0:00:02 > 0:00:06It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each, a classic car
0:00:06 > 0:00:10- and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.- That hurts.
0:00:11 > 0:00:18- My sap is rising. - The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22- There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.- 50 quid?
0:00:22 > 0:00:27So will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Your steering is a bit lamentable!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Today we're on the road for the final adventure
0:00:39 > 0:00:43with antiques experts James Braxton and Charles Hanson.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48And you have been, on this trip, the luckiest man.
0:00:48 > 0:00:54- You have had the Midas touch. - I have. If only I could be so lucky in life, James!
0:00:54 > 0:00:58James Braxton just can't help being charming.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03That's very kind. Thank you very much, Treasure. Er, Trevor!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08And he's terribly good at getting out of tricky situations.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13My most pressing problem now is to lever my frame out of this fella!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Oh, blimey!
0:01:16 > 0:01:19This is Charles Hanson.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22He's got a meticulous eye.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26You look at the body. It's got two good top drawers.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30And he's really rather passionate when it comes to antiques.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Quality is improving and my sap is rising.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39James is having a rotten old time at auction.
0:01:39 > 0:01:46Even though his tea caddy made some money, the losses are outnumbering the profits.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Charles, on the other hand, has made lots of cash.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56In particular, the Liberty stool and the Majolica jug.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03James hasn't set the world on fire when it comes to making an abundance of profit.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05From his original £200,
0:02:05 > 0:02:11he has a relatively piffling £296.92 jingling about in his back pocket.
0:02:15 > 0:02:21But the triumphant fourth-time winner, Charles Hanson, is seemingly unbeatable.
0:02:21 > 0:02:27From his original £200, he has a colossal £1,556.31.
0:02:31 > 0:02:37And the boys will be making their final road trip in James's adored 1952 MG.
0:02:37 > 0:02:43Only thing is, she doesn't have a roof. Not the best when the heavens descend.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Well, James, I've never ever known weather like this.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- Oh, lovely(!)- Aww! - That's lovely(!)
0:02:54 > 0:02:58James and Charles are travelling 400 miles from Dulverton, West Somerset,
0:02:58 > 0:03:02via the Isle of Wight to the county town of Truro in Cornwall.
0:03:05 > 0:03:12On today's show, first stop is the town of Liskeard and they will auction just outside of Truro.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I'm looking forward to this, despite this inclement weather.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21I must say, if you wrap up, you don't feel it, do you?
0:03:21 > 0:03:28The boys certainly haven't brought the sun with them as they arrive on a stormy day in Liskeard.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31# Stormy weather... #
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Interesting umbrella, Charles.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41The boys share their first shop of the day, Bay Tree Trading Company,
0:03:41 > 0:03:47and with all that rain it looks like they're going to need a good old rub down.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53- What weather, eh? One last time... Nice to see you. How are you? - Fine, thank you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Fifth and final.- James.- Michelle.
0:03:55 > 0:04:01Owner Andy and his partner Michelle have a shop crammed with interesting wares.
0:04:01 > 0:04:07- Best of luck.- Thanks. The last one. Make it a big one.- I'm scouring.
0:04:07 > 0:04:13James has got a lot of catching up to do and really needs to find some money-making goodies.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Cor, that's a weight, isn't it?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24So a very nice old winged nut.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28This piece of Great British design would be unscrewed
0:04:28 > 0:04:32when changing the tyre of a Jaguar XK150.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37It doesn't look terribly old inside, but it has been bashed,
0:04:37 > 0:04:42so they have used a copper hammer to loosen this off. You see where it disturbed the chrome.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46I like this fellow. It's got a fabulous weight. I like the wings.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- Sort of ears, aren't they?- Yeah. - A great Jaguar item. I like this.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Now, Michelle...what could it be?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Em, I think £10. - £10? That's very fair.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02- I'm very happy with that.- Good. - There you are. A tenner.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Faster than the speed of light, James is not hanging about today.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12Meanwhile, Charles has been searching high and low,
0:05:12 > 0:05:17but he just can't seem to find anything to buy. Stop faffing about!
0:05:17 > 0:05:24Now, down the road, James is sniffing out a bargain at the local church. Lordy!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Hello. I'm James. - Hello, James.
0:05:27 > 0:05:34I've heard on a little whisper around Liskeard that you've got a pulpit you might be selling.
