0:00:10 > 0:00:14- Going, going, gone! - I've fallen in love with a brick!
0:00:14 > 0:00:18'The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22'There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.'
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I feel antiqued out!
0:00:24 > 0:00:27'Will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?'
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- GEARS CRUNCH - Charlie!- Sorry!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32'This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35'Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:40'This week, we're with the dashing duo of the antiques world.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48'Auctioneer, antiques expert and all-round good guy Charles Hanson
0:00:48 > 0:00:50'had a shaky start...'
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I don't believe it! You conquered me today!
0:00:53 > 0:00:56'..but has fought hard to take back the lead.'
0:00:56 > 0:00:59LAUGHTER Thank you very much.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06'Hot on his heels is jewellery expert Christina Trevanion. She may be a Road Tip rookie...'
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- As it's my first Road Trip...! - HE LAUGHS
0:01:09 > 0:01:12'..but she's got one thing on her mind.'
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- I NEED a bargain!- Need a bargain!
0:01:15 > 0:01:20'And she's going to great lengths to get what she wants.'
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- That's it. The gloves are off, baby! - LAUGHS
0:01:27 > 0:01:29'Charles started with £200
0:01:29 > 0:01:33'and after two trips to auction has made some impressive profits,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37'giving him £391.96p to spend today.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43'Also kicking off with £200,

0:01:46 > 0:01:51'clocking up a respectable budget of £229.20p.'
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I thrive when I'm under pressure, and I do feel under pressure.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Just impress me, just swank around, OK?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08When I see you at the next reveal,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11impress me, OK, because you have so far.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15'Their worthy steed for the journey
0:02:15 > 0:02:18'is this beautifully preserved 1969 Morris Minor.'
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Sorry.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- CHRISTINA LAUGHS - What happened?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27'Yet another car suffers at the hands of Hanson!'
0:02:27 > 0:02:31My knob's come off. Sorry. CHRISTINA LAUGHS
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- Do you want me to screw it back on? - Could you screw my knob on, please?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38'Oh, try to behave, Charles!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43'The route for the week takes our intrepid road trippers
0:02:43 > 0:02:47'from Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire over peak and dale
0:02:47 > 0:02:50'to their final destination of Cobridge in Staffordshire,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53'covering approximately 600 miles.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57'On this part of the journey,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01'they'll kick off their shopping in Liverpool and work their way up
0:03:01 > 0:03:04'to the auction in Lytham St Annes in Lancashire.'
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Oh, my goodness! Liverpool! - Look at the horizon over there.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14It just captures an industrial age, doesn't it?
0:03:15 > 0:03:20'And as they skirt around the Wirral coast en route to the big city,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22'Christina's full of facts.'
0:03:22 > 0:03:25When the banana first came to England it was through Liverpool.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Really?- Yeah.- Are you serious? - Yeah. What date do you think?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I'm going to say, look at me...
0:03:31 > 0:03:35the first banana came into the UK via Liverpool in about 1684.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37No, Charlie.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- OK. Hold on. 1720.- No.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Hold on. 1715.- Colder.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- What year?- 1884 - the year of your birth.- That late?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- You've been doing homework? - Yeah. I have.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51'Every day's a school day, eh, Charles?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56'Liverpool's wealth was in part due
0:03:56 > 0:04:00'to the city handling 40% of the world's trade
0:04:00 > 0:04:02'by the early 19th century.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05'Can our duo cash in on this rich heritage?'
0:04:05 > 0:04:10- I think Liverpool has so much to offer and to offer us as well.- Yeah.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12There is a wealth of material.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16The sun's coming out. We're prospering. The day's good.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18'They're off to a great start(!)'
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- The car's running off. - Is it? Sorry! Handbrake!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25'Or maybe not.'
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- Might not be here when we get back. - It's my tactics, OK?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- See you later.- Bye.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36'With no sign of putting the brakes on,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38'Charles is starting in pole position.
0:04:38 > 0:04:44'Can his first shop of the trip and owner Trevor help him stay there?'
0:04:44 > 0:04:49- I'll go for a walk around. I'm on thrill chase today.- Good.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- To keep myself in the lead. - Well, bright and optimistic is good.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I'll be back in a second.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I'm trying to impress Christina.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01A man is always underdressed without a waistcoat.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04'Quite the gentleman, isn't he?'
0:05:05 > 0:05:09That could be Christina on this cigarette card.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10'Cheeky boy!'
0:05:10 > 0:05:13It's a wonderful shop! There's everything here.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16'But is there anything you like, Charles?'
0:05:16 > 0:05:18What I quite like is down here.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21It's marked Ruskin.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24What has caught my eye is it's priced at...
0:05:24 > 0:05:27WHISPERING: ..£55!
0:05:27 > 0:05:31And that's really cheap. The problem is, it says "cracked".
0:05:31 > 0:05:36If it wasn't cracked, it could be worth £300 or £400.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38'Well, Charles, that's quite a find.'
