0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts...

0:00:04 > 0:00:06- What a job!- ..with £200 each...

0:00:06 > 0:00:09- Are you with me?- ..a classic car... - Buckle up.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12..and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:12 > 0:00:13- Oh, sorry!- Ha-ha!

0:00:13 > 0:00:16The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19But it's no mean feat.

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

0:00:20 > 0:00:22- Yes!- ..and valiant losers.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25So will it be the high road to glory

0:00:25 > 0:00:27or the slow road to disaster?

0:00:27 > 0:00:29Have a good trip!

0:00:29 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip!

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

0:00:37 > 0:00:41Hold on to your hats, it's leg two of an epic antiquing adventure

0:00:41 > 0:00:46with road trip regulars Raj Bisram and Catherine Southon.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49- BOTH:- It's BOOTIFUL!

0:00:51 > 0:00:54No prizes for guessing where you two are, then!

0:00:54 > 0:00:57- Yes, we're in Norfolk! - And it is! It is.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01The sun is shining today and we're in our little sunshine car.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05And what a car it is -

0:01:05 > 0:01:08a smashing little 1967 MGB GT.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14You're looking at me very funny. Have you got a plan?

0:01:14 > 0:01:16You've got that look.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18You've got the little Raj glint.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21That kind of little, "I know I'm going to get a bargain,"

0:01:21 > 0:01:24kind of glint, "I don't know about you."

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Not at all. Do you know, I always think I'm going to get a bargain,

0:01:27 > 0:01:29that's the problem. It's my downfall.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Hopefully it won't be today.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34From Catherine's original £200,

0:01:34 > 0:01:36she's increased her purse,

0:01:36 > 0:01:40so has £221.40 available to spend.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Raj's £200 pot has also risen,

0:01:44 > 0:01:48nudging him into the lead with £238.90.

0:01:50 > 0:01:55So there's a mere, a very mere £20 between us.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Starting off today, how are you feeling?

0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Fantastic!- Oh, Raj!

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Oh, you are a devil!

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Ain't he just!

0:02:07 > 0:02:09This roving Road Trip kicked off in Cambridge

0:02:09 > 0:02:12and carries on around East Anglia,

0:02:12 > 0:02:15then heads both north and west towards the Peak District,

0:02:15 > 0:02:17before taking us through the West Midlands

0:02:17 > 0:02:20to finish up over 600 miles later in Bristol. Wow.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26Today we'll begin in the fine city of Norwich in Norfolk

0:02:26 > 0:02:29and end at auction in Colchester in Essex.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35The good thing about Norfolk is it's one of those counties

0:02:35 > 0:02:37where there are still lots of antique shops.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Yes. There are, actually, aren't there?- Yeah!

0:02:41 > 0:02:43This morning our pair are splitting up and

0:02:43 > 0:02:47Raj is heading to the oldest historical street in Norwich

0:02:47 > 0:02:50to start his shopping at Elm Hill Collectables.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Sweet.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Hello there.- Hello, Raj. Hello.- Hello, and you are?- Paul.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Paul, lovely to meet you. So lots of bargains in here?

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Everything's a bargain. - Everything is a bargain.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04I can tell, I can tell I'm going to have trouble here!

0:03:09 > 0:03:12There's bits and pieces all over the place,

0:03:12 > 0:03:15and that's the kind of shop I really, really like.

0:03:19 > 0:03:20What a beautiful butterfly this is.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23It's called a Rajah Brooke.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25What a lovely name that is!

0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Paul...- Yes, Raj?

0:03:30 > 0:03:33I've had a little look round, you've got some lovely things,

0:03:33 > 0:03:36but I bet you've got something under the counter that's probably

0:03:36 > 0:03:39- just come in, haven't you? - Let me think.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41How about...?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47What do you think?

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- You can see the maker. - Yes, Georg Jensen.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Yes.- Fine maker.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Indeed.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59They've been producing eye-catching designs for more than 100 years.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Good quality. Bit of a designer thing, isn't it?

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Strange, isn't it, I mean, it does nothing for me, the style.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09- It's very unusual. Silver, I presume.- Yes, it's hallmarked.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11And the auction we're going to...

0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Yes.- ..is in Essex.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Right. They'll love that there.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Well, they could love it or they could really hate it.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22- I mean, it's not really my taste, I have to be honest.- No.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Or yours. You just want to get rid of it!- Yes, I do, yes.- OK.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Give me a clue as to what you want for it?

0:04:27 > 0:04:30- I think 75.- Oh, no.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33How about 50? And you'll double your money.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35No, I'm not sure about that.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Oh, I'm totally sure. - Can I think about it?

0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Have you got anything else? Have you got anything else?- Probably.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43What is that, Japanese, do you think?

0:04:43 > 0:04:44I think it is.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46A bit of 19th century papier mache.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Yes. Quite attractive, I thought. - Yes, it's quite attractive.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53That can be ever so reasonable. Essex would appreciate that.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56- How much could that be? - How about £10?

0:04:58 > 0:05:02How about, I don't want to hit you too hard,

0:05:02 > 0:05:05so how about the Georg Jensen ring and this for £50?

0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Deal?- Yeah.- Oh, I should have come in less!

0:05:08 > 0:05:11I should have come in less! That was much too quick.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Does that include the box? - Of course it includes the box!

0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Fantastic, I bought two things off you.- Nice.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Fantastic.- I hope you do well, Raj. - Thank you very much indeed, Paul.

0:05:20 > 0:05:21It's been an absolute pleasure.

0:05:21 > 0:05:26So Raj has secured the 1960s Georg Jensen ring for £40

0:05:26 > 0:05:30and the 19th century papier mache box for a tenner.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32A cracking start.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Back with Catherine and she's decided to start her day

0:05:40 > 0:05:43by soaking up a bit of culture in Norwich.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49Considered the modern-day capital of East Anglia,

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Catherine's come to hear about the region's most ferocious

0:05:52 > 0:05:55warrior queen, the legendary Boudicca.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58She's meeting an expert on the story,

0:05:58 > 0:06:02chief curator of Norwich Castle Museum, Dr John Davies.

