0:00:02 > 0:00:06It's the nation's favourite antique experts with £200 each,
0:00:06 > 0:00:11- a classic car and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques.- That hurts.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Have I got it the right way up?
0:00:15 > 0:00:19The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I look like the Mad Hatter.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:31I'm only in this programme to be Anita Manning's chauffeur.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:42 > 0:00:46This week, we're on the road in a delightful 1965 Sunbeam Alpine,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48with our equally charming co-drivers,
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Anita Manning and Phil Serrell. Groovy!
0:00:52 > 0:00:53It's a Sunday morning.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55- We should be going to church, shouldn't we, really?- Yes.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Especially you. Confess your sins.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01We haven't got long enough.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Some call them cheap and cheerful.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06See if you can guess which one's which.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Anita with the radiant smile from Glasgow is rarely downcast for long.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Yes.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17While Phil, from Midlands, is more of a glass-half-empty sort of chap.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22- Will I need my hanky box as I'm coming round with you? - No, I might need mine.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26He also has a fondness for long, flowing scarves, a bit like Isadora Duncan.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I just hope it doesn't wrap around the axle and cause the same sticky end.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Whoops!
0:01:32 > 0:01:37- Try driving with your hands on the wheel, Philip.- Nag, nag, nag, nag.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Yesterday, Anita took a leaf out of Phil's book
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and made a profit out of a coffin carrier.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46She also lost quite a bit on a shiny ring.
0:01:48 > 0:01:55She began with £200 and has £177.30 to spend today.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Phil being Phil bought a huge bit of bridge
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and made a half-decent profit on a Worcester vase.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04He also began with £200 and has a narrow lead,
0:02:04 > 0:02:08with £225.80 at his disposal.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I wonder what Anita intends to do about that.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16My plan would be to stop being a bit of Mrs Scattercash.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21This week's road trip starts out at Ford in Northumberland
0:02:21 > 0:02:24and ventures into Scotland, before winding its way southwards
0:02:24 > 0:02:28once more, concluding in Yorkshire, at Harrogate.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Our second instalment kicks off in Northumberland, at Haltwhistle,
0:02:32 > 0:02:37and makes for County Durham and an auction at Barnard Castle.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39This is Hadrian's Wall.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42He didn't actually build it
0:02:42 > 0:02:47but he was the Roman emperor who started it, back in AD 122.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Nearby, the charming village of Haltwhistle claims to be
0:02:52 > 0:02:54the geographic centre of Britain.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Although it does have rivals to that title. Speaking of rivals...
0:02:59 > 0:03:01This is the centre of Britain, Philip.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06Us Sassenachs don't realise it is almost as far from Edinburgh
0:03:06 > 0:03:10to the north of Scotland as it is from London to Edinburgh.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12That's right. So, maybe you guys sometimes forget
0:03:12 > 0:03:17- there's something north... - Of the border.- North of the border.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- There we are.- OK, darling. Well, have fun.- You take care.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I'm going to enjoy the peace and quiet.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30While Phil tootles off, Anita gets shopping.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Hello.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- I'm Anita.- Lovely to meet you! I'm Susan.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38OK, Anita.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Your first chance to shake off that scatter-cash reputation.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Perhaps Susan can recommend something she's had for a while.
0:03:46 > 0:03:53I've got a nice, quirky, very quirky I call it, 1930s duck down here.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- Oh, right. Uh-huh.- It appeals to me because I'm a bit zany.- Oh, right.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Oh, yeah. That's good.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01The Beswick Pottery in Stoke on Trent
0:04:01 > 0:04:05became famous for their animal figurines in the 1930s.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09But things really took off in 1948 when they secured
0:04:09 > 0:04:12the rights to reproduce several Beatrix Potter characters.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- The first being Jemima Puddleduck. - Look at the expression on his face!
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- I know.- He's quite coy.- He is, yes.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24No sale on the duck but can she resist something sparkly?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Are these hoops...? Let me see the hoops.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29They're gold plated, I think.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Let's have a wee look.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34I can see a wee bit of wear on them, so...
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Hmm.- Oh, she's being firm today.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41I have some gold clip earrings, just very small ones.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43They are 1970s London.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Ticket price £25.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50So, these are nine carat. And they're rather pretty.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52These have got a wee sort of period look about them.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54They are cultured pearls, not real pearls.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58So, they wouldn't have been terrifically expensive
0:04:58 > 0:05:00when they were bought.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I would like to have a go at these but I'm thinking,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05what I would like to pay...
