0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each,
0:00:05 > 0:00:09a classic car and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Going, going, gone!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Yes!
0:00:13 > 0:00:14How do I look?
0:00:14 > 0:00:18The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat!
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Yes!
0:00:19 > 0:00:22There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23I'm going to become a bin man!
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29I like it when you're chasing me!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41It's all to play for on this fifth and final leg of the Road Trip
0:00:41 > 0:00:45between our hardy antiques experts, Mark Stacey and Will Axon.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- Let's go for broke!- Shall we? - We've got no option, really.
0:00:49 > 0:00:55Our intrepid duo have made a pact to spend every penny they have
0:00:55 > 0:00:59in the aim of being crowned this week's winner. Brave boys!
0:00:59 > 0:01:05Mark's a seasoned barterer and has used all his experience to get that cheeky smile back on his face.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12While Will's cabinet fever has taken a turn for the worse.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14The walls seem to be closing in on me.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20Having started the week on £200, Mark and Will will finally both begin a leg
0:01:20 > 0:01:22with more money than they started with.
0:01:22 > 0:01:28Mark is in a rich vein of form with stonking great wins in the last two auctions.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31He has £296 to start this final leg.
0:01:32 > 0:01:38While Will's snapping at his heels with £251.86 to spend.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41So, as they prepare to risk everything for victory,
0:01:41 > 0:01:46our antique experts ride into battle in their noble white steed,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49a classic 1963 Triumph TR4.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53This week's Road Trip is whisking us through no less than five counties.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57The boys started the week in Hastings, East Sussex,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01visiting Kent, Essex, Suffolk and Hertfordshire
0:02:01 > 0:02:04before their final auction in the London suburb of Ruislip.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Today, we're kicking off in Gosfield in Essex
0:02:07 > 0:02:10before finishing at an auction showdown in Ruislip.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Oh!- This looks like it, Mark. - This is it.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Hoping the rain doesn't put a dampener on things,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22the boys' first stop is at Gosfield Shopping Village.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Cabinet Room, that sounds like us. - Or the war room!
0:02:26 > 0:02:31This huge shop is the perfect place for the boys to start their battle to blow their budget.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44I like this. This is a really nice ink standish or a desk stand, really.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49And they've got down here, "A rare Regency desk tray. 1810".
0:02:49 > 0:02:52And it says here enamelled and gilded,
0:02:52 > 0:02:57but, actually, it's meant to be Boulework.
0:02:57 > 0:03:05Boulework was named in honour of the pre-eminent artist in the field of marquetry, Andre Charles Boule.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11He perfected the fashion of inlaying brass and tortoiseshell in the 17th and 18th centuries.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15In order to trade tortoiseshell and ivory, it must predate 1947,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18although it's still not to everyone's taste.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20It is in a terrible condition.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I mean, it's got a lot of the brasswork missing,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26and some of the silverwork on it, I think is actually later.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32With a starting price of £135, dealer Glenn is on hand to make Mark a very good offer.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35We could go to 50, I think, for that one.
0:03:35 > 0:03:3750? Oh, gosh! That's really a shock to me.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Because that's the sort of figure I was hoping to get it for.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Will you put a reserved on that for me?- Certainly.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47A whopping £85 off the asking price, eh? Great start, Mark!
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Now, what's Will up to?
0:03:50 > 0:03:55Now, I know Staffordshire's not hugely fashionable at the moment, but they're a good subject.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Two huntsmen...
0:03:57 > 0:04:00..one with his crossbow and his spaniel,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03and the other one holding up a deer.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06You're right! They're not in vogue these days,
0:04:06 > 0:04:11and at £75 you'd better ask Beta if she's amenable to a deal.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13ALARM SOUNDS
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Oh, crumbs!
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Wasn't me!
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- There's a lot of silver. - A lot of silver!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Well, now you know you can't get them for a steal, Will!
0:04:24 > 0:04:29I mean, my budget sort of leaves me at sort of £50, really, for the pair.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- I was thinking about that price. - Were you?- Yeah.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Oh, dear!- So, are we agreed?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Ooh!
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Strike while the iron's hot, why not?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42But Will's playing it cool
0:04:42 > 0:04:45and has also put his item on reserve.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47It looks like the long game for these two boys.
0:04:56 > 0:05:02It's a little piece, a gentleman would have it on his desk or in his library for keeping matches
0:05:02 > 0:05:04or vestas.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05You keep them in here.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10But it's just a sweet little thing, because you've got a sort of Alpine walker here
0:05:10 > 0:05:13with his backpack there...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15and his walking cane.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17And this is like a barrel here.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21This item's also marked at £135.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Are you going to aim low again, Mark?
0:05:25 > 0:05:31Do you think if I bought the two items that I could get that for £70?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- 70, plus the 50 for the...?- Yes.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36120 in total.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- I think we could do that. - Can we do that?- I think we can.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Well, let's shake hands on that, shall we?- Thanks very much.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Cor! You're on fire, Mark!
0:05:44 > 0:05:48But Will seems to have fallen into that old theme trap again.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I might have fallen into a stag and deer theme,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57because, look, there's quite a stylish bronze stag at the back there.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I mean, it's very much in that sort of Art Deco style.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04And having been reduced in price several times,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07it now has a ticket price of just £80.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12If I was going to be interested in it, it would have to be a sort of similar...similar figure
0:06:12 > 0:06:14to my last lot, sort of £50.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Mmm...so £50 off?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Bearing in mind... - It's already...you see?
0:06:19 > 0:06:24Well, that's because no-one else has bought it, so I'm doing him a favour.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27No alarm bells ringing for you, then, Will!
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- I think we can...- Do you think we could do that?- Yeah, yeah.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Do a favour.- You see, this is very difficult for me,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38because as soon as you say, "Yes", I feel like I ought to say, "Deal!"
0:06:38 > 0:06:43But our cunning expert is looking to add one more item to his bundle,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45hoping he can knock more money off when it's time to pay.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47This caught my eye.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54They've got it down as a French ebony and ivory inlaid watch box,
0:06:54 > 0:06:59circa 1840, so we don't have to worry about the fact that it's got ivory in it.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Mmm...pre-1947 ivory's not everyone's cup of tea,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07but, at £75, Beta is back again to talk shop.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I know your price already!
0:07:09 > 0:07:11You do, don't you?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Hey! I think we all do, Will! £50?
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- I might throw a cat among the pigeons and say 40 this time instead of 50!- Oh!
0:07:20 > 0:07:22You will disappoint me!
0:07:22 > 0:07:2445.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Oh, go on, then! Well, I'll tell you what, put it with the other bits... - Uh-huh.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- ..and I'll come up in a minute and we'll tot it all up and see where we're at.- OK.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37That's £145 for the three items, Will,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39over half of your remaining budget.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Now to negotiate a deal on the bundle.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43130?
0:07:44 > 0:07:4540?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I'm going to be really mean and say 135.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- 135.- It's a deal! Good!- Deal.- Lovely. Oh, lovely, lovely.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Lovely jubbly! So, that works out at £45 for each. Well done, Will.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01But methinks your nemesis will be happier after that shop.
