It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each,

0:00:020:00:05

a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:050:00:09

-Going, going, gone!

-I've fallen in love with a brick!

0:00:090:00:13

The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction - but it's no mean feat

0:00:130:00:18

There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.

0:00:180:00:21

I feel antiqued out!

0:00:210:00:23

Will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?

0:00:230:00:27

-GEARS CRUNCH

-Charlie!

-Sorry!

0:00:270:00:29

This is the Antiques Road Trip.

0:00:290:00:32

Yeah!

0:00:330:00:35

This week, we're with the dashing duo of the antiques world.

0:00:360:00:40

Auctioneer, antiques expert and all-round good guy Charles Hanson

0:00:430:00:48

had a shaky start...

0:00:480:00:50

I don't believe it! You conquered me today!

0:00:500:00:52

..but has fought hard to take back the lead.

0:00:520:00:56

LAUGHTER Thank you very much.

0:00:560:00:59

Hot on his heels is jewellery expert Christina Trevanion.

0:01:010:01:05

She may be a Road Tip rookie...

0:01:050:01:06

-As it's my first Road Trip...!

-HE LAUGHS

0:01:060:01:09

..but she's got one thing on her mind.

0:01:090:01:12

-I NEED a bargain!

-Need a bargain!

0:01:120:01:15

And she's going to great lengths to get what she wants.

0:01:150:01:20

-That's it. The gloves are off, baby!

-LAUGHS

0:01:200:01:23

Charles started with £200

0:01:270:01:29

and after two trips to auction has made some impressive profits,

0:01:290:01:33

giving him £391.96p to spend today.

0:01:330:01:37

Also kicking off with £200,

0:01:410:01:43

Christina's seen a steady return on her purchases,

0:01:430:01:46

clocking up a respectable budget of £229.20p.

0:01:460:01:49

Their worthy steed for the journey

0:01:500:01:53

is this beautifully preserved 1969 Morris Minor.

0:01:530:01:56

Sorry.

0:01:560:01:57

-CHRISTINA LAUGHS

-What happened?

0:01:570:02:01

Yet another car suffers at the hands of Hanson!

0:02:010:02:05

My knob's come off. Sorry. CHRISTINA LAUGHS

0:02:050:02:09

-Do you want me to screw it back on?

-Could you screw my knob on, please?

0:02:090:02:13

Oh, try to behave, Charles!

0:02:130:02:15

The route for the week takes our intrepid road trippers

0:02:180:02:21

from Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire over peak and dale

0:02:210:02:24

to their final destination of Cobridge in Staffordshire,

0:02:240:02:28

covering approximately 600 miles.

0:02:280:02:30

On this part of the journey,

0:02:320:02:34

they'll kick off their shopping in Liverpool

0:02:340:02:37

and work their way up to the auction in Lytham St Annes in Lancashire.

0:02:370:02:42

Liverpool's wealth was in part due

0:02:450:02:48

to the city handling 40% of the world's trade

0:02:480:02:52

by the early 19th century.

0:02:520:02:55

Can our duo cash in on this rich heritage?

0:02:550:02:58

They're off to a great start(!)

0:02:580:03:00

-The car's rolling off.

-Is it? Sorry! Handbrake!

0:03:000:03:04

Or maybe not.

0:03:040:03:05

-See you later.

-Bye.

0:03:070:03:09

With no sign of putting the brakes on,

0:03:110:03:14

Charles is starting in pole position.

0:03:140:03:16

But can his first shop of the trip

0:03:160:03:19

and owner Trevor help him stay there?

0:03:190:03:22

I'll go for a walk around, if that's OK.

0:03:220:03:24

-I'm on a bit of a thrill chase today.

-Good.

0:03:240:03:26

-To keep myself in the lead.

-Well, bright and optimistic is good.

0:03:260:03:30

I'll be back in a second.

0:03:300:03:32

I'm trying to impress Christina.

0:03:340:03:36

A man is always underdressed without a waistcoat.

0:03:360:03:40

Quite the gentleman, isn't he?

0:03:400:03:42

That could be Christina on this cigarette card.

0:03:420:03:46

Cheeky boy!

0:03:460:03:47

It's a wonderful shop! There's everything here.

0:03:470:03:49

But is there anything you like, Charles?

0:03:490:03:52

What I quite like is down here.

0:03:520:03:55

It's marked Ruskin.

0:03:550:03:58

What has caught my eye is it's priced at...

0:03:580:04:01

WHISPERS: ..£55!

0:04:010:04:03

And that's really cheap. The problem is, it says "cracked".

0:04:030:04:07

If it wasn't cracked, it could be worth £300 or £400.

0:04:070:04:12

Well, Charles, that's quite a find.

0:04:120:04:15

-Trevor?

-Yeah.

0:04:150:04:16

-I couldn't look in your cabinet?

-You're welcome.

0:04:160:04:19

I just noticed on this shelf down here a nice Ruskin bowl.

0:04:190:04:23

Yes, it has a crack in it.

0:04:230:04:25

-Has a crack.

-It's incredibly thin.

-Is it?

-Yeah.

0:04:250:04:28

-You're circa 1920, aren't you, with this?

-I'm sure.

0:04:280:04:32

It's Ruskin copying the great Chinese master potters

0:04:320:04:37

in their flambe and other glazes.

0:04:370:04:40

Trevor, what's your best price on that?

0:04:400:04:42

-Charles...

-Trevor.

-..you're a nice guy.

-Yes, mate!

0:04:420:04:45

-You don't give any nasty pressure.

-No.

0:04:450:04:48

-£30.

-Trevor, you say 30. I'm always one to come back.

0:04:480:04:53

I think one's got to negotiate and make a counter offer.

0:04:530:04:56

-Would you take £25?

-I would, Charles.

0:04:560:04:58

-Would you really, Trevor?

-Yes.

-Because it's just got to go?

-No.

0:04:580:05:03

Because it's as sunny as you are!

0:05:030:05:05

Ha ha! He's a jolly fellow!

0:05:050:05:07

I'm really excited.

0:05:070:05:10

What Trevor doesn't realise

0:05:100:05:12

is that on the bottom it's dated 1917.

0:05:120:05:16

It's also not cracked. Um...

0:05:160:05:20

And I think it's really nice. I think it's worth £100.

0:05:200:05:24

Hanson! Off and running!

0:05:240:05:27

Well, Charles, that might make you a pretty packet at auction,

0:05:280:05:31

so Christina's got some serious catching up to do.

0:05:310:05:34

-Thanks very much, Trevor. Good to see you again.

-Good luck.

0:05:340:05:38

Her first shop was once a stable

0:05:410:05:44

built to serve one of the world's first train stations.

0:05:440:05:47

With so much history packed in, she'll have to work hard

0:05:470:05:50

to find the right piece for profit in this place.

0:05:500:05:53

I'm looking for one thing - possibly one or two things -

0:05:530:05:57

which are going to make me big money.

0:05:570:05:59

"Needle" and "haystack"... springs to mind.

0:05:590:06:03

It'll be fine.

0:06:030:06:05

This labyrinth of antiques

0:06:050:06:07

is putting our girl in a bit of a spin.

0:06:070:06:09

-I just want to tidy it all up!

-LAUGHS

0:06:090:06:13

With so much choice,

0:06:140:06:16

Christina's turning to the auction house for divine inspiration.

0:06:160:06:21

..ceramics and Chinese.

0:06:210:06:22

So, really, we're looking for jewellery and silver,

0:06:220:06:24

ceramics and Chinese?

0:06:240:06:25

Bye, bye.

0:06:250:06:27

It's very much "smalls".

0:06:270:06:29

In that case, furniture's out.

0:06:290:06:32

-BREATHES IN

-No pressure(!)

0:06:320:06:35

Armed with that advice, there'll be no more horsing about.

0:06:350:06:39

It looks almost Picasso in inspiration, doesn't it?

0:06:390:06:42

It's quite lovely. I like that.

0:06:420:06:44

Quite a nice shape, very displayable.

0:06:440:06:48

It's the kind of thing that my granny would have loved,

0:06:480:06:51

and is coming back into vogue now.

0:06:510:06:52

Christina's first find is an Italian art pottery jug.

0:06:520:06:56

Now she's on a roll.

0:06:560:06:57

So, these would have been carpet bowls,

0:06:570:07:00

or ARE carpet bowls.

0:07:000:07:02

You would have played...

0:07:020:07:05

your carpet bowls inside as a game.

0:07:050:07:09

Like you play crown green balls now.

0:07:090:07:11

You really want to make sure that they've got no chips to the glaze.

0:07:110:07:15

These haven't, as far as I can see.

0:07:150:07:17

And they're nice decorative things, nice colour.

0:07:170:07:20

Together, they make quite a nice little display.

0:07:200:07:23

They're marked up at £6 each.

0:07:230:07:25

At last, she's bowled over,

0:07:250:07:27

but can she strike a deal with owner Paul?

0:07:270:07:30

Paul, what's your thoughts on...

0:07:300:07:34

..a jug and some carpet bowls?

0:07:350:07:37

-£20 the lot.

