0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each...
0:00:05 > 0:00:06I love that!
0:00:06 > 0:00:11..a classic car and a goal, to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- Yipee!- My heart's slightly racing.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Evening all!
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So will it be the high road to glory, or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Johnny, are we going to end up in a dead end?
0:00:30 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:39SKA VERSION OF BOND THEME PLAYS
0:00:39 > 0:00:44It's the penultimate leg of our jaunt in a little 1964 MG
0:00:44 > 0:00:47with Jonathan Pratt and Anita Manning.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52It's been quite a thriller!
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Jonathan, going to be very careful here. We're very near the edge.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- And it's a long way down! - This is not Monte Carlo.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03I'm getting vertigo.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06En garde!
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Auctioneer Anita, let's just call her Miss Moneypenny...
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Broom! Broom! Broom-broom!
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Has been setting the pace all week with her "auction man" rival,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19the slightly clumsy Johnny English,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22who's shaken but rarely stirred.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Yes, you look lovely!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26But although diamonds are forever,
0:01:26 > 0:01:30in this business, you're only as good as your last assignment.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35You bought the boring old brown furniture and I bought a lot of rubbish.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- THEY BOTH LAUGH Yeah, that's true!- And we both lost!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41OK, yesterday WAS bad.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43But they're heading in the right direction.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Jonathan began with £200
0:01:46 > 0:01:51and he's so far managed to turn that into £370.39. That's not bad!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Anita, who also started out with £200,
0:01:55 > 0:02:00now has an even more respectable £420.41.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Oh, no! It's raining again!
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- You've got your hood up now, Johnny! - Oh, yeah!
0:02:05 > 0:02:10The thing about hats is, it causes your hair to fall in a certain pattern for the rest of the day.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- You're a big sissy!- Yeah, I know.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Anita and Jonathan are travelling over 400 miles,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21through Scotland, England and Wales,
0:02:21 > 0:02:25From Glasgow all the way to Llangefni on the Isle of Anglesey.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Today, we're starting out at Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire,
0:02:30 > 0:02:35heading for an auction at Mold in Flintshire, North Wales.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Hebden Bridge is a lovely old town in the valley
0:02:39 > 0:02:44and was once full of mills, weaving the wool from the hills around and about.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47It was known as Trouser Town.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51In the past few years, it's become something of a magnet for artists.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55And, you'll be relieved to know, they still make clogs here.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Johnny, we're both in the same place this morning.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Mm.- I don't want you following me around.- Oh!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02You'll be following me around.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Jonathan can sometimes be a little uneasy about sharing,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14but this huge establishment should give them plenty of elbow room.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18There's even a pile of the sort of rugs Jonathan's usually keen on.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23But, today, he seems more focused on cabinets.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26After the bad result I had last time,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I'm going to try and go for jewellery and silver and little objects.
0:03:29 > 0:03:35Mm! Interesting. Upstairs, Anita seems to have an entirely different tactic.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I quite like this.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It's from the 1930s. Magazine rack.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48And it's got this lovely carved handle here
0:03:48 > 0:03:51and the carved sections.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Now, that's so reminiscent of the Art Deco period,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59where you have these circular, sympathetic shapes.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01It's functional. People will like that.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06And it's got a dog there and I know that people do like dogs.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09So I've got three sort of good elements there.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14I doubt she'll be so enthusiastic about it in front of the dealer, Steve, though!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16The ticket price is £22. Stand by.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22- It's not the greatest of quality. I think this is just plywood. - I think it is, yes.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- But quite a nice, clean, wee, functional item.- Yes.
0:04:25 > 0:04:31It would appeal to dog owners. Do you think that is a Welsh wolfhound?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I'm not too up on dogs, but, er, probably.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- ANITA LAUGHS - You're a great salesman!
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Yeah, looks more like an unusually vicious labrador to me.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I'd be looking to pay in the region of £10, £12.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Well, we could do it for £12.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- £12?- Yes.- I think that's a good buy for 12.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- It's a deal. Lovely! Do you think I'll make a profit? - I'm sure there will be.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Definitely.- Come on, Fido.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04Now how's our jewellery hound? Is he on the scent yet?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07This is a gold and zircon ring.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11This is the problem with jewellery -
0:05:11 > 0:05:16it takes absolutely forever to be sure what you're looking at.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Zircon's a natural stone.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22But it's very, very obvious what it is on a big stone.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25But on a small stone, it's much harder to tell.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Zircon can occur in a variety of shades
0:05:27 > 0:05:32and the colourless stones can be good, cheaper substitutes for diamonds.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35And you've got a 9-carat gold ring with a cluster of zircons.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39It's worth a punt because it's quite a pretty little cluster ring.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42The price on the box is...
0:05:42 > 0:05:43£32.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Anything else?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49This is a gold stick pin.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52It could be rolled gold. It's quite pretty.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54A little squirrel.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58He's got a little nut in his hand which is a little seed pearl.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03On with the squirrel! What-ho, old bean!
