0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts
0:00:04 > 0:00:09with £200 each, a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13- Going, going...gone.- Yes!- I think I've fallen in love with a brick.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18- The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat. - Yes!
0:00:18 > 0:00:21There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:27- I feel antiqued out. - So will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- Charlie!- Sorry about that.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40It's the start of a brand-new Road Trip with a brand-new expert.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44# Pretty woman, walking down the street... #
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Christina Trevanion may be a Road Trip rookie,
0:00:46 > 0:00:53but this shrewd Shrewsbury lady is the head of the jewellery department in a long-established auction house.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55That looks a bit painful.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00With plenty of antiques experience, she isn't afraid to use her female charms to get what she wants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03I'll give you a second kiss.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05She's friendly.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Her competitive companion is Road Trip stalwart Charles Hanson,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12a fully-fledged auctioneer from Derbyshire.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17# Cos every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man... #
0:01:17 > 0:01:20With a passion for the traditional, an eye for detail
0:01:20 > 0:01:22and the memory of a goldfish.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27I've bought a really, really... What did I buy? What did I buy? Sorry.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Good grief! With a starting budget of £200 each,
0:01:30 > 0:01:36young Christina and old hand Hanson are hoping to shake things up a bit. This is going to be fun.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42You are a young lady. Maybe you can galvanise the antiques market to go hip.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Hip?- Go happening.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Oh, lordy!
0:01:47 > 0:01:52In this battle of the sexes, Charles and Christina will go the distance
0:01:52 > 0:01:55in their beautiful, vintage 1969 Morris Minor
0:01:55 > 0:02:00if they survive the delightful spring weather and the gear changes, that is.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03CRUNCHING OF GEARS
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Charlie!- Sorry about that.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13The route for the week takes our intrepid road trippers from Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire
0:02:13 > 0:02:18over peak and dale to their final destination of Cobridge in Staffordshire,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20covering approximately 600 miles.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24But on this leg, our experts will start in Whaley Bridge
0:02:24 > 0:02:27and end up at auction in Liverpool.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32Situated in the High Peak, Whaley Bridge is a small, but vibrant town nestling in the hills
0:02:32 > 0:02:34of the Goyt Valley.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38I feel we might get lucky round here. This is a good place to start.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Something in your waters? - Yeah, there is.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Hardly surprising seeing as you are on Hanson territory, but will it give him the upper hand?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- We're here?- You've got one small shop on the left-hand side.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Have you been here before?- No, I've got no idea.- Are you sure?- Positive.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- There's also one big shop over there.- Right.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01This is where you do this and you begin to feel the energy and the desire.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07- They say small is beautiful. Do you want the small shop? - I think I'll go small.- I'll go big.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- I'll start small... - OK, on your marks, get set, go!
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Stop bossing the new girl about and get along to your first shop.
0:03:15 > 0:03:21- This is my first shop.- Yes, we know that, Charles. It's called Finders Keepers... Losers, weepers!
0:03:21 > 0:03:26- Hello, sir.- Good morning.- Is it your shop?- It is.- I'm Charles Hanson. - Hi, Charles. My name's Paul.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- Paul, is that your clock?- Yes. - Is it for sale?- It is for sale. - Made in China?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- It's made in China in the 1960s, I presume.- Yeah, it's quite stylish.
0:03:35 > 0:03:41You've got this wonderful, chrome outer ring which has had some tarnishing and rust.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I do like the way the numbers are almost in plastic,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47the Arabic numerals. They've got a real '60s feel.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53And what appears to almost be a Bakelite case, but it is a wooden, ebonised case.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Could our chap have fallen in love with this timeless timepiece?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- I don't like it.- Oh, no. - How much, Paul, is it?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- £45.- Look at me. Paul, look at me.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- That's cheap.- Eh?- I think that's really cheap.- It's a real gamble.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10It's just so...awful. Not being cruel, Paul, but it is.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- It's just got that look.- If you hear it chime, you'll buy it.- Really?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- Yeah.- Would you take £30 for it?
0:04:17 > 0:04:22How about we do this? If I get it to chime, it's 35. If I don't, it's 30.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24So the money's on the bell.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Has that overwound it?- No, it hasn't. It does that. It's fine.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- So if it chimes at five o'clock, it's £35?- Yeah.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Going, going... - CLOCK CHIMES
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- Sold, Paul.- Excellent.- £35. Thanks ever so much.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Ding-dong! And with that, it's time to head to his next shop on foot,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48making the most of Britain in springtime.
0:04:48 > 0:04:55Oblivious to the blizzard, Christina is getting stuck in at Whaley Bridge Antiques with owner Damien.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Have we got anything new and exciting?
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Cat badges?- I've just had... I've got cat badges.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06There's a little box of dogs that came out of an old lady's house.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Are you wanting something you can make a few quid on?- Hmm...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13They're not old, but there are loads of them.
0:05:13 > 0:05:19This hodge-podge of hounds even includes an egg-cup collie. Hardly pedigree, do you think?
0:05:19 > 0:05:25- These are all resin, really. - They are, but they're very cheap. - Are they?- You're after a profit.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- What are we talking, "cheap"? - The box, 20 quid.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31For a load of dogs?
0:05:31 > 0:05:36- For a load of dogs.- That does sound cheap, but they are resin.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39But I do like that box behind you.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45- # Hallelujah! # - Not convinced by a box of plastic dogs, Christina has a vision.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- This came from a local church. - So this would have been an alms box.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53The 19th century alms box was used to collect cash for the poor.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58There's a lovely groove on the top where the people have put the money in.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03Yeah, it just looks worn and tactile. It's lovely. I like that.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Yeah.- How much is that?- 90 quid.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- £90? That sounds like a lot of money.- I know.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10That's almost half of her budget.
0:06:10 > 0:06:16- At auction, I see that at maybe £40 to £60.- Right.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Yeah.- So what can you do me that's quite close to that?
0:06:19 > 0:06:23She's a trier all right, but then so is he.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28Well, it might cost you a kiss, but you can have it for £60.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Cheeky!- A kiss for £60?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Go on, 40.- No, 60.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- That's what it cost me.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Well, surely, I should be paying 40 and then you get £20 for a kiss.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Surely! I'm not selling my kisses cheap.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48A peck on the cheek is all I ask for. My wife will be watching.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I think your wife needs to watch you a bit closer, Damien.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55I love it, but I think it's a bit rich. I don't think I'll make any money out of it.
0:06:55 > 0:07:01- What can we throw in for £60? - 60 and take the box of resin dogs.
0:07:01 > 0:07:07- They don't... - You'll make something out of those. - Yeah, like a bonfire, eh? Woof!
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- 50.- I can't take 50...
0:07:10 > 0:07:1350 and the dogs. Go on, go on.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Go on. And you're my first one.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18You're my first, first one.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Go on. £50?- £50.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Sure?- The box and a kiss.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30- If we said £49 on the box and £1 for the dogs...- Absolutely fine. - Is that all right?- Yes.
0:07:30 > 0:07:37- I'll give you a second kiss.- Good luck.- Fresh!- Thank you very much. You're a star. My first one down!
0:07:38 > 0:07:44With Christina up and running, Charles can now try his luck with the dashing Damien.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Pucker up, Carlos!
0:07:46 > 0:07:52- Good morning.- Good morning. - How are you? Charles Hanson. - Damien Wylde.- Good to see you.
0:07:52 > 0:07:58You've got some really good things. You've got some coins, some nice flatware. There's everything here.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03- Where do I start?- Have a look round and shout out if you want anything. We'll see what we can do.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08- Thanks, Chris.- Chris? Who's Chris? - Damien.- Sorry, Damien.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10He never was one for names, old Charles.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- What you've got here is a silkwork.- It's silkwork.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16It's probably been done in the 1880s.
0:08:16 > 0:08:22What is so nice, you've got battles going back to the Peninsula, the Waterloo, Inkerman...
