0:00:02 > 0:00:07- The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each and one big challenge.- It's war!
0:00:07 > 0:00:15- Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?- This is hard.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19- The aim is to trade up and hope to turn a profit.- Come on!
0:00:19 > 0:00:24It's not as easy as you might think and things don't always go to plan.
0:00:24 > 0:00:29Will they race off with a huge profit or come to a grinding halt?
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:35 > 0:00:41Holding up traffic from the Highlands to England's glorious north,
0:00:41 > 0:00:48Philip Serrell and Catherine Southon may be rivals, but they're also becoming the best of friends.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52There's loads of traffic behind us. Philip, shut up a minute. Ooh!
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- That was my knee.- Sorry!
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Whoops! So far in this contest, it's the Silver Fox out in front.
0:01:00 > 0:01:06- So, Mr Moneybags, take some risks! - I'm taking one at the moment, sitting here!
0:01:06 > 0:01:12Surprising us and himself, Philip has turned his original £200 stake
0:01:12 > 0:01:16into a staggering £493.50
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- What am I going to spend it on? - Goats!- They're sheep.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- No, they're goats. - You're from London, aren't you?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Catherine's boosted the coffers by just £61.10,
0:01:27 > 0:01:32but, tired of playing second fiddle, today she's a woman on a mission.
0:01:33 > 0:01:39- Despite disappointment at the auction house for three crushing days in a row...- That's just a joke.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43That's a joke. That IS a joke.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47..on this fourth leg she's determined to come out on top.
0:01:47 > 0:01:53Yes, she'll fight, she'll negotiate and she'll hug her way to the top.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Oh, you're so lovely.
0:01:56 > 0:02:02- But will it be enough to beat the Silvery Fox?- I just haven't had my lucky break yet.
0:02:02 > 0:02:08Certainly haven't. This week's road trip is taking us from the north-east of Scotland,
0:02:08 > 0:02:14through the Lake District to Liverpool. Today we're en route to the market town of Sedbergh
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and we'll end this leg with an auction in Leeds.
0:02:17 > 0:02:24Whilst it's in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Sedbergh's officially part of the Lake District.
0:02:24 > 0:02:30What really puts it on the map is its boarding school, renowned for producing world-class sportsmen
0:02:30 > 0:02:36including three English rugby captains, but now the real competition is on the high street.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42- Oh, ace bit of parking.- It's not! That was dreadful.- Well, we stopped.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Which one do you want to go to? - I'm going to the chip shop.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- I'm going that way.- Get out of here.
0:02:49 > 0:02:55Philip's first stop is a walk down Memory Lane, a shop that Susan's filled with the kitchen gadgets
0:02:55 > 0:03:01- you'd typically find in the 19th century. - I love this here.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07I would guess it's a press. It's not for weighing things. It's to force something down.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13- Farmers' wives did everything with the offal.- They did. - They'd press tongue.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Or cheese or something like that.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19If you think about it, that is completely and utterly useless.
0:03:19 > 0:03:25- What an earth would you do with that?- A door stop! - Well, I don't know.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30- It's a fun good-looking thing.- A bit like you! And there's plenty more.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34A sycamore dairy bowl. It would be turned on a lathe.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39The grain is not circular on a piece of wood. It goes that way.
0:03:39 > 0:03:46So when you turn it, part of it is across the grain. That's why these bowls often become oval or split.
0:03:46 > 0:03:52- Anything to do with food was made out of sycamore. It's got a natural antiseptic in it.- Really?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Butchers' blocks are made of it.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- What's the bottom line for that and that?- 25 for the weight.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01And 65 for the bowl.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05I'm going to forget that because it is utterly useless.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- OK.- Is 55 any good?
0:04:07 > 0:04:0960.
0:04:09 > 0:04:15- And that's it.- Is it?- Yeah. - It's such a fair price and I'm being mean.- Isn't he?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Though there's no denying Philip has the eye for the unusual.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23It's a real fun thing. This is a meat tenderiser.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28If you've got some ropey old rump, you'd give it a bash with that side
0:04:28 > 0:04:32and if it was a bit of tender fillet, you'd use that side.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Sue, would this be like 1880-ish?
0:04:35 > 0:04:41- yeah, late Victorian. - Can I give you 70 quid for the two? - Go on.- Oh, you're an angel!
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Come here. Oh, you're an angel.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48That's the best bit ever. I'm going to get some money out now.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52While Philip's using his animal magnetism to save a few pounds,
0:04:52 > 0:04:57a few doors down it's Catherine's turn to charm the locals.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Hello.
0:04:59 > 0:05:06- Avril.- Hi, Avril. Good to meet you. Is it OK to have a little look? - Two rooms, a lot of corners...
0:05:06 > 0:05:13In this slightly chaotic assortment of books, collectables and vintage clothing,
0:05:13 > 0:05:18Catherine's searching for one object that'll blow the bidders away.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21After quite a search, finally she likes what she sees.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25That's lovely, isn't it? Probably an over mantel mirror.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29I like the hammered copper over wood. Arts and Crafts?
0:05:29 > 0:05:35I think so. The Arts and Crafts used a lot of worked copper.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40The Arts and Crafts movement flourished between 1860 and 1910.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44At its heart was a rebellion against mass production.
