0:00:02 > 0:00:05The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each and one big challenge.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Testing, testing.
0:00:08 > 0:00:13- Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?- It's a deal!
0:00:13 > 0:00:17The aim is to trade up and hope each antique turns a profit.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20But it's not as easy as it sounds and there can only be one winner.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Yes!
0:00:22 > 0:00:26So will it be the highway to success or the B-road to bankruptcy?
0:00:26 > 0:00:28I'm feeling very sorry for myself.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:37 > 0:00:43We're in Edinburgh today, on the road and the pavements with auctioneer James Lewis.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45And fine art valuer Kate Bliss.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47You made me jump out of my skin.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- How are you? - Welcome back- What a warm welcome.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52These must be our cosiest competitors.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54- I felt awful not being here. - I missed you.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- It was a good auction though wasn't it?- It seemed fantastic.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03James missed it but Kate made the most money at yesterday's auction here at Edinburgh.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06She'd taken a gamble on a pair of candelabrum.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09They weren't cheap but made a great profit.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14At 380 last call at 380 and I'm selling them at 380.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16380? Yes!
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Kate was miles behind James in terms of buying power but now the gap is closing
0:01:21 > 0:01:25and she has £497.55 in her purse today
0:01:25 > 0:01:29thanks to the candelabrum success and James doubted her on them.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34I remember showing you and you sort of went, "How much?!"
0:01:34 > 0:01:36I thought we were going to both crash and burn.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Er, perhaps a touch of false modesty there James.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42It would take a lot for him to crash and burn at this stage.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46James has been well out in front profit-wise all week.
0:01:46 > 0:01:53His pockets are bulging with £1,006.95 to spend on this leg of the journey.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57They're staying put in Edinburgh today for more antique searching.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01I'm quite excited, because I think there is going to be some
0:02:01 > 0:02:05really good things here but it could be quite expensive being Edinburgh.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I agree, it's going to be very expensive here.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11James and Kate started their week in Helmsdale
0:02:11 > 0:02:16and are taking the roads both high and low to the delights of Ayr.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20On this leg they'll ferret out bargains in the Scottish capital
0:02:20 > 0:02:25and the village of Croftamie and then head for auction in Hamilton.
0:02:26 > 0:02:32Edinburgh's sometimes fondly called Auld Reekie, that's Scots for Old Smoky
0:02:32 > 0:02:37because there was smoke aplenty back in the day of coal and wood fires.
0:02:37 > 0:02:44These days it's a tourist mecca so antique prices might be high and there's another challenge.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Their next auction in Hamilton will be quite different from the Edinburgh one.
0:02:48 > 0:02:55The word from the auction house there is that it's a general household sale with only a small antique section.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01- So what's James's strategy? - There's nothing I love more than spending money, I love it,
0:03:01 > 0:03:05but if we're going to take these things to this auction room
0:03:05 > 0:03:10it means really that I can't buy the very finest things.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15I've got to be sensible. I can't spend a lot of money here, it would be suicide.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16So melodramatic, old chap.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19It's a competition, not a matter of life or death!
0:03:19 > 0:03:25But if you're going to play it safe, maybe Kate can win this leg as well as the last.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28She's starting her search today in an antique shop with a difference.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33Frenchman Cedric sells antiques at the back but the front of the shop
0:03:33 > 0:03:37is his own little tea emporium with 65 flavours on offer.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Let's hope Kate doesn't look for her fortune in the tea leaves.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Morning.- Morning.- How are you?
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Hi, I'm Kate. How do you do?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I'm Cedric. Pleased to meet you.
0:03:46 > 0:03:52Is the mild-mannered Cedric Kate's next victim in the bargaining charm offensive?
0:03:52 > 0:03:57She's learned fast this week how to parlez her charms into bargaining power.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Couldn't you do just a nice round figure of 20.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Just for me?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- 55?- And she's not above using emotional manipulation.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13I've just got to beat the other guy, the problem is James is just
0:04:13 > 0:04:18streaking ahead and I've got to try my very best.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Now she's spotted a cafe au lait set.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26It was the French who first added milk to coffee.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29They didn't care for the Turkish style of drinking it black.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31So coffee and hot milk.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- That's correct yes.- The French way?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36And you would have to pour them together.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Ah, is that very important?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Well, some people think it's important.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44It's a bit like would you put milk first or...
0:04:44 > 0:04:49In tea? I'm definitely a milk afterwards person. Are you milk first?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- I don't do milk at all.- You don't do milk at all. Typically French.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53It's always my problem.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Is our English rose flirting with the Frenchman over coffee?
0:04:58 > 0:05:03The jugs are late Victorian and silver-plated but priced at £75.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06OK, I'll have a think on those.
