0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts, with £200 each,
0:00:05 > 0:00:06a classic car
0:00:06 > 0:00:09and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11That hurts.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22So much!
0:00:22 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory or slow road to disaster?
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40It's the start of a new road trip, so let's meet our treasure hunters.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47David Barby first became interested in antiques at the age of 12!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50And now he'll do anything for a bargain.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- I say!- That's- £2. Thank you.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56He's known by his colleagues as The Master.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Beryl, look in my eyes. 22.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02And here's his travelling companion, Margie Cooper.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Afternoon.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Margie comes from a long line of antique dealers.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10She loves a bargain but she doesn't always have a plan.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15I've absolutely no idea what his game plan is. I'm just worrying about mine.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21David and Margie both have £200 each to spend
0:01:21 > 0:01:26and they're cruising along in a retro 1979 Mercedes 350 SL.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Margie has fond memories of the classic car.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33So, do you remember Dallas, David?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I remember Dallas with Joan Collins.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37No, she was in Dinasty.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Don't you mean Dynasty?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41This was the iconic car that Bobby owned.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Bobby was JR's brother. - Right, right.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47So, as our very own Sue Ellen and JR hit the open road,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51let's hope oil's well that ends well!
0:01:55 > 0:01:59The route for the road trip takes our intrepid travellers
0:01:59 > 0:02:01from Alnwick in Northumberland
0:02:01 > 0:02:02through the beautiful English countryside
0:02:02 > 0:02:06to the final destination of Lincoln, 200 miles away.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10This leg begins in Alnwick
0:02:10 > 0:02:14and ends up 90 miles due south in Leyburn, North Yorkshire.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17So, first up is historic Alnwick.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24This picturesque market town dates back to 600AD
0:02:24 > 0:02:28and was a staging post on the Great North Road between London and Edinburgh.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31But taking centre stage is the magical Alnwick Castle,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34star of the Harry Potter films.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39- I always thought it was a mock-up, but it isn't, is it? It's here. - No, no, no.- That's incredible.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Just look at it. Splendid. - It really is very good.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44It's certainly cast a spell on our experts.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47The first stop for Margie is nearby Alnwick Lodge.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51What a fabulous place!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Now this looks the sort of place where there's hidden treasures.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Do you think so?- Don't forget your handbag with all that money.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- See you!- Bye.- Bye.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Now, this looks interesting. I'm excited.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09This exquisite emporium has been owned by Peter Smith since 1978.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Hi!- Good morning. - Peter, good morning.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I quite like that. It isn't Worcester, but it looks just like Worcester.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I think it's, sort of, like 1900, isn't it?
0:03:20 > 0:03:221900s, 1920?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I'm just impressed by the quality of the painting.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I like that. It would be nice if that was a little Worcester cup,
0:03:29 > 0:03:33because that would go for, like, £20 or £30. And it's only a fiver.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37What's David going to say if I show him that? Is he going to laugh?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39He probably is.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Stop worrying about what David might say. It's only a fiver.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45But it could be cheaper, couldn't it? £5.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47£4? £4.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I can't argue with you, can I?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- It's very beautiful.- But it's not going to set the world on fire.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56So you've said four, yeah?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58£3.50. My final offer.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Look, I'm not going to argue with you. £3.50's fine.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Just up the road at the antiques centre,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06David also has his eye on a rather special mug.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12This is a political election victory mug,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14which is quite rare.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19The great contest at Alnwick, which is interesting, this is where we are.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22"The choice of the people and Northumberlands."
0:04:22 > 0:04:25But what an interesting piece.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28How much is that? £38.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Mm. I like that.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I feel a deal coming on.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- What's the value on that? What's your very best price?- Oh, gosh.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43But will David be able to work his magic on Beryl?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- It's got to be quite cheap, actually.- Yeah. 20?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I think the condition goes against it, really,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51but it's an interesting piece because of its local history.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Oh...15. And that's it. - That's the lowest, is it?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Yeah.- OK.- Because I've only put it in this morning.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Have you really?- Yes, yeah.
0:04:59 > 0:05:05Well, no point in rushing a decision when there's some enticing pieces of Staffordshire nearby.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Is that £15 the pair?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Well, I suppose to you, yes.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12But anybody else, no.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14They don't sell, do they?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16That's the trouble with Staffordshire at the moment.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Such a shame. - Well, we seem to sell them.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- Do you really?- We've only got those. We haven't got any more cos we've sold the rest.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24So, these are the rejects?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Cheeky.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Well, no, those are something else that's come in this morning.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Do you want to think about it? I'll put them aside.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38- OK.- Right.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- I'll put them in the office. - Lovely. Thank you very much.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Well, he's not the only one getting excited.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50See, that catches my eye. I really like Imari porcelain.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53You know, the blues and the lovely colours.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Let's just have a look. Really pretty.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01Imari porcelain was made in Japan and extensively exported
0:06:01 > 0:06:06via the port of Imari between the 17th and 20th centuries.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08It's £10?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10You said £8 on it.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13It's going to have to be five.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Otherwise, I don't think there's any point in me trying.
0:06:17 > 0:06:195.50?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21You love your 50ps, don't you?
0:06:21 > 0:06:245.50, you're on.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Thank you.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Right. After all that, I owe you £9.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32£9. Not bad for a cracked plate and a teacup.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34So, off to find David.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I hardly dare tell him what I've bought.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40He'd better not laugh.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Laugh? David's far too busy for that.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46He's now got his eye on a copper coal scuttle
0:06:46 > 0:06:49and has stallholder Annie in his sights.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- 75.- Ooph!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Can you go down to 40?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57No, no. No way, no.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02- 50. Sorry.- Could you split the difference between 40 and 50? 45.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Go on then, 45.- 45, yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Thank you.- Thank you very much indeed.- Thank you.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Looks like he's not finished yet, though.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Here comes that cracked tankard and the Staffordshire figures.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17You've told me I can have those at 15. I hoped for ten but...
0:07:17 > 0:07:21No, it's got to be... They've got to be 15 each.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Those for 15 and that for 15, that's 30.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27That's the worrying one, actually.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- I think you're... - Could you do them for 20, please?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Well, I think that's a bit...
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- 25, OK? - Can we split the difference at 22?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- No.- 22.- 25.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Beryl, look in my eyes. 22, 22.
0:07:40 > 0:07:4125.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Go on then, being as it's you, yeah.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49The master of seduction. That hypnotic stare has worked a charm.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Meanwhile, back in the old jalopy,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Margie has driven 30 miles south to Newcastle.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Right. We're here.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Margie's next shop is the Fern Avenue Antique Centre,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05run by Giuseppe Anthony.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06What's this?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09These do well.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- It's a dough bowl.- Yeah.- Eastern European, for mixing the dough,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16come in various sizes.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Made out of a single piece of wood, in this case sycamore,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23and, after being hollowed out, the giant bowls were used to mix dough in.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28That's cheap and cheerful. £38, which doesn't sound very dear.