0:06:02 > 0:06:07So John, we're going right back to the first century AD.

0:06:07 > 0:06:08Who was Boudicca?

0:06:08 > 0:06:12Boudicca is one of the most famous heroines from

0:06:12 > 0:06:15the whole of world history. She stood up to the great might

0:06:15 > 0:06:19of the Roman Empire, who were just undefeated at that time,

0:06:19 > 0:06:22and she very nearly ejected the might of the whole Romans

0:06:22 > 0:06:26- from this country.- What did she do then, where did it all begin?

0:06:26 > 0:06:29This was in the mid-1st century AD, around about AD 60.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Boudicca was queen of the Iceni tribe who were a rural community

0:06:32 > 0:06:35living in what is now Norfolk. Chieftain at the time,

0:06:35 > 0:06:39the king of the tribe of the Iceni, Prasutagus, died.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Boudicca was his wife, his queen,

0:06:41 > 0:06:45and she seceded to the leadership of the Iceni.

0:06:45 > 0:06:50And Prasutagus had tried to leave part of his estate to Boudicca

0:06:50 > 0:06:53and her daughters. The Romans were having none of that and

0:06:53 > 0:06:58so the episode that is so famous, when Boudicca's uprising occurred,

0:06:58 > 0:07:03essentially was in response to the Romans' very heavy-handed approach

0:07:03 > 0:07:08to clawing back the whole of Boudicca's estate for the Romans.

0:07:09 > 0:07:14The Roman soldiers were ordered to occupy Iceni, and Boudicca

0:07:14 > 0:07:17and her daughters were said to have been brutally attacked and flogged.

0:07:17 > 0:07:23These actions exacerbated widespread resentment for Roman rule,

0:07:23 > 0:07:27and while Roman governor Paulinus was leading a campaign

0:07:27 > 0:07:30in North Wales, the Iceni rebelled.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Members of other tribes soon followed,

0:07:33 > 0:07:35all led by the mighty Boudicca.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38Boudicca, the Queen of the Iceni tribe.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40But what was she really like?

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Well, she clearly was a very charismatic person.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47However accidental it was that she turned out to lead the tribe,

0:07:47 > 0:07:51certainly she was in a position where people respected her hugely

0:07:51 > 0:07:55and in the region of 120,000 people were prepared

0:07:55 > 0:07:57to lay down their lives to support her.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01People really wanted to back her and follow her and they thought that

0:08:01 > 0:08:04she was strong enough to indeed defeat the Romans

0:08:04 > 0:08:06and eject them from this country.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Boudicca and her warriors struck at symbols of the Roman occupation.

0:08:12 > 0:08:17The capital at Colchester was burned, as was London and St Albans.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20Boudicca's treatment of her enemies was fierce,

0:08:20 > 0:08:22sending shock waves through the Roman Empire.

0:08:22 > 0:08:27We know that the Roman army was in the region of about 10,000 soldiers.

0:08:27 > 0:08:33Compared with in the region of about 120,000 on the British side.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37The Iceni were just numbers, they were untrained.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Through physical strength of being outdoor people and farmers,

0:08:40 > 0:08:42that was in their favour.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45They had very strong adrenaline through wanting to defeat these

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Roman oppressors, but essentially they had no military skill,

0:08:48 > 0:08:51very few of them had actually ever fought in a battle before.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Their weaponry would have reflected the fact that they were farmers,

0:08:54 > 0:08:58they probably would have had sickles and scythes in a pitch battle

0:08:58 > 0:09:00facing each other, person-to-person,

0:09:00 > 0:09:02that there was only ever going to be one outcome -

0:09:02 > 0:09:04they stood no chance whatsoever.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07The Roman figures are something like 80,000 British died at that battle,

0:09:07 > 0:09:10compared with something like 400 Romans.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13I think there's an element of Roman propaganda there,

0:09:13 > 0:09:15but you can get the scale of the massacre.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Wow. That is incredible, isn't it? - Yes.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20The exact location of Boudicca's defeat is unknown.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23And although it's said she survived the battle,

0:09:23 > 0:09:27legend has it that she poisoned herself rather than face capture

0:09:27 > 0:09:31by the Romans. To this day, there are many myths

0:09:31 > 0:09:33surrounding Boudicca's final resting place.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36But one thing is sure, she had a special place in British history,

0:09:36 > 0:09:38remembered for her courage -

0:09:38 > 0:09:42the warrior queen who fought the might of Rome.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Meanwhile, the mighty Raj has left Norwich

0:09:54 > 0:09:56and is heading west towards Attleborough.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00As far as my tactics for this leg,

0:10:00 > 0:10:03I'm just going to go and see what I find.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06I'm always looking for something that's a little bit different,

0:10:06 > 0:10:09so fingers crossed that I can find it.

0:10:09 > 0:10:14If it's different you're after, Morways Reclamation should deliver.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18Not quite the quaint antiques emporiums Raj is used to,

0:10:18 > 0:10:21this yard is packed with some serious salvage.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24Thankfully owner John is on hand to help.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26I'm mostly into heavies, I'm afraid.

0:10:26 > 0:10:30You are? Well, look at me, I'm a wimp compared to you! You know.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32He is tall, isn't he?

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Wow, look at some of these beams you've got here.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Some of them are ancient.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41For example, John, something like this, what would that cost?

0:10:41 > 0:10:44Most of the stuff, which is just old timber buildings,

0:10:44 > 0:10:48- just a piece of wood like that probably 700 quid.- Gee-whiz!

0:10:48 > 0:10:51I think I'm probably looking for something a little bit

0:10:51 > 0:10:54- on the smaller side. - I thought you might be.- You know?

