0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts, with £200 each,
0:00:05 > 0:00:10a classic car, and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Going, going...gone.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- Yes!- I think I've arrived!
0:00:13 > 0:00:17The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it is no mean feat.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Yes!
0:00:19 > 0:00:23- There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.- Tails.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Agh, agh!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37CAR HORN BEEPS
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Today sees the start of a new journey with two Road Trip veterans.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Auctioneer Paul Laidlaw has a passion for militaria...
0:00:48 > 0:00:50an eye for detail...
0:00:51 > 0:00:55..and is always keen to pass on his specialist knowledge.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59What more can the antiques expert tell you about it? Not a lot, really!
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Trying to beat him at auction is antique dealer David Harper.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08He enjoys taking a risk...
0:01:08 > 0:01:10all things oriental...
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and isn't afraid of a bit of hard graft.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Look at that.- I've never seen a man work like this!- Have you not?
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Never seen me work like this!
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Ha-ha, well, with £200 each in their wallets,
0:01:22 > 0:01:27the best of the British springtime, and this 1968 Triumph Herald,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30our experts are in for the trip of a lifetime.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I'll tell you what, Paul, it's very good to be back in a classic.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- You like it?- Oh, and the sun shining.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- You are lapping this up, aren't you? - It's wonderful!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- I'm back in the zone, says David Harper!- I'm back in the zone, I am!
0:01:45 > 0:01:47What fun!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50On this route, our boys set off from Windermere
0:01:50 > 0:01:55in the English Lake District and cover almost 600 miles.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57They will cross the border into Scotland,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59ending the week in the city of Dundee.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07On this leg, they will start at the Cumbrian town of Windermere and
0:02:07 > 0:02:11weave their way towards the auction in East Boldon in Tyne and Wear.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- Kendal, my adopted home.- Yeah. - And where are we going to end up? - I have no idea.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- Where are we going to end up?- God's own country.- We're going to Scotland.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- But what a journey for us! - Aye, my grandmother was Scottish...
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Very good.- ..a proper Scot.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- So there's Scottish blood running in these veins.- Freedom!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Rargh! - THEY LAUGH
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Oh, Lordy!
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Windermere was named after the railway station
0:02:40 > 0:02:42built in the mid-19th century
0:02:42 > 0:02:46and had, before then, been known as Birthwaite.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Our experts' first stop is tucked away in a little courtyard
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- and run by Jean and Barry. - Hi, I'm David.- Barry.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Barry, nice to meet you. Where do you want to go?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- You want me to go that way? What do you want me to do?- Go to hell!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Oh, no, oh, no! Oh, charming!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04What a great start. Do you hear that? Mm.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06The gloves are off now, Harper!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Now, now, fellas, don't fall out so early in the trip.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13So what have we got, then, you two? Come on, dealer to dealer,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16what have we got in here that stands you at no money?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- I've come up with two little pieces for you.- OK.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Might be good. You never know. It's probably saved me hours.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Jean and Barry have got some hidden gems,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29including this 19th century Staffordshire character pepper pot.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Ticket price, £95.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38He's a big, portly fellow. He's a happy, well-fed chap.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42I would love to have a go at him, I would, because I think he's rare.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45But in auction, I think it might be,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48because of the damage, £20-£30.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- If you'd take £20 for him... - I couldn't do it, David. No.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- I couldn't do it. - Barry's not having that.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Some objects do get you, you know. There's just something.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02They just grab you. And he grabs me because he's just got that...
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- quirky appeal, hasn't he?- Yeah.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I'd have a go at 20 quid. It would be my first purchase.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13- We can't do 20. Will you do 30? - I tell you what, I'll spin a coin.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Oh, crikey. Really?
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- 25, 35. Are you going to do that? - Go on, then.
0:04:19 > 0:04:2225 if I win, 35 if you win. You ready?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Good luck, everyone. - I'll win this.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Tails.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29And Harper wins with heads.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Thank you very much, you two. My first purchase.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Can I have my 10p back? - THEY LAUGH
0:04:35 > 0:04:39And with the flip of a coin, he's bought his first item for £25.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43With David now done with shopping,
0:04:43 > 0:04:47can Barry and Jean tempt Paul with a little treasure?
0:04:49 > 0:04:55- That's a Stanhope, isn't it? The wee...- No, it isn't.- Is it not?- No.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- How much is that? - That can be...a fiver.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I'd like to spend more. But I'm not talking you up!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Come on, Paul, give us the lowdown on your tiny find.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14- Yeah, I've got to come clean. It's a Stanhope.- It isn't!- It is.- It's not!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17It is. And I wouldn't want to do the dirty on you and walk outside and go,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19"Do you know...?"
0:05:19 > 0:05:21What a decent chap. And so full of knowledge.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Stanhope, named after the man, in the 19th century, developed...
0:05:28 > 0:05:31If I say "microfilm", it's painting a picture.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35It is photography greatly diminished in scale.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38And you look down them, and there are two little views.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40So you get two Stanhopes for the price of one there.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Ooh, I think he spies great profits with these little binoculars.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Have we got a deal at a fiver then, yeah?- I can't go back on it, can I?
0:05:50 > 0:05:54You're a gentleman, Barry. Wish me luck. Pray to God I'm right!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56You're going to get some luck with that!
0:05:56 > 0:05:58One of the smallest things we've seen on the Road Trip.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Next, I'll buy a wardrobe.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06He's certainly eyed up a bargain with this one.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I still can't see it.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Paul is heading towards the next stop of the trip -
0:06:17 > 0:06:20the historic market town of Kendal.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Since the Roman settlers began dealing with the local tribes over
0:06:25 > 0:06:302,000 years ago, trading has been an important part of Kendal's history.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Today, it is still famed for its variety of shops,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37and Paul's heading for one with a past.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Housed in a listed 17th century manor house, owners Robert and Andy
0:06:44 > 0:06:49have packed it full of eclectic and tempting antiques.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I did say before I was looking for somewhere to rummage.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I think I've arrived!
0:06:54 > 0:06:58The trick is to turn this treasure trove into your own pot of gold.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06The context is bric-a-brac. That's car-boot sale on a table, is it not?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Oh, cheeky!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11And in amongst it is rather a rich thing.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14So, period -
0:07:14 > 0:07:16second half of the 19th century.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Medium gilt brass.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24With applied enamelled porcelain plaque there.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30It is a rich piece of Victorian, very decorative, metalwork.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34He's taken with this gilt brass chalice-like vessel,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37but it's not the only item he's got his eye on.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43African...carved wooden stool.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47My children could have told you that. What more can the...
0:07:47 > 0:07:50the antiques expert tell you about it?
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Not a lot, really!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55At least he's honest.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00That has a pleasing...patina.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02It's got wear and tear.
0:08:03 > 0:08:09It's unlikely to have been brought about over here.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Because over here,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13it sits in the corner with a plant on it, does it not?
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Um, any port in a storm.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16In this case, it could be an African port.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18We'll give that a try later on, shall we?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22A man on a mission with two items in his sights and no sign of surrender.
0:08:25 > 0:08:31That is an officer's service dress. That's the correct terminology.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Royal Army Medical Corps captain.
