0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each,

0:00:05 > 0:00:09a classic car, and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:09 > 0:00:10That hurts.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14Have I got it the right way up?

0:00:14 > 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 > 0:00:24I look like the Mad Hatter.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27Will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?

0:00:27 > 0:00:30I'm only in this programme to be Anita Manning's chauffeur.

0:00:30 > 0:00:35This is the Antiques Road Trip, yeah!

0:00:37 > 0:00:41This week we're in a super Sunbeam Alpine, 1965 vintage,

0:00:41 > 0:00:45with Anita Manning and Philip Serrell.

0:00:45 > 0:00:50- You ever trod in a cowpat? - Oh, no, no, no.- "Oh, no, no, no."

0:00:50 > 0:00:54Together they've beaten a path across the back roads of the north,

0:00:54 > 0:00:56sometimes quite literally.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00Where does a road like this go to? Is this typical of your countryside?

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Where I come from, this is the M25.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04Philip, just go easy.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06You might turn a corner and bump into a sheep.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10- I've never bumped into a sheep, it will be absolutely fine.- Oh, no.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13THEY SCREAM

0:01:13 > 0:01:18Auctioneer Phil from Worcester finds strange beauty in the bizarre.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21That is daft, isn't it? Proper daft, that is.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24While Anita from Glasgow, also an auctioneer,

0:01:24 > 0:01:26shows worrying signs of sharing his fascination.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Could it be a moment of madness?

0:01:28 > 0:01:35Anita started with £200 and has £395.10 to spend today.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Lift it up, darling!

0:01:39 > 0:01:43Philip also began with £200

0:01:43 > 0:01:47and has a narrow lead with £439.36 at his disposal.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51- I need to be on my mettle now. - I'm snapping at your heels, darling.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54This fees a bit like a romantic assignation.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Get out the car, quick sharp.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Look at that, that's a fantastic view, isn't it?

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Where are we, Philip?

0:02:04 > 0:02:07I suppose Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Cumbrian Fells.

0:02:07 > 0:02:13See that glowering bit up there, I think that's Scotland-wards.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17This week's Road Trip starts out at Ford in Northumberland

0:02:17 > 0:02:21and ventures into Scotland before wending its way southwards once more

0:02:21 > 0:02:24and concluding at Harrogate in Yorkshire.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28Leg four starts out in Cumbria, at Kirkby Lonsdale,

0:02:28 > 0:02:32and makes for an auction by the sea near Blackpool at Cleveleys.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39The writer and critic John Ruskin described this view of the River Lune

0:02:39 > 0:02:41as one of the loveliest in England

0:02:41 > 0:02:45and the rest of Kirkby Lonsdale isn't too shabby either.

0:02:45 > 0:02:50Kirkby can boast of a Devil's Bridge and a Salt Pie Lane as well.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54Those contained mutton apparently.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57This is so exciting! I love it, I love it.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01This is my first shop. I wonder what treasures await me.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04I hope there's nothing too good.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09This shop sells country furniture, traditional antiques

0:03:09 > 0:03:11and some especially fine glass.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15The star piece is actually this particular one,

0:03:15 > 0:03:18which dates from 1725.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Can I see that?

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Oh, yeah, its beautiful. That's wonderful.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Leonard is justifiably proud of his glass

0:03:26 > 0:03:29but that's well out of Anita's range.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32This particular one will take you back £895.

0:03:32 > 0:03:33Oh, dear. I thought so.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36I'm sure you can stretch to that!

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Not in the Antiques Road Trip.

0:03:40 > 0:03:45Well, we're over halfway through the trip now, Anita. It has been known.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49But while Anita keeps searching, what's become of Philip?

0:03:49 > 0:03:51He's making his way south from Kirkby

0:03:51 > 0:03:55around the edge of the Yorkshire Dales to Ingleton.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59That's one of Yorkshire's famous Three Peaks.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01It's called Ingleborough

0:04:01 > 0:04:04and tends to dominate the skyline round here,

0:04:04 > 0:04:08a bit like Philip's been dominating the leaderboard this week.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11But with Anita now snapping at his heels, the pressure is most certainly on.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Hello. How are you? - Fine, thank you.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17This is all your stock...?

0:04:17 > 0:04:20- No, there's 25 different dealers in here.- 25!

0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Blimey! Which is yours? - I can't tell you that.- You can!

0:04:24 > 0:04:27I don't want to influence you.

0:04:27 > 0:04:28Don't worry, Gaynor.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31The only thing likely to influence our Philip is the price

0:04:31 > 0:04:34and this looks like the sort of place where he'll find

0:04:34 > 0:04:36something to his unique taste.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40- This is a fantastic suitcase, isn't it?- It's gorgeous.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44- That will be over 50 quid? - Quite a bit over 50 quid, yes.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48- It's about 500. - That is over 50 quid, isn't it?

0:04:48 > 0:04:52I reckon that'd fit in the back of that little sports car you just rolled up in.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Those two could be worth watching.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57What about Anita back in Kirkby Lonsdale. Getting any warmer?

0:04:57 > 0:05:03- It's a great fun piece, probably from the '40s, '50s?- '50s.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06It's an electric fire, am I right?

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Yes, but because you can get your hand in there,

0:05:08 > 0:05:11nowadays you've got to say it's a work of art.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15The other things that tickled my fancy

0:05:15 > 0:05:17is little Lady and the Tramp here.

0:05:17 > 0:05:22These are little Wade Whimsies and I remember as a wee girl,

0:05:22 > 0:05:25having a wee collection of Wade Whimsies.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Whimsies were sold as pocket-money toys

0:05:28 > 0:05:32and even given away free with teabags or in Christmas crackers.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34During the '60s,

0:05:34 > 0:05:38the Wade Company cannily got into making Disney characters.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41They're highly collectible today but rarely fetch a lot of money.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Ticket price, £35.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47What sort of price could I be getting these for?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49For the two, I'd do them for 25.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52If I was putting them into auction,

0:05:52 > 0:05:55my estimate would be in the region of £15 for the two.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59Could you bring it down to near enough the 15 on it?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01I'd split the difference, they'd have to be 20.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Oh, it's so tempting, Leonard. It's so tempting.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08- These little creatures are smiling at me.- They're fabulous.

