0:00:02 > 0:00:07It's the nation's favourite antiques experts. With £200 each, a classic car
0:00:07 > 0:00:11- and a goal to scour Britain for antiques...- That hurts.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:23- There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.- You mean lot!
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29There's always another auction.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:39This week, we have the ultimate battle of the Marks.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Mark Stacey is a dealer and auctioneer from Brighton
0:00:44 > 0:00:49whose sharp eye and sharper wit make him a formidable road tripper.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53I don't want to force you, honestly. It's not in my nature, but...
0:00:53 > 0:00:58While Mark Hales is an auctioneer and ceramics expert from sunny Devon
0:00:58 > 0:01:02who hopes his chutzpah might just carry the day.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05He who dares wins, John.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Although they both suffered losses in the disastrous first leg.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- We've entered a new phase of the competition - who can lose the most?- Yeah.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Both boys have now managed to turn tidy profits.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- I think I'm the cat that's got the cream.- You are.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Both Marks started this week with a cool £200.
0:01:25 > 0:01:33Mark Stacey has managed to grow that seed money into a bountiful £511.64. Pretty good.
0:01:33 > 0:01:41While Mark Hales has traded his original £200 up to a respectable £305.28.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Today, our twosome are paired with a stunning '60s chick -
0:01:46 > 0:01:50the sinuous 1968 Triumph Spitfire.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55This week sees the two Marks journey through eastern lands
0:01:55 > 0:02:00from Finedon in Northamptonshire 300 miles through five English counties
0:02:00 > 0:02:02to Colchester in Essex.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07On this last leg of their epic road trip,
0:02:07 > 0:02:13they begin in Clare in Suffolk, heading for their final auction in Colchester.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- A nice little Georgian town again, isn't it?- Very pretty.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26During the medieval period, the small town of Clare prospered from the cloth industry.
0:02:26 > 0:02:32Today, its large range of listed buildings makes it an attractive place to start the day's buying.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Right then, here we are.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Jolly good.- You're very keen, Mark. - I am very keen.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I can't wait for this.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43You're positively bouncing, Mark.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- I'm popping in that one, I think. - OK, I'm off this way. Be lucky.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- I'll catch up with you later. - Don't catch up with me too soon. - Oh, I will.- Bye!
0:02:52 > 0:03:00Mark Stacey is heading off towards FD Salter Antiques where David rules the roost.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Hello.- Hello.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- I'm Mark.- Hello. David. - Nice to meet you, David. Lovely little shop.- Thank you.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Let's hope Mark is in luck as he hunts for his first item.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Now, there's something that might be Mark's cup of tea.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20It's quite pretty, isn't it?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Quite a sweet little thing. It's a little, um...
0:03:24 > 0:03:28pewter...embossed tea caddy.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Almost Arts and Crafts in a way.
0:03:31 > 0:03:37The 19th century Arts and Crafts movement reacted against the manufacturing changes
0:03:37 > 0:03:40brought on by the Industrial Revolution
0:03:40 > 0:03:44and harked back to the styles and craftsmanship of previous centuries.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I'll see what David says price-wise. We might be lucky.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52- What I did find, David, was this little tea caddy.- Yeah.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- Embossed with pewter, I suppose. - I would say it was pewter, yes.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- It's obviously got a bit of age because it's got that lovely patina on there.- It has, yes.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04But there was no price on it, David.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Do I need to sit down?- No, it's not too bad at all. It can be £35 to you.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11That's actually not too bad, is it?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13We couldn't get to 30?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- I don't want to push you too much. - I can't, I'm afraid.- OK.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I've not bought anything like this before.
0:04:20 > 0:04:26- I'm going to buy it for 35.- Lovely. - That's very kind of you. Thank you very much. Wish me luck.- I do, yes.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- If it does well, I'll have a cup of tea with you.- Fair enough.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Ripping! Mark Stacey's first buy is in hand.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Meanwhile, Mark Hales is a couple of minutes away
0:04:42 > 0:04:45and heading into Clare Antiques & Interiors,
0:04:45 > 0:04:49but his morning isn't going quite so swimmingly.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I'm having a "blonde" moment.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Steady on now. Don't be colourist!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00What to do, what to do?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02What to buy?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04That, Mark, is the question.
0:05:04 > 0:05:10I keep seeing bits and pieces that I can buy for £15, they might make £25. It's not what I'm after.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15I'm trying to buy something with considerable profit in it.
0:05:16 > 0:05:22- And I'm not dreaming. It happens. I've done it before. I can do it again.- Indeed you have.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Yes, yes! I'm going to hug Mark Stacey.- Oh, my God!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30While Mark Hales pulls himself together,
0:05:30 > 0:05:36the competitive Mark Stacey is nearby and has just spotted another shop he's keen to have a gander at -
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Market Hill Antiques.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45This looks rather interesting, actually.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Hello there.- Morning, sir.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- I'm Mark.- Robin.- Nice to meet you.
