0:00:02 > 0:00:06The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each and one big challenge.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Well, duck, do I buy you or don't I?
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques, as they scour the UK?
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Sold.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17The aim is trade up and hope that each antique turns a profit.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18But it's not as easy as it looks
0:00:18 > 0:00:21and dreams of glory can end in tatters.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25So will it be the fast lane to success
0:00:25 > 0:00:26or the slow road to bankruptcy?
0:00:26 > 0:00:29That's the sweat over.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35# Yeah. #
0:00:35 > 0:00:39This week we're in the capable hands of a pair of auctioneers.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Anita Manning and James Lewis.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I hate this.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- I'd much rather be up there.- I know.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Anita, from Scotland, is a crafty campaigner who buys with her heart.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Never shy of employing her womanly wiles, though, to bag a bargain.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00You're not flirting with me, are you, to try and get it cheaper?
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Would I flirt with you?!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Derbyshire lad James Lewis likes to buy quirky and loves nature.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10He flirts, too, it just doesn't always work.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- I'll give you 30 for that. But throw that mallet in.- How cheeky!
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Our pair begin their road trip with £200 each
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and this week's chariot, a classic 1970s VW Beetle.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- Look at the sky, James. - It's really lovely.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32This week's road trip starts in Pateley Bridge, Yorkshire, and heads south,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34travelling via East Anglia to the West Country
0:01:34 > 0:01:37and concluding in Cirencester.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Today we're kicking things off in Pateley Bridge
0:01:39 > 0:01:43and concluding with an auction showdown in Grimsby.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54James, what a beautiful view and what a beautiful day...
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- It's amazing, isn't it? - ..To start our new adventure.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- The English countryside. - Oh, yes, it's not bad.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04We're going through almost the entire English countryside, aren't we?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Will you be my guide? - I'd love to be.- Lovely.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Let's hope the sun shines on us for the entire journey.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- You know, I think it probably will. - Let's go.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16A small market town in the Yorkshire Dales,
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Pateley Bridge is famous for having one of the oldest sweet shops in England,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24established in 1827.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Well, there we go.- First shop, James.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Your first shop.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Wish me luck, darling. - I wish him luck, the owner.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- Do they know what they've let themselves in for?- I'll be gentle.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Well done. Good luck. Find a treasure.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Bye.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Hello.- Hello, Anita. I'm Derek.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Derek, lovely to meet you.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- This is Aisha. - Lovely to meet you, too.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- The shop looks lovely. - Thank you.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Pleasantries out of the way, Anita goes straight for the jugular.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Is this your one here? - Yeah, that's one of ours.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10This is made by Crown Devon. It's a commemorative jug.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Ordinarily, on these jugs, we tend to have a bit of text
0:03:15 > 0:03:19which tells us about the character, and this one is John Peel.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21This is our John Peel here.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25We've got the handle in the shape of a fox.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33John Peel, nothing to do with the great DJ, was a British huntsman
0:03:33 > 0:03:37made famous by the 19th-century song, D'ye Ken John Peel.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I quite like these Crown Devon jugs
0:03:41 > 0:03:44but I know they've gone off the boil.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49I may be looking to buy it around about £20. Is that possible?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Not really.
0:03:51 > 0:03:58- I'd go down to no less than 25.- 25.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03Is it possible to maybe go to 22?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Actually, it stands me more than that.- Right, OK.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12- Can we go to 25 then?- Yes.- OK.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- That's so kind of you, Derek. Ah, that's great.- 25.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Thank you very much, that's smashing.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Tally Ho, Anita! And she's not stopping there.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24A lamp's caught her eye with a hefty £140 pricetag.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Can I take it over and have a wee look?
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Go through it all, yes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32I find it interesting because of this base.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Probably from the 1920s or 1930s.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39It's made of spelter, not bronze.
0:04:39 > 0:04:46What I like about it is the fact that from there down,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48where we have the aeroplane,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51and it's got almost a sort of art deco motif.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56And, up here, we've got this classical figure.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01What's the very, very, very best you can do on that?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03100.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08- Could you come down nearer 70, Derek?- No way, love.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Couldn't do that?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11My wife would crucify me.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Can you ask her if she would come down?
0:05:13 > 0:05:18- I can maybe get in touch with her. - Say to her that I've offered £80.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20And that would be great.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23If we could do a deal it would be wonderful.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Fingers crossed!