0:08:28 > 0:08:3035 quid and it's for nothing.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- 35. You've knocked three quid off. - Yeah.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36You've put sycamore there.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I'm syca-you!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- I don't blame you. I'm sick of myself.- No.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Come on, can it be, like...?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Can it be what?- Can it be 25 quid?
0:08:45 > 0:08:46No, it can't be 25.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49£32, but that is the bottom line.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Don't even think about bidding me. - Really?- Yeah.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Cos I'd offend you?- I wouldn't be offended but you'll just get a "no".
0:08:57 > 0:08:59£32, it's not a lot of money.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- We'll have it.- Right?- Yeah.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05So that's one, two, three, £40.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Thank you very much.- Lovely. Great.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- The strategy's not working. - You're not wrong there.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Wasn't the idea to buy boldly?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Never mind, there's still time.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Sunderland beckons.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Founded in 1179 at the mouth of the River Wear,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Sunderland grew from a humble fishing village
0:09:33 > 0:09:37to become a thriving port, trading coal and salt.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41SPOOKY MOAN
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Oh, my goodness. It's the head of a giraffe, isn't it?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52It says, "Please do not touch".
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Oi, can't you read?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Yeah, it is.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58A weird and wonderful shop. Right, let's have a look round.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- I'm a bit fascinated by your giraffe.- Hello.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03This strange curiosity shop belongs to David Whitfield,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05who is giraffe-daft.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Have a look round. Just help yourself. Feel free.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Right. That's an interesting piece of wood, isn't it, your baluster here?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Er, newel post.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- So what did you say, darling?- £60.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20And that's the least?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- £40.- Oh, done it.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- OK.- That's terrific. Oh, I love it. Love it, love it, love it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I think we got the message.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Thank you so much.- Thank you, Margie. Lovely meeting you. - And you, too.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Time for our experts to head south and it's David in the driving seat.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41The thing that I'm worried about is it's automatic.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I have never driven an automatic before.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Now he tells us. - I feel as though I should be doing something with the left leg.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Just leave your left leg alone. Give it a rest.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54These two are turning into a right old married couple.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Before he gets down to more shopping,
0:10:56 > 0:11:00David is making a detour to Weardale in County Durham
0:11:00 > 0:11:03to drop Margie off for a royal appointment.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Well, here we are. - Now, you have a good day.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- I will do so. - Don't buy anything special.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- That's a good start.- Margie is here to meet Anita Atkinson.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Union Jack mad.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18A loyal subject with a right royal passion.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Anita!- Hello. You made it. Margie Cooper.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- I have made it. - Pleased to meet you. Come on in.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Would you please be upstanding
0:11:24 > 0:11:28for Anita's enormous collection of royal memorabilia.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Oh, my goodness me.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33This is some of it.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Gosh, so when did you start all this?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I think my collection really took off in Silver Jubilee year
0:11:38 > 0:11:42because that was the first big occasion of my lifetime.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I've now got over 5,000.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50Anita used to be the world record holder for the largest collection but she recently lost her crown.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I'm not bothered about it at all.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55In fact, I'm over the moon that there's someone else as daft as me.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- I can show you my oldest piece, if you'd like to see that. - I'd particularly like to see that.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Because the collection starts at Queen Victoria's coronation.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05This is actually an original newspaper
0:12:05 > 0:12:09and it's the coronation edition of the Sun,
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- June 28th 1838. - That is a lovely thing to have.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16The whole country was rejoicing, of course, because, you know,
0:12:16 > 0:12:21this young queen, 18 years old, she was a teenager and the first female monarch for 100 years.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Yeah.- And I think they had been a bit fed up with old men.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28That's a really fabulous piece of memorabilia.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32And from the oldest piece in the collection to one of the newest.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34What's going on with this, then?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Well spotted!
0:12:36 > 0:12:41A mug celebrating the wedding of Kate Middleton and, er...
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Prince Harry?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45So who got this wrong then?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Well, the manufacturers.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Off with their heads!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I had to pay £10 for that mug.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Oh, that's funny, isn't it? - I had to get it imported from China.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- See, in 30, 40, 50 years' time... - Yeah. That is unusual.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59That is the royal wedding mug to collect.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02That'll be on the Antiques Road Trip.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Anita's collection is so big that most of it isn't even on display.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- So, here we go.- Yeah, well, there's more up here.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12This is where most of the collection is.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Right.- Up here, in the loft.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20With 36 boxes full, Anita has royals coming out of the rafters.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Don't you find it frustrating to have a lot of your stuff up here?
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- Oh, it is, yeah.- Cos you've probably forgotten half the things that are in here.- Yeah.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- You haven't got the room.- Isn't that awful, Edward VII in the loft?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Yeah, I know.- And there's not many folk can say that.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I've got to get back to my shopping.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I've got to beat this David Barby.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42And he's out now, shopping, and I'm here, up this ladder.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Mind how you go down the ladder. - I certainly will.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Cos that would be an easy win, wouldn't it, if I fell?
0:13:48 > 0:13:49- Bye!- Bye.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53With a right royal wave to Weardale,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56David has driven on to Durham.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05In Durham's indoor market, it seems David has also caught the royal bug.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Oh, dear.- Now, isn't that fun?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Isn't that fun?
0:14:10 > 0:14:14This is a cameo portrait of the Duke of Edinburgh and Elizabeth.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Now, this was made by Crown Devon, a very good company.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20So there's loads of local history there.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23That's a very nice pot. I quite like that.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28That's £16. A little bit on the high side but we can come back to that.
0:14:28 > 0:14:34Have a look at these. They're two sailor dolls and they were produced as sort of souvenirs.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36£12.50 each.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39A little bit on the top side.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Sylvia, are these yours?
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Yes. Yes, they are.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47What's the best price you could do on the little dolls?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50What's the best price you could do on them?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Oh, that's asking me to be both buyer and seller.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55£10 each.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58That's still too much, that's £20 for two.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- Are you going to stare at me for ages then?- No, I'm not.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03I wouldn't bet on it.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- 15, final, final offer. - For the two?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Yes.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13They're jolly cheeky chappies, aren't they?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Will you take £10 for the two?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20£12.50, that's it.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25(£10.)
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Oh, go on, £10.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Whoever would have guessed that David had a thing for sailors?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I think they're great fun. Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40With another purchase under his belt, David rejoins Margie
0:15:40 > 0:15:43for their final shopping spree in Richmond.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50Situated on the River Swale, this beautiful little market town
0:15:50 > 0:15:54is dominated by the 11th-century castle, a Mecca for tourists.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Time's running out now. We've only got another few hours.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Well, that's right. I'm getting into a panic situation, very apprehensive,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I just don't know what I'm going to find here.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Richmond has been described as the most romantic town in the North of England.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12But will our experts fall in love with anything else to make them part with their cash?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Best of luck.- And you, too.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- See you.- Bye.- Bye.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Don't worry about parking the car, guys, we'll take care of that.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25David has found his way to Harry Thompson's shop
0:16:25 > 0:16:29and immediately spies a lovely piece of Prattware.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36Oh, my God. This, basically, is a paste pot.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42And, around about sort of 1845, 1850...
