I feel antiqued out. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
'So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?' | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
-BRAKES SCREECH Charlie! -Sorry about that. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |

Christina, I'm ready for Birkenhead. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
'Ha-ha! The chariot taking them into battle is this rather fetching 1969 Morris Minor.' | 0:01:20 | 0:01:26 | |
Yeah, let's get to a shop, Christina! | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
I'm mad for it. See, I'm mad for it. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
'Whoa! He's excited.' | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
'New girl Christina began this trip with a bang, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |

-You know, Manchester has so much to offer. -It does? | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
Its diverse culture - you've got hip, funky antiques shops | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
and you've got the traditional Victoriana. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
'Onward, chaps, to our first stop of the day.' | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
-CAR DOOR SLAMS -OK, I'll race you in. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
'Just like children. Mark you, Charles has some catching up to do.' | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
'The Levenshulme antiques village has 20 individual shops to explore, | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
'so happy hunting!' | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
Wow. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
-Must stay focused. Not here to shop. -'No, you're not, Christina.' | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
Ooh! | 0:03:13 | 0:03:14 | |
What do you think? Does suit me? | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
'Oh, smokin'! I'm happy to see she's not taking this competition sitting down.' | 0:03:18 | 0:03:24 | |
That's really nice. I like that. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
That's quite fun. It's a good, sturdy... good, sturdy thing. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:33 | |
'She's smitten. Ticket price, £25.' | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
'But is shop owner Sally willing to deal?' | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
Um, I saw this chair. It caught my eye. I really quite liked it. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
-Do you know anything about it? -I think it's an artist's chair, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
because it's got this little seat where you'd keep your paintbrushes. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
Is there any flexibility on the price? | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
I was thinking, at auction, it'll make maybe £15. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
And I need to make a profit against that pesky Charlie Hanson. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
-Righty-ho. -What's your thoughts? -Um, well,... | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
-I could do it for 15. -It's a deal. Thank you, Sally, you're a star! -Thank you! | 0:04:09 | 0:04:14 | |
'Christina's off the mark, but Charles needs help | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
'and puts in a sneaky call to the auctioneer.' | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
My great passion, James, is often buy big, buy monumental, buy furniture. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
And, um, I like buying it. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
Don't buy furniture? OK. Don't touch it. Thanks very much. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
See you in Birkenhead. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
'The auctioneer's top tip - don't buy furniture.' | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
'That's easy advice to follow, Charles.' | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
'Or maybe not.' | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
'And what's this?' | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
'Christina's also getting the inside scoop from the auction house.' | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
Silver, lots of silver. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
Charles has been on the phone. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
'Watch out, Charles. She's onto you' | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
-Have you got something to tell me? -No. No, about what? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
'Don't lie, Carlos.' | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
-Have you been making any phonecalls? -I may have phoned a friend. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
-No, I gave the auctioneer a call. -Oh, did you? -In Birkenhead. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
Were you going to tell me about this phonecall? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
This is... Well, you know, it's payback time, you know. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
I'm trying to get myself back in... | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
Charlie Hanson. Right, the gloves are off, baby! | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
'Feisty, eh? After buying furniture, Christina seeks something different | 0:05:28 | 0:05:33 | |
'and Barry's shop might be just the place.' | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
My goodness, there's a lot of stuff here. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
'Yeah, I'll say. Clever Christina's spotted some silverware.' | 0:05:41 | 0:05:46 | |
I'm trying to put together a lot of silver plate that will do well at the auction. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
And, um, I think Barry might be my man. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
'While Christina gathers her riches, Charles just can't tear himself away from furniture.' | 0:05:56 | 0:06:02 | |
MUSIC: "Just Leave Me Alone" by Michael Jackson | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
'No, no, no, Charles. Come on.' | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
Everything here is furniture. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
'Because it's a furniture shop(!) Just follow Christina's lead.' | 0:06:14 | 0:06:19 | |
'Sneaky boy.' | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
-Don't you dare... Keep... -Is it for sale? | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
Keep... | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
Go away! Go away! | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
No, this is... Barry's my mate now. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:30 | |
Yeah? How are you, mate? How are you, mate? | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
All falling apart very, very swiftly. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
Ladies first. I'm sorry, Barry. I'll let you do a deal with Christina. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
