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

0:00:06 > 0:00:07I might need to declare war.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09Why?

0:00:09 > 0:00:13Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?

0:00:13 > 0:00:15- £15?- No!

0:00:15 > 0:00:19The aim is to trade up and hope each antique turns a profit,

0:00:19 > 0:00:23but it's not as easy as you might think and things don't always go to plan.

0:00:23 > 0:00:24Push!

0:00:24 > 0:00:28So, will they race off with a huge profit or come to a grinding halt?

0:00:28 > 0:00:29I'm going to go for it.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip!

0:00:36 > 0:00:39This week, auctioneer Anita Manning, who's a proper Scot, and valuer Mark Stacey,

0:00:39 > 0:00:43who's quite fond of a bit of porridge but wouldn't know Robert Burns if he bit him,

0:00:43 > 0:00:48drive their delightful blue Morris Minor through some major Scottish scenery,

0:00:48 > 0:00:52a soft top, but hopefully not a soft touch.

0:00:52 > 0:00:57You're a local girl and I think you're going to have a very competitive advantage over me.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01- You've got to roll your Rs. - Leave my Rs out of this!

0:01:01 > 0:01:02THEY LAUGH

0:01:02 > 0:01:08Anita, from Glasgow, has an in-depth knowledge of all things Scottish.

0:01:08 > 0:01:09A wee bit wibbly-wobbly.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12So will that give her the edge over Mark?

0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Could you take another couple of pounds off it?- No, sorry.

0:01:15 > 0:01:16That's a Scotsman for you!

0:01:16 > 0:01:23Mark, who's also Celtic, having come from Wales via Brighton, is ambitious, to say the least.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26I want to hold the world in my hands.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Although this isn't his home turf,

0:01:29 > 0:01:33he hopes that a sussed Southerner might grab a crafty Caledonian bargain too.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36If we could go 18...

0:01:36 > 0:01:37You naughty man!

0:01:38 > 0:01:42The mind games and friendly rivalry start here.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Well, what else would you expect?

0:01:44 > 0:01:52- You could be Mary, Queen of Scots. - Well, if I'm Mary, Queen of Scots, you will have to be Elizabeth I,

0:01:52 > 0:01:53the Virgin Queen!

0:01:53 > 0:01:55THEY LAUGH

0:01:55 > 0:01:58This week our journey begins in the heart of the Cairngorms

0:01:58 > 0:02:02and progresses via the beautiful cities of Edinburgh and Durham

0:02:02 > 0:02:04to Thirsk in North Yorkshire.

0:02:05 > 0:02:12Today's shows starts out in Aberfeldy and concludes with a tasty little auction in Dunblane.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Mark and Anita are all set to turn their £200 each into a tidy profit,

0:02:17 > 0:02:20but who will triumph and who will have a tantrum?

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Well, I can't believe that! It's shocking!

0:02:23 > 0:02:29First stop en route is the little town of Killin at the western head of Loch Tay.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34- How many lochs are there in Scotland?- Millions.- Millions!

0:02:35 > 0:02:40Steady! They used to grow flax and weave an awful lot of linen in these parts,

0:02:40 > 0:02:43but nowadays Killin earns a living from tourism.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48Mark and Anita are here to visit Maureen Gauld Antiques.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52- That's our first stop. Shall we go in together, Mark? - I think we should,

0:02:52 > 0:02:55but I don't want you rushing in without me. You wait for me.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59What I'd like you to do, Mark, is if you see any bargains, will you give me a shout?

0:03:00 > 0:03:04So what happens when a Scotswoman and a Welsh man walk into an antiques shop? This is not a joke!

0:03:04 > 0:03:08- Gosh, it's so exciting! It's like a treasure trove in here. - Our first shop!

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Listen, Anita, I think...

0:03:10 > 0:03:13- I'll stay here.- You stay here. I'll go and explore round the back.

0:03:13 > 0:03:19Gauld's is very much a traditional antique shop with a little bit of everything.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Somewhere, though, there's a bargain to be found.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30This is a piece of Scottish pottery. Look at the motto.

0:03:30 > 0:03:36"Freens are like fiddlestrings. They maunna be screw'd owerticht."

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Which means, "Friends are like fiddle strings. Don't overstretch them."

0:03:40 > 0:03:44Of course I know what it means, but Mark may need a translation!

0:03:44 > 0:03:47That looks quite interesting.

0:03:47 > 0:03:53Now, this is a little Victorian, I would say, sort of pokerwork.

0:03:53 > 0:03:59Somebody would have carved all this pattern out by using hot pokers and then staining it.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03It was something that often Victorian-Edwardian ladies did at home.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07Mark's unearthed a late-Victorian example of pyrography

0:04:07 > 0:04:12or the art of decorating wood by burning with the tip of a heated poker.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Barrels like these could be used to keep hats in.

0:04:15 > 0:04:20And actually what I quite like about it, of course, is Anita is Scottish,

0:04:20 > 0:04:23but this is an English rose on here.

0:04:23 > 0:04:29It's probably about 100 years old, but that Tudor rose might not impress a Scottish auction.

0:04:29 > 0:04:36It's in pretty original condition. It hasn't been tarted up, so it doesn't look all bright and shiny.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40But, of course, the crucial thing is the price.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44Victorian pokerwork barrel, £45.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48If we could get that down, that might be a possibility.

0:04:48 > 0:04:53Anita is always up for something a wee bit vernacular, don't you know?

0:04:53 > 0:04:56And in amongst the glassware she's spotted something that fits the bill.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00We've got this wonderful big piece of Monart.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04Now, Monart was made from the late '20s to the '60s

0:05:04 > 0:05:08in the factory of Moncrieff in Perth.

0:05:08 > 0:05:13This glass became wonderfully popular in the 1920s and 1930s,

0:05:13 > 0:05:15and it was sold in Liberty's.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19It's still collectable today, but it's a bit expensive.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24Quite! At almost £700 it's way beyond your budget!

0:05:25 > 0:05:29Mark, meanwhile, is already pondering another addition to his little horde.

0:05:29 > 0:05:35What we've really got here is a sort of decorative needlework panel, I suppose.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39I think it probably is 1920s or '30s, but the colours are still quite good in this.

0:05:39 > 0:05:44If you look at the pinks there and the greens,

0:05:44 > 0:05:46and the little blues there, it's rather an attractive thing.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50But it's quite a substantial piece really for £25.

