0:47:50 > 0:47:57.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each
0:48:05 > 0:48:09- and one big challenge! - I'm here to declare war.- Why?
0:48:09 > 0:48:13Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?
0:48:13 > 0:48:16- This is hard.- The aim is to trade up,
0:48:16 > 0:48:19- and hope each antique turns a profit.- Come on!
0:48:19 > 0:48:21But it's not as easy as you might think,
0:48:21 > 0:48:23and things don't always go to plan.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26So, will they race off with a huge profit,
0:48:26 > 0:48:29- or come to a grinding halt? - Whose side are you on?
0:48:29 > 0:48:32This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Travelling at speeds of almost 20 miles an hour,
0:48:38 > 0:48:43Catherine Southon and Philip Serrell are taking the high road through Scotland.
0:48:43 > 0:48:47Just to let you know, Phil, I have absolutely no sense of direction.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Fantastic. That's going to work really well.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52- You're going to love having me. - Oh, dear me!
0:48:52 > 0:48:56And while yesterday it was all blue skies and glorious countryside,
0:48:56 > 0:49:01today we're experiencing a slightly more traditional Scottish summer -
0:49:01 > 0:49:04grey skies and intermittent showers.
0:49:04 > 0:49:09- I just got some rain on my foot. - No, that's the radiator leaking.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12# The sun ain't gonna shine any more #
0:49:12 > 0:49:15Still, at least it's not snowing,
0:49:15 > 0:49:18and nothing is going to dampen Catherine's desire
0:49:18 > 0:49:21to snatch the lead from Philip.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23My plan is to do a Phil Serrell.
0:49:23 > 0:49:27You have this amazing ability to home in on something pretty trashy,
0:49:27 > 0:49:30and you manage to turn it into gold.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33Well, she has a point.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35Despite being a fine-arts man,
0:49:35 > 0:49:39Philip's strategy seems to be "the dafter, the better".
0:49:39 > 0:49:42If you've got bunions, you put that in your shoe.
0:49:42 > 0:49:46I thought it was for doing unmentionable things to sheep or cattle.
0:49:46 > 0:49:50Catherine Southon, on the other hand, has an impeccable knowledge
0:49:50 > 0:49:53of scientific instruments and maritime art.
0:49:53 > 0:49:57- I haven't even seen the other side of that.- You've bought it now.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59But as well as really knowing her stuff,
0:49:59 > 0:50:02she's also extremely fond of a hug.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05Oh, you're so lovely!
0:50:05 > 0:50:09Our esteemed experts started the week with £200 each,
0:50:09 > 0:50:12but one auction later, it's a very different story.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14Come on!
0:50:14 > 0:50:17Having put most of her eggs in one basket,
0:50:17 > 0:50:19Catherine made a loss,
0:50:19 > 0:50:23and so starts this leg with just £186.90.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25I hate the way you're smiling now!
0:50:25 > 0:50:28Meanwhile, Philip's love of the daft and the different
0:50:28 > 0:50:31is making him a small fortune.
0:50:31 > 0:50:35He now has £339.54 to play with.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38- Oh, I'm sorry.- No, you're not! - I am, because I feel guilty now.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41SHE SIGHS
0:50:42 > 0:50:45This week's Road Trip takes us from the northeast of Scotland
0:50:45 > 0:50:48on to Glasgow and through the Lake District,
0:50:48 > 0:50:50final destination Liverpool.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Today we're kicking off in Perth,
0:50:53 > 0:50:57and, all going according to plan, we should wind up in Paisley.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00Even without the sun, there's no denying
0:51:00 > 0:51:02Perth, on the banks of the River Tay,
0:51:02 > 0:51:05is one very striking city.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08It's the Parthenon, look! We're in Greece!
0:51:08 > 0:51:11I knew we'd been driving for a long time.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13It's here the whisky industry flourished,
0:51:13 > 0:51:16and the kings of Scotland were crowned,
0:51:16 > 0:51:18so, with such a rich history,
0:51:18 > 0:51:22you'd expect our next stop to be somewhere very grand indeed.
0:51:22 > 0:51:23Hey, here we are!
0:51:23 > 0:51:26But...no.
0:51:29 > 0:51:33For the second day in a row, we're off to a car-boot sale.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35I hope these two know what they're doing.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38You always find tomato plants, don't you?
0:51:38 > 0:51:41And second-hand foot spas. There we are.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43- Well done.- Beautifully placed.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45That's a wonderful bit of car parking.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48Yeah, nice one. Well, having a quick scout around,
0:51:48 > 0:51:52it's not exactly overflowing with antiques and gorgeous collectables.
0:51:53 > 0:51:59I told you! You always find a second-hand foot spa at a boot sale.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02And as for the tomato plants, they're just over here -
0:52:02 > 0:52:0540p each or three for a pound.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08Though maybe I've been a bit harsh -
0:52:08 > 0:52:12after all, Philip's already uncovered a vintage tea service.
0:52:12 > 0:52:16One sugar in mine, please. How much is that, my love?
0:52:16 > 0:52:19- £10.- Get out of here, you!
0:52:19 > 0:52:23My love, this can't be worth a tenner. This is just lunacy.
0:52:23 > 0:52:27This opens up. You can't... I mean, what a performance,
0:52:27 > 0:52:29if you want a cup of tea! I mean, look at it.
0:52:29 > 0:52:32Looks like Friar Tuck's head, that, doesn't it?
0:52:32 > 0:52:35- Does it all match, because... - No, it doesn't.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38- Oh, there you are, you see. - Only the teapot and the coffee pot.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41I don't know why I'm looking at it. It's horrible.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44- What's the best you can do that for? - Ten!
0:52:44 > 0:52:46Oh, get out of here!
0:52:46 > 0:52:49I think Philip's finally met his match.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52Perhaps Catherine's having more luck.
0:52:52 > 0:52:56Bush radio. This is a collectable model, from the '60s to the '70s,
0:52:56 > 0:52:59and then they reproduced this later on.
0:52:59 > 0:53:04This is one of the original ones, but I think it's seen better days.
0:53:04 > 0:53:08Without a doubt, the Bush radio is a style icon.
0:53:08 > 0:53:11This particular model dates back to 1959,
0:53:11 > 0:53:14and owes its phenomenal success
0:53:14 > 0:53:19to a then newly identified demographic, the British teenager,
0:53:19 > 0:53:22though sadly this isn't a market Catherine can count on today.
0:53:22 > 0:53:26- Is it working?- Before the battery ran out, it was working.
0:53:26 > 0:53:28And you're asking for ten?
0:53:28 > 0:53:31- And that's a bargain. - Could you not do eight on that?
0:53:31 > 0:53:35- Ten's my... I'm really, really - - Oh, you are mean!
0:53:35 > 0:53:39- No, I'm not mean. I'm just - - It's in a really bad way,
0:53:39 > 0:53:43- because it's a bit bashed here. - Well, let's try nine, then.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46- How about the nine? - Could you go to five?- No.
0:53:46 > 0:53:49- Really?- No, because I've already come down, you see.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52- Shall we say seven and be friends? - 7.50.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55- Ooh, 7.50!- Buying a Bush radio,
0:53:55 > 0:53:58- an original Bush radio, for 7.50... - Go on, then.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01- This lady knows what she's doing. - There we are.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04Oh, my gosh. It's all falling apart.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07I'll let you put it back together again before I take it.
0:54:07 > 0:54:11Oh, dear! And as for the teapot saga...
