0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- What a job!- With £200 each... - You with me?
0:00:07 > 0:00:09- ..a classic car... - Buckle up.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12..and a goal, to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Oh, sorry.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19But it's no mean feat.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23- There will be worthy winners...- Yes! - ..and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory, or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Have a good trip!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Look lively, you horrible lot.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45It's the third leg with sparkly road trippers Paul Laidlaw and
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Margie Cooper.- Well, there's one good thing about the rain.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- What's that?- The roof's up.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51- Indeed.- It's cosy, isn't it?
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- Yeah.- Dead cosy.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Just me and thee.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Paul's little mind digs this.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- Positively. - I've got three goes left.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Yes, look,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06one mistake on my part, never going to happen.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Does that ever happen?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Well, I'm desperately trying to avoid it, Margie.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12You're not doing too badly, Paul.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Margie's lagging behind.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21From her original £200, she has £213.70.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Paul had the same amount but he has multiplied it to a wonderful
0:01:26 > 0:01:29£434.40.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30So, well done!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35They're in a Morris Minor which was first registered in 1963.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42- We're having fun.- We're having fun, the Moggie's holding up.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44It's not raining on the inside.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Goodness!
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Our pair's road trip kicked off in Hemswell Cliff
0:01:52 > 0:01:55in Lincolnshire, and they'll gallop across Yorkshire,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58and take a spin around the Midlands before concluding
0:01:58 > 0:02:00in Shrewsbury in Shropshire.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Today, our adventure begins in the seaside resort of Scarborough,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07and we conclude with an auction at Rotherham in South Yorkshire.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08How lovely.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10It's fish and chip weather.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12It's not ice cream, but fish and chip weather.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- What a shame.- You fancy a wee poke of chips?
0:02:15 > 0:02:16No, thank you.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I'm concentrating today.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Now, there's a turn up for the books.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Spillage in aisle three.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Giggles galore with this pair, eh?
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Here we go.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Ah, the joys of the great British weather, eh?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Don't I take you to the nicest of places?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Come on. Let's go shopping.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Now, they're ready for Scarborough but is Scarborough ready for them?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52What's this, then? A romantic stroll?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Do you know what, even in the rain this is gorgeous.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I know. Victorian England.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Like yourself, Margie.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Oh, do you see what I did there?!
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Oh!- And yet, this is all about competition.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- It is.- Shops.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Shops. I'll race you.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11All right, Paul. He's such a big kid, isn't he?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Let's stick with Margie girl,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Antiques And Collectors Centre is a family run affair
0:03:16 > 0:03:19and has been on the go since 1965.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Way before her time.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27This looks quite an interesting corner.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Feeling under pressure, Margie?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Lots of catching up to do.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37So I fancy a little collection of something,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39which will hopefully make a profit.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44And then I can catch up. So, who says I won't?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- I think I might.- Well, we're rooting for you, Margie girl.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Oh!
0:03:52 > 0:03:54What is it for a start?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58That's a lovely engraving on the... Oh!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It's for cigarette cards.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03And it's never been used.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Foldout... A complete set can go in there.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10And of course, the great York Minster.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12And how much is that?
0:04:14 > 0:04:15£65.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Never seen one of those.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20She's spoiled for choice in here.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Let's take a peek at Paul.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27The current champ is starting here, The Vintage Window.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Nice name.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30- Hello there.- Hello!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Welcome!- I'm Paul, you are?
0:04:32 > 0:04:33I'm Faye, nice to meet you.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Likewise. Nice to be out of the rain.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Yes. Come inside into the dry.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39On this summer's day.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42He's chirpy.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Very rummagey.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49You can get in, can't you?
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Oof!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Faye, what's the story with the banknote?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Oh, here you go. Have a look.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- World War II.- So...
0:05:03 > 0:05:05A French ten franc note.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Dix francs. Dated 1941.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Well, we know what was going on in France in 1941.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11They were thoroughly occupied.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14But what draws my attention
0:05:14 > 0:05:16are all these notes.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17So, we've got...
0:05:19 > 0:05:265th of July, Bretteville, 16th of July, 25th of July,
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Bassin...