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It's rather cute, isn't it? Don't you think?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- If you say so, JP.- Maybe not.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I wonder if dealer Trish will be impressed.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14So I was wondering if you'd do the two together, perhaps for £20?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- So it's a total of 40.- Mm. - 32 and 8.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22The two of them for 32 would be all right.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Nice and easy! I'll take that. Thank you very much.- You're welcome.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Very happy with that.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I'm not surprised. But Anita likes jewellery, too,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35and I think she may be growing restless up there.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Jonathan!- Oh! Hi, Anita. - How are you getting on?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- There's so much to see, isn't there? - Can we have a wee swopsy?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- I've got one thing I want to look at. - A-ha.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Which will be five minutes.- Yeah.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Five minutes?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52You'd better get a move on then, lad.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55You can't keep the lady waiting.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I rather like this little chap here.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02It's just a nice little Victorian wheelbarrow.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06It's a late 19th-century, silver-plated,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08novelty.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11It probably is a salt cellar.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15It probably started off life with a glass liner perhaps
0:07:15 > 0:07:20and the quality of the details - I think the little screw heads are a nice little touch.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25You can see the lines are nice and dark, which is where the silver coating has tarnished,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28and it's been left buried in the corners.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33You can't fake that. It can't be done just like that. It certainly gives it the age.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34I like that a lot.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Ha! At £55, it's over to you, Trish.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42- It's got style about it. If it was silver, it would be hundreds of pounds anyway.- It's a one-off.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44So what's the best on that? Would you do 40?
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- Erm... I think 40's a little bit low for me.- 42?
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Yeah, let's stick with the twos and say 42.- 42.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57OK. Och, I'm on fire this morning! £42!
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- Oh, Lordy! Are you really? - Thank you very much. You can take that.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Cos now Anita's chomping at the bit.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Well, he's certainly come over all decisive today.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Tactical, too, it seems!
0:08:10 > 0:08:16I'm going to stick to small things and quite simply buy five objects that I could fit into my pockets.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19You would be able to do my reveal under a hankie.
0:08:19 > 0:08:25Really?! Oh, it looks like Anita's finally got her hands on some smalls! Ha!
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Is this your cabinet?- It is, yes.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Look at this little pencil here.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33This little propelling pencil and the lid is still there.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Now, that would fit in a pocket.
0:08:38 > 0:08:409-carat.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43It's quite plain and it's quite straight forward.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48I also like the fact that it's made by Sampson Mordan & Company.
0:08:48 > 0:08:54Sampson Mordan filed the first patent for a mechanical pencil in 1822.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59And the family company continued to manufacture highly collectable items
0:08:59 > 0:09:03until 1941, when their London factory was destroyed in the Blitz.
0:09:04 > 0:09:10- 56. Can you come down a bit from there?- What were you thinking of?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- In the region of 30.- 45.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- 45?- 45.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18TICK-TOCK
0:09:18 > 0:09:20TICK-TOCK
0:09:20 > 0:09:22TICK-TOCK
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Mm.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26That's ten seconds.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28On we go!
0:09:28 > 0:09:31TICK-TOCK, TICK-TOCK
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Oh, Lordy! This is a tactic.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36It's tempting.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40How are things going after all this silence?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Is 45 the very best that you can do?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- I could go to 40. - Could you go to 40?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Are happy with that?- 40 would be the best, yes.- OK, thank you.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Cor, I'm not sure what the pause-to-discount ratio was there,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55but it's a relief it's all over!
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Now, hang on. Is Jonathan changing his tune?
0:09:59 > 0:10:04HE PLAYS LONDON'S BURNING
0:10:04 > 0:10:07No, it's much worse!
0:10:09 > 0:10:10# And we have no...
0:10:10 > 0:10:13# Tune! Talent! #
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Do you think we should stick to antiques?- I think so.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Yeah, I agree!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22No need to rush into a musical career either of you.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25But your next performance certainly awaits.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30They're travelling from Hebden Bridge across the border to Burnley,
0:10:30 > 0:10:32in Lancashire.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39The two mill towns, just 15 miles apart, have quite a lot in common.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43In fact, they were once both linked by a pack-horse route,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47although, nowadays, most people prefer the A646.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Burnley was a cotton town, which, at its peak,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53boasted 99,000 power looms. Wow!
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Time for Jonathan to go solo.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- Have a nice time!- Have fun, too. - Spend lots.- Thank you.
0:11:04 > 0:11:10Well, with some 9,000 square feet of space, they certainly think big round here.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Who on earth would buy that? My word!
0:11:13 > 0:11:15How about Phil Serrell?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19But Jonathan, of course, is thinking small today.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22So what can he find that's pocket-sized?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30BELL RINGS
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Careful!
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Gosh!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Scared the life out of me.
0:11:35 > 0:11:41Let's briefly draw a veil over Jonathan's struggle to add to his tiny collection
0:11:41 > 0:11:43and see what Anita's been up to.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46She's been motoring just outside of Burnley to visit Gawthorpe Hall,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50once described as an Elizabethan gem in the heart of industrial Lancashire.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Hello, Rachel. I'm Anita. - Hello, Anita.