0:05:25 > 0:05:29I would love to buy that. I love the base.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32But I'm thinking that if it's not the right sale,
0:05:32 > 0:05:37I could make a whacking great loss on it.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40So while Derek makes that tricky phone call to his missus,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43let's see what James is up to,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45as he motors just one mile down the road
0:05:45 > 0:05:49to start his shopping in the village of Glasshouses.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Hi, there. Is it Richard? - It is indeed.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Nice to see you, I'm James.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Situated in an old watermill, Country Oak Antiques has evolved
0:06:05 > 0:06:10from over 25 years of collecting and dealing in oak and country furniture.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Sounds expensive, so good luck, James!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14A lot of this is going to be...
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Too large.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18..way out of my price range.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Let's have a look up here.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- How much is a little snuff like that? - That's...
0:06:23 > 0:06:30- I'm going to say £35, that's a definite.- 35.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33A mousetrap. Multi-mousetrap.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Wow, look at that.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36That's 35.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40You could use it for fingers, couldn't you?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- That's interesting.- What is that?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- A mole trap.- Is it really?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46What would that make? It's just...
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- How much is that?- 20.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Is it?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Such a weird thing, what's it worth?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58It's interesting but I hate the thought.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00£20. Yeah.
0:07:00 > 0:07:06- Those together, they could be 30, 45.- Not even close.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- This is the... - We're not even close.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Erm.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14See that at that price, 45 for the two,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17is what I see them, high-end retail.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20OK, I think we are going to struggle.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Don't worry, leave me to it. - I'll leave you to it.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I'll have a wander for five minutes but...
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Erm.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I'm struggling.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Oh, dear. Poor old James.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Back in Pateley Bridge,
0:07:39 > 0:07:43it's the moment of truth for Anita and her expensive lamp.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45How are we doing, Derek?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Seeing it's you, £80.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Ah! You're a darling!
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Thank you so much, that's lovely.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57So that's two items, but it looks like Anita's after even more.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01These are rather sweet, and they were very popular,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I would say five, six, seven years ago.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08But they're at a reasonable price. They are Tunstall.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Tunstall is one of the six towns that make up the English potteries.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15And the birthplace of several famous potters.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18This one is hand-painted.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21It's entitled "Luscious."
0:08:21 > 0:08:23If I can get them for the right price
0:08:23 > 0:08:27then I'm hoping that someone else will like them.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32I'm going to see if I can get two for the price of one.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36That'll be £6.45 then. Good luck.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41I wondered if it was possible to have two for the price of one.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47£9 for them both. You'll make money at auction.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- I've got to go for that, haven't I?- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51I've got to go for that.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53You'll make money at auction.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56That's the third deal gone there, that's great.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Good going!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Your first shop and you've bagged four items.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03How is James doing? Not still struggling, we hope.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Ah, a salt box.
0:09:05 > 0:09:11This little box, classic design. Typical of its type.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Made around 1850, something like that.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20But the design really didn't change from the early 1700s -
0:09:20 > 0:09:261720 to 1730 - all the way through until the early 20th century.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I have to say, it's a bog standard model
0:09:30 > 0:09:34but if I can get it for a good price there might be a profit.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Browsed out, James decides to make a move.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41If there's something that you've had for ages that you think,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44well, it's interesting but I've had it for a long time and I...
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- The mole trap. - Why doesn't that surprise me?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49It's not been particularly for sale.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51That's 15.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I can't actually remember what I paid for the bloomin' thing!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56That's good news. I bet you paid two quid for it.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59That could be £10.
0:09:59 > 0:10:0010 quid.
0:10:00 > 0:10:06- Um...- Well, it's a completely insane object.
0:10:06 > 0:10:15- £15 for a mousetrap or something. - £15, OK. £15 for a mousetrap, £10 for a mole trap.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17How much could you do one of these boxes for?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21The very... The very best on that would have to be 20.
0:10:21 > 0:10:2520. All right, OK.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- You've worn me... - You want 20 for that?- Yes.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- You want 15 for that?- Yes.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35- 35, I'll take the three. - No, it'll have to be 40.
0:10:35 > 0:10:3838, you got a deal.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42For the sake of £2... to get rid of you!
