0:47:50 > 0:47:57.
0:48:01 > 0:48:07- The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each and one big challenge.- Cos I'm declaring war.
0:48:07 > 0:48:14- Why?- Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?- Nothing in here.
0:48:14 > 0:48:19- The aim is to trade up and hope each antique turns a profit. - Disappointing.
0:48:19 > 0:48:24- But it's not as easy as you might think and things don't always go to plan.- Push!
0:48:24 > 0:48:29- Will they race off with a huge profit or come to a grinding halt? - I'm nervous now.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:48:35 > 0:48:42All this week, we're out on the road with gents about town James Braxton and Jonathan Pratt.
0:48:42 > 0:48:47The cheeky James Braxton is a tough taskmaster when it comes to naming his price.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50At the end of the day, I'll try and squeeze you on a price.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54Jonathan, on the other hand, is feeling the pressure.
0:48:54 > 0:48:58OK, £100. Oh, God, I'm so...so...
0:48:59 > 0:49:04Despite an unsold coral necklace, James was the clear winner.
0:49:04 > 0:49:08His Italian painting made more than £100 profit.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11- Very well done, James.- Thank you.
0:49:11 > 0:49:18Meanwhile, Jonathan bought a novel collection of items, including a chipped pepper pot,
0:49:18 > 0:49:23a chipped glass-bottomed mug and a silver-mounted glass bottle which was cracked.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26Not surprisingly, he lost.
0:49:26 > 0:49:29- What would you do for that?- 25.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32I'll have it. I like it. I like it a lot.
0:49:32 > 0:49:37From his original £200, new leader James has taken pole position
0:49:37 > 0:49:41with a respectable £318.46 to play with.
0:49:41 > 0:49:46Have the nerves got the better of our once triumphant Jonathan?
0:49:46 > 0:49:50He's back to the beginning with a paltry £206.36.
0:49:50 > 0:49:54James's trusty MG is the chariot of choice as they battle it out
0:49:54 > 0:49:58in the third leg of this week's road trip.
0:49:58 > 0:50:02This week, James and Jonathan are travelling over 300 miles
0:50:02 > 0:50:08all the way from Altrincham to the warm southern shores of Lostwithiel in Cornwall.
0:50:08 > 0:50:13On today's show, they're leaving Birmingham, heading for their next auction in Frome, Somerset.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15First stop, though,
0:50:15 > 0:50:18is Warwickshire's literary jewel in the crown - Stratford upon Avon.
0:50:18 > 0:50:23This historic market town has more than 800 years of history
0:50:23 > 0:50:29and is, of course, best known as the birthplace of the world-famous playwright William Shakespeare.
0:50:29 > 0:50:36The boys haven't made a lot of money, so they'll be raring to go and getting lots of focus by...
0:50:36 > 0:50:39going for a sail down the River Avon!
0:50:39 > 0:50:43Right, that's enough sightseeing, chaps.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46Let's get on with some shopping.
0:50:46 > 0:50:50The first shop is Stratford Antiques Centre.
0:50:50 > 0:50:56Let's begin with Jonathan. He's lagging behind. Last time, he didn't haggle, bought lots of cracked items
0:50:56 > 0:50:58and well...
0:50:58 > 0:51:01What's this he's looking at now? Oh, no.
0:51:01 > 0:51:07I've got a thing for pepperettes at the moment. It's a little pepperette formed as an owl.
0:51:07 > 0:51:13It's a lead body, would have been plated. Little glass eyes. It's not what he started off life as.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15This wooden base is later
0:51:15 > 0:51:18and you can see the glue it's been stuck on to it with.
0:51:18 > 0:51:23But it's quite nicely made. Glass eyes which might have been replaced.
0:51:23 > 0:51:27Pepperettes were extremely popular at the Victorian dining table,
0:51:27 > 0:51:30a novel way of seasoning one's meat and two veg.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32A pity his feet are missing!
0:51:32 > 0:51:36How much is that? There's no ticket on it. Would you take...
0:51:36 > 0:51:40I'm going to be mean. Would you take £15 for it?
0:51:40 > 0:51:42Um... I'd take 20, I think.
0:51:42 > 0:51:46- Owls and pigs are very popular. - Yeah.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Yeah, it's just...
0:51:49 > 0:51:52- I know it's been sort of...- Yeah.
0:51:52 > 0:51:55..in the wars a bit, hasn't it?
0:51:55 > 0:52:00There's no denying its age. I'm thinking that it's a late Victorian novelty.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03And the owl is wisdom. But I don't know why his feet have gone.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05Meet me halfway - £17.50?
0:52:05 > 0:52:11- That's OK.- Brilliant. That's my first purchase. That'll do nicely. I'll hand that over.
0:52:11 > 0:52:16A bit better on the price, Jonathan, but I did mention those missing feet, old fruit.
0:52:16 > 0:52:22- There we go.- Thank you very much. And your change.- Thank you very much. Lovely. That's a good start.
0:52:25 > 0:52:32On the other hand, MG lover James is like a coiled spring. He's spotted something already.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35There are some little MG logos here, badges,
0:52:35 > 0:52:38which I might have a look at.
0:52:38 > 0:52:43And as quick as greased lightning, James finds antique dealer Tony.
0:52:43 > 0:52:47- Tony, I'm fascinated.- Yes. - Can you tell me a bit...
0:52:47 > 0:52:51- I have a nice MG TD.- OK.- My 1952...
0:52:51 > 0:52:55- I was interested in this little fellow.- This one here?- Yeah.
0:52:55 > 0:53:01The chap I bought it off, he wasn't quite sure how it was attached to the car.
0:53:01 > 0:53:07And I've certainly never found anyone so far who was able to throw much light on it, you know...
0:53:08 > 0:53:11- It's rather fun, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15- And it's sort of a cast alloy, isn't it?- Yes, it is.
0:53:15 > 0:53:21- Sometimes they had quite a nice badge at the back to go on the spare wheel.- That's right.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24If there was a locking... You know, on the earlier ones.
0:53:24 > 0:53:30- I mean, it stands up. I thought some MG owner might want to just stand it on his desk.- Yeah.
0:53:30 > 0:53:35- It would make a nice weight, that. - A paperweight, yes.
0:53:35 > 0:53:40- To all intents and purposes, it's rather nice and bright, isn't it?- Yes, it is.
0:53:40 > 0:53:44- That would clean up very nicely. - I'm sure it would, yes.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47I'm a terrible instinctive buyer, though.