0:05:52 > 0:05:58As ever, Mark's eagle eye is hunting for a bargain. Watch out, Robin.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- We're realistically priced.- Are you? Well, that's a word I like.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05But I prefer "very" in front of it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08LAUGHTER I can fully understand that.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11And a good thing too.
0:06:12 > 0:06:18Mark's on fire today. He's just spotted a pair of Georgian lead tobacco boxes.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24There's one with the Prince of Wales feathers here. They are 1720s?
0:06:24 > 0:06:30Yeah. They're probably Scottish. They had the main tobacco import from Virginia and places like that.
0:06:30 > 0:06:36The Scottish port of Glasgow dominated the 18th century tobacco trade with the American colonies
0:06:36 > 0:06:39and many great fortunes were built on the weed.
0:06:40 > 0:06:46- I've never bought one before. They really are early 18th century? - Yeah. I'll do you a deal on the pair.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49What are we looking at if I took the two of them?
0:06:49 > 0:06:55- I'll do you "buy one, get one free". - OK.- Do you want to look at the price now?- No.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- 185.- Oh, my God!
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I'm always open to an offer.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06I don't want to be reckless and jeopardise my hard-earned winnings.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09£120, they've got to make a profit for the pair?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13I mean, it does seem reasonable, but I do like round figures, you see.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- 150 then?- No, 100. That's what I was thinking.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- 110 the pair.- You can't do them for 100? Shake on 100?- Go on.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30- What have I done?- Spent £100, sir. - I can't go back now, can I? - No, we shook on it.- We have.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- Sweating, sir?- I am sweating. I've never bought anything like this before. I'm really worried.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Where are you going, Mark? Get back here!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41That's more like it.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44And Robin gets his cash, finally,
0:07:44 > 0:07:49and another buy is in the bag despite the tomfoolery.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54Mark Hales, though, still hasn't found anything in the other shop.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57It's all going wrong for me today. I've just got to...
0:07:57 > 0:08:00So he's taking a break from the stresses of buying.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I hope I haven't missed anything. It's so easy to miss things.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Right, onward.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Onward.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16And he's driving the 32 miles to Maldon in Essex.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24The town's history is tied to the Blackwater Estuary on which it sits.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Traditional Thames sailing barges,
0:08:26 > 0:08:32which once carried cargoes through the waterways of eastern England, can still be glimpsed.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Today, Mark is visiting the town's Combined Military Services Museum
0:08:43 > 0:08:46and meeting museum historian Clive.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Good afternoon, sir. - Good afternoon, sir.- I'm Mark.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- I'm Clive.- Hello, Clive.
0:08:51 > 0:08:57The museum's collection illustrates the proud history of Britain's armed forces -
0:08:57 > 0:09:03weapons, uniforms and other equipment displayed here from all branches of the military,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05ancient and modern.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09The museum is owned by a private collector of militaria.
0:09:09 > 0:09:17Some of the most interesting pieces relate to espionage and covert operations in the 20th century.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Clive's going to show Mark one of them.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Now, what have we here? - This is a suitcase radio.
0:09:24 > 0:09:30It was the type of thing issued to Special Operations Executive operatives in the Second World War.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Both men and women. And they used it to communicate back to the UK.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38The Special Operations Executive, or SOE,
0:09:38 > 0:09:42was a secret British army unit convened during World War Two
0:09:42 > 0:09:47to engage in covert reconnaissance and sabotage behind enemy lines.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52Way in advance of its time in terms of communications. You can pick it up, carry it
0:09:52 > 0:09:56and the obvious disguise for it was a suitcase, hence "suitcase radios".
0:09:56 > 0:09:59The men and women of the SOE risked their lives
0:09:59 > 0:10:03to send information vital to the war effort back to Britain.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- They were brave. - They were indeed. Very much so.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10You can put the headphones on and have a tap on the Morse key.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Oh, lovely. Right, now, what's SOS?
0:10:12 > 0:10:18- Dot-dot-dot, dash-dash-dash, dot-dot-dot.- That's it. - I've done it. I've sent a message.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Now, is that a gun in Clive's pocket?
0:10:22 > 0:10:29I've got something else here that you might find of interest, craftily concealed about my person.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- This...- That's a gun.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35It's a Luger, a standard German Second World War pistol.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39But this one is rather special and this weapon, along with another one,
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- was prepared for an assassination attempt on Hitler in 1944. - That actual Luger?
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Yeah. They decided not to carry on with the operation because it was considered
0:10:49 > 0:10:55that Hitler was doing so much damage to the German war effort by himself that it was best to leave him alive.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Yes. It sort of makes sense in retrospect, doesn't it?
