0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts. With £200 each...
0:00:05 > 0:00:11- I love that. - ..a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- Yippee!- I can see better with those.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23We're going to have a row!
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29He's just about killed that.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40It's the second leg of our road trip
0:00:40 > 0:00:46and experts James Braxton and James Lewis are hitting the highways in their 1983 Beetle convertible
0:00:46 > 0:00:50and they couldn't look less like a couple of Beach Boys if they tried!
0:00:50 > 0:00:55This car is... I think the yellow can only be described as rather rude.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- LAUGHTER - It's so strong, it's vulgar.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- It's fantastic. It deserves to be on a beach somewhere.- It does.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- With a surfboard sticking out of the roof.- Yeah.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08It's very much out of its environment, isn't it?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Well, I think we are too.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Stick with it, boys. Their usual environment is the auction room.
0:01:15 > 0:01:21James Braxton has 20 years' experience in auctioneering, a kind of Jack Nicholson of the saleroom.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23And a bit of a joker.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28- A tenner?- Er...no.- And a star of One Flew Over The Auction House.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Get it? Here's Jamesie!
0:01:31 > 0:01:36His sparring partner James Lewis is also a seasoned auctioneer with a business in Derbyshire,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- but he shops dangerously. - Ow! I just stabbed myself!
0:01:40 > 0:01:44And isn't afraid to get his hands dirty in order to win.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46That is turtle poo.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Turtle poo to you too!
0:01:48 > 0:01:53James Braxton had a poor first auction which resulted in a small loss
0:01:53 > 0:01:57and now he only has £186.84 to play with.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01James Lewis had a better time of it
0:02:01 > 0:02:06and increased his initial £200 to £268.34 to spend on today's road trip.
0:02:09 > 0:02:15The route for the week ahead takes our intrepid road trippers from Ampthill in Bedfordshire
0:02:15 > 0:02:20across the Channel to Jersey and back again to the final destination of Leamington Spa,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22covering almost a thousand miles.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Epic!
0:02:24 > 0:02:27But today's trip begins in Woodstock in Oxfordshire
0:02:27 > 0:02:30and ends up at auction in Swindon.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- I think Oxfordshire is glorious, isn't it?- It is lovely.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41No, it's not that Woodstock. No hippy-dippy, flower power festivals here.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46This Woodstock is the home of the UNESCO World Heritage Site,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53James Lewis is dropping James Braxton at his first shop of the day
0:02:53 > 0:02:57and the bells are ringing out for their arrival.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- There we go.- Good. Thanks a lot.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- All righty... - Good luck, but not too much luck.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Have fun.- Thank you. Bye.- Bye.
0:03:09 > 0:03:15Woodstock Arts and Antiques is run by a Mr Michael Jackson. Sham on!
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Hello, James. How are you?- Hello. Nice to meet you.- Good to see you.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24I never knew that Michael was alive and well and dealing in antiques in Woodstock.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- I am slightly behind.- Right, OK.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- I'm against an awesome competitor, Mr Lewis.- Yeah.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34He has slipped, not clear water,
0:03:34 > 0:03:39but, you know, 60, 70-odd pounds in front of me at the moment.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42You'd better get shopping then, hadn't you, Jimmy?
0:03:47 > 0:03:52- This cabinet is full of goodies, is it?- The whole shop is. - The whole shop.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Great look to it, isn't it?- Hmm.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05I really like that poodle. It's very well done.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09It has a sense of humour. It has a certain naive charm about that.
0:04:09 > 0:04:15It certainly does. Mid-19th century Staffordshire at £28, in case you were wondering.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19But this, this rather sweet owl, isn't it...?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24- That's a candle snuffer. - That is just fabulous.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Humorous and naive, the owl is Royal Worcester and has a ticket price of £55.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Worth a punt, James?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36At the other extreme, what a lovely little '50s, mint and boxed tea set!
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Never been used. Some poor little kiddie had it as a present and it stayed there.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44High days and holidays didn't quite come.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Old toys, particularly if they're in their boxes,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I mean, that's not a bad little thing.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52That's great, isn't it?
0:04:52 > 0:04:56I do like that. What could that be?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- A tenner?- A tenner.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02These two little bits...
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- It's really got to be another 40 for those.- 40 for those.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Shall we strike middle ground there? I'd love it for 30.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Would £35 buy them?- 35 would do it.
0:05:14 > 0:05:1735 and 10 - 45. That's really good. Thank you.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22- Super, sir.- Thanks a lot. Thank you.- I appreciate that.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Yes, now beat it!
0:05:24 > 0:05:28A joke. I'm sure dealer Michael Jackson always finds that amusing.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37After dropping off James Braxton, James Lewis has driven on eight miles to Oxford.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Known as "the city of dreaming spires",
0:05:41 > 0:05:44a term coined by poet Matthew Arnold,
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Oxford is home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52James has adopted a little bit of student chic to mark the occasion.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56His first port of call is Antiques On High.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02- Hi there.- Hello.- Can I leave that there?- That's fine.- I'm James. - I'm Caroline. Nice to meet you.