0:08:04 > 0:08:10Mark's taking control of the wheels after that shopping extravaganza and is heading to Suffolk,
0:08:10 > 0:08:15to the rather impressive surroundings of Kentwell Hall in Sudbury.
0:08:15 > 0:08:21But we're not here to admire this beautiful home, rather to hear of its salacious past,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24where infidelity began one man's road to ruin.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29And, you know, our Mark loves nothing more than a bit of scandal.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34Waiting to meet him is the Hall's present owner, the larger-than-life Patrick Phillips.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Strange things have happened... - Really?- ..in this house over the centuries,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- and it's one of the intriguing parts of living in a house like this... - I bet!
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- ..is picking up all these bits. - It is!- And the more scandalous they are, the more I like it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I love scandal. Shall we start?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49LAUGHTER Why not?
0:08:49 > 0:08:55Richard Moore's father originally inherited the house from his uncle, the Lord Mayor of London,
0:08:55 > 0:09:01Sir John Moore. When Richard wed Sydney Arabella Cotton in 1796,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04they made Kentwell their marital home.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06But it was a marriage not without its troubles,
0:09:06 > 0:09:10for within these walls lies a story of passion and intrigue.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14But why would we start the scandalous tour in the kitchen?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Ah! Well, this is, of course, one of the places where the staff congregate,
0:09:18 > 0:09:23and they were peeking through this door, so we hear, or read,
0:09:23 > 0:09:28- and they could see the stairs at the end of the corridor. - Oh, yes, of course!
0:09:28 > 0:09:32And the wife of the owner of the house, Mrs Moore,
0:09:32 > 0:09:37was seen ascending those stairs with the new young steward
0:09:37 > 0:09:43- with whom she'd spent many an evening going over the house accounts. - Well, of course!
0:09:43 > 0:09:45He was checking the figures.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Shall we move on?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Patrick's bringing Mark into the library to tell us more.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- We're getting into the thick of the tale.- Are we?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Now, tell me, tell me more, Patrick.
0:09:57 > 0:10:04When the staff saw Mrs Moore and the steward ascend by the backstairs together,
0:10:04 > 0:10:10- they knew something was afoot, because she would be expected to ascend by the main stairs.- Yes.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14And so they all beetled across into here...
0:10:14 > 0:10:19and were listening for sounds above.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24And they report that they heard two lots of footsteps upstairs,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27and they heard the creaking of the bed...
0:10:30 > 0:10:35The next day, when the staff go up to the bedroom,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38they make close inspection of the bedding,
0:10:38 > 0:10:42the condition of which they report to their Lordships.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47I would love to be one the Lordships, wouldn't you?
0:10:47 > 0:10:53And it was in this great dining room that Sydney Arabella's scandalous shenanigans were finally exposed.
0:10:53 > 0:10:59Mr Moore and Mrs Moore were dining a deux in here.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02A butler was standing wherever butlers stand,
0:11:02 > 0:11:06and an altercation arose between Mr Moore and Mrs Moore,
0:11:06 > 0:11:11and Mrs Moore took the water carafe and poured it all over the head of Mr Moore.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- In front of the butler? - In front of the butler...
0:11:13 > 0:11:15and stormed out of the room.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19So, the butler used this incident to explain to Mr Moore
0:11:19 > 0:11:26that did he know that his wife had been doing more than the accounting with the steward?
0:11:26 > 0:11:32Anyway, Mrs Moore was immediately banished from the house by Mr Moore...
0:11:32 > 0:11:36"Get out of here, you..." whatever it was they said in those days.
0:11:36 > 0:11:42- So, there was no question? He took the word of the butler and out she went.- And out she went.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Well, we must assume she and her lover lived happily ever after.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Ironically, it was the aggrieved Mr Moore's life which took a sorry turn.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Through gambling debts, the money he had spent on the house and the divorce,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57his finances spiralled out of control.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02The house was sold, but, sadly, his debts were insurmountable and he was committed to a debtors' prison,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04where he died soon afterwards.
0:12:05 > 0:12:11- Well, that was a juicy little tale from the early 19th century. - I hope it didn't shock you!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I need to go and lie down and get over it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15A juicy tale, indeed.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20So, while Mark's mopping his brow,
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Will's travelled west to Finchingfield in Essex,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27hoping he can add to his auction arsenal.
0:12:28 > 0:12:34Finchingfield, a picture-postcard village with its duck pond, village green and medieval cottages,
0:12:34 > 0:12:38was once home to the author of The Hundred And One Dalmatians, Dodie Smith.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43Will's arrived at Finchingfield Antiques and he's not wasting any time.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48With just over £100 left, you'll need to pick wisely.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51An 18th-century hand-blown bottle.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57With a good deep base.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Now, this I like, this little...
0:13:02 > 0:13:04..glass rummer...
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I mean, from the shape, it's going to be circa 1800, 1810.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11It's only £40, which seems reasonable.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Time to get owner Peter involved.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17I just wanted to check the... check the condition.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Right, it's just got a little nibble here and there, but...
0:13:20 > 0:13:22PING!
0:13:22 > 0:13:23- Nice ring.- Perfect.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Perfect!
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Star-cut base, square foot...
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- Can you move a little on the price for me?- What would you like me to move to?
0:13:34 > 0:13:35- 20.- 20?
0:13:35 > 0:13:40I'll do you an absurdly ridiculous price...
0:13:40 > 0:13:42of 25.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- 25?- Mmm.- It's worth taking a punt at that, isn't it?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- I think so.- £25.- Mmm.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Will just can't help himself.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55He's going back to the wine bottle to try and match them up,
0:13:55 > 0:13:59but with no price on it, Peter's making a call to the dealer with an offer of a tenner.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01And it's good news!
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- Done.- Nice one.- It's all yours. - That's all right, isn't it, for a tenner?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- I think it's a nice thing. - Yeah, it is, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11There's quite a nice cordial glass here, as well,
0:14:11 > 0:14:16which would sit quite nicely with my two lots so far.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Trouble is it's had a repair and it's just got some nibbles on the base as well.
0:14:21 > 0:14:27With £39 on the ticket, Will has offered £25 for the glass and Peter's worked his magic again!
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Is that a deal?- It's a deal. - Good work.- You've done it.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Well done.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Nice going, Will. That's £60 for the group.
0:14:37 > 0:14:43Back together, the boys are heading 50 miles south-west to St Albans.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47And quick as you like, they've found Fleetville Vintage Emporium.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Hello.- Hello.- I'm Mark.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Georgina is the lady to help you around this indoor flea market.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54- Nice to meet you.- Hi, Will.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13These are what you call a gu vase because of the shape.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16You've got this slender body and then this central knop.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20But at £120 it's a bit out of your league, Will.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Well, I suppose it might be worth a chance.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Unfortunately, the owner isn't in the shop at the moment.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31However, Mark has found something to gee him up.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Now, this is quite interesting.
0:15:33 > 0:15:40This, I think, is from a horse on the Manchester Ships Canal, if you see the MSC.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I'm almost sure they would have belonged to a horse
0:15:43 > 0:15:47that was pulling maybe the barges or the canal boats.
0:15:47 > 0:15:53The blinkers would have been used to prevent the horse from being distracted on the towpath.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57They're late-Victorian and are priced up at £35.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Do you want to do the deal at 20?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- I'd rather do it at 15.- Oh, Mark!