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Trevor?- Yeah.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- I couldn't look in your cabinet? - You're welcome.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I just noticed on this shelf down here a nice Ruskin bowl.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Yes, it has a crack in it.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- Has a crack.- It's incredibly thin. - Is it?- Yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- You're circa 1920, aren't you, with this?- I'm sure.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02It's Ruskin copying the great Chinese master potters
0:06:02 > 0:06:04in their flambe and other glazes.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Trevor, what's your best price on that?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Charles...- Trevor. - ..you're a nice guy.- Yes, mate!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- You don't give any nasty pressure. - No.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- £30.- Trevor, you say 30. I'm always one to come back.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I think one's got to negotiate and make a counter offer.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Would you take £25? - I would, Charles.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Would you really, Trevor?- Yes. - Because it's just got to go?- No.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Because it's as sunny as you are! - 'Ha ha! He's a jolly fellow!'
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I'm really excited.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37What Trevor doesn't realise
0:06:37 > 0:06:41is that on the bottom it's dated 1917.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44It's also not cracked. Um...
0:06:45 > 0:06:49And I think it's really nice. I think it's worth £100.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Hanson! Off and running!
0:06:52 > 0:06:56'Well, Charles, that might make you a pretty packet at auction.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59'Christina's got some serious catching up to do.'
0:06:59 > 0:07:00And there's 40.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Thanks very much, Trevor. Good to see you again.- Good luck.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10'Her first shop was the stables
0:07:10 > 0:07:14'which served one of the first train stations in the world.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17'With so much history packed in, she'll have to work hard
0:07:17 > 0:07:19'to find the right piece for profit in this place.'
0:07:19 > 0:07:23It's so frustrating not being able to get at anything.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I'm looking for one thing, possibly one or two things,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28which are going to make me big money.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32"Needle" and "haystack"... springs to mind.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34It'll be fine.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40'This labyrinth of antiques is putting our girl in a bit of a spin.'
0:07:42 > 0:07:44How do you get into anything?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- I just want to tidy it all up! - LAUGHS
0:07:52 > 0:07:57'With so much choice, Christina's turning to the auction house for divine inspiration.'
0:07:57 > 0:08:02So we're looking for jewellery and silver, ceramics and Chinese?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Bye, bye.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07It's very much "smalls".
0:08:07 > 0:08:09In that case, furniture's out.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- BREATHES IN - No pressure(!)
0:08:12 > 0:08:16'Armed with that advice, there'll be no more horsing about.'
0:08:16 > 0:08:19It looks almost Picasso in inspiration, doesn't it?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22It's quite lovely. I like that.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Quite a nice shape, very displayable.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29The kind of thing my granny would have loved and is coming back into vogue.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34'Christina's first find is an Italian art pottery jug.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36'Now she's on a roll.'
0:08:36 > 0:08:39So, these would have been carpet bowls,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41or ARE carpet bowls.
0:08:41 > 0:08:48You would have played your carpet bowls inside as a game.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Like you play crown green balls now.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54You really want to make sure that they've got no chips to the glaze.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59These haven't, as far as I can see. They're nice decorative things.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Together, they make quite a nice little display.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04'They're marked up at £6 each.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06'At last, she's bowled over,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09'but can she strike a deal with owner Paul?'
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Paul, what's your thoughts on...
0:09:14 > 0:09:16..a jug and some carpet bowls?
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- £20 the lot.- That sounds like quite a lot of money.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- That's cheap.- No? - I had hours of fun with them bowls.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27'Oh, he's a lot of fun.'
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I was thinking more like a tenner.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- We're in 2013.- I know. - The war's over!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- I'll take 15 quid for them. - I'm still at a tenner.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Go on.- They're cheap at 15. - A tenner? I need the head start!
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- Split the difference at 12?- Yeah. Go on.- Yeah? Do me at 12?- Yeah.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Brilliant. You're a star. Thank you very much.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51'She knows how to get what she wants.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55'With deal at £12, it's time to hit the road once more
0:09:55 > 0:09:59'and make the short journey towards Prescot.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05'Sitting on the edge of town is our next stop, Knowsley Hall,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08'a 2,500-acre estate.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13'And all this beautiful countryside is inspiring our eager experts
0:10:13 > 0:10:16'to stage an impromptu rescue attempt.'
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Come on!
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Christina? LAMB BLEATING
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Come on.- Shoo him back here. I'll catch him.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Oh, no!
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Hey!- There you go.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38'What a hero he is!
0:10:38 > 0:10:43'Now, hurry along, Charles, cos Christina has an important date.'
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- Gateway to heaven!- Yeah, indeed! - Who are you seeing here?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I am ditching you for the delightful Earl of Derby.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I can't compete with this guy!
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- I know. - It's in my dreams, Christina!