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- He's got around.- Yeah, yeah.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33This is the story of one man's
0:05:33 > 0:05:38service post D-Day up to presumably VE Day.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Isn't that a fascinating thing?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Just had that folded away somewhere safe.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Yeah. Yeah. And he'd come home and get the kids on his knee and go,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49there's where your dad...
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Wow!- And that gets you, doesn't it?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Yeah.- Gets me.- Yeah, gets me.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- What?- Superb find, Paul.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57It's a fantastic thing.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00You have got a World War II French banknote priced
0:06:00 > 0:06:01up at £15 there.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Any... Do you haggle?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Of course, yes.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Get in. What are you going to charge me for that if I buy it?
0:06:08 > 0:06:09- £12?- Ten?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- 11.- I'm not going to haggle over a pound.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14- Faye.- Wonderful.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Spot on.- Thank you very much.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Astonishing piece of World War II history, Paul.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21I like it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Now, is Margie having as much fun?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27These are always popular.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30These sweet little... Sweetheart brooches.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Which is exactly what they are.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34They are silver, so they are
0:06:34 > 0:06:37nice quality. You give it to your loved one.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Often when the war was on, too,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43they would buy a little gift for their beloved.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47There's also a lucky stick pin.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Anything else? - This is a little cravat pin.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53With a little opal.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Rose gold. I mean,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00you are just hoping that they've had it in stock for a while and
0:07:00 > 0:07:03maybe they will do me a deal.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It says 65.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07It's rose gold, it's early part of the 20th century.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10It's quite pretty, isn't it? And then you've got this here.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14That's mother-of-pearl and some kind of...
0:07:14 > 0:07:18I don't know, that's some kind of agate stone.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19It looks as though it's gold.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Yes, it says nine carat.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24You can't go wrong with gold and you can't go wrong with silver.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Just got to buy it, get the price right.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31The agate pendant is priced at £25.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33The cravat pin is 65,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36and the sweetheart brooches are unpriced.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Gird your loins, dealer Matt.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40She's on her way.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Those sweetheart brooches are going to have to be cheap.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- There's millions of them around. - Right.- Yeah.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47£50 with the box.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Yeah. 30.- 40.- 25.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Go on.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- £30.- OK.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58I will go to the rose gold cravat pin.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02And this little... Little incidental thing.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04How about I do the pair for £60?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08My thoughts for that little lot there was 45.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Thank you, Margie. Good luck with those.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17£75 in her first shop.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19She is a girl on a mission.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Now, how is the big fella getting on?
0:08:23 > 0:08:24That is a stunning vase.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- You like it?- Yeah. Stunning.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I love it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Holmegaard, Danish glass, Danish studio glass,
0:08:31 > 0:08:35with its origins in the early 19th century but we know this is a '50s
0:08:35 > 0:08:41design. Per Lutken, famous Scandinavian glass designer.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Per Lutken was the unsurpassed master of Danish glass design.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50You've got you've got a Holmegaard vase there, £35.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Back to haggling... - I do love this one.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55OK. You're going to be hard, aren't you?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Yeah, this is a beauty.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01OK. Give me a beauty of a price.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Or am I making you an offer? - Make me an offer.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- 20 quid.- 20 quid?!
0:09:07 > 0:09:08That's a good reaction.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10That's sincere. How dare you!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Get out of the shop!- Yeah! - Not a penny less than...
0:09:14 > 0:09:1730. It is beautiful.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18It's sold, then.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Brilliant.- Wasn't difficult.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Thank you.- Paul is quick off the mark today.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28Along with the 1941 ten franc note, he has parted with a total of £41.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- All the best.- Take care. Bye.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33While he's been spending his gold doubloons...
0:09:35 > 0:09:39..Margie has journeyed to the maritime town of Whitby.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42The place is famed for many a seafaring legend,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44but back in the 18th century,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46it was the epicentre for whaling expeditions.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Margie has come to Whitby Museum to learn how voyages to the Arctic
0:09:52 > 0:09:56resulted in crucial scientific discoveries.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Curator Fiona Barnard is going to enlighten Margie further.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03So, when did whaling begin in Whitby?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06It began in the 1770s, '80s.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Right. And it seems a very, very slightly barbaric and hard life.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13It was extremely barbaric.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14- And hard.- Yeah.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16But it was...
