It's the nation's favourite antiques experts, with £200 each, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
a classic car and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:09 | |
That hurts. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:10 | |
I'm going to go for it. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:13 | |
The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
But it's no mean feat. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
Goodness gracious me. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
Will it be the high road to glory or slow road to disaster? | 0:00:22 | 0:00:27 | |
It's not nice to gloat. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
This is the Antiques Road Trip! | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Yeah! | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
The sun is out in Wiltshire, and our lovable antiques experts - | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
Charlie Ross and Catherine Southon - are jostling along famously. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:46 | |
Oh, look at these animals! The little baby sheep! | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
-Oh, sheep! -Oh, look at the lamb! | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
-I could do with a rack of lamb for supper. -That's awful! | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
Young Catherine has taken up the gavel, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
starting her own auctioneering business. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
And she's no slouch when it comes to driving a bargain, either. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
-40. -Oh, come on! | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
Old dog Charlie travels the world auctioneering fine vintage cars, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
and he's not too short on the old vroom-vroom-vroom himself! | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
Mwah! This is the most golden day of my life! | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
Our esteemed experts started the week with £200 each, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
but one auction later it's all change. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Charlie had one devastating loss, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
so he starts this leg with a rather ephemeral £103.04. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:35 | |
Catherine's profits soared. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
However, she now has a tangible £216.56 to play with. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
-You made a profit. -# I'm in the money! # | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
Our gorgeous couple are cosying up | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
in a classic 1966 Austin-Healey Sprite. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
It has no roof...at all, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
but on a day like today, who cares? | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
(BOTH) # I can see clearly now | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
# The rain has gone | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
# I can see all obstacles In my way # | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
And there's a few of those! | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
-# It's going to be a bright -# Bright | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
# Bright sun-shiny day # | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
This week's road trip takes us on a leisurely route eastwards, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
starting at the Wiltshire countryside, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
skirting along the south coast | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
and ending up in Rye, East Sussex. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
We're kicking off in Marlborough, criss-crossing through Wiltshire and Berkshire, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
popping over to Hampshire | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
and ending up at an auction in Wareham, Dorset. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
Our experts are starting today's shopping in Marlborough, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
which was granted market-town status in 1204 by King John, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
he of Robin Hood fame. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
Antiques, Charlie! | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
-Come on! Charlie! Come on! -There's not much point me coming in. I haven't got any money. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
-I'll lend you some money. Come on. -Ooh, Miss Southon! | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
How very charitable of you, Catherine. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
Although I'm sure Robin Hood wore green tights, didn't he?! | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
This large antique centre is a treasure trove of a place, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
with the wares of over 30 dealers. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
Surely there'll be something here for our competitive duo. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
Although Charlie's feeling the pressure... | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
Alas, it's tough at the bottom! | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
Come along, now, I'm sure you'll find something to get your teeth into. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:27 | |
Eurgh! | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
Gosh, what an extraordinary thing. It's a hammerhead shark! | 0:03:29 | 0:03:34 | |
Or is it Miss Southon?! It looks rather like her! | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
THEME FROM JAWS | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into an antique shop... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
MUSIC BUILDS | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
Ooh. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:54 | |
-You know what this is, don't you? -I don't. -It's a wool winder. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
You pull that out... | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
-1800s this was made. Isn't that...? -That's lovely. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Look how beautiful that's been made. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
So a wool winder, for winding your wool in and out. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
It's known as a swift. I think there's probably a little bit missing off the top. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
How much would you do on that? It's got 43 on it. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
-The best we would do on that would be 38. -Right. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
-I can't push it to 35? -36. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
36. Right. Yes, I might have a go on that one. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
That's not a bad price. But Catherine's pulling out all the stops now. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
£30 for the swift and we're done. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
-You said 35. £30 for the swift. -I can't. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
-I can't do that. -Can you not? -No, I can't. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
-It's no good doing that! -Look into my eyes! | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
-I've been done with that before. -You've got lovely eyes! -Thank you. I hope that's not being recorded! | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
Catherine, you are completely shameless! | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
-I'm rubbish at making decisions! -Go on, buy it. It's worth a go. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:02 | |
-It's unusual. -Oh, go on, then. -Yes? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
-32? 33. -35! | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-33. -36. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
-Come on, give me 33. -35. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
-(33.) -35. -(33.) -35. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
Thank you! | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
All that eye-fluttering got you absolutely nowhere. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
Well resisted, Gary! | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
There was no negotiation there whatsoever! | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
