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

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

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

0:00:12 > 0:00:13I'm going to go for it.

0:00:13 > 0:00:16The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.

0:00:16 > 0:00:18But it's no mean feat.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.

0:00:21 > 0:00:22Goodness gracious me.

0:00:22 > 0:00:27Will it be the high road to glory or slow road to disaster?

0:00:27 > 0:00:29It's not nice to gloat.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip!

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!

0:00:37 > 0:00:41The sun is out in Wiltshire, and our lovable antiques experts -

0:00:41 > 0:00:46Charlie Ross and Catherine Southon - are jostling along famously.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Oh, look at these animals! The little baby sheep!

0:00:50 > 0:00:51- Oh, sheep!- Oh, look at the lamb!

0:00:51 > 0:00:55- I could do with a rack of lamb for supper.- That's awful!

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Young Catherine has taken up the gavel,

0:00:58 > 0:01:01starting her own auctioneering business.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05And she's no slouch when it comes to driving a bargain, either.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07- 40.- Oh, come on!

0:01:07 > 0:01:12Old dog Charlie travels the world auctioneering fine vintage cars,

0:01:12 > 0:01:16and he's not too short on the old vroom-vroom-vroom himself!

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Mwah! This is the most golden day of my life!

0:01:19 > 0:01:23Our esteemed experts started the week with £200 each,

0:01:23 > 0:01:26but one auction later it's all change.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Charlie had one devastating loss,

0:01:29 > 0:01:35so he starts this leg with a rather ephemeral £103.04.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Catherine's profits soared.

0:01:38 > 0:01:43However, she now has a tangible £216.56 to play with.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46- You made a profit. - # I'm in the money! #

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Our gorgeous couple are cosying up

0:01:48 > 0:01:51in a classic 1966 Austin-Healey Sprite.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54It has no roof...at all,

0:01:54 > 0:01:58but on a day like today, who cares?

0:01:58 > 0:02:00(BOTH) # I can see clearly now

0:02:00 > 0:02:03# The rain has gone

0:02:03 > 0:02:08# I can see all obstacles In my way #

0:02:08 > 0:02:10And there's a few of those!

0:02:10 > 0:02:14- # It's going to be a bright - # Bright

0:02:14 > 0:02:16# Bright sun-shiny day #

0:02:16 > 0:02:20This week's road trip takes us on a leisurely route eastwards,

0:02:20 > 0:02:22starting at the Wiltshire countryside,

0:02:22 > 0:02:24skirting along the south coast

0:02:24 > 0:02:27and ending up in Rye, East Sussex.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31We're kicking off in Marlborough, criss-crossing through Wiltshire and Berkshire,

0:02:31 > 0:02:33popping over to Hampshire

0:02:33 > 0:02:37and ending up at an auction in Wareham, Dorset.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Our experts are starting today's shopping in Marlborough,

0:02:42 > 0:02:46which was granted market-town status in 1204 by King John,

0:02:46 > 0:02:48he of Robin Hood fame.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Antiques, Charlie!

0:02:50 > 0:02:55- Come on! Charlie! Come on! - There's not much point me coming in. I haven't got any money.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59- I'll lend you some money. Come on. - Ooh, Miss Southon!

0:02:59 > 0:03:01How very charitable of you, Catherine.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05Although I'm sure Robin Hood wore green tights, didn't he?!

0:03:07 > 0:03:10This large antique centre is a treasure trove of a place,

0:03:10 > 0:03:12with the wares of over 30 dealers.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Surely there'll be something here for our competitive duo.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Although Charlie's feeling the pressure...

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Alas, it's tough at the bottom!

0:03:22 > 0:03:27Come along, now, I'm sure you'll find something to get your teeth into.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Eurgh!

0:03:29 > 0:03:34Gosh, what an extraordinary thing. It's a hammerhead shark!

0:03:34 > 0:03:38Or is it Miss Southon?! It looks rather like her!

0:03:38 > 0:03:41THEME FROM JAWS

0:03:41 > 0:03:45Just when you thought it was safe to go back into an antique shop...

0:03:45 > 0:03:47MUSIC BUILDS

0:03:53 > 0:03:54Ooh.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00- You know what this is, don't you? - I don't.- It's a wool winder.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02You pull that out...

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- 1800s this was made. Isn't that...? - That's lovely.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Look how beautiful that's been made.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11So a wool winder, for winding your wool in and out.

0:04:11 > 0:04:16It's known as a swift. I think there's probably a little bit missing off the top.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19How much would you do on that? It's got 43 on it.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23- The best we would do on that would be 38.- Right.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27- I can't push it to 35?- 36.

0:04:27 > 0:04:3136. Right. Yes, I might have a go on that one.

0:04:31 > 0:04:36That's not a bad price. But Catherine's pulling out all the stops now.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39£30 for the swift and we're done.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42- You said 35. £30 for the swift. - I can't.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- I can't do that.- Can you not? - No, I can't.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48- It's no good doing that! - Look into my eyes!

0:04:48 > 0:04:53- I've been done with that before. - You've got lovely eyes!- Thank you. I hope that's not being recorded!

0:04:53 > 0:04:57Catherine, you are completely shameless!

0:04:57 > 0:05:02- I'm rubbish at making decisions! - Go on, buy it. It's worth a go.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06- It's unusual.- Oh, go on, then.- Yes?

0:05:06 > 0:05:09- 32? 33.- 35!

0:05:09 > 0:05:13- 33.- 36.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Come on, give me 33.- 35.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18- (33.)- 35.- (33.)- 35.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Thank you!

0:05:20 > 0:05:24All that eye-fluttering got you absolutely nowhere.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Well resisted, Gary!

0:05:26 > 0:05:30There was no negotiation there whatsoever!

0:05:31 > 0:05:36- There was.- No, there wasn't! - I'll give you a pound.- Oh, pfft!

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Uh-oh, someone's earwigging in the next aisle.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Gary!- Yes?- Is she trying the female charms with you?

0:05:43 > 0:05:46- She's trying. - You promised me they wouldn't work.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49- She's fluttering her eyelids. - No, I'm not!