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Absolutely beautiful.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- Have fun shopping.- Thanks(!) Ditch me! Enjoy yourself. See you later.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Go carefully. Bye.- Bye.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08'The current resident of Knowsley Hall
0:11:08 > 0:11:10'is the 19th Earl of Derby.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14'His family's history is closely connected to the history of Britain
0:11:14 > 0:11:18'and includes a Prime Minister, a champion of William Shakespeare
0:11:18 > 0:11:23'and close ties to the royal family stretching back to Richard III.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28'Despite all that, it's the family's passion for horse racing
0:11:28 > 0:11:31'that's arguably been their biggest contribution to British life.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35'They created their namesake, the Derby,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38'the best-known horse race in the world.'
0:11:40 > 0:11:42GALLOPING HOOVES
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- You must be Lord Derby.- Hi there. - Thank you so much for having us.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Your house is absolutely stunning.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02It helps that you've come on a sunny day. We haven't had so much of those of late.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I'm very proud to be part of a long lineage here.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08The family have lived here for 600 years.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13- There's obviously been a link with horses.- A huge link with horses.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Going way, way back, pre-Civil War.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Here at Knowsley in the park, there was a racecourse.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- This is the park of this house? - This is the park.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26That tower which was a lookout for the racecourse is still there.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Very, very long races, they had in those days.
0:12:29 > 0:12:35It shows that that family link with racing goes on a long way.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43'It was the 12th Earl of Derby who started the Epsom Oaks in 1779,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45'and then the Derby a year later,
0:12:45 > 0:12:49'marking the beginning of the sport as we know it today.'
0:12:50 > 0:12:54The naming of the Derby was at a dinner party at Epsom,
0:12:54 > 0:12:59and a toss of a coin between Sir Charles Bunbury and Lord Derby.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Derby won the toss, but Diomed, Sir Charles Bunbury's horse,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- won the first running of the race. - That's very diplomatic!
0:13:06 > 0:13:11It took another nine years till Derby could win it.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17'The family have had great success across the generations,
0:13:17 > 0:13:21'right up to today, with Lord Derby's own champion horse,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24'Ouija Board.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27'And of course, their name has gone beyond horse racing
0:13:27 > 0:13:31'and has spread into other sporting events.'
0:13:34 > 0:13:38It has flourished into all these wonderful international events!
0:13:38 > 0:13:41It's spread out into all these international events.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45We've gone beyond racing. We've got donkey derby and demolition derby.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49And football thinks it owns this expression of the local derby,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53with Man U, Man City - here, it's Liverpool and Everton.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57In fact, we believe the origin of that expression, the local derby,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01comes from rugby league, a very popular sport round here,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03mainly played in the north of England.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07That, we believe, is where the original expression came from.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09What a sporting legacy to uphold!
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Quite a sporting legacy! Quite a family history!
0:14:12 > 0:14:16I'm very proud to be part of such an illustrious and long family history.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Thank you for sharing it with us. - Great pleasure.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21'With Christina otherwise engaged,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23'Charles is trotting round the countryside....
0:14:26 > 0:14:31'..en route to Wigan in Greater Manchester,
0:14:31 > 0:14:35'one of the first towns in the country to feature a railway.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38'George Orwell also brought fame to the town
0:14:38 > 0:14:40'with The Road To Wigan Pier,
0:14:40 > 0:14:44'largely concerned with England's working poor.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49'Today, the area is the centre of a large regeneration project.
0:14:49 > 0:14:55'Can our Charles turn rags to riches at his next stop, JW Antiques?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57'Go for it, Charles.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06'He's certainly keeping his eyes peeled for a bargain!'
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I'm short-sighted.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11'Looking good, Charles!'
0:15:11 > 0:15:14No, it's not very good.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19When it comes to afternoon tea, you take a seat.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21"How are you, darling?" "How are you?"
0:15:21 > 0:15:25'Oh, Charles! First, it's an imaginary friend.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28'Now a tea party on the floor!'
0:15:28 > 0:15:31We've got some chips on the rims over there.
0:15:31 > 0:15:37We've got a nice set of three milk to cream jugs and a small jug.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39A condiment jar and cover for jam
0:15:39 > 0:15:44and that lovely condiment set - just gorgeous and so complete.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48'This Art Deco tea and coffee set dates from the 1930s
0:15:48 > 0:15:50'and has a price tag of £80
0:15:50 > 0:15:53'for the lot.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57'What's he up to now?
0:15:57 > 0:16:03'He's picking up items by the bucket-load, with the help of John.'
0:16:03 > 0:16:07The reason I quite like this bucket is because clearly it has some age.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It's quite rustic. It's coopered.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Which is this iron or... Yeah, it is, cast-iron binding.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I think it's pine, isn't it?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19That's just quite a nice bucket.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24If I said to you, John, what sort of value on this bucket,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26what would you tell me?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29To a poor man from Derbyshire, John, looking to earn a buck at auction.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32'Let the man think, Charles!'
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- 45.- OK.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- I'll give it some thought. - No problem.- He's saying...
0:16:39 > 0:16:42That man over there is saying how much?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- < £25! £25. Do you know him?- Yeah.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Oh, I know him. - Good man. I'll give it some thought!