-That sounds like quite a lot of money.

0:07:370:07:41

-That's cheap.

-No?

-I had hours of fun with them bowls.

0:07:420:07:45

Oh, he's a lot of fun.

0:07:450:07:48

I was thinking more like a tenner.

0:07:480:07:51

-We're in 2013.

-I know.

-The war's over!

0:07:510:07:56

-I'll take 15 quid for them.

-I'm still at a tenner.

0:07:560:07:59

-Go on.

-They're cheap at 15.

-Go on. A tenner. I need the head start!

0:07:590:08:03

-Split the difference at 12?

-Yeah. Go on.

-Yeah? Do me at 12?

-Yeah.

0:08:030:08:07

Brilliant. You're a star. Thank you very much.

0:08:070:08:10

She knows how to get what she wants.

0:08:100:08:12

With deal at £12,

0:08:120:08:14

it's time to hit the road once more

0:08:140:08:16

and make the short journey towards Prescot.

0:08:160:08:19

Sitting on the edge of town is our next stop, Knowsley Hall,

0:08:210:08:25

a 2,500-acre estate.

0:08:250:08:28

And all this beautiful countryside is inspiring our eager experts

0:08:280:08:33

to stage an impromptu rescue attempt.

0:08:330:08:35

-LAMB BLEATS

-Go on, Charlie!

0:08:350:08:37

-Come on!

-Go on, Charlie! Go on!

0:08:370:08:39

You shoo him back here, I'll catch him.

0:08:390:08:42

Oh, no. Come on!

0:08:420:08:44

-Well done!

-Come on.

0:08:480:08:50

-Yay!

-There you go.

0:08:500:08:52

What a hero he is!

0:08:520:08:54

Now, hurry along, Charles, cos Christina has an important date.

0:08:540:08:59

-Have fun.

-Bye.

-Bye.

0:08:590:09:01

The current resident of Knowsley Hall

0:09:030:09:05

is the 19th Earl of Derby.

0:09:050:09:08

His family's history is closely connected to the history of Britain

0:09:080:09:12

and includes a Prime Minister, a champion of William Shakespeare

0:09:120:09:16

and close ties to the royal family stretching back to Richard III.

0:09:160:09:20

Despite all that, it's the family's passion for horse racing

0:09:200:09:25

that's arguably been their biggest contribution to British life.

0:09:250:09:28

They created their namesake, the Derby,

0:09:280:09:32

the best-known horse race in the world.

0:09:320:09:35

GALLOPING HOOVES

0:09:370:09:39

-You must be Lord Derby.

-Hi there.

0:09:420:09:43

-I'm Lord Derby, nice to meet you.

-Thank you so much for having us.

0:09:430:09:46

Your house is absolutely stunning.

0:09:460:09:48

I'm very proud to be part of a long lineage here.

0:09:480:09:52

The family have lived here for 600 years.

0:09:520:09:54

-There's obviously been a link with horses.

-A huge link with horses.

0:09:540:09:59

Going way, way back, pre-Civil War.

0:09:590:10:03

Here at Knowsley in the park, there was a racecourse.

0:10:030:10:06

-This is the park of this house?

-This is the park.

0:10:060:10:09

That tower which was a lookout for the racecourse is still there.

0:10:090:10:13

It shows that that family link with racing goes on a long way.

0:10:130:10:18

It was the 12th Earl of Derby who started the Epsom Oaks in 1779,

0:10:200:10:26

and then the Derby a year later,

0:10:260:10:29

marking the beginning of the sport as we know it today.

0:10:290:10:31

The naming of the Derby was at a dinner party at Epsom,

0:10:310:10:35

and a toss of a coin between Sir Charles Bunbury and Lord Derby.

0:10:350:10:40

Derby won the toss, but Diomed, Sir Charles Bunbury's horse,

0:10:400:10:44

-won the first running of the race.

-That's very diplomatic!

0:10:440:10:47

It took another nine years till Derby could win it.

0:10:470:10:52

The family have had great success across the generations,

0:10:550:10:58

right up to today, with Lord Derby's own champion horse,

0:10:580:11:03

Ouija Board.

0:11:030:11:05

And of course, their name has gone beyond horse racing

0:11:050:11:09

and has spread into other sporting events.

0:11:090:11:12

It really has flourished

0:11:150:11:17

into all these wonderful international events!

0:11:170:11:19

It's spread out into all these international events.

0:11:190:11:22

We've gone beyond racing.

0:11:220:11:24

We've got donkey derbies and demolition derbies...

0:11:240:11:26

What a sporting legacy to uphold!

0:11:260:11:28

Quite a sporting legacy! Quite a family history!

0:11:280:11:31

I'm very proud to be part of such an illustrious and long family history.

0:11:310:11:36

With Christina otherwise engaged,

0:11:360:11:38

Charles is trotting round the countryside on his own...

0:11:380:11:41

HORN HONKS

0:11:410:11:42

..en route to Wigan in Greater Manchester

0:11:430:11:47

one of the first towns in the country to feature a railway.

0:11:470:11:51

George Orwell also brought fame to the town

0:11:510:11:54

with his book The Road To Wigan Pier,

0:11:540:11:57

largely concerned with England's working poor.

0:11:570:12:01

Today, however, the area is the centre

0:12:010:12:03

of a large regeneration project.

0:12:030:12:05

Can our Charles turn rags to riches at his next stop, JW Antiques?

0:12:050:12:10

He's certainly keeping his eyes peeled for a bargain!

0:12:150:12:19

I'm short-sighted.

0:12:190:12:21

Looking good, Charles!

0:12:220:12:24

No, it's not very good. I can't see a thing.

0:12:240:12:27

When it comes to afternoon tea, you might take a seat...

0:12:290:12:32

"How are you, darling?" "How are you?"

0:12:320:12:34

Oh, Charles! First, it's an imaginary friend.

0:12:340:12:37

Now a tea party on the floor!

0:12:370:12:40

We've got some chips on the rims over there.

0:12:400:12:43

We've got a nice set of three milk down to cream jugs

0:12:430:12:47

and a small jug for in between,

0:12:470:12:49

and that lovely condiment set - just gorgeous and so complete.

0:12:490:12:55

This Art Deco tea and coffee set dates from the 1930s

0:12:550:12:58

and has a price tag of £80

0:12:580:13:00

for the lot.

0:13:000:13:03

What's he up to now?

0:13:050:13:07

He's picking up items by the bucket-load, with the help of John.

0:13:070:13:12

The reason I quite like this bucket is because clearly it has some age.

0:13:120:13:17

It's quite rustic. It's coopered.

0:13:170:13:19

Which is this iron or... Yeah, it is, cast-iron binding.

0:13:190:13:24

I think it's pine, isn't it?

0:13:240:13:26

That's just quite a nice bucket.

0:13:260:13:29

If I said to you, John, what sort of value on this bucket,

0:13:290:13:33

what would you tell me? What's it worth?

0:13:330:13:35

To a poor man from Derbyshire, John, looking to earn a buck at auction.

0:13:350:13:39

Let the man think, Charles!

0:13:390:13:41

-45.

-OK.

0:13:430:13:45

-I'll give it some thought.

-No problem.

-He's saying...

0:13:450:13:48

That man over there is saying how much?

0:13:480:13:51

-'£25!'

-£25. Do you know him?

-Yeah.

0:13:510:13:55

-Oh, I know him, yeah.

-Good man. I'll give it some thought!

0:13:550:13:58

Oh, boss Will says £25.

0:13:580:14:02

There's no stopping you now, Charles,

0:14:020:14:04

as he's spotted another piece.

0:14:040:14:06

I like this. This is of Newcastle on Tyne,

0:14:060:14:08

and they're flowering out in a great Deco style.

0:14:080:14:11

It's called the crocus pattern.

0:14:110:14:13

It's quite nice, it's not in bad condition.

0:14:130:14:15

Charles is adding this crocus pattern pottery bowl

0:14:150:14:19

to the items on his wish list,

0:14:190:14:21

already featuring the 18th-century peat bucket

0:14:210:14:24

and the coffee and tea set.

0:14:240:14:26

Right, boys. Prepare yourselves. Hanson's ready to deal.

0:14:260:14:30

-I think you said the best on the bucket was 20.

-Yeah.

0:14:300:14:33

Actually, Charles, it was 25, but who's counting?

0:14:330:14:36

-What's the best on the bowl?

-That is the best.

0:14:360:14:39

-20?

-Yeah.

0:14:390:14:41

What's the best price, John, on that big coffee set?

0:14:410:14:44

I would value that at between 50 and 80 at auction.

0:14:440:14:47

I want to buy it for about £40, but you've got your margins.

0:14:470:14:51

-If you want it for 50, you can have it.

-Yeah...

0:14:510:14:54

-And you'll make money on it.

-Yeah. It's tempting.

0:14:540:14:57

If I said to you I'm going to buy the peat bucket for 20, 20 for that,

0:14:570:15:02

and rather than paying 50 for that big set...

0:15:020:15:06

..would you accept 40? You would?