-Like the plate, by the way. -Get out! | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
'Barry's got them fighting over him, now.' | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
'Well, he is a man with some bright ideas.' | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
I'm thinking, that's quite cool at the moment, isn't it? | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
'Christina's interest has been sparked by a pair of enamelled industrial downlighters.' | 0:06:58 | 0:07:03 | |
'But can she get them for the right price?' | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
-So, they were marked up at... -50. -For the pair? -No. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
-Yeah. -That's each. -Oh, go on, Barry. -You can have them for 30 each. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
But we would sell them as a pair. I'd want to put them in as a pair. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
-Give me 50 quid the pair. -50 quid the pair. Go on, Barry. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
Thank you very much. I like those. Let's look at the silver plate. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
'Can he do her another deal with a silver lining?' | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
20 pound for that one. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
-20 for that one. -Oh, Barry! What? -Fiver each for those. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
-What's that one got on it? -Three pound. -Three pounds on it. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
I think the bowl is probably more saleable than the basket. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:51 | |
What about... | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
..20 for that? | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
'Ooh, he's happy with that. I think.' | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
-OK. -20 quid? -Yeah. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
-Thank you ever so much. -Thankin' you. -You're a star. Off I trot. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
There you go. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
'She's one happy customer, walking away with a job lot.' | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
'The silver-plated pedestal rose bowl, a pair of trumpet vases, | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
'nut dishes, | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
'and Barry's thrown in an early 20thC silver napkin ring.' | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
'All for £20.' | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
'Good going, Christina. Crikey.' | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
'Right, Charles! You're up.' | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
Look at the planes. Look at the flag. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
Look at the horns. I could be flying here. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Barry, is this all for sale outside here, as well? | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
-Yeah. -Everything. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
I quite like this man, down here. He's tired, he's a bit discoloured.. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
'He's a gnome, Charles.' | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
Where did he come from? Did your father make him, you say? | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
-Father-in-law made him, yeah. -Really? Back to what, the 1930s? | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
-No, probably '50s. -There's also one more down there, Barry, as well. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:59 | |
Another garden gnome. If I bought the two, what's your best price? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:04 | |
-£10 the pair. -£10 the pair. If I said a fiver for the two together? | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
-No. No, you've got to pay a tenner the pair. -Meet me halfway. Eight. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
-I'm not meeting anywhere. Tenner the pair. -Get out of here! | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
'I think Barry prefers Christina and I don't blame him.' | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
-If I bought the two, the best price between mates would be... -£10. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:25 | |
-Not a penny less? -Not a penny less. -Thanks, mate(!) | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
'Hm! Stalemate. And after some consultation,... | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
-Charles can see it now. -'..Charles buys one gnome for £5.' | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
OK, Chris. Yeah, I know. You and me now, mate. We'll ditch Christina. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
OK, Chris. Happy? Yeah. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
-We're off. See you later. -Thankin' you. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
'A talking gnome called Chris? I think he's losing it, that boy.' | 0:09:47 | 0:09:52 | |
'With that, he's off to his next shop.' | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
'Meanwhile, Christina's heading for a history lesson, by foot.' | 0:09:55 | 0:10:00 | |
'The Manchester Jewish museum is the only one of its kind outside London | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
'and can be found in a former synagogue.' | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
'The museum tells the story of Manchester's Jewish community.' | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
'Having been popular with traders since the 1740s, | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
'the city's cotton trade soon attracted Jewish entrepreneurs, | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
'who left a lasting legacy in Manchester and further afield.' | 0:10:21 | 0:10:26 | |
'Christina's come to hear all about it from curator Alexandra Grime.' | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
-This is beautiful. -It is. -It's breathtaking. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
-It was built in 1874, the building. -1874? -It was originally a synagogue, as you can probably tell. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:40 | |
-Yeah. -The community moved out in 1982 and it became this museum. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
'The synagogue would've been a place of worship for the Sephardi Jews | 0:10:44 | 0:10:49 | |
'and is built in the style of their Spanish and Portuguese ancestors.' | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
They've done some paint-scraping and found what the columns used to look like. | 0:10:55 | 0:11:00 | |
-Very ornate. You can see some of the gilding. -It would've been beautiful. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:05 | |
They did a stencil from that and recreated what it would've looked like on that column over there. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:11 | |
-Very glitzy, really. -Very glitzy and glam. -Very glitzy. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
