0:00:02 > 0:00:04The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each,
0:00:04 > 0:00:06and one big challenge.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08- I'm going to declare war!- Why?
0:00:08 > 0:00:13Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?
0:00:13 > 0:00:15This is hard.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19- The aim is to trade up and hope each antique turns a profit.- Come on!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21But it's not as easy as you might think.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24- And things don't always go to plan. - Push!
0:00:24 > 0:00:28So, will they race off with a huge profit, or come to a grinding halt?
0:00:28 > 0:00:31- Whose side are you on?! - This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Experts Philip Serrell
0:00:37 > 0:00:41and Catherine Southon are travelling at speeds of up to 20 miles an hour!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46My plan is to do a Phil Serrell.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51You have this amazing ability to home in on something pretty trashy
0:00:51 > 0:00:54and you manage to turn it into gold!
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Well, she has a point!
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Despite being a fine arts man,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Philip's strategy seems to be the dafter, the better.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05If you've got bunions, if you put that in your shoe,
0:01:05 > 0:01:06and that makes a dent.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10I thought it was to do with unmentionable things to sheep or cattle, really!
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Catherine Southon, on the other hand, has an impeccable knowledge
0:01:13 > 0:01:16of scientific instruments and maritime art.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- I haven't even seen the other side of that.- Well, you've bought it now!
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Our esteemed experts started the week with £200 each,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27but one auction later, it's a very different story.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29GAVEL BANGS Come on!
0:01:29 > 0:01:35Catherine made a loss on the last leg and is left with just £186.90.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38I hate the way you're smiling now!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41After the different is making him a small fortune.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45He now has £339.54 to play with.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Oh, I'm sorry!
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- No, you're not!- I am, because I feel guilty now!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51SHE TUTS IN DISGUST
0:01:51 > 0:01:56This road trip takes us from Aboyne in the North East of Scotland,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58on to Glasgow and through the Lake District.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Final destination, Liverpool.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Today, we're kicking off in Perth and all going to plan,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07we should wind up on this leg in Paisley.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Hey, here we are!
0:02:09 > 0:02:13And we start off at a car boot sale.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- HE CHUCKLES - I hope these two know what they're doing!
0:02:20 > 0:02:22You always find tomato plants, don't you?
0:02:22 > 0:02:23And second-hand photographs.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- There we are.- Well done! - Beautifully placed!
0:02:26 > 0:02:31In amongst the weird and wonderful - and just plain awful -
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Catherine's tuned in to a classic design.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Bush radio. This is quite a collectable model.
0:02:37 > 0:02:43From the '60s to the '70s and then they reproduced this later on.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47This is one of the original ones, but I think it's seen better days.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Teenybopper favourite, the Bush radio is a style icon,
0:02:52 > 0:02:56and this model dates way back to 1959.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Is it working?- Before the battery ran out, it was working.- OK.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03And you're asking for 10? Could you not do eight on that?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- 10 is my... I'm really going to stick on that.- Oh, you are mean!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09No, I'm not mean. I'm just...
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Because it is in a really bad way, it's a bit bashed here.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- I'll come down to nine. - Could you go to five?- No.- Really?!
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Because I've already come down, you see.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- Shall we say seven, and then be friends?- 7.50.- Oh! 7.50.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Buying a Bush radio, an original Bush radio, for £7.50.- Go on, then.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- This lady knows what she's doing! - There we are.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Oh, my gosh! It's all falling apart!
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I'm going to let you put it back together again before I take it.
0:03:39 > 0:03:45Meanwhile, Philip's been drawn to four 19th-century box planes being sold as a set.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50That bit of wood there holds this blade in here
0:03:50 > 0:03:52and if you look just where my finger is there,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56you can see that there's the maker's name on the blade.
0:03:56 > 0:04:02- How much for them?- 12.- See, I was thinking of a fiver for the lot!
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Oh, no, no, no!
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Uh-uh.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Try again, then.- £12.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09- No, no, no.- Yes!
0:04:09 > 0:04:13I'll give you my best deal, I'll give you eight quid for them.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18- And I'll pay you now, in hard Scottish cash.- No.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21My goodness! They're a tough bunch up here in Perth!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24But can they resist a Philip Serrell sob story?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Listen, if I could tell you about my life,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I'm having a terrible time of it, right?
0:04:29 > 0:04:30I'm a long way from home.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- VIOLINS PLAY - I'm struggling to find anything.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36It's been really tough, really.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38I just think, if I could buy those for eight pounds,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I could just see myself coming out of it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44It would just help me on the way to recovery.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Oh, you are mean!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I'm not mean, I'm shrewd.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Is she ever! And now Catherine's come to rub salt in Philip's wounds.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55He is so mean, this chap.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58What you should do, when Phil Serrell comes up, is double your prices.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- This lady, trust me, she...- Stick to your guns!- She needs no advice!
0:05:02 > 0:05:07- I can feel myself getting kippered before I start!- Love it!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Right, off you go, you.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13There's four of them, four into 12 is three pounds each, isn't it?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Can I give you a fiver for those two,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17and then I promise I'll get out of your life for good!
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- OK!- You're an angel! There you are, my love. Thank you so much.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23- Thank you.- You're an angel.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27And just when it looks as if Philip's finally come out on top,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29there's treachery afoot!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Right, where were those planes?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Aha! How much could you sell those two for?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36For a bit of fun, could you do them for two?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Oooh!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42If I could get them at a cheaper price and have a little competition,
0:05:42 > 0:05:46because they are no way near as good and they are split and damaged.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51- Three?- Oh, go on, two. It would be such fun! Go on!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54OK, so I don't have to take them home.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I was going to say, you don't want these at home. Thank you so much.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Wonderful. Thank you.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Oh, Catherine, you are awful! But I like you!
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Are you ready? Here we go!
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- Come on, baby! Yay! Whoo! - That was quite smooth, for you.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Huh! And with that, we say a fond farewell to Perth
0:06:15 > 0:06:20and head towards the coastal village of South Queensferry.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25- Oh, I like this.- Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh! I am all shook up!
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- Have a good one, my love. - And you, I'll see you later. Bye!
0:06:29 > 0:06:33On this handsome cobbled street, you'll find Sea Kist,
0:06:33 > 0:06:37an antiques store which reflects the village's seafaring past.
0:06:37 > 0:06:43But owner, Jenny, wants to show Catherine her much-loved private collection at home.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46As it turns out,
0:06:46 > 0:06:50this South Queensferry girl is a lifelong collector.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Wow!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I was born and brought up just along the coast a little bit,
0:06:57 > 0:07:01so it's also always said home to me, you know.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Oh, that's lovely! That's really nice.- It's great.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07You've got a fantastic view of it from your kitchen window.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- I have, yeah. - You are really passionate about this.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11I'm passionate about the bridge,
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- but I'm passionate about the human aspect of the bridge.- Right.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17It's more than just the girders.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21It's the fact that other people come down here,
0:07:21 > 0:07:25they see the bridge, and all these things that I collect
0:07:25 > 0:07:28are little things that people want to take away with them.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32They want to take something home of the bridge.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35You know, with that image on it. And that's the bit that fascinates me.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- This is stuff that is heading towards the shop, eventually.- Right.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Now, my eye is drawn to these. Nice iron dividers.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47I would say they're probably for a map or something like that.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Well, unlike Catherine, I'm no maritime expert.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56But I can tell that, simply put, dividers measure distance.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57I would say that once upon a time,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00there would have been a screw in there, an adjusting screw.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- But I like them.- Yeah, they're nice.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05And then this, parallel rule.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I would say that something like this is really, again, for mapping.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I love the way you can see how it's been folded down
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- and it's got a lovely mark. A nice sign of wear, there.- Mm.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19This particular parallel rule was produced by Captain Fields,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23who, in the 19th century, improved on the 300-year-old design
0:08:23 > 0:08:27by marking degrees on its outer edges.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28How much are you wanting for these?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I was thinking about £25 each for them.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Each?- Mm.- Bit damaged there.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Now, could we do a bit of deal on these,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40bearing in mind they've both got problems?
