0:00:02 > 0:00:06The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 each, one big challenge.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Well, duck, do I buy you or don't I?
0:00:08 > 0:00:13- Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?- Sold.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18The aim is trade up and hope each antique turns a profit, but it's not as easy as it looks.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22- Dreams of glory can end in tatters. - TOOTS HORN
0:00:22 > 0:00:26So will it be the fast lane to success or the slow road to bankruptcy?
0:00:26 > 0:00:29That's the sweat over!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41This week, we're beetling about in a Beetle, with James Lewis and Anita Manning.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Which way, left or right?
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Straight ahead, James!
0:00:45 > 0:00:50Anita, from Glasgow, is an auctioneer with a reputation for being sensible
0:00:50 > 0:00:54and playing things a wee bit safe. Just how wrong could they be?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I was a wild child!
0:00:57 > 0:01:01James, from Derbyshire, is an auctioneer, too, and equally surprising.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06- TOOTS HORN - He loves animals and when he was younger, he wanted to be a vet.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08All the little donkeys together!
0:01:10 > 0:01:14So, as the competition hots up, who's feeling instinctive
0:01:14 > 0:01:17and who's going to play it by the book?
0:01:17 > 0:01:21If there was ever a time to spend up, it's this one, I think.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26There's a wee bit of me that's saying, "Be canny, Anita!
0:01:26 > 0:01:31"Be careful with your money! Always keep something for the bank."
0:01:32 > 0:01:39Anita Manning began with £200 and has £216.08 to spend today.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43While James Lewis, who also began with £200,
0:01:43 > 0:01:48has the lead, with £271.10 at his disposal.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54- So, James, you've got £270-plus. Give me your tactics, James.- Well...
0:01:55 > 0:01:59This week's road trip starts at Pateley Bridge in Yorkshire
0:01:59 > 0:02:04and heads south, travelling via East Anglia to the West Country and concluding in Cirencester.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Today, we start out in Lincolnshire, at Horncastle,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11and make for an auction in Norfolk, at Diss.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20South of the Lincolnshire Wolds, the town of Horncastle used to be famous
0:02:20 > 0:02:25for its summer horse fair, but these days, it's all about antiques.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34With over 40 different dealers,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38this establishment could get a bit tricky.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41But there's also, of course, plenty of choice.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44It's quite an interesting thing.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49Think of Pirelli calendars, think of them as collectable things,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52this is the precursor of that.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57It's been a calendar and your paper part would be attached here.
0:02:57 > 0:03:03What I like is the wonderful Art Nouveau influence here.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Another one there from 1910.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11In this one, we still have the paper calendar.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14January, February and March has been taken off,
0:03:14 > 0:03:18but something has happened in April and they've kept that on.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Now what's this? Another nice bit of Art Nouveau, for £52?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26This is a silver pin cushion.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Art Nouveau, started probably in the 1870s, 1880,.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36so towards the end of the Victorian era.
0:03:36 > 0:03:42The patterns almost seem to be freed up with organic shapes.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45They were looking to nature for their inspiration.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50What I would be thinking about would be between 25 and 30.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Am I coming anywhere near? - You are getting near.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- Am I near the 25 or am I near the 30, David?- The latter, my dear.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59The latter!
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- I'll go to 32.- It is good.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- If we came to 30. - That would be less than 32.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- I know! - THEY LAUGH
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- £30.- £30?- Done!
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Thank you so much. That's wonderful.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Deal done, just as James reaches his first shop, Bric-a-brac.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Good morning.- Hi.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24The term bric-a-brac is French and translates as "odds and ends",
0:04:24 > 0:04:26meaning a collection of curios.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Is it OK if I have a browse around? - Of course, yes, feel free.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32What do we need to get rid of?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34THEY LAUGH
0:04:34 > 0:04:39- Anything you desperately want to get rid of?- The boot pull, we'd like to get rid of that.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43It's a good country house look, isn't it?
0:04:43 > 0:04:44How much could the boot jack be?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46It can be 100.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49For 100 quid, I'll kick my boots off myself.
0:04:49 > 0:04:55£75. That has got to be the best deal in the world.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- I did pay 195 for it, so I'm losing there.- Did you?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- But you've had it a long time? - Yeah, I have.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02When stuff like that was fetching the money.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- They used to make a lot of money? - They're back in fashion now.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Oh, yeah, good try.- From today!
0:05:07 > 0:05:11But there's plenty of stuff they can't wait to get rid of, either.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15What about the lampshade?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Is that quirky enough for you? - This one?- Yeah.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Try not to pull on it, it'll fall to bits.- That's bonkers, isn't it?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- How much could that be? - That can be 25.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31This is very much in the Arts and Crafts style.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34It's made out of a solid sheet of copper,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37cut and then these little flower designs pushed through.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42They've had it a long time and tried 45, now it's been crossed out
0:05:42 > 0:05:44and it's now 32.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46There's an even older one underneath that.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48115.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I don't know.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55That's...
