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 > 0:00:12Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?
0:00:12 > 0:00:16The aim is trade up, and hope that each antique turns a profit.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20But it's not as easy as it looks, and dreams of glory can end in tatters.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23I'm a loser! I'm a loser.
0:00:23 > 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 > 0:00:29Oh! There's a mouse! There's a mouse!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37We're still out there,
0:00:37 > 0:00:42fighting the elements and hurtling along the antiques highway.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47But it's our last trip for this fine pair of experts -
0:00:47 > 0:00:49David Barby and Charles Hanson.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51This is it, this is the big one.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- You've got such a lead on me, how on earth am I going to make it up? - I'm a lap ahead.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- But, you know, you've got some legs on you, I'm sure.- Not at my age!
0:00:58 > 0:01:01THEY LAUGH
0:01:01 > 0:01:08Known simply as the Master, a man with serious, intimidating depth of antiques knowledge,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12yet strangely, David Barby just loves to shop.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14I'm going in.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Can't resist a bargain.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19And giving "the Master" a run for his money,
0:01:19 > 0:01:23the young pretender himself, Bonnie Prince Charles Hanson.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26An all-action auctioneer from Derbyshire.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31With the commission to pay as well, It'd need 30 to break even for me.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Are you OK?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Yeah, sorry, Charles, yeah, I've just lost the will to live.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Well, he can go on a bit.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39LAUGHTER
0:01:39 > 0:01:44But that's not stopped Charles from making lots and lots of money this week.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- GAVEL BANGS - Oh, that is marvellous, Charles.
0:01:47 > 0:01:54So, from his original £200, Charles is standing proud with a robust £400.96.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57That's brought a smile to his face.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00And the finishing line is in sight.
0:02:00 > 0:02:07David, meanwhile, has struggled, despite his great skill, turning tiny profits through the week.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12Do you know, you're the most irritating person I absolutely... I'm going outside.
0:02:12 > 0:02:20So David languishes behind, his £200 barely swollen to £261.68.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26All he needs now is the luck of the road trip.
0:02:26 > 0:02:32But the super-cool 1959 Hillman Minx is taking him dangerously close to Charles's home patch.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36You know, I know people.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39What I'm concerned about is you going to these dealers' shops,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42and they'll know you, they'll greet you like a long-lost friend.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- "Charles! How wonderful to see you!" - Get out of here. THEY LAUGH
0:02:47 > 0:02:49This week's road trip is a huge 300-mile sprint -
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Lichfield, south to Frome, back up north to the Wirral Peninsula,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56and ending in Nottingham for the final showdown.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00On this leg, they're leaving Congleton, heading through Derbyshire,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03and ending up at auction in Nottingham.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Handsome, historical Stafford is the first port of call.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- Awful cold.- Oh!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Do you want a kiss?- No.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13THEY LAUGH
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Just keep wiping the windscreen with that snotty tissue.
0:03:17 > 0:03:24Preparations are already under way for an 1100th year anniversary of Stafford's foundation.
0:03:24 > 0:03:30Kind Alfred the Great's daughter, Ethelfleda, is no longer with us,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34but established the Borough of Stafford way back in AD 913.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36CAR DOOR SLAMS Come on, David, get eager!
0:03:36 > 0:03:40This is our last trip together. It's our last feeding frenzy of antiques.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- Why do you use such language? - Because this is it!
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- The...- Charles, do not touch me. You go down there, I'm going here.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50David, if you want to play hard, I'll play hard.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53David, it's only a game. David!
0:03:53 > 0:03:54A game to you, Charles.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59But David begins this final shopping trip £139.28 down,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01and he needs a plan.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04My word, the pressure is on, so I've got my work cut out.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06My ploy - spend the lot.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Church Lane Antiques offers two floors of intriguing prospects,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14with lovely assistant Maureen to help.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- Hello. Can I call you Maureen? - Please do.- Oh, good.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23- Now.- Hmm?- Is there anything that you personally think is absolutely a knock-out?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Well, where do I begin?
0:04:25 > 0:04:26I do like that.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Might make problems that it has no mark on it whatsoever.- Mm-hmm.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34And that's 120, so I'll be quite honest, I'm losing at the moment.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I'm £150 down on Charles Hanson.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41And this is why I hesitate at that price of 120.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Well, complaining isn't going to help.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Keep looking, David.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Gosh, there's another shop up here!
0:04:48 > 0:04:51This is beautiful, beautiful decoration.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53All of that is hand-painted.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57And the sides are emulating basketwork.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03The mark on the back is Spode. Spode started bone china.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08There was a factory called New Hall that produced hard-paste porcelain,
0:05:08 > 0:05:12and they sold the clay to other manufacturers.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16And Spode used that base of clay and put bone ash with it,
0:05:16 > 0:05:17hence the term bone china.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23The asking price for the Spode dish is £100,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27but now something else at £110 has caught David's eye.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Masonic cufflinks. - Enamelled on one side.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31That's a very acquired subject, isn't it?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35I wonder how many Masons would go into a general sale?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Masonic lodges have ancient traditions,
0:05:40 > 0:05:45founded by the Master Stonemasons who built Britain's castles and cathedrals,
0:05:45 > 0:05:49but many original members were unable to read,
0:05:49 > 0:05:55so trade symbols like the compass and set square were used in ceremonial items.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Like cufflinks.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01110, I think I said.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- So what would they be priced at? - 80.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08I'll give it to you for 60.
