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 > 0:00:08..a classic car,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Yippee!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Have I just done a terrible thing?
0:00:14 > 0:00:18The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20There'll be worthy winners
0:00:20 > 0:00:22and valiant losers.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Am I going to flip a coin?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26So, will it be the high road to glory
0:00:26 > 0:00:27or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29I can't believe it - we're rubbish!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:36 > 0:00:38# Let's go trippin'!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43All this week, we've been doing just that
0:00:43 > 0:00:46with David Harper, Catherine Southern and their 1980s Mini.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52For most of their journey, they've been heading south,
0:00:52 > 0:00:53a bit like their money.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58We are not going to make hundreds or thousands of pounds.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00- I think you might be right. - It's not going to happen.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Because, whatever they bought...
0:01:03 > 0:01:04That is impossible!
0:01:04 > 0:01:06..big or small...
0:01:06 > 0:01:09profits had been very hard to come by.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11That's it. I am absolutely wiped out.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15So, today, on our final leg, we're heading for a Somerset showdown.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- This is it - last-chance saloon. - I know. I know.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- And we're in Bath! - We've got no chance!
0:01:25 > 0:01:27David started out with £200
0:01:27 > 0:01:30and he somehow managed to reduce it
0:01:30 > 0:01:33to an embarrassing £149.24.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Catherine also began with £200 and she has the lead,
0:01:38 > 0:01:42with a nothing-to-be-proud-of £185.94.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44But will she spend it all?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- The pirate pact? - Oh, baby - pirate pact!
0:01:49 > 0:01:50It's definitely happening,
0:01:50 > 0:01:55and this time, I will spend every last little pence.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Our trip began in Eccelston in Lancashire and headed south
0:02:01 > 0:02:02for about 350 miles,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04through Wales and the West Country,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06heading for Seaton in Devon.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Today we're starting out in the city of Bath,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13and then making for a thrilling finale by the sea,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15at an auction by the sea, in Seaton.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Although the city's been famous for a very long time,
0:02:21 > 0:02:25thanks to its healing waters, it was the Georgians who turned Bath
0:02:25 > 0:02:28into one of the country's most fashionable resorts.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30No, this doesn't, on the face of it,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33seem like the ideal place to find a bargain, but, chin up.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- This is VERY familiar. - Is it?- I've been here before.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41You've got no chance! I know them! They're mine!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Come on, you.- You are a devil!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Now, then. Now, then. - This is so familiar to me.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- It's like I was here yesterday. - It's like being at home.- It is.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Well, I just hope she can remember her way around,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59because even rabbits might find this shop a little bewildering.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Clearly, some very nice furniture, though.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Good furniture, but... I'm not looking for furniture.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08No, not with your funds, you're not.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09David seems a little nervous today.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Perhaps he can hear Catherine getting reacquainted.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Hello! I was here not so long ago. Very nice to see you again, Alex.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- Do you mind if I mooch? - No, you go have a look round.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23And if I find something, you're the man to negotiate with.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Come and see me and we'll have a chat.- Lovely.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29I like that.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32And that's the sort of thing that would stand out at auction.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34People will be drawn towards it.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38It's wooden.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41My little boy would love that! Isn't that gorgeous?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43How much is on that?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Oh, 170!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Strangely enough, the Thomas the Tank Engines stories
0:03:48 > 0:03:51were also inspired by a 1940s toy.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55The Rev Audrey wrote them for his son Christopher.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58This red one looks a bit more like James the Engine,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00one of Thomas's co-workers.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05British-made toy, probably...'40s, I would say, in date.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Maybe it's slightly earlier.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Probably '40s. Isn't that lovely? It's got a lovely look about it.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Got all its original paintwork.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Nice little vintage toy. You can't go wrong with that.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Although you can, at 170.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I think she'll certainly have a word about that.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26Meanwhile, David it seems has decided to give up on fancy stuff
0:04:26 > 0:04:29and buy with the auction in mind. Not a bad idea, Dave.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30See if you can churn it.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34We are going to a country sale and that's a provincial country item.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36And it could be the right thing to go to the right sale.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39This is an oak butter churn, 19th century,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42although the functional design barely changed over the years.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It could go down a storm in Devon.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48And let's see - if it's 50 quid, it's cheap.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Yes, but the ticket price of £140 would wipe you out.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Can I make you an offer on it? - You can.- OK.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- 50 quid, Alex. - You'll get more than that in Devon.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Not the way my journey's going!
0:05:02 > 0:05:03He's a bit desperate!
0:05:03 > 0:05:0465.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I have to be really hard. Under normal circumstances, I'd say yes.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Oh, yeah(?)
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Short of getting down on hands and knees...
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Please take my 50 quid.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Go on, then.
