0:00:02 > 0:00:06The nation's favourite antique experts. £200 each and one big challenge.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Well, duck, do I buy you or don't I?
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Who can make the most money
0:00:10 > 0:00:13buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?
0:00:13 > 0:00:17The aim is trade up and hope that each antique turns a profit,
0:00:17 > 0:00:20but it's not as easy as it looks,
0:00:20 > 0:00:23and dreams of glory can end in tatters.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26So, will it be the fast lane to success
0:00:26 > 0:00:29or the slow road to bankruptcy?
0:00:29 > 0:00:33- There's a mouth! - This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41It's the third day of our road trip in the classic 1959 Hillman Minx,
0:00:41 > 0:00:46and Charles Hanson has got one over on his rival, David Barby.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hanson, the young pretender, has a tiny lead
0:00:50 > 0:00:53over the well-provenanced David Barby, and I'm very excited.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Charles Hanson is an auctioneer from Derbyshire,
0:00:57 > 0:01:01and so loves Chinese porcelain, he'll even try to talk to it.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06- You're quite right.- But when it comes to spotting a fake, he's clueless.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I just don't know, you look so closely.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13David Barby, on the other hand, is a valuer from Rugby,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16and he likes to indulge in a little disguise.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21But he's finding his back-seat passenger somewhat trying.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Turn left up here, David.- Charles. - Stop here, David.- Charles!
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Oh, dear.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32These two started the week with a handsome £200 each,
0:01:32 > 0:01:36but after the second leg of the trip, it's all change.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40David sustained losses at yesterday's auction,
0:01:40 > 0:01:44leaving him with £248.08 going into today.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46I'm just collapsing.
0:01:47 > 0:01:53Charles, however, made healthy gains, giving him £261.88
0:01:53 > 0:01:57and catapulting him into the lead over his rival, David.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00That's why I call Charles the young pretender.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- Give me a high five, David. - It's great for you. It's great for you, Charles. Congratulations.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08This week's Road Trip is a huge 300-mile sprint
0:02:08 > 0:02:11from Lichfield, south to Frome,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13back up north to the Wirral Peninsula
0:02:13 > 0:02:17and ending in Nottingham for the final showdown.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Gosh!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Today's leg kicks off in Ross-on-Wye on the Welsh border,
0:02:24 > 0:02:29and with a fair wind should end up in Frome in Somerset for the auction.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33But with Charles's navigating skills, it will be pure luck
0:02:33 > 0:02:36if they ever get there.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41David, all I've heard of Ross-on-Wye is it's a place that's really full of books.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Is that right? - I think that's Hay-on-Wye, actually.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Isn't Hay-on-Wye also in Wales? - Ross-on-Wye is not in Wales.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- Where is Ross-on-Wye?- Just on the border.- Is it coastal?- No.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Charles, how can it be coastal if it's right on the border?
0:02:58 > 0:03:03Ross-on-Wye is often called the birthplace of British tourism
0:03:03 > 0:03:06after rector Dr John Egerton took friends on boat trips
0:03:06 > 0:03:11down the Wye valley in the mid-18th century.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16Ever since then, its picturesque qualities have struck
0:03:16 > 0:03:18even the flightiest of visitors.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- It's charming, David, isn't it? - It's alarming how charming it is.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- It's alarming charming, Charlie! - Look, Charles, pull over there.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- What do you mean, all the gears? - Handbrake. Handbrake.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Right, Charles, I'm going up the hill, OK?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Why are you going up the hill, David?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Well, I think you saw the antique shops down there, so I'm going to explore the top.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40OK, that's fine by me, David. Thank you very much. Look after yourself.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- Spend all your money, OK? - Likewise.- See you later.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47David is heading for Deja Vu,
0:03:47 > 0:03:51which is barely in "vu" under all that scaffolding.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55It says it has collectibles to suit all tastes and budgets,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59and David has quickly spotted this quirky chair.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07So in fact, what happens, these two arms engage, do they?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Yes, they come forward like this.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16And then they have little handles on the back as well.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Gosh, that is unusual.- Yes.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Actually, this is an invalid's chair,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23and it was used to transport patients
0:04:23 > 0:04:27when porters would carry a seated person around
0:04:27 > 0:04:32using the handles at the front and at the rear of the chair.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35The beauty of this one is that it has a brass plaque,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37giving its maker's details.
0:04:37 > 0:04:43Anything or any item that has a label indicating its manufacture,
0:04:43 > 0:04:48and the very fact that this is a one-off... It's a one-off...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Only that particular company produced this type of chair.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55That is very nice indeed. How much is that?
0:04:55 > 0:05:00- I was thinking about £70.- 70?- Yes.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- What about 45? 45.- 55?
0:05:04 > 0:05:09- Let's split the difference at 50. - OK.- Right, at £50.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Thank you very much indeed.