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Fulfilled a vital role in the economy of the country.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Sometimes as many as 16 ships with around 50 men per vessel would be
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Arctic-bound.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Although this killing is abhorrent in today's society,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35for the Georgian whalers, it was the dawning of the Industrial Revolution
0:10:35 > 0:10:37and whale oil was a precious commodity.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40For the first time,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44weavers and spinners were moving away from their cottages and into
0:10:44 > 0:10:47factories, so they needed to be lit.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49So you couldn't just sit on your doorstep
0:10:49 > 0:10:51getting the last of the light,
0:10:51 > 0:10:55you would want to be working all hours of the day and night
0:10:55 > 0:10:58in a large building, so they desperately needed the oil
0:10:58 > 0:11:02for lighting. It was also the oil that oiled the machinery.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08If the ships were successful, they could make up to £3,000 per trip,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11which equates to £250,000 today.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15But the challenge of working in such a harsh environment required
0:11:15 > 0:11:16great ingenuity.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Prompting father and son William Scoresby senior and William Scoresby
0:11:22 > 0:11:26junior, Whitby's most famous whaling ship captains,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28to create some rather clever inventions.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33The crow's nest was developed by the father and that did a huge job
0:11:33 > 0:11:35protecting whoever was in it.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40In the crow's nest, you will find a telescope for looking for whales,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43obviously, but also a speaking trumpet,
0:11:43 > 0:11:47so he could shout instructions to the crew as he directed the ship
0:11:47 > 0:11:48through the ice.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51And there would have been signal flags into signal to the whale
0:11:51 > 0:11:54boats that were way out at sea.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59Before that, the person on lookout navigating through the ice just had
0:11:59 > 0:12:01to tie themselves onto the rigging with maybe
0:12:01 > 0:12:03a little platform for their feet.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05So this meant they could stay up there longer.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07There's a seat inside.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09They can have their dinner sent up.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11They can have a brew sent up.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13They drank enormous amounts of tea.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Really? While the boat is doing that?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Gosh!
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Scoresby senior also developed
0:12:19 > 0:12:21different types of rigging for easier
0:12:21 > 0:12:23manoeuvrability in the ice.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26But his son became not only a brave captain
0:12:26 > 0:12:28but also a brilliant scientist.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34He did a lot of work on where to put a compass so that it wasn't affected
0:12:34 > 0:12:35by the ship's metal.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38So you mustn't put it beside the engine, for instance.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43- Right.- Which seems logical to us but a lot of people did it then.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Scoresby's research in magnetic navigation
0:12:46 > 0:12:48was critical to chart making.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49A skilled cartographer,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52his mapping of the East coast of Greenland
0:12:52 > 0:12:56contributed to the first real knowledge of this area.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Something the Admiralty hadn't yet achieved.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03He was a fellow of the Royal Society and a founder member of
0:13:03 > 0:13:07the British Association for the Advancement of Science.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09He wrote about 200 publications.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Both father and son had retired by the time declining numbers brought
0:13:15 > 0:13:19whaling to an end in Whitby in the 1830s.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23The town's whalers gave Britain so much more than the oil that lit and
0:13:23 > 0:13:25lubricated the Industrial Revolution.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29They also helped to advance the science of seafaring.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Now, where art thou, Paul Laidlaw?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I could relax now, could I not?
0:13:41 > 0:13:42£200 ahead.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45But do you know what? I wouldn't be me if I did.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Because do you know what? It is not about the winning, is it?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51I'm as focused now as I was when we were even-stevens
0:13:51 > 0:13:54with £200 a piece to go out.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Oh, I believe it.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01We're headed for the town of Pickering in North Yorkshire.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06There you go. Antiques and collectables. That'll do.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10JSC Collectables is next on Paul's radar.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13With almost £400, he's positively loaded.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Now, this is a shop that could be right up Paul's Street.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22They are specialist in militaria but there's plenty of other stuff to
0:14:22 > 0:14:23recce too.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Caroline, can I have a look in this cabinet?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Of course you can.- Is it open?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Yeah, there you go. - Thank you very much.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39It is a nice thing, that fob, isn't it?
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- It is nice, that. - The enamelling and the doms...
