0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each...
0:00:05 > 0:00:11- I love that!- ..a classic car and a goal, to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- Yipee!- My heart's slightly racing.
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 > 0:00:23Evening all!
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So will it be the high road to glory, or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Jonny, are we going to end up in a dead end?
0:00:30 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:39SKA VERSION OF BOND THEME PLAYS
0:00:39 > 0:00:44It's the penultimate leg of our jaunt in a little 1964 MG
0:00:44 > 0:00:47with Jonathan Pratt and Anita Manning.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52It's been quite a thriller!
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Jonathan, going to be very careful here. We're very near the edge.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- And it's a long way down! - This is not Monte Carlo.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03I'm getting vertigo.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06En garde!
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Auctioneer Anita, let's just call her Miss Moneypenny...
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Broom! Broom! Broom-broom!
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Has been setting the pace all week with her "auction man" rival,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19the slightly clumsy Johnny English,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22who's shaken but rarely stirred.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Yes, you look lovely!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26But although diamonds are forever,
0:01:26 > 0:01:30in this business, you're only as good as your last assignment.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35You bought the boring old brown furniture and I bought a lot of rubbish.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- THEY BOTH LAUGH Yeah, that's true!- And we both lost!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41OK, things could be better.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43But they're heading in the right direction.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Jonathan began with £200
0:01:46 > 0:01:51and he's so far managed to turn that into £370.39. That's not bad!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Anita, who also started out with £200,
0:01:55 > 0:02:00now has an even more respectable £420.41.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Oh, no! It's raining again!
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- You've got your hood up now, Jonny! - Oh, yeah!
0:02:05 > 0:02:10The thing about hats is, it causes your hair to fall in a certain pattern for the rest of the day.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- You're a big sissy!- Yeah, I know.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Anita and Jonathan are travelling over 400 miles,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21through Scotland, England and Wales,
0:02:21 > 0:02:25From Glasgow all the way to Llangefni on the Isle of Anglesey.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30We're starting out at Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire,
0:02:30 > 0:02:35heading for an auction at Mold in Flintshire, North Wales.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Hebden Bridge is a lovely old town in the valley
0:02:39 > 0:02:44and was once full of mills, weaving the wool from the hills around and about.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46It was known as Trouser Town.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Jonny, we're both in the same place this morning.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Mm.- I don't want you following me around.- Oh!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54You'll be following me around.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Jonathan's first to get stuck into the cabinets.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09After the bad result I had last time,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I'm going to try and go for jewellery and silver and little objects.
0:03:12 > 0:03:18Mm! Interesting. Upstairs, Anita seems to have an entirely different tactic.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I quite like this.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26It's from the 1930s. Magazine rack.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31And it's got this lovely carved handle here
0:03:31 > 0:03:34and the carved sections.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Now, that's so reminiscent of the Art Deco period,
0:03:37 > 0:03:41where you have these circular, sympathetic shapes.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44It's functional. People will like that.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49And it's got a dog there and I know that people do like dogs.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52So I've got three sort of good elements there.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I doubt she'll be so enthusiastic about it in front of the dealer, Steve, though!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59The ticket price is £22. Stand by.
0:03:59 > 0:04:05- It's not the greatest of quality. I think this is just plywood. - I think it is, yes.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- But quite a nice, clean, wee, functional item.- Yes.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13It would appeal to dog owners. Do you think that is a Welsh wolfhound?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I'm not too up on dogs, but, er, probably.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- ANITA LAUGHS - You're a great salesman!
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Yeah, looks more like an unusually vicious labrador to me.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I'd be looking to pay in the region of £10, £12.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Well, we could do it for £12.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- £12?- Yes.- I think that's a good buy for 12.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- It's a deal. Lovely! Do you think I'll make a profit? - I'm sure there will be.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Definitely.- Come on, Fido.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Now how's our jewellery hound? Is he on the scent yet?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49This is a gold and zircon ring.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53This is the problem with jewellery -
0:04:53 > 0:04:58it takes absolutely forever to be sure what you're looking at.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Zircon's a natural stone.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05But it's very, very obvious what it is on a big stone.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07But on a small stone, it's much harder to tell.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Zircon can occur in a variety of shades
0:05:10 > 0:05:15and the colourless stones can be good, cheaper substitutes for diamonds.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18And you've got a 9-carat gold ring with a cluster of zircons.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21It's worth a punt because it's quite a pretty little cluster ring.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24The price on the box is...
0:05:24 > 0:05:26£32.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Anything else?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31This is a gold stick pin.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34It could be rolled gold. It's quite pretty.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36A little squirrel.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41He's got a little nut in his hand which is a little seed pearl.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46On with the squirrel! What-ho, old bean!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48It's rather cute, isn't it? Don't you think?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- If you say so, JP.- Maybe not.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I wonder if dealer Trish will be impressed.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56So I was wondering if you'd do the two together, perhaps for £20?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- So it's a total of 40.- Mm. - 32 and 8.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03The two of them for 32 would be all right.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Nice and easy! I'll take that. Thank you very much.- You're welcome.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Very happy with that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14And he's sticking with jewellery, as he finds something else.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I rather like this little chap here.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It's just a nice little Victorian wheelbarrow.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25It's a late 19th-century, silver-plated,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27novelty.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29It probably is a salt cellar.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33It probably started off life with a glass liner perhaps
0:06:33 > 0:06:38and the quality of the details - I think the little screw heads are a nice little touch.
0:06:38 > 0:06:44You can see the lines are nice and dark, which is where the silver coating has tarnished,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47and it's been left buried in the corners.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52You can't fake that. It can't be done just like that. It certainly gives it the age.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53I like that a lot.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Ha! At £55, it's over to you, Trish.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00- It's got style about it. If it was silver, it would be hundreds of pounds anyway.- It's a one-off.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03So what's the best on that? Would you do 40?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Erm... I think 40's a little bit low for me.- 42?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Yeah, let's stick with the twos and say 42.- 42.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15OK. Och, I'm on fire this morning! £42!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Oh, Lordy! Are you really? - Thank you very much.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Well, he's certainly come over all decisive today.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Tactical, too, it seems!
0:07:24 > 0:07:29I'm going to stick to small things and quite simply buy five objects that I could fit into my pockets.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34Really?! Oh, it looks like Anita's finally got her hands on some smalls! Ha!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Is this your cabinet?- It is, yes.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Look at this little pencil here.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42This little propelling pencil and the lid is still there.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Now, that would fit in a pocket.
0:07:45 > 0:07:479-carat.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It's quite plain and it's quite straight forward.
0:07:50 > 0:07:56I also like the fact that it's made by Sampson Mordan & Company.
0:07:56 > 0:08:02Sampson Mordan filed the first patent for a mechanical pencil in 1822.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06And the family company continued to manufacture highly collectable items
0:08:06 > 0:08:10until 1941, when their London factory was destroyed in the Blitz.
