0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts,
0:00:05 > 0:00:10with £200 each, a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Going, going, gone.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14- BOTH: Yes! - It's a bit like fishing.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23- There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.- What have I done?!
0:00:23 > 0:00:27So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29I'd better look out!
0:00:30 > 0:00:33This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah...
0:00:37 > 0:00:39It's the final leg of the road trip
0:00:39 > 0:00:42for treasure hunters Anita Manning and James Braxton.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Glasgow auctioneer Anita has a passion for the strangest things...
0:00:49 > 0:00:51You're coming home with Mummy.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58..whilst James isn't afraid to take a punt in the hope to win big.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59I think I'll have it.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I'm a gambling man.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05So far on this road trip, Anita has seen her profits take off.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Last chance then, please, at £130.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Yes!
0:01:11 > 0:01:15But a certain mahogany case made over £100 profit at auction,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17putting James out in the lead.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19At £190...
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Well done.- Are you pleased? - Yep, pleased.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Both our esteemed experts started this road trip with £200.
0:01:28 > 0:01:34Anita got off to a gallop, more than doubling her money to £452.86.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Smiler.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43However, James quickly raced ahead and now has £525.44.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47That means there's just £72.58 between them,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50so a single shrewd buy on this road trip
0:01:50 > 0:01:52could decide the overall winner.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Ha!
0:01:57 > 0:02:01They're cruising through Suffolk in a lovely Parisian princess.
0:02:01 > 0:02:07The 1986 Citroen 2CV6 Special, yeah.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08How's the car today?
0:02:08 > 0:02:14The car's lovely, she's behaving absolutely beautifully, as usual.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- She has served us very well. - I've loved this wee car.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I've nicknamed her Tintin.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- CHUCKLING:- Tintin or Tin Can?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I'll let you decide.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29James and Anita started this 700-mile road trip
0:02:29 > 0:02:33in Stamford in East Midlands, snaking their way through
0:02:33 > 0:02:36the glorious heartlands of East Anglia and Essex,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39en route to London's maritime borough of Greenwich.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45On today's final leg, they begin in the town of Needham Market
0:02:45 > 0:02:49in Suffolk, ending with a crowning auction in Greenwich.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56James currently has a narrow lead, but Anita isn't too far behind.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- It's been stressful. - SHE CHUCKLES
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Hasn't been easy, you've been there. You've been there, miffing away.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Whether I can hold you back, I don't know.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09The lovely town of Needham Market
0:03:09 > 0:03:12is set in the Gipping Valley of Suffolk.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15The town grew around the wool-combing industry,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18which was a method of preparing wool for the weavers.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Our dyed-in-the-wool experts are just about ready
0:03:23 > 0:03:25to start "combing" the area - ha! -
0:03:25 > 0:03:27to seek out a bargain.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- James?- Yeah.- Very last leg.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Are you going to spend a lot of money?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34You've been urging me to buy big all this time.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- And you haven't paid a blind bit of notice!- Bye-bye.- Bye.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Nice kiss.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Whilst James thinks about whether to buy big for the bigger finish,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Anita is off to her first shop,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Bygones of Needham Market, where she's meeting owner Paul.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- Hello, Anita. How are you? - Hello, I'm Anita.- Nice to see you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Gosh, he's a bit forward!
0:03:55 > 0:03:57And looking rather dapper too.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- What a colourful and fascinating shop.- Jolly good.- Yeah.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I love this.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05I hope that peck on the cheek
0:04:05 > 0:04:07means he's going to give you a discount
0:04:07 > 0:04:09rather than a tongue sandwich.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13This could be James when I make my next big profit!
0:04:14 > 0:04:17It's a big of an Aladdin's Cave of antiques
0:04:17 > 0:04:19and Anita's starting in the basement.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23That silk gown seems rather nice.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25It might be just your size, Anita.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29It's labelled as 1930s, but it could even be pre-First World War.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33It looks a bit moth-eaten but it's still in reasonable condition.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36It's got a ticket price of £55. Go on, try it on.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39I quite like that.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Might have a go at it, but I'm going to keep on looking.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Please do, and straightaway she's distracted by a big, cuddly deer.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- Looks expensive.- It's been hanging around this corner for far too long.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Somebody needs to buy it.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Oh, crikey, she's surely not thinking about buying that!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Let's look at the price.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02£38.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- That's too "deer".- That's my line. You're not kidding.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Looks like the moths have been at it too.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Poor little deer.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Nevertheless, Anita has her eye on it,
0:05:11 > 0:05:16along with that vintage gown with a ticket price of £55.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I'm looking at two things that are not in great condition.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24But they amuse me. That poor wee Bambi over there needs a new home.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27It needs to get away from that big fox there
0:05:27 > 0:05:30before it's nibbled completely away!
