The nation's favourite antiques experts.

0:00:010:00:03

£200 each, and one big challenge.

0:00:030:00:05

Testing!

0:00:050:00:07

Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK.

0:00:070:00:13

The aim is trade up and hope each antique turns profit.

0:00:130:00:16

But it's not as easy as it sounds

0:00:160:00:18

and there can only be one winner.

0:00:180:00:20

So, will it be the highway to success

0:00:210:00:24

or the B road to bankruptcy?

0:00:240:00:26

This is the Antiques Road Trip!

0:00:280:00:31

This week, we're road tripping with auctioneer Charlie Ross

0:00:360:00:40

and porcelain expert Mark Stacey.

0:00:400:00:42

Shut up and drive!

0:00:420:00:44

Their chosen transport, a 1965 Mercedes Pagoda Roadster.

0:00:460:00:51

Charlie Ross ran his own auction house for 25 years.

0:00:590:01:02

He's a furniture expert who's wooing the dealers

0:01:020:01:05

into slashing their prices.

0:01:050:01:07

Would you think it's forward if I gave you a kiss to say thank you?

0:01:070:01:10

Opponent Mark Stacey came third last series.

0:01:110:01:15

A valuer, dealer and auctioneer,

0:01:150:01:17

he's fiercely competitive.

0:01:170:01:20

I'm here to thrash you, Charlie. Come on.

0:01:200:01:22

Each expert started their road trip with £200.

0:01:220:01:25

Mark has thumped Charlie in the profit stakes right from the start.

0:01:250:01:29

I think it was perfectly fair, don't you?

0:01:290:01:32

He's taken his £200 and transformed it

0:01:320:01:36

into a bumper £355.55.

0:01:360:01:39

Charlie's put heart and soul into every buy.

0:01:450:01:48

I can't resist it, Francis. Can I shake you by the hand?

0:01:480:01:51

But it's not enough.

0:01:510:01:52

His last auction saw him turn in a loss of £33.57.

0:01:520:01:58

I'm devastated.

0:01:580:01:59

He begins today's show with just £215.34.

0:02:010:02:05

So Charlie's got a fight on his hands.

0:02:060:02:08

Oh, Charlie, bad luck.

0:02:100:02:13

Mark and Charlie are on the fourth leg of a trip

0:02:150:02:18

which began in the West Midlands and is now a whistle-stop tour of Wales,

0:02:180:02:22

with the finish line in Chippenham in Wiltshire.

0:02:220:02:25

On today's show, they're leaving Anglesey

0:02:270:02:30

for an auction showdown in Carmarthen, further south.

0:02:300:02:33

Their first stop-off, Newcastle Emlyn.

0:02:330:02:35

But there's a problem.

0:02:400:02:42

It's raining. The Pagoda roof is up and Charlie has the buying blues.

0:02:420:02:46

-Know what I'm going to do today?

-What?

-I'm going to stay in the car.

0:02:460:02:50

Because I would lose less money sitting in the car than shopping!

0:02:500:02:54

Oh, don't be a stick-in-the-mud!

0:02:540:02:57

Newcastle Emlyn sits on the River Teifi.

0:02:580:03:02

Thanks to Oliver Cromwell, the castle was blown to smithereens during the English Civil War.

0:03:020:03:07

The town had 35 pubs in 1868.

0:03:090:03:13

Today there are only eight.

0:03:130:03:15

Never mind. There's an antiques centre for the boys to peruse.

0:03:190:03:22

Already the native Welshman is complaining.

0:03:250:03:28

It's cold and it's raining and it's summer. We could only be in one place. South Wales.

0:03:280:03:33

-A hotbed of antiques.

-Come on, I've smelt an antiques centre.

0:03:330:03:37

Charlie desperately needs to get back in the game.

0:03:380:03:41

I've got to be a bit more careful here. On the other hand, I've got to spend my money

0:03:410:03:46

in order to catch up Mark. But with £215, that's going to be difficult.

0:03:460:03:51

Yes, it is. You'd better get looking!

0:03:510:03:55

What do you look for in a teddy bear?

0:03:560:03:58

A good character.

0:03:580:04:01

A long snout. Good length of leg.

0:04:010:04:04

A chunky thigh.

0:04:040:04:06

Good limbs.

0:04:060:04:08

Neither of those teddies really fit the bill.

0:04:080:04:11

Not to be bought.

0:04:110:04:13

From chunky thighs and long snouts to Mark Stacey.

0:04:130:04:17

This is quite fun.

0:04:170:04:18

It's a little sort of custard set, I suppose.

0:04:180:04:21

You'd have very thick custard in there, like a creme brulee

0:04:210:04:26

or creme anglaise.

0:04:260:04:27

Actually, it's priced up at only £6.50.

0:04:270:04:30

Known as cream ware, this lead glazed earthenware

0:04:300:04:35

was first perfected by Josiah Wedgwood in the late 18th century.

0:04:350:04:39

Queen Charlotte was so taken with it,

0:04:390:04:42

she appointed Wedgwood as the royal supplier of dinnerware

0:04:420:04:45

in 1762.

0:04:450:04:47

This custard set is a little younger.

0:04:490:04:51

It's late 19th century.

0:04:510:04:53

I'm just going to see whether this is actually dirt on here

0:04:550:04:58

or whether it's actually in the firing.

0:04:580:05:01

If it's in the firing, then you've had it, really.

0:05:010:05:05

What I might do is see if the antiques centre has a kitchen,

0:05:050:05:10

and I'll give it a wash and see how it comes up.

0:05:100:05:12

While Mark channels Molly Maid,

0:05:120:05:16

Charlie's being colourful.

0:05:160:05:18

Cranberry glass.

0:05:180:05:19

Named because of the colour.

0:05:210:05:23

Victorian.

0:05:230:05:25

And very collectible. Ladies love cranberry glass.

0:05:260:05:30

With that crimped edge, it's a pretty vase.

0:05:300:05:33

The Victorians were obsessed with all things decorative.

0:05:350:05:38

Cranberry glass was a favourite.

0:05:380:05:40

The red came from adding gold chloride to molten glass.

0:05:400:05:44

Good pieces can fetch several hundred pounds,

0:05:440:05:47

sometimes more.

0:05:470:05:49

Unfortunately, this one ain't rare.

0:05:490:05:51

It's £38. I dare say in the trade it's 35. Might be 30,

0:05:530:05:57

which is coming down to the sort of price it would make at auction.

0:05:570:06:00

So not a profit unless I was to be very rude and offer a fiver!

