0:00:01 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antique experts with £200 each...
0:00:05 > 0:00:07I love that!
0:00:07 > 0:00:10..a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Yippee!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14I want pieces that could fly.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15The aim?
0:00:15 > 0:00:19To 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.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Hello, ladies.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:30But there is nobody bidding!
0:00:30 > 0:00:33This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Today, it's the final chapter in our road trip adventure with
0:00:41 > 0:00:45boisterous antiques experts Mark Stacey and Paul Laidlaw.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Muahaha!
0:00:48 > 0:00:50You really ought to go into pantomime.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51I'll see you there.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Touche!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Mark Stacey is an antique dealer who demonstrates
0:00:58 > 0:01:00he is a man of many talents.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05I mean, this is going to look like I'm pole dancing or something.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09And on this road trip adventure, he really knows his priorities.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Mine is normally quite strong tea.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12OK, any sugar?
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- One sugar, darling, please. - One sugar, right.
0:01:15 > 0:01:21This is auctioneer Paul Laidlaw and he's just a big boy at heart.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22I've got to wave.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26TRAIN WHISTLES
0:01:26 > 0:01:30And he gets very excited when he finds that special something.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Mark has made some steady profits at auction.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41But Paul is flying high with profit...
0:01:41 > 0:01:43after profit...
0:01:43 > 0:01:44after profit.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50After four auctions, Mark has made progress,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53but it's more pennies than pounds.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56From his original £200,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00he has a piffling £366.26 to splurge.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06But the jubilant fourth-time winner, Paul Laidlaw,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09is leaping ahead with a plentiful supply of riches.
0:02:09 > 0:02:16From his original £200, he has a delicious £782.04.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18It's true!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21And the boys will be making their final road trip
0:02:21 > 0:02:23in the Sunbeam Alpine GT.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Is there life after this week, Mark? How will I cope without you?
0:02:28 > 0:02:32I'm not sure. I think I will try a go without you, Paul.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- You'll get morose, I'm telling you.- I will.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- You'll be like a Greyfriars Bobby. - I will.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Do you know? I'll waste away.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43PAUL LAUGHS
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Mark and Paul are journeying over 300 miles from Sabden,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49in Lancashire, all the way south
0:02:49 > 0:02:50to Bridgwater, in Somerset.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54On today's show, first stop is the former seafaring city
0:02:54 > 0:02:59of Bristol and they'll auction, in the Somerset town of Bridgwater.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Bristol is the birthplace of Archie Leach,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07otherwise known as Hollywood darling Cary Grant.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Paul, Paul Laidlaw. - Deary me, what have I done now?
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- Well, it's what you're about to do. - What?- Shopping, isn't it?- Oh, yes.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I had you worried there for a minute. Yeah!
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Paul is dropping Mark off in this fair city for a date with
0:03:25 > 0:03:28an exceptional maritime landmark.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30We'll catch up with Mark later.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- See you later! - Go away from my ship!
0:03:33 > 0:03:35PAUL LAUGHS
0:03:35 > 0:03:39But first, Paul is motoring 24 miles south
0:03:39 > 0:03:41to Pylle, near Shepton Mallet,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43to begin his shopping mission.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49And Pylle Emporium And Gallery is Paul's first shop of the day.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- Hello.- Good morning.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Are you Tony?- I am Tony. - I'm Paul, good to see you.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Paul has the stealth of a puma when hunting antiques.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Looks like he's found some possible prey.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Wristwatch.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Enamelled face, silver case. Why am I looking at it?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12It's all pretty dull, isn't it?
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Well... The label tells me that it is 1917.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22These were favoured by and sold to...
0:04:23 > 0:04:26..Army personnel serving in the trenches during the First World War.