0:53:47 > 0:53:51I look at something, I quite like it, and sort of tend to go for it.
0:53:51 > 0:53:55- This is an expensive place, Stratford upon Avon.- Yes, it is.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58- But it's not so expensive as some. - No, no.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01I can do you a deal on it, anyway.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04- Would you take a fiver for it, Tony? - TONY LAUGHS
0:54:04 > 0:54:08- No.- No? No?- No, no.
0:54:08 > 0:54:13It's like a boxer. You like to get in that sharp jab at the beginning, don't you?
0:54:13 > 0:54:17Well, you're at 5, I'm at 25. Will you meet me in the middle?
0:54:17 > 0:54:19- No. - LAUGHTER
0:54:21 > 0:54:26As you flatly rejected my five, I'm flatly rejecting your middle.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29- Can I just have a look and see?- Yeah.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32- I know. What does it say? You bought it for three?- No.
0:54:32 > 0:54:36It says to make a couple of quid, I've got to get ten for it.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39- Ten?- Yeah.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42- I'm not going to argue with you, Tony.- OK.- Ten?- Ten.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46Thank you very much indeed. It's coming home to the right person.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49Well, that's James sorted.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51What about Jonathan?
0:54:51 > 0:54:55That page turner with the leaf-type finial...
0:54:55 > 0:54:59- That's 120.- And it's got age? Is it late 19th century?- It's 1930s.
0:54:59 > 0:55:031930s. And the Scottish one on the left?
0:55:03 > 0:55:09- This one is an older one. - A late 19th century one with the Cairngorms inset in the handle?- Yes.
0:55:09 > 0:55:14- And that matchbox strike. Is that silver and enamel? - That is silver and enamel.
0:55:14 > 0:55:18- And the box with the chevrons on? - This one?- The wooden box.
0:55:18 > 0:55:23- Oh, this one. - Is it fitted for anything?- It's got some sewing bits and pieces.
0:55:23 > 0:55:26A substantial amount of time later...
0:55:28 > 0:55:32That's sitting in there. It hasn't moved out of there for ages.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36It's got a "CLC" on it.
0:55:36 > 0:55:40It's sort of like.. You know, it's a sort of otter hound or something.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42I do like that.
0:55:42 > 0:55:46- Even the lettering on it is nicely '30s.- Mm-hm.
0:55:46 > 0:55:51And EW is easy enough to... Anyone, Edward Wilson or something, you know?
0:55:51 > 0:55:56A page turner. Now, what do you mean, you don't have one?
0:55:56 > 0:55:59- You can have that for 100.- OK.
0:55:59 > 0:56:01These two would have to be 50 each.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04They've got to be £50 each.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06Instead of 100.
0:56:07 > 0:56:09OK...
0:56:09 > 0:56:12MUSIC: "Under Pressure", by Queen and David Bowie
0:56:14 > 0:56:16Oh, damn it.
0:56:16 > 0:56:18Oh, dear. Oh...
0:56:18 > 0:56:20OK...
0:56:20 > 0:56:24OK, £100. Oh, God, I'm so, so...
0:56:27 > 0:56:31# Pressure pushing down on me
0:56:31 > 0:56:35# Pressing down on you no man has more
0:56:35 > 0:56:37# Under pressure... #
0:56:37 > 0:56:39Is it worth committing to that?
0:56:39 > 0:56:42I'm going to bite the bullet because I like it.
0:56:42 > 0:56:48- I'll have that for £100.- Mm-hm. - Committed. I'm going to shake the hand now. There we go.
0:56:48 > 0:56:51100 smackers on a page turner?!
0:56:51 > 0:56:57I'm going to say "no" to the rest of them. I've done one bold move. I'm going to say "no" to the rest.
0:56:57 > 0:56:59If there's anything else...
0:56:59 > 0:57:03Oh, no. Quick, let's get out of here and leave him to it!
0:57:03 > 0:57:09Buoyed up by his MG purchase, James is distracted by the annual River Festival.
0:57:09 > 0:57:12But then he's easily distracted.
0:57:12 > 0:57:17Everyone knows Stratford is renowned as the birthplace of Willie Shakespeare,
0:57:17 > 0:57:21but the history of the canal boat reigns supreme here.
0:57:21 > 0:57:26It started with the Victorians with their desire to escape the smoggy industrial towns.
0:57:26 > 0:57:28- May I come on board?- By all means.
0:57:28 > 0:57:31- Mind your head.- Mind the head.
0:57:31 > 0:57:34Because in the boatman's cabin, there isn't a lot of room.
0:57:34 > 0:57:39Oh! Especially, if like Braxton, you're partial to a full English.
0:57:39 > 0:57:45Barge owner Brian has kindly allowed our James to step aboard. Well, clamber really.
0:57:45 > 0:57:50- I love the decoration in here. - Roses and castles, very classical.
0:57:50 > 0:57:57- Really?- I don't know whether they were a bit Romany or what their origins were.- It does look Romany.
0:57:57 > 0:58:01- This is where they ate.- So this is the table?- There's the table.
0:58:01 > 0:58:05- I use it as a booze cupboard, as you can see.- Very good.
0:58:05 > 0:58:09Man should only live on whisky and biscuits. I see you do!
0:58:09 > 0:58:12I do. Living proof that it works, yes!
0:58:12 > 0:58:18And interestingly enough, directly under this, this drawer was called the crumb drawer.
0:58:18 > 0:58:24- When they'd finished eating, when you tipped this up, all the crumbs went in the crumb drawer.- Great idea.
0:58:24 > 0:58:26- Ditch it outside.- Feed the ducks.
0:58:26 > 0:58:32A visit to a barge wouldn't be complete without having a gander at the engine room.
0:58:32 > 0:58:37Russell Newbery Diesel Engines are the heart of several hundred canal boats in the UK
0:58:37 > 0:58:40and were first manufactured in 1934.
0:58:40 > 0:58:44Brian, you seem very well set up here. Do you live all year on this?
0:58:44 > 0:58:48- Yes, I do.- Really?- I live on the boat all the year round.
0:58:48 > 0:58:52- And do you have a mooring? - No, I don't have a mooring.
0:58:52 > 0:58:56I cruise continually on what they call a continual cruiser.
0:58:56 > 0:58:59- A continual cruiser. - But I do moor up at night.
0:58:59 > 0:59:03Yes, naturally. While James is having a jolly and relaxed time,
0:59:03 > 0:59:06what's going on with our panicky Jonathan?