0:05:06 > 0:05:12As luck would have it, James might have picked the right shop for a general household sale,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14but what's he made a beeline for?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Top hats!- With these silk top hats
0:05:17 > 0:05:23occasionally if you get a big one and it's right for the modern day big heads like mine
0:05:23 > 0:05:28they make quite a lot of money - £500 to £800. Small one - 20 quid.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33Absolute nightmare to sell but for those of you who go to Ascot
0:05:33 > 0:05:39or Royal Ascot, these things can be £3,000, £4,000 from a retailer
0:05:39 > 0:05:44so keep your eyes open in the antiques shops and if it's a big size, buy it if it's cheap.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Top tip, James.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Better diet these days means bigger bones, so there's money in finding
0:05:50 > 0:05:54an antique top hat to fit the modern head.
0:05:54 > 0:06:01And thoughts of Ascot lead James in the direction of champagne - a champagne bucket, to be precise.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07It's not great quality but at the end of the day, it's a tenner.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10This champagne bucket is a classic campana shape,
0:06:10 > 0:06:15inspired by the shape of lots of artefacts excavated from Pompeii.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20A similar silver plated example from say 1800 might fetch
0:06:20 > 0:06:25around £500 at auction but this a very recent and cheap reproduction.
0:06:25 > 0:06:31- It's glitzy. - Correct me if I'm wrong but is this not the ANTIQUE Road Trip?
0:06:35 > 0:06:40That's more like it, a cast iron door knocker with an un-engraved brass plaque.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- How much is the door knocker?- £25.
0:06:43 > 0:06:4525? Blimey!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47That's not expensive.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49It's a nice early thing.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Gosh.
0:06:54 > 0:07:00The difficulty is for me I love this door knocker - it's got everything about it, it's architectural,
0:07:00 > 0:07:05it's a good, solid casting, it's got a plaque at the top to engrave the name of the house.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I guess it's about 1850, lovely.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14That would really set off a fine Edinburgh town house, it really would.
0:07:14 > 0:07:22Alas, the auction's in Hamilton but it's only £25 and you do have over £1,000 to spend.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27Kate's moved on from a pair of coffee pots to a pair of table lamps.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31They've got a bit of a look about them, I think.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34But she's also veered off the antique track.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I don't think they're very old at all.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41These things can be knocked out quite quickly but
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I think it's quite nice to have the pair.
0:07:45 > 0:07:52They're antique in style but as Kate suspects, the lamps are a very recent reproduction and the high
0:07:52 > 0:07:58polish finish suggests they're not a good quality English alabaster, which tends to be more matte.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02These are probably a white soapstone so if Kate's going to buy them
0:08:02 > 0:08:06she doesn't want to pay Cedric's asking price of £60.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Let's hope the flirting over coffee has softened him up.
0:08:09 > 0:08:16The best I could do on those is £40 for the pair. That's the really...
0:08:16 > 0:08:22That is the lowest. I was really hoping for - it's really cheeky - I was thinking around 20.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26That is very low. I couldn't really do that, sorry.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33That's a lot.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Could you help any more at all?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Erm, I could go halfway and I could do 30.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42You could do 30.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43But that's...
0:08:45 > 0:08:49the very, very best I can do.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Mm-hm. Let me have another look at them.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55On the road this week, as well as bargaining with ladylike charm,
0:08:55 > 0:09:02Kate's also played the uncomfortable silence tactic to good effect, but usually the dealer is present.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07I'm not sure out-silencing the lamp bases on your own is going to work.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21Cedric. Final offer, can you do 25 cash?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25HE LAUGHS
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- You're very hard.- Just for me.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Just for you?
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- Right, OK.- Could you?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- In this particular case, yes. - I'll buy a cup of tea from you.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37That's very kind of you.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41That would be brilliant, all right, thank you very much indeed.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Put a premium on that cup of tea, Cedric!
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Across town I sense James is gearing up for some negotiation.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Owner Bobby is only asking for £25 for the door knocker
0:09:52 > 0:09:57and £10 for the glitzy champagne bucket. Let's see what happens.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01OK.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03What would you do the two for?
0:10:03 > 0:10:08If only Bobby realised just how much money James actually has.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I'll take a tenner off the two.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13At that you've got a deal.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16You've got a deal.
0:10:16 > 0:10:22Well, there we go, I don't know if I've made a complete and utter howler or done a really good deal.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- So we'll see.- What do you mean, a howler? You spent £25,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29with the warm champagne thrown in as well! That's brilliant.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Kate's moved on to her next shop.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37It's got all sorts of treasures and it seems another one is on the way.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Hello.- Hey, what are you doing here?
0:10:40 > 0:10:45Of all the places, of all the antiques shops in all of Edinburgh you had to come into mine.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Enough of the Bogart impressions, Kate upstairs, James down.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54MUSIC: "As Time Goes By"
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Yeah, there's some brilliant things in this shop. Absolutely brilliant.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Ooh, Kate has tripped over a bargain already.
0:11:04 > 0:11:10They're obviously some kind of medical instruments but I don't know what on earth they're for.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Anyway, they're all stamped.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Has James found anything as intriguing?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19No, I'd say not.
