0:00:01 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts
0:00:04 > 0:00:05with £200 each,
0:00:05 > 0:00:07a classic car
0:00:07 > 0:00:11and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Yippee!
0:00:12 > 0:00:13My heart is racing!
0:00:13 > 0:00:18The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction. But it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21There'll be worth winners and valiant losers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Evening all!
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Jonny, are we going to end up in a dead end?
0:00:30 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Today we're on the road with a delightful pair of antiques experts,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Anita Manning and Jonathan Pratt.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Jonny, it's a bit wet today!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Why have you not got a coat on?
0:00:52 > 0:00:58I'm sick of wearing... It's that weather where it's about 19 degrees, but we're just a bit wet!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00So I don't want to get too hot.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03All right. Especially when you're sitting next to me!
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Yeah, well, you're too hot already!
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Oh, Lordy!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Anita Manning set up her own auction house
0:01:11 > 0:01:14in Glasgow 27 years ago.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15She is one feisty lady!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Could you go to 25?
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Mmmmmmm....
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Oh, you're a hard lady, aren't you?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25But deep down, she's a real softie.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Are you happy?- I'm very, very happy. - Oh, excellent.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33This is Jonathan Pratt. He's a respected auctioneer
0:01:33 > 0:01:37and he's really trying hard to be a right tough talker.
0:01:38 > 0:01:4060 and I'll walk away.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42He's a real dare-devil.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47I wouldn't say I'm nervous, but I might end up with a dirty pair of Chinos!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Jonathan had a disappointing first auction,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53but as the come-back kid, was victorious second time round.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55All finished at 240?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Are you ecstatic?- Yes!
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Anita is enjoying steady progress
0:02:01 > 0:02:03and her love for jewellery is keeping her profits topped up.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05£65.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10From his original £200,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Jonathan has made some respectable gains.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16He has a princely £426.74 to play with.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Although Anita didn't win the second leg,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24she's still ahead by a whisker.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27She has £445.84 in her purse.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Anita and Jonathan are travelling in the 1964 MG
0:02:34 > 0:02:37and oh dear, it doesn't have a roof!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- It's chucking it down now!- Yes!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43You stupid boy! You should put on your coat!
0:02:44 > 0:02:45You tell him, Anita!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Our experts are travelling over 400 miles
0:02:49 > 0:02:54from the city of Glasgow all the way to Llangefni, on the island of Anglesey.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02On today's show, they're beginning in the Yorkshire town of Middleham
0:03:02 > 0:03:06and will auction in Luddenden Foot, in Halifax.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Middleham Castle was the childhood home of Richard III,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16and it was here that he learned the skills of knighthood
0:03:16 > 0:03:17in 1462.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24We begin our shopping expedition with the scurrying Anita.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27She's like a little caped crusader!
0:03:30 > 0:03:31As a veteran Road Tripper,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Anita has met many antiques dealers.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37- Angela?- Yes?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Owner Angela is one of them.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Hello?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Hello, it's lovely to see you again.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- It's lovely to see you.- And you.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I've been before, but you've got tons of new stock.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Absolutely lovely.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Now, I love these prints.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56They're beautiful and decorative.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59The images are so appealing.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03The frames are new, so they've been recently done.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08I'm hoping the prints are old, but they're not of high quality.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11But they're just so lovely to look at.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I think these will be really appealing to the buyers.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16They're lovely.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Anita wants them for £40.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Angela calls the owner of the prints to see if a deal can be done.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Angela, how are we doing?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- She will let them go. - Oh, she'll let them go!
0:04:29 > 0:04:32She's reluctant because now I've got to find another pair!
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Oh!
0:04:34 > 0:04:35I'll see what I can find.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- So 40 quid?- Yes.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41And onwards we go.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Anita's still in the mood for buying.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I love this wee room, Angela.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48There's always wee treasures in here.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Work in progress!- Work in progress!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I was looking at these fans here.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- It pulls out.- Let's look at that one first of all.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59It's got little roses on it.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- That's very frou-frou. - It is very, isn't it?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Do I suit it?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- In a certain setting, perhaps. - In a certain setting!
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Oh, look.- One of its legs is a bit loose.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- And what is this, Malibu? - Marabou or...
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Not Malibu! Malibu's a big... - No, Marabou.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Marabou. Malibu's a big...- A drink!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26That's right, Anita. Just a slip of the tongue, love, I'm sure!