0:06:000:06:05

Across the shop, Mark's up to his elbows in soapy bubbles!

0:06:060:06:10

One of the cups has got a little chip on it.

0:06:100:06:14

There's a crack there.

0:06:140:06:15

That one's not coming up very nicely.

0:06:150:06:19

This one is marked. It's marked "Etruria, England".

0:06:190:06:22

Etruria was one of Wedgwood's main factories, which adds value

0:06:220:06:27

to this set if you're careful.

0:06:270:06:30

I think, if we can get this for a fiver or less...

0:06:310:06:34

-CLATTER

-Ooh, dear!

0:06:340:06:36

As I was saying, if we can get this for a pound or less!

0:06:360:06:39

Don't do that at home!

0:06:400:06:42

If we can get this for a fiver or less, it would be really rude not to buy it.

0:06:420:06:48

Mark's off to charm dealer Stephen Furness.

0:06:490:06:52

Steve, I've had a little clean-up there,

0:06:520:06:54

in the limited facilities you have.

0:06:540:06:57

I've found one I think is not part of it.

0:06:570:07:01

One that has a nasty hairline crack in it, and a couple of chips.

0:07:010:07:04

But overall, I think it's actually quite a nice little thing.

0:07:040:07:08

-It's got 6.50 on it.

-A fiver.

0:07:080:07:11

-Four?

-Go on, then.

0:07:110:07:13

Definitely worth all that scrubbing around in the lavvie.

0:07:130:07:18

Now, what's Charlie up to?

0:07:180:07:20

I like the silver and steel cigar cutter.

0:07:200:07:23

-Overlaid silver on the handle.

-On the handle.

0:07:230:07:26

And a steel body to it.

0:07:260:07:28

Great quality. What do you think that is? Edwardian?

0:07:280:07:31

-Yes, Edwardian, just on the cusp, yes.

-Yeah.

0:07:310:07:35

Edward VII was a famous cigar smoker.

0:07:390:07:42

So it was fashionable for gentlemen of the time to follow suit.

0:07:420:07:47

Cigar cutters dangled from watch chains and were impressively decorated.

0:07:470:07:51

This is perfect for a fat, hand-rolled cigar.

0:07:510:07:54

It's priced at £48.

0:07:540:07:57

-Very nice. I don't suppose I can buy it for a tenner?

-Not a tenner!

0:07:580:08:01

-Are you sure?

-Absolutely!

0:08:010:08:03

-38 would buy it.

-I'm going to think seriously. 25?

0:08:030:08:07

35.

0:08:070:08:09

-28?

-30, come on!

0:08:090:08:11

I was almost tempted to say 29 but he's been so reasonable, I'll give you £30 for it.

0:08:110:08:18

Thank you very much.

0:08:180:08:19

Mark's going Edwardian, too.

0:08:210:08:24

A cellist's chair. But there's no price on it.

0:08:240:08:28

The type of inlay is very Edwardian. That all dates to about 1910.

0:08:280:08:33

It's getting on for 100 years old or so.

0:08:330:08:36

I'll find out how much it costs.

0:08:360:08:38

There's a chair in here without a price on it.

0:08:380:08:41

The label's come off it.

0:08:410:08:42

-Yes. 65.

-Oh, 65, is it?

0:08:420:08:45

-It's a shame, isn't it? It's quite pretty.

-Very pretty.

0:08:460:08:49

Mark's putting the chair down, but he'd better watch out.

0:08:490:08:52

With Charlie around, he might have it stolen from under his nose!

0:08:520:08:56

I'm always looking for things that have lost their price tags.

0:08:570:09:02

You always live in hope that somebody's forgotten how much it should be priced at.

0:09:020:09:08

This is from the Sheraton revival period.

0:09:080:09:12

Thomas Sheraton was a neo-classical English furniture designer

0:09:120:09:17

in the late 18th century.

0:09:170:09:19

In the Edwardian era,

0:09:190:09:21

furniture-makers revived the classic lines and designs from 100 years previously.

0:09:210:09:27

Great inlay.

0:09:280:09:30

It's mahogany base, strung in box wood,

0:09:300:09:34

inlaid with olive wood and with satinwood.

0:09:340:09:39

Fantastic quality workmanship.

0:09:390:09:42

Charlie's hooked, so he's sending dealer Keith Bunold to find out more.

0:09:420:09:46

-If it could be unbelievably cheap...

-I'll find out for you now.

0:09:460:09:51

But will Mark work out Charlie's sitting on his potential profit?

0:09:510:09:55

How's that?

0:09:550:09:57

-I couldn't see the price on it.

-There's 65 on it.

0:09:570:10:00

Who's looking at that?

0:10:000:10:02

-A customer.

-Not Charlie Ross?

0:10:020:10:04

-No, no.

-I saw my eye on that first. I've asked already and I've reserved it. Haven't I?

0:10:040:10:09

I've actually reserved that chair.

0:10:090:10:11

He's not having it because I saw that first. You all saw me.

0:10:110:10:15

I waxed lyrical about that piece.

0:10:150:10:17

If he's interested in it, I'm determined he's not going to have it!

0:10:170:10:20

Lucky for Mark, the chair belongs to Stephen's wife.

0:10:200:10:24

-What do you think she'll do it for?

-45.

0:10:240:10:26

It's tempting to say the deal is done and he can't have it.

0:10:260:10:30

No, I'm being wicked. That's nasty, isn't it?

0:10:310:10:34

Shall I be that nasty?

0:10:340:10:36

Cheeky Mark is off to tell Charlie he's bought it.

0:10:360:10:40

-Too late, Charlie.

-You've bought it?

-I've already bought that chair.

0:10:400:10:44

-You can't have it, my friend.

-Why not?

-It's too expensive for you!

0:10:440:10:48

-Oh!

-It was £65... £68.

-68?

-68.

0:10:480:10:52

What did you get it down to?

0:10:520:10:54

-I got it down to a very respectable...

-25?

0:10:540:10:56

-No, not that, Charlie!

-30?

-No, a little bit more.

0:10:560:11:00

Mark may have stolen it back,

0:11:000:11:03

but he's still to get a deal on it.

0:11:030:11:05

The thing is, I haven't really bought it yet.

0:11:050:11:08

I don't know. But I just wanted to go and stop him.

0:11:080:11:11

Make him worried, make him concerned that I'm just napping at his tail.

0:11:110:11:16

Let's have a word with Stephen. We'll try and get it for 40.

0:11:160:11:19

We can't do a little bit better? 35?

0:11:190:11:22

We can do it for 40.