0:54:11 > 0:54:15- You won't take less than a tenner? - I might, later on in the day.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19But I'll be gone then. The moment will have just evaporated.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21Ooh! Time to move on, I think,
0:54:21 > 0:54:24to four 19th-century box planes being sold as a set
0:54:24 > 0:54:26by guess who!
0:54:26 > 0:54:29- They're £4 each.- Who gave...
0:54:29 > 0:54:31Where does this pricing structure come from?
0:54:34 > 0:54:37If you're, you know, a carpenter,
0:54:37 > 0:54:39and you're working with something like that,
0:54:39 > 0:54:42isn't that a fantastic thing? That bit of wood there
0:54:42 > 0:54:44holds this blade in here,
0:54:44 > 0:54:47and if you look just where my finger is there,
0:54:47 > 0:54:51you can see that there's a maker's name on the blade.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53How much for them?
0:54:53 > 0:54:57- 12. - They're not worth £12, are they?
0:54:57 > 0:54:59I was thinking of a fiver for the lot.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01Oh, no way! No.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04Try again, then.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07- £12.- No, no! You've got to move.
0:55:07 > 0:55:10There has to be movement in this business.
0:55:10 > 0:55:13I'll give you my best deal. I'll give you eight quid for 'em,
0:55:13 > 0:55:17and I'll pay you now in hard Scottish cash.
0:55:17 > 0:55:18No!
0:55:18 > 0:55:21My goodness, they're a tough bunch up here in Perth!
0:55:21 > 0:55:24But can they resist a Philip Serrell sob-story?
0:55:24 > 0:55:27Listen, if I could tell you about my life...
0:55:27 > 0:55:30I'm having a terrible time of it, right? I'm a long way from home.
0:55:30 > 0:55:33I'm struggling to find anything.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36It's... It's been really tough, really.
0:55:36 > 0:55:40If I could buy those for £8, I could just see myself coming out of it.
0:55:40 > 0:55:43It would just help me on the way to recovery.
0:55:44 > 0:55:48- Oh, you are mean! - I'm not mean. I'm shrewd.
0:55:48 > 0:55:52Is she ever! And now Catherine's come to rub salt in Philip's wounds.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54He is so mean, this chap.
0:55:54 > 0:55:58What you should do, when Philip comes up, is double your prices.
0:55:58 > 0:56:01- This lady, trust me... - Stick to your guns!
0:56:01 > 0:56:04She needs no advice. I can feel myself getting kippered
0:56:04 > 0:56:06- before I start.- You love it!
0:56:06 > 0:56:09Right, you... Off you go, you.
0:56:09 > 0:56:13There's four of 'em. Four into 12 is £3 each, isn't it?
0:56:13 > 0:56:18I'll give you a fiver for two, and I promise I'm going to get out of your life for good.
0:56:18 > 0:56:20- OK.- You're an angel!
0:56:20 > 0:56:23- There you are, my love. Thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:56:23 > 0:56:25You're an angel.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28Just when it looks as though Phil's come out on top,
0:56:28 > 0:56:31- there's treachery afoot. - Right, where were those planes?
0:56:31 > 0:56:34Aha! How much could you sell those two for?
0:56:34 > 0:56:37For a bit of fun, could you do them for two?
0:56:37 > 0:56:39Oh!
0:56:39 > 0:56:42If I can get them at a cheaper price then have a competition,
0:56:42 > 0:56:46because they're nowhere near as good, and they're split and damaged...
0:56:46 > 0:56:49- Three. - Oh, go on. Two. It would be such fun!
0:56:49 > 0:56:51Go on!
0:56:51 > 0:56:54Oh, OK, just so I don't have to take them home.
0:56:54 > 0:56:56That's good. You don't want these at home.
0:56:56 > 0:57:00Thank you so much. Wonderful. Thank you. Love it!
0:57:00 > 0:57:03Oh, Catherine, you are awful! But I like you.
0:57:03 > 0:57:05Are you ready? Here we go.
0:57:05 > 0:57:09Come along, baby. Yay! Whoo!
0:57:09 > 0:57:11That was quite smooth, for you.
0:57:11 > 0:57:15And with that we say a fond farewell to Perth,
0:57:15 > 0:57:20and head towards the coastal village of South Queensferry.
0:57:20 > 0:57:23This quaint little place sits at the foot
0:57:23 > 0:57:27of one of Scotland's best-known icons, the Forth Railway Bridge,
0:57:27 > 0:57:30which officially opened in 1890
0:57:30 > 0:57:34thanks to 4,000 workers, 54,000 tons of steel
0:57:34 > 0:57:36and six and a half million rivets.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39Look at that! That is magnificent.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41So, where does it actually stretch from?
0:57:41 > 0:57:45- From here to there. - I knew you'd give me a decent answer.
0:57:45 > 0:57:50South Queensferry also boasts a unique collection of buildings,
0:57:50 > 0:57:53some of which date back as far as the 15th century.
0:57:53 > 0:57:56Oh, sweet! Oh, I like this.
0:57:56 > 0:58:00- HE GIBBERS - # I'm all shook up #
0:58:00 > 0:58:03- Have a good one, my love. - And you. I'll see you later. Bye!
0:58:03 > 0:58:05It's on this cobbled high street
0:58:05 > 0:58:09that you'll find Sea Kist, an antiques store
0:58:09 > 0:58:12which reflects the village's seafaring past,
0:58:12 > 0:58:15and it's owned by Jenny, who has a love of anything
0:58:15 > 0:58:17and everything with a nautical connection.
0:58:17 > 0:58:19- Can I have a look round?- Certainly.
0:58:19 > 0:58:23There's a big maritime theme going on here.
0:58:23 > 0:58:27Catherine's first pick, this rather impressive sextant.
0:58:27 > 0:58:32Got the filters, and you would use this to find your way at sea.
0:58:32 > 0:58:36- How much do you want for this? - That one's £650.
0:58:36 > 0:58:41- 650.- They're very difficult to get with the lenses in good condition.
0:58:41 > 0:58:44Oh, dear. Too much.
0:58:44 > 0:58:48Jenny, I do like that. A box for cigarettes.
0:58:48 > 0:58:50- How much is that one?- That one's 40.
0:58:50 > 0:58:53SHE GASPS £40. That's quite a lot of money.
0:58:53 > 0:58:56I don't think I'd pay any more than £15, to be honest,
0:58:56 > 0:58:58because it is a cardboard box.
0:58:58 > 0:59:01In other words, too risky.
0:59:01 > 0:59:04Jenny, I'm interested in this games set here.
0:59:04 > 0:59:06Oh, dear.
0:59:06 > 0:59:10- How long has that been there for? - A few years, I think.
0:59:10 > 0:59:13I know how to spot a bargain, don't I?
0:59:13 > 0:59:15And so, too dusty?
0:59:15 > 0:59:18Oh, Jenny, I don't think this is going to be a winner.
0:59:18 > 0:59:22As it turns out, this South Queensferry girl
0:59:22 > 0:59:25is a lifelong collector of anything to do with the Forth Bridge.
0:59:25 > 0:59:27She even lives next door to it,
0:59:27 > 0:59:30so Catherine, ever on the lookout for a bargain,
0:59:30 > 0:59:32has now wangled her way into Jenny's home.
0:59:34 > 0:59:37Wow. I am loving your kitchen!
0:59:37 > 0:59:39This is funky.
0:59:39 > 0:59:43- Different. - It's different, but it's great.
0:59:43 > 0:59:47Jenny has more than 200 pieces in her collection,
0:59:47 > 0:59:50and claims she can spot a Forth Bridge collectable at 50 paces.
