0:00:02 > 0:00:06The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200, and one big challenge...

0:00:06 > 0:00:07I'm here to declare war.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09Why?

0:00:09 > 0:00:13Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?

0:00:13 > 0:00:16- This is hard. - The aim is to trade up

0:00:16 > 0:00:19- and hope each antique turns a profit.- Come on!

0:00:19 > 0:00:21But it's not as easy as you might think

0:00:21 > 0:00:24- and things don't always go to plan. - Push!

0:00:24 > 0:00:29- Will they race off with a huge profit or come to a grinding halt? - Whose side are you on?

0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.

0:00:35 > 0:00:39While not exactly faster than a speeding bullet,

0:00:39 > 0:00:41our antique superheroes,

0:00:41 > 0:00:45Catherine Southon and Philip Serrell are racing through Scotland.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49Isn't this glorious countryside? They've got their own breed of cow.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52- You are full of wonderful facts! - Or rubbish!

0:00:52 > 0:00:56You said it. Their mission - buy low, sell high,

0:00:56 > 0:00:59and do whatever it takes to beat each other come auction time.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03It's not fair. You are well ahead! I have to beat you.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07So far this week, Philip's 35 years of experience

0:01:07 > 0:01:11have led him to make choices which are really quite mad.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15- There's every chance that everybody else will think I'm bonkers. - What can I say?

0:01:15 > 0:01:18But much to Catherine's consternation,

0:01:18 > 0:01:21he's cleaned up at auction not once,

0:01:21 > 0:01:23but twice!

0:01:23 > 0:01:27Which is why the £200 he started the week with

0:01:27 > 0:01:32has now grown into an impressive £442.36.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36I'm going to turn it all around and today is going to be the day!

0:01:36 > 0:01:41Meanwhile, newcomer Catherine Southon has employed various strategies

0:01:41 > 0:01:43in order to beat her middle-aged nemesis.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45She's been feisty.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Give this poor man some more money! - Whose side are you on?- Not yours!

0:01:49 > 0:01:54- She's been cheeky.- Does your daughter give better prices?

0:01:54 > 0:01:58And she's been up to no good at a car-boot sale in Perth.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01When Phil Serrell comes up, double your prices.

0:02:01 > 0:02:08But even so, her initial £200 stake has only increased by £49.38.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12That means Philip's £200 in the lead! Wow!

0:02:12 > 0:02:17- I'm going to be seriously competitive now. - I can't stand competitive women!

0:02:18 > 0:02:23This week's road trip is taking us from the north-east of Scotland, across the border to England,

0:02:23 > 0:02:27through the Lake District and onto Liverpool.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Today, we're kicking off in Glenluce,

0:02:29 > 0:02:33a small village in the county of Dumfries and Galloway,

0:02:33 > 0:02:36and we'll end this leg with an auction in Carlisle.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Without a doubt, Glenluce is the perfect place to get away from it all.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45This is literally in the middle of nowhere!

0:02:45 > 0:02:48But it's also home to Dervaird Farm,

0:02:48 > 0:02:52the rugged and rural location of The Glenluce Antiques Centre.

0:02:52 > 0:02:58Antiques Farm! That doesn't look very promising, does it?!

0:02:58 > 0:03:03- You are going to find something here.- I'm going to find my treasure. - Yes.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Ciao.- God bless, darling. - See you later. Wish me luck.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Well, not too much.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12This family business began in Wales,

0:03:12 > 0:03:17but 23 years ago, the Jones family were so impressed by a holiday in south-west Scotland,

0:03:17 > 0:03:21they decided to move lock, stock and barrel to Glenluce,

0:03:21 > 0:03:23and today, their son Chris runs the show.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26This is a fine place you've got here.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28DOG YAPS Whoo!

0:03:28 > 0:03:33- I might have to buy him. Is he for sale?- We could work out a price!

0:03:33 > 0:03:34He's lovely.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Right, I'm in desperate need of a bargain.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41They're quite unusual, the old slides.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45These are the lantern slides that you drop into the magic lantern

0:03:45 > 0:03:47and then you project it onto the screen.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50They're quite interesting.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54The magic lantern was a great favourite of the Victorians.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Originally powered by candlelight,

0:03:57 > 0:04:01it projected images from fairy tales to striptease,

0:04:01 > 0:04:05although there's nothing saucy here, I fancy.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09They're all of dinosaurs. How many have you got?

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Probably 20 of them, I think.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13How much did you want for these?

0:04:13 > 0:04:1450 on the set.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17- 50?!- £50.- Oh, wow.

0:04:17 > 0:04:22Some of them can fetch that each. We sold one last year for £300.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Really?- Just one slide.- What was that an image of?- An erotic image!

0:04:26 > 0:04:32Well, that's the thing! All these naughty ones are the ones people want!

0:04:32 > 0:04:35But these ones, I think I'd be taking a bit of a risk.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39I couldn't do any more than 20, I don't think.

0:04:39 > 0:04:4125. That'll give you a chance. How's that?

0:04:41 > 0:04:44- I don't think I could go any more than 20.- Go on, then.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47- I'll do it for 20.- £20.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49- That'll give you a good chance. - Deal.- That's a deal.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52But Catherine's not finished yet.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Pate mould, anyone?

0:04:54 > 0:04:56That is quite nice with the grouse on it.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59I could do you £10.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02I think ten is still going to be a bit hard for me.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Am I your worst customer? - Today, so far, yes.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09I'm the only customer so far today!

0:05:09 > 0:05:12In the nearby market town of Newton Stewart,

0:05:12 > 0:05:14known as the "Gateway to the Galloway Hills",

0:05:14 > 0:05:18Philip's en route to the Douglas House Antique Centre.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21I've got a feeling I'm going to do all right in here.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23I've got £440 to spend

0:05:23 > 0:05:26and I'm going to see if I can get some spent.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Oops!- Steady!

0:05:28 > 0:05:31I got a prick in the leg!