0:04:26 > 0:04:33And these have attracted over the last few years the term trench watch.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Asking price, £40.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39But it's a good buy given that it's in running order.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42And to be quite honest with you, on occasion, I wear such watches.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I think they are really super cool.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Never mind your big, blingy sports watches.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51That is a gentleman's wristwatch.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55What do you think? I love it!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59And something else comes under the Laidlaw radar.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I'm looking at something that is way above average.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14You have got a mahogany turned and carved column
0:05:14 > 0:05:18of no mean quality
0:05:18 > 0:05:22on four little cabriole legs, we'll call them.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28But I am loving the fact that it purports to be a late
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Victorian standard oil lamp converted to electricity who knows when,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34whether it was done in 1910, 1920 or whether it was done recently,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I have no idea. I don't think it is a made-up piece.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39The price tag is not offensive.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42To be quite honest with you, if I were looking for it, at £95,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I wouldn't be quibbling.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50So firstly, Paul asks Tony, the owner, for a price on the watch.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52The best I could do would be 35.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54And then a price for the lamp.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Tony, that's it there, in the corner.- We could do it for 70.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03- 70, is it?- 70 it is.- Nothing in the middle, no more?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06You can squeeze me for five pounds more, that's all.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Well, if 65 is the best you can do on that,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- is 35 the best you can do on the watch?- Yes.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Not another fiver I can squeeze off that and sweeten the whole thing
0:06:16 > 0:06:17and I'll buy two things?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I don't know.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Uh... Well, I'd like a sale, I suppose.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Do you want to do it?- Yep.- Thank you very much. Good man, Tony.- OK.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Phew! That was a big tricky, Paul. But your perseverance paid off.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Excellent start to the day.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42While Paul has been getting his sleeves rolled up shopping, Mark
0:06:42 > 0:06:44is stepping aboard Bristol's nautical jewel,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46the SS Great Britain.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49This revolutionary ship was the brainchild of 19th century
0:06:49 > 0:06:53engineering giant Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58At the time of her launch in 1843,
0:06:58 > 0:07:02the SS Great Britain was the largest ship in the world.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04She was the first screw-propelled,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08ocean-going, iron-hulled, steam vessel.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12She became the model of modern ocean liners.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16With a capacity of 252 passengers and 130 crew,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19she was full of innovation and marked the dawning
0:07:19 > 0:07:23of international passenger travel and world communications.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Now a museum open to the public,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Mark is meeting with Matthew Tanner,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32the director of the SS Great Britain.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Yes, the Great Britain is Brunel's masterpiece.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38It is really the world's first great ocean steamship.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40She's been called the great-great-great-grandmother
0:07:40 > 0:07:42of virtually every ship afloat today.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43This is the first big one.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46She was by far the biggest thing ever built in 1843,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- and she was built in this very dock in Bristol.- Oh, wow!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- So, a really strong connection to Bristol?- Absolutely.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54The dock was made to build the ship.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58In 1852, the SS Great Britain set sail to Australia
0:07:58 > 0:08:00for the first time,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03carrying hundreds of immigrants and gold seekers.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06With this great ship on the route to Melbourne from Liverpool,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08you could get there in about 60 days.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Which is very fast.- Very fast.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Sailing ships could take about 100 days.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15And you were probably going to be alive when you got there,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- which is something we completely take for granted today.- Yes.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Accommodation was split into first, second and third class.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Matthew gives Mark a tour.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- This is the first class promenade deck from the 1840s.- Wow.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33So, they would have socialized here?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Would they have played games, talked to each other?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39It's one big central room with cabins off each side.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41It is illuminated by these great skylights.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43And the luggage would have been stacked here?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Yes, a lot of luggage will be in the hold.- Right.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48But you need some luggage on a day-to-day basis.
0:08:48 > 0:08:54- Of course you do.- And cabins off each side. Come and have a look.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57So, these are the first class cabins.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Each cabin has two bunks in it. - They are very tight, Matthew.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04That's partly so you don't fall out of them. You are wedged in tightly.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07And often they would sleep on deck if it was hot.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09This is a double cabin.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Oh, so this is for a family. - That's right.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15But that's actually quite nice, you have little seats you can sit
0:09:15 > 0:09:16on and play with the children.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19If you can manage the mal de mer, seasickness, of course.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Oh, yes, a major issue.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Here's the bathroom.- Oh, wow.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- This is for the crew, is it? - This is for passengers.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Oh, this is for passengers?!
