0:00:02 > 0:00:06It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each,
0:00:06 > 0:00:11a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Yippee!
0:00:12 > 0:00:18- I've just done a terrible thing. - The aim is to make the biggest profit at auction,
0:00:18 > 0:00:23- but there will be worthy winners and valiant losers.- Flip a coin?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29We're rubbish!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:44It's the fourth leg of our trip in a 1980s Mini with David Harper and Catherine Southon.
0:00:44 > 0:00:50- This time they're desperate! - I can't remember what it's like to make money!- We must make something
0:00:50 > 0:00:54- somewhere along the line.- Do you think we'll ever make profit again?
0:00:54 > 0:01:00I know these two have done it before, but you wouldn't think so from their performance.
0:01:00 > 0:01:06- We're rubbish!- In fact, it got so bad last time that Catherine's shabby chic cabinet
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- didn't even fetch a single bid. - Nobody?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12There you go.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17Shabby, indeed. You'll be seeing more of this at today's auction!
0:01:17 > 0:01:25Catherine started out with £200 and she's managed to reduce it to a mere £168.10.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28While David's even worse,
0:01:28 > 0:01:33transforming his starter pack of £200 into just £164. Ha!
0:01:33 > 0:01:39- I'm actually winning!- You are! - I should be driving. I drive when I win.- You should.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42You're in front by four quid.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49Our trip begins at Eccleston in Lancashire and heads south for about 350 miles
0:01:49 > 0:01:55through Wales and the West Country to Seaton on the south coast of England.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Today we're starting out at Merthyr Tydfil in Wales
0:01:59 > 0:02:03and heading for an auction in England at Wotton-under-Edge.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Although just a few miles south of the Brecon Beacons National Park,
0:02:07 > 0:02:13- the countryside around Merthyr is very different.- I imagine in the '60s and the '70s
0:02:13 > 0:02:17this would be buzzing with real industry. My gosh!
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Merthyr was once a boom town, built on coal and iron.
0:02:21 > 0:02:27When those industries went into decline, it fell on hard times, but Merthyr's on the way back,
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- a bit like our two road trippers, we hope.- Nice little move. - What do you think about that?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- What a parker!- Well done!
0:02:35 > 0:02:38You're very fast at running, David!
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Shall I go up?- Go on, then. I'll start down here.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- I'm Kelly.- Nice to meet you.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51Looks like first strike to Catherine. She'll get help from Kelly while David's upstairs
0:02:51 > 0:02:58- with several rolls of carpet. - I'm looking for some nice silver. Have you got any nice pieces?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So we've got a little vesta.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- I'm not sure that is silver. - David's had much the same idea.
0:03:09 > 0:03:16We are desperate for silver. Is there any in there? And the answer is...not.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19It's all either pewter or silver-plated.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24Perhaps having burned their fingers on more than one occasion, they're playing safe,
0:03:24 > 0:03:29but if Catherine has her way, there might not be any left!
0:03:29 > 0:03:36I'm finding a couple of bits of silver and hiding them from him. I'll have a proper look later.
0:03:37 > 0:03:43- I'm Kelly. Nice to meet you. - Hello. Any nice bits of silver? - He's back. Could be interesting.
0:03:43 > 0:03:50- I don't like it when he's so close to me.- Looks like David might go for gold if he can afford it.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Oh.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Oh...
0:03:55 > 0:04:01- You can have a little look. - Oh, how much is that?- Oh, you're probably looking at £250 for that.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- That's without the watch. - But is it the real thing?
0:04:05 > 0:04:11- I'm trying desperately to find a hallmark that I can read. - Even scrap value would be pricey.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13But it's a risky buy.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17So we're not actually 100% sure whether it's actually gold.
0:04:17 > 0:04:23- No, you can make an offer if you want.- Ooh, Kelly.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27There is the maker, which is RG, I believe.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- RG could stand for rolled gold, do you think?- Gosh, gosh, gosh.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Could be.- It is rolled gold.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I can see it. Well spotted. I think it's rolled gold.
0:04:38 > 0:04:44That was a lucky escape. Rolled gold is a layer of gold bonded onto a base metal such as brass.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48It's also known as gold fill and worth very little.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Meanwhile, the magpie's retired to her nest.
0:04:52 > 0:04:58- Nickel-plated. - Tricky business, though, working out what's really precious.
0:04:58 > 0:05:05You would expect it to be silver, but it's just silvered brass. You can see the brass coming through.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13The only thing I'm possibly interested in, if it is dirt cheap, is the little decanter.
0:05:16 > 0:05:171929.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19It's marked on the collar.
0:05:19 > 0:05:26Can you see how the pattern on top matches on the bottom, so we know the stopper is absolutely crisp?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30That's a sweet little thing. It'll probably sell for about £30.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Actually, that's the ticket price.
0:05:33 > 0:05:39- Can I have a quick look? Is that a picnic set?- David's found something else that's shiny.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- It's a lighter. - And an ashtray, by the looks of it.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Yeah, or a cigarette box.- Yeah.