0:11:19 > 0:11:26But Kate has found owner Lewis to enlighten her on the strange surgical instruments.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- They're forceps for delivering babies.- Are they? They're forceps.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33And they're all different sizes.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Gosh, that makes me wince.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Hmm, and probably not something that would do well for you in a general sale.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46I'm not finding this very easy at all.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Loads of stuff,
0:11:48 > 0:11:53some interesting, but the interesting things are really very well priced.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56They're worth it, it's not a rip off,
0:11:56 > 0:12:00but there is certainly quite a way to go before I can even start to
0:12:00 > 0:12:03think about negotiating with it.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Oh, come on, James, you've got stacks of cash. Live a little.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Aren't they fun? - That's more like it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Fancy dress outfits, 19th century or Edwardian.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25My friends normally get me dressed up as Henry VIII when we go to a fancy dress party.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29I don't have to make much effort to look like Henry VIII.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34Henry VIII downstairs and is that a French schoolgirl upstairs?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Is the bow meant to be at the back?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39The hat's just the start of it for Kate.
0:12:39 > 0:12:47Vintage clothing and accessories are all the rage these days and there are decades' worth to choose from.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Even men are getting in on the act.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Is James looking for a cardigan, perhaps?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Hi! What do you think?- Suits you.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Do you want to swap?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Yep, ready to swap. I could spend a fortune on clothes up here.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Do you know there's a jacket that might just suit you in there? - Oh, really?
0:13:10 > 0:13:17- She clearly means this one. - Well, you'd hope but who knows how Kate mentally dresses you?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Well, I hope she means this one, all the others are women's.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Mmm, I don't think I want to know.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Kate's now spotted an umbrella with a little eye-catching extra.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Hmm.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Now that, to me, says 18 carat,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37which is rather smart
0:13:37 > 0:13:41and you've got the name inside.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44It says Paragon
0:13:44 > 0:13:48and then it says S Fox and Co Ltd, made in England
0:13:48 > 0:13:51and there's a little symbol of a running fox.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Fox and Paragon are among the oldest and most famous names in umbrellas.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Samuel Fox revolutionised umbrella manufacturing in the mid-1850s
0:14:01 > 0:14:05with the U-shaped Paragon steel rib design.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10So I would say in date this is probably '40s.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15It's a lovely bit of vintage accoutrement, if you like.
0:14:15 > 0:14:21This accoutrement, or accessory, used to be just for ladies.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Men were considered wet if they used an umbrella but thankfully
0:14:23 > 0:14:28the brolly caught on in Britain as a unisex item in the mid-18th century.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Well, the price tag is £45
0:14:33 > 0:14:35which I don't think is too bad.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41Maybe not if it were going to a vintage specialist sale, Kate, but it isn't.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I don't know, it's a real gamble. I certainly wouldn't want to pay £45
0:14:44 > 0:14:47so I think it's all down to what I can negotiate.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Let's go and have a chat.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58I'm beaten, I think I'm beaten.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I hate being beaten.
0:15:02 > 0:15:08Beaten? A jam-packed shop and close to £1,000 in your pocket?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Surely he can find something here.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Kate has. And just what technique will she try on Lewis?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17£45.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- £25.- Here we go...
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Hmm. Let me put you in the picture.
0:15:22 > 0:15:28My opponent is streaking ahead of me at auction in that he's
0:15:28 > 0:15:32got double my profit almost, in fact I think he's got a bit more.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35So I really am in desperate straits.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39So I could do with a really, really
0:15:39 > 0:15:41good price.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- If possible.- 20?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48It's a very nice handle
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- and it even works.- Mmm.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Could we say ten?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Just for me?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00We could say 15.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- 12?- Yeah. OK.- Thank you very much.
0:16:04 > 0:16:10Poor Lewis didn't stand a chance against Kate's sob story and big doe eyes.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13She really milked it!
0:16:13 > 0:16:20And heavens above, has James finally found something suitable for his self-imposed stingy strategy?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28That is a classic bit of Art Deco ceramics.
0:16:28 > 0:16:34Made around 1925, 1935 everything about that screams Deco.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39Its shape, with these buttress legs, these great big mad, meant to be
0:16:39 > 0:16:44fruits I guess, or stylised flower heads but mad colours.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47And it all clashes, one thing after another.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51The shape clashes with the colour, the colours clash with one another.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56Maker, Myatt and Sons, made in England.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Hmm... it's not a great maker but it's got a bit of a look to it.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06Myatt and Sons' Staffordshire pottery was more the poor man's version of Art Deco.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11They tended to be slightly behind the times with their designs.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15This globular style vase was popular in the mid-1920s
0:17:15 > 0:17:20but Myatt and sons didn't produce their own Bulb Bowl until 1933.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Lewis.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24How much is that, please?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27£10 for that.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I don't think there's any cracks in it.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- RINGS - No that's absolutely fine.
