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.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14- That hurts.- The aim?

0:00:14 > 0:00:17To make the biggest profit at auction,

0:00:17 > 0:00:21but it's no mean feat, there'll be worthy winners, and valiant losers.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25- So much!- So, will it be the high road to glory?

0:00:25 > 0:00:27Or the slow road to disaster?

0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip!

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

0:00:37 > 0:00:42It's the third leg of our Antiques Road Trip, with treasure hunters

0:00:42 > 0:00:45David Barby and Margie Cooper, in their open top, 1979,

0:00:45 > 0:00:48Mercedes 350 SL,

0:00:48 > 0:00:52and with two wins in a row, David is looking for a hat-trick.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54I always like to get a little sparkler.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00But I don't know, it's all the luck of the draw.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04David has a really proved himself

0:01:04 > 0:01:07the master of ceramics on this road trip, not just once...

0:01:07 > 0:01:10All finished at 240?

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Well done!

0:01:12 > 0:01:13..but twice.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15170...

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Oh, my goodness me.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19That was amazing.

0:01:19 > 0:01:25And travelling companion, Margie, is getting to know his wicked ways.

0:01:25 > 0:01:26You just can't trust him.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29He does this terribly puzzled and worried look,

0:01:29 > 0:01:32and he's got an absolute fabulous little item,

0:01:32 > 0:01:35that makes him a really good profit.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Margie has slowly but surely been growing her cash

0:01:38 > 0:01:44over the last two auctions, which means she now has £294.40 to spend.

0:01:44 > 0:01:49David, on the other hand, has more than doubled his money,

0:01:49 > 0:01:52giving him a whopping £485.60 to splurge.

0:01:55 > 0:02:01The route for the week takes our road trippers from Alnwick in Northumberland

0:02:01 > 0:02:04through the beautiful English countryside, to the final destination of Lincoln,

0:02:04 > 0:02:07200 miles away.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09But today's trip begins in Bridlington on the coast,

0:02:09 > 0:02:14before heading inland to the auction in Sheffield, the home of snooker.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Bridlington is a quaint seaside town,

0:02:17 > 0:02:20bringing back some happy memories for David.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Do you know, this sort of holiday resort takes me back to

0:02:25 > 0:02:27when I was very young, in the 1950...

0:02:27 > 0:02:29er, 1960s!

0:02:29 > 0:02:30THEY LAUGH

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Yeah, right.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35You were probably building sand castles here in 1643,

0:02:35 > 0:02:39when the Royal troops landed to fight in the English Civil War.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43But the only battle David faces today is with the Mercedes.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Right, now then, which is your shop?

0:02:45 > 0:02:49- This is so difficult, getting out of this car.- Now, which is your shop?

0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Yours is up there, isn't it? The Georgian Tea Rooms.- Yeah.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55- And mine's here. All the very best. - Is that sincere?

0:02:55 > 0:02:57It's always sincere.

0:02:58 > 0:03:03The first stop for David is Priory Antiques.

0:03:04 > 0:03:09- Hello.- Hello.- David Barby. You're? - Irene Cook.- Hello, Irene.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13Can you point me in the direction of somewhere, let's say silver?

0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Do you have any Silver? - Yes, we've got some...

0:03:16 > 0:03:18some nice silver buttons in here.

0:03:19 > 0:03:24Quite pretty. Yes. Yes, they're quite pretty.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Have you got an eyeglass I could use? - Yes, I have.

0:03:28 > 0:03:33- Oh, wonderful, thank you very much. - Now, what's David up to, here?

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Silver is Margie's speciality.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Could he be playing her at her own game? Sneaky.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Right, these are quite small, they are probably blouse buttons.

0:03:44 > 0:03:50They are for a lady. And they have got a female design on them.

0:03:50 > 0:03:55I think the female is playing a lyre, so very Grecian, isn't it?

0:03:55 > 0:03:59- What's the price on those? - Well, they are 70.- 70!

0:04:01 > 0:04:02Yes.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07It's got to be a bit less than that.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11They are very, very small buttons.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14- I was thinking around about £40. - What about 50?

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Can I say 45? Split the difference.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22- OK.- 45.- Yeah.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- OK.- OK.- That was quick. - It was, wasn't it?

0:04:26 > 0:04:30Can you take me somewhere else? Show me another object.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Nearby, at the Georgian Tea Rooms,

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Margie has found some silver of her own.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Two Edwardian scent bottles, at £35 for the pair.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41So, how cheap would those be?

0:04:41 > 0:04:46I think, considering I did buy them at a car boot sale,

0:04:46 > 0:04:48there's a little bit of money in it for me.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Yeah.- So, 20 quid, I'd walk away with a bit of a profit.

0:04:52 > 0:04:58- A deal. Thank you.- So, we'll put those there, and I'll move on.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Another quick purchase, most unlike Margie.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05Little pally pencils that...

0:05:05 > 0:05:08they collapse. They're great.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12But look at this one, it's a miniature one. It's £19!

0:05:14 > 0:05:15And I really like it.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19Miniature propelling pencils were popular with Victorians.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22They could be attached to charm bracelets for a lady

0:05:22 > 0:05:24out shopping, or even used with a dance card.

0:05:24 > 0:05:31And would you believe it? Here is a card that would have been marked.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34And I've actually never seen one of these.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37So there's a list of all the dances,

0:05:37 > 0:05:42and then each dance would have somebody's name.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44And I think this has been... Let me have a quick look.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Yeah, somebody's put Spiderman on there!

0:05:56 > 0:05:59That's what they look like, and I've never seen one of those before.

0:05:59 > 0:06:00It's original.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04I'm trying to work out what the one step is.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06I don't know, absolutely no idea.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09You certainly don't see it in any of the modern dance programs.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Yeah, I quite like that, but I'm not convinced it's Victorian.