0:10:42 > 0:10:47- Deal!- By gum.- Thanks. - By gum indeed.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56Back on the road, and Anita is travelling 15 miles south-east to Knaresborough.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03This historic market town on the River Nidd is home
0:11:03 > 0:11:08to what's allegedly Britain's oldest tourist attraction.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Fiona, this is an area of outstanding beauty.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14But tell me, what is that?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Well, it's the largest petrifying well in the country.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22It has lots of teddy bears, a lobster hanging there.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- All petrifying. - Tell me, how does this happen?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Well, basically water travels from an underground lake.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32And what's unique is the formation of the high mineral contents
0:11:32 > 0:11:34is just sufficient to turn things to stone.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Could you tell me what are these two big sort of bumps here in the rock?
0:11:39 > 0:11:46They're a Victorian top hat and a bonnet left, um, in the... about 150 years ago.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48And they've just petrified over.
0:11:50 > 0:11:56I can imagine in the middle ages, people coming here
0:11:56 > 0:12:00and seeing this and thinking that it had magical qualities.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Was that the case? - It was absolutely the case.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06They did think the devil lived down here
0:12:06 > 0:12:08cos everything literally turned to stone.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11That didn't put the tourists off though,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14since as early as 1538, folk have headed here for what they believed
0:12:14 > 0:12:20were the healing powers of the waters, and to see familiar objects turned to stone.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22# I turn to stone
0:12:22 > 0:12:26# When you were gone I turn to stone... #
0:12:27 > 0:12:31What a strange sight.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Hats here, dolls, a rocking horse.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37That's right, we've got some famous ones as well.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Can you let me have a look? - Have a look.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Look at this!- Agatha Christie's handbag.- How did that come here?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Well it was actually donated by the Agatha Christie Society.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50We've got John Wayne's hat. That's Debbie McGee's rabbit.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54I hope it wasn't a live one used in the show, but I'm sure it wasn't.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59Queen Mary's shoe, which she came... In the 1920s, she often visited the park.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04But it would be lovely to get some more up-to-date shoes from the Royal Family.
0:13:07 > 0:13:13And just around the corner is the birthplace of Knaresborough's very own celebrity.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Mother Shipton was born in 1488 in this cave.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20And the saying is that when she was born,
0:13:20 > 0:13:24there was a thunderstorm and there was a real strong smell of sulphur.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30And the baby, when she came out was quite deformed, witchified, crooked features.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33And as she grew up, she always had to walk with a stick.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37That's when people thought, "Ooh, she's a bit scary looking", I'm sure.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41And especially in a sort of creepy place like this.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Young Ursula was soon adopted, but she always was a little odd,
0:13:45 > 0:13:51growing up to become a soothsayer who apparently foretold all sorts of inventions and events.
0:13:51 > 0:13:58Samuel Pepys wrote a diary. In that she did foretell the Fire of London.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02And when it happened, he said, "Mother Shipton's word is out."
0:14:02 > 0:14:06They do say that Mother Shipton even prophesised
0:14:06 > 0:14:11when the world would end, plumping for 1981.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13But she did get quite a lot right.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Also apparently predicted the telephones, um,
0:14:16 > 0:14:20that steel would float on water, which obviously it does now.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25Um, the potato. You've got lots of fascinating stories being told.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Whether they're true or not, who knows?
0:14:28 > 0:14:34Meanwhile, back in Pateley Bridge I predict that James is just about to end an antique shop.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42There! What did I tell you?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Whoa! I didn't see that coming though.
0:14:49 > 0:14:55So, the hat fits. Good nick, too. But what will it cost him?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- 175.- Oh, are they? Oh!
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Don't look so shocked!
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Oh, well, anything else?
0:15:02 > 0:15:07Next up, a little desk calendar with a price of £68.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12The interesting thing about this is it's made to look like tortoiseshell,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14but it's plastic, faux tortoiseshell.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18But it's also moulded with the Michelin man to the left,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22which is probably the most famous character in advertising.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25And just happens to look rather like a certain auctioneer and valuer.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Um, this old chap here, Father Time,
0:15:28 > 0:15:33um, is obviously magnifying the date aperture here.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36It's quite a smart thing, and it's also the sort of thing
0:15:36 > 0:15:38that would appeal to advertising collectors.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42But... I don't know.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45What would be your best on that?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I think, um, probably...
0:15:49 > 0:15:54I can do that for...£40.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59If I think it's going to make 30 at auction, that's not going to help me, is it?!
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Well, it's a bit of advertising. - It is, it is, it is, it is.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Mm, think about that. What else has Linda got?
0:16:06 > 0:16:0919th century presentation mallet.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14"Presented to Anita Manning, to hit over James's head
0:16:14 > 0:16:17"when she thrashes him on Antiques Road Trip."
