0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts,
0:00:05 > 0:00:10with £200 each, a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Going, going...gone.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:17 > 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 try and win.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:30- Sun shines on the brave, doesn't it?- Exactly.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40It's the final leg of our voyage around the West Country.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Sailing along in a 1980 Lancia Spider are Tom Scott
0:00:44 > 0:00:46and Phil Serrell.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49What do you think to our little fiery red Italian then?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52It's been... I was going to say super-reliable
0:00:52 > 0:00:54but we've got a little red light on again.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Oh, dear.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59New kid on the Road Trip block Tom Scott played a blinder with a
0:00:59 > 0:01:03French picture frame but ran aground with a quirky canoe purchase.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05I probably won't buy another one for quite a long time.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Veteran Road-Tripper Phil Serrell has had calmer waters this week.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Well done, mate.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13But it's not been all plain sailing.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I think that's just an absolute hoot, really, don't you?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Continuing their trip around the naval heart of England,
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Phil's got an idea to keep the competition at full steam ahead.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Why don't we see who can spend the most on our last buying leg?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Spend big.- And the person who doesn't spend big,
0:01:29 > 0:01:30buys the other one dinner.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Game on.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Anchors aweigh, chaps.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Captain Phil began with £200, storming into the lead,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41winning three out of four legs
0:01:41 > 0:01:44on this trip and now has £343.60.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Tom the cabin boy also began with £200,
0:01:47 > 0:01:52but is trailing in Phil's wake with only £243.80.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Can he get things ship-shape?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I'm about £100 ahead and it sounds a lot of money
0:01:57 > 0:01:58but actually it ain't, is it?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00No.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04You could find another picture frame and I could find myself kippered.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Our road trip begins at the far south-west corner of Britain,
0:02:07 > 0:02:12at St Buryan, before wending its way around several counties,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15staying near the coast, to reach Wareham in Dorset.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Today, we're starting out in the port of Southampton in Hampshire,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21heading east then eventually returning westward to
0:02:21 > 0:02:23an auction in Wareham in Dorset.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Known as the cruise capital of Europe,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Southampton has a bustling harbour.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35There are also extensive remains of the city walls,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38dating as far back as the 12th century.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Notably, the town was the departure point for the RMS Titanic
0:02:42 > 0:02:44on her ill-fated maiden voyage.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Has Tom's first journey on the Road Trip fared any better?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52This has been a real epic voyage we've been on. It's been brilliant.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54I've loved it. I've loved it.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56And I have to say, you've done really, really well.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Ow, bless. It's nice to hear our boys bonding up.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Time for some shopping though, I think.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Come on.- Where are you going?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- I'm going this way. - Nice shops down here.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Go and spend some.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Get bold. See you later.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- Hello.- Hello.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15- You must be Don.- Yes, I'm Don.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Don, I'm Philip, how are you?
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Nice to meet you, Philip.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Welcome. Welcome to Cobwebs.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24There's a bit of a nautical flavour going on here...
0:03:24 > 0:03:26This should appeal to Phil because,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29although he's very much a landlubber,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32he does have a soft spot for seafaring stuff -
0:03:32 > 0:03:36he even doubled his money on a salty lot at the start of this road trip.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Look at that!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41When I looked through the window,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43you've got a parallel ruler in there.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Is it an old one or a new one?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47It has a little bit of age to it.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I've got a little bit of age but I'm not worth much, Don.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51No.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54This parallel ruler, for drawing lines on charts,
0:03:54 > 0:03:58was actually invented as long ago as 1584.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01You had your drawing board here and that gave you...
0:04:01 > 0:04:03That's really cool, isn't it?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05It is. That's why they're angled like this,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07so they match up with meridians of longitude.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Don't start getting too technical, Don,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11you're dealing with a country boy here.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Sorry, guv!
0:04:13 > 0:04:16The ticket price on this navigator's tool is £58.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I think, at auction, that's going to make £30-£50, something like that.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Can we put that on the counter as a possibility?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- OK.- If we can build up a little pile.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Cor, Phil and Don are getting on famously.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Tom, meanwhile, is floundering - 3-1 on his first road trip,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34but could he turn his luck around here?
0:04:34 > 0:04:35I'm James.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Do you mind if I have a bit of a rummage around and point me
0:04:38 > 0:04:40in the right direction?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42James certainly has plenty to choose from,
0:04:42 > 0:04:47but despite his little wager with Phil, Tom's just not steaming ahead.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52James, in amongst this lot, what I'm trying to find are some safe,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54steady, general auction lots.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56What do you want me to say to that?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I don't know really.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02The trouble is, I've come in and I don't know what I want to buy.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Quite a nice piece, that one.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- That's quite an acquired taste, though, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Seems to be a bit of buyer's block here.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Price seems to be a bit of an issue too.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Is this a complete set, James?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Have you got the 24?
