It's the nation's favourite antiques experts...

0:00:020:00:04

-What a job!

-..with £200 each...

0:00:040:00:06

-Are you with me?

-..a classic car...

-Buckle up.

0:00:060:00:09

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

0:00:090:00:12

-Oh, sorry!

-Ha-ha!

0:00:120:00:13

The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.

0:00:130:00:16

But it's no mean feat.

0:00:160:00:19

There'll be worthy winners...

0:00:190:00:20

-Yes!

-..and valiant losers.

0:00:200:00:22

So will it be the high road to glory

0:00:220:00:25

or the slow road to disaster?

0:00:250:00:27

Have a good trip!

0:00:270:00:29

This is the Antiques Road Trip!

0:00:290:00:32

Yeah!

0:00:330:00:35

Hold on to your hats, it's leg two of an epic antiquing adventure

0:00:370:00:41

with road trip regulars Raj Bisram and Catherine Southon.

0:00:410:00:46

-BOTH:

-It's BOOTIFUL!

0:00:470:00:49

No prizes for guessing where you two are, then!

0:00:510:00:54

-Yes, we're in Norfolk!

-And it is! It is.

0:00:540:00:57

The sun is shining today and we're in our little sunshine car.

0:00:570:01:01

And what a car it is -

0:01:030:01:05

a smashing little 1967 MGB GT.

0:01:050:01:08

You're looking at me very funny. Have you got a plan?

0:01:100:01:14

You've got that look.

0:01:140:01:16

You've got the little Raj glint.

0:01:160:01:18

That kind of little, "I know I'm going to get a bargain,"

0:01:180:01:21

kind of glint, "I don't know about you."

0:01:210:01:24

Not at all. Do you know, I always think I'm going to get a bargain,

0:01:240:01:27

that's the problem. It's my downfall.

0:01:270:01:29

Hopefully it won't be today.

0:01:290:01:32

From Catherine's original £200,

0:01:320:01:34

she's increased her purse,

0:01:340:01:36

so has £221.40 available to spend.

0:01:360:01:40

Raj's £200 pot has also risen,

0:01:410:01:44

nudging him into the lead with £238.90.

0:01:440:01:48

So there's a mere, a very mere £20 between us.

0:01:500:01:55

Starting off today, how are you feeling?

0:01:550:01:58

-Fantastic!

-Oh, Raj!

0:01:580:02:01

Oh, you are a devil!

0:02:010:02:03

Ain't he just!

0:02:040:02:06

This roving Road Trip kicked off in Cambridge

0:02:070:02:09

and carries on around East Anglia,

0:02:090:02:12

then heads both north and west towards the Peak District,

0:02:120:02:15

before taking us through the West Midlands

0:02:150:02:17

to finish up over 600 miles later in Bristol. Wow.

0:02:170:02:20

Today we'll begin in the fine city of Norwich in Norfolk

0:02:220:02:26

and end at auction in Colchester in Essex.

0:02:260:02:29

The good thing about Norfolk is it's one of those counties

0:02:320:02:35

where there are still lots of antique shops.

0:02:350:02:37

-Yes. There are, actually, aren't there?

-Yeah!

0:02:370:02:41

This morning our pair are splitting up and

0:02:410:02:43

Raj is heading to the oldest historical street in Norwich

0:02:430:02:47

to start his shopping at Elm Hill Collectables.

0:02:470:02:50

Sweet.

0:02:500:02:52

-Hello there.

-Hello, Raj. Hello.

-Hello, and you are?

-Paul.

0:02:530:02:56

Paul, lovely to meet you. So lots of bargains in here?

0:02:560:02:59

-Everything's a bargain.

-Everything is a bargain.

0:02:590:03:02

I can tell, I can tell I'm going to have trouble here!

0:03:020:03:04

There's bits and pieces all over the place,

0:03:090:03:12

and that's the kind of shop I really, really like.

0:03:120:03:15

What a beautiful butterfly this is.

0:03:190:03:20

It's called a Rajah Brooke.

0:03:200:03:23

What a lovely name that is!

0:03:230:03:25

-Paul...

-Yes, Raj?

0:03:280:03:30

I've had a little look round, you've got some lovely things,

0:03:300:03:33

but I bet you've got something under the counter that's probably

0:03:330:03:36

-just come in, haven't you?

-Let me think.

0:03:360:03:39

How about...?

0:03:390:03:41

What do you think?

0:03:450:03:47

-You can see the maker.

-Yes, Georg Jensen.

0:03:480:03:51

-Yes.

-Fine maker.

0:03:510:03:53

Indeed.

0:03:530:03:55

They've been producing eye-catching designs for more than 100 years.

0:03:550:03:59

Good quality. Bit of a designer thing, isn't it?

0:03:590:04:03

Strange, isn't it, I mean, it does nothing for me, the style.

0:04:030:04:06

-It's very unusual. Silver, I presume.

-Yes, it's hallmarked.

0:04:060:04:09

And the auction we're going to...

0:04:090:04:11

-Yes.

-..is in Essex.

0:04:110:04:13

Right. They'll love that there.

0:04:130:04:16

Well, they could love it or they could really hate it.

0:04:160:04:19

-I mean, it's not really my taste, I have to be honest.

-No.

0:04:190:04:22

-Or yours. You just want to get rid of it!

-Yes, I do, yes.

-OK.

0:04:220:04:25

Give me a clue as to what you want for it?

0:04:250:04:27

-I think 75.

-Oh, no.

0:04:270:04:30

How about 50? And you'll double your money.

0:04:300:04:33

No, I'm not sure about that.

0:04:330:04:35

-Oh, I'm totally sure.

-Can I think about it?

0:04:350:04:38

-Have you got anything else? Have you got anything else?

-Probably.

0:04:380:04:41

What is that, Japanese, do you think?

0:04:410:04:43

I think it is.

0:04:430:04:44

A bit of 19th century papier mache.

0:04:440:04:46

-Yes. Quite attractive, I thought.

-Yes, it's quite attractive.

0:04:460:04:50

That can be ever so reasonable. Essex would appreciate that.

0:04:500:04:53

-How much could that be?

-How about £10?

0:04:530:04:56

How about, I don't want to hit you too hard,

0:04:580:05:02

so how about the Georg Jensen ring and this for £50?

0:05:020:05:05

-Deal?

-Yeah.

-Oh, I should have come in less!

0:05:060:05:08

I should have come in less! That was much too quick.

0:05:080:05:11

-Does that include the box?

-Of course it includes the box!

0:05:110:05:14

-Fantastic, I bought two things off you.

-Nice.

0:05:140:05:16

-Fantastic.

-I hope you do well, Raj.

-Thank you very much indeed, Paul.

0:05:160:05:20

It's been an absolute pleasure.

0:05:200:05:21

So Raj has secured the 1960s Georg Jensen ring for £40

0:05:210:05:26

and the 19th century papier mache box for a tenner.

0:05:260:05:30

A cracking start.

0:05:300:05:32

Back with Catherine and she's decided to start her day

0:05:370:05:40

by soaking up a bit of culture in Norwich.

