0:00:01 > 0:00:03The nation's favourite antiques experts,
0:00:03 > 0:00:05£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 > 0:00:14- You're a hard woman.- I'm sorry!
0:00:14 > 0:00:17The aim is to trade up and turn a profit.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20But it's not as easy as it sounds and there can only be one winner!
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Will it be the highway to success or the B road to bankruptcy?
0:00:26 > 0:00:28You can do it!
0:00:28 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:36 > 0:00:41It's Round Four of this week's road trip with David Harper and Anita Manning.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44They're careering across the south of England
0:00:44 > 0:00:46in a 1971 Triumph Spitfire.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Anita, I'm determined to keep the roof off.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57You know how I feel, David. I like the wind in my hair!
0:00:57 > 0:01:01You might be getting some rain in your hair! Very soon.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05No hair envy, David! He's the current champion,
0:01:05 > 0:01:10an antiques dealer who likes using a bit of muscle to get a bargain!
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Don't break the table!
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Anita Manning is a Glaswegian auctioneer.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19She's teaching her adversary the antiques lingo from north of the border.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22It's a wee bit wibbly-wobbly.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Burst oot greeting.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I've no idea what you just said!
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Both experts started the week with £200 each.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37After amassing antiques aplenty, they fought bravely at auction in Wells
0:01:37 > 0:01:41and Anita went all-out to beat David.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Yes! Yes!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46But again it wasn't enough.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Oh, what a shame!- Yeah.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52David has scored a hat trick of auction triumphs.
0:01:52 > 0:01:58His original £200 is now a fantabulous £451.06.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Anita has some way to go to get one over on David.
0:02:04 > 0:02:10From her original £200, she starts today with £253.51.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18This week's route, a whizz bang zoom across England's south coast,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21from Dover to Bideford in north Devon.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Today's leg begins with our duo leaving Wells in Somerset
0:02:26 > 0:02:29for an auction showdown in Newton Abbott, Devon.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Their first port of call is Sherborne in Dorset.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38This is a lovely, lovely quintessential English town.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Look at this house. - That's very Tudor, isn't it?
0:02:41 > 0:02:47Yes, Sherborne is arguably one of the most stunning towns in England.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52It boasts a breathtaking abbey and several independent schools.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56You want to go for the biggie today.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- You've been holding yourself back. - Right.- You're frustrated.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Very frustrated. What do I do?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Spend the lot today.- Spend the lot! And what are you going to do?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- I'll try and do the same. - You little liar!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I know you too well!
0:03:12 > 0:03:16David's heading to a new shop that's just opened.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20It's filled with David's first love, Georgian furniture.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- I'm David Harper.- Piers Pasani. - Piers.- Hi.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Why don't you point me in the direction of something
0:03:26 > 0:03:29that stands you at the right money and we can do a deal.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Give me a chance of a profit.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33That came in yesterday.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37It's an 18th-century oak English gate-leg table.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42What date? 1750? '70?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Maybe even a bit earlier than that.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- George II?- Maybe early 18th.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52This table was lovingly made around 1730.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57George II was king, Britain still held the American colonies
0:03:57 > 0:04:00and the Industrial Revolution was just beginning.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Life expectancy, though, was just 35.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06So here's hoping many a merry evening
0:04:06 > 0:04:08was spent round this fine piece of oak
0:04:08 > 0:04:10before it was too late!
0:04:11 > 0:04:15I bought this at five o'clock yesterday evening.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Is it cheapy-cheapy?
0:04:17 > 0:04:22- It is cheapy-cheapy.- Are we talking mega cheapy-cheapy or just cheapy-cheapy?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Well, it depends what you're calling cheapy-cheapy!
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Give me your best price.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Seven hundred quid.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- It's not a fortune, is it?- No. - It's not a fortune.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Come on, David, let's get down to brass tacks!
0:04:38 > 0:04:44- Would £100 buy it?- No. I'd do 165.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I can't do it.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50I can't sell it for less than I buy it for.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- 110.- 125.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- I'll spin a coin with you.- 125.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00- I'm not interested...- 120. - ..whether it's heads or tails.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05It's 125. I'm sorry. You know when a line is drawn in the sand?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- That's it.- Make the line a bit wavy.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11A slight compromise. Give me a chance. At 120, I'll have it.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15It's going to make 350 in that auction!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17125.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Oi! Go on.- 125.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- It's got to be. It's the line. - We'll have to arm-wrestle over this!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- OK.- OK, go.- Go.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Don't break the table!
0:05:28 > 0:05:30120 it is!
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Gosh!
0:05:33 > 0:05:38The ploys to slash prices are just getting stranger and stranger!
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Question is, will Anita be as bullish?