0:05:50 > 0:05:55I think that's going to be another piece we're going to add with our bit there

0:05:55 > 0:05:58and see if we can get a good price on that.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Anita, though, has found something with global appeal.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Practical too.

0:06:03 > 0:06:10Now, terrestrial globes are quite collectable. People like this type of thing.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13But this little globe is also...

0:06:14 > 0:06:18..a biscuit tin! Isn't that sweet? I like that.

0:06:18 > 0:06:25Crawford's Biscuits were founded by one William Crawford in Leith, near Edinburgh in 1813.

0:06:25 > 0:06:31Fancy tins came later, and curios like this from the '30s are now highly collectable.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33The price label, however, says £60.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37Wow! Tome to talk to canny shopkeeper Jimmy Gauld.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Good morning.- Jimmy, good morning. - Nice to meet you.- I'm Anita.

0:06:41 > 0:06:48- When I looked at that at the beginning, I was trying to open that out.- Yeah, it opens up.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53That's an awful lot of trouble to get a ginger snap.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Are you sure you haven't got India on Africa there?

0:06:59 > 0:07:04- I think you might be right.- No, no, you're fine! I'm kidding you on.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07- I wasn't sure whether I was coming or going.- Jimmy,

0:07:07 > 0:07:12I think that...again, we're putting it into auction. It's going into a general auction.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16And we're trying to make just even a wee bit of profit on it.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Can I have £30 on that?

0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Oh, no chance!- Is there no chance on that?- Not a hope in...

0:07:21 > 0:07:26- Could we come...?- Nowhere even near it! I'll do it for 50.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28- That's the best I can do on that. - Is that the best you can do?

0:07:28 > 0:07:35Mmm...that didn't go well! But already Anita's found something else to bargain with,

0:07:35 > 0:07:37an imitation Tiffany's vase for a tenner.

0:07:37 > 0:07:44I wondered if I could do the biscuit tin and this wee thing, which is not a thing of any great significance,

0:07:44 > 0:07:46if you could give me the two for £50?

0:07:46 > 0:07:51But Anita's reckoned without the very thin walls in this establishment!

0:07:51 > 0:07:56- Could you?- I can hear Anita. I'm just going to earwig what she's saying.

0:07:56 > 0:08:01- I could do it for 5, make it 55 for the two of them.- 55 for the two? - Two of them, yeah.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04She's not sure about something.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Could you come down?- No. - Every pound counts!- I know.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11I'll just have a peek round the corner.

0:08:11 > 0:08:17- Could you come to maybe 53? - I've got a wife and three publicans to keep, I need the money!

0:08:17 > 0:08:19- A wife and three publicans?- Aye!

0:08:20 > 0:08:23That's a Scotsman for you!

0:08:23 > 0:08:29- Oi! Flower of Scotland! Can you hurry up, please? Cos I'm trying to do a deal here!- All right, OK.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32- I don't want to interrupt you. - You're not interrupting me. - Are you sure?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34I've got to give the man some money, hopefully!

0:08:34 > 0:08:40While Anita heads off for another scout around, it's time for Mark to try his charms on our Jimmy.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44For some reason, I quite like this frame.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46And I rather find this rather charming.

0:08:46 > 0:08:51I mean, I don't know how flexible you can be with me...

0:08:51 > 0:08:54As I say, whatever price is on it, just double it and then we'll do a deal!

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Well, you see, I was thinking the other way, to halve it...

0:08:58 > 0:09:00No chance of that!

0:09:00 > 0:09:02So what would be the best on this one, then?

0:09:02 > 0:09:05- I'll do that for 20. - That would be 20?- Yeah.

0:09:05 > 0:09:11- And that one would be...?- Make it 40.- Listen, my friend, I really do like those two pieces.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14I know...I'm not here to slash the prices from you,

0:09:14 > 0:09:19- but I do have to try and negotiate as hard as I can.- You are trying!

0:09:19 > 0:09:21I know, I'm very trying! Everybody says that to me!

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Is there any chance we could get to 50?

0:09:24 > 0:09:27- No.- Please.- Not a hope in hell!

0:09:27 > 0:09:29- 55?- No, it's got to be 60.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Oh, come on, Jimmy!- I can't!- Please!

0:09:32 > 0:09:3455 and we've got a deal, I promise you!

0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Er...- Please! - Anything to get rid of you!

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Oh, don't say that, Jimmy! Don't say that.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43- You've got a smile on your face. - I've always got a smile on my face.

0:09:43 > 0:09:44It's not trapped wind?

0:09:44 > 0:09:46I hope not!

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Anita just can't drag herself away from the Scottish glass.

0:09:50 > 0:09:56And she's now discovered something which at £22 is an awful lot cheaper than the Monart.

0:09:56 > 0:10:01This is a piece of Strathearn glass. It's from about the '70s, '80s.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03It's still nice, I like it,

0:10:03 > 0:10:07and I might be able to get it for a reasonable price. I'll go and ask Jimmy.

0:10:07 > 0:10:12Worth a try, Anita, and adding it to the other items which you've bought may help.

0:10:12 > 0:10:1855 for the two of them and 22 is 77, so I'll make it 75.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Could you take another couple of pounds off it?- No, no, sorry.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Two wee pounds!- No!

0:10:24 > 0:10:26- No.- Oh, you're a hard man!

0:10:26 > 0:10:2975!

0:10:29 > 0:10:35So while Anita deposits an awful lot of her budget inside Jimmy's ancient till,

0:10:35 > 0:10:39Mark's found time for a quick trip to one of Scotland's most impressive castles.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45Mark and his Morris are heading for Inveraray.

0:10:47 > 0:10:52Look, it's breathtaking. It's almost like a little fairy-tale castle, isn't it?

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Like a medieval French chateau!

0:10:56 > 0:10:59The house itself is very fine indeed,

0:10:59 > 0:11:02based on a sketch by Vanbrugh in the 18th century,

0:11:02 > 0:11:07although there's been a castle here beside Loch Fyne since the 1400s.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09This is the seat of the Dukes of Argyll,

0:11:09 > 0:11:10better known as the Campbells,

0:11:10 > 0:11:15a family that's played an important role in several key moments of Scottish history.

0:11:16 > 0:11:17Hello!

