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.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22So much?!
0:00:22 > 0:00:27So will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29SHE LAUGHS
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:36 > 0:00:39It's the second leg of our antiques odyssey,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42with treasure hunters David Barby and Margie Cooper
0:00:42 > 0:00:46in their open-top 1979 Mercedes 350 SL.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50And fresh from success, David is raring to go.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- I'm anxious to get shopping now. - Yeah.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm really excited I've got that money to spend.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hard-earned money, Margie.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01It certainly was!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Not that he's one to gloat at all.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12David is the man of the moment after winning the first auction.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Oh, well congratulations.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19He's the master of ceramics and also, the master of seduction.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Beryl, look in my eyes.- Go on, then.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25This is where I don't really know what I'm doing.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Margie Cooper likes to take a more chilled approach.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30That'll keep you cool, man!
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Cool is one thing,
0:01:32 > 0:01:36but Margie had a lukewarm response at the first auction, making a small profit,
0:01:36 > 0:01:41which means she only has £238 to spend on the next round.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- That's life, isn't it?- Certainly is.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47David, on the other hand, more than doubled his initial £200,
0:01:47 > 0:01:52giving him a mighty £417 to spend on today's road trip.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54How much was that?
0:01:54 > 0:01:58The route for the week takes our road trippers from Alnwick,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01in Northumberland, through the beautiful English countryside
0:02:01 > 0:02:06to their final destination of Lincoln, 200 miles away.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09But today's trip begins in Barnard Castle in County Durham,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11winding its way cross-country
0:02:11 > 0:02:14to the delightful seaside town of Scarborough.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Barnard Castle is built around the great castle
0:02:20 > 0:02:22founded in the Norman conquest.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Situated on the north side of the River Tees,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29this pretty location is a real draw for travellers.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- I'm not going to say good luck. - Why not?- Because I don't mean it.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38The first stop for Margie is Robson's Antiques to meet owner, Dale.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Good morning. - Hello, good morning.- Wow!
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Margie.- Hello, Margie, nice to meet you.- You too.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52There's something here to suit all tastes. It's a real Aladdin's cave.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- My word, an Aladdin's cave. - I just said that.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- I'm going to have a look round, if I may.- Yeah, look away.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- So, I'll see you later. - See you in a little bit.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- So, what's the plan of action? - I'm going to start up here...
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Yes?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07If I haven't got much money,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I buy better than when I've got loads of money.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12You're at an advantage today then,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15since you've only got half as much cash as David.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Ooh, whatever is that?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Gosh, never seen one of them before.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Must be a hearth brush...
0:03:25 > 0:03:28with a brass horrible face...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32and another horrible face.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- I've never seen one of those. - Well, you have now.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39It's £45 but is that going to, if I get it really much cheaper,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I wonder is that going to be a saleable thing?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Is somebody going to want to buy that?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46While Margie dithers over the hearth brush,
0:03:46 > 0:03:52David steams ahead to the Mission Hall Antiques Centre just down the road.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Hello there!- Good morning.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- We have something in common, haven't we?- We have.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Your name's David.- It is.- Mine's David as well. That's a good start.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05It's a good start.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09And so, the Barby charm offensive begins. Watch this...
0:04:14 > 0:04:16There's a little piece of toleware.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21Toleware is a French term describing tin or steel-made objects
0:04:21 > 0:04:25often enamelled and with decorative designs.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Inside there...
0:04:27 > 0:04:29you'd have a compartment.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Ah! Isn't that lovely?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33You put your spices in there.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38Included in that circular section, that's the little nutmeg grater.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Isn't that good? So it's complete.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45And I remember my grandmother having one of these.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48That's quite nice, I like that.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I like that - good social history there. Mm.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Mm, I feel a deal coming on
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- I'd say £40.- £40...
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- 35?- Could we say 30?
0:05:01 > 0:05:0235 would be better.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06HE LAUGHS
0:05:06 > 0:05:11- 32. I'll do it for 32, go on. - Hallelujah!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Thank you very much, sir. - Thank you very much.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I haven't got the two pounds, unfortunately.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20That is the oldest trick in the book, David!
0:05:20 > 0:05:25I saw you look! I saw you look!
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Nice try!
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Oh, dear, oh, dear - you're such a hard man.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32That's rich coming from you!
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Back up the road, Margie is surveying the silverware.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37That's a little card case, look.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41She's eyeing up an Edwardian business card holder
0:05:41 > 0:05:43and is considering a job lot of silver.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I need to compile a few bits.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49I do actually have a set of sorts that's come in,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51and that could be reasonable.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- An Edwardian manicure set. - How much is it, then?- 25.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- What, for the whole lot?- Yeah.- Hmm.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- So, you've said 20 for that. - 25 for that.- Yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05There's probably weight in that one!
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I always laugh when I'm bidding!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- I don't know why, I should be more serious.- Yeah, yeah.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12So what's your best offer...
