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 > 0:00:08- You with me?- ..a classic car...
0:00:08 > 0:00:12- Buckle up.- ..and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13- Ooh, sorry!- Ha-ha!
0:00:13 > 0:00:16The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19But it's no mean feat.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23- There'll be worthy winners... - Yes!- ..and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Have a good trip.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37CAR HORN BLARES
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Hark the sound of the noble Triumph Stag
0:00:40 > 0:00:43bearing our seasoned antiques hunters
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Charles Hanson and Anita Manning,
0:00:45 > 0:00:49and another day of rambunctious rivalry on the Caledonian roads.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53I'm now a stag next to my deer.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hello, DEER.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Anita, like, you're stalking these lanes now,
0:00:58 > 0:01:02looking for my antique kill and hopefully, on the chosen two,
0:01:02 > 0:01:04it'll be our time.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06What is he on, eh?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Charles set out with £200 and made a modest profit last time,
0:01:09 > 0:01:14giving him a new budget of £223.86.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18While Anita began with the same amount, but streaked ahead
0:01:18 > 0:01:24in the last saleroom and starts out in front today with £332.26.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27But who will wear the crown this time?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Well, I'll tell you, Charlie, I love your bonnet!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Well, Anita, you know, just, you know,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36I obviously admire your head dress
0:01:36 > 0:01:38and I thought I'll wear my hat today as well.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43Do you think we're the glam couple of the Antiques Road Trip?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Yes, yes! Yes, you are.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Our debonair duo began in Kilbarchan,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and will zigzag north and south, crossing and re-crossing the border
0:01:53 > 0:01:56before a final auction in North Shields.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Onwards and upwards.- Yes!- Yes.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Today, they're setting forth from the Kingdom of Fife
0:02:02 > 0:02:05before wending their way by the banks of the Tay
0:02:05 > 0:02:08and the Tweed, to auction in Dumfries.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10First, to Dunfermline.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13The local abbey and palace was once the favoured residence
0:02:13 > 0:02:17and last resting place of the medieval Scottish monarchs.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Today, our king and queen of antiques
0:02:19 > 0:02:21are proceeding to Anita's first shop,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24the enigmatically named Secret Door.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Have a great time. Bye!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Hello.- Hi!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- I'm Anita.- Hi, Anita. My name's Stuart.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely to meet you.- Pleased to meet you.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Welcome to The Secret Door. - And to be in Dunfermline.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- This is my very first time in this historic town.- Oh, well,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48a lot of history here, a lot of history.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Yeah. Can I have a good look around?- Absolutely.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- A good rummage.- I want you to.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59What treasures await our regal one here?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04I love these, it's a flutter of butterflies.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10Mid-20th century, Scandinavian, enamelled brooches.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13They're absolutely lovely. They're priced up at £35.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Not dear, but I wouldn't want to buy just one,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I'd want to buy the whole lot!
0:03:19 > 0:03:22A flutter for another day, eh?
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Moving on...
0:03:23 > 0:03:28I can't resist cabinets with jewellery and silver.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31And there's a bit of Oriental silver there.
0:03:31 > 0:03:37Now, Oriental items are hot in today's market.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40There's a set of spoons here.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42They are very, very light.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48They have a mark on the back, an Oriental mark.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I can't read it.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I don't know the date.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I think that these are possibly not terribly old,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57but they do come from China.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I've given it a wee bend and silver always has
0:04:02 > 0:04:05a little bit of give in it, so I know that they are silver.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I know that they are Oriental.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11They're priced up at £55.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15I would need to get them reduced from that price,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17but I'm going to have a go at them.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- That's the spirit.- Stuart!- Hello?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Do you know anything about the background of them?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I know that the person that they came from,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29his great-auntie was a missionary in China before the war.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34- Wow!- So, she picked up little bits when she was out there,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36so they're definitely pre-war, I would say.
0:04:36 > 0:04:42I was wondering if I could buy them in the roundabout the £30 mark?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Er, if we said 35, how's that?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- 35 would be absolutely fine with me. - That OK with you?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- You put them on the counter.- Will do.- I'm going to rummage further.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- Keep going.- Spoons which could surely grace a royal table, eh?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Lovely. Meanwhile, His Lordship has made his way
0:04:59 > 0:05:02to the lovely seaside village of Aberdour,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06which faces south across the islands of the Firth of Forth.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09His first shopping destination is Blakes Vintage & Collectables.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11So, stand by.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Good morning.- Hello, Charles. - How are you?- I'm very well.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- How do you do? I'm Debbie. - Hi, Debbie. What a lovely shop.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19What I'm looking for, Debbie,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22are the more interesting, sleepy objects.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I'm a man who likes real antiques.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26So, anything with a big, capital A, I'm after.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Well...
