0:00:02 > 0:00:05- It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.- All right, viewers?
0:00:05 > 0:00:10With £200 each, a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12I'm on fire. Yes!
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Sold, going, going, gone.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction but it's no mean feat.
0:00:17 > 0:00:22- 50p.- There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23You've had it a while, haven't you?
0:00:23 > 0:00:28So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- Oh!- Oh, no.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41On this road trip two antiquarian aces are driving a hard bargain.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Well, darling, today you can drive me.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47You're meant to be driving me for two days.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53- But I have to say, I just decided I wanted to live.- Charming.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58James Lewis is a Derbyshire auctioneer
0:00:58 > 0:01:01and valuer never afraid to strike while the hammer is hot.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04I know a few auctioneers who could use that.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Whilst Anita Manning is a chatty Glaswegian gavel-meister
0:01:08 > 0:01:11who's a friend to all she meets.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14How do you do, Frederick? Hello.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19On the last leg James made a serious bundle on the Chinese blue
0:01:19 > 0:01:20and white vase.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29- I think you're about £7,000 ahead of me now.- Not quite that far ahead.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Both of our daring duo started this trip with £200.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39So far Anita has managed to trade that up to a healthy...
0:01:42 > 0:01:44But James is as rich as Rockefeller holding a whopping...
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Cash!
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Today they're driving a groovy gal. The 1969 Volkswagen Beetle.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59This road trip they began in Oxfordshire
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and will travel through the well upholstered southern counties of
0:02:02 > 0:02:07England to end up at auction in our nation's stately capital, London.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13On this show they begin near Lacock in Wiltshire,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16heading for auction in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20They're supposed to be on their way to a shop.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Car boot sale.- Oh, hang on. - Let's go and have a look there.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28That's where the bargains will be had. Look! Let's do it, yes?
0:02:30 > 0:02:35In the usual haphazard fashion they're making an unplanned stop at
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Lacock car boot sale which is about four miles from the centre of Chippenham.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45This bustling car boot runs in the summer months, weather permitting.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47ANITA LAUGHS
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- Nice to see you.- And James soon has his eye on a pair of objects.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00There we go. A pair of true fire dogs.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03These fire dogs or andirons would stand in the hearth
0:03:03 > 0:03:07and support a large log or a basket, helping to create a warming blaze.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11The stallholder who owns them,
0:03:11 > 0:03:16Oliver, James's sartorial twin has priced the pair at £40.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20These are French provincial. They're about 1860/1870.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24True to form, James is going to try a cheeky offer.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- I'll give you 14 quid for them. - Gosh.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- I think they might make 20 at the auction.- 16 and we've dealt.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Dead easy. There you go.
0:03:34 > 0:03:3616, there you go.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Right...- And he's spotted something else at Oliver's stall.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44One of my biggest spot spots is for snuff boxes
0:03:44 > 0:03:49and this little chap is about 1850/1860.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52It's turned wood and therefore treen.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58It's not worth very much money at all, but it's just quite sweet.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Will another cheeky offer fly?- I will give you two quid for that box.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- It's cracked and it's lost its top. - It's lovely.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- Go on.- No.- Three.- Certainly not. Four. I came down tons on that one.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Four.- Thank you very much.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Careful, sir.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Oliver sticks to his guns but £4 is enough to buy the box, eh.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Anita meanwhile is, as usual, trying on some headgear.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26STAR WARS THEME PLAYS
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I'm not sure that dealer's impressed, Anita.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Lordy.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43James is at least looking at antiques.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48These are interesting. Only two of them there, which is a real shame.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53An early 19th century fire shovel and a pair of tongs.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Sadly, now separated from the poker that would have completed the set.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03And he's also found a toasting fork.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Probably dating from a little earlier.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06There's no ticket price on them.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09He's thinking of incorporating all three into a lot with
0:05:09 > 0:05:11the fire dogs he's already bought.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16That makes a more respectable lot for an auction. What would buy those?
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- £4.- I'm going to be a mean git and offer you two.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Go on then.- Is that all right? There you go. You've got yourself a deal.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Hello, darling. How did you get on?- Not too bad.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Anita hasn't found anything here so they're going to get back on track.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Let's roll.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45They're finally back on the road and aiming for Bath.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Gorgeous Bath with its fine Georgian architecture is
0:05:50 > 0:05:53justly famed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site
0:05:53 > 0:05:56and one of the loveliest destinations in the UK.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I like Bath. Have you been here before?