-There was. -No, there wasn't! -I'll give you a pound. -Oh, pfft! | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
Uh-oh, someone's earwigging in the next aisle. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
-Gary! -Yes? -Is she trying the female charms with you? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
-She's trying. -You promised me they wouldn't work. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
-She's fluttering her eyelids. -No, I'm not! | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
-I'm just merely making friends! -Miss Southon, how dare you? | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
I haven't tried that with Bob yet. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
There's a nice little brooch there. I don't normally buy jewellery. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
It's a lady and a gentleman, arm in arm. A bit like Charlie and I, actually. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
The gentleman's tall and slender. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
Not quite like Charlie, but... you get the idea. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
Oh, you meanie! | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
This Art Deco-style brooch is £48, but the dealer's not in | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
so there won't be much room for manoeuvre. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
He probably would do 40 on that. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
40. He'd come down to 40. I quite like that. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
This is a lovely piece. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
-Do you think he'd come down to 38? -He won't. -He won't? -He will do 40. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
So 40... 48 to 40. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
I might take a bit of a punt on that one. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
So Catherine's made up her mind. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
That's the wool winder and the silver-plated brooch for £75. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
Charlie still hasn't parted with any of his money, though. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
Maybe because he hasn't got very much. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
Dig deep, Charlie. Dig deep. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
Oh, beer bottles. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
"Royal Wedding Ale. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
"Specially brewed in celebration of the marriage of HRH Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:08 | |
"29th July 1981." | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
I think that's really rather good. How much is that? | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
Two pounds. So in my budget! | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
I could buy so many of those! | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
I think that's fab. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
I would've thought that must be what I would call a collector's item. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-Bob, this is your happy moment. -It is, sir. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
I think that's all I can really afford in my budget. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
-It's £2, isn't it? No discount? -No discount, I'm afraid. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
Seeing as you're such a nice chap, you can have a free gift, sir. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
-What, Royal Wedding ale? -Absolutely. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
-I've got to pay you something. Could I find a coin? -You can find a coin, yes. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:48 | |
I hope I can find a small coin! | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
Oh, no! I think that's five... | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
-..I think it's 5p! -That'll do fine, sir. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
-Would you take five? -Very well. -You're a gentleman! | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
BOTH: Thank you very much. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
Royal Wedding ale, 5p! | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
-Bob, if it doesn't sell, I'll drink it and think of you. Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
Last of the big spenders, eh? | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
With their shopping completed in Marlborough, it's time for Charlie and Catherine to hit the road, | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
if only they could remember where they were going. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
Hold on. Where did we just go? We were in...Marlborough. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
-We were in Marlborough. -We were. And we're going to Hungerford. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
-We're going to Hungerford. -All right? OK with that? | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
-Yes. Good job I'm driving! -No, I disagree. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Just to clarify, our experts are leaving Marlborough in the dust | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
and heading ten miles east to Hungerford in Berkshire. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
Hungerford! Twinned with "Ligueil"! | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
Hungerford Arcade Antique Centre is one of the oldest antique centres in the country | 0:08:46 | 0:08:51 | |
and houses the goodies of over 100 dealers. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
Now, it's just a case of finding a super helpful one, like our Rita here. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
Have you got something that you managed to buy for very little that you could let me have? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:05 | |
-I've got a beautiful -Orifice -crystal bowl. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
Orrefors, I think! Not orifice, darling! | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
That would never do! I can't have an orifice bowl! | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
That wouldn't be allowed! | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
Orrefors I think is what you mean! Where is it? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
Ooh, how lovely! | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
Ooh, lovely cutting on that! Goodness gracious me! | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
-It's called "Thousand Windows". -Is that the pattern? | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
-Because of the cut. -How interesting. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
"Thousand Windows" bowls and vases were designed by artist Simon Gate | 0:09:34 | 0:09:40 | |
for the Swedish glass manufacturers Orrefor in the early 20th century. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
They were so named because of the clever design, | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
which made it appear as if there were multiple lenses in the glass. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
The ticket price on this one is £150, | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
way over your meagre budget, Charlie. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
-Look, listen to this... -PING ECHOES | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
-It's that glorious sound! -Isn't that fabulous? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
-PING! -# Mmmmm! I don't like the price! | 0:10:03 | 0:10:08 | |
# I'd like it to be So much cheaperrrrr! # | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
What sort of money is that to me? | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
-You know, on a wet day... -A wet day. -..with me putting my arm around you? -And you've only got £100. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:21 | |
Well, I've got to buy about five things with £100, darling. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
If you bought this for 75, | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
I can find four things for you elsewhere for the 25. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
That's quite good. Let's put that on one side. I'm in such a... | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
Oh, I'm in such a quandary, darling! | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
While Charlie thinks about that one, | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
Catherine has found a rather attractive German game skewer. As you do... | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
