0:00:02 > 0:00:06It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with ?00 each,
0:00:06 > 0:00:10- a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.- That hurts.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Have I got it the right way up?
0:00:13 > 0:00:18The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:23- There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers. - I look like the Mad Hatter.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29I'm only in this programme to be Anita Manning's chauffeur.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44This week, the 1965 Sunbeam Alpine has carried experts Anita Manning and Philip Serrell
0:00:44 > 0:00:47across the north of England. It's been an eventful journey.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52I need somebody to help me. I need a mechanic.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54It's a great pity, as far as I'm concerned,
0:00:54 > 0:00:59that the government have abandoned the scrapping scheme, because that's where I'd put this.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Auctioneer Phil, from Worcester, is a man who likes to buy big.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07How much is the tractor?
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Anita from Glasgow, also an auctioneer sometimes forgets to buy at all.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17She is bonkers, honestly, completely bonkers.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Phil started this road trip with ?00
0:01:20 > 0:01:24and has built that up to a handsome ?75.86,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26employing some unusual tactics.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I don't want to do boring antiques, I want to go and buy something really daft again.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Anita also began with ?00
0:01:32 > 0:01:38and has turned that into an only slightly less impressive ?06.74.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42The bond between Phil and Anita has grown strong
0:01:42 > 0:01:46and, as their last road trip gets underway, they just take a moment.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- It's the last leg.- Yeah, I know.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Are you going to miss me? - Yeah, I've enjoyed this trip you know, really I have.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- You've been jolly good company. - Ah, it's been great.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- Are you going to catch me up today? - Well, you never know. I can be a dark horse.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02So can I. I'm going to leave you here.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Wait for me.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07This week the road trip started out in Ford in the far north of England,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10ventured into Scotland, before winding its way southwards
0:02:10 > 0:02:15and will conclude today at Harrogate in Yorkshire.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19The final leg takes our pair of experts from Eccleston in Lancashire
0:02:19 > 0:02:22across the Pennines to the grand finale in Harrogate.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Eccleston sits on the River Yarrow,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32is one of the boroughs of St Helens and was once home to their rugby league team.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Hoping of conversions of bargains into profits,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39our two experts both start their shopping together.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Here we are, eventually.- This place looks massive, doesn't it?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- Right, let's go then.- OK.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- I'll race you. - No, no, no. Hey, no racing.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Phil and Anita's first stop is Bygone Times in Eccleston.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Good luck.- And to you.- Not too much.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00A collection of individual stalls housed in an old weaving mill
0:03:00 > 0:03:05that used to make parachutes during the Second World War. Chocks away!
0:03:05 > 0:03:09The trouble with a place like this is that it's absolutely massive.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13And so you've got to just try and, you know.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16It really is a question of seeing the wood for the trees.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Anita has beaten a path to this big boy.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Philip thinks I make a lot of noise.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25With that big drum I could make a lot more noise.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- It must appeal to her- bass - instincts. Ticket price, ?8.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33It's a bass drum.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I don't know anything about it. I don't know how old it is,
0:03:37 > 0:03:42but I do like it and I think it's quite good fun, and it seems in perfect working order.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I'm no expert on percussion but I'd say that's working.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48That's great fun, isn't it?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Phil, meanwhile, is dancing to the beat of a different drum.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Now, that is good fun, isn't it?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59The old melody's still there, isn't it? You know, I haven't lost it.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01So, that's a bit dodge.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04That clearly doesn't work at all.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07There's something missing here.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09The snare drum doesn't work,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12there's no bass drum pedal and the high-hat's broken.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Apart from that, it's fine. Walk away, Phil.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20At the other side of this huge complex, Anita is getting into her rhythm,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23haggling down the phone with the absent owner of the bass drum.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Can you bring that down to about 30 quid?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30?0.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Oh, that sounds great.
0:04:34 > 0:04:40Now, what I want to do is to buy the wee music stand as well.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42You've got that in at 6.50.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Could I buy that at ??
0:04:47 > 0:04:51The lot for 30? You are a darling.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Interesting haggling technique, that. The owner has taken less than Anita offered.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59She's given me both of them for ?0. Isn't that lovely?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Come on, Phil, time to start buying.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I think that's a really nice thing.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09That's a scribe for marking out mortise and tenon joints
0:05:09 > 0:05:11when you're making a piece of furniture.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13It's in rosewood and brass.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16You look at the calibre of that and the workmanship in that.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I think this one's got some cheap things.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Phil wants a closer look. If we can just get this cabinet open.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Have you got the right keys yet? - Have you got the right key yet?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- I have.- Are you sure? - Definitely.- Really?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38That's all right, I've changed my mind now, thanks. I don't want anything.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41That's lovely, isn't it?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I just think that's a really lovely thing.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47And what happens is, that block should move.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51And then this thing here moves up and down there.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53And then you mark the piece of timber like that.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56This is a Stanley spirit level, isn't it?
