0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts,
0:00:05 > 0:00:06- with £200 each...- I love that!
0:00:06 > 0:00:11..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 > 0:00:19The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23- There'll be worthy winners, and valiant winners.- Hello, ladies.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28So, will it be the high road to glory, or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:33- But there's nobody bidding! - This is the antiques road trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:36 > 0:00:41Today, we're out and about with antiques supremos Mark Stacey
0:00:41 > 0:00:43and Paul Laidlaw.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Their approach is somewhat disciplined.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Stacey, Private Stacey! - I might have to lie down.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52- To the fore! Show me those antiques! - Yes, sir.- Stacey!- Yes, sir!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54That's not an antique, boy!
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Oh, I love it when you're all commanding, Paul!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Antiques dealer Mark Stacey is extremely
0:01:02 > 0:01:04complementary of his road trip.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09I wonder if that's Mr Laidlaw when he first wakes up in the morning.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12And he is always exceptionally enthusiastic.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Oh, it's going to be one of those days, you know! I can feel it.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19This is Paul Laidlaw.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22He's an auctioneer that drives a hard bargain.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23How low can you go?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Much lower.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29And for a big man, he's in touch with his feminine side.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I've got to show the pinkie. Doesn't that work?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I'm not so sure, Paul!
0:01:35 > 0:01:42At their last auction, Mark enjoyed a couple of meaty profits.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47Hah! But it wasn't enough to beat the might of flying-high Paul Laidlaw.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53From his original £200, Mark has made a rather slow rise upwards.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57He has £335.06 to burn.
0:01:59 > 0:02:05But three-times-lucky Laidlaw has made an impressive wadge of cash.
0:02:05 > 0:02:12From his original £200, he has a wondrous £619.60 to splurge.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20Getting the boys from A to B is the Sunbeam Alpine GT.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25- This seat is horizontal, I'm that laid-back today.- Really?
0:02:25 > 0:02:30Paul, I know your face. You're lying to me.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32You're lying to me, Paul!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Mark and Paul are journeying over 300 miles from Sabden
0:02:35 > 0:02:39in Lancashire all the way south to Bridgwater in Somerset.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45On today's show, first stop is the Herefordshire town of Leominster.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48And they will auction in the spa town of Cheltenham.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52The history of Leominster dates back as far as the seventh century,
0:02:52 > 0:02:56but it really boomed with the wool trade in the Middle Ages.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Anyway, back to our loving road-trip friends.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05You're all heart, you know.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Come on, let's go and have some fun. - THEY LAUGH
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Muchas gracias!
0:03:09 > 0:03:10De nada!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I think I'm going to go this way, Paul.
0:03:12 > 0:03:18- In that case, I'm going that way. - See you later.- See you, then.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20To begin the day's shopping, the boys are going to scour
0:03:20 > 0:03:23the Secondhand Warehouse & Antiques Centre.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Mark's first plan of attack is to find out what sort of auction
0:03:27 > 0:03:30they're going to. Sensible.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31OK, it's an answer phone.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Answer phone.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40But the number is permanently busy.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44If I find out that's Paul Laidlaw on the phone to them,
0:03:44 > 0:03:49I'm not going to be terribly happy at all.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Aha.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Uh-oh!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54All the best to you. Bye.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Boy, did I do the right thing making that call. It's a specialist sale.
0:03:58 > 0:04:06Vintage textiles, costume and related, allied with 20th-century decorative arts.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10This is pretty damn focused.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14In fairness, I'm going to find Mark and tell him this, yeah.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Play the game!
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Very sporting of you, Mr Laidlaw. Well done.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Compadre, I phoned the auction house.- Oh, did you?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23I knew nothing about it, and I think I did the right thing.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Oh, well done. - Specialist sale.- Oh, yes?
