0:00:02 > 0:00:05- It's the nation's favourite antiques experts...- All right, viewers?
0:00:05 > 0:00:08..with £200 each, a classic car and a goal -
0:00:08 > 0:00:10to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12I'm on fire!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14- Sold! Going, going, gone!- The aim?
0:00:14 > 0:00:19- To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.- 50p!
0:00:19 > 0:00:23There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Ooh!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Aw!
0:00:31 > 0:00:33This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40It's a brand-new Road Trip with our latest
0:00:40 > 0:00:44pair of pursuers of timeworn classics, Charles Hanson
0:00:44 > 0:00:48and Philip Serrell, who are about to embark on an antique adventure.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- Welcome back, big boy.- Good to see you, Carlos.- Welcome back.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- I can't believe it. - It's good fun, isn't it?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- Yeah!- Really good fun. We're going to have a blast on this, Charlie.- Yeah!
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Positive thinking - I like it.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05- Charles Hanson knows a thing or two about antiques.- It's rustic... Ohh!
0:01:05 > 0:01:09With over 14 years in the trade, he knows what he's doing.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11I'm going downstairs. I'm going downstairs.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Told you!
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Seasoned expert Philip Serrell has worn many hats in his career,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22but this antiques game's a tough one.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Ooh!
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Urgh!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Philip's got his eyes on the road
0:01:28 > 0:01:32and his hands upon the wheel of a 1969 Triumph GT6 Convertible,
0:01:32 > 0:01:38as our experts set off with high hopes and £200 each to spend.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Both have a great track record on the Road Trip.
0:01:41 > 0:01:47- The only ever trip I lost was against a man called Philip Serrell.- Ha-ha!
0:01:47 > 0:01:51So it promises to be a real contest.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Our trip begins in the northwest of England, at Southport,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59before winding its way down into Wales, across to London,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02before finally reaching Cirencester in the Cotswolds.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07This leg takes us from the seaside town of Southport,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11meandering south through Merseyside, Staffordshire, Cheshire,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15before heading to Wrexham in Wales for the first auction.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Racehorse owner Ginger McCain famously trained
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Red Rum on Southport beach, where the three times National
0:02:23 > 0:02:28winner would prepare for the event by galloping through the sea water.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Phil's parking his steed right opposite his first shop,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36The Antiques Man, as our pair begin their quest to find the best
0:02:36 > 0:02:38treasure Southport has to offer.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Make sure your mum gets her hat back!- It's a Mecca of antiques.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45You're in the Mecca. Enjoy yourself. What's your tactics?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I'm going to get a hat like that.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- That's my tactic. God bless, Charlie.- You, too. All the best.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54It looks like Charlie's right.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Phil's not even got in the shop and already he's fallen in lurve.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01That's a fabulous thing, that is.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04It's going to be a lot of money as well.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- I'll go in. Ah, John. Philip. How are you?- Hello, Philip. How are you?
0:03:10 > 0:03:11- Good to see you.- Yes.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Isn't that fantastic?- It is, absolutely unbelievable, that.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Yes.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19This model of a coal tender was probably
0:03:19 > 0:03:22used as an advertising gimmick in the mid 20th century,
0:03:22 > 0:03:26though at £295, it's a bit out of your league, Phil.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Can I take that in? I might be able to talk to you about that.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32OK.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Crikey! He's not letting it go. Let's see what else lies within.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38This is a child's parasol.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42And the person who would buy this today would be a doll collector.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- And that's 25 squid.- 25 quid.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46What a gentleman.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49That seems a little more in your price range.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- How much are your little clogs?- They vary. They're the least expensive.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03£10.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Those two are £30.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Those are quite sweet.- They are.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Decisions, decisions, eh, Phil?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15But wouldn't you know it?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19He's still got his heart set on the coal tender.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Well, you don't get if you don't ask.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24This is the item you really want to buy.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27This is the one you've fallen in love with. This is the one you want.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30This is... When I came through the door, this is what I loved.
0:04:30 > 0:04:36- I absolutely love it. Can I give you £125 for the three?- No.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Blimey! Talk about going in low!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I think you'll need to try again, mate.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44£140 and I'll have them. I'll shake your hand now.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46You can't. You're holding it.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50John, you're a gentleman.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Can I just say, you've been really, really generous to me.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56He may have been really generous, but at £30 for the parasol
0:04:56 > 0:05:01and clogs and an incredible bargain of £110 for the model coal tender,
0:05:01 > 0:05:05that's nearly three-quarters of your budget gone in your first shop.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Brave boy! Now, what's Charles up to?- Good morning.- How are you?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- I'm fine.- On this very sunny day. - I know.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16He's in Market Street Antiques with the lovely Theresa.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21- If only this was an oil. That's quite nice.- It is nice.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Nice quality. Oh, yes!
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Look at the ceiling as well.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Try and focus, Charles, eh?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32These are nice vases. Tell me about them.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Um...- They're a pair, aren't they? - They are a pair, yes.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Yes. Um...
