0:00:02 > 0:00:06The nation's favourite antique experts, £200 each, 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 > 0:00:13Look at the colour.

0:00:13 > 0:00:17The aim is trade up and hope that each antique turns a profit.

0:00:17 > 0:00:21But it's not as easy as it looks and dreams of glory can end in tatters.

0:00:21 > 0:00:22Thank you.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26Will it be the fast lane to success, or the slow road to bankruptcy?

0:00:26 > 0:00:29Bad luck for Thomas, £50 down.

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

0:00:36 > 0:00:43It's the last Road Trip for Thomas Plant and Mark Hales in their vintage 1967 Sunbeam Alpine.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45But who loves her the most?

0:00:45 > 0:00:47We're back in the car, so I am happy.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49We've got a fresh, sunny...

0:00:49 > 0:00:51- Oh, you are obsessed about this car! - I love it.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54She's reliable, she's never let us down.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56It's a car!

0:00:56 > 0:01:01- She's always been there for me. I love her.- Is he all right?

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Thomas is a veteran antiques valuer, auctioneer and Road Tripper,

0:01:04 > 0:01:07but lately, he's been away with the fairies.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11I love going to the mountains. I like skiing, but I just love the mountains.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14They just do something to you, don't they?

0:01:14 > 0:01:18And even when he seems to be with us, his mind is elsewhere.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21If I was a porter, in a railway station,

0:01:21 > 0:01:24I don't know if I would make a good one.

0:01:24 > 0:01:30Auctioneer and ceramics expert Mark also finds it hard to stay focused

0:01:30 > 0:01:32and prefers playtime instead.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Can I have a go?- Yes, go on, have a go.- It would be fun, wouldn't it?

0:01:36 > 0:01:40But when it comes to spotting a bargain, he's eagle-eyed.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43It must be worth a go, it could be a sleeper.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49Our experts started the week each with £200 worth of dosh,

0:01:49 > 0:01:53and they're heading for the finishing line.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Mark has made small, steady profits,

0:01:56 > 0:02:01and swollen his kitty to a respectable £330.07.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Thomas did very well, and then not so well,

0:02:05 > 0:02:12now just slightly ahead on a blustering £387.98.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15I wish I could get those heady days back of Ireland again.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Thomas, you are still in front, how is that a failure?- Yeah.

0:02:17 > 0:02:22You haven't failed. It's very exciting, it's down to the wire, isn't it?

0:02:22 > 0:02:23It is down to the wire.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27The boys' trip started in Portrush, Northern Ireland,

0:02:27 > 0:02:30and is taking them through lovely Wales.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Pontrilas, Herefordshire hosts their decisive last auction,

0:02:33 > 0:02:35but whoa, there.

0:02:35 > 0:02:42Thomas and Mark first wet their shopping whistles in Hay-on-Wye, upon the Welsh border.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45THEY BOTH SING: # We plough the fields and scatter

0:02:45 > 0:02:49# The good seed on the land... #

0:02:51 > 0:02:56So, in fine voice, our boys enter Hay-on-Wye,

0:02:56 > 0:02:58famous for its number of bookshops, some 30 in all,

0:02:58 > 0:03:01and its literary festival,

0:03:01 > 0:03:04hence it's often dubbed the town of books.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05But forget paperbacks,

0:03:05 > 0:03:07it's antiques we're after.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Mark's heading up the hill to Bain and Murrin,

0:03:10 > 0:03:14purveyors of the finest junk.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Junk?- Lederhosen.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Goodness me. Great fun.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24You do this sort of knee slapping bit, don't you, and leap up and down?

0:03:24 > 0:03:25It's not the weather, is it?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Not the weather for lederhosen.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Ah, goodness me. Becky?- Yes.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Can I ask you, this magnificent dolls' house...- Yes.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Late '50s, I would have thought. - Late '50s?

0:03:42 > 0:03:44I love the garage,

0:03:44 > 0:03:46I love the tin windows.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Tudoresque style.

0:03:48 > 0:03:53It's big, it's decorative, it's showy.

0:03:53 > 0:03:5425 quid?

0:03:54 > 0:03:57£25, it's tempting, isn't it?

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Parquet floor.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07That's a rather nice suburban, erm, detached.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Erm...

0:04:09 > 0:04:13Two large double bedrooms, bathroom, two reception rooms,

0:04:13 > 0:04:16and single detached garage.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Garden to the front and rear.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21Does he think he's on Homes Under The Hammer?

0:04:21 > 0:04:26- Becky?- Yes.- £15? Any good?

0:04:26 > 0:04:29It clears it off your shelf, gives you a lot more space, doesn't it?

0:04:29 > 0:04:3220?

0:04:32 > 0:04:33Is that your very best? 18?

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Go on, I'll buy it if it's under £20, I will buy it.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40- It's very cheap for 18.- Yeah, but it gives me a chance, doesn't it?

0:04:40 > 0:04:44- You're on my side, you want me to beat Thomas, don't you?- Do I?

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Yeah, you do. You do.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Erm, go on, then. - Because I'm the new boy.

0:04:49 > 0:04:54- Thank you, Becky.- OK.- Thank you very much indeed. £18. Yeah.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57We'll have some fun with that, won't we?

0:04:57 > 0:04:58Hmm.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02At the other end of town, Thomas is at the chic-er Hay Antiques Market,

0:05:02 > 0:05:06and with 17 rooms, there's bound to be a little treasure

0:05:06 > 0:05:08just nestling.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11HE LAUGHS

0:05:11 > 0:05:14"Let them swing."

0:05:17 > 0:05:22What a wonderful thing. "Bottoms up."

0:05:22 > 0:05:26(Isn't that ghastly? Oh, isn't that horrible?

0:05:26 > 0:05:28(I mean, isn't this absolutely, wonderfully kitsch?

0:05:30 > 0:05:33(I've got to have it.)

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Well, I think we're seeing another side to Thomas here.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38A saucy Japanese mug for £10. Bottoms up!

0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Glennydd?- Yes.- I've found something in your room...- Right.

0:05:45 > 0:05:50- ..which has made me giggle. I think you probably know what it is.- Yes.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52And, erm, I've got to buy it.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Right.- But obviously, I know it's not very much.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59But you want it at rock bottom, don't you?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Five?

0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Five would be ideal, that's what I had in mind.- Good.- Is that all right?

0:06:05 > 0:06:07- That's fine.- Thank you very much. - You're welcome.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Yeah, but not to everyone's taste.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Up the road, Mark's in Fleur De Lys,

0:06:14 > 0:06:17and under the stewardship of Sally,

0:06:17 > 0:06:20there's not a bit of kitsch in sight.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Lovely Georgian chair. Look how wide it is, look at the colour of it.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Got to stay away from chairs at the moment though,

0:06:26 > 0:06:27it's not the flavour of the month.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Nice to find a shop with antiques in it.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Yeah, Sally, he's right.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39Ah-ha, isn't that lovely? Look at the front of that.

0:06:40 > 0:06:45Isn't that beautiful? Big and showy and beautiful colours.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Which are typical of Nove Ware,

0:06:48 > 0:06:51a tin-glazed earthenware much like Delft,

0:06:51 > 0:06:54which comes from the Italian town of Nove, near Venice.

0:06:54 > 0:06:59Pieces can fetch around £1,500 at auction,

0:06:59 > 0:07:03but because of the damage, this one's a snip at £28.

0:07:04 > 0:07:10Unfortunately, the base has had a lot of restoration.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12When something has been badly restored,

0:07:12 > 0:07:14they tend to paint over everything.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17If you took all that off, I think you might find,

0:07:17 > 0:07:20if you look through here, a lot of the original base.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25It's there. Oh, we're going to have to have a go at this, aren't we?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Right, Sally, my darling, my bestest friend in the world.- Oh!

0:07:28 > 0:07:30I've got to sell this at Hereford.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Has it come in with something else, have you bought it well?

0:07:33 > 0:07:37Because there's a lot of damage on it, and I want to buy it for under £20.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39- It's one of my guest dealers. - Is it?

0:07:39 > 0:07:42It's not knocking off too much, is it? Do you think he'd do it?

0:07:42 > 0:07:43Could you ask him for me?