0:06:13 > 0:06:19- Well, I could do it for 15, and throw in this card...- Right.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23..to make up a package. 12 at the very best. 12 at the death.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Yeah, not ten?

0:06:25 > 0:06:27THEY LAUGH

0:06:27 > 0:06:30You're amazing, you know? Absolutely amazing.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Yeah, I know, aren't we awful? - Hang on, let me just check my heart.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34It's settled down a bit.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38- OK, ten.- All right.- Yeah. - Brill.- Thank you.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Do you think I'll make a fortune? - No.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Very striking.- It is, isn't it?

0:06:45 > 0:06:50- That's £40.- It's very exhibition, isn't it?

0:06:50 > 0:06:54At £40, it's too much for the type of pottery that it is.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58- A 1960s West German vase, in case you were wondering.- 15.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04- SHE WHISPERS - 25.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08- My original price on that was £15. - 'Why are they whispering?'

0:07:08 > 0:07:12And I'd like to keep to £15, if you don't mind?

0:07:12 > 0:07:17- Don't feel under any pressure. - Come down to 17.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19£15.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25It's got to be 15, I can't see it any more.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Erm, how about 16?

0:07:31 > 0:07:37You're a hard woman. Really hard. Thank you very much.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41Right, so that one vase, how much to I owe you?

0:07:41 > 0:07:45Right, there's 45 for the buttons, and 16 for those.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48£61.

0:07:48 > 0:07:53I bet he'll use that "no change," line, all for the sake of a pound.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Have you some change, please, or would you strike that off?

0:07:56 > 0:08:01- £60 exactly.- You're a hard man, aren't you?

0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Go on then, we'll make it 60. - Cheeky beggar!

0:08:05 > 0:08:07He got the vase for £15, after all.

0:08:07 > 0:08:12Just as he's about to leave, David spots a rustic-looking garden bench.

0:08:12 > 0:08:17But, with a price tag of £200, he needs to try it before he buys.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20What exactly is he plotting?

0:08:24 > 0:08:28- I think £60 is adequate. - I can't come down to that.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31- You can!- I can't.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36- 68.- We'll split the difference at 65 and that's it.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39- I won't say anything more.- 68!

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Good for you, girl. That will shut him up!

0:08:55 > 0:08:57You've had your wicked way with me.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Perish the thought!

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Right, OK. 68.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06My goodness me!

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- There's £80, thank you.- OK.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12I'll just go and get the change.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Can I have it wrapped?

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Margie is also settling her account.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20£10 for the propelling pencil and dance card

0:09:20 > 0:09:22and £24 for the pair of scent bottles.

0:09:22 > 0:09:27- £30.- Thank you very much. I'll need change, after all.- Sure.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31- If you give me ten... - Just in the nick of time.

0:09:31 > 0:09:36- Margie!- Hello.- Hello, darling!

0:09:37 > 0:09:40- I'm moving on.- How are you doing?

0:09:40 > 0:09:43- OK. You?- Have you had a purchase?

0:09:44 > 0:09:49Oh, you're not going to play that worried look, are you?

0:09:49 > 0:09:54- Have you spent much?- No.- I'm just going out here. You can come in now.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56- I'm going to go in your shop.- OK.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Best of luck across there.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05He's probably been in and bought all the bargains, but never mind.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09I don't know what David will have bought. Something quirky!

0:10:09 > 0:10:13- It's behind you!- There's loads of things. It's really interesting.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17- You've just got to think, you know. - It's behind you!

0:10:17 > 0:10:20What's going to sell well?

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Oh, for the love of...

0:10:23 > 0:10:25This is a funny old thing, isn't it?

0:10:25 > 0:10:29Look at that! It's a very imaginative piece, isn't it?

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Yes, it is. A real cartwheel from a real cart.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35The only thing missing is the horse.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Prrr!

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Ha! Thanks, Margie.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43Now, go and find something David hasn't bought.

0:10:43 > 0:10:48What about that Mackintosh-style oak cabinet at £65?

0:10:49 > 0:10:51I could do it for 40.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55- 40's a good price.- Yeah. - Especially with the glass -

0:10:55 > 0:10:58- the bevelled glass.- I do like the glass. It is nice, yeah.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01I'm just trying to imagine, is somebody going to...?

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Like it as much as you do?

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Absolutely!

0:11:05 > 0:11:09The only way that you feel confident is that it becomes so cheap.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13I know it sounds pathetic but a couple of pounds off 40 would help.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15- 38?- Oh, great.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Well, I'll buy it. - OK then.- Thanks a lot.

0:11:17 > 0:11:22All shopped out in Bridlington, it's time for our experts to move on.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26Yeah, thanks, guys. Who's going to carry that cabinet

0:11:26 > 0:11:29and huge great bench off to auction, hey?

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Back on the road, our experts head to Hull,

0:11:32 > 0:11:35where Margie is making a pit stop

0:11:35 > 0:11:39for an Humber-lievable driving experience.

0:11:39 > 0:11:40You love Humber cars.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43I'm not so sure I know what Humber cars look like.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Well, they're rounded.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49They're so typical of the 1940s, 1950s, aren't they?

0:11:49 > 0:11:53You can't think of a quality car without thinking of a Humber.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Quality cars! Here? Are you sure?

0:11:58 > 0:12:00That's more like it.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04This is a private collection of 28 Humber cars, owned by Alan Marshall.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09- I think you'll find all the best stuff's kept in here.- Oh, my word!

0:12:09 > 0:12:12What an amazing collection!

