0:00:02 > 0:00:06It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each...
0:00:06 > 0:00:11- I love that. - ..a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14- Yippee!- It's a good job I like you.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23- There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.- I'm getting wet!
0:00:23 > 0:00:28So will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- How much did you make? - About a couple of quid.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:42Experts Philip Serrell and Thomas Plant are back on the open road for the final leg of an epic road trip,
0:00:42 > 0:00:47whizzing along in their oh, so retro 1975 Triumph Stag,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49as they reflect on their fortunes so far.
0:00:49 > 0:00:55I've worked it out. I think I've earned about 4p an hour. I've done rather well(!)
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Yeah, I've probably only gone up to 40p an hour, but we've ebbed and flowed, ebbed and flowed.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Sadly, Philip has ebbed a bit more than he's flowed. Even with almost 30 years' experience,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08he can still make a boo-boo with a canoe.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- I did tell you 50 quid? That's a big "ouch", isn't it?- A big "ouch".
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- And who could forget his vaulting horse fiasco?- £30...- No.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Ouch!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Not that our Thomas has done any better.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Ouch! Ouch!
0:01:25 > 0:01:30They are more alike than they realise, like a pair of psychic twins, separated by only £50.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- AS TOMMY COOPER: - Not like that. It's like that.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Wrong sort of hat.
0:01:35 > 0:01:42From his initial £200, Philip now has £204.68 to spend on today's shopping.
0:01:42 > 0:01:49Thomas has really grown his £200 which means that he starts today with £252.20.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Well done, boy. The route for the week takes our intrepid road trippers across land and sea
0:01:54 > 0:01:57from Samlesbury in Lancashire to the Isle of Man
0:01:57 > 0:02:01and back to the final destination of Greenwich, almost 700 miles away.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Wow! But today's trip begins in Risby before ending up at auction in Greenwich.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14Founded around the 10th century, Risby is a picturesque Suffolk village,
0:02:14 > 0:02:19home to St Giles' Church, a flint construction notable for its East Anglian round tower.
0:02:19 > 0:02:26Rather conveniently, it's also home to the Risby Barn Antique Centre, giving Philip a case of deja vu.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Thomas, it's all coming back to me. I've been here before.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- You've been everywhere, Philip. - I've been here before.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- That could give him an unfair advantage.- That could give me an unfair advantage.- Told you so.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- Why?- Because I should know what's in each place, but I can't remember.
0:02:43 > 0:02:49- You can't remember what you had for breakfast!- Where do you want to go?- I'll go over there.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- I'll look in here.- See you later. - Worst of luck.- Best of luck.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Isn't he sweet, Thomas? The centre has several antique emporiums.
0:02:56 > 0:03:02Philip has bagged Risby Barn Antiques, housing 34 dealers and run by owner Richard Martin.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04No, that's not him. That is.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- Good to see you again.- Last time I was here, I tried to buy a pulpit, didn't I?- You did indeed.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- You hadn't got the money with you. - No, I never have. And it's got no better!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Enough of the sob stories, Philip. Just get on with it!
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I like that lot.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25You've got it down as a "sycamore powder container".
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Do you know what it does? - Powdering your wig?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32No, it's called a finger carrot.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34In the 19th century, ladies had long gloves.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39You put talcum powder in there, then you put that down the finger of the glove
0:03:39 > 0:03:42and you shake talcum powder into it,
0:03:42 > 0:03:47then because they're very tight leather, the lady can pull the glove on easier.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53It's a finger carrot. At auction, it's 40 to 60 quid, so I've got to get it for 35 quid or thereabouts.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Can we put that by?- Yes. - We'll see where we can go.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01A finger carrot, eh? Gosh! At £70, you'll need to dig deep for that one.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Don't stop there, Phil. What else have you found? Something nutty?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Those are 1750s, brass hazelnut crackers.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12And when I started in this game, these would have been probably...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Fairly new?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Between £100 and £150.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22And now you can't sell 'em. They're like 15 quid.
0:04:22 > 0:04:28- Yeah.- And it's just... You've got £28 on. It's just a complete nonsense, isn't it?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31You've got these which are brass
0:04:31 > 0:04:35and you've got those which are cut steel.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41- What can you do on the finger carrot? Can you do me 35 quid?- I was hoping to squeeze you for 40 on it.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46I think the auction estimate for that is £40 to £60. If it makes 40, I've got to pay commission.
0:04:46 > 0:04:52The commission for that is seven quid. These things have got to be between £5 and £10 each.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54OK, 35 on the finger...
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I'd give you 40 quid for the two.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00OK, special offer for today.
0:05:00 > 0:05:0340 quid for the two, but I don't know which one I want.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09- Have a little think.- I'll continue to look round. Thank you. You've been very good to me.- No problem.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14That is a lovely old thing.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18But...