0:08:34 > 0:08:41Why am I looking at it? Well, it's a strong market. Military, hot.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47It's all there. It has its belt and it also has its trousers.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50With a passion for militaria, Paul's gunning for glory.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Here's another one.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56In this instance... That was Royal Army Medical Corps.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59This one has collar badges of the Royal West Kent Regiment.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04And, of course, collectors chase relics of particular regiments.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06OK, another one I can ask about.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08This place certainly has him all lit up.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15- And he has also found a Chinese carved table lamp.- Chinese.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Carved hardwood.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24I love it. I must admit, I absolutely love these things.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Bags of character there.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29And you put yourself a nice silk shade or a pagoda form shade on that,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32what's not to love?
0:09:32 > 0:09:39What about the £185 price tag, Paul? It's worth a shot.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42A few wee bits and bobs. The likes of the officer's service dress there.
0:09:42 > 0:09:48- We're looking for £87 for that.- OK. That's unlucky, but c'est la vie.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- You've got a Victorian cup.- We've been looking for £150 for that.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- I know, I know, I know. - So where would you want to be?
0:09:54 > 0:09:59Oh, I'll say my limit and not play any games. At 50, I take a punt.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03We'll let you have a deal at 50 and see how you go with that.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Laidlaw's gaining ground with a third off the Victorian brass.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11There's a wee African stool sitting on the floor in front of you.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14That's unusual. Anything ethnic these days,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- again, we're looking about £45 for that.- Yeah.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19It was going to be my parting shot, just because you've asked,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21a tenner, to be honest with you.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Have a go with that, just for interest, to see what it'll bring...
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Take a punt at those two, then.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29It's another great deal at £10 for the stool.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34And now for his final strike.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- Strike while the iron's hot. Long shot. Two more things.- Yes.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41There was the two service dress tunics.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42I didn't even ask you about it -
0:10:42 > 0:10:44the Chinese carved hardwood for your lamp...
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Yes.- ..at the top of the stairs.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- It's got a massive price tag on it. - You're welcome to bid us on that.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Yeah, so no pressure at all.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- I want to pay 70 quid, the lot. - Two tunics...- And the Chinese lamp.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01- ..at £70...- 70 quid, plus stool at 10, brass at 50.- No problem.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- Pleasure, Andrew. - You're welcome.- Good man.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11Well, I never! That's a saving of almost £600.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Parting with over half his cash, Paul's making off with four items.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Thank you.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Meanwhile, David is en route to West Burton
0:11:21 > 0:11:24in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29Where he has been met by a slower pace of rural life.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31SHEEP BLEAT
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Hurry along, girls!
0:11:32 > 0:11:36David has still got £175,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40heading to his appointment at Old Smithy Antiques with owner Elaine.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- Hello.- Hello.- Hi there, gosh, this is gorgeous. Lovely to meet you.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- What a gorgeous place. - It is, it's lovely, isn't it?
0:11:48 > 0:11:49- And a lovely heat source. - Yeah, it is.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- It's lovely on a cold day like today, isn't it?- Absolutely.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53And I've been... Feel my hands.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Oh, they are cold! Oh, my word! - Bitter. But a warm heart.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58A very warm heart.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Crikey!
0:11:59 > 0:12:03And with only one purchase so far, you had better warm up fast, David.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I think it's Japanese, but...
0:12:07 > 0:12:11It's a silver cigarette case, but the inside is quite something.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19The silver cigarette case has a ticket price of £85 and an engraved
0:12:19 > 0:12:24picture of the volcano, Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28That's copper laid on top of silver. It's got a good weight.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Put it aside for now, is that OK? - I will, yes. I'll leave it there. - Right, I'll dive in here again.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Will the cigarette case erupt into profits at the auction?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Or perhaps this little 19th century glass dish will?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I know it's masonic,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45but I think that has quite a bit of an age to it.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I'm pleased you pointed that out to me, because anything
0:12:48 > 0:12:51with any sort of masonic emblem is sought-after, isn't it?
0:12:51 > 0:12:52And they can do quite well.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I mean, that's a good chunk of hand-blown glass.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I think it's some kind of... It's a paperweight of some sort.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Yeah, but... Yeah. - For anything. Pins...
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- You never know with the Masons, do you?- You don't know.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Let's shake your hand.- Oh, gosh! - Oh, you're one of those, aren't you?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Er, well, er, no!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11No, women aren't allowed, of course. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Ticket price is £18,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16but maybe another handshake could bring that down, David?
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Can it be a tenner?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Yeah, I think it could.- OK, let me have that for a tenner, Elaine.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Thank you very much. That's the first one. Thank you.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Now let's go to the Japanese cigarette box.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29It's nicely engraved, but you have got some silver polish,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- so if I buy it, can I buff it up? - I would think so.- All right.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35How much can it be? Go on. Give me the double-best death price.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- 65 is the death on that, I'm sorry. - Oh, no! I'll have it for 50.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40If you say yes, I'll take a chance on it.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I could do it at 60, maybe, at a push.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- I can't, I can't.- No, 55 is the very death. The very death.
0:13:46 > 0:13:4965, really, but I would do it at 55 and that's as far as I can go.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- OK, I can see it in your eyes, I'll have it. Thank you very much. - OK, thank you very much.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54He's not finished yet, you know!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59They are depicting typical Chinese scenes.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03We've got people here, we've got landscape, outcrops of rock,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06and we've got some age to them. But they're probably tourist pieces.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11No price, which probably means they're free... Elaine?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I don't know how much those are. How much do think they should be?
0:14:14 > 0:14:15- Shall I tell you?- Go on, then.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- I think they should be, for the pair, a few pounds.- A few pounds.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25- Well, I was thinking more like a tenner apiece.- Oh, gosh!
0:14:25 > 0:14:30- But I suppose I could do the pair for 15.- A fiver for the pair.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Can you squeeze up to- £8? Oh, go on, only cos you're gorgeous!
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Oh, go on, then! Thank you.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41So, with these 19th or 20th century early Chinese stone carvings,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- he's walking off with three items. - Very good.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Meanwhile, Paul is braving the British spring weather
0:14:50 > 0:14:52en route to Hawes in North Yorkshire.
0:14:53 > 0:14:59Sitting to the east of the Penines, this picture postcard market town makes it
0:14:59 > 0:15:01particularly popular with visitors.
0:15:02 > 0:15:08And one big draw is Paul's next stop, the proud home of Wensleydale cheese.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12This crumbly cheese has a rich heritage, going back to the 12th century.
0:15:12 > 0:15:18it is now enjoyed globally, including by animation stars Wallace and Gromit.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26Although there are other producers of Wensleydale in the UK, this is where it all started,
0:15:26 > 0:15:31And as such, houses a museum charting its cheesy past.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Today, it is still made only using milk from local farms,
0:15:35 > 0:15:40and has been the recipient of almost 400 awards in the last decade alone.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46So, pucker up, Paul, for a real taste of Yorkshire history,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48courtesy of managing director David.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52This is not what I expected. I know whe are in a museum setting,
0:15:52 > 0:15:56I expected farmhouse sort of environment and I see
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Norman arches.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Where are in, yes, because the story of Wensleydale cheese really started
0:16:01 > 0:16:05with those first monks who came over from France,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08after WIlliam the Conqueror had taken over the country.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11So they arrived in the 11th and 12 century and they were
0:16:11 > 0:16:14the people who really brought cheese making to these parts.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22It wasn't until 1897 when cheese was made commerically in the area,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26when local merchant Edward Chapman sought to standardise quality.