0:04:25 > 0:04:32Vintage textiles, costume and related accessories, allied with 20th-century decorative arts.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Thanks for sharing that.- No worries, man. See you later.- See you later.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Well, that's jolly nice of Paul, isn't it, Mark? Isn't it?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Whatever I do, he's one step ahead of me.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Because I was phoning the auction house to find out - just as well,
0:04:47 > 0:04:51so anyway. So I think I'll just go home.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55I mean, I just can't do anything. I can't do anything.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Oh, boo-hoo, Mark! Don't cry. Pull yourself together, man, and get buying!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08What's this?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11That's quite sweet, isn't it? Very simply made.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Obviously, it's a representation of Christ on the cross.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19But this is a sort of rosewood here - maybe a coromandel or rosewood.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24And then this is chrome. Very angular shape.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29That screams one period for me - Art Deco. 1920s/30s.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I think that's quite fun.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35The other fun thing about it is it's only marked up at £15.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38You see, that's got to double its money, really.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Mark finds dealer Chris to talk money.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Chris - sorry, I found a really silly little thing.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- That's quite all right.- Well, not silly - it's just a bit of fun.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- I mean, I really like it. It's very Art Deco.- It is Art Deco, yes.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- You know, with the chrome, and the rosewood.- Yes.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- But I need to get it for 10 quid. - You need to get it for 10 quid. Well, I'm sure we could do that.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Could we do that 10 quid?
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- You can do that for 10 quid. No problem.- Oh, lovely. Look. I'll give you...
0:06:07 > 0:06:12That was easy peasy, Mark. Right, how's Paul faring?
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Right, right, right, right. I need to start finding things, that's what I need to be doing.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23What's wrong with you, Paul? You'll usually buying for Scotland.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Oh, not enough time!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I've got to buy something.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- I don't want to come out of the first shop with nothing. I've never done that before.- Oh dear!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Paul doesn't seem to have had his porridge this morning.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Mark, on the other hand, is firing on all cylinders.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52He's already moved on to his next shop just down the road
0:06:52 > 0:06:55in Leominster Antiques Centre.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Just getting a bit hot in here again.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01It's funny, the temperature keeps changing today. I'm going to ditch my coat for a minute.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Oh, diddums! He's such a sensitive soul.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10Oh, good Lord! I can't believe that.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I mean, there was a well-known designer in the 1930s called
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Mabel Lucie Attwell who produced lots of prints
0:07:17 > 0:07:21and lots of printed China for Shelley and things like this.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25And I've just spotted here - three bars of soap,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28believe it or not, in a little box,
0:07:28 > 0:07:32with Mabel Lucie Attwell prints on them.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Mabel Lucie Attwell was a British illustratoress and based
0:07:36 > 0:07:40her famous drawings of cute children on her daughter Peggy.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44They're unbelievable. "If you want to be loved, be loving", it said.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47It's the only way to be, Mark.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I must see these, actually. Where's Jeremy? Jeremy!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Owner Jeremy responds to the yell.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I've found something absolutely ridiculous which...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59you will think I'm barking mad.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Right.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Ah! These are my mother's.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Never!- They are.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I mean...
0:08:07 > 0:08:10You can still smell the carbolic or something in them.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I think they're absolutely amazing.
0:08:12 > 0:08:18"Best 'posh up' as folks all say - this may be a LUCKY day!"
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Well, hope springs eternal, Mark!
0:08:20 > 0:08:26How amazing is that! British Legion Industries. And they're five quid?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I have to have them, Jeremy.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I just have to have them, and do you know, I won't even ask for a discount.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36That's very kind. You could clean up, actually, couldn't you?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Do you know, I normally do the funny lines, Jeremy. Thanks - you've stolen that.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43No, that's my job!
