0:00:01 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each...
0:00:05 > 0:00:11- I love that.- ..a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14- Yippee! - I've got pieces that could fly.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction. But it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25- Hello ladies.- So, will it be the high road to glory
0:00:25 > 0:00:27or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:33- But there's nobody bidding. - This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41This week, we start a new chapter with the right couple of heroes,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Mark Stacey and Paul Laidlaw.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Paul, this is the first time I've driven this car.
0:00:46 > 0:00:52And it's a bit... It's a bit... What is this? I don't know, I'm not doing it, Paul!
0:00:52 > 0:00:58Antiques expert Mark Stacey is very good at identifying antiques.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- They lost the top or something. - The top off a big one!
0:01:04 > 0:01:08And of course he likes the finer things in life.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Champagne, anyone?
0:01:12 > 0:01:17Auctioneer Paul Laidlaw always knows the most important things to ask.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Do you offer such a thing as a toilet?
0:01:21 > 0:01:25And will do anything in his quest for antiques.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- If you hear a crashing noise, phone A&E, yeah?- Yeah, yeah.
0:01:30 > 0:01:36Our gents about town begin their adventure with £200 each and an open road in front of them.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42Their automobile of choice this week is the 1967 Sunbeam Alpine.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46She looks good and she drives like the wind. Well, sometimes.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56- It doesn't sound very good. - That is misfiring horribly!
0:01:59 > 0:02:03On this road trip, Mark and Paul travel over 300 miles
0:02:03 > 0:02:09from Sabden in Lancashire to Bridgwater in Somerset.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13But this is the first leg and we begin our shopping expedition in the village of Sabden,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17with the auction in the market town of Burnley in Lancashire.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26Sabden is a small village in the lush green Ribble Valley.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30But before the boys get stuck into shopping, they take in the view.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Let's get on our way, Paul. I think we need to get shopping.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- The clouds are ominous.- Oh, no.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I don't know a lot about cars, Paul.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41But when you turn a key there's meant to be a noise, isn't there?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43No, it's dead, isn't it?
0:02:43 > 0:02:48What are we going to do? I mean, my shop's quite close by.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I mean, I could ring the dealer I suppose, couldn't I?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Phone him up then, this is excellent news!
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Shall I give him a ring, see if he'll come and pick us up?
0:02:55 > 0:03:00Oh, dear. Looks like we're not going to start as quickly as we thought.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03And it's antiques dealer Phil to the rescue.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Hello.- How are you doing? Couldn't have a better view.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09OK then, let's go.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Oh yes, can you drop Paul off first? I don't want him coming in your shop with me.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- We provide a taxi service, no problem.- Thank you.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21- Mind you, we haven't asked the fee yet!- No need to discuss that.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Thank goodness for good Samaritan Phil. Oh, don't worry, boys.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29We'll take care of the car.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- See you later, Phil.- Take care, bye.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Finally, Paul makes his destination of Sabden.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46This antiques tournament can now well and truly begin.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Paul's getting stuck into Ribble Valley Antiques.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56With over three floors, he should be spoiled for choice.
0:03:56 > 0:04:02That's quite sexy. Perfume as a hip flask. But it's silver.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07The Victorian lady loved to carry her favourite perfume about her person.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12Many scent bottles were designed to be worn in the same way as a piece of jewellery.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Yeah, I'm liking what I see. I like what I see.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Can we just put that into the mix? Yeah. I'm interested.
0:04:22 > 0:04:29Here we are. I like this. A vintage clay pigeon trap.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I think that's the term. So what do we have?
0:04:31 > 0:04:37We have a sprung mechanism that will launch, discus-style, a skeet.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39One of these. And that's your clay pigeon.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42It gets, you know, loose, it gets propelled through the air.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45And here we go. OK?
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Like the condition. It looks like an original paint.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55"Eley clay pigeon trap, late 19th Century, £160."
0:04:57 > 0:05:02It's a stand-out piece that, isn't it? I'm buying that for sure.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Let's get dealer Paul into the mix.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08£80, it can be yours. In the back of the car.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Too much.- Too much?- It's too much.
0:05:11 > 0:05:1570 quid it's yours.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Give me 15 minutes, yeah? - No problem.- Cheers, buddy.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Well, while Paul takes his 15 minutes,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25let's find out how Mark's getting on.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Mark has travelled in antique dealer Phil's red van
0:05:30 > 0:05:35to the village of Whalley, also in the Ribble Valley.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38After being chauffeured around the countryside,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Mark can hopefully get on with buying some gems in Phil's shop.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Somebody brought this in.- Oh, is it one of those mandolins?- Exactly.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Oh, wow!- Neapolitan.
0:05:48 > 0:05:54Oh, they're all - oh, God, that's beautiful quality, isn't it?
