0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts, with £200 each,
0:00:05 > 0:00:09a classic car and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10That hurts.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13I'm going to go for it.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18But it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Goodness gracious me.
0:00:22 > 0:00:27Will it be the high road to glory or slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29It's not nice to gloat.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40The sun is out in Wiltshire, and our lovable antiques experts -
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Charlie Ross and Catherine Southon - are jostling along famously.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Oh, look at these animals! The little baby sheep!
0:00:49 > 0:00:51- Oh, sheep!- Oh, look at the lamb!
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- I could do with a rack of lamb for supper.- That's awful!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Young Catherine has taken up the gavel,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01starting her own auctioneering business.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05And she's no slouch when it comes to driving a bargain, either.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- 40.- Oh, come on!
0:01:07 > 0:01:12Old dog Charlie travels the world auctioneering fine vintage cars,
0:01:12 > 0:01:16and he's not too short on the old vroom-vroom-vroom himself!
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Mwah! This is the most golden day of my life!
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Both experts started their road trip with £200 each,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25but Charlie's profits have been poor,
0:01:25 > 0:01:30so he starts this leg with a rather ephemeral £103.04.
0:01:33 > 0:01:39Catherine's doing better and has a tangible £216.56 to play with.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Our gorgeous couple are cosying up
0:01:44 > 0:01:47in a classic 1966 Austin-Healey Sprite.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49It has no roof...at all,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53but on a day like today, who cares?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55(BOTH) # I can see clearly now
0:01:55 > 0:01:57# The rain has gone
0:01:57 > 0:02:02# I can see all obstacles in my way. #
0:02:03 > 0:02:06And there's a few of those!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- # It's going to be a bright - # Bright
0:02:09 > 0:02:12# Bright sun-shiny day. #
0:02:12 > 0:02:16On this road trip our couple are heading eastwards,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18starting in the Wiltshire countryside,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22skirting along the south coast and ending up in Rye, East Sussex.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25On this leg we're kicking off in Marlborough,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28criss-crossing through Wiltshire and Berkshire,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and ending up at an auction in Wareham, Dorset.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Our experts are starting off in Marlborough,
0:02:36 > 0:02:40which was granted market-town status in 1204 by King John,
0:02:40 > 0:02:41he of Robin Hood fame.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Although I'm sure Robin Hood wore green tights, didn't he?!
0:02:49 > 0:02:53This large antiques centre is a treasure trove of a place,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55with the wares of over 30 dealers.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Surely there'll be something here for our competitive duo.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Although Charlie's feeling the pressure...
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Alas, it's tough at the bottom!
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Come along, now, I'm sure you'll find something to get your teeth into.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Eurgh!
0:03:11 > 0:03:16Gosh, what an extraordinary thing. It's a hammerhead shark!
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Or is it Miss Southon?! Ha! It looks rather like her!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23THEME FROM JAWS
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Just when you thought it was safe to go back into an antiques shop...
0:03:27 > 0:03:30MUSIC BUILDS
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Ooh.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- You know what this is, don't you? - I don't.- It's a wool winder.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45You pull that out...
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- 1800s this was made. Isn't that...? - That's lovely.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Look how beautiful that's been made.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54So a wool winder, for winding your wool in and out.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59It's known as a swift. I think there's probably a little bit missing off the top.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02How much would you do on that? It's got 43 on it.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- The best we would do on that would be 38.- Right.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- I can't push it to 35?- 36.
0:04:09 > 0:04:1436. Right. Yes, I might have a go on that one.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19That's not a bad price. But Catherine's pulling out all the stops.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21£30 for the swift and we're done.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- You said 35. £30 for the swift. - I can't.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- I can't do that.- Can you not? - No, I can't.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- It's no good doing that! - Look into my eyes!
0:04:30 > 0:04:36- I've been done with that before. - You've got lovely eyes!- Thank you. I hope that's not being recorded!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Catherine, you are completely shameless!
0:04:39 > 0:04:45- I'm rubbish at making decisions! - Go on, buy it. It's worth a go.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- It's unusual.- Oh, go on, then.- Yes?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- 32? 33.- 35!
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- 33.- 36.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Come on, give me 33.- 35.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- (33.)- 35.- (33.)- 35.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Thank you!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06All that eye-fluttering got you absolutely nowhere.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Well resisted, Gary!
0:05:08 > 0:05:13There was no negotiation there whatsoever!
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- There was.- No, there wasn't! - I'll give you a pound.- Oh, pfft!
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Uh-oh, someone's earwigging in the next aisle.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Gary!- Yes?- Is she trying the female charms with you?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- She's trying. - You promised me they wouldn't work.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- She's fluttering her eyelids. - No, I'm not!
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- I'm just merely making friends! - Miss Southon, how dare you?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I haven't tried that with Bob yet.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45There's a nice little brooch there. I don't normally buy jewellery.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49It's a lady and a gentleman, arm in arm. A bit like Charlie and I, actually.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53The gentleman's tall and slender.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Not quite like Charlie, but... you get the idea.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Oh, you meanie!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02This Art Deco-style brooch is £48, but the dealer's not in
0:06:02 > 0:06:06so there won't be much room for manoeuvre.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08He probably would do 40 on that.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11So 40... 48 to 40.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15I might take a bit of a punt on that one.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18So Catherine's made up her mind.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21That's the wool winder and the silver-plated brooch for £75.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Charlie still hasn't parted with any of his money, though.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Maybe because he hasn't got very much.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Dig deep, Charlie. Dig deep.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Oh, beer bottles.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36"Royal Wedding Ale.
0:06:36 > 0:06:42"Specially brewed in celebration of the marriage of HRH Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44"29th July 1981."
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I think that's really rather good. How much is that?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Two pounds. So in my budget!
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Bob, this is your happy moment. - It is, sir.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I think that's all I can really afford in my budget.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Seeing as you're such a nice chap, you can have a free gift, sir.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- What, Royal Wedding ale? - Absolutely.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- I've got to pay you something. Could I find a coin? - You can find a coin, yes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I hope I can find a small coin!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Oh, no! I think that's five...
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- I think it's 5p! - That'll do fine, sir.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Would you take five?- Very well. - You're a gentleman!
0:07:19 > 0:07:21BOTH: Thank you very much.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Our experts are leaving Marlborough in the dust
0:07:26 > 0:07:29and heading ten miles east to Hungerford in Berkshire.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Hungerford! Twinned with Ligueil!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Both our experts head to Hungerford Arcade Antiques Centre.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39It's one of the oldest antiques centres in the country
0:07:39 > 0:07:41and houses the goodies of over 100 dealers.
0:07:41 > 0:07:47Now, it's just a case of finding a super helpful one, like our Rita here.
0:07:47 > 0:07:53Have you got something that you managed to buy for very little that you could let me have?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I've got a beautiful Orifice crystal bowl.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Orrefors, I think! Not orifice, darling!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02That would never do! I can't have an orifice bowl!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04That wouldn't be allowed!
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Ooh, how lovely!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- It's called A Thousand Windows. - Is that the pattern?
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Because of the cut. - How interesting.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16The ticket price on this one is £150,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19way over your meagre budget, Charlie.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Look, listen to this... - PING ECHOES
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- It's that glorious sound! - Isn't that fabulous?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- PING! - # Mmmmm! I don't like the price!
0:08:29 > 0:08:33# I'd like it to be So much cheaperrrrr! #
0:08:36 > 0:08:38What sort of money is that to me?