0:05:31 > 0:05:35Mustn't grumble. After all, there's plenty to choose from in this lovely shop,

0:05:35 > 0:05:39and young Dave is only too happy to take Philip's money.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43Perhaps you could do me a favour? That contraption on the top there,

0:05:43 > 0:05:46- would it be possible to have a look at it?- Yes, no problem.

0:05:46 > 0:05:51Actually, that contraption is a wool winder.

0:05:52 > 0:05:57I think it's quite heavy, actually! How do I get this down?

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Well, it was!

0:06:00 > 0:06:04- Ooh! - HE LAUGHS

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Now it's broken! Perhaps Philip can negotiate a discount!

0:06:09 > 0:06:14What happens is, you put spools or reels of wool on there,

0:06:14 > 0:06:19and then they come up there, through there, on there,

0:06:19 > 0:06:22and then you turn this, and as you turn it,

0:06:22 > 0:06:25it measures, I think, the length of yarn.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29- Yes.- And when you've got to the appropriate length...

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- BELL RINGS - ..that bell rings, doesn't it?- Yes.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35This one is in awful condition.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Because this ebonised handle is split.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42The base has just gone to the dogs.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46I'm going to have to be mean. Really, really, really mean.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Sounds like it's going to hurt. - It is going to hurt.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52In my eyes, it's 20 quid, in the condition it's in.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56That would be your best offer, would it?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Dave, come here. Just come and stand by me a second.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01I don't say that to many men.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Hello!

0:07:04 > 0:07:07I'm going to think about that. I like that a lot.

0:07:07 > 0:07:12Much like Philip, Catherine's reluctant to put her hand in her pocket.

0:07:12 > 0:07:18So now Chris is trying to seduce her with Lalique. That's glassware, by the way.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Is it Rene or is it after? - I think it's probably after.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25It's a big old lump of Lalique. I was told it was '50s.

0:07:25 > 0:07:32I do like Lalique, but I love the pieces with the fish or the birds or something like that.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36- You like the £3,000 pieces?- I do! It doesn't do an awful lot for me.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- That's something to throw at a burglar.- I don't know about that!

0:07:39 > 0:07:45Rene Lalique was a French designer and manufacturer famous for his glass creations,

0:07:45 > 0:07:48from perfume bottles to chandeliers to car mascots.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Despite his death in 1945,

0:07:50 > 0:07:54the company he named after himself continues to flourish.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57What did you say on that? 320.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01- I could do you a bit better on that. - No, what did I tell you I had?!

0:08:01 > 0:08:04The very best I could do on that is 140.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08- It is in perfect nick, isn't it? - It is in perfect condition.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Could it be 100?- It couldn't.

0:08:11 > 0:08:16The very, very, very best on it would be 130.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Can I think?- You can. - Can I think about that one?

0:08:20 > 0:08:23I'll maybe throw a couple of things together, get a deal going.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Will we?- You never know. - I like it.- We live in hope.

0:08:27 > 0:08:33Inspired to carry on shopping, Catherine's next object of interest is a unusual paperweight.

0:08:33 > 0:08:38That is a section out of the cable that runs from Great Britain to America.

0:08:38 > 0:08:43- The first radio cable.- Oh, right! - That's actually a cross section of the cable.

0:08:43 > 0:08:48- That's where your signal would go through. - I find that quite interesting.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51The thing is with something like that, it's an unusual piece.

0:08:51 > 0:08:56Somebody likes it on their desk because they can relay the story back to a friend.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58- That's it!- It's a talking point.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02- I love things like this! - Just something different. - Real conversation pieces.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06- How much do you want for this? - It could be a tenner.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Can it be five?- It can be £5.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Can it be less than five? - It can't be less than five.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Can you polish it up for me, as well?!- I could do!

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Do you want me to get a bit of wire wool and do it now?

0:09:19 > 0:09:23If you could find a couple of bidders for it, that would be helpful!

0:09:23 > 0:09:27They are getting on well! While you're at it, a cheaper price on you-know-what.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31OK, so it all comes down to this lump. Ohhh...!

0:09:31 > 0:09:34The ball is in your court, as they say.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36SHE GROANS

0:09:38 > 0:09:42I don't know whether to go for it. I am the most indecisive person.

0:09:42 > 0:09:47- Can we say 100 and I'll go for it? - I can't do it, honestly.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49I don't think I will, actually.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51- I might turn away and regret this. - You probably will.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Don't say that! - I'm not bothered either way.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56While Catherine's in all of a dither,

0:09:56 > 0:10:01Philip is completely focused on a very Scottish collectable.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04I've seen a quite a few bits of Mauchline.

0:10:04 > 0:10:10Mauchline is this transfer-printed little woodware and this is a little moneybox.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12We've got another bit in here.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16This is like an original piece of Mauchline Ware

0:10:16 > 0:10:18and it's of Morecambe New Pier.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21It would've had a little tot glass in it, wouldn't it?

0:10:21 > 0:10:26And the age of these is probably around about 1900 and 1905.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Named after the town it was made in,

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Mauchline was produced from the 1820s onwards

0:10:31 > 0:10:34and was sold all over the world,

0:10:34 > 0:10:37though production came to an abrupt halt in 1933

0:10:37 > 0:10:39when the factory burnt to the ground.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41I've got to come to some decisions here.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44Can you take my £20 on that contraption?

0:10:44 > 0:10:47I was hoping for 40.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50I'll give you 25 for it. That's it, me finished.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Go on, then. - OK, you're a gentleman on that one.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57I want to bid you £20 again for the two of those.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Ooh, heck! - It's a hard day, this, isn't it?

0:11:00 > 0:11:03What if I gave you £50 for the whole lot?

0:11:03 > 0:11:07- OK.- All right?- We'll go for that. - You're a gentleman. Thank you.

0:11:07 > 0:11:12I'd better count some money out, hadn't I? This is the painful bit.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Lovely. Having walked away from the Lalique,

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Catherine's back on the prowl for something offbeat.

0:11:18 > 0:11:22- This is quite wacky. He's ebony. - It's quite nice, actually.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26He's got a comical look to him, just laid there on the mud.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30I know! You almost feel sorry for him. What do you want for this?

