0:00:02 > 0:00:05- It's the nation's favourite antiques experts...- All right, viewers?
0:00:05 > 0:00:07..with £200 each, a classic car and a goal -
0:00:07 > 0:00:10to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12I'm on fire!
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Sold! Going, going, gone.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18But it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:1950p!
0:00:19 > 0:00:22There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23You've had it a while, haven't you?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25So, will it be the high road to glory
0:00:25 > 0:00:27or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Ooh!
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Oh, no!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40On this road trip, we're travelling with two auctioneering aces.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42They're also the best of pals.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45James, this is our last leg,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and I'll be awful sad to finish it,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50because we have had a few laughs, haven't we?
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Anita Manning is a glamorous Glasgow girl,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56who has had her fair share of surprises on this trip.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Argh!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I still don't like spiders.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Well, hopefully we won't find any on the last leg.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Or maybe on the last eight legs.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Very good, James.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Whilst James Lewis is a Derbyshire lad
0:01:13 > 0:01:15who's really displayed the Midas touch.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Give him a wee clap!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22They both began this trip with £200.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25In previous legs, Anita has managed
0:01:25 > 0:01:27to swell her coffers
0:01:27 > 0:01:30to a healthy £466.32.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34But James is currently Mr Moneybags,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37having accumulated a cash pot
0:01:37 > 0:01:41of an extraordinary £1,204.54.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Today our twosome are driving a Swinging Sixties sweetheart -
0:01:47 > 0:01:50the 1969 Volkswagen Beetle.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54We've seen some wonderful counties in England.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56We've been to Herefordshire. No, Hertfordshire.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Hertfordshire, Herefordshire and Hampshire,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02where hurricanes hardly ever happen.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Huh!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06They started this whole road trip actually in Oxfordshire,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09and have toured the stately southern counties of England,
0:02:09 > 0:02:10heading for auction in London.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12On this last leg of their journey,
0:02:12 > 0:02:13they'll begin in Dorchester,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17with all eyes on their final auction in our nation's capital.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Oxfordshire...
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Devon...
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Dorset...
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Yes, they've been all over.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27But this morning, they are indeed in Dorset
0:02:27 > 0:02:30and driving towards Dorchester,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32where they're both beginning their day's shopping.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Oh, they've driven straight into the middle of a classic motorcycle meet.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Trust you two! Probably try and buy one, James.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Wow, look at this!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Oh, James! Wow!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45An old Norton. Wow!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- This is very much your era, isn't it? - Yeah!
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- '30s and all that. - Watch it, watch it!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Oh, dear!- These are wonderful.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Golly!
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Anyway, less about the old bikes, more about antiques.- OK.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Indeed.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05They're splitting up to wander to their first shops.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10James is strolling off into De Danann Antiques,
0:03:10 > 0:03:11where he's meeting dealer John.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Hi there!- All right.- Is it John? - Yeah.- James. Nice to see you.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Golly! You've got a big place.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20No need to be personal.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23It's a sizeable antiques centre, so he'll need to use his head
0:03:23 > 0:03:25if he's going to root out a bargain.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Hello!
0:03:29 > 0:03:34Hello! He's shortly spotted another couple of animal-themed items.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Crufts dog show.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Oh, really?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42A pair of EPBM - electro-plated base metal - cups.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Commemorating the Crufts dog show.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47When did Crufts start?
0:03:47 > 0:03:491891, as it happens.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52These possibly date from the early years of the event.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Ticket price is £45 for the pair.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Not much.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01The style of them - this is very much in what we call the Rococo style.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Very Victorian.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Embossed with flowers and these giant C-scrolls.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08It says they're a pair, but they're not,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10because if you hold them together,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13one is about half an inch longer than the other,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15and also, different makers,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18so I reckon they'd have been different years.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20He's noting them and browsing on.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Soon he spies something else which really speaks of its own history.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28That's quite interesting.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Lt W Batty of the Royal Signals.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37So we've got an engineer's tool cabinet
0:04:37 > 0:04:41with precision instruments and chisels.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I don't see any precision instruments,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47but the Royal Corps of Signals is a branch of the armed forces
0:04:47 > 0:04:49dedicated to telecommunications.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52This toolkit dates from the early 20th century.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Well, maybe. Ticket price, £60.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58It's mahogany lined as well, which is nice.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01And brass locks and hinges.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- John, could I...?- Yeah.- Thank you.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10I've got a couple of things I'm looking at up here.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I thought they're quite interesting.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Yeah, Crufts.- I thought they might be early Crufts trophies,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17but they're not a pair, though.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- One's slightly bigger than the other. - Good lord!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- One for one year and one for another?- Yes, that's what I think.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Er...25.
0:05:25 > 0:05:2725. OK.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30And what about the signalman's toolkit?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32That could be 40.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34(40...)
0:05:35 > 0:05:3765.
