0:47:50 > 0:47:57.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each and one big challenge...
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Well, duck, do I buy you or don't I?
0:48:08 > 0:48:10Who can make most money buying and selling antiques,
0:48:10 > 0:48:13- as they scour the UK?- Yee-hah!
0:48:13 > 0:48:17- The aim is trade up and hope that each antique turns a profit.- Ooh!
0:48:17 > 0:48:21But it's not as easy as it looks. Dreams of glory can end in tatters.
0:48:21 > 0:48:22Get out of here.
0:48:22 > 0:48:26Will it be the fast lane to success or 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 > 0:48:38Today, it's the last dash down the antiques superhighway
0:48:38 > 0:48:42for our pair of aspirational auctioneers,
0:48:42 > 0:48:45Philip Serrell and Jonathan Pratt.
0:48:45 > 0:48:50And their 1964 Triumph TR4 has served them well.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54This shopping trip is going to be around going back to basics,
0:48:54 > 0:48:58- what I know best.- Which is what?
0:48:58 > 0:49:02Which is...buy it cheap and sell it high!
0:49:02 > 0:49:04That's original(!)
0:49:04 > 0:49:07But let's not forget Philip Serrell is a hard man to beat,
0:49:07 > 0:49:10especially when it comes to price.
0:49:10 > 0:49:14Listen, I'm doing you a favour. I'd like to give you ten quid for that.
0:49:14 > 0:49:15How much?!
0:49:15 > 0:49:17He said a tenner.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19- How much?!- Oh, I give up.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22The point is, so far, Philip's the undisputed champion
0:49:22 > 0:49:24of this road trip.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27He's turned his original £200 stake
0:49:27 > 0:49:31into a dazzling £382.42.
0:49:33 > 0:49:38Which means this is Jonathan Pratt's last chance.
0:49:38 > 0:49:43Despite having great hair, he's had a diabolical week at auction,
0:49:43 > 0:49:45losing money hand over fist.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48# It's the final countdown
0:49:54 > 0:49:57# The final countdown... #
0:50:00 > 0:50:03I want to go and cry! I can't believe it!
0:50:03 > 0:50:08Oh-ho! But if he wants to teach his scarf-wearing nemesis a lesson,
0:50:08 > 0:50:13today, every decision, every negotiation, is critical.
0:50:13 > 0:50:18After all, his original £200 is now just £152.80,
0:50:18 > 0:50:24but just one purchase can change everything.
0:50:24 > 0:50:27I'm still under my budget, but I'm going to come back now.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30Oh, here we go again! Here we go again!
0:50:30 > 0:50:32So far this week,
0:50:32 > 0:50:35our chaps have journeyed all the way from Cockermouth in Cumbria
0:50:35 > 0:50:39and their road trip ends with one last auction in Wilmslow,
0:50:39 > 0:50:43but, today's first shop, big, bad Sheffield.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Like Rome, built on seven hills.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48I suppose we ought to find lots of cutlery in Sheffield.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51- We've got two footy teams.- Uh-huh.
0:50:51 > 0:50:54- We've got The Full Monty.- Uh-huh. - What else have we got?
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Antique shops, Philip!
0:50:56 > 0:51:00Antique shops - the first of which is Langtons.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03Come on, then, matey. Let's go and have a look.
0:51:03 > 0:51:07And there's plenty to see, for this family business has been going since 1870
0:51:07 > 0:51:12and displays the wares of more than 50 different dealers.
0:51:13 > 0:51:17- Wow, this place is massive, isn't it?- I've got my mojo back, Philip.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19Well, Jonathan, I'm glad to hear it,
0:51:19 > 0:51:24because the Silver Fox has already spotted something that tickles his fancy.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26I love me cricket.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31This is the days - 1954.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33These are interesting, these -
0:51:33 > 0:51:36they're little facsimile cricket bats
0:51:36 > 0:51:41and if you went to Lord's, Trent Bridge, the Oval, Headingley, or wherever,
0:51:41 > 0:51:43you bought one of these from the shop.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47This is by Gunn & Moore in Nottingham, so there's every chance it's from Trent Bridge.
0:51:47 > 0:51:51And you might have paid ten shillings, as a souvenir.
0:51:51 > 0:51:54There's some fantastic names here.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57There's Len Hutton, Peter May, Bill Edrich.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00I like those. An auctioneer would estimate those at £30 to £50,
0:52:00 > 0:52:03which means I have to buy it for about 20 quid.
0:52:03 > 0:52:08Watch out, Ian. The Fox is one very sly negotiator.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10I'm looking for £50 on the pair.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12I can't get close to that.
0:52:12 > 0:52:15I want to buy them off you, but I can't get close to that.
0:52:15 > 0:52:21- I really can't.- You're offering me...?- Like...20 quid for the two.
0:52:21 > 0:52:26And I can tell just by the way you're scrunching your face there,
0:52:26 > 0:52:28- you know it's low.- Oh, it is!
0:52:28 > 0:52:30£40. £40, we have a deal.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34I can't do that. I'll meet you halfway.
0:52:34 > 0:52:39- 30 quid, that's my best shout. Really is my best shout.- £30...
0:52:39 > 0:52:43- £30 the two and I'll shake your hand now.- I'll shake on that. - You're a gentleman.
0:52:43 > 0:52:46So, we're one purchase in.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Like that. Straight bat, left elbow up.
0:52:48 > 0:52:52I think Jonathan might just get ready to make another,
0:52:52 > 0:52:56but can he persuade Pauline to drop her prices?
0:52:56 > 0:53:01I like these little leather hatboxes. There's no hat inside, but...
0:53:01 > 0:53:05you've got a nice little liner, which is all padded.
0:53:05 > 0:53:07These are actually original and nice condition.
0:53:07 > 0:53:11What would be the best price on that, for you?
0:53:11 > 0:53:13What have I got on it?
0:53:13 > 0:53:15- I think you're asking 50-something. - 58.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18Um...48?
0:53:18 > 0:53:20It needs a bit of work. Um...
0:53:20 > 0:53:24I was thinking more along the lines of £35.
0:53:25 > 0:53:27All right, 35.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30Goodness me, that was easy! Peanut butter legs!
0:53:30 > 0:53:35But it's the kind of item that will propel you into the lead, won't it, Jonathan?
0:53:35 > 0:53:39- I think, I...- Well, is it?
0:53:39 > 0:53:42I think... Yes, I'm going to go for that. I think that's a nice object.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44Mm, decisive(!)
0:53:44 > 0:53:48And just a few feet away, Philip's exploring his musical side.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50So, cover your ears...
0:53:50 > 0:53:53round about...now.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56DISCORDANT MUSIC
0:53:58 > 0:54:01I haven't got a clue what that's worth. Not the first idea.
0:54:01 > 0:54:05Not a clue! Can we go and put it down...?
0:54:05 > 0:54:08That's a good idea. Now, it may interest you to know
0:54:08 > 0:54:12that whilst the accordion was invented in Berlin in 1822,
0:54:12 > 0:54:16it actually originates from a Chinese instrument called a sheng,
0:54:16 > 0:54:19which is, in fact, 4,000 years old.
0:54:19 > 0:54:23- Richard, I think that's £50 to £80. What could buy that?- 80 quid?
0:54:23 > 0:54:25You're getting closer to it.
0:54:25 > 0:54:2670.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29I'll give you 50 quid for it.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31It's good for 60.