0:16:42 > 0:16:46they used to present gentlemen's hair grease ointment
0:16:46 > 0:16:48in plain, white pottery boxes.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52And then somebody suggested, if we put a coloured picture on the top,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54they'd sell more of the product.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- You've got 50 on it.- Well, I know.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00But that doesn't mean it's 50, does it?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02What sort of price would it be?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Do I go up or down?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08No. You go down, you go down.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Can you do it at 20 quid for us?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Would you rob an old pensioner? - Yes.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Look how weary and tired I look like, you know.
0:17:16 > 0:17:1822, Harry, please?
0:17:18 > 0:17:1923.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Or 53, I aren't bothered. 53 or 23.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25- 23.- Oh.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Thank you very much. - Are you going home now?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Oh, no. No, there might be something else lurking around.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I know. That's what's worrying me.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Not something, David, someone.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Look who's lurking at the door.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Am I allowed to, or have you finished?- Yes, come on in.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Let me introduce you to 'Arry. - Oh, right, have you finished?
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Almost, yes.- Hello, Harry. Well, I don't want to disturb you.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49It's all right. I just want him out.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- You got rid of him. - He's robbed me summat rotten.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Has he robbed you? That means he's bought something.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Well, if I stay up here... I'll stay out of your way. I'll just go in here.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00David, he's bought something. Bully for him.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Oh, she's not bitter, that girl.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Come on, Margie, you're in happy Harry's emporium now,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09where there really is something for everyone.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13That's quite interesting. Shelley. Collectable.
0:18:14 > 0:18:151930s.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19You know, it's not amazing, but I think it would sell.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Well, you'd better not dally then cos, down the road,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26David is scenting success with a perfume bottle.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- I like that. - It is nice, that, isn't it?
0:18:30 > 0:18:34So we've got a hinge-top section there,
0:18:34 > 0:18:38with the cork, which I think has been replaced, actually.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41And then this end, which is a screw end...
0:18:43 > 0:18:46..that would have been... Again, you've got a cork stopper.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50And I think that would have been for smelling salts.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55That's got 95 on it, which is a little bit high.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58What's the very best you can do on that?
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Right, well, I'm saying I'm not going to go any lower than 65.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06That's a good drop, a really good drop. 65.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08What about £50?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11No. I'll do you 55.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Can we split the difference at 52, please?
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- (Go on, then.)- 52.- 52, that's it.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24And that's why some people call him The Master.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31This is mild hysteria now because we're on the last knockings.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35What's this? This footman's quite nice, isn't it?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Ooh, God, it's so heavy. - Oh, aye, that's nice.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Brass footman.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Interesting detail on the top.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I don't know enough about it but I quite like it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52In the early 19th century, fireside stools, or footmen like this,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54were used to keep kettles and pans on.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57How much is it?
0:19:57 > 0:19:5865 quid.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03Right, so, if I buy that for a fiver...
0:20:03 > 0:20:06It's that pretty little Shelley bowl.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- ..What would you want for the... - 50.- 50 quid.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Right, because I want to spend my money and because I'm fed up
0:20:17 > 0:20:20and it's too late now to go anywhere else, it's the end of the day.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- I'll tell you what I'll do.- Yeah.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25If you look at it all, give me 45.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- And go.- 45.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Bless you. Harry, you're a star.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33So that's £45 for the bowl and the footman. Deal done.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Well done, happy Harry.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I'm sorry if I've tested your patience.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42You haven't tested my patience. As long as I'm taking some money, I don't care.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47- Charming young ladies like you. - Young ladies? Here's another tenner.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49No, my eyesight's going!
0:20:51 > 0:20:54That's cheered them both up and the shopping's all done.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02David began this leg with £200 and spent £152 on a Prattware pot,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05a scent bottle, two pottery figures together with a tankard,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08two sailor-boy dolls and a copper coal hod.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16Margie also started with £200 but only spent £126 on a footman,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19a porcelain cup paired with an Imari plate,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22a Shelley bowl, a mahogany newel post
0:21:22 > 0:21:25and a sycamore dough bowl, as you do.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30So, let's see what the experts really think of each other's swag.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I think Margie's got quite an eclectic mix there.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38The newel post, if anybody is restoring a house, that is an ideal piece of Victoriana.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Out of the two of us, it is level pegging.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42I think it is old, commemorative.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46It will be really interesting to see what that does.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Because it is so old and it is so damaged,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52that could be a disaster.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I think I might just have the edge.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58From Alnwick it has been an eventful leg of the road trip, but now
0:21:58 > 0:22:02it is on to the auction in Leyburn in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Moment of truth.- Oh, can be told!
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Well, all I can say, Margie, is best of luck.- Thank you very much.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Our experts are doing battle at Tennants,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16one of Yorkshire's most highly regarded auction houses.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19It attracts buyers from around the world, but will David
0:22:19 > 0:22:22and Margie's items have a global appeal?
0:22:22 > 0:22:26First up is David with this pretty, if unfashionable,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28little piece of Prattware.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30£20 I am bid. 30. 30 and you're in.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Any more bidders on this? For the pot, got to sell.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Any more bidders? 40. Against you, sir.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37£40, the lady's bid.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40On my right for the last time, 40'll take it, thank you.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Well done, mate, you've got a profit.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Very nice indeed. Not a big profit but a profit nevertheless.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- I'm always happy once we've made a start.- I know.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Don't worry, you'll make a profit on your footman.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Lot number 73, this 19th-century footman.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58£20 to start me. Bid, 20 at the back.
0:22:58 > 0:23:0130, 40, 50, 60.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Any more bids? Don't want you to lose it for one bid.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05£60'll take it.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Well done.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11That's 20 quid profit, Marjorie.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15So, Margie takes an early lead with a profit on her first piece.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17I'm getting worried now, I'm really getting panicky.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Which is more than can be said for some in this auction room.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Wakey-wakey then, it's time for the next lot,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25David's Victorian glass scent bottle.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- Here we go.- Isn't that lovely?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31What am I going to say, £50 to start for that, 50?
0:23:31 > 0:23:3330, bid. £30. Good scent bottle this.
0:23:33 > 0:23:3640, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39£90 back row, lady's bid.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- 100 if you wish anywhere? £90 right at the back row.- So cheap.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Don't miss it for one bid. With the lady at 90'll take it.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I told you you'd get 80, you got 90.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- Well done.- Thank you very much.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Next, Margie's two pieces of porcelain.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54£20 the starting bid.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Any advance on this? 20. 30. 30 to the lady.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00At £30 at the back. 40 new bidder.