This is silver-plated. It's stamped with the letter "O" | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
and telling us that it's silver-plated. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-It's a letter opener. -Are you sure about that, Catherine? | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
But it's got a lovely little bird on the top, a game bird. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:59 | |
-I'm guessing it's a... -A grouse. -Yes. -I think so. -I like it. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
-It's fun, anyway. You can just imagine opening your letters. -Absolutely. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
It's priced at 59, Adrian. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
If you could get that for me at a reasonable price... | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
25 would be delicious, but... | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
-Well, she's a delicious lady, but I'm not sure. We can try. -OK! | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
Antique Centre manager Adrian just needs to track down the dealer Sharon. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:25 | |
If I can get that for about £30, I think that's going to make me a little profit. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:31 | |
That's absolutely brilliant. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
I'm very, very happy with that. And I haven't even bought it yet! | 0:11:33 | 0:11:38 | |
You've got 59 on it. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
What would be your bottom price? | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
Oh, gosh. Erm... I was hoping for a little bit less than that. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
Can we say 30? | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
Shall we meet in the middle, then, on that and say 35? | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
38. OK, Sharon, I think you've got yourself a deal on that one. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
-I think it's stylish and fun! -I reckon so, too. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
-There's your phone... -Oh, yes! | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
-..here's my letter opener, there's my hand. -My hand. -All you need now is the cash. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
Catherine's up and running. Now, what about cash-strapped Charlie? | 0:12:10 | 0:12:15 | |
I'm in a real muddle here, financially. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
Can you do your bowl for £50, or does that really...? | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
-Why not? -Why not?! | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
-Because it's not a lot of money, really! -I know! | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
That's the real reason! | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
£100 off? I'd snap that up, Charlie! | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
Oh, go on. I'll have the bowl, darling! | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
I'll have a bit of silver, as well. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
The little bottle, which I love the shape... | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
-Yes. -It's shaped rather like you, if I may say so, Rita! -Oh, I wish! | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
-I wish! -It's got those rather nice curvaceous lines! | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
Dirty beast! It's £55, but Charlie would like it cheaper. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
Could I have that little thing for £20? That would be £70 for two. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
You couldn't do 75? | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
For you, darling, I'd do absolutely anything. I'd stand on my head if you like. 75. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
-Is that all right? -Can you do that? -Yes. -God, I do love you. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
Melt into my arms and tell me I'm the only one for you. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
You're gorgeous! You are gorgeous! | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
You charmer! | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
-40... -So £75 later, | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
Charlie's now the proud owner of an Orrefor bowl and a perfume jar, | 0:13:22 | 0:13:27 | |
so he's off to his next shop. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
Can Catherine work some of her magic on the charming Rita? | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
That's what I like. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
-So, what it is is a travelling barometer thermometer... -It is. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
..in a little gentleman's case. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
-Is it working, Rita? -Complete working order, yes. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
-It's lovely, that is. -Yes. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
I should think, once upon a time, when this was bought, it was quite a smart gift. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:54 | |
-British made! There we are! -Yes. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
-Short & Mason. So barometer, and on the side, thermometer. -Yes. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:02 | |
Let's see if the temperature's rising in here. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
Ooh, yes! The temperature's rising! | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
-What have you got on that? -95. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
-95... You call it a weather station. -Yes. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
95. What could you do on that, Rita? | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
Erm, what about 50? | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
Any chance of a little bit more? | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
-45? -45... | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
-I can't go lower than that! -You can't go lower than 45. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
I think that's pretty fair. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
-I tell you what, if you let me have that for 40, I'll have it. -40! | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
-Is that cheeky? -I don't know if I can do it for 40! | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
-You can't do 45? -I suppose I could, but I'd love to do 40. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:45 | |
-I would do it for 40 for you. -Ah, will you? | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
Oh, go on, then. Definitely 40. I'm definitely having that at 40. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
Ooh, she drives a hard bargain, that one. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
Charlie has arrived at Dairy House Antiques in Semley with less than £30 in his pocket. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:03 | |
Dear old thing! | 0:15:03 | 0:15:04 | |
But can owner Sue find something that fits Charlie's budget? | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
-I would like a bit of silver. -A silver thimble? -Yes! | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
-Or perhaps two? -Or three? -No, probably two! | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
One for each of my fingers! That would be rather good! | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
-Who are they by? -A couple of Charles Horner. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
-Charles Horner, the hatpin man. -Yes. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
-He's a good maker, isn't he? -Not bad. -Not bad at all. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
Oh, aren't they pretty? | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
-What prices have we got on these? -Erm... | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
20 quid on that one and 20 quid... That's 40 quid. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
Are these buyable for half price? | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
-20 quid? -No. Can't do half price. No! -No! -I can't do half price. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:47 | |
It looks like one Charles Horner and one cheaper thimble is the way forward. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:52 | |
This is what it's come down to, Miss Southon - | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
Roscoe looking at thimbles. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