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Because then it gives me a bite.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Well...- And I haven't finished shopping yet. - No, I do appreciate that.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10You know, I might find another thing.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11- OK.- I might not, mind you!
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- OK, seeing as I got a kiss and a hug...- Oh, my gosh!
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- It's 10, then?- No, it was...
0:16:22 > 0:16:2315 it is!
0:16:23 > 0:16:2510! Come on, kiss and a hug, go!
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Oh, you old smoothie! Our Georgie is a game girl, you know!
0:16:29 > 0:16:34Now, as luck would have it, Will has bumped into Riccardo, the owner of the gu vase he was interested in.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I've got £56.86 in my pocket.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- I want to give it a punt, see what happens.- Yeah, OK.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Oh, lovely work!- We can do that. - Shall we do it?- Yeah.- Good!
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Well, let's go and have a word with George. Did you see that? That was a stroke of luck!
0:16:52 > 0:16:59So, Will is all spent out, and, Mark focuses his attention on a large glass bowl.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It's got quite nice decoration going around it,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05a sort of diamond-y upper border.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I mean, it's really... it's a huge piece of glass.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14But with £161 left in your pocket and £50 on the ticket,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17what are you going to offer Georgina for it?
0:17:18 > 0:17:19£20?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Could you meet me at 25, Mark?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Yes, I could. Thank you, George.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26A big purchase, Mark, but for a small price.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33With money still to spend, Mark has made his way to Hertford,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36the county town of Hertfordshire,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40With time running out, he's heading straight t see Bonnie
0:17:40 > 0:17:43at the sweetly named Honey Lane Antiques.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Bonnie, that's amazing, isn't it? - It's beautiful.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- I tell you what, that would look stunning if you had a big mansion, wouldn't it?- Yeah.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Nice and big. - In your downstairs cloakroom!
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Cloakroom?
0:17:54 > 0:18:02Wherever it hangs, this late-19th century beaten-brass charger is priced at £150.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04We could do that for 130.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Can I put...can I reserve it? - You certainly can. - Can I put it down there?- Yes.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Looks like you're hooked, Mark!
0:18:12 > 0:18:17And Bonnie's not finished trying to get all of your remaining £136!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19What about if I threw a cannon in?
0:18:19 > 0:18:25- A cannon?- A nice cast-iron and brass cannon.- Oh, that's quite... - For £136 for the two.
0:18:25 > 0:18:31- I think it's great fun and it goes well with our sort of armorial theme.- Indeed.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Come on, Mark, the clock's ticking. It's time you made your mind up.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Life's a gamble, isn't it?- It is.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- The choice is yours.- I know.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- But I don't...I'm not good with choices.- You see...
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I can see Tim now going, "Oh, Mark's dithering again!"
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Oh, good grief! No wonder! Stop dithering, man!
0:18:52 > 0:18:57- This...oh!- Oh, careful, dear! - Some kind of a mythical sea horse with the...
0:18:57 > 0:19:00It's called a hippocanthus.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Ah, Bonnie's trying to see if another lump of metal will add weight to the deal.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07It's a decorative pierced brass dish, probably early-20th century.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- So the cannons, this...- That. - And the charger.- And the charger.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Well, they kind of fit, I suppose. - They do.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Because they'd make a nice interesting lot, wouldn't they?- Indeed.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17- Shall we do that?- Yes.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- I think you couldn't possibly go wrong. - Bonnie, come and give me a hug.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Because I think they'll... I don't care if they make any money.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25It was a pleasure meeting you.
0:19:27 > 0:19:33So, at the very last minute, Mark has managed to spend all his money,
0:19:33 > 0:19:37just like Will, who set out on this leg with a meagre £251.86
0:19:37 > 0:19:39but managed to bag five lots.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41The watch box.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43The glass collection.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44The bronze stag.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47The Staffordshire figures, and the gu vase.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Mark began this leg with £296,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55and also went for broke on his five lots.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56The holder.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58The glass bowl.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59The horse blinkers.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03The ink stand, and the bits of brass he's combined into one lot.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09So, with the storm clouds circling above, is this the sign of things to come
0:20:09 > 0:20:11as our boys head to today's auction?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13On the last leg of their Road Trip,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16our seasoned experts have zigzagged their way
0:20:16 > 0:20:19through Essex, Suffolk and Hertfordshire,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21starting out in Gosfield
0:20:21 > 0:20:23and ending up in Ruislip for the auction.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Well, Mark... - This is it.- This is it.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Our moment of judgment. - The battle lines are drawn.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Shall we go and find out? - After you, sir.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33The final battlefield is at Bainbridges,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36an auction house of 30 years standing.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41Presiding over our proceedings is auctioneer and owner Peter Bainbridge.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Now, brace yourselves. Peter is a good, old-fashioned auctioneer.
0:20:46 > 0:20:53First up is Will's 19th-century ebony and ivory French watch box.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Let's have a bid. Will it be... who's going to give me £20?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- 20 to go. 10 to go, then, please. Come on.- Oh, come on!
0:20:59 > 0:21:01For goodness' sake, it's unusual. Tenner bid. Thank you. 15 now.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I've got a bid at 10. 15. £20. £25? Thank you.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06£30. 35 now. 35. 40.
0:21:06 > 0:21:0940 I'm bid. Got a bid at 45 anywhere?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Got a bid at 40 at the back of the room. Any advance on £40?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- All done today at 40.- Puh-puh-puh!
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Selling at £40. Last time.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19It was very close, Will.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Close is not good enough, I'm afraid. That's a loss, Will.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Next in line is Mark's Continental silver spill holder.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I'm opening the bidding here at £80. Do I hear 90 anywhere?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I've got a bid at £80. 90? My bid is £80. Take 90 now.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Is it going to go up? - Come along, let's see another bid!
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Thank you. 90. 100 I'm bid. 110?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41I would. 110.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43120 now. £110. I've got a bid at 110.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45120, I've got a bid. 130 now?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47130 bid. Thank you. 140 anywhere?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49140. Thank you. 150 now.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Are you all done at 140?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Well done, Mark. You've doubled your money. Good work.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- I need it, Will.- OK...
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Oh, he's never happy, that boy!
0:22:02 > 0:22:06It's Will's glass rummer, cordial glass and wine bottle next.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Opening bid, what say now, £20?
0:22:08 > 0:22:1110 to go, then, please. Your starter for £10. 10 bid. 15 now.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13We've got a bid at 10. Do I hear 15? I've got a bid at £10. 15.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- 20 I'm bid. 25?- It's going on a bit.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18£30. 35 now. 40?
0:22:18 > 0:22:22At £35. 40 anywhere? Got a bid at 35. Another bid, sir, at the back? £40?
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- At £35. Any further bids? 40 I'm bid. - Just... Go on!
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Got a bid at 40 now. We're selling at £40 for the last time today.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31At 40. Any further bidding? We're selling at £40 for the last time.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34All done. 40.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35231. Sold.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39That look says it all. Another loss, Will.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Mark's rather large glass bowl is next.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Here it is. Have a look at the stage, then, please. Isn't that lovely?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49It's so big, isn't it?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51This comes probably from a wash set, ladies and gentlemen.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54And, er... or you could use it as a footbath.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57You could put fish in it, couldn't you? £20?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59£20 to go. £10 to go, then, please.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01At the back. 10 I'm bid. 15 now. 15 I'm bid. Thank you.
