0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each,
0:00:05 > 0:00:09a classic car and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11That hurts.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13My sap is rising.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Could you do 50 quid on that?
0:00:22 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Your steering is a bit lamentable!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:36 > 0:00:38This week, we start a brand-new chapter
0:00:38 > 0:00:43with the raffish duo of James Braxton and Charles Hanson.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Put it on, James! Now I feel so much warmer.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51HORN BEEPS
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Auctioneer James Braxton has a wealth of experience
0:00:53 > 0:00:57in the world of antiques, but his exquisite taste
0:00:57 > 0:01:00sometimes means the price tags don't quite match his budget.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- Is that near 100? - I'd like to get about two.- Right.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07And of course, he's a charmer with the ladies.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Can I show it to you?- Yes, fine.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17But hot on James's heels is an ever over-excitable young auctioneer,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Charles Hanson.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I'm so nervous I need the toilet!
0:01:22 > 0:01:27He has a great strategy for buying - that's if he can find a shop!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30I'll go into this first day relaxed and content
0:01:30 > 0:01:32and just let the objects come to me.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Well, hopefully he'll find some shops.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38It never hurts to be ambitious, but first things first, eh?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Our chaps begin their adventure
0:01:43 > 0:01:46with £200 each and the open road in front of them
0:01:46 > 0:01:49and their automobile of choice for this week's trip
0:01:49 > 0:01:51is James's beloved 1952 MG.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54She's clocked up a good few miles,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58but she's a trusty old thing...sometimes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I think she's wrapped up here. Come on! Get moving!
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Dear, oh, dear! - Dear, oh, dear indeed.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08James and Charles will travel
0:02:08 > 0:02:13380 miles from Dulverton, West Somerset, via the Isle of Wight
0:02:13 > 0:02:16and make their way to Truro, in glorious Cornwall.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19But this is day one of the trip.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24We begin our shopping mission in the idyllic location of Dulverton
0:02:24 > 0:02:26and will auction over 55 miles away
0:02:26 > 0:02:29in Crewkerne in the county of Somerset.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Dulverton is a pretty little town near Devon.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38The bridge is thought to date back to 1,000 BC,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40although according to folklore,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43the devil had a hand in building this bridge.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48So, without any further ado, let's catch up with our own devilish duo.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Ride her in, James, ride her in. - Here we are.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- I'm slightly worried about the brakes.- Ride her in. That's OK.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- James, this is it. - The start of our road trip!
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Exactly, but don't you feel it's almost too serene around here
0:03:04 > 0:03:06to really generate those big returns?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Oh, come on, you're the catalyst -
0:03:08 > 0:03:11you can bring some energy to this part of the world.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- You think so?- Yeah, definitely.- OK!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19And off we jolly well go.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Let's start off with old James Braxton.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24First stop is a visit to Anthony Sampson.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Are you going to go in there? - Am I going in there? - Are you going in there?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Good luck.- Good luck. - I'm going this way.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- Get me some clotted cream. - I will do. Bye!
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Is this the door?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Hello.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- I love your six plank coffer. It's so lovely.- Isn't it a super one?- Yeah.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45- So, still very nice, high ends, aren't they?- Yes.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Particularly interesting, there's a little notch on the front.
0:03:49 > 0:03:55- And is that very expensive?- Well, it's just under £1,000, it's £950.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56It's lovely.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Yes, it is lovely but also completely out of your budget.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Now, let's see if we can buy something, Anthony.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05What's this fellow?
0:04:05 > 0:04:11Yes, well, this I think is, what, late 1890, 1900.
0:04:11 > 0:04:17- So, how much have you got on that fellow?- That is 495.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Crumbs! Maybe it's time to cut your losses?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Thank you very much indeed, Anthony. - Bye, now.- Bye.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26The Braxton instinct is kicking in.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28From one to the other, walk!
0:04:28 > 0:04:32And not only that, everything's half-price!
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Hello.- Hello there.- Hello.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38So here am I, looking at a Lionel Edwards.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I presume it's a print, it must be a print at this price.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Early Lionel Edwards print, £220.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I'll see whether that can be bought cheaply.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Hold onto your horses, looks like James is going to go for a buy.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Is it half of this?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00So 220, 110.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I don't even know that the half price is set in stone.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08The owner of the print needs to be called,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10so Liz asks for an offer.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14I'd offer him £45 for it.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- OK.- OK?- Let's see.- Let's see.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Hello, Max, it's me again.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26We've had an offer for one of the pictures.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31It's Carol's - the big Lionel Edwards print,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33the triptych that's on the stairs.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35OK, fine, right, OK.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Right. Thanks, bye, bye.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Maybe £100, but no lower than that. - No, that's fine, that's fine.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Anyway, Liz, thank you very much indeed.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Oh, well. Onwards and upwards, James.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Let's catch up with Charles. Let the dog see the rabbit.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Charles is having a good old nosy in Acorn Antiques with owner, Peter,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01and he's spotted something straightaway.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04This is in my budget
0:06:04 > 0:06:07and of course, what I think we have here is a biscuit tin, don't we?
