0:00:02 > 0:00:04The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each,
0:00:04 > 0:00:06and one big challenge.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09- I'm here to declare war.- Why?
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16- It's very good! - The aim is to trade up
0:00:16 > 0:00:19and hope each antique turns a profit.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21But it's not as easy as you might think
0:00:21 > 0:00:24- and things don't always go to plan. - Push!
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Will they race off with a huge profit or come to a grinding halt?
0:00:28 > 0:00:31- Do you think I'd believe that? - This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:34 > 0:00:35# Yeah! #
0:00:35 > 0:00:39# I'm a road runner, honey
0:00:39 > 0:00:41# Beep, beep #
0:00:41 > 0:00:45- Today concludes the epic tour of David Harper...- Come on, baby!
0:00:45 > 0:00:48..and David Barby, affable but ambitious.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53- My last chance to win!- You want to get rid of me, don't you? I'm hurt!
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Not at all! I shall suffer withdrawal symptoms!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58THEY LAUGH
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Don't believe a word of it.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Each man is desperate to win
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and competition this week has been fierce.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11- I think it's amazing...that they can reproduce things like this.- Stop it!
0:01:11 > 0:01:16David B was in the lead, but yesterday David H sneaked ahead by a mere £13.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- You're smiling.- I'm trying not to. - I wish you wouldn't.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24So expect some tough negotiating, as like a penalty shootout,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27today's events decide all.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- One of us, by the end of today, will be a winner.- Yes.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Yes.- And one of us... - Is going to be fired!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36THEY LAUGH
0:01:36 > 0:01:38They began with £200 each
0:01:38 > 0:01:43and David B starts today with £655.59 to spend.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47The other David has just a little bit more,
0:01:47 > 0:01:52with £668.64.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58This week, we're travelling in a Triumph TR3 through Ireland, north and south,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and then across Wales.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04The winner will be crowned at an auction in Llanelli.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07But we start out in England, at Hereford.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10DREAMY MUSIC
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Famous for cattle and cider,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Hereford is also the birthplace of several actors,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21including Beryl Reid, the great David Garrick,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24and allegedly Nell Gwyn.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Composer Edward Elgar was a resident
0:02:27 > 0:02:31and wrote several of his most famous works here.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34This is a very well-dressed Edwardian gentleman.
0:02:34 > 0:02:40- This is Elgar.- Is it Elgar. - He's got a little notepad. They're the musical scores.- I see!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Getting inspiration from this wonderful building.- As you would.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- Which way do we go? Over there? OK. Come on, let's go shopping!- Oh!
0:02:51 > 0:02:56I love antique centres. There's always lots of stock. That's what I like.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00But as with most antique centres, the choice can be a little overwhelming.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05It's one of these occasions when there's just too much to look at. You get bedazzled.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11In amongst all these goods, David Harper has spotted something small and brown. Rubber gloves?!
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I've never handled anything quite like this,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16described as a "treen carved Brazil nut shell".
0:03:16 > 0:03:21That's exactly what it is. "Treen" meaning any small piece of hand-carved wood.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24For £28, you can have that on your side table.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- But, Richard...- Yes?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30What do you think...of that?
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Have you seen anything quite like it before?- No, I haven't.- No.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- It is quite interesting.- It is. So the Brazil nuts are on the inside?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42This is like the husk. That's how it grows, I believe.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45What could that be for me?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Erm, we could do that for £20 for you.- 20.- Yes.
0:03:50 > 0:03:5220 quid...
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- I think I'm going to have to have it, don't you?- Yes? - Good man. Thank you very much.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Elsewhere, David Barby is less decisive. He knows what he likes,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10but will it sell at auction?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Richard, I noticed that as I've been wandering around.
0:04:13 > 0:04:19- What's the demand for it? Not high? - Not high, I would say.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Ohh!
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I've been through every single teapot and each one has a slight fault.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29A bit of restoration, yes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Look sharp, here comes a fellow tripper!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Ooh! - They just can't bear to be apart!
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- We've been together on many occasions.- No, we haven't. - Yes, we have.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40We're on our honeymoon.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43You've made every moment worthwhile!
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- We'll be getting divorced soon. - That big sacrifice I made!
