The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200, and one big challenge... | 0:00:02 | 0:00:06 | |
I'm here to declare war. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:07 | |
Why? | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK? | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
-This is hard. -The aim is to trade up | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
-and hope each antique turns a profit. -Come on! | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
But it's not as easy as you might think | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
-and things don't always go to plan. -Push! | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
-Will they race off with a huge profit or come to a grinding halt? -Whose side are you on? | 0:00:24 | 0:00:29 | |
This is the Antiques Road Trip. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
While not exactly faster than a speeding bullet, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
our antique superheroes, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
Catherine Southon and Philip Serrell are racing through Scotland. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
Isn't this glorious countryside? They've got their own breed of cow. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
-You are full of wonderful facts! -Or rubbish! | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
You said it. Their mission - buy low, sell high, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
and do whatever it takes to beat each other come auction time. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
It's not fair. You are well ahead! I have to beat you. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
So far this week, Philip's 35 years of experience | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
have led him to make choices which are really quite mad. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
-There's every chance that everybody else will think I'm bonkers. -What can I say? | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
But much to Catherine's consternation, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
he's cleaned up at auction not once, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
but twice! | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
Which is why the £200 he started the week with | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
has now grown into an impressive £442.36. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
I'm going to turn it all around and today is going to be the day! | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
Meanwhile, newcomer Catherine Southon has employed various strategies | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
in order to beat her middle-aged nemesis. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
She's been feisty. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
-Give this poor man some more money! -Whose side are you on? -Not yours! | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
-She's been cheeky. -Does your daughter give better prices? | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
And she's been up to no good at a car-boot sale in Perth. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
When Phil Serrell comes up, double your prices. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
But even so, her initial £200 stake has only increased by £49.38. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:08 | |
That means Philip's £200 in the lead! Wow! | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
-I'm going to be seriously competitive now. -I can't stand competitive women! | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
This week's road trip is taking us from the north-east of Scotland, across the border to England, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
through the Lake District and onto Liverpool. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
Today, we're kicking off in Glenluce, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
a small village in the county of Dumfries and Galloway, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
and we'll end this leg with an auction in Carlisle. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
Without a doubt, Glenluce is the perfect place to get away from it all. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:41 | |
This is literally in the middle of nowhere! | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
But it's also home to Dervaird Farm, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
the rugged and rural location of The Glenluce Antiques Centre. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
Antiques Farm! That doesn't look very promising, does it?! | 0:02:52 | 0:02:58 | |
-You are going to find something here. -I'm going to find my treasure. -Yes. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
-Ciao. -God bless, darling. -See you later. Wish me luck. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
Well, not too much. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
This family business began in Wales, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
but 23 years ago, the Jones family were so impressed by a holiday in south-west Scotland, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
they decided to move lock, stock and barrel to Glenluce, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
and today, their son Chris runs the show. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
This is a fine place you've got here. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
DOG YAPS Whoo! | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
-I might have to buy him. Is he for sale? -We could work out a price! | 0:03:28 | 0:03:33 | |
He's lovely. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:34 | |
Right, I'm in desperate need of a bargain. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
They're quite unusual, the old slides. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
These are the lantern slides that you drop into the magic lantern | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
and then you project it onto the screen. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
They're quite interesting. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
The magic lantern was a great favourite of the Victorians. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
Originally powered by candlelight, | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
it projected images from fairy tales to striptease, | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
although there's nothing saucy here, I fancy. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
They're all of dinosaurs. How many have you got? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
Probably 20 of them, I think. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
How much did you want for these? | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
50 on the set. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:14 | |
-50?! -£50. -Oh, wow. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
Some of them can fetch that each. We sold one last year for £300. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
-Really? -Just one slide. -What was that an image of? -An erotic image! | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
Well, that's the thing! All these naughty ones are the ones people want! | 0:04:26 | 0:04:32 | |
But these ones, I think I'd be taking a bit of a risk. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
I couldn't do any more than 20, I don't think. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
25. That'll give you a chance. How's that? | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
-I don't think I could go any more than 20. -Go on, then. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
-I'll do it for 20. -£20. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
-That'll give you a good chance. -Deal. -That's a deal. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
But Catherine's not finished yet. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Pate mould, anyone? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
That is quite nice with the grouse on it. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
I could do you £10. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
I think ten is still going to be a bit hard for me. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-Am I your worst customer? -Today, so far, yes. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
I'm the only customer so far today! | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
In the nearby market town of Newton Stewart, | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
known as the "Gateway to the Galloway Hills", | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