0:05:11 > 0:05:18So, it's £50 for the chair, but Whisperer David hasn't finished yet.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Penny, I've just picked this up. This is quite quirky, isn't it? - It is, yes.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25I know it's a Victorian majolica glaze jug.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28It's a well-known design, the monkey-headed jug.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31But during the 1920s, I would imagine,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34when these weren't fashionable,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36somebody poured liquid concrete in there
0:05:36 > 0:05:43and then put this home-made fitment holder for a lamp.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44How much would that be?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47You've got £15 on it, but it's useless as a piece of pottery.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I suppose I could let that go for 10.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Do I love you enough for £10?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Take me, take me, I'm yours, yours.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59I'm going to contemplate that, if I may.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04The other thing I love are these Worcester Japanese-inspired coffee cups.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Yes, they're lovely, but unfortunately no saucers.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Why I like these is the fact that these are in the Japanese taste.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17These would date probably around about the 1880 period.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Those are £6 the pair?- Yes.
0:06:22 > 0:06:28If I bought that and that, how much would they be?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Say £12 for the lot?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35While David contemplates a job lot for £12,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Charles is yet to contemplate anything.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42He's up the road at Elizabethan House Antiques,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46an impressive 17th century timber-framed antiques shop,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48but things aren't going smoothly.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57A long day ahead. Only £13 ahead, don't blow it too quickly.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03I'm going off it a bit. I'm going off it, I'm not sure why. I'm going off it.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I've got a lot more shopping to do today
0:07:09 > 0:07:13and I don't want to feel I've got to buy already.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16David, on the other hand, just can't help himself.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19He's already acquired an invalid's chair
0:07:19 > 0:07:22and is eyeing up a jug filled with concrete.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28And two coffee cups without saucers as a combined lot. That's not all.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35This is George III. This would have been a bedroom spark guard.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38It's projected out into the room
0:07:38 > 0:07:43so anybody wearing flanked skirts would not be too close to the fire.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48We are looking at something round about 1780-1900.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51But at £60, it's on the hot side.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Time to haggle with Penny, poor girl.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Could I suggest 38?
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- Make it 40.- 38.- Oh, go on, then.
0:08:04 > 0:08:0838. Penny, thank you.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12At £38. Yeah! Two buys!
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Steady on! Such a hooligan!
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Right, I do like downstairs, the jug and the two Worcester pieces.
0:08:19 > 0:08:25- You said £10 for the three pieces, did you?- 12.- Cheeky.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Right, you've been so kind on the other two items
0:08:30 > 0:08:34that I can't refuse your even more generous offer
0:08:34 > 0:08:36on those three other pieces, so that's another sale.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Thank you very much indeed, and now I must stop.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43So, with four pieces under his belt already and only one shop down,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46is there no stopping to this man?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Time for our experts to swap shops.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Surely empty-handed Charles can find something in Deja Vu.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59It's packed with goodies and all that lovely blue scaffolding.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- You've had Mr Barby in already.- Yes.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Has he caressed your wares?
0:09:05 > 0:09:10- No comment.- Charles, for goodness sake! She could be your mother.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14One of those antique shops where it's all very much like this.
0:09:14 > 0:09:20It's all together. Here, you can almost swim around and get a feel.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Is that the breaststroke he's doing?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Penny, thanks ever so much.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- I'm a bit concerned now, I've been to two shops and bought nothing. - Oh, dear.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33So, the pressure is on.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Someone who definitely hasn't got buyer's block is David,
0:09:38 > 0:09:40who's found a funny coloured stool.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45What's interesting about this is that it's rustic.
0:09:45 > 0:09:51This could have been made by a cottager wanting a hearth stool
0:09:51 > 0:09:53and some timber that's hanging around,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56so we've got a solid oak top,
0:09:56 > 0:10:01and you can see the oak through there underneath this hideous paint.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04And it's got some age to it.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Oh, yeah.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12It's OK. It's a good piece of furniture, this.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I like it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:20Quite sturdy. But at £15, is there a deal to be done with owner Fred?
0:10:20 > 0:10:26- You've got 15 quid on it, what's the best?- I'll do it for £10.
0:10:26 > 0:10:32- What about eight?- Eight?- £8. It really, really is... - Oh, go on, then.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- £8 will do. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40If somebody is prepared to take all this paint off, which won't be too difficult...
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Oh, I would leave it. It's part of its life story.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46What would you do? Polish it up or something?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Just wax it up, I would. - It's an interesting concept.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51With a farewell to Ross-on-Wye,
0:10:51 > 0:10:55our plucky road trippers head north to Hereford.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00To take his mind off what can only be described as
0:11:00 > 0:11:04a disastrous morning shop, Charles is taking a short break from it all.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Look, look, look.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Oh gosh, there's buildings all the way around.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Charles has come to St John's Medieval Museum in Hereford
0:11:14 > 0:11:17to find out how this site became home
0:11:17 > 0:11:21to the crusading Knights of St John.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Here to meet him is John... Worlan. Curator.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- I have come here today to learn about crusades.- Yes, yes.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32And to learn about knights, but tell me, put it into context for me.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36It was very, very popular in the 11th and 12th century and even beyond,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40to actually make a journey, make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45Of course, the Knights of St John, we were all there to protect them, look after their illnesses.