0:05:26 > 0:05:30These lovely fluffy feathers on this fan, in a rather shi-shi style,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34were commonly used by Burlesque dancers and showgirls to cover up their bits.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Now you're talking!
0:05:37 > 0:05:39What sort of age is that?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42It's a bit difficult to define, really.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47I could say 1920s, I would think. Something like that. Or maybe a bit earlier.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49And these are more modern.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I don't know.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53They do make a nice collection.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58And, of course, it looks so nice with your kid gloves.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Yes, they are French kid gloves.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03They feel like the height of elegance.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Make you feel good, don't they? - Uh-huh.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Anita decides she wants to go for a combo buy,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14consisting of the kid gloves, some glove stretchers
0:06:14 > 0:06:16and the selection of four fans.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20The original ticket price for the lot is £70.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25What I would like to pay on that is probably £30.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Oh, no, no. No. No way!
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- No.- It's not enough?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31No!
0:06:31 > 0:06:3345.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- Could you possibly come to 35?- No.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- No?- No. 45, and that's it.
0:06:42 > 0:06:4345?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Could you go 40?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Two.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48It's a deal!
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Oh, you're a great woman!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54You bargain like hell!
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Canny Scotswoman meets canny Yorkshire woman! Great deal, Anita!
0:07:00 > 0:07:02She's definitely on a shopping spree this morning
0:07:02 > 0:07:07and she's found something else that's well, unusual, I think you'll agree!
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Angela, this is one mad bird here
0:07:12 > 0:07:19- talking to another mad bird about an absolutely mad bird!- Absolutely!
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Er, I'm not saying a word!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Will you sell that to me for a fiver?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Will you sell it to me?- I can't do it at a fiver. Sorry, I can't.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32- I paid more for it.- You did? Are you mad paying more than a fiver for that?
0:07:32 > 0:07:33No, cos I love it!
0:07:33 > 0:07:37It's a coconut. No, it would have to be a tenner.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Hmm. I don't think this is what you'd call an antique, Anita.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Springy, though!
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Give me a better price on it. Give me it for a fiver!
0:07:45 > 0:07:48No, it would have to be eight, so I can wipe my face.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Let's say eight quid. - Thank you very much.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52We're probably mad!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57That's a packet of antiques for Anita's first shop.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Now, where's that young whipper-snapper JP?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06He's braved the lashing rain
0:08:06 > 0:08:09to travel to the beautiful village of West Burton
0:08:09 > 0:08:11within the Yorkshire Dales.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Right in the middle of the village lies the old smithy,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20an antique shop owned by the delectable Elaine.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25- It's just stopped raining.- Hello, there.- This is the old smithy?- Yes.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34This is quite cute.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38This is rather unusual. It's a decorative version of a child's potty!
0:08:40 > 0:08:46- What I find alarming is you'd put a child on a pot and it rocks! - It had a seat on there as well.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48There we go!
0:08:48 > 0:08:50There was a seat on there at some time as well.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54It would have had a restraining bar as well.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57So you could sit them on it. It's a copy of Daddy's lambing chair.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02So Dad would have one. Often they had a drawer at the front as well.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Would you take £40 for it?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Ooh, you're a hard man!
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- I'm just going in on...- Dearie me! - I know, I know.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It probably is 19th century.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15But elements are slightly more modern.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Could I squeeze another tenner out of you?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Come on, Jonathan. It's not that difficult!
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Make a decision. A number one or a number two?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27How about £50?
0:09:27 > 0:09:2845?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34OK!
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Yeah, OK!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I think Elaine wants you out of the shop, mate!
0:09:39 > 0:09:43But from a ticket price of £75 to £45,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45well done, Jonathan!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48And I'll tell you something.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Jonathan is a thoroughly polite chap.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55He's picked Anita up to keep the wheels moving on our Road Trip adventure.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01# You are my sunshine
0:10:01 > 0:10:04# My little sunshine
0:10:04 > 0:10:07# You make me happy
0:10:07 > 0:10:09# When skies are grey... #
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Turn the volume down, Anita!
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Ooh!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Oh, Jonny!
0:10:14 > 0:10:15What a scamp!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Next stop for Jonathan is Masham in North Yorkshire.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- A-ha!- Good name. That's a good name. - Aura. It's got a good aura.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Good aura. You know what they say in Scotland?
0:10:29 > 0:10:30"Aura best"!
