0:47:50 > 0:47:57.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06'The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each and one big challenge.'
0:48:06 > 0:48:09- I'm going to declare war.- Why?
0:48:09 > 0:48:13'Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?'
0:48:13 > 0:48:15- 15 quid.- No.
0:48:15 > 0:48:19'The aim is to trade up and hope each antique turns a profit.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21'But it's not as easy as you might think
0:48:21 > 0:48:24- 'and things don't always go to plan.'- Push!
0:48:24 > 0:48:28'So, will they race off with a huge profit or come to a grinding halt?'
0:48:28 > 0:48:31- I'm going to go for it. - 'This is the Antiques Road Trip.'
0:48:35 > 0:48:39'Welcome to Scotland, where the mountains are tall,
0:48:39 > 0:48:46'the lochs are long and even if, for the non-native, the dialect can be a bit tricky to master,
0:48:46 > 0:48:49'folk are always happy to help out.'
0:48:49 > 0:48:53You've got "wee good" but have you got "murder" right?
0:48:53 > 0:48:56- Murder.- No. Open your mouth more.
0:48:56 > 0:49:00- Murder.- Enjoy it! Embrace your Rs! - Murder!
0:49:02 > 0:49:04'Ha! Mark Stacey and Anita Manning
0:49:04 > 0:49:09'are driving their marvellous Morris Minor through sumptuous Scotland this week.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12'Bargain-seekers and sightseers.'
0:49:12 > 0:49:15Mark, I thought we'd stop for a wee minute just to take in this scenery.
0:49:15 > 0:49:20It's a beautiful Scottish day. Little fluffy clouds in the sky.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24- Everything's gorgeous, isn't it? - It is beautiful, Anita. Start of the second day.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28- You dying to spend your money? - I'm absolutely itching to get my wallet out.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30Drive on!
0:49:30 > 0:49:36'Anita is an auctioneer from Glasgow with a fondness for Scottish jewellery.'
0:49:36 > 0:49:39- Could you that for in the region of £12?- No.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41'And the personality to light up a room.'
0:49:41 > 0:49:44- Do I look like a standard lamp? - SHE LAUGHS
0:49:44 > 0:49:50'On yesterday's programme, she employed some unusual negotiating tactics.'
0:49:50 > 0:49:52It's a wee bit wibbly-wobbly. Oops.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55- 'Before ending up quids in.' - HAMMER BANGS Yes!
0:49:57 > 0:50:00'Mark Stacey is a valuer and dealer from Brighton.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04'No surprise, then, that Regency is one of his favourite periods.'
0:50:04 > 0:50:07I tell you what, I always go for a shapely leg.
0:50:07 > 0:50:11'Mark's new to Scotland but learning fast.'
0:50:11 > 0:50:13Naughty me.
0:50:13 > 0:50:19'Thanks to some canny buys, Mark's on top, but we all know what pride comes before, don't we?'
0:50:19 > 0:50:23- I can't believe this. - 'They began with £200 each
0:50:23 > 0:50:25'and have already made a nice profit.
0:50:27 > 0:50:32- 'Anita goes into today's show with £294.40 to spend.' - HAMMER BANGS
0:50:32 > 0:50:37'And Mark is just ahead on £324.40.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40'Now, if they could just find their first shop...'
0:50:40 > 0:50:46- It's here. It's right turn! - I know, but I got my left and my right mixed up.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52'This week's journey travels from the Cairngorms,
0:50:52 > 0:50:55'via the charming cities of Edinburgh and Durham,
0:50:55 > 0:50:58'to Thirsk in North Yorkshire.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01'Today's show starts out in Wiston, South Lanarkshire,
0:51:01 > 0:51:05'and ends up at an auction showdown in Edinburgh.
0:51:06 > 0:51:11'The hamlet of Wiston, under Tinto Hill, is the home of Sunnyside Antiques.
0:51:11 > 0:51:16'Anita drops Mark off there before heading to her own destination.'
0:51:16 > 0:51:19And I want you to have a lovely time
0:51:19 > 0:51:23and I want you to spend, spend, spend.
0:51:23 > 0:51:27Oh, Anita, you are terrible! But remember, my darling,
0:51:27 > 0:51:30I've got more money than you to spend, spend, spend.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32- Dash it!- See you later!- Bye!
0:51:32 > 0:51:35'So with Anita's words ringing in his ears,
0:51:35 > 0:51:38- 'Mark strides purposefully off.' - Hello.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41- Good morning!- It's a bit chilly out there, isn't it?
0:51:41 > 0:51:44- Hi. I'm Mark.- I'm Mark, as well. That's a good start.
0:51:46 > 0:51:51'Sunnyside is the sort of shop where anyone could happily while away some time
0:51:51 > 0:51:54'surrounded by the essentials of a bygone era.'
0:51:54 > 0:51:58Oh, that's a beautiful thing, isn't it? Oh, sorry, I'm looking at the mirror and it's me.
0:51:58 > 0:52:04'Mark Stacey's disposition is verging on the sunny side, too, with his nose just in front.'
0:52:04 > 0:52:10Oh, look. Above it. I don't think it's quite the weather for a boater, do you?
0:52:11 > 0:52:14Now, this is really the height of luxury.
0:52:14 > 0:52:18You and I would normally go to work
0:52:18 > 0:52:21with our sandwiches wrapped up in silver foil.
0:52:21 > 0:52:25But if you were the man or lady who had everything,
0:52:25 > 0:52:27you'd actually take your sandwiches
0:52:27 > 0:52:31very delicately prepared with the crusts cut off
0:52:31 > 0:52:34in a solid-silver sandwich box.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37For me, it would be a very small sandwich.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40I'd probably keep my fondant fancies in there.
0:52:40 > 0:52:45'Very nice, but £185? A man might struggle for a real bargain here.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47'Not that Mr Stacey seems to care.'
0:52:47 > 0:52:52I do love these sort of shops. I mean, there is something for everyone.
0:52:52 > 0:52:57Although most of the things are out of my price range, it's not because they're over-priced.
0:52:57 > 0:52:59They're a fair retail price.
0:52:59 > 0:53:03But I simply never have enough money in these shops.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05BELL DINGS
0:53:06 > 0:53:10It's not my time up already, is it? Surely not.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13'Anita has motored on from Wiston
0:53:13 > 0:53:16'to arrive at the town of Innerleithen,
0:53:16 > 0:53:19'her first shopping destination.
0:53:19 > 0:53:22'In the 12th century, the son of King Malcolm IV
0:53:22 > 0:53:27'drowned near Innerleithen in what's now known as the Droont Pool.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30'And when the locals recovered his body,
0:53:30 > 0:53:34'the king bestowed the rights of sanctuary on the town.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36'It also has two antique shops. Phew.'
0:53:36 > 0:53:39- Hi there.- Hello, Brian. It's lovely to meet you.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42- Nice to meet you. - Lovely to be back in Innerleithen.
