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

0:00:020:00:04

-What a job.

-..with £200 each,

0:00:040:00:06

a classic car...

0:00:060:00:08

-Buckle up.

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

0:00:080:00:12

Oh, sorry.

0:00:120:00:13

Ha-ha!

0:00:130:00:14

The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction.

0:00:140:00:17

But it's no mean feat.

0:00:170:00:19

-There'll be worthy winners...

-Yes!

-..and valiant losers.

0:00:190:00:23

So, will it be the high road to glory

0:00:230:00:25

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.

0:00:290:00:31

Yeah!

0:00:340:00:36

-Charlie?

-Yes.

-Where do you think this wee lane is taking us to?

0:00:360:00:39

I think it's taking us to, maybe, a manure heap,

0:00:390:00:41

because that smell, Anita.

0:00:410:00:43

Oh, Charlie.

0:00:430:00:45

Have you passed wind?

0:00:450:00:47

-Take me back to the city!

-I can't breathe!

0:00:470:00:50

Pinch your noses.

0:00:500:00:52

Anita Manning and Charles Hanson,

0:00:520:00:54

our fragrant finders of antiques gold,

0:00:540:00:57

are back on the road, hoping for the sweet smell of success.

0:00:570:01:01

I'm not complacent, Charlie.

0:01:010:01:03

-No.

-But I could be tempted to be a bit adventurous.

0:01:030:01:08

If I was an antique, and you looked at me, what would you think of me?

0:01:080:01:11

Would you buy me, for example?

0:01:110:01:12

I think I'd say, I'd have him!

0:01:120:01:15

THEY LAUGH

0:01:150:01:16

He's caught my eye.

0:01:160:01:18

A bit unusual. A wee bit quirky.

0:01:180:01:21

And I'd say you're full of colour.

0:01:210:01:24

In nice condition.

0:01:240:01:25

Oh, Charlie, we're like a mutual admiration society.

0:01:250:01:30

Mirror, mirror, on the wall...

0:01:300:01:32

Charles made a small loss in the saleroom last time,

0:01:350:01:37

and is still on the back foot with £217.34.

0:01:370:01:41

Anita also had a wee hiccup at the last auction,

0:01:430:01:47

but is still ahead with a healthy £317.38 to spend this time.

0:01:470:01:52

Our 1972 Triumph Stag is looking good, and by their own admission,

0:01:540:01:59

so are our experts.

0:01:590:02:01

I love that suit there. Is that out of the movies?

0:02:020:02:05

Do you like my suit, seriously?

0:02:050:02:06

Charlie, I think you're absolutely lovely today.

0:02:060:02:10

-Are you being serious?

-Your mammy would be proud of you.

0:02:100:02:13

THEY LAUGH

0:02:130:02:15

Aw, look at that, Charles and Anita were waved off from Kilbarchan,

0:02:150:02:20

and are touring the byways of the Scottish Borders and Cumbria

0:02:200:02:23

before a final auction in North Shields.

0:02:230:02:26

Today, they are circling the Lakes,

0:02:260:02:28

and skirting the Solway

0:02:280:02:29

before heading north to auction in Rosewell,

0:02:290:02:32

near Edinburgh. But the first port of call is Keswick,

0:02:320:02:35

where Anita has dropped off Charles for his first shop of the day.

0:02:350:02:40

Now, this Lakeland town

0:02:400:02:42

is associated with romantic writers and artists.

0:02:420:02:46

In the 19th century, this was the centre of pencil manufacturing.

0:02:460:02:50

Hopefully, Charles will be drawing inspiration today,

0:02:500:02:53

from his first shop,

0:02:530:02:54

Keswick Collectables.

0:02:540:02:56

-Good morning.

-Hello.

0:02:560:02:59

-How are you?

-What a fine day.

0:02:590:03:00

It's Keswick, it's always like this.

0:03:010:03:03

Oh, the sun shines on the righteous, eh?

0:03:030:03:06

What's the plan then, Charles?

0:03:060:03:08

At the moment, I am feeling the pressure.

0:03:080:03:10

Anita is ahead.

0:03:100:03:13

And I've got to try and catch her.

0:03:130:03:17

Am I feeling confident?

0:03:180:03:19

It could happen like that.

0:03:190:03:21

Suddenly, out of nowhere, can be that object,

0:03:210:03:25

that can be very much a story of rags to riches.

0:03:250:03:28

I'm hoping it might happen.

0:03:280:03:31

Dreams do come true.

0:03:310:03:33

They do.

0:03:330:03:34

Mark, being in Keswick, of course,

0:03:340:03:37

what Keswick is renowned for is things like this, isn't it?

0:03:370:03:41

The Keswick School of Art, yeah.

0:03:410:03:42

Keswick School of Art.

0:03:420:03:43

The Keswick School of Art, I suppose, goes back to, what?

0:03:430:03:47

The period of the Art Nouveau?

0:03:470:03:49

-Oh, yeah, yeah.

-The 1890s, 1900s?

0:03:490:03:52

Yeah, if you're wanting an expert

0:03:520:03:53

you're probably not talking to quite the right chap,

0:03:530:03:55

but I know quite a bit about it.

0:03:550:03:58

The school itself was about, just a few hundred yards down the street.

0:03:580:04:01

This was the sort of stuff they made.

0:04:010:04:03

Copper being one of the more popular,

0:04:030:04:05

slightly more popular than brass.

0:04:050:04:07

It's lovely, but at £225, it's a tad expensive for Charles.

0:04:070:04:12

Any other shiny things with his name on them?

0:04:120:04:15

Mark, this old napkin ring here, I quite like.

0:04:150:04:17

-Not a problem. I'll just get...

-May I just fish it out?

0:04:170:04:21

And it's Birmingham, 1890 something.

0:04:210:04:23

What happened in 1897, I'll test you?

0:04:230:04:25

You're talking to...

0:04:260:04:27

If I give you a clue, 60 years for Queen and country.

0:04:270:04:30

Oh, is it sort of commemorative, by any chance?

0:04:300:04:32

Well, Queen Victoria.

0:04:320:04:33

-I should know these things, really.

-Are you an Englishman?

-Yes.

0:04:330:04:36

Queen Victoria celebrated 60 years on the throne.

0:04:360:04:38

Of course, I was just about to say that.

0:04:380:04:41

The reason I like it is, we are going to Edinburgh,

0:04:410:04:43

and I suspect these might be

0:04:430:04:45

little Scottish cornelian and different agate stones.

0:04:450:04:49

Inset onto silver.

0:04:490:04:52

It may have been one of six,

0:04:520:04:54

but the quality of this napkin ring is exquisite.

0:04:540:04:56

It's hallmarked Birmingham, with the anchor, it's 1897.

0:04:560:05:00

It is priced at £75.

0:05:000:05:03

Again...

0:05:030:05:04

Start to get a feel for where I am.

0:05:050:05:07

What would be the best price on that, out of interest?

0:05:070:05:09

Well, we've had Anita in before,

0:05:090:05:11

so I don't know where my allegiances lie.