0:05:43 > 0:05:47I'd love to get a whopper. It would be nice to get something really special.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Perhaps Anita's first shop will bring her a spot of luck.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Relocation sale. 50% off.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58This could be it!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02And it's a bit of fun that catches her eye first.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Could I have a look at that baby's plate there?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Yes, course you can. Certainly.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- That's great.- It's fun, isn't it?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I'd love to buy this.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17The thing about it is, to reveal that to David Harper
0:06:17 > 0:06:21with this on it - "Pride goeth before a fall"!
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- You're on to a winner there. - That would really be a great laugh. I'd love that.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31This baby plate bears the back stamp of Doulton
0:06:31 > 0:06:35which dates it between 1902 and 1922.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Take one smug ice skater heading for a hole in the ice he can't see,
0:06:39 > 0:06:44two onlookers watching him knowingly and you have a fun cautionary tale.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46It's priced at £85,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48baby!
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- I would be estimating that 20 to £30.- Ah.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56That is a very low estimate!
0:06:56 > 0:07:01- I'm afraid I couldn't possibly run to that.- You couldn't go...- I'd be paying you, you see!
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Could you go with 30-ish? In the 30-ish region?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09No, I can't... Look, I'll do it for 40.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15- That's...- Is that the lowest? - That is, honestly, otherwise I'll be paying you!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- So £40.- Yes.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Let's go for it.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Go for it.- Let's go for it. It's fun.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23It's fun. It's fun.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28I'm dying to show this to David Harper!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Look at this guy's face.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33He's very self-satisfied.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Harper's a bit like that sometimes.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Come to think of it, Anita, you might have a point!
0:07:40 > 0:07:42But beware! David's loitering just outside.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Oi, you!
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- Oh, David!- I've caught you coming out with a bag. What have you got? Let's have a look.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Nothing, nothing.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- One item.- There are lovely things in there, David,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- but I would forget it. - Really?- Yes.- Really.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59No, I'm still going in!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Good luck, darling. - You, too, sweet pea!
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Do you think that mean that? It's David's turn now to find a gem.
0:08:08 > 0:08:14I hope he's gentler with shop owner Fran Bryant than her previous customer! But it's unlikely!
0:08:14 > 0:08:18That's a bonny thing. It's a mystery object.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20The question is, what is it?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24I'd be grateful for some advice on that because I haven't got a clue.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I assume it's a bottle stand.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31That's what I thought, but we've got a dip here and a flat bit there.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I can't work out why.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Has it got much age to it?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I think it's late Victorian. It's got no marks underneath,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- which is a good sign. - Where did it come from?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44A lady brought it in.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46She said, "I don't know if this is any good."
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I thought, "Neither do I, but I'll have a go."
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Give me an idea what that might be.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54That MIGHT be £30.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56MIGHT it? Might it be 15?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- I think it definitely might not be 15.- Really?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Let me see if there's something else I could buy.- OK.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- You might just throw that in as a sweetener.- We'll see.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Anita is back on the road, taking a break.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15She's commandeered the little red devil for an educational detour.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21She's left Sherborne for a 23-mile trip to Stoke St Gregory.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Anita's dropping in on the home of Somerset's historic willow industry.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Jonathan, I'm Anita.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Jonathan Coates's great-great grandfather
0:09:33 > 0:09:36founded P.H.Coate and Sons in 1819.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39They've been making everything from governesses' carts
0:09:39 > 0:09:44to berry-picking baskets for over 190 years. Today,
0:09:44 > 0:09:51this is the only company in Britain that grows, harvests and manufactures willow products
0:09:51 > 0:09:52on a large scale.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56It dates back hundreds and hundreds of years,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59but it really took off in the early 1800s.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Why did they use willow as a material
0:10:01 > 0:10:05rather than oak or beech or whatever?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Its lightness and its durability.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11It's light in weight and was very easy to put together.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Here's a wonderful old picnic hamper.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17When did these date from?
0:10:17 > 0:10:22Well, the picnic hamper was supposedly invented by Scotts of London
0:10:22 > 0:10:25and was shown at the Great Exhibition in 1851.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30It reminds me of Enid Blyton, the Famous Five, the Secret Seven,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and wonderful picnics in the countryside during the summer.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Absolutely lovely.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40We have traditional seats, but this looks a rather odd one.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Tell me what this is, Jonathan. - This was used
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- in the early fighter aircraft during the First World War!- Really?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Again for its lightness and durability.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52The hole in the seat is for the straps to come up through.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Right.- Not for very scared pilots!
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Jonathan is keeping the family tradition alive.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04He supplies baskets and signage to some of the UK's biggest supermarkets.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07He's even made props for movie director Steven Spielberg.