0:06:07 > 0:06:13- Yes, Huntley & Palmers.- That's it, Huntley & Palmers biscuit tin.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Actually, it's very nice condition.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19We've got Huntley & Palmers Biscuits marked on the base here,
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Reading and London,
0:06:20 > 0:06:24and of course by lifting up this section here,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27you open up to take out a biscuit
0:06:27 > 0:06:30and this biscuit tin would date to around 1910?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Yes.- Thereabouts.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Nice biscuit tin. It could be yours for £110?- Yes.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Are you open to negotiation, sir, or is it a normal 10%?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Call it £80?- £80?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- They're very collectable. - Yeah, they are collectable, I agree.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I'm getting £30 off, you know, what a discount!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52And I can't really argue with that,
0:06:52 > 0:06:57but I think at auction on a really bad day, it might only make £50.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Sounds too much of a risk for young Charles.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05You've got me going, sir. I appreciate it, you've got me going.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Oh, no deal!
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Seems the chaps are reluctant to part with their pennies.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Empty-handed, the boys head off to pastures new,
0:07:17 > 0:07:21to the delightful village of Williton in West Somerset.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25You know, you get a man of the South, you know, a great southern...
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Oh, my, look at the water!- Oh!
0:07:28 > 0:07:33- All we need is a lorry.- God! - It has RAINED here.- Wow!
0:07:33 > 0:07:38As you can see, driving in James's vintage car without a roof
0:07:38 > 0:07:41is a bit of a challenge when it's raining - the skinflint!
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- I'm going shopping.- I think you want to get into the warm.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- James, I'm drenched. Look at me! - Well, good luck.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I've got to now go and try and find some superior antique...
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- Hope you find something. - ..looking like a drowned rat!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Charles is going for a good old rummage around West Somerset Antiques.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Tim is the owner, great name,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10and will hopefully point young Charles in the right direction.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Something Somerset, yes...
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- All I can think of is things like cheese and cream and...- Cider jars.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Exactly! Exactly. Thanks very much.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22What I'll do, I'll have a wander round.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30I want to start big because I want to set the standard for James.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34He's having a really good sniff around, literally!
0:08:40 > 0:08:46This is quite a nice box, because I can feel in its tactile nature
0:08:46 > 0:08:48and in the way it's been carved,
0:08:48 > 0:08:53this box no doubt is probably circa 1880, 1890,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55probably some type of walnut.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Octagonal outline,
0:08:57 > 0:09:01with this interesting Manxman, Isle of Man type of design.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- How much, Tim? - £25, I'm asking for that.- £25.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08And your very best price, Tim?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- £20.- £20.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Has it been here a while? - No, it hasn't.- No good?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Well, it's going, it's going. It's gone. I'll take it, Tim. Superb.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Thank you very much.- First purchase.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25All I can say is thank goodness one of our dynamic duo has started buying!
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Tim, how much is the nice chest of drawers in here?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- The fine bow-fronted...?- Yes.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Tim, that's a good little Georgian bureau, sorry,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Georgian chest of drawers, spare handle...
0:09:38 > 0:09:41There's one for the corner over there.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46In its current condition, £120.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51- Best price? One best price? - 100 quid.- 100 quid.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52You couldn't go wrong with that.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- They often say proportions are everything.- Yes...
0:09:58 > 0:09:59You look at the body...
0:09:59 > 0:10:01He's quite an excitable fellow, you know.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04It's got two good top drawers.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08For pity's sake! It's a chest of drawers, Charles!
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- And then a body of three long drawers.- Oh, blimey!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Oh, dear, Tim, you've put me into a quandary now.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20You're a good man, £100.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- £100 is the best price? - It is.- Very tempting.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30Tim, I like it very, very much and I think at £100, it's going once.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- Best price, Tim, £100?- It is. - Look at me, £100, yes?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- It is.- All right, OK. Tim, I'll take it.- Marvellous.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Good man. Thanks, Tim. - Thank you very much.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Charles is definitely in the mood for buying.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45James, however, is having a bad day on the buying front,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47but he's not worried.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50He's travelled a solitary mile to Washford
0:10:50 > 0:10:52to find out more about the history of the wireless.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57It's a bit of a bumpy arrival.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Whoopsie! Watch out for the suspension, James.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10The Washford Radio Museum
0:11:10 > 0:11:14is owned by lifelong radio collector, Neil Wilson.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21In the early '90s, Neil purchased this 1933 BBC transmitting station
0:11:21 > 0:11:23to house his collection of all things radio.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Neil is going to show James around.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Now this is an amazing place.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33What do we have here?
0:11:33 > 0:11:38Right, it's basically a museum to celebrate the...