0:08:11 > 0:08:17- 56. Can you come down a bit from there?- What were you thinking of?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19In the region of 30.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- I could go to 40. - Could you go to 40?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Are happy with that?- 40 would be the best, yes.- OK, thank you.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Right. Time for our pair to hit the road.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34They're travelling from Hebden Bridge across the border to Burnley,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36in Lancashire.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43The two mill towns, just 15 miles apart, have quite a lot in common.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47In fact, they were once both linked by a pack-horse route,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50although, nowadays, most people prefer the A646.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Time for Jonathan to go solo.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Have a nice time!- Have fun, too. - Spend lots.- Thank you.
0:09:00 > 0:09:07Well, with some 9,000 square feet of space, they certainly think big round here.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Who on Earth would buy that? My word!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12How about Phil Serrell?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18This is the Perfect Fit, Form-O-Matic Dress Form.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Eh!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I should watch where I put my hands, actually. Erm...
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Steady!
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- This is quite fun, actually. I quite like this.- Do you like it?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- I suppose this is for dresses and things?- Yeah, you're right!
0:09:28 > 0:09:32You just pull these pins out and then twist from behind.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Like so.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38And then you can adjust it accordingly.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42It's unusual. I can't say I've come across one before. It's quirky.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45It sort of conjures up the nostalgia of the 1950s.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Hang on! You'll never get THAT in your pocket, lad.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52It was not really what I was looking to put my money into. £65.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56It does seem a little steep for me. What would you sell this for?
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- Mm, for you, special customer, £40. - £40.- That's a real bargain, trust me.
0:10:01 > 0:10:07- I'll have to take her waist in a bit.- Oh, yeah! Depends how you like your ladies!
0:10:07 > 0:10:11I think he's smitten. Who wouldn't be?
0:10:11 > 0:10:16- How about £30?- 32. How's that for you?- Oooh...
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Do we have a deal, Jonathan? Come on. You know you want to.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- £32. Do you know what? Why not? OK. - OK.- Thank you very much.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- It's yours.- Thank you.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Ha! Don't they make a lovely couple?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Jonathan and Anita are back together again.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37They're on their way to Darwen in Lancashire.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Er, Jonny, just in here to the right.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Aladdin's Cave.- Aladdin's Cave. Is he a lad in a cave?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Is that what he is? - Well, he's a bit of a lad!
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Is he a genie?- Aye, he's a genie! - THEY LAUGH
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Interesting, yes?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- It's interesting, yes.- Ah, hello!
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- Hi, Steven. I had such a good time the last time that I brought Jonny along.- Great. Nice to meet you.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Ah, old chums, eh? This could be interesting.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Well, the name of this place certainly fits,
0:11:08 > 0:11:13although I have seen caves arranged with a little more care and attention.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Our Anita is first to grab dealer Steven.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Come on. You help me to get a bargain.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24..and is hoping to make familiarity count.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I think that's so sweet.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30It's a little country...cot.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- A little rocker. - Nice old paint inside.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Yeah! That's the original stuff, isn't it?- I think it is, yeah.- Yeah.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- Nice colour as well. - How old do we think this is?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- I think about 1870, 1880. I don't know. What do you think?- A-ha.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Probably made by the...? - The father. I think the father would have made it
0:11:50 > 0:11:53when the mother gave birth, for the baby.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- A big baby.- Tall baby. Plenty of room to grow! - Plenty of room to grow, yeah!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I like this. I like this, Steven.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06I would hope it would be the type of thing that would appeal within a rural community.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Not that you'd put a baby in it these days, but you could put plants
0:12:10 > 0:12:13or teddies or whatever.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- How much is this, Steven? - I'd like about 110.- Right.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20What's the very best that you can do on that?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Erm...
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Oh, I'd better sit down, hadn't I? - HE LAUGHS
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- 90!- I'll hold your hand.- 90! 90!
0:12:30 > 0:12:33What's the very, very, very, very def on it?
0:12:33 > 0:12:3575.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- 75?- 75.- It's a deal on that.
0:12:38 > 0:12:44So Anita's the proud owner of some brown furniture and Jonathan found himself a cabinet.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47L-E-T-T-E-R.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50You'd really want it to say "toast". That's the thing!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Cos people don't really have letter racks any more.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56How old is it? Not very, probably.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59You'd like to think it was early 20th century. The quality's there.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02But is it silver?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07It's almost like it's... It is silver. Can't be.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09It's too stiff.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11The ticket price is £59.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14It almost has a homemade feel about it.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Yeah, I thought that. It's an interesting piece.- A bit of fun.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- "Letter" for a letter rack. - Yeah. It might be 60 years old.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- 40?- I was thinking more like 20. STEVEN LAUGHS
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- I'll split the difference with you. 30.- OK, right.
0:13:27 > 0:13:2930 quid, that's your very best?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Er... We'll come to some agreement.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36And Jonathan asks Steven about something rather interesting.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- You could have probably sold this a million times, cos it's there in front of you.- Yeah.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45- It's a fabulous piece, I think. It's hand painted.- It's on wood.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Yeah, a lot of people wanted that over the years. I've had it a few years now.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- It's a smart thing. - 200 for that.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- Don't step backwards, by the way.- Yeah! Yeah!
0:13:55 > 0:13:58That would be TV gold, wouldn't it?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Phew! That was close, Jonathan.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03You wouldn't take 150 for it, would you?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Go on! Right, OK.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- Grieves me much, but...- I'm going to shake your hand on that one.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- I think it's fantastic. Thanks. You'll do well with that. - Brilliant!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15What about a little chaser?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- The letter rack, you'd do for what? - 30.- OK.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I'll go for that. And then I'm absolutely finished shopping.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- I may as well pay you now. - Yeah. please! And clear off!
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Well, he's certainly got a lotta bottle.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30You're free to go and try and fleece Anita now.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33See if you can get as much as you can out of her. Thank you very much.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Steven!
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Was that a cry for assistance?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Steven!- Hello, Anita!
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Steven! Steven! Wherefore art thou?
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- I've found something up here which you might be dying to get rid of.- Oh, I hope so!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I'll come up now.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53- I found this big dud of gnarled wood.- It's a root.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- It's a root?- Yeah. - It's a root, a-ha.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59It's a wonderful piece of natural art.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04- So it's taking an enormous amount of space up...- Yes. - ..in your warehouse.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- But I have had it a while. - You've had it for years?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- Er, a couple of years perhaps. - ANITA LAUGHS
0:15:11 > 0:15:16- I am willing and happy to take it off your hands...- Oh, that's great.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- ..for a tenner! - Oh, oh! Oh, I couldn't.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24- I couldn't.- You couldn't do it for a tenner?- I'll sell it, for a huge loss, for 40.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- Every day it's sitting here, it's costing you money.- Yes.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30It was a twig when it first got there!