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Well, I was going to ask you 40, but then I thought 30,

0:11:34 > 0:11:37but then I thought better to ask you 20,

0:11:37 > 0:11:42- since you're in a needy position. - Dire straits!- A needy position!

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Ten is good.

0:11:44 > 0:11:4615 and we'd have a deal.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Ten? And we'd have a really good deal, Chris.

0:11:49 > 0:11:50- Go on, then. £10.- Yes!

0:11:50 > 0:11:54I think Philip would like that, actually. He likes wood.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57It maybe looks like him on a hot day.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Rude! So that's three lots in the one store.

0:12:00 > 0:12:05But far from being content, our girl can't help thinking about the Lalique that got away.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07I don't know what to do.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10- You've spent, what, £35 out here? - Mm.

0:12:10 > 0:12:15So if we was to say... £150 on the lot?

0:12:15 > 0:12:20Right, then. We're down to £115 for the dish, Catherine. What's it to be?

0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Shall we have one more look at it? - We'll have another look.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Come on, Charlie.- Come on, Charlie. Two barks for yes, one for no. - That's it.

0:12:30 > 0:12:35Oh, this is... This is hard. This is hard.

0:12:35 > 0:12:39This is hard, isn't it? Because I need to spend a lot of money.

0:12:39 > 0:12:44Right, I'm going before I... I'm going to crack up.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48But one wag and three-and-a-half seconds later...

0:12:48 > 0:12:53This is my proposition to you. £135 for everything.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55That's pretty good.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58140 and we'll do a deal. That's another fiver.

0:13:00 > 0:13:05- Wish me luck.- Good luck. I think you'll do all right.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08I hope you do, anyway, or it'll make me look bad!

0:13:08 > 0:13:12How sweet! Now, we have the magic lantern slides,

0:13:12 > 0:13:14the paperweight, the hippo

0:13:14 > 0:13:15and the Lalique dish.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19What more could a girl ask for?

0:13:19 > 0:13:24- Chris! Chris!- Yes? - You know that pate thing?- Right?

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- How much did you say that was? - £10 I can do that for.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28£10...

0:13:29 > 0:13:34- As we've done quite a lot of business here...- Right. - ..can we go a bit lower?

0:13:34 > 0:13:38- How's a fiver?- How's £1?

0:13:38 > 0:13:42- Seeing as you've bought everything, £1 will do it.- There we are. - Thank you.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Thank you.- I love it here!

0:13:44 > 0:13:47Even though he has much to do on the shopping front,

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Philip's off to Whithorn,

0:13:49 > 0:13:52a town famous for being the final resting place

0:13:52 > 0:13:55of Scotland's first saint, St Ninian.

0:13:55 > 0:14:01Despite the common belief that Christianity first arrived on Scottish shores

0:14:01 > 0:14:04during the fifth century on the island of Iona,

0:14:04 > 0:14:07a century earlier, it was actually St Ninian

0:14:07 > 0:14:11who founded the first Christian community right here in Whithorn.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Since then, kings and commoners alike

0:14:14 > 0:14:18have made many a pilgrimage to this very spot.

0:14:18 > 0:14:24And now it's Philip's turn, as he pays a visit to the Whithorn Priory & Museum.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28- You must be Gary.- Hello. - How are you? All right?

0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Blimey, this is something else, isn't it?- It is.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34One of the finest collections of carved stone in Scotland.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38Amongst this unique collection of sculpted stone and grave markers,

0:14:38 > 0:14:43some of which are up to 1,500 years old, is the Latinus Stone.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Dating back to 450 AD,

0:14:45 > 0:14:48this Christian memorial confirms Whithorn

0:14:48 > 0:14:51as Scotland's first Christian community.

0:14:51 > 0:14:57- This is the oldest lump of stone. - It's the oldest Christian stone. - That's fantastic.

0:14:57 > 0:15:02- It may look very faded, but we can read it really well. - Go on, then.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04"We praise you, the Lord!

0:15:04 > 0:15:09"Latinus, descendant of Barravados, aged 35,

0:15:09 > 0:15:12"and his daughter, aged 4, made a sign here."

0:15:12 > 0:15:15- What does it say in Latin? - I don't speak Latin!

0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Shall I tell you?- A dead language! - Let me see if I can remember.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21"Te Dominum Laudamus Latinus

0:15:21 > 0:15:25"Annorum..." Sorry, it's at the back, I can't quite read that bit!

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Come on.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30- What a fake! What a fraud! - What a wag!

0:15:30 > 0:15:33While the Latinus Stone started as a memorial,

0:15:33 > 0:15:37it ended up part of the walls of Whithorn's medieval cathedral,

0:15:37 > 0:15:40which used to house St Ninian's remains.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Today, only the underground crypt is still intact.

0:15:43 > 0:15:49This was a massive cathedral. It served the whole of south-west Scotland.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53It was where the Bishops of Galloway sat. There's not an awful lot left of it.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57These are the Bishop's Graves

0:15:57 > 0:16:00and these were discovered above your head.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Above our head? Graves?

0:16:02 > 0:16:07There's burials below you and burials above you.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14So, we're in the middle of a graveyard?

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Literally in the middle of a graveyard?

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Smack bang in the middle.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20As for St Ninian himself,

0:16:20 > 0:16:24his remains have mysteriously gone missing.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27So, you've never found Ninian's tomb?

0:16:27 > 0:16:30There was only basically an arm bone left.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34He'd been worn away to an arm bone.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39James IV commissioned a reliquary to hold the arm bone,

0:16:39 > 0:16:42and it stayed here until the Reformation.

0:16:42 > 0:16:49And then this bejewelled box was taken to France for safety,

0:16:49 > 0:16:52where, as far as we know, it was safe

0:16:52 > 0:16:55until the French Revolution.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57And after that...

0:16:57 > 0:17:02While Philip explores 16 centuries of Christian history,

0:17:02 > 0:17:05a few streets away, Catherine has a dilemma -

0:17:05 > 0:17:06quit while she's ahead

0:17:06 > 0:17:11or just buy one teensy-weensy little extra item.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13This is fab.

