0:00:02 > 0:00:04The nations favourite antiques experts, £200 each
0:00:04 > 0:00:08- and one big challenge. - Testing, testing.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?
0:00:11 > 0:00:1335, cash.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16The aim is trade up and hope each antique turns a profit,
0:00:16 > 0:00:20but its not as easy as it sounds and there can only be one winner.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22- Could you sell me two for a tenner? - Two for a tenner?
0:00:22 > 0:00:27So will it be the highway to success or the B-road to bankruptcy?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29I'm on my knees already.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43All this week we've been out on the road with a pair of old pals.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Antiques experts Philip Serrell and dear David Barby.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53- I cannot believe we're doing 60 in this car.- Take it steady old love.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Don't keep touching me!
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Philip Serrell is a successful auctioneer and former geography teacher.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04He's found his way round the antiques world easily enough,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07yet still struggles to find his way around...town.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09I'm going to head north up to east street,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12then go west across to east street and then south street...
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Actually this is the wrong way
0:01:15 > 0:01:20The trusted antiques valuer and the legend that is David Barby.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24He knows how to sniff out great deals.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30And he'll take anything he can from unsuspecting antiques dealers.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35Can I check my fingers when you're finished just in case you stole one as well!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Philip and David started the week with £200 each
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and it's all been getting a bit heavy for them.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Oh! What a weight!
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Lord above!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Anyone for a fiver?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Philip's been using a tough and often painful buying strategy.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- I can feel one of my headaches coming on.- Yeah, they're catching aren't they?
0:01:57 > 0:02:02So with some shrewd manoeuvres, Philip has home-grown his £200
0:02:02 > 0:02:08into a flowering £322.23 to begin his last show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17David's been playing a risky game this week and it's really worked quite well for him.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Anybody else at £125? And done then.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28From his flimsy £200, David has fully inflated
0:02:28 > 0:02:36to a big, bouncy £468.80 for his last shopping spree.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Isn't he a lovely man?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44It's their last voyage together and they're still getting on famously.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Sort of!- Go a little bit slower Philip we're doing...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Do shut up Barby.- ..20 miles an hour. - Do shut up.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56Philip and David have thoroughly enjoyed their Middle England odyssey so far,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59from Lincoln to final auction in Gloucester.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06On today's show, the boys are leaving St Ives in Cambridgeshire.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10First pin in the map is the village of Ampthill in Bedfordshire.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16Here we are, Ampthill. Georgian market town. That sounds good doesn't it?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20They must have known we're coming Barby they've got the bunting out
0:03:20 > 0:03:27Gorgeous Ampthill began nearly 1,000 years ago as Anglo-Saxon settlement of Aemethyll,
0:03:27 > 0:03:31meaning, literally, ant-infested hill. Charming!
0:03:31 > 0:03:37Its famous today for the Alameda, a handsome avenue of lime trees
0:03:37 > 0:03:40planted in the 1820s to imitate Portuguese boulevards.
0:03:42 > 0:03:48The first antiques port of the day is this exciting, three-floored Emporium.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Libby is here to welcome our two intrepid treasure hunters.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Morning chaps. Nice to see you. - David Barby.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I'll go upstairs because he wants to remain on the ground floor.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00He's got poorly legs. Right, thank you.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07This is the David Barby of the antique world.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- An old fossil.- Charming(!)
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Actually, despite his earlier sprint, our David is looking...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Oh, I don't know, a bit peaky.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I've got this dreadful cold it's suddenly come about me.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28They say I sound like Barry White but I'm not certain
0:04:28 > 0:04:32who Barry White is - probably some 50s pop star or something like that.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Anyway, they say it sounds sexy. Just one of those things.
0:04:36 > 0:04:42MUSIC: "I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More" by Barry White
0:04:48 > 0:04:54A Greenwheat, an iconic design of the 1950s.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56In fact we used it at home until fairly recently.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59The best pieces should be signed.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Glyn Colledge.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Denby Greenwheat was created
0:05:04 > 0:05:09by Denby's stalwart designer Glyn Colledge in 1956.
0:05:09 > 0:05:15Glyn studied under the legendary design tutor Gordon Forsyth at the Burslem School of Art,
0:05:15 > 0:05:20the same man who moulded Stoke on Trent's finest,
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Susie Cooper, Clarice Cliff and Charlotte Rhead.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Three, four, five...
0:05:27 > 0:05:31So basically you can say you've got a breakfast set there. £95 the lot.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33That's a possibility.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38They're a fairly good prospect and poorly David's still playing the game.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39But what of Philip?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44If you're going to buy a set of dominoes
0:05:44 > 0:05:49you need to know that you've got the complete set. Here goes.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Dominoes derive from an ancient Chinese game
0:05:52 > 0:05:56and swept through Europe in the 18th century.