0:24:00 > 0:24:0250. 50 on the back row against you, sir.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06£50 at the moment. Any more bids on that? Going to sell.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07All finished at 50.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I'm coming to this room again!
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I am going to give him a kiss after this. He's brilliant.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Well, what a result, eh?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear. - My nerves are going.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22So are mine.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Now, can David do any better with his Staffordshire pottery figures
0:24:25 > 0:24:27and that cracked commemorative tankard?
0:24:27 > 0:24:2950 bid, thank you, sir.
0:24:29 > 0:24:3250 straight in, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36110, 120, 30, 140,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38150, 160, 170, 180, 190.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Two bid, 220, 240. 240 I am bid.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44All finished at 240.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Well done!
0:24:47 > 0:24:52Well, who would have thought that? A £218 profit on £22 of outlay.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Well done.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Flipping heck, what am I congratulating you for?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Oh, here's me bowl.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00So can the auctioneer wield his magic
0:25:00 > 0:25:03with Margie's pretty £5 Shelley bowl?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- £10 bid on this one, 20, you're in. - It's worth more than that.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07£20 I am bid on the Shelley bowl.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- 30 anywhere? 1930s example as well. - Oh, no.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Bid's there, all finished on the gent's bid, £20.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Well, it's still a tidy profit for such little outlay.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20This interesting newel post.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23The next item could be the answer to Margie's prayers.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26But only if she can salvage a profit from it.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29I'm not sure where the rest of the staircase is.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Have I come late?- You cheeky monkey.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34We'll see anyway. £10 starts me.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37£10 in the room. Shall I sell this? At 10 only.
0:25:37 > 0:25:4015 bid. £20 you're in, sir.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44- 20 against, madam.- Keep going. - Don't miss it for one bid.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- All finished for the post. - Oh, no.- £20'll take it.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Well done, sir. Do you want to take it now?
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Thanks.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Well, he's got an absolute bargain.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Would you believe it? It posted a loss!
0:25:57 > 0:26:00All aboard for David's next lot
0:26:00 > 0:26:03and his slightly scary-looking sailor boys.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Start me at 20, sir. Bid. £20 at the back.
0:26:05 > 0:26:0630, 40.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- 40. Bid's at the back now with 40. - Come on.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Take the five if you want, sir. All finished at £40.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- 40 quid, well, who would've... - Any advance at 40 for the two?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Thank you. £40. - You can't go wrong.- £40.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Who would've thought?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22David's riding on the crest of a wave
0:26:22 > 0:26:25with his two sailor boys and that profit.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28So, if you make a profit on your next lot,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30you've scored on every single one.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Here we are, here we are.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35David's final item is this
0:26:35 > 0:26:37decorative 19th-century copper coal hod.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40But will it set the auction room ablaze?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43£20 bid. Thank you, sir. £20, got a commission bid on this.
0:26:43 > 0:26:4720. Any more bids on this? 20, 30, 40.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49On commission, it's my bid at the moment. One more.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Any advance? £40 and going.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Commission bid.- Oh, what a shame. You've not swept the boards!
0:26:54 > 0:26:57I've lost.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01No need to be a drama queen, David. It's only £5.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Margie may yet have the last laugh.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07She's still got her European dough bowl,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09but will it rise to the occasion
0:27:09 > 0:27:12and give her the bread she needs to win?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15£20 for a good piece of country furniture there.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18£20 surely. Bid, thank you, sir. 20 starting bid.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- 20, 30. 30 front row, 40, 50. - You're in profit.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Frank, one more, sir. £50 I am bid. - It's not enough.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- 60 anywhere for that large bowl? - You're in profit.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- You are in profit. - Don't be condescending.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Aw.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- That's disappointing again. - No, it's not. It's a profit.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Sadly, Margie's dough bowl hasn't risen enough.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40David Barby has triumphed.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- Well, congratulations, do you want to shake my hand?- Yes.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Margie started with £200 and after auction costs
0:27:47 > 0:27:52has increased her spending power to £238.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54David also started with 200
0:27:54 > 0:27:57and with some canny buys he's more than doubled his cash.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59So, after auction costs,
0:27:59 > 0:28:03he has an impressive £417 going into the next leg.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- Oh, Margie, wasn't that good? I really, really enjoyed that. - It certainly was.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- Excuse me.- What? - I thought I was driving?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I'm a little bit concerned in your present state.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Are you going to be in control emotionally?
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- Of course. I'm driving. - Oh, dear. Right, there we go.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Why do I always give way to women?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Ah, well, David might be in the lead
0:28:25 > 0:28:28but it looks like Margie's in charge.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36Eager to be crowned winner of this road trip, David and Margie
0:28:36 > 0:28:40are pressing on with the next leg of their journey in the 1979 Mercedes.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45- I'm anxious to get shopping now. - Yeah.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47I'm really excited, I've got money to spend.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53The route is taking them from Alnwick in Northumberland
0:28:53 > 0:28:55through the beautiful English countryside
0:28:55 > 0:28:59to their final destination of Lincoln, 200 miles away.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02But on this leg, they start off in Barnard Castle, County Durham,
0:29:02 > 0:29:05before winding their way across country
0:29:05 > 0:29:08to the delightful seaside town of Scarborough.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15- I'm not going to say good luck. - Why not?- Because I don't mean it.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Margie has £238 burning a hole in her pocket.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Her first shop is Robson's Antiques, to meet owner Dale.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- Margie.- Hello, Margie, nice to meet you.- You too.
0:29:28 > 0:29:34There's something here to suit all tastes. It's a real Aladdin's cave.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- My word, an Aladdin's cave. - I just said that.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- I'm going to have a look round, if I may.- Yeah, look away.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- So, I'll see you later. - See you in a little bit.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- So, what's the plan of action? - I'm going to start up here...
0:29:46 > 0:29:47Yes?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49If I haven't got much money,
0:29:49 > 0:29:51I buy better than when I've got loads of money.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53You're at an advantage today then,
0:29:53 > 0:29:56since you've only got half as much cash as David.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Ooh, whatever is that?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Gosh, never seen one of them before.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Must be a hearth brush...
0:30:06 > 0:30:10..with a brass horrible face...
0:30:11 > 0:30:13..and another horrible face.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18- I've never seen one of those. - Well, you have now.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22It's £45 but is that going to, if I get it really much cheaper,
0:30:22 > 0:30:24I wonder is that going to be a saleable thing?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Is somebody going to want to buy that?