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Yes, I believe so, yeah.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21What have you got on your encyclopaedias?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23200, the lot.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- 200?- Yeah.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Oh, lordy. Back at Cobwebs, it's all hands on deck.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I like that.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Is that a fid? - No, that's a marlin spike.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Oh, for rope-making.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40I think Phil's got a point because a fid does do a very similar job.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Plus, it's traditionally made from wood or bone.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47If you can imagine the rope is like that, you put it in like that
0:05:47 > 0:05:48and it just opened it up.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51That's what it did. And this is made out of Lignum Vitae, isn't it?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Lignum Vitae, yes.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- It's a wood that doesn't float. - That's quite true.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59It's rock hard and they use this to make marine gears out of, don't they?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01That's quite true. And the clocks.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Yeah.- Clocks and tackle.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05The ticket price on this is £45.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Well, that might be another possibility.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I can sense a bit of a marine theme coming here.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Can we put that on the counter?- Yes.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Storming ahead! Can Tom match Phil's rate of knots in the buying stakes?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I'm completely flummoxed,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22confused and I've no idea which way to turn, to be honest.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Well, we'll take that as a no, then.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28James takes pity on Tom and lets him have a look in his storeroom too.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Welcome to Aladdin's cave.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Brilliant. Thank you very much.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Might anything in here suit?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I quite like those.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Yeah.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Go on, Tom, splash out. Who knows, it might be just Wareham's thing.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I do quite like some of the bits and pieces, James,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- but I think they're just going to be too pricey for me.- Yeah, right.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I like your local artist pieces, but again, I think, for me,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I'm going to struggle to turn them in the auction really.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57I think it might be time to head on.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Heavens.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Phil's still working on his maritime lot, I see.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06What's the White Star Line crew muster card?
0:07:06 > 0:07:07What would that be for?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10This would be handed in so that they
0:07:10 > 0:07:13could work out the victuals required.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- The food?- The food.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17So, R Kennedy, this would have
0:07:17 > 0:07:20been his rations card almost, wouldn't it?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22More or less, yes.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24And how much would that be?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26It's free, look, there's no price on it.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28There is, it's written there - 23.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32White Star were one of the first British shipping companies to offer
0:07:32 > 0:07:36inexpensive third-class passengers trips across the Atlantic.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39They were also responsible for the doomed RMS Titanic,
0:07:39 > 0:07:43which departed from the docks just down the road on Southampton Water.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I'd like to buy the three bits for between 50 and 60 quid.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48That's what I'd like to do.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- OK.- What's the best you can do on it then?
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Well, I'll say 60.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I'm going to shake your hand on that.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55I like that, I really do.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59I like that's a lot and I think we've got a nice nautical flavour,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- isn't it?- Yes.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Calm waters there then. - Cheers now. Bye-bye.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- Thank you. - CAR HORN HONKS
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Oh, lordy. - CAR HORN HONKS
0:08:08 > 0:08:09- What?- Come on.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Settle down, Tom.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- I've come to pick you up.- What? - Well, I didn't want you to get wet.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- What's the matter? - My plan's changed a bit, Phil.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19You should be out spending all that money, what you doing here?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21I tried but I failed, miserably.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- I haven't spent a penny yet. - Probably your age, dear.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25It's time to leave Southampton.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28We're heading east to Fareham for Phil's next shop.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Tom's off, but Phil's about to doorstep his next dealer.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Hi, how are you?- Hello.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Good to see you.- Hello.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44They tell me you trade in antiques.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46We do. We do. We deal online but...
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- I've come to buy off you. - Hello.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Where are we going?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Come round here a sec.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Hello, this different.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Here we go.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59And there it is - Aladdin's cave.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I wonder what treasures might lie in here.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Can I have a look round? - Help yourself.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05"Help yourself," I like the sound of that.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Antiques Of Fareham mainly trades at fairs,
0:09:07 > 0:09:11but Julia has especially opened up her stock room to Phil.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Will he unearth some secrets?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Mm. The pressure's on.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Have you got any hidden goodies that aren't out that
0:09:19 > 0:09:20I should be looking at?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Um...- Any hidden gems of gold or silver or...?
0:09:23 > 0:09:24No, not gold.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Silver?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I quite like this decanter.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28It's a smart one, isn't it?
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Yeah. Mappin & Webb decanter,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35dated London 1914.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37This year, isn't an antique,
0:09:37 > 0:09:38but next year it will be.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Yeah.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42If you want to be really picky, cos the definition of antique is
0:09:42 > 0:09:45supposed to be when something's 100 years old.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46That's Birmingham silver hallmark.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49That's just quite a nice little thing actually,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51but I think the top's been ground down.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54That might be a possibility actually.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Mm, £58 on that one.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Phil's just not sure,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01he's still hoping there may be hidden treasures.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I've never been shopping in a garage before.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Me neither, but he has picked up bargains in a pub
0:10:06 > 0:10:09and a garden centre this trip, so who knows?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12That's a chunky bit of silver, isn't it? Can I have a look at that, please?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15The price on this is a hefty £85.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Never mind the quality, feel the width.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20This is from Southampton Golf Club.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- Good quality, that. - Yeah.- Let's go round the bend.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Erm...
0:10:27 > 0:10:31I'd like to try and buy them, somewhere between 60 and 70 quid.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34What's the best you can do?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- We paid a bit more than that. - Did you?- Yeah.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Go on, then.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- I can do that for 30.- Yeah.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- 50.- That's 80.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- 80.- Erm...- 75.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47I was going to ask you for 60.
0:10:48 > 0:10:5070.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Go on, 65 and I'll have them.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Yes, go on.- Honestly? - Yes, go on.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57You're an angel. Thank you very much indeed.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02The silver fox worked his magic on Julia there, which was quite a deal.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Good luck to you.- Steady on with all that kissing, Phil.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09That's the best garage sale I've seen in a while.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Meanwhile, Tom is motoring south,
0:11:11 > 0:11:15making his way to Gosport on the very edge of Fareham Lake.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Keen amateur diver Tom is off to the town's diving museum.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Gosport has a proud naval history
0:11:24 > 0:11:28and was home to the co-inventor of the diving helmet.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Ex-navy diver John shows him round.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Afternoon, Tom. Nice to see you.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Nice to meet you. How you doing?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Welcome to the historic Diving Museum.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40The museum has only been open since April 2011
0:11:40 > 0:11:44and boasts a fine collection of early diving helmets and suits.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47These 19th-century suits were attached to diving ships
0:11:47 > 0:11:51by huge cables and weighed almost as much as the person wearing them.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Do you want to try this thing?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- I would love to. - OK. If we can get it on.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Can we pick it up?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Lift it up. - I'll get under it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Ooh, it's snug in here, isn't it?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07It's a snug fit. It sounds very strange as well.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Very limited visibility. - It is a bit, isn't it?