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- I like these because they are what were called Japanese...- Yeah.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44..and they are...Kutani.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47You had to think for a second there, didn't you, Charles?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Kutani is both an area in Japan and a type of porcelain
0:05:51 > 0:05:54known for its multiple colours, usually orange.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57In perfect condition, they could be very valuable.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59But these are priced at only £40.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03On this side, you've got these wonderful birds in blossom,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06on the reverse, we've got the wonderful Japanese Geisha girls.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09You could almost be one yourself with that dark hair.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14Theresa, I could put you alongside them in your eastern look.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17But what really knocks them for six is the fact that we've got
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- this restoration on the rim there. - I know.- What a shame.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25I think that's the only thing that's wrong with it, really.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30So if I said to you, Theresa, just today, one price only,
0:06:30 > 0:06:32one price only...
0:06:32 > 0:06:35What's your very best price? I shall walk away.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- Think about it.- 35?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Whisper again?- 35.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Whisper again?- 35.
0:06:41 > 0:06:4435, OK. OK. That's your one price only.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47That's a real bargain. But what just sadly...
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- That's it, yeah. - ..will affect, I think,
0:06:49 > 0:06:54my prestigious standing with Philip Serrell is if he sees that knock.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I shall think about it. It's a really nice discount.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00So, unconvinced, Charles moves on.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Good morning.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05And heads just along the road to Southport Antiques to meet John,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08who is keeping an eye on his daughter-in-law's shop.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Are you a local man?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Yeah, born and bred.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14John was a greengrocer, so he knows his onions,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17but Charles knows his antiques.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19So here you've got a wonderful sarcophagus tea caddy
0:07:19 > 0:07:22in mahogany, in rosewood,
0:07:22 > 0:07:29in almost satinwood as well, and that caddy would date to around 1820.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34- John, there's no price on this, is there?- Let's say £1,000.- £1,000.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40I'm out. I'm out. Thanks, John. £1,000. I'm out.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- A bit too much. Thanks, John. I'll leave that one.- Oh, gosh.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Maybe it's just his sense of humour, Charles. Let's try something else.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Lovely cabinet there. Chinoiserie.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54John, there's no guide price on this, on the cabinet.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59Beautifully lacquered with this Far Eastern influence, 1920s.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- Let me guess, John, £1,000?- OK.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08£1,000. No, I'm going to say no, I'm out. OK?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- What's the best price? - You got me all excited there.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Surely not everything in here is £1,000?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- John, there's one thing I've seen outside here, may I show you?- Right.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24- I quite like your bust, John.- I beg your pardon?- I call that your bust.
0:08:24 > 0:08:30- Oh, the bust, yes.- Because... - And there's a price on it. Great.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31John, you're in luck.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38She's quite nice. John, do you like her?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- It's a good bust.- A bit ugly, I think.- Do you think so?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I'd like her a lot more if you bought her.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52It seems John is keen to part with this French earthenware bust.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- Priced at £75, it's one to consider. - Let's go back inside.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Come on, mate.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Charles has also spotted this pair of watercolours,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05dated 1922 and priced at £55.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10What I love about history, John, is they're unique.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Nobody has reproduced them and they capture a time, don't they,
0:09:15 > 0:09:19they capture the 1920s. And they're just very nice, in their oak frames.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21They're not overly well painted.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25The artist, I don't know who it is at all, but they're just decorative.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Yeah.- How much are they worth to you, then, Charles?
0:09:28 > 0:09:33I would want to, John, frankly, pay probably about 30
0:09:33 > 0:09:37for the watercolours and I'll probably want to pay
0:09:37 > 0:09:40about 50 for your bust.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Which would make £80 in cash.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Look at me.
0:09:47 > 0:09:4890 and it's a deal.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Make it 85, and it's a deal. Look at me.- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01But before they can shake on it, Charles wants one last crack
0:10:01 > 0:10:04at the £1,000 caddy with the more realistic offer of...
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- 80?- Round figure, 100.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- I'm taking a chance. - Meet me halfway at 90.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- OK.- John, that's great.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- So, I've bought three items.- Hmm-mm.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Which makes...- 175.- Correct.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30Oh, my goodness. That means I've only got £25 left. What have I done?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Not to be outdone on the spending stakes,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Charles has also blown a big part of his budget at the first opportunity.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41This should make for an interesting trip.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44With their pockets substantially lightened, our experts are
0:10:44 > 0:10:48heading south towards Aintree, where Philip's "orf to the gee-gees".
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Giddy up!
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- At a canter, Phil, slow down. - Over the top!
0:10:52 > 0:10:57- Over, Charlie, over, over! - Whoa, boys, steady up!