-You can do better on that one. -I could do that and one of... | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
-What, for 20 quid? -For 25. Come along! | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
Well, why don't I do those two? | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
Is that the right two? | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
Ssh! I've switched 'em! | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
-Yes, why don't you? -I'm a member of The Magic Circle, you know? | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
When you look in your cupboard, you'll find them all gone! | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
Top work, Charlie. And with £25 agreed for the thimbles, | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
that's your shopping all stitched up for today. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
Catherine has put her purse away and is travelling 35 miles east from Hungerford | 0:16:27 | 0:16:32 | |
to the country estate of Stratfield Saye. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
She's come to meet Lord Douro, son of the eighth Duke of Wellington, | 0:16:36 | 0:16:41 | |
at his country home, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
for it's here the funeral carriage | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
for the first and most famous Duke of Wellington is kept. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
Wow. This is quite spectacular. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
Isn't this something? | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
This was made specially, of course, | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
for to carry the coffin from Horse Guards | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
all the way to St Paul's. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
The first Duke of Wellington was born in 1769 | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
and went on to become one of Britain's most famous military heroes. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
He led the Allied armies against Napoleon, | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
ultimately defeating him at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1814. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:24 | |
Up there, of course, are the names of some of the more important battles. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
-Here is "Waterloo" written... -Oh, yes. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
And then there are the lion's heads all the way along. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
-This, I believe, you said is the bronze cannon. -And it's taken from, | 0:17:34 | 0:17:39 | |
melted down, some of the cannons captured at Waterloo, | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
and they used the bronze to make into this enormous structure. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
-I think that's fabulous. -I know. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
I think that is absolutely fabulous that the cannons were melted down to make this carriage. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
You get the real sense of size here. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
-Was the coffin...? -On the very top. -It was on the very top. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
In fact, if the coffin was still there, | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
it wouldn't have fitted in here! | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
After his death, Parliament decided the Duke should have a full state funeral | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
to honour his achievements. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
But that gave the craftsmen very little time to create this grand carriage. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
The craftsmen who were asked to do the construction, | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
they knew they had no more than three weeks to get it done, | 0:18:21 | 0:18:27 | |
and I'm sure they all had to work day and night without stopping. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
Queen Victoria was determined that there should be | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
full public recognition at the funeral, | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
and so this carriage was meant to symbolise | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
the importance which the government and the people | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
attached to this funeral. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
It was reported that over a million people crammed into the streets of London | 0:18:48 | 0:18:52 | |
to watch the funeral procession go by. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
Wellington will forever be associated with his horse, Copenhagen, | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
who he famously rode for 12 hours nonstop | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
during the Battle of Waterloo. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
His trusty steed died long before the Duke, | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
but the memory lived on at the funeral, symbolised by a riderless horse. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:15 | |
Famously, the riderless horse was in the procession, | 0:19:15 | 0:19:20 | |
led by the groom, John Mears. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
And that, I believe, | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
everybody found that a very moving moment when that passed. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
This funeral is the largest Britain has ever seen, | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
and the Duke's popularity continued to grow long afterwards. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:39 | |
With the passage of time, he became even more revered | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
and more acknowledged than right at the beginning. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
So it was an extraordinary life. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
He remained Commander in Chief right up to the day of his death. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
That's quite an achievement, isn't it? That really is. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
It's been such a pleasure for me. Thank you for your time. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
-I do appreciate it. -Delighted you could come and see it. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
Well, what a treat for Catherine. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
The time has come for our experts to rest their weary heads. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
Night-night. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
Day two and the heavens have opened. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
In the absence of our roof, our experts have had to put on their thinking caps. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:22 | |
My eyebrows are drenched | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
and my eyelashes are so wet I can't see! | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
They must make hoods for these cars, mustn't they? | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
So far, Catherine has spent £153 on four items - | 0:20:33 | 0:20:38 | |
a silver-plated game skewer, a travelling weather station, | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
an Art Deco-style brooch and a wool winder, | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
leaving her with £63.56 still to play with. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
Thank you. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:50 | |
Charlie, on the other hand, has spent £100.5 on four items - | 0:20:52 | 0:20:57 | |
two silver thimbles, a bottle of ale, | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
an Orrefor bowl and a perfume jar with a silver lid. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
That leaves him with a gargantuan £2.99 to spend today. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:08 | |
-Tell me I'm the only one for you. -You're gorgeous! | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
Catherine and Charlie are heading southwest | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
towards the city of Salisbury in Wiltshire. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
At last. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:21 | |
I feel disgusting. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
You look gorgeous. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