0:09:31 > 0:09:35So, everyone from first class would use this one bath?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- That's right, but this is luxury. - It is luxury, I suppose,
0:09:38 > 0:09:39at that time, wasn't it?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44From the Spartan luxury of first-class,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46what about the poor folks in third class?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- So, all life was here really? - That's right.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54The diaries and letters of the passengers that sailed out
0:09:54 > 0:09:56to Australia in this space are full
0:09:56 > 0:09:58of the wonders of all the people around them,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01but also the fighting and the flirting and the gambling.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04And families would be packed in here, too.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07We have some great diaries which actually sketch all of this area.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08- Oh, really?- Who was in which bunk.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10So a really good insight on how it was laid out.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13We re-created this space precisely according to that.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Fantastic, isn't it?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Sadly, we must leave Mark and the world of ocean liners.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23And now, what's that Paul Laidlaw up to?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Well, he is travelling from Pylle
0:10:27 > 0:10:31to Somerton, for his next shopping expedition.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Man, what an adventure! So, yeah, look, all positive.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38We'll see what we can pull out of the hat this time, yeah?
0:10:38 > 0:10:43And it is a glorious day of sunshine as Paul arrives.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49After a scat about, he's found something he rather fancies.
0:10:49 > 0:10:55As far as I'm concerned, that is an early 19th century,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I hope silver, that remains to be seen,
0:10:58 > 0:11:03cream jug. The form is termed a helmet form.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06And you're thinking to yourself, it doesn't look like a tin hat.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10But if you picture it like that, it bears a resemblance to
0:11:10 > 0:11:14certainly cavalry helmets that were worn
0:11:14 > 0:11:18in the early 19th century. This is 1820, 1830.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- Andrew, do we know who owns this? - Yeah, I can deal with that.- Can you?
0:11:23 > 0:11:24- Yeah.- Well,
0:11:24 > 0:11:29- it's priced at £36.- Mm-hm.- Um...
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Does it have to be £36?- No.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36I can do you a good bit of trade on that. How does 25 sound?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38No point in beating around the bush with a price like that.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- It's a deal, man.- You've got a deal. Thank you.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44And again, he is never content with finding one thing.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48The search for the next goodie continues.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51That is a handsome piece of wood.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54It is a press.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Books, certainly an option, but I daresay
0:11:58 > 0:12:01it could also have been used in a domestic setting
0:12:01 > 0:12:02for pressing textiles.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07That's George III. That is 200 year old if it is a day.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11The density of the timber, the richness of that colour
0:12:11 > 0:12:12and the workmanship,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15and then this hand-cut thread here.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Andrew comes over for Paul's second stab at negotiation.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Go on then, what are you trying? - I'm trying to get that slaughtered.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- I want that for ten or 20 quid. - Ten or 20 quid?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Crikey, he doesn't mince his words, does he?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I can do that for 30 quid.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33£30, sweet as a nut. Thanks, Andrew. Excellent.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39Paul's on top form today. That is four for the swag bag.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Meanwhile, Mark is still in sunny Bristol
0:12:43 > 0:12:46and he has found an antique shop to have a forage in.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Well, well, well.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53This shop is so crammed with antiques there is barely enough room
0:12:53 > 0:12:56to swing a cat. Meow.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Michael, what are those in the cabinet over there?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- Are they polar bears? - They are polar bears.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06And they are from the days of the showgrounds from the 40s, 50s.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08They were given as prizes.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11But you had to win a lot of prizes to get one of those.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15I don't ever remember, and I worked on the shows, ever one being given.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Gosh, it is rather tricky to see those polar bears.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I'd love you to get them out and show me.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Oh, well done, Mark.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26But I'm going to go outside because I can't look.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- All right?- If you hear a crash...