0:05:15 > 0:05:1750? Magnificent. Thank you very much.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- That's very, very, very good of you. - I know it is!
0:05:21 > 0:05:23What a start, eh?
0:05:23 > 0:05:24That certainly was a good churn.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26What's Catherine got there?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28That's a nice little set.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Are they all silver on the top?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Yes.- Lovely leather case.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35What's nice is, it's in lovely condition.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Still got the little tag.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38I'd say probably '30s.
0:05:38 > 0:05:45- OK. Nice original cap to that. Has that got the same one?- Yes.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47All the hallmarks match perfectly.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49That would have to be very cheap.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Ah. I thought it said "48".
0:05:51 > 0:05:53It was 148.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55We can talk about it a little bit. How about 80?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Still a lot.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59It's as far as I can go down.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I do really like the train.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02What about if we have the two?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05We can do that at 60.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08And the train at 90, how about that?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10That train's too expensive, at 90.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I'm thinking more 50, to be honest.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- No, can't do it.- Could you do 60, and I'll have the two, 120?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Go on, then.- OK.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Just before I shake your hand,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I'm going to think.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25That's blowing quite a lot of my money.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I'll shake your hand
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- on the train, definitely, at 60. - And the bottles?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Hold fire on the bottles. I'm definitely going for the train,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38at 60, and almost definitely going for the bottles, as well.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Tut-tut, Catherine, that's really naughty.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Alex agreed on a knock-down price IF you took them both.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Now what's she up to?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Do you see what I see?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56It has a whacking crack there.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58What a shame.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01That's disappointing.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03It's a no-no.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Thanks very much. See you!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Catherine gets the train for just £60,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12but that was a very foxy deal, young lady.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14One purchase each and suddenly Bath
0:07:14 > 0:07:17seems like a very nice place to stay.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20This looks like an interesting shop.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Whoa! This place must once have been a grocer's.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Oh, my gosh!
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I think David prefers it this way, though.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31What a shop!
0:07:31 > 0:07:34There aren't many shops like this left in the country.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Treasure troves.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Plus, there's Caroline, the proprietor.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41I love the outfit!
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Doesn't half keep you fit. Thank you.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45You have to be a contortionist!
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Apparently related to another Road Tripper.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Thomas Plant.- Thomas Plant?!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Nephew-in-law.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53What, our Thomas?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- No?!- Yes.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Yes, Tom.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00You're Thomas Plant's auntie, once or twice removed.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Yeah, he's a great guy.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Thomas and I, we're like that. - Oh, really?
0:08:05 > 0:08:06We're effectively brothers.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Oh, really?- Yes, my gosh.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Are you sure?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Yeah, me and Tom...
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Family discount.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I can give you some Green Shield stamps.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Worth a try, I suppose, David!
0:08:18 > 0:08:21But I think they might be out of date.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23How low will you stoop? She's no fool.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Perhaps if he finds the right object,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27kinship will kick in.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29That's quite nice. Spinach jade, that.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Really?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32You're kidding me?!
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Jade is amazingly hard, as you can imagine.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39The way to test it is to take a penknife and you go...
0:08:39 > 0:08:41the base of something.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42You just scratch it,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46and if it's soapstone, you will, literally, dig into it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47- That is hard... - HE TAPS THE BASE
0:08:47 > 0:08:51..So it's either a jade or a jadeite, but would be described
0:08:51 > 0:08:53as a hard stone.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56For the Chinese, jade has the same sort of cache
0:08:56 > 0:08:58as gold or diamonds in the West.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00The Imperial Family
0:09:00 > 0:09:02used it to furnish their graves.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03The price is on the up now,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06thanks to China's great economic might.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09It has a little fracture here.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Is she listening? It would have to be really cheap.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Caroline, were you listening to that?- I wasn't, I'm sorry.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I thought you were having a private conversation.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Well, I do talk to myself!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22The ticket price is £35,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24but what can Caroline do?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26How about a fiver off?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29My goodness me, I shouldn't have mentioned we're related.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Never mind, maybe Caroline can find him something a bit more suited
0:09:32 > 0:09:34for a country sale.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I bet you know what this is.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Looks a bit worrying to me, that.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Ah, something to do with a horse.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Yeah, but horse-drawn.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Horse-drawn carriage. Could it be £5 - just put it on my account?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48No, it can't be £5!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Just get trading. £6?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51No!
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Seven?- No!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I'm going to stamp my foot!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Quite right. Even the best of families
0:09:57 > 0:09:59sometimes have their differences.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- I'm sorry for looking at everything here.- That's £100.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Now make me an offer. - You are terrible.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07No, I think it's a two-way thing.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09This is therapy.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Hear that?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yes!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Would £20 buy it?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18I wish I hadn't shown it to you now!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Is that a yes?
