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 > 0:00:13- Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?- Go and make a profit!
0:00:13 > 0:00:16The aim is trade up and hope each antique turns a profit.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20But it's as easy as it sounds and there can only be one winner.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Oh, that feels so much 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 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- Tissues at the ready... - HE SOBS
0:00:39 > 0:00:44..as it's our final show of the week and, sadly, this fine series.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Our experts from the previous, wonderful six weeks
0:00:48 > 0:00:53will be meeting up later to share their experiences of life on the road.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57# Looking back on the track for a little greenback. #
0:00:57 > 0:00:59But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05All this week we've been out on the road with our final pair
0:01:05 > 0:01:08of plucky antiques experts, Anita Manning and David Harper.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14The first one in gets to drive. You're too slow in the morning,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17I dash out like a racing driver from the 1950s.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- I know different strokes for different folks.- Completely.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25Glasgow's finest, Anita Manning is a successful auctioneer
0:01:25 > 0:01:29who can push for a great deal, but she knows when to call it a day.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34He said, "I think we should end this conversation now."
0:01:34 > 0:01:39Mighty David Harper is a no-nonsense antiques dealer
0:01:39 > 0:01:43with the prestigious rank of current, reigning Road Trip champion.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47But he won't rest on his laurels.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Might as well go home now. Done everything I need to do.
0:01:50 > 0:01:57Anita and David started the week with £200 each and it's been uphill all the way.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02Anita's fought hard for any semblance of a discount.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Every pound counts.- I know it does!
0:02:04 > 0:02:09So from her original £200, Anita has flourished
0:02:09 > 0:02:14to a blooming £300.45 to begin her last journey.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18That's wonderful.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23David's been pushing for tough trade prices all the way
0:02:23 > 0:02:25and really impressed some dealers.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- You're so charming - Oh, stop it, please.
0:02:28 > 0:02:34So his £200 has multiplied to a rather healthy £412.06.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39No rules for me, baby.
0:02:39 > 0:02:46Both from northern lands, Anita and David have revelled in the warmth of England's south coast.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- The sun is shining, so the omens are with us.- Are you going to blow all your money?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- I might.- You might?- I might.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00Travelling east to west, this week's road trip is from Dover in Kent to Bideford in Devon.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04And on today's show our experts are leaving Newton Abbot
0:03:04 > 0:03:07following a mythical crock of gold.
0:03:07 > 0:03:14First stop of the day is Ashburton in the Dartmoor National Park.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16So it's all to play for now.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17- All to play for. - I like it, I like it.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Is that bringing out your competitiveness?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23It was too easy before.
0:03:23 > 0:03:29Ashburton grew its wealth from Dartmoor's tin mines between the 12 and 16th centuries.
0:03:29 > 0:03:36And the town was briefly famous for its Ashburton Pop, a beverage, being a variation on champagne.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41But the recipe sadly died with its inventor-brewer in 1765.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45They've got the bunting out for us!
0:03:45 > 0:03:50You go in that one as you nearest it and there's some lovely furniture in there, David.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55You see the nice ladies and tell them that I going to come and see them later.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59So it's straight to the shops for our experts, and straight down to business.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Anita heads for The Shambles, run by four lovely local ladies.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Oh, what a lovely feel this shop has.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11My eye's being drawn everywhere.
0:04:14 > 0:04:22The situation is this is our last leg. David Harper has been in the lead from the beginning.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Right, girl power, come on.
0:04:24 > 0:04:30So what I'm looking for is something which is lovely for nothing.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I mean, my eye is drawn to that wee stained wood tray.
0:04:34 > 0:04:40It could be a doll's thing, or it could be for somebody that likes a wee drink.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Indeed, a wee dram.- A wee dram!
0:04:44 > 0:04:49This circular inlay indicates a Thomas Sheraton design,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52one of the big three 18th-century English furniture makers
0:04:52 > 0:04:57alongside George Hepplewhite and Thomas Chippendale.
0:04:57 > 0:05:03This cute little galleried tray dates from the 20th century and is priced at £20,
0:05:03 > 0:05:07but I think some adjustment might be made to that great expectation.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- I quite like that, Carol. Who belongs to that?- My friend Pat.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12It is sweet.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16I like this. It's not a fine thing, but it's a wee quirky thing
0:05:16 > 0:05:19and what you can do is throw me out that door when I make an offer!
0:05:21 > 0:05:25I would like to be buying it for £5.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Ready, steady...
0:05:29 > 0:05:35No? Looks like she's not been thrown out...yet!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Was that sore?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Was that really, really painful?
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Let me hold you up.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44£5. What about 10?
0:05:44 > 0:05:49£10. I mean it's certainly worth what you're asking for it. Could we come in the middle at eight?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52You're very persuasive.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Eight to you, Anita, yes.
0:05:55 > 0:06:01Pat, thank you very, very much. That's marvellous. It's girl power, isn't it?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Indeed it is.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Anita got what she really, really wants!