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Oh, I think we're getting somewhere.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27- That's 40. What's your best? - My absolute best would be 30.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34What would be your best on a top hat? Did you buy it well?
0:16:34 > 0:16:39That always helps. A casual nod there!
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Jamesie is encouraged!
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- Do you want the absolute death? - The absolute.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51- With no renegotiation on the price? - Yeah, go on then.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- £60.- Oh!
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I am giving it to you, James.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Just about. That's £115 off the original price.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- How many people in Grimsby go to Royal Ascot?- Not many.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10OK. Thinking hat on. Will a top deal follow?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I'll give you 60 for that, I'll give you 30 for that.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18But throw that mallet in. How about that?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- How cheeky!- I'm just thinking...
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- I might hit you over the head with it yet!- Go on.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Yes, go on, do us all a favour.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Reluctantly.- Got a deal. Thank you.- OK.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Night, night, you two. And do hang on to that topper.
0:17:38 > 0:17:44Day two and Anita and James have already got plenty stowed away in the boot of that Beetle.
0:17:44 > 0:17:51- So what did you buy yesterday? - Oh, I got these absolutely wonderful things, James, for next to nothing.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- Yeah? Yeah.- I'm only kidding!
0:17:55 > 0:18:00So far, Anita has spent £114 on four items, including some jugs and a lamp,
0:18:00 > 0:18:05leaving her with £86 to spend today.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10I don't know if I'll make or lose on that, but I want to take the chance on it because it's got style!
0:18:10 > 0:18:16While James has splashed out £128 on six items, including a salt box,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19a mallet, a top hat and various traps...
0:18:19 > 0:18:22It's a completely insane object.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26..Leaving him with £72 to spend today.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28100. Lovely, thank you. There we are.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33They're making for an auction in Grimsby,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36but calling in first at York.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Situated where the River Ouse meets the Foss,
0:18:41 > 0:18:46the city is renowned for its Roman, Viking and medieval heritage.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Iconic York Minster Cathedral in the centre of the city
0:18:49 > 0:18:52is one of the largest of its kind in northern Europe.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Plus, there's a former banana warehouse.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00This is our guard of honour!
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Do you think he will do a deal, James?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I think, Anita, you can get anyone to do a deal!
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Listen, I think we'd better get in and start rummaging. - Hang on, Anita.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15- Do you want to go in the main entrance just there? I'll go in the secondary one.- Hey!
0:19:16 > 0:19:21Ah, now this is the sort of place where you might get a bargain.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Where, if you ask what's on the telly, they reply,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27"A couple of rugs and a bookcase!"
0:19:27 > 0:19:30That's got a bit of age to it, hasn't it?
0:19:30 > 0:19:35A lot of people bought their TVs for the first time ever when the Queen was crowned.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I bet that's what that was bought for.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Actually, this one dates from a bit later, 1955,
0:19:41 > 0:19:45when ITV began broadcasting. Might have been bought
0:19:45 > 0:19:48for the first edition of The Benny Hill Show, perhaps.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51It's a funny old thing, but I like to buy weird things.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- So how much is that, 20 quid? - Yeah, 20 quid, yeah.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Will you take a tenner for it?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Go on then.- Yeah?- Yeah. - In that case you have got a deal. You've got a deal.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04God knows what I'm going to do that!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Anita, meanwhile, has gone all 60s.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Groovy, baby.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16I like these sort of quirky items from that period.
0:20:16 > 0:20:22And I quite like plastic. I think plastic is a very good medium for some things.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- And, of course, perfect for napkin rings.- Yeah.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30While she's thinking about those rings, Anita spots something else.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Asking price, £80.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I kind of like him, Dave. I kind of like him.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Can you do a deal on him?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Try me.- OK.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43But don't be cruel, Anita.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48I'd like to... I'd like to be paying around 25 for him.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- That's what I'd like to be paying. - You don't want me to earn any profit, do you?- Och, yeah.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- I'll tell you what I will do, I'll take 35 for it.- Right.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58But that's it. I won't go down any further.
0:20:58 > 0:21:04- I'll tell you what, if I have a wee look at the wee napkin rings...- OK.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08..and bring them over, and maybe we can do a wee deal?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Knocking me down on them as well? - Aw!- Ah, well, it's now or never.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15These are sort of funky little things.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17What I would like to pay for them is less than 10.