0:16:26 > 0:16:32But it was the now legendary local business man Kit Calvert MBE
0:16:32 > 0:16:37captured here on the left, who rescued the business from closure in the 1930s
0:16:37 > 0:16:42and started the creamery as we know it today in 1953.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48We've got a fantastic document here, which is the souvenir of the opening of the new creamery,
0:16:48 > 0:16:53but there is just a fantastic paragraph there, it just really sums the picture up.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57"This new creamery is only what our industry deserves,
0:16:57 > 0:17:02"and if treated with much care and respect as it was by our predecessors,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05"it will pay its trustees worthy compensations."
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- A heritage!- That's brilliant. - It runs through, doesn't it?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12The current custodians of this heritage and taste
0:17:12 > 0:17:15continue to invent new cheeses,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17including the Kit Calvert Wensleydale,
0:17:17 > 0:17:21which is hand crafted to an old, traditional recipe.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Wensleydale cheese changed during the Second World War when the Ministry of Food
0:17:26 > 0:17:31really encouraged cheese makers to have cheese ready and available, faster.
0:17:31 > 0:17:37Therefore the moisture went up, and that's where the characteristic white crumbly
0:17:37 > 0:17:40style of Wensleydale, still very milky, still very appealing,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42came to the fore.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46And probably these older recopies of Wensleydale cheese got forgotten a little bit.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50But it is just as a way of commemorating Kit Calvert, we were encouraged by customers
0:17:50 > 0:17:53who said, "Can you make us an old style Wensleydale?"
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Which is what we did.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57So if you just break a little bit off the end of there.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58- Just a little bit?- Have a generous bit.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00It's worth it.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- You'll see how smooth and creamy... - Tangy.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Tangy.- From the nose
0:18:09 > 0:18:13to the palette, man alive, David!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15You're my new best friend, you know that?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- So you really enjoyed it?- Love it!
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Wonderful, thanks very much. - Pleasure.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28And back in the Triumph with David,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30they head to their final shopping destination.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Nine miles east in the down of Middleham.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37This is my territory, Mr Laidlaw. This is... Am I on your patch?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- You're on my patch. - THEY LAUGH
0:18:39 > 0:18:43The town's castle was the childhood home of Richard III and still
0:18:43 > 0:18:46rises over its inhabitants today.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51As it was left to go to rack and ruin by the Tudors,
0:18:51 > 0:18:55the stone was used to build many of the local houses.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59PAUL CHUCKLES Is that handbrake on?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Er, yeah, I think so!
0:19:01 > 0:19:04If it isn't, it's going down the hill with you.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- And I think, Paul...- Good luck, yeah?- ..you are that direction.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- If you can find five things.- It's all downhill for you from now on.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- See you later.- See you. - What a carry on!
0:19:14 > 0:19:19He's got £65 to spend in Middleham Antiques where he is meeting Road Trip regular, Angela.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Hi, Ange!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Paul, pleased to meet you. - Yes, I know.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- One of me favourite presenters.- I'm loving you!- You talk a lot of sense.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29And you're one of my favourite antique dealers!
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Because you're talking a lot of sense. I'll do my "thang".
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Just shout when you want me. - Thanks, Angela.- Yeah.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36They're like old friends already.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, that's good.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43He's getting warmer in this room.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Angela...- Yes?
0:19:51 > 0:19:56One of the daftest things for me to pick up is an old stoneware...
0:19:56 > 0:20:00I'm not going to call it a flagon, but a jar.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- SRD.- Mm-hmm.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08The best story I've heard yet - Services Ration Department.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10You know what these stored? Rum.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14But the SRD makes it appealing to me because it's a military thing.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- It's got 22 quid on it! Oh, yeah. - I think we can do something on that.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I need you to knock £20 off that.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- I could let it go for 5, not 2. - Sell us that for a fiver?- Uh huh.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- I'm not going to be silly about it. - Old stock, everything is movable.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- It is not set in stone.- I am loving your work!
0:20:32 > 0:20:36I have got one good military lot that just got better
0:20:36 > 0:20:37by virtue of a rum jar.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39He's excited.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43But has David been having as much luck with his shopping endeavours
0:20:43 > 0:20:44with the help of Richard?
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- I did walk by the window just now and I saw that.- The Chinese pot?
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- I mean, it's new, isn't it? - That's right, it is 20th century.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I've got it in for 695,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58which I think is about an average price for that.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- OK, I think you're probably right. It's a big lump, isn't it?- Yes.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I bought it to put the wife in, but she wouldn't fit.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Hey, I hope your wife's not watching, Richard.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07There's going to be pillow talk.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10It seems like you might have Chinese on your mind.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Oh, I've always got Chinese on my mind, that's for sure!
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- I have this, this one here. - Is it a teapot?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Yes, it's an interesting piece, isn't it?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- It's pretty modern, isn't it?- Mm.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22He's tempted by the cockerel-shaped teapot,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25but at £75, he's not counting his chickens just yet.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34- Hmm, can the jade teapot be... Are you ready for a bid?- Go on.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- ..40 quid? - No, I couldn't do it for that.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- I wouldn't cover my costs on it, David.- Really?- Yeah.- Are you sure?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- Yeah.- OK. - If you offer me 50, I'll take it.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50- There we go.- You know where we've got to go with this, Robert.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51You know where we have to go.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- 45...- Good man!
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Thank you very much. Chinese jade teapot.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01With that final purchase, David spent £143
0:22:01 > 0:22:04of his original £200 and is offering up five lots, consisting of
0:22:04 > 0:22:06a Staffordshire pepperpot,
0:22:06 > 0:22:11a silver Japanese cigarette case, a 19th century masonic glass dish,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14a Chinese teapot and a pair of Chinese stone carvings.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20Paul began with £200 and spend £143 on five lots,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23a Stanhope viewer, modelled as miniature binoculars,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25an African wooden stool,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27two Second World War tunics
0:22:27 > 0:22:29and a First World War rum jar,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32a Chinese hardwood lamp and a Victorian gothic chalice.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36But, what do our experts think of each other's items?
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Some shrewd purchases. I know why he bought every single piece.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45And he's only made one mistake, that being the Staffordshire pepperette.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50It's a loser. But everything else, I think, has got some potential.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53It's a good offering, good portfolio, as I said. Like it.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54I think it'll be a close call.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59I don't think any of us are going to be embarrassed by the things that we bought, and it is anyone's game.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03And bizarrely, we've both spent about the same amount of money, too.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05So, very interesting.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Will their purchases pay off?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Time to find out as they head to auction in East Boldon.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- So, the auction, Paul Laidlaw, the auction.- This is it. D-day.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20The first one. And I'm feeling remarkably, stupidly, confident.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23No-one else will build you up other than yourself, so you might
0:23:23 > 0:23:27as well get yourself on a pedestal and chop yourself off at the base.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Why don't we build one another up? - Shall we do that?- I've always said you were amazing.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35- Paul, you know what? I think I love you.- Oh, Lordy.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37The Boldons are a group of three villages
0:23:37 > 0:23:41surrounded by green belt land with a deep connection to mining.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Today's auction is at Boldon Auction Galleries.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- After you, Paul. - Thank you very much.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Ladies first. - PAUL CHUCKLES
0:23:49 > 0:23:53And while our experts get their teeth stuck into the competition,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56auctioneer Giles Hodges starts the bidding!