Remember the challenge - buy something decent. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
Something really nice with three pounds and fourpence. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
Er, actually, Charlie, you've only got £2.99. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:36 | |
And a bath hat. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
It's cold and it's wet, | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
-I've got £3.04... -No, you don't! | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
..Miss Southon's winning, I'm losing, | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
-and I want to go home. -You've got £2.99, you old codger. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:55 | |
A-ha, it's seems that Charlie's made another mistake here. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
He appears to have forgotten he bought a bottle of old ale for 5p, | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
so his budget is actually even smaller than he thinks. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
I found something for £5 downstairs | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
and I'm really hoping that they'll take £3.04. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
£22. I don't think that's going to come down to £3.04. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:17 | |
Excuse me. I'm afraid it's £10. £3.04 wouldn't do it? | 0:22:17 | 0:22:22 | |
No, it wouldn't, you poor, deluded fellow! | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
Being an auctioneer of vintage cars, these should be up Charlie's street, and they look cheap. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:32 | |
These are old motor racing programmes | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
from meetings in the '50s and '60s. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
Amazing, those wonderful old Maseratis | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
and BRMs they used to race then. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
The programmes are quite collectable | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
and they're very well priced here - £5. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
There's one of Silverstone, which is my local race track, | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
and that's from an international meeting of 1961. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
The trouble is, it's priced at £5, | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
-and I only have £3.04. -Oh, my gawd, I give up! | 0:22:59 | 0:23:04 | |
Peter! I wonder if I may borrow you for a moment. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
There's a programme down here for £5. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
-Do you want to have a look? -May I? | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
Now, I have, in the world, | 0:23:12 | 0:23:16 | |
£3.04! | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
Would it be too rude to offer you £3.04? | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
-I'm sure that will be fine. -Are you sure? -Yes. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
£3.04 - Silverstone catalogue. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:32 | |
Worth? | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
£3.04. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
And now, Charlie, you are officially in the red. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:41 | |
With his shopping definitely over, | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
Charlie only has a short trip across Salisbury | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
to visit the former home of a prime minister. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
Arundells is the house Sir Edward Heath lived in for the last 20 years of his life, | 0:23:49 | 0:23:55 | |
and curator and long-time employee Stuart Craven is going to show Charlie around. | 0:23:55 | 0:24:00 | |
-Ah! -Hello. Charlie Ross. -Stuart Craven. Pleased to meet you. -Lovely to meet you. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:06 | |
Leader of the Conservative Party, | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
Ted Heath became prime minister in 1970 | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
for less than four years, | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
but one of the most difficult periods of recent British history. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
The most extraordinary collection of photographs I think I've ever seen. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:22 | |
Yes, it is. It's a little document of history, in fact, | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
on all his peers of the time, | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
whether they be religious leaders or royalty. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
Gandhi, Chairman Mao, Khrushchev, Castro... | 0:24:31 | 0:24:35 | |
-Never-ending! -It's an element of history, isn't it? | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |
And Margaret Thatcher. Did they get on? | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
Notoriously not, according to the Press. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
But, in fact, she spoke very warmly at a funeral here in 2005. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:48 | |
-Ahh. -He never used to speak about it much, | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
so I guess it was all history. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
Ted Heath collected works of art | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
and the house is a showcase for many famous artists, such as Lowry. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:02 | |
But he also has a painting by a more unexpected artist. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
WSC - initials I recognise. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
-Absolutely. Winston Spencer Churchill. -Yes. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
-I love that. I love the colours. -This is interesting, | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
because Sir Edward was concerned that Winston never signed his paintings. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:18 | |
Sir Edward was concerned that the value of this might depreciate, | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
so he said, "Sir, could you sign the painting?" | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
He took it back to Winston Churchill, | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
and there you see the signature on the bottom right. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
-He was very delighted with that. -Yes. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
Got it home and discovered the original signature on the bottom left. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:36 | |
-Double signed! -He was very pleased with that. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
Proud of the fact that it was the only double-signature Churchill. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:44 | |
ORCHESTRAL MUSIC | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
But there was far more to Ted Heath | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
than a life on the international stage. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
He conducted between 50 or 60 of the world's leading orchestras - an amazing feat - | 0:25:52 | 0:25:57 | |
including all the orchestras in Europe and the Americas. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
You've got to be an amazingly accomplished musician to conduct. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:05 | |
Playing an instrument is one thing, | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
but being in control of four or five different facets at the same time... | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
Absolutely. I think he was quite accomplished. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
He said that if politics hadn't shaped his life, he might've gone into the music industry, | 0:26:14 | 0:26:19 | |
and I think he probably would've been very good. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
As well as an accomplished musician, Heath also wrote several books | 0:26:22 | 0:26:27 | |
and was a world-class sailor. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
He came from a humble background. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
-His mother was a lady's maid and his father a carpenter. -Yes. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:35 | |
So to achieve that level of greatness, | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