0:05:44 > 0:05:52Instead, traditional craftsmanship was favoured, often using medieval forms of decoration.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It's simple, but quite charming.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02- What could you do on that, Avril? - Haggle a bit.- What's the ticket price?- 65 on it now.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'd be looking at about 20.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Ooh!
0:06:07 > 0:06:09No, I can't do that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Our absolute rock bottom on that would be 35.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- I'm going to ponder and wander. - Ponder and wander.- Is it all right?
0:06:17 > 0:06:25As Catherine ponders and wanders, Avril wonders if she might be interested in this,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29The Prints of Sir Edwin Landseer, Queen Victoria's favourite painter.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34I do like Landseer. All the deer and cats and dogs.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Very sentimental.- Oh, totally, yes.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Look at that very naughty boy!
0:06:40 > 0:06:43There he is in the naughty corner.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47That could be a very young Phil Serrell!
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Ssh! Don't tell him. If he comes in, don't mention that.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- Does he pout like that?- No, but he's got chubby chops, just like that.
0:06:56 > 0:07:03- What did you say you wanted on this? - We'd had 75 on it, but we're open to offers on this one.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Are you? Low offers?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Naturally, coming from you it would be!
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Could I just take the mirror for 30? - No.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16No, it's too little.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18OK, 32. That's my last offer.
0:07:19 > 0:07:2135, gotta be.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Oh, go on. 32.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28I just can't do it. Sorry.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- You are not going to move, are you? - I'm not.- OK, 35.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I'm going to go for it. 35.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Good for you, Avril!
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- How are you?- I'm all right. You look very sheepish.- I bought a sheep.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Did you spend lots of money? - For me, I spent a load.- Bye!
0:07:48 > 0:07:54You naughty boy. Now let's see what he thinks of Avril's very unusual shop.
0:07:54 > 0:08:01- Blimey! You've got some stuff in a small space.- Let me know if you need any help.- I'll look at the nightwear.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06Sadly, there's nothing in women's nightwear close to Philip's taste.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- Millinery is a different story. - The Boy George of the auction world?
0:08:11 > 0:08:17I think that suits you, sir, but I'd have a different colour. Doesn't go with your complexion.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Something in mauve, perhaps? Catherine is now spoiled for choice.
0:08:21 > 0:08:27You've got a beautiful shop. All gorgeous things over my price range!
0:08:27 > 0:08:33Though being an expert in all things scientific, how can she possibly resist a military telescope?
0:08:33 > 0:08:37This looks quite late. Say about 1940...
0:08:37 > 0:08:42There we are. Stamped 1940. Broadhurst Clarkson and Co. Good maker.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- How much?- Make me an offer on that.
0:08:45 > 0:08:4710?
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- £20. - It's lost its little cover there.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54To be honest, it's not great.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- Very dirty, isn't it? - Very dirty.- Yeah.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Very dusty. Gosh! Where did you get this from?!
0:09:02 > 0:09:0413.
0:09:06 > 0:09:12I'm thinking of all the bad things about it, i.e. the dust. You can't really see out of it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16It would need to be bought on its looks rather than its use.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19At the moment it's not brilliant.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Therefore I think my top would actually be 8 on that.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I'll go to 10. From 12 to 10.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I really can't do any better.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Also there is a whacking great dent in the side of it, in the brass.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- Eight would be my maximum on that. - Go on, then.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- Eight? Shall we say eight?- Mm-hm. - Great. Thank you very much.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- I haven't got £2, I don't think. - That's fine. I can give you five.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- No...- I can give you five.- No, no.
0:09:48 > 0:09:54As for the competition, he's decided to spend his money somewhere else.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59I've got some lakes to see. You don't mind if I drive, do you?
0:09:59 > 0:10:05- Give me a chance to get the door closed!- I'm in a rush. I want to see the lakes.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11As we venture deeper into the Lake District, our next stop is the town of Windermere.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14This is terribly exciting for me.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19I've never been to the Lakes before. Ohhh! Water!
0:10:19 > 0:10:25Sitting just half a mile from Lake Windermere, England's largest natural lake,
0:10:25 > 0:10:31the town was once three separate hamlets called Birthwaite, Applethwaite and Heathwaite,
0:10:31 > 0:10:38but the arrival of the railway in 1857, along with a keen interest in attracting tourists,
0:10:38 > 0:10:42led to the three becoming one, taking the new name of Windermere.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I might be strapped for cash here.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Can I borrow some of your 500?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Let me think about it. No.
0:10:50 > 0:10:56With just over £200 in hand, Catherine's headed here to Courtyard Cottage Antiques.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Mind the flowers! OK, have fun!
0:11:00 > 0:11:07In this lovely shop, I'm sure Catherine will be tempted to spend every penny of it.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10It seems really tranquil with the sound of the clocks.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12It's just...
0:11:12 > 0:11:15ALL THE CLOCKS CHIME
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Pardon?! What was that?!
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Now that I love.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26I'm not going to buy glass, but isn't that wonderful?