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Have you finished downstairs now? - All done. Bought the lot. Nothing for you.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Well, hardly.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59But at £185, this standish inkstand is a bit pricey.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03I think... It's not flavour of the month,
0:05:03 > 0:05:07but it's quirky enough, because it's tall, to be of interest.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- But they've gone off the boil.- Yes.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14So it's got to be at a very reasonable figure.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15OK.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- I'll try! - HE LAUGHS
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Go on, Richard, you tell him all that.- Hello.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25This is quite nice. It's late Victorian.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28It's the sort of thing that a gentleman would have on his desk.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31The pens would rest either side.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35That would be for red ink, the other would be for blue ink.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38And it could be taken from one room to another.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43You'd put nibs in there, maybe sealing wax in that one,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46and then you'd have envelopes.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51At auction, that would sell for somewhere in the region of £80-90.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55So it's got to be at a fairly reasonable price.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57OK. Thank you.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00125.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I think I'm going to bomb on it.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08Step aside, Richard. Let's see the master at work.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I'm concerned if I buy it at the figure that you mentioned,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15I don't stand a chance at auction.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Well, I was hoping round about 80.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20That is very, very encouraging.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Would you split the difference at 90, sir?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I'm actually on my knees. Yes.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31OK, they're going to film me going on my knees now.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36So I'm on my knees and will be filmed!
0:06:36 > 0:06:40£90. OK. You've got a deal. Thank you very much. Bye-bye.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47And that is how the master does it.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52So while David and inkstand part to see more of historic Hereford...
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- Can I have a look at that little lacquered box there? - ..other David tries his skills.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- It's a tea caddy...- Yes. - ..which is quite nice.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03How old do you think this one is?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- 18...80?- It's got to be, hasn't it?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11It's got that pagoda top, which is very Chinese, isn't it?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Inlaid with mother-of-pearl, which is gorgeous.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- Let's have a look at the caddy box. - Let's get hold of that.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21So that should slide, shouldn't it?
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- Can you smell anything? - It smells beautiful. Smell that.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32- No. I still can't smell anything. - For goodness, sake! Really? - No. I can't, really.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Can you smell my aftershave? - Slightly.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- Poo!- I poured loads on! I'm covered in aftershave! - That's enough of that, thank you.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43What's that going to sell for? Is it £30?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- I doubt it very much.- No? - I doubt it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Is it 20, then?- No.- Oh.- No. No.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Er, it's got to be, I don't know,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- 85?- Ohh! Really?- Mm.- Really?- Mm.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Could it be 40?
0:07:59 > 0:08:0150 and you've got a deal.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I'll make it 45. And I'll buy you a cup of tea.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- You're a hard man! - A lovely cup of tea!
0:08:07 > 0:08:11I'll make it myself. I'll mix it and blend it and everything.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- OK.- Marvellous. You're an absolutely dreamboat. Thank you very much.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- That's a beautiful... - It is a beautiful piece.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I'm not sure you'll ever get that cuppa!
0:08:19 > 0:08:23But while David H has been getting keen on that caddy, giving it a sniff,
0:08:23 > 0:08:28poor old David B's had a drama. He's been involved in an accident!
0:08:28 > 0:08:32You should've seen the other guy!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It's nothing like that! I tripped! I tripped!
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I fell over a step no bigger than that
0:08:38 > 0:08:41and wham! straight into one of those garden benches!
0:08:41 > 0:08:46It split my eye just down there and my eyelid just down there.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Marvellous staff! Marvellous staff!
0:08:48 > 0:08:54They patched it up and made it look rather attractive, rather like a sort of mosaic.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56It looks rather nice, doesn't it?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I don't know about that. At least there may be a sympathy discount.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Luckily, his sparring partner is on hand
0:09:02 > 0:09:06to give him a slightly bumpy ride and a bit of sympathy...
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Watch your speed, David! - Thank you, David!
0:09:10 > 0:09:14..travelling from Hereford to Merthyr Tydfil.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18The town today is a very different place
0:09:18 > 0:09:22from when it was the first industrial town of Wales.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Then its coal, iron ore, limestone and water
0:09:26 > 0:09:29meant Merthyr made much of the iron and steel
0:09:29 > 0:09:32that fuelled industrial Britain.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36David is here to visit Cyfarthfa Castle,
0:09:36 > 0:09:41the former home of an iron magnate and now the Museum of Merthyr.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Hello, Scott. David Barby.- Hi!
0:09:44 > 0:09:47What a superb place. You're curator here?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49That's right. I've been here for 11 years.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- Welcome to Cyfarthfa Castle. - Thank you.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Is the museum devoted to one particular family,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- the Crawshay family? - That's right, indeed.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01The first member of the family, Richard Crawshay,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04saw the potential of the Cyfarthfa Ironworks
0:10:04 > 0:10:07and built it up to be the biggest ironworks in the world.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13At the time of his death in 1810, he was worth £1.5 million,
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- which in today's money is between three and four billion pounds! - Goodness me!
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Which puts him in the same league as Bill Gates.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25When Richard died, his grandson William took over the works
0:10:25 > 0:10:28and used some of that enormous wealth
0:10:28 > 0:10:32to build the family's mock castle in the 1820s.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35His son, Robert Thompson Crawshay,
0:10:35 > 0:10:39decided that iron and steel just weren't enough. He needed a hobby.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42He established this brass band amongst the workers.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45He bought them all their instruments,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47which were the very finest of their type.