0:07:43 > 0:07:46£18, under £20 and I'll have a go.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50So at £28, Sally gets a-haggling

0:07:50 > 0:07:52with the dealer on Mark's behalf.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56And he's offering you 18... OK.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59- 20 is...- 20?- Bottom line.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Well, for the sake of a couple of quid, to-ing and fro-ing

0:08:01 > 0:08:03and telephoning and everything, I'll have that for 20.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Right, thank you very much indeed. - I just love it.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- I think you'll be all right with that.- Do you like it?- Yes, I do.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Well, she would say that, wouldn't she?

0:08:11 > 0:08:13So that's two in the bag for Mark.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Now, back at the Hay Antiques Market, Thomas has gone all teachery

0:08:16 > 0:08:19about a glass jug.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22This is important, from a design point of view,

0:08:22 > 0:08:26it's Koloman Moser or Josef Hoffmann and for Lutz.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30Lutz is a glass manufacturers from Austria.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33It's aged, it's about 1910.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36And what a piece of design for a jug.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42Glass manufacturers Lutz were known for championing

0:08:42 > 0:08:44art nouveau and deco forms of design

0:08:44 > 0:08:48from about 1890 into the 20th century.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52You can imagine on a hot summer's day

0:08:52 > 0:08:54- bouncing bits of ice.- Mmm.

0:08:54 > 0:08:59Lemonade jugs - alcoholic, I hope - and having a tremendous time.

0:08:59 > 0:09:04Ticket price is 55. I'm going to go and negotiate on this.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08That means a phone call to the dealer. Over to you, Glynis.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Oh, hello, Maggie, I wonder what would be Robin's best price

0:09:11 > 0:09:14on your Lutz crackle-glaze jug?

0:09:14 > 0:09:1755.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Yes, I suggested that, but I think he might want a little more.

0:09:20 > 0:09:2235?

0:09:22 > 0:09:2535? Yes, go on, she says.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Really?- Yes.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29- She's obviously in a good humour today.- Are you?

0:09:29 > 0:09:32- She won't take any more off for good humour, then?- I don't think so.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34- You think I've reached the limit? - I think, yes.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36I think you'd be sort of chancing your arm after that.

0:09:36 > 0:09:41Well, you know, nothing wrong with that. 35, OK. It's a deal.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Thanks. Thanks, Maggie, goodbye. - Thank you, Maggie.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Meanwhile, back at Fleur De Lys, Mark is also looking for another bold bargain,

0:09:50 > 0:09:52but maybe one that's not so damaged.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57This is rather nice. I like this.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01Georgian mahogany cutlery box.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Lovely colour.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Been converted into a stationery box,

0:10:05 > 0:10:07put your letters and things in there.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Pens, whatever. It's lovely.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13But the price isn't so lovely, it's a whopping £235.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17So owner Sylvia has arrived to manage the negotiations,

0:10:17 > 0:10:19and she doesn't look as if she takes prisoners.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Supposing I said 160?

0:10:22 > 0:10:24160.

0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Would you do it for 150? - Because it's you. - Oh, you are a darling.

0:10:30 > 0:10:36- Oh, we're going to have a go, aren't we, Sylvia?- Yeah.- Thank you.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37You loose woman!

0:10:37 > 0:10:41You'll get a kiss in a minute, if you're good.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43He's not joking, you know.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Now, not to be outdone,

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Thomas is also making hay up the road with Rhona, lucky girl.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55(I like that chalice.)

0:10:55 > 0:10:57There's no price on it.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01Chalices are drinking vessels considered sacred in Christian worship

0:11:01 > 0:11:02and in literature, particularly,

0:11:02 > 0:11:08this Holy Grail of objects is said to possess miraculous powers,

0:11:08 > 0:11:11a thought not lost on Thomas.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Do you think, if I drank out of this, I'd live forever?

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Is this the Holy Grail? Is this going to make me beat Mark?

0:11:19 > 0:11:27You wish! At £160, it looks as if it's not the only thing Thomas is eyeing up.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35This is a toasting goblet. Early 19th century.

0:11:35 > 0:11:40Commemorative for the Duke of Wellington and his army,

0:11:40 > 0:11:43at the Battle of Waterloo, for beating Bonaparte.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Of course, the man didn't know when to stop, really.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48We'd had a good scrap with him at Trafalgar, on the sea,

0:11:48 > 0:11:52and then he sort of, you know, his ugly head rose up again and we had another one.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Now, your rummer, please?

0:11:55 > 0:11:58What can be the best on that one, thank you?

0:11:58 > 0:12:02Mmm, come on, Rhona. Ticket price £38, girl.

0:12:02 > 0:12:03£30.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08- That doesn't seem much, does it?- No.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Could we... OK, that's fine.

0:12:18 > 0:12:25- Ahh.- Tell me about that. - Well, it's a piece of blanc de Chine, Chinese.

0:12:25 > 0:12:30It's so fine and so beautiful, and we just, even in the 18th century,

0:12:30 > 0:12:34had such trouble making porcelain that looked like that.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37I've had it at home for a long time because I love it.

0:12:37 > 0:12:42What's the very, very, very best on that, please?

0:12:42 > 0:12:49- 160. - That is a huge gamble. What for all three?

0:12:49 > 0:12:52£300 for the three items.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55Come on, a little bit more!

0:12:55 > 0:12:58We can't negate the history and the beauty of these objects

0:12:58 > 0:13:02- by haggling over a couple of pounds.- OK.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06Oh, is Thomas about to take a big risk?

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Go for it, man!

0:13:08 > 0:13:10- Go on, then, I'll do it.- OK.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12- I'll pay £300.- Right.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14I can't believe I've done that.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18I need to sit down.

0:13:18 > 0:13:24It's a very dangerous game I've just played. I've just played an absolute nightmare.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28So let's see how this £300 nightmare works out.

0:13:28 > 0:13:33Now, it's £150 for the libation cup,

0:13:33 > 0:13:36£120 for the chalice,

0:13:36 > 0:13:38and £30 for the glass rummer.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Cor, can't wait for the auction!

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Our experts are heading onwards.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Next stop is to Newport, in Gwent.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50I mean, I always imagined it to be a bit of a sort of chick magnet.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53There's something rather coarse, Thomas,

0:13:53 > 0:13:56about calling a 1967 Sunbeam Alpine,

0:13:56 > 0:13:58a classic English sports car,

0:13:58 > 0:14:00a "chick magnet".

0:14:03 > 0:14:08So here we are in Newport, a city on the River Usk, and across which

0:14:08 > 0:14:12engineers built, in 1906,

0:14:12 > 0:14:14the Newport transporter bridge.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17It takes cars, pedestrians and bikes,

0:14:17 > 0:14:21and is now one of only eight remaining in the world.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23What a wonderful looking thing.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Meanwhile, Mark is hoping to find a similar rare antique

0:14:26 > 0:14:30to get him to the finishing line in winning time.

0:14:30 > 0:14:35- Hello, I'm Mark.- Hello. Tony. - Hello, Tony.

0:14:35 > 0:14:39Tony, do you know who this is? This is Thomas, after a bad night.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42- After a bad night.- Most certainly.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46Or after spending £300 in one go. Ha!

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Right, let's have a look.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51I do quite like this. It caught my eye

0:14:51 > 0:14:53because it's a sort of art glass.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58- '50s,'60s?- Yes.- Yeah?

0:14:58 > 0:15:01I think I have a little bit of information in there for you.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07Yeah, 1950s seaweed glass, and it's pre-Baxter.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11It's made by the famous Whitefriars Company

0:15:11 > 0:15:15and plain pieces like this 1950s smoked glass vase

0:15:15 > 0:15:19were their staple diet before Geoffrey Baxter joined in 1954

0:15:19 > 0:15:24and created its celebrated textured glass range.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Ticket price on this, £55.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32I won't haggle or be stupid, I just want a figure,

0:15:32 > 0:15:34really as low as you possibly can.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Have a think about that. You mentioned a bit of Mauchline ware.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40- I would like to see that. - In this cabinet.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41I like that, Tony, that's lovely.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Ooh, good subject, look,

0:15:44 > 0:15:48St Paul's Cathedral, London.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52And it says on the base, "Lucy, 1885." Goodness me.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Well, that's a little bit special, isn't it?

