0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts with £200 each,
0:00:05 > 0:00:10a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Going, going, gone.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14- Yes!- I think I've fallen in love with a brick.
0:00:14 > 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 > 0:00:21There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23I feel antiqued out!
0:00:23 > 0:00:28So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- Charlie!- Sorry about that!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32This is The Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39It's the final leg of our battle of the sexes
0:00:39 > 0:00:40round the north of England.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Road Trip rookie Christina Trevanion has been tussling
0:00:43 > 0:00:47with the former youngster of the team, Charles Hanson.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50See, you've taken the mantle now. I was the youngest on the Road Trip.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- Am I the youngest on the Road Trip? - I was the youngest on the Road Trip.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56You're now officially the youngest.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Charles may have lost his junior status,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01but this rather nifty 1969 Morris Minor
0:01:01 > 0:01:03has a good few years on the pair of them.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08New girl in class Christina has got off to a good start.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Well done. Well done, partner.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13But head boy Charles played a blinder,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15winning the next two legs with handsome profits.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Oh, that's it!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Feisty Christina fought back,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22winning the fourth leg thanks to a rattling railway lot.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Brilliant!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25So, it's 2-2.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27It's all to play for on this final leg.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29It's your first ever Road Trip.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I'm a man who's road-tripped about five times now.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34This could be a giant killer.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38This could be Man United being blown away by Accrington Stanley.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Are you calling me Accrington Stanley?- I might be.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Old boy Charles began the trip with £200,
0:01:44 > 0:01:50but has made some handsome profits and now has an impressive £567.84
0:01:50 > 0:01:55to play with, putting him miles ahead in the race to the finish.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Newbie Christina also began with £200
0:01:58 > 0:02:03and has steadily increased her total to a respectable £335.24,
0:02:03 > 0:02:08but with Charles more than £200 ahead she's playing catch-up.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Who will be this trip's victor?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I think the winner will take it all today.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15# The winner takes it all
0:02:16 > 0:02:18# The loser standing tall... #
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Thank you. Well, I am tall.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- I am tall, I'll give you that.- Yeah.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Our experts embarked from Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire
0:02:25 > 0:02:28before weaving over 600 miles around the north of England
0:02:28 > 0:02:32to conclude at Cobridge in Stoke-on-Trent in the Potteries.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Today we're starting out in Harrogate,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37heading east to York then north to Northallerton,
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Masham and Richmond, before auction in Cobridge, Stoke-on-Trent.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Harrogate found fame as a spa town at the end of the 16th century,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48its reputation growing through the 17th century,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51when people came from far and wide to drink the waters.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54The Royal Baths were opened in 1897,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57although only the Turkish bath remains working today.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02With the stakes at two wins each, Charles and Christina are heading
0:03:02 > 0:03:07into the Harrogate Antiques Centre to see who can up the ante today.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Let's go, Christina. 2-2. 2-2.- Best of luck.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13May the best lady or gentleman win, OK? On your mark, get set, go.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Will it be Charles or Christina who finds a winner amongst
0:03:18 > 0:03:21the more than 50 stalls here?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Charles is first off the plot and is guided by Phil,
0:03:23 > 0:03:27who's looking after lots of stallholders' wares today.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31What I'm looking for is something quirky, something a bit different.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32This is quite interesting
0:03:32 > 0:03:36because what we've got here is a painted plaster cherub, Cupid.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Yeah. Well, I think it's just a... - Cherub.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40It's referred to as the Goose Boy.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Why's he the Goose Boy?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Because he's with the goose.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Are your glasses fogged?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Use your eyes, Charles. Let's see how Christina is getting on.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53I'm thinking a little bit of jewellery would be great.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56To beat Charlie I need to make a lot of money.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Which is looking unlikely.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01But it'll be fine. Think positive.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03It's hard to think positively
0:04:03 > 0:04:06when you're being distracted by Mr Hanson's dulcet tones.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07CHARLES LAUGHS
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I can hear him.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Charles' voice does carry a tad. Has anything taken his fancy yet?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Can we very carefully lift her off? - Right.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22What I want to do is just determine what she's made of. She's very heavy.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23If I put her down there...
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Yeah, she is plaster.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Am I loving her?
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Am I feeling her?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Well, clearly, I mean...
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- No...- Oh, lordy.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Just watch where you put those hands, Charles.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- It's not really giving me that love. - OK.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43So, no lighting up Charles' world here.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Has Christina found anything at Roy's stall?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49There's a cabinet of curiosities if ever I saw it.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Oh, that's fun. Can I have a look at the little dish with the owl on top?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57That's rather lovely, isn't it?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59What's your best price on that one, Roy?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Er...- £22 on him.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05£15.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09A neighbouring stallholder, Myra, also has an owl to offer, Christina.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13It's lovely. Is that yours or is that Roy's?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- That's Roy's, that's mine. - That's yours.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Ooh, we've got competition, I like it!
0:05:19 > 0:05:22What's your best price on that one, Myra? That's 35.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Er, 25.
0:05:25 > 0:05:2825. And 15 for that one.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- See, that one makes that one look quite expensive.- 12.- Ooh!