0:05:56 > 0:06:03These English 19th century sets were often used to settle disputes over grazing boundaries.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08Could they be used to settle a week-old, Serrell-Barby dispute?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Hey Barbs, how you doing?- That's about the cheapest thing I've seen.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Go look in the mirror.- He's so unkind, isn't he? Really!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- I shall leave you to play games. - There. Look at that.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20They're all there. That's brilliant, isn't it?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I've got to put them all back now.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26These were £8, what's the best on these then?
0:06:26 > 0:06:31- I think the dealer said three.- Two - Three.- There's a terrible echo in this place, isn't there?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Two?- No, I can't do it because the dealer is in the building
0:06:34 > 0:06:38at the moment and he said he'd be prepared to take three for them.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Go on.- OK, then, that's fine.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Three whole pounds. Wow(!)
0:06:44 > 0:06:47And will David be joining the last of the big spenders?
0:06:47 > 0:06:51I'm going to sit in the car and sulk and wait for our Phil.
0:06:51 > 0:06:57Poor old David! Let's hope Philip can keep the antiques turning over.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00It's a butter churn so your cream would go into here
0:07:00 > 0:07:03and that would keep turning the cream to turn it into butter.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10These nineteenth century butter churns are literally a barrel of fun.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Especially if you like to make your own butter.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Hand churning separates the fat from the cream
0:07:17 > 0:07:19and squeezes out the liquid
0:07:19 > 0:07:24leaving the lovely, globulous, buttery lump ready for patting.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27See the thing is, Libby, that's coming off there, look.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30But if it was in use that would stretch back out.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Do you know, you've got a good sales pitch but see if you can do that for £30 for me.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- I'll go and get him on the phone. - Is he a nice lad?- He's lovely.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- How old is he?- 73.- 73!?
0:07:41 > 0:07:46That's lucky, Philip, you're used to giving the infirm a hard time!
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Right, now, Alex I've got £30 I'm doing this programme
0:07:49 > 0:07:52with David Barby and he's light years ahead of me and I need all the help
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I can get. You will probably go to heaven on this sale.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58You're an absolute star. Thank you.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01So that's £30 for Alex's butter churn
0:08:01 > 0:08:05and £3 for me dominoes, weren't they?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07£33 all together, sir.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Do I get it gift wrapped? - I'm going to try for you.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11You're an angel. Thank you so much.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Oh, Libby! He said gift-wrapped, not bubble-wrapped.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19David Barby will see right through that
0:08:19 > 0:08:22with one of his extra-hard stares.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28- Barby you're relaxed. - I've been waiting for you. - Don't you look at these.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- That looks really interesting. I love your backward movement. - Don't you look at these.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Oh, is that my comb?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Oh, for Heaven's sake! Let's just go, shall we?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Back on the road, Philip and David are heading
0:08:41 > 0:08:4632 miles west from Ampthill to the ancient town of Brackley.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50DAVID BLOWS HIS NOSE That really is a dreadful noise.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Do you have to keep doing that? - I'm only blowing my nose.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Do you know, I'm not sure you're going to make the rest of this trip.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02Now, Philip, play fair today and remember poor Barby's not feeling well.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Anyway may the best man...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I'm not going to catch anything off there am I?
0:09:08 > 0:09:14Brackley has tried to hide its best-kept antiques secret under a supermarket.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18But our cunning boys still managed to find it.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Good luck, old mate.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Jim, how are you? - Hello, Philip, pleased to meet you.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- You've got some interesting things here.- He certainly has.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30How about this funny little thing for £28?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32This is called a go-to-bed
0:09:32 > 0:09:36and it's missing, on the bottom, there should be a bit of sand paper.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41And so you fill this, full of matches and you take your match out,
0:09:41 > 0:09:47strike it on there and you put the match in that little turret there and then you go to bed.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51I've got to be really mean on this. What would buy it?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- I'll be honest I think the best we could do on that would be 15.- 15?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- It would.- How about 12?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- OK, £12.- You're a star. Thank you so much.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Let's have a look at this.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06That's some sort of a perfume bottle isn't it?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09That is a really good thing.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Now, Philip found a hobnail cut glass scent bottle for £120.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- What's that one?- That's £90.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22It's in good order. There's a little bit of a nibble just there,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24which might get it done to 85.
0:10:24 > 0:10:2785 done deal, home and host. wrap it, I'll take it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- You're an absolute gentleman. Thank you so much.- Indeed!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Now, where's that other absolute gentleman got to?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41This is the situation which I call panic.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I'm just looking at anything to try and find a bargain.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Oh, dear, someone's got themselves into a bit of a flap!
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Excuse me, could I have the key to cabinet 29?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Vesta holder, you put your matches in there
0:10:56 > 0:10:59and you strike them on here,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- and then you light your pipe - Very nice.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- Anything else? - I want that one out, please.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Well, this is a silver bottle, toilet water bottle, coaster
0:11:10 > 0:11:14and it would have been full of rose water or lavender
0:11:14 > 0:11:19and you'd sprinkle it on clothes. That is a possibility, I think.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Anything else?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Now this belongs to me. Someone said it could be Charter House because it's got..