0:05:05 > 0:05:08probably on them,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10is roundabout their gold content
0:05:10 > 0:05:14and hope that someone will pay more by the time they get to auction.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- Yes.- What I'd be looking to pay on these is about £10.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Ooh! Let me have a little look.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Mmm.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- I'll do them for 12.- You'd do them for 12. Let's go for 12 then.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- That's absolutely fine. Thank you very much.- Great.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39She's off to a solid start. Phil, meanwhile, is hoping to cope alone.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43It is awfully quiet in this car without her.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I'm sort of missing her in the same way that you miss earache.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Phil's motored just a few short miles along the A69,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53from Haltwhistle to Brampton.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55And there's that Hadrian again.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59War plans in one hand and whip in the other.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I wonder if he ever came through here.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Bonnie Prince Charlie certainly did and now, Phil Serrell,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07in his sky-blue chariot.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11This antiques centre in a fine hall, just next to the church,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13is really something.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18It's sometimes hard to tell but Phil is, I'm sure, really excited.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21This is just a wicked shop.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I haven't even got in yet.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31The auction in Barnard Castle is a general sale,
0:06:31 > 0:06:33so Phil needs to keep that in mind.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Not get too carried away and maybe take advice from Steve.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39This is your shop. Which is the best bit?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Point me in the direction of something I'm going to make a profit on.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46This is £14. The hinges are a bit loose.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49The feet are missing but it's a good £10 lot for you.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- OK. I like that. - Rosewood tea caddy. 19th century.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Isn't it a sarcophagus shape tea caddy?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59This is from the days when they locked tea up, because the servants used to pinch it, wasn't it?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- That's fantastic.- I like that. - Really? Is that a tenner?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05You can have it for ten. It just came in yesterday.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Fresh off the press.- That's bought. - Well, that paid off.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- How about a bigger box? - This is a trunk.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16It probably dates to about 1890, 1910.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19It's not a grand mahogany brass bound trunk,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22this is a real servants' trunk.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I think it's a really good thing.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I like that. You know what?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29This place, it's like waking up on Christmas morning,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32there's presents everywhere.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35He's quite giddy, isn't he? Only £10 splashed so far.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I sense he's not finished yet.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40What's the best you can do it for?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- £85.- Right.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Let me just have a wander round.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Then I'll give you a shout in a second.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Meanwhile, back in Haltwhistle, centre of Britain...
0:07:50 > 0:07:52ENGLISHMAN SINGS VERY SLOWLY
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I can't understand this language.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00That's cos, girls, you're not playing it at the right speed.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Enough, Anita. You're here to shop.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06I noticed this little set here, Susan.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Yes. The pewter. - Ah, that's more like it.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13These were doing not too badly a wee while ago
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- but they've gone off the boil a wee bit.- I know they have - a little bit.- This is quite a nice one.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- I've had it in quite a while. - You've had it a wee while?- Yeah.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25- Aha.- I can do something on the price. Yes, it's 40.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29I like this type of thing. It's Arts and Crafts.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- It has a slight medieval look about it.- It has.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37Probably 1920s, 1930s. Round about that period.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Hand-hammered with all these little dimples.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Somebody sat with a little hammer and tap, tap, tap.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46If that was coming in for sale,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I would put an estimate of...
0:08:50 > 0:08:52in the region of 20.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I know you've had it for quite a long time,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57so I was wondering if you'd maybe be able to do a deal on it.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- I'm looking to pay round about £18 for it.- Yes.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- So, we could go for that on that. - Yeah.- OK. That's wonderful.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- That's wonderful, Susan. That's absolutely terrific. - You're very welcome.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Well, there's been very little cash scattered so far today.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Anita's picked up some keen bargains for £30.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Now, has Phil made his mind up yet?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Hang about. He's spotted even more stuff.- It's a cotton-reel holder.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28A lady would have used that for her sewing.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32There's little drawer underneath for perhaps needles, pins, all that sort of thing.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- May I just have a look? - You certainly can.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I just think that's a really lovely thing. Country made thing.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40It's a fabulous little thing. Really is nice.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42So, what's the very best on that?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45It's got £70 on the ticket but you can have it for 55,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47you could have it for.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I love that! I love that! Let's have another look round.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54This could turn into an epic. Steve now says
0:09:54 > 0:09:58he has some Sheffield plate silver that Phil must see.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- If these were period, they'd be what?- Fabulous!
0:10:02 > 0:10:05They'd be 1690, 1710, 1715.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- And a few thousand pounds as well. - Yeah, lots of thousands of pounds.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- They're Walker & Hall.- Walker & Hall were like Rolls-Royce, weren't they?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Sheffield plate has thin layers of silver laid onto copper,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20enabling Sheffield manufacturers like Walker & Hall to make items
0:10:20 > 0:10:23looking like solid silver at a fraction of the cost.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25What's the best you can do on those?