0:06:08 > 0:06:14Could you split it again and come to 18? Could you do 18 on it?

0:06:14 > 0:06:1719 - and that is the bottom line.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21Ah well, I think they're getting there at last. What about Phil and Gaynor?

0:06:21 > 0:06:23It's got a bit of damage on the front.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26There's a bit of damage on the front. There's a chunk missing.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Turn it around the other way, you'll never see it.- Yeah.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31I think it is a log box, don't you?

0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Expensive. £16?!- That's a bargain!

0:06:35 > 0:06:39- 16...- Don't you think?- No, I don't! Good Lord.- Come on.- Put that by.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Are those an optician's board? - Yes, it is.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45- How much is it?- It's £8.50.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49Oh, I'm not having that! Let's have a look at it, mate.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53- That's a bargain.- Is that right? - I reckon.- Is that what you say to all the boys?

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Hold on, let's just see if it works.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58W, that's all I can see there!

0:06:58 > 0:07:05£8.50 is clearly far too much money. But we might be able to have a bit of a chat about that in a bit.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Now, what about those two pups?

0:07:08 > 0:07:12This is an advertising thing for Black & White Scotch whiskey.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14It's lovely. You've got the two little terriers here.

0:07:14 > 0:07:20Anita's always banging on at me that I love my dogs. So that's quite a bit of fun.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Those terriers were first dreamt up by the whiskey's creator,

0:07:23 > 0:07:26James Buchanan, during the 1890s.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29However, the original brand name was the House of Commons.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32They repro these.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35And this to me does look like it's in - if you look there.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38In fact, I'd have a pound that this might be a repro.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Is that a new one or an old one? - I was told it was an old one.- OK.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Who's your dealer? - I'll phone him up. Colin.- Colin.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48- You have a word with Colin.- Yeah.

0:07:48 > 0:07:53Would you believe it? Both experts are now haggling over the price of dog figurines?

0:07:53 > 0:07:58I still like these Wee Whimsies. I still like them!

0:07:58 > 0:08:02And I think, would you do them for 18? Would you do them for 18?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- I'll do them for 18.- Oh, you're a darling! You're a darling.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Because you'll have a bit of fun with Philip. Lady and the Tramp!

0:08:08 > 0:08:10I know! Right, that's absolutely fabulous.

0:08:10 > 0:08:17At last we have a deal. And that canny Anita got them round to her way of thinking in the end.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20I think the time has come when you and I need to have a very serious talk.

0:08:20 > 0:08:25- OK. Let's do it.- Look, I'm going to an auction room. Cleveley, they're at.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27You're going to sell this at auction in Cleveleys?

0:08:27 > 0:08:29- I wouldn't.- Really?

0:08:29 > 0:08:32It's not a risk that I would take.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35So, that's a no on the log box.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Look at that. We've got black and white and black and white!

0:08:38 > 0:08:43- That's meant to be. - That is what you call a sales pitch!

0:08:43 > 0:08:47So, what we have got here is an eye testing kit that's got no age to it,

0:08:47 > 0:08:50and we've a whiskey advertising sign, we're not sure how old it is.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52What would you do the two for, please?

0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Well, when we spoke to Colin the dealer...- I can see I'm going to need to pull up a chair here.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59- He wanted 25 for this. - I know exactly what he wanted.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03- So I would say to you...- Go on, this is going to be good, isn't it?

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- 30 for the two. - I was thinking of 20 the two.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09He'll never do that. It's possible...

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- What?- That I could let you have the two for 25.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16Go on then, you're a star. Thank you ever so much. There you are.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19For those of you at home struggling with your eyesight,

0:09:19 > 0:09:22here's a quick afternoon test.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26Well I'm not sure the auction house is going to be blinded by the quality of the haul so far.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29But, er, hang on, things might be looking up.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33I'm just leaving the shop and it always happens, you see something else that you like.

0:09:33 > 0:09:39We have got three Famille Rose late 19th-century plates.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Oriental stuff is coming back. These aren't rare.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44These were made for the export market.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47I've always liked them. The colours are beautiful.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Look at these lovely greens and pinks.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53So really, in itself, it's a little work of art.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57£25 is the ticket price, but what can Leonard do?

0:09:57 > 0:10:02It's sort of 1880s. It's just lovely with the bird and things.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05I mean, that could be 18.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Could you do that for 15? - Yeah, I'll take 15 for that.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11OK, that's another deal. Wonderful! Wonderful!

0:10:11 > 0:10:17So, Anita has got those doggies out of the window for £18 and the plate for £15.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21Well, thankfully, we seem to be getting somewhere.

0:10:21 > 0:10:26Now, Phil is supposed to be picking up Anita. But hold on, something's come up.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Have you got anything I could buy off you?

0:10:29 > 0:10:34No little knick-knacks in your van? Nothing? OK, thanks, matey.

0:10:34 > 0:10:40Appleby Horse Fair is close by. That's a big lure for travellers.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Typical Phil to spot the chance of a deal.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46- So this is a Peterborough whip? - Yeah.- What's a Peterborough whip?

0:10:46 > 0:10:50- It's a driving whip. - But it's got no...

0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Lash. - Is this just for trapping him?

0:10:52 > 0:10:56- To drive him on, yeah.- So you sit here and just give him a gentle tap?