0:11:45 > 0:11:52And they did this wearing their signature red and white tunics over heavy armour.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57The Order was founded by the Blessed Gerard about 1070,
0:11:57 > 0:12:01but it wasn't until the 13th century that they came here,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03to this chapel in Hereford.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07It was founded, this room, this building, in around 1260.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09What happened next?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Well, after 1260, of course,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15it wasn't very long before the Knights were all thrown out of the Holy Land.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19They had nowhere else to go so they came back here in numbers.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22All the ground area became a chapel.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25All the upper area became an infirmary.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27So what happened is that it became a place
0:12:27 > 0:12:30where if you were sick, elderly or infirm,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32the Knights would look after you.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35It wasn't just the Knights.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38A 14th-century skeleton found in the grounds suggested
0:12:38 > 0:12:40there were women there too.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Oh, my gosh.- Here she is.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Now, we had thought for a considerable period of time
0:12:45 > 0:12:47that it was a fellow.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50But she is in actual fact a woman.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53She would probably have been the equivalent,
0:12:53 > 0:12:57as we understand it now, to a nursing matron.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01The life and work of the Catholic Knights was, however,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03in stark contrast to the Dominican Black Friars,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06whose monastery adjoined the chapel.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Who were the Black Friars?
0:13:09 > 0:13:14They were monks or friars and what they did is
0:13:14 > 0:13:17they depended on preaching and teaching for their alms.
0:13:17 > 0:13:23- They were established over there in the friary.- Wonderful.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Where the Knights would have been over here,
0:13:25 > 0:13:30the Knights would have been influential in the city,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32they would have been rich people.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35While the Black Friars' monastery is long gone,
0:13:35 > 0:13:40their 14th century Gothic Preaching Cross
0:13:40 > 0:13:42does survive, thanks to restoration work,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45and is the only remaining example of its type in England.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49This pulpit would have been central to the friar's life
0:13:49 > 0:13:51as preachers and teachers.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54What would have happened there was local people
0:13:54 > 0:13:58would come in that gateway area and would muster around here.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02They would be grumbling and everything.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- The friars would then preach at them.- Can anyone go inside or not really?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- Is it sacred to go inside? - No, no, No.- Can I go inside?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Well, I wouldn't recommend it, Charles.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13You're a bit tall, actually.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- I'll be OK.- Oh, well done.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19There he goes.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- John, you had to go up like this. John, I'm stuck.- Are you stuck?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25John, I'm stuck!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27John, it's OK.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- I'm up, John.- Fantastic.
0:14:30 > 0:14:36You suddenly feel power here, to be in this confined space,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39to be surrounded by so much history.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40It's very special.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43To think of those great folk who have been up here
0:14:43 > 0:14:46in years gone by is tremendous.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I would say that you've entered into the spirit of it.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58While Charles has been pontificating from the pulpit,
0:14:58 > 0:15:02David's heading further north to Kidderminster in Worcestershire.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05After his morning buying spree, he can afford to cruise
0:15:05 > 0:15:07to the end of the day,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10but once an antiques hound, always an antiques hound.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16This is the forerunner of jukeboxes.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20It's operated by putting in a penny at the side there,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22which will then start the disc into motion.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25So I'm going to give it a turn and then you can listen.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29MUSIC PLAYS
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Lovely.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36But at seven and a half grand,
0:15:36 > 0:15:40there's no way David's going to get this for under £30.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Ha! Instead, he's going down memory lane with a Hornby signal cabin.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48I like that because it brings back my youth.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51My father bought me a Hornby train set.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56The only problem is he played with it more than I did!
0:15:58 > 0:16:03I like that immensely. Ian, sorry. Can I bother you just a second?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Not a problem.- What's the very best you can do on that?
0:16:05 > 0:16:11The very, very best, and no haggling, £20. That's it.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13That is the best.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Don't bid me 18 or even 19. It's got to be £20.
0:16:17 > 0:16:23- It's a little bit battered, that's the only point.- It's got its box.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- Right, Ian, I'm going to go for this.- Good choice.- Happy memories.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32It's another one in the bag for David,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35and as the sun sets on the Hillman Minx,
0:16:35 > 0:16:39empty-handed Charles can only hope for a miracle tomorrow.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Red sky at night, shepherd's delight.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47It's a new day for our road trippers and the young pretender,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Charles, is angling for a union with his rival.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Maybe he thinks David can help him out of the hole he's found himself in.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57You are a piece of work, Mr Barby. Shall we shop in unison?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- Shall we shop as a couple? - I'd rather not.- Why not?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- We're not married. - Let's shop together.- Thank God!
0:17:04 > 0:17:08So far, David is motoring ahead on this road trip.
0:17:08 > 0:17:14He's spent a conservative £128, but bought five auction lots.