0:05:54 > 0:05:59- Yeah.- Very nice.- Rosewood.- Lovely.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- And this is tortoiseshell, is it? - A bit of tortoiseshell, yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Remember, tortoiseshell is acceptable to sell
0:06:06 > 0:06:08only if it pre-dates 1947.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13God, it's beautifully done, isn't it?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- What would you say that was, about 1900?- Yeah.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- 1910.- There's a little label inside, actually.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- Yeah, I think it says Napoli. - Alfredo Albertini.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- I'm sure that's a great deal of money though, Phil?- No.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35It's, eh - oh, it's £65.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40Hang on, let me sit down. I thought I heard £65 then.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- Well. Actually it doesn't sound bad. - It should be 165 really.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Actually, I might be interested in that, Phil, actually.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Mark knows the best way of finding some goodies
0:06:53 > 0:06:56is getting to the heart of the dealer's collection.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01So he's getting first dibs at Phil's as-yet unpriced new stock.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06This is entitled, "Dad's pipe in three acts".
0:07:09 > 0:07:12So, smoking the pipe, all right.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Smoking the pipe, possibly a little queasy.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20Definitely ill here now. And a broken pipe on the floor.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Oh, it's rather fun, isn't it? What does it say on there?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28"London, published 1897 by Cadbury."
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Oh, that's it. Cadbury, yeah. Yeah, it's charming.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37- It is charming. - Original frame. Not dear.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Oh, it's...
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- £30.- Oh, really? £10 per picture? - Yeah.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51- Could you take 20 for it?- 25.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Go on then, £25. Thank you very much.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I think it's rather charming, actually.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Now, what about that mandolin?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Phil's knocked another fiver off the price.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- You couldn't do the mandolin for any less than that?- No.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- That's 60.- That's a definite no, isn't it?
0:08:10 > 0:08:14OK. £60. Thank you very much, Phil.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Thanks. I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time.- Not at all.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19But that's - I'm very happy with that.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I hope I'm going to make sweet music at the auction.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Excellent work, Mark. Interesting buys from your first shop of the day.
0:08:32 > 0:08:39Dare we go back to Paul in Sabden? Let's hope he's made some decisions.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44Look what we have here. We have a print.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Dating to probably about 1920.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50And it's... it's a cartoon, really.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52We've got the Cenotaph.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56And we've got an old man, a little bit bedraggled.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59He's out of uniform. He's in mufti.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04And he's paying respect on bended knee to The Glorious Dead,
0:09:04 > 0:09:09the fallen of The Great War. I think that's deeply moving.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I actually know who this chap is.
0:09:12 > 0:09:20That's Old Bill. He's the creation of Bruce Bairnsfather.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Bruce Bairnsfather was a prominent British humorist and cartoonist.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28He's best known for his World War I character, Old Bill.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32This sketch is in the style of the artist.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34But instead of asking the price,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Paul has now moved on to the store room.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39As if three floors weren't enough, eh?
0:09:44 > 0:09:50Pretty uninspiring plaster bust of Christ, yeah?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53No. Marble.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Hand-worked in marble.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Religion, however, we know does not sell.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05But there's no getting away from the fact that
0:10:05 > 0:10:10that is a pleasingly executed depiction.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I'm certainly asking about that.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Finally, could we be closing in for a bit of negotiation?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Well, I survived it. Um, I've got four things in the mix.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Trap, silver...
0:10:24 > 0:10:28print, and Christ, four things.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Give me the price on the four.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35150 for job lot.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38100 quid, the lot. For the four pieces.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41110, and you've got a deal.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Cheers, big man.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Phew, thank goodness for that.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51A big antique swoop for your first shop of the day, Paul.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Mark is still on the lookout for antiques
0:10:56 > 0:10:59and is heading east to the village of Cross Hills in Keighley.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Mark's visiting Heathcote Antiques, owned by Simon Webster,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08to try and add more to his antiques booty.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13That's a bit of cricketing memorabilia here, I suppose.
0:11:13 > 0:11:19July 2nd, 1935, WF Cooke, nine wickets for 30.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22It's a shame it doesn't tell us which match it was.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25But this is probably the original ball that they used
0:11:25 > 0:11:27and then somebody's just had that mounted on there.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Probably in silver plate, because there's no hallmarks.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32And it's marked up at £58.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Will that bowl Paul Laidlaw out of the match?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Who knows?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41But it's rather fun, don't you think?