0:59:50 > 0:59:54I was born and brought up just along the coast a little bit,
0:59:54 > 0:59:57- so it's also always said "home" to me.- Right.
0:59:57 > 1:00:01- You know, and...- That's lovely. - Yeah, it's great.
1:00:01 > 1:00:04You've got a fantastic view of it from your kitchen window.
1:00:04 > 1:00:06You are really passionate about this.
1:00:06 > 1:00:08I'm passionate about the bridge,
1:00:08 > 1:00:12but I'm passionate about the human aspect of the bridge.
1:00:12 > 1:00:14It's more than just the girders.
1:00:14 > 1:00:17It's the fact that other people come down here,
1:00:17 > 1:00:21they see the bridge, and all these things that I collect
1:00:21 > 1:00:24are little things that people want to take away with them.
1:00:24 > 1:00:27They want to take something home of the bridge,
1:00:27 > 1:00:31with that image on it, and that's the bit that fascinates me.
1:00:31 > 1:00:34Jenny's favourite pieces commemorate Thomas Bouch,
1:00:34 > 1:00:39who was originally employed to design the Forth Bridge,
1:00:39 > 1:00:41but early into construction was fired
1:00:41 > 1:00:45when another of his designs, the iconic Tay Bridge, collapsed
1:00:45 > 1:00:47and killed 75 people.
1:00:47 > 1:00:50He'd started the construction of his Forth Bridge,
1:00:50 > 1:00:53and you can just see a small part of it
1:00:53 > 1:00:57under the middle cantilever where the little light is.
1:00:57 > 1:01:00- That's all that remains of Bouch's bridge.- Oh, really?
1:01:00 > 1:01:03As soon as the Tay Bridge disaster happened...
1:01:03 > 1:01:06- They moved it on to someone else. - He was taken off the project.
1:01:06 > 1:01:10- I'm glad, or this might have... - It would have looked different.
1:01:10 > 1:01:14It wouldn't have been the bridge we have. The bridge we see today,
1:01:14 > 1:01:17at that time, after that disaster happening,
1:01:17 > 1:01:22they had to build something that not only was strong
1:01:22 > 1:01:26but had to look strong, so that you had the confidence of the public
1:01:26 > 1:01:29to use it. I think it was a much slimmer bridge.
1:01:29 > 1:01:30Much slimmer.
1:01:30 > 1:01:33Whilst none of this collection is for sale,
1:01:33 > 1:01:35Jenny does have a few items
1:01:35 > 1:01:39that might satisfy Catherine's desire for something nautical.
1:01:39 > 1:01:43This is stuff that is heading towards the shop eventually.
1:01:43 > 1:01:45My eye is drawn to these.
1:01:45 > 1:01:49Nice iron dividers. I would say they're probably...
1:01:49 > 1:01:51for a map or something like that.
1:01:51 > 1:01:55Well, unlike Catherine, I'm no maritime expert,
1:01:55 > 1:02:00but I can tell you that, simply put, dividers measure distance.
1:02:00 > 1:02:04I would say that once upon a time there would have been a screw there,
1:02:04 > 1:02:07- but I like them.- Yeah. They're nice.
1:02:07 > 1:02:11And then this parallel rule, I love the hinges on that.
1:02:11 > 1:02:13They're really nicely made.
1:02:13 > 1:02:18I would say that something like this is really, again, for mapping.
1:02:18 > 1:02:21I love the way you can see how it's been folded down,
1:02:21 > 1:02:24and it's got a lovely mark, a nice sign of wear there.
1:02:24 > 1:02:28This particular parallel rule was produced by Captain Fields,
1:02:28 > 1:02:31who in the 19th century improved on the 300-year-old design
1:02:31 > 1:02:34by marking degrees on its outer edges.
1:02:34 > 1:02:36How much are you wanting for these?
1:02:36 > 1:02:40I was thinking about £25 each for them.
1:02:40 > 1:02:42Each?
1:02:42 > 1:02:44Bit of damage there.
1:02:44 > 1:02:46Could we do a bit of a deal on these,
1:02:46 > 1:02:50- bearing in mind they've both got problems?- They have, yes.
1:02:50 > 1:02:53- Um...- Quite major problems. - Quite major problems.
1:02:53 > 1:02:54Right, right.
1:02:54 > 1:02:58I think we could come down to 35 for the two of them.
1:02:58 > 1:03:01Hmm. Would you take 20 on them?
1:03:01 > 1:03:0425 would be better.
1:03:04 > 1:03:06Can we do 20?
1:03:06 > 1:03:0822?
1:03:08 > 1:03:10Ooh!
1:03:10 > 1:03:13- 20?- I think 22 would be fair.
1:03:13 > 1:03:15- 22 is very fair. - OK.- I'll be happy with that.
1:03:15 > 1:03:17Thank you so much.
1:03:17 > 1:03:22While Catherine has three auction lots under her polka-dot belt,
1:03:22 > 1:03:25Philip is lagging behind with just one.
1:03:25 > 1:03:28- Hi, lovely, how you doing?- Lovely.
1:03:28 > 1:03:32Look at that. Wing mirrors! They're not for lipstick after all, are they?
1:03:32 > 1:03:34SHE LAUGHS
1:03:34 > 1:03:37But as they say, tomorrow is another day.
1:03:39 > 1:03:43Day two kicks off with what was once reputed to be
1:03:43 > 1:03:46the second city of the empire.
1:03:46 > 1:03:49Where else but the robust and exciting Glasgow,
1:03:49 > 1:03:52where our experts will continue to shop till they drop?
1:03:52 > 1:03:57Though currently they're taking a leisurely drive along the Clyde,
1:03:57 > 1:04:01which was once home to 38 shipyards and 100,000 working men.
1:04:01 > 1:04:03Today it can be just as lively,
1:04:03 > 1:04:08as this is where some of the world's most famous musicians come to perform.
1:04:08 > 1:04:12- That is amazing, isn't it? - We're not in Sydney, are we?
1:04:12 > 1:04:14So far Philip's barely opened his wallet.
1:04:14 > 1:04:17So, nothing new there, then! He's spent just £5
1:04:17 > 1:04:22on two box planes, which leaves him with over £330
1:04:22 > 1:04:24burning a hole in his pocket.
1:04:24 > 1:04:27I want you to spend a decent amount of money today.
1:04:27 > 1:04:30No, you don't. You just want me to lose a decent amount of money.
1:04:30 > 1:04:34- Well, that would be quite handy. - Crash And Burn Serrell, that's all you want.
1:04:34 > 1:04:38As for Catherine, she's making every penny count
1:04:38 > 1:04:42in order to seize the lead. So far she's picked up three auction lots
1:04:42 > 1:04:44for just £31.50,
1:04:44 > 1:04:46and has £150 still in the kitty.
1:04:48 > 1:04:50- Are you going to do some serious buying?- Might do.
1:04:50 > 1:04:52Might do? Ooh!
1:04:52 > 1:04:56Philip's next port of call is a hidden gem
1:04:56 > 1:04:59on a quiet industrial street next to the Clyde.
1:04:59 > 1:05:01It's called the Glasgow Antiques Centre.
1:05:01 > 1:05:05So you're treading the boards, and I'm off to an antiques centre.
1:05:05 > 1:05:09- Aren't you going to drop me off? - No! The walk can keep you warm.
1:05:09 > 1:05:12Thanks a lot! Make sure you buy something decent.