0:10:47 > 0:10:53And he also cheated by buying in professional musicians from the north of England
0:10:53 > 0:10:55and giving them nominal jobs in the ironworks
0:10:55 > 0:10:58just so they could be part of his band.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- Was there great competition at that time?- There was.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07And the resentment amongst the genuine worker bands in the area was such
0:11:07 > 0:11:13that they'd go to huge lengths to sabotage Cyfarthfa at performance!
0:11:13 > 0:11:17But it wasn't just music that upset the workers.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Theirs was an unhappy lot and they soon began to organise and fight for their rights.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25This little box is a symbol of their struggle.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Merthyr Tydfil developed an extremely active Labour movement.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32And in 1870, the grocer named William Gould
0:11:32 > 0:11:38decided that there should be a device to ensure that elections were conducted freely and fairly,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40hence, he had this ballot box developed.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42It's quite a simple concept.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Each candidate had their own separate box
0:11:46 > 0:11:49and each voter was given one token.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53The idea was, you took your token, placed it in the top,
0:11:53 > 0:11:58it would count the vote on the front and there was no danger of interference.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01So, it's registering 119?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- That's right.- That means the tokens are still inside.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09It does rattle when we move it, so we guess there's probably a few tokens in there!
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- You've never looked inside, have you? - A bit too dangerous to open up!
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I love the garden.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Meanwhile, chauffeur David Harper has headed off
0:12:20 > 0:12:22through the Brecon Beacons,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26making his way from Merthyr to Trecastle.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- CAR WHISTLES - Not sure about that fan belt, David!
0:12:30 > 0:12:33The shop includes the mysterious Kingdom of Rust,
0:12:33 > 0:12:38and there's plenty here that you won't find in the usual antiques outlet.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- Hello, I'm David.- I'm Margaret. - Hello, Margaret. Lovely to meet you. - And you.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- This looks nice.- I hope there's something you'll be interested in.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I'm sure there will be, Margaret! Given time...
0:12:49 > 0:12:53A nice set of hubcaps, for example, to hang on the wall.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Or some other bits of motoring paraphernalia.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Is that a book or a tin I see before me?
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Now, there's a bargain. That is a very cheap thing. £5.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Probably in an auction will make...
0:13:08 > 0:13:09..I don't know,
0:13:09 > 0:13:1210, 20, 30, 40 pounds, depending on who's there.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15But it probably won't be enough to beat Barby,
0:13:15 > 0:13:21so today, I'll just have to leave that alone.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Tucked away behind the wardrobe, opportunity lurks.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27These... You grab that one.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Let me grab that one.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I would imagine, then, that these things,
0:13:32 > 0:13:37- they're obviously copper plates for printing, aren't they?- They are.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39How many have you got? About 15.
0:13:39 > 0:13:45Margaret, I think these are probably from a metal manufacturer
0:13:45 > 0:13:49who's created a catalogue, circa 1880.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53What have we got there? It's some kind of range.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55But look at the plate. It's so beautifully done.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00- I've just seen something really quite important there.- Right.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I don't know whether it'll make a difference to the price.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Can you read backwards?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I've got a job reading forwards, let alone backwards!
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Look at that there. If you were to print that...
0:14:12 > 0:14:15"Coalbrookdale".
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Wonderful. - One of the best manufacturers
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- of mainly cast-ironwares. - Absolutely.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Hold that, Margaret. - You grip fast, Margaret.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- What else have we got here? It's a footman, isn't it?- It is.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32That's the kind of thing, in 1880, you would put in front of the fire
0:14:32 > 0:14:36and you'd put your slippers on. How much are they?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- They're cheap.- Are they? - Very cheap for what they are.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42How much each could they be?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Well, they should be about £8 each.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50- No, they shouldn't!- They should! Absolutely! Look at the quality -
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Er, hello! It's says £4 each.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- You asked how much- should- they be! - Oh, right! OK!
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Hey, she's good. She's very good.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02They are unique.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Do them for £2 each
0:15:04 > 0:15:07and I'll have every single one you can throw at me.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Don't tempt her. - Every one, I'll have.- No!
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I mean, that's... It'd break my heart.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- CLANG! - Whoops!
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Margaret, I think... Was that you that dropped that or was it me?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22It's definitely you, so they're worth £3 each now!
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- She's good, isn't she? - I'll give you £2 each, all done.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Margaret, take my money.- I can't!
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- Take my money.- I can't. I can't! No! - DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- I'll meet you halfway. - Stick to your guns, Margaret.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Don't do it, Margaret!