0:11:26 > 0:11:32It's so retro. If you sold that down in London, I'm sure you'd do rather well.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36That's a fab thing, but I'm not going to look at it. It's glass.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41- How about something that's only 50% glass?- That's jolly nice. A skeleton clock.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46The name skeleton comes from you seeing the workings,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48the mechanics of the clock.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51We've got a signature on the dial there.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56It's going to be completely out of my price range, but I'll ask.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- How much is on that, just out of interest?- £2,000.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Just take off a few noughts and we'll be there.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05It's beautiful.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10After a hard day's shopping, Philip's rushing off to the pub.
0:12:10 > 0:12:16Well, a former pub in the nearby village of Grasmere, famous as a former residence
0:12:16 > 0:12:20of Britain's most-loved poet, William Wordsworth.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Giving our man the guided tour is Paul.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28- Ah, you must be Paul.- I am. How are you?- Really good.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- This is fantastic.- Very peaceful.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Except in 10 minutes the cuckoo clock will go off!
0:12:34 > 0:12:39Born and bred in the Lake District, Wordsworth studied at Cambridge
0:12:39 > 0:12:47and travelled Revolutionary France before taking up residence at Dove Cottage with his wife Mary.
0:12:47 > 0:12:53It's here his life as a true poet began, going on to write The Prelude, Tintern Abbey
0:12:53 > 0:12:58and his most famous poem, I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud.
0:12:58 > 0:13:04- Is this the room where it all happened?- Yes. This is where he committed his thoughts to paper.
0:13:04 > 0:13:10- He looked out of here and got inspiration.- It'd be a lovely view.
0:13:10 > 0:13:16So this is his writing room and there's no desk or no bureau or no...
0:13:16 > 0:13:21- What did he write on? - He hated desks. He called them instruments of torture.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25We're told this is the very chair that he sat in.
0:13:25 > 0:13:31- How prolific was he?- He was very prolific here. In eight years he wrote the vast bulk of his work.
0:13:31 > 0:13:39Wordsworth also went on to have five children, which brings us to the nursery, wallpapered with The Times
0:13:39 > 0:13:43for the sake of some much-needed insulation.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48But the story goes there was one other child.
0:13:48 > 0:13:54While he was down in France, he met a lady who was slightly older than him, maybe more experienced.
0:13:54 > 0:14:00- In what?- Well, let's just say that shortly after he left a child was born, Caroline.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05And in 1802, before he came and collected his wife to be,
0:14:05 > 0:14:12he met her and it's very possible that he settled an amount of money on her to bring up the child.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- I'll say no more. - I think I'll take up poetry.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22Also a resident at Dove Cottage was Wordsworth's sister, Dorothy,
0:14:22 > 0:14:26who in fact inspired that famous poem we all know.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30This is one of Dorothy's diaries. She kept detailed, daily diaries.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35This is a record of a walk they went on on 15th April, 1802.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39They walked over to Ullswater and while they walked by the lake,
0:14:39 > 0:14:43they came across a host of daffodils.
0:14:45 > 0:14:53What she writes here is about the experience of seeing them. William will have remembered it.
0:14:53 > 0:14:59- And the poem is about remembering the experience.- And that prompted... - CLEARS THROAT
0:14:59 > 0:15:06"I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills..."
0:15:06 > 0:15:12- Go on. - No, you see I never paid much attention in English Lit!
0:15:12 > 0:15:15In that case, allow me to enlighten you.
0:15:15 > 0:15:21"When all at once I saw a crowd A host of golden daffodils..."
0:15:21 > 0:15:26What's lovely about it is you've got the inspiration for probably
0:15:26 > 0:15:33- the best-known verse, in a way, and it's just a humble notebook. - It is.- No glitz or glamour to it.
0:15:35 > 0:15:42Speaking of no glitz, no glamour, Catherine's thinking about buying this copper cake stand,
0:15:42 > 0:15:48which despite Jean and Barry's best efforts has been sitting here for a very long time.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52People don't like buying copper because they've got to clean it.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55You'd be quite glad to see it go?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- After five years, yes. - Five years?!
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Maybe I don't want it after all!
0:16:00 > 0:16:04It's got cobwebs on it. Look.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- I'm tempted. - I can do you a good deal on that.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- How good is good?- 45 quid.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15It's just I'm having a really bad time at the moment.
0:16:16 > 0:16:22- I'm having a bad time because Philip Serrell is stealing the limelight. - We don't want Philip to win!
0:16:22 > 0:16:28- No, we don't want Philip to win. - I feel really mean saying this cos I'm not a mean person,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32but I'm tempted at more the sort of 25, 30 mark.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- Oh, dear. - That wasn't a serious bid.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40I'm being completely serious. Twenty-five.
0:16:40 > 0:16:47Oh, you're giving me really scary looks. I feel like I'm going to be told off by my headmaster!
0:16:47 > 0:16:5025 and we'll go for it.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51OK.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Oh! How kind.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- Oh, he's giving you not very nice looks.- It don't matter.
0:16:58 > 0:17:04- I'm going to live dangerously. - Are you?- Yes. I'm going to buy it for 25.- Not 30?- No.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- Don't hate me, will you? - Absolutely not!
0:17:09 > 0:17:14And with that another day on the antique trail comes to a close.