0:17:15 > 0:17:21Charles, on the other hand, has spent zilch. That's nothing.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Our daring duo are on their way to Stourbridge,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27just 13 miles west of Birmingham.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32The town built its reputation
0:17:32 > 0:17:35on its prodigious glass-making industry.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39So will there be something here to catch Charles's eye
0:17:39 > 0:17:44or is it going to be one mad dash at the end of the day?
0:17:44 > 0:17:49- Feeling confident?- Go in first. - Why?- Charles, make a move.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50You've got to buy!
0:17:53 > 0:17:56The pair are kicking off the day at Charles Langford,
0:17:56 > 0:18:01a massive 4,000 square foot shop packed with furniture and smaller objects.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I think these are quite nice.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07These are probably English-made coloured glass bottles
0:18:07 > 0:18:09which will date to around 1880.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14I love these fruit and vine forms of design, but there's no price on here.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Is that a concern?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Sometimes, no price, maybe I've got room to negotiate myself
0:18:19 > 0:18:23and really negotiate them down quite hard.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Is Charles actually considering buying something? We can only hope.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- What's the best price on the bottles?- 65.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I do like them, Steve.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38I was hoping, Steve, that you might take a mid-estimate for them
0:18:38 > 0:18:41of £50 and give young Hanson a chance.
0:18:41 > 0:18:47- £50, then. There we go. - I'm off and running.- You'd better be.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- I'm firing up in Stourbridge. - Don't change your mind.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- My mate, Steve, is going to take 50. - £50.- Sold. Thanks, Steve.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56We're on the way.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Hooray, and about time too.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04But there's still a long way to go, and time waits for no man, Charles.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07David, meanwhile, is on the home stretch
0:19:07 > 0:19:09and fishing for a final item.
0:19:09 > 0:19:15- Steve, what are those ugly fish down there?- On the bottom, Clarice Cliff.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19These are late 1930s, and it was the Newport factory
0:19:19 > 0:19:21that she was working for at that particular time.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22These are late.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25They're not the sort of bizarre or fantastique models,
0:19:25 > 0:19:29the Cubist patterns, that really make a lot of money.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34This pair of odd-looking ceramic creatures are in fact wall pockets,
0:19:34 > 0:19:39probably used for storing tapers to light the fire,
0:19:39 > 0:19:40or sticking flowers in.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42They clearly tickle David's fancy, though.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I look at these and they amuse me,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47possibly because I think in terms of fish-and-chip shops.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48I love fish and chips.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53They have an element of nostalgia that I like about them.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57They're ugly, but sometimes ugly is good.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02I look in the mirror every morning and I think of that.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07- I think these are quite nice. What's the price on them?- £95.- Goodness me.
0:20:07 > 0:20:13- What about £40 for the two? - I'll do them at 50, but I want 50.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Split the difference, 45? 45.
0:20:16 > 0:20:23- It's nearly half the price, you know? Go on, 45.- Steve, thank you.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- You've got a deal.- Thank you.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29How weird is that? Hope he's washed it.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- They are so ugly. - They are, aren't they?
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Meanwhile, the day's moving fast and Charles still only has one buy.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Cripes!
0:20:41 > 0:20:45So, next stop, Lye Antiques.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48A mountain of things to rummage through.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Better get digging, Charles!
0:20:50 > 0:20:54You know when you feel quite claustrophobic? It's happening.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00That's nice.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04You think back to the 1920s, you think of the skyscrapers,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07you think of everything art deco, and in this pot,
0:21:07 > 0:21:11it's very much evocative of that great 1920s time.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It was a race in life.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17It was the depression at one moment and it was the jazz age
0:21:17 > 0:21:21and high-living and cocktail parties at the other.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Here, you've got a wonderful signed Charlotte Reid vase.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Has it been here for a while? Would you take £30 for it?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29I might then buy something else.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33It might give me enough change to buy something else. I mean it.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38- As I say, I did pay 50 quid for it. - OK.- £50 for that.- Yeah.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Are you sure?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Look at me, look at me! - Go on.- Are you sure?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54It's a jug and bowl,
0:21:54 > 0:21:58and the reeds or the rushes of this enamelled and printed ground
0:21:58 > 0:22:02is very much inspired by the Victorians
0:22:02 > 0:22:05to really move slightly away
0:22:05 > 0:22:10from all things patterned and Etruscan or Roman.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15This is more of a return to the aesthetic, to the natural foliage.
0:22:15 > 0:22:21This jug and bowl from circa 1868 could be yours for £20.
0:22:21 > 0:22:2410 to £15 at auction, give me a chance of profit
0:22:24 > 0:22:27and to turn it over for you, I will perhaps give you £5?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- No, I can't do it. I'll do it for the tenner.- For a tenner?