0:15:41 > 0:15:46This is really painful, you know that? It's grieving me to have to do this.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- It's great fun, you know it is. - I know. Well...
0:15:50 > 0:15:53It's what we get out of bed on a morning for. Come on!
0:15:53 > 0:15:59It doesn't make any difference whether it's £2.50 or £250,000, it's the same feeling.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00We love it!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- No!- Marvellous. Marvellous.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10As the proud owner of some old blocks,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13his colleague has also moved on,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15making his way from Merthyr to Brecon...
0:16:17 > 0:16:20..a traditional mid-Wales market town,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22which also has a not-so-traditional jazz festival
0:16:22 > 0:16:25and some antique shops.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- Hello?- Hello?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Hello!- Hello!
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Don't let my appearance shock you. I'm David Barby.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Hi. I'm Martha.- Hello, Martha.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Do you know what I'm here for?- Yes! - To get bargains!
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Have a look around, if your eye allows you, that is.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46I noticed in the window,
0:16:46 > 0:16:53you've got a little sort of, erm, pink heart resting on some tiles.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- What are the tiles? - I can get them out of the window if you want to have a look at them.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Yes. How much are they? - They're £6 each.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Oh!- Oh, no!- I've come over all faint!
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Could I have a look at them, please? - Of course.- Thank you.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Where do these come from? - Are they off an old wash stand or maybe a fire surround?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- Yes. How much are they?- £6 each.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Ooh! Come on! What's the very best you can do?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- The very, very best? - Make me an offer.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27HE SIGHS
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- £2 each.- Ooh!
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- How many are you going to take? - The lot.- The lot.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- OK.- £2.- £4 each.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Two pounds! Two pounds!
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- £4 each. That's 24, down from 36. - Let's split the difference.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- £3 each. Please.- No, 20, the lot.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- 18.- Oh, no!
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- 18. I'm going to buy something else! - Are you?- Yes!
0:17:53 > 0:17:56If you buy something else, I may consider it.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57OK, right.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Now, where's your penny section? SHE LAUGHS
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Me bargain section?!
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Why I like these, when I got married,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08we had a collection of Victorian tiles.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11And these are tube-lined Art Nouveau tiles.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15There's no make on the back of them at all,
0:18:15 > 0:18:20which is a bit disappointing, I would've liked to have seen a manufacturer's mark,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24but all this is tube-lined here, rather like Moorcroft,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27then in-filled with colour and glazes.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Those are quite nice. I like that.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33JOLLY MUSIC
0:18:35 > 0:18:40If David is going to have Martha's tiles, he's got to get something else in his basket.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Martha, how much is this old snout head?- You're one to talk!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45395.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49That's an unusual sum. Three pounds 95.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51SHE LAUGHS
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Right, thank you. It's a no-go.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00There was a designer for Midwinter Pottery called Jessie Tait,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02and she moved over to Meakin,
0:19:02 > 0:19:06and this is one of her designs from the 1950s.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10I think that's quite good. That's £22. That's quite a lot.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17The, erm, Meakin...
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- ..coffee set...- Mm.
0:19:19 > 0:19:2222 on that.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29- What did we agree on the tiles? 20? - No, 18.- 18.
0:19:31 > 0:19:3335 on the lot?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Is that the very best you can do? - Yes, it is.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40I think that's a good little bundle. Don't you?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44HE SIGHS
0:19:44 > 0:19:47All right, £30 and that's it. I can't do any more.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- Go on then.- £30.- 30.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54- Martha, the coffee pot's chipped! - Oh, no!- Yes.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58That's why it was priced cheap.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Do you see it there? - Yes, I can see it.
0:20:04 > 0:20:071960s... £22. Oh, no!
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- It's chipped.- I know, but you've knocked me so far down.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- It's priced accordingly. - It's chipped.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- I said 28 originally and you said no.- OK.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Do you want it for 28 then? - Yes, please.- Right!
0:20:19 > 0:20:22So he's got that coffee set for a tenner.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- There we are!- Thank you very much!
0:20:26 > 0:20:31Now, do go and rest that eye, David. The one that will shut.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Day two and our two travellers approach the end of their odyssey,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41one of them a little battered and bruised.
0:20:41 > 0:20:47- How's the big shiner, David? - Well, I tried to coordinate my jacket with it!
0:20:47 > 0:20:49That's the joy of green.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Yesterday, the Davids each bought three items,
0:20:51 > 0:20:55with David Harper spending £102.50 on a carved nut, a tea caddy
0:20:55 > 0:20:59and 15 engraving plates.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01It'll break my heart!