0:05:46 > 0:05:53A flask. It looks like a 1920s-1940s novelty picnic set.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I think.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- That's an ice bucket.- They were the days of proper motoring,
0:06:00 > 0:06:06- when any self-respecting road tripper had to be prepared to pack a heavyweight picnic.- Really odd.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- And it's quirky. How much is it?- 55?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- Ouch! Kelly...it would need to be 20 quid.- Let's say 25.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20- You're just too nice. Give us a kiss.- First deal to David. Now what's Catherine got there?
0:06:20 > 0:06:28A cricket bat used during this particular match between Gloucestershire and Yorkshire.
0:06:28 > 0:06:35- And seemingly autographed by both sides.- Go away!- She's spotted the item I wanted to look at.
0:06:35 > 0:06:42Now, now, David. The auction just happens to be in the famous cricket county of Gloucestershire.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44That's very bad for me.
0:06:44 > 0:06:51- Gloucester's first captain was the legendary WG Grace.- First one to touch it gets it!- Howzat!
0:06:51 > 0:06:58Looks like David might have to retire to the pavilion. Catherine opens the batting against Kelly.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03- £70.- Oh!- How much were you thinking of?- About 20.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- 45?- 30 I'd really like to pay.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11- I think that's what they call playing a straight bat.- 35.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Come on. 30, please.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Go on. We'll have a deal at 30. - Thank you. You're very kind.
0:07:18 > 0:07:25- Just before you go, your little oil decanter upstairs. What could you do on that?- 15.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Would you do 10 on that? - Oh, go on, then. 10.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34So £30 for the bat, but having suggested £10 for the decanter,
0:07:34 > 0:07:41- Catherine's had second thoughts. - If it was a perfume bottle, I could see people getting excited about it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46- How much do you want to pay? - I'll give you £5 for it.- Go on.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- Thank you so much. - Remember David's picnic set?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55He may have found just the right thing to go with it.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Look at that.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01A Steiff bear. Isn't he just sweet?
0:08:01 > 0:08:07Steiff are a German company famed for their top quality teddies since 1902.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Each Steiff bear has distinctive features.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15A very long snout, glass eyes,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18of course, a nice earring.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Moveable limbs.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Patches on the paws.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28- And these things can be worth fortunes. Can he be worth 20 quid? - Oh, no.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Oh...- Is that horrible?- Yeah.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- He doesn't think so. - Let's say 30.- 30's fantastic.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Thank you very much, Kelly.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43# Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic... #
0:08:43 > 0:08:47So after that shopping spree time for our two to head south
0:08:47 > 0:08:51to the Taff Valley. From Merthyr to Cardiff.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56The Welsh capital became the principality's largest city during the 19th century
0:08:56 > 0:09:00when the docks began exporting Welsh coal to the world.
0:09:00 > 0:09:07Nowadays, Cardiff is all about regeneration, with huge building projects throughout the city,
0:09:07 > 0:09:12- but there are still plenty of Victorian gems.- Look at these!
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- A tiger.- That is impressive.- Isn't that wonderful? This is lovely.
0:09:16 > 0:09:22- I'd love to jump on the tour bus. - We'd have a great time.- I know!
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Sorry, chaps. No time for fun. How about some different Victoriana
0:09:26 > 0:09:31at a Grade 2-listed former pumping station on the outskirts of the city, eh?
0:09:31 > 0:09:37- I've been here before.- Have you? - This will take you hours to cover! - See you later.
0:09:37 > 0:09:44- See you later.- Big, isn't it? All that pumping room can now be used to stow antiques.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48No David around either to cramp Catherine's style.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52This place is massive and I've got hardly any time.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Still looking for some silver, I see.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01That's quite nice, isn't it? ..Oh, it's expensive.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04£120.
0:10:07 > 0:10:14- Dealer Helen's got some bargain silver, though.- Oh. What is it?- Pencil.- A pencil, yeah.
0:10:14 > 0:10:20That's quite nice with the original pencil. Nicely hallmarked, nicely engraved with the flowers.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24I'm guessing it's late Victorian. It's £25.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- How much did you want for that? - I could do 10.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Could you do a bit less? Five? Eight?- Eight.
0:10:33 > 0:10:39- OK, I'll have that from you. Lovely. For eight, thank you. - What a deal!
0:10:39 > 0:10:45It seems Catherine's really sticking to silver and things with a bit of quality.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Anything else? - I think this is really striking.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53It's Edwardian, I would say, in date. Maybe slightly later.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55So around 1910.
0:10:55 > 0:11:02I love the simplicity of the three pearls and then you've got these semi-precious stones
0:11:02 > 0:11:05set in silver. I've got no idea on the price.
0:11:05 > 0:11:13We really need to get hold of the owner. I just think it's really classy. Perfect for Gloucestershire.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18The ticket price is £48. Time to call the dealer and turn on the charm.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I do like this little brooch. I think it's quite sweet.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27Do you want to do this for £15? ..Yeah.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Sounds like it's going well.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Ahh.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37Are you sure you won't do it for 10? You just said you liked me.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Go on!
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Even better.- Thank you very much. Thank you. Bye-bye.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47So £10 for the brooch! And £8 for the pencil.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52Catherine's quality collection is really coming along.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57But what about that old rogue David? Well, he's headed for Cardiff Bay.
