0:47:50 > 0:47:57.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06'The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each and one big challenge...'
0:48:06 > 0:48:07I'm going to declare war.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Why?
0:48:09 > 0:48:13'Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?'
0:48:13 > 0:48:15- 15 quid?- No!
0:48:15 > 0:48:19'The aim is to trade up and hope each antique turns a profit,
0:48:19 > 0:48:25- 'but it's not as easy as you might think, and things don't always go to plan.'- Push!
0:48:25 > 0:48:29- 'So will they race off with a huge profit or come to a grinding halt?' - I'm going to go for it.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31'This is The Antiques Road Trip.'
0:48:37 > 0:48:41This week, Mark Stacey and Anita Manning have travelled through Scotland
0:48:41 > 0:48:44to the picturesque north-east of England.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47Oh, look at this, Anita. This looks very pretty.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49# Summer breeze
0:48:49 > 0:48:53# Makes me feel fine
0:48:53 > 0:48:59# Blowing through the jasmine in my mind... #
0:49:01 > 0:49:06- The sun is shining for us.- The sun is shining, and the sun you know, Anita, only shines on the righteous.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08That counts you out, then, Mark.
0:49:08 > 0:49:12- Mark, of course, is a valuer and dealer.- What do you think? Is it me?
0:49:12 > 0:49:18Oh, I don't know. Mark's penchant for a cheeky question sometimes just goes too far.
0:49:18 > 0:49:24- I'm going to ask you a little sneaky favour.- What's that?- Could I just touch it?- See what I mean?
0:49:24 > 0:49:28While Anita, an auctioneer-ess, is a woman who takes no prisoners.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31Tell me your minimum. No, you tell me...
0:49:31 > 0:49:33No, tell me your minimum.
0:49:33 > 0:49:34See what I mean again?
0:49:34 > 0:49:40They began the week with £200 each, and both have already more than doubled their money.
0:49:40 > 0:49:46Mark starts today with £684.86 to spend,
0:49:46 > 0:49:52while Anita is trailing with a still-impressive £458.74.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54But she's not giving up. Oh, no!
0:49:56 > 0:49:59The game isn't over until the fat lady sings.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02I hope you're not talking about me!
0:50:02 > 0:50:04Well, you did ask the question.
0:50:04 > 0:50:08This week, they're travelling from deep in the Cairngorms
0:50:08 > 0:50:13via the ancient charms of Edinburgh and Durham to North Yorkshire.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15Today's show sees them arrive in Richmond
0:50:15 > 0:50:18and work their way through North Yorkshire
0:50:18 > 0:50:21to their final auction of the week in Huby,
0:50:21 > 0:50:23just north of York.
0:50:24 > 0:50:28This is Richmond, a town that is nearly 1,000 years old.
0:50:28 > 0:50:33It has one of the largest cobbled marketplaces in England,
0:50:33 > 0:50:38and a castle built by a loyal follower of old "Willie the Conk".
0:50:38 > 0:50:40Let today's battle commence.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Well, Anita, here we are...
0:50:43 > 0:50:45the first of our buying trips.
0:50:45 > 0:50:49My last chance to make up that 200 quid with you.
0:50:49 > 0:50:54- It's a big ask, Anita, but you're going to spend all your money, are you?- Everything, every single cent.
0:50:54 > 0:50:58- Every penny?- Every penny.- Do I believe that?- I want to go for it.
0:50:58 > 0:51:02- I want to go for gold.- I think you're going for gold that way, and I'm going downhill.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05Oh, well. Maybe that's the way for you.
0:51:05 > 0:51:06HE LAUGHS
0:51:06 > 0:51:11Anita's first stop is at Richmond Antiques. "Good moaning!"
0:51:11 > 0:51:15- Good morning.- Good morning. Can I have a wee look around?- Yeah.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19Well, it looks promising to me -
0:51:19 > 0:51:23the kind of shop where you just know a priceless relic
0:51:23 > 0:51:29- will be lurking in a lost corner, like the 83-year-old owner Harry. - TIM GIGGLES
0:51:29 > 0:51:31Of the items actually for sale, though,
0:51:31 > 0:51:34the first to catch Anita's eye is this oddity.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36Is it a stool or is it a...stool?
0:51:36 > 0:51:39This has probably started its life off as a chair.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42Someone at some point in its history
0:51:42 > 0:51:47has taken the back off and it now exists as a stool.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50It's quite nice, Victorian.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52Look at these wonderful legs...
0:51:52 > 0:51:55with original castors on here.
0:51:55 > 0:51:59It's got no price on it, it was tucked away in a corner,
0:51:59 > 0:52:02and I quite fancy it. Harry?
0:52:02 > 0:52:05See because it's only a bit of something
0:52:05 > 0:52:09and the upholstery is not good, it's all falling apart,
0:52:09 > 0:52:14are you able to give that to me for a knock-down price? A tenner on that?
0:52:14 > 0:52:18- Aye, put a tenner on it. - A tenner on it?- Tenner.- Yeah.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20Huh! The stool could be a steal!
0:52:20 > 0:52:24As Anita scours the shop for yet more bargains,
0:52:24 > 0:52:27Mark is heading into York House Antiques.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30Gosh! This is rather full-on, isn't it?
0:52:30 > 0:52:34The right place for you to splash your cash, then, Mark.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38We'll really have to hunt for any bargains here.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Well, get on with it, then.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42But do watch out for Sooty.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45It has got a label inside. Yes, it says -
0:52:45 > 0:52:49I think it says Stradivarius, but I've a feeling it won't be
0:52:49 > 0:52:54Antonius Stradivarius because it would be quite a valuable piece if it was.
0:52:54 > 0:52:59Oh, do stop fiddling with your fiddle, Mark. Get shopping, mate!
0:52:59 > 0:53:01Anita, time to bring out the big guns.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04Probably ornaments for the side of your fire
0:53:04 > 0:53:07or they might be for holding pokers.
0:53:07 > 0:53:11That wasn't quite what I had in mind. Carry on, though.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15If I buy these, would it blast me into profit?
0:53:15 > 0:53:18Listen, you leave the jokes to me.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20- Harry?- Yeah? - Do you think they're fun?
0:53:20 > 0:53:22They're rubbish.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24They're rubbish! SHE LAUGHS
0:53:24 > 0:53:27Harry says they're rubbish!
0:53:27 > 0:53:30Maybe from the 1940s?
0:53:30 > 0:53:33They've maybe been there since 1940, I don't know.
0:53:33 > 0:53:36I don't think they're things of any great quality,
0:53:36 > 0:53:41and you've told me that. I mean, you've told me that they are rubbish.
0:53:41 > 0:53:44- They're very nice.- They're nice rubbish?- Oh, without a doubt.
0:53:44 > 0:53:46If you've got them on your fireplace,
0:53:46 > 0:53:49people will want to buy them off you.
0:53:49 > 0:53:53There's some very, very good-quality cobwebs on these as well.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56It takes me ages to get them cobwebs on, you see.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58If you wipe the cobwebs off,
0:53:58 > 0:54:02they think they're reproduction, don't they? So I just leave them on.
