0:47:50 > 0:47:57.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each
0:48:04 > 0:48:06and one big challenge!
0:48:06 > 0:48:07I'm declaring war.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Why?
0:48:09 > 0:48:13Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?
0:48:13 > 0:48:16The aim is to trade up
0:48:16 > 0:48:18and hope each antique turns a profit.
0:48:19 > 0:48:24But it's not as easy as you might think, and things don't always go to plan.
0:48:24 > 0:48:28Will they race off with a huge profit or come to a grinding halt?
0:48:28 > 0:48:29Think I believe that?
0:48:29 > 0:48:31This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:48:35 > 0:48:39Today we're in Wales with, appropriately, the two Davids!
0:48:39 > 0:48:46David Barby and David Harper. Although neither, of course, is a saint.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48I think I'm lost.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51- I'm lost without my sat nav. - What do you call her?- Harriet.
0:48:51 > 0:48:56David Harper is a dealer with a taste for the finer things in life.
0:48:56 > 0:49:00These can make thousands, can't they? I'll give you 200 quid for it.
0:49:00 > 0:49:04While co-driver David Barby does the shopping and is an auctioneer.
0:49:04 > 0:49:07There's nothing he likes more than to go for a song!
0:49:07 > 0:49:13- #- I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone.- #
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Ooh, flat!
0:49:16 > 0:49:20David B has led all week, but David H is catching up fast!
0:49:20 > 0:49:23So how are you feeling, Mr Barby, still in the lead?
0:49:23 > 0:49:26I feel very relaxed about it.
0:49:26 > 0:49:30Well, don't feel too relaxed because somebody's nipping at your heels!
0:49:30 > 0:49:33- Yapping, I would say!- Yapping! - Ruf! Ruf!
0:49:33 > 0:49:36Hmm. They began with £200 each
0:49:36 > 0:49:43and David Barby goes into today with a very respectable £726.05 to spend.
0:49:43 > 0:49:48While the other David has almost as much with £674.98.
0:49:52 > 0:49:57This week, we're travelling from Northern Ireland, heading south towards the county of Meath
0:49:57 > 0:49:59then across to the north coast of Wales
0:49:59 > 0:50:04and once again heading south, ending our trip in Llanelli.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06Today's show starts out in Aberystwyth
0:50:06 > 0:50:09and heads for an auction in Shrewsbury.
0:50:11 > 0:50:15In the mid-19th century a fine pier and a railway were built
0:50:15 > 0:50:20making Aberystwyth a Victorian tourist boom town.
0:50:20 > 0:50:24Back in the Middle Ages, though, when the English were much less popular,
0:50:24 > 0:50:30Aberystwyth Castle was once the stronghold of the Welsh freedom fighter, Owain Glyn Dwr.
0:50:30 > 0:50:33We have to try and mix and blend with the natives.
0:50:33 > 0:50:37- You're ingratiating yourself?- Yes, just like you do rather nicely.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40So I have a Welsh phrase book.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43I've written down one of your favourite phrases.
0:50:43 > 0:50:47Please, just... Just for me cos I'd love to hear you say it.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49In English, how do you do it?
0:50:49 > 0:50:51"Is that your very, very best?"
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Wonderful. Now, in Welsh,
0:50:53 > 0:50:58you say, "Hoffet ti dawnsio?" Say that.
0:50:58 > 0:51:00Hoffet ti dawnsio?
0:51:00 > 0:51:03Not in a Chinese accent, a Welsh one. Try again.
0:51:03 > 0:51:04Hoffet ti dawnsio?
0:51:04 > 0:51:06- Dawnsio.- Dancho.
0:51:06 > 0:51:07Hoffet ti dawnsio.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09- Hoffet ti dawnsio.- Exactly.
0:51:09 > 0:51:15I want you to look into the vendor's eyes and stare at them with that twinkle that only you have,
0:51:15 > 0:51:18- and say...- Hoffet ti dawnsio?
0:51:18 > 0:51:19You naughty boy!
0:51:19 > 0:51:24- Music to my ears.- Knowing you, it's probably a swear word.
0:51:25 > 0:51:29David Barby starts his shopping a few hundred yards from the sea front.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32- This looks interesting! Hello. David Barby.- Hello.
0:51:32 > 0:51:39On a mission to find something unusual, idiosyncratic or even downright odd!
0:51:39 > 0:51:41Let's see the quirky things.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44Yes, quirky. That's what he's after.
0:51:44 > 0:51:48How about some Japanese jade snuff trays, suggests dealer David.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51Or maybe a huge gramophone horn.
0:51:51 > 0:51:52Mmm. Nice.
0:51:52 > 0:51:55- How much is that?- About 400.
0:51:55 > 0:51:58- I haven't got that sort of money! - Expensive and quirky.
0:51:58 > 0:52:00- Keep your hat on! - That really has got some style.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04So has this, and quite a price, too,
0:52:04 > 0:52:06at £125 a fork!
0:52:06 > 0:52:09I love the social history behind it.
0:52:09 > 0:52:14You'd pass your bread roll on the end of this, rather than taint it with your fingers.
0:52:14 > 0:52:19- That's rather nice. What's the very best you can do on that?- I can do a lot on that. 85.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21Ooh! Too much.
0:52:23 > 0:52:2575, then.
0:52:25 > 0:52:28Is that the very best you can do?
0:52:31 > 0:52:32Go on. 25 quid.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34- 25.- Yeah.
0:52:35 > 0:52:39£100 off, a slap round the chops, and then...
0:52:39 > 0:52:43- I think it's got a little fracture down the side.- Really?- Yeah.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45It's a gaping hole!
0:52:45 > 0:52:47Ah, here we go!
0:52:47 > 0:52:50I've been told if I use a certain expression like...
0:52:50 > 0:52:53Hoffet ti dawnsio? Um...
0:52:54 > 0:52:57I don't think you'd get very far!
0:53:00 > 0:53:02In other words, is that the very best price?
0:53:02 > 0:53:06- Yes, I think 25 is... - Even with that damage?
0:53:06 > 0:53:11- You quoted that before the damage was noticed.- Go on. 20 quid, then. - 20 quid.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15- OK, it's a deal. Thank you very much indeed.- Pleasure.- Thank you.
0:53:15 > 0:53:21And after finally forking out (ha!) David spies something that might go with his first buy.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24That was from my attic, so that could be any price.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29This would have been in a picnic hamper
0:53:29 > 0:53:32and you might have taken this out with your Bentley.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34In there, you would have a burner.
0:53:34 > 0:53:40And then this little kettle would stand on that.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42So that's ten pounds.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45I'm really not sure where David got that from.
0:53:45 > 0:53:49But it seems to have been OK'd, and now he's had another idea.
0:53:49 > 0:53:53I like this, David, because it's the same period as the kettle.
0:53:53 > 0:54:00I'd like to think that Mum and Dad had unpacked the picnic
0:54:00 > 0:54:02and brought the baby's dish along.