0:05:56 > 0:06:01So this was made in 1896 and it's American, so... I never knew that.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04So Stanley tools must have originated in America.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Phil's thinking of making up a job lot of tools.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10When did you develop this passion for DIY, Phil?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Oh, look at that. Can I have a look at that thing there, please?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Which is a... What is that?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It's a Ward Payne mortise lock chisel.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25That's a serious taparooney-booney, that is.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Ah! A taparooney-booney. You don't see many of those about these days.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32So can I have a look at that as well, please?
0:06:35 > 0:06:40And that's a mortise chisel. So, presumably, that would have,
0:06:40 > 0:06:45you'd have gauged the wood out with that, that you'd marked,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47so there's a bit of a connection between the two, isn't there?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49How much is that?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53That's ?9. What else have we got?
0:06:54 > 0:06:5919 and 9 is... How much is 19 and 9?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01You should have bought a slide rule, Phil.
0:07:01 > 0:07:0328 and 12.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06That's, sort of, 40 quid, isn't it?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Inner sanctum. Come on, in we go.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Time for some tough talking, best done in the secrecy of the staff room.
0:07:14 > 0:07:1820 squid. You can't do any better than that? 20 squid.
0:07:20 > 0:07:2225?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25You're doing this job well, aren't you? Go on, 20 quid.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Go on then, it's a deal. - You're a gentleman. Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33The real joy of this is that if they do fail at auction, I've always got a new career, haven't I?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Great, Phil is up and running.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39And Anita's money is obviously burning a hole in her pocket.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Look at those lampshades. They're fabulous, aren't they? - Do you think so?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Yes. Is that modern, is that new? - It will be, yeah.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Do you like that type of stuff? I see it's got a sort of retro feel.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I like it but I wouldn't have it in my house.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59I wouldn't have it in my shed, even for a mere ?2 asking price.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02It's the lime green, it's just so obscene.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07I like it because it's so in-your-face
0:08:07 > 0:08:10It's a thing that somebody will either love or hate.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14But it's a bit of fun about it.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17You know, it's looking back to the 1960s
0:08:17 > 0:08:19and I remember the 1960s myself.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Can you do me a deal on it? - We can do it for 6.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27- You can do it for 6?- Yes. - That's a deal. Thank you very, very much. Thank you.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Do you think I'll make a profit on that?- No.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I think Phil will think that this is probably the most horrible thing
0:08:36 > 0:08:38that has been bought on the Antiques Road Trip.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Well, I think that's a bit unfair
0:08:40 > 0:08:45but I still don't think he'll like it much. Oh, careful, Anita.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Now, what's Phil messing about with?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Well, this is a wool-winder and you're in the wool area
0:08:52 > 0:08:56and mills are prevalent.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59This is an old mill. And I just think this is just a real cool thing.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05Like an old, married couple, Phil and Anita are starting to think with one mind.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Because on the other side of this huge emporium...
0:09:08 > 0:09:10And this is a wool-winder.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14And I think that this would be a nice thing
0:09:14 > 0:09:16to buy in this building.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20I think it must be Victorian. It's ?75, which is a lot of money,
0:09:20 > 0:09:21but I want to spend some money.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24If you're going to put something into auction,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26you've got to buy things that you can't put a price on.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30So if you buy a Worcester figure or a Doulton vase or a whatever,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33all you've got to do is look it up on any price guide site
0:09:33 > 0:09:35and it will give you the value of it.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Go find one of those. Well, you might do,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39but it's going to be harder to find.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Phil decides that his wool-winder is worth a punt.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44So it's off to the front desk
0:09:44 > 0:09:47to see if there's any give on the ?0 ticket price.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49The thing is, I've got to be tactically clever here,
0:09:49 > 0:09:53cos Anita's about ?0 or ?0 behind me,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55so I've got to try and box clever.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Buy mean, but at the same time, buy things I like or are interesting.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01This is a real good bit of fun.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Now watch my lips, Paul. 25 quid.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Go on, have a deal.- Go on then. - Good man! Right, I've got to get polishing now.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Have you got any Brasso and a duster, please?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Anita also wants to get a good price for her wool-winder.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17The dealer isn't around, so she must negotiate with Emma,
0:10:17 > 0:10:18one of the assistants at the centre.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I can take 10% off that, then, without contacting them.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Right, OK. It's at 175.