0:06:10 > 0:06:17So, with his familiar hurt expression on display, David is wanting three items.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22The £100 Spode dish, the £110 Masonic cufflinks,
0:06:22 > 0:06:26and the £120 Arts and Crafts box.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30But he wants them all at £60 each.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33I'll make a call.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Hi, Stuart. No, he would like all three at £60 each.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Sharp intake of breath.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42All three at 200.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Can we split the difference?- Hang on a sec. Have a word, it's Stuart.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49I think 180 is the price I'd like to offer for these.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54That is a difference, 190, God, that leaves me nothing.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55All right, 190.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00OK, I'm metaphorically shaking your hands.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Ha ha! And now Stuart might be wise to, metaphorically speaking, check his wallet and his watch.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Thank you very much. - It's been a pleasure.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Really?
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Oh, well.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15And whilst David's growing in confidence, Charles appears to be shrinking.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Ian, I've never come across such a big copper kettle in my life.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23You've got the biggest kettle I've ever seen.
0:07:23 > 0:07:29It was a shop sign, Charles, that used to hang outside Dale's Shop in Stafford in 1828.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It would have watched dandies and ladies of the day walk past.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Charles Dickens stayed opposite. - Really?- At the Swan Hotel.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- And they say that he wrote The Old Curiosity Shop based on this genuine shop.- Really?
0:07:40 > 0:07:44That's amazing, Ian. And if it could talk, what could it tell us?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Well, one thing it would tell us... - Yeah.- ..is it's got pellet holes here.- Oh, yes?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- And they were put in by the delivery boy for Dale.- Really?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- He didn't like working for Dale, so he decided to shoot the side. - Really?
0:07:56 > 0:08:00As far as provenance goes, this enormous antique has just about the best you can get.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03HE SIGHS
0:08:03 > 0:08:07But can proud Ian let it leave the safety of his shop?
0:08:08 > 0:08:14Ian, I've got £400 in my kitty really, and I don't mind paying a bit for it.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15What's your best price?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- (It's not for sale.) - Is it not for sale?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Ian, I think it's great, and it's great to see.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25And whilst Charles goes off the boil, happy shopper David's gone for a rummage.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Strangely choosing a rather lovely charity shop,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33providing funds for the local Katharine House Hospice.
0:08:33 > 0:08:40Liz and Alex lend their time here, but have they got time for Barby's business?
0:08:40 > 0:08:45Aren't these so stylish? These were produced in 1978, limited edition.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47This is by Royal Doulton.
0:08:47 > 0:08:53So we've got Pierrot and Punchinello, oh, this is Columbine.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57But aren't they absolutely superb? For £6.50 each.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Mais oui.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Tease!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I'm going to buy these.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03You are going to buy these?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I'm letting my heart rule my head, I think.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07- £6.50 each, then.- Ah!
0:09:07 > 0:09:12For goodness's sake! Please don't haggle, David, it's a charity shop.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- £19.50.- Yes.- Will you take £20 for me?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much.- That's very kind of you.
0:09:18 > 0:09:1950p?
0:09:19 > 0:09:25Yet how delightful to see David actually paying more than the asking price.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30And shopping-wise, he's putting the young pretender to shame.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Bit concerned, frantic shopping, but I'll get there.
0:09:36 > 0:09:42But where Hanson refused to purchase, Barby now dares to tread.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Stand by, Ian.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- Hello.- Hello, how are you?- David Barby, we've met before, haven't we?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Nice to meet you. Somewhere along the line.- Your face is so familiar. - Is it?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Perhaps you've met me in a... - Don't say anything else.- No.- No.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56THEY LAUGH
0:09:56 > 0:10:02Well, quite. Actually, I think there are rather too many familiar faces here in Stafford today.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Oh, my goodness me!
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I know neither of us are fans of these items,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12but we need to make a profit.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13- Do I like them?- No.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Do I like them?- No.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Well, you don't have to like them.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Royal Doulton's talented designer, Harry Simeon,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29reinvented the classic Toby jug in the 1920s,
0:10:29 > 0:10:36creating full head, full colour character jugs of famous British heroes and villains.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38But can this motley crew turn David a profit?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Because you're knocking the stuff, you can have one, two, three,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47four, five, six pieces for £50.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- What about 40?- 40?!
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- You want to get rid of them. - Not that desperately. £50.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59I like 40. Give me a chance at 40.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- I'll tell you what, 45 quid. - Split the difference. 42.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Oh, you're a hard man. He's a hard man, isn't he?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Yeah, go on then.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12Very wise, Ian. Back down before the sob story starts.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Three. Did we say 40?- We said 42.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23You don't want to split into a tenner, do you?