0:17:34 > 0:17:41If the vase was cracked, it would make a flat sound but this one rings clear, so not bad for a tenner.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I'll take that.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Thank you very much, that's very reasonable indeed.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51Lovely. Thank you so much and I hope I don't drop it.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56Please don't drop it. I couldn't go through this whole routine again.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59There is absolutely no chance of me spending a lot of money.
0:17:59 > 0:18:05I'm happy to take a gamble, I'm not happy to commit suicide, that's the difference.
0:18:05 > 0:18:11Oh, there you go again with the life and death thing, it's only a game, loosen up!
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Kate must be feeling confident about the two buys under her belt.
0:18:15 > 0:18:22She's headed to Edinburgh's Royal Mile to meet Rosalyn Harkness at the camera obscura.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Hi.- Kate? Hello. Nice to see you.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Hi, thanks for having me. - Not a problem.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Come along and I'll show you inside.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Great. It's such a great building. - It's beautiful, isn't it?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Camera obscura is the name given to an optical device which creates an
0:18:37 > 0:18:45inverted image of an outside scene by letting light rays pass through a pinhole into a darkened room.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Edinburgh does the camera obscura on a grand scale.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52So this is where it all happens, is it, Roslyn?
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Yes, this is the camera obscura, Kate, it's essentially like walking
0:18:56 > 0:19:00inside a giant camera, same sort of principle.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05It's not a camera in the modern sense because it only projects images, in this case three lenses and a mirror
0:19:05 > 0:19:13in a periscope at the top of the tower reflect a 360 degree panorama of Edinburgh city.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16It might take your eyes a couple of minutes to adjust, as you can see.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Wow! It's great it's such a clear day isn't it, that we can see so far.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Ooh there's a seagull.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Gosh. it's amazing, you can see the flag blowing in the wind up there.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Look at that, it just brings it alive, doesn't it?
0:19:29 > 0:19:33It really makes you realise what you're looking at.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38Edinburgh's camera obscura exists thanks to Maria Short.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43She set this up in the 1850s and it's been open to the public ever since.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46In Victorian times, when she started it here in 1853,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48people could come and look as they do today.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Absolutely, and they were terrified, some of them.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Obviously, Victorians, some of them hadn't even seen a photograph
0:19:55 > 0:19:58so when ladies saw these live, moving, colour images,
0:19:58 > 0:20:02some of them were absolutely terrified and were known to faint.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07Improved lenses in the 19th century saw grand-scale camera obscuras
0:20:07 > 0:20:12like this one become popular as entertainment, especially in picturesque areas.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- This is the castle, then? - That's correct. Edinburgh Castle.
0:20:15 > 0:20:21But in the 17th and 18th centuries, small, portable devices were used as drawing aids.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25The reason I know the camera obscura is the way it was used in art
0:20:25 > 0:20:28many centuries ago, because a lot of the old masters -
0:20:28 > 0:20:30and even before that - used the camera obscura
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- when they were doing their paintings.- Absolutely.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36They used them essentially for perspective
0:20:36 > 0:20:40but there is some evidence now that points to cave paintings,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43for example, in south-western France, and they believe
0:20:43 > 0:20:49that the cave people used the same sort of principle because a lot of the images are upside down.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Light coming in through the rock,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54and they saw what was going on outside and painted what they could
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- see from there, so it might even go back as far as 30,000 years. - Wow, that's amazing!
0:20:58 > 0:21:04While Kate's been learning obscura facts, James has been window shopping.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08He's looking in the window of a shop trading mainly in old toys.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12I'm not getting the general household sale vibe here at all, but hang on...
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Unlike Kate's lamps, this is not a repro.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Most likely French alabaster from the 1920s.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Alabaster comes in a variety of colours and is softer
0:21:23 > 0:21:26and easier to carve than marble.
0:21:26 > 0:21:32These cockatoos are a touch grimy and owner David has £100 on the ticket price.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I think, in perfect order, it's £70.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44James must be thinking it's worth a punt as he's doing the usual
0:21:44 > 0:21:47and pointing out the flaws to bring the price down.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49That's there as well.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53That doesn't worry me too much, that little bit at the back,
0:21:53 > 0:21:57but there's a big chunk out of the front as well. Hmmm.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05No... It's sort of 30 quid, damaged.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Is that any good to you?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I'd let it go for 50.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I could do 35...
0:22:15 > 0:22:16If that was any good to you.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Hmmm...
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- OK.- Deal.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25£35. Thank you very much.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- And...- I'll miss them.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33- Oh, have you had them a long time? - Not that long but, you know...
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Oh, dear. Make it a quick farewell then, James.
0:22:40 > 0:22:46Edinburgh's played host to our experts who have had an excellent rummage with patchy results.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48So time for a kip, I think.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01We've finally got the Scottish weather everybody's been telling us about.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Come rain or shine, though, the antique deals have to be found.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07James is winning the war but Kate won yesterday's show
0:23:07 > 0:23:12and she's keen to find that big buy to beat James on this leg as well.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Their next auction will be in Hamilton and today our pair
0:23:16 > 0:23:21are heading west from Edinburgh to just outside the village of Killearn.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Yesterday, Kate used her charms to buy a 1940s umbrella
0:23:26 > 0:23:29and a pair of table lamps of indeterminate age.