0:10:24 > 0:10:2910% off, that's taking me to about 160.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Would I be able to buy that for,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34say...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36...130?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Yeah, I'll do it.- You'll do that?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Yeah. No problem. - You're a wonderful Lancashire lass.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- No problem.- Thank you very much. - All right, thank you.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47I feel quite touched. I got it for 130.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I don't know what it's worth. I don't know how it works.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54But it makes me think about Lancashire.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Two antiques experts, two wool-winders.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01There's the robust, down to earth model,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04and the classy, elegant, but more expensive end of the market.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Did you have a nice time? - I had a really good time.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Good, wasn't it? - Clearly, you did well.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I enjoyed it, I enjoyed it.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Tell me a woman that doesn't enjoy shopping.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Some money has been spent, some items bought.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21So I think Phil can take his foot off the pedal for a while
0:11:21 > 0:11:23and do a bit of sightseeing.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Anita drives him the six short miles
0:11:26 > 0:11:28from Eccleston to Chorley.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- That's a lovely house, that. - I'm looking forward to this.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36See you later. Have a good one. Spend lots of money.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I love that house.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Phil is off to meet Pamela, who's going to show him round Astley Hall.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44And you've brought the weather with you.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48There's been a property on this site since the 16th century,
0:11:48 > 0:11:52with much of the current house being designed and built in the 1660s,
0:11:52 > 0:11:56when Richard Brooke married the heiress to Astley Hall, Margaret Charnock.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58It's famous for its plasterwork ceilings
0:11:58 > 0:12:01and, no doubt, Phil will be looking forward to seeing those.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Can I look at your kitchen? - Yes.- Which way do we go?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Or the kitchen(!) I'm sure the kitchen is lovely too.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13This is a fantastic room. I love these things here.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- That's a lump of sugar.- It is, yeah.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Because that's how, before granulated sugar...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- And these are for cutting the sugar. - They are.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23The social history of seeing that and that
0:12:23 > 0:12:25as your sugar is fantastic.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30It's the arrival, isn't it, of sugar during the Tudor period?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Now, Phil. The ceilings. Can we see the ceilings?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35That's a fantastic door.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38The whole of the panelling in this room is absolutely fantastic.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- Oh wow, let me look.- The door is simply part of the panelling
0:12:42 > 0:12:44that fits into the whole of the room.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46That's just fantastic, isn't it?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49And now that the gilded work has been restored,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51doesn't it have a fantastic reflection against it?
0:12:51 > 0:12:55It's just, you know, a massively expensive timber, that.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Absolutely, for the period, yeah.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01It's a very fine door, but the ceilings,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03they might be worth a passing glance(!)
0:13:08 > 0:13:11These magnificent 17th century ceilings
0:13:11 > 0:13:14are often said to be amongst the finest in England.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18The plaster is made of a mixture of mud, horse hair and wine,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21with some of the figures made of leather and lead.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24You know, you say about the social history aspect of it?
0:13:24 > 0:13:25I feel that's the bit I like about it.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29It's just showing off the wealth of the Brooke family.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33This young couple, they get married and it does celebrate their marriage.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38You've got all the little cupids. You've got... I think that's a little dove that he's holding.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43The 3D 17th century magnificence couldn't fail to be appreciated
0:13:43 > 0:13:46by a man of breeding and culture such as Phil.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48He's in for a real treat.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51You know, hand on heart, genuinely, I don't like this.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Oh.- I just find it a bit overpowering,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56a bit scary, and it's a bit the stuff of nightmares for me.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- But that doesn't mean that you can't appreciate it.- No.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01There's a corn on the cob over there, look.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Exactly, and that is what the Brooke family are trying to say, aren't they?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08They're reflecting new foods.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11It's reflecting their wealth. They can afford...
0:14:11 > 0:14:16They're trying to show that they can afford this type of food that's come from the Americas.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19The work in it is unbelievable, isn't it?
0:14:19 > 0:14:23There's not that many buildings with this type of ceiling left in them
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- and that's why people come here. - You say not many.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I wouldn't profess to be the most travelled person,
0:14:27 > 0:14:29but I've never seen a ceiling like this.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I tell you something, I mean, I can really appreciate this,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37but I'm definitely going to go to bed tonight with the lights on, let me tell you.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47Meanwhile, Anita has driven just over 12 miles, from Astley Hall to Darwen.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49She has already bought three items
0:14:49 > 0:14:52and is hoping to find a couple more in this Aladdin's cave.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57This is very, very interesting.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Oh gees, it's lovely to see you. - Nice to meet you, lovely.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02This is...wow!
0:15:04 > 0:15:08This is fabulous. This is like an adventure playground.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Anita has to generate ?0 on Phil
0:15:12 > 0:15:14to win this week's road trip.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18She needs to find something that will make some serious cash.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20There is stuff everywhere.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Everywhere.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31If that's a watercolour, it's a nice watercolour.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35On the other hand, if it's a print, a copy of the original painting,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37it won't be worth nearly as much.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Shop owner, Stephen, can give us some background on the artist.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44He lives in the same village as me. Adrian Rigby.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- He's quite well known. - Is this a watercolour or a print?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I think so. I think it's a watercolour, yeah.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53I'm not sure. To be absolutely 100% sure, you'd need to have it out.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Yeah, I know.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- How much is it?- ?0.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01?0? For what might be a print?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Be careful, Anita.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05There's so much stuff here. I'm going to leave that there
0:16:05 > 0:16:08and I'm going to think about that strongly.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Shop owner Stephen can sense Anita is keen on the bird
0:16:11 > 0:16:13and comes up with an intriguing offer.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15A former colleague who actually bought this.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18He remembers, he bought it from a from a charity shop.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21He thinks it's definitely a watercolour and he said,
0:16:21 > 0:16:25if you buy it, he'll donate half back to the charity.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- No pressure there. - That sounds great.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I'll tell you, there's another thing that I fancied.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Something completely different.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I looked at this wee darling here.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40It's got a lovely, naive quality.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- The horse has a twinkle in its eye.- Yeah.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I quite like that as well. Is that very expensive?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- No, he's buyable, I think. - He's buyable.- I think it is.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- But you don't know how much money I've got left.- No, I don't, no.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- 85.- 85.- Yeah.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- Doesn't cost a lot to feed.- Doesn't cost a lot to feed.- It doesn't, no.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01If I bought the two of them together,
0:17:01 > 0:17:04could I be in the region of 100 quid?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06GASPS
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Is that sore?- Very sore!- Is it?