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- You know, on a wet day...- A wet day. - ..with me putting my arm around you? - And you've only got £100.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Well, I've got to buy about five things with £100, darling.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48If you bought this for 75,
0:08:48 > 0:08:52I can find four things for you elsewhere for the 25.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56That's quite good. Let's put that on one side. I'm in such a...
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Oh, I'm in such a quandary, darling!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02While Charlie thinks about that one,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Catherine has found a rather attractive German game skewer. As you do.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10This is silver-plated. It's stamped with the letter "O"
0:09:10 > 0:09:13and telling us that it's silver-plated.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- It's a letter opener. - Are you sure about that, Catherine?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21But it's got a lovely little bird on the top, a game bird.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- I'm guessing it's a...- A grouse.- Yes.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26It's priced at 59, Adrian.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30If you could get that for me at a reasonable price...
0:09:30 > 0:09:3325 would be delicious, but...
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Well, she's a delicious lady, but I'm not sure. We can try.- OK!
0:09:36 > 0:09:41Antiques centre manager Adrian just needs to track down the dealer Sharon.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Can we say 30?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Shall we meet in the middle, then, on that and say 35?
0:09:48 > 0:09:5138. OK, Sharon, I think you've got yourself a deal on that one. £38.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Thank you very much indeed.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Catherine's up and running. Now, what about cash-strapped Charlie?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I'm in a real muddle here, financially.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Can you do your bowl for £50, or does that really...?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Why not?- Why not?!
0:10:06 > 0:10:11- Because it's not a lot of money, really!- I know!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13That's the real reason!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16£100 off? I'd snap that up, Charlie!
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I'll have the bowl, and I'll have a bit of silver, as well.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22The little bottle, which I love the shape...
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Yes.- It's shaped rather like you, if I may say so, Rita!- Oh, I wish!
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- I wish!- It's got those rather nice curvaceous lines!
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Dirty beast! It's £55, but Charlie would like it cheaper.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39Could I have that little thing for £20? That would be £70 for two.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41You couldn't do 75?
0:10:42 > 0:10:47For you, darling, I'd do absolutely anything. I'd stand on my head if you like. 75.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Is that all right?- Can you do that? - Yes.- God, I do love you.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Melt into my arms and tell me I'm the only one for you.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57You're gorgeous! You are gorgeous!
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Charlie's charm has got him an Orrefors bowl and a perfume jar,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03as he heads off to the next shop.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Can Catherine work some of her magic on the lovely Rita?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09That's what I like.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- So, what it is is a travelling barometer thermometer...- It is.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16..in a little gentleman's case.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Is it working, Rita? - Complete working order, yes.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- It's lovely, that is.- Yes.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- What have you got on that?- 95.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28- 95. What could you do on that, Rita? - Erm, what about 50?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Any chance of a little bit more?- 45?
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- I tell you what, if you let me have that for 40, I'll have it.- 40!
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Is that cheeky? - I don't know if I can do it for 40!
0:11:43 > 0:11:49- You can't do 45?- I suppose I could, but I'd love to do 40.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- I would do it for 40 for you. - Ah, will you?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Oh, go on, then. Definitely 40. I'm definitely having that at 40.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Ooh, she drives a hard bargain, that one.
0:12:00 > 0:12:06Charlie has arrived at Dairy House Antiques in Semley with less than £30 in his pocket.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Dear old thing!
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- I would like a bit of silver. - A silver thimble?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- What sort of silver thimble? Who are they by?- A couple of Charles Horner.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Charles Horner, the hatpin man. - Yes.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- He's a good maker, isn't he? - Not bad.- Not bad at all.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Oh, aren't they pretty?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- What prices have we got on these? - Erm...
0:12:26 > 0:12:3020 quid on that one and 20 quid... That's 40 quid.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Are these buyable for half price?
0:12:32 > 0:12:38- 20 quid?- No. Can't do half price. No!- No!- I can't do half price.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43It looks like one Charles Horner and one cheaper thimble is the way forward.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- You can do better on that one. - I could do that and one of...
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- What, for 20 quid? - For 25. Come along!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Well, why don't I do those two?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Top work, Charlie. And with £25 agreed for the thimbles,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58it's time to hit the road.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Catherine and Charlie are heading southwest
0:13:02 > 0:13:05towards the city of Salisbury in Wiltshire.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12At last. I feel disgusting.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13You look gorgeous.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Remember the challenge - buy something decent.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Something really nice with three pounds and fourpence.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Er, actually, Charlie, you've only got £2.99.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25And a bath hat.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30It's cold and it's wet,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- I've got £3.04... - No, you don't!
0:13:33 > 0:13:37..Miss Southon's winning, I'm losing,
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- and I want to go home. - You've got £2.99, you old codger.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45A-ha, it's seems that Charlie's made a bit of a mistake here.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49He appears to have forgotten he bought a bottle of old ale for 5p,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53so now his budget is actually even smaller than he thinks.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I found something for £5 downstairs
0:13:57 > 0:14:00and I'm really hoping that they'll take £3.04.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05£22. I don't think that's going to come down to £3.04.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10Excuse me. I'm afraid it's £10. £3.04 wouldn't do it?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13No, it wouldn't, but nice try.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Being an auctioneer of vintage cars,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19these should be up Charlie's street, and they look cheap.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23These are old motor racing programmes
0:14:23 > 0:14:26from meetings in the '50s and '60s.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31The programmes are quite collectable and they're very well priced here - £5.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34There's one of Silverstone, which is my local race track,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36The trouble is, it's priced at £5,
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- and I only have £3.04. - Oh, my gawd, I give up!
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Peter! I wonder if I may borrow you for a moment.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47There's a programme down here for £5.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Do you want to have a look?- May I?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Now, I have, in the world,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55£3.04!
0:14:55 > 0:14:58HE CHUCKLES
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Would it be too rude to offer you £3.04?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- I'm sure that will be fine. - Are you sure?- Yes.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09£3.04 - Silverstone catalogue.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Worth?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13£3.04.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Hmm. In paying for the catalogue,
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Charlie has muddled up 5p of his own money - oh, Lordy! -
0:15:20 > 0:15:23so he's officially in the red.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27With his shopping definitely over, Charlie only has a short trip
0:15:27 > 0:15:30across Salisbury to visit the former home of a prime minister.
0:15:30 > 0:15:36Arundells is the house Sir Edward Heath lived in for the last 20 years of his life,
0:15:36 > 0:15:41and curator and long-time employee Stuart Craven is going to show Charlie around.
0:15:41 > 0:15:47- Ah!- Hello. Charlie Ross. - Stuart Craven. Pleased to meet you. - Lovely to meet you.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Leader of the Conservative Party,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Ted Heath became prime minister in 1970
0:15:52 > 0:15:54for less than four years,
0:15:54 > 0:15:58at one of the most difficult periods of recent British history.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03The most extraordinary collection of photographs I think I've ever seen.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Yes, it is. It's a little document of history, in fact,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09on all his peers of the time,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12whether they be religious leaders or royalty.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Gandhi, Chairman Mao, Khrushchev, Castro...
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- Never-ending!- It's an element of history, isn't it?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Ted Heath collected works of art
0:16:23 > 0:16:28and the house is a showcase for many famous artists, such as Lowry.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32But he also has a painting by a more unexpected artist.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35WSC - initials I recognise.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Absolutely. Winston Spencer Churchill.- Yes.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- I love that. I love the colours. - This is interesting,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44because Sir Edward was concerned that Winston never signed his paintings.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Sir Edward was concerned that the value of this might depreciate,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50so he said, "Sir, could you sign the painting?"