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- They have, yes. Yes. - Quite major problems.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Quite major problems, right! Right.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I think we could come down to 35 for the two of them.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Can we do 20?
0:08:53 > 0:08:5522?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57O! 20?
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- I think 22 would be fair. - 22 is very fair.- OK.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I'll be happy with that. Thank you so much.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07While Catherine now has three auction lots
0:09:07 > 0:09:12under her polka dot belt, Philip is lagging behind with just one.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- Hi, lovely, how are you doing? - Lovely!- Look at that, wing mirrors.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19You see, they're not for lipstick after all, are they?!
0:09:21 > 0:09:25But as they say, tomorrow is another day.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Quite.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30The boy and girl are heading off next to what was once reputed
0:09:30 > 0:09:32to be the second city of the Empire.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Where else but robust, exciting Glasgow,
0:09:36 > 0:09:41where our experts will continue to shop till they drop.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Now, that is amazing, isn't it? - We're not in Sydney, are we?!
0:09:45 > 0:09:49So far, Philip's embarrassingly spent just five pounds,
0:09:49 > 0:09:54leaving him over £330 for the day ahead...
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Are you going to spend a decent amount of money today, Philip Serrell?
0:09:57 > 0:10:01You just want me to lose a decent amount of money! That's what you really want.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02That would be quite handy!
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Crash and burn Serrell, that's all you want, isn't it?
0:10:05 > 0:10:11..whereas Catherine's picked up three auction lots for just £31.50
0:10:11 > 0:10:13and still has £150 in the kitty.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- Are you going to do some serious buying?- Might do.- Might do! Oooh!
0:10:20 > 0:10:26Philip's next port of call is simply named the Glasgow Antiques Centre.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29So you're treading the boards, and I'm off to an antiques centre.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Aren't you going to drop me off? - No! The walk will keep you warm.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Thanks a lot(!) Make sure you buy something decent!
0:10:36 > 0:10:41- It's up that hill somewhere. - Thanks!- John, how are you?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Are you sure this place is big enough? Blimey O'Reilly!
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Suffice to say, our hero is in the right place to find something unusual,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53but what to choose, Philip, what to choose?!
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Oh, I love that.
0:10:54 > 0:11:00It's a kettle drum. But these things make great coffee tables, you know.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03You can imagine that with either a glass top or even a copper top.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05It would be fantastic.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08And the way you tune it is not by just whacking it in the middle,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- but you... - TAPS DRUM
0:11:10 > 0:11:12..go all the way round the outside.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- TAPS DRUM - John?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18How much is this old thing in the corner?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Would it be as much as 100 quid? - Definitely.- It would be?- Yes.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25So, do you think there's a maker's name on it anywhere?
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Look, it's got Liverpool. This is clearly Ringo Starr's first drum, isn't it?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Absolutely. Look, Liverpool!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35What's the best price you think you'd do for this?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- What's the very best?- The bottom? £100.- Is that it finished?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42It's not even worth offering him 90 quid for it, is it?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- No, definitely not. - I think it's a cool thing.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51The thing is, there's every chance that everybody else is going to think I'm stark raving bonkers.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- What can I say?! - 100 quid, go on.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Steady, Philip!
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I think I can see the dust coming out of your wallet!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Having travelled on foot,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Catherine's finally reached her next destination,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09the world's oldest surviving music hall,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12right here in Glasgow's Merchant City.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16This important piece of our history is called the Britannia Panopticon.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Although for 60 years, it was closed and virtually forgotten.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Wow!
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Here we are. So it all happened here?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Its restoration, even its very survival,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30is thanks to this woman - Judith Bowers.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34This, all round here, it makes me think of a ship.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36This is almost like a galleried stern up here.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Well, it certainly has a lot of shipbuilding behind it,
0:12:40 > 0:12:44because it was moonlighting shipbuilders that built the balcony itself.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Oh, right. Aha!
0:12:46 > 0:12:51Founded in 1857, the Britannia was an instant success,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54with more than a thousand of Glasgow's East Enders
0:12:54 > 0:12:58crammed in four times a day to see saucy dancing girls,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00singers and comic turns.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05It was closed temporarily in 1905 because everybody was leaving
0:13:05 > 0:13:09the old Victorian musical halls to go to the newfangled variety theatres.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Right.- And during its closure, they modified the building
0:13:13 > 0:13:16by converting the attic into a rooftop carnival,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18waxworks and freak show,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22and the basement under the public house into a zoo with animal cages.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Right, to try and get a wider audience?- Yes.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27And that is why it became known as Panopticon -
0:13:27 > 0:13:30"pan" meaning everything, "opti", to see.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33All in one building. That was very clever thinking, wasn't it?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37One third of our audience was boys aged between nine and 13.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41And their favourite sport was to try and wee over the top of the balcony
0:13:41 > 0:13:43and hit the comic on the stage below.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Oh, my word!
0:13:44 > 0:13:48There's a great story from 1904 about the ladies' orchestra
0:13:48 > 0:13:50that used to sit underneath the balcony.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53And they apparently used to pray before going into the orchestra bar
0:13:53 > 0:13:55that the boys above had full bladders.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Because if they didn't, they didn't have enough pressure to hit the actor
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- and it would trickle down to them instead.- Oh, my word!
0:14:01 > 0:14:02- Oh, that's ghastly! - Pretty rough house!
0:14:02 > 0:14:08But one performer not intimidated by this tough Glasgow audience
0:14:08 > 0:14:13was a 16-year-old Stan Laurel, who made his world debut right here.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Stan managed to make it through one joke and, apparently,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19the audience thought it was pretty awful.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24So Stan apparently started to make his exit from the stage,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27so he took off his dad's best hat to take a bow,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30but as he did so, he fumbled it
0:14:30 > 0:14:33and dropped it in a kind of familiar today, Stan Laurel fashion.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35And the audience started to titter.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37He stepped forward to collect the hat
0:14:37 > 0:14:39and he kicked it into the orchestra bar instead.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41The audience tittered a little bit louder.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45He's now sidestepping off the stage, and the stage manager,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49George, came on with the stage hook to get the trapeze bar down.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52The hook caught in the back of Stan's dad's best frock coat
0:14:52 > 0:14:54and tore it clean up the back.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55And that was it.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58The audience was in absolute hysterics and the rest,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00as they say, is history.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04By the 1930s, music halls were closing
0:15:04 > 0:15:06and cinema was taking its place.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10In fact, Glasgow had more cinemas per head of population
0:15:10 > 0:15:12than any other European city.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Having been closed since 1938,
0:15:16 > 0:15:20the venue finally reopened its doors in 2003
0:15:20 > 0:15:23as the Britannia Panopticon.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25So, really, this is all down to you?
