0:00:01 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- 'with £200 each...' - I love that.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07..a classic car
0:00:07 > 0:00:10and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Yippee!
0:00:12 > 0:00:13My heart is 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 will 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 > 0:00:29Johnny, are we going to end up in a dead end?
0:00:29 > 0:00:33This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Yeah!
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Today, we are on the road for the final adventure
0:00:44 > 0:00:48with our bewitching antique experts, Anita Manning and Jonathan Pratt.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50# Bread of heaven
0:00:50 > 0:00:53# Bread of heaven, feed me now... #
0:00:53 > 0:00:55No...
0:00:55 > 0:00:57# Feed me till I want no more
0:00:57 > 0:00:58# I want no more
0:00:58 > 0:01:02# Feed me till I want no more. #
0:01:03 > 0:01:06That's right, we're in Wales.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Anita Manning is a no-nonsense auctioneer that plays it supercool
0:01:11 > 0:01:14when she goes in for a deal.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Give me a better price on it. Give me it for a fiver.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And she has a real passion for hats.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- That is for your granny's wedding. - Yeah, I know!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27This is Jonathan Pratt.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32He is a rather savvy auctioneer who knows how to make a buck or two.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Let me come around. If anyone comes in, I'll serve them.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- By all means.- Ten per cent, is that all right?- Yeah, you're right.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42But he doesn't hang about when it comes to making decisions.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Oh, no! I was doing so well.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49At auction, Jonathan has had his highs...
0:01:51 > 0:01:53..and his lows.
0:01:55 > 0:02:01But Anita's gamble on unusual items has really paid off.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Jonathan has tried, though, his very, very best.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06From his original £200,
0:02:06 > 0:02:12he has a rather tidy sum of £337.77 weighing down his purse.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16But seizing the lead is the winning Anita Manning.
0:02:16 > 0:02:23From her original £200, she has an impressive £471.03.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25She looks pleased, doesn't she?
0:02:27 > 0:02:31And our excitable antiques luvvies will be making their final journey
0:02:31 > 0:02:34in, of course, the 1964 stylish MG.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Who needs to go to the South of France when you can come to Wales?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Quite right.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Anita and Jonathan are travelling over 400 miles from the city
0:02:47 > 0:02:49of Glasgow all the way to Llangefni,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51on the Isle of Anglesey.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57On today's show, first up is the town of Colwyn Bay.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59And they will auction in Llangefni.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Don't you love the sea?- Oh, lovely!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09The seaside town of Colwyn Bay is the birthplace of former
0:03:09 > 0:03:12007 actor Timothy Dalton,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and is the location for Anita's first shopping assignment.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20And she is like a whirling dervish who is licensed to spend.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Oh, Lordy, standby.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I am feeling a wee bit dangerous today.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Is this the shop I could spend all my money in?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31It seems Anita is on a mission,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35and her first task is to cosy up to owner, Frank.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Hello!- Hi. - Good luck, Frank.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- I'm Anita.- How are you? - Is this your shop?- It is, yes.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Oh, it's a great shop. - You like it?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46The charming Anita sure is cosying up to the owner.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48It's usually small, sparkly jewellery Anita falls for.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51But there is nothing tiny about this chandelier.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Oh, no, just look at it, it is a brute.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57When I looked at it, it is moulded glass, it is not quite crystal.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Fairly modern.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03But there is nice quality to it. There is a lot of weight, you see?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Yeah. Yeah. Hold it up, Frank.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10If there were two of them, you could use them as earrings.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13It'd be a big lady who could wear a pair of earrings that size.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16No need to say it like that, Frank.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Quite a lot of quality there, isn't there?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Well, it's not bad, but it's not the best.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Maybe we can do something with that for you,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27if you have got your eye on that.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Well, I'll tell you, there's another couple of items.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Let's go. - What I want to do, Frank...