0:05:37 > 0:05:3860 for the two.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- 50 the two?- 55?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44There you go. 55. Thank you.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Excellent! A great deal done with military efficiency.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53And James has the Crufts vases and the toolkit for £55 the lot.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Now, Anita's nearby at Dorchester Curiosity Centre,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01where she's meeting dealer Martin.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Stand by, Martin.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Hello!- Hi.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- I'm Anita.- I'm Martin. Nice to meet you.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Anita's full of childlike wonder this morning.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I love this type of place.
0:06:12 > 0:06:18It's a big warehouse and there is thousands and thousands of items
0:06:18 > 0:06:22of every type and every fashion.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24MUSIC: "Black Beauty" THEME
0:06:24 > 0:06:26And she's soon spotted something outside
0:06:26 > 0:06:28that she'd like to take for a ride.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35What's this wee soul doing out here all alone?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37He's a black beauty.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Certainly is.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41It's a metal spring-mounted rocking horse.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Ticket price is £65.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47He's a tin toy. He's from the 1940s,
0:06:47 > 0:06:51so he has a bit of age. He's a vintage item.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55He's resting on these springs,
0:06:55 > 0:06:59and it's a fairly tough and substantial toy.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Of course, she's going to test that theory. Stand by.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04He would probably take my weight.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Careful!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09TIM TITTERS
0:07:09 > 0:07:11My legs are too long!
0:07:11 > 0:07:14But he's a good strong creature.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I think I'll have a go at him.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Hmm. Better get Martin.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Why has he been tethered outside?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22He loves the fresh air.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24What I'd be looking to buy him for
0:07:24 > 0:07:27is round about £25.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29HE INHALES SHARPLY Right.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I'd like to look at 30.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32- At 30?- Yeah.- Uh-huh.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Could you come a wee bit sort of...
0:07:35 > 0:07:37halfway between the two?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Let's go £28, then. How's that?- £28? That sounds absolutely wonderful.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Thank you very much.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44One item safely stabled,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48and she's soon toying with the idea of another playful buy.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52We've got a whole army there. I'm not sure
0:07:52 > 0:07:54which army!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I think it's second childhood, you know.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59100 lead toy soldiers,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01not all originating from the same set.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Ticket price on the whole assortment is £108.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Is she going gaga?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I think we have Confederates,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12so it might be something to do...
0:08:12 > 0:08:15or some of them might be something to do with the American Civil War.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I'm going to ask the dealer about them.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19The dealer who owns them is called Gary.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Excuse me! Hello!
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- I'm Anita.- Hello, Anita. Gary.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28What I do like about this is that you've got quite a quantity.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30You can have a good wee...war there.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31A good battle, yeah!
0:08:31 > 0:08:34And if all else fails,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37you've got these four Scotsmen with kilts on,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40who will come down and win the battle.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42And all this chat about brave Scots warriors
0:08:42 > 0:08:46has whetted Anita's appetite for a serious haggle. Look out, Gary!
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Can they be bought for in the region of,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54say, £30, £35?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I think the best I could do really is 55.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- 55 on that?- Yes.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Could you take another tenner off of it?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I'll met you halfway. 50.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Shall we go for it?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- If you're happy.- Let's go with that. Thank you very much, Gary.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- You're very welcome.- That's smashing.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I'm in a playful mood today.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12You certainly seem to be.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15So, she's got the rocking horse and the lead soldiers
0:09:15 > 0:09:16for a total of £78.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21And now she's trotting off to find a sandpit to play in, perhaps.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Now, James is still in his first shop.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28That's ominous.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34That's quite interesting.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38It's a shot flask for...
0:09:38 > 0:09:41or powder flask
0:09:41 > 0:09:44for an 18th-century musket.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Made from one whole cow horn.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Mmm. It's designed to hold shot or gunpowder.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Ticket price is £18
0:09:53 > 0:09:56and James is impressed with its quality.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Just look at the way that's been heated
0:10:01 > 0:10:04and flattened. Very subtly done.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Into these panels and then spiralled.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09£18.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Well...it's not expensive at that.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I'll just see what he can do on it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16See what his best price is.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Go for it.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Hi.- Hi.- What could you do on that for me?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- 9.- 9?- Yeah.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Deal. Thank you very much.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28That's grand.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Golly, that deal was over like a shot.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Swift work, chaps.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39And his magpie eye is soon caught by something shiny
0:10:39 > 0:10:40elsewhere in the shop.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I'm thinking about useful things for the dining table.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48And there we've got a pair of
0:10:48 > 0:10:53Victorian Sheffield plate bottle coasters.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Sheffield plate is clever stuff.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58It looks just like the real solid silver,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01except it's silver on top of a layer of copper.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Popular in the 18th and 19th centuries.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Two pairs of the coasters, priced up at £30 each,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10so £60 the lot.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15But it's the damage, and the damage is key.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18We've got a boss missing off that one in the centre
0:11:18 > 0:11:20and we've got woodworm in the base there.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22HE INHALES
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Best see what John could do, then.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27John, what could they be?