0:05:110:05:12

But... As you're in with me this time,

0:05:120:05:14

and I want you to have a good chance,

0:05:140:05:16

you can have it for 35.

0:05:160:05:17

And I'm going to have 90% of Scotland against me

0:05:170:05:20

for saying that, but...

0:05:200:05:21

Can I mental-note it? Yes, you can.

0:05:210:05:23

Put it onto your desk?

0:05:230:05:24

-I'll put it on my desk.

-For food for thought, that would be kind,

0:05:240:05:27

thank you very much, Mark, I'll come back to you.

0:05:270:05:30

Sterling work, eh?

0:05:300:05:31

Now, what's the story with our Silver Darling out and about,

0:05:320:05:36

soaking up the glorious scenery?

0:05:360:05:38

I love the Lake District.

0:05:390:05:42

Land of the Romantic poets and Beatrix Potter.

0:05:420:05:45

And a wonderful landscape.

0:05:450:05:48

The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the wee car is driving like a dream.

0:05:480:05:55

You couldn't get much better than this.

0:05:550:05:57

No, you couldn't. Anita's travelling south to Kendal.

0:05:570:06:01

And her first stop today is The Antiques Emporium.

0:06:010:06:05

Hello. I'm Anita.

0:06:070:06:08

How nice to see you.

0:06:080:06:10

This looks fabulous.

0:06:100:06:11

-Thank you.

-You've got a bit of everything here.

0:06:110:06:14

Oh, we hope so.

0:06:140:06:16

And a little bit of what you fancy does you good, eh?

0:06:160:06:19

Zut alors! How about a verse of The Marseillaise?

0:06:210:06:26

Come on, now, let's get serious.

0:06:290:06:31

I usually like men with a bit more meat on their bones,

0:06:330:06:37

but I kind of like this guy.

0:06:370:06:40

He's fun. Headless, unfortunately.

0:06:400:06:44

This isn't a real skeleton, of course.

0:06:440:06:46

And it would possibly have been a teaching aid at medical school.

0:06:460:06:52

The sale of human skeletons is strictly prohibited these days,

0:06:520:06:56

thank goodness.

0:06:560:06:57

But as the science of osteology developed in the 17th century,

0:06:570:07:01

there grew up a thriving trade.

0:07:010:07:04

Gruesome.

0:07:040:07:05

Wouldn't he make an interesting conversation piece

0:07:050:07:10

at your dinner parties?

0:07:100:07:11

I don't know what sort of dinner parties she goes to.

0:07:120:07:16

He is priced

0:07:160:07:18

at £125.

0:07:180:07:21

I think I would like to take him to the auction.

0:07:210:07:25

But I've got to get the price down.

0:07:250:07:27

Cue Chris.

0:07:270:07:29

I'd like to pay...

0:07:290:07:30

..in the region of £50 or £60.

0:07:320:07:36

-Now, I know that's a big jump down.

-It is a big jump down.

0:07:360:07:39

So you've got to...

0:07:390:07:40

You've got to tell me.

0:07:410:07:43

I'll have to go and ask the dealer.

0:07:430:07:44

Right, can Anita secure the skeleton for half price from dealer Denise?

0:07:440:07:49

I like him. I know that he isn't the real deal,

0:07:490:07:52

that he hasn't been dug up by Burke and Hare.

0:07:520:07:55

But I would like to pay between £50 and £60.

0:07:550:07:58

Is that too far down?

0:07:580:08:01

-TELEPHONE:

-It is a bit.

0:08:010:08:03

I'll tell you what, Anita. You can have it at 65.

0:08:030:08:07

65, Denise, you are wonderful.

0:08:070:08:10

You're wonderful. And I'd love to meet you,

0:08:100:08:12

because we've obviously got the same taste in men.

0:08:120:08:16

What? I don't fancy yours much, love.

0:08:160:08:19

Denise was lovely. £65.

0:08:190:08:21

She is smashing.

0:08:210:08:23

And I've got a new boyfriend!

0:08:230:08:25

Looks like she's not done yet, though.

0:08:260:08:28

What we have are a pair of little salt dishes.

0:08:280:08:33

They are in the form of little oak tubs,

0:08:330:08:36

and they are bound by silver plate.

0:08:360:08:38

It would be lovely if it was silver.

0:08:380:08:42

But I think they would be a lot more expensive

0:08:420:08:44

if they were hallmarked silver.

0:08:440:08:47

What makes them especially sweet, are the little spoons

0:08:470:08:52

in the form of a shovel.

0:08:520:08:55

They are probably late 19th, early 20th century.

0:08:550:08:59

And we've got a pair, so that one can sit at each end of the table.

0:08:590:09:05

Price ticket is £68.

0:09:050:09:07

Maybe a wee bit dear.

0:09:090:09:11

But if I can get a wee bit off, well...

0:09:110:09:14

They are so unusual that, um,

0:09:140:09:18

I might be in with a chance.

0:09:180:09:19

Chris, I thought these were lovely.

0:09:190:09:21

I noticed them earlier on.

0:09:210:09:23

My eye was drawn to them.

0:09:230:09:24

They are quite unusual.

0:09:240:09:26

They are, they're sweet, aren't they?

0:09:260:09:27

-They're very, very sweet.

-Yes.

0:09:270:09:29

Is there anything we can do on the price?

0:09:290:09:31

I have a little bit of movement on them.

0:09:310:09:35

What about 60?

0:09:350:09:37

Is 50 possible?

0:09:370:09:38

I think that's a bit too far.

0:09:380:09:40

Too far? 55.

0:09:400:09:42

Mm, I would have liked 60, but, go on, as it's you.

0:09:420:09:46

We'll do 55. They are so sweet, they're irresistible.

0:09:460:09:50

-They are.

-So I'll collect my new boyfriend on the way out.

0:09:500:09:54

OK, I'd treat him to a meal if I was you!

0:09:540:09:56

-Thanks, Chris.

-He could do with fattening up.

0:09:560:09:59

Anita's purse is now £120 lighter,

0:09:590:10:02

and with her passenger safely strapped in...

0:10:020:10:04

OK, darling, buckle up.

0:10:040:10:07

..she's back off up north.

0:10:070:10:09

Meanwhile, time to see

0:10:120:10:13

how our other lean machine is getting on in Keswick.

0:10:130:10:16

I quite like the little bowl.

0:10:160:10:18

That's quite interesting, isn't it?

0:10:180:10:20

You've got a good eye, there, Charles.

0:10:200:10:21

Is it... Do you think so?

0:10:210:10:23

I think it's a really nice piece, yeah.

0:10:230:10:24

-Yeah.

-The reason I like this is, it's well-chiselled.

0:10:240:10:28

And if you look at the depth of detail,

0:10:280:10:31

we've got this almost design in relief,

0:10:310:10:34

which is florid, it's organic.

0:10:340:10:35

We've got these beautiful sprays on this fairly,

0:10:350:10:39

what you might call matt-textured ground.

0:10:390:10:42

Over the years, it's become quite dirty, and that's quite nice to see.

0:10:420:10:46

I suspect this is probably Indian silver. It could be 1895,

0:10:460:10:51

it could be as late as 1905.