0:53:44 > 0:53:49'ABK Antiques is a little lesson in Scottish rural history.
0:53:49 > 0:53:54'A fitting contrast to Sunnyside and packed to the rafters with practical stuff,
0:53:54 > 0:53:56'like Brian's fine tool collection.'
0:53:56 > 0:54:00- I mean, isn't that beautifully made? - 150 to 200.- Yeah.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02Most of them are over 100 years old.
0:54:02 > 0:54:06I love them. I'm not an expert on tools, but I love to look at them
0:54:06 > 0:54:11and I think it's sort of thinking back to my childhood, seeing tools in the house.
0:54:11 > 0:54:15- Feel the weight of that. - SHE LAUGHS
0:54:15 > 0:54:19'Brian's esoteric collection includes items so obscure
0:54:19 > 0:54:23'that he can happily quiz his customers as to their use.'
0:54:23 > 0:54:26It's obviously a... Is it a measuring device?
0:54:26 > 0:54:28No? OK, right. Don't tell me.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32I don't... Is it an instrument of torture?
0:54:32 > 0:54:35- That's what it looks like! - That's what it looks like!
0:54:35 > 0:54:39Thumbs screws for a hoof or something like that.
0:54:39 > 0:54:41You better tell me.
0:54:41 > 0:54:45It's to hold a horse's mouth open when you're doing dental work.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48- Is that right?- And it was a thing that was used quite regular.
0:54:48 > 0:54:52'South Lanarkshire is a great horse-rearing area
0:54:52 > 0:54:57'and Brian has plenty more tack, including a pair of leather hoof boots.'
0:54:57 > 0:55:02I love these horses' shoes. I think they're great. What does that say?
0:55:02 > 0:55:04Red Rum?
0:55:05 > 0:55:08'Unfortunately not. They'd be worth a fortune.
0:55:08 > 0:55:14'The leather over-shoe could be used when a horse-drawn lawnmower was employed
0:55:14 > 0:55:19'so that the imprint of hooves didn't damage the lawn surface.'
0:55:19 > 0:55:23I think this'll bring a smile to Mark Stacey's face.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26'But £45, Anita?'
0:55:26 > 0:55:29Can you sell me these horse boots,
0:55:29 > 0:55:34these very useful horse boots, for...15 quid?
0:55:34 > 0:55:37- No. - SHE LAUGHS
0:55:37 > 0:55:40I was only kidding you on. I was only kidding you on.
0:55:40 > 0:55:45I need to buy them at round about the 25-ies.
0:55:45 > 0:55:48Round about the 25-ies.
0:55:48 > 0:55:51- 26?- No, 30. Bottom line.
0:55:51 > 0:55:54£30 and you're getting a wonderful bargain.
0:55:54 > 0:55:59Nobody else will have them. It's an item that's really unusual.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02- Could you...- Guaranteed money-maker.
0:56:02 > 0:56:05Well, you see, they might be because they're so crazy.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07Could you take another couple... Could you go 28?
0:56:07 > 0:56:12- OK, 28.- 28. That's great. We'll seal the deal at that.- Deal done.
0:56:12 > 0:56:14'After making one of her stranger buys,
0:56:14 > 0:56:20'Anita spies something she's a bit more familiar with. Also practical but a bit more decorative.'
0:56:20 > 0:56:22That's rather pretty.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25I mean, it's quite light for a paperweight.
0:56:25 > 0:56:29- It's probably the latter half of the 20th century.- I would think so.
0:56:29 > 0:56:35- And we've got this nice... - Cairngorms.- ..smoky topaz.
0:56:35 > 0:56:41'Topaz is easily confused with Scotland's own smoky quartz from the Cairngorms.
0:56:41 > 0:56:44'But the stone in this £30 paperweight is almost certainly European.'
0:56:44 > 0:56:48Silversmith's work. It's got the nice stone on it.
0:56:48 > 0:56:52A wee bit of detail. What I'd put on it is £12 to £18.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55Could you do that for in the region of £12?
0:56:55 > 0:56:58- No.- No. Uh-huh.- I'll do it for £25.
0:57:00 > 0:57:05- What is the very best...- £20. - 20 is the...
0:57:05 > 0:57:09If you could even come down to,
0:57:09 > 0:57:13perhaps take a wee bit more,
0:57:13 > 0:57:16a wee bit more, it would be...
0:57:16 > 0:57:20I'm not wanting to make huge amounts of money because I won't make it on that,
0:57:20 > 0:57:24- but I'm trying not to lose...- 18. OK?
0:57:25 > 0:57:28That's you getting an excellent buy.
0:57:28 > 0:57:31- It is pretty, isn't it? - It is, very nice.
0:57:31 > 0:57:35- It's at the top end of my estimate. - And the bottom end of mine.
0:57:35 > 0:57:39Do you know, a couple of pounds might make a difference.
0:57:40 > 0:57:43It makes a difference to me, as well.
0:57:43 > 0:57:47- No, 18 is the bottom. - 18's the bottom?- Yep.- That's lovely.
0:57:48 > 0:57:54'So, Anita is now the proud owner of one paperweight and a pair of horse boots.
0:57:54 > 0:57:58'And Mark is still in the paddock thinking seriously about a box.'
0:57:58 > 0:58:02That's quite a sweet little thing. It's a simple little mahogany box.
0:58:02 > 0:58:06Then on the top we've got "Dr R Mill Murray."
0:58:06 > 0:58:09So whoever owned this might have been a doctor.
0:58:09 > 0:58:11I don't know why but something's telling me that.
0:58:11 > 0:58:16It might have actually contained little bottles originally
0:58:16 > 0:58:18as a sort of apothecary box.
0:58:18 > 0:58:22So he might have kept some of his favourite medicines
0:58:22 > 0:58:27and lotions and potions in there for curing his patients.
0:58:27 > 0:58:32So there might be a little chance there. Mark, what about the little mahogany box?
0:58:32 > 0:58:37- The little mahogany box is 135. - Oh, gosh. I would love that but I think I can't do anything with that.
0:58:37 > 0:58:40I don't think it would make money at auction.
0:58:40 > 0:58:43- 'Saved by the bell.' - BELL DINGS
0:58:43 > 0:58:47'Anita doesn't go far, just a few steps to MC Collectables.
0:58:49 > 0:58:52'Unlike the next door neighbours, this is the traditional antique shop,
0:58:52 > 0:58:56'less paraphernalia, more Victoriana.'
0:58:56 > 0:58:58- See this wee brooch here. - Yes, my love?
0:58:58 > 0:59:04We see there's a photograph there. Is it a soldier or a sailor?
0:59:04 > 0:59:07That's a boy scout by the looks of it.
0:59:07 > 0:59:10It's the type of thing that you would put a lock of a loved one's hair.
0:59:10 > 0:59:14It's what we call a mourning brooch. A Victorian mourning brooch.