0:21:17 > 0:21:23- I reckon if you wanted to bid me 18, you might be... - Aw, that's too much.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I know I wouldn't get that.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- 12?- No. 15 will be enough.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32That's all right now. Surely, Anita?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Can you give me both of them for 45?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40You're an hard bargainer. I mean, I want your money.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45You want my money. I want you to give you my money. Go on, 45 for the two?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- Go on.- Aw, you're a darling. - Seeing as it's you. - You're a darling!
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Thanks very much.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51There she goes again.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54But whilst Anita gets her latest bargains giftwrapped,
0:21:54 > 0:21:58James has split from the banana warehouse and headed elsewhere
0:21:58 > 0:22:02in historic York, to see the home of the Lord Mayor, actually.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- Richard.- Hello.- James. Nice to see you. Thank you.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Welcome to the first purpose-built Mansion House for a Lord Mayor in the country.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23This one predates London by at least a decade.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Although the Mansion House was built in the 18th century,
0:22:27 > 0:22:31there have been Mayors of York since 1147.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34The first one was called Mayor Nigel.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37And to my right is probably the most famous Lord Mayor.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42- Oh really, who was that?- George Hudson, the railway king.- Ah, yes!
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Gosh! That's a smart room, isn't it?
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Lots of major cities in the UK now have a Lord Mayor.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Just as the Queen symbolically heads up the country,
0:22:56 > 0:23:02so the Lord Mayor impresses locally with municipal pomp and circumstance.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06This is relatively untouched. And this is why the house is here,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09for this one great banqueting space.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12This was meant to be the most architecturally perfect,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15and really the room to give the wow factor of York.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19But it's not just architecture that helps the Lord Mayor of York to impress.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24On the wall, we have some important pieces of the city regalia.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27The mace is the thing that strikes me first.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32This one, interestingly enough, was made in 1647 in the Civil War period.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Civil War, parliamentarian,
0:23:34 > 0:23:39Cromwell, rebellion against all the opulence that went with King Charles I.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42And then under his watch, they make this.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44That's Yorkshire people for you!
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- Now the coat of arms at the top... - Look at that!- ..is of Charles II.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50They still take this on ceremonial...?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Yeah, in front of carriages. One of the swords
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- is carried in front of the Lord Mayor.- Wonderful.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Although the fighting mace went out with the use of heavy armour,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03this ornamental version could be used as a bludgeon.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- Do you have it insured? - Everything is insured.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12Also in the collection is one very special cup from 1672.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Charles II has been returned to the throne of England, Cromwell is dead.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21And they are returning to a little bit of pomp and ceremony.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- And...- A bit of frivolity. - A bit of frivolity.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26This ceremonial goblet has a Christian origin,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29but similar items are found throughout history.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34I've never seen a gold chalice, ever, um, like this.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39And to see a York one in York, is... is just outstanding.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44- I think that's one of the nicest things I've seen in a long time. - Good.- That's lovely.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48But the fortunate Lord Mayor of York has one other great symbol of state.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52This mighty medieval sword.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57What an amazing blade.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Gosh.- Would you like to.. - Yeah, I'd love to. Yeah.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02..have a closer look?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Wow. That is incredible.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09What's going on in England in 1416?
0:25:09 > 0:25:14- Wars against France.- Yeah.- Henry V and Sigismund are really big friends.
0:25:14 > 0:25:20And it seems that Sigismund is actually... JAMES EXHALES SHARPLY
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- It's one of...- What an amazing...
0:25:23 > 0:25:27It's probably one of the most famous items that we have in the house.
0:25:27 > 0:25:33For me, antiques are all about the tingle, that feeling that you get.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38Occasionally you pick something up that... Gosh, that's amazing.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Meanwhile, back at the warehouse, Anita has carried on shopping
0:25:45 > 0:25:48when, suddenly, bingo!
0:25:48 > 0:25:49I think this is quite good fun.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I don't play bingo myself.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- I wouldn't know, it's too complicated for me.- It's good.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- I think that this is fun. - I think there's about 15 missing.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Do you know what else I like, Dave, I like the fact that we have this label,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06which gives it a really wee bit of character.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- And it was made in Newcastle-on-Tyne.- Right.- Yeah.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Tell me how much it is.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16If you really want to buy it, I'll let you have it at £25,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18but that's absolute rock-bottom price.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22We're not doing any bidding at that. It's £25.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Sold.- OK? - SHE LAUGHS
0:26:24 > 0:26:27That was a quick sale. I like you, you can come again.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Now, shopping done, who's going first?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34A fairly standard, old spelter figure.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Ah. I like him.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Do you?!
