0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts, with £200 each,
0:00:05 > 0:00:07a classic car and a goal -
0:00:07 > 0:00:09to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11That hurts!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13My sap is rising.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction,
0:00:17 > 0:00:18but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Could you do 50 quid on that?
0:00:22 > 0:00:25So, will it be the high road to glory,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Your steering is a bit lamentable.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:36 > 0:00:39We're out and about with a right pair of mischief makers.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Auctioneers James Braxton and Charles Hanson.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Stop mucking about, Charles.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Now, James Braxton simply loves all the towns he visits.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52God bless you, Combe Martin.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55And he's VERY charming with the ladies...
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- Can I show it to you?- Yes, fine.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58This is Charles Hanson.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01He's a real risk taker.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03- And nervy.- That's my entire money gone!
0:01:03 > 0:01:05What have I done?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08And buying antiques really makes him very happy.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10I feel like dancing in the rain.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Well, from his £200,
0:01:15 > 0:01:19James has only been able to shuffle towards the finishing line...
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Huh! And currently has a paltry £248.24
0:01:23 > 0:01:26rattling round in his back pocket.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Oh, dear!
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Whereas Charles seems to be on a winning streak.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33From his original £200,
0:01:33 > 0:01:38he has an impressive £943, and one penny, to spend.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46And the car of choice is James's beloved 1952 MG.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48You're just under 1,000.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I'm trailing with just under 250.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54But I feel quite emotionally unstable.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56To have so much money - do I bank it? Do I play it?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Do I gamble? Do I...?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I think, on your roll,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04anything you touch may turn to gold.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07James and Charles are travelling 400 miles,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09from Dulverton, West Somerset,
0:02:09 > 0:02:10via the Isle of Wight,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14to the county town of Truro, in Cornwall. What a trek!
0:02:14 > 0:02:18On this leg, their first stop is the Devon town of Crediton.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22And they'll auction in the Cornish town of Lostwithiel.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25The missionary St Boniface
0:02:25 > 0:02:27was born in Crediton in the seventh century,
0:02:27 > 0:02:31and the town's parish church is over 1,100 years old.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Let's get going with our expedition.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39First to have a go is the excitable Charles Hanson. Stand by.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- That's my first shop. Fantastic! - Spooky - it's called "James".
0:02:42 > 0:02:44I know. "James Antiques".
0:02:52 > 0:02:56This is nice stick, Jim, isn't it? A wonderful Hawthorn cane.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58If you were a gent,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00as you are, Jim, a Devonian gent,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03back in the year, 1909...
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Yes.- London hallmark.- It's one of the nicest sticks
0:03:05 > 0:03:06I think we've had.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I like it, Jim. That's a good thing, isn't it?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13So, Jim, what would be the best price on your fine cane?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- We're asking 168, as you'll probably see.- Yes.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Er, 150, straight 150.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Jim, it's not a bad price.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I think, again, going back to auction,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I'll want it a bit cheaper than that.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28What's the best price?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- 125.- 125, you see.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I'm going to say, "Thank you, but I'll leave it."
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Thank you very much. All the best!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Well, I take it that's a no, then?
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Yeah, you, too. Bye.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Charles-style. Good.
0:03:41 > 0:03:47Meanwhile, James has travelled south to the historic city of Exeter.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Exeter's long and fascinating history
0:03:50 > 0:03:54dates back as far as 250 BC, and it's home to this
0:03:54 > 0:03:56breathtaking 12th-century cathedral.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Just in case you didn't know,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00JK Rowling was a student at Exeter University,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03and my parents got married in the cathedral.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Watch out, Exeter Antiques Centre.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10James is a man on a mission,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14and it's not long before James finds dealer Mike to talk business.
0:04:14 > 0:04:20How interesting. That is unlike rolling pins I have seen before.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- It's one of these Victorian salt pins, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27That were given, full of salt,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30and then sometimes, you get them painted, don't you?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- How unusual!- Victorian scraps. - Scraps, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- What have you got on it?- 95.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- 70?- 70.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42What else have got there? I think that's very interesting, Mike.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Here's something unusual.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Oh, yeah...
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Horseshoe filer.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Oh, really, is it?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50So, that's a farrier's tool, isn't it?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52God, that's well made!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54And so you could take that out
0:04:54 > 0:04:57and sharpen that, as well?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Actually, James, I think you'll find
0:04:59 > 0:05:02this rasp is for filing horses' teeth.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05A similar but shorter version would be used on their hooves.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Ticket price is £20.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Could you do a tenner on that?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I might buy something else from you, Mike, as well.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- HE SIGHS - Go on, then.- Oh, Mike!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Good man, good man. That's really nice, I like that.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Can I revisit that rolling pin? - Very quirky.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25D'you like rolling pins, or d'you just buy quirky items?
0:05:25 > 0:05:26- Just buy quirky items.- Yeah.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Salt pins are handy, aren't they?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31They help keep salt nice and dry,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34and this one is decorated with scrap pictures,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36which is called "decalcomania".
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Could you do anything really good on this?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- Like sort of 30 or 35? - Oh! You're robbing me.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44HE LAUGHS
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- 45.- 45?
0:05:47 > 0:05:48It IS very unusual...
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- 50, the two. There you are. - 50, the two?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Oh, that's very kind of you.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Mike, I'm going to have it.- Right. - That's really kind of you.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Thank you very much indeed. So, 50 for the two...