0:10:510:10:54

I would sell it to you for £40.

0:10:540:10:56

-Would you really?

-Mm.

0:10:560:10:57

Yeah, I like that.

0:10:570:10:59

I will put him with my napkin ring...

0:10:590:11:02

-Excellent.

-..as a maybe.

0:11:020:11:04

-Thank you.

-No problem.

-Do you mind if I keep digging?

0:11:040:11:07

-No, no.

-I'm digging for victory, quite literally.

0:11:070:11:10

Finding my treasure.

0:11:100:11:11

One thing, one thing, I quite like, Mark, is this here.

0:11:110:11:14

I picked this out of the box, because this is probably Art Deco.

0:11:140:11:18

-Yeah.

-1920s.

0:11:180:11:19

Yeah.

0:11:190:11:21

I'll tell you what. If you are taking those two for 35 and 40,

0:11:220:11:27

I'll throw you that one in.

0:11:270:11:28

Very generous! But what is it?

0:11:280:11:31

You've got a thimble...

0:11:310:11:33

end, like that, and, of course, inside,

0:11:330:11:37

you've got the reel for your different cottons,

0:11:370:11:40

although that is silver-plated.

0:11:400:11:45

Ah, so a sewing kit?

0:11:450:11:48

You'll see the engine-turned...

0:11:480:11:50

..silver casing, and the enamel that, sadly, has dissipated.

0:11:510:11:56

Although the remnants of the enamel are still on there.

0:11:560:12:00

But just on the outer edge here, very indistinct,

0:12:000:12:04

there's a silver hallmark.

0:12:040:12:05

I feel now it's time to make some decisions.

0:12:050:12:08

The best you said on the bowl was 40.

0:12:080:12:11

40 on that one, yeah.

0:12:110:12:12

The napkin ring, 35.

0:12:120:12:15

And would you throw that one in, as well?

0:12:150:12:17

-Yeah.

-Are you happy with that?

-75 for the three, yeah.

0:12:170:12:20

So what I might do then, for auction, is make two lots.

0:12:200:12:24

I might put the Scottish napkin ring together,

0:12:240:12:28

and thread through my little sewing requisite lot.

0:12:280:12:32

It is silver, so that's two lots at £75.

0:12:320:12:37

-That's business.

-Smashing.

0:12:370:12:39

-Going, going...

-Gone.

-Sold!

0:12:390:12:41

That's great.

0:12:410:12:42

Two silvery lots for auction for a bit of a song.

0:12:420:12:46

Nice work.

0:12:460:12:47

HE HUMS

0:12:470:12:49

In the meanwhile, Anita has driven north to Penrith,

0:12:490:12:53

a route trodden by Romans 2,000 years ago.

0:12:530:12:56

The roads might not be so straight these days,

0:12:560:12:58

but they are a lot less bumpy,

0:12:580:13:00

as she heads to her next antiques emporium.

0:13:000:13:03

The Brunswick Yard.

0:13:030:13:05

-Hi, I'm Anita.

-Hi, there. I'm Adam.

0:13:050:13:07

-Welcome.

-This is a fascinating antiques centre.

0:13:070:13:10

There's plenty going on here.

0:13:100:13:12

Everything from a few hundred, even thousand pounds, down to 50p.

0:13:120:13:16

Something for 50p would be good.

0:13:160:13:17

This is quite an interesting little child's chair.

0:13:200:13:23

It's a nice wee thing. It is a child's potty chair.

0:13:230:13:27

For potty training.

0:13:270:13:29

This would date from the early part of the 20th century,

0:13:290:13:32

late part of the 19th century.

0:13:320:13:34

And look at this here.

0:13:340:13:36

The poor wee soul was locked into the potty chair,

0:13:360:13:42

until he or she performed.

0:13:420:13:45

I don't know if I like that, but it's quite interesting.

0:13:450:13:48

I wonder how many "p" that would be!

0:13:480:13:51

Oh, she's moving on.

0:13:510:13:53

I've spotted this pair of candlesticks.

0:13:530:13:55

I think they are silver plate, could be aluminium.

0:13:550:13:58

They are in that case, and they are very much in the modernist style.

0:13:580:14:05

They are not to everyone's taste,

0:14:050:14:07

but I think that they've got a lot of style.

0:14:070:14:09

They are priced at £30, which is not a lot of money.

0:14:090:14:13

We're going to have a look at them.

0:14:130:14:15

Adam's your man.

0:14:150:14:17

I thought that they might appeal to the younger set.

0:14:170:14:20

Because they have that modernist look.

0:14:200:14:22

But they could be from, maybe, the 1930s, '40s.

0:14:240:14:27

They've got that kind of look about them, haven't they?

0:14:270:14:29

They've got that kind of look. They've got that kind of look.

0:14:290:14:32

Can these be bought...

0:14:320:14:33

..for £18?

0:14:360:14:38

The simple answer is no.

0:14:380:14:39

27 would be dead best.

0:14:390:14:41

I think I'm going to go for them.

0:14:410:14:43

-27, thank you very much.

-Deal.

0:14:430:14:45

Thank you.

0:14:450:14:46

Well, they are not Liberace,

0:14:460:14:48

but they might shine for you at auction.

0:14:480:14:51

CAR SCREECHES

0:14:510:14:53

Oh, that will be her off then!

0:14:530:14:54

Meanwhile, Charles has also made his way to Penrith,

0:14:560:14:59

where he's about to get to grips with a sport

0:14:590:15:01

people in these parts take great pride in -

0:15:010:15:04

Cumberland, or Westmorland wrestling.

0:15:040:15:07

In Victorian times,

0:15:070:15:08

this form of combat became a hugely popular alternative

0:15:080:15:12

to bare knuckle fighting and boxing.

0:15:120:15:14

At Penrith and Eden Museum our very own Big Daddy

0:15:140:15:19

is going to get the lowdown from curator Corinna Leenen.

0:15:190:15:22

What was unique about this form of wrestling?

0:15:220:15:24

It was always played on grass.

0:15:240:15:26

And then the opponents would face each other,

0:15:260:15:29

and then hold each other around the waist, like this.

0:15:290:15:31

-OK.

-Interlock their hands

0:15:310:15:34

-around the back.

-Yes.

0:15:340:15:35

And then try and topple each other.

0:15:350:15:37

So I would, literally, try and do that, and try and push you over?

0:15:370:15:40

Yes. Yes, you want a nice, tight grip,

0:15:400:15:42

because that was one of the rules,

0:15:420:15:44

you would lose if your hand slips and your grip opens.

0:15:440:15:48

The other way you could lose during the match

0:15:480:15:51

was if any of your body parts, other than your feet, touched the ground.

0:15:510:15:54

The real Big Daddy of this wrestling was local man William Jameson,

0:15:540:15:58

a Penrith joiner by trade,

0:15:580:16:00

who reigned supreme from the 1850s to the 1870s,

0:16:000:16:04

when betting on big-prize bouts attracted huge crowds.

0:16:040:16:07

He was very tall. He weighed about 17st, so a very heavy guy.