0:05:34 > 0:05:40- Am I right?- You are, yes!- Oh, good. - Graham is a church warden at Liskeard Methodist Church
0:05:40 > 0:05:44and might just be able to help James with his second buy.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47What a glorious place.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- So this is the fellow?- This is it. - Can I have a good old squint?
0:05:52 > 0:05:57So this is where your man or lady stands, firing out fire and brimstone,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00making better, more worthy people.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04So you've got quite ordinary bits for the stars and the rails.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- But what a fabulous figuring on pine.- Yes, yes.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Now it's that old knotty thing, price, isn't it?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Would £30...
0:06:15 > 0:06:20..be helpful? Did you have a figure in mind?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- Graham?- The figure I had in mind was £50.- £50?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Could we meet in the middle?
0:06:28 > 0:06:34- I'm sure we could. - £40? I'm very happy to give you £40. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:06:34 > 0:06:41I like your enterprise, James, but will your divine inspiration prove to be fruitful?
0:06:41 > 0:06:47Charles, on the other hand, has travelled 13 miles to the Cornish town of Bodmin.
0:06:47 > 0:06:53Charles is meeting with Chris Wilkes to find out about the grisly Bodmin jail.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Hello, sir.- Good afternoon, sir. - Bodmin jail.- Yes, it is.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Can I come in?- You may. You're not leaving in a hurry.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Oh, dear. This might be a bit scary for Charles.
0:07:09 > 0:07:16The prison was built in the late 18th-century and was in use until 1927.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22During WWI, some of Britain's priceless national treasures were given safe haven here,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25including the Crown Jewels and the Domesday Book.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33Bodmin jail was a milestone in prison design and was the first in Britain
0:07:33 > 0:07:37to hold inmates in separate cells, rather than communal areas.
0:07:37 > 0:07:43Isolation areas would hold the more dangerous and threatening prisoners, like Charles.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Charles takes a wander round this dark, forbidding institution.
0:07:47 > 0:07:53As we walk through here, I can see on the left-hand side for a big man there are very big doorways.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57On the right-hand side they're slim. Is there a reason?
0:07:57 > 0:08:04Yes. This was the reception landing and the first cells down this side were the punishment cells.
0:08:04 > 0:08:10Hence a big doorway. If you were a non-compliant prisoner, who needed escorted in or dragged out,
0:08:10 > 0:08:15- there was sufficient room for two burly warders.- OK, got you.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20They'd get underneath to wheel you in or out. If you were compliant,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23a standard size cell door. And you behaved yourself.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28After a period on this floor, you'd go up to a daylight landing
0:08:28 > 0:08:32where you were afforded a few extra privileges.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37- OK...- Yeah.- Chris, it wasn't me! It wasn't me, Chris!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40GATE SLAMS Oh, yes, it was!
0:08:40 > 0:08:44So we're now in a Bodmin prison cell.
0:08:44 > 0:08:50I don't feel very comfortable. Tell me what kind of crime must I have committed
0:08:50 > 0:08:54to justify coming in to Bodmin prison in the late 18th century?
0:08:54 > 0:09:00- Well, you could have done anything. - Really?- If you had stolen your neighbour's sheep,
0:09:00 > 0:09:05if you'd set fire to a mow of corn, you'd probably end up hanged.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Petty theft. Fairly minor crime.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- But this is a very clever prison. - It's got a window.
0:09:12 > 0:09:19- It's got central heating and air conditioning to every cell. - I can't see a radiator anywhere.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22You've got hot air. Hot air vents up here.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27So warm air would come in, as it cools, it drops and comes down to the floor.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- You can see a vent down there.- Yes. - It was sucked out through tubes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37But if you look here, pins on either side where you slung your hammock.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42- Really?- Yeah.- So these are the original...- Hammock-hanging pins.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Cast-iron hammock-hanging pins.
0:09:45 > 0:09:51- Where's my wash basin?- I'll break the news to you. You might have got one bath every three months.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Really?- Yes.- No.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Now you had a jug of water and a small tin bowl.- Yeah.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00That's your lot.
0:10:00 > 0:10:07Between 1735 and 1909 there were 60 executions in Bodmin.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13Steal a sheep or some grain in Cornwall and the hangman's noose could indeed seal your fate.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18Bleurgh! And the last to be hanged was a 24-year-old, William Hampton,
0:10:18 > 0:10:22found guilty of strangling his girlfriend.
0:10:24 > 0:10:30Thankfully, Charles has been released. I should run while you can, boy!