Philip's en route to the Douglas House Antique Centre. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
I've got a feeling I'm going to do all right in here. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
I've got £440 to spend | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
and I'm going to see if I can get some spent. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
-Oops! -Steady! | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
I got a prick in the leg! | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
Mustn't grumble. After all, there's plenty to choose from in this lovely shop, | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
and young Dave is only too happy to take Philip's money. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
Perhaps you could do me a favour? That contraption on the top there, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
-would it be possible to have a look at it? -Yes, no problem. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
Actually, that contraption is a wool winder. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
I think it's quite heavy, actually! How do I get this down? | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
Well, it was! | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
-Ooh! -HE LAUGHS | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
Now it's broken! Perhaps Philip can negotiate a discount! | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
What happens is, you put spools or reels of wool on there, | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
and then they come up there, through there, on there, | 0:06:14 | 0:06:19 | |
and then you turn this, and as you turn it, | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
it measures, I think, the length of yarn. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
-Yes. -And when you've got to the appropriate length... | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
-BELL RINGS -..that bell rings, doesn't it? -Yes. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
This one is in awful condition. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
Because this ebonised handle is split. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
The base has just gone to the dogs. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
I'm going to have to be mean. Really, really, really mean. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
-Sounds like it's going to hurt. -It is going to hurt. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
In my eyes, it's 20 quid, in the condition it's in. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
That would be your best offer, would it? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
Dave, come here. Just come and stand by me a second. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
I don't say that to many men. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
Hello! | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
I'm going to think about that. I like that a lot. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
Much like Philip, Catherine's reluctant to put her hand in her pocket. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:12 | |
So now Chris is trying to seduce her with Lalique. That's glassware, by the way. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:18 | |
-Is it Rene or is it after? -I think it's probably after. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
It's a big old lump of Lalique. I was told it was '50s. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
I do like Lalique, but I love the pieces with the fish or the birds or something like that. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:32 | |
-You like the £3,000 pieces? -I do! It doesn't do an awful lot for me. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
-That's something to throw at a burglar. -I don't know about that! | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
Rene Lalique was a French designer and manufacturer famous for his glass creations, | 0:07:39 | 0:07:45 | |
from perfume bottles to chandeliers to car mascots. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
Despite his death in 1945, | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
the company he named after himself continues to flourish. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
What did you say on that? 320. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
-I could do you a bit better on that. -No, what did I tell you I had?! | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
The very best I could do on that is 140. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
-It is in perfect nick, isn't it? -It is in perfect condition. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
-Could it be 100? -It couldn't. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
The very, very, very best on it would be 130. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:16 | |
-Can I think? -You can. -Can I think about that one? | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
I'll maybe throw a couple of things together, get a deal going. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
-Will we? -You never know. -I like it. -We live in hope. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
Inspired to carry on shopping, Catherine's next object of interest is a unusual paperweight. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:33 | |
That is a section out of the cable that runs from Great Britain to America. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:38 | |
-The first radio cable. -Oh, right! -That's actually a cross section of the cable. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:43 | |
-That's where your signal would go through. -I find that quite interesting. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:48 | |
The thing is with something like that, it's an unusual piece. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
Somebody likes it on their desk because they can relay the story back to a friend. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
-That's it! -It's a talking point. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
-I love things like this! -Just something different. -Real conversation pieces. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
-How much do you want for this? -It could be a tenner. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
-Can it be five? -It can be £5. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
-Can it be less than five? -It can't be less than five. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
-Can you polish it up for me, as well?! -I could do! | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
Do you want me to get a bit of wire wool and do it now? | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
If you could find a couple of bidders for it, that would be helpful! | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
They are getting on well! While you're at it, a cheaper price on you-know-what. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
OK, so it all comes down to this lump. Ohhh...! | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
The ball is in your court, as they say. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
SHE GROANS | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
I don't know whether to go for it. I am the most indecisive person. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
-Can we say 100 and I'll go for it? -I can't do it, honestly. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:47 | |
I don't think I will, actually. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
-I might turn away and regret this. -You probably will. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
-Don't say that! -I'm not bothered either way. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
While Catherine's in all of a dither, | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
Philip is completely focused on a very Scottish collectable. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:01 | |
I've seen a quite a few bits of Mauchline. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
Mauchline is this transfer-printed little woodware and this is a little moneybox. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:10 | |
We've got another bit in here. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
This is like an original piece of Mauchline Ware | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
and it's of Morecambe New Pier. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
It would've had a little tot glass in it, wouldn't it? | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
And the age of these is probably around about 1900 and 1905. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:26 | |