0:15:080:15:11

Thank you, John. I'll take the whole lot.

0:15:110:15:14

Chancer Charles wins again

0:15:140:15:16

and is walking away with the coffee and tea set for £40,

0:15:160:15:20

the pottery bowl for £20 and the bucket also for £20.

0:15:200:15:24

Bargains all round!

0:15:240:15:26

But can Christina do even better?

0:15:280:15:31

she's been making her way

0:15:310:15:33

to the small town of Bretherton.

0:15:330:15:35

With a recorded history going back over 800 years,

0:15:390:15:42

perhaps Bretherton's biggest claim to fame is its association

0:15:420:15:46

with the father of British astronomy, Jeremiah Horrocks.

0:15:460:15:50

The perfect place for Christina to reach for the stars

0:15:500:15:53

with her remaining £217.20p.

0:15:530:15:56

-Hello!

-Hello, Christina. It's lovely to see you.

0:15:560:16:01

-What's your name?

-Aiden.

-Nice to meet you, Aiden.

0:16:010:16:03

-Thank you so much for having us.

-You're welcome.

0:16:030:16:06

This looks wonderful! How exciting.

0:16:060:16:07

I wonder what we can tempt you with. We want you to make a profit.

0:16:070:16:11

Ah, excellent, Christina, a partner in crime, eh?

0:16:110:16:15

-Jewellery here.

-And silver there, brilliant.

0:16:150:16:18

I'm not an expert on me jewellery.

0:16:180:16:20

Well, Aiden, luckily our girl is - so move aside.

0:16:200:16:23

That's nice, that little pepper.

0:16:230:16:27

This Edwardian silver pepperette has caught Christina's eye.

0:16:270:16:31

Nice Birmingham hallmark.

0:16:310:16:33

-I can see it's already got a blue glass liner...

-Which is nice.

0:16:330:16:35

-..which really helps.

-And original.

0:16:350:16:37

-And it's some original pepper!

-Yep. SHE LAUGHS

0:16:370:16:40

-It just screams Art Nouveau, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

0:16:400:16:42

-So...

-What's it got on it?

-You've got £80 on that.

-£80?

0:16:420:16:46

-I know you like a bargain, don't you?

-I NEED a bargain.

0:16:460:16:49

You need a bargain!

0:16:490:16:51

How's 40?

0:16:510:16:53

Half price? He's trying hard, Christina.

0:16:530:16:56

-That's a big drop.

-Wow! That is a big drop! Incredibly kind.

0:16:560:16:59

-We want you to make a profit!

-Thank you.

-Eh?

0:16:590:17:02

Huh! Team Christina all the way!

0:17:020:17:05

-Ooh, those buttons are nice.

-They are nice, those.

0:17:050:17:08

Yeah. Oh, Chester as well. Those are lovely.

0:17:080:17:11

Great you've got the original box and there's still six.

0:17:110:17:14

-You've got a good eye, haven't you?

-I try!

-Yeah!

-Not so far, I'm losing!

0:17:140:17:19

No, you're picking nice pieces.

0:17:190:17:20

The case of six Edwardian silver buttons dates from 1903

0:17:200:17:25

and are priced at £125.

0:17:250:17:27

I would look at those and I would say 80 to 120 at auction.

0:17:270:17:30

-Right. So...

-Can you do something like 75...?

-Oooh!

0:17:300:17:35

-I know you're pretty!

-Go on.

-It's that smile you've got, isn't it?

0:17:350:17:40

Good job not all my customers have got smiles or I'd be broke!

0:17:400:17:43

CHRISTINA LAUGHS Go on, then. We want you to win.

0:17:430:17:46

-Brilliant. Can we do it at 75?

-75.

0:17:460:17:48

-Oh, my...

-I'm in shock.

-I don't know how much money I've got.

0:17:480:17:51

-I'm spending too much money!

-I hope you've run out!

0:17:510:17:53

Yeah, I think I might have done.

0:17:530:17:55

Relax, Christina. There's still £102.20p in your kitty.

0:17:550:17:59

So, can Aiden tempt you with yet more goodies?

0:17:590:18:03

-I should be looking at this!

-Yeah, £3.

0:18:030:18:05

Everything that I'm buying for £1 makes me most profit.

0:18:050:18:10

-It's ridiculous.

-How about that for a bargain?

0:18:100:18:13

Oh, he's cute. Dogs.

0:18:130:18:14

-It's got to be the right price, though.

-Right price...

0:18:140:18:16

-It's not silver.

-Going off that, you can't lose at £1, can you?

0:18:160:18:20

-£1? Are you serious?

-£1.

-Aiden, it's a deal. Thank you.

0:18:200:18:23

-It's only cos you're smiling!

-Brilliant, thank you.

0:18:230:18:27

-I'm a sucker for a smile.

-I'll take it.

0:18:270:18:28

-You're welcome.

-Fantastic. You're a star!

0:18:280:18:30

A silver-plated dog for a £1 note?

0:18:300:18:33

You'd have to be barking mad to say no, Christina.

0:18:330:18:36

Added to the buttons and the pepperette,

0:18:360:18:39

she's walking away with a silver haul.

0:18:390:18:42

-Shall we call it 115?

-How much is it?

0:18:420:18:43

-116.

-Go on, then!

0:18:430:18:46

She's done it again!

0:18:460:18:48

-Thank you very much.

-Mwah!

0:18:480:18:49

Ah! What a gentleman!

0:18:490:18:51

And a kiss to seal the deal.

0:18:510:18:53

'Back on the road together, and Charles is turning on the charm.

0:18:570:19:00

-You've got the X factor.

-Oh, don't be daft.

0:19:000:19:02

You have! You've got those eyelashes...

0:19:020:19:04

-If I've got the X factor, what have you got?

-It's a good question.

0:19:040:19:07

What have I got?

0:19:070:19:08

-You have natural talent.

-Thank you very much. You can come again.

0:19:080:19:12

Don't encourage him, Christina.

0:19:130:19:16

They're making the short journey to the village of Eccleston,

0:19:160:19:18

home to Olympic gold cyclist extraordinaire,

0:19:180:19:22

Sir Bradley Wiggins.

0:19:220:19:24

And two old weaving mills -

0:19:260:19:29

one of which is now being converted

0:19:290:19:31

into an Aladdin's cave of antiques and collectables.

0:19:310:19:34

Let's get shopping.

0:19:340:19:35

-Which way are you going?

-That way.

-OK. See you later.

0:19:350:19:39

Good luck.

0:19:390:19:41

And they're off, scouring their final shop of the day.

0:19:420:19:45

Ah!

0:19:470:19:48

This man is almost a lookalike for Charlie Ross!

0:19:480:19:51

Charlie, would you mind? Thanks, mate. You're a good man.

0:19:510:19:54

How rude!

0:19:540:19:56

-SHE WOLF WHISTLES

-Oh, my!

0:19:560:19:58

SHE LAUGHS

0:19:580:20:00

He's going to get so lost! Think I ought to give him a map?

0:20:010:20:05

Not a bad idea, girl.

0:20:050:20:07

With the clock ticking, Charles is feeling the pressure.

0:20:100:20:13

-Any bargains in there?

-I don't know.

0:20:150:20:17

I feel antiqued out! It's just huge.

0:20:190:20:22

After an hour of searching,

0:20:220:20:24

Charles makes a last mad dash for a final purchase

0:20:240:20:28

in Antico, across the road.

0:20:280:20:31

Ah, hello.

0:20:310:20:33

-Sir, Charles Hanson. Your name is?

-Darren.

-Hi, Darren.

0:20:330:20:36

-Can I wander round?

-Course you can.

-Lovely. I'm going to be really quick.

0:20:360:20:40

Meanwhile, already armed with five lots,

0:20:410:20:43

Christina decides to ditch shopping

0:20:430:20:45

for an altogether more relaxing experience.

0:20:450:20:49

Enjoy this sunshine!

0:20:490:20:51

Time's running out, Charles.

0:20:530:20:56

I'm struggling here.

0:20:560:20:57

-There's a nice little wall stand that I bought this morning.

-Oh, yes?

0:20:570:21:02

Darren, that's quite nice, actually.

0:21:020:21:04

Has he finally found his last lot in this late Victorian wall rack?

0:21:040:21:09

What I love about this is the turning.

0:21:090:21:13

Walnut and ebonised on mahogany shelf tiers.

0:21:130:21:17

-It is - what, 1880?

-Yeah.

0:21:170:21:19

1870. And you'll tell me, Charles, it's how much?

0:21:190:21:23

45 to you.

0:21:230:21:25

-You wouldn't take 30 for it?

-No.

0:21:250:21:27

-In cash.

-No.

-Darren look at me.

-No, it's got to be £40.

-For me?

0:21:270:21:32

-No less?

-No. £40.

0:21:320:21:35

I'll take it. Go on. Sold.

0:21:350:21:37

£40, that's my fifth item.

0:21:370:21:39

I'm happy.

0:21:390:21:40

At last, he's walking away with the wall rack.

0:21:400:21:44

And the shopping is all done.

0:21:450:21:47

Charles started this leg in the lead with £391.96p.