0:10:20 > 0:10:21No!
0:10:21 > 0:10:24It might not seem like it, but I think they're making progress.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Of sorts.- Keep looking.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28- £10 on the chair?- No.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30OK.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33£18 on the jade cup?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Don't think so.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39No, I can't.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Almost?- Oh, dear.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44If you made it 20...
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Go on, then. - ..we've got a deal.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Woh!- Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We've done some business!
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Smelling salts, please!
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Congratulations.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I love it when a family makes up. Now, let's have a toast.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Ah, just the thing.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01These are quite nice.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04They have an early 19th-century look to them.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05They have the right look.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08I'd say they're late-Edwardian.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10HE PINGS GLASS
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Give them another ping.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13SHE PINGS GLASS
0:11:13 > 0:11:15"The ring of confidence!"
0:11:15 > 0:11:16THEY LAUGH
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- They're all right. Nice bit of old grinding there.- Good wear.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Good wear on that. - That's always a big sign.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24The ticket price on these is £46.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28What could they be to me?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I think it's time you left, so I'll give you a decent price.
0:11:32 > 0:11:3435, for the pair.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Could they be possibly 20, for the pair?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Tell you what, £30 and that's it.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Caroline, I can't.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- 20.- 26!- Go on, then. You're an angel.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47And now, are you going?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Don't worry, Caroline, the prodigal's off.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52He's almost spent his very-limited funds.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Just £53.24 left.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Now, what's Catherine up to?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Motoring from Bath up to Gloucestershire,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07and the village of Berkeley.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12She's here to visit a museum dedicated to Edward Jenner,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15the physician and scientist, who,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17as the pioneer of the smallpox vaccine,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20is said to have saved more lives than any other man.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Hi, very nice to meet you.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Welcome to Dr Jenner's house. - Wonderful.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Edward Jenner was born in Berkeley in 1749
0:12:29 > 0:12:31and later became the local doctor,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35whereupon he set about trying to eradicate smallpox,
0:12:35 > 0:12:39a disease which was then as deadly as cancer today.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Now we've all heard of smallpox,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46but we don't know really know very much more about it.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50It starts off with flu-like symptoms and, as the disease progresses,
0:12:50 > 0:12:54you come out in bumps and pustules all over your body.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Not only were they on your skin, but they were
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- also on your internal organs, your retinas and in your ear canals.- Oh!
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Even if you survived smallpox,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04you were either left with horrific scarring on your skin,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07but also deafness and blindness were absolutely rife.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- Would you literally be covered from head to toe?- Absolutely.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15In the 18th-century, the disease was untreatable
0:13:15 > 0:13:19and inoculation with the virus that causes smallpox
0:13:19 > 0:13:21was extremely dangerous.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25So Jenner started experimenting with a much milder cowpox
0:13:25 > 0:13:27as a possible vaccine.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Folklore stipulated that dairy maids didn't catch smallpox
0:13:32 > 0:13:35and they had beautiful skin so,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38"Fair dairy maids, why do you have such beautiful skin?"
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Jenner did actually ask a young lady that.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43She said, "You should know, you're an apprentice doctor,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45"you should know, I've had cowpox".
0:13:45 > 0:13:50In 1796, Jenner tested his theory by inoculating his gardener's son
0:13:50 > 0:13:55with pus from the cowpox blisters of a local milkmaid.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57The rest became history.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I'll show you that one.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01- Cow horn.- Right.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05We believe it belonged to Blossom, who's the cow that provided
0:14:05 > 0:14:08the first vaccine for Jenner's cowpox vaccination.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Ah, that's very significant.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Jenner's cowpox experiments
0:14:12 > 0:14:15showed that the boy, and several other patients,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18were immune to the deadlier smallpox disease.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22But the residents of Berkeley have yet more reason
0:14:22 > 0:14:24to be proud of their most famous son,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26because at the end of his garden, in this tiny summerhouse,
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Jenner vaccinated local people for free.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32His friends named it The Temple of Vaccinia.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38I mean, thousands upon thousands of lives would have been saved
0:14:38 > 0:14:43- in this room.- Yes, that's exactly right.- That's remarkable.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46In 1979, the World Health Organisation announced
0:14:46 > 0:14:50smallpox had been eradicated from the human population.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54No wonder they call Edward Jenner, "the father of immunity".
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Well, I don't know about you,
0:14:57 > 0:15:01but I think I could do with a bit of a lie down, after that lot.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Night, night.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11The next morning begins with a miracle of engineering.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13No, it's not the Mini...
0:15:13 > 0:15:18This is a lovely moment, going across Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Yesterday, David bought an oak butter churn,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25a so-called jade cup and some glass runners, for £96...
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- We've done some business. - Smelling salts, please!