0:05:400:05:43

Considered the modern-day capital of East Anglia,

0:05:450:05:49

Catherine's come to hear about the region's most ferocious

0:05:490:05:52

warrior queen, the legendary Boudicca.

0:05:520:05:55

She's meeting an expert on the story,

0:05:560:05:58

chief curator of Norwich Castle Museum, Dr John Davies.

0:05:580:06:02

So John, we're going right back to the first century AD.

0:06:020:06:07

Who was Boudicca?

0:06:070:06:08

Boudicca is one of the most famous heroines from

0:06:080:06:12

the whole of world history. She stood up to the great might

0:06:120:06:15

of the Roman Empire, who were just undefeated at that time,

0:06:150:06:19

and she very nearly ejected the might of the whole Romans

0:06:190:06:22

-from this country.

-What did she do then, where did it all begin?

0:06:220:06:26

This was in the mid-1st century AD, around about AD 60.

0:06:260:06:29

Boudicca was queen of the Iceni tribe who were a rural community

0:06:290:06:32

living in what is now Norfolk. Chieftain at the time,

0:06:320:06:35

the king of the tribe of the Iceni, Prasutagus, died.

0:06:350:06:39

Boudicca was his wife, his queen,

0:06:390:06:41

and she seceded to the leadership of the Iceni.

0:06:410:06:45

And Prasutagus had tried to leave part of his estate to Boudicca

0:06:450:06:50

and her daughters. The Romans were having none of that and

0:06:500:06:53

so the episode that is so famous, when Boudicca's uprising occurred,

0:06:530:06:58

essentially was in response to the Romans' very heavy-handed approach

0:06:580:07:03

to clawing back the whole of Boudicca's estate for the Romans.

0:07:030:07:08

The Roman soldiers were ordered to occupy Iceni, and Boudicca

0:07:090:07:14

and her daughters were said to have been brutally attacked and flogged.

0:07:140:07:17

These actions exacerbated widespread resentment for Roman rule,

0:07:170:07:23

and while Roman governor Paulinus was leading a campaign

0:07:230:07:27

in North Wales, the Iceni rebelled.

0:07:270:07:30

Members of other tribes soon followed,

0:07:300:07:33

all led by the mighty Boudicca.

0:07:330:07:35

Boudicca, the Queen of the Iceni tribe.

0:07:350:07:38

But what was she really like?

0:07:380:07:40

Well, she clearly was a very charismatic person.

0:07:400:07:43

However accidental it was that she turned out to lead the tribe,

0:07:430:07:47

certainly she was in a position where people respected her hugely

0:07:470:07:51

and in the region of 120,000 people were prepared

0:07:510:07:55

to lay down their lives to support her.

0:07:550:07:57

People really wanted to back her and follow her and they thought that

0:07:570:08:01

she was strong enough to indeed defeat the Romans

0:08:010:08:04

and eject them from this country.

0:08:040:08:06

Boudicca and her warriors struck at symbols of the Roman occupation.

0:08:080:08:12

The capital at Colchester was burned, as was London and St Albans.

0:08:120:08:17

Boudicca's treatment of her enemies was fierce,

0:08:170:08:20

sending shock waves through the Roman Empire.

0:08:200:08:22

We know that the Roman army was in the region of about 10,000 soldiers.

0:08:220:08:27

Compared with in the region of about 120,000 on the British side.

0:08:270:08:33

The Iceni were just numbers, they were untrained.

0:08:330:08:37

Through physical strength of being outdoor people and farmers,

0:08:370:08:40

that was in their favour.

0:08:400:08:42

They had very strong adrenaline through wanting to defeat these

0:08:420:08:45

Roman oppressors, but essentially they had no military skill,

0:08:450:08:48

very few of them had actually ever fought in a battle before.

0:08:480:08:51

Their weaponry would have reflected the fact that they were farmers,

0:08:510:08:54

they probably would have had sickles and scythes in a pitch battle

0:08:540:08:58

facing each other, person-to-person,

0:08:580:09:00

that there was only ever going to be one outcome -

0:09:000:09:02

they stood no chance whatsoever.

0:09:020:09:04

The Roman figures are something like 80,000 British died at that battle,

0:09:040:09:07

compared with something like 400 Romans.

0:09:070:09:10

I think there's an element of Roman propaganda there,

0:09:100:09:13

but you can get the scale of the massacre.

0:09:130:09:15

-Wow. That is incredible, isn't it?

-Yes.

0:09:150:09:17

The exact location of Boudicca's defeat is unknown.

0:09:170:09:20

And although it's said she survived the battle,

0:09:200:09:23

legend has it that she poisoned herself rather than face capture

0:09:230:09:27

by the Romans. To this day, there are many myths

0:09:270:09:31

surrounding Boudicca's final resting place.

0:09:310:09:33

But one thing is sure, she had a special place in British history,

0:09:330:09:36

remembered for her courage -

0:09:360:09:38

the warrior queen who fought the might of Rome.

0:09:380:09:42

Meanwhile, the mighty Raj has left Norwich

0:09:510:09:54

and is heading west towards Attleborough.

0:09:540:09:56

As far as my tactics for this leg,

0:09:580:10:00

I'm just going to go and see what I find.

0:10:000:10:03

I'm always looking for something that's a little bit different,

0:10:030:10:06

so fingers crossed that I can find it.

0:10:060:10:09

If it's different you're after, Morways Reclamation should deliver.

0:10:090:10:14

Not quite the quaint antiques emporiums Raj is used to,

0:10:140:10:18

this yard is packed with some serious salvage.

0:10:180:10:21

Thankfully owner John is on hand to help.

0:10:210:10:24

I'm mostly into heavies, I'm afraid.

0:10:240:10:26

You are? Well, look at me, I'm a wimp compared to you! You know.

0:10:260:10:30

He is tall, isn't he?

0:10:300:10:32

Wow, look at some of these beams you've got here.

0:10:330:10:36

Some of them are ancient.

0:10:360:10:37

For example, John, something like this, what would that cost?

0:10:370:10:41

Most of the stuff, which is just old timber buildings,

0:10:410:10:44

-just a piece of wood like that probably 700 quid.

-Gee-whiz!

0:10:440:10:48

I think I'm probably looking for something a little bit

0:10:480:10:51

-on the smaller side.

-I thought you might be.

-You know?

0:10:510:10:54

Good luck with that!

0:10:540:10:56

These ladders, though, they're interesting.

0:10:560:10:58

Are they old? They almost remind me of hop ladders.

0:10:580:11:00

These are old painter's ladders.

0:11:000:11:02

Which are not small.

0:11:020:11:04

-They would go well.

-Something smaller.

-Something smaller?

0:11:040:11:08

It's all too big, isn't it?

0:11:080:11:10

We're going down in size, it might take a while for us to get there!

0:11:100:11:13

Ah-ha! Those stained glass windows look more your size, Raj.

0:11:150:11:19

They're quite nice architectural things.

0:11:190:11:21

-I've got loads of those.

-What, these?

0:11:210:11:23

Yes, those sort of things and they'd be quite... I mean, they're 1920s.