0:05:31 > 0:05:33We've got an auction going on.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35You've got competition with Charles Hanson.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- I have, haven't I? I've really got to win.- I've got to see you win.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- Exactly.- All right. I'll go down to 20!- Oh! I love it, brilliant.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Road Trip fever seems to have gripped Roy and Myra.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48They're slashing their prices like billyo.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52How about 20 for the both of those as a job lot,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- cos I want to buy something off both of you?- 32.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- 32 for the two.- On the two.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Can we say 30 for the two?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Cash, now.- Go on.- Yeah!
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Brilliant! Thank you very much, sir. Thank you, Roy. Thank you, Myra.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Christina's off to a flying start with those two owl-adorned boxes.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Is Charles ready to swoop as well?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18One thing I did see earlier on that is just nagging at me a bit
0:06:18 > 0:06:20is this thing over here.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- The scent bottle.- Yeah.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25This green malachite glass bottle with stopper
0:06:25 > 0:06:28was made in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30If I said to you, what's your best on that...?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- It's priced at 210... - I can do better than that.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- It's a big price and you must make a profit.- My best is 80.- Really?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45I'd want to pay probably about £45. That's my maximum.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49A £210 ticket price down to £45?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51That's quite a proposal, Charles.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Get it sold. If it's not...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- OK. 45.- Sure?- 45.- We've got a deal.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Sold!- Wow!
0:06:57 > 0:06:59He's done it! Clever boy, Charles.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01See ya, gents! Bye!
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Well, they're both off to a good start with those lots.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Back to the road.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Leaving Harrogate, our duo are now heading east to York.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16York is one of England's most historic cities.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Full of stunning architecture,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21it has been a Roman, Saxon and Viking settlement.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24The now-ruined medieval keep of York's ancient castle
0:07:24 > 0:07:27is known as Clifford's Tower.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32While Charles shops, Christina will be exploring York's Viking past.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35But first Charles has a lofty peak to traverse.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Do you know what, Christina? - Yes, my love?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- There's a huge crowd over there. - Yeah.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- I think you go that way, I might go that way.- OK.- Over the hill.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Have fun.- Do you miss me?- Over the hill?- Shall I do this?- Go on, go.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- OK.- Go, go, go! I'll time you. - OK. See you later.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52What on earth are you doing, Charles?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Go on, Charlie! Whoo!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Charles might be stamping his mark on York's medieval monuments,
0:08:02 > 0:08:07but Christina's off to meet Nicky Rodgers at the city's Viking museum.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Hello.- Hello.- Hi, you must be Nicky.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- I am. Hello, nice to meet you. - I'm Christina.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Jorvik opened its doors in 1984
0:08:14 > 0:08:18after a six-year archaeological dig in Coppergate,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21revealing tens of thousands of perfectly preserved
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Viking artefacts.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Vikings came to this area at the end of the eighth century,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30settling in what became known as the city of Jorvik.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Commonly regarded as a violent people,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34they were actually skilled traders
0:08:34 > 0:08:37who integrated with the native population
0:08:37 > 0:08:39and left a wealth of objects buried under York.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Oh, my goodness. What are these?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Well, this is a small sample of the finds that we recovered
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- from the excavations at Coppergate. - So these are actually...
0:08:48 > 0:08:53- These are Viking items?- These are all Viking items, absolutely.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Every one.- This, how old is this?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Well, this is tenth century, so you're talking about, erm...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Over 1,000 years old! - Oh, yes, yes, over that.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Oh, my goodness!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Well, it looks like some sort of brush or comb, or what is it?
0:09:08 > 0:09:09It is a hair comb.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13It's made of antler and obviously beautifully decorated.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Time to get hands-on with the precious artefacts.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21If we have a close look at this... Erm, it's made of a horse long bone.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24What this actually is, is a skate.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- A skate?- An ice skate.- No.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Yes, they're using this to travel across ice.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31The other thing that you might want to think about
0:09:31 > 0:09:34is that their shoes, like this one here,
0:09:34 > 0:09:35which is made of leather,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38are not necessarily going to be terribly waterproof.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41So it's another way of keeping their feet out of the wet.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Out of the snow.- Yes. - This is an original Viking shoe.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47It's reconstructed, but it is original.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51And what they would do is sew the upper to the sole
0:09:51 > 0:09:55and then turn it inside out so that the seam is on the inside.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- So they're called turn shoes because they turned them inside out.- Wow.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I mean, I've got shoes that look in worse condition than that.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02That's amazing.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04The massive Jorvik collection contains many rare artefacts
0:10:04 > 0:10:07of leather and wood which survived over 1,000 years
0:10:07 > 0:10:09underground in waterlogged conditions.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13This actually prevented the air and bacteria from destroying them.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Jewellery expert Christina is naturally drawn
0:10:16 > 0:10:18to the sparkly stuff.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22This is amber. So we have an amber pendant.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Effectively this is jewellery. - It is, absolutely. It is jewellery.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29They certainly liked to look pretty.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34There's certainly plenty of adorning of their bodies going on.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Tell me, I specialise in jewellery and silver and coins,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- and these look like early hammered coins.- They are.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45So what we have here is this is a coin dye.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- This is what would've been used to strike one face of a coin.- Right.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52And then you would put that onto your metal and you would...