0:11:07 > 0:11:14The company also makes willow coffins for those of us wanting to reduce our carbon footprint
0:11:14 > 0:11:16even after we've gone.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Lordy!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Willow is grown on the Somerset levels.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24After harvesting, the rods are stripped ready for weaving.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29This was actually done one rod at a time up until the mid 1920s,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33usually by the women and children in a break like this one here.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35If you'd just like to stand back a bit.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41That will take the bark off.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- That's what was called stripping the willow.- Yes.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50There's one job still very much done by hand, and that's weaving.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54One of the company's most skilled basket makers is Mary Nash.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00- That looks quite complicated. - No, it's quite simple, really.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- How many of these do you make a day, Mary?- On average about three.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09This is a round sewing basket but it can be used for whatever anybody wants to use it for.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Would you like to have a go? Finish this off?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14You can be my teacher, Mary.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- So I go over the top.- Over the top.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19I've got it!
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Got it.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I'm getting into a wee rhythm now.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Right. There?- That's it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I'll speed up now.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- In there.- That's it. You've got it.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34I've got it. Yours is beautiful, but mine's a bit scraggly.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- No, it's fine.- How long have you been doing it?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- 54 years.- 54 years? - I started when I was 18.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Are you the best in the world at it? - Yes!
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I've got to say that, haven't I?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48From the best in the world...
0:12:48 > 0:12:50to David Harper! Ha!
0:12:50 > 0:12:54He's got his mitts on another possibility in Sherborne.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59A Victorian needle-point teapot or kettle stand from 1870.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01It's tagged at £55.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03That should just pop out.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Look at that border. - Lovely, isn't it?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11If somebody really wanted to, they could replace that.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16- But you wouldn't want to do that, would you?- It would be a shame. - It would.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- That could probably be 30, I should think.- Really?
0:13:19 > 0:13:24- Oh, dear, you're such a hard woman, Fran!- I'm a tough person to deal with.- You are.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- You are very nice, though. - Thank you.- Very nice.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Just not THAT nice. - No! Not that nice!
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Ooh, he's cheeky, that David.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39He's also interested in the bottle holder which Fran offered at £30.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43But now, of course, he wants both items cheapy-cheap.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46How about 30 quid for those two items?
0:13:46 > 0:13:50- I can't do it.- Really?- I'm so sorry. If I could, I would.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- But I can't.- You can't. - I can't.- Really?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- I really...- 35 for the two?
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- I really...- I almost got you. You almost said yes.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01You almost said yes. I can sense it.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Go on, 35 for the two.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- No.- Oh.- I can do 40 for the two.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11And I think you've got an absolute bargain there.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- You're so lovely, I'll have to say yes to 40.- Thank you.- For the two items. Thank you.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Anita's re-hit the Sherborne shopping trail
0:14:20 > 0:14:23and is in the capable hands of arm-wrestler Piers Pisani
0:14:23 > 0:14:25who sold David the table.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29He's leading her to something that might just pack a punch!
0:14:29 > 0:14:34I use them primarily for decoration. They don't have a price ticket.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39- But if you would like them, they'd be...- Don't tell me.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Let me look at them first. It's not a sport I did at school.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- Neither did I. - What sort of period would they be?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I reckon they're early 20th century.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Boxing gloves were first invented in 1743
0:14:53 > 0:14:57by English prize fighter Jack Broughton.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59He called them mufflers
0:14:59 > 0:15:03and modelled them on Ancient Greek fighting gauntlets called cestus.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Do you think I could whack David Harper with them?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I'm not offering my chin to practise!
0:15:09 > 0:15:13I feel as though I should be bandaging your hands
0:15:13 > 0:15:17and talking to you, saying, "Come on! You can do it!"
0:15:17 > 0:15:19You can do it.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23What I like is the fun of buying a pair of boxing gloves
0:15:23 > 0:15:28to fight my way back to the top!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Could I buy these for £20?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33No. They should be £80 the pair.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Could you come to 40 with me? - Come on. 45.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I think.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Oh, 40, cos you look at me so sweetly.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Ah!
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Thank you!
0:15:44 > 0:15:49I think we'll have great fun with them and I kind of love them to bits.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Slogger Manning!
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Sherborne has spelt success for both Anita and David.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Time to skip town.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59This is the bit I like!
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Antiques in the boot, a beautiful woman, a classic car.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05No, she's coming later. About three o'clock!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Get on with it!
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Right.- Onwards!- Come on, lady.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16They're motoring from Sherborne to Ilchester,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18just ten miles north.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20David will continue shopping here,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22while Anita heads further afield.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24There you go, madam!
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Can I assist in any way? - Watch it, Harper!
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Go on, then!- I'm not going with the handbrake!
0:16:31 > 0:16:36- The handbrake is off.- Go!- I'm going to watch you go! Go on!
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I'll have a good laugh! Go on!
0:16:38 > 0:16:43That's it, Anita. Straighten up now, sweetie. There you go.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Oh, my Lord!
0:16:45 > 0:16:51She's driving five miles on from Ilchester to the town of Somerton.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54That is a lot of nonsense we have.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57He just wants to drive all the time.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59He doesn't like being a passenger.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01He likes to be in control all the time.