0:26:38 > 0:26:42It's that contrast between a figure that is inspired by the Art Nouveau,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45which normally takes its influences from nature,
0:26:45 > 0:26:49and that very harsh, mechanical modernism
0:26:49 > 0:26:52that it's compared and contrasting with.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- I like him.- Impressed. But what will Anita make of his first lot?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Mice.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01And that was in one corner. It's an old mousetrap.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03What is that?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05It's a mole-killing device.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10James, I'm so happy that you bought that, because it's totally and absolutely crazy.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15- And I love it to bits. How much did you pay for it?- They came with this.
0:27:18 > 0:27:24- That's a nice little box.- It's OK. I'll put those as one lot.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Absolute junk, mind you,
0:27:26 > 0:27:30so if that makes a profit it'll be a miracle.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I'm lost for words. I think they're great. They're curios.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Now for Anita's far-out dining aid.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39..Which I quite liked.
0:27:39 > 0:27:45It's a little set of 20th-century plastic napkin rings.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49These would be '40s, '50s, something like that.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51I paid £15 for those.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- I might not make anything on it, but I enjoyed buying them.- They're fun.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- I like those. - Next, James's titfer.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00And it is a genuine moleskin hat,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03probably caught by the mole trap I had earlier(!)
0:28:03 > 0:28:07But, um, that was £60.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10£60. Well, good luck to you, darling.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14That doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement. What about her jugs?
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- John Peel.- Is it a musical one?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18It's not a musical one, which is a shame.
0:28:18 > 0:28:24And the other two things, from the 1930s, it's Hancock.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28The Luscious range, Luscious.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29Luscious, like you.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Hand-painted, not a big deal,
0:28:32 > 0:28:36but I thought if I put those together as a wee lot.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- That's the nicest one, isn't it? - Yeah. And I paid £34 for them.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- There's got to be a profit there. - A couple of pounds.- More than that.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- I reckon a £20 profit there. - Thank you, darling.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49James, you old charmer, let's see what she makes of your calendar.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54I like these items, James. I really like them. Tell me about them.
0:28:54 > 0:29:00- That, I thought, "I'll have it, just so that I can add it to my box."- Good idea.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04That will go with the salt box, so it makes a more interesting lot.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09- And that will go on its own. - I think that's a lovely wee thing.
0:29:09 > 0:29:15- To me it's Art Deco.- Yeah. - And I love the Michelin Man here.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Looks a little bit like me.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21No, he doesn't. And it's in good condition, James.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- I do like that.- Whether there's a profit in it, I don't know.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27We'll find out at the auction.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32- Lovely. Now show some respect for the King.- It's dear old...
0:29:32 > 0:29:37- You know who it is.- Do you know, this little chap and I share a birthday.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- Oh, really? - We're both January 8th.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- You're both good looking. - You are so nice.
0:29:43 > 0:29:48- I know.- How much was he? - I paid 30 quid. It's probably miles too much,
0:29:48 > 0:29:50but we might get two Elvis fans going for it.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52That's all it needs.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Time for the state-of-the-art telly.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57SHE LAUGHS
0:29:57 > 0:29:59HE GROANS
0:30:00 > 0:30:02I think my mum used to have one of those.
0:30:02 > 0:30:09Well, I saw this and I just thought, "It's a classic of its time."
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- What did you pay for it, James? - Well...
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- 10 quid.- 10 quid.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- That's a bargain, James. - It was a tenner.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21At £10. You will make profit.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- Hopefully. It's not going to make less.- That's a great buy, James.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29- That is a great buy. - What about Anita's popular pastime?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32That is great fun.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38- It's an old bingo call, I would imagine.- Yeah.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42And we turn this, the balls roll.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43I love it.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47It's kind of good fun, isn't it? It might even win the lottery.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48HE LAUGHS
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Do you know...I doubt it.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55On that note, it's time to hear what they really think.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58A mouse catcher, a mole killer,
0:30:58 > 0:31:02I actually think that the guy made that up.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05What they'll do in auction is anyone's guess.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08The ball machine, that is great fun.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12You can imagine anyone from a WI to a bingo caller,
0:31:12 > 0:31:14I think there's a profit in that.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19After starting out at Pateley Bridge in Yorkshire,
0:31:19 > 0:31:23this leg of our trip will conclude in Lincolnshire, at Grimsby.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26They have kept a parking space just for us.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Let's hope we're as lucky in the auction, James.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33HE LAUGHS
0:31:33 > 0:31:36HE GROANS How do you feel?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Resigned to it!
