0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts, with £200 each,
0:00:05 > 0:00:09a classic car, and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10That hurts.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14The aim?
0:00:14 > 0:00:17To make the biggest profit at auction,
0:00:17 > 0:00:21but it's no mean feat, there'll be worthy winners, and valiant losers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22So much!
0:00:22 > 0:00:25So, will it be the high road to glory?
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:42It's the third leg of our Antiques Road Trip, with treasure hunters
0:00:42 > 0:00:45David Barby and Margie Cooper, in their open top, 1979,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Mercedes 350 SL,
0:00:48 > 0:00:52and with two wins in a row, David is looking for a hat-trick.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54I always like to get a little sparkler.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01But I don't know, it's all the luck of the draw.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Margie has slowly but surely been growing her cash
0:01:04 > 0:01:10over the last two auctions, which means she now has £294.40 to spend.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15David, on the other hand, has more than doubled his money,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18giving him a whopping £485.60 to splurge.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25The route takes our road trippers from Alnwick in Northumberland
0:01:25 > 0:01:29through the beautiful English countryside, to the final destination of Lincoln,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31200 miles away.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35But this leg begins in Bridlington on the coast,
0:01:35 > 0:01:40before heading inland to the auction in the home of snooker, Sheffield.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Bridlington is a quaint seaside town,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46bringing back some happy memories for David.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Do you know, this sort of holiday resort takes me back to
0:01:51 > 0:01:53when I was very young, in the 1950...
0:01:53 > 0:01:55er, 1960s!
0:01:55 > 0:01:56THEY LAUGH
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Yeah, right.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01You were probably building sand castles here in 1643,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05when the Royal troops landed to fight in the English Civil War.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09But the only battle David faces today is with the Mercedes.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Right, now then, which is your shop?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- This is so difficult, getting out of this car.- Now, which is your shop?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Yours is up there, isn't it? The Georgian Tea Rooms.- Yeah.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- And mine's here. All the very best. - Is that sincere?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23It's always sincere.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29The first stop for David is Priory Antiques.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35- Hello.- Hello.- David Barby. You're? - Irene Cook.- Hello, Irene.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Can you point me in the direction of somewhere, let's say silver?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Do you have any silver? - Yes, we've got some...
0:02:42 > 0:02:43some nice silver buttons in here.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Yes, they're quite pretty.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Now, what's David up to here?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Silver is Margie's speciality.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Could he be playing her at her own game? Sneaky.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Right, these are quite small, they are probably blouse buttons.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04They are for a lady. And they have got a female design on them.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10I think the female is playing a lyre, so it's very Grecian, isn't it?
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- What's the price on those? - Well, they are 70.- 70!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Yes.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21It's got to be a bit less than that.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- I was thinking around about £40. - What about 50?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Can I say 45? Split the difference.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- OK.- 45.- Yeah.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- OK.- OK.- That was quick. - It was, wasn't it?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Can you take me somewhere else? Show me another object.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Nearby, at the Georgian Tea Rooms,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Margie has found some silver of her own.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Two Edwardian scent bottles, at £35 for the pair.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51So, how cheap would those be?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55I think, considering I did buy them at a car boot sale,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57there's a little bit of money in it for me.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Yeah.- So, 20 quid, I'd walk away with a bit of a profit.
0:04:01 > 0:04:07- A deal. Thank you.- So, we'll put those there, and I'll move on.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Another quick purchase, most unlike Margie.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Little pally pencils that...
0:04:14 > 0:04:17they collapse. They're great.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21But look at this one, it's a miniature one. It's £19!
0:04:23 > 0:04:24And I really like it.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Miniature propelling pencils were popular with Victorians.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31They could be attached to charm bracelets for a lady
0:04:31 > 0:04:34out shopping, or even used with a dance card.
0:04:34 > 0:04:40And would you believe it? Here is a card that would have been marked.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43And I've actually never seen one of these.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46So there's a list of all the dances,
0:04:46 > 0:04:51and then each dance would have somebody's name.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53And I think this has been... Let me have a quick look.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Yeah, somebody's put Spiderman on there!
0:05:05 > 0:05:08That's what they look like, and I've never seen one of those before.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09It's original.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I'm trying to work out what the one step is.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I don't know, absolutely no idea.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18You certainly don't see it in any of the modern dance programs.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Yeah, I quite like that, but I'm not convinced it's Victorian.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28- Well, I could do it for 15, and throw in this card...- Right.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32..to make up a package. 12 at the very best. 12 at the death.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Yeah, not ten?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36THEY LAUGH
0:05:36 > 0:05:39You're amazing, you know? Absolutely amazing.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Yeah, I know, aren't we awful? - Hang on, just let my heart...
0:05:42 > 0:05:44settle down a bit.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- OK, ten.- All right.- Yeah. - Brill.- Thank you.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Do you think I'll make a fortune? - No.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Very striking.- It is, isn't it?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- That's £40.- It's very exhibition, isn't it?
0:05:58 > 0:06:03At £40, it's too much for the type of pottery that it is.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- A 1960s West German vase, in case you were wondering.- 15.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- SHE WHISPERS - 25.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- My original price on that was £15. - 'Why are they whispering?'
0:06:17 > 0:06:21And I'd like to keep to £15, if you don't mind?
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- Don't feel under any pressure. - Come down to 17.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28£15.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34It's got to be 15, I can't see it any more.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Erm, how about 16?
0:06:41 > 0:06:47You're a hard woman. Really hard. Thank you very much.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48£61.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53I bet he'll use that "no change," line, all for the sake of a pound.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Have you some change, please, or would you strike that off?
0:06:56 > 0:07:01- £60 exactly.- You're a hard man, aren't you?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Go on then, we'll make it 60. - Cheeky beggar!
0:07:05 > 0:07:08He got the vase for £15, after all.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Just as he's about to leave, David spots a rustic-looking garden bench.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17But, with a price tag of £200, he needs to try it before he buys.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19What exactly is he plotting?
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- I think £60 is adequate. - I can't come down to that.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- You can!- I can't.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32- 68.- We'll split the difference at 65 and that's it.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- I won't say anything more.- 68!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Good for you, girl. That will shut him up!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47You've had your wicked way with me.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Perish the thought!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Margie is also settling her account.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57£10 for the propelling pencil and dance card
0:07:57 > 0:07:59and £20 for the pair of scent bottles.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- £30.- Thank you very much. I'll need change, after all.- Sure.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- If you give me ten... - Just in the nick of time.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13- Margie!- Hello.- Hello, darling!
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- I'm moving on.- How are you doing?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19OK. You?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I'm just going out here. You can come in now.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- I'm going to go in your shop.- OK.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Best of luck across there.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33He's probably been in and bought all the bargains, but never mind.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I don't know what David will have bought. Something quirky!
0:08:36 > 0:08:41- It's behind you!- There's loads of things. It's really interesting.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- You've just got to think, you know. - It's behind you!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48What's going to sell well?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Oh, for the love of...