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Well, the BBC and early broadcasting.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Principally, radio broadcasting rather than television.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Because this was a BBC transmitting station,
0:11:48 > 0:11:52I decided to set this museum up.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Over the years, Neil's passion for radio has resulted in
0:11:58 > 0:12:02a museum that is crammed full of some real radio gems.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08In the early days of radio, it was a rather different world,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10with large valves and cumbersome equipment.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17We begin with one of the great radio landmarks.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19So, what do you have here, Neil?
0:12:19 > 0:12:26Well, this is various information that was issued to engineers
0:12:26 > 0:12:30at the time of the Queen's coronation in 1953.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35All the various plans and positions for everything.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38This was, at the time,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42the biggest outside broadcast that the BBC had ever attempted.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46The sheer amount of wires needed for this event
0:12:46 > 0:12:49was displayed here like a road map.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55The documents show the monumental BBC operation involved
0:12:55 > 0:12:58in bringing the coronation into the homes of the British public.
0:12:58 > 0:13:05Somewhere in here, there is a script of the day itself.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Oh, the running order?- Yep.- Goodness.
0:13:08 > 0:13:14That's it, starting there at 10.15 in the morning. "This is London."
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Oh, I see, the script.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18And each place would have this
0:13:18 > 0:13:20and this would be your broadcasting cue, would it?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Yes, so here we go, Wynford Vaughan-Thomas
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and it just says what he was going to do.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30As Princess Elizabeth made her way to Westminster,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33every detail was planned with precision
0:13:33 > 0:13:37right down to every word of the commentary.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39How interesting.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Also in the collection
0:13:41 > 0:13:43is a unique recording with a royal connection
0:13:43 > 0:13:46which has never been broadcast.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49One that I've got here is actually,
0:13:49 > 0:13:55was made during a royal visit to Broadcasting House in 1939.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Really?
0:13:58 > 0:14:04And they actually demonstrated how recordings were made.
0:14:04 > 0:14:11So, the Royal family spoke into the recorder and this was the result.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23STATIC CRACKLES
0:14:23 > 0:14:26'We've had a very interesting afternoon in here.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27'We heard all the noises.'
0:14:42 > 0:14:45So the voices we heard, Neil, who were they?
0:14:45 > 0:14:51Well, they would have been the Queen Mother, King George VI
0:14:51 > 0:14:53and the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56It's extraordinarily rare,
0:14:56 > 0:15:00I've never heard it anywhere other than from this disc.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Hang onto it!- Yes.- Well, thank you very much indeed, Neil.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06It's been a fascinating tour.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I'm slightly the wiser about transmitted airwaves.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- Anyway, you promised me some cake. - Indeed, yes.- Where is it?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Go on, lead on!- Righto!
0:15:18 > 0:15:20'And it only remains for me to say,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23'for I don't know how many times, good luck.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25'Here we go.'
0:15:25 > 0:15:29# We've sung about the soldiers and sailors on the sea... #
0:15:31 > 0:15:36Back in Williton, Charles is still in the antique shop
0:15:36 > 0:15:38and is in haggling mode.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42And he's found an old cello, priced at £60.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Tim, this cello, tell me about it.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Well, I think again,
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- you like something with a challenge, don't you?- Yes, I do.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56- This is in need of a bit of... I don't play, unfortunately.- No.
0:15:56 > 0:16:02- But, yeah.- Where did it come from? How old is it?- I guess it's...
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Whoopsie daisy!
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- How old is it, Tim?- It's got to be 70, 80 years old at least.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Has it been here a while?- Oh, yes!
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- It's not been here that long.- No...
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- It's quite tired, isn't it?- It is.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Somebody will love it.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22HE KNOCKS CELLO
0:16:22 > 0:16:26If I said to you without anything going into it,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29what would be the best price to take it away, what would you say?
0:16:31 > 0:16:32- £30.- £30.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I'll be cheeky for the first time.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41I'll take it away, Tim, and pay you £20
0:16:41 > 0:16:44and take a complete haphazard guess
0:16:44 > 0:16:46on that it might make me a bit of money.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- 25, you've got a deal. - £25, we'll meet halfway.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Do you know what, Tim?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I've never before in my life bought three items in a row in one shop
0:16:55 > 0:16:58and at £25, I will do.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01£25, it's a jump in the dark.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04What I do know is it's quite an exciting cello
0:17:04 > 0:17:06that might have some legs.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Never mind its legs,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10we want to find out whether it's got any notes in it!
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Good deal, though.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14We'll find out whether it's been an savvy buy over at the auction.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Nice old dusty box, here.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27It's actually quite nicely made, lined in mahogany.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31We've just got a whole array of tools in this box
0:17:31 > 0:17:32on different tiers.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40And it looks as though it's really never, ever...
0:17:44 > 0:17:48been emptied and sorted.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57There are lots and lots of tools.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00And again, I'm no DIY expert, I'm no tool man.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04My wife will tell you, when it comes to DIY and fixing things,
0:18:04 > 0:18:05I can't do it very well.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Never(!)