0:12:12 > 0:12:17Alan's businessman father started the collection in 1960

0:12:17 > 0:12:21with a second-hand Humber and used it to deliver potatoes.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24These silver dream machines, favoured by the ruling classes,

0:12:24 > 0:12:27were nicknamed old faithfuls for their reliability.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31By the 1920s, the company, founded by Thomas Humber of Sheffield,

0:12:31 > 0:12:34had established itself as a motor car manufacturer

0:12:34 > 0:12:37of the highest quality.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Its original owner was Baroness Rothschild.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43This colour is called black pearl over shell grey.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46- You could really have any colour you liked.- It's gorgeous!

0:12:46 > 0:12:49I just think it carries the land very well.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52This, of course, was the debutant era of the big dresses

0:12:52 > 0:12:55and high hair. Diamonds and fares.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58The doors hinge backwards.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Then, what Humber did was raise the floors by about six inches

0:13:01 > 0:13:03to cover the transmission tunnel,

0:13:03 > 0:13:07so it allowed the ladies to walk in forwards, without having to shuffle.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10And she could do a complete turn and then sit.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13I was told the baroness actually used to sit at this side here.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17She was quite vain and she loved to be seen by the people along the side of the road.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20If you had the Pullman, this was the bees knees.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23The cars were particularly popular with the Royal family.

0:13:23 > 0:13:27King George VI had a fleet of 47 Humbers.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31For anyone that was anyone, these were the cars to be seen in.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40It was formerly the property of Edward and Mrs Simpson,

0:13:40 > 0:13:43in their courting days.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47- My word!- It's the only one of its type in the world that we know of.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51It's called the Humber Snipe. It's a 1932 model.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Because of the couple's clandestine relationship,

0:13:54 > 0:13:58this unique Royal car was ordered with a very special spec.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02You can see it's got a very small back window and very dark inside.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04I think you get more of an impression by sitting in

0:14:04 > 0:14:06and sitting right back.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09Imagine you're going around the streets of London.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Nobody can see you in the back of the car.- Totally private!

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Open the cupboard doors at that side.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17- There's a lovely reading lamp in there.- Oh, look at that!

0:14:17 > 0:14:19A cigar lighter.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23There's even a little safe-deposit box under the carpet.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26I'm sitting where Mrs Simpson sat.

0:14:26 > 0:14:30Fantastic, hey! Anything down...?

0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Ooh, hang on!- I've checked.

0:14:33 > 0:14:38Have you checked? I fancy myself in here with a future king.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Well, if you want to be a queen, Margie,

0:14:41 > 0:14:44you'd better get accustomed to the lifestyle.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Bring your tiara with you.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49I haven't brought it with me, what a shame!

0:14:50 > 0:14:54Right, here we go. Not too far. I don't want to use all your petrol.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Right, I'm ready. - Elbow on the armrest, please.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Elbow on the armrest. - Hand up vertical.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02And wave!

0:15:15 > 0:15:18CAR HORN

0:15:19 > 0:15:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:21 > 0:15:25Tell you what, you're very good at that!

0:15:25 > 0:15:30So, Queen Margie ends the day in a slightly posher car than usual.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34She always did have delusions of grandeur. Night-night, Ma'am!

0:15:39 > 0:15:42It's a glorious new day for our antiques experts

0:15:42 > 0:15:46and another chance for them to spend all their hoarded cash.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48But someone is getting a little jumpy.

0:15:48 > 0:15:53And now I'm being quite truthful with you - I'm in a panic mode.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56So, I may buy the first thing I see.

0:15:56 > 0:16:01- Oh, right!- So far, David has spent £128 on three items.

0:16:01 > 0:16:06Some dainty, art nouveau buttons. A Retro German vase,

0:16:06 > 0:16:08and a hulking great garden seat,

0:16:08 > 0:16:12leaving him with £357.60 to splash.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Margie, meanwhile, has spent £68

0:16:15 > 0:16:19on a pair of silver-topped scent bottles,

0:16:19 > 0:16:23a Victorian pencil and dance card, and an oak cabinet -

0:16:23 > 0:16:27leaving her with £226.40 for the day ahead.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32David and Margie are travelling 60 miles across country

0:16:32 > 0:16:35to the next shop in Harworth,

0:16:35 > 0:16:37a small town in the county of Nottinghamshire.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Here we go! There it is!

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Oh!

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Harrison's is quite literally a warehouse full of antiques.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Surely there's something here for David,

0:16:51 > 0:16:54if he can make it out of the car, that is.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56CAR HORN

0:16:57 > 0:17:01- Stop it!- Are you trying to announce your arrival?

0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Best of luck.- See you later.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Oh, dear!

0:17:09 > 0:17:13- Hello.- Good morning.- David Barby. - Charlotte Harrison.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Pleased to meet you. - Pleased to meet you. Goodness me!

0:17:16 > 0:17:19- got a lot here, haven't you? - Quite a bit, yep.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23I think I'll start on this are sort of wander through.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26And, as David get into his stride,

0:17:26 > 0:17:31it's not long before he's drawn to a piece of Bretby Art Pottery.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36- I'll give you that for £5. - You're not giving me it.

0:17:36 > 0:17:41- I'm paying £5 for it.- You cheapskate!- I've got another piece.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45- Yeah.- I could have combined with that.- Right.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49One of those West German vases, stands about that big.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52I just thought that might add a little bit of interest.

0:17:52 > 0:17:56So, David's thinking of combining this vase with his German one.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Come on, man! A fiver's hardly going to break the bank.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02It's stencilled, isn't it, design?

0:18:02 > 0:18:07Er, no need to rush a decision, hey?

0:18:07 > 0:18:10Right, just let me continue my perambulations.

0:18:10 > 0:18:11No problem.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Well, food for thought then and time for a ponder and a wander.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17What about a nice piece of silver?

0:18:17 > 0:18:20A hallmarked vase by Walker and Hall of Birmingham.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23It's quality.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26£84!

0:18:26 > 0:18:27What's the best on that?