0:08:50 > 0:08:52This is a funny old thing, isn't it?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Look at that! It's a very imaginative piece, isn't it?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Yes, it is. A real cartwheel from a real cart.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03The only thing missing is the horse.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Prrr!
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Ha! Thanks, Margie.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Now, go and find something David hasn't bought.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15What about that Mackintosh-style oak cabinet at £65?
0:09:17 > 0:09:18I could do it for 40.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- 40's a good price.- Yeah. - Especially with the glass -
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- the bevelled glass.- I do like the glass. It is nice, yeah.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I'm just trying to imagine, is somebody going to...?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Like it as much as you do?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Absolutely!
0:09:32 > 0:09:37The only way that you feel confident is that it becomes so cheap.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41I know it sounds pathetic but a couple of pounds off 40 would help.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- 38?- Oh, great.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Well, I'll buy it. - OK then.- Thanks a lot.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50All shopped out in Bridlington, it's time for our experts to move on.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Yeah, thanks, guys. Who's going to carry that cabinet
0:09:53 > 0:09:56and huge great bench off to auction, eh?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Back on the road, our experts head to Hull,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02where Margie is making a pit stop
0:10:02 > 0:10:06for an Humber-lievable driving experience.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08You love Humber cars.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I'm not so sure I know what Humber cars look like.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Well, they're rounded.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17They're so typical of the 1940s, 1950s, aren't they?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20You can't think of a quality car without thinking of a Humber.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Quality cars! Here? Are you sure?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27That's more like it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31This is a private collection of 28 Humber cars, owned by Alan Marshall.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- I think you'll find all the best stuff's kept in here.- Oh, my word!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40What an amazing collection!
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Alan's businessman father started the collection in 1960
0:10:44 > 0:10:49with a second-hand Humber and used it to deliver potatoes.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52These silver dream machines, favoured by the ruling classes,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55were nicknamed old faithfuls for their reliability.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59By the 1920s, the company, founded by Thomas Humber of Sheffield,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02had established itself as a motor car manufacturer
0:11:02 > 0:11:04of the highest quality.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Its original owner was Baroness Rothschild.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10This, of course, was the debutant era of the big dresses
0:11:10 > 0:11:13and high hair. Diamonds and fares.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16The doors hinge backwards.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Then, what Humber did was raise the floors by about six inches
0:11:20 > 0:11:22to cover the transmission tunnel,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25so it allowed the ladies to walk in forwards, without having to shuffle.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28And she could do a complete turn and then sit.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32I was told the baroness actually used to sit at this side here.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36She was quite vain and she loved to be seen by the people on the side of the road.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39If you had the Pullman, this was the bees knees.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42The cars were particularly popular with the Royal family.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46King George VI had a fleet of 47 Humbers.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49For anyone that was anyone, these were the cars to be seen in.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59It was formerly the property of Edward and Mrs Simpson,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02in their courting days.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- My word!- It's the only one of its type in the world that we know of.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10It's called the Humber Snipe. It's a 1932 model.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Because of the couple's clandestine relationship,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17this unique Royal car was ordered with a very special spec.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21You can see it's got a very small back window and very dark inside.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I think you get more of an impression by sitting in
0:12:23 > 0:12:25and sitting right back.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Imagine you're going around the streets of London.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Nobody can see you in the back of the car.- Totally private!
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Open the cupboard doors at that side.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- There's a lovely reading lamp in there.- Oh, look at that!
0:12:36 > 0:12:38A cigar lighter.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42There's even a little safe-deposit box under the carpet.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I'm sitting where Mrs Simpson sat.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49Fantastic, eh? Anything down...?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Ooh, hang on!- I've checked.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Have you checked? I fancy myself in here with a future king.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Well, if you want to be a queen, Margie,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03you'd better get accustomed to the lifestyle.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Bring your tiara with you.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I haven't brought it with me, what a shame!
0:13:08 > 0:13:13Right, here we go. Not too far. I don't want to use all your petrol.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Right, I'm ready. - Elbow on the armrest, please.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Elbow on the armrest. - Hand up vertical.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20And wave!
0:13:22 > 0:13:25CAR HORN
0:13:26 > 0:13:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Tell you what, you're very good at that!
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Now, Margie, don't get too comfortable in there,
0:13:35 > 0:13:40because it's time to rejoin David in the Merc and get shopping again.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43And, rather uncharacteristically,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46the master is getting a little jumpy.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50And now I'm being quite truthful with you - I'm in a panic mode.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54So, I may buy the first thing I see.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Oh, right!
0:13:55 > 0:13:58David and Margie are travelling 60 miles across country
0:13:58 > 0:14:00to the next shop in Harworth,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03a small town in the county of Nottinghamshire.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Here we go! There it is!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Oh!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Harrison's is quite literally a warehouse full of antiques.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Surely there's something here for David,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19if he can make it out of the car, that is.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21CAR HORN
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Stop it!
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Are you trying to announce your arrival?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Hello.- Good morning.- David Barby. - Charlotte Harrison.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Pleased to meet you.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36And, as David get into his stride,
0:14:36 > 0:14:41it's not long before he's drawn to a piece of Bretby Art Pottery.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- I'll give you that for £5. - You're not giving me it.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50- I'm paying £5 for it.- You cheapskate!- I've got another piece.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Yeah.- I could have combined with that.- Right.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58One of those West German vases, stands about that big.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I just thought that might add a little bit of interest.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05So, David's thinking of combining this vase with his German one.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Come on, man! A fiver's hardly going to break the bank.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11It's stencilled, isn't it, design?
0:15:11 > 0:15:16Er, no need to rush a decision, eh?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Right, just let me continue my perambulations.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20No problem.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Well, food for thought then and time for a ponder and a wander.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25What about a nice piece of silver?
0:15:25 > 0:15:29A hallmarked vase by Walker and Hall of Birmingham.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32It's quality.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35£84!
0:15:35 > 0:15:36What's the best on that?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39I would allow you to have it for 60.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- What about 50?- Meet you halfway - 55!
0:15:43 > 0:15:46It's too much. And the school board?
0:15:46 > 0:15:51Right, the price on that is 200.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Oh, sugars!- Produced by Orme and Sons,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56one of the most respected makers of billiard tables,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58this late 19th-century school board
0:15:58 > 0:16:00could be a nice little earner for David.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- I know it's got the button missing on the end...- It has.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08So, for that, I can knock you off £20 then.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Just 20?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Well, how much do you think you'd like to pay?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Could it be 120?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I would say... My lowest I can take
0:16:21 > 0:16:24is 150. I'm being good to you.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26150.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Crikey!- Thank you.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31That's something you don't see every day.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33You've been lucky today selling that.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Oh my God, you've taken that hand so quickly.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Well, Charlotte scores on the board but Barby is still after a winning pot.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- That vase, would you throw it in with that?- If you want me to.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Thank you very much. I'm happy. OK, lovely.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51But, will they go snooker loopy for this
0:16:51 > 0:16:53over at the auction in Sheffield?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- How much are they?- £40.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I'm just going to look at this really bad one.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07The pictures are of winners of the renowned St Leger's Stakes -
0:17:07 > 0:17:13a horse race that has taken place in Doncaster since 1776.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14This one's called...