0:18:07 > 0:18:10It's pine and then ebonised and on the front,
0:18:10 > 0:18:16obviously somebody over the years has repainted maybe their name,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18"H Dipper."
0:18:18 > 0:18:21H Dipper, who was H Dipper? Harry Dipper? Henry Dipper?
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- We don't know. Tim?- Yes. - What is your price?
0:18:26 > 0:18:32Well, I've been asking £50 for the chest and £40 for its contents.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36So you're really asking about 90, and I'm saying to you Tim,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39look, clear me out, wash me out,
0:18:39 > 0:18:43here's my £55 leftover and you'll have my entire budget
0:18:43 > 0:18:46for my first Antiques Road Trip with James.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49If I go down, Tim, we go down together, OK?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Well, I can only ask to take every last penny, can't I?
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- So, yep, you've got yourself a deal. - Fantastic. OK, that's great. Thanks.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Thank you very much.- Superb. Can't believe it. £55.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Well, he started at a gentle trot
0:19:02 > 0:19:06then bolted into a hearty gallop and blew his budget.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Thanks, Tim, all the best!
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Well, that's it.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I'm shopped out, I've bought four fantastic items
0:19:14 > 0:19:17and I feel like dancing in the rain.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Nutter!
0:19:24 > 0:19:27It's time for James and Charles to get a good night's sleep.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Nighty night!
0:19:32 > 0:19:36It's a brand-new day and the boys are up bright and early,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39but Charles is in a very laid-back mood.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Shall we have a quick game of tennis?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42No, I think we'll leave that.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Got plenty of time. Shall we go walk on the beach?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46You may have plenty of time, but funny enough,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I've got to do some shopping.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51So far, James seems to have forgotten the name of the game
0:19:51 > 0:19:56and has spent a big fat nothing on absolutely zero items.
0:19:57 > 0:20:03He's got everything to play for and still has an untouched sum of £200.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Charles, meanwhile, seemed to be rather unwilling to part with his cash
0:20:09 > 0:20:13until he decided to blow the whole sum and total
0:20:13 > 0:20:15on the Victorian octagonal box,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17the bow fronted chest of drawers,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19the battered cello
0:20:19 > 0:20:22and the large Victorian toolbox.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24No more shopping for Charles, then.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30The boys spent the night in the village of Braunton, North Devon,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32where my parents lived.
0:20:32 > 0:20:38Naughty shirker James is on a jaunt to the coastal resort of Combe Martin. Beautiful!
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Combe Martin has the Guinness World Record
0:20:40 > 0:20:43for the world's longest street party.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45James is also a record breaker
0:20:45 > 0:20:48for failing to buy a single item by the end of his first day.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55Look at that! Hey, who wants a swim and a hill climb?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57We don't want you taking your kit off again, James.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Put your foot down and start buying, pronto!
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Sherbrook Selectables is Mr Braxton's first port of call.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- Hello, James.- Good to meet you. - Very pleased to meet you. Trevor.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Trevor, very nice to meet you, Trevor.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Now, may I have a look round? - You certainly can.- Thank you.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24It would be a pretty poor show if I couldn't find something, wouldn't it?
0:21:24 > 0:21:29That's a very splendid canteen, that, isn't it?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Art Deco, yes. It's an Art Deco box.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35I think it dates to around the late '20s, early '30s.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39This canteen was made by James Dixon & Sons.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44Founded in 1806, they were one of the foremost names in silver plate
0:21:44 > 0:21:46and sterling silver tableware.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48And is it complete, Trevor?
0:21:48 > 0:21:53No, unfortunately we have the one carving fork missing.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Everything else seems to be there. - So, that's that one.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I'm sure there's more. What else have we got here?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01This is rather interesting, can you tell me about this, Trevor?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Orrefors.- Orrefors?
0:22:04 > 0:22:10- That's Swedish. - Swedish, Orrefors, about 1950.- Yep.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Hand cut and signed on the bottom.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Just a nice piece of heavy Swedish glass.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18It is, isn't it? Can I feel? Oh, it is heavy, isn't it?
0:22:18 > 0:22:23And that hasn't been ground down. That looks good and feels good.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Nicely engraved and then frosted.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31- Could you do £50 on that?- No problem.
0:22:31 > 0:22:37That's very kind. Thank you very much indeed, Treasure. Treasure!
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Trevor! You treasure!- Later!
0:22:40 > 0:22:42THEY LAUGH
0:22:42 > 0:22:46I can't believe this! I'm falling to my knees.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52God bless you, Combe Martin, because I have finally bought something!
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Hallelujah! Big Brackers is off the starting block.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Right, Trevor, the thing I looked at earlier,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02now I've got the first one under the belt,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05would you take £50 on that?
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- Yeah, I think we wouldn't have a problem there.- You're a lovely man.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11God bless Combe Martin again and thank you, Trevor.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13You're very welcome.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Looks like the Braxton magic is returning.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Long may it continue!