0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Mark!- You must be Jane. - Welcome to Inveraray Castle.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Thank you for having me.- Delighted to meet you.- Lovely to meet you too

0:11:24 > 0:11:26- on such a wonderful day. - I know, it's stunning, isn't it?

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Jane Young is the manager at Inveraray

0:11:31 > 0:11:34and the best possible guide to the castle.

0:11:35 > 0:11:40So as you enter into the armoury hall, you'll see a lot of the armaments.

0:11:40 > 0:11:46The castle contains several reminders of the family's early fighting years,

0:11:46 > 0:11:50as well as a priceless object that once belonged to a Scottish folk hero.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53So this is Rob Roy's sporran.

0:11:53 > 0:11:58- And this was found in his cottage which was just up at the top of Glen Shira...- And that's nearby?- Yes.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01It's just on the outskirts of the town.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Rob Roy, the Highland Rogue, was a sort of Scottish Robin Hood,

0:12:04 > 0:12:07a legendary outlaw and freedom fighter,

0:12:07 > 0:12:12the difference being that, unlike Robin, he and his sporran were real.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15- You can see all the beautiful ornate work...- Detail.- Yes, around about.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Wonderful, isn't it?

0:12:17 > 0:12:21The Argylls fought on the side of the Government

0:12:21 > 0:12:26and against Bonnie Prince Charlie's claim to the throne at Culloden in 1745.

0:12:26 > 0:12:32Incredibly, you can see original banners from that battle still hanging on the castle walls.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36They are so fragile. You can see there's hardly any...

0:12:36 > 0:12:40- Yes, very delicate.- ..Decoration left on them.- But you can actually still see the outline

0:12:40 > 0:12:42of the Argyll Militia.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45They're obviously a very important part of history.

0:12:45 > 0:12:52And just over 100 years after that, the Argylls actually married into the British Royal Family.

0:12:52 > 0:12:57In the Victorian Room, there's a fine painting of the future 9th Duke getting hitched

0:12:57 > 0:13:00to Princess Louise in 1871.

0:13:00 > 0:13:05- I can spot Queen Victoria in the middle there.- Yes, yes, pretty...

0:13:05 > 0:13:08Then you've got the bride and groom at the end. And I must admit

0:13:08 > 0:13:11- she does look for once as if she's got a cheeky smile on her face!- Yes.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14I'm sure she's delighted that's daughter number 4 married!

0:13:18 > 0:13:23But perhaps the most surprising item at Inveraray is one unlikely survivor of the big day,

0:13:23 > 0:13:25a piece of cake!

0:13:25 > 0:13:31Now, Judy, I'm dying to ask you... It just looks like an envelope. Where is the piece of cake?

0:13:31 > 0:13:37- Well, you can see how it's all been delicately wrapped and sealed at the back.- Wonderful.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41And this isn't the sort of thing that one takes home to eat?

0:13:41 > 0:13:44No, I wouldn't think so. I think you would want to keep it and preserve it carefully.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46It's absolutely beautiful.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47Wonderful.

0:13:47 > 0:13:53And with the sun setting over Loch Fyne, Mark heads back to the hotel to find Anita.

0:13:54 > 0:14:00Day 2, and Mark's at the wheel as they continue their trek around the Trossachs... Sounds painful!

0:14:00 > 0:14:05- Are you dying to get to the shop? - I am. And are you planning to spend all of your budget?

0:14:05 > 0:14:08I'm not telling you!

0:14:10 > 0:14:15Yesterday Mark spent a mere £55 from his precious £200 on two items.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17That'll be fantastic. Thank you so much.

0:14:17 > 0:14:24While Anita lavished £75 on three things, including an astonishing £50 on a biscuit tin

0:14:24 > 0:14:25shaped like a globe!

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Oh, you're a hard man!

0:14:27 > 0:14:32Will she make a handsome profit at the auction or just crumbs? Time alone will tell.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36Today Anita and Mark hope to motor all the way down to Callander,

0:14:36 > 0:14:39calling in at the little town of Balfron

0:14:39 > 0:14:41to add to their haul.

0:14:41 > 0:14:46Balfron has got quite a history. The name in Gaelic means "village in mourning",

0:14:46 > 0:14:50apparently because a pack of wolves once stole their children. It could have been the Vikings, though.

0:14:50 > 0:14:55Either way, do the good people of Balfron know that Manning and Stacey are a-coming?

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Right, stop!

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Just wait there, Anita.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04I won't take any unfair advantage of you!

0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Why's that, then?- Because I know you've got your beady eye on me!

0:15:07 > 0:15:08THEY LAUGH

0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Well, I'll just nip in!- Hey!

0:15:11 > 0:15:17Junktion Antiques is a very different retail experience for Anita and Mark. Plenty of room,

0:15:17 > 0:15:22and with a range that extends from humble bric-a-brac all the way to top quality.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28There should be a bit more scope for our dynamic duo here

0:15:28 > 0:15:32if proprietor David Hill is as good as his word anyway.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Have you got any bargains? - They're all bargains!

0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Be serious!- They're all bargains!

0:15:38 > 0:15:43Anita always was the bookish type and Junktion seems to have quite a library.

0:15:43 > 0:15:50I always find these Victorian photograph albums very sweet, very evocative.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Look at that wee girl there.

0:15:52 > 0:15:57She's all dressed up in rather stiff Victorian clothes.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01Nobody ever seems to be smiling in them.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04Mark's found an avian oddity.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06It's really a novelty little item.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09It's made out of an early form of plastic, actually,

0:16:09 > 0:16:14and it's meant to be a sort of rather exotic bird sitting on a branch looking at a little box.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18But actually if you're too lazy to open the box yourself for a cigarette,

0:16:18 > 0:16:22what you do is you push the bird and it picks the cigarette up in its mouth,

0:16:22 > 0:16:25and then you take it from the bird.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Back in the 1930s when such items were all the rage,

0:16:28 > 0:16:33complicated cigarette dispensing was as popular as devilishly strong gaspers,

0:16:33 > 0:16:37but this one, unfortunately, needs a trip to the novelty bird vet!