0:54:31 > 0:54:35The only reason I'm doing it is I bought a concertina before and it did me proud.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38I'll give you £55 and that's my best shot.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41- That's fine.- You're a gentleman, Richard. What on Earth have I done?!
0:54:41 > 0:54:43Well, you are the king of quirk, Philip.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46Why have I...? What have you done, selling me that?
0:54:46 > 0:54:49Mind you, if you think the accordion's an unusual choice,
0:54:49 > 0:54:52look at what Jonathan wants to buy -
0:54:52 > 0:54:57one 1950s mannequin, being sold by young Jill.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00- You've ripped her arms off! - I'm sorry, they fell off.
0:55:00 > 0:55:04I wasn't so much manhandling her, I was lifting her up to see what the chair was like.
0:55:04 > 0:55:08That's my excuse anyway. Anyway, then her arms fell off.
0:55:08 > 0:55:12- I think there's a price on her... - There is. It was here.
0:55:12 > 0:55:13It was £45.
0:55:13 > 0:55:15Seriously, he's not going to buy that, is he?!
0:55:15 > 0:55:18- Um...- 40 quid.
0:55:18 > 0:55:1930?
0:55:21 > 0:55:23I'll be happy with 30.
0:55:23 > 0:55:2432.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Crikey. Er, 32?
0:55:26 > 0:55:29Oh...I'm not going to haggle. Yes, that's fine.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31- 32.- £32, brilliant.
0:55:31 > 0:55:33Now, does she have a name?
0:55:33 > 0:55:35Does she have a name? Um, no.
0:55:35 > 0:55:37- No, but you can name her. - I was going to.
0:55:37 > 0:55:42I thought we could give her a name. Maybe something French, exotic.
0:55:42 > 0:55:46- I don't know why, but I thought she was a Clarissa.- Then it's Clarissa.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48Just one problem here...
0:55:48 > 0:55:50pretty frock not included.
0:55:50 > 0:55:53So, Jonathan needs to buy something for Clarissa to wear.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56The exact thing for you. This little number.
0:55:56 > 0:55:591960s, baby doll, Marks & Spencer's.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02A fiver.
0:56:02 > 0:56:07- My word.- She'll look a smart girl in that.- She'll look great.
0:56:07 > 0:56:09What do you know about frocks, Jonathan?
0:56:09 > 0:56:13Anyway, £37 all in and I just hope he knows what he's doing.
0:56:13 > 0:56:15# Just the two of us... #
0:56:15 > 0:56:18Ooh, Philip's changed(!)
0:56:18 > 0:56:21# Just the two of us... #
0:56:21 > 0:56:24It's nicer having you sitting next to me than Phil. You're much better-looking.
0:56:24 > 0:56:26Yeah, that's cos she's a dummy,
0:56:26 > 0:56:29although, speaking of Phil...
0:56:29 > 0:56:32He's off to Bakewell, renowned for its Bakewell pudding
0:56:32 > 0:56:37and not, as many people wrongly assume, the Bakewell tart,
0:56:37 > 0:56:40even though it's exceedingly good.
0:56:40 > 0:56:44But, more to the point, the area is also home to Haddon Hall,
0:56:44 > 0:56:49said to be one of the finest medieval manor houses in existence.
0:56:49 > 0:56:51Today, Jo's giving Phil the guided tour.
0:56:51 > 0:56:55We're coming up to part of the newer part of the building, at the moment.
0:56:55 > 0:56:59- This wasn't built till about 1540. - Oh, right.
0:56:59 > 0:57:07Dating back to the 11th century, it used to belong to the illegitimate son of William the Conqueror.
0:57:07 > 0:57:11Since then, it's passed through the hands of two families - the Vernons and the Manners.
0:57:11 > 0:57:14And, today, after more than 900 years,
0:57:14 > 0:57:17the house still stands in near-perfect condition.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19This is our Great Hall.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21It dates back to about 1370,
0:57:21 > 0:57:24so it's the oldest part of the domestic building.
0:57:24 > 0:57:28Meanwhile, this table dates back to the 1450s
0:57:28 > 0:57:33and helps tell the story of a popular saying, "the upper crust".
0:57:33 > 0:57:37- People didn't have plates and pewter. They ate off trenchers, didn't they?- They did.
0:57:37 > 0:57:39They ate off bread trenchers.
0:57:39 > 0:57:42Bread trenchers. You put the bread on the table
0:57:42 > 0:57:46and your meat onto the bread, then soaked your gravy into the bread.
0:57:46 > 0:57:49- The bottom of the bread is stale, isn't it?- It is.
0:57:49 > 0:57:53- The wealthier people had the top of the bread, so they were "the upper crust".- That's right.
0:57:54 > 0:57:58After serving its owners for five centuries,
0:57:58 > 0:58:01Haddon Hall was abandoned in the early 1700s
0:58:01 > 0:58:04and lay dormant for around 200 years,
0:58:04 > 0:58:10before the 9th Duke and Duchess of Rutland decided to embark on a full restoration.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13This is our dining room, as you can see by the table.
0:58:13 > 0:58:17- Fantastic cupboard!- It is. I wanted to show you this closer,
0:58:17 > 0:58:19because it is so beautifully carved.
0:58:19 > 0:58:22It's one of our collection of dole cupboards,
0:58:22 > 0:58:24used to share out the food for the poor.
0:58:24 > 0:58:28I think they would be put on bridges, at crossroads, where people would pass by
0:58:28 > 0:58:31and any food that was left over would be put in here.
0:58:31 > 0:58:35If you couldn't support yourself, you took the food from the dole cupboard,
0:58:35 > 0:58:36so you were on the dole.
0:58:36 > 0:58:40I hadn't appreciated "dole" and "on the dole" -
0:58:40 > 0:58:44- so...D-O-L-E?- Yeah.- Right.
0:58:44 > 0:58:46- On the benefits.- Yeah.
0:58:46 > 0:58:49Last on the tour is the Long Gallery,
0:58:49 > 0:58:55created in the Tudor period, in order to accommodate the latest health fad,
0:58:55 > 0:58:57the thing they decided to call "exercise".
0:58:57 > 0:58:59Wow.
0:58:59 > 0:59:03- Make a fantastic cricket net, this, wouldn't it?- It would!
0:59:03 > 0:59:06- You could just...- Bowls.
0:59:06 > 0:59:07Skateboarding.
0:59:07 > 0:59:09It used to be three rooms.
0:59:09 > 0:59:15- This used to be three rooms?- It did. Then they said, "Let's build a long gallery" and knocked them together.
0:59:15 > 0:59:18- You say this was an exercise hall? - It was, yes. Shall we?
0:59:18 > 0:59:21Go on... How fast did they go?
0:59:21 > 0:59:25- Not as fast as this, I don't think. - We've got to go this fast.
0:59:25 > 0:59:29Now, while Phil works on achieving the body beautiful -
0:59:29 > 0:59:31and it may take some time -
0:59:31 > 0:59:35our next stop is Chesterfield,
0:59:35 > 0:59:40a destination that began life as a Roman fort, circa 70 AD,
0:59:40 > 0:59:43and eventually blossomed into a market town.
0:59:45 > 0:59:50Chesterfield is also renowned for its crooked church spire,
0:59:50 > 0:59:53a 14th-Century addition which, according to one folklore,
0:59:53 > 0:59:56is crooked because a local blacksmith mis-shoed the Devil,
0:59:56 > 0:59:59who then leaped over the spire in pain and knocked it out of shape.