0:30:26 > 0:30:29While Margie dithers over the hearth brush,
0:30:29 > 0:30:33David steams ahead to the Mission Hall Antiques Centre
0:30:33 > 0:30:37with a mighty £417 burning a hole in his pocket.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- Hello there!- Good morning.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- We have something in common, haven't we?- We have.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- Your name's David.- It is.- Mine's David as well. That's a good start.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46It's a good start.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50And so, the Barby charm offensive begins. Watch this...
0:30:55 > 0:30:58There's a little piece of toleware.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02Toleware is a French term describing tin or steel-made objects
0:31:02 > 0:31:06often enamelled and with decorative designs.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Inside there...
0:31:08 > 0:31:11you'd have a compartment.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Ah! Isn't that lovely?
0:31:13 > 0:31:15You put your spices in there.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20Included in that circular section, that's the little nutmeg grater.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Isn't that good? So it's complete.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27And I remember my grandmother having one of these.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29That's quite nice, I like that.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33I like that - good social history there. Mm.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Mm, I feel a deal coming on.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- I'd say £40.- £40...
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- 35?- Could we say 30?
0:31:42 > 0:31:4435 would be better.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47HE LAUGHS
0:31:47 > 0:31:53- 32. I'll do it for 32, go on. - Hallelujah!
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- Thank you very much, sir. - Thank you very much.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59I haven't got the two pounds, unfortunately.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02That is the oldest trick in the book, David!
0:32:02 > 0:32:06I saw you look! I saw you look!
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Nice try!
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Oh, dear, oh, dear - you're such a hard man.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13That's rich coming from you!
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Back up the road, Margie is surveying the silverware.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19That's a little card case, look.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22She's eyeing up an Edwardian business card holder
0:32:22 > 0:32:25and is considering a job lot of silver.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27I need to compile a few bits.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31I do actually have a set of sorts that's come in,
0:32:31 > 0:32:32and that could be reasonable.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- An Edwardian manicure set. - How much is it, then?- 25.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- What, for the whole lot?- Yeah.- Hmm.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44- So, you've said 20 for that. - 25 for that.- Yeah.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47There's probably weight in that one!
0:32:47 > 0:32:49I always laugh when I'm bidding!
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- I don't know why, I should be more serious.- Yeah, yeah.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53So what's your best offer...
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- It's got to be that really.- Is it? - 45.- It couldn't be 38?
0:32:56 > 0:33:00Oh, God, no!
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- I'm a bit...- £40 for the two.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06And I don't think you can go wrong with that.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07- OK.- OK.- We'll do it.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- Will we do that?- We'll do it. - Thank you very much.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13With the silver sorted, Margie turns her attention
0:33:13 > 0:33:16back to the hearth brush.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18I've never seen one before.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21I just think I like it, I like the heart, I like the wood.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26- £30, it can be.- I've just spent 40! - Very, very best.- I've just spent 40!
0:33:26 > 0:33:28I know, I know, but...
0:33:28 > 0:33:30We have to make a bit of money.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32I know you do.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34So, 65 wouldn't do the deal?
0:33:36 > 0:33:40- 40, 50, 65... OK, we'll do that. - Go on then.- Thank you very much.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- It's a bit of a laugh! - I'll polish it.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- I'll even polish it for you, yeah? - That's great.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50So, £65 for the manicure set and hearth brush.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Oh, look who's here!
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Oh, no, quick! Excuse me!
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- Have you bought something? - Yeah, I just have.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- I'll just go through to the back room.- Right, go on then.- OK.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- Go on then.- Yes, all right. - You're not to look.- I won't, no.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- Have you bought anything?- Yes. - He has!- In my bag.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Ooh, I wonder what she's found?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13He's such a nosy parker!
0:34:13 > 0:34:16All will be revealed, David, but not just yet.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- Six, and that's seven. Just check it, will you, Dale?- Lovely.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Bye!
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Ah, two lots.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31With Margie out of the way, David has free rein.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35Goodness me, this IS an Aladdin's cave!
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Yes, we've already said that, David, twice!
0:34:37 > 0:34:42Oh! It's got its cover!
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Registration mark on the bottom, so that's a good sign.
0:34:46 > 0:34:52This charming piece of Prattware is a hot-water jug produced in 1851.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54I really like that.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Particularly since it's got its original lid.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Prepare to witness The Master at work as he engages his powers
0:35:02 > 0:35:06of flattery, charm and Jedi mind tricks.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09It's £48. I'd like you to do your very, very best, please.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11£35.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Is that the silent treatment?
0:35:18 > 0:35:22I would like it at a much less figure than you've quoted.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27A much less figure? Well, you're very persuasive.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30And it really should be the figure I've quoted.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34- But if you'll give us £25 for it, I would accept that.- OK.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37The incredible Mr Barby does it again.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42At the same time, you've got in the window a pudding basin.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- Yes, yeah.- With a green transfer on. How much is that?
0:35:46 > 0:35:51- Off the top of my head, I think that's about £80.- 80?!- Yeah.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53I can get it out and we can have a look at it,
0:35:53 > 0:35:55but it is a decent amount of money.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59£80! £80!
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Well, I have to start high with you! You're a hard bargainer.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05I think it's got to be around £30.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06Just say no, Dale!
0:36:08 > 0:36:10It's got to be £50. Maybe do it for 45, but...
0:36:10 > 0:36:13It's a nice object. Somebody else will buy that.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17- Could we split the difference at 35? - Oh, no, no, no way.- Good for you.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22I tell you what, £40, but that's absolutely it, and that's cheap.
0:36:22 > 0:36:2638 would be very, very kind to me.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Don't give in!
0:36:28 > 0:36:30HE SIGHS
0:36:30 > 0:36:31You've had one good deal,
0:36:31 > 0:36:35I think you should give me a good deal on that!
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Here he goes again. Don't look into his eyes, Dale!
0:36:40 > 0:36:41(Please.)
0:36:45 > 0:36:46HE SIGHS
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Go on, then, we'll do that. - OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Some people just never learn!
0:36:51 > 0:36:54With another two items under his belt,
0:36:54 > 0:36:59David leaves Barnard Castle behind and heads east to Yarm.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09The name of the town is derived from the old Norse word "yarum",
0:37:09 > 0:37:12meaning "an enclosure to catch fish."
0:37:12 > 0:37:15I wonder what David will manage to reel in here?
0:37:15 > 0:37:19- Hello. David.- Oh, hello. - Hello, how are you?- Sandy Welsh.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- And you're Sandy? - Yes, I am.- What a lovely name.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27I recognise that face. We've been here before with Philip Serrell.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- 70 quid for the two.- How much?!
0:37:32 > 0:37:33She's a feisty one.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Could David Barby finally have met his match?
0:37:37 > 0:37:41This is a Victorian scrap screen,
0:37:41 > 0:37:47where it was a hobby to cut out of magazines or use greeting cards
0:37:47 > 0:37:50and stick them onto a screen.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56- This is a possibility. - Oh, not cheap! Anything else?
