0:47:50 > 0:47:57.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06The nation's favourite antiques experts. £200 and a challenge.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Well, duck, do I buy you, or don't I?
0:48:08 > 0:48:11Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques
0:48:11 > 0:48:13- 'as they scour the UK.' - Yee-ha!
0:48:13 > 0:48:17- 'The aim is trade up and hope each antique turns a profit.'- Ooh!
0:48:17 > 0:48:18'But it is not as easy as it looks.
0:48:18 > 0:48:22- 'And dreams of glory can end in tatters.'- Get out of here.
0:48:22 > 0:48:25So, will it be the fast lane to success,
0:48:25 > 0:48:26or the slow road to bankruptcy?
0:48:26 > 0:48:29I want to go and cry!
0:48:29 > 0:48:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:48:35 > 0:48:39Today, we are back on the road with Philip Serrell and Jonathan Pratt.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42Young Jonathan seems to be taking
0:48:42 > 0:48:44a lot of guidance from his older road tripper.
0:48:44 > 0:48:48- I am learning from the master himself.- I don't know about that.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50You are my master, you are my guru.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52Steady!
0:48:52 > 0:48:54But when it comes to shopping,
0:48:54 > 0:48:57Philip Serrell is a lover of all things daft and different.
0:48:57 > 0:49:02And it is often the dustier, the better.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Those fit the Serrell bill, don't they?
0:49:04 > 0:49:08Jonathan Pratt prefers the more traditional items
0:49:08 > 0:49:12and has a real penchant for vases.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14Look at that baby!
0:49:14 > 0:49:18At their first auction, Philip's unusual love of oars and axle hubs
0:49:18 > 0:49:22made him a decent profit of £55.
0:49:22 > 0:49:23GAVEL
0:49:23 > 0:49:25There is a man out there with a broken-down train
0:49:25 > 0:49:30and a boat without any oars. You have just made his day.
0:49:30 > 0:49:35Jonathan's three vases didn't exactly storm the auction.
0:49:35 > 0:49:36With loss...
0:49:36 > 0:49:38after loss...
0:49:38 > 0:49:42My hopes and dreams dashed in one fall of the hammer.
0:49:42 > 0:49:46Philip's wacky strategy seems to be working a treat.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49From his original £200, Philip made a profit
0:49:49 > 0:49:53and now has £273.48 to play with.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59Sadly, by playing it safe, Jonathan's £200 has dwindled
0:49:59 > 0:50:06and he only has £161.90 for this leg of the game. Looking serious.
0:50:06 > 0:50:10I'm annoyed with myself for losing money so soon.
0:50:10 > 0:50:12- Can I make a suggestion?- Go on.
0:50:12 > 0:50:17- I would tend to stay away from oriental vases.- Ah, worldly advice.
0:50:17 > 0:50:22This week sees the pair travelling in their 1965 Triumph TR4
0:50:22 > 0:50:26from Cockermouth in Cumbria all the way to Wilmslow.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28Today, they are off to Corbridge,
0:50:28 > 0:50:31with our final destination in Northallerton.
0:50:33 > 0:50:37It's very pretty. It's just so different to all the other places.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40- I am moved.- Have you? - No, I AM moved.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43CHUCKLES I can lend you a tissue, if you like.
0:50:43 > 0:50:47Seen as a jewel in the crown of Northumberland,
0:50:47 > 0:50:52Corbridge grew from the Roman town of Corstopitum,
0:50:52 > 0:50:56a supply town for the troops on Hadrian's Wall.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59Steeped in history since 1827,
0:50:59 > 0:51:02Corbridge was and still is well known
0:51:02 > 0:51:03for quaint shops and boutiques.
0:51:03 > 0:51:08Which is very handy, because our chaps need to shop, shop, shop!
0:51:08 > 0:51:10This looks quite wealthy, JP.
0:51:10 > 0:51:14- I don't like wealthy areas! - No, I think exactly that.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17- Wealthy areas have expensive shops. - Yes.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19Better be prepared to dig deep, then.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22- Good stuff.- Fantastico.- Yeah.
0:51:22 > 0:51:26Right, boys. Off in separate directions, please.
0:51:26 > 0:51:29Philip, you go one way, Jonathan, you go the other.
0:51:31 > 0:51:35- Jonathan?- Yes, nice to meet you. - Hello.- Do you mind if I just...
0:51:35 > 0:51:36Have a browse around.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38Right, Jonathan.
0:51:38 > 0:51:40The auction you are going to is a general sale,
0:51:40 > 0:51:42so please bear that in mind.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44I buy whatever I see.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47Oh, dear. What have we got there?
0:51:47 > 0:51:51This is a copy of a Scottish stoneware chair.
0:51:51 > 0:51:55They made these highly fired glazed garden seats,
0:51:55 > 0:51:59which were made to look like rustic, cobbled-together branches.
0:51:59 > 0:52:03And normally, they are this sort of size.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05I have not seen one like this before, it's quite sweet.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08The downside is that the arms do not match.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10It has been broken, and lost its arm.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12Hence, the price is only £45.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14This could be an object that might be popular.
0:52:14 > 0:52:18But I'm going to put it down, because I don't really like it very much.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21Carry on looking, then.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29Rather pretty, actually. It's my colour, I think.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31Hmm. A matter of opinion!
0:52:31 > 0:52:34Philip is not having any luck
0:52:34 > 0:52:37seeking out a real bargain in his shop.
0:52:37 > 0:52:42- 'So...'- See you in a bit. - 'He makes a sharp exit.'
0:52:42 > 0:52:45To join Jonathan. Matey, like.
0:52:46 > 0:52:51What have I picked up? I did look at the little Scottish pottery chair.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53Oh. You are back at that, are you?
0:52:53 > 0:52:56- Has it got a price on?- It has.
0:52:58 > 0:53:03- 20?- Best price? You wouldn't take 15?- I can't take 15, no. No.- 18?
0:53:03 > 0:53:06- Go on then, yes.- 'That was a rapid change of heart!'
0:53:06 > 0:53:09- 'What a pretty thing.'- Philip has just arrived. I didn't realise.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13- He is coming this way. - Make sure you leave something, JP.
0:53:13 > 0:53:17- I've left you stuff, don't worry. - For a poor unsuspecting auctioneer.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19Who are you kidding, Philip?
0:53:22 > 0:53:24Are you nursing something, JP?
0:53:24 > 0:53:27- I'm starting to model myself on you, Phil.- Get out of here!
0:53:27 > 0:53:28Ha-ha! Right, Jonathan,
0:53:28 > 0:53:33it's time due to settle up for what I think is a chair up your jumper.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35That's it. Now, zip up.
0:53:37 > 0:53:41That's one down. I'm going to leave Phil to it, and pop over the road.
0:53:41 > 0:53:44And Philip is not wasting any time.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47That little ashtray in the bottom, how much is he?