0:10:56 > 0:10:58We sit on these things there.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Sit on there, you put one foot there, one foot there, look.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Oh hold on, here we go, this is going to go horribly wrong, this is.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- So I sit on there like that? - Just tap the horse.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09- One foot there, one foot there, that's why you have a short whip. - You just tap him?

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- You just him on, yeah. - And how much would one of these be?

0:11:12 > 0:11:14It's an old one, that one.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18It could be owt from £20 to £100 in a sale.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21He said that without even smiling or flinching!

0:11:21 > 0:11:23- What else have you got. - What else have we got?- Collar.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Collar, let's have a look at the collar.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Now...

0:11:29 > 0:11:33- Do you use that?- That's what you put on him to pull his bow tops with.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37We'll do you the whip and the collar for 30 quid. That's fairer.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- OK. Can I have a picture thrown in? - Are you chucking a picture in, Danny?

0:11:40 > 0:11:44- Chuck a picture in, not a problem.- OK, done deal. Thanks, chaps. Let me shake you by the hand.

0:11:44 > 0:11:49- I really enjoyed that.- No problems, thank you very much.- Thanks a lot. - Thank you, Sam.- All right.- Now.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Have I got to ride anything before I get out of here?

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Oh, dear!

0:11:56 > 0:12:02Time for Anita and Phil to head west from Kirby Lonsdale to Carnforth.

0:12:02 > 0:12:07Recognise it? It's the railway town where they filmed much of Brief Encounter.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11Sadly, though, the place where our romantic couple must part.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15There's your shop there. I'll drop you off here, in Oxford Street.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19That's fantastic. And I'll see you in Regent Street later on!

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Now, sweet sorrow or sweet bargains for Philip?

0:12:22 > 0:12:25I favour the latter.

0:12:25 > 0:12:30- Hi, I'm Philip. How are you? - Fine, thank you very much.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Good to see you. This is a proper shop, isn't it?

0:12:33 > 0:12:36It certainly is. Proper full, too.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Michael's not one for the hard sell though.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43- You have got some brilliant things. - It's bric-a-brac, Phillip.

0:12:43 > 0:12:48- I'm terrified of breaking something. - Don't worry about it. It's one less thing to worry about.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Keeps them keen, I suppose.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54Ah, now this is where he keeps the stuff he is really proud of.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56I've got a hankering for a painting.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59Well, you've come to the right place here, I would say.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02I'd like to spend somewhere between £50 and £80 on a painting.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- I like that.- Owen Bowen.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Quite a late one, not a good one.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10- It's not a good one?- No. - So much would that be?

0:13:10 > 0:13:12That one would be 120.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15What does he turn up on Art Price at, do you know?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Thousands. You surely know Owen Bowen?

0:13:17 > 0:13:21Owen Bowen was born in Leeds in 1873 and is best known

0:13:21 > 0:13:24for his impressionistic landscapes of Yorkshire.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27They can fetch decent prices, too.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30His early things are sort of £5,000-£10,000.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33Is there any way you can give me that for a hundred quid?

0:13:33 > 0:13:36- You can't?- Sorry. - No, I understand that.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Look at that little card up there. - A nice little picture. Very nice.

0:13:39 > 0:13:44It comes free with any Owen Bowen. It's by Donald Woods.

0:13:44 > 0:13:45OK, I'll have those two.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Now I will have this, cos I like it.- OK.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52- So if I buy the two off you for £120.- Yeah.- 10, 12.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you very much indeed.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01While Philip's been acquiring a view of Yorkshire,

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Anita's motored to the heart of Red Rose country

0:14:04 > 0:14:08where they used to have wars about such things in the 15th century.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15Driving south from Carnforth to Lancaster.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23This historic county town of Lancashire

0:14:23 > 0:14:27is infamous as the site of the Pendle witch trials in 1612.

0:14:27 > 0:14:31The huge numbers who received the death sentence,

0:14:31 > 0:14:34earning Lancaster the dubious nickname of the hanging town.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40But hey, that was 400 years ago, chaps!

0:14:40 > 0:14:43This has once belonged to one, Thomas Covell,

0:14:43 > 0:14:47the Justice of the Peace during those trials.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49And it's reckoned to be the oldest in Lancaster.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53- Hi.- Hello, I'm Anita.- I'm Anthea. Welcome to the Judges Lodges Museum.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55I'm really looking forward to this.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59Later on, the old hall became lodgings for visiting judges

0:14:59 > 0:15:04and nowadays it's a museum housing fine Lancashire Gilles furniture.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10But Anita's here to visit the house's other great collection,

0:15:10 > 0:15:13the Museum of Childhood.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20Anthea, I've never seen such a big collection of dolls.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22Where have they all come from?

0:15:22 > 0:15:26The majority of the dolls we have came from a collection built up by a man called Barry Elder.

0:15:27 > 0:15:33Elder was a doll repair man, or surgeon, who began his collection in London during the '50s

0:15:33 > 0:15:36and later moved to Lancashire.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38When I was a wee girl in Glasgow,

0:15:38 > 0:15:43I remember my doll having to go to the dolls' hospital to have its arm fixed.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47I think there were two or three dolls' hospitals in the city at that time.

0:15:50 > 0:15:55Only a fraction of the collection's 2,500 dolls are on display here,

0:15:55 > 0:15:57some dating from the 1700s.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Many of them once crowded into Barry's home

0:16:00 > 0:16:05and this painting shows his family, with some of his many dolls.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Actually you can't tell the difference

0:16:09 > 0:16:13- between the real people and the dolls.- You can't.

0:16:13 > 0:16:18I wonder if Barry could tell the difference between them?

0:16:18 > 0:16:22I think he wanted people to walk in and feel that the dolls

0:16:22 > 0:16:24could come to life at any minute.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27That's a scary thought. That is a scary thought.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Well sometimes dolls are a bit scary.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Isn't that him out of the Omen?

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Are you scared of them?

