0:00:02 > 0:00:06The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each, and one big challenge.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Well, duck, do I buy you or don't I?
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?
0:00:12 > 0:00:16The aim is trade up, and hope that each antique turns a profit.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20But it's not as easy as it looks, and dreams of glory can end in tatters.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23I'm a loser! I'm a loser.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25So, will it be the fast lane to success,
0:00:25 > 0:00:26or the slow road to bankruptcy?
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Oh! There's a mouse! There's a mouse!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37We're still out there, man,
0:00:37 > 0:00:42fighting the elements and hurtling along the antiques highway.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45INDISTINCT SPEECH
0:00:45 > 0:00:49On this trip are our fine pair of experts - David Barby and Charles Hanson.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51This is it, this is the big one.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- You've got such a lead on me, how on earth am I going to make it up? - I'm a lap ahead.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- But, you know, you've got some legs on you, I'm sure.- Not at my age!
0:00:58 > 0:01:01THEY LAUGH
0:01:01 > 0:01:08Known simply as the Master, a man with serious, intimidating depth of antiques knowledge,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12yet strangely, David Barby just loves to shop.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14I'm going in.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Can't resist a bargain.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19And giving "the Master" a run for his money,
0:01:19 > 0:01:23the young pretender himself, Bonnie Prince Charles Hanson.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26An all-action auctioneer from Derbyshire.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31With the commission to pay as well, it'd need 30 to break even for me.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Are you OK?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Yeah, sorry, Charles, yeah, I've just lost the will to live.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Well, he can go on a bit.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39LAUGHTER
0:01:39 > 0:01:44But that's not stopped Charles from making lots and lots of money.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- GAVEL BANGS - Oh, that is marvellous, Charles.
0:01:47 > 0:01:54So, from his original £200, Charles is standing proud with a robust £400.96.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57That's brought a smile to his face.
0:01:57 > 0:02:03David, meanwhile, has struggled, despite his great skill at turning tiny profits.
0:02:03 > 0:02:09Do you know, you're the most irritating person, I absolutely...
0:02:09 > 0:02:17So, David languishes behind, with his £200 barely swollen to £261.68.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20All he needs now is the luck of the Road Trip.
0:02:22 > 0:02:29But the super-cool 1959 Hillman Minx is taking him dangerously close to Charles's home patch.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32You know, I know people.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36What I'm concerned about is you going to these dealers' shops,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39and they'll know you, they'll greet you like a long-lost friend.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- "Charles! How wonderful to see you!" - Get out of here! THEY LAUGH
0:02:42 > 0:02:46On this Road Trip, it's a huge 300-mile sprint -
0:02:46 > 0:02:50from Lichfield, south to Frome, back up north to the Wirral Peninsula,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53and ending in Nottingham for the final showdown.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57On this leg, they're leaving Congleton, heading through Derbyshire,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59and ending up at auction in Nottingham.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04Handsome, historical Stafford is the first port of call.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Awful cold.- Oh!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Do you want a kiss?- No.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10THEY LAUGH
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Just keep wiping the windscreen with that snotty tissue.
0:03:14 > 0:03:21Preparations are already under way for the 1,100th year anniversary of Stafford's foundation.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Kind Alfred the Great's daughter, Aethelflaed, is no longer with us,
0:03:25 > 0:03:31but she established the Borough of Stafford way back in AD 913.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33CAR DOOR SLAMS Come on, David, get eager!
0:03:33 > 0:03:37This is our last trip together. It's our last feeding frenzy of antiques.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Why do you use such language? - Because this is it!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- The...- Charles, do not touch me. You go down there, I'm going here.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47David, if you want to play hard, I'll play hard.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49David, it's only a game. David!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51A game to you, Charles.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56But David begins this shopping trip £139.28 down,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58and he needs a plan.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01My word, the pressure is on, so I've got my work cut out.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03My ploy - spend the lot.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Church Lane Antiques offers two floors of intriguing prospects,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11with lovely assistant Maureen to help.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Hello. Can I call you Maureen? - Please do.- Oh, good.
0:04:14 > 0:04:20- Now.- Hmm?- Is there anything that you personally think is absolutely a knock-out?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Well, where do I begin?
0:04:22 > 0:04:23I do like that.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- My main problem is that it has no mark on it whatsoever.- Mm-hmm.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31And that's 120, so I'll be quite honest, I'm losing at the moment.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I'm £150 down on Charles Hanson.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38And this is why I hesitate at that price of 120.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Well, complaining isn't going to help.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Keep looking, David.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Gosh, there's another shop up here!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48This is beautiful, beautiful decoration.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50All of that is hand-painted.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54And the sides are emulating basketwork.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00The mark on the back is Spode. Spode started bone china.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04There was a factory called New Hall that produced hard-paste porcelain,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08and they sold the clay to other manufacturers.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13And Spode used that base of clay and put bone ash with it,
0:05:13 > 0:05:14hence the term bone china.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19The asking price for the Spode dish is £100,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23but now something else at £110 has caught David's eye.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Masonic cuff links. - Enamelled on one side.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28That's a very acquired subject, isn't it?
0:05:28 > 0:05:33I wonder how many Masons would go into a general sale?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Masonic lodges have ancient traditions,
0:05:36 > 0:05:43founded by the Master Stonemasons who built Britain's castles and cathedrals,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46but many original members were unable to read,
0:05:46 > 0:05:52so trade symbols like the compass and set square were used in ceremonial items.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Like cuff links.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58110, I think I said.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- So what would they be priced at?- 80.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05I'll give you a cheeky 60.
0:06:07 > 0:06:13So, with his familiar hurt expression on display, David is wanting three items.
0:06:13 > 0:06:19The £100 Spode dish, the £110 Masonic cuff links,
0:06:19 > 0:06:24and the £120 Arts and Crafts box.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26But he wants them all at £60 each.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I'll make a call.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Hi, Stuart. No, he would like all three at £60 each.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Sharp intake of breath.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38All three at 200.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Can we split the difference?- Hang on a sec. Have a word, it's Stuart.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I think 180 is the price I'd like to offer these.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Split the difference, 190! God, that leaves me nothing.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52All right, 190.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56OK, I'm metaphorically shaking your hands.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01Ha-ha! And now Stuart might be wise to, metaphorically speaking, check his wallet and his watch.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Thank you very much. - It's been a pleasure.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Really? Oh, well.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11And whilst David's growing in confidence, Charles appears to be shrinking.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Ian, I've never come across such a big copper kettle in my life.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19You've got the biggest kettle I've ever seen.
0:07:19 > 0:07:25It was a shop sign, Charles, that used to hang outside Dale's Shop in Stafford in 1828.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28It would have watched dandies and ladies of the day walk past.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Charles Dickens stayed opposite. - Really?- At the Swan Hotel.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37- And they say that he wrote The Old Curiosity Shop based on this shop.- Really?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40That's amazing, Ian. And if it could talk, what could it tell us?
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Well, one thing it would tell us... - Yeah.- ..is it's got pellet holes here.- Oh, yes?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- And they were put in by the delivery boy for Dale.- Really?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- He didn't like working for Dale, so he decided to shoot the side. - Really?