0:06:10 > 0:06:16It isn't long before James spots something that looks like a silver sugar basket.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Unmarked with a family crest.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I think it's early. I think it's 18th century.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29I'm hoping...
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- I'm hoping it might be Irish, the fact that it's not marked.- OK.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- What could that be?- 35 on there... I can get 30.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43- Is 20 any good? - He wouldn't do 20. He might do 25 if he's in the right mood.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I could ring him and see if it's got a chance.
0:06:46 > 0:06:4925, save your phone bill. Take a gamble.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Let's do it, James. LAUGHTER
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Quick and easy! Not much wrong with that. Let's hope it's silver and not silver plate.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Cheers.- Bye-bye.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04James is off to a good start with a little time on his hands, so he's staying in Oxford
0:07:04 > 0:07:10to visit a man with a passion for wind. Sounds rude, but I'm saying nothing.
0:07:10 > 0:07:16James has come to meet Andy Lamb, curator of one of the world's largest collections of instruments
0:07:16 > 0:07:19at the University's Faculty of Music.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- I'm James. Nice to see you. - James, welcome.- Hi.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29What an amazing collection of clarinets and blowy things!
0:07:29 > 0:07:34- Welcome to the Bate Collection. - Is this place open to the public? - We absolutely are.
0:07:34 > 0:07:41This is one of the finest collections of musical instruments in the country, if not the world.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44We're a global resource.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48The collection was donated by Philip Bate,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51a radio and TV producer from the early days of the BBC.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56As a scholar of musical instruments, his love of music started as a child
0:07:56 > 0:08:01after seeing a concert at his school. After that, he just had to get a instrument of his own.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- He got a clarinet, did he? - He did, yes.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08What his mother did was she asked around friends and family
0:08:08 > 0:08:13and somebody came up with an instrument which he happily handed over
0:08:13 > 0:08:16and it was not quite what he was expecting.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- What was it?- It was an 18th century instrument.- No, really?
0:08:20 > 0:08:26- And is that in your collection still?- It certainly is. We can go and have a look at it.- After you.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32The early clarinet is one of over a thousand instruments at the Faculty.
0:08:32 > 0:08:38The collection shows the musical and mechanical development of all wind and percussion instruments
0:08:38 > 0:08:41from the Renaissance and the Baroque to modern times.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- This is Henry.- Hello, Henry.- Hi.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- Is that THE clarinet?- That is THE clarinet.- Let's have a look.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- It's obviously in boxwood and ivory. - It's boxwood, ivory.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56We know that this was made by Miller
0:08:56 > 0:08:59and that tells us that it's pre-1790s.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04OK. Tell me, Henry, are you an expert on 18th century instruments?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Well, yes, I am.- Oh, fantastic!
0:09:07 > 0:09:11The experts are getting younger. It's a bit like policemen!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13PLAYS "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Very good, very good.- Thank you.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I have to say, it does really make me feel old
0:09:23 > 0:09:27when the experts are playing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29LAUGHTER
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Throughout his life, Bate collected and studied musical instruments,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35scouring junk shops and markets.
0:09:35 > 0:09:42He used his woodworking skills to restore items in the collection and when he later mastered metalworking,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45he turned his hand to even more musical marvels.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- This is one of the ones he made himself.- OK.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54There's a number of things that are wrong with it design-wise,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58but considering he wasn't actually an instrument-maker himself,
0:09:58 > 0:10:02this is a very, very good effort, a very good design.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05It's made from stock trumpet parts.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07So what did he base this design on?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11It's based on a 17th century trumpet design.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- We've got an English version of it just over here.- That one?- Yeah.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18By a maker called Simon Beale.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Wow, that is fantastic!
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- Beale was an interesting man. He was state trumpeter to Oliver Cromwell. - Really?- Yes.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Does it still work?- Yes, absolutely. - Go for it. Let's hear the sound.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32PLAYS TUNE
0:10:38 > 0:10:40That is wonderful.
0:10:40 > 0:10:47By the mid-1960s, Bate was convinced his instruments could be used for a much greater purpose.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- DEEP SOUND - Hello!
0:10:49 > 0:10:55As London and Edinburgh Universities already had their own collections, he donated his to Oxford University
0:10:55 > 0:11:00on the condition that it was a teaching collection with a specialist curator,
0:11:00 > 0:11:05more importantly, that the instruments would be maintained and played.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Oh, my word!
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Here we go.- No...- Oh, yes!
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- That's huge. - Come on, give me the horn.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18FAINT SOUND
0:11:18 > 0:11:21My goodness!
0:11:22 > 0:11:24PLAYS SOME NOTES
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Finally, James Lewis finds a use for all that hot air.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- That was better. - That was convincing. Well done.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Where was that from? - That is a Swiss alphorn.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I think I've stretched my ribs!