0:11:45 > 0:11:50Mark's found this curious object, priced at £78.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55This, I've never seen anything like it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59It's beautifully made, a nice turned handle, nice and solid in your hand.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02And when you turn it upside down,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05it says, a marine distance meter.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Now, I have no idea what you use this for.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Er, allow me.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I'm told this naval pipe meter is a measuring device,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16with a small sighting telescope.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19It was used by the Navy for range finding.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20But I do know that,
0:12:20 > 0:12:25I mean, scientific instruments can make money in the sale room.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28And actually, there's a little military arrow there,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31which means it was used by the military for some reason.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Which adds a little bit of interest to it.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37But I don't know what it's for.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Right, time's up.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Let's go and do the deed.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42I mean, I like this.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I have no idea what it was used for.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48I'm not even going to look at your price, Andrew.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Because I know what I want to pay for this.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Well, that's good.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57But will he accept it? That be the question.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58So, that I like,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01because I think it's the sort of item somebody might just pick up.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03This, I think is quirky.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08- I think anything related to cricket has got a chance.- Yes.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09And it's got a nice date on this.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12It's probably not silver, I think it's silver plate...
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- I...- Or maybe it's unmarked silver.- I think it's unmarked silver.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Do you think so? - There's no wear on it.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19So those two, I think are good for the sale.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20CLOCK CHIMES
0:13:20 > 0:13:23You don't want these in your cabinet.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24You know, you've got much better stock.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Don't look at the price, Simon, because it's faded,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30it's been there for about a decade.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31£20.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34HE EXHALES DEEPLY
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Honestly. And the same for this.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41And that gives me a really good sporting chance, doesn't it?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- You're being a hard man.- I know, but...- Give me another fiver.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- No, come on, please.- Give me another fiver and we'll have a deal.- 45.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Yes.- I can't argue with you. Thank you very much.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Are you happy with that, Simon? - I'll have to be now.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58THEY LAUGH
0:14:00 > 0:14:03While Mark has been deliberating over which antique to buy,
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Paul is back behind the wheel of the now repaired Sunbeam Alpine.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I think I've got pieces today that,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14I'll tell you what, they could, I've got pieces that could fly.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16And that's a good feeling.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Loving it!
0:14:23 > 0:14:27He's travelling south-westerly, to just outside the town of Rawtenstall
0:14:27 > 0:14:31to visit a wonderful collection of gramophones and photographs.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Mark Robinson has been collecting them for the last 20 years,
0:14:37 > 0:14:40and has very kindly invited Paul to have a closer look.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Do you want to come in and have a look round?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I'd love to. Thanks very much. I've made it in one piece.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49It all began when avid classical music fan Mark
0:14:49 > 0:14:52decided to turn his spare room into a music room.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Thinking the space needed something special,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58he decided a gramophone would be just the thing.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00GRAMOPHONE PLAYS
0:15:02 > 0:15:04OK, Paul. Welcome to the collection room.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Wow.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07PAUL LAUGHS
0:15:07 > 0:15:09My word.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13They are icons. They are immediately recognisable.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Yes, they are.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17We have two different developments in this room.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21We have the Edison phonograph and we also have the disc machine,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23which is the gramophone.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- That's the distinction. A phonograph...- Phonograph...
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- ..plays from a cylinder.- A cylinder, that's right.- And a gramophone...
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Plays from the flat disc.- The record that we know.- That's right.- I see.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38Edison invented the cylinder phonograph in 1877.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43And what you're looking at here now is an Edison cylinder phonograph.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47This machine probably comes from about 1909.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- So, Mark, would it be possible to play one?- Of course it is, yes.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53CRACKLING
0:15:53 > 0:15:55LOUD MUSIC
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Oh, they're loud! - Yes, quite, very loud, yes.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59MUSIC CONTINUES
0:16:05 > 0:16:10- That must have been mind blowing in 1870.- Yes.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Amiel Berliner made the transition from phonograph cylinders
0:16:15 > 0:16:16to gramophone record.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20He founded the Berliner Gramophone Company in 1895.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25The machine that became the first proper disc machine
0:16:25 > 0:16:26is the same model of gramophone
0:16:26 > 0:16:30that you see on the HMV His Master's Voice logo.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37This example is very rare, and dates from the late 1800s.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Now, Francis Barrard, who was a great painter of the day,
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- painted that machine with a dog... - Mm-hm.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- ..and sold it to Amiel Berliner... - Ah.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51..for him to use as his logo for the gramophone company.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54And that's the gramophone...