0:10:59 > 0:11:01They're both getting out of the car here,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04but Charles has more shopping on his mind.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09Phil, at a canter, at a gallop, I'm off, enjoy yourself.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Enjoy that toy.- What a place. - See you soon.- Bye.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16He's swapping the Triumph for the time-honoured shanks pony.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Meanwhile, at a more leisurely pace,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Phil's going to explore the famous Aintree racecourse,
0:11:21 > 0:11:25home to the great British institution, the Grand National.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29The first official Grand National was held in 1839
0:11:29 > 0:11:33with the aptly-named Lottery declared the winner.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35The event was the brainchild of William Lynn,
0:11:35 > 0:11:39established to rival a race in St Albans.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Believing he could do it better,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43he set out to create the greatest steeplechase in the world.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47At one time, 66 runners and riders entered the Grand National
0:11:47 > 0:11:51and they would have all started here in the old Weighing Room,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54where Phil's meeting historian Jane Clarke.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56This is the old Weighing Room.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Up until 2005, all the jockeys would change here
0:11:59 > 0:12:01before they rode in the Grand National
0:12:01 > 0:12:03and all the other races at Aintree.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05This is where the nerves would jangle.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Mine would jangle before I sat on that thing! You haven't got enough weights there.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Would you like a go?- Absolutely not. Some things are classified.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17The National is the most valuable jump race in Europe, proving popular
0:12:17 > 0:12:21with royalty and many people who like to have the occasional flutter.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26It's 4.5 miles long, 30 fences, and even in the very early days,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29there were 29 fences for them to jump,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31but they were all natural fences.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Many of these fences, including Becher's Brook,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36have become famous in their own right.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39The fence took its name from Captain Martin Becher
0:12:39 > 0:12:42who fell off his horse there in the first National
0:12:42 > 0:12:45and took shelter in the brook to avoid injury.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49I think this is really atmospheric here, but if you want to come
0:12:49 > 0:12:51to Aintree, you've got to soak up the course, haven't you?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- You've got to get out there on the turf.- Show me, show me.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57THEME MUSIC FROM "Black Beauty"
0:13:00 > 0:13:05- Wow. That's incredible, isn't it? - What do you think of that?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08And so where do we start?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11A good place to start is perhaps the finishing line,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14just in front of us, the lollipoppers, they call it.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18That's after one of the longest run-ins in British racing,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- or anywhere, really. - And anything could win, couldn't it?
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Well, it's unpredictable.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26The fairy tale aspect, and you can start off in the small print,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28you can end up in the headlines. Anybody can win.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32The favourite can be beaten by the no-hoper, and it often happens,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34and that's what makes it so magical.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36The Antiques Road Trip's a bit like that.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Many horses have experienced the sweet taste of victory on this course,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42taking their place in the history books,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45but one name in particular leaps out from the page.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Out of all the horses that have raced here, in my eyes,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50there's one that stands head and shoulders above the others
0:13:50 > 0:13:54as being the icon, the Grand National icon, Red Rum.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Everyone's heard of Red Rum.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58He's a very big part of Aintree's history.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- He's buried out here on the course. - Here?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Would you like to come and see his grave?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04That would be quite moving, yeah, honestly, thank you.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Red Rum is the only horse to have won the National three times.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10He died in 1995, aged 30,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14with his death making the national news headlines.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18We're at the winning line now.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21This is the very point that you pass if you win the Grand National.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- Right next to it is Red Rum's grave. - That's special, isn't it?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Isn't that nice?- You could almost get quite emotional, couldn't you?
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Because you talk of sporting icons of the 20th century,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35like Muhammad Ali, Pele,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38and Red Rum has got to be up there, hasn't he?
0:14:38 > 0:14:42He has, and this is where he belongs. This is his special place.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45He always pricked up his ears when they unloaded him at Aintree.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50He knew this place was special. He lit up when he was here.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Jane, I've absolutely loved this. It's been fantastic,
0:14:53 > 0:14:57because Red Rum was a sporting hero of mine. Is that the finishing post?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Just come and help me get past Hansen before he gets there. Come on.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09And trying to get his nose in front,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Charles has meanwhile made his way to the centre
0:15:12 > 0:15:16of Liverpool to see how far his remaining £25 will stretch.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21He's heading for Wayne Colquhoun Antiques,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- if he can stop waving to his adoring public, that is.- Bye!
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Once inside, Charles is having regrets about splashing his cash so early.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37If only I hadn't succumbed earlier
0:15:37 > 0:15:42- and bought three objects in one shop. I've got £25.- How much?- £25.- £25.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- We'll sort something out for £25. - Really?- Yeah.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Has Charles found a little something that fits the bill?
0:15:53 > 0:15:59- It's a turkey.- I have a reprint of the original Sabino catalogue.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05Yes, Charles, this is no ordinary turkey. This is a Sabino turkey.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Sabino glass was made in the 1920s and '30s in Paris.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12The firm was noted for Art Deco ornaments and figurines
0:16:12 > 0:16:14in clear and coloured glass.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18What's the best that could be, Wayne?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- How much have you got?- £25.- £30.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Oh, golly!- £25 to you.- Are you sure?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Crikey! That would leave Charles without a penny
0:16:27 > 0:16:29after only his second shop.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33So to soften the blow, Wayne's offered his own personalised
0:16:33 > 0:16:39- Dali-esque spectacle stand. - So you're going to throw in your...
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- I'll sell you the both of them for £20.- Really?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44That leaves you a fiver tomorrow.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46A very generous offer indeed.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48So that's £19 for the Art Deco turkey,
0:16:48 > 0:16:52one pound for Wayne's modern art pottery stand.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- I'd shake on that if I were you, Charles.- It's there! Taken.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Sold! Going, going, gone. We've done a great deal, I'm over the moon.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03£1, and £19 for my dong-dong turkey.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Back together, it's been a busy day for our antiquarians,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11but will their risky strategy of spending so much money
0:17:11 > 0:17:14so quickly leave them with regrets?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Time to get your heads down, for tomorrow's another day!
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Nighty-night!
