0:00:03 > 0:00:07It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with ?200 each...

0:00:07 > 0:00:12I love that! ..a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15Yipee! My heart's slightly racing.

0:00:15 > 0:00:19The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.

0:00:24 > 0:00:29So will it be the high road to glory, or the slow road to disaster?

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Johnny, are we going to end up in a dead end?

0:00:31 > 0:00:34This is the Antiques Road Trip!

0:00:35 > 0:00:36Yeah!

0:00:40 > 0:00:45It's the second leg of our trip in a little 1964 MG

0:00:45 > 0:00:49with Jonathan Pratt and Anita Manning.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52I think we're both going to the same shop. Are we?

0:00:52 > 0:00:55What, shopping at the same time in the same shop? I think so.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Jonathan is an auctioneer and a former porter.

0:00:58 > 0:01:03He grew up watching Lovejoy and likes to live dangerously.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07If he could just make his mind up.

0:01:07 > 0:01:12Anita turned her childhood love of art and antiques into a career as an auctioneer.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15She also has a fondness for puppetry.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Isn't that great fun?

0:01:17 > 0:01:21Anita had Jonathan in the palm of her hand at the auction in Glasgow.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Yes!

0:01:23 > 0:01:28But today, in the beautiful Scottish Borders, her rival's finding his feet.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Ecclefechan? Ecclefechan.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34SCOTS ACCENT: Ecclefechan. Oh, that's a great accent!

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Eh! We've just come past Ecclefechan.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Jonathan started out with ?200.

0:01:41 > 0:01:46And he's, so far, managed to turn that into ?235.34. Well done, boy!

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Anita, who also began with ?200,

0:01:51 > 0:01:53now has ?317.74.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Great!

0:01:56 > 0:01:57Oh!

0:01:57 > 0:02:01Whoa! Oh, hope that's not a sign of things to come.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Oh! LAUGHTER

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Anita and Jonathan are travelling over 400 miles,

0:02:06 > 0:02:09through Scotland, England and Wales,

0:02:09 > 0:02:13from Glasgow, all the way to Llangefni on the island of Anglesey.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Today, we're starting out in the south-west of Scotland at Lockerbie,

0:02:17 > 0:02:21and heading over the border to an auction in Darlington, County Durham.

0:02:24 > 0:02:29Lockerbie is a Norse name, apparently, and the town has a long and venerable history,

0:02:29 > 0:02:33especially since Thomas Telford supplied the Carlisle-Glasgow road

0:02:33 > 0:02:36in the early 19th century.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Ah, just outside there. Wonderful!

0:02:40 > 0:02:44Jonathan, look at that! What...? JONATHAN LAUGHS

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Well, how about that?

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Anita already has something.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Looks like you've got there a bit too late, Jonathan.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56I was looking at this wee vintage watch.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59I think it's probably from the 1950s, '60s.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Anita's found Irene to strike a deal with.

0:03:02 > 0:03:08It's at ?20. I'm looking to buy it for less, if I can.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12What's the very, very, very best that you can do on that?

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Erm, what about 12? 12?

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Well, she said that 20 was cheap.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Let's go for 12. That's lovely.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24Thank you. Thank you very much. That is smashing. I'm pleased with that.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28It looks a lot better than mine. It does.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33On that note, let's see what Jonathan's been up to.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34DING!

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Quite like that. Chinese porcelain bowl.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40You've got a firing crack in the star crack in the bottom.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44It's not a break. It's the body drying out and cracking in the kiln.

0:03:44 > 0:03:49This enamel decoration painted over the glaze is a little worn in places.

0:03:49 > 0:03:55It's in remarkably good condition when you consider it's between 150 and 180 years old.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58You have ?60 on it.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00And you might take an offer of...?

0:04:00 > 0:04:0235. Oh, OK.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07OK, we're moving in the right direction. That's a very busy bowl!

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Crikey!

0:04:09 > 0:04:12That's rather a smart thing.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16There's a dragon, picked out in gilt, with four toes.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19The four-clawed dragon on porcelain

0:04:19 > 0:04:23was usually for imperial nobility and high-ranking officials.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28Those items with five-clawed dragons were reserved for the Emperor himself.

0:04:28 > 0:04:34Improper use of claw numbers was punishable by execution, once upon a time.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Very nice decoration though, but what about the damage?

0:04:38 > 0:04:41What a shame! What a shame!

0:04:41 > 0:04:43It's still a very nice piece though.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47How much is he? ?15. ?15? Yes.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Go on, Jonathan, get your wallet out!

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Er...

0:04:52 > 0:04:54And the other one would be 35? Yes.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56You can do it.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58?35... You wouldn't do the two for ?40?

0:04:58 > 0:04:59Erm... Yes, go on. I will.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02The two bowls for ?40? Yes. I'll have those.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Thank you very much. Lovely.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07At last, JP! Well done.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11Now, I think Anita might have designs on the tableware.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14These are highly collectable.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18They're Homemaker plates. 20th-century design.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20And I love 20th-century design.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Homemaker was created by Enid Seeney.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27It was once very popular in Woolworth's.

0:05:27 > 0:05:32People were getting away from pre-war styles. They wanted something modern.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36They wanted something new. 20, 30, 40.

0:05:36 > 0:05:42?70. In an auction in London, that's not dear,

0:05:42 > 0:05:45but they're going to an auction in Darlington.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49I'm going to have a think about those. Definitely have a think.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Well, these two experts do seem to have uncannily similar tastes today.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Gent's Longines automatic.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Now he's after a watch!

0:05:57 > 0:06:00From about the '60s. I quite like that.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04It's a nice watch. It's quite wearable today still.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08The market for gentlemen's automatics, and certainly mechanical watches,

0:06:08 > 0:06:11is reasonably buoyant, you know?

0:06:11 > 0:06:15It's gold-plated... Yes, it's gold-plated.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19I think that one would have 60 on it, so I would take 35.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21ANITA IN THE DISTANCE: It's a nice thing, a nice thing.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25I was looking at the Homemaker plates here. Oh, yes.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28I'm interested in those.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Give you 30.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Hello. Hello.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38I'm kind of looking for a price around about ?25.

0:06:38 > 0:06:4030 would be fine. 30?

0:06:40 > 0:06:44I think I'll go for that and just take the chance on it.

0:06:45 > 0:06:46BEEP-BEEP!

0:06:46 > 0:06:50And Jonathan's certainly sounding pleased with himself.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52BEEP-BEEP!

0:06:52 > 0:06:53Oh, do calm down!

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Patience! Patience, Jonathan. Patience.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00Do you like what you bought? Well, I... Who knows, who knows?

0:07:00 > 0:07:03You don't want to tell me anything! Drive on, Macduff!

0:07:03 > 0:07:06It's "Jonathan" actually!

0:07:06 > 0:07:09They are travelling to the outskirts of Dumfries.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Anita wants to shop by herself

0:07:11 > 0:07:15so she's commandeered the car to get there as soon as possible.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21Hello! Hi. I'm Anita. I'm Douglas. Pleased to meet you.

0:07:21 > 0:07:27It's lovely to be here. Is it "Dougie"? I was just being polite though!

0:07:27 > 0:07:28OK!

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Well, those two seem to have hit it off straight away.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35I was looking at this little stool here.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41It's not old. It's all dressed up and pretending to be

0:07:41 > 0:07:46something older and something more luxurious than it actually is.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49There is a French look about that.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52A sort of hint of luxury there, which I do like.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55?65. It's got the look. Yeah.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58And I don't mind the fact that it's metal.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Can I make you an offer of ?24?

0:08:01 > 0:08:06You know, I might get away with it at 24. Make it 25. 25?

0:08:06 > 0:08:09I've got to take it. OK, thanks. Great.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12But Anita's not putting her feet up just yet. Oh, no!

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Time to step out into the garden.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Look at that one.