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- Is it lethally sore? - Almost.- Is it?- Almost.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15165 and you've offered 100.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21So what about we split the difference at 135?
0:17:23 > 0:17:24What about 125?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Done.- You are a darling. Thank you so much.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33So, Anita has now spent ?91 on five lots
0:17:33 > 0:17:36and is nicely positioned for the auction in Harrogate.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- It's all going very well. - Thank you.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Which is more than can be said for the car.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- Got it.- Hurray!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50That's better. Anita heads off to pick up Phil
0:17:50 > 0:17:55and then it's off to the hotel for a well-earned rest after a busy day shopping.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Oh. The car has other ideas.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04The clutch. Neutral.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09The car is going nowhere fast. And it's rush hour.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11She's not going to be popular. Uh-oh.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Here's a nice young man coming along to her rescue.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Do you know anything about cars? - Maybe not.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I need somebody to help me. I need a mechanic.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Meanwhile, Phil waits patiently.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Just when all seems lost, a white van man comes to the rescue.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I can have a quick look if you want?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Come on. You're a pair of darlings.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I've got a friend who's a mechanic. Do you want me to get him here?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Is that all right?- Yeah, yeah, he'll be all right. I'll ring him up now.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41They've got a pal who's a mechanic
0:18:41 > 0:18:43and they're going to phone him
0:18:43 > 0:18:46and see if he'll come up and give us a hand.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Aren't they nice? Quite good-looking as well.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Meanwhile, Phil waits patiently.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56What's it done?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Has it just stopped? - It's just stopped.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03A pair of jump leads seem to be the solution.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04This is like a wee party, isn't it?
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- They look like they've been to better parties.- There we go.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10CHEERING
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I don't know why it stopped but I know it's running.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Meanwhile, Phil's called a cab. Night-night.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28The next morning, and on the way to the first shop of the day,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Anita reflects on her car trouble of yesterday.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34She is being a little temperamental at the moment.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35She's doing not too badly this morning.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37That's cos we haven't changed gear yet.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Yesterday Anita spent ?91 on five items,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45including a wool-winder and this big bass drum.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Phil spent ?5. He also bought a wool-winder,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55together with a collection of joiner's tools.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57It's a serious taparooney-booney, that is.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00The pair are ultimately heading to Harrogate.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05And the first drive today takes them from Darwen to Haslingden.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- This looks rather nice, Philip. - It's lovely, isn't it?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Anita isn't planning to buy any more items,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16so she's on Easy Street this morning.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I feel very, very relaxed today
0:20:20 > 0:20:22because I've bought five items,
0:20:22 > 0:20:27I like them all. I'm under no pressure to buy any more.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Phil, on the other hand, has only a couple of auction lots,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32so he needs to get cracking.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Phil Serrell is under pressure
0:20:36 > 0:20:39and that's exactly where I like him to be.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42That's an interesting thing. What on earth is it?
0:20:42 > 0:20:46I quite like that but what on earth it is,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48how old it is and what it does, I haven't got a clue.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Maybe shop owner Peter can help him out here.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- What do you think that is, then? - We've had several ideas,
0:20:53 > 0:20:57but the one that we're settling on, we think it's a viscosity tester.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Viscosity is the stickiness of liquid, for want of a better word, isn't it?
0:21:01 > 0:21:05So you actually put the oil on, put the block on,
0:21:05 > 0:21:09and then raise the gradient until, obviously, you get the movement
0:21:09 > 0:21:12to give you the viscosity of that liquid.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I think you've got a very vivid imagination, sir.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Phil's found another item that's just the ticket.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Now there's a sellable lot, if ever I saw one.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22It's a ticket collector's thingy, look,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24off a bus or a train or something.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Oh, I think we've got to have a look at that.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29How could you possibly live your life without having...