1:05:12 > 1:05:15- It's up that hill somewhere.- Thanks.
1:05:15 > 1:05:19John, how are you? Are you sure this place is big enough?
1:05:19 > 1:05:21Blimey O'Riley!
1:05:21 > 1:05:24With more than 30 different antique dealers
1:05:24 > 1:05:27exhibiting under one roof, there's everything here,
1:05:27 > 1:05:29from the finest of Victorian furniture
1:05:29 > 1:05:31to a tartan travel blanket.
1:05:31 > 1:05:34The girl I'm travelling with is getting very cold in the car,
1:05:34 > 1:05:38so this will be great over her knees. Will a fiver buy that?
1:05:38 > 1:05:40Cos that's all I've got.
1:05:40 > 1:05:43- It would have to be a tenner. - Oh, I can't do that.
1:05:43 > 1:05:47She's going to get pneumonia, and that's going to be your fault now.
1:05:47 > 1:05:49Suffice to say, our hero is in the right place
1:05:49 > 1:05:52to find something unusual. But what to choose, Philip?
1:05:52 > 1:05:54What to choose?
1:05:54 > 1:05:56Oh, I love that. It's a kettle drum.
1:05:56 > 1:06:00But these things make great coffee tables, you know?
1:06:00 > 1:06:03But you can imagine that with either a glass top
1:06:03 > 1:06:06or even a copper top... It would be fantastic.
1:06:06 > 1:06:10And the way you tune it is not by just whacking it in the middle,
1:06:10 > 1:06:13but you...go all the way round the outside.
1:06:13 > 1:06:15John?
1:06:15 > 1:06:18How much is this old thing in the corner?
1:06:18 > 1:06:20Would it be as much as a hundred quid?
1:06:20 > 1:06:23- Definitely.- It would be?- Yes.
1:06:23 > 1:06:26Do you think there's a maker's name on it anywhere?
1:06:26 > 1:06:30It looks like Liverpool. This is clearly Ringo Starr's first drum.
1:06:30 > 1:06:32- HE LAUGHS - Look. Absolutely clear.
1:06:32 > 1:06:36Look. Liverpool! What's the best price you could do for this?
1:06:36 > 1:06:38What's the very best?
1:06:38 > 1:06:40Bottom? £100.
1:06:40 > 1:06:44Is that it? Finished? It's not even worth offering him 90 for it?
1:06:44 > 1:06:45No, definitely not.
1:06:45 > 1:06:48I think it's a cool thing. The thing is,
1:06:48 > 1:06:53there's every chance that everybody else will think I'm stark raving bonkers.
1:06:53 > 1:06:55- What can I say?- 100 quid. Go on.
1:06:55 > 1:06:58Steady, Philip. I think I can see the dust coming out of your wallet.
1:07:02 > 1:07:04Having travelled on foot,
1:07:04 > 1:07:07Catherine's finally reached her next destination -
1:07:07 > 1:07:10the world's oldest surviving music hall,
1:07:10 > 1:07:13right here in Glasgow's Merchant City.
1:07:13 > 1:07:18This important piece of our history is called the Britannia Panopticon,
1:07:18 > 1:07:21although for 60 years it was closed and virtually forgotten.
1:07:21 > 1:07:23Wow! Here we are!
1:07:23 > 1:07:25So, it all happened here.
1:07:25 > 1:07:28Its restoration, even its very survival,
1:07:28 > 1:07:31is thanks to this woman, Judith Bowers.
1:07:31 > 1:07:35This, all round here, it makes me think of a ship.
1:07:35 > 1:07:38This is almost like a galleried stern up here.
1:07:38 > 1:07:41It certainly has a lot of shipbuilding behind it,
1:07:41 > 1:07:45because it was moonlighting shipbuilders that built the balcony.
1:07:45 > 1:07:47Oh, right. Aha!
1:07:47 > 1:07:52Founded in 1857, the Britannia was an instant success,
1:07:52 > 1:07:56with more than a thousand of Glasgow's east-enders
1:07:56 > 1:08:00crammed in four times a day to see saucy dancing girls,
1:08:00 > 1:08:02singers and comic turns.
1:08:02 > 1:08:04It was closed temporarily in 1905,
1:08:04 > 1:08:08because everybody was leaving the old Victorian music halls
1:08:08 > 1:08:10to go to the new-fangled variety theatres.
1:08:10 > 1:08:14- Right.- And during its closure, they modified the building
1:08:14 > 1:08:18by converting the attic into a rooftop carnival, waxworks
1:08:18 > 1:08:22and freak show, and the basement under the public house into a zoo.
1:08:22 > 1:08:26Oh, right, to try and get a wider audience.
1:08:26 > 1:08:29And that's why it become known as Panopticon,
1:08:29 > 1:08:31"pan" meaning "everything", "opti", "to see",
1:08:31 > 1:08:34- in one building.- That was very clever thinking, wasn't it?
1:08:34 > 1:08:38The noisy crowds would make their opinion known of every act,
1:08:38 > 1:08:40cheering the good and pelting the bad
1:08:40 > 1:08:42with whatever ammunition came to hand,
1:08:42 > 1:08:45including fish heads and shipyard rivets,
1:08:45 > 1:08:49giving the music hall a reputation for leaving no turn un-stoned.
1:08:49 > 1:08:55One third of our audience was boys aged between nine and 13,
1:08:55 > 1:08:58and their favourite sport was to try and wee over the top of the balcony
1:08:58 > 1:09:02- and hit the comic on the stage below.- Oh, my word!
1:09:02 > 1:09:05There's a great story from 1904 about the ladies' orchestra
1:09:05 > 1:09:08that used to sit underneath the balcony,
1:09:08 > 1:09:11and they used to pray, before going into the orchestra bar,
1:09:11 > 1:09:13that the boys above had full bladders,
1:09:13 > 1:09:16because if they didn't they didn't have enough pressure to hit the act.
1:09:16 > 1:09:20- It would trickle down their... - Oh, that's ghastly! - Pretty rough house.
1:09:20 > 1:09:25But one performer not intimidated by this tough Glasgow audience
1:09:25 > 1:09:28was the 16 year old Stan Laurel,
1:09:28 > 1:09:31who made his world debut right here.
1:09:31 > 1:09:33Stan managed to make it through one joke,
1:09:33 > 1:09:37and apparently the audience thought it was pretty awful,
1:09:37 > 1:09:41so Stan apparently started to make his exit from the stage.
1:09:41 > 1:09:45So he took off his dad's best hat to take a bow,
1:09:45 > 1:09:47but as he did so, he fumbled it and dropped it
1:09:47 > 1:09:51in a kind of familiar-today Stan Laurel fashion,
1:09:51 > 1:09:53and the audience started to titter.
1:09:53 > 1:09:55He stepped forward to collect the hat,
1:09:55 > 1:09:57and kicked it into the orchestra bar.
1:09:57 > 1:10:01Audience tittered louder. He's now sidestepping off the stage,
1:10:01 > 1:10:05and the stage manager, George, came on with the stage hook
1:10:05 > 1:10:06to get the trapeze bar down.
1:10:06 > 1:10:09The hook caught in Stan's dad's best frock coat
1:10:09 > 1:10:12and tore it clean up the back.
1:10:12 > 1:10:16And that was it. The audience was in absolute hysterics,
1:10:16 > 1:10:18and the rest, as they say, is history.
1:10:18 > 1:10:21By the 1930s, music halls were closing,
1:10:21 > 1:10:24and cinema was taking its place.