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Well, and a stalwart bunch of volunteers as well.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31You should be extremely proud of this,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34because this is a wonderful piece of Glasgow's heritage, isn't it?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Judith, thank you so much. It's been such a treat.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Auction time is looming,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45but Glasgow offers our experts one last shopping opportunity.
0:15:47 > 0:15:53Ruthven Mews comprises 11 individual antiques stores in one arcade.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56So, Catherine and Philip should be spoiled for choice.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01What I wanted to look at were the truncheon, which is there...
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I think that's purely ceremonial,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05because it's had a painted handle, hasn't it?
0:16:05 > 0:16:09And it's had VR there, which is Victoria Regina.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10In the Victorian era,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14the policeman's truncheon was essentially his warrant card,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17as the Royal Crest attached to it indicated his authority.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21And when said truncheon left official service,
0:16:21 > 0:16:25often with the person who used it, the Crest was sometimes removed.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28So I'd quite like that, really.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34But I'm thinking... Can I have a look at the bell as well, please?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36And I'll tell you what I'm thinking.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Well, this would be the same date as this, wouldn't it?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I think it could be a similar sort of date. 100 years ago, anyway.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46- Yes, sort of 1880, something like that.- I think so.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50I think, at auction, that that is between £15 and £25 worth.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53And I think that is between £30 and £50 worth.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- I'd like to give you 50 quid the two.- I wouldn't like to take it, though!
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Well, I appreciate that,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01but life's full of imponderable negotiations, isn't it?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I'll take 55 for the two.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09Can I toss you for it? Because I always win if I toss for it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10OK, 50 or 60.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16My goodness, Philip's lost for words! Though not for long.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19So, the best I can give you is 50 quid.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22And I'd love to buy it for that, but I can't give you any more, really.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Call it 55, I would just do a deal at that.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26That's a good reduction on them.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- If you can say 50, I'll have them off you now.- Go on, then.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31You're a gentleman, sir! Can you count that out?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I think there's probably just 50 quid there.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Exactly. You had it all planned! - Right. Thank you.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43And whilst Philip embraces the long arm of the law,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Catherine's about to hit the bottle.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Stephen, hello. I'm just wondering about this here.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I'm interested in your little hip flask there.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Is that silver plate on the top?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I think it is. But it's a little cup, a little telescopic cup.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Yeah, that intrigues me. - Quite unusual.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04So when you say it's telescopic? Oh, that's quite nice, isn't it?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07So you could have more than you bargained for!
0:18:07 > 0:18:09What could you do on that?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13£20. Can you do 15 on it?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I'll stick at 20.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- Can we meet halfway and say 18? - I'll stick at 20. It's a nice thing.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I'm happy with that. I think that's a fair price.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Now, from a fair price to a fair cop.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Philip's found something nautical, but nice.
0:18:31 > 0:18:37- Now, I can't sell ivory unless it's pre-1947.- It's 19th century.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- I would think it's 1850, 1860? - Something like that.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41A 19th-century sailor's sat-nav, isn't it?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44You'd have been on your vessel, going around Cape Horn or wherever,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- and you'd have had your various charts out.- That's right.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51And this would have been used to work out or plot where you were
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- and what your route is. - That's right.- It's 75, is it?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- What's the best you can do on that? - I could do a bit more on that.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58I could do it for 45.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00For this game, I've got to try and give you 30 quid for it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Why don't we split the difference and make it 35?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I'll give you £30 for it, that's what I'll do,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- because I think it's fascinating. - OK.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11And the real fun thing is that that's really Catherine's thing.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I've only got one worry, and that's, like...
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Catherine Southon is, you know, a well-known expert
0:19:19 > 0:19:23in sort of marine and scientific instruments.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27And this was six inches under her nose. Why didn't she buy it?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I hope it's not worrying time!
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Thank you ever so much.
0:19:31 > 0:19:37Shopping done, our experts can postpone their auction showdown no longer.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Catherine rolled up her sleeves, got stuck in,
0:19:41 > 0:19:45and spent just £51.50 on four auction lots.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51The '60s Bush radio, the bargain wooden box planes,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55the Captain Fields parallel rule with the iron dividers,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58and the hip flask with telescopic cup.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Philip, meanwhile, prised open his stiffened wallet
0:20:03 > 0:20:06to spent £185 on five auction lots...
0:20:07 > 0:20:10..the compact kettle drum, the 19th century school bell,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13the Victorian truncheon,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15the ivory naval sceptre,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18and the other pair of wooden box planes.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23It's been a hard fought contest, but let's take the gloves off
0:20:23 > 0:20:26and finally find out what our experts really think.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30The radio, it's not my sort of thing.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32He's a little bit concerned about the kettle drum,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34it is a completely risky item.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35I could be in trouble,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38and if it doesn't do well, it's all back to square one, isn't it?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41This could be my chance to take over.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44After teeing off in Perth,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47this leg ends up at an auction in Paisley.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52In the 19th century, it was renowned for being the centre of Britain's weaving industry,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55which is where paisley, the fabric, gets its name,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58as this is where it was originally produced.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Look at that, that is stunning.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03It's like a thunderbird up on the roof.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08But our next and final stop is the auction house of Collins and Paterson.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11I know you so well, and I know that with that drum, somehow,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14that is probably going to double its money.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Oh, get in there.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18And I will probably cry.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I'll lend you my handkerchief.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23With the room full of canny Scots looking for a bargain,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27auctioneer Stephen Maxwell is about to kick things off,
0:21:27 > 0:21:31but, first, how does he rate the chances of our experts?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34The star of the lot for me would have to be the kettle drum.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35In for a wee surprise.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39The most unusual item would be the hip flask with the telescopic lid,
0:21:39 > 0:21:40haven't see that one before.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43The vintage planes should sell at a price, all be it,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47I wouldn't go booking a holiday off the back of the proceeds.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52So, without any more ado, let the auction begin.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56First up, it's Philip's naval sceptre.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I've got a horrible feeling of impending doom about this.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02So, we'll start here straight in at £25.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I'm looking at losing about eight quid at the minute.
0:22:04 > 0:22:0830, thank you, £30 with me, 32, 35 with me.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Any advance at £35?
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Go on, then, we're selling then, fair warning, at £35, gone.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19A £5 profit before commission, not the most promising of starts.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Well done.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Oh, thanks for that.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Next, it's Catherine's hip flask,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29has she had a nip, do you think, or is she just dropping off?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Nice wee item, this, what can I say?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Nice wee item.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37At £20 I have with me, £20. 22, thank you.
0:22:37 > 0:22:3925, 28, 30 with me.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43No, you're out, with me at 30, with my commission bid at £30,
0:22:43 > 0:22:44any advance at £30?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47On it at 32, now, for the hip flask 32 has it.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50For £32.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Not quite the price Catherine was hoping for,
0:22:53 > 0:22:54but a very respectable start.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Philip's next lot is up,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01and I have to say, it certainly rings a bell.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03For £20, I have with me £20,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07with me at 22, again 25's on the net, with me, 28.
0:23:07 > 0:23:0928, well done, Philip.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12And we're selling it at £28.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Mmm, maybe Philip's lucky streak is coming to an end.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Could you wipe that really nasty smile off your face?