0:59:06 > 0:59:12Mr Pratt is travelling 50 miles south to the glorious town of Tetbury in the Cotswolds.
0:59:12 > 0:59:16He's still deliberating over that pricey page turner.
0:59:16 > 0:59:20I don't know. I really like it. I think it's a great object.
0:59:20 > 0:59:25£100 is a lot of money and I didn't have a lot of money to start with.
0:59:25 > 0:59:29And I've got to be so much more careful now. I am a bit nervous.
0:59:29 > 0:59:34Stop fretting, Jonathan, and get stuck in to your next shop - Top Banana.
0:59:34 > 0:59:37Stay away from cracked items, young man.
0:59:37 > 0:59:41And while you're at it, try a bit of haggling.
0:59:49 > 0:59:55It's quite nicely painted and this is tobacco staining, all this yellow, which adds to the age.
0:59:55 > 0:59:59And I'd say it's probably painted in the '30s.
0:59:59 > 1:00:01There's nothing on the back.
1:00:01 > 1:00:04£38.
1:00:07 > 1:00:10That'll clean up rather nicely, I think.
1:00:13 > 1:00:16It might appeal to a fellow skier like myself.
1:00:16 > 1:00:18A mountain man.
1:00:18 > 1:00:21Hardly, with my back, anyway.
1:00:21 > 1:00:25Antiques dealer Hugo opened for business over ten years ago.
1:00:25 > 1:00:31He's spotted Jonathan having a good old rummage around and wants to make sure he hasn't nicked anything.
1:00:31 > 1:00:35- It's not bad. I think it's oil on board.- Yeah, yeah.
1:00:35 > 1:00:40- I'd give you 30 quid for it. - If you give me 35, you can have it.
1:00:40 > 1:00:46There's no snow on the ground here. Every skier will look at it and say, "There's no snow on the ground.
1:00:46 > 1:00:52- "I don't want to be reminded about a bad ski holiday!"- It's romantic, though.- It's the summer time!
1:00:52 > 1:00:57- 30?- Go on then. Take it for 30. - Go on then. Thank you.- Deal.
1:00:57 > 1:01:01After all that shopping, Jonathan, it's time to turn in.
1:01:01 > 1:01:05Let's hope the doggy page turner doesn't give you nightmares.
1:01:07 > 1:01:12The boys are up with the lark for another day's shopping.
1:01:12 > 1:01:15James and Jonathan have travelled just over 30 miles
1:01:15 > 1:01:18to the pretty Wiltshire village of Castle Combe.
1:01:18 > 1:01:22So far, James has spent £10 on one lot -
1:01:22 > 1:01:24the MG steering wheel boss,
1:01:24 > 1:01:29leaving a whopping £308.46 for the day ahead.
1:01:29 > 1:01:35Jonathan, meanwhile, has splashed the cash, spending £147.50 on three lots -
1:01:35 > 1:01:40the owl pepperette that doesn't have any feet, the expensive doggy page turner
1:01:40 > 1:01:47and the Swiss painting with no snow. This gives him a total of £58.86 for the second day of buying.
1:01:47 > 1:01:52The sun has got its hat on. Let's join the chaps as they hunt down some bargains
1:01:52 > 1:01:55at Castle Combe car boot sale.
1:01:55 > 1:01:59The car boot sales here are some of the largest in the West Country.
1:01:59 > 1:02:04With hundreds of stalls, there should be something to take the boys' fancy.
1:02:04 > 1:02:08As usual, James is getting stuck in straight away.
1:02:08 > 1:02:14It's a little maquette. It's made of terracotta, sort of, um...sculptor's clay.
1:02:14 > 1:02:18It's a sort of preparatory thing before possibly casting it.
1:02:18 > 1:02:22Most of these things were never cast in bronze,
1:02:22 > 1:02:25but it was something they did in the studio.
1:02:25 > 1:02:28He's marked on the back. I don't know who the devil he is.
1:02:28 > 1:02:30DF, yeah, I don't know who he is.
1:02:30 > 1:02:36- Might be worth a fortune. - No, it won't be that size. It's just a maquette.- Yeah.
1:02:36 > 1:02:40- It's terracotta.- Yes.- Just a little fun. I'll give you a pound for it.
1:02:40 > 1:02:44- No, you must be joking.- Why? - I'd rather put it on the wall.
1:02:44 > 1:02:46- How much do you want?- A tenner.
1:02:49 > 1:02:53- A fiver and I'll do it. - No, make it eight.
1:02:53 > 1:02:56- No, I'll do five.- Six. - Five and it's yours.
1:02:58 > 1:03:02- Go on.- Five it is. It's all good fun, isn't it?
1:03:02 > 1:03:06- There we are.- There you go. - Thank you very much indeed.
1:03:06 > 1:03:10- And there's your five...- That's very kind. Thanks a lot.- Cheers.
1:03:10 > 1:03:14And the full packaging service - gift-wrapped by the hubby!
1:03:14 > 1:03:18I don't want to drop it, otherwise I'll lose money on it already.
1:03:18 > 1:03:21Thank you. That's very kind of you. Bye!
1:03:21 > 1:03:24Last of the big spenders there, James!
1:03:24 > 1:03:29A brisk bit of business and that's another faceless, low-cost item in the bag.
1:03:29 > 1:03:33There's a hell of a lot to see here and I don't know...
1:03:33 > 1:03:37I don't know where to start, really. I don't know where to start.
1:03:37 > 1:03:42This takes me back. I used to go round these things when I was a bit younger.
1:03:42 > 1:03:44OK, dive in, I think.
1:03:44 > 1:03:48- It looks like faience, really, isn't it?- Yes.
1:03:48 > 1:03:52Tin glaze. It's so precisely done. It's nicely, finely potted.
1:03:52 > 1:03:54The decoration is really precise.
1:03:54 > 1:03:59This little tankard was made by the Aldermaston Pottery in Berkshire.
1:03:59 > 1:04:03It was founded in 1955 by Alan Caiger-Smith and Geoffrey Eastop.
1:04:03 > 1:04:07The pottery is renowned for its tin-glazed wares.
1:04:07 > 1:04:10It's nibbled on the back, isn't it?
1:04:10 > 1:04:13Jonathan, what did I say about damaged items?
1:04:13 > 1:04:15- How much is it?- A couple of quid.
1:04:15 > 1:04:19- OK...- But I'll let you off. It's only £2 after all!
1:04:19 > 1:04:22- I'll have to find some things to go with it.- Oh, crikey!
