0:00:01 > 0:00:03(Tim Wonnacott) It's the nation's favourite antiques experts
0:00:03 > 0:00:05with £200 each,
0:00:05 > 0:00:06a classic car
0:00:06 > 0:00:09and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11That hurts.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22So much!
0:00:22 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory or slow road to disaster?
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39It's a brand new week and a brand new road trip,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42so let's meet our brand new treasure hunters.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47David Barby first became interested in antiques at the age of 12!
0:00:47 > 0:00:51And he's been at it ever since, which is a very, very, long time.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Oh, I feel old today.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56He's known by his colleagues as The Master.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Beryl, look in my eyes. 22.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02And here's his travelling companion, Margie Cooper.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Afternoon.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Margie comes from a long line of antique dealers.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10She loves a bargain but she doesn't always have a plan.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15I've absolutely no idea what his game plan is. I'm just worrying about mine.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19It's day one for David and Margie
0:01:19 > 0:01:24as they set off in their retro 1979 Mercedes 350 SL.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28It's a real dream machine and Margie has fond memories of the classic car.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33So, do you remember Dallas, David?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I remember Dallas with Joan Collins.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37No, she was in Dynasty.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Don't you mean Dynasty?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41This was the iconic car that Bobby owned.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Bobby was JR's brother. - Right, right.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47So, as our very own Sue Ellen and JR hit the open road,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51let's hope oil's well that ends well(!)
0:01:55 > 0:01:59The route for the week ahead takes our intrepid road travellers
0:01:59 > 0:02:01from Alnwick in Northumberland
0:02:01 > 0:02:02through beautiful countryside
0:02:02 > 0:02:06to the final destination of Lincoln, 200 miles away.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Today's road trip begins in Alnwick
0:02:10 > 0:02:14and ends up 90 miles due south in Leyburn, North Yorkshire.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17So, first up is historic Alnwick.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24This picturesque market town dates back to 600AD
0:02:24 > 0:02:28and was a staging post on the Great North Road between London and Edinburgh.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31But taking centre stage is the magical Alnwick Castle,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34star of the Harry Potter films.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39- I always thought it was a mock-up, but it isn't, is it? It's here. - No, no, no.- That's incredible.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Just look at it. Splendid. - It really is very good.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44It's certainly cast a spell on our experts.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47The first stop for Margie is nearby Alnwick Lodge.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51What a fabulous place!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Now this looks the sort of place where there's hidden treasures.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Do you think so?- Don't forget your handbag with all that money.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- See you!- Bye.- Bye.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Now, this looks interesting.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04I'm excited.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08This exquisite emporium has been owned by Peter Smith since 1978.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Hi!- Good morning. - Peter, good morning.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Peter has lovingly transformed the lodge into the most unusual of shops
0:03:16 > 0:03:18and declares his love of antiques from the rooftops...
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- literally. - Look up as well as down.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I quite like that. It isn't Worcester, but it looks just like Worcester.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I think it's, sort of, like 1900, isn't it?
0:03:29 > 0:03:311900s, 1920?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I'm just impressed by the quality of the painting.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I like that. It would be nice if that was a little Worcester cup,
0:03:37 > 0:03:42because that would go for, like, 20 or 30 pounds. And it's only a fiver.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45What's David going to say if I show him that? Is he going to laugh?
0:03:46 > 0:03:47He probably is.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Stop worrying about what David might say. It's only a fiver.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54But it could be cheaper, couldn't it? Five pounds.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55- Four pounds?- Four pounds.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I can't argue with you, can I?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- It's very beautiful.- But it's not going to set the world on fire.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03So you've said four, yeah?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07£3.50. My final offer.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Look, I'm not going to argue with you. £3.50's fine.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Just up the road at the Antiques Centre,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15David also has his eye on a rather special mug.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21This is a political election victory mug,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23which is quite rare.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27The great contest at Alnwick, which is interesting, this is where we are.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31"The choice of the people and Northumberlands."
0:04:31 > 0:04:34But what an interesting piece.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36How much is that? £38.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I like that.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44I feel a deal coming on.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47What's the value on that? What's your very best price?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Oh, gosh.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53But will David be able to work his magic on Beryl?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- It's got to be quite cheap, actually.- Yeah. 20?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- It's very reasonable. - Awful spasm I had in my heart then.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03That it was too cheap?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05No!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I think the condition goes against it, really,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10but it's an interesting piece because of its local history.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Oh, g... 15. And that's it. - That's the lowest, is it?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Yea. Yeah.- OK.- Because I've only put it in this morning.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Have you really?- Yes, yeah.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Well, no point in rushing a decision when there's some enticing pieces of Staffordshire nearby.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Is that £15 the pair?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Well, I suppose to you, yes.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31But anybody else, no.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33They don't sell, do they?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36That's the trouble with Staffordshire at the moment.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- Such a shame. - Well, we seem to sell them.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- Do you really?- We've only got those. We haven't got any more cos we've sold the rest.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44So, these are the rejects?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Cheeky.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Well, no, those are something else that's come in this morning.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Do you want to think about it? I'll put them aside.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- OK.- Right.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- I'll put them in the office. - Lovely. Thank you very much.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Well, he's not the only one getting excited.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09See, that catches my eye. I really like Imari porcelain.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12You know, the blues and the lovely colours.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Let's just have a look. Really pretty.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20Imari porcelain was made in Japan and extensively exported
0:06:20 > 0:06:24via the port of Imari between the 17th and 20th centuries.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Can you spot the slight problem?
