0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antique experts. With £200 each...

0:00:05 > 0:00:06I want something shiny.

0:00:06 > 0:00:10..a classic car, and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12- I like a rummage!- I can't resist!

0:00:12 > 0:00:16The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction. But it's no mean feat.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19- Sorry!- Why do I always do this to myself?

0:00:19 > 0:00:20There'll be worthy winners...

0:00:20 > 0:00:22- Give us a kiss. - ..and valiant losers.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25- Come on, stick 'em up.- So, 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!

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Sound the antiques klaxon!

0:00:41 > 0:00:42HORN TOOTS

0:00:42 > 0:00:44We're off on a brand-new adventure,

0:00:44 > 0:00:47with auctioneer Christina Trevanion and dealer Mark Stacey.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Should be a laugh!

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Christina! Gosh, this is exciting!

0:00:52 > 0:00:54The first day of our Antiques Roadshow!

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Yep. Very exciting, but I'm also quite nervous.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01- Oh, Christina!- I am, because I've never, ever worked with you before.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Mmm. I'd be feeling anxious, too.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07- People say I flirt.- Ha-ha!

0:01:07 > 0:01:08Does the Pope have a balcony?

0:01:08 > 0:01:10I don't flirt, I wouldn't know how to flirt!

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Oh, no, Christina, of course you wouldn't! No!

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Oh, no! Here we go!

0:01:16 > 0:01:19I think that's your strategy, Christina - flirt, flirt, flirt,

0:01:19 > 0:01:22and then if all else fails, flirt some more.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25OK, so, my strategy is going to be,

0:01:25 > 0:01:28no flirting, no haggling.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32HE LAUGHS

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Now, this SHOULD prove interesting!

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Our cheeky twosome have £200 apiece in their pocket and they're roaring

0:01:38 > 0:01:42along the countryside in a sassy 1977 Alfa Romeo Spider.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46I used to have one of those once. Red - for danger.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48I feel happy for you to drive all the time -

0:01:48 > 0:01:51- I like being driven by you.- Do you?!

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Pants on fire!

0:01:56 > 0:01:59This road trip kicks off in West Sussex before taking

0:01:59 > 0:02:01a gallivant north as far as Merseyside,

0:02:01 > 0:02:04with auctions in Cheshire, Gloucestershire and Manchester,

0:02:04 > 0:02:06and will conclude in Bolton.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Today, our bold adventurers begin

0:02:11 > 0:02:13in Climping in Littlehampton,

0:02:13 > 0:02:14and will auction in Birkenhead

0:02:14 > 0:02:17in Merseyside. That's a long way!

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Do you want me to teach you how to bat your eyelids?

0:02:19 > 0:02:20Go on, bat, bat.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Crumbs! Mark is a lucky chap,

0:02:26 > 0:02:29as Christina is dropping him off at his first shopping rendezvous.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Thank you so much.- You're very welcome, dear passenger.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37- All right, have fun. - Take care. Thanks, Christina.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Take care, all right.- See you later. - Bye! Bye!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42We'll catch up with Christina soon.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Now, Mark, get in there and get buying.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Hello, I'm Mark.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49- I'm Simon.- Nice to meet you, Simon. - And you.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Well, I'll have a good rummage round

0:02:51 > 0:02:54and hopefully we can find a few things I can negotiate with you.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Excellent.- Lovely. Thanks, Simon. - OK, thank you.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Mark loves a good mooch about

0:03:00 > 0:03:02and there's certainly plenty to look at in here.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07Except for Jumbo.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Don't worry, he did ask permission.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Ah, what's this?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Gosh, this is interesting.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30Look at the carving on this. I mean, it's absolutely amazing, isn't it?

0:03:30 > 0:03:32All this wood, and I think it might be sandalwood

0:03:32 > 0:03:36or something like this. I know what this is, it's a writing slope.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39And you see Victorian writing slopes and Georgian writing slopes

0:03:39 > 0:03:43all the time. This one, however, is slightly different.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47You can tell instantly that it's Anglo-Indian, or Burmese,

0:03:47 > 0:03:51something like that. I mean, these are always difficult to date.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56But I don't think it'll be any later than around about 1900.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58So, it is an antique.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01It needs a little bit of work here and there.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Ha-ha! I like your thinking, Mark!

0:04:03 > 0:04:07A handcrafted 19th-century writing box could be a very nice choice,

0:04:07 > 0:04:10particularly as it comes from India. Let's ask Simon for the price.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13It's lovely - how much have you got on it?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15- £35.- £35, gosh.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18You'd struggle to carve a single scroll

0:04:18 > 0:04:19for that these days, wouldn't you?

0:04:19 > 0:04:22That's a definite consideration, I think.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25- OK.- So if anybody comes in, this is reserved.- Right.- Thank you.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Let's leave Mark to mooch further.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Now, what about the lovely Christina?

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Honestly, flirt?

0:04:37 > 0:04:38Me?!

