0:00:02 > 0:00:06The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each and one big challenge.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Well, duck, do I buy you, or don't I?
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Who can make the most money
0:00:10 > 0:00:12buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?
0:00:12 > 0:00:14- Yee hah! - The aim is trade up
0:00:14 > 0:00:17- and hope that each antique turns a profit.- Ooh!
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 > 0:00:22- 60.- Get out of here!
0:00:22 > 0:00:26So, will it be the fast lane to success or the slow road to bankruptcy?
0:00:26 > 0:00:29I'm going to cry.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33THEME TUNE ENDS ON JAZZY NOTE
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Today, we're back on the antiques hunt with Philip Serrell
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- and Jonathan Pratt. - Another day, another dollar.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46And this pair are getting to know each other rather well.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50- Where did you grow up, Phil? - Worcestershire. - Worcester born, and bred?
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Worcester born, Worcester bred,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- strong in the arm, thick in the head! - LAUGHTER
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Jonathan Pratt sometimes has to look long and hard to spot a gem.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01- What can I see, eh?- Ships?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Philip Serrell, however, can spot a good,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08and often rather odd buy, in an instant.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10How much are they?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14And with his canine skill he's slowly but surely
0:01:14 > 0:01:21been increasing his original £200 and now has £301.96 in his pocket.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Or should I say piggy?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Jonathan, however, has been on a losing streak
0:01:27 > 0:01:30and he only has £150.40 to shop with.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Back on the road in their spiffing 1965 Triumph TR4,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41as Jonathan's being somewhat outshone by his rival,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43what's his game plan?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46I'm going to ignore the fact that I didn't do well in the last auction,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49or the one before and I'm going to go in
0:01:49 > 0:01:52in my normal haphazard and jovial approach.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Ignorance may not be bliss, Jonathan.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02This week's trip sees the chaps travelling 140 miles
0:02:02 > 0:02:06from Cockermouth all the way to Wilmslow.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10On this leg, they're heading first to the market town of Darlington in the Tees Valley
0:02:10 > 0:02:15and eventually on to their auction in Doncaster.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Darlington was originally an Anglo-Saxon village.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23The Stockton and Darlington Railway was opened in 1825
0:02:23 > 0:02:28and the town is proud to be home of the world's first passenger railway.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29And there it is. Ha!
0:02:29 > 0:02:34(AS RAILWAY ANNOUNCER) These two passengers are pulling in to their first stop.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Jonathan will alight at Darlington
0:02:36 > 0:02:39and Philip will continue on to his first shop.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Mind the gap.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Time for the spending to begin.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Good morning.- Good morning, Gordon. - Jonathan, how are you doing? - Very well, thank you.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Look at this, isn't is a wonderful place? Jam-packed.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Proving that the antiques business is a small world, unbelievably,
0:03:01 > 0:03:05one of the first things Jonathan spots is a rather familiar item.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- That's an interesting table.- It is a very interesting table, yes. - JONATHAN CHUCKLES
0:03:11 > 0:03:16Who would've thought that the table Jonathan sold in the last auction
0:03:16 > 0:03:19for £20 would have ended up in this area shop?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- I could buy it again, couldn't I? - No, best not, Jonathan!
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Used to drive a Mini. Nothing like this, though.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- Sorry, I'm skitting around like a grasshopper. - Maybe Gordon has got an idea.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Walk this way.- Like that?!
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Ooh, it's an oak bureau with a price tag of £80.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49- Nice little thing here.- From the 19...yes '20s.- '20s again.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Nice thing, tidy.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Even has a little...
0:03:53 > 0:03:58..inside here we've got the manufacturer's tag in it somewhere.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- What does that say, then? - If you can read it.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- It's made by Lebus.- Yeah.- OK.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Nice one.- I've heard of Lebus. They made a lot of desks.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11They did a lot of roll-tops. So made by Lebus.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13It's all there. Forget the ticket price.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17£35 to you today. I'll be disappointed
0:04:17 > 0:04:21if you don't double your money on this in that auction.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- I would take it. - Did you hear that?- I did! - JONATHAN CHUCKLES
0:04:26 > 0:04:30How about 25, just to really help you out and take it away?
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Do 27 and you've got a deal.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Oh, what the heck.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38So one deal down.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41But Jonathan quickly has his eye on more furniture.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- This is 19 sort of '60s, '70s. - About '76.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49And the style is... I thought was quite fashionable.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Yet they're sitting here at £49. - They're beautiful tables.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Would you take £20 for them?
0:04:56 > 0:05:02I would like a bit more, but I would like to see them going somewhere.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Put your hand there. Thank you very much.- Thank you.- Two lots bought.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Not bad going, he's now bagged a trio of G Plan tables for £20,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12as well as the bureau.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19Jonathan's buying is under way and Philip's off to his shop in Yarm.