0:21:470:21:52

He's parted with £145 and is offering up five lots. -

0:21:520:21:56

a peat bucket,

0:21:560:21:57

a crocus-pattern bowl,

0:21:570:21:59

a Ruskin stoneware bowl,

0:21:590:22:00

an Art Deco tea and coffee service

0:22:000:22:02

and a walnut wall rack.

0:22:020:22:04

Christina began with £229.20p and also has five items,

0:22:040:22:09

at a cost of £127

0:22:090:22:11

for a silver-plated dog,

0:22:110:22:13

six Edwardian silver buttons,

0:22:130:22:15

a silver pepperette,

0:22:150:22:17

four porcelain carpet bowls

0:22:170:22:19

and an Italian art pottery jug.

0:22:190:22:21

So, what do they think of each other's wares?

0:22:210:22:24

I have to be honest, I think he's bought some pretty things...

0:22:240:22:28

..but I don't think there's anything that's going to completely run away

0:22:290:22:32

and make a fortune.

0:22:320:22:33

The bucket's nice...

0:22:330:22:35

but it's a bucket, isn't it?

0:22:350:22:36

Yes, I would swap some of my items for hers,

0:22:360:22:39

but I'm still very content to sit pretty.

0:22:390:22:42

And, Christina - watch, girl, and learn.

0:22:420:22:44

Ooh! That's fighting talk, Charles.

0:22:440:22:47

It doesn't look like it's letting up on the road, either.

0:22:470:22:50

They're heading to auction

0:22:510:22:53

in the seaside resort of Lytham St Annes near Blackpool.

0:22:530:22:57

Consisting of two neighbours,

0:22:570:22:58

the 19th-century planned town of St Annes

0:22:580:23:02

and its older counterpart Lytham,

0:23:020:23:04

this area has been a popular holiday destination since Victorian times.

0:23:040:23:09

They're going to Gerrards auctioneers and valuers,

0:23:090:23:12

where today's auction is in the room, over the phone and online,

0:23:120:23:16

Jonathan Cook's got the gavel in his grasp.

0:23:160:23:18

First up is Christina and her silver-plated dog.

0:23:200:23:23

£20 on the net. Any advance on 20?

0:23:230:23:26

-£20!

-Where'd that come from?

0:23:260:23:29

Any advance on 20 in the room? 22 on the net.

0:23:290:23:31

24. 26.

0:23:310:23:34

-Well done. I don't believe this.

-All finished at £28...?

0:23:340:23:38

-Brilliant!

-Yay!

0:23:400:23:43

That profit will keep you out of the doghouse for a while, Christina.

0:23:430:23:47

Can Charles also rack up a profit with his first lot of the day?

0:23:480:23:52

Bids there at £28.

0:23:520:23:55

At 28. 30. £32? On the net at 32.

0:23:550:24:00

34. 36.

0:24:000:24:02

At £36 on the net. Any advance in the room? At £36...

0:24:020:24:06

Do sit still, Charles.

0:24:060:24:08

-..At 40, £40.

-Calm down!

0:24:080:24:11

42 on the phone! At £42, then. Sell away at 42...

0:24:110:24:16

After all the time he took to find it,

0:24:180:24:21

his £2 profit will be wiped out by auction house costs.

0:24:210:24:25

Shame.

0:24:250:24:26

Back to Christina.

0:24:280:24:30

Will her horsey Italian jug see her galloping into profit?

0:24:300:24:34

£10 on the net. £10 on the internet. Any advance in the room...?

0:24:340:24:39

-They don't like my jug.

-It's a profit.

0:24:390:24:42

-They don't like my jug.

-It's a profit, though, isn't it?

0:24:420:24:46

-You're just warming up still.

-OK. I'd better warm up quickly.

0:24:460:24:50

Indeed, Christina,

0:24:500:24:51

as most of that small profit will be eaten up in costs.

0:24:510:24:56

Charles again, now,

0:24:560:24:58

with his late 18th-century pine peat bucket.

0:24:580:25:01

£25. 26. At 26. 30.

0:25:010:25:05

-£30. Five. 40.

-See?

-Keep going.

0:25:050:25:08

Five. 50. £50. Any advance on 50?

0:25:080:25:12

There's a bucket-load of profit there for you, Charles. Well done.

0:25:130:25:18

Can Christina follow suit with the Art Nouveau silver buttons?

0:25:190:25:23

£28. £30. 32.

0:25:230:25:26

34. 36. 38. 40.

0:25:260:25:29

42. 44. 46.

0:25:290:25:31

£46 on the net. 48. 50.

0:25:310:25:34

Five. 60. Five.

0:25:340:25:37

At £65. Any advance in the room?

0:25:370:25:40

-Come on!

-£65.

0:25:400:25:42

Ah! It's a blow, with a £10 loss.

0:25:430:25:46

Staying with silver,

0:25:480:25:50

can her pepperette sprinkle her with profit?

0:25:500:25:53

Starting off at 28. 30. 32. 34. 36.

0:25:530:25:56

-Brilliant.

-At £36. 38. 40.

0:25:560:25:59

-You're in profit.

-At £40. 42. 44...

0:25:590:26:02

A lot of interest here, Christina.

0:26:020:26:05

..Five. 60. Five. 70. 75.

0:26:050:26:09

-80. Five.

-Oh!

0:26:090:26:13

One more! Go 88.

0:26:130:26:15

88?

0:26:150:26:16

£88. 90.

0:26:170:26:19

Thank you anyway, madam.

0:26:190:26:21

£90, are we all sure?

0:26:210:26:23

£51 profit on the pepperette!

0:26:240:26:26

That's not to be sneezed at! Ha!

0:26:260:26:30

Over to Charles and his crocus pattern pottery bowl.

0:26:300:26:34

-£10. Any advance on ten?

-A tenner!

0:26:340:26:37

-It's lovely, in perfect condition.

-£12. 14 on the net.

0:26:370:26:41

-Keep going.

-14. 16.

0:26:410:26:43

-18. 20.

-Oh, yes!

0:26:430:26:46

Sell away at 20...

0:26:460:26:49

-It's one of mine. Thanks.

-No-one would have guessed(!)

0:26:490:26:53

It may be in perfect condition, but it's breaking even.

0:26:530:26:58

No profits here, Charles.

0:26:580:27:00

Next is Charles' tea and coffee set, circa 1930.

0:27:010:27:05

£50 bid on the net. 55.

0:27:050:27:08

-Go on.

-60. Five.

0:27:080:27:10

-70. 75.

-Keep going, boy.

0:27:100:27:13

-£80 on the net.

-Keep going.

-It's going to sell. £80...

0:27:130:27:17

Cor! He's doubled his money with that lot.

0:27:170:27:20

Will Christina's carpet bowls help her roll into bigger profits?

0:27:200:27:25

Tenner at the back. £10. Gent's bid at ten.

0:27:250:27:29

At £10. Any advance on ten?

0:27:290:27:31

12 on the net. 14.

0:27:310:27:33

No further interest.

0:27:330:27:35

-No interest at all...

-Get on with it!

0:27:350:27:38

-Are we all sure?

-Bring that gavel down!

0:27:380:27:40

Another £9 in the bank, Christina.

0:27:410:27:44

Last up is Charles, with his Ruskin stoneware bowl.

0:27:440:27:49

Can he capitalise on its good condition?

0:27:490:27:53

-Nice thing this.

-It IS a good thing.

-Start it off at £100.

0:27:530:27:57

£100. 110. 120...

0:27:570:27:59

Go on, boy! We're riding!

0:27:590:28:02

..140. 150.

0:28:020:28:05

-160.

-Keep going, boy.

-£170, all finished...?

0:28:050:28:09

It's a cracker! £145 profit. Wow!

0:28:100:28:15

-That is absolutely phenomenal.

-Can't believe it.

0:28:170:28:19

-I'm over the moon.

-Well done.

-Thank you!

0:28:190:28:21

You are out of this world, Charles, with two auction wins in a row.

0:28:210:28:25

Well done.

0:28:250:28:26

Christina Trevanion started with £229.20p.

0:28:270:28:32

After auction costs, she's made a profit of £42.74p,

0:28:320:28:36

which makes her total for the next round...

0:28:360:28:40

But, having started with £391.96p,

0:28:430:28:46

Charles Hanson has made a hefty profit, of £151.84p after costs,

0:28:460:28:52

increasing his lead and giving him £543.80p

0:28:520:28:57

to flash on the next leg.

0:28:570:29:00

-Shall I drive?

-Yes, why not?

0:29:000:29:02

You've made such a phenomenal profit. I'm slightly in shock still.

0:29:020:29:05

-I literally cannot believe it.

-I love Lytham!

-I bet you do.

0:29:050:29:11

Long live Lytham.

0:29:110:29:13

-Let's go. On to Leeds.

-Off we go.

0:29:130:29:16

HORN HONKS

0:29:160:29:18

On this leg they kick off in Leeds, Yorkshire,

0:29:190:29:22

before heading north for auction in Penrith in Cumbria.

0:29:220:29:25

-Madam.