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- That's my hat.- This is the ransom.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02- It looks a darn sight better on you.- You buy something, or the hat gets it!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05OK, what do you want to get rid of the most,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08the boot pull or that thing?
0:06:08 > 0:06:13The light thing I can live with, the boot pull I'm sick of.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I want to get rid of the boot pull.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- What is the absolute? - I'm losing so much.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24I suppose, 50 quid. Don't dare say no.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Mamma... - I'll be back in a minute, darling.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32You buy it or I'll tell everyone I caught nits from you.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34HE LAUGHS
0:06:36 > 0:06:39That is so unfair.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42They're messing with your mind, James.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I don't like this game, any more.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47You love it, darling, you love it.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- You've had that ages.- Darling, I paid 20. I've got to have 25.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54No way will I take my money back.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Go on then, you can have it for 20.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00That threw me completely. Right.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03That one, I see at 15.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- That one, I see at 35. - No, darling.- OK.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- I'm sorry, darling, we couldn't do business.- We couldn't.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- But I have enjoyed your company. - I've enjoyed yours, too, thanks very much.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Good luck with the rest of the town. - Thank you. Could I have my hat?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Oh, come on.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I might come back. Save it, save it. I might come back.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28So while James heads, hatless, onto the streets of Horncastle,
0:07:28 > 0:07:33at the antiques centre, Anita is heating her stride - and the goods.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Back amongst the cabinets, she's sniffed out something else.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Stand by.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50The little bottles, they have a bit of quality. They're not moulded glass.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54That one's blown and you can see where they've polished the pontile.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57The pontile is the part that has been broken off.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02It's the type of thing that a lady of some substance and wealth
0:08:02 > 0:08:10would take with her when she made her trip to Paris, New York or Lisbon.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14It's in a little leather case and there is a little lock here,
0:08:14 > 0:08:21which again, tells us that the contents of the bottles would be fairly expensive.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26It's priced at £115. I wonder what David can do on that?
0:08:26 > 0:08:32I thought it was pretty. What I would be looking to pay, £40-£60.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- The 60s nearer to the figure than the 40.- Could it go to 50?
0:08:35 > 0:08:40- No, no chance. Do you want me to come with my figure?- Yes.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46- My figure is 75.- 75. Is there a wee bit of movement on that?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48With the accent on "wee".
0:08:48 > 0:08:50THEY LAUGH
0:08:50 > 0:08:5270.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- That's it, I'm not going any lower. - Is that it?- Yeah.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58OK, I think I'm going to take a chance on it.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Having splashed out £100 here,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04the jewellery has now caught her eye.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Can she put together a little Scottish something to appeal at the auction?
0:09:09 > 0:09:15There's a group of Charles Rennie Mackintosh-style items.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Charles Rennie Mackintosh is one of the most renowned
0:09:19 > 0:09:25architects and designers that Scotland has ever produced.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28These little...two brooches and a little pendant
0:09:28 > 0:09:33they're quite nice quality and, although they aren't of the period,
0:09:33 > 0:09:37they will be quite sought after.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41According to the labels, the set should cost around £35.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Now, can you give me a price on these?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I can. Three for 20.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Three for 20.
0:09:49 > 0:09:55Are you able to take £2 off, to make it 18?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I'll go 19, but that would be it.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00That's the end.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Let's go for those ones, then, three for 19! Thank you, again.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05It's a pleasure.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It's just as well James doesn't know what Anita's up to,
0:10:11 > 0:10:15because at Great Expectations, he is struggling.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16What is that?
0:10:16 > 0:10:21The owner has told him that 10% is the most he can knock off.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22There is a bargain section.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27What does it say, "30% of all marked prices."
0:10:27 > 0:10:28And, in it, a boat lamp.
0:10:28 > 0:10:34This funny little boat is not the most exciting thing in the world,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37but I'm really struggling to find anything in here,
0:10:37 > 0:10:39at all, worth buying.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Erm... They've got 12 quid on it.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47It's an absolutely pathetically low amount of money, but...
0:10:49 > 0:10:51..I want to be spending something more,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54but I just can't find anything...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57anything that I actually want to buy.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I don't really want to buy this, either, but...
0:11:01 > 0:11:04HE SIGHS
0:11:06 > 0:11:11I've seen men walk to the gallows faster than this.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Well, I haven't found anything really exciting.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17I was wanting to spend a lot more money with you, but there we go.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20What could that be. It was in the 30% off stand upstairs?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22It's not your lucky day today.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27That's on the left-hand side. The items on the right is 30% off.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30So, that can be, erm...