0:11:39 > 0:11:41LAUGHTER
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Congratulations and well done. You've passed the test.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Thank you very much. I feel quite faint.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Whilst James Lewis has been mastering the horn,
0:11:51 > 0:11:55James Braxton has "Beetled" on to Bicester 15 miles away.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00- Hello. James.- Hello, James. Nice to meet you.- Nice to meet you.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05- I'm Karen.- Karen. This is a lovely place, isn't it? - Yes, it's very refreshing.
0:12:05 > 0:12:11The Old Flight House covers 6,000 square feet and has 50 dealers under one roof,
0:12:11 > 0:12:17so a personal guide is probably the best way for James to go. Carry on shopping!
0:12:17 > 0:12:23Before long, our Jack Nicholson lookalike has spied a silver charm bracelet for £33.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Maybe it reminds him of The Shining!
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Now, could that be a silly price of, say, £20?
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- A silly price?- No, not a...- That would be a good price, wouldn't it?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- How about 21?- £21, you have a deal, Karen.- I just like the number.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:12:42 > 0:12:48- I'm very pleased with that, Karen. That's very kind.- Good.- There's the 20.- Perfect.- And the one.- Thank you.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Thank you very much indeed, Karen. Bye.- Bye-bye.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57Just like that, the first day's shopping is done. Doesn't time fly when you're having fun?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01But rest up. There's more to come in the morning. Night-night, boys!
0:13:05 > 0:13:12Having regrouped and counted their pennies to see what's left, our bold boys are back on the road.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- How many did you buy yesterday?- One.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Only one? Really?- Just one thing.
0:13:17 > 0:13:23I bought three quite low-value items, if I had to give a clue.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27So far, James Braxton has spent £66 on four buys -
0:13:27 > 0:13:32the owl candle snuffer, the Staffordshire dog, the 1950s children's tea set
0:13:32 > 0:13:38and the modern, silver, chain-link bracelet, which leaves him with £120.84 for the day ahead.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42James Lewis, meanwhile, has spent just £25 on one lot -
0:13:42 > 0:13:45the 18th century, Irish silver sugar basket,
0:13:45 > 0:13:51which means he's got £243.34 and a heck of a lot of buying to do,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54but then he's like that.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59Before he starts his shopping though, James Braxton is giving James Lewis a much-needed head start
0:13:59 > 0:14:02by dropping him off in Chipping Norton.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Chipping Norton, eh?- Yeah.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10- Well, home of...home of many people in the news.- Is it?
0:14:10 > 0:14:16- David Cameron, Rebekah Brooks, Jeremy Clarkson.- Oh, really? - Rowan Atkinson.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19You're right in the hotbed of it.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Really?- Yeah.- I had no idea.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Thank you very much.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Well, good luck, but not too much.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Oh, dear.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Well done. Have fun.- Thank you.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Don't buy any bargains. Cheers.- Bye!
0:14:36 > 0:14:43James's first shop of the day is the very modern-sounding CoCa, run by John Cooper.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Hello there.- Hello.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50- I'm James. Nice to see you. - How do you do, James? Pleased to meet you. I'm John.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54As antiques go, John has an eclectic mix of large and small,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57some smaller and more eclectic than others.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00That's a completely weird object, isn't it?
0:15:00 > 0:15:05- Can you imagine James Braxton's face if I bought that?- Go on, I dare you!
0:15:05 > 0:15:07What do you think it is then?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I think... I think it's Japanese.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15And this section is carved out of a nut.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- The parasol, the face and the cane, I think, are bone.- Yeah.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24- Or the tongue might be stained ivory, but more than likely, probably bone.- Right.
0:15:24 > 0:15:31And I think it's probably a figure from a Japanese comedy, about 1900, 1910. What can that be?
0:15:33 > 0:15:3515?
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- I'll have to make you a cheeky offer of a fiver.- A tenner and it's yours.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Eight and you've got a deal.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Only because it's totally stupid. - Go on then.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49£8, you've got a deal. Thank you.
0:15:49 > 0:15:56- There we are. Thank you.- That's very kind. Cheers.- That's great. - Nice to meet you.- Have a good day.
0:15:59 > 0:16:06Back in the Beetle, James Braxton has driven to Gaydon in Warwickshire to take a much-needed pit stop.
0:16:09 > 0:16:15With a bit of time to spare, James has come to the Heritage Motor Centre near Banbury,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19home to the world's largest collection of historic British cars.
0:16:21 > 0:16:27And he's driving a VW Beetle! Has the man no shame?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Hopefully, curator Tim Bryan will forgive him.
0:16:31 > 0:16:37- Hello.- Hello, James. Welcome to the Heritage Motor Centre. - What an amazing place!
0:16:37 > 0:16:42- All British cars here? - Yes, everything in the museum is built in this country,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45right from the 1890s up to the present.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50I'm rather ashamed to tell you I've come up in the VW, our German cousins.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55The Germans have had quite a lot to do with our industry over the last few years,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57so I'm sure that's a good connection.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02In the 1970s, the newly formed British Leyland company sorted out
0:17:02 > 0:17:08all the old motors it had in storage, turning up vintage vehicles of all shapes and sizes
0:17:08 > 0:17:12from the Mini to the Land Rover, Rolls-Royce to the Aston Martin.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17Although the collection focuses on iconic British brands,
0:17:17 > 0:17:21the motor industry first began in the home of James's VW.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25This is where the story starts. You mentioned German cars.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28This is a replica of a German car.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33This is a replica of the first Benz car, built back in 1886.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- It looks like a trap, like a horse and trap, doesn't it?- It is.