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Paul will think I've lost the plot. I think I might agree with him.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49With two items in the bag,
0:08:49 > 0:08:53that should hopefully stop Mark getting in a lather.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Ha ha!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Back to Paul. He hasn't found any antiques.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05And he's not having much luck with the car, either.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Oh, thank goodness!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Paul's taking a breather from shopping
0:09:19 > 0:09:23and driving 30 miles away to Highley in Bridgnorth.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Paul is stepping back in time to the world of whistles and steam.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46The Severn Valley Railway was in the transport business
0:09:46 > 0:09:50for 101 years from 1862 to 1963.
0:09:50 > 0:09:56A group of railway enthusiasts formed the Severn Valley Railway Society at Kidderminster
0:09:56 > 0:10:02in 1965 to safeguard the heritage of this once-great industry.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Paul is meeting with visitor manager Nicky Vale.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I've got to wave!
0:10:07 > 0:10:08HE LAUGHS
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Holy Moses, they are beasts, are they not?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Yes, so you tend to get the real scale for size
0:10:23 > 0:10:25when you're sort of at ground level,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29because when you're at the platform you do see them from platform level.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- You don't actually get to appreciate how big in fact they are.- Of course.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33And how many can I see here?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Well, we've got eight locomotives here
0:10:35 > 0:10:39and we've also got the royal saloon which I'll take you round.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Ah! Shall we? I'm loving this!
0:10:44 > 0:10:48One of the star exhibits here is the royal saloon carriage,
0:10:48 > 0:10:52used by King George VI during the Second World War.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56This carriage enabled the King to travel to bombed areas within
0:10:56 > 0:11:00the UK and also to help raise the morale of the troops.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Well, here you have, Paul, this would be the King's personal valet's room.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09This is where he would be living, obviously
0:11:09 > 0:11:11because he was in charge of looking after the King,
0:11:11 > 0:11:15and there's enough work space for him obviously to help do his duties as well.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19So he would press the King's shirts and things in here as well.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- Then we have in here the King's personal bathroom.- My word.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27And I'll take you through now to the King's bedroom.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36So yes, as you can see, it was very ahead of its time with the air conditioning
0:11:36 > 0:11:38and the central-heating that was in here, and you can actually
0:11:38 > 0:11:44- appreciate the craftsmanship of the panelling in here well.- Indeed.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- It's very smart, isn't it? - It absolutely is.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49But even by today's standards,
0:11:49 > 0:11:54there is just a touch of modernity about it. Very clean, very elegant.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Dare I say minimal, spartan?- Yes.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Well, as I say, it was still austerity,
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- so it's not... It was very much a functional saloon.- Yeah.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09And what about his safety, if we're during wartime?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- What happens if the bad guys show up or whatever?- Absolutely.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Well, with that in mind, they built these effectively bombproof.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17This carriage was pretty extraordinary.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21The protection of the King was crucial, therefore
0:12:21 > 0:12:25the steel armour and plated shutters made it weigh 20 tons more than
0:12:25 > 0:12:28the standard carriage.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31OK, Paul. So here we have the living room,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35where many an important conversation went on with various
0:12:35 > 0:12:39heads of state and Churchill, the King, the Queen, Montgomery -
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- they would have all been in here during the wartime.- My word.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Yes, so in the middle of the war, there's business at hand,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49he's got his red telephone there.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53You know, "I need to speak to..." Sitting at his desk,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Replying to letters, making decisions,
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- a wee nerve centre on the move. - That's it, yes.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03It had to obviously be incognito,
0:13:03 > 0:13:08- so it had to fit in with the normal trains as well.- Yeah.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13So is there a possibility that this is scooting past your platform,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- and you wouldn't know...? - Absolutely, yes.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Well, it was in the crimson colour,
0:13:18 > 0:13:24- so it would be within the normal British Rail livery, yes.- Right!
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- You wouldn't know the King was coming.- No flags waving?- No, no, no.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29It's way more than just a royal carriage.