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Is marry a few things together. - I want to spend, spend, spend!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Right.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Oh, Lordy, he looks frightened.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I fancy this wee table,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48because I like the idea that it is like a miniature.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52I like the idea that you can use it as a single table, or you can
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- separate it out.- That's right.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- I like these things. - It's functional.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58And I like the idea that it's functional.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Another item that I was looking at,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03and again, I'm thinking for function...
0:05:03 > 0:05:06What is she up to now, then?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Very unusual for Anita to get so excited about furniture,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12but she has found yet another decorative table.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13I hope she is all right.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- This is... It's a Louis Cannes style.- That's right.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21And it's...the type of lady that might buy it,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I think, is the type of lady who would have
0:05:24 > 0:05:27a nice guesthouse.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29She likes luxurious surroundings.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33And I think that sort of thing would, kind of, fit in the bill.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36What does she mean, "fit in the bill?" Doesn't she mean, fit the bill?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Anyway, this is Louis, Louis XVI style, I reckon.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43It looks a lot more than you what you would be expecting
0:05:43 > 0:05:45to pay for it.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47These plaques, for instance, you see on here,
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- are porcelain. And as you say, it's got that Louis look.- Yes.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55And the thick marble, so it is not going to just be knocked over,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58you know, it is a good all-around piece.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Now, it looks like Anita is going in for a multi-buy.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06The original ticket price on the chandelier is £150.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09£75 for the twin pedestal table
0:06:09 > 0:06:11and £85 for the marble-top table,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14giving a combined total of £310.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Wow, this is chancy.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17I was thinking...
0:06:17 > 0:06:1950,
0:06:19 > 0:06:2150,
0:06:21 > 0:06:2280.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26That's 180.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29To help you to sell them, and I can more or less guarantee
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- you'll make a good profit on these.- Uh-huh.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Not a pound or so. I will do 200 for the three for you.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39200 for the three? You're a darling!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Oh. You are enjoying that, Frank.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Well, we got there in the end with a master class
0:06:44 > 0:06:47of smiley negotiations from the alluring Anita.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Jonathan, meanwhile, is in nearby Rhos on Sea.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58And the smallest chapel in Britain,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Capel St Trillo, is located here.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09How is our young gun getting on in his first shop of the day?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12OK, so a little brooch. It has got a '50s style about it,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15doesn't it? It is sort of like a... almost a Scandinavian influence.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Stamped 18K, so it's continental.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20A brooch, eh?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Well, the lad's done well on jewellery before
0:07:23 > 0:07:26and owner, Shawna, has a cabinet full of the stuff.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Would you mind if I see this gold and diamond circular brooch?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- The Victorian one.- Uh-huh.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39A few diamonds in. Nicely made, isn't it?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41This sort of beadwork, I wonder why it has got a milled edge, though.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Isn't that funny? It is almost like a coin.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47It does look a bit like a coin, doesn't it?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Diamond is a nice colour, but it is internally flawed.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Yes, it is just a dress brooch. - But it's a pretty thing.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Pretty thing.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Seems Jonathan's in brooch heaven today.
0:07:59 > 0:08:05And he's not finished shopping yet. He is on the prowl for more booty.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I am going to step away from the cabinets for a moment
0:08:07 > 0:08:09and have a look around.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17The little spill vase with the sort of 1970's style,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19with the rustic base.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22It is by Deakin and Francis, by the way, is it, D&F?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I mean, you would call it a spill vase.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28It would be for something like putting a little flower in.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29I think spill was something else,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I think it was like rushes for lighting fires and things,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34but you have got this lovely little rusticated base.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38It is weighted all right and it has got a little bit of age.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40And he has got his eye on something else.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Crikey, Jonathan, there is no stopping you today.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I quite like that design. That is quite sweet, isn't it?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It has a sort of almost carpet pattern,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53sort of Spanish-Mexican or something.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Basically, what we've got here is a vesta case.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Vesta case is a matchbox case.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59And you'd carry your matches around with you.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01It is a sort of 19th century thing.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06So, Jonathan decides to go in for a job lot on the Victorian gold
0:09:06 > 0:09:11brooch, the '50s gold brooch and the silver vesta case and vase.