0:17:01 > 0:17:07Sherborne was lovely, but I may have a better chance of a bargain
0:17:07 > 0:17:09in a smaller village.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Let's hope so, anyway!
0:17:13 > 0:17:19With an infectious old-world charm, Somerton is an ancient Saxon town in Somerset.
0:17:19 > 0:17:25It sits on the River Cary and boasts some cracking 15th-century churches
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and a mix of good country pubs.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Anita's making her way round an antiques centre where 30 dealers
0:17:31 > 0:17:33showcase their wares.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38I'm going to try not to buy something because it's amusing.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41What, like boxing gloves?
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Anita soon spies something decorative at £38.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49There's quite a sweet little spinning chair here.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51It would have been used. It was a functional item.
0:17:51 > 0:17:57But it's been decorated and that makes it so much nicer.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Someone's loved it.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01It is probably turn of the century.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06There is a wee, wee hint of Art Nouveau about it,
0:18:06 > 0:18:11The decoration is nice. It's pen work. And it adds to the charm of it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16David, I was looking at this wee spinning chair here.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21Am I able to buy that for £15?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24I think you're wanting to give me £18 for it?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Will you do it at £18?- I will.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29It's a deal!
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Up the road in Ilchester,
0:18:31 > 0:18:36David's spotted a late 19th-century Chinese picture frame for £50.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39It's another chance to do what he loves best.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Haggling for a knock-down price!
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Ah, yes. Couldn't be 21, could it?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46It can't be 20.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Sure?- I'm sure, yes!
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- £40 is the absolute...- OK.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Let's see what else there is.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Roy Gilbert specialises in furniture,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01so most items are on the big and pricey side.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05But he does have another piece that might tempt David.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09George III oak hall chair.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- OK.- Good colour. Good patination.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- Yep. Nice shield at the back.- Yeah.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Wonderful shape at the front. Very Georgian.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- What date do you put on it?- 1800?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Slightly before.- 1770.
0:19:23 > 0:19:29- 1770 to 1800.- What do you call that oak? Quarter-cut oak?- Yeah.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33The quarter cut is when you get that fossilised grain.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36But they cut it at a certain angle to get that fossilised finish.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40It's the most expensive way to cut oak, but it's worthwhile.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44They put it on the seat and it's a piece of art, isn't it?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- My very best has got to be £60. - Yeah.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52Well, it's not a fortune, but, um...
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Would I be very cruel if I said to you, "How about this?"
0:19:56 > 0:20:00The Chinese picture frame and the Georgian chair,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- 50 quid the pair?- No!
0:20:02 > 0:20:03No, definitely not! No!
0:20:03 > 0:20:08OK, Roy, I'm trying my best here.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I don't know what else I can do. Do you want blood?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Money would be better!
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I'd prefer that.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18What would be the absolute death
0:20:18 > 0:20:20on the picture frame?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Would 20...- No, 25.
0:20:22 > 0:20:2425.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27And the Georgian chair?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- It's got to be £60.- You're a hard man. You're sticking there.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I'm trying to help!
0:20:32 > 0:20:3470 for the pair.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40- 70 for the pair? No!- I had you for two seconds. You were going to say yes.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I was adding up! It takes me ages!
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- I'll do the two for £80. - We're almost there, Roy.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- We are there. - There, or almost there?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52We're definitely there.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54You're absolutely right.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Thank you very much. Cracking buys.
0:20:57 > 0:21:04In Somerton, Anita's head has been turned by two watercolours from 1896,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06priced at £40 each.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I was looking at this pair here.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Do you know anything about the artist?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14No, I don't, no. I imagine a good amateur.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Where are these scenes of?
0:21:16 > 0:21:21- They strike me as a London scene. - A London scene?- That's St Paul's in the background.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I think this is Fleet Street. There's the News of the World office.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- Right. OK. Maybe it's just made up. - Yeah.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32What about the two of them for £50?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- I think that's still too much. - Is it?- Mmm.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Am I able to buy these for £30?
0:21:42 > 0:21:47- For the pair?- No, the very best I could do is 40 for the pair.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52- The best you could do?- Half price. - Could you consider coming down a wee bit?
0:21:52 > 0:21:57Could you consider coming down maybe to 35?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Go on, then. You're a hard woman!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- I'm sorry! Thank you very much. - You're welcome.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07So, with cash thrown at all sorts of goodies,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10let's sign off for the day. Rest well, me pretties!
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Another day. Another chance to spend, spend, spend.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23Before that, our two experts are enjoying a bit of country scenery.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Look at those lovely cows. They're gorgeous.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- They're Friesian. - What, they're cold?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Actually, Anita, they're Belted Galloways!
0:22:37 > 0:22:43So far, David's gone large, forking out £240 on five items.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47That leaves him with a purse of £211.06.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Thanks very much. Cracking buys.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54While Anita bought just four items at £133,
0:22:54 > 0:22:58giving her a pot of £120.51 to play with.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Lovely. Thank you very much. Smashing.