1:04:22 > 1:04:26James has found another item to pounce on.
1:04:26 > 1:04:31When you have two handles, sometimes they call them loving cups, but it's very nicely waisted.
1:04:31 > 1:04:34It is a nice item, isn't it?
1:04:34 > 1:04:38Would you do it for a couple of pounds...? OK, I'll take it.
1:04:38 > 1:04:41- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
1:04:41 > 1:04:45Good grief! Another item at £2. What a pair of spendthrifts!
1:04:45 > 1:04:49Thanks a lot. I don't think I would have bought it if it had one handle.
1:04:49 > 1:04:53It has two handles. It's a loving cup. It has nice symmetry.
1:04:53 > 1:04:57It's got a maker's name, so somebody was pleased to manufacture it
1:04:57 > 1:05:02and it's either got a pattern number or more likely, the date, 1879.
1:05:02 > 1:05:07So it's got three nice elements that might lift it in an auction room.
1:05:07 > 1:05:12That's a pound a handle! Time to leave Castle Combe and get the wheels rolling.
1:05:12 > 1:05:15The chaps are heading to the town of Tetbury.
1:05:15 > 1:05:19- I bought two items.- I don't know how you did it. I struggled...
1:05:19 > 1:05:25I know we like to reveal it all, but in all honesty, I struggled to find even one object.
1:05:25 > 1:05:28Did you? Did money pass hands there?
1:05:28 > 1:05:30It did, but I can tell you barely!
1:05:30 > 1:05:35I could have bought a coffee for what I think I paid for it.
1:05:35 > 1:05:41Old Brackers needs to catch up on the shopping. He's on his way to meet with George, owner of Artique.
1:05:41 > 1:05:47George specialises in exotic wares from Afghanistan, India and Pakistan.
1:05:47 > 1:05:51The shop is a Mecca of unique treasures, if you know what I mean.
1:05:51 > 1:05:58My mission, George, is to try and find maybe a couple of items that I can put forward to auction.
1:05:58 > 1:06:01It's an auction in Somerset, in Frome,
1:06:01 > 1:06:06- and I want to have something that is slightly exotic.- Sure.
1:06:06 > 1:06:10I'd love it to be Indian, Pakistani, whatever, something that has a story
1:06:10 > 1:06:16- and something that will communicate to people who go to an auction as well.- Sure, sure.
1:06:16 > 1:06:21So I might try and buy a slightly more expensive one and a cheap one,
1:06:21 > 1:06:25but at the end of the day, I'm going to try and squeeze you on a price.
1:06:25 > 1:06:27Of course. What's new?
1:06:29 > 1:06:35Before James gets stuck into shopping, there's something outside that's definitely not for sale.
1:06:35 > 1:06:39That's amazing. What's this? It almost looks like a Pacific island.
1:06:39 > 1:06:42- What's this doing here? - It's an incredibly rare thing.
1:06:42 > 1:06:46This is a Kafiri house from Kafiristan.
1:06:46 > 1:06:52The Kafir tribe are tall, blue-eyed warriors hailing from Afghanistan in the south of the Hindu Kush valleys.
1:06:52 > 1:06:57Legend has it they are the lost tribe of Alexander the Great.
1:06:57 > 1:07:00We found this at the top of a mountain
1:07:00 > 1:07:04and it's the only known complete Kafiri building that has been found.
1:07:04 > 1:07:09Anthropologists have looked at this and they think it's 600 years old.
1:07:09 > 1:07:15- Yeah.- It's sort of petrified. This one was in pieces. It had been abandoned many years before.- Yeah.
1:07:15 > 1:07:19We brought it down and reassembled it. There's the window.
1:07:19 > 1:07:22And actually the front door is here.
1:07:22 > 1:07:25- Really? So just slipping in. - Slipping in, yeah.
1:07:25 > 1:07:28Samovar there, sign of hospitality.
1:07:28 > 1:07:32And these are ibex horns, a sign of family strength.
1:07:32 > 1:07:36Obviously, this was the home of a warrior. This would depict him.
1:07:36 > 1:07:40You can make out swords and things. You should get this behind glass.
1:07:40 > 1:07:43- One day, I'd like to give it to a museum.- Yeah.
1:07:43 > 1:07:47We'll have to wait and see how poor I am when I die.
1:07:47 > 1:07:49LAUGHTER
1:07:49 > 1:07:53- You'll get a little room in the British Museum, George.- Yes.
1:07:53 > 1:07:57Come on, James. Better get back inside and spend some of that cash!
1:07:57 > 1:08:00The coffee table, George? How much is that?
1:08:00 > 1:08:02£45.
1:08:04 > 1:08:06And this would be Indian as well?
1:08:06 > 1:08:10This is Indian, probably sort of more like hill station.
1:08:10 > 1:08:12Yeah.
1:08:13 > 1:08:17- Up in the cool mountains. - Up in the cool mountains, yes.
1:08:17 > 1:08:19Yes, cool.
1:08:21 > 1:08:24Interesting, but there's lots more inside.
1:08:24 > 1:08:30- How much are your kilims, George? - They vary enormously in size and age.
1:08:30 > 1:08:32And things like that?
1:08:32 > 1:08:37- Things like that would cost you... - Sort of later. - Yeah, sort of 1940.- Yeah.
1:08:37 > 1:08:41- But this is from Afghanistan. - That's from Afghanistan?
1:08:41 > 1:08:43I could show it to you if you want.
1:08:43 > 1:08:48Kilims are flat, woven carpets or rugs produced from the Balkans to Pakistan.
1:08:48 > 1:08:52The language of the kilim weaver can convey anything
1:08:52 > 1:08:57- from hopes of marriage and good fortune to tribal allegiance. - The carpet room...
1:08:59 > 1:09:03This is Baluchi, as I say, probably 1940.
1:09:04 > 1:09:07Nice, simple, nomadic, domestic kilim.
1:09:07 > 1:09:13- Yeah, it's very nice.- Suddenly, kilims are having a big revival.
1:09:13 > 1:09:17- I can see how it would really work in a contemporary home, this.- Yeah.
1:09:17 > 1:09:21- It looks modern, doesn't it? - It does look modern.
1:09:21 > 1:09:23Yes, interesting, fascinating.
1:09:23 > 1:09:28Now, George, I'm quite interested in possibly, maybe...
1:09:29 > 1:09:32- ..buying something like that.- Yes.
1:09:32 > 1:09:39And maybe the coffee table. I might just grab the coffee table and see what it looks like on it.