1:10:24 > 1:10:27In fact, Glasgow had more cinemas per head of population
1:10:27 > 1:10:30than any other European city.
1:10:31 > 1:10:34But 60 years on, Judith began restoring the Britannia,
1:10:34 > 1:10:37and soon discovered 3,000 pieces of history
1:10:37 > 1:10:40literally under the seats.
1:10:40 > 1:10:43I just love these little Edwardian toffee boxes.
1:10:43 > 1:10:48You've got someone sitting up there watching the comedy act,
1:10:48 > 1:10:51munching away on their cream caramel toffees,
1:10:51 > 1:10:54and then just tossing the box behind. It's just wonderful.
1:10:54 > 1:10:57Great little piece of history, isn't it?
1:10:57 > 1:11:02Now, this is a really nicely pristine cigarette packet,
1:11:02 > 1:11:06- but inside there is still... - Oh, a cigarette!- ..one left.
1:11:06 > 1:11:10So, this was like a real working man's...
1:11:10 > 1:11:13You did occasionally get what they called the mashers in
1:11:13 > 1:11:16- with their Judys.- The mashers!
1:11:16 > 1:11:20The posh men, who would bring in a certain class of lady
1:11:20 > 1:11:23- to hide up in the balcony with. - Oh, really?
1:11:23 > 1:11:24- Oh, yes.- Say no more!
1:11:24 > 1:11:30Having been closed since 1938, the venue finally re-opened its doors
1:11:30 > 1:11:34in 2003 as the Britannia Panopticon.
1:11:34 > 1:11:36So, really this is all down to you?
1:11:36 > 1:11:40Well, and a stalwart bunch of volunteers as well.
1:11:40 > 1:11:42You should be extremely proud of this,
1:11:42 > 1:11:45because this is a wonderful piece of Glasgow's heritage.
1:11:45 > 1:11:49Judith, thank you so much. It's been such a treat.
1:11:50 > 1:11:54Our experts' next and final stop on this leg
1:11:54 > 1:11:56is Glasgow's west end, and with the auction looming,
1:11:56 > 1:11:59they haven't a moment to lose.
1:11:59 > 1:12:04Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. That looks pretty impressive.
1:12:04 > 1:12:08- How are you feeling?- It's a bit cold. That's how I'm feeling.
1:12:08 > 1:12:12Fortunately, Ruthven Mews is 11 individual antique stores
1:12:12 > 1:12:15in one arcade, selling a range of collectables
1:12:15 > 1:12:17from the last two centuries,
1:12:17 > 1:12:20so our duo should be spoiled for choice here.
1:12:20 > 1:12:23There's a lot of what I would call vintage stuff in here,
1:12:23 > 1:12:26but I'm not sure it's me.
1:12:26 > 1:12:29I think I'm probably veteran rather than vintage.
1:12:29 > 1:12:33Catherine, on the other hand, wants to spend a maximum of £50
1:12:33 > 1:12:36out of her £150 kitty.
1:12:36 > 1:12:38Tell me what you think of this.
1:12:38 > 1:12:40Oh, my word, isn't that fabulous?
1:12:40 > 1:12:45We sent a picture to Tiffany UK, and they cannot find a design anywhere.
1:12:45 > 1:12:48That's brilliant!
1:12:48 > 1:12:51So they think it may have been a commission.
1:12:51 > 1:12:53- Watch how the light changes. - That is beautiful.
1:12:53 > 1:12:56- It could be worth about £1,000. - Here's hoping.
1:12:56 > 1:12:59- You sure you don't want to sell that? - Positive.
1:13:01 > 1:13:06Now, as for Philip's quest to find something even older than himself,
1:13:06 > 1:13:09thanks to Steven here, it seems to be going rather well.
1:13:09 > 1:13:14What I wanted to look at was the truncheon, which is that.
1:13:14 > 1:13:18I think that's police, because it's had a painted handle.
1:13:18 > 1:13:22And it's had VR there, which is Victoria Regina.
1:13:22 > 1:13:25In the Victorian era, the policeman's truncheon
1:13:25 > 1:13:29was essentially his warrant card, as the royal crest attached to it
1:13:29 > 1:13:34indicated his authority, and when said truncheon left official service,
1:13:34 > 1:13:38often with the person who used it, the crest was sometimes removed.
1:13:38 > 1:13:41I sort of quite like that, really.
1:13:43 > 1:13:46But I'm thinking... Can I have a look at the bell as well,
1:13:46 > 1:13:51and I'll tell you what I'm thinking. This would be the same date as this.
1:13:51 > 1:13:54I think it could be a similar date. 100 years ago, anyway.
1:13:54 > 1:13:57- Sort of 1880, something like that? - I would think so.
1:13:57 > 1:14:02I think at auction that that is between £15 and £25 worth,
1:14:02 > 1:14:05and I think that is between £30 and £50 worth.
1:14:05 > 1:14:07I'd like to give you 50 quid the two.
1:14:07 > 1:14:10- I wouldn't like to take it, though. - Well, I appreciate that,
1:14:10 > 1:14:14but life's full of the imponderable negotiations.
1:14:14 > 1:14:17I'll take 55 for the two.
1:14:17 > 1:14:19Can I toss you for it?
1:14:20 > 1:14:24- Cos I always win if I toss for it. - OK. 50 or 60.
1:14:25 > 1:14:28My goodness, Philip's lost for words!
1:14:28 > 1:14:30Though not for long.
1:14:30 > 1:14:32You and I are in a very lucky position now,
1:14:32 > 1:14:35because you don't have to sell, I don't have to buy,
1:14:35 > 1:14:38but you'd like to sell and I'd like to buy.
1:14:38 > 1:14:41- Does that work out all right? - That sounds right.
1:14:41 > 1:14:43I think that's going to make £30 to £50 at auction,
1:14:43 > 1:14:46and I think this is going to make between 15 and 25.
1:14:46 > 1:14:50So the best I can give you is 50 quid.
1:14:50 > 1:14:52I'd love to buy it for that, but I can't give you any more.
1:14:52 > 1:14:56Call it 55. It's a good reduction on them.
1:14:56 > 1:14:58If you can say 50, I'll have them off you now.
1:14:58 > 1:15:00- Go on, then. - You're a gentleman, sir.
1:15:00 > 1:15:04Can you count that out? I think there's probably just 50 quid there.
1:15:04 > 1:15:08- Exactly. You had it all planned. - Right. Thank you.
1:15:08 > 1:15:12Catherine needs something that will absolutely kill at auction,
1:15:12 > 1:15:16and thanks to young Bob here, I think she's found it.
1:15:16 > 1:15:20Now, I am going straight for this.
1:15:20 > 1:15:22This is absolutely gorgeous!
1:15:22 > 1:15:27It's a little Gladstone bag, a little doctor's Gladstone bag,
1:15:27 > 1:15:30with an inkwell inside. Can you open it up for me,
1:15:30 > 1:15:32cos I'm just...
1:15:32 > 1:15:35- There you are.- Isn't that cute?
1:15:35 > 1:15:38- It's all there. - That is just the sweetest thing.
1:15:38 > 1:15:42I love things like this. This is probably - what, late Victorian?
1:15:42 > 1:15:45- I've just said 1800s.- 1800s, 1890?
1:15:45 > 1:15:48So it probably would have belonged to a doctor at one time.
1:15:48 > 1:15:51He would have had this on his... Now, on your ticket...
1:15:53 > 1:15:56..you are asking a staggering 155 for it.