0:05:58 > 0:06:02James is definitely trying to bounce back.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Charles, meanwhile,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06is still empty-handed and stuck in Crediton.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08He's got an appointment to get to,
0:06:08 > 0:06:12but James and the MG are nowhere in sight.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13I'll see you later!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Mr postie,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18is there a bike shop around here at all, or anything on those lines?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Yeah, just back there n the right hand side.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Right hand side?- Yeah.- A Bike shop? - Yeah.- Fantastic, thanks!
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Now what's he up to?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Fantastic. Look, The Bike Shed.- Ah.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Brilliant! Thanks, Andy.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Right, Charles.- Helmet on. - Gird up your loins.- See you, Andy.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Off you go.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35MUSIC: "The Pushbike Song" by The Mixtures
0:06:35 > 0:06:39The energetic Charles is using the magic of pedal power
0:06:39 > 0:06:41to travel.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44OK, well, not quite all the way we hoped,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46to West Putford, near Holsworthy.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52As if by magic, Charles is heading to the enchanting world
0:06:52 > 0:06:56of Britain's only gnome reserve. Huh!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Artist and founder Ann Atkins created the reserve
0:06:59 > 0:07:01in 1979,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04and holds the world record for owning over 2,000 gnomes.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Gosh.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12You know, I begin to believe.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Of course!
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- I begin to believe in gnomes. - The real world, isn't it, here?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- No blaring music and slot machines...- No!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- ..it's just nature and the gnomes and the fairies.- It is.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Nature and the gnomes, and I can't wait to get started.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26You're going to wear a gnome hat.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Erm...
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- You've got to wear a gnome hat... - OK.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32..cos you embarrass them, otherwise.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Come on.- Uh-oh.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35This is the real world, hey?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Will that one fit you all right?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- I'm going to go for an orange one, Ann.- Oh, yeah(!)
0:07:40 > 0:07:41The gnomes recognise me.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43That looks splendid. That looks good, actually.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Thanks, Ann. Are you going to wear one as well?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I don't usually, because they know me well enough.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Charles needs no encouragement.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53The little people have existed in different cultures
0:07:53 > 0:07:56throughout the world for many centuries.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Gnomes originated in Germany in the 19th century,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01with a company called Heissner
0:08:01 > 0:08:02producing some of the first figures.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06But it's Sir Charles Isham who's credited with starting the tradition
0:08:06 > 0:08:09of garden gnomes in Britain.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11In 1847, he featured a number of terracotta gnomes
0:08:11 > 0:08:14in a large rockery alongside his home,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Lamport Hall, in Northamptonshire.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21So, where are we going now?
0:08:21 > 0:08:22We're going into the wood.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24You lead the way and then you'll get the good view.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Oh, wow!
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Wah-ah-ah-ah!
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- Oh, Ann, isn't it wonderful? - It's nice, isn't it?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I feel almost... I don't know...
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Like you did when you were three, maybe?- Exactly.- Yes.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42There's something about them - they look so happy.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- They make a landscape really come alive.- They do.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47How would I tell the difference between
0:08:47 > 0:08:50an elf, or a pixie or a gnome?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52A gnome is ancient as the hills,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- and young as a child - all in one go.- Yes.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Pixies are entirely young. - Are they really?- Yes.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Never grow old?- No.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09In the winter, do all these gnomes stay out and shiver,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11or will they be brought inside?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13They have their yearly bath...
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Do they complain?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17No, once a year they put up with it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Well done.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Those that need it get new clothes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Tell me, if I was a gnome,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31which I am now,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33and you're going to sort of keep me in the woods,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36would I be fishing or perhaps just relaxing?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Oh, let me think. - What would you do with me Ann?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I think I'd have you on the beach.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Would you really?- yeah, I think so. Would you like to be on the beach?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- I could happily pop into Putford-on-Sea.- Yeah!- Exactly.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Let's leave Charles in quiet contemplation.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Sorry?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59James, meanwhile, is having a splendid day.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04He has two items already in the bag.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07And he's looking for more in the town of Torrington,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09in North Devon.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Hello!- Hello. - James.- How do you do?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Joanna.- Very nice to meet you, Joanna.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Something's caught his eye.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Funny fellow, isn't it?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I like the shape. It's an unusual shape.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Most tea caddies are square, round, and everything.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29And this is rather fun.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32It's hexagonal, so five-sided.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I want to see what it's like when I give it a good old clean.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38And see whether it'll shine a bit.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- I think it will.- I think it will.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43How much do you want for this fellow, Joanna?
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Erm, I put 22 on that.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Would you give a little discount, or not, for this?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Erm...- You don't have to.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53THEY LAUGH
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- But it does all help. How much?- Erm...
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- £20?- £20?
0:10:58 > 0:10:59£20?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It's a round note, isn't it?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- I'll buy it for 20.- Oh! Thank you. - Thank you very much indeed!
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Back on the road and our road-trippers have travelled
0:11:07 > 0:11:10to the port town of Bideford in North Devon.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13HORN BEEPS
0:11:13 > 0:11:15And Charles leads the way
0:11:15 > 0:11:17as they charge to the shops.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Hah! The boys are in luck this morning.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27A bustling antiques fair is in full swing at Bideford's Pannier Market.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Jim, I'll see you later.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31OK, see you later.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34So, with his swag bag empty, young Carlos needs to get a wiggle on.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Now I'm after...antiques.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Your little dog here, he's quite sweet, isn't he?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43That's a beautiful Airedale, a proper Beswick.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Beswick?- Yeah.- What's your name? - Tony.- Tony, mate...