0:08:17 > 0:08:23That is absolutely beautiful.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26And that's the type of cast-iron fire place

0:08:26 > 0:08:29that you would find in a Glasgow tenement building.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32Glasgow loved Art Nouveau.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Mmm. But is it the right thing for a general sale in Darlington?

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Look at these sinuous tendrils

0:08:38 > 0:08:42which are coming up to this heart-shaped affair here.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45This is just absolutely lovely.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49It's odd to think that in the days before central heating,

0:08:49 > 0:08:52fireplaces were functional items,

0:08:52 > 0:08:54rather than a decorative focal point.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57This one's priced at just ?30.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Now, who's going to make the first offer this time?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02I'd like to be paying ?20.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Give me 25 and it's yours. 25? 25.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Are you dying to get rid of that? No.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12Just a sense of... No, I'll give you it for 25.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15You'll give me it for 25. Dougie, it's a deal.

0:09:15 > 0:09:20That is a popular figure. I wonder if these two would always, somehow,

0:09:20 > 0:09:22arrive at ?25?

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Back in the car, our pair are trying to find England.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34This is someone's driveway we're going down. Someone's driveway.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Somehow they've found the border

0:09:38 > 0:09:40and they're heading to Carlisle in Cumbria.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Do they know where they are?

0:09:45 > 0:09:50Eden Bridge. Was it Eden Bridge it says? I thought that was in Kent!

0:09:50 > 0:09:52No, definitely Carlisle.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55There's the Antiques Centre for a start.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Now that looks interesting. Can smell the bargains already! Oh, excellent! That's my boy!

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Have a great morning. OK, bye-bye.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Hello! Crikey! What a place this is! Hello, Jonathan.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Nice to see you. And welcome to Carlisle. Thank you!

0:10:11 > 0:10:17Do I need a map? I could get lost quite easily in here. Maybe start in the first one.

0:10:17 > 0:10:22I know what you mean, Jonathan. This place does seem like a whole street full of antique shops,

0:10:22 > 0:10:24tastefully rearranged.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27We could be here some time.

0:10:27 > 0:10:28HE WHISTLES

0:10:28 > 0:10:33This is kind of fun, little transfer-printed plate from the middle part of the 19th century.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36"Yorkshire Relish" on there, which is quite cool.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39I think the auction's in Yorkshire. Darlington's in Yorkshire, isn't it?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Well, County Durham, actually.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Anyway, I think that's rather fun, actually.

0:10:43 > 0:10:48It's not chipped. It's not cracked. They're only asking ?7!

0:10:48 > 0:10:49HE LAUGHS

0:10:49 > 0:10:53If I'm going to be frugal... ?7 is frugal, isn't it?

0:10:53 > 0:10:57I think Anita would approve of that, too, but where's she got to?

0:10:58 > 0:11:03One of the oldest parts of Carlisle, apparently, and, surely, one of the town's smallest shops.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07Hi, folks. Hello. I'm Anita. Pleased to meet you.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10I'm John. This is Julie. Ah, John and Julie!

0:11:10 > 0:11:14It's very small here, you know. Well, I'm only small as well.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16ANITA LAUGHS

0:11:16 > 0:11:22Just about everything in this shop is on the trim side, too, especially their coins.

0:11:22 > 0:11:27I wonder if you can show me that piece there, please?

0:11:27 > 0:11:31And there's a piece of amethyst at the top.

0:11:31 > 0:11:32There you are.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35I suppose they are antiques, in a way,

0:11:35 > 0:11:38but she seems determined to break new ground here. Huh!

0:11:38 > 0:11:43I know what that is, but I don't know what that is. Tell me about that.

0:11:43 > 0:11:48This is a fossil and it's an early form of squid.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52Squid? Yes. And it's called an orthoceras.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56And... And it swam along through the water.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Are you following this, Anita?

0:11:58 > 0:12:05Eventually, they curled up and we ended up with a fully curled ammonite.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Has that come out of the sea then? Well, millions of years ago.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11It's been fossilised, become part of the rock. Right.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15And all that's happened, it's been cut in half and polished.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16I was just thinking...

0:12:16 > 0:12:19These would make a great pair of earrings!

0:12:19 > 0:12:21LAUGHTER

0:12:21 > 0:12:25So while Anita grapples with the coming together of jewellery and natural selection,

0:12:25 > 0:12:29what's Jonathan unearthed? Not Whistler's are they?

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Oh, they're nice as well.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37You've got sort of a flower seller and this lady here who has a...

0:12:37 > 0:12:42I suppose she's the same really. Almost Romanian, or that sort of area.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Pretty girls always sell, that's the thing.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Ideally, with as little clothing on as possible, but you know...

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Beggars can't be choosers.

0:12:51 > 0:12:531881. It's a German name.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57"A H Weigall". W-E-I-G-A-L-L.

0:12:57 > 0:13:02Arthur Howe Weigall, 1836-1894, was an English painter,

0:13:02 > 0:13:05about whom very little is known.

0:13:05 > 0:13:10But the somewhat tatty condition of these two only adds to their authenticity in a way.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13A picture dealer won't complain about that too much. They know they can get it restored.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16I've sold pictures where they've made silly money with holes in,

0:13:16 > 0:13:20because it makes it feel like it's fresh to the market.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24There's no price on these, but they almost certainly won't be cheap.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28I don't really want to go blowing over ?100 on one item.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31And if those pictures come in at that, then I'll...

0:13:31 > 0:13:37then I'll stand around staring at them for 20 minutes, thinking about it!

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Time for some decisive action.

0:13:39 > 0:13:40Are you open to offers?

0:13:40 > 0:13:43The pair - and it might be a nice surprise for you - 125.

0:13:46 > 0:13:50The figure in my mind was... Crikey! ..even at the most was ?100.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53So how about 110?

0:13:53 > 0:13:58Er, come back to that in a second. Yes. This is not a big, big buy. This little chap here. Oh, yes.

0:13:58 > 0:14:04You've got ?7 on it. Actually, it's not great leverage on a pair of pictures like that, is it?

0:14:04 > 0:14:07Not quite, but it all helps.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09So we'll knock a pound off, how about that? For good measure.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12Get on with it, boy!

0:14:12 > 0:14:16I'll go ?7 on that and pay the full asking price,

0:14:16 > 0:14:20and you give me those for 100. Oh, it's just a bit tight that.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22HE LAUGHS

0:14:22 > 0:14:26I'll do that at six and I'll do those at 105, how about that?

0:14:26 > 0:14:29105? That's 111. Er...

0:14:29 > 0:14:31TICK-TOCK, TICK-TOCK

0:14:31 > 0:14:34I'm not a fan of odd numbers. Shall we knock the one off then?

0:14:34 > 0:14:37So we're looking at 110 for the two. 110. Fiver for this, 105 for those two. Yes.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40And I hope you do well with them. It's real gamble.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Hand on brow. Could we be close?

0:14:43 > 0:14:44No.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47TICK-TOCK, TICK...

0:14:47 > 0:14:49OK. OK?

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Well done. Thank you. I'll go for those two.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53At last!

0:14:53 > 0:14:55My heart's slightly racing.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57More of a heart ache for us!

0:14:57 > 0:14:59..Four, five...

0:14:59 > 0:15:03Well, he did end up spending over ?100, but those things could fly.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Now, what about Anita? She has been busy.

0:15:06 > 0:15:11So the citrine, the amethyst and the agate,

0:15:11 > 0:15:14and this little chap here... A geode. Geode.

0:15:14 > 0:15:19These are all natural minerals and I have my ammonite.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22And my... Orthoceras. Orthoceras.

0:15:22 > 0:15:27And if I put these together... They come to 53.50.

0:15:27 > 0:15:32I would like to be paying something in the region of ?20, ?25.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Have you been thrown out of many antique shops?

0:15:35 > 0:15:37ANITA LAUGHS

0:15:37 > 0:15:39I would be happy at 30.