0:59:14 > 0:59:19And that little boy scout is in there. I wonder what happened to him.
0:59:19 > 0:59:25'Pendants and brooches containing portrait miniatures and locks of loved ones' hair
0:59:25 > 0:59:30'have been popular for centuries, particularly in the Victorian period.
0:59:30 > 0:59:34'The price of £20 reflects that Michael probably thinks it's pinchbeck,
0:59:34 > 0:59:37'a brass imitation of gold.'
0:59:37 > 0:59:40It looks as if somebody's maybe tested that there.
0:59:40 > 0:59:43- Did you test it?- No, I didn't, no, but I think it has been tested.
0:59:43 > 0:59:46It is, it's definitely pinchbeck.
0:59:46 > 0:59:48I still quite like it.
0:59:48 > 0:59:51I still quite like it. It depends on the price.
0:59:51 > 0:59:55- It's something that I could maybe go for.- I'd do it for 15.
0:59:55 > 0:59:59- Uh-huh.- Mm-hm.- Yeah. Erm... - 25 percent off.
0:59:59 > 1:00:02Could you do it for £10?
1:00:02 > 1:00:07- Go on then.- Can you do it for 10? Thank you very, very much. - It's all right, my dear.
1:00:07 > 1:00:12'Anita's eye catches the glint of amber glass. And if there's a bargain to be had...'
1:00:12 > 1:00:16I collect glass myself. This is quite pretty.
1:00:16 > 1:00:20There's no maker's name on it. And I prefer it to have a maker's name.
1:00:20 > 1:00:23But I think it's quite pretty and I am a sucker for glass.
1:00:23 > 1:00:28'No name and also no price. Anita's on the case.'
1:00:28 > 1:00:32- Michael, could you do that one for a tenner?- I think I could, yeah.
1:00:32 > 1:00:36- Yeah? OK. That's great.- OK? - No maker's name but it's still a bonny bit of glass.
1:00:36 > 1:00:40- That's lovely.- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
1:00:40 > 1:00:42'So, Anita's on a roll today.
1:00:42 > 1:00:48'Four in the bag at a cost of a mere £66, even with her hoof boots.
1:00:48 > 1:00:50'And meanwhile, at Sunnyside,
1:00:50 > 1:00:55'Mark has decided it's time to finally plump for one or two of the luxuries he's been longing for.'
1:00:57 > 1:01:00I've found a little agate or onyx box
1:01:00 > 1:01:06very nicely made, with these little gilt brass hinges.
1:01:07 > 1:01:10'It's made of alabaster actually, Mark.
1:01:10 > 1:01:15'Like onyx and agate, a mineral that's been carved by man since ancient times.
1:01:15 > 1:01:19'And the name may derive from an Egyptian goddess called Bast.
1:01:19 > 1:01:21'Believe that, you'll believe anything.'
1:01:21 > 1:01:27Now I am looking for a maker's mark. HG and S. Made in England.
1:01:27 > 1:01:32I would have put this around about 1910, 1920.
1:01:32 > 1:01:34It's really a bit of a nonsense piece
1:01:34 > 1:01:38because it's just for one of those people who had everything,
1:01:38 > 1:01:41for your desk, or even you could keep cufflinks in it.
1:01:41 > 1:01:44But it's just a very, very pretty little thing.
1:01:44 > 1:01:48The price on that at the moment is £40, which is not too bad, actually.
1:01:48 > 1:01:53The difficulty is you're relying really on people that have the same taste as me,
1:01:53 > 1:01:56who would like the finer things of life.
1:01:57 > 1:02:02'And what could be even more frivolous than that?'
1:02:02 > 1:02:09It's a little sort of purse that you'd have your sovereign for your carriage fare home after a ball.
1:02:09 > 1:02:11So you'd have this in your little elegant
1:02:11 > 1:02:16Edwardian or Victorian handbag, evening bag.
1:02:16 > 1:02:20We've got this little taffeta silk inside, a lovely blue,
1:02:20 > 1:02:25and of course, because it's been inside this little case, it's remained remarkably fresh,
1:02:25 > 1:02:28and the colour is just absolutely beautiful with that lovely...
1:02:28 > 1:02:32You've still got that water effect when you move it round in your hand.
1:02:32 > 1:02:39Well there's no price on it. So I'm either going to be leaving here very happy, or "greetin'".
1:02:39 > 1:02:42- 'Yes, Mark. That means crying.' - Is that right?
1:02:42 > 1:02:48'Those lessons from Anita are clearly paying off. Looks like he's learnt something else from her too,
1:02:48 > 1:02:51'Scottish glass can make a tidy profit.'
1:02:51 > 1:02:53Anita did very well with her Strathearn vase yesterday,
1:02:53 > 1:02:56but I think that was because she was the local girl.
1:02:56 > 1:02:58Not that I'm in any way bitter.
1:02:58 > 1:03:01I mean, I love this because I love the shape of it,
1:03:01 > 1:03:06and it's very much that Monart glass style, it's got that nice ground pontil on the bottom.
1:03:06 > 1:03:10But is it a £100 piece?
1:03:10 > 1:03:14A £20 piece or a £200 piece? I simply have no idea.
1:03:14 > 1:03:18'Monart from Moncrieff owes its distinctive look
1:03:18 > 1:03:22'to a family of Spanish glassblowers called the Ysarts,
1:03:22 > 1:03:25'who came to Scotland in 1915.
1:03:25 > 1:03:28'Their paperweights, scent bottles, vases and the like
1:03:28 > 1:03:34'were soon in huge demand at shops like Liberty and Tiffany's in the 20s and 30s.
1:03:34 > 1:03:40'And Mark's also tempted by something he does know a fair bit about.'
1:03:40 > 1:03:46It's quite nice detail on here, actually, even though it's a very simple, plain piece of silver.
1:03:46 > 1:03:49It's Sheffield but I think, looking at that mark,
1:03:49 > 1:03:53it's probably George V, late teens, early 20s, I think.
1:03:53 > 1:03:57So we'll put that there for the moment because that's 45.
1:03:57 > 1:04:03Mark, I need to start considering decisions now. I mean, this one I like.
1:04:03 > 1:04:06You've got 40 on it, which is a reasonable start.
1:04:06 > 1:04:09What would be the absolute lowest on that.
1:04:09 > 1:04:12- 30?- Not 25?- Not even 28.
1:04:12 > 1:04:17- HE LAUGHS - Not 29?- No. 30.- £30, OK.
1:04:17 > 1:04:21- And what about this one? You said 45 on that.- That's correct, erm...
1:04:23 > 1:04:27- I would come down to 38.- 38. - It would be worth more in scrap.
1:04:27 > 1:04:31This is the thing I absolutely adore, Mark.
1:04:31 > 1:04:36You've got it priced up at 105. What would be your absolutely lowest price on that?
1:04:36 > 1:04:38The best I could do would be...