0:21:01 > 0:21:04While David Barby punched above his weight
0:21:04 > 0:21:08with £118 on a 1950s coffee set, some Art Nouveau tiles
0:21:08 > 0:21:10and an inkstand.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11I'm on my knees!
0:21:11 > 0:21:16They're heading for that auction in Llanelli, beginning in Brecon,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19where David Harper makes his way to the barracks
0:21:19 > 0:21:23to see the South Wales Borderers Museum.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Bill.- David. - David Harper. Nice to meet you.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31The regiment, which has been based in the town for over 120 years, has a fascinating history.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36But it will be forever associated with just one word - Zulu.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38This was the Anglo-Zulu War.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- My goodness me. There's some colour in here, isn't there?- It certainly is.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46The British invasion of Zululand in 1879
0:21:46 > 0:21:50would be forgotten today were it not the Battle of Rorke's Drift,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53where a tiny number of South Wales Borderers
0:21:53 > 0:21:57defended a mission station against massive Zulu forces.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01There's bravery all around here.
0:22:01 > 0:22:07I mean, thousands and thousands of Zulus fighting with the knobkerries and the shields.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- One or two rifles.- Yes. - But that's it.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13The British underestimated the bravery of the Zulu.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16They were the elite of the Zulu Army.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18They jogged 15 miles to Rorke's Drift,
0:22:18 > 0:22:22they swam the Buffalo River and then fought for eight hours.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23That's the mark of a Zulu.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28A much larger British force was defeated in the battle before Rorke's Drift,
0:22:28 > 0:22:32but as anyone who's seen the movie starring Michael Caine and Stanley Baker will know,
0:22:32 > 0:22:38it was the way the Welsh regiment bravely marshalled their resources that saved them.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41What I've got here, this is the Mark II Martini-Henry.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44This is a real one from the period of the Zulu War.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- I fixed a 22-inch bayonet on it. - Nice.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- The weight is about 8.5 pounds.- Yes.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54The thing you notice first is the long reach with the bayonet.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- It is a long reach.- Yes, absolutely. - Keep them at bay.
0:22:57 > 0:23:03- It's a single-shot weapon and it's cocked by pulling this handle down. - I know it.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- A single round goes into the breach.- Lock it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11You then pull the trigger and it fires. There is no safety catch.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15After eight hours of battle, the Zulu forces withdrew,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18honouring the Borderers in song.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22A record number of Victoria Crosses were awarded, with seven going to the 24th.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27Although those on show are copies, David Harper is about to have a treat.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29You are kidding, surely?
0:23:29 > 0:23:33These are two of the actual Victoria Crosses.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- Oh, no. Bill, please. - If I could ask you just to hold...
0:23:37 > 0:23:39That's Henry Hook's Victoria Cross.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- You're joking? - Which is the man on the right there.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47- Made famous in the film.- Indeed, by James Booth, who played him.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52And this is Bromhead's Victoria Cross,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- which is the Michael Caine character.- You are joking?
0:23:55 > 0:24:00You're probably looking at over one million pounds there, in terms of value.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03My goodness me! I've never handled anything
0:24:03 > 0:24:09- quite as emotional and powerful as two Victoria Crosses.- Indeed.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12My goodness me!
0:24:12 > 0:24:17It's an amazing, amazing feeling to hold those two.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Now, what about our own brave little soldier,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29forcing on...
0:24:29 > 0:24:30..blindly.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35- Hello.- Hello. - David Barby.- Tim Nelson.- Hello, Tim.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38David Barby has decided that as he's in Wales,
0:24:38 > 0:24:44and has spent more time there than anyone else this week in A&E, he's going to buy something Welsh.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- There's a little salt box. - That's nice. How much is that?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- Well, it's marked up at £120.- Ooh!
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- But I could do that for £90. - That's what I like to hear.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Was that made in Central Wales? - Probably Carmarthenshire.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04That would mount on the wall, preferably close to the fire,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06and the salt would go in there,
0:25:06 > 0:25:12and if you had a cauldron or a cooking range close to the fire, you'd take the salt out,
0:25:12 > 0:25:17put it in your cooking to flavour it and it would keep dry.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22The other thing I like, this little concession all the way along here, we call that chip carving.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I like that. I like that immensely.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- We're selling at... - Where are you going?- "Cllanelli".
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- TIM'S PRONUNCIATION: Cllanethli. - Is it... It's on the coast!- Yes.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Is it "Cllanethli"?- Cllanethli.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- That's a possibility. - Righto.- That's a possibility.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44- And what is that? Is that a chopping block?- I think it's a chopping block.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- That's not particularly old, is it? - I think it probably is, yes.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51It's got a nice iron bar band round it.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56I could do that for you for £90, that one.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00It's a chopping block of some description.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Can I just have a look underneath it? - Yes, of course.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09- And the legs look to be made of ash. The whole thing could be made of ash, couldn't it?- Yes.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Is that the very best you can do? What happens if I took two pieces?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I couldn't do a great deal. But, er...