0:10:30 > 0:10:36Meanwhile, James is still hunting for a bargain and is travelling to the town of St Columb Major.
0:10:36 > 0:10:44The town features several times in the 1961 novel Castle Dor by Daphne du Maurier.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51It's still tipping it down, but nothing will stop James in his quest for finding antiques.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56He's visiting Stiltskin and Walrus. Great name! Owned by Janet.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- Oh, hello!- Hello.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- Hello. James.- Janet. - Nice to meet you, Janet.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16What are these things saying, "On war service"?
0:11:16 > 0:11:22- They're lovely.- I haven't come across those.- They're WWI and they were given to people
0:11:22 > 0:11:25who hadn't volunteered and weren't at the front.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29So somebody couldn't accost them in the street and call them cowards.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34- Oh, I see. To stop the white feather business.- Exactly, yeah.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39During WWI, white feathers were given to men who were thought to be cowardly
0:11:39 > 0:11:45and shirking their war duties. The badges served to protect those exempt from military service
0:11:45 > 0:11:51- and soldiers wearing civilian clothes.- So this is 1915.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55And I understood that after a while there weren't so many available
0:11:55 > 0:12:00because people were conscripted after a certain date into WWI.
0:12:00 > 0:12:06I see. Interestingly, it was very much everybody was volunteering, bands of brothers,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09going to volunteer, weren't they?
0:12:09 > 0:12:15- You can't decide which one you like best, can you?- I wouldn't mind those two.- And leave me that one.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Together the badges are priced at £30.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- Could you do them for 24? - I could do them for 25.
0:12:23 > 0:12:2425.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Janet, I'll have them for 25. - OK, deal.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33And after a busy day of shopping, James, it's time to turn in.
0:12:33 > 0:12:39Looks like the weather may be changing for the better, thank goodness. Night night.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48It's the beginning of a new day and thank goodness it's not raining.
0:12:48 > 0:12:54The boys are looking forward to finding some lovely antique baubles.
0:12:54 > 0:13:00- So final day, four, five items? How many?- Oh, James. I want to buy five items.
0:13:00 > 0:13:06If ever there's a day for a man of distinction to pull it out the bag, today is that day.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12So far, James has spent £75 on three lots.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15The Jaguar wheel nut, the pulpit and the World War One badges,
0:13:15 > 0:13:20leaving a sum of £221.92 for the day ahead.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27And Charles once again hasn't spent a single penny!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30He's swimming in riches, though,
0:13:30 > 0:13:36with a huge £1,556.31 to spend.
0:13:39 > 0:13:45The boys have travelled to the port town of Falmouth on the south coast of Cornwall.
0:13:47 > 0:13:53Falmouth is famous for its harbour and is well-known for being the start or finish point
0:13:53 > 0:13:55of round the world voyages.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- Whereabouts are we now? - We're still in Falmouth.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04And we will still be in Falmouth because you're in second gear.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11And James looks as though he's regretting handing over the car keys to Charles.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- Nice...nice. - Sorry! Hold on!
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Sorry, James! Sorry about that.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Charles! He certainly needs to get cracking. He hasn't bought a thing.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27Let's hope Roadshow Antiques can help him in his pursuit.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- Good morning, sir. How are you? - I'm very well.- Good to see you.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Hi. Chris.- My name's Charles.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38- Could you guide me in a direction? - Have a look over in the window.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43- You've got a fire screen there which I'm pretty sure is Newlyn. - Isn't that wonderful?
0:14:43 > 0:14:48This, I suppose, almost captures the essence of Newlyn, doesn't it?
0:14:48 > 0:14:54Newlyn copper was a type of Arts and Crafts copperware originating in Newlyn, Cornwall.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58It was produced in the late 19th century by unemployed fishermen.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03- Look around, make your decision. - OK, thanks.- I can do a little bit.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I'll think about it. Thanks, Chris.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I'm feeling a warm glow.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Chris...- Yep?
0:15:16 > 0:15:21This...this stick in here. Is that local, the swagger stick?
0:15:21 > 0:15:26Yeah, Devon and Cornwall Light Infantry. Not in great condition, but would sell well.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28It is quite beaten
0:15:28 > 0:15:34and this binding on the swagger stick, is that to reinforce it?