0:16:090:16:16

Newspaper articles commented on his size a lot,

0:16:160:16:19

saying he looked like a polar bear

0:16:190:16:21

standing up on his hind legs.

0:16:210:16:23

He won loads of trophies.

0:16:230:16:25

Loads of belts, so

0:16:250:16:28

traditionally a belt would be awarded

0:16:280:16:30

for winning the wrestling match.

0:16:300:16:33

And it was custom that people would wear it to church on Sundays

0:16:330:16:37

to show they had won.

0:16:370:16:39

Jameson won this fine belt in 1860.

0:16:390:16:42

Gosh, that's amazing.

0:16:420:16:44

It is quite heavy, as well.

0:16:440:16:46

And it's in this beautiful condition, isn't it?

0:16:460:16:49

Patinated, polished, and just cherished over the years.

0:16:490:16:54

I feel quite inspired by Jameson.

0:16:540:16:56

I feel, you know, quite beefed up now.

0:16:560:17:00

Well, that's a good thing, because we actually booked you in

0:17:000:17:02

for a wrestling match later on, in Hesket.

0:17:020:17:05

-So...

-I'd love to watch one.

0:17:050:17:08

No, you are actually competing.

0:17:080:17:10

So... I hope you've been listening.

0:17:100:17:12

Get ready to place your bets.

0:17:120:17:14

They are waiting for Charles at Hesket Newmarket Agricultural Show,

0:17:140:17:18

where he's going to take on

0:17:180:17:19

local wrestling hero John Harrington.

0:17:190:17:22

-Is it John?

-Yes.

0:17:220:17:23

Now, John, I understand

0:17:230:17:24

you're eight-times wrestling world champion.

0:17:240:17:28

-Yes, that's right.

-And you're a local lad.

0:17:280:17:30

-Yeah.

-Born and bred.

0:17:300:17:32

-How should I feel?

-Nervous.

0:17:320:17:34

Scared. Very, very scared.

0:17:340:17:36

-I've got this for you to put on.

-What's this?

0:17:360:17:38

This is the costume to put on.

0:17:380:17:40

A pair of stockings, a pair of...

0:17:400:17:42

What are they? Shorts.

0:17:420:17:45

-They are pants, aren't they?

-Yeah.

0:17:450:17:46

-We'll wear those as well?

-That's what you call the centrepiece.

0:17:460:17:49

THEY LAUGH

0:17:490:17:51

This is the centrepiece.

0:17:510:17:53

OK, be careful.

0:17:530:17:55

And then I've obviously got here, what's that?

0:17:550:17:57

-A vest?

-Some long johns and a vest.

0:17:570:17:59

Oh, my goodness me.

0:17:590:18:00

Yeah, OK. I'm all set.

0:18:020:18:04

I can't wait to see Charles in that get-up.

0:18:040:18:06

And look, Anita's arrived to cheer him on.

0:18:060:18:09

Are you angry? I want to see you angry.

0:18:090:18:11

-OK, I'm angry, Anita.

-Are you angry?

0:18:110:18:13

-Yeah, I'm angry.

-Come on! Angrier.

0:18:130:18:15

OK, this is it.

0:18:150:18:17

-ANNOUNCER:

-We've got in the ring

0:18:170:18:18

two very well-matched wrestlers.

0:18:180:18:20

Oh, no. We're not at all.

0:18:200:18:22

On the one hand, our local expert, John Harrington,

0:18:220:18:26

reigning champion from Bewaldeth.

0:18:260:18:28

APPLAUSE

0:18:280:18:30

-And against him...

-Come on!

-..an aspiring wrestler, Charles Hanson,

0:18:300:18:35

from the Antiques Road Trip.

0:18:350:18:38

Go on, Charlie. Charlie! Charlie!

0:18:380:18:41

Oh, nice! He knows how to take hold.

0:18:410:18:45

Charlie, you're doing wonderful.

0:18:450:18:48

OK, Charlie. Ooh! Come on, Charles, atta boy.

0:18:480:18:51

I felt that!

0:18:550:18:56

-Well done, Charles.

-Ah!

0:18:580:19:01

He is so good, then he falls on his back.

0:19:010:19:04

He's a good man. I can't beat the world champion.

0:19:040:19:06

But it was a good try, you are a good sport.

0:19:060:19:09

-You're my hero.

-Oh, Anita, don't say that.

0:19:090:19:12

I'm now weak at the knees in more ways than one.

0:19:120:19:15

Hey, time to retire.

0:19:150:19:17

Dignity intact.

0:19:170:19:19

Nighty-night.

0:19:190:19:20

The sun is up and our Stag is off and running.

0:19:240:19:27

Our experts are rested, and reflecting on the trip so far.

0:19:270:19:31

Have you bought any more broken plates?

0:19:310:19:34

Anita, you know, my heart grows fond for the battered and bruised,

0:19:340:19:38

because we are survivors.

0:19:380:19:40

We are, Charlie.

0:19:400:19:42

-Together!

-We are.

0:19:420:19:44

How was your day? Did you get lucky?

0:19:440:19:47

I had a great time.

0:19:470:19:48

I got a bit lonely, yesterday, Charlie, without you in the car.

0:19:480:19:52

Thanks, Anita.

0:19:520:19:53

So I bought a little travelling companion.

0:19:530:19:57

-Did you?

-Yes, I did.

-Did you?

0:19:570:20:00

It's true. Yesterday Anita met the man of her dreams.

0:20:000:20:04

Or nightmares...

0:20:040:20:05

I usually like men with a bit more meat on their bones.

0:20:050:20:10

..and picked up two candlesticks, and two salt dishes.

0:20:100:20:13

Leaving her with £170.38 still in her purse.

0:20:130:20:18

While Charles rummaged around in Keswick,

0:20:190:20:21

and turned up a hoard of silver,

0:20:210:20:23

a napkin ring, a bowl, and a sewing case...

0:20:230:20:25

-Going, going...

-Gone.

-Sold!

0:20:250:20:27

..which means he has a budget today of £142.34.

0:20:270:20:33

I think what we've got, Anita, with you and I, with this motor,

0:20:330:20:37

is reliability.

0:20:370:20:38

And beauty and glamour!

0:20:390:20:41

-And beauty and glamour.

-Exactly, yeah.

0:20:410:20:44

Is there no end to this mutual admiration?

0:20:440:20:47

Next stop is Cockermouth,

0:20:490:20:50

birthplace of William Wordsworth and of Fletcher Christian,

0:20:500:20:54

who led the mutiny on the Bounty.

0:20:540:20:56

Hopefully, no mutineering,

0:20:570:21:00

but plenty of bounty at Colin Graham Antiques.

0:21:000:21:02

-Good luck, Charlie.

-You too.

0:21:020:21:04

-Which way are you going?

-I'll keep my eye on you.

0:21:040:21:06

-I'll keep my eye on you, as well.

-You go that way.

-OK.

0:21:060:21:09

I love jewellery cabinets like this.

0:21:150:21:18

It's all a jumble.

0:21:180:21:21

And you always think that you can find something

0:21:210:21:23

which is absolutely perfect to buy.