0:15:39 > 0:15:44Yeah, I think, as you've shown so much appreciation of them. Thank you very much, Julie.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Ah, well! Time for our two to get motoring.

0:15:50 > 0:15:55Leaving Carlisle and heading east to the nearby market town of Brampton.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59I'll drop you off here, Jonathan. Ah, lovely.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02So last shop, darling.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07Well, he's got just ?55.34 to play with here,

0:16:07 > 0:16:10so he'll certainly have to choose wisely.

0:16:10 > 0:16:15Hiya. Hi. Steve. Hi. Jonathan. Hi, Jonathan. It's like a Tardis, isn't it?

0:16:15 > 0:16:19Yes! But it's a bit more comfy, actually, and stuffed with nice

0:16:19 > 0:16:22and, very possibly, expensive things.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28It might be simpler if I just asked you what you can sell me for what I've got!

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Not a bad plan, Jonathan.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Ah, a letter seal.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37What do you think? It's a fabulous piece of amber.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40It's a big lump of amber. It's lovely, isn't it?

0:16:40 > 0:16:44It's continental, so it's probably... 800, possibly German or something.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Amber is a type of sappy tree resin often from the Baltic

0:16:47 > 0:16:50thanks to the many forests that surround that region.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54The price though is a bit beyond his budget.

0:16:54 > 0:16:59I've got 55 quid. That's all I have. That's fine. That is all I, isn't it?

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Yeah, that's all you've got, mate.

0:17:01 > 0:17:06We'll turn you upside-down and shake you! So that for 55? That'll be fine. Fair enough. Deal.

0:17:06 > 0:17:12That little deal nicely wraps up Jonathan's purchases and empties his pockets of all but 34p.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14We're done! Cheers! All the best.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17So much for saving money then, eh?

0:17:17 > 0:17:21Unlike Anita, who's still sitting on almost ?200.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26She's finished shopping, too, and is heading back north

0:17:26 > 0:17:30from Brampton across the Scottish border to the village of Gretna Green.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Is she going to marry?

0:17:33 > 0:17:36# I'm on my way to Gretna Green

0:17:38 > 0:17:41# Where the prettiest gal you've ever seen... #

0:17:41 > 0:17:46Gretna's been firmly on the runway marriage map since the middle of the 18th century -

0:17:46 > 0:17:52the very word spelling "ruin" from Jane Austen right up to EastEnders.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55But Anita's here to find out exactly why.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Hello, Anita. Welcome to Gretna Green and the famous blacksmith's shop.

0:17:58 > 0:18:05Oh, Gretna Green! One of the most romantic destinations in the world!

0:18:05 > 0:18:09Would you like to come through and see a little more of it? I'd love to. Lead on, Jim!

0:18:09 > 0:18:13# I've got to get to Gretna Green

0:18:13 > 0:18:15# Cos the Pa is mad and the Ma is mean... #

0:18:17 > 0:18:21It was a change in English law, plus Gretna's location,

0:18:21 > 0:18:26slap bang on the border, that transformed the village into a sort of Scottish Las Vegas,

0:18:26 > 0:18:31at the centre of which has always been the unlikely figure of the blacksmith.

0:18:31 > 0:18:36So this is the actual blacksmith's shop. This is where it all took place? Yes.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40This building would have been the first building those young couples

0:18:40 > 0:18:43running away from angry parents down in England would have found.

0:18:43 > 0:18:48Why did they come to Scotland? Young ladies, like yourself and others,

0:18:48 > 0:18:52were marrying the wrong sort of people. They might have been marrying beneath themselves,

0:18:52 > 0:18:54or someone the family didn't approve of.

0:18:54 > 0:18:59The English passed a law saying no longer will you be allowed to marry in England

0:18:59 > 0:19:03if you were under 21, unless your parents agree with your choice of husband or wife.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07The Scots, when asked by the English to pass the same law, declined.

0:19:07 > 0:19:12They said, "We don't need a law like that. We have our own customs and conventions,

0:19:12 > 0:19:15"and one of those conventions is that you may marry at 15.

0:19:15 > 0:19:21"You need no-one's permission. On your own head be it if you get it wrong." That was your business.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23I love that!

0:19:23 > 0:19:28Because the blacksmith on the border was a highly respectable craftsman,

0:19:28 > 0:19:32he landed the part-time job of conducting irregular marriages.

0:19:32 > 0:19:38Gretna became synonymous with anvil priests and angry parents.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41ANITA LAUGHS Complete... I love this, here.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45"Filial affection or a trip to Gretna Green".

0:19:45 > 0:19:48And this was an effect of the new Marriage Act.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52Filial affection doesn't usually extend to whips and guns, but...

0:19:52 > 0:19:54ANITA LAUGHS

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Long before the Scottish and English laws harmonised,

0:20:00 > 0:20:04the village was one of the marriage capitals of the world.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Nowadays, they come for the romance alone

0:20:06 > 0:20:10and there are over 5,000 weddings in the area every year.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Anvils are usually involved.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15Anita, you and your hus... LAUGHTER

0:20:15 > 0:20:19I strike the anvil, symbolic of joining two hearts,

0:20:19 > 0:20:23just as I join two pieces of iron and steel with the heat of the fire in the anvil

0:20:23 > 0:20:27never to be separated. So now, you two, are joined.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31I'm feeling quite emotional now! Does that mean that we're married?

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Whatever you want to think, dear. Come on!

0:20:34 > 0:20:38It will never last, you know.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44Here's a quick catch-up of just how many pennies they spent.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48Anita started out with ?317.74 and she spent

0:20:48 > 0:20:52just ?122 of it on five auction lots.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58Jonathan began with ?235.34 and he spent everything,

0:20:58 > 0:21:02apart from the pennies, on his five auction lots.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06What are their thoughts on their bags of antiques?

0:21:06 > 0:21:09The little amber seal.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13I'm not sure how old it is and I'm not sure it is amber.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15I think he might have slipped up on that, but you never know.

0:21:15 > 0:21:19Very clever lot of purchases. Guaranteed profit with the watch.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23Guaranteed profit with the Homemaker, but I've bought a great pair of paintings,

0:21:23 > 0:21:28and I honestly think I could make losses on the rest and still thrash her at this auction.

0:21:28 > 0:21:33Well, after starting out in the Scottish Borders at Lockerbie, this leg of our trip

0:21:33 > 0:21:36will conclude at an auction in Darlington.

0:21:36 > 0:21:41Although it's very far north, should we call it your stomping ground, Jonathan?

0:21:41 > 0:21:44Yes, I suppose the North and the Midlands is very much where the Pratts came from.

0:21:44 > 0:21:50Really? Yes. Here. Only there are Pratts everywhere, I know that!

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Looking forward to this, dear boy. Me, too! Me, too!

0:21:54 > 0:22:00Thomas Watson's have been holding auctions at this very saleroom since 1840.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04So I'm sure they can shift whatever Anita and Jonathan have bought.

0:22:04 > 0:22:09Well, we hope so! Peter Robinson is our auctioneer commanding today's sale.

0:22:09 > 0:22:14Are you nervous? Are you worried? I am nervous. I am always nervous before the sale.

0:22:14 > 0:22:19And I start to feel jittery. That's the coffee. Yeah!

0:22:19 > 0:22:23Oh, dear! Relax. It's Anita's tableware first.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Here we are.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29?30 bid. To start at ?30. I have 5. 40. 5.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Yes! Very good! Yes! I'm happy with that.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50So is that ?35 profit? Yeah!

0:22:50 > 0:22:52Yes, it's a good start, Anita!

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Oh, game on! Game on! Game on!

0:22:55 > 0:22:58This could be interesting.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01I've got some of this at home. I can't stand it!

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Clare's grandmother had it.

0:23:03 > 0:23:07?15. At ?15. 20 for the collection. 20 I'm bid.

0:23:07 > 0:23:1025 can I have? 25. 30. 5.