0:54:02 > 0:54:07- So they could make his rusks. - Rusks, yes!- Or porridge.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09And feed him whilst on the picnic.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12We have the alphabet round the edge which is rather nice.
0:54:12 > 0:54:17And then this delightful golfing scene here.
0:54:17 > 0:54:19Hmm. The Golly image,
0:54:19 > 0:54:22which used to feature on a well-known brand of jam,
0:54:22 > 0:54:27and in books by Enid Blyton, is now regarded as an offensive caricature.
0:54:27 > 0:54:29But such items do have a value
0:54:29 > 0:54:31as pieces of social history.
0:54:31 > 0:54:36- I'd like to buy the two to go together.- Right. OK.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39- I think they should go together. - I think it would be fun, yes.
0:54:39 > 0:54:43- It would be fun.- We paid 20 for that one.- 20?!
0:54:43 > 0:54:46- It's been here ages! - It hasn't been here ages.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48I came on holiday when I was 12 and saw that!
0:54:48 > 0:54:51And wanted it ever since!
0:54:51 > 0:54:54We could do a deal perhaps with the kettle. How about that?
0:54:54 > 0:54:56And the...
0:54:56 > 0:54:59Hmm. How about 30 quid for the kettle?
0:54:59 > 0:55:02Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
0:55:02 > 0:55:06- You mentioned ten on it originally. - 20 quid with the kettle.
0:55:06 > 0:55:0715.
0:55:07 > 0:55:0915 with the kettle.
0:55:10 > 0:55:14- Yeah, go on, then. 15.- £15.- You waited all those years to buy it!
0:55:15 > 0:55:19And while David Barby is busy buying...
0:55:19 > 0:55:22- How's my Welsh?- I think... Keep at it. Keep at it!
0:55:22 > 0:55:24Thank you very much!
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Iechyd da!
0:55:26 > 0:55:30..David Harper's meanwhile taken the Triumph north around Cardigan Bay,
0:55:30 > 0:55:35driving from Aberystwyth to the seaside resort of Borth.
0:55:35 > 0:55:39Very rarely is a business described as antique shop and pub,
0:55:39 > 0:55:41but that's what they have here.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43Hello!
0:55:43 > 0:55:46- Hello.- Hello, there. I'm David. - How do you do?
0:55:46 > 0:55:49Very nicely, thank you! The shop and the inn below
0:55:49 > 0:55:52have been in Sarah Pugh's family for generations. And it shows.
0:55:52 > 0:55:57A delightful clutter that requires a fine toothcomb to find a bargain.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59Or unearth a pocket general.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02That's a typical model of Napoleon.
0:56:02 > 0:56:06Don't you think it's strange that we made models of him
0:56:06 > 0:56:08in celebration of his greatness.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11It's quite a rarity. How many enemies of a nation
0:56:11 > 0:56:17can you think of that the victors for many years after he's been vanquished,
0:56:17 > 0:56:21actually make models of him and sell them as mementos.
0:56:21 > 0:56:25Yes, but how would he fare in a "general" sale(!)
0:56:26 > 0:56:30A bargain hunter doesn't need to conquer a continent, though, just move a moggy!
0:56:30 > 0:56:34OK. Anything else. Excuse me, is this your sales assistant here?
0:56:34 > 0:56:38- She doesn't like people buying jewellery!- Oh. What's she called?
0:56:38 > 0:56:42- Merle.- Merle, what's your very best price?
0:56:42 > 0:56:43Miaow!
0:56:43 > 0:56:48Unable to view the cabinet, David studies the place where his cash would have gone.
0:56:50 > 0:56:52Wow, isn't that beautiful?
0:56:52 > 0:56:55- Is that for sale?- No!- Really?- No!
0:56:55 > 0:56:58- Sure?- Absolutely. It's been in the family. The pub.
0:56:58 > 0:57:02- I'd definitely buy that.- I know! - Those can make thousands.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05I'd give you 200 quid for that. No questions asked.
0:57:05 > 0:57:08What do you think of the show so far?
0:57:08 > 0:57:10"Rubbish!"
0:57:12 > 0:57:16After failing to buy the till, or anything else for that matter,
0:57:16 > 0:57:21David Harper is now heading inland through the spectacular scenery
0:57:21 > 0:57:25of the Ystwyth Valley, where they used to mine lead, zinc and silver,
0:57:25 > 0:57:28travelling from Borth to Rhayader.
0:57:32 > 0:57:37The oldest town in mid-Wales dates back to the fifth century
0:57:37 > 0:57:41but the place really got on the map when, in 1843,
0:57:41 > 0:57:44the locals rioted over road tolls.
0:57:44 > 0:57:49Many were dressed up in drag and became known as Rebeccaites.
0:57:49 > 0:57:53Anxious to finally start spending after drawing a blank in Borth,
0:57:53 > 0:57:56David is determined to shop here.
0:57:56 > 0:58:00- So what's this building? - This is the old courthouse.
0:58:00 > 0:58:03- The magistrates' bench used to be there.- Magistrate, eh?
0:58:03 > 0:58:07- Through where the books are there's two holding cells.- No.
0:58:07 > 0:58:09Is that where you put customers that don't pay?
0:58:09 > 0:58:11I do!
0:58:11 > 0:58:14The courthouse holds many of the usual suspects,
0:58:14 > 0:58:19and for the right price, any of these items can get an early release. But which ones?
0:58:19 > 0:58:22So, what have you got?
0:58:22 > 0:58:25Gin, Bourbon, sherry, scotch, brandy and vodka.
0:58:25 > 0:58:27- Are they all the same?- They are.
0:58:27 > 0:58:31So probably 1960s, but you've got that Victorian shape.
0:58:31 > 0:58:35It's very 1880s in its shape, a classical thing.
0:58:35 > 0:58:40I can tell you, if they were in silver, they would be hundreds of pounds.
0:58:40 > 0:58:43But they're in pewter.
0:58:43 > 0:58:47But the thing is, on six liquor bottles, they'd look the biz.
0:58:47 > 0:58:49- Yeah.- What kind of money are they?
0:58:49 > 0:58:53Lots of money. £20 for the six.
0:58:53 > 0:58:54Ooh, Robin.
0:58:54 > 0:58:57Robin, honestly.
0:58:57 > 0:58:59It's a bargain, isn't it?
0:58:59 > 0:59:01- 20 quid.- It can be more.
0:59:02 > 0:59:05I don't know I if I dare ask if they can be less?
0:59:05 > 0:59:08- No, they couldn't be less. - I'll have to have them.- I think so.
0:59:08 > 0:59:10Good man. Thank you. I'll have those.
0:59:10 > 0:59:14Six labels later and Harper is in the hunt.
0:59:14 > 0:59:16That's a cracking thing, Robin.
0:59:16 > 0:59:19I think that's 1835, 1840, with a later top.
0:59:19 > 0:59:22- Can I take the glasses off? - Certainly can.
0:59:22 > 0:59:25This symbol was first used in 3000 BC
0:59:25 > 0:59:29and has been associated with everything from religion and magic to politics.