0:10:59 > 0:11:05That gun would have been used, had the operation gone ahead. I'm having trouble getting my head round this.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09That actual pistol, basically, could have changed history.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- It could have changed the history of the world. Can I have a go? - Certainly.- As it were.
0:11:14 > 0:11:20Like all of the firearms here, the Luger has been deactivated, thank goodness, so it can't fire
0:11:20 > 0:11:23and there's no chance of Mark doing himself a mischief.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25It's almost as if it was made for me.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Oh, yes, Mark, you do look the part.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31'GUNFIRE'
0:11:31 > 0:11:33"JAMES BOND" THEME MUSIC
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Now Clive has some other super spy gadgets to show Mark.
0:11:37 > 0:11:43This room is packed full of items thought to have been used in espionage during the Cold War.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Much of the collection was amassed by two real-life British agents,
0:11:49 > 0:11:53the husband and wife spy team Peter and Prue Mason
0:11:53 > 0:11:58who used many of these specially designed items in the field.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Here are some particular artefacts that I thought you might find interesting.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07I think Clive might be Essex's answer to Q.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I won't tell you what they are. I want you to think James Bond.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- My goodness me!- See if you can see what's different about these shoes.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Apart from the fact they're very sexy patent leather.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Each to their own, Clive.- Now, now!
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Oh, oh, here we go. If I pull that out... Oh, nasty.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- There you go.- That's for doing his nails, isn't it?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32The shoes contain a concealed blade,
0:12:32 > 0:12:39just like the shoes worn by arch-villainess Rosa Klebb in Bond film From Russia With Love.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Typical James Bond scenario. All you've got to do is flick that out.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- Flick that out with your other foot or wiggling about. - Yeah, or on a chair.- Cut your ropes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Quick bit of kung fu or whatever and out the building. Don't forget the young lady.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Daniel Craig is quaking in his Italian leather brogues, I'm sure.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Just pick up that cigarette there.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02That's heavy.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07- It's a gun.- Of course it is. How obvious! Of course it's a gun(!)
0:13:07 > 0:13:12- It's a single-shot pistol. - Is it really?- To fire it, you have to twist that.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15All you would do is twist it and that would...
0:13:15 > 0:13:20- Fire a bullet out of the end. - This is Boy's Own stuff. This is straight out of books.
0:13:20 > 0:13:26The museum holds all manner of secrets, but the rest of them are for Mark's eyes only.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30I shouldn't really show you this, but we do have one or two items...
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Mark Stacey, though, is back in Clare, Suffolk,
0:13:35 > 0:13:40and has popped into the shop that gave Mark Hales such gyp earlier.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Can his eagle eye spot anything his rival missed?
0:13:44 > 0:13:49I see this little box here. It's got Ollivant & Botsford on it.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54Ollivant & Botsford were jewellers, silversmiths and watchmakers.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Shall we open the box? Come on, let's open the box.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Oh, goody, let's!
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- It could be a winner. Can I have a look at this, sir?- Sure.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Dealer Jim will get it out of the case. Drum roll, please!
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Let's hope it's as exciting as it looks.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Oh.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Well, that was an anti-climax.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Whatever was in there...
0:14:18 > 0:14:24Issued by the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, 19th of September, 1917.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31The box used to contain a deck watch used for naval navigation.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34The number on the box's lid uniquely identifies it
0:14:34 > 0:14:39and ties it to these records held in the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44They confirm the box's provenance and tell the story of its working life.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48It was acquired by the Royal Observatory in the 1890s
0:14:48 > 0:14:54and was issued to many Royal Navy vessels before being retired in 1922.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58It's just an intriguing little thing, but £40...
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Is the deal negotiable, do you think?
0:15:01 > 0:15:07- He could certainly do something on that price.- What do you think he'd take?- I know he'd do 35 on it.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12- Do you think he would come down to 30?- I'd have to call him. - Would you mind doing that?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- He'll do £30 for it. - I've got to have it for £30.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22Marvellous. And Mark Stacey sails off to his next shop.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28He's travelling the 39 miles to the small Essex village of Rettendon.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32A compact, but charming destination.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Its church, All Saints, dates from the 13th century.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41He's strolling off into Rettendon Antiques.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Is there anything he might risk his hard-earned on?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50There is this fire screen.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55The centre piece is made out of beaten copper and I quite like these very stylish roses.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58They're almost like Tudor roses.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00It's got £55 on it.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05We know you regard that as the very loosest of jumping-off points, Mark.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10- Best see what you can strike up with the lovely proprietor Elaine. - Elaine!
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Sorry, Elaine. I found this and dare I say what I want to pay for it?
0:16:14 > 0:16:20I mean, it's got 55 on it. What do you think the lowest will be on that?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- I could do it for £20.- £20.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26It doesn't sound too bad, does it?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- I think it's very reasonable. - You would, Elaine.- Yes.- You would.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Hmm, this Essex girl is no pushover.