0:11:27 > 0:11:2940 the lot.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31How about 35, then?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- 35, yeah?- Is 35 all right?- Yeah. That's fine.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36You've got a deal. Thank you very much.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Thank you.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Smashing.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40After a bumper browse in this shop,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42James has secured a whopping four items.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Thank you, John!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Now, Anita's also still in Dorchester.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Continuing the playful theme she started this morning shopping with,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56she's now wandered on to the town's teddy bear museum.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Fancy a hug?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03She's meeting the proprietor, Jackie Ridley.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Hello! It's lovely to be here.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07- My name's Anita.- I'm Jackie.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- And I'm a teddy bear girl. - I'm so glad!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12You've come to the right place.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14This enchanting museum grew out of
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Jackie's own enormous and quirky collection of teddy bears.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Collecting bears is a personal passion
0:12:21 > 0:12:23that she's had since childhood.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Do you still have your first bear? - I do.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- And he's here today.- Is he? Oh!
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Can I have a wee cuddle?- Oh, yes.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Aw! He's very sweet.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Jackie, I can't wait to see the rest of the collection.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Well, come and have a look.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Teddy bears are named after
0:12:41 > 0:12:44US President Theodore - or Teddy - Roosevelt.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48The story goes that Roosevelt spared the life of a bear
0:12:48 > 0:12:50when on a hunting trip,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53and this inspired a couple who owned as Brooklyn candy store
0:12:53 > 0:12:56to create a toy in tribute.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58The wife, Rose, Rose Michtom,
0:12:58 > 0:13:03would actually make a little tiny Teddy's bear.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07So she makes a Teddy's bear and pops it in her husband's shop window.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- And that's how they started? - That's how it all started.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Though the teddy is as American as apple pie in its origins,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17it was a German company, Steiff,
0:13:17 > 0:13:19that really popularised it
0:13:19 > 0:13:22and remains the key name in collectable bears to this day.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Well, Margarete Steiff had the capacity
0:13:27 > 0:13:31to key into this Teddy's bear.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34She had a huge factory and she was able to suddenly
0:13:34 > 0:13:36manufacture them in quantity,
0:13:36 > 0:13:41and by 1903, the Germans had virtually taken over
0:13:41 > 0:13:46the market for this new phenomenon which everyone wanted,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48which was a teddy bear.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53So they had the capacity. They did it. They got in first.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56The Steiff company has remained synonymous
0:13:56 > 0:13:59with valuable and collectable bears.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Jackie's taking Anita to see a copy
0:14:01 > 0:14:04of the most valuable teddy in the world -
0:14:04 > 0:14:10a Steiff bear that sold at auction for an astonishing £110,000.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14In the museum, what we wanted to do, we wanted to show people
0:14:14 > 0:14:19what someone has bought for that kind of money.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24What are we looking for in an early Steiff bear?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27What are the characteristics that we need to look for?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Look at the length of the arms.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Look at this lovely hump.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Look at the way the stitching is done,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38the way the nose is made, and the eyes.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41The eyes are glass eyes.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43They're not plastic eyes.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45I don't think it's only that,
0:14:45 > 0:14:50but it's the fact that this is just a gorgeous...thing.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Well, I think this will send us all
0:14:52 > 0:14:57- searching in the attics for our old teddy bear.- Absolutely.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00But it would have to be a very, very special teddy.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01It would.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03It's nearly time for Anita to hit the road,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05but first, she's going to have
0:15:05 > 0:15:07a last look around Jackie's collection.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10# If you go down in the woods today
0:15:10 > 0:15:13# You're sure of a big surprise... #
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Look out, Anita! Some of the locals are taking an interest in you.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18They'll want an autograph.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21# For every bear that ever there was
0:15:21 > 0:15:24# Will gather there for certain because
0:15:24 > 0:15:29# Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic. #
0:15:30 > 0:15:34It's the end of a jolly packed first day.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Night-night, chaps.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40But the fresh morning air greets them back in the car
0:15:40 > 0:15:42and they're as competitive as ever.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- I bought some really wonderful things.- Aw, no!
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Wonderful.- Aw, no!
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Don't despair, Anita.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54So far, James has spent £99 on four lots -
0:15:54 > 0:15:56the army engineer's toolbox,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58the Crufts vases,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01the 19th-century shot flask and the bottle coasters.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Whilst Anita has spent only £78 on two lots -
0:16:08 > 0:16:10the rocking horse and the job lot of toy soldiers.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14What I want to do today, James, is to find something
0:16:14 > 0:16:17that's going to make me £3,000!
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Don't we all, Anita.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Let's hope your luck's in, girl.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24They're driving to the city of Portsmouth in Hampshire.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Portsmouth has for centuries
0:16:26 > 0:16:29been one of Britain's most vital naval ports.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Its history is commemorated by the city's modern Spinnaker Tower.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37They're pulling up beside a naval hero.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- There we go!- Well done, James.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Who is that?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- It's Nelson, of course.- Oh, yeah!
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Good-looking guy from the back.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Hey, Anita, stop ogling a statue!