0:05:19 > 0:05:2111 miles east of Darlington.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Yarm began to thrive as a town during the Georgian period,
0:05:25 > 0:05:29nestled on the south bank of the River Tees,
0:05:29 > 0:05:35it has an old-world charm, with its quaint, cobbled streets and historic buildings -
0:05:35 > 0:05:38like the 18th-century town hall.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Let's hope the shops Philip's heading to our as appealing as the town.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- How are you my dear, is it all right if I have a look round? - Probably a good idea.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02That might hit the right note. Could be a squeeze, though! Ha.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09This is a squeeze box that was made in London in about, what?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12About 1891, something like that.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14SCREECHING NOTE
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Ooh, that's terrible, isn't it?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Clearly it's not just my ears that are tone deaf.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24If you look there, there's a paper label
0:06:24 > 0:06:26that gives you the maker's mark.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30And this is fret cut and the think you want to look at
0:06:30 > 0:06:35when you see this is to make sure there is no damages
0:06:35 > 0:06:38to any of the frets, which there doesn't appear to be.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40You just open it and squeeze it.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43If life were that easy, Sandy.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Clearly, my fingers and thumbs are too fat.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50How often do you come across these?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53And especially complete with box.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57And I can do you little deal on that.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Sandy, you'll have to do me a fantastic deal.- Well...
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- This has been a long time hasn't it?- It has.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- So you probably want to get rid of this, don't you?- I do really, yes.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07I do.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10How did you know it'd been in a long time?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Was it the dust?- No, my love, you've got it originally marked up at 195.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Then you've knocked 70 quid off it
0:07:18 > 0:07:23and you might have to knock another 70 quid off it and then who knows?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Philip!
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- I'm going to have a look upstairs but hang on to that for me. - OK.- Thank you, my love.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Oh, dear.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33I like that.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39All this is is a little cane picnic hamper.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41But I said.. Agh! Cor!
0:07:41 > 0:07:45A little cane picnic hamper with a sharp nail sticking out of it!
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Gordon Bennett!
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I'm going to speak to Sandy and see if I can buy this.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Sandy, have you got your best dealing hat on?
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Yes.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I'd like to give you 60 quid for that.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01And I'd like to give you 10 quid for that. 70 quid for the two.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03How much?!
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Watch my lips. - My God, she's a strong lady, this one.- Right.
0:08:07 > 0:08:13I was thinking, and I'm really being generous here, 110.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18What about if I gave you 80 quid for the two?
0:08:19 > 0:08:2090.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Come on, get your hand out. - I'll give you 85 for the two. Split difference.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28- Go on. Put your hand out. - Go on, then.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- You're an angel.- Deal. - Thank you, my love.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36So that works out at £75 for the squeezebox and £10 for the hamper.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Music to everyone's ears.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45So the auction's in Doncaster. Doncaster is in Yorkshire.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48If I buy Yorkshire produce and put it in there,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50some jams and chutneys and cheese.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51- That would be unique. - Off we go.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Sandy, you've been an angel. Love you lots. Speak to you soon.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- And you.- See you.- Thank you for everything.- Thank you, bye-bye.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Good luck.- Thank you.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Time for a spot of lunch.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06This is my best deal, because I'm really hungry.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- I tell you what, are these lobster pots?- I believe so, yes.- Really?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13They are made out of cane.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Only Philip could find an item for auction in a chippy.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- Um, how much is fish and chips? - 4.90.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27So could I buy fish, chips and a lobster pot is, can I do that?
0:09:29 > 0:09:35- How much?- I'll give you £7.50. Fish, chips and a lobster pot.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- No.- Go on then, how much?
0:09:38 > 0:09:3915 quid?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- How much?- 15.- No, no, no.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46I tell you what, this is my best deal, because I'm really, really hungry.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Fish, chips, and a lobster pot, £10 and there is a "but" coming.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Mushy peas.- Mushy peas, as well?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Yeah, yeah, yeah. A tenner.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- £10, yeah, mushy peas. - You're an angel. Thank you so much.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04First prize for the most random catch of the day,
0:10:04 > 0:10:08a lobster pot for £5.10.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10About the same price as the plaice.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14And these have got to be the best fish and chips in the north, haven't they?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- You're an angel, thank you. - You're welcome.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Gosh, I'm feeling hungry now.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22It's really good this is.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26He's at it again, but with a full tummy.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Philip is now on a mission to fill his hamper.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31# Shopping, shopping, shopping
0:10:31 > 0:10:34# When mommy takes me shopping #
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'll have some home-made jam, as well.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42That's all right. I wanted to buy some Wensleydale, Gromit. Rambler's chutney.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Yorkshire biscuits. That's got be good stuff.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Now, I wonder if there's a Yorkshire beer? Captain Cook.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- I've got to buy that. - Yes. It would be rude not to.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56I've got to be mean on price. Can I make you an offer for this stuff?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58You can have a go.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Are you really haggling in a deli?!
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- Will a tenner buy that?- Go on then, seeing as you've asked so nicely.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Thank you, bye!- Bye-bye.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12So, with a weird and wonderful combination of buys,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14time for the boys to get back on the road.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16How did your shop go?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- I did three shops.- You did how many? - Three.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22How did you manage three?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Well...- Hang on a minute. You do three times as many shops as me.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30This is a conspiracy. There is going to be further investigation into this!