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Condition's so important.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50What is it - 1970s, '60s?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52It could be '60s, that.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55A '60s dog of a great collectability.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59You're going to sell that to someone who is an Airedale owner,
0:11:59 > 0:12:00or Airedale breeder,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03who will say, "It's Beswick," so it's Rolls-Royce,
0:12:03 > 0:12:04it's the proper quality.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- Yeah.- And there's money in it for you.- Very tempting.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09What's he worth?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11That's on at 37.50.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I would do you that for £20.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I was honestly hoping
0:12:15 > 0:12:17to pay a tenner.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19No, split it with me at 15.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22£15. Well, sometimes,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24you've got to get your show on the road.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27£15, yeah. Take it for £15. We're happy.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28And he's not finished yet.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Oh, no, he's found another stall with something to tickle his fancy.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- I don't know who the maker is. - Isn't that nice?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39This is lead-glaze earthenware.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42And it's novel, it's 1880s.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44It's a water jug.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46It's going to appeal to, perhaps, hunting people,
0:12:46 > 0:12:50with this crop here, on the handle.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52And it's what we call "majolica".
0:12:52 > 0:12:56I do like it. It's in good condition, bar the fact
0:12:56 > 0:12:58we have a crack here, just on the lid.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01The age, and from the lozenge mark on the bottom, here,
0:13:01 > 0:13:05we can date it to around 1881.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Margaret, what's your best price?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- 65.- 65? OK.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Would you take £50 for it?
0:13:12 > 0:13:1455.
0:13:14 > 0:13:1655?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Margaret, we're going, going...
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Gone!- We've got it!
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Thank you very much, I'm delighted.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24A really handsome jug,
0:13:24 > 0:13:28which is full of Victorian flavour. Thanks, Margaret.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32And Charles has good reason to be pleased as Punch.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33I'm so excited,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36because my jug I've just bought
0:13:36 > 0:13:39is actually made by George Jones.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42And George Jones was the most important maker
0:13:42 > 0:13:44of majolica pottery.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46In his lead-glaze earthenware forms,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49he would always use a small, black number
0:13:49 > 0:13:52on the bottom of his majolica wares.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53It's got the black number.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Without the condition issue,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58it could be a jug worth maybe £800.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01In its condition, maybe, just maybe,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03it might make more than £100.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I'm really excited, a really big find.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Could this be another Road Trip discovery?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11James, meanwhile,
0:14:11 > 0:14:13has spied something in the window
0:14:13 > 0:14:15of Bideford Pottery.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Your window has lured me in. I'm James.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20- Hello.- Nice to meet you.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I like this!
0:14:24 > 0:14:28What's that? "A frog, he would a woo-ing go.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31"Whoopsie diddley dandy dee."
0:14:31 > 0:14:32BELL RINGS
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Beautifully delivered, James(!)
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Some things lend themselves very nicely to clay.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Yeah, they do, don't they?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42And I love the naturalistic face here.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- And I see, very nicely, you sign everything.- Yes.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Here we are, "Harry Juniper". What a great name!
0:14:47 > 0:14:48HE LAUGHS
0:14:48 > 0:14:51"Of Bideford. 2011" I rather like that.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Could you give me a special price on that, Harry?
0:14:55 > 0:14:56No!
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Well, good for you!
0:14:58 > 0:14:59It's got 25 on it.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- That's dirt cheap, isn't it? - It IS dirt cheap.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- And I'll pay you 25 for it.- Good! - Why not?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Nice one, Harry!
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Bideford is turning out to be very fruitful for the boys.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12So far, so good.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Charles is nipping across the road to visit Susannah
0:15:14 > 0:15:17in Old Bridge Antiques.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Have a rummage through this one, as well.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26In the auction business, people love to rummage.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29They love to dig deep.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34They love to unearth treasure.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Would you split all this up, Susannah, for auction,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40or would you almost sell the whole lot as one job lot?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43We could put a collection together in a box.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45If I bought an entire box, for example,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47what would the price be?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I think the best price would be £80.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Sue.- Yes.- Love the box.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54It's a great box,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56but I just love this box as well,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59which is leather, and it's clad,
0:15:59 > 0:16:00and it's of a higher quality.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Let's say, for example,
0:16:02 > 0:16:03I put all this jewellery
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- into there, OK?- Yes.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09My treasure, into a really fine box.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Best price, Sue? Give me the biggest and best price.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14OK, £70.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Oh, my goodness me!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- OK.- And that is a very good deal.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Yeah.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22How about this? If I give you,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24not 400,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26but 4,000...pence...
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- SHE LAUGHS - ..for this?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Which is £40.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32So that's your very best offer?
0:16:32 > 0:16:33HE SIGHS
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I feel really mean, but yes, because...
0:16:35 > 0:16:39OK, then I wish you well, and I hope that you make plenty at auction.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- I will leave it, and that's fine. - That's fine, you can have it for 40.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- You sure?- Absolutely. Shake my hand.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- £40, you sure, Sue?- Shake my hand!
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- Are you happy?- I'm happy as long as you shake my hand.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Even though I don't really like it!
0:16:50 > 0:16:51SHE LAUGHS
0:16:51 > 0:16:53OK, Sue, I'll have it.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54- I'll take it away.- Well done.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56That's £40. Or, to Sue, 4,000 pence.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58SHE LAUGHS
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Crikey, Charles!
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Your bare-faced cheek has got you another Road Trip bargain.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Look at that!