0:16:50 > 0:16:52He took it back to Winston Churchill,
0:16:52 > 0:16:56and there you see the signature on the bottom right, WSC.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- He was very delighted with that. - Yes.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Got it home and discovered the original signature on the bottom left.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- Double signed! - He was very pleased with that.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Proud of the fact that it was the only double-signature Churchill.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13ORCHESTRAL MUSIC
0:17:13 > 0:17:16But there was far more to Ted Heath
0:17:16 > 0:17:19than a life on the international stage.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23He conducted between 50 or 60 of the world's leading orchestras - an amazing feat -
0:17:23 > 0:17:27including all the orchestras in Europe and the Americas.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31You've got to be an amazingly accomplished musician to conduct.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Playing an instrument is one thing,
0:17:33 > 0:17:37but being in control of four or five different facets at the same time...
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Absolutely. I think he was quite accomplished.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45He said that if politics hadn't shaped his life, he might've gone into the music industry,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48and I think he probably would've been very good.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53As well as an accomplished musician, Heath also wrote several books
0:17:53 > 0:17:55and was a world-class sailor.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57He came from a humble background.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- His mother was a lady's maid and his father a carpenter.- Yes.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04So to achieve that level of greatness,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- I think, is a wonderful achievement. - I mean, huge drive.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10To take up sailing at 50
0:18:10 > 0:18:13and then within a few years, win things like the Admiral's Cup -
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- quite remarkable!- I wish I could achieve one thing as great as that, let alone three.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19It's been the most wonderful trip.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I'd like to have been here for a week, really.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Well, sadly, you can't do that, Charlie.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28But you can go and put your feet up for a while.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Back in the city centre,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Catherine's following in Charlie's footsteps
0:18:32 > 0:18:36by heading into the Salisbury Antique and Collectors Market.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Unlike Charlie, however, she has over £60 to spend,
0:18:39 > 0:18:43and owner Peter's going to help her spend it.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47What about that cayenne pepper with the devil?
0:18:47 > 0:18:52- Is that silver on the top? - Yes. That's Birmingham 1913.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Now, that is lovely. I like that.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00You've got a little devil on the top of a spoon.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04You'd use your spoon, that would go in your jar,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06and pull out your little bit of pepper.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11It's actually marked up at £78. That's a bit punchy.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I'd really need to get that down to 50 in order for me to buy it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19But will the dealer be willing to let it go for that?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23That's very nice. It's nice when people say they'd like me to beat Charlie!
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Thank you very much for your time.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Bye-bye.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Lovely man.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35£50 - what a good deal. But not good enough for Catherine.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40Peter, I am very tempted by the devil.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Can I do £48?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Oh, come on, Peter! 48.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- She's got a nerve.- 49.
0:19:50 > 0:19:5249? You won't go to 48?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Go on, then, 49! One pound!
0:19:56 > 0:19:59That's a very limp handshake there, Peter.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00- Do you not mean this?- Naughty!
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Well, that's both our experts' shopping over. Thank goodness.
0:20:07 > 0:20:14Catherine began with £216.56 and spent £202 on a swift wool winder,
0:20:14 > 0:20:18a 1950s silver brooch, a silver-plated game skewer,
0:20:18 > 0:20:22an Art Deco barometer and thermometer and a 1913 pepper pot.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27There's my hand. All you need now is the cash.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Charlie started this leg with £103.04
0:20:31 > 0:20:36and spent a grand total of £103.09 - ha! -
0:20:36 > 0:20:39on a Greene King Royal Wedding Ale bottle,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42an Art Deco bowl, a perfume bottle,
0:20:42 > 0:20:46two silver thimbles, and a 1961 Silverstone programme.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I have absolutely nothing in the world.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Right, it's time to hear what our experts think
0:20:52 > 0:20:54about each other's lots.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59I'm not mad keen on her wool winder. Frankly, who wants a wool winder?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I'm happy with what I bought. I think it's going to be an interesting competition,
0:21:02 > 0:21:06but I may slightly have the edge. Who knows?
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Catherine and Charlie's this leg started in Marlborough, Wiltshire,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13then weaved through several counties
0:21:13 > 0:21:17before arriving in Wareham, Dorset, for the auction finale.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Here we are. Oh-ho!
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- Wonderful.- Wareham is where it's at!
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Right, in we go.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Er, in YOU go. I've got a phone call to make.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Hm... I'll see you in a minute. - I'll see you later.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37What's that rascal Charlie up to?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41This lovely auction house began its life auctioneering off livestock.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Nowadays, you can find all manner of antiques and collectables
0:21:44 > 0:21:47poised to go under the hammer.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51And I think our Charlie has finally twigged his mistake.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Time to call an old friend.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Ah! Is that the delicious Rita? I've got a confession to make.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I spent too much money, Rita! Do you know why I'm phoning you?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I want a reduction!
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I've spent 5p too much!
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Would you be prepared to do that? You really are the best.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18Now I'll be able to go forth into the auction and beat that Miss Southon.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Oh, for goodness' sake, Charlie, you'll give us all a bad name!
0:22:24 > 0:22:27First up is Catherine's Art Deco travelling weather station.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31£30 for it. £30 bid, straight in.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- £30. 35. 40. - You're holding my arm very tight!
0:22:34 > 0:22:3845. 50. 55.
0:22:38 > 0:22:4160. £60 in the middle.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Bit more!- £60. 65 anywhere?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- OK.- Well done! - That's all right.- Profit!
0:22:48 > 0:22:50The sun was shining on that barometer.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52A decent profit for Catherine.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Don't be disappointed. - No, I'm happy with that.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58It's Charlie's perfume bottle next,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01£15, I saw here first. 15, 18 now.
0:23:01 > 0:23:0420. 22.
0:23:04 > 0:23:0622, gentleman in the middle.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- 25.- That's better!- 25 now.
0:23:09 > 0:23:1125, close to me? 25?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- £25, then. - GAVEL BANGS
0:23:14 > 0:23:19- Not bad.- Too right, Catherine, it could've been worse.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20But technically, it's a loss.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27I've got £25 to go shopping with. Oh, no, less commission!
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Catherine's wool winder is next.
0:23:28 > 0:23:35- £0 bid. - He's opened it up. 22. 25. 28. 30.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- Here we go. - £30 bid. 32, sir. 32. 35.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Come on!- 38.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- 40 bid. 40.- It's nearly a profit!
0:23:45 > 0:23:50- 42. 45.- Yes!- 48. - I'm glad I bought that now!
0:23:50 > 0:23:55Gentleman in the middle at 48. £50. The lady there at 50.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Very good.- I'm glad I bought that.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03It wasn't just the gorgeous man that I bought it from! There was a reason!
0:24:03 > 0:24:07This wool winder has spun Catherine a decent profit,
0:24:07 > 0:24:08so she should be pleased.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- It's all right, Miss Southon! - BOTH: Come on!
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Next up, Charlie's bottle of ale,
0:24:13 > 0:24:18bought with a whole 5p he didn't actually have.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- Rare item.- Very rare, sir! - £10 for it.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27- Don't make me break the barrier. - No, do. Bring it down!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29£5, then.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- Ohh! £5!- We've got a £5 bid.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38£5, I'm bid. Five. Six. Seven. Eight.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Ooh!- Nine.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Ten. 11.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- 12. £12 bid.- 12 pounds!