1:04:39 > 1:04:43..90. If it helps, I'll go the extra 5 at 85.
1:04:43 > 1:04:49- Thank you, Mark. And this Monart. - I would do for 60.- 60.
1:04:49 > 1:04:52Gosh, Mark, you are giving me a conundrum.
1:04:52 > 1:04:56OK, so we have 153 for those three...
1:04:56 > 1:05:01Erm, and I'll put that one in, £200 the lot.
1:05:03 > 1:05:05I'm going to go for it.
1:05:05 > 1:05:10I've blown most of my budget, very close to my budget on four items in my first shop.
1:05:10 > 1:05:14Am I mad? Yes, of course I am. Completely.
1:05:14 > 1:05:17'I couldn't possibly comment, Mark.
1:05:17 > 1:05:23'So, while we give Mark the opportunity to pay up in haste and repent at leisure,
1:05:23 > 1:05:26'Anita is back on the road,
1:05:26 > 1:05:30'driving from Innerleithen to Roslin in Midlothian
1:05:30 > 1:05:34'to visit its world-famous, 15th century chapel.
1:05:36 > 1:05:39'If you've ever seen the movie of The Da Vinci Code,
1:05:39 > 1:05:45'then you'll probably recognise the chapel, which featured in a fairly climactic scene.
1:05:45 > 1:05:52'For centuries people have puzzled over the meaning of the rich and abundant carvings here.'
1:05:52 > 1:05:54Oh, Simon!
1:05:54 > 1:05:57This is the most extraordinary,
1:05:57 > 1:06:01- extraordinary place. - Yes, it's quite a place, isn't it?
1:06:04 > 1:06:06'Dan Brown, like many before him,
1:06:06 > 1:06:10'concluded that the carvings must be the key to a great secret,
1:06:10 > 1:06:14'usually involving Knights Templars and the Holy Grail,
1:06:14 > 1:06:16'but there's a confusing amount of Pagan imagery too,
1:06:16 > 1:06:19'as Anita's guide, Simon Beatty explains.'
1:06:19 > 1:06:23This green man, it's a symbol that pops up all over the world.
1:06:23 > 1:06:27It's a Pagan symbol originally. It's a god of nature, a god of fertility.
1:06:27 > 1:06:31Usually you get one or two in a church, we've got over 100.
1:06:31 > 1:06:34Do you sometimes feel that the eyes are following you around? SHE LAUGHS
1:06:34 > 1:06:38There are occasions when you do feel someone's watching you, certainly.
1:06:41 > 1:06:47'Amongst the incredible detail of what remains a working chapel are numerous quirks and curiosities,
1:06:47 > 1:06:51'like this, the oldest known carving of a Scottish bagpiper,
1:06:51 > 1:06:56'as well as a reminder or two of the nameless craftsman who built Roslin.'
1:06:56 > 1:06:59What a magnificent pillar!
1:06:59 > 1:07:02- The Apprentice Pillar. - Is that the Apprentice Pillar?- Yeah.
1:07:02 > 1:07:07- That's wonderful. I believe there's a story behind that?- There is, yes.
1:07:08 > 1:07:12The master mason was given the task of recreating a pillar that was in Rome.
1:07:12 > 1:07:15So he went off to Rome to look at this original pillar.
1:07:15 > 1:07:19While he was away, an apprentice mason carved this pillar,
1:07:19 > 1:07:23without permission of the master mason, the master mason came back,
1:07:23 > 1:07:28was very upset that someone had carved in his spot, and killed the apprentice for doing it.
1:07:28 > 1:07:32- That's very gruesome. - That is not a nice story, really.
1:07:33 > 1:07:36'He got his comeuppance, though.
1:07:36 > 1:07:41'This is the face of the master, condemned to stare forever at his apprentice's work.'
1:07:44 > 1:07:50'Those two could have done with making a study of Mark and Anita's harmonious working relationship.
1:07:50 > 1:07:53'Although the auction is still to come. Right now though,
1:07:53 > 1:07:57'Mark's reached Innerleithen, hot on Anita's shopping trail.'
1:07:57 > 1:08:00Anita Manning is in the vicinity.
1:08:00 > 1:08:02There's a number of shops on this street.
1:08:02 > 1:08:07I'm heading for the nearest one which is Keepsakes. And let's hope she's not in there.
1:08:09 > 1:08:12- Hello. You must be Margaret. - Hello, nice to meet you.- I'm Mark.
1:08:15 > 1:08:21'Even though he already has four items, Keepsakes has plenty to catch Mark's eye.
1:08:21 > 1:08:26'Like some typical Scottish pottery, as well as famous names like Susie Cooper and Clarice Cliff.'
1:08:26 > 1:08:29And what's on the Clarice Cliff clog, do you know?
1:08:29 > 1:08:35- The clog I think is about 400. - Oh, gosh! But I think it's a wee bit over my budget.
1:08:36 > 1:08:39'Mark's now getting even warmer,
1:08:39 > 1:08:44- 'following Anita's hoof steps to ABK.'- Hello.
1:08:46 > 1:08:49So this is just the sort of shop Anita Manning would love
1:08:49 > 1:08:53because it's got lots of little knick-knacks and interesting objects
1:08:53 > 1:08:58and Anita is very good at getting into shelves
1:08:58 > 1:09:01and finding something that a lot of other people would miss.
1:09:01 > 1:09:03But I tell you what I have found.
1:09:03 > 1:09:08These are a pair of brass lighthouse door fittings.
1:09:08 > 1:09:10And I think they're rather fun.
1:09:12 > 1:09:15The problem is, will they be a beacon at the saleroom?
1:09:15 > 1:09:20- What sort of price are you hoping to get for those? - About 85, I don't know.
1:09:20 > 1:09:24I do love them, actually, but choices, choices. What's this?
1:09:24 > 1:09:27- Don't you know what that is? - I don't think I do.
1:09:28 > 1:09:31- It's a prayer stool. - Oh, it is a prayer stool.
1:09:31 > 1:09:34I don't think I've ever seen one that shape before.
1:09:34 > 1:09:40- So is that Victorian, do you think? - I think so. It's well-upholstered. - Quite nice, isn't it?
1:09:40 > 1:09:45- It's quite well upholstered. Probably an oak frame, I would have thought.- Beautifully made, yes.
1:09:45 > 1:09:51- So how does it work? - Well, I think you actually... I think you just kneel like that.
1:09:51 > 1:09:55- Fun wee thing that, isn't it? - Different. - You've got it priced up at £25.
1:09:55 > 1:09:59- Can you be charitable with me? - I could do you it for 18.
1:10:03 > 1:10:07I've just seen that little box with N on it. What's it for?
1:10:07 > 1:10:10- It's for cigarette holders. - See, I like these two things.
1:10:11 > 1:10:18Brian, I wasn't intending to buy any more today. I was going to save my muster for tomorrow.