0:18:27 > 0:18:30I would allow you to have it for 60.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34- What about 50?- Meet you halfway - 55!

0:18:34 > 0:18:37It's too much. And the school board?

0:18:37 > 0:18:42Right, the price on that is 200.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Oh, sugars!- Produced by Orme and Sons,

0:18:45 > 0:18:47one of the most respected makers of billiard tables,

0:18:47 > 0:18:49this late 19th-century school board

0:18:49 > 0:18:52could be a nice little earner for David.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55- I know it's got the button missing on the end...- It has.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59So, for that, I can knock you off £20 then.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Just 20?

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Well, how much do you think you'd like to pay?

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Could it be 120?

0:19:09 > 0:19:12I would say... My lowest I can take

0:19:12 > 0:19:15is 150. I'm being good to you.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17150.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Crikey!- Thank you.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22That's something you don't see every day.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24You've been lucky today selling that.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Oh my God, you've taken that hand so quickly.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31Well, Charlotte scores on the board but Barby is still after a winning pot.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35- That vase, would you throw it in with that?- If you want me to.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39Thank you very much. I'm happy. OK, lovely.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42But, will they go snooker loopy for this

0:19:42 > 0:19:44over at the auction in Sheffield?

0:19:44 > 0:19:48Next door, Margie is eyeing up a nice pair of jugs.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Look out, look out! There's a Barby about.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55- 28.- Oh, look who's coming!

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Look behind you!

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Excuse me, I can feel someone's presence...

0:20:04 > 0:20:05..in here.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Sorry!- I can feel someone's presence.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Have you finished?- No. You must fizzle off round there.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15I will do. OK.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17With the opposition dispatched,

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Margie can take a closer look at the set of horse pictures.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22- How much are they?- £40.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25I'm just going to look at this really bad one.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29The pictures are of winners of the renowned St Leger's Stakes -

0:20:29 > 0:20:35a horse race that has taken place in Doncaster since 1776.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38This one's called...

0:20:38 > 0:20:42We're learning about horseracing today. The Blue Bonnet.

0:20:42 > 0:20:48Blue Bonnet by a touchdown. Winner of the St Leger in 1812.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Yeah, what do you expect?

0:20:50 > 0:20:55But, darling, I think that's passed the point of no return, I think.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59Got to go for these, haven't we?

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Marge is taking a £40 punt on the gee-gees.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05But, what are the odds on them doing well at auction?

0:21:05 > 0:21:07I think you've got a good chance with those.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Do you think so? Buy two get one free really, isn't it, with that one?

0:21:10 > 0:21:11It's really bad, that one.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14I've they just need cleaning up.

0:21:14 > 0:21:1540's the absolute...?

0:21:15 > 0:21:19- Oh, yes.- Oh, yes. - That is an absolute...- Steal.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23- It's a steal, yeah.- I'm not going to argue with you. Thank you very much.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27- You'll not go wrong with those. - Let's leave it with you.

0:21:27 > 0:21:32- Thank you very much.- One, two... - Lovely!

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Three, four.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38No, £40. You give me 20s.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40See how honest we are!

0:21:40 > 0:21:44- I'll give you the benefit of the doubt!- What an idiot!

0:21:44 > 0:21:48Gosh, she's hardly got any money as it is and now she's giving it away.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Right, here I go.- Good luck to you. - Bye.

0:21:51 > 0:21:56As Margie goes next door, it seems David has not been idle.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00This is a piece of Worcester porcelain.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03And it's quite a well-known design.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06A little bit rubbed there on the gilt,

0:22:06 > 0:22:09but this is in the form of a shell with coral.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13You've got the lizard going up the side there, all in gilt.

0:22:13 > 0:22:19This is typical sort of 1880/1890 top-quality porcelain.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22Really very nice.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25I like that. I'll ask the price on that.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29- £50.- Is that the best?

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Yeah, I would say so, yes.

0:22:36 > 0:22:42- Would you do it for 40?- Er, 45?

0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Thank you.- Thank you.- Right.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Another item for David. Hurrah!

0:22:50 > 0:22:52Now, remember that silver vase he liked.

0:22:52 > 0:22:56Like a magpie, silver. It draws me.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58He got the price down to £55.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Can Margie do any better?

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Nice vase.

0:23:04 > 0:23:061930s...

0:23:07 > 0:23:10..Walker and Hall.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12How much is this, Charlotte?

0:23:12 > 0:23:15- I bet it's going to be too dear.- That's £85.- Yeah.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Jolly nice.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19How much is it worth to you?

0:23:19 > 0:23:21It would be half.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25I would go as low as...50.

0:23:25 > 0:23:29You're being very fair but it's just got to be a dead cert.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32If you really want it, I will let you have it for 40.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34£40. Yeah.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Hold on, that's £15 less than David was offered.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44- It's a bargain at half the price. - Do you think so?

0:23:44 > 0:23:47It's not a bargain, it's a good buy.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50It's not a bargain, it's a good buy.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53David is going to be furious.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56So, that's one...

0:23:56 > 0:23:58There. And two. That's your lot.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Thank you very much.

0:24:01 > 0:24:05Blissfully unaware of the deal that's just been done,

0:24:05 > 0:24:09David has driven 18 miles north to the Trolleybus Museum

0:24:09 > 0:24:13at Sandtoft, for a spot of time travel.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Really, really looking forward to it.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19It's going to bring back so many memories of when I was a kid.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22# Clang, clang, clang went the trolley

0:24:22 > 0:24:25# Ding, ding, ding went the bell

0:24:25 > 0:24:28# Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings... #

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Very pleased to meet you.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33Hi, I'm Bruce. Welcome to the museum.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36Thank you very much indeed. It's like a time capsule, isn't it?