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Its beak's broken. What a shame.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43- You haven't got that bit, have you? - I haven't, Mark.- What a shame.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Charming little object.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50There's plenty of furniture at Junktion,

0:16:50 > 0:16:54and beneath its shabby exterior Anita may have found a chest to treasure.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57This is a nice wee chest.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01It's a little Victorian mahogany apprentice piece.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04It's been painted white and it looks terrible,

0:17:04 > 0:17:08but this would strip down quite nicely.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Plastic handles! Wrong handles.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Oh, Mark's found a bit of old metal.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20I think it's quite fun, actually. It's quite imposing.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23I suppose if you've got a big Glasgow house or something,

0:17:23 > 0:17:25to have a big tray like that up on your wall...

0:17:25 > 0:17:28It's had some drill holes here.

0:17:28 > 0:17:33If I'm being honest about the piece, it's only a little... It's a beaten tray.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37It's not of huge quality, but actually there's some quite nice detail on it.

0:17:37 > 0:17:42I can't quite make out who it is. Oh, Robert Dudley.

0:17:42 > 0:17:47Associate of Queen Elizabeth I, and as Anita has christened me the Virgin Queen,

0:17:47 > 0:17:51it could actually be quite fortuitous, shall we say?

0:17:51 > 0:17:56Dudley, First Earl of Leicester was certainly one of the Queen's suitors

0:17:56 > 0:17:59and allegedly responsible for the death of his first wife.

0:17:59 > 0:18:05he was also hated by many Scots for his role in the execution of Mary Stuart.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10I can hear him blethering away to David. I want to get in there!

0:18:10 > 0:18:16- David?- Yes, Mark?- This is not the sort of thing I normally go for, I have to say.

0:18:16 > 0:18:21- It's got no price on it. - That piece could go today for somewhere in the region of £30.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Could I make you a sneaky offer?

0:18:23 > 0:18:27- I'm all ears! - Can we get anywhere near 15?

0:18:27 > 0:18:30If we could go 18, you've got a deal.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33- 16.- 17.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37- You naughty man! Go on, you've done it.- Right, Mark. Thank you.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Inspired or just plain bonkers?

0:18:40 > 0:18:44I mean, how will a Robert Dudley charger go down in Scotland?

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Now, that looks familiar!

0:18:49 > 0:18:52I'm thinking that I should probably stay away from terrestrial globes!

0:18:52 > 0:18:56Well, the jury's still out on yesterday's purchase.

0:18:56 > 0:19:02Five minutes later, but who should find himself in that part of the shop but Mark Stacey?

0:19:02 > 0:19:04I think that's lovely.

0:19:04 > 0:19:10I think this is really nice. It's a piece of 1950s or '60s furniture.

0:19:10 > 0:19:11You've got this very typical shape here.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15But I love globes and I'm fascinated by globes anyway.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18And I just think that's really nice.

0:19:18 > 0:19:25There we are, look. There's Glasgow. I'm really getting into this '50s and '60s stuff now,

0:19:25 > 0:19:30because it's what the youngsters want, and you can mix and match it in with the old and the new.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34And it actually creates a home which looks like it's been through the generations.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37It's marked up at the moment at £38,

0:19:37 > 0:19:41which in my part of the world, Brighton, would be terribly cheap.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44I certainly wouldn't have that on it in my shop!

0:19:44 > 0:19:51But whether of course the good bidders of Scotland are ready for the '50s revolution again,

0:19:51 > 0:19:52I'm not sure.

0:19:52 > 0:19:59- David, I absolutely love this. I'm laying my cards on the table. - Okey-dokey.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01I want to hold the world in my hands.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Don't we all? - And this is my chance of doing it.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08I don't think you can move much from £38, to be honest with you.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10But there is a price I'd like to pay in my mind.

0:20:10 > 0:20:15I'd love, honestly, to pay £25 for it.

0:20:15 > 0:20:20I think at £25, you've got a chance of making something on it,

0:20:20 > 0:20:22- and I think we've got a deal there at £25.- David, thank you so much.

0:20:22 > 0:20:27Mark has four items so far for a whisker under £100.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29- The world in your hands. - Thank you very much, David.

0:20:29 > 0:20:34But Anita after yesterday's splurge has yet to spend a shilling.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38This is a fairly modern whatnot.

0:20:38 > 0:20:43But it's rather a nice shape with these three tiers.

0:20:43 > 0:20:49Actually less of a whatnot, more of a reproduction three-tier dumb waiter,

0:20:49 > 0:20:53based on a Georgian model first made in the 1760s.

0:20:55 > 0:21:01I like the three tiers and I also like the little metal claw feet.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Might have a go at that.

0:21:03 > 0:21:07But will David budge from his £30 asking price?

0:21:07 > 0:21:12Thinking auction value on it. You don't know if it's going to get £10,

0:21:12 > 0:21:14- you don't know if it's going to get £40.- Very much so.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18- I can do that in the region of £20. - Right.

0:21:18 > 0:21:19I think that...

0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Oh, Lordy!- There we go.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25- I think that's needing glued. - It's needing glued back together.

0:21:25 > 0:21:31- That should halve the value! - I'll do that at £10 to you and you put that in the auction.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Crikey, it worked! I must try that.

0:21:33 > 0:21:38I mean, I know this is really the naughtiest thing in the world,

0:21:38 > 0:21:41but could you come down to a fiver?

0:21:41 > 0:21:45- We'll split the difference. We'll do 7.50.- 7.50?

0:21:45 > 0:21:49And we've got a deal. And if you can't make £15 on that...

0:21:49 > 0:21:53- If I can't make £15 on that... - It's time to chuck it! - It's time to chuck it!

0:21:53 > 0:21:54Thanks very much.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Where's Mark Stacey? - TOOT!

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Am I keeping you waiting, darling? I've just got all the bargains.

0:22:01 > 0:22:06- Are you happy, darling? - I'm ecstatically happy, Anita.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11So, darlings, with a potential bargain safely in the boot, Anita is now in the driving seat.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15I love this big steering wheel. I think it's great, it's wonderful.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17It's like driving a huge, big car!

0:22:17 > 0:22:21You look like the flower of Scotland...or is it an old thistle?

0:22:22 > 0:22:29From Balfron our trippers head north to Aberfoyle where they might do just a little more shopping.

0:22:29 > 0:22:36Aberfoyle is in the heart of the Trossachs, and has several tales to boast of,

0:22:36 > 0:22:41and most of them involve trees. The local minister, Reverend Robert Kirk,

0:22:41 > 0:22:44used to write books about fairies, as you do.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48Legend had it that he fell out with them and they trapped his spirit in a tree.