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- I have been here before and I absolutely love it.- Glad to hear it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08What better place for them to continue their day?
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Here we go.
0:06:15 > 0:06:21- James, isn't this absolutely wonderful?- Beautiful, isn't it?
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- James, I've got to go shopping. I've got lots to do.- Indeed you do, Anita.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29She's strolling off into Old Bank Antiques Centre where she's
0:06:29 > 0:06:31meeting dealer Alex.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Hi, Alex.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36How lovely to be in Bath. That a wonderful place.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Lovely place, isn't it?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40This centre incorporates 11 different
0:06:40 > 0:06:43dealers as well as one feline friend.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Meow.- What's his name? - His name is Frederick Augustus.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Hello, Frederick.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55Are you Frederick? Are you Frederick? How do you do, Frederick?
0:06:55 > 0:07:01- Hello.- Stop chatting up the locals, Anita. There are buys to be found.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07And soon, something on the walls put a gleam in her eye.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15My eye was drawn to this mirror. By this wonderful horse.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18And horseman, he's quite good looking too.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22What we have in the top is an engraving and underneath a mirror.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27But this image is so splendid and so beautiful and he has the best
0:07:27 > 0:07:28and proudest of steed.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34It probably dates from the early 19th century. Ticket price is £85.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- That's too steep. - So Alex will have to be consulted.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- Alex!- Hello.- I was quite taken by this mirror here.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Do you know anything about this print?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Do you know who the character is? To me it looks like...
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Looks a little bit like the Duke of Wellington.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- With that nose. - Could it be the Duke of Wellington?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59He was very much a hero in the early part of the 19th century.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02It might indeed be the first Duke of Wellington.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Hero of the Napoleonic battle of Waterloo.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08What do you think, Frederick?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Frederick is tight lipped on the subject.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12So, what could Alex do on the price?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Could you do 40 on that?
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- Yes, go on.- We'll go for that. That's fine.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Thank you very much, Alex. Thank you.- Marvellous.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27A super, less than half-price deal on the mirror.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31But Anita's got her eye on another celebratory item.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35This is really just a bit of fun.
0:08:35 > 0:08:42- This crazy ice bucket and is there any champagne in there?- No.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Thankfully.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47It's a modern plastic ice bucket in the shape of a top hat
0:08:47 > 0:08:50along with a display bottle, sans champagne.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Not exactly antique, is it, Anita? But festive.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57What could it be bought for, £8?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Yes, go on then.- For fun.- Why not?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Done. She's got her two lots in this shop and she's charging on.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Very natty, Anita.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Now, James is less than a mile away
0:09:19 > 0:09:23and about to wander off into his first shop proper.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28Brian and Caroline Craik Ltd where the proprietress boasts
0:09:28 > 0:09:31a family connection to one of James's fellow antiques experts
0:09:31 > 0:09:33and former rival on the Road Trip.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Ow! That's my head.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44I'm feeling slightly nervous as the lady who owns this shop is
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Thomas Plant's auntie.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Now, if anyone knows this game really well it's going to be her.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57As Bertie Wooster often observed, there are bad aunts and good aunts.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Which will Thomas's auntie Caroline turn out to be, I wonder?
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- Welcome, David....- Hello there. - ..to my emporium.- Nice to see you.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13- I do like that hat.- Thank you. - Let's see it on. Oh, yes.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Good aunt, definitely.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21James has soon spied something that attracts him.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25That's an interesting bit of furniture.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30It's a Chinese occasional table fashioned from rosewood
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- and dating from around 1900. - This is lovely.
0:10:33 > 0:10:39The quality of this little hook here and the lovely line of the leg...
0:10:40 > 0:10:44..is exactly what people are looking for in this Chinese furniture.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Caroline had a price of £225 in mind for the table but, of course,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52James is keen to negotiate. Stand by.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58- Is there much movement there? - Well, 175?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I've got to pay full commission at auction, as well.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Well, we all do.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Quite right, Caroline. I think James has met his match here.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- 100 quid?- No.- 110?- No.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- I'm afraid not.- How about 130 and I'm pretty much there.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26- If you say 150, OK, I'll let it go. - James is tempted.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27- You got a deal.- Woo!