0:13:29 > 0:13:35- It's the time frame, the historical context that flavours it.- Yes.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44It's time to blow the whistle, wave goodbye to Paul,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46and find that cheeky Mark Stacey.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Mark is still in Leominster.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57He's found another shop, and it's owned by Sally.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Feel free to have a wander.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Lovely, I'll start at the top and work my way down.- Of course.
0:14:01 > 0:14:07- OK, if you need any help give us a holler.- Lovely. Mine is normally quite strong tea.- OK! Any sugar?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- One sugar, please.- One sugar - right.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Get your priorities right, Mark.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13The first thing I want to do is start stripping off.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Now don't get excited, OK? It's only the jacket.
0:14:15 > 0:14:21For now, but it depends how much I'll have to take off to get the right item.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25That would be one of your famous funny lines, I suppose, Mark.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30That's quite funky, isn't it, that chair? It's really funky!
0:14:34 > 0:14:35It's very 1960s.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Oops-a-daisy! Smarten up, Mark.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46It's obviously structurally sound, as it's taken my weight.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I think that's rather fun. It's quite comfy, actually.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59And this sort of elastic wicker. And it all looks OK.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05No maker's name, as far as I can see.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I think that's rather funky.
0:15:10 > 0:15:16"Bucket seat. Flower-shaped," it says. £72. I've never seen one.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20It's quite visual though, isn't it?
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- Sally?- Yes, Mark. - Could you pop up, dear?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Now, listen, I love this chair.
0:15:27 > 0:15:33- I don't suppose the dealer's here for that.- No, but 65?
0:15:34 > 0:15:3672 to 65.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40That is a very fair discount if I was buying it privately.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45I've got to think about what it would make at auction, you see.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48While Mark is pondering, he spots something else.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51You've got a sundial here.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55In bronze.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Gosh, it looks 1930s, doesn't it?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01With that sort of square sunburst type design.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06But it's actually got some Roman numerals here.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12MCM and XX. VIII.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15No, that's much later. 1978 or something.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20Oh, someone knows their Roman numerals. 1978, it is.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23It's not bad. It's priced at £42.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27I think sundials are quite commercial items, you know.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30And also, I like this.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34This is a really cute little garden ornament.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Nothing special when you constitute it's concrete really,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41but it's modelled as a SylvaC bunny rabbit.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44This bunny is in the style of SylvaC pottery bunnies,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47which were very popular in the 1930s.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50I don't think it's very old.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54But it's got quite a bit of growth and things on there.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56I think that's rather fun.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Priced at 15 quid.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03That's nothing, is it, really?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I can carry these down and show Sally and see if we can get a bit off.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Yes, come on. Let's take them down.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Sally has phoned the dealer who owns all the items.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19£45 is the very best for the bunny and the sundial.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24But Sally has been asked to close the deal on the capsule chair.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28I think I'll go for these two at 45 because I think they are quite nice.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30They are quite commercial.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33What do you think the lowest would be if I took the chair?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- It's marked at 72.- 45.- 45.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Could we get it for 40?
0:17:41 > 0:17:46- Go on then.- Are you sure? - You only live once, don't you?
0:17:46 > 0:17:51- Come on, have a hug.- Oh, it's worth it.- Thank you. You've been so kind.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- You're welcome.- I'd better give you some cash.- It would help. - So 95 I'm going to give you.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Well, after a day of hard graft, it's time for the chaps to turn in.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Nighty night.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09The boys are rearing to go and as usual they are being rather playful.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I don't think you bought anything yesterday.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15You can see I'm sitting lopsided because the wallet's that full!
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Exactly! Exactly! It probably will be after today, you jammy dodger!
0:18:21 > 0:18:25So far, Mark has spent £100 on five lots.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27The Art Deco plaque.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30The rare Mabel Lucie Attwell soaps. The capsule chair.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34The bronze sundial. And the bunny garden ornament.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Leaving a sum of £235.06 for the day ahead.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44And Paul? Well, he hasn't spent a single penny.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47That gives him a great big sack of cash.
