0:00:01 > 0:00:03It's the nation's favourite antiques experts
0:00:03 > 0:00:06with £200 each, a classic car,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10It hurts!
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Is it the right way up?
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 > 0:00:23I look like the mad hatter!
0:00:23 > 0:00:25So will it be the high road to glory
0:00:25 > 0:00:27or slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:30I'm only in this programme to be Anita Manning's chauffeur!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40It's the start of a brand-new week
0:00:40 > 0:00:43and we're with Anita Manning and Philip Serrell
0:00:43 > 0:00:46in a '65 sky-blue Sunbeam Alpine.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I love it because it goes with my boots.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Is that the way the week's going to go?
0:00:54 > 0:00:58There are times in your life when you wish you'd got a bloke as your partner!
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Phil is an auctioneer from Worcester whose gruff exterior
0:01:02 > 0:01:05conceals the heart of a true romantic.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Does that give me a certain look?
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Phil, I love you because you're daft and dangerous!
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Anita is also an auctioneer and even though she hails from Glasgow,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17the two do have something else in common.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20This is going to surprise the nation here,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- but you and I are both ex P.E teachers!- That's right!
0:01:24 > 0:01:28I specialised in dance, not rugby!
0:01:28 > 0:01:33- Did you do the Bump, or whatever it was?- The Bump?- Wasn't that a dance craze?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Come on, Anita. Who could forget the Bump?
0:01:36 > 0:01:41This week's Road Trip starts in Ford, in the far north of England,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44and ventures into Scotland before winding its way southwards
0:01:44 > 0:01:47and concluding in Yorkshire at Harrogate.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51The first leg kicks off in Northumberland at Ford
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and heads over the border to an auction in Edinburgh.
0:01:54 > 0:02:00- Edinburgh is a completely different thing from Glasgow.- Is it?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Edinburgh is more traditional.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05So why am I giving you all these hints?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Cos you're my mate. You're trying to help me.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11The sleepy village of Ford
0:02:11 > 0:02:14takes its name from a crossing of the River Till
0:02:14 > 0:02:18which in Anglo-Saxon times was apparently popular with nuns and monks
0:02:18 > 0:02:23travelling between the holy places of Iona and Lindisfarne.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25It's nothing like so busy today, though.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Once a humble dairy, this place is now THE destination
0:02:38 > 0:02:42for those seeking the unusual, the eclectic and the bizarre.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45You'll find just about anything here.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49I suppose these would have been the - what do you call them? -
0:02:49 > 0:02:51the pens that the cows are kept in.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Do they keep cows in a dairy?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Have you ever seen an actual farm, Anita?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Bread sauce! Bread sauce!
0:02:59 > 0:03:01He doesn't like me at all.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05That is so bad that it's nearly good!
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Well, our two are certainly getting into the spirit of the place.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13That is some sort of...
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Well...- Bidet.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18It's got all the adjustments.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20You've got a spray, you've got a jet.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22You've got...
0:03:22 > 0:03:25You've got everything you could require behind you!
0:03:25 > 0:03:29It's a fantastic thing. Thankfully, it's out of my budget
0:03:29 > 0:03:31because I could end up buying something like that.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Ah, well, it's nice to know even Phil has his limits.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38What's Anita spotted?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I'm quite interested in these prints.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46They are the fashion plates of the 1860s.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51They show us the type of dress that women wore at that time.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54It's a very sort of girlie thing to buy
0:03:54 > 0:03:58and I know that Phil will hate them and think I'm totally mad.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00They're only £9.50.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I think it's £9.50 for one, so it's pretty cheap.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Time to consult Lynne.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Is it 9.50 for the pair?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Nice try, Anita!- 9.50 each.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16- They're 9.50 each.- But I could do the two for 15.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Could you do them for 12? Could you come to 12 on them?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Why not?
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- Will we do it?- We'll do it. - That's lovely. Thanks again.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28So, Anita has two pictures in the bag.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Looks like Phil's getting with the farmyard idea.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I quite like these two.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36There's a sort of chicken theme recurring here.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Not exactly antiques, though, are they, Phil?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42The thing is, will my plans come home to roost? Ha-ha!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Dear me, that was a really bad "yolk"!
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Oh, please! What does Keith think?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49We've got them up at 20 each.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54Yeah. Can you do £18 for the two?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Call it 20. Then you've got one for nothing.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Go on, then. Is that the way it works?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Hark at this! But I like them, anyway.- All right.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Ah, I wonder what that was used for?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Can you tell me anything about this? - I know about that. Can you guess what it is?
0:05:09 > 0:05:14I thought it was the stretcher that they used to carry the drunks to jail on a Saturday night!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- It's a coffin carrier.- Is it a coffin carrier?- A coffin carrier.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20How macabre!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It's the type of thing you could take a chance on
0:05:23 > 0:05:25if it was, you know, a low price.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I think it's quite a low price. Let me check.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Lynne's gone off to consult Keith,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32leaving Anita to ponder.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I'd pay 20 quid for that.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Just to see the expression on Phil Serrell's face!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Could this be bought for 20 quid?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I mean, I'm playing a wild card here.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49It could go to auction and get a pound and I could lose 19 quid!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I think we could let it go at 30.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57But that would be absolutely my bottom price.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Could you come to 25? Could you come half-way down?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Well, since it's you!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Oh, thank you so much!