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Little does Jonathan know that only one was actually from an antiques shop.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39The boys are now travelling 37 miles east of Yarm
0:11:39 > 0:11:41to Whitby in North Yorkshire.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44It's a fantastic place. I really like it.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Ah, I'm off to see Captain Cook.
0:11:49 > 0:11:56Whitby is famed for being where 18th-century British explorer and voyager Captain James Cook
0:11:56 > 0:11:58began his life as an ordinary seaman.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Still dominated by its ancient abbey ruins,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09In Cook's time, the port was a centre for shipbuilding and whaling
0:12:09 > 0:12:13and, today, a small fishing industry still exists.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Cook is renowned for charting and mapping the Pacific,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19New Zealand and the east coast of Australia.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24It was this harbourside house where he started his apprenticeship.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Sophie Forgan, chair of the Trustees of the Captain Cook Memorial Museum,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32will take Philip on the journey to this remarkable man.
0:12:34 > 0:12:40- Hi.- Good to meet you.- I'm Philip. How are you?- Very well, thanks. - This is lovely, isn't it?
0:12:40 > 0:12:46- Isn't it gorgeous?- Cook is famous for being an explorer.- He is.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51Like a sort of a latter-day Neil Armstrong, I suppose.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I think that's a good comparison,
0:12:53 > 0:12:57because not only did he discover lots of new places,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- he placed them on the map.- Did he? - He charted them.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05And he charted all sorts of places that had never been charted before,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07and he did it so accurately
0:13:07 > 0:13:10that they were still using his charts 200 years later.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Time to find out more.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18In 1768, the British admiralty wanted to explore unknown territory
0:13:18 > 0:13:21and observed the transit of Venus from the Pacific,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24which was to be useful for navigation.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29They chose Cook to lead the expedition in a Whitby-built ship called the Endeavour.
0:13:29 > 0:13:35This was to be his first of three major voyages of discovery across the globe.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40- What was Cook's first voyage? - The first voyage starts in Plymouth.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Yeah.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44And they call at Madeira
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- and then we swap around to the other side.- Right.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54And they go round Cape Horn and then across the Pacific
0:13:54 > 0:13:56until they get to Tahiti.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Then he has secret orders from the Admiralty, which he opens,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03and the Admiralty say go and search
0:14:03 > 0:14:07for the great undiscovered southern continent,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10if there be such a continent, and so he sails south, due south.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15Doesn't find anything much,
0:14:15 > 0:14:21so he turns westward and they hit New Zealand.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Discovering that it is two islands, not one.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Then they go westward again
0:14:28 > 0:14:32and they hit the east coast of Australia,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34which no-one had seen before.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39How long did it take them when they left to get back again?
0:14:39 > 0:14:43The whole voyage was three years.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Cook embarked on a second exploration
0:14:46 > 0:14:48and became the first man to sail around the world
0:14:48 > 0:14:51in both directions. But it was his third voyage,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54to find the Northwest Passage, that would prove to be his last.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58These are Cook's three voyages, but he didn't make all.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03He was killed in Hawaii in a fracas over a stolen boat with the natives.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04A misjudgment.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08He didn't have enough men with him, he was killed
0:15:08 > 0:15:11and committed to the deep, as was normal with sailors,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14in Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Cook was stabbed to death by islanders in 1779
0:15:18 > 0:15:22and so the man who radically changed our view of the world for ever
0:15:22 > 0:15:25was never to sail again.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26After a long day,
0:15:26 > 0:15:30it's time for Philip to read farewell to the museum.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Jonathan's also in Whitby and still on the hunt for a bargain.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Will he be able to seek out the truly bizarre?- Good afternoon.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- Mr Doyle?- Mr Doyle, yes. How'd you do?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Oh! A bit of an Aladdin's cave here.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48A bit of one, yes.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51What have you found there?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Yuck!
0:15:59 > 0:16:04I'm looking up at this hull of a boat and inside it you've got what
0:16:04 > 0:16:08I can only assume is the remains of possibly a steam
0:16:08 > 0:16:13or petrol-fired engine, so it would have had a cover and a mast.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15People collect these things,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19because people who are engineers like to repair these things, make these things better.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I might ask him about that.
0:16:21 > 0:16:27This model of a World War II torpedo boat is priced at £85,
0:16:27 > 0:16:31but with missing bits, I'm sure there's a deal to be done.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36I bet you that is built to scale. Give me £50 and we'll have a deal.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Look at it.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41It's a wreck!
0:16:41 > 0:16:45You're mad! Absolutely mad.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46No comment. Ha.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52OK. I'm going to be brave
0:16:52 > 0:16:54and I'm going to say...
0:16:54 > 0:16:56..all right.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Thank you very much.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- I've no idea what it's worth, but I'll say thank you. 50 quid. - OK, then.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- Great.- That's a bold move for someone who is trailing behind.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Anything else worth a, er, punt?