0:37:56 > 0:38:00That's £80, it's a little bit too much for me.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02How much could it go for?
0:38:02 > 0:38:06You might be able to take advantage of me today,
0:38:06 > 0:38:09because I had a late night last night.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Oh, I say! Frisky!
0:38:13 > 0:38:16This is a Walter Moorcroft vase of cylindrical form
0:38:16 > 0:38:19and I suppose probably made to hold spills
0:38:19 > 0:38:23used for lighting fires or candles.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28- Right, it's nice. - So, what sort of figure?- Oh...
0:38:28 > 0:38:33When I said you could take advantage I didn't mean the whole way!
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- Well, halfway?- Well, erm...
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- 80?- Oh!
0:38:42 > 0:38:44You're taking advantage of ME!
0:38:44 > 0:38:50- 80? Oh, come on!- Well...- Sandy!
0:38:50 > 0:38:5275.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55These two started off so well together,
0:38:55 > 0:38:58but I sense it could all end in tears.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- Absolutely.- Let me put that out there.- Put it to one side.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05I'll put that to one side. Because I trust you...
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Brace yourself, Sandy.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12..I'm going to ask you the best price that you can do for me on that.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15I trust your honesty and your kindness.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17I'll tell you what, you're good.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- You're good.- You what?
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Finally, someone has rumbled the silver-tongued charmer!
0:39:25 > 0:39:27In your heart of hearts,
0:39:27 > 0:39:33what do you think would be a good price on that for me and you?
0:39:33 > 0:39:37A good price? I'd say half the price you're asking.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41You're making me head ache. 55.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45- 48.- You have worn me to a frazzle.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49- So, it's 48?- I'll let you have it for 48 if you buy something else.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- Where are your postcards? - You've worn me out!
0:39:52 > 0:39:54David won over the battle of the Moorcroft,
0:39:54 > 0:39:58but can Sandy triumph over the Victorian scrap screen,
0:39:58 > 0:40:00price - £168?
0:40:00 > 0:40:03You'll make a fortune on that screen.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Sandy, I don't think it's in good condition, darling.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09No, but that's it, shabby chic.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Not that shabby.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14There's plenty of chic.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16There is plenty of cheek!
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- Can you tuck it just under the £100, please?- No.
0:40:22 > 0:40:28If I said to you 115, that would be it. Otherwise, we can't do it.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- Could we split the difference at 100? - Oh!- That's splitting the difference.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Go on, then.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38What have I done? What have I done?
0:40:38 > 0:40:43- That's £148 you owe me.- Oh, so much!
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Yes...
0:40:48 > 0:40:51My husband will say to me, "You're losing your touch."
0:40:51 > 0:40:54You're not losing your touch at all.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Sandy, thank you very much.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00So, no hard feelings. Time to kiss and make up.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- Made in heaven! - Thank you.- £2, thank you.- Thank you.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- Bye.- Bye-bye.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Was that Sandy crying?
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Well, perhaps she'll have the last laugh
0:41:14 > 0:41:16when the scrap screen goes to auction.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21With five items already in the bag, David joins Margie back on the road
0:41:21 > 0:41:24for the next leg of their road trip.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Their destination - a mystery location,
0:41:27 > 0:41:29deep in the suburbs of Middlesbrough,
0:41:29 > 0:41:33where Margie is embarking on a very hush-hush mission
0:41:33 > 0:41:35to secure her next purchase.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37I think it's a business run from a house.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- Oh, right?- It's a bit of a mystery. - Well, Margie, I think we're here.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Yeah. So, it's all very intriguing.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Margie has arranged to meet the owner, Jim.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49I think it's over there somewhere.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55- Good morning.- Good morning, Margie. Pleasure to meet you.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Welcome to Appleton Antiques, Middlesbrough.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- Thank you very much indeed. - Pleasure.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03Jim's antiques shop is actually an extension of his home
0:42:03 > 0:42:06and only select buyers get to visit,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08so Margie had better make the most of it!
0:42:08 > 0:42:10My eye's suddenly gone to this.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14£59, so where's it distressed?
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- It's quite heavy.- Distressed? I call it cracked!
0:42:17 > 0:42:22Do you want to see on the bottom? It's got a nice crack on the base.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Yeah, yeah, lovely!
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- But it's got a presence. - It certainly has.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30And no wonder - it's a classic piece of Linthorpe pottery
0:42:30 > 0:42:32by influential designer Christopher Dresser.
0:42:32 > 0:42:38Linthorpe was only produced over a ten-year period from 1879,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40so it's now highly collectable.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44I've never seen anything quite like it. £59...
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- 40's the rock bottom.- Rock bottom.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50I'm going to be brave and I'm going to say,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53I would have been really happy at 35, but you're not going to go down?
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- 40's the best, yeah.- OK, Jim. - Good, thank you.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Back on the road, David has driven 30 miles across to Whitby
0:43:01 > 0:43:03on the east coast of Yorkshire.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07The fishing port emerged during the Middle Ages.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10It's where Captain Cook learned seamanship.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14Known for its fish and chips, Whitby is also famous for something else.
0:43:14 > 0:43:18I'm on the way to meet a young lady
0:43:18 > 0:43:21who's going to tell me about Whitby jet.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25It's going to be quite a fascinating lesson.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27The jet found in Whitby is unrivalled
0:43:27 > 0:43:30to that found anywhere else in the world.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32The semiprecious gemstone
0:43:32 > 0:43:36comes from ancient fossilised monkey puzzle trees
0:43:36 > 0:43:40formed when trees decomposed under extreme pressure
0:43:40 > 0:43:43182 million years ago.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46Much of the raw material is found here at Boggle Hole
0:43:46 > 0:43:48in Robin Hood Bay.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50- What a romantic place! - It's gorgeous, isn't it?
0:43:50 > 0:43:53- I'm David, what's your name?- Rebecca.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56- You come here often, do you? - Yeah, on days off.
0:43:56 > 0:44:00What do I look for, is it all black?
0:44:00 > 0:44:03It is black, but it's quite difficult to actually find it.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06Because of coastal erosion, it's illegal to mine the jet,
0:44:06 > 0:44:08which can make it difficult to find.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11Jet comes in two different ways, really.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14There's either sea-washed jet or cliff jet.
0:44:14 > 0:44:18So, that's the sea-washed yet. You can feel how light it is.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20- It is, it would almost float. - Yeah, it's not what you expect.
0:44:20 > 0:44:24You look at it, it looks quite a dark, heavy material,
0:44:24 > 0:44:27but it's incredibly light. It's also warm to the touch as well.
0:44:27 > 0:44:31- And it's been polished by the sand, hasn't it, and the sea?- Yeah, yeah.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34We actually prefer it sea-washed
0:44:34 > 0:44:38- as opposed to out of the cliff like this.- Why's that?