0:16:33 > 0:16:39- You don't think we could get it lower than that?- £20, I think, is a good price.- Is it?- Yes.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- Do you want to hear what my good price is...? No.- Do I?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45LAUGHTER I'm not sure!
0:16:46 > 0:16:51- Oh, you're getting far too good at this.- She is, isn't she?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54We couldn't tweak it under a bit for good luck?
0:16:55 > 0:17:00I don't want to force you, honestly. It's not in my nature, but...
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Who will break the silent battle of wills?
0:17:08 > 0:17:13- You're a very good saleswoman, you know.- I think it's worth the £20.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- Go on, I'll take it for 20. - Have we got a deal?- We have.
0:17:17 > 0:17:23There's something you don't see every day. Mark is outdone at his own game.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Elaine gets her £20 and Mark gets his fire screen.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34And with that highly irregular occurrence, the curtain falls on our first day.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Night-night, chaps.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41But they can't stay off the road for long.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45The morning sun greets them back in the Spit and raring to go.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Do you know, the sun's shining, Mark. It's a beautiful day.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54I'm on the up. Lady Luck is going to shine on me today.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00So far, Mark Stacey has spent £185 on four lots -
0:18:00 > 0:18:04the box for the naval deck watch,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07the lead tobacco boxes,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10the pewter tea caddy
0:18:10 > 0:18:12and the Arts and Crafts fire screen,
0:18:12 > 0:18:16while Mark Hales has yet to make a purchase
0:18:16 > 0:18:18and so has spent nothing whatsoever.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23But all is optimism as they head for the first shop of the day.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27There's lots of time left. I'm only a tad behind.
0:18:27 > 0:18:33It's not over until the last auction. That's what I think. You're only as good as your next purchase.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37They're driving to the Essex village of Battlesbridge
0:18:37 > 0:18:40through which the River Crouch flows
0:18:40 > 0:18:42along its stately way.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48This morning's a two-hander
0:18:48 > 0:18:52as our haggling heroes go to war in the same place...
0:18:53 > 0:18:56..Battlesbridge Antiques Centre.
0:18:56 > 0:19:02This complex of shops holds over 80 dealers, so there should be plenty for everyone.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- This looks good.- Are you feeling happier now?- Yeah. This is great.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09They're heading off in different directions.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- You're keen.- I want to get in there. - Don't worry about me.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- Good morning, sir.- Good morning. - I'm Mark.- My name's John.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23With no buys yet, Mark is going to have to work fast.
0:19:23 > 0:19:29Already I've seen a lovely Wemyss jardiniere. Is it in good condition? Let's have a quick look.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32225. That's too much for me.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Wemyss Ware is a type of decorative pottery originally produced
0:19:36 > 0:19:41in Ceres, Fife, from around the 1880s to the 1930s.
0:19:41 > 0:19:47It was decorated by a chap called Nekola and this is all hand-painted.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Several patterns. Lots of different flowers, plants.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55Very nice. Now, what can you get the blooming price down to?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- I'm in a bit of a pickle, John.- OK.
0:19:58 > 0:20:04- I'm up against Mark Stacey. He's in front.- We don't want that. - The pressure's on.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Bit of a nightmare.- What are we going to do?- I don't know.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12- Have you seen anything in particular? - I love you already. "What are WE going to do?"
0:20:12 > 0:20:19- Can I show you a Wemyss jardiniere? You've got 225 on it. I want to buy it for 150.- OK.- What's it got to be?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21The absolute best to you has got to be £175.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- Bottom line?- That's the absolute best.- OK, let's have a go.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30- Thank you very much.- Thank you, John. - I'll get this wrapped up for you. - Brilliant.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Yeah... He who dares wins, John.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Oh, yeah, Del Boy. Oh, yeah.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Bye!
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Meanwhile, Mark Stacey is outside.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Well, I've just spotted something which is completely barking mad -
0:20:46 > 0:20:53a pair of cast-iron... what only can be described really as castle hinges.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56It's almost like a fleur-de-lys design.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59These would have gone on to a moat bridge or something.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Or a very, very old wooden door.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07And I don't know if I'm crazy or very wise in trying to buy them.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10On the ticket is £125.
0:21:11 > 0:21:17I must be having a funny five minutes. I'm getting a hot flush about these. It's really quite mad.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Oh, settle down, dear. - What would be your best price?
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- I'd go to 75.- 75. - That would be my best price.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- You couldn't go to 70 for me? - I'll go to 70.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33I must be mad, but I'll have them for £70. Thank you very much.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Aha! A buy fit for a king.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40Across the way, Mark Hales is really starting to feel the pressure.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45He's still only bought one item. I think it might be getting to him.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Morning.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Cheerful chappies, aren't they?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53I'm just looking for anything old that will just hit me.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56At the rate I'm going, I should be knocked out.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02You'd think I would buy something!
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Oh, Mark, do settle down. Have you found anything yet?