0:59:29 > 0:59:32What kind of money is it?
0:59:32 > 0:59:35To you, about £80.
0:59:35 > 0:59:3880 quid.
0:59:38 > 0:59:41- That couldn't be 50, could it?- No, it couldn't be 50.- It couldn't?
0:59:41 > 0:59:45- It couldn't. - Under any circumstances? - Under any circumstances.
0:59:47 > 0:59:51All right. What could it be under any circumstances?
0:59:52 > 0:59:5370.
0:59:54 > 0:59:57It's a good thing. 60?
0:59:58 > 1:00:01No. It's pushing it at 60.
1:00:01 > 1:00:04- I couldn't replace it for that.- 65?
1:00:04 > 1:00:0765 is there.
1:00:07 > 1:00:12- Yeah, OK.- Shall we do a deal at 65? - It's a deal at 65.- Thank goodness. I love spending money here.
1:00:12 > 1:00:16Not content with table and labels,
1:00:16 > 1:00:18David goes looking for more.
1:00:18 > 1:00:21Look at that!
1:00:22 > 1:00:25That is a Japanese Satsuma ware.
1:00:25 > 1:00:29What a grand, impressive thing!
1:00:29 > 1:00:31Robin, what money is the Satsuma?
1:00:31 > 1:00:34- It's got some damage on it, unfortunately.- Has it?
1:00:34 > 1:00:37Yeah, on the lions. This one here.
1:00:37 > 1:00:40Oh, yeah, missing its tail. Yeah.
1:00:40 > 1:00:45There you go. There's the male version. That's the Dog of Fo, or Shishi dog.
1:00:45 > 1:00:48The Dogs of Fo are there to protect the owner.
1:00:48 > 1:00:50- Yeah.- You own it and they're scaring me away!
1:00:50 > 1:00:52What would it cost for me to own it?
1:00:52 > 1:00:55- £40. There you are.- 40 quid.- Yes.
1:00:55 > 1:00:57Blimey, that is a gift.
1:00:57 > 1:01:01Tell you what, if you dress that up, put it in someone's living room
1:01:01 > 1:01:07or dining room or hallway, and it would look £4,000-worth.
1:01:07 > 1:01:09- It can be!- Really, Robin? Can it?
1:01:09 > 1:01:11Do you mind? I do want to spend big(!)
1:01:11 > 1:01:15- Take 30 quid for it.- No, come on!
1:01:15 > 1:01:18- I'll spin you a coin, 30 or 40. - Go on, then.- Good man.
1:01:18 > 1:01:19I love spinning coins. You call.
1:01:19 > 1:01:22Heads.
1:01:22 > 1:01:24Yes!
1:01:24 > 1:01:26- Marvellous!- It's not a fix?
1:01:28 > 1:01:32So, £30 to David Harper. Meanwhile, back in Aberystwyth,
1:01:32 > 1:01:36there's a museum dedicated to the history of Ceredigion,
1:01:36 > 1:01:38or Cardiganshire.
1:01:38 > 1:01:44David Barby has come to the beautiful old Coliseum theatre to take a look.
1:01:44 > 1:01:49- Hello, David, welcome to Ceredigion Museum. I'm Michael, the curator. - Pleased to meet you.
1:01:49 > 1:01:53The theatre was built for Variety in 1905
1:01:53 > 1:01:55and later converted to a cinema.
1:01:55 > 1:01:58It became a museum in 1984.
1:01:58 > 1:02:03- That's the piano that was used during silent films. - My mother, in Rugby,
1:02:03 > 1:02:08played the piano at the cinema where they showed silent movies.
1:02:08 > 1:02:12But to keep us quiet at home, she would play Hearts and Flowers,
1:02:12 > 1:02:19which was often the one she'd employ during love scenes or melodramatic scenes when looking at the screen.
1:02:19 > 1:02:23Upstairs, they still have the mighty projector that last fired up
1:02:23 > 1:02:26for The Lady and the Tramp in 1977.
1:02:26 > 1:02:32Although most of the exhibits are much older and focus on the domestic lives of local people.
1:02:32 > 1:02:34Michael, what do we have here?
1:02:34 > 1:02:39- A very fine collection of indigenous Welsh chairs. - Those are Windsor chairs!
1:02:39 > 1:02:43We now think that these actually pre-date the English examples.
1:02:43 > 1:02:46- Really? - They look very uncomfortable
1:02:46 > 1:02:51but they are made out of local materials by the people who sat on them.
1:02:51 > 1:02:54Something that's undoubtedly made in Wales
1:02:54 > 1:02:56is the proper Welsh stove-pipe hat.
1:02:56 > 1:03:00Although you may think it's as old as the Druids,
1:03:00 > 1:03:03it was only invented around 1830 as an early form of branding.
1:03:03 > 1:03:07This is something that the better-off women wore.
1:03:07 > 1:03:13If you went to market and you wanted to buy good quality food from a Welsh-speaking person,
1:03:13 > 1:03:16the chances are they'd be wearing a Welsh hat.
1:03:17 > 1:03:21The festivals of music and literature known as Eisteddfod
1:03:21 > 1:03:23first took place in the 12th century
1:03:23 > 1:03:29and their revival in the 19th coincided with the rise in Welsh nationalism.
1:03:29 > 1:03:32- What does Eisteddfod mean? - It's a meeting place, really.
1:03:32 > 1:03:38- It's where everybody meets to share their skills and enthusiasm... - It's a gathering.- Yes.
1:03:38 > 1:03:40That's a lovely concept.
1:03:40 > 1:03:46All that talk of music and the old theatre seems to have had quite an effect on David Barby,
1:03:46 > 1:03:49someone never likely to suffer from stage fright.
1:03:49 > 1:03:54- #- Keep the home fires burning
1:03:54 > 1:03:58- #- Though your hearts are yearning
1:03:58 > 1:04:02- #- Though your lads are far away
1:04:02 > 1:04:05- #- They dream of home...- #
1:04:05 > 1:04:09I do believe he's had a glass of sherry!
1:04:09 > 1:04:13- #- ..through the clouds are shining
1:04:13 > 1:04:17- #- Till the dark clouds inside out
1:04:17 > 1:04:21- #- Till the boys come home!- #
1:04:21 > 1:04:23Hmm. And on that bum note...
1:04:23 > 1:04:26Day Two of our trip in a Triumph.
1:04:26 > 1:04:28From the coast of Wales to the English border.
1:04:28 > 1:04:31Is it "Shrows-bury" or "Shrewsbury"?
1:04:31 > 1:04:37- Depends where you come from. I'd say "Shrows-bury".- You say "Shrows-bury" and I'll say "Shrewsbury".
1:04:37 > 1:04:41Yesterday, David and David both bought three things.
1:04:41 > 1:04:47David Barby spent £35 on a mix of quirky dining-related items.
1:04:48 > 1:04:53While David H weighed in with £115
1:04:53 > 1:04:57on some labels, a table and a giant Japanese incense burner.