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Blue Bonnet.
0:17:16 > 0:17:22Blue Bonnet by Touchstone. Winner of the St Leger in 1812.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Got to go for these, haven't we?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Margie is taking a £40 punt on the gee-gees.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28But, what are the odds on them doing well at auction?
0:17:28 > 0:17:3140's the absolute...?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Oh, yes.- Oh, yes. - That is an absolute...- Steal.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- It's a steal, yeah.- I'm not going to argue with you. Thank you very much.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- One, two...- Lovely!
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Three, four.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48No, £40. You give me 20s.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50See how honest we are!
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- I'll give you the benefit of the doubt!- What an idiot!
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Gosh, she's hardly got any money as it is and now she's giving it away.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Right, here I go. - Good luck to you.- Bye.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05As Margie goes next door, it seems David has not been idle.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09This is a piece of Worcester porcelain.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12And it's quite a well-known design.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15A little bit rubbed there on the gilt,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18but this is in the form of a shell with coral.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22You've got the lizard going up the side there, all in gilt.
0:18:22 > 0:18:28This is typical sort of 1880/1890 top-quality porcelain.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Really very nice.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I like that. I'll ask the price on that.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- £50.- Is that the best?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Yeah, I would say so, yes.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51- Would you do it for 40?- Er, 45?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Thank you.- Thank you.- Right.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Another item for David. Hurrah!
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Now, remember that silver vase he liked?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Like a magpie, silver. It draws me.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07He got the price down to £55.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Can Margie do any better?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Nice vase.
0:19:13 > 0:19:151930s...
0:19:17 > 0:19:19..Walker and Hall.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21How much is this, Charlotte?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- I bet it's going to be too dear.- That's £85.- Yeah.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Jolly nice.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29How much is it worth to you?
0:19:29 > 0:19:30It would be half.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34I would go as low as...50.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38You're being very fair but it's just got to be a dead cert.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41If you really want it, I will let you have it for 40.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43£40. Yeah.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Hold on, that's £15 less than David was offered.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- It's a bargain at half the price. - Do you think so?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53It's not a bargain, it's a good buy.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55It's not a bargain, it's a good buy.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58More like an excellent buy, Margie.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Thank you very much.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Now she's on a roll, Margie's off to Rotherham
0:20:03 > 0:20:07to squeeze in one last shop.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- Hello. Hi, Margie!- Hi!
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- How are you doing?- Not that brilliantly in the last hour.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Oh, dear! Come through, have a look around.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Yeah, OK. You're mainly furniture, aren't you?- Mainly furniture.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23Yes, I'm just trying to find a little piece to go with my last item,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26which is to do with writing or miniatures
0:20:26 > 0:20:27or something like that.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32I've just thought about that little silver charm bracelet.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35It's got some dancing slippers on.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38It's very nice. So, how much?
0:20:38 > 0:20:43Well, it should be 45, er, £40.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I think that's too dear for me.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49You see, I've bought something else.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Mmm.- Yes, that's very nice of you...
0:20:52 > 0:20:55It cost me 25. Do it for 35.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Margie has gone miniature mad.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- We'll shake on that.- Thank you very much. I hope you'll do well with it.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05I do, too. I do, too.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Well, that wraps it up. Shopping completed,
0:21:08 > 0:21:12let's remind ourselves what our experts have snaffled up.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Margie began this leg with £294.40,
0:21:15 > 0:21:19and has spent £183 on five auction lots.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22She's bought a pair of Edwardian scent bottles,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25a miniature Victorian pencil along with the dance card,
0:21:25 > 0:21:30a 1960s Silver Charm bracelet, an early 20th century oak cabinet,
0:21:30 > 0:21:34three varnished lithographs of racehorses and a silver vase.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40David, meanwhile, started off with £485.60,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42and parted with £323 exactly,
0:21:42 > 0:21:48for five lots comprised of a 1920s bench, two pottery vases,
0:21:48 > 0:21:52a Royal Worcester bowl, a set of six Art Nouveau buttons
0:21:52 > 0:21:55and a mahogany snooker game scoreboard.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Right, let's see what they thought of each other's purchases.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I think he's bought really well today.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05The risk is the billiard scoreboard
0:22:05 > 0:22:07but, there again, if somebody's got a billiard table, erm,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09that could do really well.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13The items I don't think will do well are those lithographic prints,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15which are in such an awful state.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Made to look as though they are actual oil paintings on canvas
0:22:19 > 0:22:20but they are not.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23OK, Mr smarty-pants. Let's find out!
0:22:23 > 0:22:27From Rotherham there's one final push on to Sheffield
0:22:27 > 0:22:28and auction day.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I think we're going to do quite well here, Margie.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Well, I think you might! - I really, really do.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- I'm not as excited as you are! - I'm getting quite excited about this.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Margie, all the best. - And to you, too.- Thank you.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Today our experts are doing battle at Sheffield Auction Gallery,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45which has been in business since 1840.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50Auctioneer Robert Lea is ready to lead proceedings.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51- Here we are, here we are.- Here we go.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56First up for Margie, it's the pair of Edwardian scent bottles.
0:22:56 > 0:22:5728, a marker.
0:22:57 > 0:23:0128...£30. 32...35... 38...£40.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05£40...42...45...48...50.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- £50, hammer's going to drop! - It's a fair price.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12The sweet smell of success for Margie
0:23:12 > 0:23:14and a good profit on her first lot.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18- That's excellent. He sold those well. - He did, bless him.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21David's vase combo is up next -
0:23:21 > 0:23:25the 1960s West German piece and the more traditional Bretby.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- £28 this lot and you're paying for the two.- 28?
0:23:29 > 0:23:3030, I'm after.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32£30 it must be to take the commission...
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Come on, come on.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37That's one, there's one over there.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Looking at 32 to progress.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40£30 standing bid.
0:23:40 > 0:23:4232, gentleman on my left.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- Oh!- Got to be 35. 32 only.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Anyone offering any more? They've got to go! Over now, it's 32.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Oh, he's trying so hard.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Ugh!- It's a profit.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Not a bad start for David but Margie takes an early lead.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- It's not £30 profits like yours! - Look at...
0:24:00 > 0:24:02SHE LAUGHS
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Now it's Margie's bundle of the Victorian propelling pencil
0:24:06 > 0:24:09and dance card with the Silver Charm bracelet.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Must start the bidding at...
0:24:12 > 0:24:14£18, 20 I'm after.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16£20 I need to move on.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21- With me at £18 on commission... - Oh, my Lord.- ..22, 25, madam.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22I'm out.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Disaster.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Margie's cards are well and truly marked as she makes a loss of £20.
0:24:28 > 0:24:3125? Oh, that's ridiculous.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Next it's David's star buy, the Royal Worcester nautilus shell
0:24:35 > 0:24:38and he's banking on this being a huge success.