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Time for David to spice up his life, maybe.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Hi there, I'm David.- Dani.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Dani, can you help me? - I'll certainly try.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19It's a sweet thing and it's a tea caddy, I suppose.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24Probably would have had metal canisters or even pottery canisters.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I've got to say I love tea caddies.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Tea might be characteristically English,
0:06:29 > 0:06:33but this caddy is 19th-century, Italian Sorrento ware,
0:06:33 > 0:06:38deriving funnily enough from the Italian town of Sorrento,
0:06:38 > 0:06:42famous for its fine, inlaid woods.
0:06:42 > 0:06:48And usually sold to Victorian tourists doing their Grand Tour bit.
0:06:48 > 0:06:54The asking price here is £50, but surely no-one would expect David Harper to pay that.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59£50. What about ten?
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- Definitely not.- No.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I would like that for 15.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07So you said 20.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- No.- Are you sure?
0:07:09 > 0:07:1615. I'm almost on my hands and knees.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Would it help?- It may well do.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21It may well do, you never know. I am married, however.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I don't care, he's not here.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28OK, we'll try and get it down to about 30.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Oh! It's my last auction of my last journey.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Have we got it?- Go on.
0:07:34 > 0:07:3715. You are an absolute angel.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I think you need to leave now!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Quite right, Dani! It's not that sort of show.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47About time someone kicked the old hard-haggle-Harper out!
0:07:47 > 0:07:51What I've got is a wee Victorian propelling pencil.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56These are quite collectible and you've got a nice bit of polished agate there.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01I would prefer it if it was gold, but I still like these things.
0:08:02 > 0:08:09Along with his co-inventor, British silversmith Sampson Mordan patented the propelling pencil in 1822.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15And this fine contraption is also a dip pen with retractable nib.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Carol...
0:08:17 > 0:08:21I quite like this wee propelling pencil and I believe it's yours.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23There's no price on that.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26We would be looking in the region of 38.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Can you take this at 10?
0:08:28 > 0:08:34My best - and I'm feeling very generous - 20.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Can you come down to 15 on it?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- I want you to win. 17.- 17?
0:08:40 > 0:08:44And really I'm giving it away.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46That sounds like rock bottom to me.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Or do you think Anita might just keep pushing?
0:08:50 > 0:08:56Will you come to 15 on it?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Go on.- Go on, shall we do 15?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- I'm feeling generous.- That's great. Shall we shake on that?
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Of course, rock bottom is a relative concept.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Especially when Anita's in town!
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Thank you very much, Carol, it's been a pleasure.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Ladies, your shop is wonderful.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Bye-bye, ladies.- Bye-bye!
0:09:14 > 0:09:22Cor, you'd think Anita had spent £2,300, not £23, by the way that lot all waved.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Meanwhile, our David Harper has found his way next door to a very handsome shop indeed
0:09:26 > 0:09:31and David is already busy looking and poking around,
0:09:31 > 0:09:36looking at the, um... Actually, where is David? David?
0:09:36 > 0:09:42- TOILET FLUSHING - Ah, he's coming out of the closet.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- The water closet.- Hello there.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Hi, I'm Mark Davis, nice to meet you.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50I've seen some oriental pieces there. That puzzle ball ivory.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54How on earth someone sat down, took one piece of ivory
0:09:54 > 0:09:57and carved those balls from the top. That is right, isn't it?
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Yes, it is.- There is no join there, the balls have been carved
0:10:01 > 0:10:06from the top down, so there might be seven or eight balls in there.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Chinese puzzle balls are amazing.
0:10:08 > 0:10:16Painstakingly carved in perfect layers, in this case from one solid lump of naughty ivory.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Dating pre the 1947 trade ban and protection of elephants, I'm glad to say.
0:10:20 > 0:10:26Popular in ancient Chinese homes, puzzle balls symbolised strong family unity.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29And, following the principles of feng shui,
0:10:29 > 0:10:34should be kept in the most south-western corner of the room for best effect.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41It's £175 and they can make astonishing sums of money.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- They can.- You don't think we could bag it for £75, do you?
0:10:44 > 0:10:49- If you want I'll go out the back and make a quick phone call for you. - £75?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Wow, it never hurts to ask, I suppose, but surely there are limits?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I can't actually get hold of him at the moment, David.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00He'll probably kill me for this, but if you want it for £75, let's do that.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Good man, I've made the bid, I got the deal. Thank you very much.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05No, great. Good luck with it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08David's clearly not worried about getting anyone into trouble.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12And proves once again that if you don't ask, you don't get!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Time to swap shops.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20This is a particularly nice paperweight and the label
0:11:20 > 0:11:25is telling me that it has a Cornish serpentine base,
0:11:25 > 0:11:30so I'm hoping that it will find a market in this area.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Hi, I was curious about this little paperweight
0:11:34 > 0:11:39and I thought that was a beautiful rocky outcrop.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Do you know where it is? - Well, from here I'm pretty sure it's Land's End.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46It's almost certainly Land's End.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I think that that is quite spectacular.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53I like the fact that it is a local West Country stone.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59I would be thinking in the region of 15 to 20. Am I near enough?