0:11:230:11:27

Pick it up so you can see through it.

0:11:270:11:29

Very common, it's a very common Art Nouveau design.

0:11:290:11:33

-It is. It jolly well is.

-Yes.

0:11:330:11:36

-So say six of those, have you got six of those?

-Probably six, yes.

0:11:360:11:40

I mean, if you want, 60 quid.

0:11:400:11:42

I tell you what, because I've got to haggle a little bit, OK?

0:11:420:11:46

What about £50 for six?

0:11:460:11:48

-Yeah, go on, then.

-Yeah?

0:11:480:11:49

Shake hands. Thank you. Brilliant, fantastic.

0:11:490:11:52

Deal done. Raj picks up his six stained glass windows.

0:11:520:11:57

That's a nice one, isn't it?

0:11:570:11:59

Then the search for small things continues.

0:11:590:12:02

These are rather nice. How much would one...

0:12:020:12:05

That one, that one and that one, those three together,

0:12:050:12:08

-what would they cost me?

-To be honest with you,

0:12:080:12:10

you're going to be over 100 quid.

0:12:100:12:12

-And what about those two?

-You can have those two for 80 quid.

0:12:120:12:15

Go on, hit me.

0:12:150:12:18

I wouldn't want to pay more than £40 for those two.

0:12:180:12:21

-What, 20 quid each?

-Yeah.

0:12:210:12:23

-That's tight, you know?

-I tell you what,

0:12:250:12:27

because I think you've done such a great job on the stained glass,

0:12:270:12:30

what about, what about 50 quid for the two?

0:12:300:12:33

-You've got a bargain.

-Really?

0:12:360:12:38

Because if you'd said no,

0:12:380:12:39

I was going to say I'd arm-wrestle for you for one.

0:12:390:12:42

-You would lose.

-You think I don't know that!

0:12:420:12:45

Lucky escape there, Raj.

0:12:460:12:49

So that's the six stained glass windows

0:12:490:12:52

and his 19th century brass door knockers for £100,

0:12:520:12:56

and not a sore arm in sight.

0:12:560:12:58

Playing catch up, Catherine has made her way to Wymondham, where she's

0:13:010:13:05

arrived in this historic market town with over £220 in her pocket.

0:13:050:13:09

And time to spend it at Market Cross Antiques.

0:13:090:13:13

White trousers today.

0:13:130:13:15

-Hello.

-Hi, Catherine.

-I'm Catherine.

-Hi. Good to see you.

0:13:150:13:18

-And you, I'm Gary.

-Hi, Gary.

0:13:180:13:20

This Grade II listed building has three showrooms

0:13:200:13:24

packed with potential purchases.

0:13:240:13:26

I need to be inspired.

0:13:310:13:33

Oh, poker work.

0:13:330:13:35

It's like a little miniature dresser, but it's been...

0:13:350:13:38

It's a poker work. So basically it's been done, so they get

0:13:380:13:41

a hot poker and then they mark it, press it all into the wood.

0:13:410:13:45

It's clever.

0:13:450:13:46

But I just don't really like it.

0:13:460:13:49

On we go.

0:13:490:13:51

I like your ship's wheel.

0:13:540:13:55

-Yes, sweet, isn't it?

-Yeah, nice little thing.

0:13:550:13:58

-Where are we going?

-Anywhere you want to, Catherine!

0:13:580:14:01

-Have you got your sou'wester?

-I have! And my wellingtons!

0:14:010:14:03

What does it say?

0:14:030:14:05

Y...K Not.

0:14:050:14:07

-Why not. Why not!

-Yeah.

0:14:070:14:09

-There you go.

-What I like about this is it does have age.

0:14:090:14:13

I mean, there's so many reproductions of these.

0:14:130:14:15

I mean, you can find them anywhere.

0:14:150:14:18

-And it's got that horrible darker wood.

-OK.

0:14:180:14:20

But this is how it should be.

0:14:200:14:23

I mean, this is about 100 years old, I would say.

0:14:230:14:25

It's got 95 on it, but it has got a big split through it.

0:14:250:14:29

OK. How about 65?

0:14:290:14:32

Hmmm.

0:14:340:14:36

No, I don't think that would probably...

0:14:360:14:39

Where are you at?

0:14:390:14:40

I really wouldn't want to go much more than about 40 on it, honestly.

0:14:400:14:44

-OK.

-Because of that break.

0:14:440:14:47

But if you can't do it, then that's absolutely fine.

0:14:470:14:49

No, I'll do 40. I will do 40.

0:14:490:14:52

But I can't go a penny less.

0:14:520:14:54

-You'll make money on that, Catherine.

-I think I will.

0:14:540:14:56

-I'm going to shake your hand. Thank you very much.

-You're welcome.

0:14:560:14:59

-Thank you.

-Anchors aweigh, then!

0:14:590:15:02

Catherine's made her first purchase!

0:15:020:15:05

Which brings an end to a successful day of shopping.

0:15:050:15:08

Norfolk also has something that I love, absolutely love,

0:15:100:15:14

-which is crab.

-Oh, yes, bit of a crab salad!

0:15:140:15:18

-Is it Cromer, Cromer crab?

-It is, absolutely.

0:15:180:15:20

In fact, that's got me going. What shall we have tonight?

0:15:200:15:24

Crab for two, methinks!

0:15:250:15:27

Nighty-night!

0:15:270:15:28

It's the next day and our experts are in high spirits.

0:15:340:15:37

That's a lovely old tractor!

0:15:400:15:42

Beautiful old tractor.

0:15:440:15:45

So far Catherine's only bought one item -

0:15:480:15:51

the mahogany ship's wheel -

0:15:510:15:52

giving her £181.40 to spend.

0:15:520:15:57

-Where are we going?

-Anywhere you want to, Catherine.

-Where do you fancy?

0:15:570:16:00

Raj on the other hand has bought four lots -

0:16:000:16:02

the 1960s Georg Jensen ring,

0:16:020:16:05

the 19th century papier mache box,

0:16:050:16:08

the set of six stained glass windows,

0:16:080:16:11

and the two 19th-century brass knockers...

0:16:110:16:14

I'd arm wrestle you for it.

0:16:140:16:16

You would lose.

0:16:160:16:17

..leaving him £88.90.

0:16:170:16:20

Don't you go enjoying yourself too much today.

0:16:200:16:23

-I'm going to spend it all.

-Oh, that's what I like to hear.

0:16:230:16:25

My intention is to spend it all.

0:16:250:16:27

Good. You're going to take some risks this time.

0:16:270:16:30

What do you mean this time?

0:16:300:16:31

I took some risks last time.

0:16:310:16:33

-Rubbish!

-I did.

0:16:330:16:34

Your idea of risk is very different from mine.

0:16:340:16:37

Come on, Raj, play the game.

0:16:370:16:39

Play the game.

0:16:390:16:40

Well, it really will be dog eat dog today, as they'll both start their

0:16:410:16:45

shopping in Tottenhill near King's Lynn.

0:16:450:16:48

-I forgot we're going together this morning.