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Aura best! Nicely put.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Jonathan is going to continue his shopping quest here.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40But for now, let's join Anita as she takes over the wheel. Stand by!
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- OK, darling.- See you later. - Have a good time.- And you.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45And remember, "Aura best"!
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Anita is travelling to Ripon in North Yorkshire
0:10:55 > 0:10:57for an exquisite treat.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05She's visiting the splendid historic mansion house of Newby Hall.
0:11:06 > 0:11:12In the late 1600s, Sir Christopher Wren helped design this stunning property.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15The present owners, the Compton family, are descended from William Weddell
0:11:15 > 0:11:20who, in 1748, bought Newby from a legacy from his uncle.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26With the help of architects including Robert Adam,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Weddell enlarged and redesigned the interior.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34After recent restoration, the family home and gardens are open to the public.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Anita is meeting with Stewart Gill to find out more.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- Hello. I'm Anita.- Lovely to meet you. Lovely to see you. Welcome to Newby Hall.
0:11:45 > 0:11:51It's lovely to be here. What a wonderful entrance hall! Designed by?
0:11:51 > 0:11:56- Robert Adam.- Of course.- You can see lots of elements of his design that he's famous for.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00From the neo-classical designs to the Chippendale-made chairs
0:12:00 > 0:12:03to Robert Adam's designs.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05That pattern reflected in the floor.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09And then indeed that roundel reflected in the ceiling.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11So the whole thing hangs together, as it were.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14And all in perfect harmony!
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Yes. That symmetry was something that he was very keen on.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20And reflected in the whole house?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Absolutely. There are treasures throughout the house,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25not only Robert Adam, a lot of his work,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28but also treasures collected by William Weddell.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Come through and we'll show you a bit more.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36William Weddell embarked on a tour of Europe in 1766,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38commonly known as the Grand Tour.
0:12:38 > 0:12:44This journey was popular with British nobility and wealthy landed classes
0:12:44 > 0:12:47and during this time, Weddell brought back some magnificent treasures
0:12:47 > 0:12:51and became a ground-breaking collector of antiquities.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Within the house lies one of the finest private collections
0:12:56 > 0:12:58of statuary in Britain.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00That's sculpture, to you and me!
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Ah!
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Welcome to the statue gallery. - Wow!
0:13:16 > 0:13:21- Were these the antiques of the 18th century?- Absolutely. You hit the nail on the head.
0:13:21 > 0:13:27These were collected by those that were on the Grand Tour in that 1760, 1770 period.
0:13:27 > 0:13:33And they were antiques that were very collectable at that particular time.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35So times haven't really changed. People want the...
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Did he wander round? How did he find these? Were they sourced?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43There were dealers, as these pieces were being dug up, actually.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47They were being rescued from the earth, as it were.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48They would be taken by a dealer
0:13:48 > 0:13:51who would then restore them.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54These came from a dealer called Jenkins.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58So William Weddell befriended or found Jenkins...
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Doesn't sound an Italian name!
0:13:59 > 0:14:03No, he was an Englander as well, over there.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06He'd obviously seen an opportunity.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It's certainly very impressive.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11But Stewart, what is that?!
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- What is that?- This is a Roman bath.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18The story we've been told by the experts
0:14:18 > 0:14:21is that the lid is 18th century,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25so this is a relatively modern addition to make it more saleable.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30So the antique dealer has sort of made an addition
0:14:30 > 0:14:31to make it more saleable?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34To make it more saleable. That would never happen nowadays, would it?
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Within the collection is an extremely rare marble from Ancient Rome.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47This is our oldest piece. This is first century.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- She's 2,000 years old?- Exactly. She looks well on it, doesn't she?
0:14:51 > 0:14:55It's a beautiful image with this divine Venus
0:14:55 > 0:15:00and the little child holding on to the dolphin's head.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It's really quite beautiful.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I have a big flat in the west end of Glasgow.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07My passion is to collect paintings.
0:15:07 > 0:15:13- But I could be doing with a couple of nice Roman statues.- Right.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14- Any chance?- No!
0:15:16 > 0:15:18They're here to stay!