0:05:32 > 0:05:36I think we may be a tad too late to rescue this particular animal,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38but Anita still hopes to save him.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41But is it really worth £38?
0:05:42 > 0:05:48I'd like to be buying him in the region of £12-15.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Mmm-hmm. - If he was in good condition,
0:05:51 > 0:05:55I would have no problem at all and I would pay a lot more than that,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- so could he be bought within, say...- 15?
0:05:59 > 0:06:00- Is 15..?- Yeah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01- Is that..?- Would buy him.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Would buy him?- Yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It's a deal.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I think Paul might have been glad just to get rid of it, frankly.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10£15 for an old deer fawn?
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Let's hope at auction it proves to have been a good i-"deer".
0:06:15 > 0:06:17You're coming home with Mummy.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Anita's back at that gown
0:06:21 > 0:06:24and is hoping that by pointing out the flaws,
0:06:24 > 0:06:25she can negotiate a good deal.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- Cunning minx.- We've got some little holes here.- Yep.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32We've got some staining on the front,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35but all these folds are in good condition.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Anita really needs a reduction on the £55 ticket price.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Is there movement to the 20s on that?
0:06:43 > 0:06:4425?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- 25?- Yeah.- Will we go with that?
0:06:46 > 0:06:47I'd take 25.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- How much is the mannequin to go with it?- 45.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55And if I bought this as an ensemble...
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I tell you what, if you buy the whole lot, what would you say?
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Er...
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- 50 quid?- 50 quid and I'll give you this.
0:07:04 > 0:07:0640, 60...
0:07:06 > 0:07:09That's a good little lot for just £50.
0:07:09 > 0:07:1265 if you include our fluffy four-legged friend.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Now, steady, Anita. You've certainly got your hands full here.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21Meanwhile, James is across town at Station Yard Emporium.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24It has a range of antiques from a number of different dealers.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Hello, James.- Hello, James, glad to meet you.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Hello, and your name is?- John.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Today, he's only looking for fresh goods.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Come on, John, show me your fresh meat.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39That's fresh.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- That's fresh, is it?- Just this week, yesterday.- Just this week?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46A nice piece of silverware in the form of a jewellery box
0:07:46 > 0:07:47from around the turn of the century.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Anything that age could be expected to have a bit of damage,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54but this seems to have aged rather well. Ha!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57It's ticketed at £95.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Was it bought well, John? - Indeed.- It was bought well.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Could this be a special price?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- It's possible.- It's possible?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I'd have to talk to the dealer who owns it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Let me keep looking, but I like that.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11It really is a dog's life
0:08:11 > 0:08:14when you're trying to sniff out a bargain.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Let's hope John has some good news.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- What did they say, John?- Well, at this stage, they're saying 85.
0:08:20 > 0:08:2185?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23£85...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- It's jolly nice, isn't it?- It is.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- I'll give them £85. It's very nice.- Very kind.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Cor, he's off to a flying start with a confident purchase
0:08:31 > 0:08:33that could put him straight into the fast lane
0:08:33 > 0:08:36and ahead of Anita if it does well.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38James is eyeing up this medal,
0:08:38 > 0:08:42but with a ticket price of £5, is that too low?
0:08:42 > 0:08:43I think it'd be silly for me
0:08:43 > 0:08:46to fiddle around with £5-10 goods at this stage.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I think I need to buy bigger chunks.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It's not cat food, James!