0:17:13 > 0:17:18This could be used as something to really annoy my driving partner.

0:17:18 > 0:17:23Or it could be used as it's supposed to be used, which is a pickle fork.

0:17:23 > 0:17:24Isn't it fab?

0:17:24 > 0:17:31It's 1930s, it's guilloche enamel, which is engine-turned,

0:17:31 > 0:17:33and it's this lovely pale blue,

0:17:33 > 0:17:38which is very typical of that period, the 1930s.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40I think that's really, really nice.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43What's the price on it? £12.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47But it's dead posh, this. I really like it.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50I'm going to have a little think about that.

0:17:50 > 0:17:55With £100 in the kitty, a posh pickle-grabber isn't going to break the bank,

0:17:55 > 0:17:59but an hour later, Catherine still isn't sure what to do.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03Wanting lots of lovely things here. This is not good!

0:18:05 > 0:18:08SHE HUMS IN CONTEMPLATION

0:18:08 > 0:18:10I'm having such an indecisive day today.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Well, you do, don't you?

0:18:12 > 0:18:16Glen's best price on the pickle grabber is £9.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Will you go down a bit more if I pinch you?

0:18:18 > 0:18:23- Yes.- We can?- We can go to eight. - We can go to eight?- Absolutely.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Finally, we have a deal. Or do we?

0:18:26 > 0:18:29If you could just put it on one side for me at £8

0:18:29 > 0:18:33and I'm going to think on that one.

0:18:34 > 0:18:39- Catherine!- About time!- Come on. - I am freezing, Philip!- Shush!

0:18:39 > 0:18:42I wish this thing had a heater.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Let's get it going.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Ah, well. Still, a good day shopping.

0:18:47 > 0:18:52And there's just enough time left to enjoy the balmy Scottish summer!

0:18:54 > 0:18:57With the sun absolutely nowhere in sight,

0:18:57 > 0:19:02our intrepid duo are once again touring the B roads of Scotland.

0:19:02 > 0:19:07Right, today, I want you just to buy pretty, lovely things.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Moi, do pretty?- Yes!

0:19:09 > 0:19:13So far this leg, Philip's off to a rather slow start.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15He's only spent £50

0:19:15 > 0:19:20and still has another £390 hiding in a wallet that seldom sees daylight.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22- Do me a favour.- What?

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Don't buy anything... INDISTINCT

0:19:25 > 0:19:29Catherine, on the other hand, is a woman possessed.

0:19:29 > 0:19:34She's spent £141, has five auction lots ready to go

0:19:34 > 0:19:37and still has a pickle grabber on hold,

0:19:37 > 0:19:40which leaves her £108 in the kitty.

0:19:40 > 0:19:44Gretna Green! Shall we go and get married?

0:19:44 > 0:19:47- SHE LAUGHS - Mm. Bigamy...

0:19:47 > 0:19:50After the ceremony, Philip and Catherine's next stop

0:19:50 > 0:19:53is the small market town of Castle Douglas.

0:19:53 > 0:19:58- What do we know about Castle Douglas? - It's a castle where Douglas lives.

0:20:01 > 0:20:07Actually, it was founded in 1792 by a very wealthy descendant of the Douglas clan

0:20:07 > 0:20:10and its layout is based on Edinburgh's New Town.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13Despite the name, there isn't a castle in sight.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17I'm conscious that I've got a lot of money to spend.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21So spend it, Philip! Break the habit of a lifetime!

0:20:21 > 0:20:24Following Catherine's advice, Philip's off to the High Street.

0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Morning! Am I all right to have a look round?- Please do!

0:20:28 > 0:20:31A lady with a duster - that's a dangerous thing, isn't it?

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Very necessary in here.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36So as Anne continues to dust her knick-knacks,

0:20:36 > 0:20:39Philip's search for the daft and the different continues.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42What will he come up with today?

0:20:42 > 0:20:47This is a very simple cutlery box, or cutlery tray or knife tray.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50This looks like it's made out of mahogany.

0:20:50 > 0:20:56It's probably about 1865, 1870.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59It's a Plain Jane. If there was a beauty pageant, this would not win.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03The thing is, in this business, you've got to think laterally.

0:21:03 > 0:21:08You put a bottle of wine in there, it becomes a wine carrier to your table.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12What a cool thing that is. That's what people do with these.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16Because a Georgian wine carrier

0:21:16 > 0:21:19is worth hundreds or thousands of pounds

0:21:19 > 0:21:21if it's a seriously good one.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23He's not just a pretty face, you know.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26But can he get a deal from Anne of the Duster?

0:21:26 > 0:21:29The lowest I could go would be 30.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33Can you meet me halfway and I'll have it? £25.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Right.- Is that all right?- Yes. - You're an angel. Thank you.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Do I get two bottles of wine with it, as well?- Ohh!

0:21:39 > 0:21:43- Don't push your luck! - That's a fair request!

0:21:43 > 0:21:47- If you get them, I'll put them in! - I know what I am going to do.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49No, he's not off to the pub.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53He's off on the scrounge at the restaurant across the road.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Chancing it a bit really.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Hello.- Hello. How are you?- Good. - You must be Carlo.- Yes.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Pleased to meet you. - I'm after a favour.- Of course.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Can I scrounge two empty wine bottles?

0:22:06 > 0:22:10- No problem.- Have you got any I could try? What a good man.

0:22:10 > 0:22:16- They might be too big.- Look at that! - Absolutely perfect.- Look at that!

0:22:16 > 0:22:18That's what I call a wine-bottle carrier.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21That's a good wine. Somebody drank it.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23- You're a star.- You're welcome.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Thank you, my love, you're an absolute angel.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Take care. See you soon! Bye!

0:22:28 > 0:22:31What a smoothie.