0:11:53 > 0:12:00It's so lovely to be here and this is wonderful. What a wonderful house! I mean, how old is it?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- The house was finished in 1605. - What does the motto say at the top?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07It says "Prudentia et Justitia",
0:12:07 > 0:12:11which is prudence and justice. That was the Shuttleworth family motto, from when the hall was built.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18It was the last of the Shuttleworth family to actually live here
0:12:18 > 0:12:21who really put Gawthorpe on the map.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Rachel K Shuttleworth had a passion for textiles
0:12:25 > 0:12:29and was a great collector until her death in 1967.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35- This is one of the largest collections outside the V&A?- Yes.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39That's right. There's over 30,000 pieces altogether.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43We've got over 500 on display here in these rooms for the public to come in and look at.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Rachel travelled the world gathering many pieces.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52And amongst the many rare and valuable items on display
0:12:52 > 0:12:56is the baby gown of Tsar Nicholas II.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Gosh!
0:12:58 > 0:13:02So this is the lady that was responsible for this wonderful collection?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Yes, that's right. This is a portrait of Rachel K Shuttleworth.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09And, really, textiles were her absolute passion, as you can see in this portrait.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Yeah. She's got a thimble on her finger.- She has, yes.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Down in the library, Anita's come to meet the director of the collection...
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Hi, Jenny. Lovely to meet you.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22..and take a closer look at a few special pieces.
0:13:22 > 0:13:28- What do we have here? - Well, this is a really unique piece of embroidery,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30which is actually embroidered on two sides.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34And it's embroidered on parchment paper, so it's extremely delicate.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37It's embroidered on paper and it's how many hundred years old?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- That's from 1708.- 1708?- Yeah.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- This is a very precious piece? - It is. It is.- Very precious.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48But my eye was caught by this beautiful piece of material.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52This is made in the Elizabethan period and it is a herb pillow.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- And this is 500 years old?- Yeah. It's one of the oldest objects in the collection.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00But the collector was quite a seamstress herself.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Miss Rachel was heavily involved with the inception of the Girl Guides.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08And this sampler was designed by Miss Rachel in 1923.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13Each Guide and each Brownie would have contributed at least one stitch.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16It's wonderful. Look at the wee tents there and the camp fire!
0:14:16 > 0:14:19There's music coming out of the fire
0:14:19 > 0:14:23and lyrics and words embroidered into the smoke.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26In the middle, we've got Miss Rachel.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Rachel K Shuttleworth believed that craft
0:14:29 > 0:14:32can help improve people's quality of life
0:14:32 > 0:14:37and the remarkable pieces she collected now both educate and inspire.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Meanwhile, back in town, Jonathan's still hunting hard for something...
0:14:48 > 0:14:50pocket-sized!
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Sewing, eh? Now, there's a coincidence.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57This is the Perfect Fit, Form-O-Matic Dress Form.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Eh!
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I should watch where I put my hands, actually. Erm...
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Steady!
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- This is quite fun, actually. I quite like this.- Do you like it?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- I suppose this is for dresses and things?- Yeah, you're right!
0:15:08 > 0:15:12You just pull these pins out and then twist from behind.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Like so.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18And then you can adjust it accordingly.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22It's unusual. I can't say I've come across one before. It's quirky.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24It sort of conjures up the nostalgia of the 1950s.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Hang on! You'll never get THAT in your pocket, lad.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32It was not really what I was looking to put my money into. £65.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36It does seem a little steep for me. What would you sell this for?
0:15:36 > 0:15:41- Mm, for you, special customer, £40. - £40.- That's a real bargain, trust me.
0:15:41 > 0:15:47- I'll have to take her waist in a bit.- Oh, yeah! Depends how you like your ladies!
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I think he's smitten. Who wouldn't be?
0:15:50 > 0:15:56- How about £30?- 32. How's that for you?- Oooh...
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Do we have a deal, Jonathan? Come on. You know you want to.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- £32. Do you know what? Why not? OK. - OK.- Thank you very much.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- It's yours.- Thank you.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Ha! Don't they make a lovely couple?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12HE HUMS
0:16:13 > 0:16:16JONATHAN SINGS: # I've got chills, they're multiplying
0:16:16 > 0:16:21# And I'm losing control... #
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Jonathan, stop mucking about!
0:16:23 > 0:16:26# Cos the power you're supplying... #
0:16:26 > 0:16:29On that note, night-night.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Next morning, resolutions are made.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43- No brown furniture, Johnny! - No brown furniture so far.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Ah! So you're not saying never? - Well...
0:16:47 > 0:16:51And he's not fibbing. Yesterday, Jonathan plumped for a ring,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54a tie pin, a tiny wheelbarrow
0:16:54 > 0:16:58and a ladies' dress manikin for a total cost of £106.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00It was not really what I was looking to put my money into.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Leaving him with almost £265 to spend today.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08While Anita lavished a mere £52 of her small fortune
0:17:08 > 0:17:12on a gold mechanical pencil and a magazine rack. Woof!
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Do you think that is a Welsh wolfhound?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Probably!
0:17:18 > 0:17:23Hey! Leaving her with almost £370 to spend today.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25They're making for an auction at Mold in North Wales,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28but their next stop is Darwen, Lancashire.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Just like the other Lancashire towns they've visited,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Darwen had its key role to play in the Industrial Revolution.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42In fact, Samuel Crompton, inventor of the spinning mule machine
0:17:42 > 0:17:47once lived here and the town's motto is "nothing without labour". Speaking of which...