0:11:59 > 0:12:00It's actually my colleague's.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04He wants £35 for it, but £20 and I think you'll do well with it.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- £20, do you think so? - Yeah, I think so.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I'd be very surprised if it didn't make 50 or 60.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- Really?- Yeah, I think it will. - I'd be very happy if it did.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14I'd be very, very happy.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I think it will.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Well, I think we'll go for it at £20 and I'm delighted at that.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Well, the dealers are certainly making things easy for Anita today.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Perhaps she can catch David on this last leg.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Or perhaps he'll work his magic with the two remaining wavy ladies.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Have I caught you on a coffee break?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Oh, gosh, there's more round here.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42You enjoy your biscuits. My gosh, there's a woman round here as well.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Women everywhere - it's fantastic.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47That's a cute little thing, isn't it?
0:12:47 > 0:12:54I suppose it's a Japanese miniature table, I suppose.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- It's whatever you want it to be! - Exactly.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- What could that be? - I could probably do it for 12.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Let's think about that, let's move on a bit.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Let's have a look in here.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Hmm. So, OK, you've got...
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Single monogram. - It's got an A in there as well.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14It's a Birmingham piece.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Got to be 1926.
0:13:16 > 0:13:181926 it is.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Thank you very much.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Gilded on the interior with its original little strapping lacquer.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Tiny little cigarettes.- Yes, I know!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31That is why we say they're useful as card cases.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Perfect for card cases. I mean, could that be a dreadfully low price?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Probably not! But?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Could we say 15?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44No, 45.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- Seeing as it's you, I'd say 25.- 25? - There must be something in it for you there.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53I don't know, because cigarette cases, they can be used as card cases, but...
0:13:53 > 0:13:56It's the big but, isn't it?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I'll go halfway, then, and 20.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04It's not bad. You're doing quite well, but not brilliantly.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09What if I bought from you the little funny stand there
0:14:09 > 0:14:13and this and we said 25 the pair?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17We've got a deal there, haven't we?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Ok I'll say two items for 25.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Good girl. Wonderful. - You can sleep at night!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I'll sleep like a baby.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Of course! If David lost sleep over hard-haggling,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32he'd have permanent insomnia.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Hurtling into the ether,
0:14:37 > 0:14:42our road-trippers are heading 16 miles south-east from Ashburton
0:14:42 > 0:14:44to England's very own Torquay.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48What are your tactics?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50I'm not even going to tell you
0:14:50 > 0:14:54because you get this information out of me and then you manipulate the situation.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Oh, I wouldn't do that! - Oh, no, you wouldn't do that!
0:14:57 > 0:14:58With a big smile.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Torquay strangely owes its success to Napoleon Bonaparte.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07His domination of Europe in the early 19th century
0:15:07 > 0:15:11stopped Britain'supper classes hopping the Channel for their jolly holidays,
0:15:11 > 0:15:16building instead this Regency hotspot on the English south coast.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Sneaking in one last treat this week, David's en route
0:15:23 > 0:15:27to meet Torquay's forbears at local Torre Abbey.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Founded a wee while back in 1196, actually.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41This former monastery was purchased in 1662
0:15:41 > 0:15:43and become a vast, Gothic home.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Hello, you must be Dee.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Hi, David, welcome to Torre Abbey.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- Thank you, what a gorgeous day! - Yes, come inside.- Thank you.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Dee Martin is the Education Officer for Torre Abbey
0:15:55 > 0:16:00and gets the enviable task of being David Harper's tour guide today.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07I've brought you up onto the roof just to show you this extraordinary view.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10And originally in 1196, when Abbot Adam, the first Abbot,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14arrived to start building this abbey there was nothing here.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17So the whole of Torquay was really built up around
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- this very building, the Abbey itself? - Yes, absolutely.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25The British Napoleonic fleet used to anchor here and attack.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- What a sight that must've been... From this very spot?- Yes.
0:16:28 > 0:16:34Admiral Nelson's vast fleet was poised off the Torbay coast
0:16:34 > 0:16:37prior to the decisive battle of Waterloo in 1815.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Defeated and captured, Napoleon still managed
0:16:41 > 0:16:46to leave his mark on Torquay, somewhat indirectly.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- He was the hot tourist site of the day.- Absolutely.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Everyone used to row out in their rowing boats to see him
0:16:51 > 0:16:53striding around on the deck.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55This building is a layer cake of history.
0:16:55 > 0:17:01Torre Abbey's first delicious slice of history begins over 800 years ago.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05This room is the lay-brothers' refectory.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08This is where they would have eaten in this under croft
0:17:08 > 0:17:10and the food would have come from the kitchen's there.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Following the strict rules of St Augustine,
0:17:13 > 0:17:17a monk's life was penitent, plain and austere.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20And the food was a bit rubbish too!
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- It would have been pease pottage. - Pease pottage?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Pease pottage is a sort of evil thick stew, but it's no meat at all.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30They were allowed to eat fish on Fridays, but the rest was stew.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Down here you can still feel that this was a monastery,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36but as we go up the stairs, we lose the monastery.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37And we move into a country house.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Oh, show me that.- Sure.