0:16:38 > 0:16:40I do walk quickly through while I'm locking up the building.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43- I try to keep the lights on if we're here late.- Do you?

0:16:43 > 0:16:46- And you don't glance... - No, I don't look back.

0:16:50 > 0:16:55You better be careful how you describe your visit to Philip, Anita.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58Whatever you do, because he might have problems sleeping.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00Night, night.

0:17:02 > 0:17:07Next morning, our two glimpse the downside of open top travel.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11This car's soaking, did you leave that hood down?

0:17:11 > 0:17:12No, but I'm all right.

0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Ah, no!- My side's fine, now.- No!

0:17:16 > 0:17:21- You should have made sure that the hood was all right, Philip. - It's going to be one of those days.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Yesterday, Anita plumped for a pair of Whimsies

0:17:24 > 0:17:26and a Canton Famille plate.

0:17:26 > 0:17:32Spending just £33 and leaving £362.10 for today.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34These little creatures are smiling at me.

0:17:34 > 0:17:40While Phil spent £175 on paintings, horse tackle, figurines

0:17:40 > 0:17:46and an eye chart, leaving him with £264.36 in his back pocket.

0:17:46 > 0:17:47Speaking of which...

0:17:47 > 0:17:50My behind is soaking wet. It's not very pleasant.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52I think it's coming from without and not within.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54ANITA LAUGHS

0:17:54 > 0:17:57They are heading for an auction in Cleveleys, but today's shopping

0:17:57 > 0:17:58starts on the outskirts of Lancaster.

0:17:58 > 0:18:03- Phil, what about that, is that not your type of thing?- That's a lot of old bull that, isn't it?

0:18:07 > 0:18:10Look at the size of this place, over 40,000 square feet

0:18:10 > 0:18:15and at least 80 dealers all presided over by a father and son.

0:18:15 > 0:18:16Just where do you start?

0:18:25 > 0:18:29The scale of the shop is just astonishing. It huge.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Sometimes it's more difficult when you've got more stuff.

0:18:32 > 0:18:33I don't know what to buy.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36Phil, though, seems to have hit the ground running

0:18:36 > 0:18:38with something quite familiar.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40This is a Canton vase, Chinese.

0:18:40 > 0:18:44It's made around about 1880, 1890 and it's made for our market.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48It originally would have been one of a pair. This is a nice vase.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52It's just a pity it's got a chip there and it's a very recent chip, I would think.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Alan, how are you? - I'm all right, Phil.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Have you seen that dink just there? - I hadn't, to tell you the truth.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59Pity that, isn't it?

0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Because that's only just coming very recently.- Really?- Yeah.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06They're a nice piece, nice decorating piece.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09- They add colour to a house, don't they?- You've got £90 on it.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Yeah, it could be better than that,

0:19:11 > 0:19:16especially when you've shown that there is a slight flaw in it.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18How about on that one, 60?

0:19:18 > 0:19:21Can I get it under the £50 mark, can we do that?

0:19:21 > 0:19:24You're pushing me on that, Phil. Can we not call it 50?

0:19:26 > 0:19:28- OK, I'll have that off you for £50.- OK.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31I think you're being fair with me.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34- 20...- Would you like it wrapped, Phil?

0:19:34 > 0:19:37Gift wrapped? No, no.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Ah, this is what we like to see, the methodical approach.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43There is a game of Glidoball

0:19:43 > 0:19:45and I don't really know what Glidoball is

0:19:45 > 0:19:51but it looks interesting and I quite like that.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54It's an old football rattle.

0:19:54 > 0:19:55Let me see that.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03Steady on, I can see why those fell out of fashion.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06I don't know this game but...

0:20:06 > 0:20:09what we've got is hooks...

0:20:09 > 0:20:16I think Glidoball may have been a doomed attempt to supplant croquet from the '20s.

0:20:16 > 0:20:22- You have to get the balls onto this circular thing here.- That's right.

0:20:22 > 0:20:27- Ten shillings. Do you think I'd get it for 50p?- Probably not, no.

0:20:27 > 0:20:32Cheeky, Anita! the actual price is £45.50.

0:20:32 > 0:20:37I wondered what sort of price I could get that for?

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Yeah, I'm sure I could speak to him and see what the best price is.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Ask him if you'll take 20 quid for it.- Right, OK.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46Yeah, but in a place of this size, that could take some time.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Oh, he's gone to see his dad.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59She saw the ten shillings and wanted to buy it at that.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03If she has a ten shilling note, she can have it, honour.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07If she has one, if not she'd have to pay £30.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09How are we doing, Jimmy?

0:21:09 > 0:21:12- OK, they're hard work, some of these dealers.- Are they hard work?

0:21:12 > 0:21:17They are. I've spoken to him and he said that his best would be £30.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Now, if that's not good enough,

0:21:19 > 0:21:23then I'm willing to get my hand smacked for another five.

0:21:23 > 0:21:28- 25 would be the best. - Smack your hand there. It's a deal. Thank you so much.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Bravo! Or whatever they say in Glidoball language.

0:21:31 > 0:21:35Now, she's grabbed Alan about something else.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37I rather like this chair.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- I'm not surprised, it's come out of Scotland.- Has it, really??

0:21:40 > 0:21:44- This is our only Scottish dealer, this one.- Isn't that interesting?

0:21:44 > 0:21:49I like this one, it does have an Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau look about it.

0:21:49 > 0:21:54- It has been reupholstered. - Definitely.- And it's not...

0:21:54 > 0:21:57I think it was done by an electrician.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01I like the fact that it's an elbow chair.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05- I think that gives it an extra dimension?- I think it's nice.

0:22:05 > 0:22:06- You like it?- Mm, I do.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10Priced up at 35 which is not dear. I know that's not dear.

0:22:10 > 0:22:15I would like to be buying it somewhere in the region,

0:22:15 > 0:22:16below about 20.

