0:00:02 > 0:00:06The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each and one big challenge.

0:00:06 > 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 > 0:00:14I've got to make a profit.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17The aim is 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 > 0:00:22That could have done better.

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

0:00:26 > 0:00:28- That's 100.- Not 40 then?

0:00:28 > 0:00:30This is the Antiques Road Trip. Yeah.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Our two antiques experts this week

0:00:38 > 0:00:43are David Harper, reigning Road Trip champion, and feisty auctioneer Anita Manning.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46I enjoy my blethers with you.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50- Blethers!- And I quite enjoy this wee car as well.

0:00:51 > 0:00:56# On white horses, snowy white horses, let me ride away... #

0:00:56 > 0:00:59This is the New Forest, and its iconic ponies,

0:00:59 > 0:01:03which have roamed free for many hundreds of years.

0:01:07 > 0:01:14It's an area of outstanding natural beauty, which extends to about 580 square kilometres.

0:01:14 > 0:01:19Its landscape is unique - a living and working remnant of Medieval England,

0:01:19 > 0:01:22with an extraordinary diversity of plants and animals.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Anita is known for her straight talking

0:01:25 > 0:01:28and yesterday David was on the receiving end.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31I'm not convinced about the age of it.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34I knew you were going to say that.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37Let's hope, though, they can stay friends.

0:01:38 > 0:01:44In the course of his 20 years in the business, David has perfected the art of bludgeoning

0:01:44 > 0:01:46the dealer into submission.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48How about this for a deal? Would 15 get it?

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Both experts started this week with £200.

0:01:54 > 0:01:59David consolidated his lead in yesterday's auction when his hand-painted moon flask

0:01:59 > 0:02:00almost doubled its money.

0:02:00 > 0:02:05- I made a profit anyway.- He starts this leg with a whopping £407.97.

0:02:05 > 0:02:11Anita, sadly, didn't do particularly well with any of her items.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15If you're all done, fair warning. I sell online at £32.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19I'm disappointed with that one.

0:02:19 > 0:02:25Her day's spending money is a less substantial £226.18.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28I haven't disgraced myself.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31- You haven't at all. - I haven't disgraced myself.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33- You're making money Anita. - I've made...

0:02:33 > 0:02:36It's not going to keep the wolf from the door.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39No, it's not going to pay the mortgage, is it?

0:02:39 > 0:02:43This week's road trip is a fascinating drive from the south east

0:02:43 > 0:02:47to the south west of England, from Dover to Bideford.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52Today's leg kicks off in Bournemouth, and our two chaps

0:02:52 > 0:02:54end up in Wells for auction.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59Bournemouth is a prime tourist destination

0:02:59 > 0:03:01with its seven miles of sandy beaches,

0:03:01 > 0:03:04and rainfall at half the national average,

0:03:04 > 0:03:07it's the perfect place to relax.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Oh, David let's stop here and have a look at the sea.

0:03:10 > 0:03:11Oh, isn't that just...?

0:03:11 > 0:03:13That is wonderful.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15- A traditional beach holiday.- It is.

0:03:15 > 0:03:21According to a 2007 survey, it was also found to be the happiest place in the UK.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Well, David this is the life. This is the life.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Look at that. I would love to be in that water.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33- Well, I hope you don't get in too much deep water with your buying.- Oooh!

0:03:33 > 0:03:38Um, guys, aren't you supposed to be...shopping?

0:03:40 > 0:03:44First stop for both our experts is dealer Bonnie Cook.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48Her shop's not very big. This is going to be interesting.

0:03:50 > 0:03:56These are the kind of thing I find fascinating when you're wandering around antique shops.

0:03:56 > 0:04:01It looks very dull and boring and obscure, really, just a plain black box.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05But it's made out of papier mache, very fashionable in the late 19th century.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Probably around 1880 and it's a snuff box.

0:04:08 > 0:04:13But open this thing up and inside we find two pictures,

0:04:13 > 0:04:19obviously man and wife, and they've probably been there for possibly 100 years.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23These are the kind of thing that keep me going in the antique business.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25You find these items and they touch something

0:04:25 > 0:04:30and suddenly you've got a connection to people who lived a very long time ago.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35Across the shop, Anita also glimpses something that takes her fancy.

0:04:37 > 0:04:43Nice wee Greek key pattern there. It's like a silver overlay.

0:04:45 > 0:04:50There's a wee art deco look about it, quite nice. But glasses aren't all that popular.

0:04:50 > 0:04:57I don't want to buy these goblets. But they are nice.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00There's no time for window shopping.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01I love him.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Yes, it's a little night light.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05He is a bit mad, isn't he?

0:05:05 > 0:05:09So he's a little glass owl, I mean, it's cheaply manufactured,

0:05:09 > 0:05:12but it's got a real charm, hasn't it?

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Yes, I should imagine it's '30s or '20s.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17I would have thought so and he'll be quite nice lit up.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Is he incredibly cheap or not?

0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Yes.- Is he?- He can be.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Keep your voice down cos Anita Manning's listening.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27I hope I'm not cramping your style, David.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Well, not yet, but I think you might be.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Really, 20?- Yeah.

0:05:32 > 0:05:38Could it be drastically cheaper? Could be absolutely horrendously, drastically cheaper?

0:05:38 > 0:05:42Well, it can be, I suppose, ten because I bought it with some other things.

0:05:42 > 0:05:47Could it be five? I mean, did he... I just think.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49That's a hoot.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54I mean, I know fiver's no money but...

0:05:54 > 0:05:56No, it's not, is it?