0:23:57 > 0:24:00First up is David's pepper pot.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Tenner to start me.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Fiver, off we go.- Oh, Paul.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09- £5 here, at five, at five. Eight, 10,- £10. You were wrong.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- £10, a bid down there. You're both out.- Come on, go on!
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- 15. At £15, a lady's bid at the moment.- Go on. Go on, lady.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19£15 you are bid, all done at 15...
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Paul was right about that one.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22It's a loss.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Not a bloodbath.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Over to Paul now and his Gothic piece of Victorian gilt bronze.
0:24:31 > 0:24:3810, 15, 20, five, 30, five, 40, £40 upstairs. Another fiver?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40That's got to be.
0:24:40 > 0:24:4645. 45 downstairs. The bid is downstairs. All done at £45.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48GAVEL BANGS
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Mmm, close, close. A small loss.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52£5, to be precise, David.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Even more after commission.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Not a great start, fellas.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00David is hoping to carve out better profits
0:25:00 > 0:25:02with his two pieces of Chinese stone.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07£5 bid downstairs, at five, at five...
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Eight, 10, 12, 15...
0:25:11 > 0:25:16- At 15...- Come on. I need that tenner, but I... Go on!
0:25:16 > 0:25:20At £15, we're away. At 15...
0:25:20 > 0:25:24I'm crawling back, Paul. I'm crawling back with desperation!
0:25:24 > 0:25:27You'll be up and walking in no time with that £7.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Now for Paul's Chinese carved table lamp.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36I've got two commission bids. I start at £30, I've started.
0:25:36 > 0:25:3935, 40, five...
0:25:39 > 0:25:40- Anybody else?- It's cheap.
0:25:40 > 0:25:4450, five, 60, five, 70...
0:25:44 > 0:25:45It's hotting up.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- At £75, gentleman's bid upstairs to the left...- I'd buy it at that.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- I still think it's cheap. - It's still cheap.- Yeah.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- At 75...- I'll take it.- Take it, Paul, take it. I'm giving it to you.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59That's kind of him.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01And that £25 puts Paul in front.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Is his next lot sitting on yet more profits?
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Got two commission bids and 20 starts me straight in.
0:26:11 > 0:26:1625, 30, 35, bid is upstairs on the balcony.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19At £35, if we're all done...
0:26:19 > 0:26:21At £35...
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Another £25 helps Paul increase his lead.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- It's a nice earner. Well done. - It's all right.- Steady away, that.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Right, David,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36let's hope your masonic engraved glass can dish out more cash.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Somebody bid me £5 for the masonic.- No...
0:26:41 > 0:26:46Gentleman at the forefront at five, 10, 15, 20, five...
0:26:46 > 0:26:5025 at the forefront, 30, £30 on the right-hand side.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- £30, ladies and gents.- Come on!
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Are we all done at 30? - No, we're not!
0:26:56 > 0:26:59He's catching up now, though, with a £20 profit all of his own.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03I wanted...and I got 10% back!
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Up next is his big risk - the Chinese jade teapot.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Somebody start me at £50. 50 bid, straight in at 50.
0:27:15 > 0:27:1955, 60, £60 down to the left.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- At £60, are we all done, ladies and gents?- Egg them on, egg them on!
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- At £60, the first and the last time...- Egg them on! Egg them on!
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Love you though I do, you're on your own.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29GAVEL BANGS
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Not pouring out much of a profit, but it's good at £15.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I wanted 120, I got half.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Can Paul's miniature lot give him a big return?
0:27:41 > 0:27:46Bid at 15 to start me. At £15. 18, anybody else? 18.
0:27:46 > 0:27:4920, 22, 25, 28.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53All done, ladies and gents? At £28...
0:27:53 > 0:27:56You've got your eyes on the prize now.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- That is a good profit.- From a fiver.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02It's better than my blinking jade Chinese pot!
0:28:05 > 0:28:09David's last offering - the silver Japanese cigarette case.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Will it be a smokin' lot or not?
0:28:12 > 0:28:1920 to start it, 25, 30, five, 40, five, 50, five, 60...
0:28:19 > 0:28:20Come on, come on!
0:28:20 > 0:28:25- At £65 and all done... At 65... - Come on! No!
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Not exactly a towering mountain of profit, I'm afraid, David.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31HE GROANS
0:28:34 > 0:28:38And for Paul's last lot, he has combined his Second World War
0:28:38 > 0:28:41dress tunics with the First World War rum jar.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Can it seal his victory?
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Somebody bid me a fiver, the lot, please. Bid at the back of the hall.
0:28:46 > 0:28:52Five, 10, 15, 20, five, 30, five,
0:28:52 > 0:28:5740, five, 50, 55, 60, five,
0:28:57 > 0:28:5970, five.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Downstairs at 75. Are we all done?
0:29:03 > 0:29:07At £75, we are away at £75.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12And that profit is bang on £50, which gives victory to Laidlaw.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- A good day out.- No bloodshed there. Pie and a pint, my man?
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Pie and a pint sounds marvellous! You're great, you are, Laidlaw.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26David Harper started with £200 and after auction costs,
0:29:26 > 0:29:29he made a profit of £8.70.
0:29:29 > 0:29:34Ha! Which gives him £208.70 to spend next time.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Paul Laidlaw also started with £200
0:29:41 > 0:29:45and has made an impressive profit of £71.56 after costs.
0:29:45 > 0:29:52That puts him in the lead with £271.56 to spend on the next leg.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53Well done.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- Ready?- Yes!
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Way-hey!
0:30:00 > 0:30:02The boys are continuing their journey in Sunderland
0:30:02 > 0:30:07in the North East and will make their way to the next auction in the North Yorkshire town
0:30:07 > 0:30:08of Northallerton.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13David's first shop of this leg is in the area of Roker,
0:30:13 > 0:30:17a popular tourist destination since the early 20th century.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21- Good luck, man, yeah.- You have a great day. Good luck, Paul.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Catch you later.- I'm in. - He's raring to go.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- Oh. - BELL RINGS
0:30:27 > 0:30:28Oh!
0:30:28 > 0:30:32Traditional bell. I love that, don't you? My gosh.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Giraffes. There's giraffes everywhere.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Someone here really likes giraffes.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41It's chock-a-block-a-look.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44The shop itself transports you back to another time.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45I mean, talk about Empire days,
0:30:45 > 0:30:47this goes way back, this building,
0:30:47 > 0:30:49I'd imagine, looking at it.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51The structure of the shop now, even with candles burning,
0:30:51 > 0:30:55you feel like you're in circa 1880 and it's just magnificent.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00All credit to the owner,
0:31:00 > 0:31:02who must be in here somewhere...
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- My God, the giraffes keep coming... Hello.- Good morning.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- Hello, I'm David.- Pleased to meet you, I'm David Whitfield.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Hi, David. Two Davids. That makes life much easier for me,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12because I'm absolutely horrific with names.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14So I won't forget that one.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Well, I do hope not.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20David's run this shop for around 25 years
0:31:20 > 0:31:22and his kids collected most of the giraffes.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Well, you need a long neck
0:31:24 > 0:31:28to get a look at a lot of the stuff in this place!
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I don't know musical instruments very well at all,
0:31:30 > 0:31:35but I do know that they can do surprisingly well.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37What's that there? Is it a trumpet or trombone?
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- Are you any good on instruments?- No.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43This is going to be a laugh then, isn't it?