0:05:31 > 0:05:34that looks like balls with a capital B.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Oh! For heaven's sake, Charles.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- I lost a ball. Sorry!- Oh, blimey! Moving swiftly on...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Isn't he cute? This little bear.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I say a small bear.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Take his ribbon off.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02He's OK.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I quite like this bear, he's got this slight hump
0:06:05 > 0:06:08on the back of his shoulder,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11which takes us back to the early teddy bears of...
0:06:12 > 0:06:17..maybe Chad Valley Chilton or, of course, German bears,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19which go back to Steiff.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21And you're looking a bit miserable,
0:06:21 > 0:06:27in that his button nose is slightly tired, but he's got character.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32He's early. This bear, I suspect, is certainly 1930s,
0:06:32 > 0:06:38probably feeling inside, he appears to be wood-shaven
0:06:38 > 0:06:40or even straw-filled.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42He's priced at...
0:06:43 > 0:06:45..£45.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Time to talk to Debbie.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I like him. What's the best you could do?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- 20?- How much?- 20.- £20?- Yes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56If you don't ask, you don't get.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Give him a kiss goodbye.- Aw! - There we go. He's off.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Thanks, Debbie. If I can put him behind your counter,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I'll let you take him away
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- and I'll keep on my little circuit around the shop.- OK.
0:07:07 > 0:07:13And Teddy was very happy, because he was chosen to go to the auction.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Stay tuned, boys and girls, to find out how Teddy gets on.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22And now, over to Auntie Anita in Dunfermline for the next story.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27A lovely pair of volumes of the works of Shakespeare.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31The outsides are just divine.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35They are bound in this wonderful tan leather,
0:07:35 > 0:07:41with gilded tool work on the front cover.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45In this volume, the title is "The Works Of Shakespeare,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47"With Notes By Charles Knight."
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Charles Knight was one of the most prestigious publishers
0:07:52 > 0:07:54in the 18th and 19th century.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59And we have a lovely selection of engravings.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Macbeth, with Macbeth's dagger.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07And Lady Macbeth egging him on.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12The other volume contains comedies and stories.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- Stuart. I'm not a book specialist. - No.- I've fallen in love with these.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22I was looking for sort of around about 150 for the pair.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I could do them for about 100?
0:08:27 > 0:08:28How round about 100?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I mean, just give me it straight, Stuart.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Give me it straight.- 90 would be the best that I can do on them.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Let's go for it. Let's take a chance.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41I'm delighted with them and I hope they bring a smile to my face
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- and don't end in tragedy!- No, no!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Exit, Anita.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48All's well that ends well, eh?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Now, wherefore art thou, Derbyshire man?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I'm a long way away from home,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59I really am. And then, suddenly, you see a view of Tissington,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01which is near Ashbourne,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04about eight miles from where I live in Derbyshire.
0:09:04 > 0:09:10It's made at my local factory, Royal Crown Derby, there's the mark.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Royal Crown Derby date code, probably about 1928.
0:09:14 > 0:09:21You've also got a small artist signature. WEJ Dean
0:09:21 > 0:09:27is for William Edward James Dean, a good local artist at Derby
0:09:27 > 0:09:30in the early 20th century. How nice.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35And quite simply, it's purely a decorative little picture,
0:09:35 > 0:09:40which is on this porcelain rocky outcropped back
0:09:40 > 0:09:44and I quite like it. Debbie.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- I can see on the back here a small label, it says 30.- Yes.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- And the best price would be? - 22.- Yeah, I think it's good.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55For £22, I can't say no. I'll take it.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57£22, thank you so much.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Two items in the old bag and he's still hunting.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04There's some really interesting medals in here and mainly,
0:10:04 > 0:10:05they're all World War II.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07And you wonder what stories they could tell.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11What's quite interesting though is there is a very young-looking
0:10:11 > 0:10:17serviceman here and it says, on the exterior,
0:10:17 > 0:10:22"Kindest regards, Gordon. Cairo, 1942."
0:10:22 > 0:10:28And there he is. And in fact, with the small card of him
0:10:28 > 0:10:31is this interesting little brooch.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32It reads...
0:10:34 > 0:10:38"Gertrude, with love, from Gordon."