0:09:11 > 0:09:17The combined ticket price on all four is a whopping £520.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- Make it 290 then.- 290.- Uh-huh.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24And that will do me just fine. That is what I was going to ask.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26£290? Thank you very much.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Four items, one shop.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33£290 blown already.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37The boy is certainly going for it. God!
0:09:37 > 0:09:41And Jonathan even has Auntie Anita providing a chauffeur service.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43She is taking him onwards and upwards to his next shop
0:09:43 > 0:09:46in Llandudno Junction.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49And it looks like she is taking the scenic route, look at that.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54How did we manage to go the wrong way, Jonathan?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57It is your blethering. Your blethering has put me off.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02Of course it has, Anita. Of course it has!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Oh, he is such a chatterbox, isn't it?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Well, Anita, well driven. Easy to go the wrong way.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Watch it, Johnny.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Drive safely. Do you know where you are going now? Do you want a map?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Are you all right?- Shut up. - Yes, you tell him, Anita.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Have a good time. - And you, see you.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19We'll catch up with Jonathan later,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22but for now, Anita is travelling to Conwy
0:10:22 > 0:10:25to visit a splendid and ancient townhouse.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33And she has decided to treat us to a medley of Bassey hits.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37# The minute you walked in the joint I could tell... #
0:10:37 > 0:10:38No.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Oh, crikey!
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Try again.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45# The minute you walked in the joint
0:10:45 > 0:10:49# I could tell you were a real big spender
0:10:49 > 0:10:52# A man of distinction... #
0:10:52 > 0:10:54No, that's not it.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59# I...I who have nothing... #
0:10:59 > 0:11:00# I...
0:11:00 > 0:11:01No.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05# I...I who have nothing
0:11:05 > 0:11:08# I...I who have no-one. #
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I will get arrested if I do any more of this stuff.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16That's exactly right.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Anyway, that might be a good thing. Stick to the day job, Anita.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I wonder who this was to keep out.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Uh... Ha-ha, the Welsh?
0:11:27 > 0:11:32The town of Conwy is enclosed within a ring of 13th-century walls
0:11:32 > 0:11:34and protected by a mighty Norman castle.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42In the narrow streets, stands Plas Mawr.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45It is a townhouse built for the influential Welsh merchant,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Robert Wynn.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Wynn was a world travelled courtier and trader
0:11:52 > 0:11:56and the house stands as a symbol of a prosperous, buoyant age.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01The style and design symbolizes Wynn's wealth and status.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06This architectural delight is considered to be the finest
0:12:06 > 0:12:09surviving Elizabethan townhouse in Britain.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Anita is meeting with property manager, Rachel Skelly,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- to learn more. - It's lovely to be in Plas...?- Mawr.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Tell me, what does that mean?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Plas Mawr means "big house" or, as we like to say, great hall.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26It is the finest example of an Elizabethan merchant's townhouse.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29It has been compared to a modern day footballer's house.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32It would have been the latest fashion of the period -
0:12:32 > 0:12:33modern, up-to-date.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- So, it is a big bit of bling. - It certainly is.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- Can we go up and have a look? - You certainly can.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41I'm looking forward to this.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Robert wanted to demonstrate his success
0:12:49 > 0:12:53and wealth, with the latest in 16th century design.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Here we have Robert Wynn's bedchamber.- Right.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03So he would have his big four-poster here.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05He certainly would, in front of the fire.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- And this is his coat of arms here? - This is the Wynn coat of arms.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12And that is 1577.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16And as we were talking about the footballer's modern-day house,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- here we have a garderobe. - Oh, right.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24- Oh, so this is a 16th century en suite.- It certainly is.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- Very modern.- I wouldn't like to smell that, though.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- I can't see Wayne Rooney in there.- No.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Wynn was proud of his Welsh ancestry and commissioned
0:13:37 > 0:13:40specialist plasterers to create decorative schemes
0:13:40 > 0:13:44that incorporated heraldic emblems of his family.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Again, this symbolized the might of Wynn's wealth.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Ah, now, Rachel, this...