0:16:54 > 0:16:58That's the same machine that you see over here.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Mark's love for gramophones has spilled into yet another room.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05He has one last remarkable example to show Paul.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10The horn on this model is a mighty three and a half feet wide.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- So, is this the jewel in the crown, by any chance?- It is. Yes.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17This is the EMG, they call it a Mark 10B machine,
0:17:17 > 0:17:22which is the top of the range machine, er, from 1934.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Machines like this can fetch several thousand pounds.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30OPERATIC MUSIC PLAYS
0:17:45 > 0:17:51This disc is Enrico Caruso, the music is Vesti La Giubba,
0:17:51 > 0:17:56which is from Pagliacci, by Leoncavallo.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59And this dates from about 1904, I think.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01And interestingly,
0:18:01 > 0:18:05this disc was the very first disc that ever sold a million copies.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Oh, my word. - So, quite a historic record indeed.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12I've had a wonderful experience, and a real treat, Mark.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13It's been a pleasure.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- More so from me. Thank you very much.- And please come again.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20And after a packed day of excitement,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22it's time for our experts to rest.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Nighty-night.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29CHURCH BELLS RING
0:18:31 > 0:18:34It's the start of a brand new sunny day, as the boys roll into town,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37accompanied by church bells, of course.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45So far, Mark has spent £130 on four items,
0:18:45 > 0:18:49the Sicilian mandolin, the Victorian black-and-white prints,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52the cricket ball, and the very unusual pipe meter.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Mark has £70 for the day ahead.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Paul has also been rather busy.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01He's spent £110 on four items,
0:19:01 > 0:19:05the clay pigeon trap, the small silver perfume bottle,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09the bust of Christ and the Old Bill picture.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Paul has £90 for the day ahead.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17The boys have travelled for 13 miles to the town of Skipton
0:19:17 > 0:19:18in North Yorkshire.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23The gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, Skipton has an ancient castle,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26dating from the 11th century.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28And it was also the birthplace of Thomas Spencer,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31co-founder of Marks & Spencer.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37The boys are beginning the next instalment of their adventure here.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Mark is in good spirits, as he heads for Skipton Antique Centre.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46And after a quick gander, he's found an interesting cabinet,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48owned by the rather camera-shy Pauline.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55It's a teddy bear. Ticket price, a hefty £165.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Can I have a little look at it? - Of course you can. Yes, no problem.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Because I do rather like old vintage teddy bears.- Yes, I know you do.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06- You know I do.- I do.- I had one once, very successfully on a show.- Yes.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08But he's caught my eye, you know,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- because he's the biggest in there, isn't he?- Mmm.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Oh, he's so, it says he's a growler.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17He's a growler with, a little mishap in between.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18SHE LAUGHS
0:20:18 > 0:20:19TEDDY BEAR GROWLS QUIETLY
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- You see?- Oh, hang on.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- It's like he's burping.- Burping.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25THEY LAUGH
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Oh, he's so sweet.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- He's got such a sad face. - I know, he's so sweet.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- He wants somebody to take him home with them, doesn't he?- He does.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36About what age, would you say, Pauline? Is this '50s?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I think, yes, I think he's around '50s.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- I mean, he's got, oh his head turns well.- And his arms.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Oh yes, they swivel, and his legs turn.- Yes, yes.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46But I mean, he's got no maker's marks,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- so we can't say if he's English or German.- No, no.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- I must admit... - It's just such a nice cuddle.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I'm rather getting fond of him, actually, I must admit.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56It's sort of, he's growing on me.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59But I do think he looks lovely on the chair.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- Yes, I don't mind the chair going with him.- Look, Pauline...- Mm-hm?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07..ideally, I'd love to pay about 50 quid.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Right.- Is that pushing you too hard, do you think, for the two?
0:21:10 > 0:21:14It is, but because it's you and I want you to win...
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Are you...- Yes. - Are you sure?- I am, yes, I am.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Can we have a little bear hug to celebrate?- Yes.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22SHE LAUGHS
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Ooh, Mark's very happy with his growling teddy.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28But how is Paul faring?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31He's enjoying the sunshine,
0:21:31 > 0:21:36as he takes a bracing walk to Wash House Antiques, also in Skipton.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Hi.- Good morning.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Isn't it a good morning? - It's lovely.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- I'm Paul.- Samantha, pleased to meet you.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Pleased to meet you, thanks very much. This is rather interesting.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Hmmm...
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Looks as though you're having trouble finding anything, Paul.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06That's an interesting corona you've got there, is it not?
0:22:06 > 0:22:07The one with the thistles?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Yes, yes. It is a really good strong,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I thought it was a really good interior peace, that one.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14It is, yes, yes, yes.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Any age to it?
0:22:16 > 0:22:22- Well, to me, I thought it was a Victorian one.- It's wrought iron.
0:22:23 > 0:22:29Yes, I can see, I can see the radial pins to secure a cut
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- and a fringe, whatever.- Yes. - Er, interesting thing.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Have you got high hopes for it, or not?
0:22:36 > 0:22:42- Well, I've got it in the shop at £250.- Yes.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Out of my league.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50I am prepared to come down. That really is a starting price.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55- How low can you go? I mean, I would have to be brutal.- Much lower.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Brutal.- Right.- We're at two figures for a start,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- because that's how much money I've got. I mean...- Right.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04..I've got barely over £100 left in my pocket.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07So, for you it would have to come in at under 100?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Let me bid you 50 quid and see what you say to me.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14If you can't do 100, 90, 90 has to be the bottom line for it.