0:10:38 > 0:10:43It's quite simply a decorative brooch.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49On the inside of the star there, you've got to the date, 1941,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53and on the bottom, very indistinct,
0:10:53 > 0:10:58but on that yellow gilt tablet, it reads "Iraq".
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- Debbie? Sorry to be a pain again and bother you.- Hi!
0:11:02 > 0:11:06There's perhaps a lovely story here, which you might tell me more about.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08There's an image here of a young man called Gordon.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I think he was about 17.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14He made the brooch for his girlfriend
0:11:14 > 0:11:16and it's a sweetheart brooch.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20It's difficult, Debbie, to put a price on this.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I'd probably want to pay,
0:11:22 > 0:11:28because it's purely decorative and the value is the emotion, £15?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- I'm happy with that. - So, I'll take this for £15.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Yes.- I'll also, obviously, take the plaque, which is reserved,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- and also the teddy bear.- Monty.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Which makes a grand total of £57
0:11:40 > 0:11:43and concludes a fruitful visit to Aberdour for Charles.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Anita's next stop is ten miles up the Fife coast
0:11:52 > 0:11:54and the ancient borough of Kirkcaldy.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Once a busy North Sea port thriving on industries like salt,
0:11:59 > 0:12:04whaling and linoleum. Into this muck and tar world of the 18th century
0:12:04 > 0:12:07came one of the most influential thinkers of his age,
0:12:07 > 0:12:11whose ideas are still hotly debated today.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15At Kirkcaldy Galleries, Anita is meeting Gavin Grant
0:12:15 > 0:12:19and a moral philosopher still very visible in everyday transactions.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Gavin, I've got a £20 note in my pocket.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27On the back, there is an image of our Kirkcaldy man.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Who was he and what did he do?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Well, that's Adam Smith, who we can see on the note,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35and he's one of the greatest thinkers of all time.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38He was born here in Kirkcaldy in 1723,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40was educated at the local school here
0:12:40 > 0:12:43and went on to get further education at Glasgow and Oxford.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46And he really developed ideas about philosophy,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48economics and politics as well,
0:12:48 > 0:12:52that have influenced generations since the mid-18th century.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55The Scottish Enlightenment, with its flowering of scientific
0:12:55 > 0:12:59and intellectual thought, was part of a wider, European
0:12:59 > 0:13:02philosophical movement and Smith was a trailblazer.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06He wrote his most famous book, which was published in 1776,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08which is The Wealth Of Nations.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12It was published in London, in two volumes, and it sold, at the time,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14for £2 and two shillings.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- That's a lot of money at that time. - A lot of money then.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18There were 750 copies sold then,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20so we are fortunate to have one of them here.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22And it went on to become a bestseller.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24By the time that Smith died in 1790,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27it had gone through further editions and it was a bestseller.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Are you telling me that a book on economics was a bestseller?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- That's right.- A sell-out! - Doesn't happen very often,
0:13:33 > 0:13:34but it happened then.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37The Wealth Of Nations, ten years in the writing,
0:13:37 > 0:13:41analysed the creation and uses of wealth and capital within society
0:13:41 > 0:13:43for the first time,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46and gave birth to the social science of political economy.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50He really was against tariffs and a lot of taxation.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54He was more in favour of freer trade across countries,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56breaking down boundaries.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58He wasn't a total advocate of the free market.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02He was in favour of some government regulation.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06But he really argued to have deregulation, as far as possible.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Smith's invisible hand theory,
0:14:09 > 0:14:13that self-interest frequently promotes the interests of society,
0:14:13 > 0:14:17is often used to paint him as the father of modern capitalism.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19But Smith was a moral philosopher,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22who also believed that no society could flourish
0:14:22 > 0:14:24in the face of widespread poverty.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26His ideas have influenced people
0:14:26 > 0:14:29across a whole range of political spectrums, from left to right.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Indeed, Mrs Thatcher and Kirkcaldy's own Gordon Brown
0:14:34 > 0:14:36are two Prime Ministers
0:14:36 > 0:14:39who have each claimed Smith as an inspiration.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Today, the hand of the great man
0:14:42 > 0:14:45can quite literally be seen in this book,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47part of the museum's collection.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51It's by John Locke, the philosopher. Adam Smith owned it
0:14:51 > 0:14:55and inside the book, on page 15, I can show you especially
0:14:55 > 0:14:57where there are handwritten notes.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Now, it's only in the last couple of years that we found out
0:15:00 > 0:15:04that these notes were actually written by Adam Smith himself.