0:22:18 > 0:22:24- I think you're asking a lot there. I think, 25, we could do.- 25.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27And I think even at 25 there's profit in it.

0:22:27 > 0:22:32Is it possible to go to 20 on it? At 20 I could make a little on it.

0:22:32 > 0:22:37- Go on, we'll do that.- Oh, you're a darling, thank you so much.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40With Anita sitting pretty, where's Phil got to?

0:22:40 > 0:22:46- Have you got any spectacles? - Jimmy, have we got some old...?

0:22:46 > 0:22:49You mean, you don't know! every cabinet that's here.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51- We've only 500,000 items. - I know, I know.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55- Are there any in that one? - I bought an eyesight chart

0:22:55 > 0:22:58and it'd be quite fun to put some spectacles with it.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Point me in the right direction.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04- We going to have a look.- Right.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Do you know which direction were heading into?

0:23:06 > 0:23:10This is like looking for a pair of spectacles in an antique warehouse.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12It is, yeah.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14# I can see for miles and miles

0:23:14 > 0:23:17# I can see for miles and miles... #

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Are these me, Alan?

0:23:19 > 0:23:22These are the old Eric Morecambe ones, aren't they?

0:23:22 > 0:23:24What about the John Lennon look?

0:23:24 > 0:23:26What's that's snooker player, Dennis Taylor?

0:23:26 > 0:23:28I'm not really sure they're me, actually.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32- Right, I'm going to have a look around, Alan. You keep on the case.- Yeah.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34The search goes on.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38I think Phil craves something a little more sophisticated.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Pince-nez.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45How does that look?

0:23:45 > 0:23:46Now, those are very much more you, sir.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48How much are they?

0:23:48 > 0:23:53They are all of £10 on the ticket, including the case.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55What's the best you can do those for?

0:23:55 > 0:23:59Well, if you're not going to haggle with me, I'll do them at five.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02- No, I'm going to have those off you. - Are you?- Yeah.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04- There you are.- Right.- That's very kind.- There you go.

0:24:04 > 0:24:09- And a bit of change would be lovely. - And a bit of change as well. You're a hard man.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Thanks very much indeed.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16So a fiver for the specs and £50 for the Canton vase.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20With more items bagged, it's time to hit the road again.

0:24:20 > 0:24:24And, motor South from Lancaster to Lytham St Anne's,

0:24:24 > 0:24:27where it's damp.

0:24:27 > 0:24:31I spy with my little eye, something beginning with R.

0:24:31 > 0:24:32Anita?

0:24:32 > 0:24:33That does not begin with R.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39This is Lytham, where they like a round of golf.

0:24:39 > 0:24:44Also notable because the great Les Dawson once lived around here.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47There you are, all the best.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Oh, thank you very much. I think the weather is brightening up a wee bit.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53Hopefully we might have a donkey ride.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55PHIL LAUGHS

0:24:55 > 0:25:00- Hello. Hi, I'm Anita.- Hi, Anita. - Lovely to see you.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04John's shop has quite a few quality antiques

0:25:04 > 0:25:09but I think Anita has her eye on something of more recent vintage.

0:25:09 > 0:25:10It's a good 20th century design.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12I like the fact that it's quite useful.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14I would use it as a bedside cabinet.

0:25:14 > 0:25:171960s, 1970s.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20I don't know the designer, I think the dealer might know.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23I'll be interesting to know. I do like that.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25It's called a Boby trolley.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27What kind of trolley?

0:25:27 > 0:25:31Actually, I think it might be a Componibili storage unit

0:25:31 > 0:25:34designed by Anna Ferrieri in 1969.

0:25:34 > 0:25:38You just don't know the market in the same room that you're going to.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41I would've said it's probably more of a city thing.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44Very nice, but a bit of a risk.

0:25:44 > 0:25:48Something more classical for Cleveleys perhaps?

0:25:48 > 0:25:52It's a little pepperette and you'd use it for powder

0:25:52 > 0:25:57after you had written a letter with your fountain pen, or whatever.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00You would have powder in that so that it would absorb the ink.

0:26:00 > 0:26:04It is hallmarked silver.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Made in Birmingham.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09Probably in the late 19th century.

0:26:10 > 0:26:15But it's not just as crisp as I would like to have it.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18The ticket price is £80, though.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Should that be taken with a pinch of salt(?)

0:26:20 > 0:26:22What's the best on that?

0:26:25 > 0:26:27I could do 40 on that.

0:26:27 > 0:26:28Mm, half price then.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31Could you take another tenner off of that?

0:26:31 > 0:26:35There's a little profit in that for me and I think there'd be quite a decent one for you.

0:26:37 > 0:26:3835...

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- I'm going for the silver. - A quality piece.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44Thank you very much. That's sweet.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46It wee and charming.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48A bit like me...sometimes.

0:26:48 > 0:26:52£35, not to be sneezed at.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57Now Phil, as we know, loves a bit of glitz and glamour.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01Which explains why he's sun beamed up from Lytham to Blackpool.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08This town's been one of Britain's greatest resorts

0:27:08 > 0:27:12since the railways first arrived in the mid-19th century

0:27:12 > 0:27:15but what really put Blackpool on the map was power, electrical power.

0:27:15 > 0:27:20In 1879, they became the first municipality to install

0:27:20 > 0:27:22electric street lighting.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Ah, that's better!

0:27:24 > 0:27:28And, a short while after, came the famous Illuminations.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32Blackpool hasn't really switched off since.

0:27:32 > 0:27:352012 is a celebration of 100 years

0:27:35 > 0:27:38and Philip's come to the HQ to meet the man in charge.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Hi, Phil.- Hello, Richard, good to see you.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44Do you know, I can remember coming to Blackpool.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47I must have been about eight or nine.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49I'm sure it was a Walt Disney,

0:27:49 > 0:27:52either Snow White or Cinderella I saw.