0:11:30 > 0:11:33that can be £11.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Oh, well...
0:11:36 > 0:11:39God, right underneath the stand that said 30% off?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Yeah, but that's on the right, this is on the left.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Right, do I want it? Not really. OK.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- I'll leave it, thank you very much. - Are you going to leave it? OK. Thank you very much.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59So, a very frustrated James Lewis departs, empty-handed again.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Meanwhile, Anita "Three Deal" Manning has bid farewell
0:12:03 > 0:12:09to Horncastle and motored to the nearby resort of Woodhall Spa,
0:12:09 > 0:12:14where, deep in the woods, she's making for a unique little picture house, called Kinema.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- Hi, Jim, I'm Anita, lovely to meet you.- Pleased to meet you.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28I'm so happy to be here. What a wonderful place.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- I'm dying to see the auditorium. Can you take me in?- This way.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35It was originally built as a sports pavilion,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38but soon converted to show movies.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40The Kinema hasn't looked back
0:12:40 > 0:12:44since opening with Charlie Chaplin's The Kid in 1922.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Jim, this is wonderful.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Tell me why is it called Kinema and not cinema?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54The actual Kinema is a German word, which comes from "kinetic",
0:12:54 > 0:12:56which means pure motion.
0:13:03 > 0:13:09The Kinema remains a popular local cinema, where you can see the very latest releases.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12# I'd rather make the noise before the talkies
0:13:12 > 0:13:16# There's not a single noise that he can't do #
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- So that's to join the frames together?- That's right, yes.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23But they also have a fine collection of silents,
0:13:23 > 0:13:27as well as pre-1940s talkies and newsreels.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32This is fascinating. I want to be a projectionist when I grow up!
0:13:32 > 0:13:36If you ever do! Of course, all their archive is on 35 millimetre
0:13:36 > 0:13:39and much of this on highly-combustible nitrate stock.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44The projectors are housed behind the screen,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47inside of at the back of the auditorium.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Back projection, using a mirror to flip the image,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52was once common in early cinema,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55but the Kinema has the only surviving example in the UK.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04In the intermission, there is an opportunity for Jim to reappear
0:14:04 > 0:14:07and show off one more delight -
0:14:07 > 0:14:11the magnificent rising Compton organ, the last of its kind.
0:14:11 > 0:14:17It's only been here since 1987, when it was rescued from another cinema.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20That organ is very exotic, it's wonderful.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22ORGAN PLAYS
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Once talkies were invented,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39the organ became THE star attraction between movies.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Famous organists toured the nation,
0:14:41 > 0:14:45playing a week at a time, attracting their own army of fans.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I think, Anita's one now.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Well done!
0:14:51 > 0:14:56I'm sure that some people will come along here especially just to hear that playing.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Could I be right?- Yes!
0:14:59 > 0:15:03While Anita grabs a choc ice and settles in for the main feature,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05James is still shopping.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10As we know, Horncastle does have a lot of antique shops
0:15:10 > 0:15:13and this one looks familiar. I wonder if Anita's overlooked any bargains?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17That's nice. Very nice.
0:15:17 > 0:15:24These little houses were made from about 1780 and throughout the 19th century.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29Made in Staffordshire, made in fairly standard moulds.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31You can see by the quality of the moulding,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35this sort of thing wasn't for a fine home, it was for working-class people.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40Early ones make £400, they can do.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Then, in the last 20 years, the Chinese have been reproducing these
0:15:44 > 0:15:46and that's caused the market to plummet.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50These things were made for quite a long time.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54This one says, "Repro Staffordshire money box."
0:15:54 > 0:15:57I've just got a feeling, I don't think it is a repro one.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59I think it's quite a late one.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I'll see what he'll take for it.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04The ticket says £20.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Tell me what you think to this?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08That doesn't look repro to me.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09It doesn't look repro.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12No, I don't think it is repro.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14On a cheapo thing like that, would you take a tenner?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16It's 20 on it? 12.
0:16:16 > 0:16:2012. OK.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I'm not going to argue with you over two quid.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25I'm fed up with messing around. Deal - 12 quid!
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Thank you.- Thank you very much. There we are.- Thank you.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31At last! Appropriately, on a money box.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33But, hang on, now he's back at Bric-a-brac.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I feel a deal with Carmen coming on.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38That, or an aria.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Listen, while James and I talk business,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43will you go and play with your toys, please?
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Good lad.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46So!
0:16:46 > 0:16:50We have the lantern and we have the boot pull.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55I know you said 50 on that and 20 on that.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- 70, but... - 65's far better than 70.- 65!
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- How about 60? - Would you fight me for £5?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- No, I wouldn't. - Just five little pounds.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10You've nearly got your hand in your pocket.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Go on.- Marvellous! I'll tell you what, I'll give you your hat back.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Thanks! That's the deal, then.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17HE LAUGHS
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Come on, then, where's my hat? - Erm...