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- Has it been split?- Broken in half at some point, I would think.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41If I bought that, Chris, in its condition,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44what would be the best price?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- I've got £35 on it. What about 25?- £25.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Yeah, that's food for thought, Chris. That could be an object.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Mental note.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57This pill box in here.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Oh, that's sweet. Look at that.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04This is a young lady waving her sailor goodbye.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07And it's titled Hope.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09It's circa 1790.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11And it's £90.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13That's quite good.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19And the Delft bowl I like as well.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Completely knackered.- Yeah. - It's going to fall apart.- Is it?
0:16:22 > 0:16:27- Although it was been stitched. - Can I have a quick look?
0:16:27 > 0:16:35This is Delft ware with a tin glaze over an earthenware body. Made in Liverpool around 1750.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39At the birth, the evolution of our porcelain industry. How much, Chris?
0:16:39 > 0:16:44It's so tired, it's so worn out, Chris. What's the best price?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- You know...- What have I got on there? 85 quid.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Seems like nothing. Does that say 85?- It says 55.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Oh, it says 55! Good try.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- If you're putting together a package...- It could be expensive.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- ..perhaps we'll kind of think about it then.- I like your style.
0:17:05 > 0:17:12- I like the swagger stick and the bowl. I also like very much the pill box over here.- Mm-hm.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17Is there any other...metalware, in terms of Newlyn School?
0:17:17 > 0:17:23- Copper?- There's a piece of Hale copper in there...- That one? - ..which was a contemporary.
0:17:23 > 0:17:30- And what's that?- Hale copper.- Yes. - It's really a pipe rack, but people do put large spoons in them.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35That's quite sweet. We're going back to 1905, 1910.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39More importantly, it's in the Arts and Crafts style.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Chris, it's priced at £55.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- I think 40 would be the best.- OK.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48OK. OK, Chris. What I'll do is I'd like to take a mental note of this
0:17:48 > 0:17:52and, if I may, put it on my table of desire.
0:17:52 > 0:17:58He's going to have a good go and get a combined deal with the pill box, spoon rack
0:17:58 > 0:18:00and the swagger stick.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- So all three together, Chris, would be how much?- 110.- 110.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- Would you do 60...- Mm-hm.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11..25 and 15?
0:18:12 > 0:18:18Making it up to £100, which is £10 off?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21£10 off my final price, you mean?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- Yeah.- No.- No?- No.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27OK. See, £100 sounds very nice.
0:18:27 > 0:18:33- Shall I roll my sleeves up? We could wrestle on the pavement for the tenner.- Arm wrestle?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- Yeah. You're a young man. - Are you being serious?- Yes. Why not?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Do your best, Charles. This is for the Road Trip.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- OK, Chris.- Away you go.- Go!
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Are you trying?
0:18:46 > 0:18:51I am actually trying, yes. I have weakened over the years.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55He's a big man, Charles.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Ungh!
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Steady.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Yes!
0:19:00 > 0:19:05- There we are.- Are you sure? - Yes.- It's a deal! Fantastic, Chris!
0:19:05 > 0:19:11Well done, Charles! Interesting haggling technique. Just when you think he's all shopped out...
0:19:11 > 0:19:16If I said to you as a final attempt, what would be the absolute best price
0:19:16 > 0:19:23- on the copper...screen, which we believe is Newlyn... - Mm-hm.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- ..and the Delft bowl? - Together - 120 quid. Now that's... - That's the death.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- The absolute death.- Yeah. OK.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33110?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39What don't you understand about, "this is the death"?
0:19:39 > 0:19:45- 120 is the death?- You're a lovely chap, but 120 is the death. I'm being really generous.- £120.
0:19:45 > 0:19:51Well, I've got to hand it to you. That was an epic tour de force of buying power.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56James is next to have a shot in Roadshow Antiques.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01After the marathon buy from Charles, will there be anything left?
0:20:01 > 0:20:07Now the reason I like mirrors, Chris, is because my wife likes them
0:20:07 > 0:20:12and I just spotted this fellow. You would immediately call that Regency
0:20:12 > 0:20:16or, at a push, William IV, who only reigned for a nano-second of time,
0:20:16 > 0:20:20but in antique terms he could have reigned for 60 years!
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- Indeed. Mahogany. - Mahogany.- Split turnings.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- And do you think that was once gilded?- Gilded, I think.
0:20:29 > 0:20:35- Somebody's rubbed it away. - What price have I got on it? - You've got 58 on it, Chris.
0:20:35 > 0:20:41- 40 would be the death. - 40. That's very kind of you. I'll definitely buy that, but...