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Huge crack there.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Very mendable problem.- Yeah.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35If it's cheap enough, I'll go for it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38So, it's £10.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40You said eight pounds on it.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42It's going to have to be five.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Otherwise, I don't think there's any point in me trying.
0:06:47 > 0:06:495.50?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52You love your 50ps, don't you?
0:06:52 > 0:06:545.50, you're on.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Thank you.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Right. After all that, I owe you £9.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01£9. Not bad for a cracked plate and a teacup.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03So, off to find David.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I hardly dare tell him what I've bought.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09He'd better not laugh.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Laugh? David's far too busy for that.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16He's now got his eye on a copper coal scuttle
0:07:16 > 0:07:19and has stallholder, Annie, in his sights.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- 75.- Ooph!
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Too much for the present state of the market.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28It really is. Can you go down to 40?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32No, no. No way, no.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- 50. Sorry.- Could you split the difference between 40 and 50? 45.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40That's a lot off.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44But copper is not selling at the moment.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- OK.- Well, you know the market.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I'll believe you.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Go on then, 45. - 45, yeah. OK, 45.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Thank you.- Thank you very much indeed.- Thank you.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Looks like he's not finished yet, though.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Here comes that cracked tankard and the Staffordshire figures.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Right, now we've got that
0:08:05 > 0:08:07and we've got those two pieces.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11You've told me I can have those at 15. I hoped for 10 but...
0:08:12 > 0:08:16No, it's got to be... They've got to be 15 each.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Those for 15 and that for 15, that's 30.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22That's the worrying one, actually.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- I think you're... - Could you do them for 20, please?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Well, I think that's a bit...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- 25, OK?- Can we split the difference at 22?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32- No.- 22.- 25.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Beryl, look in my eyes.- 22,22.
0:08:35 > 0:08:3725.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Go on then, being as it's you, yeah.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44The master of seduction. That hypnotic stare has worked a charm.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45David.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47HORN HONKS
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- Are you ready? - My word, you're raring to go.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Have you had a good day?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- So-so.- Oh.- Have you had a good day?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Wonderful. Absolutely superb.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I've enjoyed every minute of it.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Reunited, David and Margie are back on the road
0:09:01 > 0:09:05and are heading towards Rothbury in the heart of the Northumberland countryside,
0:09:05 > 0:09:09where David's taking a break to recharge his batteries, literally.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Cragside! Do we go up here?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Cragside House is famed for being the first in the world
0:09:17 > 0:09:20to generate its own electricity
0:09:20 > 0:09:23and is so-called because it stands on a crag, of course.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27My, oh my, what a splendid house.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Hello. David Barby. - Hello. Andrew Sawyer.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I'm longing to know about this house. It looks splendid.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33So, what are you going to show me first of all?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I'm going to show you where the electricity was generated first.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Well, lead on.- Thank you.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Cragside's owner, Lord William Armstrong,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46thought fossil fuels would run out within 200 years.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Nicknamed The Geordie Genius, he pioneered green energy
0:09:51 > 0:09:54by using waterfalls to drive in-house generators.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Well, all the equipment survives.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04We don't run it any longer because it is very much a museum piece.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- Right.- And because of its great national importance.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Where did the idea about creating electricity and light bulbs come from?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Was it a variety of people?
0:10:15 > 0:10:20Yes, it's a culmination of all sorts of people's thoughts, really,
0:10:20 > 0:10:25and Lord Armstrong was very good at taking people's ideas
0:10:25 > 0:10:26and evolving them.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29He was a great innovator really.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Genius.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Not just electricity but free electricity.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35What about drought?
0:10:35 > 0:10:40Well, this was one of the problems that he did encounter in the 1890s
0:10:40 > 0:10:46and he added the battery room to try and take up that slack.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Right.- But, eventually, he had to put in a gas engine
0:10:50 > 0:10:52for those periods of drought.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54So, he designed this for his own use?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- Yes.- And his own use was to light the house.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Yes, to make it the first house in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04But it was a bit of a juggling act
0:11:04 > 0:11:07with the caretaker of the electric light and the butler.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Yes.- Because the butler had to turn off lights
0:11:10 > 0:11:15out of rooms to put on lights in rooms that they were going into.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Right.- Because they could only have 97 on at any one time.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Oh, this is fascinating. - So, the green energy generated
0:11:22 > 0:11:25by this giant dynamo ended up here,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28lighting the very first lamp, in 1880.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Oh, this is wonderful.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32These are the cloisonne vases,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34which were kerosene lamps,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37and he converted them over to the electric light.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40And he made the electric connection
0:11:40 > 0:11:43by having them in a saucer of mercury.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Then he lifted them out of the saucer of mercury to turn them off
0:11:47 > 0:11:50and put them into the saucer of mercury to turn them on.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54But these were the first lamps to be lit in the first room.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56He was known as The Magician, wasn't he?