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Can I say, it's been nice knowing you.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Couldn't you have picked something that was easy to get to, Mark?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47BREAKING GLASS
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Oops!
0:13:48 > 0:13:50HE LAUGHS
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I'm going to have to go in and have a look, see how he is getting on.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- The price has gone up now. - Oh, no! Don't say that.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Where is it? Oh, what a weird thing.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09If you lift the glass out, you slide the glass out,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11you fill it with... It's the correct one.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- Oh, yes, that's always been in there, hasn't it?- Yes.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17God, what an amazing item.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Well, you can imagine it with the fish in that, floating.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Little goldfish in there.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24That's right. And this little...
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I mean, you've got a family group.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28She's sitting rather aloof, the mother, upstairs.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30It is always a mother with the cubs.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32And then he is climbing up to see her
0:14:32 > 0:14:37and this one is looking down at the goldfish swimming in it.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Oh, Michael, I think that's amazing, you know?
0:14:41 > 0:14:45What a cracker! What else does Michael have to offer?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48So, what have we got here?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52I'm not going to open it cos it's unlucky to open an umbrella inside.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Or a parasol.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Cos this must be a lady's version.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01The Edwardian lady loved a decorative parasol and it was
0:15:01 > 0:15:05the ultimate accessory when taking a stroll along the promenade.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I am convinced it is a swan.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09And you've got the little bill there, as well,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12which is has got the little marks on it.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Nicely chased.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I love the way the little eyebrow's in there, as well.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20And then when we come to the side, we see a nice clear mark for London.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I'm guessing, Mike, I don't know the dates off the top of my head,
0:15:23 > 0:15:251905, 1908.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Now, what about a deal for the two items?
0:15:28 > 0:15:33The starting price for the polar bears was £165
0:15:33 > 0:15:35and for the parasol £160.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Seeing as you have had such a hard day or week,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41we are going to make it a little bit easier for you.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Do I need to sit down?- I don't want to see you crying on the television.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45You are a handsome man,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47you don't want to be crying all over the place.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50What I will do then, I'm going to sell you that for 85
0:15:50 > 0:15:53and I am going to sell you this for 80.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55It's 150 for the two.
0:15:55 > 0:16:01- 150 for the two?- I should think that would... You knew that I knew that.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Cor! No hesitation there!
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Mark sure knows a good deal when he sees one.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10As the end of the day approaches,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13it's time for the boys to have a much deserved rest.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Nighty-night.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21A fresh new day and the boys are sad that their road trip
0:16:21 > 0:16:24adventure is nearly over.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27It might be many a moon till I'm next in a classic car
0:16:27 > 0:16:32- having as much fun as this...- Oh! - ..with a buddy like you.- Oh!
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Oh, please, where is the bucket?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37PAUL LAUGHS
0:16:37 > 0:16:39I think that is what I wrote down.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44So far, Mark has spent £150 on two lots -
0:16:44 > 0:16:48the polar bear fishbowl and the swan-headed parasol,
0:16:48 > 0:16:53leaving a sum of £216.26 for the day ahead.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59And Paul has spent £150 on four lots - the trench watch,
0:16:59 > 0:17:03the standard lamp, the hopefully silver jug
0:17:03 > 0:17:04and the mahogany press.
0:17:04 > 0:17:10He's still got lots to spend though, with £632.04 to play with.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16The boys are making their way to glorious Glastonbury.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Did you know that the renowned Glastonbury Festival actually
0:17:22 > 0:17:26takes place in the village of Pilton, over six miles away?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Paul is dropping Mark off at their first shop of the day.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38The beauty of searching for antiques is that you never know
0:17:38 > 0:17:40what you might come across.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43And Mark has certainly found something very unusual.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I think what we've got here is part of a Victorian carriage.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Because these wheels are obviously joined by this axle.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54And I...you don't often see them joined like this.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Um... But I think, in the hands of the right person,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01these would make a fantastic garden seat.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05The ticket price on the carriage wheels is £175.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10Mark finds owner James for a bout of negotiation.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14I need to get them lower than that. Now, what about 70?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16We can't do 70.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21We can toss a coin between 80 and 85.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- OK then. Do I call or do you? - No, you call in the air.- OK.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- Tails. Ah!- It is tails.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Are you sure? Are you happy with that?- That's fine, absolutely.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36£80, thank you.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Great gamble, Mark, but will they be lucky for you at auction?