1:09:39 > 1:09:42No, let the younger man take it, George.
1:09:42 > 1:09:46I can manage this. It's a lovely weight, reassuring.
1:09:46 > 1:09:49- It's always good for the buyer to feel the goods.- Absolutely.
1:09:49 > 1:09:54Now let's have a look. So we've got a teak coffee table.
1:09:54 > 1:09:56And a rather nice kilim rug.
1:09:58 > 1:10:00Rooney, come on. Off the carpet, boy.
1:10:00 > 1:10:03- You love rugs.- Yeah.
1:10:03 > 1:10:07- He knows quality, this dog. - Oh, I know. Now, George,
1:10:07 > 1:10:12- what sort of special price could you do for the two?- Here he goes.
1:10:12 > 1:10:15Our warrior James is on the warpath.
1:10:16 > 1:10:20- The absolute...bottom on it... - Yeah?
1:10:20 > 1:10:23..is £120 for the kilim.
1:10:25 > 1:10:27And £45 for the table.
1:10:27 > 1:10:32- £45 for the table... - Which is incredibly cheap.- Yeah.
1:10:32 > 1:10:37Brackers is interested. Watch out. He's just about to pounce.
1:10:37 > 1:10:43Both are very usable pieces of furniture in any environment. And it's a great look at the moment.
1:10:43 > 1:10:46- Yeah, it's a good look, isn't it? - Yes.
1:10:49 > 1:10:56It's so difficult with these things. As soon as I buy these, I'm at the mercy of others.
1:10:56 > 1:11:00- 150 for the two? - No, I can't.
1:11:00 > 1:11:03- You can't?- 40...
1:11:06 > 1:11:07OK.
1:11:07 > 1:11:12- Thank you very much indeed. - That is really cheap.- Great price.
1:11:12 > 1:11:15- Thank you. - Phew! That was a bit of a struggle,
1:11:15 > 1:11:18but finally he gets his way.
1:11:18 > 1:11:22Meanwhile, Jonathan has finished shopping for the day
1:11:22 > 1:11:24and is making his way to Chavenage.
1:11:24 > 1:11:26He has an invitation
1:11:26 > 1:11:29to the 16th-century Chavenage House,
1:11:29 > 1:11:34reputed to be haunted. Let's hope Jonathan doesn't get goose pimples.
1:11:34 > 1:11:41This magnificent Cotswold manor is a family home that has remained virtually unchanged for 400 years.
1:11:41 > 1:11:45It's open for visitors from May to September.
1:11:45 > 1:11:52The Lowsley-Williams are one of only two families that have ever owned the house.
1:11:52 > 1:11:56Caroline Lowsley-Williams is the daughter of that household
1:11:56 > 1:12:00and welcomes Jonathan into a world of grandeur and discovery.
1:12:00 > 1:12:03We come into my favourite room, Oliver Cromwell's room.
1:12:05 > 1:12:10- But...- There he is.- There he is, warts and all.- Yeah, exactly.
1:12:10 > 1:12:14- That's a contemporary copy of...- Oh, is it?- ..Peter Lely's picture.- OK.
1:12:14 > 1:12:20- The original hangs in the National Portrait Gallery. - But it's here because...- Yes.
1:12:20 > 1:12:25..there's a great deal of importance with this building and Cromwell.
1:12:25 > 1:12:30- Wasn't it used as a stronghold for part of the army?- Absolutely. It was owned by Nathaniel Stevens
1:12:30 > 1:12:35and he was one of the three MPs for Gloucestershire.
1:12:35 > 1:12:39Being an MP, he sided with Cromwell rather than King Charles I.
1:12:39 > 1:12:44So he offered Chavenage as a stronghold or staging post.
1:12:44 > 1:12:48And then it was used after the end of the war
1:12:48 > 1:12:54when King Charles was imprisoned. I think then Cromwell had to decide what to do with him next.
1:12:54 > 1:13:00Cromwell came here, stayed in the house, while he tried to make sure that Stevens would vote
1:13:00 > 1:13:02for the impeachment of the King.
1:13:02 > 1:13:10That led to the legend of the house, which is that Stevens was persuaded, very much against his will,
1:13:10 > 1:13:12to vote for the King's death
1:13:12 > 1:13:18and subsequently he was cursed by his daughter and our ghost is the ghost of Charles I
1:13:18 > 1:13:20coming for the traitor's soul.
1:13:20 > 1:13:26In the early '70s, the house revealed a rather fascinating interior design discovery.
1:13:26 > 1:13:32So we come to the room which I talk about as the library. I apologise for the tiger, but he was shot
1:13:32 > 1:13:35by Great Uncle Pat.
1:13:35 > 1:13:38In those days, they didn't know tigers were rare.
1:13:38 > 1:13:44My parents inherited the house as a wedding present. They celebrated 53 years of being here
1:13:44 > 1:13:48- and gave us the rare privilege of growing up in the house.- Amazing.
1:13:48 > 1:13:53So this was our playground and now it's a place of work.
1:13:53 > 1:13:58My father tried to escape people by going to the attic to play with his trains.
1:13:58 > 1:14:04On one of the playing and expansion schemes he discovered a portfolio of drawings.
1:14:04 > 1:14:11- Didn't know what they were.- Yes. - And they were just left about until an expert from an auction house
1:14:11 > 1:14:15identified them as the designs for the redecoration of Windsor Castle.
1:14:15 > 1:14:22In it were about 120 designs. He rather lost interest when they weren't designs for this house
1:14:22 > 1:14:25once they'd been identified.
1:14:25 > 1:14:27This is one of the originals.
1:14:27 > 1:14:34So these are original drawings for the redecoration of Windsor Castle in when...?
1:14:34 > 1:14:37Well, it was for George IV. By Geoffrey Wyatt.
1:14:37 > 1:14:43We were told that they were valuable and the Queen would like them back in the Royal Collection.
1:14:43 > 1:14:46And we had a sale in 1970
1:14:46 > 1:14:52and the Keeper of the Queen's Pictures, on her behalf, bought almost the entirety
1:14:52 > 1:14:58- and the really nice part of it is that since the terrible fire, which was 1990...- Early '90s.
1:14:58 > 1:15:04..they say that it's now better than before because they went back to the original Georgian designs.
1:15:04 > 1:15:09If your father had not been up into the attic and moving his train set,
1:15:09 > 1:15:15they might not have been discovered for another 10 years and the fire would have gone by.