0:11:28 > 0:11:33Deal done at £150. It's not like James to splash his cash.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Let's hope the gavel pays off.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Now, Anita has travelled about 14 miles onwards to the
0:11:40 > 0:11:42town of Frome in Somerset.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Attractive Frome is known for its lively cultural scene
0:11:48 > 0:11:52so lets hope Anita can harness some of that energy as she heads
0:11:52 > 0:11:56for her next shop, Cobwebs where she's meeting dealer Alan.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Hello, Alan.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- Hi, Anita. How are you? - I'm good thank you.- Nice to see you.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04What about this wee guy here. Tell me about him.
0:12:04 > 0:12:10I think this wee guy is great fun. It's a teddy bear, knitting.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Is he working.- It works.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14MUSIC: "O Fortuna"
0:12:19 > 0:12:20He's pretty scary.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Those eyes that light up in the dark,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31would that not terrify the life out of a child?
0:12:40 > 0:12:45- He's very...arresting. - Certainly something about him.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46You can say that again.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51Let's see if we've got a little maker's mark here.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54This is a Japanese one.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59It is indeed a Japanese automaton toy bear with light up eyes
0:12:59 > 0:13:00dating from the 1950s.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Ticket price is £65.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Anita seems keen on it but will need to seek a substantial discount.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I would like to have a go at that for fun.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19But I would like to be talking to you
0:13:19 > 0:13:23in the region of £20.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27I think my best price would be 35.
0:13:28 > 0:13:34- Well, its...- That's a good price. - Would £25 buy him?
0:13:34 > 0:13:39- Can we go anywhere in that sort of region?- OK.- We can do it for 25.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43That's absolutely wonderful. Thank you, very much.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47I'm hoping that he will do well and somebody will fall in love with him.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48He's positively hypnotic.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Anita's got the bear for a bargain £25, which is
0:13:53 > 0:13:56marvellous as long as she keeps it away from me.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Thank you. Bye-bye. Take care. - Bye-bye.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05James, meanwhile is still back in Bath.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09He's heading for the Herschel Museum of Astronomy which tells
0:14:09 > 0:14:14the story of one 18th century Bath residents stellar achievements.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18He's meeting museum volunteer and astrophysicist Rebecca.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- Rebecca, hi.- Hi, James. Welcome to the Herschel Museum.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25- Let's go inside.- Lovely.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29William Herschel was a German-born musician who moved to Bath
0:14:29 > 0:14:33in 1766 and indeed into this very house.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Herschel was to go on to become the first astronomer to discover
0:14:40 > 0:14:43a planet in our solar system since ancient times.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47But it was his outstanding talent in music that first brought him
0:14:47 > 0:14:48to Bath.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53He was appointed the music director at the newly built
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Octagon Chapel for the high society of Bath.- OK.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02William soon settled into his new role and his place in Bath society.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03But this intelligent
0:15:03 > 0:15:08and determined man also embarked on a varied programme of self-education.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13William taught himself English and then he taught himself mathematics.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18- OK.- He studied optics and became quite interested in astronomy.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Astronomy was very popular with society.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23It was the fashionable thing to do.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27At a dinner party you get out a telescope and have a look for things.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30So he took it up as a hobby originally
0:15:30 > 0:15:32and borrowed some telescopes.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Tried to find some things.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36And decided he was quite disappointed with them
0:15:36 > 0:15:39and thought, "I can do better than this." And that's really where
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- he started because his telescopes are the best in the world.- Really.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Remarkably, Herschel crafted these remarkably sophisticated telescopes
0:15:48 > 0:15:53right here in this very house and using skills he taught himself.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57He had the talents to do it. Which he did all from scratch.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59He turned this shop basically into workshop.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04Every room was full of speculum metal, polishing mirrors, lathes.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Lovely. And you've still got workshops here?- Yes, we do.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Love to see. Yeah? Come on.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17Oh, golly. Right, so what's all this?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21These are the tools he used to make his mirrors for his own telescopes.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24This is the speculum metal they use for the mirrors.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26An alloy of copper and tin.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30These precisely shaped mirrors were the secret to Herschel's
0:16:30 > 0:16:32powerful, home-made telescopes.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Using them, he made his most famous discovery.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39They are heading outside to see the spot where it happened.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42This is Herschel's garden where he used to bring his telescopes.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45And we think this is the area of the garden where
0:16:45 > 0:16:46he first discovered a new planet.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50When he first observed the new celestial body,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Herschel thought it might be a comet.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55However, further observation by Herschel
0:16:55 > 0:16:59and others revealed it to be Uranus.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01The first new planet found in our solar system
0:17:01 > 0:17:03since at least the ancient Greeks.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07It brought him world fame.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11And his telescopes, which suddenly became well known
0:17:11 > 0:17:15over the world, were ordered by many of the best astronomers.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Herschel went on to make many more contributions to science,
0:17:19 > 0:17:23including the discovery of infrared radiation.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27And was appointed the King's astronomer by George III.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31There were always annoying children at school who were
0:17:31 > 0:17:33good at sport, good at music, good at science.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- He was just one of those, wasn't he? - Yeah. It wasn't even school for him.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39He was self taught.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42An inspiring individual but it's time for James to be on his way.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51And with that, it's the end of a jam packed first day. Nighty-night.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58But the morning finds them back on the road
0:17:58 > 0:18:01and soaking up the ancient environment.