0:11:56 > 0:12:00The place was known as The Palace Of The Modern Magician.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04And if you think that's magic, just wait until you see upstairs.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Lord Armstrong was keen to show off his electricity
0:12:07 > 0:12:09to the great and the good.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Oh my.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Oh my.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16That is stunning.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19This room was entirely added
0:12:19 > 0:12:23for the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales in 1884.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Well, they came to see the electric light in this very modern home.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Right.- And they did have a choice
0:12:29 > 0:12:32of either going to stay with the Duke of Northumberland...
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Who had no electric light.- Indeed.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37And actually chose to come here.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Now, this was modern living, wasn't it? But for the very wealthy.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Yes. This is the house, really, where modern living began.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49So it was about 60, 70 years before the rest of Britain,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52ordinary people, could actually enjoy electric light in the home.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56But this is where it all began, here.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Yes. You're having a wonderful Armstrong moment.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- Does it happen to many people? - Oh, it happens to everyone that stands in this room.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I'm sure it does. Andrew, can I honestly say,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09this is one of the most exciting properties I've been in to.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12It's wonderful. And thank you very much for taking me round.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14You're very welcome.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Meanwhile, back in the old jalopy,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Margie has driven 30 miles south to Newcastle.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Historically a part of Northumberland,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Newcastle is situated on the north bank of the River Tyne.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28It's the perfect place for our Margie to pick up an antique or two.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Right. We're here.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Margie's next shop is the Fern Avenue Antique Centre,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42run by Giuseppe Anthony.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- Hi. Hello.- Hello there. Pleased to meet you.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Margie Cooper. Nice to me meet you. - Are you all right? Pleased to meet you.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- I'm going to have a look round. - Yeah, please do.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- And, see how we get on.- Okey doke.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Margie's only spent a paltry £9 so far
0:13:57 > 0:13:59but I sense a shift in strategy.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Well, my plan is to just try and find something.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07I'd like to find a couple of things, you know, 40, 50 pounds each,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10that I can make, sort of, 20 or 30 pounds on.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I do want to go for it a little bit, don't I?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14What's this?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18These do well.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- It's a dough bowl.- Yeah.- Eastern European, for mixing the dough,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25come in various sizes, make a great sledge.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Yeah.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Looks Romanian to me.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Made out of a single piece of wood, in this case sycamore,
0:14:31 > 0:14:36and, after being hollowed out, the giant bowls were used to mix dough in.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38That's cheap and cheerful.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40£38, which doesn't sound very dear.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45So how cheap can this be, 'Seppe? Come on, you want me out of here, don't you?
0:14:45 > 0:14:4735 quid and it's for nothing.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- 35. You've knocked three quid off. - Yeah.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53You've put sycamore there.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I'm syca-you!
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- I don't blame you. I'm sick of myself.- No.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Come on, can it be, like...?
0:15:00 > 0:15:01- Can it be what?- Can it be 25 quid?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03No, it can't be 25.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05£32, but that is the bottom line.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Don't even think about bidding me. - Really?- Yeah.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- Cos I'd offend you?- I wouldn't be offended but you'll just get a "no".
0:15:14 > 0:15:17£32, it's not a lot of money.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- We'll have it.- Right?- Yeah.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23So that's one, two, three, £40.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Thank you very much.- Lovely. Great.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- The strategy's not working. - You're not wrong there.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Wasn't the idea to buy boldly?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Never mind, there's still time.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Sunderland beckons.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Founded in 1179 at the mouth of the River Wear,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Sunderland grew from a humble fishing village
0:15:50 > 0:15:53to become a thriving port, trading coal and salt.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Last shop of the day.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01SPOOKY MOAN
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Oh, my goodness.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09It's the head of a giraffe, isn't it?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12It says, "Please do not touch".