0:59:59 > 1:00:02Ha! If you believe that, you'll believe anything.
1:00:02 > 1:00:07A few miles down the road, young Pratt still has £80 burning a hole in his pocket.
1:00:07 > 1:00:12and is thinking of giving it, at least some of it, to our Marlene, in her shop.
1:00:12 > 1:00:17- What a lovely shop!- I try and pack it with a lot of things that people could be interested in.- Yeah.
1:00:17 > 1:00:20And I like to let them have a look round and a rummage.
1:00:20 > 1:00:24Mm. And, after Jonathan's had a bit of a rummage...
1:00:27 > 1:00:31..he's happy to report he has several candidates for his next purchase.
1:00:31 > 1:00:35I quite like this little chap here. It kind of looks out of place, but...
1:00:35 > 1:00:40Little children's food bowl, your A-B-C round the outside.
1:00:40 > 1:00:44They can eat all their food and get to the bottom and say, "I can see the doggy, Mummy!".
1:00:44 > 1:00:49Oh, yeah? More importantly, it's 1930s and in excellent condition,
1:00:49 > 1:00:53so it joins the maybe list, along with one pen and ink drawing
1:00:53 > 1:00:57of the Northern locomotive, circa 1920.
1:00:57 > 1:00:58Well, maybe.
1:00:58 > 1:01:00P'raps?
1:01:00 > 1:01:02The only doubt is they haven't signed it.
1:01:02 > 1:01:06And, last, but not least, miniature golf, anyone?
1:01:06 > 1:01:07I like this. This is Chad Valley.
1:01:07 > 1:01:11Chad Valley is one of the big names for making toys
1:01:11 > 1:01:13in the early part of the 20th century.
1:01:13 > 1:01:16So, you've got nine holes, two putters,
1:01:16 > 1:01:18a driver, as well.
1:01:18 > 1:01:20I like that a lot, actually.
1:01:20 > 1:01:23This and the locomotive and the children's bowl,
1:01:23 > 1:01:25I might just buy the lot today.
1:01:25 > 1:01:29Well, someone's living dangerously,
1:01:29 > 1:01:32though what large sums might we be talking about here?
1:01:32 > 1:01:34Um, I think the very best on that would be seven.
1:01:34 > 1:01:38- I bought it with other items.- OK. - I think that would be a fair price.
1:01:38 > 1:01:42- There's a little way to go in that. - I'm happy with that. £7 is brilliant.
1:01:42 > 1:01:46Thank you very much. The next is the Chad Valley miniature golf set.
1:01:46 > 1:01:51- Tatty little box, but, um...- Crikey, it's amazing it's still in the box.
1:01:51 > 1:01:55- I think I'd like to see £10 for that.- That's brilliant. OK.
1:01:55 > 1:01:59Do you know, I can't haggle, cos ten is generous. And seven's good.
1:01:59 > 1:02:01- We like to be fair.- Thank you.
1:02:01 > 1:02:06Oh, yes. In that case, there's just one more item in the window.
1:02:06 > 1:02:10- This one?- Yes, that chap there. - Right. Nice little item.
1:02:10 > 1:02:14- What would you do that for?- I'd like to probably realise ten for that.
1:02:14 > 1:02:17I really like it and I think £10 is a fair price.
1:02:17 > 1:02:22So, in all, I'm going to buy three objects and they'll cost me £27.
1:02:22 > 1:02:26- Right.- Which is very good, so thank you.- You haven't broke the bank.- No, I haven't!
1:02:26 > 1:02:30And so endeth today's shopping spree,
1:02:30 > 1:02:33with both our experts rather pleased with what they'd bought.
1:02:34 > 1:02:39The impression, JP, that we're... Are we both chilled at the minute?
1:02:39 > 1:02:41Yes. Cos it's the last one.
1:02:41 > 1:02:43In for a penny, in for a pound and I want to win.
1:02:43 > 1:02:46So, not chilled at all then!
1:02:55 > 1:02:59As the sun rises on the last day of the last leg,
1:02:59 > 1:03:02our experts are fighting fit and raring to go,
1:03:02 > 1:03:05especially young Pratt, who's all too aware that...
1:03:05 > 1:03:08# It's the final countdown... #
1:03:10 > 1:03:14Hopefully, I've got an overall profit out of it,
1:03:14 > 1:03:19- but what I want to find is that one little thing which might be the real...- The gem.- Yeah, the gem.
1:03:19 > 1:03:25So far, Jonathan has spent £99 on four auction lots.
1:03:25 > 1:03:29With his remaining £54, he vows to give old Serrell a real run for his money.
1:03:29 > 1:03:32Philip, on the other hand, has spent just £85
1:03:32 > 1:03:35on two auction lots, which means he still
1:03:35 > 1:03:39has £300 secreted somewhere about his person.
1:03:39 > 1:03:41Don't think about it(!)
1:03:41 > 1:03:43I'd like to buy something daft.
1:03:43 > 1:03:46I'd like to buy something like a canoe. Or a...
1:03:46 > 1:03:47- A gnu?!- Yeah.
1:03:47 > 1:03:53Mm. Today, we're en route to Matlock, source of many a canoe,
1:03:53 > 1:03:57which was once not one but four small villages, where not very much tended to happen.
1:03:59 > 1:04:03But then in 1698, with the discovery of thermal springs,
1:04:03 > 1:04:05suddenly Matlock was a spa town.
1:04:05 > 1:04:12The population boomed and 20 hydros opened their doors, using mere water to treat many an ailment.
1:04:12 > 1:04:15Although today, the only therapy Phil Serrell's after is retail,
1:04:15 > 1:04:18so, currently, he's headed down the high street,
1:04:18 > 1:04:21past the cute little doggy, which is not in the window.
1:04:21 > 1:04:24Hello, mate. Have you been left outside?
1:04:24 > 1:04:27Oh, dear, that's not good, is it?
1:04:27 > 1:04:30And on to Matlock Antiques,
1:04:30 > 1:04:33where he's discovered something even before he goes into the shop.
1:04:33 > 1:04:37You know, you look at something like that...
1:04:40 > 1:04:43..and I can hear you asking, "Who's going to buy that?"
1:04:43 > 1:04:47You'd want to try and buy that for £20 to £25, really.
1:04:47 > 1:04:50But I have seen them at £60, £70.
1:04:50 > 1:04:53They're a bit bigger, with much bigger wooden blocks here.
1:04:53 > 1:04:56I'm going to go in, see what else I can find.
1:04:56 > 1:05:00Well, you say that, but we all know what you really want is...
1:05:00 > 1:05:01- The mangle?- Yeah.
1:05:01 > 1:05:04It's just a bit hot price-wise, isn't it?
1:05:04 > 1:05:07- What price is on it?- I'll tell you what I can get for it at auction.
1:05:07 > 1:05:11In a saleroom, that's going to make 30 to 50 quid, cos it's bust,
1:05:11 > 1:05:15which means I have to buy it, after commission, between £20 and £25.
1:05:15 > 1:05:19I'm sure 30 to 35 would be a lot better.
1:05:19 > 1:05:20Who for?!
1:05:20 > 1:05:24- Us, of course!- Let's have a think on that. Let me see what else...
1:05:24 > 1:05:27- We might be able to block package it.- OK. That's lovely.
1:05:27 > 1:05:29Let me see what else I can find.
1:05:31 > 1:05:33I quite like that little trophy there,
1:05:33 > 1:05:35which is not a snooker trophy.