0:15:04 > 0:15:10So, he would have been sitting at his desk, with his inkwell, his pen,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14and his writing paraphernalia, studying that book
0:15:14 > 0:15:16and writing The Wealth Of Nations.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20And still earning a place in politics and economics
0:15:20 > 0:15:22more than two centuries later.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26I'll never look at a £20 note in the same way again!
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Meanwhile, Charles is travelling north through Fife,
0:15:30 > 0:15:31turning eastwards at Perth,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34alongside the banks of the silvery Tay.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37This road runs through the Carse of Gowrie.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41In the summertime, a land of strawberries and raspberries,
0:15:41 > 0:15:46but it's a fine crop of antiques at Michael Young's shop in Glencarse
0:15:46 > 0:15:48that Charles is hoping for today.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Hello, sir.- Hello. You must be Charles.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- I am, your name is?- Michael.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Established, I see outside, since 1887.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58We were established in Aberdeen in 1887.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- You deal in real antiques? - We try to.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- What they called the proper stuff. - Thank you.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I can't wait to go for a wander around.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- I'll report back to you, sir. - Excellent. Feel free to look around.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Thank you.- Well, here's those antiques with a capital A.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17Just under the chandelier here - I'm often called Hawk-Eye Hanson
0:16:17 > 0:16:20and these might be eagles, in fact, but goodness me!
0:16:20 > 0:16:25They are so substantial. I suspect these eagles are probably late 18th,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27if not early 19th century.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Very much made for a grand tourist.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33A pair of eagles, probably Italian, price...
0:16:33 > 0:16:37To you, £18,000.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- I'd better fly away and keep dreaming!- Wakey, wakey!
0:16:40 > 0:16:42There must be something with your name on it.
0:16:42 > 0:16:48On this top shelf is a very attractive pendant, 15 carats,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51almost got a suffragette feel to it,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55because you've got the seed pearls,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58the opals and the amethyst.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02And this would date to around 1910. It's very organic,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04it's very Art Nouveau
0:17:04 > 0:17:07and I think it's a beautiful pendant,
0:17:07 > 0:17:11which, you can see, has also been converted,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15so it can be a pendant worn like that, for a lady,
0:17:15 > 0:17:20but also, it's been mounted, perhaps with a later bar,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23to form a bar brooch as well.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27It's not labelled. There's no ticket price to it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29But it's 15-carat gold.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I'm going to find Michael
0:17:31 > 0:17:35and find out just how much his Art Nouveau brooch might be.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Michael, hello.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I saw earlier on, I've gone back to it, this very,
0:17:40 > 0:17:45very nice Art Nouveau...pendant-cum-brooch.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49I like it because it's got the Art Nouveau whiplash form.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- How much is it, please? - I'm wanting £95 for it.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Yes. Fine. I'll take it.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Thank you very much. That's very kind of you.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59£95. I think it's a beauty
0:17:59 > 0:18:01and quality has to rule the mind,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03and this is an object of great quality.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Now, don't go without your hat,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07because that's, I'm sure, a treasure for you.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Here you are, sir.- That's very kind.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Well caught! Take care. - Goodbye now.- Bye.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Somewhere over the rainbow, Anita's waiting.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18So, how has it been so far?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21It's a journey, you know, it's the right place, right time
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- and hopefully you find that pot of gold.- Yes.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27And you still have tomorrow to find that treasure.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31See you in the morning, munchkins. Nighty-night.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37The sun is up and our early birds have flown the coop,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39landing in the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Look at that, it's just awe-inspiring.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44It's wonderful.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49Talk about being lost in the most beautiful and poetic landscapes,
0:18:49 > 0:18:50this is it.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Oh, Charlie, you're inspired to poetry!
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Will you be inspired to make profit today?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00All I will say is that my heart is beating more and more.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Yesterday, Anita was swept away by two leather-bound volumes
0:19:05 > 0:19:08of Shakespeare and a set of Chinese silver spoons...
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I hope they bring a smile to my face.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14..leaving her with £207.27 to spend.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18While Charles sailed off on a tide of nostalgia, for a teddy bear,
0:19:18 > 0:19:23a Crown Derby easel plaque, a wartime sweetheart brooch
0:19:23 > 0:19:25and an Art Nouveau pendant.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Give him a kiss goodbye.- Aw! - There we go. He's off.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Ah!
0:19:29 > 0:19:32And that leaves £71.86 in his piggy.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36The Borders is famed for its fishing, Charlie.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39And we've got the marvellous River Tweed,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42where you can fish for salmon and trout.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Are you a fisherman yourself?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Anita, I'm not a fisherman, but I must say, you're a good catch.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Charlie, have you ever tickled a trout?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52And I don't mean an old trout!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Ahem! Moving on...