0:05:56 > 0:06:00I know but if he came in a house clearance he probably doesn't owe you anything.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01- Yes, OK.- Shall we do that?

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Let's put him down but don't tell Anita.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07He's chatting up the dealer. He's chatting her up.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09I know what he's doing.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Right, can I have a look at this? Of course.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18It's a Black Forest... As you probably know,

0:06:18 > 0:06:21he must have had a bowl of some sort.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24I wonder what he could have had. He's Black Forest, for sure.

0:06:24 > 0:06:31So dates... They were making these things prolifically, weren't they, in the early 20th century?

0:06:31 > 0:06:37Black Forest carvings were very much sought after in the 18th and 19th centuries.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39However, they're made in Switzerland,

0:06:39 > 0:06:44and not, as you'd think, Germany's Black Forest. How confusing!

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Is he cheap enough or...?

0:06:46 > 0:06:47Um...

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- I don't know how cheap you want to be but it can be ten.- OK.

0:06:52 > 0:06:53Get a move on, David.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Anita wants to do some buying, too!

0:06:57 > 0:07:02I think that's an artist's easel. This is my daughter's cabinet, actually.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05I'm trying to get her to do unusual jewellery.

0:07:05 > 0:07:10Anything that's a wee bit unusual, that's the thing that's selling.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13- That's right. - I like buying jewellery.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15I think that's got a bit of style about it.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19And it's very reasonable at £12.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21You can't see a silver hallmark on it.

0:07:21 > 0:07:26No, I thought it did have one. Perhaps my daughter's stupidly put the ticket over it.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29It's maybe a wee bit hard for silver.

0:07:29 > 0:07:35- Yes, possibly.- And precious metals seem to be what's attracting our two experts today.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39Let me show you this thing here, I don't know how much it is.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43It looks like it might be bronze, but it isn't. I think it's bronzed.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46And it's obviously quite modern but incredibly stylish.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50And just in case you were wondering, it's a candelabra.

0:07:50 > 0:07:55I'll tell you what that, if it's dead cheap in an auction,

0:07:55 > 0:08:00it might be a cheeky number because people might just think, wow, that is a design piece.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04When Anita's stopped gassing, I'll get a price.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06How rude, David.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10But I don't think Anita's going to let Bonnie go just yet.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Certainly silver.- Yes.

0:08:15 > 0:08:21Judging by the hallmark, these earrings are continental rather than British.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22What sort of price are these?

0:08:22 > 0:08:26They can be ten for the pair.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28What I was thinking was...

0:08:31 > 0:08:37To put it in, that would make a nice wee a sort of lot comprising,

0:08:37 > 0:08:39so what could you do them for?

0:08:39 > 0:08:42I'll do them both for ten.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49- ANITA MOUTHS - OK.

0:08:50 > 0:08:56Now that Anita's finished shopping, David finally has Bonnie to himself.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00It's nice quality, and there's no damage on it.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01It's a good shape.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Well, it's gilded and it's sort of dimpled.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10- It's hand painted, isn't it?- Um... It is Victorian anyway.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Yeah, it's got to be, hasn't it? Circa 1900.- Yes.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17And used for what? I mean, it's throwing me a little bit.

0:09:17 > 0:09:23I should imagine it was for jam. It's got a slightly Japanese influence.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27It goes back to our fascination with anything oriental in the late 19th century.

0:09:27 > 0:09:33Although we know it's not Japanese, it was made either here or on the continent,

0:09:33 > 0:09:35but in the Japanese taste.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39- What sort of money is it? - I'm afraid that's 45.

0:09:39 > 0:09:46Oh, you do right to be afraid, Bonnie! That is absolutely... You should be petrified, not afraid.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Bonnie that couldn't be drastically cheaper, could it?

0:09:50 > 0:09:53- How about this for a deal? - I don't like your deals.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57You'll like this one, you'll like it a lot, are you ready for it?

0:09:57 > 0:10:00- The owl.- Yes.- The bear.- Yes.

0:10:00 > 0:10:07The glass thingamabob from the late 19th century, and the absolute stark raving mad

0:10:07 > 0:10:13- standing candelabra thing...- Right. For a grand sum of...

0:10:13 > 0:10:15You say.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17I daren't say it. 30.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19- 30.- 30?

0:10:19 > 0:10:26You are pushing it, David. The shop price for these four items is a staggering £115.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Can we do £30?

0:10:30 > 0:10:33I suppose I'm going to have to.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Four items, 30, will you do it? - Yes, I will.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39- You're a dreamboat. Thank you very much indeed.- OK.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Smoothie.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44So, that would be £5 for the bear, £5 for the glass owl lamp,

0:10:44 > 0:10:49£10 for the candelabra and £10 for the glass jar.

0:10:49 > 0:10:50Wish me luck.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Yes, I wish you all the best. - Thank you very much.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57I hope you make a huge profit, unlike myself.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02You don't take any prisoners, David, do you?

0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Oh.- Hello, you.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08David, you've been a long time.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Just looking, haven't bought anything.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12OK, I loved listening to your patter.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Really? Did you learn anything?- Yes.

0:11:18 > 0:11:23Anita's got some catching up to do if she wants to dent David's lead,

0:11:23 > 0:11:25so she's shopping again.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28This time at dealer Clare Midgley's, who's also in Bournemouth.

0:11:28 > 0:11:29Morning.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33There was a lovely wee settee in the window.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37- Yes, that's so sweet.- Can I have a look?- Yeah, sure, yeah.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43I think it's been made by a dad for his wee girl.