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Paul has travelled 18 miles away to Blackford, near Wedmore.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51With an already bulging collection of antiques,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54he is happy to try and add some more.
0:18:54 > 0:19:00Lemon Tree Antiques is owned by the quick-witted Les.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03There's no messing about with hawk-eye Laidlaw, though,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05he's straight in there.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I adore Georgian wine glasses.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09There's great interest in such.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14But interest falls off rapidly when we get into the 19th century.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Check this out.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25What a colour!
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Price tag, £55.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35That is a lot of money for one wine glass, yeah?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38But it's a gift for eight!
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I think he likes them!
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Check this out. If these are all good condition-wise,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I'm loving this.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Paul finds Les to talk money.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52So, you said I can retire, sir, after this deal.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55PAUL LAUGHS
0:19:55 > 0:19:58They were in there. Eight wine glasses.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- One has got a chip and one has had a chip that has been ground out.- Yeah.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05There are up at 55, which I don't think is expensive.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Oh, she forgot the one in the front!
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Oh! You can't get the staff, can you?
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Oh, dear. 48 quid. - It's a deal.- Done.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16You're not a difficult man to do business with.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Well, Paul is certainly delighted with that buy.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Meanwhile, Mark has travelled from Glastonbury to Somerton.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Ah, Paul visited this shop yesterday,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32but has he left anything for Mark?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Oh, now that's quite interesting.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Copper, of course.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46A little tray, I suppose it is, for the hallway or something like that.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Maybe for handing out...
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Your maid would come in with a calling card on a tray.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55But you can see instantly by this hand-beaten designed
0:20:55 > 0:20:58and this sort of hand-scalloped edge that it is going to be
0:20:58 > 0:21:01from the Arts And Crafts period.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05So maybe 1880 to 1900, 1905.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09And Mark finds Andrew to start negotiation.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Make me an offer. - I need to get it for about 20 quid.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Yeah, I can do that for you. - 20 quid?- Yeah, go on then.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Thank you.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Not bad for £20, Mark.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Let's catch up with Paul now.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27He has travelled 15 miles to Weston-super-Mare
0:21:27 > 0:21:29for an action-packed adventure.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Paul's in for a great treat today.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36He is visiting the world's largest helicopter museum.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42From the mid-1930s, helicopters were recognised as an important
0:21:42 > 0:21:44addition to the world of aviation
0:21:44 > 0:21:47because of their unique takeoff and landing.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52The Helicopter Museum has over 80 helicopters from a small
0:21:52 > 0:21:56collection started by Elfan ap Rees in 1958.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01The museum has grown and grown and grown.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07An excited Paul is meeting with Elfan to find out more.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11A lot of the aircraft here you won't see anywhere else
0:22:11 > 0:22:12anywhere in the world.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16And you certainly won't see them anywhere else in the UK.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19My word! Well then, what are you going to show me?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Well, we'll start off with the very first helicopter I flew in,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- which was the beginning of the collection.- And it's here?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26It's here.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30This is a 1951 Bristol Sycamore helicopter,
0:22:30 > 0:22:35which actually took part in the Dutch floods disaster in 1953
0:22:35 > 0:22:39and was the first helicopter I flew in the early 1960s.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Wooden rotor blades in those days. - Right.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Good old-fashioned piston engine.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47And this one has quite a nice leather interior
0:22:47 > 0:22:50because Bristol Airplane Company also owned Bristol Cars, of course.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Yeah, very smart.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Amongst the collection is a real world record breaker.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01This is the world's fastest helicopter -
0:23:01 > 0:23:061986, still holds the world's speed record today.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10And it was done not far from here, near Glastonbury,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12on the Somerset Levels.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Nobody else has been able to do it since.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18What an achievement, huh? An impressive achievement.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- Yes, absolutely. - Wow! So, how fast is the record?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25249.09 miles per hour.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29And to complete the tour,