0:05:49 > 0:05:53- I'm just merely making friends! - Miss Southon, how dare you?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56I haven't tried that with Bob yet.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03There's a nice little brooch there. I don't normally buy jewellery.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07It's a lady and a gentleman, arm in arm. A bit like Charlie and I, actually.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10The gentleman's tall and slender.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14Not quite like Charlie, but... you get the idea.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Oh, you meanie!

0:06:16 > 0:06:20This Art Deco-style brooch is £48, but the dealer's not in

0:06:20 > 0:06:23so there won't be much room for manoeuvre.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25He probably would do 40 on that.

0:06:25 > 0:06:2840. He'd come down to 40. I quite like that.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30This is a lovely piece.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Do you think he'd come down to 38? - He won't.- He won't?- He will do 40.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37So 40... 48 to 40.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41I might take a bit of a punt on that one.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44So Catherine's made up her mind.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47That's the wool winder and the silver-plated brooch for £75.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Charlie still hasn't parted with any of his money, though.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Maybe because he hasn't got very much.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Dig deep, Charlie. Dig deep.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Oh, beer bottles.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02"Royal Wedding Ale.

0:07:02 > 0:07:08"Specially brewed in celebration of the marriage of HRH Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10"29th July 1981."

0:07:10 > 0:07:13I think that's really rather good. How much is that?

0:07:13 > 0:07:17Two pounds. So in my budget!

0:07:18 > 0:07:21I could buy so many of those!

0:07:21 > 0:07:23I think that's fab.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27I would've thought that must be what I would call a collector's item.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Bob, this is your happy moment. - It is, sir.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33I think that's all I can really afford in my budget.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37- It's £2, isn't it? No discount? - No discount, I'm afraid.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Seeing as you're such a nice chap, you can have a free gift, sir.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43- What, Royal Wedding ale? - Absolutely.

0:07:43 > 0:07:48- I've got to pay you something. Could I find a coin? - You can find a coin, yes.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50I hope I can find a small coin!

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Oh, no! I think that's five...

0:07:54 > 0:07:57- ..I think it's 5p! - That'll do fine, sir.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Would you take five?- Very well. - You're a gentleman!

0:07:59 > 0:08:01BOTH: Thank you very much.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Royal Wedding ale, 5p!

0:08:04 > 0:08:09- Bob, if it doesn't sell, I'll drink it and think of you. Thank you.- Thank you.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Last of the big spenders, eh?

0:08:15 > 0:08:19With their shopping completed in Marlborough, it's time for Charlie and Catherine to hit the road,

0:08:19 > 0:08:22if only they could remember where they were going.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Hold on. Where did we just go? We were in...Marlborough.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28- We were in Marlborough.- We were. And we're going to Hungerford.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31- We're going to Hungerford. - All right? OK with that?

0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Yes. Good job I'm driving! - No, I disagree.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38Just to clarify, our experts are leaving Marlborough in the dust

0:08:38 > 0:08:42and heading ten miles east to Hungerford in Berkshire.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Hungerford! Twinned with "Ligueil"!

0:08:46 > 0:08:51Hungerford Arcade Antique Centre is one of the oldest antique centres in the country

0:08:51 > 0:08:55and houses the goodies of over 100 dealers.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59Now, it's just a case of finding a super helpful one, like our Rita here.

0:08:59 > 0:09:05Have you got something that you managed to buy for very little that you could let me have?

0:09:05 > 0:09:08- I've got a beautiful- Orifice - crystal bowl.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Orrefors, I think! Not orifice, darling!

0:09:11 > 0:09:15That would never do! I can't have an orifice bowl!

0:09:15 > 0:09:17That wouldn't be allowed!

0:09:17 > 0:09:21Orrefors I think is what you mean! Where is it?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Ooh, how lovely!

0:09:23 > 0:09:27Ooh, lovely cutting on that! Goodness gracious me!

0:09:27 > 0:09:31- It's called "Thousand Windows". - Is that the pattern?

0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Because of the cut. - How interesting.

0:09:34 > 0:09:40"Thousand Windows" bowls and vases were designed by artist Simon Gate

0:09:40 > 0:09:45for the Swedish glass manufacturers Orrefor in the early 20th century.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48They were so named because of the clever design,

0:09:48 > 0:09:51which made it appear as if there were multiple lenses in the glass.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55The ticket price on this one is £150,

0:09:55 > 0:09:57way over your meagre budget, Charlie.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Look, listen to this... - PING ECHOES

0:10:00 > 0:10:03- It's that glorious sound! - Isn't that fabulous?

0:10:03 > 0:10:08- PING! - # Mmmmm! I don't like the price!

0:10:08 > 0:10:12# I'd like it to be So much cheaperrrrr! #

0:10:13 > 0:10:15What sort of money is that to me?

0:10:15 > 0:10:21- You know, on a wet day...- A wet day. - ..with me putting my arm around you? - And you've only got £100.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24Well, I've got to buy about five things with £100, darling.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26If you bought this for 75,

0:10:26 > 0:10:30I can find four things for you elsewhere for the 25.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34That's quite good. Let's put that on one side. I'm in such a...

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Oh, I'm in such a quandary, darling!

0:10:37 > 0:10:40While Charlie thinks about that one,

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Catherine has found a rather attractive German game skewer. As you do...

0:10:44 > 0:10:47This is silver-plated. It's stamped with the letter "O"

0:10:47 > 0:10:50and telling us that it's silver-plated.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54- It's a letter opener. - Are you sure about that, Catherine?

0:10:54 > 0:10:59But it's got a lovely little bird on the top, a game bird.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03- I'm guessing it's a...- A grouse. - Yes.- I think so.- I like it.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07- It's fun, anyway. You can just imagine opening your letters. - Absolutely.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10It's priced at 59, Adrian.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14If you could get that for me at a reasonable price...

0:11:14 > 0:11:1725 would be delicious, but...

0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Well, she's a delicious lady, but I'm not sure. We can try.- OK!

0:11:20 > 0:11:25Antique Centre manager Adrian just needs to track down the dealer Sharon.

0:11:25 > 0:11:31If I can get that for about £30, I think that's going to make me a little profit.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33That's absolutely brilliant.

0:11:33 > 0:11:38I'm very, very happy with that. And I haven't even bought it yet!