0:08:51 > 0:08:52But we like what you're saying.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Beautifully polished, but it's got quite a dusty bottom.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Who hasn't?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59We've had a few dusty bottoms on this show already.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Here's something that will blow the cobwebs away.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05It's a gold-plated, silken, mother-of-pearl fan.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Nice, but it's got a big ticket price.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13135? The chancers! It's quite a nice one.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18You do get bigger ones and very often you see them now in cases,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20these nice-shaped cases,
0:09:20 > 0:09:24but saying all that, it's in quite good condition, this.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26It looks 19th-century,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28but, actually, it could be earlier.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30The condition will stand it in good stead,
0:09:30 > 0:09:34but can John take a few pounds off the asking price?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37If it were 60-65, I'd buy it.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Oh-ho-ho!- It depends how well people buy these things.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Mmm, at least if it doesn't sell,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46it could help cool you down after the heat of the auction, James.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Here comes John with news from the dealer.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Stand by.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Christine can't possibly take 65.- OK.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56If you twist her arm, and her leg,
0:09:56 > 0:09:58she'll do it for 85.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Her very best, John, is it? - Very best, 85.
0:10:02 > 0:10:0485? I think I'll have it.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I'm a gambling man.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10A decisive James has confidently staked £170
0:10:10 > 0:10:12on his first two items.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Let's hope it pays off.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Anita, on the other hand,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28has headed through the glorious heartlands of Essex
0:10:28 > 0:10:34to Coggeshall, near Colchester, to find out about local cloth making.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38It's where we find the rather splendid Paycocke's House.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Watch her go.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Today she's meeting Ros Gurling from the National Trust.
0:10:44 > 0:10:50- Hello! I'm Anita.- I'm Ros. Welcome to Paycocke's.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Come and see our lovely house.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57The exterior of this building is absolutely amazing.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58- It is.- Amazing!
0:10:58 > 0:11:02And we've got some even better things to show you inside the house.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Paycocke's House was built around 1500
0:11:08 > 0:11:11for wealthy cloth tradesman Thomas Paycocke.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14It was his main business premises,
0:11:14 > 0:11:18where he could showcase the many fine examples of his cloth making.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24He only had an old-fashioned, open medieval hall
0:11:24 > 0:11:26and he wanted to build this brand-new range
0:11:26 > 0:11:31to impress people. He wanted the best to come here,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33buy his good-quality cloth,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36and so he threw everything he knew and the architects knew
0:11:36 > 0:11:39into this European-design house.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44The house was completely different
0:11:44 > 0:11:46to anything the locals had seen before
0:11:46 > 0:11:48and was designed to impress his clients
0:11:48 > 0:11:51and make Paycocke stand out from his competitors.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58What would this room have been used for, Ros?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Following on from the fact that it was a showroom,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03his clients would have come in here
0:12:03 > 0:12:06and that was the first impression they would have had.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08There would have been samples here,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12there would have been a pretend painted fireplace on the wall
0:12:12 > 0:12:15and then, of course, these amazing beams.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22The unusually intricate linenfold panelling and wood carving
0:12:22 > 0:12:25reveals the wealth generated locally by the wool trade.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32You can see the initials of Thomas and wife, Margaret,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35within the intricate design.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38There is another little secret that's very hard to find
0:12:38 > 0:12:39in the ceiling again.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Carpenters often left a unique symbol or mark
0:12:42 > 0:12:43to identify their work.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49In this instance, a smiling face looking down on all who look up. Ha!
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- Can you see it?- I can see it. It's like a little mask.- It is.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58After Paycocke died,
0:12:58 > 0:13:02the house was converted into a terrace of three separate cottages.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Coggeshall continued its thriving cloth-making industry
0:13:06 > 0:13:08and, over time,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11it developed a reputation for producing exquisite lace.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17We have an example here of some Tambour lace.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Local lace-makers would use a lace-maker's lamp like this one
0:13:23 > 0:13:26to shine a light on their intricate designs.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29What would have happened would have been each of these flasks
0:13:29 > 0:13:31would have been taken out,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34filled with water, and then inserted.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37A good-quality candle at the centre would have been lit
0:13:37 > 0:13:40and, therefore, you've got magnification of your light
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- and people could sit round. - So would the women sit round?- Yes.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47And, of course, it would enable people, women,
0:13:47 > 0:13:48to work and get more money.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56For over 500 years, Paycocke's House has stood as a constant reminder
0:13:56 > 0:13:59of the wealth created in Coggeshall
0:13:59 > 0:14:02by the 15th-century textile industries.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03After many years of restoration,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07it shines once more in its former glory.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Ros, thank you so much for telling me all about it.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I have really enjoyed this visit, so...