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Good luck with that!

0:10:56 > 0:10:58These ladders, though, they're interesting.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Are they old? They almost remind me of hop ladders.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02These are old painter's ladders.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Which are not small.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08- They would go well.- Something smaller.- Something smaller?

0:11:08 > 0:11:10It's all too big, isn't it?

0:11:10 > 0:11:13We're going down in size, it might take a while for us to get there!

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Ah-ha! Those stained glass windows look more your size, Raj.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21They're quite nice architectural things.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23- I've got loads of those. - What, these?

0:11:23 > 0:11:27Yes, those sort of things and they'd be quite... I mean, they're 1920s.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Pick it up so you can see through it.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33Very common, it's a very common Art Nouveau design.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36- It is. It jolly well is.- Yes.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40- So say six of those, have you got six of those?- Probably six, yes.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42I mean, if you want, 60 quid.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46I tell you what, because I've got to haggle a little bit, OK?

0:11:46 > 0:11:48What about £50 for six?

0:11:48 > 0:11:49- Yeah, go on, then.- Yeah?

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Shake hands. Thank you. Brilliant, fantastic.

0:11:52 > 0:11:57Deal done. Raj picks up his six stained glass windows.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59That's a nice one, isn't it?

0:11:59 > 0:12:02Then the search for small things continues.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05These are rather nice. How much would one...

0:12:05 > 0:12:08That one, that one and that one, those three together,

0:12:08 > 0:12:10- what would they cost me? - To be honest with you,

0:12:10 > 0:12:12you're going to be over 100 quid.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15- And what about those two?- You can have those two for 80 quid.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18Go on, hit me.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21I wouldn't want to pay more than £40 for those two.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23- What, 20 quid each?- Yeah.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27- That's tight, you know? - I tell you what,

0:12:27 > 0:12:30because I think you've done such a great job on the stained glass,

0:12:30 > 0:12:33what about, what about 50 quid for the two?

0:12:36 > 0:12:38- You've got a bargain.- Really?

0:12:38 > 0:12:39Because if you'd said no,

0:12:39 > 0:12:42I was going to say I'd arm-wrestle for you for one.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45- You would lose. - You think I don't know that!

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Lucky escape there, Raj.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52So that's the six stained glass windows

0:12:52 > 0:12:56and his 19th century brass door knockers for £100,

0:12:56 > 0:12:58and not a sore arm in sight.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05Playing catch up, Catherine has made her way to Wymondham, where she's

0:13:05 > 0:13:09arrived in this historic market town with over £220 in her pocket.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13And time to spend it at Market Cross Antiques.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15White trousers today.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Hello.- Hi, Catherine. - I'm Catherine.- Hi. Good to see you.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20- And you, I'm Gary.- Hi, Gary.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24This Grade II listed building has three showrooms

0:13:24 > 0:13:26packed with potential purchases.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33I need to be inspired.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Oh, poker work.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38It's like a little miniature dresser, but it's been...

0:13:38 > 0:13:41It's a poker work. So basically it's been done, so they get

0:13:41 > 0:13:45a hot poker and then they mark it, press it all into the wood.

0:13:45 > 0:13:46It's clever.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49But I just don't really like it.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51On we go.

0:13:54 > 0:13:55I like your ship's wheel.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Yes, sweet, isn't it? - Yeah, nice little thing.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Where are we going? - Anywhere you want to, Catherine!

0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Have you got your sou'wester? - I have! And my wellingtons!

0:14:03 > 0:14:05What does it say?

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Y...K Not.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Why not. Why not!- Yeah.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13- There you go.- What I like about this is it does have age.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15I mean, there's so many reproductions of these.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18I mean, you can find them anywhere.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20- And it's got that horrible darker wood.- OK.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23But this is how it should be.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25I mean, this is about 100 years old, I would say.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29It's got 95 on it, but it has got a big split through it.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32OK. How about 65?

0:14:34 > 0:14:36Hmmm.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39No, I don't think that would probably...

0:14:39 > 0:14:40Where are you at?

0:14:40 > 0:14:44I really wouldn't want to go much more than about 40 on it, honestly.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- OK.- Because of that break.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49But if you can't do it, then that's absolutely fine.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52No, I'll do 40. I will do 40.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54But I can't go a penny less.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56- You'll make money on that, Catherine.- I think I will.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59- I'm going to shake your hand. Thank you very much.- You're welcome.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Thank you.- Anchors aweigh, then!

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Catherine's made her first purchase!

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Which brings an end to a successful day of shopping.

0:15:10 > 0:15:14Norfolk also has something that I love, absolutely love,

0:15:14 > 0:15:18- which is crab. - Oh, yes, bit of a crab salad!

0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Is it Cromer, Cromer crab? - It is, absolutely.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24In fact, that's got me going. What shall we have tonight?

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Crab for two, methinks!

0:15:27 > 0:15:28Nighty-night!

0:15:34 > 0:15:37It's the next day and our experts are in high spirits.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42That's a lovely old tractor!

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Beautiful old tractor.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51So far Catherine's only bought one item -

0:15:51 > 0:15:52the mahogany ship's wheel -

0:15:52 > 0:15:57giving her £181.40 to spend.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Where are we going? - Anywhere you want to, Catherine. - Where do you fancy?

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Raj on the other hand has bought four lots -

0:16:02 > 0:16:05the 1960s Georg Jensen ring,

0:16:05 > 0:16:08the 19th century papier mache box,

0:16:08 > 0:16:11the set of six stained glass windows,

0:16:11 > 0:16:14and the two 19th-century brass knockers...

0:16:14 > 0:16:16I'd arm wrestle you for it.

0:16:16 > 0:16:17You would lose.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20..leaving him £88.90.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Don't you go enjoying yourself too much today.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25- I'm going to spend it all. - Oh, that's what I like to hear.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27My intention is to spend it all.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Good. You're going to take some risks this time.