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Elfan has acquired a pair of rather unique and very rare helicopters.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- This is it?- Yeah.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40That looks like a big workhorse, a big beast of a thing.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Yes, it is quite a big machine.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45It is one of the Queen's flight helicopters what we have here.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48This is the older one of the two.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Interestingly, the Queen was never allowed to fly in this one
0:23:51 > 0:23:53because it only had one engine.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56So she could only fly in an aircraft that had two engines.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00This is the Wessex helicopter.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03And when she visited this museum in 2007,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05she called it her old washing machine.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07THEY LAUGH
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- That's crazy stuff.- So, she obviously had an affection for it.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16- Elfan, you've been magic. Thanks very much.- A pleasure.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24While Paul's been getting all boys and their toys,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28it's Mark's turn to visit Lemon Tree Antiques and Blackford.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Mark is under pressure and needs a little help from Les.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I would hate to go home empty-handed.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36You're not going home empty-handed. You'll buy something,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- I'll make sure of that. - You are terrible.- Yeah, I know.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Don't look at them. - No, don't look at those. OK, fine.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Magpie Mark finds a sparkly little gem.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48It is a pretty little Victorian brooch,
0:24:48 > 0:24:49and they've got a safety chain on it.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Yeah, it's no money, a tenner say.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Pretty enough thing, but...
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- It looks gold to me, but we can't find a mark.- Mm.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Looks like Les is keen to sell.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Keep the door locked, Mo, keep the door locked!
0:25:04 > 0:25:09Quite right. He really does want Mark to buy, it's a lock-in.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14Just to sweeten the deal, I will give you that, as well.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19I told everybody in creation, "You'll get no freebies here,"
0:25:19 > 0:25:22and here I am doling it out to you.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Ha, ha!
0:25:23 > 0:25:26This snooker marker board would have been used to keep
0:25:26 > 0:25:28score during the game.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31And he has found something else.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33That was an etui or something originally.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- I would think so.- An etui case.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Victorian ladies would carry an etui,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42which would hold small items like scissors and tweezers.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47- I would say it is a period one. - 1850s, '60s?- Yeah.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- It is a nice shape.- Yeah. - The shagreen is in good condition.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- It is.- Nice greeny colour. - You can have that.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- Now, you picked that up in a job lot.- I did not.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Tell me you picked that up... - How much have I got on it?- 40 quid.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03My memory ain't bad, is it?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- You said you had 116 quid? - That's all I've got.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Give us your money and you got the two pieces.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09And the snooker board and the brooch.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Now, don't take the mickey, man. - Come on, shake my hand.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Shake my hand. Yes! Done.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22What just happened there? I don't know.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24But I am quite excited, I think.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I think.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31It's time for the boys to show one another their goodies. Standby.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- It's a real mixed bag, Paul. - God, it is!
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Wow! I love that!
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I thought you would hate it!
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I mean, imagine, this is chalk. How many of them will survive?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44That is one of the best things I've seen in years.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I'm never seen anything like it in my life.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49And I was just torn to this little bear here.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53He is looking at the goldfish as they are swimming around here.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- You know? - I've got to ask the question,
0:26:55 > 0:26:56what did you pay for that?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Quite a lot of money. - You didn't, did you?- I did.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03- What did you pay for that?- £75. - I think that's fantastic.- I love it.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05I'd love that. I'd love that!
0:27:05 > 0:27:08And I think I might like more of what you've bought.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Uh...OK.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17You could be lucky with that.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Some farmer could give you good money for that.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Do you know what I would do with it? I'd make it into a garden seat.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27- Yeah, I hear you.- And I just thought it was a really wacky item.- It is!
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Do you want to know what I paid for it?