0:22:06 > 0:22:12- I'm "a frayed knot"! - After all that flim-flam, he's back where he started in John's shop.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- Oh, dear. - Oh, now that's nice.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18That is me all over.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Lovely Georgian stoneware tankard.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Markings on it. In good order.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Imagine a couple of pints of porter in that.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31It's brown-glaze stoneware.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Made all over the place, actually. Derbyshire, Nottingham.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39We have to be a little bit careful. They did reproduce a lot of this.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44But not with this sort of banding and turning. It's good. £35.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49Let's see what we can get it for. ..I know what you're going to say. It's got £35 on it.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- I want it for 25. - I can sell it for 30.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Oh, blimey. Can't you do 28?- 30.
0:22:56 > 0:23:02- Right. Let's have a go. I love it. - Thank you very much. I'll get that packed up for you.- Thank you.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07Aha! Ceramics maestro Mark is back in familiar territory.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Maybe his luck's about to change.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Meanwhile, Mark Stacey is still outside and boxing clever.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21The dealer's just brought this out of the back of his van and, basically, it's a box.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Have I bought any boxes so far?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Listen, you've bought four of the flaming things!
0:23:27 > 0:23:33- It's a Victorian ladies jewellery box in walnut.- Mark's thinking it might make a job lot
0:23:33 > 0:23:40with his pewter tea caddy. The ticket price is £35. Best speak to dealer Colin. Col?
0:23:41 > 0:23:47- Any way we can get it for 25?- 30? - It will have to be 25, I'm afraid. I paid so much for the tea caddy.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- Go on, then.- Are you sure? 25? Lovely, thank you.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- I'll quickly pay you before you change your mind.- Yes!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Capital!
0:23:57 > 0:24:02And with that it's time to bid Battlesbridge a fond adieu.
0:24:05 > 0:24:13Mark Stacey has bought up to the hilt, so he's heading off to Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex,
0:24:15 > 0:24:21where he's going to pay a playful visit to the House on the Hill Toy Museum,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23where he's meeting owner Alan.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28- Hello, Alan.- Hi, Mark. Welcome to the toy museum.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33Oh, thank you. That's amazing. Lovely weather. I'm hoping to learn a lot today.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38- Largest toy museum in the world. - Alan has run it since 1990
0:24:38 > 0:24:44when he turned his magnificent private collection of toys into this huge public exhibition.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47We're coming into the tin-plate area.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Alan started his collection at 14.
0:24:50 > 0:24:57Today it spans all types of toy from board games to dolls and from ancient toys to modern,
0:24:57 > 0:25:03but it's the tin toys of his WWII childhood that are his first and greatest love.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08- Here we have a toy in its original box.- Wow.- A Rolls Royce, actually.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I bought that many years ago.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- I paid, actually, £600 for it. - Did you really?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Today it's worth about £1,500.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- And the chauffeur's inside.- Yeah. - I think that's amazing, actually.
0:25:21 > 0:25:28- And a real find from that era. How rare is it to find one in this condition?- Extremely rare.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Because they played with them.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35And Alan has another cabinet full of WWII period toys nearby.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Right, Mark, this is what we call our Home Front display.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45It's war toys depicting everything from WWII.
0:25:45 > 0:25:51As you can see, the toy manufacturers started producing all the toys in camouflage.
0:25:51 > 0:25:58A lot of the toymakers were German, mainly Jewish, and they fled Germany in the early '30s, came to England
0:25:58 > 0:26:03and set up manufacturing units here - Spears Games, Mettoy, etc.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07And so these are all basically based on their knowledge and skill.
0:26:07 > 0:26:15- And then after the war the Americans got the Japanese to produce toys, robots etc.- I remember the robots.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18And that kickstarted the Japanese economy.
0:26:18 > 0:26:24- They started producing robots and space toys.- Have you got some? I'm sure you have.- Come over here.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- I've got loads of them. - Oh, wow, Alan!
0:26:28 > 0:26:34- These are fantastic. - This is our robot and space cabinet. Mainly from Japan.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39As a child of the 1960s, this is Mark's era.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41It's bringing back memories.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46Here I've got an early Japanese clockwork toy. You can wind it up.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Oh, wow.- And all the planets go round.- There was that fascination
0:26:50 > 0:26:56- with scifi. You get those B movies from the '50s.- Exactly. And UFOs were being seen everywhere.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01- And it wasn't long before men on the Moon in 1969.- Exactly.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05I do remember as a child I loved all the space television.
0:27:05 > 0:27:12- Captain Scarlet and Thunderbirds. - We've got the original Gerry Anderson car here.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17From the TV series Investigator. That was the original prop.
0:27:17 > 0:27:23Gerry Anderson was the creator who devised puppet series Thunderbirds
0:27:23 > 0:27:26and Captain Scarlet amongst other.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- I was in love with Lady Penelope. - Were you? Ever go out with her?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- No, we never met.- No! - She was a bit short for me.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36A bit wooden!