0:16:30 > 0:16:31What do you mean this time?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I took some risks last time.

0:16:33 > 0:16:34- Rubbish!- I did.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Your idea of risk is very different from mine.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Come on, Raj, play the game.

0:16:39 > 0:16:40Play the game.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45Well, it really will be dog eat dog today, as they'll both start their

0:16:45 > 0:16:48shopping in Tottenhill near King's Lynn.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50- I forgot we're going together this morning.- We are.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52- Yes.- Shopping together. - Yeah, so a little bit

0:16:52 > 0:16:55of competition. Let's hope we don't spot the same thing.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58I think you buy very differently from me, actually.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01I'll be honest, I don't really know what I buy.

0:17:01 > 0:17:02- No.- I have no...

0:17:02 > 0:17:05I never, ever go in with the intention of buying anything.

0:17:05 > 0:17:06If I see something and my...

0:17:08 > 0:17:11- ..gut instinct is there's a profit in that, I will buy it.- Yeah.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13That's kind of how I work really.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21First stop of the day, Tottenhill, and the antiques emporium.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23OK, as I'm here...

0:17:24 > 0:17:25Such a gent. Ready?

0:17:25 > 0:17:26- Yeah.- OK.- Let's go.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30An ex-car showroom,

0:17:30 > 0:17:34there's 30 dealers' wares spread across 8,000 square feet.

0:17:34 > 0:17:35Let the fun begin.

0:17:39 > 0:17:40Wow!

0:17:40 > 0:17:42That is impressive.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Hello, Catherine.- Hello.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58You look like you're doing something wrong.

0:17:58 > 0:18:02I'm not. I've just found something that you would absolutely love.

0:18:02 > 0:18:03- You would kill for.- Really?

0:18:03 > 0:18:06What do you love doing in your spare time?

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Apart from annoying me.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Well, my big hobby is skiing, of course.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Oh, you found something ski...

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Can I just say, if you see it, you're not having it,

0:18:15 > 0:18:16cos I found it. Look at that.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Little downhill...- Oh, lovely.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- A little skier, isn't that fantastic?- Oh, that's gorgeous.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Well, it's not for you, Raj.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26- I've told you.- OK.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28It's always the way, isn't it?

0:18:28 > 0:18:30You always want what you can't have.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31Oh, she's a minx!

0:18:33 > 0:18:36What do I like about this?

0:18:36 > 0:18:37Well...

0:18:38 > 0:18:40..best of all...

0:18:41 > 0:18:43..I like this object.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Maybe mid-20th century, maybe slightly earlier.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49It's quite nice, it's quite a good novelty item.

0:18:49 > 0:18:54The thing is, it's really quite dirty,

0:18:54 > 0:18:57so you can't actually make out his face particularly well.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59He's got a cute bottom though.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01By George!

0:19:01 > 0:19:06With a ticket of £22, can saucy Southon do a deal with Kingsley?

0:19:06 > 0:19:09I quite like it. As I'm turning it round, actually, I'm noticing

0:19:09 > 0:19:12there is a bit of damage there - one of his poles is a bit bent.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14And you can't see his face very well but I think

0:19:14 > 0:19:17he's probably quite well done, it's just you can't...

0:19:17 > 0:19:19- He's filthy dirty.- Yeah.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Can anything be done on that?

0:19:21 > 0:19:25Yeah, there's usually 10% off ticket price, but since it's you,

0:19:25 > 0:19:28- it will be 14.- 14? - Is that OK?

0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Yeah.- Give you a chance of a profit. - Yeah. That's wonderful.

0:19:32 > 0:19:33Thank you. I'll take that at 14.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36Jolly good first deal of the day.

0:19:36 > 0:19:37Worth a toot, I'd say.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39HORN TOOTS TUNELESSLY

0:19:39 > 0:19:41I'm pretty good at that!

0:19:41 > 0:19:43You're not!

0:19:43 > 0:19:44I might have a career.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48I don't think so. If I may interrupt, OK...

0:19:48 > 0:19:51- You have a go. - I don't know what that noise was,

0:19:51 > 0:19:53but three pigeons have just dropped out of the sky.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56Right, if I wipe this, you have a go.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Go on. You do it better.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Sammy, play it again!

0:20:00 > 0:20:01Come on.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03I'll get a little bit of a...

0:20:03 > 0:20:06HE ALMOST PLAYS A TUNE

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Sorry.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13All right, balloon lungs,

0:20:13 > 0:20:15back to buying.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23Chinese things at the moment are really, really collectable

0:20:23 > 0:20:27and these are two really lovely watercolours.

0:20:27 > 0:20:32They're Chinese, they are signed, and these are beautifully done.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35They'd make a nice lot, the two of these.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38I'm going to call Jane and see what she can do them for.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42With a combined ticket price of £96 for the two, Jane, you're up.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47I think my best, Raj, would be 70.

0:20:47 > 0:20:4970...

0:20:49 > 0:20:51What about if I said 60?

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Seeing as it's you, yes.

0:20:55 > 0:20:56Yes? Are you sure?

0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Yes.- Shake hands.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00- £60. Fantastic.- OK.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Fantastic. I really like them.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06The two 19th century watercolours bought, and Raj is spent.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11Now, what have you got there, Catherine?

0:21:11 > 0:21:15So this is something completely different, but I like this.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18It's probably for your taters,

0:21:18 > 0:21:22because of these little nodules on the end here...

0:21:22 > 0:21:25They're so you won't pierce your potatoes

0:21:25 > 0:21:27when you're digging them up.

0:21:27 > 0:21:31The ticket says £28. Kingsley?

0:21:31 > 0:21:32So, what would you do on that?

0:21:32 > 0:21:35- What would be the best price? - That only came in yesterday.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Did it?- And he's got 28... - And it could fly out, I'm sure.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41- So probably about 15. - You wouldn't do ten on that?