0:22:48 > 0:22:53Not this one, though! That's where Rob Roy once hid from the law, allegedly.

0:22:53 > 0:22:58Aberfoyle is also famous for its ice cream and Mark and Anita simply can't resist.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Delicious ice cream, Anita.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Listen, I'm going to do you a favour. As you need to get shopping,

0:23:03 > 0:23:05I'll relieve you of that and finish it for you. Off you go!

0:23:05 > 0:23:09Anita wants to buy still more and knows of a place nearby,

0:23:09 > 0:23:13while Mark chooses to shop locally with both ice creams.

0:23:13 > 0:23:17And who should he bump into but that nice Jimmy Gauld from Killin!

0:23:17 > 0:23:20We're just in to do some more shopping because you were so mean to us!

0:23:20 > 0:23:24- Well, naturally, I'm an Aberdonian! - We had to get some bargains. - I'm an Aberdonian!

0:23:24 > 0:23:27- I'll never go to Aberdeen. - Thank God for that!

0:23:27 > 0:23:28Nice to see you!

0:23:29 > 0:23:33Anita, however, doesn't head straight for the next shop.

0:23:33 > 0:23:38She takes a quick diversion into Scotland's industrial past instead...

0:23:39 > 0:23:43..making her way from Aberfoyle over to Dumbarton near Glasgow.

0:23:43 > 0:23:47This is the River Clyde, sunny and a bit sleepy today,

0:23:47 > 0:23:50but once one of the world's major shipbuilding areas.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54Great ships like the Lusitania...

0:23:55 > 0:23:58..the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth were built here.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03And the Scottish Maritime Museum is based on the site of William Denny and Bothers,

0:24:03 > 0:24:07a famous name in shipbuilding since 1840.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10This here is the model of the Cutty Sark.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14- And this was the fastest tea clipper in the world?- Indeed, yes.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17- And one of the most famous ships in the world.- Of course.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Built here in Dumbarton.

0:24:19 > 0:24:26But Denny's were a go-ahead company who soon introduced science into shipbuilding,

0:24:26 > 0:24:31and here in Dumbarton they created one of the world's first experimental testing tanks.

0:24:32 > 0:24:33And what does it do?

0:24:33 > 0:24:38Well, what happened was when Denny's won an order to build a new ship, the order would come here first.

0:24:38 > 0:24:44And the drawing office upstairs would then produce a drawing of a scale model of the ship's hull.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45The innovative design of Denny's tank

0:24:45 > 0:24:50meant that those little scale models could be tested under the conditions

0:24:50 > 0:24:55that real ships would encounter at sea, and the idea was soon copied elsewhere in Britain

0:24:55 > 0:24:57and around the world.

0:24:57 > 0:25:01I heard a wee story that this was called the mother tank,

0:25:01 > 0:25:07and when they built other tanks of this type they would take a cup of water from the tank.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Is that true or is it just a myth? - That is true.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13- So that's holy water? - Yes, more or less, yes!

0:25:13 > 0:25:20Now that she's done in Dumbarton, Anita must make her way to her final shopping date in Callander,

0:25:20 > 0:25:22gateway to the Highlands.

0:25:22 > 0:25:27Callander, which became famous during the 1960s as the setting

0:25:27 > 0:25:31for fictional Tannochbrae of Dr Finlay's Casebook fame,

0:25:31 > 0:25:34is also notable as the birthplace of Helen Duncan,

0:25:34 > 0:25:38Britain's last convicted witch in 1944.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Well, I never did!

0:25:40 > 0:25:44All that and Lady Kentmores, an antique shop.

0:25:44 > 0:25:48- Hi, George, lovely to meet you again.- How are you doing?- I'm well.

0:25:48 > 0:25:54George's shop is one of Anita's road-trip favourites, full of quirks and curiosities.

0:25:54 > 0:25:59It's the sort of place where Crown Derby can happily nestle up against a jukebox or a slot machine.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03- Have you got 5 pence, George? - I'll give you 5 pence. I know what a gambler you are!

0:26:04 > 0:26:06I'm going to try my luck, George.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Am I going to win?- It's like Vegas!

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Oh, this is great fun!

0:26:11 > 0:26:16Many have compared antiques dealing to gambling, but I don't know how many of them are good at both.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19I've got 20 pence back!

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Yes!

0:26:22 > 0:26:26- You can now buy something now you're rich!- All right! What have you got for 20 pence?

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Well, first pay him back his 5p!

0:26:29 > 0:26:31In amongst the porcelain in this cabinet,

0:26:31 > 0:26:35there's certainly a couple of very unusual and collectable items.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37Are these eyes old eyes?

0:26:37 > 0:26:40A pair of blue eyes from the 1940s.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42What happened at the beginning of World War II,

0:26:42 > 0:26:45the Spitfires and everything, the pilots got a lot of eye injuries,

0:26:45 > 0:26:48and Churchill found out about this.

0:26:48 > 0:26:54And he summoned the tops ones on the medical side of the Army in and said, "We need to fix this!"

0:26:54 > 0:26:57These eyes are ceramic, all hand-painted with the eyes,

0:26:57 > 0:27:00and they used to take a day to do each one.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03I mean, they are absolutely gruesome.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05But beautifully done.

0:27:06 > 0:27:12Mark is still browsing in Aberfoyle. Slate used to be mined hereabouts,

0:27:12 > 0:27:17and Mark has found something made from the rock in the James Rae antique shop.

0:27:17 > 0:27:23This is a very nice late-19th century slate mantel clock.

0:27:23 > 0:27:27This is all slate which has been engraved and then gilded.

0:27:27 > 0:27:33I think they're very elegant but they don't actually, funnily enough, sell that well at auction.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35But they look wonderful. I'd love one of these in my house,

0:27:35 > 0:27:40because it's very imposing and I'm sure it tells the time very nicely.

0:27:41 > 0:27:46Meanwhile in Callander Anita is also looking at a clock.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49What attracted me to this one

0:27:49 > 0:27:51is the shape.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Mm-hm.- I like the shape.

0:27:54 > 0:27:58And it has a little Arts and Crafts look about it.

0:27:58 > 0:28:02The Arts and Crafts movement flourished with William Morris

0:28:02 > 0:28:06in the third quarter of the 19th century, and the philosophy soon spread to Scotland,

0:28:06 > 0:28:12especially Glasgow, where it was adopted enthusiastically in both architecture and design.