0:21:230:21:26

We're going to Edinburgh, so I have to be mindful of that.

0:21:260:21:29

And I found this lovely Scottish pebble brooch.

0:21:290:21:34

Now, these brooches would have been made in Edinburgh, in the 1800s.

0:21:340:21:40

Queen Victoria loved Scotland,

0:21:400:21:43

and she made this type of jewellery very, very popular.

0:21:430:21:47

Now, these stones here...

0:21:470:21:49

..are made from pebbles

0:21:510:21:53

which have been found on the beaches and the burns of Scotland.

0:21:530:21:58

But it's got 65 on it.

0:21:580:22:01

Although I like it a lot, I don't know though if I like it for £65.

0:22:010:22:06

Keep looking then. Now, what's Charles up to?

0:22:060:22:09

Look out.

0:22:090:22:10

HE BLOWS

0:22:100:22:12

Charles, should you really be standing on that chair?

0:22:120:22:15

It's a lovely tea caddy.

0:22:160:22:18

It's what you call Egg and Dart moulding.

0:22:180:22:20

And Egg and Dart moulding was wonderful,

0:22:200:22:23

neoclassical ornamentation,

0:22:230:22:25

which then went into the Regency period as well.

0:22:250:22:27

And this tea caddy...

0:22:270:22:28

..in its... Sorry.

0:22:300:22:32

In its sarcophagus form, on the bun feet, would date to around 1820.

0:22:320:22:37

By 1820, we first saw Indian tea coming into the UK,

0:22:370:22:42

so tea caddies became bigger,

0:22:420:22:44

as drinking tea became more of a middle-class commodity.

0:22:440:22:48

I like it. But it's £85.

0:22:480:22:51

It's too much money.

0:22:510:22:52

Meanwhile, time waits for no man.

0:22:520:22:55

-Or woman.

-I love this clock.

0:22:550:22:57

When I saw it, I fell in love with it.

0:22:570:23:00

But I know... I'm a Glasgow girl, I'm a Glasgow girl.

0:23:000:23:04

This was made by a Glasgow girl.

0:23:040:23:07

It's a stunning clock, Anita.

0:23:070:23:09

Hear that chime.

0:23:090:23:10

-CLOCK CHIMES

-Look. Silence.

0:23:100:23:12

It's that one, the other one chiming!

0:23:120:23:13

But that facade, Anita.

0:23:130:23:15

I mean, it looks at you, and I think,

0:23:150:23:17

"What two amazing-looking Scottish faces together."

0:23:170:23:20

-Shut up!

-Sorry, sorry, but don't you agree?

0:23:200:23:23

Colin, ignore Charlie.

0:23:240:23:27

When I walked into the shop, this was the first thing that I saw.

0:23:270:23:32

This clock is typical of the style of Art Nouveau design,

0:23:320:23:35

which flourished in Glasgow at the turn of the 20th century,

0:23:350:23:39

and which often incorporated Celtic motifs.

0:23:390:23:42

These artworks are highly prized, and likely to do well at auction

0:23:420:23:46

-according to Anita.

-I'm frightened to ask how much it costs.

0:23:460:23:51

I've got 285 on it.

0:23:510:23:52

I would give you all the money that I have to spend, £170.38.

0:23:520:23:58

And if you left me 38p,

0:24:000:24:03

I would buy that clock, and that's me blowing my whole budget.

0:24:030:24:08

And I've never done that before.

0:24:080:24:10

But it would be a lovely thing for me to buy.

0:24:100:24:13

I'd sell it to her, quick.

0:24:130:24:14

It's singing at me.

0:24:140:24:15

Oh, thank you, very much.

0:24:180:24:19

I'm so pleased. Thank you, Colin.

0:24:190:24:22

Aw. Thank you, very much.

0:24:220:24:24

There you go.

0:24:240:24:25

Thank you very much. Oh, that's lovely.

0:24:250:24:28

I hope you do well with it.

0:24:280:24:29

Well, it sure had your name on it, Anita.

0:24:290:24:32

Lovely, thank you very much.

0:24:320:24:33

Excellent. It was terrific.

0:24:330:24:35

But I've still got this 38p.

0:24:350:24:38

And I couldn't find anything for 38p.

0:24:380:24:41

I'll tell you what, put your money in there.

0:24:410:24:43

Right.

0:24:430:24:44

That's it. 38p.

0:24:440:24:46

Don't say I didn't give you owt.

0:24:460:24:49

Thank you very much.

0:24:490:24:50

-That's great.

-Well, that was generous, Colin.

0:24:500:24:54

It's a bucket-shaped match striker and ashtray,

0:24:540:24:58

dating from around 1910.

0:24:580:25:00

So Anita now has five lots for auction.

0:25:000:25:02

Success, then, for Anita.

0:25:050:25:07

But what about our man who seems to have got behind Colin's counter?

0:25:070:25:10

I've just picked up, literally, in the corner,

0:25:110:25:14

in between these two books,

0:25:140:25:15

quite a nice little silver, what appears to be a scent bottle,

0:25:150:25:19

hallmarked late Victorian.

0:25:190:25:22

Out of interest, there's no price on it.

0:25:220:25:24

-How much is that?

-25 quid.

0:25:240:25:26

-How much?

-25.

0:25:260:25:27

Your very best?

0:25:270:25:28

-Give us a 20.

-I've found a little, late Victorian, silver scent bottle,

0:25:300:25:35

we're all happy, put it there.

0:25:350:25:36

-Good man.

-Fancy a wrestle?

0:25:360:25:38

I'm not kissing you!

0:25:390:25:40

Ha-ha-ha!

0:25:400:25:41

And that concludes our very amicable business here.

0:25:410:25:44

-Safe travelling!

-Thank you.

-Bye.

-See you, bye.

-See you, bud!

0:25:440:25:47

Today, the Borders are a place of tranquillity,

0:25:490:25:53

a landscape of rolling hills and farmland, dotted with cattle,

0:25:530:25:57

sheep and antique shops.

0:25:570:25:59

But these lands were once lawless and deadly.

0:25:590:26:02

Anita's in Carlisle, a city buffeted by history,

0:26:020:26:06

because of its position on the border,

0:26:060:26:08

its mighty castle besieged more than any other in Britain.

0:26:080:26:12

Into this chaos rode the border reivers,

0:26:120:26:15

in a reign of terror lasting three centuries.

0:26:150:26:18

David Gopsill at Tullie House Museum

0:26:190:26:22

describes life here in the 13th to 16th centuries.

0:26:220:26:26

For the rich, obviously, it would have been quite comfortable.

0:26:260:26:31

And, unfortunately, for the poor, it was a very difficult time.

0:26:310:26:36

It was a war zone.

0:26:360:26:37

The whole area was just trodden down by passing armies,

0:26:370:26:41

and, of course, if England invaded Scotland,

0:26:410:26:44

or Scotland invaded England,

0:26:440:26:46

the first areas that would be hit would be the Borders.

0:26:460:26:48

The reivers came from both sides of the border,

0:26:480:26:51

families with names like Armstrong, Johnson, Hetherington and Graham.