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- I only want that to be the start. - OK.- Look at that.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Isn't that funny?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50A monthly medal competition
0:20:50 > 0:20:57so they were producing and engraving pewter tankards to give monthly.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00And it's made by Liberty's.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Isn't that amazing?
0:21:02 > 0:21:08- And the nice thing about this is it's got a lovely shape. It's well-designed.- It is.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14- And you've got another one. - The original price on the tankards is £28 each.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Em, now what could you do the two for me, Chris?
0:21:18 > 0:21:24- 40 the pair.- 40 the pair? - That's what I would have said if you hadn't told me they're Liberty's.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Probably 140 the pair now!
0:21:26 > 0:21:31- I'll be good. 40 quid. - That's really kind. I'll take them.
0:21:31 > 0:21:37£40 for the pair of tankards and £40 for the mirror. Good going, James.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Shopping now over, James is motoring 35 miles south to Porthcurno in Penzance.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53James is paying a visit to Porthcurno Telegraph Museum
0:21:53 > 0:21:58which formerly housed a very important hub of international communication.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04In the 19th century, the telegraph took the world by storm.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10For the first time, a message could be sent instantly, rather than being delivered by letter,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14which revolutionised the speed of world communications.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18And this is where it all started.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23James is meeting with John Packer, a former employee of the station.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27This looks like a military establishment from the outside.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31It's pseudo-military. It was in Worl War Two that the tunnels were dug
0:22:31 > 0:22:34to protect a very important communications centre.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38This is all about early communications, telegraph?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Well, the first communications here was in 1870
0:22:42 > 0:22:46when a cable under the sea was laid from here to Bombay.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50It was India's first direct electrical communication with the mother country.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Well, show me the way.
0:22:53 > 0:22:59With the advent of World War Two, the station had become so important, it had to be protected.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04Secret tunnels were dug by Cornish miners to house an underground building
0:23:04 > 0:23:06and the entire telegraph operations.
0:23:07 > 0:23:14These bomb and gas-proof tunnels protected 14 secure cables out of the UK to its allies.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20The museum has some of the equipment used in the Victorian era
0:23:20 > 0:23:24which displays the technology from which today's computer age grew.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27So this is where it all starts, is it?
0:23:27 > 0:23:31This is the digital age, Victorian-style.
0:23:31 > 0:23:37This is sending in binary code, left and right, left and right, by hand.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- Yeah.- Left, left, right, left, left, right, left, left, right...
0:23:41 > 0:23:47Noughts and ones, positives and negatives, binary code, computer code. This is where it all started.
0:23:47 > 0:23:54- It all started.- The Victorian internet.- So the alphabet is simplified into this binary code?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- Precisely.- This is what you were sending through those mighty cables?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01This is the earliest form of sending by hand
0:24:01 > 0:24:06and at the receiving end, the signals were received on paper tape as a squiggly line.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Above and below, above and below a central line,
0:24:09 > 0:24:14- dot and dash, mark and space, noughts and ones.- Right.
0:24:14 > 0:24:20Basically, a telegraph transmits and receives messages over long distances.
0:24:20 > 0:24:26The message would be sent by Morse code and the end message was called a telegram.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30So this is the next stage, is it?
0:24:30 > 0:24:36We've moved on now until the late 1920s and now, instead of sending by hand,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- we tap away on a keyboard...- Right.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42..and produce holes in paper tape.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47- This is our binary code. - That's a binary code. - Above and below the centre line.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50We can place that in an auto-transmitter.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55Lovely mechanical object, isn't it? So that's reading it. Isn't that great?
0:24:55 > 0:25:01- This is now reading the tape and sending it at a speed faster than I could do it by hand.- Yeah.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06The ever-improving advances in communication technology
0:25:06 > 0:25:09put Porthcurno at the centre of the war effort.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13So you're taking me back to World War Two here, John?
0:25:13 > 0:25:17World War Two equipment and we're in the workshop where it was maintained
0:25:17 > 0:25:23And this building and communication centre was very important in the Second World War, wasn't it?
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- It was of vital importance. - Vital importance.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32We've said it was the gateway to the world. It was the gateway to the world in World War Two.
0:25:32 > 0:25:38- For secure communication. - With our allies, America, at the other side of the pond?