0:17:19 > 0:17:21That's a relief.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Our two have both spent well on their first day in Lincolnshire.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Now, loosen up a bit, before it all starts again in the morning.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Very, very flat Lincolnshire, isn't it?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Day two, and in the Lovebug they're relaxed, but reserved.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40James, you've had quite a lot of dosh to spend.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- Have you spent it all?- No.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48Yesterday James spent £77 on the money box, a copper lantern
0:17:48 > 0:17:52and a boot jack, which means he has almost £200 left in his pocket.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I want to go home.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59While Anita spent £119 on costume jewellery,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02some perfume bottles and a case,
0:18:02 > 0:18:06plus an Art Nouveau pin cushion, leaving her with just under £100
0:18:06 > 0:18:08to spend today.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10What do you think is my best buy?!
0:18:11 > 0:18:13They're making for an auction in Diss
0:18:13 > 0:18:17but calling in first at the village of Heckington,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20where James and Anita will part company.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24This looks interesting.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- I'm going to head straight off.- OK.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- I'm going to have some fun.- Go on!
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Anita is being led to a shop, appropriately, called
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Up The Garden Path.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Hello, I'm Anita.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- Hello Anita, I'm Vee. - It's lovely to meet you. - Lovely to meet you.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50This crowded little shop mixes antiques and quality reproductions with a French feel.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- This was the precursor of a child's mobile?- That's right.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Yes, it would be, yes.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59We bring quite a bit back from France when we go.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- That's why we've got brocante. - That's it.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Brocante... Brocaunte. How do you pronounce it?
0:19:06 > 0:19:07- Brocante.- Brocante.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10That's French for antique, but Vee's also got
0:19:10 > 0:19:12plenty of solidly British stuff.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- You've got a wonderful array of Doulton there.- I have, yes.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- Of course, your Royal Crown Derby. - The Royal Crown Derby.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25- Imari pattern, they call it, don't they?- Yes.- Very beautiful.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Looks good, but it comes with a huge price of £260.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32This is something that I could be interested in, Vee,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36if I could get a good deal on this one.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41The price that I'd be looking at would be...
0:19:43 > 0:19:45in the region of about £80.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Is that at all possible?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Could you manage 90?
0:19:56 > 0:20:01- Could we go to 85? - 85. I'll do it you for 85.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Oh, that's lovely, thank you very much.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09What a bargain, but it means that Anita has just £12.08 left
0:20:09 > 0:20:11and one shop still to go.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16But what of James and his lucky mascot, Ed?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Well, they've Beetle-d down from Heckington
0:20:22 > 0:20:24to nearby Grimsthorpe,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26to visit Grimsthorpe Castle.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Grimsthorpe has been the home of the de Eresby family
0:20:29 > 0:20:33since it was given to them by Henry VIII in 1516 -
0:20:33 > 0:20:35and they still live here.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Hello, James, nice to see you.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Good to see you. Gosh!
0:20:42 > 0:20:43What an amazing hall.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- Isn't it lovely? Vanbrugh's hall. - Gosh.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- Well-known architect.- Yes, indeed. Well known for his symmetry.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Vanbrugh substantially redesigned the building in the 18th century
0:20:55 > 0:21:00and since then, Grimsthorpe no longer looks much like a castle.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Then, of course, up here, we've got all the kings who gave land
0:21:04 > 0:21:06or titles to the family, at some point.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10The family have very strong links with the Royal Family, don't they?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Yes, going back to the 11th Baron,
0:21:12 > 0:21:14who married Katherine of Aragon's cousin.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Her husband was Master of the Horse to Henry VIII.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- So we're talking about...- 1516.- Gosh.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25And the links to the Royal Family still stay today?
0:21:25 > 0:21:30- They do. The present Lady Willoughby was the Queen's youngest maid of honour at the Coronation.- Lovely.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Those close ties with royalty have resulted in several
0:21:34 > 0:21:37de Eresbys serving as Lord Great Chamberlain, in charge
0:21:37 > 0:21:41over the House of Lords and with an important role at coronations.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- Plus, quite a few perks.- We're coming to Prince Albert's throne.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Oh, really?- Yes.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- When you said you had Queen Victoria's throne, as well? - It's the next one along.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Then of course, this little table is important.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00This is the one she signed her Coronation Oath on, in 1838.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05I'd always assumed that this type of furniture would be
0:22:05 > 0:22:09passed down for the next king or queen to sign on.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- So each king or queen had their own House of Lords furniture?- Yes.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16And the old furniture has to be disposed of.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20So, your Lord Great Chamberlain takes it off their hands!
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Oh! Must be very harsh for him(!)