0:15:18 > 0:15:21You'd be lucky, Anita! The collection is absolutely priceless.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25And with Anita's very own Grand Tour over for the day,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27what's her wee darling Jonathan up to?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Earlier, Anita dropped Jonathan in Masham
0:15:32 > 0:15:34to have a go at buying some more antiques.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46It's always worth looking on the floor in a place like this
0:15:46 > 0:15:49because sometimes the carpets are used as furnishing.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53The can sometimes have carpets which might be more valuable, one would hope.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56This is an Afghan. It's an Osari pattern.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Oh, yeah? Maybe we should club together to get Jonathan a new pair of shoes, eh?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Because it's this golden colour,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05they call it a golden Afghan.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07It's a nice colour.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12You've got a hint of red in there, which is washed out slightly. But that would be quite fun.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I don't know. I'll ask about it.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19The Afghan rug comes in many shapes and sizes,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22but the most typical is that with the octagonal elephant's footprint,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26which is what we see here in the design in the centre.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I quite like these because they're different
0:16:33 > 0:16:38and there's loads of decanters, clear decanters and cut glass ones,
0:16:38 > 0:16:42but it's just got that sort of hint of lime in it
0:16:42 > 0:16:45which I suppose you could say is quite fashionable.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48And they are late 19th century.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Bit of fun.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54OK.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Well, he's certainly got his eye on a few things.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00And now he's found an 18th century plate rack.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01As you do!
0:17:02 > 0:17:05There's no price on this, which is always a good start.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07He's obviously waiting for a dresser to go with it.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Or maybe the dresser's being restored.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15But these are sort of popular. Useful in the kitchen.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Hmm.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Oh, no! I was doing so well!
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Jonathan, get a grip, and go and strike a deal with owner Robert.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36The total asking price for the rug, the decanters and the plate rack
0:17:36 > 0:17:38is £135.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Go, boy, go!
0:17:39 > 0:17:43How about if I bought the plate rack
0:17:43 > 0:17:46and the rug and the decanters...
0:17:47 > 0:17:49..would you take 100 quid?
0:17:50 > 0:17:51115.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54105?
0:17:56 > 0:17:57110!
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Was that where I was aiming?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01110 quid. That would be...
0:18:01 > 0:18:04In your own time, Jonathan, eh?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Go on, then.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09That's three items bought. I can go home now.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Thank you very much.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12I can stop now!
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Finally, we make a decision
0:18:14 > 0:18:18and managed to shave a little off the ticket prices.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Now, back together again, our intrepid travellers
0:18:24 > 0:18:26are ready to turn in for the evening.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Nighty-night!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34It's a new day, and even though it's raining,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37our antiques duo are in high spirits.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41# Just singing in the rain
0:18:41 > 0:18:45# What a glorious feeling
0:18:45 > 0:18:48# I'm happy again. #
0:18:49 > 0:18:51What's the next line?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- Oh, I don't know.- Ooh, look, York Minster!- Oh, is it really?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01So far, Jonathan has spent £155 on four lots.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05The child's potty chair, the Afghan rug,
0:19:05 > 0:19:10the 18th-century oak plate rack and a pair of lime green glass decanters.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15Leaving a meaty sum of £271.74 for the day ahead.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Anita, meanwhile, has spent £90 on three items.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26The pair of gilt-framed prints,
0:19:26 > 0:19:30the ladies' lot with fans, kid gloves and glove stretchers,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- and the...- (SPLUTTERS) - ..metal bird thing.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41So that gives her a chunky wad of £355.84 to spend.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Today, Anita and Jonathan have travelled to the ancient walled city of York.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Founded by the Romans in 71 AD,
0:19:52 > 0:19:57the city has a rich heritage. Also, Dame Judi Dench was born here,
0:19:57 > 0:19:58don't you know.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Blimey, Anita's got her hands full with young Jonathan, look!
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Oh, Lordy!
0:20:05 > 0:20:09You were trying to shove me in the puddle. You're a bad boy!
0:20:10 > 0:20:11We've been an hour looking for it.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15They're sharing their first shop, bang in the middle of the city.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Let's follow Anita first.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20# She's a lady
0:20:20 > 0:20:24# Wo-oh-oh, she's a lady
0:20:25 > 0:20:28# Talkin' about a little lady
0:20:29 > 0:20:33# And the lady is mine. #
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Anita finds owner, Clare, to ask about something that's taken her fancy.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Evening, all!
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Does it suit me?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Move along, madam! You've got antiques to buy.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55And before you know it, guess what she's asked to have a look at?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Anita simply loves jewellery.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01It's not gold. I was hoping that it was gold!