0:27:52 > 0:27:53We've done both.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56This year's display will be over six miles long

0:27:56 > 0:27:58and use over a million lamps.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01This one is an old tableau that we're doing up.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05In the style of those American houses, it will sing a song.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08This one does Thriller, Ghost In My House,

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Monster Mash and plays it through speakers.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Basically all the windows dance and sing.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19It will also cost around 2.1 million compared

0:28:19 > 0:28:24to just £5,000 for the visit of Princess Louise in 1912.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27When the Royal visit was, was it in summer, winter, autumn, spring?

0:28:27 > 0:28:29- It was actually in May.- May.

0:28:29 > 0:28:33- Basically it was so successful we did it again later in the year.- Really?

0:28:33 > 0:28:36Then realised what a fantastic thing, it extends the season.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41Now that was a light bulb moment, one that's earned Blackpool

0:28:41 > 0:28:47a fortune and funded a succession of evermore ambitious displays.

0:28:47 > 0:28:51This one, look at that. It's basically a theatrical theme.

0:28:51 > 0:28:57- That's 70-odd years old?- Yeah. - That's incredible.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00Which is the golden years of Blackpool?

0:29:00 > 0:29:04- For me, some of these on the wall are some of the best ones.- Really?

0:29:04 > 0:29:08Late 1960s, into the early '70s,

0:29:08 > 0:29:14it was a time when there was a lot of resources put towards the Illuminations.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16There's an example of one here, the dancing years.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18This is a close-up of it.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21I mean the actual painting of it is beautiful.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24We found the designer, a gentleman called Emilios Hatjoullis

0:29:24 > 0:29:26and he painted all of these.

0:29:26 > 0:29:30We reunited him with them, recently and he came in this room

0:29:30 > 0:29:33and it was quite emotional for him because he'd not seen these things.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36So well-known are the Illuminations that even the identity

0:29:36 > 0:29:39of the celebrity who switches the lights on

0:29:39 > 0:29:42has become a barometer of our cultural history.

0:29:42 > 0:29:47- Red Rum switched the lights on. - Clever horse, he was.

0:29:47 > 0:29:52- Very good, very well-behaved as well.- Absolutely.- Canon and Ball.

0:29:52 > 0:29:53I remember them.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55What else is Blackpool noted for?

0:29:55 > 0:29:57The Pleasure Beach, of course!

0:29:57 > 0:30:01It's been a bit of a rollercoaster since 1896.

0:30:04 > 0:30:05Can I have a balloon?

0:30:05 > 0:30:07Don't be so silly. This way.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09Watch it!

0:30:09 > 0:30:10I'm catching you up, Phil!

0:30:10 > 0:30:11You'll never catch me!

0:30:13 > 0:30:17They're not going on one of those, are they? Surely not.

0:30:17 > 0:30:18Brace yourself!

0:30:18 > 0:30:21Hold my hand, hold my hand, hold my hand!

0:30:21 > 0:30:25Oh, Phil, I've just remembered I don't like heights. Agh!

0:30:25 > 0:30:28# Rollercoaster of love

0:30:28 > 0:30:30# Rollercoaster. #

0:30:32 > 0:30:35That's the quietest she's been ever!

0:30:35 > 0:30:37Can we go again?

0:30:37 > 0:30:41Sorry, Phil. It's time to see what you've both bought.

0:30:42 > 0:30:47Philip! This is where I want to be. It's wonderful!

0:30:47 > 0:30:53Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Tower Circus!

0:30:55 > 0:30:58Start here first. You've got an art nouveau chair.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00Art nouveau chair.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02- Very Glasgow style.- Yeah.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04- And how much was that?- 20 quid.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07- For nothing.- That's all right, isn't it.

0:31:07 > 0:31:08Have I done good?

0:31:08 > 0:31:10You've done a proper job there, proper job.

0:31:10 > 0:31:13What's that called? Glidoball?

0:31:13 > 0:31:16I've never seen one before. Probably from the 1940s.

0:31:16 > 0:31:20So do these things just slide up and down?

0:31:20 > 0:31:25They glide, and you try to drop them into these supports here.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27- Is it all there?- It's all there.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29Original string and all.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31Original string and all.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33So, are we ignoring the Whimsies?

0:31:33 > 0:31:36I reckon that's Scamp anyway.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38- I like that. Canton plate.- Yep.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41Canton. Late 19th century.

0:31:41 > 0:31:42How much was that?

0:31:42 > 0:31:4315 quid.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45- That's cheap. That is cheap.- I know.

0:31:45 > 0:31:51I was attracted to this lovely, lovely wee pepperette,

0:31:51 > 0:31:54and I love that wee turned handle.

0:31:54 > 0:31:55How much was it?

0:31:55 > 0:31:5635.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59You can melt that for probably 40 quid, couldn't you.

0:31:59 > 0:32:00Really?

0:32:00 > 0:32:03- Show me yours. - Are you ready for this?

0:32:03 > 0:32:05I had a really good time actually.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08Is this when you ran away with the travelling folk?

0:32:08 > 0:32:11You ran away with the circus and I ran away with the travellers!

0:32:11 > 0:32:13We're a wild pair, Phil!

0:32:13 > 0:32:16These guys here were coming back from Appleby,

0:32:16 > 0:32:20and just the loveliest family, and I bought this off them.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22That's great. That would suit you, Phil.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24Actually I might have to need it.

0:32:24 > 0:32:28As long as you don't tell me this suits you... Mrs Whiplash.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30And I gave them 30 quid for the lot.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33I think that must be worth 30 quid itself, don't you?

0:32:33 > 0:32:35- I haven't got a clue. - Don't know?

0:32:35 > 0:32:37And then these.

0:32:37 > 0:32:38Two Scotties, yeah!