0:05:21 > 0:05:23The hinge is broken. It's 85 quid.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26That wants to be £30.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31This is like... It's not leather at all, is it? It's cardboard.
0:05:31 > 0:05:37Yes, it's from the sort of 1920s when they started to move away from leather.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40What's the very, very, very best on that?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43You'll want it for a fiver probably, knowing you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I don't want to insult you.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I see that as another 40 to 60 quid.
0:05:48 > 0:05:54- I was going to come out and say 50. - Can I think about that as well? - Yes, certainly.
0:05:54 > 0:06:01Thomas, meanwhile, has been rooting round in one of the other nearby antiques shops, Past And Present.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03It looks like it's got a few nicks.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Yeah, a few little nicks here from being dropped.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09A stunning piece of glass.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13The purity of the glass is just so good.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It's by Kosta Boda.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18They had a coding system on the base of each vase.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23LH and you've got 1444 over 2 something.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28But the most important thing in all of that is the L and the H. That stands for Vicke Lindstrand.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Lindstrand was a seminal designer for Kosta Boda,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36a company that has been producing glass in Sweden since 1742.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41It's quite frankly the best glass in the world, if you want my honest opinion.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Good for you, Thomas. It looks like he's found his first item. Philip is going for the hat-trick.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I definitely want that because I love that
0:06:49 > 0:06:54and out of these two little nutcrackers, I think those are the nicest.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Can you do...80 quid the lot?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- OK, we'll go with that.- You're a gentleman. I'll get some money out.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Dust your wallet off! Not a bad start for the day.
0:07:06 > 0:07:12That's the finger carrot for £35, the faux leather trunk for £40 and the nutcrackers for a fiver,
0:07:12 > 0:07:16but if you want to get ahead, Philip, you'd better get a hat.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I wonder what Tom's up to? You can never trust him.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21You're a fine one to talk. Ooh!
0:07:21 > 0:07:26It sounds really wrong what I'm about to say, but I fancy buying a bit of flesh today.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Grow up, Thomas! At £165, she's a lady of class and distinction.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Really wrong, but a Deco figure, you know, a Deco figure.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40"Depose" which is good, so it's period.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44She's a nice figure. Hopefully, it can be a good price.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Time to call in proprietor Joe Aldridge to see
0:07:47 > 0:07:52if there's a deal to be done on the Kosta Boda vase and the Art Deco figure.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56I'll do you that at 120. No real damage which is unusual.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- I like the Boda. What can the Boda be?- I'll sell you that for £40.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03We can't sort of do 120 for the two?
0:08:03 > 0:08:09- That's painful.- I know it's painful, but it's only a question. You can say "yay" or "nay".
0:08:09 > 0:08:12That... I could do you the two for 150.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16And you've got two quality items.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21So, between 120 and 150, is there a figure we could meet at like 130?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Do me 140 then, but that's it.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- 135?- 140.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Look, this started off at 165!
0:08:30 > 0:08:35140, you've got a deal. Good man. You've been a really good man. That's brilliant.
0:08:35 > 0:08:41That's the vase and the Art Deco figure in the bag. Let's hope they're well wrapped, baby.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Nearby, Philip has found the 2 Tinkers antique shop, run by dealer Karen Funston.
0:08:46 > 0:08:53And it doesn't take too long for him to find his next purchase, a butcher's block, don't you know?
0:08:53 > 0:08:59- What do you reckon?- I think they're lovely and I want to buy one off you. Which sells worst?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Well, I would say the small one.
0:09:02 > 0:09:08- Sells worst?- Sells worst, yeah. - Because you can make those into coffee tables?- Yeah.- Right.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11OK... But I've got to be mean.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Nothing new there then!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I'll give you 15 quid for it.
0:09:16 > 0:09:1825.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22I'll give you 20 quid and that's me finished, honest.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- OK.- 20 quid?- 20 quid. Deal.- Oh, you're an angel. Thank you so much.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I'd better get some money out. Oh, Lord!
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much indeed. What the hell am I going to do with that?
0:09:35 > 0:09:39You could take it to auction. I think that's the idea!
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Thomas!
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- How are you getting on?- All right. - Having fun?- I've spent some money. - Real money?- Yeah.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50- Three figures.- £1.80?- Don't be so naughty. What have you been buying?
0:09:50 > 0:09:56- I can tell you now that I think your lot will make probably 300 to 500.- No.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- It will.- I can tell you now that the things you've bought will make 1,000...- I'm going.
0:10:01 > 0:10:08And he's gone. From Risby, our experts just about fall into Bury St Edmunds some four miles away
0:10:08 > 0:10:11where Thomas is off to make a show of himself.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Lovingly restored in 2005 at a cost of £5.3 million,
0:10:15 > 0:10:21the Theatre Royal is one of the finest and oldest surviving examples of a Georgian theatre to be found.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Thomas has come along to meet Julia Salmon.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- Welcome to the Theatre Royal. I'm Julia, a Heritage Guide.- Brilliant.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33Would you like to come through to see the auditorium or to have a look here?