0:16:49 > 0:16:53'Oh, boss Will says £25.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57'There's no stopping you, Charles. He's spotted another piece.'
0:16:57 > 0:17:01I like this. This is of Newcastle, Newcastle on Tyne.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05They're flowering out in a great Deco style.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08It's called the crocus pattern. It's not in bad condition.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Bit of wear and tear.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16'Charles is adding this crocus pattern pottery bowl
0:17:16 > 0:17:18'to the items on his wish list,
0:17:18 > 0:17:23'featuring the 18th-century peat bucket and the coffee and tea set.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27'Right, boys. Prepare yourselves. Hanson's ready to deal.'
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- I think you said the best on the bucket was 20.- Yeah.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34'Actually, Charles, it was 25, but who's counting?'
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- OK. What's the best on the bowl? - That is the best.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41- 20?- Yeah.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45What's the best price, John, on that big coffee set?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I would value that at between 50 and 80 at auction.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52I want to buy it for about £40, but you've got your margins.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57If you want it for 50, you can have it. You'll make money on it.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Yeah. It's tempting.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04If I said to you I'm going to buy the peat bucket for 20, 20 for that,
0:18:04 > 0:18:09and rather than paying 50 for that big set...
0:18:11 > 0:18:14..would you accept 40? You would?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Thank you, John. I'll take the whole lot.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24'Chancer Charles wins again and walks away with the coffee and tea set for £40,
0:18:24 > 0:18:29'the pottery bowl for £20 and the bucket also for £20.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31'Bargains all round!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34'And joining Christina once more,
0:18:34 > 0:18:38'they bid farewell to another day of antique adventures.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40'So night-night, you two.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47'It's a brand new day - and new personas, apparently.'
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I'm Bonnie Prince Charlie, you're Lady Godiva.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- Hang on a second! - BOTH LAUGH
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- She didn't have any clothes on. - Oh, yeah!
0:18:59 > 0:19:01'That's a thought.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05'Yesterday, Charles spent £105 and bought four items -
0:19:05 > 0:19:09'the Ruskin stoneware bowl dated 1917,
0:19:09 > 0:19:14'the Art Deco tea and coffee set, circa 1930,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16'the crocus pattern pottery bowl
0:19:16 > 0:19:20'and the late 18th century pine peat bucket.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25'Which still leaves him with a hefty budget of £286.96p
0:19:25 > 0:19:27'to spend today.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33'Christina, though, only parted with £12 and bought two items -
0:19:33 > 0:19:37'the Chinese porcelain carpet bowls
0:19:37 > 0:19:39'and the Italian art pottery jug,
0:19:39 > 0:19:45'giving her £217.20p to see her to the end of the day.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51'And their first stop is the Lancastrian city of Preston.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59'Although it wears the crown of being England's newest city,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01'Preston is steeped in history,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04'with evidence of an Ancient Roman presence.'
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Adieu, Christine.- Go conquer.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Morning has broken. Give me a song.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- Morning has broken.- See you later. Just get on with your visit!
0:20:17 > 0:20:19'As Christina heads off to the shops,
0:20:19 > 0:20:23'Charles is in for an altogether more sensory experience.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29'He's come to the impressive Harris Museum and Art Gallery
0:20:29 > 0:20:34'for an appointment with the country's largest collection of scent bottles.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39'Collected by a Mrs French in the 19th and 20th centuries
0:20:39 > 0:20:43'and bequeathed to the museum through a mutual friend
0:20:43 > 0:20:45'after her death in 1963.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49'Incredibly, there are almost 3,000 items!
0:20:51 > 0:20:56'Each known well by museum head of arts and heritage Alex Walker.'
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- Good morning.- Good morning. - You must be Alex.- I am, yes.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06SNIFFS I can smell something.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- 'Stop it, Charles!' - You smell very nice!
0:21:08 > 0:21:14I'm here to learn about Mrs French and her scent bottle collection.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18We know that sadly she was a widow, but she did have a son.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Unfortunately, he was killed during the Second World War.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26It seems to be after that that she really began to collect more.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30'Mrs French's unique collection of bottles
0:21:30 > 0:21:34'are renowned with collectors who flock from around the world
0:21:34 > 0:21:38'to witness this "scent-sational" glimpse into the past.'
0:21:40 > 0:21:42When you say scent bottle,
0:21:42 > 0:21:47obviously I wear my smells and I'm sure you wear your...
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Do you like it?- Oh, yes.- Thank you! I could come here again!
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Tell me, back in the 18th century,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56the English scent bottle, what was its primary role?
0:21:56 > 0:22:01We're used today to scent being a sort of luxury product,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04very often associated with a couturier,
0:22:04 > 0:22:09and the scent bottles themselves are part of the branding of the scent.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12But not so much in the past.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17You had your individual scent bottle filled by a chemist, a perfumer,
0:22:17 > 0:22:22who would make up a recipe and decant it into your bottle.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27'Our love of scent goes back to Egyptian times,
0:22:27 > 0:22:31'but scent bottles have come a long way since then.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34'Although most of Mrs French's bottles are Victorian,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38'she collected some from as far back as the 1700s.'