0:17:14 > 0:17:20- What did you buy? Tell me. - No, I'm not telling you! - Tell me, tell me, tell me!
0:17:23 > 0:17:29Day Two and despite the grey, grey skies, our experts can't help but admire
0:17:29 > 0:17:37- the rugged beauty of the Lake District as they dash to the next shop.- You're very chirpy today!
0:17:37 > 0:17:44- I like being here. It's lovely. - Oh, look!- Goats, everywhere(!) - They're not goats.- Are they not?
0:17:44 > 0:17:50The only goat's you, Phil. So far, you have spent £70 on two auction lots
0:17:50 > 0:17:55and thanks to your animal magnetism have £420 in the kitty.
0:17:55 > 0:18:01- I'm going to spend £5 in each shop. - Don't be boring. Live a little!
0:18:01 > 0:18:06Catherine, on the other hand, has parted with £68 for three lots.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11With £192 up her sleeve, she plans to bring down her competition.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16I want you to spend, spend, spend today.
0:18:16 > 0:18:22Our first stop today is Ulverston, the birthplace of comedian Stan Laurel.
0:18:22 > 0:18:29After visiting the Glasgow music hall where Stan's career began on the second leg of this road trip,
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Catherine's keen to see Ulverston's very own Laurel and Hardy Museum.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- I can't wait. It'll be fantastic. - Which one am I, then?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Am I Stan or Ollie?- Bye!
0:18:40 > 0:18:48This local landmark is the work of passionate collector Bill Cubin, the former Mayor of Ulverston.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Sadly, he's passed away, but his legacy lives on, thanks to his grandson Mark.
0:18:53 > 0:18:59- That's him here.- Oh, wow. - That's me and my little brother and from the age of very young
0:18:59 > 0:19:05we were dressed up in bowlers and spiky hair. My brother had a cushion shoved up his jumper.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I always got to be Stan.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Bill's collection began almost by accident in the early '70s
0:19:13 > 0:19:18when he discovered Stan's childhood home was being modernised.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Stuff from Stan's grandparents' house is here.
0:19:21 > 0:19:28The mangle and the old washing machine. Stan's smalls would have gone through there at one point.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- Maybe they did!- So he took it and started collecting pictures
0:19:33 > 0:19:36and news clippings and anything he ever saw about them.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Eventually, it turned into this huge hoard of stuff.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45From tea pots to waxworks, movie posters and production stills,
0:19:45 > 0:19:52even Laurel and Hardy bars of soap, there wasn't anything that Bill wouldn't collect.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57You've got everything here. Every possible type of statue.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Any time he saw or heard about Laurel and Hardy, he grabbed it.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04I love all this lovely memorabilia.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09Ulverston's other local hero went on to be one half
0:20:09 > 0:20:15of the world's most famous comedy dup, a partnership that lasted more than 30 years
0:20:15 > 0:20:18and involved a staggering 106 films.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Stan had a great deal of creative control over everything.
0:20:22 > 0:20:29- Off-screen, he was the brains, which you wouldn't expect.- No. On the films, we see him as the...
0:20:29 > 0:20:33But Stan would edit, write, direct, do a huge amount of work.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37To Ollie it was a job. He wanted to have a round of golf.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Really? He did his job and went home?- Yeah.
0:20:40 > 0:20:47While museum founder Bill passed away more than a decade ago, his collection is in safe hands,
0:20:47 > 0:20:54although a visit here wouldn't be complete without a look at its crowning glory - Stan Laurel's hat.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Incredible. That is very special.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59You're stroking it like a pet!
0:21:01 > 0:21:05That is very, very special. I feel very privileged to touch that.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- You can try it on if you like.- Can I?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Wow!
0:21:12 > 0:21:14He did have a very small head.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16What do you think?
0:21:16 > 0:21:2320 minutes down the road, Phil is en route to the nearby town of Cartmel.
0:21:23 > 0:21:29When you look over there at the scenery, why do people go abroad?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I suppose if you look up there, that's why.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37Famous for both its 12th-century priory and sticky toffee pudding,
0:21:37 > 0:21:42first created here in the village shop, it's also home to Simon Starkie Antiques,
0:21:42 > 0:21:48which I think it's fair to say Philip thinks is quite fantastic.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52You have got a fantastic shop here. That's a fantastic dresser.
0:21:52 > 0:21:58That's a fantastic Windsor chair. You've got some fantastic things and my pockets are too deep.
0:21:58 > 0:22:04- And they're empty. That's another problem.- And if you believe that, you'll believe anything.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Though Jane does have something else Philip considers to be...well, fantastic.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12# Fly away... #
0:22:12 > 0:22:15How much is your Jonathan Livingston Seagull?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- Would it be expensive?- I don't think so. It could be within budget.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I'm not sure I'm any the wiser at the minute.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Do you know who painted it?
0:22:25 > 0:22:31- Simon Starkie.- The guy who owns this shop?- Yeah.- He is a man of many talents.- He is.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36- He did train as a fine artist. - He's got this to look like it's 1870.- Yes.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38He's a clever man. How much is that?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I could do this one for you for £85.