0:21:41 > 0:21:42Yeah, for you I would. Yeah.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Ten. Yeah, that could be a goer at ten.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48OK. That's an idea but I've just seen something else.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50- I am cooking on gas.- OK. - Can we have another look over here?

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Fantastic.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55What have you spied then?

0:21:55 > 0:21:56A bit of Arts and Crafts.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03Arts and Crafts, copper, hand-beaten...

0:22:03 > 0:22:06What I like is the big image of the dragon, or the griffin.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09It would be lovely if it had some initials on the back...

0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Yeah.- ..of one of the top makers,

0:22:11 > 0:22:14but I can see it's not that sort of quality.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16But it's sort of turn-of-the-century,

0:22:16 > 0:22:20it's quite well-defined. Nice image. What's on it?

0:22:20 > 0:22:22- 45.- 45.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Is there a lot of movement in that?

0:22:24 > 0:22:27There could be. Probably 25.

0:22:27 > 0:22:2925, yeah...

0:22:29 > 0:22:31And then, what did we say on the fork?

0:22:31 > 0:22:33- Ten.- Ten.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Could that be 20 as well, I could have them both at 30?

0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Yeah, go on. Yeah. Fine.- You're a good man.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Right, thank you.- We're done.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46I make that three items bought for £44.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Spiffing shopping, Southon.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57Staying in Norfolk, Raj has made his way to Swaffham,

0:22:57 > 0:23:01a quaint market town that has an unlikely connection

0:23:01 > 0:23:03to the Valley of Kings in Egypt.

0:23:03 > 0:23:08Raj has come to Swaffham Museum to meet volunteer manager Sue Gattuso...

0:23:08 > 0:23:12- Hello there.- ..to learn about the town's most famous resident,

0:23:12 > 0:23:17the man who discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun, Howard Carter.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19- Let's go in.- After you.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24An enigmatic artist and archaeologist,

0:23:24 > 0:23:28Howard Carter shocked the world when he discovered the prized tomb

0:23:28 > 0:23:31of Tutankhamun in 1922,

0:23:31 > 0:23:35but the story starts here in this Norfolk market town.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38His family was a Swaffham family.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40His father was Samuel John Carter,

0:23:40 > 0:23:44who was a well-known animal portrait painter in the Victorian times,

0:23:44 > 0:23:47and he married Martha Joyce, who was also from Swaffham.

0:23:47 > 0:23:52Her father was a builder. And Howard was one of ten children.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54He was the youngest of their ten children.

0:23:54 > 0:23:58His father made sure that all of his children could draw and paint

0:23:58 > 0:24:01because he insisted that they'd all be able to earn their living.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03And when he was 15, Howard decided that he wanted to be

0:24:03 > 0:24:07an artist, just like his father, and paint portraits.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09And so he served really an apprenticeship,

0:24:09 > 0:24:12he went around with his father to the gentry houses.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14And one of those was Didlington Hall, and met

0:24:14 > 0:24:19Lord and Lady Amherst, who had one of the biggest Egyptian collections.

0:24:19 > 0:24:24- So I presume that's where his first passion for Egyptology actually started.- Yes, exactly.

0:24:24 > 0:24:28Carter's love for Egyptology was ignited,

0:24:28 > 0:24:31and in 1891, aged just 17,

0:24:31 > 0:24:34he headed to Egypt where he worked for 16 years

0:24:34 > 0:24:38before meeting wealthy English aristocrat Lord Caernarfon.

0:24:39 > 0:24:44And in what year did he actually meet Lord Caernarfon?

0:24:44 > 0:24:46He met him in 1907.

0:24:46 > 0:24:50When Lord Caernarfon was in Egypt, interested in Egyptian antiquities,

0:24:50 > 0:24:53and somebody suggested to him, you need Howard Carter,

0:24:53 > 0:24:56and so that's how the two of them met.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59- So this was a big turning point in Carter's life.- Absolutely.

0:24:59 > 0:25:03Howard always had this dream of finding the tomb of Tutankhamun,

0:25:03 > 0:25:05which everybody said never existed,

0:25:05 > 0:25:07but they kept finding little bits and pieces,

0:25:07 > 0:25:11and so Howard began to put the jigsaw together.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13A lot of the archaeologists thought that there was nothing left in

0:25:13 > 0:25:16the Valley of the Kings, and they had to have licences to dig.

0:25:16 > 0:25:22And in 1914, the license to dig in the Valley of the Kings came up

0:25:22 > 0:25:25for sale and Howard persuaded Caernarfon to buy that licence.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27Then came the First World War,

0:25:27 > 0:25:29and they had to stop digging then,

0:25:29 > 0:25:32and they didn't start again until 1917.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36And they'd dug for five or six seasons and then Caernarfon said,

0:25:36 > 0:25:39"No, I can't do any more. There's obviously nothing here.

0:25:39 > 0:25:40"Let's give up."

0:25:40 > 0:25:44And Howard persuaded him to just do one more dig,

0:25:44 > 0:25:46and that's where the story starts.

0:25:48 > 0:25:53The 26th of November 1922 was, in Carter's own words,

0:25:53 > 0:25:56"The day of days, the most wonderful I've ever lived through

0:25:56 > 0:26:01"and certainly one whose like I can never hope to see again."

0:26:01 > 0:26:05He had found the tomb of Tutankhamun.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09So, Sue, you're Howard Carter, I'm Lord Caernarfon.

0:26:09 > 0:26:13We're outside the tomb, tell me what happened.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16They came down a long corridor and they came to this door,

0:26:16 > 0:26:19which was sealed, which meant that nobody had been there before

0:26:19 > 0:26:24in those thousands of years. Carter made a small incision in the door,

0:26:24 > 0:26:27just enough so that he could get a candle through.

0:26:27 > 0:26:31And Caernarfon stood behind and he said, "What can you see? What can you see?"