0:22:41 > 0:22:43The interesting thing about this
0:22:43 > 0:22:47is the little mirrored patch box set in the side.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Of course, Alex, if you're off for a night out in 1780,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54you can put your scent on, then check yourself out.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56There's no warts. LAUGHS
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I can see no smallpox, no scars.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I don't know!
0:23:02 > 0:23:05'He sure does know how to charm a lady(!)
0:23:05 > 0:23:09'Mrs French displayed many of her bottles in her home in Kent.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13'One that stands out for its technical complexity
0:23:13 > 0:23:17'was made by the glassmaker Thomas Webb in the early 1880s.'
0:23:18 > 0:23:22The most remarkable thing is the very beautiful carved feathers.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26It's really odd, isn't it? It's a duck's head, is it?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Yes...- Or a swan's head?
0:23:29 > 0:23:34- I'm not very good on birds.- I'm not, either, when it comes to birds.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37What is so remarkable, in my opinion,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41is this was Victorian novelty - I mean, that is so novel!
0:23:41 > 0:23:45There was a period towards the end of the 19th century
0:23:45 > 0:23:48when scent bottles became a medium
0:23:48 > 0:23:51for producing novelty decorative objects.
0:23:51 > 0:23:57- We have this one in the shape of opera glasses.- I see.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02- Just novelty items.- Like that, but both lids would support scents.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I've got £300.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08You've got 2,700.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Any in that price bracket... for sale?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- Don't ask.- OK. That's a no, is it? - That's a no.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Long may Mrs French's collection continue living in Preston.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24'Charles's attempt at a deal may not have come up smelling of roses.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30'Perhaps Christina will have more luck,
0:24:30 > 0:24:35'as she's been making her way to the small village of Bretherton.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42'With a recorded history going back over 800 years,
0:24:42 > 0:24:46'perhaps Bretherton's biggest claim to fame is its association
0:24:46 > 0:24:50'with the father of British astronomy, Jeremiah Horrocks.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55'The perfect place for Christina to reach for the stars
0:24:55 > 0:24:58'and steal back the lead.'
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- Hello!- Hello, Christina. It's lovely to see you.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- What's your name?- Aiden. - Nice to meet you, Aiden.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- Thank you so much for having us. - You're welcome.- How exciting.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13I wonder what we can tempt you with. We want you to make a profit.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Oh, thank you! Well, I need to at the moment. I'm trailing.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- That's no good.- I know! - You won't trail when you've been here, darling!
0:25:21 > 0:25:25'Ah, excellent, Christina, a partner in crime, eh?'
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Jewellery here. - And silver there, brilliant.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I'm not an expert on jewellery.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33'Well, Aiden, luckily our girl is, so move aside.'
0:25:33 > 0:25:36That's nice, that little pepper.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41'This Edwardian silver pepperette has caught Christina's eye.'
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Nice Birmingham hallmark.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47I can see it's got a blue glass liner, which really helps.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- And it's got some original pepper! - LAUGHS
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- It just screams Art Nouveau, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- So...- What's it got on it? - You've got £80 on that.- £80?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- You like a bargain, don't you? - I NEED a bargain.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03You need a bargain!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05How's 40?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08'Half price? He's trying hard, Christina.'
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- That's a big drop.- Wow! That is a big drop! Incredibly kind.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- We want you to make a profit. - Thank you.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17'Huh! Team Christina all the way!'
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Oh, that's nice. - They are nice, those.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Chester as well. Those are lovely.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Great you've got the original box and there's still six.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- You've got a good eye, haven't you? - I try! Not so far! I'm losing!
0:26:30 > 0:26:33You're picking nice pieces.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38'The case of six Edwardian silver buttons dates from 1903
0:26:38 > 0:26:41'and are priced at £125.'
0:26:42 > 0:26:46I would look at those and I would say 80 to 120 at auction.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51- Right.- Can you do something like 75...?- Oooh!
0:26:51 > 0:26:55I know you're pretty! It's that smile you've got, isn't it?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Good job not all my customers have got smiles or I'd be broke!
0:26:59 > 0:27:02CHRISTINA LAUGHS Go on, then. We want you to win.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Brilliant. Can we do it at 75?- 75.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08I don't know how much money I've got. I'm spending too much money!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- You've run out. - I think I might have done!
0:27:10 > 0:27:15'Relax, Christina. There's still £102.20p in your kitty.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19'So, can Aiden tempt you with yet more goodies?'
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I should be looking at this!
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Everything that I'm buying for £1 makes me most profit.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- It's ridiculous. - How about that for a bargain?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Oh, he's cute. Dogs.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Yeah, good subject. - We're a nation of animal lovers.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39It's got to be the right price, though. It's not silver.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Going off that, you can't lose at £1, can you?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45£1? Are you serious? Aiden, it's a deal. Thank you.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- It's only cos you're smiling! - Brilliant, thank you.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- I'm a sucker for a smile. - I'll take it.- You're welcome.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57'A silver-plated dog for a £1 note?