0:07:51 > 0:07:57As far as provenance goes, this enormous antique has just about the best you can get.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00HE SIGHS
0:08:00 > 0:08:04But can proud Ian let it leave the safety of his shop?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Ian, I've got £400 in my kitty, really, and I don't mind paying a bit for it.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11What's your best price?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- (It's not for sale.) - Is it not for sale?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Ian, I think it's great, and it's great to see.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22And whilst Charles goes off the boil, happy shopper David's gone for a rummage.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Strangely choosing a rather lovely charity shop,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Aren't these so stylish? These were produced in 1978, limited edition.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36This is by Royal Doulton.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41So we've got Pierrot and Punchinello, oh, this is Columbine.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45But aren't they absolutely superb? For £6.50 each.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Mais oui.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Tease!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I'm going to buy these.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52You are going to buy these?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I'm letting my heart rule my head, I think.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- £6.50 each, then.- Ah!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00For goodness's sake! Please don't haggle, David, it's a charity shop.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- £19.50.- Yes. - Will you take £20 for me?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much.- That's very kind of you.
0:09:06 > 0:09:0850p?
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Yet how delightful to see David actually paying more than the asking price.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19And shopping-wise, he's putting the young pretender to shame.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Bit concerned, frantic shopping, but I'll get there.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30But where Charles refused to purchase, David now dares to tread.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Hello.- Hello, how are you?- David Barby, we've met before, haven't we?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Somewhere along the line. - Your face is so familiar.- Is it?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Perhaps you've met me in... - Don't say anything else.- No.- No.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41THEY LAUGH
0:09:41 > 0:09:48Well, quite. Actually, I think there are rather too many familiar faces here in Stafford today.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Oh, my goodness me!
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I know neither of us are fans of these items,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- but you need to make a profit. - Do I like them?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Well, you don't have to like them.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Royal Doulton's talented designer, Harry Simeon,
0:10:04 > 0:10:08reinvented the classic Toby jug in the 1920s,
0:10:08 > 0:10:15creating full head, full colour character jugs of famous British heroes and villains.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19But can this motley crew turn David a profit?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Because you're knocking the stuff, you can have one, two, three,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26four, five, six pieces for £50.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- What about 40?- 40?!- Yeah.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- You want to get rid of them. - Not that desperately. £50.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I like 40. Give me a chance at 40.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- I'll tell you what, 45 quid. - Split the difference. 42.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Oh, you're a hard man. He's a hard man, isn't he?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Yeah, go on, then.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Very wise, Ian. Back down before the sob story starts.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- Three. Did we say 40?- We said 42.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02You don't want to split into a tenner, do you?
0:11:02 > 0:11:07- Do you want to flick?- Yeah. - Have you got a coin?- No.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- You can have it for 40 quid, go on. - Thank you very much.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- That's all right.- Thank you.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Well, what's £2 if it gets David out of the shop?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Some would say cheap at the price.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Now, he could be stealing a shopping lead on his young tormentor.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I really, really, really enjoy winding David up.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Because David's very easy to wind up.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31But I'm still nervous because David's the sort of expert
0:11:31 > 0:11:34who can suddenly pull a real find out the bag.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37With a fair wind behind him,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40the Road Trip is lurching hard of starboard
0:11:40 > 0:11:45to take Charles on a historical maritime adventure in Milford.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Not quite Hanson country,
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Charles is headed to the former home of the Anson family.
0:11:53 > 0:12:00From 1624, Shugborough Estate was home to local lawyer William Anson.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04A century later, great-grandson Admiral George Anson
0:12:04 > 0:12:07would make the family very rich and famous.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Oh, look at this. Wowee!
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Well, you're right there, Charles.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23That is one entrance, isn't it?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Charles is about to meet with project development manager Coreen Caddy.
0:12:28 > 0:12:35George Anson became 18th-century Britain's most successful and celebrated naval hero,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38though strangely not that well-known today,
0:12:38 > 0:12:44taking historical second place to that Admiral Horatio fellow.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46When I think of naval heroes,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I think of Nelson, Trafalgar, the Egyptian campaign and all of that.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54Everybody knows about Nelson, but nobody talks about Anson.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55And yet we would argue strongly
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- that he's the biggest naval hero of all time.- Really?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03So, how did he suddenly acquire all of this money and new-found wealth?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Twice a year there was a large Spanish treasure ship
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- that crossed the Pacific.- Yes.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- It was loaded with Spanish treasure from the South Americas.- Gold...
0:13:12 > 0:13:17- Everything you can imagine. Gold, jewels.- Precious stones.- Absolutely.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- George, being very ambitious, went to King George...- Yes.
0:13:20 > 0:13:26- ..and said, "I think I can capture that treasure galleon for you." - Really?
0:13:26 > 0:13:32In 1739, Admiral Anson requested 1,000 fit men on ships
0:13:32 > 0:13:35for a daring escapade to capture the treasure.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40He did get his 1,000 men, but he had 170 people from hospitals,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- so sick and injured soldiers.- Gosh.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- 265 Chelsea pensioners with an average age of 70.- Wow!
0:13:47 > 0:13:51I'm afraid to say that all the pensioners were dead before they got to Madeira.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55As they rounded the tip of South America, several ships broke up.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57One crew mutinied.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02They ended up in the San Francisco area with just 100 men left and the flagship.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- And the flagship, which was? - The Centurion.- The Centurion.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10Last remaining ship, the Centurion finally had a piece of good luck
0:14:10 > 0:14:12whilst hunting the Spanish galleon.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Would you believe, they actually happened on it by accident?
0:14:16 > 0:14:21They spent months looking for it and failed. They stumbled across it and thought, "Shall we have a go?"
0:14:21 > 0:14:24And they captured it. It was absolutely loaded with treasures.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28In the 18th century, for naval ships' crews,
0:14:28 > 0:14:33the capture of every enemy ship and cargo was called prize money,
0:14:33 > 0:14:39part of which was passed back to every sailor, no matter how junior.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41So, I think of myself as a bit of a treasure hunter.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45I'm trying to gather these antiques to make a small profit at auction.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Not really for Queen and Country today but just more for my competition.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52But I'm thinking of gold coins and real treasure, you know?
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Big chests of jewels, falling out. Any of that here?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Well, you say you're the treasure hunter,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00it's up to you to hunt them out.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01OK. I'll follow you.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Coreen, is there any treasure around here?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Well, perhaps not the treasure you're quite looking for.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13However, I would say this lump of wood is perhaps my favourite treasure.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- It looks like a piece of driftwood. - It's far more important than that.
0:15:17 > 0:15:23This is the last remaining piece of the figurehead of HMS Centurion,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26the ship that captured all of the Spanish treasure.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32Amazingly, this fine relic of our maritime history spent many years
0:15:32 > 0:15:37as both a pub sign and then garden furniture at Chelsea Hospital
0:15:37 > 0:15:41before its incredible value to Britain was rediscovered in the 1920s.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43A national treasure indeed
0:15:43 > 0:15:45and surely enough to satisfy our Charles.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50The cabinet marks the spot.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Wow! So, Coreen, this is what I've been waiting for. This is it.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- There's not much here, is there? - No, there's not much.- No.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Most of it was reminted for the King.
0:15:58 > 0:16:05Charles must sadly make do with the few remaining spoils of George Anson's historic voyage.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08The captured Spanish captain's compass
0:16:08 > 0:16:13and a few gold doubloons that escaped the minting furnace.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Ms Caddy, thank you very, very much. - Bye-bye.- Bye-bye.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Goodbye, Miss Caddy, indeed.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Milford now joins the list
0:16:22 > 0:16:27of wonderful English places in David and Charles's past.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31The Road Trip pushes on once more, 34 miles east to Derby.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39- Our last waltz together. - I used to do the Charleston. - You didn't!- I did.- You didn't?