0:08:22 > 0:08:27- What a nice thing!- The silkwork is for the Royal Lancastrian Regiment
0:08:27 > 0:08:34and commemorates the battles they've taken part in, but it looks like it's been through the wars itself.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37This, I love. What really puts me off is this condition.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- How much is it? - I've got 60 on it.- Yeah.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44However, as it's you, how about 25 quid?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- You can't? Crikey me! - Temptress.- Crikey me!
0:08:47 > 0:08:50It's your lucky day, Carlos. Quick, kiss him!
0:08:50 > 0:08:56- They say, amongst Derbyshire people, you can do a deal. That is one good deal.- You'll make money at that.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02It might well make money, Damien, but young Charles has been distracted by a George III chest.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04And he does love his drawers.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- The chest of drawers... - You like the chest of drawers?- I do.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Three short and three long drawers on this blade feet.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- This is 1790, 1800, lovely colour. - The boards are good on the back.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21Yeah. The scars of a patina which has been there for two centuries.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26These handles aren't original. They don't look the most attractive.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31- It should have little, round, wooden handles.- I like the chest because it's period.
0:09:31 > 0:09:37- I also like the...- The silkwork, the colours.- But I think the silkwork is too ropey in its condition.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Yes.- Which leaves me with one big chest.- Yeah.- It's here, Chris.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Damien!
0:09:43 > 0:09:44What's the best price?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Well, you see, I've got 320 on it.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- For this?- Yeah.
0:09:49 > 0:09:55I'm going to charge you £180 and I'm going to throw the Lancaster colours in. Now shake my hand.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57I'd love to buy the chest, Chris.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Damien!
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Sorry, Damien. Damien, I'd love to buy the chest.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I think the chest is worth 100 to 150.
0:10:05 > 0:10:12I'd like to pay you 20, 40, 60, 80... £100.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Another 20 and we've got a deal.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- Which is 20 for the chest and for the picture?- Just for the chest.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20I feel, Chris...
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Damien! Crikey!
0:10:22 > 0:10:29Damien, sorry. I feel it's a chest, Damien, which at auction is worth 100 to 150, so I'll leave it.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- I tell you what we'll do.- Yes? - Take the chest of drawers for 100.
0:10:33 > 0:10:39- Don't say that to me now. - Yeah, take it.- The roller-coaster of the romance of the Road Trip.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44If you had remembered his name and offered him a kiss, you might have got there a bit quicker, Carlos.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49And if I said for Queen and country, here's an extra £20...
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Yes.- And I'll take the picture as well.- Yes, you can.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- We've got a deal. So that's £120 all in.- All in.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57For the picture and the chest. Are you happy?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59The chest is brilliant.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00I think that'll do two easy.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05It's a wonderful Georgian chest and if you can't buy history for history's sake
0:11:05 > 0:11:11- with a passion for what you enjoy, when can you?- It's shabby chic. Enjoy, my friend.- Thanks, Damien.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- There's your 120.- Thank you.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Blimey, that's half his budget on the chest alone! He's bold, that boy!
0:11:17 > 0:11:24At last, spring has sprung and just down the road, Christina has wasted no time at all in the shop
0:11:24 > 0:11:28where Charles bought his swinging '60s clock from Paul. Stand by.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I do like the Schweppes box.
0:11:30 > 0:11:36Everybody wants to buy the Schweppes box, but I like to keep them in the shop just to contain things.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Obviously, they're in keeping. - I like that a lot.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- You want to keep it?- I do. - There's a challenge.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- Uh-oh!- No price would tempt you? - Maybe. Everything's got a price.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49But if I had to let it go, £25.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- And the contents? - No, I don't think so.
0:11:53 > 0:12:00- Go on, the contents and the box for £25.- I don't think so. Charles said I had to watch out for you.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- I can see why now.- Cheeky monkey!
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Word travels fast in Whaley Bridge. Go easy on him, girl.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Would you let it go for any less?
0:12:11 > 0:12:16- The bottom price would be 20. - I'm not going to make any money on it at 20 quid.- She's a terrier.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- A fiver? - LAUGHTER
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Please.- No.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Would you take any less?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Would you buy it at 15?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Over to you now, isn't it?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I'd give you ten quid now for it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- What about the other fiver?- No. I don't think I've got another fiver.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41£150 at the last count, actually.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- Go on, a tenner. It's fun. - Not for Paul, it isn't.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47A tenner. Go on.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50He's crumbling. Leave the shirt on his back, girl.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Go on.- OK, but...
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- But?- Deal.- Yeah?- Is it a deal?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Is it a deal? There was a "but" there somewhere.
0:12:58 > 0:13:04There is a "but". I'd just like to apologise to all my customers that have tried to buy the crate.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Has it been very popular? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- They can come to the auction. - Absolutely.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- It's a deal.- It's a deal. - Thank you, Paul. You're a legend.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Do I get the contents?- No, sorry. - It was worth a try.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Quit while you're ahead, young lady.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23With three lots already under his belt, young Charles has made tracks
0:13:23 > 0:13:26to Manchester for an arresting experience.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31The Greater Manchester Police Museum is housed
0:13:31 > 0:13:36in one of the city's earliest police stations, painstakingly restored
0:13:36 > 0:13:40to reflect the realities of policing at the turn of the 19th century.
0:13:40 > 0:13:46An offshoot of the town council, Greater Manchester Police Force was formed in 1839,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49ten years after the Peelers of London.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54One of the earliest forces, it was met with suspicion and resistance.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Punishments were harsh and often outweighed the crimes.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Charles is meeting curator Duncan Broady to find out more.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06- Nice to meet you.- Charles Hanson. I feel like saying, "It wasn't me."
0:14:06 > 0:14:09It's quite daunting. I can see some handcuffs over there.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13And clearly, it's all in keeping to what was then,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16back in the 1870s, real punishment.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22The tricky part was once you made the arrest, you had to walk through the streets with your prisoner.
0:14:22 > 0:14:28You had no van or car to collect you, so handcuffs were vital to make sure that the person couldn't escape.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31So here I am at the desk back in 1879
0:14:31 > 0:14:35and I could be brought in for some probably quite minor crimes.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Yes, indeed.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42- It could be "drunk and incapable". - Yes.- Or "drunk and disorderly".
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- It wasn't me.- Or there was even one that the Manchester Police had
0:14:46 > 0:14:48which was "drunk and refusing to fight".
0:14:48 > 0:14:51This was somebody in such a state of intoxication
0:14:51 > 0:14:57that they couldn't even summon the strength to fight the officer before they were arrested.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02I'm quite a coward, so maybe that's me in that regard. But I'm no drunk. Can you tell?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Of course not, Carlos. But if you did tipple too much,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09there's one place where you could've ended up - in the chokey.
0:15:09 > 0:15:15In these cells, you would spend the night before going to court the next day to the magistrates.
0:15:15 > 0:15:21- So that's why there's only four cells?- Four cells, but as many as 12 people per cell on a busy night.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- 12 per cell?- Yes.- And I can see my name is up there as well, Duncan.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31- Yes, we have it on the board there. - It wasn't me.- I think you need to go inside, Charles.
0:15:31 > 0:15:38Charles Samuel Hanson, you are hereby charged and will be suitably detained at Her Majesty's pleasure.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41It's actually quite comfortable.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45It's like almost being on a plastic sun lounger.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51But I think, after a while, you would become slightly uncomfortable.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56- I do hope someone remembers to free the Road Trip One.- Let me out.- Ah!
0:15:56 > 0:15:59After playing his "get out of jail" card,
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Charles and Christina are back together and heading to Southport.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08Founded in 1792, Southport was originally sparsely populated
0:16:08 > 0:16:10and dominated by sand dunes,
0:16:10 > 0:16:17but that all changed at the turn of the 19th century with the onset of the Industrial Revolution
0:16:17 > 0:16:22and the influx of day-trippers who came to enjoy the seaside in the sunshine. No time to paddle today.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Christina may be the new kid on the block
0:16:26 > 0:16:28but she sure knows how to haggle.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32With £140 in her pocket, she's now at the Royal Arcade.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Oh, my goodness!