0:27:57 > 0:28:00'You'd have to be barking mad to say no, Christina.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03'Added to the buttons and the pepperette,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05'she's walking away with a silver haul.'
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Shall we call it 115?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- How much is it?- 116. - Go on, then!
0:28:11 > 0:28:13'She's done it again!'
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Thank you very much. Ah! What a gentleman!
0:28:16 > 0:28:19'And a kiss to seal the deal.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25'Back on the road, Charles is also turning on the charm.'
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- You've got the X factor!- Don't be daft!- You have! Those eyelashes!
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- If I've got the X factor, what have you got?- It's a good question.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38- You have natural talent.- Thank you very much. You can come again.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41'Don't encourage him, Christina.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45'They're making the short journey to the village of Eccleston,
0:28:45 > 0:28:51'home to Olympic gold cyclist extraordinaire, Sir Bradley Wiggins.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57'And two old weaving mills -
0:28:57 > 0:29:02'one converted into an Aladdin's cave of antiques and collectables.'
0:29:02 > 0:29:05It's called Bygone Times.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09- It says, "Begone with you!" - "Buy me then be gone?"- Exactly. Find the bargains!
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- 'He's in a hurry!' - Let's get shopping.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16- Which way are you going?- That way. - OK. See you later.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Good luck.
0:29:19 > 0:29:24'And they're off, scouring their final shop of the day.'
0:29:24 > 0:29:27This basket here. Ah!
0:29:27 > 0:29:30This man is almost a lookalike for Charlie Ross!
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Charlie, would you mind? Thanks, mate. You're a good man.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36'How rude!'
0:29:36 > 0:29:39WOLF WHISTLE
0:29:39 > 0:29:40LAUGHING
0:29:42 > 0:29:45He's going to get so lost! Think I ought to give him a map?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48'Not a bad idea, girl.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55'With the clock ticking, Charles is feeling the pressure.'
0:29:56 > 0:29:58- Any bargains in there?- I don't know.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I feel antiqued out! It's just huge.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05'After an hour of searching,
0:30:05 > 0:30:09'Charles makes a last mad dash for a final purchase
0:30:09 > 0:30:12'across the road.'
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Ah, hello.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- Sir, Charles Hanson. Your name is? - Darren.- Hi, Darren.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- Are you English?- Yes. - OK, fine. Sorry.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- Can I wander round?- Course you can. - I'm going to be really quick.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32'Already armed with five lots, Christina decides to ditch shopping
0:30:32 > 0:30:35'for an altogether more relaxing experience.'
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Enjoy this sunshine!
0:30:40 > 0:30:42'Time's running out, Charles.'
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I'm struggling here.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48- There's a nice little wall stand that I bought this morning.- Oh, yes?
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- From over the road.- I love the chandelier. How much is that?
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- 1,200.- OK. I'll leave it.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- There you go, Charles. - That's quite nice, actually.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03'Has he finally found his last lot in this late Victorian wall rack?'
0:31:05 > 0:31:09What I love about this is the turning.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Are they walnut?
0:31:12 > 0:31:17- I think they are, yeah.- Walnut and ebonised on mahogany shelf tiers.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- It is, what, 1880?- Yeah.
0:31:20 > 0:31:241870. And you'll tell me, Charles, it's how much?
0:31:24 > 0:31:2645 to you.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28- You wouldn't take 30 for it?- No.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- In cash.- No.- Darren look at me. - No, it's got to be £40.- For me?
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- No less?- Yeah. £40. I think you'll get a profit out of it.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40I'll take it. Go on. Sold.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42That's my fifth item.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I'm happy. Good man.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51'At last, he's walking away with the wall rack,
0:31:51 > 0:31:54'but will Christina think it's worth the wait?
0:31:54 > 0:31:57'Time to bare all, Charles. Well, almost.'
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- Are you ready? - Yeah. I'm ready, baby.- Be kind.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04OK, close your eyes.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06One, two, three. Voila!
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Oooh!
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- That's nice. - There's one more down there.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- Is there?- Yeah, yeah. - This is very nice.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19It's got style. They're pansies. What's it worth?
0:32:19 > 0:32:23- Violas.- Are you serious? - That's the pattern name!- Oh, is it?
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- Viola.- Is that a flower? - They're a type of pansy, I think.
0:32:27 > 0:32:32- I'm not a floral guy.- You've bought for the sale that we're going to.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- Like the bowl?- I do. Is that Ruskin?
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Have a look. - It's very thin for Ruskin.
0:32:37 > 0:32:43It is very thin and high-fired, almost a Chinese flambe.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48- Wonderful iridescent colours.- It's in good condition. What's it worth?