0:14:16 > 0:14:18It's been lovely to have you and I'm glad you've enjoyed,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20and do come back again.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Thank you again. BOTH: Bye-bye!
0:14:24 > 0:14:29James hasn't the time to engage in such indulgences, however.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31He's off to the coastal town of Woodbridge
0:14:31 > 0:14:33to do some bold buying.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Woodbridge is an ancient market town which has been
0:14:38 > 0:14:40a centre for boat building since the Middle Ages.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Our James has set sail for Woodbridge Antique Centre
0:14:45 > 0:14:49to see if owner Natalie has any bargains for him.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Hello, Natalie.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Hi, James.- Nice to meet you.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56There are loads of antiques here, but with so much choice,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58will James find something to complement
0:14:58 > 0:15:00his jewellery box and fan?
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Thank you.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07He may be on his knees, but he's not down on his luck quite yet.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Quickly spotting round... This mirror.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14And it looks like he may have browsed upon something interesting.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17It's a gilded convex wall mirror,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19possibly early 1900s,
0:15:19 > 0:15:20but tricky to date.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Natalie, what price could that be? Could that be 40-45?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to do that on that particular piece.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30I'd have to speak to the person it belongs to.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33If I carry on looking round, do you want to try and propose that?
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Yeah, I can give them a call.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37I don't want to be too cheeky, but I quite like that.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the cheekiest of them all?
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Surely not our James?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Thank you, that's great. Bye-bye.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49He's kindly said he'll go down to 45.
0:15:49 > 0:15:5245? Natalie, I'll take it.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Lovely.- I'll take that, 45. - That's great.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Now I'm going to keep looking.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59His cheeky low offer seems to have worked a treat.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Pleased with my mirror. The gilding's very nice and bright on it
0:16:03 > 0:16:05and everyone needs a mirror.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Mirrors are very popular at auction.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10That should do all right. £45, it's a good price.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Leaves me the opportunity of profit, there.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17I certainly hope so, if you want to stay in the lead, that is.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Three good items. I need another two.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I wouldn't mind, I could probably settle at four.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28This is just as well, as he seems to be struggling to find anything else.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35All is not lost. It's only day one and there are more shops ahead.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Lovely.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41It's been a busy day for treasure hunting,
0:16:41 > 0:16:45but as the shops close, it's now time to retire.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Night-night, you two.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59It's the final day of James and Anita's road trip
0:16:59 > 0:17:04and our dynamic duo are up with the larks in the old 2CV.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- Yesterday, I'm not sure how sensible I was.- Did you buy...
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I think I had a mad half-hour.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15You bought humorous items.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Oh, they made me laugh at the time.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Whether they will make me laugh in the auction is another thing.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26So far, Anita has spent £65 on a one-eyed deer,
0:17:26 > 0:17:31and a Victorian silk gown with boa and a mannequin, as you do.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Look at that mighty beastie.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37James, on the other hand, decided to think big,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40splashing out £215 on three lots -
0:17:40 > 0:17:42a silver jewellery box,
0:17:42 > 0:17:43a silk fan,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45and the convex wall mirror.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49They're looking forward to a busy day of shopping,
0:17:49 > 0:17:53but Anita isn't coping too well with the Essex traffic.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Oh, James, I'm not sure if I'm very good at traffic jams.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01We don't have traffic jams in Glasgow.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- You do.- We don't have traffic jams in Glasgow.- You do, I have...
0:18:04 > 0:18:05No traffic jams.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07What is she talking about?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Of course there are traffic jams in Glasgow!
0:18:12 > 0:18:15But after battling through all those traffic jams,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18they finally made it to their first destination,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Camden Passage in Islington.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Most incredible of all,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25they've managed to find a car parking space in London.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28This could be a sign of good things to come.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- That was a bit nerve-racking, James. - It was very hairy, wasn't it?
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- Last blast, James? - Oh, let's go and spend some money!