0:17:37 > 0:17:43In 1886, Otto Benz, when he built this car, it was based, I guess, on the technology of the time,
0:17:43 > 0:17:47so a bit of horse-drawn technology and also a bit of bike technology.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- The wheels look very much like a bicycle tyre.- They do, don't they?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- What is this? - These are solid rubber tyres.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58But it's got hardly any features you'd recognise.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04The steering, of course, is a tiller, so if you want to move it, you can do that.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08And of course, there's no boot, there's no windscreen.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13But it can only do about nine miles an hour, so it was very primitive.
0:18:13 > 0:18:19The story I love to tell is it's said that Mrs Benz actually drove it first, rather than Mr Benz.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Mr Benz had to run along behind with his toolbox to make sure it didn't break down.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29A bit like some of our classic cars on the Road Trip then!
0:18:29 > 0:18:33But it's not just old bangers that make up the collection.
0:18:33 > 0:18:39There are a few well-known models from the silver screen where the car really was the star.
0:18:43 > 0:18:49Those of us who are old enough to remember the original Thunderbirds series of the '60s and the '70s,
0:18:49 > 0:18:53this takes you back to that. This is Lady Penelope's FAB 1.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56This is a glorious piece of pink, isn't it?
0:18:56 > 0:19:00It certainly is. It's the pinkest thing we have in the museum.
0:19:00 > 0:19:06It's a bit of a curio, but very popular all the same. It does actually run.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10The car was supplied by the Ford Motor Company for the 2004 film version
0:19:10 > 0:19:12and is based on a Ford Thunderbird.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15F-A-B!
0:19:15 > 0:19:19From one of the campest cars in the collection to one of the coolest...
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Ah, Mr Bond, I've been expecting you.
0:19:24 > 0:19:30The James Bond fans will, of course, recognise the V12 Vanquish from Die Another Day.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Die Another Day.- Yes.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37- Was that on the ice with the Jaguar? - That's right, yes.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Again, a fantastic bit of technology. You have to have deep pockets
0:19:41 > 0:19:46to own and run one, but really the flagship of the Aston Martin fleet.
0:19:46 > 0:19:52As far as many people are concerned, this is one of the iconic British cars, so it's great to have it here.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58No longer in production, the V12 Vanquish would have set you back around £160,000
0:19:58 > 0:20:01and that's without an ejector seat!
0:20:01 > 0:20:05One of the things I think that this place is really successful at
0:20:05 > 0:20:09is getting people to think about and look at their memories of cars,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12so people think, "My dad had one of those cars,"
0:20:12 > 0:20:16or, "We went on holiday in that sort of car," or, "That was my first car."
0:20:16 > 0:20:21A real trip down memory lane and the best of British all under one roof.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25And with that, it's time for our special agent James Braxton
0:20:25 > 0:20:28to get back in his classic car and on the road.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Oh, less 007, more...
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Herbie Goes Bananas?
0:20:35 > 0:20:40Time now for James to head down to Deddington to continue his shopping.
0:20:40 > 0:20:46His final shop of the day is the Deddington Antiques Centre, run by dealer Brenda Haller.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48It's got a bit of weight to it.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- Good.- Brenda's shop is famous for the Deddington Duck.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Not an ornament, but a move.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Duck!
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Too late!
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Slightly concussed, James spots a rather curious curio.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07- A bombilla.- Is that what it is? - Yeah. It's for tea.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Ah!- So it's a South American thing.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- And this is a gourd.- Yeah.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16You put your leaves or whatever and the water in there.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Because it was all pretty messy stuff, you drink through the straw. - How amazing!
0:21:20 > 0:21:25- That might be a possibility, Brenda. - Let's hold it out.- Let's keep it out.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30Next up, James has his eye on a white metal bowl which Brenda thinks is an ashtray.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Yeah, that's one that slots on, you know, when they had a table at the side?
0:21:35 > 0:21:40- Oh, I see.- You'd slot that one on to a piece of wood.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- It's got dragons on it, has it? - Dragons, yeah.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46If you saw that, you would think Chinese,
0:21:46 > 0:21:52then you turn it over and you've got the Arabic script. Isn't that interesting?
0:21:52 > 0:21:58- Leave it out. You held it more than 2 seconds, so you're interested. - You're reading me, you see!
0:21:58 > 0:22:00You crafty dealers.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05He seems to be starting a collection of possible maybes.
0:22:05 > 0:22:11There's a piece of Japanese silver there. Could have been a tea bowl, trinket bowl, sake bowl.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16- Who knows?- Yeah. - Nice price at £22, but they don't seem to know what it is.