0:11:57 > 0:12:04Viewers of a sensitive nature may wish to hide behind their sofas for his trip to the future!
0:12:06 > 0:12:10After several hundred episodes over nearly 50 years,
0:12:10 > 0:12:15Doctor Who is one of the most famous British sci-fi series of them all
0:12:15 > 0:12:21and there's a museum to celebrate the achievement. David's meeting Andrew, the Artefacts Manager.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- Good afternoon.- Hi, there.- Welcome to the Doctor Who Experience.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- I assume it's much bigger inside than it looks outside?- Of course.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36The Doctor Who Experience includes a fascinating collection of props, old and new.
0:12:36 > 0:12:42From the iconic sets to the ghastly villains, it's amazing quite how much has survived.
0:12:42 > 0:12:48The current incumbent is young Matt Smith, but the Doctor's been regenerating for years
0:12:48 > 0:12:53- and they've got all his costumes here.- I'm loving the fashions!
0:12:53 > 0:12:59Aren't these just absolutely spectacular? We all have our favourite Doctors
0:12:59 > 0:13:03or the ones we remember from childhood, but of all the Doctors,
0:13:03 > 0:13:09Tom Baker, with that massive scarf and his booming voice was just fantastic.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Tom's silhouette with the scarf and floppy hat and big, toothy grin
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- is the image everybody remembers. - Fantastic outfit.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21But where would any Doctor be without his TARDIS?
0:13:21 > 0:13:26A police telephone was a common enough sight in 1963, I suppose,
0:13:26 > 0:13:32but the programme makers have bravely resisted the temptation to upgrade the old box.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36This is the oldest surviving police box prop in the BBC's possession.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40In the classic series, there were only four and this is the third.
0:13:40 > 0:13:46- What does TARDIS stand for?- Time And Relative Dimension In Space. - Am I the only one not to know that?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49You might very well be.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Doctor Who's been scaring us silly for almost half a century.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Mary Whitehouse hated it, you'll be glad to hear.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03Much credit for that goes to the long list of grisly foes the Doctor has faced.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08From the Cybermen all the way up to the Silence.
0:14:08 > 0:14:14But there's nothing quite so unimaginably evil as the daddy of them all, the Daleks.
0:14:14 > 0:14:22- Exterminate!- Oh, lordy! - They are the ultimate Doctor Who villain. They're always destroyed,
0:14:22 > 0:14:27but end up coming back. From the earliest one in 1963 to the most recent one here.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32Just like the TARDIS, the Daleks haven't really changed much.
0:14:32 > 0:14:41- Still nasty, still a tad impractical.- People have said all it has is a sink plunger.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46- How can it be dominant...? - The egg whisk is to tickle you into submission.- No, that's a ruby laser
0:14:46 > 0:14:50which will fry you in about 3 seconds flat.
0:14:50 > 0:14:57Always dreaming of global domination, but never managing it, does he remind you of anyone?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I am a Dalek!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I am a Dalek!
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Exterminate!
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- With my egg whisk! - Now, now!- Sorry. Sorry.
0:15:07 > 0:15:13- We'll have to let you know. - I'm sorry. You said it would be an experience and it has been.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- Thank you very much.- You're very welcome.- I'll never forget it.
0:15:17 > 0:15:23I wonder if Catherine knows about David's interest in evil aliens?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Nighty night.
0:15:34 > 0:15:41- Next morning finds Catherine in the driving seat, eager to forge ahead. - GEARS GRIND
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Good God!- Whoops!
0:15:43 > 0:15:49Yesterday, David bought a chrome picnic set and a Steiff bear for £55,
0:15:49 > 0:15:54leaving him with £109 to spend today.
0:15:54 > 0:16:01While Catherine bought a silver pencil, a brooch, an oil decanter and a signed cricket bat for £53.
0:16:01 > 0:16:08- This is going to make the difference.- Leaving her with £115.10 at her disposal.
0:16:08 > 0:16:14They'll soon wind up at auction in Wotton-under-Edge. Next stop, though, is Newport.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Once the site of a huge armed rebellion by the Chartists,
0:16:20 > 0:16:25they descended in their thousands on the town in 1839.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29But David's come here alone to do a little shopping.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Ah, bric-a-brac.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38Now David doesn't have potfuls of money, but there's a fair old mix of stuff in this place.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I'm sure something will fire his imagination.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49God, that's amazing. From late '60s, early '70s. Dinky Toys.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53So well made. Incredibly well made.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Look at that. Goodness sake, it works.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Look. You roll your cars on,
0:17:00 > 0:17:05your cars are on the top, you roll your second car. It's fantastic.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- A bit tatty, though, isn't it? - I would want that.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- What?!- Right. I've got an idea.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16I walked past these earlier. We've got some vintage cars.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19So what do we have here?
0:17:19 > 0:17:25- A really well-used AC sports car. - I think the expression is play-worn or clapped out.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31- British sports car. Beautiful shape. - Dinky cars first went on sale in the '30s
0:17:31 > 0:17:37and the rival Corgis appeared in 1956. They do say they should be boxed and in mint condition
0:17:37 > 0:17:44- to make real money.- Fabulous.- But David doesn't seem too fussed about the condition of these old bangers.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Gorgeous. We'll put that on our circa 1970 car transporter.