0:16:49 > 0:16:51She's going to drive onwards, though.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54But James is going to his first shop.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Have fun!- Bye-bye, darling!- Bye-bye.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03He's marching off towards the Antiques Storehouse,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07which is located right in the heart of Portsmouth's historic docks.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11James has been here before, so already knows dealer Andrew.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Hi, Andrew. How are you?- Hi, James. Good to see you.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24I've got to find something that's got a chance of making a profit.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Yep, that's the general idea.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30But he's just found something with real historic interest.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33One thing that almost everybody finds
0:17:33 > 0:17:35when they're doing a house clearance,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37stuck at the back of the bureau,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40is Granny's death certificate, or Grandad's death certificate.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42But...
0:17:43 > 0:17:45..this one is slightly different.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I mean, that...
0:17:52 > 0:17:54is an incredible thing to see.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Churchill's death certificate.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00There would be more than one.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04You would have to prove to the tax office, to the Inland Revenue,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06but also, you would have copies made
0:18:06 > 0:18:09for the family as well, for the family records.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Yeah, there could be lots of copies knocking about.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14It's priced at £1,100. Huh!
0:18:14 > 0:18:17So James isn't sure he could make a profit on it.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22But he's visited this shop on a previous road trip,
0:18:22 > 0:18:26and he's remembered some stock of Andrew's he'd like to revisit.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29One of the things you pointed out very kindly
0:18:29 > 0:18:34were two very thick boxes, blue boxes of William Wyllie sketches.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- I haven't moved them since! - Haven't you?!
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Andrew has two boxes crammed full of works
0:18:40 > 0:18:45that came from the studio of popular artist William Lionel Wyllie,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48who painted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52There you go.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Ah, brilliant! Where shall we go with these?
0:18:55 > 0:18:59James did rather well from the last Wyllie sketch he bought here.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Can he repeat the trick?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Here we have a whole mass of prints and watercolours
0:19:05 > 0:19:08and sketches by William Wyllie.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11William Wyllie was really known for his etchings
0:19:11 > 0:19:14of yachts and ships,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16and there's the man himself.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18There he is. That's William Wyllie,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20painting a large-scale oil.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23James has found one unusual sketch that he really likes.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I think that's quite smart.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28And there's a bird sitting on a cat's head,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32sharing a bowl of milk with mice.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34"United Happy Family" he's called it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37That's bonkers!
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Love it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41He's going to speak to Andrew about that one.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Could that be 10?- Yeah, that's fine.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47And he's also selected another piece.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51There's a yacht, which I thought would be more his sort of thing,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53so, I mean, what would you want for that?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56That's going to be getting...certainly £50 for that.
0:19:56 > 0:19:5850. OK.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Take 50 the two?- I'll do them for 60.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03That was 50 and that was 10 anyway!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Was it? I thought I said 20. OK, 50's fine.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- You've got a deal.- That is really nice, actually.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13It is. James gets his wily way with his Wyllie pictures for £50.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16And he's sailing onwards. Hopefully upwards.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22Now, Anita's driven on to the town of Fareham, Hampshire,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24where she's visiting Antiques of Fareham.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Proprietor Nick has his stock in a rather unusual setting.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Hello.- Hello! I'm Anita Manning.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Hi. I'm Nick.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- I'm looking to buy some antiques. Am I in the right place?- Yes, you are.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Tell you what, if you just stand over there,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I'll open up the door and reveal all to you.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Sounds interesting.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47It does!
0:20:50 > 0:20:52What are you up to, Anita?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- Hello again!- Hello!
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Nick and his wife used to have a shop in town,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03but now mainly deal online and at antique fairs,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06so they've generously allowed Anita into their garage,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08where they keep their stock.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Best behaviour, now, Anita.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Ah, terrific!
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Can I have a wee look around? - You can.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22And she's soon unearthed something that she likes the look of.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I rather like this little purse.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Late 19th, early 20th century.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34If you open it up, it's in absolutely perfect condition.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39But it has a faintly Art Deco look about it.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43As if it was blowing a kiss to the Art Deco period.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Hmm. You do have a way with words, Anita.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Ticket price is £35.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52The purse is made of ivory,
0:21:52 > 0:21:56but of course it's illegal to trade in ivory items made after 1947.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02But this little purse here was made well before that time.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04And there's something else from a similar period
0:22:04 > 0:22:05that's also caught her fancy.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09I like this. I find it very appealing.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11It's a little evening purse.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16Now, the body of the purse is made of the finest kid leather.
0:22:16 > 0:22:22It's very soft, so there's a sort of slight Art Deco look about that.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25This is probably the type of purse
0:22:25 > 0:22:30that a fine stylish lady would have carried on a night out
0:22:30 > 0:22:33at the turn of the century in Shanghai.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Ooh! Ticket price on the leather purse is £18.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41She's going to ask Nick about both her Art Deco-influenced items.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46What they've both got is probably more style
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- than quality. Would you agree with me on that?- Yes, absolutely.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53They were made at the turn of the century when style was at its height.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57What will Anita offer on the ivory purse?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01I would be thinking of that probably in the region of...
0:23:01 > 0:23:04£12 to £15.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05And what about the leather one?