0:12:09 > 0:12:13You had to turn your whole body to turn the...
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- You do, don't you?- Yeah.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I'm fogging up a little bit.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Diving technology progressed rapidly with the advent of World War II,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26when the suits needed to be mobile
0:12:26 > 0:12:30and no longer connected to diving ships.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32This is the Sladen Suit
0:12:32 > 0:12:33and the diver was invited to
0:12:33 > 0:12:37get in through this skirt here.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40The helmet was actually attached to the suit,
0:12:40 > 0:12:45so when you got inside it you folded this up, concertina-wise.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46OK.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Put a big clamp round it.- Yeah.
0:12:48 > 0:12:54Wound it up and those straps came across there and sealed it in.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57The developing oil industry drove changes in technology -
0:12:57 > 0:13:00greater depths and pressures dramatically increased
0:13:00 > 0:13:03the risk of decompression sickness.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Potentially, fatal bubbles of gas can be released inside the body
0:13:07 > 0:13:10if the diver rises too quickly to the surface.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13If people do get decompression sickness, how do you cope with that?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17What we have here is a one-man decompression chamber.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- So they get slotted in? - Slotted in.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23And they really do get slotted in because, as you can see...
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- There's not a lot of room.- ..there's not a lot of room in there.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Oh, Tom, I can see where this is going, mate.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Would you like to try?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I've got to.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Right.- Get yourself on the stretcher.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36There's not a lot of room down there, is there?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Is my nose going to fit in there?
0:13:40 > 0:13:41There you go.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- Comfortable?- Not really.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Tom's only been in there for a few seconds
0:13:46 > 0:13:51but a diver with the bends could spend up to three days confined.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53That's Tom un-bended.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- I do feel better. - Gosport was also home to the
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Royal Navy's Physiological Experimentation Laboratory,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03and the museum has an extensive collection of diving bells
0:14:03 > 0:14:05and compression chambers.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07These were used during trials to research
0:14:07 > 0:14:10the effects of being submerged.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12This one even holds a world record.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15In this actual chamber we had a simulated dive,
0:14:15 > 0:14:21one of members did it, down to 1,535 feet.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- That is deep.- That is plenty.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25This is palatial compared to the last one I was in.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Absolutely. Get in there, have a feel.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28I'm going to climb in.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33And I'm more than happy to close the door on you, Tom.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Go on, then, shut me in.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39It's all right in here, John.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42That's it, Tom, you're locked in. See you later. Bye.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Hang on, John.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45John?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47What you doing?
0:14:47 > 0:14:51He-he! Back in Fareham, Phil's still waiting for his lift back.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Could be a long night though, Phil.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54John?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Let me out, John.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58John!
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Oh, dear! Night-night, boys.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Next morning, Tom has been let out and is back on driving duty,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10heading for Portsmouth.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Portsmouth's lovely, isn't it? Is it Portsmouth or Southsea?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- They merge in to one. - They merge, yeah.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Southsea's kind of on a little tail-end, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20We could do with a bit more sun...
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Not more, we could do with sun.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Never mind, Phil, things are sunnier on the antiques front.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Yesterday, Phil stormed ahead and spent £125 on two lots -
0:15:29 > 0:15:32a collection of nautical memorabilia
0:15:32 > 0:15:37and a silver-mounted crystal decanter and golfing trophy,
0:15:37 > 0:15:42leaving him with an impressive £218.60 to spend today.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46However, novice Tom was on the rocks and spent nothing at all,
0:15:46 > 0:15:51absolutely nowt, meaning he has £243.80 to try
0:15:51 > 0:15:53and pull himself up from the depths.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Can he rise to the challenge?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Later, they'll navigate their way back to Dorset for the auction
0:15:59 > 0:16:02in Wareham, but our first stop is Portsmouth and Southsea.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06There's Portsmouth Pier, or is that Southsea Pier?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- That's Portsmouth Pier. - Is it? How do you know that, then?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- It says it on the front of it. - That would be a clue!
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It is confusing, chaps.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Southsea is only a mile from the city centre of Portsmouth itself
0:16:19 > 0:16:23and is home to both the pier and this fine castle.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27But no time for paddling - there's shopping to be done.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- This is it, Phil, time for shopping.- Yeah.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I'm quite emotional, Tom, this is our last day.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- I know, it's crazy, isn't it? - Our last trip.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- Well, here we go. - I'm that way.- I'm this way.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Good luck, matey. - Talk to you later.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Oh, I think I might cry.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Tom's first shop, and the pressure is really on.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Go, kid! - This looks perfect.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50I can spend some cash in here.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53After my performance yesterday I need two or three lots,
0:16:53 > 0:16:55so wish me luck.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Parmiter Antiques is a family-run business that's been trading
0:16:58 > 0:17:00here for 25 years
0:17:00 > 0:17:03and owner Ian is a well-known figure in the local trade.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- Morning.- Hello, Tom.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- How you doing?- Welcome to Southsea.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- What a brilliant shop. - Plenty to look at.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Yeah, I'm going to have a quick rummage and I'll give you a shout.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15That's it. I hope you find something.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19So do I. Empty handed so far, Tom needs to get a bite.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I'm strangely drawn to the fish and chips sign.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Finally, he spies something.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Nice old yardstick.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Bit of brass at the end. That's quite nice.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33It's in quite good condition as well.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35That's nice. I like that.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Could this lot measure up for you, Tom?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39That can be 25.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I like that, that's really nice.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Lovely bit of treeing, isn't it as well?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- How much better could that be?- £20.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Could it be 15?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Go on, then.- Gets us started. - All right, Tom.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Brilliant. Thank you.- Finally!