0:11:38 > 0:11:41You've got 59 on it.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43What would be your bottom price?

0:11:43 > 0:11:48Oh, gosh. Erm... I was hoping for a little bit less than that.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Can we say 30?

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Shall we meet in the middle, then, on that and say 35?

0:11:54 > 0:11:5838. OK, Sharon, I think you've got yourself a deal on that one.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Thank you very much indeed.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04- I think it's stylish and fun! - I reckon so, too.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06- There's your phone...- Oh, yes!

0:12:06 > 0:12:10- ..here's my letter opener, there's my hand.- My hand. - All you need now is the cash.

0:12:10 > 0:12:15Catherine's up and running. Now, what about cash-strapped Charlie?

0:12:15 > 0:12:19I'm in a real muddle here, financially.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Can you do your bowl for £50, or does that really...?

0:12:22 > 0:12:24- Why not?- Why not?!

0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Because it's not a lot of money, really!- I know!

0:12:28 > 0:12:30That's the real reason!

0:12:30 > 0:12:33£100 off? I'd snap that up, Charlie!

0:12:33 > 0:12:37Oh, go on. I'll have the bowl, darling!

0:12:37 > 0:12:39I'll have a bit of silver, as well.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42The little bottle, which I love the shape...

0:12:42 > 0:12:46- Yes.- It's shaped rather like you, if I may say so, Rita!- Oh, I wish!

0:12:46 > 0:12:50- I wish!- It's got those rather nice curvaceous lines!

0:12:50 > 0:12:54Dirty beast! It's £55, but Charlie would like it cheaper.

0:12:54 > 0:12:59Could I have that little thing for £20? That would be £70 for two.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02You couldn't do 75?

0:13:02 > 0:13:06For you, darling, I'd do absolutely anything. I'd stand on my head if you like. 75.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10- Is that all right?- Can you do that? - Yes.- God, I do love you.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Melt into my arms and tell me I'm the only one for you.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17You're gorgeous! You are gorgeous!

0:13:17 > 0:13:19You charmer!

0:13:19 > 0:13:22- 40...- So £75 later,

0:13:22 > 0:13:27Charlie's now the proud owner of an Orrefor bowl and a perfume jar,

0:13:27 > 0:13:30so he's off to his next shop.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34Can Catherine work some of her magic on the charming Rita?

0:13:34 > 0:13:36That's what I like.

0:13:36 > 0:13:41- So, what it is is a travelling barometer thermometer...- It is.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44..in a little gentleman's case.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Is it working, Rita? - Complete working order, yes.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49- It's lovely, that is.- Yes.

0:13:49 > 0:13:54I should think, once upon a time, when this was bought, it was quite a smart gift.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56- British made! There we are!- Yes.

0:13:56 > 0:14:02- Short & Mason. So barometer, and on the side, thermometer.- Yes.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05Let's see if the temperature's rising in here.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Ooh, yes! The temperature's rising!

0:14:08 > 0:14:11- What have you got on that?- 95.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14- 95... You call it a weather station. - Yes.

0:14:14 > 0:14:1795. What could you do on that, Rita?

0:14:17 > 0:14:20Erm, what about 50?

0:14:21 > 0:14:24Any chance of a little bit more?

0:14:24 > 0:14:26- 45?- 45...

0:14:26 > 0:14:29- I can't go lower than that! - You can't go lower than 45.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31I think that's pretty fair.

0:14:31 > 0:14:36- I tell you what, if you let me have that for 40, I'll have it.- 40!

0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Is that cheeky? - I don't know if I can do it for 40!

0:14:40 > 0:14:45- You can't do 45?- I suppose I could, but I'd love to do 40.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49- I would do it for 40 for you. - Ah, will you?

0:14:49 > 0:14:53Oh, go on, then. Definitely 40. I'm definitely having that at 40.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57Ooh, she drives a hard bargain, that one.

0:14:57 > 0:15:03Charlie has arrived at Dairy House Antiques in Semley with less than £30 in his pocket.

0:15:03 > 0:15:04Dear old thing!

0:15:04 > 0:15:08But can owner Sue find something that fits Charlie's budget?

0:15:08 > 0:15:12- I would like a bit of silver. - A silver thimble?- Yes!

0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Or perhaps two?- Or three? - No, probably two!

0:15:15 > 0:15:19One for each of my fingers! That would be rather good!

0:15:19 > 0:15:23- Who are they by? - A couple of Charles Horner.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Charles Horner, the hatpin man. - Yes.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29- He's a good maker, isn't he? - Not bad.- Not bad at all.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Oh, aren't they pretty?

0:15:31 > 0:15:34- What prices have we got on these? - Erm...

0:15:34 > 0:15:3820 quid on that one and 20 quid... That's 40 quid.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Are these buyable for half price?

0:15:41 > 0:15:47- 20 quid?- No. Can't do half price. No!- No!- I can't do half price.

0:15:47 > 0:15:52It looks like one Charles Horner and one cheaper thimble is the way forward.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54This is what it's come down to, Miss Southon -

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Roscoe looking at thimbles.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01- You can do better on that one. - I could do that and one of...

0:16:01 > 0:16:05- What, for 20 quid? - For 25. Come along!

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Well, why don't I do those two?

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Is that the right two?

0:16:10 > 0:16:14Ssh! I've switched 'em!

0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Yes, why don't you?- I'm a member of The Magic Circle, you know?

0:16:17 > 0:16:19When you look in your cupboard, you'll find them all gone!

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Top work, Charlie. And with £25 agreed for the thimbles,

0:16:23 > 0:16:27that's your shopping all stitched up for today.

0:16:27 > 0:16:32Catherine has put her purse away and is travelling 35 miles east from Hungerford

0:16:32 > 0:16:36to the country estate of Stratfield Saye.

0:16:36 > 0:16:41She's come to meet Lord Douro, son of the eighth Duke of Wellington,

0:16:41 > 0:16:44at his country home,

0:16:44 > 0:16:46for it's here the funeral carriage

0:16:46 > 0:16:50for the first and most famous Duke of Wellington is kept.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54Wow. This is quite spectacular.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Isn't this something?