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- It's got to be that really.- Is it? - 45.- It couldn't be 38?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Oh, God, no!
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- I'm a bit...- £40 for the two.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24And I don't think you can go wrong with that.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- OK.- OK.- We'll do it.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Will we do that?- We'll do it. - Thank you very much.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32With the silver sorted, Margie turns her attention
0:06:32 > 0:06:35back to the hearth brush.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36I've never seen one before.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40I just think I like it, I like the heart, I like the wood.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- £30, it can be.- I've just spent 40! - Very, very best.- I've just spent 40!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I know, I know, but...
0:06:47 > 0:06:49We have to make a bit of money.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I know you do.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53So, 65 wouldn't do the deal?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- 40, 50, 65... OK, we'll do that. - Go on then.- Thank you very much.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- It's a bit of a laugh! - I'll polish it.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- I'll even polish it for you, yeah? - That's great.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08So, £65 for the manicure set and hearth brush.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Oh, look who's here!
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Oh no, quick! Excuse me!
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- Have you bought something? - Yeah, I just have.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- I'll just go through to the back room.- Right, go on then.- OK.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Go on then.- Yes, all right. - You're not to look.- I won't, no.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Have you bought anything?- Yes. - He has!- In my bag.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Ooh, I wonder what she's found?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31He's such an nosy parker!
0:07:31 > 0:07:35All will be revealed, David, but not just yet.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Six, and that's seven. Just check it, will you, Dale?- Lovely.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Bye!
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Ah, two lots.
0:07:44 > 0:07:50With Margie out of the way, David has free rein.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Goodness me, this IS an Aladdin's cave!
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Yes, we've already said that, David, twice!
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Oh! It's got its cover!
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Registration mark on the bottom, so that's a good sign.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15This charming piece of Prattware is a hot water jug produced in 1851.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16I really like that.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Particularly since it's got its original lid.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I think I'll see what sort of price I can get on that.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Prepare to witness the master at work as he engages his powers
0:08:29 > 0:08:33of flattery, charm and Jedi mind tricks.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- You can try and sell it to me. - I can try and sell it to you?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39It's £48. I'd like you to do your very, very best please.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41£35.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Is that the silent treatment?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I would like it at a much less figure than you've quoted.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54A much less figure? Well, you're very persuasive.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00And it really should be the figure I've quoted.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- But if you'll give us £25 for it, I would accept that.- OK.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07The incredible Mr Barby does it again.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12At the same time, you've got in the window a pudding basin.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- Yes, yeah.- With a green transfer on. How much is that?
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Off the top of my head, I think that's about £80.- 80?!- Yeah.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I can get it out and we can have a look at it,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24but it is a decent amount of money.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29£80! £80!
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Well, I have to start high with you! You're a hard bargainer.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I think it's got to be around £30.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Just say no, Dale!
0:09:37 > 0:09:40It's got to be £50. Maybe do it for 45, but...
0:09:40 > 0:09:43It's a nice object. Somebody else will buy that.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Could we split the difference at 35? - Oh, no, no, no way.- Good for you.
0:09:46 > 0:09:52I tell you what, £40, but that's absolutely it, and that's cheap.
0:09:52 > 0:09:5638 would be very, very kind to me.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Don't give in!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00HE SIGHS
0:10:00 > 0:10:01You've had one good deal,
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I think you should give me a good deal on that!
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Here he goes again. Don't look into his eyes, Dale!
0:10:10 > 0:10:11(Please.)
0:10:14 > 0:10:16HE SIGHS
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Go on, then, we'll do that. - OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Some people just never learn!
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Now, where's that money? Where's that money?
0:10:27 > 0:10:28I'll have to prise it off you!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32So how much do I owe you?
0:10:32 > 0:10:3763. Oh, look at that! Just right!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42You couldn't make it up!
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Hardly denting his groaning wallet, that's another two items for David -
0:10:46 > 0:10:51The hot water jug at £25, and the pudding basin for 38.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Reunited, David and Margie cross the county border into Richmond
0:10:56 > 0:11:00in North Yorkshire, where they both shopped before.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02This time, Margie is destined for the stage.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07The Georgian Royal Theatre in Richmond
0:11:07 > 0:11:11is the best surviving example of a Georgian Playhouse in Britain,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14lovingly restored to all its former glory in 2002.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- You must be Sarah?- Hi! - Hi, I'm Margie.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Come on in, welcome to the Georgian Theatre Royal.- Thank you very much.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26So, Sarah, is this the main entrance?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29It would have been the original entrance to the theatre,
0:11:29 > 0:11:31cos this is the original box office that we've just passed.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Oh, right.- Would you like to come up to the gallery?- I'd love to.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39The theatre was built in 1788 by the famous actor-manager,
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Samuel Butler, to entertain the masses.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Social status dictated the seating arrangements.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48For most, it would have been the cheap seats in the gallery.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50How wonderfully intimate.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52It seats 214 now,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55but it would have seated 400 when it was first opened.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Up in the gallery, you can see a lot of features
0:11:57 > 0:12:01of the original Georgian Theatre, for example these kicking boards.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03They would have had no qualms in kicking them
0:12:03 > 0:12:06if they didn't like something that was going on stage.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09That would put me off, I think, if I was an actor
0:12:09 > 0:12:11by the fact that everybody's so close.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14The boxes are actually on the stage. There'd have been nowhere to hide at all.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16And people would be fidgeting and shouting.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- One thing, though, the mobile phones wouldn't be going.- No!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22So, these are the cheap seats. Can you show me the dear ones?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Yes, just through there. I'll take you down now.- Great.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31For the aristocracy, it was a different story.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34They could afford somewhere and little grander,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37with views directly onto the stage - the royal box!