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Right. Yes.- But I knew it wouldn't be at £12.- Yes.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06But it is gold-plated.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10But I can see a wee bit of quality at the back. It's not a cheap piece.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Purple's always a popular colour, isn't it?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Yeah.- For amethyst glass.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25What I'd like to be paying for that is about eight pounds.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Can that be done?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28What was it, 12 on the ticket?
0:21:28 > 0:21:33If I could meet you somewhere in between, nine - would that be OK?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36We'll go for that. Let's go for it. That's smashing.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38She just can't help herself.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I can imagine what her jewellery box will be like!
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Purchase in hand, Anita's off to fetch her young charge
0:21:46 > 0:21:48who is leaving empty-handed.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Come on, Jonny, get your shoes on. Let's go.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I've got nice dry feet. How about you?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Well, my purse is empty, Jonny.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Empty?- Empty.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I don't believe it. I don't believe it in the slightest!
0:22:04 > 0:22:06This pair are inseparable.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Anita's walking Jonathan to his next destination.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11They simply can't bear to be apart!
0:22:11 > 0:22:12I'm going up there, I hope.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Right up to the top?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- I hope so.- If I see you, I'll wave.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Have a lovely afternoon. Good luck. - Bye!
0:22:19 > 0:22:20# Gloria!
0:22:25 > 0:22:26# Gloria!
0:22:31 > 0:22:33# Gloria! Gloria!
0:22:33 > 0:22:34# Gloria! #
0:22:34 > 0:22:37The iconic York Minster
0:22:37 > 0:22:40is the second-largest Gothic cathedral in northern Europe.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Work began on the building in 1220
0:22:45 > 0:22:48and took two-and-a-half centuries to complete!
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Each of the three towers are 200 feet high.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Approximately two million individual pieces of glass
0:22:57 > 0:23:02make up the cathedral's 128 stained glass windows.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Due to the age and sheer magnitude of York Minster,
0:23:07 > 0:23:13there are over 50 people working on restoration projects connected with this wonderful building.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Jonathan is meeting with Rebecca Thompson, the lady in charge of them.
0:23:23 > 0:23:2726 stonemasons are employed to carry out careful restoration work.
0:23:27 > 0:23:33They train for four years to hone this exquisite craft.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38The York Minster stonemason is regarded as one of the most skilled in the country.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43The restoration work on the Minster's Great East Window
0:23:43 > 0:23:47is the largest project and began in 2008.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49The masonry is painstakingly cleaned
0:23:49 > 0:23:52and, where needed, restored or replaced.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I hope Jonathan has a head for heights!
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Well, Jonathan, this is the tracery of the Great East Window.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06We've cleaned the stone and identified where we need new stone putting in.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10That will all start to be fixed in the next week or two.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15And then we are conserving and consolidating these original carvings
0:24:15 > 0:24:19around the window, the stones round the window,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21and we've had to put new stones in,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24the weathering stones that you can see to the side,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28and they actually keep the water, weather, moisture, off the stones
0:24:28 > 0:24:30but give it a fine balance.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34It's quite amazing that where we are, 30 metres in the air,
0:24:34 > 0:24:41that they were doing the same thing, 600, 700 years ago,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43and they'd have a wooden scaffold
0:24:43 > 0:24:45and they'd have to hand-lift everything up here.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50Well, no, they didn't. They did actually have lifting mechanisms.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53They had like a hamster wheel mechanism, medieval masons.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- With people running inside it? - Yes, people running inside it!
0:24:56 > 0:24:59They must have been very intelligent to build a building like this.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01It's incredible, the engineering.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05On some of these pieces of stonework,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07there's very little detail.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12I'm assuming that this is... Some of it's made up?
0:25:12 > 0:25:13You have no drawings to go from.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15We do have drawings.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20We have sketches made from quite a number of years ago
0:25:20 > 0:25:23by various artists or people recording the building.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28We've got a whole record of information in our library.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30It is quite precise work
0:25:30 > 0:25:35and we do stick to the designs that show the design of the building.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- And all this stonework is produced on site.- It is.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- Presumably...- Down here.- Downstairs.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Downstairs.- Let's have a look.- OK.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52This is where our stonemasons work, in the stonemasons' lodge.
0:25:52 > 0:25:58You can see Nolan and Jamie masoning some tracery stones
0:25:58 > 0:25:59- at the moment.- OK.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04- And this is a reproduction of a sort of medieval...- Yes.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06They would have worked in places like this
0:26:06 > 0:26:10very close to the site of the restoration they were doing
0:26:10 > 0:26:13or the new-build works they were doing at the time.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15These are old tracery stones they're working on.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18We'll start fixing the tracery stones next week.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22You can see here a stone that's nearly finished, this piece.