0:17:48 > 0:17:54- John? Have you got any more cars for my transporter? - There's a few in the cupboard.
0:17:54 > 0:18:00- He's only just starting! - Let me have a root round that box. Let's put a collection together.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03What have we got? Oh! I like that.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08It's a Ford Zephyr. Motorway patrol car. Come on!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I like that, John, but hang on...
0:18:14 > 0:18:19Look at that. A late 1960s, early 1970s tour bus. Look at it!
0:18:19 > 0:18:24And it's made of metal. It's just beautifully constructed.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29That works and so we have a nice little collection there.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- How much, John? - 60 quid, the lot.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- 40 quid.- 50's a deal.
0:18:36 > 0:18:3745.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Deal.- Good man.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Fantastic!
0:18:44 > 0:18:50- Of course, that's the bus they used in... What's the film? - The Italian Job? Never!
0:18:50 > 0:18:55Even better. It's the Italian Job bus.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59# The Self-Preservation Society
0:18:59 > 0:19:04# This is the Self-Preservation Society... #
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Meanwhile, Catherine has made her way from Cardiff into England and Ross-on-Wye.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16This area with its beautiful river scenery was in many ways the first British tourist destination.
0:19:16 > 0:19:23Trips began in the 18th century and several early tour guides followed. It's still popular with tourists,
0:19:23 > 0:19:27although Catherine, of course, isn't here on holiday.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- Good morning. I'm Catherine. Very nice to meet you.- Penny.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- Hello, Penny.- I'm sure we'll have no complaints about this place.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42There's some quality here. Nicely laid out, too.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48- Silver. I thought she might end up at that cabinet. - I like that at the back.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54- It's hard to find this sort of quality at the moment.- Yes. - There's so much silver plate.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59But that's quite nice. An aide memoire. You'd write notes on here in pencil.
0:19:59 > 0:20:06And you'd very gently rub it off. It's got 195 on it, Penny. Is there any movement in that?
0:20:06 > 0:20:13- How big a movement do you think? - I think my movement might have to be a little too...
0:20:13 > 0:20:20- It would have to be very big. - I couldn't really come down more than, say, 25%.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Right, OK.- Oh, dear. What else has Penny got in there?
0:20:24 > 0:20:29- A sugar caster.- That's more like it. Yeah, that's more like it.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33It's quite elegant, isn't it? It's Edwardian in date. 1918.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37You've got 55 on it. What could you do on that?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Em...45.- Oh, gosh. Really?
0:20:40 > 0:20:45- I was looking more like 30, to be honest.- My rock bottom would be 40.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I'm not sure I would make much on that. I think probably not.
0:20:49 > 0:20:55Sounds like Catherine needs to add a little something to sweeten the deal.
0:20:55 > 0:21:02- What about the opera glasses? Do they belong to you?- Yes. - You see these all the time.- Yes.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08Mother of pearl. The thing is they're nice, crisp and in lovely condition.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12You've got £26 on that. Is there...? What can you do on that?
0:21:12 > 0:21:18- 20?- Could you come down a bit more than that? Maybe 15?- 18?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- 15?- 15, yeah. - I think we might be getting focused!
0:21:22 > 0:21:2815 on the binoculars and 40 on that, so the two together... that's 55.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34- Can we do the two together for 50? - OK.- Thank you very much, Penny.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37You're very kind. Lovely.
0:21:38 > 0:21:44At least it's not a load of old toy cars, but I suppose they may just appeal to someone.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Meanwhile, David's motored over from Newport to Chepstow.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54A little bit further down the River Wye, Chepstow was once the largest port in Wales,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57then a major shipbuilding centre.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02This town has been on the English border for nearly 500 years.
0:22:02 > 0:22:08- Hello.- Hello. Good afternoon. - I'm David Harper.- Hello. I'm Lesley. - Hello, Lesley. Lovely to meet you.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Can I look around?- Please do.
0:22:10 > 0:22:17David has only got £64 left, so although he's looking at some of the nicer items here, he may struggle.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- I bet that wouldn't be 20 quid or something, would it?- No.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25- Really?- Really, it wouldn't. - So I was right then?- You were right. Absolutely right.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I like him.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I do like him.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- The monkey.- No.- What do you mean?
0:22:35 > 0:22:40- He will never, ever be for sale. - Why not?- He's my lucky mascot.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- He's gorgeous.- I think Lesley feels a bit guilty about that.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48But luckily, she does have something strangely similar in stock.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50You said "quirky"!
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- Aw!- Quirky.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57- So they're plant pots of some sort. - I would think so. Do you think so?
0:22:57 > 0:23:02- They could be brush pots.- Could be. - For artists? Probably Staffordshire.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Let's say 1930s.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- Fun item.- I quite like them. They've got a bit of a cheek to them.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Yes.- They put a smile on your face. - Definitely, yes.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15How cheeky cheap could they be?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Go on, just give me an idea.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21To you, 45.
0:23:21 > 0:23:2245...