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Yes, we're set in the 1950s and '60s,

0:24:38 > 0:24:40which is the era of the trolleybus in Britain.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44Travel in post-war Britain was a very different story,

0:24:44 > 0:24:47when cars were considered an expensive luxury.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Trams and trolleybuses provided a popular and cheap form

0:24:51 > 0:24:55of public transport in major cities like London, Leeds and Edinburgh.

0:24:57 > 0:25:02What's the difference between a tram and a trolley bus?

0:25:02 > 0:25:08Oh, trams need to run on rails, as most people remember from Blackpool.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11Trams pick up the current from one overhead wire

0:25:11 > 0:25:13and return the current through the rails,

0:25:13 > 0:25:16whereas a trolleybus runs, as you can see, on normal rubber tyres.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Yes.- But needs two wires in the air -

0:25:19 > 0:25:22one to bring the current in and one to take it back.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26- Very, very sort of environmentally friendly.- That's true. Yes.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29There's no emissions at street level.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31All the electricity is very clean

0:25:31 > 0:25:36and it's an environmentally friendly form of transport.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40The museum has over 50 trolleybuses from all over the world.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42Some in full working order and others

0:25:42 > 0:25:45that have only just started out on the long journey

0:25:45 > 0:25:47towards refurbishment.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50This is a prime example of the restoration going on at the moment.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52This is a Nottingham trolley bus.

0:25:52 > 0:25:56It's a six-wheeler and it dates from 1935.

0:25:56 > 0:25:57It's all wooden structure.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01That's right. Generally they were built of hardwood, which is why they survived.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04This is an example of one that was turned into a garden shed,

0:26:04 > 0:26:07when it was withdrawn.

0:26:07 > 0:26:11- Right.- That's why it survived. Otherwise it would have been burned.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14You can actually see that it's been used in the garden, can't you?

0:26:14 > 0:26:18- Yes.- That's the original paintwork, which would be green underneath. - That's right.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21How long is this going to take?

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Oh, could be anywhere up to ten years!

0:26:23 > 0:26:27- Ten years!- They've probably been at it about three or four already.

0:26:27 > 0:26:28How many do you have working on it?

0:26:28 > 0:26:31Um, three or four people, generally.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34Because, with volunteers, it's an ad hoc arrangement,

0:26:34 > 0:26:36there isn't a sort of a daily working party on it.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Just tell me, is there a bus that operates now?

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Let's have a look at this trolleybus outside.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44OK, all aboard.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Hello.

0:26:47 > 0:26:51- Welcome aboard.- Thank you very much indeed. Where does it go?

0:26:51 > 0:26:55Sandtoft Square or journey's end, the terminus, whichever.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59- Journey's end, my favourite part. - There you are.- Thank you very much.

0:26:59 > 0:27:04# I counted to ten then I counted to ten again... #

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Hold tight, please!

0:27:10 > 0:27:14This is wonderful. Absolutely marvellous!

0:27:14 > 0:27:17I feel as though I'm in a time machine.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21I shall open the door and end up in the 1950s.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24It really is bringing back so many memories.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26This is going to be the transport of the future.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29# Bump, bump, bump went the brakes

0:27:29 > 0:27:32# Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings

0:27:32 > 0:27:35# When he smiled, I could feel the car shake... #

0:27:35 > 0:27:38Whilst David goes off his trolley,

0:27:38 > 0:27:44Margie has driven on to Rotherham to squeeze in one last shop of the day.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Tick, tock, Margie!

0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Hello. Hi, Margie!- Hi!

0:27:48 > 0:27:51- How are you doing?- Not that brilliantly in the last hour.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54Oh, dear! Come through, have a look around.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56- Yeah, OK. You're mainly furniture, aren't you?- Mainly furniture.

0:27:56 > 0:28:00Yes, I'm just trying to find a little piece to go with my last item,

0:28:00 > 0:28:04which is to do with writing or miniatures

0:28:04 > 0:28:06or something like that.

0:28:06 > 0:28:10I've just thought about that little silver charm bracelet.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13It's got some dancing slippers on.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16It's very nice. What is it? 1960s, usually.

0:28:16 > 0:28:20Usually a bit earlier. Could be 1940s, '50s.

0:28:21 > 0:28:25- Back in fashion, aren't they?- Yeah, they sell OK.- Back in fashion. Yeah.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28So, how much?

0:28:28 > 0:28:33Well, it should be 45, er, £40.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36I think that's too dear for me.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39You see, I've bought something else.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Mmm.- Yes, that's very nice of you...

0:28:42 > 0:28:44It cost me 25. Do it for 35.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Margie has gone miniature mad.

0:28:48 > 0:28:52- We'll shake on that.- Thank you very much. I hope you'll do well with it.

0:28:52 > 0:28:54I do, too. I do, too.

0:28:56 > 0:29:00With the bracelet, miniature pencil and dance card making one lot,

0:29:00 > 0:29:04the shopping is over and David has one or two surprises in store.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07- Margie!- Yeah. What's going on?

0:29:07 > 0:29:09Oh, you bought that!

0:29:09 > 0:29:12THEY LAUGH

0:29:12 > 0:29:13I know, it's a love seat.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15All my money's gone.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17You're a little monkey, aren't you?

0:29:17 > 0:29:19- You've bought other things? - Yes, I have.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23Oh, my goodness. May I have a look?

0:29:23 > 0:29:24Please.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27Be careful with it because it cost a lot of money.

0:29:27 > 0:29:31I'm sure it did. This man is driving me...

0:29:31 > 0:29:33Ah, that's lovely. Nautilus Shell.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36How lovely! That's absolutely gorgeous.

0:29:36 > 0:29:40- The mark on the bottom is Worcester. Yeah.- Oh, that's beautiful.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42And how much was it?