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Yes, and we have a modern replica today...
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- Of this?- ..made of the same dye. - Wonderful.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02All these fantastic things up,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I'm totally naive and innocent about the whole thing.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09Were you as surprised as I am to see such an array of domestic items
0:11:09 > 0:11:11in such beautiful condition?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Yes, it's an outstanding assemblage for lots of reasons.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15It's the sheer quantity.
0:11:15 > 0:11:21As I say, this is a very small part, but it's some fascinating things.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24A stunning collection of Viking finds at Jorvik,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27but will Charles find any more treasures to be unearthed
0:11:27 > 0:11:29at the Banana Warehouse?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37He might be leading in the money stakes on this Road Trip,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40but at two legs each it's all to play for on the home straight.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Charles has spotted something in one of Dave Dee's cabinets.
0:11:46 > 0:11:52- Might it be a valuable Steiff bear? - He's definitely an old bear.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Oh, he's sad, isn't he?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56He's really sad because what we've got here,
0:11:56 > 0:11:57he's not a Steiff bear,
0:11:57 > 0:12:01despite this hump and this almost plush honey fur.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04He is long-armed and they are movable
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- and he obviously, I mean, look at his poor nose.- He's been loved.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10He's blown his nose so hard.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11What do you say?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15No, he's poorly, he says. He's so poorly. I know.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17And he could be quite cheap as well.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19If I said to you, Dave, what's your best price on the bear,
0:12:19 > 0:12:21to take a poor little bear away to auction...?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Well, I would think I would be asking £50 for him
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- because he's in the state he's in. - Yeah, what do you think?
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- I think so, yeah. He's a good lad, yeah.- He's not overly sure.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39You know what? I... I'll leave him, Dave, at £50.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I'll say thank you but no, thanks.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Awww. No home for the bear, then.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45And there doesn't seem to be anything else
0:12:45 > 0:12:47catching Charles' eye in here.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51He's going to head down the road to another shop, BBC Antiques.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Hello, sir.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- How are you? Resting merrily, I hope. - Yes, I am, yes.- I'm Charles Hanson.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Good to see you.- Pleased to meet you, sir.- May I browse your emporium?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- You can. Help yourself. - That's very kind.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Now, will this shop be more to Charles' liking?
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Careful now, Charles.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Spider! There's a big spider.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21You really must leave alone, dear boy.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24There's a nice feel in this emporium of antiques.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26There's some really nice objects.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29And first and foremost there's this vase in here which is marked Monart
0:13:29 > 0:13:34and it's Scottish, it captures the essence of the early 20th century.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38£60 isn't a great deal and I think collectors will recognise it
0:13:38 > 0:13:42for being what it is and it could be worth a bit more.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Now, over there Charles has spotted a rather nice Liberty enclosed-style
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Arts and Crafts cabinet.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49It's from the same sort of period.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50It's mahogany...
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I think you'll find it's oak, Charles.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57You've got this wonderful almost sinuous stained-glass effect.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00It's very Art Nouveau.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Charles' wish list is getting rather full,
0:14:02 > 0:14:05and oh, dear, he's spotted something else.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09There's a huge market today for sporting ephemera,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11sporting memorabilia.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15What you want is to find something that really takes you back in time.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19That's interesting. It could make £20, it could make £100.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23And sometimes you've got to gamble.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Now, I think it's about time to step up to the wicket
0:14:25 > 0:14:27and start the ball rolling, Charles.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- These items don't belong to you, do they?- No.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I'm working on behalf of a friend of mine.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- He's over there, isn't he?- Yes.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- He's a bit camera shy, isn't he? - He's a bit camera shy.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41If I bought the cabinet, the Monart glass vase and the cricket ball
0:14:41 > 0:14:45and the last thing was the cane, which, um...
0:14:46 > 0:14:50..I've just seen, actually. I just pulled it out of the, er...
0:14:50 > 0:14:53the bin there. This is Chester hallmarked. If I bought all four...
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Hmm.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57..what's the best price? 150.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00What could you knock the whole lot down for?
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Look at your mate, he's over there.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05I don't want him to fall over with shock, if he falls over.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It's all up to camera-shy Martin.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I can see it. He's saying 120.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14He's saying 120. Would you do the whole lot for £100?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Yes, he says yes. Upset and he's crying now though.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23He's walking away. And that's it. Thanks ever so much.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25But this innings is not over yet.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Our camera-shy dealer has thrown in an extra item as part of the deal,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33an early 20th-century monochrome photograph of a cricket team,
0:15:33 > 0:15:37probably of the era that would've used Charles' cricket ball.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40That's wonderful. What a bonus.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Guys, that's the first time that's ever happened to me.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49Time for our grand young duke and duchess to march out of York
0:15:49 > 0:15:52and regroup, ready for their final day of shopping.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Night-night, boys and girls.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Ah, the sun is shining, but our Charles is mourning his lost youth.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06- I was a young pretender.- Yeah. - You are now the young pretendess.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- The young pretendess. - And you can take me.- Yes, Charles.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11She'll take you to the next shop.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Yesterday Charles shopped till he dropped
0:16:14 > 0:16:19and spent £145 on a scent bottle, an Arts and Crafts cabinet,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22a glass vase, a cane and a cricket ball and stand,
0:16:22 > 0:16:28leaving him with an impressive £422.84 to spend today.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Christina swooped on this feathery lot of owl-adorned boxes,
0:16:32 > 0:16:38spending just £30, meaning she still has £305.24 to claw her way back
0:16:38 > 0:16:41to her first Road Trip series triumph.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Later they'll head south to the potteries for their auction
0:16:44 > 0:16:45in Cobridge, Stoke-on-Trent,
0:16:45 > 0:16:49but our first stop of the day is Northallerton.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- Oh, I say! Look at this. - Look at that bicycle.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56- Look at this shop, Christina. - Well done.- This could be the winner.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- Good luck, enjoy yourself. - Will do.- Bye!