0:16:56 > 0:16:59This was made specially, of course,

0:16:59 > 0:17:03for to carry the coffin from Horse Guards

0:17:03 > 0:17:07all the way to St Paul's.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11The first Duke of Wellington was born in 1769

0:17:11 > 0:17:15and went on to become one of Britain's most famous military heroes.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18He led the Allied armies against Napoleon,

0:17:18 > 0:17:24ultimately defeating him at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1814.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28Up there, of course, are the names of some of the more important battles.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Here is "Waterloo" written... - Oh, yes.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34And then there are the lion's heads all the way along.

0:17:34 > 0:17:39- This, I believe, you said is the bronze cannon.- And it's taken from,

0:17:39 > 0:17:42melted down, some of the cannons captured at Waterloo,

0:17:42 > 0:17:47and they used the bronze to make into this enormous structure.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49- I think that's fabulous.- I know.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53I think that is absolutely fabulous that the cannons were melted down to make this carriage.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57You get the real sense of size here.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Was the coffin...?- On the very top. - It was on the very top.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03In fact, if the coffin was still there,

0:18:03 > 0:18:07it wouldn't have fitted in here!

0:18:07 > 0:18:11After his death, Parliament decided the Duke should have a full state funeral

0:18:11 > 0:18:13to honour his achievements.

0:18:13 > 0:18:18But that gave the craftsmen very little time to create this grand carriage.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21The craftsmen who were asked to do the construction,

0:18:21 > 0:18:27they knew they had no more than three weeks to get it done,

0:18:27 > 0:18:31and I'm sure they all had to work day and night without stopping.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34Queen Victoria was determined that there should be

0:18:34 > 0:18:37full public recognition at the funeral,

0:18:37 > 0:18:39and so this carriage was meant to symbolise

0:18:39 > 0:18:43the importance which the government and the people

0:18:43 > 0:18:46attached to this funeral.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52It was reported that over a million people crammed into the streets of London

0:18:52 > 0:18:56to watch the funeral procession go by.

0:18:56 > 0:19:01Wellington will forever be associated with his horse, Copenhagen,

0:19:01 > 0:19:04who he famously rode for 12 hours nonstop

0:19:04 > 0:19:07during the Battle of Waterloo.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10His trusty steed died long before the Duke,

0:19:10 > 0:19:15but the memory lived on at the funeral, symbolised by a riderless horse.

0:19:15 > 0:19:20Famously, the riderless horse was in the procession,

0:19:20 > 0:19:23led by the groom, John Mears.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26And that, I believe,

0:19:26 > 0:19:29everybody found that a very moving moment when that passed.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34This funeral is the largest Britain has ever seen,

0:19:34 > 0:19:39and the Duke's popularity continued to grow long afterwards.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42With the passage of time, he became even more revered

0:19:42 > 0:19:46and more acknowledged than right at the beginning.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49So it was an extraordinary life.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52He remained Commander in Chief right up to the day of his death.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55That's quite an achievement, isn't it? That really is.

0:19:55 > 0:19:59It's been such a pleasure for me. Thank you for your time.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02- I do appreciate it. - Delighted you could come and see it.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Well, what a treat for Catherine.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09The time has come for our experts to rest their weary heads.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Night-night.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Day two and the heavens have opened.

0:20:17 > 0:20:22In the absence of our roof, our experts have had to put on their thinking caps.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25My eyebrows are drenched

0:20:25 > 0:20:29and my eyelashes are so wet I can't see!

0:20:29 > 0:20:32They must make hoods for these cars, mustn't they?

0:20:33 > 0:20:38So far, Catherine has spent £153 on four items -

0:20:38 > 0:20:42a silver-plated game skewer, a travelling weather station,

0:20:42 > 0:20:45an Art Deco-style brooch and a wool winder,

0:20:45 > 0:20:49leaving her with £63.56 still to play with.

0:20:49 > 0:20:50Thank you.

0:20:52 > 0:20:57Charlie, on the other hand, has spent £100.5 on four items -

0:20:57 > 0:21:00two silver thimbles, a bottle of ale,

0:21:00 > 0:21:03an Orrefor bowl and a perfume jar with a silver lid.

0:21:03 > 0:21:08That leaves him with a gargantuan £2.99 to spend today.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Tell me I'm the only one for you. - You're gorgeous!

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Catherine and Charlie are heading southwest

0:21:15 > 0:21:18towards the city of Salisbury in Wiltshire.

0:21:20 > 0:21:21At last.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24I feel disgusting.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26You look gorgeous.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Remember the challenge - buy something decent.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Something really nice with three pounds and fourpence.

0:21:31 > 0:21:36Er, actually, Charlie, you've only got £2.99.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39And a bath hat.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42It's cold and it's wet,

0:21:42 > 0:21:46- I've got £3.04... - No, you don't!

0:21:46 > 0:21:50..Miss Southon's winning, I'm losing,

0:21:50 > 0:21:55- and I want to go home. - You've got £2.99, you old codger.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59A-ha, it's seems that Charlie's made another mistake here.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03He appears to have forgotten he bought a bottle of old ale for 5p,

0:22:03 > 0:22:07so his budget is actually even smaller than he thinks.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09I found something for £5 downstairs

0:22:09 > 0:22:12and I'm really hoping that they'll take £3.04.

0:22:12 > 0:22:17£22. I don't think that's going to come down to £3.04.

0:22:17 > 0:22:22Excuse me. I'm afraid it's £10. £3.04 wouldn't do it?

0:22:22 > 0:22:26No, it wouldn't, you poor, deluded fellow!

0:22:26 > 0:22:32Being an auctioneer of vintage cars, these should be up Charlie's street, and they look cheap.

0:22:32 > 0:22:36These are old motor racing programmes

0:22:36 > 0:22:39from meetings in the '50s and '60s.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Amazing, those wonderful old Maseratis

0:22:42 > 0:22:44and BRMs they used to race then.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46The programmes are quite collectable

0:22:46 > 0:22:50and they're very well priced here - £5.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53There's one of Silverstone, which is my local race track,

0:22:53 > 0:22:57and that's from an international meeting of 1961.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59The trouble is, it's priced at £5,

0:22:59 > 0:23:04- and I only have £3.04. - Oh, my gawd, I give up!

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Peter! I wonder if I may borrow you for a moment.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10There's a programme down here for £5.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12- Do you want to have a look?- May I?