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- I saw the green glass vase with a silver collar.- This one.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Yeah.
0:17:19 > 0:17:25True to form, Jonathan simply can't resist a colourful vase.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I like this iridescent glass, it's like Austrian glass.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29A bit like the Loetz factory.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- That's a word, I remember that one. - Silver mounting, 1905.
0:17:33 > 0:17:39- Little bit thin, but the neck's quite good.- Would you pay £30 for it?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43I would be happy to offer you
0:17:43 > 0:17:45not 10,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47not 15,
0:17:47 > 0:17:48£18.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50JONATHAN CHUCKLES
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I tell you what, you give me 20 and you can have it.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54All right?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58What the heck, go on then. I'll take that as well.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Ah.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05First day of shopping done and dusted.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07And so to bed.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Separately.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19It's a brand-new day.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22# Good morning, world It's a brand-new day
0:18:24 > 0:18:26# A be-ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba bow! #
0:18:26 > 0:18:32So far, Philip Serrell has spent £100.10 on three lots.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36The squeezebox, the hamper filled with Yorkshire produce
0:18:36 > 0:18:42and a lobster pot, leaving a whopping £201.86 to spend today.
0:18:42 > 0:18:48Jonathan Pratt bought four lots - the oak bureau, nest of tables,
0:18:48 > 0:18:52a model boat and a glass vase, spending £117 in total.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56So he has only £33.44 today.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59He'd better spend wisely.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Philip's now going for a spot of shopping
0:19:05 > 0:19:08just down the road in Sleights.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Much of the small village sits on hillsides
0:19:12 > 0:19:15on either side of the pretty River Esk.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Philip's gone to see what Eskdale Antiques have to offer
0:19:19 > 0:19:23and immediately he can see that things here are right up his street.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Where else other than the antiques world can you get old quarry tiles
0:19:29 > 0:19:31an anchor or a cartwheel?
0:19:32 > 0:19:38- Hi, how are you, I'm Phil.- Hi. Phil Smith.- Phil, Phil. It's like an echo. How you doing?
0:19:38 > 0:19:39All right, thanks.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Philip's absolutely chomping at the bit to buy something here,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45just look at all these big, old lumps.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I love that spice box. What I love about that
0:19:51 > 0:19:58is in the middle you've got a nutmeg grater and you just grate your nutmeg like that.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Smell that, that's absolutely lovely.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Mm. Spicy.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Could I have a look at that one? - Yes.- How much is it first?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15What's the ticket price on it? The ticket price is...
0:20:19 > 0:20:20- ..30.- 30 quid.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Your pony's head goes in there.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- And then?- Packed out with straw with leather back to cushion it
0:20:28 > 0:20:34and fasten your straps there and then fasten onto the cart behind.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Right. Deal time.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I'll give you 15 quid for that.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Go on, then.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Have a deal.- I like that a lot.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50Let's just hope somebody in Doncaster has got a pony with no harness for it.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Time to trot on. Trot on.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Jonathan, meanwhile, is galloping 40 miles to Coxwold,
0:20:57 > 0:21:01once home to one of England's most famous authors.
0:21:01 > 0:21:0618th-century novelist Laurence Sterne was the Vicar of Coxwold
0:21:06 > 0:21:09for eight years, and it was while living here,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11in the now-named Shandy Hall,
0:21:11 > 0:21:15that he wrote his bawdy best-seller Tristram Shandy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:22Sterne and his humour have been likened to the rudeness of Max Miller and Frankie Howerd.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26The book is named after the haphazard main character Tristram,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29who endures a string of calamities from birth.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33He's his creator - Sterne's - alter ego,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37a chaotic genius and a literary one-off.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Not a conventional museum, Shandy Hall is also home to curator
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Patrick Wildgust,
0:21:42 > 0:21:47who strives to ensure that people like Jonathan continue to visit.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Can I introduce you to Laurence Sterne?
0:21:51 > 0:21:56He'd written the first two volumes of Tristram Shandy and paid for them himself.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57This is in 1759?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00He was sure the book would be successful,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03but couldn't find anybody to publish it.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05There's no name on the title page.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07It doesn't say it's by Laurence Sterne,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10but this portrait was painted within a few months
0:22:10 > 0:22:13of Sterne arriving in London to find out how his book was doing.
0:22:13 > 0:22:19And then he discovers it's a success, so he now becomes famous.
0:22:19 > 0:22:25Despite being a vicar, the book was very risque for the time,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28as well as being semi-autobiographical.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It was also an extraordinary book, because it made people laugh.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34It entertained people and it's going against the whole grain
0:22:34 > 0:22:37of how the 18th-century novel is supposed to be constructed.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40That painting identified him as being the author,
0:22:40 > 0:22:44because he's resting his elbow on the manuscript of Tristram Shandy.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Time to get acquainted with a few of Sterne's most loved characters.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51So what do we have in here?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- Well, we have Uncle Toby. - Who's he?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Uncle Toby is a significant character in Tristram Shandy.