0:10:25 > 0:10:30They are £75, you can have them for £65.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- I think I've made my mind up. - Smashing.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Really, Phil, are you sure?
0:10:36 > 0:10:42- That was 55, wasn't it?- That was. - That was 65, I believe those were.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- So that's 120 quid. - And that's a massive total of £10.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47You're a star. I'll pay for those now.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50You've been really, really kind to me, thank you.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55So, £130 for the candlesticks, the bobbin stand and the caddy.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02It may have taken some time, but Phil's amassed quite a pile.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Together again, Anita and Phil
0:11:05 > 0:11:08must now make their way from Brampton to Carlisle.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12The county town of Cumberland has been here
0:11:12 > 0:11:15since before the Romans, but as you might have guessed,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Hadrian did have quite an influence hereabouts.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Since those days, the town has grown quite a bit
0:11:20 > 0:11:23and become famous for lots of non-Roman things
0:11:23 > 0:11:26like mills, railways and biscuits.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Oh, yeah, and the Antiques Centre.- Hi, hello, I'm Anita.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- How lovely to be here. - Delighted to meet you.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34This place looks a bit like a film set
0:11:34 > 0:11:37designed to resemble a Victorian street.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39The only difference being that
0:11:39 > 0:11:42it's made up of stuff from a real bit of old Carlisle,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44one that was knocked down in the '80s
0:11:44 > 0:11:47to make way for a shopping centre. Oh, well, that's progress!
0:11:47 > 0:11:53I love 20th-century glass and there are lovely pieces in here.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56It's like something I bought before and didn't do very well.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Sounds like Anita needs to consult Wendy.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00She has her own place here,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03as well as looking after the shops of the other dealers.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07That's an interesting, a nice... I like that singing blue.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- The ticket price is £45.- It's a nice thing, isn't it?- It's very pretty.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Is it a wee stamp box?- Yes. - Not silver?
0:12:16 > 0:12:17No.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22It's tempting, and I love its wee... It's glass, isn't it?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Yes, it's pretty. Well, that can be very cheap.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Can that be very, very cheap? - Very, very cheap.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I mean, how very, very, the bargain of the century could this be?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- One offer, 10.- Done.- Right.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Shake on that!
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Now, there's a coincidence.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Just like Phil, she's picked up a box for a tenner.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42So, with another one in the old bag,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45it's not long before Anita finds something a little more earthy.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50This one is from 1923.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Now, 1923, the world was quite a different place
0:12:53 > 0:12:56and collectors of globes
0:12:56 > 0:12:59liked to see how the world was at that particular time.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Yup, we'd only just got the USSR back then,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04plus Sri Lanka was Ceylon
0:13:04 > 0:13:06and belonged to something called the British Empire.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- £145.- Oh, my!
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Step back, Anita, step back.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Might able to do a deal, but should I be spending all that money?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19No. That is costing the Earth!
0:13:19 > 0:13:24This caught my eye. I have a weakness for a terrestrial globe.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27How much sort of movement could there be on that?
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Well, it's got 145 on that. Normally, around about the 10% mark,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35so you're talking about probably 120.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I'm tempted, I'm tempted!
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Luckily, the dealer is having a cup of tea next door, so Anita should get an answer soon.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45How about 115?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48115, it's becoming tempting.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53Could you ask if they would sell that terrestrial globe for £80?
0:13:53 > 0:13:58Now, I will not be upset if you throw me out of the shop.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I'll have a go at it and if it doesn't happen, it doesn't matter.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Well, I hope he doesn't choke on a custard cream
0:14:04 > 0:14:07when he hears Anita's latest cheeky offer.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Right, well, he was shocked, as you imagine.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I feel terrible, I maybe shouldn't have asked.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18But he would like to do a deal, that's what it's all about.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- So, 90 is his price, 90, that's coming down a lot.- It is, it is.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24It's coming down 55.
0:14:24 > 0:14:30If I pay £90 for it, it's got to make 120-odd in auction.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33That's the way that I have to think about it.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36How about a compromise between the two,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39and I won't even ask him, I'll just tell him £85, it's a deal.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- Let's try it. Let's go for it, let's go for it.- Let's just do it.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Oh, I've done it again! I've done it again!
0:14:46 > 0:14:48And I daren't go through there either,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- because he'll probably poison my tea.- Oh, no!
0:14:52 > 0:14:54In Carlisle? Surely not!