0:26:510:26:56

Taking advantage of political chaos,

0:26:560:26:58

they donned their steel bonnets and plundered,

0:26:580:27:01

and feuded to the death with their neighbours.

0:27:010:27:03

They also would hold protection rackets against people, or places.

0:27:030:27:08

And the reivers are actually where we get the term blackmail from.

0:27:080:27:13

So in those days,

0:27:130:27:14

the green mail was the rent you would pay to your land owner,

0:27:140:27:17

and the blackmail would be paid to the people

0:27:170:27:19

you were trying to protect yourself from.

0:27:190:27:22

The rugged terrain of this war zone

0:27:220:27:25

provided a training ground for these expert cattle-rustling bandits.

0:27:250:27:28

They were excellent horsemen, incredibly skilled.

0:27:290:27:32

They were actually called the finest light cavalry in all of Europe,

0:27:320:27:36

for their time, which is incredible.

0:27:360:27:39

They would obviously have a rapier,

0:27:390:27:42

a lance would be quite popular in those days,

0:27:420:27:46

and they would use this, and a very small horse,

0:27:460:27:49

to pick their way across the Fells, and appear in the cover of darkness,

0:27:490:27:55

murder, pillage, and disappear back into the darkness.

0:27:550:28:00

Borderers lived, year in, year out, with the threat of being reived,

0:28:000:28:04

and that's where our word "bereaved" comes from.

0:28:040:28:07

Those who had most to lose were the best able to defend themselves.

0:28:070:28:12

If you had a bit of wealth,

0:28:120:28:13

you might have what's called a bastle house.

0:28:130:28:15

That would be a fortified house.

0:28:150:28:17

The walls would be quite thick, and they'd be up to seven metres tall.

0:28:170:28:21

You'd have a large basement underneath, to hide your cattle.

0:28:210:28:25

That sounds almost like a castle.

0:28:250:28:27

It does. But it doesn't even hold a torch up

0:28:270:28:30

to the peel towers of the day.

0:28:300:28:32

So a peel tower is a large, fortified tower that had a barmekin,

0:28:320:28:37

which is an outside wall that would protect a small area,

0:28:370:28:40

like a courtyard. And then there would be the tower,

0:28:400:28:43

which would be up to 19 metres tall.

0:28:430:28:45

Walls about three metres thick.

0:28:450:28:47

That would really protect you against any reiving attacks.

0:28:470:28:50

It sounds like dreadful times.

0:28:500:28:53

Was there nothing put in place to stop this lawlessness?

0:28:530:28:57

The monarchs of both England and Scotland tried to stop it

0:28:570:29:00

using Wardens of the Marches,

0:29:000:29:02

and these wardens were a bit like the police of the time.

0:29:020:29:05

Unfortunately, a lot of these wardens were locals,

0:29:050:29:08

so a lot of them either had ties to the reiving families,

0:29:080:29:11

or were in fact reivers themselves.

0:29:110:29:13

So it didn't really help much,

0:29:130:29:15

because you were giving a lot more power to a border reiving family,

0:29:150:29:19

and they could use that to their own gain.

0:29:190:29:21

In 1603, when James VI of Scotland inherited the throne of England,

0:29:210:29:26

this union of the crowns brought some peace

0:29:260:29:29

to Anglo-Scottish relations.

0:29:290:29:31

Reivers were outlawed, and banished,

0:29:310:29:34

leaving behind stories sung in border ballads,

0:29:340:29:37

and the towers they attacked and defended in those violent times.

0:29:370:29:41

Charles is wending his way now to Maryport, on the Solway Firth,

0:29:440:29:48

where a fort once guarded the Roman sea defences west of Hadrian's wall.

0:29:480:29:53

It's Charles's last shop, so what's he after?

0:29:530:29:57

I'm looking for that next big thing in antiquing terms, it's that rare,

0:29:570:30:03

Ming vase, or important undiscovered Faberge.

0:30:030:30:07

It's out there.

0:30:070:30:08

-I just need some luck.

-Faberge and Ming, eh?

0:30:080:30:12

That might require more of a miracle than just luck!

0:30:120:30:15

But maybe miracles are the order of the day at Maryport Antiques.

0:30:150:30:20

Good day.

0:30:200:30:22

How are you? Is it your shop?

0:30:220:30:23

-Yes.

-Your name is?

0:30:230:30:25

-Ben.

-What a lovely shop.

0:30:250:30:27

Now for that Ming vase, Charles?

0:30:270:30:29

-Oh!

-Butterfingers.

0:30:320:30:35

Come on, man, focus!

0:30:350:30:37

-What's this?

-That's just a pot.

0:30:370:30:41

It's peculiar.

0:30:410:30:42

We're trying to identify it.

0:30:420:30:45

-How much could it be? How much could it be?

-£100.

0:30:450:30:49

-OK.

-We've got this, incise, what we might call grafito decoration

0:30:490:30:53

which, in style, is quite difficult to date.

0:30:530:30:57

It could be oriental.

0:30:570:30:59

Could be African.

0:30:590:31:00

The lid, almost when one picks it up, you think,

0:31:000:31:05

"Is it lead?" It looks like lead, but it's not.

0:31:050:31:08

Again, it's just a really coarse earthenware...

0:31:080:31:11

..body.

0:31:130:31:14

This pot could date from as far back as the 16th century.

0:31:140:31:19

And its geometric pattern suggests

0:31:190:31:21

it's probably of South American origin.

0:31:210:31:23

Best price would be?

0:31:230:31:24

-100?

-I think best price would be 100 on that, yeah.

0:31:260:31:30

And that's what you call the death, isn't it?

0:31:300:31:31

Yeah, I'm afraid so.

0:31:310:31:33

That's OK. Yeah.

0:31:330:31:35

Well, it might kill me.

0:31:350:31:36

-I'll take it.

-OK, fantastic.

0:31:410:31:43

Very decisive.

0:31:440:31:46

-Anything else?

-I quite like...

0:31:460:31:48

..this little small dog.

0:31:510:31:53

It's just sitting, isn't it, Ben, lurking?

0:31:530:31:56

Your little guard dog.

0:31:560:31:58

It's a very little guard dog.

0:31:580:32:00

On your top deck, it's quite a sweet, what we call a toy.

0:32:000:32:04

Staffordshire porcelain toy.

0:32:040:32:06

Probably 19th century. How much is that?

0:32:070:32:09

I think I could probably do that for £15?

0:32:090:32:13

-15?

-If you found anything else I could maybe do a little bit.

0:32:130:32:16

There's one thing I've seen when I walked into the front,

0:32:160:32:18

so if I put him down there.

0:32:180:32:20

If I go and get it, maybe we can do a deal.

0:32:200:32:22

Yeah, of course.

0:32:220:32:24

What is it? A Faberge egg?

0:32:240:32:27

It's not quite lights out yet.

0:32:270:32:29

But, of course, back in the Victorian times,

0:32:290:32:31

you had a chamber stick.

0:32:310:32:33

-Yes.

-I just quite like this, because it's only £5.

0:32:330:32:38

Age-wise, we're talking 1860.