0:53:47 > 0:53:48It has got £78 on it.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51This is by Robert Thompson of Kilburn
0:53:51 > 0:53:53and he was known as Mouseman.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56He was known as Mouseman because when he started working,
0:53:56 > 0:53:59making furniture, he reckoned he was as poor as church mice
0:53:59 > 0:54:03and so his trademark was to put this little mouse carving
0:54:03 > 0:54:07on chairs and everything else he did.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09- What is this, 30 years old? - Probably, yes.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12It is one of the slightly later ones,
0:54:12 > 0:54:14but a lot of people prefer that,
0:54:14 > 0:54:17because that is more accessible to them.
0:54:17 > 0:54:18It is not hundreds of pounds, is it?
0:54:18 > 0:54:21What is the very best you can do on that?
0:54:21 > 0:54:23£50 would be the absolute bottom line.
0:54:23 > 0:54:28While Philip has a think about the ashtray, a Mauchline ware inkwell
0:54:28 > 0:54:30with a jockey hat design has also caught his eye.
0:54:30 > 0:54:31And it is made of wood.
0:54:31 > 0:54:36- Is that...what is that hole for? - I think it would be for a quill pen.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38Northallerton. Yorkshire.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41Yes, that's where the auction is.
0:54:41 > 0:54:42Not too far away from Midland.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46And Midland is a massive racehorse centre where they train racehorses.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48I'm thinking that that little jockey's cap,
0:54:48 > 0:54:51and that hoof, that might do OK there.
0:54:51 > 0:54:56It is hardly Philip Serrell wacky and weird, is it?
0:54:56 > 0:54:59- What's the best you could do it for, for me?- What has it got on it?
0:54:59 > 0:55:01- You've got 75, which... - 50 would be the best.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04- The very best you can do on that is 50? No better at all?- 45?
0:55:07 > 0:55:10I am torn now, between two things.
0:55:10 > 0:55:13If I just bought the Mouseman, could you do the Mouseman for 45?
0:55:13 > 0:55:16- OK. 45.- All right, thank you very much. Let me get some money out.
0:55:16 > 0:55:20There you are, my love. So there is your 45. Thank you.
0:55:20 > 0:55:22What about the jockey inkwell?
0:55:22 > 0:55:26Let me just think about this little chap. What did you say that was?
0:55:26 > 0:55:30- 45 was the absolute best. - Oh, I'm going to go for broke here.
0:55:30 > 0:55:34Two more items bought then, Philip, both wooden.
0:55:34 > 0:55:38Have I put all my eggs in one big wooden basket?
0:55:38 > 0:55:40Oh well, we will find out, won't we?
0:55:40 > 0:55:42We certainly will.
0:55:42 > 0:55:45Jonathan was also unsuccessful in the shop across the road,
0:55:45 > 0:55:49but he is still hiding his last purchase from the curious Philip.
0:55:49 > 0:55:50What have you bought?
0:55:50 > 0:55:54- Just some sandwiches.- Sandwiches? I am feeling a bit peckish.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56Well, you'll have to look at them later.
0:55:56 > 0:55:58- Really?- Yes.
0:55:58 > 0:56:02Paltry buying in Corbridge now over, so back on the road.
0:56:02 > 0:56:07- Sandwiches are in here, are they? - Get off!- You just slapped my knee.
0:56:07 > 0:56:09Nice!
0:56:09 > 0:56:11Both chaps are now heading East
0:56:11 > 0:56:15to the Newcastle upon Tyne suburb of Jesmond
0:56:15 > 0:56:1718 miles away.
0:56:17 > 0:56:21Considered to be one of the more affluent residential suburbs,
0:56:21 > 0:56:22so where better for more buying?
0:56:22 > 0:56:25Jonathan, however, is not stopping here.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28He is off to the theatre, darling.
0:56:28 > 0:56:31But drops Philip off to carry on his spending.
0:56:31 > 0:56:34- Good luck, Philip. - Yes.- I'm off to tread the boards.
0:56:34 > 0:56:37- Enjoy the theatre, dear boy.- Thank you very much.- Bye, drive safely.
0:56:37 > 0:56:38Yeah.
0:56:41 > 0:56:42Hello!
0:56:42 > 0:56:46Hello! Now, this shop doesn't exactly smack
0:56:46 > 0:56:49of the Serrell weird and wacky.
0:56:49 > 0:56:50Does that look familiar?
0:56:50 > 0:56:53Seen anything you like, Philip?
0:56:53 > 0:56:56Well, we've got five Royal Worcester plates.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59And the greatest exponent of painting these flowers
0:56:59 > 0:57:02on Worcester porcelain was a man called Edward Raby.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05And prior to 1900, the Worcester porcelain factory,
0:57:05 > 0:57:08they did not let their painters sign their work. Edward Raby had a bit
0:57:08 > 0:57:12of an ego and he used to work his monogram in, ER, into the foliage.
0:57:12 > 0:57:15So you could pick that up, and look at it for a week,
0:57:15 > 0:57:16and not see a thing.
0:57:16 > 0:57:18And then on the eighth day, lo and behold,
0:57:18 > 0:57:20you would see his monogram ER.
0:57:20 > 0:57:24- When you have found that, it adds £100, doesn't it?- Of course, yes.
0:57:24 > 0:57:27The flowers on this set are in the style
0:57:27 > 0:57:29of an Edward Raby design.
0:57:29 > 0:57:32But sadly, his trademark signature is nowhere to be seen.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35- You've got five. - Yes. An odd number.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38- So, I could buy one of those off you?- You could, that's a good idea.
0:57:38 > 0:57:42- Yeah. And I'm probably doing you a favour.- Of course.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45- Even numbers sell better.- It is a more saleable set.- No, that is true.
0:57:45 > 0:57:48Now, when do you want the sob story about the bad luck
0:57:48 > 0:57:51I have been having lately?
0:57:51 > 0:57:55- Really?- What can you do it for? - They average just over £30 each.
0:57:55 > 0:57:58I think I've go to try and buy that for £20.
0:57:58 > 0:58:00- You can have it for £22.50. - I'm going to buy that one off you.
0:58:00 > 0:58:04Awfully traditional. Are you changing your game-plan, Phil?
0:58:04 > 0:58:07- Thank you.- 'While Philip is off to another shop,'
0:58:07 > 0:58:10Jonathan is heading two miles down the road
0:58:10 > 0:58:16to just outside Newcastle's city walls for a more theatrical affair.
0:58:16 > 0:58:18Newcastle began as a Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall,
0:58:18 > 0:58:21but today it is one of the largest cities in England.
0:58:21 > 0:58:24Situated north of the River Tyne,
0:58:24 > 0:58:28one of its most iconic views is of the seven bridges.
0:58:28 > 0:58:30And the city wonderfully combines
0:58:30 > 0:58:34its industrial heritage with impressive modern architecture.
0:58:36 > 0:58:38The Journal Tyne Theatre,
0:58:38 > 0:58:44first known simply as the Tyne Theatre, opened its doors in 1867.
0:58:44 > 0:58:48One of the region's best-loved entertainment venues,
0:58:48 > 0:58:52and one of the oldest working Victorian theatres in the world.
0:58:52 > 0:58:53It is now looked after
0:58:53 > 0:58:57by the Tyne Theatre and Opera House Preservation Trust
0:58:57 > 0:59:01and their consultant Brian Debnam will show Jonathan around.