0:18:47 > 0:18:53He has £619.60 to spend on antiques.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57First pin on the map today is Lower Broadheath in Worcester.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Mark's being dropped off by the gallant Mr Laidlaw.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Have a good day. - Absolutely.- See you later.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06# Land of Hope and Glory. #
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Sergeant Major Laidlaw!
0:19:07 > 0:19:09See you later.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16We'll catch up with Mark later, but for now there is a pressing need for Paul to buy some antiques.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22He's travelling 16 miles away to Evesham in Worcestershire
0:19:22 > 0:19:25and as usual, he's in high spirits.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29It will be all right. It will be good. It will be good.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32With zero antiques in his pocket,
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Paul really needs to get into gear and start buying.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Hello there. I'm Paul.- Right. I'm Mandy.- Pleased to meet you, Andy.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Are you the antiques manager? - I am indeed.- Most excellent.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Whose is the big plaster cat?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01That is one that Michael has had here for a while now.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Don't tell him that, Andy! Dealer Michael won't be at all pleased.
0:20:05 > 0:20:11I like that. It's plaster. And very nicely patinated.
0:20:11 > 0:20:18This is just paint but they've given it an almost Verdi green patination
0:20:18 > 0:20:27and then they have put highlights in gilding to lend the feel
0:20:27 > 0:20:33of patinated bronze rubbed at the highlights, showing the core metal.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35That's cleverly...
0:20:35 > 0:20:38It's very nicely sculpted and it's cleverly finished.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43And Paul's spotted another attractive female.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45She's quite foxy.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54Yes. Terracotta body. Green painted.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Art Deco inspired.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Somewhat athletic if not downright contorted.
0:21:02 > 0:21:09And she's got the longest legs in Christendom. Quite sexy.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I think that's been overpainted. It has.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16It's been repainted but it was green to start with.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18It was that malachite green.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I think I can forgive it that, to be honest with you.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29And we've got a pricetag of £88.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34And then something a bit bonkers catches his eye.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44What on earth is going on there? I'm winging it here.
0:21:44 > 0:21:51We've got a donkey with wicker panniers filled with fayre.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Here's the key element.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00Holly and the donkey is crying out, "A Merry Christmas."
0:22:00 > 0:22:04What is going on there? But it gets worse.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I don't think he likes it.
0:22:06 > 0:22:12These insane barrels and bottles jumping, chasing, running.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Utterly grotesque. What does it say on the back?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Nothing. Is it damaged? No.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25It's insane, isn't it? I mean, really.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30What on earth? I love that.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I absolutely love that.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Oh, Lordy!
0:22:34 > 0:22:38£55 is a lot of money for a Victorian plate.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Make no bones about it. Is it a lot of money for this?
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Get me another one!
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Paul decides on a figure of £120 for all three.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50The question is, will the dealer agree?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53A quick phone call later and Andy has the answer.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58You must be a very persuasive man. He's actually agreed. 120.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- It's a deal then?- It is. It's a deal.- Thanks for your help.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Good man.- No problem at all. - Spot on.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Blimey! This combination buy gives Paul a total of £243
0:23:07 > 0:23:10off the original ticket prices.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15Gee whiz! Paul's antiques prowess reigns supreme today.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Back to Mark.
0:23:18 > 0:23:24He was dropped off by Paul earlier in Lower Broadheath, Worcestershire.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Mark is visiting a very special cottage where one of Britain's
0:23:28 > 0:23:31greatest composers was born on 2nd June in 1857.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Sir Edward Elgar.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40The cottage was established as a museum in 1934
0:23:40 > 0:23:44by his daughter, Carys Elgar Blake.