0:11:23 > 0:11:28- Do you want to flick?- Yeah. - Have you got a coin?- No.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- You can have it for 40 quid, go on. - Thank you very much.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- That's all right.- Thank you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Well, what's £2 if it gets David out of the shop?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Some would say cheap at the price.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Now, he could be stealing a shopping lead on his young tormentor.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47I really, really, really enjoy winding David up.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Because David's very easy to wind up.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54David just seems to be rambling around, whilst with me,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I'm fairly focussed. That's why I'm winning
0:11:56 > 0:11:59But I'm still nervous because David's the sort of expert
0:11:59 > 0:12:02who can suddenly pull a real find out the bag.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05With a fair wind behind him,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08the Road Trip is lurching hard of starboard
0:12:08 > 0:12:12to take Charles on a historical maritime adventure in Milford.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Not quite Hanson country,
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Charles is headed to the former home of the Anson family.
0:12:21 > 0:12:27From 1624, Shugborough Estate was home to local lawyer William Anson.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31A century later, great-grandson Admiral George Anson
0:12:31 > 0:12:34would make the family very rich and famous.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39# We'll set sail again
0:12:39 > 0:12:42# Heading for the Spanish Main. #
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Oh, look at this. Wowee!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Well, you're right there, Charles.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50That is one entrance, isn't it?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Charles is about to meet with project development manager Coreen Caddy.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Not an Anson?- No, not an Anson.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I am a Hanson, you see.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02So it almost feels, drop the H, I'm coming home.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Well, I have to say you'd be following in some very fine footsteps if you were an Anson,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09because we have some very grand heritage.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- What are you trying to say? - I'm saying nothing.
0:13:13 > 0:13:21George Anson became 18th century Britain's most successful and celebrated naval hero,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23though strangely not that well known today,
0:13:23 > 0:13:28taking historical second place to that Admiral Horatio fellow.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30When I think of naval heroes,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I think of Nelson, Trafalgar, the Egyptian campaign and all of that.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Everybody knows about Nelson, but nobody talks about Anson.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40And yet we would argue strongly
0:13:40 > 0:13:44that he's the biggest naval hero of all time.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47So how did he suddenly acquire all of this money and new found wealth?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Twice a year there was a large Spanish treasure ship
0:13:51 > 0:13:53that crossed the Pacific.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56It was loaded with Spanish treasure from the South Americas.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01- Everything you can imagine. Gold, jewels.- Precious stones.- Absolutely.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05George, being very ambitious, went to King George
0:14:05 > 0:14:10and said, "I think I can capture that treasure galleon for you."
0:14:10 > 0:14:16In 1739, Admiral Anson requested 1,000 fit men on ships
0:14:16 > 0:14:20for a daring escapade to capture the treasure.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25He did get his 1,000 men, but he had 170 people from hospitals,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27so sick and injured soldiers,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31265 Chelsea pensioners with an average age of 70.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36I'm afraid to say that all the pensioners were dead before they got to Madeira.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39As they rounded the tip of South America, several ships broke up.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42One crew mutinied.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46They ended up in the San Francisco area with just 100 men left and the flagship.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- And the flagship which was? - The Centurion.- The Centurion.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54Last remaining ship, the Centurion finally had a piece of good luck
0:14:54 > 0:14:57whilst hunting the Spanish galleon.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Would you believe, they actually happened on it by accident?
0:15:00 > 0:15:05They spent months seeking it and failed. They stumbled across it and thought, "Shall we have a go?"
0:15:05 > 0:15:09And they captured it. It was absolutely loaded with treasures.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13In the 18th century, for naval ships' crews,
0:15:13 > 0:15:17the capture of every enemy ship and cargo was called prize money,
0:15:17 > 0:15:23part of which was passed back to every sailor, no matter how junior.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26So I think of myself as a bit of a treasure hunter.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Now I'm trying to gather these antiques to make a small profit at auction.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Not really for Queen and Country today but just more for my competition.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36But I'm thinking of gold coins and real treasure, you know?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Big chests of jewels, falling out. Any of that here?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Well, you say you're the treasure hunter,
0:15:43 > 0:15:44it's up to you to hunt them out.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46OK. I'll follow you.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Coreen, is there any treasure around here?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Well, perhaps not the treasure you're quite looking for.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57However I would say this lump of wood is perhaps my favourite treasure.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- It looks like a piece of driftwood. - It's far more important than that.
0:16:01 > 0:16:07This is the last remaining piece of the figurehead of HMS Centurion,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10the ship that captured all of the Spanish treasure.
0:16:10 > 0:16:17Amazingly, this fine relic of our maritime history spent many years
0:16:17 > 0:16:21as both a pub sign and then garden furniture at Chelsea Hospital
0:16:21 > 0:16:25before its incredible value to Britain was rediscovered in the 1920s.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27A national treasure indeed
0:16:27 > 0:16:30and surely enough to satisfy our Charles.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34The cabinet marks the spot.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Wow! So, Coreen, this is what I've been waiting for. This is it.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- There's not much here, is there? - No, there's not much.- No.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Most of it was reminted for the King.