0:15:30 > 0:15:32LAUGHTER
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- And I'm willing to take it off your hands for a tenner!- Ooh!
0:15:36 > 0:15:39It's a bit like chopping away at a tree, this.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- 40, that's a good price, really. - 40?!- 40!
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Steven, it might not even get a bid. - 25 then.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Will you let me take it off your hands for £10?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Could this be TIMBER!
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Why not?- Oh!
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Thank you very much. Are you happy that I'm taking if off your hands?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I have mixed feelings, really, mixed!
0:15:59 > 0:16:00LAUGHTER
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Bye-bye Aladdin's Cave!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08That was a fruitful bit of shopping.
0:16:09 > 0:16:15Now it's time for Jonathan to leave Darwen and get down to St Helens.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21The fortunes of this town were built upon coal
0:16:21 > 0:16:24and on the heavy industry that needed that fuel.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Nowadays, the talk in St Helens is all about regeneration
0:16:27 > 0:16:31and this giant sculpture stands on the site of the last colliery.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37But the town still makes glass and has done for almost 300 years.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- HE LAUGHS - This is an amazing building.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47Hi, Jonathan. I'm Hannah, the curator. Welcome to the World of Glass.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51The entrance of the World of Glass museum is a replica of the huge furnace
0:16:51 > 0:16:54located elsewhere on the site.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58It was constructed by William Windle Pilkington
0:16:58 > 0:17:01for the around-the-clock manufacture of glass.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06Pilkington based its HQ here in St Helens back in 1826
0:17:06 > 0:17:10because of the raw materials and skills located here.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15But as the exhibits show, the story of glass is much, much older.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19This is the Glass Roots gallery with the Pilkington collection.
0:17:19 > 0:17:203,000 years' worth of glass.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I know they discovered glass when lightning hit sand.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- And you get what they call angels' tears, or something.- That's right.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32And it's little globules of natural glass and they took it from that.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- This is a Roman piece. - Isn't that fab?
0:17:36 > 0:17:41- The Romans invented glass blowing in the 1st Century AD.- Yep.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- That's wonderful. 2,000 years old, or thereabouts.- Yes.
0:17:44 > 0:17:50Also in the collection are hugely valuable pieces by some of the great glass designers,
0:17:50 > 0:17:55like Rene Lalique and this cameo glass by the British manufacturer Thomas Webb and Sons.
0:17:57 > 0:18:03I mean, I absolutely adore that. I think that is such an amazing piece. Absolute skilled work.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08Although designers like George Woodall took etching and carving
0:18:08 > 0:18:10through fused layers of glass to new heights,
0:18:10 > 0:18:14it was, essentially, a Roman technique.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Pilkington pioneered the industrialisation of glass manufacture,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24but the basic method remains roughly the same.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28In the hot-glass studio, you can see the ancient craft in action.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- That's so clever. I've never seen it done before.- Oh, right!
0:18:33 > 0:18:35OK, and it happened instantly.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- So centrifugal force is pulling it down.- Wow! That's amazing.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43You quite simply just bring it out, spin it and let gravity do its work.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Magnificent.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Very clever.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- That's lovely. Isn't that lovely? - Would you like to have a go?
0:18:52 > 0:18:53- What me?!- Yes!
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- Oh, no! Er... I can try. - Yes.- All right.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Oh, I see. Right.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Just very gently breathe down the end there.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Don't suck whatever you do, Jonathan!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- Wooh!- Wow!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Oh, it's a light bulb. I've invented the light bulb.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Ha! Not bad, but I don't think they'll be displaying your work
0:19:17 > 0:19:20alongside the greats just yet.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23But while Jonathan's been getting all creative,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Anita's anxious to finish off her shopping
0:19:26 > 0:19:31and is making her way from Darwen over to Ormskirk.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- Hello, Alan.- Hello.- I'm Anita. It's lovely to be here.
0:19:37 > 0:19:43Typically, Anita has her eye on something very buyable, although hardly a classic.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49- It's rather a strange, wee box. - Yes. It's been made in the Far East within the last five or six years.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52We have these little geometric squares here.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- I like the fact that it's been hand done.- Yes, it has, with a chisel.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- You can use it as a little stationery box or a sewing box.- Yes.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04Put a little lock on that, you could use it for your love letters.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Yes! Good!
0:20:06 > 0:20:09You've got £15 on it. It's not a lot of money.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13I would like to be buying it for in the region of ten.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- Is that at all possible? - Let's do a deal at ten.- OK.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- That's lovely. Thank you very much, Alan.- You're welcome.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20It was a pleasure doing business.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Good work, young lady!
0:20:21 > 0:20:25And here's a reminder of this leg's shopping.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Anita started out with £420.41
0:20:28 > 0:20:32and she spent £147 of it on five auction lots.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Jonathan began with £370.39
0:20:37 > 0:20:42and he spent £286, also on five auction lots.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Come on, you two. Spill it.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Tell us what you really think of one another's stuff.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51The Sampson Mordan gold pen is an absolute steal.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53She'll double her money that, for sure.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56But she's bought a tree. Totally out of character!
0:20:56 > 0:20:59She might get £15, but how many people will be willing to pay it?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I love Jonathan's items.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08I think he's let his feminine side lead him this time. Apart from the big bottle of whisky, of course.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I think he might beat me this time!
0:21:10 > 0:21:14After starting out in the Pennines at Hebden Bridge,
0:21:14 > 0:21:17this leg of our journey concludes in North Wales
0:21:17 > 0:21:20at an auction in Mold.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Is this going to be your day, Jonny? Are you going to win today?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Oh, I'd like to think so, but who knows, who knows?
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Hello!
0:21:27 > 0:21:29We're at Dodds Auctioneers
0:21:29 > 0:21:33and Anthony Parry is in charge of proceedings today.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Oooh!
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Right.- Are you nervous, Jonny? - Yes, I am nervous.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Pull yourself together then. You're up first.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47Starting off, we have Jonathan's silvery letter rack.
0:21:47 > 0:21:5010 I've got. £10. 10. 15. 15.
0:21:50 > 0:21:5320. 25. 25's up the room. 25.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- Do we have 30 anywhere else?- 26!- 26.
0:21:57 > 0:21:5828.
0:21:58 > 0:21:5932.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Come on! Come on!- All done at £32?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- It washed its face, as they say. - It washed its face.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Well,- I- say, actually, but a loss after commission.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12What will Mold make of his wheelbarrow?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15This is a rural area. People love their gardens.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18They've got lots of wheelbarrows, these guys, but none that small!
0:22:18 > 0:22:21£10. 10. 10. £10.
0:22:21 > 0:22:2312. 14. 16.
0:22:23 > 0:22:2618. 20.
0:22:26 > 0:22:2722.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Well, you heard him say, "One more." So he won't go another!
0:22:31 > 0:22:3322. 24.