0:17:39 > 0:17:45Above the refectory, Torre Abbey moves from austerity to decadence.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Following the dissolution of England's monasteries,
0:17:48 > 0:17:55Sir George Cary purchased the building in 1662 to create a family home.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59But his grandson, George Cary II,
0:17:59 > 0:18:03made the most significant alterations in the 1700s.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Then his nephew, another George Cary,
0:18:06 > 0:18:11refashioned the exterior in the Gothic Revival style of the late 18th century.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16Here welcoming in to the Carey's family dining room.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19It had been the Abbot's dining room.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21A very private, elite space.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Now hang on a moment,
0:18:22 > 0:18:26because this room looks very much like 1750 / 1770.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30This space is much earlier, we still have the original Norman walls. It had a face lift.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33This is absolutely mouth-watering.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37The period, the furniture, is absolutely delicious to me.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41And Dee has something extra special here for David's delight.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46I've got my very own antiques expert, so you tell me.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Sorry, is he coming shortly or...?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- Oh, is it me? - 'Oh, David. You modest one!'
0:18:52 > 0:18:57- What they would have done then, Dee, is had several shelves...- In here?
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Yes, in there, slide in shelves.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01They could have in there birds' eggs collections,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03they could have tortoise shells...
0:19:03 > 0:19:06What about fossils, they were big on fossils, weren't they?
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Very much big on fossils.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12Cabinets of curiosities have been popular since Renaissance times.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Essentially, pieces to display to illustrate how travelled
0:19:16 > 0:19:19and worldly the collector was.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21These cabinets were, in a way,
0:19:21 > 0:19:25precursors to museums and were filled with anything foreign,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28exotic or inexplicable from the time.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Is that a bigger surface be able to put your show off pieces on?- Yes.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Why has it got carrying handles? - It's for servants.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36It's very heavy.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40You would take it to where you were having your port and cigars to show off your collection.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Take it with you. A cabinet like that was only made bespokely
0:19:44 > 0:19:45for someone with a collection.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Now I've got £300 in my pocket, would that be temping?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51That doesn't even begin to tempt me. Sorry.
0:19:51 > 0:19:57Good old David, he never stops pushing for a knock-down bargain.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00He never rest. Unlike Anita!
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- Hello, you.- Hello. I'm just having a five-minute quiet gaze.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Well, do you mind me joining you? - No, not at all.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13- Let's go and have a nice, long, cool drink.- Shall we do that?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Let's go.- All right, I'll follow you then, have you got any money?
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Getting out of the right side of the bed,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28our experts are both up and up for it!
0:20:28 > 0:20:30If I see something meaty, I'm having it.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34You want to come back without a penny in your pocket?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I probably will!
0:20:36 > 0:20:39So far, Anita's spent £43 on three items.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43The miniature Sheraton-style tray,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47the Sampson Mordan propelling pen combo,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49and the Cornish Serpentine paperweight.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53She's got £257.45 left, but the clock is ticking.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03David had a great day and spent £115 on four items.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07The Sorrento tea caddy, the Chinese puzzle ball,
0:21:07 > 0:21:11the carved stool - or stand - and the cigarette case.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Or is it a card case?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18He's got £297.06 left to finish his week.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Hard astarboard!
0:21:25 > 0:21:28The Road Trip takes a pivotal turn north,
0:21:28 > 0:21:32taking this final week's experts 24 miles from Torquay
0:21:32 > 0:21:37to the handsome harbour village of Topsham, on the outskirts of Exeter.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40So you love the countryside, but could you live in it?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I like to look at it, but I don't like the beasties.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- The beasties? - I like a bit more comfort.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Topsham was once a major British port.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The handsome Georgian and Edwardian houses
0:21:54 > 0:21:57around the harbour are a testament to its glory days.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Have a nice time, darling.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01You too, sweet pea. Forward.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04David, do you think I've never driven before?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06THEY BOTH LAUGH
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Brilliant!
0:22:08 > 0:22:13- Morning.- Morning.- I'm David. - Hello. Simon.- Simon.
0:22:13 > 0:22:20With no time to waste, David is lead upstairs towards his beloved Georgian furniture.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Georgian deed box.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24It's going to date then to about 1770 / 1780.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29- Yeah.- This is made for a town house merchant, isn't it?
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Yeah, lovely thing, carrying handles. Superb.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Deed boxes were often metal rather than wood
0:22:34 > 0:22:39and always lockable for the storage and safe transportation
0:22:39 > 0:22:43of important papers, deeds and monies.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46However, any self-respecting highwayman
0:22:46 > 0:22:48would surely shoot the lock off. No?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Just a bit different, - So interesting, yeah.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Whilst David further indulges his great love,
0:22:53 > 0:22:57someone's got their eye firmly on the prize.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Time is running out for me.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05This is a big area and I don't have much time.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11That is a big chunk for £30.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15I'm sure that it doesn't have a great deal of age,
0:23:15 > 0:23:21but it is a functional item, and if I can get a bit off of that
0:23:21 > 0:23:25I think I might be able to make a profit on it.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Anita should be wary here.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Electrical antiques at auction are a prickly business
0:23:31 > 0:23:34and sellers can be heavily fined if items are not safe
0:23:34 > 0:23:35or properly labelled.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39All wiring and connections are normally removed
0:23:39 > 0:23:42to protect the buyer and the auction house.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Zzzzpt! Agh!