0:16:34 > 0:16:39- Hello.- Hello.- Hi, I'm Christina. Nice to meet you.- Nice to meet you too. Welcome to Southport.
0:16:39 > 0:16:45- Thank you very much. It's Caroline? - Caroline.- Caroline and Christina. Goodness me!
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Where do I start?- Help yourself. - Browse away, OK.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53With 60 different dealers under one roof, there's plenty to choose from.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56There's so much.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01You'd be moaning if there wasn't. Come on, Christina. Chop-chop!
0:17:01 > 0:17:04This is really quite unusual with this yellow glazing.
0:17:04 > 0:17:11I've not seen one with that bright colour before and, to a collector, that could be quite interesting.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Christina has spotted a limited edition piece of Prattware,
0:17:15 > 0:17:21issued as a souvenir from the British Empire Exhibition of 1924, courtesy of stall-owner Roy.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24That's quite fun and unusual with the yellow, really unusual.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- It is, yeah.- I quite like that.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32- That little crack in there worries me slightly. - Probably just a firing crack.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Yeah, we've got a crack in there.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39It's been extended there. What's your price on that one?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42The very bottom figure would be 66.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44£66?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Here she goes. - Could you do it for 60?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- No.- Go on.- I can't.- Go on.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52£60 would be brilliant. I'd be happy at 60.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- 65 would be... That would be it.- 65?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58It looks like she's met her match.
0:17:58 > 0:18:0065... Go on then.
0:18:00 > 0:18:06- Let's go £65. I'll shake on that with you. £65 and wish me lots of luck.- All the best.- I'll need it.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10And once she starts, there's no stopping her.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15- "Very rare piece, Art Deco at its best." I like that. - It's quite different.- Yeah.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18It's quite fun. I like that.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23The Art Deco cigarette or cheroot holder has a price tag of £36,
0:18:23 > 0:18:29but Christina is hoping she can get the price down to £15 with a phone call to the absentee stall-owner.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- Will you do 20?- I just don't see it at a profit at 20.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37She doesn't think she'll make the profit. He'll meet you halfway at 18.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Halfway?- Halfway?
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- 15, please, would be brilliant. - She's begging now. She's on her knees. 15?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- OK, it's a winner.- Yay! Brilliant.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49All right. Bye, Paul. Bye.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- Fantastic.- There we go. How was that?- Art Deco at its best.
0:18:53 > 0:18:59Well done. Fantastic. You're a lady of negotiation skills. Can I take her with me? She's brilliant.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01No, you cannot. Leave her alone.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Lovely. Thank you.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07Meanwhile, just down the road, her rival Carlos is in John Nolan Antiques -
0:19:07 > 0:19:10where he is really up against it.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14John, I might need your help. I've got £45 to spend.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Time is the essence.- You want me to choose something for you?
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- I love these, but these are too much, aren't they?- There's a pair of those.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25They're lead-glazed earthenware and they're quite nice.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- Are they drug jars?- They are, yes. They come from a chemist.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- They're almost like a Whieldon glaze.- They're beautiful.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Whieldon glaze, after the 18th century potter Thomas Whieldon,
0:19:37 > 0:19:42is a brown earthenware effect, usually achieved with manganese oxide,
0:19:42 > 0:19:47but with a price tag of £90 for the pair, they might not turn out to be best-sellers.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- I bought them in about 1980 in Liverpool.- Yeah.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- And I've still got these... - Really?- ..in 2013.
0:19:55 > 0:20:01- So you've had these in your shop... - I've had those in my shop for the best part of...- 33 years? Oh, my!
0:20:01 > 0:20:05That means one thing to me - cash them in, get them sold.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10- I'll tell you what. I'll keep one. - Yes.- It'll be a remembrance of your visit.- Yeah.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14And you have one. £45 and we've done a deal.
0:20:14 > 0:20:21But you know, John, sometimes in life, in love, you don't want to break up. You want to stay together.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26You don't want to get divorced. They've been together here in your shop since 1980.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Wouldn't you want to say goodbye to them both and say,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33"Goodbye, missus, goodbye, mister, let's wave them both off together?"
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- John, look at me. - At £45, they're a good buy.
0:20:36 > 0:20:42- For the pair?- Goodbye. They're yours.- Are you being serious? - Yes.- You've bought them.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Ha! BOGOF, eh? Buy one, get one free.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47For £45, let's take them on.
0:20:47 > 0:20:53- OK, you'll be known as the man who sold these.- Who bought something which maybe was a big mistake.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58And with that, Charles has spent every penny of his £200 budget
0:20:58 > 0:21:00and the shopping is all wrapped up for our experts.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Christina started out with £200 and has spent £140 on five lots,
0:21:06 > 0:21:11consisting of a pine alms box, a selection of dog ornaments,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13a soft drinks advertising crate,
0:21:13 > 0:21:18a Pratt pot lid and base and an Art Deco cigarette holder.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Ooh, a thrifty little cash reserve of £60 to boot.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27Charles also started with £200 but he's blown the lot on four lots -
0:21:27 > 0:21:29a risky strategy, but will it pay off?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33He bought a retro clock, a chest of drawers,
0:21:33 > 0:21:38a Victorian military silkwork and a pair of pottery jug jars.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Now, this is the bit where you tell us what you really think of each other's items.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46I love how Charlie's antiques are a complete reflection of him.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50He's gone completely wacky with his clock, which is Charlie through and through.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54He has spent a lot of money, so we'll see what happens on the day.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59The dogs, I know, are a girl's best friend and also a man's best friend.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04They are a nice pack of dogs, but they're not Beswick, they're not Doulton. They're just ornamental.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10Next time, Christina, put a bit more oomph into the whole aspect of buying collectable.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14I think they're so cheap, even I would have said "no".
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Really? There's only one way to find out who's bought best,
0:22:17 > 0:22:22as they head off to auction 18 miles south in the city of Liverpool.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24# Pigeons, widgeons, seagulls, sparrows
0:22:24 > 0:22:26# All the birds come here to nest... #
0:22:26 > 0:22:31Liverpool may be famed for its Liver Birds, but it's the Liver Dogs that are bothering Charles.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34How much is that doggy in the window?
0:22:34 > 0:22:39- Those dogs are so cheap and I know they're going to woof away. - I don't know about that.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41That's giving me a bit of a worry.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Our experts go head-to-head at Adam Partridge Auctioneers & Valuers.
0:22:45 > 0:22:51Today's sale is an antiques, collectors' items and specialist maritime auction.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54How exciting! It's very nerve-racking, isn't it?
0:22:55 > 0:22:56It's my nervous energy.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Over to today's auctioneer, Adam Partridge.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04First up for Charles, it's the George III chest,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08but will it be a drawer for both the saleroom and the online bidders?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Handsome-looking chest... - Handsome-looking chest.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- Give me 60? 50, I have. At £50. 55 now?- Come on.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20- At £50. Where's 5? Online at 55. - Online. It's going to Jamaica!
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- 70? 70 bid.- Keep going. - At 5. 80? 80 bid. At 5 now?
0:23:24 > 0:23:28- 85 online.- Keep going.- Worth more. 90 bid. At £90.- Keep going.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- At 5 online, 95.- Good. - At 95, it's still cheap.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- Come on, it's cheap. - At 95. Give me 100?- Come on.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- 100.- Keep going.- 110, sir? 100 only.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42- Go on.- 110's online.- Yes!- Well done. - It needs one more to break even.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- It is cheap. - Is there any more? At £110.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49110. Come on. At £110. Any advance now?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52At £110. Anyone else?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I'm off and running, going, going, going...
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Gone! 110.- Well done.- Which means I've lost a fiver. Happy days(!)
0:23:59 > 0:24:03It might be a £10 profit, but that will be wiped out
0:24:03 > 0:24:04once the commission is paid.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08First up for Christina, it's the 19th century pine alms box
0:24:08 > 0:24:12with religious inscription. Let us pray!