0:31:38 > 0:31:43- Are you getting a bit rattled? - I don't think I should have bought that top hat, I really don't.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46And so, while the Yellowbellies,
0:31:46 > 0:31:49as they sometimes call people from Lincolnshire, take a look,
0:31:49 > 0:31:53let's hear what auctioneer Paul Hallam makes of our lots.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59The mousetrap, which is dated from the late 19th century,
0:31:59 > 0:32:03and a mole catcher, an unusual item to bring to the sale room,
0:32:03 > 0:32:08but, for its quirkiness, I can see it doing between £20 and £40.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10The ball-draw machine,
0:32:10 > 0:32:14the good thing about it is embossed with the maker's label. It's quirky.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19I can see someone paying between £30 and £50 for it.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Our experts began this journey with £200 each and, over the last two days,
0:32:25 > 0:32:30Anita has spent a total of £184 on five auction lots.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36As for James, he took his £200 allowance
0:32:36 > 0:32:40and spent a little bit less - £138, also on five lots.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Strap yourself in, and hold on tight, the auction is about to take off.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Our first lot up is that television.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54It looks wonderful.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59I thought you were going to get a photograph of yourself to stick on the front.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01I want it to sell, not bomb!
0:33:02 > 0:33:06- OK, James, you're on. - £20.- £20.- 22, can I see?
0:33:08 > 0:33:13- 22, anywhere now? Come on, it's a classic TV.- Come on, come on.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Come on, we're geeing it up.
0:33:15 > 0:33:1922, I have. 22. 25 anywhere now?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22If not, I'm selling at £22.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27- Hurray!- That's not too bad. - That's a good start.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28You wouldn't believe
0:33:28 > 0:33:32how much passion can be involved in £22. My word!
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Hard to imagine a flatscreen fetching that
0:33:35 > 0:33:40in about 50 years' time. Still. Now for Anita's combined lot.
0:33:40 > 0:33:45And H&K. What shall we say, £40 for them? Come on.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49- Come on.- Come on!- 20, then.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53£20 bid. 22? 22, I have.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Go on.- Yes!- Sorry, 27.
0:33:56 > 0:33:5830 anywhere now?
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Come on! Anita's jugs are worth more than that! Come on!
0:34:04 > 0:34:0528.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- 28. 29.- Ah!
0:34:07 > 0:34:1130. Nice one. 31.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15I'm selling, then. Oh, 32. Fresh bidder. 33? 33.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Yes.- 34? 34.
0:34:18 > 0:34:24- 35.- Yes!- 36. 37. - Yes!- 38. £38 bid.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- 40.- Yes!- £40 bid. 42.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Thank you, Grimsby.
0:34:29 > 0:34:36£42 bid, with the gentleman on my left. Selling at £42.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Yes!- 934.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42I'm very, very pleased with that.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Can you guess that was one of their lots?!
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Yup, sorry about that, they do tend to get over-excited.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Well done, Anita, after commission, that's a small profit.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53I need a lie down.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Now, a little less conversation, please, it's Anita's Elvis.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02£30 for him. 10, then.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05£10 bid.
0:35:05 > 0:35:0912. 14. 16.

0:35:30 > 0:35:34You're not going to be outdone. 47 anywhere? Yes. 47.
0:35:34 > 0:35:3950, can I see? If not, I'm selling at £47.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- Yes!- Well done.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44I think we can say Elvis has left the building.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48- Well done. Brilliant. That's good news.- Yup.
0:35:48 > 0:35:53Yup. That £17 profit brings you into the lead, Anita.
0:35:53 > 0:35:58Next up is James's combo, the salt box and the treen mallet.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01£20, I'm bid. 22.
0:36:01 > 0:36:0625. 27. 28. 28.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33If not, I'm selling at £46.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- Yeah, you've made profit, James.- Just.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39A profit's a profit and with two lots each,
0:36:39 > 0:36:42you're currently edging out in front, James.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Now, time for James's calendar.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48The auctioneer said that he had interest in it.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49- £70.- BOTH: 70!
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- £70. Straight in at 70. 75, can I see?- It's a good feeling.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01£70. 75. £75 bid.
0:37:01 > 0:37:0485. 85. 90, can I see?

0:37:09 > 0:37:14If not, I'm selling for £85.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- I'm happy with that. That's good. - That's wonderful.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21Phew. It takes the pressure off a bit, doesn't it?