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Gordon, can we chat about this light fitting here?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Now we have £30 on it.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- We could do that one for 25.- For 25?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Could you possibly do it for 20?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01For 20 I MIGHT, I might have a wee chance.
0:24:01 > 0:24:07- This is my last leg, this is my last leg.- Especially for you.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Oh Gordon, thank you so much, Gordon. That's wonderful.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13I'm absolutely delighted.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15One more lump in Anita's arsenal.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20Will our experts make the most from their final shopping of the week?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- Hi, are you Val?.- Yes, I am.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Hi, I'm David. Nice to meet you. - And you.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- You're a dealer here?- I am. - Wonderful.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Wine coasters, to hold wine bottles, obviously.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33With a nice turned wooden base.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- Victorian, late 19th century.- Yes.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Nice grape decoration there. - It's really nice.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40And I think one is slightly bigger than the other,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43which is actually probably a very good thing
0:24:43 > 0:24:47because they're not massed produced machine-made items, I don't think.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- No.- How much could they be? Would £10 buy the pair?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Oh, yes, and then you'll go away, won't you, really?
0:24:53 > 0:24:57LAUGHS I've never been so hurt in my life!
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Quite right, Val.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02It's taken all week, but finally dealers are doing anything
0:25:02 > 0:25:05to get David Harper out of their shop.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Now, what will it take to make Anita hurry up?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11This is a sketching easel.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15I like this, it's not old, but there's a wee bit of woodworm there
0:25:15 > 0:25:17to indicate that there is some age.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25Gordon, I love easels and I really quite like the way
0:25:25 > 0:25:28that it has been used, we have splatters of paint.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Could have been a famous artist.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- Is that... Gauguin? - THEY LAUGH
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Um, £12 on that?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39The really best price is £10.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42The only thing that I was a wee bit worried about.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45A wee touch of woodworm, could you do it for eight?
0:25:45 > 0:25:50No, but I could put some woodworm stuff on it.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Could you do that?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Could it be done for eight?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55No, it's got to be ten.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00It's got to be ten. Right, let's go for the easel at £10.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Well, it's all done bar the shouting.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Anita and David have shopped their way east to west
0:26:07 > 0:26:12across the south on this final antiques adventure.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16And now is the hour, one last time,
0:26:16 > 0:26:20for both the showing and the telling.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24It little Victorian item, it's a propelling pen and pencil.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- What did you pay?- I paid £15 for it.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30I was going to say £20, that's absolutely... I mean, what a bargain.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- Let me show you my item. It originally was a tea caddy. - A tea caddy, of course.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Nice base, good colour.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- You've sold it to me David, how much?- £15.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42That's not bad either.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45My second buy is this little miniature tray.
0:26:45 > 0:26:51It would be used perhaps for, I don't know... for two.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55We could have a wonderful evening with this tray, two glasses, and one bottle.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- That's right. - I think it's really sweet.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- £8.- I mean, come on. For goodness sake!
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Tell me what you feel.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Oh, it little puzzle ball.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08It's Chinese, 19th century.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I love these things.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Anita, this is my star item. - It's the one that you hope will fly.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18Yes I do, I'm hoping it will make £200. I paid 75 for it.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19That's a very good buy.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24Now for Anita's Victorian paperweight, depicting a West Country coastline.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29It nice big chunky item in good condition. I got it for £20.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33That is a proper antique and it relates to where you're going, so a good buy.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- Next!- Right, cigarette case, silver 1926.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39I mean, I put my card in there
0:27:39 > 0:27:43because I think it's better off as a card case.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Oh, dear. David will try anything to prove this could be a card case.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52People don't smoke as much as they did before
0:27:52 > 0:27:57and also if they do smoke they don't smoke cigarettes that size.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Get your business cards, chop them. Get your cigarettes, chop them.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02£15 pounds it was a bargain, move on.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04You might get away with it.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08I liked it because it's a working easel, it has been used.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12I loved the fact that we had the drops of paint here.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Are you sure that's not bird droppings?- No that's paint.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- What did I pay for that? £10. - There you go.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21You know what is it? It's a child's stool, it's a miniature table,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23it's a stand for an oriental vase.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26It could be used for many, many things.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27It wee piece of nonsense, really.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30It wee piece of nonsense and we like a bit of nonsense.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- How much did you pay for it? - A tenner.- That's OK.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Next, Anita's monster light fitting.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38But will David like it?