0:23:12 > 0:23:16Now, I have, in the world,

0:23:16 > 0:23:18£3.04!

0:23:18 > 0:23:21HE CHUCKLES

0:23:21 > 0:23:25Would it be too rude to offer you £3.04?

0:23:25 > 0:23:27- I'm sure that will be fine. - Are you sure?- Yes.

0:23:27 > 0:23:32£3.04 - Silverstone catalogue.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Worth?

0:23:34 > 0:23:36£3.04.

0:23:36 > 0:23:41And now, Charlie, you are officially in the red.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44With his shopping definitely over,

0:23:44 > 0:23:47Charlie only has a short trip across Salisbury

0:23:47 > 0:23:49to visit the former home of a prime minister.

0:23:49 > 0:23:55Arundells is the house Sir Edward Heath lived in for the last 20 years of his life,

0:23:55 > 0:24:00and curator and long-time employee Stuart Craven is going to show Charlie around.

0:24:00 > 0:24:06- Ah!- Hello. Charlie Ross. - Stuart Craven. Pleased to meet you. - Lovely to meet you.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Leader of the Conservative Party,

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Ted Heath became prime minister in 1970

0:24:11 > 0:24:13for less than four years,

0:24:13 > 0:24:17but one of the most difficult periods of recent British history.

0:24:17 > 0:24:22The most extraordinary collection of photographs I think I've ever seen.

0:24:22 > 0:24:26Yes, it is. It's a little document of history, in fact,

0:24:26 > 0:24:28on all his peers of the time,

0:24:28 > 0:24:31whether they be religious leaders or royalty.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35Gandhi, Chairman Mao, Khrushchev, Castro...

0:24:35 > 0:24:39- Never-ending!- It's an element of history, isn't it?

0:24:39 > 0:24:41And Margaret Thatcher. Did they get on?

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Notoriously not, according to the Press.

0:24:43 > 0:24:48But, in fact, she spoke very warmly at a funeral here in 2005.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Ahh.- He never used to speak about it much,

0:24:51 > 0:24:54so I guess it was all history.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Ted Heath collected works of art

0:24:57 > 0:25:02and the house is a showcase for many famous artists, such as Lowry.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06But he also has a painting by a more unexpected artist.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08WSC - initials I recognise.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Absolutely. Winston Spencer Churchill.- Yes.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14- I love that. I love the colours. - This is interesting,

0:25:14 > 0:25:18because Sir Edward was concerned that Winston never signed his paintings.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Sir Edward was concerned that the value of this might depreciate,

0:25:21 > 0:25:24so he said, "Sir, could you sign the painting?"

0:25:24 > 0:25:26He took it back to Winston Churchill,

0:25:26 > 0:25:30and there you see the signature on the bottom right.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32- He was very delighted with that. - Yes.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36Got it home and discovered the original signature on the bottom left.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Double signed! - He was very pleased with that.

0:25:39 > 0:25:44Proud of the fact that it was the only double-signature Churchill.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47ORCHESTRAL MUSIC

0:25:47 > 0:25:49But there was far more to Ted Heath

0:25:49 > 0:25:52than a life on the international stage.

0:25:52 > 0:25:57He conducted between 50 or 60 of the world's leading orchestras - an amazing feat -

0:25:57 > 0:26:00including all the orchestras in Europe and the Americas.

0:26:00 > 0:26:05You've got to be an amazingly accomplished musician to conduct.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Playing an instrument is one thing,

0:26:07 > 0:26:11but being in control of four or five different facets at the same time...

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Absolutely. I think he was quite accomplished.

0:26:14 > 0:26:19He said that if politics hadn't shaped his life, he might've gone into the music industry,

0:26:19 > 0:26:21and I think he probably would've been very good.

0:26:22 > 0:26:27As well as an accomplished musician, Heath also wrote several books

0:26:27 > 0:26:29and was a world-class sailor.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31He came from a humble background.

0:26:31 > 0:26:35- His mother was a lady's maid and his father a carpenter.- Yes.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38So to achieve that level of greatness,

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- I think, is a wonderful achievement. - I mean, huge drive.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44To take up sailing at 50

0:26:44 > 0:26:47and then within a few years, win things like the Admiral's Cup -

0:26:47 > 0:26:51- quite remarkable!- I wish I could achieve one thing as great as that, let alone three.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53It's been the most wonderful trip.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56I'd like to have been here for a week really.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Well, sadly, you can't do that, Charlie.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02But you can go and put your feet up for a while.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Back in the city centre,

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Catherine's following in Charlie's footsteps

0:27:06 > 0:27:10by heading into the Salisbury Antique and Collectors Market.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13Unlike Charlie, however, she has over £60 to spend,

0:27:13 > 0:27:17and owner Peter's going to help her spend it.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21What about that cayenne pepper with the devil?

0:27:21 > 0:27:26- Is that silver on the top? - Yes. That's Birmingham 1913.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29Now, that is lovely. I like that.

0:27:29 > 0:27:34You've got a little devil on the top of a spoon.

0:27:34 > 0:27:38You'd use your spoon, that would go in your jar,

0:27:38 > 0:27:40and pull out your little bit of pepper.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42I think that's fabulous.

0:27:42 > 0:27:46It's actually marked up at £78. That's a bit punchy.

0:27:46 > 0:27:51I'd really need to get that down to 50 in order for me to buy it.

0:27:51 > 0:27:55But will the dealer be willing to let it go for that?

0:27:55 > 0:28:00That's very nice. It's nice when people say they'd like me to beat Charlie!

0:28:00 > 0:28:02Thank you very much for your time.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Bye-bye.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07Lovely man.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11£50 - what a good deal. But not good enough for Catherine.

0:28:11 > 0:28:16Peter, I am very tempted by the devil.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Can I do £48?

0:28:18 > 0:28:21Oh, come on, Peter! 48.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24- She's got a nerve.- 49.

0:28:25 > 0:28:2849? You won't go to 48?

0:28:28 > 0:28:31Go on, then, 49! One pound!

0:28:31 > 0:28:34That's a very limp handshake there, Peter.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36- Do you not mean this?- Naughty!