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Could it be a moment of madness?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Now, that is unusual.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Is Anita's strategy to beat Phil at his own game?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I'm sure he'll rise to the challenge, though!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Keith, I love all this architectural stuff.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20What's that?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22That's a ridge tile.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Ridge tile?- A hump-back ridge tile.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27What would be the point of that?
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Just, I think, for decoration. Something different on a roof.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- That's glazed stoneware.- It is.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37What on earth would you do with that? How much is that?
0:06:37 > 0:06:3820 quid.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Do you, know, I think that's cheap. But...
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- I just don't know who would buy it? - Mm.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Yeah. Who?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51And 20 quid is the absolute finito?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- I might tweak it a little bit. - Right.- I could manage a tenner for it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Is he really going to buy that?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59He is, you know!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Keith, thank you very much.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- I'll put this in the back of the car before she sees me!- Thank you. - Thank you. Bye!- Bye!
0:07:07 > 0:07:11With some, er, unusual buys on board,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Anita and Phil must now hurry up and motor
0:07:13 > 0:07:16from Ford to Berwick Upon Tweed.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24For over 400 years, this market town was fought over
0:07:24 > 0:07:27by the English and the Scots.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Although it's been English since 1482,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33a recent poll suggested that 80% of residents
0:07:33 > 0:07:35would rather be under Scottish rule.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39And there are enough ramparts around here to remind us
0:07:39 > 0:07:41that you can never say never!
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Knowing Phil, he'll probably pick up a battlement going cheap!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50This place looks like a real mixed bag.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Part antique, part charity shop. But the man from Worcester
0:07:53 > 0:07:55is quick to spot something.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Hell's bells! 250?!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Is that £2.50?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I'm joking, man. I just wanted to see your face when you saw 250!
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I thought I did the jokes round here, Tom!
0:08:11 > 0:08:14If you pull that off, there's a proper price underneath.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Really. Is that your... 40 quid?
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- Cheap, isn't it? - Is that your shop price?- Too cheap.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22It's a piece of Royal Worcester.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24G 161.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- That's the pattern number of it. - Right.
0:08:27 > 0:08:34If you look in the pattern book, it will tell you that 161 is a small, squat fluted vase
0:08:34 > 0:08:38and the G will tell you that originally it came from the Granges Factory.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42And then it's got there a little square.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45As if by magic, if you look just there,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47a square tells you that it was made in 1928.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Genius.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I think he's done this before, you know.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53So, we know how old it is.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Who's it by, that's the question.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Do you know who it's by? - There's a name on it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00James Stinton.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04The Stinton dynasty dates back as far as the early 19th century.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08For four generations, the various family members painted china
0:09:08 > 0:09:11with each specialising in particular scenes.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14For James, it was pheasants.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Their work is massively collectable.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- It's not damaged or restored in any way, is it?- No. Definitely not.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I'm sort of embarrassed to ask.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25£40, I presume, is your best price.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Yes!
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- I'm going to ask, because... - I thought it was cheap at 40.
0:09:32 > 0:09:3435.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I'm going to buy it off you.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41Let me tell you, I think that's worth between two and £300.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I think Tom might need to sit down, now.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I'm really, really pleased. Thank you very much.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48So I'm going to buy that off you. That's 35.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51You've been so kind, it's not true.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I love this, as well.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59This angling guide is by the Hardy family who started as gunsmiths
0:09:59 > 0:10:02in nearby Alnwick in 1872,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05but later made their name with fishing equipment.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I think that's fantastic. What's the best you can do on that?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Bearing in mind that you've just got a really cheap vase...
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- I have, I have, I have.- 40 quid.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Can I give you 35 quid for that?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Go on.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23You're a gentleman.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27That was quick work. I think he's rather pleased with those.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31While Phil has been snaffling the bargains of Berwick,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Anita has gone a few miles down the road to Paxton House.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Designed by John Adam in the mid-18th century,
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Paxton is one of the finest examples of neo-Palladian architecture
0:10:43 > 0:10:45in the whole of Scotland.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Anita's about to meet Martha, her guide.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Martha, I'm Anita.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Hello. Nice to see you.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58The house was built for the young laird Patrick Home
0:10:58 > 0:11:00on his return from the Grand Tour.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Paxton is packed with reminders of his adventures.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07This is a young lad, about the age of 17,
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- and he was sent off to university in Prussia.- Right.- Leipzig.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15He went to the court of Frederick the Great.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16- Right.- Of Prussia.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21I suppose that court would have been in the circuit of the Grand Tour.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Did he do the Grand Tour? - Oh, absolutely, yes.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26He eventually left the court
0:11:26 > 0:11:30and then spent another two years wandering round Europe.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Quite a nice looking guy.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Oh, yes.- I could fancy him myself!