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- No, let's look at the auditorium. That's all about the theatre. - OK. Come this way.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41The theatre was built in 1819 by renowned designer, William Wilkins.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Back then, it would only have been open at certain times of the year
0:10:45 > 0:10:50which meant tickets would have been at a premium and the actors played to packed houses.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Quite literally.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Wow, Julia! It's quite small, isn't it?
0:10:55 > 0:11:01It's a very intimate theatre. When it was built originally, it was for 780 people.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- Seven hundred...?- And eighty. - In this space?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Yeah.- It already feels cramped with me and you.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- You'd have been shoulder to shoulder, sort of head space only.- Stinky?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Very stinky.- Oh!- And very smoky.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22People's personal hygiene was not wonderful at that time, even as a member of the upper classes.
0:11:22 > 0:11:29Ah, yes, the roar of the grease paint, the smell of the crowd. Is that the right way round?
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Paint me a picture, Julia, of 1819, 1820,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38the theatre, best night, what was performed, what went on?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41The thing about the audiences coming to the theatre
0:11:41 > 0:11:46was it was, certainly for the lower classes and even the middle classes, quite expensive.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51It would have cost you a shilling for a seat upstairs, two shillings in that middle area
0:11:51 > 0:11:54or four shillings for a seat in here.
0:11:54 > 0:12:01A shilling was about equivalent to £50. That was a phenomenal outlay, so they really expected value for money.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05If you were in the gallery upstairs and you didn't like what you saw,
0:12:05 > 0:12:10you brought along your rotten vegetables and fruit and tankards of ale and they did throw them.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14They did shout out and they were very bawdy as an audience.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18The theatre has a long-standing tradition of performing new works.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23In 1892, it staged the world premiere of Charley's Aunt by Brandon Thomas.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28Here's another Thomas making his stage debut. Where did I put my rotten tomatoes?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Follow me through the acting door here...
0:12:31 > 0:12:33onto the forestage.
0:12:33 > 0:12:39- The forestage?- Yes, the forestage is very specifically Georgian.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44So your forestage is your bit in front of this archway. It's all this bit forwards.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Very involved, aren't you, with your audience?
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- Oh, yes.- Very intimate. You could really get into them and sort of...
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- You get feedback. There's no doubt about that.- I bet you do.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59If it's going well, you get all of that lovely response.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02If it's going badly, you can see the whites of their eyes
0:13:02 > 0:13:07and you can get hit nicely by things being lobbed from the gallery.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- I admire the simplicity of what I'm looking at in front of me.- Hmm.
0:13:11 > 0:13:17It is very Regency. It's very ordered and restrained in its look.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Most theatres you go to are so glitzy, but this is rather lovely.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26Even down to the colour scheme, it's also very deliberate.
0:13:26 > 0:13:32That's been restored back to its original setting, so he was thinking again of the Greek amphitheatre
0:13:32 > 0:13:36where you've got the mock stone-coloured archways and pillars.
0:13:36 > 0:13:42Imagine you're in Sicily and you've got the open sky. He did a Suffolk sky, which is why we need a ceiling.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47You couldn't have an open-air Greek theatre, but that was the sense he wanted to create.
0:13:47 > 0:13:53So it's very much one of those places where you can kind of taste and feel it. That was the idea.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58- I think this has renewed my interest.- Jolly good. - Thank you very much.
0:13:58 > 0:14:04- You're very welcome.- I've enjoyed myself and I've felt honoured to be on the stage.- You're very welcome.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06I could get used to this.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09As Thomas contemplates a career in the theatre,
0:14:09 > 0:14:14the lights go down on Act One of today's road trip. Night-night, chaps.
0:14:14 > 0:14:20A brand-new morning finds our experts hitting the trail for one final day of shopping,
0:14:20 > 0:14:25signalling an end to Thomas and Philip's travelling bromance. Boo-hoo!
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- Philip, will you miss me?- Yeah, I will, Thomas, like haemorrhoids.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I knew you'd come out with something caustic.
0:14:31 > 0:14:37Caustic? Just disgusting! So far, Philip Serrell has spent £100 on four items - the butcher's block,
0:14:37 > 0:14:42the faux leather trunk and the finger carrot which he's paired with the nutcrackers,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45leaving him with £104.68 for the day ahead.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Thomas Plant, on the other hand, has spent £140 on two lots -
0:14:49 > 0:14:53the rare Art Deco figure and the Kosta Boda glass vase,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56leaving him with £112.20 to play with.