0:23:23 > 0:23:27Yes! Ah! That's amazing! I know, it is.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30You've doubled your money already. I know.

0:23:30 > 0:23:36Bodes well for the day. Next, the Chinese porcelain, with crack.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Can we start at ?20? For the two pieces together. 20 I'd bid.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43Thank you. 5. 30. 5. 40. ?35.

0:24:06 > 0:24:11Get in there. Well done, darling. That's a good start. A great start.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Are you ecstatic? Yes! Relieved.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17I think it could be one of those days.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Now, is Jonathan's amber a gamble?

0:24:20 > 0:24:25Can I have ?25 bid? ?25 for it, little seal. At ?25.

0:24:25 > 0:24:2830 on the net. 35. 40.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55At ?90. The bid's to my right at ?90 for the lot.

0:24:55 > 0:25:00Aw, I think you were a bit lucky there. A BIT lucky?

0:25:00 > 0:25:01But that was good.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03Yes, it almost got a bit stuck.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Now it's time for Anita's foot stool.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10Louis quinze... Style! Style. THEY LAUGH

0:25:41 > 0:25:45More of Anita's metal and Art Nouveau this time.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Isn't that beautiful?

0:25:47 > 0:25:50?20, can I say to start me off? 20 I have.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Someone's got a bit of a bargain.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09So far, no losses. All right. Fingers crossed, Johnny.

0:26:09 > 0:26:13Next up, Jonathan's cheapest purchase yet.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43I'm happier about that than anything else so far. Ah!

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Ha! And we're not even in Yorkshire.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49It's the battle of the watches. That's right!

0:26:49 > 0:26:53What can Anita's little gold bargain job do?

0:26:53 > 0:26:5630 bid. 35 on the internet.

0:26:56 > 0:26:5840. At ?35.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01At ?35 on the net. 40.

0:27:19 > 0:27:24Gentleman on my left under the balcony. 65! 70, sir?

0:27:24 > 0:27:25No. At ?65.

0:27:25 > 0:27:30A great find, Anita and a solid golden profit!

0:27:30 > 0:27:32JONATHAN SIGHS

0:27:32 > 0:27:35A hard act for Jonathan's watch to follow. Watch out!

0:27:35 > 0:27:39?35 to start. 40. At ?40. 45.

0:27:39 > 0:27:4145 in the balcony. 50.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44The bidding's coming in quickly.

0:27:44 > 0:27:4660 now. At ?55.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50The bid's in the balcony at ?55. Don't stop! 60 anywhere. Being sold.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54At ?55. Top left-hand side of the balcony. ?55.

0:27:54 > 0:27:55There we go!

0:27:55 > 0:27:59A bit disappointing that. Anita's won the watch fight.

0:27:59 > 0:28:03But this frantic adding up shows that Jonathan's still in with a chance.

0:28:03 > 0:28:08Now for his paintings. If they live up to Jonathan's expectations,

0:28:08 > 0:28:10he might just pip Anita today.

0:28:10 > 0:28:15This is your important lot. This is your important lot!

0:28:15 > 0:28:18We have ?50 bid for the pair of paintings.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20At ?50. At ?50. 5.

0:28:20 > 0:28:2460. 5. 70. 5. 80. 5. 90.

0:28:24 > 0:28:275. ?95 bid. 100. And 10.

0:28:27 > 0:28:3020. 130. You've got a phone bid. ..150. 160.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33Phone bid. 150 I'm bid. At 160.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37170. 180. There's a lot of interest in the room. 200.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39220. 240. No?

0:28:39 > 0:28:43220 in the doorway. Keep going! It's got to be worth more.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46At ?220. No? Shaking our heads here. We have 240.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49260. No? 240 then.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51Another bidder. You'll have it now at ?240.

0:28:51 > 0:28:57Lady seated to my right at ?240. Are we all finished at 240?

0:28:57 > 0:29:00You've doubled your money, so well spotted.

0:29:00 > 0:29:04And well done, my darling. Thank you very much. Good!

0:29:04 > 0:29:07So with that mighty profit, Jonathan is crowned

0:29:07 > 0:29:09this leg's winner!

0:29:09 > 0:29:12He began with ?235.34.

0:29:12 > 0:29:18And after paying auction costs, made a profit of ?191.40,

0:29:18 > 0:29:23leaving him with a respectable ?426.74.

0:29:24 > 0:29:29However, Anita started out with ?317.74

0:29:29 > 0:29:33and, although she made a smaller profit of ?128.10 after costs,

0:29:33 > 0:29:37her overall booty of ?445.84

0:29:37 > 0:29:40gives her a narrow lead on her rival overall.

0:29:40 > 0:29:43Well, Johnny, one auction each. Mm!

0:29:43 > 0:29:47So it's really all to play for, darling. It is all to play for.

0:29:47 > 0:29:51So, what's going to happen next? We'll see.

0:29:56 > 0:29:58And off we go again on the next leg,

0:29:58 > 0:30:01with Anita, Jonathan and their 1964 MG.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07It's chucking it down now! Yes!

0:30:07 > 0:30:10You stupid boy! You should put on your coat!

0:30:10 > 0:30:12You tell him, Anita!

0:30:13 > 0:30:15Our experts are travelling over 400 miles

0:30:15 > 0:30:19from the city of Glasgow all the way to Llangefni,

0:30:19 > 0:30:20on the island of Anglesey.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25They're beginning in the Yorkshire town of Middleham

0:30:25 > 0:30:28and will auction in Luddenden Foot, in Halifax.

0:30:31 > 0:30:35We continue our shopping expedition with the scurrying Anita.

0:30:35 > 0:30:40She has a whopping ?445.84.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42As a veteran Road Tripper,

0:30:42 > 0:30:44Anita has met many antiques dealers.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48Angela? Yes?

0:30:48 > 0:30:49Owner Angela is one of them.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51Hello?

0:30:52 > 0:30:55Hello, it's lovely to see you again.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57It's lovely to see you. And you.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00I've been before, but you've got tons of new stock.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02Absolutely lovely.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Now, I love these prints.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07They're beautiful and decorative.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09The images are so appealing.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13The frames are new, so they've been recently done.

0:31:13 > 0:31:19I'm hoping the prints are old, but they're not of high quality.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21But they're just so lovely to look at.

0:31:21 > 0:31:25I think these will be really appealing to the buyers.

0:31:25 > 0:31:26They're lovely.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31Anita wants them for ?40.

0:31:31 > 0:31:35Angela calls the owner of the prints to see if a deal can be done.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37Angela, how are we doing?

0:31:37 > 0:31:40She will let them go. Oh, she'll let them go!

0:31:40 > 0:31:43She's reluctant because now I've got to find another pair!

0:31:43 > 0:31:44Oh!

0:31:44 > 0:31:46I'll see what I can find.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48So 40 quid? Yes.

0:31:50 > 0:31:52And onwards we go.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54Anita's still in the mood for buying.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57I love this wee room, Angela.

0:31:57 > 0:31:59There's always wee treasures in here.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01Work in progress! Work in progress!

0:32:01 > 0:32:03I was looking at these fans here.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06It pulls out. Let's look at that one first of all.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09It's got little roses on it.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12That's very frou-frou. It is very, isn't it?

0:32:12 > 0:32:14Do I suit it?

0:32:14 > 0:32:17In a certain setting, perhaps. In a certain setting!

0:32:17 > 0:32:20Oh, look. One of its legs is a bit loose.

0:32:20 > 0:32:24These lovely fluffy feathers on this fan, in a rather shi-shi style,

0:32:24 > 0:32:28were commonly used by Burlesque dancers and showgirls to cover up their bits.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30Now you're talking!

0:32:31 > 0:32:32What sort of age is that?

0:32:32 > 0:32:36It's a bit difficult to define, really.

0:32:36 > 0:32:40I could say 1920s, I would think. Something like that. Or maybe a bit earlier.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42And these are more modern.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44I don't know.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47They do make a nice collection.