0:23:29 > 0:23:35She spent £37 in total, leaving her with £460.55 today.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38James bought four items in the end -
0:23:38 > 0:23:45the Champagne bucket, the cast iron door knocker, an art deco bulb bowl and the alabaster cockatoo lamp.
0:23:45 > 0:23:52He spent a canny £70 and has £936.95 still to play with if he wants.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55But it seems he doesn't.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Fantastic. I've been looking forward to this.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Have a lovely time. - I feel like a naughty boy.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04You are a naughty boy. Tomorrow is the last leg of their road trip
0:24:04 > 0:24:07and James clearly wants to hang on to his massive lead.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Talk about competitive. But a man's got to do what a man's got to do.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14And this man wants to visit a distillery.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19They've been making whisky at Glengoyne for nearly 200 years but not always legally.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23In the early 19th century the Government taxed spirit production
0:24:23 > 0:24:30heavily to fund the war against France, so lots of whisky makers operated under the radar.
0:24:30 > 0:24:36A law change in the 1820s reduced the tax and the cost of a licence,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39so Glengoyne went legal in 1833.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Arthur is James's guide today.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47- Goodness me.- This is our still house, James, and this is where
0:24:47 > 0:24:51we do the whole production process within this building.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56They produce around three million bottles of whisky here a year.
0:24:56 > 0:25:02And along with some barley and yeast, it takes 100 litres of water to make the one bottle.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Just as well there's a waterfall on the premises.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11The name "whisky" actually comes from the Gaelic "uisge beatha", meaning "water of life".
0:25:11 > 0:25:16Uisge beatha got shortened to "uisge", which then became whisky in English,
0:25:16 > 0:25:17if you see what I mean.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Is this a Highland malt here?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Yes, yes, by our finger tips.
0:25:21 > 0:25:28We've got five whisky regions - Speyside, Islay, Campbeltown, the Highlands and the Lowlands.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33The border between the Highlands and the Lowlands is the road that you crossed to get in here today.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Oh, OK, so you're just Highlands. - Yes.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39So we distil here in the Highlands and then we send it underneath the road and into the Lowlands.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44- To store it.- To store it. And they lie in the Lowlands in our warehouses to mature.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49At Glengoyne, all whisky is aged for at least ten years,
0:25:49 > 0:25:53but for any whisky to earn the label "Scotch whisky",
0:25:53 > 0:25:57it has to be aged for a minimum of three years and one day.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Gosh, you almost feel high on those fumes. Wow!
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Single malts are the creme de la creme of whiskies
0:26:04 > 0:26:09but distilleries also make the cheaper, blended variety.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Right, James.- Oh, wow, this looks like a laboratory.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14This is the Glengoyne sample room.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Purists might look on them with disdain, but around 90%
0:26:18 > 0:26:22of whisky produced in Scotland is blended, so someone must like it!
0:26:22 > 0:26:25James is going to try his hand at this subtle art.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28And if you nose that...
0:26:28 > 0:26:30OK, let the fun begin.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33You need to start your blend with a base of grain whiskey.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36It's produced far more quickly and cheaply than a malt.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Then you add malts to build up the flavour.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Nose it.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Different again.- Yes.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51The trick is in choosing ones which complement each other
0:26:51 > 0:26:52rather than compete.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57You see how the flavour's beginning to develop?
0:26:57 > 0:27:01A good quality blend will have 25 to 30 different malts in it
0:27:01 > 0:27:03but we don't have all day.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- Well done.- Fantastic.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11You have to think of a name. This is the difficult part, James.
0:27:11 > 0:27:17In admiration of my worthy travel companion,
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- Glen Bliss.- Oh, lovely. Yes.
0:27:21 > 0:27:27Well, that will be a nice surprise for Kate when she finally finishes her antique search.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Kate's still in buying mode
0:27:29 > 0:27:34and she's headed a couple of miles along the road to Croftamie.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37It's not like the crammed, rummagey shops of yesterday,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40which should make things easier to spot.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I do really like your lamp.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Yes, it's nice. It's a Victorian one - there's nothing wrong with that.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50It's a nice lamp.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55The Victorian brass oil lamp is extendable and has a cast base.
0:27:55 > 0:28:01Ten years ago it might have been worth £400-£500, but the popularity of Victoriana
0:28:01 > 0:28:05has plummeted and dealer Bruce has a price of £100 on it.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10OK, OK. I might come back to that. Let's have another little look.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12You've got some Poole.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Well, this is Poole pottery,
0:28:18 > 0:28:22which used to sell really well. The market's gone down a bit.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27The Poole posy vase and sugar bowl are from what some people think of
0:28:27 > 0:28:30as Poole's bland period - the '40s, '50s and '60s.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35The most sought-after Poole pieces are from the '20s and '30s,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38and then from the '70s, like this piece.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Would you sell the three bits all together?