1:10:18 > 1:10:23- A bird in the hand, Mark. - Yes, I know. Oh, Brian, you are terrible. You're leading me astray.
1:10:23 > 1:10:28You'll go tomorrow, find nothing and say, "I wish I'd bought that stuff in Innerleithen."
1:10:28 > 1:10:32- Can I be cheeky with you?- Aye.- Very cheeky.- Course you can be cheeky.
1:10:32 > 1:10:34Could we do the two for 18?
1:10:36 > 1:10:40Do you the two for 20, how's that? That's an excellent bargain.
1:10:41 > 1:10:43I'm going to do it. Brian, thank you very much.
1:10:48 > 1:10:53Oh, my giddy aunt, what have I done? I've been rash again! I promised I wouldn't do this!
1:10:53 > 1:10:55And now I'm stuck with the consequences.
1:11:01 > 1:11:06'Day two finds our hero and heroine heavy in baggage and light in funds,
1:11:06 > 1:11:09'after a bumper start to their bargain-seeking tour.'
1:11:09 > 1:11:15We really don't know what's round the corner as far as antique shops go
1:11:15 > 1:11:19- and that's just such a pleasure. - Well, it is, but also quite a worry.
1:11:19 > 1:11:23'Mark has already splashed out £220 on six items.
1:11:23 > 1:11:26'Not least a potentially lucrative prayer stool.'
1:11:26 > 1:11:29WHISPERS: Please, please, huge profits.
1:11:29 > 1:11:33'Leaving him with just over £100.
1:11:33 > 1:11:36'While Anita spent £66 on four items,
1:11:36 > 1:11:39'including some fairly unusual hoof boots.'
1:11:39 > 1:11:44- Guaranteed money-maker. - 'Leaving her with just under £230.'
1:11:45 > 1:11:48'Today's canter is from Roslin to Edinburgh,
1:11:48 > 1:11:52'calling in on Thirsk, on the outskirts of Dalkeith.'
1:11:52 > 1:11:56- I tell you what, you save your legs, you go in there, I'll go in here. - OK.
1:11:58 > 1:12:01'Mark makes first for Drum Farm Antiques,
1:12:01 > 1:12:05'a vast barn of a place mostly filled with furniture
1:12:05 > 1:12:09'that's sure to appeal to trade buyers wanting to refurb and sell on.'
1:12:09 > 1:12:12If you need a chair, this is the place to come.
1:12:12 > 1:12:17'Retropolis, next door, certainly lives up to its name.
1:12:17 > 1:12:21'Not fine antiques but everyday items arranged decoratively,
1:12:21 > 1:12:24'with an emphasis on fun and kitsch.'
1:12:24 > 1:12:27Do I look like a standard lamp? SHE LAUGHS
1:12:27 > 1:12:29'A long way above standard, surely?
1:12:29 > 1:12:36'But after the fashion, Anita wastes no time in unearthing yet another very practical box.'
1:12:36 > 1:12:41In the west of Scotland they love Arts and Crafts beaten metal.
1:12:41 > 1:12:46I wonder if they'll like it in the east coast, as well? It is hand-hammered.
1:12:47 > 1:12:51And I love the text, I love that stylised text.
1:12:51 > 1:12:57'At the turn of the 20th century, Scotland experienced a flowering of Art Nouveau design.
1:12:57 > 1:13:02'The Scottish blend of Arts and Crafts, Celtic revival and Eastern influences
1:13:02 > 1:13:05'became known as the Glasgow School.'
1:13:05 > 1:13:08- Think we can do that for £20. - £20?- Yeah.
1:13:08 > 1:13:11- Could I make an offer of a tenner on it?- Oh!
1:13:11 > 1:13:16- LAUGHS - My wallet's contracting there. - SHE LAUGHS
1:13:16 > 1:13:20- If you can come to ten.- 12, 12... - If you can come to ten, it would give me a chance.
1:13:20 > 1:13:26I mean, I might make 18 on it. I might not get £18 but it might go to 18.
1:13:26 > 1:13:28- It's still 12.- It's still 12. SHE LAUGHS
1:13:28 > 1:13:35- Squeeze 12 out. I think you'll... - Can we come in between 10 and 12? - All right, £11.
1:13:35 > 1:13:38You'd think we were buying a Lamborghini or something.
1:13:38 > 1:13:44- I know, it's a blooming slipper box, but OK. £11, it's yours. - 11? Thank you very much.
1:13:44 > 1:13:51- I haven't got any change. - Do you want to just go for ten quid? HE LAUGHS
1:13:51 > 1:13:55- 'While Anita notches up another saving...' - OK, Anita. Good luck with it.
1:13:55 > 1:14:01'..Mark has decided that his dwindling funds are unlikely to be dispersed in Dalkeith.
1:14:01 > 1:14:05'Instead, he's liberated the little Morris for a trip to the university.
1:14:05 > 1:14:11'Mark travels from Dalkeith to Edinburgh, Scotland's capital.'
1:14:14 > 1:14:16'Dominated by a castle and a rock,
1:14:16 > 1:14:20'not forgetting the extinct volcano of Arthur's Seat,
1:14:20 > 1:14:26'Edinburgh is famous for its arts festival and its rich literary tradition.
1:14:26 > 1:14:29'Writers like Boswell and Sir Walter Scott lived here.
1:14:29 > 1:14:35'JK Rowling still does. It's also the birthplace of Robert Louis Stevenson,
1:14:35 > 1:14:39'author of the chilling Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde,
1:14:39 > 1:14:44'and where two real-life sinister characters, Burke and Hare,
1:14:44 > 1:14:48'went on a grizzly murder spree to supply corpses for medical research.
1:14:48 > 1:14:51'Mark's here to visit the Department of Anatomy,
1:14:51 > 1:14:57'where Gordon Findlater, the museum's curator, can show him plenty of old bones.'
1:14:57 > 1:15:01And it's the skeleton of William Burke.
1:15:01 > 1:15:06- Oh, gosh.- He's been hanging here for the last 190 years.- Yes. Gosh!
1:15:06 > 1:15:10He started on a murdering spree, as fortuitous as it was,
1:15:10 > 1:15:14an old soldier died in his lodging house owing money to Hare.
1:15:14 > 1:15:18One way of getting his rent back was to sell the body on to the anatomists.
1:15:18 > 1:15:22Shortly after that, another lodger in the lodging house took unwell with an infection,
1:15:22 > 1:15:26not good for business, so rather than wait until he died, they murdered him
1:15:26 > 1:15:30and again took the body along to the anatomists.
1:15:34 > 1:15:37I mean, what sort of price would they be paid per body?
1:15:37 > 1:15:42Well, they reckon £10, £12 in the winter and down to £7 in the summer.
1:15:42 > 1:15:47Mind you, even £7, if we're looking at the 1820s, that was an awful lot of money.
1:15:47 > 1:15:50Some people were probably paid £7 a year back then.