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- ..this is the room that I can see myself in.- It certainly is.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02I think this is wonderful! And the first thing that strikes me
0:14:02 > 0:14:06really, is this very colourful plasterwork.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I mean, what are these female figures all about?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11These are called caryatids and they are what
0:14:11 > 0:14:14we believe to be Robert's interpretation
0:14:14 > 0:14:15of the Greek priestesses on the columns.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19So, he was a well-educated man who had travelled
0:14:19 > 0:14:24and what he wanted to do was show the world and his guests...
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- He was showing off again. - He was showing off again.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31I mean, look at the ceiling, it's like a Christmas cake!
0:14:31 > 0:14:35It is absolutely wo... It is very cheerful.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39But again, it's a bit over the top. There is no subtlety here.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- No.- It is bling all the way.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47And what I love, as well, is the light, the windows.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48These windows are marvellous.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51They certainly are and they, again, show his wealth.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54And did you know, back in that day,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57if you moved house, you took your windows with you?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Because glass was very expensive. - So expensive.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04While Anita enjoys the grandeur of this splendid Elizabethan
0:15:04 > 0:15:08townhouse, let's find out how Jonathan is getting on
0:15:08 > 0:15:10in Llandudno Junction.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Well, he doesn't have much money left in his purse,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18but owner, Nicky, tries to points Jonathan in the right direction.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20That's not bad. What about something like that?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I know it's a bit... gaudy, Welsh-looking.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Oh, I see what you are talking... Yes, yes.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I know it's not... But, in your budget.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33This Staffordshire tea service is in this style of gaudy Welsh
0:15:33 > 0:15:35pottery, which was made in England and Wales
0:15:35 > 0:15:38between about 1820 and 1860.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42There's four pieces and a teapot and stand.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Would you take £20 for it?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- I'd take £30 for it.- There you go. - But it's not mad, is it?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Eh... Well, you know, the condition... It is a good look.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- You know, it's showy.- Four pieces.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56It looks like the sort of Crown Derby, that sort of thing.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- It has got a chance, hasn't it? - Maybe it has got a chance.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02OK, that's one item rooted out, what's next?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04All right.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09That's a big one. I haven't seen one that large before.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11You probably know more about that sort of thing than I do.
0:16:11 > 0:16:17Embossed metal badge for the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Big, isn't it? I've never seen one that big, have you?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Um, normally they're a quarter of the size. I rather like that.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- It has got the military touch, but it also was a Welsh Regiment then.- Yeah.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Actually, Jonathan, this is a pioneer's apron clasp.
0:16:34 > 0:16:41The pioneer would lead the Fusiliers when on ceremonial duties.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Nicky must be taking pity on Jonathan,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47he has dropped the price of the tea set by a tenner.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52So, 20 quid...there. And then how much is this chap here?
0:16:52 > 0:16:53I'd do that for 20 quid as well.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Uh... If I bought both, would you give me a better...
0:16:56 > 0:17:00..would you give me a little more off? Would you say...
0:17:00 > 0:17:0220 and 10?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05HE LAUGHS
0:17:05 > 0:17:08No. No, 20 and 20.
0:17:08 > 0:17:1120 and 20,I'd do for you, wouldn't I?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- 20 and 15.- Oh, go on.- £35 on. - OK, brilliant.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Well, that was a busy bout of shopping, Jonathan. Splendid work!
0:17:19 > 0:17:22And as the day draws to a close,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25it's time for our intrepid adventurers to have
0:17:25 > 0:17:28a well-earned rest. Nighty-night, you two.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36It is a brand-new day, and, oh dear,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Anita and Jonathan are having to brave
0:17:38 > 0:17:41the rainy weather of Blighty once again.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- So, our final shopping day, Anita.- Yeah.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48You looked pretty happy about what you bought yesterday, Johnny.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Eh...- Oh, you don't want to give anything away.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Oh, Jonathan is getting competitive.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Here is a reminder of what they have bought so far.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06Jonathan is really going for it. He spent £325 on five lots.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09The Victorian gold brooch, the '50s brooch,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12the silver lot with the little vase and vesta case,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15the Staffordshire tea service
0:18:15 > 0:18:17and the Royal Welsh Fusiliers' badge.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22Lordy, he has only got £12.77 for the day ahead!