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Expensive beer here in Dorset. £12 on the bottle of beer.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- I'm going to sell it.- £12! Charlie!
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Yay! Well done! LAUGHTER
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Thank you, sir!
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Cheers. That bottle of ale has made Charlie a decent profit
0:25:02 > 0:25:05and put him right back in the game.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06You've got to drink it now.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I'm never buying anything for more than 5p again!
0:25:09 > 0:25:12It's Catherine's game skewer next. Will she get skewered?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15This is probably one of my best items, actually.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I've got an opening bid of £10.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Oh. That's not very exciting!
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- £12, anybody else? 12 here.- Oh, no! - Come on, Miss Southon.- 15, sir?
0:25:25 > 0:25:30- 15. 18.- It's WMF! Did he say that?- 20.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- £20, I'm going to sell it. - That's just not on.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- I have to say, Catherine... - I don't believe that at all.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39That's the one thing that I really don't understand.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Yes, that's a blow, and the first loss of the day.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Chin up, darling.- Charlie's silver thimbles are up next.
0:25:47 > 0:25:54- £40 for the two. 30, then. Thank you. £30 bid.- Ooh! Well done.
0:25:54 > 0:25:5830. £30. 35, anyone else?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I'm going to sell them, then, if no-one else comes in.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Ohh!
0:26:03 > 0:26:06The thimbles have sold for more than Charlie paid,
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- But...- It's a loss, isn't it?- It is. - Once you take the commission...
0:26:11 > 0:26:15It's Catherine's Art Deco-style brooch up next.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18We've got a couple of bids already. I'll start at 15,
0:26:18 > 0:26:2120, 25, 30.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- Come on! Keep going!- £35 in the room.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- 40. 45.- Come on. It's a good thing, this is.- £45 bid.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- 50.- New bid!
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- £55.- Go on!
0:26:35 > 0:26:3755 and selling...
0:26:38 > 0:26:40It's a profit!
0:26:40 > 0:26:45Well, it's £15, which is not to be sniffed at.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I feel like I'm scraping every single penny.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51It's hard work to get your money back in this game.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Yep, it's not easy.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57So here comes Charlie's big gamble, with the 5p reduction.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00£50 for the Orrefors.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Oh, dear.- 40, then.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Charlie! - £40 bid. Thank you very much.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- 40. 45. 50.- Ooh, Charlie!
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- Hold on, hold on.- 55. 60.- Ooh.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17£60. 65.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Come on, madam!- 65. 70.- Ooh!
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Five now. 75. 75.
0:27:24 > 0:27:30- Madam, you know it makes sense! - 75. 80 bid there. £80.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- She doesn't know if she wants it now. - She does.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- £80. - Madam, I'm eternally gratefully!
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- Roscoe still lives! - And the gamble paid off.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- That was a bit of excitement. - There is a Lord, isn't there?
0:27:43 > 0:27:48And now, onto Catherine's devilish cayenne pepper pot.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50£50 for it?
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Come on.- 50.- Oh, come on.- £40, then.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59- Come on!- £30? - Please! Desperation here!
0:27:59 > 0:28:0320. £20. 25?
0:28:03 > 0:28:04- Yes.- 30.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- Oh.- 30 here.- Don't get me excited.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- Come on.- 35 now. 35.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Ooh, Miss Southon.- £35 bid. 35.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- 35. I'm going to sell it. - Dear, oh, dear!
0:28:17 > 0:28:21I thought you lot in Wareham were going to go for these things!
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Another blow for Catherine, sadly.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28It's the last lot of the day - Charlie's Silverstone programme.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31£10 bid. Thank you very much. £10.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Where are all these people for my lots?
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- £12, anybody else?- £12?! - £12 here. 15, sir?
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- 15. 18, sir?- Well...- 18 bid now. 18. - Unbelievable!
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- 20, anybody else? - Charlie, you are amazing.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- Charlie...- I didn't imagine that!
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Hats off to you today because you have done brilliantly.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55With nearly £15 profit on that programme,
0:28:55 > 0:28:57I'm inclined to agree.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Considering you had a pile of old rubbish,
0:29:00 > 0:29:02you have turned it into gold!
0:29:03 > 0:29:05And what an auction it's been.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Catherine started this leg with £216.56
0:29:09 > 0:29:14and has made a loss of £21.60, after auction costs. Bad luck.
0:29:14 > 0:29:20That leaves her with a grand total of £194.96 to carry forward.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Don't look so stern.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27Charlie, on the other hand, has bought wisely, making him today's winner.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30He kicked off the day with £103.04,
0:29:30 > 0:29:35but managed to make a profit of £32.26, after costs,
0:29:35 > 0:29:40bumping his total up to £135.30 to spend next time.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41Great!
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Don't you love Wareham? - I do. And the sun is shining!
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Charlie is happy and he is back in the game.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52All is right with my world, Miss Southon.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Yee-ha!
0:29:55 > 0:29:58BOTH: Bye, Wareham!
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Still on the road in their sprightly little 1966 Austin-Healey
0:30:06 > 0:30:08and holding up the buses in Sussex,
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Charlie and Catherine are being thoroughly sensible.
0:30:11 > 0:30:17- Charlie, what are you wearing on your head?- A fez. - You look completely stupid.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Well, one of them is, anyway.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24This week's road trip takes us eastwards
0:30:24 > 0:30:26across the south of sunny England,
0:30:26 > 0:30:28starting in Corsham, Wiltshire,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31and culminating in Rye, East Sussex.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34On this leg, we're kicking off in Birdham, West Sussex,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36and gently wending our way along the coast
0:30:36 > 0:30:39to an auction showdown in Lewes, East Sussex.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Oh, oh!- Antiques, left!
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- Right, left, left! - Whitestone Farm Antiques.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Oh, this looks just my sort of... Oh, yes.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56Oh, yes, this fantastic emporium is, you've guessed it, situated on a farm
0:30:56 > 0:31:01and is overflowing with rustic charm. I only hope owner Joe knows what's about to hit him!
0:31:01 > 0:31:07- Hello.- And straightaway, Catherine spots something she likes.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09We've got fleur-de-lys.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11A Scottish emblem with the thistle.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13I like those.
0:31:13 > 0:31:19Joe, could I ask you a question, please, about these down here? I'd love to know what these are.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22I believe they're more than likely out of a chimney
0:31:22 > 0:31:26and they were the sort of decorative pieces in it.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28How much are they, just out of interest?
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Well, they vary between £45 each and £65.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36What sort of deal could you do on sort of six of them?
0:31:36 > 0:31:37180.
0:31:37 > 0:31:43Catherine, that's nearly your entire budget, of £194.96, darling!
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I shall think...
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Charlie's only got £135,
0:31:48 > 0:31:52but here's something he's had success with at a previous auction.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56A Silver Jubilee...bottle of beer!
0:31:56 > 0:32:02I've got a very, very good track record with buying old booze at the moment.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05We've turned 5p into 12 quid already.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- Here is 5p.- That'll do fine, sir.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10£12 on the bottle of beer...
0:32:10 > 0:32:12We can do that again.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Silver Jubilee Ale. How much is it? Might as well ask.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- £4.- £4?
0:32:18 > 0:32:23We have got a torn label here which is very, very important when you're buying rare...
0:32:23 > 0:32:26£3, then. LAUGHTER
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Quick, find the chip in the bottle!
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Will £2 buy it?
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Well...