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Apparently, I'm a flirt.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46So I've said, right, OK, well, I will not flirt,

0:04:46 > 0:04:49and therefore on a level playing field, no flirting.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51No flirting whatsoever, no haggling,

0:04:51 > 0:04:54it will just be me doing a simple business transaction.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56And hopefully winning.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Once a flirt, always a flirt.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Christina is off to the cathedral city of Chichester in West Sussex -

0:05:06 > 0:05:08my county town.

0:05:08 > 0:05:13And it's here that the British astronaut Major Tim Peake was born.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16We know that our very own star Christina can rocket to success,

0:05:16 > 0:05:19but can she find what she needs in Whitestone Farm Antiques?

0:05:19 > 0:05:23Remember, she said no flirting or haggling.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Right...

0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Hello.- Hi.- Hi. Christina.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Hi, I'm Joe. - Joe, lovely to meet you, Joe.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32- And you.- My goodness, this is a barn full of treasure, isn't it?

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Well, we try, we try.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36I like the disco balls!

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Party girl!

0:05:39 > 0:05:42What was that about no flirting, Christina?

0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Can I open this, Joe? - Yeah, certainly. Yeah.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57GLASS SQUEAKS

0:05:57 > 0:05:59That's a good sound effect.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03It's like a nail going down a blackboard - that would put me off!

0:06:03 > 0:06:04Ooh!

0:06:04 > 0:06:06It's not that bad, Christina!

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Erm, what did I see in here?

0:06:09 > 0:06:12That's rather nice, isn't it?

0:06:12 > 0:06:15I do love a nice Stilton scoop, and there are collectors for them,

0:06:15 > 0:06:18aren't there? That's quite fun.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21- A little silver-plated example. - Yeah.- What have you got on that?

0:06:21 > 0:06:23I could do that for 18.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27OK. Now...this could be interesting cos I'm not allowed to flirt

0:06:27 > 0:06:30- and I'm not allowed to haggle. - Ah, right, well...

0:06:30 > 0:06:32So you've got to give me your best price. What, have I got to go?

0:06:32 > 0:06:35- I've got to leave?- The flirting...

0:06:35 > 0:06:37- it's mandatory.- Oh, really?

0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Absolutely.- Well, if it's mandatory, then I'll have to.- Mmm.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43I feel like a gooseberry.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46- So, 18 on that.- 18.- And I'm not allowed to haggle, remember,

0:06:46 > 0:06:48so that's your best price on that?

0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Yeah, you are allowed to haggle. - No, I'm not!- You are!

0:06:50 > 0:06:53No, I've told Mark I'm not allowed to haggle.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55I can't haggle about haggling!

0:06:55 > 0:06:57SHE LAUGHS

0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Everybody haggles. - That's not good.- 15.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02OK, I have taken five steps into a shop and I have already broken

0:07:02 > 0:07:06- the no flirting and no haggling rule!- No, no.- I am doomed!

0:07:06 > 0:07:10- I saw it, I got the price wrong. It is 15.- OK.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11I like your style.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17OK, let's leave flirty Trevelyan and catch up with Mark.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20He is still browsing the stock of his first shop.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25I found this little box... I've been to Moscow and the Russians are

0:07:25 > 0:07:29very famous for this type of papier-mache lacquer.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33It has been going on for centuries. This isn't quite a newish piece.

0:07:33 > 0:07:38And I think this represents Saint Basil's in Red Square.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41It's a lovely Russian Orthodox church.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45And this is all hand-painted and hand-gilded.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47The art of Russian lacquer painting

0:07:47 > 0:07:50is internationally recognised amongst collectors.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53This could be a goodie, but it looks a bit new to me.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55A pretty little thing, but I'm thinking,

0:07:55 > 0:07:57these days when things are online,

0:07:57 > 0:08:01people are often looking for just decorative things and sometimes

0:08:01 > 0:08:04the pictures look a lot better than the piece is.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07So people go mad for them. It's priced at £15.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10Time to talk money.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14I like these two items.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17I think they will appeal to auction. You said 15 on this and 35 on that.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21Can I make you a sort of... a tempting offer?

0:08:21 > 0:08:24- OK.- Could we do them for 30 for the two?

0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Yes, that's fine.- Lovely. Let's shake hands on that quickly

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- and I am going to give you some money.- That was easy.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34And it makes the sandalwood writing box £20

0:08:34 > 0:08:36and the papier-mache box £10.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Well done, Mark.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42Now, dare we return to the vivacious Christina?

0:08:42 > 0:08:43Oh, it's broken.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47She's still with dealer Joe in Chichester.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Hey, this is cool.- What is this?

0:08:51 > 0:08:53It needs a little bit of TLC.

0:08:54 > 0:08:58A little bit?!

0:08:58 > 0:09:02It turns out Joe remembers seeing this very arcade machine

0:09:02 > 0:09:04when he was a teenager, in Brighton.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06That cannot be true.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09You don't remember seeing this, last year when you were a teenager.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Last year when I was a teenager!

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Love you.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15All right, flirty Trevelyan.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17So, what have you got on it?

0:09:17 > 0:09:21- What does it say on the price tag? - What does it say on the price tag?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Oh!- It says 350.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Oh, indeed.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Sock it to me, Joe. Come on.- 250.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32And be kind, I should have said, before you said that.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34I'm being kind. 250.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37I've only got a £200 budget

0:09:37 > 0:09:39and I have to buy lots of different things.