0:23:03 > 0:23:09With five lots already bought, David has left Anita and shopping behind.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14He's stopping off in Montacute, 11 miles from Somerton.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17David's taking a very special trip down Memory Lane
0:23:17 > 0:23:21to Montacute TV, Radio and Toy Museum.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Ah, you must be Alan. - And you must be David.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- I am David Harper. Good to meet you. - And you!
0:23:28 > 0:23:34For the last 20 years, curator Alan Hicken has collected anything and everything
0:23:34 > 0:23:38to do with our best-loved TV and radio shows,
0:23:38 > 0:23:42including Doctor Who, The Wombles and Dad's Army.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46This is one of my favourite items.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51This is an original puppet from the series Hank the Cowboy.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56- I recognise him. That dates to when, the '50s?- The '50s. 1950s.- Gosh.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- That's quite rare.- Very rare. Well, it's unique.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- That's one of the original puppets from the series.- No.
0:24:03 > 0:24:09The opening credits used to run down and he'd be bobbing up and down.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14- There's a little handle here, if I just show you.- Does it work?
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Oh, he's off.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18He's galloping now.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20He wouldn't win the Grand National!
0:24:21 > 0:24:24He's having a good go, though!
0:24:26 > 0:24:33Like the antiques business, there's quite a bit of money to be made out of collectables like these.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Alan has looked out a couple of toys that are worth a few bob.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39What have we here, then?
0:24:39 > 0:24:44- Can I handle?- Yeah, carry on, David. - The Avengers.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Yeah.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Oh, gosh, we've got the Lotus Elan.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- Yes.- And a cracking vintage Bentley.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- It is.- Two wonderful cars.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Date-wise, this will be what? - '67, will it be?- '67.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Now, you've got the box. Late '60s.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06What's this worth, then?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Between 400 and £500.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Even in used condition?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13- Even in used condition. - And if it was absolutely mint?
0:25:13 > 0:25:14700. 750.
0:25:14 > 0:25:20This collection is probably the largest of its kind in the UK.
0:25:20 > 0:25:26Although Alan hasn't counted every item, it's running into the thousands.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30For those of you who don't remember programmes like Z Cars or The Sweeney,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33you might remember this.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- The A Team!- The A Team!
0:25:36 > 0:25:40That armoured car, in a box, how much would that be worth?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- A couple of hundred quid. - Couple of hundred.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47For a plastic toy that kids were chucking away 20 years ago!
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Amazing, isn't it?- It is.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52You've got one cracking collection here, Alan!
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- I love it when a plan comes together!- Do you?
0:25:58 > 0:26:04Before Show and Tell time, Anita's keen to grab another profit-making lot for the auction.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10She's arrived in Hele in Devon, 40 miles from Somerton.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14This is a pleasure indeed to meet you.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18I can't believe it. This place is absolutely astonishing!
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Makes you look petite, Anita!
0:26:20 > 0:26:24There's 45,000 square feet of aged goodies to absorb,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27including decorative items and collectables.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32But despite the myriad choices, Anita still comes up trumps.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36She's sniffed out a beautifully decorated notebook from the early 20th century.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41That's an old writing pad. Lovely design on the front.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- It's in good condition inside.- Yeah.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- Makes you wonder who owned it and everything.- I know.
0:26:47 > 0:26:53- What sort of price is that, Chris? - Well, it's got 25 quid on it.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57So I can do that for 22. £22.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- 22?- Mmm.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I like it
0:27:01 > 0:27:06but I don't think I could make a profit on that at auction. What do you think?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09You should get well over 20 for that. 25?
0:27:09 > 0:27:14- Tell you what....- It's a general sale that I'm putting it into.
0:27:14 > 0:27:1615 quid.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- £15.- It cost me 12, so don't hit me any more!- Cost you 12?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Yeah.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Chris, would you take 12 for it?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Nasty!- Would you take 12 for it?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- All right.- Would you? - Yeah, I'll give in easy!
0:27:32 > 0:27:33You are a darling!
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Thank you very much, Chris.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Round Four has included arm wrestling and boxing
0:27:42 > 0:27:44in the battle to buy bargains.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Now David and Anita go up against each other in a different arena.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Time to show off those wares!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Show me your first item. - This is the first item.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57You might know it is a table!
0:27:57 > 0:28:01George II. Circa 1730, 1750.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Tell me how much you paid for it. - 120.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09- Oh, that's for nothing!- Do you think so?- That is for nothing!
0:28:09 > 0:28:14- I thought this was a lovely little bowl.- What sort of money?
0:28:14 > 0:28:15- I paid £40 for it.- OK.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20- I'd have been happier if I'd got it between 20 and 30.- Yes.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25- But, David, I couldn't resist it. - Good girl.- I just went with it. - Good girl.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- I love it.- £40. I might make a couple of quid on it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30It's a funny one, this one.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34It's got to be a bottle stand of some sort, hasn't it?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Quite possibly, David. Quite possibly.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- How much did you pay for that? - Get to the nitty-gritty.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42£20.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45If I brought that to your sale room, what estimate would you put on that?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48I'd probably put it with a lot of other junk!