0:59:04 > 0:59:07- Hello, Brian. Jonathan Pratt. - Good to see you. Come in.
0:59:07 > 0:59:10First time I've been through a stage door.
0:59:10 > 0:59:15On his arrival, Jonathan is soon following in some famous footsteps.
0:59:15 > 0:59:21- Oscar Wilde lectured here. William Gladstone...- He lectured here? Wow.
0:59:21 > 0:59:24- Sarah Bernhardt.- Oh, yes. Of course.
0:59:24 > 0:59:28All the great nineteenth-century stars. And behind you...
0:59:28 > 0:59:32is a picture of the theatre as it might have been during
0:59:32 > 0:59:37the 1880s, showing how they used to get 3,000 people in this theatre.
0:59:37 > 0:59:41- It seats 1,100 people today, for safety reasons.- But you can see,
0:59:41 > 0:59:45on the top tier there, there are people hanging over the edge of!
0:59:45 > 0:59:49There is a huge amount of standing at the back of each balcony level.
0:59:49 > 0:59:50The Victorians were smaller.
0:59:50 > 0:59:53Obviously not as in love with health and safety as we are.
0:59:53 > 0:59:56I am yet to go in here so this is building it up now.
0:59:56 > 0:59:59I don't think you're going to be disappointed.
0:59:59 > 1:00:02Time to raise the curtain.
1:00:02 > 1:00:05And...there we go.
1:00:05 > 1:00:08Makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
1:00:08 > 1:00:13The impressive, lavishly decorated auditorium within this Grade 1
1:00:13 > 1:00:18listed building was in fact the social hub for the local community.
1:00:18 > 1:00:20They built the theatre outside the city walls
1:00:20 > 1:00:24so that they did not need a licence from the city council.
1:00:24 > 1:00:27Built out here among the pubs and whorehouses,
1:00:27 > 1:00:31in the rough area of town. It has always been a people's theatre.
1:00:31 > 1:00:34The Theatre Royal was where the posh people went.
1:00:34 > 1:00:37The theatre still remains very much in its original condition
1:00:37 > 1:00:41despite its conversion into a cinema after the Second World War.
1:00:41 > 1:00:44In the '50s and '60s, the theatre went bad,
1:00:44 > 1:00:46there was more competition and they
1:00:46 > 1:00:50showed sleazy movies here. Which wouldn't be naughty at all, today.
1:00:50 > 1:00:54When the building reverted back to its roots as a theatre
1:00:54 > 1:00:57in the mid-1970s, new stars were born here.
1:00:57 > 1:01:00In the 1980s, it was a famous amateur theatre,
1:01:00 > 1:01:03with big amateur musicals of the stage.
1:01:03 > 1:01:06People like Ant and Dec started their career here
1:01:06 > 1:01:08playing munchkins in The Wizard of Oz.
1:01:08 > 1:01:13Perhaps it is Jonathan's time to tread the boards.
1:01:13 > 1:01:16I'm imagining myself on my opening night
1:01:16 > 1:01:18and I feel quite nervous, actually.
1:01:18 > 1:01:21I will leave you now in the middle of the stage
1:01:21 > 1:01:25with that auditorium in front of you for your own private performance.
1:01:25 > 1:01:31Oh! To be, or not to be. That is the question.
1:01:31 > 1:01:32GROANS
1:01:32 > 1:01:35Oh dear. I think you're better off backstage, mate.
1:01:35 > 1:01:39So, it's time to get a real sense of how Victorian theatres were run.
1:01:39 > 1:01:42Jonathan is led down into the belly of the theatre,
1:01:42 > 1:01:47where the original wooden stage machinery is still housed.
1:01:47 > 1:01:50What this does, is it enables the stage above
1:01:50 > 1:01:54to stage spectacular and extraordinary shows.
1:01:54 > 1:01:58What you do is you pull back on this thing here.
1:01:58 > 1:02:00- It drops the stage surface.- Right.
1:02:00 > 1:02:04You then pull this back quite violently across here,
1:02:04 > 1:02:07taking three or four guys to do so.
1:02:07 > 1:02:11And then wind this up and it has got a scene on it,
1:02:11 > 1:02:16or it had horses on it, or it had people on it, a whole chorus.
1:02:16 > 1:02:19- They all go up.- Very clever. - The similarity is with a ship.
1:02:19 > 1:02:22- The people used to work here were often sailors.- I was going to ask.
1:02:22 > 1:02:24Because this is like calling the sail.
1:02:24 > 1:02:27Sadly, despite still being in working condition,
1:02:27 > 1:02:30this original under-stage contraption
1:02:30 > 1:02:32is no longer licensed for use.
1:02:32 > 1:02:36As I don't think we will be seeing Jonathan's name up in lights
1:02:36 > 1:02:40any time soon, best he gets back to the day job, eh?
1:02:41 > 1:02:44And while Jonathan may not be exactly a theatre star,
1:02:44 > 1:02:49back up in Jesmond, Philip may be about to shine in his next shop.
1:02:49 > 1:02:50- Hiya.- Hello there.
1:02:50 > 1:02:53Is it all right if I have a wander round, please?
1:02:53 > 1:02:55Yep. Not a problem.
1:02:57 > 1:03:00This place is much more your style, Philip.
1:03:00 > 1:03:02Rather random, eh?
1:03:02 > 1:03:05You've got a rack of woodworking tools around, I've noticed.
1:03:05 > 1:03:09Yes, we've got a few lying around. Do you want us to go and get some?
1:03:09 > 1:03:12Can we put all of them on there? Can I have a look at the whole lot?
1:03:12 > 1:03:18The whole lot actually involves digging them out of the basement.
1:03:18 > 1:03:21- They're over here. - Will you have a look at those!
1:03:21 > 1:03:23That's Geordie dust, you know.
1:03:23 > 1:03:24Geordie dust!
1:03:24 > 1:03:28- Oh! The glamour.- They're moulding planes, aren't they?- Yeah.
1:03:28 > 1:03:31So you'd get a piece of wood like that,
1:03:31 > 1:03:34and you'd run that down there, wouldn't you? And that...
1:03:34 > 1:03:36It would be for like a skirting board.
1:03:36 > 1:03:41And that there is the shape that you are actually going to mould.
1:03:41 > 1:03:43I would guess they're somewhere
1:03:43 > 1:03:45- between 1890 and 1920, aren't they?- Yeah.
1:03:45 > 1:03:47How many woodworking tools have you?
1:03:47 > 1:03:49Probably about 15.
1:03:49 > 1:03:51Are you a gambling man?
1:03:51 > 1:03:54- I'm definitely a gambling man. - I'll make an offer for the lot.
1:03:54 > 1:03:55I've got to be looking at
1:03:55 > 1:03:59somewhere between 20 and 30 quid to buy. Is that ideal?
1:03:59 > 1:04:01I think we could do a deal on that.
1:04:01 > 1:04:03Let's take them all upstairs.
1:04:03 > 1:04:07The chaps head back into daylight so Philip can assess
1:04:07 > 1:04:11all the woodworking tools, including the rather dusty moulding planes.
1:04:11 > 1:04:13I'd like to buy the planes for 25 quid.