0:16:43 > 0:16:49Charles must sadly make do with the few remaining spoils of George Anson's historic voyage.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52The captured Spanish captain's compass
0:16:52 > 0:16:57and a few gold doubloons that escaped the minting furnace.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- Ms Caddy, thank you very, very much. - Bye-bye.- Bye-bye.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Goodbye, Miss Caddy, indeed.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09Now, Charles and David head for their hammocks as the day draws to an end.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Sweet dreams, shipmates!
0:17:16 > 0:17:22Day two begins suddenly with great expectations for the final shopping showdown.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- Why do you have to fiddle? Do you have to keep your hands occupied all the time?- Sorry!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I can't believe it!
0:17:32 > 0:17:33So far, Charles has spent...
0:17:33 > 0:17:38well, nothing. Not a sausage.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42A red-hot £400.96 is still burning a hole in his pocket.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47I ought to buy all three but the problem is, they're quite boring.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51David, meanwhile, got cracking spending £250 on five items.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57The Arts and Crafts box, the Spode serving dish,
0:17:57 > 0:18:02the Masonic cufflinks, the Dolton plates and a bevy of character jugs.
0:18:05 > 0:18:11David has only £11.68 to his name, but no regrets so far.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15For once, I have let my head rule my heart.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18But, oh dear! I do dislike them.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Hi, mum. Hi, dad.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24I'm with Dave!
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Milford now joins the list
0:18:28 > 0:18:32of wonderful English places in David and Charles's past.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37The road trip pushes on once more 34 miles east to Derby.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- Our last waltz together. - I used to do the Charleston. - You didn't!- I did.- You didn't?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I loved doing the Charleston.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Seven! Huh!
0:18:49 > 0:18:54So, our light-footed experts trip their way into Charles Hanson's local town.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56On 4th December 1745,
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Derby played host to that other young pretender,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Bonnie Prince Charlie.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05He set up his council of war here.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09This is a massive day today.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10We're in Derbyshire, my homeland.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14It's an iconic day for me because I've got to buy all my items in Derbyshire.
0:19:14 > 0:19:20To round off my road would be to beat David Barby. Will it happen? I really hope so.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Good morning.- Good morning. How nice to see you, old fellow!
0:19:24 > 0:19:31Luckily, Colin and Julie are here to help if Charles can maintain his fear of influence.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37Colin, the little decanter set. Look at that colour. It' radiant, gaudy, it is very art deco.
0:19:37 > 0:19:44- At auction, it might make £25. It might make 30. And you're only asking £25 for it.- Cheaper than charity!
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- Well, I'm a charitable case here. - Don't knock me down, Charles, on £25.- Do you know what?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52If I was to come to your saleroom, it'd be 45.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Ooh! Suddenly the local connections are not in Charles's favour.
0:19:58 > 0:20:04- What does affect value, Colin, is this corroding here. - It's not corrosion, it's muck.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Is it? Colin, where there's muck, there's brass.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10It just wants cleaning.
0:20:10 > 0:20:17I'd be happy to pay £25 for it with a caveat, OK.
0:20:17 > 0:20:23- And my caveat is this. If Julie, Julie?- Yes.- Yes, it's Julie.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28- Sorry, Julie.- If Julie can take this muck off, I'll pay £25 for it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:34- If she can't, I'll only pay £15 for it.- OK. Silvo.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Let's get the Silvo out and start rubbing then.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- All right, we are in business. - I'm rubbing as hard as I can.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48- It is coming off actually.- I don't believe it!- Look at that shine.- Wow!
0:20:48 > 0:20:54It actually looks like Charles Hanson will have two pay a full ticket price for an antique.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Colin.- Shake it, shake it, shake it.- Exactly.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00He's got me as well.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Colin, you shook me, you rattled me.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08- I shook you.- At £25, you've got me. It's a deal. Thank you, Julie. Well done!
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Well done, Colin, and hats off to the lovely hard-working Julie, eh?
0:21:12 > 0:21:17This derby chancer might wish he'd stayed in Staffordshire perhaps.
0:21:18 > 0:21:24This is a county map of Stafford, made in the years 1818 and 1819.
0:21:24 > 0:21:30What I like about this map is, if you look carefully, you can see it's done in little rectangles
0:21:30 > 0:21:35because the map was pasted on to a canvas
0:21:35 > 0:21:41and there are little gaps between each section to allow the canvas to be folded.
0:21:41 > 0:21:47So this was a map that you would use on a journey. You would travel, rather like the road trip.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51These days, it's sat nav but those were the days of coach.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I love maps.
0:21:53 > 0:21:59They're not only ingenious, a cartographer's art, but also, they are wonderful to look at.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02This is our history in detail
0:22:04 > 0:22:07I've spotted this little green Street glass bowl.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10It's hand-blown. There's a ground pontil mark on the base
0:22:10 > 0:22:14where the rod has been blown and snapped off to create this wonderful design.
0:22:14 > 0:22:22But the way it sits is very evocative of the arts and crafts, evocative of a return to nature
0:22:22 > 0:22:24and very much of the art nouveau.