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Oi, can't you read?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Yeah, it is.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18A weird and wonderful shop. Right, let's have a look round.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- I'm a bit fascinated by your giraffe.- Hello.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24This strange curiosity shop belongs to David Whitfield,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26who is giraffe-daft.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Have a look round. Just help yourself. Feel free.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Right. That's an interesting piece of wood isn't it, your baluster here?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Er, newel post.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Can I just unleash it? - Course you can. Do you want a hand?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Yeah. I might just try and get him down a bit.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43You don't want it to drop on your toes.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48- So what did you say, darling?- £60.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54And that's the least?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- £40.- Oh, done it.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- OK.- That's terrific. Oh, I love it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Love it, love it, love it.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I think we got the message.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I haven't spent long in the shop and I found something.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- £40.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Thank you so much.- Thank you, Margie. Lovely meeting you.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12And you, too.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Well, I can't believe I've just bought a newel post.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Nor can I.- But I think it's superb
0:17:17 > 0:17:20and I'm really pleased and it's the best buy today.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22So I'm off.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23- See ya.- See ya.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Wouldn't want to be you, not with that newel post.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Margie has splashed the cash on a piece of old staircase
0:17:29 > 0:17:31but will she still love it tomorrow?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Night-night.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37It's a brand new day and our experts are pushing south
0:17:37 > 0:17:43in their 1979 Mercedes 350 SL, with David in the driving seat.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46The thing that I'm worried about is it's automatic.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I have never driven an automatic before.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Now he tells us.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I feel as though I should be doing something with the left leg.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Just leave your left leg alone. Give it a rest.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00These two are turning into a right old married couple.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03So far, David's spent £67 on two lots.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05A lovely pair of Staffordshire figures bundled together
0:18:05 > 0:18:08with a chipped, old tankard and a copper coal scuttle,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12which means he's still got £133 burning a hole in his pocket...
0:18:13 > 0:18:15..and smiling.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Margie, meanwhile, has managed to spend a total of £81 on three lots.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25A pretty porcelain cup paired with a cracked Imari plate,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28a mahogany newel post and a rather rustic dough bowl.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30A porter would just stand there like that.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33But will she rise to the challenge and prove to be a worthy winner,
0:18:33 > 0:18:37with just £119 cash remaining?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Before he gets down to more shopping,
0:18:41 > 0:18:45David is making a detour to Weardale in County Durham
0:18:45 > 0:18:48to drop Margie off for a royal appointment.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51This is an area of outstanding natural beauty,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53rolling hills and valleys,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55and it even has a pony.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- Well, here we are. - Now, you have a good day.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- I will do so. - Don't buy anything special.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- I promise not to do that. - I'll see you later.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Bye-bye.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- That's a good start.- Margie is here to meet Anita Atkinson.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Union Jack mad.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17A loyal subject with a right royal passion.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Anita!- Hello. You made it. Margie Cooper.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- I have made it. - Pleased to meet you. Come on in.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Would you please be upstanding
0:19:24 > 0:19:26for Anita's enormous collection of royal memorabilia.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Oh, my goodness me.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31This is some of it.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Gosh, so when did you start all this?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I think my collection really took off in Silver Jubilee year
0:19:37 > 0:19:41because that was the first big occasion of my lifetime.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I've now got over 5,000.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Anita used to be the world record holder for the largest collection
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- but she recently lost her crown. - I'm not bothered about it at all.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53In fact, I'm over the moon that there's someone else as daft as me.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Right, well, I can show you my oldest piece,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- if you'd like to see that. - I'd particularly like to see that.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Because the collection starts at Queen Victoria's coronation.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04This is actually an original newspaper
0:20:04 > 0:20:08and it's the coronation edition of the Sun,
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- June 28th, 1838. - That is a lovely thing to have.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15The whole country was rejoicing, of course, because, you know,
0:20:15 > 0:20:19this young queen, 18 years old, she was a teenager and the first female monarch for 100 years.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Yeah.- And I think they had been a bit fed up with old men.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26That's a really fabulous piece of memorabilia.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30And from the oldest piece in the collection to one of the newest.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32What's going on with this, then?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Well spotted!
0:20:36 > 0:20:40A mug celebrating the wedding of Kate Middleton and, er...
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Prince Harry?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43So who got this wrong then?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Well, the manufacturers.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Off with their heads!
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I had to pay £10 for that mug.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Oh, that's funny, isn't it? - I had to get it imported from China.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- You see, in 30, 40, 50 years' time...- Yeah. That is unusual.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58That is the royal wedding mug to collect.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00That'll be on the Antiques Road Trip.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Anita's collection is so big that most of it isn't even on display.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- So, here we go.- Yeah, well, there's more up here.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11This is where most of the collection is.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Right.- Up here, in the loft.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18With 36 boxes full, Anita has royals coming out of the rafters.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Don't you find it frustrating to have a lot of your stuff up here?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Oh, it is, yeah.- Cos you've probably forgotten half the things that are in here.- Yeah.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- You haven't got the room.- Isn't that awful, Edward VII in the loft?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- Yeah, I know.- And there's not many folk can say that.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I've got to get back to my shopping.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37I've got to beat this David Barby.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40And he's out now, shopping, and I'm here, up this ladder.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Mind how you go down the ladder. - I certainly will.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Cos that would be an easy win, wouldn't it, if I fell?
0:21:47 > 0:21:48- Bye!- Bye.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53With a right royal wave to Weardale,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55David has driven on to Durham,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57where there's also a royal connection.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06This impressive castle is the ancient palace of the Prince Bishops,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09who exercised extraordinary powers over the diocese.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18In Durham's indoor market, it seems David has also caught the royal bug.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Oh, dear.- Now, isn't that fun?
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Isn't that fun?