0:14:58 > 0:15:04In order to continue their spending spree, our experts are heading west from Bury St Edmunds to Cambridge.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Famous university town and administrative centre of the county of Cambridgeshire,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14the city of Cambridge lies on the River Cam
0:15:14 > 0:15:18and if our boys are taking a punt, there's no better place to do it.
0:15:18 > 0:15:24Thomas's first shop is the Cambridge Antiques Centre run by Stephen Hunt
0:15:24 > 0:15:29- where it's straight down to business.- These are fun. These are mother-of-pearl.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32And they're gaming counters. They're Chinese.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38They become really, really valuable when, say, for example, these ones here,
0:15:38 > 0:15:44the centre has the monogram of the family who have had them commissioned.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Chinese gaming counters arrived in the UK in the 18th century.
0:15:48 > 0:15:54They were used in a variety of card games, each design denoting a different value, like poker chips.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57What have these gaming counters got to be?
0:15:57 > 0:16:02On a wet and windy day, um, £20?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Quite rich. I was sort of... - Oh, it's not rich.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- Well, it is, it is. - If I can be helpful...
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Going below £10, is that going to be crucifying them?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- I think so.- Can we say 10?
0:16:15 > 0:16:20- I think I'd like to settle on 10.- 10? - Yeah. That would be good, yes.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24It's a good start, but he's also got his beady eye on something else.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28This is a leather telescope, possibly military, naval,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31with the leather, this brown sort of leather.
0:16:31 > 0:16:38And it does actually work. I can actually see the chimney pots over there, if not a bit dirty.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42As we're selling in Greenwich near the Naval College,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45it is the thing to buy.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50Aye-aye, Captain Thomas. If only you had the treasure map to go with it. Whoa! What do you know?
0:16:50 > 0:16:55"Hanno explores the west coast of Africa.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00"Eric the Red discovers Greenland in 984."
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Oh, so these are all the trips. - Yeah.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08So this is proving that the world wasn't discovered by Christopher Columbus.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- That's quite a nice travel map. It's rather lovely.- Good fun.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Yeah.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I really like The Great Discoveries.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17OK.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19And I really like the telescope.
0:17:19 > 0:17:25- Right. They would go together nicely. - They look really nice together.- OK.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29I was looking for about 35 on the telescope
0:17:29 > 0:17:32and 25 on The Great Discoveries.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Yeah, I haven't got that, to be candid.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41- Really cheeky...- Yeah. - Can I give you 20 for the telescope and the picture?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44That's really cheeky, Tom.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- Yes, it'll save me cleaning it.- £30. - Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:17:54 > 0:18:01Elsewhere in Cambridge, Philip is still shopping, but why on earth is he going into an off-licence?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04What's the old codger up to?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- I'd better introduce myself. I'm Philip.- I'm James.- Good to see you.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- I'd like a malt whisky. - We've got about 350 whiskies.
0:18:12 > 0:18:18- What's the dearest? - The dearest is about 215, but we have had them over 300, 400...
0:18:18 > 0:18:23- For a bottle of Scotch?- Yeah. - That'd be a really expensive hangover.- It would be.
0:18:23 > 0:18:30I see where he's going with this. A good whisky can be an investment, often increasing in value with age.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Probably my favourite malt.- Right.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35They produce their standard 10-year-olds
0:18:35 > 0:18:39in the smallest distillery on mainland Scotland in Pitlochry.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Three people work there. One chap's called Ramsbottom.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46I'm not sure whether he still works there, but we love saying that.
0:18:46 > 0:18:53They take their normal 10-year-old and pop it into a different cask for different vintages
0:18:53 > 0:18:58and in this case, it's spent time in a Sauternes cask, which is a sweet wine from Bordeaux.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Is it going to come to between 25 and 30 quid?
0:19:01 > 0:19:07Probably not. I could see what I could do on it, but we're probably talking more around the 40 mark.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- You can't do 32 quid? - 35 would be the lowest I could go.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- It's giving you my staff discount. - Does that mean I can work here?- 25%.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17If you worked here, you'd get that.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22You'd be looking at 37.50, so I'm doing you a favour in giving you another 2.50 off.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- 35 quid.- 35 quid I can do.
0:19:24 > 0:19:30At 12 years old, it's an antique of sorts. It's spiritual, warming, a liquid asset.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Thomas has also gone off-piste. He's in the Campkins Camera Centre. Oh, dear!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- Thomas.- Hi. Robin.
0:19:37 > 0:19:43We're filming the Antiques Road Trip which means I've got to buy things and then sell them at auction
0:19:43 > 0:19:46and I've noticed you have quite a few vintage cameras.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51- What would you recommend? - Lubitel.- Lubitel. - We have it modestly priced at £80.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54It's a piece of Cold War history.