Named after the town it was made in, | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
Mauchline was produced from the 1820s onwards | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
and was sold all over the world, | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
though production came to an abrupt halt in 1933 | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
when the factory burnt to the ground. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
I've got to come to some decisions here. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
Can you take my £20 on that contraption? | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
I was hoping for 40. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
I'll give you 25 for it. That's it, me finished. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-Go on, then. -OK, you're a gentleman on that one. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
I want to bid you £20 again for the two of those. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
-Ooh, heck! -It's a hard day, this, isn't it? | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
What if I gave you £50 for the whole lot? | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
-OK. -All right? -We'll go for that. -You're a gentleman. Thank you. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
I'd better count some money out, hadn't I? This is the painful bit. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:12 | |
Lovely. Having walked away from the Lalique, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
Catherine's back on the prowl for something offbeat. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
-This is quite wacky. He's ebony. -It's quite nice, actually. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
He's got a comical look to him, just laid there on the mud. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
I know! You almost feel sorry for him. What do you want for this? | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
Well, I was going to ask you 40, but then I thought 30, | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
but then I thought better to ask you 20, | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
-since you're in a needy position. -Dire straits! -A needy position! | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
Ten is good. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
15 and we'd have a deal. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
Ten? And we'd have a really good deal, Chris. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
-Go on, then. £10. -Yes! | 0:11:49 | 0:11:50 | |
I think Philip would like that, actually. He likes wood. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
It maybe looks like him on a hot day. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
Rude! So that's three lots in the one store. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
But far from being content, our girl can't help thinking about the Lalique that got away. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:05 | |
I don't know what to do. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
-You've spent, what, £35 out here? -Mm. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
So if we was to say... £150 on the lot? | 0:12:10 | 0:12:15 | |
Right, then. We're down to £115 for the dish, Catherine. What's it to be? | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
-Shall we have one more look at it? -We'll have another look. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
-Come on, Charlie. -Come on, Charlie. Two barks for yes, one for no. -That's it. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
Oh, this is... This is hard. This is hard. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:35 | |
This is hard, isn't it? Because I need to spend a lot of money. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
Right, I'm going before I... I'm going to crack up. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:44 | |
But one wag and three-and-a-half seconds later... | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
This is my proposition to you. £135 for everything. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
That's pretty good. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
140 and we'll do a deal. That's another fiver. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-Wish me luck. -Good luck. I think you'll do all right. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:05 | |
I hope you do, anyway, or it'll make me look bad! | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
How sweet! Now, we have the magic lantern slides, | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
the paperweight, the hippo | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
and the Lalique dish. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:15 | |
What more could a girl ask for? | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
-Chris! Chris! -Yes? -You know that pate thing? -Right? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:24 | |
-How much did you say that was? -£10 I can do that for. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
£10... | 0:13:27 | 0:13:28 | |
-As we've done quite a lot of business here... -Right. -..can we go a bit lower? | 0:13:29 | 0:13:34 | |
-How's a fiver? -How's £1? | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
-Seeing as you've bought everything, £1 will do it. -There we are. -Thank you. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
-Thank you. -I love it here! | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
Even though he has much to do on the shopping front, | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
Philip's off to Whithorn, | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
a town famous for being the final resting place | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
of Scotland's first saint, St Ninian. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
Despite the common belief that Christianity first arrived on Scottish shores | 0:13:55 | 0:14:01 | |
during the fifth century on the island of Iona, | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
a century earlier, it was actually St Ninian | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
who founded the first Christian community right here in Whithorn. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
Since then, kings and commoners alike | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
have made many a pilgrimage to this very spot. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
And now it's Philip's turn, as he pays a visit to the Whithorn Priory & Museum. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:24 | |
-You must be Gary. -Hello. -How are you? All right? | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
-Blimey, this is something else, isn't it? -It is. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
One of the finest collections of carved stone in Scotland. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
Amongst this unique collection of sculpted stone and grave markers, | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
some of which are up to 1,500 years old, is the Latinus Stone. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:43 | |
Dating back to 450 AD, | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
this Christian memorial confirms Whithorn | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
as Scotland's first Christian community. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
-This is the oldest lump of stone. -It's the oldest Christian stone. -That's fantastic. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:57 | |
-It may look very faded, but we can read it really well. -Go on, then. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:02 | |
"We praise you, the Lord! | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
"Latinus, descendant of Barravados, aged 35, | 0:15:04 | 0:15:09 | |
"and his daughter, aged 4, made a sign here." | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
-What does it say in Latin? -I don't speak Latin! | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
-Shall I tell you? -A dead language! -Let me see if I can remember. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
"Te Dominum Laudamus Latinus | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
"Annorum..." Sorry, it's at the back, I can't quite read that bit! | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
Come on. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
-What a fake! What a fraud! -What a wag! | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
While the Latinus Stone started as a memorial, | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
it ended up part of the walls of Whithorn's medieval cathedral, | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