1:04:13 > 1:04:15It's been a hard week.
1:04:15 > 1:04:17Good man! Get in there.
1:04:17 > 1:04:21Is there somewhere I could go and give these a bit of a wipe over?
1:04:21 > 1:04:24I'll bring this one. I can manage this one.
1:04:24 > 1:04:27And the executive can show the way.
1:04:27 > 1:04:31Now, Philip's not a man afraid to get his hands dirty,
1:04:31 > 1:04:33but he's roped in some helpers.
1:04:33 > 1:04:35No woman allowed. Men-only club.
1:04:35 > 1:04:38Stop messing around! Get on with it.
1:04:38 > 1:04:41You never see Fiona Bruce doing this, you?
1:04:41 > 1:04:44Not in a gentlemen's lavatory, you don't.
1:04:44 > 1:04:47Fantastic, chaps. Those look all right, don't they?
1:04:47 > 1:04:49There's 30 quid. I want £5 change
1:04:49 > 1:04:52and another fiver for cleaning the wretched things.
1:04:52 > 1:04:54- Thank you so much. - I'm glad we could do business.
1:04:54 > 1:04:57If we put them down there, I'll wait for JP to come.
1:04:57 > 1:05:00- Right.- Good to see you.- So, with the washing-up done in Shiners,
1:05:00 > 1:05:03it's been a successful day of shopping.
1:05:03 > 1:05:06Time for both Philip and Jonathan to get some rest,
1:05:06 > 1:05:10and let's hope tomorrow proves as fruitful.
1:05:10 > 1:05:12It's the start of a new day
1:05:12 > 1:05:15and more buying beckons.
1:05:17 > 1:05:21Yesterday, Phillip Serrell got into the swing of things quite quickly
1:05:21 > 1:05:23and spent £137.50 on the Mouseman ashtray,
1:05:23 > 1:05:26the Mauchline Ware inkwell,
1:05:26 > 1:05:28the Royal Worcester plate,
1:05:28 > 1:05:31and a box of old woodworking tools.
1:05:31 > 1:05:36Ha! That leaves £135.98 for his second day of shopping.
1:05:36 > 1:05:40Jonathan Pratt spent - wait for it -
1:05:40 > 1:05:44a whole £18 on the miniature pottery chair,
1:05:44 > 1:05:47leaving him £143.90 for today.
1:05:47 > 1:05:48Skinflint.
1:05:48 > 1:05:52But there's a problem for Jonathan in Jesmond!
1:05:54 > 1:05:58His one and only item is broken!
1:05:58 > 1:06:00Hi there. I hope you can help me.
1:06:00 > 1:06:07Something I bought yesterday was this little Scottish stoneware seat.
1:06:07 > 1:06:10The arm has been knocked off whilst being carried around.
1:06:10 > 1:06:11It just needs to be glued back on.
1:06:11 > 1:06:14That shouldn't be a problem. Yep.
1:06:14 > 1:06:17I've actually got a tube of glue open.
1:06:17 > 1:06:19There we go. Good as new.
1:06:19 > 1:06:22You're an absolute life-saver. Thank you very much.
1:06:22 > 1:06:25Oh, the kindness of strangers.
1:06:25 > 1:06:26Meanwhile, with four items,
1:06:26 > 1:06:30Philip's cruising to Broad Chare near Newcastle's Quayside
1:06:30 > 1:06:33for a glimpse into the area's maritime history.
1:06:33 > 1:06:36I know JP's only bought one item,
1:06:36 > 1:06:41and the consequence of that is, I can take it fairly easy today.
1:06:42 > 1:06:45The River Tyne was once a hive of activity
1:06:45 > 1:06:47vital to the area's wealth,
1:06:47 > 1:06:51but nowadays the volume of trade there is much reduced.
1:06:51 > 1:06:54At the start of the 16th century, a group of seafarers
1:06:54 > 1:06:57formed a charitable guild on Newcastle's Quayside
1:06:57 > 1:07:00to support the town's growing maritime community
1:07:00 > 1:07:03and improve the safety of navigation.
1:07:07 > 1:07:12The Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Trinity House formally began in 1505.
1:07:12 > 1:07:14Its members are called brethren
1:07:14 > 1:07:17and are largely serving or retired master mariners,
1:07:17 > 1:07:19sea captains to you and me.
1:07:19 > 1:07:21Philip's come to their headquarters
1:07:21 > 1:07:23where Captain Healy, the deputy master,
1:07:23 > 1:07:27will show him some exceptional maritime artefacts.
1:07:27 > 1:07:29All aboard!
1:07:30 > 1:07:33- Morning.- Hello! - Captain Healy, how are you?
1:07:33 > 1:07:35Fine, thanks, and yourself?
1:07:35 > 1:07:37- This is a hidden gem, isn't it?- It is, yes.
1:07:37 > 1:07:39One thing I do know
1:07:39 > 1:07:43is that you've got a fabulous collection
1:07:43 > 1:07:45of marine items around here, haven't you?
1:07:45 > 1:07:50Yes. Not unnatural, when you think we've been here for over 500 years,
1:07:50 > 1:07:54and the brethren over history have brought things back to this house,
1:07:54 > 1:07:57and we're lucky enough to still have a lot of them here
1:07:57 > 1:08:00and be the custodians of what is essentially a living history.
1:08:00 > 1:08:03- Can I have a look at them? - Of course. Let's go.- Thank you.
1:08:03 > 1:08:07As visits to Trinity House are strictly by appointment only,
1:08:07 > 1:08:10this is a rare treat for Philip.
1:08:10 > 1:08:13So this, Philip, is the banqueting hall.
1:08:13 > 1:08:15Ah, that's a jaw-dropping room, isn't it?
1:08:15 > 1:08:18- Dates from 1721.- It's fantastic!
1:08:18 > 1:08:22This is what we know as King Charles' chair.
1:08:22 > 1:08:24King Charles was in Newcastle several times,
1:08:24 > 1:08:28the city being a royalist stronghold at the time of the Civil War.
1:08:28 > 1:08:32It's said that because Charles was fairly short in stature,
1:08:32 > 1:08:35this chair was built deliberately high,
1:08:35 > 1:08:37so that when he was seated around a table,
1:08:37 > 1:08:40his eyeline would be the same as that of other people.
1:08:40 > 1:08:43So that's our principal motto of the house,
1:08:43 > 1:08:44Deus Dabit Vela. God will give sail.
1:08:44 > 1:08:49It alludes to the ship without sail in the top of the crest.
1:08:49 > 1:08:51The history in that is just unbelievable.
1:08:51 > 1:08:53Show me more, please, please!
1:08:53 > 1:08:56OK, so we're now going into the boardroom.
1:08:58 > 1:09:00That really is spectacular.
1:09:00 > 1:09:03Something has instantly caught Philip's eye.
1:09:03 > 1:09:05A model of a ship, which was built
1:09:05 > 1:09:08during the Napoleonic War in 1805
1:09:08 > 1:09:11by sailors held as prisoners of war in Britain,
1:09:11 > 1:09:12either ashore
1:09:12 > 1:09:14or in the hulks of a moored ship.