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Cheap seats up there, posh seats down here,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43all singing and dancing, a really good view of the stage?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Yes, but it wouldn't have been all good.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49We've heard reports that there was a bunch of ladies who'd sat here, paid a lot of money,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52and complained that there was water coming through the roof
0:12:52 > 0:12:55onto their posh hats and everything. But obviously, it wasn't water.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58The people had been sat upstairs for eight hours, no toilet facilities,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01and they'd have been relieving themselves in buckets,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04so we can only assume that what was tripping on their hats wasn't water!
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Oh, gosh!
0:13:05 > 0:13:09So, that's where the royal "wee" comes from!
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Backstage, Margie's tour continues as she prepares to tread the boards.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20- Right, so this is under this stage. - Very exciting! Gosh.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Oh, so what have we got here?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26This is another feature of Georgian theatre, it's the trap mechanism.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Oh, that's the trap door?
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Yes, there would have been three of these when the theatre first opened.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Two corner traps and a coffin one at the back of the stage,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39which they'd have used for scenery as well as entrances on stage.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- Right.- So, do you fancy having a go? - I thought you might ask me that.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Not really! But I will.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I can't do it on my own, so I just need to get some muscle power.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49- Right, I'm ready. - Here come the boys!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Keep my shoulders in, legs straight.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Head straight.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58DRUM ROLL
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Chops away! Here I come!
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Ta-da!
0:14:05 > 0:14:08And for my next trick, I'm going to thrash that David Barby.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Bravo! More! More!
0:14:16 > 0:14:18As the lights go down for Margie,
0:14:18 > 0:14:24there's more drama in store for David at his next stop - Yarm.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32The name of the town is derived from the old Norse word "yarum",
0:14:32 > 0:14:35meaning "an enclosure to catch fish."
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I wonder what David will manage to reel in here?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Hello - David.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Oh, hello.- Hello, how are you? - Sandy Welsh.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- And you're Sandy?- Yes, I am. - What a lovely name.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I recognise that face. We've been here before with Philip Serrell.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55- 70 quid for the two.- How much?!
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Good luck, David.- Right, what I'd like to do is have a look round.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- I tell you what I'm after. - Right, go on.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06- I'm after something quirky.- Only me!
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- You're priceless, can't afford you! Let me have a look round, then.- Yes.
0:15:10 > 0:15:17She's a feisty one. Could David Barby finally have met his match?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20This is a Victorian scrap screen,
0:15:20 > 0:15:27where it was a hobby to cut out of magazines or use greeting cards
0:15:27 > 0:15:30and stick them on to a screen.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- This is a possibility. - Oh, not cheap! Anything else?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39That's £80, it's a little bit too much for me.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41How much could it go for?
0:15:41 > 0:15:46You might be able to take advantage of me today,
0:15:46 > 0:15:49because I had a late night last night.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Oh, I say! Frisky!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56This is Walter Moorcroft vase of cylindrical form
0:15:56 > 0:15:59and I suppose probably made to hold spills
0:15:59 > 0:16:03used for lighting fires or candles.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- Right, it's nice. - So, what sort of figure?- Oh...
0:16:08 > 0:16:12When I said you could take advantage I didn't mean the whole way!
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Well, halfway?- Well, erm...
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- 80?- Oh!
0:16:21 > 0:16:23You're taking advantage of ME!
0:16:24 > 0:16:30- 80? Oh, come on!- Well...- Sandy!
0:16:30 > 0:16:3175.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34These two started off so well together,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37but I sense it could all end in tears.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Absolutely.- Let me put that out there.- Put it to one side.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45I'll put that to one side. Because I trust you...
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Brace yourself, Sandy.
0:16:46 > 0:16:52..I'm going to ask you the best price that you can do for me on that.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I trust your honesty and your kindness.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I'll tell you what, you're good.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- You're good.- You what?
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Finally, someone has rumbled the silver-tongued charmer!
0:17:05 > 0:17:06In your heart of hearts,
0:17:06 > 0:17:13what do you think would be a good price on that for me and you?