0:32:38 > 0:32:421950s advertising. 20 quid.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45That's all right, that's all right.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48- This...- Yeah. A bigger version of mine.

0:32:48 > 0:32:50A bigger version. That was £50.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52That's good. That's a big one.

0:32:52 > 0:32:53I thought that was cheap.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56Those were a tenner.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58No comment on those.

0:32:58 > 0:33:02This, I'm really moithered about this.

0:33:02 > 0:33:04This is Owen Bowen, who's a Staithes School artist.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07I bought it for £120, and the guy gave me that as well,

0:33:07 > 0:33:11and I just think it's a really lovely painting.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14It's wonderful. It's a glowering sky, isn't it?

0:33:14 > 0:33:20I'm hoping it's going to make 200 to 300. That would be lovely.

0:33:20 > 0:33:22It could quite well do that.

0:33:22 > 0:33:24I think she likes it.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27Are you ready?

0:33:27 > 0:33:30Watch it, pal! Watch it!

0:33:30 > 0:33:32Off you go. Off you go.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34But what do they really think?

0:33:34 > 0:33:40If they give her things away, she can only lose £113 or whatever it is

0:33:40 > 0:33:45whereas I spent double that, I piled my money in to that Chinese vase

0:33:45 > 0:33:47and those paintings, and how will they do?

0:33:47 > 0:33:49It's in the lap of the Gods.

0:33:49 > 0:33:51I really, really love that picture!

0:33:51 > 0:33:54I would've paid double that amount!

0:33:54 > 0:33:55I think he's going to do well on that.

0:33:55 > 0:34:00After starting out in Kirkby Lonsdale, this part of our trip

0:34:00 > 0:34:05will conclude at an auction just outside Blackpool, in Cleveleys.

0:34:05 > 0:34:06# Da-da-da-da...#

0:34:06 > 0:34:09# To be beside the seaside

0:34:09 > 0:34:12# Beside the seaside Beside the sea! #

0:34:12 > 0:34:15You're looking a wee bit anxious there.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17"Wee bit" undersells it a bit.

0:34:17 > 0:34:21Come on, we'll have a good time.

0:34:21 > 0:34:25This is Smythes. It can be a bit of a squeeze.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28While the seasiders take a close look at the lots,

0:34:28 > 0:34:32let's hear what auctioneer Patrick Smythe thinks of what

0:34:32 > 0:34:33Phil and Anita have bought.

0:34:33 > 0:34:38I think the collar may present a bit of a challenge.

0:34:38 > 0:34:42But having said that, it's got the bonus of Philip Serrell's

0:34:42 > 0:34:45photo on it, so that might create a bit of excitement.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47The painting is the interesting one.

0:34:47 > 0:34:51Owen Bowen is a known Yorkshire artist. It should do all right.

0:34:51 > 0:34:55Anita began with £395.10,

0:34:55 > 0:35:00and she's spent just £113 on five auction lots.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Do you think you'd get it for 50p? - Probably not.

0:35:02 > 0:35:07Philip started out with £439.36,

0:35:07 > 0:35:12and he's splashed £230, also on five lots.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15Are these me, Alan?

0:35:15 > 0:35:17Let's get ready to auction.

0:35:17 > 0:35:19- The tension's unbearable.- I know.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22First up, Phil's gamble.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25The Yorkshire landscape and the little picture that sealed the deal.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27- This is yours!- Is it?

0:35:28 > 0:35:31What can I say to start it? Not worth 100?

0:35:31 > 0:35:34£50 for it? £50 bid.

0:35:34 > 0:35:37Five. At 55 bid. 60 can I say?.

0:35:37 > 0:35:40At £60 bid. 70 can I make it?

0:35:40 > 0:35:4370. 80. £80 bid.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46Now make it 90. 90.

0:35:46 > 0:35:50Are you all done at 90, for the last time at 90? All done at 90.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53That painting's worth more than it's just been sold for

0:35:53 > 0:35:55but at the end of the day...

0:35:55 > 0:35:56I'm going to cry!

0:35:56 > 0:36:00An even bigger loss after commission but it could've been much worse.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03My stuff coming up next,

0:36:03 > 0:36:06and I might be laughing on the other side of my face now!

0:36:06 > 0:36:10Cry "profit"! And let loose the dogs of Whimsy!

0:36:10 > 0:36:12Can I hear £20? Not worth £20?

0:36:12 > 0:36:15Well, I've ten bid.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17I've ten bid. At 12? 12.

0:36:17 > 0:36:2114. At 14 bid. At 14.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23For the last time at 14.

0:36:23 > 0:36:24That's on commission at 14.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26I think you've done very, very well.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28I think I've got away with that.

0:36:28 > 0:36:32Anita's not started any better, despite that appealing look.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35The porter's got your eye-testing chart.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37It must be next. It must be next.

0:36:37 > 0:36:41Well-spotted. 20/20, I'd say.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44There you are. Your own eye-testing kit.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46What can I say for that? Can I say ten?

0:36:46 > 0:36:47Five? At five pounds?

0:36:47 > 0:36:50I think I'm heading for a full house of losses here.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52Six pounds. At six pounds.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54We're climbing. We're climbing.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57All done? Sure?

0:36:57 > 0:36:59You lucky man.

0:36:59 > 0:37:04I hope they're not having fun at my expense here.

0:37:04 > 0:37:08It looks like no-one could see its worth, Phil.

0:37:08 > 0:37:12I'm beginning to wish I'd bought a Goblin teasmade or, you know...

0:37:12 > 0:37:13A strimmer?

0:37:13 > 0:37:14Yeah.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17Now this is quality. Apart from the chip, that is.

0:37:17 > 0:37:21Can I say £100 for it? Well, give me a bid for it? Can I have 30?

0:37:21 > 0:37:2440. At 40? 50? 60?

0:37:24 > 0:37:2670? 80?