0:28:48 > 0:28:51You horror! You're an absolute horror!
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Now for David's teapot stand.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58It's circa 1870. Certainly Victorian.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- 20 quid.- How did you get that for £20?
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- Anita, it's called... - Did that woman fancy you?
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Anita's £35 watercolours are next.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11There is some capability in the work.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15They've got good colour and I love the carriages and people.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18It's a snapshot of that time.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- And you've got a pair.- A pair. - A pair is always better than a single.
0:29:21 > 0:29:27We've got a late 19th-century Chinese hardwood triple picture frame
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- with that architectural design here. - How much did you pay for that?
0:29:31 > 0:29:33The magical figure, £20.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- It was a £20...- A £20 winner!
0:29:37 > 0:29:42- It can't be bad!- I have to admit, David, that it might be a winner at £20.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47I bought this little spinning chair
0:29:47 > 0:29:52and I rather fancied that it was made by a young husband for his wife
0:29:52 > 0:29:55because I love this heart-shaped cut-out here.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59And I love this decoration.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04- It's a good decorator. It could be used anywhere.- I paid £18 for it.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08It's George III. Circa 1800.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Oak hall chair.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12I paid £60 for that.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15In my mind I was thinking, "If he's got it for £80, he's got it cheap."
0:30:15 > 0:30:19It's a little notebook.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- It has some decoration on the back. - It's lovely.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25That, for me, is my favourite piece.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- Do you like...- I like it more than the chair.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29- How much did you pay?- £12.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- Really?- Uh-huh.- That's an absolute bargain.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Are you ready, David?
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Do these knock you out?
0:30:38 > 0:30:39Excellent!
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Brilliant! We need one of those each!
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Now, why on earth did you buy these?
0:30:48 > 0:30:54When I came out, I thought, "Why did I buy them? And why did I pay £40 for them?"
0:30:54 > 0:30:58- £40?!- I know. Let's put them back! - Please!
0:30:58 > 0:31:01They're definitely interesting items,
0:31:01 > 0:31:03but let's hear the real verdict.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07That horrible bottle thing. What was that?
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Was he throwing money away?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12That was a piece of rubbish!
0:31:12 > 0:31:17Anita's worst lot have got to be the boxing gloves. Got to be.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20I can't see any profit at all.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25So I'm hoping for a loss. Did I really say that? Yes, hoping for a loss.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Who's going to make the biggest profit?
0:31:28 > 0:31:32You never know until the hammer falls on the auction day.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38This leg of the journey has been a prize fight
0:31:38 > 0:31:41between Anita and David to get ahead in the competition.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45They've wheeled their way from Sherborne to Ilchester,
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Somerton and Hele.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Now they're en-route to Newton Abbot in Devon.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Here, our duo will square up to one another
0:31:57 > 0:31:59at the penultimate auction of the week.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01The gloves are off and knuckles are bared.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05Let's do it, Anita. Let's get professional.
0:32:10 > 0:32:16Newton Abbot is in south Devon. It nestles the River Teign
0:32:16 > 0:32:19and the awe-inspiring Dartmoor National Park.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Steady!
0:32:23 > 0:32:29In 1688, William of Orange read his first declaration on English soil here
0:32:29 > 0:32:32as he made his way to London to assume the throne.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Nowadays, the town is more famous for its annual cheese and onion fair.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37Mmm!
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Anita and David are stopping off at S.J.Hales Auctioneers.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Today is a general sale where glass, bronze and silver items do well
0:32:45 > 0:32:48but ceramics are most popular here.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Mark Hales is the man with the gavel
0:32:51 > 0:32:54and he's very keen on Anita's Edwardian baby plate.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59If you go back ten years, 150 to £200, the American market. Everybody would jump on it.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02In the ceramic world, it's a rare item.
0:33:02 > 0:33:08It should really fetch 60 to £70, but that won't necessarily happen today.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13On this leg of the journey, our experts have bought five lots each.
0:33:13 > 0:33:19David has splashed £240 on the George II table,
0:33:19 > 0:33:22the bottle stand, the teapot stand,
0:33:22 > 0:33:26the George III hall chair and the Chinese picture frame.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Anita has spent £145 on the baby plate,
0:33:30 > 0:33:34boxing gloves, the spinning chair,
0:33:34 > 0:33:39the two watercolours and the Art Nouveau notebook holder.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Time to begin. It's Anita who's up first.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- First it's your boxing gloves. - Boxing gloves.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47My best item!
0:33:47 > 0:33:52Can these wipe the smile off David Harper's face? Bang!