0:22:24 > 0:22:31The swirl of the air bubbles and the way this base has been blown shows a certain honesty.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Mm. The posy bowl is certainly very beautiful.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42Those bubbles were hypnotic but at £15, can it turn a profit?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- I quite like this little bowl here. - There's not a lot of money in it.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52- You're not going to make any money buying a cheap thing like that. - I've got to beat David Barbie.
0:22:52 > 0:22:58If you double its price, what's £8 in a competition? You want to be making £80.
0:22:58 > 0:23:05- You think my game plan is all wrong?- You've got to change the style and go upmarket.
0:23:05 > 0:23:11I never thought I'd see the day(!) Charles? Exposed as a bit cheap(?)
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Any bit of help. £5 for it?
0:23:14 > 0:23:18£8, Charles, it's yours. That's almost half price.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22£6? Going once! Come on, Colin!
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- Go on then.- It's gone!
0:23:24 > 0:23:29Well done, Charles, but is this all you want from your beloved Derbyshire today?
0:23:29 > 0:23:38I ought to be really buoyant by the fact I'm in Derby, but, in fact, I'm not. Something is going wrong.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I've got to somehow pull the cat out of the bag.
0:23:41 > 0:23:48Luckily, fellow dandy, Dennis, is just waiting to help down at Ashbourne Road antiques.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Hop to it, Charles!
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Hi! Good to see you. Charles Hanson.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I feel underdressed compared to you.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57The cravat, you know, this look.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- It's fantastic!- You're really kind.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06- I'm looking for things that are a bit quirky, a bit different. - You've come to the right place.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Is that silver in this little loving cup?
0:24:08 > 0:24:13- You know your stuff. - Get out of here!- You didn't say, is that silver, which is plated,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15you went straight to that.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20I like this decoration. It's beautifully cast and gilded also.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21On the base, it says,
0:24:21 > 0:24:27"The Royal Christening, August 1982."
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Which royal was christened in 82?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31MUMBLES
0:24:31 > 0:24:36- You've got all this information. I'm hoping you would tell me. - William! Will's! Will's!
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- Prince William who got married recently.- I'm not an historian like you.- Get out of here!
0:24:40 > 0:24:45The reason I like it is it's quite a modern design.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47I wonder who the maker is. Do we know?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- It's a lovely little piece. - It's Stuart Devlin.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Charles, you wanted a great find, you've got one.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00Stuart Devlin is one of the best contemporary silversmiths,
0:25:00 > 0:25:06designer of Australia's decimal coinage and Olympic medals as well as his famous decorative eggs.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Dennis, I'm a local man. I'm always at your disposal, OK?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Boys stick together in Derby, don't we?- That's right.
0:25:12 > 0:25:18Exactly! I quite like that because it's a decorative object. What's the best price on it?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Well, I'm in your expert hands.
0:25:20 > 0:25:26- Well, Dennis, you know. - Whatever you say is gospel. - Oh, Dennis, I can't do that!
0:25:26 > 0:25:29It's got £99 on it. Give us 100 for cash.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35100? Euros, pounds, sterling?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37We're talking pounds.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- What's your absolute best price?- £75.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Oh, Dennis. We're getting close now.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Getting really close.- £70 because I like you.- Get out of here! - You're a wonderful guy.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Dennis, I'll pay £70 for it.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- Brother? - I think you're being fair. - Give me a high five.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- Are we in?- Yes, I think you're being fair.- Sold for £70! Dennis, what have I done?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Dennis, I do love your style.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- We're a similar size. I'm going to start wearing cravats. I'm serious.- OK.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- If that's the case, there you go. - You know what? I love cravats. I've never worn a cravats before.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- So you do it up like that? - Look at that! - Dennis, I kid you not.
0:26:15 > 0:26:21- I will start wearing cravats. Can I borrow this?- You can have that one. - Are you serious?- You can have it.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24It's worth almost as much as my silver loving cup. I love it.
0:26:24 > 0:26:30Hats off again to that Derbyshire dandy and his new sartorial friend.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34This weeks shopping is now heading for a crunch photo finish.
0:26:37 > 0:26:44Back with David and he's decided to play it safe with no further investment. Bless him!
0:26:44 > 0:26:48I'm probably an old fuddy-duddy. I think I am.
0:26:48 > 0:26:56If I was Charles, I'd be very, very cautious and not risk that £150 lead he's made.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Of course, it's too late to worry about that.
0:26:59 > 0:27:05From a coalface of antique shopping, David is breaking free with literary abandon.
0:27:05 > 0:27:12Heading briefly out of town where a very important house awaits his arrival.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Number 8a Victoria Street, Eastwood.
0:27:16 > 0:27:22On 11 September 1885, Arthur and Lydia Lawrence had their fourth child, David Herbert.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Best known today as the romantic novelist, DH Lawrence.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- Please come in to see Mrs Lawrence's home. - Thank you very much indeed. Gosh!
0:27:37 > 0:27:44In the late 19th century, employment in this part of the world centred on the culprits.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Young DH Lawrence grew up with a strong coal miner father
0:27:48 > 0:27:54and an educated mother who inspired his passion for words.