0:22:33 > 0:22:3624... There you are. He said, "No." 24. 25.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- 25.- Go on!- 25.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Are you having 26? Oh, dear me! 26 over here!
0:22:42 > 0:22:4426. 27.
0:22:44 > 0:22:4528.
0:22:45 > 0:22:4729.
0:22:47 > 0:22:4830.
0:22:48 > 0:22:5030.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52No more for the wheelbarrow then!
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Oh, dear! Jonathan's quality plan's not off to a go start.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58You mean bunch!
0:22:58 > 0:23:02But I did think that was one that might struggle.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07Anita's gold pencil. Everyone seems to agree it's a belter.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11This is rather a nice lot. 30 I've got, £30. £35.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13£40. £45.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16£45. 45. £50.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18£55. £60. 65.
0:23:18 > 0:23:2070. 5.
0:23:20 > 0:23:2180.
0:23:21 > 0:23:2385.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- 90. Are you having 92.50, sir? - Go on.
0:23:26 > 0:23:2992.50. £100! Thank you.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31It's gone then at £100.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- Oh, shut up!- Yes!
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Quite a contrast. She's straight out of the blocks.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Good start.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Certainly was. Now for Jonathan's ring and pin. Nice nails!
0:23:43 > 0:23:46£20 I've got to start. £30. £40.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Yes!- £50.- Yes!- £60.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- WOMAN: 65.- 65.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- 70.- WOMAN: 70!
0:23:54 > 0:23:5675. Where's 80?
0:23:56 > 0:23:5875. Any more?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Are we all done at £75?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- WOMAN: 77.- Oh, yes!- 77.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06And done at 77 then!
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- Excellent.- Ah, thank you.- Excellent! - Clawing back.- Smashing!
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Yes, a bit of recovery from an awful start.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- That's more than we thought. - Thank goodness for that!
0:24:17 > 0:24:21OK, who's ready for some sculpture? Don't laugh!
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- Nobody knows how much that's worth. - Most people would walk past it.
0:24:26 > 0:24:32On a dog walk, their dog would stop, lift his leg and carry on walking!
0:24:32 > 0:24:34What shall we say for it?
0:24:35 > 0:24:36£5!
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- Thank you, sir!- Well, there we are. £10!- Yes!
0:24:41 > 0:24:43£20.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44- What?!- £30.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46£40.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47What?!
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- WOMAN: 45.- 45.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Who's going to have 50?- 46.
0:24:52 > 0:24:5346.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- £46!- 47.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57ANITA LAUGHS
0:24:57 > 0:24:5848.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- £50.- Yes!
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Are we quite sure we can't get any more money?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- Do you want to ask outside? - Ask outside! Ask around, Jon.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10LAUGHTER
0:25:10 > 0:25:14£50 and this lady is winning this. All done at 50 then?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- Yes!- Oh, Lordy!
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Yeaaah!
0:25:17 > 0:25:20You're mad, all of you! You're mad!
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Well, she hoped to find people of like mind.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- Oh!- You are amazing, Anita.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31What about her doggy magazine rack? Might it have its day?
0:25:31 > 0:25:32£10 note. £10.
0:25:32 > 0:25:3415. 20.
0:25:34 > 0:25:3525.
0:25:35 > 0:25:3727.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41All done at 27 then?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- 27.- Very good. - I'm happy enough with that.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I'm sure she is.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Now for Jonathan's big one.
0:25:49 > 0:25:5020.
0:25:50 > 0:25:5230.
0:25:52 > 0:25:5340. 50.
0:25:53 > 0:25:5660. 70.
0:25:56 > 0:25:5880.
0:25:58 > 0:26:0080's there. 90.
0:26:00 > 0:26:0390. It should double this, easily.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04£90's here. 90.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09100. And 10. 115.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Go on!- 120. 120.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14All done at £120 then?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Are you quite sure?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I knew it. Oh, man!
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Oh, dear! It's enough to drive you to drink, Jonathan.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Well, I'm bitterly disappointed with that.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Can his shapely friend help out?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31£20. 20. £25.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Yes!- £30.
0:26:34 > 0:26:3635.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- £40. £42.50!- 42...!
0:26:39 > 0:26:4045.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45£50. All done at £50 then?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Jonathan, well done!- Thank you.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Wasn't that excellent?- 18 quid!
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Not bad! But probably not enough either.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Now for Anita's brown box.
0:26:58 > 0:27:0210 I've got. 12 I've got. 14.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- 16.- Oh, God! Here we go!
0:27:05 > 0:27:0720.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09£20.
0:27:09 > 0:27:1122.
0:27:11 > 0:27:1324.
0:27:13 > 0:27:1426.
0:27:14 > 0:27:1628. Thank you.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- A loony bin! - 30 coming back. 32 at the back.
0:27:20 > 0:27:2134?
0:27:21 > 0:27:25No more? All done at £34 then. You're quite sure?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- Goodness me!- They like the brown stuff in this auction.- They do.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Yeah, Anita's in tune again.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37My last item is coming up. It's the pine rocking cradle
0:27:37 > 0:27:41that really was the item that I was worried about.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44If you make a profit on it, then you have to sing
0:27:44 > 0:27:47"She Wears Red Feathers And A Hula-Hula Skirt".
0:27:47 > 0:27:48ANITA LAUGHS
0:27:48 > 0:27:51£10. £15.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54£20. £25.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58£30.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59No?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02All done at £30 then?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Thank goodness for that!
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Well, at least we won't have to put up with Anita's singing.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Despite that little wrong note,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Anita's easily the winner today.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Jonathan began with £370.39.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21And after paying auction costs,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23he made a loss of £32.62,
0:28:23 > 0:28:29leaving him with £337.77 to spend on the next leg.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34Anita, however, started with £420.41.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38And after paying costs made a profit of £50.62,
0:28:38 > 0:28:43giving her £471.03 and a substantial lead.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Well done, that girl!
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Very well done, Anita. I'm a bit disappointed about that cradle actually.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52The opportunity to hear your dulcet tones...
0:28:52 > 0:28:56# She wears red feathers and a hooley-hooley skirt
0:28:56 > 0:29:00# She wears red feathers and a hooley-hooley skirt... #
0:29:01 > 0:29:04And onwards we go for the final adventure
0:29:04 > 0:29:08with Anita, Jonathan and their little 1964 MG.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11# Bread of heaven
0:29:11 > 0:29:14# Bread of heaven, feed me now... #
0:29:14 > 0:29:15No...
0:29:15 > 0:29:17# Feed me till I want no more
0:29:17 > 0:29:18# I want no more
0:29:18 > 0:29:23# Feed me till I want no more. #
0:29:23 > 0:29:26That's right, we're in Wales.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33They're travelling over 400 miles from the city of Glasgow
0:29:33 > 0:29:38all the way to Llangefni, on the Isle of Anglesey.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40But first stop is the town of Colwyn Bay.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43And they will auction later in Llangefni.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- Don't you love the sea?- Oh, lovely!