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Back to Charles in Braunton.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24The area boasts beautiful golden beaches
0:23:24 > 0:23:29that attract surfer dudes from all over the world.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33So, it makes perfect sense to have a museum here telling the history of surfing.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36# Everybody's gone surfin'
0:23:36 > 0:23:39# Surfin' USA
0:23:39 > 0:23:42# Everybody's gone surfin'
0:23:42 > 0:23:44# Surfin' USA... #
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Charles is going to find out more from the curator, Peter Robinson.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Most people think of surfers as a 1960s craze
0:23:53 > 0:23:56where tanned young men in California took to the waves,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59but in fact it goes back much, much further.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03It's thought that surfing goes back potentially thousands of years.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07There's even been cave drawings found in Hawaii
0:24:07 > 0:24:09of people standing up on surfboards.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12It was certainly a very developed board sport by the time
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Captain Cook arrived in Hawaii in 1779
0:24:15 > 0:24:18and started to write about surfing.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26So what's in here, Peter?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Well, in this cabinet you've got the earliest known drawing
0:24:29 > 0:24:32of someone standing up on a wave.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36It was first published in 1851 by the Reverend William Ellis.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40It's an image that's now known globally in surfing history
0:24:40 > 0:24:43as being really an iconic moment.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I think because of the morals of the time, he's put a loincloth on there.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- The reality is, they probably would have been naked.- Of course.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54This is one of the earliest British surfboards.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58It dates from just after the First World War and is made of solid wood.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01It was ridden by a guy called Nigel Oxenden,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03who himself was a fascinating character.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06He won the Military Cross in the First World War as a major.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08He went over to Hawaii and learnt how to surf
0:25:08 > 0:25:12and then established the Island Surf Club of Jersey in 1923,
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Europe's first surf club.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16This was the board he used.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20He'd ride it prone, rather like a boogie board today.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22He was a remarkable character
0:25:22 > 0:25:25and really the key linchpin of British surfing.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27So from the early days.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30This board, to me Peter, looks as though, goodness me,
0:25:30 > 0:25:32let's say a big breaker hit me on the head,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35this sort of board could cause me some damage.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Oh, it would cause you a lot of damage, and if you move on to something like this,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42this is the type of board that Edward VIII,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44who was at the time the Prince of Wales,
0:25:44 > 0:25:49would have ridden in Hawaii in 1920. It weighs around about 100lbs.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52# Fun, fun, fun Now that daddy took the T-bird away
0:25:52 > 0:25:53# Fun fun fun
0:25:53 > 0:25:55# Now that Daddy took the T-bird away... #
0:25:55 > 0:26:00This has to be my favourite board in the entire collection.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04We've got more than 200 surfboards in the museum's collection.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08It was made here in Braunton in 1968 and the bottom of it is actually
0:26:08 > 0:26:13a roll of paisley pyjama cloth that's been laminated under the fibreglass.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18Not only is it iconically British, it's a fantastic board to ride.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Is it really?- Yes, it's superb.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23It captures the essence, I suppose, Peter,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25it captures the essence of the '60s
0:26:25 > 0:26:28and was that when surfing was really coming out?
0:26:28 > 0:26:33It's kind of when modern surfing culture as we know it today was born,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36in the late '50s and early 1960s,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39and this really does embody that era of flower power
0:26:39 > 0:26:43and a very free-spirited life on the beach.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48Surfing was, in its modern form, was in its infancy at that time.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Certainly in the UK.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53And what a better thing to be walking down the beach with than that?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55It's an object of great beauty.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- And it's becoming cooler and cooler, hey?- Absolutely.- Looks that way.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00# Fun, fun, fun
0:27:00 > 0:27:02# Now that Daddy took the T-bird away. #
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Cool Charles is simply having too much fun. Let's catch up with James.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13James has travelled nearly 80 miles south, to the tiny village of Hele,
0:27:13 > 0:27:17in Devon, where local legends abound of smugglers and shipwrecks.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Time's running out, James.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24We'll have you walking the plank
0:27:24 > 0:27:27if you don't buck up and buy some more antiques!
0:27:29 > 0:27:31A cathedral of antiques.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Hello. James.- I'm Chris.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Hopefully, shop owner Chris can help James in his shopping mission.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- Can I have a quick rove around?- Sure.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43And then can I grab you and take you round the items?
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Not a problem.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Meanwhile, Charles has finished shopping
0:27:49 > 0:27:52and with the beautiful Devon sunshine,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54could he be actually going for a surf?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56# We have all the time... #
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Don't be silly!
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Look, he hasn't even taken his jacket off.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Back to James. He's found a lady.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10This lady here fascinates me, Chris.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- She's not pretty, is she? - She isn't pretty, she isn't pretty.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It's one of the finest noses I've seen, really.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- It's a great nose, isn't it? - Yeah, yeah. It's certainly a beak.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23It is a beaky nose, I can see.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I can see great austerity
0:28:25 > 0:28:28and a lovely element of severeness about her.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32- Pecked to death! - I think she'd be doing the pecking.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35That's what I mean!