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I'm starting at 25. I'll take 30. And 5. And 40.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19And 5. And 50. Lady's bid, 50. 5 behind.
0:24:19 > 0:24:2160 now. 65.
0:24:21 > 0:24:2470. 75. 80.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29- Keep going. Keep going. Go on. - 75. I'll take 80 somewhere?
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Final chance. We're selling at the back of the room at £75 in white...
0:24:33 > 0:24:38You are on the road and you've just blown away the master. Well done.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43A handsome mark-up. Christina proves she's not green about the gills.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Back to Charles now and his next timely offering.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- £20, the clock. It must be worth that.- It must be worth that.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- It's got the style, it's got the look. It swings.- Very stylish.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Sir, do you like it? - £20?- No.- Give me 10 then.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Let's see some bidding. 10. And 15, sir. And 20. Have another one.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- It's 20 in the cap. At £20. - I'm in trouble.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08It's in the middle at £20. Anyone else? At 20.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13- Are you all done?- It swings. - At £20, the clock at 20. Any more?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- It's fine.- When you hear that bang,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21it's like nailing a nail into a coffin.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26For whom the bell tolls, Carlos. The clock fails to strike a note with the bidders.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29It didn't swing so much as... Swung.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32They say swing high, swing low and that swung low.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36The drinks will be on Christina if she can repeat her success
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- with the pine advertising crate. - £20, the crate?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- £20?- He's got £20.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- No, he hasn't...- I've got 10 bid. I'll take 15.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46At 15 here. £15, the crate here.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- At £15. Any more? At £15.- Well done.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- At £15...- Come on, Adam. - You've done it.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Anyone else?- You haven't made a loss yet.- 20 at the back there. 5 now?
0:25:56 > 0:26:0025. And 30? 25 down here in the cap.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05- £25. Last chance?- I like it.- At £25 in the cap then...- What a man!
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- I don't believe it!- Schweet!
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Next up for Charles, it's the Victorian military silkwork,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16but will it help win the battle?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- There we go. - It's started. I've come alive.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- At £20.- Come on, come on, come on.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- It's surely worth a bit more. 25.- Yes!
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- 30 bid. 5?- One for the road! - £30. Anyone else now?
0:26:28 > 0:26:33- At 30... Thanks for coming. - Quite right. Hey, that's my line!
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Anyone else? It's not expensive at £30. We'll sell at £30 then...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Brilliant. That's £10 profit. I'm back in business.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Not a storming victory, but a profit nonetheless.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Next up for Christina is that rather unusual Pratt pot lid and base.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53I'm bid £30. I'll take 5 now. 30 bid. 5. 40.
0:26:53 > 0:26:5740 with me here. At £40. Any more now?
0:26:57 > 0:27:01- At £40, it's my bid.- Come on! - I'll take 5 in the room.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Are you all done then? - No!- He's trying.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07We're selling at £40 for the lid with base...
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Ouch!
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Christina's luck runs out as she makes her first loss
0:27:14 > 0:27:17which means Charles could be in with a shout.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Come on, Carlos, time to play catch-up with your next lot,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24the pair of Whieldon-style pottery jars.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Give me £100 for them?- Come on. - £100 for these?- Come on.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- 80?- Come on.- Come on.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33£80? 60? Someone give me £50 to start off? £50?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- 50.- You've got a bid.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- I'm off and running.- And in profit at your first bid.- I'm delighted.
0:27:39 > 0:27:45- £50. Where's 5 now? Online or in the room?- There's got to be another bid.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- Come on, online. They are cheap. - At 50.- I think they're cheap.- Anyone?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52If they make 50, I'm making a big loss.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- I have to pay commission. - We're selling at £50...
0:27:56 > 0:28:01Oh, oh... I've been shot, I've been shot. The gavel's down.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Young Carlos takes another blow in the battle of the sexes
0:28:04 > 0:28:09as once again, the tiny profit will be wiped out by commission.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Some might think Christina is barking mad
0:28:12 > 0:28:14with this next little lot.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19Always popular. Bid me £10 for this canine collection?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- £10 online. At £10. I'll take 15? - £10!- 10 is bid, internet.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25At £10. At £10.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- Come on!- Anyone else for these, surely?- Sell them.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31- More, more, more! - We're selling online then at...
0:28:31 > 0:28:36- 15 seated. 15 on the sofa. - 15.- At £15 then.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38£15. Selling at... 20 online.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42- Oh, no!- £20. 5 in the room. 25 in the room this time.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- 25?!- At £25. You're all out. It's this side now.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- At £25...- It's slightly embarrassing. - That's fantastic.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54I don't believe it. £25. Put it there. Put it there.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58A tail-wagging profit
0:28:58 > 0:29:02as newbie Christina teaches old dog Hanson some new tricks.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05You are in... What are you in? You're in the money.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- Not hugely yet. - You're in the money.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09One lot to go.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Christina's final lot is the Art Deco cigarette holder,
0:29:14 > 0:29:17but will it leave her with a smoking profit?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Bid me £10?
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Oh, it's all gone quiet. Come on, come on, come on.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- Yes, sir.- 10 is bid.- 10 online.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- At £10.- Well done.- Thank God!
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- At £10. Anyone else? - Come on, one more, one more.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35- On a cheroot holder modelled with a crouching cat.- Keep it there.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39- Selling online at a tenner... - There goes the cat.- Is that good?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41It might be.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43- At £10...- One more, one more.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Well done. Well done, partner. Well done.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50You can't win 'em all, Christina,
0:29:50 > 0:29:55a lesson that you'll learn well here on the Road Trip. Just ask Charles.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59All I know is that you won today and I'm playing catch-up.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- The first and last time, don't worry.- Hanson is playing catch-up.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- When the going gets tough... - Go and have a cup of tea.- Yeah.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11Charles Hanson started this leg with £200 and after auction costs,
0:30:11 > 0:30:14he has made a loss of £27.80,
0:30:14 > 0:30:20sending him through to the next round with a less than satisfying £172.20.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Newcomer Christina Trevanion also started with £200.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30After costs, she has made a profit of £3.50... Wow!
0:30:30 > 0:30:37..taking her total to £203.50 and she claims the first victory of this Road Trip.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- On to...- Manchester.
0:30:40 > 0:30:46- You know, if I can't make money in Manchester...- Yeah?- ..when can I? - Yeah, baby.- Yes, baby.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51'On this leg, they'll travel from Manchester,
0:30:51 > 0:30:55'making their way to auction in Birkenhead, on the Wirral.'
0:31:00 > 0:31:03'The world's first industrialised city,
0:31:03 > 0:31:07'Manchester is today famed for its music, sport and culture.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12'But it's shopping for antiques that brings our experts here.'
0:31:12 > 0:31:14- CAR DOOR SLAMS - OK, I'll race you in.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19'Well, with just £172.20 to your name, you do have some catching up to do, Charles.'
0:31:19 > 0:31:24'The Levenshulme antiques village has 20 individual shops to explore,
0:31:24 > 0:31:26'so happy hunting!'
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Wow.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- Must stay focused. Not here to shop. - 'No, you're not, Christina.'
0:31:33 > 0:31:36What do you think? Does suit me?
0:31:36 > 0:31:42'Oh, smokin'! I'm happy to see she's not taking this competition sitting down.'
0:31:42 > 0:31:44That's really nice. I like that.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47That's quite fun.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50'Ticket price is £25. She's smitten
0:31:50 > 0:31:53'but even with £203.50 in her mittens,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56'can Christina persuade shop owner Sally to do a deal?'
0:31:56 > 0:32:01I saw this chair. It caught my eye. I really quite liked it.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- Do you know anything about it? - I think it's an artist's chair,
0:32:04 > 0:32:09because it's got this little seat where you'd keep your paintbrushes.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Is there any flexibility on the price?
