0:00:02 > 0:00:05The nations favourite antiques experts, £200 each and one big challenge.

0:00:05 > 0:00:08Testing. Testing.

0:00:08 > 0:00:12Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?

0:00:12 > 0:00:13I love women that do deals!

0:00:13 > 0:00:17The aim is trade up and hope each antique turns a profit.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20There can only be one winner.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22I shouldn't have got too excited.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26So will it be the highway to success or the b road to bankruptcy?

0:00:26 > 0:00:29- Don't faint, hold him, hold him. - Where's the chair?

0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41Starting the road trip this week David Harper and Anita Manning.

0:00:41 > 0:00:47Their classic car of choice, a 1971 Mark IV Triumph Spitfire.

0:00:47 > 0:00:52I might need to just slam the brakes on every now and then, Anita, just to test them.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Well, warn me.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00David Harper is the reigning champion.

0:01:00 > 0:01:07A devil of an antiques dealer, he's champing at the bit to start afresh and give it his all.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09- 80 quid? - 80 quid? That is robbery.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Robbery?- Call the police I think.

0:01:12 > 0:01:17Anita Manning wasn't so fortunate, she came fourth last series.

0:01:17 > 0:01:23But as Scotland's first female auctioneer, she knows her stuff and is one to watch.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Throw me out the shop, throw me out the shop.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28That is shocking, young lady.

0:01:28 > 0:01:34Both experts begin with £200. At the end of each leg of their journey,

0:01:34 > 0:01:40they'll face one another at auction as they fight to make a profit.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42I'm happy, I'm happy.

0:01:44 > 0:01:49This week's Road Trip, an eventful escapade east to west

0:01:49 > 0:01:52across England's breathtaking south coast.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56From Dover to Bideford in North Devon.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Today's leg begins in Dover,

0:01:58 > 0:02:03ending up for their very first auction in Heathfield, East Sussex.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08But before getting down to business,

0:02:08 > 0:02:13David and Anita are taking in one Britain's most iconic views.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Come on, madam.- OK, darling.- Whoa.

0:02:15 > 0:02:20Wow, Look at that. Isn't that marvellous the White Cliffs of Dover.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22I've never been to the White Cliffs of Dover.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26- You must have been on the ferry at some point?- I've never been stood underneath them.

0:02:26 > 0:02:34- Business, David. 200 quid we are buying in the south of England, have you bought here before?- On occasions.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Right. It could be dear.- It could be, because it is a bit touristy.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40I'm desperate to get stuck into some antique dealing.

0:02:40 > 0:02:45David's from North Yorkshire, while Anita's based in Glasgow.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48So being this far south is well out their comfort Zone.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Down here, dealers are notoriously tough.

0:02:51 > 0:02:52Well, have a lovely time.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56OK. This is very interesting. And don't buy anything good!

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Ho-ho! Yes.

0:02:58 > 0:03:05- David's dropping Anita off in Dover as she's keen to do a bit of sight seeing.- Cheerio.- Bye-bye.

0:03:05 > 0:03:11But David's not hanging about, he's motoring straight to his first shop.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14It's a brisk eight mile journey north up the coast

0:03:14 > 0:03:16to a little town called Deal,

0:03:16 > 0:03:22where David will of course be looking to net a cracking deal.

0:03:22 > 0:03:27- Hi there.- Oh, hello there please to meet you I am Carol Yvonne.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Carol Yvonne that's a long one!

0:03:29 > 0:03:33Something attracts David's interest super smartish.

0:03:33 > 0:03:39Hallmarked, Birmingham Z, what's that 1924?

0:03:39 > 0:03:43- They are nicely weighted. They are a pair aren't they? - Yes, they are a pair.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46Now they are very Art Nouveau, really, in shape,

0:03:46 > 0:03:49although they are just trickling into the Art Deco period.

0:03:49 > 0:03:57Art Nouveau or 'New Art' has been described as the first 20th century modern style.

0:03:57 > 0:04:03It was the first design movement to stop looking backwards in history for ideas,

0:04:03 > 0:04:06instead taking inspiration from the world around it.

0:04:06 > 0:04:13Sinuous, elongated curvy lines, like the ones we see on these vases were a signature look.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Their price tag is £98.

0:04:16 > 0:04:21- Is this husband.- Yes. - Nice to meet you. - Hello, nice to meet you too.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Pair of trumpet vases what would the best trade be?

0:04:24 > 0:04:26The absolute death is £40.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27Forty quid trade.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31Well they don't seem dear, do they?

0:04:31 > 0:04:36- Carol I will have those.- You will? - I will. Thank you very much indeed. They are wonderful.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41In Dover, Anita's indulging in some history.

0:04:41 > 0:04:47This unassuming building holds one of Britain's key archaeological sites, which is 1,800 years old.

0:04:47 > 0:04:53It's filled with ancient antiques, and on this road trip, that's not to be missed.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Ah, Brian, hello.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Anita, hello good to meet you.

0:04:58 > 0:05:05Curator or the Roman House, Brian Philip, will show Anita the fruits of a painstaking excavation.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09This began in 1971 after the site was first discovered

0:05:09 > 0:05:12under the proposed location for a multi storey car park.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15I can see a painted room here, isn't that wonderful?

0:05:15 > 0:05:20Yes, you are looking down on the series of rooms of a major Roman hotel for official visitors.

0:05:20 > 0:05:26It is going to be the emperor when he visits, crosses the channel, he is going to stay here.

0:05:26 > 0:05:33Built in 200AD, this hotel was for the Roman top brass as they travelled to and from the continent.