0:23:17 > 0:23:1980 quid and I'll buy it.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20I'll do it at 80.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Let me give you a big, sincere, warm handshake. Thanks very much.
0:23:24 > 0:23:30What a display of excellent negotiating skills, Paul. Well done.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34The boys are together again and Mark's behind the wheel this time.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Let's hope she works.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36And, hey presto.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38ENGINE STARTS UP
0:23:38 > 0:23:39PAUL LAUGHS
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Mark is being a real gent, and dropping Paul off
0:23:47 > 0:23:50at his next destination in Saltaire, West Yorkshire.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Listen...- See you later, buddy.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Enjoy your shop, even though you don't need it.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- PAUL LAUGHS - See you later.- Take care. Bye.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01We'll catch up with Paul later.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03But for now, we're off with Mark,
0:24:03 > 0:24:07who looks just the part behind the wheel of the classic Sunbeam Alpine.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09MUSIC
0:24:14 > 0:24:18He's travelling the three miles to Baildon in West Yorkshire.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Mark is meeting another enthusiast,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25who's keeping old traditions alive in her home.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- Diane West's passion is rag rugging. - I'm Mark.- Pleased to meet you.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34This original thrift craft flourished from the era
0:24:34 > 0:24:36of the Industrial Revolution.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Whilst Diane's rugs are decorative, back in their day,
0:24:40 > 0:24:44they were purely functional. And it wasn't just women who made the rugs.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Men joined in too, both using scraps of unwanted fabrics
0:24:47 > 0:24:49from around the house, and from rags,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53discarded from the many local textile mills.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Diane was in search of an artistic hobby craft, when she came across
0:24:57 > 0:25:01a local group reviving the tradition of rag rug making.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I couldn't believe the sort of work that they were doing,
0:25:04 > 0:25:09all made out of scrap material, plastics, leather,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12all sorts of stuff, and I got really excited about it
0:25:12 > 0:25:14and so I joined them.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17And when I came home and I said to my mum,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19"I've joined a rag rug making group,
0:25:19 > 0:25:23"I never knew about rag rugs", she was absolutely horrified.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28- Wow.- Because, she remembered rugs when she was a child,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30and they were a sign of poverty.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31And she said to me,
0:25:31 > 0:25:35"What on earth do you want to make those dirty old dust traps for?"
0:25:35 > 0:25:42And I couldn't, sort of, reconcile this attitude with the wonderful,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44creative things that I'd seen
0:25:44 > 0:25:47and once I started making rugs, she said to me,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49"They're not like the ones we used to make."
0:25:49 > 0:25:52She was obviously attributing them to the ones
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- where she was growing up, maybe. - Yeah.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57The life cycle of a rag rug would begin in the front room
0:25:57 > 0:26:01beside the fire, then moving to the kitchen and after
0:26:01 > 0:26:03varying degrees of wear and tear
0:26:03 > 0:26:06would finally end up as the doormat at the back door.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11This region of West Yorkshire with its wool mills was
0:26:11 > 0:26:14the natural habitat for this homespun craft.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18But it wasn't limited to Yorkshire.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Lancashire, with its cotton mills, was also fertile ground
0:26:21 > 0:26:24for rag-rugging but now with the mills gone,
0:26:24 > 0:26:28modern-day rag-ruggers make do with using old family clothes.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37The sky's made out of... It's hand-dyed nylon tights.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- His beard is the cuffs of jumpers. - Gosh.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46His gown is made out of scraps of velvet and it's from a local mill.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49They used to sell the scrap bags for a pound.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Unfortunately the mill is no longer there.- Closed.- Yeah.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58- This bag here is made out of my mum's old skirt.- Really?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Yeah. So you can put all sorts of different fabrics in that have
0:27:02 > 0:27:05got quite a lot of sentimental value.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Something you're working on at the moment...
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Diane's going to show Mark some of the traditional methods
0:27:11 > 0:27:15rag-ruggers use, starting with a hessian base.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16There's two different techniques.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19One's hooking and the other's prodding.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Hooking is where you pull the fabric up.- OK.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- And prodding is where you push it through.- OK.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Would you like to have a go? - No, not really!
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- SHE LAUGHS - It's not that bad!- But I will.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- So I've got my little... - You've got your hook.- My hook.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39What you need to do is put that underneath here.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Underneath here, following this line, roughly?
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Yeah, and then put your hook through and try and wrap...
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- Anywhere through there?- Yes. - Oh, whoa!- Well done.- I've done it.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Put that down a bit, then I push it in again?- Yes.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- Then I've got it under.- Hey... - Marky, come on.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01But sometimes it's easier if you tilt the hook.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- Yes!- See, I've got another one through.- Yes, you're through, yes.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Yeah, three in a row.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Three in a row in about 30 minutes. So whatever I do...