0:09:39 > 0:09:44Is there any, any way I could secure this for under £200?

0:09:44 > 0:09:45No pressure, Joe.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48200, absolute... That is, that is...

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Right, OK. I need to be sensible.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54I do love it.

0:09:54 > 0:09:59But I need to leave myself some money to buy other stuff.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03So...180

0:10:03 > 0:10:04and you've got a deal.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06But I'm not haggling with you.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09- At all.- No, you're not haggling.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12- You're not haggling. - And maybe the Stilton scoop as well.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17180 for a Stilton scoop and an amusement arcade machine thing.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19HE SIGHS

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Go on.- You're haggling.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23No, I'm not.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25I promise. Really?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28180 quid. 180 Great British pounds.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Have I flirted?- No.

0:10:30 > 0:10:31Have I haggled?

0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Yes.- No!- No, sorry, no.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37£180.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Oh, God. I've just spent all my money.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42It's going to be tight now, isn't it?

0:10:42 > 0:10:44It really is. Thank you very much.

0:10:44 > 0:10:45Goodness gracious.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49That breaks down to £165 for the vintage arcade game

0:10:49 > 0:10:52and £15 for the Stilton scoop.

0:10:54 > 0:10:58And blimey, look - she's only got two Great British tenners left.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Meanwhile, Mark has made his way to Chichester.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07His next stop is Gems Antiques.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Fascinating, cos I think there's going to be lots of gems in here.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Ha, how original of you, Mark(!)

0:11:18 > 0:11:20I love this shop.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Cos there's quality, quality everywhere.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Now, this looks like it might be a mighty fine specimen.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31The horse, not Mark.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Now, this is interesting.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I don't usually go for rocking horses

0:11:35 > 0:11:37or things to do with juvenilia,

0:11:37 > 0:11:39but this is actually quite nice.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41It's quite well-proportioned.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45I like the stylised head and it has little glass eyes, can you see?

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Which are a nice feature.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49It's obviously been well loved and played with

0:11:49 > 0:11:53cos all the original fur is off it...

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Not only that, it is believed the rocking horse belonged to

0:11:56 > 0:11:58the brother of the King of the Belgians

0:11:58 > 0:12:03and reputedly came from his summer palace in Ostend. Gosh!

0:12:03 > 0:12:05It's certainly got age.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07It's certainly Edwardian,

0:12:07 > 0:12:09so it's going back to sort of 1900, 1910.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12It's rather nice, that.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Time to get Maureen over for a price.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17I've had it about 12 years in store.

0:12:17 > 0:12:22Really? What are you looking for on that, Maureen?

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Because I am stuck for space...

0:12:24 > 0:12:29100 is what I gave. You can have it for 100.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31I love him so much I'm going to say yes, Maureen. Thank you.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34- And you want some money, don't you? - I will, yeah!

0:12:34 > 0:12:38Half his budget on a bald, old rocking horse.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40A bold move from Mark.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Come on, giddy-up.

0:12:42 > 0:12:43It's not real, you know.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Meanwhile, Christina has travelled

0:12:49 > 0:12:50to the West Sussex town

0:12:50 > 0:12:51of Bognor Regis.

0:12:51 > 0:12:56She's having some respite from the rigours of shopping to find out

0:12:56 > 0:12:59about the British love of packing a bucket and spade

0:12:59 > 0:13:02and heading on to the good old seaside.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07Here in Bognor, it all started in the late 18th century

0:13:07 > 0:13:10when wealthy property tycoon Sir Richard Hotham

0:13:10 > 0:13:13wanted to emulate smart towns like Brighton and Weymouth

0:13:13 > 0:13:17and so began the creation of Bognor as a popular seaside resort.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23Christina is meeting with local historian Sylvia Endacott

0:13:23 > 0:13:26to find out just why this seaside town became such a hit

0:13:26 > 0:13:28with holiday-makers.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30So, how did Bognor develop?

0:13:30 > 0:13:34Because obviously Hotham thought of it as a seaside town,

0:13:34 > 0:13:36he wanted to build this resort.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38He built large constructions

0:13:38 > 0:13:42on the road into Bognor and they still exist today.

0:13:42 > 0:13:47And these were going to be the large houses for royalty

0:13:47 > 0:13:50and moneyed people to come down and stay.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54It became the fashion to take to the water.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58The curative properties of the sea were considered to be beneficial

0:13:58 > 0:14:01in aiding speedy recovery from diseases and ailments.

0:14:01 > 0:14:06The Victorian era saw a dramatic increase in visits to the seaside

0:14:06 > 0:14:10and Bognor was the very first English resort

0:14:10 > 0:14:11specially designed for bathing.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13Brrrr!

0:14:13 > 0:14:17This was the sort of thing, away from all your troubles, come down,

0:14:17 > 0:14:21sit by this, and it was a case of come and sit by this

0:14:21 > 0:14:23or use a bathing machine

0:14:23 > 0:14:25if you wanted to go swimming.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29A bathing machine, I like the sound of a bathing machine.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Principally, to us, it's a hut on wheels.