0:32:380:32:40

And what's lovely, it's all hand-painted.

0:32:400:32:43

All hand-painted.

0:32:430:32:44

These wonderful, busy, vibrant sprays of flowers.

0:32:440:32:48

What we call a dentil gilt rim.

0:32:480:32:51

Yes, it's got a crack.

0:32:510:32:53

It's a shame, just on the sconce there, there's a small crack.

0:32:530:32:56

I'm an... I like buying objects, because, to me, it's a survivor.

0:32:560:33:01

So, Ben, If I bought the chamber stick in porcelain Staffordshire,

0:33:010:33:05

and I bought the King Charles spaniel with it as well,

0:33:050:33:10

what could be the best price?

0:33:100:33:11

-I'd do it for 12.

-Are you sure?

0:33:120:33:14

-I'll do it for 12.

-Is there money in it for you, though, on that?

0:33:140:33:16

-Yes.

-That's five for the chamber stick, and 12 for the dog,

0:33:160:33:21

and with the pot, Charles is handing over £117.

0:33:210:33:25

And that's him done.

0:33:260:33:29

-Take care.

-Until next time.

-And you.

0:33:290:33:30

Bye-bye.

0:33:300:33:32

Bye-bye, Maryport.

0:33:320:33:34

Time to collect our other priceless prize, Anita, and hit the trail.

0:33:340:33:39

What's the direction of travel?

0:33:390:33:41

Let's get to the end of this road,

0:33:410:33:42

and see if we can see a signpost that says, "To the north."

0:33:420:33:46

Exactly, Anita.

0:33:460:33:48

It's that simple.

0:33:480:33:49

The North, here we come.

0:33:490:33:51

Back over the border soon enough, after some shut-eye, eh?

0:33:510:33:54

Auction Day has dawned, and the stage is set at Rosewell,

0:33:570:34:01

a former mining village south of Edinburgh,

0:34:010:34:03

where our irrepressible pair are leading us

0:34:030:34:06

a merry Scottish country dance.

0:34:060:34:09

-BOTH:

-Heel, toe, heel, toe, gallop, gallop, gallop.

0:34:090:34:12

We're here, Charlie.

0:34:120:34:14

As if by magic, Anita and Charles took the B road

0:34:140:34:17

from Keswick on a scenic tour of the lakes,

0:34:170:34:19

before crossing the Scottish border and heading for Rosewell.

0:34:190:34:23

Our saleroom today is Thomson Roddick, a family firm,

0:34:230:34:27

which has been gavel-bashing hereabouts since 1880.

0:34:270:34:30

Anita blew her entire budget of £317.38 on five lots.

0:34:320:34:39

Charles, who is also very nearly cleaned out,

0:34:390:34:42

spending £212 on his five lots.

0:34:420:34:46

So, what do they think, honestly?

0:34:460:34:49

This is an old crackpot.

0:34:490:34:51

And Charlie loves his old crackpots.

0:34:510:34:54

But this pot could be something very special.

0:34:540:34:58

Over 300 years old, probably South American.

0:34:580:35:01

There will be buyers out there who are anxious to get a hold of that.

0:35:010:35:05

Crackpot indeed, eh?

0:35:050:35:07

This clock looked amazing in the shop,

0:35:070:35:09

and Anita, you've hit the jackpot.

0:35:090:35:11

It just captures everything you want from the organic, sinuous lines

0:35:110:35:15

of the Glaswegian School of handicraft, to the numerals.

0:35:150:35:20

I cannot believe it was under £200.

0:35:200:35:24

Time will tell, then.

0:35:240:35:26

Now, what does auctioneer Sybelle Thomson

0:35:260:35:28

think about what Charles and Anita have bought?

0:35:280:35:30

Lots of interest in the skeleton.

0:35:300:35:33

Just a shame it's headless.

0:35:330:35:34

But I think it will do really well here.

0:35:340:35:36

The napkin ring and the silver sewing case -

0:35:360:35:38

these are always popular.

0:35:380:35:40

And particularly will do well in Edinburgh,

0:35:400:35:42

as there's lots of collectors for pieces

0:35:420:35:44

set with Scottish hard stone.

0:35:440:35:46

Please be seated.

0:35:460:35:47

I'm looking forward to this, Charlie.

0:35:470:35:50

There's a really busy feeling of vibrancy.

0:35:500:35:55

First up, and standing to attention, is Anita's skeleton.

0:35:550:35:58

Don't lose your head here. Ooh!

0:35:580:36:00

Somebody did!

0:36:000:36:02

£35, 35, 35, 40, five.

0:36:020:36:06

-It's moving.

-50, five. 55.

-Slow down!

0:36:060:36:08

Anyone else? 60. five,

0:36:080:36:10

70. Five, 80.

0:36:100:36:12

I don't believe this!

0:36:120:36:14

Standing at 80.

0:36:140:36:15

Five, 90.

0:36:150:36:18

Five. £100?

0:36:180:36:19

Standing at the back, at £100.

0:36:190:36:21

Anyone else? Going on at £100.

0:36:210:36:25

A meaty £35 profit on the bones.

0:36:250:36:28

It doesn't seem a lot, that, to me.

0:36:280:36:29

-I can't believe that!

-Has it put me A HEAD?

0:36:290:36:32

CHARLES LAUGHS

0:36:320:36:35

Next up, Charles' Indian silver bowl.

0:36:350:36:38

20, five. 25? 30.

0:36:380:36:42

Going on the internet, 35.

0:36:420:36:44

-Come on, internet.

-35, 40.

0:36:440:36:46

£40. 45, on commission at 45.

0:36:460:36:50

You are all out on the internet?

0:36:500:36:52

At £45?

0:36:520:36:55

A profit of £5 sterling to you, sir.

0:36:550:36:57

It wasn't bad, Charlie.

0:36:580:37:00

Anita, I'm a happy man.

0:37:000:37:02

Anita's oak and silver-plated salt dishes now.

0:37:020:37:05

Can they serve up a profit?

0:37:050:37:06

We start straight in at 20 bid.

0:37:060:37:08

20 bid? Everywhere, 25?

0:37:080:37:11

-30, five, 40...

-Where's the American wave?

0:37:110:37:13

..five, 50, five, 55.

0:37:130:37:16

60?

0:37:160:37:17

-You're in business, girl.

-65?

0:37:170:37:20

The gentleman seated at 65.

0:37:200:37:22

70 online.

0:37:220:37:23

-Yes!

-70.

0:37:230:37:25

-70? 70?

-LAUGHTER

0:37:250:37:28

Would you like another, sir? Don't be put off.

0:37:280:37:31

75, in the room at 75.

0:37:310:37:33

At £75.

0:37:330:37:36

Another £20 profit in Anita's pocket.

0:37:360:37:40

That's what they call a good touch.

0:37:400:37:42

-Touch me.

-Thank you, very much.

0:37:420:37:44

Ha-ha! So will Lady Luck help Charles with his next lot,

0:37:440:37:47

the Scottish hard stone inset napkin ring,

0:37:470:37:50

and the silver-plated and enamel sewing case?