0:32:11 > 0:32:15I was thinking, at auction, it'll make maybe £15.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18And I need to make a profit against that pesky Charlie Hanson.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- Righty-ho.- What's your thoughts? - Um, well...
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- I could do it for 15.- It's a deal. Thank you, Sally, you're a star!
0:32:24 > 0:32:27'Christina's off the mark, but Charles needs help
0:32:27 > 0:32:31'and puts in a sneaky call to the auctioneer.'
0:32:31 > 0:32:36My great passion, James, is often buy big, buy monumental, buy furniture.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38And, um, I like buying it.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42Don't buy furniture? OK. Don't touch it. Thanks very much.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44See you in Birkenhead.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47'The auctioneer's top tip - don't buy furniture.'
0:32:47 > 0:32:50'That's easy advice to follow, Charles.'
0:32:51 > 0:32:54'Or maybe not.'
0:32:54 > 0:32:57'Having already bought furniture, Christina seeks something different
0:32:57 > 0:33:01'and Barry's shop might be just the place.'
0:33:01 > 0:33:04My goodness, there's a lot of stuff here.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08'Yeah, I'll say. Clever Christina's spotted some silverware.'
0:33:08 > 0:33:13I'm trying to put together a lot of silver plate that will do well at the auction.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17And, um, I think Barry might be my man.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21'While Christina gathers her riches,
0:33:21 > 0:33:23'Charles has decided to ditch the furniture
0:33:23 > 0:33:28'and follow Christina's lead. That sneaky boy!'
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Don't you dare... Keep... - Is it for sale?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Keep...
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Go away! Go away!
0:33:34 > 0:33:35No, this is... Barry's my mate now.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Yeah? How are you, mate? How are you, mate?
0:33:38 > 0:33:42All falling apart very, very swiftly.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Ladies first. I'm sorry, Barry. I'll let you do a deal with Christina.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- Like the plate, by the way.- Get out!
0:33:51 > 0:33:54'Barry's got them fighting over him, now.'
0:33:54 > 0:33:57'Well, he is a man with some bright ideas.'
0:33:57 > 0:34:00I'm thinking, that's quite cool at the moment, isn't it?
0:34:00 > 0:34:05'Christina's interest has been sparked by a pair of enamelled industrial downlighters.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08'But can she get them for the right price?'
0:34:10 > 0:34:14- So, they were marked up at... - 50.- For the pair?- No.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- Yeah.- That's each.- Oh, go on, Barry. - You can have them for 30 each.
0:34:17 > 0:34:23But we would sell them as a pair. I'd want to put them in as a pair.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- Give me 50 quid the pair. - 50 quid the pair. Go on, Barry.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30Thank you very much. I like those. Let's look at the silver plate.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34'Can he do her another deal with a silver lining?'
0:34:34 > 0:34:3620 pound for that one.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41- 20 for that one.- Oh, Barry! What? - Fiver each for those.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- What's that one got on it? - Three pound.- Three pounds on it.
0:34:44 > 0:34:50I think the bowl is probably more saleable than the basket.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52What about...
0:34:52 > 0:34:5420 for that?
0:34:54 > 0:34:56'Ooh, he's happy with that. I think.'
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- OK.- 20 quid?- Yeah.
0:34:58 > 0:35:03- Thank you ever so much.- Thankin' you.- You're a star. Off I trot.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05There you go.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08'She's one happy customer, walking away with a job lot.'
0:35:08 > 0:35:12'The silver-plated pedestal rose bowl, a pair of trumpet vases,
0:35:12 > 0:35:15'nut dishes,
0:35:15 > 0:35:19'and Barry's thrown in an early 20thC silver napkin ring.'
0:35:19 > 0:35:21'All for £20.'
0:35:21 > 0:35:24'Good going, Christina. Right, Charles! You're up.'
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Barry, is this all for sale outside here, as well?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- Yeah.- Everything.
0:35:29 > 0:35:35I quite like this man, down here. He's tired, he's a bit discoloured..
0:35:35 > 0:35:37'He's a gnome, Charles.'
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Where did he come from? Did your father make him, you say?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- Father-in-law made him, yeah. - Really? Back to what, the 1930s?
0:35:43 > 0:35:48- No, probably '50s.- There's also one more down there, Barry, as well.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Another garden gnome. If I bought the two, what's your best price?
0:35:52 > 0:35:58- £10 the pair.- £10 the pair. If I said a fiver for the two together?
0:35:58 > 0:36:03- No. No, you've got to pay a tenner the pair.- Meet me halfway. Eight.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- I'm not meeting anywhere. Tenner the pair.- Get out of here!
0:36:06 > 0:36:10'Hm! Stalemate. And after some consultation,...
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- Charles can see it now. - '..Charles buys one gnome for £5.'
0:36:16 > 0:36:20OK, Chris. Yeah, I know. You and me now, mate. We'll ditch Christina.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23OK, Chris. Happy? Yeah.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24We're off. See you later.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29'A talking gnome called Chris? I think he's losing it, that boy.'
0:36:29 > 0:36:32'With that, he's off to his next shop.'
0:36:32 > 0:36:36'Meanwhile, Christina's heading for a history lesson, by foot.'
0:36:36 > 0:36:40'The Manchester Jewish Museum is the only one of its kind outside London
0:36:40 > 0:36:43'and can be found in a former synagogue.'
0:36:45 > 0:36:49'The museum tells the story of Manchester's Jewish community.'
0:36:50 > 0:36:54'Having been popular with traders since the 1740s,
0:36:54 > 0:36:58'the city's cotton trade soon attracted Jewish entrepreneurs,
0:36:58 > 0:37:03'who left a lasting legacy in Manchester and further afield.'
0:37:03 > 0:37:07'Christina's come to hear all about it from curator Alexandra Grime.'
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- This is beautiful.- It is. - It's breathtaking.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15- It was built in 1874, the building. - 1874?- It was originally a synagogue, as you can probably tell.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20- Yeah.- The community moved out in 1982 and it became this museum.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25'The synagogue would've been a place of worship for the Sephardi Jews
0:37:25 > 0:37:30'and is built in the style of their Spanish and Portuguese ancestors.'
0:37:30 > 0:37:32'At the end of the 18th century,
0:37:32 > 0:37:36'families from places like Corfu and Syria settled in the city.'
0:37:36 > 0:37:41'As the population grew, they built up communities, places of worship
0:37:41 > 0:37:44'and their businesses, particularly in the clothing industry,
0:37:44 > 0:37:47'and they went from strength to strength.'
0:37:47 > 0:37:50One really interesting guy is called Benjamin Hyam.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53What he's doing is selling ready-made garments, proper suits,
0:37:53 > 0:37:57people can afford the suits and it really catches on,
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- these ready-made, rather than tailored items.- OK, gosh, wow.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- So this is the start of the high street shop.- Absolutely.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- By 1851, he opens a shop like this. - Is this his shop?- This is.
0:38:07 > 0:38:13Charles Dickens mentions this shop as does Benjamin Disraeli. They visit when they're in town.
0:38:13 > 0:38:18I never would have had Disraeli as a man with a suit off the rack. Wow.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22'In the decades preceding World War One,
0:38:22 > 0:38:26'the population in Manchester increased, as Jews fled persecution.
0:38:26 > 0:38:32'Fearing a backlash, the established community tried to Anglicise the new arrivals,
0:38:32 > 0:38:38'opening schools to teach English and introducing them to some good old British staples.'
0:38:38 > 0:38:42They had clubs aimed at organising their recreation,
0:38:42 > 0:38:47- so they had brass bands and played cricket and things like that. - Brass bands!
0:38:47 > 0:38:49- Good old Lancashire tradition. - I love it!
0:38:49 > 0:38:54Which is why this item is fantastic. This is actually a washboard,
0:38:54 > 0:38:56brought over in 1910.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01You can see it's very worn. That's because it was never used as a washboard.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06Leon actually used it as a cricket bat. I think it's such a great story
0:39:06 > 0:39:11- He's come from Eastern Europe and made his washboard into a cricket bat.- Very resourceful.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13No better example of Anglicisation than that.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19'With only a gnome called Chris to his name,
0:39:19 > 0:39:21'Charles hits the shops again.'