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Phil's on his way to the outskirts
0:14:56 > 0:14:59to visit one of the city's tiniest treasures
0:14:59 > 0:15:03because tucked beneath this garden centre
0:15:03 > 0:15:06is the only collection of its kind in the UK.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09He's looking for A World In Miniature.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11It's around here somewhere...
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Ah, that's the sort of thing -
0:15:18 > 0:15:19amazing little replicas of real objects.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Unlike the candlesticks Phil's just bought,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26these are probably solid silver.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32Our Phil is about to seek Lilliput in the company of guide, Sally.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35You won't believe your eyes when I show you some of these things,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38but I think you might find this useful.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I need that for every day living, never mind coming in here.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44So these things you might recognise just a few of them on your travels.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Antique shops - I could go in there and spend my 200 quid, couldn't I?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I can see a few things I might like,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53you've an Edgar Hunt painting just there, of cockerels in a farmyard.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55A lovely little rocking horse.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59A treadle sewing machine, you've got a Wemyss pig - fantastic.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02And there's a little penny farthing that someone's left in the entrance.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Oh, yeah, that's cool, isn't it?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07There are over 50 little rooms of miniatures at Houghton Hall.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11The collection was started in Scotland during the '50s,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13but when the founders decided to retire,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15everything was to be sold off.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Happily, the owners of a Cumbrian garden centre
0:16:18 > 0:16:22stepped in to save it and commissioned even more pieces
0:16:22 > 0:16:25at exactly one twelfth actual size.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28So that's like 12 inches is replicated in one inch.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Is that the miniature as standard?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34It is, it's something that's universally accepted across the world.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- I've got one real favour to ask you. - OK.- Can I handle something?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41SHE GASPS
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I don't know! I'll have to check with the boss.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I tell you what, can you play any musical instruments?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- How about a miniature saxophone? - Yeah, yeah, that would be fantastic.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Just to have a look, just to hold it would be fantastic.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- So, that's actually pure gold. - It is.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- So that IS worth its weight in gold. - Yes, literally.- So these all work?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- They supposedly all work. - They do as well.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06If you were able to put a reed on it, they tell me it will play.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09That's a pity, because I was just going to do the Pink Panther for you.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12But it is quite the most perfect thing, it's delightful.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17Children are very welcome here but these are certainly not toys.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21They've moved far beyond even the finest dolls' house.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25What would the most expensive miniature piece you could buy cost you?
0:17:25 > 0:17:271,000, 10,000, 20,000?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Oh, no, you're talking multiples of thousands
0:17:30 > 0:17:33for one small piece of furniture.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35This is one of my favourite pieces.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38That's a walnut secretaire bureau bookcase.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41The only thing that that doesn't have
0:17:41 > 0:17:43is the thick end of 300 years of a patina.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- I just love it.- And who made that?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Oh, this was made by John Hodgson, who is known as The Master.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Hodgson and younger artists like Mark Gooch
0:17:54 > 0:17:57are big names in miniature's and with good reason -
0:17:57 > 0:18:00because these creations really are a labour of love.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02This model of a Middlesbrough theatre, for example,
0:18:02 > 0:18:06took over seven years to create.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08It's accurate right down to
0:18:08 > 0:18:11all the wonderful mouldings over the proscenium arch
0:18:11 > 0:18:13and there's the audience sitting there,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15all in their Edwardian finery.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Every single one of the figures is different.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- And there's even a gentleman... - I can see him, that's me!
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- ..in the bar. - In the bar, having a drink.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30No, they're not miniature, just far away!
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Night-night.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Day two, and it's damp.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41In the Sunbeam, things are getting steamy.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45You must be heavy breathing, Anita, because I can't see a damn thing.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- It's being next to you, Phil. - I can understand that.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Yesterday, Phil picked up a tea caddy,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54a pair of Sheffield plated candlesticks
0:18:54 > 0:18:58and bobbin stand for a total of £130,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01leaving him with just under £100 to spend today...
0:19:01 > 0:19:05while Anita acquired a pair of earrings and a pewter tea set,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07plus the little stamp box and a globe.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12All that came to £125, leaving her just over £50 to spend today.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19They're heading from the little Cumbrian hamlet of Temple Sowerby
0:19:19 > 0:19:21to the auction in Barnard Castle.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23There's a castle over there, look.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Where? Oh, right.- On the right, over there. Is that a castle?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I think it's a ruin, a bit like yourself.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Where Phil's about to find himself in a strangely clean farmyard.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Have a good day.- Right, remember Philip, no big lumps of iron.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43The bigger the better. See you later, bye.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Unlikely.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50This quirky place has been nominated one of Britain's best antique shops.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Hi, I'm Philip.- Hi, I'm Andy. Pleased to meet you, Philip.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Andy, how are you? This is a lovely showroom, isn't it?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57It may only be a barn,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00but the shrewd mix of antiques and vintage is enough to inspire.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Anyone might think they were hip here, even Phil.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Purple Rain, that was Prince, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Right on!