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- What's it worth?- Yeah.- 35, 40 quid?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- What did you pay for it?- £55.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- No, £25.- Did you?- Yeah.- Perfect. - Thank you.- Well done.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00I'm pleased. I haven't gone to town on the spending.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- God willing, Christina! - You've played it safe?
0:33:04 > 0:33:08'But how do things stack up against his rival's riveting items?'
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Oh, oh...
0:33:11 > 0:33:15What draws me in straight away, Christina, I must admit,
0:33:15 > 0:33:17are the buttons.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- I'm sure you'll tell me they're Birmingham or Chester.- Chester.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Let me guess a date. They look to be about 1904.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28- Ooh, 1903.- They're very nice. - One out.- You know how it is.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29'He's good!'
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- They're pierced in that great formal organic style.- What's the best bit?
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- They come with their box and they're complete!- Yeah!
0:33:37 > 0:33:41I reckon you spent on those buttons... Look at me. ..£70.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Oh. 75.- Oh, they're good. They're very nice.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- Like your dog!- Do you?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49I quite like your dog. Tell me about him.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- He is... Well, what do you think? - He's not silver, is he?
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Is he silver? Not silver. Is he silver?
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- Is he silver!- He is silver plate.
0:33:58 > 0:34:03- OK. Nation of animal lovers.- £15. - Do you know what?
0:34:03 > 0:34:07What's the most money that we've been making on our items?
0:34:07 > 0:34:10If you dared told me he was 100 pence...
0:34:10 > 0:34:12I'll go berserk!
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- How much?- £1.- No, he wasn't? Goodness me, Christina!
0:34:15 > 0:34:19You have done it again! Would you swap with me?
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Exactly. You're pausing because you wouldn't.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- Put it there. I'll see you in Lytham St Annes.- Take care.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29I'll try to!
0:34:32 > 0:34:34'She wouldn't say it to his face,
0:34:34 > 0:34:38'but come on Christina, tell us what you really think - amongst us.'
0:34:38 > 0:34:42I have to be honest, I think he's bought some pretty things...
0:34:43 > 0:34:47..but I don't think there's anything that's going to make a fortune.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51The bucket's nice. Market-fresh, great.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53But it's a bucket, isn't it?
0:34:53 > 0:34:55I'm really excited.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Yes, I would swap some of my items for hers,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01but I'm still very content to sit pretty.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Christina, watch, girl - and learn.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07'Ooh! That's fighting talk, Charles.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10'It doesn't look like it's letting up on the road, either.'
0:35:10 > 0:35:17- Would you like me to... - Get off my hair!- I'm trying to protect you from the rain!
0:35:18 > 0:35:20'They're heading to auction
0:35:20 > 0:35:23'in the seaside resort of Lytham St Annes near Blackpool.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29'Consisting of neighbours, the 19th-century planned town of St Annes
0:35:29 > 0:35:32'and its older counterpart Lytham,
0:35:32 > 0:35:38'this area has been a popular holiday destination since Victorian times.'
0:35:38 > 0:35:43Christina, I'd love to say to you, "It's lovely being by the seaside."
0:35:43 > 0:35:45CHRISTINA LAUGHS But it's not, is it, really?
0:35:45 > 0:35:50- It's blowing a gale!- It would be beautiful if the sun was shining.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- But we're in Britain.- Yeah.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58'Today, they're going to Gerrards auctioneers and valuers.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01'While Christina gets a measure of the competition,
0:36:01 > 0:36:05'Charles has dreams of hitting the ocean waves.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07'But what of their own offerings?
0:36:07 > 0:36:12'Does auctioneer Jonathan Cook think they'll sink or swim?'
0:36:14 > 0:36:18Some of them, I think, will do well. Others might struggle a bit.
0:36:18 > 0:36:23The peat bucket would appeal to a lot of dealers on the internet.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27Lots of dog lovers out there. They're going to want it.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Looks like their dog they've got at home.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Sure it'll do well.
0:36:34 > 0:36:40'Charles started this leg in the lead with £391.96p.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44'He's parted with £145 and is offering up five lots.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48'Christina began with £229.20p
0:36:48 > 0:36:54'and has also bought five items, at a cost of £127.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01'Today's auction is in the room, over the phone and online,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04'so take it away, Jonathan.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09'First up is Christina and her silver-plated dog.'
0:37:09 > 0:37:11£20 on the net. Any advance on 20?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- £20!- Where'd that come from?
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Any advance on 20 in the room? 22 on the net.
0:37:17 > 0:37:1924. 26.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- Well done. I don't believe this. - All finished at £28...?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27- Brilliant!- Yay!
0:37:27 > 0:37:32'That profit will keep you out of the doghouse for a while, Christina.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38'Can Charles also rack up a profit with his first lot of the day?'
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Bids there at £28.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45At 28. 30. £32? On the net at 32.
0:37:45 > 0:37:4734. 36.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52At £36 on the net. Any advance in the room? At £36...
0:37:52 > 0:37:54'Do sit still, Charles.'