0:44:38 > 0:44:41When it's sea-washed, it tumbles against the rocks in the waves
0:44:41 > 0:44:46- and it gets off any shale or impurities.- Right, I follow that.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48So you're literally left with the best stuff.
0:44:48 > 0:44:52It's easier for us to work with as a product.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54Why don't I take you to the shop
0:44:54 > 0:44:56and you can see various different designs in the antiques section,
0:44:56 > 0:44:59and you can also have a go at cutting some yourself if you like?
0:44:59 > 0:45:02- And maybe a cup of tea? - Oh, definitely a cup of tea!
0:45:02 > 0:45:03Thank you very much.
0:45:03 > 0:45:07Queen Victoria loved Whitby jet and made the jewellery popular
0:45:07 > 0:45:10during her 40-year period of mourning.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14Back at Rebecca's workshop, David is about to get a lesson
0:45:14 > 0:45:16in working with the semiprecious stone.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19This is the ring that I'm going to get you to work on.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23I've got a piece of jet that's roughly cut and polished,
0:45:23 > 0:45:27so what I want you to do is grind that into that exact shape
0:45:27 > 0:45:29so that it fits in perfectly.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31That's it.
0:45:31 > 0:45:35- You have to have a good eye. - You do.- Where did you train?
0:45:35 > 0:45:40I trained doing jewellery, like the silversmithing side,
0:45:40 > 0:45:45at Birmingham City University in the Jewellery Quarter.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47It's the best place I could have trained,
0:45:47 > 0:45:49but I didn't know anything about working jet
0:45:49 > 0:45:51until I came to work for this company.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54Of course, you can't go anywhere else, can you?
0:45:54 > 0:45:56- Because there's no jet anywhere else. - Well, no.
0:45:59 > 0:46:04That's very good for your first try, I have to say. You're almost there.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06This is one that I've done earlier.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09That's what it's going to look like when it's done,
0:46:09 > 0:46:12when the piece of jet is set in place.
0:46:12 > 0:46:13I think it's wonderful.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16I hope you have loads of people come and have a look at this,
0:46:16 > 0:46:18- because it's fantastic. - Oh, we do, yeah.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20- Thank you very much. - You're quite welcome.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23- And thanks for letting me have a go. - That's OK. You did very well.
0:46:23 > 0:46:24I'm going to have a shower.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27Make it a cold one.
0:46:27 > 0:46:28While David cleans up,
0:46:28 > 0:46:33Margie has travelled four miles south to the village of Sleights.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36Located in the Esk Valley,
0:46:36 > 0:46:41Sleights is a charming little village where time passes slowly -
0:46:41 > 0:46:44unless you're Margie Cooper hunting down a bargain, that is.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47As usual, we're in a bit of a rush.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50Let's have a look in here.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53- Hello. You must be Phil? - Hello, pleased to meet you.
0:46:53 > 0:46:54- I'm Margie.- Hi.- Hi.
0:46:54 > 0:46:58Eskdale Antiques is quite literally a barn of a shop
0:46:58 > 0:47:00based in an old farmyard.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Let's hope Margie doesn't end up
0:47:02 > 0:47:04buying a pile of you-know-what by mistake!
0:47:04 > 0:47:08- Do you like advertising?- Oh!
0:47:08 > 0:47:09One and nine with three gallons,
0:47:09 > 0:47:11so it's got a slight motoring association.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14How much is that?
0:47:14 > 0:47:1745.
0:47:17 > 0:47:18How low could it go?
0:47:18 > 0:47:21If I said 35 to you...
0:47:21 > 0:47:25- 35?- It must give you 15 or 20 quid at least, maybe a bit more?
0:47:25 > 0:47:28- That's not going to go for 50 quid, is it?- Yeah, I think it will.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30Oh, I don't think so.
0:47:30 > 0:47:34It's just all guesswork with something like that, isn't it?
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Yeah, but that's what makes it fun, isn't it?
0:47:36 > 0:47:42- It'd make it fun if it was 25 quid. - How about going halfway?
0:47:42 > 0:47:49- Meet me in the middle.- Oh, gosh, 30 still sounds dear, Phil, doesn't it?
0:47:49 > 0:47:51- We'll make a deal if you like.- 25?
0:47:51 > 0:47:54Yeah, we'll make a deal at 25 quid, OK? Thank you very much.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56Thank you very much. Let's give you some money.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59- We've got 20, 30. There you go. - Thank you very much.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02- Thank you very much. - There we go, just a fiver.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05That's great, thanks, Phil. Oh, what have I done?
0:48:05 > 0:48:09With time running out, Margie legs it across to Whitby...
0:48:09 > 0:48:11Here goes - nothing ventured...!
0:48:13 > 0:48:16..where David is looking for his last shop of the day.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18Gosh, it's getting rather late now.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20I'll just nip down there and see if there's a shop open,
0:48:20 > 0:48:24because I haven't shopped today and I need to get one more item.
0:48:24 > 0:48:29Well, you know what they say, David? He who shops last shops longest.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32Looks like Margie's stolen his thunder.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35She's beaten you to the last shop.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38- Hi, hello.- Hello, how do you do? - Margie Cooper, and you are?- Frank.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41Frank. Hi, Frank. I'm just going to have a quick look round,
0:48:41 > 0:48:45- is that all right? - You're quite welcome, yes.
0:48:45 > 0:48:47You've got all sorts in here.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50- Yeah, there's a bit of everything.- Yeah.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52- That's nice.- Yeah, it is.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55Not that easy to... Where's the other one?
0:48:55 > 0:48:57THEY LAUGH
0:48:57 > 0:49:00- There's not two, is there? - I think there might be!
0:49:00 > 0:49:05Yes, some antiques come in matching pairs, just like our experts.
0:49:05 > 0:49:09Where there's Margie, David's usually not far behind.
0:49:09 > 0:49:14Oh, I can't believe it, Margie's in there! Oh, no!
0:49:16 > 0:49:20- I see what you mean about the barometers, they're quite nice. - They're lovely.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24- What sort of money can they be? What's the middle one?- The rope one?
0:49:24 > 0:49:27- Yeah.- Has it got £60 on it? £40.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30- Not 20?- No, can't do it at 20.
0:49:30 > 0:49:34Oh, now what? Oh, it is him!
0:49:36 > 0:49:39What? I'm going now, I'm nearly finished.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41Are you buying a pair of shoes?
0:49:41 > 0:49:42SHE LAUGHS
0:49:42 > 0:49:4735 and that's it, right?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49You've got to buy something otherwise...
0:49:49 > 0:49:51You'll kick me out of the shop.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54You're fed up with me now, aren't you? I can feel it.
0:49:54 > 0:49:55He's not the only one!
0:49:55 > 0:49:57I've had enough.
0:50:00 > 0:50:02I'm going back to the hotel.