1:05:35 > 1:05:40It's a billiards trophy, cos there's two white balls, one of which has got a spot on.
1:05:40 > 1:05:43By the way, billiards was once a game played outdoors,
1:05:43 > 1:05:49similar to croquet, and the green felt of a billiards table is supposed to represent the lawn.
1:05:50 > 1:05:52I think it's a really cool little trophy.
1:05:52 > 1:05:57In that case, it's back to the negotiation table.
1:05:57 > 1:06:00Could you do a deal on that and the mangle?
1:06:00 > 1:06:03Can you do me £25 the two?
1:06:03 > 1:06:07Not really, no. I think if we say 30 for the two,
1:06:07 > 1:06:10- that'd be good.- What about if I toss and if it's heads,
1:06:10 > 1:06:13it's £25 and if it's tails, it's £30? How does that sound?
1:06:13 > 1:06:16- A coin, yes.- Oh, this is good, then.
1:06:16 > 1:06:20This man's a chancer and, ladies, I'd check that coin, if I were you.
1:06:27 > 1:06:31- If it's a head, it's £30.- It's mine, yes.- And if it's a tail, it's 25.
1:06:34 > 1:06:36Get in there!
1:06:36 > 1:06:38- I think that's...- Double-headed...
1:06:38 > 1:06:42- It's double-tailed! - You said double-headed, you can't have it both ways!
1:06:42 > 1:06:43I was fibbing!
1:06:43 > 1:06:45THEY LAUGH
1:06:45 > 1:06:49- The Silver Fox has done it again. - Thank you.
1:06:49 > 1:06:52Now, as for Jonathan, he's motoring on.
1:06:53 > 1:06:56His next stop is Stoke-On-Trent,
1:06:56 > 1:07:00considered to be the spiritual home of Britain's pottery industry.
1:07:00 > 1:07:03Mark you, that's not why we're here.
1:07:03 > 1:07:08Oh, no. We're here to see Heath House, a grand, Gothic mansion
1:07:08 > 1:07:09with a fascinating past,
1:07:09 > 1:07:12one which tells the story of an ambitious young wife,
1:07:12 > 1:07:14a family divided,
1:07:14 > 1:07:19and the house that used to stand here being completely demolished.
1:07:19 > 1:07:23- Good afternoon.- Hi, Jonathan, very nice to see you. Come on in.
1:07:23 > 1:07:26Today, the estate is owned by Ben Philips,
1:07:26 > 1:07:30the great-great-great grandson of the people who had it built,
1:07:30 > 1:07:35John Burton Philips and his flamboyant wife, Joanna.
1:07:35 > 1:07:39This is the inner hall and I think my ancestor, Joanna Philips,
1:07:39 > 1:07:43when she built the house, she wanted to create an impression for her guests when they walked through,
1:07:43 > 1:07:46and here it is!
1:07:47 > 1:07:49Now, Joanna was an Essex girl,
1:07:49 > 1:07:54who quite fancied having the biggest and grandest home money could buy,
1:07:54 > 1:07:57so shortly after her pa-in-law passed away,
1:07:57 > 1:08:01she took what was his rather fine Georgian home and demolished it.
1:08:01 > 1:08:05In its place, she built this Victorian showpiece,
1:08:05 > 1:08:09- with more than 60 rooms. - She was very ahead of her time.
1:08:09 > 1:08:14- The old Georgian house was pulled down in 1835.- She didn't like that?
1:08:14 > 1:08:16No, she absolutely didn't.
1:08:16 > 1:08:19Having been brought up in a Georgian house herself,
1:08:19 > 1:08:22she was sick to death of it and she just wanted the most modern,
1:08:22 > 1:08:27most fashionable, most avant-garde that she could get hold of.
1:08:27 > 1:08:31The tragedy was that most of the furniture and pictures in the old Georgian house,
1:08:31 > 1:08:33I think she either gave away or sold.
1:08:33 > 1:08:39Though allowing Joanna to raze the family home to the ground proved controversial, to say the least.
1:08:39 > 1:08:41The old man died in 1834.
1:08:41 > 1:08:43He was scarcely cold in his grave
1:08:43 > 1:08:45when Joanna commissioned the other one...
1:08:45 > 1:08:49Her sisters-in-law were so furious at what she'd done
1:08:49 > 1:08:53- that they never came to the new house, never spoke to her.- Really?!
1:08:53 > 1:08:55It caused a real rift in the family, yeah.
1:08:55 > 1:09:00- What a lady!- Yes! She knew what she wanted.
1:09:00 > 1:09:02The house took four years to complete
1:09:02 > 1:09:07and in the 170 years that have passed since then,
1:09:07 > 1:09:09many of the rooms have barely changed,
1:09:09 > 1:09:14though each generation has added to its interesting history.
1:09:14 > 1:09:17For example, it was a military hospital in World War Two,
1:09:17 > 1:09:24it's been visited by Florence Nightingale and there's even a connection to Queen Victoria.
1:09:24 > 1:09:27These items were given by Queen Victoria to my great aunt,
1:09:27 > 1:09:28Countess Blucher.
1:09:28 > 1:09:31She had a child who died in infancy. Victoria lost Albert...
1:09:31 > 1:09:38- So that's kind of the connection? - Absolutely. The two ladies were bonded in grief, I suppose.
1:09:38 > 1:09:40Victoria was a great one for grieving.
1:09:40 > 1:09:41Oh, huge, huge.
1:09:41 > 1:09:43- Can I have a look at some of this? - Yes.
1:09:43 > 1:09:47- So that's Victoria and Albert in the middle there?- Yes.
1:09:47 > 1:09:50There's a photograph of Albert on the back there.
1:09:50 > 1:09:52"To the Countess Blucher,
1:09:52 > 1:09:58"in remembrance of the best and greatest of princes,
1:09:58 > 1:10:03- "from his broken-hearted widow, Victoria. December 1861."- Wow.
1:10:03 > 1:10:08According to Ben, a visit to this grand old girl isn't complete
1:10:08 > 1:10:12without climbing the 80-foot tower that Joanna Philips insisted
1:10:12 > 1:10:16be incorporated into the design of the house,
1:10:16 > 1:10:20an experience which is breathtaking, in all senses of the word.
1:10:23 > 1:10:27I think every house should have one of these. I'd love one at home.
1:10:27 > 1:10:29I don't think the neighbours would approve.
1:10:29 > 1:10:32I should go for a pergola instead.
1:10:32 > 1:10:37Anyway, let's talk about Philip. He's off to his next shop,
1:10:37 > 1:10:41where, again, he's found something he likes right on the doorstep.
1:10:43 > 1:10:44I like that.
1:10:44 > 1:10:45The jammy old devil.
1:10:45 > 1:10:48- Morning.- Morning.- How are you, all right?- Not too bad, you?
1:10:48 > 1:10:51- Philip, good to see you. - Nice to meet you.
1:10:51 > 1:10:52Magpie...
1:10:52 > 1:10:56Don't be fooled by this lovable charm. He's only after a discount.
1:10:56 > 1:10:59- I found this outside.- Yep. - What do you reckon that is?
1:10:59 > 1:11:04- I think it's an old pub sign, made out of aluminium.- Yeah. - And painted up.- Age?
1:11:04 > 1:11:0730, 40 years, maybe? Little bit different.
1:11:07 > 1:11:12- Where's the price ticket on it?- Just there. Round the eye.- Let's look.