0:54:02 > 0:54:05- I've trained the spiders to do that. - SHE LAUGHS
0:54:05 > 0:54:12Well, it'll be the cost of training the spiders that justifies the £10 price on these quality items.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15Come along now, Anita. Have a wee haggle.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19Harry, could you sell me this pair of mad cannons for a fiver?
0:54:19 > 0:54:23- You're such a nice lady, you can have them for a fiver, dear. - You are a darling.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26I'll suffer for the loss, you know.
0:54:26 > 0:54:30When I tell my little kids I haven't made a profit today,
0:54:30 > 0:54:33- they'll all start weeping. - HE LAUGHS
0:54:33 > 0:54:36I think I'm going to have to seal this deal with a kiss. All right?
0:54:36 > 0:54:38Without a doubt, dear.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41I tell you what...
0:54:41 > 0:54:44Oh, look at that. By 'eck!
0:54:44 > 0:54:47Well, you've made HIS day anyway, Anita.
0:54:47 > 0:54:52Now calm yourself, comb up and concentrate.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54What about these glasses?
0:54:55 > 0:54:57I quite like them.
0:54:57 > 0:55:01They are copies of earlier glasses, continental.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04They have a nice little bit of etching here
0:55:04 > 0:55:07and they are very pretty.
0:55:07 > 0:55:11They don't appear to have a price on them. Time to talk to Harry.
0:55:11 > 0:55:14I don't think that they're terribly, terribly old,
0:55:14 > 0:55:18but I think a nice set of glasses might be desirable.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21- Start at 10 and argue? - £10 for the set?
0:55:21 > 0:55:24I got you down a wee bit on these, but I think...
0:55:24 > 0:55:31- I'm quite happy to pay that 10 on those. £15, Harry. - Yes, dear, thank you very much.
0:55:31 > 0:55:34- Thank you very much. - That's got me off the breadline! - SHE LAUGHS
0:55:34 > 0:55:39Nothing funny about that. 25 in total, including the old stool.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42Hello! Mark's heard the rustle of money being spent
0:55:42 > 0:55:45and is heading in Harry and Anita's direction.
0:55:45 > 0:55:49- I'm sure you've found all the bargains.- Oh, this is... - How are you doing?
0:55:49 > 0:55:53- It's absolutely lovely and Harry is wonderful.- Is he?- Uh-huh.
0:55:53 > 0:55:58- So shall I leave you to it, or do you want me to point you in the right direction?- No, you go off.
0:55:58 > 0:56:01- You go off and have a little sit-down.- OK. Happy hunting.- Thank you.
0:56:01 > 0:56:03- See you later.- Bye.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07Now, sorry to disappoint you, Mark old fruit,
0:56:07 > 0:56:09but the cannons have already been sold.
0:56:09 > 0:56:13On the other hand, Harry's out of his closet!
0:56:13 > 0:56:16No flush. That must be a good sign.
0:56:16 > 0:56:20There's quite a nice mixture of pieces in here, isn't there?
0:56:20 > 0:56:22This is quite fun. This is a sort of,
0:56:22 > 0:56:27you know, for your hallway, for putting your coats on.
0:56:27 > 0:56:32You hang your coats on here and then you could have you favourite vase or something there.
0:56:32 > 0:56:38It's not terribly old - carved eagle, but he's got rather a cheeky face and I like his glass eye.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41That's quite a nice object, actually, if the price is right.
0:56:41 > 0:56:44Harry, I think that's quite a fun piece, isn't it?
0:56:44 > 0:56:48It's not an antique one, but it's quite a decorative piece, isn't it?
0:56:48 > 0:56:52- Oh, yeah. If you like it.- I quite like it, with the little eye there. That's quite nice.
0:56:52 > 0:56:57- What price have you got on that?- £20.- £20.
0:56:57 > 0:56:58I have to ask, I suppose.
0:56:58 > 0:57:01It's quite reasonable enough as it is,
0:57:01 > 0:57:04but could you do anything on that?
0:57:04 > 0:57:07- Are you poor?- Very poor. - MARK LAUGHS
0:57:07 > 0:57:09- 15, me lowest.- 15?
0:57:09 > 0:57:12Yeah, I think I'm going to take that for £15.
0:57:12 > 0:57:14I think that's quite reasonable.
0:57:14 > 0:57:16That's Harry's fourth sale of the day!
0:57:16 > 0:57:21But it seems this place may yet yield even more bargains.
0:57:21 > 0:57:22That's quite interesting.
0:57:22 > 0:57:26Now, I've found down here this rather intriguing vase
0:57:26 > 0:57:29which I think would've had a lid on it originally.
0:57:29 > 0:57:34But it's rather fun with these sort of grotesques on the side of it.
0:57:34 > 0:57:37And I love the Chinese panels on it.
0:57:37 > 0:57:40It's got the odd little chip and things there.
0:57:40 > 0:57:43Priced up at £25.
0:57:43 > 0:57:44Mind you, I can see...
0:57:44 > 0:57:48Yes, the other big thing is the heads are missing.
0:57:48 > 0:57:51These should have little sort of lizards' heads or dragons' heads on,
0:57:51 > 0:57:53and they're missing.
0:57:53 > 0:57:57But it's a heck of a lump for 25 quid, isn't it?
0:57:57 > 0:58:01I have seen a couple of things in the other room, Harry.
0:58:01 > 0:58:04One of them is the oriental-type piece, pottery,
0:58:04 > 0:58:06but it's got the heads missing from it.
0:58:06 > 0:58:08You've got 25 on it.
0:58:08 > 0:58:10I quite like it, but it's missing its cover
0:58:10 > 0:58:13and it's got quite a lot of damage on it.
0:58:13 > 0:58:16It'd be worth a fortune, would that?
0:58:16 > 0:58:18It would be with the cover and things, wouldn't it?
0:58:19 > 0:58:21Go to 20.
0:58:21 > 0:58:23Quite interested in it but it is damaged.
0:58:23 > 0:58:26Could you do anything on that?
0:58:26 > 0:58:28- 15.- OK, lovely. Thank you very much.
0:58:28 > 0:58:32- That's it. I'll go home broke now. - MARK LAUGHS
0:58:32 > 0:58:35You don't look broke to me, Harry.
0:58:35 > 0:58:38Still, five items sold, Harry...
0:58:38 > 0:58:41- Lovely to meet you. - Cheers.- Bye.
0:58:41 > 0:58:44So, a great start to the day, but Anita knows she has
0:58:44 > 0:58:48a lot of catching up to do at the final auction and she wants details.
0:58:48 > 0:58:50So, did you buy something off Harry?
0:58:50 > 0:58:52No, you got all the bargains, Anita.
0:58:52 > 0:58:56- What did you buy?- No comment. - What did you buy?- Stop tickling me!
0:58:56 > 0:58:59- Did you find any silver?- No comment.
0:58:59 > 0:59:01- Did you buy a picture?- No comment.
0:59:01 > 0:59:03Did you spend over £10?
0:59:03 > 0:59:04Oh, look! Trees.