0:17:13 > 0:17:17A good price? I'd say half the price you're asking.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20You're making me head ache. 55.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- 48.- You have worn me to a frazzle.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- So, it's 48?- I'll let you have it for 48 if you buy something else.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Where are your post cards? - You've worn me out!
0:17:32 > 0:17:34David won over the battle of the Moorcroft,
0:17:34 > 0:17:39but can Sandy triumph over the Victorian scrap screen, price - £168.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43You'll make a fortune on that screen.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Sandy, I don't think it's in good condition, darling.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49No, but that's it, shabby chic.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Not that shabby.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54There's plenty of chic.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56There is plenty of cheek!
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Can you tuck it just under the £100, please?- No.
0:18:01 > 0:18:07If I said you 115, then that would be it. Otherwise, we can't do it.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- Could we split the difference at 100? - Oh!- That's splitting the difference.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Go on, then.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18What have I done? What have I done?
0:18:18 > 0:18:23- That's £148 you owe me.- Oh, so much!
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Yes...
0:18:27 > 0:18:31My husband will say to me, "You're losing your touch."
0:18:31 > 0:18:34You're not losing your touch at all.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Sandy, thank you very much.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39So, no hard feelings. Time to kiss and make up.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- Made in heaven! - Thank you.- £2, thank you.- Thank you.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Bye.- Bye-bye.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Was that Sandy crying?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Well, perhaps she'll have the last laugh
0:18:53 > 0:18:55when the scrap screen goes to auction.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00With five items already in the bag, David can sleep like a baby.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Night night.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's not just a brand-new day,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11it's a very special day for one of our antiques experts.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17# Oh what a beautiful morning! #
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- It certainly is. It's your birthday. - It's my birthday.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23# Happy birthday to you...#
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Yes, he's another year older,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28but does that make him any more valuable?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Well, it doesn't matter - he's loaded anyway.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35So far, David has spent £243 on five items -
0:19:35 > 0:19:39a vintage spice tin, a Grimwade pudding basin, a Felix Pratt hot water jug,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42a Moorcroft vase and a Victorian scrap screen,
0:19:42 > 0:19:46which means he still has £174 cash in hand.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Margie, meanwhile, has managed to part with £65 on two lots -
0:19:51 > 0:19:54the hearth brush and a bundle of silverware,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57which gives her a total of £173 to spend on today's shopping.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02The first stop of the day
0:20:02 > 0:20:06is a mystery location in the suburbs of Middlesbrough,
0:20:06 > 0:20:11where Margie is going on a secret mission to secure her next purchase.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12I think it's a business run from a house.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Oh, right?- It's a bit of a mystery. - Well, Margie, I think we're here.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Yeah. So, it's all very intriguing. - I know!
0:20:19 > 0:20:24I wish I was with you, actually. Buy lots! Spend all your money?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Margie has arranged to meet the owner, Jim.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I think it's over there somewhere.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Let's hope she finds the right house,
0:20:31 > 0:20:35otherwise she's about to get done for breaking and entering.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Good morning.- Good morning, Margie. Pleasure to meet you.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Welcome to Appleton Antiques, Middlesbrough.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Thank you very much indeed. - Pleasure.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Jim's antiques shop is actually an extension of his home
0:20:50 > 0:20:53and only select buyers get to visit,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56so Margie had better make the most of it!
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- My eye's suddenly gone to this. - It does...- It's distressed.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- It's distressed.- What a good word!
0:21:04 > 0:21:09£59, so where's it distressed?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- It's quite heavy.- Distressed? I call it cracked!
0:21:11 > 0:21:16Do you want to see on the bottom - it's got a nice crack on the base.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Yeah, yeah, lovely!
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- But it's got a presence. - It certainly has.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24And no wonder - it's a classic piece of Linthorpe pottery
0:21:24 > 0:21:27by influential designer, Christopher Dresser.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Linthorpe was only produced over a ten-year period from 1879,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34so it's now highly collectable.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38I've never seen anything quite like it. £59...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- 40's the rock bottom.- Rock bottom.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44I'm going to be brave and I'm going to say,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I would have been really happy at 35, but you're not going to go down?
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- 40's the best, yeah.- OK, Jim. - Good, thank you.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55So that's...£40, Jim.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Thank you very much.- Thanks so much.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Back on the road, David has driven 30 miles across to Whitby
0:22:01 > 0:22:03the on the east coast of Yorkshire.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07The fishing port emerged during the Middle Ages.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10It's where Captain Cook learned seamanship.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Known for its fish and chips, Whitby is also famous for something else.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19I'm on the way to meet a young lady
0:22:19 > 0:22:21who's going to tell me about Whitby jet.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25It's going to be quite a fascinating lesson.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28The jet found in Whitby is unrivalled
0:22:28 > 0:22:30to that found anywhere else in the world.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32The semi-precious gemstone
0:22:32 > 0:22:36comes from ancient fossilised monkey puzzle trees
0:22:36 > 0:22:40formed when trees decomposed under extreme pressure
0:22:40 > 0:22:43182 million years ago.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Much of the raw material is found here at Boggle Hole
0:22:46 > 0:22:48in Robin Hood Bay.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- What a romantic place! - It's gorgeous, isn't it?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- I'm David, what's your name?- Rebecca.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- You come here often, do you? - Yeah, on days off.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00What do I look for, is it all black?