0:32:33 > 0:32:35You are a one, Joe. Thank you.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40Catherine, meanwhile, just can't get those bricks out of her mind.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43If I bought two of them, what would you do for that?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- They would have to be 60. - Right. You couldn't do 55 on those?
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- She's a hard lady.- Oh, I'm not! I'm just merely...
0:32:52 > 0:32:55But I like the fact that you're stroking my hand.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Will she stop at nothing?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00She never strokes MY hand!
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- It's against the rules? - No, no, I like it.- Oh, right.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07I'm at a hell of a disadvantage being male here!
0:33:07 > 0:33:13I think I'll probably go for two because I think three is a big part of my budget.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Miss Southon, may I have a little bit of Joe again?
0:33:16 > 0:33:18I saw you stroking his hand.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22I thought, "Will you stop at nothing when you're trying to buy antiques?"
0:33:22 > 0:33:27I just touched his hand and I didn't mean to stroke it like that.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30But he was quite all right about it, so I might carry on.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35- You're shameless. - Am I?- You are shameless, but I quite like your style.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Hello, what's this with £45 on the ticket?
0:33:39 > 0:33:41I was wondering how to play this?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- DULL THRUM - It doesn't make a great sound.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49I would never look at one of those... It's like a zither, isn't it?
0:33:49 > 0:33:52I never know the difference. It calls itself a mandolin harp.
0:33:52 > 0:33:59What particularly attracted me was all the decoration, the transfer printing, and we've got George V.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01This German-made mandolin harp
0:34:01 > 0:34:04was designed to commemorate the coronation of George V
0:34:04 > 0:34:06whose family originated from Saxony.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11However, the outbreak of World War One led the King to change his name to Windsor
0:34:11 > 0:34:15in an attempt to distance himself from his origins and the enemy.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- I can do a very good price on that. - What, a tenner?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20A fiver you were going to say?
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Not quite that good, Charlie.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- Ssh, no, no. What...?- 45.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Does 30 quid get you out of trouble?
0:34:30 > 0:34:34I'm hurting you. What's it going to make at auction?
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- I really don't know.- I honestly don't know any more than you do.
0:34:38 > 0:34:3935?
0:34:39 > 0:34:43I want to buy it and my heart tells me to buy it.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46My heid, of course, tells me, "You're a plonker, Rossco,"
0:34:46 > 0:34:48but on the other hand, I'm going to buy it.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Two purchases down for Charlie,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53but Catherine's still wrestling with her chimney bricks.
0:34:53 > 0:34:58If I buy three, I've got to spend £85 and I think that's too much to spend,
0:34:58 > 0:35:01but I think to buy two of them for 55...
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Sensible decision. Go for two.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Still thinking? - Yes, I am still thinking.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- I would like to buy all of them. - That's two, four, six of them.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Hang on, Catherine. Didn't you say two just a minute ago?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16What would 120 be?
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- Too low.- Too low?- Hmm.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- 150.- Hmm.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Can we say 130, Joe?
0:35:25 > 0:35:26140.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Right.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30130...
0:35:30 > 0:35:33130... I'm going to go for it, Joe.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36I think Joe just said 140, didn't he?
0:35:36 > 0:35:38- 130.- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
0:35:38 > 0:35:43- I think I am going to go for them. - Was I on 130 or was I on 140? You've got me confused.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- Where were we? Sorry.- 140. - I thought we said 130.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- Nice try, Catherine.- Go on, 130.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- OK. Sorry. I honestly couldn't... - Oh, yeah(!)
0:35:51 > 0:35:56- I'm not sure I can stand the indecision any more.- Thank you. I'm not sure I can stand it any more.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Now, out of the frying pan, into the fire!
0:35:59 > 0:36:05This may be a shout too much, but could you possibly take a tenner for your fireman's helmet?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07I will drive along in it then.
0:36:07 > 0:36:13Just to see you wearing that driving along, I think you can have that for a tenner.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16You are a gentleman, sir!
0:36:16 > 0:36:20I am going to wear that wherever we go now. I feel very at home with this on.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Boy!
0:36:22 > 0:36:27So, just to recap, Catherine has bought six chimney bricks for 130
0:36:27 > 0:36:33and Charlie snaffled up a bottle of beer, a mandolin harp and a fireman's helmet for 47.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Gosh!
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Our experts are leaving Birdham behind
0:36:40 > 0:36:44and heading 4.5 miles north to Chichester.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Chichester is a beautiful and bustling market city.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50It's towered over by its impressive cathedral,
0:36:50 > 0:36:53the spire of which once fell down during restoration works.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55That's builders for you!
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Thankfully, Charlie has his helmet on, though, just in case
0:36:58 > 0:37:00as our pair pull up at the next shop.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04- Can I come?- No, you can't come. This is all for old Rossco.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11May I take my old mac off and reveal my rather outrageous jacket?
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Oh, please don't! Wow!
0:37:13 > 0:37:18There is something I'll pull out here because it looks rather interesting.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22I do like things relating to booze and that's a champagne bottle.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Ah! It's got a serrated edge on it. It's a vesta.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28So you put your matches in there
0:37:28 > 0:37:31and strike 'em there.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Oh, that's fab. It's also a cigar-cutter.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Isn't that a rare object?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40I've priced it at 50, which I have to get.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Lesley, you're such a temptress.
0:37:42 > 0:37:49The only drop I would do would be, just being nice, to 48. And that's it.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53- And I bet you don't lose on it. - How much do you bet me? 48 quid?
0:37:53 > 0:37:56The two extra I'm taking off.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Charlie, don't forget you've got to make money.
0:37:59 > 0:38:04I'm going to spend £48 of my hard-earned money
0:38:04 > 0:38:09and I'm going to have your voice ringing in my ears, Lesley,
0:38:09 > 0:38:13"You won't lose money on that, Charlie."
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Whilst Charlie guilt-trips dealer Lesley,
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Catherine has headed to Peter Hancock Antiques
0:38:20 > 0:38:22with only £70 left to spend.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Hello there. I'm looking for something special.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32I'm looking at your perfume bottles because they seem to be quite reasonably priced.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Cor! Catherine's picked up a thing of quality.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39This perfume bottle was made by celebrated silversmiths William Comyns & Sons
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- who even made coronets for coronations.- It's very nice.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45What can you do that for?
0:38:45 > 0:38:47I could do that for 40.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50I like, in particular, the bird
0:38:50 > 0:38:56and then at the front it's got a place there where the lady would have put her initials.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Luckily, there's no initials there, which is quite nice.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02I'll take it from you if that can be 30.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05OK.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09This one here... I'm so sorry that I'm doing this to you.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- That one could be 20. - Do you want to do 15 on this?
0:39:13 > 0:39:15I'll do £45 the two.
0:39:15 > 0:39:1845...
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- Let's go for them.- Is that the real deal?- That's the real deal.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26We'll shake on that, then. Thank you very much.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- 20.- 20.- 40.- 40.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- 50.- 50.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Peter, thank you so much for dealing with me. Wonderful.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35£5 change. Thank you.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- Anything for a fiver? - Anything for a fiver...
0:39:39 > 0:39:41While Peter, no doubt, has a well-earned lie-down...
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Do you want that little one for a fiver?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46..junior assistant Paul wraps up the deal.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50That's lovely. A fantastic little perfume bottle.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52And I can have this for a fiver?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- I'll wrap it for you.- Fantastic.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Yeah, quick. He won't mind, will he? I don't want you to get fired!