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Meanwhile, James had arrived at the Pannier Market,
0:17:09 > 0:17:13and, like Charles, Tony's stall has also caught his eye.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17That's a great fun mirror, isn't it?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19It's very stylish.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22That's typical '20s/'30s.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24It's got a lovely outback on it.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Tony, can you do a "special" special price...?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29For £60 is a bargain.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Can you do anything more dramatic on that?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33"Dramatic"?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35If I knocked you £20 off that,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I think you'd have a superb bargain at £40.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I would be very pleased at that, Tony.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Thank you, that's really kind of you.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47Charles returns the bike as he joins James in the MG.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48They're travelling 30 miles south
0:17:48 > 0:17:51to the West Country town of Okehampton.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55With three items bagged, Charles is hoping to splash more of his cash.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57He's got over £800 left,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00and he's on the run.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Hello, madam.- Hello!- How are you?
0:18:02 > 0:18:03I'm very well. Nice to see you.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Thank you for letting me come to your shop and peruse.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- I believe you are Charles? - I am Charles, yes.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14This is fun, isn't it?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I know!
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Tell me about these musket balls.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19The area, Great Torrington,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21which is North Devon,
0:18:21 > 0:18:22going back towards Bideford,
0:18:22 > 0:18:27was the last stronghold of the Cavaliers
0:18:27 > 0:18:28during the Civil War.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31This is something I picked up locally.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I'm almost certain these musket balls,
0:18:33 > 0:18:38which are mounted in this oak display case,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41are certainly mid-17th century.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I would think so, but it could be quite gory.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- They could have killed somebody. - Exactly.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- I also quite like that scent bottle here.- Yeah.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53This is a cut-glass perfume bottle -
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Birmingham, 1942.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59If you were a lady in the Second World War, you may have had this
0:18:59 > 0:19:03to maybe mesmerise your husband
0:19:03 > 0:19:05coming back from the Forces, or whatever.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I would do that for £60.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11OK. That's food for thought. Thanks, Sue. Thanks, Jo.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13And this caster?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15A lovely, quality...
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Which it is.- ..heavy...
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Which it is.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22..silver caster and cover.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25This is London, from the year 1937.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28And it's Georgian-style, but yes, 20th-century.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30It is. Lighthouse caster form.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Faceted. Good size.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35We likey-likey, OK?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37What have we got on that?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Right, 160.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42What will we do with that?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Let's try and be good to you.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45120.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Yeah.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Oh, I sense another Cheeky Charlie bargain on the cards.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53I've seen those two, and I do like the musket balls, as well, up here.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Would you take...
0:19:55 > 0:19:5760 for him, 60 for him,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59and 30 for him?
0:19:59 > 0:20:00Which makes...?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02£150.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05For three items...
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- There you go. Lovely. - On eggshells. We've got there.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11We've sold, so that's wonderful.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Hats off to you, Charles.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Yet another good deal done.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17And that's the shopping wrapped up.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22James Braxton started this leg with £248.24
0:20:22 > 0:20:28and spend £135 on a farrier file, Dutch tea caddy,
0:20:28 > 0:20:33a 1950s wall mirror, an unusual Victorian scrap works salt pin and
0:20:33 > 0:20:35a novelty frog pottery hand bowl.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Charles Hanson began with £943.01 and spent £260
0:20:42 > 0:20:46on a Beswick Airedale terrier, a 1940s scent bottle,
0:20:46 > 0:20:50a Victorian jewellery box containing vintage jewellery,
0:20:50 > 0:20:55a rare majolica jug, musket balls circa 1645
0:20:55 > 0:20:58and a George VI sugar caster and cover.
0:20:58 > 0:21:05Great buys but what do our experts think of each other's swag?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08That Regency box stuffed full of goodies,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10that in the auction room is just a magnet.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12If it's in the cabinet, lots of goodies in it,
0:21:12 > 0:21:17I predict that will make between £150 and £250.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I'm really impressed with James's items.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23I love his silver caddy and I think he struck gold.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27It's been a go-getting leg of this Road Trip
0:21:27 > 0:21:31with the boys battling it out from Crediton via Exeter, West Putford,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Torrington, Bideford, Okehampton
0:21:34 > 0:21:37and finally heading for the Cornish town of Lostwithiel
0:21:37 > 0:21:40for Jeffrys Auctions, which was established in 1865.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Quiet, please. The auction's about to begin.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51First up it's Charles's Victorian leather jewellery box,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54stuffed full of loot!
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Come on, James, here we go. - Here we go.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Got some interest already and I'm starting at £110.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00NO way!
0:22:00 > 0:22:02110, 120, 130...

0:22:12 > 0:22:14- 240...- I can't believe it.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- At 240 are we all done?- At £240...
0:22:17 > 0:22:19HE BANGS GAVEL
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Put it there! I can't believe it!
0:22:20 > 0:22:24By gosh, Charles is off to a rip-roaring start.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Just look at James's face!
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Steady there, Charles.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Let's see if James can make his mark with the farrier's file.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Very good, did my nails this morning, lovely.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40£10, we'll say no more.

0:23:00 > 0:23:01Come on, give it!
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- It's all right, isn't it? - Trebled your money.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Not bad, James, but you'll need better luck to beat Charles.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14And it's James's tea caddy now and he's got high hopes.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17£70 I'm bid. £70, £70...
0:23:17 > 0:23:2075, £80, 85...

0:23:28 > 0:23:32Congratulations! That is five times what you paid for it.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- That's good.- I'm pleased with that.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36That's more like it.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Let's hope you're on the up.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40It's that 1950s mirror
0:23:40 > 0:23:42with the little fish next.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02Oh, dear. Just when you thought your luck was changing.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04But never fear, James,
0:24:04 > 0:24:08there's still that unusual Victorian salt pin to go.