0:11:220:11:24

£40?

0:11:240:11:25

It's rude not to buy it for £40, really, isn't it?

0:11:250:11:28

It's a really sweet chair. Even if I don't make much on it, it's a nice object for the show.

0:11:280:11:33

I'll take that as well. Thank you, Stephen.

0:11:330:11:36

Oh, dear! Could this all lead to our first Road Trip tiff?

0:11:360:11:40

-Where are you going?

-I'm not telling you.

-You're in the car?

0:11:400:11:43

-You can't leave me here, Charlie!

-I can!

0:11:430:11:46

-I'm left high and dry.

-And that's where you're staying.

0:11:460:11:48

What a scoundrel!

0:11:480:11:50

Frankly, I'm so far behind, I'm somewhere on the back straight.

0:11:510:11:56

This dealing lark!

0:11:560:11:58

It's not as easy as you think!

0:11:580:12:01

Poor old Charlie. He's ventured just outside Newcastle Emlyn

0:12:010:12:05

to another antique shop. But will it change his fortunes?

0:12:050:12:09

-Hello!

-Hello, there.

0:12:100:12:12

Cameron Bennett is more collector than dealer,

0:12:130:12:16

so he won't be parting with any beloved pieces for a song.

0:12:160:12:20

"Peter Pan Bodices"!

0:12:200:12:22

That really is a statement of the times, isn't it?

0:12:220:12:25

Is that something that's for sale?

0:12:250:12:27

It is for sale.

0:12:270:12:29

-How much is that?

-I'd like to see 120 on that.

0:12:290:12:32

I'm not surprised. It's a nice thing.

0:12:330:12:35

Back to the drawing board. It's way out of your price range.

0:12:350:12:39

In town, Mark's reaching for his comfort blanket.

0:12:400:12:43

Staffordshire figurines.

0:12:430:12:45

-It's the signing of the Magna Carta.

-I thought it might be. I was just going to say.

0:12:450:12:51

Obviously it's King John signing the Magna Carta.

0:12:510:12:54

Two colourful assistants. I love this.

0:12:540:12:56

I love these bright, naive colours.

0:12:560:12:59

Last episode, Mark made a killing on two Staffordshires.

0:13:000:13:04

Sold at 90.

0:13:040:13:05

-£72 profit.

-I'm pleased with that.

0:13:050:13:08

Is he about to pull it out of the bag again?

0:13:080:13:11

-There's a crack, look.

-A chip in the bottom.

-A big chip there.

0:13:130:13:16

No wonder he's looking so cross!

0:13:160:13:19

-And I think he's lost his nib on the pen.

-On the pen, yeah.

0:13:190:13:23

And I do like his garters, don't you?

0:13:240:13:27

He's got lovely suntanned legs!

0:13:270:13:30

Steady!

0:13:300:13:31

Created about 1860, this Staffordshire figure

0:13:310:13:34

may be based on a version of Shakespeare's The Life and Death of King John.

0:13:340:13:39

An actor called Charles Keen played the king, and this could be him.

0:13:390:13:44

This piece is so rare, there's one in the Victoria and Albert Museum,

0:13:440:13:49

but even so, another one only sold for £120 at a recent auction.

0:13:490:13:53

That would still give Mark a profit if he slashes down the price

0:13:530:13:57

from its considerable £130 price tag.

0:13:570:14:00

But there's a problem. Stephen is not the owner.

0:14:020:14:06

How negotiable is it? Do you know?

0:14:060:14:08

-Make an offer.

-For a fellow Welshman!

0:14:080:14:11

-Can we speak to him on the phone?

-I can try.

0:14:110:14:14

Mark's spotted something else.

0:14:140:14:16

Oh, yes. But that one's very damaged.

0:14:160:14:20

One of them. And the price? It's free!

0:14:220:14:24

I'm always looking for a Mark memento, but I don't think I'll get this for nothing!

0:14:270:14:32

Don't start that lark again, Mark Stacey! Freebie? I don't know. It's just not cricket!

0:14:320:14:37

Again, maybe around about 1860 or so.

0:14:370:14:40

I love the head of this prancing horse. It's so camp!

0:14:400:14:44

-Do you know how much it is, by chance?

-A tenner.

-£10?

0:14:440:14:48

That's far too much!

0:14:480:14:50

For such a damaged figure!

0:14:500:14:53

Here comes the sob story!

0:14:530:14:54

I always try and get a little memento of each visit I make.

0:14:540:15:00

-The dealers always warm to me, rather than Charlie Ross!

-Cos you're Welsh.

0:15:000:15:05

They always say, "We must let you have something to be sure you get more profit."

0:15:050:15:09

They normally give me something around about the £10 mark.

0:15:090:15:13

We'll keep that out for now, because I have a feeling, with the right persuasion...

0:15:130:15:17

We might have found the Mark memento!

0:15:170:15:20

-CLATTERING Oh, mind that door!

-You deserve that!

0:15:200:15:23

Mark knows the King John is priced at 130,

0:15:240:15:28

while the princess is £10.

0:15:280:15:30

He now has to be patient while the dealer phones the owner

0:15:300:15:34

to see if they will negotiate. So it's a waiting game.

0:15:340:15:37

Charlie's still shopping, and Cameron has found him a little treasure.

0:15:380:15:42

This I could sell.

0:15:420:15:44

It's an electrotype copy of a French medal issued in 1815.

0:15:460:15:51

An electrotype is a quasi-mechanical process reproducing objects in metal

0:15:510:15:57

so meticulously that they could be mistaken for an original.

0:15:570:16:01

This one depicts Napoleon Bonaparte, his second wife Marie-Louise and their infant son.

0:16:010:16:07

There's a spot of intrigue, too.

0:16:070:16:09

A letter from a museum to a London dealer, written in 1947,

0:16:090:16:14

attempting to find out the medal's value.

0:16:140:16:16

I love the letter! From Hertfordshire County Museum.

0:16:160:16:20

It says it's an electrotype copy, not contemporary with the medal,

0:16:200:16:24

because electrotypes were not made until about 1840.

0:16:240:16:28

I'd better ask the price in case it's a fiver!

0:16:280:16:31

-I would say £30.

-Would you?

0:16:310:16:33

-So if I offered you a tenner, you'd probably say, "That would do nicely."

-No!

0:16:330:16:39

No. Tough man, this man.

0:16:390:16:41

Tell you what, I'll meet you halfway and give you 20 quid for it.

0:16:410:16:45

-I'll take a chance and pray!

-Sounds good to me.