1:04:57 > 1:04:59Heads.
1:04:59 > 1:05:01Yes, Robin, I've got it!
1:05:01 > 1:05:04But what will today's jaunt do for the two Davids
1:05:04 > 1:05:08as they make for that auction in Shrewsbury - or is it Shrows-bury?
1:05:08 > 1:05:11Actually, both are perfectly acceptable.
1:05:11 > 1:05:13Starting out once more in Rhayader
1:05:13 > 1:05:17where David Harper deposits David Barby.
1:05:18 > 1:05:22- Hello!- Good morning.- David Barby. What's your name?
1:05:22 > 1:05:26- David Carnan.- Another David! Good, we have something in common!
1:05:27 > 1:05:33David Barby's found one antique already and hopes to buy big today and so stretch his lead.
1:05:33 > 1:05:36I think I ought to invest around 200-plus.
1:05:36 > 1:05:41With what I've bought so far, I stand a chance of making a small profit.
1:05:41 > 1:05:44A nibbling away at the amount of money I've got.
1:05:44 > 1:05:48But I'd like to buy something a bit different and just boost the price.
1:05:48 > 1:05:52But tactics are on hold while he enjoys himself!
1:05:52 > 1:05:56This is really a very interesting shop.
1:05:56 > 1:06:00- What's that? I suppose it's a reproduction?- A cocktail shaker.
1:06:00 > 1:06:04- I don't think it is, no.- I think it's as brand-new as...
1:06:04 > 1:06:06- Look at the inside of that. - It's never been used.
1:06:06 > 1:06:08No staining, nothing.
1:06:10 > 1:06:12It's a terrible game, isn't it?
1:06:12 > 1:06:13How much is the Worcester jug?
1:06:13 > 1:06:15Oh, mega dear.
1:06:18 > 1:06:22- You'll tell me it's not Worcester, now!- It's Worcester. How much is that?
1:06:22 > 1:06:24- Has he not got a price on it?- No.
1:06:24 > 1:06:28And it's chipped, as well. I'll reject that one, thank you.
1:06:28 > 1:06:3115 pencil sketches in there.
1:06:31 > 1:06:33- Somebody on the Grand Tour.- Yeah.
1:06:33 > 1:06:35What's the date? 1848.
1:06:35 > 1:06:37People didn't have cameras.
1:06:37 > 1:06:40If they went on holiday, particularly abroad,
1:06:40 > 1:06:44they would take a sketch pad
1:06:44 > 1:06:47and they often had training to do quick sketches
1:06:47 > 1:06:48of scenes they were looking at
1:06:48 > 1:06:52and often they'd do a write-up at the side of what it was.
1:06:52 > 1:06:54But this is by an amateur hand,
1:06:54 > 1:06:56possibly a gifted female.
1:06:56 > 1:06:57Oh.
1:06:57 > 1:07:01The drawings are rejected, but here's something that could fly.
1:07:01 > 1:07:03There's a nice First World War propeller.
1:07:03 > 1:07:06This is a patent.
1:07:06 > 1:07:10One that was manufactured as an example.
1:07:10 > 1:07:13It's actually never been on a plane.
1:07:13 > 1:07:15How much is that?
1:07:15 > 1:07:1750 quid.
1:07:17 > 1:07:19The very, very, very best.
1:07:19 > 1:07:22That started at the very best. That's a bargain!
1:07:22 > 1:07:23Oh, he's...
1:07:23 > 1:07:27He's from my neck of the woods, as well. Birmingham.
1:07:27 > 1:07:31- I'm a Scouser, from Liverpool. - Well, that's close enough!
1:07:33 > 1:07:36That is a possibility.
1:07:36 > 1:07:39But I'd like it much reduced on that.
1:07:39 > 1:07:42- How much?- 30.
1:07:44 > 1:07:48- Go ahead. Seeing as it's you. - OK.- Seeing as it's a sale.
1:07:50 > 1:07:54Meanwhile, David H is once again behind the wheel and headed for his final shop,
1:07:54 > 1:07:58travelling from Rhayader to Llanidloes.
1:08:01 > 1:08:02Hi, I'm David Harper.
1:08:02 > 1:08:05- Mark. Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.
1:08:05 > 1:08:08- So how a browse round and... - I will. OK, Mark.
1:08:08 > 1:08:11I'll give you a shout if we can do something. OK.
1:08:11 > 1:08:16- What about the recumbent Buddha? Is it modern?- He's the good luck Buddha of the shop.
1:08:16 > 1:08:18The first thing I look at, I can't buy?
1:08:18 > 1:08:20That's a great start!
1:08:20 > 1:08:23Stumped again. Ah, well, as the Buddha says,
1:08:23 > 1:08:27"To the one who endures, the final victory comes."
1:08:27 > 1:08:30Nothing about nice things in cabinets, though!
1:08:30 > 1:08:34OK. Think of the man who has absolutely everything.
1:08:34 > 1:08:38He wants for nothing. What do you buy him for Christmas?
1:08:38 > 1:08:43Well, the perfect gentleman's accessory, a really good pen.
1:08:43 > 1:08:45He may not actually use it,
1:08:45 > 1:08:49but a Parker pen with a 14-carat gold nib.
1:08:49 > 1:08:5016 quid.
1:08:50 > 1:08:53It's actually really cheap.
1:08:53 > 1:08:59If you were to go to a vintage pen shop, I think that would make 50 quid, possibly?
1:08:59 > 1:09:02- That's a really nice pen, Mark, isn't it?- It is.
1:09:02 > 1:09:05Could that be devastatingly cheap? Help me out.
1:09:05 > 1:09:07- I'd go down to 12 on that.- 12.
1:09:07 > 1:09:09I bet we could make it ten.
1:09:09 > 1:09:13- I haven't got any change. Couldn't we?- Let's have a look. - I bet we could.
1:09:13 > 1:09:18- Seeing as it's you.- Good man. Thanks, Mark. Deal done. Thank you.
1:09:18 > 1:09:21Come on, David, own up. These are just the sort of toys
1:09:21 > 1:09:23you'd like to have yourself!
1:09:23 > 1:09:26Let's have a look at this watch.
1:09:26 > 1:09:32That's a really good quality, Swiss-made small manufacturer Roamer watch.
1:09:32 > 1:09:36My first good watch, bought for me when I was 18, was a Roamer.
1:09:36 > 1:09:39How much is it, Mark?
1:09:39 > 1:09:4028 quid.
1:09:40 > 1:09:44And so while David comes over all nostalgic,
1:09:44 > 1:09:46the dealer himself arrives to hear his offer.
1:09:46 > 1:09:51- Hello.- Hello, I'm Clive. I'm the owner of the items in the cabinet.
1:09:51 > 1:09:54- So if you're looking for a deal... - You've called him, have you?
1:09:54 > 1:09:58Good man. Right, let's have a look at this little watch.
1:09:58 > 1:10:00What kind of money could that be?