0:17:53 > 0:17:56It might only be 36 inches of wood, but it's a start.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Phil's first port of call is Antiques Storehouse
0:18:01 > 0:18:05in part of the world-famous Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Good morning.- Andrew, Philip. How are you?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- You've got some stuff in here, haven't you?- Yeah.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Owner Andrew specialises in militaria,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19but will Phil find anything right for a general sale?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Can you point me in the direction of something you think I ought to look at?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- I'm from Worcester, I can't buy pots. - Ceramics, mostly over there.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29There's some Worcester Blush Ivory and some Doulton...
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Should I have a wheeze round...? - Have a wander round.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34There are thousands of objects to see,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37but will Phil be tempted to blow his cash on something unusual?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Doing daft and wacky is all very well...
0:18:41 > 0:18:44but you can end up getting burned.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46And I know Worcester porcelain.
0:18:46 > 0:18:52There's a shot silk jug at £245 and there's a blushed ivy pot at £225.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Well, if you can get a bit of change out the price,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- we might be all right with that. - Worcester, eh?
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Phil's an expert in Worcester, so, dealer, beware.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Do you know? I can see Tom Scott on the horizon.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06He's sinking, he's sinking fast.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09That'd be wishful thinking, that.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Phil doesn't want to scupper his own chances
0:19:11 > 0:19:13and heads back to what he knows.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17So a mark on the bottom, has it?
0:19:17 > 0:19:21And that was made in...about 1902.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Spot on - 1902.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Oh, right. There you are, then. What will you do?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29See those little dots there? They started putting the dots on them and
0:19:29 > 0:19:34they started in 1891 and there's 11 dots there and 11 and 1891 is 1902.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35So it's not rocket science.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37That is blushed ivory.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40This is gilded ivory and this is decorated in shot silk flower,
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- but you know all of that.- Oh, mostly. - The 1227 on the bottom is a shape number,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47and if you look in the Worcester pattern book it'll say bulbous
0:19:47 > 0:19:50bodied or something like that.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- A bit like me. - I'm very bulbous bodied, mate.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Actually, that's a much better piece but it's nowhere near as commercial.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- That's probably little bit more commercial.- Yeah.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Come on, Phil, engines on full power, it's time to deal.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05So we've got the blushed ivory vase.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- Yeah.- What would the absolute best on that be?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Well, it cost me 140 - 141 just so I make a profit.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16And the gilded ivory, what would be the very best on that?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18165 on that.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- Can I give you 140 for that?- OK.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I tell you what, I'll buy it off you, shake your hand,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27but I think I might lose money on that.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Then why did you buy it, you silly boy?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32But it has got him a lot closer to winning the side bet
0:20:32 > 0:20:34and dinner from Tom.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I wonder if the youngster is still on course.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39What about the deal of the century?
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- What's that?- Staffordshire figures.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- £100 for the lot.- For the lot?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49That's got to be worth putting in auction.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Ooh, I'm not so sure about that.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Staffordshire has fallen out of favour of late,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56this could be risky, but there's a lot of them.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Romeo and Ruliet - that's not old.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00There's some good ones amongst it.
0:21:00 > 0:21:0315. £15-£100.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07That's a possibility. They could all go in one big lot, couldn't they?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09What about something like 60 quid?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- 80?- Meet in the middle? 70?
0:21:12 > 0:21:13- Go on, then.- Perfect.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- You'll do well with those. - Deal. I think that'll be good.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Phew! Two lots in quick succession.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20After buying nothing at all yesterday,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Tom seems to be in the swing of things now.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Can he make it three in a row?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28They're nice and heavy, aren't they?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30They'd just make nice little wall lights, wouldn't they?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- They're £40 the pair. - Quality though, aren't they?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- So where are we? 85 quid, aren't we? - Yeah.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Can we do 100 quid for the lot?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40105 you've got a deal.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I'll take that. Brilliant. Thank you.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Giving you a chance.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46That's brilliant. Appreciate it all. Thank you very much.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Well done, Tom, that's three good lots there.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Is he finally ploughing a true course or will Phil set him adrift?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Here he is. How are you? You don't hang about, do you?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- I though it would be a good idea if we swapped shops.- Let's do that.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Spent all your money?- Not all. - I'm going to spend all mine. - All right, mate. See you in a bit.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Phil has just £78.60 left in the coffers.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10He's got an eye on that free dinner, you know.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Hello, how are you? - I'm very well, Phil.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- We met years ago, didn't we? - Yeah, we did.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- You've got some good things in here. - Yeah, loads of old junk.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19I love old junk.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23I tell you what I seen straight away that I love - the light.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Yeah, it's cool, isn't it?
0:22:24 > 0:22:25How much are those?
0:22:25 > 0:22:26300.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27That's me gone.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Now that would be pushing the boat out.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Steady as she blows now!