1:11:12 > 1:11:15How much?!
1:11:15 > 1:11:19- I like it.- Mm-hm.- But what I want to do is have a look round,
1:11:19 > 1:11:22- and perhaps do a bit of a bulk buy off you.- OK.
1:11:22 > 1:11:24Oh, not that old chestnut!
1:11:24 > 1:11:27Then again, there are some nice pieces in this shop.
1:11:27 > 1:11:32And what makes it different is there's a mix of old and new.
1:11:32 > 1:11:37We've got a lock-up, as well, twice as big as the shop, full of stuff we haven't even been through yet.
1:11:37 > 1:11:40- Really?- Really!
1:11:40 > 1:11:43- Is it that way or that way? - Turn right, sir.
1:11:43 > 1:11:46I've said it before and I'll say it again -
1:11:46 > 1:11:49Philip Serrell, you jammy old devil.
1:11:49 > 1:11:54Just a few miles away, Jonathan's headed for Cromford,
1:11:54 > 1:11:57a town famous for its connection to Richard Arkwright,
1:11:57 > 1:12:01one of the forefathers of the Industrial Revolution.
1:12:01 > 1:12:04Remarkably, Arkwright's cotton mill,
1:12:04 > 1:12:08which, in 1771, was the first to be successfully powered by water,
1:12:08 > 1:12:12is still standing and, today, amongst other things,
1:12:12 > 1:12:14it's home to Heritage Antiques.
1:12:17 > 1:12:19(It's another pair of clogs.)
1:12:19 > 1:12:21Can I not escape the clog,
1:12:21 > 1:12:22by the end of the week?
1:12:24 > 1:12:27As you may recall, several days ago,
1:12:27 > 1:12:29Jonathan was extremely keen to buy this pair...
1:12:29 > 1:12:32You wouldn't take, I dunno, £25 or something for them?
1:12:32 > 1:12:34- No.- Really?
1:12:34 > 1:12:39..but was pipped to the post by Philip, who bought them for 30.
1:12:39 > 1:12:43- Oh, I love you, you're an angel. - Yes.- You are, ever so kind.
1:12:43 > 1:12:48Ah, yes. To add insult to injury, he also made a tidy profit at auction.
1:12:48 > 1:12:50Selling at £60.
1:12:51 > 1:12:55So, now, perhaps Jonathan can have his revenge?
1:12:55 > 1:12:57Well, if you're interested in clogs,
1:12:57 > 1:13:00I do have a genuine pair of mill worker's clogs.
1:13:00 > 1:13:02There we go, look.
1:13:02 > 1:13:07Negotiating on clogs - I'm going to have nightmares about this.
1:13:07 > 1:13:09Be gentle with him, Patrick.
1:13:09 > 1:13:15If I were to buy a pair of clogs - and I'm not suggesting I really want to go down that route again,
1:13:15 > 1:13:17I've only just recovered from it -
1:13:17 > 1:13:20what would be your best price, if you're saying £45?
1:13:20 > 1:13:21I will do those for £30.
1:13:21 > 1:13:25Oh, this is just like groundhog day.
1:13:25 > 1:13:27Ground-CLOG day, actually, Jonathan.
1:13:27 > 1:13:29Stay strong.
1:13:29 > 1:13:32Well, they could do with a polish, I have to say.
1:13:32 > 1:13:34His had quite a bit of finish on them.
1:13:34 > 1:13:37- But these were working footwear. - I can tell, yes.
1:13:37 > 1:13:41- I did resist the urge to polish. - Yeah.
1:13:41 > 1:13:47Just so I can exorcise this week's worth of trauma I've had,
1:13:47 > 1:13:48post Clog-gate,
1:13:48 > 1:13:52I'm going to buy those, if you were to agree to £25.
1:13:54 > 1:13:57I don't mean to make you cry, but this is helping me.
1:13:57 > 1:13:59Yes, I can understand that.
1:13:59 > 1:14:01- OK.- Right, OK. Thank you.
1:14:01 > 1:14:02I'll show him!
1:14:04 > 1:14:05There we go.
1:14:05 > 1:14:08The clog returns.
1:14:09 > 1:14:13Back in Matlock, though...
1:14:13 > 1:14:14Where's he taking me?!
1:14:14 > 1:14:17Welcome to the lock-up.
1:14:17 > 1:14:19Cor, he loves it, the old codger.
1:14:19 > 1:14:22Philip, poking around all this...stuff.
1:14:22 > 1:14:24You ever thought about stocktaking?
1:14:24 > 1:14:27No. I don't think we'd have the time.
1:14:27 > 1:14:29I wouldn't know where to start.
1:14:29 > 1:14:33That's got a few lenses with it. There's no box or anything.
1:14:33 > 1:14:36That's exactly how it's come.
1:14:36 > 1:14:39- Right.- I don't know anything about it whatsoever.
1:14:39 > 1:14:40- You're in good company(!)- Yeah!
1:14:40 > 1:14:43Pur-leeze! Allow me.
1:14:43 > 1:14:47This is what is called a monocular bench microscope
1:14:47 > 1:14:51and it's designed for studying all manner of natural history specimens.
1:14:51 > 1:14:55At auction...I think...
1:14:55 > 1:14:57I would see that making...
1:14:57 > 1:15:00£20 to £40, £30 to £50 - that sort of region.
1:15:00 > 1:15:03If it's 20 to 40 quid, I've got to try and buy it for 15 quid,
1:15:03 > 1:15:05which is nicking it off you.
1:15:05 > 1:15:08- I think I could get more... - I'm sure you could.
1:15:08 > 1:15:10- ..in scrap for the brass.- Yeah.
1:15:10 > 1:15:13That part's brass. That isn't.
1:15:13 > 1:15:16- Can we take it back to the shop with us?- Sure.
1:15:16 > 1:15:18- Cos I've got that lion, as well.- OK.
1:15:18 > 1:15:22And, maybe, Mr Moneybags, you could also rethink that offer.
1:15:22 > 1:15:25Do you know what, Matt?
1:15:25 > 1:15:29Like a lot of things in life, it looks a lot better in the dark.
1:15:29 > 1:15:31Now that is really cheeky.
1:15:31 > 1:15:34- Right.- Right, sir.
1:15:35 > 1:15:39I was being mean when I bid 15 quid for that. Too mean.
1:15:39 > 1:15:41I'd love to buy it for 20 quid, really.
1:15:41 > 1:15:47I'm sure you would. And I'd like to sell it for 20, but I think if you could come a little bit more...
1:15:47 > 1:15:49Um...and you did quite like the lion?
1:15:49 > 1:15:53I think if you come a bit more, I'll chuck the lion in.
1:15:53 > 1:15:57OK, I'll tell you what, I'll give you 25 quid for that and the lion.
1:15:57 > 1:16:01- Nah.- That's a little bit more. - I was going to say 40 for that...
1:16:01 > 1:16:05- How much?! - 40, for that and the lion. - No, I couldn't do that. Honestly.
1:16:05 > 1:16:09I don't think there's great age to that and I just think it's fun.
1:16:09 > 1:16:12- This is my best shot, right - me finished after this.- OK.
1:16:12 > 1:16:15I'll give you 30 quid for the two.
1:16:15 > 1:16:18- You wouldn't stretch to 35? - No, that's me finished.
1:16:18 > 1:16:21- I don't mind if you say no. - Well, I like you
1:16:21 > 1:16:23and I want you to win, so £30.