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Could that be cheap?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Like cheap, cheap, 20 quid cheap?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Hmm...
0:28:42 > 0:28:46It did have a... Yeah, I could do it for 30.
0:28:46 > 0:28:4830, OK.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53What about the opaline glass?
0:28:53 > 0:28:54This shiny looking globe
0:28:54 > 0:28:58would have originally been used as a light fitting.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- That could be 20. - That could be 20?- Yeah.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- So, a crisp £50.- A crisp £50.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14Crisp £50. Chris you've got a crisp one. Thank you very much indeed.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16- Best of luck with it.- Really kind.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Quite a good deal there, James.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22The original price on the painting was £55 and the globe was 28.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28The sun has disappeared, so Charles is joining James
0:29:28 > 0:29:32to have a good old gander at each other's purchases.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37- Here you are, young man. - Oh, good health!- Get that down you.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41- What is it?- Somerset organic cider. - Really? Alcoholic?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- I would imagine so, it's come from Somerset!- Good health, cheers.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Oh, Charles, do you think that's a good idea?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Well, are you ready?
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- Three, two, one.- Hurray! - Hold on, hold on, hold on!
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- Look, there! My wonderful items! - Look at them!
0:29:57 > 0:30:02So, you've bought three items, or am I missing something? Hey!
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- What a lovely cello!- Exactly. - Is that a full-size cello?
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- Now, half size, I think.- Half size. - Half size. So I bought...
0:30:11 > 0:30:15..four items - one, two, three, four.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19You haven't just bought for items, you've bought the contents of a home!
0:30:19 > 0:30:22James, I'm knocking on wood, OK?
0:30:22 > 0:30:24I'm knocking on wood to give me a profit at auction.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Well, I like your chest. - Thank you very much.- Great.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- Thank you very much.- Yeah, yeah! A lovely bay front.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- Nice splayed legs, I think that's a winner.- Yeah?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- Now, what is that on top? - This is a lovely box.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- Look at the quality. It's a nice box.- That's lovely.- Isn't it?
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- A sort of soap dish, isn't it, really?- Or powder box. How much?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- £30?- £20.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Winner, winner.- Like it? Like it?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Winner.- OK.- Don't like the trunk particularly.- Eh? Why not?
0:30:51 > 0:30:55James, sometimes the beauty is within. Let me sell it to you.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Look at the inside, James. Look.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03- I've got a whole array of tools. - You've got a carpenter's box.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Look, look at that. - You have got a winner!
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- Like it?- How much? Nothing.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13- £50.- £55.- That is going to make good money.- Think so?
0:31:13 > 0:31:18- You're going to make 150, £200. - Are you being serious?- Yes.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20- And the cello? - I think it's very nice.
0:31:20 > 0:31:28I love the over-engineered of the...whatever they're called.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29It's called a scroll, James.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- It cost me £25.- Cheap. - You think so?- Very cheap.- Great.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37It's James's turn now. Show us what you've got.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Ready, steady, small goods.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- These feel slightly inconsequential in comparison...- Get out of here!
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- ..to your mighty items. - Oh, I like, I like!
0:31:47 > 0:31:49- Here's the first one.- Yes.
0:31:49 > 0:31:55- OK.- Missing one item.- Yes. - The fork.- OK, erm...
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Hmm, I don't think he likes it.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01James, what I tend to say is that the fashion for the old canteen
0:32:01 > 0:32:04is slightly out of vogue, you know?
0:32:04 > 0:32:07I like it, but I don't like it that much.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11- What do you think of my severe lady? - Um... Well, James...
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Don't say oil painting. You were going to say oil painting there.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16She's got a certain...
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Is that a bird dropping there, or is that just paint?
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- Just a bird dropping. - It is, OK. I thought it was.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24- £30.- I think, James, you probably can't go wrong at £30,
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- but I wouldn't buy it.- OK.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- Vase?- Yeah?- Orrefors.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- Yeah, love it.- Signed on the bottom. - Yeah, yeah.- And intact.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38- Again, not for me.- Not for you? - Not for me. Sorry, buddy.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- Last one.- Yeah?- Don't touch it.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- Why not?- Oh, you can. Feel the weight.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Thanks. Oh, yeah, I like it. Yeah, I like it. Yeah.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48What is it, exactly?
0:32:48 > 0:32:51I think it's a glass shade, so you would have had a collar round there.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- Is it a vase?- No.
0:32:53 > 0:32:58What I like so much is I've gone for the very boring, traditional
0:32:58 > 0:33:03patinated furniture and you've gone for almost the 20th century.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- You've gone collectable, I've gone antique.- I know.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09And I'm the young one and you're the older one, right?
0:33:09 > 0:33:13So, let's hear what our chaps really think.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18The weakest item was his chest of drawers. The biggest was the weakest.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20But the funny thing was how yin and yang we were.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23But he's bought some cracking items.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25He's going to make some serious money.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29Do you know what? I think he's panic bought
0:33:29 > 0:33:32and I think his panic buys might be in trouble.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40It's time to get the big wheels moving.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42And go!