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Come on! Come on, girl.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Come on.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Come on.- Hang on, are they holding hands?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- One, two, three... - Don't tell his wife.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Camden Passage is a backstreet of curiosity shops and market stalls.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58That's a terrific big bit of bling.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01They've been selling antiques here for over 40 years,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04so surely the perfect place to pick up something unique.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Anita hasn't found anything in the stalls,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16but she has found a little shop she likes the look of.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19ORIENTAL MUSIC
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Hello, I'm Anita. Is it all right to have a look around?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- It looks lovely.- Thank you.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30This place has a lot of Oriental-inspired goods,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33but Anita has spotted another animal figure
0:19:33 > 0:19:35that could join her deer from yesterday.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40It's a figure of a Black Forest-carved cockatoo.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43It could easily have come from the end of an umbrella or a cane
0:19:43 > 0:19:45and has a ticket price of £35,
0:19:45 > 0:19:49but our Anita will be wanting something off from dealer Suki.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I quite like that.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56It's a wee bit dear for me, but I'll ask the trader
0:19:56 > 0:19:58if we can come down a wee bit on that.
0:19:58 > 0:20:04Would it be possible to buy that for in the region of round about £20?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07No? No? OK.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10What is the very, very best that you can do on it?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Well, I'd like to say 30,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15but I'll come down to 28.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18To 28? 28...
0:20:19 > 0:20:23I like it. It's nice. It's smiling at me.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Yeah, but will he smile on your profits?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Could you come to 25?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31TRADER LAUGHS No, definitely not?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- 28.- 28? Yeah, uh-huh? OK.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37We'll go for that. Thank you very, very much.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39It's lovely. I'll call it Polly.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40THEY LAUGH
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Oh, yeah? So, joining Bambi now is Polly.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Ha! Anita is building a Noah's Ark of treasures.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Bye-bye!
0:20:50 > 0:20:52James, however, isn't bothering with the shops.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55He's nearby and he's going straight to the market stalls
0:20:55 > 0:20:56to hunt out a bargain.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59That is a mighty fellow, isn't it?
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Just like yourself, James.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06But he has found a needle wallet and combo tape measure.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10It looks like it's from the 1890s and has a ticket price of £25.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12I quite like that.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15And so you should, but what about this jazzy pinwheel cushion,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17ticketed at £25?
0:21:17 > 0:21:18It you want it,
0:21:18 > 0:21:22you might need a better price than that from dealer Howard.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Hello, Howard.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Would you do the two at 40? - Yes, I can do.- Shake on that.- OK.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- OK, thank you.- Bye!
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Hey, I thought you were going to try
0:21:32 > 0:21:34and buy big on this last leg of the trip.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Both go in the same lot
0:21:35 > 0:21:38and they'll make a nice little lot in an auction room.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I should bag 10-20 quid with those.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43With only £72.58 between them,
0:21:43 > 0:21:48and the clock ticking, James might want to buy something weighty
0:21:48 > 0:21:50that will help him maintain his lead.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- What's that, then? - That's a nice Arts and Crafts thing.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Yeah, not quite what I had in mind.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58It's a kettle stand with engraved copper skin.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00There isn't a price attached so, potentially,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02room to haggle with dealer Danny.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Hello.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- It's very inexpensive. - What, a fiver?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09It is a fiver, exactly, spot-on.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10I like that.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Yeah, I'll buy that, fiver. - Oh!- Come on, put it there, man.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- Thanks a lot, you've been really good.- See you again.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20If it sells well, he could make a decent profit on that fiver.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- There you go, young man. - Would you like some change?
0:22:23 > 0:22:24I'd love some change.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25It's a good little thing.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27The sort of thing Anita loves.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30She'll love it even more if you make a loss on it, ha-ha!
0:22:36 > 0:22:39As James brings his shopping to a close,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42he's left a fashionable market for a place in Highgate
0:22:42 > 0:22:44that became fashionable in the mid-19th century
0:22:44 > 0:22:46for a completely different reason.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Highgate Cemetery became the final resting place
0:22:52 > 0:22:55for many of London's important figures.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59James is meeting Ian Dungavell from the Friends Of Highgate Cemetery.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Let's hope he doesn't "corpse."