1:15:50 > 1:15:56I'm not sure, but I think I read somewhere that it was the equivalent of £10,000 or £12,000.
1:15:57 > 1:15:59'Burke and Hare murdered 15 people
1:15:59 > 1:16:03'over the course of nine months before they were finally arrested.'
1:16:06 > 1:16:08Burke was sentenced to...
1:16:08 > 1:16:11He was sentenced to be hung. In fact, his sentence was to be hung,
1:16:11 > 1:16:17dissected and put on display, hence why we have him here to this day, that was part of his sentence.
1:16:17 > 1:16:24'Incredibly, William Hare, who had testified against his partner, escaped punishment entirely.'
1:16:24 > 1:16:28Here we have the life masks of Burke and Hare.
1:16:28 > 1:16:31And above is the death mask of Burke.
1:16:31 > 1:16:35- Showing the...- Garrotte marks going around the back of his neck.
1:16:35 > 1:16:3925,000 people were in the Lawnmarket to watch Burke's hanging.
1:16:39 > 1:16:42So it was a public spectacle.
1:16:42 > 1:16:45- He wasn't very popular. - Very, very unpopular.
1:16:50 > 1:16:53'From body snatchers to bargain grabbers.
1:16:53 > 1:16:58'Anita now has five items. So will she stop the shop? Not likely!'
1:16:58 > 1:17:01I have one more shop. I have five items.
1:17:01 > 1:17:04However, I have a cunning plan.
1:17:04 > 1:17:09What I was thinking, if I see a nice piece of jewellery,
1:17:09 > 1:17:15then I can buy it, I can put it in with my little brooch just to bulk it up a bit.
1:17:15 > 1:17:21'Anita is travelling from Dalkeith to North Berwick
1:17:21 > 1:17:24'to visit Lovage & Lace.'
1:17:24 > 1:17:28- Helen, can I have a wee look around? - Yes. - This looks absolutely wonderful.
1:17:28 > 1:17:32'Lovage & Lace sells a mixture of antique, vintage and reproduction.
1:17:32 > 1:17:36'Anita, though, has eyes for only one thing.'
1:17:36 > 1:17:38I want to have a look at the jewellery now.
1:17:40 > 1:17:43That's a lovely thing. That's not dear.
1:17:43 > 1:17:47I'm looking for something specific. SHE LAUGHS
1:17:47 > 1:17:53And I'm being pulled away by this marvellous vintage costume jewellery, which I absolutely love.
1:17:53 > 1:17:56Can we look at that wee cat brooch?
1:17:56 > 1:17:59I think that's lovely. I think it looks French.
1:17:59 > 1:18:02- I know. - SHE LAUGHS
1:18:02 > 1:18:07- It's very tempting, but it won't... - You can have it for... What's on it? 16.
1:18:07 > 1:18:10You can have it, as it's you, for 13. How about that?
1:18:10 > 1:18:14- It's got that sort of je ne sais quoi.- Yes, it does.
1:18:14 > 1:18:18- It's very stylish.- A bit of style. - Everything from France is stylish.
1:18:19 > 1:18:22Can I look at it in the daylight?
1:18:22 > 1:18:25I think it's from the 1930s
1:18:25 > 1:18:29and I like the form. It's a stylised cat.
1:18:29 > 1:18:34Would I be able to make you an offer for it?
1:18:34 > 1:18:37- £10?- No. I'll do it for 12 for you.
1:18:37 > 1:18:40- I can't. Because it's such a bargain already at that.- Yes.
1:18:40 > 1:18:43Would you take 10? I could take a chance on 10.
1:18:43 > 1:18:45- On 10.- No. I'll take 11.
1:18:45 > 1:18:4911? Shall we just go for it? Let's go for it! THEY LAUGH
1:18:50 > 1:18:54'With the cat in the bag, it's time for Anita to meet Mark
1:18:54 > 1:18:57'and reveal what she's been up to for the last few days.'
1:18:57 > 1:19:01- Shall I start?- Yes. - OK. I'll dig into my wee bag
1:19:01 > 1:19:05and take out a little silver decanter holder.
1:19:05 > 1:19:10The price of silver is high just now. Did you have to pay a lot of money?
1:19:10 > 1:19:15- I paid £38 for it. - £38? That's not bad at all.
1:19:15 > 1:19:18'And now for Anita's paperweight.'
1:19:18 > 1:19:21It's continental silver. Marked 925.
1:19:21 > 1:19:26- OK.- So we have this rather nice work on the silver here,
1:19:26 > 1:19:31- this lovely smoky topaz. - But the crucial question, Anita,
1:19:31 > 1:19:33- how much?- I paid 18 for it.
1:19:33 > 1:19:35- That's very reasonable. - Do you think so?- I do.
1:19:35 > 1:19:40- I was hoping to get it round about £12.- I think you're being very mean, Anita.
1:19:40 > 1:19:44'One of Mark's luxuries, the alabaster box.'
1:19:44 > 1:19:49When you open it up, it's marked with a marker's mark and made in England.
1:19:49 > 1:19:53So I think that fits the 1920s. I paid 30.
1:19:53 > 1:19:58- Well, it's not too bad. - It's on the border, isn't it?
1:19:58 > 1:20:04My next item is a piece of 20th century design.
1:20:04 > 1:20:07When I lifted it up, it's a good weight.
1:20:07 > 1:20:11- Yes.- I saw this beautifully finished base here.- Yes.
1:20:11 > 1:20:13- Smoothed off with a pontil.- Mm-hm.
1:20:13 > 1:20:16So there is quality there.
1:20:16 > 1:20:19- How much did you pay for it? - £10.- Well, it's nothing, is it?
1:20:19 > 1:20:24- My third item is also a piece of glass.- That's Monart.
1:20:24 > 1:20:28I just fell in love with that sort of banister shape.
1:20:28 > 1:20:31It's very curvaceous, it's very touchable.
1:20:31 > 1:20:35You want to stroke it and feel it. I paid 47 for it.
1:20:35 > 1:20:40That's a very conservative price. That's a very good price.
1:20:40 > 1:20:44- Do I see a wee nick here? - No, you didn't see a wee nick there. - SHE LAUGHS
1:20:46 > 1:20:49Right, my next item,
1:20:49 > 1:20:52very useful item, no home should be without them.
1:20:52 > 1:20:57- SHE LAUGHS Clip-clop, clip-clop.- Oh, Anita!
1:20:57 > 1:21:02Anita Manning! I mean, you're going from the sublime to the ridiculous here!
1:21:02 > 1:21:08- What on earth did you buy them for? - These may have belonged to
1:21:08 > 1:21:12a very famous racehorse. In fact, I'll just have a wee look.
1:21:12 > 1:21:17- Red Rum. Look!- Oh, no, murder. - THEY LAUGH
1:21:17 > 1:21:20- So you paid nothing for them?- £28.