'At the end of the 18th century, | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
'families from places like Corfu and Syria settled in the city.' | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
'As the population grew, they built up communities, places of worship | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
'and their businesses, particularly in the clothing industry | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
'and they went from strength to strength.' | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
One really interesting guy is called Benjamin Hyam. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
What he's doing is selling ready-made garments, proper suits, | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
people can afford the suits and it really catches on, | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
-these ready-made, rather than tailored items. -OK, gosh, wow. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
-So this is the start of the high street shop. -Absolutely. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
-By 1851, he opens a shop like this. -Is this his shop? -This is. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
Charles Dickens mentions this shop as does Benjamin Disraeli. They visit when they're in town. | 0:11:55 | 0:12:01 | |
I never would have had Disraeli as a man with a suit off the rack. Wow. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:06 | |
'In the decades preceding World War One, | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
'the population in Manchester increased, as Jews fled persecution' | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
'Fearing a backlash, the established community tried to Anglicise the new arrivals, | 0:12:14 | 0:12:20 | |
'opening schools to teach English and introducing them to some good old British staples.' | 0:12:20 | 0:12:26 | |
They had clubs aimed at organising their recreation, | 0:12:26 | 0:12:31 | |
-so they had brass bands and played cricket and things like that. -Brass bands! | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
-Good old Lancashire tradition. -I love it! | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
Which is why this item is fantastic. This is actually a washboard, | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
brought over in 1910. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
You can see it's very worn. That's because it was never used as a washboard. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
Leon actually used it as a cricket bat. I think it's such a great story | 0:12:49 | 0:12:54 | |
-He's come from Eastern Europe and made his washboard into a cricket bat. -Very resourceful. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
No better example of Anglicisation than that. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
-Thank you so much for having us. I've learnt an awful lot. -Thank you for coming. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:07 | |
'With only a gnome called Chris to his name, | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
'Charles hits the shops again.' | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
'This time, in Sale.' | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
'A thriving commuter town in Greater Manchester, | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
'Sale boasts the 250-year-old Bridgewater Canal.' | 0:13:20 | 0:13:25 | |
'At its peak, the canal carried more than three million tons of traffic, | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
'much of it fuelling the Industrial Revolution.' | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
'Today, it carries a lighter load, of ducks and leisure barges.' | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
I'm on a mission to outdo Christina. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
My strategy is to really play big and that's the way I am. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:48 | |
I'm just going to go for it. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
'With a strategy in place, Charles is pinning his hopes on the Manchester Antiques Company, | 0:13:51 | 0:13:56 | |
'and owner, John Long.' | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
-Hello. -How are you? | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
Good to see you. I'll go for a wander. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
Thanks, John. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
'This could spell disaster for Charles. He's in a room full of furniture, | 0:14:06 | 0:14:11 | |
'but can he resist?' | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
A tenner. I mean, this is a tenner and it's a lovely luggage stand. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:18 | |
It's Victorian and if it could talk, what could it tell you? | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
'Oh, really, Charles. There's no telling you, old fruit.' | 0:14:22 | 0:14:27 | |
The fact is I've been told in Birkenhead, in no uncertain terms, by James, the auctioneer, | 0:14:27 | 0:14:32 | |
"Don't buy furniture." | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
So, maybe you wave it goodbye. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
So long. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
'By Jove, I think he's got it at last.' | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
That's a very nice, unframed oil on canvas. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
-True. -A portrait of a gentleman with his telescope, | 0:14:46 | 0:14:52 | |
with a sailing vessel in the background. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
How much would that be, if I asked you a price? | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
-£75. -God. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
OK, I'll give it some thought. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
'With his nemesis Christina in the lead, Charles has a fight on his hands | 0:15:06 | 0:15:11 | |
'and spots the perfect piece to take into battle.' | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
Maybe if I turned up to reveal my wares, wearing this,... | 0:15:15 | 0:15:20 | |
..she might take note of me. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
'Oh, yeah? This replica 15thC suit of armour | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
'would have been made in the early 20thC | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
'for educational or theatrical purposes.' | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
'Crikey. Is Charles arming himself for war? He looks the part.' | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
Christina, I'm ready for Birkenhead. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
'Or perhaps pistols at dawn.' | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
This is the time of William the Fourth, it's George the Fourth. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
It's a duelling type pistol. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
And, um, it's 180 years old. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
And you can see that because this handle is just about to fall off. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:58 | |