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Ah! The Great British countryside,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28a chance to breathe in the fresh air
0:17:28 > 0:17:31and let whatever comes to mind out into the open.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34So, Phil, impress me. Entertain me.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Let the past wax lyrical and for you to just invest heavily, deeply,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40passionately, and love the object.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Don't buy knobbly knick-knacks, please.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Because I love you.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Oh, dear. Looks like someone's had a little bit too much sun.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53To be fair, Charles has invested heavily,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56deeply and passionately in his four lots,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59spending a whopping £195 of his budget on a tea caddy,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01a pair of watercolours,
0:18:01 > 0:18:06an earthenware bust and a glass turkey and spectacle stand combo.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09That leaves him with just £5 to spend on his final item.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Philip has also pushed the boat out,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15spending a mighty £140 on two lots so far -
0:18:15 > 0:18:19a miniature parasol and clogs and a model of a coal tender,
0:18:19 > 0:18:23leaving him with a healthy £60 still to spend.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- I could almost buy a leek. - Sorry?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- I could almost buy a leek. - No, they're a penny a go, Charlie.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- Do you like leeks? L-E-E-K? - Charlie, where is this going?
0:18:34 > 0:18:35Because we're going to Leek!
0:18:35 > 0:18:38That's where we're going. We're going to Leek.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Ha! Charles is rather excited about it,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43but that is exactly where he's taking you, Phil -
0:18:43 > 0:18:4758 miles south-east to the town of Leek in Staffordshire.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54This busy market town is known as the Queen Of The Moorlands
0:18:54 > 0:18:56and has a large selection of antique shops.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Go on, in you go.- After you. - No, no, no, age before beauty.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Including Phil Masters Antiques.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Good morning!
0:19:04 > 0:19:07He's the one in the spiffing red jacket.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- This is a proper shop, isn't it? - Fantastic!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Our experts are going head-to-head here.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Charles is dashing straight upstairs, hoping that's where
0:19:16 > 0:19:19they put the cheap stuff, with his £5 note.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23I don't even dare advise the dealer I've got £5, because actually,
0:19:23 > 0:19:28I don't think there's anything here for £5. I'll go hunting.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31So Charles is struggling,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34but how's Phil faring with the £60 in his pocket?
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- What is that on the end of that shelf there?- This?
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Yeah, what's that?
0:19:40 > 0:19:45It came out of a pub, and I could do that for 30 quid.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- I think that's a bit of fun, isn't it?- It's fun, yeah.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54So what we've got is just a bit of, almost like an orange box,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- isn't it, just a bit of timber, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00That someone's painted in the 1950s,
0:20:00 > 0:20:04but we don't know where the pub is. Oh, it's the Shoulder Of Mutton.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07But they've also done it in a....
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Like, tried to create a 3-D effect
0:20:09 > 0:20:12by fretting out the shape of the pub.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15I've got to buy three things
0:20:15 > 0:20:17and I've got 60 quid.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Can I give you 20 quid for it?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21That's my best shot.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- OK.- Are you sure?- Yes, we'll do that. Yeah.- You're a gentleman.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- I think that's really quite fun. - Yeah.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32What's he up to with that picture, and where's he going?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Charlie, how you doing?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- I'm OK. Are you OK?- Yeah, yeah.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- Yeah, nothing for me here, Charlie. - No?- No.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Are you enjoying it?- Yeah, it's quite nice.- What's behind your back?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Where? - CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- I told you!- There's nothing behind my back.- That looks very nice.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49What?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51HE LAUGHS
0:20:51 > 0:20:52- Anyway, enjoy.- I will enjoy.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54My back, it's killing me. It really is.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Phil, you're good with your hands, aren't you?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- What?- You're good with your hands.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- You could be a magician, the way you sort of...- What?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03What?! It's my back.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08Honestly, just here. It's just been... I think it's your driving.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Anyway, I'll see you, mate.- Yeah.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Cheers, buddy.- That was quite clever, where's it gone?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Our Philip's ready to move on,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17leaving a thoroughly confused Charles
0:21:17 > 0:21:19to get himself out of a pickle.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21He's enlisted owner Phil's help
0:21:21 > 0:21:25to pick out some of his inexpensive items.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Pewter mug can be a fiver,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- but, you know, it's quite a nice shape.- It is.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- But you might find that it's nothing rare.- Uh-huh.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34I think these are undervalued, these ships in bottles,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36First World War, quite a lot of them,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38you can have it for a fiver.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43I can see you're also looking at a Staffordshire lady playing her...
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Is that a harpsichord or... It's some sort of little...
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It is a harpsichord, or a Welsh harp.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52That's a harp if I ever saw one...
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Yeah, there she is, playing a Welsh harp
0:21:55 > 0:21:57and, obviously, the auction is in Wales,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59and she's quite tempting actually.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Ah... Yes.- What can her best price be, Phil?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I thought perhaps £10?
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Phil, could she, would she happily be...
0:22:09 > 0:22:13It sounds better if I say 500...
0:22:13 > 0:22:14pence.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Oh. Right!
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Oh, go on, then.- Are you sure?- Yes.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Well, I never. Charles, hats off to you.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You pulled it out of the bag
0:22:24 > 0:22:26and got a cracking little item to finish your shopping.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Well done.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34The boys are back on the road and heading 17 miles west to Wheelock,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37where Charles is dropping Phil off at his last shop.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Phil, this place is amazing.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- I'm looking forward to this shop. - Hidden Treasures, Phil.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Hidden Treasures. - CAR BANGS
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- Oh, Lord, what are you doing?! - What's that?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- That was our exhaust, Charlie. - Oh, Charles.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Hidden Treasures lives up to its name,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56you never know what you might find amongst all this lot -
0:22:56 > 0:22:57maybe even a new exhaust.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Surely Richard has some serious antiques
0:23:00 > 0:23:02for Philip to get his head around.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Oh. Ow...