1:15:15 > 1:15:18- It came at...- An opportune moment.
1:15:18 > 1:15:24And the lesson here - always have a look in the attic. You never know what could be hiding.
1:15:24 > 1:15:30What I like about this is I drive up to the house and you've got this Elizabethan facade,
1:15:30 > 1:15:36yet the history goes back 500 years, at least.
1:15:36 > 1:15:40And there's something happening almost every decade ever since!
1:15:40 > 1:15:44- A lived-in house is bound to have a history.- I've had really good fun.
1:15:44 > 1:15:52- You make it very entertaining! I'll have to come with my family. - Absolutely!- Thank you very much.
1:15:53 > 1:15:56Right. Let's get this show back on the road.
1:15:56 > 1:16:00Time for the boys to find out what they've spent their pennies on.
1:16:00 > 1:16:04Where better than the lawn of Chavenage House?
1:16:04 > 1:16:08- My first object is... - That looks fun, doesn't it?
1:16:09 > 1:16:14- Late '20s, continental silver page turner.- Yeah.
1:16:14 > 1:16:20It's a Bakelite blade, silver finial, modelled as a hunting dog, a hound.
1:16:20 > 1:16:26- Yeah, yeah, Jonathan. Wait until James hears how much you paid. - How much did you pay for it?
1:16:26 > 1:16:30- Bearing in mind I started off with £206...- Come on.
1:16:30 > 1:16:34- I parted with £100 for it. - You paid £100?
1:16:34 > 1:16:40- I know. I couldn't believe it, either.- I'm starting to feel it was a bit too much for it.
1:16:40 > 1:16:47- This is my first purchase. This was bought in... I'll pass it over to you.- There we go.
1:16:47 > 1:16:51You just prised this off the front of the steering wheel!
1:16:51 > 1:16:56The jury's slightly out. We don't know if it's a spare tyre dress cap
1:16:56 > 1:17:02- or we think it might be the centre of the steering wheel. - It's an ashtray.- No, it isn't!
1:17:02 > 1:17:06And you paid? £10. Fair enough. You'll get rid of it OK. £10.
1:17:06 > 1:17:10- Let's see if we can improve on that. Oh, that's nice.- A pepper pot.
1:17:10 > 1:17:17- It's lead. His feet have been cut off, sadly.- Yeah. - I bought it as a novelty object.
1:17:17 > 1:17:22- I didn't pay a lot for it. I did try to push him down to less.- Yeah.
1:17:22 > 1:17:29- I think I paid £17.50.- Two words, Jonathan - damaged and footless.
1:17:29 > 1:17:32- OK, old boy. Yours.- And I'm off.
1:17:32 > 1:17:38- I bought this little fellow. Maquette.- That's rather sweet.
1:17:38 > 1:17:42- It's almost like a Pan or something, isn't it?- Yeah.
1:17:42 > 1:17:46What I like about this is you can see it's hand-modelled.
1:17:46 > 1:17:51It's all very, very... It's very tactile, isn't it?
1:17:51 > 1:17:57And you paid...? The thing is with this, everything was either under a tenner
1:17:57 > 1:18:01- or over, like, 60. I think you probably paid- £10. 5.
1:18:01 > 1:18:03- Very good, OK.- Fire away.
1:18:03 > 1:18:07- I bought three objects yesterday. - Oh, right.- This was from Top Banana.
1:18:07 > 1:18:15My fascination with winter sports... It doesn't have winter sports in, but I just liked it.
1:18:15 > 1:18:21- Oh, that's fun, isn't it? - Probably painted around the first quarter of the 20th century.
1:18:21 > 1:18:25They could clean this up themselves, using turpentine or whatever.
1:18:25 > 1:18:31They could gently bring it back and hang it on the wall without paying a fortune.
1:18:31 > 1:18:34- And how much did you pay?- £30.
1:18:34 > 1:18:38- I think that's a good buy. - Thank you.- The best buy today.
1:18:38 > 1:18:41My next item...what is it? My third item...
1:18:42 > 1:18:48- Isn't that smart?- A loving cup. - Isn't that smart?- There we are.
1:18:48 > 1:18:54This conjures up the Arts and Crafts of the late-19th century England. That's what you would hope.
1:18:54 > 1:18:59You'd want to see on the bottom "Tudric" or something like that from from Liberty,
1:18:59 > 1:19:02- which it doesn't have. - Funnily enough, no.
1:19:02 > 1:19:09- Nicely waisted body. Good handles on it.- Are you talking about the cup or your taste in women, James?
1:19:09 > 1:19:16- Knowing your tactic so far, you paid a fiver for it.- I didn't. I paid- £2. You little so-and-so. OK.
1:19:16 > 1:19:18Well, there's a £3 profit for you.
1:19:20 > 1:19:25- Royal Berkshire Hospital. A nice bit of pottery. - It's Aldermaston Pottery.
1:19:25 > 1:19:33- Oh, right.- It's for the Royal Berkshire Hospital. The quality of the finishing is brilliant.
1:19:33 > 1:19:38Nicely, finely potted. And then this little certificate saying it's 342 of 500 tankards, or something.
1:19:38 > 1:19:45But there is a downside and the downside is that somebody took a nibble out of the back.
1:19:45 > 1:19:48That was a real disappointment. It only cost £2.
1:19:48 > 1:19:51Perfect. I think it's a nice item.
1:19:51 > 1:19:54Smacks of quality. A real craft item.
1:19:54 > 1:19:56So that's me done. I'm finito.
1:19:56 > 1:20:01I won't even try to gloat about how much money I've got left over.
1:20:01 > 1:20:07- Next one was quite a serious purchase for me. - Oh, I like the sound of this!
1:20:07 > 1:20:11In a North African stylee, I'm just going to throw it open.
1:20:13 > 1:20:21- So it's a flat-weave carpet. It's a Baluchi.- Or was. - Afghanistan. Tribal people.
1:20:21 > 1:20:24And it's got a rather contemporary design to it.
1:20:24 > 1:20:29Oh! I didn't know you were an interior designer, James!
1:20:29 > 1:20:34- How much did you pay for it, James? - Quite a lot. £110.- Very bold move.
1:20:34 > 1:20:39- The boldest move you've ever made. - I'm testing the water.
1:20:39 > 1:20:43You're testing the water with your money!
1:20:43 > 1:20:46- I'll see whether people buy it or not.- Good.- I'll set it off
1:20:46 > 1:20:49- by putting my fifth purchase on it.- Go on then.