0:24:38 > 0:24:3940 I'm after.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- £40, it must be elsewhere.- Eh?!
0:24:41 > 0:24:43£40...42...45...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- There you go.- ..48...50...
0:24:45 > 0:24:46He's on the hook.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- I can't believe it! - On my right so far.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Hammer's going to drop at £50.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- Are we finished?- Oh, £50. Oh, that is ridiculous.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Not quite the profit David was expecting,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00giving Margie the chance to catch up.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Let's see if she can close the gap with the silver vase
0:25:04 > 0:25:05that David ALMOST brought.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Lot of interest for,
0:25:07 > 0:25:08to start the bidding at...
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- £50- ..£55.
0:25:11 > 0:25:1460, I'm after, elsewhere...
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Has it stopped at 60?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Should go for 80, should go for 80.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20..£70, gentleman on my left so far...
0:25:20 > 0:25:25- Should go for 80.- Anyone else for 75? It's going to go. All over £70.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Margie, that was good. - Bit disappointed.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34A silver lining for Margie and another healthy profit.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- That's another £30!- Yes, I know, but the last lot got wiped out.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41David's set of Art Nouveau silver buttons is up next.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43They're crackers!
0:25:43 > 0:25:47£30, 32 I'm after. 32...35...38. I'm out for £40.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- 42...45...48...- Hey!- ..No?
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- 45, I'm with the lady so far. - Oh, no!
0:25:54 > 0:25:55They're so cheap!
0:25:55 > 0:25:59£50. 55...60.
0:25:59 > 0:26:0255 in white so far. Must be 60 elsewhere.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Somebody said, "They're so cheap."
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- 55, top of the shop... - They are cheap.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09..they've got to go!
0:26:09 > 0:26:11All bid at £55 with the gentleman?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- It's a profit!- Well...
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- ..at least I made £10. - Well done.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21David's making small but steady profits
0:26:21 > 0:26:23but will they be enough to win him the day?
0:26:23 > 0:26:29Now for Margie's tired old horse prints but has she backed a donkey?
0:26:29 > 0:26:34- Quite a bit of interest in these. Must start the bidding at £110.- Oh!
0:26:34 > 0:26:36MARGIE LAUGHS
0:26:36 > 0:26:39110. 115 I'm after...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Oh!- 115, 120, 125...
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Oh great!- With me at 120 so far.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Anybody else at 125? - Oh, that's great.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Shout at me if I've missed you. All done at 125?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Hammer's going to drop.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54- Sold!- Wahey!
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Racing ahead with the prints,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00the odds on Margie winning have just been slashed!
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Very good.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04I thought they were absolutely appalling!
0:27:04 > 0:27:05THEY LAUGH
0:27:05 > 0:27:09I thought they were appalling! Oh!
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Now it is David's rustic garden bench.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Will it leave him doing cartwheels of his own?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17(Come on.)
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- Starting at the bottom. 20. - Oh, don't!- £20.
0:27:21 > 0:27:2422...25...28...£30...32...
0:27:24 > 0:27:2835...38...40...two...45...48...
0:27:28 > 0:27:3450...five...60...five...70... five...80...five...
0:27:34 > 0:27:3790...five....100.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39We'll do 105...ten.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42No, 105 so far.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- Oh!- Oh!- Well done.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49A respectable result on the garden seat.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Please be upstanding for Mr David Barby.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58More mock-intosh than Mackintosh, it's Margie's final item,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00the oak cabinet.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Need 28 move on. 28...£30...
0:28:02 > 0:28:0432, madam? Looking at 35, now...
0:28:04 > 0:28:09- Oh, this is a thrill. - ..35...- Good Lord!
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- Yeah, go on, just a bit more. - ..with shelves.
0:28:11 > 0:28:1335...38...£40.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- 42. Seems cheap, this... - Made a profit.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- 42.- ..42, new bid, 45.- Yes!
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- 48...50... - Oh, it's a sweet little thing.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Untidy figure, let's have a half-century...
0:28:25 > 0:28:26MARGIE LAUGHS
0:28:26 > 0:28:28- Yeah, it's going.- ..60 now...
0:28:28 > 0:28:30- Oh, I planned it like this! - 55 in stripes.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32At £55, are we done?
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Oh, bless it.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37I really liked that. I don't care.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- It's made a profit. - It's made a profit.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43Which puts Margie on course for her first victory.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- I doubted that it would... - I know you would, I know you did.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Right on cue, it's the snooker scoreboard.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54David needs a big break on this if he's going to defeat Margie.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Quite a bit of interest in this.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59170...180...190...
0:28:59 > 0:29:02200...210.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04(Yeah, two people at it.)
0:29:04 > 0:29:05You can relax now, David.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- ..230...240...- Look at this.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09..250...260...
0:29:09 > 0:29:11He's potted the black.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- ..270. - THEY GASP
0:29:13 > 0:29:18- 260 on the phone. So far at 260. Needs to be 270...- Come on.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19- We need a bigger break...- We do!
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- Shh!- 270, new bid.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- 280...- (Come on.)
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- 290...300...- Just thought I was getting ahead.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30310...320...
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Hammer's going to drop! All done, are we, at 320?
0:29:34 > 0:29:35In the home of snooker...
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- Well done, home of snooker, told you.- Oh!
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Well done.
0:29:40 > 0:29:46Look at that, top marks for David as he pockets the princely sum of £170.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50I think I need something quite strong.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54- I'll go for an orange juice, come on then.- Yeah, come on, but well done!
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Margie started this leg with £294.40
0:29:58 > 0:30:02and after auction costs she's made a profit of £79.40,
0:30:02 > 0:30:08increasing her spending power for the next round to £373.80.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18David started with £485.60 but even after the costs
0:30:18 > 0:30:22he has made a profit of £137.84,
0:30:22 > 0:30:28increasing his stash of cash to a mighty £623.44,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31claiming his third victory in a row.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36I'm going to keep trying, and I'm going to keep hopeful.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39And I'm going to burst into tears in a minute!
0:30:39 > 0:30:41The route for the trip
0:30:41 > 0:30:44takes our intrepid travellers from Alnwick in Northumberland
0:30:44 > 0:30:45down the North East coast
0:30:45 > 0:30:48and on to the final destination of Lincoln.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51But this leg begins in Sheffield
0:30:51 > 0:30:55and finishes at auction in Nottingham.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Sheffield, home of the three Ss - snooker, steel and...sunshine.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- Oh, this looks exciting! - Look at this glorious day.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Oh, there's the Emporium over there.
0:31:05 > 0:31:11The first shop for David and his bulging wallet of £623 is the Sheffield Antiques Centre,
0:31:11 > 0:31:13where owner Danny is waiting.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Hello!- Hello. - What have you got to show me, then?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Easy, tiger!
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Vanity Fair prints. There's a set of three.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- I can do you a good price if you're interested.- What's a good price?
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Well, make me an offer.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- They're marked up for 68.- Oh!
0:31:34 > 0:31:35Where's the smelling salts?!