0:11:44 > 0:11:49- He hasn't been a cabinet maker. - No, I'm afraid not.- But it's been made with love.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52If you look at this, I mean it's quite roughly, toughly made.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55And he's stapled it. There's a staple gun at the back.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01Because it's a cheap plywood, so it's not...

0:12:01 > 0:12:04From a distance, it looks good though, doesn't it?

0:12:04 > 0:12:06I think even from here it looks quite nice.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09And this is the wee dolly, did the dolly come with it?

0:12:09 > 0:12:14- No.- I quite like cloth dolls. Again, this is quite a simple thing.

0:12:14 > 0:12:1820th century, anyway. No great age. But appealing.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21The doll and settee cost £20.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25Now, I don't think they're dear, I don't think your prices are dear

0:12:25 > 0:12:29- but we have to go to auction. - Of course.

0:12:29 > 0:12:34Would I be able to buy these both...for 12?

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Let's say 15.

0:12:37 > 0:12:38Could you do it for 14?

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Oooh.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43Oh, no, I hate doing this. Throw me out of your shop.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46- You've got to.- Throw me out of your shop.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50- OK, um... Yeah, I'll do that for you.- Could you do those for 14? - That's fine. Yeah.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54That's one deal done and she's not finished yet.

0:12:54 > 0:12:59Claire, could I have a wee look at that bug brooch?

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Is that a wee hallmark I see?

0:13:03 > 0:13:06I don't know, it's so indistinct. I don't think it's gold.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10These are just glass. These are just paste glass.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13I find that people like bug brooches.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Oh, yes.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Bug heaven, eh, Anita?

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Could I have a wee look at that one?

0:13:21 > 0:13:22- That one?- Uh-huh.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26That's quite an interesting piece.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31It's supposed to be an opera mirror, that's what I was told it was.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33- But what that means, I'm not quite sure.- Right, OK.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37So you would have it as a pendant, and then put on your lipstick.

0:13:37 > 0:13:42Maybe even have a look at the chap behind you.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46Of course. It's quite interesting.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51I've never actually come across an opera mirror before.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53But it's a lovely story.

0:13:53 > 0:13:58As Anita haggles, David finishes his shopping for the day.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02He's leaving Bournemouth and is heading towards Weymouth.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08The town has had a long history as a fishing and trading port.

0:14:08 > 0:14:13It was also one of the first modern tourist destinations

0:14:13 > 0:14:16after George III started spending his summers here.

0:14:16 > 0:14:21Now it's hosting the Olympics sailing events in 2012.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23I've left Anita because she's hardly bought anything.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25I bought four items and here I am in Weymouth.

0:14:25 > 0:14:30David's next destination is another antiques shop but he's not here to buy.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35- Ah. You must be David.- Yep.

0:14:35 > 0:14:39- Hello, David. David Harper, I've heard a lot about you.- Oh, great.

0:14:41 > 0:14:46The Nautical Antiques Centre is as much a museum as a shop.

0:14:46 > 0:14:52Owner David Warrick is an ex-seafarer, with a passion for all things maritime.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55He joined the Merchant Navy when he was just 16

0:14:55 > 0:14:58and travelled all over the world in the course of his career.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Is that a real stuffed parrot?

0:15:00 > 0:15:05That's not real, I'm glad to say. That was a souvenir from one of the voyages into the Baltic.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Oh, he's fantastic!

0:15:07 > 0:15:10It has taken him more than 50 years to build such an impressive collection.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13His passion has become a business.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16and he wants to show David his treasures.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Well, this is the bane of my life. That is woodworm.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Ship's woodworm.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Ship's woodworm, I take it, are bigger than normal woodworm.

0:15:24 > 0:15:29That's the actual thickness of a ship's hull, so you can see that the worm

0:15:29 > 0:15:32going through there would eventually sink a ship.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36This was one of the clipper ships - this was actually the Lightning.

0:15:36 > 0:15:41They made these ships as light as possible to cross the ocean as quickly as possible.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47The Lightning was built in 1854 from soft pine wood,

0:15:47 > 0:15:52which made it fast but vulnerable to worm and often timbers had to be replaced.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56What were the clipper ships doing? What was their job?

0:15:56 > 0:16:00They were mainly to collect tea from China.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Tea in those days was, as you know, was like gold dust.- Absolutely right.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06One of my favourite items in the antique business are tea caddies.

0:16:06 > 0:16:12When you look at very early tea caddies, they're tiny because tea was so expensive.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16As we get into the 19th century, we see tea caddies getting bigger

0:16:16 > 0:16:21as tea becomes cheaper, because all these clippers were booming all around the world,

0:16:21 > 0:16:23bringing the stuff back in huge quantities.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25One of the things when I was at sea as a cadet,

0:16:25 > 0:16:31we used to have to sweep out the holds and after a tea cargo had been discharged in London,

0:16:31 > 0:16:33we used to take our pillow cases,

0:16:33 > 0:16:38and fill a pillow case full of tea sweepings and take home.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40It kept my mother in tea for a year.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43And there are still more treasures to discover.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Tell me about what you've got down here.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50This actually here is a cannonball.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Cannonball...wahay! My goodness me.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56You wouldn't like that around your neck.

0:16:56 > 0:16:57Oh, my gosh.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00The whole principle of this is that these were fired

0:17:00 > 0:17:01to slow a ship down

0:17:01 > 0:17:02when you were chasing it to try and catch it.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04That would take the mast?