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Ohh...
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Ow, try that again, Philip. - That's made your eyes water.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Yeah, I might... Was it Mr Hodges out of Dad's Army?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15"Put that light out!"
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- He was the ARP warden, wasn't he? Was it ARP?- Yeah.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21This is a warden's helmet,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24which is, what, Second World War, 39-45.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29Today there is a well-established market for collecting militaria.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Priced up at £39, that could be a possibility.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Quite like that, Richard.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42That's a piece of coloured, leaded light glass, isn't it?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- It is, yeah. - Dates to about the 1920s,
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- cos it's in a steel casement, isn't it?- Yep.- So it's sort of...
0:23:48 > 0:23:50It's a bit Art Deco rather than Art Nouveau, isn't it?
0:23:50 > 0:23:51That's right, yeah.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55That's a lot of questions you seem to know the answer to, Phil,
0:23:55 > 0:23:56but how about the all-important one?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- How much is that?- That is £25.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Secular leaded lights like this,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05as opposed to the more ornate stained-glass windows
0:24:05 > 0:24:07found in churches,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10were popular in the early part of the 20th century.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Can we perhaps put that by? - Yeah, no problem.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14Still on the prowl,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17are there any other hidden treasures for Phil?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19That brings back memories for me.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24One of the best moments of my television career
0:24:24 > 0:24:26was on the Antiques Road Trip,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29and I got to sit in a Lancaster bomber.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Just absolutely fantastic.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35MUSIC: The Dam Busters' March
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Let me put that back down.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Yes. We do look after you on the Road Trip.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Good memories, eh?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53But it's time to make a decision on those items you looked at.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56So we've got the leaded light, steel-case window,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58that was priced at, what, £25?
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Yeah.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01And this warden's helmet,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- which was priced at thirty...? - £39.- £39.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Right, I'm going to be really cheeky here.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Richard, this is all I've got, right, there is no more,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11it's not much.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- That is me, every last penny spent - £40.- Right.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17£20 apiece, any good to you?
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Well...
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Since you've got no more and you're buying the two,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- I'll do it.- You're a gentleman, thank you ever so much.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Look at that.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29So, both our experts are all shopped out and all spent out.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Jolly handsome.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Get to the auction, you're going to bomb.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Well, you'll have to wait a little longer for that auction, Phil.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42While you've been busy shopping...
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Charles has headed south
0:25:44 > 0:25:47to Englesea Brook Chapel.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48He has come to discover
0:25:48 > 0:25:52how a small village on the Cheshire-Staffordshire border
0:25:52 > 0:25:54had a huge impact on the world
0:25:54 > 0:25:56as the birthplace of a movement
0:25:56 > 0:25:59that was seen as a threat to the fabric of British society.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03In the aftermath of the American and French Revolutions,
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Britain introduced oppressive laws to quell domestic dissent.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Battling to be heard
0:26:09 > 0:26:13was a religious splinter group called Primitive Methodism,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15which played a major role
0:26:15 > 0:26:20in changing the political landscape of 19th-century Britain.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23This museum celebrates its history.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Good afternoon. It feels like going back to my primary school.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Oh, does it!- All over again. Charles Hanson.- All right, welcome.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I'm Jill Barber, I'm the director of the museum here at Englesea Brook.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- Fantastic, may we go in? - Yes, please do.- Thank you very much.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Primitive Methodism was a working-class movement
0:26:40 > 0:26:42which began in Mow Cop
0:26:42 > 0:26:45in Staffordshire at the beginning of the 19th century.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Because of my ignorance, Jill, first of all,
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I'm a very simple man from Derbyshire, when you say Primitive...
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Yeah.- ..Methodism. Just give a simple man a bit of a background.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56OK, let's get rid of the Primitive first of all,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59because that just sounds terrible. Primitive means "early",
0:26:59 > 0:27:00so, back to basics.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02So it's about going back to
0:27:02 > 0:27:04the early form of Methodism under John Wesley.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09John Wesley founded the Methodist movement in the mid-18th century
0:27:09 > 0:27:11which focused on helping the poor
0:27:11 > 0:27:15and, ultimately, they split from the Anglican Church.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18And what happens after John Wesley's death,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20all the things that he stood for
0:27:20 > 0:27:23about reaching out to the poor, that sort of stopped a bit.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26There were some who felt the Methodist Church
0:27:26 > 0:27:28had lost sight of his legacy.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31And others like them felt, actually,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34the good news was about going out and preaching to the poor,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37and they were influenced by an American called Lorenzo Dow,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40who was a bit crazy, looked a bit like a 1960s hippy.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43And he came and preached in this area
0:27:43 > 0:27:46and he was telling them about the camp meetings they have in America,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49they were going, "Wow! That sounds just what we need to do."
0:27:49 > 0:27:53It was this enthusiasm for Dow's radical preaching
0:27:53 > 0:27:55from revolutionary America
0:27:55 > 0:27:57that made the Primitive Methodists
0:27:57 > 0:28:00seem such a danger to the British government.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03But it was this new style of outdoor teaching
0:28:03 > 0:28:05that proved so popular with the working class.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08And as a result of that, the Methodist Church said,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10"Wow, this is not respectable.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13"Anybody that does open-air preaching,
0:28:13 > 0:28:14"goes to a camp meeting,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16"is out of the Methodist Church."