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Er, Johnny, just in here to the right.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Aladdin's Cave.- Aladdin's Cave. Is he a lad in a cave?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Is that what he is? - Well, he's a bit of a lad!
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Is he a genie?- Aye, he's a genie! - THEY LAUGH
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Interesting, yes?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- It's interesting, yes.- Ah, hello!
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- Hi, Steven. I had such a good time the last time that I brought Johnny along.- Great. Nice to meet you.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Ah, old chums, eh? This could be interesting.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Well, the name of this place certainly fits,
0:18:15 > 0:18:20although I have seen caves arranged with a little more care and attention.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Yesterday, Jonathan hogged a whole shop floor.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Today, Anita's getting her revenge. She's grabbed dealer Steven first...
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Come on. You help me to get a bargain.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34..and is hoping to make familiarity count.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36How much is your G-Plan?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Hey, that's a cheeky question!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- 50?- 50.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- Does that include all the mould? - It does!
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Meanwhile, upstairs, size has become a big thing for Jonathan.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51We have a sign, or something like that.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55It's got a bit of age, as well. Painted on to wood.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Sort of point-of-sale advertising.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02I would say, it's got to the 1950s, possibly the '60s.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04It could be a one-off.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07The curious name of this spirit derives from 1882,
0:19:07 > 0:19:13when the distiller, William Sanderson, prepared 100 casks of blended whisky,
0:19:13 > 0:19:17and asked a panel of experts to choose their favourite one. And the winner was!
0:19:17 > 0:19:20VAT 69 and it's finely painted.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24This coat of arms up here, the Royal Court of Arms,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26is really well done.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29A little bit of damage. You've got splits running down the sides.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33But that¹s liveable. And I absolutely love it!
0:19:33 > 0:19:37And I'm hoping it's within my budget.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Well, actually, it's a whopping £250, almost all you've got left.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45So you'd better have a chat with Steven.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48He's got his hands full though at the moment, literally.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I think that's so sweet.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54It's a little country...cot.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- A little rocker. - Nice old paint inside.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- Yeah! That's the original stuff, isn't it?- I think it is, yeah.- Yeah.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Nice colour as well. - How old do we think this is?
0:20:05 > 0:20:10- I think about 1870, 1880. I don't know. What do you think?- A-ha.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Probably made by the...? - The father. I think the father would have made it
0:20:14 > 0:20:17when the mother gave birth, for the baby.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- A big baby.- Tall baby. Plenty of room to grow! - Plenty of room to grow, yeah!
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I like this. I like this, Steven.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29I would hope it would be the type of thing that would appeal within a rural community.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34Not that you'd put a baby in it these days, but you could put plants
0:20:34 > 0:20:36or teddies or whatever.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41- How much is this, Steven? - I'd like about 110.- Right.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44What's the very best that you can do on that?
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Erm...
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Oh, I'd better sit down, hadn't I? - HE LAUGHS
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- 90!- I'll hold your hand.- 90! 90!
0:20:53 > 0:20:57What's the very, very, very, very def on it?
0:20:57 > 0:20:5975.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- 75?- 75.- It's a deal on that.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08So Anita's the proud owner of some brown furniture and Jonathan found himself a cabinet.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10L-E-T-T-E-R.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14You'd really want it to say "toast". That's the thing!
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Cos people don't really have letter racks any more.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19How old is it? Not very, probably.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23You'd like to think it was early 20th century. The quality's there.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25But is it silver?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30It's almost like it's... It is silver. Can't be.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33It's too stiff.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36The ticket price is £59.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Could be worth a punt.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Well, you'd better go and grab hold of Steven then.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Vintage ironing board, Steven.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- How much is that?- £10.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Hi!
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Hello, Jonathan!- Hello. Any chance I could pinch Steven for a minute?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- He's my personal shopper. - Yeah, I thought he might be!
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- We haven't got long here and I can see you hanging on to him till the end.- OK.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- Don't give him anything cheap! - JONATHAN LAUGHS
0:22:03 > 0:22:07That little chap. It almost has a homemade feel about it.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Yeah, I thought that. It's an interesting piece.- A bit of fun.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- "Letter" for a letter rack. - Yeah. It might be 60 years old.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- 40?- I was thinking more like 20. STEVEN LAUGHS
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- I'll split the difference with you. 30.- OK, right.
0:22:20 > 0:22:2330 quid, that's your very best?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Er... We'll come to some agreement.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28That sounds encouraging, but what about the bottle?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- You could have probably sold this a million times, cos it's there in front of you.- Yeah.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- It's a fabulous piece, I think. It's hand painted.- It's on wood.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Yeah, a lot of people wanted that over the years. I've had it a few years now.
0:22:40 > 0:22:46- It's a smart thing.- I took it home. I refused to sell it at first, cos I liked it myself so much.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50But the wife's decided she wanted it to come back.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55Oh, your wife's like mine! I buy stuff and it seems to go back to the saleroom!
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Get on with it then!
0:22:56 > 0:22:58200 for that.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- Don't step backwards, by the way.- Yeah! Yeah!