0:23:20 > 0:23:21We're in this together.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Putting Catherine's maritime smarts to the test now,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29her dividers and parallel rule are coming up.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32A fair age, I would say, to the dividers, I have to say.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36We start here, on commission again, at £25, I have with me £25,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39£28 with me.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Come on.- £28, seems cheap at that, £28.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45£30, thank you, for £32,
0:23:45 > 0:23:4835's on the net, 38, £40 on there.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Keep going.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- Now I think it's with me at £42. - Any more? Any more?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Well done, then we're selling them fair warning at £42.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Ah, well, it's still a profit, so, come on, Catherine,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02pull yourself together, love.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Time to see what the crowd make of Philip's truncheon.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07I'm getting nervous now.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09It's a nice condition, I have to say, Victorian baton,
0:24:09 > 0:24:13we'll come straight in again here, on commission at £25,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I have with me at £25, and 30's on the net.
0:24:17 > 0:24:2032's back with me, 35 now is on the net, at 38 with me.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22At £38 with me for the baton,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25at £38.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Oh, I give up.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29SHE LAUGHS
0:24:29 > 0:24:31You are horrid sometimes.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Now, this should be interesting,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37both Philip and Catherine have both bought a pair of box planes,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39but who will make the most money?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Catherine's up first.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I really hope they've got them muddled up,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46because yours were far better than mine, the junky ones I bought.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Two planes there, what can we say about these?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- This is going to be funny. - Do I have £18?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- We have 15 here, 18, thank you.- 18, come on.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I'd love it if mine make more than yours.
0:24:57 > 0:25:0025's on the net, 28's with me.
0:25:00 > 0:25:0430 now is on the net, the net has it at £30, at £30.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06A £28 profit, not bad at all,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09but can our resident jammy old devil do better?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Watch and learn Philip Serrell, watch and learn.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16£20 I have.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I really don't want them to make 30.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Do we have 25? I have 28.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Oh, no, please, don't make 30.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Back in, £30 on the net, £30 has a bid on the net.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Still made more profit than you.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29At £30.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Oh, oh, don't look at me like that. - That's really horrible, Philip.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Well, you started it.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37So far, Catherine has the lead at this auction,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39but how will the bidders react
0:25:39 > 0:25:43to her slightly worse-for-wear Bush radio?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- Still in working order, it's lot number 190.- Working order.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48It's in fine condition as well,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50with me £20 on commission, 22, thank you.
0:25:50 > 0:25:5425 with me, and 30 still with me, the net's out now.
0:25:54 > 0:25:5630, come on.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- 32, 35, at £35, it seems to sit at £35.- Well done.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02It seems to sit at 35, for £35.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Well, that's the last time I pooh-pooh a car boot sale, gosh.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Before commission, Catherine's just made £27.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10That's good.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14You, my love, are right back up there, aren't you?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Last, but certainly not least,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20it's Philip's quirkiest purchase yet, the kettle drum.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25If your drum does really well, I'm just going to be so cross.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Why?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Because it doesn't deserve to.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31How dare you?!
0:26:31 > 0:26:34A very attractive item here is a kettle drum here,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36again, a lot of interest here.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- A lot? - We'll go straight in at £150.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Oh!
0:26:41 > 0:26:43150, I have, do we have 160?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- 160's on the net. - It's going to turn you.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47180's on the net, 190's with me.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50£200 is on the net, 220's with me.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- How do you do it?- 220 we are now.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55No, I think we're all done, then.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00- We're selling, then, any advance at £220?- Well done, Philip.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Cor, Philip Serrell, a man marching to the beat of his own drum,
0:27:04 > 0:27:08and making a profit of £120.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Inside, I'm crying.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12But outside I'm smiling.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Well, what an auction,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Catherine started with £186.90,
0:27:17 > 0:27:22and after auction costs, has made a profit of £62.48,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25giving her £249.38 to carry forward.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Philip, meanwhile, started with £339.54,
0:27:32 > 0:27:36and after action costs, he's up £102.82,
0:27:36 > 0:27:43so, with £442.36 now in the kitty, he's still firmly in the lead.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48I would take it off to you, Phil Serrell, you are one cool cookie.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- Not a gun to shoot me, eh? - Not a gun, no.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52You'll be fine, you'll be fine,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54listen, this can just turn in one moment.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58It ain't over till it's over, and there's a long way to go yet, Serrell.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Yeah, the fat man hasn't started singing yet.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- Ready?- Left.- Wah-hoo! I don't know why I'm so happy.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- No, I don't either. - You made mincemeat out of me.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08Keep taking your tablets, ha!
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Later on, we're heading to the Borders,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13where Philip's watching his pennies.
0:28:13 > 0:28:165p on the floor, I'll toss you for it.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17It's superglued down.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Catherine is...
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Oh, oooh.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23..paralysed with indecision...
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I might turn away and regret this.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27You probably will.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Oh, don't say that.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31..and the competition reaches fever pitch.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36It's mine, I said I'd have it, and I've got it.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37That's all coming up later,
0:28:37 > 0:28:41but for now, we're amongst the gorgeous Scottish scenery,
0:28:41 > 0:28:47where antiques experts Catherine Southon and Philip Serrell are hitting near average speeds.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Do you know, they've got their own breed of cow up here?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- You are full of wonderful facts. - Of rubbish, yeah.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54You said it.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55Their mission, buy low, sell high,
0:28:55 > 0:28:59and do whatever it takes to beat each other come auction time.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03It's just not fair, you are well ahead, I have to beat you.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05So far, Philip's 35 years of experience
0:29:05 > 0:29:09have led him to make choices which are really quite mad.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14There's every chance everyone else is going to think I'm stark raving bonkers.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15What can I say?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17But much to Catherine's consternation,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20he's cleaned up at auction, not once...
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- Oh!- ..but twice,
0:29:23 > 0:29:26which is why his original £200
0:29:26 > 0:29:31has now grown into an impressive £442.36.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34I'm going to be positive and turn it all around,
0:29:34 > 0:29:36and today is going to be the day.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Meanwhile, newcomer Catherine Southon has employed various strategies
0:29:40 > 0:29:43in order to beat her middle-aged nemesis.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45She's been feisty...
0:29:45 > 0:29:46Give this poor man some more money.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47Whose side are you on?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Not on yours, that's for sure!
0:29:49 > 0:29:51..she's been cheeky...
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Where's your daughter, does she give better prices?
0:29:54 > 0:29:58..and she's been up to no good at a car boot sale.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01What you should do when Phil Serrell comes up is double your prices.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05Ha, but even so, her initial £200 stake
0:30:05 > 0:30:08has only increased by £49.38,
0:30:08 > 0:30:10that means Philip's £200 in the lead, wow.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14I'm going to be seriously competitive now, Philip.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17I cannot stand competitive women.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21This road trip is taking us from the north-east of Scotland in Aboyne,
0:30:21 > 0:30:23across the border to England,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26through the Lake District and on to Liverpool.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28We're kicking off in Glenluce,
0:30:28 > 0:30:32a small village in the county of Dumfries and Galloway,
0:30:32 > 0:30:34and we'll end this leg with an auction in Carlisle.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41Without a doubt, Glenluce is the perfect place to get away from it all.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45This is literally in the middle of nowhere.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Antiques farm!
0:30:47 > 0:30:51That doesn't look very promising, does it?
0:30:52 > 0:30:54- Ciao.- God bless, darling.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I'll see you later, wish me luck.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Well, not too much.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00This family business began in Wales,
0:31:00 > 0:31:05but 23 years ago they decided to move lock, stock and barrel to Glenluce.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Today, Chris runs the show.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Oh!