0:31:43 > 0:31:46They're not blowing their own trumpets - or tubas in this case.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50"Soldier of Pitsea Corps".
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Corps. Ah.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56So we've got a slight military connection here - and Paul Laidlaw.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59And he is the military expert.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01What kind of money can that be?
0:32:01 > 0:32:0335.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06And there's another one.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Starting a band, David?
0:32:08 > 0:32:11So, I might have a punt at these.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13I think there's a potential profit in them.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14- Can I make you a bid?- Make me a bid.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- I'll make you a bid - 30 quid for the pair.- I can't do it.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- I wouldn't be making any money.- OK.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22I tell you what I'll do - buy one, get one free.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- 45 quid the two. - DAVID LAUGHS
0:32:25 > 0:32:26Deal or no deal?
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- I'll spin you 30 or 40. - Go on, to a gambling man.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Good man, have you got a coin?
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Oh, no. On the last leg he won on a coin toss.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37Can he do it again?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- Are you ready?- Yep.- Happy?- Yep.- Go.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Tails.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42It's tails.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Apparently not.
0:32:44 > 0:32:4640 quid. Thank you very much, David.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51But losing hasn't put him off eyeing up more stuff.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Hang on a minute. I'm not leaving just yet, David,
0:32:53 > 0:32:56I'm just having a quick look at something.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57It's miniature furniture
0:32:57 > 0:33:00and it's absolutely charming. So what is it?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Well, it's a miniature chest of drawers.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05But this one, I've got to say, is a bit bonkers,
0:33:05 > 0:33:07because I can see
0:33:07 > 0:33:10that the front four sets of drawers,
0:33:10 > 0:33:12three are blank
0:33:12 > 0:33:14and one opens.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15Oh, my gosh.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16- David?- Yes?
0:33:16 > 0:33:20Three blank drawers, one opening with a well.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22My son made me laugh the other week, he said,
0:33:22 > 0:33:25"Dad, is that an inkwell?" I said, "No." He said, "What is it?"
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- A moneybox.- It's a moneybox, yeah.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30So when that goes in, that drops.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33- And your money goes into the bottom.- Let me try that.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36I'll put it in, it's there. There it is. Close it.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38- Go on. - HE GASPS
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Beautiful. What kind of money can it be?
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- I'll do it for a fiver is the best I can do.- I can't...
0:33:43 > 0:33:46You know, I can't chip you on that. Drop-dead gorgeous.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51David may be working out ways to save some pennies...
0:33:53 > 0:33:57..but Paul's been travelling the few miles to Cleadon to spend his...
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Sitting just outside the city,
0:34:02 > 0:34:05this village was first recorded in the 12th century.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10And Paul's travelled to meet Judith at Cleadon Antiques And Gifts.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14May I have a wee look round?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Spend some money, I hope? Excellent.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Paul won the first leg,
0:34:20 > 0:34:23but can he whip up a storm at the next auction?
0:34:25 > 0:34:28We have a pot lid.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Now, these date to the Victorian era,
0:34:32 > 0:34:36and things that could be bought in such pots
0:34:36 > 0:34:39were pastes and preserves and spreads,
0:34:39 > 0:34:41for consumption.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44And pastes and cosmetics
0:34:44 > 0:34:46for dressing and grooming.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48There are two here.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51One is all of £12 and the other is £9,
0:34:51 > 0:34:52so £21 for the pair.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55I think that's pretty darn fair, if you want them.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59Victorian pots to World War I binoculars,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01and now he's spied a silver box.
0:35:01 > 0:35:06That's a wee charmer, a little silver pocket snuff.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Look at that.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11What we see all the time - engine turning.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12We see foliate scrollwork.
0:35:12 > 0:35:18What we don't see are lovely little Gothic arches and trefoils
0:35:18 > 0:35:22there's a touch of the Rococo in there with these sea scrolls.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27Ticket price £52. Right, Paul, are you actually going to buy anything?
0:35:29 > 0:35:33May I pop a few things on the counter and have a conversation with you?
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- Right.- We might buy everything, we might buy nothing, or something,
0:35:36 > 0:35:38but let's just go at it? Do you mind?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40I mean, I could give you a good price on this,
0:35:40 > 0:35:43because I only paid 20 quid for it, although it's got a dear price on!
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- If that would get you a good profit.- Ooh!
0:35:46 > 0:35:49A great tip on a silver-topped claret jug
0:35:49 > 0:35:53with a hefty ticket price of £485.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Paul, you could be on to a winner here.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59We saw the pot lids.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04To start with, he's grabbing the pots AND the binoculars.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05Shoplifter!
0:36:05 > 0:36:07He's amassing a hoard.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Your whip stand there.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14So what are you telling me comes for £75?
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Is it the stand and the whips?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20No, without the whips. The whips are just loaned off my friend.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22I don't know why she has whips!
0:36:22 > 0:36:25THEY LAUGH
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Can she throw parties?
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Oh, naughty!
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Cut to the chase. Everything there -
0:36:32 > 0:36:35give me the bottom line.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- Be gentle with me. - I could do these for ten.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40And I could do 20 on those.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43I could do 30 on that.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Looking good so far.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47And John, who owns the whip stand,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49has also dropped its price to £40.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51So, Paul, one item to go.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55Judith only paid £20 for that silver-topped jug,
0:36:55 > 0:36:59so there's a great opportunity to capitalise on claret here.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05That's the big one that could hurt, but you got that cheap,
0:37:05 > 0:37:08so how much profit do you need
0:37:08 > 0:37:10to be happy with me walking out the door with it?
0:37:10 > 0:37:14Well, if I had a Scottish cuddle,
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- you could have it for 50.- £50?!
0:37:17 > 0:37:20The ticket says ten times that price!
0:37:20 > 0:37:22I am going to give you a cuddle
0:37:22 > 0:37:25and I'm no' going to haggle any further.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27That's excellent.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29You've been very fair.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34That's no' how we cuddle in Scotland.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39- That's how we cuddle in Scotland! - What an incredible deal, eh?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42£150 in his first shop,
0:37:42 > 0:37:44for the World War I binoculars,
0:37:44 > 0:37:47two Victorian pots and lids,
0:37:47 > 0:37:49a silver-engraved snuff box,
0:37:49 > 0:37:51the massively discounted claret jug
0:37:51 > 0:37:53and the riding-whip stand.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57And they've only thrown in a military crop for him too.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00There's a lot there to get excited about.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Meanwhile, David has made his way 13 miles south to Durham,
0:38:04 > 0:38:08to the indoor market.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Housed in a restored Victorian hall,
0:38:13 > 0:38:17this place has been trading since 1851.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19There are over 50 stalls,
0:38:19 > 0:38:22selling everything from fish to footwear.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27But our David is only looking for something he can turn into profits
0:38:27 > 0:38:29and has come straight to Mike,
0:38:29 > 0:38:31who's been here for 20 years.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- There we are.- 1925.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- Yeah.- Nice dish.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40OK, let's have a look at that, then.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- I hope it's going to be an absolute stonking bargain.- Well, we'll see.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47He's got a smile on his face, I don't like the look of that at all.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49So that is absolutely gorgeous.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52So we've got stamp, Mappin & Webb, very upmarket,
0:38:52 > 0:38:54very good quality.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Known as a tazza, Italian for stemmed cup,
0:38:57 > 0:39:00which is often used to describe objects
0:39:00 > 0:39:02with a shallow bowl shape.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06I love the shape of it, that is almost Grecian, isn't it?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- Really nice, yes. - Or Roman maybe, in its influence.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Sounds like David's falling for it,
0:39:10 > 0:39:13but how much is he willing to pay?