0:32:47 > 0:32:52And, of course, it looks so nice with your kid gloves.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55Yes, they are French kid gloves.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58They feel like the height of elegance.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01Make you feel good, don't they? Uh-huh.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05Anita decides she wants to go for a combo buy,

0:33:05 > 0:33:08consisting of the kid gloves, some glove stretchers

0:33:08 > 0:33:10and the selection of four fans.

0:33:10 > 0:33:14The original ticket price for the lot is ?70.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18What I would like to pay on that is probably ?30.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20Oh, no, no. No.

0:33:20 > 0:33:2245.

0:33:23 > 0:33:25Could you possibly come to 35? No.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27No? No. 45, and that's it.

0:33:30 > 0:33:3245?

0:33:32 > 0:33:34Could you go 40?

0:33:34 > 0:33:35Two.

0:33:35 > 0:33:37It's a deal!

0:33:37 > 0:33:39Oh, you're a great woman!

0:33:40 > 0:33:42You bargain like hell!

0:33:43 > 0:33:49So canny Scotswoman meets canny Yorkshire woman! Great deal, Anita!

0:33:49 > 0:33:52She's definitely on a shopping spree and she's found something else

0:33:52 > 0:33:55that's, well, unusual, I think you'll agree!

0:33:55 > 0:34:01Angela, this is one mad bird here

0:34:01 > 0:34:08talking to another mad bird about an absolutely mad bird! Absolutely!

0:34:08 > 0:34:11Er, I'm not saying a word!

0:34:11 > 0:34:13Will you sell that to me for a fiver?

0:34:13 > 0:34:17Will you sell it to me? I can't do it at a fiver. Sorry, I can't.

0:34:17 > 0:34:21I paid more for it. You did? Are you mad paying more than a fiver for that?

0:34:21 > 0:34:23No, cos I love it!

0:34:23 > 0:34:26It's a coconut. No, it would have to be a tenner.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29Hmm. I don't think this is what you'd call an antique, Anita.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31Springy, though!

0:34:31 > 0:34:33Give me a better price on it. Give me it for a fiver!

0:34:33 > 0:34:37No, it would have to be eight, so I can wipe my face.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39Let's go for eight quid. Thank you very much.

0:34:39 > 0:34:41We're probably mad!

0:34:41 > 0:34:45Yes... That's a packed bag of antiques for Anita's first shop.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47Now, where's that young whipper-snapper, Jonathan?

0:34:47 > 0:34:50He's got ?426.74 to splurge.

0:34:53 > 0:34:59He's braved the lashing rain to travel to the beautiful village of West Burton

0:34:59 > 0:35:02within the Yorkshire Dales.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07Right in the middle of the village lies the old smithy,

0:35:07 > 0:35:10an antique shop owned by the delectable Elaine.

0:35:10 > 0:35:15It's just stopped raining. Hello, there. This is the old smithy? Yes.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24This is quite cute.

0:35:24 > 0:35:28This is rather unusual. It's a decorative version of a child's potty!

0:35:30 > 0:35:36What I find alarming is you'd put a child on a pot, and it rocks! It had a seat on there as well.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38There we go!

0:35:38 > 0:35:41There was a seat on there at some time as well.

0:35:41 > 0:35:44It would have had a restraining bar as well.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47So you could sit them on it. It's a copy of Daddy's lambing chair.

0:35:47 > 0:35:53So Dad would have one. Often they had a drawer at the front as well.

0:35:53 > 0:35:54Would you take ?40 for it?

0:35:54 > 0:35:57Ooh, you're a hard man!

0:35:57 > 0:36:00I'm just going in on... Dearie me! I know, I know.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03It probably is 19th century.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06But elements are slightly more modern.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09Could I squeeze another tenner out of you?

0:36:09 > 0:36:12Come on, Jonathan. It's not that difficult!

0:36:12 > 0:36:15Make a decision. A number one or a number two?

0:36:15 > 0:36:17How about ?50?

0:36:17 > 0:36:1945?

0:36:22 > 0:36:24OK!

0:36:25 > 0:36:27Yeah, OK!

0:36:27 > 0:36:29I think Elaine wants you out of the shop, mate!

0:36:29 > 0:36:33But from a ticket price of ?75 to ?45,

0:36:33 > 0:36:36well done, Jonathan!

0:36:37 > 0:36:39And I'll tell you something.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41Jonathan is a thoroughly polite chap.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45He's picked Anita up to keep the wheels moving on our Road Trip adventure.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52# You are my sunshine

0:36:52 > 0:36:54# My little sunshine

0:36:54 > 0:36:58# You make me happy

0:36:58 > 0:37:00# When skies are grey... #

0:37:00 > 0:37:02Turn the volume down, Anita!

0:37:02 > 0:37:03Ooh!

0:37:03 > 0:37:04Oh, Jonny!

0:37:04 > 0:37:06What a scamp!

0:37:06 > 0:37:10Jonathan's travelled to Masham, North Yorkshire.

0:37:14 > 0:37:19He's continuing his shopping quest in Aura Antiques.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21It's always worth looking on the floor in a place like this,

0:37:21 > 0:37:24because sometimes the carpets are used as furnishing.

0:37:24 > 0:37:28They can sometimes have carpets which might be more valuable, one would hope.

0:37:28 > 0:37:32This is an Afghan. It's an Osari pattern.

0:37:32 > 0:37:36Oh, yeah? Maybe we should club together to get Jonathan a new pair of shoes, eh?

0:37:36 > 0:37:39Because it's this golden colour,

0:37:39 > 0:37:41they call it a golden Afghan.

0:37:41 > 0:37:42It's a nice colour.

0:37:42 > 0:37:47You've got a hint of red in there, which is washed-out slightly. But that would be quite fun.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49I don't know. I'll ask about it.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54The Afghan rug comes in many shapes and sizes,

0:37:54 > 0:37:58but the most typical is that with the octagonal elephant's footprint,

0:37:58 > 0:38:01which is what we see here in the design in the centre.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08I quite like these, because they're different,

0:38:08 > 0:38:13and there's loads of decanters, clear decanters and cut-glass ones,

0:38:13 > 0:38:17but it's just got that sort of hint of lime in it,

0:38:17 > 0:38:21which I suppose you could say is quite fashionable.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23And they are late 19th century.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27Bit of fun.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30OK.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32Well, he's certainly got his eye on a few things.

0:38:32 > 0:38:35And now he's found an 18th-century plate rack.

0:38:35 > 0:38:36As you do!

0:38:37 > 0:38:40There's no price on this, which is always a good start.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42He's obviously waiting for a dresser to go with it.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45Or maybe the dresser's being restored.

0:38:46 > 0:38:50But these are sort of popular. Useful in the kitchen.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Hmm.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01Oh, no! I was doing so well!

0:39:04 > 0:39:07Jonathan, get a grip, and go and strike a deal with owner Robert.

0:39:07 > 0:39:11The total asking price for the rug, the decanters and the plate rack

0:39:11 > 0:39:13is ?135.

0:39:13 > 0:39:14Go, boy, go!

0:39:14 > 0:39:16Would you take 100 quid?

0:39:17 > 0:39:19115.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22105?

0:39:23 > 0:39:25110!

0:39:25 > 0:39:27Was that where I was aiming?

0:39:27 > 0:39:29110 quid. That would be...

0:39:29 > 0:39:33In your own time, Jonathan, eh?

0:39:33 > 0:39:34Go on, then.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36That's three items bought. I can go home now.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39Thank you very much.

0:39:39 > 0:39:40I can stop now!

0:39:40 > 0:39:42Finally, we make a decision

0:39:42 > 0:39:47and managed to shave a little off the ticket prices.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49Back together again, Anita and Jonathan

0:39:49 > 0:39:51are ready for more shopping.

0:39:54 > 0:39:58Anita and Jonathan have travelled to the ancient walled city of York.