0:24:27 > 0:24:31HE BANGS GAVEL Yes!
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Is that laughter or tears?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36It's just not your day today, James.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42We're back to Charles and his majolica jug next.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46It's the one he thinks might go for a mint.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Well, well!
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- 270, 280... - I don't believe it.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11280. That's good.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Yeah, it is good.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15320, 340... Keep going.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- 340.- I can't believe it.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20At 340 on the phone... 360, 380...
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Gosh!
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- 380, 400...- I don't believe this. Keep going. This is wonderful!
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Wonderful!
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- 420, 440?- Oh, goodness me! - 440. 460?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- 460...- Oh, magic!
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- 480, 500...- This is heaven.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41500. 520? 520. 540?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- 540?- 'Telephone bid.'- No.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- 520 in the room.- Thank you very much.- At 520 in the room...
0:25:46 > 0:25:48£520...
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- HE BANGS GAVEL - Yes!
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Wonderful, wonderful!
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Thank you very much! Wonderful!
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Thank you, auctioneer!
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- Drinks are on you! - Oh, absolutely! And the rest.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Oh, goodness me!
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Put it there!- Well done.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09Put it there indeed! A magnificent lump sum for young Charles.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Can I...?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21That Charles is in a kissing mood!
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Still, next it's the collection of musket balls.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27£30 to start me. £20 I'm bid.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Come on.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30£30, 35, £40,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- 45, £50...- Keep going.
0:26:32 > 0:26:3455, £60...
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Wonderful.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- How much did you pay for it? - £30 it cost me.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Approximately £30.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- 65... - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- Well done.- Congratulations. - Well done.- Congratulations.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Well done.
0:26:48 > 0:26:54Profits aplenty yet again for young Charles. Keep up the good work, boy!
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Anyway, it's Charles again with the lighthouse sugar caster.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- Come on!- £30 I'm bid.
0:27:00 > 0:27:0355, 60, 65, 70, 75,
0:27:03 > 0:27:0580, 85, 90...
0:27:05 > 0:27:07That's great!
0:27:07 > 0:27:09£90, take 95... At £90...
0:27:09 > 0:27:1295, thank you. 100, 110...
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- Well done!- 110, 120, 130?
0:27:15 > 0:27:17At 120. You sure?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20At 120...
0:27:20 > 0:27:21- £120. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Brilliant! Double money. You were right.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Is there no stopping the young pretender?
0:27:28 > 0:27:32The bidders of Lostwithiel just can't resist his items.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36So how about Charles's scent bottle?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Are we in for another sweet-smelling profit?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- £20 to start me. - No. Too much. Too much.
0:27:43 > 0:27:4535, £40, 45,
0:27:45 > 0:27:4750, 55,
0:27:47 > 0:27:50£55, 60,
0:27:50 > 0:27:5265, £70...
0:27:52 > 0:27:54At £70, take 75...
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- One more!- Too much.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- At £70, are we done? Going at £70... - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Yes, profit! Put it there!
0:28:02 > 0:28:03No.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Come on, James, be a sport! We all have bad days.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11So now, show Charles what you're made of.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14It's your last lot of the day, the froggy hand bell.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16£10? £5?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Five I'm bid. Rings your bell?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22At seven, at eight,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25at nine? At nine, at ten. At 12? At 12.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27At 14, at 16, at 18,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30at 20, 22... At 22...
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Dropped a clanger there! At 22...
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- At 22... - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:28:35 > 0:28:38And that little froggy didn't come home with the money, James.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40It just croaked.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42From froggy to doggy.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47It's the final lot of the day with Charles's terrier.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49£30 away? £20 I'm bid.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Yes! Profit.
0:28:52 > 0:28:5325, £30, 35,
0:28:53 > 0:28:56£40, 45.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58I can go to 48. 50? 50.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Wowzer! Well done.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02At £50 I'm bid. Done?
0:29:02 > 0:29:04- Going at £50. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:29:04 > 0:29:05You are unassailable.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08It gets better and better and better. Can I drive?
0:29:08 > 0:29:10No.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Yet another profit. Wow.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16So that makes Charles the winner.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- I'm just absolutely blown over. - I've had enough.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22I'm blown away. I'm blown away.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Well done.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31So James started with £248.24.
0:29:31 > 0:29:36And after paying auction costs, made a small profit of £48.68,
0:29:36 > 0:29:41leaving him with a modest £296.92 to carry forward.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49Charles, meanwhile, started with a massive £943.01,
0:29:49 > 0:29:54and made a magnificent £613.30 profit.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59Giving him a staggering £1,566.31 to take forward.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Good lord.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07James, sometimes you get lucky, OK?
0:30:07 > 0:30:08HE CHUCKLES
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Hold on. There is no "sometimes". With you it's "always".
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- Anyway, well done.- Thank you, mate!
0:30:21 > 0:30:24So, with barely time for a breath, our boys forge ahead
0:30:24 > 0:30:27in James's adored 1952 MG.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31The only thing is she doesn't have a roof. Uh-oh.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Well, James, I've never ever known weather like this.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41- Oh, lovely(!)- Aww! - That's lovely(!)
0:30:43 > 0:30:47James and Charles are travelling 400 miles from Dulverton, West Somerset,
0:30:47 > 0:30:51via the Isle of Wight to the county town of Truro in Cornwall.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56On this leg, first stop is the town of Liskeard
0:30:56 > 0:30:59and they will auction in Truro.