0:11:25 > 0:11:28This is a college one, yes,
0:11:28 > 0:11:35Tygs are large English pottery mugs, with several handles for passing around for communal drinking.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Royal Doulton made these commissioned varieties
0:11:39 > 0:11:43for colleges and Masonic lodges at the turn of the 20th century.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- This one I really like actually. - Another interesting prospect.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Anything else?- I like that.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55Letter scale. Well, this is what, in the late Victorian period,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58you would have assessed how much postage you would pay, so you have
0:11:58 > 0:12:02a little scale and you have all the weights there.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05This is a nice one because it has a cast metal base.
0:12:05 > 0:12:11Well, a little panicking has dredged up a few potentials for Mr Barby.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Right. Gosh, did I choose all these? - You did indeed.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- What good taste I've got! - And SO modest!- Right the weight...
0:12:18 > 0:12:23I'm going to stick my neck out and say £60 on those.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28I think I'm going to say yes, to these. What about this unusual...?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30The best on that is 28.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32And that's the very best at 28.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36If you're pushing me, £20.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39OK, I'll have that one. This little piece I like,
0:12:39 > 0:12:43what's the very best you can do on this one, Debbie?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Um, £45.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Is that the very, very best you can do?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50How about 40?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52That is the bottom line, £40, I'm afraid.
0:12:52 > 0:12:58Poor Debbie, lucky David didn't ask for her very, very, very best!
0:12:58 > 0:13:04Right, I love this tyg and often you had soap dishes with coal tar soap in the bottom...
0:13:04 > 0:13:10ELECTRIC GUITAR MOBILE RINGTONE PLAYS
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Er, David, you appear to be rocking!
0:13:14 > 0:13:16That's a bit trendy, isn't it?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Sorry about that, that was my Seattle fan club.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Ah yes, how is Auntie Barbara?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Or, rather, where were we?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- And what's the best you can do on that?- 25.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Is that the very best?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Very, very, very best.- Ooh!
0:13:33 > 0:13:34£20.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Proof of the pudding's in the eating.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Thank you very much. - You're welcome.
0:13:41 > 0:13:49Well, the Gods of Rock have helped David to buy four really, really great items there.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54And he only had to pay the very, very, very best prices. Gawd!
0:13:56 > 0:14:01- Can you just hold that for me? - You...
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- What did you just do? - Best place for it, come on.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08You're an absolute...
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Don't say it!
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Finally we're out of here.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24Fancying a break and some choice surroundings,
0:14:24 > 0:14:29Philip's heading 13 miles due west from Brackley, to gorgeous Broughton.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34What a wonderful place this is.
0:14:36 > 0:14:42First built as a manor house by artisans working for John de Broughton in 1300,
0:14:42 > 0:14:47the property was fortified in 1406 to form battle-ready walls,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51turning an Englishman's home into a castle.
0:14:51 > 0:14:57Broughton Castle is now home to Lord Saye and his family, the famous Fiennes.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Sir, good morning - Good morning to you.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- Philip Serrell.- How do you do? Good to meet you.- You've got a fabulous spot here haven't you?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- We think it's pretty good, yes, we do.- Can I ask you a question, Sir?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10When does a house become a castle?
0:15:10 > 0:15:15This is called a castle, I often think it's a misnomer. It's really a manor house, if you like,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18but it's got a moat and its got some battlements and the big gate house.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- Can we have a look inside? - Come on in.- Thank you so much.
0:15:22 > 0:15:29From 1451 the house passed to its current hereditary line, the Fiennes family -
0:15:29 > 0:15:35as in explorer Sir Ranulph and actors Ralph and Joseph Fiennes.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41In fact, Broughton Castle appeared in Joseph's film Shakespeare In Love,
0:15:41 > 0:15:46as well as other triumphs of entertainment - The Madness Of King George
0:15:46 > 0:15:50and even Noel's House Party.
0:15:50 > 0:15:56- Wow, what a ceiling!- Yes, this is the great hall of the original house.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01It would have been of these proportions but of course in the 1300s they would have had
0:16:01 > 0:16:07no glass, probably wooden shutters an earth floor and a timber ceiling.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09So this stonework is all of different ages?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Yes, I think the last building work, if you like to call it that, was this...
0:16:13 > 0:16:18A film company covered up some ugly pipes and we thought it looked better than the ugly pipes.
0:16:18 > 0:16:25I don't think many of our visiting public would notice that as being plywood and not stone.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30Frederick Fiennes, the 16th Lord Saye, rescued this house from decay,
0:16:30 > 0:16:35employing the prominent Victorian architect Sir George Gilbert Scott,
0:16:35 > 0:16:41the man responsible for the much-loved gothic St Pancras station in London.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46The family have continued to restore and furnish this house with great beauty ever since.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51This is our library room here as you can see.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Ah! What first takes the eye is these marvellous book cases.