0:14:43 > 0:14:45The dominoes that make it.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I just put it out this afternoon.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49It's meant to be.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51WECC, sounds like cricket club, doesn't it?
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- It does, yeah.- But what the doms have got to do with...
0:14:55 > 0:14:56One, two, three, four.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Any ideas? I'm beat.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I genuinely don't have a clue.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- We didn't either.- Have you got a set of scales?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Everything down to numbers, shall we?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08So, we are not going to weigh this label.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Priced at £72.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Six grams...
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I'll make you an offer. 40 quid.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Can you not do a bit more?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I might be able to.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23See how far you can get that arm up there.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Another fiver.- Silence.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Think about that. £45 offer is there on the table.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- I'll have a look upstairs. - Right, OK, then. Thank you.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Old laughing boy is not hanging around today.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39He's a bit of a flirty charmer too.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Guess where he's returning.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Don't see one of those every day.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50In amongst RAF tropical and British battle dress
0:15:50 > 0:15:54and Russian tunics...
0:15:54 > 0:15:56..Imperial Japan.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00This is an army officer's tunic in the Second World War.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Highly uncommon.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06These are collectable. This is history.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Make no bones about it.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09And the veterans...
0:16:09 > 0:16:12..our veterans that fought over there and were taken as prisoners of
0:16:12 > 0:16:15war were terribly, terribly treated.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16And felt...
0:16:17 > 0:16:22What can I say, difficult to find the words, passionately about it.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Many of them to their dying day.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28And that's what makes these things so powerful, is it not?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- This is real history. - Stirring stuff, eh?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Let's find Caroline to try and broker a deal.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Right, then.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40From upstairs, one Imperial Japanese tunic.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43And that's priced up at 130.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Is there a deal to be done on that?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Yes, we can do something on that.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49What's the something?
0:16:49 > 0:16:5180?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- Is that it?- Yeah.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55If that's 80,
0:16:55 > 0:16:59can our dominoes fob be then the 45 that I offered?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Go on, then.- We did it.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Thank you very much.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11And that frisky little deal comes to a total of £125
0:17:11 > 0:17:16for the 9-carat gold watch fob and the Japanese military tunic.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Those signal the end of shopping for today.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23It's tipping down again.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- What do you fancy for tea? - I've no idea.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- Are you going to join me for dinner? - Fish and chips, Margie!
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Plenty of salt and vinegar, nice.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Nighty night.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Good morning, sunshine.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Our antiques luvvies are up and at 'em.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Fixed the weather, Margie. This is...
0:17:46 > 0:17:49What a difference a day makes, I think is the expression.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Absolutely. Are you comfortable?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Do you know? I like being driven.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57And by you, Margie.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58- Driven well.- Driven crazy.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04- One more word and you walk. - Watch your step, Paul.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Let's remind ourselves of what our darlings have bought thus far.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Margie has two lots.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14The sweetheart brooches and the horseshoe stick pin.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Plus the cravat pin and agate pendant.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Can't go wrong with gold and you can't go wrong with silver.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Margie has £138.70 left.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Paul is buying his kind of thing this leg of the road trip.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32He has four lots.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34The 1941 ten franc note.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37The Holmegaard vase.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41The gold watch fob and the Japanese military tunic.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42He's been busy.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43We could be on a roll here.
0:18:44 > 0:18:50£268.40 is the sum total left in his wallet.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55You're fairly getting on my nerves, Margie.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57You sound like my husband!
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I was on the phone to him last night.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04We take great solace in one another's shared experience.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Hang on. Can I join that club?
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Next stop is County Durham, the town of Stockton-on-Tees, to be precise.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Enjoy your day.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I wish I could say I'm going to miss you,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21but frankly, looking at that...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Are you not going to miss me?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Of course I'm going to miss you. You have fun.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Just don't be buying any bargains.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28What are those? What bargains?
0:19:30 > 0:19:31All right, Margie.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Paul is getting the chance to indulge
0:19:34 > 0:19:36in two of his great loves now.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Collecting and militaria.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41He's come to Preston Park Museum to discover more about
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Colonel Gilbert Spence,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46a phenomenal collector of all things military.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48This is exciting.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Stand to.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Museum development manager John Bealey is going to make Paul's day.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59- Wow!- That's Colonel Spence's own personal dress uniform.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00So there's the man.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- He wore that.- So we are standing here with him, in a sense.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Oh, my word!