0:40:01 > 0:40:06And even though it's raining, our antiques duo are in high spirits.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09BOTH: # I'm just singing in the rain

0:40:09 > 0:40:13# What a glorious feeling

0:40:13 > 0:40:17# I'm ha-ha-happy again. #

0:40:17 > 0:40:20Oh, look, York Minster! Oh, is it really?

0:40:20 > 0:40:26Founded by the Romans in 71 AD, the city has a rich heritage,

0:40:26 > 0:40:30and also Dame Judi Dench was born here, dontcha know.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33Blimey, Anita's got her hands full with young Jonathan, look.

0:40:33 > 0:40:34Ah...

0:40:34 > 0:40:36Oh, Lordy!

0:40:36 > 0:40:41You were trying to shove me in the puddle. You're a bad boy!

0:40:42 > 0:40:48Thankfully, Anita has escaped the clutches of Jonathan and she's found her next shop.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51# She's a lady

0:40:51 > 0:40:54# Wo-oh-oh, she's a lady

0:40:55 > 0:40:58# Talkin' about a little lady

0:40:59 > 0:41:04# And the lady is mine. #

0:41:04 > 0:41:10Anita simply lovely jewellery, you know, and has asked owner Clare about a sparkly brooch.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13It's not gold. I was hoping that it was gold!

0:41:13 > 0:41:16Right. Yes. But I knew it wouldn't be at ?12. Yes.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18But it is gold-plated.

0:41:18 > 0:41:23But I can see a wee bit of quality at the back. It's not a cheap piece.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28Purple's always a popular colour, isn't it?

0:41:28 > 0:41:31Yeah. For amethyst glass.

0:41:33 > 0:41:37What I'd like to be paying for that is about ?8.

0:41:37 > 0:41:38Can that be done?

0:41:38 > 0:41:40What was it, 12 on the ticket?

0:41:40 > 0:41:45If I could meet you somewhere in between. Maybe 9, would that be OK?

0:41:45 > 0:41:49We'll go for that. Yeah. Let's go for it. That's smashing.

0:41:49 > 0:41:52Splendid work, Anita. It's enough to make you sing, girl.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55# Gloria! #

0:41:55 > 0:41:59Jonathan is visiting one of the most spectacular buildings in Britain.

0:41:59 > 0:42:00# Gloria!

0:42:05 > 0:42:07# Gloria! Gloria!

0:42:07 > 0:42:09# Gloria! #

0:42:09 > 0:42:11The iconic York Minster

0:42:11 > 0:42:15is the second-largest Gothic cathedral in northern Europe.

0:42:17 > 0:42:21Approximately two million individual pieces of glass

0:42:21 > 0:42:26make up the cathedral's 128 stained glass windows.

0:42:27 > 0:42:31Due to the age and sheer magnitude of York Minster,

0:42:31 > 0:42:37there are over 50 people working on restoration projects connected with this wonderful building.

0:42:39 > 0:42:44Jonathan is meeting with Rebecca Thompson, the lady in charge of them.

0:42:46 > 0:42:5126 stonemasons are employed to carry out careful restoration work.

0:42:51 > 0:42:57They train for four years to hone this exquisite craft.

0:42:57 > 0:43:00The restoration work on the Minster's Great East Window

0:43:00 > 0:43:05is the largest project and began in 2008.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07The masonry is painstakingly cleaned

0:43:07 > 0:43:10and, where needed, restored or replaced.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12I hope Jonathan has a head for heights!

0:43:15 > 0:43:19Well, Jonathan, this is the tracery of the Great East Window.

0:43:19 > 0:43:24We've cleaned the stone and identified where we need new stone putting in.

0:43:24 > 0:43:28That will all start to be fixed in the next week or two.

0:43:28 > 0:43:33And then we are conserving and consolidating these original carvings

0:43:33 > 0:43:37around the window, the stones round the window,

0:43:37 > 0:43:39and we've had to put new stones in,

0:43:39 > 0:43:42the weathering stones that you can see to the side,

0:43:42 > 0:43:45and they actually keep the water, weather, moisture, off the stones

0:43:45 > 0:43:48but give it a fine balance.

0:43:48 > 0:43:52It's quite amazing that where we are, 30 metres in the air,

0:43:52 > 0:43:56that they were doing the same thing,

0:43:56 > 0:43:59600, 700 years ago,

0:43:59 > 0:44:01and they'd have a wooden scaffold

0:44:01 > 0:44:03and they'd have to hand-lift everything up here.

0:44:03 > 0:44:08Well, no, they didn't. They did actually have lifting mechanisms.

0:44:08 > 0:44:11They had like a hamster wheel mechanism, medieval masons.

0:44:11 > 0:44:14With people running inside it? Yes, people running inside it!

0:44:14 > 0:44:17They must have been very intelligent to build a building like this.

0:44:17 > 0:44:19It's incredible, the engineering.

0:44:24 > 0:44:28So this is where our stonemasons work, in the stonemasons' lodge.

0:44:28 > 0:44:34You can see Nolan and Jamie masoning some tracery stones

0:44:34 > 0:44:35at the moment. OK.

0:44:35 > 0:44:40And this is a reproduction of a sort of medieval... Yes.

0:44:40 > 0:44:42They would have worked in places like this

0:44:42 > 0:44:46very close to the site of the restoration they were doing

0:44:46 > 0:44:49or the new-build works they were doing at the time.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51These are old tracery stones they're working on.

0:44:51 > 0:44:54We'll start fixing the tracery stones next week.

0:44:54 > 0:44:58You can see here a stone that's nearly finished, this piece.

0:44:58 > 0:45:05And next to it, we've got a piece of shaft stone from the north quire restoration works.

0:45:05 > 0:45:08Part of these big pillars? Yes. That's right.

0:45:08 > 0:45:12You can see the moulding. That's a slice through from the outside of the windows.

0:45:12 > 0:45:17And what we'd like to do is give this to you

0:45:17 > 0:45:19to auction it off.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22We have got a certificate of authenticity to show it comes from the Minster.

0:45:22 > 0:45:24Oh, right! Wonderful.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26It's a tempting thought,

0:45:26 > 0:45:29but the good lad wants to make an offer.

0:45:29 > 0:45:30If I give you a tenner, that'll be OK, will it?

0:45:30 > 0:45:33Absolutely fine. Brilliant. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35A tenner well spent, young man.

0:45:35 > 0:45:38Interesting to see how it fares at auction.

0:45:40 > 0:45:42Now, where's Anita?

0:45:44 > 0:45:47She's made her way to the village of Huntingdon,

0:45:47 > 0:45:50just a few miles from the city of York.

0:45:50 > 0:45:52She's a chip off the old block.

0:45:52 > 0:45:54She's on a mission to find some more antiques

0:45:54 > 0:45:56in the French House.

0:45:56 > 0:45:59As you can guess, the wares have a distinct Gallic flavour.

0:45:59 > 0:46:01C'est magnifique!

0:46:03 > 0:46:06Stephen points Anita in the right direction.

0:46:06 > 0:46:10That would fit in the corner of any room or hallway

0:46:10 > 0:46:15to take a vase, a lamp or whatever, if you like them.

0:46:15 > 0:46:19I do like them. This sort of leaf shape here and a little bead.

0:46:19 > 0:46:22They're all carved. Uh-huh.

0:46:22 > 0:46:25And the marble's in good condition as well.

0:46:25 > 0:46:28All depends on the price, though, Stephen.

0:46:28 > 0:46:30Absolute best would be ?40 for the two.

0:46:30 > 0:46:32I like those, Stephen. I think those are great.

0:46:32 > 0:46:38I think that at ?40, you've got a deal. Good.

0:46:38 > 0:46:39Thank you so much. Pleasure.

0:46:39 > 0:46:40That's the shopping over.

0:46:40 > 0:46:44Let's have a quick reminder of how they've been spending their cash.