0:33:46 > 0:33:48It's been a cracking first leg.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51We began our journey in Dulverton, travelling via Williton,
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Washford, Braunton, Combe Martin, Hele - Phew! -
0:33:55 > 0:34:01and finally arriving in Somerset's fine town of Crewkerne.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05The town has a long and ancient history
0:34:05 > 0:34:07including status as a Saxon royal mint,
0:34:07 > 0:34:11and it's a jolly lovely place to stop off on your travels.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19It's auction day as our two experts roll into town.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Thank you ever so much, mate, for letting me borrow your hat.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- Best of luck for this one. - Yep, yep, yep. Hope we like photo.
0:34:27 > 0:34:32Lawrence's of Crewkerne have been trading fine wares for over 50 years
0:34:32 > 0:34:35and sell everything from dolls to diamonds.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Richard Kay is today's auctioneer
0:34:40 > 0:34:44and has a few thoughts on James and Charles's purchases.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Being principally a picture specialist here,
0:34:46 > 0:34:47the portrait caught my eye.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50I'm not sure I'd want to live with her but she's intriguing.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Somebody at some point will identify who it's by and even who it's of.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57I think the one that puts me off more than any other is the cello,
0:34:57 > 0:35:00which sits rather forlornly in the corner at the moment
0:35:00 > 0:35:03and doesn't look as though it's loaded with commercial potential.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08James Braxton started the day with his full allowance of £200
0:35:08 > 0:35:11and spent a proud £150 on four auction lots.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19Charles Hanson took his £200 starter pack and threw caution to the wind.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23He blew the full £200 on four auction lots.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28And remember, the auction house takes a commission off the selling price.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32All quiet, please! The auction is about to begin.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36You know, I'm feeling slightly in awe of you today.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- You're looking so smart. - First day on.
0:35:39 > 0:35:45- You know, this is a serious... - This is my new navy blue flannel.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47This flannel is six years old, it's Irish,
0:35:47 > 0:35:49and it feels second-hand today compared to you.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Enough about the togs, boys.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57First up is Charles's full-bodied chest of drawers.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Bids here start me at £70. £70 I have.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- Come on, let's move. - At £70, 75, 80. 85, now.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- On my left, I'm selling at 85 in the room.- A little more.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- At £85.- Come on! Surely a little bit more than that?
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Are we done at 85? Last time.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13There's something rather final about a hammer coming down.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15I've lost £15. Bad start, James.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17No, but you've everything to play for.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- You are going to take this leg.- I've learned, though, it's all about...
0:36:21 > 0:36:22Don't be too clever at the start.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26Hanson, take the thing steady, OK? You know.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29It's a loss, but Charles knows it's early doors.
0:36:31 > 0:36:37Next we have another from Charles. It's the Victorian octagonal box.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Let's see if it can make a profit.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43Bids start me here at £30 on this lot. £30 is bid.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- On commission at £30. - Come on! Let's keep going!
0:36:46 > 0:36:50All done? I'm selling, then, £30, absentee bid. Last time.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51That's good, that's £10 profit.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- That's good.- I'm delighted. - You can't argue with that.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58So, I'm five pounds down, that's good.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59A tenner's a tenner
0:36:59 > 0:37:03and the young pretender is full of smiles and optimism.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09It's James's oil painting next.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Steady, steady!
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Start me here at £20 on this one. £20 for it.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16£20 anywhere?
0:37:16 > 0:37:20£10, then. £10? 12, 15.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- No? 15 on my far left. I'm selling at 15. 18 now.- Come on.
0:37:24 > 0:37:3020. 25, 30. Five, 40. Five, 50.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32£50, on my far left.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- That's good.- Selling at 50, then.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36Last time at £50, all done?
0:37:36 > 0:37:41- Well done.- Thank you. - Well played, skipper. Well played.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- Well played.- That's good, isn't it?- I'm in there.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Steady work, steady work.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47I'm in the driving seat.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50An excellent start for James.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Let's hope the profits keep steady and consistent.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58It's Charles's battered cello next.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59If this goes wrong,
0:37:59 > 0:38:02things are looking a bit slippery for you, I would say.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04I thought that chest was a winner.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- And closed bids, here, £30, I must. - Yes!
0:38:06 > 0:38:1135, is bid. 40 now. 45. 50, five. 60, five.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- 70, five.- Don't say, it Hanson.
0:38:14 > 0:38:1890, five. 100, and 10. 120.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- It's 120, on my far right at £120. - Jim, it's a massive profit!
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- I'm selling at £120.- Going, going...
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- For the last time.- Gone! Yes!
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Superb, I'm back in business.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- That was a storming result. - Wasn't that wonderful, eh?