0:39:21 > 0:39:23'This time, in Sale.'
0:39:24 > 0:39:27'A thriving commuter town in Greater Manchester,
0:39:27 > 0:39:32'Sale boasts the 250-year-old Bridgewater Canal.'
0:39:33 > 0:39:38'At its peak, the canal carried more than three million tons of traffic,
0:39:38 > 0:39:41'much of it fuelling the Industrial Revolution.'
0:39:41 > 0:39:45'Today, it carries a lighter load, of ducks and leisure barges.'
0:39:45 > 0:39:52'Charles is pinning his hopes on the Manchester Antiques Company, and owner John Long.'
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- Hello.- How are you?
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Good to see you. I'll go for a wander.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58Thanks, John.
0:39:58 > 0:40:03'This could spell disaster for Charles. He's in a room full of furniture,
0:40:03 > 0:40:05'but can he resist?'
0:40:05 > 0:40:08The fact is I've been told in no uncertain terms, by James, the auctioneer,
0:40:08 > 0:40:11"Don't buy furniture."
0:40:11 > 0:40:13So, maybe you wave it goodbye.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18- So long.- 'By Jove, I think he's got it at last.'
0:40:18 > 0:40:22That's a very nice, unframed oil on canvas.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27- True.- A portrait of a gentleman with his telescope,
0:40:27 > 0:40:30with a sailing vessel in the background.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32How much would that be, if I asked you a price?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- £75.- God.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37OK, I'll give it some thought.
0:40:39 > 0:40:44'With his nemesis Christina in the lead, Charles has a fight on his hands
0:40:44 > 0:40:47'and spots the perfect piece to take into battle.'
0:40:47 > 0:40:52Maybe if I turned up to reveal my wares, wearing this,...
0:40:55 > 0:40:57..she might take note of me.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00'Oh, yeah? This replica 15thC suit of armour
0:41:00 > 0:41:03'would have been made in the early 20thC
0:41:03 > 0:41:06'for educational or theatrical purposes.'
0:41:06 > 0:41:09'Crikey. Is Charles arming himself for war? He looks the part.'
0:41:09 > 0:41:13Christina, I'm ready for Birkenhead.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16'Or perhaps pistols at dawn.'
0:41:16 > 0:41:20This is the time of William the Fourth, it's George the Fourth.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23It's a duelling type pistol.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26And, um, it's 180 years old.
0:41:26 > 0:41:31And you can see that because this handle is just about to fall off.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33But in a... Oops! It has fallen off, actually.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37- 'Silly boy!'- Might have to buy it now, regardless.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41It is pretty tired, but I like it as it's in its original condition.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45It could never be fired now and it's purely a relic.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48And it could be cheap.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53'He's gone GUN-HO in this place, with three items in his sights.'
0:41:53 > 0:41:56'The canvas, circa 1820,
0:41:56 > 0:41:58'the coaching pistol and the armour
0:41:58 > 0:42:00'all belong to John's son Wayne.'
0:42:00 > 0:42:05'Can our Carlos cut a deal over the phone with our John... Wayne's son.'
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Wayne, it's Charles Hanson. If you don't make an offer, you never know.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12And I've got £167.20.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16There's no way you could do me a deal for all three, is there?
0:42:16 > 0:42:21Wayne wants you. I'm hoping son and fatherly love can do me a deal.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- You better win, he said.- Huh? - You'd better win.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27- Is that a deal?- It's a deal, yeah.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31'It's victory for chancer Charles.'
0:42:31 > 0:42:34- I've got 167 and 20 pence.- Yes.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Could you leave me a pound? Make you 166.20?
0:42:38 > 0:42:42I've got to go into Cheshire tomorrow with a pound.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44'Now, that's pushing it.'
0:42:44 > 0:42:47I'll pay you my entire budget for a pound change.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- OK.- Going...- Going...- Going. - Gone.- Sold!
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Thanks, John. Come 'ere, John. Thanks, John!
0:42:52 > 0:42:56'It's enough to melt a heart of steel, this.'
0:42:56 > 0:42:58'But wait, there's more.'
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- Crikey. These aren't part of the armour, John?- Yes.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02Well, that's a bonus.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04As you say, en garde!
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Oh, my goodness.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09That's bigger than mine.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12'Boys will be boys.' I think you'd best be off.'
0:43:14 > 0:43:19'Our experts' next stop is the market town of Knutsford.'
0:43:19 > 0:43:23'Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086,
0:43:23 > 0:43:25'Knutsford is perhaps best known
0:43:25 > 0:43:30'as the home of 19thC Cranford novelist Elizabeth Gaskell.'
0:43:32 > 0:43:36'Christina is heading to the aptly named Knutsford Antiques Centre.'
0:43:36 > 0:43:43'With three floors to explore, can this jewellery expert find a hidden diamond in the rough?'
0:43:43 > 0:43:46'But soon her cup runneth over.'
0:43:47 > 0:43:51Oh, that's lovely. It's Charlie, look, Charlie dancing.
0:43:51 > 0:43:58'This 19thC Staffordshire polychrome mug is decorated with couples dancing a jig.'
0:43:58 > 0:44:01'Ticket price, £35.'
0:44:01 > 0:44:05There's a little crack there which would be a bit of a concern.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08'A cracking piece indeed.'
0:44:08 > 0:44:11It's never going to make me a fortune, but it's a great print.
0:44:11 > 0:44:15You can really sense that you're in the middle of the dance,
0:44:15 > 0:44:17that enthusiasm and vibrance...
0:44:17 > 0:44:21They're having a great time, aren't they? Proper shindig there.
0:44:21 > 0:44:25'If you're buying that mug, best seek out manager Gordon.'
0:44:25 > 0:44:30- These little chappies caught my eye. - Yeah.- I thought they were fun.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33- Now, Gordon,...- Yeah? - Bearing in mind it's cracked,...
0:44:33 > 0:44:35'Oh, I see what she did there.'
0:44:35 > 0:44:39What's your thoughts on...? It's marked up at £35.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42'Here she goes.'
0:44:42 > 0:44:45I need to be able to make a profit on it at auction
0:44:45 > 0:44:48and at auction, I can see it fetching about 20 quid.
0:44:49 > 0:44:54- So what d'you want to pay for it? - 10.- No way. No way, I'm sorry.
0:44:54 > 0:44:59- 'Don't take him for a mug.' - What's your absolute best price?
0:44:59 > 0:45:02- About 30. - 30? Can you come down any more?
0:45:02 > 0:45:05- Perhaps 28. That's your limit. - Is absolutely that it?- Yeah.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08- What about 25? - I couldn't take that much off.
0:45:08 > 0:45:11- Go on.- Cash, then. - Cash? Oh, yes, of course.
0:45:12 > 0:45:17- All right, I'll do it for 25.- You're a legend. Thank you very much, sir.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19'She's good at this bargaining lark'
0:45:19 > 0:45:23'Now, with four lots, she's catching up with Charles and hitting the road.'
0:45:26 > 0:45:31'But this time, our delightful duo are heading to nearby Congleton.'
0:45:31 > 0:45:34'Sitting at the foothills of the Pennines,
0:45:34 > 0:45:36'surrounded by beautiful countryside,
0:45:36 > 0:45:39'this is a popular, historic market town.'
0:45:39 > 0:45:44'Clutching his last pound, Charles is dropped off...
0:45:44 > 0:45:45- Bye.- Bye.
0:45:45 > 0:45:50'..to fend for himself, at the Victoria Mill Arts Centre.'
0:45:50 > 0:45:52Sounds better - 100 pence.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55It's not a pound. 100 pence.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58'Hm! What a cunning bit of PR, eh?'
0:45:58 > 0:46:02'But will it be enough to convince store owner Geoff?'