0:22:58 > 0:23:04He is the uncle who influences Tristram's belief and attitude to life.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- He's a gentle, careful, considerate man.- That's nice.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- And he's also completely naive.- Oh.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11JONATHAN LAUGHS
0:23:11 > 0:23:15This proximity, with this woman - this is the Widow Wadman.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19She is the most beautiful woman who existed in fiction.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Sterne encourages you to imagine how beautiful she is by not describing her word for word
0:23:23 > 0:23:26about how she looks but he says to the reader,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30"Here's pen and ink and just think as much of your mistress as you wish
0:23:30 > 0:23:34"and as little of your wife as you wish to and draw her yourself."
0:23:34 > 0:23:39If you imagine the most beautiful woman you have ever thought of, that's the Widow Wadman.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Hello! HE LAUGHS
0:23:40 > 0:23:46Patrick will now show Jonathan the very room that Tristram Shandy was written in.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50All the books on the table, what's the significance of them?
0:23:50 > 0:23:54They're to show the visitor an indication of where Sterne got his ideas from,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56when he was writing this book.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01- Rabelais and Cervantes and Locke and Burton and the Bible.- OK.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03So his works are peppered with references,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06some of them deliberate and ones you should pick up
0:24:06 > 0:24:10and others are in homage, or he's just pinching things.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14He's created Shandy Hall in the book as a fictional place
0:24:14 > 0:24:17and then when he comes here, it becomes Shandy Hall.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- He names it Shandy Hall when he comes here?- His friends did.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Is he becoming Tristram Shandy himself?
0:24:23 > 0:24:29- You've hit on it exactly because there, "Dr Sterne, alias Tristram Shandy".- Really?!
0:24:29 > 0:24:35It's the end of this chapter for Jonathan. So time to close the book on Shandy Hall.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Carefully how you go.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45Reunited, the chaps are off to the seaside town of Scarborough.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49I do want to go to the promenade, or whatever it is, in Scarborough.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Let's drive through the promenade first.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54There's no point of coming to the seaside and not seeing the sea.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57We should buy one another a stick of rock, JP.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Scarborough, known as the Queen of the Yorkshire coast,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02is full of attractions.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07The historic and dramatic looking Scarborough Castle for one,
0:25:07 > 0:25:11but it's been a booming seaside resort for the last 360 years
0:25:11 > 0:25:14and is still as popular as ever.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Sadly, there's no strolling beside the seaside for these two.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21There's a competition to continue.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Let's hope Philip's last shop looks promising.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- You've got some good things in here, haven't you?- Lots of things.- Yeah.
0:25:37 > 0:25:43- Just going to look at that fish. Can we get the fish down, please? - Yes, you can.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- I'll pop it down here.- Thank you.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Now the first thing we want to do is is there a label on the back?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50There's absolutely nothing.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54I mean, the big exponent of doing these was a man called Cooper
0:25:54 > 0:25:58and Cooper was a great taxidermist.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05- Is that some sort of a trout? - I think it is.- Is it the old trout?! - LAUGHTER
0:26:05 > 0:26:08But what bothers me is condition.
0:26:08 > 0:26:14If you look here, you can just see that he's starting to flake away.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18What someone is going to have to do is take this out of its case
0:26:18 > 0:26:20and remount it and re-glaze it
0:26:20 > 0:26:24and that's going to cost what this thing is worth, really.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29Typically, Philip's drawn to the only thing in the shop that's not theirs.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33It's being sold for a friend who wants £150 for it.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Does your man definitely want to sell this?- Yes.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40He doesn't want it back in his house.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I like that and I'd like to buy it off you.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44I am worried about condition.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49Um, can I give you £40 for it and that's my best?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- Yes, sir.- You're an angel.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Blimey!
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Is Jonathan having similar bargaining power next door?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01That conjures up a strong image, doesn't it?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Perhaps that's something I should put in the sale.
0:27:03 > 0:27:09Our militaria always tends to, in any sale, whether it's a general or specialist sale,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11it always tends to do OK.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14It's obviously depicting a battle scene in the Boer War.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16That's a Scottish regiment.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20It's a colour print, signed and dated in the print as 1900
0:27:20 > 0:27:24and this is probably a reproduction not long after that.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26What would you sell that for?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- The best I could do today, Jonathan, is a tenner.- Oh, crikey.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32How's that?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- Oof. - HE LAUGHS
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Didn't expect that, did you?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- I'll take it for a tenner.- Yes? - Why not?
0:27:39 > 0:27:44Jonathan's keeping his last buy under wraps.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47But their next stop is the big reveal.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51PHILIP GASPS
0:27:51 > 0:27:53JONATHAN GIGGLES
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Isn't that the finest quality bureau that you might have ever seen?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59It's the best I've seen today.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04But I do like those turned bun feet. That lifts it up from the norm.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06And "Norm" will be pleased to hear that.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- TIM LAUGHS INSINCERELY - You joker, Philip!