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Oh, indeed!

0:15:57 > 0:16:02That personal inscription makes this turret-shaped piece rare.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06What's more, it's a money box,

0:16:06 > 0:16:08but at £125, it's pricey.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11It's a lovely piece, but I've just got to buy it very cheaply,

0:16:11 > 0:16:12or I'm not going to make a profit.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15How much? Because I won't haggle. Real bottom line.

0:16:15 > 0:16:1765 quid.

0:16:17 > 0:16:18And the vase?

0:16:18 > 0:16:23The vase, that would probably be your bargain of the day.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25I could actually do that for 45.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Yeah.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32So, £110 for the two.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35I'll tell you what, I didn't mean to haggle, and that's the truth,

0:16:35 > 0:16:37but I'll say it anyway, if I bought two items,

0:16:37 > 0:16:40if I bought that for 50 and that for 35, that's 85.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Does that still give you a profit? - A little bit of profit.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47All right, well, let's have those.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51- Thank you, Tony.- Amazing what you can get for a no-haggle haggle, eh?

0:16:53 > 0:16:56Meanwhile, Thomas is heading out of town, or is he?

0:16:56 > 0:17:01The car is making an extraordinary noise.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03WHIRRING

0:17:03 > 0:17:07I don't know what that noise is, the red button is on.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11Erm... It's smoking.

0:17:11 > 0:17:12So with the car out of action...

0:17:14 > 0:17:18..Thomas is having to hitch a lift, because

0:17:18 > 0:17:20he's on his way to Berkeley,

0:17:20 > 0:17:2235 miles east of Newport,

0:17:22 > 0:17:25in the county of Gloucestershire,

0:17:25 > 0:17:29to investigate a case of a right royal murder.

0:17:33 > 0:17:38Berkeley is a town dominated by the castle,

0:17:38 > 0:17:40home to the Berkeley family.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44Indeed, they are only one of three families in England

0:17:44 > 0:17:47who can trace their ancestry back to Saxon times.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55The castle started life as a fortress nine centuries ago,

0:17:55 > 0:17:56but is now a stately home,

0:17:56 > 0:18:00brimming with stunning antiques and artefacts.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02Charles Berkeley, who is heir to the castle

0:18:02 > 0:18:04and spent his childhood here,

0:18:04 > 0:18:07has some riveting stories for Thomas,

0:18:07 > 0:18:11starting with the tale of a gruesome royal murder. Wah!

0:18:17 > 0:18:21In 1327, Edward II met his death here,

0:18:21 > 0:18:24on the orders of the Queen and her lover.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28His dungeon still remains virtually untouched today.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31Why do you think... Oh, my, that's horrific.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Fairly gloomy, isn't it?

0:18:33 > 0:18:38I know the sun is shining in and it looks rustic and charming,

0:18:38 > 0:18:42apart from the skull, which is quite scary.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Why was he murdered here?

0:18:45 > 0:18:48The barons were furious with Edward because he had no strength or power

0:18:48 > 0:18:52and had got rid of a lot of the noble families.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54He was considered, at the time, a bit of a weak King,

0:18:54 > 0:18:58and he was eventually put to death in this cell.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Killing the King, though, wasn't easy.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05This is the dungeon, Thomas, that Edward...

0:19:05 > 0:19:09They put rotting animal carcasses in here, piled them up in this dungeon.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12It's the only surviving dungeon in the castle.

0:19:12 > 0:19:1530 feet down to the courtyard level.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17They hoped to asphyxiate him from the fumes

0:19:17 > 0:19:21from these rotting carcasses in the cell next door.

0:19:21 > 0:19:25But he survived that and they realised, after five months,

0:19:25 > 0:19:27that they couldn't go keeping the King here,

0:19:27 > 0:19:30and in the end, he was murdered with a red hot poker...

0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Yes.- ..on his backside, so there was no mark on the outside of his body.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35So everyone thought he'd died of natural causes.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Was that the reason why? - That's what we're led to believe.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40His screams were heard, so they say, over the river.

0:19:40 > 0:19:44Doesn't bear thinking about, really.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47Despite that gruesome episode in its history,

0:19:47 > 0:19:51the castle's links with royalty have had their benefits though.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53This wall hanging here,

0:19:53 > 0:19:56it's silk and cloth mixed together,

0:19:56 > 0:19:59made locally. The thought was that the wall hangings

0:19:59 > 0:20:03come from Henry VIII's bedchamber at Hampton Court.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06When Henry VIII came with Anne Boleyn,

0:20:06 > 0:20:10soon after he'd got married, and stayed at the castle a couple of times,

0:20:10 > 0:20:12we believe it was a gift to the family.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15It's unbelievable to think that this hanging is

0:20:15 > 0:20:17actually 500 years old.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21- And the colours are still so strong. - Absolutely.

0:20:21 > 0:20:22And it is in good condition.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25It is in good condition, especially the higher up bits,

0:20:25 > 0:20:27because I imagine as a child, you would like to pick.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30My brother and I often did.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33It's just lovely to have on this wall, it brightens it up.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37And the royal association with Berkeley Castle didn't end there.

0:20:37 > 0:20:42Henry VIII's daughter, Elizabeth I, made a fleeting visit

0:20:42 > 0:20:45and went deer hunting. And in more recent times,

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Princess Margaret and Prince Charles

0:20:47 > 0:20:51have even passed over its illustrious threshold.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Well, back down to earth. Let's get a reminder

0:20:56 > 0:21:00of what our experts have bought on the last leg of this road trip.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03Mark has spent a healthy £273 on five lots -

0:21:03 > 0:21:07a large dolls' house, a cutlery base,

0:21:07 > 0:21:12an Italian pedestal vase, a Whitefriars vase and a money box.

0:21:12 > 0:21:17Thomas, meanwhile, has parted with £340, also on five lots.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20A Bottoms Up mug, a Lutz glass jug,

0:21:20 > 0:21:24a Duke of Wellington toasting goblet, a porcelain libation cup

0:21:24 > 0:21:26and a silver-plated chalice.

0:21:26 > 0:21:32So, with their road trip nearly complete, what do Mark and Thomas really think

0:21:32 > 0:21:34about each other's final auction items?

0:21:34 > 0:21:36I think he's done really well

0:21:36 > 0:21:38and he's got a really good eye,

0:21:38 > 0:21:41so I'm really impressed, actually.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44I am very, very impressed with the way he's done things.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Who knows? Let's see what happens at the auction.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48I thought Thomas was rather clever.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51As always, he's not shy when it comes to spending money.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54I loved his silver-plated chalice,

0:21:54 > 0:21:58gorgeous classical shape, lovely quality.

0:21:58 > 0:21:59Will he make a profit?

0:21:59 > 0:22:01I do hope so, it deserves to.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Right, to the auction.

0:22:04 > 0:22:09And thankfully, the Sunbeam is back in service, so it's full steam ahead!

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Thomas and Mark started their final leg

0:22:14 > 0:22:18in Hay-on-Wye, and are heading inevitably

0:22:18 > 0:22:22to auction in Pontrilas, Herefordshire.

0:22:24 > 0:22:28Our experts' destination for this final auction showdown

0:22:28 > 0:22:33is Ward & Co, who sell everything from objets d'art to tools and machinery.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Right, Thomas. Down to the wire, Thomas.- Down to the wire.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40This is it.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43Come on, I'm ready for a thrashing.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Here we go, folks, it's the final showdown!

0:22:46 > 0:22:48We're kicking off with

0:22:48 > 0:22:49that smoked glass vase.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51The auctioneer has confirmed

0:22:51 > 0:22:54it is Whitefriars.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56£20 to get on, 20 I've got, 20,

0:22:56 > 0:22:5825, 30, £30 here,

0:22:58 > 0:23:01at 30, 35, do you want?

0:23:01 > 0:23:05£30 only bid, 40, 45 there, £50 your turn,

0:23:05 > 0:23:0855, £60, 60, 65.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10At £60 in the front row,

0:23:10 > 0:23:13going away at £60.