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Not quite!- ..I'm going to actually...
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- Oh, no, look.- Four, you see.- Come on, I'm getting the hang of this now.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- Just think.- This could be record-breaking attempt.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21With a bit of practice...
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- With a bit of practice. - You could make a carpet.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Thank you for letting me have a go.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Thank you for coming and having a go in my workshop.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31- It's lovely to have met you and thank you so much again.- You too.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Goodbye, Diane.- Bye-bye.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39As amateur rag-rugger Mark downs tools, let's catch up with Paul.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45He's back in Saltaire, a Victorian model village
0:28:45 > 0:28:47and a designated world heritage site.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Paul is having a rummage in Carlton Fine Art and Antiques.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57He's only got £10 left so his savvy plan is to beef up
0:28:57 > 0:29:00one of his current lots with a value-adding partner.
0:29:02 > 0:29:09Just there you have a little Victorian pocket knife
0:29:09 > 0:29:11and a tiny little corkscrew.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13That corkscrew ain't going to open any wine bottles.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16It's for opening perfume bottles.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20And what do we have in hand but our perfume?
0:29:20 > 0:29:24There is also a little button hook for fastening up
0:29:24 > 0:29:26the buttons on one's gloves, let's say.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29But will dealer Malcolm be up for negotiating?
0:29:29 > 0:29:33I'm just going to float this one. That's sitting at 11 and a half,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36that's sitting at £6, 17 and a half.
0:29:36 > 0:29:42If the pair can be a tenner which is my budget,
0:29:42 > 0:29:46I'll go for it. If not, I've had a great afternoon
0:29:46 > 0:29:48and I'll see you next time.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- Any chance of that, do you think? - We'll do a deal.- Have I done one?
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- We've done a deal. - Thanks, my friend.- OK.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Skint!
0:30:01 > 0:30:03And that's the last deal of the day.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07The boys are meeting up to give one another's treasures the once-over.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13Some of this you're going to hate. Some of it I think you might like.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18- I hope.- Well, I say, I say, I say, I say.- There's a couple of things down there
0:30:18 > 0:30:20and you're not going to like those.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- But I'd like to be surprised. - Oh, gosh! What on earth is it?
0:30:24 > 0:30:29- Eley patent clay pigeon trap. - Oh, my good Lord.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Of course, so you stretch that down...- Yep.- ..and fire it.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37- It's like mediaeval siege artillery. - I love it.- "Loose!"- I love it, Paul.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- You might not think it's great when I tell you what I paid for it. - What?- Stuck my neck out.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45£70. I just don't know.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Can I just say, Paul, I've never seen one.
0:30:48 > 0:30:53I've never particularly wanted to see one. But £70, I don't know.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- What's this all about?- This is an original pen and ink.- Is it really?
0:30:56 > 0:31:02It is, and it's clearly an homage to Bairnsfather.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- People will flock to that. What did you pay for it?- £10 spent.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- Oh...- So I cannae go wrong. - I'm not going to talk about it.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14- That's a huge profit in that. There's a huge profit.- Nowt.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17No, that's very nice.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22- You want the right interior designer, decorator, dealer to appreciate that. - Yeah.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Your turn, Mark. Show Paul what you've got.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- This is a bit of Victorian sentimentality.- Yeah, but...
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I love the subject, you've got a little boy there
0:31:33 > 0:31:38and it's titled in the bottom, "Dad's pipe in three acts."
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- I think for £25, I think there's a profit there.- Yeah.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43The teddy bear I just adore.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48- I don't... Do you understand these things?- Nothing, absolutely nothing!
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- It's a growler.- OK.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53I'm thinking it's '50s, it's mohair, it's got glass eyes.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Straw-filled, glass eyes, growler mechanism. Ticking a lot of boxes.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- I'm thinking '40s, '50s, that sort of thing.- Yeah.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01There's a little stool there with it as well.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05- I just fell in love with it.- Yeah. Others will too. That's a seller.
0:32:05 > 0:32:11- The whole little package there cost me £50.- Well, 80-120?- It must be.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16- Yeah.- Must be. The other items, Paul... Look, I'm not a cricketer.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- Sporting?- Sporting.- Don't ask me.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22- The cricket ball is titled.- Oh, right.- Silver little thing on there.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26- Yeah.- 2nd July 1935 so it's got a nice age to it.- Yeah.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31And I didn't realise this, I bought this then the dealer contacted us
0:32:31 > 0:32:34and said actually, he didn't realise where I'd bought it from,
0:32:34 > 0:32:39- it went with the cap.- Right. - And he delivered the cap to us.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- So the cap's a bonus?- Yes, I didn't know it was there.- Get in.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- I don't think I paid a lot for it. - What did you pay?- £22.50.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48I would estimate more than that.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53- So this is the thing I think I've made a mistake on.- Mandolin?- Yes.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- I love it.- Instruments are hot.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57It's in very good condition,
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- it's privately sourced again. - Yeah, Italian?- Sicilian.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- Yes.- The name is in there. Alfredo Albertini.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- Not THE... No, it can't be by him. - It is.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- The most famous mandolin maker of all time.- I've never heard of him!