0:26:16 > 0:26:20I'd do 160 for the two.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Right. What else have you got that is quirky?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Let's have a look. - You can have a look.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- I'm looking for that wow factor.- Yes.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- I like the stool, actually. - The stool's nice.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- What's the price on that?- That's 55.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Why 55?
0:26:39 > 0:26:44Why not? It just came into my head at the time!
0:26:44 > 0:26:47THEY LAUGH
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- I think that's quite high, actually. - Do you?- Yes.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- That's another possibility.- Yes?- Ohh!
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Once more around the block...
0:26:54 > 0:26:58It's such a weighty piece.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03That means if somebody sat at it, it's not going to move.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06And I love this sort of worn air,
0:27:06 > 0:27:11and you can see the chop marks all the way across the top where it's been used.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Right.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- Tim! Can you believe I've made up my mind?- Yes?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- I'm going for the salt box.- Yes. - And I'm going for the...
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- ..chopping block!- Righto.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- And that was at 160. - Yes. For the two, yes. Yes.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- I'm going to say something to you. - Yes?
0:27:31 > 0:27:36Could you just knock it down to 150? Please?
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- OK.- 150.- Yes.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45Thank you very much. I hope I made the right choice.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52So whilst one David staggers off, the other one nips in.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Now it's David Harper's turn to see what he can unearth.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Something stunning or sloppy seconds? We'll see.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- That carving on the wall... - That's sold.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04- Is it?- Mm.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10Then guess what. The shopkeeper says he has something David might be interested in.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Now then. That's Aesthetic Movement, isn't it?- Yes.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- Let me have a look at that material. - Could be a bit of mileage in that.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- That's original material, isn't it? - Yes.- That's a lovely thing.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26- So that is Japanese inspired. 1880? - Yes, probably.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- No marks on it.- No.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- Oh. There is something there, actually.- Is there?- Mm.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36- That's good. What kind of money? - £50.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37- Is it?- Yes.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- It couldn't be 30, Tim? - No. 50 is the absolute...
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- Is that the death?- It is.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- Did Barby look at this?- He did. - Did he really?- Yes.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49- What did he say about it? - He liked it very much.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Not enough to buy it, though.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- Just treat me a bit, Tim. Give me a chance.- 45.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00- 40, I'll have it. - No. I can't. 45, it's a deal.
0:29:00 > 0:29:06At this stage of the game, every fiver counts, I promise you.
0:29:06 > 0:29:12- Go on, then. 40 quid.- Good man! Top man! Thank you very much!
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Barby didn't spot these bottles, though.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- Are these Welsh?- Probably not, no.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21They're obviously just fruitwood, or...
0:29:21 > 0:29:26What's that there? It smells like an ointment Barby should put in his eye.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- It's TCP. - It does smell like that, doesn't it?
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- Does that say "chloroform"?- Yes. You could use that on him, as well.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- We could sedate him, couldn't we? - TIM LAUGHS
0:29:36 > 0:29:41I daren't smell that too much. I might faint!
0:29:41 > 0:29:47- Amazing. Where do these come from? - They came out of a house of a chap whose father was a country GP.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51They're lovely. What sort of money? Are they cheap?
0:29:51 > 0:29:57- It depends what you call cheap. - I call cheap very cheap. What do you call cheap?
0:29:57 > 0:30:01- I would want... How many is there? Six of them.- Yes.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03I would want £45.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- £45?- For the six.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09How about a fiver each? That's 30.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- TIM SIGHS - Ooh!
0:30:13 > 0:30:16I'll split the difference, but that would be the death on them. 35.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18- 35. I have to have them.- Righto.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Thank you very much. Marvellous. I absolutely love them.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Marvellous.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29So, just what bacon have they brought home from Brecon?
0:30:29 > 0:30:34The first object I bought was when we were at the same shop. Do you remember?
0:30:34 > 0:30:39- OK. So late Victorian, Edwardian maybe?- I think it's about 1880.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42I don't know if I should guess how much you paid,
0:30:42 > 0:30:45because sometimes I offend you, don't I?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- You tell me.- I paid £90. - I think it's quite good.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52I was going to say 100 quid and I thought you would get angry!
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Oh, that's nice. - David H's little treen item.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58It's one of these carved nuts. From Africa?
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- Well, it's a Brazil nut. Where do they come from?- Brazil!
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- OBJECT RATTLES - It's got a sound to it.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05It's tactile.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Do you think it might be a musical instrument?- It could be!