0:26:22 > 0:26:29And next to it, we've got a piece of shaft stone from the north quire restoration works.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Part of the big pillars?- Yes. Right.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36You can see the moulding. That's a slice through from the outside of the windows.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41And what we'd like to do is give this to you
0:26:41 > 0:26:43to auction it off.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46We've got a certificate of authenticity to show it comes from the Minster.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Right! Wonderful.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It's a tempting thought,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53but the good lad wants to make an offer.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54If I give you a tenner, that'll be OK, will it?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Absolutely fine.- Brilliant. Thank you.- Thank you.- Thanks.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59A tenner well spent, young man.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Interesting to see how it fares at auction.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Now, where's Anita?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11She's made her way to the village of Huntingdon,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14just a few miles from the city of York.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16She's a chip off the old block.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18She's on a mission to find some more antiques
0:27:18 > 0:27:20in the French House.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23As you can guess, the wares have a distinct Gallic flavour.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25C'est magnifique!
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Ah, hello. I'm Anita.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32- My name is Stephen. - Stephen, what a fascinating place!
0:27:34 > 0:27:36True to form, she's spotted the hats.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I can't resist hats. I can't resist!
0:27:43 > 0:27:46But owner Stephen gets Anita back on track
0:27:46 > 0:27:47with her buying mission.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52That would fit in the corner of any room or hallway
0:27:52 > 0:27:56to take a vase, a lamp or whatever, if you like them.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01I do like them. This sort of leaf shape here and a little bead.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- They're all carved.- Uh-huh.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06And the marble's in good condition as well.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08All depends on the price, though, Stephen.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Absolute best would be £40 for the two.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14I like those, Stephen. I think those are great.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19- I think that at £40, you've got a deal.- Good.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- Thank you so much.- Pleasure.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23With Anita's shopping completed for the day,
0:28:23 > 0:28:27it's time to meet up with Jonathan at the magnificent Middlethorpe Hall
0:28:27 > 0:28:31to have a nosey at one-another's antiques goodies.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- This is it. Here we go.- Here we go.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Ah!
0:28:38 > 0:28:43- Right.- Jonathan, that is the most beautiful little chair.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47It's basically a copy of Dad's lambing chair for the child.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49It would have been a potty training aid,
0:28:49 > 0:28:52but the seat's now gone.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55But otherwise, colour, patina, everything, it's all there.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58I think it's a charming thing. I love it to bits.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00How much did it cost you?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02£45.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- I think that's wonderful. - I think it's wonderful, too.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10- And I like these.- Yep.- Although they're just late 19th-century decanters,
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I just love the colour. They're really cool.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- What's that big thing there? - I've just been up York Minster.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- Is that a bit of York Minster? - Yes!- It's not!
0:29:20 > 0:29:21It is.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23He didn't nick it, honest!
0:29:23 > 0:29:28This is part of the facade of a column on the outside.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31They cut it into slices like this and then sell it on.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- It comes with a certificate as well. - Right.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- So a bit of York Minster. - It's mid-19th century.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39It's not 12th or 13th century, sadly.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- I think that's what will bring you the biggest profit.- Thanks a lot for that(!)
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Show me what tat you've bought, then! Come on!
0:29:46 > 0:29:47Mine's a bit of a mixed bag.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50I hope it brings a smile to your face, my darling.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58How funny! It is a mixed bag, isn't it?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00It is a mixed bag.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03The first thing I bought, a pair of prints.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07Very decorative, very, very bonny.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10I thought that they were appealing.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- They're pretty. Nice frames, too. - Pretty.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- I bought them because I liked them. - How much did they cost?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- They cost me £40 for the pair. - That's very good.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23I've got a wee sort of girly lot here. I hope it appeals to your feminine side.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- I'm used to pink. - You're used to pink.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- So I've paid £42 on them.- Yes.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- I worried a wee bit afterwards. - The quality's there, really.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Yes, in the French gloves.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37And I bought this creature here.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Is this a coconut?- That's the coco and this is the nut!
0:30:42 > 0:30:43I think you're right!
0:30:43 > 0:30:46This is one mad bird fancies another mad bird!