0:18:01 > 0:18:07Look at that wonderful, big standing stone. Oh, millions of them. Wow!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11That's Avebury Stone Circle.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Like nearby Stonehenge a mysterious megalithic site.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17It really made an impression on Anita.
0:18:18 > 0:18:24- I can feel the energy surging through me. Can you?- No.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Anita, that is the extra latte you had for breakfast.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31That has nothing to do with the standing stones.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35So far Anita's spent £73 on three lots.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38The mirror, which might depict Wellington,
0:18:38 > 0:18:42the novelty ice bucket and the special bear.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Whilst James has been unusually profligate by comparison
0:18:47 > 0:18:49spending £172 on three lots.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55The fire dogs and the fire tools, the treen snuff box and the Chinese table.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00They're driving to the town of Marlborough in Wiltshire.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06Handsome Marlborough earned its royal charter in 1204.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Local public school Marlborough College counts poet
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Sir John Betjeman and actor
0:19:12 > 0:19:15James Mason amongst its august alumni.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Let's hope James
0:19:17 > 0:19:20and Anita prove themselves as well educated as they aim
0:19:20 > 0:19:24for their first shop of the day, the Marlborough Parade Antiques Centre.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- James, this looks wonderful. - Looks nice, doesn't it?
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Aw, this looks great.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32They're meeting dealers Gary and Robert.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Hello.- I'm Anita. - I'm Gary, pleased to meet you.
0:19:38 > 0:19:46- This is my big pal James.- This is Robert.- Best get browsing, you two.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55It can be a bit tricky shopping in the same place as James Lewis
0:19:55 > 0:19:59because he's always following you about.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Trying to see what bargains you're trying to get.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04But it looks like someone else is following James around.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06That's Eric, the shop's pooch.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Now then, where are the bargains? Where are the bargains?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Soon enough, Anita spies something almost as cute.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21She's found a pair of Art Nouveau metal earrings with seed pearls.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Ticket price is £49.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Of course, Anita wants to negotiate, but Gary is being quite strict about
0:20:28 > 0:20:31the shop's policy of discounting no more than 10% for trade.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Think the dealer would give us a wee bit more than 10%?- She won't
0:20:39 > 0:20:43do much more than that because they're reasonable, aren't they?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- They're nice. How low would she go?- 42.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Gary's sticking at that price.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50She's tempted and she's spotted another two
0:20:50 > 0:20:53pieces of jewellery in another cabinet, as well.
0:20:54 > 0:21:00- And the dog.- We've got these big sort of...
0:21:00 > 0:21:04They're like Cairngorms but they're big bits of show.
0:21:05 > 0:21:101950s, they've got that sort of 1950s look about them.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14It's two brooches inset with large gemstones which looks similar
0:21:14 > 0:21:18to the Cairngorm quartz native to Anita's Caledonian homeland.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Combined ticket price on the two is £19
0:21:23 > 0:21:27and it doesn't sound like Gary's open to negotiation.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- Don't even try it.- Oh, right.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32You're a mean beastie.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36So can I have them for 19, surely you'd take your 10% off.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41- Not on those. Anything under 20. - Is that your rule?- That is our rule.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48OK, darling. We'll see what happens. It's worth taking a chance on.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50But Anita will take the pair for £19,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53as well as the earrings for £42.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58But in a last ditch attempt to sweeten the deal, Anita wants Gary
0:21:58 > 0:22:02to throw in some jewellery boxes she can use to display her baubles.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Ah, you brilliant man. Yes. That's the box for it.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Because these have got a sort of slightly Scottish look about them.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- Good.- Brilliant man. Thank you very much.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Her trinkets packaged up nicely, Anita's all bought up
0:22:19 > 0:22:21and on her way.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Meanwhile, James has wondered outside
0:22:25 > 0:22:26and has found an item of his own.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31It's a carpenter's trunk.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37These things were popular in the 19th century.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40In fact, right the way through to the 1920s.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44And carpenters would have a trunk like this that would be
0:22:44 > 0:22:46full of their little tools.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53It's fashioned of pine and probably dates from the late 1800s.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57It was marked up at a hefty £150, but since it's been sitting
0:22:57 > 0:23:01outside dealer Robert seems to be in a generous mood.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06- Give me £50.- 30 quid. - I can't.- Can't you?