0:31:35 > 0:31:38That's not too bad, they're good stuff.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40They're all the Spy section.
0:31:40 > 0:31:45Spy cartoons were drawn by portrait artist Sir Leslie Ward.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Between 1873 and 1911,
0:31:47 > 0:31:50he caricatured over 1,300 popular public figures
0:31:50 > 0:31:53for the Vanity Fair magazine.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56They've got to be very, very, very, very reasonable.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00I'll do half price, seeing it's you and you're good-looking.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03You've spoken one truthful word, yes.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- Shameless!- So...
0:32:05 > 0:32:08I'll drop another tenner if you give us a kiss.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- Oh, you know you want to. - So that brings it down to how much?
0:32:12 > 0:32:16- What were we on? Say 60 is 35... - That's 20.- Probably about 25 now.
0:32:16 > 0:32:2025... Two kisses would reduce it to...five.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Yeah, not that bloody good!
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Right, so you're offering me these at about £18, aren't you?
0:32:26 > 0:32:30I am, really, when you do the sums right, yes.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Go on, remember the kisses.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36They're a bonus, by the way. Not a punishment!
0:32:41 > 0:32:44£15.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- Deal.- Come on, then, pucker up.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Oh! Two, you said.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52That's the best bit!
0:32:52 > 0:32:57- Sealed with kisses, a deal done at £15.- Oh, gosh, what have I done?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59What have I done is what I'm worried about!
0:32:59 > 0:33:01# Kiss me... #
0:33:01 > 0:33:04OK, shall I continue looking whilst I'm here?
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Cartoons and kisses under his belt, David is left wanting more.
0:33:09 > 0:33:15Well, this is, erm... It purports to be a charcoal drawing.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17And this is the sort of image
0:33:17 > 0:33:21that you would have had drawn for Punch magazine
0:33:21 > 0:33:23by Gunning King.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26I'm interested in that one, I've bought the Spy prints,
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- and I think that could go with the Spy prints.- OK...
0:33:29 > 0:33:33So I've got...I've got cartoons of round about the same period,
0:33:33 > 0:33:37so that would have been Vanity Fair, and that's probably Punch
0:33:37 > 0:33:39or some ecclesiastical magazine or something like that.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42That's 23, it's a little on the top side.
0:33:42 > 0:33:47It's no frame and it's badly stained. What's the best you'd do on that?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Is that with or without more kisses, David?
0:33:50 > 0:33:51# Kiss me... #
0:33:51 > 0:33:53£18 for you, sir.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55- 18?- Yes.
0:33:55 > 0:34:01OK, so that's £18 and 15 on those. Super, er... Can I settle up in a...
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Do you want to take that down, and I'll settle up down there?
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Yes, certainly. - Shall I settle up with you here now?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09We've... Yes, I've got to give you the money.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Penny, are you going to take the money for me?
0:34:11 > 0:34:15There's five, ten,
0:34:15 > 0:34:16and that's £15.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- I think I ought to have those wrapped up, don't you?- David, crisis!
0:34:19 > 0:34:23- What?- As we put them back down again, one of the frames broke.
0:34:23 > 0:34:28- Sorry.- Oh!- I know... We were being so careful.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30What do you think?
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- Can you make some allowance, please? - You've had kisses.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40- I know. Can you let me have the three at tenner, then?- Yeah, deal.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- Well, that's...- Penny, money back. Give the gentleman £5 back.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48Thank you very much indeed. OK, I do appreciate that, thank you.
0:34:48 > 0:34:54Over at the Antiques Emporium, Margie wants to spend her £373 -
0:34:54 > 0:34:57oh, and 80p - but is feeling a bit stuck.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00I haven't got a clue, it's not like going to the fish shop,
0:35:00 > 0:35:02"Shall I have plaice or haddock?" is it?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05No, you just don't know what's going to...
0:35:05 > 0:35:07You can't say, "Oh, today I'm going to buy
0:35:07 > 0:35:11"a silver cream jug, Georgian," because you might not find it!
0:35:11 > 0:35:13So that's why it's so difficult.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Come on, Margie, David manages.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Oh, he manages!
0:35:19 > 0:35:23I will! At the end of the day,
0:35:23 > 0:35:27but this is a little bit sort of... a bit trinkety here, a bit trinket.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30That's a nice piece of furniture - it's a Georgian corner cupboard,
0:35:30 > 0:35:37very plain, very simple, probably around about 1760, 1780.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41145 for that one.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45- Well, he won't want to pay that! Anything else?- Not bad.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49- Oh, that's nice.- Yes.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54- Have you just done that up? - Just brought that one in, yeah.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55What's the price on that one?
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- 65...- 45 to you.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01But David's noticed the table is a marriage,
0:36:01 > 0:36:05where two pieces of different furniture have been combined.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- How much might did you say?- 45.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09That's a marriage.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11DANNY CHUCKLES
0:36:12 > 0:36:1435.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- 40.- 35.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Go on, then.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- Thank you very much. - Thank YOU very much. Thank you very much.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Right, let's have a look at these corner cupboards now.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31I can do that one... I'll do that one for 75.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33And that's your best on that?
0:36:33 > 0:36:37That'd be 60. It's got to be worth 60.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Missing shelf inside.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- 55. It's got to be about £55. - It's got to be 50.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- It's got to be 55.- 50, sir.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56Go on, then, because things are so bad, I'll take it, yeah!
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Margie hasn't been quite so lucky.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Empty-handed, she's itching to get into the Antiques Centre.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08Lagging behind, Margie makes a beeline for what she knows best,
0:37:08 > 0:37:09the silver.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14Oh, that's a Charles Horner. They're nice, very collectable.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Charles Horner of Halifax
0:37:17 > 0:37:20made his fortune making thimbles in the 19th century,
0:37:20 > 0:37:23allowing him to invest in more decorative silverware,
0:37:23 > 0:37:24such as hatpins.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- I've been having a long root in your cupboard.- Right.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30And you've got some very nice things.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32So...the dreaded...chat.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- How much for that one? - So if I bought all three...- Yeah.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41You've got £30 on each. Could you talk 70 for those?
0:37:44 > 0:37:46I'm not making anything!
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Oh, dear.- No, so 25 each is the bottom line, really.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- You're getting tough with me. - Yeah.- I don't blame you.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59So we're saying £75, yes? For the three.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00Thank you very much, thank you.
0:38:00 > 0:38:0220.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Once she starts spending, there's no stopping her,
0:38:04 > 0:38:07and it doesn't take long before something else catches her eye.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Oh, my goodness, what is that?
0:38:10 > 0:38:14If that was refurbed, I could see that fetching really strong money.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- Really?- I could, yeah. - You do surprise me!