0:30:48 > 0:30:50I didn't pay a lot of money for it.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- What's not a lot of money? - Eight quid.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Let's hope it doesn't go "cheep"!
0:30:55 > 0:30:58So how do you think we'll do in auction?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Stuff that's out of fashion and a lot of rubbish!
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Yeah. On that note, let's go!
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Having seen each other's purchases,
0:31:08 > 0:31:10what do our experts really think?
0:31:11 > 0:31:16My favourite piece is that big lump of York Minster.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21I think the certificate is worth even more than £10.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Anita's lots are barking mad, aren't they?
0:31:23 > 0:31:26She came up with a coconut with a spring for a head!
0:31:26 > 0:31:27But cheap.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Let's get back on the road and head to auction.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38It's been a competitive third leg,
0:31:38 > 0:31:42starting in Middleham via West Burton, Masham, Ripon,
0:31:42 > 0:31:46York, Huntingdon, with the final destination in Luddenden Foot
0:31:46 > 0:31:48in Halifax on the horizon.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Luddenden Foot is a small village
0:31:53 > 0:31:55in the beautiful West Yorkshire countryside.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03Calder Valley auctioneers has been established here since 1996.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Ian Peace is our auctioneer for today.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Which items have really caught his eye?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I think the coconut is an absolute scream.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16But what it's doing in an antiques sale, I do not know!
0:32:17 > 0:32:20The Afghan rug, we can't fall out with that.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27Jonathan Pratt started today with £426.74.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30He spent £165 on five auction lots.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Anita Manning began with £445.84
0:32:36 > 0:32:39and spent £139 also on five lots.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Not only do we have a packed sale room,
0:32:42 > 0:32:45we also have an audience live on the web.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47All eyes to the front, now.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48The auction is about to begin.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52First up, it's Anita's matching pair of prints.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55You've got to make some money today cos I'm snapping at your heels!
0:32:58 > 0:32:59- £10.- Ten?

0:33:10 > 0:33:1222.50.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27Yes! Yes!
0:33:27 > 0:33:2932.50, then. Back of the room.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Are we all finished at 32.50?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34SHE GROANS
0:33:34 > 0:33:35Oh, dear.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38I think Anita finds that result more than a little painful!
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Very disappointing. That was my star lot.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48Next up it's Jonathan's hulking big plate rack.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50£20.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52£20?
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Oh, dear.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- It's 18th century. - I know it's 18th century!
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Don't believe a word he says!
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Come on. £15, that plate rack there.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04£15.

0:34:31 > 0:34:32Anybody else now?
0:34:32 > 0:34:34At £22.50.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38That's even worse than my prints!
0:34:38 > 0:34:39Yeah, exactly.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Nothing like rubbing it in, Anita!
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Not a good start for either of our experts.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51Next it's Anita's intriguing ladies' lot.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52Lot 75.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55The French kid gloves, gloves stretchers,
0:34:55 > 0:34:59ostrich feather, et cetera!
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Where are you going to start me? £20?

0:35:15 > 0:35:17- £16.- (Come on! Come on!)
0:35:18 > 0:35:20We've come to a grinding halt at 16.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Here we go. Chuck 'em over there.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29Just goes to show that modelling the fans didn't help.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Another crushing loss, Anita.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34We're not doing very well here, are we?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Just a loss on that one.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Never a truer word, Anita.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40It's Jonathan's Afghan rug next.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44£50? 40?
0:35:44 > 0:35:46- 30?- It's a lovely rug.

0:35:55 > 0:35:59- The Afghan rug at £20. - Put the dog on it.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01I'm selling at 20.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Hard luck, darling.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05It's a tough crowd, isn't it?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07A tough crowd today.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Oh, Lordy. Surely things have got to pick up?
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Uh-oh! I don't think I can look!
0:36:17 > 0:36:20It's Anita's coconut bird with the springy neck next.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Jonathan, this bird is going to fly!
0:36:25 > 0:36:27- That's confidence.- Yes!
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Now, then, the star lot of the sale!
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Star lot! It's beautiful!
0:36:32 > 0:36:36It's been sculpted out of metal and a coconut.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38- Right. 20 anywhere? 20?- Yes!
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Ten?
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- Ten pounds?- Surely not.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- Five?- Surely not.- Come on!
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Don't be embarrassed!
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Thank you!
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Find a carrier bag! Five pounds I'm bid.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Five. 7.50 anywhere?
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Five pounds. 7.50.