0:26:31 > 0:26:34Carter just said, "Wonderful things,"

0:26:34 > 0:26:37because everything he saw was just covered in gold.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Wow! Amazing!

0:26:40 > 0:26:44Having lain undiscovered for over 3,000 years,

0:26:44 > 0:26:48it was by far the best preserved royal tomb ever found

0:26:48 > 0:26:52and sparked a global frenzy for Ancient Egypt.

0:26:52 > 0:26:56Carter spent the next ten years excavating the tomb's treasures.

0:26:56 > 0:27:00Sadly, Lord Caernarfon never lived long enough to witness one of

0:27:00 > 0:27:05the greatest moments, the opening of Tutankhamun's sarcophagus.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09And inside, there were three coffins, one inside of the other,

0:27:09 > 0:27:13like Russian dolls. And the third one, the inner coffin,

0:27:13 > 0:27:15- was made of pure gold.- Wow!

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Encrusted with jewels and so forth.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21It wasn't until late 1925 that he actually came face-to-face

0:27:21 > 0:27:24with Tutankhamun.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27Howard Carter's discovery made him one of the world's

0:27:27 > 0:27:31most famous archaeologists, and without his first brush

0:27:31 > 0:27:36with Egyptian artefacts here in Swaffham, the boy king, Tutankhamun,

0:27:36 > 0:27:39could have remained hidden to this very day.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Back with Catherine,

0:27:43 > 0:27:46and she's made her way to Long Sutton in Lincolnshire.

0:27:47 > 0:27:51This pretty little market town was allegedly once home

0:27:51 > 0:27:54to notorious highwayman Dick Turpin.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56Better watch out for your purse, Catherine!

0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Good afternoon.- Hello, how are you?

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Oh! Your little doggie pricked his ears up then.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03- I'm Catherine. - Hello, nice to see you.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06- I'm Catherine too.- Oh, very good.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09With two floors filled with antiques and collectables,

0:28:09 > 0:28:13Catherine is on the prowl for something to shoot her into the lead.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Starting cannon.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19A-ha! So, this is steel-lined.

0:28:19 > 0:28:23So he's saying it's like for starting a yacht race or something like that.

0:28:23 > 0:28:28So you'd put the match in there and then it would fire from here.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30The thing is, the carriage looks a very,

0:28:30 > 0:28:33very different colour to the actual barrel.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36It sits quite well, but...

0:28:37 > 0:28:39I think it's a marriage.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42I think the carriage is a marriage.

0:28:43 > 0:28:45And probably therefore not for us.

0:28:50 > 0:28:54I spy with my little eye a few little sewing accessories.

0:28:54 > 0:28:55Now, I like this.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59So this is boxwood, I would say...

0:28:59 > 0:29:03Some other wood, maybe not boxwood, maybe...well, fruit wood, probably.

0:29:03 > 0:29:07But it's a little tape measure in the form of a fishing reel,

0:29:07 > 0:29:08which is rather sweet.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10But it has got a break in it here.

0:29:10 > 0:29:12You see? It's got a bit of damage.

0:29:12 > 0:29:16But sewing accessories can be quite desirable.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19There's a couple of other bits in here as well.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22Two little pin cushions. One in the form of a swan.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24Tiny little thing.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26And another one in the form of a doggy.

0:29:26 > 0:29:30My thought, maybe put them together in a little group lot.

0:29:30 > 0:29:3230, £40, something like that.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34That's probably what I want to spend.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37But each one has got quite a price on it.

0:29:38 > 0:29:41Let's hope your namesake is feeling generous then.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43This is what caught my eye. I thought that was quite sweet.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46- It is cute.- A tape measure in the form of a fishing reel,

0:29:46 > 0:29:49but I don't know if you are aware that there is a break here.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51- Can you see there?- Oh, yes.

0:29:51 > 0:29:53- I hadn't noticed it. - There's a break there.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57So, that will affect the value.

0:29:57 > 0:30:01- Yes.- The other couple of little things I saw was the doggy,

0:30:01 > 0:30:04pin cushion, but again, I think it's just cast metal, isn't he?

0:30:04 > 0:30:06- No precious metal. - There's no marks on it.

0:30:06 > 0:30:08And then this one.

0:30:08 > 0:30:09And that's silver, is it?

0:30:09 > 0:30:11Well, I think it's got a silver mark on it,

0:30:11 > 0:30:14- but it might not be English...- It's not English, so it's probably...

0:30:14 > 0:30:17There's a little bit of age to the pin cushion

0:30:17 > 0:30:19but I don't think it's terribly old.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24The combined ticket price for the three is a whopping £118.

0:30:26 > 0:30:30In my mind, I would like to buy them at around £30...

0:30:30 > 0:30:31for the group.

0:30:34 > 0:30:35I can't go that far.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37- No?- I can't, no.

0:30:37 > 0:30:41I don't really want to do much more than say 35, honestly.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43Go 40 and I'll do it.

0:30:45 > 0:30:49- Right, lovely.- OK?- Thank you. No, I appreciate that.

0:30:49 > 0:30:54That final delightful deal means our experts' classic car's boot

0:30:54 > 0:30:56is full-up with items for auction.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02Well, the auction that we're going to is in Colchester.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05- Yes.- Which is in Essex. - That's where I went to uni.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07- Oh, is it?- I spent four years of my life there.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10- Really?- I did indeed. - Oh, so you know it well.

0:31:10 > 0:31:11Party town, Raj!

0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Oh, good.- Party town!

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Good, I can't wait to get there.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18Well, don't party too hard.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20You've got an auction to face in the morning.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22Send in the sandman.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29After starting in Norwich, our experts have zipped

0:31:29 > 0:31:31around the East of England and are now off to auction

0:31:31 > 0:31:33in Catherine's old stomping ground.

0:31:34 > 0:31:38Britain's oldest recorded town, and former capital of England,

0:31:38 > 0:31:44Colchester is home to a heritage stretching back over 2,000 years.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47Today's auction is being hosted by Reeman Dansie.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51- Auction two. - Hardly anything in it.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53Anything could happen today.