0:59:06 > 0:59:09Are we nearly there yet, Mum? Fortunately for Mark,
0:59:09 > 0:59:13it's just an eight-mile drive from Richmond to Scorton,
0:59:13 > 0:59:15and the peace and quiet of Kiplin Hall.
0:59:15 > 0:59:19Well, I'm running a bit late with all your falderalling about.
0:59:19 > 0:59:23- OK, well, I've leave you to it, then. Bye, Anita.- OK, bye-bye.- Bye.
0:59:25 > 0:59:29Kiplin Hall was built in the 1620s
0:59:29 > 0:59:34by George Calvert, Secretary of State to King James I.
0:59:35 > 0:59:38Over the years, the families that have owned the house
0:59:38 > 0:59:42have filled it with some spectacular furniture and works of art.
0:59:42 > 0:59:45- Hello.- You must be Dawn. - Ah, yes. Nice to meet you, Mark.
0:59:47 > 0:59:51Mark is shown round the hall by the curator Dawn Webster.
0:59:51 > 0:59:56She has picked out some of the finest pieces in the house to show Mark.
0:59:56 > 0:59:59We're up on the second floor now, but this you have to see.
1:00:01 > 1:00:04First, a painting of Venice
1:00:04 > 1:00:07commissioned by Kiplin Hall's 18th-century owners.
1:00:07 > 1:00:09This is St Marks' Square during carnival
1:00:09 > 1:00:12and you can see the carnival masks.
1:00:12 > 1:00:15It's by Luca Carlevaris who was one of Canaletto's predecessors
1:00:15 > 1:00:20and fantastic for painting people, figures, faces, dogs.
1:00:20 > 1:00:26Canaletto was mostly architecture in his paintings. Carlevaris filled his architectural spaces
1:00:26 > 1:00:30with people, and it's the most exquisite jewel-like painting.
1:00:30 > 1:00:34I do love the fact that the people look so identifiable.
1:00:34 > 1:00:36It doesn't look like made-up people.
1:00:36 > 1:00:41This lady with her fan. I'm not sure whether she's saying, "I love you," or, "My husband is away.
1:00:41 > 1:00:44"Come up and see me later tonight." The language of fans.
1:00:44 > 1:00:48Oh, I think it might be Anita Manning making sure I'm not getting any bargains.
1:00:48 > 1:00:50Maybe it is! How did she get in there?
1:00:50 > 1:00:53- Oh, she's been around a long time.- Huh!
1:00:53 > 1:00:55Next, to the library and a relic
1:00:55 > 1:00:59from one of the country's most famous battleships.
1:01:02 > 1:01:05And here I've something very special to show you, Mark.
1:01:05 > 1:01:09This is Lord Nelson's chair from on-board Victory and it has a silver plaque to prove it.
1:01:09 > 1:01:13I think it's wonderful. Very typical of that period with those scrolling arms
1:01:13 > 1:01:16and those sabre legs at the front, isn't it?
1:01:16 > 1:01:21- Also, I can see there's something rather nice about this chair, isn't there?- It's metamorphic.
1:01:21 > 1:01:24That's one of my favourite antique terms - metamorphic.
1:01:24 > 1:01:26Cos it's like a caterpillar, really.
1:01:26 > 1:01:29It changes into an even more beautiful butterfly.
1:01:29 > 1:01:32- These tip up, don't they? - That's right.
1:01:32 > 1:01:35And then you'd have library steps so you could reach the book,
1:01:35 > 1:01:38bring it down, put it back and sit there and read your book.
1:01:38 > 1:01:42Yes. And I'm told that the cabin on board Victory had a very low ceiling,
1:01:42 > 1:01:46so exactly why he needed a metamorphic chair for his cabin, I have no idea.
1:01:46 > 1:01:50- But there it is, all part of history.- Absolutely. Part of Kiplin's history as well.
1:01:50 > 1:01:53Now part of Kiplin Hall's history. Wonderful.
1:01:53 > 1:01:56And so Mark ends his visit to Kiplin Hall,
1:01:56 > 1:01:59bringing us to the end of an exceedingly good day.
1:02:06 > 1:02:10Day two, and both our experts are looking, and feeling, a bit flush.
1:02:10 > 1:02:15Our very, very last day of shopping together.
1:02:15 > 1:02:18I can't believe it, can you? I feel very confident, Anita.
1:02:18 > 1:02:21I've got lots of money burning a hole in my pocket.
1:02:21 > 1:02:24I want to get out there and spend, spend, spend.
1:02:24 > 1:02:26Great. Mark has a wallet burning
1:02:26 > 1:02:30with £650 in his pocket,
1:02:30 > 1:02:34having spent a miserly £30 on two items on the first day.
1:02:34 > 1:02:36- I'll go home broke now. - MARK LAUGHS
1:02:36 > 1:02:39Anita has spent £25 on three items,
1:02:39 > 1:02:43including £5 on a pair of fireside cannons,
1:02:43 > 1:02:46and has over £400 in her armoury.
1:02:46 > 1:02:50Right now, she's £200 behind Mark.
1:02:50 > 1:02:55Maybe today will be the day she gets lucky and catches him up?
1:02:55 > 1:02:57Bye-bye, Harry, and thank you again.
1:02:57 > 1:02:59Today's journey sees them leave Richmond
1:02:59 > 1:03:01and head for Huby near York.
1:03:01 > 1:03:03Mark's first stop is Masham
1:03:03 > 1:03:06but first, Anita gets dropped off for her shopping in Middleham.
1:03:08 > 1:03:14Middleham has sat on this spot in Wensleydale since Roman times.
1:03:14 > 1:03:18Its 12th-century castle was home to Richard III
1:03:18 > 1:03:22and the royal, loyal and ancient township of Middleham
1:03:22 > 1:03:24was once the heart of English life.
1:03:24 > 1:03:29Ah, wonderful, wonderful. Have a good time and shop well.
1:03:29 > 1:03:32- And you too, Anita. See you later.- OK.
1:03:34 > 1:03:37Mark heads nine miles down the road to Masham.
1:03:39 > 1:03:41Do you know what's really nice? Being in the car on my own.
1:03:41 > 1:03:44The wind in my hair, the sun shining
1:03:44 > 1:03:49and no Anita going on and on and on about the "burdies"
1:03:49 > 1:03:52and the trees and how WONDERFUL everything is.
1:03:54 > 1:03:58Ho-ho! Despite his big lead, he's still a worried man.
1:03:58 > 1:04:01If I buy the wrong thing that makes a big loss,
1:04:01 > 1:04:03it's all over.
1:04:03 > 1:04:05It's called paranoia.
1:04:05 > 1:04:09Anita is in the kind of shop she loves, stuffed to the gunnels with
1:04:09 > 1:04:14who knows what, and it's not long before something catches her eye.
1:04:15 > 1:04:19This is an interesting little album.
1:04:19 > 1:04:24We have several of these embroidered postcards
1:04:24 > 1:04:28which are, in the main, from the First World War.
1:04:28 > 1:04:31And it was the type of things that soldiers would send their wives.