which used to house St Ninian's remains. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
Today, only the underground crypt is still intact. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
This was a massive cathedral. It served the whole of south-west Scotland. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:49 | |
It was where the Bishops of Galloway sat. There's not an awful lot left of it. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
These are the Bishop's Graves | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
and these were discovered above your head. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
Above our head? Graves? | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
There's burials below you and burials above you. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:07 | |
So, we're in the middle of a graveyard? | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
Literally in the middle of a graveyard? | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
Smack bang in the middle. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
As for St Ninian himself, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
his remains have mysteriously gone missing. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
So, you've never found Ninian's tomb? | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
There was only basically an arm bone left. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
He'd been worn away to an arm bone. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
James IV commissioned a reliquary to hold the arm bone, | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
and it stayed here until the Reformation. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
And then this bejewelled box was taken to France for safety, | 0:16:42 | 0:16:49 | |
where, as far as we know, it was safe | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
until the French Revolution. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
And after that... | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
While Philip explores 16 centuries of Christian history, | 0:16:57 | 0:17:02 | |
a few streets away, Catherine has a dilemma - | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
quit while she's ahead | 0:17:05 | 0:17:06 | |
or just buy one teensy-weensy little extra item. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:11 | |
This is fab. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
This could be used as something to really annoy my driving partner. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:18 | |
Or it could be used as it's supposed to be used, which is a pickle fork. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:23 | |
Isn't it fab? | 0:17:23 | 0:17:24 | |
It's 1930s, it's guilloche enamel, which is engine-turned, | 0:17:24 | 0:17:31 | |
and it's this lovely pale blue, | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
which is very typical of that period, the 1930s. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:38 | |
I think that's really, really nice. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
What's the price on it? £12. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
But it's dead posh, this. I really like it. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
I'm going to have a little think about that. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
With £100 in the kitty, a posh pickle-grabber isn't going to break the bank, | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
but an hour later, Catherine still isn't sure what to do. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
Wanting lots of lovely things here. This is not good! | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
SHE HUMS IN CONTEMPLATION | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
I'm having such an indecisive day today. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
Well, you do, don't you? | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
Glen's best price on the pickle grabber is £9. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
Will you go down a bit more if I pinch you? | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
-Yes. -We can? -We can go to eight. -We can go to eight? -Absolutely. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:23 | |
Finally, we have a deal. Or do we? | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
If you could just put it on one side for me at £8 | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
and I'm going to think on that one. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
-Catherine! -About time! -Come on. -I am freezing, Philip! -Shush! | 0:18:34 | 0:18:39 | |
I wish this thing had a heater. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
Let's get it going. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
Ah, well. Still, a good day shopping. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
And there's just enough time left to enjoy the balmy Scottish summer! | 0:18:47 | 0:18:52 | |
With the sun absolutely nowhere in sight, | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
our intrepid duo are once again touring the B roads of Scotland. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:02 | |
Right, today, I want you just to buy pretty, lovely things. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:07 | |
-Moi, do pretty? -Yes! | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
So far this leg, Philip's off to a rather slow start. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |
He's only spent £50 | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
and still has another £390 hiding in a wallet that seldom sees daylight. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:20 | |
-Do me a favour. -What? | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
Don't buy anything... INDISTINCT | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
Catherine, on the other hand, is a woman possessed. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
She's spent £141, has five auction lots ready to go | 0:19:29 | 0:19:34 | |
and still has a pickle grabber on hold, | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
which leaves her £108 in the kitty. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
Gretna Green! Shall we go and get married? | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
-SHE LAUGHS -Mm. Bigamy... | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
After the ceremony, Philip and Catherine's next stop | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
is the small market town of Castle Douglas. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
-What do we know about Castle Douglas? -It's a castle where Douglas lives. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
Actually, it was founded in 1792 by a very wealthy descendant of the Douglas clan | 0:20:01 | 0:20:07 | |
and its layout is based on Edinburgh's New Town. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
Despite the name, there isn't a castle in sight. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
I'm conscious that I've got a lot of money to spend. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
So spend it, Philip! Break the habit of a lifetime! | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
Following Catherine's advice, Philip's off to the High Street. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
-Morning! Am I all right to have a look round? -Please do! | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
A lady with a duster - that's a dangerous thing, isn't it? | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
Very necessary in here. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
So as Anne continues to dust her knick-knacks, | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
Philip's search for the daft and the different continues. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
What will he come up with today? | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
This is a very simple cutlery box, or cutlery tray or knife tray. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:47 | |
This looks like it's made out of mahogany. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
It's probably about 1865, 1870. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:56 | |
It's a Plain Jane. If there was a beauty pageant, this would not win. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
The thing is, in this business, you've got to think laterally. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
You put a bottle of wine in there, it becomes a wine carrier to your table. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:08 | |
What a cool thing that is. That's what people do with these. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
Because a Georgian wine carrier | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