0:21:29 > 0:21:32"any more fares?" I think those are fun as well.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Those carpet bowls, we better have a look at those.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38They do what they say on the tin.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40They're a set of bowls that you play on the carpet inside.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42So when it was raining and you couldn't get onto the bowling green,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45you got your carpet bowls out and you played on the carpet.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Phil lines up his three potential buys at the front desk.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Time to start bargaining.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Right, so we've got a real sporting lot here, haven't we?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- That looks like you've got a price on for ?8.- Yes.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- That was priced up at how much?- 45.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Right, that's 45. And that's 42.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- Well, individually, I mean, that could be 15.- OK.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- That's going to have to be in the region of ?0.- OK.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13And these, again, in the region of ?0.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Right. I'm going to pass on that. I think it's a great lot, that. But I just...
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I think it's too much of a gamble at auction.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20OK, so now we're down to two items.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23The carpet bowls and the mystery slope.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I'm going to definitely buy that, cos I think it's lunacy, I mean,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28how can you sell what you don't even know what it is?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32So, now, can I give you 30 quid for the two?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36No. No, I can't do that.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- If you do 35 for the two, I'll have the two.- I can do 40 for the two.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43OK. Put that one over there. What's the best on that one?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- 15.- OK.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- I'm going to buy that. I'm definitely going to buy that. I'll have just that, thank you.- OK.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53It looks like Phil is walking away with just one item.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Although, the last minute arrival
0:22:55 > 0:22:58of the owner of the ticket machine could change things.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I would give you a tenner for it but I wouldn't give you any more for it than that.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Give us 15 quid and we'll call it right.
0:23:04 > 0:23:0612 quid and I'll give you a first class ticket.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Go on then. - You're a gent. Oh, hold on.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Oh look, it's broken there, look.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- You've bought it now. - You're a gentleman. Thank you very much indeed.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20Once the deal is done, Anita returns to see how Phil's been getting on.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Hi Phil, how are you doing? - Yeah, really well. You?- Good.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- I've got something for you. Yeah. - Oh, bus tickets? Thank you very much.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- Is the car not going? 13 pence.- That's second class.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Cardiff?- Yes, Cardiff. Bye-bye.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Cardiff will have to wait, as Phil is offering Anita a luxury,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41no expense spared, chauffeur-driven trip
0:23:41 > 0:23:43from Haslingden to Burnley.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Oh, looks like they've put the flags out.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Our duo couldn't really visit Lancashire without at least one trip to a cotton mill.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56And what a mill this is.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Queen's Street Mill, operated from 1895 until 1982,
0:24:00 > 0:24:05and once housed over 1,000 working looms.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07It's now Grade 1 listed
0:24:07 > 0:24:10and has Scheduled Ancient Monument status.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Anita is meeting up with Conrad Varley.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14- Hello Anita.- Hello.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18- Welcome to Queen's Street Mill. - Oh, thank you very much.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I've been so excited about coming here because this is the last working mill.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25The last working mill, as such, in the world.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I mean, at one period there was 100 mills of this size
0:24:28 > 0:24:31producing plain calico.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35So, at one period, there was more looms than people that actually lived in Burnley.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40By 1982, calico production on such a scale was no longer financially viable,
0:24:40 > 0:24:44and Queen's Street became a working museum.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Over 300 working looms are preserved in the weaving shed.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53For once, Anita is not the loudest thing in the room.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Shame Phil's not here to see it.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57What a noise!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01You used to have to work in this eight hours per day.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06- How did they communicate?- Well, the method was called mee-mawing.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- Mee-mowing?- Yes, but that was sort of like reading people's lips.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13I would have said, "Hello, Anita".
0:25:13 > 0:25:18- And I would say back, "Hello, Conrad".- You've got it.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21It's so loud that I've got to get out of here.
0:25:22 > 0:25:28These looms are still powered by the factory's huge tandem compound steam engine.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33The steam for that engine comes from the boilers, lovingly tended by boiler man Terry.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39It's a Lancashire boiler. It's 30 foot long.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41It's eight foot in diameter.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45And, as you can see, the working level of water is water from there, right down to the base.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49And we are, in fact, boiling 5,000 gallons of water.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52So there's plenty of cups of tea or plenty of water for showers.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55What we have...
0:25:55 > 0:25:56- is that.- Wow!
0:25:58 > 0:26:02One man would actually run both boilers in his day.
0:26:02 > 0:26:08And, if you just have a look at the coal there, that was a morning's work.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10There's three ton of coal there, approximately.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14And he went through six ton of coal per day, one man, all on his own.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Do you think if anybody can shovel coal, I could have a wee shot?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- Oh, yes, certainly. We've got some gloves here.- All right.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24What we'll do is we just go through.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Right. Small bit.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31And try and swing.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Right.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Just a wee drop. Right.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Hey!