0:19:54 > 0:20:00It was far easier to just take something from the West, copy it. It was just cheaper.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- What date is this? 1960s? - Well, the first two digits would tell us the year.- Right, OK.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Not always reliable, but '84, a good year.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14The beauty of this is although it's very pretty to look at, it's something usable
0:20:14 > 0:20:18because this takes a film called 120 which is actually an available film.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23This is an awkward question for a shop, but what can be done on that price? Anything?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Let's try £70.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27OK, £70.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30That's a good discount. That's a good 10%.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Would you be happy and meet me at 60?
0:20:34 > 0:20:3665.
0:20:37 > 0:20:3965...
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- You've got a deal.- Excellent. - It's a real pleasure. Thank you.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Let's hope he doesn't regret that snap decision. Ha!
0:20:49 > 0:20:55With almost £70 still to spend, Philip's next port of call is the Cambridge Antiques Centre
0:20:55 > 0:20:58where Thomas bought the mother-of-pearl gaming counters
0:20:58 > 0:21:02and as usual, he's starting with a sob story. Here we go.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- I'm £50 behind Thomas at the moment. - I know.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Have you got any fresh stock in?
0:21:07 > 0:21:12I've got some stuff down here which I brought in this morning and I haven't unpacked yet.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15You can have a browse through that.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I can't remember what's in there.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Glassware, you've got lots of glassware.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- Isn't that just a bit of fun? - Peter Pan.- Yeah.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- "The boy who never grew up." I've been accused of that.- Me too.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Yeah, but do you believe in fairies?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- Oh, yeah.- That's nice.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39That shape, I would say it's about 1820.
0:21:39 > 0:21:45- Really?- I would think that's probably continental, hand-painted and not worth a great deal of money.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47It rarely is when YOU'RE shopping.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51It's like all this Wedgwood and Goss as well. Interesting.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54That's really sweet.
0:21:55 > 0:22:01- It's not the pots that interest me. These.- Oh, the little fish. - I think they're quite fun.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05That's exactly what Thomas thought. Great minds, eh?
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- I think the whole lot's worth a tenner.- Oh, Philip.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- What about £15 the lot? - No, I think it's too much.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16I think they'll sell for 15-25 quid.
0:22:16 > 0:22:22- I think you'll get a bit more than that.- That's what every dealer has said to me.- Oh, crikey.
0:22:22 > 0:22:28There was a man who sold me a canoe and another man who sold me a vaulting horse
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- and they were all going to do wonderfully well.- And they didn't.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Oh, diddums!
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- £12 the lot.- Go on.- Are you interested in the coffee can?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Moderately, but not specifically.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Well...
0:22:45 > 0:22:51- I'd like you to have that.- Are you sure?- And all of it for...£15.
0:22:51 > 0:22:57- Throw in the Peter Pan one for 15 quid.- Done.- You're a gent. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Have I been done?- You haven't.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Those old heartstrings will be worn out with all Philip's pulling.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- Thank you very much.- You're welcome. - See you soon.- Bye!
0:23:09 > 0:23:17The last shop of the day is The Hive, run by Bill Deadman. Thomas has just £17.20 to spend.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21That's quite decorative. A nice plant pot with enamel.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I don't know how old it is. Persian or Indian?
0:23:26 > 0:23:30- I'd have thought Indian. - A lot of work has gone into that.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35- I wonder if there's profit in it. What can this one be?- 22?
0:23:35 > 0:23:40- I haven't got that. - How far apart on it are we, then?
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- About two metres. - I'm looking at sort of half that.
0:23:44 > 0:23:50- And a bit more. Obviously...- No, I can't. - Not half as in 22, but as in 12.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- I've only got a bit more than that. - What is he gibbering on about?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- How does 18 sound?- 15 for this.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02- Go on, then. Deal done. - A scholar. A star.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04£15.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09- That's it. That's my buying done. - OK.- For this year. Done. Kaput.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15Or is it? You can almost hear the cogs turning as our Thomas attempts some mental arithmetic.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Sums were never his strong point.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I think I've got £2 left.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23What can I find you for £2, then?
0:24:25 > 0:24:30- The nutcrackers.- A nice pair. - Same idea as Philip.
0:24:30 > 0:24:36- I've got £2.20.- You're not going to get nothing for 20p. So you'll give me a drink?- I'll give you 20p.
0:24:36 > 0:24:42Oh, he's all heart. One out, one in and Philip is on the lookout for another whisky-related item
0:24:42 > 0:24:46to add a bit of vintage to that modern bottle of Scotch.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51I have a very mean budget. Can I buy these for about a fiver?
0:24:51 > 0:24:57- That's the one I'd like. - No, you're not going to buy that, I'm afraid.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01That's got no trade on it as well, but...
0:25:02 > 0:25:08- I'll do it for six. - Can you do that one for six?- No. - What's the best you can do?- 12.