0:23:45 > 0:23:51The Elgar Birthplace Museum has unique and nationally important
0:23:51 > 0:23:54collection of manuscripts, diaries, books and personal possessions.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Mark is meeting with Chris Bennett to find out more.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- Good morning. I'm Mark. - Good morning. I'm Chris. Welcome to Elgar's birthplace.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- I'm looking forward to this. - Let's go in.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Steep stairs, Chris.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17Yes. We're going into the room where Elgar was born on 2 June, 1857.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- But this is a landing, isn't it? - It is, yes.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25It appears to be a landing now. This room was rather smaller in 1857.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- So it would have been another bedroom, I guess?- It would, yes.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33It would have been quite crowded in here. There were five of them in the family. Five children.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36So it would have been nice and cosy!
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- And how long did Elgar actually spend here?- Only a very short time.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43He was born here but the family left when he was only about two and a half years old.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45So he wasn't there for long?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48He wasn't here for long at all but the place came to mean a great
0:24:48 > 0:24:51deal to him and he used to revisit throughout his life, actually.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55The museum has one of Elgar's prized possessions.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59As a young man, Elgar was just a local musician.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01He was a teacher and a violinist.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- And we do have one of his early violins here.- Really? - Yes. Here it is.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08There's nothing particularly special about the instrument.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It's not a valuable instrument as such.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16It's just that it was Elgar's violin and he played it around Worcester and Malvern in the 1870s and 1880s.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19We associate Edward Elgar with such masterpieces
0:25:19 > 0:25:23as 'Pomp and Circumstance' and the 'Enigma Variations'.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27But there is one particular Elgar creation
0:25:27 > 0:25:30with real romantic sentiment behind its composition.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35When Elgar was a young man he was just a local teacher.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37He gave violin and piano lessons.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39That, in fact, is how he met his wife.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43She came for piano lessons and she was rather taken with her new piano teacher.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Not only that, she was a bit of a poet
0:25:46 > 0:25:48and she wrote a little poem about that experience.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Oh, wow. To him?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Yes, that's correct. We have it here. It's called 'Love's Grace'.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Wonderful! And this is all in her handwriting?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58That is Alice's handwriting, yes.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00And what did he do to respond to this?
0:26:00 > 0:26:04He responded with a piece of music called 'Love's Greeting',
0:26:04 > 0:26:06which is translated to 'Salut d'Amour'.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Oh, wow!- A most beautiful piece. - So romantic, isn't it?- It is.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15- It's lovely.- So what happened to this piece of music? - It became very successful.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18It earned a fortune for the publisher, if not for Elgar,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21because he sold the copyright for a few guineas.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24But he did eventually earn money from it when he recorded it.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31MUSIC: "Salut d'Amour" by Edward Elgar
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Oh, it's lovely, isn't it?- It's beautiful. So evocative of the time.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- So sentimental.- Yes.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I prefer to use the word, 'romantic' rather than 'sentimental'.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46No, it is. It is very romantic.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49This was Elgar's engagement present to Alice.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52What a lovely gift. It goes on today.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01While Mark has been enjoying the great masterpieces of Elgar,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Paul is still shopping in Evesham.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Judy is holding the fort for the owner today.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12- Hello there. How are you doing? - Fine, thank you. And you? - Very well, thanks.
0:27:15 > 0:27:23I see here what appears to be a 19th-century ladies fan.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26In painted silk.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31The problem is, it's priced up, as far as I can see, at £85.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34The origins of the decorative fan vary.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38The most interesting being inspired by a bat's wing
0:27:38 > 0:27:41spread across a lantern from seventh century Japan.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46That is rather splendid.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51No breaks to the sticks. Structurally good.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57I don't think there's much to worry about there.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Is the owner about?
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Judith makes a quick call to the owner to get the very best price.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08- Mrs Laporta has agreed £30 is the bottom price.- £30.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13- I'll take a punt at that. Excellent. Thanks very much.- Thank you. - I'll give you some money.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14I think he's back on a roll.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19That makes a nice four lots for Paul's bag of antiques goodies.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23And with Paul still in shopping mode,
0:28:23 > 0:28:28he's travelling 12 miles away to Dodwell in Stratford-upon-Avon.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Glorious afternoon.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31It certainly is.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36Stratford Antiques and Interiors have been established for over 12 years.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Can Paul find his fifth lot in here?