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Take some of the rigging out and take some of the sails.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08That was a shock, you gave me a shock there, David.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11I tell you what, if you were a sailor on the receiving end of that,

0:17:11 > 0:17:14you probably wouldn't know about it, to be honest.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Bearing in mind most sailors couldn't swim.- No, that's true.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Why couldn't they swim? - Didn't think it was necessary.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Why not? What if they fell overboard?

0:17:22 > 0:17:23Confidence. Uh...

0:17:23 > 0:17:25They very often preferred to drown

0:17:25 > 0:17:29because their ship could never turn round quick enough to pick them up.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Oh.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35Just before you go, there's one final thing I'd like to show you.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37- You can imagine fishing, can't you? - Yeah.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41- In the middle of the ocean miles from anywhere.- So what's that?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44- And you get attacked.- By what? - By a saw tooth.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Oh, it's a sword fish.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48And this fish has just gone straight through it like that.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52And the fish has attacked the boat and it's lost the end of its sword?

0:17:52 > 0:17:57- Correct.- "Was struck by a sword fish in July 1859."

0:17:57 > 0:17:59You're kidding.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03They've actually sunk boats and drowned sailors.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06It's been a fascinating visit.

0:18:06 > 0:18:07Absolute delight.

0:18:07 > 0:18:12I'm so glad you came and it was a fine day, and you saw some of my treasures.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15But it's time now for David to head back to Bournemouth,

0:18:15 > 0:18:21where his partner in crime is sniffing out her own little piece of nautical history.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25This is an interesting wee lot here.

0:18:25 > 0:18:30What we have is a jigsaw puzzle and it's off the Queen Mary,

0:18:30 > 0:18:36Clyde built, just like me, but we have the box here.

0:18:38 > 0:18:44Now this would have been sold or given away to passengers on the Queen Mary.

0:18:44 > 0:18:51And shipping memorabilia, especially Cunard shipping memorabilia, is very desirable.

0:18:51 > 0:18:56White Star is best known as the shipping company which commissioned the Titanic.

0:18:56 > 0:19:02By 1934, when the Queen Mary was being built, it had merged with its rival, Cunard.

0:19:03 > 0:19:09The box is in perfect condition and that's important when you're buying toys.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11And all the pieces are there.

0:19:14 > 0:19:19It's priced at £40. But Anita makes a cheeky offer of £20.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22Is it possible to buy it at that price?

0:19:22 > 0:19:26You can't... What about £25? Is that not...?

0:19:26 > 0:19:29I wonder if I could do a deal on a couple of items?

0:19:30 > 0:19:34I like this. Bug brooches, always interesting.

0:19:34 > 0:19:39What I'm looking for is round about £50.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42And that's me taking a wee bit off of everything.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48You certainly have, Anita. The combined cost of these items is £85.

0:19:48 > 0:19:55But you want to pay £10 for the brooch, £20 for the silver mirror pendant and £20 for the jigsaw.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00So, really in my head, you are going to get that for £20 now which is what you wanted.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04Uh-huh, yeah, but what I'm doing is I'm buying two more things.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07I can do that, yeah, I hope you make some money on it,

0:20:07 > 0:20:09and I hope you beat the other chap.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11So do I. So do I, Claire.

0:20:11 > 0:20:18- So that's 50 and 14 is 64. - 64, lovely, thank you very much.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20It's been an absolute pleasure.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Both our chaps have shopped until they've dropped.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29So let's leave them to put their feet up, and have a rest.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32I just hope they don't get too comfortable.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50It's the second leg of David and Anita's journey across Dorset and Somerset.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56So far, David has bargained hard.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58And spent just £30 on four items.

0:20:58 > 0:21:04His spending money for the day is £377.97.

0:21:04 > 0:21:11Anita has been rather more of a spendthrift and spent £74 on five items.

0:21:11 > 0:21:15She's left with £152.18 to spend.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18David, I'm going through to Poole today.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21I know you are, you're a very lucky girl.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Are you going to go and visit the pottery?- Yes, yes.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28And you are actually going to drive the motor vehicle, aren't you?

0:21:28 > 0:21:30SHE STARTS CAR

0:21:30 > 0:21:31Yes!

0:21:36 > 0:21:37- Bye bye!- Bye bye!

0:21:40 > 0:21:43This morning, Anita's leaving Bournemouth

0:21:43 > 0:21:45and heading west to Poole.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49It emerged as an important port in the 12th century because of the wool trade.

0:21:49 > 0:21:55And by the 18th century, it was one of the busiest ports in Britain.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59But before Anita sees the sights, there's shopping to do.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04First stop, dealer Brian Neale.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06This is an interesting item.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08And I always love this type of thing.

0:22:08 > 0:22:13- It's a Victorian home entertainment system.- It is, yeah.

0:22:13 > 0:22:14This is a particularly nice example.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16It's a graphoscope.

0:22:16 > 0:22:20Otherwise known as a stereoscopic viewer, a 19th-century parlour instrument

0:22:20 > 0:22:23used to magnify images.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26You put the cards in there, and you get a 3D effect.

0:22:26 > 0:22:30- And these cards are perhaps of... - Grand Tour.

0:22:30 > 0:22:36- The Grand Tour. So, it's what you would show your pals. - That's right, yeah.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39How much do we have on that?

0:22:39 > 0:22:43Well, that, I'm afraid, would be about £280.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46It's a wee bit rich... for my budget.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53Back in Bournemouth, David's at Lionel Geneen Antiques.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56And on the hunt for something that won't break his budget.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Let me just have a grab of these.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04So, we've got the Xixi dogs again, haven't we, lion dogs.