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- ..At 40, £40.- Calm down!
0:37:56 > 0:38:0242 on the phone! At £42, then. Sell away at 42...
0:38:03 > 0:38:06'After all the time he took to find it,
0:38:06 > 0:38:10'his £2 profit will be wiped out by auction house costs.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12'Shame.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15'Back to Christina.
0:38:15 > 0:38:20'Will her horsey Italian jug see her galloping into profit?'
0:38:20 > 0:38:24£10 on the net. £10 on the internet. Any advance in the room...?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- They don't like my jug. - It's a profit.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- They don't like my jug. - It's a profit, though, isn't it?
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- You're warming up still. - OK. I'd better warm up quickly.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37'Indeed, Christina,
0:38:37 > 0:38:41'as most of that small profit will be eaten up in costs.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43'Charles again, now,
0:38:43 > 0:38:46'with his late 18th-century pine peat bucket.'
0:38:46 > 0:38:50£25. 26. At 26. 30.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- £30. Five. 40.- Yay!
0:38:53 > 0:38:57Five. 50. £50. Any advance on 50?
0:38:58 > 0:39:03'There's a bucket-load of profit there for you, Charles. Well done.
0:39:04 > 0:39:09'Can Christina follow suit with the Art Nouveau silver buttons?'
0:39:09 > 0:39:11£28. £30. 32.
0:39:11 > 0:39:1434. 36. 38. 40.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27- Come on!- £65.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32'Ah! It's a blow, with a £10 loss.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35'Staying with silver,
0:39:35 > 0:39:38'can her pepperette sprinkle her with profit?'
0:39:38 > 0:39:42Starting off at 28. 30. 32. 34. 36.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- Brilliant. - At £36. 38. 40.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- You're in profit. - At £40. 42. 44...
0:39:48 > 0:39:50'A lot of interest here, Christina.'
0:39:50 > 0:39:55..Five. 60. Five. 70. 75.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- 80. Five. - Oh!
0:39:58 > 0:40:00One more! Go 88.
0:40:00 > 0:40:0188?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05£88. 90.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06Thank you anyway, madam.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08£90, are we all sure?
0:40:09 > 0:40:12'£51 profit on the pepperette!
0:40:12 > 0:40:15'That's not to be sneezed at! Ha!
0:40:15 > 0:40:20'Over to Charles and his crocus pattern pottery bowl.'
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- £10. Any advance on ten? - A tenner!
0:40:22 > 0:40:26- It's lovely, in perfect condition. - £12. 14 on the net.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- Keep going. - 14. 16.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- 18. 20. - Oh, yes!
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Sell away at 20...
0:40:34 > 0:40:38- It's one of mine. Thanks. - No-one would have guessed(!)
0:40:38 > 0:40:43'It may be in perfect condition, but it's breaking even.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45'No profits here, Charles.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50'Next is Charles's tea and coffee set, circa 1930.'
0:40:50 > 0:40:53£50 bid on the net. 55.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- Go on. - 60. Five.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- 70. 75. - Keep going, boy.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02- £80 on the net.- Keep going. - It's going to sell. £80...
0:41:03 > 0:41:05'Cor! He's doubled his money with that lot.
0:41:05 > 0:41:11'Will Christina's carpet bowls help her roll into bigger profits?'
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Tenner at the back. £10. Gent's bid at ten.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16At £10. Any advance on ten?

0:41:20 > 0:41:23- No interest at all... - Get on with it!
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- Are we all sure? - Bring that gavel down!
0:41:26 > 0:41:30'Another £9 in the bank, Christina.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34'Last up is Charles, with his Ruskin stoneware bowl.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38'Can he capitalise on its good condition?'
0:41:38 > 0:41:42- Nice thing this.- It IS a good thing. - Start it off at £100.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45110. 120...

0:41:50 > 0:41:54- 160.- Keep going, boy. - £170, all finished...?
0:41:56 > 0:42:01'It's a cracker! £145 profit. Wow!'
0:42:01 > 0:42:06- That was absolutely phenomenal. - Can't believe it. Thank you.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10'You are out of this world, Charles, with two auction wins in a row.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11'Well done.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17'Christina Trevanion started with £229.20p.
0:42:17 > 0:42:22'After auction costs, she's made a profit of £42.74p,
0:42:22 > 0:42:25'which makes her total for the next round...
0:42:31 > 0:42:34'But, having started with £391.96p,
0:42:34 > 0:42:40'Charles Hanson has made a hefty profit, of £151.84p after costs,
0:42:40 > 0:42:45'increasing his lead and giving him £543.80p
0:42:45 > 0:42:47'to flash on the next leg.'
0:42:49 > 0:42:51- Shall I drive?- Yes, why not?
0:42:51 > 0:42:55You've made such a phenomenal profit. I'm slightly in shock still.
0:42:55 > 0:43:00- I literally cannot believe it. - I love Lytham!- I bet you do.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Long live Lytham.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- Let's go. On to Leeds.- Off we go.