-We are.

0:16:480:16:50

-Yes.

-Shopping together.

-Yeah, so a little bit

0:16:500:16:52

of competition. Let's hope we don't spot the same thing.

0:16:520:16:55

I think you buy very differently from me, actually.

0:16:550:16:58

I'll be honest, I don't really know what I buy.

0:16:580:17:01

-No.

-I have no...

0:17:010:17:02

I never, ever go in with the intention of buying anything.

0:17:020:17:05

If I see something and my...

0:17:050:17:06

-..gut instinct is there's a profit in that, I will buy it.

-Yeah.

0:17:080:17:11

That's kind of how I work really.

0:17:110:17:13

First stop of the day, Tottenhill, and the antiques emporium.

0:17:170:17:21

OK, as I'm here...

0:17:210:17:23

Such a gent. Ready?

0:17:240:17:25

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Let's go.

0:17:250:17:26

An ex-car showroom,

0:17:280:17:30

there's 30 dealers' wares spread across 8,000 square feet.

0:17:300:17:34

Let the fun begin.

0:17:340:17:35

Wow!

0:17:390:17:40

That is impressive.

0:17:400:17:42

-Hello, Catherine.

-Hello.

0:17:530:17:55

You look like you're doing something wrong.

0:17:560:17:58

I'm not. I've just found something that you would absolutely love.

0:17:580:18:02

-You would kill for.

-Really?

0:18:020:18:03

What do you love doing in your spare time?

0:18:030:18:06

Apart from annoying me.

0:18:060:18:08

Well, my big hobby is skiing, of course.

0:18:080:18:10

Oh, you found something ski...

0:18:100:18:12

Can I just say, if you see it, you're not having it,

0:18:120:18:15

cos I found it. Look at that.

0:18:150:18:16

-Little downhill...

-Oh, lovely.

0:18:160:18:19

-A little skier, isn't that fantastic?

-Oh, that's gorgeous.

0:18:190:18:22

Well, it's not for you, Raj.

0:18:220:18:24

-I've told you.

-OK.

0:18:240:18:26

It's always the way, isn't it?

0:18:260:18:28

You always want what you can't have.

0:18:280:18:30

Oh, she's a minx!

0:18:300:18:31

What do I like about this?

0:18:330:18:36

Well...

0:18:360:18:37

..best of all...

0:18:380:18:40

..I like this object.

0:18:410:18:43

Maybe mid-20th century, maybe slightly earlier.

0:18:430:18:46

It's quite nice, it's quite a good novelty item.

0:18:460:18:49

The thing is, it's really quite dirty,

0:18:490:18:54

so you can't actually make out his face particularly well.

0:18:540:18:57

He's got a cute bottom though.

0:18:570:18:59

By George!

0:18:590:19:01

With a ticket of £22, can saucy Southon do a deal with Kingsley?

0:19:010:19:06

I quite like it. As I'm turning it round, actually, I'm noticing

0:19:060:19:09

there is a bit of damage there - one of his poles is a bit bent.

0:19:090:19:12

And you can't see his face very well but I think

0:19:120:19:14

he's probably quite well done, it's just you can't...

0:19:140:19:17

-He's filthy dirty.

-Yeah.

0:19:170:19:19

Can anything be done on that?

0:19:190:19:21

Yeah, there's usually 10% off ticket price, but since it's you,

0:19:210:19:25

-it will be 14.

-14?

-Is that OK?

0:19:250:19:28

-Yeah.

-Give you a chance of a profit.

-Yeah. That's wonderful.

0:19:280:19:32

Thank you. I'll take that at 14.

0:19:320:19:33

Jolly good first deal of the day.

0:19:330:19:36

Worth a toot, I'd say.

0:19:360:19:37

HORN TOOTS TUNELESSLY

0:19:370:19:39

I'm pretty good at that!

0:19:390:19:41

You're not!

0:19:410:19:43

I might have a career.

0:19:430:19:44

I don't think so. If I may interrupt, OK...

0:19:440:19:48

-You have a go.

-I don't know what that noise was,

0:19:480:19:51

but three pigeons have just dropped out of the sky.

0:19:510:19:53

Right, if I wipe this, you have a go.

0:19:530:19:56

Go on. You do it better.

0:19:560:19:58

Sammy, play it again!

0:19:580:20:00

Come on.

0:20:000:20:01

I'll get a little bit of a...

0:20:010:20:03

HE ALMOST PLAYS A TUNE

0:20:030:20:06

Sorry.

0:20:080:20:11

All right, balloon lungs,

0:20:110:20:13

back to buying.

0:20:130:20:15

Chinese things at the moment are really, really collectable

0:20:190:20:23

and these are two really lovely watercolours.

0:20:230:20:27

They're Chinese, they are signed, and these are beautifully done.

0:20:270:20:32

They'd make a nice lot, the two of these.

0:20:320:20:35

I'm going to call Jane and see what she can do them for.

0:20:350:20:38

With a combined ticket price of £96 for the two, Jane, you're up.

0:20:380:20:42

I think my best, Raj, would be 70.

0:20:440:20:47

70...

0:20:470:20:49

What about if I said 60?

0:20:490:20:51

Seeing as it's you, yes.

0:20:530:20:55

Yes? Are you sure?

0:20:550:20:56

-Yes.

-Shake hands.

0:20:560:20:58

-£60. Fantastic.

-OK.

0:20:580:21:00

Fantastic. I really like them.

0:21:000:21:02

The two 19th century watercolours bought, and Raj is spent.

0:21:020:21:06

Now, what have you got there, Catherine?

0:21:080:21:11

So this is something completely different, but I like this.

0:21:110:21:15

It's probably for your taters,

0:21:150:21:18

because of these little nodules on the end here...

0:21:180:21:22

They're so you won't pierce your potatoes

0:21:220:21:25

when you're digging them up.

0:21:250:21:27

The ticket says £28. Kingsley?

0:21:270:21:31

So, what would you do on that?

0:21:310:21:32

-What would be the best price?

-That only came in yesterday.

0:21:320:21:35

-Did it?

-And he's got 28...

-And it could fly out, I'm sure.

0:21:350:21:38

-So probably about 15.

-You wouldn't do ten on that?

0:21:380:21:41

Yeah, for you I would. Yeah.

0:21:410:21:42

Ten. Yeah, that could be a goer at ten.

0:21:420:21:45

OK. That's an idea but I've just seen something else.

0:21:450:21:48

-I am cooking on gas.

-OK.

-Can we have another look over here?

0:21:480:21:50

Fantastic.

0:21:500:21:52

What have you spied then?

0:21:520:21:55

A bit of Arts and Crafts.

0:21:550:21:56

Arts and Crafts, copper, hand-beaten...

0:21:590:22:03

What I like is the big image of the dragon, or the griffin.

0:22:030:22:06

It would be lovely if it had some initials on the back...

0:22:060:22:09

-Yeah.

-..of one of the top makers,

0:22:090:22:11

but I can see it's not that sort of quality.

0:22:110:22:14

But it's sort of turn-of-the-century,

0:22:140:22:16

it's quite well-defined. Nice image. What's on it?