0:16:450:16:49

I like that, sir, very much indeed.

0:16:490:16:51

All the best. Cheers.

0:16:510:16:53

As Charlie clocks off for the day,

0:16:530:16:57

Mark's hoofing it to the nearby home of one of the earliest boats known to man,

0:16:570:17:02

the coracle. These were created by civilisations across the world

0:17:020:17:06

from as early as 10,000 years ago.

0:17:060:17:08

-Martin, hello.

-Hello.

-How are you?

-All right, thanks.

0:17:080:17:12

Martin Fowler will give Mark the low-down on these historic watercraft,

0:17:120:17:16

still used today in West Wales.

0:17:160:17:19

The museum is here because this is the only place in Britain

0:17:190:17:23

where coracle fishing still takes place.

0:17:230:17:26

-The animal you had would have decided the size and shape of it.

-OK.

0:17:260:17:31

So this is a cow hide covering a willow basket.

0:17:310:17:34

Tibet, for instance, uses yak hide.

0:17:340:17:37

-So a basic one-man boat using whatever local ingredients you had.

-That's right.

0:17:370:17:43

Have a look at this one. This is from Vietnam.

0:17:430:17:46

-This is quite large.

-Yes, but this particular one

0:17:460:17:49

was last used to take a family of people 500 miles across the South China sea

0:17:490:17:56

from Vietnam to Hong Kong with refugees in.

0:17:560:17:59

-Good Lord!

-So it's...

-It's quite a sturdy craft, then!

0:17:590:18:04

It is, yes.

0:18:040:18:05

Here's hoping this one is just as sturdy, as Mark's about to get in it!

0:18:050:18:10

-So I'm on the bank of the river.

-Put your paddle in the mud.

0:18:100:18:14

-Then I come in like that.

-Yes.

0:18:140:18:16

Then you turn and sit on the seat.

0:18:160:18:18

I sit on the seat with this in the middle.

0:18:180:18:20

-Make sure your feet are in the corner.

-Each corner.

-Yes.

0:18:200:18:24

-And I'm quite safe in here?

-Oh, yes.

0:18:240:18:26

Put your hand over the top and your hand here.

0:18:260:18:29

Now turn it like this.

0:18:290:18:31

-Oh, right.

-You're doing a figure of eight.

0:18:310:18:34

-OK.

-And that actually pulls you forwards down the river.

-Really?

-Yes.

0:18:340:18:39

They're also ideal craft for fishing

0:18:390:18:42

because the paddle hardly disturbs the water, making it easier to net a catch.

0:18:420:18:47

And you can carry your coracle home afterwards.

0:18:470:18:50

-Lift towards me?

-Yeah.

0:18:500:18:52

Over your head.

0:18:520:18:54

-And then slide it on like that.

-Perfect!

0:18:540:18:57

I think that's quite impressive.

0:18:570:18:59

Now, how do we get it off?

0:18:590:19:01

Now Mark's up-to-speed with his coracle-handling skills,

0:19:020:19:06

it's time to see a man about a couple of Staffordshire figures.

0:19:060:19:10

The owner has confirmed his lowest price, so negotiations can begin.

0:19:100:19:15

-I managed to get hold of Keith.

-Yes?

0:19:150:19:17

With the flatback. And...80.

0:19:170:19:21

That's £50 down from £130 for King John.

0:19:220:19:26

But what about the princess?

0:19:260:19:28

I'm thinking, because this is so damaged, and you said a tenner.

0:19:280:19:32

-Yes.

-Is that the best price?

0:19:320:19:34

That depends on whether you're still quandering over that one.

0:19:340:19:38

-If you're quandering on that one, then I'll throw that one in.

-That is tempting!

0:19:380:19:42

Because then that's two for one, as it were. BOGOF!

0:19:420:19:48

That's Bought One, Got One Free!

0:19:480:19:51

Quick. Let's do this now before I change my mind again.

0:19:510:19:55

Because then, you just won't get any money out of me.

0:19:550:19:58

Goodbye!

0:19:580:20:00

I'll gather up my purchases and depart.

0:20:000:20:02

-A very happy man. Thanks again, Steve. Good to see you.

-You, too.

0:20:020:20:07

But who knows what tomorrow will bring?

0:20:070:20:10

Early morning, the sun is shining, and the top is finally down on the Roadster.

0:20:130:20:18

And it's one last shopping spree before the auction.

0:20:180:20:21

-I'm hoping at some stage you might actually consider buying an antique!

-If I saw one, I'd buy one!

0:20:220:20:28

Our cheeky chappies are motoring 25 miles south to Narberth,

0:20:290:20:34

home to one of the largest antiques emporiums in Wales.

0:20:340:20:38

Despite bagging three lots in one shop,

0:20:400:20:43

Mark suffered indecision over his Staffordshire figures.

0:20:430:20:47

He spent £124, giving him £231.55 to play with.

0:20:470:20:52

Goodbye!

0:20:520:20:54

Charlie, however, has lost his confidence, thanks to depleted profits.

0:20:540:20:59

He's bought just two items at £50,

0:20:590:21:01

leaving him £165.34.

0:21:010:21:04

Let's hope Narberth cheers him up. It's a pretty town,

0:21:080:21:12

proud of its medieval heritage.

0:21:120:21:14

It's also home to the famous Narberth sausage, a heady mix

0:21:140:21:18

of pork, tomato, leek and basil.

0:21:180:21:21

Definitely not an antique. Which brings us back to Mark and Charlie.

0:21:210:21:25

Are we there, Charlie?

0:21:250:21:27

-I think we are. Back Lane.

-That's the one we want.

0:21:270:21:30

I can see you buying a load of old artefacts, can't you?

0:21:300:21:33

I'll be leaving all the antiques to you, as always!

0:21:340:21:37

Because you can't spot any, Charlie!

0:21:370:21:39

-I'm impervious to antiques.

-After you. You need to buy more than I do!

0:21:390:21:43

There's so much to see.

0:21:480:21:50

Here...

0:21:510:21:53

there...

0:21:530:21:54

and everywhere!

0:21:540:21:55

Charlie's found something.

0:21:550:21:57

Just get a bit of a clue.

0:21:570:21:59

Maybe not!

0:22:010:22:03

A little silver rose bowl has attracted Mark, but only just.

0:22:050:22:10

It's this that I was slightly interested in.

0:22:100:22:12

It's quite light-weight, isn't it?

0:22:120:22:15

-A nice clear mark.

-Sheffield.

-What price have we got on this?

0:22:150:22:19

-75.

-75.