1:15:56 > 1:15:59What would you be able to do on that?
1:15:59 > 1:16:01Not an awful lot. It was expensive.
1:16:01 > 1:16:04Best I could do would be 130.
1:16:07 > 1:16:10I'll be totally honest. I don't think I could pay more than 100.
1:16:10 > 1:16:13I don't think I could let it go for that.
1:16:13 > 1:16:16- I'd need more than that for it. - It would make me so happy,
1:16:16 > 1:16:20because I just absolutely love this.
1:16:20 > 1:16:23Genius. It's wonderful. It just...
1:16:23 > 1:16:25Ooh!
1:16:25 > 1:16:27Nothing compares to this now.
1:16:27 > 1:16:32Even at £130, that's almost every penny Catherine has.
1:16:32 > 1:16:34It's a bit of a gamble!
1:16:34 > 1:16:37Once I've got something in my head,
1:16:37 > 1:16:40like the inkwell, something really beautiful,
1:16:40 > 1:16:43I find it really hard to think about anything else,
1:16:43 > 1:16:46to look at anything else, cos I'm constantly thinking,
1:16:46 > 1:16:49"beautiful inkwell", and I can't concentrate on anything else.
1:16:49 > 1:16:52But I've got to really focus.
1:16:52 > 1:16:54But Catherine's not the only one tempted
1:16:54 > 1:16:58by Bob's gorgeous but rather expensive knickknacks.
1:16:58 > 1:17:01Philip's gone and found himself a naval sector.
1:17:03 > 1:17:07Now, I can't sell ivory unless it's pre-1947.
1:17:07 > 1:17:09- It's 19th century. - I would think it's 1850, 1860.
1:17:09 > 1:17:13- Something like that. - It's basically where you plot a map.
1:17:13 > 1:17:16A 19th-century sailor's satnav, isn't it,
1:17:16 > 1:17:19is the simplest way of putting it. You'd have been on your vessel,
1:17:19 > 1:17:24going around Cape Horn or wherever, and you'd have had your charts out,
1:17:24 > 1:17:28and this would have been used to work out or plot
1:17:28 > 1:17:31- where you were and what your route is.- That's right.
1:17:31 > 1:17:33It's 75, is it? What's the best you can do on that?
1:17:33 > 1:17:36I could do a bit more. I could do it for 45.
1:17:36 > 1:17:39For this game, I've got to try and give you 30 quid for it.
1:17:39 > 1:17:43- Why don't we split the difference and make it 35?- I'll give you 30,
1:17:43 > 1:17:47- cos I think it's fascinating.- OK. - And the real fun thing about this,
1:17:47 > 1:17:50it's really Catherine's thing. It'll be quite nice.
1:17:50 > 1:17:53It'll be really nice just to whip that from under her nose.
1:17:53 > 1:17:57I've only got one worry, and that's, like...
1:17:57 > 1:18:02Catherine Southon is a well known expert
1:18:02 > 1:18:04in marine and scientific instruments,
1:18:04 > 1:18:07and this was six inches under her nose.
1:18:07 > 1:18:09Why didn't she buy it?
1:18:09 > 1:18:11I hope it's not worrying time.
1:18:12 > 1:18:15Thank you ever so much. Bye-bye, now. Bye-bye.
1:18:15 > 1:18:20Actually, Catherine has other things weighing heavy on her mind.
1:18:20 > 1:18:24I absolutely love that little Gladstone-bag inkwell.
1:18:24 > 1:18:27It's beautiful. But I don't know whether to buy it
1:18:27 > 1:18:33and gamble with it, or just quit while I'm kind of ahead.
1:18:33 > 1:18:36Or you could always buy something else.
1:18:36 > 1:18:40Steven, hello. I'm just wondering about this, here.
1:18:40 > 1:18:43I'm interested in your little hip flask there.
1:18:43 > 1:18:46- Is that silver plate on the top? - I think it is,
1:18:46 > 1:18:49but it's a little cup, a telescopic cup.
1:18:49 > 1:18:52- That intrigues me.- Quite unusual. - So when you say it's telescopic...
1:18:52 > 1:18:56Oh, that's quite nice, isn't it? So you could have more
1:18:56 > 1:18:58than you bargained for. THEY LAUGH
1:18:58 > 1:19:03- What could you do on that? - £20, if you wanted to get that.
1:19:03 > 1:19:05Nice thing, nice condition.
1:19:05 > 1:19:09- Can you do 15 on it? - I'll stick on 20.
1:19:10 > 1:19:14- Can we meet halfway and say 18? - No, I'll stick on 20 on that.
1:19:14 > 1:19:16- It's a nice thing. - I'm happy with that.
1:19:16 > 1:19:19- Thank you. - I think that's a fair price.
1:19:19 > 1:19:21Thanks, Steven.
1:19:21 > 1:19:24Right, then. Time for our experts to reveal to each other
1:19:24 > 1:19:27what they've bought. The venue, a former parish church,
1:19:27 > 1:19:30now called Oran Mor, which means "the melody of life".
1:19:30 > 1:19:34This is a bit left-field, this,
1:19:34 > 1:19:36but I bought this kettle drum.
1:19:36 > 1:19:39Oh, my word!
1:19:39 > 1:19:42And it's by a Liverpool maker, and I just think it's wicked.
1:19:42 > 1:19:45My big question was, "Why?"
1:19:45 > 1:19:48- I think you can do a hundred and one things with it.- You can play it.
1:19:48 > 1:19:51But you can convert it into a table.
1:19:51 > 1:19:53I think that's fabulous, Philip.
1:19:53 > 1:19:56What I love is that you home in on something
1:19:56 > 1:19:58- that nobody else... - In their right mind.
1:19:58 > 1:20:01..in the whole world would look at.
1:20:01 > 1:20:03I think I pinched it, because it was £100.
1:20:03 > 1:20:06- I'd never buy it myself... - Would you not?
1:20:06 > 1:20:09- ..but I think it's brilliant. - Come on. Show me yours.
1:20:09 > 1:20:11Carrying on the music theme, this is an original.
1:20:11 > 1:20:15It's not your repro. It's 1960s. It's in terrible condition,
1:20:15 > 1:20:19- but for £7.50... - Does it work?- Course it does!
1:20:19 > 1:20:21- You mean -- We'll move on.
1:20:21 > 1:20:23If we're going to do the car-boot sale...
1:20:23 > 1:20:26- Oh, yeah. I saw this. - They're fairly "plane".
1:20:26 > 1:20:30- THEY LAUGH - And these were a fiver.
1:20:30 > 1:20:33- What do you think they'll make? - Ten to 20 quid.
1:20:33 > 1:20:36- Well, that's nice you say that, Phil. - Why's that, my love?
1:20:36 > 1:20:39- Because...- Oh, here we go. I think they're quite nice.
1:20:39 > 1:20:42What did you pay for these? Let me guess - £4.
1:20:42 > 1:20:44- Two, I think.- £2. Yeah, well.
1:20:44 > 1:20:47- You bought the better two. - I think I did.
1:20:47 > 1:20:50When you're not looking, I'm hoping to swap them over.
1:20:50 > 1:20:53- Why does that not surprise me? - Go on, then. What's next?
1:20:53 > 1:20:56HE RINGS BELL
1:20:56 > 1:20:59- That is loud! - But isn't that a great handle?
1:20:59 > 1:21:02If you're going to buy a bell, that's the one to buy.
1:21:02 > 1:21:04You are too young to remember, but when I started,
1:21:04 > 1:21:07- all auctioneers had a bell. - Oh, gosh!