0:25:08 > 0:25:15- It's unusual. Really unusual. - Yeah, but they're both plated and they're not the main item.
0:25:16 > 0:25:22See those, that's just a pressed-out bit of plate, isn't it?
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- It is, but... - That one's lovely. I like that one.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31- But I don't think I can get down to your price.- That's a no-no. - It is really.
0:25:31 > 0:25:37- How about £4?- I'll give you two quid. - Three. That's it. - Go on. You're a gentleman.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42And you're a bandit. Having finished his looting in Cambridge,
0:25:42 > 0:25:48- Philip is galloping off to Luton for a trip back in time. - # Oh, the Deadwood stage... #
0:25:48 > 0:25:53The Stockwood Discovery Centre is home to the Mossman carriage collection,
0:25:53 > 0:25:59the largest private collection of horse-drawn vehicles in the UK. Philip meets Philippa Backer.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05- Hi. Philip. - Hello there. Nice to meet you. Welcome to the Mossman collection.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10Born in 1908, George Mossman was a local man. A butcher by trade,
0:26:10 > 0:26:15he collected, restored and constructed carriages for 50 years.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19His incredible passion has provided a lasting legacy for all to see.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- This is just an awesome collection. - It is spectacular, yes.
0:26:23 > 0:26:29What we have here is a good variety of examples of horse-drawn vehicles
0:26:29 > 0:26:33from your trade vehicles such as the baker's van,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35right through to grand coaches.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39- How many carriages have you got? - We've got about 60 on display.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44- And they were all his? - About 54 came from George Mossman. We had a few already.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- My granddad had a carriage business. - Oh, really?- Yep.
0:26:48 > 0:26:55He just felt the motor car was coming in, so no one was ever going to use horse-drawn vehicles.
0:26:55 > 0:27:01- And so he burnt them all.- It's almost opposite to George Mossman, who realised they were disappearing
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- and decided to rescue them. - Mr Mossman was a bit more astute!
0:27:05 > 0:27:11Indeed he was. Mossman provided carriages for the Queen's Coronation procession in 1953,
0:27:11 > 0:27:17but they weren't just for the nobility. At the turn of the last century, carriages were commonplace.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22- That's for ladies. It dates from when?- This is late 1800s.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27- Why is that for ladies and that for gentlemen?- They're quite different.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32- If you have a look at this one, it has a low-slung body. - I know how it feels!
0:27:32 > 0:27:37It would be easier for a lady to get in and out of it in a graceful way.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42It also had a lower centre of gravity so it was a safer ride.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47Inside, there's plenty of room for the lady's voluminous dress, which she'd have worn.
0:27:47 > 0:27:53So that's the lady's. And this is the gentleman's. It's more racy.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57This is called the spider phaeton. This is a more speedy vehicle.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01It was quite well-known for making sharp turns,
0:28:01 > 0:28:06which meant it was more likely to tip up. It was quite dangerous. It had a reputation.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09But that made it more attractive.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13From the butcher, the baker and even the undertaker,
0:28:13 > 0:28:18everyone relied on horsepower. A case of only foals and hearses!
0:28:18 > 0:28:25- That's the Rolls Royce, isn't it? - Yeah. You'd have been wealthy to afford that hearse.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31- And this one here, that presumably is like the Ford Focus.- Yeah.
0:28:31 > 0:28:37- If you'd a bit less money, you'd still get a roof. - That's pulled by a horse as well.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42And round here is a pushbike. Or the funereal equivalent.
0:28:42 > 0:28:48- If you really didn't have very much money at all...- Pulled by hand. - ..you had this bier.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51I think you've got such a good job.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Me, too.- I want your job.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58No time for that now, Philip. It's back to your own day job.
0:28:58 > 0:29:04- With all shopping completed, our experts reunite to show and tell for the last time.- I spent it all.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09Literally, every penny. I've taken a risk. I've done a canoe
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- and a vaulting horse... - All in one go?- All on one horse.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- Let's have a look.- And I think I've really dropped one.- Really?
0:29:18 > 0:29:23- This was £100! - That was a weak moment, Tom.
0:29:23 > 0:29:29- I think she's beautiful. A really good buy.- Philip's not so sure.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- In London, she could sell well. - Stop rubbing it!
0:29:32 > 0:29:37- I think your telescopes will do well. How much were your game counters?- They were 10.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41- And your nutcrackers?- £2.20. - Right, are you ready?- Ready.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- Concentrate.- I don't understand. - Concentrate really hard.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49- I don't believe it!- Snap. - Where did you buy them from?