0:15:29 > 0:15:32..leaving him with a mere £53.24 to spend today.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Catherine bought just a toy train, for £60,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41leaving her with almost £125.94 at her disposal.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46Soon they'll be setting off for that auction in Seaton
0:15:46 > 0:15:49but our next stop is the city of Bristol.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Famous for being seafaring and generally shipshape,
0:15:53 > 0:15:59Bristolians are also well known for adding an L to the end of words.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I'm fairly sure that Brunel already had one, though,
0:16:02 > 0:16:08when he arrived to make his various fine contributions to the city.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Brunel's Great Britain, my God!
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Great Britain, that is very exciting. Can't we go and see that?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- We haven't got time, we have got to go antique buying.- Arr!
0:16:17 > 0:16:21To the south of the city, there are a couple of very unusual shops.
0:16:21 > 0:16:27Side-by-side, owned by a father, Michael, and his daughter, Rachel.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- So, you go see Michael and I'll go and see Rachel.- Good luck.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- Hello.- Hello.- Might you be Michael, by any chance?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Catherine.- Hello.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Oh, you're a charmer, I don't even need to charm you.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Oh, Lord!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44The red dress is always charming.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46You and I are going to get on famously.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Steady on you two, it's more or less daytime.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Hello, Rachel, I'm David.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- Pleased to meet you, David. - Nice to meet you.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I think Catherine's just met your dad, next door.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Why are you laughing? You went, "Oh!" What's he going to do to her?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02My dad's rather a character. He is 71, going on 21.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04# Strangers in the night
0:17:04 > 0:17:06# Exchanging glances...
0:17:06 > 0:17:08# Do-be-do-be-do
0:17:08 > 0:17:10# What were the chances
0:17:10 > 0:17:13# We'd be sharing love
0:17:13 > 0:17:15# Before the night was through? #
0:17:15 > 0:17:17What is going on?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19And Michael's even got a brass section!
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- They're nice, the weights.- They make nice little doorstops, don't they?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Have you got a good strong wrist. Got it?- Yeah.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27SHE LAUGHS
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Called bell weights, because of the shape of a bell.- Yeah.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Weights like these were once used in all grocers' shops
0:17:34 > 0:17:37and in the butcher's that was here before Michael arrived.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41You see, you can still see the tiles around the walls.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- When I bought it, they were in the shop.- People collect these now.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49They look lovely on a dresser. How much are these, then, to me?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51As we are getting on famously!
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Those would normally be about £100.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- Yeah.- I'll do them for £60. That is reasonable.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00While she weighs these up,
0:18:00 > 0:18:03there's plenty more in this shop to grab her attention.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I do like your green bus.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Uh-oh, typical, you wait ages for a child sit-on transport-type toy
0:18:10 > 0:18:12and then two arrive in two days.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- It all tin plate, isn't it?- The kids used to ride on them, sit on them
0:18:15 > 0:18:17and go along the floor on them. A proper toy to play with.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Yeah, yeah, it's pretty sturdy.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- You can feel the weight of it. - It's nicely made.- It's pretty strong.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- It's robust, isn't it?- It was made to be used, not to be looked at.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28No, no, no. It would be lovely if there was a name of a maker.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30It's tin plate, that's for sure, and it would be nice to know...
0:18:30 > 0:18:32What does this say on the wheels?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Oh, that's interesting. MUSIC PLAYS
0:18:35 > 0:18:39It's made by Tri-ang, a very good brand in British toys.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43The name comes from the founding Lines family.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46There were three brothers, or three Lines, as in a triangle,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48hence Tri-ang.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51So we're talking '40s here?
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- I'd say between 1939 and 1950.- Mm.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59It may cost a little more now than it did then, though.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- It'll be 65. - SHE GASPS
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- To you...- 20?- Oh, no, no, no, no.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04£30.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08The thing is with this, it's been repainted.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Can we do 25.- Go on, then.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- 25?- Yeah.- Yeah. - And that is a bargain.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Are you sure you don't want to have a ride on it.- Huh?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Are you sure you don't want to sit on it?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20No, I do NOT want to sit on it! No!
0:19:20 > 0:19:22They are awful, aren't they?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25While she hitches a lift, let's take a peek next door.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I'm not looking for furniture, but I'm always drawn
0:19:28 > 0:19:29to anything with a Chinese feel.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33A little Chinese hardwood - probably rosewood - carved, urn stand.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35It's really pretty and it's quite small
0:19:35 > 0:19:39and I do find that quirky, small items sell very well.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Yeah, could be a little wine table, with an inset piece of pink marble.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Late 19th, early 20th century.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I mean, I've got 85 on that one,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- because I do rate it as a nice piece.- Yeah.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54I'm open to negotiations to a nice, young-looking men.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Oh, really, is there one in here?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57THEY LAUGH
0:19:57 > 0:19:59You are horrible, you are absolutely horrible.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's all going along rather well, isn't it(?)