0:29:42 > 0:29:43Have a guess.

0:29:45 > 0:29:46180.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48Miles out, Margie. Guess again.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54Please, don't play games! I can't bear it!

0:29:54 > 0:29:56£45.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59£45?!

0:29:59 > 0:30:02- I'm getting fed up with this. - DAVID LAUGHS

0:30:02 > 0:30:04- I'm not playing this game any more. - Do you think it'll go for 180?

0:30:04 > 0:30:08Don't look all hesitant like that, you're thrilled to bits!

0:30:08 > 0:30:11I am really. Right, this cost me £150.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14Lovely, with the chalk centre.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17- That's right. - And all these panels work.

0:30:17 > 0:30:18We've got one roundel missing

0:30:18 > 0:30:20but I don't think it's... not too bad to turn out.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24- Well, they are fun pieces, aren't they?- They are. Right.

0:30:24 > 0:30:25Are you ready?

0:30:25 > 0:30:26I am!

0:30:26 > 0:30:30- Oh, I don't believe it!- What? - I do not believe it!- What?

0:30:30 > 0:30:32- I do not believe it!- Believe it.

0:30:32 > 0:30:33- That!- Why?

0:30:33 > 0:30:36I turned it down for that.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38- Oh, did you?- Yes.- Well, you've probably done better.

0:30:38 > 0:30:43- You got that for 55?- No.- How much? - 40.- You didn't!- I did.- You did not!

0:30:43 > 0:30:46You know what, it's because I didn't want to buy it.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48- Do you want to have a look? Have you...?- I've examined it, thank you.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50Right, OK.

0:30:50 > 0:30:51Er, let me have a look...

0:30:51 > 0:30:54I'm fascinated by your prints.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Right, I don't think their prints. Hang on. Hopefully not.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01They are prints laid to canvas.

0:31:01 > 0:31:02- Are you sure?- Yeah.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05Don't tell me they're going down the river? They were for £40.

0:31:05 > 0:31:06Er...

0:31:06 > 0:31:09Think they could fetch, what, 100?

0:31:10 > 0:31:14I think that would be very favourable. £100.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16- What, that would be optimistic? - Yeah. SHE CHUCKLES

0:31:16 > 0:31:19But they are nice. They are nice things.

0:31:19 > 0:31:24- I can't get over your silver vase at £40!- I think we've both done well.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27- We'll see, won't we?- Yes.- We'll see.

0:31:27 > 0:31:31Like butter wouldn't melt. But what do they really think?

0:31:31 > 0:31:34David is becoming a formidable opponent.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37I think he's bought really well today.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40The risk is the billiard scoreboard

0:31:40 > 0:31:42but, there again, if somebody's got a billiard table, erm,

0:31:42 > 0:31:44that could do really well.

0:31:44 > 0:31:49The items I don't think will do well are those lithographic prints,

0:31:49 > 0:31:51which are in such an awful state.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54Made to look as though they are actual oil paintings on canvas

0:31:54 > 0:31:55but they are not.

0:31:55 > 0:31:59OK, Mr smarty-pants. Let's find out!

0:31:59 > 0:32:02From Rotherham there's one final push on to Sheffield

0:32:02 > 0:32:04and auction day.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06I think we're going to do quite well here, Margie.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08- Well, I think you might! - I really, really do.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11- I'm not as excited as you are! - I'm getting quite excited about this.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14- Margie, all the best. - And to you, too.- Thank you.

0:32:16 > 0:32:20Today our experts are doing battle at Sheffield Auction Gallery,

0:32:20 > 0:32:22in business since 1840.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24So they should know what they're talking about.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Let's see what auctioneer Robert Lea thinks

0:32:27 > 0:32:29about David's and Margie's items.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31'One of the two things I like,'

0:32:31 > 0:32:34I certainly like the Snooker scoreboard,

0:32:34 > 0:32:37that should do well in Sheffield, hopefully, the home of snooker!

0:32:37 > 0:32:40Yeah, there's those three horseracing prints.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43Quite early and I know they are in a tired state,

0:32:43 > 0:32:47but we're not far from Doncaster, where the St Leger is,

0:32:47 > 0:32:49so, hopefully, that should attract some local interest.

0:32:52 > 0:32:56David began today's road trip with a mighty £485.60

0:32:56 > 0:32:59and has spent £323 on five lots,

0:32:59 > 0:33:03leaving him with £162.60 cash in hand.

0:33:06 > 0:33:11Margie started out with £294.40 and has also bought five lots

0:33:11 > 0:33:18costing £183, leaving her with a cash reserve of £111.40.

0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Here we are, here we are.- Here we go.

0:33:25 > 0:33:29First up for Margie, it's the pair of Edwardian scent bottles.

0:33:29 > 0:33:3128, a marker.

0:33:31 > 0:33:3428...£30. 32...35... 8...£40.

0:33:34 > 0:33:38£40...42...45...48...50.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42- £50, hammer's going to drop! - It's a fair price.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45The sweet smell of success for Margie

0:33:45 > 0:33:48and a good profit on her first lot.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51- That's excellent. He sold those well. - He did, bless him.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54David's vase combo is up next -

0:33:54 > 0:33:59the 1960s west German piece and the more traditional Bretby.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02- £28 this lot and you're paying for the two.- 28?

0:34:02 > 0:34:0330, I'm after.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06£30 it must be to take the commission...

0:34:06 > 0:34:08Come on, come on.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10That's one, there's one over there.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12Looking at 32 to progress.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14£30 standing bid.

0:34:14 > 0:34:1632, gentleman on my left.

0:34:16 > 0:34:20- Oh!- Got to be 35. 32 only.

0:34:20 > 0:34:24Anyone offering any more? They've got to go! Over now, it's 32.