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Welcome to Paradise, Paul.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Spence was a shipyard owner in Stockton-on-Tees.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16It gave him the means and the wealth to buy anything he really fancied.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18And he fancied quite a lot.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20A wide variety of things
0:20:20 > 0:20:23but especially militaria, weapons, armour,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26but you name it, he bought it.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Spence became a Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army
0:20:30 > 0:20:33and soon found himself leading his battalion,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35the Fifth Durham Light Infantry,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37on the Western Front during World War I.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42They are shipped out to France in 1915.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44They didn't get long to acclimatise.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46They were only there a matter of days
0:20:46 > 0:20:49when the Germans launched the second Battle of Ypres,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52with gas for the first time in the First World War.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53And they were rushed to the front.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56And so they saw pretty terrible fighting right from the off.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59But throughout that time, he still collected,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02so he is still purchasing some of the objects
0:21:02 > 0:21:04while he's a serving officer.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- I think that shows...- The passion.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10And his addiction to collection.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12That I understand.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Remarkably, Colonel Spence was receiving Sotheby catalogues and
0:21:16 > 0:21:19ordering beautiful items to be delivered direct to his home.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22He was calm under fire, as men say.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25He was brave, he's been decorated.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28And sadly, in 1918,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31the Fifth DLI was just about annihilated and Spence was wounded.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33And his war was over.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Tragically, after surviving the First World War,
0:21:38 > 0:21:44Colonel Spence was killed in a road accident in 1925, aged just 46.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46He bequeathed everything to the museum.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Due to the sheer number of artefacts, it can't all be displayed.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Paul is getting an exclusive peek behind the scenes.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00There you go. There is a spectrum of material but I'll tell you what
0:22:00 > 0:22:02really, really catches my eye.
0:22:03 > 0:22:10I love the Fenton and Sons, dealers in arms and armour invoice.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Yeah.- So, there you have it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Bought off Fenton and Sons, Colonel GO Spence.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Dated September 1915.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22And what was he buying? My word!
0:22:22 > 0:22:24That's a big, long list.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Including, "powder flask formed of pearl shell,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31"engraved with silver enamelled rosettes, Persian, 18th century" -
0:22:31 > 0:22:34and there it is.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35There it is.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Yeah.- What a jewel.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Please, put some gloves on, because it is a precious jewel, as you say.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46An Indo Persian object.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50This is a martial piece, likely hunting, in all honesty.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Absolutely.- Sumptuous and fabulous object.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55And again, this is reflected...
0:22:55 > 0:22:57This is consistent through everything I see,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59he is buying the best.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00He does buy the best.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04I'm tempted to say, if this was all one owned,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08one could sit happily and say my work here is done.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09That's right.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13He's buying in a day what some people buy in a lifetime.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19The entire Spence collection is an invaluable source
0:23:19 > 0:23:22for British military history,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25highlighting one man's passion for the extraordinary and
0:23:25 > 0:23:28the role he and his comrades played in the Great War.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Meanwhile, our other warrior, Margie,
0:23:35 > 0:23:38is making her way to the North Yorkshire town of Redcar.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Can't really plan this trip.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45You just don't know what you're turning up to.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Be lovely to find something...
0:23:47 > 0:23:49I want something that excites me a bit.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52So here's hoping I do find that.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Well, I think she's talking about antiques.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Oh, fish and chips.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58Paul will be jealous.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02She's got a lot of catching up to do.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Let's see what she can find in here, at Redcar Antiques.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Good morning.- Good morning. Pleasure to meet you.- And you too.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10- You're James.- Yes, yes.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16With just under £140, she still has a bit of money to play with.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28That looks quite sweet, on top there.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30These little cold-painted pheasants,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32on an onyx base.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Painted after they've been cast.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I quite like them. I don't think it's terribly old.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Maybe mid-20th century.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Might ask the price because I think it's maybe quite a saleable thing.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47That's the name of the game, Margie.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Cold painting on bronze
0:24:48 > 0:24:51was a technique made popular during the decadence
0:24:51 > 0:24:52of the Art Deco period.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Oh, James?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I've got 60 on that but...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I think there's a bit of room there.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- A bit?- Yeah. I mean, we could do...