1:21:20 > 1:21:24- Do you like them?- Er, no. But shall I gallop on to my next item?
1:21:24 > 1:21:28'A little prayer stool from the very same shop.'
1:21:28 > 1:21:33- I think it's been reupholstered by a carpenter.- Do you think so? Do you?
1:21:33 > 1:21:36The dealer said I could have it for £18.
1:21:36 > 1:21:40And then I spotted this. He said I could have them both for 20.
1:21:40 > 1:21:43- Uh-huh.- And I thought it was a little bit of fun.
1:21:43 > 1:21:48- Are you going to put them as one lot? - Yes.- I think that's a lovely wee box and I like pokerwork.
1:21:48 > 1:21:52Although, you didn't do too well in pokerwork in your last sale.
1:21:52 > 1:21:54- Thanks for reminding me. - Sorry for reminding you.
1:21:54 > 1:21:58- You carry on. Shall I get you the tab of salt now? - SHE LAUGHS
1:21:58 > 1:22:02'Next, Anita's Art Nouveau slipper box.'
1:22:02 > 1:22:04It's rather sweet, actually.
1:22:04 > 1:22:08I like beaten metal work and it goes for very good prices at auction.
1:22:08 > 1:22:14- Did you pay a lot for it?- £11. - Well, I can't really say anything.
1:22:14 > 1:22:18- It's a good price for that.- It is. It's a little ladies' sovereign case.
1:22:18 > 1:22:23- Oh, that's so sweet.- With a lovely blue organza silk inside.
1:22:23 > 1:22:25- And that's the original material. - It is.
1:22:25 > 1:22:28- I have to ask you now, how much? - I paid £85.
1:22:28 > 1:22:32On a good day with a good wind behind the sails,
1:22:32 > 1:22:34- you could go to £150. - Oh, thank you, Anita.
1:22:34 > 1:22:37'Anita's jewellery joint lot.'
1:22:37 > 1:22:41Now, it's a typical Victorian mourning brooch.
1:22:41 > 1:22:44I'm sending it to the auction as yellow metal.
1:22:44 > 1:22:47But it has some quality.
1:22:47 > 1:22:49I bought it for £10.
1:22:49 > 1:22:54- Oh, Anita.- Yeah.- Are you going to be adventurous at all in this leg?
1:22:54 > 1:22:56And you've got another one here.
1:22:56 > 1:23:00It's a little stylised cat. It is continental
1:23:00 > 1:23:05and it may well be a little Parisian moggy.
1:23:05 > 1:23:09- £11.- So that's £21. - 21 for the two.- OK.
1:23:09 > 1:23:13Well, Anita, I think it's a tale of two buying trips this time.
1:23:13 > 1:23:18I mean, I think I've gone for reasonable quality pieces.
1:23:18 > 1:23:24You've bought wisely, as I expected. And we'll find out what happens at the auction.
1:23:24 > 1:23:26'And here's what they really think.'
1:23:26 > 1:23:30The Red Rum two-legged horse clippety-clop things,
1:23:30 > 1:23:33I wouldn't have touched them for £24.
1:23:33 > 1:23:36But Anita's had wacky things before and made a profit.
1:23:36 > 1:23:39That kneeler, it's more like a cat scratcher.
1:23:39 > 1:23:43It's absolutely horrible.
1:23:43 > 1:23:47Comparing the two lots, I've really bought better items.
1:23:47 > 1:23:51Whether that'll result in better profits, it's anyone guess, really.
1:23:51 > 1:23:56I'm not taking as much chance as Mark is on this one
1:23:56 > 1:24:02and I think that I probably have the edge on this sale.
1:24:04 > 1:24:08'After starting out in the Lanarkshire countryside at Wiston,
1:24:08 > 1:24:11'this leg of our bargain battle will be decided in Edinburgh
1:24:11 > 1:24:15'at the auctioneers Thomson Roddick & Medcalf.'
1:24:15 > 1:24:18- Are you excited?- I'm very excited. I'm always excited.
1:24:18 > 1:24:22You've bought lovely items and I'm sure you'll make a profit.
1:24:22 > 1:24:27- And, of course, you didn't, Anita, and I'm sure you will make a profit. Shall we get in?- Yes.
1:24:27 > 1:24:30- I'll hold your hand, darling. - Come on, lead the way, darling.
1:24:30 > 1:24:35'The Edinburgh public are gathering. to inspect the goods and the hammer is poised to fall,
1:24:35 > 1:24:41'but Mark and Anita are keen to grab a quick word with auctioneer Sybelle Thomson.'
1:24:41 > 1:24:44- How are they going to do? - We'll keep our fingers crossed.
1:24:44 > 1:24:47You bought one or two nice quality items.
1:24:47 > 1:24:50- Well, I did. - Well, I don't know who bought what. - THEY LAUGH
1:24:50 > 1:24:55I particularly like the little Georgian ivory purse,
1:24:55 > 1:24:58which is particularly special and probably inlaid with gold.
1:24:58 > 1:25:01The horse hoof covers, I think they're great fun,
1:25:01 > 1:25:05they're a real novelty collectors item. They're interesting and so we'll see.
1:25:06 > 1:25:12- 'Anita has spent £88 on five lots.' - We'll seal the deal at that. - Deal done.
1:25:13 > 1:25:19- 'While Mark has lavished £220 also on five lots.' - There we are. Crisp notes.
1:25:19 > 1:25:23- 'Let's go.' - One minute to go. Are you excited?
1:25:23 > 1:25:25I am excited. And nervous, of course, as usual.
1:25:27 > 1:25:29'Kicking off with the hoof boots.'
1:25:29 > 1:25:32- I've got 20 bid on commission. - 20 is bid.- 20 bid.
1:25:32 > 1:25:3425. 30.
1:25:34 > 1:25:375. 40. You're all out seated. Make no mistake.
1:25:37 > 1:25:42They're on commission at 40. Anyone going on? At £40.
1:25:42 > 1:25:43Well, that's not bad, Anita.
1:25:43 > 1:25:48'A profit of £12 before commission on the boots.'
1:25:48 > 1:25:51It's more Red Rum than Dobbin.
1:25:51 > 1:25:54'Next, Mark's Monarch vase.'
1:25:54 > 1:25:57100. 50. 50.
1:25:57 > 1:25:59- Come on.- 30 bid.- 35.
1:25:59 > 1:26:02- 40.- Oh, no.- £40. Any advance on 40?
1:26:02 > 1:26:0745. £50. Bid's with the lady at 50. 55.
1:26:07 > 1:26:11- Any advance on 55?- Come on. - Selling to my right at 55.
1:26:11 > 1:26:16- 60.- Oh, new place. - £60. Right at the back at 60.
1:26:16 > 1:26:1865. 65.
1:26:18 > 1:26:21- Any advance on 65? - HAMMER BANGS
1:26:21 > 1:26:25'Almost £20 made. Not to be sniffed at.'