0:16:39 > 0:16:40I loved doing the Charleston.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Huh!
0:16:44 > 0:16:49So, our light-footed experts trip their way into Charles Hanson's local town.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52But on 4th December 1745,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Derby played host to that other young pretender,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Bonnie Prince Charlie,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00who set up his council of war here.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05This is a massive day today. We're in Derbyshire, my homeland.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09It's an iconic day for me because I've got to buy all my items in Derbyshire,
0:17:09 > 0:17:15to hopefully round off my Road Trip and beat David Barby. Will it happen? I really hope so.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Good morning.- Good morning. How nice to see you, old fellow!
0:17:19 > 0:17:25Luckily, Colin and Julie are here to help, if Charles can maintain his fear of influence.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31Colin, the little decanter set. Look at that colour. It's radiant, gaudy, it's very Art Deco.
0:17:31 > 0:17:39- At auction, it might make £25. It might make 30. And you're only asking £25 for it.- Cheaper than charity!
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- Well, I'm a charitable case here. - Don't knock me down, Charles, on £25.- Do you know what?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47If I was to come to your saleroom, it'd be 45.
0:17:47 > 0:17:53Ooh! Suddenly the local connections are not in Charles's favour.
0:17:53 > 0:17:59- What does affect value, Colin, is this corroding here. - It's not corrosion, it's muck.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Is it? Colin, where there's muck, there's brass.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05It just wants cleaning.
0:18:05 > 0:18:11- I'd be happy to pay £25 for it... - I know.- ..with a caveat, OK.
0:18:11 > 0:18:17- And my caveat is this. If Julie... Julie?- Yes.- Yes, it's Julie.
0:18:17 > 0:18:23- Sorry, Julie.- If Julie can take this muck off, I'll pay £25 for it.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29- If she can't, I'll only pay £15 for it.- OK. Silvo.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Let's get the Silvo out and start rubbing, then.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- All right, we're in business. - I'm rubbing as hard as I can.
0:18:37 > 0:18:43- It is coming off, actually.- I don't believe it!- Look at that shine.- Wow!
0:18:43 > 0:18:48It actually looks like Charles Hanson will have to pay the full ticket price for an antique.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53At £25, you've got me. It's a deal. Thank you, Julie. Well done!
0:18:53 > 0:18:57At last, Charles has the kick-start he needed.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01I've just spotted this little green Street glass bowl.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04It's hand-blown. There's a ground pontil mark on the base
0:19:04 > 0:19:08where the rod has been blown and snapped off to create this wonderful design.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13But the way it sits, it's very much of the Art Nouveau.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15But at £15, can it turn a profit?
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- I quite like this little bowl here. - There's not a lot of money in it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25- You're not going to make any money by buying a cheap thing like that. - I've got to beat David Barbie.
0:19:25 > 0:19:31If it doubled its price, what's £8 in a competition? You want to be making £80.
0:19:31 > 0:19:38- You think my game plan's all wrong? - You've got to change the style and go upmarket.
0:19:38 > 0:19:44I never thought I'd see the day! Charles, exposed as a bit cheap?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Any bit of help. £5 for it?
0:19:47 > 0:19:51£8, Charles, it's yours. That's almost half-price.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54£6? Going once! Come on, Colin!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Go on, then.- Sold! It's gone!
0:19:57 > 0:20:02Well done, Charles, but is this all you want from your beloved Derbyshire today?
0:20:02 > 0:20:11I ought to be really buoyant by the fact I'm in Derby, but, in fact, I'm not. Something's going wrong.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I've got to somehow pull the cat out of the bag.
0:20:14 > 0:20:21Luckily, fellow dandy, Dennis, is just waiting to help down at Ashbourne Road Antiques.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Hop to it, Charles!
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Hi! Good to see you. Charles Hanson.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I feel underdressed compared to you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30The cravat, you know, this look.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- It's fantastic!- You're really kind.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- I'm looking for things that are a bit quirky, a bit different. - You've come to the right place.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Is that silver in this little loving cup?
0:20:41 > 0:20:46- You know your stuff. - Get out of here!- You didn't say, is that silver, which is plated,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48you went straight to that.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- I like this decoration. It's beautifully cast and gilded too.- Yes.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55On the base, it says,
0:20:55 > 0:21:00"The Royal Christening, August 1982."
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- It's a lovely little piece. - It's Stuart Devlin.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Charles, you wanted a great find, you've got one.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Stuart Devlin is one of the best contemporary silversmiths,
0:21:12 > 0:21:18designer of Australia's decimal coinage and Olympic medals as well as his famous decorative eggs.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Dennis, I'm a local man. I'm always at your disposal, OK?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Boys stick together in Derby, don't we?- That's right.- Exactly!
0:21:24 > 0:21:30I quite like that because it's a decorative object. What's the best price on it?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Well, I'm in your expert hands.
0:21:32 > 0:21:38- Well, Dennis, you know... - Whatever you say is gospel. - Oh, Dennis, I can't do that!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41It's got £99 on it. Give us 100 for cash.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47100? Euros, pounds, sterling?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49We're talking pounds.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- What's your absolute best price?- £75.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Oh, Dennis. We're getting close now.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- Getting really close.- £70 because I like you.- Get out of here! - You're a wonderful guy.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Dennis, I'll pay £70 for it.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- Brother?- I think you're being fair. - Give me a high five.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Are we in?- Yes, I think you're being fair.- Sold for £70! Dennis, what have I done?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Dennis, I do love your style.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- We're a similar size. I'm going to start wearing cravats. I'm serious.- OK.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- If that's the case, there you go. - You know what? I love cravats. I've never worn a cravat before.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- So, you do it up like that?- Look at that!- Dennis, I kid you not.
0:22:27 > 0:22:33- I will start wearing cravats. Can I borrow this?- You can have that one. - Are you serious?- You can have it.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36It's worth almost as much as my silver loving cup. I love it.
0:22:36 > 0:22:42Hats off again to that Derbyshire dandy and his new sartorial friend.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46This week's shopping is now heading towards a photo finish.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Ah, how sweet!
0:22:49 > 0:22:53So, let's remind ourselves what our chaps have bought.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55David started with just £261.68
0:22:55 > 0:23:00and spent a daring £250 of it on five auction lots -
0:23:00 > 0:23:03a porcelain basket, a Newlyn box,
0:23:03 > 0:23:09a pair of cuff links, three Royal Doulton plates
0:23:09 > 0:23:12and a collection of 20th-century pottery jugs.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17Charles, meanwhile, has spent a somewhat smaller £101
0:23:17 > 0:23:21from his healthy £400.96 balance, on a mere three auction lots -
0:23:21 > 0:23:25the Art Deco cocktail set, an Art Nouveau glass bowl,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28and a silver loving cup.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31So, what do our duo think of each other's purchases?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I'm very disappointed in Charles's objects
0:23:34 > 0:23:36because he didn't spend all his money.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39We're about to freefall into our finale. I'm very nervous.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42He's brought a really, really good, varied mix.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46The star object is his Stuart Devlin commemorative cup.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49But hopefully, Hanson's silver cup will be hoisted up
0:23:49 > 0:23:51and that will be my crowning glory.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53That's the spirit.