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Time for David to own up.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I'll tell you what I've got - £54.24.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- But ideally, I want to buy two things.- Really?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11What do you think about that?
0:20:11 > 0:20:15You're going to be struggling there, then, aren't you? Right...
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Actually, he's even worse off with, only £53.24 to his name.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23I can do something on that, but it would be the majority of what
0:20:23 > 0:20:25you have, so you wouldn't be left with a lot.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28We might be able to come up with some negotiation.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30OK, that sounds interesting.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Now, what about Catherine?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36She's got the bus and she quite likes the weights.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I'll tell you what I'll do, if you fancy the two of them,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I'll do the two for 75.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44"Good ideal," as they might say in Bristol. But, there's more.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49- What's the carved little coconut thing?- Ah.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54So it is nicely hand carved,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58with leaves, decoration, lots of foliage, flowers.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01But interestingly,
0:21:01 > 0:21:08there's a little carved scene here, of two figures.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12They look like they've got some sort of spear or something there.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13He could have been the chief.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Coconuts have been carved for centuries,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19but then, just about every part of the coconut palm can be used.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22In the Philippines, they call it "the tree of life".
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Now, these things are really collectable.- Yeah, that's right.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30And, actually, quite rare, if in perfect condition.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32They can go for several hundred pounds.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35It's the shell. They've taken the hair off and polished...
0:21:35 > 0:21:38They've taken the coconut shell and it's all been...
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I think Michael's after Catherine's job.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43No, no, no.
0:21:43 > 0:21:49The problem with this one is that it's broken in several places,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52which is such a shame, but it's a lovely thing.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57They are very collectable now, very sought after, if perfect.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Michael's ticket price is £25, but I think
0:21:59 > 0:22:01she may get it for quite a bit less.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Next door, David still wants that table,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09but Rachel may have a piece of jewellery, to complete the deal.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13I would probably put £35 on that one piece, because that's Art Deco
0:22:13 > 0:22:16but obviously, I know you've only got a certain amount of money...
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Stop laughing!
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Is that definitely all you have? - Yes, I promise you.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- You have nothing else?- Look, I'll even show you. That and that.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I want you to have all of that money.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Are you thinking of giving me all of that...- No, no, no.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30All of that and the Chinese table?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- No, I'm thinking one item and the table.- No!
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I thought you were going, "I'm going to give you the Chinese table
0:22:36 > 0:22:39"and that little collection for all of that money".
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I just thought that's what you were going to say.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46He's just trying his luck, but will Rachel give in?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49You drive such a hard...
0:22:49 > 0:22:52You're so lovely, it's really hard to say "no" to you.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57I would be very happy to give you £54.24 for the Chinese table
0:22:57 > 0:22:59and that little collection.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Shameless stuff.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09- OK. OK. You've had SUCH a good deal! - You are gorgeous.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Thank you, so much.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15So Rachel's agreed to sell the table for £33.24 - ridiculous! -
0:23:15 > 0:23:17and all that jewellery for just £20.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Take your money, 54.24.
0:23:20 > 0:23:2253...
0:23:22 > 0:23:24..24.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26£53.24?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Oh, Rachel, I feel awful.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I've just fleeced you for another quid.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34All of that extra and now another pound, to add insult to injury.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Seems there's a lot of that going on. Now, has Catherine got a deal?
0:23:38 > 0:23:39No. Still looking.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Oh, that's nice, isn't it?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45It's the correct lid, which is very unusual. They're always missing.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46People replace them with corks.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- It's etched.- Meredith...- And Drew.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Meredith were biscuits.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Meredith and Drew, of Shadwell, East London,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58were founded in 1830 and made ginger nuts, Rob Roy's
0:23:58 > 0:24:02and forget-me-nots, as well as several other varieties.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- That is £45.- That is?- Yeah.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05And you've only got a fiver left.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08No, I haven't got a fiver left, I've got a bit more than that.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- But I'll put it there. - That's a possibility.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13So, what's she going to buy out of all this lot, then?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I've got the jars, the bus and the weights.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18That's three items for £95.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- How does that sound?- I've gone all giddy now.- But I like...
0:24:21 > 0:24:24£100 is a very nice, round number.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- I'll tell you what I'll do for that £100.- £100.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- For the £100 cash, I shall put the coconut in for you.- Oh...
0:24:30 > 0:24:33I should think that would make you a very good deal.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- That sounds very, very kind. - You are very nice.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Thank you very much, I've had a lovely time in here.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Now I better pay you some cash, for your goods.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Cor, talk about going for a song.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44- Bye-bye.- Bye-bye.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48While Catherine's being serenaded, David's grabbed the Mini
0:24:48 > 0:24:50and motored on,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53travelling west, back into Somerset, and the village
0:24:53 > 0:24:54of Wraxall...