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Oops. Mind how you go there, Charles. Whoopsie!
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Good morning.- Good morning. - How are you?- Very well, thank you.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- What a fine day.- Excellent. - In Northallerton.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Good to see you, I'm Charles Hanson. - Pleased to meet you. Andrew.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16It's the first chance for Charles to buy that quirky lot that will
0:17:16 > 0:17:21lay waste to Christina's hopes of winning her first Road Trip 3-2.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Yeah, we're doing well. Christina, obviously she's done very well,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28she's just beaten me in the last auction, so it's almost like 2-2.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31She's a Shropshire girl, it's Shropshire 2 Derbyshire 2.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Charles just needs to unearth a really special lot to be
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- the decider. - Is there anything market-fresh?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Has anything just come in?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Are there any rich pickings that maybe haven't been
0:17:43 > 0:17:45looked at before already?
0:17:45 > 0:17:46- A couple of bits.- Oh, yeah?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49We've got the prints on the top there from the north-east
0:17:49 > 0:17:51and then we've got some selections in the back.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- These are interesting prints, aren't they?- They are.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Obviously the gentleman on there,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Jimmy Kay, had them published in the 1920s.- Who was Jimmy Kay?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01We believe when we've researched it this gentleman obviously did
0:18:01 > 0:18:03these charcoals and etchings,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05and then he had them published in newspapers as well.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07He's from Harding in County Durham,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10so obviously they're all very mining shots with obviously the mining
0:18:10 > 0:18:13and the sort of north-east Geordie little bit of twang in there
0:18:13 > 0:18:15as well. But they're absolutely fabulous.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16They're wonderful.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20The sad thing is they could only make £35, but sometimes when you've
0:18:20 > 0:18:25got that passion burning inside for real art you want to buy them.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26And the best price would be £80?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- We could probably do them at 50 if you wanted.- Oh, don't say that.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Let's walk on.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Charles is keen but decides to call the auction house
0:18:33 > 0:18:34to get some advice.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Tell me, I'm up here in North Yorkshire now
0:18:38 > 0:18:42and I've come across some very nice pen and ink drawings
0:18:42 > 0:18:47of local scenes of a neighbouring region of the north-east.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Do you think they might sell well from the 1920s?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54The auctioneer's not sure that the drawings would do well
0:18:54 > 0:18:56further afield.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57I'm back, Andrew.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00I've just spoken to the auctioneer in Stoke-on-Trent,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02and there's one thing he can guarantee me
0:19:02 > 0:19:06and that's theatre, drama and romance.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Are you sure that's what the auctioneer said, Charles?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10What's the best price on them?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- 50.- 50, and no less? - No less.- No less, OK.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19They're probably worth anything from £30 upwards. Um...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Make me an offer.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24But you're a Yorkshire man, aren't you?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27You're a Yorkshire man and I'm a Derbyshire man.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- I've got short arms and long pockets.- Exactly.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33If you don't make an offer you never know, but I won't be cheeky.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- I think my offer...- 49.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- Take a chance.- Take a chance...
0:19:41 > 0:19:42..at £30.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- I can do 30.- Are you sure?- You're a nice guy, yes.- Are you sure? Mates!
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Is that mates' rates?- £30.- Are you sure?- Deal.- Is that mates' rates?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- It is. - Well, that's deal done, then.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Charles has got his last lot for the auction
0:19:57 > 0:20:00and Andrew packs up the drawings in the old suitcase they came in.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04While Charles is packing his bags,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Christina is off to Masham for her first shop of the day.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11The pressure is on for her to beat Charles at the next auction,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14but she's still a long way behind in the money stakes.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Will Aura Antiques hold her winning lot?
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Hello.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- You must be Robert.- That's right. - Hi, Robert, I'm Christina.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Hello, Christina. - Nice to meet you. Hi.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30After a quick look at his wares,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Christina makes the owner an offer he can't refuse.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Take me upstairs, Robert. That's not an offer you have every day, is it?
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Hmm, mind your step.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41I love this, how much is this?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- That screen?- Yeah.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- It's a tenner.- A tenner?- Yes.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Why so cheap?
0:20:49 > 0:20:54Well, it's really a shop fitting but I no longer require it.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58But it's a nice funky thing. I don't know how old it is, but it's...