0:23:04 > 0:23:11Yeah, a pair of soapstone dogs, Chinese, sort of, turn of the century.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15Last century, 1900-ish, maybe between the wars, little bit later.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19- I think so, probably more so, but good decorator pieces.- Absolutely.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22I love these dogs. You've always got a male and a female.

0:23:22 > 0:23:27People think they're nasty looking things, but they're actually warding off evil spirits.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29So if you own them, you're in luck.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32I mean, they're decorative things.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35I can do those for £40 the pair.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37They're cheap enough but...yeah.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39You still don't think there's a profit?

0:23:39 > 0:23:42I don't, I think 20 quid we might have a chance.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44I admire your optimism!

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Do you?

0:23:46 > 0:23:53As David bargains hard, Anita's still in Poole, admiring another impressive creature.

0:23:54 > 0:23:55That's a beauty.

0:23:55 > 0:24:01Yeah, it's the largest rocking horse that's ever been in the shop, and I actually think it's for adults.

0:24:01 > 0:24:02Another parlour game?

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Yeah, another parlour game.

0:24:04 > 0:24:09The horse costs a rather steep £1,500. Wow.

0:24:09 > 0:24:14He's obviously won some sort of competition, he's got his rosette.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18- Did you put that on him? - Yeah, I did. Yeah.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Back in Bournemouth, David's still hunting for antiques.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Can I have a look at this?

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Yes, that I think is actually very interesting.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33I mean, it's obviously just some sort of loving cup or...

0:24:33 > 0:24:35- A tyg they call them.- A tyg, yes.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38But if you look at it closely,

0:24:38 > 0:24:44it's got a huntsman on horseback with dogs and a hare.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48It's not got a factory mark. Obviously, English stoneware.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52About 1860ish, a little bit before Dalton.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55Look at the dog handles, I mean, aren't they great?

0:24:55 > 0:24:58And, of course, a tyg would be to pass to you, pass to you,

0:24:58 > 0:25:00all have a swig of it.

0:25:00 > 0:25:06It was probably used for a drink either before or after they went out hunting the hare.

0:25:06 > 0:25:07What sort of trade would he be?

0:25:07 > 0:25:09£30.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11- £15 wouldn't get it? - No, it wouldn't!

0:25:11 > 0:25:13I thought it wouldn't, I'm just asking!

0:25:13 > 0:25:15What would be the absolute death trade?

0:25:15 > 0:25:17- It's marked £50. - It isn't marked £50!

0:25:17 > 0:25:19I said 30.

0:25:19 > 0:25:2025 quid.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Do it for 20 and I'll have it.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24All right. It's yours for £20.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28- Good man!- You're just...

0:25:28 > 0:25:31And David fights to the death.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Anita heads for Poole Museum.

0:25:37 > 0:25:43She's here to see its collection of ceramics from the town's eponymous pottery manufacturer.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49And Poole Pottery is a bit of a Road Trip favourite.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Her guide is Museum Manager, Michael Spender.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55Michael, it's absolutely lovely to meet you.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57And it's wonderful to be here.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59I'm a great fan of Poole Pottery.

0:26:01 > 0:26:07Jesse Carter, a builder's merchant and ironmonger, founded the company in 1873.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10It started out by manufacturing tiles.

0:26:12 > 0:26:18What a great display here, Michael. Which were the earliest ones?

0:26:18 > 0:26:24Well, these lustre tiles are very, very early, and then moving into the art nouveau here.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27Isn't that absolutely exquisite?

0:26:27 > 0:26:30I love the colours.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32The colours are singing to me.

0:26:32 > 0:26:38And I love the almost stylised pattern of the peacock.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42All these lines here are done by hand and then it's all hand coloured in,

0:26:42 > 0:26:44so it's an incredible hand made piece.

0:26:44 > 0:26:48By the early 20th century, the company had begun to produce pottery.

0:26:48 > 0:26:53And Poole Museum has the largest collection on display anywhere in the world.

0:26:53 > 0:26:58Poole Pottery has always had a strong design ethos.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01From the art deco pieces of the '20s and '30s,

0:27:01 > 0:27:04to the clean modernist lines of the '50s,

0:27:04 > 0:27:08it has always reflected the spirit of the age.

0:27:08 > 0:27:18Michael, in this case, we're moving on to the psychedelic insanity of late '60s and '70s.

0:27:18 > 0:27:23And these wonderful colours and patterns reflect that age.

0:27:23 > 0:27:27This inventiveness came at a price.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31The retail cost of one plate was more than a week's wages for the artist.

0:27:32 > 0:27:40This is a perfect example with these loud oranges, blues and yellows.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43And I love this piece, I think it's great. It cheers me up.

0:27:43 > 0:27:47There's just time for Michael to show Anita one final piece.

0:27:48 > 0:27:52This is a coat of arms of Poole, of the town of Poole,

0:27:52 > 0:27:55made by Poole Pottery in the mid-'60s.

0:27:55 > 0:28:00The lady up there is reputed to be Miss World of 1964

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Ann Sydney, who came from Poole.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06She's a good looking bird!

0:28:08 > 0:28:10She's lost her top!

0:28:12 > 0:28:14Steady!

0:28:15 > 0:28:20Anita's been so inspired, she can't resist a visit to the company's studio

0:28:20 > 0:28:24to have her very own piece of original art made.

0:28:24 > 0:28:30Master potter Alan White is on hand to help her out should it all go wrong.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Throw it on really firm and get as close to the centre as you can.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37That's lovely. Now this is where you get messy.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39Hands in the water.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41You can still see my nail varnish.