0:23:53 > 0:23:59Always good to aim high, no matter how ridiculously unrealistic.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01It's time to get a wriggle on to auction,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03heading 15 miles east,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06across Brian Clough Way, and over the county line.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Last stop - Nottingham.
0:24:10 > 0:24:16Our Road Trip renegades arrive in fresh attire for the auction and raring to go.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Well, Charles, here we are, the final curtain. My goodness me.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25It's the end of the romance between you and I.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- You used to work here, didn't you? - Ten years ago.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Bring back happy memories? - So much so.
0:24:31 > 0:24:37Opened in 1993, Mellors and Kirk are well-known for fine art sales,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39antiques and today's general sale.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Our Charles cut his teeth here as a young sales porter
0:24:43 > 0:24:46and fledgling auctioneer,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48and the prodigal son returns.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53Our experts straighten their ties and take their seats.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57How does it feel that this young pretender has taken a mantle
0:24:57 > 0:24:59over the might of David Barby?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Every dog has to have his day.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Down, boy! And hush now.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06The sale's about to start.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11David's corking Spode dish is first up for grabs.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13£30 for it, please. 30? 20?
0:25:13 > 0:25:1520 I'm bid.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Thank you, sir. 20, 30, 40.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19£40. Any more?
0:25:19 > 0:25:24Selling at 40, 50, 60. £60. Second row, selling at £60.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30A disappointing start for David, especially on such a lovely item.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35- Will you catch me up? - I don't know. One lives in hope.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Stranger things have happened.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Could the gold Masonic cuff links turn the tide for David?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- £20 for them, please. - Take it steady.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Oh, Charles. - Let's get them sold.- 40?
0:25:46 > 0:25:49£30 it is. 40. 50. 60.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- £70.- Come on.- Commission bid. I'll sell.
0:25:52 > 0:25:58- That's OK.- It's not.- You broke even. - Don't try and console me.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Best to say nothing, actually.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04And now the young pretender's first lot seeks some decisive bidding.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07£20 for it, please. 20?
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- £10.- Come on.- Do we have a bid? 5 I'm bid, thank you.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12At 5. 10, may I say?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Oh, dear me.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19- £5 only, and I shall sell it at £5. - That's all I thought it was worth.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Quite possibly.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25But a shame for Charles. I think that £1 loss really hurt.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26I can't believe it.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31So, let's have something bright and cheerful to lift our spirits.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32£20 for them, may I see?
0:26:32 > 0:26:3510 I'm bid. Thank you. At 10. 15, 20.
0:26:35 > 0:26:4025? At £20. On my right, I'm selling at 20.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Broke even.- What happened?
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Well, the auctioneer is speedy.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49And that means David's chances are fading fast.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55David, it's never over until the last gavel falls on your very last lot.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00True enough, but first, Charles's startling cocktail set
0:27:00 > 0:27:02wants to dazzle the room.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07- 20? £10.- Oh, no.- 10 I'm bid. Thank you, at £10.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- 15 for it?- One more.- 15.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Charles, dear friend, you're going to need more than just one more.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15£15, I shall sell it.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17£15.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19No great shakes there, then, Charles,
0:27:19 > 0:27:21but you are still ahead.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25What can David do with this motley crew of hopefuls?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- We're nearly there, Charles. - Will we keep in touch afterwards?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I doubt we will.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Ooh. Let's just get on with the sale, shall we?
0:27:33 > 0:27:3420?
0:27:34 > 0:27:3820 I'm bid, thank you, sir. At 20, 30, 40.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40£40. No more? Selling at 40.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Whoo! Was that it?
0:27:43 > 0:27:50David Barby's mugs were mugged. So cruelly and, well, quickly.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55I think this auction will hang on one thing, OK, and it's coming up next.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00And here it is. Charles's prize sterling-silver commemorative cup.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06The style of it is so neat for that decade. I love it.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08£30. 40. 50.
0:28:08 > 0:28:1060. 70.
0:28:10 > 0:28:1280. 90. 100.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Keep going. - At £100 on my left. 120.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16130?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18At 120, we sell.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23That's good. My dream is about to crack open. Champagne?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Maybe a bit early, Charles.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Though I have to say, you look unbeatable now.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34David must pray the lovely Art Nouveau box
0:28:34 > 0:28:36can turn copper into cash.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38You could hear a pin drop in here.
0:28:38 > 0:28:4050. Any interest? 50, 30.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Nobody want it? 30, 40.
0:28:42 > 0:28:4450, 60, 70, 80 with me.
0:28:44 > 0:28:4890 to you. 100. 110. 120 here.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- 130? At 120.- Good price, David. - Selling with me at £120.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54- All done?- That's amazing.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57I commend you for finding an antique.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01I think we all commend David Barby today.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04But sadly, that double-your-money sale is just not enough
0:29:04 > 0:29:06to beat Charles.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- Come on, David, congratulations.- No.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12You're the one that has congratulations. Well done, Charles.
0:29:12 > 0:29:17Brave words in the face of defeat. What a nice chap.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Sadly, after paying auction costs,
0:29:19 > 0:29:26David's £261.68 grew by a mere £4.20.
0:29:26 > 0:29:31David ends his Road Trip with £265.88,
0:29:31 > 0:29:33but he can hold his head high.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40The local hero began with £400.96
0:29:40 > 0:29:43and turned another modest profit of £13.80.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Charles finishes off with £414.76.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Well done, boy.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57The chaps' combined profits will go to Children in Need.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Congratulations to that victorious young pretender,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03and, David, no sweat.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04It's Hanson-town.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- Give me a high five, David. It's been a great day. - Is that what a high five is?!
0:30:10 > 0:30:16David, this great business, there is so much luck involved, and all the romance, long may it continue.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- You've taught me so much. - I hope so, David.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22I do feel this is the start of a bromance,
0:30:22 > 0:30:25but then this pair have had quite a journey.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27# It takes two, baby... #
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Whilst David and Charles drive off into the sunset,
0:30:31 > 0:30:38we join grizzled veteran Mark Stacey and comparative novice Margie Cooper on a new Road Trip...
0:30:38 > 0:30:41You are a sort of Road Trip virgin, if you like.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44..in a nippy 1960s MGC.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Mark, from Brighton, is a valuer and a dealer,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51with the honesty to admit the limits of his expertise.
0:30:51 > 0:30:57I don't do ladies' paraphernalia. Well, on a weekend, maybe.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Debutante Margie is a silver expert
0:30:59 > 0:31:02and she's also been on the Antiques Road Show.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04She's a dealer too, like her grandmother before her.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08What her granny didn't teach her, she can find out off the telly.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12And I've been watching the repeats of this programme!
0:31:12 > 0:31:17Our competitive pair start this trip in Kent, at Chilham,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19and travel across southern England to the West Country,
0:31:19 > 0:31:23and end up for the finale in Torquay.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26But on this leg, Heathfield will be the battleground
0:31:26 > 0:31:28for their auction showdown.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32- This looks lovely, Margie, look. - Gorgeous flowers!
0:31:32 > 0:31:36- We're about to start our adventure, Margie.- Right.- Feeling all right?
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- Absolutely super. - But I've only got...- Yeah?