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- Well done.- I'm back in business. You were right, it was a banker.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43It may have been old and battered but it's music to Charles's ears.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52It's James's Swedish vase next. Could it swing him into the lead?
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Good luck, mate.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Interest here. Bids start me at 55, £60 is bid.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- My God!- £60 is bid.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03At £60, on commission. I'll sell at 60. It's against you in the room.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06At £60, for the last time. All done.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Great, profit! Profit!
0:39:08 > 0:39:12- You're flying. - I've got to pay commission on that.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Can't grumble, eh? You're warming up, you're warming up.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Hold on, nine quid, I've made £1 profit out of that!
0:39:18 > 0:39:21You're warming up. It was a profit, OK?
0:39:21 > 0:39:25It's a small profit but it's not enough to put him in front.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31Lot 265 is a large opaline glass light globe
0:39:31 > 0:39:33being held up for you there.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36£20 for it? £20 for this? At £20 anywhere?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- £10, then?- He's got it. - 10 is bid.- He's got it.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Maiden bid at 10. I'll sell at 10 if you're all done?
0:39:41 > 0:39:45- Come on!- At £10.- Oh, come on! One more!- At £10. All done.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- Oh, cheap.- Oh dear, that was cheap, wasn't it?
0:39:47 > 0:39:52It's your first loss, James. Keep strong, old man.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Next up, it's Charles's toolbox, the item that James is dreading.
0:39:59 > 0:40:04This is the big one, James. Mr Dipper's chest.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09- Big it up.- Interest here. Bids start me at 90. £100 I have.- Yes!
0:40:09 > 0:40:14- 110, 120, 130, 140. 150. 160. - It's moving, it's moving, Jim!
0:40:14 > 0:40:16- 170, 180.- It's moving! I'm cooking with gas!
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- 210, 220.- 220!- It's £220, gentleman's bid on my right.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- With you, 220 and I'm selling. - Cooking with gas, Jim!
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- Last time at 220, if you're all done?- It's 220!
0:40:26 > 0:40:32- Last time.- Oh, wonderful!- It was. - Oh, thanks, Jim. Hold on. Hold on.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Mirrors, signal, manoeuvre.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42220! That was a biggie! I've been taken apart.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46- I'm up and down, don't worry. - 220, eh? 220!
0:40:46 > 0:40:49God! Can't believe it! I'm lost for words.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Well that's first, then!
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Well done, Charles
0:40:52 > 0:40:56and you should thank H Dipper for a magnificent profit.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00- Well, the drinks are on you, chief. - Yeah. Scrumpy all round, eh?
0:41:02 > 0:41:06It all hinges on James's canteen of cutlery,
0:41:06 > 0:41:09the item Charles was less than impressed with.
0:41:09 > 0:41:14Interest here. I have to start at 90, 110, 120 is bid.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18- £120 is bid.- Unbelievable! - At £120, and I'll sell.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20It's an absentee bid at 120.
0:41:20 > 0:41:25Selling on the book, get it you in the room at the last time at £120.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29- Well played!- Back in there! - That is unbelievable!- Well done!
0:41:29 > 0:41:30- God!- I needed that.- Brilliant!
0:41:30 > 0:41:34- I needed that to keep up with this young man.- Get out of here!
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- I did.- Get out of here!
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Great result, James,
0:41:38 > 0:41:42but sadly it's not enough to beat the incredible results from Charles.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47We both had a tremendous day, haven't we?
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- We have had a tremendous day. - I can't believe it.- Let's go.
0:41:51 > 0:41:56- Have you got the car keys on you? - No.- Why not? Where are they? James?
0:41:57 > 0:42:01There you are, there you are, there are the keys. Go on!
0:42:01 > 0:42:04The chaps started today's show with £200 each.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Charles has had a terrific auction, but who is the winner?
0:42:09 > 0:42:15After paying auction costs, James made a small profit of £46.80
0:42:15 > 0:42:19and has a reasonable £246.80 to carry forward.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Whizz kid Charlie Hanson, meanwhile, made a whopping profit
0:42:25 > 0:42:32of £173.10, catapulting the young pretender into the lead.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37Charles has a delicious £373.10 to start the next show.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43- Which way, straight on? Yes? - Yes, straight on.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47- Gently!- Steady, Charles!
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Thankfully his antique buying is better than his driving.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Feel the brake. Nice opportunity for...
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Don't change up too early. Can you feel the brake?
0:42:54 > 0:42:57We need to stop now. That's it.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04Next time on the Antiques Road Trip, James and Charles travel to Dorset.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10James demonstrates he's a very patient man.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14- Don't say sorry, just do it.- Sorry. - Don't say sorry!- Sorry!
0:43:14 > 0:43:17- Don't say sorry! - I won't say it again! OK! OK!
0:43:17 > 0:43:20And Charles is a very brave boy.
0:43:20 > 0:43:21If you turn the handle...
0:43:21 > 0:43:25- Will it hurt me or not? - No. I promise it won't hurt you.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27- Is it a trick?- No.