0:29:49 > 0:29:52The seaside town of Colwyn Bay is the birthplace of former
0:29:52 > 0:29:55007 actor Timothy Dalton,
0:29:55 > 0:29:59and is the location for Anita's next shopping assignment.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02And she is like a whirling dervish who is licensed to spend
0:30:02 > 0:30:07all of her £471.03.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09I'm feeling a wee bit dangerous today.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13Is this the shop I could spend all my money in?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15It seems Anita is on a mission,
0:30:15 > 0:30:18and her first task is to cosy up to owner, Frank.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- Hello!- Hi. - Good luck, Frank!
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- I'm Anita.- How are you? - Is this your shop?- It is, yes.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26- Oh, it's a great shop. - You like it?
0:30:26 > 0:30:29It's usually small, sparkly jewellery Anita falls for.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31But there's nothing tiny about this chandelier.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Oh, no, just look at it, it's a brute.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37When I look at it, it is moulded glass, it's not quite crystal.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Fairly modern.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43But there's nice quality to it. It's a lot of weight, you see?
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Yeah. Yeah. Hold it up, Frank.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50If there were two of them, you could use them as earrings.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54It'd be a big lady who could wear a pair of earrings that size!
0:30:54 > 0:30:56No need to say it like that, Frank.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Quite a lot of quality there, isn't there?
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Well, it's not bad, but it's not the best.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Maybe we can do something with that for you,
0:31:06 > 0:31:08if you've got your eye on that.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Well, I'll tell you, there's another couple of items.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- Let's go. - What I want to do, Frank...
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- Is marry a few things together. - I want to spend, spend, spend!
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Right.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Oh, Lordy, he looks frightened.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25I fancy this wee table,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28because I like the idea that it is like a miniature.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33I like the idea that you can use it as a single table, or you can
0:31:33 > 0:31:34- separate it out.- That's right.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- I like these things. - It's functional.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38And I like the idea that it's functional.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Another item that I was looking at,
0:31:41 > 0:31:44and again, I'm thinking for function...
0:31:44 > 0:31:46What's she up to now, then?
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Very unusual for Anita to get so excited about furniture,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52but she has found yet another decorative table.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54I hope she's all right.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- This is... It's a Louis Cannes style.- That's right.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Louis XVI style, I reckon.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05It looks a lot more than what you'd be expecting to pay for it.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09These plaques, for instance, you see on here, are porcelain.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- And as you say, it's got that Louis look.- Yes.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16And the thick marble, so it's not going to just be knocked over,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19you know, it's a good all-around piece.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Now, it looks like Anita is going in for a multi-buy.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26The original ticket price on the chandelier is £150.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29£75 for the twin pedestal table
0:32:29 > 0:32:32and £85 for the marble-top table,
0:32:32 > 0:32:35giving a combined total of £310.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36Wow, this is chancy.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I was thinking...
0:32:38 > 0:32:4050,
0:32:40 > 0:32:4250,
0:32:42 > 0:32:4380.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47That's 180.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50To help you to sell them, and I can more or less guarantee
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- you'll make a good profit on these.- Uh-huh.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Not a pound or so. I'll do 200 for the three for you.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59200 for the three? You're a darling!
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Oh. You're enjoying that, Frank.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Well, we got there in the end with a masterclass
0:33:04 > 0:33:08of smiley negotiations from the alluring Anita.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Jonathan, meanwhile, is in nearby Rhos on Sea.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20How's our young gun getting on with the old shopping, eh?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23He's got £337.77 to spend.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27OK, so a little brooch. It's got a '50s style about it,
0:33:27 > 0:33:30doesn't it? It is sort of like a... almost a Scandinavian influence.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Stamped 18K, so it's continental.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35A brooch, eh?
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Well, the lad's done well on jewellery before
0:33:38 > 0:33:41and owner, Shawna, has a cabinet full of the stuff.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Would you mind if I see this gold and diamond circular brooch?
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- The Victorian- Mm-hmm.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53A few diamonds in. Nicely made, isn't it?
0:33:53 > 0:33:56This sort of beadwork, I wonder why it has got a milled edge, though.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Isn't that funny? It's almost like a coin.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01It does look a bit like a coin, doesn't it?
0:34:01 > 0:34:05Diamond is a nice colour, but it's internally flawed.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- Yes, it's just a dress brooch. - But it's a pretty thing.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Pretty thing.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14Seems Jonathan's in brooch heaven today.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17And he's not finished shopping yet.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19He's on the prowl for more booty.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22I'm going to step away from the cabinets for a moment
0:34:22 > 0:34:24and have a look around.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32The little spill vase with the sort of 1970's style,
0:34:32 > 0:34:33with the rustic base.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37It's by Deakin and Francis, by the way, is it, D&F?
0:34:37 > 0:34:40I mean, you'd call it a spill vase.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42It would be for something like putting a little flower in.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44I think spill was something else,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46I think it was like rushes for lighting fires and things,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49but you've got this lovely little rusticated base.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52It's weighted all right and it's got a little bit of age.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55And he's got his eye on something else.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59Crikey, Jonathan! There's no stopping you today.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02I quite like that design. It's quite sweet, isn't it?
0:35:04 > 0:35:06It has a sort of almost carpet pattern,
0:35:06 > 0:35:08sort of Spanish-Mexican or something.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Basically, what we've got here is a vesta case.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Vesta case is a matchbox case.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14And you'd carry your matches around with you.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16It's a sort of 19th century thing.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19So, Jonathan decides to go in for a job lot
0:35:19 > 0:35:22on the Victorian gold brooch,
0:35:22 > 0:35:24the '50s gold brooch
0:35:24 > 0:35:27and the silver vesta case and vase.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32The combined ticket price on all four is a whopping £520.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- Make it 290 then.- 290.- Mm-hmm.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39And that will do me just fine. That's what I was going to ask.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41£290 - thank you very much.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Four items, one shop!
0:35:46 > 0:35:48£290 blown already.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52The boy's certainly going for it. God!
0:35:52 > 0:35:55And Jonathan even has Auntie Anita providing a chauffeur service.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58She's taking him onwards and upwards to his next shop
0:35:58 > 0:36:01in Llandudno Junction.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04And it looks like she's taking the scenic route, look at that.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08How did we manage to go the wrong way, Jonathan?
0:36:08 > 0:36:12It's your blethering. Your blethering has put me off.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Of course it has, Anita. Of course it has(!)
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Oh, he's such a chatterbox, isn't he?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Well, Anita, well driven. Even if you did go the wrong way.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Watch it, Johnny!