But in a... Oops! It has fallen off, actually. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
-'Silly boy!' -Oh, dear me. That's just great, isn't it? | 0:16:00 | 0:16:05 | |
Might have to buy it now, regardless. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
It is pretty tired, but I like it as it's in its original condition. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
It would never... It could never be fired now and it's purely a relic. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:17 | |
And it could be cheap. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
And that's it, really. It could be cheap. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
-'He's gone -gun-ho -in this place, with three items in his sights.' | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
'The canvas, circa 1820, | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
'the coaching pistol and the armour | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |

'Can our Carlos cut a deal over the phone with our John... Wayne's son.' | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
Wayne, it's Charles Hanson. If you don't make an offer, you never know. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:44 | |
And I've got £167.20. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
There's no way you could do me a deal for all three, is there? | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
Wayne wants you. I'm hoping son and fatherly love can do me a deal. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:55 | |
-You better win, he said. -Huh? -You'd better win. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
-Is that a deal? -It's a deal, yeah. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
'It's victory for chancer Charles.' | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
-I've got 167 and 20 pence. -Yes. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
Could you leave me a pound? Make you 166.20? | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
I've got to go into Cheshire tomorrow with a pound. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
'Now, that's pushing it.' | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
I'll pay you my entire budget for a pound change. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
-OK. -Going... -Going... -Going. -Gone. -Sold! | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
Thanks, John. Come 'ere, John. Thanks, John! | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |

'But wait, there's more.' | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
-Crikey. These aren't part of the armour, John? -Yes. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
Are they part of the suit of armour? | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
-They are. -They came with the collection? | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
-They did, yes. -Really? Well, that's a bonus. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
As you say, en garde! | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |

-I had an amazing day yesterday. -Have you spent everything? -I barely slept. I was so excited. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:21 | |
Sun's shining. It's going to be a good day today. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
'Gosh, they're chipper this morning.' | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |

'an oil painting, | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |

-Bye. -Bye. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:36 | |
With Christina heading to the shops, Charles heads back in time, | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
'at nearby Tatton Park, a beautifully preserved mansion, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
'set within 1,000 acres of parkland' | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
'Perhaps its most intriguing former resident was the highly educated, | 0:19:50 | 0:19:55 | |
'very talented, some might say It girl of her generation, | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
'Elizabeth Egerton.' | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
-Good morning. How are you? -I'm fine, thank you. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
Good to see you. I'm hoping you might be Elizabeth. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
No, I'm Caroline Schofield, House and Collections Manager at Tatton. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
I'm here, not to learn about the house itself but more about a young lady called... Elizabeth? | 0:20:12 | 0:20:18 | |
-That's right. -And her husband, who was... -Wilbraham. -Tell me more. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
Elizabeth and Wilbraham lived at Tatton Park in the early 19thC, | 0:20:21 | 0:20:26 | |
and when they came here, the house was partly redeveloped. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:31 | |
Wilbraham had inherited it from his father William. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
So they completed the house as it is today. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
They really were an It and fashionable couple, | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
who were leading taste at Tatton in that late 18th century. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
Elizabeth was educated in London, | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
so she was very knowledgeable and cultured, | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
but the house they developed was very much a family home. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
They went on to have eight children together | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
and lived here very happily I think. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
She sounds quite a catch. What a great catch. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
'Elizabeth and her husband not only completed the house, | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
'but also furnished it in the latest style | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
'and built up the estate's impressive collection of literature' | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
Here's a little treat. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
-This is a first-edition copy of Pride And Prejudice,... -Oh, God. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
..which is signed Elizabeth Egerton | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
and, um, was bought for her to read, here at Tatton. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:29 | |
-And this is a first edition from the year... -1813. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
It is a pleasure to just see some of her writings. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
"Come Darcy" said he, "I must have you dance." | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
"I hate to see you standing about by yourself in this stupid manner. You had much better dance." | 0:21:40 | 0:21:46 | |
I like to dance. I like music as well. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
'First a reading and now he's after a dance.' | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