0:05:33 > 0:05:40The archaeological dig discovered six rooms where the inside walls had been covered

0:05:40 > 0:05:46in brightly coloured paintings. It's their partial survival that makes this house remarkable.

0:05:46 > 0:05:51They're the best preserved almost anywhere outside Rome or Pompeii.

0:05:51 > 0:05:58I can still see these lovely rust or iron reds and I can see the shape

0:05:58 > 0:06:03of the panels, almost window frame shape of these panels.

0:06:03 > 0:06:08Why so much of these paintings survive is down to the fate of the hotel.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12Plans for a Roman Fort in AD 270 led to it being partly demolished

0:06:12 > 0:06:16and buried in the new structure's foundations.

0:06:16 > 0:06:23Because of this elaborate decoration, it would have been a luxurious place to stay?

0:06:23 > 0:06:26They were expecting Mediterranean standards here

0:06:26 > 0:06:30in the quality of the building, the paintings and of the entertainment.

0:06:30 > 0:06:36Well, I can just imagine myself in that luxury, perhaps invited along as a dancing girl.

0:06:36 > 0:06:42You never know, Anita. Emperor Septimius Severus might have given you the thumbs up.

0:06:42 > 0:06:48The archaeological teams also recreated the look of the house from their finds.

0:06:48 > 0:06:53Tell me, do these motifs have any special significance?

0:06:53 > 0:06:58They can all be related back to the god Bacchus, the Roman god of wine.

0:06:58 > 0:07:03There is a bacchic wand, there are grape vines, the pair of fronds here

0:07:03 > 0:07:08and the motifs tend to be replicated around the room.

0:07:08 > 0:07:15There was another exciting discovery, an elaborate central heating system called a hypocaust.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Can you tell me how the central heating system would work?

0:07:18 > 0:07:25It's a fairly simply firing technique, you just need a small fire placed in each of these arches.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27It needs topping up every hour,

0:07:27 > 0:07:31and the hot air is drawn in underneath the floors and then up inside the walls

0:07:31 > 0:07:33to heat the whole building.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36And keep everything nice and toasty.

0:07:38 > 0:07:44Back in Deal, David's still very much on an art nouveau tangent.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46This time, candlesticks.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Very flamboyant and very stylish,

0:07:48 > 0:07:55but you can tell quite quickly that they are very new, but it doesn't really matter at £22.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57They are an interior designers dream.

0:07:59 > 0:08:05Original Art Nouveau candlesticks had pride of place in a well to do Victorian or Edwardian household.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09Often as part of a dining table centrepiece.

0:08:09 > 0:08:14Candles, oil and gas lamps were the only lighting available for most homes

0:08:14 > 0:08:19until the arrival of electricity at the end of the first world war.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22- They are quite modern aren't they? - Yes, they are they are reproduction.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25- They are absolute brand spankers? - Yes, they are.

0:08:25 > 0:08:30- Did you buy them as new ones? - Yes.- They might make a little cheeky lot in a saleroom.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34They might do all right. They couldn't be a fiver, could they?

0:08:34 > 0:08:38- I can do them for that. - Do them for a fiver?- Yeah, OK.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Go on then, another one. Thank you very much. Brilliant.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45Might as well go home now I have done everything I have needed to do.

0:08:47 > 0:08:52Meanwhile, someone else has arrived in Deal, all ready to start shopping.

0:08:52 > 0:08:58I am not going to let myself get carried away, at least I will try not to let myself get carried away.

0:08:58 > 0:09:04So be very careful, this is my first shop, first go at it, be careful, Anita.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06That's my advice to myself.

0:09:07 > 0:09:12Anita's chosen shop is a little left field.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Sam, oh, I love your shop.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Owner Sam Jacques is a vintage clothing specialist.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22But he does have with a few antique gems thrown in here and there.

0:09:22 > 0:09:27- I will say one thing.- Yeah? - Top hats go for a lot of money.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29You look great.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32# We're a couple of swells

0:09:32 > 0:09:36# Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh. #

0:09:36 > 0:09:43When the first top hat was born in Britain in 1797, it caused a near riot.

0:09:43 > 0:09:48Passers by panicked, women fainted and children screamed.

0:09:48 > 0:09:53Despite this, it became the most sophisticated hat in fashion.

0:09:53 > 0:09:58This top hat is French, which is rather apt as they invented the design.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01I forgot to tell you, it's got its hat box as well.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Oh, right.- It's a mess but it has got the hat box.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Could I see the hat box down?

0:10:06 > 0:10:12This box is as tatty as tatty. My French accent won't be very good.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15But the shop was in the Place du Theatre.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18I mean, I think that makes it fun with that.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Eight pounds?

0:10:21 > 0:10:26- Eh.- Sam, throw me out the shop, throw me out the shop.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28- That is shocking, young lady. - I know, throw me out.

0:10:28 > 0:10:34I can't do it for eight, you know, it is very old and it is Victorian, and it is beautiful.

0:10:34 > 0:10:41What about having the top hat and the bowler as well, the bowler box.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46Let me see them down. He is trying to make a deal.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49This box is lovely. And this bowler is in good condition.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54The Bowler hat was an English invention.

0:10:54 > 0:11:01It was first created in 1850 for a Sir William Cooke, as a hard hat for his game wardens.

0:11:01 > 0:11:06But eventually it became the head gear of every professional British gent.

0:11:06 > 0:11:12For the bowler and the top hat, Sam wants £35.

0:11:12 > 0:11:18If you could come to £20, and £20 cash and I've got that and I've got a wee chance.

0:11:18 > 0:11:22So between us we would not be doing too badly.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25What do you think? 20 quid?