0:22:41 > 0:22:48- Can you do me a real favour? - I'll try.- Could you ring Simon?- OK. - I'd love to buy it off him for £50.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Hello, Simon... The seagull.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Would £50 be agreeable?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55OK.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- It's like waiting for your exam results.- Bye.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04He'll go to 65. That is his best price on that one.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- Could you just find out what is the very, very...- Bottom line?- Yeah.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Fingers crossed for a deal. - OK, yeah...
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Do I need to sit down? - You probably might need to sit down.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20He's put the price up to £95?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Well, the very best we can do... - Yeah?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25For you, £55.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- I'm going to buy it. - You'll have it?- I love it.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32And after that interesting purchase,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35our experts are now headed east in the rain.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39If you're wondering if the Triumph is waterproof, the answer is...
0:23:39 > 0:23:42It's not so much a roof. It's more of a sieve.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- CATHERINE LAUGHS - It is, isn't it?
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Our next port of call is Kirkby Lonsdale
0:23:49 > 0:23:53which sits, rather attractively, on the River Lune.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I like that name - Kirkby Lonsdale.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Sounds like he should be in the lower fourth at school.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02"I'm going for a game of rugger with Kirkby Lonsdale."
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Having gained its market charter almost 800 years ago,
0:24:06 > 0:24:11Kirkby Lonsdale has been a bustling centre for trade ever since.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15And at one point, during the 19th century, it boasted 29 pubs.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20Now there is no time to imbibe because there's shopping to do.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25- I think this is our last chance. - I feel an enormous amount of pressure at the moment.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- I feel an enormous amount of rain. - This is my last chance...- Bye.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Oh, bye. I guess I'm going this way.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37With no sympathy on offer, Catherine is headed for the former police station,
0:24:37 > 0:24:42now one very cramped antiques store which Amanda has filled with many a gorgeous thing.
0:24:42 > 0:24:49I'm going to be extremely difficult and ask if you could open this cabinet straight away.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- I'll just put it a bit that way. - Right.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Then I've just got to move this table.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I'll move this to here.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Now you can get in.- Well, I can't actually.- No, you can't.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04LAUGHTER No, you can't. Right...
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- This is really clever. I've hemmed myself in.- There you go.- Lovely.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- What's this? Punch? - They're Punch and Judy nutcrackers.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16So we've got a little Judy on one side and Punch on the other.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18There's a nice bit of wear to them.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23- Nice sort of verdigris inside. - I think they're probably about 1900.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- What could you do on those? - The best would be 50.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31I do like them, but I think 40 would be my limit.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36- Can we have a think about those? - Just put anything on one side and then have a think about it.
0:25:36 > 0:25:42Despite being trapped in this corner, Catherine soon finds something else she rather likes.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46That's a rather nice card case. It looks to be in beautiful condition.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- It's more of a man's thing.- Is it silver?- It's engine-turned silver.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Your card goes in there and it snaps closed.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- It's flat to go in a man's pocket. - I quite like that.
0:25:56 > 0:26:02- You can imagine a businessman today in London...- Yeah. - "Do you want one of my cards?"
0:26:02 > 0:26:07I like the little cartouche there, so you can put your initials on.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09How much is this?
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- It's 140.- What could you come down to on that one?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- 100.- I really couldn't possibly go... above 90.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20I'm struggling beyond belief.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Could you go for 60 on that?
0:26:23 > 0:26:27I'd have lost money on it. I'd have lost £30 on it at 60.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Oh, dear. What's a woman on a mission meant to do?
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Oh, yes, that's right. Have a nice cup of tea.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39On the other side of town, Philip is having a quick poke around Dales Antiques
0:26:39 > 0:26:41under the watchful eye of Leonard
0:26:41 > 0:26:44who is looking very dapper indeed.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I do like a nice bow tie!
0:26:46 > 0:26:50This is a great bit of Worcester. Probably came up the M6 with me.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54This is called Blush Ivory, painted with flowers.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56This is part of a much larger service.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01There probably would have been 12 plates, two comports and two tazzas.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Comports are plates on a stand and tazzas are plates on a lower stand.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09The man who did these was a guy called Edward Raby.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Because they weren't allowed to sign these,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Edward Raby had a bit of an ego
0:27:14 > 0:27:18and he used to work his signature, a little "ER", into the foliage.
0:27:18 > 0:27:24You can look at these for ever and a day and sometimes see the little ER and sometimes you can't.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29Well, Philip, I'm looking, but I'm definitely not seeing.
0:27:29 > 0:27:35If I put a couple of things together, can I try and bid you for two things in one go?
0:27:35 > 0:27:39You can try and bid me, yes. I know where my figures are.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42The emphasis on the word "try" I'm a bit anxious of.
0:27:42 > 0:27:48Having made her way through a cup of tea and three digestives, but who's counting,
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Catherine is ready to re-negotiate.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53So we talked... We said 70
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- and 40.- Hmm.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Can you do both of them together for 90?
0:27:59 > 0:28:03No. I'm losing more and more money every time you speak.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I'm losing more and more money!
0:28:05 > 0:28:10- I'm so desperate. You can't blame me for trying.- 100. 100, final.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- Shall we say 95 for both of them? - OK, fine. That's it.