1:09:16 > 1:09:20You're prisoners, you're living in horrible conditions,
1:09:20 > 1:09:22you're working by candlelight,
1:09:22 > 1:09:24you've first got to make the tools to fashion this.
1:09:24 > 1:09:27- That's not the work of one man, then?- Most likely not, no.
1:09:27 > 1:09:30It's a team of sailors.
1:09:30 > 1:09:33- And made for a very specific purpose. - Which was?
1:09:33 > 1:09:36To buy their freedom and their repatriation.
1:09:36 > 1:09:40The garrison officers in charge of the imprisoned sailors
1:09:40 > 1:09:42would strike deals with the prisoners of war.
1:09:42 > 1:09:46In exchange for a highly-skilled custom-made model like this,
1:09:46 > 1:09:50their freedom and safe return home would be granted.
1:09:51 > 1:09:53- It's not ivory, is it?- No, it's not.
1:09:53 > 1:09:56When you think, prisoners of war,
1:09:56 > 1:10:00what would they have had access to, to make something like this?
1:10:00 > 1:10:02Probably what they ate, something like that.
1:10:02 > 1:10:05Yes, it's literally that. It's beef and mutton bone.
1:10:05 > 1:10:08It's essentially a whole ship-building exercise in miniature.
1:10:08 > 1:10:11It's the biggest prisoner-of-war ship I've seen.
1:10:11 > 1:10:14It's certainly one of the largest in existence.
1:10:14 > 1:10:15You have to drag me away from here.
1:10:15 > 1:10:18Let me show you something totally different to this.
1:10:18 > 1:10:21Their next stop - the master's room,
1:10:21 > 1:10:25the private headquarters of the brethren in Trinity house,
1:10:25 > 1:10:27which houses their wonderful library.
1:10:27 > 1:10:29..In particular here,
1:10:29 > 1:10:32books that document the voyages of exploration,
1:10:32 > 1:10:36the Poles, Australasia, the Northwest Passage.
1:10:36 > 1:10:38- Can I show you something else in the library?- Yeah.
1:10:38 > 1:10:41It's an asymmetrical bookcase, it's blown glass,
1:10:41 > 1:10:43it's full of wonderful treasures,
1:10:43 > 1:10:47but do you perhaps notice anything at this end that's a little bit unusual?
1:10:47 > 1:10:50Those books look a lot darker. But otherwise...
1:10:50 > 1:10:53Would you like to get closer and perhaps have a look at them?
1:10:57 > 1:10:59Oh, my life! So these, are they painted?
1:10:59 > 1:11:01They're painted, yes.
1:11:05 > 1:11:08Well, there's a first. Philip, speechless.
1:11:08 > 1:11:10It's like being in a ship, isn't it?
1:11:10 > 1:11:15The secret doorway leads to the oldest part of Trinity House.
1:11:15 > 1:11:16The chapel.
1:11:16 > 1:11:194th January, 1505, the day we came into being,
1:11:19 > 1:11:22an order was signed for the building of the chapel.
1:11:22 > 1:11:26This has been a place of worship since 1505
1:11:26 > 1:11:28and is still regularly used.
1:11:28 > 1:11:33Going back almost five centuries, Newcastle's Trinity House
1:11:33 > 1:11:36is still very much a functioning organisation.
1:11:36 > 1:11:40Captain Healy, I have had one of the best days. It's been...
1:11:40 > 1:11:42well, thank you.
1:11:42 > 1:11:47Having been bowled over by this well-kept maritime secret,
1:11:47 > 1:11:48sadly, Philip has to leave.
1:11:48 > 1:11:52How's Jonathan getting on in Jesmond, though?
1:12:01 > 1:12:05With only one wobbly item, I think he needs a helping hand. Hello.
1:12:05 > 1:12:09I'm looking for a sort of little knickknacks, little bits and pieces.
1:12:09 > 1:12:13- Has anything caught your eye so far? - There's a little table.
1:12:13 > 1:12:16- Yes, we can look at that.- Sure. - I can show you that.
1:12:18 > 1:12:23- This little table here?- I mean, it's not the most stable, admittedly.- No.
1:12:23 > 1:12:27- I just thought, it's made of mahogany.- Uh-huh.
1:12:27 > 1:12:30It's got a little bit of age, it's early 20th century.
1:12:30 > 1:12:33- It's like making stuff when you're children.- Yeah.
1:12:33 > 1:12:34- It's quite fun.- It is.
1:12:34 > 1:12:37You have the princely sum of £25 on there.
1:12:37 > 1:12:41And I'm wondering how much...how much I might be able to persuade you?
1:12:41 > 1:12:44I'm Scottish. I don't discount that easily and it's discounted.
1:12:44 > 1:12:48- If you're Scottish, you paid very little money for it.- Cheeky!
1:12:48 > 1:12:50- But it's working.- Let's go upwards from where you start.
1:12:50 > 1:12:53- Make me an offer.- Steady.
1:12:55 > 1:12:56I'm going to start low
1:12:56 > 1:12:59- and then we can haggle upwards, OK? £12.50.- £12.50?
1:12:59 > 1:13:02- That's ridiculous. Come on, higher. - I wouldn't want to go as far as £20,
1:13:02 > 1:13:04so, somewhere under £20.
1:13:04 > 1:13:06Have a think about it.
1:13:06 > 1:13:08Mm. I'd keep looking, if I were you, boy.
1:13:08 > 1:13:10- Oil of a watermill.- Uh-huh.
1:13:10 > 1:13:14- It says £35. Would you take an offer on that?- I certainly would.
1:13:14 > 1:13:18I like buying pictures. They can always surprise you.
1:13:18 > 1:13:19Early 20th century.
1:13:19 > 1:13:21It's not badly painted.
1:13:21 > 1:13:22It needs a clean.
1:13:22 > 1:13:25- Yes.- When it's cleaned, the blue of the sky will come out.
1:13:25 > 1:13:28So it's like a little discovery.
1:13:28 > 1:13:31The person that buys it, cleans it, see how much it changes it.
1:13:31 > 1:13:33I'd only want to pay £15 for it.
1:13:33 > 1:13:37Right, put your best offers on the table, then.
1:13:37 > 1:13:40I'll do the painting for... 17.
1:13:40 > 1:13:41I will...
1:13:43 > 1:13:45Come on.
1:13:46 > 1:13:49- Take the picture.- Right.
1:13:49 > 1:13:52And leave the table. As much as it pains me.
1:13:52 > 1:13:55- I think you're making a mistake. - I know, of course you do.
1:13:55 > 1:13:57I'll do it for 15.
1:13:59 > 1:14:03- Go on then.- Deal. Fantastic, thank you.
1:14:03 > 1:14:07Not bad. Her Scottish charms sold you two more items.
1:14:07 > 1:14:09Excellent, bye bye.
1:14:10 > 1:14:12Time for the chaps to get back on the road together
1:14:12 > 1:14:14and head for more buying.
1:14:14 > 1:14:17But of a different kind.
1:14:17 > 1:14:18So, reunited,
1:14:18 > 1:14:23Philip and Jonathan are heading to a market in Tynemouth.
1:14:23 > 1:14:25- What I haven't told you, Phil...- Yep.