0:16:55 > 0:17:02Well, again those are pyramid book cases dated about 1760 and they're very unusual aren't they?
0:17:02 > 0:17:10They are absolutely glorious. They're wonderful and incredibly rare.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14There was a book shop in Oxford which was demolished about 1946
0:17:14 > 0:17:17and my mother had always admired these in the book shop
0:17:17 > 0:17:22and she went in and the bulldozers were operating and she bought the pair for shall we say £10
0:17:22 > 0:17:28from in front of the bulldozer's nose and I think they're worth more than £10 now.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I hope they'll never leave here is all I can say.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35I can give you 20 for them, cos I think, this would get me out of trouble, actually!
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Nice try, Philip.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41This fine pair at auction might just help you beat Barby.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Right, isn't this wonderful panelling?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51It's fantastic when you touch something like that which is 500-years-old
0:17:51 > 0:17:59and you know this has not been done by computer, it's been done by some chap with a wooden mallet.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Very primitive tools, yes.
0:18:00 > 0:18:06And the symmetry there is absolutely perfect, isn't it? It is perfect.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10The interiors of Broughton Castle mix the very old with the modern
0:18:10 > 0:18:15and even the brand spanking new, to great decorative effect.
0:18:16 > 0:18:23- That is clearly, I don't know, 20 or 30 years old.- It was done by a man called Alan Peters.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27He designed that table for that position and I hope it will sit there
0:18:27 > 0:18:30for a few more hundred years because I think it's just right for that.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35It looks absolutely fabulous and houses like this shouldn't just live in the past.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40You've got to move on and that is, if you like, your mark for generations to come.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Can I just say to you, Sir, that it's been a huge honour to look around your home
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- but it's also been a massive privilege to meet you.- I've enjoyed it very much. Thank you for coming.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- Thank you very much.- What a treat! Phillip you are a very lucky man.
0:18:55 > 0:19:01As the rain lashes down, it's time for our experts to find their own fortified shelter for the night.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06Tomorrow is their last blast at the shops.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Dawn breaks but their nerves hold true
0:19:16 > 0:19:19as Philip and David prepare for the final push forward.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- Where are we, Barby?- Well, I think we should go left, actually.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Well, I think we should go right. - Go left.- Are you sure?
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Yeah, my judgement's always sound.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36So far, Philip has spent £130 on four items - the dominoes,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40the butter churn, the go-to-bed and the rather expensive scent bottle.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45He's got £192.23 left to lose.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I mean spend!
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- We are lost, aren't we?- No, there's a main road just coming up.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- No, we're definitely lost.- Just go straight on.- So which way do we go?
0:19:55 > 0:20:01David Barby, meanwhile, has spent £140, also on four items -
0:20:01 > 0:20:04the postal scales, the elaborate Vesta,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08the Doulton tyg and the toilet water bottle.
0:20:08 > 0:20:14David has £328.80 left to show us who's boss.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Let shopping commence!
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- What's going to happen next? - Two hands on the wheel please.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24You're going to go into a shop and do this, "Is that your very, very best?"
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Now then, girls!
0:20:27 > 0:20:30The Road Trip is moving us on once more,
0:20:30 > 0:20:37leaving Broughton in the dust and burning 30 miles west to the village of Deddington.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Over three jam-packed floors, Deddington's Antiques Centre
0:20:40 > 0:20:44is the scene for our final shopping showdown of the week.
0:20:47 > 0:20:54Front runner, and poor sickly fellow David Barby gets first dibs.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Hello, David Barby. - Hello, pleased to meet you.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- And your name's...?- Jenny. - Hello, Jenny.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05Smooth! David finds his way into the antiques labyrinth,
0:21:05 > 0:21:06but will he find his way out?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Just so much, just so much.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Did I look in here?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Well, it's a nice coffee can and saucer.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Copeland & Garrett, late Spode.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20On the bottom here, Copeland, late Spode.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25The way to check whether it's porcelain or not is by holding it up to the light.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Regular Road Trip viewers will know all about this.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Europe waited 800 years to perfect
0:21:31 > 0:21:36its fragile Chinese ceramic using a fine white-stone paste
0:21:36 > 0:21:40to give true porcelain its translucence over simple pottery.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45If I do the same to the saucer however, there's no light coming through.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50That's quite nice actually but at £48 a bit too much.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53What have you found?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Well, I was after porcelain
0:21:55 > 0:22:01- and I found this Spode coffee can but the saucer is pottery.- Ah!
0:22:01 > 0:22:05And at £48 I think it's a little bit heavy.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07What's the best you could do on that?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Probably 35.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I'd like to see it at 20.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- Hmm.- They're not matching.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17No, I think I couldn't go that low.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21What's the very, very best you can do?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Very best?- 25.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34I'm going to say 22 which is more than I anticipated to pay.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I'm going to stick to the 25.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- 22.- 25.
0:22:40 > 0:22:4322? 25?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Looks like we got ourselves a stand-off here.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Or maybe a stare-out!