-Thank you very much.

0:29:250:29:28

-Your driver will depart.

-See you later.

-Go for it.

-Bye.

0:29:280:29:31

Having lost the last auction,

0:29:310:29:33

Christina's determined to get on the front foot

0:29:330:29:35

and spend some of her £271.94p.

0:29:350:29:40

-Hello.

-Hello.

0:29:400:29:41

-I'm Christina.

-I'm Pete.

-Pete, nice to meet you, Pete.

0:29:410:29:44

-Nice to meet you, Christina.

-This looks very exciting.

0:29:440:29:46

Lots of furniture, I see.

0:29:460:29:48

More besides...

0:29:480:29:51

Show me your empire.

0:29:510:29:52

-Bit more furniture.

-Bit more furniture in here.

0:29:520:29:54

This could be quite a task.

0:29:540:29:57

I've only got £271 to spend.

0:29:570:30:00

I need to come up with something really golden.

0:30:010:30:03

Oh, Lordy!

0:30:030:30:05

The search goes on.

0:30:070:30:09

It's amazing what you can come up with.

0:30:090:30:11

Oh! There's a big spider in there!

0:30:110:30:14

Ooooh! I don't like spiders.

0:30:160:30:18

Maybe it's time to consult Pete.

0:30:180:30:21

There's this dressing table.

0:30:210:30:23

-It's got this sort of tambour...

-Yes, they're little tambour...

0:30:230:30:26

..tops.

0:30:260:30:28

Ooh!

0:30:280:30:30

Ow!

0:30:300:30:31

They're vicious!

0:30:310:30:33

I don't think we're seeing it at its best.

0:30:330:30:35

So what's that sort of money?

0:30:350:30:37

45.

0:30:370:30:39

45 quid.

0:30:390:30:40

It's a big lump.

0:30:400:30:42

That's what concerns me. It's a big bit of furniture.

0:30:420:30:45

Not many people could accommodate it in their homes...

0:30:450:30:47

but there's something about it that I just quite like.

0:30:470:30:50

And what would that be, Christina?

0:30:500:30:52

£20?

0:30:520:30:54

-35.

-Come on, Pete.

0:30:540:30:56

30.

0:30:560:30:57

-Oh, go on, 20, it gives me a fighting...

-25 and that's, that's...

0:30:570:31:01

It gives me a fighting chance at £20.

0:31:010:31:03

-OK, 20. It's done.

-Yeah?

-OK, yeah.

-Pete, you're a legend. Thank you.

0:31:030:31:07

It's either going to be brilliant or it's going to bomb spectacularly,

0:31:070:31:10

and I think it's probably going to be the latter!

0:31:100:31:12

Possibly, but isn't it staggering

0:31:120:31:14

that you can pick up a substantial piece of furniture for just £20?

0:31:140:31:19

Now, here's Charles, feeling confident with £543.80p to his name.

0:31:190:31:24

-How are you?

-Fine.

0:31:240:31:26

-I'm Charles Hanson.

-I'm John.

0:31:260:31:27

-Good to see you, John.

-Welcome to our emporium.

0:31:270:31:29

He may be looking to score here at Swiss Cottage,

0:31:300:31:33

but in this game it's all about responding

0:31:330:31:35

to whatever life delivers.

0:31:350:31:38

Is there anything here, John, that's quite quirky,

0:31:380:31:40

that's quite different, that's quite...radical?

0:31:400:31:43

Bull's head, if you want quirky.

0:31:430:31:45

Golly!

0:31:450:31:46

It's an old one, isn't it, the bull's head.

0:31:460:31:48

Tell me where it came from?

0:31:480:31:50

A butcher's, one of the old-style butcher's.

0:31:500:31:52

He's a bit tired, isn't he? He's been a bit moth-eaten.

0:31:520:31:56

-But it's got a big price, hasn't it? 350.

-It's a big price, yes.

-Yeah.

0:31:560:31:59

What's the very best, John, if our horns were locked at 350?

0:31:590:32:02

-300 we'd come down...

-That's the very best, is it?

-Yes.

0:32:020:32:05

I would just be taking too much of a gamble at £300. I'll leave it.

0:32:050:32:09

Never mind! There's plenty more wildlife to be spotted around here.

0:32:090:32:12

And they're nice up there.

0:32:120:32:15

These red leaping deer capture the Art Deco, and that's really nice.

0:32:150:32:21

This is a vase that goes with it.

0:32:210:32:24

And there we are. They're made by Crown Devon.

0:32:240:32:26

And Crown Devon were a really forward-thinking

0:32:260:32:31

Art Deco manufacturer.

0:32:310:32:33

They're all been priced individually. It's just a lovely ensemble.

0:32:330:32:38

£175, and actually I would want the whole lot going together

0:32:380:32:42

as one bundle of Art Deco joy.

0:32:420:32:46

-Hi, John.

-Hiya.

0:32:460:32:48

What would be your best price for the famous five?

0:32:480:32:51

-110.

-110.

0:32:510:32:53

The only concern is if it's a general sale

0:32:530:32:55

and it's a real bric-a-brac affair...

0:32:550:32:58

-It's all there.

-They might get lost.

0:32:580:33:00

I'm going to think about it. £110 is a really good offer,

0:33:000:33:04

but I need to be really sure about it.

0:33:040:33:06

Hang on! He's off.

0:33:060:33:07

Charles is having his usual trouble, though, getting started, it seems.

0:33:070:33:11

Christina, meanwhile, has left town with Morris.

0:33:150:33:19

Whoo!

0:33:190:33:20

Motoring from Leeds over to Shipley...

0:33:210:33:25

and the historic Victorian village of Saltaire.

0:33:250:33:28

She's not here for the World Heritage site, though...

0:33:280:33:32

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Hi.

0:33:340:33:35

-Are you Malcolm?

-I am, yes.

-Hi, Malcolm.

-Nice to meet you.

0:33:350:33:38

I'm Christina, very nice to meet you.

0:33:380:33:39

-Nice to see you.

-This is amazing.

-Oh, yes. It's a treasure trove.

0:33:390:33:42

Malcolm's establishment on the third floor of an old textile mill

0:33:430:33:47

has a bit of everything.

0:33:470:33:48

Not that that always helps!

0:33:480:33:51

Mr Bond, I've been expecting you.

0:33:510:33:53

I love that! Look at that! How cool is that?

0:33:540:33:57

Chrome Deco aeroplane cruet. That's awesome.

0:33:570:34:01

Practical too.

0:34:010:34:03

-You're looking at this?

-Yes, please.

0:34:030:34:05

I think it's quite fun.

0:34:050:34:07

I mean, I think it's terrible.

0:34:070:34:08

It's obviously in very bad condition and not worth that at all.

0:34:080:34:11

Oh, that ploy!

0:34:110:34:13

So the ticket price is...

0:34:130:34:15

-£68.

-Right.

0:34:150:34:18

I'll have to ring him, but I can normally work up to 10%.

0:34:180:34:21

-So that's £6.80.

-But I'd...

-That's £60-ish.

-Well, I'd say £60.

0:34:210:34:25

But I can always ring and see if I can squeeze a bit more out.

0:34:250:34:29

That would be amazing.

0:34:290:34:30

-Especially as a lot of the chrome is peeling on there.

-Yeah.

0:34:300:34:33

-But it's an unusual thing, isn't it?

-No!

0:34:330:34:36

-I see them every day!

-Do you? Oh, right.

0:34:360:34:38

Get me another one, then!

0:34:380:34:40

-Right, I'll go and ask.

-Thank you.

-I'll come back.

0:34:400:34:43

But I think it looks very Art Deco. It's also got a registered number

0:34:430:34:47

on the back there which is a good sign.

0:34:470:34:49

But it's just a bit of fun, isn't it?

0:34:490:34:52

He's back.

0:34:520:34:53

-Can't get hold of him.

-Oh!

-So...

-Oh?

0:34:530:34:58

I will...

0:34:580:34:59

I'll do it at...

0:34:590:35:02

Yes?

0:35:020:35:03

..56.

0:35:050:35:06

Mmm.

0:35:060:35:07

-56? That's your absolute maximum?

-It is.

0:35:070:35:09

Because what I'm doing is taking the commission off.

0:35:090:35:11

-I'm asking for blood, aren't I?

-You are.

0:35:110:35:14

And I can't give you it.

0:35:140:35:16

-You can ask your mother.

-Is there any leverage on about £50?

0:35:160:35:20

I'm prepared to let it go at 50, but that's the best I can do.

0:35:200:35:23

OK. So £50.

0:35:230:35:25

(I like it.)

0:35:250:35:27

-(Why not have it?) What are you whispering for?

-(I don't know!)

0:35:270:35:30

Oh, go on, then! £50.

0:35:320:35:34

-All right, lovely.

-Brilliant. Thank you very much.

-You're welcome.

0:35:340:35:37

Let's go for it.

0:35:370:35:38

But while Christina's been busy buying,

0:35:420:35:45

Charles has headed for the centre of Leeds,

0:35:450:35:48

where, down on the waterfront, further along the River Aire,

0:35:480:35:51

is a museum dedicated to arms and armour.