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Young Patrick was a sort of real-life Barry Lyndon,
0:11:42 > 0:11:47catapulted from sleepy Scotland to the romance of 18th-century Europe
0:11:47 > 0:11:49and dressed to kill!
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Oh, wow!
0:11:51 > 0:11:55These are just some of the clothes that Patrick wore.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59We've got this beautiful brocade waistcoat.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01See the gold around the buttonholes
0:12:01 > 0:12:03and these really fancy buttons.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08And we've got this one. This would have had a matching blue wool coat
0:12:08 > 0:12:11with this beautiful silver embroidery.
0:12:11 > 0:12:17Of course, the 18th century was all about opulence, extravagance,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19ornamentation to the nth degree.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Shoes with buckles. - Absolutely.- Powdered hair!
0:12:22 > 0:12:28As much as you could get. You wanted to show how great, how wonderful, how rich you were.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33But for all his finery, life took a sad turn for the young man from Scotland.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37He fell madly in love with a beautiful young lady-in-waiting.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39But when her mother forbade them to be married,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Patrick was left only with her gloves.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47It seems he went on quite a spending spree to console himself, and acquired many treasures.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Including this rosewood inlaid table cabinet.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54A stunning piece of furniture!
0:12:54 > 0:12:56It's based on Hercules.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58We've got Hercules here on the cupboard door.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03All these little drawer fronts are illustrating the Labours of Hercules
0:13:03 > 0:13:05and one or two of the other Greek myths.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10At the moment, we've counted 48 drawers all the way through.
0:13:11 > 0:13:1348 drawers, eh?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15What would you need all those for?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Well, some of them are secret and concealed,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20to hold hidden treasure.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26He bought it in Italy. He bought it as we would buy an antique.
0:13:26 > 0:13:33It's made in the mid-17th century, so it was 100 years old or over when he was buying it.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35It's a wonderful, wonderful cabinet.
0:13:35 > 0:13:41I really haven't seen anything as beautiful as that for a long time.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46In the early 19th century, a brand-new East Wing was added to Paxton.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49This is the gallery that they built
0:13:49 > 0:13:51to show the paintings.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54GASPS
0:13:55 > 0:14:00You can just imagine what it was like when it was first hung with the paintings.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04This is heaven!
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Although the original paintings Patrick acquired are now dispersed,
0:14:07 > 0:14:11an important collection of late 18th- and early 19th-century paintings
0:14:11 > 0:14:14from the National Gallery of Scotland have taken their place.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17And that wonderful dome!
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Oh!
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I want a room like this!
0:14:21 > 0:14:27The house today flourishes, but Patrick's life never lived up to all that youthful promise.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Whilst he was away on his Grand Tour, his mother was horribly murdered
0:14:31 > 0:14:36and when he did marry, it was to a woman who was soon pronounced mentally unstable.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39There he is, at the end there,
0:14:39 > 0:14:40a portrait of Patrick.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43He became MP for Berwick.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46He went to live in a small rented house in London
0:14:46 > 0:14:48with just his housekeeper for company.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51And we've got a letter from one of his friends,
0:14:51 > 0:14:56and the gist of it is, "Dear Patrick, you really must try and get out more."
0:14:56 > 0:15:00So from bright young thing to poor, lonely old hermit.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02What a shame.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Oh, dear. I hope that sad note doesn't discourage our pair for long.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Because, after all, it's been a very good day.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Nighty-night!
0:15:18 > 0:15:23Next morning, the mood in the Sunbeam is best described as "mixed"!
0:15:23 > 0:15:28You're not giving me this smiley, cheery person the whole week, are you?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- I can't help it!- It's going to wear me out! Absolutely wear me out.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Please don't be this happy all the time.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- My face isn't made for miserable. - True. And mine is!
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Yesterday, Phil picked up a piece of his favourite Worcester
0:15:42 > 0:15:45with pheasants on it, as well as a couple of bowls with chicken designs
0:15:45 > 0:15:48and the Hardy's Anglers' Guide. Plus roof tile!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51He's spent exactly £100, leaving the same amount to spend today.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I've either got three things that I should make one lot,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57or three things I can make two lots
0:15:57 > 0:15:59or three things I can make three lots.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Sorry, you're yawning. Am I boring you?
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Don't know about that! Anita acquired a pair of framed fashion prints
0:16:05 > 0:16:09and an oak coffin carrier for just £37.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Why, I'll never know!
0:16:11 > 0:16:16She cannily enough, therefore, has £163 left to spend.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Quite.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Our two are now actually in Scotland
0:16:25 > 0:16:28and heading for the big auction in Edinburgh,
0:16:28 > 0:16:29starting out in the rain
0:16:29 > 0:16:31at Innerleithen...
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- Cheers, Anita.- Bye-bye, darling.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39..where Phil's about to put shopping aside and take a trip back in time.
0:16:39 > 0:16:45Behind this unassuming shop front is a unique piece of industrial heritage.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- Hi.- Hello!- I'm Philip. How are you? - I'm Jen. Nice to meet you.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54This is a fantastic building. This is Robert Smail's print works?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Yes, here in Innerleithin. - 19th century?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- 1866.- Never had much of a clear-out, did they?