0:28:14 > 0:28:20Are we going to stop there or are you going to look at it again, point out the hallmarks and say...?
0:28:20 > 0:28:24No, I do really like it. I think it's jolly nice.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28You know what, Amanda? I could just sit here and chat to you all day.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Oh, really? This could cost Amanda a fortune.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35As for Philip, something else has caught his fancy.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39I love little boxes. These are fantastic. These are Tunbridge Ware.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44Produced in Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells during the 19th century,
0:28:44 > 0:28:50this mosaic art form was achieved by using a mix of local and foreign timbers.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53And it boasted quite the colour range.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Even green.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00But will one of these boxes be the perfect companion to Philip's Royal Worcester?
0:29:00 > 0:29:06The best I could probably do on that, realistically, is going to be £75 on its own.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Ouch! Really?
0:29:09 > 0:29:14- What about this Tunbridge Ware box? - That's a fabulous little box.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19Again, because it's just a fabulous thing and a fabulous colour,
0:29:19 > 0:29:21on its own, it would be 85.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26- So you're talking in terms of about a hundred and what for the two?- 150.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28I just don't think I can do that.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- I'm going to get all the money out I've got in my pocket.- 100.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Look at the quality. It's a lovely colour.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Look at the quality of it. Look at the colour.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- This is 100 of the finest pound notes of the realm.- Yes.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Will that buy them? - No, it won't, actually.
0:29:46 > 0:29:53- I did say 150 and I've come down to 130.- You've done me proud. - I'm kind of trying.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55I tell you what I'll do.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57How about 110?
0:29:57 > 0:30:01- 120.- 110 and I'll have a deal with you.- 120.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- I think you can do another ten. - I tell you what I'll do.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08There you are, look - £115. That's job done.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- That'll be fine.- You're a gentleman. - Thank you very much.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Well, I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted.
0:30:16 > 0:30:23Time to cross the town square, so that Philip and Catherine can reveal to each other what they've bought.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- Here we go. This is weighty! - I like that.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31- It's got an Arts and Crafts look. - Hopefully. I bought it as an Arts and Crafts mirror.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- What did you pay for that?- £35.
0:30:35 > 0:30:41- Why did you go...?- Well, it's not my sort of thing, really, but I can see why you bought it.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43I should do all right with that.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48- I bought that. - I'm not a huge Worcester fan,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51but I can appreciate that that is rather beautiful.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Quite a nice cabinet plate. 60 quid.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58- How much is it worth?- I think it'll knock the door of £80 to £100.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- I thought that was a chip, but it's not.- No.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- That's cool.- This is a refracting telescope. It's military.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08It needs a bit of TLC, but I paid £8 for it.
0:31:08 > 0:31:14- Eight quid?- It hasn't got a lens cap here and at the end here, it hasn't got its little cover.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19- £8 for that is nothing. A little Tunbridge Ware box.- Ah!
0:31:19 > 0:31:22It's a cotton reel holder, isn't it?
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- You look visibly moved.- No. - Really moved.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28The object itself is not terribly exciting,
0:31:28 > 0:31:33but in terms of Tunbridge Ware, it's actually quite a nice example.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36All the little pieces look completely perfect.
0:31:36 > 0:31:41- I paid £55 for it.- I don't think you'll make a loss.- I hope not.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Now, this one, I bought it, then I regretted it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49It's worrying that you start making excuses for it before I've seen it.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53- It's a little copper cake stand. - I've seen worse. What did you pay?
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- 25.- You're fine and dandy with that, aren't you?
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Now, if you don't behave...
0:32:02 > 0:32:04..I'm going to tenderise you.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- I just love that.- A meat tenderiser!
0:32:07 > 0:32:09- That's lovely.- I really like that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12As meat tenderisers go, that's a nice one.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16These novelty Punch and Judy things are pretty cool now, aren't they?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19That's absolutely fine and dandy.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23I don't want things to be fine and dandy, Phil. I want them to be good.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27I wouldn't be surprised if that made you £40 or £50.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- I bought it for 35.- No, £40 or £50 on top of that.- Oh, OK.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- But it's a cool thing.- It's nice.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36I sort of couldn't resist that, really.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Sycamore dairy bowl, 19th century.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42That's lovely. That's got Phil Serrell all over it.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- That was £55.- I love that.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- That could make close to 100.- Yeah.
0:32:47 > 0:32:54- Let me see your last item. I really am anxious about my last one. - I've never seen you worried before.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Oh, a little card case. That's really beautiful.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Silver?- Absolutely, and hallmarked on every single panel.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06Silver's not what it was, in truth. Is that £65-worth?
0:33:06 > 0:33:08I paid £60 for it.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12I thought it was very special and I actually really love it.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17- I think you're mean about this.- Do you want to get your own back?- Yeah.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19# Fly away... #
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- The guy...- I hate seagulls!
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- Really?- I really hate seagulls, but that's quite nice.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30I've taken a gamble. On a bad day, that could make £20 or £25.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32And on a good day, it might make 100.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36As the competition intensifies between these two,
0:33:36 > 0:33:39both parties are feeling nervous about the auction.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43I was a bit disappointed about the card case.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47I thought he was going to say, "That'll probably make £100."