-I think, is a wonderful achievement. -I mean, huge drive. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
To take up sailing at 50 | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
and then within a few years, win things like the Admiral's Cup - | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
-quite remarkable! -I wish I could achieve one thing as great as that, let alone three. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
It's been the most wonderful trip. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
I'd like to have been here for a week really. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
Well, sadly, you can't do that, Charlie. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
But you can go and put your feet up for a while. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
Back in the city centre, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
Catherine's following in Charlie's footsteps | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
by heading into the Salisbury Antique and Collectors Market. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:10 | |
Unlike Charlie, however, she has over £60 to spend, | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
and owner Peter's going to help her spend it. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
What about that cayenne pepper with the devil? | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
-Is that silver on the top? -Yes. That's Birmingham 1913. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:26 | |
Now, that is lovely. I like that. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
You've got a little devil on the top of a spoon. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:34 | |
You'd use your spoon, that would go in your jar, | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
and pull out your little bit of pepper. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
I think that's fabulous. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
It's actually marked up at £78. That's a bit punchy. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
I'd really need to get that down to 50 in order for me to buy it. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:51 | |
But will the dealer be willing to let it go for that? | 0:27:51 | 0:27:55 | |
That's very nice. It's nice when people say they'd like me to beat Charlie! | 0:27:55 | 0:28:00 | |
Thank you very much for your time. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
Bye-bye. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
Lovely man. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
£50 - what a good deal. But not good enough for Catherine. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:11 | |
Peter, I am very tempted by the devil. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:16 | |
Can I do £48? | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
Oh, come on, Peter! 48. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
-She's got a nerve. -49. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
49? You won't go to 48? | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
Go on, then, 49! One pound! | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
That's a very limp handshake there, Peter. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
-Do you not mean this? -Naughty! | 0:28:34 | 0:28:36 | |
Well, that's Catherine's shopping over. Thank goodness. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:40 | |
Now, it's time for our experts to reveal all to each other. Well, almost. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:45 | |
It's been nothing but a disaster, but I will show you my disasters. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:49 | |
# Ta-ta-ta-da! # | 0:28:49 | 0:28:51 | |
-Ohh! -Maybe not so bad. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
-I love this. -Catherine's spotted the little perfume bottle. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
But not everything about it is quite how it should be. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
-I bought it while it was in the cabinet. -Yes. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
Not a good idea. Always look at the items. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:07 | |
-It has got...the wrong top. -Oh, no! | 0:29:07 | 0:29:11 | |
It's pathetic, isn't it? | 0:29:11 | 0:29:13 | |
It looks beautiful. I love the shape and the cut. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
-I'm just hoping somebody in the back of the room will - -Be as stupid as you are. -Ouch! | 0:29:16 | 0:29:21 | |
That's a little unkind, but quite true. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:23 | |
Most of my money went into the Orrefors glass. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:26 | |
Since buying it I have done some research. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:29 | |
The good news is, I've found one on the market for 690. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:34 | |
-Right. -Which is encouraging. -Yes. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:37 | |
Less-than-encouraging news | 0:29:37 | 0:29:38 | |
is that I've also found one at £12.50! | 0:29:38 | 0:29:43 | |
So we have the gamble of all gambles there! | 0:29:43 | 0:29:47 | |
Now, enough of my rubbish. Let's get onto your goodies. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:50 | |
I'll show you my goodies. They're oddities. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
Ohh! | 0:29:53 | 0:29:55 | |
First up, it's Catherine's silver grouse. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:59 | |
-Isn't that lovely? A paper knife with a grouse on the top. -Lovely. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:02 | |
It is a paper knife, isn't it? | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
It's not a meat skewer for game? | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
-It could be! -I think that's what it is. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
-I think it would have a sharper edge. -It probably would. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
I think that is a game skewer. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:17 | |
Yes, Charlie, you're right, and a quality one at that. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:21 | |
-£38 - it's brilliant, isn't it? -It's fantastic. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:25 | |
Now, this contains all the money | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
-that I'm going to give you to help you along the way. -Which is nothing, of course! | 0:30:28 | 0:30:33 | |
It doesn't really. It contains this, a nice little weather station. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
-That's lovely. -Art Deco. I thought that was quite nice. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
-Has it got a maker's name on it? -Short & Mason. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:43 | |
-Never heard of them. -I have to say, I hadn't actually, either. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:46 | |
But apparently, they're terribly well-known in the 1930s. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:49 | |
Now, what will Charlie make of Catherine's wool winder? | 0:30:49 | 0:30:53 | |
-It's a bit of an iffy one. You know what it is, don't you? -It's not something I would buy. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:57 | |
It's what I call a wool winder. | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
-Yes, a wool winder or a swift. -A swift, yes. -It's... | 0:30:59 | 0:31:02 | |
I mean, I paid £35 for it | 0:31:02 | 0:31:05 | |
and I bought it because I thought it was really nicely made. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:08 | |
These things break so easily, and it was a really nice one, in good condition. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:13 | |
-Yes. -But £35... I mean, who wants it? -Not me. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
-No! -I should think the shopkeeper | 0:31:16 | 0:31:19 | |
-was only too thrilled to see you come along! -I think so. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:23 | |
I don't think he liked it. Next! | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
Do you know what it is? I must admit, I wasn't that sure. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
It depends what happens here. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:30 | |
Ahh. I do. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
Erm... | 0:31:33 | 0:31:35 | |
-HE GROANS -It's not perfume | 0:31:35 | 0:31:37 | |
and it's not snuff and it's... Tell me. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
-Pepper. -Oh, is it? -Cayenne pepper. -I didn't know that! | 0:31:40 | 0:31:44 | |
-Cayenne pepper. -With a devil on top! For the heat! That's great! | 0:31:44 | 0:31:49 | |