0:24:56 > 0:25:00..to visit Tyntesfield, possibly the most perfectly-preserved
0:25:00 > 0:25:05Gothic revival mansion in Britain. Amazing, isn't it?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07The creation of the Gibbs family.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10When the last owner died in 2001, the house and contents
0:25:10 > 0:25:13were about to be sold off, until a campaign and public appeal
0:25:13 > 0:25:17raised many millions, to save Tyntesfield for the nation.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Ruth.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- Hi, there. - Hello. Hello, David Harper.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Welcome to Tyntesfield.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Thank you very much. What an entrance, it's fantastic.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26- Come on in.- I'm dying to see.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31The family fortune behind all this was accumulated
0:25:31 > 0:25:34by one William Gibbs.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I say!
0:25:36 > 0:25:38William bought the house in 1843 and, 20 years later,
0:25:38 > 0:25:43set about creating the Victorian extravaganza we can see today.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I mean, it's high Gothic revival,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- nothing like the refinement of the Georgian period.- No.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- He's a fashionmonger, isn't he? - Yeah.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53He's got the fashionable architecture
0:25:53 > 0:25:56and probably a lot of the furnishings, too.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58William came from a trading family
0:25:58 > 0:26:01but became one of the richest men in England,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03thanks to a very unusual source of wealth.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09He made his money by importing bird droppings.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12At the time, farmers were trying to enrich the soil, you know,
0:26:12 > 0:26:17encourage crops and guano proved to be the thing.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18And this was built?
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- From bird poo. - On bird poo. Excellent!
0:26:22 > 0:26:24So this is William, a real grafter.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- This is first-generation grafting. - Yeah, yeah.- The second generation?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30The second generation, that's Anthony.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32He's hunting, fishing, shooting,
0:26:32 > 0:26:33- Real money here?- Yeah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35When the guano was all gone,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38the Gibbs family became merchant bankers
0:26:38 > 0:26:42and when Anthony inherited Tyntesfield,
0:26:42 > 0:26:43he kept up the home improvements.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- He was the chap that introduced electricity into the house.- Oh!
0:26:46 > 0:26:49In fact, you can see, just by the fireplace there,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52hidden by the little wooden door,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55one of the original switches.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57So he hid the switches away? That's very clever.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01When he first installed the electricity, he stayed
0:27:01 > 0:27:04in the house all by himself, just in case anything went wrong.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08But strangely, the 20th century never really intruded here
0:27:08 > 0:27:11and Tyntesfield became stuck in a time warp.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14This is William's grandson, George, who became an MP
0:27:14 > 0:27:17and then Baron Wraxall.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21His son, Richard, kept things exactly the way they were
0:27:21 > 0:27:25but when he died, without an heir, the house was almost lost.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Now, though, thanks to the biggest restoration the National Trust
0:27:29 > 0:27:33has ever tackled, we can all enjoy Tyntesfield.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- You're almost the fifth generation now, aren't you?- I think we are.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Lay claim to it.- We all are.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Staff and volunteers. We all are and we love it here.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47While David's been finding out
0:27:47 > 0:27:49exactly where guano comes from,
0:27:49 > 0:27:54Catherine's coasted to the coast and the Victorian resort of Clevedon.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58John Betjeman described Clevedon Pier as
0:27:58 > 0:28:01"the most beautiful in England", and the Poet Laureate
0:28:01 > 0:28:05was a supporter of the campaign to restore the structure,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08after it collapsed under stress testing in 1970.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Thank goodness they succeeded,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12because Clevedon, without it's landmark, would be a sorry place.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Last shop, last few pounds left.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19This is my last chance.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- Hello!- Hello!
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- Might you be Julia? - Yes, that's right.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Hello, Julia, across the pottery and glass.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Wow, what a shop! And I come with pounds and pennies.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- Down to pence!- Which is not what you want to hear,
0:28:40 > 0:28:43and I have to spend every last pence in your shop.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Well, I'm not sure that the prospect of Catherine renewing her part
0:28:47 > 0:28:51of the pirate pact will quicken Julia's pulse much,
0:28:51 > 0:28:55especially as she actually only has £25.94 left.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Well, there's a couple of pieces that I'm drawn towards.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03Firstly, this.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Now, this is very sweet.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07An ashtray, a little pin tray,
0:29:07 > 0:29:101900-1910.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11This is made from copper
0:29:11 > 0:29:15and it's been hammered, to create this little pattern around here,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17almost like bubbles.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20What I would like to see, when I turn this over,
0:29:20 > 0:29:23is "Newlyn" stamped on it,
0:29:24 > 0:29:28but it's not. But I think...