0:22:54 > 0:22:55HE SIGHS
0:23:00 > 0:23:0222.50 that's my max.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Right, well I think seeing as you said they're not a matching pair
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I think we can agree on 22.50.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- What have I done? - SHE LAUGHS
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Phew! And breathe.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21David's done it again and the chilling Barby stare
0:23:21 > 0:23:25had only to relent an additional 50p!
0:23:26 > 0:23:29And with David at a century, the field is finally clear
0:23:29 > 0:23:34for second place Serrell to make what he can from the final shopping minutes of the day.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37I've got two alternatives. There's a plan A and a plan B.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42Plan A is that I spend very little money, perhaps £5 or £10,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44and hope the other things I bought might catch David up.
0:23:44 > 0:23:50Or Plan B, is to go out in a blaze of glory.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Sounds exciting, Philip, but maybe just ask for help first!
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Jenny, can I look at this little butter pat.- Sure, yes.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59That's quite sweet, isn't it?
0:23:59 > 0:24:03It's shortbread, not butter. And how much is that?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Well, it says ten - seven?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Four?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Six.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- Five.- Six, I'm not shaking.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I'm not shaking either. SHE LAUGHS
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I've got it and possession is nine tenths of the law. £5.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25- £5.50.- Oh, get out of here! £5. SHE LAUGHS
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- I'll do that for five. - OK, I'll have that for a fiver then
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Well, so much for the Blaze of Glory, Philip.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36But that is a sweet little thing for five whole pounds!
0:24:36 > 0:24:42If Barby wins, I am going to buy a one way ticket to somewhere as far away as possible.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46It doesn't matter if its inhabited or not because he will be on the phone to me every five minutes,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50"Do you remember how that Road Trip went, I've forgotten, did I win?"
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- "Yeah, Barbs, you did."- Cheer up!
0:24:53 > 0:24:56You might still beat David. Might!
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Their final shopping complete, the Road Trip is now heading south,
0:25:03 > 0:25:08travelling 12 miles from Deddington and delivering a very lucky Mr Barby
0:25:08 > 0:25:13into the sumptuous grounds of Blenheim Palace, near Woodstock.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21It's an absolutely incredible building.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25It's like some magical landscape in a painting.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28You don't think it exists until you arrive here.
0:25:30 > 0:25:36Building began in 1705 on land gifted to General John Churchill,
0:25:36 > 0:25:411st Duke of Marlborough, for his battalion's victory at the Battle of Blenheim.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Christopher Columbus!
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Just look at that! Wow!
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Causing huge controversy, untrained architect John Vanbrugh
0:25:58 > 0:26:02designed Blenheim Palace in the short-lived English Baroque style.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08David finally arrives to meet John Forster,
0:26:08 > 0:26:13archivist to the 11th Duke of Marlborough for the past 20 years.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- John, how very nice to meet you. - Hello, David, welcome to Blenheim Palace.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- Let's have a look inside. - Thank you very much.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24We've got some absolutely marvellous pieces to show you.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Oh, my word!- Isn't it amazing?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Isn't it superb?- Yes.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- Very theatrical. - Yes, just the word for it.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38A unique hybrid of family home and national monument,
0:26:38 > 0:26:43Blenheim is famed as the birthplace of the war-time Prime Minister, Winston Churchill.
0:26:43 > 0:26:50The Palace's greatest treasure tells the amazing story of this family home.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57So this is the most magnificent sculpture, is it not?
0:26:57 > 0:27:01What I find so spectacular about this is, first of all,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04it was designed by a sculptor called Cotterell
0:27:04 > 0:27:09and then Robert Garrard was commissioned to make this wonderful edifice.
0:27:11 > 0:27:19This beautiful centre piece was crafted by royal silversmiths Garrard & Co in the 19th century.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24It is massive and weighs over 1600 troy ounces
0:27:24 > 0:27:29or 110 pounds or 50 kilos
0:27:29 > 0:27:36and commemorates the first Duke's victory, over the French army in 1704.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- This symbolises the beginning of Blenheim, does it not?- Yes.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52It shows the Duke on horseback just as he's won the seminal battle of Blenheim,
0:27:52 > 0:27:58writing the actual message to the Queen, via his wife, to say he's won his favoured victory.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02And why it's so important because of where we are and everything around us follows this.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07So here you look at it and visually you can think of that moment of victory, can't you?
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Yes, Winston Churchill said it changed the political axis of the world.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16Louis the 14th in France had dominated Europe for 50 years,
0:28:16 > 0:28:20we hadn't beaten them militarily since Agincourt over 300 years earlier
0:28:20 > 0:28:26and suddenly at the battle of Blenheim 1704, Louis was completely vanquished.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29England became the emergence as a major power
0:28:29 > 0:28:32which produced our dominance as a great power over 200 years.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35It all starts at that moment.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37At that particular moment.
0:28:37 > 0:28:44Many treasures were commissioned whilst the palace was being built during the 1710s and 1720s.