0:36:24 > 0:36:28Drive safely. Do you know where you're going now? Do you want a map?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- You all right?- Shut up. - Yes, you tell him, Anita.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- Have a good time. - And you, see you.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35We'll catch up with Jonathan later, but for now,
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Anita is travelling to Conwy
0:36:37 > 0:36:40to visit a splendid and ancient townhouse.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46The town of Conwy is enclosed within a ring of 13th-century walls
0:36:46 > 0:36:49and protected by a mighty Norman castle.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56In the narrow streets, stands Plas Mawr.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59It's a townhouse built for the influential Welsh merchant,
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Robert Wynn.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06Wynn was a well-travelled courtier and trader
0:37:06 > 0:37:10and the house stands as a symbol of a prosperous, buoyant age.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15The style and design symbolizes Wynn's wealth and status.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20This architectural delight is considered to be the finest
0:37:20 > 0:37:23surviving Elizabethan townhouse in Britain.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Anita is meeting with property manager, Rachel Skelly,
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- to learn more. - It's lovely to be in Plas...?- Mawr.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Tell me, what does that mean?
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Plas Mawr means "big house" or, as we like to say, great hall.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40It is the finest example of an Elizabethan merchant's townhouse.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43It has been compared to a modern day footballer's house.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46It would have been the latest fashion of the period -
0:37:46 > 0:37:47modern, up-to-date.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- So, it is a big bit of bling. - It certainly is.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- Can we go up and have a look? - You certainly can.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55I'm looking forward to this.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06Robert wanted to demonstrate his success and wealth
0:38:06 > 0:38:08with the latest in 16th century design.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- Here we have Robert Wynn's bedchamber.- Ah, right.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17So he would have his big four-poster here.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19He certainly would, in front of the fire.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- And this is his coat of arms here? - This is the Wynn coat of arms.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25And that is 1577.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30And as we were talking about the footballer's modern-day house,
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- here we have a garderobe. - Oh, right.
0:38:33 > 0:38:38- Oh, so this is our 16th century en suite.- It certainly is!
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- Very modern.- I wouldn't like to smell that, though.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- I can't see Wayne Rooney in there.- No.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Wynn was proud of his Welsh ancestry and commissioned
0:38:50 > 0:38:54specialist plasterers to create decorative schemes
0:38:54 > 0:38:58that incorporated heraldic emblems of his family.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Again, this symbolized the might of Wynn's wealth.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09Ah, now, Rachel, this...
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- ..this is the room that I can see myself in.- It certainly is.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16I think this is wonderful! And the first thing that strikes me
0:39:16 > 0:39:19really, is this very colourful plasterwork.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22I mean, what are these female figures all about?
0:39:22 > 0:39:25These are called caryatids and they are what
0:39:25 > 0:39:27we believe to be Robert's interpretation
0:39:27 > 0:39:29of the Greek priestesses on the columns.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32So, he was a well-educated man who had travelled
0:39:32 > 0:39:37and what he wanted to do was show the world and his guests...
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- that he was a travelled man. - He was showing off again.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41He was showing off again.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45I mean, look at the ceiling, it's like a Christmas cake!
0:39:45 > 0:39:49It is absolutely wo... It's very cheerful.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53But, again, it's a bit over the top. There is no subtlety here.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56- No.- It's bling all the way.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00And what I love, as well, is the light, the windows.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02These windows are marvellous.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05They certainly are and they, again, show his wealth.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08And did you know, back in that day,
0:40:08 > 0:40:10if you moved house, you took your windows with you?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- Because glass was very expensive. - So expensive.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18While Anita enjoys the grandeur of this splendid Elizabethan
0:40:18 > 0:40:22townhouse, let's find out how Jonathan's getting on
0:40:22 > 0:40:24in Llandudno Junction.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Well, he doesn't have much money left in his purse,
0:40:29 > 0:40:32but owner, Nicky, tries to points Jonathan in the right direction.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34That's not bad. What about something like that?
0:40:34 > 0:40:37I know it's a bit... Gaudy Welsh-looking.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Oh, I see what you are talking... Yes, yes.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43I know it's not... But, in your budget.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46This Staffordshire tea service is in this style of
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Gaudy Welsh pottery, which was made in England and Wales
0:40:49 > 0:40:52between about 1820 and 1860.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56There's four pieces and a teapot and stand.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Would you take £20 for it?
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- I'd take £30 for it.- There you go. - But it's not mad, is it?
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Eh... Well, you know, the condition... It is a good look.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- You know, it's showy.- Four pieces.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10It looks like the sort of Crown Derby, that sort of thing.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- It's got a chance, hasn't it? - Maybe it has got a chance.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16OK, that's one item rooted out, what's next?
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Right.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23That's a big one. I haven't seen one that large before.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25You probably know more about that sort of thing than I do.
0:41:25 > 0:41:31Embossed metal badge for the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34It's one hell of a cap badge, isn't it?
0:41:34 > 0:41:37I've never seen one that big, have you?
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Um, normally they're a quarter of the size. I rather like that.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- It has got the military touch, but it also was a Welsh Regiment then.- Yeah.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48Actually, Jonathan, this is a pioneer's apron clasp.
0:41:48 > 0:41:54The pioneer would lead the Fusiliers when on ceremonial duties.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Nicky must be taking pity on Jonathan -
0:41:58 > 0:42:01he's dropped the price of the tea set by a tenner.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03So, 20 quid...there.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06And then how much is this chap here?
0:42:06 > 0:42:07I'd do that for 20 quid, as well.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Uh... If I bought both, would you give me a better...
0:42:10 > 0:42:14..would you give me a little more off? Would you say...
0:42:14 > 0:42:1520...
0:42:15 > 0:42:16and 10?
0:42:16 > 0:42:18HE LAUGHS
0:42:18 > 0:42:20No.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22No, 20 and 20.
0:42:22 > 0:42:2520 and 20, I'd do for you, wouldn't I?
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- 20 and 15.- Oh, go on. - £35 on.- OK, brilliant.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Splendid work, Jonathan!
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Oh, dear! Anita and Jonathan are having to brave
0:42:36 > 0:42:38the rainy weather of Blighty once again.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47Our daring duo have travelled to the town of Penmaenmawr,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49on the North Wales coast.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52The town is famous for its spectacular mountain
0:42:52 > 0:42:56and coastal walks and lies within Snowdonia National Park.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Anita and Jonathan are sharing their first shop of the day.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Mick, the owner, meets them as they arrive.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Let's join young Jonathan.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11He already has five lots, so there isn't any pressure to buy.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19But surprisingly, Jonathan has found something straight away.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21I learnt to ski on skis this long, actually.
0:43:21 > 0:43:22They would have seemed this long
0:43:22 > 0:43:25cos I was probably only about that high when I learnt.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28But now everyone skis on skis about this long.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31They're not made of wood. These are made of oak.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36£32. £32.50?
0:43:36 > 0:43:38That's in the realms of possibility, I'd say.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41I can be persuasive if I want to be.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45Oh! Fighting talk from JP.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47- Would you take a tenner for them? - Um...