0:28:41 > 0:28:45Don't worry about that, by the time you finish this, you won't have nails.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48Just get that hand inside there.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52Don't like the look of that!

0:28:52 > 0:28:56- We're going to make a smaller pot than we anticipated!- OK!

0:28:56 > 0:28:59Now lift and both hands come up together.

0:28:59 > 0:29:02- God. I'm making a pot.- Look at that, there we are.

0:29:02 > 0:29:03That's beautiful.

0:29:03 > 0:29:08It's a wee bit wibbly wobbly, but Alan's keeping me straight, aren't ya?

0:29:08 > 0:29:12I think we'll leave it at that because it's a bit on the point of collapse.

0:29:12 > 0:29:16That's not on the point of collapse, that's a work of art, Alan.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19I think that's great, thank you so much.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22It's been wonderful being your wee apprentice.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25Well, we'll get that one decorated in the style of Poole,

0:29:25 > 0:29:29- and we'll make sure you get it. - That's great, I love it.

0:29:32 > 0:29:33What fun.

0:29:33 > 0:29:39It's the end of the day, and Anita meets up with David for the all important show and tell.

0:29:40 > 0:29:44Now my first purchase, a wee bit wee, David, but...

0:29:44 > 0:29:47- A wee bit what? - Wee.- Wee.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50Small? I just need to translate.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53- Now, I love jewellery.- I know.

0:29:53 > 0:29:57- And I decided that I would buy these silver pieces.- Can I handle?

0:29:57 > 0:30:02I wouldn't say that it's terribly old but it has got bags of style.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05- OK, so what sort of money? - I paid £10 for the two things.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08Oh, for goodness sake. Well, I think they're a very good buy.

0:30:08 > 0:30:14- Quite a nice buy. - Here's my first. Now then Anita, what can I say?

0:30:14 > 0:30:16- I quite like it. - Well, I love it.

0:30:16 > 0:30:21I mean who knows who made it, where it was sold.

0:30:21 > 0:30:25- It cost me a tenner.- I think it's a cracking buy for a tenner.- Thank you.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28Now I know you're a furniture man, David.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31I sense a test coming on, OK, give it to me, baby.

0:30:31 > 0:30:36- Well, the auctioneer said that small furniture items go well in the auction.- Oh.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Well, that's small.

0:30:40 > 0:30:44This wee settee and you can't get much smaller than that.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47Well, you can't. It's a copy of a Victorian double-ended chaise.

0:30:47 > 0:30:55That is a monstrosity, but I think for me the doll is the star!

0:30:55 > 0:30:59- Do you think so? - I mean look. Hello. There's your twin sister!

0:30:59 > 0:31:03Spooky... Next up the bear!

0:31:03 > 0:31:05Oh, he's gorgeous.

0:31:05 > 0:31:09- He's a little sweetie. Black forest, carved bear.- How much?

0:31:09 > 0:31:14- Fiver. There's got to be profit there, Anita? - You cannae go wrong there.

0:31:14 > 0:31:19Well, I'm a long way from Glasgow, David,

0:31:19 > 0:31:21and when I saw this item,

0:31:21 > 0:31:25it took me back. It's a jigsaw puzzle

0:31:25 > 0:31:28- and it's of the Queen Mary.- Oh, wow.

0:31:28 > 0:31:32Which was Clyde-built, just like me.

0:31:32 > 0:31:36Yes, well constructed, I've got to say.

0:31:38 > 0:31:42- I love the box, what kind of price?- Well, I got this to about £20.- OK.

0:31:42 > 0:31:46- What you think about that little sweetie.- It's a wee lamp.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50And it's a novelty one and it's got to date to the 1930s.

0:31:50 > 0:31:51It's got a deco feel to it.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54David, I do like that.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57I'm pleased. That came as part of my job lot.

0:31:57 > 0:32:01- How much?- A fiver. - Oh. David Harper!

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Hm! Next up, Anita's bug brooch,

0:32:03 > 0:32:07which is an even better buy than she first anticipated.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10- Yeah. - It's oriental, David.

0:32:10 > 0:32:12Is that a real pearl or not?

0:32:12 > 0:32:16Yeah the pearl's good, it's got a wee bit of jade there.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Can I just test the pearl, do you mind?

0:32:18 > 0:32:22I think it's got a bit of grit there hasn't it?

0:32:22 > 0:32:26- I think that's a real pearl. - This thing, don't know what you're going to think about this...

0:32:26 > 0:32:28It could be called a piece of jewellery.

0:32:28 > 0:32:34- Well, it's silver Birmingham. - It's silver and it's Birmingham 1908,

0:32:34 > 0:32:37but I really don't know if it is an opera mirror,

0:32:37 > 0:32:41- I've never heard of that before. - I've never heard of that before.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44Or it's just the lid of something.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47THEY LAUGH

0:32:47 > 0:32:51Well, I tell you what, if it is a lid of something,

0:32:51 > 0:32:54- which is probably a very good chance.- It's a nice lid.

0:32:54 > 0:32:58- It's a blinking very good lid. - So for the two of them I paid £30.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00OK. Well.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02Ahh. What a nice wee thing.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05- It's quality. I think it's... - Can I hold it?

0:33:05 > 0:33:08Please do. I mean it's hand painted in the Japanese style

0:33:08 > 0:33:13and I date that to late 19th century, possibly early 20th.

0:33:13 > 0:33:17- Silver plated. - How much did you pay for that? - £10 note.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21- Och, David. You've done really well this time.- Do you think so? - You're a bism.

0:33:21 > 0:33:25A bism? You teach me so much what does bism mean?