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Oh, Alan, that's been fantastic. A real trip down memory lane.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Thank you very much.- Great pleasure.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45F.A.B.!
0:27:45 > 0:27:48To the Spitfire and away!
0:27:53 > 0:27:58Meanwhile, Mark Hales has travelled the nine miles to Debden, Essex,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01where he has one final chance to shop.
0:28:02 > 0:28:08Leafy Debden in the Uttlesford area of Essex is rural tranquillity itself.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14In recent years, it's been twinned with the Nepalese village of Tang Ting.
0:28:14 > 0:28:20Not a lot of people know that. Let's hope Mark can look forward to similar co-operation
0:28:20 > 0:28:25- as he heads to Debden Antiques. - My last shop of the entire trip!
0:28:25 > 0:28:30- Ohh! I have to buy one or two items here.- Indeed you do. Hopefully,
0:28:30 > 0:28:34fresh-faced dealer James can be of some assistance.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- Would it be OK if I look around? - Sure.- Thank you very much.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43225. Way out of my league.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Hmm.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Leave well alone.- It's crunch time.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- James...- Yes?- Help. - Oh, Mark.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55OK!
0:28:55 > 0:28:57- Lovely.- Help, James.- Right.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02Look, this is my last hour. I've got about £100 left.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Have you anything you can recommend that I might find attractive?
0:29:06 > 0:29:13- Well...- I've got to buy it, sell it and take the auctioneer's commission off it.- Yes, I feel for you.
0:29:13 > 0:29:20- Ah, bless you, James. - A large, hand-painted vintage ship's nameboard from the vessel...
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- Organs?!- Oh, lordy!
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Ogano.- Thank you.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28On the ticket, £245.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32I've got £100 and 28p.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37And...and what I want, James, right, cos I know you're on my wavelength,
0:29:37 > 0:29:43is something big and showy. It's all a gamble. £100.28.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- You can have that for £100. - I'd better take it.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- And I do want the 28p. - I don't blame you!
0:29:50 > 0:29:55Look, 20, 40, 60, 80, 90,
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- 5, 100.- And 28p.- 28p.
0:29:57 > 0:30:03- James, you got me out of a pickle. - That's all right. I'm sure it will do OK.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07And now you can get it off the wall.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11- OK...- Marvellous. Mark has three lots, at last.
0:30:15 > 0:30:22They've repaired to the rustic environs of Stansted Mountfitchet Castle to unveil their purchases.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27Looks like they've got some company, too. Let's see if we can quack this, shall we?
0:30:27 > 0:30:33- Mark, it's our very last reveal. - I know.- How are you feeling? - A little bit sad about it.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38- Shall I show you?- Yes, please. - Are you ready?- Oh, my goodness, me!
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- Now...- Wow!
0:30:40 > 0:30:45- What do you think?- I love it! - This I think is great.
0:30:45 > 0:30:51- Arts and Crafts copper. - English Tudor roses. Nice wrought iron base, not been cleaned.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56Yes, we know YOU like it, but what does Mark Hales think?
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- Wonderful.- Good, good.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- What are these magnificent... - What have I done, Mark?
0:31:03 > 0:31:11- They're castle door hinges. - They certainly are!- I love them. - Super in the average kitchen(!)
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. - This is an interesting find.
0:31:15 > 0:31:21It does have a Royal Observatory, Greenwich, mark. September, 1917.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- I just thought it was a beautiful little box.- And military is up.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- How much? £25?- 30.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32- Mark, I can't wait any longer. Please, show me all.- Ah, yes.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36I've been terribly brave. All my money is gone.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- Every penny.- Really?- OK?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41What was that look, Mark?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Oh, I like that.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- Ogano. The name of the ship?- Yep.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50I love it. It's really good.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55- 1920s, I think.- How much did you pay for that?- £100 and 28p!
0:31:55 > 0:31:59What about Mark Hales' pretty but pricey jardiniere?
0:31:59 > 0:32:06- I don't need to look under here, but I will. It's Wemyss.- Yes. - I've always loved Wemyss.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- It actually cost me £175. - Oh, that's a fair chunk.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15- And I was thinking 200-300 at auction, hopefully.- You must do.
0:32:15 > 0:32:21- And the tankard? - That's my favourite thing. - GR. So that's George...the Third.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24- It's a lovely Georgian tankard. - I love it.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28£30. It's going to be an interesting auction!
0:32:28 > 0:32:35All very civilised, chaps, but when their rival's back is turned, do the gloves come off?
0:32:35 > 0:32:41The Ogano ship sign. It's a pastiche, of course. Someone's put the portholes on.
0:32:41 > 0:32:46Are they the originals? Possibly. 100 quid? Might be a small profit.