0:17:00 > 0:17:04That's the lovely thing about the Smails. They never modernised, and never threw anything away.
0:17:05 > 0:17:12When, after 120 years, the family finally gave up the unequal struggle against new technology,
0:17:12 > 0:17:17the National Trust stepped in to create a working museum of printing.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- This is the type room, is it? - The case room.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24It's called that because it's where you store your cases of type.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26We've got 400 cases of type.
0:17:26 > 0:17:33- A case is a literal wooden case that contains letters of the alphabet. - Absolutely right.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38For each alphabet, you'd have two cases. The upper case, which sits on the upper part of the rack,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40that's for capital letters.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Your lower case... - It's as simple as that.- It is.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46It was really important that you put them back in the right case.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48The type, when it's cast, is cast in mirror image
0:17:48 > 0:17:51and apprentices were told to mind their p's and q's
0:17:51 > 0:17:54because a p would look like a q, and a q would look like a p.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- So you'd have to put it in the right place.- I love expressions like that.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01So your p's and q's come from... There's a q.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Yep.- I have to remember where I got this. There's a p.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08So if it looks like a p, it must be a q.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Tell you what, that is confusing!
0:18:11 > 0:18:17Downstairs in the machine room, Smails continue to print
0:18:17 > 0:18:21on ancient letter-press machines like the Arab clamshell platen,
0:18:21 > 0:18:25the Wharfedale Reliance and the original Heidelberg.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30It's like being on the wheel, isn't it?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Yes, without the strawberries.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39Miller and Richard in nearby Edinburgh were a major type foundry
0:18:39 > 0:18:41supplying type to the world.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45The archives of Smails reflects the importance of printing.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49They're a fascinating social history of the first industrial age.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52This one is quite interesting.
0:18:52 > 0:18:58It's a poster, again 1912, the coming of women's suffrage
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- to the town.- Really?
0:19:00 > 0:19:04This has been done in two sections and it would be pasted up together.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07It's a precursor to the modern billboard.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10They once printed a newspaper on these premises
0:19:10 > 0:19:14and acted as a shipping agency, booking passages to the New World.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Responsible work and the letter-press type setter
0:19:18 > 0:19:19was at the centre of it all.
0:19:19 > 0:19:25No wonder it took a seven-year apprenticeship. I wonder what Phil can learn in an hour?
0:19:25 > 0:19:30It's left to right. So you're setting it exactly the same way as you'd write it,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33but as the letters are a mirror image, you have to set them upside-down.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I'm going to do my name, right?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Wherever the little label is, it's the space below.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40That's the first mistake, then.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I was just about to be "Hilip" Serrell, was I?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Yeah.- So that goes there.- Yes.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Each letter has a little nick or groove on them.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51That helps you get them up the right way. So if you see...
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- You're a natural! Well done!- I know.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57But the only way to find out if it's right is to take a proof of it.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Apply the ink, grab some paper,
0:19:59 > 0:20:03get a hold of the mighty Eagle press
0:20:03 > 0:20:05and pull!
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Is that you, sir?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Good Lord above! It is, as well!
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- I'm going to keep that!- Excellent.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17Well done, Phil. And to cap it all, you successfully spelt your own name!
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Meanwhile, Anita has, with equal aplomb,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25made her way from Innerleithen to Melrose.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Several well-known rugby players hail from Melrose.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34It also has a fine ruined abbey.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Oh, yeah, and it welcomes careful drivers.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Steady, Anita!
0:20:40 > 0:20:42This looks like a very nice little shop.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47The sort of place where Anita might just spot something shiny.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Oh, like that, for example.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Or that.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55This is a lovely item here.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58This is a little perfect Christening gift.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03This would have been a gift for a very well-off little baby.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09And, what with the price of silver, it may be too dear for Anita today.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14But, as well as that puppy, it seems there's an elephant in this room.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Can I lift this up and have a good wee look at it?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21And another!
0:21:21 > 0:21:26I like those. It would be nice to get them at a reasonable price.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Are they the type of thing that the posh Edinburgh folk will buy?- Yes.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Yes, actually.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Are they as sophisticated as the Glasgow crowd?
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Differently!
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Good answer, Sue! - What I'm doing here is
0:21:39 > 0:21:45I'm trying to avoid coming straight out and saying, "What sort of price?"
0:21:45 > 0:21:48It could be a way out of my price, and it might not.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Um...
0:21:51 > 0:21:53£90 the pair.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Hmm. Not exactly jumbo. But worth thinking about.
0:21:56 > 0:22:02Is there anything in here that you think is a good buy, or is it all too expensive for me?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05What I like is that lovely Art Deco ring there.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09It's gorgeous, but I know that will be out of my price range.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- It's not diamonds, Anita. - It's not diamonds?- No.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14It looks the part, doesn't it?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17But it's got to be £75.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I'm selling it on behalf of a client.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22The design is lovely, isn't it?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Its sparkle, as well!