0:46:02 > 0:46:04- That's quite nice.- It is nice.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07It's garish. To some people, it's unsightly.
0:46:07 > 0:46:11But it catches the age, doesn't it?
0:46:11 > 0:46:14'This stylish Art Deco vase is circa 1930.'
0:46:14 > 0:46:17'Problem is, it's also circa £15.'
0:46:17 > 0:46:21- That's 1,500 pence, isn't it? - That's £15.- £15.
0:46:21 > 0:46:26- To you, Charles, it's a tenner. - £10, yeah, well, we're close.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29No blemishes. No chips.
0:46:29 > 0:46:30And I love it.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34But it's priced at £15 and all I have is that.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36One solid pound.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38And it's in good condition.
0:46:38 > 0:46:42Would you, sir, actually take one pound for it?
0:46:42 > 0:46:46Normally, no, of course. But this is exceptional, so I will.
0:46:46 > 0:46:49You're happy for me to have that vase for a pound? Really?
0:46:49 > 0:46:53It's a no-brainer. I'm going to flip you the pound, shake your hand.
0:46:53 > 0:46:57- Here's that pound, up it goes, that's yours.- Thank you.
0:46:57 > 0:47:01- That's mine.- Pleasure. - And I'm absolutely overjoyed.
0:47:01 > 0:47:05'Thrilling, eh? It has "great deal" written all over it.'
0:47:05 > 0:47:09'With Charles now penniless, it's over to Christina.'
0:47:09 > 0:47:14'And she's making her way from Congleton to Wheelock.'
0:47:14 > 0:47:17Named after the River Wheelock,
0:47:17 > 0:47:19'this little village is surrounded by countryside.'
0:47:19 > 0:47:24'Can Christina up her game and charm Richard, in Hidden Treasures,
0:47:24 > 0:47:25'into giving her a bargain?'
0:47:25 > 0:47:28Hi. I'm Christina. Nice to meet you.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32What have we got that's a bit fresh, that will make me a fortune,
0:47:32 > 0:47:36that I can beat Charlie Hanson with? Come on! Hit me with it.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39'Careful, Christina. There's a brick in there.'
0:47:39 > 0:47:41Hey, what's the brick?
0:47:41 > 0:47:44The Royal Wedding of Charles and Diana. It's one of a run of bricks
0:47:44 > 0:47:50that was used for a prison that they actually laid the foundations for.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53A Royal Wedding prison brick!
0:47:53 > 0:47:56- How much is on that?- Er, £22.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59I think that might be a little bit risky.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01'The brick's no building block for profit.'
0:48:01 > 0:48:04'But can Christina see money in this early 20thC till?'
0:48:04 > 0:48:07'Ticket price, £25.'
0:48:07 > 0:48:08This is quite a sophisticated one.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11The ones I've seen before haven't got a till roll with them.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14You would've just had your cashier's drawer.
0:48:14 > 0:48:18And it's still got the workings in the top of it as well.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21So I'm quite pleased. I think it's quite fun.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24- 'She likes it!' - As it's my first Road Trip...
0:48:24 > 0:48:26'Can Richard resist her persuasive charms?'
0:48:26 > 0:48:30- £25 sounds like an awful lot of money.- Does it? Oh.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33Go on, what's your best price?
0:48:33 > 0:48:37- 20.- For a newbie? Any less?
0:48:37 > 0:48:40- I'll do it for 15.- Will you? - Yeah.- £15.
0:48:41 > 0:48:45- Go on, you've got yourself a deal.- Great.- Brilliant.
0:48:45 > 0:48:49'Ker-ching! A deal at £15 for the pine till.'
0:48:49 > 0:48:51'Right, Christina, are we off?'
0:48:51 > 0:48:54I think I've fallen in love with a brick!
0:48:54 > 0:48:59- 'You've done what?'- No, I can't buy a brick. That's stupid. - £5 and it's yours.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01A pound. I'll give you a pound for the brick.
0:49:01 > 0:49:02I'm going to lose money on it.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05- Go on, then.- Really? - I'll do a pound.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07I can't believe I've just bought a brick!
0:49:07 > 0:49:09'She's only gone and bought a brick'
0:49:09 > 0:49:13Thanks very much. Oh, God. I'm never going to live this down.
0:49:13 > 0:49:19'Let's hope she's laying some foundations for a decent profit with that purchase!'
0:49:21 > 0:49:25'With everyone shopped out, let's get a measure of what they bought.'
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Charles spent £113 and is offering up five lots,
0:49:28 > 0:49:31featuring a stone gnome called Chris,
0:49:31 > 0:49:34a 19th-century twin-barrel pistol,
0:49:34 > 0:49:37an oil-on-canvas with maritime interest,
0:49:37 > 0:49:41an Art Deco vase and a suit of armour, complete with swords.
0:49:44 > 0:49:48Christina is also presenting five lots, but at a cost of £126.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51A pair of enamel downlighters, a job lot of silverware,
0:49:51 > 0:49:54a commemorative brick for the wedding
0:49:54 > 0:49:56of His Royal Highness Charles and Diana,
0:49:56 > 0:49:59and an artist's chair paired with a pine till.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02But what do they think of each other's offerings?
0:50:02 > 0:50:05Christina's bought some really steady items
0:50:05 > 0:50:07and Christina is my steady Eddy.
0:50:07 > 0:50:11I'm convinced, with her £1 brick and other items, she'll make profits
0:50:11 > 0:50:14But I'm not in to just be steady.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16I'm in to really impress Christina and go all out
0:50:16 > 0:50:19or to say to Christina, "At least I tried."
0:50:19 > 0:50:23I'm surprised at how mediocre Charlie's stuff was.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25I thought he'd go a bit wacky. And then...
0:50:25 > 0:50:28he revealed his literally knight in shining armour,
0:50:28 > 0:50:31which I think will absolutely annihilate me.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33'Well, there's only one way to find out,
0:50:33 > 0:50:37'so onwards and upwards to the auction in Birkenhead.'
0:50:38 > 0:50:42If you saw me, dressed in the saleroom in that suit of armour,
0:50:42 > 0:50:44what would you think that body is worth?
0:50:44 > 0:50:47I would think it's got to be better than how you're dressed currently.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49Oh, thanks(!)
0:50:49 > 0:50:53'The town of Birkenhead runs along the bank of the River Mersey
0:50:53 > 0:50:56'and has boasted a ferry service for over 800 years,
0:50:56 > 0:51:00'when Benedictine monks would have gone back and forth to Liverpool,
0:51:00 > 0:51:01'rowing.'
0:51:01 > 0:51:04- Good luck, partner.- Good luck. - Auction number two.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06Auction number two. Let's go.
0:51:06 > 0:51:12'Our daring duo are going into battle in today's general sale at Kruger Gibbon.'
0:51:12 > 0:51:16'Over to the first of today's two auctioneers -
0:51:16 > 0:51:18'moustachioed James Gibbon.'
0:51:18 > 0:51:20'Let battle commence!'
0:51:21 > 0:51:26'First up is Christina, but will it be treasure or travesty?'
0:51:26 > 0:51:28I'll start at 10. £10? 10 I have.
0:51:29 > 0:51:3212 I have. 14.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34- 16.- My heart.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37- 16, new bidder at the back.- Come on!
0:51:37 > 0:51:40- 18. The lady's back in.- 1,800 pence.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42- 20 by the door.- Good price.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44She's back again. 22.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47I'm selling it, ladies and gentlemen. £22.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50- It's a rollercoaster. - 'Ow!'
0:51:50 > 0:51:54'More of a travesty, actually, as that £2 profit will be wiped out
0:51:54 > 0:51:56'after auction-house costs.'
0:51:57 > 0:52:02'Another one now for Christina, the 19thC Staffordshire mug.'
0:52:02 > 0:52:05'Can auctioneer Adrian Kruger help JIG her into a profit?