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Well, it's not going to be very old, is it?- No, but it's...
0:21:01 > 0:21:04In fact, I don't think it's very old at all,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07but the prints on it I think have got some age to it, haven't they?
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Yeah.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12OK, well, I've got to make a lot of money.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I think you could do well out of that for a tenner.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- I think, what, a fiver?- Oh, no!
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Oh, go on. Do it for a fiver.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Go on.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Come on, Robert.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25You know you want to.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I'm clearing a space for you, you can put some nice furniture there.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- Go on, then.- A fiver?- Yeah.- You're a legend. I love you, thank you.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Well done, Christina. The killer negotiator strikes again.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Right, so, what have we got in here?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- You've got a lovely little ruby there.- And the turquoise.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Very sweet. I like that. £90.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51The ticket price is £90 on that gold brooch,
0:21:51 > 0:21:52and here's another little gem.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Nine-carat. Is it jade or...?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- Looks Scottish to me. - Hmm. You've got some lovely things.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Come on, Christina. Make a decision, make a decision.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Yes, come on, Christina, do make your mind up, dear.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Right, Robert, I think these two are the ones
0:22:10 > 0:22:12that I'm most interested in.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17That one at £90 and that one at £55.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- But I don't want to pay that. - 100 for the two.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23You couldn't squeeze just a little bit more?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- That would make me a liar.- Would it?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Yes, cos I've just said that's me best.
0:22:30 > 0:22:3295 would be wonderful.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- Go on, then. - You're a star! Thank you very much.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37£95. That's wonderful.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Negotiating on your knees seems to work.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45£95 for the two brooches and a measly fiver for that screen.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Right, so...
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- I owe you £100. It's a round 100, isn't it?- Yes, it is.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Well, that was short and sweet.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Will those brooches raise enough to take Christina ahead of Charles?
0:22:55 > 0:22:56We'll find out at the auction.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- It's been a pleasure.- Thank you.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Thank you very much.- Hope you do well.- So do I!
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Thank you.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Christina and Charles get together again
0:23:04 > 0:23:07and head off to their final shopping destination, Richmond.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Founded in the 11th century by the Normans,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16this market town nestles in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Arriving in Market Place itself,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Christina gives Charles his marching orders.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24He's off to meet Linda Powell
0:23:24 > 0:23:27at the museum of the Green Howards Regiment.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Afternoon.- Good afternoon. - I'm hoping you're Linda Powell.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- I am. Lovely to meet you. - I'm Charles Hanson.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- It's great to be here at your museum. - Thank you.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- May I have a wander round?- Of course. - Can't wait.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Fighting in every major campaign
0:23:39 > 0:23:41from the 17th century through two world wars
0:23:41 > 0:23:43to the Gulf War and Bosnia,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46the regiment had a proud history for over 300 years.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51They became part of the Yorkshire Regiment in 2006.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Regiments were originally named after their colonels.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56The Green Howards were differentiated
0:23:56 > 0:23:58from another regiment, led by a second Colonel Howard,
0:23:58 > 0:24:02as "green" because of the trimmings on their uniforms.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05What has your museum got that you would say is a bit different?
0:24:05 > 0:24:10What can it tell us about the history of our great regiments?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I think what we can do here
0:24:12 > 0:24:14is both tell the story of the great and the good,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17but also the ordinary soldier.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19But more than that, we can tell the story
0:24:19 > 0:24:20of the whole regimental family,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22and that includes women who were married
0:24:22 > 0:24:25and who followed their men throughout their sentry,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28so it's not just about the fighting.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30It's about everyone who was part of the regiment.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33It wasn't uncommon, even as far back as the Crimean War,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36for small numbers of women to accompany their husbands
0:24:36 > 0:24:38to the front line.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40One lady did write about her experiences,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43and we have something called the Green Howards' Gazette.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45After the Crimea, in about the 1890s,
0:24:45 > 0:24:49she wrote in to this magazine to describe her experiences
0:24:49 > 0:24:51during the Crimea, and it's a wonderful account.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Linda reads Margaret Kerwin's account of an attack.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56"The day of the explosion
0:24:56 > 0:24:59"was the most frightful thing that I ever witnessed.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02"It was reported that some Frenchmen got heavy punishment
0:25:02 > 0:25:05"as they had set fire to the English and French magazines
0:25:05 > 0:25:06"which were together.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09"I was on my knees ironing at the time,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11"and my little pet goat lying beside me,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14"when four shells exploded in my tent
0:25:14 > 0:25:16"and covered me all over with earth.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19"There were 28 sheep and 14 bullocks
0:25:19 > 0:25:22"torn to pieces at the back of my tent."
0:25:22 > 0:25:25That just gives you some idea of what she was going through,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27and at the same time, she carries on ironing.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30The museum has some more hard-hitting exhibits.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- So what's this? - It's a piece of somebody's belt
0:25:34 > 0:25:38which, erm...a shot has landed in the middle of it.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39But he survives it.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42He was a bit bruised, but he survived.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- And this was lodged in...? - His belt buckle.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- That's incredible.- Yeah.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49You look at the size of this bullet,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51and I mean, for it just to be lodged there
0:25:51 > 0:25:53and not even penetrate is incredible.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57The stunning medals room reflects the honours awarded
0:25:57 > 0:25:59to members of the regiment.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I feel, Linda, like I should be walking like...