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Hello.- Hello, James, I'm Ian.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Very good, nice to meet you. - Welcome to Highgate Cemetery.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15In the mid-19th century, Parliament passed a series of statutes
0:23:15 > 0:23:18creating new private cemeteries around London.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Their aim was to ease the chronic lack of burial sites in the capital
0:23:22 > 0:23:26and to offer a safe resting place away from grave robbers.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32With its stunning architecture and impressive landscape,
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Highgate quickly became the final resting place
0:23:36 > 0:23:40of many famous scientists, politicians and entertainers.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Over here we've got the tomb of George Wombwell
0:23:43 > 0:23:45who was a menagerist,
0:23:45 > 0:23:49and he's got his very docile Lion, Nero, sitting on top of his tomb.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53The lion was so tame that children could come up and stroke him.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- It's a beautiful memorial. - That is fabulous.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57A "menagerist".
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Yeah, or "wild animal proprietor".
0:24:00 > 0:24:04There are over 50,000 graves at Highgate,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07including that of chemist Michael Faraday,
0:24:07 > 0:24:11author Douglas Adams and painter Lucian Freud.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Over 70 different monuments and structures pepper the cemetery,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19such as the Terrace Catacombs,
0:24:19 > 0:24:24an impressive Gothic structure with room for 825 people,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28safe from pilferers, body snatchers and anatomists.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Here you are in a massive, vaulted, top-lit space.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33This would have all been lime-washed,
0:24:33 > 0:24:34so it's quite light and bright.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36You could see more than you can nowadays.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- These are glass-topped skylights. - Very forward-thinking.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43And then you would come in and visit the vault of your loved ones.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Like all aspects of the Victorian funeral,
0:24:46 > 0:24:47they could be very expensive.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Inside, the coffin itself would be lined in lead
0:24:52 > 0:24:54and then the outer coffin would be wood
0:24:54 > 0:24:58and often covered with a fabric with upholstery nails,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00very heavily decorated.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05The coffins were placed into one of these vaults
0:25:05 > 0:25:09where they've lain undisturbed for over 150 years.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21In the 1850s, the cemetery expanded eastward on a more modest scale.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Nevertheless it's still attracted the attention of the noteworthy.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29This is the monument in Highgate Cemetery
0:25:29 > 0:25:33that everyone comes to see, that we're famous for internationally,
0:25:33 > 0:25:37which is the monument to Karl Marx, was put up here in the 1950s
0:25:37 > 0:25:40although he died in 1881.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43This monument was paid for by the Communist Party
0:25:43 > 0:25:48and this wonderful bust by Laurence Bradshaw
0:25:48 > 0:25:50with Marx brooding down at us
0:25:50 > 0:25:53is a real focal point of the cemetery.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Highgate is also the final resting place
0:25:56 > 0:25:59of punk impresario Malcolm McLaren.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02You've never seen anything like this in a cemetery.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04He holds his own in the cemetery.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08It's a catalogue memorial, it's not the same old, same old
0:26:08 > 0:26:09sort of way of commemorating him,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11it's something personal and individual,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14and for that reason I think it's a fantastic addition
0:26:14 > 0:26:16to our historic cemetery.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Yeah, it is, the new with the old.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Today Highgate is managed by the Friends Of Highgate Cemetery
0:26:24 > 0:26:29who've been restoring and conserving the site for future generations.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Ian, thank you very much indeed, it's been absolutely fascinating.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Amongst the living dead, really.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Yes. Come back again. There's lots more to see.- I will.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Meanwhile, Anita has left Islington
0:26:50 > 0:26:52and made her way up to Watford.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57She's visiting Croxley Antiques
0:26:57 > 0:27:01and is hoping to find something that will give her the edge over James.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- Hello.- Good afternoon, madam.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- I'm Anita, and it's lovely to be here.- Thank you.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13You've got a bit of everything in here.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- You can have anything from £2 to £2,000.- Oh, right.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18What would you like to spend?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21What's selling well just now?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Silver. Top-end ceramics.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Yeah, a bit of local knowledge from dealer David
0:27:26 > 0:27:29could really make a difference in buying right for the auction.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I'd like to buy a bit of silver
0:27:34 > 0:27:37and hope that will do well down in Green-ich.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Green-ich!