0:25:38 > 0:25:43And as we had more cables than the enemy, we had a better network.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47We had a more elaborate system of communicating around the world
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- in a manner that could not be intercepted.- Right.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54Once so vital to the world, the telegraph became a museum piece,
0:25:54 > 0:25:58but it's the ancestor of modern communications.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02John, it's been really fascinating. Thank you.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Tour over, James needs to rendez-vous with young Charles
0:26:05 > 0:26:09and have a gander at one another's treasures.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11What on earth have you bought?
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- I don't know whether I'm overwhelmed or underwhelmed.- Really?
0:26:15 > 0:26:20And tell me, what is the... What is the stick here?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- James...- What is that? Is that one of those canes?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26James, all week I've walked with a swagger.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31- OK? Exactly, a swagger stick.- I like your swagger stick.- Thanks, buddy.
0:26:31 > 0:26:37What's local to maybe this neck of the woods, apart from St Ives and the art centre there,
0:26:37 > 0:26:43- you've also got Newlyn, so I've gone for a cracker over there, but, James...- Bit of copper.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- How much? - I think you paid...£50 for it.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I paid £100.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54What is the bowl? Show me the bowl.
0:26:54 > 0:27:01James, the bowl is tired, it's worn out, but it goes back to around 1750.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04It's a Liverpool Delft bowl.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06How much?
0:27:06 > 0:27:11- I think you bought it cheaply. I'd say £30.- £20.- Well done.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15It's your turn now, James. Show Charles what you've got.
0:27:15 > 0:27:21- Here are my items.- Very good. - All of them. One was just too big and heavy and everything.
0:27:21 > 0:27:27And by the wonders of modern technology, James has brought a photo of the pulpit.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- I like it.- You like it?
0:27:29 > 0:27:33It looks to be in that neo-Gothic, High Victorian manner.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38- It's got very attractive little carpet panels. - So you found it purely by chance?
0:27:38 > 0:27:44I heard a whisper that this chap was keen to get rid of it, so I thought it was worth a visit.
0:27:44 > 0:27:50I bought a rostrum not too dissimilar and it cost me about £300.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- £40.- It wasn't?- £40.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- £40?- £40.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Well, maybe our luck's turning.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04- I saw these on the shelf in Falmouth and I just liked the design of it.- Yes.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09- Liberty's.- Iconic name. They're great to handle. They feel great.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- Cheers, cheers.- Cheers.- How much?
0:28:11 > 0:28:15- £40 for the two.- That's very cheap. That's very good.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18I think they're probably worth at auction between 50 and 80.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21But what about the mirror?
0:28:21 > 0:28:26- It is a very nice mirror. - It's a nice mirror, the sort of mirror you can put anywhere.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28It'll add tone to your loo, won't it?
0:28:28 > 0:28:33I think you've gone bold and big. I reckon you paid £55.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- 40.- Good. Good buy. Yeah.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41- Anyway, Charles, it's been great. - I'm very excited.- Come on.- Good man. - Well done.- Well done.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44But what do they really think?
0:28:44 > 0:28:47He is unquantifiable, that man.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52Those little items will make a fortune at auction. I don't like them.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57He suggests to me that James will walk the plank. Yeah, I agree.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02It's been an ambitious finale with the boys battling it out
0:29:02 > 0:29:04from Liskeard via Bodmin,
0:29:04 > 0:29:06St Columb Major, Falmouth,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Porthcurno and finally to Truro in Cornwall.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15As our boys arrive in the village of Ladock in Truro,
0:29:15 > 0:29:19it's time to find out who will be this week's Road Trip winner.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Will Charles make it five in a row and be crowned reigning champion?
0:29:24 > 0:29:30Philip Buddell Auctions has been established in Cornwall for the last 30 years.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Auctioneer and proprietor Philip offers up some thoughts.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41If I'd been in their shoes, I don't think I would have purchased a church pulpit.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45I think that's really stretching my ability just a little far today.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51James Braxton started today with £296.92
0:29:51 > 0:29:54and spent £155 on five auction lots.
0:29:57 > 0:30:03Charles Hanson began with £1,556.31
0:30:03 > 0:30:06and spent £220 on five lots.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Quiet, please. The auction is about to begin.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- This is it.- The final one.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20First up, it's James's William IV mahogany mirror.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23£10? 10, I'm bid. At 10. 12 at the back. At 12.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27If they turned it round the right way, it might make more.