0:37:26 > 0:37:30At £80? It's still cheap. 90. £90 bid.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33At 90. Another bidder. 100.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35There you are, darling.

0:37:35 > 0:37:38115. 120. 125.

0:37:38 > 0:37:39130.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41135.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43140.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45145. 150.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48155. 160.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51165. You're out?

0:37:51 > 0:37:54- At 165 then, only bid. All done? - Could've swum the Channel with it.

0:37:55 > 0:37:56I'm really happy with that.

0:37:56 > 0:38:00You're up, Philip. You haven't made any losses now. That's excellent.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03That sort of makes up for the paintings.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06Actually it's a bit of a result to have sold that

0:38:06 > 0:38:09- in the middle of the Hoovers and the vacuums!- Well done, Philip!

0:38:09 > 0:38:12Now, Cleveleys does like Canton,

0:38:12 > 0:38:15and Anita bought it cheap. Fingers crossed.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17May I say £50 to start it?

0:38:17 > 0:38:20Not worth 50? 40.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23I've 40 on the book. At 40. 42.

0:38:23 > 0:38:2544. 46.

0:38:25 > 0:38:2748. At 48 bid.

0:38:27 > 0:38:2950.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32Are we all done at £50? For the last time at 50?

0:38:32 > 0:38:33Yes!

0:38:33 > 0:38:35That's a real good profit, that is.

0:38:35 > 0:38:39If only they had bought more Canton.

0:38:39 > 0:38:43- Maybe we're getting into the swing of it, Philip.- Do you think so?

0:38:43 > 0:38:48Anita's chair, questionable reupholstering, but nice and dry.

0:38:48 > 0:38:5050 for it? Not worth 50?

0:38:50 > 0:38:53Well I've £20 bid for it.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56May I say 22? 22 bid.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58At 22 bid. 24 bid. At 24.

0:38:58 > 0:39:0326 can I say? At 24, it is then. Have you all done at 24 now?

0:39:03 > 0:39:05All done.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07That's made a pound.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09Or has it not lost a pound?

0:39:09 > 0:39:13Anything that doesn't lose today is a little triumph.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16You haven't got your mother bidding, have you? Are you sure?

0:39:16 > 0:39:20Phil's wee doggies, definitely '50s they now think.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23Quite unusual item, a collector's item. What can I say for it?

0:39:23 > 0:39:26Well I've ten bid. Ten. Ten.

0:39:26 > 0:39:30Can I hear 14? 16. £16 bid here.

0:39:30 > 0:39:34At £18 only bid. £20 can I make it?

0:39:34 > 0:39:38All done at 18. All finished?

0:39:38 > 0:39:40- 18, could've been worse.- Yeah.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43You know, I think they look a bit disappointed.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46Him too. Related?

0:39:46 > 0:39:50Now, will Anita's silver pep things up?

0:39:50 > 0:39:52Can I have 20 bid? At 20. Thank you, madam.

0:39:52 > 0:39:5622 bid. 24. 26.

0:39:56 > 0:39:5928. 30.

0:39:59 > 0:40:0032.

0:40:00 > 0:40:04- 32 at the back.- I think you've had a result with that.

0:40:04 > 0:40:0734. It's a cheap lot is this.

0:40:07 > 0:40:0934. For the last time at 34.

0:40:11 > 0:40:15- I think you had a result there, madam.- I think so as well.

0:40:15 > 0:40:19That is a blow, but then it's not Canton.

0:40:19 > 0:40:23The lady on my left keeps laughing. I don't know what's the matter.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25- She's enjoying herself.- Is she?

0:40:25 > 0:40:29OK, sports time. Anyone for Glidoball?

0:40:29 > 0:40:33Quite an unusual lot, that, so what can I say to start?

0:40:33 > 0:40:39It is original, it's in its original box, a high-tech game in its time.

0:40:40 > 0:40:41Can I say 30 for it?

0:40:41 > 0:40:45- Somebody's gone to a lot of trouble buying this.- Yes!

0:40:45 > 0:40:47I've £10 bid. £10 bid.

0:40:47 > 0:40:49Now, can I hear £12 for it?

0:40:49 > 0:40:5012? Thank you, sir.

0:40:50 > 0:40:5414. 16. 18.

0:40:54 > 0:40:5620.

0:40:56 > 0:41:0122. At 22. We've got two gentleman in the audience here.

0:41:01 > 0:41:06At 22. Will I hear 24 anyway? The highlight of the sale, this.

0:41:06 > 0:41:08- Well done, sir. 26.- (Yes!)

0:41:08 > 0:41:12Prayers have been answered. 26.

0:41:12 > 0:41:1328.

0:41:13 > 0:41:1530? Go on!

0:41:15 > 0:41:1830. At 30 it is.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20For the last time at 30. All done.

0:41:22 > 0:41:23Yes!

0:41:23 > 0:41:25Jolly good. You've made Anita's day.

0:41:25 > 0:41:28- Lord help us. Honestly.- Yes!

0:41:28 > 0:41:31If only the game itself was that much fun.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34I'm all that excited, I've made about two quid.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40Phil's last attempt to woo Cleveleys.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43The photo of Philip Serrell will swing this one.

0:41:43 > 0:41:44I don't think so!

0:41:44 > 0:41:47He's a pin-up!

0:41:47 > 0:41:50What can I say for the lot? £30?

0:41:50 > 0:41:52Not worth 30. £20?

0:41:52 > 0:41:54Can't go much less than that.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57- Oh, you can, trust me. - The photo alone's worth that!

0:41:57 > 0:42:01Well, it's a start. £10, the only bid. At £10, only bid.

0:42:01 > 0:42:0312. 14.

0:42:03 > 0:42:0616. 18. 20.

0:42:06 > 0:42:1022. 24. 26.

0:42:10 > 0:42:1228. 30.