0:29:49 > 0:29:54- I guess the same man as you. - Stephen?- Yes.- He was having a joke.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59- He's a good man. He's sold us both a profit.- I think he has.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04- How much was this? - 20 quid. It wants treating.- You've done what you said you wouldn't.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- Buy a butcher's block? - Buy for £20.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11It's your turn to buy a canoe and a vaulting horse
0:30:11 > 0:30:14and there she is.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- Roles reversed!- I do hope so. I might make a profit then.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- What are you doing? I thought we were friends.- We are.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- No, no, no... - There's a bit of tension building!
0:30:26 > 0:30:31He's done what he said he wouldn't do. He's played it safe. I've risked everything!
0:30:31 > 0:30:36Tables reversed, roles reversed. But I want to make the profit.
0:30:36 > 0:30:43This will be really interesting. Thomas has done the lot and put £165 into his top two lots.
0:30:43 > 0:30:50The worse that can happen to me is that I might break even. With luck, I might make £50-£100.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I can see this being really tight.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58There's only one way to settle this and find out who is victorious. Off to the auction we go.
0:30:58 > 0:31:05From Luton, our experts embark on the final 40 miles to the sale room in Greenwich, south-east London,
0:31:05 > 0:31:08home of Greenwich Mean Time, the Cutty Sark and Greenwich Auctions,
0:31:08 > 0:31:13where our experts will go head to head for one last time.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17The auctioneer today is Rob Dodd and having had a look,
0:31:17 > 0:31:21he's got some breaking news on Thomas's rare Art Deco lady.
0:31:21 > 0:31:29When the courier brought the items in, we noticed the lady hadn't been particularly wrapped very well.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34Unfortunately, I won't be able to put her under the hammer.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I'd forgotten how beautiful she was.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39"Was" being the operative word.
0:31:40 > 0:31:45- Look at her!- Thomas is also in bits. - The poor thing.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50- She's armless. - That's probably the highest grade plaster of Paris I've ever seen!
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Have you seen that? It was like a garden gnome!
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- And...? And...? - It's an upmarket garden gnome.
0:31:58 > 0:32:0320th century, beautiful. Signed, French Art Deco figure.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- It's wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.- Deluded.
0:32:06 > 0:32:13- It's a one-off. - Well, the rare Art Deco figure has just become a lot rarer.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18Never mind, Thomas. She'll be covered by insurance. Poor thing.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Thomas started this leg of the Road Trip with £252.20.
0:32:21 > 0:32:26And he's spent it all on six lots, including the damaged figure.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30So he's quite literally going for broke in order to win.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Philip, on the other hand, started with £204.68
0:32:33 > 0:32:38and has also bought six lots costing a slightly more cautious £153,
0:32:38 > 0:32:43leaving him with £51.68 cash in hand.
0:32:44 > 0:32:51Come on, boys. It's time to get this sale underway with the very excitable auctioneer, Rob.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- Oh, my!- Doesn't he clatter that? - He hits it down!
0:32:54 > 0:32:59Philip has a lot at stake on the vintage butcher's block.

0:33:25 > 0:33:30This is cheap. Are we all done? Last time. On the telephone at £70!
0:33:30 > 0:33:36- The butcher's block turns out to be a prime cut, delivering a meaty profit.- I better just go now.
0:33:36 > 0:33:42- We're neck and neck now. - Yeah, all right.- Aren't we? - All right!- We are.
0:33:42 > 0:33:48First up for Thomas is the mother of pearl gaming counters and silver-plated nutcrackers.

0:34:34 > 0:34:39- Better than nothing. - Where are we now? Who's winning?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- You are winning.- Really?- Yes.
0:34:41 > 0:34:46Packing a tidy profit, the trunk turns out to be not too shabby.

0:34:53 > 0:34:57- It's got to start with a bid with me at a paltry £10.- Ouch.

0:35:10 > 0:35:14- Last time at £30. - That was an ouch.
0:35:14 > 0:35:20- That WAS an ouch. Ow.- The sale room fails to go nuts for the crackers, resulting in a loss for Philip.
0:35:20 > 0:35:25The Kosta Boda vase is up next for Thomas.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29£15 only for the Boda vase. Looking for 18.

0:35:44 > 0:35:49- £30 on the vase.- Ouch. - Ouch indeed!
0:35:49 > 0:35:55- That's another loss for Thomas. - I don't mind who wins or loses. - Really?- No, it doesn't matter.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- It's all about the winning. - It's taking part.
0:35:58 > 0:36:05Talking of which, it's the straight from cask 12-year-old whisky and the silver-plated label next.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24Looking for 46. DOG BARKS

0:37:22 > 0:37:25At only £30 on the camera.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- Ouch! - What did that cost you?- Go away.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33A negative result on the camera and another loss for Thomas.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38Now more mother of pearl gaming counters, this time for Philip.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42Lot 115. Another really good, stunning lot.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- Bid's with me at £8.- 8.