0:39:59 > 0:40:01You're a lucky girl, Miss Southon.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Charlie and Catherine are leaving Chichester behind,
0:40:05 > 0:40:08popping into Hampshire and the village of Emsworth.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Emsworth sits at the north end of Chichester harbour.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Back in the 19th century, it was a thriving fishing village,
0:40:16 > 0:40:20famed for its oysters, and was home to no less than 30 pubs and beer houses.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Nowadays, there are merely nine pubs
0:40:23 > 0:40:28and a rather delightful antiques shop run by the equally delightful Hilary. Look out!
0:40:28 > 0:40:35- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon. - Charlie Ross.- Hilary Bolt. - Hilary, nice to meet you.- And you.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40- May I have a look round?- Please do. - There is something I saw in the window which is fantastic.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- It's the Silver Jubilee train.- Yes.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48- Don't bother to get it out.- Are you sure?- No. It's just not in my range.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52- Talking about the Silver Jubilee, we do have a chair from the coronation.- Do you?
0:40:52 > 0:40:58I believe, after the coronation, you could respond to a newspaper advert
0:40:58 > 0:41:03and put your name down for one or more of the chairs or the stools
0:41:03 > 0:41:05after the person who had sat on them
0:41:05 > 0:41:08had had the option of buying it themselves,
0:41:08 > 0:41:12so earls and countesses went away with their high-backed chairs
0:41:12 > 0:41:19- and choristers could or could not have their stools according to the whim...- Yeah, isn't that fantastic?
0:41:19 > 0:41:24And there we are, look - "coronation". I think they're great.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28They're such a piece of history, aren't they? Is this yours?
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- No. But what have they got on it?- 85.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34This stool belongs to one of the dealers who sell their wares here.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37I daren't be around when this call is made.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Oh, hello. It's Hilary here from the antiques shop.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45We've got somebody who's interested in the coronation stool.
0:41:45 > 0:41:51Could you do it, by any chance, for, say, £35?
0:41:51 > 0:41:54£50 off. That's not bad.
0:41:54 > 0:42:01Uh... They say yes, but only if it's cash.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Oh, it'll be cash. Really?
0:42:03 > 0:42:08- You're an absolute angel.- Thank you. - That's really splendid.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Charming Charlie does it again. Meanwhile, just up the road,
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Catherine's pulling up to somewhere rather special.
0:42:16 > 0:42:22Behind the facade of this unassuming bungalow lies a treat for the ears and eyes.
0:42:22 > 0:42:27- Hi.- Hello. - Lester Jones collects and restores Victorian, mechanical music boxes.
0:42:27 > 0:42:28Wow!
0:42:28 > 0:42:34This is brilliant. So how did you get interested in musical boxes?
0:42:34 > 0:42:38It started as a family collection, my grandfather and father,
0:42:38 > 0:42:43then the restoration side of it was something that I took on seriously about 25 years ago.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47We've got a lovely selection here, as well, of cylinder boxes.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Can we have a little listen to see how it sounds? I'd love to hear it.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53CREAKING AND CRANKING
0:42:53 > 0:42:57SOFT CHIME OF CAN-CAN MUSIC
0:42:57 > 0:43:00We know this, don't we?
0:43:00 > 0:43:02SHE SINGS ALONG
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Developed from 18th century musical snuff boxes,
0:43:05 > 0:43:09the very first Victorian mechanical music boxes feature
0:43:09 > 0:43:11a metal cylinder covered in pins.
0:43:11 > 0:43:15When rotated, the pins catch the teeth of a comb
0:43:15 > 0:43:17in a specific sequence,
0:43:17 > 0:43:22thereby creating the lovely sound exactly as the Victorians would have heard it.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24I buy them in an unrestored condition.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26And you like to do it yourself.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30The movements and the cases are then all fully restored,
0:43:30 > 0:43:33so they look and play like they did when they were new.
0:43:33 > 0:43:38- What's over here? - That's a musical chair. - These are quite rare, aren't they?
0:43:38 > 0:43:44They're very spindly, so not too many have survived. There's a small cylinder music box under the seat.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46When you sit on it, it allows the governor to run.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48It's not going to work now.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50- TUNE PLAYS - There we are.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56I suppose they used to find this quite hilarious, didn't they?
0:43:56 > 0:43:58It was a bit of a novelty and a bit of fun,
0:43:58 > 0:44:01but I'm not sure I feel terribly comfortable on a chair
0:44:01 > 0:44:05where music is being played underneath my bottom.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07I think I'll get up.
0:44:07 > 0:44:15They were truly into novelties. The Victorians put musical boxes into fruit bowls, steins and chairs.
0:44:15 > 0:44:22You name it, you can find a musical version of any household item that they had at the time.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26Eventually, the cylinders were replaced by discs
0:44:26 > 0:44:29which enabled tunes to be changed quickly and easily.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32TUNE PLAYS This is a typical instrument
0:44:32 > 0:44:36that would have been in English pubs and cafes just prior to 1900.
0:44:36 > 0:44:41So people would have thought these were quite cool things to have at the time.
0:44:41 > 0:44:46Today, we have our jukebox, something where we put the money in and we get our selected music.
0:44:46 > 0:44:51- That's what they were doing in the 1900s.- In 1900, this was cutting-edge technology.
0:44:51 > 0:44:56And now these beautiful machines have become very desirable and valuable.
0:44:56 > 0:45:02I'm looking over here at this beautiful automaton. Can I have a look at this?
0:45:02 > 0:45:04So by automaton, we're meaning...?
0:45:04 > 0:45:12A mechanical, moving figure or a picture, often with a musical movement as well.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16Let's see what it does. I'm intrigued to see.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18- TUNE PLAYS - Oh, look at that. Oh, look at that!
0:45:19 > 0:45:22That is absolutely delightful.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25We've got a little train going past.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29We've got this little figure walking around the turret
0:45:29 > 0:45:31and this rocking ship.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34Even that just by itself...
0:45:37 > 0:45:40It's so sophisticated. There's so much going on there,
0:45:40 > 0:45:44to go up and down on this simulated sea, plus the clock movement.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46That is very exciting, I think.
0:45:47 > 0:45:52- Thank you very much, Lester. It's been a real privilege and a pleasure.- I'm glad you enjoyed it.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54Thank you very much indeed.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01Back on the road and, oh dear, with no car roof,
0:46:01 > 0:46:04our experts have resorted to shower caps again.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07Charlie Ross, remind me what we're doing.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10Because I feel that I have lost the plot slightly.
0:46:11 > 0:46:17I must say, the Lord has blessed us with the most unbelievable weather on this trip.
0:46:17 > 0:46:24But thankfully, our experts have both been blessed with a "glass half-full" take on life.
0:46:24 > 0:46:28# Always look on the bright side of life
0:46:28 > 0:46:31# Do-doo, do-doo, do-doo, do-doo
0:46:32 > 0:46:35# Always look on the bright side of life... #
0:46:35 > 0:46:39- I just got dripped on by that tree! - 'Come on, Brian, cheer up!'
0:46:39 > 0:46:42Our competitive pair are leaving Emsworth behind
0:46:42 > 0:46:45and heading to Arundel in West Sussex.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50And they're both nearly broke.
0:46:50 > 0:46:55Catherine has £14.96 left, whilst Charlie has £5.30,
0:46:55 > 0:46:58so an expensive antiques shop is a no-no.
0:46:58 > 0:47:00- Aerodrome!- Look, car boot sale!