1:20:49 > 1:20:52Bought from the same shop, Tetbury again, it's this fella.
1:20:52 > 1:20:55I remember you talking to me
1:20:55 > 1:20:58- about coffee tables.- Yes!
1:20:58 > 1:21:03- And you said... - We were driving along and I said,
1:21:03 > 1:21:09- "In general sales, I seem to be selling quite a lot of coffee tables."- Were you misleading me?- No!
1:21:09 > 1:21:12Jonathan? Misleading? Never!
1:21:12 > 1:21:18What I thought I might do is I might form a little tableau within the auction room.
1:21:18 > 1:21:20Carry on.
1:21:20 > 1:21:23Here we are.
1:21:23 > 1:21:29- You're sitting on your sofa and there's your coffee table. On your wooden floors.- OK.
1:21:29 > 1:21:33- I'm going for a contemporary look. - I'm going to ask you a question.
1:21:33 > 1:21:38- I want an honest answer. How much did you pay for it?- £40.- OK.
1:21:38 > 1:21:45That's sort of in the middle there. If you'd paid any more, I would have gone skipping back to the car.
1:21:45 > 1:21:50- Would you?- Yeah. OK, great. I think I've enjoyed this one.- Good luck!
1:21:50 > 1:21:56Having seen each other's purchases, what do our chaps really think?
1:21:56 > 1:22:00When I saw that carpet, I was very, very pleased. £110 is a lot.
1:22:00 > 1:22:06It's never going to make that. It's the wrong type of carpet - it's not old, not antique.
1:22:06 > 1:22:10The only thing threatening me is that picture.
1:22:10 > 1:22:13It's a very nice picture, but...
1:22:14 > 1:22:17Don't mention that paper knife.
1:22:18 > 1:22:23Ha ha! It's been a tough third leg with the boys battling it out
1:22:23 > 1:22:27from Stratford upon Avon via Castle Combe, Tetbury
1:22:27 > 1:22:28and finally
1:22:28 > 1:22:29to the town of Frome.
1:22:29 > 1:22:33Frome in northeast Somerset sits on the Mendip Hills.
1:22:33 > 1:22:39Let's hope our boys unearth some big-value profit at auction. Dore and Rees' auction house
1:22:39 > 1:22:41is located in a converted chapel
1:22:41 > 1:22:44and has been in the town since 1868.
1:22:44 > 1:22:51Auctioneer Guy Taylor has a few thoughts to share about our chaps' offerings.
1:22:51 > 1:22:55Personally, the little owl pepperette is a very sweet little thing.
1:22:55 > 1:23:01The sort of thing you could see in a shop window and have a lot of people going for it.
1:23:01 > 1:23:04That and the MG steering boss.
1:23:04 > 1:23:09Jonathan Pratt started today with £206.36
1:23:09 > 1:23:13and spent £149.50 on four auction lots,
1:23:13 > 1:23:15leaving him with £56.86.
1:23:17 > 1:23:21James Braxton began with £318.46
1:23:21 > 1:23:25and has spent £167 on five lots,
1:23:25 > 1:23:29leaving him with £151.46 in his pocket.
1:23:29 > 1:23:33Remember, he also has the coral necklace from yesterday's auction.
1:23:33 > 1:23:35Let the auction commence!
1:23:35 > 1:23:38First up, Jonathan's trying to turn his luck
1:23:38 > 1:23:39with an Aldermaston Pottery mug -
1:23:39 > 1:23:42the one that's chipped.
1:23:42 > 1:23:46We come to the limited edition Aldermaston Pottery tankard.
1:23:46 > 1:23:50Associated with the Royal Berkshire Hospital. 10 I am bid.
1:23:50 > 1:23:5212 I have. 14.
1:23:52 > 1:23:5516. 18.
1:23:55 > 1:23:5820, fresh place. 22 now? 22.
1:23:58 > 1:24:0024 now?
1:24:00 > 1:24:0524 now if you want it. The bid's at 22. Selling at £22.
1:24:06 > 1:24:08- Well done.- Get in there!
1:24:08 > 1:24:12Crikey! Jonathan with a profit.
1:24:12 > 1:24:14Next up, it's James's Indian table.
1:24:14 > 1:24:18Here's hoping the bidders of Frome like a taste of the exotic.
1:24:18 > 1:24:22We come to the teak hardwood Indian coffee table.
1:24:22 > 1:24:25Got the nice distressed look to it.
1:24:25 > 1:24:2710 I'm bid. 12 if you want it.
1:24:27 > 1:24:3112 I have on the desk. 14 now. 14.
1:24:31 > 1:24:3316. 18. 20.
1:24:33 > 1:24:37- 22. 24. 26 now?- Stop.- Go on!
1:24:37 > 1:24:41- No, that's enough. - Going to be sold at £24.
1:24:41 > 1:24:44All done at £24?
1:24:44 > 1:24:47- Oh, dear.- Never mind.- Never mind.
1:24:47 > 1:24:50Apparently not.
1:24:50 > 1:24:53It's the footless owl pepperette.
1:24:53 > 1:24:57The cast metal pepperette. Modelled in the form of an owl.
1:24:57 > 1:25:00Say for that one £10?
1:25:00 > 1:25:045 I'm bid here. 8 if you want it. 8 I have. 10 now?
1:25:04 > 1:25:0710 I have. 12. 14.
1:25:07 > 1:25:1016. 18. 20.
1:25:10 > 1:25:13- Well done.- 22. 24.
1:25:13 > 1:25:1526.
1:25:15 > 1:25:17- Luck of the devil.- 28. 30.
1:25:17 > 1:25:1932 now?
1:25:19 > 1:25:22All done at 30? All done.
1:25:22 > 1:25:26- Phew!- Well done.- Thank you.
1:25:26 > 1:25:30Could this be the tide turning for Jonathan?
1:25:30 > 1:25:33It's James's kilim carpet next.
1:25:33 > 1:25:35Will it fare better than the coffee table?
1:25:35 > 1:25:37The striped patterned kilim carpet.
1:25:37 > 1:25:41That's the one displayed over the rail there.
1:25:41 > 1:25:45Nice pattern to that one as well. £30?
1:25:45 > 1:25:50- 30 I'm bid. 35 now if you want it.- Come on.
1:25:50 > 1:25:53It's going to be sold on its maiden bid at £30. 35?
1:25:53 > 1:25:57- Come on.- Sell it! - 35 I have on the desk.

1:26:02 > 1:26:0555 now? Across the room at £50.