"Well, there's only one place for it, Charles." | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
So this is the music room. And here you've got a manuscript book. | 0:21:55 | 0:22:01 | |
Elizabeth kept... had a number of manuscript books bound, | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
where she has copied down music, | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
probably from pieces that friends may have had, | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
or that family members may have had. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
And they're sharing pieces of music between them, | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
and copying the notation down, so they can play the music themselves. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
So she's obviously quite an accomplished singer and pianoforte or keyboard player. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:29 | |
Seeing how this setting sits - this wonderful room with two big doors, | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
this is the music room and through there could've been an area | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 | |
where you could have a little dance. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
'Ha! Oh, do behave, Charles.' | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
So, if I go next door, you tickle the ivories, | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
and I'll have a little dance. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
'With Charles dancing the afternoon away with his Elizabeth, | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
'Christina's having a ball all of her own.' | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
'What fun.' | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
'Her first shop of the day is on the smallest street in Cheshire | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
'and is the aptly named Knutsford Antiques Centre.' | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
'With three floors to explore, can this jewellery expert find a hidden diamond in the rough?' | 0:23:09 | 0:23:15 | |
My daughter would love that. Decoy duck. Fantastic. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
'The duck may fall foul of her affections, | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
'but soon her cup runneth over.' | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
Oh, that's lovely. It's Charlie, look, Charlie dancing. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:33 | |
That's got to be Charlie, hasn't it? | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
'As well as Charles getting his groove on, | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
'this 19thC Staffordshire polychrome mug is decorated with couples dancing a jig.' | 0:23:39 | 0:23:45 | |
'Ticket price, £35.' | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
There's a little crack there which would be a bit of a concern. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
'A cracking piece indeed.' | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
It's never going to make me a fortune, but it's a great print. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
You can really sense that you're in the middle of the dance, | 0:23:59 | 0:24:03 | |
that enthusiasm and vibrance... | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
They're having a great time, aren't they? Proper shindig there. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:09 | |
I like that very much. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
'If you're buying that mug, best seek out manager Gordon.' | 0:24:12 | 0:24:17 | |
-These little chappies caught my eye. -Yeah. -I thought they were fun. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
-Now, Gordon,... -Yeah? -Bearing in mind it's cracked,... | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
'Oh, I see what she did there.' | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
What's your thoughts on...? It's marked up at £35. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:31 | |
'Here she goes.' | 0:24:31 | 0:24:32 | |
I need to be able to make a profit on it at auction | 0:24:32 | 0:24:36 | |
and at auction, I can see it fetching about 20 quid. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
-So what d'you want to pay for it? -10. -No way. No way, I'm sorry. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:46 | |
-'Don't take him for a mug.' -What's your absolute best price? | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
-About 30. -30? Can you come down any more? | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
-Perhaps 28. That's your limit. -Is absolutely that it? -Yeah. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
-What about 25? -I couldn't take that much off. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
-Go on. -Cash, then. -Cash? Oh, yes, of course. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
-All right, I'll do it for 25. -You're a legend. Thank you very much, sir. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
'She's good at this bargaining lark' | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
'Now, with four lots, she's catching up with Charles and hitting the road.' | 0:25:11 | 0:25:18 | |
'But this time, our delightful duo are heading to nearby Congleton.' | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
BOTH SING # Take your heart away | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
# And play the game together... # | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
'Don't give up the day jobs, you two.' | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |

-Bye. -Bye. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
'..to fend for himself, at the Victoria Mill Arts Centre.' | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
It's a really nice antiques centre. There's so much stuff here. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
But I've only got a pound. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
That's £3, but it's really awful. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:02 | |
Sounds better - 100 pence. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
It's not a pound. 100 pence. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
'Hm! What a cunning bit of PR, eh?' | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
'But will it be enough to convince store owner Geoff?' | 0:26:10 | 0:26:15 | |
-That's quite nice. -It is nice. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
It's garish. To some people, it's unsightly. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
But it catches the age, doesn't it? | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
'This stylish Art Deco vase is circa 1930.' | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
'Problem is, it's also circa £15.' | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
-That's 1,500 pence, isn't it? -That's £15. -£15. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
-To you, Charles, it's a tenner. -£10, yeah, well, we're close. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
No blemishes. No chips. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