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Today, our pair are wending their way to Hawick,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01a town built on textiles.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04The first knitting machine arrived in 1771
0:20:04 > 0:20:09and the town still produces luxury cashmere and Merino wool goods
0:20:09 > 0:20:11for export around the world.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Anita and Charles will hunt for their particular golden fleece
0:20:14 > 0:20:17at the Borders Antiques Centre.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21I'll take the high road and you take the low road.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Sounds fine to me. Good luck.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- I'll see you later.- OK.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Deer, deer!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Time for some serious browsing.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44I like buying pictures.
0:20:46 > 0:20:52This pair of late 19th, early 20th-century pictures...
0:20:53 > 0:20:55..they've grabbed my attention.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00Now, they're presented very well, but the actual work,
0:21:00 > 0:21:05the actual painting is not of any quality.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10But at that time, we had what was called itinerant artists
0:21:10 > 0:21:15or painters, who would travel about the country, painting local scenes
0:21:15 > 0:21:17to be sold to the local people.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21They were people who had some facility in painting,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23but they weren't trained artists.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26They're priced up at £65.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30If I can get a reasonable chunk off of that,
0:21:30 > 0:21:34this might be my lot in the Border Antiques.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Well, that sounds promising. Now, where did Mr Hanson go?
0:21:37 > 0:21:38On tiptoes.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- It's all right, it's all right! Sorry, sorry.- Charlie.- Yes, Anita.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- I was lucky with my picture before. - Oh, yes?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49So, I've been kind of drawn to pictures again.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Yeah. Looking at the companion on the wall,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I thought we could maybe buy one each?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Go in halves, I'll have one, you have the other one.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Nope! You're companions, but no companion pieces allowed.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Yes, go find your own antiques.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12These are nice, I quite like these Chinese bowls
0:22:12 > 0:22:13because, in fact, they're early.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16This Chinese bowl is completely beaten,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19but it was clearly admired in its heyday,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21because back in the 1920s or '30s,
0:22:21 > 0:22:27somebody has put these rivet staples into the body of the bowl
0:22:27 > 0:22:30to keep it secure and to keep it alive.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35On the exterior of the bowl, you've got this predominant green,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38which is what we know as being famille-verte.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41And that was a palette of Chinese colour
0:22:41 > 0:22:44introduced at the end of the Kangxi period.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47So, we know it's about 1700, 1720.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49The other one, that's attractive,
0:22:49 > 0:22:53this is what we call Chinese export market porcelain.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57This is Qianlong in period and would date to around 1770.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00So, this one is later, but they're quite nice.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03The ticket price for both is £60.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Time for a word with shop owner, Morris.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- I've spotted these bowls.- OK.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12They are beaten, they are a bit bashed.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14How much could they be for the pair?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17The very best price would be 35.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Is that your very best?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- Cash?- It'll be cash.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Oh, yes...- £30.- Really?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I mean, they just are survivors, aren't they?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Like you and me, Morris! They're alive still.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Morris, I'll take them for £30.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34And with that gentleman's agreement, Charles' shopping is concluded.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37But has Anita made a decision?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41You have wonderful furniture in here
0:23:41 > 0:23:45and I have fallen in love with at least half a dozen pieces.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Very good.- But I don't think I can get them
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- in the back-seat of the Stag.- OK.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53But these two pictures have caught my eye.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57These are not what I would call works of art,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59they are decorative pictures.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03I would be looking to buy them, say, in the region of £30?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Is there a possibility that you could come near there?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Can we get a bit nearer 40? - How near?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- 35?- Let's go for 35.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Bravo!
0:24:15 > 0:24:17And while Anita puts her booty in the boot...
0:24:20 > 0:24:23..Charles is off down the road now to Hawick Museum,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25for the story of Jimmy Guthrie,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28a local man turned legendary sportsman.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31This is a recording of his voice from 1937,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34when he shares the thrill of his success.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Charles is flagging down Richard White,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50to tell us about this Borderer
0:24:50 > 0:24:53who was once the fastest man in the world on two wheels.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Who was Jimmy Guthrie?