0:31:08 > 0:31:13- You do it so well! It's got to be. - It's got rhythm.- You've got rhythm. - Yes!
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- I like that.- It's a lovely, lovely...
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- How much did you pay, £10? - No, 20. I was pleased to pay 20.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21David Barby's favourites...
0:31:21 > 0:31:24This is your period, isn't it?
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Again, the Aesthetic Movement? - Art Nouveau.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Well, period. 1890.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- No, no, no. These are Art Nouveau. - That's 1890.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36You're looking at round about 1900 to 1905.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39They are of that period, you think, in style -
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- I think? I know. - OK, well, I'm happy for that.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44How much were they?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- How much would you pay for one?- Gosh!
0:31:46 > 0:31:52I know I can buy an Edwardian wash stand with the tiles for £30.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56So a couple of pounds apiece.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- I paid £3 each for the tiles. - All right.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- The fragrant tea caddy... - Oh, that is nice.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04It's a sweet little tea caddy.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- Oh, I like to see the individual boxes.- Yes.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Have a smell of that, David.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- Can you smell it?- Yes. Lapsang? - Ooh! It could well be.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- Oh, yes. How much did you pay for that? About £40?- Bang on. £45.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- I can see a profit in that. - A little -
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- I like that immensely.- Good.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25For those who prefer coffee...
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- Is it Midwinter? - Ah, very, very clever.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Very close.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Yes.- Meakin. - But you've got the same artist.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- Jessie Tait.- OK. OK. - She worked for Midwinter.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41Retro-chic vintage look is now, if you get the right market.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44But nobody uses coffee pots now!
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- But wouldn't coffee taste nicer if you did?- No.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50The blocks that broke Margaret's heart and nearly her foot...
0:32:50 > 0:32:54These are fascinating. Absolutely fascinating.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56How much did I pay? I got 15 of them.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59I would think that you paid probably £2-3 per...
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Yes! Absolutely. So frustrating! Right in the middle. £2.50.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05What will David H make of this?
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- That's quite sweet, isn't it? Is it a salt box?- Yes.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- Er, Welsh?- Yes.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16- That's the thing, isn't it? - It's an indigenous Welsh piece.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- I like it.- What I like about it
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- is this chip carving all the way round.- Very much.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26And that is unusual to find, except on Welsh furniture.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28It's not a cheap item. Go on, tell me.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- I paid under £100 for it. - That's good.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- I paid 75.- That's very good. It's a very lovely thing.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38- That's your nicest item.- Careful, David. It's an antique, you know?
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Ahh! Oh, that's nice. - Isn't that lovely? Have a smell.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Put that on your eye, it might improve it.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48This is the best. The nicest colour, the nicest bottle shape.
0:33:48 > 0:33:54- That is lovely. - It is absolutely gorgeous. And on the interior, look at that.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Oh, that's what you expect to find.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00It's just... I love it. I truly love it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01- Can I look?- Yes.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06- OK, David, feast your eyes... - Ooh, I say!
0:34:06 > 0:34:07I thought this was you.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Feel the weight.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14- Wow. It's a baby, that, isn't it? - It's ash.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17This would've had a padded leather section,
0:34:17 > 0:34:22- which would be retained by a band. - There is evidence of nails there.
0:34:22 > 0:34:27And it would've been used for tin or for pewter.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31Now, what will David make of the stool that he turned down?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Lovely.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37I saw that original material, from 1870/80,
0:34:37 > 0:34:41and I thought, "David Barby. Aesthetic Movement."
0:34:41 > 0:34:45It's so you, I can't believe that you didn't buy it!
0:34:45 > 0:34:48David, I think you've got your killer diller.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51It could be the killer diller. How much did I pay for it?
0:34:51 > 0:34:56- I think you paid 50. - I paid 40. He was sticking on 50 and I got it for 40.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59That's an absolutely delicious thing and I love it!
0:34:59 > 0:35:02The highlight was the stool.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07It was the one that I rejected and I'm wondering whether I've made the right choice.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10He fancies that in a big way and, I've got to say,
0:35:10 > 0:35:12that thing really could fly.
0:35:12 > 0:35:17It is absolutely just right. I love it to death!
0:35:17 > 0:35:20I wish I'd have bought it now. What have I done?
0:35:22 > 0:35:25After starting out in England at Hereford,
0:35:25 > 0:35:28the final leg of our road trip will be decided in Wales
0:35:28 > 0:35:30at Llanelli.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- I hope you fare well. - How are you feeling?
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- Apprehensive.- Happy?
0:35:39 > 0:35:44- I'm always happy with you. - I'm always happy with you. That's why I feel slightly sad.- Why?
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Sad that our journey is coming to an end.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- This is it!- I feel that.- The finale.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55- I'm going to miss you. - I shall miss you, as well. Waking up to breakfast with you...