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- When she showed me, I was, "Ooh!" - "£75? Yes, I'll take it right away!"
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- So it's got to be 75? - It has to be.- Yep.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36But, if they're actually not diamonds, is it worth it?
0:22:36 > 0:22:41Now, I think I've got to have a go at these elephant tables.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I think these elephant tables might just be me!
0:22:44 > 0:22:46I'd also like to have a go at the ring.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Is there no negotiation on the ring at all?- No.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- On the tables, I was thinking round about 50. Is that...- No.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- No, they'd have to be more than 50. - Have to be more than 50?
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Can we come anywhere near that?
0:22:58 > 0:23:0065?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Is 60 out of it altogether?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- All right, 60.- Will we go to 60, uh-huh?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09That's great. That's lovely. Thank you very much.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12I'm so pleased, because I just fell in love with them.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17So, Anita's splashed £135 on the elephant tables
0:23:17 > 0:23:20and the ring with the paste diamonds.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Leaving her just enough cash for one more buy,
0:23:24 > 0:23:28motoring further north from Melrose to Danderhall.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Well, they started out in a dairy
0:23:33 > 0:23:36and now they've arrived at a couple of industrial units,
0:23:36 > 0:23:40ready to get their hands dirty and have a rummage.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48That Black Beauty, he was a dark horse!
0:23:50 > 0:23:54The fingers are looking for silver and gold. Zzzz!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57These are called Codd bottles and they're great fun.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02In the 19th century, you used to have a little wooden tool
0:24:02 > 0:24:06that you put on top and you bashed it and then it knocked that marble
0:24:06 > 0:24:08down to the bottom so you could drink out of it.
0:24:08 > 0:24:14Then kids used to smash these bottles and play marbles with the marble inside.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18They can be massively collectable,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20depending upon what it says on the front.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23This has got Manchester on it,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26which won't be a great deal of help in Edinburgh, I don't think!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Now, they might appeal.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Murano glass. Probably 1960s.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35They have bags of style.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Murano glass, famous for its colour,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39is from the Venetian island of the same name.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44The glassmakers were allegedly encouraged to move there from nearby Venice
0:24:44 > 0:24:48because of the fire hazards involved with their trade.
0:24:48 > 0:24:54One is marked up at £15, and the other is marked up at 25.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57So that's 40 quid for both of them.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Now, I don't want to pay £40 for both of them.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I haven't got £40 to spend.
0:25:04 > 0:25:11Actually, Anita, you've only got £28, so you can't afford the asking price for that, either.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14It's a little oak table.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Art Deco in style.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20There's not a lot to it,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23but the simplicity is what people like today.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27It's solid oak. It's not veneered. It's a nice little thing.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31While Anita ponders spending her last few pounds,
0:25:31 > 0:25:36cash-rich Phil is busy once more with architectural salvage.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38That's going to be a mother to move, that is!
0:25:38 > 0:25:40But what on earth is it?
0:25:46 > 0:25:49What do you reckon it was? Was it like the keystone off a bridge?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- Apparently.- Sort of set into the middle of the bridge.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Hang on, there's more junk - I mean, salvage.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01This is clearly a radiator with a bit here, I don't know if that's to put the stuff in.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Or light a fire on.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08I would think it's probably around 1900. It's cast iron.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10May have had pipes coming out of here originally.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I really, really don't know.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15So what do you think is more Serrell?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19A radiator that might be for warming your feet, or part of a bridge?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Now, that's a real poser!
0:26:21 > 0:26:26But while Phil wrestles with metal, Anita's moved on to the bargaining stage.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28It's lovely. It's a wee gem.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30You're looking in the region of £18?
0:26:30 > 0:26:35- That would be too little for me. - Does it come anywhere near that?
0:26:35 > 0:26:41- It would have to be around 25. - Around 25?- Couldn't be any less than 25.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45What about on the glass?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47If I wanted to go on the glass?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I could do the two for 30.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Could you come to 25 on the two glasses?
0:26:52 > 0:26:5527 is the best on them.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00- I've got 28 that I can spend.- Right.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03But I want to keep a couple of quid so that I don't...
0:27:05 > 0:27:09..spend everything. So at least I can carry two pounds on
0:27:09 > 0:27:12to the next thing! Know what I mean? I know it sounds daft.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Take the glass, then, for 27.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17That is so Sixties, isn't it?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Sure.- And that shape's a wee bit more unusual.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24- OK, we'll take a chance and go on it. Thank you very much.- Thanks.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27So, two pieces of glass for £27.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Just one pound left, then.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34He's definitely plumped for the bridge bit,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36but the dealer seems a bit shy!
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Can I give you 30 quid for it?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Get it out your way?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43There's another way of looking it. It can sit there forever.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45But this is a shop, not a museum!
0:27:45 > 0:27:48I'll give you 35 quid for that.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Are you going to lift it?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Well, I'll get it lifted.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- When?- Soon.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- I'll give you 35 quid.- Have it for 30 quid if you lift it today.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01OK, you're on.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Away off these premises today.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- You're on.- 40 quid if you dinnae.