0:50:02 > 0:50:07And just like that, David Barby becomes Diva Barby.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09SHE LAUGHS
0:50:09 > 0:50:13- Thank you so much.- OK, my dear.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16And I hope it makes a profit.
0:50:16 > 0:50:21- You'll be all right. - Thanks a lot.- OK then.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24Our experts are now all shopped out.
0:50:24 > 0:50:27David began this leg with a mighty £417
0:50:27 > 0:50:31and has spent £243 on a vase, a spice box,
0:50:31 > 0:50:35a Grimwade's Quick Cooker, a hot-water jug
0:50:35 > 0:50:38and a Victorian scrap screen.
0:50:38 > 0:50:42Margie started out with a meagre £238 and has bought
0:50:42 > 0:50:47a Linthorpe planter, an oak-cased aneroid barometer,
0:50:47 > 0:50:53a 1960s advertising board, a hearth brush and a collection of silver.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59Let's see what the experts think of each other's buys.
0:50:59 > 0:51:03I thought her Linthorpe pot - oh, such a dream!
0:51:03 > 0:51:06I don't know whether she knows a Christopher Dresser design,
0:51:06 > 0:51:09and even though it's cracked, there's going to be demand for it,
0:51:09 > 0:51:11so she's bought exceedingly well.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13I just hate those screens.
0:51:13 > 0:51:16I think they're everything that's bad about Victoriana.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18He's going to be very lucky if he gets a profit.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21From wonderful Whitby,
0:51:21 > 0:51:25it's now on to the seaside town of Scarborough for auction.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27Seeing Scarborough at its very best.
0:51:27 > 0:51:31- Elegant town, isn't it? - That's enough of the sightseeing.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34It's time to get down to business!
0:51:34 > 0:51:35Not a cloud in the sky!
0:51:35 > 0:51:38- What a lovely day!- Yeah.
0:51:38 > 0:51:42Our experts are doing battle at David Duggleby's auction house,
0:51:42 > 0:51:46a family-run business with over 40 years' experience.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48- Here we go. - Right, lot number 13 then.
0:51:48 > 0:51:52So, kicking things off is David's 1930s Moorcroft vase.
0:51:52 > 0:51:55At 40, five, 50, five, at 60.
0:51:55 > 0:51:59Five, 70. Five, 80.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02Five, 90. Five, 100.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04110, 120.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06130, fresh bid.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08130. 140.
0:52:08 > 0:52:11150. 160. 170.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14At £170, then, at 170.
0:52:14 > 0:52:18It's in the room, it's selling at 170. All done, 170.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21Oh, no, defeated before I start!
0:52:22 > 0:52:26Oh, my goodness me, that was amazing.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28Maybe Margie can catch up
0:52:28 > 0:52:31with her badly cracked Linthorpe jardiniere.
0:52:31 > 0:52:3550 with me. At £50 then? At 50. At £50, and five.
0:52:35 > 0:52:40- At 60. £60. Selling at 60, then. - 60 quid!
0:52:40 > 0:52:42All done.
0:52:42 > 0:52:46- You've made a profit, Margie.- £60! - Yeah, but it's £20.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49Yeah, but it should have rolled on a bit more.
0:52:49 > 0:52:53Will David's toleware spice tin curry favour with the bidders?
0:52:53 > 0:52:58With me at £25. At 25, at 30. At 30.
0:52:58 > 0:53:0235. At 40, 45?
0:53:02 > 0:53:04At 50, £50 in the room, at 50.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07At £50, then, it's selling. All done at £50?
0:53:07 > 0:53:09Going at 50, all done? 50.
0:53:09 > 0:53:12A nice price for the spice
0:53:12 > 0:53:14and another tasty little profit for David.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18That's good.
0:53:18 > 0:53:21The pressure is on for the next item -
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Margie's 1930s oak barometer.
0:53:23 > 0:53:2520 bid. At 20.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28At £20 at the back there, £20. 25, 25.
0:53:28 > 0:53:34At £25 on this side? Selling at 25. Are you all done at £25? £25.
0:53:34 > 0:53:38Uh-oh, I can see the storm clouds brewing for Marjorie.
0:53:38 > 0:53:42- It's not my day.- You've got other things coming up, Margie.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45Here we are, all you need for your tea today.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48David's next lot is the Grimwade pudding basin.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50But will it turn out to be a duff purchase?
0:53:50 > 0:53:54With me at £25. At 25, at 30.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57£30. 35 with me. 35. At 40?
0:53:57 > 0:53:59£40 on this side, at 40.
0:53:59 > 0:54:02Got to go. All done? It's going at 40.
0:54:02 > 0:54:05- You've made a profit. Or have you? - Yes.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10The proof was in the pudding, but only just.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13Still, at least it's profit - I'm not making a loss.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15Another of David Barby's items next -
0:54:15 > 0:54:17the Felix Pratt hot-water jug.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20At £20 with me. At £20, then, at 20.
0:54:20 > 0:54:24Five, 30. Five, at 40. At £40.
0:54:24 > 0:54:28- It's worth more than that. - On commission, then, at £40, at 40.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30- You won't get a better example. - He's right!
0:54:30 > 0:54:33It's selling, are we all done at 40?
0:54:33 > 0:54:36It's profit. It's profit.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39A lukewarm response to the hot-water jug,
0:54:39 > 0:54:42but David still profits to the tune of £15.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46- Disappointing.- It is disappointing. - It is disappointing.- Very surprised.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48Oh, no!
0:54:48 > 0:54:51Disappointing for David, but it gives Margie a chance to catch up.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53- Just tell me when it's over. - Have faith in your taste.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58Let's hope there are no snags with this 1960s advertising board.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01At 20, and five. At 30, and five.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04At 40. And five, at 50.
0:55:04 > 0:55:08- And five, £55 in the room, at £55.- £55!

0:55:11 > 0:55:14- Wonderful!- Hooray!
0:55:16 > 0:55:22Suspend your disbelief - Margie is quids-in with her saucy stocking ad.
0:55:22 > 0:55:24That was good.
0:55:24 > 0:55:27Margie's luck has turned, but can she clean up
0:55:27 > 0:55:29with her Arts and Crafts hearth brush?

0:55:56 > 0:55:58We can't all make large profits.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02Let's see if David's still smiling
0:56:02 > 0:56:05when his tatty old Victorian scrap screen comes up next.
0:56:05 > 0:56:09There we are, lot 120, the modesty screen there.

0:56:49 > 0:56:52Margie's last hope lies with her silver collection,
0:56:52 > 0:56:59which she needs to sell for at least £110 to stand any chance of winning.

0:57:23 > 0:57:27Well, it's a sterling profit but sadly, not enough.
0:57:27 > 0:57:30That's it. You're a bit of a wily old fox, aren't you?
0:57:30 > 0:57:33You're a crafty vixen, aren't you? Ooh!