0:14:32 > 0:14:37You climb up the steps, go inside, close the door.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40As you are getting undressed,

0:14:40 > 0:14:44there was a horse put on the front and it pulls you out to sea.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48And when it is out far enough, the horse gets taken off,

0:14:48 > 0:14:52brought back onto the beach and you walk down the steps and go swimming.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54- My goodness! - All very prim and proper.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57Just in case anybody saw your ankles!

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Perish the thought.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04The advent of the railway boom in the 1840s meant Bognor became

0:15:04 > 0:15:09very accessible and would attract people in their thousands.

0:15:09 > 0:15:15The major visit was when King George V came down here in 1929.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17He came to convalesce for 13 weeks.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20I think the first five or six, it snowed!

0:15:20 > 0:15:25But he did convalesce and went back to London

0:15:25 > 0:15:28and then sometime afterwards,

0:15:28 > 0:15:31Regis was bestowed on Bognor.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34And that is how we get our Bognor Regis.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37With the addition of the word "Regis", meaning "of the King",

0:15:37 > 0:15:40Bognor received the ultimate royal seal of approval.

0:15:42 > 0:15:47The town has evolved over the years and adapted to changing lifestyles.

0:15:47 > 0:15:52Now, it would be rude not to have a quick game of minigolf, wouldn't it?

0:15:52 > 0:15:53Right.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Oh! Like snooker.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Not really.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02It may have had its Victorian heyday, but there will always be

0:16:02 > 0:16:06a call for the seaside town in the UK, won't there?

0:16:06 > 0:16:10I think the seaside is the biggest draw to any resort.

0:16:10 > 0:16:14And the ability to see the sea and sit quietly and contemplate, maybe.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18Exactly. I agree. It's been a delight, thank you very much.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Pleasure.- Come on, I'll beat you.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Oh, come on!

0:16:24 > 0:16:25THEY LAUGH

0:16:27 > 0:16:31Over the last 200 years, the love of the British seaside getaway

0:16:31 > 0:16:34has enjoyed an enduring appeal.

0:16:34 > 0:16:38Even in the 21st century, Bognor Regis still captures the essence

0:16:38 > 0:16:42of a traditional trip to the seaside, and long may it continue.

0:16:47 > 0:16:52Christina is reunited with Mark and after all that fresh sea air,

0:16:52 > 0:16:55it's time to relax. Nighty night, you two.

0:17:01 > 0:17:06Look at that sunshine. I wonder what the topic of conversation in the car

0:17:06 > 0:17:08will be this morning?

0:17:08 > 0:17:11The trouble is, I knew you wouldn't be able to do it.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Do you know how I knew?

0:17:14 > 0:17:17- I didn't say I couldn't do it. - How you couldn't do it?

0:17:17 > 0:17:19- I could do it.- Because your lips were moving.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22THEY LAUGH

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Mark, I did do it.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27I didn't flirt. Much.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31Methinks the lady doth protest.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Here is what they have snapped up so far.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Mark has three international lots -

0:17:36 > 0:17:39the 19th century Indian sandalwood writing box,

0:17:39 > 0:17:41the Russian papier-mache box

0:17:41 > 0:17:45and the delightful rocking horse, perhaps owned by Belgian royalty.

0:17:45 > 0:17:50This gives Mark £70 for the day ahead.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54As for Christina, she bought a little Stilton scoop

0:17:54 > 0:17:56and a rather big arcade game,

0:17:56 > 0:18:00splashing almost all her money on this gamble,

0:18:00 > 0:18:03leaving her with just £20. Good luck with that, girl.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06What are we going to call the car?

0:18:06 > 0:18:09I don't know. Do you go for things like that? It's a car.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12- It's an Alfa Romeo. - It's a Spider.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Incy Wincy.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Incy Wincy.

0:18:17 > 0:18:22Now, then, our lovely road trip pals - and Incy Wincy -

0:18:22 > 0:18:24have travelled to the Hampshire city of Winchester.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28The city has inspired a wealth of literary classics,

0:18:28 > 0:18:31including Jane Austen's Sense And Sensibility.

0:18:31 > 0:18:36Talking of sense, who decided to make this pair share a shop?

0:18:36 > 0:18:40Kings Walk Antiques Market is the place of battle.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Well, Christina, antique centre, here we go.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Two floors, antiques and crafts.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Age before beauty, dear. - Age before beauty?

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Age before beauty?!

0:18:50 > 0:18:52What are you doing, pushing me away?

0:18:52 > 0:18:54- How rude!- Happy hunting.- Have fun.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57They're like naughty children, aren't they?

0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Hello.- Hello. - You must be Penny.- I am.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Hello, Christina.- How do we get in, how do we...?

0:19:06 > 0:19:07This one is open.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10You can get into that one.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13It sort of feels like I'm behind a bar.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Yes, we haven't got any drinks apart from cups of coffee.

0:19:16 > 0:19:17Cocktail?

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Cheers!

0:19:20 > 0:19:24I am sensing Trevelyan is in a mischievous mood.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27(Mark is only just there so we had better be quiet.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29(I don't want him to think I'm looking at really good stuff.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32(No, no. Oh, right.)