0:37:500:37:53

40, five, 50, five...

0:37:530:37:55

-Go on, girl.

-Yes! Yes!

-60, five.

0:37:550:37:57

65, 70.

0:37:570:38:00

-75? 80. Five. 90.

-Keep going, lass.

0:38:000:38:04

Five. At £95?

0:38:040:38:08

£60-worth of good fortune there.

0:38:080:38:11

Nice one, Charles.

0:38:110:38:12

-That's good, isn't it?

-Brilliant, Charlie, brilliant.

0:38:120:38:16

I feel a bit sweaty now! I'm excited. Sorry.

0:38:160:38:19

Time now for Anita's white metal modernist candlesticks.

0:38:190:38:23

20? I've got 20 bid.

0:38:230:38:24

20? 25.

0:38:240:38:26

25?

0:38:260:38:27

30, five, 40, five.

0:38:270:38:29

Here we go. We're rolling home.

0:38:290:38:31

-They're angry.

-Five, 55.

0:38:310:38:34

At £55? At £55.

0:38:340:38:38

Anita's done it again.

0:38:380:38:40

She's doubled her money. What a girl!

0:38:400:38:42

When you've got it, Anita, you've got it, girl.

0:38:420:38:44

Loving your work.

0:38:450:38:47

You're not doing too badly yourself, Charles.

0:38:470:38:50

Next up, it's his silver scent bottle.

0:38:500:38:53

20, five.

0:38:530:38:54

30, five.

0:38:540:38:55

40, five.

0:38:550:38:57

45, 50 online. 55?

0:38:570:39:01

Anyone else going on at £55?

0:39:010:39:05

Another profit there, our duo definitely on a roll today.

0:39:050:39:10

Brilliant, Charlie, brilliant.

0:39:100:39:11

Breathe it in, Anita, breathe it in.

0:39:110:39:14

Breathe the sweet smell of success.

0:39:140:39:17

Exactly, Anita, exactly.

0:39:170:39:19

Easy for you to say.

0:39:190:39:20

Ha-ha!

0:39:200:39:21

Now one of the cheapest items ever bought on the Antiques Road Trip.

0:39:210:39:25

The brass bucket Anita bought for 38p.

0:39:250:39:30

£10. 15? 20. 20?

0:39:300:39:34

In the centre at 20?

0:39:340:39:35

Anyone else going on for the match striker at 20?

0:39:350:39:39

At £20?

0:39:390:39:42

£20, that's a profit of 5,263%.

0:39:420:39:47

Oh, yes, I calculated that in my head!

0:39:470:39:50

Liar.

0:39:500:39:51

If you could buy a few of those for 38p,

0:39:510:39:54

and then toss them in for a £20 note,

0:39:540:39:56

-incredible business, Anita Manning.

-I know.

0:39:560:39:59

Can the next lot,

0:39:590:40:01

the Staffordshire porcelain candlestick

0:40:010:40:02

and the King Charles spaniel top that?

0:40:020:40:05

£10?

0:40:050:40:06

I've got ten bid.

0:40:060:40:08

15? I5.

0:40:080:40:09

20?

0:40:090:40:10

25?

0:40:100:40:11

25, are you bidding?

0:40:110:40:13

-30.

-Thank you very much!

0:40:130:40:15

-Thank you!

-£30.

0:40:150:40:16

Thank you, thank you.

0:40:160:40:18

On the right at 30. Anyone else going on at £30?

0:40:180:40:23

Nice work, china!

0:40:230:40:25

That's great. Very happy.

0:40:250:40:27

Now, will time be kind to our Glasgow gal

0:40:270:40:30

and her brass-faced clock?

0:40:300:40:33

100 for the nice clock?

0:40:330:40:35

-At 100? 110.

-It's going to roll.

0:40:350:40:36

120. 130.

0:40:360:40:38

140. 150.

0:40:380:40:40

160, 170, 180.

0:40:400:40:44

190, 200. 210.

0:40:440:40:47

I have to have another, sir. 220.

0:40:470:40:49

230. 240. 250.

0:40:490:40:53

Anyone else going on at £250?

0:40:530:40:58

£80 profit for Anita.

0:40:580:41:01

There's no stopping her today.

0:41:010:41:03

That was exciting, though, wasn't it?

0:41:030:41:05

Anita, you're flying. You are flying high.

0:41:050:41:08

Charles' last lot now,

0:41:080:41:10

the earthenware jar and cover. Old and mysterious -

0:41:100:41:13

will it be auction gold?

0:41:130:41:16

Quite a lot of interest in this, and I can start straight in at 30 bid.

0:41:160:41:20

30 bid? 30 bid.

0:41:200:41:22

-30 bid.

-It's going to run off, or...

0:41:220:41:24

At 30, five.

0:41:240:41:26

40, five.

0:41:260:41:27

50, five. 60, five.

0:41:270:41:30

65.

0:41:300:41:32

Anyone else going on at 65?

0:41:320:41:34

70, five.

0:41:340:41:37

80, five.

0:41:370:41:39

90, five, 95.

0:41:390:41:42

Selling on commission at 95?

0:41:420:41:44

At £95?

0:41:440:41:47

So close!

0:41:470:41:49

But all their other items today HAVE turned a profit.

0:41:490:41:53

We had great results.

0:41:530:41:54

-Wonderful. Moments.

-We had great fun.

0:41:540:41:56

We're both exhausted with the excitement.

0:41:560:41:59

Now it's time to have a nice cup of tea.

0:41:590:42:01

-On you go.

-Give me a push.

0:42:010:42:03

You deserve refreshment, you two.

0:42:050:42:08

Charles started with £217.34 in his piggy,

0:42:080:42:12

and his success in the saleroom increased his tally,

0:42:120:42:15

after auction costs,

0:42:150:42:17

by £50.40 to £267.74.

0:42:170:42:22

So, well done, Carlos.

0:42:220:42:23

Anita began with £317.38

0:42:250:42:29

and she soared away in Rosewell with a profit,

0:42:290:42:33

after auction costs, of £92.62

0:42:330:42:36

so with a new total of £410,

0:42:360:42:40

she is leading the dance again.

0:42:400:42:42

That was brilliant.

0:42:430:42:45

-Absolutely brilliant.

-Over the moon.

-We both made money.

0:42:450:42:48

Exactly, now, listen, give me a Highland Fling.

0:42:480:42:50

Jig for joy.

0:42:500:42:51

-Jig for joy.

-Jig for joy?

0:42:510:42:53

Catch her if you can, Charles.

0:42:530:42:56

And they are still game next time on Antiques Road Trip.

0:42:560:42:59

-It can be a bit like Snakes and Ladders.

-Ssss.

0:43:000:43:04

You can go up, and you can come down.

0:43:040:43:08

Charles certainly gets down with some moves all of his own...

0:43:080:43:12

-Like that.

-..while Anita channels her inner Chris Hoy.

0:43:120:43:16

Oh, Charlie can keep the Stag!

0:43:160:43:19

SHE LAUGHS

0:43:190:43:21

Dear, oh, dear.

0:43:210:43:22

Cheerio, chaps.