0:31:39 > 0:31:43- ..one thing to say to you. - Say it.- OK?- Yes.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46It should be ladies first, so I'll see you later.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49So, this is what it's going to be like, is it?!
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Once inside the barn, Margie is up and running.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56What's this curious object here?
0:31:56 > 0:32:00It looks like an egg... So, what is it? Oh, it's a lighter!
0:32:00 > 0:32:04Oh, my goodness, that's a funny thing, isn't it?
0:32:04 > 0:32:07"The Poppell butane gas pocket lighter."
0:32:07 > 0:32:12OK, Margie, it's your first negotiation. The ticket price is £28.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16- Go on, tell me how much it is! - Erm...
0:32:16 > 0:32:17MARGIE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY
0:32:17 > 0:32:19£20.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- 15, I'll buy it.- OK.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25So, Margie's bought a lighter, and Mark's got himself an old gamp,
0:32:25 > 0:32:28as Kent resident Charles Dickens would have described it.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31This is rather sweet -
0:32:31 > 0:32:35this is a little Victorian parasol, lady's parasol.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40We know, of course, that it's probably after 1860,
0:32:40 > 0:32:42cos it looks like a mourning one, being black.
0:32:42 > 0:32:48And what I quite like about it is, it's got a carved ivory handle.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53And I think these little finials, actually on the shade itself,
0:32:53 > 0:32:57are ivory - that's rather sweet.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01But what isn't so sweet is the price tag of £45.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05I would love to buy it from you for £20.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- SHE DRAWS BREATH - No, can't do that. 30?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Ooh.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15- 22?- 25?- I've just noticed, as I was coming across...- Yes?
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- Is that a little back scratcher or something?- Looks like it, yes...
0:33:19 > 0:33:24Good move, change the subject! Now Margie's having a wander into the furniture section.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Careful, Margie, that looks pricey!
0:33:26 > 0:33:30I would call it a music stool, but it's a cellist's chair.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34You sat on that, like that... Legs wide open!
0:33:34 > 0:33:37..and you play the cello, don't you? It's great.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41And it's a gorgeous thing. It is very old, it's William IV,
0:33:41 > 0:33:45which takes it down to...pre-1830.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50£895. That's not in my budget, sadly!
0:33:50 > 0:33:55Mark seems to have escaped Edna's stern gaze to try Peggy instead.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59I just think it's rather charming. What we've got here is a little...
0:33:59 > 0:34:03ivory and...possibly gold-plated
0:34:03 > 0:34:06little necessaire, or etui - this is a little object
0:34:06 > 0:34:10that ladies, and gentlemen, would have carried
0:34:10 > 0:34:14to keep your essentials in. Now, for those who are worried about ivory,
0:34:14 > 0:34:18which we all should be today - these are antique items.
0:34:18 > 0:34:23These are legal to sell, they're not against the 1947 CITES agreement
0:34:23 > 0:34:25on the prevention of use of ivory.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29I think this would probably date to about 1800.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33I got down to 25 on the parasol, so far.
0:34:33 > 0:34:38This is marked at 85 - what do you think they'd do it for if I bought the two together?
0:34:38 > 0:34:4185 for the two?
0:34:41 > 0:34:44So, that would bring that down to 60, wouldn't it?
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- Mark...- Yes? - Have you been upstairs?- No.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52There's some other small items that you might find as well.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Oh, do you think so?
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Oh, yeah, he's got something.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00This is a lady's ebonised walking cane.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04The base wood has been lacquered in black
0:35:04 > 0:35:09to give the illusion of ebony - ebony is heavy, and this is quite light.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13I haven't seen a hallmark on the collar, but it looks like silver.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17And it's got a very nice feel. But more importantly,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20it's priced up at around 20, and I think if I put it in
0:35:20 > 0:35:23with the parasol and the ivory box,
0:35:23 > 0:35:25it makes a nice little interesting lot,
0:35:25 > 0:35:27So, what's Peggy's very best price?
0:35:28 > 0:35:32- 85.- 85 for the three items? - Mm-hmm.- Gosh.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- Now, that is gold. - You think it's gold?- Oh, definitely.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43- Peggy, thank you very much. Can I come back to you in a moment? - You can.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- You are so sweet.- But...that's it. - No, I won't.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50- I won't ask for any more, I promise you.- OK.- Thank you, Peggy.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Right, have a think about that. Now, where's Margie heading?
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- Ooh, she's found a chair.- You've seen how it works, obviously...
0:35:58 > 0:36:03Well, actually, it's so small, I thought it was mainly for a doll.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06But, you know, I'm afraid...
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- it's a lot of money.- 65 on that.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- Mmm. Do you hear the intake of breath?!- Yes, I know.
0:36:12 > 0:36:1460 is the very best.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Mm, that sounds like a good deal.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- So, what's the last?- 55.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22That is final - absolutely no more.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- OK, we've done it. Thank you. - OK, Margie, OK!
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Two deals for Margie. Come on, Mark, enough mulling!
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- Peggy...- Mark.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34I've agonised over these, because I do love them,
0:36:34 > 0:36:38- and I think they make a nice little lot.- They do.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Your dealers and yourself have been extraordinarily generous to me,
0:36:41 > 0:36:46but I have to, because it's the nature of my game, I'm afraid...
0:36:46 > 0:36:51- Remember this?- I won't ask for any more, I promise. Thank you, Peggy.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55You've come down to 85 - is there any chance we can do it for 80?
0:36:56 > 0:37:03- I wish we could, but that's really the bottom line. - The bottom line. £85.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Well, I tried. I have to try, you see. And wish me luck.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09I can't say I hope you win, because it would be biased.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Well, you can say it. Nobody's watching.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- No-one's watching. I hope you win. - Thank you.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18So, they've both bought,
0:37:18 > 0:37:20and now it's time for Margie to take the wheel.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Now, then. Let me just check this out.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Neutral. Clutch. I'm not used to heavy steering.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Where are you going?
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- Will you help me get it into reverse?- No!
0:37:32 > 0:37:35I feel like I've been going in reverse all morning.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- SHE LAUGHS - Oh, dear. I'm not looking.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39We're definitely off this time.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Oh, gosh!
0:37:42 > 0:37:45I do like a nice, big car park.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- Don't you?- Yeah, I've done it!
0:37:47 > 0:37:49THEY CHEER
0:37:49 > 0:37:52After that somewhat erratic departure,
0:37:52 > 0:37:56Margie and Mark make their way from Chilam to Canterbury.
0:37:56 > 0:38:02Famous for tales and saints, Canterbury has been inhabited since prehistoric times,
0:38:02 > 0:38:08and a place of pilgrimage since the murder of Thomas A Becket in 1170.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12I wonder what Chaucer would have made of our two travellers?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- Bye, darling. See you later. - Thank you very much.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- Have a good visit.- Happy hunting. - I will. Take care.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20Bye!
0:38:20 > 0:38:25So, while Margie heads off through the traffic...