0:35:510:35:54

-And you must be...

-I'm Karen.

-Karen. Charles Hanson.

0:35:540:35:57

Lovely to meet you, Charles.

0:35:570:35:58

Welcome to the Armouries.

0:35:580:36:00

This impressive building displays the National Collection.

0:36:010:36:04

It all started out in the Tower of London,

0:36:040:36:07

but the huge space here can display over 8,500 objects

0:36:070:36:11

and Charles is in for a behind-the-scenes treat.

0:36:110:36:15

The museum has items like this lobster-tail helmet

0:36:150:36:18

from the Civil War,

0:36:180:36:20

but Charles is here to see the much fancier tournament sword.

0:36:200:36:23

These were the jousts that began in the Middle Ages

0:36:250:36:28

and soon became a highly dangerous spectator sport.

0:36:280:36:31

Henry VIII was very keen, but so were other European monarchs.

0:36:310:36:35

This one here is one of the jewels of our collection.

0:36:350:36:38

This armour here's got a breastplate, a back plate,

0:36:380:36:41

a neck plate and full articulating arm defences.

0:36:410:36:44

-You can see how you can move.

-Yeah.

0:36:440:36:47

-What age is this?

-Precisely,

0:36:470:36:49

-and you don't often get a chance to say that, 1591.

-It's not! It's not!

0:36:490:36:54

Sophia, Electress of Saxony, wants to give her husband Christian

0:36:540:36:58

the best Christmas present ever,

0:36:580:37:01

and she orders him a suite of 12 of these.

0:37:010:37:05

It was a way of showing yourself.

0:37:050:37:08

I actually think that's why Henry VIII was so well-known

0:37:080:37:12

as a physical presence, was because he showed himself at tournaments.

0:37:120:37:16

King Henry became so enthusiastic about jousting

0:37:180:37:22

that he hired German craftsmen

0:37:220:37:24

to create his own armoury in Greenwich,

0:37:240:37:26

making plate of increasing thickness.

0:37:260:37:28

I feel fairly underdressed, I feel quite open to damage.

0:37:280:37:32

You need some extra bits.

0:37:320:37:34

This is to protect your face.

0:37:340:37:38

Because this is the most vulnerable area,

0:37:380:37:40

this is the area you're going to be hit.

0:37:400:37:42

I'm jousting in what year, in this?

0:37:420:37:45

You're jousting in about the 1580s, 1590s.

0:37:450:37:48

-In England?

-In England.

-So this is an English-made jousting outfit?

0:37:480:37:52

-English-made jousting outfit.

-I feel very humble to wear this.

0:37:520:37:55

And for sir's tootsies?

0:37:550:37:56

These are the steel feet of Henry VIII.

0:37:560:38:01

-Worn by Henry VIII?

-Worn by Henry VIII.

0:38:030:38:05

-I can't believe it.

-You can flex it.

0:38:050:38:07

It's just amazing.

0:38:070:38:09

So, essentially, Karen, they were worn like that, were they?

0:38:090:38:12

Yeah. Absolutely.

0:38:120:38:14

-So I'm actually walking...

-You're walking in Henry VIII's footsteps.

0:38:140:38:17

That's just incredible.

0:38:170:38:19

But these shoes are by no means the only items of armour

0:38:200:38:23

that once belonged to Henry here.

0:38:230:38:25

There's a complete suit, for example,

0:38:250:38:28

made for the young king at a very famous joust.

0:38:280:38:30

Well, here we are in the Tournament Gallery

0:38:300:38:32

and I'm going to show you an armour for Henry VIII

0:38:320:38:36

made for him when he was a young man, still in his 20s.

0:38:360:38:39

It was made for him to wear at the Field of Cloth of Gold tournament.

0:38:390:38:43

-Gosh!

-A magnificent tournament

0:38:430:38:45

that was held between himself and King Francis I of France in 1520.

0:38:450:38:50

It became the byword for luxury and extravagance.

0:38:500:38:55

He is almost invincible. He was Henry VIII, he was invincible.

0:38:550:38:58

And I'm thinking, how can I prod him? Where can I take a hit?

0:38:580:39:02

You're never going to get into this armour, I can tell you.

0:39:020:39:05

Every single plate locks into every other.

0:39:050:39:08

It does however weight 94 lbs, so it's very heavy.

0:39:080:39:12

I've got to be Christina's knight in shining armour,

0:39:120:39:16

and seeing Henry VIII, King Henry from 1520, what are your tips for me?

0:39:160:39:22

I think you've got everything it needs,

0:39:220:39:24

because I can see you've got a chivalrous nature.

0:39:240:39:27

I think Karen's got a bit of a soft spot for our Charles!

0:39:270:39:30

Later they're making for the auction in Penrith,

0:39:350:39:38

but our next stop is Skipton.

0:39:380:39:40

This historic market town is famous for its castle and mills,

0:39:440:39:48

although it's a lesser-known fact

0:39:480:39:50

that Skipton was also the site of prisoner of war camps

0:39:500:39:53

during both World Wars.

0:39:530:39:55

Nowadays, one of those is a caravan park.

0:39:550:39:58

Wash House Antiques. It's tiny!

0:39:580:40:01

-It looks packed to the rafters.

-They say small is beautiful, don't they?

0:40:010:40:05

Exactly.

0:40:050:40:06

-So what we can do is we can go with a hop...

-A skip...ton!

0:40:060:40:09

..a skip and a jump! See you later.

0:40:090:40:12

Now, Charles, Skipton has little to do with skipping.

0:40:120:40:16

-Good morning.

-Good morning, Charles.

-How are you?

-Fine, thank you.

0:40:160:40:19

-What a wonderful shop you have.

-Thank you.

0:40:190:40:21

I'm Charles and you're the lady in tweed.

0:40:210:40:22

-Samantha.

-Hi, Samantha. Good to see you.

-Hello.

0:40:220:40:24

I think the tweed has definitely put him in the mood,

0:40:240:40:27

plus of course the contents of Samantha's fine little shop.

0:40:270:40:31

-That's a nice gavel, isn't it?

-Yes.

0:40:310:40:34

As an auctioneer,

0:40:340:40:35

you always want to sell objects with a gavel that's tactile,

0:40:350:40:40

and this is light, has a lovely feel,

0:40:400:40:43

and it's probably what, 1920s?

0:40:430:40:45

-I'll have to think about that.

-That would do the job.

0:40:450:40:47

-It could be going, going, gone if the price is right.

-All right.

0:40:470:40:51

That's a nice box as well, isn't it?

0:40:510:40:53

I think that's a really beautiful box.

0:40:530:40:55

It has got a little issue

0:40:550:40:57

-in that it's missing a little bit of the foot there.

-Yeah.

0:40:570:41:01

I love this box because the detail is so good,

0:41:010:41:04

and furthermore it has a lovely feel, has a nice mellow colour,

0:41:040:41:08

and it's just a pretty box.

0:41:080:41:10

Circa 1880. How much is that?

0:41:100:41:12

-It could be very reasonable.

-Yeah.

0:41:120:41:14

-If I were to say £15...

-£15. Food for thought.

0:41:140:41:19

He's giving the shop a thorough examination!

0:41:190:41:22

In the corner over there is a really nice oil lamp, the one with the...

0:41:220:41:27

is it a ram's horn?

0:41:270:41:28

-Right. It's actually a Victorian put-together.

-A made-up.

0:41:280:41:32

-And it's actually an electric lamp now.

-Oh, is it?

0:41:320:41:36

Obviously for the purpose of auction we would have to have it PAT tested.

0:41:360:41:40

-Yes.

-Check the leccy.

0:41:400:41:43

It's a bit of a drama queen by appearance.

0:41:430:41:45

What would it cost me to buy?

0:41:450:41:47

If I were to say 35...

0:41:470:41:51

What I might do is come back to you

0:41:510:41:54

-with an offer for maybe two, three or even four items.

-Right.

0:41:540:41:58

Come on, Charles, let's see the colour of your cash!

0:41:580:42:02

Now, what about your travelling companion?

0:42:020:42:05

My name's Christina.

0:42:050:42:07

-I'm June.

-June. Nice to meet you, June.

0:42:070:42:09

-Hi. And you are...

-Melanie.

0:42:090:42:11

-Melanie. And you're my ladies for today.

-We are.

0:42:110:42:14

Lots of choice, but with very few dealers around,

0:42:140:42:17

she'll need all the advice that Melanie and June can supply.

0:42:170:42:21

I have dealings with this dealer.

0:42:210:42:23

-I know exactly what she'll do in the end.

-OK, brilliant.

0:42:230:42:26

OK, that's great.

0:42:260:42:28

Ah, now, that could be handy.

0:42:280:42:30

Well, I think we might go for a bit of a group lot.

0:42:300:42:33

Nice picture frame.

0:42:330:42:35

-That's quite nice, isn't it?

-Yeah, yeah.

-That's London 1984.

0:42:350:42:39

£55 on that.

0:42:390:42:41

Well, that's quite nice, isn't it?