0:22:160:22:20

-45.

-45.

0:22:200:22:22

Is there a lot of movement in that?

0:22:220:22:24

There could be. Probably 25.

0:22:240:22:27

25, yeah...

0:22:270:22:29

And then, what did we say on the fork?

0:22:290:22:31

-Ten.

-Ten.

0:22:310:22:33

Could that be 20 as well, I could have them both at 30?

0:22:350:22:38

-Yeah, go on. Yeah. Fine.

-You're a good man.

0:22:380:22:41

-Right, thank you.

-We're done.

0:22:410:22:43

I make that three items bought for £44.

0:22:430:22:46

Spiffing shopping, Southon.

0:22:460:22:48

Staying in Norfolk, Raj has made his way to Swaffham,

0:22:530:22:57

a quaint market town that has an unlikely connection

0:22:570:23:01

to the Valley of Kings in Egypt.

0:23:010:23:03

Raj has come to Swaffham Museum to meet volunteer manager Sue Gattuso...

0:23:030:23:08

-Hello there.

-..to learn about the town's most famous resident,

0:23:080:23:12

the man who discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun, Howard Carter.

0:23:120:23:17

-Let's go in.

-After you.

0:23:170:23:19

An enigmatic artist and archaeologist,

0:23:210:23:24

Howard Carter shocked the world when he discovered the prized tomb

0:23:240:23:28

of Tutankhamun in 1922,

0:23:280:23:31

but the story starts here in this Norfolk market town.

0:23:310:23:35

His family was a Swaffham family.

0:23:350:23:38

His father was Samuel John Carter,

0:23:380:23:40

who was a well-known animal portrait painter in the Victorian times,

0:23:400:23:44

and he married Martha Joyce, who was also from Swaffham.

0:23:440:23:47

Her father was a builder. And Howard was one of ten children.

0:23:470:23:52

He was the youngest of their ten children.

0:23:520:23:54

His father made sure that all of his children could draw and paint

0:23:540:23:58

because he insisted that they'd all be able to earn their living.

0:23:580:24:01

And when he was 15, Howard decided that he wanted to be

0:24:010:24:03

an artist, just like his father, and paint portraits.

0:24:030:24:07

And so he served really an apprenticeship,

0:24:070:24:09

he went around with his father to the gentry houses.

0:24:090:24:12

And one of those was Didlington Hall, and met

0:24:120:24:14

Lord and Lady Amherst, who had one of the biggest Egyptian collections.

0:24:140:24:19

-So I presume that's where his first passion for Egyptology actually started.

-Yes, exactly.

0:24:190:24:24

Carter's love for Egyptology was ignited,

0:24:240:24:28

and in 1891, aged just 17,

0:24:280:24:31

he headed to Egypt where he worked for 16 years

0:24:310:24:34

before meeting wealthy English aristocrat Lord Caernarfon.

0:24:340:24:38

And in what year did he actually meet Lord Caernarfon?

0:24:390:24:44

He met him in 1907.

0:24:440:24:46

When Lord Caernarfon was in Egypt, interested in Egyptian antiquities,

0:24:460:24:50

and somebody suggested to him, you need Howard Carter,

0:24:500:24:53

and so that's how the two of them met.

0:24:530:24:56

-So this was a big turning point in Carter's life.

-Absolutely.

0:24:560:24:59

Howard always had this dream of finding the tomb of Tutankhamun,

0:24:590:25:03

which everybody said never existed,

0:25:030:25:05

but they kept finding little bits and pieces,

0:25:050:25:07

and so Howard began to put the jigsaw together.

0:25:070:25:11

A lot of the archaeologists thought that there was nothing left in

0:25:110:25:13

the Valley of the Kings, and they had to have licences to dig.

0:25:130:25:16

And in 1914, the license to dig in the Valley of the Kings came up

0:25:160:25:22

for sale and Howard persuaded Caernarfon to buy that licence.

0:25:220:25:25

Then came the First World War,

0:25:250:25:27

and they had to stop digging then,

0:25:270:25:29

and they didn't start again until 1917.

0:25:290:25:32

And they'd dug for five or six seasons and then Caernarfon said,

0:25:320:25:36

"No, I can't do any more. There's obviously nothing here.

0:25:360:25:39

"Let's give up."

0:25:390:25:40

And Howard persuaded him to just do one more dig,

0:25:400:25:44

and that's where the story starts.

0:25:440:25:46

The 26th of November 1922 was, in Carter's own words,

0:25:480:25:53

"The day of days, the most wonderful I've ever lived through

0:25:530:25:56

"and certainly one whose like I can never hope to see again."

0:25:560:26:01

He had found the tomb of Tutankhamun.

0:26:010:26:05

So, Sue, you're Howard Carter, I'm Lord Caernarfon.

0:26:050:26:09

We're outside the tomb, tell me what happened.

0:26:090:26:13

They came down a long corridor and they came to this door,

0:26:130:26:16

which was sealed, which meant that nobody had been there before

0:26:160:26:19

in those thousands of years. Carter made a small incision in the door,

0:26:190:26:24

just enough so that he could get a candle through.

0:26:240:26:27

And Caernarfon stood behind and he said, "What can you see? What can you see?"

0:26:270:26:31

Carter just said, "Wonderful things,"

0:26:310:26:34

because everything he saw was just covered in gold.

0:26:340:26:37

Wow! Amazing!

0:26:370:26:39

Having lain undiscovered for over 3,000 years,

0:26:400:26:44

it was by far the best preserved royal tomb ever found

0:26:440:26:48

and sparked a global frenzy for Ancient Egypt.

0:26:480:26:52

Carter spent the next ten years excavating the tomb's treasures.

0:26:520:26:56

Sadly, Lord Caernarfon never lived long enough to witness one of

0:26:560:27:00

the greatest moments, the opening of Tutankhamun's sarcophagus.

0:27:000:27:05

And inside, there were three coffins, one inside of the other,

0:27:050:27:09

like Russian dolls. And the third one, the inner coffin,

0:27:090:27:13

-was made of pure gold.

-Wow!

0:27:130:27:15

Encrusted with jewels and so forth.

0:27:150:27:17

It wasn't until late 1925 that he actually came face-to-face

0:27:170:27:21

with Tutankhamun.

0:27:210:27:24

Howard Carter's discovery made him one of the world's

0:27:240:27:27

most famous archaeologists, and without his first brush

0:27:270:27:31

with Egyptian artefacts here in Swaffham, the boy king, Tutankhamun,

0:27:310:27:36

could have remained hidden to this very day.

0:27:360:27:39

Back with Catherine,

0:27:410:27:43

and she's made her way to Long Sutton in Lincolnshire.

0:27:430:27:46

This pretty little market town was allegedly once home

0:27:470:27:51

to notorious highwayman Dick Turpin.

0:27:510:27:54

Better watch out for your purse, Catherine!

0:27:540:27:56

-Good afternoon.

-Hello, how are you?

0:27:570:27:59

Oh! Your little doggie pricked his ears up then.