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Yeah, yeah, I'll do that for you. That's not a problem.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48The ticket price on all three is only £15,
0:28:48 > 0:28:51but Kate is keen on the lamp, too, it seems.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56So, if I took the three pieces of Poole as one lot
0:28:56 > 0:28:59and the lamp, what sort of price are we talking about, Bruce?
0:28:59 > 0:29:02I'll do the whole lot for £90.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- OK, for the two...? - For the four pieces, yeah.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10Will it be silence, sob story, which?
0:29:10 > 0:29:12I think done. Lovely.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15That's definitely the quickest deal Kate's done all week.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18She must be in a hurry to catch up with James.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23It's that time again when each experts' buys have to be scrutinised by each other.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Well, in the spirit of things, why don't we just continue on the drinking theme?
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- There we go.- Oh, my goodness.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39One reproduction, silver-plated, junkie ice bucket.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- So how much?- With that.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- Well, it depends what people's tastes are.- Fabulous, isn't it?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Well, I paid a fiver.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- Oh, my goodness!- Well, it's cheap. - You can't go wrong.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55There we go, that's the first thing. How about yours?
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Dah, dah!
0:29:58 > 0:30:02I'm just going to break all the rules here. I'm just going to do this.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Oh, it's not the same!
0:30:08 > 0:30:09Don't tell me it's the same.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Well, it's pretty... - Similar sort of thing.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Two alabaster table lamps.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17No, actually...
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Three alabaster table lamps. You've got another one.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22I love the budgerigars.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- I think cockatoos. - Or canaries or whatever.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Canaries! Oh, dear.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29You have those and I'm going to have a look at this.
0:30:29 > 0:30:30That's nice, isn't it?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32But it's not very old, is it?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35I think it's 1920s, Art Deco.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37That's nice, James.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- Don't tell me you paid a fiver for that.- No, £35 I paid for that.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43£35. It's fun. I like it.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- OK, these.- Yes.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46They're brand new, aren't they?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- Yeah.- What did you pay?- 25.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50- Brilliant.- Do you think?
0:30:50 > 0:30:51Yeah, I do.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Kate's 1940s umbrella is next.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56That really lifts it, doesn't it?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58The gold? Hmmm. Just makes it really classy.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02£20-£30 of scrap gold there, isn't there?
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Absolutely. 18 carat, especially with gold prices the way they are.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I paid 12.
0:31:07 > 0:31:0912 quid?
0:31:09 > 0:31:10£12?!
0:31:10 > 0:31:13That's monstrous.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17That has got to make at least £30-£40 profit. It has to.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Your turn.- This next one is from the same shop...
0:31:20 > 0:31:24James's Art Deco vase is actually something Kate looked at herself.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26There it is. You've seen it, you picked it up...
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- You know why I put it back.- Why? - It's got a big crack.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Ah... That's why it rings so nicely.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37I checked! You are mean.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39You're learning from me.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42I am, I am! It's too long on the road with you.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45It's got something about it, I thought.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- It was a tenner. - That's pretty good, isn't it?
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Kate also took a punt on some ceramics.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Hers is an assortment of Poole pottery.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56OK. That is so 1970s, isn't it?
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- That is such a great shape. What did you pay?- Ten.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03It's got to be worth that. There's got to be a profit there.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Right, your go.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- Right.- A door knocker. How much?
0:32:08 > 0:32:1120. What do you think...?
0:32:11 > 0:32:13I think it's got potential, yeah.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18That's four items for James. Time for Kate's last buy.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Well, you know my thing about lamp bases and candelabras?
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Well, why not get a standard lamp?
0:32:25 > 0:32:27I like it...
0:32:28 > 0:32:30But what does James think it might make at auction?
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- 50 to 80?- Oh! I hope a bit more.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- 60 to 100.- Well, I paid 80.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Did you?
0:32:39 > 0:32:43£80 is a gamble. It's spending quite a lot on one piece again,
0:32:43 > 0:32:46and I said that I wouldn't do it again.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50But it worked last time. It depends on the auction, doesn't it?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53It needs a couple of private buyers to fight over it.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Your gut feeling was 50 to 80. This is worrying.- Hmm.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Don't know.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02Oh, Kate! Maybe James's special whisky blend will cheer you up.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04There you go, you can unwrap that one.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06See what you think.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10And turn it over.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Look what it's called.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Glen Bliss.- Yeah.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Most girls have a rose named after them - you've got a malt whisky.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Fantastic.- That was what I was blending this morning.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26Do you know, I looked at it, turned it over and it said "sample",
0:33:26 > 0:33:27and I nearly put it down.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29THEY LAUGH
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Enough hilarity These two are always so nice to each other.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Let's find out what they really think of each other's lots.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40The first thing I think I'm really surprised about
0:33:40 > 0:33:44is that James had £1,000 in his pocket and he spent less than £100.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Some things he's got have been a real steal,
0:33:47 > 0:33:50so I think potentially he could make a lot of profit there.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55As for my things, well... I'm pleased with some and not so pleased with others.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58After those candelabra did so well, she's got a pair of table lamps
0:33:58 > 0:34:03and a standard lamp and she's done exactly what I did at the beginning of the week
0:34:03 > 0:34:09when my tribal art spear did so well but then I bought more tribal art and it made a loss.