0:46:46 > 0:46:51Jonathan Pratt started this leg with ?426.74

0:46:51 > 0:46:54and spent ?165 on five auction lots.

0:46:57 > 0:47:01Anita Manning began with ?445.84

0:47:01 > 0:47:04and spent ?139 also on five lots.

0:47:06 > 0:47:09Go on, tell us what you're thinking about one another's buys, then.

0:47:11 > 0:47:16My favourite piece is that big lump of York Minster.

0:47:16 > 0:47:21And I think the certificate is worth even more than ?10.

0:47:21 > 0:47:23Anita's lots are barking mad, aren't they?

0:47:23 > 0:47:26She came up with a coconut with a spring for a head!

0:47:26 > 0:47:28But cheap.

0:47:32 > 0:47:35Let's get back on the road and head to auction.

0:47:35 > 0:47:38It's been a competitive third leg,

0:47:38 > 0:47:42starting in Middleham via West Burton, Masham, Ripon,

0:47:42 > 0:47:46York, Huntingdon, with the final destination in Luddenden Foot

0:47:46 > 0:47:48in Halifax on the horizon.

0:47:51 > 0:47:56Calder Valley auctioneers has been established here since 1996.

0:47:56 > 0:47:59Ian Peace is our auctioneer for today.

0:47:59 > 0:48:02Not only do we have a packed saleroom,

0:48:02 > 0:48:05but we also have an audience live on the web.

0:48:05 > 0:48:07All eyes to the front now.

0:48:08 > 0:48:12First up, it's Anita's matching pair of prints.

0:48:12 > 0:48:16You've got to make some money today, cos I'm snapping at your heels!

0:48:18 > 0:48:19?10. 10?

0:48:19 > 0:48:21The pair. 10.

0:48:22 > 0:48:2410 I'm bid. 12.50 anywhere?

0:48:25 > 0:48:2712.50. 15.

0:48:27 > 0:48:3017.50. ?20.

0:48:30 > 0:48:3222.50.

0:48:32 > 0:48:35?22.50. Oh, come on, come on! Come on!

0:48:35 > 0:48:3825, you're back in. 25. 7.50.

0:48:38 > 0:48:39?30.

0:48:39 > 0:48:43At 30. We're selling at ?30.

0:48:43 > 0:48:44All finished? And at 2.50 there.

0:48:44 > 0:48:47Yes! Yes!

0:48:47 > 0:48:4932.50, then. Back of the room.

0:48:49 > 0:48:51Are we all finished at 32.50?

0:48:52 > 0:48:54SHE GROANS

0:48:54 > 0:48:55Oh, dear.

0:48:55 > 0:48:58I think Anita finds that result more than a little painful!

0:49:00 > 0:49:02Very disappointing. That was my star lot.

0:49:04 > 0:49:08Next up it's Jonathan's hulking big plate rack.

0:49:09 > 0:49:10?20.

0:49:11 > 0:49:12?20?

0:49:12 > 0:49:14Oh, dear.

0:49:14 > 0:49:16It's 18th century. I know it's 18th century!

0:49:16 > 0:49:19Don't believe a word he says!

0:49:19 > 0:49:22Come on. ?15, that plate rack there.

0:49:22 > 0:49:24?15.

0:49:24 > 0:49:25Ooh, my word.

0:49:25 > 0:49:28?10. This could cause disappointment. 10 I'm bid.

0:49:28 > 0:49:31?10. At 10. 12.50 anywhere?

0:49:31 > 0:49:33At 10. 12.50.

0:49:33 > 0:49:3615, sir. 15. We're going in the right direction. 15.

0:49:36 > 0:49:37Slowly!

0:49:37 > 0:49:40At ?15. 17.50.

0:49:40 > 0:49:42?20.

0:49:42 > 0:49:43At 20.

0:49:43 > 0:49:46At ?20 I'm bid. 2.50.

0:49:46 > 0:49:48Well done. You're helping the cause.

0:49:48 > 0:49:5122.50 At 22.50.

0:49:51 > 0:49:52Anybody else now?

0:49:52 > 0:49:54At ?22.50.

0:49:56 > 0:49:58That's even worse than my prints!

0:49:58 > 0:50:00Yeah, exactly.

0:50:00 > 0:50:03Nothing like rubbing it in, Anita!

0:50:03 > 0:50:06Not a good start for either of our experts.

0:50:07 > 0:50:11Next it's Anita's intriguing ladies' lot.

0:50:11 > 0:50:12Lot 75.

0:50:12 > 0:50:15The French kid gloves, gloves stretchers,

0:50:15 > 0:50:19ostrich feather, et cetera!

0:50:19 > 0:50:22Where are you going to start me? ?20?

0:50:22 > 0:50:2315.

0:50:23 > 0:50:2615? 10 anywhere? 10 I'm bid.

0:50:26 > 0:50:28At 10. Wow!

0:50:28 > 0:50:32And 12. 14. 16.

0:50:32 > 0:50:3316 in the third row.

0:50:33 > 0:50:36At 16. Anybody else, now?

0:50:36 > 0:50:37?16. (Come on! Come on!)

0:50:38 > 0:50:41We've come to a grinding halt at 16.

0:50:42 > 0:50:44Here we go. Chuck 'em over there.

0:50:45 > 0:50:49Just goes to show that modelling the fans didn't help.

0:50:49 > 0:50:52Another crushing loss, Anita.

0:50:52 > 0:50:54We're not doing very well here, are we?

0:50:54 > 0:50:56Just a loss on that one.

0:50:56 > 0:50:58Never a truer word, Anita.

0:50:58 > 0:51:02It's Jonathan's Afghan rug next.

0:51:02 > 0:51:04?50? 40?

0:51:04 > 0:51:0630? It's a lovely rug.

0:51:06 > 0:51:09Good size. 20, anywhere? ?20?

0:51:09 > 0:51:11Come on, ladies and gentlemen. ?20.

0:51:11 > 0:51:13It'll roll up and go in the car no problem.

0:51:13 > 0:51:1520 I'm bid there. 5 do I see?

0:51:15 > 0:51:19The Afghan rug at ?20. Put the dog on it.

0:51:19 > 0:51:21I'm selling at 20.

0:51:21 > 0:51:23Hard luck, darling.

0:51:23 > 0:51:26It's a tough crowd, isn't it?

0:51:26 > 0:51:28A tough crowd today.

0:51:29 > 0:51:32Oh, Lordy. Surely things have got to pick up?

0:51:34 > 0:51:37Uh-oh! I don't think I can look!

0:51:37 > 0:51:41It's Anita's coconut bird with the springy neck next.

0:51:41 > 0:51:45Jonathan, this bird is going to fly!

0:51:45 > 0:51:47That's confidence. Yes!

0:51:47 > 0:51:49Now, then, the star lot of the sale!

0:51:49 > 0:51:52Star lot! It's beautiful!

0:51:53 > 0:51:56It's been sculpted out of metal and a coconut.

0:51:56 > 0:51:58Right. 20 anywhere? 20? Yes!

0:51:58 > 0:52:0010?

0:52:00 > 0:52:02?10? Surely not.

0:52:02 > 0:52:045? Surely not. Come on!

0:52:04 > 0:52:06Don't be embarrassed!

0:52:06 > 0:52:08Thank you!

0:52:08 > 0:52:11Find a carrier bag! ?5 I'm bid.

0:52:11 > 0:52:125. 7.50 anywhere?

0:52:12 > 0:52:14?5. 7.50.

0:52:14 > 0:52:187.50. A wonderful conversation piece at dinner parties.

0:52:18 > 0:52:207.50. 10 anywhere?

0:52:20 > 0:52:2210. Yes! 12.50.

0:52:22 > 0:52:24Yes! 12.50. Come on. 12.50.

0:52:24 > 0:52:26It's worth more. 15.

0:52:26 > 0:52:28?15.

0:52:28 > 0:52:3115. Don't lose it. You won't see another one!

0:52:31 > 0:52:33You won't want to!