0:22:16 > 0:22:22I reckon it could be a rice bowl lid. Well, it is if you hold it the right way up, James.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26But he's not done yet. He's turning into a bit of a magpie today.
0:22:26 > 0:22:33- Oh, that's a good weight. - It's not silver. Silver plate. - Any other redeeming features?
0:22:33 > 0:22:37It's nice and heavy. Walker and Hall. Can't get better than that.
0:22:37 > 0:22:43- And actually it's a perfect thing for you to put your goodies on. - It is, isn't it?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- Let's have a look what it looks like.- Put it on there. Very good.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Fantastic. - Sets them off, doesn't it?
0:22:50 > 0:22:56James has selected the gourd jobby at £68, the white metal bowl at £78,
0:22:56 > 0:23:00the silver lid at £22 and the tray at £38.
0:23:00 > 0:23:07A grand total of £206. How's he going to manage that when he's only got £120.84 left to spend.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- I see the package at £100. - You do?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- Is that...? - This is a one-off deal.- One-off.
0:23:15 > 0:23:21- I don't do this for anybody else, but because you're so lovely... - You're too kind.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- ..I will do it. I want you to win. - Good. Thank you.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Obviously the Jack Nicholson approach goes down rather well.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- Good on you, James. - Thank you very much. In the till!
0:23:35 > 0:23:42A selection of items at half price. That's as good as it gets. Well done, Jack. I mean, James.
0:23:42 > 0:23:4814 miles down the road, James Lewis has travelled on to complete his shopping in Yarnton.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52With only two lots in the old bag, he's got some catching up to do.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57- Hello.- Hello there. - You all right?
0:23:57 > 0:24:03At the Yarnton Antiques Centre, manager Mia Pratley is busy, so James goes on independent patrol.
0:24:03 > 0:24:10The great thing about these little tins was that there were Jacobs Biscuits
0:24:10 > 0:24:16and other makers who were designing these novelty tins just to help try to sell their biscuits.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20I suppose from about 1900 to the 1930s.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23And they're now really sought after.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28But one thing that is so important is condition.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32And there's a hole there for some reason. Could that be a tenner?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It might be worth a go.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38With a price tag of £18, James is going in with a cheeky offer.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43- A tenner. Is that any good to you? - Please.- Yeah?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Star! OK, thank you very much. Bye-bye.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51- You have a sale.- Yay! It was worth a go.- Finally.
0:24:51 > 0:24:57- Brilliant. OK, well, that's one. - And once he's started, there's no stopping him.
0:24:57 > 0:25:03Next on his shopping list is a 19th-century Regency ormolu pocket watch stand,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05circa 1825.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10- Looks nice.- Could you offer 20 for me?- I'll try for you.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Shortly followed by a string of ivory beads for £30.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19It's legal to buy and sell items that were made of ivory before 1947.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22So, James, what to do?
0:25:23 > 0:25:29- 15?- 15.- Just give it a go. See what happens.- Right, OK. - Thank you very much.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34- What would be your absolute best? - Whilst Mia phones the dealer, James gets back into the cabinets
0:25:34 > 0:25:37just in case he's missed something.
0:25:37 > 0:25:43- As it's you, yes, she'll go 20 on the stand and 15 on the ivory.- Brilliant.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- OK?- That's a deal. Thank you.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48He really is on a roll now.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53- The little pig that says, "Scratch me," on it.- A bacon roll!
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- There you go.- Thank you. Oh, that's funny.
0:25:56 > 0:26:02It would have had a bit of sandpaper or something there, do you think?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Not necessarily if the box slid in. You'd have the striker on the box.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09On the side...
0:26:09 > 0:26:13At £9, the Victorian brass match case is a cute novelty item,
0:26:13 > 0:26:19but he's not committing just yet, not when he's just spotted a tortoiseshell and bone trousse,
0:26:19 > 0:26:24the Chinese equivalent of a Swiss Army penknife, at £55.
0:26:24 > 0:26:31It's a knife, a pair of chopsticks and a little bone implement for digging bits out of places.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Tortoiseshell is now covered by the same laws that protect ivory,
0:26:35 > 0:26:40but because the trousse pre-dates 1947, it's legal to trade.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- 25. Just see. - ..You've got 55. He's offering 25.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Another cheeky offer gets a cheeky response.
0:26:50 > 0:26:56I won't say what she called you. She says for 30 you can have it. She can't go down to 25.
0:26:56 > 0:27:02Go on, James. What's an extra fiver when you've still got £190 to spend?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Don't be tight.- Deal.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Thank you.- Thanks very much.- OK.
0:27:07 > 0:27:13So James has lucked out in his last shop. That's the biscuit tin for £10,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16the pocket watch stand for £20, the ivory beads for £15
0:27:16 > 0:27:19and the oriental trousse for £30.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- How much do I owe you?- 75, please.
0:27:22 > 0:27:28And with one last throw of the dice he takes a £9 gamble on the pig matchbox holder.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33- I like buying small things. - Good luck with that.- Thank you.