0:33:25 > 0:33:29- A wee devil. - Eh, have you got any more? - No, have you got any more?

0:33:29 > 0:33:34- I've got one more, and this is my favourite item...- Is it? - ..Of the trip.

0:33:36 > 0:33:38Oh, right.

0:33:38 > 0:33:43So it's English probably mid 19th century Tyg cup or loving cup.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46- It's a good traditional antique thing.- Proper thing.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49Did you have to pay a lot of money for it?

0:33:49 > 0:33:51I think it's also my best bargain. I really do.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53- Tell me how much?- £20. - Yeah, that's great.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56It's got to be, Anita.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58They're all smiles now,

0:33:58 > 0:34:01but what do they really think about each other's auction items?

0:34:01 > 0:34:05Hand on heart, I can't honestly say that I would have bought any of these items...

0:34:05 > 0:34:07I'm not being critical, I promise.

0:34:07 > 0:34:15The loving cup is a wonderful item. £20. He's worked that old Harper magic again.

0:34:15 > 0:34:19Anita's most quirky item has got to be

0:34:19 > 0:34:24the opera mirror/lid. Who knows what it is.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27If it is only a lid then I tell you what, that was the lid of a very fine item.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30When I think of the big picture,

0:34:30 > 0:34:34I think Harper might beat me once again, aargh!

0:34:36 > 0:34:40But will he? Only time will tell, Anita. Don't despair, love!

0:34:43 > 0:34:45On this leg of the road trip,

0:34:45 > 0:34:47our two experts started off

0:34:47 > 0:34:51in Bournemouth and bargained their way to Poole.

0:34:51 > 0:34:54Today, they're heading into Wells for auction.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58Wells is one of the smallest cities in England,

0:34:58 > 0:35:02nestling under the Mendip Hills in Somerset.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05Its most impressive building is its cathedral.

0:35:05 > 0:35:09Built between 1175 and 1490.

0:35:09 > 0:35:16It's been described as "the most poetic of all the English Cathedrals".

0:35:17 > 0:35:19So we're going to our third auction.

0:35:19 > 0:35:25- It should be interesting, David. - Well, it's a good area this, have you noticed?

0:35:25 > 0:35:30It's nicely spread out, good countryside, nice houses, so you never know.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33But will they be wanting to spend money at the auction today?

0:35:33 > 0:35:35Here we are.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37Ooh, ooh, come on, baby!

0:35:37 > 0:35:39Not you, Anita!

0:35:39 > 0:35:44McCubbing & Redfern hold monthly sales of antiques and collectables,

0:35:44 > 0:35:46and offer everything from model steam trains

0:35:46 > 0:35:49to motorbikes and first editions of Winnie the Pooh.

0:35:49 > 0:35:54How does auctioneer Alan Mechan reckon our chaps will fare?

0:35:55 > 0:36:00I like the lid, very well made piece. Very pretty piece.

0:36:00 > 0:36:07Should fly out. The Tyg, if we do get £40 or £60 on it,

0:36:07 > 0:36:09we would have done very well.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12The little sofa and the doll itself,

0:36:12 > 0:36:16remarkable resemblance to Anita there.

0:36:16 > 0:36:20I've not said that. The owl lantern. He's got a chance there.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23But I don't think he's going to beat Anita.

0:36:23 > 0:36:28And that's good news for Anita, who has some catching up to do if she wants to beat David.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30She started this leg with £226.18

0:36:30 > 0:36:35and spent £74 on five items.

0:36:36 > 0:36:43David, however, had £407.97 and spent just £50 on five items.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45So, there's the money.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48The auction's about to start,

0:36:48 > 0:36:52and our two experts can barely contain themselves.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56You're starting to get excited now, I can tell the way you're shuffling about.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59First up, David's candelabra.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03It cost just £10, but David hopes it will make a lot more.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06I'll start the bidding on this at £12,

0:37:06 > 0:37:0714 anywhere?

0:37:07 > 0:37:13£12, 14, 16. 18 with you, sir.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16At 18 with the gentleman, do I hear 20, no?

0:37:16 > 0:37:17£18.

0:37:17 > 0:37:21And that's an £8 profit before commission.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23But David's disappointed.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25That, that...was all right.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27It's bad!

0:37:27 > 0:37:30Next up, Anita's jigsaw puzzle.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34Her little piece of Clydebank at £20.

0:37:34 > 0:37:38RMS Queen Mary for Cunard White Star Line.

0:37:38 > 0:37:42Starting the bidding at £20.

0:37:42 > 0:37:4720, 25, into the room. 28, 30.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50£30 I've got, 35 anywhere?

0:37:50 > 0:37:53At 30. Thought it might go for a little bit more.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Are we all...? 35?- Yes, yes.

0:37:56 > 0:38:00At 40. 45. £40 to my left.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Yes! - Well, done. Well, done.

0:38:02 > 0:38:07And you've doubled your money there, Anita. Splendido!

0:38:10 > 0:38:13David fell in love with this little carved bear.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16But will it appeal to the bidders?

0:38:16 > 0:38:19£16 I'm starting on, 18 anywhere?

0:38:19 > 0:38:2318, 20, 22, sir with you.

0:38:23 > 0:38:27I'm out, 24 anywhere? At 22, 24 anywhere...

0:38:27 > 0:38:30All done at £22.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33A £17 profit for you.

0:38:33 > 0:38:37It's not bad, but it's not quite enough for David.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39- Are you OK? - It's good. It's all right.

0:38:39 > 0:38:44Next up, Anita's job lot of the child's settee and doll.