0:23:01 > 0:23:0320 now, please. 20 I'm bid. 25? 25 bid. 30?
0:23:03 > 0:23:0530 I'm bid. 35?
0:23:05 > 0:23:0635 bid. 40.
0:23:06 > 0:23:0840 I'm bid. 45?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I've got a bid at 40. Any further bids?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12We are selling today at £40 for the last time.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Are you all out at 40, then?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Oh!
0:23:16 > 0:23:20OK, big sighs, but that is another steady profit, Mark!
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Can Will's stag finally turn him a profit?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28£20 to go, then, please. Come on! Let's get a move on at £20.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Opening bid at £20, surely to goodness?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32What's going wrong? 20 I'm bid. 25 now? The bid is £20.
0:23:32 > 0:23:3625. Thank you. 30? 30 I'm bid. 35 now, please. 35. £40 now.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- I've got a bid at 35. 40 anywhere? 40, come on!- Surely!
0:23:39 > 0:23:42£35. Any further bids? I'm selling today at £35.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47Any further bids? For the last time today, then, at £35.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51So, another crushing loss for Will.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I guess the bidders found it a bit "deer"!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Ha-ha! Never mind!
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I think I'm going to have to write my letter of resignation!
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Well, if you need a seconder...! Er...
0:24:03 > 0:24:07A touching piece of moral support there, Mark!
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Perhaps you're blinkered by your own success!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Very collectable, £20?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Quite collectable, £10?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Thank you. 10 I'm bid. 15 I'm bid. 20 now, please.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19£20. 25. I've got a bid of £20 at the back of the room.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Come on! They shouldn't... - You're in profit.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Make it 25, will you? At £20. Come on, a bit of imagination!
0:24:25 > 0:24:2725, thank you. £30. 35.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29£40. 45?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Are you all done and finished at £40? Any further bids?
0:24:31 > 0:24:3440 and selling to number 93.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Thank you.- £40. - £40, that's all right.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39That is all right, Mark!
0:24:39 > 0:24:42There is no distraction for you in your pursuit of profit!
0:24:45 > 0:24:48It's your pair of Staffordshire huntsmen up next, Will.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I figure these should yield you a return.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55£20. £20, ladies and gentlemen, please, with a spaniel, remember.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58So, anybody interested in dogs. £20.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Ooh, 10 to go, then, please. Come on. Show me somewhere.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Tenner bid, thank you. 15 now? 15 I'm bid. 20 now. 20 I'm bid.
0:25:03 > 0:25:0625? I think you should.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07So does Will!
0:25:07 > 0:25:11They're lovely! At £20. 25. That's better. £30, sir?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Oh, madam, and you're a horsey person!
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Yeah, but it's a spaniel.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Oh, but look at that little goatee!
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- £25. £25.- That's enough. It's all right.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22£25. Are we going to 30? We are selling at 25.
0:25:22 > 0:25:2430. Thank you.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- 35?- Go on.- I've got a bid of 30 at the back of the room.- One more,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- to make me break even.- 30.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32No. At £30. Any further bids? Selling at 30, then.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Last time today at £30.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Sold for 30.- Gosh, Will.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Gosh, indeed! It's really not been your day today!
0:25:44 > 0:25:47But how will the bidders react to Mark's big blow-out?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50His large brass platter and brass accompaniments.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Oh, I can't bear this!- Here we go.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I think large is a bit of an understatement.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Look at the damn thing!
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- It's huge. - It is huge, isn't it?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01You could sublet it, madam!
0:26:01 > 0:26:03And you also get with it a pierced brass dish over there,
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- which is pretty dull...and a miniature cannon.- It's not dull!
0:26:07 > 0:26:08It is.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10OK, for the lot, what are you going to give me, £20?
0:26:10 > 0:26:1320 to go. Come on, it's been polished. You don't have to. £20.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Well, it's worth thinking about! 20 I'm bid. Do I hear 25 now?
0:26:17 > 0:26:1925 at the back. At £30? £30, thank you. 35?
0:26:19 > 0:26:2135, thank you. £40?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23At £35. Another fiver?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Go on!- She's shaking her head.
0:26:26 > 0:26:2835 at the back of the room. Any further bids on 35, then?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Selling at £35, all done.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Gosh!- 35, 74. Well done.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Ouch! I bet you're brassed off with that!
0:26:37 > 0:26:40That stonking great loss means Will could be back in with a chance,
0:26:40 > 0:26:44if only he could make a healthy profit on his last lot,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46his bargain buy, the gu vase.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Come on, somebody give me a £10 note. 10 I'm bid. 15. £20.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- It's going on, it's creeping up. - £20. 25.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54£30.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57£30 I'm bid. 35 anywhere? 30 I'm bid. 35?
0:26:57 > 0:27:0035. £40? 45.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01£50?
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Got a bid of 45. 50 anywhere? Got a bid of 45. Looking for 50 now.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06£50.
0:27:06 > 0:27:1055? Got a bid of 50. In the front row at £50. Be able to take 5 more.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13We're selling at 50. A gu vase at 50. Any further bids?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15All done. Gu and gone!
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- "Gu and gone!"- Gu and gone!
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Huh! Gu and gone with your chance of victory, Will!
0:27:22 > 0:27:24No beginner's luck here, then!
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It's Mark's last lot.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30The Boulework inkstand or pen stand.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Peter estimated £40-£60,
0:27:32 > 0:27:37but can our Stacey go out as winner of this week's Road Trip on a high?
0:27:37 > 0:27:3950 to go, then, please. Come on. 50 I'm bid.
0:27:39 > 0:27:4160 now. I've got a bid of £50. 60 anywhere?
0:27:41 > 0:27:42We've got a bid of £50. 60 anywhere now?
0:27:42 > 0:27:46I've got a bid of £50. 60? Thank you. 70 now, please.
0:27:46 > 0:27:4870 bid. Thank you. 80 now. 90?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50100 on the book. 110.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- 120.- Oh!
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- 120. 130. 140. - Oh, this is going very well!
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- 140. 150. 160.- Ker-ching!
0:27:58 > 0:27:59170.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01180.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02190.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- 200.- Gosh! It's good.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05210. 220.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08230. 240.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10250.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11- £240.- Yeah, mate!
0:28:11 > 0:28:14£240 now. Do I hear 250? We've got a bid at £240. Do I hear 250?
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Another bid, 250?
0:28:17 > 0:28:18250?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Selling at 240, then.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Here at 240. For the last time today at £240.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Are we all done at 240, then?
0:28:24 > 0:28:28- Sold at 240.- I can't believe it! - £240!
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- I cannot believe that, Will!- Mark, you've got it, you've got it, mate!
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- £240!- Oh!
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Top job, eh?
0:28:40 > 0:28:44That's a cracking profit of £190 before costs, Mark,
0:28:44 > 0:28:46and don't you look pleased with yourself?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Come on. Let's get some fresh air and a drink!