0:28:38 > 0:28:42- Do you want me to be brutally honest? - OK, on you go.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46I absolutely love it. I love it.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49A little bit of wax and polish and some black paint on there.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52A rewire job, that in a nice country cottage
0:28:52 > 0:28:57in the Dales where I live, would look absolutely fantastic.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59- What did you pay?- I paid £20 for it.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01- Is that kind of all right? - It's fine.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06I thought silver-plated, but they're not just silver-plated, they're Sheffield plate.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Sheffield plate, good. How much?
0:29:09 > 0:29:10£10 for the pair?
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- £10?- Well, don't seem so pleased!
0:29:14 > 0:29:18£10? £10!
0:29:18 > 0:29:22The old Harper magic has emerged for the last buy.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Oh, listen to you. Honestly!
0:29:25 > 0:29:30- £10!- What do you feel? - I would pay £10 for that hole there!
0:29:30 > 0:29:31THEY LAUGH
0:29:31 > 0:29:35- I think you've done well, dear. - Thank you very much.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Come on, you two, tell us what you really think.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41When you get shivers up the back of your spine
0:29:41 > 0:29:45when you're handling a fine quality object, that's the buzz.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47And I didn't get any of that from Anita's items.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51David's so-called card case.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53It cigarette case.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Of course I want to win and as much as I adore Anita Manning,
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I want to beat her.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02For this final leg of the road trip,
0:30:02 > 0:30:05our two experts started off in Ashburton.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09They wheeled and dealt their way to Topsham via Torquay.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Today, they're heading for Bideford, for the auction.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17- The big finale today and then it's over with. It's kind of...- I know!
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- It's almost a bit sad. - Never mind.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21Let's hope that we both do well.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Torridge Auctions was founded in 1987.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30There are ten general sales spread throughout the year.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Selling everything from the kitchen sink, literally.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38But what does auctioneer Elizabeth Price think of our mixed bag?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41The Sheffield wine coasters, very nice pair.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46Such a shame that the stud is missing from the centre of one of them.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48It will make a huge difference to the value.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51I think the light fitting has a certain rustic charm,
0:30:51 > 0:30:54but I really don't think it's a great money spinner.
0:30:54 > 0:31:00And that's not good news for Anita, who needs to make a profit if she's to beat David.
0:31:01 > 0:31:07She started this leg with £300.45 and spent £73 on five items.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- Lovely.- Thank you.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12David, however, had £412.06,
0:31:12 > 0:31:17and spent £125, also on five items.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Now for the final auction in the final show.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25No wonder our two are feeling the tension.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30First up, Anita's miniature tray, which cost a modest £8.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- Well, you've got 10. You've got a bit of profit.- Yes!
0:31:32 > 0:31:35£10 now, £12 to somebody, surely. A nice little tray.
0:31:35 > 0:31:3712 to you sir, £12 now,
0:31:37 > 0:31:3914 is it? 14 now, 16 in the centre.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42At £16, the bidding now. Yours, sir.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46You've doubled your money, Anita. Start as you mean to go on, eh?
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Is that getting you worried? - No, not at all.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52The fact that I've made £8! SHE LAUGHS
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Now for David's first item, his £10 stool.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Let's see a tenner for it somewhere,
0:31:59 > 0:32:01I've got £5 bid right in front of me.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03£5 bringing in the bidding.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04Six, £6 now.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Seven for you sir, seven now.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- Seven then, the bidding. Eight elsewhere, or no?- £7!
0:32:09 > 0:32:12£7 only bid here. Yours, sir, thank you.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16You won't be sitting so comfortably after that loss.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- Never mind, David.- Never mind?! That's devastating!
0:32:19 > 0:32:20I know, I don't know what to say.
0:32:20 > 0:32:25Next up, Anita's light fitting, which cost her £20.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Let's hope somebody wants a rustic chandelier.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Is that how you'd describe it? I'd describe it as
0:32:31 > 0:32:33a piece of driftwood with wire coming out of it.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Whose got something like £10 to get this one started?
0:32:36 > 0:32:40For a light fitting like that, £10 surely to get it started?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- Make it five then if you will? - Five there!
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Five down here, six behind. Seven for you, sir?
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Working up. Eight, eight at the back and now nine. Nine, is it?
0:32:49 > 0:32:51At £9 in the centre.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Sadly, it didn't ignite the bidders.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58David's next item is his £15 tea caddy.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02At 10 I'm bid, £10 now. £10 I'm bid and 12.
0:33:02 > 0:33:0312 now, 15 for you.
0:33:03 > 0:33:0615, 18, 18 at the end.
0:33:06 > 0:33:0720 is it for you. 20? No?
0:33:07 > 0:33:10£18 the bidding. £18 at the far end of the sale room.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Make no mistake. 20 new blood. £20.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15At £20 it goes. Yours, sir.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16Oh!
0:33:16 > 0:33:21And that's a tiny profit. Come on, chaps.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23It's not going well for either of you today.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27Coming up, Anita's easel.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29£10 the bidding now, I'm looking for 12 elsewhere.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- She's got £10.- On the book.
0:33:31 > 0:33:3410 only bid here. At £10 it goes then.