0:31:11 > 0:31:13I think I might actually have to buy him, he's pretty cute.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- Is he for sale?- Oh, we could work out a price.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Right, I'm in desperate need of a bargain.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23They're quite unusual there, the old slides.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27So, these are the lantern slides that you drop in to the magic lantern?
0:31:27 > 0:31:29- And then you project it onto the screen?- Mm-hm.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Oh, they're quite interesting, aren't they?
0:31:32 > 0:31:36The magic lantern was a great favourite of the Victorians,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39originally powered by candlelight,
0:31:39 > 0:31:44it projected images from fairy tales to striptease,
0:31:44 > 0:31:47although there's nothing saucy here, I fancy.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50They're all of dinosaurs, these are pterodactyls.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51How much did you want for these?
0:31:51 > 0:31:5350 on the set.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54- 50?- £50.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Oh, wow.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58But there's some of them can fetch that each,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01we sold one last year for 300.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- Really, what was that an image of? - Just one slide.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05An erotic image.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Well, that's the thing, all these naughty ones,
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- they're the ones that people want, aren't they?- That's it, that's it.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Yeah, but that's the thing, these ones I think I'd be taking a bit of a risk.
0:32:14 > 0:32:1725, that'll give you a chance, how's that?
0:32:17 > 0:32:20I don't think I could go any more than 20.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Oh, go on then, we'll do it for 20.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27- £20, we've got a deal on that one? - That'll give you a good chance, that's a deal.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30But Catherine's not finished yet, pate mould, anyone?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32It's quite nice with the grass on it, isn't it?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35I could do you £10, it would be the very best on it.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38I think ten is still going to be a bit hard for me.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Am I your worst customer?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Today, so far, yeah.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Am I your only customer today?
0:32:44 > 0:32:45HE LAUGHS
0:32:46 > 0:32:49In the nearby market town of Newton Stewart,
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Philip has found the Douglas House Antiques Centre,
0:32:53 > 0:32:56with young Dave here, to help him part with some cash.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58That contraption on the top there,
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- would it be possible to get that down and have a look at it? - Yeah, no problem.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Actually, it's a wool winder, priced at £50.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09It's quite heavy, actually.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10How do I get this down?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12It was.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14Oh, nearly.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Oh, now it's broken, perhaps Philip can negotiate a discount.
0:33:19 > 0:33:25What happens is, you put spools or reels of wool on there,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28and then they come up there, through there, on there,
0:33:28 > 0:33:32and then you turn this, and then as you turn it,
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- it measures, I think, the length of yarn.- Yes.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39And when you've got to the appropriate length in a scheme,
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- that bell rings, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45This one is in awful condition,
0:33:45 > 0:33:48because this ebonised handle is split,
0:33:48 > 0:33:52the base is just gone to the dogs.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54I'm going to have to be really mean.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- Really, really, really, really mean. - Sounds like it's going to hurt.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Well, it is going to hurt, because in my eyes it's like 20 quid's worth
0:34:01 > 0:34:02- in the condition that it's in.- Oh!
0:34:02 > 0:34:05I'm going to think about that, I like that a lot.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10Much like Philip, Catherine's reluctant to put her hand in her pocket,
0:34:10 > 0:34:13so now Chris is trying to seduce her with Lalique,
0:34:13 > 0:34:15that's glassware, by the way.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- Is it Rene, or is it after? - I think it's probably after.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22It's a big old lump of Lalique, it's something you want to throw at a burglar.
0:34:22 > 0:34:27I don't know about that. Rene Lalique was a French designer and manufacturer
0:34:27 > 0:34:29famous for his glass creations,
0:34:29 > 0:34:32from perfume bottles to chandeliers, to car mascots.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34And despite his death in 1945,
0:34:34 > 0:34:39the company he named after himself continues to flourish.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41What did you say on that? 320.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Could it be 100?
0:34:43 > 0:34:48It couldn't, the very, very, very best on it would be 130.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51- Can I think?- You can.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Inspired to carry on shopping,
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Catherine's next object of interest is a very unusual paperweight.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00That is a section out of the cable
0:35:00 > 0:35:05that runs from Great Britain to America, the first radio cable.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08That's the copper core, that's where your signal would go through.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10I find that quite interesting.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14I love things like this - real, real, real conversation pieces.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15It could be a tenner.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Can it be five?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18It can be five pounds.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- Can it be less than five? - It can't be less than five.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- Can you polish it up for me as well, then, Chris?- I could do.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Do you want me to go and get a bit of wire wool and just do it down?
0:35:26 > 0:35:31Actually, if you could find a couple of bidders for it at the auction that would be really helpful.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Unlike Catherine, Philip is completely focused
0:35:34 > 0:35:35on a very Scottish collectable.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Mauchlin is this transfer-printed little wood ware,
0:35:39 > 0:35:41and this is a little money box.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44We've got another bit in here, haven't we?
0:35:44 > 0:35:46It's of Mauchlin new pier.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48It would have had a little top glass in it, wouldn't it?
0:35:48 > 0:35:51And the age of these is probably around about 1900, 1905,
0:35:51 > 0:35:53I would have thought.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Named after the town it was made in,
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Mauchlin was produced from the 1820s onwards
0:35:58 > 0:36:00and was sold all over the world,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03though production came to an abrupt halt in 1933
0:36:03 > 0:36:06when the factory burnt to the ground.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08I've got to come to some decisions here.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Can you take my 20 quid on that contraption?
0:36:11 > 0:36:14I was hoping for 40.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17I'll be wanting to bid you 20 quid again for the two of those.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- Oh, heck. - It's a hard day this, isn't it?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24What about if I give you 50 quid for the whole lot?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26- Yeah, OK.- All right? - OK, we'll go for that.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30You're a gentleman, thank you very much. I'd better count some money out now, hadn't I?
0:36:30 > 0:36:35Meanwhile, Catherine's on the prowl for something off-beat.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37A carved hippo's quite wacky, piece of ebony.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39It's quite nice, actually, isn't it?
0:36:39 > 0:36:40But he's got a comical look to him,
0:36:40 > 0:36:42like he'd sort of just lie there on the mud.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45I know, you almost feel sorry for him.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47What do you want for this?
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Well, I was going to ask you 40, but then I thought maybe 30,
0:36:50 > 0:36:53then I thought probably better to ask you 20.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Ten? And we have a really good deal, Chris?
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Oh, go on, then, ten pounds, you can have it.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02- Yes! I think Philip would like that, actually.- It maybe looks like him on a hot day.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07So, that's three auction lots in the one shop,
0:37:07 > 0:37:09but our girl still has Lalique on her mind.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13I don't know what to do.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16You've spent what, £35 out here?
0:37:16 > 0:37:20So, if we were to say 150 on the lot.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22This is my proposition to you -
0:37:22 > 0:37:26£135 for everything, that's pretty good.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28140 and we'll do a deal.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30That's another fiver.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- Wish me luck.- Good luck.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36I think you'll do all right on it, I think you will.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38How sweet.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Now, we have the magic lantern slides, the paperweight,
0:37:41 > 0:37:43the hippo, and the Lalique dish.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45What more could a girl ask for?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Oh, Chris, Chris?
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Yes?
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- You know that grouse pate thing that we looked at?- Right?