0:22:22 > 0:22:27This is a cameo portrait of the Duke of Edinburgh and Elizabeth.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Now, this was made by Crown Devon, a very good company.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33So there's loads of local history there.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36That's a very nice pot. I quite like that.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40That's £16. A little bit on the high side but we can come back to that.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I'd like to have something that had royal connections
0:22:45 > 0:22:48because of the, you know, the Diamond Jubilee.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51And there's this Wedgwood tankard there.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54That's a good design one.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55That's the Silver Jubilee.
0:22:58 > 0:23:04Have a look at these. They're two sailor dolls and they were produced as sort of souvenirs.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06£12.50 each.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08A little bit on the top side.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Sylvia, are these yours?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Yes. Yes, they are.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17What's the best price you could do on the little dolls?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19What's the best price you could do on them?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Oh, that's asking me to be both buyer and seller.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27£10 each.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28That's still too much, that's £20 for two.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- Are you going to stare at me for ages then?- No, I'm not.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34I wouldn't bet on it.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- 15, final, final offer. - For the two?
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Yes.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43They're jolly cheeky chappies, aren't they?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Will you take £10 for the two?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50£12.50, that's it.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55(£10.)
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Oh, go on, £10.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Whoever would have guessed that David had a thing for sailors?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I think they're great fun.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Thank you very much indeed.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10With another purchase under his belt, David rejoins Margie
0:24:10 > 0:24:13for their final shopping spree in Richmond.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Situated on the River Swale, this beautiful little market town
0:24:19 > 0:24:23is dominated by the 11th century castle, a Mecca for tourists.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Time's running out now. We've only got another few hours.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Well, that's right. I'm getting into a panic situation, very apprehensive,
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I just don't know what I'm going to find here.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38Richmond has been described as the most romantic town in the North of England.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43But will our experts fall in love with anything else to make them part with their cash?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Best of luck.- And you, too.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- See you.- Bye.- Bye.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Don't worry about parking the car, guys, we'll take care of that.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55David has found his way to Harry Thompson's shop
0:24:55 > 0:24:59and immediately spies a lovely piece of Prattware.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06Oh, my God. This, basically, is a paste pot.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12And, around about sort of 1845, 1850...
0:25:13 > 0:25:16..they used to present gentlemen's hair grease ointment
0:25:16 > 0:25:18in plain, white pottery boxes.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23And then somebody suggested, if we put a coloured picture on the top,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25they'd sell more of the product.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29David's quite right. Prattware elaborate polychrome images
0:25:29 > 0:25:33were transfer-printed onto the top of hair grease and fish paste pots,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35and they're now highly collectable today.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I think this one is of Strasbourg, is it not?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- I don't know. - I think it's Strasbourg.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44So I rather like that one.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- You've got 50 on it. - Well, I know.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50But that doesn't mean it's 50, does it?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52What sort of price would it be?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Do I go up or down?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57No. You go down, you go down.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Can you do it at 20 quid for us?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Would you rob an old pensioner? - Yes.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Look how weary and tired I look like, you know.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08And, I mean, some day you'll get to be old.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Oh, I feel old today. I feel old today!
0:26:14 > 0:26:1622 Harry, please?
0:26:16 > 0:26:1823.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Or 53, I aren't bothered. 53 or 23.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- 23.- Oh.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Thank you very much. - Are you going home now?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Oh, no. No, there might be something else lurking around.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31I know. That's what's worrying me.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Not something, David, someone.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Look who's lurking at the door.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- Am I allowed to, or have you finished?- Yes, come on in.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Let me introduce you to 'Arry. - Oh right, have you finished?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Almost, yes.- Hello Harry. Well, I don't want to disturb you.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47It's all right. I just want him out.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- You got rid of him. - He's robbed me summat rotten.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Has he robbed you? That means he's bought something.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Well, if I stay up here. I'll stay out of your way. I'll just go in here.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58David, he's bought something. Bully for him.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Oh, she's not bitter, that girl.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Come on, Margie, you're in happy Harry's emporium now,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07where there really is something for everyone.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10That's quite interesting. Shelley. Collectable.
0:27:11 > 0:27:131930s.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16The price is right.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Then you've got the lustre, which is very nice. 1930s.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Not a brilliant painting in the middle.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27But purely because it's clean.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32You know, it's not amazing, but I think it would sell.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Well, you'd better not dally then cos, down the road,
0:27:36 > 0:27:39David is scenting success with a perfume bottle.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- I like that. - It is nice, that, isn't it?
0:27:44 > 0:27:47So we've got a hinge-top section there,
0:27:47 > 0:27:51with the cork, which I think has been replaced, actually.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56And then this end, which is a screw end,
0:27:56 > 0:28:00that would have been, again, you've got a cork stopper.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02And I think that would have been for smelling salts.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08I think it's the sort of thing that, if people are collecting scent bottles, and they do,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10that's quite a nice little item.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16That's got 95 on it, which is a little bit high.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19What's the very best you can do on that?