0:39:14 > 0:39:17I could make you a bid and I don't think I'm going to buy it.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19- Do you want me to make a bid? - You can, yes, if you like.
0:39:19 > 0:39:24OK, I'd have a go at 40 quid. This is not going to be a flyer.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26No-one can criticise it for being anything other
0:39:26 > 0:39:28than fantastic quality and drop-dead gorgeous,
0:39:28 > 0:39:30it's not going to make 200 quid, is it?
0:39:30 > 0:39:3350 might buy it. Seeing it's you.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35It's got to be 40.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37I know I'm being hard, I know I am.
0:39:37 > 0:39:3845.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43- There might be a trickle of profit. - You'll make a profit on that.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- Do you think I will?- You will. - There's a trickle there.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50He doesn't seem bowled over with this purchase,
0:39:50 > 0:39:53but he's now got three items under his belt.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Together again briefly, the boys
0:39:55 > 0:39:59are driving across Durham towards a taste of the Orient.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Oh, gosh, that was a quick arrival!
0:40:01 > 0:40:04That was braking, that.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09Well, see you later, darling. See you in Darlington later.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- What are we turning into? This is really worrying.- Enjoy, brother!
0:40:12 > 0:40:13See you, have a good day.
0:40:13 > 0:40:20It's onward for Paul, but as an Oriental enthusiast, David
0:40:20 > 0:40:24is in for the treat of the trip at Durham University's Oriental Museum.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31And one of the greatest collections of Chinese
0:40:31 > 0:40:36antiques in the country is watched over by curator Craig Barclay.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- David Harper. Nice to meet you, Craig.- Welcome to the Oriental Museum.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Honestly, I can't begin to tell you what it's like for me to be here.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47This is just... This is a snapshot of heaven.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54This slice of heaven owes its existence to British politician
0:40:54 > 0:40:57and diplomat Malcolm MacDonald.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00The son of former Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald,
0:41:00 > 0:41:04Malcolm was himself a member of the Cabinet before taking up imperial
0:41:04 > 0:41:08posts, and later was appointed Chancellor of Durham University.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18Passionate about education and antiques, Malcolm started
0:41:18 > 0:41:22donating his extensive collection to the university in the 1950s.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26And David has been given permission to handle the first item
0:41:26 > 0:41:29he acquired, a ceramic Ming Dynasty lion dog.
0:41:29 > 0:41:36I suppose the reason I like it is because it represents the beginning of a collector's journey.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38It is not an expensive object at all.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41They made these in the thousands of them, millions over many years.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45- But it is still gorgeous. - It's still gorgeous, yes.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Mmm, almost want to kiss it. Is that really wrong?
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- I'm afraid that would be a step too far.- It probably would be.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54I won't do that! But let me just have one last stroke.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Malcolm's legacy lies not only in this impressive collection,
0:41:58 > 0:42:01but also in his central role in the decolonisation
0:42:01 > 0:42:05of the British Empire and the shaping of the Commonwealth.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09But he was no ordinary diplomat.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12He made a very, very good friend.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16And the friend that he made was a man in Sarawak by the name of Temenggong Koh.
0:42:16 > 0:42:22And Temenggong Koh was a collector. He collected two things.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25He collected Chinese porcelain,
0:42:25 > 0:42:30but also, as the chief of the Iban tribe, he collected heads.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36His close relationship with Koh led to an unconventional gift
0:42:36 > 0:42:39that now forms part of the museum's collection.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46- This is Temenggong Koh's actual sword.- This is the head-taker?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- This is the head-taker.- Oh, gosh.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Now a historic museum piece,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54these two enthusiasts are taking a closer look.
0:42:54 > 0:42:59We have got the human hair, then we've got the bone handle, profusely carved.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02I have a feeling that that is a piece of furniture.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04This is recycling, here.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08And then just before the blade, the little protector here,
0:43:08 > 0:43:10that to me is...
0:43:10 > 0:43:11It's a coin.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14I will confess that I had always looked at it as simply
0:43:14 > 0:43:19being a copper alloy ring, but as you say, if you look at it really
0:43:19 > 0:43:22closely, you can see there are letters on that copper alloy ring.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24And, yeah, you're absolutely right, it's a coin.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26That's brilliant. It couldn't get any better, could it?
0:43:26 > 0:43:30- It's made my day.- It's made my day. My gosh!- Thank you for that.
0:43:30 > 0:43:31Thank you, marvellous!
0:43:32 > 0:43:36Another giant leap in knowledge, and all thanks to our David.
0:43:40 > 0:43:44Meanwhile, back in the Triumph, Paul is making his way to Coxhoe in County Durham.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49With a history that goes back as far as the Bronze Age, the
0:43:49 > 0:43:53present village grew up with mining in the 18th and 19th centuries.
0:43:56 > 0:44:01So, can Paul dig deep and find yet another gem in Nursery Antiques?
0:44:01 > 0:44:03Hello there!
0:44:03 > 0:44:05- Ah, morning, Paul.- Hi, I'm Paul. - Pleased to meet you.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08- Good to see you. You are?- Len. - Len, what a pleasure.- Thank you.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11- May I have a wee wander round? - You certainly can.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13If you want any help, just give me a shout.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18With six items to his name already, the pressure's off,
0:44:18 > 0:44:20unless something else can tempt him.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26If it's not expensive, and I suspect it's not going to be,
0:44:26 > 0:44:29sitting down there, that wee tea set doesn't have a price on it.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33Right. I mean, I could do that for, what, £12.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37I'm glad you're in the right ballpark.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40He's interested in this 19th century doll's tea set.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44A wee bit more than... To be honest with you, it's no' money.
0:44:44 > 0:44:48- Can I just bid you... - Yeah, sure.- ..parting shot...
0:44:48 > 0:44:49a fiver?
0:44:50 > 0:44:53Um, eight and it's yours.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56That's a deal then.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58- Thank you very much indeed.- Sweet.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00It may be for dolls, but he is not playing around,
0:45:00 > 0:45:04and has added the tea set to his bulging bundle of antiques.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08And back on the road,
0:45:08 > 0:45:12Paul is only too well aware of his shopping excess.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14- Maniac!- You are a maniac, all right.
0:45:14 > 0:45:19Can you do me a favour and just come with me and punch me
0:45:19 > 0:45:21- when I pick things up? - Oh, would you mind?
0:45:21 > 0:45:23I've been dreaming about that for the last couple of days!
0:45:23 > 0:45:26Oh, you silly boys! At least they're still laughing.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30They are now heading to Darlington.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34With the historic market town at its centre, Darlington is
0:45:34 > 0:45:38famed for being the terminus of the world's first passenger railway.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43- There you go, welcome to sunny Darlington.- Sunny indeed.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45It's absolutely fabulous.
0:45:45 > 0:45:49- Paul, good luck. All the best.- All the best! I'll see you soon, yeah?
0:45:49 > 0:45:52- I'll see you later. - Last shop of the day.- OK, cheerio.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55Paul's final chance to buy is Blackwell Antiques & Curios.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59- Hello.- Paul.- How are you doing? - How are we doing?