0:22:31 > 0:22:36Just six miles down the road, Catherine's popped into the small but busy town of Dalbeattie,

0:22:36 > 0:22:40which, despite its size, boasts its own museum

0:22:40 > 0:22:43representing more than 300 years of local history.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47This eclectic collection was put together by a much-loved local,

0:22:47 > 0:22:5075-year-old Tommy Henderson.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53FAIGROUND-STYLE MUSIC

0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Hello!- Hello! Are you coming in for a wee look?- Wonderful!

0:22:56 > 0:22:59- I'm Catherine.- I'm Tommy. - Hello, Tommy.

0:22:59 > 0:23:04- I'm the man responsible for this place.- Are you? - Aye. It was a dream come true.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Did you start it? - I started it 25 years ago.

0:23:07 > 0:23:11- What drove you? - I was a collector of objet d'art,

0:23:11 > 0:23:16and my wife's cupboards were getting too full, so we had to do something.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19What you'll see through here is, we've been built by the volunteers.

0:23:19 > 0:23:25- And the objects you get are donated? - It's all donated, except this.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29FAIRGROUND MUSIC

0:23:29 > 0:23:33- All the children get playing this. - I bet.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39SHE HUMS ALONG

0:23:39 > 0:23:43Everybody that comes in... And they sit on my bear, as well.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47Despite there being thousands of objects,

0:23:47 > 0:23:51not only does Tommy know each and every one intimately...

0:23:51 > 0:23:54You've got butter pots here. This is the shovel with the holes.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Don't forget our wee milk bottle.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00..there's usually a story attached.

0:24:00 > 0:24:05One of the very first items that was handed in was this washing machine.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Found in an outhouse.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11We have since discovered that it's over 100 years old.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14It's hard to believe it's still working.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Is it?

0:24:16 > 0:24:18MACHINE WHIRRS Wow!

0:24:18 > 0:24:22And there's the Titanic exhibit!

0:24:22 > 0:24:27As it turns out, the ship's first officer, William McMaster Murdoch,

0:24:27 > 0:24:29was a Dalbeattie man.

0:24:29 > 0:24:34If you remember in the last film, that's the gentleman they made look like a coward.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37- And he was a local? - He lived 100 yards down the road.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41We know for a fact that he was our local hero.

0:24:41 > 0:24:46So his cousins took the film people to task,

0:24:46 > 0:24:49and we got a £5,000 apology

0:24:49 > 0:24:53to say sorry to his family for defamation of character.

0:24:53 > 0:24:58And the apology letter takes pride of place in the collection.

0:24:58 > 0:25:03"In the minds and hearts of the filmmakers and audiences all over the world,

0:25:03 > 0:25:08"Officer Murdoch is one of the film's most humane, selfless

0:25:08 > 0:25:10"and sensitively-drawn characters."

0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Thank you very much.- Interesting.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15- That was our local hero.- Mm-hm.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17For two decades now,

0:25:17 > 0:25:22Tommy has been sharing his passion for history with visitors from around the world.

0:25:22 > 0:25:27In June 2009, his hard work was quite rightly recognised

0:25:27 > 0:25:30with the Queen's Award for Voluntary Services.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33I didn't realise half the town had wrote in

0:25:33 > 0:25:36- to put me and the museum forward. - Oh, wow!

0:25:36 > 0:25:42I had no idea. It was the biggest surprise of my life when the Lord Lieutenant walked in that door.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44- You could've picked me up off the floor.- Really?

0:25:44 > 0:25:48That's the first recognition we've ever had in Dumfries and Galloway.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52- You must be so proud of that. - Very proud.

0:25:52 > 0:25:56And so you should be, because it's wonderful. And you're a wonderful man.

0:25:56 > 0:26:00It's been a real pleasure. Thanks. It's been tremendous.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08Back in Castle Douglas, Philip's happened upon another hidden gem,

0:26:08 > 0:26:11also known as AD Livingston & Sons,

0:26:11 > 0:26:14makers and restorers of fine furniture.

0:26:14 > 0:26:19- Mr Livingston, I presume? - I've never heard that before. - I'm sure you haven't!

0:26:19 > 0:26:21But at least he's not called Stanley.

0:26:21 > 0:26:25- How much is your lacquered chair? - That, £145.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28- 145.- I have a pair. There's another one up there.

0:26:28 > 0:26:33- How much is that?- That would be 120. - Really?- Aye.

0:26:33 > 0:26:34Well, it's a fair price.

0:26:34 > 0:26:39But did we mention Philip's looking to spend around £5?

0:26:39 > 0:26:42If you're as good at restoration as you are on pricing,

0:26:42 > 0:26:44you'll make a fortune!

0:26:44 > 0:26:46There's 5p on the floor!

0:26:46 > 0:26:50- I'll toss you for it. - It's super-glued down!

0:26:50 > 0:26:53- These things are fantastic, aren't they?- Yes.

0:26:54 > 0:26:58They came out of an old-style decorator's workshop in Dumfries.

0:26:58 > 0:27:03Either for creating a scumble effect on painted doors and the like,

0:27:03 > 0:27:08or perhaps they were for creating wallpaper in situ. I'm not 100 percent sure.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11A scumble effect is when you've got a pine panelling in a house

0:27:11 > 0:27:15and you would paint it, and, well, this is cheating a bit,

0:27:15 > 0:27:19you'd roll these up to make it look like it's grained oak.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22The real skill is to hand-paint it.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25- It's down to money.- Of course. That's the point of the exercise.

0:27:25 > 0:27:30- How much have you got them priced at?- The whole lot is £45. - Can you do a deal on that?

0:27:30 > 0:27:35- The deal... - Because that's sort of like...

0:27:35 > 0:27:38I'll just have a quiet word and explain the way this works.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41What happens is, you have a price, and it's best price,

0:27:41 > 0:27:44- and then it comes down a bit. - Yes. Sure.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46- That's my best price.- Is it? - And it's a very good price.

0:27:46 > 0:27:51However, what would I let you have them... I'd let you have the set for 35.

0:27:51 > 0:27:55- £30 wouldn't buy them, would it? - Are you offering me £30?- Yes.- OK.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58- Done?- Yes.- OK. - Thank you.- I like those.

0:27:58 > 0:28:02Just as well, because with that, it's tatty-bye to Castle Douglas.