0:34:09 > 0:34:16But I have to say I can't see the table lamps making a loss, but the standard lamp...
0:34:16 > 0:34:17I just don't... She's been brave.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20I don't know if it's the right sale for it.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27For the all-important auction, our pair have Beetled
0:34:27 > 0:34:30slightly southeast from Killearn to Hamilton.
0:34:32 > 0:34:38You'll find Hamilton close to a point where a Scottish River Avon meets the mighty Clyde.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41The town has some fine looking buildings, but one thing
0:34:41 > 0:34:45that can be seen for miles in every direction is the Hamilton Mausoleum.
0:34:45 > 0:34:51It might look like a giant pepper pot but apparently it has the longest echo of any building in the world.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Here we go, in there.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Will Kate hear the echo of success here at auction?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Well done.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Auction mart. It's quite a nice old building, isn't it?
0:35:04 > 0:35:09- You see, you never know what these places are going to be like. - Well, fingers crossed.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13I'm really hoping I can catch you up a bit more, James.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17- You did all right last time. - It's just... It's luck, isn't it? - It is to a degree.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Auction Mart LS Smellie & Sons
0:35:19 > 0:35:23does hold regular specialist sales every three months,
0:35:23 > 0:35:29but today it's a general household sale with only a small antique and collectibles section.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32It could be touch and go profit-wise, so what are auctioneer
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Andrew Smellie's thoughts on Kate and James's items?
0:35:36 > 0:35:38A bit of a mixed bag, I would say.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42From some of the lots there. The brass lamp's quite nice.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Oh, do you think? - Yeah, seems quite nice and...
0:35:45 > 0:35:47And what isn't?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49The ice bucket, to be honest. It's seen better days.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51What's wrong with that? Don't you laugh!
0:35:51 > 0:35:57Even if his champagne number falls flat, James is hardly going to lose big today. He didn't spend big.
0:35:57 > 0:36:05He began this leg with £1006.95 and bought four items for only £70.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Kate was slightly more cavalier with her cash.
0:36:08 > 0:36:15She started with £497.55 and has also bought four items but paid out £127.
0:36:15 > 0:36:21James's lead may seem large but there's every chance Kate can repeat
0:36:21 > 0:36:25her Edinburgh auction success and win this round as well.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28How will her production line alabaster lamps perform?
0:36:28 > 0:36:33Nice ones there. 50 for these? 30? 20 for a start, surely?
0:36:33 > 0:36:3615 I'm bid.
0:36:36 > 0:36:4015, at 16, 18, 20,
0:36:40 > 0:36:4422, 24, 26...
0:36:44 > 0:36:5028, 30. On the rail at 30, I'm at £30.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53I'm at £30. All finished? £30.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01- Aww. £30. That's a tiny, tiny profit, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Not a great return but they were a risk.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08Will her vintage umbrella find the right buyer?
0:37:08 > 0:37:11And, it clearly is a family business when it comes to portering
0:37:11 > 0:37:16and displaying the items here at Smellie & Sons...and daughters.
0:37:16 > 0:37:2150 for this, 40, 30 for a start,
0:37:21 > 0:37:2320 I'm bid at the back.
0:37:23 > 0:37:2520 I'm bid, £20, I'm at 20. I'm at 22,
0:37:25 > 0:37:2824, 26, 28...
0:37:28 > 0:37:3230, 32, 34,
0:37:32 > 0:37:3436, 38, 38.
0:37:34 > 0:37:3638. I'm bid 40.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41- Well done.- Out on the right, 40 I'm bid, 40, I'm at £40.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42I'm at £40.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46That's better. The buyers here clearly have taste.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50What's that going to mean for James's glitzy Champagne bucket
0:37:50 > 0:37:51he got for a fiver?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53One ice bucket there, £40.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Come on.- He's showing it with the dent side, look.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58He's showing it on the wrong side.
0:37:58 > 0:38:0220 on the right, 20 I'm bid, 20 I'm bid for the ice bucket,
0:38:02 > 0:38:0622, 24, 26,
0:38:06 > 0:38:0928, 28 I'm bid, 28,
0:38:09 > 0:38:11£28, and we're all finished here?
0:38:11 > 0:38:13£28.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Chin-chin to that!
0:38:16 > 0:38:1828, you weren't far off.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- His more substantial door knocker is next.- I love this.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25I think it's got real potential.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29And with that brass plaque at the top, it's such a classy thing.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Door knocker there, collectible lot.