0:28:49 > 0:28:50- A stiff drink!- Come on.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58So, Will Axon's debut turned into a disaster!
0:28:58 > 0:29:01He kicked off this leg with £251.86,
0:29:01 > 0:29:06but after auction costs made a dismal loss of £91.96,
0:29:06 > 0:29:11and ends this Road Trip with just £159.90.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16Mark Stacey started this final leg with £296.
0:29:16 > 0:29:22He earned a fantastic £109.90 profit after auction costs,
0:29:22 > 0:29:24making him not only today's winner,
0:29:24 > 0:29:27but also the winner of this week's Road Trip!
0:29:27 > 0:29:31He's left with a grand total of £405.90.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Well done, Mark! All profits go to Children In Need.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Oh, well, that was a tale of two halves, wasn't it?
0:29:37 > 0:29:40A tale of two halves, I should say! Your half and mine!
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- Sorry about that!- Listen, it's all fair in love and war.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46It's been a great road trip, guys!
0:29:46 > 0:29:49You're clear this side. Yes, go on.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53Safe motoring.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56# By the sea, by the sea
0:29:56 > 0:29:58# By the beautiful sea
0:29:58 > 0:30:00# You and me, you and me... #
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Now it's time to join a brand-new set of Road Trippers.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05We're way down in the West Country.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10Old hand Phil Serrell at the wheel, plus keen learner Tom Scott.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- Are you Tom or Thomas?- I'm Tom. - Phil. Good to meet you, mate.- Yeah.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17You looking forward to this? I didn't mean to touch your knee then, by the way.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- That's all right, don't worry. - Later on in the week, perhaps.- Yes!
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Really? Hmm...
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Dealer Tom may be a Road Trip rookie, but he should know a
0:30:26 > 0:30:30thing or two about antiques, having grown up in the family business.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- It is, sadly, way out of my price league.- You want to put it back then!
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Phil's been around, it's safe to say, and as an auctioneer,
0:30:37 > 0:30:41he knows quality, but he doesn't always buy it.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Hellfire and damnation!
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Phil and Tom start out with £200 apiece,
0:30:47 > 0:30:52a 1980s Lancia Beta Spider and a map of Cornwall.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Penzance is this way, Land's End's got to be that way.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58- Penzance is that way?- Yeah. - OK. I'll do a quick handbrake.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- TYRES SCREECH - Ha-ha!
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Our trip begins at the far south west corner of Britain,
0:31:03 > 0:31:08at St Buryan, before wending its way around several counties,
0:31:08 > 0:31:10to reach Wareham, in Dorset.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13On this leg, we start out at St Buryan and make for an auction
0:31:13 > 0:31:16in Ladock.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Phil, here. St Buryan. This is your place.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- We've got to find a shop, haven't we?- Let's keep them peeled.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- Hang on. What have we got here? - Oh, there it is.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Boathouse Antiques. This looks lovely, mate.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- You're going to have a great old time in here.- I'm going to enjoy this.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36- Right!- I'm out of here. I've got to go to find my shop.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Hope she doesn't break down.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43So, the old hand is the first to hit the ground, strolling, and no prizes
0:31:43 > 0:31:47for guessing exactly what owners Martin and Trisha specialise in.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- So what are these? - These are dead eyes,
0:31:51 > 0:31:53which are part of a boat rigging.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56There would have been a large rope going through here
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- and then another one here and this would go up to the mast.- Oh, right.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04- And are those collectable? - Yes, they do, yeah.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08You've got £28 on those.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11To me, they're like 10 or 12, but let me put them by.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- Put them by.- See what we can do. - Put them by.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Utterly useless, those, but that's just my sort of thing.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19While Phil explores his seafaring side,
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Tom's at the wheel of the Lancia, discovering that long hair
0:32:23 > 0:32:26and open-top cars can be a tricky mix.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29I feel like I need to buy a headband in the first shop we get to.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Or have a haircut.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36Tom and his troublesome locks are on their way to St Just,
0:32:36 > 0:32:40the most westerly town in mainland Britain,
0:32:40 > 0:32:43so could this be our most westerly antiques shop?
0:32:43 > 0:32:44Logical.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- You must be Vicky.- I am, yes. - I'm Tom. Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51No sign of an Alice band in Bygones.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Or any of the big French antique furniture that Tom usually
0:32:54 > 0:32:57specialises in. I'm sure he'll keep his hair on though.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01This is great. A good decorative piece, this one.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05It's an urn, so there should be a tap in here. Hopefully...
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- And he's off.- Has got a few nibbles on it though, but it has...
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- It's got plenty of nibbles. And it's got the tap.- Got the tap.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13How much is it?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15£10. £10.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17What can we say?
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Eight quid and it's yours.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- Call it a fiver and we've got a deal. - Call it 8.
0:33:21 > 0:33:226. 8.
0:33:22 > 0:33:246.50.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28- 7,50, it's yours.- 7, deal.- 7.50!
0:33:28 > 0:33:32- I'll take it for 7.50. I think that's brilliant fun.- Phew!
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Is every deal he does going to be as hard-fought as that?
0:33:37 > 0:33:39First buy for the beginner.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43Back in St Buryan, Phil's uncovered yet more seafaring stuff.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46These things here, I think they're interesting.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47What do they make at auction?
0:33:47 > 0:33:52I would expect a copper one like that to make £50 or £60.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Ah, a ship's lantern.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55So how old is this?
0:33:55 > 0:33:59This one is probably World War II, I would think.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- But the glass looks all right.- Yes.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04And that strikes me that if that was polished up, it would
0:34:04 > 0:34:06make quite a nice lamp, wouldn't it?
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Yeah, it is a lamp.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12I think I'd like to buy the lamp and I'd like to buy these dead eyes.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15I've chucked all my eggs in one marine basket then.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17I feel a salty lot shaping up.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21Can I give you £40 for the two?
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- That really is too tight. - It's me being mean, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Um, for you, we could do 50.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32- That is a good price. - I know. It's a cracking price.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36That was brisk work. A rate of knots, even.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Now, any sign of young Tom adding to his old pot?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- Do you mind if I open up the...? - No, have a look.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45That's a very old Moorcroft vase. But not very colourful.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Vicky's right. Moorcroft is famous for its brilliant colour,
0:34:49 > 0:34:53divided by tube lines, in the same way that a cake is iced.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57Nice though, isn't it? It's got a lovely shape to it, lovely feel.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59What have we got? £65.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05What could be your absolute best dealer-to-dealer,
0:35:05 > 0:35:07first time Road Tripper, deal?
0:35:07 > 0:35:11My very best, £40 and it's yours. That's a bargain.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16I'm thinking more like 30. We can do a deal at 30.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19We can do a deal at 35 and it's yours.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- I'll bring it over to you. - I've seen it.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- Not 35?- Not 35. I can do 32.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- Cash, today?- Right now.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Go on, then. You've got a bargain. Done.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- I feel like I've been done.- Yeah(!)
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Well, they both sound happy enough.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Good start, Tom. Phil's still at it, too.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Seems like he's settling in, in fact.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Nothing seaworthy this time, though.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50This is a walnut fire screen
0:35:50 > 0:35:54and this would have sat in front of a fire, strangely enough.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57You've got a ticket price on that of 68.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- What's the best you could do that for?- 40.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03I think I'm going to buy that. I think that's really lovely quality.