0:27:54 > 0:28:00Today, local heritage assistant, Jackie Greaves, has the pleasure of educating David.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07Where did he achieve his scholastic ability? I notice the bookcase over there.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Mrs Lawrence was an uncertified teacher. This is DH Lawrence's mother.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14All through his life, he really had quite a lot of illness
0:28:14 > 0:28:19so he spent a lot of time at home with his mother who sort of home tutored him here.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23She used to encourage her children to read, particularly the eldest, Emily.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27She used to read to the younger children quite a lot. Swiss Family Robinson was a favourite.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Success as a writer would come many years later.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37Lawrence's greatest novels, The Rainbow, Women in Love and, of course, Lady Chatterley's Lover,
0:28:37 > 0:28:44all drew on the frustration and aspiration of the educated working class man.
0:28:46 > 0:28:53This museum has been lovingly recreated to resemble the home of a 19th-century coalminer's son.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57Arthur Lawrence, DH Lawrence's father, was actually a coal miner.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02In those days they had the tin loaf which was designed to bake the bread in the right shape
0:29:02 > 0:29:04and the ladies make their own.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- A very thick sandwich? - Yes.- What would have been in it?
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- Cheese and pickle?- Well, they weren't, unfortunately, able to take cheese.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16- Arthur Lawrence worked about 750 feet underground so it was too hot for cheese.- It would just melt.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21But the ladies made my favourite, which was home-made jam or bread and dripping,
0:29:21 > 0:29:23an old-fashioned favourite at the time.
0:29:23 > 0:29:29- That helped keep the bread nice and moist. - Oh! That is wonderful history!
0:29:30 > 0:29:36Published in 1913, DH Lawrence's third novel, Sons and Lovers,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39is often regarded as his first masterpiece.
0:29:40 > 0:29:46The realistic tale of a stifled miner's son trying to rise up from his background,
0:29:46 > 0:29:55the novel also deals explicitly with sexual awakening and was heavily edited before publication.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Amazingly, the full racy version was not available until 1992.
0:30:02 > 0:30:07All this creativity came from humble, cash-strapped origins.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12Jackie has just one last item to make our David feel humble.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- Here, we have a coal carving. - Sorry, what?
0:30:14 > 0:30:19- Carving made of coal.- Right. - It was quite commonplace in this area
0:30:19 > 0:30:22because people didn't really have surplus money to buy gifts.
0:30:22 > 0:30:28So, a lot of people made their own presents. DH Lawrence made this for a friend. It is a pen stand.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- It's so light, isn't it?- Yes.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35So there would have been a little ink bottle there so that hole is to secure it in place
0:30:35 > 0:30:36so it wouldn't slide.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41- And the pens rested there.- Yes.- That is incredible. And he carved this?
0:30:41 > 0:30:44He carved it for his friend and, writing a note along with that,
0:30:44 > 0:30:47he said if he didn't like it, he could put it in the fire for fuel.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- How wonderful! - So it wasn't a wasted gift.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- I feel quite privileged to handle this actually.- You are.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58You really, really are, David. You lucky chap.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02David sets out to rejoin his competitor.
0:31:02 > 0:31:10With tales of Derbyshire drudgery and shopping struggles, let's hope he's dressed appropriately.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- Could you let me into a secret? - Yes, David.- Why are you wearing that pink and blue cravat?
0:31:14 > 0:31:20- I am wearing it for you. - That's lovely. I am so impressed and quite touched.- Thanks, David.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21Oh, do get on with it!
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Here's my first item. - Oh! I like it, David.
0:31:24 > 0:31:29- If you look very closely at this little stem here, you can even see little hairs.- I know!
0:31:29 > 0:31:32You buy quality. You by a big capital "A" for antique.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36David, I've gone for that little shake, rattle and roll.
0:31:36 > 0:31:42- Crikey me! Look at that!- First of all, I love the colour. Date wise, it's got to be 40s or 50s.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Yes, I was hoping it might be earlier but I think you're right. I think it's stylish.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- It is complete. I love this cracked effect.- So do I. I like that immensely.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55And now David can impress with a thing of beauty.
0:31:55 > 0:32:00- Hello! It's a lovely copper cigar box.- You've got this lovely seaweed motif and then the shell detail.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05- Does it have legs, Charles? - Oh, David, it has long legs.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09I'm feeling a bit sick at the moment because I'm panicking. I bought that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Something about it gave me a lift, David.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I love the fact that it's handmade, it's spun.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- The whole thing is full of handcrafted work.- What's it worth?
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- 20?- Mmm. I thought maybe about 30, but I'm wrong.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24But £6, David, I can't go wrong, can I?
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- These are wonderful, David. - They're nine-carat gold.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28They're not gold?!
0:32:28 > 0:32:31They are beautifully enamelled, in good condition.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- I suspect they cost you about... - Quite a lot.- Were they a lot?- £70.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37I think they have got legs.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40This is my star lot. Ooh. Feel it!
0:32:40 > 0:32:46- That is lovely.- Oh, David! That's poetry in my ears. Who's it by?
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- I hope I'm right. SD.- Stuart Devlin. - Yes! Do you think it is?