0:38:18 > 0:38:21I think there's a definite future, as they say, in that one.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23SHE LAUGHS
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- It definitely looks antique.- Yes.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- That's got a fantastic look about it.- Yeah.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- I've just...- How much is it?- £25.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Well, I must admit, I quite like it.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36SHE MOUTHS
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Oh, God, I quite like those as well.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41These are really interesting, actually.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- They were full of acetate diagrams of machinery.- Yeah.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- And railway signage. - They seem to be just boxes there.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- And they're just boxes.- Right.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- I see the whole package at 65. - I can't, I just can't do it, no.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57£85 for the boxes and the fan.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04While Margie splashes the cash,
0:39:04 > 0:39:06David has jumped in the jalopy
0:39:06 > 0:39:10and is heading 30 miles to Buxton.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15David has travelled to the Buxton Museum to meet curator Ros Westwood
0:39:15 > 0:39:19to find out all about the Douglas Collection and the man behind it.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23- Hello!- Hello, I'm Ros. - Hello, David Barby.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25I've come to see something rather special.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29- You've come to see something which isn't normally on show...- Oh, right!
0:39:29 > 0:39:32..and, er...which is very popular,
0:39:32 > 0:39:35and we're the only museum, I think, in the country
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- with Houdini material. - Houdini material.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43Hungarian-born but American-raised, Erik Weisz was a global phenomenon.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Better known as Harry Houdini,
0:39:45 > 0:39:49he became the greatest illusionist of the 20th century.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51And how did you get hold of this?
0:39:51 > 0:39:55It comes to us from Randolph and Hetty Douglas.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00Local lad Randolph Douglas loved locks.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Son of a silversmith, he had a fascination with
0:40:03 > 0:40:07the mechanics of keys, padlocks and escapology.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09His life was to change at the age of nine-years-old
0:40:09 > 0:40:15after meeting Houdini at the Sheffield Empire in 1904.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Randolph Douglas went to the stage door
0:40:19 > 0:40:23- and said, "I think I know how your trick worked."- Oh, really?
0:40:23 > 0:40:27And Houdini thought, "Hmm, better check this out,"
0:40:27 > 0:40:30and he went round to the house for supper.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- Yes.- And...- He knew the trick.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35- Randolph had worked out the trick. - Goodness me!
0:40:35 > 0:40:41And in honour of his hero, he called himself Randini.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44It's said that if Houdini was playing in England,
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Douglas was behind stage.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50From that initial meeting, the pair became lifelong friends.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Houdini would send Douglas
0:40:52 > 0:40:55postcards and artefacts from all over the world
0:40:55 > 0:40:57which later formed his collection,
0:40:57 > 0:40:59now preserved in the vaults of the museum.
0:41:00 > 0:41:06- Is this Houdini or...? - This is Houdini as a young man.
0:41:06 > 0:41:12But you can see, "Best wishes, your friend, Houdini."
0:41:12 > 0:41:17And dated, er...1920, that one is.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Oh, that is lovely.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24- What an elegant guy. - He was quite a stunner.- Yeah.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Inspired by his handsome hero,
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Douglas would practise great tricks of his own
0:41:29 > 0:41:33under the guise of his alter ego, the Great Randini.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36- This is Randini.- Oh, that's...- 1913.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38- That's him in a suitcase or box. - Turn it over.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42And try and read.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44"Endurance test.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48"Remained in steel trunk in upside-down position
0:41:48 > 0:41:50"three hours and ten minutes.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55"The only means of getting air, through the hinge gaps in the trunk."
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Oh, dear, I find that quite uncomfortable.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Douglas designed many tricks of his own,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03and whenever he met Houdini, they would exchange ideas.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05But there was one in particular
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Douglas created especially for the great illusionist.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13On one occasion, Douglas invites Houdini back to the house
0:42:13 > 0:42:16and demonstrates the hanging upside down
0:42:16 > 0:42:18and getting out of a straitjacket trick.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Within two years, Houdini has perfected that
0:42:22 > 0:42:26and is doing it on the bridges in America
0:42:26 > 0:42:29to rave crowds watching it.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Oh, there he is, upside down.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33And this is the upside-down trick on which...
0:42:33 > 0:42:39- erm, which is based on Randini's designs.- Ideas.- Ideas.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Sadly, Douglas never made it as a performer,
0:42:42 > 0:42:44but he lived his dream through Houdini
0:42:44 > 0:42:46and his collection of press cuttings.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50And so the pages go on until we get a whole pile of blank pages.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54And the blank pages go on and on and on
0:42:54 > 0:42:56until all of a sudden...
0:42:57 > 0:43:01..you get the news, November 14th 1926,
0:43:01 > 0:43:02and the death of Houdini.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06And you sort of... just those empty pages,
0:43:06 > 0:43:11you can feel Douglas getting a real hit in the stomach
0:43:11 > 0:43:14with the loss of his friend.
0:43:14 > 0:43:15But why the empty pages?
0:43:16 > 0:43:19Probably because he had the cuttings
0:43:19 > 0:43:21and he would have done it later.
0:43:23 > 0:43:24But then, all of a sudden...
0:43:26 > 0:43:29..the news comes through, and those have to be put in first.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31And then he loses...
0:43:31 > 0:43:34You know, his friend has gone, and you just sort of get so...
0:43:34 > 0:43:37I always feel very sad when I get to this.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40There are just four pages, and that's it.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44Ros, I...I don't really know what to say,
0:43:44 > 0:43:47because there's overwhelming sadness.
0:43:47 > 0:43:52You show me two lives, intertwined.
0:43:52 > 0:43:57Houdini and then his adoring fan, Randini, or Mr Douglas.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01Thank you very much indeed. It's been absolutely fascinating.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06Back on the road, Margie has made a quick escape of her own
0:44:06 > 0:44:10to carry on shopping in Chesterfield.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12In you go, then, Margie.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15Right, it all looks very, very interesting.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18Ah! Ah-ha-ha! What are these?
0:44:19 > 0:44:20Ah...
0:44:20 > 0:44:22These look nice.
0:44:23 > 0:44:28Four...silver...salts.
0:44:28 > 0:44:33Normally, you have a...a salt and a little salt spoon.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36Everybody can have one, can't they?
0:44:36 > 0:44:39Rather than keep... offering the salt pot around.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43So they're 135, which is just a little bit...
0:44:43 > 0:44:45which is too much for me.
0:44:45 > 0:44:50- So what can you do for me? - Well, I can do you those for 75.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52Yeah, 75, right.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54- Bearing in mind... - To give you a chance.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57Bearing in mind I've got to sell them at auction mighty quick.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59- Yes, exactly, but... - So a teeny bit more?
0:45:02 > 0:45:04- Erm...70?- I was thinking 65.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07- OK, yeah. You got me. - That's fantastic.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10- Give you a chance.- That gives me a chance.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12Bye, thank you!
0:45:12 > 0:45:15So, David said I'm good at buying silver.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18That's what I've done. And I'm very pleased.
0:45:18 > 0:45:23Good, Margie. Now, talk of the old devil - where's he got to?
0:45:23 > 0:45:27Ah, he's off to Leek. It's his age, don't you know!
0:45:27 > 0:45:30Isn't that a stunning view? That really is lovely.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33Only joking! Following the Industrial Revolution,
0:45:33 > 0:45:37Leek became a major producer of textiles and silk.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40Now many of the town's mills have been converted into flats
0:45:40 > 0:45:44and even antique shops. Like this one.