0:18:23 > 0:18:27And Anita has spent £200 on three lots -
0:18:27 > 0:18:31the cut glass chandelier, the miniature Regency-style table,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34the Louis XVI style marble-top table
0:18:34 > 0:18:40and this leaves a nice portion of £271.03 to spend.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Our daring duo have travelled to the town of Penmaenmawr,
0:18:47 > 0:18:48on the North Wales coast.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51The town is famous for its spectacular mountain
0:18:51 > 0:18:55and coastal walks and lies within Snowdonia National Park.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Anita and Jonathan are sharing their first shop of the day.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Mick, the owner, meets them as they arrive.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Let's begin with young Jonathan.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12He already has five lots, so there isn't any pressure to buy.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18But surprisingly, Jonathan has found something straightaway.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I learnt to ski on skis this long, actually.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22They would have seemed this long
0:19:22 > 0:19:24cos I was probably only about that high when I learnt.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27But now everyone skis on skis about this long.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30They're not made of wood. These are made of oak.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35£32. £32.50?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38That's in the realms of possibility, I'd say.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42I can be persuasive if I want to be.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Oh! Fighting talk from JP.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- Would you take a tenner for them? - Um...
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Dear, I don't know if I could do that, you know?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53OK, will you take the whole lot? If I give you £12.77...
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I can't do any more than that. Just will you take the lot?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Go on then.- OK, thank you very much. 12.77, thank you very much.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01- Good.- Brilliant.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Well done, Jonathan.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Every last penny blown, I love your bravado.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Whoops-a-daisy!
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Meanwhile, where is our lovely Anita?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Mick, these are just so beautiful.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21And you've got a wee notice saying that they are Welsh tapestries.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Yes.- I mean, tell me a bit about them.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I didn't know they made this type of thing in Wales.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Well, they are double woven, so there are actually negative
0:20:29 > 0:20:32and positive. It you look on the blankets,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- can you see it goes that way? - Uh-huh.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37And turn to the opposite side and it's the negative.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- I have got to buy one of these. - Oh, dear.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Oh, dear. - Do you not want to sell them?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46No, I love them all so much I don't like selling them.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I don't like selling these. What do you mean?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52No, you're not going to buy them.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- You don't want me to buy one of these?- No.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Uh, that might be tricky.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- I mean, you'll maybe not miss one? - No, I might not miss one.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Yeah, OK.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04What you have got to make sure of is the condition inside.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- OK.- I'll pull that out.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Oh, yeah, I like that, that's my colours, isn't it?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- God, they're awful dear, Mick. - Yeah, they are.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15They fetch more than that when they sell them in sales.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Welsh blankets have been produced in North Wales for centuries.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23This one is named after the mill it was made in - Tregwynt.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27The original ticket price on this blanket is £125.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Is this one that you would let go? - I would let go of this one, yes.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Would you let it go for 50 quid?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Oh, Anita! That's breaking my heart. It's like taking a friend away,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39it's like kidnapping one of my friends.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42You can't really go for 50 quid.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44I tell you what I'll do, give me another tenner
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- and you can have it, there we are. - Another tenner? 60 quid?
0:21:47 > 0:21:4960 quid and you got a bargain. There we are.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54I think that for 60 quid,
0:21:54 > 0:21:58we are buying something of beauty and craftsmanship.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Absolutely.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Very well.- Absolutely. - Mick, it's a deal.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Aw, Mick obviously loves Scottish women and Welsh blankets.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Thank goodness Anita managed to prise one out of his collection.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17There is a labyrinth of rooms through there.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20They're all packed full of stuff, it's wonderful.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23But this thing caught my eye and I really like it.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26It's colourful and it's fun.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29It's the front part of a gaming machine,
0:22:29 > 0:22:33which has maybe been broken up but they've kept this bit here.