0:23:05 > 0:23:11I'd be maybe in the region of £8, round about that.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16- Hmm.- Am I anywhere near where it may be possible to buy these?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I think we might be able to do something.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I don't know if I can do it quite as low as that,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25but for me to cover my costs and just make a little bit,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29I think what I'd be looking at would be about 25, 27 for the pair.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Is there any possibility of coming near 20 on it?
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Um...
0:23:33 > 0:23:38I think just to make a little bit in it for me,
0:23:38 > 0:23:39if I said 22?
0:23:39 > 0:23:42That's absolutely fine with me.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43I'm happy with that.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46So Anita's got her stylish buys and she's off.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Now, James has driven on to the Southsea area of Portsmouth.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56He's going to spend the afternoon
0:23:56 > 0:23:59visiting the area's Royal Marines Museum,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02where he's going to learn the dashing, eccentric
0:24:02 > 0:24:03and terribly British story
0:24:03 > 0:24:06of one Royal Marine who served in World War II
0:24:06 > 0:24:09and put his artistic skills to use as a spy.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13He's meeting the museum's curator, Ian Main.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- Ian.- Welcome to the Royal Marines Museum.- Thank you very much.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18What a spot!
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- I'd love to see more. Shall we go in and have a look?- After you.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Ian's taking James into the museum's medal room,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27which houses their vast collection of decorations
0:24:27 > 0:24:29awarded to Royal Marines.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33The stories of over 2,500 brave servicemen are celebrated here,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35but James has come to learn about
0:24:35 > 0:24:38one particular charismatic Marines officer.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41So, a huge number of stories represented in the museum,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43a lot of them quite unexpected.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47This chap here is Major Guy Griffiths
0:24:47 > 0:24:50and he was actually a Royal Marines pilot,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52just before the Second World War.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Guy Griffiths served in the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Marines -
0:24:55 > 0:24:58a flying unit deployed at sea.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Guy Griffiths was actually on board
0:25:00 > 0:25:02the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal in 1939.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08He was one of the very first Fleet Air Arm pilots
0:25:08 > 0:25:12to attempt to sink a submarine.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14In September 1939,
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Griffiths, along with his observer colleague,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21took off from the Ark Royal on a mission to bomb a German U-boat.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25He caught sight of the U-boat
0:25:25 > 0:25:28and he released his bombs onto the U-boat.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Unfortunately, he was actually too close,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33and as the bombs went off,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35they actually blew the tailplane off his aircraft.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37He ditched in the sea.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39His observer had been killed.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42And he had the rather embarrassing prospect
0:25:42 > 0:25:46of actually being rescued by the people he tried to sink.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49He was actually one of the first people to become a POW
0:25:49 > 0:25:51during the Second World War.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54As this amazing cine footage shows,
0:25:54 > 0:25:55the early days in POW camps
0:25:55 > 0:25:59could actually be quite civilised for the officer class.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05But of course, he ended up in one of the more well-known camps,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- which was Stalag Luft III. - Oh, blimey.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Which was, of course, the one that was made famous
0:26:10 > 0:26:13in the film The Great Escape.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14And the real-life story
0:26:14 > 0:26:18also inspired a specific character in the famous film.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Griffiths was actually a very keen artist and illustrator
0:26:21 > 0:26:25and so what Griffiths actually did during his time in captivity
0:26:25 > 0:26:28was he did a lot of drawing and painting.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31But he was also involved in the forging team,
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- so the character that's played by Donald Pleasence is...- Yes!
0:26:35 > 0:26:39- Faking the passports and things and then the travel documents.- Yes.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42As well as forging documents and creating cartoons
0:26:42 > 0:26:44with which to amuse his fellow internees,
0:26:44 > 0:26:48the dashing Griffiths also put his artistic skills to good use
0:26:48 > 0:26:50in a rather more cunning way.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53He actually started drawing types of aircraft
0:26:53 > 0:26:54that didn't exist,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56and then sending them in letters,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58which of course he knew would be opened,
0:26:58 > 0:27:02and describing the latest, you know, new-fangled invention,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04which of course didn't exist,
0:27:04 > 0:27:08but it got the German intelligence machine working overtime.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10He acted as a spy for British military intelligence
0:27:10 > 0:27:12whilst inside the camp.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15So through the simple expedient of a few drawings and watercolours,
0:27:15 > 0:27:20he started to create confusion and havoc.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22How fantastic!
0:27:22 > 0:27:26What Griffiths did was a very, very clever use of his talent.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Near the end of the war, Griffiths led his fellow POWs
0:27:30 > 0:27:32out of the camp to freedom.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34He went on to be a test pilot,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36the first Marine ever to fly a helicopter
0:27:36 > 0:27:38and served in the Korean War.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I think my favourite piece,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43which goes back to my own childhood,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45is that he ends up running a tea shop in Chichester.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49And I just love the idea of going into a tea shop in Chichester
0:27:49 > 0:27:51in the sort of 1970s
0:27:51 > 0:27:52and, you now, you're there
0:27:52 > 0:27:55with this guy who's done all this remarkable stuff.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Cor, that is an incredible story!