1:04:31 > 1:04:36And this one is from someone who was in the Royal Engineers.
1:04:36 > 1:04:43"With love from yours." It's from Willie, and this was sent in 1916,
1:04:43 > 1:04:47just right in the middle of the First World War. "Good luck, your loving brother."
1:04:47 > 1:04:50Postcard collecting is very popular just now.
1:04:50 > 1:04:53It's looking back, it's nostalgia,
1:04:53 > 1:04:57it's seeing what the world was like at that time.
1:04:57 > 1:04:59Very moving...
1:04:59 > 1:05:01but not rare. Indeed, it's estimated that
1:05:01 > 1:05:04over 10 million were made during the First World War.
1:05:05 > 1:05:08This isn't going to make me a fortune if I buy this,
1:05:08 > 1:05:11whatever the price, but it's so irresistible!
1:05:11 > 1:05:15Mark has arrived at Aura Antiques in Masham.
1:05:15 > 1:05:19It sells mainly large items, but in amongst those
1:05:19 > 1:05:21there's some quirky little things
1:05:21 > 1:05:24that might just make Mark a few quid.
1:05:24 > 1:05:26That's quite an interesting jug, isn't it?
1:05:26 > 1:05:29It's very brightly decorated. It looks almost modern, doesn't it?
1:05:29 > 1:05:32It's a nice thing. I think, looking at the mark,
1:05:32 > 1:05:36this is going to be dating to around about
1:05:36 > 1:05:391860, 1870, so a true antique.
1:05:39 > 1:05:41I quite like it with Newton on it.
1:05:41 > 1:05:43I've never seen that before.
1:05:43 > 1:05:46And that's priced up at £25.
1:05:49 > 1:05:54Just checking. It's a very good way of checking for restoration
1:05:54 > 1:05:59because it feels very soft to your teeth,
1:05:59 > 1:06:03whereas, if it's perfect, it feels quite hard and brittle.
1:06:03 > 1:06:06I might ask Robert about that,
1:06:06 > 1:06:08see if we can get it a little bit lower.
1:06:09 > 1:06:13Back in Middleham, shop owner Angela pulls out
1:06:13 > 1:06:15something from her secret stash. Steady!
1:06:15 > 1:06:18- I've got some more postcards. - Ah, right!
1:06:18 > 1:06:20Mostly Raphael Tuck.
1:06:20 > 1:06:24As most deltiologists, or postcard collectors, will know,
1:06:24 > 1:06:30Raphael Tuck and Sons were publishers to royalty in the 18th and 19th centuries,
1:06:30 > 1:06:33and by the First World War they dominated the postcard market.
1:06:33 > 1:06:37These two albums won't come cheap, but you just try telling Anita that.
1:06:39 > 1:06:43You want a price? Off the top of my head, I'm looking...
1:06:43 > 1:06:47Yes, I know, I know. I would be talking 100 for the two.
1:06:47 > 1:06:49And that is really...
1:06:49 > 1:06:51cos, you know, they are quite rare.
1:06:51 > 1:06:53I'll tell you what my estimate would be on it.
1:06:53 > 1:06:56If that was coming in,
1:06:56 > 1:07:00I would be estimating it somewhere between 60 and 80.
1:07:00 > 1:07:04Would you be able to come any nearer to these figures for me?
1:07:04 > 1:07:07Simply because I've fallen...
1:07:07 > 1:07:10Simply because I've fallen in love with them.
1:07:10 > 1:07:12Yeah. 85.
1:07:12 > 1:07:16- Really. Cos it's tearing my heart out letting them go. - Could you come to 75?
1:07:16 > 1:07:1980. 80.
1:07:19 > 1:07:23Could you go to 75? Oh, go on!
1:07:23 > 1:07:2675! It'll give me a chance!
1:07:26 > 1:07:2875, I'd be happy.
1:07:28 > 1:07:31- Go on, then.- Oh, you're a darling!
1:07:31 > 1:07:33So Anita has her postcards.
1:07:33 > 1:07:36I just love them. I love them.
1:07:36 > 1:07:38So do I!
1:07:38 > 1:07:43Crikey. But has Mark found anything to write home about?
1:07:43 > 1:07:45It's a bit of a wibbly-wobbly, as Anita would call it.
1:07:45 > 1:07:48But actually it's quite a fun shape.
1:07:48 > 1:07:52It's got a nasty split in the top there and some of the little
1:07:52 > 1:07:55cabochons are missing.
1:07:55 > 1:07:56I like this little decoration there.
1:07:56 > 1:07:58It's got a very sort of odd feel to it.
1:07:58 > 1:08:02Now, maybe it's just up here because it's going to be restored.
1:08:02 > 1:08:05I might ask and see how much it is. Might be bargain price.
1:08:05 > 1:08:09So far, Anita has bought two cannons, eight glasses,
1:08:09 > 1:08:13two postcards albums and a stool. Huh!
1:08:13 > 1:08:16But still she keeps on shopping.
1:08:17 > 1:08:20I want to have a look at the jewellery now.
1:08:20 > 1:08:25And sometimes it's the wee unusual pieces that I find most attractive.
1:08:25 > 1:08:30What we have here is a wee sort of mixture that I've separated out.
1:08:30 > 1:08:35There is nothing there of any great significance, and you probably know that yourself.
1:08:35 > 1:08:39I'm going to make you an offer on this stuff and you can say yay or nay.
1:08:39 > 1:08:43What I'd be prepared to pay on that would be £8.
1:08:43 > 1:08:47Oh, no, I need more. I need more than that. I would want at least 25. At least.
1:08:47 > 1:08:50- 25?- Yeah.
1:08:50 > 1:08:53Mark is also ready to start dealing.
1:08:53 > 1:08:56But it's certainly got an interesting appeal.
1:08:56 > 1:09:00Although shop-owner Robert seems happy to do most of the work.
1:09:00 > 1:09:06So you really don't have any idea in your mind what you'd like to get for it.
1:09:06 > 1:09:09If you offered me a tenner, I'd take it.
1:09:09 > 1:09:13I'll give you a tenner for it. Done.
1:09:13 > 1:09:19Mark, you're such a thoroughbred. But now Anita has to get involved in some real horse-trading.
1:09:21 > 1:09:25- Angela, you are going to think that I am mad.- Yeah.
1:09:25 > 1:09:28I bought a pair of cannons...
1:09:28 > 1:09:32- Like that?- Uh-huh, and I thought it would be quite fun...
1:09:32 > 1:09:34- Mmm, to put them together. - To put them together.
1:09:34 > 1:09:38What about if I paid £25 for that and that?
1:09:38 > 1:09:42- I could do that and it would give me a bit of fun with him.- I know, yes.
1:09:42 > 1:09:45- Go on, then.- Will you do 25?
1:09:45 > 1:09:47It's a pleasure to do business with you.
1:09:47 > 1:09:52Back in Masham, a mysterious force...
1:09:52 > 1:09:57Could it be gravity? ..is pulling Mark back to the Isaac Newton jug.