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Let me just have a whizz round
0:22:34 > 0:22:38and I'm going to make instantaneous purchase here.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Oh, lordy. Brace yourselves for what Phil might buy in this cornucopia.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I think I'm know what I'm going to buy and this is utter lunacy,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47but these things are so cool.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50That's a real trendy thing. I think that's wicked.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Has that always been on there like that?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54No, I don't think so.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56It's what they do, they make them up.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Can you see this came from an art gallery?
0:22:58 > 0:22:59How much is that one.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- 100 quid.- There is a problem with the price, right?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Yeah, I thought there might be. - This is all I've got.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- How much you got? - 78 and 60 pence.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Give me the 75.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Yeah.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13And keep that for your lunch.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17I've got to buy something else then for £3.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19What else have you got for £3.60?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I'll give you a bargain of the century.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Another one?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29What's that then?
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Open it up.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Oh, blimey. I think we're in business here.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Box of goodies.- Box with contents. - I'll not even look - £3.60.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39You're a gentleman and a scholar. What a good chap.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Thank you.- Good luck.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Thanks for that.
0:23:42 > 0:23:48Well, that would be fastest £78.60 spent in Road Trip history.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Well done, Phil,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52who knows what little treasures that box might hold, Pandora.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Back at the Storehouse,
0:23:55 > 0:24:00it's Tom's turn to see what he can unearth in Andrew's vast emporium.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Afternoon. I'm Tom. How you doing?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- Do you mind if I have a dig around?- Go on help yourself. It'll take you an hour or so, but...
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- I'll start this way.- Get your trainers on.- I'll wind round. See you in a bit.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15And with £138.80 still to spend, he's off.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18There's a bit more Staffordshire here.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I hope my pieces get up to this price.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22There's loads and loads and loads of stuff.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24This could take a while.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28What we got here?
0:24:28 > 0:24:30These are quite cool, aren't they?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33These are big old beauties.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36It's not such a nice colour now you can see it all.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37They're possible though.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Quite like those. Might come back to these.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Oh-oh!
0:24:47 > 0:24:51This is Tom's last chance to take the wind out of Phil's sails,
0:24:51 > 0:24:55and he's starting to flounder.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57They're worth a look.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05No matter where you look, there's another 500 things to see.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10Come on, Tom, don't sink on the last lap, you can do it.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15Let's have another look at those two shades.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17These could be a really bad idea.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19It's quite an acquired taste, that, isn't it?
0:25:19 > 0:25:24£90 each is going to be way too high, they need to be £90 a pair.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I'll go and see what he thinks of that.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I need to test the water, see where we are price-wise.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31How are you fixed?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33I can do a little bit of haggling.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37If I was going to make you a bid on them, I'm kind of thinking £80 for the pair.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39For the pair. I couldn't do it.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42They would have cost me more than that in the first place.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44OK. I'll keep digging about.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47This is just really difficult.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I have no idea what to buy at all.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Oh, dear, it's looking like dinner might be on Tom.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Is it time to signal for help?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Just bought a little Morse key, World War II.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Cost me a tenner, you can have it for £15.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02I might need to. I like that. It's cool, isn't it?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04There you go.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08So I'm still thinking about those lampshades.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11I tell you what, to stop me tripping over them, I'll do them 110.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Really?- If that helps.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- So you're looking at 110? - Yeah.- 120 with this?
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Easy come, easy go - OK. Done.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Deal.- OK.- Thank you very much.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26That's me spent up in a big way.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I've got a few pennies left so that should get me
0:26:28 > 0:26:29a free dinner from Phil at least.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Oh, dear.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Will you tell him or shall I?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Phil's finally getting behind the wheel and he's off to see one
0:26:36 > 0:26:40of Portsmouth's oldest residents in a brand-new home.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44The newly-opened £35 million pound Mary Rose Museum is
0:26:44 > 0:26:46the latest addition to the
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Portsmouth Historic Dockyard complex.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53The 16th-centruy flagship sank on the 19th of July 1545,
0:26:53 > 0:26:54during a battle with the French.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58After returning from the depths over 30 years ago,
0:26:58 > 0:27:02she finally has a state-of-the-art home, where she'll be on open
0:27:02 > 0:27:06display while continuing to be preserved for future generations.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Alex is one of the curators.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11She was a very important ship of Henry VIII's reign.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13She was built as soon as he came to the throne
0:27:13 > 0:27:15and she sank just two years before he died,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18so she actually epitomises the whole of his reign where
0:27:18 > 0:27:23warfare at sea changed, and she's the living community of 500 men
0:27:23 > 0:27:26at a really important time in history.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31Resting on a metal support in her new berth, at over 100 feet
0:27:31 > 0:27:35in length, the timber flagship is an impressive sight.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- Ho, that is just incredible, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- That's the Mary Rose.- It is.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- The level of conservation here must be unbelievable.- It's huge.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47And it has been a lifetime's work, it is a generation.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51It has been sprayed until two weeks ago and we brought it up in 1982.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Behind that grey tubing, which is
0:27:53 > 0:27:56actually the last phase of the conservation which will
0:27:56 > 0:27:57blow air over the timbers,
0:27:57 > 0:28:01are all the seven gun ports that the main armament of the ship would
0:28:01 > 0:28:03have gone through.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06And we have the armament in this mirror image behind us.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12How did she go down? How did she sink?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15We're not sure, it's probably a combination of things.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17The best eye-witness accounts said she'd fired guns from one
0:28:17 > 0:28:20side of the ship and we think it's the starboard side,
0:28:20 > 0:28:23and she turned to fire guns from the other side of the ship and as
0:28:23 > 0:28:27she did, she sank, she fell onto the side of the guns she'd just fired.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Past the point of no return almost.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Past the point of no return. Why that happened, we don't know.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Sounds like you've got a job for life.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39The Mary Rose Trust has been painstakingly conserving
0:28:39 > 0:28:41the tens of thousands of objects
0:28:41 > 0:28:44brought up with the ship for decades now.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Protecting these precious artefacts is a laborious process,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50requiring them to be washed, treated with preservatives
0:28:50 > 0:28:54and freeze-dried to remove all remaining liquid.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Phil gets a rare peek behind the scenes
0:28:56 > 0:28:58of this impressive operation.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Come in and see our reserve collection.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03This is the wood store, we have a separate one for metals,
0:29:03 > 0:29:07but these are just some of the things that we have that are ready
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- to go in the museum. - Look at that.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12So this is one of the dishes, one of the many ones that
0:29:12 > 0:29:15was beside the galley, ready for the last meal, if you like.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Sue's fixed that so it's ready to go on display.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- And it's fantastic. - And there's a mark on the bottom.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22A Z, or a squiggle.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25And that's probably saying, "It's my bowl cos I can't write my name."