0:27:57 > 0:28:01And only one of thousands that could be told in this room.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03But it's time for James to fly.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Anita's also made her way to Southsea,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14where she's heading into Parmiters Antiques
0:28:14 > 0:28:16to meet sharply dressed dealer Ian.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- Hello.- Hello. I'm Anita.- Hello, Anita. Welcome to Southsea.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Oh, nice jacket, sir!
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Ian's shop is stuffed to the gunwales
0:28:24 > 0:28:27with eye-catching and eccentric items,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30which plays right into Anita's wheelhouse.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32This is so visually exciting!
0:28:32 > 0:28:38It all seems so...mad and unusual.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40- It's probably a bit like me.- Is it?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42You two should get along swimmingly, then.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Time for a browse, Anita.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Shortly she's fallen for something
0:28:51 > 0:28:53redolent of the great British seaside.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Isn't he adorable?
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Not another one!
0:28:57 > 0:28:59This is Puck the magic dragon.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Ah, Puff's brother, is he?
0:29:01 > 0:29:06I think that this is a fairground animal.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11I think this is off one of the rides of maybe the 1940s
0:29:11 > 0:29:13or 1950s.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16And it appeals to me because it is so colourful.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I wonder how much it is?
0:29:18 > 0:29:19Best ask Ian.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Ian.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22Yes, Anita?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27I've fallen in love with Puck the magic dragon.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29I suppose you want to know how much it is?
0:29:29 > 0:29:30She sure does.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33I'm asking 150, but I'm open to an offer.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- We can do a wee bit of bargaining. - Yeah.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39- Without falling out.- I won't fall out with you, Anita.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40- Cos you're nice.- That's good!
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Say I come in at...
0:29:43 > 0:29:44£80?
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- How does that sound?- 120.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50100.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- Go on, then. - Thank you very much!
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Cor, she's splashing her cash today.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57But she'll have to be bold
0:29:57 > 0:30:00if she's going to stand any chance against James. Hello!
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Not my type.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07No, but there's someone outside who does take her fancy.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14This is one of the things that I noticed
0:30:14 > 0:30:16when I came in at the beginning.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17A footballer.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22It's a piece of a fairground attraction. Ticket price is £120.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27I'm not the biggest of fans of football,
0:30:27 > 0:30:29but I'm a great fan of the fairground.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33I'm still feeling very, very playful!
0:30:33 > 0:30:36I'm going to have a go at that. I think that's great.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39And he's got fabulous thighs.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Yeah, footballer's!
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- I want to ask you about something else.- OK.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45What can you give him to me for?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Well, again...,what am I asking? 120.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51120. Could I come in at 60?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Um...go on, give me 60 for him.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Oh, 60 quid - that's wonderful!
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Absolutely wonderful.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- He can be my new boyfriend.- Yeah!
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Yes! You've scored, Anita.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06She's got both her final items, and now everyone's all bought up.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10So it's time for both our auction aces
0:31:10 > 0:31:12to unveil their purchases.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15I'm quite excited to see what you've got.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17OK, let's have a look.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Right.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23James, an interesting lot, but when I look at these drawings here...
0:31:23 > 0:31:25I'm drawn to them!
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Well, have a look.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29They look wonderful.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- A Wyllie watercolour?- Yeah.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32They came from Wyllie's sketchbook.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Wow!
0:31:34 > 0:31:36You must have paid a lot of money for those, James.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- I got them for a very reasonable price.- How much?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- £50 the two.- £50?!
0:31:41 > 0:31:43- James!- For the two.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45For a Wyllie watercolour?
0:31:45 > 0:31:46She's impressed.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49That, I loved.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51- Because it's so early.- How much?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53What would you put on that?
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- 80 quid?- Yeah. 80, 120, I thought.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- Uh-huh?- Nine.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02You must have put on your very, very best smile.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03It was a really cheap lot.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Anita's turn now.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07I'm dying to show you my stuff!
0:32:07 > 0:32:11You know, James, we're on this wonderful south coast.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15I've got this marvellous holiday, frivolous feeling!
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Oh, my goodness!
0:32:17 > 0:32:19But wait!
0:32:20 > 0:32:22And it continues.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23No way!
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Oh, my goodness!
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Colourful, James!
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Holiday feeling!
0:32:32 > 0:32:34You've lost it completely!
0:32:34 > 0:32:35I think she has, you know.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36How much?
0:32:36 > 0:32:3928 for the wee horsey.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40- That's cheap.- That's not bad.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- 60 for the footballer.- Yeah.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- I paid 100 for him.- Did you?
0:32:44 > 0:32:46But I couldn't resist him!
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Anita, that's brave.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Or foolhardy.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52James, it has been the most wonderful,
0:32:52 > 0:32:55wonderful, wonderful, wonderful fun!
0:32:55 > 0:32:57I've enjoyed every minute. I really have.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Come on. Let's stroll into the sunset.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03You two are so sweet when you're face-to-face.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Wyllie is just absolutely marvellous
0:33:06 > 0:33:10on that type of marine drawing or watercolour or etching.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13So I think he'll do well on that.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16No great surprises, no great thrills,
0:33:16 > 0:33:18but good solid work.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21I think Anita's suffering from too much sun.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23What a mad lot!