0:29:28 > 0:29:30I would almost put money on it,
0:29:30 > 0:29:31that this is Newlyn.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33In the late 19th century,
0:29:33 > 0:29:37many Cornish fishermen, seeking a more reliable form of employment,
0:29:37 > 0:29:39retrained to work in copper.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43This chimed with the ideas of the Arts and Crafts movement
0:29:43 > 0:29:45and produced many desirable items.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47(It's got £69 on it.)
0:29:47 > 0:29:50(I don't have £69.)
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Would that be anywhere near...?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Let me have a look.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56(I like that.)
0:29:56 > 0:29:58I would need 40 on that.
0:29:58 > 0:29:59CATHERINE WHIMPERS
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Oh, dear.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04That's a bit of a gap. Keep looking, Catherine.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Not those, though.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11Gorgeous.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Absolutely gorgeous.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Tudric pewter vases.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Put it back, Catherine.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19You can't afford it, love.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Art Nouveau.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Wonderful. Very stylised,
0:30:24 > 0:30:26very simple, flower heads on the top.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27All made from pewter.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Absolutely...
0:30:30 > 0:30:31perfect.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35Tudric was the brand name for the Art Nouveau pewter
0:30:35 > 0:30:37designed for Liberty's shop.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40It was known as "poor man's silver", but no more.
0:30:40 > 0:30:48And I know that I have nowhere near the funds to pay for these.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Come on now, apply yourself.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Oh!
0:30:56 > 0:30:58She's back at the cabinet.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Jolly pretty.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I think I see what's happening here.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07It's pretty, it's very pretty.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10And I think the problem is, when you come into a shop
0:31:10 > 0:31:12and you see something you really like,
0:31:12 > 0:31:16everything else doesn't come up to that level.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Do you know what I mean?
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Well, I think that can probably be £25.94.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26- 94 pence.- Could it?- Yes. - That would be jolly kind.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- You're welcome. - It's been absolutely lovely.- Phew!
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Well done, Julia, for relieving Catherine of those last few pounds.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Now let's get down to the pier and see what's on show.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- Yeah!- Oooh!
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Nice, yes. It's a butter churner.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- I'm loving it. - A super, super butter churner.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Thank you. So well made and it just works beautifully.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51- Love it. - Country sale, I'm thinking.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- Country... Oh, yeah!- Devon. - You've got a good idea there.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57She's not keen on those glasses, though.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- They don't do an awful lot for me, I'll be honest with you.- OK.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Cheers(!)
0:32:02 > 0:32:04I'm very excited about that.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07That's absolutely beautiful. Love that sort of speckled finish.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08Isn't that gorgeous?
0:32:08 > 0:32:09What about his little table?
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- Staying with China.- Yeah.- It's a wine table or a jardiniere stand.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15How much did you pay for that?
0:32:15 > 0:32:17£33 and 24p.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- You robbed her. - Do you think I did?- Yes.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Ten pieces of vintage costume jewellery
0:32:24 > 0:32:25in a nice old box.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28There's no reason why that shouldn't do well.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- This time...- Weh-hey! - ..you could make money.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32Let's move on to you.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- Are you ready?- No shoes, Catherine.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Oh, yes, heels get stuck in the gaps, I suppose.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Oh! Ooo!
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Oh.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Now, we do know he's got a soft spot for a toy.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45I've done very well with these things in sale, for clients.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Astonishingly well.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49So we have that, then we have...
0:32:49 > 0:32:50- Ohhh!- ..this little bus.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51I'm liking that.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54I'm not in love with these, I've got to tell you.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Doesn't do anything for me. Did that come for free?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- No!!- What?
0:32:59 > 0:33:02And they were getting on so well!
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Am I missing something here?
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- It's Arts and Crafts and it's in the style of Newlyn.- OK.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Sorry. It just looked like a bit of 1930s, '50s tat.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15- Oh, thank you SO much(!) - No, it did, but it doesn't now.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17I hope I don't drop it down... Oh, my gosh!
0:33:17 > 0:33:19SHE SQUEALS I would have killed you.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Ooh, Catherine, that would have been awful!- Right.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25One question -
0:33:25 > 0:33:28have you got any money...
0:33:28 > 0:33:29left?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32No! I spent it all!
0:33:32 > 0:33:33Yay!
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Thank goodness for that. You're a pirate.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- Oooh-arrrrr!- Oooh-arrrrr!
0:33:39 > 0:33:42So, what do they REALLY think?
0:33:42 > 0:33:45I love the tin bus,
0:33:45 > 0:33:50but the coconut is potentially a flier.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52The only objects I don't like -
0:33:52 > 0:33:54I think they're beastly, positively revolting -
0:33:54 > 0:33:56the weights.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59He's done himself proud.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02He has bought...brilliantly.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04I love the butter churner
0:34:04 > 0:34:07and I think that jade is delicious.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08Well done, David.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Not a bad effort.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Let's go!