0:27:590:28:01

-I'm Catherine.

-Hello, nice to see you.

0:28:010:28:03

-I'm Catherine too.

-Oh, very good.

0:28:030:28:06

With two floors filled with antiques and collectables,

0:28:060:28:09

Catherine is on the prowl for something to shoot her into the lead.

0:28:090:28:13

Starting cannon.

0:28:140:28:16

A-ha! So, this is steel-lined.

0:28:160:28:19

So he's saying it's like for starting a yacht race or something like that.

0:28:190:28:23

So you'd put the match in there and then it would fire from here.

0:28:230:28:28

The thing is, the carriage looks a very,

0:28:280:28:30

very different colour to the actual barrel.

0:28:300:28:33

It sits quite well, but...

0:28:330:28:36

I think it's a marriage.

0:28:370:28:39

I think the carriage is a marriage.

0:28:390:28:42

And probably therefore not for us.

0:28:430:28:45

I spy with my little eye a few little sewing accessories.

0:28:500:28:54

Now, I like this.

0:28:540:28:55

So this is boxwood, I would say...

0:28:560:28:59

Some other wood, maybe not boxwood, maybe...well, fruit wood, probably.

0:28:590:29:03

But it's a little tape measure in the form of a fishing reel,

0:29:030:29:07

which is rather sweet.

0:29:070:29:08

But it has got a break in it here.

0:29:080:29:10

You see? It's got a bit of damage.

0:29:100:29:12

But sewing accessories can be quite desirable.

0:29:120:29:16

There's a couple of other bits in here as well.

0:29:160:29:19

Two little pin cushions. One in the form of a swan.

0:29:190:29:22

Tiny little thing.

0:29:220:29:24

And another one in the form of a doggy.

0:29:240:29:26

My thought, maybe put them together in a little group lot.

0:29:260:29:30

30, £40, something like that.

0:29:300:29:32

That's probably what I want to spend.

0:29:320:29:34

But each one has got quite a price on it.

0:29:340:29:37

Let's hope your namesake is feeling generous then.

0:29:380:29:41

This is what caught my eye. I thought that was quite sweet.

0:29:410:29:43

-It is cute.

-A tape measure in the form of a fishing reel,

0:29:430:29:46

but I don't know if you are aware that there is a break here.

0:29:460:29:49

-Can you see there?

-Oh, yes.

0:29:490:29:51

-I hadn't noticed it.

-There's a break there.

0:29:510:29:53

So, that will affect the value.

0:29:550:29:57

-Yes.

-The other couple of little things I saw was the doggy,

0:29:570:30:01

pin cushion, but again, I think it's just cast metal, isn't he?

0:30:010:30:04

-No precious metal.

-There's no marks on it.

0:30:040:30:06

And then this one.

0:30:060:30:08

And that's silver, is it?

0:30:080:30:09

Well, I think it's got a silver mark on it,

0:30:090:30:11

-but it might not be English...

-It's not English, so it's probably...

0:30:110:30:14

There's a little bit of age to the pin cushion

0:30:140:30:17

but I don't think it's terribly old.

0:30:170:30:19

The combined ticket price for the three is a whopping £118.

0:30:200:30:24

In my mind, I would like to buy them at around £30...

0:30:260:30:30

for the group.

0:30:300:30:31

I can't go that far.

0:30:340:30:35

-No?

-I can't, no.

0:30:350:30:37

I don't really want to do much more than say 35, honestly.

0:30:370:30:41

Go 40 and I'll do it.

0:30:410:30:43

-Right, lovely.

-OK?

-Thank you. No, I appreciate that.

0:30:450:30:49

That final delightful deal means our experts' classic car's boot

0:30:490:30:54

is full-up with items for auction.

0:30:540:30:56

Well, the auction that we're going to is in Colchester.

0:30:590:31:02

-Yes.

-Which is in Essex.

-That's where I went to uni.

0:31:020:31:05

-Oh, is it?

-I spent four years of my life there.

0:31:050:31:07

-Really?

-I did indeed.

-Oh, so you know it well.

0:31:070:31:10

Party town, Raj!

0:31:100:31:11

-Oh, good.

-Party town!

0:31:110:31:13

Good, I can't wait to get there.

0:31:130:31:15

Well, don't party too hard.

0:31:160:31:18

You've got an auction to face in the morning.

0:31:180:31:20

Send in the sandman.

0:31:200:31:22

After starting in Norwich, our experts have zipped

0:31:260:31:29

around the East of England and are now off to auction

0:31:290:31:31

in Catherine's old stomping ground.

0:31:310:31:33

Britain's oldest recorded town, and former capital of England,

0:31:340:31:38

Colchester is home to a heritage stretching back over 2,000 years.

0:31:380:31:44

Today's auction is being hosted by Reeman Dansie.

0:31:440:31:47

-Auction two.

-Hardly anything in it.

0:31:480:31:51

Anything could happen today.

0:31:510:31:53

Indeed.

0:31:530:31:54

On this leg, Catherine bought five lots for auction, spending £124...

0:31:560:32:01

..while Raj promised to spend big and he did,

0:32:020:32:05

buying five lots for £210.

0:32:050:32:08

So, what do they think of each other's bounty?

0:32:080:32:10

I really, really like this.

0:32:110:32:14

This is a beautiful little skier. It's got some damage to it,

0:32:140:32:18

and I don't think that the base is original to the actual skier,

0:32:180:32:22

but it is silver.

0:32:220:32:23

I don't normally say this cos everything I buy, I would never swap, but

0:32:230:32:27

this is the first thing that I've seen that I would actually swap.

0:32:270:32:31

You could have anything that I bought for this cos I love it.

0:32:310:32:34

If this does well,

0:32:340:32:35

it's going to be all downhill from here on in for me.

0:32:350:32:38

Not too happy with Raj buying this piece of Jensen.

0:32:380:32:42

Jensen is probably one of my favourite designers of jewellery.

0:32:420:32:46

What I like about this is it's classic, it's classy.

0:32:460:32:50

Really, it's timeless.

0:32:500:32:51

The man wielding the gavel today is Lewis Rabett,

0:32:530:32:57

so what does he make of our experts' items?

0:32:570:33:00

The copper tray is a nice piece of Arts and Crafts metalwork.

0:33:000:33:03

It's nice with the decoration on it as well,

0:33:030:33:05

of the dragon or the griffin. I think if it had a name on it

0:33:050:33:08

it would potentially sell a bit better but as it is,

0:33:080:33:10

it's still a very nice little item and we get plenty of collectors

0:33:100:33:13

for that kind of thing, so it should sell well.

0:33:130:33:15

The papier mache box is quite nice. Probably it's a little table snuff.

0:33:150:33:19

But it's a nice little item that someone would have in their sort of

0:33:190:33:22

curiosity cabinet. You know, it's in good order,

0:33:220:33:24

cos papier mache is quite fragile.

0:33:240:33:26

With buyers online and in the room, let's get things started.

0:33:260:33:30

-Ready?

-As ready as I'll ever be.

0:33:330:33:36

First up, Raj's papier mache box.