0:31:00 > 0:31:06The boys share their first shop of the day, Bay Tree Trading Company,
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- James.- Charles.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Owner Andy and his partner Michelle
0:31:10 > 0:31:13have a shop crammed with interesting wares.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14- Best of luck.- Thank you very much.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17James has got a lot of catching up to do
0:31:17 > 0:31:19and with just less than £300,
0:31:19 > 0:31:22he really needs to find some money-making goodies.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Cor, that's a weight, isn't it?
0:31:27 > 0:31:31It's a very nice old winged nut.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35This piece of Great British design would be unscrewed
0:31:35 > 0:31:39when changing the tyre of a Jaguar XK150.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44It doesn't look terribly old inside, but it has been bashed,
0:31:44 > 0:31:47so they have used a copper hammer to loosen this off.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50You see where it's disturbed the chrome.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Now, Michelle...what could it be?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- Em, I think £10. - £10? That's very fair.
0:31:55 > 0:32:00- I'm very happy with that.- Good. - There you are. A tenner.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Faster than the speed of light, James is not hanging about.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11Charles has got over one and a half grand in his pocket
0:32:11 > 0:32:16but he just can't seem to find anything to buy. Stop faffing about!
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Now, down the road,
0:32:18 > 0:32:22James is sniffing out a bargain at the local church. Lordy!
0:32:22 > 0:32:26- Hello. I'm James.- Hello, James.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28I've heard on a little whisper around Liskeard
0:32:28 > 0:32:32that you've got a pulpit you might be selling.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- Am I right?- You are, yes!- Oh, good.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40Graham is a church warden at Liskeard Methodist Church
0:32:40 > 0:32:43and might just be able to help James with his next purchase.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48- So this is the fellow?- This is it. - Can I have a good old squiz?
0:32:48 > 0:32:50So this is where your man or lady stands,
0:32:50 > 0:32:54firing out fire and brimstone, making better, more worthy people.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Hey, that's lovely.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00So you've got quite ordinary bits for the stars and the rails.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- But what a fabulous figuring on pine.- Yes, yes.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05Would £30...
0:33:07 > 0:33:11..be helpful? Did you have a figure in mind?
0:33:11 > 0:33:15- Graham?- The figure I had in mind was £50.- £50?
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Could we meet in the middle?
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- I'm sure we could. - £40? I'm very happy to give you £40.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27I like your enterprise, James,
0:33:27 > 0:33:31but will your divine inspiration prove to be fruitful?
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Well, we'll have to see. So, without hesitation, the old boy motors on
0:33:35 > 0:33:39in search of another bargain in the town of St Columb Major.
0:33:39 > 0:33:45He's visiting Stiltskin and Walrus. Great name! Owned by Janet.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54What are these things saying, "On war service"?
0:33:54 > 0:33:59- They're lovely.- I haven't come across those.- They're WWI and they were given to people
0:33:59 > 0:34:03who hadn't volunteered and weren't at the front.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07So somebody couldn't accost them in the street and call them cowards.
0:34:07 > 0:34:12- Oh, I see. To stop the white feather business.- Exactly, yeah.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15During WWI, white feathers were given to men
0:34:15 > 0:34:19who were thought to be cowardly and shirking their war duties.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24The badges served to protect those exempt from military service
0:34:24 > 0:34:29- and soldiers wearing civilian clothes.- So this is 1915.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33And I understood that after a while there weren't so many available
0:34:33 > 0:34:36because people were conscripted after a certain date.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38You can't decide which one you like best, can you?
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- I wouldn't mind those two. - And leave me that one.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Shall I leave you that one?
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Together the badges are priced at £30.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- Could you do them for 24? - I could do them for 25.
0:34:49 > 0:34:5225.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- Janet, I'll have them for 25. - OK, deal.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57The boys are back together in the MG and have travelled
0:34:57 > 0:34:59to the port town of Falmouth, via Truro,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01on the south coast of Cornwall.
0:35:03 > 0:35:09Falmouth is famous for its harbour and is well-known for being the start or finish point
0:35:09 > 0:35:11of round the world voyages.
0:35:11 > 0:35:17And James looks as though he's regretting handing over the car keys to Charles.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- Nice...nice. - Sorry! Hold on!
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Sorry, James! Sorry about that.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Charles! He certainly needs to get cracking. He hasn't bought a thing.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32Let's hope Roadshow Antiques can help him in his pursuit.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- Good morning, sir. How are you? - I'm very well.- Good to see you.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38- Hi. Chris.- My name's Charles.
0:35:38 > 0:35:43- Could you guide me in a direction? - Have a look over in the window.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47You've got a fire screen there which I'm pretty sure is Newlyn.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48Isn't that wonderful?
0:35:48 > 0:35:53This, I suppose, almost captures the essence of Newlyn, doesn't it?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Newlyn copper was a type of Arts and Crafts copperware
0:35:56 > 0:35:59originating in Newlyn, Cornwall.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04It was produced in the late 19th century by unemployed fishermen.
0:36:04 > 0:36:09- Look around, make your decision. - OK, thanks.- I can do a little bit.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12I'll think about it. Thanks, Chris.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18I'm feeling a warm glow.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Chris...- Yep?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24This stick in here. Is that local, the swagger stick?
0:36:24 > 0:36:31Yeah, Devon and Cornwall Light Infantry. Not in great condition, but would sell well.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33It is quite beaten
0:36:33 > 0:36:37and this binding on the swagger stick, is that to reinforce it?
0:36:37 > 0:36:41- Has it been split?- Broken in half at some point, I would think.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45If I bought that, Chris, in its condition,
0:36:45 > 0:36:47what would be the best price?