1:16:23 > 1:16:25- Oh, you're a good man! Really?- Yeah.
1:16:25 > 1:16:30And, with that, this shopping trip is at an end.
1:16:30 > 1:16:31I'm going to take those.
1:16:31 > 1:16:33So, for the last time this week,
1:16:33 > 1:16:38the moment has arrived when our experts must reveal to each other what they've bought.
1:16:38 > 1:16:41Do you know, we've made it to the end.
1:16:41 > 1:16:42I'm exhausted.
1:16:42 > 1:16:44Absolutely exhausted.
1:16:44 > 1:16:47- You start, you start.- Shall I start?
1:16:49 > 1:16:52- That was in the antiques centre.- Yes. - I looked at that.
1:16:52 > 1:16:54- Who's it by?- Pietro.
1:16:54 > 1:16:57There's a touch of the old '30s about it, I'd say.
1:16:57 > 1:16:59It's that really high Deco feel about it.
1:16:59 > 1:17:02It's a bit like the old Wurlitzer, isn't it?
1:17:02 > 1:17:05Cost me £55.
1:17:05 > 1:17:09To be fair, I have sold them for less, but then they have made more.
1:17:09 > 1:17:13In other words, we can safely assume Jonathan's not a great fan.
1:17:13 > 1:17:16There again, he is the man who bought this little lady.
1:17:16 > 1:17:18Meet Clarissa.
1:17:20 > 1:17:25- I'll just cover her legs. Great, isn't it?- Yeah(!) - She also comes with a chair.
1:17:25 > 1:17:30I think that I'm actually... My mind is speechless.
1:17:30 > 1:17:34I'm not sure the market in Wilmslow is going to be ready for Clarissa.
1:17:34 > 1:17:36Yes, quite.
1:17:36 > 1:17:39But perhaps the thing to really excite them is this.
1:17:39 > 1:17:43- Ha-ha! A mangle! - I thought it was cheap.
1:17:43 > 1:17:44How much was it?
1:17:44 > 1:17:4520 quid.
1:17:45 > 1:17:47What do they make?
1:17:48 > 1:17:51The most it can lose me is a tenner.
1:17:51 > 1:17:54Right? And, on a good day, it might make me 20 or 30 quid.
1:17:54 > 1:17:56That's what I thought.
1:17:56 > 1:17:57Excellent.
1:17:57 > 1:17:59Well, you know, I like the optimism.
1:17:59 > 1:18:02- I mean...mangles... - Can I just stop you?
1:18:02 > 1:18:05JP, when we're talking optimism,
1:18:05 > 1:18:08you are so far ahead of me in terms of optimism,
1:18:08 > 1:18:11you are at the cutting edge of optimism. What's next, JP?
1:18:11 > 1:18:14- I really liked that.- That's fun.
1:18:14 > 1:18:18- Little child's food bowl. Sort of 1930s.- I think that's fun.
1:18:18 > 1:18:21- That cost me a tenner. - Oh, that's profit.
1:18:21 > 1:18:23And its companion piece.
1:18:23 > 1:18:27There's a little Chad Valley nine-hole golf course.
1:18:27 > 1:18:32- I think the dish will get your golf clubs out of trouble.- Do you think?
1:18:32 > 1:18:35- Yeah, I do.- I think the golf clubs are worth 15, 20 quid.
1:18:35 > 1:18:36Do you not think so?
1:18:36 > 1:18:38Um...no.
1:18:38 > 1:18:42Ah, well. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
1:18:42 > 1:18:43Speaking of which...
1:18:43 > 1:18:47I really thought this was just so much fun, look.
1:18:47 > 1:18:48What do you reckon?
1:18:48 > 1:18:50It's a pub sign.
1:18:50 > 1:18:53It's kind of fun, a novelty object like this.
1:18:53 > 1:18:56People will stick this sort of thing on the wall,
1:18:56 > 1:18:58- if their surname's Lyon.- Yeah.
1:18:58 > 1:19:00Actually, I bought that and that.
1:19:00 > 1:19:02That, I think is fantastic, right?
1:19:02 > 1:19:05- It's a toothpick holder?- No, no, no.
1:19:05 > 1:19:08It's a little billiards trophy.
1:19:08 > 1:19:10That is really sweet. There we go.
1:19:12 > 1:19:14Just a little sketch, isn't it?
1:19:14 > 1:19:16- But there's so much work involved. - Yeah.
1:19:16 > 1:19:18- What, '20s?- '20s to '30s.
1:19:18 > 1:19:23- '20s, '30s, and it's worth £10 to £20.- I paid £7 for it.- Well, you're home and hosed, aren't you?
1:19:23 > 1:19:26- Ah.- Two little miniature cricket bats.
1:19:26 > 1:19:28- You're a bit batty about cricket. - Yeah.
1:19:28 > 1:19:30Ashes bats.
1:19:30 > 1:19:33And cricket's uber-popular at the minute.
1:19:33 > 1:19:36They're worth...£10 to £15 each,
1:19:36 > 1:19:37£20 to £20?
1:19:37 > 1:19:40I paid £30 for the two
1:19:40 > 1:19:42and I think they'll make 30 to 50.
1:19:42 > 1:19:45Well, you have to admire his confidence.
1:19:45 > 1:19:46This now is my...
1:19:46 > 1:19:48penultimate purchase.
1:19:48 > 1:19:49Tell me about it.
1:19:49 > 1:19:52I don't want to diss my own product, so you can do it for me.
1:19:52 > 1:19:55Er, well, it's about 1880-1890s.
1:19:55 > 1:19:57It's a leather top-hat box.
1:19:57 > 1:19:59Yeah. Not in the finest condition.
1:19:59 > 1:20:01But I think it'll clean up, looking rather nice,
1:20:01 > 1:20:03- with a bit of saddle soap.- Yeah.
1:20:03 > 1:20:07- I've seen them make quite a lot of money. - I've seen them do very well.
1:20:07 > 1:20:11To be blunt, Jonathan could really use the profits.
1:20:11 > 1:20:14I looked on a website and these are called petrological microscopes.
1:20:14 > 1:20:19Realistically, Philip, I think it might make £20 to £30.
1:20:19 > 1:20:22Not quite what Philip was hoping to hear.
1:20:22 > 1:20:23Can he be right?
1:20:23 > 1:20:26My word. Those are lovely, aren't they?
1:20:26 > 1:20:30It's a little pair of cotton mill worker's clogs.
1:20:30 > 1:20:31They're worker's clogs.
1:20:31 > 1:20:33I think these are nice. I like these.
1:20:33 > 1:20:37- I'd have bought these.- Would you? - They've got a great social history.
1:20:37 > 1:20:41I would think that those are probably £20 to £30 worth.
1:20:41 > 1:20:44- I paid £25 for them. - Well, that's all right.- We'll see.
1:20:44 > 1:20:46But I do like those.
1:20:46 > 1:20:48Well, it's quite an eclectic mix.
1:20:48 > 1:20:50But what do our experts really think?
1:20:50 > 1:20:52Go on, put the boot in.
1:20:52 > 1:20:54He's put a lot of money on the one object,
1:20:54 > 1:20:56which is the accordion.
1:20:56 > 1:20:59The microscope could be the thing to run away,
1:20:59 > 1:21:01so he could have done well with that.
1:21:01 > 1:21:03I think the child's bowl is absolutely lovely.