0:36:03 > 0:36:08- Go on, here we go, £40.- £40.- You're an angel, thank you very much.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10He's not always in such a good mood, Trisha.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17Tom, meanwhile, is back on the road and heading for Ashton,
0:36:17 > 0:36:21where, deep in the Cornish countryside, he's about to see
0:36:21 > 0:36:24an astonishing collection of vintage electric guitars.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- Guy.- Tom.- Pleasure to meet you. - And very nice to meet you too.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39Thank you. I hear you've got a great collection to show us.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44Guy's passion for all things rock began back in 1963 when a friend
0:36:44 > 0:36:48somehow booked up-and-coming group The Beatles to play
0:36:48 > 0:36:51a concert at his school. Guy was smitten.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56And 50 years later, he has over 140 twangers crammed into his home.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00- So, why guitars? What's drawn you to the guitars?- They ARE rock 'n' roll.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03They define rock 'n' roll, the styles, the shapes.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06The way they've evolved over the years.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09There was a trade embargo between this country and America up
0:37:09 > 0:37:12until the late '50s, so we never saw American guitars then.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16And that's why in 1958 we have the very first commercially built
0:37:16 > 0:37:17British guitars.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22It's fantastic, beautifully made. It's a stunning piece, isn't it?
0:37:22 > 0:37:23It is a stunning piece.
0:37:23 > 0:37:29This is the earliest known surviving guitar built by Jim Burns
0:37:29 > 0:37:33and this dates from '58 and almost certainly
0:37:33 > 0:37:39it was the guitar advertised in Melody Maker on December 10th, 1959.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44Guy owns examples of just about every axe fashion,
0:37:44 > 0:37:48from the '50s up to the '90s and beyond.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Now, the '80s weren't one of our most tasteful eras
0:37:51 > 0:37:55and so Guy also has a machine gun-shaped guitar,
0:37:55 > 0:37:58inspired by Rambo, and this little treasure.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Well, this is probably the most unusual custom-built
0:38:01 > 0:38:03guitar of all time,
0:38:03 > 0:38:06and this is the Blue Moon guitar that was specially
0:38:06 > 0:38:09made for the band Showaddywaddy
0:38:09 > 0:38:12when they launched their version of the oldie Blue Moon.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15It's obviously been featured a number of times on television,
0:38:15 > 0:38:19but more recently, I managed to meet up with the band
0:38:19 > 0:38:23when they were in Falmouth and that was the first time they'd seen it
0:38:23 > 0:38:25since the very early '80s
0:38:25 > 0:38:28because the guitarist at the time, Russ Field,
0:38:28 > 0:38:31didn't find it a very comfortable guitar to play.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Because if you can imagine playing a guitar with dangling feet
0:38:35 > 0:38:37just below your waist...
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Yeah, I can see what you're getting at down there.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42So many guitars and so little time.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46Since his rock epiphany back in the '60s, Guy has been in a lot
0:38:46 > 0:38:50of bands, but things didn't quite turn out as you might expect.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54You must be itching to just give us a tune. Can you do that for us?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57I wondered if you were going to say that, because actually
0:38:57 > 0:38:59I don't play guitar.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Crikey! Turns out, he's actually a drummer!
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Hang on, is Tom really playing that thing?
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Actually, miming.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12CYMBAL CRASH
0:39:12 > 0:39:14While Tom's been wigging out,
0:39:14 > 0:39:19Phil's made his way from St Buryan to nearby Penzance.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Probably not for the sunbathing.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Enough promenading. Time to go shopping at Antiques And Fine Arts.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32- Bracing, isn't it?- It's a nice day for Cornwall(!)
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Bloody hellfire!
0:39:34 > 0:39:38- I'm Phil. How are you?- It's a bit fresh today.- Are you both shops? - Yeah.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41On one side, Jeff has traditional antiques,
0:39:41 > 0:39:44and next door, the more vintage 20th century stuff.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Maybe a little cheaper, Phil hopes.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51I'd like to spend somewhere around, I don't know,
0:39:51 > 0:39:55between 15 and £30-35, something like that.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- Well, right behind you.- We've got a pair of bed ends here.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Don't worry about the first look! The good thing about this...
0:40:01 > 0:40:02Those look like they're worth a pound.
0:40:02 > 0:40:07Yeah, but there is something to recommend them.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Yeah, I know what that is
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- because I've sold furniture by this lady, Betty Joel.- Absolutely.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15It was her husband that was designing
0:40:15 > 0:40:17and she thought she could do it better than him.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20I've got to say, looking at these, I think she was probably wrong.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Well...
0:40:22 > 0:40:25One of England's finest bespoke furniture makers during the
0:40:25 > 0:40:31'20s and '30s, Betty Joel crafted Art Deco-inspired interiors for the rich and famous.
0:40:31 > 0:40:36- This is the best way to put it, she's the Clarice Cliff of furniture.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Yeah, and even Clarice had her off days, I'm sure.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41That label, though, has to be worth something.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44In horrible things of our time, these are up there.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46I'll do you a good deal for it, don't worry.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- Can you throw in paraffin and matches as well?- That's very cruel.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53- I know.- £25.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56We've agreed that they're worth a pound.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59All we've got to do now is agree what the price of that is worth.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02I'll give you £20 and I'll take them.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04OK.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06You're a gentleman. Thank you very much indeed.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09I hope Phil knows what he's doing.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13He's rejoined Tom and they're now heading for Falmouth.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Did you know Falmouth has the deepest natural harbour
0:41:22 > 0:41:24in western Europe?
0:41:24 > 0:41:26And was once Britain's most important port.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Tom, however, is more interested in the shops.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32- Morning, Chris.- Morning.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36- How are you doing? Nice to meet you. - And you?- Yeah, very good, thank you.
0:41:36 > 0:41:41Looks like an interesting sort of place though. Packed, too.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45Phil will be arriving later. But meanwhile, Tom's first in to bat.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Look at this.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49That's fun. I like that.
0:41:49 > 0:41:54Many uses, but just great for whacking the dust out of your rugs.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Or anything you fancy. Maybe a bit of cricket in the afternoon.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- Straight to long on!- I like this. This is great. Nice chunk of oak.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Good bit of woodworm in the end. It's well used.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07I'm going to have a word with Chris about this.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- Tom certainly doesn't hang about, does he?- Chris, I love that.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- That's great.- OK.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- Does it have a price on it? - No price. I'm assuming that's...
0:42:16 > 0:42:18A low price.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20A very, very low price, I'm sure.
0:42:20 > 0:42:21What about a tenner?
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Needs to be lower than that, Chris.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- I was thinking more like a fiver. - Go on, then.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- Fiver, great. Deal.- OK.- Thank you very much.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Well, whatever that stick was used for, Tom's got it cheap.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37- He wants more, too.- What sort of things are you interested in?
0:42:37 > 0:42:40There's a couple of bits in the window I wanted to ask you about.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42- There's a little fire extinguisher down there.- OK.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44- That's great, isn't it?- Nice thing.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48"To operate, turn the handle to the left, work like a pump." Brilliant.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- That's probably about 100 years old. - It's a great piece, isn't it?