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Right, well, I'm saying I'm not going to go any lower than 65.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27That's a good drop, a really good drop. 65.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30What about £50?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32No. I'll do you 55.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Can we split the difference at 52, please?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- (Go on, then.)- 52.- 52, that's it.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46And that's why some people call him The Master.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52This is mild hysteria now because we're on the last knockings.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57What's this? This footman's quite nice, isn't it?
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- Ooh, God, it's so heavy. - Oh, aye, that's nice.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05By gum it's old, isn't it? Brass footman.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Interesting detail on the top.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I don't know enough about it but I quite like it.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16In the early 19th century, fireside stools, or footmen like this,
0:29:16 > 0:29:19were used to keep kettles and pans on.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Oh, God, we've got a floppy leg here.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26No, I don't think that's... I quite like that, but...
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Do you think I should buy this footman?
0:29:28 > 0:29:30How much is it?
0:29:30 > 0:29:3265 quid.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Right, so, if I buy that for a fiver.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39It's that pretty little Shelley bowl.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42- What would you want for the... - 50.- 50 quid.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Right, because I want to spend my money and because I'm fed up
0:29:50 > 0:29:52and it's too late now to go anywhere else, it's the end of the day.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- I'll tell you what I'll do.- Yeah.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59If you look at it all, give me 45.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00- And go.- 45.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Bless you. Harry, you're a star.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06So that's £45 for the bowl and the footman. Deal done.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Well done, happy Harry.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I'm sorry if I've tested your patience.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16You haven't tested my patience. As long as I'm taking some money, I don't care.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- Charming young ladies like you. - Young ladies. Here's another tenner.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25No, my eyesight's going.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27What a charmer! I'd get out while the going's good, Margie.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Thankfully, that's cheered her and him up.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37With the final deals done, it's time for our experts to reveal their items to each other.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39A bit like show and tell but for grown-ups.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Heads or tails?
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- Which do you want?- Heads. - Heads. You ready?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Yeah. Oh, my...
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- OK. It's tails.- It's tails.- Tails.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50- So it's my choice.- It's your choice.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52So you reveal.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Oh, dear, dear, dear.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58Ooh. Oh, very David Barby.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Oh, I like... Oh, my goodness.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- Oh!- Oh!
0:31:02 > 0:31:04And there's the coin.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06What do you think?
0:31:06 > 0:31:09My eye goes to that.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Absolutely super and in extremely good condition.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- That's my most expensive item. - Was it?
0:31:15 > 0:31:19You paid 60 to 70 pounds for it?
0:31:19 > 0:31:23I paid £52 for it and I think it has got a potential of making a profit.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Yeah, if it's right, you'll probably get just under 100 quid for it.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31If not, you're probably talking, what, 70, 75.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33- Yeah.- That looks interesting, at the back.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Oh, crikey, what's that big tankard at the back?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- It's commemorative.- Yes, but it's in appalling condition.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- Yeah.- Appalling condition.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Oh, that's lovely, isn't it?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Isn't it nice? I love anything to do with politics.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I think that's a really good piece.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51Margie's seems oddly impressed by that tired, old tankard.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Right, come on girl, let's have a look at yours.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Right, here we go. Don't laugh.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01Oh.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- Oh.- That's...
0:32:06 > 0:32:09It's not often you see David Barby lost for words.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Oh.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12Dough.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Is it a dough or is it a...
0:32:16 > 0:32:17a mixer?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- Well, I don't know, it was sold... - It's continental, isn't it?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- Yeah, it is, European. - Continental.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23And they would use it for storing vegetables.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Well, it's supposed to be a dough bowl.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- A dough bowl?- Dough bowl. - Right.- That's hard to say.
0:32:29 > 0:32:34I can see it filled with cabbage, at harvest festival,
0:32:34 > 0:32:38- with turnips and things like that. - Yeah.- I like the Imari.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Yeah, but turn it over.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45- Ah.- I just thought that could be repaired. Five pounds.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Oh, that's so cheap.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49And then there's Margie's bit of staircase.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Now, do tell me about the newel post.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- I know you're dying to tell me. - I love architectural stuff.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- Right.- You're obviously not keen, are you?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- I like this sort of thing. - No, I'm not, I'm not.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Have we done all right?- I think we've got such diverse objects.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04I think yours are more exciting than mine.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06I think you've done very well.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Marge, best of luck at the auction.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Well, they're being nice to each other's faces
0:33:12 > 0:33:15but what do they really think of each other's items?