0:28:16 > 0:28:20It really just met the needs of the age,
0:28:20 > 0:28:23because what it did, it empowered ordinary working people.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28The followers learned skills in leadership and public speaking,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31making them the perfect candidates
0:28:31 > 0:28:33for a burgeoning trade union movement.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Most of the early trade union leaders were Methodists,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39and particularly Primitive Methodists,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41because they were working people
0:28:41 > 0:28:43who'd developed the skills through the chapel.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46And what Primitive Methodism did, it gave them a voice,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49it gave them a means, and possibly, arguably,
0:28:49 > 0:28:52averted a French Revolution happening here.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55This forward-thinking movement
0:28:55 > 0:28:56was also ahead of its time
0:28:56 > 0:28:59by actively encouraging women to preach.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02What Hugh Bourne did, he was a real man of vision,
0:29:02 > 0:29:06I admire him because it's hard to go against the ideas of your age,
0:29:06 > 0:29:07and that's what he did.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11And he not only encouraged girls,
0:29:11 > 0:29:14young girls to preach,
0:29:14 > 0:29:16go out as local preachers,
0:29:16 > 0:29:20but he even paid them as travelling ministers.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22While Primitive Methodism
0:29:22 > 0:29:24merged with mainstream Methodism
0:29:24 > 0:29:26in the early 20th century,
0:29:26 > 0:29:28it had been at the vanguard
0:29:28 > 0:29:30of the fledgling democracy in Britain
0:29:30 > 0:29:34that gave working-class people a voice and a vote.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37So, after that enlightening visit,
0:29:37 > 0:29:41our two treasure-seekers are meeting up for the grand unveiling.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46- Three, two, one - Phil, reveal all. - Oh, Lord.- Hello.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47There's my little bits, Charlie.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51- I like them.- Do you?- Do you know what, I really, really do.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- You're just saying that.- No, I'm being serious, Phil. What I love...
0:29:54 > 0:29:57No, I'm being serious, Phil. You've got a lovely lot of clobber,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- but the biggest and best piece of clobber you've got...- Clobber?!
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- No, clobber, for the auction. I love this.- It's nice, isn't it?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Phil, that could fly. - Who knows? That was £110.- Yes.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09I love this. You were there when I was sneaking out with this.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10- Absolutely.- 20 quid.- Yeah.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- 20 quid.- What's its history?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Well, it's dated 1939, so it's Second World War.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Do you remember Dad's Army? "Put that light out!"
0:30:18 > 0:30:20- Yes. Yes, I do.- It's him, isn't it? - Yeah, I like it.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- Yeah?- I like it. - That little lot was 30 quid.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- Tell me about your little kinky boots.- I thought they were your size.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28They're not my size!
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Are they old, because you've gone for National Coal Board
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- and then this reflects... - I'm going for a working man's ethic.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37I think you are. I like your style.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39I bought this leaded light window here,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- and I thought I'd got two shots with this.- That's nice.- Because...
0:30:42 > 0:30:47Take the leaded glass out and you've got a nice industrial steel frame
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- to stand down and put a mirror in. - Absolutely.- Double whammy.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53But also, it's in that lovely Art Nouveau taste, isn't it, as well?
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- It's a bit later than that, I think.- Is it?- £200 all gone.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Now for Charles' £200 worth.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Phil, prepare to be intrigued, I think,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04by my first batch of items just for you.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05Right.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- I like your box, Charlie. - Do you really?
0:31:09 > 0:31:11That's got to be your top lot.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13I bought this off a greengrocer,
0:31:13 > 0:31:16and if you want a wonderful 1820s-1830s tea caddy, this is it.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19It is missing its mixing bowl, but look at that inlay on the back,
0:31:19 > 0:31:20look at the top.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23It's a gorgeous tea caddy, big and bulky.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Yeah, that's a good lot, Charlie.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28But 20 years ago it would have fetched far more.
0:31:28 > 0:31:3020 years ago that was 250 quid.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Now, if you have a good day, it might make you 150-160.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- That's what I thought. Exactly, Phil. - What's this all about, Charlie?
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Well, Phil, I know you like the female form
0:31:39 > 0:31:43and I know you like a bit of organic feel in a lady
0:31:43 > 0:31:46and this lady represents the Art Nouveau.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- I think she's a good decorative lot, actually.- Seriously?
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Yeah, I do, honestly. What did you pay for that?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- £55.- Well done, John.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55That's fantastic. Well done.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Here is a Welsh girl playing the harpsichord.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02I'm hoping, Phil, she's Staffordshire pottery, she's 1860,
0:32:02 > 0:32:04she might play sweet music in Wales.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07She might do, Charles, but not on a harpsichord -
0:32:07 > 0:32:09once again, that's a harp. Oh, boy...
0:32:09 > 0:32:13And this is the last lot, is it, these watercolours?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- I know that artist. - Do you really?- Yeah, I do.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- I can't remember, but I've sold work by him before.- Really?- Yeah.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22I think you've done really, really well.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24And off they go.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31It's time to get back on the road and head to auction.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35It's been a frenetic first leg
0:32:35 > 0:32:37for our dynamic duo,
0:32:37 > 0:32:38kicking off in Southport,
0:32:38 > 0:32:39passing through Liverpool
0:32:39 > 0:32:42before heading into the Cheshire countryside
0:32:42 > 0:32:43and ending in Wrexham
0:32:43 > 0:32:45for their first auction of the trip.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Wrexham is the largest town in North Wales
0:32:49 > 0:32:52and claims to be the first place that lager was brewed in Britain.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Just park, Charlie, park.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- Just park, Charlie!- Perfect. - Charlie, stop, stop.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Stop, Charlie, stop.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03- Phil, that is like a hand in a glove. - What? Yeah...