0:11:25 > 0:11:29- 20 quid?- 20 quid. - 22 and you have got a deal.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Let's go halfway, 21 is a lucky number.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- 21.- That's wonderful.- Brilliant.

0:11:35 > 0:11:42As the day draws to an end, it's time for David and Anita to meet up and head forth.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Still not letting me see what you have bought?

0:11:45 > 0:11:50No, but I am going to have a peep in your bag when you are in the bar.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52It's time for us to head to Margate.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54I am looking forward to it.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57If the sun is shining we'll have a pokey hat.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00- A pokey hat what's a pokey hat? - An ice cream cone.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03- On we go!- Rest well, you two.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06There's still an awful lot of shopping to be done tomorrow.

0:12:10 > 0:12:16A new day of buying beckons for our antiques aficionados.

0:12:16 > 0:12:23I love these coast roads for driving classic cars, you can't beat them, they are all twisty and windy.

0:12:25 > 0:12:30Out of their original pot of £200 each, both experts have bought two lots.

0:12:30 > 0:12:35Anita has spent £21 while David has spent £45.

0:12:35 > 0:12:40Our duo are going their separate ways to make the best of the shops.

0:12:40 > 0:12:45David is motoring 22 miles along the coast to Herne Bay.

0:12:45 > 0:12:50His chosen stop off point has a rich past.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53It was an extremely popular seaside resort in the late Victorian era

0:12:53 > 0:12:58with regular steam boats running here from London.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02But no time for sightseeing, there's booty to be bought.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08This place is massive, it's right up my street, really my...

0:13:08 > 0:13:10HE TAPS PIANO

0:13:10 > 0:13:12..cup of tea.

0:13:12 > 0:13:13Flat!

0:13:13 > 0:13:20David's chosen an emporium that used to be a cinema and is filled with collectables, toys and furniture.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24And there's one thing that strikes a chord with David instantly.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28Good style. It's a bit on the grimy side so it's a good auction piece,

0:13:28 > 0:13:33it is the kind of thing that would looks like it's just come out of a house sale

0:13:33 > 0:13:38and dealers and private buyers love to find things that have just come out of a private house,

0:13:38 > 0:13:41but maybe haven't been on the market for very long.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44A clock like this is known as a four glass mantle clock.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48The mechanism needs winding once a week

0:13:48 > 0:13:53and it should strike the hours and half hours. That's if it works, of course.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57KNOCKING

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Painful!

0:13:59 > 0:14:00Not good.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04Not great. But it would get better with a little bit of treatment

0:14:04 > 0:14:09so again, it is a good auction piece made from brass enamel columns

0:14:09 > 0:14:15pretending to be an 18th century piece but it isn't, it is more likely 1920s-1950s.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19Priced at £75 it is not an expensive clock by any means.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23Anita's quest will begin in Margate.

0:14:23 > 0:14:28A short fifteen mile trip around the coast from Deal.

0:14:28 > 0:14:33A busy seaside resort for 250 years, Margate had Londoners flocking here

0:14:33 > 0:14:41in the 1700s, as sea bathing was seen as the best cure for tuberculosis.

0:14:41 > 0:14:47But no seaside antics for Anita, she needs to bag some antiques.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50I was looking for an Aladdin's Cave and I think I have found it.

0:14:52 > 0:14:58Yep, there's plenty to see, both upstairs and down, with antiques galore.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01I am going to go and find the owner of the shop

0:15:01 > 0:15:03because I want him to open a couple of cabinets

0:15:03 > 0:15:08and I think I should focus on the small things.

0:15:08 > 0:15:14Shop owner Ronnie Scott - not the club owner - is the chap to see if Anita wants a deal.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16But beware! He's very tough.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20- He's lovely - what's his name? Henry?- Yes.- He's quite nice.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24- What do you think? I think he is probably Spanish. - And not terribly old, Ron.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28- Not a million years old. - Maybe not 20 years old?

0:15:28 > 0:15:32I think maybe a bit older than that - maybe '50s or '60s.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35- 40 or 50 years.- Yeah, uh-huh.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39This leather horse is more likely to be English.

0:15:39 > 0:15:45And I remember them as a child, around the pony club camp days.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49You practice saddling up. He's yours for £30.

0:15:49 > 0:15:54- Right, can we keep him out and have a wee think about him?- Certainly.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Meanwhile, David's looking at a tilt-top table.

0:15:58 > 0:16:03Charlie Hanson picked up one of these up in the first week of the competition,

0:16:03 > 0:16:06and made a £30 profit on it, but they're very different.

0:16:06 > 0:16:12For those of you who don't remember, tilt-top tables are useful

0:16:12 > 0:16:15as they can be stowed away pretty swiftly.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18And if you look on the inside you can see where for 200 years,

0:16:18 > 0:16:22that top has been sitting on that base and that base has marked the top.

0:16:22 > 0:16:27Had it been in absolutely original worn and beautifully patinated condition,

0:16:27 > 0:16:29that's £200, £300, £400 worth of table.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Ten years ago it would have been double that.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36But this one has been over-restored and it is...

0:16:36 > 0:16:42Ridiculous! £20 - absolutely a bargain of a lifetime.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44I'll put that on my list.

0:16:44 > 0:16:49Something with a spot of sparkle has caught Anita's eye.

0:16:49 > 0:16:54Tea service, comprising a teapot, a sugar and a cream.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57These aren't terribly popular,

0:16:57 > 0:17:01but this has got a wee sort of Arts and Crafts look about it which I quite like.

0:17:02 > 0:17:07Pewter is a mix of tin, copper and lead.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10This tea service is a pale imitation of designs

0:17:10 > 0:17:15created for London's famous department store Liberty & Co,

0:17:15 > 0:17:19founded in the late 19th century.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23Pewter Arts and Crafts items are extremely sought-after,

0:17:23 > 0:17:24if they have the Liberty name.