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Yeah. Regardless of the weight of the silver, Stuart Devlin,
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- he's going through the roof.- Yes.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57That is so good. Stuart Devlin.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00But it's also 1980s.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Could we get something a little bit older perhaps?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Oh, my...- Don't say anything at all. - Muy bueno, senor. Are they Spanish?
0:33:06 > 0:33:11These are all subject matter taken from the Italian comedy, and
0:33:11 > 0:33:15all of the designs are by an artist from the '70s called LeRoy Neiman.
0:33:15 > 0:33:21- They are like jewels on the wall. I paid £19.50.- You didn't.- I did.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- £19 and 50 pence?- Yes, for the three.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28And a 50p donation to the hospice. So £20, really.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33- Come on. - That and that.- Oh. Beswick Micawber.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- I paid £40.- You didn't!- I did. - So maybe you paid a bit too much.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- Oh, dear, Charles. - But it doesn't matter.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Because I paid £40 to include that one.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45David Barby, you're beginning to play like me now.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50David, you've got Charles on the ropes. Can you go for the knockout?
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Good condition. Oh, hello.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56- I'm not quite sure what's going on here, David.- There we are.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59I'm sweating now. I'm beginning to feel a tension
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- and a goose pimple approaching, because...- And...
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- Oh, come on.- No, no, no more!
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- David Barby, I don't believe it.- It's good, isn't it?- That's too good.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09But is it really TOO good?
0:34:09 > 0:34:13What do you chaps really, really think?
0:34:13 > 0:34:17I'm very disappointed in Charles's objects
0:34:17 > 0:34:19because he didn't spend all his money.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22We're about to freefall into our finale. I'm very nervous.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25He's brought a really, really good, varied mix.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28The star object is his Stuart Devlin commemorative cup.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31But hopefully Hanson's silver cup will be hoisted up
0:34:31 > 0:34:33and that will be my crowning glory.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35That's the spirit.
0:34:35 > 0:34:41Always good to aim high, no matter how ridiculously unrealistic.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45First of all, let's get our chaps to auction.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- What will you miss most about us being together?- You driving, Charles.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52You drive me to distraction.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55The road trip gets a wriggle on, heading 15 miles east,
0:34:55 > 0:35:00across Brian Clough Way, and over the county line.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Last stop for the week is Nottingham.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Today is, finally, an auction day,
0:35:08 > 0:35:14so our road trip renegades arrive in fresh attire, raring to go.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19Well, Charles, here we are, the final curtain. My goodness me.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22It's the end of the romance between you and I.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- You used to work here, didn't you? - 10 years ago.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- Bring back happy memories? - So much so.
0:35:27 > 0:35:33Opened in 1993, Mellors and Kirk are well known for fine art sales,
0:35:33 > 0:35:35antiques and today's general sale.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40Our Charles cut his teeth here as a young sales porter
0:35:40 > 0:35:42and fledgling auctioneer,
0:35:42 > 0:35:46and the prodigal son returns.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48But what does auctioneer Nigel Kirk
0:35:48 > 0:35:51think of the mixed offerings from both our experts?
0:35:51 > 0:35:56Well, I'm afraid the glass objects are of minimal value
0:35:56 > 0:35:59and, frankly, I'd be grateful for any sum that we got bid.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02David's bought a selection of character jugs,
0:36:02 > 0:36:05so I think he's gone for quantity, not quality.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08The three plates are very modern
0:36:08 > 0:36:11but really they would be better consigned to a charity shop
0:36:11 > 0:36:13rather than a fine art auctioneer.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Funny you should say that.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22So David started today's show with just £261.68
0:36:22 > 0:36:27and spent a daring £250 of it on five auction lots.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33Charles started slowly and, well, ended up slowly too,
0:36:33 > 0:36:38spending just £101 from his healthy £400.96 balance
0:36:38 > 0:36:43on a mere three auction lots.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Our experts straighten their ties and take their seats.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51How does it feel that this young pretender has taken a mantle
0:36:51 > 0:36:53over the might of David Barby?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Every dog has to have his day.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Down, boy! And hush now.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00The sale's about to start.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05David's corking Spode dish is first up for grabs.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08£30 for it, please. 30? 20?
0:37:08 > 0:37:0920 I'm bid.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Thank you, sir. 20, 30, 40.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14£40. Any more?
0:37:14 > 0:37:18Selling at 40, 50, 60. £60. Second row, selling at £60.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24A disappointing start for David, especially on such a lovely item.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29- Will you catch me up? - I don't know. One lives in hope.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Stranger things have happened.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36Could the gold Masonic cufflinks turn the tide for David?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- £20 for them, please. - Take it steady.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- Oh, Charles.- Let's get them sold. - 40?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43£30 it is. 40. 50. 60.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- £70.- Come on.- Commission bid. I'll sell.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52- That's OK.- It's not.- You broke even. - Don't try and console me.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54It's best to say nothing, actually.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59And now the young pretender's first lot seeks some decisive bidding.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01£20 for it, please. 20?
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- £10.- Come on.- Do we have a bid? Five I'm bid, thank you.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06At five. 10, may I say?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Oh, dear me.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11£5 only, and I shall sell it at £5.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14That's all I thought it was worth.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Quite possibly.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19But a shame for Charles. I think that £1 loss really hurt.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21I can't believe it.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25So, let's have something bright and cheerful to lift our spirits.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27£20 for them, may I see?