0:22:33 > 0:22:39Viva Las Vegas. And it tells you there is a new six-pound jackpot.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41That must have been a lot of money,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43so we're maybe talking about 1960's, 1970's.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48It's totally useless, but I like it.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52It has got £17 on it. That is not a lot of money.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Anita collars Mick to go in for a deal.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- You have had it for years? - Years and years.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Could you make it cheaper than that? - A little bit, yeah.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- What were you thinking of? - I was thinking of...the jackpot.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Do you know, I'm feeling very generous,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09so I think you should take the six pounds, there we are,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- cos you've hit the jackpot. - You are about to be embraced
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- by a grateful customer. - Oh, dear, again?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Oh, thank you so much.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Thanks.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22God, she likes the fellows, doesn't she?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25So, that's the Welsh blanket and the gaming machine fascia
0:23:25 > 0:23:27for £66, but...
0:23:27 > 0:23:32I don't like 66. It has either got to be 65 or 67.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Oh.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- So what do you think we should do? - I think we should go for 67.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41That will do me then. It pays for the lighting.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- The extra pound...- Another quid. Every quid counts.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47He's a one, that Mick.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51But Anita has now bought all her items. Where is Jonathan then?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53He's travelling to Llanberis, in Gwynedd,
0:23:53 > 0:23:57to find out about a vital part of Welsh heritage.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15Dinorwic Slate Quarry is home to the Welsh National Slate Museum.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18It was the second largest slate quarry in Wales,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20indeed in the world,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23and it covered more than 700 acres.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Wales is rich in slate deposits,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28which have been quarried here for over 1,800 years.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31But the slate industry really took off with the dawn
0:24:31 > 0:24:34of the Industrial Revolution.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37At its peak in the late 19th century,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40it was producing 100,000 tons of slate annually.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44The museum is a time capsule of a once vibrant
0:24:44 > 0:24:48and bustling industry and celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Jonathan is meeting with Dr Dafydd Roberts to find out more.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55This place was built in 1870 as the engineering workshops
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- for Dinorwic Slate Quarry. - Uh-huh. I thought it was...
0:24:58 > 0:25:01It seemed to me that it would have been around a lot older than that.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- You know, a lot longer.- Well, the quarry itself has been going
0:25:04 > 0:25:07since the 1780's and it had an early engineering workshop,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09but this was built when the place was going
0:25:09 > 0:25:12absolutely flat out employing over 3,000 men.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15See, if I were to take a holiday somewhere in Europe,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17where would I find a Welsh slate on a roof?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Literally almost, any city in Western Europe,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22but certainly if you went to Hamburg,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- lots of Welsh slate there.- Wow.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Dublin, Belfast.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- But to go further afield as well, if we went to New Orleans.- Really?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Or Melbourne, Sydney, you'll see Welsh slate there.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- Really?- This was a product that made its impact worldwide.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41The working life of the quarry may have come to an end in 1969,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43but there was one man who didn't want the memory
0:25:43 > 0:25:46and story of this quarry to disappear.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49My predecessor, a wonderful man called Hugh Richard Jones,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52literally stopped the scrap merchants from moving in,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- he saved this place.- Absolutely.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Tucked things away so the scrap merchants
0:25:56 > 0:25:58and the bailiffs couldn't see them.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01You wouldn't have had a museum had they had the opportunity to do that,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04because all of this stuff you can look at now, would have
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- been completely melted.- That's right, and it would have been a huge shame
0:26:07 > 0:26:10if we had lost all of this. This is part of our heritage for heaven's sake.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16The slate blocks quarried from the mountainside would be split