0:32:46 > 0:32:52The Wemyss is very speculative. It's an interesting lot. I love Wemyss.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56175 quid is not bad. Looking forward to the auction,
0:32:56 > 0:33:02but I've said this before. It ain't over until the auctioneer puts his gavel down.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07A lot of objects there. Good for him. I thought he was pretty brave.
0:33:07 > 0:33:12Forget about the hinges. There's bits off, half of one is missing.
0:33:12 > 0:33:18The two boxes he's put together, they are very nice. I like those a lot.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22The military box. Beautiful mahogany box. Lovely.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26Anything could happen at auction. I'm in with a chance.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28On this epic road trip,
0:33:28 > 0:33:33the two Marks have travelled nearly 300 miles through East Anglia.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37On this leg, they started in Clare, Suffolk.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41They're heading now for their final showdown in Colchester, Essex.
0:33:42 > 0:33:49The town has housed a military garrison since as far back as the Roman period
0:33:49 > 0:33:53and was an important city in Ancient Britain.
0:33:53 > 0:33:59Let's hope our Marks can harness a bit of that warrior spirit as they head for their last auction.
0:34:00 > 0:34:08A venerable Colchester institution, Reeman Dansie Auctioneers have been established here since 1881.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Our very final chance.
0:34:12 > 0:34:18- The last auction. - The last dance, the last tango. The last everything.
0:34:18 > 0:34:24- Anything could happen. - And it probably will. Shall we go and find out what's happening?
0:34:27 > 0:34:33Auctioneer James Grinter will be wielding the fateful gavel today.
0:34:33 > 0:34:38But before he takes to the stage, what does he think of our boys' buys?
0:34:38 > 0:34:44The ship's nameboard, sadly, I think we'll probably struggle with that.
0:34:44 > 0:34:50It's not very old. It's not very decorative. And it hasn't got very much quality.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55The tobacco boxes are very stylish, but will there be collectors there?
0:34:55 > 0:35:00My least favourite lots are the pair of iron hinges.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06Mark Stacey started this leg with £511.64.
0:35:06 > 0:35:13He spent £280 exactly and has assembled five lots for his lucre.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19Mark Hales, meanwhile, has spent his entire cash pot,
0:35:19 > 0:35:26a grand total of £305.28, but he's only assembled three lots for his trouble.
0:35:26 > 0:35:33Anything could happen as our pair ready themselves for the final showdown. Look comfy, don't they?
0:35:33 > 0:35:38- Without further ado, I will start I will start.- Oh, this is it.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42First up, Mark Stacey's pair of lead tobacco boxes.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Will they set the saleroom alight or simply smoulder?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47£40 to start me. 40? 40 I have.
0:35:47 > 0:35:5040. I haven't lost everything!
0:35:50 > 0:35:53£42 down there. 42. 44. 46. 48.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57- 50. 5. 60. 5. - Come on, a bit more.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01All done at £65.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05So a less than stellar start for Mark Stacey.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- Thank goodness - a loss! - Charming(!)
0:36:08 > 0:36:14It's boxes, boxes everywhere as Mark Stacey's next lot takes the stage.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17£40 to start me. 40 I have now.
0:36:17 > 0:36:2040. 42. 44.
0:36:20 > 0:36:2246. 48. 50.
0:36:22 > 0:36:2455. 60.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- Well, I've got my money back. - Any advance?
0:36:28 > 0:36:32All done now at £60. All done?
0:36:32 > 0:36:38They held their value, but that's a loss after the auction house's commission.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Is it Mark Hales' chance to catch up?
0:36:41 > 0:36:47- I thought there might be a £20, £30 profit.- I thought they'd make 120 in a sale like this.
0:36:47 > 0:36:53So Mark Hales' first lot now as his Wemyss jardiniere meets the saleroom.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55What do you say to start me? £100?
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- £100 I have down here now. At £100.- Come on.- 110.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02120. 130. 140. 150.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07- 160. 170.- Good.- 180. - That's my money back.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10At £190 bid. 190. 200?
0:37:10 > 0:37:13I'm going to sell. All done at 190.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17A profit, but not the one he'd hoped for.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21He'll still need a flyer to catch up.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26- I've got to laugh. - You made a £15 profit, Mark.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Enough of the sighing, boys.
0:37:28 > 0:37:34Maybe Mark Stacey's Arts and Crafts fire screen will ignite the saleroom's interest.
0:37:34 > 0:37:3730? £30 to start me somewhere. £30.
0:37:37 > 0:37:4032. 34. 36.
0:37:40 > 0:37:4138. 40.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45At 40. 42. 44. 46. 48.