-75.

-75.

0:22:190:22:22

Maybe we can do something.

0:22:220:22:24

OK. One thing you have to look at if you're buying something like this

0:22:240:22:28

which is normally a trophy of some sort, they're often engraved.

0:22:280:22:32

You can have that removed, but by removing it, you are taking some of the silver away.

0:22:320:22:38

If you actually press, and I've been pressing here,

0:22:380:22:41

and there's a bit of give there,

0:22:410:22:43

that could just be a dent,

0:22:430:22:45

but on the other hand, it could be where there's been an inscription removed.

0:22:450:22:51

That weakens the silver.

0:22:510:22:53

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing - if the price is right.

0:22:530:22:57

-50.

-50. OK.

0:22:570:23:00

I would have wanted it nearer, unfortunately, nearer the £30 mark.

0:23:000:23:04

I'll pop it back and lock up.

0:23:040:23:06

And on that note, Mark is calling it a day.

0:23:060:23:10

I can't find anything really in my price or anything I want to buy.

0:23:100:23:15

So I'm going to head off.

0:23:150:23:17

Charlie's still in the buying mood, and he's picking up from where Mark left off, with the rose bowl.

0:23:190:23:24

-No engraving on it.

-No engraving. And the double crown Jubilee mark.

0:23:240:23:29

-Nice crisp marks.

-It is, isn't it?

0:23:290:23:32

The double crown jubilee mark is in commemoration of King George V

0:23:320:23:36

and Queen Mary's silver jubilee in 1935.

0:23:360:23:40

Charlie is in luck, because Karen Wilson owns this piece.

0:23:400:23:44

Is 40 going to tickle you?

0:23:440:23:47

Well, it might tickle you, but will it...

0:23:470:23:49

I will do 50 for you.

0:23:490:23:51

Karen, we're very nearly there, I think.

0:23:510:23:54

If I begged you to do 45, could that be done?

0:23:540:23:58

-48.

-Ooh, 48!

-48.

-You're licking your fingers on 48.

0:23:590:24:04

46?

0:24:040:24:06

-46. My last offer.

-45.

0:24:060:24:09

-My last offer.

-Oh, you will do 45! You've come below... No!

0:24:090:24:12

I've got that now!

0:24:120:24:14

Hang on, Karen! You're selling, not buying!

0:24:140:24:16

I nearly scuppered you there!

0:24:160:24:18

-Tell you what, at 47?

-Yes.

-Mwa!

0:24:180:24:21

Karen's got something else up her sleeve.

0:24:210:24:24

A Victorian warning sign for a telegraph pole!

0:24:240:24:27

"Persons throwing stones at the telegraphs will be prosecuted."

0:24:270:24:32

-That's before telephones, but in the days when you sent Morse code.

-The wires, yes.

0:24:320:24:38

I think it's going to make 40 or £50 at auction. It's a great thing.

0:24:380:24:42

-I'd have to buy it for £30 really, to go anywhere.

-35?

0:24:420:24:47

You're...

0:24:470:24:49

You know how to do a deal, don't you?

0:24:490:24:52

£35.

0:24:520:24:53

Oh... Go for it!

0:24:530:24:56

Ross, go for it!

0:24:560:24:58

I'm so thrilled Karen pointed that out.

0:24:580:25:01

I have never, ever seen anything like that.

0:25:010:25:04

As Mark's sticking with what he bought yesterday,

0:25:060:25:09

he's now off to prepare for that all-important show and tell.

0:25:090:25:13

-Do you want any money?

-That would be nice, Charlie!

0:25:150:25:18

Charlie is settling up for his two items, then he's taking a little detour.

0:25:180:25:23

Off to the seaside!

0:25:250:25:26

He's on his way to Laugharne,

0:25:260:25:29

15 miles east of Narberth.

0:25:290:25:31

He's visiting a boathouse, but it's no ordinary boathouse.

0:25:330:25:36

This was once the home of Welsh bard Dylan Thomas.

0:25:360:25:40

What a fantastic view! What an inspirational place

0:25:410:25:47

to write poetry. Fabulous!

0:25:470:25:51

Dylan Thomas's poetry is loved the world over.

0:25:530:25:56

But he's probably most famous for his play Under Milk Wood

0:25:560:26:00

which was written while he lived here in the '50s.

0:26:000:26:03

Charlie is meeting John Tregenna,

0:26:030:26:06

the curator of the boathouse.

0:26:060:26:08

-John?

-Hello, Charlie.

-Hi!

0:26:080:26:10

-Lovely to see you.

-You, too. Welcome to the Dylan Thomas boathouse.

0:26:100:26:14

Dylan Thomas's poetry writing began while at school.

0:26:140:26:18

His father was the headmaster.

0:26:180:26:20

There's a story where Dylan Thomas is leaving school early, playing truant.

0:26:200:26:25

There's a voice from behind, and the voice is the headmaster.

0:26:250:26:29

The headmaster says to Dylan, "Where are you going, boy?"

0:26:290:26:32

And he says, "Home to write poetry."

0:26:320:26:35

And the headmaster, his father, says, "Well, don't get caught!"

0:26:350:26:38

His poetry and radio plays reached the masses on the BBC.

0:26:380:26:44

He also found fame in America,

0:26:440:26:46

and it was there he died in 1953, aged only 39, from alcoholism.

0:26:460:26:52

He just loved pub life. He loved gossip, he loved stories.

0:26:520:26:55

-Yeah.

-And, you know, so he was a very heavy drinker.

0:26:550:26:59

He was famous, he was coming off-stage, he was mobbed, people wanted to buy him a drink.

0:26:590:27:03

There's only so much beer a man can take.

0:27:030:27:06

But most of the last four years of his life

0:27:060:27:08

were spent in Laugharne.

0:27:080:27:11

He wrote some of his best-loved poems here, in "the writing shed".

0:27:110:27:15

Gosh.

0:27:150:27:17

Come in.

0:27:170:27:18

If he had a deadline, his wife would lock him in the shed!

0:27:180:27:23

She'd march him up here at two o'clock, lock him in,

0:27:230:27:26

and at seven o'clock come along, unlock the door and let him go to the pub!

0:27:260:27:30

He wrote five of his greatest poems at that table.

0:27:320:27:36

One of them specifically is about the hill in the distance.

0:27:360:27:39

-Yes?

-Sir John's Hill. And he used to write about the estuary.

0:27:390:27:43

-Do you think I could sit down?

-Course you can.

-I'm a hopeless poet.

0:27:430:27:47

But I could pretend.