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- It's marvellous.- Evening meal... BOTH: Yes.
0:35:58 > 0:36:04David Harper has spent £177.50 on five lots.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- Take my money.- I can't!
0:36:06 > 0:36:11David Barby, also with five lots, has spent £268.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- You're a hard woman! - You're a pretty hard man!- Ooh!
0:36:14 > 0:36:17So while the Llanelli crowds gather,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20let's find out what auctioneer Andrew Williams thinks.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23The salt box should do well, also the work block.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28It's a really nice colour and it's an unusual piece. Those'll be the two best items.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32The least favourite, I suppose it would be the engraving plates.
0:36:32 > 0:36:37David Barby's items will stand the best chance of reaching the highest prices.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39They're slightly more unusual.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43Now, come on, Davids. Just £13 between them.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47I feel more nervous today than any of our previous auctions.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51I think because this is it... Here we go. You're on.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56What will they think of David Barby's proper Welsh antique?
0:36:56 > 0:36:59At 50 for the salt box. At 50. £50.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- It should make a bit more.- 55. 60?
0:37:01 > 0:37:04At 60. And five.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- 70.- Ooh.- At £70. And five?
0:37:08 > 0:37:12All done, then, at £70? 70.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15An even bigger loss after commission.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17It's not the end of the world.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Now the David Harper medicine collection.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25£20. At 20. Five. At 25. 30. Five.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35- At £45.- Get in!
0:37:35 > 0:37:38The hard bargaining pays off.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41£10, minus commission. So it's a tiny profit.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Vintage coffee set, anyone?
0:37:44 > 0:37:48At 10. Pretty coffee set at 10. £10. 15.
0:37:48 > 0:37:53At 15. 20? At 20 for the coffee set.

0:37:57 > 0:37:5820.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Twice what David B paid.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- I'm quite pleased about that.- Good.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09David Harper's treen now. Nutty or nice?

0:38:17 > 0:38:20Is it 30 now? At £25.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- Oh, God!- You've made a profit. - A tiny profit!
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Tinier still after commission.

0:38:50 > 0:38:51210.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55Those tiles have put David Barby back into the lead.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Well done! Well done!
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- What did you pay for those?- Er, 18.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Good margin!

0:39:21 > 0:39:23How much did you pay for it?
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- Was it 40?- 45, actually, David.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06- Will these make an impression?! - 10, I'm bid. Back of the room.

0:41:23 > 0:41:27Well played, David Barby, the victor this week.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30How sweet!
0:41:33 > 0:41:37David Harper started this round with £668.64
0:41:37 > 0:41:42and made a loss of £46.30 after auction costs,
0:41:42 > 0:41:46leaving him with £622.34.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50While David Barby began with £655.59
0:41:50 > 0:41:55and made a profit of £51.80 after action costs.
0:41:55 > 0:42:01He's finished with a grand total of £707.39.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Somebody had to win. It's a nice change for it to be me and not you!
0:42:05 > 0:42:07I'm not bothered.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11It's been the most wonderful, magical journey. It really has.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14- It has for me. And to celebrate, I've got something fizzy.- Whay-hey!
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Disgusting! And so concludes the tale of two Davids!
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Only one winner. No, of course not!
0:42:20 > 0:42:22- They're both champs!- Come on, baby!
0:42:22 > 0:42:24# And here we are
0:42:24 > 0:42:27# We're the princes of the universe
0:42:27 > 0:42:30# Here we belong
0:42:30 > 0:42:34- # Fighting for survival!- Ohh!
0:42:34 > 0:42:37# We've come to be The rulers of you all... #
0:42:37 > 0:42:39- Is that for sale?- No.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Another satisfied customer!
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- David, you are- the- champion and you're my hero.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Ohh! Sounds like a cue for a song!
0:42:52 > 0:42:55MUSIC: "Me and My Chauffeur Blues" by Memphis Minnie
0:42:55 > 0:42:58The wind is in your hair! Look at that!
0:42:58 > 0:43:00# Wants to see my chauffeur
0:43:00 > 0:43:03# Wants to see my chauffeur
0:43:03 > 0:43:07# I wants him to drive me
0:43:07 > 0:43:10# I wants him to drive me downtown...
0:43:10 > 0:43:13Ooh, David, you're getting all fired up here!
0:43:13 > 0:43:16- I'm doing 15 miles an hour. - Come on, baby!
0:43:16 > 0:43:18# Since he drives so easy...
0:43:18 > 0:43:19One last time, eh?
0:43:19 > 0:43:23Yes! I want to hear that throbbing engine for the last time!
0:43:23 > 0:43:27- Hold on, Barby!- Yes!