It's 1,000 pence. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
And I love it. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
Somewhere in my pocket, I've got that. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
And that is my entire budget gone. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
But it's priced at £15 and all I have is that. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
One solid pound. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
And it's in good condition. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
Would you, sir, actually take one pound for it? | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
Normally, no, of course. But this is exceptional, so I will. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
You're happy for me to have that vase for a pound? Really? | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
It's a no-brainer. I'm going to flip you the pound, shake your hand. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
-Here's that pound, up it goes, that's yours. -Thank you. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
-That's mine. -Pleasure. -And I'm absolutely overjoyed. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:29 | |
'Thrilling, eh? It has "great deal" written all over it. But just to be sure,...' | 0:27:29 | 0:27:34 | |
I'm going to wander round the stalls, just find out what they think of my vase for a pound. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:40 | |
Just see how much of a bargain it really is. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
-How are you? -I'm fine, thank you. That's mine. -Is it? | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
-Do you like my vase, by the way? -I love it. -Do you really? | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
-Do you like my vase, by the way? -I do. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
-Why do you like it? -Just the Art Deco style. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
What's it worth at auction? | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
-40 quid, 45. -£40. Thanks, mate. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
-Maybe 40. -Did you hear that? £40. I can't go wrong. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
-£40? -Fantastic. You're my friend as well. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
£40 all day long. Thanks, mate. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |

'Careful, Christina. There's a brick in there.' | 0:28:47 | 0:28:50 | |
Hey, what's the brick? | 0:28:50 | 0:28:52 | |
Er, that's a... the Royal Wedding of Charles and Diana. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:56 | |
It's one of a run of bricks | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
that was used for a prison that they actually laid the foundations for. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:04 | |
A Royal Wedding prison brick! | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
-How much is on that? -Er, £22. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
I think that might be a little bit risky. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
'The brick's no building block for profit.' | 0:29:16 | 0:29:18 | |
'But can Christina see money in this early 20thC till?' | 0:29:18 | 0:29:22 | |
'Ticket price, £25.' | 0:29:22 | 0:29:24 | |
This is quite a sophisticated one. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:27 | |
The ones I've seen before haven't got a till roll with them. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:31 | |
You would've just had your cashier's drawer. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
And it's still got the workings in the top of it as well. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:37 | |
So I'm quite pleased. I think it's quite fun. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
-'She likes it!' -As it's my first road trip,... | 0:29:40 | 0:29:43 | |
'Can Richard resist her persuasive charms?' | 0:29:43 | 0:29:46 | |
-£25 sounds like an awful lot of money. -Does it? Oh. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:49 | |
Go on, what's your best price? | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
-20. -For a newbie? Any less? | 0:29:53 | 0:29:56 | |
-I'll do it for 15. -Will you? -Yeah. -£15. | 0:29:56 | 0:30:00 | |
-I quite like that. Go on, you've got yourself a deal. -Great. -Brilliant. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:05 | |
'Ker-ching! A deal at £15. for the pine till.' | 0:30:05 | 0:30:09 | |
'Right, Christina, are we off?' | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
I think I've fallen in love with a brick! | 0:30:12 | 0:30:15 | |
'You've done what?' | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
No, I can't buy a brick. That's stupid. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
Five pounds and it's yours. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:22 | |
A pound. I'll give you a pound for the brick. I'll do it for a pound. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:27 | |
It's such a risk. I'm going to lose money on it. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:30 | |
-Since it's your first series, go on, then. -Really? -I'll do a pound. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:33 | |
I can't believe I've just bought a brick! | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
'She's only gone and bought a brick' | 0:30:36 | 0:30:38 | |
Thanks very much. Oh, God. I'm never going to live this down. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:42 | |
'Let's hope she's laying some foundations for a decent profit with that purchase!' | 0:30:44 | 0:30:50 | |
'With everyone shopped out, Christina joins Charles in Congleton, | 0:30:50 | 0:30:54 | |
'to get a measure of the competition.' | 0:30:54 | 0:30:58 | |
So, first and foremost, Christina, I'm playing catch-up. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:01 | |
I might just catch you with this lot. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:04 | |
Oh! Ooh! | 0:31:04 | 0:31:07 | |
-What is that? -He's called Chris. -He's your mate Chris. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:11 | |
-He's my mate Chris, OK? -What's he holding? | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
I meant to put a couple of flowers in there for you but I forgot. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:18 | |
Over here is my great man, who is looking out to sea, | 0:31:18 | 0:31:22 | |
seeing the clipper ship and holding his telescope. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
He was in the shop for many years. I bought him for £40. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:29 | |
Well done. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:30 | |
Oh, my goodness! Oh, wow! | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
My friend here, Christofel, is ready for battle. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
He's awes... Oh, very jealous. He's awesome! | 0:31:36 | 0:31:40 | |
-Isn't he amazing? -And his sword and everything. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:43 | |
Finally, a real knight in shining armour. I want him! | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