0:28:07 > 0:28:0930 quid, done deal. Got a tenner?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Give us the 40 quid and I'll give you the tenner back when you lift it.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- It'll be moved today, I promise. - Then you'll get the tenner back.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- 30 quid if it's moved today.- A tenner back if you move it today.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Thank you very much.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Well done, Phil... I think!
0:28:21 > 0:28:25Plus a £10 discount if he can only shift it quick.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29My new mate here. International man of mystery. No-one knows who he is.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Ah. Phil's got some wheels already and his £10 change, too.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35I don't think I should have bought this.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38How far's he going to get with that, though? Not in the Sunbeam!
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Ah. Well done, Phil.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57If I'd have known that, I'd have bought the whole bridge!
0:28:57 > 0:29:01OK. Time to own up. What's under them covers?
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- OK, are you ready?- I'm ready.
0:29:03 > 0:29:09I'm going to peel these wonderful things off
0:29:09 > 0:29:12and let you see them.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15What the hell is that?
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- Isn't that wonderful?- No.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Go on, Phil, say something nice for a change!
0:29:22 > 0:29:26I quite like the top, but I'm not quite sure about Dumbo on the bottom! How much were they?
0:29:28 > 0:29:2960 quid.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Are you still taking those tablets?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- Now, let me guess.- OK.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- Is that your Scottish glass? - No, it's not Scottish.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41- Scandinavian?- It's Italian glass. - Somewhere in Europe.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44I was almost close! And how much were they?
0:29:44 > 0:29:47I paid £27 for those.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50And a bit of girlie stuff down here.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Yes, I wanted to buy a piece of jewellery.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- How did you buy that on the budget? - Well, I bought it for 75 quid.
0:29:56 > 0:30:02- That's nothing!- I hope so. The ring has been changed at one point.
0:30:02 > 0:30:09- May I look?- You certainly can.- Not that it'll make...- As long as you don't ask me to marry you!- No, no.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14And my last item is a Philip Serrell affair here.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16This should be interesting!
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- "Stannington Parish".- Yeah.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- It's a coffin carrier, isn't it? - It's a coffin carrier.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26I think he likes it.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29So how much have you paid overall? How much have you spent?
0:30:29 > 0:30:35I've spent £199 in total.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36I think your ring's a winner.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Is it, Phil? I don't think they're diamonds.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44I'd sort of possibly worry about those two.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47And I think that is actually quite fun.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50I paid £25. I don't think that's bad.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52But where's Stannington?
0:30:52 > 0:30:56I think it's some place in Greece!
0:30:56 > 0:31:00- That won't help you too much! Is it my moment now?- Show me!
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I'll just whip this off here.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- Ready for this last one?- Yeah.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07What is that?
0:31:07 > 0:31:10What is that? What is it?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12I was hoping you wouldn't ask that.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14It's a ridge tile.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17It suddenly dawned on me after I'd bought it...
0:31:18 > 0:31:21..one of them actually isn't a lot of use to anybody, is it?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- How much did you pay for that?- £10.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26This is my favourite bit.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Right. That scabby old book?
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Wash your mouth out, woman!
0:31:31 > 0:31:33This is Hardy's annual.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Look at all this, right.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Easy!
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Listen, hold on a minute!
0:31:40 > 0:31:431926. Isn't this just fabulous?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45£35.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46This was a little beauty.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- A little Royal Worcester vase. - Mr Worcester, Mr Worcester!
0:31:50 > 0:31:53A little Royal Worcester vase by James Stinton.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- The painting in that is exquisite, isn't it?- Yeah, he was a good man.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02I think, at auction, I'm hoping it'll do between...
0:32:02 > 0:32:07It should do a minimum, I would think, of 120, 180.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10On a good day, it's 200 to £300.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11Worcester is one of your passions.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15It's also one of your passions to buy these stupid, useless things,
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- but as a piece of sculpture and for £10...- Can I stop you for a minute?
0:32:19 > 0:32:21"Stupid useless things"?
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Come with me a second.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Save the best till last, eh?
0:32:31 > 0:32:33OK, you can turn round, now.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36What on earth is that?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39I'm not actually sure, if the truth be known.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42But I can tell you it was made in 1848!
0:32:42 > 0:32:45There's only one problem I have with it, having bought it,
0:32:45 > 0:32:50- what do you do with it?- I don't know! How much did you pay for it? - £30.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53£30?! You'd get more for that in scrap!
0:32:53 > 0:32:57And I'll tell you something else, there's a scrap yard just down there.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01I'm off there now. This is heavy!
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Now, your true thoughts?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Anita's done really well. Her real ace is that ring.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09If those are diamonds, it's surely worth £300.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14This group of things that Philip has bought is so Philip Serrell!
0:33:14 > 0:33:17A wonderful delicate piece of Worcester
0:33:17 > 0:33:22and that big cast iron bridge thingy!
0:33:22 > 0:33:26The elephants, I can't quite see those at all.
0:33:26 > 0:33:2860 quid seems like a pile of money.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33It's the day of the auction, and they haven't got far to go.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Which way's north?