0:23:22 > 0:23:25How about 15 each, 30, cash?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- That's pushing me a bit, actually. - Go on.
0:23:28 > 0:23:34- Try and guess what they're trying to tell you.- They'd be slightly offended to go that cheaply.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39- No, they want to go for 30. - They think they're worth 40. - I can't do that.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- 35.- Well, I couldn't say no. How could I say no? Thank you so much.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I'm not sure about the quality of what David's bought,
0:23:46 > 0:23:51but he's certainly making his money go a very, very, very long way.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Fantastic.- Thank you very much.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55While David's been monkeying about,
0:23:55 > 0:24:01Catherine's made her way from Ross-on-Wye to the Forest of Dean and the little village of Churcham,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03deep in the Gloucestershire countryside,
0:24:03 > 0:24:08and wearing some extremely inappropriate footwear, I might say.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11MOOING
0:24:11 > 0:24:16Catherine is here to see a farm where they're keeping a unique form of cheese-making alive
0:24:16 > 0:24:19because thanks to the milk from a rare breed,
0:24:19 > 0:24:25their Single Gloucester cheese is as highly prized and protected as Parma ham or champagne.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Oh!
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Squelch!
0:24:28 > 0:24:34- Hello there. I'm Catherine. - Hello, Catherine. I'm Diana. - Very nice to meet you. Hello, Diana.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39- Is this where it all happens?- It's all happening in there at the moment.
0:24:40 > 0:24:4685-year-old Diana Smart started making cheese as a retirement hobby 25 years ago...
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Meet the rest of the team.
0:24:48 > 0:24:54..becoming one of just a handful of small producers making Single Gloucester.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57There's only five or six makers of it in the world.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59It must be made in Gloucestershire.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02It must be made to a traditional recipe
0:25:02 > 0:25:06and the farm that makes it must have Gloucester cattle.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11Gloucester cattle have always been prized for their fine cheese-making milk,
0:25:11 > 0:25:16but perhaps the real secret of Diana's Single Gloucester lies in the old-fashioned machinery
0:25:16 > 0:25:19she's inherited like the ancient curd press...
0:25:20 > 0:25:23..and the venerable curd mill.
0:25:23 > 0:25:29- It looks like a piece of late Victorian machinery.- Well, yes.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31It's at least 100 years old.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36- Probably more like 120 or 130 years old.- Right.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41OK... I'm worried about your fingers. You said you haven't had an accident yet.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- This is hard work. - It pays off though.
0:25:47 > 0:25:53Last year, their Single Gloucester was declared the best traditional cheese at the British Cheese Awards.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I think they called it Sweet Smell of Success.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59It's quite ripe, isn't it?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Wow!
0:26:02 > 0:26:07Diana's cheese matures in here for several months and gathers quite a bit of mould...
0:26:07 > 0:26:09They're almost black, aren't they?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12..before it's scrubbed out and ready to eat.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Let's try.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Oh, that's lovely!
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Now make your exit fast, Catherine. These cows need milking.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26MOOING
0:26:28 > 0:26:33Back in Chepstow, not content with his already huge amount of stuff, David's been shopping.
0:26:33 > 0:26:39Well, he does still have £29 to spend and he's a devil for it.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44- Hello.- Hello.- Hi. I'm David Harper. - Good afternoon. My name is Dawn. - Nice to see you.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- There's lots of different things to look at here.- OK.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52Dawn seems nice. I wonder how she'll take the news about David's limited funds though?
0:26:52 > 0:26:58- Doulton vases. I bet they couldn't be £29 for the pair?- 150.- I've only got 29.
0:26:58 > 0:27:0129? Is that all you've got left?
0:27:01 > 0:27:07- It's a bit rubbish, isn't it? - That's a bit unfair. Why didn't you come to me first?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Dawn's not easily discouraged though.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11That could be £20.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Not bad. Down from £38, Dawn.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19So it's a lady's nail manicure set in its original box, which is nice.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23"By appointment to His Majesty the King."
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Good sign. So what do we have? We've got a nail buffer.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- They're all silver. - They are all silver.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34- It's about 1908, 1910.- 1908, 1910, yeah.- So it's Edwardian.- Yes.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37So circa very early 20th century.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42Let me bear that in mind. You might want to sell me that with another something.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44OK. What can they come up with?
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- They look a bit Indian. - How about a silver condiment set?
0:27:48 > 0:27:52I could do that lot for 25 if you wanted this set instead.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- I want to spend 29.- You like being difficult, don't you?- I do.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I'm sure Dawn's had easier customers than this bloke.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Tea caddy?- Tea caddy...
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Oh! A little, lacquered Chinese tea caddy.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11- Not in bad condition, considering a lot of them get chipped, don't they?- Is that £9?
0:28:11 > 0:28:15- Yeah, I could do that for £9 for you. - Could you?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18OK, let's have a look. Oh, hello.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22I didn't say it was perfect.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26There are three other tea caddies as well. Are they part of it?
0:28:26 > 0:28:32I think that manicure set is a dead cert though. It's just a question of what else?
0:28:32 > 0:28:39- So the deal is £29 for this and the Indian...- Silver.- ..silver?- Mm-hm.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43You couldn't chuck the tea caddies in as well, could you?