0:33:10 > 0:33:15No, he is, actually. Seriously. I thought it's worth a punt.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- You're not telling you waded in deep?- £60.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21You didn't wade in deep. You've got to come out of that good.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- Fantastic start.- It's going to be epic.- It's going to be something!
0:33:24 > 0:33:25BOTH LAUGH HEARTILY
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Now get me out of here!
0:33:30 > 0:33:34- So let's hear what our chaps really think.- Who's going to win?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37I don't know. If you want my opinion, he might have an edge on me
0:33:37 > 0:33:38but you know what they say,
0:33:38 > 0:33:41there's many a tune played on an old mandolin.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48Truth of the matter is for all the obvious reasons,
0:33:48 > 0:33:50I'm not keen on the picture.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53I can see why it was bought but would I hang it?
0:33:53 > 0:33:59Could I live with it? No. And I suspect I'm in the majority.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05It's been a cracking first leg.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07We began our journey in Sabden travelling via Whalley,
0:34:07 > 0:34:12Cross Hills, Rawtenstall, Skipton, Saltaire and Baildon,
0:34:12 > 0:34:14finally arriving in Burnley in Lancashire.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19During the Industrial Revolution the town was one of Lancashire's
0:34:19 > 0:34:21most prominent mill towns
0:34:21 > 0:34:25and Burnley featured in the first series of the '80s police drama,
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Juliet Bravo. - MUSIC: "Juliet Bravo" Theme Tune
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Come on, let's get in, I'm dying for a cup of tea if nothing else.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35It's auction day as the boys arrive in town.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Walton and Walton are a general auctioneers with
0:34:39 > 0:34:41a long-established reputation.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Steven Parkinson is today's auctioneer
0:34:45 > 0:34:48and has few thoughts on Mark and Paul's lots.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54I don't like the bust of what is depicting Christ
0:34:54 > 0:34:57simply because there's no art to it.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02There's no work involved, there's no detail. It's not the quality.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06My favourite lot would be the cricket ball with the silver mount
0:35:06 > 0:35:07and the cricket hat.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Mark Stacey started the day with his full allowance of £200
0:35:12 > 0:35:16and spent a whopping £180 on five auction lots.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Paul Laidlaw took his £200 starter pack
0:35:23 > 0:35:27and threw caution to the wind. He blew the lot on five auction lots.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33And remember,
0:35:33 > 0:35:36the auction house takes a commission of the selling price.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39All quiet, please - the auction is about to begin.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Moment of truth.- It is.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47- First up, it's Paul's bust of Christ.- £30.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49£20 on the books starts it then.
0:35:49 > 0:35:5220, 22, now where? I've got £20. Come on, that's little money.
0:35:52 > 0:35:5422, 24, 26, 28, 30...
0:35:54 > 0:35:5830, come on, you know you want to. 32, 34, are you sure now?
0:35:58 > 0:36:03- I know I want him to. - 34, 36, 38.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06No? How about 36, who wants this one for 38?
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Are we all sure now with my bid at 36?
0:36:08 > 0:36:11GAVEL BANGS That's all right, isn't it?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Well, it didn't perform a miracle
0:36:13 > 0:36:15but it's a good profit to start us off.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Five of those, you wouldnae grumble.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22No, no, I wouldn't grumble at ONE of them!
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Let's see if Mark's teddy bear can give him
0:36:26 > 0:36:28a nice, big wodge of profit.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30I can start straight on the book cos I've got bids all over.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32I'm starting with £50.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36- 50's bid.- 55, £50, 55 now where?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Come on, it's cheap at half the price.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39£50, all your hands should be up.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Are we sure? Going to sell to my bidder at £50...
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- GAVEL BANGS - Bids all over.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50Oh dear, Teddy, not the result Mark was looking for.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54I've no idea what's going on in this place! No idea.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Next it's Paul's clay pigeon trap.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Will it launch him further into the lead?
0:37:00 > 0:37:0320? 20, I've got. Thank you.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- Got to do more than this. - 25, 30, 35.
0:37:07 > 0:37:13At the back? No, not you, David. 35, 40, 45, 50, 55?
0:37:13 > 0:37:1760, 65, 70, 75, 80? No.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- Are we all sure?- Come on.- We'll sell at £75, make no mistake.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- GAVEL BANGS - No shame. It's close.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25No shame in that at all.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29Another small profit, Paul. Keep it up.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- That could've been a disaster.- Yeah, plugged the bath.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Unfortunately, it wasn't!