0:28:02 > 0:28:07Although, just a few miles down the road, Catherine has a sudden epiphany.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11I keep thinking about the pickle fork that I saw yesterday.

0:28:11 > 0:28:15It's one of those things that... I've got to have it.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18I knew she'd go back for it.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21All that fuss and she got it for £8. I ask you!

0:28:22 > 0:28:27Our next stop is Dumfries, affectionately known as the Queen of the South.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30It's an ancient town with a turbulent history.

0:28:30 > 0:28:35It's been plundered and occupied by the English on at least six separate occasions.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37It's been party to witch burnings,

0:28:37 > 0:28:42and it was the site of Scotland's last public hanging in 1868.

0:28:42 > 0:28:46But not to worry, it also has some frightfully nice shops.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53HE LAUGHS Help!

0:28:53 > 0:28:57Once you do finally get inside, there's plenty to see.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00But what Philip is instantly drawn to is the trench art.

0:29:00 > 0:29:05He's getting ready to work his infinite charm on Robert.

0:29:05 > 0:29:11- Could I have a look, please?- Yes. - I think this is hugely emotional.

0:29:11 > 0:29:13They did it in the trenches.

0:29:13 > 0:29:17- Normally, it's the metalware from shell cases, isn't it?- Yes.

0:29:17 > 0:29:22You've got one there. That's the bullet out of a rifle.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25That's a nice interesting one.

0:29:25 > 0:29:30It's got the dreadnaught, which was the early warship,

0:29:30 > 0:29:35the cannon and the Zeppelin airship. People hadn't really seen them before the war.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38That's fascinating. That's made out of a bullet.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40And this is probably part of a shell case.

0:29:40 > 0:29:45Whatever they could get their hands on and then they just worked away.

0:29:45 > 0:29:50The significance of the date... The soldier knew that the war started in 1914...

0:29:50 > 0:29:55- But that's when he did it - 1917. - That's when he did it. He didn't know when the war was going to end.

0:29:55 > 0:30:01- It raises the hair on the back of the neck.- It brings a bit of a lump to your throat.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03I like that one. It's dated 1916.

0:30:03 > 0:30:10If you think that the guy who made that in 1916, perhaps for a Christmas present for someone,

0:30:10 > 0:30:15- he could've been dead a month later. - Absolutely.- Dear me.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18- It all comes down to one thing now, doesn't it?- Absolutely!

0:30:18 > 0:30:22What's the best you can do on the two?

0:30:22 > 0:30:24What's the very best?

0:30:26 > 0:30:28How does 32 sound?

0:30:28 > 0:30:30It's too odd for me, that is.

0:30:30 > 0:30:3325 would sound a lot better.

0:30:33 > 0:30:36Make it 30 and we've got a deal.

0:30:36 > 0:30:40- I'm not going to haggle with you, I love them so much. - BOTH: Thank you.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45That's me sorted and I'm really quite pleased about that.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47Good. We're pleased now you're pleased,

0:30:47 > 0:30:52because, young Philip, it's time to reveal to each other what you've both bought.

0:30:52 > 0:30:59These are lantern slides. What we have here are things that are extinct,

0:30:59 > 0:31:04or dinosaurs - pterodactyls, triceratops. Really interesting.

0:31:04 > 0:31:08- 50 pence a plate. - No, I paid £20 for those.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10You next.

0:31:12 > 0:31:13Oh, my word!

0:31:13 > 0:31:16- That sums you up in a nutshell. - Is that good or bad?

0:31:16 > 0:31:21- What I like about it is, it's really nicely made, isn't it?- Yes.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24But every time you pick the base up, another bit falls off it.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26And...

0:31:26 > 0:31:28- How much did you pay?- £25.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31It's just one of those things that could bomb.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Sorry.- OK. Let's have a look at the next one.- Move on?- Yes.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37This... I went all soppy.

0:31:37 > 0:31:42Look at my hippo! Isn't he just a dream?

0:31:42 > 0:31:46It's funny, because people collect hippos, and I know a man who collects hippos.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Tell him to come and buy this. - I shall tell him after the auction.

0:31:49 > 0:31:55Well, we've come to Scotland, so I thought I'd buy Mauchline.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57I know it's sad, boring and dull.

0:31:57 > 0:32:01What I love about this is this one here. "From a friend."

0:32:01 > 0:32:03- I was going to give you that. - Were you?

0:32:03 > 0:32:05I paid £25 for the two.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08- I'm not that excited about that. - Thanks for that.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11- OK, next.- Oh, my! - SHE GRUNTS

0:32:11 > 0:32:13What do you think?

0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Is that 1970s?- No. Fifties.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18I think that's 1960s or '70s.

0:32:18 > 0:32:23If you went to a shop in Bond Street to buy that,

0:32:23 > 0:32:25it would probably cost between £6-900.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27Possibly more.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30But Carlisle's not Bond Street,

0:32:30 > 0:32:34so in auction, on a good day, it's £2-300.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36I hope you're right.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39- You know how I'm into this lateral-thinking game?- Yes.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41That is a knife box, isn't it?

0:32:41 > 0:32:44- Lovely. - It's now become a wine carrier.

0:32:44 > 0:32:45SHE GROANS

0:32:45 > 0:32:48- I'm not convinced on that. - Let's look at your next one, then.

0:32:48 > 0:32:54This is a section of the Transatlantic cable.

0:32:54 > 0:32:58I'm overwhelmed. What I particularly like is this plastic base.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01- Are you interested?!- I am! - I think it's brilliant.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04- How much do you reckon I paid for that?- I'd hate to think.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06- It's dreadful.- Why?!

0:33:06 > 0:33:11It's a piece of plastic with a bit of blooming telephone wire shoved on the top!

0:33:11 > 0:33:12I can't believe you.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15If you want to talk interesting, look at that.

0:33:15 > 0:33:18I've got a boxful of these things.

0:33:18 > 0:33:22It's some sort of roller. I think that is superb.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26- How much did you pay for them?- £30. - Brilliant. But is that commercial?