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- Not who made it, but who owns it? - Who owns it - ownership.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Some of them have got an H on it, an H brand,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31and that's Henry, "That's my bowl."
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- Not the king?- Yeah, the king.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38These are some of the 250 listed longbows
0:29:38 > 0:29:42and they are all, so far, of yew and probably imported yew.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43- Why?- We ran out of it.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46We ran out of it in the late middle ages.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50I'm holding a 500-year-old yew wood longbow.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53This feels like you're holding something that's 20 or 30 years
0:29:53 > 0:29:55old and you've got to stop and think...
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- It's that old.- ..it's that old.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Well, now that Phil has well and truly shivered his timbers,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03it's time for the boys to see how well each other has bought.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Well, Tommaso, how'd you get on?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09It's been good. It's been a long old day.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12It has, but I don't know if I'm more excited to see what you've
0:30:12 > 0:30:14bought or what we're going to have to eat.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- I've done all right.- Have you? - I had a big spend.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Go on, then, you first.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- There's volume here, Phil, volume. - Hell fire!
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- What do you think of that little lot?- I love the greyhound.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27I think there's some good bits in there.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31This was £70 for the whole lot,
0:30:31 > 0:30:32averaging £4.66 per piece.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Is that all it is?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- It's good.- I love this.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- That's boxwood, isn't it? - Boxwood with a bit of brass inlaid.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44- Good rule, that.- What's...? - A little Morse code kit.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46I'm just trying to work out what SOS is, we might need that.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Presumably you're not having 53 lots in the sale.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51This is one lot here.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- Two, three, four.- Four.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56And then there's something else on the floor.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Oh, right.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Those are quite cool, aren't they?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03They are - big, decorative, stained glass, hanging pendant lights.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Just one question - how much money have you got left?
0:31:06 > 0:31:07I've got £18 left.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09So I've got to beat 18 quid?
0:31:09 > 0:31:10- Yeah.- Right, OK.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Come on, then, what have you got?
0:31:12 > 0:31:13Need to be careful here.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16That's nice.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Well, that's one lot - silver, silver, glass.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Worcester vase, that's nice - blushed ivory - that's lovely.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Turn of the last century - 140 quid.
0:31:29 > 0:31:35And that, with a good following wind might do between 160 and 240.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36That's nice, isn't it?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38I love that lot there, which is a bit of sort of shipping stuff.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- What's this? A marlin spike? - Yeah. Good boy.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45And that is just off a White Star Line victualling department,
0:31:45 > 0:31:48so it's like a ration card.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52I couldn't understand why you didn't buy this.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55It's big, isn't it?
0:31:55 > 0:31:57We'll get there in a second.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58Do you want some help?
0:31:58 > 0:32:00See, look.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04You've got a really cool, retro light.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Yeah, that's good. I like that.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- So you've got the lot there, you've got five.- Ask me one question about spending money.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I'm just trying to tot it up. Where are you?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16I had, after I bought that, £3.60 left.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19With my last £3.60 I bought the little box and what's in it.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- So you spent the lot? - I don't even know what's in here.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24How good's that?
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Every single penny gone, so I've won the main event.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28You have, haven't you?
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- So I've got to feed you tonight. - Come on. Where we going to then?
0:32:32 > 0:32:33It's your choice, isn't it?
0:32:33 > 0:32:36But what did they really think?
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I think the Staffordshire is going to make a profit.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40I can't see how he can fail on that.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42The Worcester's going to go well, it always does.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43He knows his Worcester.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46I think I'm going to struggle to catch him, for sure.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48It's all down to the last auction now,
0:32:48 > 0:32:50and I might be ahead at the minute, but I might not be at the end.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52I'm not feeling terribly confident.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56After starting out in Hampshire at sunny Southampton
0:32:56 > 0:32:59and heading east to the Portsmouth area, this leg of our trip
0:32:59 > 0:33:04doubles back to Dorset and concludes at an auction in Wareham.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Can you believe it's the last day, Phil? How fast has that gone?
0:33:07 > 0:33:10It seems like yesterday and it seems like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?