0:23:03 > 0:23:06That would be TV gold, wouldn't it?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Phew! That was close, Jonathan.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Now what's Anita up to? Branching out?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Sometimes you can find something in the darkest corner.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19You'd know, Anita. And sometimes they're there for a good reason.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24I love this big piece of gnarled wood.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28It's a wonderful piece of natural art.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Look at this! Look at the sweeps, look at the ins and outs.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36It's found art. Somebody's found that somewhere.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38And I just absolutely love it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42If you were looking for something functional for it to do,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44you could hang your coat on there.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49Hang your hat on there. What kind of price can you put on something like that?
0:23:49 > 0:23:56I've also got a bargaining point in that no-one else in the world is mad enough to buy it, except me!
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Perhaps not the best reason to take something to auction though.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04How are the giant bottle negotiations progressing?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I really like it. You wouldn't take 150 for it, would you?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Go on! Right, OK.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Grieves me much, but...- I'm going to shake your hand on that one.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18- I think it's fantastic. Thanks. You'll do well with that. - Brilliant!
0:24:18 > 0:24:20What about a little chaser?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- The letter rack, you'd do for what? - 30.- OK.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I'll go for that. And then I'm absolutely finished shopping.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- I may as well pay you now. - Yeah. please! And clear off!
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Well, he's certainly got a lotta bottle.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35You're free to go and try and fleece Anita now.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38See if you can get as much as you can out of her. Thank you very much.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Steven!
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Was that a cry for assistance?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Steven!- Hello, Anita!
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Steven! Steven! Wherefore art thou?
0:24:45 > 0:24:50- I've found something up here which you might be dying to get rid of.- Oh, I hope so!
0:24:50 > 0:24:53I'll come up now.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58- I found this big dud of gnarled wood.- It's a root.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- It's a root?- Yeah. - It's a root, a-ha.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05- So it's taking an enormous amount of space up...- Yes. - ..in your warehouse.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- But I have had it a while. - You've had it for years?
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- Er, a couple of years perhaps. - ANITA LAUGHS
0:25:12 > 0:25:17- I am willing and happy to take it off your hands...- Oh, that's great.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- ..for a tenner! - Oh, oh! Oh, I couldn't.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25- I couldn't.- You couldn't do it for a tenner?- I'll sell it, for a huge loss, for 40.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- Every day it's sitting here, it's costing you money.- Yes.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31It was a twig when it first got there!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33LAUGHTER
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- And I'm willing to take it off your hands for a tenner!- Ooh!
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It's a bit like chopping away at a tree this.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- 40, that's a good price, really. - 40?!- 40!
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Steven, it might not even get a bid. - 25 then.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Will you let me take it off your hands for £10?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Could this be TIMBER!
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Why not?- Oh!
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Thank you very much. Are you happy that I'm taking if off your hands?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I have mixed feelings, really, mixed!
0:26:00 > 0:26:01LAUGHTER
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Bye-bye Aladdin's Cave!
0:26:06 > 0:26:09That was a fruitful bit of shopping.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16Now it's time for Jonathan to leave Darwen and get down to St Helens.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22The fortunes of this town were built upon coal
0:26:22 > 0:26:25and on the heavy industry that needed that fuel.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Nowadays, the talk in St Helens is all about regeneration
0:26:28 > 0:26:32and this giant sculpture stands on the site of the last colliery.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38But the town still makes glass and has done for almost 300 years.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- HE LAUGHS - This is an amazing building.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48Hi, Jonathan. I'm Hannah, the curator. Welcome to the World of Glass.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52The entrance of the World of Glass museum is a replica of the huge furnace
0:26:52 > 0:26:55located elsewhere on the site.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59It was constructed by William Windle Pilkington
0:26:59 > 0:27:02for the around-the-clock manufacture of glass.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07Pilkington based its HQ here in St Helens back in 1826
0:27:07 > 0:27:11because of the raw materials and skills located here.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15But as the exhibits show, the story of glass is much, much older.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20This is the Glass Roots gallery with the Pilkington collection.
0:27:20 > 0:27:213,000 years' worth of glass.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24I know they discovered glass when lightning hit sand.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- And you get what they call angels' tears, or something.- That's right.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33And it's little globules of natural glass and they took it from that.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- This is a Roman piece. - Isn't that fab?
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- The Romans invented glass blowing in the 1st Century AD.- Yep.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- That's wonderful. 2,000 years old, or thereabouts.- Yes.
0:27:45 > 0:27:51Also in the collection are hugely valuable pieces by some of the great glass designers,
0:27:51 > 0:27:56like Rene Lalique and this cameo glass by the British manufacturer Thomas Webb and Sons.
0:27:58 > 0:28:04I mean, I absolutely adore that. I think that is such an amazing piece. Absolute skilled work.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09Although designers like George Woodall took etching and carving
0:28:09 > 0:28:11through fused layers of glass to new heights,
0:28:11 > 0:28:15it was, essentially, a Roman technique.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Pilkington pioneered the industrialisation of glass manufacture,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24but the basic method remains roughly the same.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29In the hot-glass studio, you can see the ancient craft in action.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- That's so clever. I've never seen it done before.- Oh, right!