0:31:53 > 0:31:54Indeed.

0:31:56 > 0:32:01On this leg, Catherine bought five lots for auction, spending £124...

0:32:02 > 0:32:05..while Raj promised to spend big and he did,

0:32:05 > 0:32:08buying five lots for £210.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10So, what do they think of each other's bounty?

0:32:11 > 0:32:14I really, really like this.

0:32:14 > 0:32:18This is a beautiful little skier. It's got some damage to it,

0:32:18 > 0:32:22and I don't think that the base is original to the actual skier,

0:32:22 > 0:32:23but it is silver.

0:32:23 > 0:32:27I don't normally say this cos everything I buy, I would never swap, but

0:32:27 > 0:32:31this is the first thing that I've seen that I would actually swap.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34You could have anything that I bought for this cos I love it.

0:32:34 > 0:32:35If this does well,

0:32:35 > 0:32:38it's going to be all downhill from here on in for me.

0:32:38 > 0:32:42Not too happy with Raj buying this piece of Jensen.

0:32:42 > 0:32:46Jensen is probably one of my favourite designers of jewellery.

0:32:46 > 0:32:50What I like about this is it's classic, it's classy.

0:32:50 > 0:32:51Really, it's timeless.

0:32:53 > 0:32:57The man wielding the gavel today is Lewis Rabett,

0:32:57 > 0:33:00so what does he make of our experts' items?

0:33:00 > 0:33:03The copper tray is a nice piece of Arts and Crafts metalwork.

0:33:03 > 0:33:05It's nice with the decoration on it as well,

0:33:05 > 0:33:08of the dragon or the griffin. I think if it had a name on it

0:33:08 > 0:33:10it would potentially sell a bit better but as it is,

0:33:10 > 0:33:13it's still a very nice little item and we get plenty of collectors

0:33:13 > 0:33:15for that kind of thing, so it should sell well.

0:33:15 > 0:33:19The papier mache box is quite nice. Probably it's a little table snuff.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22But it's a nice little item that someone would have in their sort of

0:33:22 > 0:33:24curiosity cabinet. You know, it's in good order,

0:33:24 > 0:33:26cos papier mache is quite fragile.

0:33:26 > 0:33:30With buyers online and in the room, let's get things started.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36- Ready?- As ready as I'll ever be.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39First up, Raj's papier mache box.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43£30 for it. 30, £30?

0:33:43 > 0:33:4530 is bid with Ian.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48- Maiden bid then with Ian. - You're in profit.

0:33:48 > 0:33:5134. At £34, back with Ian.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54At 34. 36. 38.

0:33:54 > 0:33:56At 38. 40 in the room now.

0:33:56 > 0:33:57- 42.- Well done.

0:33:57 > 0:34:0044. At £44 at the back of the room then.

0:34:00 > 0:34:0346. 48.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05At 48 then in the room, gentleman's bid,

0:34:05 > 0:34:08and I'm going to sell, all done at 48.

0:34:08 > 0:34:11I love you - "Nobody wants these sorts of things."

0:34:11 > 0:34:13"Oh, yeah, I quite like it now."

0:34:13 > 0:34:15Well, I didn't make 50.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18No, but it did make you rather an impressive profit.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22Well done, my friend.

0:34:22 > 0:34:24That high five needs some work.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Right, vintage potato fork, anyone?

0:34:27 > 0:34:29£20 somewhere to start me for it.

0:34:29 > 0:34:3020? 20 is bid with David.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32- Straight in, you've done well. - 22 online.

0:34:32 > 0:34:34At £22 then on the internet.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36At £22 only online.

0:34:36 > 0:34:40- Yay! I'm delighted with that. - At 22 then, on the internet,

0:34:40 > 0:34:41I'm going to sell.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Yay!- All done? At 22.

0:34:44 > 0:34:45- That's good, that is. - That's very good.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47You should be pleased with that.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49So, it's a profit apiece.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51Smashing start.

0:34:51 > 0:34:52I think that was quite jammy.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55No, it was potatoes.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58It had nothing to do with jam. Sorry.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00So you should be, old boy.

0:35:00 > 0:35:04Right, your 19th-century watercolours are up next. Stand by.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07The thing is with these watercolours,

0:35:07 > 0:35:11I find sometimes they can totally fly.

0:35:11 > 0:35:12And I have £30 with me now.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14At £30 only now.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16Anywhere else? At £30.

0:35:16 > 0:35:1832. 34.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20- Good.- At 34, 36, 38.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22At 38.

0:35:22 > 0:35:2340. 42.

0:35:23 > 0:35:26At 42. 44.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28At £44, 46.

0:35:28 > 0:35:29- Yeah.- At 46. 48.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31- Good.- At £48, I'm out.

0:35:31 > 0:35:34- Oh, no.- £48 then, on my right at 48...

0:35:34 > 0:35:37All done, at £48.

0:35:37 > 0:35:40I'm sorry about that cos I think they... I quite rate them.

0:35:40 > 0:35:42I think that's cheap.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44Oh, well.

0:35:44 > 0:35:48Ah, didn't quite fly like they expected. Hard luck.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50That was a fishy lot.

0:35:50 > 0:35:51Oh, please!

0:35:51 > 0:35:54Remind me to buy you a new joke book, Raj.

0:35:54 > 0:35:58Now the turn of Catherine's ship's wheel.

0:35:58 > 0:35:59Hard a-starboard.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01- At £50 with me only. Five anywhere?- That's fine.

0:36:01 > 0:36:04There you go, straight in.

0:36:04 > 0:36:0760 with me then. 65. 70.

0:36:07 > 0:36:10- It's good.- £70 then, with me at 70.

0:36:10 > 0:36:11All done? I'm going to sell then.