0:22:31 > 0:22:38I'm going to say, Paul, I said five, you said 10, let's meet halfway.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- £8.- Go on.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Paul, that's great. Thanks so much, mate.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46That, Paul, gives me now three items with about an hour to go.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Thanks very much. Cheers, Paul. All the best. See you.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53And now, a man who's definitely not in a rush is David.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57After calling time on his shopping with those dreadful looking fish,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59he's taking it easy,
0:22:59 > 0:23:04with a trip south to the Herefordshire village of Much Marcle.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10He's visiting one of the oldest houses in England.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15Hellens Manor is steeped in history, dating back to the Middle Ages
0:23:15 > 0:23:17and the time of the Crusades.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Live-in curator, Nicholas Stevens,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22has agreed to let David in on one of its chilling secrets.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- Curator of this wonderful house! - Indeed, welcome to Hellens.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Here it is. Wonderful brick-built mansion.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- I'm intrigued by the inside, let's go and have a look. - Come and have a look.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38The interior is a feast of history,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41from its magnificent stone hall and fireplace
0:23:41 > 0:23:44to old tapestries and Cromwellian armour.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49But it's the story behind one of its bedrooms that's most compelling.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- Peter, is this the haunted room? - It is. It's Hetty Walwyn's room.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- I didn't have a shiver at all. - No? Sorry about that.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Who is Hetty Walwyn?- OK.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Well, after the Civil War, John Walwyn got the house back
0:24:02 > 0:24:04and had some children rather late in life.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08His youngest child was a daughter called Mehitabel.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10She disgraced the family.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13She fell in love with an ordinary working fellow from the village.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18- Ran off with him. - Right, eloped.- Eloped.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Sad to say, it was not a success and we don't quite know why,
0:24:21 > 0:24:25but within two years, she was back at the door,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27begging for forgiveness.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Her mother took her in all right, but locked her up in this room.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- And here she stayed. - Until she died?- Until she died.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44And how did she die? She didn't hang herself, did she?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46We've no details about that at all.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50No, that rope is so that if she was in dire straits,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53needed help, she could ring the bell.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55They took all the trouble to put a bell on the roof,
0:24:55 > 0:24:56right above her room.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57BELL RINGS
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Doesn't that sound mournful? - It does.- Oh, dear.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06But you see, she messed up everything for the entire family.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Brought disgrace on the family. - Absolutely.- Yes.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11So this is Hetty's room?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Do we have any evidence that she actually existed
0:25:13 > 0:25:15or did she leave any mementos behind?
0:25:15 > 0:25:19I'm glad you asked because she scratched messages on the glass,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21and there's one in the middle there
0:25:21 > 0:25:27which says, "It is a part of virtue to abstain from what we love if it should prove our bain."
0:25:29 > 0:25:34Legend has it that no-one knew of Hetty's incarceration.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36To the world, she simply vanished.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37As to her death, it's not clear
0:25:37 > 0:25:42if she died naturally or took her own life, poor soul.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Apart from its famed hauntings,
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Hellens Manor also has a unique jewel in its crown.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55A piece of work by the famous 16th century miniature portrait painter,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Nicholas Hilliard.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Here you are, David. I've got this out especially for you.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- It's not generally on view.- It's kept under lock and key, is it?- Yes.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06I can understand why.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11This is a beautiful piece of Renaissance jewellery.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- So we have a gold jewel.- Yes.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19I can see the Renaissance details here with these sort of figures,
0:26:19 > 0:26:24almost like little caryatids or cornucopia, the figures coming out.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27What I'd like to do is turn it over because I want to see
0:26:27 > 0:26:33the portraits which are contained in this gold locket.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36It's a double portrait because it's a marriage gift,
0:26:36 > 0:26:38probably given by Queen Elizabeth I.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42These portraits are absolutely exquisite.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46While the portraits are of a couple unconnected with the house,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49they are nevertheless remarkable.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54- It has to be unique.- Yes, it is. - There's not another one like this.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- No, it is completely unique. - That is such a treasure.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03You have given me so many thrills today. Not just the ghost!
0:27:03 > 0:27:07But that is a lovely piece to end this visit.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Back on the road, Charles, our young pretender,
0:27:13 > 0:27:17is rushing to find more items before the day is done.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18He's left Stourbridge
0:27:18 > 0:27:22and is heading for Kidderminster, where David was the day before.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Of course, our expert is as cool as a cucumber, as you'd expect.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32My time is almost up, and I feel quite bashful and ashamed,
0:27:32 > 0:27:36but I'm going to trace David's steps in where he came yesterday,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40because you never know what hasn't been upturned.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Some silver in that cabinet, some silver in this one.- Fine.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Bit of plate over there.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Maybe with my budget, plate's more what I'm after.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- That's a nice thing, isn't it? How early is it? - I don't think it's that early.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- 1960s?- Probably. - I quite like the form of this.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57It's a really stylish tapered and ribbed cocktail shaker.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02We've got the actual inner cover and the liner.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05It's quite striking, Ian.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09What does concern me is the fact that maybe when someone's been...
0:28:11 > 0:28:12..doing all of that...