is worth hundreds or thousands of pounds | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
if it's a seriously good one. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
He's not just a pretty face, you know. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
But can he get a deal from Anne of the Duster? | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
The lowest I could go would be 30. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
Can you meet me halfway and I'll have it? £25. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
-Right. -Is that all right? -Yes. -You're an angel. Thank you. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
-Do I get two bottles of wine with it, as well? -Ohh! | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
-Don't push your luck! -That's a fair request! | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
-If you get them, I'll put them in! -I know what I am going to do. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
No, he's not off to the pub. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
He's off on the scrounge at the restaurant across the road. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
Chancing it a bit really. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
-Hello. -Hello. How are you? -Good. -You must be Carlo. -Yes. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
-Pleased to meet you. -I'm after a favour. -Of course. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
Can I scrounge two empty wine bottles? | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
-No problem. -Have you got any I could try? What a good man. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
-They might be too big. -Look at that! -Absolutely perfect. -Look at that! | 0:22:10 | 0:22:16 | |
That's what I call a wine-bottle carrier. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
That's a good wine. Somebody drank it. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
-You're a star. -You're welcome. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
Thank you, my love, you're an absolute angel. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
Take care. See you soon! Bye! | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
What a smoothie. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
Just six miles down the road, Catherine's popped into the small but busy town of Dalbeattie, | 0:22:31 | 0:22:36 | |
which, despite its size, boasts its own museum | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
representing more than 300 years of local history. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
This eclectic collection was put together by a much-loved local, | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
75-year-old Tommy Henderson. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
FAIGROUND-STYLE MUSIC | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
-Hello! -Hello! Are you coming in for a wee look? -Wonderful! | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
-I'm Catherine. -I'm Tommy. -Hello, Tommy. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
-I'm the man responsible for this place. -Are you? -Aye. It was a dream come true. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:04 | |
-Did you start it? -I started it 25 years ago. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
-What drove you? -I was a collector of objet d'art, | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 | |
and my wife's cupboards were getting too full, so we had to do something. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:16 | |
What you'll see through here is, we've been built by the volunteers. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
-And the objects you get are donated? -It's all donated, except this. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:25 | |
FAIRGROUND MUSIC | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
-All the children get playing this. -I bet. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:33 | |
SHE HUMS ALONG | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
Everybody that comes in... And they sit on my bear, as well. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:43 | |
Despite there being thousands of objects, | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
not only does Tommy know each and every one intimately... | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
You've got butter pots here. This is the shovel with the holes. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
Don't forget our wee milk bottle. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
..there's usually a story attached. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
One of the very first items that was handed in was this washing machine. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:05 | |
Found in an outhouse. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
We have since discovered that it's over 100 years old. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:11 | |
It's hard to believe it's still working. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
Is it? | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
MACHINE WHIRRS Wow! | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
And there's the Titanic exhibit! | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
As it turns out, the ship's first officer, William McMaster Murdoch, | 0:24:22 | 0:24:27 | |
was a Dalbeattie man. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
If you remember in the last film, that's the gentleman they made look like a coward. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:34 | |
-And he was a local? -He lived 100 yards down the road. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
We know for a fact that he was our local hero. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
So his cousins took the film people to task, | 0:24:41 | 0:24:46 | |
and we got a £5,000 apology | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
to say sorry to his family for defamation of character. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
And the apology letter takes pride of place in the collection. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:58 | |
"In the minds and hearts of the filmmakers and audiences all over the world, | 0:24:58 | 0:25:03 | |
"Officer Murdoch is one of the film's most humane, selfless | 0:25:03 | 0:25:08 | |
"and sensitively-drawn characters." | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
-Thank you very much. -Interesting. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
-That was our local hero. -Mm-hm. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
For two decades now, | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
Tommy has been sharing his passion for history with visitors from around the world. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:22 | |
In June 2009, his hard work was quite rightly recognised | 0:25:22 | 0:25:27 | |
with the Queen's Award for Voluntary Services. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
I didn't realise half the town had wrote in | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
-to put me and the museum forward. -Oh, wow! | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
I had no idea. It was the biggest surprise of my life when the Lord Lieutenant walked in that door. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:42 | |
-You could've picked me up off the floor. -Really? | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
That's the first recognition we've ever had in Dumfries and Galloway. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
-You must be so proud of that. -Very proud. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:52 | |
And so you should be, because it's wonderful. And you're a wonderful man. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
It's been a real pleasure. Thanks. It's been tremendous. | 0:25:56 | 0:26:00 | |
Back in Castle Douglas, Philip's happened upon another hidden gem, | 0:26:04 | 0:26:08 | |
also known as AD Livingston & Sons, | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
makers and restorers of fine furniture. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
-Mr Livingston, I presume? -I've never heard that before. -I'm sure you haven't! | 0:26:14 | 0:26:19 | |
But at least he's not called Stanley. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
-How much is your lacquered chair? -That, £145. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
-145. -I have a pair. There's another one up there. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
-How much is that? -That would be 120. -Really? -Aye. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:33 | |
Well, it's a fair price. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:34 | |
But did we mention Philip's looking to spend around £5? | 0:26:34 | 0:26:39 | |