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- All right, what did you pay for it? Tenner?- No, 80 quid.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Are you weighing me up? - No, 80 quid.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Moving swiftly on.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- I've got to have a look at this.- I love it, Paul. I absolutely love it.
0:27:44 > 0:27:50Partridge wood and assayed... palm wood and assayed silver.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- That's delicious!- The quality, I thought, was there.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56I know they are not as popular as waking canes.
0:27:56 > 0:27:5875 quid I paid for that.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01What's that worth, 120, 160?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I hope so. I hope so.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08- What did you pay for this? - My entire budget, £367.26.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- I would take it all.- Every penny.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Show me yours.- Be nice to me. - I will.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14That'll be the day.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- Wow.- OK.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Well, I never. - What do you think of my wines?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- I love the colour.- Try a glass, though. Look at work.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26I absolutely love the colour.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- All the stems..- They're wonderful. - And to get that number...
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Such a sexy blue.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- Cheap?- 48 quid.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- They've got to be worth that.- Good.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Now, I want to see what this is.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43You might think this is dreary, to be honest with you.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Wow.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- I like it.- Yeah, I know. It's very stylish.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Good to go, interior decorator's piece,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55but good for the end user as well -
0:28:55 > 0:28:57just pick your shade. Good thing.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02- Very, very attractive.- I hope.- So, how much did you spend?- 188 quid.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06OK. Right.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10So I spent my entire budget and you spent a quarter of yours.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Yeah.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Well, I think we can shake hands on the winner now, Paul.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21You know, I've got a slight tear. You know.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25But come on, boys, what do you really think?
0:29:25 > 0:29:26All in all...
0:29:27 > 0:29:29..I'm a little disappointed, really,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31that Paul couldn't spend a bit more money.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35The bears, I think that's a magic lot. I think it is a magical lot.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37It's lovely.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40And I think a decent price was paid. Good work.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Let's hit the road and head to auction for the last time.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46It has been an exhilarating finale
0:29:46 > 0:29:49with the boys battling it out from Bristol, Pylle,
0:29:49 > 0:29:53Somerton, Glastonbury, Blackford, Western-super-Mare,
0:29:53 > 0:29:56and finally the Somerset town of Bridgwater.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03Now, Bridgwater is a splendid, ancient town. It's mentioned in
0:30:03 > 0:30:07the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, dating from around 800 AD
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Look at us, an old married couple, 20 years later.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15"You know, I can't stand the way you drink your soup."
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Come here.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22He-he. Tamlyns at Bridgwater have been established
0:30:22 > 0:30:24from the late 19th century.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Taking to the rostrum today is auctioneer Claire Rawle.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31What does she think about the boy's lots?
0:30:31 > 0:30:34The carriage wheel is great.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Difficult to say how they are going to go.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38The book press also could be a bit tricky,
0:30:38 > 0:30:41mainly because it's big and people don't know what to do with them.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46Mark Stacey started today with £366.26
0:30:46 > 0:30:50and spent every penny on six auction lots.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Great.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Paul Laidlaw began with £782.04
0:30:57 > 0:31:01and spent £198 on five lots.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03For this week's final auction,
0:31:03 > 0:31:08we will also be accompanied by an audience on the World Wide Web.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09At 28...
0:31:09 > 0:31:12First up, it's Paul's little cream jug.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Although it doesn't have a hallmark, it's tested positive for silver.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20£20 anywhere for it? 20 straight in. It weighs four ounces. £20?
0:31:20 > 0:31:21Thank you, 20 on the net.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Only the internet's bidding.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Do I see two anywhere? Bid's at 20. At 20.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- 22. 25. 28. - It's going up online, Paul.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31But there is no-one in the room that would buy
0:31:31 > 0:31:32a little Georgian silver cream jug?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35At £35, it's a net bid, you're all done in the room.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- You are joking!- At £35 then. All done... At 38.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42At 38. Now 40. At £38 on the net. Want to come back again?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45My other bidder. At 38 it is then.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49You all done? Selling to the net then at £38.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50It's a wee profit.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53It's a profit, but I think you wanted more than that, didn't you?