0:28:43 > 0:28:47And very quickly, he bumps into David, one of the owners.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51He has a fancy little Art Deco number that might just tempt him.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Thank you. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01There's more going on than I suspected at first.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06These are rather nice. Almost butterfly-like.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11- It's got to be French, hasn't it? - I think so, yes.- Gallia metal.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15And the cockerel. All the clues and indicators are there.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Sweet.
0:29:18 > 0:29:25My problem is redundancy, insofar as it's purely a decorative object,
0:29:25 > 0:29:30but it should be something that you could at least envisage using on occasion.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35How ambitious are you on price though? Is this an expensive object?
0:29:35 > 0:29:38It has 175 on it. But we can negotiate.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42There is negotiating and then there's you slinging me out
0:29:42 > 0:29:46into the car park saying, "And don't come back!"
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Can we come to an arrangement?
0:29:49 > 0:29:53- Give me an option on that at 50 quid on the way out of the door.- OK.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Good man. Thank you very much.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I suppose that means you bought it then. Well done, Paul.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04But now, it's that time we've all been waiting for.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07The boys get to check out one another's treasures.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I think you ought to close your eyes, Paul.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16That's a rare form of capsule chair. Never seen one.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18- Flower head?- I love it.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21I love capsule chairs. Absolute classic.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24I just thought it was so sweet. It made me smile.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25But I must show you these, Paul.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- Yes.- Because I just fell in love with them.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- Bars of soap with Mabel Lucie Attwell prints on them.- Rare.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37- I would have passed that by and that would be folly.- Five quid.
0:30:37 > 0:30:43- Good one. Like it. What the...? What have you done?- Don't get excited.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- I just thought it was a good-looking piece.- It's all right.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- What did you pay for that?- 40 quid.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50That could do 80 quid.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54And, of course, might star buy is the reconstituted...
0:30:54 > 0:30:55Marmaduke rabbit.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Marmaduke rabbit. Not SylvaC this time.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02Very much like a SylvaC. I paid a fiver for it.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- You're not going to lose on it. - I think it is 20 or 30 quid.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- I'm with you on that.- As a humorous bit of nonsense, it's good.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- It's cool.- Right, on to yours.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Oh, I think a lot of it is me.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- So, it's Italian, is it?- It's French.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- The cockerel. - Oh, the cockerel.- Yeah.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29I adore the subtle quality of that.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31I think it is really nice.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Art Nouveau is iffy but that is really nice quality, actually.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- I'll tell you, what I do love is the plate.- I thought that was you.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- I absolutely adore it.- Isn't it insane? Have you seen the legend?
0:31:42 > 0:31:47- A Merry Christmas. I adore it. And it was cheap?- 10.- Oh, Paul.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52- Who cares?- I love it. - I am liking my big lioness.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- It's made of plaster, is it? - It is, yeah, yeah.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58But it's a big beast.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01There's nothing wrong with that. I mean, again, what did you pay for it?
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I've stumped up for that.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- 90 squids.- Size is on its side.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09She is plaster?
0:32:09 > 0:32:15She is. But, again, French, art terracotta, period.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20- Freakishly long legs. - Freakishly long.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Actually, she does look in agony.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31- We've got an interesting selection, Paul.- Again.- We've done it again.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32There is chalk and cheese here
0:32:32 > 0:32:35and I think it's going to be a hoot again at the auction.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- It's always a hoot, man.- Almost. Listen.- Kiddo.- Shall we skedaddle?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Swim?- Off you go. - Do a Reggie Perrin?- After you.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42Nae danger!
0:32:45 > 0:32:47But what do they really think?