0:23:00 > 0:23:03It is black, but it's quite difficult to actually find it.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Because of coastal erosion, it's illegal to mine the jet,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08which can make it difficult to find.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11One way of telling it is by its weight.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Obviously, stones and pebbles are quite heavy.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Jet is a very light material, with it being fossilised wood.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Right, right.- That is heavy, that's definitely not jet.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Don't even need to scratch that to find out.- Just my luck!
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Everything I pick up, you throw away!
0:23:25 > 0:23:27We've not been very successful, have we?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30We've not, really, but it is VERY difficult to find.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I'm sure it is. I think we've experienced that.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Have you got a piece on you, what I should be looking for?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Yeah, I do. I've a couple of examples.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Jet comes in two different ways, really.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43There's either sea-washed jet or cliff jet.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46So, that's the sea-washed yet. You can feel how light it is.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- It is, it would almost float. - Yeah, it's not what you expect.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53You look at it, it looks quite a dark, heavy material,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56but it's incredibly light. It's also warm to the touch as well.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- And it's been polished by the sand, hasn't it, and the sea?- Yeah, yeah.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03We actually prefer it sea-washed
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- as opposed to out of the cliff like this.- Why's that?
0:24:07 > 0:24:11When it's sea washed, it tumbles against the rocks in the waves
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- and it gets off any shale or impurities.- Right, I follow that.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18So you're literally left with the best stuff.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21It's easier for us to work with as a product.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Why don't I take you to the shop
0:24:23 > 0:24:26and you can see various different designs in the antiques section,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28and you can also have a go at cutting some yourself if you like?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- And maybe a cup of tea? - Oh, definitely a cup of tea!
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Thank you very much.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Queen Victoria loved Whitby jet and made the jewellery popular
0:24:36 > 0:24:39during her 40-year period of mourning.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Back at Rebecca's workshop,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45David is about to get a lesson in working with the semi-precious stone.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51This is the ring that I'm going to get you to work on.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55I've got a piece of jet that's roughly cut and polished,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59so what I want you to do is grind that into that exact shape
0:24:59 > 0:25:01so that it fits in perfectly.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03That is the first process of working with jet.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Have a go. I'll turn the machine on for you.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15That's it.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- You have to have a good eye. - You do.- Where did you train?
0:25:19 > 0:25:23I trained doing jewellery, like the silversmithing side,
0:25:23 > 0:25:27at Birmingham City University in the Jewellery Quarter.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31It's the best place I could have trained,
0:25:31 > 0:25:33but I didn't know anything about working jet
0:25:33 > 0:25:35until I came to work for this company.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Of course, you can't go anywhere else, can you?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Because there's no jet anywhere else. - Well, no.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44- Shall I give it a try now?- Yeah.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I think it's gone slightly at an angle.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53That's very good for your first try, I have to say. You're almost there.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56This is one that I've done earlier.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58That's what it's going to look like when it's done,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01when the piece of jet is set in place.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I think it's wonderful.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06I hope you have loads of people come and have a look at this,
0:26:06 > 0:26:07- because it's fantastic. - Oh, we do, yeah.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Thank you very much. - You're quite welcome.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- And thanks for letting me have a go. - That's OK. You did very well.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13I'm going to have a shower.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Make it a cold one.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18While David cleans up,
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Margie has travelled four miles south to the village of Sleights.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Located in the Esk Valley,
0:26:26 > 0:26:31Sleights is a charming little village where time passes slowly -
0:26:31 > 0:26:35unless you're Margie Cooper hunting down a bargain, that is.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37As usual, we're in a bit of a rush.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Let's have a look in here.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Hello. You must be Phil? - Hello, pleased to meet you.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- I'm Margie.- Hi.- Hi. God, it's cold, isn't it?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47It is, it's not the warmest of days out there.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Eskdale Antiques is quite literally a barn of a shop
0:26:51 > 0:26:53based in an old farmyard.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Let's hope Margie doesn't end up buying a pile of you-know-what by mistake!
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- Do you like advertising?- Oh!
0:27:00 > 0:27:02One and nine with three gallons,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04so it's got a slight motoring association.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07How much is that?
0:27:07 > 0:27:0945.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- You know, I'm lost for words? - It's quite retro, isn't it?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- And retro's quite...- I know. - It's quite in fashion, retro stuff.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Oh, gosh.- It's just something a bit unusual.- Yeah...