0:43:47 > 0:43:50Oh, dear, I don't know if I could do that, you know.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53OK, will you take the whole lot? If I give you £12.77...
0:43:53 > 0:43:56I can't do any more than that. Just will you take the lot?
0:43:57 > 0:44:00- Go on then.- OK, thank you very much. 12.77, thank you very much.
0:44:00 > 0:44:01- Good.- Brilliant.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03Well done, Jonathan.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06Every last penny blown - I love your bravado.
0:44:08 > 0:44:09Whoops-a-daisy!
0:44:09 > 0:44:12Meanwhile, where is our lovely Anita?
0:44:14 > 0:44:18Mick, these are just so beautiful.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21And you've got a wee notice saying that they are Welsh tapestries.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23- Yes.- I mean, tell me a bit about them.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26I didn't know they made this type of thing in Wales.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29Well, they're double woven, so they're actually negative
0:44:29 > 0:44:32and positive. If you look on the blankets,
0:44:32 > 0:44:35- can you see it goes that way? - Uh-huh.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37And turn to the opposite side and it's the negative.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39I've got to buy one of these.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43Welsh blankets have been produced in North Wales for centuries.
0:44:43 > 0:44:48This one is named after the mill it was made in - Tregwynt.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51The original ticket price on this blanket is £125.
0:44:51 > 0:44:55- Is this one that you would let go? - I would let go of this one, yes.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57Would you let it go for 50 quid?
0:44:57 > 0:44:59I tell you what I'll do, give me another tenner
0:44:59 > 0:45:02- and you can have it, there we are. - Another tenner? 60 quid?
0:45:02 > 0:45:0460 quid and you've had a bargain. There we are.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07I think that for 60 quid...
0:45:08 > 0:45:13..we are buying something of beauty and craftsmanship.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15Absolutely.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17- Very Welsh.- Absolutely.
0:45:17 > 0:45:18Mick, it's a deal.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25Aw, Mick obviously loves Scottish women and Welsh blankets.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29Thank goodness Anita managed to prise one out of his collection.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31There is a labyrinth of rooms through there.
0:45:31 > 0:45:35They're all packed full of stuff, it's wonderful.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38But this thing caught my eye and I really like it.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40It's colourful and it's fun.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43It's the front part of a gaming machine,
0:45:43 > 0:45:47which has maybe been broken up but they've kept this bit here.
0:45:47 > 0:45:53Viva Las Vegas. And it tells you there is a new six-pound jackpot.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55That must have been a lot of money,
0:45:55 > 0:45:58so we're maybe talking about 1960's, 1970's.
0:45:58 > 0:46:02It's totally useless, but I like it.
0:46:02 > 0:46:07It's got £17 on it. That's not a lot of money.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10Anita collars Mick to go in for a deal.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13- You've had it for years? - Years and years.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16- Could you make it cheaper than that? - A little bit, yeah.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19- What were you thinking of? - I was thinking of...the jackpot.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Do you know, I'm feeling very generous,
0:46:21 > 0:46:24so I think you should take it for £6, there we are,
0:46:24 > 0:46:27- cos you've hit the jackpot. - You are about to be embraced
0:46:27 > 0:46:30- by a grateful customer. - Oh, dear, again?
0:46:30 > 0:46:32Oh, thank you so much.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34Thanks.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36Cor, she likes the fellas, doesn't she?
0:46:36 > 0:46:40So, that's the Welsh blanket and the gaming machine fascia
0:46:40 > 0:46:42for £66, but...
0:46:42 > 0:46:47I don't like 66. It has either got to be 65 or 67.
0:46:47 > 0:46:48Oh.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51- So what do you think we should do? - I think we should go for 67.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56That will do me then. It pays for the lighting.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59- The extra pound...- Another quid. Every quid counts.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02He's a one, that Mick.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05But Anita's now bought all her items.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09And let's remind ourselves how they've been spending their booty.
0:47:11 > 0:47:15Jonathan Pratt started with £337.77
0:47:15 > 0:47:19and spent every penny on six auction lots.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24Anita began with £471.03
0:47:24 > 0:47:28and spent £267 on five lots.
0:47:30 > 0:47:31I love this bit.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34Let's hear what they think of their latest offerings.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38The skis? Well, he is a skier, so he had to buy them,
0:47:38 > 0:47:39but they're full of woodworm.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42She's paid too much for the chandelier
0:47:42 > 0:47:45and she won't be able to sell the modern '50s
0:47:45 > 0:47:48awful Louis XV-XVI style table.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51Mmm. The handbags well and truly out, then.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54Let's get back on the road and head to auction.
0:47:56 > 0:47:57Long old go, this, isn't it?
0:48:03 > 0:48:07Cor, it has been an ambitious finale with Anita and Jonathan
0:48:07 > 0:48:12battling it out, from Colwyn Bay along the North Wales coast,
0:48:12 > 0:48:14to Llangefni on the Isle of Anglesey.
0:48:17 > 0:48:22This is the famous Menai Bridge that connects mainland Wales to Anglesey.
0:48:22 > 0:48:25I wonder if Anita knows when it was built.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28This was opened in 1826, John.
0:48:28 > 0:48:32- Was it really?- Yep. It said it up there.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35Cheeky!
0:48:35 > 0:48:37Our pair of road trippers are travelling through
0:48:37 > 0:48:40the Anglesey countryside, heading for today's auction, but, Lordy,
0:48:40 > 0:48:42who will be the overall champ?
0:48:46 > 0:48:51- This is your last chance to catch me up, Johnny.- I know!
0:48:51 > 0:48:55Founded in 1964, Morgan Evans and Co
0:48:55 > 0:48:57has a long-established reputation.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Simon Bower is our auctioneer in command.
0:49:02 > 0:49:06Right then, quiet please! The option is about to begin.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Oh, oh! Here we go.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13First up it's Jonathan's antique wooden skis.
0:49:14 > 0:49:15£50, 50?
0:49:15 > 0:49:1730?
0:49:17 > 0:49:19£15 I've got. 15 bid.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21You're in profit, you're in profit!
0:49:22 > 0:49:2420? £20 bid? £20 bid.
0:49:24 > 0:49:2622? 22 bid. 22 bid. 22 bid.
0:49:26 > 0:49:2925? 25 bid. 25 bid.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31£25 I have.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33For a pair of skis, not dear, are they at 25?
0:49:33 > 0:49:35Out the gate quickly.
0:49:35 > 0:49:36At 25 and sold...
0:49:36 > 0:49:40- That's a good start! That's a good start.- Double the money.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42Good-oh, Jonathan, splendid start.
0:49:44 > 0:49:48I'm pleased, pleased that people like a bit of skiing style, you know,
0:49:48 > 0:49:49a bit of vintage.
0:49:52 > 0:49:56Moving on then, next it's Anita's big, sparkly chandelier.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00Am I going to make 100 quid on this chandelier?
0:50:00 > 0:50:03I'm starting to get a wee bit worried now.