0:26:02 > 0:26:07- A proper officer.- A true officer, because this room is just startling.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10And so revealing, isn't it? Tell me about it.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13You've got over 5,000 medals in this room,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16including 18 Victoria Crosses.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- 18 Victoria Crosses?!- Yeah. - And of course, the Victoria Cross...
0:26:20 > 0:26:23It's the highest award you can be awarded.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28Less than 1,400 Victoria Crosses have been awarded
0:26:28 > 0:26:33in the 157 years since its inception.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Awarded for valour in the face of the enemy,
0:26:35 > 0:26:39the medals have traditionally been cast of metal from Russian cannons
0:26:39 > 0:26:41captured during the Crimean War.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47You stand in a room like this and you feel very small.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50You feel very small for what these great men
0:26:50 > 0:26:54achieved in their lifetimes and for what they did for us today.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58It's said very frequently, but to be in this room now,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00just surrounded, it just...
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Well, it takes your breath away, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Absolutely, Charles.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Heading into York House Antiques,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14it's Christina's last chance to find that hidden treasure
0:27:14 > 0:27:18which will take her ahead of Charles and win her the day.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- Oh, hello.- Hi.- How do you do? - I'm Christina, how are you?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- I'm Christina, too. - Are you? Oh, my goodness!
0:27:25 > 0:27:30Heading upstairs, our Christina's on a mission to hammer home a bargain.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Maybe that's what I need as my new gavel.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39This little...tile here...
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Great subject - look at him, bless him.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47This poor little caged bird, looking at these beautiful moths,
0:27:47 > 0:27:50which are all out and free, and he's stuck behind his cage.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Quite a sad subject, really.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Oh, but great that it's Mintons.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Absolutely brilliant - Stoke-on-Trent.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Minton was one of the best-known of the Stoke potteries,
0:28:01 > 0:28:05founded by Thomas Minton at the end of the 18th century.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Time to see if that damage can help Christina get the price down.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Um...yeah, nice tile, but unfortunate about this crack.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15What's your best price on that?
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Because I wouldn't be looking to pay anything near that, because...
0:28:18 > 0:28:19I wouldn't either.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21THEY LAUGH
0:28:21 > 0:28:23- I don't think so, no. - Because of this damage.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I mean, literally, I was thinking a fiver.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Literally, because of this.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- But I do like it.- It is nice, yes.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- I would say yes, OK.- For a fiver? Oh, you're a genius! Wow, OK.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Another item for a fiver - cheeky girl.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42I'm really pleased with that,
0:28:42 > 0:28:46because I wanted to buy something that would go with the area,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49and I mean, it's even got Stoke-on-Trent on the back.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52No, I'm really pleased with that. Thank you very much.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55That's my last purchase. Fantastic.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Well, that's Christina's final lot.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Will her purchases earn enough profit
0:29:00 > 0:29:04for her to overtake Charles' lead of over £200?
0:29:04 > 0:29:08Time to see what each other has bought. Charles first.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10# Da-da-da-da-da-da... #
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Ooh, that's nice.- Voila!
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- Ooh!- OK, Christina, talk to me about my wares.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21- Ooh, what's that?- Let me tell you - that's a late Victorian cricket ball.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24We were at Headingley a few days ago.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- It just has a bit of summertime feel about it.- Absolutely.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- And we can't miss this.- It's just a really good-looking cabinet.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- It's Art Nouveau.- Lovely. What did you pay for that?
0:29:34 > 0:29:37It wasn't cheap - £40.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Liberty's style may have waned slightly in popularity,
0:29:40 > 0:29:42but it's still quite a bargain.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- So what's this?- This is a box which was found in an attic
0:29:46 > 0:29:48with these wonderful pen and ink drawings.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51They cost me £30, and I just think
0:29:51 > 0:29:55they have the heartbeat of the Road Trip with them
0:29:55 > 0:29:56- because they're unique.- Exactly.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Even though they're not by an old master,
0:29:59 > 0:30:03can Christina's five lots compare to those of the young master?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Oh, that's...oh, crikey! That's really nice.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09Oh, that's really nice.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Don't look round here, you probably don't want to look round here.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- What's over there?- Nothing... - Is there a hole in it?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18- Oh, no!- A small hole. Just a very, very, very...
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Did it happen before you bought it or after? Was it there?
0:30:20 > 0:30:26- It was already there. - I bet it cost you...£55.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- How much?- Lower.- Oh, not a lot lower.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- £35.- Lower.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Oh, don't do this to me. Not a tenner?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- Lower.- Oh, dear me. I might as well go home now.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- Are you being serious? £5? - It cost me £5.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Oh, Christina.- That's not bad, is it? - You know what?
0:30:41 > 0:30:45- This is far from over, you know? - Do you want to see the rest?- Yeah.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Doesn't look very impressive, does it? There we go.- Oh, crikey.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50This is my last purchase, which I love...