0:33:23 > 0:33:26The little night-rider horse - see them all the time.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28The little dragon...
0:33:28 > 0:33:29£100?
0:33:31 > 0:33:32No.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33Don't mince your words, eh?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35On this final leg of the road trip,
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Anita and James began in Dorchester, Dorset,
0:33:39 > 0:33:42and they're now aiming for auction in grand old London town.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Today's auction is in Wandsworth,
0:33:45 > 0:33:47on the banks of old Father Thames,
0:33:47 > 0:33:51and not too far from the iconic edifice of Battersea Power Station,
0:33:51 > 0:33:55which they passed earlier on this trip.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58They're driving to Criterion Auctions.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Hang on! Something's different.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Have you changed your hair, Anita?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Oh, no! Silly me.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Unfortunately, James has been taken ill
0:34:11 > 0:34:13and won't be able to attend this auction.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16But fortunately, I've got a stand-in!
0:34:16 > 0:34:20He's a cracking guy! He looks a bit like James as well.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22He does a bit, actually.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Our new friend is a bull mastiff by the name of Nelson.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29But today, he'll be playing the part of James Lewis.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31At least Anita won't be lonely.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34You never know what's going to happen
0:34:34 > 0:34:36until the hammer falls.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39That's never been truer than today, Anita.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42They're arriving at the auction house. Look at that.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Here we are, darling. Here we are.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49OK, Jamesy, we've got stuff to sell.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Here we go, kid. Here we go.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Careful!
0:34:54 > 0:34:55C'mon, darling!
0:34:55 > 0:34:58There we are. Hold on a sec. Hold on a sec.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Wait a minute!
0:35:01 > 0:35:04He's keener than you are today, Anita!
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Today's auctioneer is Daniel Webster.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Before this highly irregular sale kicks off,
0:35:13 > 0:35:16what does he make of Anita and James's buys?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Good boy!
0:35:18 > 0:35:21A few sort of fun pieces in there, with Puck the magic dragon
0:35:21 > 0:35:23and the footballer,
0:35:23 > 0:35:26so that should provide a bit of entertainment.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28We've got a Wyllie painting in.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Wyllie sketch, rather.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Wyllie's always popular, so hopefully that should do OK.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Anita started this leg with £466.32.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40She spent £260 exactly,
0:35:40 > 0:35:42and has five lots in today's sale.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48While James began with £1,204.54.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52He spent £149 and also has five lots.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57The saleroom's looking a little sparse today,
0:35:57 > 0:36:00but will be accepting bids over the telephone and online.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02The sale's about to begin.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Sit!
0:36:05 > 0:36:06There's a good girl.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11First up is James's 18th-century shot flask.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12Will it go off with a bang?
0:36:12 > 0:36:15At £30. The money's with me at 30.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Surely worth more. At 30, and 5 now.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20At £35, are we all sure, then?
0:36:20 > 0:36:22At 35...
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- BANGS GAVEL - Yes!
0:36:25 > 0:36:27A tidy profit for James.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Who's a clever boy, then?
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Well done, darling! Well done.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Next, Anita's job lot
0:36:33 > 0:36:36of ivory purse and early 20th-century leather bag.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38At £30, are we sure?
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- 35.- 35, darling!
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- 40.- You're not interested in this one.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Of course he's not. It's more of a lady's lot, to be fair.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- £40, are we all sure?- For 40...
0:36:49 > 0:36:51BANGS GAVEL
0:36:51 > 0:36:55Anita's eye for vintage style sees her clear to a profit.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Now it's James's set of four Sheffield plated bottle coasters.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01We have 40 and 5.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03At 45, money's here.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07At 45...are we done and sure at 45?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- BANGS GAVEL - Well, that was short and sweet.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Indeed it was.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Another £10 profit to James,
0:37:14 > 0:37:17whose attention seems to be wandering.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19James! James.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Hey, are you listening? You made a profit.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Now it's Anita's job lot of toy soldiers.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Will they prove victorious?
0:37:27 > 0:37:30At £30, someone, surely? 30 is bid.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32And 5.
0:37:32 > 0:37:3340.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Come on, come on!
0:37:34 > 0:37:36And 5. 50.
0:37:36 > 0:37:3850!
0:37:38 > 0:37:405. 60.
0:37:40 > 0:37:425. 70.
0:37:42 > 0:37:4475, back in.
0:37:44 > 0:37:4580.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47£80!
0:37:47 > 0:37:49At 85.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Are you listening?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Going for 85...
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- BANGS GAVEL - Did you hear that?
0:37:56 > 0:37:57£85.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Ho ho ho!