0:17:24 > 0:17:31Unfortunately this one from the 1930s is mass-produced and priced at £35.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Can I buy this for £10?- You haven't got a chance in hell, I'm afraid.

0:17:34 > 0:17:39- Have I not got a chance in hell?- No. I'm really sorry, I don't want you to think I'm being rude to you here.

0:17:39 > 0:17:43I'll give you the best trade price - £25 cash and carry.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47Not just for this - that is for all three pieces. £25, it's peanuts.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49It's too dear for me at that.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Well, I'm afraid you'll have to leave it, then.

0:17:52 > 0:17:56Oh, dear, this isn't going well. Time to try a diversionary tactic.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Let's look at the horse.

0:17:58 > 0:18:02I'll do a deal - the tea set and the horse, £45.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Bargain, can't go wrong.

0:18:04 > 0:18:0615 on each. 30 quid?

0:18:06 > 0:18:10Not possible. £40 quid, and I'll shake your hand.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Absolutely the last word.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15£40? £35. Put your hand there -

0:18:15 > 0:18:18£35. Go on, do it for us!

0:18:18 > 0:18:20- £40 is the best I can do.- £35.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23I'll toss you for 35 or 40.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Heads 40, tails 35.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30So it's heads 40, tails 35.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Uh-huh.

0:18:32 > 0:18:33Heads 40!

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Get your money out, girl.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41- OK, we'll take a chance anyway. - Good show.

0:18:41 > 0:18:46- I'll tell you something - it has been great fun.- Good good.

0:18:46 > 0:18:53In Herne Bay, David's list of potential purchases is getting longer.

0:18:53 > 0:18:57A pair of rather nice chandelier light fittings here

0:18:57 > 0:19:01priced at 80 - a few loose bits of brass here and there.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Date-wise, it is not ancient -

0:19:03 > 0:19:07I would probably think it is mid 20th century. But it doesn't really matter with lights.

0:19:07 > 0:19:11These things new cost an absolute fortune, FORTUNE! Can be hundreds of pounds.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13This is a different being altogether.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17That's very grand, very kind of French-looking.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Looking at the fittings it is probably 1950s,

0:19:20 > 0:19:23the glass is fabulously etched.

0:19:23 > 0:19:27Ah, now there is a massive problem - big break in the side.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28SIGHS

0:19:28 > 0:19:32That new would be five, six or seven hundred pounds potentially.

0:19:32 > 0:19:37It is very good quality. But that break could just kill the job.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Now private buyers would probably be put off.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42A trade buyer like me or an interior designer could live with it.

0:19:42 > 0:19:47For the money, even if that is eighty quid on it's own, that is a bargain.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50So they are very, very good potentials.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56Time for David, methinks, to get a price on his chiming clock,

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Georgian tilt table and the two glass hanging lanterns.

0:19:59 > 0:20:04Chris Ifield is the man in charge, so here's hoping he's in a generous mood.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07Enamel clock, £75 quid on it - what is the trade on that?

0:20:07 > 0:20:11If you're looking at buying a few things I'd do a deal with you but for the moment £70.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Oh, he is too hard, this one, isn't he?

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Well, I will try you with a few more bits. What about that table there?

0:20:16 > 0:20:21Yet again the price is for nothing, £20.

0:20:21 > 0:20:26I'll maybe knock a fiver off that and knock a fiver off that. 15, 70. What's that, £85, innit?

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- 45, was it?- No, no. No chance.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33- Are you sure?- No, 85 is where we are at the moment unless you find something else.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35The more you buy the more I'll bring it down.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39- I am going to have to buy the whole shop to get any sort of discount. - If you can, it would really help us.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43- These two here, Chris, 80 for the pair, is it?- Right.

0:20:43 > 0:20:48Along with the table and the clock, Chris is looking for £165.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52- I'm going to be miles away. We're going to be miles away. - That's all right, it don't hurt.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55- You can offer.- £80?

0:20:55 > 0:20:59- £80, that is like robbery. - Robbery?

0:20:59 > 0:21:01I will call the police, I think!

0:21:01 > 0:21:06I think, we come to £165, something like... I could come out to 140.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08I can't do it, Chris.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10What I'll do is £120 for the whole lot.

0:21:10 > 0:21:15- And that is it. I am finished. - Really, are you dead at that? - £120, that is it for the whole lot.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18That is absolute bargain for you, that is.

0:21:18 > 0:21:24How about 100 or 120 on a spin of a coin, how is that?

0:21:24 > 0:21:25Go on, then.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29Careful, David, tossing a coin didn't work out so well for Anita.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33- All right. Do you want to call? - Tails never fails.

0:21:33 > 0:21:34Heads.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38Sorry mate, but it's been an absolute pleasure. Thank you very much indeed.

0:21:38 > 0:21:39That's all right - no worries.

0:21:39 > 0:21:46So that's £40 for the clock, £10 for the table and £25 each for the lanterns. Wow!

0:21:46 > 0:21:51Whilst it's game, set and match in the shopping stakes for David,

0:21:51 > 0:21:55Anita wants to take advantage of another buying session.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59She's heading 17 miles west to the city of Canterbury.

0:21:59 > 0:22:06It's most renowned for Geoffrey Chaucer's medieval Canterbury Tales.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08But the only tale on the horizon here today is

0:22:08 > 0:22:15about a glamorous lady from Glasgow and her quest for quality antiques.

0:22:15 > 0:22:20What a beautiful, charming shop.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22I can't wait to have a look round.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24- Is it OK if I have a look round? - Please do.