0:33:10 > 0:33:13An historic market town since the 16th century,
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Wareham was originally a small Roman settlement,
0:33:16 > 0:33:20although the current town was founded by the Saxons.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Auctioneers Cottees have been in business in Wareham for over
0:33:23 > 0:33:26100 years, specialising in Poole Pottery,
0:33:26 > 0:33:29but will their general sale be a wash-out for Phil and Tom?
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Let's get the roof on. I think that's that done.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- What way round does that go? - I think that'll do for it, Tom.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39We're going to miss the auction, come on.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Leave the roof then, boys, we'll sort that out.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45While the boys dry off and have a browse,
0:33:45 > 0:33:49what does auctioneer John Condie think of what they've bought?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51The collection of nautical memorabilia was
0:33:51 > 0:33:53probably my favourite lot.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55I like the little White Star Line ticket.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58The large collection of Staffordshire figures - mmm,
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Staffordshire is right out of fashion at the moment.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03I like the yardstick - exactly the sort of thing
0:34:03 > 0:34:07that is selling incredibly well at the moment.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11Phil Serrell started this leg with £343.60
0:34:11 > 0:34:13and spent every bean on five lots,
0:34:13 > 0:34:16and won dinner from Tom in the process.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17You're a gentleman and a scholar.
0:34:17 > 0:34:23Tom Scott started with £243.80 and spent all but £18.80,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25also on five lots.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27But who will triumph in the end,
0:34:27 > 0:34:30big spender Phil or new kid on the block Tom?
0:34:30 > 0:34:33AUCTIONEER DROWNS OUT SPEECH
0:34:33 > 0:34:35We need to get out more, don't we?
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- We do.- First up is Phil's glass decanter
0:34:38 > 0:34:40and golfing trophy with the silver details.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Here we go.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44£50 for the two?
0:34:44 > 0:34:4750? 30, then?
0:34:47 > 0:34:48- Help.- £30?
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Thank you. £30 is bid at the back. £30.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53£30 I got. £35 anywhere?
0:34:53 > 0:34:5635? 35 bid. 40?
0:34:56 > 0:34:58£40 bid.
0:34:58 > 0:34:5945?
0:34:59 > 0:35:0045. 50?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02£50 I got at the back.
0:35:02 > 0:35:0350.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05I'll sell it for £50, then.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Last chance...
0:35:07 > 0:35:09GAVEL BANGS
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Uh-oh - that's a loss on the first lot.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15# There may be trouble ahead... #
0:35:15 > 0:35:19Next, Tom's pair of ship's lights. Will they shine at auction?
0:35:19 > 0:35:23Start me at £20 for those. 20 for the lights?
0:35:23 > 0:35:25- £20 I'm bid. - Off to the races, mate.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29£20 I got. 25, anybody else?
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Get a fiver, surely.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Can't tempt you?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34It's right at the back at 20 then...
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- GAVEL BANGS - £20.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39They break even, but after costs, a small loss.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Do we need to man the lifeboats?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44I wonder if they've ever had a dead heat in this competition?
0:35:44 > 0:35:48It's time to signal for help - Tom's Morse key is up next.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Is this going to get me out of trouble?
0:35:51 > 0:35:52Dee-dee-dee-dah-dah-dah.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56It's a nice thing, start me at £20 for it.
0:35:56 > 0:35:5720?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- Thank you. - Look at that - doubled up.
0:36:00 > 0:36:0320. 25 now make it.
0:36:03 > 0:36:0425 on the net.
0:36:04 > 0:36:0525. 30 bid.
0:36:05 > 0:36:0730. £30 bid.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Should have bought more of these.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12At £30, gentleman in the room...
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- Anyone else?- That's brilliant.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- GAVEL BANGS - £30.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Tripled his money there.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21I'm really pleased for you, Tom.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25It's Phil's turn in the spotlight.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- Is Wareham ready for this? - Well, I've seen the light,
0:36:28 > 0:36:30I'm just not sure everybody else has.
0:36:30 > 0:36:3160?
0:36:33 > 0:36:35£60 for it, surely?
0:36:35 > 0:36:3650 then?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40£40 bid. 40. 45.
0:36:40 > 0:36:4250. 55.
0:36:43 > 0:36:4560 if you like.
0:36:45 > 0:36:4860 here. 60. 65.
0:36:48 > 0:36:5070?
0:36:50 > 0:36:5170 bid.
0:36:51 > 0:36:5270. 75.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55He's not going to give up this one, he's going to keep going.
0:36:55 > 0:36:5780? £80 I've got.
0:36:57 > 0:36:5980. 85.
0:36:59 > 0:37:0190, sir?
0:37:01 > 0:37:0290 bid.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05He's just got me my money back, hasn't he?
0:37:05 > 0:37:08I'm relieved about that at the minute.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09£90, then, we're selling it...
0:37:11 > 0:37:12- GAVEL BANGS - £90.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14A little brightness in the dark.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Phil makes a small profit there.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18We've sold two lots each.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Two lots each and what, am I about 45, 50 quid ahead?
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- About 50, yeah. - It's getting on, isn't it?- It is.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25It's time for Tom's collection of Staffordshire figures.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Does anyone have a big enough mantelpiece to hold this lot?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30What do you say then? £100 for the lot?
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Oh, hello.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35100? 80 then?
0:37:35 > 0:37:3620.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Where did that come from?
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- 20, John.- £20 is bid.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44£20 - there's no reserve.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Who's going to take him on?

0:37:48 > 0:37:51£30 bid. 30.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52£30 I got.

0:37:58 > 0:38:00- 40 I've got.- It's getting there. - Yeah.
0:38:00 > 0:38:0145 on the net.