0:20:09 > 0:20:13The only trouble is, Daddy-o, can you make some bread here?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17This market is really a retail environment, you know.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I'm going to struggle to buy anything here
0:20:19 > 0:20:23to put it into a general sale and try and make a profit on it.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Time for a word with Andy.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Is your storeroom, is it through there?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30It's my workshop usually,
0:20:30 > 0:20:35but we've just had a bric-a-brac clear-out sale this weekend.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Can I go and have a look? - Yeah, sure.- Thank you.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Now this is much more chez Phil.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I like it when a man says, "This is the stuff I want to get rid of."
0:20:49 > 0:20:51What we might find out in a minute is
0:20:51 > 0:20:53how badly he wants to get rid of it.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- That's a bit traditional for you, isn't it?- Yeah, to be honest...
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- What will you do with that?- Well, I've put a really low price on.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03If somebody wants a cheap chest of drawers, that's it?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05What's your best price on that?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Make me an offer.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08It'll be a mean offer.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13I wouldn't go over 50 quid, I'd want to buy it for 40 or 50 quid,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- because I tell you why, I think the top needs sorting.- Oh, yeah.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20I think it needs all this cock-beading doing down here
0:21:20 > 0:21:22and it wants lifting up about two and a half inches
0:21:22 > 0:21:23with some bracket feet.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I'm going to give you 40 quid for it.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- 40 quid? - I know I'm being really cheeky.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32No, you're not, because I use them for scrap, so it's a balance of what we can get.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35There's an element, your scutchings and the locks are worth more to me
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- than it is as a piece of furniture. Are you going to take it now?- Yeah.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Give us 40 quid. - Oh, you're a gentleman, thank you.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46But you won't get anywhere in life without some proper barefaced cheek.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Is there any way that we can just, something that we can just...
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I've probably got a nut for it.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Just to lock that on there,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58then it just looks a little bit more presentable, doesn't it?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- I'll even leave you with your ivy leaf.- Thanks(!)
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Andy, thank you very much indeed.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06So, while Andy makes a quick repair, Phil shoves off.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Meanwhile, Anita has made her way
0:22:09 > 0:22:13from Temple Sowerby to Kirby Stephen.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- It's lovely to meet you. Penny, is it?- It's Penny, you're right, yes.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24For me, this is heaven.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Anita still wants to find one more item, but while downstairs
0:22:28 > 0:22:32a perfectly respectable selection of bric-a-brac awaits,
0:22:32 > 0:22:36upstairs are hats and Anita certainly does like a hat.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41# Mirror, mirror, mon amour
0:22:41 > 0:22:43# Send me what I'm waiting for
0:22:43 > 0:22:46# Pick me up an image so fine So fine
0:22:46 > 0:22:47# Mirror, mirror, mon amour
0:22:47 > 0:22:49# Give me what I'm waiting for... #
0:22:49 > 0:22:51It's very Jackie O.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Now I look like a dowager duck.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59A dowager duck! SHE LAUGHS
0:22:59 > 0:23:00I think it's terribly chic.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08I think this one would suit Phil.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Now, just calm down, Anita, and apply yourself.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15What about that clock?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17I'm having a look at this clock.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19It has the look,
0:23:19 > 0:23:25it's got that Art Deco 1930s geometric shape and I like it.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Whoops! You only have about £50 left.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32What I was looking at was this clock, Penny.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34It's Art Deco style, it's not from the 1930s,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38it's maybe a bit later than that, '50s.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I know it had some pieces with it.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44That's right, yes, it would have had two side ornaments
0:23:44 > 0:23:47and the little back plate is missing.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51But it's like this shop, it's got bags of style.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56- Thank you, thank you for that. - Enough buttering up, please!
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Now we get to the nitty-gritty.
0:23:59 > 0:24:06What I'd be looking to pay would be in the region of 30 to 35.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Am I anywhere near it?
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Not really, I would have thought more £50.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14It might be a wee bit dear for me at 50.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Is there another wee bit of movement, maybe in the region of 40?
0:24:18 > 0:24:2040 would help me.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- How's 45 sounding.- 45? - I think that really is the best.