0:45:59 > 0:46:02- Gordon, pleased to meet you.- Pleased to meet you.- A fellow Scotsman.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05- May I have a wee look around... - Please do.- ..and see if we can...?
0:46:05 > 0:46:08I will leave you to your devices and we will be over here.
0:46:08 > 0:46:13Meanwhile, David's last shop is in what was a house for rail workers.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16- Tony.- Hello, young David.- Well...
0:46:16 > 0:46:19It is now owned by Tony, who started his career in the railways
0:46:19 > 0:46:22before becoming an artist and moving into antiques.
0:46:22 > 0:46:28I'm looking for general sale stuff, but something a bit sort of quirky.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Here we go, that's a bit quirky.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33That's... I mean, that's absolutely superb.
0:46:33 > 0:46:37That is a cigarette box made out of Bakelite.
0:46:37 > 0:46:39It's bang on Art Deco, circa 1930.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41It could just be...
0:46:41 > 0:46:45- It could be made into a jewellery box, but it's got the look.- Yeah.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48It's also got a ticket price of £30.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50I'd love to pay £10 for it.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52TONY LAUGHS
0:46:52 > 0:46:56- What happened then? - How many Gs in jugular?!
0:46:57 > 0:47:02- Yeah, that one sure packed a punch.- I tell you what we'll do.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05Do it for £15. Go on.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07You don't fancy having a bit of a gamble, do you?
0:47:07 > 0:47:11- David, I've lost ten in a row! - You haven't? You've lost ten spins?
0:47:11 > 0:47:14- I've lost ten in a row. - Let's have another go.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17Huh! Any excuse to flip a coin, eh, David?
0:47:17 > 0:47:20- You can call. Call.- Heads.
0:47:20 > 0:47:24Tony, has your bad luck broken?
0:47:26 > 0:47:29- Tony, it hasn't.- Eh?!- It's tails.
0:47:31 > 0:47:35Turn it round. Oh, Tony. Oh!
0:47:37 > 0:47:41# Don't cry for me Argentina... #
0:47:41 > 0:47:44I didn't know you had it in you, Harper!
0:47:44 > 0:47:46- OK, let me give you some money for that.- Right.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49- And then I'll continue looking, cos you never know.- OK, David. Yes.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52All right, leave that there, that's mine.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55David's got one item and counting, but Paul is struggling.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59With the profitable claret jug on his side,
0:47:59 > 0:48:03not even militaria can tempt him to part with more cash.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08I'm afraid it's going to be a flying visit, my friend.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10That's all right, that's all right.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12Although you should know,
0:48:12 > 0:48:18I have bought more things than sense would dictate already!
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Laidlaw is out of the game,
0:48:21 > 0:48:24but David's warming up with these brass sovereign scales.
0:48:24 > 0:48:29Right, this little object was absolutely vital to anybody
0:48:29 > 0:48:33that dealt in gold but also that used gold to purchase,
0:48:33 > 0:48:36because, there's your half sovereign and your full sovereign.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39They have to weigh a certain weight. A real necessity.
0:48:39 > 0:48:43Ticket price is £38. Now, Harper, go easy!
0:48:45 > 0:48:47- Some investor will love those. - They would.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51- Especially if I paid a tenner and they paid 20.- No.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54- No.- That would be a winner. - No, no.- No?- No.- No.- No.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57- No.- They are just not easy to find.
0:48:57 > 0:49:02After carefully weighing it up, the scales go back in the cabinet.
0:49:02 > 0:49:07- I can half them for you and we can say £19...- Can't do it.
0:49:07 > 0:49:11- Honestly, I can't.- This is the real world, unfortunately.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14Oh, I don't like the real world!
0:49:14 > 0:49:17Like it or not, David, your tenner's going nowhere.
0:49:17 > 0:49:21How about if we go 12 on the scales?
0:49:21 > 0:49:24- What do you reckon? - That was the... That's...
0:49:24 > 0:49:26You shouldn't be eating butter!
0:49:26 > 0:49:27HE LAUGHS
0:49:27 > 0:49:29What do we reckon?
0:49:33 > 0:49:38- 13.- Done.- Right, go on. - Thank you very much.- At last.
0:49:38 > 0:49:43The scales have tipped for David and he's walking away with two items.
0:49:43 > 0:49:47David spent £113 and is offering up five lots, comprising...
0:49:47 > 0:49:49a mahogany money box,
0:49:49 > 0:49:50two tubas,
0:49:50 > 0:49:53a silver tatsa, an art deco cigarette box,
0:49:53 > 0:49:56and a set of brass sovereign scales.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Paul is also presenting five lots,
0:49:59 > 0:50:02but at a total cost of £158
0:50:02 > 0:50:05for a silver snuff box, two Victorian transfer printed pots,
0:50:05 > 0:50:07combined with the tea set,
0:50:07 > 0:50:10First World War British Army binoculars,
0:50:10 > 0:50:12a silver and glass claret jug
0:50:12 > 0:50:16and an oak whip stand and riding crop.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19But what do our experts have to say for themselves?
0:50:19 > 0:50:22First auction, I thought I'd got it. I really did. I thought my pieces were better.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25But, you know, you've got to believe in your own stuff.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27And I've got to tell you, I think,
0:50:27 > 0:50:32take out the claret jug of Paul's, destroy that, I'd get him.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35Introduce the claret jug, I think if it is going to go Paul's way,
0:50:35 > 0:50:36he's got to kill me with claret.
0:50:36 > 0:50:40At the risk of jinxing the whole affair...
0:50:40 > 0:50:42um, I should win that auction.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45The claret jug should do 250 to 350.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49There you go, I said it!
0:50:51 > 0:50:55Yes, you did! Onwards to auction, fellas, where all will be revealed.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58Paul, I have got a prediction for today.
0:50:58 > 0:51:03I predict that I am going to be beaten up...by a claret jug.
0:51:03 > 0:51:04The new Cluedo - Professor Laidlaw,
0:51:04 > 0:51:07with a claret jug, in the auction room.
0:51:07 > 0:51:08THEY LAUGH
0:51:08 > 0:51:12They are heading to the North Yorkshire town of Northallerton.
0:51:14 > 0:51:18Granted a market town status by Royal Charter over 800 years
0:51:18 > 0:51:22ago, trading is still an important part of life in Northallerton.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26And our experts will be trying their luck in today's general
0:51:26 > 0:51:30sale at Northallerton Auctions, held in the cattle market.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35Looks rather nice. I hope we don't leave with a couple of cows, Paul.
0:51:35 > 0:51:36Look at those pens!
0:51:36 > 0:51:40While the boys get in amongst the pens, auctioneer Timothy -
0:51:40 > 0:51:44great name - Pennington talks shop.
0:51:44 > 0:51:48We're starting with David's musical piece of plumbing.
0:51:48 > 0:51:53- Ten bid, at £10 bid... - Ohh, paid 40.- 15, 20...
0:51:53 > 0:51:54Taking big bid increments.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57- 30, 30 bid, five... - Come on, you're getting there.
0:51:57 > 0:52:01- Try eight, madam.- Go on!- At £35, bid at 35...- No, no!- 38, is it?
0:52:01 > 0:52:03- Going to sell at 35...- No, no!
0:52:03 > 0:52:05GAVEL BANGS
0:52:05 > 0:52:09It has hit a bum note with a £5 loss.
0:52:09 > 0:52:12Why didn't you bid on those?