0:28:12 > 0:28:17A conservative estimate on that, I would say, would be £20-30.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21Yeah, I think eventually that would finish up about 45-50.

0:28:21 > 0:28:26If you was wanting this, we could probably do something around about the 30, which would be...

0:28:26 > 0:28:29Round about the 30s? How about 22 on it?

0:28:29 > 0:28:35- 25 and it's yours.- I'm tempted to say, "Let's halve it and go 23."

0:28:35 > 0:28:37- That's not half.- Oh, no!

0:28:37 > 0:28:39Arithmetic!

0:28:39 > 0:28:41- OK, what about 24? - 24 and you've got a deal.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44Oh, you're a darling!

0:28:44 > 0:28:50Mmm...enough of that! Anita now with five items to declare must head for a date

0:28:50 > 0:28:54with Mark at the lake at Menteith, Scotland's only lake.

0:28:54 > 0:28:59It apparently got its name because the local baron was a traitor to the English.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01Do you know, Anita? No wonder I'm so tired.

0:29:01 > 0:29:07- You're sitting down and I'm always fetching and carrying! - Well, I like a man to run after me!

0:29:07 > 0:29:09- Cheers, darling.- Cheers.

0:29:09 > 0:29:13- First up, Anita's Strathearn vase. - I love the colours.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15- The colours...- The swirls.

0:29:15 > 0:29:21I think that there's a lot of movement in this piece and I quite like it.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24Well, I just hope there's a lot of movement in the price. What did you pay for it?

0:29:24 > 0:29:27- I paid £20. - Well, that's a bit cheap, isn't it?

0:29:27 > 0:29:29Show me your first one.

0:29:29 > 0:29:36I just thought if there was a buyer in the saleroom who had quite a sort of baronial entrance space

0:29:36 > 0:29:38or fireplace, that would look lovely hanging up.

0:29:38 > 0:29:43- It's not great quality, but it's quite impressive.- I like this.

0:29:43 > 0:29:48It has the look and I love the detail in the border.

0:29:48 > 0:29:51- How much did you pay for it? - You won't laugh, will you?

0:29:51 > 0:29:54- I might.- £17.

0:29:54 > 0:29:59It's a thing which will appeal to the Scottish rural buyers.

0:29:59 > 0:30:03- Now, the biscuit tin that doubles as a globe.- Oh, how lovely!

0:30:03 > 0:30:07And it was made for Crawford's Biscuits.

0:30:07 > 0:30:11- Lovely.- It was made in 1938. - Fabulous.

0:30:11 > 0:30:16And it was made by Chad Valley, so we have several good elements there.

0:30:16 > 0:30:21There is also an example of this little biscuit tin

0:30:21 > 0:30:24in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26Gosh, Anita, you are bigging this up!

0:30:26 > 0:30:29- How much did you pay?- I paid £50!

0:30:29 > 0:30:34It's a corker. I'll tell you what, I really, really like it, Anita.

0:30:34 > 0:30:37And after Anita's corker, Mark's barrel.

0:30:37 > 0:30:43I like the fact that the coloration is quite good and the detailing is quite good.

0:30:43 > 0:30:48- I think it's the type of thing that will look very nice in a country cottage.- Well, I thought...

0:30:48 > 0:30:50Or a wee croft.

0:30:50 > 0:30:51- How much?- 35.

0:30:51 > 0:30:56Well, I know, it's not... you might make it back.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58- I might. - And you might make a wee profit.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00- But then again I might make a wee loss.- Yes.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03Next, the imitation Tiffany vase.

0:31:03 > 0:31:08It's fairly insignificant, but it is rather pretty.

0:31:08 > 0:31:13- But I hope you didn't pay a lot for that.- No, I paid a fiver for it. - Well...- I know.

0:31:13 > 0:31:17- It might get £1.- Or it might get £20, you just don't know.

0:31:17 > 0:31:21- Now, my third item, Anita... - Oh, right.- It's a sample panel.

0:31:21 > 0:31:27Now, when I looked at it, of course, the first thing that struck me was the frame.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29Because it's very decorative with all the graining on it.

0:31:29 > 0:31:37And again I thought if somebody wanted something for a long alcove or a hallway or a small room,

0:31:37 > 0:31:40- that would actually look quite appealing up on the wall.- Yeah.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42- Uh-huh.- You don't like it, do you?

0:31:42 > 0:31:46I guess in the end it depends on the price that you paid for it.

0:31:46 > 0:31:52- £20.- I think that for £20, they will overlook the fact that the frame is not contemporary

0:31:52 > 0:31:57with the panel, that the moulding is split,

0:31:57 > 0:32:01and that it's absolutely...wrong!

0:32:01 > 0:32:05But for £20, I would have bought it for £20.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07Go on, say what you really think, Anita!

0:32:07 > 0:32:09Now for the wonky dumb waiter.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Do you like it?- No.

0:32:12 > 0:32:14I don't!

0:32:14 > 0:32:19- Well, what I was doing... There was a psychology behind the buying of this item.- Right.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22- It's modern. We know that it's within the last 20 years... - Oh, is it(?)

0:32:22 > 0:32:26Yeah... We know that it's within the last...

0:32:26 > 0:32:31ten years. We know that it might be in the last... Stop laughing!

0:32:32 > 0:32:35Five years! You haven't seen the best of it yet!

0:32:35 > 0:32:37It was a wee bit shoogly-woogly.

0:32:37 > 0:32:41Well, I was just going to say to you, Anita, I love Italy,

0:32:41 > 0:32:44and I've been to the Leaning Tower of Pisa,

0:32:44 > 0:32:47but I've never seen the leaning dumb waiter before!

0:32:48 > 0:32:49Has it had a wee drink?

0:32:49 > 0:32:55- I put a wee bit of sticky tape on it. - Well, at least that's added value!

0:32:56 > 0:33:01- It's in quite good condition, although it's wibbly-wobbly. - Shiggly-wiggly,

0:33:01 > 0:33:06- or whatever it is you say!- £7.50! I've got to make a couple of quid on that.- Absolutely!

0:33:06 > 0:33:10- This is my favourite item.- Yes. - It's in the art nouveau style.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13There's a little bit of detail on the carving here,

0:33:13 > 0:33:17but what I think I like most of it is this shape.