0:26:45 > 0:26:46You've done it before.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50That's the life of a Lancashire boiler man. They were very proud men,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54all the brasses were always cleaned. They were very proud of what they did down here.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- You're quite proud of what you do? - Oh yes. Yes. Yeah, it's mine.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- It's as simple as that.- It's your baby.- It's mine. Yeah.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04As Anita struggles to build up a head of steam,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Phil is in much the same position.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Needing to buy and buy quickly for the auction in Harrogate,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12he's heading to Whalley.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15This large village is famous for the Whalley Arches,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19a 48-span viaduct that crosses the Ribble Valley.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23It dates from 1850 and contains 7 million bricks.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Phil will be hoping that Whalley has other old items of interest,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30as he still needs to fill his swag bag for the auction.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34So, a quick hello to shop owner, Philip Davies, and he's up and running.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36And how much is that, there's no price on it?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38I quite like those, how much are they?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- And what about all these corkscrews? - They're a tenner each.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Yeah, and those are?- They're a fiver each.- And how much is that one?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46I say, Phil, steady on.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- OK, let's have a look round then. - Do have a look.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51And what would that be to a local collector? 3 and a half thousand?
0:27:51 > 0:27:54And how much is that? How much is that?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56And how much would a little wall clock like that one be?
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Finally, Phil sees sense and calls in a little local knowledge.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Right, I'm going to need your help. I'm thinking that I need to go down
0:28:04 > 0:28:07somewhere between the 20 and 40 quid route.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11And I don't know, is there anything you would suggest to me?
0:28:11 > 0:28:15The owner points Phil in the direction of a four-piece cruet collection.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20- Are these old figures, these? - 1900, 1920s.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22They're continental, aren't they?
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Either that or Scottish, you know, Portobello.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31Colourful little characters from Scotland? I'd have thought you'd had enough of them, Phil.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- And how much are those? - They can be ?0 each.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39I think I quite like those two, actually. There's a salt and a pepper.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Can I give you 15 quid for those two?- No, 20.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Go on then, I'll have those two off you.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- There we are.- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Thank you, Philip.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Just across the road is a shop that Phil simply couldn't resist.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02The shop is called Country Furniture, but that doesn't really do it justice.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04How much is the tractor?
0:29:04 > 0:29:09This is a shop that will appeal to Philip's penchant for the big bits of stuff.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13Those are lovely, those are hitching posts for horses.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17So you'd have those outside your, sort of, country house,
0:29:17 > 0:29:19and you just hitch up to them.
0:29:19 > 0:29:24Phil's favourite items are those that take at least three people to lift.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29These cast iron beauties are either hitching posts or stable ends,
0:29:29 > 0:29:32used as decoration in construction of riding stables.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36They have a ticket price of ?00, the pair.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37I'm definitely going to have these, right.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40I'm definitely going to have these cos I think they're great fun.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46You'll have to be quick, Phil. Looks like there's another interested party.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48I'd like to try and buy them for 80 or 100 quid, the two.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Phil has to pay the full 100 for the horses
0:29:51 > 0:29:54but that could still be a good each-way bet.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59He hands over the cash to the very shy shop owner and the deal is done.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04Phil's hoping these two will be cast iron certainties at the auction.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06OK, it's time for the big reveal.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- D'you want to see what I've bought? - Yes, let's go for it. - Right, you ready?
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- A wool-winder.- It's a tensioner.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Right, right. Well, I love this type of thing.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25I really do like it. But what I'd like to know is what is that?
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Well, it's a really well-made thingy.
0:30:28 > 0:30:33Those, the gentleman in the shop told me they were Portobello, Edinburgh.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- Right, OK.- But I've got no idea.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- What sort of prices did you pay? I paid ?5 for that.- That's all right.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41- I paid ?0 for these two.- Good.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44I paid ?5 for my tools
0:30:44 > 0:30:47and I paid 12 quid for my On The Buses.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51Philip! Why did you buy an old bus ticket machine?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53I thought I could get rid of you with it.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- What, to go to Cardiff? - There is one other thing.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- There's one other thing? - I bought these.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- Oh, they're fabulous. - And I paid a lot for these.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- What did you pay? - Well, I paid ?00 for them.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- I don't think that's dear, Philip. - I don't know.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- Come on, let's have a look at yours.- Right.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Let's get...
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Is this a case of great minds think alike?
0:31:16 > 0:31:18No, I think it's more anything I can do, you can do better.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22But I love these. I absolutely love these.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25And this is typical of, sort of, mill area, isn't it?
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Well, you see, I have fallen in love with Lancashire.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32What is that?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- Are you going to wear it? - It's a wee hat.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Widow Twankey. You didn't buy that?
0:31:36 > 0:31:39I bought that. I couldn't resist it.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41- How much was that?- ?.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Listen, it took me back to the '60s.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48It took me back to the time of lime green and shocking pink.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51I think you're absolutely right. No, it is shocking.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53That is truly up there
0:31:53 > 0:31:55with some of the worst things I've ever seen in my life.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- Philip.- What? - This is so bad that it's good.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Come on, let's see what else you've got. What's this?
0:32:01 > 0:32:05It's a watercolour by a Lancashire artist.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07I don't know very much about him
0:32:07 > 0:32:09but I know enough
0:32:09 > 0:32:12to know that that is a very competent work.