0:23:13 > 0:23:14Goes at 60.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17Ooh. Almost doubled your money.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19I said to the chap in the shop,

0:23:19 > 0:23:21it will either be a money back

0:23:21 > 0:23:22or it will make 65 quid.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26It's a good start for the boy in second place.

0:23:26 > 0:23:27So can Thomas do as well

0:23:27 > 0:23:29with his bit of glass?

0:23:29 > 0:23:3225 is there, thank you, 25,

0:23:32 > 0:23:3430, 35, 40, 45,

0:23:34 > 0:23:3750, 55, 60, 65,

0:23:37 > 0:23:4070, 75?

0:23:40 > 0:23:42£80, 80? 85,

0:23:42 > 0:23:45£90, 90, 95?

0:23:45 > 0:23:48Isn't that the lady who bought Mark's Whitefriars?

0:23:48 > 0:23:49100.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Well, I'm really excited about this.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Yeah, 105. 110?

0:23:53 > 0:23:55£105.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58- I think you've woken up now, Thomas. - 105.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00You know, a part of me is delighted

0:24:00 > 0:24:01and there's another part of me,

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Thomas, that is not very happy.

0:24:04 > 0:24:05All I can do is this...

0:24:05 > 0:24:08£105?!

0:24:09 > 0:24:13Indeed, and that puts Thomas firmly in the lead.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16So can Mark's money box also spin a profit?

0:24:16 > 0:24:21Start me away on this one, what do we want? Surely 50 for it... 30.

0:24:21 > 0:24:25- Come on.- £20, ten to get away, ten, I have ten, ten,

0:24:25 > 0:24:2715, 20, 20, 30,

0:24:27 > 0:24:2940, 50, £50.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31£60, £70, 75.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34At £70 nearest the door, there's a bid for £70.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Goes and away at £70.

0:24:39 > 0:24:40I was quite lucky with that.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Oh, he's catching up, Thomas.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45So will it be bottoms up,

0:24:45 > 0:24:46or bottoms down,

0:24:46 > 0:24:48for that quirky mug?

0:24:48 > 0:24:50£10, £5, surely?

0:24:50 > 0:24:53£5 I have by the door. Thank you, madam, at five.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55I'm very glad you're here.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59At £5, I'll take six now. Six, at six, at seven,

0:24:59 > 0:25:01at £8, nine, at ten.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03I've got ten. At ten. Take 11 now.

0:25:03 > 0:25:07At £10, selling. 11 just in time,

0:25:07 > 0:25:09at 11, 12 is there.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12- This is getting ridiculous. - Oh, shush.

0:25:12 > 0:25:1515... At 16, madam?

0:25:15 > 0:25:17- At 15, bid over here. - Oh, it's funny.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19- Goes away at 15.- £15.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23That's just ludicrous, isn't it?

0:25:24 > 0:25:28Is this what I'm supposed to buy from now on? Novelty items.

0:25:28 > 0:25:32Well, there's just no accounting for taste.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36So anyone fancy a rare mock-Tudor doll's house

0:25:36 > 0:25:40with parquet flooring and garage?

0:25:40 > 0:25:43£50 then, at 50, take 60.

0:25:43 > 0:25:4750, only bid. At 50.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49At £50 it is then, goes in the front row at £50.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51That's fair enough.

0:25:51 > 0:25:55- You must be very pleased. - That's fair enough.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58It made what I said it'd make and I'm quite happy.

0:25:58 > 0:25:59- £32 in profit.- Yeah, £32.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03Oh, come on, boys, let's have a bit more liveliness,

0:26:03 > 0:26:06it's a profit, for goodness' sake!

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Let's hope the Duke of Wellington

0:26:08 > 0:26:10rummer will get a reaction.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12£50 to get going, if you wish.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15£50 I have, at 50, at 60, anyone?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Got to be sold. At £50.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21First, second, third and last time at £50.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24- There you are.- Listen, I think you should be pleased with that.- Why?

0:26:24 > 0:26:27I think that's very respectable. That's OK, that.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Yeah, and he should be pleased,

0:26:29 > 0:26:32because he is still leading in this race.

0:26:32 > 0:26:33and Mark has work to do.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37So is his cutlery box,

0:26:37 > 0:26:39with that hefty £150 price tag,

0:26:39 > 0:26:41going to be the answer?

0:26:41 > 0:26:44£50 to get going, £50, who wants it £50?

0:26:44 > 0:26:4760, 60, 70, 80, 90.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Ridiculous.

0:26:49 > 0:26:50Slow, isn't it?

0:26:50 > 0:26:52- I am worried now. - She's bidding on it.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55100, 120,

0:26:55 > 0:26:58140, 140. In at 160,

0:26:58 > 0:26:59160.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02Well done. You've done really well.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06And, Thomas, I said it was a money-back piece and I was right.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09Yes, but you're not going to win that way,

0:27:09 > 0:27:11unless Thomas has a disaster.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14His chalice is next.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17£20, 20, I have, at 20, 20 it is, at £20,

0:27:17 > 0:27:1920 it is, 25, 30 on the stage,

0:27:19 > 0:27:2230, 35, down here,

0:27:22 > 0:27:2540, I have 40, 45 now.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Oh, dear, I sense trouble.

0:27:27 > 0:27:3150, 55, 55, 60, at 60, 65.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35At £65 first, second, third and last time, at £65.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39£55 loss.

0:27:39 > 0:27:43That's a heinous error.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45More of a heinous blow, I'd say,

0:27:45 > 0:27:48and it puts Mark in the lead.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52But can he hold onto it with this?

0:27:52 > 0:27:54It's rare, but it's damaged.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56£50, are you interested at £50?

0:27:56 > 0:27:5950, at 50, 50 bid,

0:27:59 > 0:28:0360, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100,

0:28:03 > 0:28:06110, 120, is it?

0:28:06 > 0:28:08At 110, bid at 110.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11It's still cheap, but it's got to go, and I sell it at £110.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14Brilliant, well done, you.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16You must be really pleased?

0:28:16 > 0:28:19I'm pleased that I was vindicated.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21But, Mark, it was so pretty.

0:28:21 > 0:28:25Finally, a smile. Good grief!

0:28:25 > 0:28:26Well, it's a cliff-hanger now.

0:28:28 > 0:28:33Thomas needs to make more than £132 before costs

0:28:33 > 0:28:35on his libation cup to win this leg.

0:28:35 > 0:28:39Someone start me somewhere. £50, if you like. £50.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Is there a glimmer? £10.

0:28:46 > 0:28:47Oh, no.

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Ten, I got ten.

0:28:49 > 0:28:5015, £20, at 20, 25 now,

0:28:50 > 0:28:5425, £30, 35, 35,

0:28:54 > 0:28:56I got 30. This is a bargain.

0:28:56 > 0:28:57I'll say.

0:28:57 > 0:29:0140, five, 50, five, 60, five,

0:29:01 > 0:29:0360 here, at 60.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05£60, going to the phone then.

0:29:05 > 0:29:10For the first time at 60, for the second, third and last time at £60.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Good for me, bad for you. - Yeah, terrible.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18- I think somebody just got a bargain. - They did, they did.

0:29:18 > 0:29:22That was a telephone bidder and nobody to bid against.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24Oh, dear.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26Well, that's auctions for you.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28Well, Mark, well done.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30You've thrashed me on this one.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33You've done really well. Come on.

0:29:33 > 0:29:34Good fun though.

0:29:38 > 0:29:42Thomas started this final leg of the Road Trip with £387.98,

0:29:42 > 0:29:44but after auction costs,

0:29:44 > 0:29:47lost £98.10,

0:29:47 > 0:29:50leaving him with £289.88

0:29:50 > 0:29:52at the end of this trip.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56New boy Mark, however,

0:29:56 > 0:29:59began with £330.07

0:29:59 > 0:30:02and made a massive £96 profit after costs,

0:30:02 > 0:30:07leaving him winning this final leg with £426.07.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13And all that profit goes to Children in Need.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18Come on, Mark. Well done.

0:30:18 > 0:30:19Thank you, Thomas.

0:30:19 > 0:30:23You must be very, very pleased with yourself.