0:52:33 > 0:52:35Ever. 16!

0:52:35 > 0:52:38No, we're going in 2.50's. All right, 16, then.

0:52:38 > 0:52:4016. 16, when I'm desperate.

0:52:40 > 0:52:4117.

0:52:41 > 0:52:4318. 19.

0:52:43 > 0:52:4519. Yes!

0:52:45 > 0:52:46Keep it nodding.

0:52:46 > 0:52:48?20. 21.

0:52:48 > 0:52:5021. 22. Keep it nodding.

0:52:52 > 0:52:54Anybody else now? Has it run out of steam?

0:52:54 > 0:52:55At ?22.

0:52:57 > 0:52:59Yes!

0:53:02 > 0:53:05?22,

0:53:05 > 0:53:07Jonny-boy!

0:53:07 > 0:53:10Well, who would have thought our first profit of the day

0:53:10 > 0:53:12would belong to the nodding bird?

0:53:12 > 0:53:16Yes, yes. Make it go away now!

0:53:16 > 0:53:18Boing!

0:53:18 > 0:53:20That bird flew!

0:53:21 > 0:53:22And it wasn't cheap!

0:53:24 > 0:53:26Excuse me, that's MY joke, Anita.

0:53:27 > 0:53:30Now it's Anita's brooch next.

0:53:30 > 0:53:34Can she get another splurge of profit?

0:53:34 > 0:53:3615 to open. ?15. ?15.

0:53:36 > 0:53:38Yes, come on.

0:53:38 > 0:53:3912?

0:53:39 > 0:53:4112 I'm bid. At 12.

0:53:41 > 0:53:4314. Thank you. 16.

0:53:43 > 0:53:4518. 20.

0:53:45 > 0:53:4722. 24. 26.

0:53:47 > 0:53:4928. 30.

0:53:49 > 0:53:51Oh, yes! 32. 34.

0:53:51 > 0:53:5336. 38.

0:53:53 > 0:53:5640. 42. What?!

0:53:56 > 0:53:5844. 46.

0:53:58 > 0:54:0048. 50.

0:54:00 > 0:54:02At ?50 in the front row.

0:54:02 > 0:54:05Anybody else now? ?50. We're selling at 50.

0:54:05 > 0:54:07First and last time.

0:54:07 > 0:54:09Lot 85.

0:54:09 > 0:54:11Anita certainly knows her jewellery.

0:54:11 > 0:54:13What an excellent profit.

0:54:13 > 0:54:16She's well and truly back in the game.

0:54:16 > 0:54:18Gee whizz!

0:54:18 > 0:54:21You're in overall profit at the moment.

0:54:21 > 0:54:24It's Jonathan's turn next, with the pair of decanters.

0:54:24 > 0:54:27Show us what you're made of, boy.

0:54:27 > 0:54:30Opening at ?15, then. 15 I'm bid.

0:54:30 > 0:54:32At 15. 17.50.

0:54:32 > 0:54:3420. 2.50.

0:54:34 > 0:54:3625?

0:54:36 > 0:54:38At ?22.50 in the middle there.

0:54:38 > 0:54:41Anybody else now? 25 back in.

0:54:41 > 0:54:4327.50?

0:54:43 > 0:54:45The pair. At 27.50.

0:54:45 > 0:54:4727.50.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49At... ?30, madam.

0:54:49 > 0:54:51Yes!

0:54:51 > 0:54:5330. 32.50.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55At ?32.50.

0:54:55 > 0:54:58They're flying! At ?32.50 for the pair.

0:54:58 > 0:55:0032.50, then.

0:55:01 > 0:55:05I can barely contain myself. Well done, Jonathan. Well done.

0:55:05 > 0:55:07Ah, bless him.

0:55:07 > 0:55:10Jonathan has finally managed some profit.

0:55:10 > 0:55:12I'm flying backwards at the moment.

0:55:12 > 0:55:15You made a good profit there.

0:55:15 > 0:55:16And you've got two other items to go.

0:55:16 > 0:55:19Don't be downhearted, darling.

0:55:19 > 0:55:22Have you ever thought of taking up counselling? You're very good!

0:55:22 > 0:55:26Very good. Just call me Auntie!

0:55:26 > 0:55:29Auntie Anita is very supportive.

0:55:29 > 0:55:32But will he need more counselling after this little number,

0:55:32 > 0:55:36the child's potty chair, sends you potty?

0:55:36 > 0:55:4050. 40. 30. Opening at ?20.

0:55:40 > 0:55:42?20. Got to be more than 20.

0:55:42 > 0:55:4420 I'm bid. Yes. At 20.

0:55:44 > 0:55:46Anybody else now? 22.50.

0:55:46 > 0:55:4825. 7.50.

0:55:48 > 0:55:50?30.

0:55:50 > 0:55:5232.50. 35.

0:55:52 > 0:55:55Keep going. Keep going. Keep going.

0:55:55 > 0:55:58Any further bids? ?35, then.

0:55:58 > 0:55:59First and last time.

0:56:01 > 0:56:04That's another tenner down the old Swanee.

0:56:04 > 0:56:08It's not a good day for Jonathan.

0:56:08 > 0:56:11It could have been worse, Jonny. It could have been worse.

0:56:12 > 0:56:15Not much! Anyway, now it's Anita,

0:56:15 > 0:56:19with her pair of marble corner shelves.

0:56:19 > 0:56:2010 for the two. ?10.

0:56:21 > 0:56:2310 I'm bid. Thank you. ?10.

0:56:23 > 0:56:2612 anywhere? At 10. It's not going to go there.

0:56:26 > 0:56:29Any further hands? 12, madam. 12.

0:56:29 > 0:56:3214. 16.

0:56:32 > 0:56:3518. ?18.

0:56:35 > 0:56:37All finished? At ?18, then.

0:56:39 > 0:56:42That's a bit disappointing, that.

0:56:42 > 0:56:45Disappointing, indeed, Anita.

0:56:45 > 0:56:48I thought you were on a roll, there.

0:56:49 > 0:56:51Now for the final lot of the day.

0:56:51 > 0:56:53Jonathan's lump of stone

0:56:53 > 0:56:55from his visit to York Minster.

0:56:55 > 0:56:57You're going to have to get about 300 quid

0:56:57 > 0:56:59for this big dod of York Minster!

0:57:01 > 0:57:02?20.

0:57:02 > 0:57:0515. ?15.

0:57:05 > 0:57:07Start me at 10. ?10. Thank you.

0:57:07 > 0:57:09Yes. I've got ?10 in.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11At ?10.

0:57:11 > 0:57:1212.50.

0:57:12 > 0:57:1512.50. 15.

0:57:15 > 0:57:1617.50.

0:57:16 > 0:57:1820. 2.50.

0:57:19 > 0:57:20Yes! ?22.50.

0:57:20 > 0:57:24At 22.50. Any further bids? At 22.50.

0:57:27 > 0:57:29Well, I don't think he can believe it.

0:57:29 > 0:57:32Lovely York Minster has served up a respectable profit.

0:57:34 > 0:57:37Shall we go away and try and work out quite what the losses are?

0:57:41 > 0:57:46Jonathan started this leg with ?426.74

0:57:46 > 0:57:47and, after paying auction costs,

0:57:47 > 0:57:50made a loss of ?56.35,

0:57:50 > 0:57:54giving him ?370.39 to carry forward.

0:57:59 > 0:58:03Anita, meanwhile, started with ?445.84

0:58:03 > 0:58:08and, after auction costs, also made a loss, of ?25.43.

0:58:08 > 0:58:09Despite this,

0:58:09 > 0:58:11Anita is this leg's winner

0:58:11 > 0:58:15and has ?420.41 to take forward.

0:58:15 > 0:58:17Well done, girl!

0:58:18 > 0:58:20Ah, well. Better luck next time, Jonny.

0:58:20 > 0:58:22Still two auctions to go.