0:33:52 > 0:33:55In superb condition. They don't come along every day.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58£20, please. Come along. Bid £20.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59Any interest at 20?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Ten, then? £10?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- I'm asking for £10.- Please!
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- Please!- Ten I'm bid. Thank you.- Yes!
0:34:06 > 0:34:08With the lady at the back at ten.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- 12 anywhere? 12 I'm bid. 14, madam? - Yes!
0:34:12 > 0:34:1416. 18?
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- Are you sure? They might come in handy!- OK, then.
0:34:18 > 0:34:2018 at the back. Thank you, madam.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- Ridiculous!- With the lady at £18.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- 20 in front, sir? They're not expensive.- No!
0:34:25 > 0:34:29With the lady at the back, then, at £18.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- Thank you.- Hooray! - It should have been a quid.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34I wouldn't be celebrating, Anita.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37That's a disappointing loss!
0:34:37 > 0:34:40I've just realised you've lost money. Brilliant!
0:34:40 > 0:34:44David's George III hall chair takes the stage.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Start me at £30, please.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48£30.
0:34:48 > 0:34:5030 I'm bid. 32. 34?
0:34:50 > 0:34:5236. 38?
0:34:52 > 0:34:5538 on my right. 40 anywhere?
0:34:55 > 0:35:00- On my right at £38. It deserves to make more.- There's one!
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Thank you, madam.- Thank God for that!- 40. 42.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- 45.- Go on!- 48.
0:35:05 > 0:35:0750. It's still cheap.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10No? I'll make it up to you later!
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Are you sure? 50 in the room. 52.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- Go on!- 55? No?
0:35:15 > 0:35:18On my right, then, at £52.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- Thank you, sir.- Don't believe it.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24I just can't believe it.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26That is unfortunate.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28It should have made a profit.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31I find that really devastating.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33You're going to burst into tears.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37I don't think so! Now the auctioneer's favourite.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Anita's rare Edwardian plate.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43I haven't seen one of these for over 20 years.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Start me at £20, please. £20 I'm bid.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Thank you. 22, sir?
0:35:49 > 0:35:5325. 28. 30. 32. 35.
0:35:53 > 0:35:5638. 40. 42.
0:35:56 > 0:35:5945. 48.
0:35:59 > 0:36:0050. 52.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- 55.- Yes!
0:36:03 > 0:36:05It's still very cheap. 58.
0:36:05 > 0:36:0760? No?
0:36:07 > 0:36:09With the gentleman standing at £58.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14Are you sure, madam? With the gentleman, then at 58. 60, sir. Thank you.
0:36:14 > 0:36:1662? No?
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Sure? On my left at £60.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Thank you.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- 60. Yes!- Well bought, Anita.
0:36:22 > 0:36:27Well done, Anita. Permission to feel as smug as the chap on the plate!
0:36:27 > 0:36:30I think I'm pleased for you!
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Now for David's Victorian teapot stand.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Blink and this will be back to what it was ten years ago
0:36:38 > 0:36:40which was 80 to 120.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42I'm asking for £20.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Don't make me beg!
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Go on. This is terrible, Anita! Terrible!
0:36:47 > 0:36:50I'm asking for 20 and I get 15.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54With the lady in the front row at 15. I'm selling.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- No, you're not!- I'm selling at £15.
0:36:56 > 0:36:5918. 20. 22.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Still for nothing. 24. 26, sir.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07- 28? No? On my left at 26. - Come on! I need more than that!
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Extremely reasonable.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12On my left, then, at £26.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- Thank you, sir.- It's still profit.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Tiny. A pound or two.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20It's a profit, but nowhere near the size David's used to,
0:37:20 > 0:37:22putting him right out of his comfort zone.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Be happy!- I'm not happy. I refuse to be happy.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30Anita's Art Nouveau notebook holder makes an entrance.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32It's a blooming beauty!
0:37:32 > 0:37:3420 I'm bid. 22 anywhere?
0:37:34 > 0:37:3624.
0:37:36 > 0:37:3926. 28. 30. 32.
0:37:39 > 0:37:4034? No?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43In the room at £32.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Not bad. Not bad.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- Not bad.- Good. It deserved it.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51Yes, it did give Anita a much-needed gain.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52That was a good thing.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- That was my favourite item of yours. - Yeah.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59David's Chinese picture frame is up next.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Start me at £20, please.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04£20 I'm bid. Thank you. 22 anywhere?
0:38:04 > 0:38:0622. 24?
0:38:06 > 0:38:0826. 28?
0:38:08 > 0:38:1028 in the middle. 30?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13No? In the middle at 28.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15This is not expensive, ladies and gentlemen.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18It's very decorative. 30. Thank you. 32?
0:38:18 > 0:38:1934. 36.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- Come on.- 38. 40? No? Are you sure?
0:38:23 > 0:38:24- Come on!- It's worth having.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Very pretty. No?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29On my left, then, at £38.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Yes.- That's good. Well done.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- Are you happy now?- No.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36I'm feeling happier.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38He's never happy!