1:21:03 > 1:21:07I can see that doing quite well. And as for Clarissa,
1:21:07 > 1:21:10I think he's been spending too much time on his own.
1:21:12 > 1:21:14After starting this road trip in Sheffield,
1:21:14 > 1:21:18the lads end their journey, and the week, in Wilmslow,
1:21:18 > 1:21:21one of the most affluent areas in Britain.
1:21:21 > 1:21:26And not surprisingly then, it's home to Premiership footballers,
1:21:26 > 1:21:29WAGs, actors and multimillionaires,
1:21:29 > 1:21:33which could bode well at today's auction at Maxwells of Wilmslow.
1:21:33 > 1:21:35Are you feeling confident, JP?
1:21:35 > 1:21:37Ohh, dear.
1:21:37 > 1:21:42Er...I really had hoped that I was going to find the little gem
1:21:42 > 1:21:46- to save my bacon on the last auction. - I thought you brought her with you?
1:21:46 > 1:21:47HE LAUGHS
1:21:47 > 1:21:50Though before auctioneer Max Blackmore takes to the podium,
1:21:50 > 1:21:53what does he think of our experts' choices?
1:21:53 > 1:21:56They're all interesting, quirky items
1:21:56 > 1:22:00and I'm sure we'll have quite a bit of interest in most of them.
1:22:00 > 1:22:01Clarissa -
1:22:01 > 1:22:05we don't often get an opportunity to sell such a nice young lady.
1:22:05 > 1:22:08I think she'll either fly or flop.
1:22:08 > 1:22:13Yes. Philip started this leg with £382.42
1:22:13 > 1:22:18and has gone on to spend £140 on five auction lots.
1:22:18 > 1:22:23Jonathan, meanwhile, began with just £152.80,
1:22:23 > 1:22:27and has spent £124, also on five auction lots,
1:22:27 > 1:22:29all of which he's hoping - nay, praying! -
1:22:29 > 1:22:32will bring about a reversal of his fortunes.
1:22:35 > 1:22:38JP, this is the beginning of the end, isn't it?
1:22:38 > 1:22:39It is, yeah, absolutely.
1:22:39 > 1:22:44- Or is it the end of the beginning? - It's the end...- OK, fine.
1:22:44 > 1:22:48Yes. And now we've got that sorted, let the auction start.
1:22:48 > 1:22:52First up, it's Philip's rather grand accordion.
1:22:52 > 1:22:55I can start this at, um,
1:22:55 > 1:22:56at £15.
1:22:56 > 1:22:58- Ouch.- That's £15 with me.
1:22:58 > 1:22:59At £15.
1:22:59 > 1:23:02At 20, at 25. At 30.
1:23:02 > 1:23:05At £30, commission's out. At 35.
1:23:05 > 1:23:0740, 45.
1:23:07 > 1:23:0850.
1:23:08 > 1:23:10£50.
1:23:10 > 1:23:12I think it's a sort of result.
1:23:12 > 1:23:1455, we're selling to the 'net.
1:23:14 > 1:23:17Anybody else? £55, it is, then.
1:23:17 > 1:23:20I've come all that way to not break even!
1:23:20 > 1:23:23It could've been a lot, lot worse!
1:23:23 > 1:23:27Indeed it could, though, as Philip so rightly points out,
1:23:27 > 1:23:30after commission, I'm afraid, it's a loss.
1:23:30 > 1:23:33Next, it's Clarissa, the woman who's stolen Jonathan's heart
1:23:33 > 1:23:36and, perhaps, his marbles.
1:23:36 > 1:23:38- I like that.- What?
1:23:38 > 1:23:39"A mannequin, 'Clarissa',
1:23:39 > 1:23:42approximately 5'10", GSOH" -
1:23:42 > 1:23:45good sense of humour!
1:23:45 > 1:23:47WLTM - would like to meet - a young Pratt!
1:23:47 > 1:23:51But what the good people of Wilmslow feel?
1:23:51 > 1:23:54Start me off, £40 for Clarissa there.
1:23:54 > 1:23:55£40. £30.
1:23:55 > 1:23:57Come on.
1:23:57 > 1:23:58Oh, come on, someone!
1:23:58 > 1:24:02- £20?- Oh, dear! Perhaps she'll go home with Jonathan.
1:24:02 > 1:24:04His missus will be pleased(!)
1:24:04 > 1:24:07Start me at £10. £10 bid, we're off now. £10.
1:24:07 > 1:24:10I'll go in twos!
1:24:10 > 1:24:1312, 14.
1:24:13 > 1:24:1416.
1:24:16 > 1:24:18You're together. 18.
1:24:18 > 1:24:2220, 22, 25, 28.
1:24:22 > 1:24:23We've got a bidding war going on.
1:24:23 > 1:24:26Yep, maybe there's some hope yet.
1:24:26 > 1:24:2830. 35.
1:24:28 > 1:24:3235, in the orange there, at £35, it's the lady's bid.
1:24:32 > 1:24:35£35 and we're going, all done and selling...
1:24:36 > 1:24:37GAVEL BANGS
1:24:39 > 1:24:42- I redeemed myself a little. - I think you got out of jail, mate.
1:24:42 > 1:24:46I just knew Clarissa would break Jonathan's heart.
1:24:48 > 1:24:50Next, something completely "batty".
1:24:50 > 1:24:54Well, two of them. And they're Philip's 1950s jobbies.
1:24:54 > 1:24:57Let's start at 15, shall we? 15 bid.
1:24:57 > 1:24:5920, 25, 30,
1:24:59 > 1:25:0335. £35.
1:25:03 > 1:25:04Further bids now? At £35.
1:25:04 > 1:25:06All done at £35, then.
1:25:06 > 1:25:09On commission...
1:25:09 > 1:25:11So, it's all going wonderfully well at the moment, isn't it(?)
1:25:11 > 1:25:13This is very unlike you, Philip.
1:25:13 > 1:25:17But looking on the bright side, it is our first profit of the day.
1:25:17 > 1:25:19And the only way, as they say, is up.
1:25:19 > 1:25:23So, let's see what the rather cautious bidders
1:25:23 > 1:25:25make of Jonathan's top-hat box?
1:25:25 > 1:25:28It does look absolutely knackered, though, doesn't it?!
1:25:28 > 1:25:3020 bid, at £20. 30.
1:25:32 > 1:25:35- 35, seated.- At £35. - Keep going. Keep going.
1:25:35 > 1:25:38- At £35. Any further bids now? - Come on, come on!
1:25:38 > 1:25:40It's in the room and selling.
1:25:40 > 1:25:42- 40 bid.- Ooh, there we go.
1:25:42 > 1:25:4745. £45. Seated at 45 and selling this time.
1:25:48 > 1:25:50Hooray!
1:25:50 > 1:25:55- I've never seen anyone get so excited.- £5 profit, that.
1:25:55 > 1:25:58You've gone a bit squeaky, JP.
1:25:58 > 1:26:01Actually, it's a £10 profit before commission,
1:26:01 > 1:26:03but who's counting?
1:26:03 > 1:26:07Up next, the Philip Serrell pub collection.
1:26:07 > 1:26:08After all,
1:26:08 > 1:26:12who wouldn't want their own lion masthead and billiards trophy(?)
1:26:12 > 1:26:1530? 25? Come on, start me somewhere.
1:26:15 > 1:26:2020? 20 bid in the front there. Thank you very much. £20.
1:26:20 > 1:26:23At £20. Any further bids now? The billiard trophy and the pub sign.