0:28:09 > 0:28:11My next lot is this.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16- These are the hames. - Yes, this is...you obviously put the head of a pony, or something?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18A pony or a donkey.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19It's quite useful.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- Well, it cost me 15 quid.- 15?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Are those G Plan or something?
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Another mark of quality, you're saying, of course. 1970s teak, all the rage.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Antique? No, teak. - Just teak, I'm afraid.
0:28:35 > 0:28:41And they cost me... I mean, I was amazed, gobsmacked. £20.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45I went into this antiques shop and I bought a picnic hamper, right?
0:28:45 > 0:28:50- Yeah.- No, you see.- Have you been to the deli, or something?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- You haven't!- I have.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57I thought I've got to get some good Yorkshire produce to go with it so I got some biscuits and chutney,
0:28:57 > 0:29:01some Captain Cook beer, there's a hamper full of little goodies there.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06And the goodies cost me a tenner and the hamper cost me a tenner. What do you reckon?
0:29:06 > 0:29:09I like your style, Philip, I like your style.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Let's hope someone at the auction does, too.
0:29:12 > 0:29:17- This is my next lot. - I like that. I do like that.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Loetz style, silver-mounted,
0:29:19 > 0:29:24- circa 1904, 1905. - That's all right, then.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27What I did, I bought fish, chips and mushy peas, right?
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- Yeah.- And I bought that. - A linen basket.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Not from a fish shop, it ain't.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35I don't know. It's a lobster pot, isn't it?
0:29:35 > 0:29:38I'm bought fish, chips, peas and that for a tenner.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40But I ate the fish, chips and mushy peas.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- So this cost you a tenner? - It cost me £5.10,
0:29:43 > 0:29:46because the fish, chips and mushy peas with £4.90 and I ate those.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48You're suitably unimpressed.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52HE LAUGHS
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- Come on, JP, you're next. - Put it away.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- What's next?- This is the bit I'm most scared about,
0:29:57 > 0:30:02purely because it's not in great condition.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07Bit's just fallen off.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10It looks like it's been scuttled, JP.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15People like to go to auctions and buy these mechanical engines.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19I'm with you. Listen, if they've got lobster pots, you've got no problem with that!
0:30:19 > 0:30:22JONATHAN LAUGHS Good point.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23- This is a squeezebox.- Yeah.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25OK.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26PLAYS A FEW NOTES BADLY
0:30:31 > 0:30:32They make money, don't they?
0:30:32 > 0:30:36HE EXHALES They can do. They can do quite a lot of money, can't they?
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Because they're quite unusual, quite rare.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- I thought I might make, if I was lucky, 200.- Cor blimey.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45But I don't know.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50I hope you don't. I mean, I don't mean that too cruelly. I want to try get back in the game here!
0:30:50 > 0:30:52That's the spirit, Jonathan.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54What about the print?
0:30:55 > 0:31:01I think the print's worth £1 and the frame's worth £20 to £30.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- A tenner.- That's all right.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06Hello!
0:31:06 > 0:31:08HE LAUGHS
0:31:08 > 0:31:09I got the old trout.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- Brilliant.- What do you think?
0:31:13 > 0:31:18You're not brave enough to spend a lot of money on things, I know that.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Miaow!
0:31:20 > 0:31:25I had to pay £40 for it. I think in the right auction, it's 100 to 150
0:31:25 > 0:31:27and 50 to 80 quid in the wrong auction.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Time to get the fish knives out, Maud, and find out what they really think.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35For me, the Achilles heel in the whole operation is the boat.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39Because he paid £50 for that and I just don't see that.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44On a bad day, it could really make, I don't know, £15 to £30,
0:31:44 > 0:31:46something like that.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50For me, I'd be really nervous if I owned that.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55Crikey! I mean, Phil's gone off his rocker buying a hamper
0:31:55 > 0:31:57and buying some jam from down the road.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58For goodness' sake.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02On this leg of their road trip, the pair have travelled
0:32:02 > 0:32:08from Darlington to Yarm, Whitby, Sleights, Coxwold and Scarborough.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Let's see how their buys fare at auction in Doncaster
0:32:12 > 0:32:14in South Yorkshire.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19Oh, this must be St George's. Is this a cathedral or a church?
0:32:19 > 0:32:20I don't know.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Is Doncaster a city?
0:32:22 > 0:32:26I know a man who will tell us. OK, Tim, tell us what it is.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Well, chaps,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30St George's may look impressive,
0:32:30 > 0:32:34but it's a church, not a cathedral, and Doncaster is in fact
0:32:34 > 0:32:39an historic market town founded in AD71 by the old Romans.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Sitting on the River Don, it has a rich horse-racing and railway heritage
0:32:46 > 0:32:48and some famous faces were born there,
0:32:48 > 0:32:51including Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56Hear we are, this is it. Excellent. We've got a spot just outside.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01- Christen your boat. You should call it Hope.- I think I'm going to call it Doncaster.- Despair?