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Jimmy Guthrie was a local guy, born in 1897,
0:24:59 > 0:25:03who went on to become a classic motorcycling legend
0:25:03 > 0:25:05in the '20s and '30s.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09His father was a famous pedal cyclist who also had motorcycles
0:25:09 > 0:25:12and Jimmy became a dispatch rider in the trenches
0:25:12 > 0:25:14in the Western Front in the First World War.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Their job was to take written information
0:25:17 > 0:25:21between officers and commanders, possibly under shell fire.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25And the bikes they had, although they were built lighter,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28were still heavy to pick up and get out of a trench or whatever.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32You had to learn how to handle those bikes to be a good dispatch rider.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Guthrie survived the war
0:25:34 > 0:25:37and returned home to a family business in motor engineering.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43But he was hooked on two wheels and joined the Hawick Motorcycle Club.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45A teetotaller, he kept himself very fit
0:25:45 > 0:25:48and developed his own style of riding,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51bent far forward for maximum velocity.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55He bought a motorbike and started sand racing.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- Sand racing?- Yeah. Well, on the east coast of Britain,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01there are some famous sand racing tracks -
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Redcar, St Andrews, Aberdeenshire -
0:26:04 > 0:26:06and he made his name there first.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Was he a daredevil?
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Well, I think he was. He was famous for his handling of Norton bikes
0:26:12 > 0:26:14and he took corners at amazing speed.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16He used to ride with his spanner in his boot,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- which was quite dangerous if you came off.- A spanner in his boot?
0:26:19 > 0:26:20- Why?- There's photographs of him.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24I suppose in case he had to stop and adjust the bike, I don't know.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26But it's a dangerous thing to do.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30In 1928, Jimmy became part of the Norton motorcycle team
0:26:30 > 0:26:34and in 1930, won his first Isle Of Man TT,
0:26:34 > 0:26:38which stands for Tourist Trophy, with an average speed of 64mph.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I can see in this room there's a tremendous number of trophies.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Statuettes of mercury, TT trophies won by Jimmy Guthrie
0:26:47 > 0:26:51and two from the Spanish TT in 1933.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56And a pewter flagon and cups from the Swiss Grand Prix in 1936.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59We're seeing the trophies and, of course, just behind me
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- is an actual bike...- Owned by...
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- Owned by Guthrie.- And ridden by him. Tuned up by his brother, Archie.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10So, this bike is probably the bike that led him into the big time.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12A family affair, with his brother, tuned up,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14"There you go, brother, off you go.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19"Your fortune, your legacy, your fame awaits."
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Guthrie was king of the race tracks through the 1930s.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27An unassuming man, he even became the poster boy for cocoa!
0:27:27 > 0:27:30In 1936, his success at the German Grand Prix
0:27:30 > 0:27:33brought him perhaps his most dubious admirer.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37The cup we have here was presented to him by Adolf Hitler,
0:27:37 > 0:27:39the German leader at the time,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42who we assume had wanted to give it to a German rider,
0:27:42 > 0:27:43but that wasn't to be.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Adolf Hitler was a fan?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- I would have said so. - And, obviously, in '37,
0:27:48 > 0:27:51that was only two years before the outbreak of another war,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- which of course he never saw.- No.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58Well, in the last race, his bike crashed into trees.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01They think it ran out of oil and he had severe injuries,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03including a head injury.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Had he been leading the race?
0:28:04 > 0:28:09He was expected to win and he was lapping a slow rider.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11And after he died...
0:28:13 > 0:28:17..a uniformed guard was arranged to take him to the German border,
0:28:17 > 0:28:18escort him to the German border,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20such was the regard that they had for him.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24- And the esteem and honour they held him in.- Yeah.- Amazing.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26And at home in Hawick,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29a three-mile funeral procession paid its own tribute
0:28:29 > 0:28:31to the town's sporting superstar.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Back on the road now, and stomachs are rumbling.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43There's only one dish to eat in this countryside.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- Let me guess, hold on... Salmon. - Yes, that's right!
0:28:48 > 0:28:49Or trout, Charlie!
0:28:51 > 0:28:54So, we'll have a lovely fish to eat tonight.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Anita is off to her last shop of the day
0:28:58 > 0:29:01and Charles has made a request stop by the River Tweed.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Anita told me she'd really like fish for dinner tonight
0:29:06 > 0:29:08and she wants some salmon.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10OK, I'm going in!
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Oh, I do like to be beside the river.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16Fishy, fishy, fishy!
0:29:16 > 0:29:19That is not how you guddle a fish, Charles.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22I can't see any fish. The water is so clear,
0:29:22 > 0:29:26I can't even see a tiddler let alone a minnow.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32It might be boring old crumpet tonight for Anita.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33I'm sorry, Anita.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37We'll leave Charles looking for supper, then.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Where's Anita got to and what's her plan?