0:34:24 > 0:34:25Oh, he's trying so hard.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Ugh!- It's a profit.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31Not a bad start for David but Margie takes an early lead.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33- It's not £30 profits like yours! - Look at...

0:34:33 > 0:34:35SHE LAUGHS

0:34:35 > 0:34:39Now it's Margie's bundle of the Victorian propelling pencil

0:34:39 > 0:34:43and dance card with the Silver Charm bracelet.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46Must start the bidding at...

0:34:46 > 0:34:47£18, 20 I'm after.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50£20 I need to move on.

0:34:50 > 0:34:54- With me at £18 on commission... - Oh, my Lord.- ..22, 25, madam.

0:34:54 > 0:34:58I'm out but I'm out too soon. I need 28 elsewhere.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00- £25...- That's too low.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03- No!- Over now, here? At 25.

0:35:04 > 0:35:05Disaster.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08Margie's cards are well and truly marked as she makes a loss of £20.

0:35:08 > 0:35:1125? Oh, that's ridiculous.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14That almost wipes out the profit you made earlier.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16MARGIE LAUGHS

0:35:16 > 0:35:17Oh, shh!

0:35:17 > 0:35:22Next it's David's star buy, the Royal Worcester nautilus shell

0:35:22 > 0:35:25and he's banking on this being a huge success.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28Forced to start the bidding at £38.

0:35:28 > 0:35:2940 I'm after.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32- £40, it must be elsewhere.- Eh?!

0:35:32 > 0:35:33£40...42...45...

0:35:33 > 0:35:35- There you go.- ..48...50...

0:35:35 > 0:35:36He's on the hook.

0:35:36 > 0:35:41- Can't believe it! - On my right so far, £50 bid only.

0:35:41 > 0:35:46Any more? 55, it's got a shell! Hammers going to drop at £50.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Are we finished?- Oh, £50. Oh, that is ridiculous.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52Not quite the profit David was expecting,

0:35:52 > 0:35:54giving Margie the chance to catch up.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58I'm absolutely staggered.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01Let's see if she can close the gap with the silver vase

0:36:01 > 0:36:02that David ALMOST brought.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04Lot of interest for,

0:36:04 > 0:36:06to start the bidding at...

0:36:06 > 0:36:08- £50- ..£55.

0:36:08 > 0:36:1160, I'm after, elsewhere...

0:36:11 > 0:36:13Has it stopped at 60?

0:36:13 > 0:36:15Should go for 80, should go for 80.

0:36:15 > 0:36:18..£70, gentleman on my left so far...

0:36:18 > 0:36:22- Should go for 80.- Anyone else for 75? It's going to go. All over £70.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27- Margie, that was good. - Bit disappointed.

0:36:27 > 0:36:31A silver lining for Margie and another healthy profit.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34- That's another £30!- Yes, I know, but the last lot got wiped out.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38David's set of Art Nouveau silver buttons is up next.

0:36:38 > 0:36:40They're crackers!

0:36:40 > 0:36:44£30, 32 I'm after. 32...35...38. I'm out for £40.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47- 42...45...48...- Hey!- ..No?

0:36:47 > 0:36:51- 45, I'm with the lady so far. - Oh, no!

0:36:51 > 0:36:52They're so cheap!

0:36:52 > 0:36:56£50. 55...60.

0:36:56 > 0:36:5955 in white so far. Must be 60 elsewhere.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01Somebody said, "They're so cheap."

0:37:01 > 0:37:03- 55, top of the shop... - They are cheap.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06..they've got to go!

0:37:06 > 0:37:08All bid at £55 with the gentleman?

0:37:10 > 0:37:12- It's a profit!- Well...

0:37:13 > 0:37:15- ..at least I made £10. - Well done.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18David's making small but steady profits

0:37:18 > 0:37:21but will there be enough to win him the day?

0:37:21 > 0:37:24I really am getting quite worried about the...

0:37:24 > 0:37:28- Oh, I've got these awful racehorse things now!- ..the other things I've left.

0:37:29 > 0:37:35Now for Margie's tired old horse prints but has she backed a donkey?

0:37:35 > 0:37:40- Quite a bit of interest in these. Must start the bidding at £110.- Oh!

0:37:40 > 0:37:42MARGIE LAUGHS

0:37:42 > 0:37:45110. 115 I'm after...

0:37:45 > 0:37:49- Oh, brilliant.- ..somebody has just thrown his programme down!

0:37:49 > 0:37:50115 am after.

0:37:50 > 0:37:55With me at 110. Must be 115...

0:37:55 > 0:37:57I can't BELIEVE this!

0:37:57 > 0:38:01Main commission bidder's going to take it. 115...120...125...

0:38:01 > 0:38:05- Oh, great!- With me at 120 so far. Anybody else at 125?

0:38:05 > 0:38:06Oh, that's great.

0:38:06 > 0:38:10Shout at me if I've missed you. All done at 125?

0:38:10 > 0:38:11Hammer's going to drop.

0:38:13 > 0:38:15- Sold!- Wahey!

0:38:15 > 0:38:18Racing ahead with the prints,

0:38:18 > 0:38:20the odds on Margie winning have just been slashed!

0:38:20 > 0:38:22Very good.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24I thought they were absolutely appalling!

0:38:24 > 0:38:26THEY LAUGH

0:38:26 > 0:38:29I thought they were appalling! Oh!

0:38:31 > 0:38:34Now it is David's rustic garden bench.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36Will it leave him doing cartwheels of his own?

0:38:36 > 0:38:37(Come on.)

0:38:37 > 0:38:42- Starting at the bottom. 20. - Oh, don't!- £20.

0:38:42 > 0:38:4522...25...28...£30...32...

0:38:45 > 0:38:4935...38...40...two...45...48...

0:38:49 > 0:38:5450...five...60...five...70... five...80...five...