0:33:37 > 0:33:38That way.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41It's that way or that way.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42Where's the sun?
0:33:42 > 0:33:44This is not... The sun?!
0:33:44 > 0:33:46We're in Scotland! What sun?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- There's no sun at all, you silly woman!- There's the sun.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52What sun? It's closing down with rain.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- It's sun.- It's grey. There's no sun anywhere!
0:33:56 > 0:33:58After starting out in Ford,
0:33:58 > 0:34:00the first part of our trip will end up in Edinburgh.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Eventually.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Ah! As capital city and heart of the Scottish Enlightenment,
0:34:07 > 0:34:09dominated by the castle,
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Edinburgh has many famous and infamous buildings.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Like the expensive parliament.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Anyone seen any salmon rising?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20I'm quite excited.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24I love the thrill of anticipation of a new auction.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- It looks like a shop as well.- Yeah.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30This is Shapes auctioneers,
0:34:30 > 0:34:35where they recently sold a pair of Sir Walter Scott's slippers for £3,000.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39So, while the Edinburgers take a peek at the treasures,
0:34:39 > 0:34:43let's hear what auctioneer Gavin Lindsay thinks of what Anita and Phil have bought.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48I think they've got a bit of a mixed bag!
0:34:48 > 0:34:52The Worcester vase by James Stinton should do quite well.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55We've had the ring under the diamond tester
0:34:55 > 0:34:57and unfortunately, it doesn't look like they're diamonds,
0:34:57 > 0:35:00so it's a nice thing for the ladies, or to buy someone a quick present.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03You could claim it's a diamond and see if you get a smile out of it!
0:35:05 > 0:35:11Anita began with £200. She's spent a total of £199 on five auction lots.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14- I need some change. - For a cup of tea?
0:35:14 > 0:35:20Phil also started out with £200. He spent £130 on five auction lots.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24A hump-backed ridge tile? Why on earth would you want a hump-backed ridge tile?
0:35:24 > 0:35:25OK.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Almost ready.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30Oh, dear! I think they call this breaking news!
0:35:30 > 0:35:33It really doesn't help when one of your own crew go and drop it!
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Ooh-ah.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38So now it's up to Gavin to estimate what it would have sold for.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42We had a 30 to 40 estimate, and the insurance will cover that.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46So I would say about £35 for something that's been damaged.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47It could be a good day for them!
0:35:47 > 0:35:50I've made 20 quid by breaking something. How cool is that?
0:35:50 > 0:35:55- Where's the sledgehammer?- I'm going to rip into everything now!
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Quick, let's get started before anything else gets bust!
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Lindsay Brown is in the rostrum.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- Ooh, I'm getting the wobbles. - I didn't know you were the nervous type.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05I'm like a coiled spring.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08First up, the Worcester vase.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Phil has high hopes for this one.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12I'll take 70. Any interest at 70?
0:36:12 > 0:36:16You do surprise me. No hands in the air.
0:36:16 > 0:36:1850? I'll take 50.
0:36:18 > 0:36:1955. 60.
0:36:19 > 0:36:2165. 70.
0:36:21 > 0:36:2575. It's our bid.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26On my right at 75.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31I'll be surprised if that's all it sells for. It's ridiculously cheap.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33£80 online.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34£80 and he's out.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36It's £80 on the net, then.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- Still for nothing.- £80.- Ouch! - Any last offers?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- Selling, then.- That's for nothing!
0:36:42 > 0:36:44We will sell at £80, if we're all out.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Selling at £80. £80.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49GROANS
0:36:49 > 0:36:52That was way short of the £200 he wanted.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54But with that and the broken tile,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57the wily old fox is off to a solid start.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02I don't mind. It's just a game. Doesn't matter who wins. Very much!
0:37:03 > 0:37:05What can his chickens do?
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Anyone interested at 20 for the two items?
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Thank you, madam, I see you.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- £20 seated.- I'm just losing money. - Looking for 25.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Selling, then, to the maiden bid at £20
0:37:15 > 0:37:18to the lady seated. Last chance.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- All out at £20.- That just cost me three quid.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Yes, a loss after commission.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27But you're still in the lead here.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30You haven't sold anything yet!
0:37:31 > 0:37:32OK. Anita's first lot.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34The Murano glass.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38£10, then? Ten. Thank you, sir.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40£10. Is there 15 going on? 15, I see you.
0:37:40 > 0:37:4320? Got to be worth it. You're getting two.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Go for it. £20. Do you want to bid?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I have 20 online, so you're too late! There you go.
0:37:48 > 0:37:5120 online, and the lady is out also.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Selling online at £20.
0:37:53 > 0:37:5525. I see you. Thank you. 25 we have.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59Seated in the middle at 25. Someone with some taste!
0:37:59 > 0:38:02There we go. 25. 25.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04It's good value for money.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06But I've still made a loss.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Now, Phil, behave yourself!
0:38:10 > 0:38:14They're all related to her. They only live up the road, all of them!
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Right. They're definitely not diamonds.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18But will it sparkle anyway?