1:26:06 > 1:26:09You were lucky there!
1:26:10 > 1:26:12Lucky? Losing 60 quid?!
1:26:13 > 1:26:17Ouch! That's just nasty. Let's move on quickly.
1:26:17 > 1:26:23Paintings have been good choices for the boys. Will Jonathan's luck hold?
1:26:23 > 1:26:26The alpine scene oil painting on board.
1:26:26 > 1:26:29That's by the Austrian artist Peter Haller.
1:26:29 > 1:26:32Say for that one, put me in, £50?
1:26:34 > 1:26:38- 50 I'm bid.- Well done. - 55 I have on the desk. 60 I have.
1:26:38 > 1:26:42- 65 now?- (Come on, come on.)
1:26:42 > 1:26:45It's going to be sold at £60 to my right. 65 if you're interested.
1:26:45 > 1:26:48- Come on.- All done at £60? All done?
1:26:49 > 1:26:53Doubled your money. That's all right. Well done.
1:26:53 > 1:26:57Not bad. £30 profit.
1:26:57 > 1:27:00Back to James with the £2 pewter mug.
1:27:00 > 1:27:03It's got the Hampden stamp.
1:27:03 > 1:27:065 I'm bid. 8 now if you want it. 8 I have.
1:27:06 > 1:27:0910. 12.
1:27:09 > 1:27:13- 14 now? 14 now if you want it. - Go on!
1:27:13 > 1:27:1514. She's back again. 16 now?
1:27:16 > 1:27:21It's going to be sold at £14. Fierce competition. All done at 14?
1:27:21 > 1:27:28- Very good. Well done. Well done, Frome.- That's good.- Happy with that.
1:27:28 > 1:27:32Let's drink to that. Finally, a small profit.
1:27:32 > 1:27:37Help! It's the pricey page turner. I don't know if I can look.
1:27:37 > 1:27:41Continental silver, a nice little bloodhound decoration.
1:27:41 > 1:27:44- All right, all right.- £20?
1:27:44 > 1:27:4920 I'm bid. 22 now if you want it. 22 I have on the desk.
1:27:49 > 1:27:5224. 26. 28.
1:27:52 > 1:27:5430. 32.
1:27:54 > 1:27:5934. 36. 38 now?
1:27:59 > 1:28:01- Selling at £36.- No...
1:28:02 > 1:28:05- Done.- How much did you pay for it?
1:28:08 > 1:28:13- 100.- 100. Well, at least you didn't pay 110.
1:28:13 > 1:28:18Disaster with a capital D. Let's move on swiftly.
1:28:18 > 1:28:23Next up, it's the terracotta maquette. Bought for a snip.
1:28:23 > 1:28:26We come to the studio terracotta maquette.
1:28:26 > 1:28:28The wall mask of the boy's head.
1:28:28 > 1:28:33Got the initials DF to that one. Nice little decorative piece there.
1:28:33 > 1:28:39Say for that one, start me at £10? For the terracotta maquette there.
1:28:39 > 1:28:43Start me away, £5 then? 5 I'm bid.
1:28:43 > 1:28:4610 now if you want it. 10. 12.
1:28:46 > 1:28:48- Go on.- 14. 16.
1:28:48 > 1:28:52- Go on.- 18 now? It's going to be sold at 16.
1:28:52 > 1:28:55All done at £16?
1:28:55 > 1:28:59I thought that was worth more. £30, £40, at least.
1:28:59 > 1:29:03- There you go.- There we are. - Moving in the right direction.
1:29:03 > 1:29:06A small profit. Hey ho, better than nothing.
1:29:06 > 1:29:12The MG steering wheel boss is next. Yet another bargain basement buy.
1:29:12 > 1:29:16We've come to the MG... The MG steering wheel boss.
1:29:16 > 1:29:1920 I'm bid. 22 now if you want it.
1:29:19 > 1:29:23Turn your old car into a sports car.
1:29:23 > 1:29:28It's going to be sold at £20 on its maiden bid. All done?
1:29:28 > 1:29:30- You paid how much? A tenner? - A tenner.
1:29:32 > 1:29:34Another small profit.
1:29:34 > 1:29:38But finally it's the turn of the unsold coral necklace.
1:29:38 > 1:29:42£10? For the red coral necklace?
1:29:42 > 1:29:46- Hello...- Start me? 10 I'm bid.
1:29:46 > 1:29:5012 now if you want it. Selling for £10?
1:29:50 > 1:29:5312 if you want it. 12 I have.
1:29:53 > 1:29:5514 now? 14.
1:29:55 > 1:29:5816 nearest me? 16 I have.
1:29:58 > 1:30:0018. 20.
1:30:00 > 1:30:0222 now?
1:30:02 > 1:30:07Bring the lady a glass of water. Have you got some? Keep going.
1:30:07 > 1:30:11With the gentleman here at £20. Are we all done at £20?
1:30:13 > 1:30:17- It could have been a lot worse. - That's good.
1:30:17 > 1:30:21It's a break even, which in fact means a loss.
1:30:21 > 1:30:24The auction house take commission.
1:30:24 > 1:30:28Again a poor show from the boys, with both making losses.
1:30:28 > 1:30:32Pictures are the way forward. I haven't exposed myself to silver.
1:30:32 > 1:30:37I'm going to buy silver on the next one. Silver, pictures, jewellery.
1:30:37 > 1:30:43I've got to do small gains for another auction and see if I can get over 200.
1:30:43 > 1:30:46And that's it. I'll have him.
1:30:46 > 1:30:50Jonathan started today's show with £206.36.
1:30:50 > 1:30:54And after paying auction costs, he made a loss of £28.14.
1:30:54 > 1:30:57Jonathan is on a shaky peg here
1:30:57 > 1:31:03with just £178.22 to carry forward to the next round.
1:31:05 > 1:31:08James, meanwhile, started with £318.46
1:31:08 > 1:31:13and although he made a greater loss, of £48.92,
1:31:13 > 1:31:19James has a princely sum of £269.54 to take forward.
1:31:19 > 1:31:21Hit the road!
1:31:21 > 1:31:24Wales, here we come.
1:31:26 > 1:31:29Next time on the Antiques Road Trip:
1:31:29 > 1:31:34James and Jonathan head for Crewkerne. James is still cheeky.
1:31:34 > 1:31:39- Could that be very cheap, then? - I'm afraid not!
1:31:39 > 1:31:43And Jonathan dresses up. Ah, so.