OK, thanks. Did you hear that? | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
It's a replica sword, it's blunt, | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
and importantly, being a replica, it's part of the whole attire. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:57 | |
-It's an educational aid and they belonged together when they were made originally. -It's brilliant. | 0:31:57 | 0:32:02 | |
He's wonderful, isn't he? He cost me £116.20. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:07 | |
-Really? I'm nervous. -Well, I told you. I'm back. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:11 | |
'Charles has amassed a strong arsenal. Can Christina follow suit?' | 0:32:11 | 0:32:16 | |
Oh, my goodness. The auctioneer was very upbeat about silver plate. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:21 | |
You've got a lovely array of pierced, cast silver plate. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:26 | |
Yeah. And... | 0:32:26 | 0:32:28 | |
-Silver. -A napkin ring. Is it silver? -Yeah, it is. -Wow. That's heavy. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:33 | |
That's lovely quality. Look at me. I reckon that little lot cost you... | 0:32:33 | 0:32:38 | |
-..£32. -Hm. Well, 20. -Oh, that's cheap. That's really cheap. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:42 | |
-I thought, especially with that napkin ring. -Alone. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
-Now, you've bought a brick. -'That's what I said.' | 0:32:45 | 0:32:49 | |
-It's a very special brick. -OK, let me guess. Coronation Street? | 0:32:49 | 0:32:54 | |
No, it's a Royal Wedding 1981 - year I was born, very special year - | 0:32:54 | 0:32:59 | |
Charles and Diana, C and D, brick. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:01 | |
I would say that brick probably cost you... £20? | 0:33:01 | 0:33:04 | |
-Oh, close. -How much? -A pound. -Oh, it didn't? | 0:33:04 | 0:33:07 | |
-One pound? -And my pound lots do well. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:10 | |
-So I have high hopes for my brick. -You're good at the pound lots. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:14 | |
-My career is ended. I bought a brick. -Well done. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
-At the moment, Charlie, I'm bricking it. -Oh! | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
'Should she be so worried, Charles?' | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
'You're an old hand at this lark. Come on, be brave.' | 0:33:22 | 0:33:25 | |
Christina's bought some really steady items | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
and Christina is my steady Eddy. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:30 | |
I'm convinced, with her £1 brick and other items, she'll make profits | 0:33:30 | 0:33:34 | |
But I'm not in to just be steady. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:37 | |
I'm in to really impress Christina and go all out | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
or to say to Christina "At least I tried." | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
I'm surprised at how mediocre Charlie's stuff was. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:46 | |
I thought he'd go a bit whacky. And then... | 0:33:46 | 0:33:48 | |
he revealed his literally knight in shining armour, | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
which I think will absolutely annihilate me. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
He'll trip off into the sunset with a huge profit after that knight in shining armour. I'm very jealous. | 0:33:54 | 0:34:00 | |
If I were a gambling man, I'd say "Hanson, you're odds-on favourite | 0:34:00 | 0:34:05 | |
"to take the auction and take the mantle of being in the lead." | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
'Well, there's only one way to find out, | 0:34:08 | 0:34:11 | |
'so onwards and upwards to the auction in Birkenhead.' | 0:34:11 | 0:34:14 | |
If you saw me, dressed in the saleroom in that suit of armour, | 0:34:16 | 0:34:21 | |
what would you think that body is worth? | 0:34:21 | 0:34:24 | |
I would think it's got to be better than how you're dressed currently. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:28 | |
Oh, thanks(!) | 0:34:28 | 0:34:30 | |
'The town of Birkenhead runs along the bank of the river Mersey | 0:34:30 | 0:34:34 | |
'and has boasted a ferry service for over 800 years, | 0:34:34 | 0:34:37 | |
'when Benedictine monks would have gone back and forth to Liverpool, | 0:34:37 | 0:34:41 | |
'..rowing.' | 0:34:41 | 0:34:43 | |
-Good luck, partner. -Good luck. -Auction number two. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:46 | |
Auction number two. Let's go. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
'Our daring duo are going into battle in today's general sale at Kruger Gibbon.' | 0:34:48 | 0:34:54 | |
'They both got advice at the start, | 0:34:54 | 0:34:56 | |
'so what does auctioneer James Gibbon think now?' | 0:34:56 | 0:35:00 | |
'Have they bought good lots or not?' | 0:35:00 | 0:35:02 | |
'Look at his tash.' | 0:35:02 | 0:35:04 | |
I think the gnome has to be my favourite lot. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
It's silly and quirky. They're fun. And very British. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:12 | |
I think some of the things will fly and some of them are going to die. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:16 | |
But that's part of the game, that's the fun, | 0:35:16 | 0:35:19 | |
and let's face it, the buyers will decide today. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
'Christina started this leg in the lead with £203.50.' | 0:35:22 | 0:35:27 | |
'She splashed out £126 on five lots | 0:35:27 | 0:35:31 | |
'and still has £77.50 in cash.' | 0:35:31 | 0:35:34 | |
'Just like last time, Charles has spent his entire £172.20 budget | 0:35:35 | 0:35:40 | |
'and has come armed with five lots.' | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |
'Over to the first of today's two auctioneers - | 0:35:43 | 0:35:46 | |
'moustachioed James Gibbon.' | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
'Let battle commence!' | 0:35:48 | 0:35:50 | |
'First up is Christina, but will it be treasure or travesty?' | 0:35:52 | 0:35:56 | |
I'll start at 10. £10? 10 I have. | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
12 I have. 14. | 0:35:59 | 0:36:02 | |
-16. -My heart. | 0:36:02 | 0:36:04 | |
-16, new bidder at the back. -Come on! | 0:36:04 | 0:36:07 | |
-18. The lady's back in. -1,800 pence. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:10 | |
-20 by the door. -Good price. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:12 | |
She's back again. 22. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
-It's a rollercoaster. -'Ow!' | 0:36:17 | 0:36:20 | |
'More of a travesty, actually, as that £2 profit will be wiped out | 0:36:20 | 0:36:24 | |
'after auction-house costs.' | 0:36:24 | 0:36:26 | |
'Another one now for Christina, the 19thC Staffordshire mug.' | 0:36:27 | 0:36:32 | |
-'Can auctioneer Adrian Kruger help -jig -her into a profit? | 0:36:32 | 0:36:35 | |
Start me on this, please, at £15. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:38 | |