0:32:12 > 0:32:17- Good subject.- I paid ?25
0:32:18 > 0:32:20for the horse and the watercolour.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- So that's 60 quid a piece or whatever. - 60 quid a piece, just about.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- And how much was your wool-winder? - I paid ?30 for it.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- And Philip, you know how you think that I make a lot of noise?- Yes.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Well, what do you think about...
0:32:35 > 0:32:39- ...this? - This is the last leg, isn't it?
0:32:39 > 0:32:42And I bought a big bass drum.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45And a big banger.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51- Fantastic.- Great minds think alike. Wool-winders, horses.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- Absolutely right.- We have a theme.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Rubbish.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Get out of here. Do not hit that drum, thank you.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03But what do they really think?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Well, I'm seriously underwhelmed by Philip's items.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09I think they're all right, but they're just all right.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- But- has been redeemed
0:33:11 > 0:33:16by buying those wonderful cast iron horse posts. I really like them.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20They might be the thing to get him out of a hole.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23I like her watercolour, I think that's a good thing.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27And I think the old whirligig, the wool-winder, I love that to bits,
0:33:27 > 0:33:29so, you know, it'll be an interesting one, this.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32After starting out in Eccleston in Lancashire,
0:33:32 > 0:33:35the last part of our trip will end up in Harrogate,
0:33:35 > 0:33:39soon to be On-Sea if this rain keeps up(!)
0:33:39 > 0:33:43I got to tell you, I don't care if I'm never, ever, ever,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46sitting in this car ever, ever, ever again.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- I love this little car.- You love it? Well, you're more than welcome.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51OK, Serrell.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- That's just fantastic. - Stop moaning.- Shut up.
0:33:56 > 0:34:02Phil and Anita have entered their items into a general sale at Thompsons auctions in Harrogate.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06It's a busy old place but, if you turn up early, you can usually find a seat.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11As the regulars hunt for bargains, auctioneer Laurence Peat gives us his honest opinion.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Well, my initial reaction when the lots came in,
0:34:15 > 0:34:19I was a little bit surprised with the standard lamp, to say the least.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22I thought that might have been a freebie. But I don't know what they paid for it,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25but we'll see if we can make profit for them.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27The horses were very different, without a doubt.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Quite a unique item.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Let's hope we've got the right buyers here for them today.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Anita began with ?06.74
0:34:37 > 0:34:41and she spent a total of ?91 on five auction lots.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44D'you know, it's great when you buy things that you love.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48Phil started out with ?75.86
0:34:48 > 0:34:53and has spent ?92, also on five auction lots.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55You never know when a stretcher might come in useful.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59As they prepare for the last auction of the week, there's everything to play for.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Anita only needs to make up ?0.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- OK, Phil.- Are you ready? - Last one. Am I going to catch up?
0:35:07 > 0:35:11- It's just fun, isn't it? - No. It's all about winning, this.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17First up, the ticket machine. Will this prove to be a first class bargain?
0:35:17 > 0:35:22I have to start on commission here at ?8. 40 anywhere?
0:35:22 > 0:35:26It is with me at 38, do I see 40? It seems cheap at 38. 40. 42. 45.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- 45?- That's ridiculous.
0:35:30 > 0:35:3348 with me. One more, you might be lucky.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- 50, thank you. At ?0.- ?0!
0:35:35 > 0:35:39It's good value at 50. All done, I'm going to sell at ?0.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Well done, you big chancer.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Who says you can't make money out of public transport?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49It's not about winning, as long as I do,
0:35:49 > 0:35:51it's just about taking part. All right?
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Second up today are Phil's salt and pepper pots.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Start here with me on commission at ?8. 20 anywhere?
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Bid is with me at 18, do I see 20? 20, 22 and 25.
0:36:02 > 0:36:0525 in the room at ?5. At 25, any advance on 25?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07I haven't lost any money on those. I'm happy with that.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11?5, I'm going to sell at ?5.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14That's what they deserved, they were a nice, sweet pair. You haven't lost any money.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Phil's salts away. A ? profit on the cruet set.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20It's your tools and that slopey-dopey thing.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - They've got "engineer's slope", not slopey-dopey.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- No, I thought engineer's slope. - It's a dopey that's bought the slopey.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31It's Phil's tools up next, sold as a combined lot of five.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36Starting on commission at ?8. 30, 32 and 35.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39In the room at 35, 38, 40, 42, 45.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44- You're in profit, Phil. - 52, 55. 55, sir?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- 55, 58, 60, 62.- Go on, you beauty.
0:36:47 > 0:36:5165, 68. Are you sure?
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- Smile.- 65 at the back. At 65. 68, new bidder.
0:36:54 > 0:36:5670, 72, 75,
0:36:56 > 0:37:0078, 80, 82.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02No, 80 at the back. At ?0, at 80.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Are we all done? I'm going to sell at ?0.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- I'm pleased with that. - That's a great result.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Just the right tools for the job.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Phil more than doubles his money there.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- Stop smiling.- Stop poking me, please.- Stop smiling.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19It's a shift change of the auctioneers.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24Kate Higgins takes over to try and sell the first of the two wool-winders.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28This is Anita's classy model.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31She's high hopes of making big money with this.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Start the bidding at 50, 55 anywhere? 55 in the room.