0:37:21 > 0:37:25What a great result, James. You're storming into the lead.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- That's a healthy profit. - A good profit.
0:37:29 > 0:37:36Right, 145 is the set of six retro napkin rings. £20.
0:37:36 > 0:37:3820, straight in.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39Can I see 22 anywhere?
0:37:39 > 0:37:4322? 22, 25. 27.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04- 36.- Yes!

0:38:20 > 0:38:25- Well fought.- Yes! I'm absolutely delighted.- That's a great result.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Yep, fab, keep this up and you'll catch him in no time.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- Bags of style.- Yeah.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33I wonder if they'll have enough style
0:38:33 > 0:38:36to buy a 19th-century mousetrap?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38I wonder!
0:38:38 > 0:38:41£20. 22, can I see?
0:38:41 > 0:38:44£20 bid. 22 anywhere now?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- £20 bid. 22.- There we go.

0:38:54 > 0:38:59£42. 45 anywhere? If not, I'm selling at £42.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Thank you so much.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- Miracles happen. - You got away with that.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Great profit, James, and watch out, furry mammals of Lincolnshire.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14What did I say? The market loves the weird and the wacky.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16And where are you going to find another one?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- That's what I say.- Where would you want to find another one?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- SHE LAUGHS - True.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Quite. And the same principle
0:39:23 > 0:39:26probably applies to your bingo machine.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27£40 for it.
0:39:27 > 0:39:32- 25.- 25, straight in. Breaking even straightaway.
0:39:32 > 0:39:3530. 32. 35.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57£50, I'm bid. 55. 51.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00£51, I'm bid. It's going to be hard.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03You're not wrong. We could be here all night if this keeps up.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Where are we, ah, stuck in a tree, 53.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10£53. £53, I'm bid. 54, fresh bidder.
0:40:10 > 0:40:1455, can I see? 55, yes 55. 56.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37I'm selling at £62.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- Yes! Well done.- That's a great result.- I'm pleased with that.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45- More than doubled your money. - Yeah.- 62, tickety-boo.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Excellent, excellent.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51With two lots to go, James is £32 ahead.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53His top hat's up next.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57- Here it is.- Size 7 5/8, the most popular size, I believe.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00And I can start the bidding at £60.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- £60 with me.- 60 straight in.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06£60 with me. 65 anywhere now?
0:41:06 > 0:41:09I think you're going to be goaded somewhere. £60 with me.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11They're not looking impressed.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14They paid £1,000 for one of these in The Apprentice.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17We're selling, then, at £60.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Ah, James, it's wiped its face.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22I shouldn't have brought it.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26He did his best. If nobody bids, nobody bids. £60, well...
0:41:26 > 0:41:31Nobody in the room that goes to Ascot. Can't blame them, either.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Yeah, but after commission, that's a loss.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39193, a 20th-century spelter lamp with flame shade.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Anita, this is your chance to steal victory.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45It all comes down to your most expensive purchase.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- Come on.- Come on, guys.
0:41:48 > 0:41:5118. 20. And 2.

0:42:11 > 0:42:17£55, I'm bid. 60 anywhere now? Selling, then, at £55.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Ah!
0:42:19 > 0:42:20- Ah.- Well.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23It wasn't as bad as it could have been, James.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25It could've been worse, couldn't it?
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Oh, well, never mind, there's a long way to go.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Today's leg, however, belongs to James Lewis.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Both up.- Uh-huh.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37Our experts started today's show with £200 each.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40After paying auction costs,
0:42:40 > 0:42:45Anita has made a somewhat small profit of £16.08.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49She has £216.08 to carry forward.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55James, on the other hand, made a very healthy profit of £71.10.
0:42:55 > 0:43:00He has a substantial £271.10 to spend on the next leg.
0:43:01 > 0:43:06- Well, James, I enjoyed that. - Well, well done.
0:43:06 > 0:43:11- We both came out all right, really. All things considered. - All things considered.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16- Next time on the Antiques Road Trip...- 40 to 60.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18..Anita risks losing out on a bargain.
0:43:18 > 0:43:23- Is there a wee bit of movement on that, a wee bit of movement? - With the accent on "wee".
0:43:24 > 0:43:28- And James risks losing a bit more. - That's my hat.
0:43:28 > 0:43:33This is the ransom. You buy something, or the hat gets it.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35I don't like this game any more!