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Ah, just the ticket!
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Come hither.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07This huge car boot sale is held on an airfield
0:47:07 > 0:47:10and is normally teeming with buyers and sellers,
0:47:10 > 0:47:13but Catherine and Charlie have arrived a little late.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16I rather like this.
0:47:16 > 0:47:20I rather expect it's quite a lot of money. It's got a super wheel.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23And it's just suitably distressed.
0:47:23 > 0:47:29- A bit like me!- Get in and I'll wheel you around.- I'm not sure the gentleman will give us permission.
0:47:29 > 0:47:34- You're lighter than I am. You should be in the barrow. - No, I'm not getting my jeans dirty.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37- I'm not getting my trousers dirty. - In you get.- No!
0:47:37 > 0:47:40How much would you pay for that barrow?
0:47:40 > 0:47:42- About a fiver.- Yeah.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44It's 50 quid.
0:47:44 > 0:47:49Catherine is on her local patch here, but any insider knowledge doesn't help
0:47:49 > 0:47:52when nearly everyone has gone home. Huh!
0:47:52 > 0:47:56It's normally completely full right down to the end here.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00Hello! Got anything left?
0:48:00 > 0:48:04Charlie has stumbled across a friendly Dutchman - Harry Oolders.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06I love your hat. Is that for sale?
0:48:06 > 0:48:10- Is that your wife in the car?- Yes. - Hello, my dear!
0:48:10 > 0:48:14- Morning, Charlie?- How very... "Charlie" - you know my name!
0:48:14 > 0:48:19- How very sensible to stay in the dry...- Yeah.- ..while the old man does the business.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22I will come straight to the point.
0:48:22 > 0:48:26- I am left with £5 in my pocket. - No! No more?
0:48:28 > 0:48:30Oh, look, that must be a Dutch oil painting.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33- Wempe.- Wempe, yes.
0:48:33 > 0:48:38Pieter Wempe - he's a very famous artist(!) Oh, yes, he is.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41Charlie, what are you doing? That painting is total tat!
0:48:41 > 0:48:46- It's a lovely signature. Is that £5?- £5 for you.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49I think for a fiver...
0:48:49 > 0:48:53It's probably worth two quid, but you're such a lovely man,
0:48:53 > 0:48:56I'm going to buy it because I want to buy it. Here we go.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58Five of the best, sir.
0:49:00 > 0:49:04Charlie's final item, but Catherine can't find anything she wants to buy,
0:49:04 > 0:49:05apart from... Remember this?
0:49:05 > 0:49:10- How much is your wheelbarrow? - I've got 50 on it.- Oh!- £50.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13- But I can move a little bit. - Can you move a lot?
0:49:13 > 0:49:17Something like that would look great in a garden filled with...
0:49:17 > 0:49:22- Absolutely.- Filled with nice, blooming flowers, it would look wonderful in the summer.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25I tell you what. £30, you can buy it.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29I would buy it at that, but I promise you, I haven't got that left.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32Can I buy it for £14.96?
0:49:32 > 0:49:34I could have a lot of fun with that.
0:49:34 > 0:49:40I'd love to sell it, make a lot of money and shove Charlie in it and wheel off to success.
0:49:40 > 0:49:45- Go on, shake my hand.- Shall I do it? - I've never sold one as cheap. - Have you not?- Never.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48- Do you think I should do it? - Shake my hand.- Yeah!
0:49:48 > 0:49:51That's a first - a deal done on sheer exuberance!
0:49:51 > 0:49:53You've got to hand it to her.
0:49:53 > 0:49:57- This is literally it down to the last drop.- I believe you.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00So that leaves our experts virtually spent up.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05Charlie started this leg with £135.30
0:50:05 > 0:50:10spent exactly £135 on a George V coronation mandolin harp,
0:50:10 > 0:50:13a Hampshire fire service helmet,
0:50:13 > 0:50:16a rare combined Vesta cigar cutter,
0:50:16 > 0:50:19a 1953 coronation stool from Westminster Abbey,
0:50:19 > 0:50:21a Silver Jubilee commemorative beer,
0:50:21 > 0:50:25and a painting by F J Wempe.
0:50:25 > 0:50:26Oh, it'll be cash!
0:50:26 > 0:50:31Catherine began with £194.96 and spent every penny she had on
0:50:31 > 0:50:34six rare and unusual chimney bricks,
0:50:34 > 0:50:39three perfume bottles, that she'll sell as two separate lots,
0:50:39 > 0:50:45and a 1950s wheelbarrow. So what do our experts think of each other's lots?
0:50:45 > 0:50:48Wheelbarrow, quoted to Rossco, £60.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51Catherine buys for £14 and a few pence.
0:50:51 > 0:50:54She's bought three wonderful silver-top jars,
0:50:54 > 0:50:59one by William Comyns, a great maker, which I think is worth 100 quid on its own.
0:50:59 > 0:51:05The beer, the picture, the helmet - it's just Charlie, really, isn't it?
0:51:05 > 0:51:06Silly Charlie.
0:51:06 > 0:51:10But I think there is a tad of seriousness coming in there
0:51:10 > 0:51:14and there's a couple of things there that I'm a little bit jealous of.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17The stool, I think is actually rather good.
0:51:17 > 0:51:22But between you and me, I do hope that the bricks sink.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25Ooh! Well, let the battle commence, eh?
0:51:25 > 0:51:29Catherine and Charlie began in Birdham, West Sussex,
0:51:29 > 0:51:32had a little detour into Hampshire, then continued eastwards.
0:51:32 > 0:51:36They will now conclude at an auction in Lewes, East Sussex.
0:51:38 > 0:51:40This is where it's at.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43How was that, Miss Southon? Perfectly driven as always.
0:51:43 > 0:51:48Gorringes made its name by selling the collections of large country houses
0:51:48 > 0:51:51and now has a reputation for auctioning fine antiques and collectables.
0:51:51 > 0:51:57So does auctioneer Philip Taylor think our experts' choices make the grade? Philip?
0:51:57 > 0:52:01Charlie and Catherine have brought some interesting things for us to look at,
0:52:01 > 0:52:07but unfortunately, maybe they didn't realise the day we're offering it is a silver sale.
0:52:07 > 0:52:12I'm not sure we're going to have too many buyers for their wheelbarrow on a silver sale
0:52:12 > 0:52:16or for the chimney bricks. We'll see. Hopefully, we'll do OK.
0:52:16 > 0:52:20Oh dear, a silver sale. This could be disastrous.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23First up is Charlie's coronation stool.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26£20 for somebody to start it? The coronation stool? 20 I'm bid.
0:52:26 > 0:52:2825. 25. 30 bid. 35.
0:52:28 > 0:52:31£35 only. 40 bid now. At £40.
0:52:31 > 0:52:36I need to sell it at 40. Are you all done? Then at £40 it goes...
0:52:37 > 0:52:39That's a loss after the auction house
0:52:39 > 0:52:41takes its well-earned commission.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44Ah, here we are. This is my lot, everybody.
0:52:44 > 0:52:48Yes, it's Catherine's big gamble next - her chimney bricks.
0:52:48 > 0:52:50£20 to get them started? £10, surely?
0:52:50 > 0:52:53- £10?!- The chimney bricks at £10?
0:52:53 > 0:52:56- Oh, no!- I'll give you 10.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59- What a man!- £10 bid. At 10. £10 only. 15 now.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02- Come along now. At 15. - I don't believe it.- 20 in front.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06At 25 now. They're unusual, aren't they, at 25, you must say?