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Mark's turn next with the Sicilian mandolin.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44Starting on the book at 20. 20, 25, now where? 25, 30, 35, 35 with that?
0:37:44 > 0:37:4840, are you sure now? 38 if it's easier. 35 at the back.
0:37:48 > 0:37:5335, 40, 45 back in. 45, 50? 50, have I got 55?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55No, £50 at the back.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- Oh, come on. A bit more.- With £50... - GAVEL BANGS
0:37:57 > 0:38:01Another loss is not music to Mark's ears but it's still early days.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Oh, well. It can only get better.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10PAUL CHUCKLES
0:38:10 > 0:38:16That's the spirit, Mark! Right, it's Paul's Old Bill sketch next.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Start me, where will we start with this one? 20?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Come on, all your hands should be at £20 for this one. 20, I've got.
0:38:23 > 0:38:2820, 25 now where? I've got £20 to my right-hand side. 25, 30.
0:38:28 > 0:38:3130, 35, 40.
0:38:31 > 0:38:3545? No, I have £40 to my right hand side.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Are we all sure now going at £40? - It's a good buy.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- GAVEL BANGS - It's a wee profit.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43It's a "wee profit" indeed, Paul. And they all add up.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- It's a damn good result, that. Well done.- Cheers, buddy.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Behave yourself, Mark!
0:38:52 > 0:38:56It's your Victorian black and white prints next.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Got to be £30, hasn't it? 20 then. £20.
0:39:00 > 0:39:0320 I've got then, 22, now where?

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Are we all sure now with a bid at 34?
0:39:15 > 0:39:19- GAVEL BANGS - Well done.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Thank goodness Mark's finally got a profit - however small!
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Back to Paul, it's the Arts and Crafts corona pendant light next.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34We'll have to come straight in with me at £30. Hands up everywhere.
0:39:34 > 0:39:3730, 35, 40, 45,
0:39:37 > 0:39:4150, 55, 60, no?
0:39:41 > 0:39:43What do you mean, no? You fool.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51- Are we all sure now with £60? - No, no, no!
0:39:51 > 0:39:53- GAVEL BANGS - Oh, what?
0:39:53 > 0:39:54MARK WHISTLES
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Oh, dear, Paul. It's your first loss of the day. What a pity.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00You bargained so well for that lot.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04It's Mark's unusual naval pipe meter next.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Will it excite the bidders of Burnley?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09So what are they going to make of this?
0:40:09 > 0:40:14I'm going to start the bidding with me on the book at £14.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16- Oh, £14!- The heavy hitters out(!)

0:40:33 > 0:40:35GAVEL BANGS
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Well, someone's bought it, Mark, just not at the price you hoped for.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42I'm clawing my way back to break-even!
0:40:45 > 0:40:48It's Mark again with his final lot of the day.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50The cricket ball and cap.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54- Where will you start me on this? - Come on.- 30? A tenner?

0:41:07 > 0:41:10GAVEL BANGS Oh...
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Well, you didn't score a century with that one, Mark,
0:41:13 > 0:41:15but it's better than a loss.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19It's the last lot of the day, Paul's dainty little trio
0:41:19 > 0:41:23of Victorian perfume bottle, buttonhook and penknife.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Where will you start me, 30? 50?

0:41:33 > 0:41:3918, 20, 25, 30.
0:41:39 > 0:41:4435, 40? No. 35, 38 if it's easier.
0:41:44 > 0:41:4738 I've got then, 38 and 40.
0:41:47 > 0:41:5040 I've got, 45, 50?
0:41:50 > 0:41:55- It's going a bit.- Strong now.- Are we all sure now with a bid of 45?
0:41:55 > 0:41:59GAVEL BANGS Well done. Well done.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Yet another small profit for Paul.
0:42:03 > 0:42:08- Come on, let's go. I need lessons from you on dealing.- Behave yourself!
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Our chaps started today's show with £200 each.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14It's been a mixed bag of results, but who is the winner?
0:42:15 > 0:42:18After paying auction costs,
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Mark made a small loss of £13.54
0:42:21 > 0:42:24giving him £186.46 to carry forward.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Paul, meanwhile, is nudging ahead by a whisker with a profit
0:42:30 > 0:42:34of £9.92 making him today's winner
0:42:34 > 0:42:38with £209.92 to start the next leg. Well done.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46Well, Paul... And listen carefully because I don't intend to say this very often.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48PAUL GUFFAWS
0:42:48 > 0:42:52- As you are the victor on this occasion...- Say that again?- No!
0:42:52 > 0:42:57On this occasion I will drive you but just listen, don't get used to it.