If you're as good at restoration as you are on pricing, | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
you'll make a fortune! | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
There's 5p on the floor! | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
-I'll toss you for it. -It's super-glued down! | 0:26:46 | 0:26:50 | |
-These things are fantastic, aren't they? -Yes. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
They came out of an old-style decorator's workshop in Dumfries. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
Either for creating a scumble effect on painted doors and the like, | 0:26:58 | 0:27:03 | |
or perhaps they were for creating wallpaper in situ. I'm not 100 percent sure. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:08 | |
A scumble effect is when you've got a pine panelling in a house | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
and you would paint it, and, well, this is cheating a bit, | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
you'd roll these up to make it look like it's grained oak. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
The real skill is to hand-paint it. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
-It's down to money. -Of course. That's the point of the exercise. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
-How much have you got them priced at? -The whole lot is £45. -Can you do a deal on that? | 0:27:25 | 0:27:30 | |
-The deal... -Because that's sort of like... | 0:27:30 | 0:27:35 | |
I'll just have a quiet word and explain the way this works. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
What happens is, you have a price, and it's best price, | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
-and then it comes down a bit. -Yes. Sure. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
-That's my best price. -Is it? -And it's a very good price. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
However, what would I let you have them... I'd let you have the set for 35. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:51 | |
-£30 wouldn't buy them, would it? -Are you offering me £30? -Yes. -OK. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:55 | |
-Done? -Yes. -OK. -Thank you. -I like those. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
Just as well, because with that, it's tatty-bye to Castle Douglas. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
Although, just a few miles down the road, Catherine has a sudden epiphany. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:07 | |
I keep thinking about the pickle fork that I saw yesterday. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:11 | |
It's one of those things that... I've got to have it. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:15 | |
I knew she'd go back for it. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
All that fuss and she got it for £8. I ask you! | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
Our next stop is Dumfries, affectionately known as the Queen of the South. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:27 | |
It's an ancient town with a turbulent history. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
It's been plundered and occupied by the English on at least six separate occasions. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:35 | |
It's been party to witch burnings, | 0:28:35 | 0:28:37 | |
and it was the site of Scotland's last public hanging in 1868. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:42 | |
But not to worry, it also has some frightfully nice shops. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:46 | |
HE LAUGHS Help! | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
Once you do finally get inside, there's plenty to see. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:57 | |
But what Philip is instantly drawn to is the trench art. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:00 | |
He's getting ready to work his infinite charm on Robert. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:05 | |
-Could I have a look, please? -Yes. -I think this is hugely emotional. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:11 | |
They did it in the trenches. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:13 | |
-Normally, it's the metalware from shell cases, isn't it? -Yes. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:17 | |
You've got one there. That's the bullet out of a rifle. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:22 | |
That's a nice interesting one. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
It's got the dreadnaught, which was the early warship, | 0:29:25 | 0:29:30 | |
the cannon and the Zeppelin airship. People hadn't really seen them before the war. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:35 | |
That's fascinating. That's made out of a bullet. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:38 | |
And this is probably part of a shell case. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:40 | |
Whatever they could get their hands on and then they just worked away. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:45 | |
The significance of the date... The soldier knew that the war started in 1914... | 0:29:45 | 0:29:50 | |
-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. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:55 | |
-It raises the hair on the back of the neck. -It brings a bit of a lump to your throat. | 0:29:55 | 0:30:01 | |
I like that one. It's dated 1916. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:03 | |
If you think that the guy who made that in 1916, perhaps for a Christmas present for someone, | 0:30:03 | 0:30:10 | |
-he could've been dead a month later. -Absolutely. -Dear me. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:15 | |
-It all comes down to one thing now, doesn't it? -Absolutely! | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
What's the best you can do on the two? | 0:30:18 | 0:30:22 | |
What's the very best? | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
How does 32 sound? | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
It's too odd for me, that is. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
25 would sound a lot better. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:33 | |
Make it 30 and we've got a deal. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
-I'm not going to haggle with you, I love them so much. -BOTH: Thank you. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:40 | |
That's me sorted and I'm really quite pleased about that. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:45 | |
Good. We're pleased now you're pleased, | 0:30:45 | 0:30:47 | |
because, young Philip, it's time to reveal to each other what you've both bought. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:52 | |
These are lantern slides. What we have here are things that are extinct, | 0:30:52 | 0:30:59 | |
or dinosaurs - pterodactyls, triceratops. Really interesting. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:04 | |
-50 pence a plate. -No, I paid £20 for those. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:08 | |
You next. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:10 | |
Oh, my word! | 0:31:12 | 0:31:13 | |
-That sums you up in a nutshell. -Is that good or bad? | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
-What I like about it is, it's really nicely made, isn't it? -Yes. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:21 | |
But every time you pick the base up, another bit falls off it. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
And... | 0:31:24 | 0:31:26 | |
-How much did you pay? -£25. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
It's just one of those things that could bomb. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
-Sorry. -OK. Let's have a look at the next one. -Move on? -Yes. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
This... I went all soppy. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
Look at my hippo! Isn't he just a dream? | 0:31:37 | 0:31:42 | |
It's funny, because people collect hippos, and I know a man who collects hippos. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:46 | |
-Tell him to come and buy this. -I shall tell him after the auction. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:49 | |
Well, we've come to Scotland, so I thought I'd buy Mauchline. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:55 | |
I know it's sad, boring and dull. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:57 | |
What I love about this is this one here. "From a friend." | 0:31:57 | 0:32:01 | |
-I was going to give you that. -Were you? | 0:32:01 | 0:32:03 | |
I paid £25 for the two. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
-I'm not that excited about that. -Thanks for that. | 0:32:05 | 0:32:08 | |