1:14:25 > 1:14:28..is the market opens at 10 o'clock in the morning
1:14:28 > 1:14:31and it finishes at four o'clock.
1:14:31 > 1:14:34- What time's it now?- It's about two. - We'd better get on with it.
1:14:34 > 1:14:36THEY LAUGH
1:14:36 > 1:14:39Fingers crossed, there's something decent left for you to buy.
1:14:39 > 1:14:41Let's hope it's an undercover market, too.
1:14:42 > 1:14:47- This is just wet. - Yeah, let's get inside. Come on.
1:14:47 > 1:14:50In fact, today's market is actually being held
1:14:50 > 1:14:53in the Victorian Tynemouth railway station
1:14:53 > 1:14:55and stalls here sell everything from food and plants,
1:14:55 > 1:14:57to valuable antiques.
1:15:00 > 1:15:01Good luck.
1:15:02 > 1:15:06The boys split up. So with only two hours of buying left,
1:15:06 > 1:15:10the pressure's on. Go get those real antique bargains, Jonathan.
1:15:10 > 1:15:12Hello.
1:15:12 > 1:15:14What is he doing?
1:15:14 > 1:15:17Rather sweet with little cut buckles.
1:15:17 > 1:15:19Victorian.
1:15:19 > 1:15:23You wouldn't take, you know... £25 or something for them?
1:15:23 > 1:15:26No, I paid more than that for them.
1:15:26 > 1:15:28I think I'll say no to that chap.
1:15:32 > 1:15:35- You wouldn't sell me a box of toy cars, would you?- Absolutely.
1:15:35 > 1:15:37- For?- £10?
1:15:37 > 1:15:38Call it a fiver.
1:15:38 > 1:15:41Call it seven and you've got a deal.
1:15:42 > 1:15:44- Call it six.- OK.
1:15:44 > 1:15:45JONATHAN LAUGHS
1:15:45 > 1:15:47Thank you very much. Brilliant.
1:15:47 > 1:15:51OK, I suppose there is a market for toy collecting.
1:15:51 > 1:15:55Philip's also on the prowl for a bargain.
1:15:55 > 1:15:57Love those clogs.
1:15:57 > 1:15:58They look familiar.
1:15:58 > 1:16:02- How old are they? - Aren't they Victorian?
1:16:02 > 1:16:04They've actually been warn.
1:16:04 > 1:16:07They've been kitted out with things rubbing up against the heel
1:16:07 > 1:16:10- and they're shod and everything. - They're beautiful.
1:16:10 > 1:16:12I'll have them if you sell them for 20 quid.
1:16:12 > 1:16:14I can't because I paid 30 for them.
1:16:14 > 1:16:15- I'll be back in a minute.- Right, OK.
1:16:15 > 1:16:18Might try to buy them off you for your money back,
1:16:18 > 1:16:19but we'll see how we get on.
1:16:28 > 1:16:31With nothing else catching his eye,
1:16:31 > 1:16:34Philip's mind is still on those clogs
1:16:34 > 1:16:37and he's going to offer £30 for them. You watch.
1:16:37 > 1:16:40I've got to be quick, I've got a train to catch.
1:16:40 > 1:16:42- Look, there you are.- OK.- 30 quid.
1:16:42 > 1:16:45- All right.- I love you, you're an angel.
1:16:45 > 1:16:50- Yes.- You are, you're ever so kind. They're fantastic. I love those.
1:16:50 > 1:16:53- Enjoy. They're gorgeous.- Who would buy these? A doll collector?
1:16:53 > 1:16:56No, just, sort of, women who've got, sort of, dresses
1:16:56 > 1:16:58and they get little bits to put on.
1:16:58 > 1:17:01Can I just say, I've not bought these because I collect dresses,
1:17:01 > 1:17:02I have no dresses in my wardrobe.
1:17:02 > 1:17:06Huh, the gentleman doth protest too much, methinks.
1:17:06 > 1:17:09- Thank you my love, you're an angel. - Enjoy your day.
1:17:09 > 1:17:12Jonathan will be mad that he's bagged those.
1:17:12 > 1:17:14What's he up to, anyway?
1:17:14 > 1:17:16Hornsea dog.
1:17:16 > 1:17:18- Really?- Two quid.
1:17:20 > 1:17:22- Go on then.- Hey! There we go.
1:17:22 > 1:17:24JONATHAN LAUGHS
1:17:24 > 1:17:28There you go. Thank you very much.
1:17:28 > 1:17:29Five items bought!
1:17:29 > 1:17:33And I've spent about, how much, 60 quid. Get in there!
1:17:33 > 1:17:36This wasn't exactly the kind of buying I had in mind.
1:17:36 > 1:17:38Dear, oh, dear.
1:17:38 > 1:17:41I quite like this pair here, to be honest.
1:17:41 > 1:17:46A pair of decanters, blown glass, with little...
1:17:46 > 1:17:50a nice rib declaration on it. People don't use these things like they used to.
1:17:50 > 1:17:55- 10 each.- A tenner each? - Yeah, and that's a bargain.
1:17:55 > 1:17:56I'll be generous.
1:17:56 > 1:17:58- Eight pounds.- For each.
1:17:58 > 1:17:59No, for the two.
1:17:59 > 1:18:00SELLER LAUGHS
1:18:00 > 1:18:05I'll do 15 for the pair. Just because you're...
1:18:05 > 1:18:06you're one of the boys.
1:18:06 > 1:18:08Do you know what?
1:18:08 > 1:18:10I'm on fire.
1:18:10 > 1:18:11If you say so.
1:18:11 > 1:18:1415 quid. Thank you very much. OK.
1:18:14 > 1:18:16- That's it.- There we go.
1:18:16 > 1:18:19At last, shopping complete, it's time for the boys
1:18:19 > 1:18:23to head back to the warmth and dry to show off their buys.
1:18:25 > 1:18:28Look this. Bit of quality merchandise.
1:18:28 > 1:18:32- There we go, look at that. - It's a little ply table, isn't it?
1:18:32 > 1:18:35- It's got a mahogany veneer on it, though.- Yeah.
1:18:35 > 1:18:38- It could be as late as the 1950s. - what did you pay for that?
1:18:38 > 1:18:42- I paid £15.- Well, that's all right, really.
1:18:42 > 1:18:45Well, it's my turn now, and out of all the things I've bought,
1:18:45 > 1:18:47this is just a bit dull, really.
1:18:47 > 1:18:49You're not really selling it to us.
1:18:49 > 1:18:51I bought it from a really nice antiques shop
1:18:51 > 1:18:55and the guy got five of these, Royal Worcester plates,
1:18:55 > 1:18:57and I pointed out to him that five wasn't really a set.
1:18:57 > 1:19:00And he'd probably do better selling them as two pairs,
1:19:00 > 1:19:03- leaving him with one over. - That's very sensible advice.
1:19:03 > 1:19:07I don't know how we arrived at the price, but it was £22.50.
1:19:07 > 1:19:10I think that is probably worth more or less what you paid for it,
1:19:10 > 1:19:14- but there's room for a little improvement maybe.- OK, what's next?