0:19:32 > 0:19:34What are you up to over there?

0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Nothing!- Christina, I can see you.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40- I am hiding.- I only have one thing to say to you.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Carry on flirting.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Secret agent.- Oh, dear.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48Mark is not in the mood for silliness.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51But dealer Jocelyn has something Mark likes the look of.

0:19:51 > 0:19:56- What is that little carved bit there?- This is New Zealand jade.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Oh, it is pretty, that. How much is that?

0:20:00 > 0:20:02- That could be 25.- Gosh.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06This looks to me like a modern piece of Chinese jade, or nephrite,

0:20:06 > 0:20:10unlikely to have been made in New Zealand and hence the price.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15It is probably only 30 or 40 years old.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19- Let's go.- Look out, someone is on the prowl again.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21I can hear somebody coming.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Hi.- I will pop it in my pocket.

0:20:23 > 0:20:24What are you looking at?

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Something extraordinarily rare.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Is it?- And you can't have it.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31It is in my pocket.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33In your pocket? Have you been pocketing things?

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Stop being so nosy, Christina.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Come on, Penny, we are looking at antiques. We have priceless things.

0:20:38 > 0:20:43- I don't trust a word that woman says.- Is this yours as well?

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Has she gone? I can get it back out now.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48I think you should reserve that for me.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Do not show it to you know who.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53- I will pop it down there.- I will carry on looking a bit.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Thank you very much, Jocelyn.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Anything else catch your eye?

0:20:59 > 0:21:03These are a set of five sterling silver buttons.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Quite heavy.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07And they are all hand-beaten

0:21:07 > 0:21:12and they have got a kind of Arts and Crafts look about them,

0:21:12 > 0:21:15so they date to 1900-ish.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18And they are not all the same, are they?

0:21:18 > 0:21:22Five different designs and they're not even that.

0:21:22 > 0:21:23Or were they?

0:21:23 > 0:21:26You see, there is different designs on each of them.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30Can you just tell me the best price you could do on those on?

0:21:30 > 0:21:31Just for me to think.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36- 45.- 45.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39I think for me to give them a chance at auction,

0:21:39 > 0:21:43I need to get them 35. So that would be 25...£60 for the two.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Can you go to 65?

0:21:47 > 0:21:51I knew you were going to say that. You have been so sweet to me.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54They are yours at 65.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Oh, go on. You have had to put up with me all this time.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59You need a fiver compensation.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Thank you so much. - You're welcome.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05That's £25 for the nephrite plaque,

0:22:05 > 0:22:08and £40 for the collection of patterns.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12Now Christina has nabbed Jocelyn. What's that you've got there?

0:22:13 > 0:22:17- Christina, are you all right? - Absolutely.

0:22:17 > 0:22:21So, we have got a mahogany cased and glazed display cabinet,

0:22:21 > 0:22:26which I think is for JS Fry - so that's chocolate, isn't it?

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Which is really rather lovely. Jocelyn, what do you have on this?

0:22:29 > 0:22:31I have 30 on it.

0:22:31 > 0:22:36£30, OK. So, my slight problem

0:22:36 > 0:22:38is that I've got...

0:22:38 > 0:22:43I've got to buy two or three more things and I have £20 left to do it.

0:22:44 > 0:22:49Is there any chance you could do it for £18, Jocelyn?

0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Yes, I will take 18.- At £18, Jocelyn, I thank you very much.

0:22:52 > 0:22:53You're welcome.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Well, she laid her cards on the table

0:22:56 > 0:22:58and she achieved a brilliant deal.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01£12 discount on Fry's chocolate display cabinet,

0:23:01 > 0:23:03which is a really good thing.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06While Christina was closing her deal,

0:23:06 > 0:23:09Mark has got back behind the wheel of the Spider.

0:23:10 > 0:23:14Christina is quite fun, but she does not stop talking.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18And she is very competitive, even though she says she is not,

0:23:18 > 0:23:19but I know she is.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23Ha, unlike our Mr Stacey, eh?

0:23:25 > 0:23:29Mark is making his way to the Hampshire village of Swanwick.

0:23:29 > 0:23:34Situated near Southampton, it's home to the Bursledon Brickworks,

0:23:34 > 0:23:39the only surviving Victorian steam-driven brickworks in the UK.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Since the beginning of time,

0:23:42 > 0:23:47the ordinary brick has proved to be extraordinary and is responsible for

0:23:47 > 0:23:50creating everything from the mundane to the remarkable.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54Mark is meeting with project manager Caroline Haynes to find out why

0:23:54 > 0:23:58the simple brick helped shape and build Britain.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Hello, Caroline. I'm Mark.- Hello, Mark. Welcome to the brickworks.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03We're going to learn all about bricks, aren't we?

0:24:03 > 0:24:06More than you ever knew you needed to know.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09With a history spanning thousands of years,

0:24:09 > 0:24:14the first fired bricks were used in ancient Mesopotamia.