0:37:52 > 0:37:53How's a pound?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Seeing as you've bought everything, go on, then.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- A pound?- A pound will do it. - There we are.- Thank you very much.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00I love it here.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03A good day's shopping draws to an end,
0:38:03 > 0:38:05and we wish our weary experts a good night.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13With the sun absolutely nowhere in sight,
0:38:13 > 0:38:18our intrepid duo are once again touring the B-roads of Scotland.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23Right, today I want you to just buy pretty, lovely things.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Moi, do pretty?- Yeah.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28So far, slow starter Philip has only spent £50.
0:38:28 > 0:38:35He's still got £390 resting in a wallet that seldom sees daylight.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38- Do me a favour.- What?
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Don't buy anything that you're going to make into a cable.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43Ha-ha!
0:38:43 > 0:38:46But Catherine has been a woman possessed,
0:38:46 > 0:38:50spending £141 with five auction lots ready to go,
0:38:50 > 0:38:52and £108 still in the kitty.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Gretna Green! We're in Gretna Green. Shall we go and get married?
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Mmm, bigamy.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04So, after the ceremony,
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Philip and Catherine are heading from Glenluce
0:39:07 > 0:39:10to the small market town of Castle Douglas.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14I'm conscious that I've got a lot of money to spend.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17So spend it, Philip, break the habit of a lifetime.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Following Catherine's advice, Philip's off to the High Street.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Morning.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Lady with a duster, that's a dangerous thing, isn't it?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Very necessary in here.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30So, as Anne continues to dust her knick-knacks,
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Philip's search for the daft and the different continues.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36What will he come up with today?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39This is just a very simple cutlery box,
0:39:39 > 0:39:41you put a bottle of wine in there,
0:39:41 > 0:39:44and then it becomes a wine carrier to your table,
0:39:44 > 0:39:46what a cool thing that is, then.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50And that's what people do with these, because, you know,
0:39:50 > 0:39:54a Georgian wine carrier is worth hundreds or thousands of pounds
0:39:54 > 0:39:57if it's a really, really seriously good one.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59He's not just a pretty face, you know.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02But can he get a deal from Anne of the duster?
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Well, the lowest I could go would be 30.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Can you meet me halfway and I'll have it?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09£25 and I'll have it off you.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10- Right.- Is that all right?
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- Yes, yes.- You're an angel, thank you so much.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14But do I get two bottles of wine with it as well?
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- Oh, what are you like? - It's a fair request, isn't it?
0:40:17 > 0:40:20No, he's not off to the pub,
0:40:20 > 0:40:23he's off on the scrounge at the restaurant across the road.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25- Carlos, I'm after a favour. - Yes, of course.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28I wonder if I could scrounge two empty wine bottles off you?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- Yes, no problem. - Have you got any that I could try?
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- Absolutely.- What a good man he is.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- They may be too big, if not, I'll get you something smaller.- Look at that.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37- Absolutely perfect.- Look at that.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Now, there you are, that's what I call a wine bottle carrier.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Thank you, my lovely, take care. See you soon, bye-bye!
0:40:43 > 0:40:45What a smoothie.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Just six miles down the road,
0:40:47 > 0:40:51Catherine's popped in to the small but busy town of Dalbeattie,
0:40:51 > 0:40:53which, despite its size,
0:40:53 > 0:40:57boasts its own museum representing more than 300 of local history.
0:40:57 > 0:41:02And this eclectic collection was put together by a much loved local,
0:41:02 > 0:41:0575-year-old, Tommy Henderson.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- Hello.- Hello, are you coming in for a wee look?
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- Wonderful, I'm Catherine, hello. - I'm Tommy Henderson.- Hello, Tommy.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Chairman and the man responsible for this place.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- Are you?- Aye, it was a dream come true.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- Did you start it? - Yeah, I started it 25 years ago.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25And the objects that you get I should think are donations?
0:41:25 > 0:41:26It's all donated except this.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33All the children get to play on this.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42And everybody that comes in, all the kids,
0:41:42 > 0:41:44and they sit on my bear as well.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Despite there being thousands of objects,
0:41:47 > 0:41:52not only does Tommy know each and every one intimately...
0:41:52 > 0:41:54You've got your butter pots here,
0:41:54 > 0:41:55this is the shovel with the holes,
0:41:55 > 0:41:58and we don't forget our wee milk bottle.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01..there's usually a story attached.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05One of the very first items that was handed in was this washing machine here,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08by Mrs Waller across the road, she found it in her out house.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12We have since discovered it's over a hundred years old.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15It's hard to believe it's still working.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Is it? Oh!
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Wow!
0:42:19 > 0:42:22And there's the Titanic exhibit.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Because, as it turns out, the ship's first officer,
0:42:26 > 0:42:30William McMaster Murdoch, was a Dalbeattie man.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32If you remember in the last film,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35that's the gentleman they made look like a coward.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36And he was a local?
0:42:36 > 0:42:38He lived a hundred yards down the road.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41We know for a fact that he was a local hero,
0:42:41 > 0:42:47so his cousins took the film people to task,
0:42:47 > 0:42:50and we got a £5,000 apology
0:42:50 > 0:42:54to say sorry to his family for defamation of character.
0:42:54 > 0:42:59And the apology letter takes pride of place in the collection.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03"In the minds and hearts of filmmakers and audiences all over the world,
0:43:03 > 0:43:08"Officer Murdoch is one of the film's most humane, selfless,
0:43:08 > 0:43:11"and sensitively-drawn characters."
0:43:11 > 0:43:16- Thank you very much, that was our local hero.- Mm-hm.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20For two decades now, Tommy has been sharing his passion for history
0:43:20 > 0:43:23with visitors from around the world,
0:43:23 > 0:43:28and in June 2009 his hard work was quite rightly recognised
0:43:28 > 0:43:31with the Queen's Award for Voluntary Services.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34I didn't realise half the town had wrote in
0:43:34 > 0:43:38to put me and the museum forward, I had no idea.
0:43:38 > 0:43:42It was the biggest surprise in my life when the Lord Lieutenant walked in that door,
0:43:42 > 0:43:45and you could have picked me up off the floor.
0:43:45 > 0:43:49- Really?- That's the first recognition we've ever had in Dumfries and Galloway.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51You must be so proud of that.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53Very proud.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55And so you should be, because it's wonderful,
0:43:55 > 0:43:58and you're a wonderful, wonderful man, it's been a real pleasure,
0:43:58 > 0:44:01and thank you very much for showing me round, it's been tremendous.
0:44:05 > 0:44:06Back in Castle Douglas,
0:44:06 > 0:44:09Philip's happened upon another hidden gem,
0:44:09 > 0:44:11also known as AD Livingston & Sons,
0:44:11 > 0:44:15makers and restorers of fine furniture.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17Mr Livingston, I presume?
0:44:17 > 0:44:19I've never heard that before.
0:44:19 > 0:44:20No, I'm sure you wouldn't have done.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22Actually, the name's Kenny.
0:44:22 > 0:44:28Perhaps Philip could add further insult by spending very little money here today.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30These things are fantastic, aren't they?
0:44:30 > 0:44:32Came out of a decorator's,
0:44:32 > 0:44:34an old-style decorator's workshop in Dumfries.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38Either for creating a scumble effect on painted doors and the like.