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Quite clearly, it's been dropped,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18and there's this big indentation on its base down here.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22That will affect value, but, do you know what, to me, it's been used.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25It's been enjoyed. It's been thrown for the right reasons.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Careful!
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Sorry! Sorry, Ian.- It's all right.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35- Sorry, Ian.- You're rushing, aren't you? That's what it is. Chill.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39I'm in trouble, you see. What's the best price, then, on this?
0:28:39 > 0:28:43- Between friends.- Between friends. - Are you a man who negotiates hard?
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Um... Depending on cost.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49That one you can have for £25.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53I quite like it. £15?
0:28:53 > 0:28:57Give me 20 quid, that's it. That's it done. I can't do any more.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03Do you know what, I'd meet you halfway at £18.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Give me your money.- OK, Ian, money. There's your cocktail shaker.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Do you want it wrapped?
0:29:08 > 0:29:12- Ian, that would be great, please. - Newspaper, we can't afford tissue.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14On ice, Ian, please. Put it on ice for me.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17It's back in the Hillman Minx for Charles,
0:29:17 > 0:29:22who's now heading over to Ludlow, a town on the Shropshire Welsh border,
0:29:22 > 0:29:26overlooked by a picturesque medieval castle.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31He's meant to be meeting up with David, but instead,
0:29:31 > 0:29:34he's getting all flustered because it's closing time.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37I'm just panicking now. I've got literally 20 minutes to go,
0:29:37 > 0:29:4020 minutes to go, and I cannot find any other items
0:29:40 > 0:29:43apart from hopefully here is my last shot.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47It's got to be. Time is of the essence.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51So, can Don Bayliss antiques come up with one final killer item
0:29:51 > 0:29:55in the twilight moments of Charles's frantic shopping day?
0:29:55 > 0:30:00This is a quarter pint jug and it is marked with the word,
0:30:00 > 0:30:04what appears to be "Sterling." There's an "S".
0:30:04 > 0:30:10Beaded, nice scroll handle with an engraved initial
0:30:10 > 0:30:11"For E.P.,"
0:30:11 > 0:30:13who would have been the owner of this jug.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18It probably dates to around 1910. The feel of it feels like silver.
0:30:18 > 0:30:24With the silver values for scrap being at about £18 or £19,
0:30:24 > 0:30:28I tend to think, that's good value. But what's it worth?
0:30:28 > 0:30:33Priced at £30, can Charles wheedle out an end of the day deal?
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- Would you take for it £25?- 28.
0:30:37 > 0:30:43- £25.- Go on, then.- Don, look at me. Are you sure? Are you happy?- Yes.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48There's my jug. That's a gamble. Is it worth it?
0:30:48 > 0:30:50He's saying, yes it is. Great.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Phew. What a day.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56With the sun setting over Ludlow,
0:30:56 > 0:31:00it's time for our two experts to meet for the big reveal.
0:31:02 > 0:31:08So there we have the little Hornby train set signal box.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10David, I think it's splendid.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13I think it captures a great golden age of toy manufacture
0:31:13 > 0:31:16in our great country, but it's in its original box.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19It's clean, it's neat, it's tidy. Let me guess, David.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22I think you paid for this about £35.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26- I paid £20.- I found these, David.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- Oh, I saw those.- Did you?- Yes. I love the colour.- Yeah.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34What would you call the colour? It's not an amethyst.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- Its almost a citrine, isn't it? - Like a lemon tint.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Nice, but what about that stool?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Crikey me! It's possibly oak or beech.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45I don't know without uncoating it.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I wouldn't buy it.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- He doesn't mince his words. - I bought this.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56It's sweet, it's charming. Do you likey-likey?
0:31:56 > 0:32:00I love the colour green. I love the design, the bulrushes.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- I think that's a very nice buy. - Next, David.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- Uh-oh.- What a peculiar thing.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- But also, what came with it are two other little things.- Right.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- They're very aesthetic.- Exactly. Oh, you've got a Charlotte Reid.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Very nice, Charles. I think you paid round about £20 for that.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- It cost me £30. - You might get 45.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Oh, great!
0:32:21 > 0:32:26- Are they Clarice Cliff?- Yes. - They're just happy, happy fish.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29There's a chip there, David, as well. Big chip there.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Well, you've got fish and chips.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Listen, let me do the jokes, Barby.
0:32:34 > 0:32:41- That's nice. Is it silver?- No, David. It's not very clever and to be honest, David, I was panicking.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45I was racing around like a headless chicken and I just lost my marbles a bit.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47You've concentrated on drink-related items.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- Liquid, David, liquid. £18. - I think that's very good.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55- Now, for the fire guard. - That's nice. I congratulate you.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59That's our best find on our road trip so far. OK, David.
0:32:59 > 0:33:04That's your biggie. My last buy came only about an hour and a half ago.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- It's American silver.- Right, how much did you pay for it?
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- I paid £25.- That's OK.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Right.