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I haven't stalled it once.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29..Mark searches for his next shop.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31These are little silver bridge markers,
0:38:31 > 0:38:33so when you're playing bridge,
0:38:33 > 0:38:37you can mark your score on top of each of them.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41They have the representative suits. Hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44I would have thought they're Art Deco, 1930s.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47They're marked up at £70.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48Quite sweet.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53I do quite like this as well, actually.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56This is a silver bonbon dish. It's quite lightweight.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59It's quite nice, because they have that crinkled edge
0:38:59 > 0:39:02with this fern leaf design on it.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07It's rather fun, that, isn't it? Priced up at £89.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11I think I'm getting all flustered. I might need a bit of fresh air.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14I'm thinking of spending serious money here.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18I do quite like the bonbon dish.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19- And the bridge markers.- Right.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22This is quite nice. It's marked up at £89.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25What sort of price could you do on that?
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- 70?- 70? Mm.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- I'm going to be cheeky.- Go on, then.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32All right. Then we'll see where we go.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36In an ideal world, I would say 30 quid.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38In an ideal world.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43In an ideal world, but as you know, the world is not ideal!
0:39:43 > 0:39:45- Particularly at the moment! - THEY LAUGH
0:39:45 > 0:39:46I know what you mean.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Shall we go in the middle, at £50?
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Keith, you are so kind.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56And what about this?
0:39:57 > 0:40:02Well, that is £70, and going on the previous conversation,
0:40:02 > 0:40:04- you want that for £20!- Exactly!
0:40:04 > 0:40:07You're attuned to the way I'm thinking here.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Exactly.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1240 and 40.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17- Well, that's 80, isn't it? - That's tempting.- It IS tempting.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19We couldn't go to 70?
0:40:19 > 0:40:2275. That's how you do it, isn't it?
0:40:22 > 0:40:24- That's how YOU do it. - That's how- I- do it.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28- But I like working in round figures, and not £80, £70.- Right.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31I'm sorry to push you.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- Well, I could push you.- You could.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- It's not far to go. - HE LAUGHS
0:40:37 > 0:40:41Oh, you're too nice a man to do that.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42So, where did we get to?
0:40:42 > 0:40:46- Well, we got to 65. No, we didn't get to 65.- No, we didn't.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- We got to 75. - I AM being mean, aren't I, really?
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Are you just standing there hesitating,
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- hoping I'm going to say 70? - Yeah, I am.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58- You are?- I am.- Then I will.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- 70, it is.- Thank you, Keith.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- I really appreciate it. - That's all right. You're welcome.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Meanwhile, Margie C,
0:41:05 > 0:41:07and the MG,
0:41:07 > 0:41:11have made their way from Canterbury to Fordwich.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19Described in the Domesday Book
0:41:19 > 0:41:21as "a small burg", and still tiny now,
0:41:21 > 0:41:26Fordwich owes its historic importance to the River Stour.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Here, they took delivery of French stone for Canterbury Cathedral.
0:41:30 > 0:41:35Margie is here to visit the smallest town hall in England.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38When she can get out of that little MG, that is.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40- HORN BEEPS - Oops.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42- Hello!- I'm Marjorie Cooper.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46I'm Andrea Russo. Very nice to meet you. Welcome to Fordwich.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Old Fordwich had big powers,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50especially when it came to enforcing the law.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Councillor Russo can describe what life was like
0:41:54 > 0:41:57when the town hall doubled as the courtroom.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- This, Marjorie, is the pleading bar.- Right.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Hence the expression, "the prisoner at the bar".
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Because the prisoner would come up, and put his hands here,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- and plead his case. - And plead his case.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Then, of course, he would be tried by the judge,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17who was the major of the town.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20There were six jurors on each side,
0:42:20 > 0:42:24on the table, which was made in 1580, for eight shillings.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26So, this is virtually 500 years old.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- We've got a couple of handcuffs. - Yes.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33We've also got a branding iron, which is quite fascinating.
0:42:33 > 0:42:38As you can see, it's got an "R" here, for "Rex", or "Regina",
0:42:38 > 0:42:42- depending who was on the throne. - Who was on the throne at the time.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45So, this would be heated up, and then would go, "tschh".
0:42:45 > 0:42:47On your face, or where?
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Don't know. Perhaps in some place which we cannot tell.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52- Do you know what I mean? - SHE LAUGHS
0:42:52 > 0:42:54I don't think they'd put it there.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56It would be somewhere people could see it!
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Underneath is the town jail,
0:42:59 > 0:43:02last used in 1855,
0:43:02 > 0:43:04where the accused could contemplate
0:43:04 > 0:43:06whatever grisly punishment might be in store.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09So, a heavy responsibility for the jury,
0:43:09 > 0:43:13yet their room was even smaller.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16They had to stay here until they reached a verdict,
0:43:16 > 0:43:20and they couldn't have any food, no light, nothing.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24You can imagine they reached a verdict pretty quickly.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27And if they had to relieve themselves,
0:43:27 > 0:43:29shall I show you?
0:43:29 > 0:43:31Hold me up! Here we go.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33- That's what they did. - Oh, my goodness me!
0:43:33 > 0:43:37Straight onto the stones. Aren't you glad you live now, and not then?!
0:43:37 > 0:43:43Bit small too. That would require a degree of accuracy.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46Our experts are looking to hit the target at auction in Heathfield,
0:43:46 > 0:43:47East Sussex.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50Next stop is in Kent, at Charing.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53- Here we are, Margie.- Great stuff!
0:43:53 > 0:43:57Our pair are eager to find bargains, but the £200 they started out with
0:43:57 > 0:43:59has already begun to shrink alarmingly.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02So, what will they plump for?
0:44:02 > 0:44:04Oh, afternoon tea!
0:44:06 > 0:44:10I hate to use this phrase, but my mum had one of these.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13What used to really annoy me, when I had an antique shop...
0:44:13 > 0:44:14People used to come in,
0:44:14 > 0:44:18spend all their time saying their mum and granny had this,
0:44:18 > 0:44:22and go on and not buy anything. So, I'm doing it now!
0:44:22 > 0:44:24(£65!)
0:44:24 > 0:44:26You can't moan at that, can you?
0:44:26 > 0:44:28You push it in, fold it away,
0:44:28 > 0:44:30and they can just stick it against the wall.
0:44:30 > 0:44:35So, I think they might come back into fashion, those.
0:44:35 > 0:44:39Mark's found something that's unlikely ever to trouble
0:44:39 > 0:44:40the zeitgeist again.
0:44:40 > 0:44:45They're rather greasy. Do you know what they are?
0:44:45 > 0:44:47They're little discs for a "simfonium".
0:44:47 > 0:44:50"Sinfonium", actually, Mark.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53You put these in the machine, and the machine goes round
0:44:53 > 0:44:56and it plays notes, when you see through the light, there.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59These were played on a sort of upright jukebox,
0:44:59 > 0:45:03invented in the late-19th century.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05About 26 of them.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07I've never sold any before,
0:45:07 > 0:45:10so I could be risking everything on a broken record.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15- Hello. I'm Mark. - Hello, Mark, I'm Owen.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18- Could I have a little look at the cabinet?- Yeah, sure.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21This is very pretty, isn't it?
0:45:21 > 0:45:23It's a little folding frame.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26You can put a picture of your loved one in with you.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29When you look at it, the style of it looks very 1920s.
0:45:29 > 0:45:33But, when you actually look at the label, it says,
0:45:33 > 0:45:38"A heavy, solid silver picture frame. 1994."
0:45:38 > 0:45:40So, it's very modern. "Mappin & Webb," it says.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42"£65."
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Did this come in privately?
0:45:44 > 0:45:47- These things are all from another dealer.- Another dealer? Oh.