0:38:38 > 0:38:41No, Anita, he's not.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Come on, David. Buck up!
0:38:43 > 0:38:45I'm feeling better, Anita.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49It's Anita's romantically designed spinning chair.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Will it woo the bidders?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53In superb condition.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56£30. Start me at 30. I'm below estimate.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Don't be silly. £30?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Absolutely ludicrous!
0:39:02 > 0:39:04No? £30. Come on!
0:39:04 > 0:39:06£20. 20 I'm bid. On my left.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Very cheeky bid. 22.
0:39:09 > 0:39:1124. 26, madam.
0:39:11 > 0:39:1428? 26 with the lady standing.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17She's buying it. 28. This is for nothing!
0:39:17 > 0:39:1930. 32.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22I should think so, too. 35.
0:39:22 > 0:39:2438. You were teasing me earlier!
0:39:24 > 0:39:2735 here. 38 at the back.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- Come on!- We're selling.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Selling then at the back at £38.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37- Yes!- A profit again. You are doing it, baby. Another 20!
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Anita's profits are creeping up.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Watch out, David!
0:39:42 > 0:39:43I'm on next.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Yes, it's that bottle stand.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51Anita hated it, but it could go either way.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53£30 anywhere?
0:39:53 > 0:39:54£30?
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Start me at 30. Nobody want this at £30? Shame on you!
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- £30 anywhere?- Go on! - 20.- Don't make me beg.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- 20?!- That hurt, madam.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- It hurt me!- That hurt, but I'll take it. £20 in the room.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09It's selling at 20. 22.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1124. 26.
0:40:11 > 0:40:1228.
0:40:12 > 0:40:1430? No?
0:40:14 > 0:40:17In the room at 28. This is ludicrously priced.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20It's selling at a mere £28.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25- Thank you.- Well done. It's a great buy, that. Well done.
0:40:25 > 0:40:30But Anita's not convinced despite the fact that it's made money.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32That's for buying a lot of junk!
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Time for David's George III table.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Start me at £60, please.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Nice to know. £60, anywhere?
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Any interest? 60 I'm bid. Five. 70, sir?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Five. 80? And five. 90?
0:40:47 > 0:40:50And five. 100, sir? 100 in the room.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54110, anywhere? It's selling at this moment at £100.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- 110?- Go on!- No?
0:40:56 > 0:40:58In the room, then. £100.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01With the gentleman standing at £100.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- Can't believe it.- Oh.
0:41:03 > 0:41:09A bad loss for David, but wait till he hears what the chap who bought it has to say!
0:41:09 > 0:41:11I was happy to go to 200.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Oh, don't tell me!
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Did you hear that?
0:41:15 > 0:41:19Yes, I did. He would have paid £200 for that table
0:41:19 > 0:41:21but he didn't have to.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25There's just one lot to go.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Anita's watercolours.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30They really are terribly underestimated, in my opinion.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Start me at £40, please for good pictures. Thank you. 42.
0:41:34 > 0:41:3645. 48. 50.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38And five. 60? 60 in the room.
0:41:38 > 0:41:4065. Yes?
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Thank you. 65. 70.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44And five. 80. And five.
0:41:44 > 0:41:4690? No?
0:41:46 > 0:41:49With me, then, at £85.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- Yes!- Well done.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Oh, dear! David isn't used to getting a thrashing.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- I'm happy.- Are you?
0:41:58 > 0:42:00I'm really happy.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08After paying the auction costs,
0:42:08 > 0:42:13David Harper has made his first ever overall loss on the Road Trip.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15He's dropped £39,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17leaving him with £412.06.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24Anita Manning is the winner of the fourth leg of the competition.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28After paying commission, she's made a profit of £46.94,
0:42:28 > 0:42:32giving her a plump £300.45.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Nevertheless, there's still a long way to go to beat David.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38But she can worry about that later.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Enjoy the glory, Anita!
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- Get me out of here.- David, that was great fun.- Wonderful(!)
0:42:43 > 0:42:48Great(!) Shall I take you for a victory drive around the countryside?
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- Shall I?- Yes, my man.- Come on, then.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Take me some place nice.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55- Somewhere pretty in Devon.- Yes.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Off we go, baby.
0:42:57 > 0:43:03Next time, David and Anita go all out to get the ladies of Devon onside...
0:43:03 > 0:43:05It's girl power!
0:43:05 > 0:43:08..as the competition between them reaches its finale.
0:43:08 > 0:43:13- I'm almost on my hands and knees! Would it help?- It may do, yes!
0:43:13 > 0:43:16It may well do. I am married, however!
0:43:16 > 0:43:20And who will be crowned our absolute champion?
0:43:21 > 0:43:23It all ends here in Devon,
0:43:23 > 0:43:26the final stop in our Antiques Road Trip.