1:21:07 > 1:21:11They'd ring it five minutes before the start of the sale. 20 quid!
1:21:11 > 1:21:13I like that. That is a loud clapper, though.
1:21:13 > 1:21:16Let's hope it goes like the clappers. What's next?
1:21:16 > 1:21:18- I bought these...- Yeah.
1:21:18 > 1:21:20..with these.
1:21:20 > 1:21:24Those have got "Southon" written all over them. Oh, those are lovely.
1:21:24 > 1:21:26- Isn't that nice?- Yeah.- Parallel rule,
1:21:26 > 1:21:30- but just look at those lovely hinges. - You're the expert.
1:21:30 > 1:21:34- I paid £22 for the two.- You completely robbed this poor person.
1:21:34 > 1:21:36- No, I haven't! - How do you sleep at night?
1:21:36 > 1:21:38Oh, you are... SHE SIGHS
1:21:38 > 1:21:40I bought this primarily because I thought,
1:21:40 > 1:21:45- if you do give me any trouble... - You going to whack me round the head?
1:21:45 > 1:21:48I'm going to beat you about the head and body with my truncheon.
1:21:48 > 1:21:51- OK. That's quite nice, actually. - Yeah.
1:21:51 > 1:21:53You probably paid about 40 quid for that.
1:21:53 > 1:21:55- I paid 30.- That's lovely.
1:21:55 > 1:21:58- You ready for this next one? - Go on, then.
1:21:58 > 1:22:02Don't you lean on my thing! It's an ivory sector.
1:22:02 > 1:22:07It would be used for plotting a chart if you were a naval officer.
1:22:07 > 1:22:09I can't see that there's a name on it.
1:22:09 > 1:22:11- Not yet.- Not yet!
1:22:11 > 1:22:12Give me time.
1:22:12 > 1:22:15- I think I saw this with about £70 on it.- You did.
1:22:15 > 1:22:18You saw it with £75 on it. And what bothers me...
1:22:18 > 1:22:22- Why did you not buy it? - Because it said £75 on it.
1:22:22 > 1:22:26- What do you think that will make? - About 40, 50 quid, probably.
1:22:26 > 1:22:28Oh, that's all right. I paid £30 for it.
1:22:28 > 1:22:31And you said I robbed this person?
1:22:31 > 1:22:34I haven't finished, because this is my favourite thing.
1:22:34 > 1:22:37Oh, that's sweet. Little hip flask, and the top opens up.
1:22:37 > 1:22:40- I've got one of these at home. - Do you like that?- I do. I love it.
1:22:40 > 1:22:45- I loved the quality of that. - What did you pay? 30, 40 quid?
1:22:45 > 1:22:48- 20.- And I think that's absolutely fantastic.
1:22:48 > 1:22:51- But is Paisley ready for that?- Mmm.
1:22:52 > 1:22:56It's been a hard-fought contest, but let's take the gloves off
1:22:56 > 1:22:59and find out what our experts really think.
1:22:59 > 1:23:02The radio - it's not my sort of thing.
1:23:02 > 1:23:06I was probably born a bit too soon to appreciate the finer points of the Bush radio.
1:23:06 > 1:23:10He's a little bit concerned about the kettle drum.
1:23:10 > 1:23:13- It is a completely risky item. - I could be in trouble,
1:23:13 > 1:23:16and if it doesn't do well, it's all back to square one.
1:23:16 > 1:23:19This could be my chance to take over.
1:23:19 > 1:23:22After teeing off in Perth, the second leg of this Road Trip
1:23:22 > 1:23:27comes to an end in Paisley. In the 19th century, it was renowned
1:23:27 > 1:23:30for being the centre of Britain's weaving industry,
1:23:30 > 1:23:32which is where Paisley, the fabric, gets its name.
1:23:32 > 1:23:36This is where it was originally produced.
1:23:36 > 1:23:40- That is stunning!- Looks like Thunderbird 4 up on the roof.
1:23:40 > 1:23:44But our next and final stop is the auction house
1:23:44 > 1:23:46of Collins & Paterson.
1:23:46 > 1:23:49I know you so well, and I know that with that drum,
1:23:49 > 1:23:53somehow that is probably going to double its money.
1:23:53 > 1:23:55- Oh, get in!- And then I will cry.
1:23:55 > 1:23:57I'll lend you my handkerchief.
1:23:57 > 1:24:01With a room full of canny Scots looking for a bargain,
1:24:01 > 1:24:04auctioneer Stephen Maxwell is about to kick things off,
1:24:04 > 1:24:08but first, how does he rate the chances of our experts?
1:24:08 > 1:24:11The star lot, for me, would have to be the kettle drum,
1:24:11 > 1:24:14a wee surprise. The most unusual item would be that flask
1:24:14 > 1:24:17with the telescopic lid. Haven't seen that one before.
1:24:17 > 1:24:20The vintage planes should sell at a price,
1:24:20 > 1:24:22albeit I wouldn't go booking a holiday
1:24:22 > 1:24:24off the back of the proceeds.
1:24:24 > 1:24:29Philip began this leg with £339.54,
1:24:29 > 1:24:33and has since spent £185 on five auction lots.
1:24:33 > 1:24:37As for Catherine, our Road Trip newcomer,
1:24:37 > 1:24:41she's been watching the pennies, and has spent just £51.50
1:24:41 > 1:24:43on four auction lots.
1:24:43 > 1:24:46So, without any more ado, let the auction begin.
1:24:49 > 1:24:51First up, it's Philip's naval sector.
1:24:51 > 1:24:54I got a horrible feeling of impending doom about this.
1:24:54 > 1:24:57We'll start here straight in. At £25, I have with me.
1:24:57 > 1:25:00That's only losing about eight quid.
1:25:00 > 1:25:03£30 with me. 32. 35 with me.
1:25:03 > 1:25:07Any advance at £35? We're selling, then.
1:25:07 > 1:25:10Fair warning at £35... Gone.
1:25:10 > 1:25:14A £5 profit before commission. Not the most promising of starts.
1:25:14 > 1:25:16Well done.
1:25:16 > 1:25:19- Oh, thanks for that! - SHE LAUGHS
1:25:19 > 1:25:22Next, it's Catherine's hip flask.
1:25:22 > 1:25:25Has she had a nip, do you think, or is she just dropping off?
1:25:25 > 1:25:28- Nice wee item, this.- Nice wee item!
1:25:28 > 1:25:31We'll start on commission at £20. I have with me £20.
1:25:31 > 1:25:3422. Thank you. 25. 28. 30 with me.
1:25:34 > 1:25:37- Come on!- You're out. With me at 30.
1:25:37 > 1:25:40- My commission bid at £30. Any advance on £30?- Come on!
1:25:40 > 1:25:42At 32 now for the hip flask. At 32.
1:25:42 > 1:25:45At £32...
1:25:45 > 1:25:48Not quite the price Catherine was hoping for,
1:25:48 > 1:25:51but a very respectable start.
1:25:52 > 1:25:57Philip's next lot is up, and I have to say, it certainly rings a bell!
1:25:57 > 1:25:59£20 I have with me. At £20.
1:25:59 > 1:26:03With me at 22. 25's on the net. With me at 28.
1:26:03 > 1:26:0528. Well done, Philip!
1:26:05 > 1:26:08And we're selling it at £28.
1:26:09 > 1:26:12Mmm! Maybe Philip's lucky streak is coming to an end.