0:27:33 > 0:27:40With both our experts well and truly shopped out, it's time to feast their eyes on each other's buys
0:27:40 > 0:27:43in a quiet country retreat.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- So how have you found it? Confident?- No, tricky this time.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52- I found it very tricky. - Let's see how tricky it was.- OK.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- There we go. - A good mixed bag there.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- It is a mixed bag. - What do you think is your winner?
0:28:00 > 0:28:06- That, probably.- Yeah. - 1936, stagecoach. Made in 1936.
0:28:06 > 0:28:13They seem to make £60-£100 in auction in a bit of ropey condition. In mint condition, £200.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Shame yours is a bit battered, then.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- Next...- Just look at this.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24- Oh, he's rather good, isn't he? - Japanese nut and bone.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27- But look...- Fabulous.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31So the eyes come out on stalks. And age?
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- What do you think? - 1910? Something around there?
0:28:35 > 0:28:39I don't know. These seem all a bit crisp. I don't know.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44Interesting. I've never seen the like. How much did you buy it for?
0:28:44 > 0:28:50- He was eight quid. - Did you spend anything more than £10?- That was 25.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- But I think it's Irish silver. - So he's still not certain.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Anyway, how about you?- Here we go.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01- I, rather like you, have gone slightly around the world.- Oh.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- I like the gourd. - The bombilla.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08It's one of those, South American as you know.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Oh, I like that. I like that.
0:29:12 > 0:29:18- How much was this? - I bought that and this little fellow over here for £55.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- I love that.- Do you?- Yeah. - How much have you spent?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23117.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25117 only?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- I know!- Could do better.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- Good luck at the auction. - Thanks very much.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37Yes, you always say that, boys. Now tell us what you really think.
0:29:37 > 0:29:44I think he'll do very well with the novelty biscuit tin. £10. It's got to have interest in it.
0:29:44 > 0:29:50Without question, my favourite thing is the gourd. Is there a great profit? Probably not.
0:29:50 > 0:29:58- There might be a few pounds in it. - He hasn't seen the thing to lure his hand deep inside his pocket.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02It's been very shallow diving in Mr Lewis' pocket thus far.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Miaow! Saucer of milk for James Braxton.
0:30:05 > 0:30:12From Yarnton, our boys embark on the final 33 miles of today's trip to the auction in Swindon. Lovely.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25- This is lovely. Very pretty. - Isn't it? Very nice. - I expected a more urban environment.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30Yeah. Loads of car parking. Bodes well for private buyers!
0:30:30 > 0:30:35Today our boys are battling it out at Kidson Trigg Auction House, a family business,
0:30:35 > 0:30:41that not only serves the local buyers, but internet bidders from around the world.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46Is Mark Anderson as impressed with their items as they are?
0:30:46 > 0:30:51There's a couple of interesting lots. The calabash gourd with the drinking straw.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54I think that's potentially going to be interesting.
0:30:54 > 0:30:59The other lot that springs to mind is described as a sugar basket.
0:30:59 > 0:31:05We're in a bit of a dispute. James thinks it's silver. I'm not entirely convinced.
0:31:05 > 0:31:11It's got the construction of old Sheffield plate. The expert buyers will hammer it out
0:31:11 > 0:31:14and it'll show in the final price.
0:31:14 > 0:31:20Controversial! James Lewis started out with £268.34
0:31:20 > 0:31:23and spent £117 on six lots,
0:31:23 > 0:31:29leaving him with a cash stash of £151.34.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33James Braxton started with £186.84
0:31:33 > 0:31:37and bought six lots, spending £166,
0:31:37 > 0:31:41leaving him with £20.84 in hand.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45Nice.
0:31:45 > 0:31:52First for James Braxton is the Royal Worcester owl candle snuffer and the Staffordshire dog.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- Quite a humorous pair.- Yeah.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56£20 anywhere? £20 to start me?
0:31:56 > 0:31:5910 to get on, surely. 10.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02£10 bid. 15 where? At 15. At 15.
0:32:02 > 0:32:07You're out in front, madam. £20. 5 again. 25. 25.
0:32:07 > 0:32:1130 would you like? £30 bid. 35. 35. 35. Would you like 40?
0:32:11 > 0:32:14At £40. £40.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18With the lady at the front at 40. One more? No more. At 40. All done?
0:32:18 > 0:32:22Any further calls? Selling then at £40.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26- Well done. - A small profit, isn't it?
0:32:26 > 0:32:31Any smaller and it would be a loss! A lucky escape, James Braxton.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36Time to lift the lid on James Lewis' first item, the novelty biscuit tin.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- I had confidence in this. - And this was bought for £50?- 10.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43In good condition these make £80.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45How much for one in bad condition?
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Oh, thanks(!) He's killed that.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52£20? Surely worth that. £10 anyone?
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Thank you. I'm started at £10. At 10. 15?
0:32:55 > 0:32:5920 would you like? At £20. £20 here with the lady.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03At £20. £20. Have we any further calls?
0:33:03 > 0:33:08- £20 is all I have for this?- He's unlikely to get any more, is he?