0:37:35 > 0:37:3960 anywhere else? Gentleman's bid here at 55, do I see 60?
0:37:39 > 0:37:44In the room at ?5, selling now at ?5. 278.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47I bombed. I bombed.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Ouch. That hurts.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54Anita's wool-winder winds up losing her ?5.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56What's the state of play at the minute?
0:37:56 > 0:37:59It's too complic... I'm too depressed to even count my money.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03Phil's cheaper lot is up now in the big battle of the wool-winders.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Start the bidding at 100, 110 anywhere?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10On commission at 100, do I see 110?
0:38:10 > 0:38:15110, 120. No, still on commission at 120, 130 now.
0:38:15 > 0:38:20- Have they got the right wool-winder? - On commission at ?20.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26I'm just absolutely flabbergasted.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30No, it's not a wind-up. Phil's wool-winder wins.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Actually, I'll tell you what, you've got to laugh, haven't you?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38So my wool-winder, my grotty little wool-winder,
0:38:38 > 0:38:40has just made double what yours has made.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Maybe this will drum up some much needed profit for Anita.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48- Start me at ?0. 10 anywhere? - I've just...
0:38:48 > 0:38:5315 with the lady. 20 anywhere else? Lady's bid here at 15. 20 now.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57In the room at ?5. Selling now, on my left at ?5.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00You're having a good sort of day, really, aren't you, so far?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Anita is looking well and truly beaten.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07I think this is the one that I've got to put all the money on.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- Is it?- Hi-ho Silver. Let's hope he gets away.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Maybe the rocking horse will be a better bet.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17His name is Silver, start me at ?0. 20 anywhere?
0:39:17 > 0:39:20?0, surely. 20 we have, do I see 25?
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Gentleman's bid here at 20. 5 anywhere?
0:39:23 > 0:39:28In the room here at 20. Are we finished? 25, 30. 35.
0:39:30 > 0:39:3340 here. 45 anywhere else? Seated bid at ?0.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Are we finished? Selling in the room at ?0.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- Oh, Philip.- Silver trails in at the back of the field.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44And that's another loss for Anita.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47That was the one that I was counting on.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- So I'm going to struggle here. - That's sad.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55It's going to have to be green lamp to the rescue.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Standard lamp with lime green shade, ?0.
0:39:58 > 0:40:0110 anywhere? ?. 5 do we have?
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Anybody at ?? 5 we have, at the back of the room, do I see 8?
0:40:05 > 0:40:09In the room at ?, selling now at ?.
0:40:09 > 0:40:14- Is that everything's just dived? - Everything has not just dived,
0:40:14 > 0:40:16it has sunk to the bottom.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Look on the bright side. At least you won't have to take it home.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Are you ecstatic?- No, I'm not,
0:40:23 > 0:40:25I'm getting very anxious about my bloomin' horse posts.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Back to Phil now, and the hitching posts.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Start me at ?0. ?0 surely?
0:40:32 > 0:40:3450 we have. 60 anywhere?
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Gentleman's bid here at 50.
0:40:36 > 0:40:3960, 70, 80, 90.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41- On my right here at 90. - It's a result, I think.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44100 anywhere else? In the room at ?0.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Selling, gentleman's bid at ?0.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51I know that in the right place,
0:40:51 > 0:40:53I think those are ?-400's worth.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Ah, you won't be the first punter to lose a tenner on the horses.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01My last lot is coming up, my very nice watercolour.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04And it's a good subject and I really like it.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08This really has to fly if Anita is going to catch Phil.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Signed Adrian C. Rigby, watercolour of an eagle,
0:41:12 > 0:41:14and 40 bid, 45 now.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17On commission at 40, do I see 45?
0:41:17 > 0:41:20With me now at ?0, are we finished? 45 in the room.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23- 50 anywhere else?- (Come on!)
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Gentleman's bid at ?.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28That's every single one.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33The eagle has failed. And Anita's last hope has gone.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37Well, we better go and start the sieve up for the last time, hadn't we? Come on.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Not Anita's best day. She lost money on every lot.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46She started this leg with ?06.74
0:41:46 > 0:41:50and, after auction costs, has lost ?59.80,
0:41:50 > 0:41:54leaving her with a total for the week of ?46.94.
0:41:56 > 0:42:01Phil fared a bit better. Starting with ?75.86,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04he has made a profit of ?07.30,
0:42:04 > 0:42:08giving him a total for the week of ?83.16.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14That makes Phil Serrell the overall winner of this week's road trip.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20All the profits our experts make will be donated to Children In Need.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Well, Phil, I really thought I had a chance of catching you up on that one.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Do you know, at the end of the day,
0:42:26 > 0:42:28it doesn't matter who wins or loses, does it?
0:42:28 > 0:42:29SNORTS