0:22:22 > 0:22:26And in the splendid Chinese drawing room, Jerry has promised
0:22:26 > 0:22:31James a glimpse at one of the castle's greatest treasures.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32- Oh, my word. - Tell me all about it, James.
0:22:32 > 0:22:38A mahogany George III silver table, with this pierced gallery. Do you know much about it?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I know it's Chippendale.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45Thomas Chippendale was THE important Georgian furniture maker
0:22:45 > 0:22:50and designer, who, in 1754, published his designs
0:22:50 > 0:22:54entitled "The Gentleman And Cabinet-maker's Director".
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Everybody knows Chippendale, because there is so much of it about.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Not made BY him, but made by regional cabinet-makers
0:23:02 > 0:23:06copying his style throughout the country.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11We believe it is by Chippendale. We've got six chairs which match it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17I mean, that is just fabulous. What a piece of furniture.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22Not for sale, of course, but incredibly precious.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Time for James to pick up Anita and do a wee bit more shopping.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Travelling from Grimsthorpe to Stamford.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38This historic town, with its fine medieval core,
0:23:38 > 0:23:43was for 700 years known for its bull-running festival.
0:23:43 > 0:23:49Until 1837, that is, when the Society For The Prevention of Cruelty To Animals put a stop to it.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57In the 1960s, Stamford became the very first conservation area in England and Wales.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03It's a nice shop,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06but James and Anita couldn't be in more contrasting positions.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11One fairly full wallet, the other, almost empty purse.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14This is a terrific place.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17And all I've got left is 12 quid!
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Although many of the dealers aren't around,
0:24:22 > 0:24:26the shop owner Peter can always bargain on their behalf.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30And that will light. I must do my little trick.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35A binnacle, containing a magnetic compass and light
0:24:35 > 0:24:38would have been mounted on the deck of the ship to aid the helmsman.
0:24:38 > 0:24:44- It lights up.- How much could that be? Let's have a look...
0:24:44 > 0:24:46The price on the label is £230.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I could do that for 150.
0:24:49 > 0:24:55- At auction, they'd probably put 50-80 on it.- Really?- I like it, though.
0:24:55 > 0:25:01- It's, um... Could you do any better than that?- I'll go to 110.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- It's a good-looking thing, isn't it? - Yes.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07I'll do 100. My very best would be 100.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10(SIGHING) £100, £100.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Right. OK. Let me have a think.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18So, while James ponders a big purchase,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21how's Anita doing with her more limited budget?
0:25:21 > 0:25:27There's a cocktail shaker there, Art Deco, from the 1930s.
0:25:27 > 0:25:33The body of it has an etched glass design.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35And I quite like that.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Cocktails are a wee bit exotic
0:25:39 > 0:25:42and that item is just the tiniest, wee bit exotic.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45The cocktail shaker.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47CABINET DOOR OPENS
0:25:49 > 0:25:52It's just a piece of fun, isn't it?
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Yes!- But it's quite nicely etched.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01These things remind me of palm fronds and grapes.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Everything is there. - You can have that for 12.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Yes...
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Will it make a profit in auction, though?
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Well, you'd know better than I. I think it might.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17I do like it. It's not an item of any great value,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21but I've only got a few quid in my pocket left.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24What I'd like is...
0:26:24 > 0:26:26if you are able to give me it for less than that?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- What have we got?- Five?
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- I'll go seven.- Seven. OK. It's a deal!- Good.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37And James and I will fill it with cocktails!
0:26:37 > 0:26:41I think James also has something a bit alcoholic lined up in his cabinet.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47That's an interesting thing. Known as a tantalus.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52The idea is that it would tantalise people that were trying to
0:26:52 > 0:26:55get at the whisky.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59You can imagine going on a grouse shoot or pheasant shoot
0:26:59 > 0:27:02and you wouldn't want the entire massive
0:27:02 > 0:27:07tantalus to take with you, but you can imagine the old butler with that in hand.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12It's by Mappin and Webb of London, who are good silversmiths.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16The lock at the end is a Betjemann's patented lock
0:27:16 > 0:27:19and that pushes in and that terms.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20It releases the bottles.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- Pricey, though. £250.- Very unusual.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30- Here we are.- That's pretty, isn't it?- It's lovely.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I mean, it's...
0:27:32 > 0:27:37It's a bit worn, the bottles are chipped... But...what could that be?
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Um, a hundred and...150?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- I rate that the same as the other one!- Really?
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- We'll go down to 100, then, on that one.- 100.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58If I bought two things from you...
0:27:58 > 0:28:00would you do a deal on the two?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02On the, er...
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Yes, we're a bit low anyhow. Um...
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Yes, all right, I'll do, er...
0:28:08 > 0:28:13I'll do 90 on the ship's binnacle and 90 on this one, then. So 180.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18- At £180, you've got yourself a deal. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22So, most of their cash has been spent, but on what?