0:44:38 > 0:44:42A scumble effect is when you've got pine panelling in the house,
0:44:42 > 0:44:43and you paint it,
0:44:43 > 0:44:46and, actually, this is cheating a bit,
0:44:46 > 0:44:50- you roll these up to make it look like it's grained oak.- Exactly.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52- How much have you got them priced up at?- Well, the whole lot is £45.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54Yeah, but can you do a deal on that?
0:44:54 > 0:44:56The deal would be, well...
0:44:56 > 0:44:58Cos that's, sort of, like...
0:44:59 > 0:45:02..let me just have a quiet word and explain how this works.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05Now, what happens is, you have a price on that, £45 best price,
0:45:05 > 0:45:07and it comes down a bit.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09Yeah, sure, that's my best price.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11£30 wouldn't buy them all, would it?
0:45:11 > 0:45:13- Are you offering me £30?- Yeah.- OK.
0:45:13 > 0:45:14- Done?- Yeah.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16- OK.- Thank you.- I like those.
0:45:16 > 0:45:20Just as well, because with that, it's tatty bye to Castle Douglas.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23Our next stop is Dumfries,
0:45:23 > 0:45:26affectionately known as the Queen of the South.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29It's an ancient town with a turbulent history.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32Dumfries has been party to witch burnings,
0:45:32 > 0:45:37and, later, Scotland's last public hanging in 1868.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40But, fear not, it also has some rather nice shops.
0:45:44 > 0:45:45Help!
0:45:45 > 0:45:49Ha, once you do finally get inside, there's plenty to see,
0:45:49 > 0:45:53but what Philip is instantly drawn to is the trench art,
0:45:53 > 0:45:56and so, he's getting ready to work his infinite charm on Robert.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59It's called trench art because they did it in the trenches.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03- Normally, it's the metalware from shell cases, isn't it?- Yes.
0:46:03 > 0:46:07You've got one there, look at that, that's the bullet out of a rifle.
0:46:07 > 0:46:08Yeah.
0:46:08 > 0:46:13That's a nice, interesting one, because it's got the dreadnought,
0:46:13 > 0:46:18which was the early metal warship, a cannon, and airship,
0:46:18 > 0:46:21the zeppelin airship. People hadn't really seen them before the war.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24And that's fascinating, look, because that's made out of a bullet.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26And then this is probably part of a shell case.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29Yeah, of course the significance of the date,
0:46:29 > 0:46:31the soldier knew that the war started in 1914.
0:46:31 > 0:46:32And that's when he did it, 1914?
0:46:32 > 0:46:35No, he didn't know when the war was going to end.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38It raises the hair on the back of your neck, doesn't it?
0:46:38 > 0:46:40- It does, it just brings a bit of a lump to your throat.- Yeah.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43I like that one, it's dated 1916 on the back.
0:46:43 > 0:46:47If you think, that the guy who made that in 1916,
0:46:47 > 0:46:49perhaps for a Christmas present for someone.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52- He could have been dead a month later, couldn't he?- Absolutely.
0:46:52 > 0:46:53Oh, oh, dear me.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55What's the best you can do on the two?
0:46:55 > 0:46:57How, how does 32 sound?
0:46:57 > 0:47:00It's too odd for me, that is.
0:47:00 > 0:47:0225 would sound a lot better.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Make it 30 and we've got a deal.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08Do you know, I'm not going to haggle with you, I love them so much.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15Moving on, and now auction time is unavoidably close.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Philip's been strangely conservative,
0:47:18 > 0:47:22spending just £135 on five auction lots.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26The Mauchlin-ware money box and toddy case,
0:47:26 > 0:47:31the 19th-century wool winder, the cutlery-tray-cum-bottle-carrier...
0:47:32 > 0:47:36..the grained rollers and the two piece trench art.
0:47:36 > 0:47:38As for cautious Catherine,
0:47:38 > 0:47:43she went wild, spending £149 also on five auction lots...
0:47:46 > 0:47:48..the carved ebony hippo,
0:47:48 > 0:47:50the magic lantern slides,
0:47:50 > 0:47:53the transatlantic cable paperweight,
0:47:53 > 0:47:55the gorgeous Lalique dish,
0:47:55 > 0:47:57and the pate mould, combined with a surprise purchase,
0:47:57 > 0:48:01this 1930s pickle grabber for just eight pounds.
0:48:03 > 0:48:07But can our experts muster any admiration for each other's efforts?
0:48:08 > 0:48:10Quite what that copper cable thing is about,
0:48:10 > 0:48:12only Catherine could do that.
0:48:12 > 0:48:16Now he's making a knife box into a wine carrier.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18Nah, doesn't wash with me, Phil.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21She's put all of her eggs into one very French Lalique basket,
0:48:21 > 0:48:25that could make a three figure profit, and if it does,
0:48:25 > 0:48:28you know, then my trousers could be down around my ankles, really.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30This auction's going to be interesting,
0:48:30 > 0:48:34because I think I've got some great pieces against him.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36Let's just hope that she's incredibly unlucky.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39After starting off in Glenluce,
0:48:39 > 0:48:42our hero and heroine are ending this leg of their road trip
0:48:42 > 0:48:44in the good town of Carlisle.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47Yes, that's right, we've crossed the border.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50I mean, Scotland could be the place where you excelled,
0:48:50 > 0:48:52and now it could be up to me.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55- Really?- Probably won't be, but...
0:48:55 > 0:48:58- That left hand pedal's the clutch. - I do know that.
0:48:58 > 0:49:03Carlisle was once a Roman town serving military forts along Hadrian's wall,
0:49:03 > 0:49:08but today it hosts an epic battle within H & H Auction Rooms.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12Well, here we go, over the top.
0:49:12 > 0:49:13Bring it on.
0:49:13 > 0:49:17That's the spirit, though before we let the bidders off the leash,
0:49:17 > 0:49:21let's see how auctioneer, Georgina Nixon,
0:49:21 > 0:49:24rates the unusual items submitted by our experts.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28Wool winders are not, obviously, the most desirable of old scientific instruments,
0:49:28 > 0:49:29but they are quite interesting.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31It does have a bit of damage,
0:49:31 > 0:49:35so if you're after a wool winder, that may be not the wool winder of your dreams, that one.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37The pickle grab's quite interesting,
0:49:37 > 0:49:41although it's unusual to pair it together with the pate mould,
0:49:41 > 0:49:44it looks like the start of a really interesting party, I think.
0:49:44 > 0:49:49But it all comes down to these good people,
0:49:49 > 0:49:50let the auction begin.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54First up, it's Catherine's magic lantern slides,
0:49:54 > 0:49:57let's hope they really do work a little magic.
0:49:57 > 0:49:58Wish me luck.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01- Very nice, they've got dinosaurs on them.- Dinosaurs, dinosaurs.
0:50:01 > 0:50:05What more could you want? Anyone, £5 for a start?
0:50:05 > 0:50:07£5 on the magic lanterns?
0:50:07 > 0:50:10Five, eight, ten,
0:50:10 > 0:50:14- 15, 18, 20.- Keep going.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17- My God, that is a result. - 22, are we all done at 22?
0:50:17 > 0:50:22Oh, dear, a two pound profit, that won't even cover the commission.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24What did you say, Philip Serrell, £5?
0:50:24 > 0:50:26I don't know what you're getting excited about,
0:50:26 > 0:50:28I think they just lost you money over there.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30Yeah, they actually have.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35On to Philip's Mauchlin-ware now,
0:50:35 > 0:50:37can this Scottish classic excite the English?