0:33:26 > 0:33:31- Who's going to buy them? - Well... Hold on just one minute...!

0:33:31 > 0:33:33- Please!- I'm going to move on.

0:33:33 > 0:33:38- A jelly mould. I love jelly moulds. - It's not a jelly mould. - What is it?- A pate mould.

0:33:38 > 0:33:41- What did you pay for that?- £1. - Do you sleep at night?

0:33:41 > 0:33:44SHE LAUGHS I just had to get this.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46Is that a pickled onion grabber?

0:33:46 > 0:33:49- It's brilliant, isn't it? - Fantastic. I love those.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52- How much was that? Another pound? - No, that was eight.

0:33:52 > 0:33:57Well, this is my last lot and this is a matchbox cover...

0:33:57 > 0:34:00- Nice.- ..that someone made in the First World War.

0:34:00 > 0:34:03There's the shell. There's the bullet.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06- Right, OK.- It's a paper knife. - How much did you pay for those two?

0:34:06 > 0:34:09- £30.- I think you done well.

0:34:09 > 0:34:13If you get an amber necklace, you would look like a set of traffic lights.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15Oooh! Something tells me

0:34:15 > 0:34:19the Philip and Catherine Mutual Admiration Society is about to shut up shop.

0:34:19 > 0:34:25Quite what that under-blooming-water copper cable thing is about, only Catherine could do that.

0:34:25 > 0:34:29Now he's making a knife box into a wine carrier.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32Nah. Doesn't wash with me, Phil.

0:34:32 > 0:34:36She's put all her eggs into one French Lalique basket. It could make a three-figure profit.

0:34:36 > 0:34:42If it does, you know, my trousers could be down by my ankles.

0:34:42 > 0:34:47This auction's going to be interesting, because I think I've got some great pieces against him.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50Let's just hope that she's incredible unlucky.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52After starting off in Glenluce,

0:34:52 > 0:34:58our hero and heroine are ending this leg of their trip in the good town of Carlisle.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00Yes, that's right, we've crossed the border.

0:35:00 > 0:35:05Scotland could've been the place where you excelled, and now it could be up to me.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08It probably won't be! ENGINE GRINDS

0:35:08 > 0:35:11- The left-hand pedal's the clutch. - I do know that!

0:35:11 > 0:35:16Now, as you may know, Carlisle was once a Roman settlement,

0:35:16 > 0:35:18established to serve the forts on Hadrian's Wall.

0:35:18 > 0:35:21But today it's the scene of an epic battle,

0:35:21 > 0:35:24taking place at the H&H Auction Rooms.

0:35:24 > 0:35:26Here we are. This is where it all changes, Philip.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29Well, here we go. Over the top.

0:35:29 > 0:35:30Wait for me.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33- Come on, my love.- Bring it on!

0:35:33 > 0:35:35That's the spirit.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38Though before we let the bidders off the leash,

0:35:38 > 0:35:40let's see how auctioneer Georgina Nixon

0:35:40 > 0:35:44rates the unusual items submitted by our experts.

0:35:44 > 0:35:50Wool winders are not the most desirable of scientific instruments, but they are quite interesting.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52It has a bit of damage,

0:35:52 > 0:35:56so if you're after a wool winder, if may not be the one of your dreams.

0:35:56 > 0:36:02The pickle grab's quite interesting. Although, it's unusual to pair it with the pate mould.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05It looks like the start of a really interesting party!

0:36:05 > 0:36:09Unusual items, such as the hippo, I think that's a fun thing.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11Somebody should fall in love with that.

0:36:11 > 0:36:16Philip started this leg with £442.36

0:36:16 > 0:36:20- and has spent £135 on five auction lots.- Look at that!

0:36:20 > 0:36:26As for Catherine, she began with £249.38 and parted with £149,

0:36:26 > 0:36:30also for five auction lots.

0:36:31 > 0:36:37But it all comes down to these good people. Let the auction begin!

0:36:38 > 0:36:41First up, it's Catherine's magic lantern slides.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44Let's hope they really do work a little magic.

0:36:44 > 0:36:45Wish me luck.

0:36:45 > 0:36:49- They've got dinosaurs on them. What more could you want?- Dinosaurs!

0:36:49 > 0:36:53Anyone? £5 for a start. £5 on the magic lanterns?

0:36:53 > 0:36:56Five. Eight?

0:36:56 > 0:36:57Ten?

0:36:57 > 0:37:00- Keep going!- 15. 18. 20.- Yes!

0:37:00 > 0:37:04- That is a result. - 22? Are we all done at 22?

0:37:04 > 0:37:09Oh, dear! A £2 profit. That won't even cover the commission.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11What did you say, Philip Serrell? £5?

0:37:11 > 0:37:17- I don't know what you're getting excited about. They've just lost you money.- They actually have!

0:37:19 > 0:37:22Onto Philip's Mauchline Ware.

0:37:22 > 0:37:26Can this Scottish classic excite the English? Let's find out.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28Lots of bids.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Lots of bids? - Start the bidding at...- Oh, come on!

0:37:31 > 0:37:35..£30 with me. £30 with me?

0:37:35 > 0:37:38£30 with me? Are we all done at £30?

0:37:38 > 0:37:40Yes, I think we are.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43- You'll regret it!- No, you won't.

0:37:43 > 0:37:47- She will. - How could you regret that?!

0:37:47 > 0:37:51Now, while this ebony hippo tends to raise a smile,

0:37:51 > 0:37:54for some reason, Catherine's frowning.

0:37:54 > 0:37:59I'm a bit concerned that my beautiful hippo

0:37:59 > 0:38:01follows an electric golf trolley.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Lots of bids on the book.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06Lots of bids on the book!

0:38:06 > 0:38:09- That's cheered her up.- 32.

0:38:09 > 0:38:12£32 in the black.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15- Selling at £32 with me.- Come on!

0:38:15 > 0:38:19That's £22 profit, before auction costs.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21Looks like Catherine's back on form.

0:38:21 > 0:38:26Just as well. Her pate mould and infamous pickle grabber are next.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29- My heart's beating!- Oh(!)