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Is that a little Staffordshire piece, James?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29They said in the shop that it was a reproduction,
0:28:29 > 0:28:31and I have to say I didn't think it was.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34I like it because it's colourful.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37I like the combination of blue and yellow. How much did you pay for it?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- What do you think?- £5.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44Oh, it wasn't THAT cheap, for goodness sake! It was 12.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49- Well, at £12, you MIGHT get away with it.- "Might get away with it"?!
0:28:49 > 0:28:52What's that supposed to mean?!
0:28:52 > 0:28:54"Might get away with it!" Less of that! What's yours?
0:28:54 > 0:28:58OK, my first thing... is a little pin cushion.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Still with pins.
0:29:00 > 0:29:06There are collectors who collect little items associated with sewing.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09I think it will also appeal to a hat pin collector.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13You've got another collectors' market there. How much was it?
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- I paid £30 for it. - I think that's cheap.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Next up, James's wonky lantern.
0:29:19 > 0:29:25- Oh, that's nice, James. That is nice.- Do you like it?- I love it.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29- I love Arts And Crafts and I love beaten metalwork.- Yes.
0:29:29 > 0:29:34- I paid £20 for it.- James, that's a real bargain.- You like it?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- I like it very, very much.- Great.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40I wonder if James will be equally enthused?
0:29:40 > 0:29:44Oooh. Don't tell me. Three scents? Three scents.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- Three little bottles. - I like it.- Do you like it?- Mm.- Good.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- What did you pay? - Well, I paid £70 for it.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- I might get away with it, James. - You got a good discount.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00- I got a good discount. - I like it, yes.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- Time for James to put his foot in it.- James, what on Earth is that?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06That, I have to say,
0:30:06 > 0:30:12I loved when I saw it. It's a Victorian boot jack.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17You stick your foot in there, you pull on the handle...
0:30:17 > 0:30:19It's not something that appeals to me,
0:30:19 > 0:30:24although I can see the quality in the work in it.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26The best of luck with it, James.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31My next little lot is a group of silver pieces -
0:30:31 > 0:30:36two brooches and a little stone-set pendant.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38I can see you wearing that.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42It's just like one of those round, stained-glass windows that you see in Glasgow.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Well, brilliant. Like them. Like them very much.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48You know the old phrase, "He's missed the boat"?
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Well, I certainly think I've missed the boat on this one, in more than one way.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Aye-aye, Captain.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Oh, James, that's great! I like the shape.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01It appeals to me as an object. I do like it.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08Marine items are generally very expensive, James.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09It wasn't cheap.
0:31:09 > 0:31:15- It was £90.- From £90, I think you should have nae bother at a'.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19What will James make of Anita's biggest buy?
0:31:19 > 0:31:23It's a piece of Royal Crown Derby.
0:31:23 > 0:31:30- This is very popular with the travelling people.- Absolutely.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32That also helps the fact that it's a crucifix.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35It's an awful thing to say in today's society,
0:31:35 > 0:31:38but that is normally a difficult selling point,
0:31:38 > 0:31:42but because a lot of the travelling community are still
0:31:42 > 0:31:46very religious people, this type of thing still sells well.
0:31:46 > 0:31:52- OK, now the big question, what did you pay?- I paid 85 for it.
0:31:52 > 0:31:58That... That is a steal. That is absolutely brilliant.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01£85.
0:32:01 > 0:32:08- I think he liked it.- Well, my final lot is that.- Oh, James.
0:32:08 > 0:32:16- That is a delicious little item. And dating from..?- 1890 to 1900.
0:32:16 > 0:32:22Turn of the century. I think that that is lovely, that's a super item. Well done.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Good, thank you. I liked it.
0:32:26 > 0:32:33- Martini, anyone?- You could see it sitting in one of those 1950s bars.
0:32:33 > 0:32:39- Yes, you could - mirrored interior! - Yes, the cushioned plastic.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- Class! OK, what did you pay? - I paid seven pounds for it.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48Well, it didn't break the bank, did it?
0:32:48 > 0:32:53Well done. I think we ought to take that to the bar now, give a practise.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Quick, before they do that, what do they REALLY think?
0:32:56 > 0:33:00What I do like is that wonderful tantalus.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03It's Mappin and Webb, it's silver-plated
0:33:03 > 0:33:06and it was only £90.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10The thing I think she might struggle with is that scent casket.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14I don't think the central bottle is original.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17I think that will be the downfall.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22After starting out in Horncastle,
0:33:22 > 0:33:25this leg of our trip will conclude in Diss for the auction showdown.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29- I'm looking forward to... - It's lovely, actually, isn't it?
0:33:31 > 0:33:36- Timber-framed houses. - They're not short of lots!