0:24:23 > 0:24:2945, it's not a bad price and I probably have got a chance with that.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- It's a deal.- Thank you very much.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- I'll get that wrapped for you. - OK, thank you.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37With Anita now almost penniless, let's see what her rival can do.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Because having grabbed the Sunbeam,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43trundled north along to Appleby-in-Westmorland,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Phil's looking for one more buy.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48I think that I'm quite pleased with what I bought,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50although I have to say they're a bit, you know,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53real old-school antiques and it would be quite nice to find
0:24:53 > 0:24:56one thing that I can go off piste on.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59I shudder to think what that might mean. Perhaps he'll buy a horse.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02The place is known for them, after all.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Appleby's famous annual horse fair
0:25:07 > 0:25:10was first held as long ago as the 12th century.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13That does look an intriguing sign!
0:25:15 > 0:25:18You can see why they've called it Hidden Treasures.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Divina, meet Phil. He may not be your easiest customer.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Has that label been on there a long time?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Not that long, or else it would have smudged.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- That's a blow. I was hoping... - It would smudged in the rain.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36SHE LAUGHS
0:25:36 > 0:25:38What would be the very, very best on that?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Very best.- 15.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47OK. Thank you. Put that one back.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Hm, he's in a funny mood today.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Just a touch out of my price range, unfortunately.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Will I need my hanky box as I'm coming round with you?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57No, I might need mine.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I'm very tempted by the book on modern welding
0:26:00 > 0:26:02but I think I'll give that a miss just for now.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05I think that's five or 10 quid's worth at auction.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08What have you got on that? 28.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10But while he's pondering that book,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12more sewing paraphernalia comes to light.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Actually, I've just seen something else. What's that?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Ohh! Blooming backache!
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Sewing clamps, are they? That's a sewing clamp, isn't it?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23It sort of just slides onto there like that,
0:26:23 > 0:26:27and you just tighten him up and...
0:26:28 > 0:26:32That goes on there as well, you just tighten that up.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34That one, it's basically like a little pincushion.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I think they're probably ivory.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41Under the 1947 CITES agreement, it's illegal to buy or sell
0:26:41 > 0:26:45any ivory objects unless they were made before June of that year.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49But as these are late Victorian or Edwardian, they'll be fine.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54What's your best on these? Your very, very best.
0:26:54 > 0:26:5935. You really are going to make a profit on that, I'm certain.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02I'm going to buy these two off you, my love.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04£35 sews up that little deal.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Back in the lovely old town of Kirby Stephen, Anita's stopped shopping.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11The Vikings were early settlers here
0:27:11 > 0:27:15and the name of the place derives from the Norse for church.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17In one of the town's many fine buildings,
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Anita's come to see an historic collection
0:27:21 > 0:27:23of one of her favourite things - frocks.
0:27:25 > 0:27:31Hello, Lynn. I have been so looking forward to coming here.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36I am a dedicated follower of fashion. How did it all start?
0:27:36 > 0:27:41I bought blanket box full of linen, tablecloths and stuff
0:27:41 > 0:27:46and in the bottom of the box was a cape and that really set me off.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49That was over 30 years ago.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Since then, Lynn has acquired
0:27:51 > 0:27:55over 400 vintage dresses of various ages and styles,
0:27:55 > 0:28:00many accessories too, but it all started with one little cape.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01It's 1870s, and we know that
0:28:01 > 0:28:04because it's got nice what we call "pagoda" sleeves
0:28:04 > 0:28:07and she would have had white ruff sleeves underneath
0:28:07 > 0:28:09that came up to the elbow.
0:28:09 > 0:28:15I just love it. It's responsible for me spending an awful lot of money.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18I would think my collection's worth over £100,000, if not more,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21but I don't care, I just love it.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25For many years, Lynn kept her amazing collection at home
0:28:25 > 0:28:27using it for fashion shows and talks.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31But now the public can view it every weekend for free.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I wish they could talk to me, though.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37I sit and I look at them hanging up on pictures and walls
0:28:37 > 0:28:41and doors and I think, "If only they could talk to me."