0:28:34 > 0:28:36OK, and it happened instantly.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- So centrifugal force is pulling it down.- Wow! That's amazing.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44You quite simply just bring it out, spin it and let gravity do its work.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47Magnificent.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Very clever.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- That's lovely. Isn't that lovely? - Would you like to have a go?
0:28:53 > 0:28:54- What me?!- Yes!
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- Oh, no! Er... I can try. - Yes.- All right.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Oh, I see. Right.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Just very gently breath down the end there.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Don't suck whatever you do, Jonathan!
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- Wooh!- Wow!
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Oh, it's a light bulb. I've invented the light bulb.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Ha! Not bad, but I don't think they'll be displaying your work
0:29:18 > 0:29:21alongside the greats just yet.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24But while Jonathan's been getting all creative,
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Anita's anxious to finish off her shopping
0:29:27 > 0:29:32and is making her way from Darwen over to Ormskirk.
0:29:32 > 0:29:39Legend has it, the original Orm was a Viking, who settled here and founded this very kirk.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43It's one of only three in England to have both a tower and a spire.
0:29:43 > 0:29:50They say that Orm's two sisters wanted one each. Sadly, that bit's almost certainly made up.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- Hello, Alan.- Hello.- I'm Anita. It's lovely to be here.
0:29:53 > 0:29:58- Beautiful furniture. - Oh, good! Thank you very much. - All in perfect condition.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Alan doesn't just sell and restore furniture though. He makes it.
0:30:02 > 0:30:07Although whether Anita will be tempted to buy some of his very fine work is uncertain.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14Typically, Anita has her eye on something very buyable, although hardly a classic.
0:30:14 > 0:30:20- It's rather a strange, wee box. - Yes. It's been made in the Far East within the last five or six years.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23We have these little geometric squares here.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- I like the fact that it's been hand done.- Yes, it has, with a chisel.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31- You can use it as a little stationery box or a sewing box.- Yes.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35Put a little lock on that, you could use it for your love letters.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Yes! Good!
0:30:37 > 0:30:41You've got £15 on it. It's not a lot of money.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45- Can you take something off of that? - Can we make it 14?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Nice work, Alan! I think she was speechless there.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51I like your style.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53I think I could probably do 12.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55£12 on that.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- Do you think it will make me £12 in auction?- It should do.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04What would your estimate be?
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Well, I would certainly think you would get in excess of £15.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- I would hope so, at least.- A-ha.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- I have to pay commission as well. - Of course you do, yes.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17I would like to be buying it for in the region of ten.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- Is that at all possible? - Let's do a deal at ten.- OK.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- That's lovely. Thank you very much, Alan.- You're welcome.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25It was a pleasure doing business.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Right, time for that show and tell moment.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- Shall I go first?- Go on, please.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- I'll start quite calmly and then... - SHE LAUGHS
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Is that something that could grow on you?
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Well, I don't know! What is it?
0:31:40 > 0:31:44It's a piece of natural sculpture, my friend.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45LAUGHTER
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Are you laughing at me?- No, no, no!
0:31:48 > 0:31:51But the question is, how much money did you spend on it?
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- £10.- Oh, really?! Is that all?
0:31:54 > 0:31:57You're winding me up. Oh, that's all right for £10. Goodness me!
0:31:57 > 0:32:02- Even for kindling. There's £10's worth of kindling there. - That's right!
0:32:02 > 0:32:04What about her pricier bit of wood?
0:32:04 > 0:32:07I fell in love with it, but I paid quite a lot for it.
0:32:07 > 0:32:13- £75. So...- Yeah.- ..I might have been carried away by this one.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15This one though might make him a little envious.
0:32:15 > 0:32:21- Is this gold? - It's gold. It's hallmarked 9-carat gold.- Guaranteed profit, Anita!
0:32:21 > 0:32:23I don't like to say it.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Careful! They may bite.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30People like animals, so I think this might be... Do you get Welsh wolfhounds?
0:32:30 > 0:32:33I'm not familiar with that breed, no.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Not surprised. It doesn't exist. Now, his turn!
0:32:36 > 0:32:41First, the smalls, then the biggy. Oh, yes!
0:32:41 > 0:32:46Ah, yeah! A Perfect Form-O-Matic Dress Form.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49I just like everything about it.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52It's a shapely thing, too.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- Oh, that's a stoater! - THEY BOTH LAUGH
0:32:55 > 0:32:59- Absolutely wonderful.- Do you think it's silver? I think it is, you know.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01- Nickel silver wouldn't bend like that.- No. Exactly.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- That's a good buy, Jonathan. - Thank you.- You bought some jewellery.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Yeah. Those two are together. So that's one lot there.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11- That's a great buy.- And I thought about splitting them up... - One, two, three, four.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I've got one other piece.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17ANITA CHUCKLES
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- That is absolutely fabulous! - Isn't it brilliant?
0:33:21 > 0:33:25There is a good market for advertising stuff.
0:33:25 > 0:33:31- How much did I pay for it, Anita? - I think I would go to about 140, 150.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32£150.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35I think that's great!
0:33:35 > 0:33:38We should now nip off and have a wee dram. There we go.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Yes, but what did they really think?