-OK, next. -Oh, my! -SHE GRUNTS | 0:32:08 | 0:32:11 | |
What do you think? | 0:32:11 | 0:32:13 | |
-Is that 1970s? -No. Fifties. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:16 | |
I think that's 1960s or '70s. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:18 | |
If you went to a shop in Bond Street to buy that, | 0:32:18 | 0:32:23 | |
it would probably cost between £6-900. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:25 | |
Possibly more. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:27 | |
But Carlisle's not Bond Street, | 0:32:27 | 0:32:30 | |
so in auction, on a good day, it's £2-300. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:34 | |
I hope you're right. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:36 | |
-You know how I'm into this lateral-thinking game? -Yes. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:39 | |
That is a knife box, isn't it? | 0:32:39 | 0:32:41 | |
-Lovely. -It's now become a wine carrier. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:44 | |
SHE GROANS | 0:32:44 | 0:32:45 | |
-I'm not convinced on that. -Let's look at your next one, then. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
This is a section of the Transatlantic cable. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:54 | |
I'm overwhelmed. What I particularly like is this plastic base. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:58 | |
-Are you interested?! -I am! -I think it's brilliant. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:01 | |
-How much do you reckon I paid for that? -I'd hate to think. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:04 | |
-It's dreadful. -Why?! | 0:33:04 | 0:33:06 | |
It's a piece of plastic with a bit of blooming telephone wire shoved on the top! | 0:33:06 | 0:33:11 | |
I can't believe you. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:12 | |
If you want to talk interesting, look at that. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:15 | |
I've got a boxful of these things. | 0:33:15 | 0:33:18 | |
It's some sort of roller. I think that is superb. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:22 | |
-How much did you pay for them? -£30. -Brilliant. But is that commercial? | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
-Who's going to buy them? -Well... Hold on just one minute...! | 0:33:26 | 0:33:31 | |
-Please! -I'm going to move on. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:33 | |
-A jelly mould. I love jelly moulds. -It's not a jelly mould. -What is it? -A pate mould. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:38 | |
-What did you pay for that? -£1. -Do you sleep at night? | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
SHE LAUGHS I just had to get this. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
Is that a pickled onion grabber? | 0:33:44 | 0:33:46 | |
-It's brilliant, isn't it? -Fantastic. I love those. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:49 | |
-How much was that? Another pound? -No, that was eight. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:52 | |
Well, this is my last lot and this is a matchbox cover... | 0:33:52 | 0:33:57 | |
-Nice. -..that someone made in the First World War. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:00 | |
There's the shell. There's the bullet. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
-Right, OK. -It's a paper knife. -How much did you pay for those two? | 0:34:03 | 0:34:06 | |
-£30. -I think you done well. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
If you get an amber necklace, you would look like a set of traffic lights. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:13 | |
Oooh! Something tells me | 0:34:13 | 0:34:15 | |
the Philip and Catherine Mutual Admiration Society is about to shut up shop. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:19 | |
Quite what that under-blooming-water copper cable thing is about, only Catherine could do that. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:25 | |
Now he's making a knife box into a wine carrier. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:29 | |
Nah. Doesn't wash with me, Phil. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
She's put all her eggs into one French Lalique basket. It could make a three-figure profit. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:36 | |
If it does, you know, my trousers could be down by my ankles. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:42 | |
This auction's going to be interesting, because I think I've got some great pieces against him. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:47 | |
Let's just hope that she's incredible unlucky. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:50 | |
After starting off in Glenluce, | 0:34:50 | 0:34:52 | |
our hero and heroine are ending this leg of their trip in the good town of Carlisle. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:58 | |
Yes, that's right, we've crossed the border. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:00 | |
Scotland could've been the place where you excelled, and now it could be up to me. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:05 | |
It probably won't be! ENGINE GRINDS | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
-The left-hand pedal's the clutch. -I do know that! | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
Now, as you may know, Carlisle was once a Roman settlement, | 0:35:11 | 0:35:16 | |
established to serve the forts on Hadrian's Wall. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:18 | |
But today it's the scene of an epic battle, | 0:35:18 | 0:35:21 | |
taking place at the H&H Auction Rooms. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:24 | |
Here we are. This is where it all changes, Philip. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:26 | |
Well, here we go. Over the top. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:29 | |
Wait for me. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:30 | |
-Come on, my love. -Bring it on! | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |
That's the spirit. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |
Though before we let the bidders off the leash, | 0:35:35 | 0:35:38 | |
let's see how auctioneer Georgina Nixon | 0:35:38 | 0:35:40 | |
rates the unusual items submitted by our experts. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:44 | |
Wool winders are not the most desirable of scientific instruments, but they are quite interesting. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:50 | |
It has a bit of damage, | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
so if you're after a wool winder, if may not be the one of your dreams. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:56 | |
The pickle grab's quite interesting. Although, it's unusual to pair it with the pate mould. | 0:35:56 | 0:36:02 | |
It looks like the start of a really interesting party! | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
Unusual items, such as the hippo, I think that's a fun thing. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:09 | |
Somebody should fall in love with that. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:11 | |
Philip started this leg with £442.36 | 0:36:11 | 0:36:16 | |
-and has spent £135 on five auction lots. -Look at that! | 0:36:16 | 0:36:20 | |
As for Catherine, she began with £249.38 and parted with £149, | 0:36:20 | 0:36:26 | |
also for five auction lots. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:30 | |
But it all comes down to these good people. Let the auction begin! | 0:36:31 | 0:36:37 | |
First up, it's Catherine's magic lantern slides. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:41 | |
Let's hope they really do work a little magic. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:44 | |
Wish me luck. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:45 | |
-They've got dinosaurs on them. What more could you want? -Dinosaurs! | 0:36:45 | 0:36:49 | |
Anyone? £5 for a start. £5 on the magic lanterns? | 0:36:49 | 0:36:53 | |
Five. Eight? | 0:36:53 | 0:36:56 | |
Ten? | 0:36:56 | 0:36:57 | |
-Keep going! -15. 18. 20. -Yes! | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
-That is a result. -22? Are we all done at 22? | 0:37:00 | 0:37:04 | |
Oh, dear! A £2 profit. That won't even cover the commission. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:09 | |
What did you say, Philip Serrell? £5? | 0:37:09 | 0:37:11 | |
-I don't know what you're getting excited about. They've just lost you money. -They actually have! | 0:37:11 | 0:37:17 | |
Onto Philip's Mauchline Ware. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
Can this Scottish classic excite the English? Let's find out. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:26 | |
Lots of bids. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:28 | |