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- Aesthetic Minton? - Very much so.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- It has got a huge crack in it. - Oh, I love that.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59But it cost you...knowing you, it probably cost you, like, £15.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Lower.- Oh, dear me! Are you being serious?
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- £5. Yeah.- Oh, my dear! Five and five! OK, keep going.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08I haven't really spent very much,
0:31:08 > 0:31:10but this is where it gets a bit interesting,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13because I bought these - this one I'm particularly excited about,
0:31:13 > 0:31:16because I think that could be quite interesting.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Nine-carat gold, hallmarked.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22But just underneath that nine-carat gold stamp is an initial.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24S...possibly D.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- Sibyl Dunlop.- Oh, of course!
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Sibyl Dunlop was one of the most respected and collectable
0:31:29 > 0:31:3220th-century makers working between the wars.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36I reckon you'd probably paid, for the two together...£80?
0:31:36 > 0:31:40Oh, I paid £95. I did pay quite a lot for them.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43But, knowing you, I thought they'd be, like, £5 each.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Knowing how you've done so far.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- Good luck.- Good luck. Well done.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48THEY LAUGH
0:31:48 > 0:31:49Well done.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Let's get our experts alone and see if the gloves come off.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55I like what he's bought, I really like what he's bought.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I love his Liberty cupboard.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59It's not overly in vogue at the moment,
0:31:59 > 0:32:01but with that name attached to it, it should do really well.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03He's done a great job with that.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I like his Monart vase.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07I think to pay £25 for that was an absolute steal.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09He did really well with that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13But those pen and ink drawings were just...just gorgeous, love those.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Icing on the cake, just totally unique.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16He's absolutely right.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18I think he's pulled a bit of a blinder with those.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22I don't know what Christina did to actually merit and justify
0:32:22 > 0:32:25buying these cheap objects - £5 for a screen, unbelievable.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29The tile - OK, it was £5, but it had a big crack in,
0:32:29 > 0:32:30but it is local interest.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32But the screen's a wonderful item.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35They are hard to sell, but that £5 will happily turn,
0:32:35 > 0:32:38in my opinion, into £40.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41That wonderful little Deco oval brooch could really fly.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45She's bought really well. Really nervous about this.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48After starting out in Harrogate, heading east to York,
0:32:48 > 0:32:51then north to the Richmond area,
0:32:51 > 0:32:54the last stretch of our trip heads back south, to the Potteries,
0:32:54 > 0:32:57and concludes at an auction in Cobridge,
0:32:57 > 0:32:58Stoke-on-Trent.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Cobridge was once known as the global heart
0:33:01 > 0:33:02of the ceramics industry.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Josiah Wedgwood founded the first of Stoke's many potteries
0:33:06 > 0:33:07in the 18th century,
0:33:07 > 0:33:11and today, the area remains a thriving industry.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Our intrepid duo are finally arriving at their showdown
0:33:14 > 0:33:16at ASH Auctions.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- This is quite daunting, isn't it? - I'm excited!
0:33:20 > 0:33:24This is the last one, but also...it's the big one.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- Oh.- Isn't it? - Well, good luck.- Good luck.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Opened in 1994, the auction house holds weekly general sales.
0:33:32 > 0:33:37Founding partner Lee Sherratt will man the gavel at today's auction.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39So, what does he think of our experts' offerings?
0:33:42 > 0:33:46The display cabinet is, erm...OK.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Liberty & Co, good name.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52The condition does let it down slightly.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56The Monart glass vase, it's...an unusual item, but, uh...
0:33:57 > 0:34:00I doubt if that'll do very well, really.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03The outstanding item, for me, is the nine-carat gold brooch.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08Stamped on the back, "SD", which should be Sibyl Dunlop,
0:34:08 > 0:34:12and if this is the case, I'm sure it'll go well.
0:34:12 > 0:34:18Charles Hanson started this final leg with £567.84p,
0:34:18 > 0:34:22and spent £175 on five lots.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Christina Trevanion started with £335.24p
0:34:26 > 0:34:29and spent £135, also on five lots.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Charles is more than £200 ahead of Christina -
0:34:33 > 0:34:36could she steal the trip from him at the last moment?
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Let the games begin!
0:34:39 > 0:34:41First up is Christina's brooch,
0:34:41 > 0:34:43that may or may not be by Sibyl Dunlop.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45But what will the bidders think?
0:34:45 > 0:34:46£50, straight in on commission.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48£50, it's on sale at £50.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50At £50, bid at 55, can I see?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52At £50, bid £55. Are you carrying on?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Still on commissions. Carry on, Jeff.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57AUCTIONEER: 55, 65, 75, 78.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Up to £78 on commission bids, £78.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02At £78, all done?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Finishes at £78.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- It's great.- Phew!- That's great, well done, that's great!
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Splendid! Keep it up, Christina, and you might just catch him.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Next up, Charles' first lot, the Monart glass vase
0:35:16 > 0:35:19that the auctioneer doesn't think will fare well.
0:35:19 > 0:35:2125 on bid. 25, straight in. I thought you would.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- Look at the hands! - Look at the hands!
0:35:24 > 0:35:2535. 35, 40.