0:28:44 > 0:28:48You're definitely going to come and work for me! Goodness me!
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- £29?- For that wildest collection...
0:28:52 > 0:28:54That's a hard choice, isn't it?
0:28:54 > 0:28:55So...
0:28:55 > 0:29:01That, the Indian silver, but you know, it is what it is.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05And then the tea caddy is just as a bit of a sweetener.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- OK.- Yes?- Mm-hm.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- There we are.- Thank you...so much.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13That's quite a collection, actually, for £29.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Don't tell everybody.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Are you sure, David?
0:29:17 > 0:29:20That's a pile!
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Twenty...five.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- And look... - Oh, the pain! Look at this!
0:29:26 > 0:29:33- The pain.- Is that the lot?- Every penny. You have been wonderful. Thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38Who knows how he's going to arrange all that into some sensible lots for the auction?
0:29:38 > 0:29:43But while David has been buying everything he can get his hands on,
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Catherine has returned to the River Wye...
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Why? I don't know.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51..travelling from Churcham to Chepstow.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Here we are. Foxgloves. Ha-ha!
0:29:55 > 0:30:00- That looks familiar. - Hello, Lesley. Lovely to meet you. I love the trousers! Very nice.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03OK, I'll have a little look around.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Hot on David's trail. He was keen on that cabinet too.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- You've got some nice silver bits. - Yes.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Not going for the gravy boat, are we?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15I need one more special item, I think,
0:30:15 > 0:30:18that's going to get me out of a bit of trouble.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Now, what's this little...
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- This certainly feels like it's silver to me.- Yes.
0:30:28 > 0:30:301964.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32It's chainmail.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36And it's a little purse. Isn't that cute?
0:30:36 > 0:30:40It looks like it's missing a little ball off here.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46The ticket price is £38, but you'll struggle to get the price down.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Would you take £20 for that?
0:30:49 > 0:30:51- 30.- Oh, dear.
0:30:51 > 0:30:5420 would be better.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58- I would be losing money on it. - At 20?- Yes.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Shall we say 25 and that's sort of fair?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Is it?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Can't you stretch to 30?
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Um...- Go on.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12But I'd rather pay 25 just because I'm really struggling, Lesley.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16- What about 28?- Why not? 28. - We'll shake on 28.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19She's now got just £37.01 left to spend.
0:31:19 > 0:31:25I think we know what David would recommend, apart from buying a monkey, that is.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I'd like to spend all my money.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29I wonder what she'll plump for now?
0:31:29 > 0:31:34A nice pair of silver tongs. They've got the initial of the person who probably owned them.
0:31:34 > 0:31:41Imagine having a pair of silver tongs and putting your initial on! You must be terribly posh.
0:31:41 > 0:31:451901... Lesley, can we say 25?
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Go on, 25.- Wonderful.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.- So I owe you 28 and 25.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02Well done, Catherine. She wanted quality items and stuck to her guns.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Thanks ever so much. Bye-bye.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Let's get down to the river and look at their enormous piles of stuff.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Mind the cat!
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- Are you ready?- Yes.- Objets d'art.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- Oh, my gosh! You've bought an entire shop!- Just about.
0:32:17 > 0:32:23Mid-20th century, chrome, novelty gentleman's picnic type set.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Yeah, I like that. It's quite nice, isn't it? Yeah, I like that.
0:32:27 > 0:32:32I bought a little collection of tea caddies and I'm putting that lot as one lot.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- All of this?- All of that.- Job lot.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39Yes, it's unusual, but I couldn't resist getting the caddies.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44- You couldn't resist getting that bit of old, manky Chinese again. - Manky Chinese? How dare you!
0:32:44 > 0:32:47That was brand-spanking, compared to this lot.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50My favourite purchase of all...
0:32:50 > 0:32:53The first thing that strikes me is the condition.
0:32:53 > 0:32:58When you're buying cars like this, collectors want them to be absolutely mint, in their box.
0:32:58 > 0:33:04- I don't want to hear it. - Or they don't want to know. - They're not mint or in their boxes.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08But what about another one of David's more interesting lot creations?
0:33:08 > 0:33:13Indian condiment set here and I put that with a lady's manicure set.
0:33:13 > 0:33:19- Oh...- I know, but I couldn't help buying.- That's a bit risky, David. - Yes, but I had to spend every penny.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- Your Steiff...- Yeah.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- I love Steiff bears. - I love Steiff bears.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29Aw, everybody does! Those cheeky chappies can divide opinion though.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Absolutely horrible. What are they?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- Oh, David!- They're cute.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39How can you possibly say that is cute?
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Right, David's turn to be full and frank.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46- You remember one of the items? - I certainly do.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48I think that's really good.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- And it says 1988.- Yeah.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Apparently, Gloucestershire were in the county semi-finals in that year.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Uh-oh, not cricket experts!
0:33:58 > 0:34:02- It's interesting, isn't it?- Yes. - I think there's a profit there.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- OK.- So all of this here...
0:34:04 > 0:34:09- We've got three items here, all solid silver.- Yeah, good.