1:09:57 > 1:10:01I rather was taken with this little water jug
1:10:01 > 1:10:06and I rather liked the fact that this was Newton, which I presume is Isaac Newton.
1:10:06 > 1:10:10- Must be.- Must be. I don't think that's Mrs Newton, though, somehow.
1:10:10 > 1:10:11I know it's cheeky of me,
1:10:11 > 1:10:15cos you haven't priced it very highly, but is there anything you could do on 25?
1:10:15 > 1:10:18Yes, yes. Yes, I can.
1:10:20 > 1:10:23- £15.- I can't really say no to £15, Robert.
1:10:23 > 1:10:28- That's what I thought you'd say. - I really like that. Thanks a lot. I appreciate that.- Thank you.
1:10:28 > 1:10:31Well, there we are, another purchase. I love it.
1:10:33 > 1:10:37Anita's bought enough items to start her own shop!
1:10:37 > 1:10:39OK? That's been a pleasure.
1:10:39 > 1:10:44But she can't stop hunting for one last item, bless her.
1:10:44 > 1:10:46Yeah, well, it's horse-measuring stick
1:10:46 > 1:10:49but it's in the form of a walking stick.
1:10:49 > 1:10:52Silver topped, Boyce and Rogers, Newmarket,
1:10:52 > 1:10:55so it's very important because probably used in the racing industry.
1:10:55 > 1:10:59- So I would think it's a special gift to a vet or a trainer even.- Yeah.
1:10:59 > 1:11:05- And it's got...- So what we do is we pull out the measuring stick from the body of the stick
1:11:05 > 1:11:12and we can pull out this bar, this brass bar here, and this brass bar would be?
1:11:12 > 1:11:17It goes over the withers and that's the point where they measure the horse.
1:11:17 > 1:11:22Wee Angela is looking for £80 for this late 19th-century silver-topped measuring stick.
1:11:22 > 1:11:25I think we're in a horsey part of the country, aren't we?
1:11:25 > 1:11:30Oh, yeah. Well, it's countrified round York. You've got your big race course there and everything.
1:11:30 > 1:11:34- Yeah. How about letting it go for 40? - I can't. I'd be glad to take 60.
1:11:34 > 1:11:38It's another interesting item. Could you go 50?
1:11:38 > 1:11:43Go on, it's cash back in my pocket. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:11:43 > 1:11:49I think that's Anita finished buying now. Maybe we should have a little recap on what she's bought.
1:11:49 > 1:11:51Two cannons,
1:11:51 > 1:11:54eight glasses, a stool,
1:11:54 > 1:11:56two postcard albums, a pocket watch,
1:11:56 > 1:11:58a silver albertina,
1:11:58 > 1:12:00two pairs of cufflinks, two tie pins,
1:12:00 > 1:12:06the vitreous china horse and cart, and a broken ring of 18-carat gold, and no cuddly toy.
1:12:06 > 1:12:09- Thank you very much.- OK, thank you.
1:12:09 > 1:12:11Thank YOU!
1:12:11 > 1:12:15Meanwhile, Mark has also spotted a last-minute item.
1:12:15 > 1:12:20But just as we were going downstairs, this caught me out of the corner of my eye.
1:12:20 > 1:12:23Not terribly well carved... sorry to say that...
1:12:23 > 1:12:27on the hands and things, but there's just something about him.
1:12:27 > 1:12:31- His eyes are quite nicely painted. - Quite nice boots, aren't they?
1:12:31 > 1:12:37Yeah, it's a little bit amateurishly done, but there's something rather appealing about him.
1:12:37 > 1:12:39What I might do, you know, Robert,
1:12:39 > 1:12:45is put him rather sneakily with the jug because he kind of has a little look of Isaac Newton about him.
1:12:45 > 1:12:47- Can I make a sneaky offer on that? - Yes.
1:12:47 > 1:12:51I mean, could I possibly get him for the same price as the table, a tenner?
1:12:54 > 1:12:56Oh, go on, then.
1:12:56 > 1:12:58- Yes?- Yes.
1:12:58 > 1:13:01That's item three from this shop. Good work, Mark.
1:13:01 > 1:13:03Thank you very much indeed.
1:13:05 > 1:13:12Our friends reunited, Anita and Mark, head for Northallerton, the county town of North Yorkshire.
1:13:12 > 1:13:14Its situation in the Vale of York
1:13:14 > 1:13:20means that it's an important market town, attracting traders after a bargain.
1:13:20 > 1:13:22Talking of which...
1:13:22 > 1:13:24This is the very last shop.
1:13:24 > 1:13:27I know, and it's mine. It's all mine!
1:13:27 > 1:13:31Oh, well, darling, have the very best of luck.
1:13:31 > 1:13:35- Listen, enjoy your last visit. - OK, then, bye-bye. Break a leg.
1:13:35 > 1:13:39Mark's last shop is Cobweb Antiques.
1:13:39 > 1:13:45As he starts to rummage, Anita heads to Thirsk to visit the vet.
1:13:45 > 1:13:47Hmm, she doesn't look unwell.
1:13:47 > 1:13:50In 1978, the BBC showed the first of 90 episodes
1:13:50 > 1:13:55of All Creatures Great And Small, and viewing figures sometimes reached 13 million.
1:13:55 > 1:13:58The series was based on the books of James Herriot,
1:13:58 > 1:14:03who wrote about his post-war adventures as a vet in the Yorkshire Dales.
1:14:03 > 1:14:07- Hi, I'm Anita. - Jim Wight, Alf Wight's son.
1:14:07 > 1:14:09Alf Wight was James Herriot's real name.
1:14:09 > 1:14:13Jim, his son, is showing Anita round the World of James Herriot,
1:14:13 > 1:14:18a series of exhibits and displays based in his original surgery and home.
1:14:18 > 1:14:21This room doubled up as our... best room if you like.
1:14:21 > 1:14:25- Best room.- The visitors' room. - That's right, the show-off room.
1:14:25 > 1:14:29This is the office where the farmers used to come in and pay their bills.
1:14:29 > 1:14:33- They always came in on a Monday when it was market day. - I find it fascinating
1:14:33 > 1:14:36that he had the farmers paying the bills in his best room.
1:14:36 > 1:14:40It's amazing, isn't it? A lot of them didn't pay their bills, you know.
1:14:40 > 1:14:43They'd say, "I was going to pay you, Mr White, but..."
1:14:43 > 1:14:46And they'd go, "But, ee, I've forgotten my cheque book.
1:14:46 > 1:14:48"But while I'm here, I'll have... "
1:14:48 > 1:14:53Cos we had all the drugs on the old shelves. "I'll have a bottle of that and I'll have some of that."
1:14:53 > 1:15:00It was market day on Monday when the farmers came in so they'd all had a good skinful as well.
1:15:06 > 1:15:11This here is the old dispensary where all the drugs used to be made up,
1:15:11 > 1:15:16and it was the days before antibiotics and corticosteroids and the modern drugs, you know.
1:15:16 > 1:15:21- It's just like a big pantry. - It is, because they were making their own recipes if you like.