0:42:410:42:44

That's nice with the patterned glass.

0:42:440:42:46

We've got D&F which is Deakin and Francis, and then Birmingham

0:42:460:42:51

-and...1919.

-Yes.

0:42:510:42:55

The toilet jar is £50.

0:42:550:42:57

-What about the scent bottle?

-That's rather nice.

0:42:570:43:00

This is fast work!

0:43:000:43:02

That's got a nice star-cut base

0:43:020:43:05

which you would expect of a slightly better quality piece.

0:43:050:43:08

-But it stands nicely, doesn't it?

-Yeah, it does.

0:43:080:43:10

The scent bottle is £35.

0:43:100:43:13

If we were to hypothetically say this group,

0:43:130:43:16

what do you think on that?

0:43:160:43:18

We'll say £90.

0:43:190:43:20

I'm thinking more probably along the region of maybe £70 for the group.

0:43:200:43:26

Well, go to 80. 80's my best offer.

0:43:260:43:29

-80?

-Yeah.

-I will go for that 80, because I think that's very fair.

0:43:290:43:33

It's very fair of you. Thank you very much. Grand. Thank you.

0:43:330:43:36

Speedy!

0:43:360:43:37

Now, the last time we saw Charles he had quite a heap of stuff too.

0:43:370:43:41

Any news?

0:43:410:43:42

The last item I'm going to sort of remark upon are the two birds.

0:43:420:43:46

Tell me about them.

0:43:460:43:47

I've had these some time, but I seem to recollect when I bought it

0:43:470:43:50

that the lady said it was a Russian one...

0:43:500:43:52

Da!

0:43:520:43:53

-It's quite sweet, isn't it?

-Whether it is...

0:43:530:43:55

Now, this one, I'm sure, is a modern one.

0:43:550:43:58

-That one, I think has some age.

-Yeah, this is quite a quirky toy.

0:43:580:44:01

But who knows? He might just fly away at auction.

0:44:010:44:04

There doesn't seem to be a key for the clockwork.

0:44:040:44:07

Though, fortunately, Charles can supply all the energy required.

0:44:070:44:11

What am I worth? A fiver? A fiver?

0:44:110:44:14

Silly boy! Now, any danger of a deal?

0:44:140:44:17

If I bought our four items, could you work a price out for me?

0:44:170:44:21

-Looking at the individual prices, it would be totting up to £90.

-Right.

0:44:210:44:26

I could trim it down to 50.

0:44:260:44:29

I would love to really buy the group for about £40.

0:44:290:44:32

The big oil lamp would be £20, the gavel and the box, 15,

0:44:320:44:38

and then the two birds would be £5.

0:44:380:44:41

I think we can end it at that, then.

0:44:410:44:43

-Are you sure?

-Yes.

-Can I raise my gavel?

-Yes.

0:44:430:44:46

-Going, going...

-Gone.

0:44:460:44:48

Sold! £40.

0:44:480:44:51

Thank you very much.

0:44:510:44:52

Just as I go and say au revoir...

0:44:520:44:55

Aye-aye?

0:44:550:44:56

That bookcase over there, Globe-Wernicke, early 20th century...

0:44:560:45:01

and it appears to be in good condition...

0:45:010:45:03

-It is, it is in good condition.

-Could it be a goer?

0:45:030:45:06

Hang on! This is turning into quite an outing!

0:45:060:45:08

I think it's a real popular item.

0:45:080:45:10

I think it's one of those pieces of furniture

0:45:100:45:12

that's really in at the moment.

0:45:120:45:14

Globe-Wernicke, founded in the USA during the late 19th century,

0:45:140:45:18

patented the expanding bookcase,

0:45:180:45:21

whereby units of different depth and height could be fitted together.

0:45:210:45:25

They're now highly collectable.

0:45:250:45:27

What's your rock-bottom price?

0:45:270:45:28

-I think for that I would have to stick with £100.

-£100?

0:45:280:45:33

The very, very best I could do would be 95.

0:45:330:45:37

I definitely couldn't move below that.

0:45:370:45:39

I think at £95 I shall say...

0:45:390:45:42

I'll take it. Thank you very much.

0:45:440:45:46

I'm over the moon.

0:45:460:45:47

That is impressive, Charles!

0:45:470:45:49

So after yesterday's drought, now the flood.

0:45:490:45:52

Back at the Antique Centre,

0:45:520:45:54

Christina's finally got hold of a dealer.

0:45:540:45:56

What about some photographs from the Beeching era?

0:45:560:46:00

-Are they railway photographs?

-Yeah.

0:46:000:46:01

They came out of a clearance I did from an ex-train driver

0:46:010:46:05

just after Beeching,

0:46:050:46:07

which was the time a lot of the railway stations disappeared.

0:46:070:46:10

So there's a good little bit of history from the mid-'60s.

0:46:100:46:13

-All the lovely old signal boxes...

-All abandoned.

0:46:130:46:15

..and things like that. And quite a few stations.

0:46:150:46:17

-Gosh! It is a very specialist market, though, isn't it?

-It is.

0:46:170:46:21

-If you found that right market...

-Yeah.

0:46:210:46:23

-What have you got on these, then?

-Asking sort of 38 for the whole lot.

0:46:230:46:27

I'm just concerned that they could be the kind of thing

0:46:270:46:30

that makes a couple of quid at auction

0:46:300:46:33

-or they could make quite a lot of money.

-Yeah.

0:46:330:46:36

I would be happy to get these in the sort of £15-20 region.

0:46:360:46:41

I think they're fascinating, but I don't know how many other people

0:46:410:46:44

will think they're fascinating.

0:46:440:46:46

Yeah. There's lots of chaps love this sort of stuff.

0:46:460:46:49

You'll be fine, honestly!

0:46:490:46:50

Seb's got a point, Christina.

0:46:500:46:52

Give me £26 and we have a deal.

0:46:520:46:55

-Shall we go 25?

-Yeah, let's go 25, then.

-Yeah?

-OK?

0:46:550:46:58

-OK, 25.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:46:580:46:59

-I think those are quite interesting.

-Yeah, they're good fun.

0:46:590:47:02

Completely not what I would usually buy,

0:47:020:47:04

-but maybe that's where I've been going wrong!

-Yes.

0:47:040:47:06

These do seem to be a bit of a bargain.

0:47:070:47:09

Remember, she's still got about £100 left.

0:47:090:47:12

Now, anything else?

0:47:120:47:14

What are those prints over there?

0:47:140:47:15

-Those look very Art Deco.

-Fashion prints, yeah.

-1940s.

0:47:150:47:18

-They're rather lovely, aren't they?

-Yeah, original frames as well.

0:47:180:47:22

I think they've got a lot of style

0:47:220:47:23

with these sort of slightly demure colours,

0:47:230:47:25

but that's what ladies were going for, slightly higher hemlines.

0:47:250:47:28

I mean, this Art Deco look is very trendy at the moment.

0:47:280:47:31

But this price... Is that £18 for the two or each?

0:47:310:47:35

Each at the moment.

0:47:350:47:38

What about...? You're going to hate me.

0:47:380:47:41

What about £15 the pair?

0:47:410:47:44

-The pair?

-Yes.

0:47:440:47:46

-15's too low.

-OK. What's your absolute, absolute minimum?

0:47:460:47:50

I'm thinking sort of 24.

0:47:500:47:51

-24 for the pair?

-For the pair - that's the pair.

0:47:510:47:54

And the frames, of course, as well as the prints.

0:47:540:47:56

-Well, I would hope that you'd throw the frames in!

-You know!

0:47:560:47:59

What about £20 for the pair?

0:47:590:48:01

I'm going to let you have them for 20, OK?

0:48:010:48:04

-OK, you've got a deal, Seb.

-OK. All done.

0:48:040:48:06

-You're a star. Thank you.

-Thank you. £20. Lovely.

0:48:060:48:08

Well done, Skipton. Quite a haul for them both,

0:48:080:48:11

that explains the very good mood in the Morris, I presume.

0:48:110:48:15

Whee!

0:48:150:48:16

They're now motoring south and west across the Lancashire border

0:48:190:48:22

from Skipton to Burnley.

0:48:220:48:24

The market town of Burnley

0:48:240:48:25

became one of Lancashire's most prominent mill towns

0:48:250:48:27

during the industrial age of the 18th and 19th centuries,

0:48:270:48:31

growing into a major centre for engineering

0:48:310:48:34

and one of the world's largest manufacturers of cotton cloth.

0:48:340:48:38

Looks like this establishment works on a fairly industrial scale too.

0:48:410:48:45

Off you go, then, Charles. Good luck.

0:48:450:48:47

He's still got an awful lot of cash to spend at Karlen Antiques.

0:48:490:48:54

So what will take his fancy, eh?

0:48:540:48:56

Retro pottery?

0:48:560:48:58

Come over here, Sharon.

0:48:580:49:00

-This is quite nice.

-Yeah.

0:49:000:49:02

Look at that for a design.

0:49:020:49:04

-That to me...is it Midwinter?

-It is.

-It is Midwinter...