0:33:08 > 0:33:15Crumbs. I'm sensing a bit of tension here as James only doubles his money. He's going crackers.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- It was worn, James. - A bit worn.- It was worn.
0:33:20 > 0:33:25Next, James Braxton's children's tea set.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- I paid £10 for this. - Don't tell anyone.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32£10 to get on for this. No interest at £10?
0:33:32 > 0:33:37Surely there's somebody out there. Buy it for somebody you don't like.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41How about a fiver, then? £5 at the back of the room. 10.
0:33:41 > 0:33:4515. At 15. Shakes his head. At £15 at the back of the room.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49I will sell, make no mistake. If there's no further calls...
0:33:49 > 0:33:52At £15, then. All done?
0:33:53 > 0:33:58£30-£40 estimate. It was so exciting, wasn't it?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00£15. Tiny.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03But it's still a profit. Just.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08Next, James Lewis' lot is the string of ivory beads.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11They're useful for restoration.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- I'm no ivory fan. - Who'll start me on those, then?
0:34:15 > 0:34:19£20 to start me, surely. £20?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21£20 I'm bid. At 20. 25.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24At 30. At 35.
0:34:24 > 0:34:2740. At 45.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31Shakes his head. At £45 on the right-hand side.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35At £45 in the room. All out at home?
0:34:35 > 0:34:38I'm selling at 45 if there's no advance. At 45.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42- 45.- Well done. That's 30 quid.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46James is slowly, but surely creeping ahead with another healthy profit.
0:34:46 > 0:34:51James Braxton's next lot is the modern silver bracelet.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Let's hope it gives him the profit he so desperately needs.
0:34:54 > 0:35:00- It's pretty, isn't it?- It is. - Who's got £20 for the chain? £20?
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Come on.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05£20? 10, then, to get on, surely. £10 at the back.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09We've started. £10 the bid. Who's got 15?
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- £15 for the hand over there. - Good. 15.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16He shakes his head. He's out. At 15 on the left.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Are there any further calls? Done and finished? Fair warming at home.
0:35:20 > 0:35:26- Sold for 15.- Not a lot of internet action on my lots.- A loss.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27A loss.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31It's just not James Braxton's day, is it?
0:35:31 > 0:35:37- Next, it's the 19th-century ormolu pocket watch stand for James Lewis. - Oh, here we are.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42Who's going to start me off at £30? Surely got to be worth that. 30?
0:35:42 > 0:35:4720 to get on? 20? £20 I'm bid, thank you. 5. 25.
0:35:47 > 0:35:5025. £30. 5, surely.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53At £30. That's all I have for this.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56At 30. In the room at £30. 35?
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- Are you bidding against each other? - No!- You want to watch doing that.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Go on! Do bid against each other!
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Go on! Bid against!
0:36:05 > 0:36:11- At 30. For the last time. If there's no advance, I will sell at £30.- Back of the room!- 35.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Your turn to go again, sir. 40.
0:36:14 > 0:36:1645, thank you. 45.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Are you sure? At 45. 45.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23One more? Maybe? At 45 at the back of the room. I've tried for you.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26What can I do? £45. I'm selling.
0:36:26 > 0:36:33A timely profit. Maybe the other James could do with the husband and wife bidding on his items!
0:36:33 > 0:36:38I was more amused by the husband and wife bidding against each other.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40That's all right. Double money.
0:36:40 > 0:36:46Next for James Braxton is the oriental silver lid he bought as part of a job lot.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50- Your little silver bowl. - Who's got £20?
0:36:50 > 0:36:53£20, surely. Who's got £20? £10?
0:36:53 > 0:36:58£10 for the hand at the back. Who'd like 15 here? 15.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02Would you go again? £15 on the left-hand side.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06At 15. At 15. For the last time. 20 to the 'net.
0:37:06 > 0:37:12At £20. Do you want to go again. Shakes his head. £20 to the internet.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- £20.- Selling then at 20.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- 20.- That's not good, is it?- No.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25If you want to go home now, James, it's fine. We'll hold the fort.
0:37:25 > 0:37:31Strike a light! It's the Victorian match case, but will it spark any interest?
0:37:31 > 0:37:37£10 note to get on? £10 to start this one? Thank you. The lady's there at 10.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- £10.- You're away.- £15. 20 again?
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Yes, £20 I'm bid. At 20.
0:37:42 > 0:37:455 again to the internet bidder.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47At 25. Want to go again, madam?
0:37:47 > 0:37:52Out at the front, then. At home at £25.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54All done and finished? 30.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56£30. £30.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Fair warning at home. Selling to the internet at £30.
0:38:00 > 0:38:06- Done. At £30.- That's not bad. - 30. Brilliant. Pleased with that.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11So you should be. A great mark-up. James is as happy as a pig in...
0:38:11 > 0:38:13profit.
0:38:13 > 0:38:18Goodness, gracious! Time for James Braxton's next item.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23- A gourd, elevated to artistic status.- It's a gourd lot!- It is.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27- Look, I do the gags. - And it comes with a Chinese bowl.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28Yeah, OK.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Start me off. Who's got 40? £40?