0:36:54 > 0:36:587.50. A wonderful conversation piece at dinner parties.
0:36:58 > 0:37:007.50. Ten anywhere?
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- Ten.- Yes!- 12.50.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04- Yes!- 12.50. Come on. 12.50.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06It's worth more. 15.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08£15.
0:37:08 > 0:37:1115. Don't lose it. You won't see another one!
0:37:11 > 0:37:13You won't want to!
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Ever.- 16!
0:37:15 > 0:37:18No, we're going in 2.50's. All right, 16, then.
0:37:18 > 0:37:2016. 16, when I'm desperate.
0:37:20 > 0:37:2117.
0:37:21 > 0:37:2318. 19.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- 19.- Yes!
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Keep it nodding.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28£20. 21.
0:37:28 > 0:37:3021. 22. Keep it nodding.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Anybody else now? Has it run out of steam?
0:37:34 > 0:37:35At £22.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38Yes!
0:37:42 > 0:37:44£22,
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Jonny-boy!
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Well, who would have thought our first profit of the day
0:37:49 > 0:37:52would belong to the nodding bird?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Yes, yes. Make it go away now!
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Boing!
0:37:58 > 0:37:59That bird flew!
0:38:00 > 0:38:02And it wasn't cheap!
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Excuse me, that's my joke, Anita.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Now it's Anita's brooch next.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Can she get another splurge of profit?
0:38:13 > 0:38:1615 to open. £15. £15.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Yes, come on.
0:38:18 > 0:38:1912?

0:38:53 > 0:38:55She's well and truly back in the game.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Gee whizz!
0:38:58 > 0:39:00You're in overall profit at the moment.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04It's Jonathan's turn next, with the pair of decanters.

0:39:41 > 0:39:45- I can barely contain myself. - Well done, Jonathan. Well done.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Ah, bless him.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Jonathan has finally managed some profit.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52I'm flying backwards at the moment.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54You made a good profit there.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56And you've got two other items to go.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Don't be downhearted, darling.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Have you ever thought of taking up counselling? You're very good!
0:40:02 > 0:40:04- Very good.- Just call me Auntie!
0:40:05 > 0:40:09Auntie Anita is very supportive.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12But will he need more counselling after this little number?

0:40:37 > 0:40:39First and last time.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44That's another tenner down the old Swanee.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47It's not a good day for Jonathan.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51- It could have been worse, Jonny. - It could have been worse.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57Not much! Anyway, now it's Anita, with her pair of marble corner shelves.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00Ten for the two. £10.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Ten I'm bid. Thank you. At £10.

0:41:12 > 0:41:1418. £18.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17All finished? At £18, then.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22That's a bit disappointing, that.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Disappointing, indeed, Anita.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27I thought you were on a roll, there.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Now for the final lot of the day.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Jonathan's lump of stone
0:41:33 > 0:41:35from his visit to York Minster.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37You're going to have to get about 300 quid
0:41:37 > 0:41:39for this big dod of York Minster!
0:41:41 > 0:41:42£20.
0:41:42 > 0:41:4515. £15.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Start me at ten. £10. Thank you.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49- Yes.- I've got £10 in.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51At £10.

0:41:59 > 0:42:00- Yes!- £22.50.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04At 22.50. Any further bids? At 22.50.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Well, I don't think he can believe it.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Lovely York Minster has served up a respectable profit.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Shall we go away and try and work out quite what the losses are?
0:42:21 > 0:42:25Jonathan started today's show with £426.74.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27And after paying auction costs,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30made a loss of £56.35
0:42:30 > 0:42:34giving him £370.39 to carry forward.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42Anita, meanwhile, started with £445.84
0:42:42 > 0:42:48and after auction costs also made a loss of £25.43.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49Despite this,
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Anita is today's winner
0:42:51 > 0:42:55and has £420.41 to take forward.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Well done, girl.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Ah, well. Better luck next time, Jonny.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Still two auctions to go.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06Yeah, well. Who knows? Who knows? It's a funny old game, this.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09There's only £50 between their totals
0:43:09 > 0:43:11so it's all to play for.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Next time on the Antiques Road Trip:
0:43:13 > 0:43:16- Could I buy that for a tenner? - Ooh, no.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18120.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Oh! 120?!
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Well, it's somewhere to start.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25In search of the very best price.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Or should that be the perfect figure?
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- I'd have to take her waist in a bit. - Depends how you like your ladies!