0:24:14 > 0:24:15When the Romans conquered Britain,

0:24:15 > 0:24:18they brought with them the trusty brick,

0:24:18 > 0:24:22but it wasn't until centuries later that its true value was recognised.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25By the time of the 16th, 17th century,

0:24:25 > 0:24:27people have got tired of their houses burning down.

0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Of course, the Great Fire of London. - Exactly. We were still building out

0:24:31 > 0:24:35of an ancient tradition of wattle and daub, which is clay

0:24:35 > 0:24:37but it is squashed onto timber,

0:24:37 > 0:24:42and they would catch fire regularly and after the Great Fire of London,

0:24:42 > 0:24:44it was the first time legislation said,

0:24:44 > 0:24:47"You mustn't use materials that burn."

0:24:47 > 0:24:49As demand increased,

0:24:49 > 0:24:53so did the need for more efficient methods of production,

0:24:53 > 0:24:56and on an industrial scale.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59When did that mass technology come in?

0:24:59 > 0:25:02That really came in with the Victorians. They were the great

0:25:02 > 0:25:06inventors and innovators and they took hand-making of bricks

0:25:06 > 0:25:09and they started trying to mechanise it to get the volumes,

0:25:09 > 0:25:13and it took a long time to get it going but then machinery -

0:25:13 > 0:25:16like the ones we have here - came on the market and they were

0:25:16 > 0:25:18snapped up and these were serious,

0:25:18 > 0:25:21big machines that could make a lot of bricks.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Founded in 1897,

0:25:25 > 0:25:27the Bursledon Brickworks was fitted out

0:25:27 > 0:25:30with these state-of-the-art contraptions.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Time to take a look at the mighty machine that was capable

0:25:33 > 0:25:37of producing as many as 30,000 bricks a day.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Caroline, this looks like a wonderful machine.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44- It doesn't still work, does it? - It actually does still work.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46It has been fully restored. Would you like to see it going?

0:25:46 > 0:25:50- I'd love to.- OK. Bob, can you start her?

0:25:52 > 0:25:53Thanks, Bob.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01By 1935, and after various extensions,

0:26:01 > 0:26:05the brickworks was producing in excess of 20 million bricks a year.

0:26:07 > 0:26:11So, the clay comes down through here and it gets squeezed out of there

0:26:11 > 0:26:15as a big sausage of brown clay to make bricks.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17It comes through here.

0:26:17 > 0:26:18It gets sand dropped on it

0:26:18 > 0:26:21and then it goes through the cutting wires there.

0:26:21 > 0:26:25- These?- So, if you pull the lever. - This one? Just pull it?- Yeah.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28You'll engage the engine, it will do the work.

0:26:28 > 0:26:29Oh, gosh!

0:26:29 > 0:26:33- Wow.- And that has cut the bricks into the right sizes.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35And this would have been going on every second?

0:26:35 > 0:26:38All the time. And you took four off like that.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- It keeps going.- Four, four, four.

0:26:41 > 0:26:45- And they swapped sides.- Yes.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49It was here the famous Fareham red brick was produced and was used

0:26:49 > 0:26:54to build magnificent buildings such as the Royal Albert Hall.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Now, that's how the machine would make it,

0:26:58 > 0:27:02how about trying out the old-fashioned method by hand, Mark?

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Well, this is a much gentler job than working in the factory.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08It is much gentler in one way -

0:27:08 > 0:27:10you haven't got the noisy machinery,

0:27:10 > 0:27:13but if you see how slowly we are going,

0:27:13 > 0:27:15you would be expected to do four of these minute.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Four a minute?

0:27:17 > 0:27:20Yeah, much, much faster than we are managing at the moment.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22- What you're going to do now... - Lift it up?

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Throw it into the mould.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27Like that. Ready.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30Perfect. I will push it in a bit.

0:27:30 > 0:27:31And now you strike the top off.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33This is called a strike.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Run it along the top... - This is like baking.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38The whole thing is very like bread baking.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41Pull, pull, pull back.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43And this comes off.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Peel that off. - And there is the brick.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48And then it goes on that piece of wood, does it?

0:27:48 > 0:27:51Yeah, it sometimes comes out quite quick.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54- That is not bad. - A very good brick.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56Well done. It is perfect.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58- Your own brick. - First of four a minute.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00Yeah, you need about 10,000 more.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05I want a garden shed made of bricks

0:28:05 > 0:28:10- so I will let you carry on making the rest for me.- Thank you so much!

0:28:10 > 0:28:12A bit cheeky, Mark.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14In 1974, the brickworks were closed,

0:28:14 > 0:28:18but thankfully the site has been saved from destruction and continues

0:28:18 > 0:28:22to honour the brick making industry of our country as a museum,

0:28:22 > 0:28:27paying testament to the legacy of the humble British brick.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Meanwhile, Christina has journeyed to the largest city in Hampshire -

0:28:34 > 0:28:36Southampton.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39Our flirty girl wants to blow her budget.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42With only two pounds left, good luck!

0:28:42 > 0:28:44BELL JINGLES

0:28:46 > 0:28:49Simon is manning his father's shop today.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51Prepare yourself, young man.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54My goodness, this is a massive trip down memory lane for me.

0:28:54 > 0:28:58My university halls of residence were about..