1:15:21 > 1:15:28Here's the old scales. They used to weigh out the master ingredients for the cure-all medicines.
1:15:28 > 1:15:32You see these things... Embrocations, drink for calves...
1:15:32 > 1:15:37- Cleansing drinks...- Calves cordial. - Calves cordial. Fantastic, isn't it? - I wonder what was in that!
1:15:37 > 1:15:42The best one was one called Universal Cattle Medicine.
1:15:42 > 1:15:47There isn't exactly an example of it here, but it was called UCM. It was in bottles like this.
1:15:47 > 1:15:51There was turpentine and ether and arsenic and all sorts of stuff in it,
1:15:51 > 1:15:55and you'd whack that down a cow's throat and it cured everything.
1:15:55 > 1:16:03After more than 25 years of this bovine tough love, James Herriot's first book was published in 1966.
1:16:03 > 1:16:06It wasn't until publication in America six years later
1:16:06 > 1:16:08that the books really took off
1:16:08 > 1:16:12and he became an international bestselling author.
1:16:12 > 1:16:17In the television series, he always seemed such a mild-mannered man.
1:16:17 > 1:16:19- He was.- He was like that?
1:16:19 > 1:16:24He always regarded himself as the onlooker thrust among a lot of interesting characters.
1:16:24 > 1:16:27You could describe him as the archetypal gentleman, my dad.
1:16:27 > 1:16:29He was a very gentlemanly guy.
1:16:29 > 1:16:32Back in Northallerton,
1:16:32 > 1:16:34during Mark's last shopping opportunity of the week,
1:16:34 > 1:16:39the All Creatures Great And Small theme continues. Meow!
1:16:39 > 1:16:43Hello. Have you come for a bit of attention as well?
1:16:43 > 1:16:46Have you? What do you think of this lot?
1:16:46 > 1:16:48Yeah, rubbish.
1:16:48 > 1:16:51Ruff! Honestly, the quality of customers these days.
1:16:51 > 1:16:52No rubbish here.
1:16:52 > 1:16:55- You just have to look carefully. - These are lovely. I love wood.
1:16:55 > 1:16:57Terribly tactile.
1:16:57 > 1:17:01Gosh, you're sounding like Anita Manning.
1:17:01 > 1:17:04As long as you weren't going to say Bernard Manning!
1:17:07 > 1:17:10I feel that Mark needs some direction.
1:17:10 > 1:17:12This is quite fun, actually.
1:17:12 > 1:17:17It's a little travelling compass in a nine-carat gold frame.
1:17:17 > 1:17:23Now, I'm not sure if the little chain mount on it is gold, but certainly the frame is.
1:17:23 > 1:17:25It's rather sweet, actually.
1:17:25 > 1:17:30Sweet price? £89. There's a lot of bargaining that needs to be done here.
1:17:30 > 1:17:32I quite like the little compass.
1:17:32 > 1:17:34- It's rather sweet.- Rather sweet.
1:17:34 > 1:17:3689...
1:17:36 > 1:17:39- Do that one for 75.- 75.
1:17:42 > 1:17:44I don't want to pay that.
1:17:45 > 1:17:49- But I had to buy it. - Would you lose at 60?
1:17:49 > 1:17:5165. That's the death.
1:17:51 > 1:17:54- 65?- Mm-hm.
1:17:54 > 1:17:58Thank you, Susan. You're an angel. Thank you so much for helping me out.
1:17:58 > 1:18:05With his gold compass to guide him, Mark heads south to meet up with Anita and reveal all.
1:18:05 > 1:18:10- Are you sad?- I am.- You silly, sentimental old softy.- Ohh.
1:18:10 > 1:18:13I'd like to show you my first item.
1:18:13 > 1:18:17- Please do. - The first of Anita's mixed lots.
1:18:17 > 1:18:21She certainly has the quantity, but we all know it's the quality that counts.
1:18:21 > 1:18:25- And how much did you pay for this little bundle?- £20.
1:18:25 > 1:18:28I think it's an Anita Manning lot.
1:18:28 > 1:18:35Well done. My first lot is a little coat rack, quite nicely carved with the little eye there.
1:18:35 > 1:18:36I mean, a very practical thing.
1:18:36 > 1:18:40You could have it up in your hallway, hang your coats up,
1:18:40 > 1:18:42have your favourite vase or top hat on there.
1:18:42 > 1:18:47- At last! Somewhere to keep my favourite top hat.- How much?
1:18:47 > 1:18:49- £15.- Oh, I think that's a steal.
1:18:49 > 1:18:56My second lot is a collection of postcards. This is an Art Nouveau,
1:18:56 > 1:19:02turn of the century album which has been made by Raphael Tuck.
1:19:02 > 1:19:06- Oh, very nice.- And some of the cards are Raphael Tuck as well.
1:19:06 > 1:19:12Further to that, we have an addition with some World War I embroidered cards.
1:19:12 > 1:19:13I think I have about eight or ten.
1:19:13 > 1:19:16- What did you pay?- I paid 75.
1:19:16 > 1:19:19That's not bad. I think there's a jolly good profit in there.
1:19:19 > 1:19:20Now, my second lot...
1:19:20 > 1:19:23it's a lovely big decorative piece, but if
1:19:23 > 1:19:27you look on the actual handles, the heads are missing of the creatures.
1:19:27 > 1:19:29Listen, it was £15.
1:19:29 > 1:19:31It can't make less than £15.
1:19:31 > 1:19:35It can't. Now, my mixed lot is another...
1:19:35 > 1:19:39Oh, Anita, have you bought a mixed lot on everything?
1:19:39 > 1:19:40We've got one of those,
1:19:40 > 1:19:43we've got another one of those...
1:19:43 > 1:19:46We seem to have one of everything in this lot.
1:19:46 > 1:19:49Tell me, have you fallen in love with it?
1:19:49 > 1:19:50No.
1:19:50 > 1:19:53No, I haven't. How much did you pay?
1:19:53 > 1:19:55- £20.- Take them away, Anita.
1:19:55 > 1:20:00- Next, Mark? - I bought a little mixed lot here.
1:20:00 > 1:20:09My first part of the lot is that doll, and the second part is this lovely little Victorian jug.
1:20:09 > 1:20:12It's marked underneath, it's about 1840, 1860, and I just thought
1:20:12 > 1:20:17the little doll was a wee bit of fun and I put it in with that.
1:20:17 > 1:20:23- OK, what did you pay for those?- £25. - That's probably all they're worth.
1:20:23 > 1:20:27Ha-ha-ha-ha(!) Next, Anita's walking stick with a difference.
1:20:27 > 1:20:32- Oh, that's nice. - It's a horse-measuring stick. - Oh, that's lovely, Anita.
1:20:32 > 1:20:41- London make, 1890, but inscribed on the silver is Rogers and Boyce, Newmarket.- Oh, lovely.
1:20:41 > 1:20:45- So that gives it a further... - A good profit on this.
1:20:45 > 1:20:47- ..horse-racing connection. - That's lovely.
1:20:47 > 1:20:49- Now, what did you pay for that? - I paid £50.