-I think that's the best lot you've got. -It's nice, isn't it? | 0:31:49 | 0:31:53 | |
-Well done. -I wish you lots of luck, Charlie. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:56 | |
-Horrible weather for buying, isn't it? -I know. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:59 | |
-But it's been fun, hasn't it? -It has! Good luck! -And you! | 0:31:59 | 0:32:02 | |
Very sportsmanlike. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
Better get the real lowdown now, though. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
I just feel sorry for him about that glass bottle with the silver top. Such an easy mistake to make. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:12 | |
I probably would've had a good look at it. I would've checked in case it was chipped. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:16 | |
I'm not mad keen on her wool winder. Frankly, who wants a wool winder? | 0:32:16 | 0:32:20 | |
I think it's going to be an interesting competition, | 0:32:20 | 0:32:24 | |
but I may slightly have the edge. Who knows? | 0:32:24 | 0:32:28 | |
Catherine and Charlie's second leg started in Marlborough, Wiltshire, | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
then took them through four counties | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
and will conclude at an auction house in Wareham, Dorset. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:38 | |
Here we are. Oh-ho! | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
-Wonderful. -Wareham is where it's at! | 0:32:42 | 0:32:46 | |
Right, in we go. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:49 | |
Er, in you go. I've got a phone call to make. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:53 | |
-Hm... I'll see you in a minute. -I'll see you later. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
What's that rascal Charlie up to? | 0:32:56 | 0:32:58 | |
This lovely auction house began its life auctioneering off livestock. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:02 | |
Nowadays, you can find all manner of antiques and collectables | 0:33:02 | 0:33:05 | |
poised to go under the hammer. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
So, what does auctioneer John Condie think of our experts' items? | 0:33:08 | 0:33:12 | |
Some of them are quite quirky and unusual. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:14 | |
I was fascinated by the bottle of beer. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:16 | |
We usually sell them by the crateful, rather than on their own. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:20 | |
And I'm not quite sure about the WMF skewer. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:25 | |
I'd like to have seen that with a few other items. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
But otherwise, I think they'll do OK. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
Catherine began with £216.56 | 0:33:33 | 0:33:37 | |
and spent exactly £202 on five auction lots. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:41 | |
There's my hand. All you need now is the cash. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:43 | |
Charlie started this leg with £103.04 | 0:33:43 | 0:33:47 | |
and spent a grand total of £103.09 on five auction lots. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:53 | |
I have absolutely nothing in the world. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:57 | |
And I think our Charlie has finally twigged his mistake. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:02 | |
Time to call an old friend. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:05 | |
Is that the delicious Rita? I've got a confession to make. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
I spent too much money, Rita! Do you know why I'm phoning you? | 0:34:08 | 0:34:13 | |
I want a reduction! | 0:34:14 | 0:34:17 | |
I've spent 5p too much! | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
Would you be prepared to do that? You really are the best. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:24 | |
Now I'll be able to go forth into the auction and beat that Miss Southon. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:29 | |
Oh, for goodness sake, Charlie, you'll give us all a bad name! | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
I've got good vibes today. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:35 | |
-So have I. -Good! -I'm really confident! | 0:34:35 | 0:34:37 | |
That's what we like, a positive attitude. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
Off we go. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:42 | |
First up is Catherine's Art Deco travelling weather station. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:46 | |
£30 for it. £30 bid, straight in. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:49 | |
-£30. 35. 40. -You're holding my arm very tight! | 0:34:49 | 0:34:53 | |
45. 50. 55. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
60. £60 in the middle. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:59 | |
-Bit more! -£60. 65 anywhere? | 0:34:59 | 0:35:03 | |
-OK. -Well done! -That's all right. -Profit! | 0:35:03 | 0:35:06 | |
The sun was shining on that barometer. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:08 | |
A decent profit for Catherine. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:10 | |
-Don't be disappointed. -No, I'm happy with that. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:13 | |
It's Charlie's perfume bottle next, | 0:35:13 | 0:35:16 | |
remember - the one with the dodgy lid? | 0:35:16 | 0:35:18 | |
20? | 0:35:18 | 0:35:20 | |
15, then? | 0:35:20 | 0:35:21 | |
-CHARLIE GROANS -£15. 18 now. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:26 | |
20. 22. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:28 | |
22, gentleman in the middle. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:30 | |
-25. -That's better! -25 now. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |
25, close to me? 25? | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |
-£25, then. -GAVEL BANGS | 0:35:35 | 0:35:39 | |
-Not bad. -I have to say, for a mistake, it's quite good. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:43 | |
Too right, Charlie, it could've been worse. But technically, it's a loss. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:48 | |
I've got £25 to go shopping with. Oh, no, less commission! | 0:35:48 | 0:35:52 | |
Catherine's wool winder is next. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:55 | |
Charlie wouldn't buy it, but maybe somebody else will. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:58 | |
-£40. -He's asking big. -40? -He's not getting it, though. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:03 | |
20 - I heard a voice there. £20 bid. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
-It's going to be sold for 20. -He's opened it up. -22. 25. 28. 30. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:10 | |
-Here we go. -£30 bid. 32, sir. 32. 35. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:15 | |
-Come on! -38. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:17 | |
-40 bid. 40. -It's nearly a profit! | 0:36:17 | 0:36:21 | |
-42. 45. -Yes! -48. -I'm glad I bought that now! | 0:36:21 | 0:36:26 | |
Gentleman in the middle at 48. £50, anybody else? | 0:36:26 | 0:36:30 | |
-Ooh! -I'm going to sell at... Comes back in at 50. £50. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:35 | |
The lady there at 50. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:38 | |
-Very good. -I'm glad I bought that. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:40 | |
It wasn't just the gorgeous man that I bought it from! There was a reason! | 0:36:40 | 0:36:45 | |
Never believe the Doubting Thomases, or Charlies, Catherine. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:48 | |
The wool winder did well. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:50 | |
-It's all right, Miss Southon! -BOTH: Come on! | 0:36:50 | 0:36:53 | |
Next up, Charlie's bottle of ale, | 0:36:53 | 0:36:55 | |
bought with a whole 5p he didn't actually have. | 0:36:55 | 0:37:00 | |
-Rare item. -Very rare, sir! -£10 for it. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:04 | |
-Don't make me break the barrier. -No, do. Bring it down! | 0:37:04 | 0:37:09 | |
£5, then. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:10 | |
-Ohh! £5! -We've got a £5 bid. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:15 | |
£5, I'm bid. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:20 | |
-Ooh! -Nine. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:22 | |
Ten. 11. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:24 | |
-12. £12 bid. -12 pounds! | 0:37:24 | 0:37:28 | |
Expensive beer. £12 on the bottle of beer. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:31 | |
-I'm going to sell it. -£12! Charlie! | 0:37:31 | 0:37:34 | |