0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Well, over there.- Not far.

0:29:01 > 0:29:03We went to the same halls of residence.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05- Did you?- Yes. Solent University.

0:29:05 > 0:29:08That's right. When did you graduate?

0:29:08 > 0:29:092002.

0:29:09 > 0:29:10Oh, my God.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13I graduated in 2001.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15We were probably there at the same time!

0:29:15 > 0:29:17Uh-oh!

0:29:17 > 0:29:20You don't look familiar, thank goodness!

0:29:20 > 0:29:21Oh, blimey.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23Moving swiftly on...

0:29:24 > 0:29:26This shop has been here for 40 years

0:29:26 > 0:29:30and specialises in marine memorabilia.

0:29:30 > 0:29:36So, is there anything that you have in possibly the sort of £2 region?

0:29:36 > 0:29:39£2? Er...

0:29:39 > 0:29:42You have full permission to throw me out of your shop if you want to.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45We have things slightly more, but I am sure we can do a deal.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47- OK.- Let's have a look. £2...

0:29:47 > 0:29:50We have to be looking at about four or five.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54Or 30 or 40. 70 or 80.

0:29:56 > 0:29:57£4.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00This is a QE2 bottle opener.

0:30:00 > 0:30:01That is £4.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03You can have that for £2.

0:30:03 > 0:30:06- It doesn't float my boat!- Good one!

0:30:08 > 0:30:11That was quite funny, even for me.

0:30:13 > 0:30:16Yes, ha-ha(!) Maybe there will be something downstairs, then.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21Oh, gosh. This isn't going well, is it?

0:30:21 > 0:30:23Don't lose the faith, Simon.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26We can do this. I know we can do this.

0:30:28 > 0:30:29What's that?

0:30:29 > 0:30:32That is an old college cap.

0:30:32 > 0:30:33How much is that?

0:30:37 > 0:30:39- £9.- £9.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41That is quite fun, isn't it?

0:30:41 > 0:30:43Adrian Shipwright.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46- I don't know who he is.- Is that why you bought it, it has "ship" in it?

0:30:46 > 0:30:49No, no. It just came in.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54It is an old college cap, probably for cricket.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Yeah, would you do that for £2?

0:30:58 > 0:31:02- Is that all you have got, £2? - Literary that is all I have.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07£2. That is it. That is all I have left in my budget.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10Well, it is quite a nice-looking £2.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12- Very shiny, isn't it? - Yes, it is clean.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15- We will take that.- £2 for the cap.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17It is a deal. Thank you very, very much.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19- And you model it so beautifully. - Thank you.

0:31:21 > 0:31:22Well done, thank you very much.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24That's it. I am done.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26- Two quid.- Sorry.

0:31:26 > 0:31:28That is enough for a coffee.

0:31:28 > 0:31:29If you're lucky.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32Well done, Christina. Your last £2

0:31:32 > 0:31:35on a charming vintage public school cap.

0:31:39 > 0:31:43Very fetching. You could start a new trend. Maybe.

0:31:45 > 0:31:49And that is it. Our first leg of shopping is complete.

0:31:49 > 0:31:53Christina has a total of four lots comprising the vintage arcade game,

0:31:53 > 0:31:55the 19th-century Stilton scoop,

0:31:55 > 0:31:58the chocolate display cabinet

0:31:58 > 0:31:59and the public school cap.

0:31:59 > 0:32:03Christina has blown her £200 budget exactly.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07Mark has bought five lots -

0:32:07 > 0:32:09the 19th-century writing box,

0:32:09 > 0:32:12the Russian papier-mache box,

0:32:12 > 0:32:13the rocking horse,

0:32:13 > 0:32:15the nephrite plaque

0:32:15 > 0:32:17and the collection of silver arts and crafts buttons.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21Mark was pretty confident, too -

0:32:21 > 0:32:24he spent £195.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26Come on, you two. Confess what you really think

0:32:26 > 0:32:30of one another's haul of goodies. Stand by.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33Congratulations to you, Christina. I think it's amazing you spent

0:32:33 > 0:32:36every penny and you have taken some gambles, girl.

0:32:36 > 0:32:40Mark's items are a little eclectic bunch of loveliness,

0:32:40 > 0:32:43much like himself, he would say.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47That pinball machine, 1930s from Brighton Pier, 165 quid...

0:32:47 > 0:32:50I wish you luck with that one. It is a good gamble.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52He did pay an awful lot of money for the rocking horse,

0:32:52 > 0:32:56£100, but potentially it was a risk worth taking.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58It might just win him the race.

0:32:59 > 0:33:01Time now to point the Alfa Romeo

0:33:01 > 0:33:04at Merseyside and an auction in Birkenhead.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08- Were you nervous?- Always.

0:33:08 > 0:33:09Are you nervous today?

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Don't touch me.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15Stop poking me, Christina.

0:33:15 > 0:33:17Leave my hair alone.

0:33:17 > 0:33:18- Christina.- What?

0:33:18 > 0:33:21It is soft, your hair.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24Don't pull it too much. It'll come off.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28While our lovebirds pull themselves together,

0:33:28 > 0:33:31today's sale is held at Kruger Gibbons.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35- Look, I drive you right to the door. - Well done, sweetheart. Thank you.