0:33:360:33:39

£30 for it. 30, £30?

0:33:410:33:43

30 is bid with Ian.

0:33:430:33:45

-Maiden bid then with Ian.

-You're in profit.

0:33:450:33:48

34. At £34, back with Ian.

0:33:480:33:51

At 34. 36. 38.

0:33:510:33:54

At 38. 40 in the room now.

0:33:540:33:56

-42.

-Well done.

0:33:560:33:57

44. At £44 at the back of the room then.

0:33:570:34:00

46. 48.

0:34:000:34:03

At 48 then in the room, gentleman's bid,

0:34:030:34:05

and I'm going to sell, all done at 48.

0:34:050:34:08

I love you - "Nobody wants these sorts of things."

0:34:080:34:11

"Oh, yeah, I quite like it now."

0:34:110:34:13

Well, I didn't make 50.

0:34:130:34:15

No, but it did make you rather an impressive profit.

0:34:150:34:18

Well done, my friend.

0:34:200:34:22

That high five needs some work.

0:34:220:34:24

Right, vintage potato fork, anyone?

0:34:240:34:27

£20 somewhere to start me for it.

0:34:270:34:29

20? 20 is bid with David.

0:34:290:34:30

-Straight in, you've done well.

-22 online.

0:34:300:34:32

At £22 then on the internet.

0:34:320:34:34

At £22 only online.

0:34:340:34:36

-Yay! I'm delighted with that.

-At 22 then, on the internet,

0:34:360:34:40

I'm going to sell.

0:34:400:34:41

-Yay!

-All done? At 22.

0:34:410:34:44

-That's good, that is.

-That's very good.

0:34:440:34:45

You should be pleased with that.

0:34:450:34:47

So, it's a profit apiece.

0:34:470:34:49

Smashing start.

0:34:490:34:51

I think that was quite jammy.

0:34:510:34:52

No, it was potatoes.

0:34:530:34:55

It had nothing to do with jam. Sorry.

0:34:550:34:58

So you should be, old boy.

0:34:580:35:00

Right, your 19th-century watercolours are up next. Stand by.

0:35:000:35:04

The thing is with these watercolours,

0:35:050:35:07

I find sometimes they can totally fly.

0:35:070:35:11

And I have £30 with me now.

0:35:110:35:12

At £30 only now.

0:35:120:35:14

Anywhere else? At £30.

0:35:140:35:16

32. 34.

0:35:160:35:18

-Good.

-At 34, 36, 38.

0:35:180:35:20

At 38.

0:35:200:35:22

40. 42.

0:35:220:35:23

At 42. 44.

0:35:230:35:26

At £44, 46.

0:35:260:35:28

-Yeah.

-At 46. 48.

0:35:280:35:29

-Good.

-At £48, I'm out.

0:35:290:35:31

-Oh, no.

-£48 then, on my right at 48...

0:35:310:35:34

All done, at £48.

0:35:340:35:37

I'm sorry about that cos I think they... I quite rate them.

0:35:370:35:40

I think that's cheap.

0:35:400:35:42

Oh, well.

0:35:420:35:44

Ah, didn't quite fly like they expected. Hard luck.

0:35:440:35:48

That was a fishy lot.

0:35:480:35:50

Oh, please!

0:35:500:35:51

Remind me to buy you a new joke book, Raj.

0:35:510:35:54

Now the turn of Catherine's ship's wheel.

0:35:540:35:58

Hard a-starboard.

0:35:580:35:59

-At £50 with me only. Five anywhere?

-That's fine.

0:35:590:36:01

There you go, straight in.

0:36:010:36:04

60 with me then. 65. 70.

0:36:040:36:07

-It's good.

-£70 then, with me at 70.

0:36:070:36:10

All done? I'm going to sell then.

0:36:100:36:11

-I'm happy with that.

-£70.

0:36:110:36:14

-Good man.

-Another profit.

0:36:140:36:16

Yeah, yeah.

0:36:160:36:17

Clearly Catherine knows what the Colchester crowd are after.

0:36:170:36:21

You're doing very well today, Catherine.

0:36:210:36:23

The thing is, if it's happening for me, you haven't even done yours

0:36:230:36:26

properly yet, so you know, you could be sailing away.

0:36:260:36:28

I wouldn't speak too soon.

0:36:280:36:31

His two brass knockers are up next.

0:36:310:36:34

£20 for them. 20?

0:36:340:36:35

You hovering online? You're tempted.

0:36:350:36:36

£20 for them. 20?

0:36:360:36:38

-They're worth that.

-Bid in the room. At £20 only now then.

0:36:380:36:41

Two anywhere else? At £20 in the room.

0:36:410:36:44

-Yes, yes, yes.

-At 22.

0:36:440:36:45

He likes his knockers!

0:36:450:36:47

At 24. 26. At £26 then.

0:36:470:36:50

-Gentleman's bid on the front row.

-It's not enough.

-Come on.

-More.

0:36:500:36:53

I will sell, make no mistake. At £26.

0:36:530:36:56

-Another loss.

-Yours, sir, 492.

0:36:560:36:59

Oh, dear. That silence says it all.

0:37:000:37:02

It's not Raj's day.

0:37:030:37:05

But can Catherine's luck continue

0:37:050:37:07

with her Arts and Crafts copper tray?

0:37:070:37:10

If it makes something... 30, 40, I'll be very pleased.

0:37:100:37:14

-It should make 30.

-In fact, I'll run round and just, "Yay!"

0:37:140:37:17

-Really, promise?

-And I can start straight in on commission at £30.

0:37:170:37:21

-There you go.

-Ooh!

-32.

0:37:210:37:23

-34.

-Oh, lovely.

0:37:230:37:24

Get your running shoes on. Oh, my goodness.

0:37:240:37:27

40. 42.

0:37:270:37:28

-Get to 50.

-44, 46.

-Come on.

-48.

0:37:280:37:31

55 with me?

0:37:310:37:32

No. At £55 then on commission.

0:37:320:37:34

-60 anywhere else?

-I'm going to hold you to this, Catherine.

0:37:340:37:37

I'm quite pleased with that.

0:37:370:37:38

On commission at 55, and I'm going to sell.

0:37:380:37:40

All done now then, at 55.

0:37:400:37:42

-Away you go.

-Right, I'm off.

0:37:420:37:45

See you in a minute.

0:37:450:37:47

Catherine is running rings around Raj today.

0:37:470:37:50

-Wow. I'm pleased with that.

-That was quick.

0:37:510:37:54

Right, Raj, can you redeem yourself with your George Jenson ring?

0:37:560:37:59

£80 with me only.

0:37:590:38:02

-Come on, 120.

-At £80 on commission now.

0:38:020:38:04

85 if you're coming in online.

0:38:040:38:06

-Come on.

-80 with me. Five anywhere else?

0:38:060:38:09

I will sell. Maiden bid, then, with me.

0:38:090:38:11

All done, at 85 online.

0:38:110:38:13

-Yes.

-At £85 on the internet.

0:38:130:38:15

Takes out my commission.

0:38:150:38:17

At £85 then online.