0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Will I leave my bunnet here? - We'll sell that for you.

0:22:28 > 0:22:35Keith and Veronica Reeves's boutique is home to quite an upmarket range of jasperware,

0:22:35 > 0:22:41porcelain, jewellery, silver and collectables, all of which may be a little rich for Anita's diet.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45I can't afford the quality you have, quite frankly.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48They are very beautiful things which I can't afford.

0:22:48 > 0:22:54But maybe you can help me here - something that looks the part but maybe isn't quite?

0:22:54 > 0:22:58- That's me!- Oh, no! - I look the part but I am not quite.

0:22:58 > 0:23:04What could fit Anita's bill is a selection of Alfred Meakin dinnerware.

0:23:04 > 0:23:09On your Alfred Meakin, you have £60 on that.

0:23:10 > 0:23:14Alfred Meakin was a Stoke-on-Trent pottery company

0:23:14 > 0:23:20producing pretty ironstone china and graniteware from the 1870s.

0:23:20 > 0:23:25It even designed the china used on the Flying Scotsman train.

0:23:25 > 0:23:30This 24-piece set is from the 1950s and is Art Deco in style.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34But £60 isn't what Anita wants to pay, so she's about to get cheeky.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38- Don't faint - hold him, hold him! - Where is the chair?

0:23:38 > 0:23:44Where's the chair? I would be looking to buy that in the region of £25.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49- I know that's not dear. - Yeah, go on.- Thank you very much.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51I am very pleased with that.

0:23:51 > 0:23:58It is very nice. Lots of it. And I think I have got it at a price where fingers crossed I will make a profit.

0:23:59 > 0:24:04David's back on the road. He's taking a little educational detour.

0:24:04 > 0:24:09He's on a 17-mile trip from Herne Bay to Broadstairs.

0:24:09 > 0:24:17David is visiting the Dickens House which commemorates Charles Dickens' association with Broadstairs.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Although some of his stories dealt with the gritty realism of life

0:24:20 > 0:24:25in Victorian London, he adored the seaside beauty of this pretty town.

0:24:25 > 0:24:30A large part of his legacy was written not far from this museum.

0:24:30 > 0:24:37Curator Lee Ault has agreed to show him some of the novelist's prized possessions.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40Now we have got pictures and we have got portraits all over the walls,

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Lee, haven't we, obviously all relating to Dickens.

0:24:43 > 0:24:48Well, these are some of the fill-in prints that were put in the bound first editions of the books

0:24:48 > 0:24:51and they are by Hablot Knight Browne, or Phiz.

0:24:51 > 0:24:57- Phiz! Yes, very famous. - Yes, very famous. One of Dickens' favourite illustrators, I think.

0:24:57 > 0:25:03The house originally belonged to Mary Pearson Strong, who Dickens would often take tea with.

0:25:03 > 0:25:09He also based one of his most colourful characters on her, from David Copperfield.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14This is the famous parlour which we know Dickens sat in

0:25:14 > 0:25:16with Mary Pearson Strong, the lady that lived here

0:25:16 > 0:25:19who he immortalised as Betsey Trotwood.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23She used to get up mid-sentence and go outside and hit the donkey boys.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Which of course he witnessed and included.

0:25:25 > 0:25:30- He said, you know, he just found it hilarious. - Well, wouldn't you just?

0:25:31 > 0:25:36Dickens lived and wrote in a house overlooking the shore for many years.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Summer holidays with the family were a favourite.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42He even described the town as "our watering place".

0:25:42 > 0:25:47Not surprisingly, many of his personal letters were from Broadstairs.

0:25:48 > 0:25:54He used to write on average about 12-14 letters a day.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Did he really? Who to? - Friends, acquaintances...

0:25:57 > 0:26:00Some of these are to his friend Beard,

0:26:00 > 0:26:04but you will notice that the signatures on some of them vary,

0:26:04 > 0:26:06some of them just have the plain CD.

0:26:06 > 0:26:11Now, would that make a difference? Would that mean he was just an acquaintance of yours

0:26:11 > 0:26:14or a very good friend, would that determine how he signed?

0:26:14 > 0:26:16- CD was just a good friend.- OK.

0:26:17 > 0:26:22Lee has a special treat in store for furniture-lover David -

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Charles Dickens' very own much-loved sideboard.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27I love the handles, don't you just think?

0:26:27 > 0:26:30Oh, they are wonderful handles.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33He bought this and several other pieces of furniture, so the story goes,

0:26:33 > 0:26:36just a few weeks before he married Catherine Hogarth.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40And I just love the way he didn't take Catherine with him to choose the furniture.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Fantastic! I like the sound of him.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46Dickens died in 1870, aged 58.

0:26:46 > 0:26:50Although married to Catherine Hogarth, who bore him ten children,

0:26:50 > 0:26:55his will of £93,000 - over four million in today's money -

0:26:55 > 0:26:57was to be the subject of controversy.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59Where did all the money go to?

0:26:59 > 0:27:04Well, having spent 15 years keeping his mistress quiet

0:27:04 > 0:27:06and never saying a word about Ellen Ternan,

0:27:06 > 0:27:09the first person mentioned in the will is Ellen.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13- The mistress.- The mistress, who he leaves £1,000 to.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16A lot of money. So it must have been a bit of a shock then,

0:27:16 > 0:27:20at the reading of the will, when the mistress gets herself a grand.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23Well, Catherine knew about the mistress,

0:27:23 > 0:27:26because Dickens, not long after he had met Catherine,

0:27:26 > 0:27:30had purchased a bracelet from Asprey's the jewellers.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32- Very posh.- Very posh.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36And it was accidentally sent to Catherine.