0:38:32 > 0:38:3440. Who's got 20, then, to get on?
0:38:34 > 0:38:38£20? It's got to be worth that. £20 anywhere?
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Interesting lot. £20 at the back. £20 bid. Who's got 5?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- At 20. At 20. - Come on! It's worth more!
0:38:45 > 0:38:50Should be worth more than that. I rated it more like 60 or 70.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- Definitely! - Come on. At £20. At 20. At 20.
0:38:54 > 0:38:585 anywhere else? It's the young gentleman at the back.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03- If there's no further calls, I have instructions to sell.- Oh, no!
0:39:03 > 0:39:08You're all out except for the young gentleman? Selling at £20.
0:39:08 > 0:39:15- Ouch!- That was rather disappointing. - I'll say! A loss of £35 would wipe the smile from anyone's face.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Bad luck, Brackers, old boy.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23The next lot has caused a little controversy.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27It's the Irish silver sugar basket. Or is it?
0:39:27 > 0:39:32Here's the basket. Irish silver. Or I'm hoping is Irish silver.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37We have a difference of opinion, myself and James, on this one.
0:39:37 > 0:39:44I believe it's silver-plated, James believes it's silver. We are selling it as white metal.
0:39:44 > 0:39:50- He thinks it's silver plate because it's not marked. - Who's going to start me off?
0:39:50 > 0:39:54£50 to get on? £50 for it? £50?
0:39:54 > 0:39:59- Surely it's got to be worth that. - They've written "silver metal".
0:39:59 > 0:40:0255 anywhere else? 55. 60. 60 in the room.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Out at home at £60. At £60.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11- It wouldn't make that if it was silver plate. - They have written silver, though.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Against you at home. At £70. £70.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19Is there 5 anywhere else? I'd like a bit more, please. At £70.
0:40:19 > 0:40:26Finished at home. Anyone else? At £70. 5 in the corner. 75. 80. 85.
0:40:26 > 0:40:3190. Starting to roll now. 95. £100. Would you like 10, madam?
0:40:31 > 0:40:33110. Shakes his head.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36That's because it's silver!
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Want to go again? You sure? 110.
0:40:39 > 0:40:46- Go on.- All out at home. At 110. I'm selling if there's no advance to the lady at £110.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- Good.- Well done.
0:40:49 > 0:40:55- That's double your money. - Well, whatever its silver pedigree, the bidders love the sugar basket.
0:40:55 > 0:41:01Sweet. Next, it's James Braxton's final lot, the Walker and Hall tray.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Quite a lot of wear on it.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Is there £10 to get on for this? £10, surely.
0:41:07 > 0:41:12Who's got a fiver for it? £5 to get started. In the middle.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16- At 5. At 8.- Go on!- At 8.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19We've 10 on the net. Going crazy!
0:41:19 > 0:41:26At £15, the lady on the left. At £15 then, all done? If there's no advances, I will sell. At 15.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31That's yours, madam. 318. Thank you very much.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- Oh, James.- Oh, James, indeed! It's been a bad day for James Braxton.
0:41:35 > 0:41:40So much so, they've gone all mute. Both of them.
0:41:41 > 0:41:47James Lewis' last lot is the Kobe Japanese novelty and the oriental trousse.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Who's going to start me off? 40?
0:41:49 > 0:41:53£40, thank you. At £40. 45. 50.
0:41:53 > 0:41:5655? 55 on the left-hand side. At 55.
0:41:56 > 0:41:5955. 55. 60. 65.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03- It's all around us.- 75. 80.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06£80 there. 80. At 80.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08At 80. At 80. At 80. Are we done?
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Are we finished? All out at home?
0:42:11 > 0:42:13The hammer's up at 80.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16- Well done.- Good.
0:42:16 > 0:42:22A final flourish for James Lewis and another tidy profit to end with.
0:42:22 > 0:42:27You should be smothering that auctioneer in kisses.
0:42:27 > 0:42:33After you. James Braxton started the show with £186.84
0:42:33 > 0:42:37and after auction costs he's made a loss of £63.50,
0:42:37 > 0:42:42sending him through to the next round with £123.34.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46James Lewis started with £268.34
0:42:46 > 0:42:50and after auction costs he's made a profit of £153.60,
0:42:50 > 0:42:54taking his total to £421.94
0:42:54 > 0:42:57and claiming his second victory in a row.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02I think I'll drive, James.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06It will keep my mind off the obvious disappointment.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Oh, this seat's wet!
0:43:11 > 0:43:16Oh, dear. Now come on, boys, cheer up. It's still all to play for.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19- On to the next.- On to the next.
0:43:19 > 0:43:24Next time: when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
0:43:24 > 0:43:30All the way to Jersey and it's not just the locals having a hard time.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34I wonder what 34p buys you in a very splendid antiques shop.
0:43:34 > 0:43:39- You're a hard man.- I'm not that hard! I haven't given you a price!