0:36:11 > 0:36:14- I'm happy with that.- £70.

0:36:14 > 0:36:16- Good man.- Another profit.

0:36:16 > 0:36:17Yeah, yeah.

0:36:17 > 0:36:21Clearly Catherine knows what the Colchester crowd are after.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23You're doing very well today, Catherine.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26The thing is, if it's happening for me, you haven't even done yours

0:36:26 > 0:36:28properly yet, so you know, you could be sailing away.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31I wouldn't speak too soon.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34His two brass knockers are up next.

0:36:34 > 0:36:35£20 for them. 20?

0:36:35 > 0:36:36You hovering online? You're tempted.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38£20 for them. 20?

0:36:38 > 0:36:41- They're worth that.- Bid in the room. At £20 only now then.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44Two anywhere else? At £20 in the room.

0:36:44 > 0:36:45- Yes, yes, yes.- At 22.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47He likes his knockers!

0:36:47 > 0:36:50At 24. 26. At £26 then.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53- Gentleman's bid on the front row. - It's not enough.- Come on.- More.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56I will sell, make no mistake. At £26.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59- Another loss.- Yours, sir, 492.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02Oh, dear. That silence says it all.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05It's not Raj's day.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07But can Catherine's luck continue

0:37:07 > 0:37:10with her Arts and Crafts copper tray?

0:37:10 > 0:37:14If it makes something... 30, 40, I'll be very pleased.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17- It should make 30.- In fact, I'll run round and just, "Yay!"

0:37:17 > 0:37:21- Really, promise?- And I can start straight in on commission at £30.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23- There you go.- Ooh!- 32.

0:37:23 > 0:37:24- 34.- Oh, lovely.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27Get your running shoes on. Oh, my goodness.

0:37:27 > 0:37:2840. 42.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Get to 50.- 44, 46. - Come on.- 48.

0:37:31 > 0:37:3255 with me?

0:37:32 > 0:37:34No. At £55 then on commission.

0:37:34 > 0:37:37- 60 anywhere else?- I'm going to hold you to this, Catherine.

0:37:37 > 0:37:38I'm quite pleased with that.

0:37:38 > 0:37:40On commission at 55, and I'm going to sell.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42All done now then, at 55.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45- Away you go.- Right, I'm off.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47See you in a minute.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50Catherine is running rings around Raj today.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54- Wow. I'm pleased with that. - That was quick.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59Right, Raj, can you redeem yourself with your George Jenson ring?

0:37:59 > 0:38:02£80 with me only.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04- Come on, 120. - At £80 on commission now.

0:38:04 > 0:38:0685 if you're coming in online.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09- Come on.- 80 with me. Five anywhere else?

0:38:09 > 0:38:11I will sell. Maiden bid, then, with me.

0:38:11 > 0:38:13All done, at 85 online.

0:38:13 > 0:38:15- Yes.- At £85 on the internet.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17Takes out my commission.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19At £85 then online.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21- Come on, it's worth more than that. - It is.- It is worth more than that.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24I'm going to sell. All done at 85.

0:38:25 > 0:38:28- That's OK.- Are you all right? - Yeah, I'm absolutely fine, yeah.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30A little bit disappointing.

0:38:30 > 0:38:34Should have done better, but it's a good profit nevertheless.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37Not quite helped me catch up but it's good enough.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39- A profit is a profit. - Yeah, we can't complain.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44Let's see how Catherine's Victorian sewing accessories will fare.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48And I have 40 bid on commission.

0:38:48 > 0:38:49At £40 now. Two anywhere else?

0:38:49 > 0:38:52- That's what I paid. - At £40 on commission.

0:38:52 > 0:38:5442. 44. At £44.

0:38:54 > 0:38:5546, if you like.

0:38:55 > 0:38:5746. I have 50 with me.

0:38:57 > 0:39:00- At £50. - That's just about a little...

0:39:00 > 0:39:0255, if you like online? 55.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05At £55 on the internet now, 60 in the second row.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08- She's my friend. - At 60 in the second row.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10Five if you're coming back in online.

0:39:10 > 0:39:1265. 70.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14At £70 then, in the second row at 70.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17Five if you like. At £70 in the second row.

0:39:17 > 0:39:1975 online.

0:39:19 > 0:39:2280. At £80 then.

0:39:22 > 0:39:24- This is good.- On the internet at 80.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26Coming back in. 85.

0:39:26 > 0:39:2790.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30At £90 now. 95. At 95.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33100. At £100 then in the second row.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36You're done on the internet. At 100, then, in the second row.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39- I'm really surprised. - All done at £100.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43- That's good. - Yes, good for you, yeah.

0:39:43 > 0:39:45- Very happy.- Are you pleased?

0:39:45 > 0:39:48Of course, I'm ecstatic for you, Catherine.

0:39:48 > 0:39:49Yeah, you look it.

0:39:49 > 0:39:51Well done, that girl.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54Well, I think you've done brilliantly so far.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56I might just go actually.

0:39:57 > 0:40:01Don't leave yet. Here comes Raj's final lot,

0:40:01 > 0:40:03his six stained glass windows.

0:42:24 > 0:42:28making a whopping £168.74,

0:42:28 > 0:42:34which means she hurtles into the lead with an amazing £390.14

0:42:34 > 0:42:37to spend on the next leg. Well done, girl!

0:42:37 > 0:42:39Well, that was interesting.

0:42:50 > 0:42:53Next time on the Antiques Road Trip...

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Watch out, Ipswich!

0:42:55 > 0:42:56I don't know what Ipswich is like.

0:43:06 > 0:43:08It's back to the past for Raj...

0:43:08 > 0:43:10This is me 30 years ago.

0:43:10 > 0:43:14..and our expert duo have a porcine distraction.

0:43:14 > 0:43:17- Oh, little piggies.- I think they've spotted us, Catherine.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19- Come on, let's go.- They know what we had for breakfast.- I think they do!