0:38:32 > 0:38:3540 for this? 30?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Interest here. Start the bidding at £20. 20, I'm bid.
0:38:38 > 0:38:4020 I'm bid, 20 I'm bid...
0:38:40 > 0:38:4422, 24, 26...
0:38:44 > 0:38:4628, 30...
0:38:46 > 0:38:4932, I'm at £32.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52All finished? £32.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57It's not a loss but not as much as James would have liked.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02The three pieces of the Poole-ware.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Three pieces there,
0:39:04 > 0:39:06collectible pieces.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09£40? 30 or 20 for these?
0:39:09 > 0:39:1110 for a start?
0:39:11 > 0:39:1310, 12, 14...
0:39:13 > 0:39:1516, 18, 20...
0:39:15 > 0:39:1822, 24, 26...
0:39:18 > 0:39:2026, I'm bid 28...
0:39:20 > 0:39:2730? 30 in front, £30. I'm at 30, 32, new bidder, 32.
0:39:27 > 0:39:3132. On my right. All finished?
0:39:31 > 0:39:3434, 36, 38...
0:39:34 > 0:39:3740, 42, 44...
0:39:37 > 0:39:4146, 48, 50...
0:39:41 > 0:39:4550, I'm bid. Front have it, all finished? £50.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Kate's ceramics did the deed nicely.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Can the bulb bowl deliver as much for James?
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Art Deco Myatt & Son globe vase.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Good clean lot there.
0:39:57 > 0:40:0040 for this? 30? 20 then?
0:40:00 > 0:40:0220 I'm bid,
0:40:02 > 0:40:04£20, I'm at 20, I'm at 20, I'm at 20...
0:40:04 > 0:40:0722, 24, 26,
0:40:07 > 0:40:1128, 28 I'm bid, £28...
0:40:11 > 0:40:1430, 30 I'm bid. Left have it.
0:40:14 > 0:40:1830 I'm bid. All finished? £30.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21A round £20 profit before commission for James.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26Let's see how Kate's risky brass standard lamp does.
0:40:29 > 0:40:34Lot 405 now - the Victorian brass telescopic standard lamp.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35Nice one there.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40200 for this? 150? 100 for a start, surely?
0:40:40 > 0:40:43100 I'm bid.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45100 at the back, 100 I'm bid.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46100, 110...
0:40:46 > 0:40:48120, 130...
0:40:48 > 0:40:51140, 140 bid at the back...
0:40:51 > 0:40:58140 I'm bid. 140, 140, 140... All done? 140.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Hello, Hamilton!
0:41:03 > 0:41:06It's a good return, and with all her lots sold,
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Kate's well in the lead with £133 profit today.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12James has one more item to go - the cockatoo lamp.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16He does have form with unexpected flyers,
0:41:16 > 0:41:21but to beat Kate today, the lamp will need to make him over £110.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22150 for this?
0:41:24 > 0:41:27100 for it? 80 for a start, surely?
0:41:27 > 0:41:2880 I'm bid on my right.
0:41:28 > 0:41:3185, 90...
0:41:31 > 0:41:32I'm at five...
0:41:32 > 0:41:35100...
0:41:35 > 0:41:36100, I'm at five.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39110, on my right.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40110, 110...
0:41:40 > 0:41:44115, 120 I'm bid...
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Finished? 120 I'm bid.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48All done? 120.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49- Yes!- Well done.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53It was neck and neck for the winner's sash on this round,
0:41:53 > 0:41:57but in the end, James edged out ahead by less than a tenner.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Kate's consolation prize is her own malt blend.
0:42:00 > 0:42:07James started today's trip with £1006.95 and after commission
0:42:07 > 0:42:14he made a profit of £102.99, which means he's got a total of £1109.94
0:42:14 > 0:42:18to spend on the last leg tomorrow.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Kate's starting total of £497.55
0:42:22 > 0:42:29increases by £87.18, giving her £584.73 to spend.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Nothing to be ashamed of there, oh, no!
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Hey, you know, it's a good end result for both of us.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40I'm really pleased about the standard lamp because that was a major gamble and it paid off.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43But, on the other hand, I'm disappointed about
0:42:43 > 0:42:49my table lamps because I really thought they might do £40-£60 and they are what's cost me.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- I don't know about you but I'm absolutely drained.- Me too!
0:42:53 > 0:42:56It's all that nervous tension. And well done, you.
0:42:56 > 0:42:57I mean, that's fantastic.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01You're flying, well over £1,000 profit. 1,100 now, it must be.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- Yeah, but you're getting a bit closer - 600.- Maybe.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07I'm not closing the gap.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09The gap's certainly not grown.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Kate's still got every chance of closing that gap.
0:43:11 > 0:43:15There's everything to play for on the final leg of the trip.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Tomorrow, James finally spends big...
0:43:20 > 0:43:22180, 190, 192.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Am I mad?
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Will it pay off?
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Or does Kate win the last round?