0:38:170:38:19

-Come on, it's worth more than that.

-It is.

-It is worth more than that.

0:38:190:38:21

I'm going to sell. All done at 85.

0:38:210:38:24

-That's OK.

-Are you all right?

-Yeah, I'm absolutely fine, yeah.

0:38:250:38:28

A little bit disappointing.

0:38:280:38:30

Should have done better, but it's a good profit nevertheless.

0:38:300:38:34

Not quite helped me catch up but it's good enough.

0:38:340:38:37

-A profit is a profit.

-Yeah, we can't complain.

0:38:370:38:39

Let's see how Catherine's Victorian sewing accessories will fare.

0:38:410:38:44

And I have 40 bid on commission.

0:38:460:38:48

At £40 now. Two anywhere else?

0:38:480:38:49

-That's what I paid.

-At £40 on commission.

0:38:490:38:52

42. 44. At £44.

0:38:520:38:54

46, if you like.

0:38:540:38:55

46. I have 50 with me.

0:38:550:38:57

-At £50.

-That's just about a little...

0:38:570:39:00

55, if you like online? 55.

0:39:000:39:02

At £55 on the internet now, 60 in the second row.

0:39:020:39:05

-She's my friend.

-At 60 in the second row.

0:39:050:39:08

Five if you're coming back in online.

0:39:080:39:10

65. 70.

0:39:100:39:12

At £70 then, in the second row at 70.

0:39:120:39:14

Five if you like. At £70 in the second row.

0:39:140:39:17

75 online.

0:39:170:39:19

80. At £80 then.

0:39:190:39:22

-This is good.

-On the internet at 80.

0:39:220:39:24

Coming back in. 85.

0:39:240:39:26

90.

0:39:260:39:27

At £90 now. 95. At 95.

0:39:270:39:30

100. At £100 then in the second row.

0:39:300:39:33

You're done on the internet. At 100, then, in the second row.

0:39:330:39:36

-I'm really surprised.

-All done at £100.

0:39:360:39:39

-That's good.

-Yes, good for you, yeah.

0:39:400:39:43

-Very happy.

-Are you pleased?

0:39:430:39:45

Of course, I'm ecstatic for you, Catherine.

0:39:450:39:48

Yeah, you look it.

0:39:480:39:49

Well done, that girl.

0:39:490:39:51

Well, I think you've done brilliantly so far.

0:39:510:39:54

I might just go actually.

0:39:540:39:56

Don't leave yet. Here comes Raj's final lot,

0:39:570:40:01

his six stained glass windows.

0:40:010:40:03

£30 for them. 30.

0:40:040:40:05

£20, I have.

0:40:050:40:07

At £30 on my right now.

0:40:070:40:08

At 30. 32 online.

0:40:080:40:10

-They'll do good.

-34. At 34.

0:40:100:40:12

At £34 now.

0:40:120:40:14

36, if you like. 36.

0:40:140:40:16

38. At 38.

0:40:160:40:18

-Should be doing this in fivers.

-42. At 42.

0:40:180:40:22

-Come on.

-At £42 now.

0:40:220:40:24

44 if you like online. At £42 now.

0:40:240:40:26

44, if you like.

0:40:260:40:28

-44. 46.

-We're not up there yet.

0:40:280:40:31

-We're still not in profit.

-At £48? No.

0:40:310:40:34

At 48 then, on the internet at 48.

0:40:340:40:35

Do I see 50 anywhere else?

0:40:350:40:37

Come on, someone.

0:40:370:40:39

-Come on, come on.

-Surely, £10 each.

0:40:390:40:40

All done now then at £48.

0:40:400:40:43

Another loss.

0:40:430:40:45

It was minuscule.

0:40:450:40:47

Mini, mini, mini loss.

0:40:470:40:49

A loss is a loss.

0:40:490:40:50

At least it wasn't a large one.

0:40:500:40:52

To be honest, that lot, I'm afraid, a bit of a PANE.

0:40:540:40:56

No? Never... Never mind.

0:40:580:41:00

No more jokes, Raj, please!

0:41:020:41:04

Final lot up, it's Catherine's lovely little silver skier.

0:41:040:41:08

£60 to start me for this one, somewhere, surely?

0:41:080:41:11

60's bid with David.

0:41:110:41:13

At 60, five, 70, five, 80 online.

0:41:130:41:15

-Yes!

-Lovely.

-85.

0:41:150:41:17

-Yes!

-90.

0:41:170:41:19

-Yes!

-95. At 95.

0:41:190:41:21

100. 110.

0:41:210:41:23

At 110. 120, if you like, on the internet.

0:41:230:41:28

At £110 then.

0:41:280:41:30

-That's great.

-I'm delighted with that.

0:41:300:41:32

Getting you in the mood though, isn't it? Do you fancy a slalom?

0:41:340:41:37

The whole rest of this trip is going to go terribly now.

0:41:370:41:40

I'll be reminded of this forever.

0:41:400:41:42

Downhill, it's called.

0:41:420:41:44

What an ending. Superb profit.

0:41:440:41:47

You are way out in front.

0:41:470:41:49

That's something we don't hear very often, but I like that.

0:41:490:41:52

-Do you want me to say it again?

-Yeah, yeah, keep saying it.

0:41:520:41:54

-Catherine, you're way out in front.

-Keep saying it, all the way.

0:41:540:41:57

All the way, Raj.

0:41:570:41:58

Right, let's find out the figures then.

0:41:580:42:01

Raj started this leg in the lead with £238.90.

0:42:020:42:07

Sadly, he made a tiny loss after auction costs,

0:42:070:42:12

90p to be exact,

0:42:120:42:13

so he ends up with £238.

0:42:130:42:16

Catherine started with £221.40,

0:42:170:42:21

but she pulled in a profit after auction costs,

0:42:210:42:24

making a whopping £168.74,

0:42:240:42:28

which means she hurtles into the lead with an amazing £390.14

0:42:280:42:34

to spend on the next leg. Well done, girl!

0:42:340:42:37

Well, that was interesting.

0:42:370:42:39

Well, you did amazingly well.

0:42:390:42:41

Fantastic. And I made a huge loss.

0:42:410:42:44

Oh, come on, Raj. It was about 90p.

0:42:440:42:47

That's a huge loss!

0:42:470:42:49

Next time on the Antiques Road Trip...

0:42:500:42:53

Watch out, Ipswich!

0:42:530:42:55

I don't know what Ipswich is like.

0:42:550:42:56

-Party town.

-Is it?

0:42:560:42:58

I've no idea, but we'll make it a party town.

0:42:580:43:00

Catherine finds a new partner for Raj.

0:43:000:43:03

Come on, darling, Raj is going to love you.

0:43:030:43:06

It's back to the past for Raj...

0:43:060:43:08

This is me 30 years ago.

0:43:080:43:10

..and our expert duo have a porcine distraction.

0:43:100:43:14

-Oh, little piggies.

-I think they've spotted us, Catherine.

0:43:140:43:17

-Come on, let's go.

-They know what we had for breakfast.

-I think they do!