0:34:13 > 0:34:16After beginning in Bath, today's leg, and indeed the whole trip,
0:34:16 > 0:34:19will finally be settled in Seaton, Devon.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Oooh-arrrr!- Oooh-arrrr!
0:34:22 > 0:34:23Ah, pirates, of course.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Well, Catherine,
0:34:27 > 0:34:31I'm pleased to announce that I can now officially
0:34:31 > 0:34:34welcome you into the pirate brotherhood.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36I feel that I'm worthy of my hat now.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- You have earned that hat.- I have,
0:34:38 > 0:34:42- because I did follow the pirate pact. - You did - eventually.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45# It's your money that we want And your money we shall have.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49I'm pretty sure they'll have seen a bit of piracy
0:34:49 > 0:34:51on the South Devon coast, over the centuries.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Smuggling, certainly.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Before Seaton became a resort, that is.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57It's beautiful!
0:35:01 > 0:35:05It's a collectors' sale at Lyme Bay Auctions today,
0:35:05 > 0:35:08which should suit the things that Catherine and David have bought.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Let's hear what our auctioneer, Kevin Frost, thinks of them.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14I particularly like the butter churn.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15I think that might do quite well.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20And also the green tin bus may also do quite well.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23But the jade glass, the goblet, I've never seen anything like it before.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Very interesting item.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29Ha! David started out with just £149.24
0:35:29 > 0:35:32and, like a good pirate, he spent it all, on five auction lots.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- You've had such a good deal! - You are gorgeous!
0:35:36 > 0:35:37Ha-ha!
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Catherine began with £185.94
0:35:39 > 0:35:42and she's done the same, but on six auction lots.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44# Before the night was through... #
0:35:44 > 0:35:45Go steady, my love!
0:35:45 > 0:35:47All right, Seaton?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49The two of them are desperate.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Here we are, come on. Come on, everybody,
0:35:52 > 0:35:53get fired up, get excited.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Lordy, not a chance here!
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Kicking off with Catherine's biscuit jars, look.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02£10, there.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- Come on.- 12.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05£12.
0:36:05 > 0:36:0614?
0:36:06 > 0:36:0716?
0:36:07 > 0:36:08£16...
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Ouch!
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Crumbs!
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Just a small loss, really.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- For us, that's brilliant. - We're good.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19How about James the Engine?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Could he make Catherine a really useful profit?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Ten, 12, 14?
0:36:24 > 0:36:2716. 18. 20.
0:36:27 > 0:36:2820.
0:36:28 > 0:36:3022. 25.
0:36:30 > 0:36:3128.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34£25...
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39I think it's love.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43Oh, dear, that's forced Catherine off the rails.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45That was such a lovely thing.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Perhaps buses really can replace trains.
0:36:49 > 0:36:5270? 60?
0:36:52 > 0:36:53£40, anywhere?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Got to be worth £40, surely?
0:36:55 > 0:36:5640?
0:36:56 > 0:36:59It's got to be worth £40.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00On the phone.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Someone's on the phone!
0:37:03 > 0:37:05£40. In the room, at 40.
0:37:05 > 0:37:0645...
0:37:08 > 0:37:0945.
0:37:09 > 0:37:1050.
0:37:10 > 0:37:1155.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1455. 60.
0:37:14 > 0:37:1665.
0:37:16 > 0:37:1770.
0:37:17 > 0:37:1880.
0:37:18 > 0:37:1985.
0:37:19 > 0:37:2190? £85.
0:37:21 > 0:37:2390 anywhere?
0:37:23 > 0:37:24£85...
0:37:24 > 0:37:27It looks like Catherine's back on the road!
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Well done, well done!
0:37:29 > 0:37:31You made some money!
0:37:31 > 0:37:32That's brilliant. Well done.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Now for David's bargain pile of jewellery.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36£30 for it, then.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39All over the place. 30. 32.
0:37:39 > 0:37:4035. 38.
0:37:40 > 0:37:4240.
0:37:42 > 0:37:4345.
0:37:43 > 0:37:4450.
0:37:44 > 0:37:4555. 60.
0:37:45 > 0:37:4665.
0:37:46 > 0:37:4770.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Oh, my word!
0:37:49 > 0:37:51£65...
0:37:51 > 0:37:52Brilliant!
0:37:52 > 0:37:53That was very good.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55A sparkling start.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Finally, we have profit.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59How long has that taken?
0:37:59 > 0:38:00About 700 miles?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Ohhh!
0:38:02 > 0:38:06Apparently this tray isn't really Newlyn, but it's nice.