0:27:470:27:48

If you can't get inspiration looking out of this window, you can't get inspiration anywhere!

0:27:480:27:54

This is absolutely amazing.

0:27:540:27:57

I am sitting in Dylan Thomas's chair, at his desk,

0:27:570:28:02

looking out of the very same window. Magic!

0:28:020:28:07

"And blithely they squawk To fiery tyburn over the wrestle of elms until

0:28:070:28:14

"The flash the noosed hawk

0:28:140:28:15

"Crashes, and slowly the fishing holy stalking heron

0:28:160:28:20

"In the river Towy below bows his tilted headstone."

0:28:200:28:25

Unfortunately, we can't read poetry all day

0:28:250:28:29

as it's show and tell time at Laugharne Castle.

0:28:290:28:34

Fortifications have stood here since the 12th century.

0:28:340:28:37

But now to the latest battle.

0:28:370:28:39

Whose items will win out for our two rivals?

0:28:390:28:43

What kept you?

0:28:430:28:45

Let's start with the Edwardian chair

0:28:450:28:47

surreptitiously whisked from under Charlie's nose.

0:28:470:28:51

-Kick off. What did you pay for it?

-40.

0:28:510:28:53

You didn't get it for 40?

0:28:530:28:55

You are such a dog!

0:28:550:28:57

I'd have given him 50! Ring him up and tell him!

0:28:590:29:02

Tell you what, get the 50 quid out, Charlie. I'll make a quick tenner!

0:29:020:29:06

Now, the silver rose bowl.

0:29:060:29:10

Mark considered it at 50 but Charlie won out at £47.

0:29:100:29:15

-I thought there was a bit of give.

-Well, I did test the gauge.

0:29:150:29:20

I ran my fingers round it and I thought it hadn't.

0:29:200:29:23

-A difference of opinion again.

-Absolutely. And you'll be right!

-We're divided.

0:29:230:29:27

-Yes, and you make the profit!

-She offered it to me for 25!

0:29:270:29:31

Oh, did she? Yes.

0:29:310:29:33

I bought it for 15!

0:29:330:29:35

-You liar!

-No, I didn't!

0:29:350:29:38

Next, Mark's creamware custard set.

0:29:380:29:41

I'm not going a bundle on that. I might be disappointing you.

0:29:410:29:44

I'm looking at 40 to £60.

0:29:440:29:46

-You're not disappointing me cos I paid four!

-£4?!

0:29:460:29:50

£4!

0:29:500:29:51

One, two, three...

0:29:510:29:53

-Oh!

-What else have you got to shock me?

0:29:540:29:58

-I think I've bought something that's pre-1900.

-No!

0:29:580:30:01

-Are you sure?

-Yes.

0:30:010:30:03

-Be still, me beating heart.

-It's sacred!

0:30:030:30:05

Be warned, Mark.

0:30:050:30:07

This Victorian telegraph sign at £35 could prove a nice little earner.

0:30:070:30:12

Charlie.

0:30:120:30:13

-Have you ever seen one like that?

-No, and never wanted to!

0:30:130:30:17

-Come on, Mark.

-It's great fun.

-It's fantastic. Telegraph.

0:30:170:30:20

-It's meant to go on the pole, which is why it's cast...

-Right.

0:30:200:30:24

-I love it.

-They had a nice old wooden pole.

0:30:240:30:26

-"V.R."

-Yes. Veronica Rex!

0:30:260:30:29

Well done.

0:30:300:30:31

Seriously. I really do like it. I'm not just saying that.

0:30:310:30:35

Oh, stop doing that!

0:30:360:30:38

Roll on Mark's Staffordshire figures.

0:30:390:30:41

King John at £80 and the princess thrown in for free.

0:30:410:30:45

I love the whole thing. I love the colours.

0:30:450:30:48

I love that in Victorian times, this would have been an educative tool as much as anything.

0:30:480:30:53

-I think it's quite rare.

-Very nice. I've not seen that one.

-I haven't.

0:30:530:30:57

And I love this one also. This is even earlier, I think.

0:30:570:31:01

-It is sadly damaged.

-But that's why it was free.

0:31:010:31:04

But what will Mr Critical think of Charlie's £30 cigar cutter?

0:31:040:31:09

-Oh, Charlie!

-You can actually cut a Havana cigar with that.

0:31:090:31:13

-It's plated.

-Yes.

0:31:130:31:15

But it has silver mounts. Those cut-engraved plates on either side are silver.

0:31:150:31:20

-It's a working profit again. I like that expression. A working profit.

-Yes.

0:31:200:31:25

-Though I'm used to a working loss.

-I know!

-May I put this down?

-I think so.

0:31:250:31:29

-Actually, no, I'll leave it up!

-You rotter!

0:31:290:31:33

And finally, the Napoleonic Star medal. As ever,

0:31:330:31:37

with old Rossy, there's a story.

0:31:370:31:39

This comes with a letter.

0:31:390:31:40

And a caveat at the end. "Dear Mr Quelch,

0:31:400:31:44

"this is an electrotype copy of the medal issues in about 1815.

0:31:440:31:48

"It's French. I have no idea of its value.

0:31:480:31:51

"But B.A.Ceeby of Great Portland Street is the most reliable dealer I know of."

0:31:510:31:56

There's nothing else. I folded it up, put it in my pocket.

0:31:560:32:00

This morning, when I got up, I thought of my bit of paper.

0:32:000:32:03

I noticed some scribble on the back. It reads as follows,

0:32:030:32:06

"This was submitted to Mr Ceeby of 65, Great Portland Street,

0:32:060:32:12

"who stated that it was of no value at all...

0:32:120:32:15

"..as it was only a copy of the original."

0:32:180:32:21

Another cracker!

0:32:230:32:25

But I'm not going to give them the letter with it. Somebody might think it's valuable!

0:32:250:32:30

I actually quite like it.

0:32:300:32:32

It's not bad. But this was my lost moment, as always.

0:32:320:32:37

In fairness, Charlie, the letter would have summed up most of your purchases!

0:32:370:32:42

-But not that one.

-Not this one or this one.

0:32:420:32:45

So I think, all in all, we've got a bit of a chase on our hands.

0:32:450:32:50

-We've got a competition, this time.

-We really have.

0:32:500:32:53

-Well done.

-And you.

-Good fun!

0:32:530:32:55

Could the tables really be turning?

0:32:550:32:57

Let's see what our rivals think.

0:32:570:33:00

Well done, Mr Stacey, again.

0:33:000:33:02

We know he bought the chair, but I can't believe he got it for £40!