0:38:54 > 0:38:5690...five....100.

0:38:57 > 0:39:00We'll do 105...ten.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03No, 105 so far. Substantial piece...

0:39:03 > 0:39:05Fair profit.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08..anybody else with 110? Just right for the summer...

0:39:08 > 0:39:12- Come on.- ..anybody else...? - It's lovely.- ..105...

0:39:12 > 0:39:13Well done!

0:39:14 > 0:39:17- Oh!- Oh!- Well done.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21The respectable result on the garden seat.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24Please be upstanding for Mr David Barby.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26- How much did I make on that, Margie?- No idea.

0:39:29 > 0:39:33More mock-intosh than Macintosh, it's Margie's final item,

0:39:33 > 0:39:34the oak cabinet.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37Need 28 move on. 28...£30...

0:39:37 > 0:39:3932, madam? Looking at 35, now...

0:39:39 > 0:39:44- Oh, this is a thrill. - ..35...- Good Lord!

0:39:44 > 0:39:47- Yeah, go on, just a bit more. - ..with shelves.

0:39:47 > 0:39:4835...38...£40.

0:39:48 > 0:39:52- 42. Seems cheap, this... - Made a profit.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55- 42.- ..42, new bid, 45.- Yes!

0:39:55 > 0:39:58- 48...50... - Oh, it's a sweet little thing.

0:39:58 > 0:40:01Untidy figure, let's have a half-century...

0:40:01 > 0:40:02MARGIE LAUGHS

0:40:02 > 0:40:03- Yeah, it's going.- ..60 now...

0:40:03 > 0:40:06- Oh, I planned it like this! - 55 in stripes.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08At £55, are we done?

0:40:08 > 0:40:10Oh, bless it.

0:40:10 > 0:40:13I really liked that. I don't care.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15- It's made a profit. - It's made a profit.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18Which puts Margie on course for her first victory.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21- I doubted that it would... - I know you would, I know you did.

0:40:21 > 0:40:25Right on cue, it's the snooker scoreboard.

0:40:25 > 0:40:29David needs a big break on this if he's going to defeat Margie.

0:40:29 > 0:40:34Quite a bit of interest in this, forced to start the bid at £130.

0:40:34 > 0:40:38135, I'm looking out to move on. 135 and were looking elsewhere.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40135...140...145...

0:40:40 > 0:40:43But it's a slow starter.

0:40:43 > 0:40:44(You're in profit.)

0:40:44 > 0:40:46..170...

0:40:46 > 0:40:48160 so far...

0:40:48 > 0:40:52170...180...190...

0:40:52 > 0:40:55200...210.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57(Yeah, got people that it.)

0:40:57 > 0:40:58You can relax now, David.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00- ..230...240...- Look at this.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02..250...260...

0:41:02 > 0:41:04He's potted the black.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06- ..270. - THEY GASP

0:41:06 > 0:41:11- 260 on the phone. So far at 260. Needs to be to 70...- Come on.

0:41:11 > 0:41:12- We need a bigger break...- We do!

0:41:12 > 0:41:15- Shh!- 270, new bid.

0:41:15 > 0:41:18- 280...- (Come on.)

0:41:18 > 0:41:21- 290...300...- Just thought I was getting ahead.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23310...320...

0:41:23 > 0:41:27I told you Sheffield was the centre of snooker!

0:41:27 > 0:41:31- ..on the phone so far. I need 330 to move on.- Yes.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35- (Shut up, you!) - We need a yes from somebody else.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37- DAVID LAUGHS - Shut your mouth!

0:41:37 > 0:41:40320 bit so far. Hammer's going to drop!

0:41:40 > 0:41:42All done, are we, at 320?

0:41:42 > 0:41:44With the board of snooker...

0:41:44 > 0:41:46You have raced ahead.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50- Well done, home of snooker, told you.- Oh!

0:41:50 > 0:41:51Well done.

0:41:51 > 0:41:57Look at that, top marks the David as he pockets the princely sum of £170.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59Well, thank goodness.

0:41:59 > 0:42:03- I almost wiped my face on that! - What an interesting sale.

0:42:03 > 0:42:07I think I need something quite strong.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10- I'll for an orange juice, come on then.- Yeah, come on but well done!

0:42:12 > 0:42:17Margie started today's show with £294.40

0:42:17 > 0:42:21and after auction costs she's made a profit of £79.40,

0:42:21 > 0:42:26increasing her spending power for the next round to £373.80.

0:42:31 > 0:42:36David started with £485.60 but even after the costs

0:42:36 > 0:42:39he has made a profit of £137.84,

0:42:39 > 0:42:45increasing his stash of cash to a mighty £623.44,

0:42:45 > 0:42:48claiming his third victory in a row.

0:42:50 > 0:42:55- So, it is well done to you again! - And well done to you, Margie.

0:42:55 > 0:42:58Quite good, nice to be in a, sort of, winning situation, isn't it?

0:42:58 > 0:43:01Well, it is. Even if you are in a more winning situation than me!

0:43:01 > 0:43:04- I thought I'd got you! - I thought you had, as well.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06I was worried when those pictures went up for sale

0:43:06 > 0:43:09because I thought they were so dreadful.

0:43:09 > 0:43:12- I really thought they were so dreadful.- How dare you?!

0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Where are we off to now? - Some more shopping.

0:43:14 > 0:43:17And what are we going to buy?

0:43:17 > 0:43:19Find out next time on the Antiques Road Trip,

0:43:19 > 0:43:21when Margie gets musical...

0:43:21 > 0:43:24PIANO MUSIC PLAYING

0:43:25 > 0:43:27..and David gets lucky.

0:43:27 > 0:43:30Two, you said.

0:43:30 > 0:43:32- That's the best bit! - THEY LAUGH