0:31:53 > 0:31:58Of course he did, Mark! He's not usually a stranger to profits.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Next, it is Mark's combined lot of the swan-headed parasol
0:32:03 > 0:32:05and the brooch.
0:32:05 > 0:32:0655 on the internet.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08That's a good start. At 55. At 55.

0:33:07 > 0:33:10Now 300! Don't drop out now, fill it up to 300.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Yeah, fill it up to 300! I like that expression.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15At £280 then, you all done out there at 280...
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Congratulations, Mark!
0:33:19 > 0:33:23That is your highest profit this week. Well done.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26I am very pleased with that, actually.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30I'm coming back, Paul. I'm coming back.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31Heaven help us!
0:33:31 > 0:33:37Can Mark keep the profits high with his dainty etui case?

0:36:27 > 0:36:28Show some grace!
0:36:30 > 0:36:34It is another combined lot from Mark.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38The copper tray and the, um, miniature watering can next.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50PAUL LAUGHS

0:38:23 > 0:38:25No!
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Peeved for you, mate.
0:38:27 > 0:38:33What a jaw dropper of a result for Mark. An unexpected, sore loss.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- That's auctions.- That's auctions.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38My chances of catching up are slipping away, Paul.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43It's Paul's turn with the carved mahogany and brass standing lamp.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Start me away, £30 anywhere for it. Thank you. 30 I have.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Well.- Ouch!
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Ouch indeed.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Another disappointing result for the boys.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15I'm becoming quite unhinged.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19You are just becoming or it's just dawning on you now?
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Cheeky Paul.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Right, it's Mark's final lot of the day - the pair of carriage wheels.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29£20 anywhere? Thank you, 20 I have.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30At £20. At 20.

0:39:34 > 0:39:37At £20. Going to go for a maiden bid of £20.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39You all sure? All done.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42There is someone hovering on the internet, this is exciting.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Build up. Come on. 22, I knew there was someone out there. 25. At 25.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51Do you want to go to 28? Yeah, 28. 30 at the back. Come back with two.

0:39:55 > 0:39:57There you are, did the trick. 32. At 32.
0:39:57 > 0:40:0135 it is. At £35. don't go quiet on me now.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06At £35, it is a room bid. You sure out there? 38.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11At 38. 40. Yeah, I knew he'd go again. At £40. Now two.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14At 42. At 42. You sure this time?
0:40:14 > 0:40:18All done, selling to the net buyer at £42.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Certainly an exciting play between bidders,
0:40:22 > 0:40:25but just not enough to help Mark.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28I can relax now, it's down to your last lot.
0:40:30 > 0:40:36It's the final lot of the day, Paul's stunning set of wine glasses.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39£20? 20? All those glasses, 20?

0:41:07 > 0:41:10120. 120 it's going to be.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- We'll take that.- Well done.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Another stonker of a profit from Paul.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19So, for the fifth time this week,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22he is the reigning supremo at auction.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26You fancy a wee cruise in a classic car, maybe a pint at the end?
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- Oh, go on then, if we have to. - Can I tempt you?- If we have to.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Shall we?- Come on.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39Mark started today's show with £366.26 and,
0:41:39 > 0:41:44after paying auction costs, made a small profit of £42.92,
0:41:44 > 0:41:48bringing his final earnings to £409.18.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Paul started with a mighty £782.04
0:41:56 > 0:42:01and after costs, made another whopping profit of £107.86,
0:42:01 > 0:42:06giving him a wondrous £889.90 to finish on.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09And that means he is crowned this week's jubilant winner.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12All profits our experts make will go to Children In Need.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14That's it, over for another year.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- Man alive! Belter, though. - Oh, it was fabulous.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21All you've got to do now, Paul, is drive me into the sunset.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25- Come on then, amigo, let's do it.- This way.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32# Kisses for me Save all your kisses for me... #
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Mark and Paul's road trip adventure has all too soon ended.