0:33:15 > 0:33:18I think Marjory has got quite an eclectic mix there.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21The newel post, if anybody's restoring a house,
0:33:21 > 0:33:23that's an ideal piece of Victoriana.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Out of the two of us, it's level pegging.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28I think his old commemorative,
0:33:28 > 0:33:32it'll be really interesting to see what that does
0:33:32 > 0:33:34because it's so old and it's so damaged,
0:33:34 > 0:33:36that could be a disaster.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39I think I might just have the edge.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41With both our experts feeling confident,
0:33:41 > 0:33:44it's time to test their metal as they head out
0:33:44 > 0:33:46into the open road and off to auction.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49BOTH: # Wish me luck As I wave you goodbye
0:33:52 > 0:33:53Gracie Fields.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58From Alnwick, it's been an eventful first leg of the road trip
0:33:58 > 0:34:01with one final push on to the auction at Leyburn,
0:34:01 > 0:34:03in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- Moment of truth.- Can be told.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Well, all I can say, Marge, is best of luck.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14Today, our experts are doing battle at Tennants,
0:34:14 > 0:34:17one of Yorkshire's most highly regarded auction houses.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19It attracts buyers from around the world.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22But will David and Margie's items have a global appeal?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25We'll ask auctioneer Jeremy Patterson.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28I think the Victorian double scent bottle's a decent lot.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32I mean, it's small, condition's OK on it as well.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Quite desirable. I think that should sell OK.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38The newel post. Not quite sure what you actually do with that.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Who knows? But certainly quirky anyway.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Sounds to me like a bit of a mixed bag then.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47A cross between could-do-well and could-do-better.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50But have they spent their money wisely?
0:34:52 > 0:34:57David began the road trip with £200 and spent £152 on five lots,
0:34:57 > 0:34:59leaving him with £48 cash in hand.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Margie also started with £200 and also bought five lots
0:35:06 > 0:35:08but she only spent £126,
0:35:08 > 0:35:11leaving her with £74 in the kitty.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16And, as the auction gets under way, the tension is beginning to show.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21I'm hyperventilating.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25First up is David with this pretty,
0:35:25 > 0:35:28if unfashionable, little piece of Prattware.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31£50 for lot number 68. 50, 20, bid.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34£20 I am bid. 30. 30 and you're in.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Any more bidders on this? For the pot, got to sell.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Any more bidders? 40. Against you, sir.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40£40, the lady's bid.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44On my right for the last time, 40'll take it, thank you.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Well done, mate, you've got a profit.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50That's nice, isn't it?
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Very nice indeed. Not a big profit but a profit nevertheless.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- I'm always happy once we've made a start.- I know.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Don't worry, you'll make a profit on your footman.- Are you sure?
0:35:59 > 0:36:01What, even with its wobbly leg?
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Lot number 73, this 19th century footman.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07£20 to start me. Bid, 20 at the back.
0:36:07 > 0:36:1030, 40, 50, 60.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12£60 I am bid in the room.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Bid standing against you, Madam, at 60.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Going to sell this. Any more bids? Don't want you to lose it for one bid.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18£60'll take it.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Well done.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25That's 20 quid profit, Marjory.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28So, Margie takes an early lead with a profit on her first piece.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30You've made £20.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- I'm three ahead of you.- I know.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35I'm getting worried now, I'm really getting panicky.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Which is more than can be said for some in this auction room.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Wakey-wakey then, it's time for the next lot.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43David's Victorian glass scent bottle.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44- Here we go.- Isn't that lovely?
0:36:46 > 0:36:48What am I going to say, £50 to start for that, 50?
0:36:48 > 0:36:5030, bid. £30. Good scent bottle this.
0:36:50 > 0:36:5440, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57£90 back row, lady's bid.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- 100 if you wish anywhere? £90 right at the back row.- So cheap.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Don't miss it for one bid. With the lady at 90'll take it.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06I told you you'd get 80, you got 90.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- Well done.- Thank you very much.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10How much profit is that, Marjory?
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Another profit for David.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16£38, which is definitely not to be sniffed at.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Next, Margie's two pieces of porcelain.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23A bargain at nine pounds.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26£30 on the two. £20, thank you. 20 I am bid at the back.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29155. £20 the starting bid.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Any advance on this? 20. 30. 30 to the lady.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37At £30 at the back. 40 new bidder. 50. 50 on the back row against you, sir.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40£50 at the moment. Any more bids on that? Going to sell.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42All finished at 50.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43I'm coming to this room again.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I am going to give him a kiss after this. He's brilliant.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Well, what a result, eh?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55That is incredible. £41 profit.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59And that definitely puts Margie back in the game.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear. - My nerves are going.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03So are mine.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Now, can David do any better with his Staffordshire pottery figures
0:38:06 > 0:38:09and that cracked commemorative tankard?
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- He's giving it a good build-up. - ..Alnwick, Northumberland.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14£50 to start me. 50 bid, thank you, sir.
0:38:14 > 0:38:1850 straight in, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100,
0:38:18 > 0:38:20110, 120, 30, 140,
0:38:20 > 0:38:24150, 160, 170, 180, 190.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Two bid, 220, 240. 240 I am bid.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Room bid at the moment. Rare mug there.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- It is rare.- Any more bids on this? For the last time.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Back right the bid. All finished at 240.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Well done!
0:38:37 > 0:38:42Well, who would have thought that. A £218 profit on £22 of outlay.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Well done.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Flipping heck, what am I congratulating you for?