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- Is this a ball dress or an evening dress?- It is a ball gown.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Because of all the lace,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49this depicts that this lady had a lot of money.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52I mean, it's gorgeous.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- They were prestige dressing. There were power dressing.- They were.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59For most modern women,
0:28:59 > 0:29:04the only equivalent of those fine frocks is their wedding dress
0:29:04 > 0:29:07and Lynn has over 100 of these.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09There's lace ones, there is satin ones,
0:29:09 > 0:29:13velvet ones and as you can see, they're all different.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17So everyone's got a story, everyone's had a happy bride?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Most of them, yes, except this one.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Now this one, it's had three owners.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25The person who originally made it was jilted,
0:29:25 > 0:29:29so she passed it on to a cousin.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32And unfortunately, she died, so she didn't wear it.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35And then the third owner is the lady I got it from,
0:29:35 > 0:29:39she was a missionary out in Africa somewhere
0:29:39 > 0:29:41and she put it on to get married
0:29:41 > 0:29:44and when she turned round just for the finishing touches,
0:29:44 > 0:29:48it was absolutely covered in creepy crawlies,
0:29:48 > 0:29:50so she took it off and got married
0:29:50 > 0:29:54in a little white frock belonging to one of the servant girls.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Oh, that's so sad. Poor wee dress, it's never had a bride.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01- Do you think it might have in the future?- No.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03It's a little bit unlucky, isn't it, really?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06And who could resist a dress with such a tale?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Certainly not our Anita.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13What do you think?
0:30:13 > 0:30:18Well, I think I've found myself another model for future shows.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Great.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22All I need now is a man.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23Oh, no, it can't be.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26The curse strikes again. Not Blakey from On The Buses?!
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Don't do it!
0:30:30 > 0:30:34OK, now it's time to reveal just what they've been up to.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Let's have a look. What have we bought?
0:30:36 > 0:30:37What have we got? Right...
0:30:37 > 0:30:39I quite like doing this bit.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41It's a wee bit like Christmas.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Can I say two things I like instantly? I think that's lovely
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- and I love that. - OK.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51And I love that cos, as you know, I used to be an old geog bloke.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54I know you were a geography teacher, but you cannae read a map!
0:30:54 > 0:30:56No, I can't read a globe anyway.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59So I think that's lovely. What did you pay for that?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01I paid £85 for that.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05I think if that doesn't show you a decent profit, there's no justice.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- What's that? Show me that. - What's that?
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- Well, it looks better than it is, Philip.- There's a lot of things in life like that.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Including me and you! - Absolutely!
0:31:13 > 0:31:16It's a wee stamp box, and what drew me to it
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- was this beautiful blue. - It's almost like lapis, it?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- It is. It's an agate. - How much?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Ten quid.- Oh, you can't go wrong with that.- I know.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26What about the stuff he's not so keen on?
0:31:26 > 0:31:29I thought you weren't a wee dog lady.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- I'm not, but I thought you might like this.- I love dogs.- There are people who are wee dog ladies.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38- And that... That's not Tudric, is it?- It's not, it's Craftsman.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42I bought that because I like the Arts and Crafts look about it.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44And I bought it, and then I looked at it again
0:31:44 > 0:31:48and I realised that these two finials were different.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49Shh, don't tell anybody.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Don't worry, not a word.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Your secret's safe.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Are you ready for this?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58This is the real boring stuff, this is.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00These little sewing implements,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02what draws you to them?
0:32:02 > 0:32:06It was the only thing I thought I could make a profit out of
0:32:06 > 0:32:08is the absolute honest truth!
0:32:08 > 0:32:11My two favourite bits is this little baby,
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- which I think is just a lovely thing.- It is.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16With this little drawer here.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- Oh, isn't that sweet? - I thought that was sweet.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- And I love these as well. - Are these silver?
0:32:21 > 0:32:24In your dreams, sweetheart! Our budget's 200,
0:32:24 > 0:32:25not 2,000!
0:32:25 > 0:32:27How much did you pay for them?
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Well, that was £65.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32- That was £55... - Yes...
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- A tenner. - A tenner?!
0:32:34 > 0:32:36I think she's impressed, Phil!
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- How did you get that for a tenner? - Well, cos it's a bit battered and bruised!
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- Can I have a wee look?- Yeah, yeah. - I mean, I know that condition is...
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- but you've still got the lids here. - Yeah.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51- For a tenner, that's a good buy, so you've done well, my friend. - I hope so.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- This is the other lot. - Yeah.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- This?- This, yeah.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- You bought this?- Yeah.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- That's a nice chest. Victorian chest. - It is, Anita, but you know...
0:33:00 > 0:33:04If you paid £50 for it, I'd still think you'd be getting it cheap.
0:33:04 > 0:33:10I paid £40 for it and if I didn't buy it, the guy was going to break it up and use it for spare timber.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15And what you're saying is, you're just an old softie.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18That gruff exterior,
0:33:18 > 0:33:20that gurning old face...
0:33:20 > 0:33:24You are just a softie!
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- I like the handles.- That's it, then?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Let's throw the rest away!