0:53:06 > 0:53:09Are you all done? At £25 they sell, then.
0:53:09 > 0:53:14Oh, dear, she's dropped a brick there. Six, actually. Poor girl.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17- Are you all right? - No, I'm absolutely heartbroken.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20Will Charlie's helmet set the house on fire?
0:53:20 > 0:53:23£10 bid me on it? Any bids at 10? 5, will someone say?
0:53:23 > 0:53:26Any bids at £5? Thank you, 5 I'm bid. Brave lady at £5.
0:53:26 > 0:53:28Thank goodness for the brave lady!
0:53:28 > 0:53:3210 I'm bid now at the back. 15, madam? Make it 12 if you wish?
0:53:32 > 0:53:3512 I'm bid. Thank you. At £12 only.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37- £12 only...- Yes.
0:53:37 > 0:53:42It looks like a profit, but sadly, that's a loss after costs.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45Next up, Catherine's two perfume bottles.
0:53:45 > 0:53:49£30 to get them started? 25 then? 25 I'm bid. The two together now.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52- 25 only. - I need a bit more than 25, Charlie.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55- £30 bid. £30. 35.- Ssh!- 35. At 40.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58Come on. Come on. They're really good.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00- 45. 50.- Come on.- At 50.
0:54:00 > 0:54:04- At £50 bid.- Come on.- At £50. 55. At 55. 60.
0:54:04 > 0:54:09- The two together now at £60.- Please keep going. Please keep going.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12- 65. At 65. Still yours at 65. - Come on, keep going.
0:54:12 > 0:54:17- Keep going.- Last time, then, lady's bid in front. At £65 they go...
0:54:17 > 0:54:21Look at that! An excellent profit for Catherine. She's edging back.
0:54:21 > 0:54:26- To hell with the bricks! Forget the bricks.- No, Charlie, I can't ever forget the bricks.
0:54:26 > 0:54:31We'll all have to move on now. It's Charlie's oil painting next.
0:54:31 > 0:54:35Anyone seen it? 20? Start me at £20? £10 to get me started, someone?
0:54:35 > 0:54:38- Something would be good. - Yes, something would do. £5.
0:54:38 > 0:54:42- The gentleman's seen it. £5 only. - Congratulations, sir.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44You don't need to see it at this price. At £5.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47I'll have to sell it at 5. It goes at £5 only...
0:54:49 > 0:54:53And that's broken even. Charlie is struggling to make profits today.
0:54:53 > 0:54:56We're not having a good day.
0:54:56 > 0:55:01What you both need is a bit of music to your ears. Will the harp sing?
0:55:01 > 0:55:03What shall we say? £20 for the zither?
0:55:03 > 0:55:06£10 for the zither to get it started? 10 I'm bid.
0:55:06 > 0:55:10- Result, frankly!- 15 bid. 20 now. 25. £25 for the zither.
0:55:10 > 0:55:13- 30.- This is a world record for a zither.
0:55:13 > 0:55:17In the corner now at 30. You're going to get it, I think, at 30.
0:55:17 > 0:55:21- Finished at £30... - You're a wonderful man.
0:55:21 > 0:55:24It's another loss. Oh, dear.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Chuffed?
0:55:26 > 0:55:28Over the moon(!)
0:55:28 > 0:55:31Next, Catherine's rustic wheelbarrow.
0:55:31 > 0:55:36£20 I'm bid. At 20 here. Only at £20. 25, I should think so too. At 25.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39£30 now, sir. At 30. 35, will you?
0:55:39 > 0:55:43At 35, I have. It's on the back wall now at £35.
0:55:43 > 0:55:45- Oh!- At £40. At 40.- On the internet.
0:55:45 > 0:55:48- At £40 on the desk.- Oh!- £45.
0:55:48 > 0:55:51At 45. 50, I have.
0:55:51 > 0:55:55- Beside me now at 50.- Thank you. - Sells at £50 on the desk...
0:55:55 > 0:55:57Thank you, everybody.
0:55:57 > 0:56:01Excellent profit on the wheelbarrow, considering it's a silver sale!
0:56:01 > 0:56:03You've got to laugh or you cry.
0:56:03 > 0:56:09Next, Charlie's only silver of the auction. Silver Jubilee, that is.
0:56:09 > 0:56:12Any bids at £5? Get me started, surely? £2 if you wish?
0:56:12 > 0:56:16- £2 on my right. The bid is at £2. - Somebody's bid £2.
0:56:16 > 0:56:19- Somebody's bid on the internet. Marvellous.- At £2 only...
0:56:19 > 0:56:22Oh, that bottle sank!
0:56:22 > 0:56:26I've got to pay a commission on that, Miss Southon.
0:56:26 > 0:56:28I've got to pay about 35p commission.
0:56:28 > 0:56:33Hopefully, Charlie's champagne plated vesta picks up his profits.
0:56:33 > 0:56:37£20 to get it started? £10 if you wish? Thank you, 10 I'm bid.
0:56:37 > 0:56:40- 15 bid now. Thank you, sir. At £20. - I'm surprised, actually.
0:56:40 > 0:56:44- Very cheap, isn't it? - I'm very surprised. That's not on.
0:56:44 > 0:56:4625, thank you, sir. At £25.
0:56:46 > 0:56:50- 35.- It deserves to do well, this, Charlie.- The bid now is at 35.
0:56:50 > 0:56:55- Not quite what I expected. - I'm letting it go then at £35...
0:56:55 > 0:56:58That really surprises me.
0:56:58 > 0:57:02Champagne Charlie loved it, but sadly, no-one else seemed to.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05I would have bought that, definitely.
0:57:05 > 0:57:10Now it's the last lot of the day - Catherine's embossed perfume bottle.
0:57:10 > 0:57:12She sure needs it to make a profit.
0:57:12 > 0:57:15Straight in at £50 to start it.
0:57:15 > 0:57:1755. 60 now. 65.
0:57:17 > 0:57:20£65 bid. At 65... 70 bid.
0:57:20 > 0:57:25Are we all done? Any further bidders then? At £70. It sells at 70...
0:57:25 > 0:57:27Well done, Catherine.
0:57:27 > 0:57:29A great profit for Catherine,
0:57:29 > 0:57:33but has it made a dent in her bruising loss on the bricks?
0:57:33 > 0:57:37Charlie started this leg with £135.30
0:57:37 > 0:57:42and has made a loss of £33.32 after auction costs.
0:57:42 > 0:57:47That leaves him with a rather meagre total of £101.98 to carry forward.
0:57:47 > 0:57:49Don't look so sad!
0:57:50 > 0:57:53Catherine had a disaster with her bricks,
0:57:53 > 0:57:57but her other profits mean that she's the winner.
0:57:57 > 0:58:00She began this leg with £194.96
0:58:00 > 0:58:03and made a loss of £22.76,
0:58:03 > 0:58:07bringing her total to £172.20 to spend next time.
0:58:10 > 0:58:14Right, Miss Southon, allow me, oh, most prestigious brick-buyer.
0:58:14 > 0:58:18You're not allowed to mention that word!
0:58:18 > 0:58:25- Although I just bumped into the buyer who bought the bricks. - Yeah.- £25?- He did.
0:58:25 > 0:58:27He's just sold them for 50.
0:58:27 > 0:58:29CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:58:29 > 0:58:35- Thank you, Lord! - I cannot believe it. - Onwards and upwards.- Off we go!