0:45:47 > 0:45:52- He puts the trade discount on the other one. - Oh, does he? OK.- Which is...
0:45:52 > 0:45:55- Oh, yes. So, he'd do it for £55. - Yeah.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58- I'll have a think about those.- OK.
0:45:58 > 0:46:02Mark's hogging Owen, but Margie's desperate to get in there.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05I want to go over where his lordship is.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09And now he's chatting away to the owner.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12- Are those discs yours? - Yes, they are.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14I know nothing about these. Do you?
0:46:14 > 0:46:18- Well, they are lovely... - Are they a lot of money?
0:46:18 > 0:46:19Well, I don't think...
0:46:19 > 0:46:22- They all say that.- They're £2 each.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24- Oh, gosh.- There's 26 of them.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26Around 26. £2 each.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28Would they sell at auction, though?
0:46:28 > 0:46:31Ah! He's moving off.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34Margie might be new to this, but after watching Mark,
0:46:34 > 0:46:37she seems to have found a new tactic.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40- Follow the label! - There's a ticket on this table.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43"A heavy, solid silver picture frame. Mappin & Webb.
0:46:43 > 0:46:47"£65." He's obviously trying to do a deal with you. Be honest.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51He's had a good look at it, but he hasn't...
0:46:51 > 0:46:54- Where is it?- On the table there.
0:46:54 > 0:46:58- Oh, that's it!- Yeah. - I was thinking it was a photo frame!
0:46:58 > 0:47:01- No. It's a little compact there. - Oh, that is...
0:47:01 > 0:47:03There's been no agreement made.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05I can do that for £55.
0:47:05 > 0:47:0840 quid won't buy it?
0:47:08 > 0:47:11I can make a phone call, and then I can do the deal.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14- I'm sure I can do something for you. - I will try, but it's got to be £40.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17You've got a little Mappin & Webb double photo frame here.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19Would you be able to take £40 for it?
0:47:21 > 0:47:25OK. All right. Thank you. Bye.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28- Yes, he will.- Yes!
0:47:28 > 0:47:30I wonder what Mark will make of that?
0:47:30 > 0:47:32Still, he did have his chance!
0:47:32 > 0:47:35I have noticed this little figure, here.
0:47:35 > 0:47:40No, it's not a period one. It's a little figure produced by Worcester.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42Um...
0:47:42 > 0:47:45In the late-19th century.
0:47:45 > 0:47:47This is known as the Regency Gentleman.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50It was modelled by James Hadley,
0:47:50 > 0:47:53who was a very famous modeller for Worcester Porcelain.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55It's still lovely quality, but IS fairly modern.
0:47:55 > 0:47:59I think it's rather nice, but there's no price on it.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03- Owen, I've spotted a little item here, which I rather like.- OK.
0:48:03 > 0:48:08- But it doesn't seem to have a price on it.- Oh, dear. That's not very good, is it?
0:48:08 > 0:48:11- I thought maybe it was free(!) - Nothing's free.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14No, nothing's free in life. Do you know how much that is?
0:48:14 > 0:48:15- I know what I paid for it.- Ah!
0:48:15 > 0:48:17HE LAUGHS
0:48:17 > 0:48:20That's not a good sign. I don't think this will go my way at all.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23Dare I ask what you could let me have it for?
0:48:23 > 0:48:25- £50.- Oh!
0:48:25 > 0:48:28This isn't going my way, is it?
0:48:28 > 0:48:30- HE LAUGHS - Well, what did you want to hear?
0:48:30 > 0:48:34I wanted to hear £20. That's what I wanted to pay for it.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36- That's highway robbery, you know. - I know.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39- But he's a... He's not a highwayman. - Not a highwayman.
0:48:39 > 0:48:44- He's a foppish Regency dandy. - He's a dandy, yes. - More like me, actually.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46- I don't know what to say. - "Yes" is a nice word.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48- Ah! - HE LAUGHS
0:48:50 > 0:48:53- OK. You can have it for £20. - Oh, that's wonderful.
0:48:53 > 0:48:54I did notice this, as well.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57- You know it's broken, the arm's missing?- Yes.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00And the head's been off. Yes.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02I thought they looked rather nice together.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04You can't have that for free, no!
0:49:04 > 0:49:07THEY LAUGH
0:49:07 > 0:49:11- The other thing I wanted to say is, these discs.- Yes.
0:49:11 > 0:49:16Would there be any chance we could do the figure and those for £45?
0:49:16 > 0:49:17You really can't do £50?
0:49:17 > 0:49:19Honestly, I would love to.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21If I had £50, I would say £50, I promise you.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23But I would be completely spent, I think.
0:49:23 > 0:49:27- OK. There you are. - Thank you very much, Owen.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30With all of his cash spent, Mark can do no more.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32Time for Margie to step in.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35Well, I must admit, I haven't really noticed these.
0:49:35 > 0:49:41They are from Lord Roberts' workshop, which is in London.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44Can you help me with this, Owen? I really don't know.
0:49:44 > 0:49:47Lord Roberts was a decorated war hero.
0:49:47 > 0:49:52He was very concerned about the rights of disabled war-injured from the First World War.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55- Yeah, what happened to them. - He set up workshops, where they could make things.
0:49:55 > 0:49:58- It's just incredible. - So, those are hand-painted?- Yeah.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00- Gosh!- They're just lovely.- They are.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04- What sort of price are they? - These four are £30.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06Should I have a go at these?
0:50:08 > 0:50:10£20.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13So, £15's out?
0:50:13 > 0:50:15THEY LAUGH
0:50:15 > 0:50:19You see, I've been watching the repeats of this programme.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21- And they get really dead hard!- Yeah!
0:50:22 > 0:50:28- OK. £15.- Oh, you're very sweet. Thank you very much. I'll buy those.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31Everything nicely wrapped up, including a little surprise.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34- So, there we are. £45. - Thank you very much.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37But I've thrown in the Venus De Milo, as a free gift for you.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39- Oh!- There you are. I hope you do well.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41You are SO kind to me. Thank you.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Roof up, to keep out the rain,
0:50:44 > 0:50:47Margie and Mark make their next move.
0:50:47 > 0:50:51From Charing to the historic town of Faversham.
0:50:52 > 0:50:55Time for the one with the cash to make her final manoeuvres.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57Ah, looks nice!
0:50:57 > 0:50:59But will she unearth a bargain?
0:50:59 > 0:51:02There's quite a good market for these things.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06That's something that could be used.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08This one's a nice one, isn't it?
0:51:08 > 0:51:10Somebody's initials.
0:51:14 > 0:51:15There we go.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17Ooh!
0:51:17 > 0:51:18SHE LAUGHS
0:51:18 > 0:51:21Can't get it open. There we go.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23Yeah, just a plain one.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Yeah, I quite like that.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27I don't know. I could afford it. It's £45.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29The dealer is on hand to haggle.
0:51:29 > 0:51:3220 quid buy it?
0:51:32 > 0:51:33SHE LAUGHS
0:51:33 > 0:51:36Well, as I would like you to win...
0:51:36 > 0:51:38- Oh! Bless you.- Yes.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41Oh, my gosh! I'm shocked.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44Because I think that's a bargain, and I think you'll do well.
0:51:44 > 0:51:48- That's really sweet of you. Thank you very much!- OK!