1:19:14 > 1:19:16- That little chap there.- I like that.
1:19:16 > 1:19:20- Stoneware Scottish copy of a garden seat.- That is perfect.
1:19:20 > 1:19:22I think that could be £80 to £120.
1:19:22 > 1:19:24Sadly, it's NOT perfect.
1:19:24 > 1:19:26It has got a bit of damage to it.
1:19:26 > 1:19:29- When have you seen one of these? - Well, I haven't.- I paid 18.
1:19:29 > 1:19:31Next.
1:19:31 > 1:19:33A box of planes.
1:19:33 > 1:19:37- And there are 17 ordinary moulding planes.- Uh-huh.
1:19:37 > 1:19:41There's three of these sort of parallel planes.
1:19:41 > 1:19:45- And this one, which is a similar router.- Some are quite collectable.
1:19:45 > 1:19:47The more complicated planes are the most collectable.
1:19:47 > 1:19:49They cost me £25.
1:19:49 > 1:19:52Possibly perfect for a country auction.
1:19:52 > 1:19:56- I've bought...- A bag of apples.
1:19:56 > 1:19:59- A little box of toys.- Right, fine.
1:19:59 > 1:20:02I gave him six quid for the lot. I was on a roll.
1:20:02 > 1:20:04- That to me was the one that made it.- Yeah.
1:20:04 > 1:20:07You know, I mean he might only be worth £2 or £3.
1:20:07 > 1:20:10- That's worth a tenner on its own. - It might be.- Fingers crossed.
1:20:10 > 1:20:13- Over to you, boy. - I bought this little inkwell
1:20:13 > 1:20:16and I've no idea what it's worth.
1:20:16 > 1:20:19And it's a real gamble for me in that it's a jockey's cap,
1:20:19 > 1:20:23- horse's hoof.- That is fun.- Does it for somebody who's into horses.
1:20:23 > 1:20:25JP, what's next?
1:20:25 > 1:20:28Ah, what's that? That's 1900, 1910, furnishing oil pointing.
1:20:28 > 1:20:33I thought it was quite charming and I paid £17 for it.
1:20:33 > 1:20:34- Happy?- Yeah.
1:20:34 > 1:20:37As long as Philip's happy, that's the main thing.
1:20:37 > 1:20:39Over to you.
1:20:39 > 1:20:43I sort of brought this specifically for the auction in mind, really.
1:20:43 > 1:20:45I paid £45 for it.
1:20:45 > 1:20:50And I think in the sale, the worst it would do is lose me
1:20:50 > 1:20:54a fiver and the best it might do is make me 25 quid.
1:20:54 > 1:20:57- JP, last lot.- OK. This pair of decanters.
1:20:57 > 1:21:00- Can I just make one observation? - Go on.- They're not a pair.
1:21:00 > 1:21:01It doesn't matter.
1:21:01 > 1:21:03They're in perfect condition, Philip.
1:21:03 > 1:21:05This is a minor technicality.
1:21:05 > 1:21:08And, bulking the lot up, a lovely figure of a terrier.
1:21:08 > 1:21:11JP, how much did you pay for that lot?
1:21:11 > 1:21:15- If I told you I paid £40 for them, you'd think...?- You're lying.- Yes.
1:21:15 > 1:21:18- If I told you I paid £20 for the lot? - You're still lying.
1:21:18 > 1:21:23- I paid £15 for these two.- You're still lying.- And a couple of quid.
1:21:23 > 1:21:25You paid 17? Do you know what I'd do if I were you?
1:21:25 > 1:21:27- Are you going to offer them as one lot?- Yes.
1:21:27 > 1:21:31- I'd chuck that in the bin, save embarrassing yourself. - Thanks, Phil.
1:21:31 > 1:21:34Don't let him discourage you, Jonathan.
1:21:34 > 1:21:36JP, I thought these were lovely.
1:21:36 > 1:21:39Oh, my word!
1:21:39 > 1:21:41Yep, it's the clogs YOU wanted.
1:21:41 > 1:21:43I thought those were lovely.
1:21:43 > 1:21:47I thought they were lovely, too. But I thought they were expensive.
1:21:47 > 1:21:50- 50 quid?- Yeah. So I put them down. I wanted to give her 25, 30.
1:21:50 > 1:21:53- That's what I gave her. - Did you?- 30 quid.
1:21:53 > 1:21:56For goodness' sake! I offered her that much.
1:21:57 > 1:21:58SMASHES CLOG
1:21:59 > 1:22:03- Sorry, Phil. - That was nasty, wasn't it?
1:22:05 > 1:22:08I think these chaps are tired.
1:22:08 > 1:22:09Anyway, moving on,
1:22:09 > 1:22:14what did the boys have to say about each other's items in private?
1:22:14 > 1:22:17I think this is really, really interesting now
1:22:17 > 1:22:21because JP, he's gone out there, and he's spent no money,
1:22:21 > 1:22:22but he's disciplined himself,
1:22:22 > 1:22:26not necessarily to buy his taste or what he likes,
1:22:26 > 1:22:29but he's got a real plan and strategy.
1:22:29 > 1:22:32I don't know if it'll work, but that's what he's set out to do.
1:22:32 > 1:22:34The chair, the little chair,
1:22:34 > 1:22:36I think makes a really interesting lot.
1:22:36 > 1:22:39And if he hits the right market, he could do well with it.
1:22:39 > 1:22:41What about the clogs, Jonathan?
1:22:41 > 1:22:44- To be honest, I don't really want to talk about the shoes.- Go on.
1:22:46 > 1:22:49Well, you know, I get asked to go around and soften up the clients
1:22:49 > 1:22:52and then he goes on and takes the stuff afterwards.
1:22:52 > 1:22:55I am annoyed, absolutely. She should have said, "You can't have them."
1:22:55 > 1:22:56Oh, Lord.
1:22:56 > 1:22:59On this leg of their road trip, the pair have travelled
1:22:59 > 1:23:03from Corbridge to Newcastle upon Tyne, stopping in the suburb
1:23:03 > 1:23:08of Jesmond, the city centre Broad Chare and Tynemouth.
1:23:08 > 1:23:12Their last stop is the auction in the town of Northallerton.
1:23:12 > 1:23:15Trailing behind, just how is Jonathan feeling?
1:23:15 > 1:23:21You know, I'm sort of flailing around like an amateur. I need some results.
1:23:21 > 1:23:25Set between two national parks, Northallerton,
1:23:25 > 1:23:27the county town of North Yorkshire,
1:23:27 > 1:23:31is the largest market town in the district.
1:23:31 > 1:23:34Northallerton Auctions Ltd are a long established firm
1:23:34 > 1:23:37holding livestock markets and antique sales.
1:23:37 > 1:23:39Let's hear what auctioneer Tim Pennington
1:23:39 > 1:23:42makes of what our experts have entered.
1:23:42 > 1:23:46I think the items the guys have bought are very good.
1:23:46 > 1:23:49The most pertinent one is the Mouseman ashtray,
1:23:49 > 1:23:50which is very, very local to here.
1:23:50 > 1:23:54I think the Scottish chair is an unusual item.