0:23:08 > 0:23:15- I wish I could.- 35?- £40 and we have a deal.- You've got a deal. 40 quid.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Well... It's worth a bash at that.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Another lot in the bag and James does seem to be in luck
0:23:23 > 0:23:28today as he shortly enlisted Gary's help in finding another bargain.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Just found that in the back room.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36- At least it's an original.- It's a pastel, is it?- Pastel, yeah.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38# The tears of a clown
0:23:38 > 0:23:42# When there's no-one around. #
0:23:42 > 0:23:46It is indeed a fairly modern pastel drawing of a clown.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Gary's willing to kick off the negotiation at £15.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53But James is ever ready to go lower.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Fiver.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Are you trying to rob me? - No.- Trying to rob me, bankrupt me?
0:24:03 > 0:24:0912.50 and that hurt. How about 7.50. Straight into the soft underbelly.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14You're crippling me. Tenner and it's yours.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19- Eight.- Tenner.- Tenner. - Thank you very much.- Ten quid.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Terrific. With that last buy he's wandering onwards.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Now, having bought all her items, Anita's back in the car.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34She's driving to Swindon in Wiltshire.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40This afternoon she's in luck. Anita's always loved trains.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43And she's aiming for the Museum of the Great Western Railway.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Which celebrates the area's strong connection to the steam age of rail.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51These big, big engines.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Anita's meeting assistant curator Elaine Arthurs.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04- Hi, I'm Elaine. Welcome to STEAM. - Thank you. I'm so excited to be here.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08This is really the Mecca for all those
0:25:08 > 0:25:11who are interested in the story of the railway.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13It is.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Running its first train in 1838,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Great Western Railway was amongst the most impressive British
0:25:18 > 0:25:20engineering achievements of the 19th century.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25The railway network was the masterpiece of its chief
0:25:25 > 0:25:28engineer, the legendary Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32The museum occupies a railway
0:25:32 > 0:25:34building on the former site of Swindon Works.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37The manufacturing hub of the Great Western Railway.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39At the height of its powers,
0:25:39 > 0:25:44capable of producing three enormous steam locomotives per week.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46It's here that they made all their locomotives.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Some of the most iconic in the world.
0:25:48 > 0:25:54I'm dying to see these huge monumental steam engines.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Can you take me and show me them? - Of course. We've got loads.- Lovely.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03In the 18th and 19th Centuries a small group of engineers
0:26:03 > 0:26:07and scientists made innovations that fuelled the huge social
0:26:07 > 0:26:10upheaval we know as the Industrial Revolution.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Central to this was steam power.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16The technology refined and commercialised by James Watt
0:26:16 > 0:26:19and Matthew Boulton in the late 1700s.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24The steam engine was adapted for use in trains in the early
0:26:24 > 0:26:26decades of the 19th century and, of course,
0:26:26 > 0:26:30these new trains needed expanded rail networks on which to run.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38This is where Isambard Kingdom Brunel demonstrated his genius.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42For the Great Western Railway Brunel designed a system of tracks,
0:26:42 > 0:26:46bridges, tunnels and viaducts that revolutionised engineering
0:26:46 > 0:26:50and transformed both transport and the British landscape.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52He was a man of tremendous vision
0:26:52 > 0:26:56and he created a wonderful network of railways.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00It covered a wide area ranging from London down to the West Country,
0:27:00 > 0:27:05Devon and Cornwall over to Wales and up to the north including Liverpool.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- All aboard. - Look at that.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Brunel largely delegated the design of the actual locomotive to other
0:27:13 > 0:27:14engineers.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19It was the roots and infrastructure which were amongst his greatest gifts to the nation.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22He was much more skilled at designing
0:27:22 > 0:27:26pieces of architecture, bridges, tunnels, buildings.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27That's where his true talents lie.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31The Great Western Railway truly was one of the great marvels of the age.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34And that's down to the genius of Brunel.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38There's certain features on the line including Box Tunnel and
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Maidenhead Bridge that everybody thought wouldn't work and he defied
0:27:42 > 0:27:45the odds and they still stand today as great pieces of architecture.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48He packed so much into his life and so much is left behind now.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50He's just got this great legacy.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Now, Anita's dying to take this engine out for a spin.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- Stand by.- So, shovel the coal. There we are.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00And...