0:27:18 > 0:27:22I don't know whether I want to risk £45 on that,
0:27:22 > 0:27:24cos I don't know what I'm doing.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26It's never stopped you before, Margie.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Oh, I don't know. How low could it go?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30If I said 35 to you.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- 35?- It must give you 15 or 20 quid at least, maybe a bit more?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- That's not going to go for 50 quid, is it?- Yeah, I think it will.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Oh, I don't think so.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43It's just all guesswork with something like that, isn't it?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Yeah, but that's what makes it fun, isn't it?
0:27:45 > 0:27:51- It'd make it fun if it was 25 quid. - How about going halfway?
0:27:52 > 0:27:58- Meet me in the middle.- Oh, gosh, 30 still sounds dear, Phil, doesn't it?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- We'll make a deal if you like.- 25?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Yeah, we'll make a deal at 25 quid, OK? Thank you very much.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Thank you very much. Let's give you some money.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09We've got 20, 30. There you go.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Thank you very much.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Thank you very much. - There we go, just a fiver.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17That's great, thanks, Phil. Oh, what have I done?
0:28:17 > 0:28:21With time running out, Margie legs it across to Whitby...
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Here goes - nothing ventured...!
0:28:24 > 0:28:27..where David is looking for his last shop of the day.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Gosh, it's getting rather late now.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32I'll just nip down there and see if there's a shop open,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35because I haven't shopped today and I need to get one more item.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40Well, you know what they say, David? He who shops last shops longest.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Looks like Margie's stolen his thunder.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47She's beaten you to the last shop.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Hi, hello.- Hello, how do you do? - Margie Cooper, and you are?- Frank.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Frank. Hi, Frank. I'm just going to have a quick look round,
0:28:53 > 0:28:57- is that all right? - You're quite welcome, yes.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59You've got all sorts in here.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- Yeah, there's a bit of everything. - Yeah.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04- That's nice.- Yeah, it is.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Not that easy to... Where's the other one?
0:29:07 > 0:29:09THEY LAUGH
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- There's not two, is there? - I think there might be!
0:29:12 > 0:29:17Yes, some antiques come in matching pairs, just like our experts.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Where there's Margie, David's usually not far behind.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26Oh, I can't believe it, Margie's in there! Oh no!
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- I see what you mean about the barometers, they're quite nice. - They're lovely.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36- What sort of money can they be? What's the middle one?- The rope one?
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- Yeah.- Has it got £60 on it? £40.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- Not 20?- No, can't do it at 20.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Oh, now what? Oh, it is him!
0:29:48 > 0:29:51What? I'm going now, I'm nearly finished.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Are you buying a pair of shoes?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55SHE LAUGHS
0:29:55 > 0:29:57I can't wait any longer.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02She hasn't bought anything. Typical women!
0:30:02 > 0:30:0735 and that's it, right?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09You've got to buy something otherwise...
0:30:09 > 0:30:11You'll kick me out of the shop.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14You're fed out with me now, aren't you? I can't feel it.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15He's not the only one!
0:30:15 > 0:30:17I've had enough.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22I'm going back to the hotel.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27And just like that, David Barby becomes Diva Barby.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29SHE LAUGHS
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- Here we are. - Right, thank you so much.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- Margie has sealed the deal on the barometer for £35.- There you go.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Thank you so much.- OK, my dear.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44And I hope it makes a profit.
0:30:44 > 0:30:49- You'll be all right. - Thanks a lot.- OK then.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52After David's calmed down with a good dose of gripe water,
0:30:52 > 0:30:55our experts are ready to reveal themselves.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Well, not literally!
0:30:57 > 0:31:00A case of "you show me yours and I'll show you mine."
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- Right, you start, Margie.- Ready?
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Yeah, let's have a look.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- There's another.- Oh! - There's something else.- Oh!
0:31:10 > 0:31:12I've seen something I would have bought!
0:31:12 > 0:31:14This is the piece de resistance.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Oh, pull the other one! It's got tights on.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Oh no, that brings back too many memories.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I could never get them on then!
0:31:24 > 0:31:27That is wonderful! I like that.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Well, I don't. I don't understand the market.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- How much did you pay for that? - 25 quid.- Oh, that's good.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- Can I just dive in immediately, please?- Yeah.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- How funny you've gone for that. - I love it.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- I know. I was rather hoping... - I'm so envious.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Now I AM surprised.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49- What did you pay for that?- 25. - Oh, that's so cheap.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Thank you, dear.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Then I would imagine the next thing I'm looking at, is this Burmantofts?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Linthorpe.- Oh, sugars!
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- But, very distressed. - But not as distressed as David!
0:32:03 > 0:32:08What is so good about this is the shape. How much did you pay for it?
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- £40.- Oh, that's a giveaway.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- Lovely, lovely piece. - It will be, with all those cracks!