0:33:35 > 0:33:37I just need a red carpet now.

0:33:37 > 0:33:39Don't get carried away, dear.

0:33:39 > 0:33:43- There is only room for one star in the show.- You're right.

0:33:43 > 0:33:47Our auction today is Adrian Kruger.

0:33:47 > 0:33:51How do our pair's offerings grab you, Adrian?

0:33:51 > 0:33:53The papier-mache box is lovely.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55The workmanship in that is gorgeous.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58It is so precise, beautiful piece. I think that could do quite well.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01The arcade game, which is a fabulous piece.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04Some real history in that and the fact it came from Brighton,

0:34:04 > 0:34:07we have already had some interest on that one so it'll be interesting

0:34:07 > 0:34:10- to see where it goes. - OK, quiet, everyone -

0:34:10 > 0:34:15the auction is about to begin and we are also open to online bidders.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18Looks comfy, doesn't it?

0:34:18 > 0:34:21I'll tell you what, it's like being at home.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24I wonder what's coming on telly next?

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Well, don't switch over because

0:34:27 > 0:34:30first up is Mark's pretty Russian papier-mache box.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34- £30, start me.- Come on...

0:34:52 > 0:34:54Well, that's not bad. £25 profit.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56Wonderful result.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Well done, Mark. Long may it continue.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00Good start. I am positive. Are you?

0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Good.- I think this is going to be all right.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04Let's hope so.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07It is Christina's big gamble next -

0:35:07 > 0:35:09the vintage arcade game.

0:35:09 > 0:35:12It is a 1930s arcade game from Brighton.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14Do you remember playing on it?

0:35:14 > 0:35:16As a child. Do you remember it?

0:35:16 > 0:35:18I bet you do, don't you?

0:35:18 > 0:35:20I bet you had hours of fun.

0:35:20 > 0:35:24Christina, you are now nothing to me.

0:35:24 > 0:35:28Start me at 150. 150 we have.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30150 I have got.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09The gamble paid off. Well done, Christina.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12- Well done, you. - I thought it would be a loss.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14I am massively relieved about that.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17Time now for Mark's big gamble -

0:36:17 > 0:36:21the late 19th century rocking horse is next.

0:36:45 > 0:36:46Oh, that's disappointing.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51Surely is and someone has got one heck of a good buy.

0:36:52 > 0:36:57- Never mind.- Move on.- Plenty more rocking horses in the sea.

0:37:00 > 0:37:04Seahorses. I'm going to do a rocking seahorse.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08Sounds different.

0:37:09 > 0:37:13Christina's silver-plated Stilton scoop is next.

0:37:13 > 0:37:14£20 to start me.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41We're sort of bumbling along evenly here, aren't we?

0:37:41 > 0:37:45Yeah. Bit of a break, even, bit of a profit, bit of a loss.

0:37:45 > 0:37:46How exciting.

0:37:48 > 0:37:52Can Mark race into lead position with his sandalwood writing box?

0:38:14 > 0:38:18- You've got to be grateful for a profit.- That you do.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20And it brings you neck and neck with Christina.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23The winning post is within sight

0:38:23 > 0:38:26- and I think we both might be short of it.- Yeah!

0:38:29 > 0:38:31Well, one of you has to win.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34It's Christina's vintage schoolboy cap next.

0:38:55 > 0:38:58Excellent result on your £2 purchase, Christina.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02- It's only a small profit.- It's only a small profit.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04- Just a tiny weeny one. - Five times what you paid for it.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06It's forgivable, yeah.

0:39:09 > 0:39:10Thank goodness he's smiling.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13It's Mark's nephrite next.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15- Come on, come on. - No, I'm very positive.

0:39:15 > 0:39:17I never give up.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37I thought it would do more.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39Ha, blimey.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42But a small profit, nevertheless.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44I'm thinking already of round two.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46- Really? What are you going to buy next time?- Just watch out.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49Oh, really? Ooh, fighting talk, I like it!

0:39:51 > 0:39:53Give me a good fight, come on.

0:39:56 > 0:40:01Now it's Christina's Fry's chocolate display cabinet.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03This is the one I'm most worried about.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06- Oh, are you?- Yeah, cos you only paid 18 quid for it.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09And it's so in at the moment. Such a good find.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12I can start that one with me at £80 I have.

0:40:12 > 0:40:16- £80 I have. - I told you.- He's got £80.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39What a whopper of a profit, Christina.

0:40:39 > 0:40:40Dry your eyes, Mark.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44Christina, I'm not a pet.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46Darling, are you all right?

0:40:46 > 0:40:48I'm not speaking to you.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55It's Mark's last chance to take the day with his collection

0:40:58 > 0:41:00- I predict a profit.- Do you? - Mm-hm. Yep.

0:41:00 > 0:41:04I think they're lovely. I think you need to believe in them more.

0:41:04 > 0:41:05I believe. I believe I can fly.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08I believe that I can fly, Christina.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11- You can touch the sky? - Touch the sky.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14- What's the next line?- Um, I think about you every night and day.