0:33:34 > 0:33:40It broke even, but it's a loss after Anita pays commission.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Now for David's silver cigarette case.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Let's see £20 to get this one started.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47At 10, 10 I'm bid. At £10 now.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50At 12, now. 15 bid, 18.
0:33:50 > 0:33:5318 now, 20 for you. 20 now, 22.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- 25 here, 25, 28. 28, now 30, for you sir.- Go on!
0:33:57 > 0:34:0032 is it? 32 now, 5 if you will.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02- At 35 is it?- Go on!
0:34:02 > 0:34:0635, 38 for you sir? 38 now. At £38.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Yours, sir. Thank you.
0:34:07 > 0:34:12And that tidy little profit has put a smile on David's face at last.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16I do not believe that!
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Anita's paperweight is next under the hammer.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24- Starting the bidding here at £35. £35 now, bidding on the book.- Yes!
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- And 38 now, and 40.- Yes!
0:34:26 > 0:34:28£40 the bidding now.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30£40 bidding on the book.
0:34:30 > 0:34:35And that's punched above its weight. Could Anita's luck be turning?
0:34:35 > 0:34:39David has high hopes for his wine coasters.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Starting the bidding here at £50 on these. At £50 the bidding now.
0:34:43 > 0:34:4755 now, 55 and 60 now, £60 I'm bid now. £60 and five elsewhere?
0:34:48 > 0:34:5070 now. Five for you, sir, 75.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- 75, 75, the bid.- Need 100, need 100.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53Yours, sir, thank you.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57And he's toasting his success with a £65 profit,
0:34:57 > 0:34:59not drowning his sorrows.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03Let's see how Anita's final item does.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Her pen and pencil combo, which cost £15.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08- I've got 25, 25 bid. - Oh, straight in.
0:35:08 > 0:35:1228 now and 30 at the back. 32 now and five, 35.
0:35:12 > 0:35:1638 at the back. At 38 now, 40 if you will, in the corner?
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- 42, 45. At 45 now. - It's going, it's going.
0:35:19 > 0:35:2048, and 50 at the back.
0:35:20 > 0:35:2452 now, 55. 55 now, 58 is it?
0:35:24 > 0:35:2558 now and 60 at the back.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28At £60, the bidding's at the back.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32And that very respectable £45 profit!
0:35:32 > 0:35:33I'm very pleased with that.
0:35:33 > 0:35:41David's pinning everything on his star lot, which cost him £75.
0:35:41 > 0:35:46- Starting bidding here at £130.- Yes! - I'm going on to 140.- Excellent!
0:35:46 > 0:35:50And I have a bid of 150 to follow.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53160, new blood. 160.
0:35:53 > 0:35:58- 170.- Yes!- 170, 180 now.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00190 and 200, if you will?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- 200 now.- Get in there!- 210 is it?
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- 210 now, 220 here? £220 the bidding. - That's brilliant!
0:36:06 > 0:36:09£220 now.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10- Well done.- Yes!
0:36:10 > 0:36:15And your £145 profit, David, is the biggest of the day.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- That's what I love about auctions. Wonderful.- That was exciting.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22But who did the best overall?
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Anita started the day with £300.45.
0:36:25 > 0:36:31After paying auction costs and commission, she made a profit of £38.21.
0:36:31 > 0:36:37Her final total for the week is £338.66.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40David, however, did rather better at today's auction.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Thank you, sir.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45He had £412.06 spending money.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49After commission, he made a profit of £171.56.
0:36:49 > 0:36:57His final total is a handsome £583.62.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Congratulations you are a worthy winner.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04- We've had a lovely time, come on, I'll buy you a cup of tea.- OK!
0:37:04 > 0:37:05How sweet.
0:37:05 > 0:37:10And now, nearly all our experts have joined me to crown
0:37:10 > 0:37:13this year's Antiques Road Trip winner.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15And what a Road Trip it's been!
0:37:15 > 0:37:18PARP!
0:37:22 > 0:37:29In the last six weeks, our gallant road trippers have driven a staggering 4,000 miles
0:37:29 > 0:37:32and passed through 150 towns and cities,
0:37:32 > 0:37:36buying and selling 280 antiques along the way.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41# Stand and deliver
0:37:41 > 0:37:43# Your money or your life... #
0:37:43 > 0:37:45What energy!
0:37:45 > 0:37:49Which have realised a staggering £3,000 of net profit.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51What a result!
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Yes!- Get in there.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Up to there!
0:37:56 > 0:37:59And they only made losses on around 80 pieces.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Have you a handkerchief?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Unbelievable!
0:38:05 > 0:38:09We're here to celebrate the fact that nobody got seriously lost
0:38:09 > 0:38:13and that the cars all made it...just.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16And that each of the experts at some point on their trip,
0:38:16 > 0:38:17did make a profit.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Now let's find out what the experts really think?
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- Thomas? James?- Tim.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29So, Thomas, as the new boy on the block, you didn't do just terribly well, did you?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32No, can we just sort of glaze over that point?