1:10:00 > 1:10:04- I could do that at £20. - Could you?- Yeah.
1:10:04 > 1:10:0620 quid, eh?
1:10:06 > 1:10:09Do you want to say 15 and be really happy?
1:10:10 > 1:10:12Would that make you happy, Clive?
1:10:13 > 1:10:17- Yes, go on, then.- Sure?- Yes. - Good man. Thank you very much.
1:10:17 > 1:10:19- The pen was yours, I believe?- Yes.
1:10:19 > 1:10:21So I owe you 25 quid.
1:10:21 > 1:10:25- That's fine.- There's 20 and five.
1:10:25 > 1:10:27That's it. I've hardly spent any money!
1:10:27 > 1:10:32And with that less than tactful comment, we shift our gaze to David Barby,
1:10:32 > 1:10:34who's struggling to spend his cash.
1:10:35 > 1:10:41David has travelled from Rhayader to Newbridge-on-Wye, in search of that big purchase.
1:10:42 > 1:10:47But despite a huge choice, things are not looking good.
1:10:49 > 1:10:51Hmm.
1:10:51 > 1:10:53I haven't seen anything yet
1:10:53 > 1:10:56that will be suitable for the auction.
1:10:56 > 1:10:59Eventually, David finds something to ponder upon.
1:10:59 > 1:11:00But he's still not happy.
1:11:00 > 1:11:07Well, it's a 1930s Jacobean revival cabinet, very fashionable at that time.
1:11:09 > 1:11:11It's a floor-standing gramophone.
1:11:11 > 1:11:16In the lower section you have storage for gramophones. It's got the original uprights.
1:11:16 > 1:11:20And then you have the sound box, which is here.
1:11:20 > 1:11:25It normally has a silk-lined screen. We haven't got that.
1:11:26 > 1:11:29Then you've got the actual turntable here.
1:11:31 > 1:11:34It's nicely dusty but not in particularly good working order.
1:11:34 > 1:11:39Which is a shame, because he could have played something to suit his mood!
1:11:39 > 1:11:40Gloomy!
1:11:41 > 1:11:44HEART-RENDING VIOLIN SOLO
1:11:50 > 1:11:53I'm quite, quite disappointed
1:11:53 > 1:12:00that there is nothing there that I can buy and make a profit on at auction.
1:12:10 > 1:12:11# I need a hero
1:12:11 > 1:12:15# I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
1:12:15 > 1:12:18# He's gotta be strong
1:12:18 > 1:12:19# And he's gotta be fast
1:12:19 > 1:12:22# And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
1:12:22 > 1:12:24# I need a hero! #
1:12:24 > 1:12:29David Harper is on his way from Llanidloes to Presteigne.
1:12:29 > 1:12:35Straddling the River Lugg, a stone's throw from the English border,
1:12:35 > 1:12:39the county town of Radnorshire has many fine buildings
1:12:39 > 1:12:44and David has come to visit the old courtroom, known as the Shire Hall.
1:12:44 > 1:12:47This 19th-century gem has been miraculously preserved
1:12:47 > 1:12:52so that visitors like David can get a real sense of Victorian rural justice.
1:12:52 > 1:12:56Oh, my goodness me. You're not the judge, I hope!
1:12:56 > 1:12:58No, no. Not today.
1:12:58 > 1:13:01- David Harper.- Charles Kitely. I'm one of the trustees here
1:13:01 > 1:13:04- and I helped to restore the building.- My gosh,
1:13:04 > 1:13:08- look at this place. - That's the judge's seat up there.
1:13:08 > 1:13:10And the witness box.
1:13:10 > 1:13:13Radnorshire juries were famous. They'd let them off.
1:13:13 > 1:13:16One judge saw a hare about to be got by a greyhound,
1:13:16 > 1:13:20and he said, "The only thing that will save that hare is a Radnorshire jury!"
1:13:20 > 1:13:25The building has been restored to its 1860s peak,
1:13:25 > 1:13:29complete with original bats' wing burner gas lighting.
1:13:29 > 1:13:31That is so stylish!
1:13:31 > 1:13:37This is the only house in Britain that's still got open-flame gas burners to light it.
1:13:37 > 1:13:39That is amazing!
1:13:41 > 1:13:43So here we are in the judge's lodge.
1:13:43 > 1:13:46- Gas lighting?- No, that's oil lamps.
1:13:46 > 1:13:48Oil. Of course. I can smell it.
1:13:48 > 1:13:55Me, too. Not only the courtroom, but the entire building has now been returned to its previous condition.
1:13:55 > 1:13:58Which means no electric lighting.
1:13:58 > 1:14:01This is the dining room.
1:14:02 > 1:14:06This furniture here and the chairs and table were laid for the house.
1:14:10 > 1:14:13This is extraordinary. This is older than the house.
1:14:13 > 1:14:14This is the jury box.
1:14:14 > 1:14:17All the people who were eligible to be jurymen,
1:14:17 > 1:14:20their names would be put in there on bits of paper.
1:14:20 > 1:14:25And some "indifferent" person would put his hand in
1:14:25 > 1:14:29- and pick out...John Jones.- Really? - William Thomas.
1:14:29 > 1:14:32- Is that right?- Yes, and then they had to serve.
1:14:32 > 1:14:38Below stairs, things are also completely authentic, in every murky detail.
1:14:38 > 1:14:40This is still working.
1:14:40 > 1:14:42Oh, a water pump.
1:14:43 > 1:14:44Look at that!
1:14:49 > 1:14:52And then we get into the more sort of business end.
1:14:52 > 1:14:57Folk accused of typical crimes like horse, and even duck, theft,
1:14:57 > 1:15:00would spend an anxious time in the cells.
1:15:00 > 1:15:03These, too, are now open to visitors.
1:15:03 > 1:15:05If you look in the cell here,
1:15:05 > 1:15:08I'm afraid we are going to have to keep you here...
1:15:08 > 1:15:09Hey!
1:15:09 > 1:15:13Ha-ha! That'll serve you!
1:15:13 > 1:15:15Did David Barby put you up to that?
1:15:15 > 1:15:16Very amusing(!)
1:15:16 > 1:15:19Meanwhile, his co-defendant, David Barby,
1:15:19 > 1:15:22has travelled from Newbridge-on-Wye
1:15:22 > 1:15:26to Llangurig, where he arrives, a desperate man.
1:15:27 > 1:15:30- Hello?- Hello!
1:15:30 > 1:15:34- David Barby.- Hi, Dave. Mike Elliott. - Hello, Michael, how are you? - How are you?
1:15:34 > 1:15:39This is a privilege. Thank you. To come into somebody's house that's also the dealer.
1:15:39 > 1:15:42- There's few left. - There's hidden treasures.
1:15:44 > 1:15:49There are certainly plenty of treasures in Mike's crowded house.
1:15:49 > 1:15:53The palpitations subside as David begins to feel at home.
1:15:53 > 1:15:58This is so encouraging because there are things I feel I can actually buy.