0:34:09 > 0:34:14- This is so sweet.- I know. It is a little beauty.- It's really lovely.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19- Then I've got a pencil.- Oh, sweet. This is you, a bit of jewellery? - That's lovely. It's Belle Epoque.
0:34:19 > 0:34:25- Three little seed pearls. That's one of my favourite items. - I think it's very pretty.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28But, Catherine, what will he see in these?
0:34:28 > 0:34:32- Mother-of-pearl, brass... - Perfect though.- Perfect, yes.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Yeah.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39They just don't excite me. That's all.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Not very exciting, but I was trying to spend all my money.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- And you did do it.- I didn't, David.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50I didn't quite make it, but you can see I really tried.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- That is trying. - That's perhaps tried too hard.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59Don't be catty, but let's find out what they really think.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03I really didn't like the monkeys. I thought they were nasty.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06They belong in the bin.
0:35:06 > 0:35:12She goes along and buys really nice, refined-looking stuff, making mine look like a car boot display!
0:35:12 > 0:35:16I think he's almost tried too hard. He's bought so much stuff
0:35:16 > 0:35:21that there's nothing really of any great quality.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Oh, dear!
0:35:23 > 0:35:27After starting out in the Welsh valleys at Merthyr Tydfil,
0:35:27 > 0:35:32our two are now ready for an auction in Gloucestershire at Wotton-under-Edge.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Here we are! "Monster boot sale."
0:35:35 > 0:35:38That is where your stuff belongs.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Oh, the Cotswolds.
0:35:40 > 0:35:46The Edge in the town's name refers to an escarpment in the hills which flank Wotton,
0:35:46 > 0:35:49but just how edgy will today's events be?
0:35:49 > 0:35:53- Oh, I have been here before. - Here we go.- What?
0:35:53 > 0:35:57- I knew it.- What?- I knew it. You always say that.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Don't tell me. They specialise in Steiff bears...
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- And toy cars.- And rubbish cars. - Rubbish cars?
0:36:04 > 0:36:09- Yes.- I'm feeling very confident about my items, not so much about yours.
0:36:09 > 0:36:15- Here we go.- Very confident indeed. - Good luck in the penultimate auction.- First one in wins!
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Welcome to Wotton Auction Rooms in the fabulous old Tabernacle.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29Remember that old cabinet of Catherine's that didn't sell the last time?
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Well, here it is again.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35What does auctioneer Philip Taubenheim think of it and their other lots?
0:36:35 > 0:36:39If we get a bid, I'll be delighted. I can say no more than that.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43The monkeys... You can always sell a monkey. I think they're quite fun.
0:36:43 > 0:36:50They're only a fairly cheap plaster, but they're 1920s or '30s and they're just quite amusing.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54The cricket bats are horribly difficult to estimate correctly.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58The best time to sell those is at a charity event in the evening
0:36:58 > 0:37:02when everybody has had too much to drink and you can't fail then.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06David started out with just £164 and, as usual, he spent it all
0:37:06 > 0:37:11on a huge pile of stuff that he somehow crammed into five auction lots.
0:37:11 > 0:37:17Catherine began with £168.10 and she spent £156 of it - good on her -
0:37:17 > 0:37:20on a much more refined five lots.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26Plus, she's still got that cabinet to shift. Good luck, Philip.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30For your delight, we have a 1930s glazed and painted, wooden display cabinet.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34I love that. The first time I saw it, I just fell in love.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37£10 to start? 10. £10, we're in.
0:37:37 > 0:37:4012 I'm bid. 14 I'm bid.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42£14 we're bid. At £14. 16 I'm bid.
0:37:42 > 0:37:4518 I'm bid. 20 I'm bid. 22.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- £22 takes it...- Yeah!
0:37:49 > 0:37:51I can't believe she's gone.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55What a start! Well, if that can sell, anything can.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Ey-up, it's David's monkeys.
0:37:57 > 0:38:0015 I'm bid. £15. 16 I'm bid. At 16. At 18.
0:38:00 > 0:38:0320 I'm bid. 22 I'm bid.
0:38:03 > 0:38:0524 I'm bid. 26 I'm bid.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- 28 I'm bid. 30 I'm bid. - Come on.- At £30.
0:38:09 > 0:38:1234 anywhere now? Are you happy with that at £32 then...?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Oh, my goodness me!
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Maybe they were a bit nutty.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21Of all the objects, I thought they had a chance of surprising.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Did you?- I genuinely did.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Now it's David's motoring picnic set and tea caddies?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29At 10. At 12 I'm bid.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32At 14 I'm bid. At 16 I'm bid. At 18 I'm bid. 20 now.
0:38:32 > 0:38:3522. 25. 28. Bid 30.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Oh, oh...- At £30. At £30 for everything in it.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41A cheap enough lot, surely, at £30.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- No, no!- All finished and happy with that at £30 then?
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Oh, dear, an even bigger loss after costs!
0:38:48 > 0:38:50I'm fed up.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Catherine's silver and glass lot is next.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57At 30 I'm bid. 35 I'm bid. 38. Bid 40.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00At 40 I'm bid. 42, is it? 42. 45.