0:33:17 > 0:33:22I completely agree with you about the tendency towards the art nouveau.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26It's not quite there, because the leaves are too formalised,

0:33:26 > 0:33:29they're not quite organic enough, as you know.

0:33:29 > 0:33:33- Was it expensive?- £24.- I think that's a very reasonable buy, Anita.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37- I think there's a profit in that. - I think there's a chance.- I think there's a very good profit in there.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40Oh, I love that!

0:33:40 > 0:33:42Finally, Mark's globe.

0:33:42 > 0:33:46Well, I like that one a lot better than the one that I bought.

0:33:46 > 0:33:52- Well, I paid for this one...- Uh-huh? - 25.- That's not bad.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54I raise my glass to you.

0:33:54 > 0:33:58- Thank you so much for being so entertaining. - We've had a lovely couple of days.

0:33:58 > 0:33:59And here's to the rest of the trip.

0:33:59 > 0:34:03All very jovial, but what do they really think?

0:34:03 > 0:34:10His big embroidery... well, it's kind of OK, but I think the frame spoils it.

0:34:10 > 0:34:17She was start staring bonkers when she bought the wibbly-wobbly brand-new dumb waiter.

0:34:17 > 0:34:21I think that Mark might win this stage.

0:34:21 > 0:34:27I think I'll have to be very, very lucky or make a very big profit on one thing to beat Mark.

0:34:27 > 0:34:31I think I deserve to come out marginally on top.

0:34:31 > 0:34:37Anita, though, at the saleroom, might well just have that clan spirit amongst the Scots!

0:34:37 > 0:34:39And they might just beat me.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44After starting out all the way back in Aberfeldy,

0:34:44 > 0:34:48this leg of our bargain battle concludes in Dunblane...

0:34:48 > 0:34:49MOO!

0:34:49 > 0:34:53..here, at the auctioneer's, Robertsons of Kinbuck.

0:34:53 > 0:34:57- OK, Mark, here we are. - Oh, it's exciting, isn't it, Anita?

0:34:57 > 0:35:01- The saleroom! All this hard work over the last few days.- I know. Are you worried?

0:35:01 > 0:35:03- Very worried. - Come on, I'll hold your hand.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06Lead me into the saleroom, Anita!

0:35:07 > 0:35:10So, as the would-be bidders begin their inspection...

0:35:10 > 0:35:12MIAOW!

0:35:12 > 0:35:14Hey, watch out for the China, pussy!

0:35:14 > 0:35:18- ..Auctioneer Bob Robertson has his own thoughts.- Thank you.

0:35:20 > 0:35:24The biscuit barrel, that's by Chad. Chad predominantly made

0:35:24 > 0:35:29tinplate toys and whatever, so quite unusual to see a biscuit barrel made as such.

0:35:29 > 0:35:36Robert Dudley plaque. Quite unusual. Nice. And I reckon that might make the most this evening.

0:35:36 > 0:35:41With the hammer about to fall, Mark has spent £97 on four lots.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43Very pleased with it.

0:35:43 > 0:35:48And Anita, £106.50 on five.

0:35:48 > 0:35:49Thanks very much!

0:35:49 > 0:35:50Let the auction begin!

0:35:50 > 0:35:52Who's going to win?

0:35:52 > 0:35:56- Well, of course you know the answer to that.- You?- Of course!

0:35:56 > 0:36:00First up, Mark's late-Victorian, lidded pokerwork barrel

0:36:00 > 0:36:03with those Tudor roses.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05- Oh, here it is, Anita.- Good luck!

0:36:05 > 0:36:09£30. £30 opening.

0:36:09 > 0:36:1230 bid. 35. 40.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14- Oh, my!- You're away!

0:36:14 > 0:36:18- At £40 only. Come on, a wee bit more. - A wee bit more.

0:36:18 > 0:36:21- Please, one more. - £40. All out now at £40.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23At 40. Selling at £40.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26Oh, I need some air.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28We've got a long way to go.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31Phew! A modest £5 profit, less commission.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34But out of jail for Mr Stacey, eh?

0:36:34 > 0:36:38- £40, that's not too bad, actually. - It's good.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41Now it's the turn of Anita's little biscuit globe

0:36:41 > 0:36:45and the quest to get her money back.

0:36:45 > 0:36:4750? 45? £40 only.

0:36:47 > 0:36:51- Start the bidding. 35. £35. This is a collector's item.- Anita, behave!

0:36:51 > 0:36:5435! We need your bids, come on!

0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Stop it!- We need your bids for this woman.- Stop encouraging him!

0:36:57 > 0:37:00Come on! She's against that rascal next to her.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05We've got to help the poor woman out!

0:37:05 > 0:37:07No, you don't have to help her out.

0:37:07 > 0:37:08£35. 30 only?

0:37:08 > 0:37:10£35 only.

0:37:10 > 0:37:1340. Come on, a wee bit more!

0:37:13 > 0:37:15- 45. £45.- Oh, come on!

0:37:15 > 0:37:17£45.

0:37:17 > 0:37:21- Well done, well done.- Well, I can't believe that! It's shocking!

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Shocking display of nationalism!

0:37:23 > 0:37:28So Anita loses £5 less commission, but it could have been much worse.

0:37:28 > 0:37:33- Smile at him.- I won't even look at him after that!

0:37:35 > 0:37:38Now for Anita's jack-in-the-pulpit vase.

0:37:38 > 0:37:42£15. Go on! That lassie's jumping about in her seat again!

0:37:42 > 0:37:44A tenner.

0:37:44 > 0:37:48- £10. Bid at 10. - Oh, my God, I can't believe it!

0:37:48 > 0:37:51- At 10.- Come on!- At 10.

0:37:51 > 0:37:55At 10. 12. 14. 16 I'm bid. 18?

0:37:55 > 0:37:5718. £20.

0:37:57 > 0:38:0022? 22. All done now at £22.

0:38:00 > 0:38:01Yes!

0:38:01 > 0:38:05First blood to the lassie. A nice profit of £17.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09I might as well give up now. There's no point in me sitting here.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11Oh, don't do that, Mark,

0:38:11 > 0:38:14just as your favourite purchase goes under the hammer.

0:38:14 > 0:38:15£60?

0:38:16 > 0:38:18£60? 55? 50.