0:26:16 > 0:26:20with a mallet and chisel and required great skill.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Quarryman Dafydd Davies lets Jonathan have a go.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25So, I have to sit down here.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Sorry, I've got a bit of a bad back at the minute.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Well then, it is very comfortable.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- So if you put your legs straight out in front of you.- I'm not sure I can.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35OK, there we go.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- Put that over you to keep you clean. - OK. Right.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- That goes in the left hand. - That goes in the left hand, OK.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- And this in your right hand.- Right.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- Now, that's not a hammer, it's a mallet.- Mallet.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Made out of plastic these days.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- Now, that chisel needs to be perfectly centred.- OK.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- Straight in the centre?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56- And on the same angle as the slate. - Uh... Yes.- Are you happy with that?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Uh.. Yes.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03OK, make sure it lies flat and now you hit it, but not too hard.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04And again.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06And again.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- One more. That's for luck, by the way.- All right.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- But you are lucky, you are quite safe.- Now, what do I do?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Now you give me the mallet back. - All right.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- Place your left hand on the face there and hold the chisel.- Yes.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22And then just lever them apart.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23If the chisel is a little bit loose,
0:27:23 > 0:27:25you can push it in or you can tap it in.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Woo!- And there you are. That's how we do it.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Look at that! Well, Dafydd, thank you very, very much.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37I'm so proud now to have a new skill and it may, you never know,
0:27:37 > 0:27:38come in handy in the future.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Yeah, I wouldn't bank on it really, Jonathan, but, you know,
0:27:41 > 0:27:42you did very, very well.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45So, if I were you though, I would stick to antiques.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Well, after the next auction, I might need another career change.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Come on, Jonathan, time to meet up with Anita
0:27:53 > 0:27:55and have a look at one another's bids.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Oh, sugar, hang on.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00HE HUMS
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- All right!- There we go.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Oh, I like this.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10That. Gold, Victorian gold and diamond-set target brooch.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- I got it for £150. - Look at the size of that diamond.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Could Anita be a teensy bit jealous?
0:28:17 > 0:28:21And then I bought this one, this is 18 carat gold, yellow gold,
0:28:21 > 0:28:231950's, with this lovely leaping fawn, deer,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25and a little scallop border.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Weighs in at five grams, paid £90 for it, 18 carat gold.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31- I really hate this.- Right.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34It's not my style, but you have got a teapot cover and stand.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37You have got a water jug. You have got a sugar bowl and a milk jug.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- £20. - It is good for £20. I love these.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44I love that little vesta box.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47There are lots of vesta boxes about, but the ones that tend to
0:28:47 > 0:28:49get the money are ones which are a wee bit unusual,
0:28:49 > 0:28:54- and I think that is absolutely lovely.- £25 for that.- 25!
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Yeah. And I bought it with this, which is a 1970's...
0:28:57 > 0:29:00It is 1974 silver spill vase.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02- That was another £25.- Good buy.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06And maybe I'll have to say goodbye to the lead.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Well, I don't know. There is one other purchase.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Being a very, very keen skier, I bought these two.
0:29:12 > 0:29:18- A pair of...- Old skis. - Old skis. About 90 years old.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- This should make about 20 quid. - Yeah, about £20.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23And I need every little helps, every little helps.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27It does, Jonathan, but what will you think of Anita's buys?
0:29:27 > 0:29:31So, what I went for was... a little coffee table.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35- Six good knees. - Well, I've only got one, so...
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Um, no, I like the look of it, but I must say that
0:29:38 > 0:29:40reproduction furniture is not the easiest thing to sell
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- in the rooms. How much did you pay for it?- £50.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- I think it has potential.- Yeah. - OK, what else have you got?
0:29:48 > 0:29:53My favourite thing was this wonderful piece of Welsh tapestry.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55And I just couldn't resist these wonderful colours.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Yeah, but how much did you pay for it?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- I paid £60 for that.- Oh, God, that's cheap enough, isn't it?- I know.
0:30:00 > 0:30:07So, I found this in a corner, in a back room, down the bottom.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09What's this off? Is this off a fruit machine or something?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12It could be a photograph frame.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14That's really good, isn't it?