0:51:48 > 0:51:52So, Margie's spent £150 on five lots -
0:51:52 > 0:51:56a Bakelite lighter, a Victorian doll's highchair,
0:51:56 > 0:52:00a silver frame, four hand-painted place mats
0:52:00 > 0:52:02and a leather case.
0:52:02 > 0:52:08While Mark's blown the entire £200 on a silver decanter coaster,
0:52:08 > 0:52:11four bridge pens, a set of sinfonium discs
0:52:11 > 0:52:13a Royal Worcester figure
0:52:13 > 0:52:18and a collector's lot containing parasol, walking cane
0:52:18 > 0:52:20and a mounted etui.
0:52:20 > 0:52:23So, I wonder what they think of each other's bounty.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26His last lot, I felt a little bit jealous.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29That's a really good lot he's got there.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31That lovely Georgian etui.
0:52:31 > 0:52:36Why did she buy that doll's fold-in whatever-it-was?
0:52:36 > 0:52:41I was speechless with the sinfonium discs. I didn't know what to say.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44I just don't understand them. I just don't get it.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46I don't get those at all.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49After starting out in Kent at Chilham,
0:52:49 > 0:52:53this leg of our trip will conclude in Sussex at Heathfield...
0:52:55 > 0:52:58Out you get. Let's get in there and get started.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00..at Watsons Auction Rooms.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06OK, settle down, everyone. Margie's lighter is up first.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09- How are you feeling about it? - I'm hoping for a fiver.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13- Profit, presumably. - Bakelite lighter.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15- At £10...- Oh, come on.
0:53:15 > 0:53:19- 10, 12, 14, 16, 18.- Creeping up.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21At £18. Right in front.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23At £18.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26He started at 10, Margie.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30A £2 loss, more after commission.
0:53:30 > 0:53:31Trying to cheer me up?
0:53:31 > 0:53:34How will Mark's odd couple get on?
0:53:34 > 0:53:36- £10 I'm bid.- This is terrible. - At 10, 12...
0:53:36 > 0:53:38- You're going up.- ..14, 16, 18,
0:53:38 > 0:53:42- 20, 22, 25.- You're in profit.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45At £25. 28 now? At £25.
0:53:45 > 0:53:49- It wiped its face. - You haven't lost money.
0:53:49 > 0:53:51At last, a fiver profit.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53Not an ecstatic sum.
0:53:53 > 0:53:57The silver frame, they both wanted it but Margie got it.
0:53:57 > 0:54:0030. £30. 20.
0:54:00 > 0:54:04- Come on.- Oh.- 10 I'm bid. 10, 12, 14, 16...
0:54:04 > 0:54:08- It's not going to make it. - ..18, 20, 22, 24.
0:54:08 > 0:54:1326 now. 26. At £26. Going to sell at £26.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16I'm really sorry, Margie. That's very disappointing.
0:54:16 > 0:54:20Perhaps she won't be so keen to follow Mark next time.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22I think that's an omen.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25Mark's silver bridge pens.
0:54:25 > 0:54:29£30... 20, take a bid. £20.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32At £20 bid, 20. 22, 25,
0:54:32 > 0:54:3528, 30, 32, 35.
0:54:35 > 0:54:39At 35 on commission, selling at £35.
0:54:40 > 0:54:44- Ridiculous. - Hardly all square, though.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47It's a loss by the time they take the commission out of it.
0:54:47 > 0:54:51Will someone please appreciate the story of Margie's mats?
0:54:51 > 0:54:53Nicely decorated, £10.
0:54:53 > 0:54:56- I'm going to cry in a minute. - 5, 6, 8,
0:54:56 > 0:54:5810, 12.
0:54:58 > 0:55:00- Terrible.- I can't bear this.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02At £12, 14.
0:55:02 > 0:55:0516, at £16.
0:55:05 > 0:55:10- Made a profit of a pound! - 18 now. Last time at £16.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12Yes!
0:55:12 > 0:55:14Margie's first profit of the day.
0:55:14 > 0:55:16Back to the drawing board.
0:55:16 > 0:55:19Mark's collector's lot, I'm worried.
0:55:19 > 0:55:2130 I'm bid. £30.
0:55:21 > 0:55:25- This is ridiculous.- At £30. 30, 35, 40, 45.- This is a joke.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28- 50, 55, 60.- Give it a chance.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31- 65, 70, 75.- There you go.
0:55:31 > 0:55:3480, 85,
0:55:34 > 0:55:36- 90, £90.- It's creeping.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39At £90.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42- It's absolutely silly. - Another £5 profit.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44Wish I'd just kept my money in my pocket.
0:55:45 > 0:55:47Next up, Margie's biggest buy.
0:55:47 > 0:55:5020 I'm bid, £20.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52At 20, 22, 25.
0:55:52 > 0:55:5528, 30, 32,
0:55:55 > 0:55:5835, 35, 38,
0:55:58 > 0:56:0040, 42, 45...
0:56:00 > 0:56:02At £45.
0:56:02 > 0:56:0648 at the back. At £48, at 48.
0:56:06 > 0:56:10- 50 now? At £48.- It's so pretty!
0:56:11 > 0:56:13- 48.- I'm relieved.
0:56:13 > 0:56:17Another loss. It's not always like this, Margie.
0:56:17 > 0:56:21You got away with that one. I thought it was going to go for a lot less.
0:56:21 > 0:56:26- Mark's silver coaster. - 20 I've got, £20.
0:56:26 > 0:56:28At £20 bid. 20, 22, 25.
0:56:28 > 0:56:34- 28, 30, at £30.- £30!
0:56:34 > 0:56:37- 38. At £38, £38.- Profit!
0:56:37 > 0:56:43- It's a loss after commission. - He's right, you know.
0:56:43 > 0:56:46If you cannot get £50 or £60 on this,
0:56:46 > 0:56:50there's no point in selling it in the auction. Really isn't.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53Margie's last chance, the luggage.
0:56:53 > 0:56:57- At £60. 60, 50...- Yes.
0:56:57 > 0:56:59- 30 I'm bid.- 30, tenner up.
0:56:59 > 0:57:0230, 32, 35.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04- He's on the book.- 38, 40, 42.
0:57:04 > 0:57:0545, 48.
0:57:05 > 0:57:08- That's good.- 50, 55, 60, 65...
0:57:08 > 0:57:10At £65.
0:57:10 > 0:57:14- On my left now, at £65. - Nice profit.- Have I gone pink?!
0:57:14 > 0:57:17That's up £45.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19£45 profit in the bag.
0:57:20 > 0:57:22That's brilliant, well done.
0:57:22 > 0:57:27OK, sinfonium fans, this is your moment.
0:57:27 > 0:57:29- 10 I'm bid, only 10.- Good Lord.
0:57:29 > 0:57:34- 12, 14, 16, 18.- You're on the book. - 20, 25, 28, 30.
0:57:34 > 0:57:3632, 35, 38.
0:57:36 > 0:57:3740, 42.
0:57:37 > 0:57:42£45, 50? At 45.
0:57:42 > 0:57:44Can you believe it? You little devil.
0:57:44 > 0:57:46That IS a surprise.
0:57:46 > 0:57:51- £20 profit. - Gosh, that is amazing, I apologise.
0:57:51 > 0:57:55But look in my face. Not happy.
0:57:55 > 0:57:59And for a very good reason. The new girl's beaten him by 80p.