0:30:23 > 0:30:27- That was good fun, Thomas, that was good fun.- Good fun for you.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29- Where to now? - I don't know, Mark, where to?

0:30:29 > 0:30:32Onward and upward.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35There's always another one, Thomas. Let's go and find one.

0:30:39 > 0:30:43Sadly, there isn't another one for Thomas and Mark,

0:30:43 > 0:30:45but didn't they do well?

0:30:45 > 0:30:47So long, chaps!

0:30:48 > 0:30:50It's a whole new Road Trip,

0:30:50 > 0:30:53hitting the road with antiques experts Philip Serrell and Jonathan Pratt.

0:30:53 > 0:30:58Between them, they have 55 years' experience in the antiques game,

0:30:58 > 0:31:01so competition is in their blood.

0:31:01 > 0:31:05This is the hare against the tortoise.

0:31:05 > 0:31:06You're the tortoise, then?

0:31:06 > 0:31:09No, I saw myself as the hare.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11Well, we'll soon find out, won't we?

0:31:11 > 0:31:16Philip Serrell is a hard-nosed negotiator.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18I'll give you £65 for it.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23Listen, I'm doing you a favour.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25- £60.- Get out of here!

0:31:27 > 0:31:32Jonathan Pratt sometimes seems a bit out of focus.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37Yes...

0:31:37 > 0:31:39I don't know what I'm doing.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42Good. That bodes well, then(!)

0:31:42 > 0:31:47Our pair begin their adventure with £200 each,

0:31:47 > 0:31:52the open road in front of them, and the wind up their tails.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55On this road trip, Philip and Jonathan will travel 140 miles,

0:31:55 > 0:31:58through the Lake District, all the way to Wilmslow.

0:31:58 > 0:32:01This first leg kicks off in Cockermouth,

0:32:01 > 0:32:05before landing at auction in Kirkby Lonsdale.

0:32:05 > 0:32:10As Cockermouth draws near, does anyone have a buying strategy?

0:32:10 > 0:32:14I think sticking to the decorative and traditional

0:32:14 > 0:32:18- is a good basis. - The dafter, the better, I think.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26The ancient Cumbrian town of Cockermouth,

0:32:26 > 0:32:32famously the birthplace of poet William Wordsworth in 1770.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34But, for Jonathan and Philip,

0:32:34 > 0:32:38actions must speak surely louder than words.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Time to shop.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42I can't wait. I'm really looking forward to this.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45Welcome to Cockermouth, JP.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47D'you know where you're going?

0:32:47 > 0:32:51The pair go their separate ways, on the hunt for the best bargain.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Let the battle begin.

0:32:53 > 0:32:57And Philip's up with his first shop of the day.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Morning, how are you? - Morning, squire.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Colin, Philip. How are you?

0:33:04 > 0:33:06Is it all right if I just wander round?

0:33:06 > 0:33:08Course it is.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10After a bit of exploring, Philip's found something

0:33:10 > 0:33:14that tickles his fancy. Not difficult.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18Those fit the Serrell bill, don't they?

0:33:18 > 0:33:21I think they're relatively old.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24You can see where they've just retted in the rowlocks.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27Can you say that before the watershed?

0:33:27 > 0:33:29You can say that. It's a nautical term.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31There's some mileage in these.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33I'm going to give him £15 for those.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37Before he tries to negotiate on the oars,

0:33:37 > 0:33:39Philip wants to assess his options.

0:33:39 > 0:33:43Can I have a look at that poster at the back, please?

0:33:43 > 0:33:45There's a demand for old posters.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47Early travel posters can make a fortune.

0:33:47 > 0:33:51This 1940s vintage propaganda poster,

0:33:51 > 0:33:53by artist, John Pimlott,

0:33:53 > 0:33:56would have been printed by the National Savings Movement,

0:33:56 > 0:33:59in an attempt to raise funds for the war effort.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02Oh, that's a pity.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05This has got a huge rip on the right hand side.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08£45 will own it.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10I'm interested in buying that, and that.

0:34:10 > 0:34:14Don't know why I'm interested in that. Lunacy. But I like lunacy.

0:34:14 > 0:34:19- £50 for the pair.- I'm going to say a bit less than that.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21But we've got a starting point, haven't we?

0:34:21 > 0:34:24- We've got to start somewhere.- Let me see if I can find something else.

0:34:24 > 0:34:28Philip's sticking to his guns to get a good deal.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33What on earth are those?

0:34:33 > 0:34:36They're axle hooks, off a horse cart.

0:34:40 > 0:34:42I can see £50 for that lot now.

0:34:42 > 0:34:45- How about £60?- Get out of here!

0:34:45 > 0:34:49- Meet us half way. - No, it's 50 quid, Colin.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51- Another look. - The cards are on the table.

0:34:51 > 0:34:54Philip's leaving Colin to mull over his offer.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57Has his clever tactic worked?

0:34:57 > 0:35:02- I'll give you 50 quid, and that's my best shot.- Cash?

0:35:02 > 0:35:03- Yep.- Done.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06- It was £40, wasn't it(?) - £50, sir.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09Naughty. Philip's come out fighting, and with three items,

0:35:09 > 0:35:11the competition is on.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14Time for Jonathan to spring into action.

0:35:18 > 0:35:19HUMS TO HIMSELF

0:35:19 > 0:35:21Dive in there.

0:35:21 > 0:35:22Or not.

0:35:24 > 0:35:29Phil's probably bought two objects by now.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32Two broken bits of wood, I expect.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35CREEPY HORROR MUSIC

0:35:37 > 0:35:39Those fit the Serrell bill, don't they?

0:35:44 > 0:35:49By Jove, it looks like something's caught Jonathan's eye!

0:35:49 > 0:35:51Ooh, look! A pretty, pink vase.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54This is probably Monart, which is Scottish glass.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57Monart glass was made from the 1920s

0:35:57 > 0:36:00at the Moncrieff glass works in Scotland

0:36:00 > 0:36:03by a family of Spaniards, called Ysart.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06Modern glass is fashionable, cos people can put them in the home,

0:36:06 > 0:36:07put flowers in them.

0:36:07 > 0:36:10Also, they can collect. It's something they can research.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12They can pick it up fairly cheaply.

0:36:12 > 0:36:16Marked at £65, the Jonathan I know

0:36:16 > 0:36:20won't part with that much dosh this early in the game.

0:36:20 > 0:36:24I'd be interested in it, but only at £40. That'd be it for me.

0:36:24 > 0:36:28- I'll see what I can do.- Thanks.

0:36:28 > 0:36:32The thing about it is it's nice and honest. I know Phil would hate it.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35Yes, far too jazzy for our old Phil.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37Dusty old books are far more up his street.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39See what I mean?

0:36:40 > 0:36:43"The Cumberland Union Bank Book.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45"1876".

0:36:46 > 0:36:48This is what I really love about this business.

0:36:48 > 0:36:52You have this fantastic social history, and it's all here.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56If there's a Cumbrian museum,

0:36:56 > 0:37:00and they don't buy this, there's something seriously wrong somewhere.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02There's one price coming here, cos I've got to be mean.

0:37:02 > 0:37:06I'll give you 30 quid for it.

0:37:06 > 0:37:07There you are.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09Well...

0:37:11 > 0:37:14Good man. This is just absolutely fascinating.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17£80 down, but four items bagged.

0:37:17 > 0:37:19Not a bad start for Philip.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25How's Jonathan's haggling, over £40 for the pink vase, going?

0:37:25 > 0:37:29I've talked to the owner.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31He'd be willing to take £42.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36- I'll do that.- It's yours.- Only two quid more than I was asking.

0:37:36 > 0:37:37- Exactly.- I like that.

0:37:37 > 0:37:40I'd put it on the mantle, at home.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42That wouldn't make you a profit though.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45At last, it's one item down for Jonathan.

0:37:48 > 0:37:52Now it's Philip's turn to have a squizz in the same shop.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57Looks like they've got some really interesting things in here.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04The auction's in Kirkby Lonsdale.

0:38:04 > 0:38:08The least you can do is pronounce it correctly. It's "Kirby".

0:38:08 > 0:38:10We've got Kendal. Now, there's Kirkby Lonsdale.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12"Kirby". Oh, I give up.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15It's £6. That's just no money at all.