1:20:49 > 1:20:52I think that's quite a good buy, Anita.
1:20:52 > 1:20:55I think that could double your money.
1:20:55 > 1:20:58I bought a little gentleman's fob
1:20:58 > 1:21:02- in the form of a compass. It's nine-carat gold. - How much did you pay for it?
1:21:02 > 1:21:04Quite a lot.
1:21:04 > 1:21:0665.
1:21:06 > 1:21:10It's a bit much, isn't it? I think so. What's your last item, Anita?
1:21:10 > 1:21:13It's a Victorian stool...
1:21:13 > 1:21:15Yes.
1:21:15 > 1:21:18Which might have started off life as a chair.
1:21:18 > 1:21:20No, I'm not going to let you get away with that, Anita.
1:21:20 > 1:21:23I just want to state for the record...
1:21:23 > 1:21:25It DID start life as a chair.
1:21:25 > 1:21:29There's no might about this, Anita Manning. I think it's a great
1:21:29 > 1:21:33little buy, very nice indeed, and I presume you paid very little for it.
1:21:33 > 1:21:35- £10.- Well...
1:21:35 > 1:21:37Must get my money back on that.
1:21:37 > 1:21:41Oh, well, you'll get more than that. £40 or £50 I would've thought.
1:21:41 > 1:21:43Now time for Mark's trump card. Or is it a joker?
1:21:43 > 1:21:45It's a little wibbly-wobbly table.
1:21:45 > 1:21:51It's a hand-made design thing which is going to be very, very rare.
1:21:51 > 1:21:53- How much?- £100.
1:21:53 > 1:21:56£100?
1:21:56 > 1:21:58What do you think?
1:21:58 > 1:22:01I think your money was burning a hole in your pocket!
1:22:01 > 1:22:05Well, that's just as well, though, cos I paid a tenner for it.
1:22:05 > 1:22:07Ohh! You were kidding me on!
1:22:07 > 1:22:11- I was kidding you. I paid a tenner. - Good buy for a tenner.- Thank you.
1:22:11 > 1:22:14I must say I think you've bought a lot better things than I have.
1:22:14 > 1:22:16Well done.
1:22:16 > 1:22:22They're being very polite about that mixed lot of mixed lots. Come on, tell us what you really think.
1:22:22 > 1:22:26I love the walking cane with the horse-measurer.
1:22:26 > 1:22:28Silver topped, good provenance.
1:22:28 > 1:22:29I can see that possibly making 100.
1:22:29 > 1:22:34As for his big oriental-type vase, it's damaged, the lid's
1:22:34 > 1:22:38missing, it's nibbled on the top, the heads are missing on the dragons.
1:22:38 > 1:22:42I think he'll have to be lucky to get his money back on that one.
1:22:44 > 1:22:51This leg of Mark and Anita's journey started in Richmond and will end in Huby just outside York.
1:22:51 > 1:22:54They're taking their assorted antiques to be auctioned
1:22:54 > 1:22:57by Summersgills in the local village hall.
1:22:57 > 1:22:59I'm really excited now, Anita.
1:22:59 > 1:23:02This is our final sale, the day of reckoning.
1:23:02 > 1:23:05We cannot do any more, Anita.
1:23:05 > 1:23:07The die is cast.
1:23:07 > 1:23:09Is cast.
1:23:09 > 1:23:12A crowd has gathered to inspect the items in this general sale.
1:23:12 > 1:23:19Auctioneer Tim Summersgill has cast his seller's eye over Anita and Mark's lots.
1:23:19 > 1:23:21A couple of lots we might struggle with.
1:23:21 > 1:23:24The three-legged table, we might be lucky to sell that.
1:23:24 > 1:23:29But probably one of the best lots we've got in is the measuring stick.
1:23:29 > 1:23:34We've got a lot of interest, quite a few commission bids, so I think it should fly, should that one.
1:23:35 > 1:23:40- Mark has spent £130 on six items. - Done.
1:23:40 > 1:23:45Anita has spent £175 on...
1:23:45 > 1:23:48You know, I think it's twelve items making up five lots.
1:23:48 > 1:23:51Oh, you're a darling!
1:23:51 > 1:23:56So to the auction, with Anita needing to make up £200.
1:23:56 > 1:23:58Are you feeling confident, Mark?
1:23:58 > 1:24:01- Anita, I'm very, very nervous, I have to tell you.- Don't be nervous.
1:24:01 > 1:24:07I'm sure they'll be entranced by all the junk that you bought.
1:24:07 > 1:24:12- First up, Mark's Isaac Newton jug coupled with the doll.- £20 bid here.
1:24:12 > 1:24:17£20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30.
1:24:17 > 1:24:19£30 then, on commission at 30.
1:24:19 > 1:24:2232 in the room. £32 bid.
1:24:22 > 1:24:24For £32, all done at 32?
1:24:26 > 1:24:28- Well done! - Well, that is a bit of a profit.
1:24:28 > 1:24:34- A slow but steady £7 profit for Mark.- You were lucky, Mark.
1:24:35 > 1:24:38Don't be a meanie! It's our last day together.
1:24:38 > 1:24:40I'm not being a meanie.
1:24:40 > 1:24:45Next are the two cannon, the horse and cart and the eight glasses.
1:24:45 > 1:24:47We start at £20 bid on this one.
1:24:47 > 1:24:50- It starts at 20. - £20 on commission, 25 anywhere else?
1:24:50 > 1:24:52£20 buys it. Just in time.
1:24:52 > 1:24:5622, 24 here, 26 there. £26, 28 I'm looking for.
1:24:56 > 1:25:0026, lady's bid.
1:25:00 > 1:25:03Well, I've managed to wipe my face with that one.
1:25:03 > 1:25:08£6 profit, so the cannon didn't misfire completely.
1:25:08 > 1:25:10Now, you called me lucky, Anita.
1:25:10 > 1:25:12I think you were jolly lucky with that.
1:25:12 > 1:25:17Mark is hanging high hopes on his carved-eagle coat rack.
1:25:17 > 1:25:20Quite a bit of interest on this one so we start at £30.
1:25:20 > 1:25:23- 30 straight in.- £35 anywhere else?
1:25:23 > 1:25:2635, 38, 40 at the back.
1:25:26 > 1:25:28- 40, 42, 45, 48, 50...- Yes!
1:25:28 > 1:25:33£50 then. In the doorway at £50...
1:25:33 > 1:25:36- Oh, that's good. - That was good. That was good.
1:25:36 > 1:25:38Sold for £50 minus commission.
1:25:38 > 1:25:41Mark's eagle eye for a bargain didn't let him down.
1:25:41 > 1:25:44- So you're happy at that? - I am happy at that.
1:25:44 > 1:25:47That's a good buy that at £15.
1:25:47 > 1:25:50Next, Anita's horse-measuring stick.
1:25:50 > 1:25:55Interest on this one so we start it at 130. 140, 150, 160 with you.
1:25:55 > 1:25:58- £160. Right at the back at 160.- Yes!
1:25:58 > 1:26:02All done at 160? All sure?