1:26:12 > 1:26:17Could you wipe that really nasty smile off your face? We're in this together.
1:26:17 > 1:26:21Putting Catherine's maritime smarts to the test now,
1:26:21 > 1:26:24her dividers and parallel rule are coming up.
1:26:24 > 1:26:27A fair age, I would say, to the dividers, I have to say.
1:26:27 > 1:26:30We start here, on commission again, at £25.
1:26:30 > 1:26:32With me at £25.
1:26:32 > 1:26:35- £28 with me. At £28.- Come on!
1:26:35 > 1:26:38- It seems cheap at that, at 28. - Very cheap!
1:26:38 > 1:26:41£30, thank you. And £32. 35's on the net.
1:26:41 > 1:26:44- At £40. 42.- Keep going!
1:26:44 > 1:26:48- It's with me at £42. - Any more? Any more?
1:26:48 > 1:26:52We're selling, then. Fair warning, at £42...
1:26:52 > 1:26:55Ah, well, it's still a profit. So come on, Catherine.
1:26:55 > 1:26:57Pull yourself together, love.
1:26:57 > 1:27:01Time to see what the crowd make of Philip's truncheon.
1:27:01 > 1:27:04- I'm a bit nervous now. - It's nice condition, I have to say.
1:27:04 > 1:27:06We'll come straight in here.
1:27:06 > 1:27:09One commission at £25.
1:27:09 > 1:27:12With me at £25. 30's on there.
1:27:12 > 1:27:1432. Back with me. 35 now.
1:27:14 > 1:27:1838 with me. £38 here with me for the baton.
1:27:18 > 1:27:20At £38...
1:27:20 > 1:27:23I give up.
1:27:23 > 1:27:26- SHE LAUGHS - You are horrid to me!
1:27:26 > 1:27:29Now, this should be interesting.
1:27:29 > 1:27:33Both Philip and Catherine have bought a pair of box planes.
1:27:33 > 1:27:35But who will make the most money?
1:27:35 > 1:27:37Catherine's up first.
1:27:37 > 1:27:39I really hope they've got them muddled up,
1:27:39 > 1:27:43because yours were far better than mine, the junky ones I bought.
1:27:43 > 1:27:45- What can we say about these? - This will be funny.
1:27:45 > 1:27:47Do I have £18? Do I have 15?
1:27:47 > 1:27:49- 18. Come on!- 18, thank you.
1:27:49 > 1:27:52I'd love it if mine make more than yours.
1:27:52 > 1:27:5525's on them. 28 with me.
1:27:55 > 1:27:5830 now. That has it, at £30.
1:27:58 > 1:28:00At £30...
1:28:00 > 1:28:03A £28 profit. Not bad at all,
1:28:03 > 1:28:06but can our resident jammy old devil do better?
1:28:06 > 1:28:09Watch and learn, Philip Serrell. Watch and learn.
1:28:09 > 1:28:14- £20 I have. With me at £20. - I don't want them to make 30.
1:28:14 > 1:28:18- Do I have 25? I have £28. - Oh, please don't make 30.
1:28:18 > 1:28:21- Back in, £30. - SHE SIGHS
1:28:21 > 1:28:23I still make more profit than you.
1:28:23 > 1:28:25At £30...
1:28:25 > 1:28:28- PHILIP LAUGHS - Don't look at me like that.
1:28:28 > 1:28:31- You're really horrible. - Well, you started it.
1:28:31 > 1:28:34So far Catherine has the lead at this auction,
1:28:34 > 1:28:39but how will the bidders react to her worse-for-wear Bush radio?
1:28:39 > 1:28:41- Still in working order... - Working order.
1:28:41 > 1:28:45It's in fine condition, as well. With me at £20 on commission.
1:28:45 > 1:28:4822. Thank you. 25 with me.
1:28:48 > 1:28:51- And 30. With me at 30. - 30. Come on, bit more.
1:28:51 > 1:28:55- 35. At £35.- Well done, love.
1:28:55 > 1:28:57At £35...
1:28:57 > 1:29:01Well, that's the last time I pooh-pooh a car-boot sale.
1:29:01 > 1:29:04Gosh! Before commission, Catherine's just made £27.
1:29:04 > 1:29:09- That's good.- You, my love, are right back up there, aren't you?
1:29:09 > 1:29:14Last, but certainly not least, it's Philip's quirkiest purchase yet,
1:29:14 > 1:29:16the kettle drum.
1:29:16 > 1:29:21If your drum does really well, I am just going to be so cross!
1:29:21 > 1:29:24- Why?- Because it doesn't deserve to.
1:29:24 > 1:29:26How dare you?
1:29:26 > 1:29:31A very attractive item here is the kettle drum here.
1:29:31 > 1:29:33- Again, a lot of interest here. - A lot?!
1:29:33 > 1:29:35310. At £150 with me.
1:29:35 > 1:29:37- SHE GROANS - 150 I have.
1:29:37 > 1:29:39Do I have 160? 160.
1:29:39 > 1:29:42- He's going to turn it. - 180's on the net.
1:29:42 > 1:29:44190's with me. 200 is on the net.
1:29:44 > 1:29:48- 220 is with me.- How do you do it?
1:29:48 > 1:29:52Still with me at 220. I think we're all done. We're selling, then.
1:29:52 > 1:29:56- Well done, Philip. - Fair warning at £220...
1:29:56 > 1:30:00Cor, Philip Serrell - a man marching to the beat of his own drum,
1:30:00 > 1:30:03and making a profit of £120.
1:30:03 > 1:30:08Inside I'm crying, but outside I'm smiling.
1:30:08 > 1:30:10Well, what an auction, eh?
1:30:10 > 1:30:13Catherine started with £186.90,
1:30:13 > 1:30:18and after auction costs has made a profit of £62.48,
1:30:18 > 1:30:23giving her £249.38 to spend tomorrow.
1:30:23 > 1:30:27Philip, meanwhile, started with £339.54,
1:30:27 > 1:30:32and after auction costs, he's up £102.82.
1:30:32 > 1:30:39So with £442.36 now in the kitty, he's still firmly in the lead.
1:30:39 > 1:30:41I would take it off to you, Phil Serrell.
1:30:41 > 1:30:45- You are one cool cookie. - Not a gun to shoot me, eh?
1:30:45 > 1:30:47- Not a gun.- You'll be fine.
1:30:47 > 1:30:50Listen, this can just turn in one moment.
1:30:50 > 1:30:53It ain't over till it's over, and there's a long way to go yet.
1:30:53 > 1:30:56Well, the fat man hasn't started singing yet.
1:30:56 > 1:30:58- Ready?- Left.- Whoo!
1:30:58 > 1:31:00- I don't know why I'm so happy. - I don't, either.
1:31:00 > 1:31:03You just made mincemeat out of me.
1:31:03 > 1:31:05Must be tablet. Next time on the Antiques Road Trip,
1:31:05 > 1:31:09we're headed to the Borders, where Phil's watching the pennies.
1:31:09 > 1:31:11There's 5p on the floor. I'll toss you for it.
1:31:11 > 1:31:14- It's superglued down. - THEY LAUGH
1:31:14 > 1:31:17- Catherine's... - SHE MOANS
1:31:17 > 1:31:19..paralysed with indecision.
1:31:19 > 1:31:22- I might turn away and regret this. - You probably will.
1:31:22 > 1:31:24Oh, don't say that!
1:31:24 > 1:31:28And the competition reaches fever pitch!
1:31:28 > 1:31:32It's mine. I said I'd have it, and I've got it.