1:16:01 > 1:16:04- What's this little piece? - That's only just come in.
1:16:04 > 1:16:09I think it's for cigarettes or something, if you lift it up.
1:16:09 > 1:16:13- Cigarettes, cuff-links. - I think it's 1900 or something.
1:16:13 > 1:16:15- Yes.- That can be 35 quid.
1:16:15 > 1:16:16Oh, sugars!
1:16:16 > 1:16:19Why did I buy that kettle?
1:16:20 > 1:16:23Come on, David. No regrets about yesterday.
1:16:23 > 1:16:27A little box to think about, and next door, a slightly bigger box!
1:16:27 > 1:16:30What is that, on its own, the small cabinet?
1:16:30 > 1:16:33It's rosewood, but I can be £45.
1:16:33 > 1:16:35It's a good bit of wood.
1:16:35 > 1:16:38- I think that's got potential.- Yes.
1:16:38 > 1:16:44- This is the base of an etagere which is, in ordinary terms, a what-not.- A what-not.
1:16:44 > 1:16:48So above here, you'd have probably one, maybe three shelves.
1:16:48 > 1:16:54It was intended for ornamental items, clocks, bijouterie, something like that.
1:16:54 > 1:16:58- I'm going to have that one.- Good. - Thank you very much.- Good. Pleasure.
1:16:58 > 1:17:02- That's an interesting little clock, yes.- Yes. Yeah.
1:17:02 > 1:17:05- What price range are we looking at? - Two and a half.
1:17:05 > 1:17:07I think he means hundreds.
1:17:07 > 1:17:12- That's the very best you can do? - Yes, it does owe me more, I promise you.
1:17:12 > 1:17:13Seriously.
1:17:13 > 1:17:15Is that the very, very best you can do?
1:17:15 > 1:17:17Well, the very best
1:17:17 > 1:17:19would be £230.
1:17:19 > 1:17:20Right.
1:17:20 > 1:17:25- I saw that little box that you quoted, was it 30?- 35.- £35 on it.
1:17:25 > 1:17:27I think that is exquisite.
1:17:27 > 1:17:30- It is.- Absolutely exquisite. - Super.
1:17:30 > 1:17:34Well, at 250 quid, you might be able to marry the two.
1:17:36 > 1:17:38- That is very tempting.- Well.
1:17:38 > 1:17:40That's cheap.
1:17:40 > 1:17:41Tempting and cheap!
1:17:41 > 1:17:44DRUM ROLL
1:17:45 > 1:17:47Ooh, what have I done?
1:17:47 > 1:17:51What a relief! David's finally splashed that cash.
1:17:51 > 1:17:55And now he's discovered something Mike will probably never sell,
1:17:55 > 1:17:57his karaoke machine!
1:17:58 > 1:18:03- #- I want a dream lover, cos I don't wanna dream alone.- #
1:18:03 > 1:18:06Keep singing like that and you'll always be alone!
1:18:06 > 1:18:09And now, the two must, once again,
1:18:09 > 1:18:12compare and contrast their respective purchases.
1:18:12 > 1:18:14This might get tetchy!
1:18:16 > 1:18:18- Oh, they're nice. - I think they're American.
1:18:18 > 1:18:22- What did you pay? Around £30? - A bit less. 20.- That's good.
1:18:22 > 1:18:24That's a terrific amount less.
1:18:24 > 1:18:28Very cordial. Perhaps they'll behave themselves today.
1:18:28 > 1:18:31- What on earth is that? Part of a propeller?- Yes.
1:18:31 > 1:18:36- It's sort of got a Deco feel. - It has got a Deco feel. I think it's a good piece of wood.
1:18:36 > 1:18:41I wouldn't know about it, but I appreciate its historic interest
1:18:41 > 1:18:43to anyone who has a bi-plane.
1:18:43 > 1:18:46You're so damning in your comments!
1:18:46 > 1:18:48Not so cordial.
1:18:48 > 1:18:50Now for the vintage Swiss.
1:18:50 > 1:18:54It's a very good quality, stylish gentleman's watch.
1:18:54 > 1:18:58It is, indeed. I prefer this style of watch, actually.
1:18:58 > 1:19:01It's not the modern bling, bling, in your face.
1:19:02 > 1:19:04Oh. Like that.
1:19:04 > 1:19:06This is very, very stylish.
1:19:07 > 1:19:10Because it's very similar to your own watch!
1:19:13 > 1:19:15What about the muffin fork?
1:19:15 > 1:19:19- I think it's a thing of beauty with that twisty handle.- It's all silver.
1:19:19 > 1:19:21- Is the handle hallmarked? - Yes. It's all silver.
1:19:21 > 1:19:27Yes, there's the Queen's head. I would be happy to pay 45.
1:19:28 > 1:19:33- It's yours!- Really?- I paid 20. - That's very cheap.
1:19:33 > 1:19:35David's bargain fountain pen.
1:19:35 > 1:19:39I think that's a 14-carat mounted Duofold Parker pen.
1:19:39 > 1:19:42- It says rolled gold up here. - It does not!
1:19:42 > 1:19:45- It does.- Doesn't. That's a registration mark!
1:19:47 > 1:19:50- It's a Duofold.- I imagine you paid about 15 for it.
1:19:50 > 1:19:52- I paid for that £10.- Yeah.
1:19:52 > 1:19:55The Edwardian eating lot. Item one.
1:19:55 > 1:19:57It doesn't get me going.
1:19:57 > 1:20:00I don't lust after it. I don't want to run away with it.
1:20:00 > 1:20:02- No.- Do you know what I mean?
1:20:02 > 1:20:04I think he does, David.
1:20:06 > 1:20:11That came with this little object, to make baby's food
1:20:11 > 1:20:13on the journey.
1:20:13 > 1:20:15That's really sweet.
1:20:15 > 1:20:18Harking back to the early 20th century.
1:20:18 > 1:20:21It's full of, what shall I say, part of our social history.
1:20:21 > 1:20:25- It is.- In more ways than one. - Absolutely. Very interesting.
1:20:25 > 1:20:27David Harper's favourite buy.
1:20:27 > 1:20:31Feast your eyes on that beauty.
1:20:31 > 1:20:36It's hand-painted, hand-potted, and it's signed, by the way.
1:20:36 > 1:20:41I tell you what, David Barby, you put that on a good period table
1:20:41 > 1:20:45in a contemporary room, and it would look so modern.
1:20:45 > 1:20:48That, brand-spanking new in some flash shop somewhere
1:20:48 > 1:20:50would be hundreds of pounds
1:20:50 > 1:20:53yet you can buy a real piece for 30 quid.
1:20:53 > 1:20:55Antiques expensive? No.
1:20:55 > 1:20:59I don't like it. I can't see the quality there, David.
1:20:59 > 1:21:01Oh, dear. Here we go!
1:21:01 > 1:21:05Right. Let's see how horrible I can be about something of yours.
1:21:05 > 1:21:08I don't think I was horrible. I was non-committal.