0:45:44 > 0:45:48- Hi, David Barby.- Hello David, how are you?- I'm fine. Your name is?
0:45:48 > 0:45:50- John.- pleased to meet you, John.
0:45:50 > 0:45:54Thanks, John. This emporium covers 40,000 square feet.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57Wow! Better get a shift on, David.
0:45:58 > 0:46:02This is a nice barometer. This one here is a beauty.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05In fact, there is a picture with that. I'll go and get it.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09Hmm - could this be two for the price of one?
0:46:10 > 0:46:13All right, David. Actually, this came from the same house.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16I believe they came together.
0:46:18 > 0:46:23I can see the association now. The sailors, and the anchor.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26Yep, lovely, isn't it?
0:46:26 > 0:46:29If you would like to give me, say, £30 for the barometer,
0:46:29 > 0:46:34- I'll throw the picture in, because I'd like to keep them together.- £30.
0:46:34 > 0:46:38I've just looked at the face and it's a paper face.
0:46:38 > 0:46:4225 for the two pieces. That's the best I can do.
0:46:42 > 0:46:43Hmm.
0:46:44 > 0:46:48- You've twisted my arm. - You've broken mine!
0:46:48 > 0:46:50THEY LAUGH
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Oh, dear.
0:46:54 > 0:46:58With the clock ticking, David still needs to find that star buy.
0:46:58 > 0:47:00Could it be here?
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Hello, it's David Barby. You're...?
0:47:02 > 0:47:05- Robert.- I have a limited time to find a bargain.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07I'm sure you'll find one in there somewhere.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09- Will you help me? - I will, come on, then.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13Hot on David's heels - look who's rolled into town.
0:47:15 > 0:47:16Wow! What a massive place.
0:47:16 > 0:47:20Tick-tock then, Margie. No time to hang about, darling.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41This is quite an interesting piece of furniture.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43Although it has been altered in its day.
0:47:43 > 0:47:47It dates from probably the beginning of the 20th Century.
0:47:47 > 0:47:54Round about sort of 1910, 1915, before the First World War.
0:47:54 > 0:47:59And it smacks of the sort of style that we know as Vienna Secessionist.
0:47:59 > 0:48:00And this was a group of artists
0:48:00 > 0:48:05that broke away from the mainstream art style, which was Art Nouveau.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08One thing that worries me very much
0:48:08 > 0:48:11is that it's not in its original state.
0:48:11 > 0:48:18You know, we've got one, two, three, four original sections missing,
0:48:18 > 0:48:22haven't we? And they would have been projecting hooks there and there.
0:48:22 > 0:48:27And probably larger ones, for hats. So that all is replacement.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32Which would be for hats and coats and things.
0:48:32 > 0:48:36Looks like Margie's found the outdoor section.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40Looks like, is that a genuine one? That's a lot, 75 quid.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45Oh, it weighs a ton.
0:48:45 > 0:48:49It's got that nice little fleur-de-lis there.
0:48:49 > 0:48:50Which has broken off, there.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54These Victorian hoppers were part of the household guttering system.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57I think I'll just have a word with that chap downstairs.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00Both decorative and functional,
0:49:00 > 0:49:03they would have funnelled rainwater into the down pipes.
0:49:03 > 0:49:06- I just thought it was quite interesting.- That's lovely.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09- Yeah, and a very faded ticket. - Is it?
0:49:09 > 0:49:14The faded owner says...£40.
0:49:15 > 0:49:19£40. Is there a little bit more?
0:49:19 > 0:49:23- Does 38 sound better? - Shall we go for 35?- No.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25THEY LAUGH
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Oh, God. She's beating me up. I'll go to 35.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31Fantastic! Thanks, mate, very much.
0:49:31 > 0:49:35- How much is it?- 275. - That your very best on that?
0:49:37 > 0:49:39Your very best?
0:49:39 > 0:49:44I'll strike a deal with you. If it'll help you, I'll do it at 225.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46Let's have a look at it from a distance.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48I'll pull it out.
0:49:54 > 0:49:58It is a monster. Could you do it at 200? Give me a margin.
0:50:00 > 0:50:01I'll go 210.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03£210.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06We all have to take a gamble from time to time.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08I know, I know.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10All right, 210.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13Oh, my God, what have I done?
0:50:13 > 0:50:14£210.
0:50:14 > 0:50:19Every time I make a big, big purchase, it goes backside uppers.
0:50:19 > 0:50:20HE LAUGHS
0:50:20 > 0:50:23Backside up is the polite way of putting it.
0:50:23 > 0:50:24Absolutely.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30- Ah, look who's here! - Have you done well, love?
0:50:30 > 0:50:32- You'll never guess what I bought.- Really?
0:50:32 > 0:50:35- Did I miss something in there? - I think you did, actually.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38- What did you buy? - You'll have to find out, won't you?
0:50:38 > 0:50:41It's for me to know and you to find out!
0:50:41 > 0:50:44Don't worry, David, not long before you discover all,
0:50:44 > 0:50:47for that's the shopping all done and dusted.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49So let's recap on what our experts have bought.
0:50:49 > 0:50:53Margie began this leg with £373.80
0:50:53 > 0:50:58and spent £260 on five auction lots: a 1920s electric fan,
0:50:58 > 0:51:03a set of six archive boxes, three Charles Horner hatpins,
0:51:03 > 0:51:09a set of four Edwardian salts, and two Victorian cast-iron drain heads.
0:51:09 > 0:51:13David kicked off with a bumper £623.44,
0:51:13 > 0:51:17and has splashed out £340 on five lots.
0:51:17 > 0:51:21They are: three Leslie Ward Spy prints
0:51:21 > 0:51:24and a drawing from Punch magazine, an oak top table,
0:51:24 > 0:51:26a George III corner cupboard,
0:51:26 > 0:51:29a barometer with a photograph of two sailors,
0:51:29 > 0:51:32and an early 20th-century hall stand.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34So, chap and chapess,
0:51:34 > 0:51:36What do you think of each other's pieces?
0:51:36 > 0:51:39I was really surprised at what he bought this time.
0:51:39 > 0:51:43Interesting item, but is that going to make the money?
0:51:43 > 0:51:47And he spent over £200 on it. Bit of a worry for him, I think.
0:51:47 > 0:51:53So, have I got a chance? Maybe. I've got some quirky items there.
0:51:53 > 0:51:57I think she's chosen exceedingly well. And quite varied.
0:51:57 > 0:52:01She bought those, what I thought rather uninteresting hatpins,
0:52:01 > 0:52:04for £75, which was an absolute gift.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06And I can see those going for over £100.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10Whether, in fact, I shall be excited at the auction, I don't know!
0:52:12 > 0:52:16It's been a busy old trip from Sheffield
0:52:16 > 0:52:18via Buxton, Chesterfield, and Leek,
0:52:18 > 0:52:20and there's just one last jaunt -
0:52:20 > 0:52:23on to the auction in Nottingham.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25I think it's going to be your day, Margie.