0:37:56 > 0:38:01- At £18.- The luck... The luck of Philip.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06That's made my week. I don't care what happens now.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11It may be a small profit, but it's better than the loss Thomas made.
0:38:11 > 0:38:18Arr! Shiver me timbers! Can he gain any ground with his early map and brass telescope?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Got to start with a bid with me of £20 only.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Looking for 22. 22. 25. 8 I need.

0:38:46 > 0:38:52Are we all done at 45? The last time. At £45!
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- That's made what it should. - Definitely, definitely.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59The competition could still go either way.
0:38:59 > 0:39:06- If I win by less than six quid, I'm going to gain no satisfaction from it at all.- Oh, yeah.
0:39:06 > 0:39:13Philip's final lot is the coffee can and the Peter Pan coffee cup. Will it need fairy dust to fly?
0:39:13 > 0:39:15This is a really, really good lot.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19I mean, this is exceptional.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21They sniff these things out.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Someone is getting their leg pulled.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29The bid's with me on these, seriously, at £5.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34I'll take 6. You know we can't do 50p in this auction room.
0:39:34 > 0:39:366. Here we go. This is more like it.
0:39:36 > 0:39:407. 8, madam? You can't pull out. You started it.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45I'll take 9 there. You need to come back. 10. 11.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Go 12. Go 12. It's a pound.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52£13 there. Looking for 14. 14 there. New place in the room.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55With you, sir.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00- Very, very good. - At 15... £16 in time!
0:40:00 > 0:40:02This is getting serious. 17 I need.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06I've got 16. Are we all done? Are you sure?
0:40:06 > 0:40:08I'd have bought more if I'd known!
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Looking for 19. Are we all done? Are you sure? £19! Looking for £20.
0:40:12 > 0:40:19- Are we all done this time? - How do you do it? - At £19 on two cups!
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Give him a round of applause!
0:40:24 > 0:40:30- No justice.- Clap your hands if you believe in Philip. Go on, Tinkerbell, give us a smile.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- I'm going to go home.- You should.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Thomas's last item is the brass and enamel-footed bowl.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41£12 on this. Looking for 15. 18.
0:40:41 > 0:40:4419 there. £20 there. Looking for 21.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Are you sure? ..21 there! Looking for 22.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52I've got £21. Looking for 22.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Madam, great. 22 there. Looking for 23. Last time.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59At £22 with a smile!
0:40:59 > 0:41:04Thomas makes a small comeback on his last lot, but what about his smashed figure?
0:41:04 > 0:41:11I don't want to be picky here, but your insurance claim could swing this one way or the other.
0:41:11 > 0:41:16No, it's not going to. I've lost money on my insurance claim.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19I reckon it would have made £200.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Sadly, Thomas, we'll never know.
0:41:21 > 0:41:28The insurance pay out valued the figure at £120, giving Thomas a final £20 profit,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31but will it be enough to tip the scales?
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Thomas started the show with £252.20.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39After auction costs, he's made a loss of £39.82,
0:41:39 > 0:41:45giving him a grand total for this Road Trip of £212.38.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Philip, however, began with £204.68
0:41:48 > 0:41:52and, after costs, he's made a profit of £52,
0:41:52 > 0:41:58taking his overall total to £256.68, with all profits going to Children In Need.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Which means that, after a nail-biting last auction,
0:42:02 > 0:42:07Philip wins the day and this Road Trip. Congratulations, old bean.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11- Philip...- Don't feel bad about it. - Feeling bad about what?
0:42:11 > 0:42:18You lulled me into that false sense of security. You played it safe and you've beaten me by all of...
0:42:18 > 0:42:24- Do you know what I think it was? I've beaten you by...- £30? - ..the cost of the camera.- I know!
0:42:24 > 0:42:26So it was that camera wot done it.
0:42:26 > 0:42:32Never mind, Thomas. Here's a few snapshots from your Road Trip and the great week.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34- Come on, let's go.- Let's go.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41The daftest, dangerous, most stupid lot ever.
0:42:41 > 0:42:47- Poor thing!- I'll give him a run for his money.- It's been a rollercoaster, including boats...
0:42:47 > 0:42:49HORN SOUNDS
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- ..trams... - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- I do like the whistle! - ..and automobiles.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- In your own time.- It's not working!
0:42:58 > 0:43:02- I'm getting wet! - ..What ARE you doing?
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Pretending to be a Catholic priest.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- Nice baps. - I like a good pair of baps.
0:43:08 > 0:43:09BLEEP
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Thomas!
0:43:12 > 0:43:14Are we going the right way?
0:43:18 > 0:43:24Next week on the Antiques Road Trip, we're with a brand new pair of experts.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27The enthusiastic Mark Stacey.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- Would you like to have a go?- No.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34- And the raring-to-go Paul Laidlaw. - Loving it!