0:39:00 > 0:39:0346. 48. At 48, the lot, I'm bid. At 48.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06The bid's on the book here. All done at 48...
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Oh, dear, and it started so well!
0:39:10 > 0:39:15- Why does that only make £48? - I don't know, I'm utterly devastated(!)- Oh, shut up!
0:39:15 > 0:39:19- It's your rubbish car collection next.- This is my big hope.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23It's been a while since these saw the showroom. Good runners though!
0:39:23 > 0:39:27At £10 I'm bid. 12 I'm bid. Is that 14 I'm bid? 16 I'm bid.
0:39:27 > 0:39:2918 I'm bid. 20 I'm bid. 22.
0:39:29 > 0:39:3125. At £25 I'm bid.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35£25 this time then... 306 on the book.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Well, that's second-hand cars for you, isn't it?
0:39:38 > 0:39:45- I honestly would have laid money that they would have made 80 quid. - No?- I would. But there you go.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49Now, how much does Wotton love Steiff bears?
0:39:49 > 0:39:5140 I'm bid. 45 I'm bid. 48.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Bid 50. £50 and it's sold at 50...
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- I've made money.- Yes, that's what's supposed to happen!
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- I've made some money.- Well done.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06Next, Catherine's brooch, got very cheaply. Real pearls, they think.
0:40:06 > 0:40:0935 I'm bid. At 35. Who wants it now? 40 I'm bid.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12At £40. I'm bid £40. 45.
0:40:12 > 0:40:1650 I'm bid. The bid's there. At £50 I'm bid. At £50, the brooch.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Any advance there? 50...
0:40:19 > 0:40:2050!
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- Well done.- Thank you very much.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25The best profit so far for Catherine.
0:40:25 > 0:40:30Now, how on earth do you describe this lot, David?
0:40:30 > 0:40:3220 I'm bid. 22. 25.
0:40:32 > 0:40:3428. Bid 30.
0:40:34 > 0:40:3632. 35.
0:40:36 > 0:40:3838. Bid 40.
0:40:40 > 0:40:4242. 42. Lady's bid.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46At £42 then... 45, another lady. At 45 I'm bid.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48All finished at 45 then...
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Like I say, an inspired pairing!
0:40:51 > 0:40:55So I'm just out of the hole... of despair.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Catherine now. Are we looking at a profit for these?
0:40:59 > 0:41:01£20 I'm bid. 25 I'm bid. 25. 28 I'm bid.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04At 28. 30 I'm bid. 32.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07At £32 this time then. 990.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Catherine's quality drive is paying off.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Well done. £12 profit.
0:41:12 > 0:41:18- You're stomping away.- Not really. After commission, how much is that? - You're definitely stomping away.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Now for her silver pencil and not very practical purse.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25£20 I'm bid, thank you. Right in the middle. 342A.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29At £20 I'm bid. 5 anywhere now for the two pieces? At £20 I'm bid.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32All done? At £20 I'm bid. Maiden bid. Happy to let that go?
0:41:32 > 0:41:35£20 and it's sold at £20 then...? You've got it.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- I'm really shocked.- I'm genuinely amazed at that. Genuinely.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Oh, dear. Silver doesn't always pay, it seems.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- Isn't that strange?- Very strange.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Finally, Catherine's willow wand.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Cricket bat next.
0:41:49 > 0:41:54- That's the worry.- Yeah. - This is the big worry for me, yeah.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Anyone want to give me £20 for the cricket bat? £20 I'm bid.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01He lives in Belgium! £20 bid. Don't let it leave the country.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03At £20. At £20.
0:42:03 > 0:42:0525 I'm bid. 30 I'm bid.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09At £30 I'm bid. The cricket bat at £30.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13At £30. Who moves it now? At £30 bid. 35 I'm bid. At 35.
0:42:13 > 0:42:1640 I'm bid. At £40 I'm bid. The bat at £40.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Is that the best we can manage in Gloucestershire?
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Any advance? It goes to Belgium.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25Are you all done and are you sure at £40? It's sold at 40...
0:42:25 > 0:42:30You did exactly the right thing. Right object, right sale.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33You made a profit and that's what it's about.
0:42:33 > 0:42:38It didn't quite reach the half century, but it's not been too bad a day for Catherine.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42David started out with £164
0:42:42 > 0:42:46and after auction costs, he made a loss of £14.76,
0:42:46 > 0:42:51so he now has just £149.24.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Catherine began with £168.10
0:42:54 > 0:42:58and after paying auction costs, she lost 16 pence,
0:42:58 > 0:43:03leaving her with the lead and £185.94 to spend tomorrow.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Well, you are the winner, Miss Southon.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12- And it means one thing. - All to play for.- You are driving.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16- Come on. You're my chauffeur-ess. - Which key? That key?- Big one.
0:43:16 > 0:43:22- All to play for now.- It is. I know. How terribly exciting! - This is very exciting.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- Oh!- Put the clutch in.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28- Next on the Antiques Road Trip... - Oh, arr!- Pirates?
0:43:28 > 0:43:33- # Wondering in the night... # - And dancing. - # What were the chances... #
0:43:33 > 0:43:37- No, no, no.- And how not to take "no" for an answer!- No.