0:38:29 > 0:38:30£8 with me.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Come on.- Eight. Ten.

0:38:32 > 0:38:35- 12. 14. 15.- Come on!

0:38:35 > 0:38:38£18 at the front. 18. 20.

0:38:38 > 0:38:41- This seems cheap.- I think they want that pickle thing.- £20 at the back.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43Are we all done?

0:38:43 > 0:38:47She's doubled her money. I think someone's a little jealous.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50£20 for a blooming broken jelly dish!

0:38:50 > 0:38:52Philip's trench art now.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55Naturally, he's hoping the bidders of Carlisle

0:38:55 > 0:38:57share his keen interest in WW1.

0:38:57 > 0:39:03£22 with me. 25. 28. £32 at the back.

0:39:03 > 0:39:06Are we all done at 32?

0:39:06 > 0:39:10Oh, dear. Not quite the runaway profit Philip was hoping for.

0:39:10 > 0:39:14In fact, after commission, it's a loss.

0:39:14 > 0:39:18Mental note - don't be such a soppy old fool.

0:39:18 > 0:39:22Onto Philip's Georgian wine carrier, which can also be described as...

0:39:22 > 0:39:25Two empty wine bottles in a box.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Anyone, £5 to start?- Anyone!

0:39:28 > 0:39:32- Ouch.- £5? Eight? Ten.

0:39:32 > 0:39:3412. 15.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36Well, someone likes what she sees.

0:39:36 > 0:39:4120. £20 at the front.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44But not quite enough. Philip's made another loss.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Catherine, that's not very nice. You're laughing.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50You are revealing a darker side to your character.

0:39:50 > 0:39:52- I'm not sure I like it!- Ooh!

0:39:52 > 0:39:56Next, the auction lot Philip was quick to laugh at.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59It's Catherine's little piece of Transatlantic cable.

0:39:59 > 0:40:00£5 for a start.

0:40:00 > 0:40:04£5 at the front. Eight. Ten.

0:40:04 > 0:40:08- 12. 15 at the very front. - That's done well. I'm staggered.

0:40:08 > 0:40:12- Come on. Keep going.- 18. 20. 22.

0:40:12 > 0:40:16- 25. 28.- Well done, you. - 30. 32.- He's nodding.

0:40:16 > 0:40:20- Are we all done at £32?- Good man!

0:40:20 > 0:40:22That's a £27 profit.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24Now who's laughing, Philip?

0:40:24 > 0:40:27I'm getting my bottom smacked here.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29Le's not go there, shall we?

0:40:29 > 0:40:34Moving right along, it's Philip's rollers.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36£60 with me.

0:40:36 > 0:40:37£60 with me?

0:40:37 > 0:40:41- £60?!- £60 with me and selling.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46And just like that, the old fox is back.

0:40:46 > 0:40:50Now, while many parts from his wool winder have dropped off,

0:40:50 > 0:40:52apparently there's still just enough to go to auction.

0:40:52 > 0:40:57Lots of bids on the book. With me at £80.

0:40:57 > 0:41:03- This seems cheap.- No. - £80. £85 at the very back.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06Are we all done at £85?

0:41:06 > 0:41:09He's £60 up before commission.

0:41:09 > 0:41:12Seriously, how does he do it?

0:41:12 > 0:41:15So now, it's down to your bowl, isn't it?

0:41:15 > 0:41:18This Lalique dish has caused Catherine

0:41:18 > 0:41:21at least one sleepless night so far.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23But can it change her fortunes?

0:41:23 > 0:41:27I'm getting really nervous. I've got goose pimples.

0:41:27 > 0:41:30What you've been waiting for. It's the Lalique dish.

0:41:30 > 0:41:34- £5 for a start.- Five?! - £5 to my right.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36I'm sorry, did she just say five?

0:41:36 > 0:41:39Someone fetch Catherine a sweet sherry, quick.

0:41:39 > 0:41:40I think she'll need it.

0:41:40 > 0:41:44- £35 at the very back. - I can't listen to this.

0:41:44 > 0:41:4850. 60. 75.

0:41:48 > 0:41:53- £80 at the very back. - This is just a joke. No way!

0:41:53 > 0:41:59- 85. 90.- Come on! - Are we all done at £90?

0:41:59 > 0:42:03And I'm afraid that is a loss.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05I can't believe that.

0:42:05 > 0:42:09That is just a joke! That's a joke.

0:42:09 > 0:42:13That is a joke. That is the biggest joke of the auction.

0:42:13 > 0:42:18Catherine started this leg with £249.38,

0:42:18 > 0:42:24and after auction costs has made a profit of £11.72,

0:42:24 > 0:42:29giving her £261.10 to spend tomorrow.

0:42:29 > 0:42:33Meanwhile, Philip started with £442.36,

0:42:33 > 0:42:37and after auction costs, he's up £51.14,

0:42:37 > 0:42:44which means the lead is still his with £493.50 in the kitty.

0:42:44 > 0:42:47- It really wasn't that bad, you know.- It was!

0:42:47 > 0:42:52- How can you say it wasn't bad? - Honestly -- It was awful. It was tragic!

0:42:52 > 0:42:56I am sure you'll be back with a vengeance.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58No, I think I've lost it.

0:42:58 > 0:43:00Is this going to cost me a very large drink?

0:43:00 > 0:43:05- The largest you've ever bought. - Really?- Ohh...!

0:43:05 > 0:43:08Next time... We're all at sea in the Lake District

0:43:08 > 0:43:11where Catherine's risking it all.

0:43:11 > 0:43:13- I'm going to live dangerously. - Are you?

0:43:13 > 0:43:15Philip's using his sex appeal.

0:43:15 > 0:43:18You're an angel! You're an angel!

0:43:18 > 0:43:21And the gloves are coming off.

0:43:21 > 0:43:24Actually, that could be a very young Phil Serrell!

0:43:24 > 0:43:26LAUGHTER

0:43:26 > 0:43:29If he comes in here, please don't mention that!