0:28:36 > 0:28:40Well, that's Catherine's shopping over. Thank goodness.

0:28:40 > 0:28:45Now, it's time for our experts to reveal all to each other. Well, almost.

0:28:45 > 0:28:49It's been nothing but a disaster, but I will show you my disasters.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51# Ta-ta-ta-da! #

0:28:51 > 0:28:55- Ohh!- Maybe not so bad.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58- I love this.- Catherine's spotted the little perfume bottle.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01But not everything about it is quite how it should be.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04- I bought it while it was in the cabinet.- Yes.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07Not a good idea. Always look at the items.

0:29:07 > 0:29:11- It has got...the wrong top.- Oh, no!

0:29:11 > 0:29:13It's pathetic, isn't it?

0:29:13 > 0:29:16It looks beautiful. I love the shape and the cut.

0:29:16 > 0:29:21- I'm just hoping somebody in the back of the room will - - Be as stupid as you are.- Ouch!

0:29:21 > 0:29:23That's a little unkind, but quite true.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26Most of my money went into the Orrefors glass.

0:29:26 > 0:29:29Since buying it I have done some research.

0:29:29 > 0:29:34The good news is, I've found one on the market for 690.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37- Right.- Which is encouraging.- Yes.

0:29:37 > 0:29:38Less-than-encouraging news

0:29:38 > 0:29:43is that I've also found one at £12.50!

0:29:43 > 0:29:47So we have the gamble of all gambles there!

0:29:47 > 0:29:50Now, enough of my rubbish. Let's get onto your goodies.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53I'll show you my goodies. They're oddities.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55Ohh!

0:29:55 > 0:29:59First up, it's Catherine's silver grouse.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02- Isn't that lovely? A paper knife with a grouse on the top.- Lovely.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04It is a paper knife, isn't it?

0:30:04 > 0:30:08It's not a meat skewer for game?

0:30:08 > 0:30:10- It could be! - I think that's what it is.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13- I think it would have a sharper edge.- It probably would.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17I think that is a game skewer.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21Yes, Charlie, you're right, and a quality one at that.

0:30:21 > 0:30:25- £38 - it's brilliant, isn't it? - It's fantastic.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28Now, this contains all the money

0:30:28 > 0:30:33- that I'm going to give you to help you along the way. - Which is nothing, of course!

0:30:33 > 0:30:36It doesn't really. It contains this, a nice little weather station.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39- That's lovely.- Art Deco. I thought that was quite nice.

0:30:39 > 0:30:43- Has it got a maker's name on it? - Short & Mason.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46- Never heard of them.- I have to say, I hadn't actually, either.

0:30:46 > 0:30:49But apparently, they're terribly well-known in the 1930s.

0:30:49 > 0:30:53Now, what will Charlie make of Catherine's wool winder?

0:30:53 > 0:30:57- It's a bit of an iffy one. You know what it is, don't you? - It's not something I would buy.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59It's what I call a wool winder.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Yes, a wool winder or a swift. - A swift, yes.- It's...

0:31:02 > 0:31:05I mean, I paid £35 for it

0:31:05 > 0:31:08and I bought it because I thought it was really nicely made.

0:31:08 > 0:31:13These things break so easily, and it was a really nice one, in good condition.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16- Yes.- But £35... I mean, who wants it?- Not me.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19- No!- I should think the shopkeeper

0:31:19 > 0:31:23- was only too thrilled to see you come along!- I think so.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25I don't think he liked it. Next!

0:31:25 > 0:31:28Do you know what it is? I must admit, I wasn't that sure.

0:31:28 > 0:31:30It depends what happens here.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33Ahh. I do.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Erm...

0:31:35 > 0:31:37- HE GROANS - It's not perfume

0:31:37 > 0:31:40and it's not snuff and it's... Tell me.

0:31:40 > 0:31:44- Pepper.- Oh, is it? - Cayenne pepper.- I didn't know that!

0:31:44 > 0:31:49- Cayenne pepper.- With a devil on top! For the heat! That's great!

0:31:49 > 0:31:53- I think that's the best lot you've got.- It's nice, isn't it?

0:31:53 > 0:31:56- Well done. - I wish you lots of luck, Charlie.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Horrible weather for buying, isn't it?- I know.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02- But it's been fun, hasn't it? - It has! Good luck!- And you!

0:32:02 > 0:32:04Very sportsmanlike.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06Better get the real lowdown now, though.

0:32:06 > 0:32:12I just feel sorry for him about that glass bottle with the silver top. Such an easy mistake to make.

0:32:12 > 0:32:16I probably would've had a good look at it. I would've checked in case it was chipped.

0:32:16 > 0:32:20I'm not mad keen on her wool winder. Frankly, who wants a wool winder?

0:32:20 > 0:32:24I think it's going to be an interesting competition,

0:32:24 > 0:32:28but I may slightly have the edge. Who knows?

0:32:29 > 0:32:32Catherine and Charlie's second leg started in Marlborough, Wiltshire,

0:32:32 > 0:32:35then took them through four counties

0:32:35 > 0:32:38and will conclude at an auction house in Wareham, Dorset.

0:32:38 > 0:32:42Here we are. Oh-ho!

0:32:42 > 0:32:46- Wonderful.- Wareham is where it's at!

0:32:46 > 0:32:49Right, in we go.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53Er, in you go. I've got a phone call to make.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Hm... I'll see you in a minute. - I'll see you later.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58What's that rascal Charlie up to?

0:32:58 > 0:33:02This lovely auction house began its life auctioneering off livestock.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05Nowadays, you can find all manner of antiques and collectables

0:33:05 > 0:33:08poised to go under the hammer.

0:33:08 > 0:33:12So, what does auctioneer John Condie think of our experts' items?

0:33:12 > 0:33:14Some of them are quite quirky and unusual.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16I was fascinated by the bottle of beer.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20We usually sell them by the crateful, rather than on their own.

0:33:20 > 0:33:25And I'm not quite sure about the WMF skewer.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28I'd like to have seen that with a few other items.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31But otherwise, I think they'll do OK.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37Catherine began with £216.56

0:33:37 > 0:33:41and spent exactly £202 on five auction lots.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43There's my hand. All you need now is the cash.