0:42:51 > 0:42:55That's good fun. It's a good piece to hang on a wall somewhere.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57- Pretty cheap.- How cheap?
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Well, it's £28. That's pretty cheap.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04- That's your ticket price. - A very low ticket price.
0:43:04 > 0:43:09- £18.- OK, let's say £20, then we won't have to change a note, will we?- £20.
0:43:09 > 0:43:1025 for two, we're done. Brilliant.
0:43:14 > 0:43:19So, while Tom heads out of town, I think that's the way actually,
0:43:19 > 0:43:22the big man is already hard on his heels.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Ah, seems he's already at browse mode.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27That's a fairly grotesque bit of Bretby, isn't it?
0:43:27 > 0:43:28Very good spot.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30Chris is impressed.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33That could be very cheap.
0:43:33 > 0:43:34I don't even like it.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36There's a bit of a pattern forming here.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39Is it Phil's latest tactic to buy stuff
0:43:39 > 0:43:42- he really can't stand the look of? - It is absolutely horrible.
0:43:42 > 0:43:46A loving cup has at least two handles for shared drinking.
0:43:46 > 0:43:50This slightly tatty example from Derbyshire dates from 1905.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52That's the issue with that, isn't it?
0:43:52 > 0:43:54I don't know what the price on that is,
0:43:54 > 0:43:57but I think that's got to be a gift with that chip.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01- Yes. What's a gift?- You don't want to know what I think a gift is.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04I think that's got to be 15 or £20.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06- With a chip in it.- OK. I'll do it for £20.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08- Really?- Mm-hmm.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10He didn't see that coming!
0:44:10 > 0:44:14This is what you've got to bear in mind. This is a typical Bretby pot.
0:44:14 > 0:44:19And the first rule of buying any pot is if it's damaged, leave it alone.
0:44:21 > 0:44:25So what am I going to do? Yeah, here we go.
0:44:25 > 0:44:26Let's put it in the pile.
0:44:26 > 0:44:30Oh, well. Like those bed heads, it's cheap enough.
0:44:30 > 0:44:35Now, is there anything else hideous that Phil's not at all keen on?
0:44:35 > 0:44:39- That might be something. Wine labels.- Some of those are silver.
0:44:39 > 0:44:40Some are unmarked silver.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43Some are silver plate.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45I think they're interesting.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48- OK, Chris. What's your price? - You said you could do 20 for that.
0:44:48 > 0:44:52I agreed 20 on that cos it's got a chip and I've had it some while.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55- Could you do those for the same? - No.- What could you do those for?
0:44:55 > 0:44:59The absolute minimum on those is going to be £40.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01The pot's at 20, the labels are at 40, that's £60.
0:45:01 > 0:45:05Can I give you £50 for the two, which is 30 for the labels
0:45:05 > 0:45:08- and 20 for the pot?- Yeah, I'll accept that.- You're a gentleman. Thank you very much.
0:45:08 > 0:45:13- That's Phil done for the day, then. - £50.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:45:13 > 0:45:19Not Tom, though. He's making his way ten miles north to Redruth.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24- Hiya.- Hi.- Walter.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27- How are you doing?- Tom. How are you doing?- Nice to meet you.
0:45:27 > 0:45:28Nice to meet you. How's it going?
0:45:30 > 0:45:32No prizes for guessing what sort of thing Tom might pick
0:45:32 > 0:45:34up in Thornley Trading.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38- This is definitely a lighting shop. Look at all this.- Yep, Tom!
0:45:39 > 0:45:41Thanks to some hard bargaining,
0:45:41 > 0:45:44he still has over £130 in his pocket.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47There's a nice ship's lamp in the window down here.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49I like the look of that.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52How bizarre! Another ship's lamp.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55- A nice original one.- A good chunk.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57Nice, yeah. Clean up nice.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01Don't know the history of that one, tell you the truth.
0:46:01 > 0:46:05- OK, so it's...- It's local.- Yeah.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09I love it, but 175 is just way out of my price league.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11I'm looking at £60.
0:46:11 > 0:46:15Nah, I couldn't let it go. I paid more than £60 for it myself.
0:46:15 > 0:46:19- I could do 70. - Definitely not going lower than 90.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Meet me in the middle. £80.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23Nah.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25£80 cash...
0:46:25 > 0:46:28- We could do a deal right now. - It's less than half price, man!
0:46:28 > 0:46:30I'll wrap it up.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33- 85, you've got a deal. 85.- 80?
0:46:33 > 0:46:36- No, 85. Come on.- 85.
0:46:36 > 0:46:37- Deal.- Done.
0:46:37 > 0:46:42Phew! Tom's finally splashed out. Wisely not spent it all, though.
0:46:46 > 0:46:47Phil started out with £200
0:46:47 > 0:46:51and he spent £160 on five auction lots.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53The Bretby cup.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55The drinks labels.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57The bed ends.
0:46:57 > 0:47:01The fire screen, and the ship's lantern with the dead eyes.
0:47:02 > 0:47:07Tom also began with £200, and he spent £149.50
0:47:07 > 0:47:09on five auction lots.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11The Irish paddle.
0:47:11 > 0:47:12The Moorcroft vase.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14The filtration urn.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18The fire extinguisher, and another ship's lantern.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22After beginning in St Buryan,
0:47:22 > 0:47:27this leg's trip will be decided at an auction in Ladock.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30- What are you worried about today? - Only the five lots I've got in.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32That Bretby mug, yeah?
0:47:32 > 0:47:36Probably one of the worst things ever known to mankind.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39Run a very close second by my Billy Joel bed ends
0:47:39 > 0:47:41and an Edwardian fire screen that nobody wants.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43Oh, Lordy!
0:47:46 > 0:47:49There's a healthy turnout for today's auction, and auctioneer
0:47:49 > 0:47:51Philip Buddell is ready to start.
0:47:53 > 0:47:57First under the hammer, Phil's least favourite lot,
0:47:57 > 0:47:59the Bretby loving cup,
0:47:59 > 0:48:01with a chip.
0:48:01 > 0:48:06Ideal for all you into a bit of love this weekend. Start me at £20.
0:48:06 > 0:48:07- 20, I'm bid.- That's a relief.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10At £20 on the Bretby loving cup. At 20.
0:48:10 > 0:48:14- At £20, I'm bid. At 20.- He can drop the hammer, I don't care at all.
0:48:14 > 0:48:1626, 28. 28, I have in front.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18At 28, 30 at the back. At £30.
0:48:18 > 0:48:19It's getting there.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21I'm absolutely...staggered.
0:48:21 > 0:48:2432, I have. 34 at the back.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26At £34. 36.
0:48:26 > 0:48:2936, bidding in the front here. At £36. 38.
0:48:29 > 0:48:3038 in the second row.
0:48:30 > 0:48:3340 in front. At £40, I can breathe again.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36At 40, I'm bid. At £40. 42, would you say now?
0:48:36 > 0:48:40Against you. Shame to miss it for another £2.
0:48:40 > 0:48:41I'll lend him a pound!
0:48:41 > 0:48:42At 42. 44.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44At 44. Come again. Surely.