0:32:14 > 0:32:17OK, now look at my miserable little collection.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- Oh, God!- Oh, gosh!
0:32:21 > 0:32:22And then...
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Oh, my goodness.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- What's that, scrap work?- Yes.- I say!
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- And how much did you pay? - £100.- Hmm...
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- About £100 too much. - Well, good luck David.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Thank you very much. Thank you. Just sounds like my mother.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Let's get to the next thing, come on.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Can I look at that Japan - is it Japan tinware? What is it?
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- Toleware.- Oh, that's nice, isn't it? Oh, I like that.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51We've both got quite unusual things, I hope.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55You have, that's really nice. How much did you pay for that?
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Oh, have a guess - a lot.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- 65?- No.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- 28.- Oh!
0:33:04 > 0:33:05Er, £32 I think!
0:33:05 > 0:33:07I'm getting to know you now.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11- What about?- Little Moorcroft. - Isn't it sweet?- It is sweet.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- 25?- 48.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- We'll wait and see.- We will wait and see. It'll be interesting.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Thank you very much for revealing yours, Margie.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- Thank you for revealing yours. - Not at all.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26That's what they're saying now, but what do they really think?
0:33:26 > 0:33:30I thought her Linthorpe pot - oh, such a dream!
0:33:30 > 0:33:33I don't know whether she knows a Christopher Dresser design,
0:33:33 > 0:33:36and even though it's cracked, there's going to be demand for it,
0:33:36 > 0:33:38so she's bought exceedingly well.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41I think she's bought better than me, actually.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Mine are so basic and ordinary.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50There's no "wow" factor there, except for the screen, which I still like.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I just hate those screens.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55I think they're everything that's bad about Victoriana.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57He's going to be very lucky if he gets a profit.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00I was so thrilled he liked my brush!
0:34:00 > 0:34:03That lovely little Arts and Crafts brush.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05But it's not up to me, it's up to the people of Scarborough.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08From wonderful Whitby,
0:34:08 > 0:34:12there's just one final push on to the seaside town of Scarborough.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Seeing Scarborough at its very best.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Elegant town, isn't it? - That's enough of the sightseeing.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21It's time to get down to business!
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Not a cloud in the sky!
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- What a lovely day!- Yeah.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29Today, our experts are doing battle at David Duggleby's auction house,
0:34:29 > 0:34:33a family-run business with over 40 years' experience.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37What will the main man think of David and Margie's items?
0:34:37 > 0:34:40One of the most interesting lots then is the jardiniere, Linthorpe,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42attributed to Christopher Dresser.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Everything going about it,
0:34:43 > 0:34:46apart from it's got a great big crack in it.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49I think they'll do all right.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52David began today's road trip with a mighty £417
0:34:52 > 0:34:55and has spent £243 on five lots,
0:34:55 > 0:35:00leaving him with £174 still burning a hole in his pocket.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05By comparison, Margie started out with a meagre £238
0:35:05 > 0:35:09and has also bought five lots, costing £165,
0:35:09 > 0:35:12leaving her with £73 cash in hand.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16- How are you feeling? - How am I feeling?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18How am I feeling?! Nervous.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22It's awful sitting next door to a winner.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Oh, no don't build my hopes up. Here we go.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Lot number 13, then.
0:35:26 > 0:35:32So, kicking things off is David's 1930s Moorcroft vase.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34£40, I'm in at 40.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36At £40, at 40.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39At 40, five, 50, five, at 60.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Five, 70. Five, 80.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Five, 90. Five, 100.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47110, 120.
0:35:47 > 0:35:53120 with me, £120. 120, 130, fresh bid.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54130. 140.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58150. 160. 170.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00At £170, then, at 170.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05It's in the room, it's selling at 170. All done, 170.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Oh no, defeated before I start!
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Oh, my goodness me, that was amazing.
0:36:12 > 0:36:18David Barby has done it again, with a blooming great profit of £122.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Wow!
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- I don't want to play this game any more.- Yours is still to come.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27But can Margie close the gap
0:36:27 > 0:36:31with her badly cracked Linthorpe jardiniere? Er...
0:36:31 > 0:36:34There we are, we've got some interest in this one.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36We can start this at £40, I'm in at 40.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38At £40, at 40.
0:36:38 > 0:36:4250 with me. At £50 then? At 50. At £50, and five.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47- At 60. £60. Selling at 60, then. - 60 quid!
0:36:47 > 0:36:52Going in at 60. All done at £60? It's selling at 60, then. All done.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57- You've made a profit, Margie.- £60! - Yeah, but it's £20.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Yeah, but it should have rolled on a bit more.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04It's a respectable profit, but just not enough to jump into the lead.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Christopher Dresser and all that? - But it was smashed.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14Will David's toleware spice tin curry favour with the bidders?
0:37:14 > 0:37:19With me at £25. At 25, at 30. At 30.