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- Don't be horrid! - Tudor Auction Rooms, house clearance specialists,
0:33:05 > 0:33:09have been doing business in Doncaster for over 30 years.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Let's hear what our auctioneer George Allen's favourite items are.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17The G Plan nest of tables, always a winner now.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19'70s furniture's really coming on.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23There's dealers buying that sort of stuff. It should be a pretty good winner.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26The squeezebox is in really good condition
0:33:26 > 0:33:30and it's rather unusual that you get the original box.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35There are quite a few collectors into accordions and squeezeboxes like that.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39I should think it will do £75, £100 on that one.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44It's probably the better item of the few that he's bought.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48So to jog our memories on what each expert has spent,
0:33:48 > 0:33:53Philip bought five lots totalling £155.10.
0:33:53 > 0:34:00And Jonathan Pratt forked out a wee bit less than his rival, £127, for his five items.
0:34:00 > 0:34:06I know Jonathan's trailing, but I've got a good feeling in my waterworks for him about this auction.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Here we go.
0:34:08 > 0:34:14First, one of Philip's more randomly acquired items from the fish-and-chip shop.
0:34:14 > 0:34:20The cane lobster pot. 5 anywhere? 5 bid. Any advance on five?
0:34:20 > 0:34:24Any more? All done. Tenner bid. £10.
0:34:24 > 0:34:29- Get in there, George! - I'll have to sit down.
0:34:29 > 0:34:3415 bid. £15. Any more? All out. Done at 15.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37If I'd known that, I could have had another portion of chips!
0:34:40 > 0:34:41I'm aghast.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44He knows what he's doing, our Philip.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46A decent profit on the lobster pot.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53Second is Jonathan's 1900 Scottish military scene print.
0:34:53 > 0:34:58Rather nice. Very collectable. War memorabilia. 5, surely. 5 bid.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Any advance on 5? All done.
0:35:01 > 0:35:047.50 on the book. 7.50 bid.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09- Going.- 10 bid.- Oh!- 12.50.- Yes!- 15.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13£15 bid. Have you all done? At £15.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- There you go.- That's cheap.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Yes, it's a couple for me.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23Gets me off on a snail's pace.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Ha. Not a bad buy. The print served him well.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Next is Philip's pony hame.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Highly collectable, ladies and gentlemen. 5 bid.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Any advance on 5? 10.
0:35:38 > 0:35:4115. 20. 5. 30.
0:35:41 > 0:35:46£30 lady's in at 30. 35. New bidder. 40 bid.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48£40 bid.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51£40 bid. I'll take 2.50, if it will help you.
0:35:51 > 0:35:5642.50 is back in. 45.
0:35:56 > 0:36:0045 bid. All done at £45.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- The drinks are on you tonight, Phil. - They certainly are.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Another profit for Philip and mine's a Campari and soda.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11No, I didn't come from Luton airport! Ha.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Next, Philip's been at it again. It's a bad case of stuffed fish. Ha.
0:36:17 > 0:36:2010 bid. £10. Any more?
0:36:20 > 0:36:2515, 20, 5, 30, £30, still cheap.
0:36:25 > 0:36:30- £30 bid. Any advance on 30? 2.50, if you like.- It's crashed and burned.
0:36:30 > 0:36:3435, she's back in. 37.50.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36New bidder. 40 bid.
0:36:36 > 0:36:43£40 bid. Any advance on 40? Have you all done? At £40.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44No complaints at all.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47I'm quite happy now. You can give the rest away.
0:36:47 > 0:36:53Minus commission, the fish floundered and was actually a loss for Philip.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59Now for Jonathan's Loetz-style green vase.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04Lot number 202 is a very nice, iridescent glass vase
0:37:04 > 0:37:09with the hallmarked silver, ladies and gentlemen.
0:37:09 > 0:37:1410 bid. £10 bid. 15 bid. 20 bid. 25, 30 bid.
0:37:14 > 0:37:1835 bid. 35 on the side.
0:37:18 > 0:37:2235 bid. Any advance on 35? Still cheap is this.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27- 35 bid.- It is cheap, it's a great vase.- Any more? All done.
0:37:27 > 0:37:2942.50.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32At £42.50. Another chance.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34At 42.50.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Go on, go on!
0:37:35 > 0:37:40- That's all right, JP.- Yeah. - So after commission that's...
0:37:40 > 0:37:41I'm on the way back!
0:37:41 > 0:37:45You'll need a bit more than that to put you in the lead, Jonathan, or even to get you back
0:37:45 > 0:37:48to where you started. Oh, dear.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52It's time to see if anyone's in the mood for a picnic.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56You know it's going to be red-hot tomorrow. It's the picnic basket
0:37:56 > 0:37:58and it is full.
0:37:58 > 0:38:045 anywhere? 2 bid. £2 bid. £6 bid.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05He's going to work the room.
0:38:05 > 0:38:098 bid on the front row. Any advance on 8, have you all done?