0:48:44 > 0:48:48At £44, have you all done? If the gavel's up, I sell.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50Bidding in front at £44.
0:48:50 > 0:48:5344, 133. Thank you.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56So much for Phil's chipped pot advice!
0:48:56 > 0:48:58- Bargain.- That's all right.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00- Well done!- Thank you.
0:49:00 > 0:49:01Well done, Victor!
0:49:01 > 0:49:06Time for Tom's possibly Irish paddle or bat... Bit of old wood?
0:49:06 > 0:49:07Looking for someone with a canoe.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10Where are you going to start me on this one?
0:49:10 > 0:49:13£5, thank you. 5, I'm bid, on the Irish paddle. At £5.
0:49:13 > 0:49:17- At £5, a fairly useless piece of equipment.- What's he saying?
0:49:17 > 0:49:19At 5, I'm bid. At 6, would you say now?
0:49:19 > 0:49:22£5. 6. At 6, I'm bid. At £6, a brave man here at 6.
0:49:22 > 0:49:26- 7. Come on! - At 7, I'm bid. At £7. £8.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28- Racing away, Tom.- Yes! Here we go!
0:49:28 > 0:49:30At 9, I have. We're in the big money, almost.
0:49:30 > 0:49:3210 at the back. At 10.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35- That's it.- Bidding at the back of the room, at 10, I have for the paddle.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37At £12, I'm bid. At 12, I have. 14.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40- At £12 on the oak paddle. - Come on!- 14.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42At £14. £16.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45At £16. Let's face it, if you take this home with you, it's a
0:49:45 > 0:49:48wonderful talking point round the dinner table.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50- At 16, I'm bid. Bidding in front. 18.- 18, come on!
0:49:50 > 0:49:53- We're going to get there! - You're away!
0:49:53 > 0:49:55At £20. 22.
0:49:55 > 0:49:58At £22. It should be worth about £100.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00At 22, on the paddle.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03Could be Irish, could be Cornish, could be Welsh, could be Scottish...
0:50:03 > 0:50:05Could be sold in a minute.
0:50:05 > 0:50:09- That's got to be good. - Selling at £22. Bidding in front.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11£22, you lucky man.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14Now, that should stir things up.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17- You pleased with that? - I'll buy some more of those.- Yeah.
0:50:17 > 0:50:21- Brilliant.- There's a bloke got one down here, but he wants £40 for it!
0:50:21 > 0:50:23HE LAUGHS
0:50:23 > 0:50:26OK, the labels. Phil actually liked these.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29There we are. What have you got to say on those labels?
0:50:29 > 0:50:33- Start me at- £10. Ouch.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36£10 on the labels. Where's your sense of adventure?
0:50:36 > 0:50:3819th-century Sheffield plate.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41And a silver one there. Thank you. 10, I'm bid.
0:50:41 > 0:50:43At 10. I have £10.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45On my left at 12.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47At 12, the labels. 14 at the back.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50- £16. - You've got three or four bidders.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52I'm bid at 20. At 20, bidding to my left,
0:50:52 > 0:50:55at £20 on the white metal labels. 22 at the back.
0:50:55 > 0:50:58At £22, £22. I have £22.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01And 4. At £24. 26. At 26, I'm bid.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Ouch!
0:51:03 > 0:51:04Really?
0:51:04 > 0:51:06- These are cheap! - That's REALLY cheap.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08At £26. 8 to advance it.
0:51:08 > 0:51:12Selling at £26. Bidding at the far end of the room.
0:51:12 > 0:51:13Selling.
0:51:13 > 0:51:1526, to 139.
0:51:15 > 0:51:18Oops! That's a blow.
0:51:18 > 0:51:22- Is there happiness written all over your face?- No!
0:51:22 > 0:51:24No!
0:51:24 > 0:51:27Will this be a nice little urn-er for Tom?
0:51:27 > 0:51:30- What will this make, then? - This, mate...
0:51:30 > 0:51:33The only thing this'll make is a good plant pot with a weed growing
0:51:33 > 0:51:37- out the top of it, I think. - Start me at £20.- Come on! Yes!
0:51:37 > 0:51:40Mid-19th century, some age with it. Lot of use left in it,
0:51:40 > 0:51:43if you want to do a bit of filtration this weekend.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45Start me at 10, then. 10, I'm bid.
0:51:45 > 0:51:49- At- £10. You're getting too good at this! Instant profit straightaway.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53- At 12. - I'm beginning not to like you, Tom.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55Oh, here we go. Look at this.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57At £12. 14.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59At 14. 16. At 16, £16. 18.
0:51:59 > 0:52:03At 18, I'm at 18. At £18, bidding in the front row.
0:52:03 > 0:52:07- I tell you what, I should do this for a living.- I thought you did.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09At £18...I sell.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11All done at 18. 20 or not?
0:52:11 > 0:52:13£18.
0:52:13 > 0:52:16Another solid profit puts Tom in the lead.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19- That's you racing away, you see? - That's all right.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22I'm getting quietly kippered here!
0:52:22 > 0:52:26What you've done is you've lulled me into a false sense of security.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29Now, can another of Phil's unloved acquisitions get him
0:52:29 > 0:52:31back in the game?
0:52:31 > 0:52:34If I get out of this without being burnt, it's a result.
0:52:34 > 0:52:38Right, who's going to start me at £40 on the bed head and foot boards?
0:52:38 > 0:52:40£40, designed by Betty Joel.
0:52:40 > 0:52:4340, I'm bid. 40, I have. At £40.
0:52:43 > 0:52:46- At £40, I'm bid. At £40. - Start the car, I'm off!
0:52:46 > 0:52:49What is going on here?
0:52:49 > 0:52:52That certificate alone is worth £50.
0:52:52 > 0:52:56Forget about the bed head and foot boards. At £40, I'm bid.
0:52:56 > 0:52:5945, I'll take. At £40.
0:52:59 > 0:53:03Where is your sense of taste and your knowledge?
0:53:03 > 0:53:06Bidding at the back, 45. 50. At 50, I've got. 55?
0:53:06 > 0:53:09At £50, against you on the right. Bidding on the left.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13At £50, if you're all done for 50. Should be worth double.
0:53:13 > 0:53:18At £50, I sell. £50. 114.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20Oh, Betty's bed to the rescue!
0:53:20 > 0:53:22That's good going.
0:53:22 > 0:53:25What my mother's going to do with those, I don't know!
0:53:25 > 0:53:29Tom's Moorcroft. Again, hardly typical.
0:53:29 > 0:53:33Are you going to start me on this one? £30 on the Moorcroft vase?
0:53:33 > 0:53:3530. 20, then.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38£20 on the Moorcroft. Thank you. 20, I'm bid. At £20. 22.
0:53:38 > 0:53:41- 24. 26. 28.- Come on.
0:53:41 > 0:53:4432. 34. 36 in front.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47At £36. 38 at the back.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50- 38. 40 on my left.- You're fine. You're fine.
0:53:50 > 0:53:5240 on the early Moorcroft. 42.
0:53:52 > 0:53:5642, you won't find many earlier than this. 44.

0:58:30 > 0:58:31It was close.
0:58:31 > 0:58:33Too close!