0:37:19 > 0:37:2235. At 40, 45?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24At 50, £50 in the room, at 50.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28At £50, then, it's selling. All done at £50?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Going at 50, all done? 50.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32A nice price for the spice
0:37:32 > 0:37:35and another tasty little profit for David.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38That's good.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41The pressure is on for the next item -
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Margie's 1930s oak barometer.
0:37:44 > 0:37:50£20 to start, 20. £20 anywhere, 20? 20 bid. At 20.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53At £20 at the back there, £20. 25, 25.
0:37:53 > 0:37:59At £25 on this side? Selling at 25. Are you all done at £25? £25.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03Uh-oh, I can see the storm clouds brewing for Marjorie.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- It's not my day.- You've got other things coming up, Margie.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Here we are, all you need for your tea today.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13David's next lot is the Grimswade pudding basin.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15But will it turn out to be a duff purchase?
0:38:15 > 0:38:19With me at £25. At 25, at 30.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22£30. 35 with me. 35. At 40?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24£40 on this side, at 40.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27At £40, it's selling at 40. Are we all done at £40?
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Got to go. All done? It's going at 40.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- You've made a profit. Or have you? - Yes.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38The proof was in the pudding, but only just.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Still, at least it's profit - I'm not making a loss.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Another of David Barby's items next -
0:38:43 > 0:38:45the Felix Pratt hot water jug.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47£20 bid on it, at 20.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50At £20 with me at £20, then, at 20.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Five, 30. Five, at 40. At £40.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- It's worth more than that. - On commission, then, at £40, at 40.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- You won't get a better example. - He's right!
0:39:00 > 0:39:02It's selling, are we all done at 40?
0:39:03 > 0:39:06It's profit. It's profit.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09A lukewarm response to the hot water jug,
0:39:09 > 0:39:12but David still profits to the tune of £15.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- Disappointing.- It is disappointing. - It is disappointing.- Very surprised.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Oh, no!
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Disappointing for David, but it gives Margie a chance to catch up.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- Just tell me when it's over. - Have faith in your taste.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Let's hope there are no snags with this 1960s advertising board.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Number 95, there. There we are, we've got a bit of interest in it.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- Let's start it at £20. - There you are, you're in.
0:39:34 > 0:39:3820, at £20, I'm in at 20. At 20.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41At 20, and five. At 30, and five.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43At 40. And five, at 50.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47- And five, £55 in the room, at £55.- £55!
0:39:47 > 0:39:51It's here to sell, it's going at 55. Are we all done at £55?
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- Wonderful!- Hooray!
0:39:56 > 0:40:02Suspend your disbelief - Margie is quids-in with her saucy stocking ad.
0:40:02 > 0:40:03That was good.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Margie's luck has turned, but can she clean up
0:40:07 > 0:40:09with her Arts and Crafts hearth brush?
0:40:09 > 0:40:1420, at £20. At 20. In the room at £20 then, it's here to sell.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19It's going at 20 then. Are we all done at £20? And five. £25, 25.
0:40:19 > 0:40:2130, £30 here. 35.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26At 40, £40. At 40. Selling at 40, then.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Are we all done at £40? It's got to go, we all done at 40?
0:40:31 > 0:40:33That's OK. You're not losing.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36A tidy little profit nevertheless.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38We can't all make large profits.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Let's see if David's still smiling
0:40:42 > 0:40:45when his tatty old Victorian scrap screen comes up next.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50I hope they put on the screen the other side, the red screen.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51I don't like the scraps!
0:40:53 > 0:40:58There we are, lot 120, the modesty screen there.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00A modesty screen! I love the description.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04You can put your 1960s stockings on behind this one.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07- £40 I have bid, at 40. - 40, is that all?!- At £40, at 40.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09At £40, at 40 for the screen there, 40.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- Come on!- At 40, and five.
0:41:12 > 0:41:1545, and 50. Five, 60.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- Five, 70.- It's going!- Come on! - £70 with me then, at 70.- It's going!
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- Five, 80.- It's going. - £80 with me, at 80.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24It's on commission, it's here to sell.
0:41:24 > 0:41:29It's going at 80 then. Are we all done at £80? Selling at 80, £80.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34- Oh!- Ouch! That scrap screen is scrap value. Oh dear.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Still, no need to cry, David.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Margie's last hope lies with her silver collection,
0:41:41 > 0:41:46which she needs to sell for at least £110 to stand any chance of winning.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48No pressure, then.
0:41:48 > 0:41:5135, 40. 45, at 50.
0:41:51 > 0:41:5355, at 60.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- Keep going.- 65, at 70. 75, at £75.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01- That's good. You were bang on. - 75, 75. £80 on the phone, at 80.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04- 80 on the phone.- At 90. - We were on the phone.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07At £90 here, at 90. Selling at 90, then.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10All done at £90? Going at 90, all done at 90?
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Well done!
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Well, it's a sterling profit but sadly, not enough.