0:28:44 > 0:28:50And throughout the centuries, great artists and designers have added to its glory,
0:28:50 > 0:28:56including Jacob Epstein's stunning bronze bust of the ninth Duke of Marlborough.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59This is the most extraordinary piece of work.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Is it greatly admired by the general public?
0:29:01 > 0:29:06It's certainly greatly responded to. I think they find it a dramatic piece.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11There was a debate between Epstein and His Grace the 9th Duke about how it should be.
0:29:11 > 0:29:17I think Epstein was all for, use a word, humanising him.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23Moving to Britain in 1905, American sculptor Jacob Epstein
0:29:23 > 0:29:29jointly pioneered the practise of direct carving on to stone,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31without copying clay models,
0:29:31 > 0:29:35and was critically lambasted that his work deliberately lacked beauty.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40Epstein retorted that everything is beautiful.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42You can't argue with that!
0:29:42 > 0:29:47I think it's extraordinary how that hand hangs over the plinth and I find that so dramatic.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51I like the sculptural technique. You imagine the clay
0:29:51 > 0:29:55as he presses his fingers in to create this sort of drapery image.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00- Yes.- That is superb.- The people here in their 20s and 30s, literally they've never heard of him,
0:30:00 > 0:30:05- the greatest English sculptor of the first part of the 20th century. - That's perfectly true.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- Well, what a wonderful experience. - I hope you've enjoyed it.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- I have indeed. Thank you very much indeed.- Bye bye.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14David's final indulgence of the week
0:30:14 > 0:30:19also brings this shopping trip to a suitable, stately end.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25Our chaps are now ready for auction departure.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Anything to declare?
0:30:29 > 0:30:30My first lot.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Oh, that's sweet, isn't it?
0:30:31 > 0:30:38Victorian piece it's 1900-1901 so this would have had lavender water, rose water
0:30:38 > 0:30:44- and then you'd sprinkle the lavender water or the rose over your ironing. - How much was that Barbs?- That's £40.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46It's more profit for the old Barby machine!
0:30:46 > 0:30:48I sincerely hope so. Let's have a look at yours.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Oh, that's a little sweetie pops, isn't it?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Around about 1950s/60s, isn't it?
0:30:53 > 0:30:55When kitchenalia was really popular.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Yeah, it cost me a fiver, Barbs.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- That's a real cool thing, isn't it?- I think so.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Vesta case. I love these little bits here.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- So do I. £20.- Well, you're home and host with that, aren't you?
0:31:08 > 0:31:12I bought these from dear old Libby.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14What I like about them is that they've been used
0:31:14 > 0:31:17and they've got sort of cigarette fingers.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- They cost £3. - Well, that's a bargain.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21So I'm pleased with those.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Well, there we are.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Oh, that's nice.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27This is a tyg.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- Doulton. - Was that £20 knowing you?- Yes.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Was it? That's nothing, is it?
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Oh, my life. I thought this was really cool.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38J & A Macfarlane.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43Yes, I think just that little inscription there for me adds 20 quid to it.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Let's hope we've got some people from Glasgow in the room.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- In Gloucestershire. - In Gloucestershire. - I hadn't thought of that.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52That's got DJ Barby written all over it, hasn't it?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Is that a hair crack?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58# There may be trouble ahead... #
0:31:58 > 0:32:00I just wiped it off.
0:32:00 > 0:32:06This is a little go-to-bed. It's absolutely lovely and you'd just light that like that,
0:32:06 > 0:32:10put that on there and then off you go to bed.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- And I can see that making... - £40 or £50?- Yeah.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15I paid £12 for it So it's for nothing, isn't it?
0:32:15 > 0:32:20This is my final object. It is a nice object, it's 1888.
0:32:20 > 0:32:25I think here not exceeding one ounce, one penny would refer possibly to the penny black.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29I'd put it in at £60-£90. What have I got next?
0:32:29 > 0:32:34- Barbs, this is my best thing I've bought all the time I've been here, I think.- That is very nice indeed.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39- So what's that going to make at auction, Barbs?- I think that's going to be about £60-£70.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- Really?- Yeah, why? - I'll lose money then, won't I?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- How much did you pay for it?- 85.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46I think you stand a chance of getting your money back.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- On to the auction then. - Yes, may the best man win.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51I'm sure you will, Barbs.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Nice words, gentlemen,
0:32:54 > 0:32:56but what do you really think?
0:32:56 > 0:33:00I think that phallic root thing of David's might do quite well. He's got high hopes for his scales
0:33:00 > 0:33:03but it's the joy of it, we're in the lap of the gods now.
0:33:03 > 0:33:10Wasn't so keen on the butter churn or the pats and I think the large bottle he bought, it's very plain.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- Winning's not that important. - Really?
0:33:12 > 0:33:16- Really...um... - Really?- Really.- Really?
0:33:16 > 0:33:17- Really.- Really?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Well, I hope so, for your sake! Really!