0:38:09 > 0:38:1310. Very cheap that. That jam must be worth 20! 10 bid.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16You buy it, George!
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Any more? A bit of cake, as well!
0:38:19 > 0:38:2312 bid. 14. We're getting better.
0:38:23 > 0:38:2616. 18.
0:38:26 > 0:38:3218 bid, we've got her. Any more? Done at 18.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33See you down by the riverside.
0:38:33 > 0:38:38- He did really well.- Tell you what, old George works them well, doesn't he? Bless him.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Maybe so, but you still made a loss, Philip.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Aha. It's the 1920s Lebus oak bureau up now.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Lovely piece.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51Very collectable,
0:38:51 > 0:38:54usable item. 10 bid.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57£10 bid. 15.
0:38:57 > 0:39:0020. 25.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01- 25 bid.- Keep going.
0:39:01 > 0:39:0625, 7.50. 20, please? 30 bid.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10£30 bid. £30 bid. Any advance on 30? Have you all done?
0:39:10 > 0:39:14- At £30. 43.- Oh, goodness.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17So what are the tables going to make now?
0:39:17 > 0:39:22They've got to make about £100 for me go in a profit, I think!
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Well, it's not over yet, Jonathan.
0:39:27 > 0:39:32So let's see what his nest of 1970s G plan tables make.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35£30 to start me. 20.
0:39:35 > 0:39:3710 to start me. 10 bid.
0:39:37 > 0:39:42£10 bid on the G Plan nest. Any advance on 10?
0:39:42 > 0:39:43That is ridiculously cheap.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Are you sure? 15 bid. 20 bid.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Lady's in at 20. 25 bid.
0:39:49 > 0:39:5125 bid. Any more?
0:39:51 > 0:39:54All done at £25.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- Good night.- You were hard done by. I'll shake you by the hand.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00You were hard done by, old mate.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05He was a bit. Not a whopping profit when he needs it most.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Time for Philip's rosewood concertina to face the music.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14It's a little beauty this one, ladies and gentlemen.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17It's the Victorian squeezebox.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- Give it a little squeeze. There we go. Perfect.- Thanks, George(!) - £50 to start?
0:40:21 > 0:40:25£20 bid. 20 bid. £20 bid. Any advance on 20?
0:40:25 > 0:40:2830, 40, 50.
0:40:28 > 0:40:3260. 70. £70 bid, lady's in at 70.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36£80. 90, 100. £100 bid.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39£100 bid. 110.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41120.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42130.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47130. The yellow cap in at 130. 140.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48150.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52- £150 bid.- I feel a bit better, JP. - Are we all done?
0:40:52 > 0:40:56At £150.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58JONATHAN CLAPS
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Well done, George.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02You doubled your money, Phil.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05And that's a fantastic profit for Philip.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09He's got a hard act to follow.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Last, but by no means least,
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Jonathan's slightly incomplete model boat.
0:41:15 > 0:41:20This is a rather nice craft, ladies and gentlemen(!) A gunboat.
0:41:20 > 0:41:265 anywhere on the gunboat? 5 bid. Any advance on 5?
0:41:26 > 0:41:317.50 can I see? 7.50 bid. Lady's in at 7.50.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- A lady's going to buy it. - Interesting project. 10 bid.
0:41:35 > 0:41:40£10 bid. 12.50 new bidder. 13.50 bid.
0:41:41 > 0:41:4413.50, have you all done?
0:41:44 > 0:41:47At £13.50.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51I don't quite know what to say now, JP.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54LAUGHTER I'll go down with my ship.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55SPLASH!
0:41:55 > 0:41:57And he's sunk. Ha-ha.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59GURGLE!
0:42:00 > 0:42:03So, with that final lot, it's safe to say
0:42:03 > 0:42:05it's a hat-trick for Philip Serrell,
0:42:05 > 0:42:09who has now won his third auction on the trot.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- On the whole, a good result.- Eh?
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- For you.- Oh. - JONATHAN CHUCKLES
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Jonathan started this leg of the trip with £140.40
0:42:21 > 0:42:23and, sadly, after auction costs,
0:42:23 > 0:42:29ends today with even less, £126.70, to be precise.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Oh, dear.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Philip started with a healthier sum, £301.96.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40But even minus commission, has increased that even further
0:42:40 > 0:42:44and now has a decent £366.62.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Steady Eddie.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Surely now it's time for Jonathan to change tactics.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Have you got a plan for the next leg?
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Um, as always, Philip, my plan is to have no plan.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58- That's good enough, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Just get in the car and drive.
0:43:07 > 0:43:12Next time on the Antiques Road Trip, Jonathan goes off his rocker...
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Yee-ha!
0:43:15 > 0:43:18..whereas Philip is starting to feel his age.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21Makes me feel like a dinosaur, really.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23When you see things in an antiques centre
0:43:23 > 0:43:27that you can remember your parents buying new.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30A pair that truly are chalk and cheese.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32You're going to church I'm going to a pub,
0:43:32 > 0:43:35which I think probably sums up our respective characters.