1:21:08 > 1:21:10Oooh!
1:21:10 > 1:21:12Ooh, mind your back, David!
1:21:13 > 1:21:15A little bit of rosewood.
1:21:16 > 1:21:18A vast amount of rosewood.
1:21:18 > 1:21:201860.
1:21:20 > 1:21:23- 1870, maybe.- I wouldn't say as late as that.
1:21:23 > 1:21:27It's got no Arts and Crafts or aesthetic movement about it.
1:21:27 > 1:21:30- OK. A nice quality piece of brown furniture.- Not brown.
1:21:30 > 1:21:34- It's not mahogany or oak. At the back...- Sorry, what colour is it?- It's rosewood.
1:21:34 > 1:21:39- If you look at the back... - Isn't that brown?- No. It's got honey streaks in it.
1:21:39 > 1:21:40Calm down, please!
1:21:40 > 1:21:45It's 80 quid's-worth. 70 quid's-worth. £50-worth.
1:21:45 > 1:21:47- I paid £40 for it.- It's fine.
1:21:47 > 1:21:50Another nice piece of rosewood.
1:21:50 > 1:21:54This table is so similar to yours, it's unbelievable.
1:21:54 > 1:22:00- Because of this, I think it's added great interest to it. How much did I pay?- I think 45.
1:22:00 > 1:22:04- 45? No, I paid a bit more. 65. - That's very, very good.
1:22:04 > 1:22:07Liar! Finally, David Barby's treasure.
1:22:07 > 1:22:11Ooh! I think that's a little sweetie.
1:22:11 > 1:22:17- And it came with this?- Came with that little box from the same house, according to the dealer.
1:22:17 > 1:22:22I think it's really bonny. Really nice. I'd say 120 for the two. What did you pay?
1:22:22 > 1:22:26- No, that's far too little.- Come on. - I don't even want to tell you.
1:22:26 > 1:22:29- You have to tell me. - I paid £250 for the two.
1:22:29 > 1:22:31- Did you really?- Yeah.
1:22:33 > 1:22:35OK.
1:22:35 > 1:22:36Is it me,
1:22:36 > 1:22:38or is that clock ticking?
1:22:40 > 1:22:44- I value your opinion, David. - Thank you.- I value your opinion.
1:22:44 > 1:22:46Phew, I'm glad that's over!
1:22:46 > 1:22:52I found the whole exercise today rather depressing.
1:22:52 > 1:22:56David has that awful knack of putting in prices
1:22:56 > 1:23:01obviously well under what I actually paid for them.
1:23:01 > 1:23:04He gets horrified when I give a price, but I'm not being awful.
1:23:04 > 1:23:06It's just that it's a risky one.
1:23:06 > 1:23:11So we're both going to be hoping on that one, in opposite directions.
1:23:11 > 1:23:13David does have that ability
1:23:13 > 1:23:17of embellishing and making his objects sound absolutely wonderful
1:23:17 > 1:23:19when in fact they're not.
1:23:19 > 1:23:25I dislike intensely the late Japanese Satsuma pieces
1:23:25 > 1:23:27because they are gaudy and fairground like.
1:23:27 > 1:23:31After starting out on the Welsh coast at Aberystwyth,
1:23:31 > 1:23:35this leg of our tour will conclude just over the English border
1:23:35 > 1:23:38in Shrewsbury. That's how I pronounce it.
1:23:38 > 1:23:42The English and the Welsh have fought over the place for years,
1:23:42 > 1:23:45but the county town of Shropshire escaped the bombs of World War II
1:23:45 > 1:23:48and currently has well over 600 listed buildings.
1:23:48 > 1:23:52Street names such as Bear Steps, Dog Pole and Grope Lane
1:23:52 > 1:23:55have remained unchanged for centuries, too.
1:23:55 > 1:23:58David B and David H are crossing the River Severn
1:23:58 > 1:24:00for a general sale at Hall's auctioneers.
1:24:00 > 1:24:03I'm fearful that I shall make a loss today.
1:24:05 > 1:24:08David Harper has spent £140 on five lots.
1:24:08 > 1:24:11I've hardly spent any money. David will hit the roof!
1:24:11 > 1:24:14While David Barby has, as promised,
1:24:14 > 1:24:21lavished a whopping £355 also on five lots including this 19th-century time-piece.
1:24:23 > 1:24:25Ooh, what have I done?
1:24:25 > 1:24:29So, while the good people of Shrewsbury take a peek at the lots,
1:24:29 > 1:24:32let's have a word with gavel-wielding Andrew Beeston.
1:24:32 > 1:24:35The item that could do the best
1:24:35 > 1:24:39is the William IV mahogany drum-head miniature time-piece.
1:24:39 > 1:24:42Very nice. We will see.
1:24:42 > 1:24:49My favourite has to be the propeller. Anything linked to aviation, very nice.
1:24:49 > 1:24:51I'd love to have it on my wall.
1:24:51 > 1:24:53Well, you can't have it. Ready for this?
1:24:53 > 1:24:55- David, think lucky. - I'll think lucky.
1:24:56 > 1:24:58David Barby's fork.
1:24:58 > 1:25:00With a crack.
1:25:00 > 1:25:01£30. 30.
1:25:01 > 1:25:0320, anywhere?
1:25:03 > 1:25:0620? Ten. £10 bid. At 12 now.
1:25:06 > 1:25:09At ten. Should be 12. £12.
1:25:09 > 1:25:1112. 14. 16.
1:25:11 > 1:25:16- 18. 20. 22. £22. Four anywhere? - It's so cheap.
1:25:16 > 1:25:18At 22.
1:25:18 > 1:25:21I'm surprised.
1:25:21 > 1:25:23That tiny profit will be a loss after commission.
1:25:24 > 1:25:26I'm concerned about the other lots.
1:25:26 > 1:25:29David Harper's nice piece of parquetry.
1:25:29 > 1:25:34Start the bidding. 50. 30 to start me. £30. 35.
1:25:34 > 1:25:39- 40. Five. 50. £50. Take the five. - Come on!
1:25:39 > 1:25:41£50 in the room now. At 50.
1:25:41 > 1:25:44- Five now? We are selling at £50. - No, David, no!
1:25:44 > 1:25:46226.
1:25:46 > 1:25:49Another loss. This ain't boding well.
1:25:49 > 1:25:51That's a very bad start for me.
1:25:51 > 1:25:55- You've got your Satsuma coming up. - Yeah. Thank you very much(!)
1:25:55 > 1:25:59Now, David B's picnic collection with child's bowl.
1:25:59 > 1:26:0210 bid. £10 bid. Take the 12.
1:26:02 > 1:26:06- At £10. Is there a 12? At £10. £12? - Oh, God, this is terrible!
1:26:06 > 1:26:08At £10.
1:26:09 > 1:26:13- £10.- What did that owe you? 15?
1:26:13 > 1:26:16A familiar outcome today.