0:33:23 > 0:33:29A nervous excitement hits the Road Trip as the inevitable final journey switches wildly.
0:33:29 > 0:33:3348 miles from Blenheim to the handsome city of Gloucester
0:33:36 > 0:33:43Wotton Auction Rooms have been selling antiques and fine furnishings for about 150 years.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Give me £20 for the lot. Will you bid me 15?
0:33:46 > 0:33:51Today's auctioneer, Philip Taubenheim, has a word or two to say.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54We have the Doulton Lambeth tyg.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58Perhaps it's slightly limited in the number of people who would buy it.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02There's some dominoes, for instance, there's always a cut off point for those.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06And finally we have a little 19th century, treenware go-to-bed.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Whenever you find one they're always in really good condition
0:34:09 > 0:34:13because I don't think anyone ever really used them so they always survive very well.
0:34:13 > 0:34:20Philip started this last leg of the Road Trip with £322.23
0:34:20 > 0:34:23and spent £135 on five auction lots.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30David began with £468.80
0:34:30 > 0:34:35and eventually spent £162.50, also on five auction lots
0:34:38 > 0:34:43It's their last sale together so let's pay our respects
0:34:43 > 0:34:46to the uncertain fortunes of Mr Serrell and Mr Barby.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Quiet, please!
0:34:50 > 0:34:55First to get a handle on a purchase is David's Doulton tyg.
0:34:55 > 0:34:5930 I'll take, 30 if you will? 20 If you must, 20 bid.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Thank you, madam. 20 I'm bid. Bid lies there, right in the middle.
0:35:02 > 0:35:0522, at the back. 25, 28, 30 I'm bid.
0:35:05 > 0:35:1032 I'm bid. 34 I'm bid.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- At 34.- More, more.- Get over it, what's all this...?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16£34, sold.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20A profit to start us off!
0:35:20 > 0:35:22- I'm really pleased for you, really pleased.- Thank you.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26Let's press on with Philip's little shortbread mould.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Quite a sweet little thing.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Just on its own, simple as that. Five to start?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Thank you. Five I'm bid, to start.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40At five, you want it now. £6, £8, 14 I'm bid.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42With you, madam, at £14.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Goodness me! - Any advance on that?
0:35:45 > 0:35:49- You're happy with that at £14. - Absolutely brilliant.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55Next up is David's coffee cup and saucer.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00£30 for it? 30 I'll take. 20 I'll take.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03At £10 start? Ten I'm bid. 12 I'm bid, the bid's here.
0:36:03 > 0:36:0814, 16, 18, 20, 22.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11- Five anywhere, at 22 I'm bid. - That's all right, isn't it?
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- It's worth more than that. - What, with a crack?
0:36:14 > 0:36:21- £22 this time, at 22.- Ah! £22.50...minus £22, is...
0:36:21 > 0:36:23not a profit!
0:36:23 > 0:36:25The Barby wounded look again!
0:36:26 > 0:36:30Now let's improve Philip's turn-over.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34If it doesn't sell well drop it on his head.
0:36:34 > 0:36:3530 to start? 20 I'm bid, thank you.
0:36:35 > 0:36:3922 I'm bid, 24, 26, 28,
0:36:39 > 0:36:4330, 32, 34, 36, 38,
0:36:43 > 0:36:48- 40, 42, 44, 42 it is then. - That's good.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51That's good. That's £12 profit that's excellent.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- It's yours, Madame. - Nice work, Philip,
0:36:53 > 0:36:55but can you over-take David today?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Can I see that smile? Oh, my God.
0:36:57 > 0:37:03Well, let's see. It's the match striker, vesta stand up next!
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Gosh, that's unusual.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07£20 to start, 20? Ten if you like.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12- Come on!- Ten I'm bid, 12? 12 I'm bid. Bid's at the back there.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1514, will you? Thank you. 16, 20 I'm bid.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19- 22 I'm bid, 25 I'm bid. At 25 I'm bid.- Come on!
0:37:19 > 0:37:23At 28 I'm bid, 30 anywhere now? 28 this time then, at 28.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26I said all the way down the line that
0:37:26 > 0:37:30I wouldn't have been at all surprised if that really did take off and fly,
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- and it didn't, did it?- No.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36So let's go to bed,
0:37:36 > 0:37:40as Philip's nocturnal companion faces the bidders
0:37:40 > 0:37:42£20 for it? 20 I'll take.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45£10, if you like? Ten bid, at ten bid,
0:37:45 > 0:37:5012, 14, 16, 18, 20,
0:37:50 > 0:37:5225, at 30 I'm bid for it. Anyone coming back in then?
0:37:52 > 0:37:56Bid remains there at £30 then.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00- Well, Philip will sleep easy tonight.- That was disappointing.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Not for you, Barbs.
0:38:02 > 0:38:07And now the toilet water bottle gets to powder its nose.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08£100 for it, 100?
0:38:08 > 0:38:1150, 30 I'm bid for it, 35.