0:33:020:33:06

The cast iron telegraph sign is absolutely charming.

0:33:060:33:10

I've never seen one, nor has Charlie. The dealer hasn't.

0:33:100:33:14

Typical of the old rascal to come up with that. 35 quid, though.

0:33:140:33:17

He'll be lucky to get a profit on it.

0:33:170:33:19

If that bombs, "Good night, Sooty"!

0:33:190:33:23

It's much more of an even match. Between you and me, I'm a little bit scared!

0:33:230:33:28

Round Four of this week-long road trip

0:33:320:33:34

has seen our dazzling duo whizz round South Wales in a search for antique treasures.

0:33:340:33:39

They began in Newcastle Emlyn,

0:33:410:33:43

then on to Narberth and Laugharne

0:33:430:33:45

and now it's a bee-line east to Carmarthen.

0:33:450:33:49

This could be the most critical battle of the week, right here,

0:33:500:33:54

as auction day commences.

0:33:540:33:56

Carmarthen lays claim to being the oldest town in Wales.

0:33:570:34:01

It began life as a Roman fort.

0:34:010:34:04

It's also home to the Arthurian legend that Merlin was born just outside the town.

0:34:040:34:10

Today, the magic will happen at Peter Francis' Auctions, in business for over a century.

0:34:110:34:17

-You haven't cut the mustard so far, Mr Ross.

-No, I've been left in your wake, as always.

0:34:170:34:23

-Can you smell profits in there?

-Yes, quite a big one!

0:34:230:34:26

For me, I hope!

0:34:260:34:27

It's a general sale, where unusual collectibles do well.

0:34:280:34:32

Good news for Mark, where his Staffordshire King John is concerned, you'd think.

0:34:320:34:37

Except it's been damaged on its way to the auction rooms.

0:34:370:34:41

Auctioneer Nigel Hobson will break the bad news to Mark. I wonder if he'll cry?

0:34:410:34:47

-I've got a problem with one object.

-Oh, yes?

0:34:470:34:49

-Which is why it's sitting here.

-Yes.

0:34:490:34:51

It's had the top ear broken off.

0:34:510:34:53

-Oh, yes.

-We've reinstalled it.

0:34:530:34:56

-Oh, dear.

-It wasn't us - honest. It was damaged when it came out.

0:34:560:35:00

-That's going to make quite a difference.

-A big difference.

0:35:000:35:03

When breakages happen like this,

0:35:030:35:06

the Antiques Road Trip likes to play fair.

0:35:060:35:08

So Nigel will value the lot and we'll honour that amount.

0:35:080:35:12

The King John one would have probably been worth 100 to £120.

0:35:130:35:17

The other one's only worth 15 or £20. We won't get that sort of money now, I don't think.

0:35:170:35:22

So, whatever the two pieces make in the auction,

0:35:220:35:26

we'll stump up enough money to make up the auctioneer's full estimate of £140.

0:35:260:35:32

I'm naturally very disappointed, really.

0:35:320:35:35

I'm guaranteed £60 profit. Having said that, of course,

0:35:350:35:39

I don't know quite how we address it if it makes 200!

0:35:390:35:42

Steady, Mark!

0:35:420:35:43

You never know what might happen in an auction, but that's very optimistic.

0:35:430:35:47

Charlie began this leg battered and bruised by losses from the last auction. Despite this,

0:35:500:35:56

he still spent £132 on four items.

0:35:560:35:59

Front runner Mark's played it canny.

0:36:020:36:04

He's only bought three lots, spending £124.

0:36:040:36:07

But it's still all to play for, so let the bidding begin.

0:36:080:36:12

-Now, Charlie, here we go.

-Le moment critique!

0:36:120:36:15

For you, Charlie, it is.

0:36:150:36:18

So let's hope your warning sign does the business!

0:36:180:36:21

I've got four phone bids. One from my mother!

0:36:210:36:24

One from Auntie Flo!

0:36:240:36:26

-What's it worth? £30 away on that little sign.

-Certainly not.

0:36:270:36:31

20 to get on, then, surely?

0:36:310:36:32

-Ten.

-Surely at 20? 20 I'm bid.

0:36:320:36:34

25 I've got with me. 30, the lady's bid, seated now at 30.

0:36:340:36:38

At £30 I'm bid. 35 may I say?

0:36:380:36:41

-Don't be ridiculous!

-At 30, the lady's bid. 35 is next door.

0:36:410:36:44

40, madam?

0:36:440:36:45

-40. At 40.

-It's only washing its face.

0:36:450:36:49

-£40. Any more?

-Still so cheap.

0:36:490:36:51

Selling at £40.

0:36:510:36:53

-Somebody's overpaid!

-It's nothing!

0:36:530:36:56

That's a £5 profit. But after commission, that will turn another loss for Charlie.

0:36:560:37:02

I've only lost a pound!

0:37:020:37:04

Next up, the Staffordshire figures. The damaged princess Mark got free,

0:37:060:37:10

and the cracked King John

0:37:100:37:12

that suffered an even bigger breakage en route to the auction.

0:37:120:37:16

50 on the two. There they are. Surely?

0:37:160:37:18

20 to go, then? Surely. Ten is all I'm bid. 15, may I say?

0:37:180:37:22

At ten. 15. 20.

0:37:220:37:25

-Here we go.

-25.

0:37:250:37:26

Against you, sir. 25, the lady's bid. They sell. 30.

0:37:260:37:30

-At 30. 35, may I say?

-Can I bid?

0:37:300:37:33

At £30. Any more? All done at £30.

0:37:330:37:37

So, that's made a £50 loss,

0:37:370:37:41

but as we guaranteed the auctioneer's estimate of £140,

0:37:410:37:45

Mark will make a £60 profit.

0:37:450:37:47

I was hoping that was actually going to make more than the 140.

0:37:480:37:51

-I was still hopeful they might make 160 to 180.

-Not without reason.

0:37:510:37:55

Perhaps that custard set will put a smile on Mark's face,

0:37:580:38:01

particularly now the auctioneer has confirmed it's definitely Wedgwood.

0:38:010:38:05

Now, do hold it up nicely.

0:38:050:38:08

Drop it, preferably!

0:38:080:38:10

-What do you say?

-£50?

-£30 away for the Wedgwood.

0:38:100:38:13

-30.

-Don't be ridiculous! Don't be silly!

0:38:130:38:16

15 is here with me. At 15.

0:38:160:38:19

15 with him?!