0:27:36 > 0:27:40Excellent! What a dreadful mistake.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44Despite Dickens' turbulent love life,

0:27:44 > 0:27:49novels such as Nicholas Nickleby, A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations

0:27:49 > 0:27:54are still as relevant as they were 140 years ago.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57An incredible accolade for any writer.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02There have been highs and lows for both our experts

0:28:02 > 0:28:08as they've cashed in their bargaining chips in a hodge-podge of shops on the south coast.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Heads. - It's been an absolute pleasure.

0:28:10 > 0:28:14Now it's show and tell time in Canterbury.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Are you ready? Can I reveal first?

0:28:16 > 0:28:20- On you go.- OK. My first purchase. Ready?

0:28:20 > 0:28:22It's David's trumpet vases.

0:28:22 > 0:28:26They have got a bit of an Art Nouveau flow to them. It's late for Art Nouveau.

0:28:26 > 0:28:30- They are in good condition.- Yes, a few little things here and there.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33Yeah, that's smashing. These look interesting.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37Now these, I know that you are going to know that they are not period.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39They are not...of their time.

0:28:39 > 0:28:45The style is absolutely gorgeous, bang on 1900.

0:28:45 > 0:28:46- Tell me how much!- Right, OK.

0:28:46 > 0:28:50You want to get down to the dirty business. All right, OK.

0:28:50 > 0:28:55The pair of trumpet vases in silver, £40.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Right. That's good.

0:28:57 > 0:29:01And the pair of Art Nouveau style, absolutely a steal - a fiver.

0:29:01 > 0:29:06- That's all right.- 'Next, the bowler and top hat combo.'

0:29:06 > 0:29:09- Try it on. - My head's much too big, I'm afraid.

0:29:09 > 0:29:16- We're a couple of swells. - We are a couple of something's, I am quite sure.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19I bought them both for £21.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23- It's not too bad.- There we go.- So you have bought a piece of furniture.

0:29:23 > 0:29:29It's a Georgian table. Now, I valued that at a tenner.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32- A tenner!- Come on, Anita, that's got to make a profit.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35You can't get much cheaper than that.

0:29:35 > 0:29:40He is not Victorian but I think he is maybe 30, 40, 50 years old.

0:29:40 > 0:29:44- His name is Henry. - Really? That will help him!

0:29:44 > 0:29:46And I am hoping he is Champion the wonder horse.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49'David's not so sure, Anita.'

0:29:49 > 0:29:51- I bought a tea set.- Right.

0:29:51 > 0:29:56And I know they are not popular but, coming form Glasgow,

0:29:56 > 0:30:02I like the arts and crafts period and I ended up paying £40 for the two of them.

0:30:02 > 0:30:08- Again, I am going to struggle. - Now then, get ready for this little baby.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11Oh, that's what I would call a big cracker.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14It's a big lump of decoration, isn't it?

0:30:14 > 0:30:16It's lovely but how much did you pay for it?

0:30:16 > 0:30:17I paid for that...

0:30:19 > 0:30:22You are not going to tell me another £10?

0:30:22 > 0:30:23No. No. Four times - £40.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26£40? That is an absolute bargain.

0:30:26 > 0:30:31- Do you think so?- 'Now, Anita's Alfred Meakin ware for £25.'

0:30:31 > 0:30:35I think that that's going to look absolutely lovely on a dinner table.

0:30:35 > 0:30:40- I love that handle. That is screaming art deco. - The handle's good.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43- A couple of crackers. - Oh, yes, those are good.

0:30:43 > 0:30:48They are probably mid to late 20th century. They are going to have 20, 30, 40 years on them.

0:30:48 > 0:30:49They have got the look.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52And they have got the price, Anita.

0:30:52 > 0:30:55Oh, no. How much?

0:30:55 > 0:30:58- £25 each.- Uh-huh! That's OK.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01Well done. I'm not speaking to you.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04Well, it's been a lovely experience, our first trip out.

0:31:04 > 0:31:09- Great characters and a wonderful part of the world.- It's been fun.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12'That was all a bit sugary sweet.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15'I bet there's more to it than meets the eye.'

0:31:15 > 0:31:19After having a look at Anita's items, I think they are all kind of staple antique dealing stock.

0:31:19 > 0:31:24The Meakin ware, there is nothing wrong with it, but these things don't sell so much these days.

0:31:24 > 0:31:28I think David has made some wonderful buys.

0:31:28 > 0:31:32I mean, that clock for £40 - how did he do that?

0:31:32 > 0:31:40The thing I really disliked was that awful, terrible, leather horse. But bizarrely,

0:31:40 > 0:31:43that is probably the only thing that she has a chance of making some good

0:31:43 > 0:31:48money on because bonkers people sometimes buy bonkers items.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51And that thing is just utterly, totally bonkers.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54I think he has done very, very well.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57My goodness!

0:31:57 > 0:32:04So far, our dynamic duo have romped through the eastern corner of England's south coast.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07It's the final leg of the journey

0:32:07 > 0:32:11as David and Anita head for the auction showdown in Heathfield.

0:32:11 > 0:32:16This is where Anita and David will first face each other at auction.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22Heathfield is a handsome market town.

0:32:22 > 0:32:28In Victorian times, there was a cottage industry of chicken fattening

0:32:28 > 0:32:31to make them plumptious for the pot.

0:32:31 > 0:32:36Today, the town is most famous for its annual agricultural show.

0:32:36 > 0:32:40But for our two experts, the focus is antiques and profits.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42- Here we go, David!- Come on, you.

0:32:45 > 0:32:50Watson's Auctioneers, in business since 1874, hold a weekly general sale.