0:36:47 > 0:36:52- I've got £35 on it. What about 25?- £25.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56Yeah, that's food for thought, Chris. That could be an object.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Mental note.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00This pill box in here.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Oh, that's sweet. Look at that.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07This is a young lady waving her sailor goodbye.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10And it's titled Hope.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12It's circa 1790.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14And it's £90.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16That's quite good.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18And the Delft bowl I like as well.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- Completely knackered.- Yeah. - It's going to fall apart.- Is it?
0:37:22 > 0:37:27- Although it was been stitched. - Can I have a quick look?
0:37:27 > 0:37:34This is Delft ware with a tin glaze over an earthenware body. Made in Liverpool around 1750.
0:37:34 > 0:37:40At the birth, the evolution of our porcelain industry. How much, Chris?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43It's so tired, it's so worn out, Chris. What's the best price?
0:37:43 > 0:37:48- You know...- What have I got on there? 85 quid.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Seems like nothing. Does that say 85?- It says 55.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Oh, it says 55! Good try.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- If you're putting together a package...- It could be expensive.
0:37:59 > 0:38:05- ..perhaps we'll kind of think about it then.- I like your style.
0:38:05 > 0:38:12- I like the swagger stick and the bowl. I also like very much the pill box over here.- Mm-hm.
0:38:12 > 0:38:18- There's a piece of Hale copper in there...- That one? - ..which was a contemporary.
0:38:18 > 0:38:25- And what's that?- Hale copper.- Yes. - It's really a pipe rack, but people do put large spoons in them.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29That's quite sweet. We're going back to 1905, 1910.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32More importantly, it's in the Arts and Crafts style.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Chris, it's priced at £55.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- I think 40 would be the best.- OK. OK.
0:38:37 > 0:38:43He's going to have a good go and get a combined deal with the pill box, spoon rack
0:38:43 > 0:38:45and the swagger stick.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- So all three together, Chris, would be how much?- 110.- 110.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- Would you do 60...- Mm-hm.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56..25 and 15?
0:38:58 > 0:39:03Making it up to £100, which is £10 off?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07£10 off my final price, you mean?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- Yeah.- No.- No?- No.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12OK. See, £100 sounds very nice.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17- Shall I roll my sleeves up? We could wrestle on the pavement for the tenner.- Arm wrestle?
0:39:17 > 0:39:22- Yeah. You're a young man. - Are you being serious?- Yes. Why not?
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Do your best, Charles. This is for the Road Trip.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- OK, Chris.- Away you go.- Go!
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Are you trying?
0:39:31 > 0:39:35I am actually trying, yes. I have weakened over the years.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40He's a big man, Charles.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Ungh!
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Steady.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50- Yes!- There we are.- Are you sure? - Yes.- It's a deal! Fantastic, Chris!
0:39:50 > 0:39:56Well done, Charles! Interesting haggling technique. Just when you think he's all shopped out...
0:39:56 > 0:40:01If I said to you as a final attempt, what would be the absolute best price
0:40:01 > 0:40:07- on the copper...screen, which we believe is Newlyn... - Mm-hm.
0:40:07 > 0:40:13- ..and the Delft bowl? - Together - 120 quid. Now that's... - That's the death.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- The absolute death.- Yeah. OK.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18110?
0:40:20 > 0:40:24What don't you understand about, "this is the death"?
0:40:24 > 0:40:30- 120 is the death?- You're a lovely chap, but 120 is the death. I'm being really generous.- £120.
0:40:30 > 0:40:36Well, I've got to hand it to you. That was an epic tour de force of buying power.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41James is next to have a shot in Roadshow Antiques.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45After the marathon buy from Charles, will there be anything left?
0:40:46 > 0:40:52Now the reason I like mirrors, Chris, is because my wife likes them
0:40:52 > 0:40:57and I just spotted this fellow. You would immediately call that Regency
0:40:57 > 0:41:01or, at a push, William IV, who only reigned for a nanosecond of time,
0:41:01 > 0:41:05but in antique terms he could have reigned for 60 years!
0:41:05 > 0:41:10- Indeed. Mahogany. - Mahogany.- Split turnings.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- And do you think that was once gilded?- Gilded, I think.
0:41:14 > 0:41:20- Somebody's rubbed it away. - What price have I got on it? - You've got 58 on it, Chris.
0:41:20 > 0:41:26- 40 would be the death. - 40. That's very kind of you. I'll definitely buy that, but...
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- I only want that to be the start. - OK.- Look at that.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Isn't that funny?
0:41:32 > 0:41:35A monthly medal competition
0:41:35 > 0:41:42so they were producing and engraving pewter tankards to give monthly.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45And it's made by Liberty's.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Isn't that amazing?
0:41:47 > 0:41:53- And you've got another one. - The original price on the tankards is £28 each.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57Em, now what could you do the two for me, Chris?
0:41:57 > 0:42:03- 40 the pair.- 40 the pair? - That's what I would have said if you hadn't told me they're Liberty's.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Probably 140 the pair now!
0:42:06 > 0:42:10- I'll be good. 40 quid. - That's really kind. I'll take them.
0:42:12 > 0:42:18Shopping now over, James is motoring 35 miles south to Porthcurno in Penzance.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24James is paying a visit to Porthcurno Telegraph Museum
0:42:24 > 0:42:29which formerly housed a very important hub of international communication.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36In the 19th century, the telegraph took the world by storm.