0:33:43 > 0:33:47Charlie started this leg with £103.04

0:33:47 > 0:33:53and spent a grand total of £103.09 on five auction lots.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57I have absolutely nothing in the world.

0:33:58 > 0:34:02And I think our Charlie has finally twigged his mistake.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05Time to call an old friend.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08Is that the delicious Rita? I've got a confession to make.

0:34:08 > 0:34:13I spent too much money, Rita! Do you know why I'm phoning you?

0:34:14 > 0:34:17I want a reduction!

0:34:17 > 0:34:20I've spent 5p too much!

0:34:20 > 0:34:24Would you be prepared to do that? You really are the best.

0:34:24 > 0:34:29Now I'll be able to go forth into the auction and beat that Miss Southon.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32Oh, for goodness sake, Charlie, you'll give us all a bad name!

0:34:32 > 0:34:35I've got good vibes today.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37- So have I.- Good! - I'm really confident!

0:34:37 > 0:34:40That's what we like, a positive attitude.

0:34:40 > 0:34:42Off we go.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46First up is Catherine's Art Deco travelling weather station.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49£30 for it. £30 bid, straight in.

0:34:49 > 0:34:53- £30. 35. 40. - You're holding my arm very tight!

0:34:53 > 0:34:5645. 50. 55.

0:34:56 > 0:34:5960. £60 in the middle.

0:34:59 > 0:35:03- Bit more!- £60. 65 anywhere?

0:35:03 > 0:35:06- OK.- Well done! - That's all right.- Profit!

0:35:06 > 0:35:08The sun was shining on that barometer.

0:35:08 > 0:35:10A decent profit for Catherine.

0:35:10 > 0:35:13- Don't be disappointed. - No, I'm happy with that.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16It's Charlie's perfume bottle next,

0:35:16 > 0:35:18remember - the one with the dodgy lid?

0:35:18 > 0:35:2020?

0:35:20 > 0:35:2115, then?

0:35:21 > 0:35:26- CHARLIE GROANS - £15. 18 now.

0:35:26 > 0:35:2820. 22.

0:35:28 > 0:35:3022, gentleman in the middle.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33- 25.- That's better!- 25 now.

0:35:33 > 0:35:3525, close to me? 25?

0:35:35 > 0:35:39- £25, then. - GAVEL BANGS

0:35:39 > 0:35:43- Not bad.- I have to say, for a mistake, it's quite good.

0:35:43 > 0:35:48Too right, Charlie, it could've been worse. But technically, it's a loss.

0:35:48 > 0:35:52I've got £25 to go shopping with. Oh, no, less commission!

0:35:53 > 0:35:55Catherine's wool winder is next.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58Charlie wouldn't buy it, but maybe somebody else will.

0:35:58 > 0:36:03- £40.- He's asking big. - 40?- He's not getting it, though.

0:36:03 > 0:36:0620 - I heard a voice there. £20 bid.

0:36:06 > 0:36:10- It's going to be sold for 20. - He's opened it up.- 22. 25. 28. 30.

0:36:10 > 0:36:15- Here we go. - £30 bid. 32, sir. 32. 35.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17- Come on!- 38.

0:36:17 > 0:36:21- 40 bid. 40.- It's nearly a profit!

0:36:21 > 0:36:26- 42. 45.- Yes!- 48. - I'm glad I bought that now!

0:36:26 > 0:36:30Gentleman in the middle at 48. £50, anybody else?

0:36:30 > 0:36:35- Ooh!- I'm going to sell at... Comes back in at 50. £50.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38The lady there at 50.

0:36:38 > 0:36:40- Very good.- I'm glad I bought that.

0:36:40 > 0:36:45It wasn't just the gorgeous man that I bought it from! There was a reason!

0:36:45 > 0:36:48Never believe the Doubting Thomases, or Charlies, Catherine.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50The wool winder did well.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53- It's all right, Miss Southon! - BOTH: Come on!

0:36:53 > 0:36:55Next up, Charlie's bottle of ale,

0:36:55 > 0:37:00bought with a whole 5p he didn't actually have.

0:37:00 > 0:37:04- Rare item.- Very rare, sir! - £10 for it.

0:37:04 > 0:37:09- Don't make me break the barrier. - No, do. Bring it down!

0:37:09 > 0:37:10£5, then.

0:37:10 > 0:37:15- Ohh! £5!- We've got a £5 bid.

0:37:15 > 0:37:20£5, I'm bid. Five. Six. Seven. Eight.

0:37:20 > 0:37:22- Ooh!- Nine.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24Ten. 11.

0:37:24 > 0:37:28- 12. £12 bid.- 12 pounds!

0:37:28 > 0:37:31Expensive beer. £12 on the bottle of beer.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34- I'm going to sell it.- £12! Charlie!

0:37:34 > 0:37:38Yay! Well done! LAUGHTER

0:37:38 > 0:37:40Thank you, sir!

0:37:40 > 0:37:44Cheers. That bottle of ale has made Charlie a decent profit

0:37:44 > 0:37:47and put him right back in the game.

0:37:47 > 0:37:51- You've got to drink it now. - I'm never buying anything for more than 5p again!

0:37:51 > 0:37:54It's Catherine's game skewer next. Will she get skewered?

0:37:54 > 0:37:57This is probably one of my best items, actually.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59I've got an opening bid of £10.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02Oh. That's not very exciting!

0:38:02 > 0:38:07- £12, anybody else? 12 here.- Oh, no! - Come on, Miss Southon.- 15, sir?

0:38:07 > 0:38:11- 15. 18.- It's WMF! Did he say that? - 20.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14£20. Gentleman in the middle.

0:38:14 > 0:38:17- I'm really disappointed with that. - 22, anybody else?

0:38:17 > 0:38:21- £20, I'm going to sell it. - That's just not on.

0:38:21 > 0:38:25- I have to say, Catherine - - I don't believe that at all.

0:38:25 > 0:38:28That's the one thing that I really don't understand.

0:38:28 > 0:38:33Yes, that's a blow, and the first loss of the day.

0:38:33 > 0:38:37- Chin up, darling. - No, no. I just find that a bit odd.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39Disappointing, isn't it?

0:38:40 > 0:38:42Charlie's silver thimbles are up next.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44£40 for the two.