0:33:41 > 0:33:43The Sampson Mordan gold pen is an absolute steal.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46She'll double her money that, for sure.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49But she's bought a tree. Totally out of character!
0:33:49 > 0:33:52She might get £15, but how many people will be willing to pay it?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55I love Jonathan's items.
0:33:55 > 0:34:01I think he's let his feminine side lead him this time. Apart from the big bottle of whisky, of course.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05All my stuff's all brown stuff. How did I manage that?
0:34:05 > 0:34:08I think he might beat me this time!
0:34:08 > 0:34:12After starting out in the Pennines at Hebden Bridge,
0:34:12 > 0:34:15this leg of our journey concludes in North Wales
0:34:15 > 0:34:17at an auction in Mold.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23This lovely market town was the place where, in 1833,
0:34:23 > 0:34:28workmen dug up a spectacular Bronze Age golden cape.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30It eventually found its way to the British museum
0:34:30 > 0:34:36and became Number 19 in its History of the World in 100 Objects.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Is this going to be your day, Johnny? Are you going to win today?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Oh, I'd like to think so, but who knows, who knows?
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Hello!
0:34:43 > 0:34:48I wonder if anything sold at Dodds today will end up at the British Museum?
0:34:48 > 0:34:52I think we can probably rule out what our two have bought though.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56But let's get the opinion of the local auctioneer, Anthony Parry.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58He's a lovely man.
0:34:58 > 0:35:04The Sampson Mordan propelling pencil in gold is probably one of the best things you've brought.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08With the price of gold as it is at the moment, it'll easily sell.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12The VAT 69 advertising jar -
0:35:12 > 0:35:16that's unusual. It could appeal to a publican or a restaurant.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21The piece of driftwood - I think whoever bought it would have...
0:35:21 > 0:35:26assumed we've got a lot of interior designers round here. Well, we haven't!
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Ha-ha! That wasn't very encouraging, was it?
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Anita started out with £420.41
0:35:34 > 0:35:39and she spent £147 of it on five auction lots.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Jonathan began with £370.39
0:35:43 > 0:35:47and he spent £286, also on five auction lots.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Oooh!
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Right.- Are you nervous, Johnny? - Yes, I am nervous.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Pull yourself together then. You're up first.
0:35:57 > 0:36:02Starting off, we have Jonathan's silvery letter rack.
0:36:02 > 0:36:0410 I've got. £10. 10. 15. 15.
0:36:04 > 0:36:0820. 25. 25's up the room. 25.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11- Do we have 30 anywhere else?- 26!- 26.
0:36:11 > 0:36:1328.
0:36:13 > 0:36:1432.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- Come on! Come on!- All done at £32?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- It washed its face, as they say. - It washed its face.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- Well,- I- say, actually, but a loss after commission.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27What will Mold make of his wheelbarrow?
0:36:27 > 0:36:30This is a rural area. People love their gardens.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33They've got lots of wheelbarrows, these guys, but none that small!
0:36:33 > 0:36:36£10. 10. 10. £10.
0:36:36 > 0:36:3812. 14. 16.
0:36:38 > 0:36:4118. 20.
0:36:41 > 0:36:4222.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Well, you heard him say, "One more." So he won't go another!
0:36:46 > 0:36:4822. 24.
0:36:48 > 0:36:5124... There you are. He said, "No." 24. 25.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- 25.- Go on!- 25.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57Are you having 26? Oh, dear me! 26 over here!
0:36:57 > 0:36:5926. 27.
0:36:59 > 0:37:0028.
0:37:00 > 0:37:0229.
0:37:02 > 0:37:0330.
0:37:03 > 0:37:0430.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07No more for the wheelbarrow then!
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Oh, dear! Jonathan's quality plan's not off to a go start.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13You mean bunch!
0:37:13 > 0:37:17But I did think that was one that might struggle.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22Anita's gold pencil. Everyone seems to agree it's a belter.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26This is rather a nice lot. 30 I've got, £30. £35.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28£40. £45.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31£45. 45. £50.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33£55. £60. 65.
0:37:33 > 0:37:3570. 5.
0:37:35 > 0:37:3680.
0:37:36 > 0:37:3885.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- 90. Are you having 92.50, sir? - Go on.
0:37:41 > 0:37:4492.50. £100! Thank you.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46It's gone then at £100.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- Oh, shut up!- Yes!
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Quite a contrast. She's straight out of the blocks.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54Good start.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58Certainly was. Now for Jonathan's ring and pin. Nice nails!
0:37:58 > 0:38:01£20 I've got to start. £30. £40.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Yes!- £50.- Yes!- £60.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- WOMAN: 65.- 65.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08- 70.- WOMAN: 70!
0:38:08 > 0:38:1175. Where's 80?
0:38:11 > 0:38:1375. Any more?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Are we all done at £75?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- WOMAN: 77.- Oh, yes!- 77.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21And done at 77 then!
0:38:21 > 0:38:25- Excellent.- Ah, thank you.- Excellent! - Clawing back.- Smashing!
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Yes, a bit of recovery from an awful start.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- That's more than we thought. - Thank goodness for that!