0:52:12 > 0:52:13Yeah, what's your problem?!
0:52:15 > 0:52:19That's no way to behave! Maybe Paul can whip him into shape.
0:52:20 > 0:52:24At £10, bid at ten, for the good crop stand.
0:52:24 > 0:52:28- 15, 20, 20 against you... - No, it's not going to make 20 quid.
0:52:28 > 0:52:33- It can't make 20 quid.- 25, 30... 30 bid out at the top now.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36- Come on, bid.- OK... - I'll give you a couple of quid.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39Oh, sorry, Paul, I just missed that, mate! Sorry about that(!)
0:52:39 > 0:52:44Ha! The friendship's going to pot, as is their cash, with another loss.
0:52:45 > 0:52:48Good job you didn't bid on that one anyway. Well done.
0:52:48 > 0:52:49That was a good decision.
0:52:50 > 0:52:54Paul's militaria did him proud at the last auction.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56Can he do it again?
0:52:56 > 0:52:58Ten bid. Little money at ten bid.
0:52:58 > 0:53:05- 12, 15, 18, 20...- Here we go.- 22. - Oh!- 22, try another one.
0:53:05 > 0:53:0822, 22 bid and selling at 22...
0:53:08 > 0:53:09GAVEL BANGS
0:53:09 > 0:53:12It's bombed, as all but 4p of that profit
0:53:12 > 0:53:16will be eaten up by auction house costs.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18At least you've made a bit of profit on paper.
0:53:18 > 0:53:21You're the first one today to make a profit on paper!
0:53:21 > 0:53:25Can David's next piece help balance the books?
0:53:25 > 0:53:27- Five bid...- Oh, here we go.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30- Eight, ten, ten against you. - ..Bid there.
0:53:30 > 0:53:34- Come on. Any more?- At ten bid, 12... - No, go on!
0:53:34 > 0:53:37All finished then at £12...
0:53:38 > 0:53:41No more gold sovereigns for you, I'm afraid, David.
0:53:41 > 0:53:45I wouldn't say there's a feverish atmosphere in the salesroom.
0:53:46 > 0:53:50For the next lot, Paul has combined his Victorian pots
0:53:50 > 0:53:52and lids with his doll's tea set.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56£10 straight in. Ten bid.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58At £10 bid, at ten bid...
0:53:58 > 0:54:0012, 14, 16...
0:54:00 > 0:54:02All out in the ring now.
0:54:02 > 0:54:0718, 20, 20 bid. At 20 bid up top now.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10At 20 bid, at 20 bid and selling at £20...
0:54:10 > 0:54:12GAVEL BANGS
0:54:12 > 0:54:17It's a £2 profit, but after costs, he'll have made a loss.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20- Did you buy that?- Yes! - But it wasn't mine!
0:54:20 > 0:54:22- It was his. You can send them back, you know.- It was nice.
0:54:22 > 0:54:28- Behave, Harper! Your Bakelite box is up next.- Five bid.
0:54:28 > 0:54:32- At £5 bid...- Go on, go on. - All out, take seven.
0:54:32 > 0:54:37Seven, nine, 11, 13, 15, 18...
0:54:37 > 0:54:41- 18 with me, at £18... - Go on, go on, go on!
0:54:41 > 0:54:45- 20, 20 against you. 21, is it, madam?- Go on!
0:54:45 > 0:54:4920 bid and selling at 20...
0:54:49 > 0:54:53Cor, things are looking up! He's just doubled his money.
0:54:53 > 0:54:57That's 100%. There's nothing wrong with a 100% margin.
0:54:59 > 0:55:02Can his money box help pile up pennies?
0:55:02 > 0:55:06Five bid, at £5 bid, at five, ten, 15...
0:55:06 > 0:55:09- Well done, good taste. - ..20, five, 30...
0:55:09 > 0:55:15- All out in the ring now, at 30 I am bid. At 30 I am bid...- Is that you?
0:55:15 > 0:55:18Are you all done and finished then at £30?
0:55:19 > 0:55:23Harper's pulling ahead in this auction, thanks to his new friend.
0:55:23 > 0:55:26- It's a bargain.- I've got two of yours.- A beautiful thing.
0:55:26 > 0:55:28Well done. You've got good taste.
0:55:29 > 0:55:30Fibber.
0:55:30 > 0:55:34Perhaps Paul can pull it back by flashing his silverware.
0:55:34 > 0:55:3640 bid. At 40 bid. Five.
0:55:36 > 0:55:40- Ooh.- And 50. Five. And 60.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42- Five. And 70.- Oh, they like their silver.
0:55:42 > 0:55:46- They like their silver.- Two. And five. 75 with me.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48- They like their silver. - At £75 only bid.
0:55:48 > 0:55:51At 75 bid, and selling at 75.
0:55:52 > 0:55:56A sterling £45 profit puts Paul back in front.
0:55:56 > 0:55:58Seriously, well done.
0:55:58 > 0:56:01- Thank you.- Well done.- Well, you've got silver up next, haven't you?
0:56:03 > 0:56:06Can David's silver offering follow suit?
0:56:06 > 0:56:09- At 20 only bid. All out in the ring now.- It's a nice little thing, that.
0:56:09 > 0:56:14- Five. 30. 35. 35 with me.- Come on!
0:56:14 > 0:56:19- At 35. At 35. 40.- No, go on!- 40 bid. I'll take two.
0:56:19 > 0:56:22- At 40 only bid. At £40.- No! - 40 bid against you. 42.
0:56:22 > 0:56:2545. 45.
0:56:25 > 0:56:27- It should be 90 quid!- 48.
0:56:27 > 0:56:3248, I'm bid. At 48 bid. I'm going to sell, then, at 48.
0:56:33 > 0:56:38Unfortunately, David is yet again beaten by costs.
0:56:38 > 0:56:40Oh!
0:56:40 > 0:56:42Why didn't you bid on that one? That was a lovely...
0:56:42 > 0:56:43PAUL LAUGHS
0:56:43 > 0:56:47Have they saved the best for last?
0:56:47 > 0:56:51It's the highly anticipated silver claret jug that Paul picked up
0:56:51 > 0:56:52for a pittance.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55- He's got nothing on the books. - £100 straight in. 100 bid.
0:56:55 > 0:56:58- Mm.- £100 bid. 110.
0:56:58 > 0:57:00It's already double what he paid.
0:57:00 > 0:57:03- 140.- Yeah.- 150, 160.
0:57:03 > 0:57:07All out in the ring, now. At 160 I'm bid. At 160 only bid.
0:57:07 > 0:57:12- I'll take five - where? 165. At 165 all out in the ring now.- So cheap.
0:57:12 > 0:57:17At 165 are you all done and finished, then, at 165?
0:57:17 > 0:57:21Paul, congratulations. And I sincerely mean it.
0:57:21 > 0:57:24PAUL LAUGHS
0:57:24 > 0:57:25Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh!
0:57:25 > 0:57:29Hand-crushing Harper knew it would wipe him out,
0:57:29 > 0:57:32and it has, giving victory to Laidlaw once again.
0:57:34 > 0:57:38David Harper started this leg with £208.70.
0:57:38 > 0:57:42During this trip to auction, he made a profit of £5.90.
0:57:42 > 0:57:44HE LAUGHS
0:57:44 > 0:57:47Giving him £214.60 to carry forward.