0:37:59 > 0:38:02I think he's jealous of your profit, Anita.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Now it's James's Royal Signal engineer's toolbox.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09We have 35. 40 now.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12At £40, the money's with me. And 5. We're in the room.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16At £45 in the room. A neat thing at 45. Are we done?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19At 45...I'll sell, then, at 45.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21BANGS GAVEL
0:38:21 > 0:38:24That manages to carve out a little profit for James.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28See, you're getting all excited when it's your lots,
0:38:28 > 0:38:29and when it's my lots,
0:38:29 > 0:38:32you're lying down there and you don't give a damn!
0:38:32 > 0:38:34I mean, what is this? Don't you love me?
0:38:34 > 0:38:37I'm cheering on your lots.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38Certainly are.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Next it's Anita's 1970s footballer.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44With the thighs.
0:38:44 > 0:38:4650, if you like, surely. 50 is bid.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- 50 bid!- 55, 60.
0:38:49 > 0:38:5060 now.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52At £60 we're away.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55£60 and we're not away!
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Fair warning at 60...
0:38:58 > 0:39:00BANGS GAVEL
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Aw, £60! £60.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05It makes what she paid for it.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08But that's a loss after auction costs are deducted,
0:39:08 > 0:39:10so a bit of an own goal.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Let's hope Anita's next playful lot does better -
0:39:14 > 0:39:16the tin plate rocking horse.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Waiting for the horse, surely?
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Rock away for £20.
0:39:21 > 0:39:2220 is bid.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24You're the one that looks rocked, Anita.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27At £20, no money. Are we done?
0:39:27 > 0:39:29£20!
0:39:29 > 0:39:31- Selling at 20. - BANGS GAVEL
0:39:31 > 0:39:34It refuses at the first fence.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35What a pity.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38The bidders in this room today
0:39:38 > 0:39:41are not in a playful mood.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Now it's James's vases,
0:39:43 > 0:39:46commemorating an early Crufts championship.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49£50 for them? At 50. 30, if you like.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51At £30...
0:39:51 > 0:39:53NOW you're interested!
0:39:53 > 0:39:54Crufts!
0:39:54 > 0:39:56At £20 now.
0:39:56 > 0:39:5725, internet.
0:39:57 > 0:40:0030, we're in the room. £35, internet's money, then.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- £35. - BANGS GAVEL
0:40:03 > 0:40:07£35. That was a profit. That was a profit, darling.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09That was a profit.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Well done. Do you want a biscuit?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13You never offer me a biscuit.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Did you like that one? Did you get excited?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18I don't think he's that fussed, actually.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22Now, all Anita's hopes rest on her dragon.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26It was a bold buy, in an attempt to chase James.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27But will it pay off?
0:40:27 > 0:40:29And £40?
0:40:29 > 0:40:3120.

0:40:36 > 0:40:3710!
0:40:37 > 0:40:39At £10 now.

0:40:48 > 0:40:4910 quid!
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Well, that went up in flames, didn't it?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55That was tough to take. Tough to take.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Certainly on your own. Now, James's last lot of the day -
0:40:58 > 0:41:01his two William Wyllie pictures.
0:41:01 > 0:41:02100 is bid.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05He's doubled the money already.

0:41:25 > 0:41:26Well done, James.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Well done, darling. Well done.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33So a terrible pity that the real James had to miss his last auction,
0:41:33 > 0:41:36but he ends this road trip triumphant
0:41:36 > 0:41:38and swimming in lashes of lolly nevertheless.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40What a result, eh?
0:41:40 > 0:41:45Anita began this final leg with £466.32
0:41:45 > 0:41:48and after auction costs, she made an unfortunate loss
0:41:48 > 0:41:50of £83.70,
0:41:50 > 0:41:54leaving her with a total of £382.62.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Just lay off the dragons in future, Anita.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00But James has beaten all comers.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03He began this leg with £1,204.54.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07He made a smart profit of £105.20
0:42:07 > 0:42:10and ends the road trip high on the hog
0:42:10 > 0:42:14with £1,309.74.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Well, I'm doggone!
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Anita may be Cinderella
0:42:19 > 0:42:21to James's Rockefeller,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24but if there's one thing this trip's proven,
0:42:24 > 0:42:28it's that there's a lot of affection betwixt these two.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29Aww!
0:42:29 > 0:42:32# You're the lady, you're the lady... #
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Anita's shown she buys with her romantic heart.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Too exotic.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40# You're the fella, you're the fella... #
0:42:42 > 0:42:46While James has displayed his eagle eye for profit.
0:42:46 > 0:42:47Give him a wee clap!
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Yes!
0:42:52 > 0:42:53# I love you
0:42:53 > 0:42:55# I love you... #
0:42:55 > 0:42:59But they've supported each other through all the highs and lows.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01# I love you... #
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Bon voyage, you two.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07Don't forget to write, eh?
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Next time on the Antiques Road Trip,
0:43:12 > 0:43:17we have two new travelling treasure hunters - Mark Stacey and Will Axon.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21You're a naughty man, Mr Stacey! A naughty man.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Mark will be unveiling his new look.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25I don't think it's me, really, do you?
0:43:27 > 0:43:29And Will makes his road trip debut.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32It all seems a lot easier when you're watching it on the telly.