0:35:25 > 0:35:2840 bid, 5, 45. 50, 55. 55, 60.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31At £55 on my right. At...
0:35:31 > 0:35:3460, fresh money standing. 60, 65, 65, 70.
0:35:34 > 0:35:3670 I'm bid.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37- Go on! One more!- 75...
0:35:37 > 0:35:4080, 80 I'm bid. 85. 85, 90.
0:35:40 > 0:35:4290 I'm bid now. 95, 95 - top it up?
0:35:42 > 0:35:44One more! One more!
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Bid £100, and five. He's out now, you see?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49At £100. At £100.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Selling at £100, selling...
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Oh, he hasn't finished yet, Lee.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55£105, back in, seated.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56105, 105.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Have another go, madam. 110.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01100...108, then. 108, I'm tempting you.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06At £105, then. First time, second time, at £105...
0:36:07 > 0:36:09SHE LAUGHS
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Well, now! The auctioneer got it wrong on that one.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14That's a massive profit for Charles.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Will Christina's bargain-basement screen shield her
0:36:17 > 0:36:19from impending disaster?
0:36:19 > 0:36:20£20 to get on, somebody.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23£20 - come on, it's worth that, surely?
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Come on, Christina - gallop it. Canter...
0:36:25 > 0:36:26£20 for it. £15 for it.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- Ugh...- £15 for it - come on, it's got to be worth that?
0:36:29 > 0:36:31£10. £10 for it.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35- Hey! She's bid on it. - It's cheap at £10 - come on.
0:36:35 > 0:36:41Well short. I'll sell it at £10, all done. Maiden bid for only £10.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Double the money there, but double a fiver isn't much,
0:36:44 > 0:36:46and she's still lagging behind.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Next, it's Charles's Liberty-style cabinet.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52£50 - it's got to be worth that. £50. £40, bid me.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55£40 bid. Great buy at £40.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- That's good. - This is very cheap at £40.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58I'll take £50, if you like. 50.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02At 55, now five. 55, 60. 60 bid, now 65.
0:37:02 > 0:37:0465, 70. 70...
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Good girl...- 75.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- At 75.- Go on!- At 75. Commission bidder.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15- At £75, then...- Yes, 80! Sorry...
0:37:15 > 0:37:18£80 for it. You can't do that!
0:37:18 > 0:37:19£80 bid, 80 bid.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Keep your hands down!
0:37:22 > 0:37:24For you, madam, £80. Commissions are now out.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29At £80, then, once, twice...third and final time, 80...
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Well done, Charles. So, what's that?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34I must calm down, I'm so excited! Sorry!
0:37:34 > 0:37:38After being physically restrained from joining in,
0:37:38 > 0:37:39Charles doubles his money there.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43Christina's next lot, the Victorian snake brooch.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- £50 commission, straight in. - Great.- £50, straight in, here.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49I'll take five, if you like. £50, take five.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51If not, commissions still in. Carry on, Jeff.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56AUCTIONEER: 50, 60. 60, 70. 73.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59We're up to £73 now on commission. 73, is there 75 anywhere?
0:37:59 > 0:38:03If not, then it's straight to commission at £73.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Not bad. Is she catching Charles yet?
0:38:06 > 0:38:10Will his scent bottle have the sweet smell of success?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Straight in, we've got a commission bid of £50.- Good lad!
0:38:13 > 0:38:15At £50, where's 55?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18This is a belter. At £50, where's 55? I should think so.
0:38:18 > 0:38:2255, 60. At £60, where's 65? Go on, it's worth more than this.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Straight to a commission bidder.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28- Five. At 65, 70. At £70, at £75. - One more!
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Now 80. £80 bid.- Go on, one more!
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- It's only money!- One more! - Commission bidder gets it.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- At £80, the hammer's up... - Hold on...
0:38:38 > 0:38:43So, £80 for that fragrant lot. He's ahead by more than a nose now.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Will Christina's tile fire up some interest back in its home town?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48£30 - can I see 20?
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- £20, £20...- Go!
0:38:50 > 0:38:53£20 bid on the right-hand side. I'll take two, if you like.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58If not...maiden bidder at £20, the hammer's up.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Quadruple! You know...
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Well, that was quick! Top marks, Christina.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06It's the turn of Charles' pen and ink drawings.

0:39:51 > 0:39:5515, can I see 15? Give me ten to get on, somebody. £10.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56At £10, front row...

0:41:03 > 0:41:06Well, Christina wasn't out for a duck,
0:41:06 > 0:41:09but I think it was Charles who scored a six there.

0:41:37 > 0:41:41Charles may have seen off the threat from the young pretender Christina,
0:41:41 > 0:41:44but she's not letting his victory go to his head.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46- She's still in charge of the keys. - Eh, where are you going?
0:41:46 > 0:41:49You may have won, but your driving is still atrocious.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51- Hand over the keys.- Come on!
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Listen, this is a built-up area! Surely it's a man's prerogative?
0:41:55 > 0:41:58No, not this time. No, I want to go home alive.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00SHE LAUGHS
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Come on.- It's been a wonderful journey, Christina.- Good, I'm glad.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07On behalf of Queen and country, it's been wonderful with you.