1:26:16 > 1:26:19- You're smiling.- I'm trying not to. - I wish you wouldn't!
1:26:19 > 1:26:24Now, what will Shrewsbury make of David H's prized Satsuma?
1:26:24 > 1:26:27Start the bidding. Should be straightaway £40. 40. 40 bid.
1:26:27 > 1:26:31£40. Take the five now. At £40. 45.
1:26:31 > 1:26:3350. Five.
1:26:33 > 1:26:36- 55.- Come on.- £55 bid. 60?
1:26:36 > 1:26:41At £55. Selling at £55.
1:26:41 > 1:26:44- You've made a profit.- It's a profit. - It's a profit.
1:26:44 > 1:26:46Yes. Be very grateful!
1:26:46 > 1:26:48They may be rare, today.
1:26:48 > 1:26:50I'm happy with that, just to make a profit.
1:26:50 > 1:26:54The auctioneer likes David's propeller, but will anybody else?
1:26:54 > 1:26:5630 bid. £30 I'm bid.
1:26:56 > 1:26:5830. Five now. At £30.
1:26:58 > 1:27:02Who's got the five? At 30. Starter's bid. 35.
1:27:02 > 1:27:0340. Five.
1:27:03 > 1:27:0750. £50 at the back there.
1:27:07 > 1:27:10At 50. We shall sell. Make no mistakes.
1:27:10 > 1:27:13- Oh, well.- How do you feel about that?- It's OK.
1:27:13 > 1:27:16Another profit, minus commission.
1:27:16 > 1:27:17Give me a smile.
1:27:19 > 1:27:22Neck and neck. What can these do?
1:27:22 > 1:27:2530. £30. There we go.
1:27:25 > 1:27:29- Label your bottles. 30 bid. - Come on, baby.
1:27:29 > 1:27:3132 now? At 30. Who's got the two?
1:27:31 > 1:27:34Bid's in front at £30. Maiden bid.
1:27:34 > 1:27:36At 30.
1:27:36 > 1:27:38- Ten quid.- £10. That's all right.
1:27:38 > 1:27:41No matter who made them. They made a profit.
1:27:41 > 1:27:42That's the spirit!
1:27:43 > 1:27:47Next, David Barby's what-not bottom bit.
1:27:47 > 1:27:49Straightaway 10, 25, £30.
1:27:49 > 1:27:52At £30. Take the five. At £30. Five now.
1:27:52 > 1:27:55At £30. And five. 35.
1:27:55 > 1:27:57At 35. 40. Five.
1:27:57 > 1:28:0050. £50. Where's the five? Five.
1:28:00 > 1:28:06- 60. Five. £65 in the back. - Should be worth more than that.
1:28:06 > 1:28:08At 65.
1:28:08 > 1:28:10- That made a profit.- A profit, yes.
1:28:10 > 1:28:13I think today's going to be who gets away with it day.
1:28:14 > 1:28:17Next, David Harper's fountain pen.
1:28:17 > 1:28:2120? No? Ten. Give me a start. Ten bid. 12. 15.
1:28:21 > 1:28:2618 at the back? £18, gentleman's bid. 20 now.
1:28:26 > 1:28:27At 18. Should be 20.
1:28:27 > 1:28:29At £18.
1:28:29 > 1:28:35- You've made a profit.- At £18. - Come on.- Now selling at £18.
1:28:35 > 1:28:37You've made a profit.
1:28:37 > 1:28:39I made a profit. I know!
1:28:39 > 1:28:41Yes, he has. Just.
1:28:41 > 1:28:44I'm trying to tell myself, "Be happy."
1:28:44 > 1:28:47But it's not a great profit, is it?
1:28:47 > 1:28:50Now for David Barby's big risk.
1:28:50 > 1:28:52The time-piece and the box.
1:28:52 > 1:28:57Start the bidding straightaway with me. Commission bid. 180 I'm bid.
1:28:57 > 1:28:58180.
1:28:58 > 1:29:02190. At £190. Do I see 200?
1:29:02 > 1:29:04At 190.
1:29:04 > 1:29:07200. At £200. Commission bid against you now.
1:29:07 > 1:29:10At £200, commission bid.
1:29:10 > 1:29:12200.
1:29:12 > 1:29:16Could that loss give David Harper an overall lead?
1:29:16 > 1:29:19Very disappointing. But it's what I thought.
1:29:19 > 1:29:22Finally the watch that reminded David Harper of his misspent youth.
1:29:22 > 1:29:2420. Where are you? £20.
1:29:24 > 1:29:25No? £20.
1:29:25 > 1:29:28Ten to start it. Ten bid. £10 bid.
1:29:28 > 1:29:29Take the 12. At £10.
1:29:29 > 1:29:33At £10. Should be a 12.
1:29:33 > 1:29:37- At £10.- Should be 12.- 12 to sell. - Come on!
1:29:37 > 1:29:39At £10.
1:29:39 > 1:29:41At £10.
1:29:41 > 1:29:44- I'm trying! At £10.- Try harder!
1:29:44 > 1:29:47At ten. It's in Australia, though, it's upside-down.
1:29:47 > 1:29:49- £10.- It works.
1:29:49 > 1:29:50£10.
1:29:50 > 1:29:54For God's sake, I can't believe it.
1:29:54 > 1:29:58David, don't worry. Don't worry.
1:29:58 > 1:30:00I can't believe it.
1:30:00 > 1:30:03That Swiss miss means a loss
1:30:03 > 1:30:07but nothing like what David Barby suffered on his time-piece.
1:30:07 > 1:30:10Somebody is one or two pounds ahead,
1:30:10 > 1:30:13but I don't know who because my maths is so poor!
1:30:13 > 1:30:19Good news, David Harper, because after a so-so day in Shropshire for both of them,
1:30:19 > 1:30:21he's just crept into the lead.
1:30:21 > 1:30:26David Harper began with £726.05
1:30:26 > 1:30:31and made a loss of £70.46 after auction costs today.
1:30:31 > 1:30:36So he has just £655.59 to spend tomorrow.
1:30:36 > 1:30:41While David Harper started this round with £674.98,
1:30:41 > 1:30:44and made a loss of £6.34 after auction costs,
1:30:44 > 1:30:50leaving him today with £668.64 to spend tomorrow.
1:30:50 > 1:30:53A lead of little more than £10.
1:30:54 > 1:30:57- I am so relieved. - You're so relieved.- Absolutely.
1:30:57 > 1:31:02- A victory for me, but not a great victory. A weak victory.- £10!
1:31:02 > 1:31:05It could have been substantially more, David Barby,
1:31:05 > 1:31:11if you had failed on that clock and I had won on my Satsuma or my pen.
1:31:11 > 1:31:13Quality will out!
1:31:13 > 1:31:17Join us tomorrow to see David B sniff out a bargain
1:31:17 > 1:31:21and David H create quite a stink.
1:31:21 > 1:31:22Can you smell my aftershave?
1:31:22 > 1:31:25- Slightly.- I poured loads on!