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Totally at ease with this.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53He is going to win. Well done.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56The concrete rabbit.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57I'm sorry, what?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59The Antiques Roadtrip.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01This isn't the "I was drunk and I stole a piece
0:33:01 > 0:33:04"from somebody's garden for a laugh" trip. What?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09It's been an ambitious fourth leg with the boys battling it out
0:33:09 > 0:33:14from Leominster via Highley, Lower Broadheath, Evesham, Dodwell
0:33:14 > 0:33:19and, finally, full steam ahead to the spa town of Cheltenham.

0:33:50 > 0:33:54The Victorian plaque - not really my taste but it's a novelty piece
0:33:54 > 0:33:57and they have a way of taking off.

0:34:57 > 0:34:59Well, there's £5 profit.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01£10 more than I thought!
0:35:01 > 0:35:03There we are.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06I've warned you about thinking.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08It's not good for you!
0:35:08 > 0:35:12It's not really the big-money profit he was looking for.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Next, it's Paul's turn with the roaring lioness.

0:35:49 > 0:35:50HE SNORTS
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Oh, dear! what an unfortunate noise!
0:35:53 > 0:35:56You don't need to be so nervous Paul, or nasal!
0:35:56 > 0:35:58It was only the first lot.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59I'm really gutted and upset.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04You're so sincere, Mark!

0:36:28 > 0:36:31- That's why we come. - We'll come back again.
0:36:32 > 0:36:37Next, it's Paul's wacky donkey platter.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39£20. Start me at £20.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42To be honest, I wish I'd seen it, Paul.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44A very unusual plate. £10.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Start me off someone.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- It is in freefall.- No, it's not.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51It must make a lot more than that.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56Where's the 12? At £10. This isn't much it. At £10. 12 here. At 12.
0:36:56 > 0:36:5815, is it? At £12.

0:37:06 > 0:37:07Oh, dear, Paul!
0:37:07 > 0:37:10The bidders weren't impressed by little donkey.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17I'll miss that. I would have taken that home myself.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18I thought it was lovely.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21It's Paul again.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26Perhaps the delicious Art Deco dancer will perk up the profits?
0:37:26 > 0:37:30Start me at £30. £30 bid, thank you. Five here.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22What? I'm not upset, Paul.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25I'm nowhere near upset.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Oh dear! I think someone is upset.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25Quick, Jenny, run while you can!
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Nice little profit, though, Mark.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Finally, it's our last lot of the day
0:41:32 > 0:41:35with Mark's Mabel Lucie Atwell soaps.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37- Here it is, Paul. The last lot. - Very unusual.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57- I can't believe it!- And selling.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00I'll have to be grateful with a £15 profit, but I must admit,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03I thought there'd be a bit more interest online.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05I thought it would be all Internet.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Look on the bright side, Mark. It wasn't a thumping loss.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- Well done to you.- Cheers.- Let's get out of here, shall we?- Let's do it.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Mark started today's show with £335.06
0:42:19 > 0:42:25and after paying auction costs, made a teeny-weeny profit of £31.20.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30Mark has just £366.26 to carry forward.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33It will get better.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37Paul, meanwhile, started with £619.60
0:42:37 > 0:42:42and made a respectable profit of £162.44.
0:42:42 > 0:42:47Paul has a mighty £783.04 to take forward.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Enough to make you smile.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Congratulations! Another victory, Paul. Well done!
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Profits across the board.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56Yes, ups and downs.
0:42:56 > 0:43:01- And it's dry. Do you want to drive? - That's the main thing. Oh, go on. Why not?
0:43:06 > 0:43:12Next time on the Antiques Road Trip, Mark and Paul head for the former seafaring city of Bristol.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16Mark nearly gets trapped.
0:43:16 > 0:43:17Keep the door locked, Mo.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Keep the door locked.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23And Paul has a very delicate approach when naming his price.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27I'm trying to get that slaughtered. I want that for 10 or 20 quid.