-Lots of bids? -Start the bidding at... -Oh, come on! | 0:37:28 | 0:37:31 | |
..£30 with me. £30 with me? | 0:37:31 | 0:37:35 | |
£30 with me? Are we all done at £30? | 0:37:35 | 0:37:38 | |
Yes, I think we are. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:40 | |
-You'll regret it! -No, you won't. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:43 | |
-She will. -How could you regret that?! | 0:37:43 | 0:37:47 | |
Now, while this ebony hippo tends to raise a smile, | 0:37:47 | 0:37:51 | |
for some reason, Catherine's frowning. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:54 | |
I'm a bit concerned that my beautiful hippo | 0:37:54 | 0:37:59 | |
follows an electric golf trolley. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
Lots of bids on the book. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
Lots of bids on the book! | 0:38:03 | 0:38:06 | |
-That's cheered her up. -32. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:09 | |
£32 in the black. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:12 | |
-Selling at £32 with me. -Come on! | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |
That's £22 profit, before auction costs. | 0:38:15 | 0:38:19 | |
Looks like Catherine's back on form. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
Just as well. Her pate mould and infamous pickle grabber are next. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:26 | |
-My heart's beating! -Oh(!) | 0:38:26 | 0:38:29 | |
£8 with me. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:30 | |
-Come on. -Eight. Ten. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:32 | |
-12. 14. 15. -Come on! | 0:38:32 | 0:38:35 | |
£18 at the front. 18. 20. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:38 | |
-This seems cheap. -I think they want that pickle thing. -£20 at the back. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:41 | |
Are we all done? | 0:38:41 | 0:38:43 | |
She's doubled her money. I think someone's a little jealous. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:47 | |
£20 for a blooming broken jelly dish! | 0:38:47 | 0:38:50 | |
Philip's trench art now. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:52 | |
Naturally, he's hoping the bidders of Carlisle | 0:38:52 | 0:38:55 | |
share his keen interest in WW1. | 0:38:55 | 0:38:57 | |
£22 with me. 25. 28. £32 at the back. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:03 | |
Are we all done at 32? | 0:39:03 | 0:39:06 | |
Oh, dear. Not quite the runaway profit Philip was hoping for. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:10 | |
In fact, after commission, it's a loss. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:14 | |
Mental note - don't be such a soppy old fool. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:18 | |
Onto Philip's Georgian wine carrier, which can also be described as... | 0:39:18 | 0:39:22 | |
Two empty wine bottles in a box. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:25 | |
-Anyone, £5 to start? -Anyone! | 0:39:25 | 0:39:28 | |
-Ouch. -£5? Eight? Ten. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:32 | |
12. 15. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:34 | |
Well, someone likes what she sees. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:36 | |
20. £20 at the front. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:41 | |
But not quite enough. Philip's made another loss. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:44 | |
Catherine, that's not very nice. You're laughing. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:47 | |
You are revealing a darker side to your character. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:50 | |
-I'm not sure I like it! -Ooh! | 0:39:50 | 0:39:52 | |
Next, the auction lot Philip was quick to laugh at. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:56 | |
It's Catherine's little piece of Transatlantic cable. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
£5 for a start. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:00 | |
£5 at the front. Eight. Ten. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:04 | |
-12. 15 at the very front. -That's done well. I'm staggered. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:08 | |
-Come on. Keep going. -18. 20. 22. | 0:40:08 | 0:40:12 | |
-25. 28. -Well done, you. -30. 32. -He's nodding. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:16 | |
-Are we all done at £32? -Good man! | 0:40:16 | 0:40:20 | |
That's a £27 profit. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:22 | |
Now who's laughing, Philip? | 0:40:22 | 0:40:24 | |
I'm getting my bottom smacked here. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:27 | |
Le's not go there, shall we? | 0:40:27 | 0:40:29 | |
Moving right along, it's Philip's rollers. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:34 | |
£60 with me. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:36 | |
£60 with me? | 0:40:36 | 0:40:37 | |
-£60?! -£60 with me and selling. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:41 | |
And just like that, the old fox is back. | 0:40:42 | 0:40:46 | |
Now, while many parts from his wool winder have dropped off, | 0:40:46 | 0:40:50 | |
apparently there's still just enough to go to auction. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:52 | |
Lots of bids on the book. With me at £80. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:57 | |
-This seems cheap. -No. -£80. £85 at the very back. | 0:40:57 | 0:41:03 | |
Are we all done at £85? | 0:41:03 | 0:41:06 | |
He's £60 up before commission. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:09 | |
Seriously, how does he do it? | 0:41:09 | 0:41:12 | |
So now, it's down to your bowl, isn't it? | 0:41:12 | 0:41:15 | |
This Lalique dish has caused Catherine | 0:41:15 | 0:41:18 | |
at least one sleepless night so far. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:21 | |
But can it change her fortunes? | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
I'm getting really nervous. I've got goose pimples. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:27 | |
What you've been waiting for. It's the Lalique dish. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:30 | |
-£5 for a start. -Five?! -£5 to my right. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:34 | |
I'm sorry, did she just say five? | 0:41:34 | 0:41:36 | |
Someone fetch Catherine a sweet sherry, quick. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:39 | |
I think she'll need it. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:40 | |
-£35 at the very back. -I can't listen to this. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
50. 60. 75. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:48 | |
-£80 at the very back. -This is just a joke. No way! | 0:41:48 | 0:41:53 | |
-85. 90. -Come on! -Are we all done at £90? | 0:41:53 | 0:41:59 | |
And I'm afraid that is a loss. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:03 | |
I can't believe that. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:05 | |
That is just a joke! That's a joke. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:09 | |
That is a joke. That is the biggest joke of the auction. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:13 | |
Catherine started this leg with £249.38, | 0:42:13 | 0:42:18 | |
and after auction costs has made a profit of £11.72, | 0:42:18 | 0:42:24 | |
giving her £261.10 to spend tomorrow. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:29 | |
Meanwhile, Philip started with £442.36, | 0:42:29 | 0:42:33 | |
and after auction costs, he's up £51.14, | 0:42:33 | 0:42:37 | |
which means the lead is still his with £493.50 in the kitty. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:44 | |
-It really wasn't that bad, you know. -It was! | 0:42:44 | 0:42:47 | |
-How can you say it wasn't bad? -Honestly - -It was awful. It was tragic! | 0:42:47 | 0:42:52 | |
I am sure you'll be back with a vengeance. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:56 | |
No, I think I've lost it. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:58 | |
Is this going to cost me a very large drink? | 0:42:58 | 0:43:00 | |
-The largest you've ever bought. -Really? -Ohh...! | 0:43:00 | 0:43:05 | |
Next time... We're all at sea in the Lake District | 0:43:05 | 0:43:08 | |
where Catherine's risking it all. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 | |
-I'm going to live dangerously. -Are you? | 0:43:11 | 0:43:13 | |
Philip's using his sex appeal. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:15 | |
You're an angel! You're an angel! | 0:43:15 | 0:43:18 | |
And the gloves are coming off. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:21 | |
Actually, that could be a very young Phil Serrell! | 0:43:21 | 0:43:24 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:43:24 | 0:43:26 | |
If he comes in here, please don't mention that! | 0:43:26 | 0:43:29 | |