0:38:32 > 0:38:36I've got butterflies in my tummy now. This is my big purchase of the day.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Oh, this is awful. It's disappointing.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Now your car, James.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- Yeah.- Ran well this time did it?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Absolutely beautifully.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Let's just have a small inspection.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50I'm putting my back into it, sir.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- That's what you call a good runner, isn't it?- It's a lovely motor.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Now, Phil and David. The old timers in your Morris Minor,
0:38:59 > 0:39:01what was the highlight for both of you?
0:39:01 > 0:39:05Just having the opportunity to work with David Barby for a week really.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08You got that in before me, I was going to say exactly the same.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Could you get that scarf out of my face? Thank you.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Try not to be too long because you haven't got long left at your age of your life.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Get in the car, for Christopher Columbus!
0:39:21 > 0:39:25The best man. I'm not going to catch anything off there, am I?
0:39:25 > 0:39:29- So which were your favourite purchases?- I fluked on
0:39:29 > 0:39:32a tyre puller thing, so that's going to live with me for a while.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37- I think the best thing with me was the tray for £5.- £200 and done then.
0:39:37 > 0:39:43So, Anita what was it like being up against the legendary David Harper?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Well it was like one big holiday for me.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Wow, look at that!
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Oh no, it's too cold!
0:39:51 > 0:39:56- Go in further David, further. - Come on in.- Too cold.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00So Anita, how would you sum up your joint haggling techniques?
0:40:00 > 0:40:02David's very physical about haggling.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06- We're going to have to have an arm wrestle over this.- Right, OK.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09OK, go. Don't break the table.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11I'm a little gentler.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Could you do it for 14?
0:40:14 > 0:40:20- Oh no, I hate doing this, throw me out your shop.- You've got to! - Throw me out your shop!
0:40:20 > 0:40:24Now Jonathan. What's it like being the new boy on the block?
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Steep learning curve.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29That's the toilets.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32I really enjoyed myself, I had great, great fun.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33Good partner to be with, Charlie.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- He's gone and got himself married, hasn't he?- Oh, he has.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40Our congratulations go to the irrepressible, Charles Hanson.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44He's off on his well, well deserved honeymoon, dear boy.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46# I'm so excited
0:40:46 > 0:40:49# And I just can't hide it
0:40:50 > 0:40:54# I'm about to lose control And I think I like it. #
0:40:54 > 0:40:58I wanted to win of course. It was an absolute travesty at the end I mean, you know.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- Now, Mark Stacey.- Hello, Tim.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06- No Charlie Ross with us today. - Unfortunately not, no.- It is sad.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09It is very sad but I think we bumbled along very nicely.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Will you get out?
0:41:11 > 0:41:14It's too late Charlie, I already bought that chair.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Just give me five minutes.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20- Are you all right in there? - I couldn't do it without you, honestly.
0:41:20 > 0:41:26Charlie and I looked like Joan Crawford and Bette Davis in that car.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- But I did have the odd problem... - CLUNKING
0:41:28 > 0:41:31..and Joan Crawford wasn't very happy with that.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- Oh, how dare you!- Oh, Matron!- Oh!
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- James, hi.- Hi. - Sadly no Kate with you.
0:41:36 > 0:41:42Yeah, Kate used her very feminine charms and long blonde hair.
0:41:42 > 0:41:43Just for me?
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Just for me?
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Just for me?
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Unfortunately it didn't really work for me.
0:41:49 > 0:41:5225 quid. Do you want to sell it?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54I had to be a little bit harder.
0:41:54 > 0:42:00So, let's look at the leader board, and see who's won this year's Antiques Road Trip.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Sadly, first timer Thomas came last.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Above him, we have James Braxton,
0:42:08 > 0:42:11then Charlie Ross and the lovely Anita.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15At number eight, it's new-boy Jonathan, then Philip,
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Mark and the very best of David Barby.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Last year's loser is this year's fourth place.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27It's Charles, breaking the £500 mark.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Last year's winner, David Harper, comes third
0:42:30 > 0:42:35and then, "just for me," it's Kate in second place.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38So this year winner is last year's runner-up,
0:42:38 > 0:42:45with a staggering £1,162.68, it's James Lewis!
0:42:45 > 0:42:49So, step forward James Lewis!
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- James. Congratulations.- Thank you.
0:42:52 > 0:42:57Please accept this award with our love and affection and congratulations.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00- A true antique.- A true antique.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03So what's the secret to your success?
0:43:03 > 0:43:05I think it was just on three objects really.
0:43:05 > 0:43:10- 265 is with me.- Oh my God, fantastic!
0:43:10 > 0:43:13At £220 now.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Fantastic!
0:43:15 > 0:43:18All done, there you have it then.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- Yay!- Well done, James, indeed.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24- Thank you.- And in fact, well done to all our road trippers,
0:43:24 > 0:43:31you have raised a net profit of nearly £3,000, all of which will go to Children in Need.
0:43:31 > 0:43:35So well done team and until we meet again on the road,
0:43:35 > 0:43:39it's goodbye from all of us. Goodbye.