0:50:37 > 0:50:40Let's find out.
0:50:40 > 0:50:41Oh, lots of bids.
0:50:41 > 0:50:46- Lots of bids? Oh, come on.- We'll start the bidding at £30 with me.
0:50:46 > 0:50:52£30 with me, £30 with me, are we all done at £30?
0:50:52 > 0:50:53Yes, I think we are.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56- You'll regret it.- No, you won't.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58Yes, you will.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01How can you regret it?
0:51:01 > 0:51:05Now, while this ebony hippo tends to raise a smile,
0:51:05 > 0:51:07for some reason, Catherine's frowning.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11I'm a bit concerned that my beautiful hippo
0:51:11 > 0:51:14- follows an electric golf trolley. - Yeah.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17Lots of bids on the book.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19Lots of bids on the book, lots of bids on the book.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Well, that's cheered her up.
0:51:21 > 0:51:25£32 in the black,
0:51:25 > 0:51:28standing at £32 with me.
0:51:28 > 0:51:32That's £22 profit, before auction costs,
0:51:32 > 0:51:34looks like Catherine's back on form.
0:51:34 > 0:51:40And just as well, her pate mould and infamous pickle grabber are next.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42Oh, my heart's beating.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44Eight pounds with me.
0:51:44 > 0:51:45Eight, ten,
0:51:45 > 0:51:4712, 14, 15.
0:51:47 > 0:51:49Come on.
0:51:49 > 0:51:50£18 at the front.
0:51:50 > 0:51:5318, 20, it seems cheap.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55I think they want the pickle thing.
0:51:55 > 0:51:56At £20 at the back, are we all done?
0:51:56 > 0:52:01She's doubled her money, and I think someone's a little jealous.
0:52:01 > 0:52:0320 quid for a blooming broken jelly dish?
0:52:03 > 0:52:05Philip's trench art now,
0:52:05 > 0:52:08and naturally, he's hoping the bidders of Carlisle
0:52:08 > 0:52:10share his keen interest in World War I.
0:52:10 > 0:52:14£22 with me, 25, 28,
0:52:14 > 0:52:15£32 at the back.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19Are we all done at 32?
0:52:20 > 0:52:24Oh, dear, not quite the runaway profit Philip was hoping for,
0:52:24 > 0:52:26in fact, after commission it's a loss.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31Mental note - don't be such a soppy old fool.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33On to Philip's Georgian wine carrier,
0:52:33 > 0:52:36which can also be described as...
0:52:36 > 0:52:38Two empty wine bottles in a box.
0:52:38 > 0:52:42- Anyone, five pounds for a start. - Anyone.- Ouch.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44Five, eight, ten.
0:52:44 > 0:52:4712? 15.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50Well, someone likes what she sees.
0:52:50 > 0:52:5420, £20 at the front.
0:52:54 > 0:52:57But not quite enough, Philip's made another loss.
0:52:57 > 0:53:00Catherine, that's not very nice, you're laughing.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03You are revealing a darker side to your character, aren't you?
0:53:03 > 0:53:06- Oh-h! Oh-h!- I'm not sure I like it.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09Next the auction lot Philip was quick to laugh at,
0:53:09 > 0:53:12it's Catherine's little piece of transatlantic cable.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14Five pound for a start?
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Five pounds at the front, eight, ten.
0:53:17 > 0:53:1912, 15.
0:53:19 > 0:53:22That's done well, hasn't it? £15 at the very front.
0:53:22 > 0:53:26- Come on, keep going. - 18, 20, 22,
0:53:26 > 0:53:28- 25, 28.- Well done, you.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30He's nodding.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33- Are we all done at £32? - Good man, good man.
0:53:33 > 0:53:36That's a £27 profit.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38Now who's laughing, Philip?
0:53:38 > 0:53:40Oh, I'm getting my bottom smacked here.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42Let's not go there, shall we?
0:53:42 > 0:53:47Though moving right along, it's Philip's rollers.
0:53:47 > 0:53:49- £60 with me.- Oh!
0:53:49 > 0:53:52- £60 with me.- £60?
0:53:52 > 0:53:56£60 with me and selling.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59And just like that, the old dog fox is back.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03Now, while many parts from his wool winder have dropped off,
0:54:03 > 0:54:06apparently, there's still just enough to go to auction.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09Lots of bids on the book,
0:54:09 > 0:54:10with me at £80,
0:54:10 > 0:54:14- it seems cheap, £80.- No.
0:54:14 > 0:54:1785 at the very back,
0:54:17 > 0:54:19are we all done at 85?
0:54:19 > 0:54:22He's £60 up before commission.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25Seriously, how does he do it?
0:54:25 > 0:54:29So now it's down to your bowl, isn't it?
0:54:29 > 0:54:34This Lalique dish has caused Catherine at least one sleepless night so far,
0:54:34 > 0:54:37but can it change her fortunes?
0:54:37 > 0:54:39Oh, Phil, I'm getting really nervous.
0:54:39 > 0:54:41I've got goose pimples.
0:54:41 > 0:54:44Probably what you've been waiting for, it's the Lalique dish,
0:54:44 > 0:54:46- five pound for a start?- Five?
0:54:46 > 0:54:49- Five pounds to my right, eight.- I'm sorry, did she just say five pounds?
0:54:49 > 0:54:52Oh, dear, someone fetch Catherine a sweet sherry quick,
0:54:52 > 0:54:54I think she's going to need it.
0:54:54 > 0:54:59- 35, 35 at the very back. - I can't listen to this.
0:54:59 > 0:55:0150, 60, 75,
0:55:01 > 0:55:04- £80 at the very back. - This is just a joke.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07- Are we all done at £80?- No way.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09Oh, 85, 90.
0:55:09 > 0:55:10Come on.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12Are we all done at £90?
0:55:12 > 0:55:16And I'm afraid that is a loss.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18I can't believe that.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21That is just a joke,
0:55:21 > 0:55:23that's a joke.
0:55:23 > 0:55:25That is a joke.
0:55:25 > 0:55:27That is the biggest joke of the auction.
0:55:27 > 0:55:31Catherine started with £249.38,
0:55:31 > 0:55:35made a profit of £11.72 after auction costs,
0:55:35 > 0:55:39and she's got £261.10 to press on with.
0:55:43 > 0:55:45Philip had £442.36,
0:55:45 > 0:55:48and he's up again by £51.14,
0:55:48 > 0:55:54so, with £493.50 in the kitty, the lead is still his.
0:55:56 > 0:55:57Perk up.
0:55:57 > 0:55:58It was tragic.
0:55:58 > 0:56:03I am sure you'll be back with a vengeance.
0:56:03 > 0:56:04No, I think I've lost it now.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07Is this going to cost me a very large drink?
0:56:07 > 0:56:11- The largest you've ever bought, Philip.- Really?- Oh.
0:56:11 > 0:56:13Next time on the Antiques Road Trip,
0:56:13 > 0:56:17we're all at sea in the Lake District, where Catherine's risking it all...
0:56:17 > 0:56:20- I'm going to live dangerously. - Are you?
0:56:20 > 0:56:22..Philip's using his sex appeal...
0:56:22 > 0:56:25Oh, you're an angel, you're an angel.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28..and the gloves are coming off.
0:56:28 > 0:56:31Actually, that could be a very young Phil Serrell.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36If he comes in here, please, don't mention that.