0:25:02 > 0:25:0340?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I'm never keen on onyx but...
0:25:06 > 0:25:07No. No, that's the only thing.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09It would be nicer on marble, wouldn't it?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Well, do 30, if you like.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Yeah. Resignation...
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Right, so 30 quid, yeah? - Yeah, we can do that for you.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- I think it gives you a fair shout. - It does, yeah. Thanks a lot.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Best of luck.- Thanks, James. - No problem.- I'll pay you. Do you want some money?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Now, the Margie technique is to have a good old moan and get
0:25:26 > 0:25:28the half-price deal.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Thank you, James.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Paul has arrived in the sunny climes of Bishop Auckland
0:25:32 > 0:25:33in County Durham.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36He is visiting Something Different.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40This family-run biz looks jam-packed with goodies.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Guess how much money he has.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Nearly £270.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48He's definitely got the big bucks.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I'm digging tatties.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02I'm getting my hands dirty here.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Well, then. What am I playing with?
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Lawn edging tiles.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10You've seen the type before in the formal gardens.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Let's have a wee look-see. We've got a variety of styles here.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15There is the most commonly encountered.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Yeah. Salt-glazed fireclay.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19And you bury these...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24..in your garden in lines to define your borders.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Keep the garden nice and tidy.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29I love them. And these have some age to them.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31All right, Percy Thrower.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35They're quite nice, actually.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Now, wither Margie?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Absolutely lovely here.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47Gosh. Just keep looking at the beautiful rolling countryside.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49It's lovely.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51And keep your eye on the road!
0:26:51 > 0:26:54She's eventually arrived at the wonderful Yorkshire town of Thirsk.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Watch out, Three Tons Antiques.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Here she comes.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02The pennies are dwindling, Margie.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04You've got less than £110 left.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12I like drums.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Are you musical, Margie?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16You've got to, haven't you?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17- Anybody listening?- Loud and clear.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18RATTLING THUD
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Oh, God, that didn't sound too good, did it?
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Nope.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Make it stop.- I like drums.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I wonder where that's come from, the local band?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32They make little tables, don't they?
0:27:32 > 0:27:37They look like little side tables, but they've got a glass top on.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39£150.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Out of my league.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43My poor ears!
0:27:50 > 0:27:51That's clever.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Tell us what you've found, Margie.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Compacts. A variety of compacts.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02Let's have a look at this one.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Paul did very well the other day with one.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Right, but this is a bit different, isn't it?
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Yes. What's she put on it?
0:28:11 > 0:28:15And it is a watch powder sifter.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18What is that?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Well, Margie, I'll tell you.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23This nifty little compact has a watch-like mechanism
0:28:23 > 0:28:26that delivers just the right amount of powder
0:28:26 > 0:28:29every time you want to freshen up your hooter.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Sadly, it doesn't tell the time, though.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36That's nice, £50, though.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37It's a lot.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40And it's not silver.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41It's quite nice. Quite like that.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43It's different.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Lovely. Now, let's zip back to Paul in Bishop Auckland.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Thistle, rose, shamrock.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Fantastic. Rather smart.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Now, we've got a few of them,
0:28:56 > 0:29:01we've got white and salt-glazed and they would make quite a striking
0:29:01 > 0:29:04border if we went for the chequerboard-type effect.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Just trying to work out how many of each we've got.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Well, they are priced at £2 apiece.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Make sure I've got my numbers right.
0:29:11 > 0:29:18Two, four, six, eight, ten, 12, 14, 16, 18, leave the dull ones.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Let's get dealer Yvonne in to see if we can strike a deal.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Yvonne, I've gone and sifted and sorted all the edging tiles.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Well done.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32And I've got ten of the white cabled, eight of the others...
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- OK.- 18, a couple of quid apiece?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- 36 quid?- Yeah, done.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37We are in business.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- Pleasure.- Pleasure, Paul.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42That was one swift deal, Paul.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47Nice work. Now, has Margie bought anything yet?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Ah, there's manager Victoria.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Victoria, stand by.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Isn't this a curiosity?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- Yes.- Have you ever seen one before?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58It's a watch powder compact.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00And it's priced up at £50.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02I wouldn't mind buying it but it's just...