0:38:190:38:20

15 is all I'm bid. 20, the lady on the back row. At 20,

0:38:200:38:23

the lady on the back row. 25, may I say?

0:38:230:38:25

-At 20, lady in the room.

-Bring the hammer down!

0:38:250:38:28

-£20.

-Thank you.

0:38:280:38:30

That's about right.

0:38:300:38:32

That's a healthy profit before commission.

0:38:320:38:36

Mark's toys can stay firmly in the pram.

0:38:360:38:39

Congratulations.

0:38:390:38:41

£16 profit there, Charlie.

0:38:410:38:42

The condition was too good, really.

0:38:420:38:45

Nothing like an old cracked record, is there?

0:38:460:38:50

Now for Charlie's cigar cutter.

0:38:500:38:53

-At 20 I'm bid. 25, may I say?

-That's something.

0:38:530:38:56

At £20 I'm bid. At 20. Two. 25.

0:38:560:38:59

-At 25 on the books.

-On the book?

-28 at the back of the room. 28.

0:38:590:39:03

-We're nearly there.

-30. 30 I've got here with me at 30.

0:39:030:39:06

Two do you want? 32. At 32 at the back of the room.

0:39:060:39:09

In the room at 32.

0:39:090:39:12

Away at £32. Number ten.

0:39:120:39:14

-You were lucky with that.

-You think I'm lucky with everything.

0:39:140:39:18

That small profit will turn another loss for Charlie after commission.

0:39:180:39:22

He needs Lady Luck to shine on him.

0:39:250:39:27

-I'm improving.

-You've been worse.

-If we do this for another six months, I might make a profit!

0:39:270:39:32

Mark pooh-poohed Charlie's silver rose bowl.

0:39:340:39:36

Will the bidders do the same?

0:39:360:39:38

Charles Hampshire is the next auctioneer to take the podium.

0:39:380:39:42

What shall we say? £90 to start me away for the bowl?

0:39:420:39:45

-I shouldn't think so.

-90 it is. 100.

0:39:450:39:48

And ten. 110.

0:39:480:39:49

120.

0:39:490:39:51

120, gentleman's bid in the aisle. Selling away.

0:39:510:39:54

£120.

0:39:540:39:56

I'm amazed with that, Charlie.

0:39:560:39:58

I can't believe somebody paid 120 for that. I should have bought it.

0:39:580:40:02

That's a £73 profit before commission.

0:40:020:40:06

No wonder it's sour grapes for Mark.

0:40:060:40:09

Congratulations, Charlie. A profit for a change.

0:40:090:40:12

Ooh, you're so catty!

0:40:120:40:14

Charlie's copy of a Napoleonic medal

0:40:160:40:18

takes its turn minus that letter! Naughty boy!

0:40:180:40:23

A 19th-century French electrotype medal,

0:40:230:40:25

depicting Napoleon I, Marie-Louise and the infant King of Rome.

0:40:250:40:31

-Shown behind me.

-Honestly!

0:40:310:40:33

Bit of interest again. Conflicting bids.

0:40:330:40:35

I can start it away at £25. £30 with me.

0:40:350:40:38

35, fresh bidder.

0:40:380:40:40

40. 45 clears the book. In the room at 45

0:40:400:40:44

-on my left.

-Let's see 50.

-50, fresh bidder. And five. 55.

0:40:440:40:47

60, sir? 55 seated on my left.

0:40:470:40:51

-I'll sell at £55.

-What's going on?

-Number 872.

0:40:510:40:55

I really don't like this at all!

0:40:550:40:57

Not happy you're getting beaten, I suppose!

0:40:590:41:01

A £35 profit. Charlie's back in the game, much to Mark's dismay!

0:41:010:41:05

This is not on, Charlie.

0:41:050:41:09

-Where's the congratulations?

-Sorry, but it's just so uncool.

0:41:090:41:13

It's unheard of!

0:41:130:41:14

Can Mark claw back his winnings with this Edwardian cellist's chair,

0:41:140:41:19

stolen from Charlie?

0:41:190:41:21

Cellist's chair. Nice music chair. Some musicians here.

0:41:210:41:24

-Are there?

-I've got a few bidders here. Some interest with me.

0:41:240:41:28

Start this at 30. 35, 38 with me.

0:41:280:41:31

Getting there.

0:41:310:41:33

£38. 40, straight in. 42 with me.

0:41:330:41:35

-And five. 48. 50 in the room.

-More attention.

-£50. Any advance now?

0:41:350:41:42

£50 seated.

0:41:420:41:45

-Ooh!

-That's a profit of a couple of quid, I suppose.

0:41:450:41:48

Bit less, maybe.

0:41:480:41:51

It's a £10 profit before commission,

0:41:510:41:54

keeping Mark out of the red. Just.

0:41:540:41:57

-It's not a loss.

-No, it isn't. I am king of the losses!

0:41:570:42:01

With the stress of the broken Staffordshire figure, it's been a tough auction for Mark.

0:42:030:42:08

He began this leg with £355.55,

0:42:080:42:12

and has made a profit after commission of £48.99,

0:42:120:42:16

giving him £404.54 to go on with.

0:42:160:42:20

But it's Charlie who reigns as champion today.

0:42:230:42:25

He started out with a depleted £215.34,

0:42:250:42:30

but after paying the auction costs,

0:42:300:42:32

has amassed a fantastic profit of £71.46

0:42:320:42:36

giving him £286.80 for the next leg.

0:42:360:42:40

This is Charlie's first sniff of glory this week

0:42:440:42:48

so it's definitely a chance to rub it in.

0:42:480:42:50

Profit! Profit!

0:42:500:42:53

And victory!

0:42:530:42:54

One out of four, Charlie.

0:42:540:42:56

I could come out every time and say victory.

0:42:560:42:59

I've won three times! You've won once.

0:42:590:43:01

-You did.

-It's not over yet.

0:43:010:43:03

Allow me, sir!

0:43:030:43:04

Thank you.

0:43:040:43:06

You just strap in. Happy?

0:43:070:43:09

-Happy.

-..as a loser can be!

0:43:090:43:12

You're allowed to win once in your life.

0:43:120:43:15

-After all, I'm not used to it.

-You're always a winner to me, Charlie!

0:43:150:43:19

Next, the final day,

0:43:200:43:22

and Charlie attempts to blow that £117 profit gap away.

0:43:220:43:26

Sorry!

0:43:290:43:30

And Mark is blowing the trumpet for Wales

0:43:320:43:35

as this competition hits its nail-biting finale.

0:43:350:43:38

We're fighting for the land of our fathers!