0:37:45 > 0:37:4850. At £50. Gentleman at the back.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- That's good.- It's good.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53At £50.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58- Another modest profit. - Well done, Mark, yes.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Add that to the coffers.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06One now for Mark Hales as his antique tankard is up.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- £30 to start me. 30 I have. - Show me a profit.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13At £30. Do I have 32? £30 is bid.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- 32 anywhere?- No.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18At £30. All done.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21NOT what he hoped for.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Oh, dear. Story of my life. - Don't despair.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28You've still got the Ogano ship sign.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Indeed he does!
0:38:30 > 0:38:36But the next lot hinges on what the punters make of Mark Stacey's...hinges.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- These weren't my favourite at all. - I really regret buying these.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- I can't look.- Don't give him 30.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- Oh, no...- Please don't.- 32.
0:38:45 > 0:38:4834. 36. 38.
0:38:48 > 0:38:5140. 2. 44. 46.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- 48. 50.- No!
0:38:53 > 0:38:5555. 60.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59- 65. 70. - Are we having a snooze?
0:38:59 > 0:39:05- You're going to wake up in a moment. - 95. 100. At £100. Going to sell.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08All done. At £100.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12An unexpected triumph for Mark Stacey. Lovely.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16I'm really not as unhinged as I thought I was.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21Don't know about that! But this certainly widens Mark Stacey's lead.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- #- We're in the money...- #
0:39:23 > 0:39:27Right. After that stunner from Mark Stacey,
0:39:27 > 0:39:33the ship's sign would really have to have the wind in its sails if it's to redeem Mark Hales.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36£30 for it. 30 I have down here.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39At 32. Make it 34?
0:39:39 > 0:39:4234. 36. 38.
0:39:42 > 0:39:4440 I have. Another place.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- 42.- It's climbing very slowly.
0:39:47 > 0:39:5044. 46. 48. 50. At £50.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Against you. 55? 55.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56- 60. 65.- Fresh bidder.- 70.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01Oh. Clawing its way. Clawing its way.
0:40:01 > 0:40:0385. 90.
0:40:03 > 0:40:0595.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09At £95. In the far corner at 95.
0:40:09 > 0:40:14I'm going to sell. Against you all at 95.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18It fails to sail, sadly, for Mark Hales.
0:40:20 > 0:40:26Finally now, Mark Stacey's intriguing mahogany deck watch box. Minus the watch.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Might it sail off into the sunset?
0:40:29 > 0:40:33I have two commissions with me. I go straight in at £100 with me.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- At 100. 110.- Gosh! - 120. 130. 140.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40150. 160. 170. 180.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- At £180. Still with me. 190. - Well done, Mark.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47At 200 on the book now.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51200 against you on the internet. At £200. It's going to be sold.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53All done at £200?
0:40:53 > 0:40:58Mark Stacey, you look quite flabbergasted.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02- Well done. - That lot certainly went tick-tock.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07A stonking profit for Mark Stacey and his victory is decisive.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09- I don't know what to say.- Fantastic.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Attack of the vapours, Mark? So a run of bad luck for Mark Hales
0:41:15 > 0:41:23and an absolute flyer on the deck watch box mean Mark Stacey is the king of this road trip!
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- Very well done, Mark.- Thank you. - You did really well.
0:41:30 > 0:41:35Mark Hales started this final leg with £305.28.
0:41:35 > 0:41:40After auction costs, he made an unfortunate loss of £46.98
0:41:40 > 0:41:44and finishes the road trip with £258.30.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Bad luck.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53Mark Stacey began with £511.64
0:41:53 > 0:41:59and with the help of that deck watch made a terrific £109.50 profit today
0:41:59 > 0:42:04giving him a victorious total of £621.14.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09All the money our boys have made will go to Children In Need.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- Well, Mark, what an auction that was.- Yes. You did terribly well.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15- Highs and lows.- Highs and lows.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20- But we had some good results throughout the week. - We certainly did.
0:42:20 > 0:42:26But having said that, it's not just about the profit. It's about the fun, Mark.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- Yeah, lots of fun along the way. - We've had that.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36Well, this has certainly been a week of trenchant competition
0:42:36 > 0:42:40and high drama for our two remarkable Marks.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42# Sun is shining in the sky
0:42:42 > 0:42:46# There ain't a cloud in sight
0:42:46 > 0:42:50# It's stopped raining Everybody's... #
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- They've experienced joy...- Yes!
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- ..and pain!- That hurts.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00- There have been frustrations... - How very dare you!
0:43:00 > 0:43:05- ..and revelations. - I'm looking for...antiques.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09- But it's never been predictable. - Oh!
0:43:09 > 0:43:13- And they've always been friends in the end.- I nearly kissed you.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Onwards!
0:43:19 > 0:43:26Next week on Antiques Road Trip: we're with two dashing gents on the hunt for a bargain.
0:43:26 > 0:43:32- We've got Thomas Plant, who is always calm under pressure. - What have I done?!
0:43:32 > 0:43:38- And James finds his long-lost twin. - Any resemblance to me is merely coincidental.