0:30:02 > 0:30:06There's just no way, Jose.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- £30?- I just don't...
0:30:08 > 0:30:13I think, what it will fetch at auction in this particular situation
0:30:13 > 0:30:14would be 20 to 25.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16So what are you looking at, around about...?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I'm looking at 15.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Yeah, we can do it.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- Yeah. Are you happy to do that? - Yeah, I'll do it for 15.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23- Yeah. OK.- You can make some money on it.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- Well, I hope so.- Blimey, Margie.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27And thank you, Victoria.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31That drum keeps catching my eye.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Oh, don't play it again!
0:30:34 > 0:30:35But I think it's...
0:30:35 > 0:30:38I'm always pleading poverty.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- I know you are.- And remember, it's priced at £150.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46What sort of price are you looking at?
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Yeah. I was thinking...
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Yeah...
0:30:51 > 0:30:52- It's got to be...- Go on.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55I saw a bit of dust on it.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58You don't see any dust at all in this shop.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- Oops!- You're looking around 50 quid, aren't you?
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Oh, she's gritting her teeth.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Yes. I'll let you have it for 50.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13- You're fed up with me now, aren't you?- Yes.- Funny that.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15No, because I think I might have a chance.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17That's one heck of a deal.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21The drum and the watch powder compact bought for just £65.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Wow!
0:31:23 > 0:31:26You're not going to believe this, it's the end of the shopping
0:31:26 > 0:31:27for our road trippers.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29So, how far is Rotherham from here?
0:31:29 > 0:31:32If I knew where here was, I would tell you, Margie.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35And I'll buy you a nice big Rotherham fish supper.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37That Paul loves his food.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Enjoy your din dins.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Then some much-needed shuteye, you two.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47We are off to South Yorkshire and the town of Rotherham,
0:31:47 > 0:31:49the showdown for the next auction.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Very exciting.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56Today's matinee performance is being held at Paul Beighton auctioneers.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59It used to be a 1920s cinema, don't you know?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Taking you to the pictures, Margie.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Oh, another auction.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Margie has nearly exhausted her entire budget,
0:32:13 > 0:32:16spending £170 exactly on five lots.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Paul is doing his usual, keeping a stash in reserve.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24He's spent £202, also on five lots.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Spill the beans on each other's buys, please.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31Doesn't look very old, does it?
0:32:31 > 0:32:33It's not very old, is it?
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Absolutely not a clue.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Not a clue. But if Paul thinks it's worth £80,
0:32:43 > 0:32:46I would be very surprised if he gets his money back on this.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Very surprised indeed.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49It's charming. OK?
0:32:49 > 0:32:501950s...
0:32:51 > 0:32:54..cold-painted pheasants...
0:32:54 > 0:32:56..nicely modelled.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01Onyx base, for once, isn't all chipped and cracked.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06I'd love to be able to pick holes in this and, confound her, I cannot.
0:33:06 > 0:33:11But mind you, it's fragile this, and if somebody puts it down too hard...
0:33:11 > 0:33:12Avert your gaze.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16Behave yourself, Paul.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Jody Beighton is today's auctioneer.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Now, what are your thoughts on their offerings?
0:33:24 > 0:33:25The Holmegaard vase, I mean,
0:33:25 > 0:33:29that sort of a period item is really on trend now.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31So I think that'll do really well.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35The cold-painted pheasants, they are my favourite lot.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38If somebody brought that in to put into one of our antique sales,
0:33:38 > 0:33:40I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41I think they are a really good lot.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- Thanks, Jody.- It's definitely a picture house, isn't it?
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Yeah.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48The auction is about to begin.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Today, we're also open to internet bidders.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Margie!- It's not the back row, it's the front row.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Keep your hands to yourself, Paul.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09We begin with the Japanese military tunic.
0:34:09 > 0:34:14Did I introduce you to the Japanese Army Collectors Society?
0:34:14 > 0:34:15I phoned them up. They're at the back.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- They want to meet you. - It wouldn't surprise me.