0:33:12 > 0:33:18- This is what they term as a sedan.- Oh, right, OK.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Campaign chair.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26The last one that sold without the legs was in Christie's in 2008.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- How much did it make?- £625.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34David, I take my hat off to you, I congratulate you
0:33:34 > 0:33:37and I think you may be on to a real winner.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43But what do our experts really think of each other's buys?
0:33:43 > 0:33:47I think he bought well with the jug and vase. I can see that making a profit.
0:33:47 > 0:33:53The silver jug, I think that's going to be sold for scrap. there's too many dents in it.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56David's done really well. I'm actually really quite nervous.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00He's bought some really good things. I love his George III fire surround.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05I really, really adore his magnificent sedan chair.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07His smalls weren't really up to that much.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10He bought that awful, grotesque monkey jug,
0:34:10 > 0:34:13which to me was a job lot barely worth going to auction.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18So, with Charles just ahead of David and only £13 between them,
0:34:18 > 0:34:22our experts head south to fight it out in the auction room.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire is where they started
0:34:25 > 0:34:28this leg of the road trip, but it's Frome in Somerset
0:34:28 > 0:34:31where they face their next date with destiny.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Sitting on the edge of the pretty market town of Frome
0:34:40 > 0:34:43is the auction house, Cooper & Tanner.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44They sell everything here
0:34:44 > 0:34:49from cattle to household goods and fine antiques.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- David, do you know what?- What?
0:34:52 > 0:34:56- It feels like we're at a cattle market.- Here?- Yes.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- I'm sure it is. - Do you know what, David?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02I feel you might just make mincemeat of me.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05So, with the bidders gathering,
0:35:05 > 0:35:08what does auctioneer Dennis Barnard
0:35:08 > 0:35:10think of our experts' choices?
0:35:10 > 0:35:13The sedan chair is the one that's created most interest.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17People have been looking carefully at it, taking it outside.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19The jug and the ewer is very, very attractive.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22The good thing about that is it is small,
0:35:22 > 0:35:26but nowadays, people are collecting fewer items and things like that
0:35:26 > 0:35:30don't sell as well as they did even three or four years ago.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Charles started this leg with £261.88
0:35:34 > 0:35:36and a lot of dancing around,
0:35:36 > 0:35:39and spent £131 on five auction lots.
0:35:42 > 0:35:48David, however, started slightly down on his rival with £248.08,
0:35:48 > 0:35:52but went mad, spending £173 on six auction lots.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Gosh.
0:35:56 > 0:36:01Currently, Charles has a £13 lead on his rival, so can he hold on to it?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03It's all down to the auction.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- Here we are, coming up now. - Here we go. Keep it down.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Thank you, Charles.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Right. Here is David's completely intact fire guard,
0:36:13 > 0:36:15much coveted by Charles.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Start me off, somebody, at £20. £20, quickly.
0:36:18 > 0:36:2110, then, for the fire guard. Three we've got, three.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26- Come on!- Come on, this won't do. - It will do.- Charles, shut up.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29At £5, then, it's going to be gone at £5.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33£5, it's a crime,
0:36:33 > 0:36:36but I bet competitive Charles is secretly relieved.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40It was historical, it was important.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Look, Charles, it's hysterical.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Not historical, it's hysterical. That's so disappointing.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51Can David do any better with his old paint-covered stool?
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Where shall we start, £10, somebody?
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Five we've got down at the end, five and who's got eight?
0:36:57 > 0:37:01- Eight, 10 with the lady and 12, sir? - Come on, David.- I'm in profit.
0:37:01 > 0:37:0613, 14 and 15. 16, at 18, 20 now.
0:37:06 > 0:37:0922. All done? £22.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Excellent stuff. David is off.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17Can he keep flying with his star buy,
0:37:17 > 0:37:20which is similar to one sold at Christie's
0:37:20 > 0:37:22for more than £600, apparently.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27- I'm going to start from bids on the book at £40.- Great. A good start.
0:37:27 > 0:37:33- Good start, David.- 45 and 50. 50 and five. Now 60, 60 and five.
0:37:33 > 0:37:3970, sir? 75, 75 and 80, sir. 85, 85.
0:37:39 > 0:37:4190, sir.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Everybody happy at £90?
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- Oh, dear. Not quite the fireworks we were all hoping for.- Disappointing.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53I thought I was going to fly on that, I really did.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Still, time now for the boys to relocate to the other end
0:37:56 > 0:38:00of the auction and Charles is in the dock
0:38:00 > 0:38:02with his Staffordshire jug and bowl.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05It's my time, David. The moment is almost nigh.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Your place in history. - Start me at £10. 10 we've got, 10.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10You're in profit, Charles.
0:38:10 > 0:38:1315 and 20. 25, 30, 32. 34, 36.
0:38:13 > 0:38:18- Great! One more.- That is good.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Are we all done at £36?
0:38:20 > 0:38:26A £28 profit before costs. Now, that will get Charles excited.