1:26:02 > 1:26:04- Yes!- Well, done, Anita.
1:26:04 > 1:26:07I said you'd make 100 on that, didn't I?
1:26:07 > 1:26:11- Yeah.- Well, I never did. £110 profit.
1:26:11 > 1:26:15- Much more of this and she'll be catching Mark up.- Congratulations.
1:26:15 > 1:26:17- Thank you, darling.- Congratulations.
1:26:17 > 1:26:19Next up, it's the lump...
1:26:19 > 1:26:21Mark's damaged vase.
1:26:21 > 1:26:24- Straight in at £30...- Oh, £30!
1:26:24 > 1:26:2835 anywhere else? On commission at £30.
1:26:28 > 1:26:2935 I'm looking for.
1:26:29 > 1:26:33All done, then, at 30? No-one else?
1:26:33 > 1:26:36You got away with murder there!
1:26:36 > 1:26:41That's not a bad profit on an item that's missing most of its bits.
1:26:41 > 1:26:46Well done, darling. That's put a smile on your face.
1:26:46 > 1:26:50Ah, the postcard albums that Anita fought so hard for.
1:26:50 > 1:26:5540 in the doorway. 42, 44, 46, 48, is it?
1:26:55 > 1:26:5746 the lady. All done at 46?
1:26:57 > 1:27:00- Is that mine? - No.- 48, 50...
1:27:00 > 1:27:02- It is.- No, it's not.- It is.
1:27:02 > 1:27:05- Is it?- £50. Lady's bid this time.
1:27:05 > 1:27:07Oh.
1:27:07 > 1:27:09Come on, team, pay attention!
1:27:09 > 1:27:13£25 under the purchase price means the first loss of the day.
1:27:13 > 1:27:15- Was it 50?- Was it 50 or 58?
1:27:15 > 1:27:1750, Mark. Come on, moving on.
1:27:17 > 1:27:23The jewellery's next, items too numerous to mention.
1:27:23 > 1:27:24193 are watches et cetera...
1:27:24 > 1:27:28- Exactly.- Starting at £40 this lot.
1:27:28 > 1:27:32£40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70...
1:27:32 > 1:27:35- Is this mine?- 85 with you.
1:27:35 > 1:27:3890 there. 95 back with you.
1:27:38 > 1:27:41- 100 in the doorway.- 100!- 105.
1:27:41 > 1:27:43All done at 105?
1:27:43 > 1:27:46That was excellent!
1:27:46 > 1:27:50Well, the mixed lot made lots. She's catching up.
1:27:50 > 1:27:54105 for my wee mixed lot. I'm delighted with that.
1:27:54 > 1:27:57I'm amazed at that, Anita. I was unfair with your price for that.
1:27:57 > 1:27:58This'll be interesting.
1:27:58 > 1:28:03Remember Mark fought hard to get the compass fob for £65.
1:28:03 > 1:28:05Bid here at £20. £20 for this one.
1:28:05 > 1:28:0825, 28, 30, five,
1:28:08 > 1:28:1040, five, 50, five.
1:28:10 > 1:28:1355 then? All done at 55?
1:28:13 > 1:28:16- Ah, hard luck.- Ouch!
1:28:16 > 1:28:19That's a big smack in the wallet.
1:28:19 > 1:28:21- I was expecting that, to be honest.- I know.
1:28:21 > 1:28:24Next up, the wibbly-wobbly table.
1:28:24 > 1:28:27Bidding starts at an optimistic £20.
1:28:27 > 1:28:29- £20, any interest?- Come on!
1:28:29 > 1:28:33- 15 I'm bid. 15 the lady. - Thank goodness for that.
1:28:33 > 1:28:36£15 only. Seems cheap enough at 15.
1:28:36 > 1:28:38- No-one else?- Ohh!
1:28:39 > 1:28:43Never mind. Well done, you made profit, Mark.
1:28:43 > 1:28:46A wibbly-wobbly profit on a wibbly-wobbly table.
1:28:46 > 1:28:48Are you upset?
1:28:48 > 1:28:50Are you upset?
1:28:50 > 1:28:52- Are you upset?- Oh, shut up, Anita!
1:28:52 > 1:28:55Come on, you two. Toys back in the pram.
1:28:55 > 1:28:57Finally, the stool that was once a chair.
1:28:57 > 1:29:0015 then, here to sell.
1:29:00 > 1:29:03- 15!- £15. 16 anywhere else.
1:29:03 > 1:29:07All done at £15?
1:29:07 > 1:29:09Well, that was fair, Anita.
1:29:09 > 1:29:12Our last two lots made the same amount of money.
1:29:12 > 1:29:14£5 profit on that stool.
1:29:14 > 1:29:16I'm going to need a little sit-down.
1:29:16 > 1:29:19I think it just shows you... what idiots we are.
1:29:21 > 1:29:23A good day at auction.
1:29:23 > 1:29:27Anita did well and I thought she might have caught him up.
1:29:27 > 1:29:33She started today with £458.74 and her mixed-lot policy certainly paid off.
1:29:33 > 1:29:42She made a profit of nearly £117 after auction costs, giving her a total for the week of £575.66.
1:29:42 > 1:29:51Mark started the day with £684.86 and after auction costs he made a profit of £19.24.
1:29:51 > 1:29:54This takes his grand total to £704.10
1:29:54 > 1:29:59and that's a fantastic effort over the week, Mark. Well done!
1:29:59 > 1:30:03- Well, Mark, that was a wonderful auction.- Well, for you it was, yes.
1:30:06 > 1:30:11- So are you going to drive me off into the sunset?- I am, and then I'm going to leave you there.
1:30:11 > 1:30:14Good for you. No more antiques.
1:30:14 > 1:30:17- One week is enough! - That's us finished.
1:30:17 > 1:30:21And that brings us to the end of Anita and Mark's journey together.
1:30:21 > 1:30:24- I'll hold your hand, darling. - Come on, lead the way, darling.
1:30:24 > 1:30:28- A bargain! - What a strange trip it's been.
1:30:28 > 1:30:30It's here, it's right turn.
1:30:30 > 1:30:36Despite a little car trouble, Anita and Mark have crossed the border and occasionally crossed the line.
1:30:36 > 1:30:39I've messed around...
1:30:39 > 1:30:42Oh, gosh!
1:30:42 > 1:30:43- Ohh!- My mind's fried.
1:30:43 > 1:30:46# We're doing the mess around
1:30:46 > 1:30:50# Everybody's doing the mess around... #
1:30:50 > 1:30:52Stop the road trip, I want to get off.
1:30:55 > 1:30:59# If you're going to give me good kissin' like that... #
1:30:59 > 1:31:00Oh, you are a jammy besom.
1:31:00 > 1:31:08This flirtatious twosome have made lots of friends on the way, but we know where their hearts really lie.
1:31:08 > 1:31:10Anita, will you marry me?
1:31:10 > 1:31:14SHE LAUGHS Will I give you a surprise?
1:31:14 > 1:31:15YES!
1:31:16 > 1:31:19Oh, my good Lord.