0:38:15 > 0:38:19But you're still going to drive a hard bargain, aren't you?

0:38:19 > 0:38:21What's the best on your road map?

0:38:21 > 0:38:23£5.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25SHE SIGHS

0:38:25 > 0:38:28£4. All right. That's it, £4.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31I haven't said anything yet. Haven't said a word.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33SHE LAUGHS

0:38:33 > 0:38:37- That's all I've got. - Fibber! You've got over £100.

0:38:37 > 0:38:38£3?

0:38:38 > 0:38:41No, I'm really sticking out for £4 here.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43I'll have it off you for £4.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45Jonathan and I can find our way round here now.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47With the fifth deal done already,

0:38:47 > 0:38:50Philip's on a roll, and back on the road.

0:38:50 > 0:38:55He lets Jonathan in on what's driving him to buy, buy, buy.

0:38:55 > 0:38:56I'd be happy to win.

0:38:56 > 0:39:01I don't mind what happens, as long as I come first.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04Having seen what the Cockermouth shops had to offer,

0:39:04 > 0:39:07our pair's next destination is another Cumbrian town.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10Keswick.

0:39:10 > 0:39:14Nestled between the Skiddaw mountains and Derwentwater,

0:39:14 > 0:39:18in the Lake District, Keswick is a rather idyllic destination.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20Also a bustling market town,

0:39:20 > 0:39:24with the striking Moot Hall standing proudly

0:39:24 > 0:39:25in the main square since 1813.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31New town, new shop. New Jonathan, we hope.

0:39:31 > 0:39:34Time to get spending.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36I hope there's a bargain to be done in here.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43It's a bit small for me.

0:39:45 > 0:39:49Is there any chance I could look at a vase, here?

0:39:49 > 0:39:50(Cheers).

0:39:52 > 0:39:53Gosh.

0:39:54 > 0:39:58What struck me when I saw it down the front there,

0:39:58 > 0:40:01was the colour of the glazes and the decoration

0:40:01 > 0:40:03is typically old Chinese.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06So, it's likely it's a copy

0:40:06 > 0:40:09of a second or third century vase.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11During the Tang Dynasty in China,

0:40:11 > 0:40:14from 618 to 907,

0:40:14 > 0:40:16a wide range of ceramics were produced.

0:40:16 > 0:40:17According to Jonathan,

0:40:17 > 0:40:20this vase resembles the style from that era.

0:40:21 > 0:40:24What would you be willing to accept for it?

0:40:24 > 0:40:27Well, I've got 85 on it. I would do it for a straight 60 quid.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29For me, £40.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32- And then, it's worth a risk.- Yeah.

0:40:32 > 0:40:34- £50 would be an absolute... - Yeah.

0:40:34 > 0:40:38Have a think at £50. See if you can find anything else, first.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41And he's off browsing again.

0:40:41 > 0:40:42Come along, Jonathan.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45Philip's got five items, compared to your one.

0:40:47 > 0:40:51This is a Japanese cloisonne vase.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54This is a vase made of copper, and then over the top,

0:40:54 > 0:40:56they lay a very thin wire.

0:40:56 > 0:40:57Between the wires of the pattern,

0:40:57 > 0:41:01they then put in coloured enamels, which are, basically, melted glass.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03The Japanese, at the end of the 19th century,

0:41:03 > 0:41:08were brilliant at it. The quality of these irises is beautiful.

0:41:14 > 0:41:17Crikey, that's odd, isn't it?

0:41:17 > 0:41:18It's like it's been in a fire.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21Almost like a thick lacquer's on there.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23Something has melted the glass.

0:41:23 > 0:41:27So, unless you were willing to accept

0:41:27 > 0:41:30£30 for it...

0:41:30 > 0:41:32- Shall I put it in a bag for you? - HE LAUGHS

0:41:32 > 0:41:37I know it's damaged but, marked at £125, I'd shake on it if I were you.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42- 30 quid.- £30.- Smashing.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45That's not a bad deal you've got!

0:41:45 > 0:41:48My decision is to be made, whether I want to take that pot.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50How much are you saying for that?

0:41:50 > 0:41:54- £50.- £50 you're saying for that. Are you SURE you're saying £50?

0:41:54 > 0:41:57- I could not go any less than £50. - You couldn't?

0:41:58 > 0:42:02- HE SIGHS - Come on. Decision time.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05- It's worth a punt, so I'll go for that as well.- Excellent.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08A bit of a theme here. Japanese, Chinese.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10I think the theme's vases, actually.

0:42:12 > 0:42:16Jonathan's bought his third vase for auction,

0:42:16 > 0:42:18but shopping isn't all the town of Keswick has to offer.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26The discovery of a form of graphite called wad

0:42:26 > 0:42:29resulted in the development of local pencil production.

0:42:29 > 0:42:33Where better for Philip to learn about the history of Keswick pencils

0:42:33 > 0:42:35than the Cumberland Pencil Museum?

0:42:35 > 0:42:40Alex Farthing, the museum manager, is primed to give the full tour.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43Welcome to the Pencil Museum!

0:42:43 > 0:42:46I never thought I'd get excited about pencils.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48Why pencils, here?

0:42:48 > 0:42:51Way back in the 1500s, the story goes

0:42:51 > 0:42:52there was a large storm,

0:42:52 > 0:42:54and shepherds went out to tend their flock.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57They found numerous trees fallen down on their land.

0:42:57 > 0:43:00One of the trees had become uprooted.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03Underneath, inside the roots, was a black substance.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06They pulled out that black substance and thought it was coal.

0:43:06 > 0:43:08They tried to burn it, it didn't burn.

0:43:08 > 0:43:12But it marked their hands. Later, they marked their sheep with it.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14That's a piece of wad.

0:43:14 > 0:43:17The graphite is the wad, ground down with other substances,

0:43:17 > 0:43:18to produce the graphite.

0:43:18 > 0:43:21How does that gradually convert into a pencil?

0:43:21 > 0:43:22I'll show you these slats.

0:43:22 > 0:43:27- It's a slat of Canadian cedar wood. - I understand that's made...

0:43:27 > 0:43:29You used to get tree trunks, slat them down.

0:43:29 > 0:43:31They'd come in a specific length.

0:43:31 > 0:43:33It's actually grooved,

0:43:33 > 0:43:35so all the channels are grooved in.

0:43:35 > 0:43:39Then you get round pieces of graphite.

0:43:39 > 0:43:43You put the graphite in the bottom of the slat. It gets glued in.

0:43:43 > 0:43:45The top slat goes on top, and you make a wooden sandwich.

0:43:45 > 0:43:48The top gets grooved into a round, and then the bottom,

0:43:48 > 0:43:53- and they all get separated. - I've just made a pencil.

0:43:54 > 0:43:56Pencils are everyday writing tools,

0:43:56 > 0:43:59but during the Second World War,

0:43:59 > 0:44:02they became, possibly, mightier than the sword.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10The gentleman who made this pencil

0:44:10 > 0:44:12was called Charles Fraser-Smith.

0:44:12 > 0:44:16He worked for MI6.

0:44:16 > 0:44:18And worked for the Government.

0:44:18 > 0:44:21He was instructed by the Government

0:44:21 > 0:44:22to come up with devices, instruments,

0:44:22 > 0:44:25that would help airmen

0:44:25 > 0:44:28throughout the war, if they fell into enemy territory,

0:44:28 > 0:44:30to get home again safely.

0:44:30 > 0:44:32Charles Fraser-Smith designed

0:44:32 > 0:44:35this brilliant secret pencil,

0:44:35 > 0:44:37issued to RAF pilots.

0:44:37 > 0:44:41Inside was a map of Germany, marking escape routes and safe houses,

0:44:41 > 0:44:46and a miniscule compass, underneath the rubber.

0:44:46 > 0:44:49If you set off into enemy territory,

0:44:49 > 0:44:51you snapped your pencil in half,

0:44:51 > 0:44:53and you could then pull out the little map.

0:44:53 > 0:44:57This Gadget-designing genius

0:44:57 > 0:45:00was actually the inspiration for Ian Fleming's character Q

0:45:00 > 0:45:02in the James Bond novels.