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Well, he's not so sure. It's certainly different.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22It has come from a pinball machine, of the maybe '60s or '70s.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- How much was that?- Well, I was wanting to pay that for it.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- Six quid?- Uh-huh. But I paid seven.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33Gee whiz, you don't stop, do you?
0:30:33 > 0:30:38- You don't stop. Seven pounds. - My last item is a chandelier.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Oh, wonderful. A bit of age? - It is not a Victorian one.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44I would say latter part of the 20th century.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- OK, so relatively new.- Uh-huh.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Chandeliers don't go out of fashion,
0:30:48 > 0:30:50people still want to buy chandeliers.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- Mm. How much was that then?- £100.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55OK. Crikey. Yeah.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57So, are you feeling lucky?
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Yeah, well, I think I may have taken a big gamble with six quid.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Oh, I don't think so. Don't think so.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05But what do they really think?
0:31:05 > 0:31:08The skis? Well, he is a skier, so he had to buy them,
0:31:08 > 0:31:10but they're full of wood worm.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14She has paid too much for the chandelier and she won't be able
0:31:14 > 0:31:19to sell the modern '50s awful Louis XV-XVI style table.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Mm. The handbags well and truly out, then.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Let's get back on the road and head to auction.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Long, old go this, isn't it?
0:31:34 > 0:31:38Cor, it has been an ambitious finale with Anita and Jonathan
0:31:38 > 0:31:40battling it out, from Colwyn Bay
0:31:40 > 0:31:45along the North Wales coast, to Llangefni on the Isle of Anglesey.
0:31:48 > 0:31:53This is the famous Menai Bridge that connects mainland Wales to Anglesey.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56I wonder if Anita knows when it was built.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58This was opened in 1826, John.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03- Was it really? - Yep. It said it up there.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Cheeky!
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Our pair of road trippers are travelling through the Anglesey
0:32:08 > 0:32:11countryside, heading for today's auction, but, Lordy,

0:39:31 > 0:39:34Can she claw back a big chunk of profit?

0:40:00 > 0:40:04So, can Jonathan push through to the finishing line?
0:40:04 > 0:40:12It's exciting, isn't this? It all depends on the very last lot.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14That is right, Anita.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18How will Jonathan fare with his Victorian gold brooch?
0:40:18 > 0:40:21The one that is studded with diamonds!
0:40:21 > 0:40:22Breathe in...
0:40:25 > 0:40:26And relax.

0:41:01 > 0:41:02The last lot!
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Yippee!
0:41:06 > 0:41:11Jonathan's won today's auction, but who will be the overall winner?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Let's do the maths.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- Shall we go and get some fresh air? - Yeah.- Come on.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24Anita started today's leg with £471.03.
0:41:24 > 0:41:30And, after paying auction costs, made a loss of £100.54,
0:41:30 > 0:41:36bringing her final earnings to £370.49.
0:41:38 > 0:41:43Jonathan, meanwhile, started with £337.77
0:41:43 > 0:41:49and made a profit of £50.09, netting him £387.86.
0:41:49 > 0:41:54Hey, Jonathan, settle down, that's almost scary.
0:41:56 > 0:42:02So, the winner for this week's Road Trip by less than £20 is...
0:42:02 > 0:42:03..Jonathan!
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Oh, that is unbelievable, isn't it?
0:42:11 > 0:42:14- I honestly thought I was going to be...- I know!
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- Oh, I'm sorry.- No, that is great. - That's brilliant.- Well done.
0:42:18 > 0:42:23All profits our experts make go to Children In Need.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Sadly though, Anita and Jonathan's adventure is over.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31# So long, farewell Auf wiedersehen, good night... #
0:42:31 > 0:42:34But in the past week, we have had a brush with the law...
0:42:34 > 0:42:37This is the pride of Glasgow police.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40..Jonathan couldn't make up his mind...
0:42:40 > 0:42:44I don't really want to blow all my money on the first day.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47..Anita just couldn't keep away from hats...
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Evening, all.