0:33:47 > 0:33:52I don't think her mirror is quite good enough and her cake stand falls into the same boat.
0:33:52 > 0:33:58- I don't know if I'm looking forward to the auction or not.- I've bought with my heart and not with my head.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00She could be catching me up here.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Oh!
0:34:02 > 0:34:05After starting off in Sedbergh,
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Philip and Catherine end this, the fourth leg of their road trip,
0:34:09 > 0:34:11in the fair city of Leeds.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- What's Leeds famous for? Is Leeds famous for anything?- No.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21This vibrant city has more than 1,000 years of history under its belt,
0:34:21 > 0:34:24from a small Saxon village to an industrial giant,
0:34:24 > 0:34:28and it has one of the largest groups of listed buildings in Britain,
0:34:28 > 0:34:32but how will it affect the fortunes of our competitors?
0:34:32 > 0:34:36- I think you'll come out on top. - You are so predictable.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41Every one so far, you've said, "You're going to do really well," and every one I haven't!
0:34:41 > 0:34:46Yes, but on this leg, Philip has bought with his heart, not his head,
0:34:46 > 0:34:51so our visit to Gary Don Auctioneers could be very interesting indeed.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Here we are!
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- I tell you what, if your seagull flies away...- Yeah.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01..I am going completely crackers.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Going under the hammer today, there is everything from vintage cars
0:35:05 > 0:35:07to this De Vries painting,
0:35:07 > 0:35:12expected to fetch in excess of £10,000.
0:35:12 > 0:35:18What better place to tempt potential bidders with the likes of Philip's meat tenderiser?
0:35:18 > 0:35:21All done at £3,500... Number 5.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24The man running the show is Gary Don himself,
0:35:24 > 0:35:28so how does he rate the chances of our experts?
0:35:28 > 0:35:34The glass on the telescope is a bit cloudy, so if you want three-quarters of the picture, you should buy it.
0:35:34 > 0:35:40A couple of people have looked at the seagull. I don't know if that's because they want to buy it
0:35:40 > 0:35:44or they're thinking, "Wow, I don't like the way that was drawn."
0:35:44 > 0:35:49I'm sure they'll come up with some sort of name for that sort of art in the future.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52My favourite is the meat pounder.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56I'd use that as a hammer when things were quiet in the auction.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Loads of interesting items. I've no idea what they've given for them.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03I just hope it's not a lot.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Philip started this leg with £493.50
0:36:07 > 0:36:13- and has gone on to spend £240 on five auction lots. - That'll be fine.- You're a gentleman.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Catherine, meanwhile, began with £261.10
0:36:17 > 0:36:23and has parted with £163, also for five auction lots.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27It's a full house, but given the calibre of what's on offer,
0:36:27 > 0:36:32our resident king of the daft and the different is starting to worry.
0:36:32 > 0:36:39- Normally, you're secretly confident, but I don't think you are today.- No, far from it. This is crash and burn.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Well, in that case, let the auction begin.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45First up are Catherine's nutcrackers.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- Bit of a special item, this.- Special.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51It's a good piece, this. 12. 14.
0:36:51 > 0:36:5416. 18. 20. 22.
0:36:54 > 0:36:5824? £22. I'm selling at 22 on the front...
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- Oh, dear. Not exactly an encouraging start.- I'm gutted.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08- I think we're doomed for everything. - On that positive note, Catherine,
0:37:08 > 0:37:12let's move swiftly on to Philip's Tunbridge Ware cotton reel box,
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- which, for him, cost a small fortune.- 30. And 5. 40.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18And 5. 50. 5.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- I don't think you'll find another one.- I'm flabbergasted.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- Selling at £60...- Despite all that angst, after auction costs,
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Philip has just about broken even.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32I just think you're jammy with a capital J.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Catherine, too, has splashed out quite a tidy sum
0:37:35 > 0:37:38on this gentleman's card case.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43Do you know that your card case and I are the same age?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- What has worn better? - It has to be the card case.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- It's in perfect condition.- Oh, how sharper than a serpent's tooth!
0:37:50 > 0:37:53That's Shakespeare, by the way.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58- £20. And 5 anywhere? 25. 30... - Come on, you rotten lot.
0:37:58 > 0:38:0035. 40...
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- I have 55 here. 58. 60?- Come on.- 60.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- 61.- Oh, come on. 61, come on!
0:38:06 > 0:38:10No? That's what it's going to fetch - £60.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Don't say anything. Just don't say anything.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Even though nothing else has,
0:38:17 > 0:38:22Catherine's military telescope may excite the good burghers of Leeds.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- Are you ready for this? - I don't know any more, Phil.
0:38:25 > 0:38:2830. 5. I don't think you'll find another one.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- 40. 45 anywhere?- Come on.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- I'm giving this away.- Giving it away!
0:38:33 > 0:38:37Are you absolutely positive that you don't want... 45.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- Thank you. 45. 46? - Come on, it's cheap.
0:38:40 > 0:38:46- 46. 47. 48?- We're going in pound increments. This is painful.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- At £47, all done...?- Finally, Catherine's made some money,
0:38:50 > 0:38:53though she's still frowning.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55It's just painful. Oh!