0:52:25 > 0:52:26Feeling a bit confident.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28- Are you really?- Yeah, I am. - Oh, that's good.
0:52:28 > 0:52:33Today our experts are doing battle at Mellors & Kirk,
0:52:33 > 0:52:35presided over by Nigel Kirk.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38Kicking off, it's Margie's well-seasoned
0:52:38 > 0:52:39Edwardian salt cellars.
0:52:39 > 0:52:4130?
0:52:41 > 0:52:4430 I am bid. Thank you. At 30. Five? Five. 40? 40.
0:52:44 > 0:52:4845? 45. 50? £45.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51(Oh, you are joking...!)
0:52:51 > 0:52:5555. 60? £55 to sell?
0:52:57 > 0:52:59Oh, golly gee.
0:52:59 > 0:53:00Forget the table salt,
0:53:00 > 0:53:04it's smelling salts that Margie needs after that loss!
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Shall I lodge a complaint?
0:53:07 > 0:53:09Ten pounds? Oh!
0:53:09 > 0:53:12Can David do any better with his first item?
0:53:12 > 0:53:14The George III corner cupboard.
0:53:14 > 0:53:1620? 20 I am bid.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19£20 and five? 30?
0:53:19 > 0:53:2330. 35? £30.
0:53:23 > 0:53:27I shall sell it for 35. 40? £35.
0:53:27 > 0:53:31That is so stupid. Don't you think that that is ridiculous?
0:53:31 > 0:53:34Oh, dear. A loss for David too.
0:53:35 > 0:53:39- That is terrible.- It is terrible!
0:53:39 > 0:53:42- That's 15...- Oh, God. - Oh, dear, dear...!
0:53:42 > 0:53:46Can Margie's silver hatpins hold it together?
0:53:46 > 0:53:48I like these.
0:53:48 > 0:53:4930 bid, thank you.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52At 40. 50? 50. 60 for you?
0:53:52 > 0:53:5460 in the corner. 70?
0:53:54 > 0:53:5670 now. 80? 90?
0:53:56 > 0:53:598...£90. £80 rather! It's my bid.
0:53:59 > 0:54:02Here at £80. You're quite sure at the back? At 80.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04Well, at least they made a profit.
0:54:04 > 0:54:08Hooray! The first profit - £5 for Margie.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11So... shall we have an early lunch?
0:54:11 > 0:54:12Don't worry. Mine's next.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15Yep, the pressure's on, David.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18It's his oak barometer and sailor picture, next.
0:54:18 > 0:54:20£20 for it, please. 20 I am bid.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22Thank you. At 20 and five. Five.
0:54:22 > 0:54:2730? 30. 35? £30. Five anywhere?
0:54:27 > 0:54:28£30 all done.
0:54:28 > 0:54:31That's wiped out on the commission.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34A small ray of sunshine and a small profit,
0:54:34 > 0:54:36but not enough to get David out of the red.
0:54:36 > 0:54:40- Well, you couldn't expect any more, could you?- What was it - 35?
0:54:40 > 0:54:44- No, 30.- Oh, is that all?!
0:54:45 > 0:54:49Next up for Margie, it's the pair of cast iron rain hoppers.
0:54:49 > 0:54:50£30 for them, please?
0:54:50 > 0:54:5430 I am bid. Here on the book at 30. 35. 40 for them?
0:54:54 > 0:54:5840. 45. 50. 55.
0:54:58 > 0:55:0160. £60, against the room.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04With me the bid, and selling on the book at £60.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07- That is good! - Actually made a profit!
0:55:07 > 0:55:11At last! She's broken the downward trend.
0:55:11 > 0:55:13Hallelujah. The dinner's on me.
0:55:13 > 0:55:15HE CHUCKLES
0:55:15 > 0:55:18A bag of chips each?
0:55:18 > 0:55:21David's prospects are looking sketchy.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23But can he boost his piggy bank with the cartoon collection?
0:55:23 > 0:55:2620 I am bid. Thank you, at 20.
0:55:26 > 0:55:2925, madam. 30, sir? 30. 35?
0:55:29 > 0:55:31£30 only bid.
0:55:31 > 0:55:34I can't believe this... I can't believe this!
0:55:34 > 0:55:38£40, 45, and 50? £45 all done.
0:55:38 > 0:55:40All done at 45. 492.
0:55:40 > 0:55:45- That was OK, wasn't it?- At last, something for David to smile about.
0:55:45 > 0:55:47Or maybe not.
0:55:47 > 0:55:52That cartoon should have done 60 in its own right.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55Margie's storage boxes are up next.
0:55:55 > 0:55:59But will they prove to be a DRAWER in the quiet auction room?
0:55:59 > 0:56:02£20 asked for them. 20. 30. 40? 40. 50 for them?
0:56:02 > 0:56:08£40. £50? 60? £50. Back of the room. Selling. £50.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11- I've only lost a tenner. - Not as bad as you thought.
0:56:11 > 0:56:13Oh, thank you so much!
0:56:13 > 0:56:15What is going on? Another loss.
0:56:15 > 0:56:19Perhaps the boxes should have been consigned to the archive!
0:56:19 > 0:56:22Come on, David. You've got some catching up to do.
0:56:22 > 0:56:24With a pretty little oak table.
0:56:24 > 0:56:26£20 please? 20 I am bid. At 20.
0:56:26 > 0:56:30Five, 30. 35. 40? 45.
0:56:30 > 0:56:32Oops! Seems to have cleared the auction room.
0:56:32 > 0:56:36Selling at £45.
0:56:36 > 0:56:39- Should've done better than that. - Yeah, should have done.
0:56:39 > 0:56:42With such small profits and so many losses,
0:56:42 > 0:56:44this auction could go either way for our experts.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46I do not have any hope.
0:56:48 > 0:56:52Can Margie's vintage fan create a stir?
0:56:52 > 0:56:55£20 for it, please? 20? 20 I am bid.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57Thank you. At 20 and five?
0:56:57 > 0:57:0230? 30. Five? £30, in the front row. Any more? £30. I shall sell it.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05Another five. All we're capable of is fivers.
0:57:05 > 0:57:08Oh, dear. A cool response to the electric fan.
0:57:08 > 0:57:11It was hardly worth carrying it out of the shop!
0:57:11 > 0:57:13It weighs a ton!
0:57:13 > 0:57:18Now, David's Star Buy. The oak hall stand.
0:57:18 > 0:57:21£50 for it, please? £50, I am bid.
0:57:21 > 0:57:23At 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100.
0:57:23 > 0:57:31110, 120, 130 140, 150 for it?
0:57:31 > 0:57:33- £140!- Oh, no!
0:57:33 > 0:57:35Oh, no!
0:57:35 > 0:57:40A gob-smacking loss on David's most expensive item
0:57:40 > 0:57:42which can only mean one thing.
0:57:42 > 0:57:46- Congratulations, you've won today. - Sorry for your loss.