0:52:05 > 0:52:08Start me on this, please, at £15.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10- Come on!- 10 to start, thank you.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13- You've got 1,000 pence.- 12 I have.
0:52:13 > 0:52:1514 I have. 16. 18.
0:52:15 > 0:52:18- 20.- Ooh!- 22.
0:52:18 > 0:52:2020 I have. £20 it is.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22Breaking even.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25- Well done. - Darling, I paid £25 for it.
0:52:25 > 0:52:29- Did you? I thought it was 20. - 'Oh, do pay attention, Charles.'
0:52:29 > 0:52:34'It's going downhill for our girl with her second loss of the day.'
0:52:34 > 0:52:38'Can Charles do any better? He's certainly all fired up.'
0:52:38 > 0:52:40- £10 I have.- Come on.- I have 12.
0:52:40 > 0:52:4214.
0:52:42 > 0:52:4416. 18. 20.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47- 22.- Excellent.- 24. 28.30.
0:52:47 > 0:52:4932. 34.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52- 36. 38. - Buy history and you live the dream.
0:52:52 > 0:52:55- Do they realise the handle's falling off?- Sh!- 44.
0:52:55 > 0:52:59- £44 I have.- Well done, Charles. Brilliant.
0:52:59 > 0:53:01I'm selling at 44.
0:53:01 > 0:53:05- Thank you very much.- How much did you give for it?- A tenner.
0:53:05 > 0:53:07- Oh, well, very good.- Thanks, mate.
0:53:08 > 0:53:12'Even he's impressed. And with that, Charles is off!'
0:53:14 > 0:53:17'Can trusted friend Chris do any better for him?'
0:53:17 > 0:53:19Start me off at £10 on the gnome.
0:53:19 > 0:53:24Tenner. Thank you. A lady with class and distinction. 12, thank you.
0:53:24 > 0:53:2712. Are we going 14? 14.
0:53:27 > 0:53:2916.
0:53:29 > 0:53:3118. 20.
0:53:31 > 0:53:35- They're all over each other. - Like a rash.- 22.
0:53:35 > 0:53:3724. 26.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40- Keep going, Chris.- 28.
0:53:40 > 0:53:4130.
0:53:41 > 0:53:4432. £32.
0:53:44 > 0:53:46I'm selling at 32.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48- Sold to you, madam.- Well done, you.
0:53:48 > 0:53:52'£27 profit there, Charles. Now, that's GNOME joke!'
0:53:54 > 0:53:58'Back to Christina. She's trying to build up profits, brick by brick.'
0:53:58 > 0:54:01Who'll start me on this one at £10?
0:54:01 > 0:54:05- Come on.- Five to start, thank you. - I'll take it at five.
0:54:05 > 0:54:09- Six I have.- How could you do that? - Seven I have. Eight pounds.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11Nine pounds. 10.
0:54:11 > 0:54:16- £11 I have. 12?- Deal. - £12 I have to the lady on my left.
0:54:16 > 0:54:18All finished, then, at 12.
0:54:18 > 0:54:21'Who'd have guessed that, eh? Profit at last.'
0:54:21 > 0:54:23'And from an old brick, no less.'
0:54:24 > 0:54:28'Now for Charles's £1 offering - the Art Deco vase.'
0:54:28 > 0:54:30Very, very stylish. Lovely piece.
0:54:30 > 0:54:34- Why didn't they do this with my last piece?- I'll start the bid at £10.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36£10 I have. 12 I have. 14 I have.
0:54:36 > 0:54:3916. 16 I have with the gentleman in the middle.
0:54:39 > 0:54:4216 I have. Do I see 18? 18 I have.
0:54:43 > 0:54:47- 20? 20. It's selling at 20. - Man!- 22 I have.
0:54:48 > 0:54:51All finished, then, at £22.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55'I say, Charles, that's a flowery profit.'
0:54:56 > 0:55:00'Christina's combined her swivel chair and pine till,
0:55:00 > 0:55:02'hoping it'll make her a pretty packet.'
0:55:02 > 0:55:07And I'm straight in with a commission bid at £30.
0:55:07 > 0:55:10- Yes!- You've done it.
0:55:10 > 0:55:13- 32.- Yeah!- I'm going to go 34.
0:55:13 > 0:55:1636 I'm at. It's in the room at £36.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20I'm selling at 36. Are we all done?
0:55:20 > 0:55:2236, ladies and gentlemen.
0:55:22 > 0:55:26'So close, but her profit will again be eaten up by costs.'
0:55:29 > 0:55:33'Can Charles do any better with his maritime canvas? Anchors aweigh!'
0:55:33 > 0:55:36A lot of interest in this on commission.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39'Commission bids, eh? This could get interesting.'
0:55:39 > 0:55:43I can go 30, 35, 40, 50, 60...
0:55:43 > 0:55:48- Here we go.- 70, 80,...- Hanson, you're rolling.- 90, 100,...
0:55:48 > 0:55:52- 'I say, it's flying.' - 140. £160 I have.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55- Oh, Hanson!- £160 I have.- Oh, my God.
0:55:55 > 0:55:58Are we all gone at £160?
0:55:59 > 0:56:01Looks like we are.
0:56:01 > 0:56:03£120 profit.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06- I'm just going to go home now. - Put it there.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11'So childish. So that's plain sailing into hefty profits, Charles'
0:56:11 > 0:56:14'Full steam ahead, old boy.'
0:56:15 > 0:56:17'Christina's got one lot left.'
0:56:17 > 0:56:20'But can they light up her life?'
0:56:20 > 0:56:22- I have commission bids on these.- Oh!
0:56:22 > 0:56:27I can start them with me at 50, 52, 55, 60.
0:56:27 > 0:56:31- 65, 70, 75, 80...- Well done.
0:56:31 > 0:56:3485, £90 I have on commission.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Brilliant.
0:56:36 > 0:56:41£90 I have on commission. All done at £95 on commission?
0:56:41 > 0:56:44- Ah, thank you, darling. - No, well done.
0:56:44 > 0:56:48'It's good, but with Charles already in the lead and with one lot to go,
0:56:48 > 0:56:50'looks like she's lost this battle.'
0:56:50 > 0:56:55'So, is Charles charging towards victory?
0:56:55 > 0:57:00Commission bids again I have on this. I can start it 100, 110,...
0:57:00 > 0:57:03- Great, we're off.- See? Perfect.
0:57:03 > 0:57:06120 I have. 125. I go 130.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08135 and it's in the room.
0:57:08 > 0:57:11- 140 I have.- Keep going.- 150 I have.
0:57:12 > 0:57:16160, 170, 180, 190.
0:57:16 > 0:57:19- Brilliant.- 200.- Oh, God.
0:57:19 > 0:57:23- Come on! - Are we all finished and done at 220?
0:57:23 > 0:57:25- We are.- Well done, Charlie. APPLAUSE
0:57:25 > 0:57:27Thank you!
0:57:27 > 0:57:29Thank you. Thank you very much!
0:57:29 > 0:57:33'Soak up that applause, Charles. You deserve it.'
0:57:33 > 0:57:35'And with that, the new girl loses her lead.'
0:57:39 > 0:57:43'Christina Trevanion started this leg with £203.50.'
0:57:43 > 0:57:47'After auction costs, she's made a profit of £25.70,
0:57:47 > 0:57:52'which makes her total for the next round £229.20.'
0:57:56 > 0:58:03'But with everything to prove, Charles Hanson began with a reduced £172.20,
0:58:03 > 0:58:10'and has made a magnificent profit of £219.76 after costs.'
0:58:10 > 0:58:16'This gives him a head start with a whopping £391.96 to spend next time'
0:58:19 > 0:58:23- I really can't believe it. - No, quite seriously, I can't either.
0:58:23 > 0:58:26- And now you drive me home, don't you?- No, you can drive.- Why?
0:58:26 > 0:58:30- Because I'll let you.- Really? Are you sure?- Just this once.- Great.
0:58:30 > 0:58:34The day gets better and better and better. Honestly.