-And it's cheap.

0:49:040:49:08

Is it cheap? Oh, Sharon - you're talking my language, Sharon.

0:49:080:49:12

-Are these little soup bowls or...?

-They're soup bowls, I would say.

0:49:120:49:15

-We'll put those up there.

-They look quite sweet.

0:49:150:49:18

Yeah, they do look sweet. Is it the '50s or '60s?

0:49:180:49:21

I think probably more like '60s. But it doesn't matter?

0:49:210:49:23

You know, if you're a swinger and you like the '60s, that's fine, isn't it?

0:49:230:49:27

-Yeah.

-If I said to you, what's the very best on that little ensemble,

0:49:270:49:30

-what would you tell me?

-Only because it's you

0:49:300:49:32

-and I know you need to make money...

-Sharon! I'm in need.

0:49:320:49:35

-We're talking £10.

-Oh, my God, Sharon! Don't do that to me, Sharon!

0:49:350:49:39

I like your little doll here. That's quite nice.

0:49:390:49:41

-Dream baby, that one is.

-Yeah.

0:49:410:49:42

-I used to make those...

-How much could she be?

0:49:420:49:46

What is she on for? 22.

0:49:460:49:48

£12.

0:49:480:49:51

She can't help herself.

0:49:510:49:52

He'll find it difficult to spend much here.

0:49:520:49:55

What about this hat, sweetheart?

0:49:550:49:57

This is very '60s.

0:49:570:49:58

-It is, isn't it?

-It is, isn't it?

0:49:580:50:01

The right lady...it's very Audrey Hepburn, do you not think?

0:50:010:50:04

Can you put it on for me? I can't model it.

0:50:040:50:07

I just don't think I'll do it justice!

0:50:070:50:09

Oh, I say! No, you do.

0:50:090:50:11

-That pretty young lady!

-It's got to go. How much is it?

0:50:110:50:14

-£5.

-£5.

0:50:140:50:16

Is he buying ALL of it?

0:50:160:50:18

What's the best price on the whole lot?

0:50:180:50:22

20 for all the lot there. I think that's a real bargain.

0:50:220:50:25

Can you see the little glass dish there with the bull's-eye?

0:50:250:50:28

-Oh, yes, that one there.

-You can throw that in.

0:50:280:50:30

I just can't say no to you!

0:50:300:50:32

I just can't say no!

0:50:320:50:33

You know, if that's OK with you, I'm going to say yes.

0:50:330:50:36

-Yes, well, I'm really happy! Let's shake on it quickly!

-Are you sure?

0:50:360:50:39

That's done. Thank you very much. Give us a kiss. Thank you.

0:50:390:50:42

So Charles is now done shopping with almost £400 still in his pocket.

0:50:420:50:49

Christina began with £271.94p,

0:50:490:50:52

and she spent £195 on five auction lots -

0:50:520:50:56

an Art Deco cruet set in the form of a plane,

0:50:560:50:59

a pair of Art Deco stylish fashion plates,

0:50:590:51:02

a collection of railway-related photographs,

0:51:020:51:05

a selection of silverwares

0:51:050:51:07

and a retro dressing table.

0:51:070:51:09

Whilst Charles started out £543.80p,

0:51:090:51:13

he has spent just £158 on five lots -

0:51:130:51:17

a 19th-century oil lamp,

0:51:170:51:19

a mahogany jewellery box paired with an Edwardian gavel,

0:51:190:51:23

an oak bookcase cabinet,

0:51:230:51:24

clockwork birds

0:51:240:51:26

and an interesting lot of retro pottery, a doll

0:51:260:51:29

and a pink ladies' hat.

0:51:290:51:31

But what do they really think of each other's items?

0:51:310:51:33

Mine were quite cheap.

0:51:330:51:35

Christina's bought quality, but they've come at expense.

0:51:350:51:38

I love the bookcase.

0:51:380:51:39

I love the lamp. I think those are really quirky.

0:51:390:51:42

Look at the ducks!

0:51:420:51:43

I have a feeling I'm going to be out for a duck. Again!

0:51:430:51:47

After starting out in Yorkshire, at Leeds,

0:51:470:51:50

before heading over to Lancashire,

0:51:500:51:52

this leg of our trip concludes

0:51:520:51:53

at an auction in the Cumbrian town of Penrith.

0:51:530:51:57

Penrith is blessed with a large number of wells

0:51:570:51:59

and the town's good fortune

0:51:590:52:01

was once marked by pagan-inspired well-dressing ceremonies during May.

0:52:010:52:07

-That looks perfect.

-There we are.

0:52:070:52:09

They're at Penrith Farmers' & Kidds',

0:52:090:52:12

where at least ten delightful lots are just waiting to be snapped up

0:52:120:52:15

under the stewardship of auctioneer Tom Sargent.

0:52:150:52:18

It's Christina's birthday as well,

0:52:180:52:20

so let's hope that that is a good omen.

0:52:200:52:23

0:52:480:52:51

Well, those certainly grabbed the worm!

0:52:510:52:54

What will Penrith make of his next very mixed lot, though?

0:52:550:52:59

Absolutely a perfect lot for this market, isn't it?

0:52:590:53:02

It's a general sale. You want general items.

0:53:020:53:05

-You'll do really well on this.

No, you will.

0:53:260:53:27

Oh, a tiny loss after commission.

0:53:270:53:30

You've got to ride it.

0:53:300:53:32

I'm disappointed. I've fallen off.

0:53:340:53:35

Now for his box and gavel.

0:53:350:53:38

The auctioneer's been casting admiring glances at that one!

0:53:380:53:41

0:53:550:53:58

25 and the lady's got it at 25.

0:53:580:54:01

That late spurt has got him a profit.

0:54:030:54:06

-That's a £10 profit.

-Exactly.

-I can't grumble.

0:54:060:54:09

That is properly in the money, isn't it?

0:54:090:54:11

Now for Charles' curious lamp,

0:54:340:54:35

-That's OK. I'm over the moon.

-Well done.

0:54:350:54:37

And so you should be - that lit up the room, didn't it?

0:54:370:54:40

Christina's turn now.

0:54:400:54:43

You just need one item to take off, to ignite, to inspire...

0:54:430:54:47

So will her little silver collection be that very lot?

0:54:480:54:52

Various bids. I've £40 bid.

0:55:080:55:12

0:55:120:55:14

It's my birthday!

0:55:140:55:16

0:55:590:56:00

She'll never catch him up at this rate!

0:56:000:56:03

-It's a mixed day, isn't it?

-A mixed day.

0:56:030:56:05

-Do you know, I would...?

-It really is a mixed day.

0:56:050:56:07

Let's just hope all those railway buffs the dealer talked about

0:56:070:56:11

have been poring over these.

0:56:110:56:12

I have 55 bid.

0:56:340:56:36

0:56:360:56:38

Great stuff, Christina!

0:56:400:56:42

The comeback starts here!

Give us a hug, give us a hug!

0:56:460:56:47

0:56:470:56:50

This was the not-so-big-spending Charles' greatest investment.

0:56:500:56:54

I've 50 bid.

0:56:540:56:55

-Keep going.

0:57:000:57:03

-£90 the bid.

-Cheap. One more.

-Come on, come on, come on.

0:57:030:57:06

At £90...

0:57:060:57:09

Lost a fiver.

0:57:090:57:10

Yeah, and even more after commission.

0:57:100:57:13

That's life!

0:57:130:57:14

You win some, you lose some.

0:57:140:57:16

Despite the cheap price, Christina's dressing table

0:57:160:57:19

looks a lot riskier.

0:57:190:57:20

-What's it going to make, really?

-A fiver.

-Oh, come on!

-A fiver.

0:57:200:57:24

Why'd you buy it, then? Why'd you buy it?

0:57:240:57:26

-Cos it was a punt.

-I've £10 bid.

0:57:260:57:30

-10 for the dressing table. At 10.

-That's it!

0:57:300:57:33

10 for dressing table, then. 10 bid.

0:57:330:57:36

-10 for the dressing table.

-The mirror's worth that!

0:57:360:57:39

At £10.

0:57:390:57:41

It doubled our expectations!

0:57:410:57:43

-Yeah.

-It doubled up!

0:57:430:57:46

Someone's got quite a bargain there!

0:57:460:57:48

But thanks to her photographs, Christina is the victor today.

0:57:480:57:51

It's your day, birthday girl. I commend you. Well done.

0:57:510:57:54

-Thank you very much.

-Cup of tea?

-Yes, cup of tea!

0:57:540:57:56

Christina began with...

0:57:560:57:58

And after paying auction costs, she's made a profit of £63.30p,

0:58:000:58:05

leaving her with...

0:58:050:58:07

..to spend next time.

0:58:080:58:10

Charles started out with...

0:58:110:58:13

And after paying auction costs, he's made a profit of £24.04p,

0:58:160:58:20

leaving him with...

0:58:200:58:22

..and a lead of almost £250.

0:58:240:58:27

I think...it's a victory drive for me today.

0:58:270:58:30

Go on, get in the passenger seat. Where you belong!