0:28:02 > 0:28:03ENGINE HISSES
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- And we're away.- We're away.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11You certainly are. We'll leave that with you.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12WHISTLE BLOWS
0:28:13 > 0:28:18James meanwhile has travelled on to Hungerford in Berkshire by car.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22This historic market town seems the ideal place for him
0:28:22 > 0:28:24to bag his last bargains.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29He's sauntering into Hungerford Arcade where he's meeting
0:28:29 > 0:28:32dealer Adrian who's an old pal.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- Hello there.- Hello, James. Good to see you.- Good to see you.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39James has decided to assemble a job lot of small
0:28:39 > 0:28:43items around the little treen snuff box he bought yesterday.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47So, he'll need to scour this sizeable antiques centre carefully.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- I know a few auctioneers who could use that.- Hang on.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57He's soon found a candidate for his job lot - a bijouterie.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01It's a novelty pin cushion shaped like a lady's shoe.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Ticket price is £6.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- Would three quid be any good for that?- I will try.- Thank you.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12- Thanks very much.- I'm not sure.- Last of the big spenders and all that.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Adrian will call the person who owns it.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20- Can you please do £3? Yes. - Brilliant. That's great.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22That's in the bag for £3.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24In the meanwhile, he's found something else.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30- Crikey, that's fun.- He should have a matchbox on his back there.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32It's another novelty item.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36A Victorian pewter smoker's stand or matchbox holder.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39This one is a monkey mounted on a clam shell. As you do.
0:29:40 > 0:29:47The box would slot down and strike on the side. 25, would you ask her?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49With pleasure.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55James is in luck. The dealer will accept £25 for that.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01And he's now got something else at a price that suits him.
0:30:01 > 0:30:07I just found this cast iron font-like creature
0:30:07 > 0:30:10that would hold matches
0:30:10 > 0:30:14and I thought, "Whoopee! That's not expensive."
0:30:14 > 0:30:18"Small cast iron urn, no lid - £1."
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Even James isn't barefaced enough to haggle on that.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25So he's got the smoker's stand, pin cushion and urn for £29,
0:30:25 > 0:30:29and Adrian's going to throw in a few antique coins
0:30:29 > 0:30:33that might slot into the missing recess in the snuff box
0:30:33 > 0:30:36for one extra pound. That's nice.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38- £30 - spot on. - And thank you so much.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- It's been lovely. - Really enjoyed it.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41Thank you very much.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44And he's got everything he needs for auction.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46So he's off to catch up with Anita in Swindon
0:30:46 > 0:30:51for the ceremonial unveiling of their buys...and a kiss.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53James is up first.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Well, it's an interesting combination, James.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59I see you've got some scrap metal down here.
0:30:59 > 0:31:06My car boot finds - a big pair of Arts and Crafts French firedogs.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Now, these things could be blasted and cleaned up
0:31:09 > 0:31:13- and they'd look absolutely wonderful. - They could.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18But at the moment, they just look like a heap of old scrap iron.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Next, I got my Chinese hardwood table.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24This is a lovely table, James, a lovely table.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- Are you proud of it?- Yes, I am.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- I love that lot.- How much?
0:31:30 > 0:31:32I paid £150 for it.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36And how much are you hoping to get for it?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- I've seen them make four.- Oh, right.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41A mixed reaction. Will Anita's haul fare any better?
0:31:41 > 0:31:46The first thing I bought was a little engraving of Wellington.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Wellington? Why Wellington?
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Do you think that is Wellington?
0:31:51 > 0:31:54You think it's only Wellington's cousin?
0:31:54 > 0:31:58It might just be a bad...engraving of Wellington.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02Oh, dear. Wellington's identity questioned, eh?
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Not a great start.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05How will he react to the terrifying bear?
0:32:07 > 0:32:13I quite enjoyed buying my little tinplate knitting bear.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16He reminded me of you.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19And if you turn him on...
0:32:19 > 0:32:21JAMES LAUGHS
0:32:21 > 0:32:23..his eyes light up in the dark.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25He's great. I like him.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28A mild bit of praise rounds them off.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- Good luck to you, my friend. - Good luck to you.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Oh, how very official.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36They're waspish enough face to face,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39so what will they have to say behind closed doors?