0:45:02 > 0:45:04Pay attention, Philip!

0:45:05 > 0:45:07The wonderful part of it

0:45:07 > 0:45:09is they were done completely secretly.

0:45:09 > 0:45:11So, in the evenings,

0:45:11 > 0:45:12everybody went home,

0:45:12 > 0:45:16and a selection of management came back, with five or six other people,

0:45:16 > 0:45:19and produced these pencils, but it looks like a normal pencil.

0:45:19 > 0:45:21Because of the war's Secrecy Act,

0:45:21 > 0:45:25how many of these kits were made remains a mystery,

0:45:25 > 0:45:29but it's thought only ten remain in the world today.

0:45:29 > 0:45:30It's really opened my eyes.

0:45:30 > 0:45:32I'm now going to scour antique shops

0:45:32 > 0:45:34to see if I can find a green pencil.

0:45:34 > 0:45:36Excellent. Lovely to have you.

0:45:38 > 0:45:42So, Philip's seen that the Lake District is the heart of discovery,

0:45:42 > 0:45:45invention, and creation,

0:45:45 > 0:45:48and for some, a pencil is not just a pencil.

0:45:51 > 0:45:53Wind in their hair,

0:45:53 > 0:45:57our boys are heading 20 miles east, to Penrith.

0:45:57 > 0:45:59Once the capital of Cumbria,

0:45:59 > 0:46:03this pretty town of Penrith is in the hub of the Eden Valley.

0:46:03 > 0:46:06A wonderful medieval market town

0:46:06 > 0:46:09that still supplies a wide surrounding area.

0:46:12 > 0:46:15I think one of the shops is just there...

0:46:15 > 0:46:17The gents are going head-to-head.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20They're about to share the same shop - look out!

0:46:20 > 0:46:23- Age before beauty.- No, no, no, no...

0:46:23 > 0:46:25And they've come with a strategy.

0:46:25 > 0:46:28- You go upstairs first, and then we'll swap over, yeah?- OK.

0:46:28 > 0:46:35Sounds polite, but Philip knows that usually, the rubbish is upstairs!

0:46:35 > 0:46:39- Right...- Philip's instinct's bang-on - what a lot of crockery.

0:46:39 > 0:46:40Yeah, that's lovely.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43Careful!

0:46:45 > 0:46:47..look at that baby! Ha!

0:46:47 > 0:46:49Walk away, Jonathan, walk away!

0:46:49 > 0:46:52Look out, the head honcho's here to suss out the competition.

0:46:52 > 0:46:54How are you getting on?

0:46:54 > 0:46:56Just looking, Phil, just looking, you know.

0:46:56 > 0:47:00Don't let him put you off, Jonathan!

0:47:02 > 0:47:07At last! Something appealing has caught his eye...

0:47:07 > 0:47:10She's quite a pretty young lady. I like it because it's...

0:47:10 > 0:47:14it's just a profile of a bust of a lady, which is very simple.

0:47:14 > 0:47:17Stamped 9C for nine carat - that's good enough.

0:47:17 > 0:47:21It's about 1880 in date, and they're getting more fashionable now.

0:47:21 > 0:47:25- How much is this one? - That one's 45 - it IS gold.

0:47:25 > 0:47:29You wouldn't take £35? You'd think about it...

0:47:29 > 0:47:32- £40.- Ha-ha!- Good tactic.

0:47:32 > 0:47:36You must be learning from Philip. Let her ponder your offer!

0:47:36 > 0:47:41- That little shell cameo of yours, you wouldn't do it for 35?- I would.

0:47:41 > 0:47:45- Well, I'll take that for £35, if I may?- Very good.- Thank you.

0:47:45 > 0:47:47Is Phil losing his mojo?

0:47:47 > 0:47:51I'm struggling here. What about our little sewing machine?

0:47:51 > 0:47:55That's lovely, isn't it, in its original box?

0:47:55 > 0:48:00- It's 1960s, Sylvia.- Do you think so? - Without a shadow of a doubt.

0:48:00 > 0:48:06- And how much do you want for it? - £22, instead of 29.

0:48:06 > 0:48:10- Sylvia, I'll give you 15 quid for it. - No, I don't give huge discounts.

0:48:10 > 0:48:14- I have to make a living.- Sylvia, it's time to change your policy.

0:48:14 > 0:48:16I would love to sell you something.

0:48:16 > 0:48:20Well, can you try a bit harder? This is my best and final shot.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22Can I give you 18 quid for it?

0:48:22 > 0:48:25- OK.- Sylvia, you're an angel. - I am, I know!

0:48:25 > 0:48:28Are you going soft on us, Philip,

0:48:28 > 0:48:32buying a child's sewing machine and giving away all these hugs?

0:48:32 > 0:48:34Dear, oh dear, oh dear.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36Shopping's over...

0:48:36 > 0:48:40Steady, Phil - looks as if you could do with a lie-down, mate.

0:48:41 > 0:48:45Both experts started this leg of the road trip with £200 each.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48Philip spent £102 on a pair of oars,

0:48:48 > 0:48:50a poster, two axle hubs, an accounts ledger,

0:48:50 > 0:48:55a map, and a child's sewing machine.

0:48:55 > 0:49:00Jonathan Pratt spent £157 on a vase that might be Chinese,

0:49:00 > 0:49:05a piece of Scottish glassware, a Victorian gold shell cameo,

0:49:05 > 0:49:07and a cloisonne vase.

0:49:07 > 0:49:10What do our rivals think of each others' buys?

0:49:10 > 0:49:14On the whole, he's got these five objects, and across the board,

0:49:14 > 0:49:20they're pretty unimaginative. He needs to take those big, brass nuts he bought and start wearing them.

0:49:20 > 0:49:23JP, bless him, he really had a punt, didn't he?

0:49:23 > 0:49:26That cloisonne vase, for me, the thing about cloisonne,

0:49:26 > 0:49:32if it's perfect, buy it, if it isn't, whatever the price - don't buy it.

0:49:32 > 0:49:37And the vase? Well, either he's horribly wrong,

0:49:37 > 0:49:40or I'm horribly wrong. I just wouldn't have bought that.

0:49:40 > 0:49:44I don't think it's Chinese. I think it's probably European,

0:49:44 > 0:49:48and I don't think it's anything like as old as he thinks it is.

0:49:48 > 0:49:51On the first leg of their road trip,

0:49:51 > 0:49:55the pair have travelled through Cumbria from Cockermouth to Keswick

0:49:55 > 0:49:58and on to Penrith.

0:49:58 > 0:50:02The final destination for today's auction is Kirkby Lonsdale.

0:50:08 > 0:50:11Kirkby Lonsdale lies on the River Lune,

0:50:11 > 0:50:14and the town's churchyard has breathtaking views.

0:50:14 > 0:50:19It's an ancient settlement, recorded back in the Domesday Book

0:50:19 > 0:50:23back in 1086. It was granted a charter to hold markets in the 13th Century,

0:50:23 > 0:50:27which continue to thrive today.

0:50:27 > 0:50:33The boys are heading for the auction, and it's a typical glorious British summer's day.

0:50:35 > 0:50:38No need to shut the window, you're driving next!

0:50:38 > 0:50:42Will Philip's safe buys or Jonathan's brave choices pay off

0:50:42 > 0:50:44and make the most profit?

0:50:44 > 0:50:48James Thompson Auctioneers has been a thriving business here since the 1940s,

0:50:48 > 0:50:51and today's auctioneer is Glyn Thompson.

0:50:54 > 0:50:55Time for the auction to begin!

0:50:55 > 0:50:59You're looking rather learned, chaps - and smug.

0:50:59 > 0:51:02First up, Philip's 19th-century accounts ledger.

0:51:02 > 0:51:07Interesting local lot, the 1876 Cumberland Union Bank ledger.

0:51:07 > 0:51:1120 to start. 20 bid, thank you. £20 bid, 25...

0:51:11 > 0:51:1325, 30, 35, 40.

0:51:13 > 0:51:1845, 50, 55...

0:51:18 > 0:51:21No? 55 bid, 60 I'll take. At 55, seated to my right,

0:51:21 > 0:51:23selling at 55.