0:30:27 > 0:30:3118. £20. £20, I'm bid. At 20. And 2. And 4.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35And 6. At 26, I have. £28 in front. At 28. 30 at the back.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39At £30. At 30, I'm bid. And 2. £32. Bidding in front at 32.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Well done.- It's moving, it's moving.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47- The bidding's at 36. 38 now...- Go on son.- Oh, wow!- At 40, I'm bid. At 40.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49At £40. 42 or not? At £40.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54All done at 40? 2 or not? He's going to lose money if we're not careful.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56At 40 and selling...
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- Well done. Profit?- No. - Profit, is it...?
0:30:59 > 0:31:02The atmosphere here is electric.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Pity it didn't fetch a profit though.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10It's James again with the stylish pair of Liberty tankards.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14What are you going to say on those? £10 on the pair of tankards?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- It must be worth a tenner.- 10? - 5? 5, I'm bid.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19£5 on the two. 6.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22At 6, I'm bid... 7. At 7. And £8.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Not quite the units I was hoping for!
0:31:25 > 0:31:27At 10, I'm bid. 12. At 12. 14.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29At £14. £14. 16?
0:31:29 > 0:31:34At £14. £16. On the right at 16. 18. At 18, I have. At 18.
0:31:34 > 0:31:3720, I'm bid. At 20. At £20, I have. At 20.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- 22.- That pays for one!- They're worth an awful lot more than that.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43At £22.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46The hammer's up. All done for 22 and I sell...
0:31:46 > 0:31:48£22.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Unexpected result there, James.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54The only way is up... Surely!
0:31:54 > 0:31:56We were both slightly out on that one.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00It's now Charles's turn with the swagger stick next.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05- What are you going to say on that? Start me at £20?- 2.
0:32:05 > 0:32:0722?
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Two quid!
0:32:09 > 0:32:12At 2, I'm bid. At £2. 2, I have. 4.
0:32:12 > 0:32:156. 8. At 8. 10.
0:32:15 > 0:32:1712. At 12, I'm bid. At 12. 14.
0:32:17 > 0:32:2016. 18...
0:32:20 > 0:32:22History. Absolutely.
0:32:22 > 0:32:2422. 24. At 24.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Well done. The Midas touch.
0:32:27 > 0:32:3128. At 28, I have. At £28. £28. Bidding to my right.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- Charles is getting excited. - I'll sit down. Sorry.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38At £30. 32. 34. 34, I have. At £34. 36.
0:32:38 > 0:32:4136. Bidding on the far right. 38 bidding here.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44CLOCK CHIMES £38. £38. At 38, I'm bid.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Bidding here at 38. 40. At 40, I'm bid.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49And 2. 42. At £42.
0:32:49 > 0:32:5244 or not? At 42. Are you all done? You'll regret it later.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55CLOCK STILL CHIMING Oh, shut up, clock!
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- At £42. 44 or not?- Well done.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- At 42.- History. Well done, sir.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Thank God for a bit of quiet! At £42
0:33:04 > 0:33:08All done? I sell at 42...
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Bingo, bingo! That's great.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15Charles turns the tide of fortune with a good profit.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20And it's Charles's turn again with the cracked Delft bowl.
0:33:20 > 0:33:2320? 10?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26It must be worth 10. 10, I'm bid. At 10. 12. 14.
0:33:26 > 0:33:2916. At 16. 18. 20.
0:33:29 > 0:33:3122. 24.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33At £24, I'm bid. At 24. 26.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- 28. 30.- I'm in profit.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- £32.- Keep going, keep going. - 34 at the back.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43At £34. £36. 36. 38. 38, I'm bid. At £38.
0:33:43 > 0:33:4640 on the right. At £40, I'm bid. 42
0:33:46 > 0:33:49At 42. 44. At 44. 44, I have. This is cheap.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- 46. At 46...- It isn't cheap!
0:33:53 > 0:33:56At £48. 50. At £50. 55.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59At £55. £55. 55... 60.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- At £60, I'm bid. And 5. At 65, bidding here at 65.- Still cheap!
0:34:03 > 0:34:07I sell at £65...
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Well done.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Profit number two for Charles, a good speculative buy there.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Can you make it three in a row, Charles?
0:34:17 > 0:34:19It's the copper spoon rack next.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22A former pipe rack, but probably now a spoon rack.
0:34:22 > 0:34:28Or it might even take one of these. Can you try one of these out?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- Oh, here we are, a bit of theatre. - Egg rack. Oh, good idea!
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Yes, it does.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- Perfect.- It's an egg rack.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39It's gone from a pipe to spoon and now an egg rack.