0:29:40 > 0:29:45I bought three items, I'm happy with all three of them.
0:29:45 > 0:29:51I've got plenty of dosh in my pocket and I want to spend big!
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Our big spender is headed for Innerleithen,
0:29:55 > 0:29:58a town nestled close to the mighty River Tweed,
0:29:58 > 0:30:00which is Walter Scott country
0:30:00 > 0:30:03and the 19th-century writer was a frequent visitor to the spa here
0:30:03 > 0:30:05at St Ronan's well.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08He even used the name as the title of one of his novels.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12No spa time for Anita though, her destination is Lulu's emporium.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- Hello, are you Lulu?- Hello, Anita!
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Hi! It's lovely to meet you.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- And it's lovely to be back in Innerleithen.- Good.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Time is marching on.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29Anita has £172 and 26p left in her purse,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31and she needs to find auction gold.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Do you know, Lulu, when I was a wee girl, I had a budgie called Joey
0:30:37 > 0:30:40and it was the spitting image of that one there.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44This is quite interesting. This is made by the same factory,
0:30:44 > 0:30:48the same German factory, as little Hummel figures.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Oh, really? I didn't know that. - Yeah.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54They produced the Hummel figures in 1930
0:30:54 > 0:30:58and it was a nun who designed,
0:30:58 > 0:31:01who drew and designed all these little figures,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- and they became hugely collectable. - OK.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06This is much later.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08But, you know, I like it.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12And the pretty boy is priced at £25.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16If I was looking to buy it,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18£25 is a bit expensive
0:31:18 > 0:31:22and I would really be looking, you know, to maybe go about...
0:31:23 > 0:31:27..halfway there, which would be about £12.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- OK.- Is that at all possible?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Yes, he's been sitting on his shelf for a little while,
0:31:33 > 0:31:36so I think he can fly off to a new home.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- In Dumfries?- Yes!
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- Is that OK with you, Joey? - SHE SQUAWKS
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- Yeah, sure it is. OK, thank you very much.- Thank you!
0:31:44 > 0:31:47This little birdie still needs one more shiny thing.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52Happily, she can cast her beady eyes around Keepsakes Antiques,
0:31:52 > 0:31:54just a few doors down.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- Margaret. Lovely to see you again. - Great to see you again!
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Lovely to see you!
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- I love this shop. - Aw, it's nice to have you back.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Can I look around and give you a wee shout?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- Absolutely.- Terrific. - Have a good look.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Margaret, I love this cabinet of silver.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21You've got good Victorian pieces,
0:32:21 > 0:32:25you've got a beautiful Art Nouveau dressing table set,
0:32:25 > 0:32:28you have the first electric kettle,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31so there's a wide range of things here.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33But do you know what caught my eye?
0:32:34 > 0:32:36This little photo frame.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40When I saw it, I thought of modernist design,
0:32:40 > 0:32:43I thought of abstract art.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48- It is, yeah.- What is the very best that you can do?
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- Well, will we say 25?- 25?
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Is there a wee tiny more movement on that?
0:32:58 > 0:33:04- About 20.- 20 would be absolutely fabulous.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05That's fine.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09It's closing time and that's our auction lots all gathered in.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13I think she might have the budgie in her bonnet!
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Are you exhausted, my darling?
0:33:17 > 0:33:18I think it's all that mental energy,
0:33:18 > 0:33:22looking at all those wonderful objects and taking it all in.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25And they'll all be off to auction
0:33:25 > 0:33:27and we've got that to look forward to.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29After that catch of the day, eh?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32And some shut-eye.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Robert Burns' old stamping ground of Dumfries
0:33:38 > 0:33:41is the next stop on our road trip.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Charlie, our second auction.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46I can't believe it. I know!
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- Are you feeling excited?- Yeah, I'm always excited at an auction.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Anita and Charles went forth from Dunfermline, through Fife,
0:33:55 > 0:33:56and north to Tayside,
0:33:56 > 0:34:00before heading southwards through the Scottish Borders.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02But will the best-laid plans for Charles and Anita
0:34:02 > 0:34:05go awry at Dumfries auction hall today?
0:34:05 > 0:34:10Well, Anita splashed out a total of £192 on five auction lots.
0:34:12 > 0:34:17And Charles shelled out a wee bit less on his five lots, £182.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21So, how do they like each other's buys? Anita?