0:32:39 > 0:32:43His chest - wormed and damp.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46So it's going to be difficult, even at £40.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49I like his table, that's a nice table.
0:32:49 > 0:32:55£150 he paid for it, and he's going to have to make £200,
0:32:55 > 0:32:59just about, to make any profit on that at all.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03I think the only item with any credibility at all,
0:33:03 > 0:33:07out of any of the objects, mine or Anita's, is the table.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10That Oriental table has at least got some quality about it
0:33:10 > 0:33:12and has a chance.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15But other than that, what a load of rubbish.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Don't mince your words.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20But they're ready for auction,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24and driving to Cirencester in Gloucestershire.
0:33:24 > 0:33:25The market town of Cirencester
0:33:25 > 0:33:29has origins dating back to the Roman occupation of Britain.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32They're pulling up at the saleroom
0:33:32 > 0:33:34of auctioneers Moore, Allen and Innocent.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37Here we are, James.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39Here we go.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44This looks interesting.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Best dive right in, then.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Presiding today will be auctioneer Philip Allwood.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Before the off, what does he make of their lots?
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Well, there's certainly an eclectic mix.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00Particularly, I like the Chinese rosewood folding table,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02which is a bit of fun.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Anita, of course, brought in the automaton knitting bear,
0:34:05 > 0:34:10which is quite a...rarish piece.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Anita started this leg with £318.80p.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19She spent £134 and has five lots to show for it.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Whilst James began with £813.94p
0:34:24 > 0:34:29and he spent £252, also on five lots in today's sale.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33The auction's about to begin.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37First up, it's James's pair of 19th century firedogs,
0:34:37 > 0:34:39accompanied by fire tools.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42They didn't light Anita's fire.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Will they set the saleroom ablaze?
0:34:45 > 0:34:47I can start you on the book at 30.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50At £30, got it here. Five, if you like, now.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51That's a start.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Five, 50. At 50...five.
0:34:54 > 0:34:5660, five. 70.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59At £70 here. Five anywhere? Five. 80.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02At £80, back with me at £80. Anyone?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04At £80, you all sure?
0:35:04 > 0:35:06At £80, five on the net.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08At £85 here, the book's out.
0:35:08 > 0:35:1085, you all sure...?
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Blimey - that certainly did burn a hot streak.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17I am thrilled with that.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18I bet you are.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Now it's Anita's mirror, appended to a portrait
0:35:21 > 0:35:25that may be the Duke of Wellington - or may be somebody else entirely.
0:35:25 > 0:35:2820? Ten, to get on, going to be a tenner.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30£10 for the glass?
0:35:30 > 0:35:31A fiver?
0:35:31 > 0:35:35Oh, dear - this isn't going in the right direction.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Nobody? A fiver?- Go on!
0:35:38 > 0:35:42- At £5 over here.- James, I'm going to burst into floods of tears!
0:35:42 > 0:35:44At £5, on my right here at £5.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47A fiver. At £5. At £5...
0:35:47 > 0:35:49I'll need another 50.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51At £5.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53That's trotted off to a disaster.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54Bad luck, Anita.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Now another try for James, with his pine carpenter's chest.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Will it carve out a profit?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Who'll start me at 100?
0:36:04 > 0:36:05100?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Good pine chest there. 100?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- 50, to get on. £50. - He's trying...
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- 30, then.- Oh, what?- £30?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15£30, a bid there at 30. Got to be cheap, at £30.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Five, anyone? At £30, five. 40. Five.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20At £45 in the room now.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22£45 - 50, if you like?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24At £45, it's selling right in front of me here.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27At £45 - 50. At 55.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29At 55. 60, now.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32At £55 in front of me, now. At 55, it's selling.
0:36:32 > 0:36:3660. Five. At £65, right in front of me in the room here.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38At £65, you're out on the net.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40At £65, you all sure?
0:36:40 > 0:36:44Selling here, then. At 65, you all done...?
0:36:45 > 0:36:47So, it does nail a decent profit in the end.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- He did his best there.- Not bad. - He did his best.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Now, will there be cause for celebration
0:36:53 > 0:36:56on Anita's ice bucket and display bottle of champers?
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Ten to get on. £10, a bid there.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Yeah, yeah!- £10, I have.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02At £10, 12, going to say now.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05At £10. 12, on the net.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08At 12, the book's out at £12. £15, if you like, now?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10At 12, 15. 18, over there.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Oh! Go on, go, go on!