0:38:27 > 0:38:3010 I'm bid. Thank you. At 10. 15, 20.
0:38:30 > 0:38:3425? At £20. On my right, I'm selling at 20.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Broke even.- What happened?
0:38:37 > 0:38:38The auctioneer is speedy.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43And that means David's chances are fading fast.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49David, it's never over until the last gavel falls on your very last lot.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54True enough, but first Charles's startling cocktail set
0:38:54 > 0:38:56wants to dazzle the room.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01- 20? £10.- Oh, no.- 10 I'm bid. Thank you, at £10.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- 15 for it?- One more.- 15.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07Charles, dear friend, you're going to need more than just one more.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09£15, I shall sell it.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11£15.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13No great shakes there, then, Charles,
0:39:13 > 0:39:15but you are still ahead on the week.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19What can David do with this motley crew of hopefuls?
0:39:19 > 0:39:23- We're nearly there, Charles. - Will we keep in touch afterwards?
0:39:23 > 0:39:24I doubt we will.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28Ooh. Let's just get on with the sale, shall we?
0:39:28 > 0:39:2920?
0:39:29 > 0:39:3220 I'm bid, thank you, sir. At 20, 30, 40.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35£40. No more? Selling at 40.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Whoo! Was that it?
0:39:37 > 0:39:44David Barby's mugs were mugged. So cruelly and, well, quickly.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49I think this auction will hang on one thing, OK, and it's coming up next.
0:39:49 > 0:39:54And here it is. Charles's prize sterling-silver commemorative cup.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00The style of it is so neat for that decade. I love it.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02£30. 40. 50.
0:40:02 > 0:40:0460. 70.
0:40:04 > 0:40:0680. 90. 100.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10- Keep going. - At £100 on my left. 120.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11130?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13At 120. I will sell.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17That's good. My dream is about to crack open. Champagne?
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Maybe a bit early, Charles.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Though I have to say, you look unbeatable now.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28David must pray the lovely Art Nouveau box
0:40:28 > 0:40:30can turn copper into cash.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32You could hear a pin drop in here.
0:40:32 > 0:40:3550. Any interest? 50, 30.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36Nobody want it? 30, 40.
0:40:36 > 0:40:3950, 60, 70, 80 with me.
0:40:39 > 0:40:4290 to you. 100. 110. 120 here.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47- 130? At 120.- Good price, David. - Selling with me at £120.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- All done?- That's amazing.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51I commend you for finding an antique.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55I think we all commend David Barby today.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59But sadly that double-your-money sale is just not enough
0:40:59 > 0:41:00to beat Charles.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- Come on, David, congratulations.- No.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06You're the one that has congratulations. Well done, Charles.
0:41:06 > 0:41:11Brave words in the face of defeat. What a nice chap.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Sadly, after paying auction costs,
0:41:13 > 0:41:20David's £261.68 grew by a mere £4.20.
0:41:20 > 0:41:25David ends his road trip with £265.88,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27but he can hold his head high.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34The local hero began with £400.96
0:41:34 > 0:41:40and turned another modest profit of £13.80.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45Charles ends the week with £414.76. Well done, boy.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51The chaps' combined profits will go to Children in Need.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Congratulations to that victorious young pretender,
0:41:55 > 0:41:59and, David, no sweat. It's Hanson-town.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04Give me a high five, David. It's been a great day.
0:42:04 > 0:42:10David, this great business, there is so much luck involved, and all the romance, long may it continue.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- You've taught me so much. - I hope so, David.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17I do wish David would stop mentioning romance,
0:42:17 > 0:42:22but then, this pair have had quite a week together. No, not like that.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25# It takes two, baby
0:42:25 > 0:42:26# It takes two, baby... #
0:42:26 > 0:42:29David Barby, what's happened?!
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- I tripped last night.- You didn't! - This is a sympathy vote.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- Shall we shop as a couple? - I'd rather not.- Why not?
0:42:35 > 0:42:38We're not married. Thank God!
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Oh, sugars.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46David! Come on! David!
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- Who are you up against? - Charles Hanson.- Oh, no contest.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51And may the best man...win.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52Oh, no.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54- Can't believe it. - This is hard work today.
0:42:54 > 0:42:59- Selling now, 150.- You've well and truly nailed me today.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Well, let's hope they both learn from each other.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- Come on.- I've got to calm down. It's been such an exciting day.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11THEY LAUGH
0:43:11 > 0:43:15Next time on the Antiques Road Trip, it's out with the old
0:43:15 > 0:43:16and in with the new,
0:43:16 > 0:43:20as we hook up with antiques experts Mark Stacey and Margie Cooper.
0:43:22 > 0:43:23Farewell till then.
0:43:26 > 0:43:31You are a sort of Road Trip virgin, if you like. MARGIE LAUGHS
0:43:31 > 0:43:34- You know my biggest problem?- What?
0:43:34 > 0:43:37- My hair blowing about in this car. - Oh, right.