0:50:03 > 0:50:05£40 then. 40?
0:50:05 > 0:50:0730 on the chandelier.
0:50:07 > 0:50:10- The lovely sound of clinking glass. - Hold it up!
0:50:10 > 0:50:1315. Can't go any lower. Lovely chandelier, 15.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16Ten, I'm bid, at ten. £10 bid. Ten, I'm bid.
0:50:16 > 0:50:1712. 15.
0:50:17 > 0:50:2020. £20, I'm bid.
0:50:20 > 0:50:22Worth another? 25.

0:50:25 > 0:50:2830, I'm bid. Cheap enough at 30. In the back at £30.
0:50:28 > 0:50:3132 did you say, sir? 35.
0:50:31 > 0:50:35- When someone went 30, he went like that with his fingers.- Oh, right.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37£40, I'm bid. Not dear, is it?
0:50:37 > 0:50:40Fair play, ladies' bid, all gents out then.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42Hammer's up at £40...and sold.
0:50:42 > 0:50:43106.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46- 40 quid.- Bad luck. - That's me down 60.
0:50:46 > 0:50:50It's only your first lot, Anita. Chin up, girl.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52- But that for me...- Is wonderful.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54..is a perfect start!
0:50:56 > 0:50:58You naughty, naughty boy.
0:50:59 > 0:51:02He IS a naughty boy.
0:51:02 > 0:51:06Now, it's Jonathan's tea service next, the one he can't stand.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10£10 I'm bid on the blue gilt Staffordshire pottery tea service.

0:51:23 > 0:51:25Puts you all out?
0:51:25 > 0:51:28At £38. Hammer's up at 38. And away then...
0:51:30 > 0:51:34Just goes to show you, Jonathan, buy for the auction
0:51:34 > 0:51:36and not for your own tastes.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38Oh, you're catching me up!
0:51:39 > 0:51:43It's Anita's beautiful Welsh blanket next.
0:51:43 > 0:51:44£40, I'm bid.
0:51:44 > 0:51:4740 bid. Five. 45 bid. 45, 50.

0:52:00 > 0:52:02Lovely bedspread at £90.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05Hammer's up, and sold at 90 then.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08- Very good.- Excellent. - See? Ye of little faith.
0:52:08 > 0:52:09I know.
0:52:09 > 0:52:14This is a first, Anita receiving counsel from Jonathan?
0:52:14 > 0:52:15Anyway, a good local buy from Anita.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21Next, it's Jonathan's silver lot.
0:52:21 > 0:52:25- Will it push him further into the lead?- 80? 60?
0:52:25 > 0:52:2730, I'm bid for the two. £30 bid.

0:52:40 > 0:52:43- 75.- Now it's going. 75 quid.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45Standing bid then, at £75 for the two.
0:52:45 > 0:52:48- Not dear, but away they go at £75. - That's fine.
0:52:48 > 0:52:49Hammer's up, then...
0:52:49 > 0:52:52- Well done, Jonathan.- 75 quid. - You are on a roll.
0:52:54 > 0:52:59Jonathan is trying hard to hide his excitement. Yet another profit.
0:53:00 > 0:53:04Can Anita win the jackpot with this unusual glass fascia
0:53:04 > 0:53:08from a...gaming machine? Oh, Lordy, here we go.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10£15. Ten.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12Come on!

0:53:33 > 0:53:35- They didn't like it.- That's a shame.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38Well, at least somebody bought it.
0:53:40 > 0:53:46Next, it is the pioneer apron clasp from the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.
0:53:46 > 0:53:49Can Jonathan continue his profit-making streak?
0:53:49 > 0:53:52Bid from me, interest to start at £15.
0:53:52 > 0:53:5515 bid. 15 bid. 15 bid.
0:53:55 > 0:53:5718. 20. 22.
0:53:57 > 0:54:0025. 28. 30.
0:54:00 > 0:54:03At 30 bid for a lovely badge.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05Fair play. At £30. Any more quickly?
0:54:05 > 0:54:07Hammer is up then at £30 and away.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12This young man is definitely on a roll.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15It's usually Anita that's flying high.
0:54:16 > 0:54:19Come on, girl, let's see if the miniature table
0:54:19 > 0:54:21can help you up the profit stakes.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23£10, I'm bid. £10 bid. £10 bid.
0:54:23 > 0:54:2612, £12 bid. 15.

0:54:31 > 0:54:3328. 30.
0:54:33 > 0:54:3632. 35. 38.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39At £38, I'm bid, nice, clean, little table at £38.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42On the market at 38 and away then.
0:54:42 > 0:54:43£38.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46- Ooh!- Oooh...
0:54:46 > 0:54:50Oooh... Seems they have adopted a new language, eh?
0:54:51 > 0:54:56Oh, dear! Yet another loss to add to Anita's collection.
0:54:56 > 0:54:59God, I've lost... That's another 12 quid I've lost.
0:54:59 > 0:55:00Ah!
0:55:01 > 0:55:05Right, it is Jonathan's 1950's gold brooch next.
0:55:05 > 0:55:0840 bid. At £40 bid. Lovely gold brooch at 40 bid.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10£40. 40 bid.
0:55:10 > 0:55:1340, I'm bid. 40 bid. Five. 50.
0:55:13 > 0:55:1555. 60.
0:55:15 > 0:55:1765.
0:55:17 > 0:55:19At £65, I'm bid. 70 now, then.
0:55:19 > 0:55:2170. 75.
0:55:21 > 0:55:25Sounds cheap, but away it goes on the market, then. At £75 and away.
0:55:26 > 0:55:30Oh, dear. Jonathan's run of profit has just come to an end.
0:55:33 > 0:55:37It's Anita's marble-top Louis XVI-style table next.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40Can she claw back a big chunk of profit?
0:55:40 > 0:55:42It's got to make 100 quid.
0:55:42 > 0:55:45Lovely quality little table, isn't it? Starting at £50 on it.
0:55:45 > 0:55:4850? 40 on that little marble-top table.
0:55:48 > 0:55:5020, I'm bid. £20 bid.
0:55:50 > 0:55:53£20 bid. 25. 30.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56- At £30, I'm bid.- Come on, come on.
0:55:56 > 0:55:5930 bid. It'll be sold, should be more. At £30.
0:55:59 > 0:56:01Hammer's up then, at 30 and away.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04Oh, God, another loss!
0:56:04 > 0:56:06That is Anita's last item, too.
0:56:06 > 0:56:10So, can Jonathan push through to the finishing line?
0:56:10 > 0:56:14It's exciting, isn't this?
0:56:14 > 0:56:18It all depends on the very last lot.
0:56:18 > 0:56:20That's right, Anita.
0:56:20 > 0:56:24How will Jonathan fare with his Victorian gold brooch -
0:56:24 > 0:56:28the one that is studded with diamonds?