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Not short of buyers, either, and that's the main thing.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42- Are you nervous, James? - I'm always nervous, Anita.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- Let's get rid of that.- Well done!
0:33:48 > 0:33:52And so, while Diss folk take a closer look, Anita and James
0:33:52 > 0:33:56are anxious to hear from the auctioneer, Elizabeth Talbot.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59The favourite item that James has brought to us today is the boot jack.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03It fits very well into the country area that we live
0:34:03 > 0:34:06and people do like that sort of thing. It's quite collectable, too.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Of Anita's items, two things stand out -
0:34:08 > 0:34:11the Royal Crown Derby cross - we have quite a few local collectors.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15I'm hoping she'll do well on that.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18And the cocktail shaker, which I think will appeal to the taste here.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Anita began with £216.08
0:34:22 > 0:34:27and she spent a total of £211 on five auction lots.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32James started out with £271.10
0:34:32 > 0:34:37and spent £207, also on five lots.
0:34:38 > 0:34:44- OK, Diss is it. James leads by one auction to nothing.- Wake up, James.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- I don't want to. - Come on, James, buck up.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50James, your lots are coming up now.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51Starting with one of Anita's.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56Lot 147 now, the Art Nouveau silver mounted pin cushion. This is pretty.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Birmingham, 1903. I have interest on the sheets, and I start at £30.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03- Straight in at 30.- 42, 45, 48 and 50.
0:35:03 > 0:35:0855 and 60, five and 70, five, I'm out. 80, new bidder.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- 80 at the front, I'll take five. - Come on!- That's a great price.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15£80, are you all done?
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- Well!- Yes!- Did you think it would make that?
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Oh, well...!
0:35:20 > 0:35:23No, I don't think she did.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25- That was a great start, James. - Brilliant start.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Little bit too good for my liking!
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Ah, a bit of competitiveness.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33- What can James's money box do? - Start me at 20.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- There should be hands everywhere at that.- £20, surely. Come on.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Thank you, 20 bid. I have 20 now.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- £20, the lady's bid. Looking for two.- Go on.
0:35:42 > 0:35:4422. 25.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45Lost 28.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Are you sure? Good value still.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54- Go on!- 30, the lady. - She's charming the bids out.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Gentleman is out. It worked, madam. At £30, anybody else can join in.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00At £30, with the lady at £30.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01£30 and selling.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- Wow, there we go.- Well done.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07That's exactly what we thought it might make.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11Another decent profit - minus commission.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13- Hurrah!- Good start.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Now, Glasgow-style jewellery, in Norfolk.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18Start me at 30.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20£30, surely, come on.
0:36:20 > 0:36:26- Straight away.- 32, 35, 38, 40.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30- Where are you at two? Come along, now.- It's a gentleman buyer.
0:36:30 > 0:36:3342, 45, 48, 50. Five.
0:36:33 > 0:36:3555 is in the corner.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- 60, sir?- Go on!
0:36:38 > 0:36:40£60, the corner. Where's five?
0:36:40 > 0:36:42At 60, the corner bid. Any advance?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Five? No.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48£60, thank you.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Well, that trebled your money.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Well done, Anita.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56There is nothing to be ashamed of with that.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57Quite.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01- What will they make of your lantern, James?- An unusual piece, this.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- 30, I'll take.- Come on. 30 bid. - Yes, come on, help him out.
0:37:05 > 0:37:0930 bid. 32, 35, 38, 40.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Two... Sure?
0:37:13 > 0:37:1442 has moved to my front.
0:37:14 > 0:37:1742, any advance? 45.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20This is what auctions are all about! £45 is bid, where's eight?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Anybody else can join in - at 45, any advance?
0:37:24 > 0:37:25Well done.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Gosh, that was close, wasn't it?
0:37:29 > 0:37:32You've doubled your money, James.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34I hope my stuff does this, as well!
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Well, next up is the cross that James was rather envious of.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42I do have interest on the sheets and I start at £32.
0:37:42 > 0:37:4635, 38, 40, 42, 45, 48, 50,
0:37:46 > 0:37:50five, 60, five, 70 bid, 75,
0:37:50 > 0:37:53new bidder, 80, five, 90, five.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Gentleman's bid is 95, 100 commission, 110.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58120. At 120 now, looking for 30.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Oh, it's worth more than that!
0:38:00 > 0:38:04At 120, am I missing anyone else? Are you all done?
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- 120, thank you.- 120. Ach, well.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10It's made more than the auctioneer's estimate.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Double. Well, that's a bit of a relief.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15I think James thought it might have done a bit better, but Anita
0:38:15 > 0:38:17is comfortably in the lead today.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- I'm happy enough with that, James. - And it's made a profit. Good.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26Right - next is this brass maritime ship's compass.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- You're under pressure, James. - I'm under pressure.- You're sweating.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35I have interest on this one here, and I start at 55. £55 bid.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39And 60, five, 70, five, 80, five...