0:38:01 > 0:38:0245.
0:38:02 > 0:38:0450 bid in the room.
0:38:04 > 0:38:0550.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Centre of the room there, £50 then...
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Anyone else?
0:38:09 > 0:38:11GAVEL BANGS
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Well, the buyer seems happy. I'm not sure about Tom, though.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Phil is creeping further ahead.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19It's time for his maritime collection.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Will it prove seaworthy and make a profit?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24I've got interest starting at £50.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- Hey.- That's a result.
0:38:26 > 0:38:2750.
0:38:27 > 0:38:2855 now.
0:38:28 > 0:38:3055. 60.

0:38:45 > 0:38:46Anyone else?
0:38:48 > 0:38:49- It's a nice lot. - GAVEL BANGS
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- That's brilliant. - That's a result, isn't it?
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Everything's ship-shape for Phil.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56I bet he wishes he'd bought more like that.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Can Tom's yardstick measure up?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Start the bidding at £10 for that one.
0:39:02 > 0:39:0415 now bid.
0:39:04 > 0:39:0615.
0:39:06 > 0:39:0820, anybody else?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10I've got £15 on my left.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11There's got to be another one, surely.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- 15 and selling then... - GAVEL BANGS
0:39:14 > 0:39:18So another lot breaking even means a small loss after costs.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Storm clouds on the horizon for Tom.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23It doesn't matter, it's all about the trip.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25It doesn't matter at all, does it?
0:39:25 > 0:39:26Speak for yourself, mate.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29It's the wooden box Phil bought instead of lunch.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Was there something valuable hidden in there?
0:39:31 > 0:39:34It's got to make £3.60. I can't lose money, can I?
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Two commission bids, I'm bid £15...
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- What!- £15.
0:39:40 > 0:39:4220. 25 is bid.
0:39:42 > 0:39:4330 now.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46On the net, £30.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47I'm flabbergasted.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49I'm glad I had this and not the sandwiches.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53£30 then. Selling for...
0:39:53 > 0:39:54- GAVEL BANGS - ..£30.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Almost ten times what he paid for it.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Maybe Phil should buy Tom lunch after all.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01We've both got one high-priced lot left.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04I've got one very high-priced lot left.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07I think your Worcester is going to go for 120.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10No. If that gets 120, I will give you a big slobbery kiss.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Oh, my, Phil, Tom looks worried.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17That's something you can look forward to, isn't it?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19It's time for those lights he dithered over.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22He's trailing Phil by over £100 at the moment.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25£100 for the two.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Surely? 80 then?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Surely? Anyone want to go less?
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- Yes, £80...- Well done you.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34£80 I got. Internet bidder at 80.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- Who's going to take him on? 85? 85.- Well done, mate.
0:40:37 > 0:40:4085 in the room. that's good.
0:40:40 > 0:40:4285. 90 on the net.
0:40:42 > 0:40:4590. They're nice things at £90.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- Nobody else?- Oh, man.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49GAVEL BANGS
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Tom's final lot and it's another loss.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54There's been no beginner's luck for him on this trip.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57That's it, I'm done. I'm going to wait in the car.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Behave.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Tom might need to save that pout for Phil
0:41:01 > 0:41:04if his Worcester vase does well.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07What say for this then, the old Worcester? £50?
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- £50 for it? - Blimey, Phil...- £40 then?
0:41:10 > 0:41:13..I don't think that snog will be on the cards.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15£40 at the back. Thank you.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17£40. At 40.
0:41:17 > 0:41:1945. 50.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20He's going to take them all on, Phil.
0:41:20 > 0:41:2255 if you like?
0:41:22 > 0:41:24This gentleman right at the back at £50.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Absolutely for nothing.
0:41:26 > 0:41:27£50 then...
0:41:27 > 0:41:2955 now.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30It's 55 in the middle.
0:41:30 > 0:41:3255. 60, anyone else?
0:41:33 > 0:41:35- GAVEL BANGS - 55.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Well, that buyer's had two good bargains with ceramics today.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Phil takes a big loss on that vase.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43- Ouch! - What's that done to the numbers?
0:41:43 > 0:41:47I'm ever so pleased I haven't got to kiss you.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50So not a good day for either of the chaps in Wareham.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Where has this left them overall?
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Tom began with £243.80 and after paying auction costs,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59made a loss of £59.90,
0:41:59 > 0:42:05giving him a final total for his first Road Trip of £186.90.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Meanwhile, Phil started with a healthy £343.60,
0:42:08 > 0:42:13but after costs, made a loss of £81.20 - oh, dear -
0:42:13 > 0:42:16dropping his total to £262.40.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20So while Tom wins this leg, with the least losses,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Phil is overall winner.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25All profits made in the series go to Children In Need.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27- That's it, Phil - last auction. - All done, yeah.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- How does it feel to be a winner? - And you're driving.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32- Again.- Sad to see it end.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33It is, isn't it?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I don't know what I'm going to do with myself now.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Well...
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Apart from drive you home again.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Phil and Tom started the trip as individual lots,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47but now I think we've got a bit of a matched pair.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Yours is bigger than mine, Phil.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Look at that.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Ah, rusted.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- Oh, dear.- Yeah!
0:43:06 > 0:43:11Next week on the Antiques Road Trip, Paul Laidlaw shares his knowledge.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13What more can the antiques expert tell you about it?
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Not a lot really!
0:43:15 > 0:43:18And David Harper polishes up on his charm.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Look at that. What's your house like?
0:43:20 > 0:43:21Oh, gosh, don't ask.