0:38:47 > 0:38:49How much was that?
0:38:53 > 0:38:55So can the auctioneer wield his magic
0:38:55 > 0:38:58with Margie's pretty £5 Shelley bowl?
0:38:59 > 0:39:01£30 for it. Good design, that one, 20.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04£10 I am bid, thank you. Lot number 217 for Shelley.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- £10 bid on this one, 20, you're in. - It's worth more than that.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09£20 I am bid on the Shelley bowl.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- 30 anywhere? 1930s example as well. - Oh, no.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15Bid's there, all finished on the gent's bid, £20.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Well, it's still a tidy profit for such little outlay.
0:39:20 > 0:39:25- This interesting newel post. - The next item could be the answer to Margie's prayers.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27But only if she can salvage a profit from it.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31I'm not sure where the rest of the staircase is.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- Have I come late?- You cheeky monkey.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36We'll see anyway. £20 for the post.
0:39:36 > 0:39:4020, tenner. £10. Thank you, sir. £10 starts me.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44£10 in the room. Shall I sell this? At 10 only.
0:39:44 > 0:39:4715 bid. £20 you're in, sir.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- 20 against, madam.- Keep going. - Don't miss it for one bid.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- All finished for the post. - Oh no.- £20'll take it.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Well done, sir. Do you want to take it now?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Thanks.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Well, he's got an absolute bargain.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Would you believe it?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04It posted a loss(!)
0:40:04 > 0:40:08But that, that is a scandal. That is worth a lot more than that.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11I admire your guts in buying it.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13All aboard for David's next lot
0:40:13 > 0:40:16and his slightly scary-looking sailor boys.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20These two charming 1930s Nora Wellings style.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24Oh, for goodness' sake, don't start whipping up enthusiasm.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Start me at 20, sir. Bid. £20 at the back.
0:40:26 > 0:40:2830, 40.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- 40. Bid's at the back now with 40. - Come on.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Take the five if you want, sir. All finished at £40.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- 40 quid, well who would've... - Any advance at 40 for the two?
0:40:36 > 0:40:39- Thank you. £40. - You can't go wrong.- £40.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Who would've thought?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43David's riding on the crest of a wave
0:40:43 > 0:40:46with his two sailor boys and that profit.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48But he's still not home and dry.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50- We've both got one lot left. - Yes.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53So, if you make a profit on your next lot,
0:40:53 > 0:40:56you've scored on every single one.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Here we are, here we are.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03David's final item is this decorative 19th century copper coal hod.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05But will it set the auction room ablaze?
0:41:05 > 0:41:09£20 bid thank you, sir. £20, got a commission bid on this.
0:41:09 > 0:41:1220. Any more bids on this? 20, 30, 40.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15On commission, it's my bid at the moment. One more, sir.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16- Come on.- 40. No buyer. My bid'll take it, then.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Any advance £40 and going?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- Commission bid.- Oh, what a shame.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23You've not swept the boards.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26I've lost.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29No need to be a drama queen, David. It's only £5.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32You've lost a fiver. I'm sorry for your loss.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Margie may yet have the last laugh.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41She's still got her European dough bowl,
0:41:41 > 0:41:46but will it rise to the occasion and give her the bread she needs to win?
0:41:48 > 0:41:51£20 for a good piece of country furniture there.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54£20 surely. Bid, thank you, sir. 20 starting bid.
0:41:54 > 0:41:59- 20, 30. 30 front row, 40, 50. - You're in profit.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- Frank, one more, sir. £50 I am bid. - It's not enough.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04- 60 anywhere for that large bowl? - You're in profit.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07- You are in profit. - Don't be condescending.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Aw.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- That's disappointing again. - No it's not. It's a profit.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Sadly, Margie's dough bowl hasn't risen enough.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17David Barby has triumphed.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19- Well, congratulations, do you want to shake my hand?- Yes.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25- Well done on your first day's success.- Don't worry about that newel post.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Margie started the show with £200 and, after auction costs,
0:42:30 > 0:42:33has increased her spending power to £238.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36David also started with 200
0:42:36 > 0:42:40and, with some canny buys, he's more than doubled his cash.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42So, after auction costs,
0:42:42 > 0:42:46he has an impressive £417 going into the next leg.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- Oh Margie, wasn't that good? I really, really enjoyed that. - It certainly was.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- Excuse me.- What? - I thought I was driving?
0:42:52 > 0:42:55I'm a little bit concerned in your present state.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Are you going to be in control emotionally?
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- Of course. I'm driving. - Oh, dear. Right, there we go.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Why do I always give way to women?
0:43:04 > 0:43:07Ah well, David might be in the lead
0:43:07 > 0:43:10but it looks like Margie's in charge going into the next round.
0:43:11 > 0:43:15Next time on the Antiques Road Trip, Margie pops up in Richmond.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Here I come.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22- Da-dah!- And David meets his match in Yarm.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24That's it, shabby chic.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27Not that shabby.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29Well, there's plenty of chic.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31There's plenty of cheek!