0:37:12 > 0:37:15I'm getting all excited here, James!
0:37:15 > 0:37:18£18, a bid here. At £18 - 20, now.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Fill it up. At £18, it's selling on the net, here.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23You're all out in front of me. At £18...
0:37:23 > 0:37:24- 18, it is.- Aw!
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Corks popped all round, then.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30At least it's back on the right road.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34Next, it's James's job lot of bijouterie -
0:37:34 > 0:37:37will the little items serve up a big profit?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39At £50.
0:37:39 > 0:37:4030, to get on.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43At £20 a bid - at £20, five, now.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57Five. 70? There's 65, here.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59At £65 - it's on the left.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01They like it, James. They like it.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02You all done?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06A sizable win for James.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- Ah...- There's a profit, there. That's good.- You're doing all right.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Time now for Anita's automaton bear.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18It impressed Philip the auctioneer. Will the crowd agree?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Who'll start me, 50? £50?
0:38:20 > 0:38:21Go on, go on...
0:38:21 > 0:38:23£30?
0:38:23 > 0:38:2620, to get on. Got to be £20.

0:38:28 > 0:38:3230. At £30, I have £30. Anyone else?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34At £30, it's in the room, now. At £30. Five, anyone?
0:38:34 > 0:38:36At £30 - it's got to be cheap, at £30.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Look at him!
0:38:38 > 0:38:40It's only one eye that's on.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Oh, dear, that's not going to help...Cyclops.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46It's selling in the room, here. You all done at 30?
0:38:46 > 0:38:47Grr!
0:38:47 > 0:38:51The uncooperative bear picks a terrible time to break down,
0:38:51 > 0:38:53but at least it scrapes a profit.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56It wasn't just one eye when we had it!
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Now it's James' modern pastel portrait of a Pierrot.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Will it be smiles or tears after this lot?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07£20 for the Pierrot, there.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09The bidders have been scared off.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- A tenner?- No!
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Dear me - £10, it's no laughing matter.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17£10. Nobody? A fiver?
0:39:17 > 0:39:18Oh, what?
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Yes? Really? £5, a bid. At £5, at £5, there.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- Anybody?- Wow...
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- I can't believe who's bidding. - That is mad.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30At £5, it's selling here for a fiver.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32At £5 - the frame would cost you that.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- At £5, you all sure?- He's trying... - You all done at a fiver?
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Tears, as it turns out.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44That is just insane.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49One more for Anita, as her pair of Cairngorm-style brooches are up.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51£10.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52A fiver?
0:39:52 > 0:39:53THEY GROAN
0:39:53 > 0:39:55£5, a bid at five. Eight.

0:40:05 > 0:40:0620, if you like, now?
0:40:06 > 0:40:08£18, you all sure?
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Go on, go on!
0:40:10 > 0:40:12What a shame.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Oh...it could have been a LOT worse.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Now it's James's great hope - the Chinese table.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24I can start you on the book at...
0:40:26 > 0:40:29At 180. At 180, we've started. At 180.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32190, now. At £180, I have. 180...190.

0:40:44 > 0:40:49At £280 here. At £280, you all sure now?
0:40:49 > 0:40:50At 280...
0:40:52 > 0:40:54James's instincts were right.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56That lot was full of Eastern Promise.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Well done. Well done, well done.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03And finally, Anita's up with her Art Nouveau earrings,
0:41:03 > 0:41:04set with seed pearls.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08£50, to get on. £50 a bid - thank you, madam. At £50.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10At 50, look cheap at £50. Five, anyone?

0:42:11 > 0:42:13have an eye for style.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- Yes!- Yes! Well done!
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Anita started this leg with £318.30p.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26After paying auction costs, she made a profit of £121.02p
0:42:26 > 0:42:30and ends today with £439.32p.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Well done.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38But heavyweight James beat her to the punch once more.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41He began with £813.94p
0:42:41 > 0:42:45and after costs, made a profit of £158 today,
0:42:45 > 0:42:50giving him £971.94p to carry onwards.
0:42:52 > 0:42:57- Well, James, that was SO exciting! - He did his best, didn't he?
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- Uh-huh. - Got every last pound out of them.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Indeed, he did.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04To the Beetle, and away to the next leg.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05- Here we go!- Aye, here we go.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10On the next Antiques Road Trip,
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Anita gets a bit of a shock...
0:43:12 > 0:43:14Argh!
0:43:16 > 0:43:18..and James just looks a fright.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21Mwah-ha-ha-ha!