0:38:18 > 0:38:23- Where shall we say, ladies? £20 to start?- £20? For heaven's sake!
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Any interest at ten? Ten, I see you. I have 15 here. 20.
0:38:27 > 0:38:2825 with me.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31£30. £30 seated in the room.
0:38:31 > 0:38:3435. 40. 45.
0:38:34 > 0:38:3750. 55. It's very twinkly. You won't regret it.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Last call at 55. 55 and selling, then. At 55.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- You'd have taken that, ten minutes ago, wouldn't you?- It could have been worse.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Another loss. What's next, Anita?
0:38:48 > 0:38:52So, we've got a coffin carrier!
0:38:52 > 0:38:54I love that.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- A fun thing. I hope it doesn't bury you!- Fun?
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Yeah, he just wished he'd spotted it! OK.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Shift change. Gavin's now at the helm.
0:39:02 > 0:39:0530 we have, straight in. £30.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Anyone else? 30. 35.
0:39:08 > 0:39:1040. 45. 50.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12- It's going to make 80 quid, this. - 55.
0:39:12 > 0:39:1460.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- 65.- Come on!- 70.- Good girl.
0:39:17 > 0:39:1870 still, standing.
0:39:18 > 0:39:23£70. Anybody else? £70, this unusual lot. £70.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Maybe it was the type of item that Edinburgh would love.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29It wasn't a dead loss, was it?
0:39:29 > 0:39:31No, it carried off a few pounds instead!
0:39:32 > 0:39:36Philip, we're approaching the moment of truth.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40OK, Edinburgh. Are you ready for this?
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Hope you've got a strong boot and good muscles to move this one out!
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Who'll start me off at 20?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50I'll sell this for 20. 20 we have. £20
0:39:50 > 0:39:52against you all. 20, still seated.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Last chance. 25. New bidder.
0:39:54 > 0:39:5625. 30.
0:39:57 > 0:39:5935.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01£35. I will sell then.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03£35. Any last chance?
0:40:04 > 0:40:0535.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09- I hope you brought your truss with you!- Yes!
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Have you lifted it?- Not yet! - All the best!
0:40:12 > 0:40:15So, someone actually wants the middle of a bridge!
0:40:16 > 0:40:18- It's your lot now, darling. - Shh, shh!
0:40:18 > 0:40:22Concentrate. It's in wonderful condition, isn't it?
0:40:22 > 0:40:23Wonderful condition.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27What will Phil's dog-eared book make?
0:40:27 > 0:40:29A copy of Hardy's Anglers' Guide.
0:40:29 > 0:40:3248th edition. Slightly used condition.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- Whose side are you on?- We'll start it off at £20. £20 we have.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38£20 in the room.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- £20 we have standing at the back. - Can I bid on this?
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- Anybody else?- Oh, no!
0:40:42 > 0:40:45£20. Still standing. I'm going to sell this at £20.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48On the maiden bid. First come, first served.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50That's just cost me 20 quid.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52- Oh, darling.- I've spent...
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Do you know, you're so insincere!
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Another one gets away!
0:40:57 > 0:41:02Anita's behind, though, thanks to her diamond ring without the diamonds!
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Philip, my little elephant tables are coming up now.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09I'm very, very happy to see that they're in the elephant section.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12What do you mean? How many lots are in the elephant section?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- One!- Oh, great!
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Watch out, heffalumps about!
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Not Phil's favourites, I seem to remember.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Go on, somebody! £30. Liven up your life.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27You can see someone's keen to move these! £20. Just £10 each.
0:41:27 > 0:41:28Oh, no!
0:41:28 > 0:41:32That's what we've got. £20 in the room. Come on, somebody!
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Bring the hammer down! Sell 'em!
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- 25.- Yes!
0:41:36 > 0:41:3825. 30.
0:41:38 > 0:41:3935.
0:41:39 > 0:41:4140. 45.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- Anybody else?- The woman is deranged! - Against the internet.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48In the room. At £45. Last chance. Fair warning.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53Can I just get this right? You are Glasgow's leading fine art and antique auctioneer,
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- and you've put your name to those? - Yeah, they're lovely!
0:41:56 > 0:41:58No stampede into profits, though!
0:42:00 > 0:42:02The adrenalin is beginning to surge!
0:42:02 > 0:42:06- It is.- Are you excited for me? - It's a job to contain myself!
0:42:06 > 0:42:11Finally, Anita's pictures. Bought cheaply, so there must be a profit here.
0:42:12 > 0:42:13£10?
0:42:13 > 0:42:15£10, surely?
0:42:15 > 0:42:18£10, anyone? A fiver for the two? Surely?
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Come on! £5. You can see it means something to somebody.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24£5 I have! £5. Anybody else?
0:42:24 > 0:42:26- £5.- (Ten!)- £10 I have.- Yes!
0:42:26 > 0:42:30£10 there on the right. 15, thank you. £15.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32- There's just no justice at all! - 15 I have.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34- 15. Thank you.- Yes!
0:42:34 > 0:42:36£20 here. £20. £20.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Ready? It's yours at £20.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41They were robbed!