1:26:25 > 1:26:27So it's a small profit but at least it's a profit.
1:26:27 > 1:26:30'Next, Anita's anonymous glass.'
1:26:30 > 1:26:33Who'd like to start me? £30 for it. 30.
1:26:33 > 1:26:36- 20. 20 bid.- 20 bid.- 20.
1:26:36 > 1:26:4020 bid. Who's going on? At 20 bid. 25. 30.
1:26:40 > 1:26:43£30. Still on commission at £30.
1:26:43 > 1:26:47- Yes!- 'Also a good return.'
1:26:47 > 1:26:53Not huge profits, but reasonable, decent, working profits.
1:26:53 > 1:26:57'Now Mark's favourite item, the sovereign purse.'
1:26:57 > 1:27:02Quite a lot of bids on it and I'm going to start it at £65. 65.
1:27:02 > 1:27:0570. 5. 80. 5.
1:27:05 > 1:27:09- 85. With me on commission at 85. - Come on.
1:27:09 > 1:27:12- 85. 90. 5.- On the phone.
1:27:12 > 1:27:16- 100. 100.- Come on, a bit more. Come on.- On the telephone at 100.
1:27:16 > 1:27:20- A little bit more. - At 100. Any advance on 100?
1:27:20 > 1:27:24- Oh, no.- On the phone at £100.
1:27:24 > 1:27:26Oh, that's disappointing.
1:27:26 > 1:27:29'Certainly not what he'd hoped for.'
1:27:29 > 1:27:32Technically, after commission, that's a loss.
1:27:32 > 1:27:35'Anita's Scottish slipper box.'
1:27:35 > 1:27:40- 20 bid. 20 bid.- We're in at 20. - 25. 30.- That's good.
1:27:40 > 1:27:42On the right at 30. Anyone else going on?
1:27:42 > 1:27:46At 30. The bid's on my right at £30.
1:27:46 > 1:27:49Well, you were spot on there, Anita. Absolutely spot on.
1:27:49 > 1:27:52'Thanks to some shrewd bargaining,
1:27:52 > 1:27:54'another small gain for Anita.'
1:27:54 > 1:27:58I would've liked a wee bit more, but then again, I'm happy with that.
1:27:58 > 1:28:01'Mark's silver coaster is under the hammer next.
1:28:01 > 1:28:04'But Mark's head, it seems, is elsewhere.'
1:28:04 > 1:28:075. 50. 5.
1:28:07 > 1:28:10- 60. 5.- Ooh.- 70.- Is this mine?- 5.
1:28:10 > 1:28:13- 75.- Never.- Standing on my left at 75.- No. Is it?
1:28:13 > 1:28:17Would anyone else like in? At £75.
1:28:17 > 1:28:20- Yes!- £75, Anita.
1:28:20 > 1:28:25'Full marks for silver. £37 profit before commission.'
1:28:25 > 1:28:28That's pushed me right back in the game, Anita.
1:28:28 > 1:28:32'Anita's smoky topaz paperweight.'
1:28:32 > 1:28:35£30 to make a start. 30. 30 bid.
1:28:35 > 1:28:3730 bid. 35. 40.
1:28:37 > 1:28:405. 45. 45.
1:28:40 > 1:28:42At £45.
1:28:42 > 1:28:46- 'Not a hefty profit, but over twice the cost.'- What do I know, Anita?
1:28:46 > 1:28:50- I clearly know absolutely nothing. - Oh, well, as long as you admit it.
1:28:50 > 1:28:53'That tasteful alabaster box.'
1:28:53 > 1:28:56- 20 bid. 20 bid. - Oh, please, a bit more.
1:28:56 > 1:28:58£20. First and only bid of 20.
1:28:58 > 1:29:01Anyone going on for a nice alabaster box at 20?
1:29:01 > 1:29:04At £20.
1:29:04 > 1:29:06Damn.
1:29:06 > 1:29:11- 'A £10 loss before commission.' - No, that's disappointing.
1:29:11 > 1:29:13'Anita's little jewellery lot.'
1:29:13 > 1:29:16The mourning brooch and cat brooch at 45.
1:29:16 > 1:29:18- 45.- 50. 5. 60.
1:29:18 > 1:29:24- 5. 65. Still on commission at 65. - That must've been gold, Anita.
1:29:24 > 1:29:27At £65. 901.
1:29:27 > 1:29:29A very sharp profit.
1:29:29 > 1:29:33Oh, dear. I knew this was going to be a bad day.
1:29:33 > 1:29:37'Now, does this lot have a prayer?'
1:29:37 > 1:29:41- £85.- I don't think I can even look, Anita. I can't even look.
1:29:41 > 1:29:44Who'd like to start me at £40 for these? 40.
1:29:44 > 1:29:48- 20. 20. £20.- Oh, come on.
1:29:48 > 1:29:5120. £10. Beautifully upholstered. At 10.
1:29:51 > 1:29:53£10. £10. Anyone for 10?
1:29:53 > 1:29:57- I don't think it's going to sell. - £10. 10 bid. 10 bid.
1:29:57 > 1:30:00- Oh, no. - 10 bid. First and only bid of 10.
1:30:00 > 1:30:02- Come on.- 12.- 12!- Come on!
1:30:02 > 1:30:05- 12. Have another, sir. At 12. - It's lovely! Come on!
1:30:05 > 1:30:08- At £12.- Oh, that's terrible.
1:30:08 > 1:30:12'An £8 loss before auction costs.
1:30:12 > 1:30:14'Seems like he wasn't listening, Mark.'
1:30:14 > 1:30:17£12, Anita.
1:30:17 > 1:30:19I can't say that I'm surprised.
1:30:21 > 1:30:25'Anita's less than consoling words are tempered by the knowledge
1:30:25 > 1:30:29'that she now leads by about £50. Call it a short head.
1:30:29 > 1:30:33'Mark began with £324.40
1:30:33 > 1:30:37'and made £3.04 after auction costs,
1:30:37 > 1:30:42'so he now has £327.44 to spend tomorrow.
1:30:43 > 1:30:47'Anita started this round with £294.40
1:30:47 > 1:30:51'and made £84.20 after auction costs,
1:30:51 > 1:30:57'leaving her with £378.60 to spend tomorrow.'
1:30:57 > 1:30:59Never mind, Mark. Not much ahead.
1:30:59 > 1:31:04- Don't be depressed. We'll go for a wee spin and have a nice cup of tea. - Wonderful.
1:31:04 > 1:31:06- The ride's on you. - SHE LAUGHS
1:31:09 > 1:31:13'Join us tomorrow when Mark celebrates a bargain find.'
1:31:13 > 1:31:16- And a kiss.- Absolutely.
1:31:16 > 1:31:19'And Anita unlocks a little bit of history.'
1:31:19 > 1:31:26- This is actually a piece of Napoleon's hair?- That's amazing. We didn't know that was there.