Yay! Well done! LAUGHTER | 0:37:34 | 0:37:38 | |
Thank you, sir! | 0:37:38 | 0:37:40 | |
Cheers. That bottle of ale has made Charlie a decent profit | 0:37:40 | 0:37:44 | |
and put him right back in the game. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:47 | |
-You've got to drink it now. -I'm never buying anything for more than 5p again! | 0:37:47 | 0:37:51 | |
It's Catherine's game skewer next. Will she get skewered? | 0:37:51 | 0:37:54 | |
This is probably one of my best items, actually. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
I've got an opening bid of £10. | 0:37:57 | 0:37:59 | |
Oh. That's not very exciting! | 0:37:59 | 0:38:02 | |
-£12, anybody else? 12 here. -Oh, no! -Come on, Miss Southon. -15, sir? | 0:38:02 | 0:38:07 | |
-15. 18. -It's WMF! Did he say that? -20. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:11 | |
£20. Gentleman in the middle. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:14 | |
-I'm really disappointed with that. -22, anybody else? | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
-£20, I'm going to sell it. -That's just not on. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:21 | |
-I have to say, Catherine - -I don't believe that at all. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:25 | |
That's the one thing that I really don't understand. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:28 | |
Yes, that's a blow, and the first loss of the day. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:33 | |
-Chin up, darling. -No, no. I just find that a bit odd. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:37 | |
Disappointing, isn't it? | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
Charlie's silver thimbles are up next. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:42 | |
£40 for the two. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:44 | |
-30, then. Thank you. £30 bid. -Ooh! Well done. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:49 | |
30. £30. 35, anyone else? | 0:38:49 | 0:38:52 | |
-Starting at 30. -Maiden bid at 30. Anyone else? | 0:38:52 | 0:38:56 | |
What about 32? | 0:38:56 | 0:38:58 | |
I'm going to sell them, then, if no-one else comes in. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:02 | |
Ohh! | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
The thimbles have sold for more than Charlie paid. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:07 | |
-But... -It's a loss, isn't it? -It is. -Once you take the commission... | 0:39:07 | 0:39:12 | |
It's Catherine's Art Deco-style brooch up next. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:16 | |
We've got a couple of bids already. I'll start at 15, | 0:39:16 | 0:39:19 | |
20, 25, 30. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:22 | |
-Come on! Keep going! -£35 in the room. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:26 | |
-40. 45. -Come on. It's a good thing, this is. -£45 bid. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:30 | |
-45. 50 anywhere? -Come on, I need 50! -Near me at 45. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:36 | |
-Ooh! -50. -New bid! | 0:39:36 | 0:39:38 | |
-£55. -Go on! | 0:39:38 | 0:39:42 | |
55 and selling... | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
-It's a profit! -That's a smidge of a profit, isn't it? | 0:39:45 | 0:39:50 | |
Well, it's £15, which is not to be sniffed at. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:53 | |
I feel like I'm scraping every single penny. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:57 | |
It's hard work to get your money back in this game. | 0:39:57 | 0:40:00 | |
Yep, it's not easy. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:02 | |
So here comes Charlie's big gamble, with the 5p reduction. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:07 | |
£50 for the Orrefors. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:09 | |
-Oh, dear. -40, then. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:12 | |
-Charlie! -£40 bid. Thank you very much. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:17 | |
-40. 45. 50. -Ooh, Charlie! | 0:40:17 | 0:40:21 | |
-Hold on, hold on. -55. 60. -Ooh. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
-It's getting there. -£60 on my left. -It's worth more than that. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:27 | |
65, anybody else? | 0:40:27 | 0:40:29 | |
-£60. 65. -Gentleman in the hat! | 0:40:29 | 0:40:32 | |
-Come on, madam! -65. 70. -Ooh! | 0:40:32 | 0:40:36 | |
£70? £70 on my left. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:39 | |
70, then. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:41 | |
Five now. 75. 75. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:45 | |
-Madam, you know it makes sense! -80, anybody else? | 0:40:45 | 0:40:48 | |
75. 80 bid there. £80. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:51 | |
-She doesn't know if she wants it now. -She does. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
-£80. -Madam, I'm eternally gratefully! | 0:40:54 | 0:40:57 | |
-Roscoe still lives! -And the gamble paid off. | 0:40:57 | 0:41:01 | |
-That was a bit of excitement. -There is a Lord, isn't there? | 0:41:01 | 0:41:05 | |
And now, onto Catherine's devilish cayenne pepper pot. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:10 | |
£50 for it? | 0:41:10 | 0:41:12 | |
-Come on. -50. -Oh, come on. -£40, then. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:15 | |
-Come on! -£30? -Please! Desperation here! | 0:41:15 | 0:41:20 | |
20. £20. 25? | 0:41:20 | 0:41:24 | |
-Yes. -30. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:26 | |
-Oh. -30 here. -Don't get me excited. | 0:41:26 | 0:41:29 | |
-Come on. -35 now. 35. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:32 | |
-Ooh, Miss Southon. -£35 bid. 35. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:35 | |
-35. I'm going to sell it. -Dear, oh, dear! | 0:41:35 | 0:41:38 | |
I thought you lot in Wareham were going to go for these things! | 0:41:38 | 0:41:42 | |
Another blow for Catherine, sadly. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:45 | |
I can't believe that, actually. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:48 | |
It's the last lot of the day - | 0:41:48 | 0:41:50 | |
Charlie's Silverstone programme. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:52 | |
£10 bid. Thank you very much. £10. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
Where are all these people for my lots? | 0:41:55 | 0:41:57 | |
-£12, anybody else? -£12?! -£12 here. 15, sir? | 0:41:57 | 0:42:01 | |
-15. 18, sir? -Well... -18 bid now. 18. -Unbelievable! | 0:42:01 | 0:42:07 | |
-20, anybody else? -Charlie, you are amazing. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:11 | |
-Charlie... -I didn't imagine that! | 0:42:11 | 0:42:13 | |
Hats off to you today because you have done brilliantly. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:16 | |
With nearly £15 profit on that programme, | 0:42:16 | 0:42:19 | |
I'm inclined to agree. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:21 | |
Considering you had a pile of old rubbish, | 0:42:21 | 0:42:24 | |
you have turned it into gold! | 0:42:24 | 0:42:28 | |
And what an auction it's been. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:30 | |
Catherine started this leg with £216.56 | 0:42:30 | 0:42:34 | |
and has made a loss of £21.60, after auction costs. Bad luck. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:39 | |
That leaves her with a grand total of £194.96 to carry forward. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:44 | |
Don't look so stern. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:46 | |
Charlie, on the other hand, has bought wisely, making him today's winner. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:52 | |
He kicked off the day with £103.04, | 0:42:52 | 0:42:55 | |
but managed to make a profit of £32.26, after costs, | 0:42:55 | 0:42:59 | |
bumping his total up to £135.30 to spend next time. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:05 | |
Great! | 0:43:05 | 0:43:07 | |
-Don't you love Wareham? -I do. And the sun is shining! | 0:43:07 | 0:43:11 | |
Charlie is happy and he is back in the game. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
All is right with my world, Miss Southon. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:17 | |
Yee-ha! | 0:43:17 | 0:43:19 | |
BOTH: Bye, Wareham! | 0:43:20 | 0:43:23 | |
Next time on the Antiques Road Trip, | 0:43:23 | 0:43:25 | |
Catherine cranks up the charm offensive.... | 0:43:25 | 0:43:28 | |
-She's a hard lady. -Oh, I'm not! | 0:43:28 | 0:43:31 | |
I like the fact that you're stroking my hand. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:33 | |
..and Charlie runs into trouble. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:36 | |
I'm at a hell of a disadvantage being male here! | 0:43:36 | 0:43:39 | |