1:26:23 > 1:26:24Any further bids?
1:26:24 > 1:26:28In the front row, selling then, for £20.
1:26:28 > 1:26:31- It's a profit. - Yeah, well, it's a 100% profit.
1:26:31 > 1:26:37Yes, well done, Philip. That's big money. Especially for you two.
1:26:37 > 1:26:43Perhaps Jonathan's locomotive sketch can finally stir some excitement.
1:26:43 > 1:26:47Start me somewhere then. 10, if you like. Start me at 10?
1:26:47 > 1:26:5010 bid, with the lady. At £10.
1:26:50 > 1:26:52Further bids now at 10.
1:26:52 > 1:26:55- Any further bids? £10, I have. - Oh, come on!- All done.
1:26:55 > 1:26:58You are racing away now, aren't you?
1:26:58 > 1:27:00JONATHAN SIGHS
1:27:00 > 1:27:04Yep, I won't lie to you. It's not looking good.
1:27:04 > 1:27:09But let's see if Philip's mangle from Matlock can make some moolah.
1:27:09 > 1:27:12Start me off for it. £30. What about this one, then?
1:27:12 > 1:27:14£30 for the mangle?
1:27:14 > 1:27:2020. Start me at 10, then. £10 for a cast-iron mangle.
1:27:20 > 1:27:23- Go for a fiver.- This is going wonderfully well, isn't it(?)
1:27:23 > 1:27:24Sell it for a pound.
1:27:24 > 1:27:27- £5 then.- He's getting lower!- Please.
1:27:27 > 1:27:29We're in trouble now.
1:27:29 > 1:27:30- 5 bid.- Yay!
1:27:30 > 1:27:33There's no interest on the 'net, apparently.
1:27:33 > 1:27:35£5 in the room.
1:27:35 > 1:27:38I think that's a result, really, isn't it?
1:27:38 > 1:27:41You know, I think we're going to have to lock the doors
1:27:41 > 1:27:44and shake the money from the bidders' pockets.
1:27:44 > 1:27:45No?
1:27:45 > 1:27:48All right then. Moving on. This one's for the kids.
1:27:48 > 1:27:53It's Jonathan's alphabet bowl and Chad Valley golf set.
1:27:53 > 1:27:55For the children's items, 12.
1:27:55 > 1:27:5815, 18, 20.
1:27:58 > 1:28:02£20 with me. Somebody over here. We're up to fives now. 25.
1:28:02 > 1:28:05£25. We're in fives. Commission's out.
1:28:05 > 1:28:06Your bid of 25, madam.
1:28:06 > 1:28:09Further bids now for the little child's bowl and game.
1:28:09 > 1:28:10Surely worth more.
1:28:10 > 1:28:13Any further bids? Up to 25. No interest on the 'net.
1:28:13 > 1:28:15It's to the room, then...
1:28:15 > 1:28:17I think that was cheap.
1:28:19 > 1:28:23- LANCASHIRE ACCENT: - Ah, well, mustn't grumble, eh?
1:28:23 > 1:28:25So, Philip's last hope for this auction,
1:28:25 > 1:28:27his petrological microscope.
1:28:27 > 1:28:30But just quietly, I almost can't bare to look.
1:28:30 > 1:28:31£80.
1:28:31 > 1:28:34No interest at 80. It must be worth that.
1:28:34 > 1:28:36Oh! This is a travesty.
1:28:36 > 1:28:3850 bid. At £50.
1:28:38 > 1:28:4255, 60, 65, 70.
1:28:42 > 1:28:44Ah, that's a bit more like it.
1:28:44 > 1:28:4875 now. It's cheap at £75.
1:28:48 > 1:28:52Further bids now? At £75.
1:28:52 > 1:28:53I'm sort of OK with that,
1:28:53 > 1:28:55but I wouldn't know that it was cheap or dear.
1:28:55 > 1:28:58It's 50... "I'm OK with a £50 profit."
1:28:58 > 1:29:01Yes, come on, Philip, this is cause for celebration.
1:29:01 > 1:29:04Anyone care for a sweet sherry, vicar?
1:29:04 > 1:29:07Though before we pop the cork, attention, bidders,
1:29:07 > 1:29:11there's one last item to go. Yes, Jonathan's fate in this contest
1:29:11 > 1:29:15ultimately comes down to a pair of old clogs.
1:29:15 > 1:29:18I have a bid 20. Any further bids now?
1:29:18 > 1:29:20At £20. We're up to 25 on the' net.
1:29:20 > 1:29:22- £30.- Get in there, JP.
1:29:22 > 1:29:25They were so cheap that everybody threw them out,
1:29:25 > 1:29:26so you don't see them anymore.
1:29:26 > 1:29:29We're in the room at 30, it's against the 'net.
1:29:29 > 1:29:32- Come on, net.- Selling to the room. Any further bids?
1:29:32 > 1:29:35Well, I tickled a fiver out of that one.
1:29:35 > 1:29:40- You did.- I feel like I can... I'm at peace with myself now.
1:29:40 > 1:29:44That's good because, after commission, it's another loss.
1:29:46 > 1:29:49I tell you what, though, it's time for me to buy you a drink.
1:29:49 > 1:29:51- Let's go and count our "earnings". - Come on, mate.
1:29:51 > 1:29:54Our ill-gotten losses.
1:29:57 > 1:30:01Jonathan started this final leg with £152.80
1:30:01 > 1:30:03and, despite it being his last hurrah,
1:30:03 > 1:30:08he went on to make yet another loss, this time £5.10,
1:30:08 > 1:30:13which mean he ends the week on just £147.70.
1:30:16 > 1:30:21Philip, meanwhile, hit the ground running, with £382.42
1:30:21 > 1:30:25and despite a modest profit of £15.80,
1:30:25 > 1:30:31he ends up with a fabulous £398.22, making him this week's grand winner.
1:30:33 > 1:30:37JP, that's the end, there is no more.
1:30:37 > 1:30:39- I know, Philip. - What are we going to do now?
1:30:39 > 1:30:42I don't know. I'll have to go back to my family and my life again.
1:30:42 > 1:30:46You know, it's been an emotional and financial rollercoaster.
1:30:46 > 1:30:50So, where did Jonathan go wrong?
1:30:50 > 1:30:52Let's have a review, shall we?
1:30:52 > 1:30:56- I'm going to beat you by hundreds of pounds.- Ha! Really?
1:30:56 > 1:30:58I'm going to go...
1:30:58 > 1:31:00Shouldn't have done that.
1:31:00 > 1:31:02I buy whatever I see.
1:31:02 > 1:31:03Big mistake.
1:31:03 > 1:31:05Oh, no!
1:31:05 > 1:31:07And then there's...Clarissa!
1:31:07 > 1:31:10You've got beautiful eyes. Yes.
1:31:10 > 1:31:14But most of all, I think he underestimated The Silver Fox.
1:31:14 > 1:31:18Congratulations, Phil, you played a blinder.
1:31:18 > 1:31:20Next week on the Antiques Road Trip,
1:31:20 > 1:31:23we meet the ever-so-crafty Anita Manning...
1:31:23 > 1:31:28- You're not flirting with me, are you, to try and get it cheaper? - Would I flirt with you?
1:31:28 > 1:31:32..and the ever-so-cheeky James Lewis.
1:31:32 > 1:31:36- I'll give you 30 for that. But throw that mallet in. - How cheeky!