0:33:29 > 0:33:33If that wasn't frank enough, let's find out what they really thought.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36I can't see anywhere a potential for big losses.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I think the pewter service, that's profit,
0:33:39 > 0:33:40the earrings, profit,
0:33:40 > 0:33:43the dog... you can't lose too much there.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46I think they're a lovely little group of items.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Proper, regular antiques.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50I like them all,
0:33:50 > 0:33:53but I particularly like the little ivory sewing implements.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55I think they're beautiful.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59The globe, that's my real bit of green-eyed jealousy creeping in,
0:33:59 > 0:34:03because it's a really nice thing. I think she could do well with that.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08After starting out by Hadrian's Wall, up in Haltwhistle,
0:34:08 > 0:34:12this part of our trip will end at an auction in the castle.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Locals call it Barney.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Do you know what?
0:34:15 > 0:34:19I think these auctioneers will look after us well today.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20You're optimistic, then?
0:34:20 > 0:34:25No, I've sent them threatening letters if they don't!
0:34:25 > 0:34:28This auction house doesn't just sell the usual sort of thing.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33They once included a five-door family hatchback alongside antique furniture.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37So while the Barney folk take a butcher's at what's on offer today,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40let's have a barney with auctioneer David Elstob
0:34:40 > 0:34:42about Philip and Anita's lots.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47My favourite item is the globe. Had a bit of pre-sale interest in that.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51Does have a few condition issues, but I expect that to do well.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54The other I'm interested is a chest of drawers.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56It's a nice size, good proportions
0:34:56 > 0:34:59and we've had interest from the local trade.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Anita began with £177.30
0:35:03 > 0:35:07and she spent a total of £170 on five auction lots.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Let's go for it! Let's go for it!
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Phil started out with £225.80,
0:35:14 > 0:35:16and he spent £205 of it,
0:35:16 > 0:35:18also on five lots.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Only, this is unsaleable.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23This place is packed and we're about to start.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26One of us at least is very excited.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32I had blue biro marks all the way up my leg when I got home after the last auction!
0:35:32 > 0:35:35As long as it's only ink. OK, Anita's dog and clock.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Not a pub, but an Art Deco-style timepiece.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41With commission I'll start straight in at 50.
0:35:41 > 0:35:4350 I'm bid, I'll take five next.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45£50 I'm bid...

0:36:04 > 0:36:06I've got tender skin. My mother always told me I have tender skin.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14More Anita. Hand-hammered and under the hammer.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Who'll start me at £50?

0:40:42 > 0:40:46- £50.- I think it's a cracking thing. - Can't complain at that.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Yup, we definitely approve of that one.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51What do you think your earrings will make?
0:40:51 > 0:40:53They should make in excess of £20.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56There is that gold content.
0:40:56 > 0:41:01We'll see, Anita. You've certainly done well so far, darling.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- Should kind of double up my money. - Yeah.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05With interest I'm at 18.

0:41:17 > 0:41:21- That was a short and sweet 15 quid profit!- But that's spot on.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24They're neck and neck now.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27My profit's going to come out of my chest of drawers.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29How did you get that for 40 quid?
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Well, we can probably rule out charm!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Nice chest of drawers. Good proportions.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37I'm bid £90 on it. 90 I'm bid.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53You're out still. Selling at 130...
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- BANGS GAVEL - 130.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56But I'm pleased
0:41:56 > 0:41:59because that's given me a bit of a leg up, hasn't it?
0:41:59 > 0:42:03A huge profit, actually, from a chest that was destined for scrap.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Next lot's the old sewing bits then.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09- Internet's in at 38. - Are you getting excited?
0:42:09 > 0:42:10I think he is, Anita.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Who'll start me at 50?

0:42:35 > 0:42:38I've completely lost the plot of what I've done and haven't done.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40- Will I count it all up for you? - Yeah, you count your money.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Another good profit
0:42:42 > 0:42:46and Anita's adding up proves that Phil once again carries the day.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- And as I'm in profit I'll buy you a cup of tea.- You're a darling.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54After paying auction costs, Anita now has:
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Phil, on the other hand, is still way out in the lead with:
0:43:01 > 0:43:02Well done!
0:43:02 > 0:43:07- That really wasn't too bad, was it? - IT was absolutely great.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11But, Phil, I think you're still ahead of me by a margin.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14- Well...- Quite a big margin.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16- He did a good job, didn't he?- Yes!
0:43:17 > 0:43:20On to the next stop.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Next time on the Antiques Road Trip,
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Anita has a ball.
0:43:26 > 0:43:27Ugh! It's very heavy. >
0:43:27 > 0:43:30That would keep a man where you would him!
0:43:30 > 0:43:32And Phil makes a promise.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35I'd like to give you a very satisfactory experience.