0:42:36 > 0:42:42For the first time, a message could be sent instantly, rather than being delivered by letter,
0:42:42 > 0:42:47which revolutionised the speed of world communications.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50And this is where it all started.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54James is meeting with John Packer, a former employee of the station.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Well, the first communications here was in 1870
0:42:58 > 0:43:02when a cable under the sea was laid from here to Bombay.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07It was India's first direct electrical communication with the mother country.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Well, show me the way.
0:43:10 > 0:43:16With the advent of World War Two, the station had become so important, it had to be protected.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20Secret tunnels were dug by Cornish miners to house an underground building
0:43:20 > 0:43:22and the entire telegraph operations.
0:43:24 > 0:43:31These bomb and gas-proof tunnels protected 14 secure cables out of the UK to its allies.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36The museum has some of the equipment used in the Victorian era
0:43:36 > 0:43:41which displays the technology from which today's computer age grew.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44So this is where it all starts, is it?
0:43:44 > 0:43:48This is the digital age, Victorian-style.
0:43:48 > 0:43:54This is sending in binary code, left and right, left and right, by hand.
0:43:54 > 0:43:58- Yeah.- Left, left, right, left, left, right, left, left, right...
0:43:58 > 0:44:04Noughts and ones, positives and negatives, binary code, computer code. This is where it all started.
0:44:04 > 0:44:10- It all started.- The Victorian internet.- So the alphabet is simplified into this binary code?
0:44:10 > 0:44:15- Precisely.- This is what you were sending through those mighty cables?
0:44:15 > 0:44:17This is the earliest form of sending by hand
0:44:17 > 0:44:22and at the receiving end, the signals were received on paper tape as a squiggly line.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25Above and below, above and below a central line,
0:44:25 > 0:44:30dot and dash, mark and space, noughts and ones. Right.
0:44:32 > 0:44:36The ever-improving advances in communication technology
0:44:36 > 0:44:39put Porthcurno at the centre of the war effort.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43So you're taking me back to World War Two here, John?
0:44:43 > 0:44:47World War Two equipment and we're in the workshop where it was maintained
0:44:47 > 0:44:53And this building and communication centre was very important in the Second World War, wasn't it?
0:44:53 > 0:44:56- It was of vital importance. - Vital importance.
0:44:56 > 0:45:01We've said it was the gateway to the world. It was the gateway to the world in World War Two.
0:45:01 > 0:45:07- For secure communication. - With our allies, America, at the other side of the pond?
0:45:07 > 0:45:13And as we had more cables than the enemy, we had a better network.
0:45:13 > 0:45:17We had a more elaborate system of communicating around the world
0:45:17 > 0:45:20- in a manner that could not be intercepted.- Right.
0:45:20 > 0:45:24Once so vital to the world, the telegraph became a museum piece,
0:45:24 > 0:45:28but it's the ancestor of modern communications.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31John, it's been really fascinating. Thank you.
0:45:33 > 0:45:38The tour is all over and the shopping is all finished. Phew!
0:45:38 > 0:45:44James Braxton started with £296.92 and spent £15 on
0:45:44 > 0:45:49two Liberty tankards, a Jaguar wheel nut, two World War I badges,
0:45:49 > 0:45:53a pine pulpit and a William IV mirror.
0:45:53 > 0:45:59Charles Hanson began with £1556.31 and spend £220 on
0:45:59 > 0:46:06a World War I infantry stick, a 1910 copper spoon rack,
0:46:06 > 0:46:09and 1805 Bilston pill box, a Newlyn school Arts and Crafts fire screen
0:46:11 > 0:46:13and a Delft bowl.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16So, what do our experts think of each other's swag?
0:46:18 > 0:46:21He is unquantifiable, that man.
0:46:21 > 0:46:26Those little items will make a fortune at auction. I don't like them.
0:46:26 > 0:46:32He suggests to me that James will walk the plank. Yeah, I agree.
0:46:32 > 0:46:36It's been an ambitious adventure with the boys battling it out
0:46:36 > 0:46:38from Liskeard,
0:46:38 > 0:46:40St Columb Major, Falmouth,
0:46:40 > 0:46:44Porthcurno and finally to Truro in Cornwall.
0:46:45 > 0:46:51Philip Buddell Auctions has been established in Cornwall for the last 30 years.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55Quiet, please. The auction is about to begin.

0:47:26 > 0:47:29At £40. 42 or not? At £40.

0:47:33 > 0:47:35At 40 and selling...
0:47:35 > 0:47:39- Well done. Profit?- No. - Profit, is it...?
0:47:39 > 0:47:41The atmosphere here is electric.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45Pity it didn't fetch a profit though.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49It's James again with the stylish pair of Liberty tankards.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53What are you going to say on those? £10 on the pair of tankards?
0:47:53 > 0:47:57- It must be worth a tenner.- 10? - 5? 5, I'm bid.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01At 6, I'm bid... 7. At 7. And £8.

0:48:33 > 0:48:37It's now Charles's turn with the swagger stick next.

0:50:53 > 0:50:55It's the copper spoon rack next.
0:50:55 > 0:50:59A former pipe rack, but probably now a spoon rack.
0:50:59 > 0:51:04Or it might even take one of these. Can you try one of these out?
0:51:04 > 0:51:08- Oh, here we are, a bit of theatre. - Egg rack. Oh, good idea!

0:52:18 > 0:52:22- It's just been unbelievable. - I know, it has been unbelievable.
0:52:22 > 0:52:28It's Charles yet again, this time with the Newlyn-style fire screen.

0:53:40 > 0:53:43- Is this your first loss? - For a long time.
0:53:43 > 0:53:47Back to you, James. It's the Jaguar wheel nut next.