0:38:18 > 0:38:21£40. Start the bidding now at £40.

0:38:21 > 0:38:26£40. 30 bid. That's 30. 35 at the back. 35.

0:38:26 > 0:38:3040. 40 bid only. 45.

0:38:30 > 0:38:3250? Come on, a wee bit more.

0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Come on!- 50. 55. 60.

0:38:35 > 0:38:3765? Come on, a wee bit more.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40I'm doing your trick here!

0:38:40 > 0:38:42- All done now. - Come on, it's worth more than that.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44He's shouting! Come on!

0:38:44 > 0:38:46I need some help here.

0:38:46 > 0:38:4765. 70.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50Thank you, sir. I'm getting the hang of this!

0:38:50 > 0:38:54Sold! Give him a round of applause, guys!

0:38:54 > 0:38:55Thank you, thank you.

0:38:55 > 0:38:59There's one happy chappy, and so he should be,

0:38:59 > 0:39:03with a whopping £45 of profit, less commission.

0:39:03 > 0:39:06- That's a good price.- Are you happy, darling?- I'm happier now, yeah.

0:39:07 > 0:39:11Now for Anita's Arts and Crafts clock.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13I have a 75. Any advance on 75?

0:39:13 > 0:39:15£75. Any advance on 75?

0:39:15 > 0:39:16£75 only.

0:39:16 > 0:39:1880. 85.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20£90. £90 I'm bid.

0:39:20 > 0:39:25At 90. At £90. All out on £90. Selling now at £90.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27Yes!

0:39:27 > 0:39:32£66 profit and Anita, it seems, is on a roll.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36Anita, it was a nice clock, I admit that, it was your best buy.

0:39:37 > 0:39:41Watch out, Scotland! Here's Robert Dudley.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43The auctioneer thought the plaque was the best item.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46Well, he's clearly wrong because the clock was the best item.

0:39:46 > 0:39:50- You've maybe...- It's not going to make £90, let's be honest.

0:39:50 > 0:39:54The first Governor of the Netherlands. 150, 120, £100?

0:39:54 > 0:39:55£100 on it. Bid.

0:39:55 > 0:39:56Any advance on 100?

0:39:56 > 0:40:00At £100. 100. Any advance on 100?

0:40:00 > 0:40:03Come on, guys, we're needing a bit. Lady's getting rather excited there.

0:40:03 > 0:40:05£100.

0:40:05 > 0:40:06At 100. Any advance on 100? At 100.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Well done!

0:40:09 > 0:40:13From £17 to a ton. Beat that, smiler!

0:40:13 > 0:40:17- Was that a wee smile on your face? - A wee smile.

0:40:19 > 0:40:22Now for Anita's Scottish glassware.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24£50. 45 to start.

0:40:24 > 0:40:26£45 to start the bidding.

0:40:26 > 0:40:2730 bid.

0:40:27 > 0:40:3135. 40. 40 bid. 45.

0:40:31 > 0:40:3350. 50 bid.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35At 50. Any advance on 50? At £50.

0:40:35 > 0:40:37- Come on, boys, a wee bit more. - That's it.

0:40:37 > 0:40:40All done now at £50.

0:40:40 > 0:40:42Not bad, Anita, for a £20 outlay.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44That is a very good price.

0:40:44 > 0:40:48- And I am very happy. - I'm very happy you're happy!

0:40:50 > 0:40:54And he'll be even happier if the embroidery does well.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56- £60?- Come on.- 45, then?

0:40:56 > 0:40:5830 to go.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00- We've got 30, so...- 35. 40.

0:41:00 > 0:41:0240 only. 40.

0:41:02 > 0:41:0445. 50.

0:41:04 > 0:41:08At £50. Come on. £50. Somebody needs to...

0:41:08 > 0:41:10- Come on!- It's getting you £50.- 55.

0:41:10 > 0:41:1255. Another wee bid.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15- You want it, madam!- 60.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17At 60. Any advance on 60?

0:41:17 > 0:41:20£60. The last time at £60. Yes, no? Here, then.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22Ah, yes!

0:41:22 > 0:41:27- You happy?- I'm happy with that. - And I do believe he is!

0:41:27 > 0:41:28It's reasonably good.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30It's blooming great!

0:41:30 > 0:41:34Now, we hold on tight for that dumb waiter.

0:41:35 > 0:41:40- A lovely object, lovely! - 50. 50 I'll start it.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43- Start it at £50.- It's not worth 50. - 40.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46Start at £30. Bid me, come on! £30.

0:41:46 > 0:41:51At £30. 35. £35, any advance on 35?

0:41:51 > 0:41:5335. I can go 36. £36?

0:41:53 > 0:41:5536. 38?

0:41:55 > 0:41:59At 38. Any advance on 38? £38.

0:41:59 > 0:42:01- Well done, Anita.- 38, good, good.

0:42:01 > 0:42:06- Good, good.- 38 was a good price for what you paid for it, in fairness.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10Very good indeed for an item costing all of £7.50.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12I think you're right.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14It was worth 38.

0:42:14 > 0:42:20So it's pretty much neck and neck after round 1 with Mark's nose just in front.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23Maybe Scotland could turn out to be bonnie for him after all.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26Mark began with £200,

0:42:26 > 0:42:32and made £124.40 profit after auction costs,

0:42:32 > 0:42:35leaving him £324.40.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39While Anita, who also started out with £200,

0:42:39 > 0:42:43made £94.40 after auction costs.

0:42:43 > 0:42:48So she now has £294.40 to spend tomorrow.

0:42:48 > 0:42:52- We've made substantial profits, Anita.- I so enjoyed that.

0:42:52 > 0:42:57- Are you pleased?- Oh, I'm ecstatic! - Is it my round?

0:42:57 > 0:42:59I think you've made more money, so it's your round!

0:42:59 > 0:43:02That's what I like to hear! Long may it continue!

0:43:02 > 0:43:09Join us tomorrow on Antiques Road Trip to see Mark catch sight of a bargain.

0:43:09 > 0:43:12That's a beautiful thing! Oh, I'm looking in the mirror. That's me!

0:43:12 > 0:43:15Huh! Anita models a brand-new look.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17Do I look like a standard lamp?

0:43:17 > 0:43:20But will Mark be in her shade at the auction?

0:43:20 > 0:43:23I don't think I could even look at these!