0:32:50 > 0:32:56There's a bit of everything but country furniture and collectables do well here.

0:32:56 > 0:33:00Peter Hobden has 30 years experience as an auctioneer,

0:33:00 > 0:33:03and there's one thing that really tickles his fancy.

0:33:03 > 0:33:08David's clock is a very nice clock and we get a lot of people here who

0:33:08 > 0:33:13buy clocks and are interested in clocks and I think it will sell very well. Probably £80 to £120.

0:33:15 > 0:33:20David has splashed a considerable £145 on six lots.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24The trumpet vases, the art nouveau reproduction candlesticks,

0:33:24 > 0:33:29the Georgian tilt-top table, the fancy clock, and the two glass lanterns.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32- Thank you very much. - Cheers, mate, that's brilliant.

0:33:32 > 0:33:38While Anita has gone "a wee bit canny," spending just £86 on five lots.

0:33:38 > 0:33:44The top hat, the bowler, the Liberty-style pewter tea service,

0:33:44 > 0:33:49- Henry the wonder horse, and the Alfred Meakin dinnerware. - That's wonderful.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52But as ever with an auction, it's completely unpredictable.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55So eyes to the front. Time to begin.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58- You are up first. - Wish me luck, darling.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00I don't. I mean, I do. Did I say that loud?

0:34:00 > 0:34:04Making its mark first, Anita's top hat.

0:34:05 > 0:34:10At £10, I am bid 10, 12, 14, 16,

0:34:10 > 0:34:1318, 20, 22, 25, 25, 28.

0:34:13 > 0:34:17- Oh, yes!- £28, £30.- Hey!

0:34:17 > 0:34:20At £28...

0:34:20 > 0:34:24Yes! I am happy. I am happy.

0:34:24 > 0:34:30A cracking first lot, and an excellent start for Anita.

0:34:30 > 0:34:31That's a very good start.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33- That's a great start.- It is.

0:34:33 > 0:34:37Now for David's trumpet vases.

0:34:37 > 0:34:41£40, 30, £30, 20 bid, thank you.

0:34:41 > 0:34:49£20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 32, at 32, 35 on the book, 38, 40, 42.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51- He's got bids on the book.- Good.

0:34:51 > 0:34:5548, 50, at £50...

0:34:55 > 0:34:57Small profit.

0:34:57 > 0:35:00OK. They've wiped their face.

0:35:00 > 0:35:05Indeed they have, giving David a touch of profit before commission.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07Well, they could have been my big disaster.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09Enter Anita's bowler hat,

0:35:09 > 0:35:14but does it have enough oomph to impress the crowd?

0:35:14 > 0:35:16It's a nice bowler hat, there.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19- Lovely!- I like the box, I must say.

0:35:19 > 0:35:2130 for this lot?

0:35:21 > 0:35:2530, 20, 10... I've got only 10, 10,

0:35:25 > 0:35:27- 12, 14,- Come on!

0:35:27 > 0:35:33- 16, 18, £18, 20, 22, at £22...- Yes!

0:35:33 > 0:35:3725, 25, 28, at £28 this time,

0:35:37 > 0:35:42in the very centre, at £28...

0:35:42 > 0:35:47Yes! I am happy.

0:35:47 > 0:35:48So you should be, Anita,

0:35:48 > 0:35:53I think the pretty box helped BOWL them over. Sorry!

0:35:53 > 0:35:54I'm a mad hatter!

0:35:54 > 0:35:56No.

0:35:56 > 0:36:00Moving on, David's art nouveau style candlesticks.

0:36:00 > 0:36:02Good-looking candlesticks, what do you say to those?

0:36:02 > 0:36:08£30, 30, £20, somebody start me at 10 for them?

0:36:08 > 0:36:12£10 I have got, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20,

0:36:12 > 0:36:19- 22, 25, 28, £28, 30, 32...- Come on.

0:36:19 > 0:36:20£30. In the hat, then, at £30...

0:36:20 > 0:36:23That was a good buy.

0:36:23 > 0:36:24Fantastic.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27A stunning profit for a reproduction,

0:36:27 > 0:36:30perhaps thanks to the persuasive auctioneer.

0:36:30 > 0:36:34- I like him, don't you? - Oh, yes. Well done, darling.

0:36:34 > 0:36:35Thank you.

0:36:35 > 0:36:40On display now, Anita's arts and crafts-style tea set.

0:36:40 > 0:36:44- A pewter tea service.- Come on. - What do you say for that one?

0:36:44 > 0:36:5030, £30, 20, anybody start me at 10, then? £10.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53Oh, come on! Please, please...

0:36:53 > 0:37:01£14, 16, 18, 20, £20. At £20...

0:37:01 > 0:37:03- Oh, well, level pegging. - There abouts.

0:37:03 > 0:37:08Unfortunately, that will turn a small loss after commission.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11I shouldn't have got too excited.

0:37:11 > 0:37:16Next up, the simpler of David's glass lanterns.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18And what do we say for that one?

0:37:18 > 0:37:20Go on. Get in there.

0:37:20 > 0:37:2820 I am bid. £20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35, 38, 40, 42,

0:37:28 > 0:37:33at £42, lady's bid at £42. £45?

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Last time at £42.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Ouch.- Are you happy enough?- No.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41- No, you are not happy with that one? - I am not happy.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43Oh, don't be like that.

0:37:43 > 0:37:47It's still a profit and that's the name of the game.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49- Not bad.- It's all right.

0:37:49 > 0:37:53Now for the elaborate brass and etched glass lantern.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56A statement piece which could go either way.