1:23:54 > 1:23:58I've seen larger versions of it, but not a smaller version like that,
1:23:58 > 1:24:02and I think possibly the damage and the repair may well
1:24:02 > 1:24:04cap its value.
1:24:04 > 1:24:08Let's jog our memories on what each expert has spent.
1:24:08 > 1:24:12Philip bought five lots, totalling £167.50.
1:24:12 > 1:24:17And Jonathan parted with only £73 for his five lots.
1:24:19 > 1:24:21Settle down, everyone. It's auction time.
1:24:21 > 1:24:23- Here we go, here we go.- Crikey.
1:24:23 > 1:24:28First up, Philip's Royal Worcester blush ivory plate.
1:24:28 > 1:24:29Start me £20, straight in.
1:24:29 > 1:24:3310 bid, £10 only bid. 10 bid all out.
1:24:33 > 1:24:36Little money for a good bit of Royal Worcester.
1:24:36 > 1:24:42At 10 only bid, 12 off the rail, at £12, 12, 12, selling at 12.
1:24:42 > 1:24:45That's done well, then.
1:24:46 > 1:24:51Whoopsy! That supposedly safe buy hasn't paid off.
1:24:52 > 1:24:56Now for Jonathan's early 20th century painting of a mill.
1:24:56 > 1:24:59Start me £50 for it straight in. 50? 30?
1:24:59 > 1:25:03Well, 20, for a start. 10 bid...
1:25:03 > 1:25:05You've got people there.
1:25:05 > 1:25:0715... Keep going, keep going.
1:25:07 > 1:25:11At 15, 18 bid, little money at 18.
1:25:11 > 1:25:17Only bid all out in the ring now. At 18. At 18 bid, at £18.
1:25:17 > 1:25:18And selling at 18.
1:25:18 > 1:25:22I have worked it out, you know, that the less he sells stuff for,
1:25:22 > 1:25:25the less commission you have to pay. That is the one bonus.
1:25:25 > 1:25:30Ooh! After commissions deducted, that's not even a profit.
1:25:30 > 1:25:35Let's hope Philip's box of woodworking tools serve him well.
1:25:35 > 1:25:39- 30 bid. At £30.- A fiver a plane.
1:25:39 > 1:25:4250, 55, all out in the ring.
1:25:42 > 1:25:4760, 70, 70 bid? I'll take five. At 70 bid.
1:25:47 > 1:25:51Only 70 bid, £70 and selling at 70.
1:25:51 > 1:25:54- That's a bit of a relief. - Good man, well done.
1:25:54 > 1:25:55A classic Serrell.
1:25:55 > 1:25:59Dusty lot turned him in a handsome profit.
1:25:59 > 1:26:00Another of Philip's items,
1:26:00 > 1:26:04the Mauchline Ware horse hoof and jockey cap inkwell.
1:26:04 > 1:26:08Quite a bit of interest in this. £40 for a straight in? 30 bid. £30.
1:26:08 > 1:26:11See, that's a result.
1:26:11 > 1:26:1658. 50. All out in the ring now. 55.
1:26:16 > 1:26:1960, 65, 65 with me.
1:26:19 > 1:26:21I'll definitely take that.
1:26:21 > 1:26:23Are you all done and finished at 65?
1:26:25 > 1:26:27Ah, Philip.
1:26:27 > 1:26:31- You're good at this, aren't you? - No, lucky.
1:26:31 > 1:26:32Lucky, lucky, lucky.
1:26:32 > 1:26:36Well, that trotted out at the auction, didn't it?
1:26:37 > 1:26:41Next is Jonathan's mahogany plywood table.
1:26:41 > 1:26:44The occasional table. Where will you start me? £5?
1:26:44 > 1:26:495, 10, 15, 20, 20 with me on the rail.
1:26:49 > 1:26:50Flabbergasted.
1:26:50 > 1:26:53I'm going to cry because it's more than my Worcester plate.
1:26:53 > 1:26:56At £20 only bid at 20, and selling at 20.
1:26:59 > 1:27:03And he's elated with his first decent-ish profit.
1:27:03 > 1:27:07- I've made profit overall so far. - Don't rub it in.
1:27:08 > 1:27:13Up now is the Mouseman ashtray, bought for £45 by Philip.
1:27:13 > 1:27:16- £20 for it straight in.- Go on.
1:27:16 > 1:27:22£20 bid, bid at 20, bid 22, 22, 25, all out in the ring now.
1:27:22 > 1:27:2528, 30. 30 I'm bid.
1:27:25 > 1:27:30At £30 bid, a harmless price for a good Mouseman piece. At 30.
1:27:30 > 1:27:32That failed, then on, didn't it?
1:27:32 > 1:27:33Still going.
1:27:33 > 1:27:3632, only bid at 32, bid and selling at 32.
1:27:37 > 1:27:39Sorry, Phil.
1:27:39 > 1:27:43Eek, a loss.
1:27:43 > 1:27:47It's time to see how the assorted box of toys goes.
1:27:47 > 1:27:4910 bid, at £10.
1:27:49 > 1:27:51- Profit, JP.- Yeah.
1:27:51 > 1:27:53- No, no, no. Come on.- 12.
1:27:53 > 1:27:5615. 15 bid.
1:27:56 > 1:27:58At 15, only bid at 15.
1:27:58 > 1:28:02Take 18 where? At 15, bid and selling at 15.
1:28:04 > 1:28:06- Well done, mate.- Steady, great.
1:28:08 > 1:28:11I like your positive attitude.
1:28:11 > 1:28:13- You're racing away.- I am.
1:28:13 > 1:28:18Uh-oh, it's Philip's pair of 19th-century children's clogs next.
1:28:18 > 1:28:21- Don't look, Jonathan. - But of interest in these.
1:28:21 > 1:28:23Start me £50 straight in. 20 bid.
1:28:23 > 1:28:28I have £20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45.
1:28:28 > 1:28:34All out in the ring now at £45. 45 bid. 48.
1:28:34 > 1:28:3848 with me. At 48 I am bid. At 48 I am bid. Are you all done...?
1:28:38 > 1:28:41And 50. 50 bid. Take two.
1:28:41 > 1:28:4450 I am bid. 52. 52. 52.
1:28:44 > 1:28:5054, 56, against you on the rail., 58 I am bid. At 58 I am bid, 60.
1:28:50 > 1:28:54At 60 against you. 60 against you, try another one.
1:28:54 > 1:28:57At 60 I'm bid and selling at £60.
1:28:57 > 1:29:00- How about that, eh?- So, if you'd have bought those,
1:29:00 > 1:29:01you would have made a tenner profit.
1:29:01 > 1:29:04I didn't want to make a tenner profit,
1:29:04 > 1:29:07I wanted to make £30 profit, Philip.
1:29:07 > 1:29:10You owe me commission for my services.
1:29:10 > 1:29:14They were a very clever buy, Philip.
1:29:14 > 1:29:20Next, the rather random lot of a pair of glass decanters
1:29:20 > 1:29:22and the Hornsea pottery terrier.
1:29:22 > 1:29:26- A fiver for them.- He's got confidence in them, hasn't he?
1:29:26 > 1:29:29Three, three, five, five bid.