0:33:04 > 0:33:06At least he didn't hit the wall(!)
0:33:06 > 0:33:10The first auction of the Road Trip for our boys is at Wingetts.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Established for over 50 years,
0:33:12 > 0:33:16they hold a monthly antique, fine art and collectable sale
0:33:16 > 0:33:17that is renowned.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Are you going first, or shall I go in first?- You go first, Charlie.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- Why?- I want to just delay the pleasure for as long as possible.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Look, try hard not to break anything.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Ah, he knows you well, Charles.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33The man with the gavel in his grasp is Richard Hughes.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Let's see what he thinks of our experts' choices.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37Decorative piece.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40I don't know whether you'd want to leave it in the garden too long,
0:33:40 > 0:33:44but I'd be hoping to get towards £100 or so for that,
0:33:44 > 0:33:46certainly getting there.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50The railway cart, NCB, National Coal Board,
0:33:50 > 0:33:52nice well-made model.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56It looks like it's been either in a fire or a bit too close to a fire,
0:33:56 > 0:33:59because the condition's a little bit blistered,
0:33:59 > 0:34:01but £50, £60. All of that.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Sounds promising.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Phil and Charles both began this leg
0:34:06 > 0:34:10with the Road Trip's bulging budget of £200
0:34:10 > 0:34:12and both blew the lot.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13That's the spirit.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Both bought true to form,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18with Philip Serrell spending every last penny of his budget
0:34:18 > 0:34:21on an eclectic mix of items to make up his five lots.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26While Charles Hanson went down a more classical route
0:34:26 > 0:34:27in choosing his five lots.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- It's a very tense auction. - 'All the jewellery, £5...'
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Do you feel tense?
0:34:35 > 0:34:39Yes, I've got a slight clenching feeling around the buttocks.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Too late for nerves, boys, the auction is about to begin.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49First up is Charles' Staffordshire pottery figure.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Start me then, £5.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53- £5?- Oh...
0:34:53 > 0:34:55£5 I've got on my right then, straight in with you, who'll say 8?
0:34:55 > 0:35:00It's the maiden bid, 8. I'm bid 10. 10, madam? 12.
0:35:00 > 0:35:0215?
0:35:02 > 0:35:0318.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07£15 lady's bid front.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Goes at 15.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12A £10 profit, Charles. Steady...
0:35:12 > 0:35:14but not much to harp about.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- That's a good start, isn't it? - Yeah, it was.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19OK, it's a good start.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Now, if anyone by chance came along
0:35:23 > 0:35:24looking for a glass turkey
0:35:24 > 0:35:26and spectacle stand,
0:35:26 > 0:35:27then they're in luck.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Stand by.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Nice little group, those. £30 the two.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- Got to be that.- Come on.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36I've got £10 bid with me, then.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Big loss.
0:35:38 > 0:35:4015, 18, 20, 22.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44£22, the bid's in the room at £25.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47A fresh bidder - 28.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50£25, the bid's dead centre with you, sir, at 25.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53You're out behind? All done.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Charlie, there's just no stopping you, is there?
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- Isn't that a loss due to commission? - No, no, no, no.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00No, don't worry, Charles,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03after commission that actually scraped a profit.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Next up is Phil's first lot,
0:36:06 > 0:36:10the miniature clogs and the parasol.
0:36:10 > 0:36:1310 to start, £10 I got, thank you, madam.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Again, now, is there 12 in the room?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17It's the main bid, the lady's bid.
0:36:17 > 0:36:1815, 18. 20.
0:36:18 > 0:36:2220, sir, and 22. 25.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24£22. 25.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26A fresh bidder - 28.
0:36:26 > 0:36:2828, sir.
0:36:28 > 0:36:3230. It's only money. And 32.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35£30 bid's in front.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40Charlie, could you wipe that smile off your face, please?
0:36:40 > 0:36:42He's probably just worked out
0:36:42 > 0:36:45that that's a loss after commission, Phil.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48But here's the warden's helmet
0:36:48 > 0:36:51that you were confident would blow Charles away.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54I've got £20 bids.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56INAUDIBLE SPEECH
0:36:56 > 0:36:5730. And 35, sir?
0:36:57 > 0:36:5940. And 45?
0:36:59 > 0:37:0045.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Well done, it's getting there.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05I'll take 48 if you like it.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08Sold at 45.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- That's a shock, Charlie.- Well done. Well done.- What a great result.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18You called it, Phil - a healthy profit to edge you in front.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23Now, can Charles combat it with this pair of watercolours?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25These are nice, but they could crash.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27HB Davis, 1922,
0:37:27 > 0:37:29it's going to be £50 for them. For the pair.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Come on...
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Nice frames as well.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36£20 to start, then. £20 I've got, thank you.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- That's all right, Charles.- Down 10.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Maiden bid at £20 with you, sir.
0:37:40 > 0:37:4225 bid, 30.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46£25 bid, I'll take 28 if it helps you now.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47£25.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Is there 28?