0:37:56 > 0:38:01- And what do we say for that one? - £100.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04£50, 30, 20 I am bid, £20,

0:38:04 > 0:38:0922, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35, 38...

0:38:11 > 0:38:1645, at £45, 48, 50, 55, 60, 65,

0:38:16 > 0:38:2270, 75, 80, £80, at £80, 85, 90...

0:38:22 > 0:38:27- Come on. - At £90, going to sell it, at £90...

0:38:30 > 0:38:32Not bad.

0:38:32 > 0:38:35Well done, David, well done.

0:38:35 > 0:38:38That's a strong £65 profit before commission,

0:38:38 > 0:38:41putting David way out in front.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44Not bad, You are my good luck charm, I think.

0:38:44 > 0:38:45I hope not!

0:38:47 > 0:38:50Absolutely, Anita.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53Here's hoping Henry can gallop homewards with a profit.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Right, this could be the one for you.- This is it. This is it.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59And what do we say for this one? £40?

0:38:59 > 0:39:0340, 30, £30, 20 I am bid, £20,

0:39:03 > 0:39:08at £20, 22, 25, 28, £28, 30 now,

0:39:08 > 0:39:1430, at £30, at 30, take two?

0:39:15 > 0:39:18- Not too bad. Not too bad. - I think you have done all right.

0:39:18 > 0:39:23It's still a £10 profit, always better than a loss.

0:39:23 > 0:39:28So you are not down, Anita, you are not losing money currently.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31Furniture is popular at this saleroom,

0:39:31 > 0:39:35but does David's Georgian tilt-top table have the oomph to clean up?

0:39:35 > 0:39:37- 80, 50.- Get in there 50.

0:39:37 > 0:39:41- £30, 30 I am bid, £30.- Oh, come on.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43You have done well. It doesn't deserve that.

0:39:43 > 0:39:5132, 35, 38, 40, 42, 45, 48, 50, at £50, 55...

0:39:51 > 0:39:53- Still cheap.- 60 on the book. At £60...

0:39:53 > 0:39:57- That's excellent. - Going to sell it on the book.

0:39:57 > 0:39:59Selling away at £60...

0:39:59 > 0:40:02That's excellent.

0:40:02 > 0:40:03You're a good sport, Anita,

0:40:03 > 0:40:08considering that's another strong profit for your enemy David.

0:40:08 > 0:40:10£50 before commission, not bad.

0:40:10 > 0:40:15I am very pleased that you have made all these profits because I

0:40:15 > 0:40:20think that it might lead you into a false sense of security.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23That's more like it. You tell him, Anita.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26Here's hoping your art deco dinnerware

0:40:26 > 0:40:27can increase your takings.

0:40:29 > 0:40:34- Hold it up. Hold it up.- Lovely pattern.- Beautiful, beautiful.

0:40:34 > 0:40:42£20 bid, at 20, 22, 25, at £25, at £25, lady's bid on the right...

0:40:42 > 0:40:44- He is trying.- He is. He is trying.

0:40:44 > 0:40:48- £25...- Oh.

0:40:48 > 0:40:52OK. A little bit of commission off there. So a tiny loss.

0:40:52 > 0:40:56Despite its pretty lines, it just didn't have what it takes.

0:40:56 > 0:41:00- Never mind.- But you are still into profit overall. Just.

0:41:00 > 0:41:01- Just.- You have done all right.

0:41:01 > 0:41:04It is our first sale, we are kind of finding our feet.

0:41:04 > 0:41:08- I know.- That's easy for you to say, you're romping ahead.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13The final lot is David's clock,

0:41:13 > 0:41:16it's an interesting piece, but will it coin in the bids?

0:41:16 > 0:41:19- Good luck, David. - Thank you, you are very kind.

0:41:19 > 0:41:22There we are, nice pretty clock there, what do we say for this one?

0:41:22 > 0:41:24- £150.- Go on.- £100.

0:41:24 > 0:41:28- Go on.- £100, 50 I am bid, £50 bid,

0:41:28 > 0:41:36- bid only at 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 110, 120.- Come on, come on.

0:41:36 > 0:41:42120, 130 now, last time at £130...

0:41:44 > 0:41:49- £130. That is still good profit. - I am delighted. I am delighted.

0:41:49 > 0:41:52And no wonder, with £90 profit.

0:41:52 > 0:41:53Well done, David.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59- That's not bad.- A profit, Anita.

0:41:59 > 0:42:05Out of her original purse of £200, after paying commission, Anita has

0:42:05 > 0:42:08made a profit of £21.92,

0:42:08 > 0:42:14giving her a total of £221.92 to shop with from tomorrow.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18But first past the post is David.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22Out of his £200, after paying the auction costs,

0:42:22 > 0:42:27he's made an amazing £186.16 profit.

0:42:27 > 0:42:31Giving him a bumper £386.16

0:42:31 > 0:42:35to start the proceedings on the next leg of the journey.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38OK, David, are you pleased with today's auction?

0:42:38 > 0:42:40I am. I am happy.

0:42:40 > 0:42:44I am very happy. But it is one of many a long old journey.

0:42:45 > 0:42:48- Are we ready to roll? - I think we are ready to roll.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51These seats are boiling. It's roasting my bum.

0:42:51 > 0:42:55Too much information. Next time on the Antiques Road Trip,

0:42:55 > 0:42:59our experts both fall fowl of the tough southern dealers.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01How about 80 quid all in?

0:43:01 > 0:43:02No. Can't be done.

0:43:02 > 0:43:06He said, "I think we should end this conversation now."

0:43:06 > 0:43:09And they both find time for a bit of R&R.

0:43:09 > 0:43:12- Come on, let's be having you. - Too cold!