0:38:55 > 0:38:57It's like...
0:38:57 > 0:39:01Next, it's Philip's meat tenderiser.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- It's a fantastic piece. - Fantastic piece.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07You should all have your hands up. I've 10 bid. 12. 16.
0:39:07 > 0:39:0920. 24. 28.
0:39:09 > 0:39:1232? 31...sir?
0:39:12 > 0:39:1431.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Selling at £31...
0:39:16 > 0:39:20That's the Silver Fox's first profit of the day.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Last time it was up for sale,
0:39:22 > 0:39:25this copper cake stand took five years to sell.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Should we be worried?
0:39:28 > 0:39:32If it gets any hotter in here... Are you going to fan me?
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- Are you bidding, madam? - No, I'm fanning.- Are you sure?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38I'm fanning my fellow contestant.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- As for the real bidders...- I'm starting with a big bid on my sheet
0:39:43 > 0:39:46of £5. I have 5 here.
0:39:46 > 0:39:5012. 14. 16. 18. 20.
0:39:50 > 0:39:5224. 26.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56- It's a steal.- It is a steal.- Are you going to let him have this at £30?
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Another pound? Anybody? Go on.
0:39:59 > 0:40:04- 31. 32...- Why are my things going up in pound increments? It's painful.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Selling at 32 on the front. Thank you very much.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11A surprise result, that, and quite a relief for Catherine.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13That's good, isn't it, for me?
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Having gone a bit mad on this leg,
0:40:16 > 0:40:21this Royal Worcester dish is the second of Philip's big purchases.
0:40:21 > 0:40:2330 bid. 40.
0:40:23 > 0:40:2645. It's got to be worth more than that, surely.
0:40:26 > 0:40:2946? I'm selling at 45. No?
0:40:30 > 0:40:35Now, that's disappointing. Oh, they're a tough lot here in Leeds!
0:40:35 > 0:40:38You've got to live with it. Turn the page.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40I shan't ever come to Leeds again.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Before you go, Philip, it's your third big purchase -
0:40:44 > 0:40:47the sycamore dairy bowl for £55.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51Now, this is going to be really interesting.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54I'm starting this at £24.
0:40:54 > 0:40:5626. 28. 30.
0:40:56 > 0:40:5932. 34. 36. 38.
0:40:59 > 0:41:0140. And 5.
0:41:01 > 0:41:0350. And 5.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- 60...- That's a relief!- No? 60 there.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08£60...
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Not bad, not bad, especially at today's auction.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16The next item is Catherine's so-called Arts and Crafts mirror.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21- This isn't going to be good. - Oh, thanks(!)- 10 bid. 15 anywhere?
0:41:21 > 0:41:2315. 20? 20.
0:41:23 > 0:41:2525? I've 20 here. 2 anywhere?
0:41:25 > 0:41:29- Come on.- 22. 24, thank you.
0:41:29 > 0:41:3126. 28?
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Selling at 26 at the back...
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Adding insult to injury, I'm afraid that's another loss.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Moving from collectables to fine arts now
0:41:42 > 0:41:46and it looks as if the De Vries painting is going great guns.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50I'm starting this at 13,000 on this phone. 13,500.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52£14,500.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Selling on this telephone...
0:41:55 > 0:41:58So does this bode well for Philip's seagull?
0:41:58 > 0:42:01So what shall we say? £50 to start this?
0:42:01 > 0:42:05- Ouch!- £50 to start this off? 30 then?
0:42:05 > 0:42:07I have 30 bid.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Any other bids? I have £30 here.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11I've 35 there. Thank you, sir.
0:42:11 > 0:42:1540. It's a cheap picture, this. 45, sir?
0:42:15 > 0:42:1845. 50? 50.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22And 5? I'll even take 2. We need the money.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- Don't we just! - At £50 on the right-hand side...
0:42:27 > 0:42:31And so it flutters off with a little more of Philip's money.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34- I've had a really bad day here. - We both have.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38I'll quietly go out and start the car. Are you coming?
0:42:38 > 0:42:42Catherine started this leg with £261.10.
0:42:42 > 0:42:47After auction costs, today she's made a loss of £9.66,
0:42:47 > 0:42:53leaving her with just £251.44 to spend tomorrow.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57Philip, meanwhile, started with £493.50
0:42:57 > 0:43:02and has made an even bigger loss of £38.28.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07Mark you, with £455.22 left in the kitty,
0:43:07 > 0:43:10he's still firmly in the lead.
0:43:10 > 0:43:15- How are you feeling?- I'm feeling absolutely beaten. It's like an emotional roller-coaster.
0:43:17 > 0:43:18Charge!
0:43:19 > 0:43:23- Do you think you've finally lost it, Phil?- I've lost it years ago.
0:43:23 > 0:43:29Next time, we're Liverpool-bound for Philip and Catherine's final auction.
0:43:29 > 0:43:34For the first time, every single item is going to make a profit.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36You heard it here first.
0:43:36 > 0:43:41- This time, they aren't pulling any punches.- I mean, it's about taking part.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44The hell it is! It's about winning!
0:43:44 > 0:43:47For in the contest, there can only be one winner!