0:38:44 > 0:38:48It cost her £14, but how much of a bargain was it?

0:38:48 > 0:38:51Starting the bidding on this one at £10.

0:38:51 > 0:38:56£10, £10. 15 anywhere, 15, no I will sell at 10...

0:38:56 > 0:38:58All done at ten.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02And that's a loss. Oh, dear, Anita.

0:39:02 > 0:39:06- Awww.- What a shame! What a shame. - I know.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09Now for David's novelty owl lamp.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12But will it frighten off the bidders.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15Starting the bidding on this one at £22.

0:39:15 > 0:39:1824 into the room, at 22, 24.

0:39:18 > 0:39:2324. 26, 28. Madame, yup, you've got it £28.

0:39:23 > 0:39:28No, all done at 28... Sold at £28.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30And there's nothing frightening about

0:39:30 > 0:39:32a £23 profit before commission.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35That's about 20 quid profit, isn't it?

0:39:35 > 0:39:39- That's all right. Are you happy now? - I'm getting happier.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41Now for the opera mirror, the pendant...

0:39:41 > 0:39:45or the lid? No-one seems quite sure.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47I'm starting the bidding at £10,

0:39:47 > 0:39:5015 anywhere? 15, I'm now out.

0:39:50 > 0:39:5320, 25, 30, at £25.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56Sold at 25.

0:39:56 > 0:40:00And that's a tidy little fiver for Anita.

0:40:00 > 0:40:02There's no harm in that.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06I've made a profit. I'm happy.

0:40:06 > 0:40:07Next up, David's Tyg,

0:40:07 > 0:40:09and he's keeping his fingers crossed.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12I'm starting the bidding at £30, 35 into the room.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14Are we all finished at 30?

0:40:14 > 0:40:1735, anywhere.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19I'm selling at 30, last chance.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21Sold at 30.

0:40:21 > 0:40:25It's a £10 profit, but that's not enough for David.

0:40:25 > 0:40:29I had such great predictions and such expectations.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32Are you going to burst into floods of tears?

0:40:32 > 0:40:37- Would you mind if I did? - Or as they would say in Glasgow, burst oot greetin'.

0:40:37 > 0:40:38HE LAUGHS

0:40:38 > 0:40:41- I've no idea what you've just said. - Now for Anita's bug brooch.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43Her very own creepy crawlie.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47Here we go, fingers crossed.

0:40:47 > 0:40:49I'm starting the bidding at £20.

0:40:49 > 0:40:5125 anywhere?

0:40:51 > 0:40:5320 I've got.

0:40:53 > 0:40:5625, 28. 30. 28 I've got here.

0:40:56 > 0:40:5830 anywhere else?

0:40:58 > 0:41:01At £28, are we all finished? Sold at 28.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03- Well done.- Yes, yes.

0:41:03 > 0:41:07- Anita seems to be recovering her winning streak.- Yes!

0:41:09 > 0:41:12Now, David's glass jar.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14I've got £10. 15 into the room.

0:41:14 > 0:41:17At £10, 15 anywhere?

0:41:17 > 0:41:20At £15. Sold at 15.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23And that's another profit, David.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25A trickle of profit.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27But all these little profits are adding up!

0:41:27 > 0:41:30Finally, it's Anita jewellery set.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32Her earrings and brooch.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34I'm starting at 20.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36At 22 into the room at £20.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39£20. 22 into the room.

0:41:39 > 0:41:40I will sell at 20.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43And it's another £10 profit before commission.

0:41:45 > 0:41:47I'm really quite happy here.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49I've doubled, double, doubled...

0:41:49 > 0:41:52- I can't get my words out, I've doubled my money.- Really?

0:41:52 > 0:41:54Maybe I should give up auctioneering.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56No, I don't think so.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00But who actually did the best at today's auction?

0:42:00 > 0:42:04Anita started the day with £226.18.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07After paying auction costs and commission,

0:42:07 > 0:42:11she made a profit of just £27.33

0:42:11 > 0:42:13and takes £253.51

0:42:13 > 0:42:17forward to tomorrow's show.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20Despite being so gloomy throughout the auction,

0:42:20 > 0:42:23David fared better than Anita.

0:42:23 > 0:42:27He had £407.97 spending money.

0:42:27 > 0:42:31After commission, he made a profit of £43.09.

0:42:31 > 0:42:36He takes £451.06 forward to tomorrow's show.

0:42:36 > 0:42:37I'm learning from you, Anita,

0:42:37 > 0:42:43and be grateful for all small mercies, I suppose, which is no losses.

0:42:43 > 0:42:47We can't make huge profits on everything.

0:42:47 > 0:42:50We should be able to. That's what I want to do.

0:42:50 > 0:42:55Anita and David are more than halfway through their road trip.

0:42:55 > 0:42:56And David's still winning.

0:42:56 > 0:43:00OK, David, on to stage four.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02It will be a new adventure.

0:43:02 > 0:43:05Well, it always is with you, Miss Manning.

0:43:05 > 0:43:09Start first time, are you ready for this?

0:43:09 > 0:43:12On we go.

0:43:12 > 0:43:16In tomorrow's show, Anita and David get physical.

0:43:17 > 0:43:20Do you think I could whack David Harper with them?

0:43:20 > 0:43:22We'll have to have an arm wrestle over this.

0:43:22 > 0:43:23OK, go.

0:43:23 > 0:43:26But it all ends up in tears before bed time.

0:43:26 > 0:43:29I'm really happy.

0:43:29 > 0:43:31THEY LAUGH