0:38:26 > 0:38:31- Well done!- Great. A great start. - Well done.- Thank you, David.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- A great start.- Next, the silver jug.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36David thought it would go for scrap,
0:38:36 > 0:38:39but can it claw out another profit for Charles?
0:38:39 > 0:38:4530 on here, and 32. 32 and four now.
0:38:45 > 0:38:4836, 38, sir? 38 and 40 now.
0:38:49 > 0:38:5445 and 50 perhaps, sir? 55 with you, Brian, at 55.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Is everybody happy at 55? - We're really happy.
0:38:57 > 0:39:02Another healthy profit. The young pretender is storming ahead.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- Hanson is off to a great start.- It is amazing, actually. It is amazing.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09How does he do it, David?
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Next is the cocktail shaker.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17Will it be Margaritas all-round or could it end up as a Bloody Mary?
0:39:17 > 0:39:18Where shall we start?
0:39:18 > 0:39:21£10 on this one? £10. Three!
0:39:21 > 0:39:25- £3, yes! - That's not very sporting, David.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29- We've got three with Reg, who's got five?- Eight quickly.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34Who's bidding, eight? 10 now. 10 with you, sir.
0:39:34 > 0:39:3812 with the lady in the middle. 14, yours, then, at £14.
0:39:38 > 0:39:45A small loss, but not enough to dent Charles's £35 lead before costs.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- Gosh, you've been so lucky. - He's not bitter, you know.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54Now for Charles's expensive wine bottles minus their stoppers.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- I'm nervous.- I never thought you'd get nervous or worked up.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Start me at £10.
0:39:59 > 0:40:04- Oh, no!- We've got 12, 14, 16 there.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- 18 and 20.- One more, sir.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11It should do better than this. Are you all done at £18?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Oh, no. A disaster!
0:40:14 > 0:40:20- I'm wiped out. I'm completely wiped out, David.- Wait till my Clarice Cliff come up. They'll bomb.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22And here they are.
0:40:22 > 0:40:28£20, somebody. £20 we've got. Have we got 25? 30, 32, 35.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- They are worth more than that! - That's a good price.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37- At £35, they're going to be gone. - Oh, no!- You said it.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40That's wiped the smile off his face.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Next, David's job lot.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48A jug turned into a table lamp and two coffee cups without saucers.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- Great.- Start me at £10.
0:40:51 > 0:40:57- 10, 12, 14, sir. 14 now, 16. - Come on, come on!- £20, 22.
0:40:57 > 0:41:0124, 26. At 26, all done at £26.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06Well, that profit has put our two rivals virtually neck-and-neck.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07I was really worried about that.
0:41:07 > 0:41:12David will have to do a lot better to win this leg outright.
0:41:12 > 0:41:13Now for a bit of nostalgia.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18For all those men who play with trains.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20I think you've got a good market here.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24You've got a lot of old men who are going to reminisce.
0:41:24 > 0:41:30Where shall we start? £20 we've got. 25, 30, 35 and 40. 36, 38 there?
0:41:30 > 0:41:31That's good.
0:41:31 > 0:41:3742. On the right, is this the final lot? Final answer, £42.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41A good result, and all that puts David in the lead,
0:41:41 > 0:41:44but will it be enough to win outright?
0:41:44 > 0:41:46I tell you what, it's been like a roller-coaster.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- I know.- A big dipper.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- Up and plunging down and up again. - Just ride it, just ride it, David.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53I'll say.
0:41:53 > 0:42:00- Charles has one more lot to go. - Shall we start at £10? £3.- £3!
0:42:00 > 0:42:048 and 10. 15, 25.
0:42:04 > 0:42:0835 and 45. 45, 46.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Over there at £46, going to be gone at £46.
0:42:12 > 0:42:17And with that, Hanson clinches today's crown.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Good man. I'm happy, delighted. Delighted with that.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28David started this third leg with £248.08,
0:42:28 > 0:42:32and after auction costs,
0:42:32 > 0:42:34made a small profit of £7.40,
0:42:34 > 0:42:38leaving him with £255.48 going into the fourth round.
0:42:40 > 0:42:46Charles, on the other hand, began ahead with £261.88,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49and after costs, made £7.58,
0:42:49 > 0:42:54leaving him with £269.46 to spend
0:42:54 > 0:42:58and putting him yet again in the lead.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Well done, Carlos. You and your piggy bank.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05So, until the next time, it's bon voyage!
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- Go on, David!- Go on, boys, push!
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Yes!
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Thank you very much indeed. Wave goodbye to Somerset, Charles.
0:43:17 > 0:43:23- I thought we were in Wiltshire.- No! - OK.- This is Somerset.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25Hopeless!
0:43:25 > 0:43:29Next time on the road trip, David finds a novel form of exercise.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32He's then forced to put his new muscles to the test.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35- Have you got it in gear? - No, now I have.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38And Charles gets a right royal telling-off.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41Do you know, you're the most irritating person I absolutely...
0:43:41 > 0:43:43I know. I'm sorry.