0:38:32 > 0:38:36OK, who's ready for some sculpture? Don't laugh!
0:38:36 > 0:38:41- Nobody knows how much that's worth. - Most people would walk past it.
0:38:41 > 0:38:46On a dog walk, their dog would stop, lift his leg and carry on walking!
0:38:46 > 0:38:49What shall we say for it?
0:38:50 > 0:38:51£5!
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- Thank you, sir!- Well, there we are. £10!- Yes!
0:38:56 > 0:38:58£20.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59- What?!- £30.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00£40.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01What?!
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- WOMAN: 45.- 45.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Who's going to have 50?- 46.
0:39:07 > 0:39:0846.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- £46!- 47.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12ANITA LAUGHS
0:39:12 > 0:39:1348.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- £50.- Yes!
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Are we quite sure we can't get any more money?
0:39:19 > 0:39:23- Do you want to ask outside? - Ask outside! Ask around, John.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25LAUGHTER
0:39:25 > 0:39:29£50 and this lady is winning this. All done at 50 then?
0:39:29 > 0:39:31- Yes!- Oh, Lordy!
0:39:31 > 0:39:32Yeaaah!
0:39:32 > 0:39:35You're mad, all of you! You're mad!
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Well, she hoped to find people of like mind.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- Oh!- You are amazing, Anita.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46What about her doggy magazine rack? Might it have its day?
0:39:46 > 0:39:47£10 note. £10.
0:39:47 > 0:39:4915. 20.
0:39:49 > 0:39:5025.
0:39:50 > 0:39:5227.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56All done at 27 then?
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- 27.- Very good. - I'm happy enough with that.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01I'm sure she is.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Now for Jonathan's big one.
0:40:04 > 0:40:0520.
0:40:05 > 0:40:0630.
0:40:06 > 0:40:0840. 50.
0:40:08 > 0:40:1160. 70.
0:40:11 > 0:40:1380.
0:40:13 > 0:40:1580's there. 90.
0:40:15 > 0:40:1790. It should double this, easily.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19£90's here. 90.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23100. And 10. 115.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- Go on!- 120. 120.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29All done at £120 then?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Are you quite sure?
0:40:31 > 0:40:34I knew it. Oh, man!
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Oh, dear! It's enough to drive you to drink, Jonathan.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Well, I¹m bitterly disappointed with that.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Can his shapely friend help out?
0:40:43 > 0:40:46£20. 20. £25.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48- Yes!- £30.
0:40:49 > 0:40:5135.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53- £40. £42.50!- 42...!
0:40:53 > 0:40:5545.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00£50. All done at £50 then?
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- Jonathan, well done!- Thank you.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07- Wasn't that excellent?- 18 quid!
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Not bad! But probably not enough either.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Now for Anita's brown box.
0:41:13 > 0:41:1710 I've got. 12 I've got. 14.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- 16.- Oh, God! Here we go!
0:41:20 > 0:41:2220.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24£20.
0:41:24 > 0:41:2622.
0:41:26 > 0:41:2724.
0:41:27 > 0:41:2926.
0:41:29 > 0:41:3128. Thank you.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- A loony bin! - 30 coming back. 32 at the back.
0:41:34 > 0:41:3634?
0:41:36 > 0:41:40No more? All done at £34 then. You're quite sure?
0:41:41 > 0:41:45- Goodness me!- They like the brown stuff in this auction.- They do.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Yeah, Anita's in tune again.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52My last item is coming up. It's the pine rocking cradle
0:41:52 > 0:41:56that really was the item that I was worried about.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58If you make a profit on it, then you have to sing
0:41:58 > 0:42:01"She Wears Red Feathers And A Hula-Hula Skirt".
0:42:01 > 0:42:03ANITA LAUGHS
0:42:03 > 0:42:06£10. £15.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09£20. £25.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13£30.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14No?
0:42:14 > 0:42:17All done at £30 then?
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Thank goodness for that!
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Well, at least we won't have to put up with Anita's singing.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28And to tell you the truth, Jonathan, I deserved to lose 40 quid on it,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- because it was a bad buy. - It was a bad buy.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34But you've done terribly, terribly well.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37She certainly has. Despite that little wrong note,
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Anita's easily the winner today.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Jonathan began with £370.39.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46And after paying auction costs,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49he made a loss of £32.62,
0:42:49 > 0:42:55leaving him with £337.77 to spend on the next leg.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Anita, however, started with £420.41.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03And after paying costs made a profit of £50.62,
0:43:03 > 0:43:08giving her £471.03 and a substantial lead.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Well done, that girl!
0:43:10 > 0:43:14Very well done, Anita. I'm a bit disappointed about that cradle actually.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17The opportunity to hear your dulcet tones...
0:43:17 > 0:43:21# She wears red feathers and a hooley-hooley skirt
0:43:21 > 0:43:25# She wears red feathers and a hooley-hooley skirt... #
0:43:27 > 0:43:32Next time on the Antiques Road Trip, Anita and Jonathan should really get a satnav!
0:43:32 > 0:43:36How did we manage to go the wrong way, Jonathan?
0:43:36 > 0:43:39It's your blathering, your blathering, has put me off.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41Tut-tut!