-Come on! -10 to start, thank you. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:40 | |
-You've got 1,000 pence. -12 I have. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:43 | |
14 I have. 16. 18. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:46 | |
-20. -Ooh! -22. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
20 I have. £20 it is. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:50 | |
Breaking even. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:52 | |
-Well done. -Darling, I paid £25 for it. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:55 | |
-Did you? I thought it was 20. -'Oh, do pay attention, Charles.' | 0:36:55 | 0:36:59 | |
'It's going downhill for our girl with her second loss of the day.' | 0:36:59 | 0:37:04 | |
'Can Charles do any better? He's certainly all fired up.' | 0:37:04 | 0:37:08 | |
-£10 I have. -Come on. -I have 12. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
14. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:12 | |
16. 18. 20. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:14 | |

-36. 38. -Buy history and you live the dream. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
-Do they realise the handle's falling off? -Shh! -44. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
-£44 I have. -Well done, Charles. Brilliant. | 0:37:25 | 0:37:29 | |
I'm selling at 44. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:31 | |
-Thank you very much. -How much did you give for it? -A tenner. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:35 | |
-Oh, well, very good. -Thanks, mate. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
'Even he's impressed. And with that, Charles is off!' | 0:37:39 | 0:37:42 | |
'Can trusted friend Chris do any better for him?' | 0:37:44 | 0:37:47 | |
Start me off at £10 on the gnome. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:49 | |
Tenner. Thank you. A lady with class and distinction. 12, thank you. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:54 | |
12. Are we going 14? 14. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
16. | 0:37:57 | 0:37:58 | |
18. 20. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
-They're all over each other. -Like a rash. -22. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:05 | |
24. 26. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
-Keep going, Chris. -28. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:10 | |
30. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:11 | |
32. £32. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:14 | |
I'm selling at 32. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:16 | |
-Sold to you, madam. -Well done, you. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:18 | |
-'£27 profit there, Charles. Now, that's -gnome -joke!' | 0:38:18 | 0:38:22 | |
'Back to Christina. She's trying to build up profits, brick by brick.' | 0:38:24 | 0:38:28 | |
Who'll start me on this one at £10? | 0:38:28 | 0:38:31 | |
-Come on. -Five to start, thank you. -I'll take it at five. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:35 | |
-Six I have. -How could you do that? -Seven I have. Eight pounds. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:39 | |
Nine pounds. 10. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:41 | |
-£11 I have. 12? -Deal. -£12 I have to the lady on my left. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:46 | |
All finished, then, at 12. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
'Who'd have guessed that, eh? Profit at last.' | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
'And from an old brick, no less.' | 0:38:51 | 0:38:53 | |
'Now for Charles's £1 offering - the Art Deco vase.' | 0:38:54 | 0:38:58 | |
Very, very stylish. Lovely piece. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:00 | |
-Why didn't they do this with my last piece? -I'll start the bid at £10. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:04 | |
£10 I have. 12 I have. 14 I have. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:06 | |
16. 16 I have with the gentleman in the middle. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:09 | |
16 I have. Do I see 18? 18 I have. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:12 | |
-20? 20. It's selling at 20. -Man! -22 I have. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:17 | |
All finished, then, at £22. | 0:39:18 | 0:39:21 | |
'I say, Charles, that's a flowery profit.' | 0:39:22 | 0:39:25 | |
'Christina's combined her swivel chair and pine till, | 0:39:26 | 0:39:30 | |
'hoping it'll make her a pretty packet.' | 0:39:30 | 0:39:33 | |
And I'm straight in with a commission bid at £30. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:37 | |
-Yes! -You've done it. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:40 | |
-32. -Yeah! -I'm going to go 34. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:43 | |
36 I'm at. It's in the room at £36. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:46 | |
I'm selling at 36. Are we all done? | 0:39:47 | 0:39:50 | |
36, ladies and gentlemen. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:52 | |
'So close, but her profit will again be eaten up by costs.' | 0:39:52 | 0:39:56 | |
'Can Charles do any better with his maritime canvas? Anchors aweigh!' | 0:39:59 | 0:40:03 | |
A lot of interest in this on commission. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:06 | |
'Commission bids, eh? This could get interesting.' | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
I can go 30, 35, 40, 50, 60... | 0:40:09 | 0:40:13 | |
-Here we go. -70, 80,... -Hanson, you're rolling. -90, 100,... | 0:40:13 | 0:40:18 | |
-'I say, it's flying.' -140. £160 I have. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:22 | |
-Oh, Hanson! -£160 I have. -Oh, my God. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:25 | |
Are we all gone at £160? | 0:40:25 | 0:40:28 | |
Looks like we are. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
£120 profit. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:33 | |
-I'm just going to go home now. -Put it there. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:36 | |
'So childish. So that's plain sailing into hefty profits, Charles' | 0:40:38 | 0:40:41 | |
'Full steam ahead, old boy.' | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
'Christina's got one lot left.' | 0:40:45 | 0:40:47 | |
'But can they light up her life?' | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
-I have commission bids on these. -Oh! | 0:40:50 | 0:40:52 | |
I can start them with me at 50, 52, 55, 60. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:56 | |
-65, 70, 75, 80... -Well done. | 0:40:57 | 0:41:01 | |
85, £90 I have on commission. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:04 | |
Brilliant. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:06 | |
£90 I have on commission. All done at £95 on commission? | 0:41:06 | 0:41:10 | |
-Ah, thank you, darling. -No, well done. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:14 | |
'It's good, but with Charles already in the lead and with one lot to go, | 0:41:14 | 0:41:18 | |
'looks like she's lost this battle.' | 0:41:18 | 0:41:20 | |
'So, is Charles charging towards victory? | 0:41:20 | 0:41:25 | |