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Yes? 90. Five.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Oh, round it up now.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- Go on!- 100. And 10.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51It's back with me at 110, I've lost the lady.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55At 120, she softened at 120. I'm out at 120. 120 bid now.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59At 120 in the gallery, any advance on 120?
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Well done, Elizabeth!
0:39:01 > 0:39:04She got every last pound out of them for that.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Yep, you steered nicely into profit.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11That's the sweat over.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Now, golden Cadillac or rusty nail?
0:39:13 > 0:39:17What will Anita's shaker make?
0:39:17 > 0:39:20I have interest on this one shown and I start at £18.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24- £18 bid, and 20, two...- Good start.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- Bit of a stir.- 35, 38, 40, two...
0:39:28 > 0:39:32- 42 with me. I'll take five. - That's a great price!
0:39:32 > 0:39:36I have 42. 45, thank you, 48.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38It's on commission at 48.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Any advance?
0:39:41 > 0:39:44My word. That is a corking profit!
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- In percentage terms, that's the best all day.- Yep. Cheers, Anita.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50That's a whopper.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54- I'm a happy girl! - You SHOULD be a happy girl!
0:39:54 > 0:39:57OK, plenty of wellies in Norfolk.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59What will James's device make?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02I have interest on the sheets and I start at 42.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05£42, 45, 48, 50,
0:40:05 > 0:40:09five, 60, five, 70, five, 80,
0:40:09 > 0:40:11five, 90, five. 100, yes?
0:40:11 > 0:40:17100 in the room, I'm out. I'll take the 10. At 110, it's a fine example.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20At £100, any advance?
0:40:22 > 0:40:23- James!- She of little faith!
0:40:24 > 0:40:26I'll have to eat my words!
0:40:28 > 0:40:30And that's put them neck-and-neck.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33What about Anita's perfume bottles?
0:40:33 > 0:40:37That's lovely. Start me at 50.
0:40:38 > 0:40:4030 to start, surely.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42The lady's bid at 30. She spots quality at 30 there.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44May I say two, 32, 35...
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- Two ladies bidding.- Yes.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Four, madam , 38? 40.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52£40, you've lost a friend there at £40.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54At £40, where's two?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57At 42 - new bidder. 45...
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Oh, go on, sir.
0:40:59 > 0:41:0048.
0:41:00 > 0:41:01And 50.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Your wife won't mind. 55, go on.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Yes? 55.
0:41:06 > 0:41:0860.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09She still won't mind!
0:41:09 > 0:41:11LAUGHTER
0:41:11 > 0:41:13It's 60 and it does sell.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Do you know, I think you came away with that very lightly.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21First loss of the day.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24But at least James isn't rubbing it in.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28That could quite easily have made £40 with that wrong bottle.
0:41:28 > 0:41:33Now, if James's tantalus does better, he'll win today.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36This is the best thing I've bought on the entire trip.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Start me at 100.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- Oh, it's cheap.- Come on, £100.
0:41:42 > 0:41:43- Jeez!- 80 to start, surely?
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Come on, at £80, surely? 50 bid.
0:41:48 > 0:41:5050 I have. A low start at 50. Five.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51Lots of bidders, now.
0:41:51 > 0:41:5460, five, 70, five, 80, five,
0:41:54 > 0:41:58- 90, five, 100, 110, new bidder. - It's worth way more than this.
0:41:58 > 0:42:05120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07180, 190,
0:42:07 > 0:42:09200, and 10.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- Go on!- Any advance on £210?
0:42:13 > 0:42:15A good piece at 210.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Brilliant!
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Isn't that wonderful?
0:42:19 > 0:42:22I could hardly breathe, it was so tense.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Great result, after a shaky start.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- James, that's the excitement of the auction.- That is brilliant.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30I'm happy with that.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- All in all, we seem to have both done well.- I think we have.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37So you have, Anita, but thanks to that last lot,
0:42:37 > 0:42:39James is the winner again and is in the lead.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42After paying auction costs,
0:42:42 > 0:42:46Anita has made a profit of £90.76.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50So, she has £306.84 to spend tomorrow.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52James, on the other hand,
0:42:52 > 0:42:56made £157.10 after auction costs
0:42:56 > 0:43:00and so he has a very handy £428.20
0:43:00 > 0:43:02to spend tomorrow.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06But beware the Anita fight back.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10Next time on the Antiques Road Trip, Anita goes for broke...
0:43:10 > 0:43:13And I was wondering if you could give me it for a pound!
0:43:13 > 0:43:15..and James gets an honest opinion.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18- I think you're making a bad mistake, really.- Do you?!