0:51:23 > 0:51:26Game on.

0:51:26 > 0:51:30Don't get used to it, it's one of many - building you up for a fall.

0:51:30 > 0:51:34A decent start, with a £25 profit.

0:51:34 > 0:51:38Next is Philip's 1940s National Savings poster

0:51:38 > 0:51:40by artist John Pimlott.

0:51:40 > 0:51:43£30 for the poster?

0:51:43 > 0:51:46Well, ten to start me. £10 bid.

0:51:46 > 0:51:50The poster I'm selling, at £10 bid. 12, 12 bid, 14,

0:51:50 > 0:51:5216, 18,

0:51:52 > 0:51:5420, is it? I'm 18 bid.

0:51:54 > 0:51:5820, beg your pardon. 20 bid, 22, 24.

0:51:58 > 0:52:01£24, you're all out standing up.

0:52:01 > 0:52:04Bid sat down at 24, then, selling at 24.

0:52:04 > 0:52:07That's fair enough, did the job.

0:52:07 > 0:52:11Only £4 profit, but a profit nevertheless.

0:52:12 > 0:52:17- Your bit of cloisonne next.- Yeah. - I think that was a fine vase once.

0:52:17 > 0:52:21- There is damage.- Let's hope the damage doesn't lose Jonathan money.

0:52:21 > 0:52:24Pretty cloisonne vase, with iris decoration.

0:52:24 > 0:52:27Well, 10 to start.

0:52:27 > 0:52:30£10 bid, nice little iris vase.

0:52:30 > 0:52:3312 bid, 15, 15 bid, 18.

0:52:33 > 0:52:3620. £20 bid, two anywhere else?

0:52:36 > 0:52:40At £20, stood up now, selling at 20.

0:52:42 > 0:52:46Isn't going so well, JP, is it?

0:52:46 > 0:52:50Perhaps his Scottish vase will prove more popular.

0:52:50 > 0:52:56671 is the 1930s either Monart or Vasart

0:52:56 > 0:52:58Scottish glass vase.

0:52:58 > 0:53:02I have commission interest, I'll start this at £20 bid.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04Five I'll take now, 25.

0:53:04 > 0:53:0825. 25, 30, 35,

0:53:08 > 0:53:1140... £40 bid. Where's five? 45.

0:53:11 > 0:53:1445 bid. 50 if you like?

0:53:14 > 0:53:17Get him in, get him in.

0:53:17 > 0:53:20No, all out on the phone, at £45 in the centre of the room,

0:53:20 > 0:53:22selling at 45.

0:53:22 > 0:53:26Well, that's a nice £3 profit there.

0:53:26 > 0:53:31I hate to break it to you, but after commission, it's not done that well.

0:53:31 > 0:53:34Anyone out there want a sewing machine for their child?

0:53:34 > 0:53:43682, the child's Vulcan tin plate sewing machine in its original box.

0:53:43 > 0:53:46Ten bid. Thank you, £10 bid. 12, I'll take then.

0:53:46 > 0:53:4810 bid. 12. 12 bid.

0:53:48 > 0:53:4914. 14 bid.

0:53:49 > 0:53:5316. 18. 18 and 20 there.

0:53:53 > 0:53:5520 bid.

0:53:55 > 0:53:5622. 25.

0:53:56 > 0:54:0028. 30 bid. 30 bid.

0:54:00 > 0:54:03Two anywhere else? At £30, all done now.

0:54:03 > 0:54:05Selling then at 30. 340.

0:54:07 > 0:54:11Never mind, Jonathan, but yes, Philip has made a £12 profit.

0:54:11 > 0:54:17Let's hope Philip's next item keeps him on the road to success.

0:54:17 > 0:54:19Nice clean example of a Bartholomew's road map.

0:54:21 > 0:54:2310 to start me. 10 bid. Thank you, £10 bid.

0:54:23 > 0:54:2512, I'll take, the Bartholomew's map.

0:54:25 > 0:54:28At 12. 12 bid. 14.

0:54:28 > 0:54:3216. 18. 20. £20 bid.

0:54:32 > 0:54:35Two anywhere now? At £20. Selling then at 20.

0:54:35 > 0:54:39- That was sort of all right. - Very bright. Very bright.

0:54:39 > 0:54:41Good boy.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43Looks like that was a wise buy.

0:54:43 > 0:54:48Now, it's time for two of Philip's items in one lot.

0:54:50 > 0:54:52We've amalgamated two lots here.

0:54:52 > 0:54:56714 is the pair of wooden oars,

0:54:56 > 0:54:59plus the Victorian carriage hubs.

0:54:59 > 0:55:03At 30 bid. Thank you. £30 bid. 35 now I'll take. £30 bid.

0:55:03 > 0:55:0635. 35. 40 bid.

0:55:06 > 0:55:1045. 50 bid. 55.

0:55:10 > 0:55:1360 bid. 65. 70.

0:55:13 > 0:55:1675. 80. 85.

0:55:16 > 0:55:18JP, you've gone ever so pale.

0:55:18 > 0:55:22£85 standing up then. Selling now at 85.

0:55:24 > 0:55:27There's a man out there with a broken-down train

0:55:27 > 0:55:30and a boat without any oars. You've just made his day.

0:55:30 > 0:55:33Don't lose heart, Jonathan.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35Philip's doing rather well, though.

0:55:35 > 0:55:41Next, it's Jonathan's Chinese, or possibly just Chinese-style vase.

0:55:41 > 0:55:45Perhaps this will be the item that puts him back in the game.

0:55:45 > 0:55:48£10 the globular vase. Thank you. £10 bid.

0:55:48 > 0:55:5312 now I'll take. 12. 12 bid. 15. 18. 20.

0:55:53 > 0:55:5622. 25. 28.

0:55:56 > 0:56:0030 bid. £30 bid. Two anywhere else?

0:56:00 > 0:56:03At £30 now. Selling then at 30.

0:56:03 > 0:56:07My hopes and dreams dashed in one fall of the hammer.

0:56:07 > 0:56:11Ouch! He didn't see that coming. Another loss.

0:56:11 > 0:56:13726.

0:56:13 > 0:56:14Here we are, JP.

0:56:14 > 0:56:17But it's not over yet, Jonathan.

0:56:17 > 0:56:22It's the last lot, and you have one more chance with your pretty brooch.

0:56:22 > 0:56:24Victorian nine carat gold mounted shell cameo,

0:56:24 > 0:56:26classical design.

0:56:26 > 0:56:3020 to start me. The gold's worth that. 20 bid.

0:56:30 > 0:56:31£20 bid. And 5.

0:56:31 > 0:56:3425. 30. 35. 40.

0:56:34 > 0:56:4045. 50. 50 bid. Five anywhere else?

0:56:40 > 0:56:44Gold mounted cameo, at £50 then. Selling at 50.

0:56:44 > 0:56:45Jonathan ended on a profit.

0:56:45 > 0:56:49But it wasn't quite enough for him to win this leg of the game.

0:56:49 > 0:56:52There we go. At least I've redeemed myself.

0:56:52 > 0:56:55Soaked up a little bit of loss.

0:56:55 > 0:56:58I will walk out with my head high now and a spring in my step.

0:56:58 > 0:57:00Come on, let's go.

0:57:00 > 0:57:02Which means today the winner is

0:57:02 > 0:57:04our no-nonsense negotiator, Philip Serrell.

0:57:08 > 0:57:12Having both started with £200 apiece,

0:57:12 > 0:57:13after auction costs,

0:57:13 > 0:57:18Jonathan Pratt made a loss of £38.10 on his items.

0:57:18 > 0:57:22So for the next leg, he'll have £161.90 to spend.

0:57:27 > 0:57:29From his original £200,

0:57:29 > 0:57:33Philip Serrell made a profit of £73.48 after commission.

0:57:33 > 0:57:38So he has £273.48 to carry on to the next leg.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40Auction over!

0:57:43 > 0:57:46So nice to see Philip's always a gracious victor.

0:57:48 > 0:57:50Get out of here. You better drive,

0:57:50 > 0:57:53cos I want to count my money in the passenger seat.

0:57:56 > 0:57:59Did you leave the motor running?