0:34:21 > 0:34:25This teddy bear's a darling, just like Charlie.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Just as cuddly.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31At £20, he's got to make a profit on that.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33This is Anita's silver photo frame
0:34:33 > 0:34:36and it actually gives me the heebie-greebies.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41The monogram concerns me, it might be something quite important
0:34:41 > 0:34:43and might make some serious money.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46What does today's auctioneer, David Hill,
0:34:46 > 0:34:47think of what they bought?
0:34:47 > 0:34:51The Chinese spoons are my particular favourite item.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Clearly silver, so they should sell quite well.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00The 15-carat gold Art Nouveau brooch, that's a popular item
0:35:00 > 0:35:03and has been looked at by a number of people.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08I estimate that that should fetch between £50 and £100.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12So, park yourselves and off we go.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15OK, Charlie, here we are! A packed room.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18This is the moment, isn't it? Hold tight, enjoy the ride, OK?
0:35:20 > 0:35:24First up, Anita's 19th-century rural landscapes.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25Any interest at 11, 12?
0:35:25 > 0:35:30- Yes!- 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- Is that a profit?- No.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34- Sorry!- 19, 20.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38£20. 22?

0:35:40 > 0:35:42He's doing well.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46- Yes, yes, yes!- Selling for £29 only.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48There's no further interest.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54The oils slipped away. £6 lost there.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56In your bag, I think that was your weakest lot
0:35:56 > 0:35:58and I think that's not bad.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Well, onwards and upwards, Charlie. - Exactly, Anita.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Who will enlist for Charles' wartime sweetheart brooch
0:36:05 > 0:36:06and photograph?
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Do we have 13? 13. 14, 14.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24Selling for £19 only, on my left.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28True love always triumphs, forever.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- That's life.- Well done, Charlie.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- Quite happy about that. - And a wee profit.- Exactly.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Who's a pretty boy, then?
0:36:35 > 0:36:37What do we bid for Joey?

0:36:59 > 0:37:01Well, there you are, Charlie.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Anita, I kid you not, that bird was not cheap, cheap!
0:37:05 > 0:37:06Cheeps to chips.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09It's Charles' 18th-century Chinese bowls now.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Any interest at 32?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Hello.- 32. 35 with me.- Go on!

0:37:30 > 0:37:33No, you can't. £12 to you, sir.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- Well done, Charlie. Well done. - Anita, it's one big...
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- You bought with your heart and it paid off.- Yeah, exactly.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Will there be much ado about Anita's

0:37:57 > 0:38:00Selling for £65, at the very back.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Love's labour's lost Anita £25, methinks.
0:38:04 > 0:38:10Well, again, I've made a loss, but it could have been a lot worse.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11A lot worse!
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Next up, will the Crown Derby plaque,
0:38:14 > 0:38:17which reminded Charles of home, appeal in Dumfries?

0:40:19 > 0:40:21It glittered, but not brightly enough.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Oh, Charlie, that was...
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Frenetic.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28That was very stressful.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32I feel good! I feel as though I came out the other end in one piece
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- and that's key. I'm alive still. - Yeah.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15I'm really impressed.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17At last, it was teddy's turn.

0:41:20 > 0:41:21very valuable bear indeed.

0:41:44 > 0:41:49Teddy looks solemn, but inside, he was a very, very happy bear.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Charlie, we've worked hard this morning.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56- I'm hoping we've both come out smelling of roses.- Yeah.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- HE SNIFFS - It's a bit musty in here.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- Shall we go for a cup of tea? Come on!- Let's go for a cup of tea.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Builder's strength with extra sugar, I think.

0:42:09 > 0:42:13but after fees, she made a loss today of £14.88.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17This leaves her with £317.38.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23While Charles set off with £223.86.
0:42:23 > 0:42:30He lost the least today, ie £6.52 after auction costs.
0:42:30 > 0:42:35We declare him the winner this time with £217.34.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- I think this was Charlie's auction. - Get out of here.- Pipped to the post.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Follow my lead. You're buying the tea.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Come on, Anita, a little skip and a hop.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46A little twirl as well!
0:42:46 > 0:42:50And the merry dance will continue on another antiques adventure.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Breathe in the smell of the countryside
0:42:54 > 0:42:55as the journey continues.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59- Oh!- Have you passed wind?!
0:42:59 > 0:43:00Take me back to the city.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02I can't breathe!
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Charles goes native in Lakeland.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07Oh!
0:43:07 > 0:43:12And Anita gets her hands on the man of her dreams...or nightmares.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16I usually like men with a bit more meat on their bones.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19But I kind of like this guy, he's fun!