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Sold at £25.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56That's cost you 8 quid, I think.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01And your profit overall is sailing away from you.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05But will Phil's stay on track
0:38:05 > 0:38:07with his model of a coal tender?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Lovely quality, nicely made and put together. Lot 90.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Give me 100 for it.- Wow.
0:38:12 > 0:38:13£100 I got.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Straight in. At £100, it's the lady's bid at the back of the room.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Who'll say 105 for it?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Maiden bid with you, madam, at £100.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Starting bid £100.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Sold for 100!
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Wow.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Oh, dear. The face says it all.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33I think Phil saw more than £100 on that.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35You need two to tango, and she had no-one to tango with.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Best wait until your big purchase has been sold, Charles.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43It's your large tea caddy up next.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45It is too much, I love it.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47No regrets. No regrets.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49How much for it? Give me 50.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- Start me.- Oh, it's a killer.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55£50 I've got, straight in. 55 bid, 60. 65.
0:38:55 > 0:38:5970, 75, 80, 85.
0:38:59 > 0:39:0290, 95. 100.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Go on, go on.- 95, madam.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09Sold at £95.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12That's great. I've lost money, but it was an object worth buying.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15That's the spirit, Charles, you're right.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18After auction costs that'll be a small loss,
0:39:18 > 0:39:20but I'd say you were unlucky there.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Moving on, it's Phil's leaded light window.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26He feels it's got more than one use
0:39:26 > 0:39:28but will it have more than one bidder this time?
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Window light. Give me £20 for that one.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34£10. £10. 12 bid.
0:39:34 > 0:39:3715, madam, 18, 20.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39And 22. 25.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43£22, seated right at the back...
0:39:43 > 0:39:45That's a relief, Charles.
0:39:45 > 0:39:4822 bid. All done.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52That's another loss after the auction takes its commission.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Maybe buying their items so quickly is coming back to haunt them.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01Come on, Charles, let's end with a profit on your last lot,
0:40:01 > 0:40:03the earthenware bust of a lady.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04Gosh, I'm quite nervous now.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- I've got 50 bid with me to start with, 50 bid.- Good start.
0:40:07 > 0:40:0950 bid. 55, 65, sir.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1170, and 75.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14£70, 75, 80. 85, madam?
0:40:14 > 0:40:1790, 95. £95 and out now,
0:40:17 > 0:40:21the bid's the lady's bid at the back of the room at £95.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22I'll take 100 if you want.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25100 bid, 110, madam.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27105 if it helps you?
0:40:27 > 0:40:28105 bid. 110.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30115.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Bid's by me. Finished at 110.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37I'll let you have a little smile, Charlie,
0:40:37 > 0:40:39cos I know you'll break in your next two.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- That's really well done, you.- I'm pleased, I'm really pleased, yeah.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45A great way to finish off, Charles, well done.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48That's brought some respectability back.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51At last, but hopefully not least,
0:40:51 > 0:40:55it's Phil's folk art panel painting of a pub.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58A bit of fun. Give me £20 for it.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00I'll take 10 to start, then.
0:41:00 > 0:41:01Must be that, surely.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- Ouch.- No bid for it.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07£5. Needs a new home.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Nobody want it?
0:41:09 > 0:41:12£2?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Oh, no, don't sell it for that!
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Who'll say 4 in the room? That is for nothing, that.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18The main bidder 2.
0:41:18 > 0:41:214, I'm bid, standing. 6, 8?
0:41:21 > 0:41:23No? We tried.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Sold at 6, then.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27That's hard.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Well, Phil, it's closing time on your first auction
0:41:32 > 0:41:34and you've ended up with a loss.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- Do you want me to go?- Yes, I do, I want you to leave the building.
0:41:38 > 0:41:39CHARLES LAUGHS
0:41:39 > 0:41:42I hate him. I really don't like him at all.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48There's room for improvement, there, boys,
0:41:48 > 0:41:49but onwards and upwards.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Both our experts started this leg with £200
0:41:52 > 0:41:54and, after paying auction costs,
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Phil has made a sorry loss of £33.54
0:41:58 > 0:42:02that leaves him with £166.46 to carry forward.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06That cheeky scamp Charles Hanson, on the other hand,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08has triumphed today.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10He's made a profit of £21.40,
0:42:10 > 0:42:14which means he takes forward £221.40
0:42:14 > 0:42:16to spend next time.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19The way I look at it, you're up, I'm down,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21but there is a bright side.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24- I get to drive now.- And also, Phil, this is only act one.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- There's four acts to go. - Theatre, romance, drama,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29but I do get to drive, don't I?
0:42:29 > 0:42:31- Yes, you do.- Thank the Lord for that.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35Charlie, stop it. It's not big. I'm going to kick you.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39No, don't kick me in the bottom. Ow!
0:42:39 > 0:42:43- Oh! Ow.- Get out. Go on. - What was that for? That's not fair.
0:42:43 > 0:42:44All the best!
0:42:49 > 0:42:50Oh, do behave, Charles.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54I'm sure you'll both bring the big guns out on the next leg.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Next time on Antiques Road Trip, Philip goes out on a limb.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01I don't know what it's worth and I don't know what it is.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04And Charles has the dealers wrapped around his finger.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07Would you be open to an offer on the whole lot?
0:43:07 > 0:43:08I'll listen, but I won't...
0:43:08 > 0:43:11No! I'm your mate.