0:38:11 > 0:38:1340 I'm bid, 45.
0:38:13 > 0:38:18And 50. Any advance on it? Sold and done then at £50.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19Goodness.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23This last sale is really going rather well so far. What's next?
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Dominoes box. £20 for the dominoes.
0:38:27 > 0:38:3120? Ten if you like? At ten bid. Ten I'm only bid, ten.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- 12, 14, 16, 18...- Come on, 20.- £20.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- And two? 22 I'm bid. 24 anywhere? - That's all right, Barbs
0:38:39 > 0:38:43The dominoes at £22 have I missed anybody, at £22 this time then.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- Philip, you're on fire. - That is incredible.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Your cheapest things have made the biggest profits.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55Let's see if David can shift the balance in his favour.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Pretty little lot. What do we say, £50 to start? 40 it is.
0:38:58 > 0:39:0145, 50, 55.
0:39:01 > 0:39:0860 and five, 70 and five. 80 and five.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12And 90 and five, 100. Five I'll take.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17100 I'm bid, you're quite happy with that? At £100, then.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22- I'm really pleased for you. - Thank you very much.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Good luck with your last item, Philip.
0:39:25 > 0:39:32This scent bottle, at £85, was, quite frankly, a bit of a risk.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34What do we say £100 for it? 100 for the lot?
0:39:34 > 0:39:37£50 I'm bid, 55, and 60 and five.
0:39:37 > 0:39:42And 70 and five and 80 and 90 and five.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46And 100 I'm bid there. Better, isn't it?
0:39:46 > 0:39:50115 I'm bid, 120 I'm bid.
0:39:50 > 0:39:56Five I'm bid. 125, then, bid lies there at £125 on the corner
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Phew. Good work, but was it good enough?
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Barby, well done, old mate.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05- Congratulations, you've won this round.- Come on, off we go.
0:40:08 > 0:40:15Philip began his last voyage with £322.23 and won the day,
0:40:15 > 0:40:19making a healthy profit, after commission, of £56.93
0:40:21 > 0:40:26He ends his week with a mildly triumphant £379.16.
0:40:32 > 0:40:38The legend that is David Barby started with £468.80
0:40:38 > 0:40:42and made a reasonable profit of just £30.27.
0:40:42 > 0:40:49But David still wins the week with a proud £499.07.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52You've completely nailed me, haven't you?
0:40:52 > 0:40:54I don't think completely nailed you.
0:40:54 > 0:41:01So, let's slot this week's chaps into the Antiques Road Trip Leader Board.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07Philip Serrell is now holding sixth place above Jonathan Pratt,
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Charlie Ross, James Braxton and Thomas Plant.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14New in at Number Four, the triumphant David Barby,
0:41:14 > 0:41:18on top of Mark Stacey but beneath Charles Hanson.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22However, there's no touching the top two
0:41:22 > 0:41:24with Kate Bliss' admirable winnings
0:41:24 > 0:41:27and the gargantuan total of James Lewis.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30The outcome has been good, hasn't it?
0:41:30 > 0:41:34- Absolutely fantastic. - You tried hard to catch up.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Shut up, just shut up.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41You'd never guess it from their words, but Philip and David are great friends.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44# There may be trouble ahead...
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Stop digging me in the ribs!
0:41:46 > 0:41:50# But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance... #
0:41:50 > 0:41:52And what a week they've had!
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Since leaving Lincoln our experts have fought their way across Middle England.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Although, mostly fighting with each other.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Give me a kiss.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05I'm pleased but I'm actually not that pleased for you.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09David's used his signature, school-ma'am indignance
0:42:09 > 0:42:11to crush prices and dealers alike.
0:42:11 > 0:42:16- £20.- £40 would be better.- Who for?
0:42:16 > 0:42:21Whilst Philip was more up front about being just plain mean!
0:42:21 > 0:42:27What I'm trying to do now is start sewing the seed of doubt in my new best friend Richard's mind
0:42:27 > 0:42:29as to how little this is really worth.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32They've both loved their vintage Morris Minor.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Come on, Amy. God bless you my love.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39And, struggling to admit it,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42they've thoroughly enjoyed each other's company too!
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Barbs, what's been the highlight of the whole trip for you?
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Having a companion like yourself, one that's
0:42:47 > 0:42:50so entertaining and chatty. It's been marvellous.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54# Let's face the music
0:42:54 > 0:42:58# And dance! #
0:42:58 > 0:43:06Next week on the Antiques Road Trip, we're meeting a whole new pair of experts
0:43:06 > 0:43:09The wonderful Anita Manning
0:43:09 > 0:43:14and last year's Road Trip Champion, the mighty David Harper.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Painful!
0:43:18 > 0:43:21Anita throws herself out...
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Throw me out of the shop.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26..David throws in the towel...
0:43:26 > 0:43:29I might as well just go home now I've done everything I need to do
0:43:29 > 0:43:33And they both throw themselves into the Road Trip fray.