0:38:44 > 0:38:49- 30, then. Thank you. £30 bid. - Ooh! Well done.

0:38:49 > 0:38:5230. £30. 35, anyone else?

0:38:52 > 0:38:56- Starting at 30. - Maiden bid at 30. Anyone else?

0:38:56 > 0:38:58What about 32?

0:38:58 > 0:39:02I'm going to sell them, then, if no-one else comes in.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04Ohh!

0:39:04 > 0:39:07The thimbles have sold for more than Charlie paid.

0:39:07 > 0:39:12- But...- It's a loss, isn't it?- It is. - Once you take the commission...

0:39:12 > 0:39:16It's Catherine's Art Deco-style brooch up next.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19We've got a couple of bids already. I'll start at 15,

0:39:19 > 0:39:2220, 25, 30.

0:39:22 > 0:39:26- Come on! Keep going!- £35 in the room.

0:39:26 > 0:39:30- 40. 45.- Come on. It's a good thing, this is.- £45 bid.

0:39:30 > 0:39:36- 45. 50 anywhere?- Come on, I need 50! - Near me at 45.

0:39:36 > 0:39:38- Ooh!- 50.- New bid!

0:39:38 > 0:39:42- £55.- Go on!

0:39:42 > 0:39:4555 and selling...

0:39:45 > 0:39:50- It's a profit!- That's a smidge of a profit, isn't it?

0:39:50 > 0:39:53Well, it's £15, which is not to be sniffed at.

0:39:53 > 0:39:57I feel like I'm scraping every single penny.

0:39:57 > 0:40:00It's hard work to get your money back in this game.

0:40:00 > 0:40:02Yep, it's not easy.

0:40:02 > 0:40:07So here comes Charlie's big gamble, with the 5p reduction.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09£50 for the Orrefors.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Oh, dear.- 40, then.

0:40:12 > 0:40:17- Charlie! - £40 bid. Thank you very much.

0:40:17 > 0:40:21- 40. 45. 50.- Ooh, Charlie!

0:40:21 > 0:40:23- Hold on, hold on.- 55. 60.- Ooh.

0:40:23 > 0:40:27- It's getting there.- £60 on my left. - It's worth more than that.

0:40:27 > 0:40:2965, anybody else?

0:40:29 > 0:40:32- £60. 65.- Gentleman in the hat!

0:40:32 > 0:40:36- Come on, madam!- 65. 70.- Ooh!

0:40:36 > 0:40:39£70? £70 on my left.

0:40:39 > 0:40:4170, then.

0:40:41 > 0:40:45Five now. 75. 75.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48- Madam, you know it makes sense! - 80, anybody else?

0:40:48 > 0:40:5175. 80 bid there. £80.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54- She doesn't know if she wants it now. - She does.

0:40:54 > 0:40:57- £80. - Madam, I'm eternally gratefully!

0:40:57 > 0:41:01- Roscoe still lives! - And the gamble paid off.

0:41:01 > 0:41:05- That was a bit of excitement. - There is a Lord, isn't there?

0:41:05 > 0:41:10And now, onto Catherine's devilish cayenne pepper pot.

0:41:10 > 0:41:12£50 for it?

0:41:12 > 0:41:15- Come on.- 50.- Oh, come on.- £40, then.

0:41:15 > 0:41:20- Come on!- £30? - Please! Desperation here!

0:41:20 > 0:41:2420. £20. 25?

0:41:24 > 0:41:26- Yes.- 30.

0:41:26 > 0:41:29- Oh.- 30 here.- Don't get me excited.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Come on.- 35 now. 35.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35- Ooh, Miss Southon.- £35 bid. 35.

0:41:35 > 0:41:38- 35. I'm going to sell it. - Dear, oh, dear!

0:41:38 > 0:41:42I thought you lot in Wareham were going to go for these things!

0:41:42 > 0:41:45Another blow for Catherine, sadly.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48I can't believe that, actually.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50It's the last lot of the day -

0:41:50 > 0:41:52Charlie's Silverstone programme.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55£10 bid. Thank you very much. £10.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57Where are all these people for my lots?

0:41:57 > 0:42:01- £12, anybody else?- £12?! - £12 here. 15, sir?

0:42:01 > 0:42:07- 15. 18, sir?- Well...- 18 bid now. 18. - Unbelievable!

0:42:07 > 0:42:11- 20, anybody else? - Charlie, you are amazing.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13- Charlie...- I didn't imagine that!

0:42:13 > 0:42:16Hats off to you today because you have done brilliantly.

0:42:16 > 0:42:19With nearly £15 profit on that programme,

0:42:19 > 0:42:21I'm inclined to agree.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24Considering you had a pile of old rubbish,

0:42:24 > 0:42:28you have turned it into gold!

0:42:28 > 0:42:30And what an auction it's been.

0:42:30 > 0:42:34Catherine started this leg with £216.56

0:42:34 > 0:42:39and has made a loss of £21.60, after auction costs. Bad luck.

0:42:39 > 0:42:44That leaves her with a grand total of £194.96 to carry forward.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46Don't look so stern.

0:42:47 > 0:42:52Charlie, on the other hand, has bought wisely, making him today's winner.

0:42:52 > 0:42:55He kicked off the day with £103.04,

0:42:55 > 0:42:59but managed to make a profit of £32.26, after costs,

0:42:59 > 0:43:05bumping his total up to £135.30 to spend next time.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07Great!

0:43:07 > 0:43:11- Don't you love Wareham? - I do. And the sun is shining!

0:43:11 > 0:43:14Charlie is happy and he is back in the game.

0:43:14 > 0:43:17All is right with my world, Miss Southon.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19Yee-ha!

0:43:20 > 0:43:23BOTH: Bye, Wareham!

0:43:23 > 0:43:25Next time on the Antiques Road Trip,

0:43:25 > 0:43:28Catherine cranks up the charm offensive....

0:43:28 > 0:43:31- She's a hard lady.- Oh, I'm not!

0:43:31 > 0:43:33I like the fact that you're stroking my hand.

0:43:33 > 0:43:36..and Charlie runs into trouble.

0:43:36 > 0:43:39I'm at a hell of a disadvantage being male here!