0:27:39 > 0:27:41That sounds like a medical condition.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42I think you mean Greenwich -
0:27:42 > 0:27:44or get some cream.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Anita is looking for something impressive
0:27:49 > 0:27:52and it looks like she may have found it.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56It is a rather interesting set of silver condiments dated 1889.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Now, silver can be a good buy, but it does depend on the price.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05What I'd like to be paying in that
0:28:05 > 0:28:08is probably around about 100.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12That's too low. Can't do it.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- Is it too low?- Yeah, can't do it.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Bottom price, it's got to be 125.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- I can't do it any cheaper than that. - Could you bring that to 110?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I'll tell you what, cos it's you, I'll knock another fiver off.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27But that's maximum. 120.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29It can't be any lower.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It's make-your-mind-up time, Anita.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Let's go.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- That's lovely, thank you very much.- Pleasure.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39That's a nice set of condiments
0:28:39 > 0:28:42that could shine the light on Anita's profits.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43But she isn't stopping there.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Oh, yeah, that's lovely.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49I like this little jug.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52I'm not even going to look at the price.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Don't tell me. Can I buy that for 20 quid?
0:28:57 > 0:28:58No, you certainly can't.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Nice try. It's ticketed at £90.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05So, you better look for something else, girl.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11You do have considerably more than £20 left you know -
0:29:11 > 0:29:15£359.86 to be precise.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18But you might not want to spend all of that.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21These look quite interesting - at the right figure!
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Cos we've got a pair and because they're sweet,
0:29:24 > 0:29:26I think I'll have a go at them.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29These lovely rustic fellows
0:29:29 > 0:29:31are being sold together at £55.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35However, they've been badly restored and that will affect their value.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42David, I had a look at these figures and I think they're quite sweet.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Could I buy them for £20?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47There she goes with those £20 again.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49In a word, no.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51But considering the damage on both of them.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54£30.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Could you take it to £25?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Meet me in the middle.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04They're damaged, so I'll do it for 25.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08- Thank you very much. - It's my pleasure.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10What a guy, eh?
0:30:10 > 0:30:13£30 off, could they be the item that put Anita in front?
0:30:16 > 0:30:20As the shops close and our road trip nears the end,
0:30:20 > 0:30:23it's time for Anita to hightail it and meet James,
0:30:23 > 0:30:25as we reveal who bought what.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26Oh, looks like two coffins.
0:30:28 > 0:30:33This is my favourite bit and I cannot wait to see what you've bought.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- You go first this time. - This is my final batch.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- I love that! - Do you like that box?- I love it!
0:30:43 > 0:30:47- Pick it up, go on. - It's just my type of thing.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- I hate you.- Eh, steady on!
0:30:52 > 0:30:57- How much was it?- 85.- I'm going home.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00That's the sort of endorsement I like from you.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Is someone regretting the purchase of a cuddly deer?
0:31:03 > 0:31:07I'd like you to meet a couple of pals of mine.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10This is wee Bambi.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Wee? There's nothing wee about that.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16I had to rescue Bambi, who's only got one eye.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- And much did you have to pay for that?- £15.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I think that's a winner.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I don't think I could live with it, but I'm sure somebody else can.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26The only problem is it's got mange.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31My second lot is Miss Havisham.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Anita sure has some Great Expectations for this one.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37It's a beautiful Victorian frock.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- She's not really filling that yet, is she?- I hadn't noticed.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45My next lot, quite a traditional piece,
0:31:45 > 0:31:50- condiment set, silver. - How much did you pay for that?- 120.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- That's not bad. You've got a lot of kit with that.- I know.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56So, James, he very last reveal.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59I think we deserve a wee treat, are you paying?
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Um, no, you're paying. No, I'll pay.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Always haggling, you two,
0:32:05 > 0:32:08but before you head off for some light refreshments,
0:32:08 > 0:32:10it's time to take the gloves off
0:32:10 > 0:32:13and tell us what you really think of each others items.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14Go on, be honest.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20How did James Braxton do it again?
0:32:20 > 0:32:23That box was to die for.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26It should have been waiting there for me,
0:32:26 > 0:32:30it was so beautiful and just the type of thing that I love.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34But not only did he buy it, he bought it for £85.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38That's a bargain and that thing is going to sail.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43Anita - some fun lots, the fawn, the fawn with mange.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46That will do well, so will the dress.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Her case lot, now that is a grand silver cruet
0:32:49 > 0:32:53has many items, all the original spoons, it's all there.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59It's been an eventful concluding leg for our two excitable experts.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03After a mammoth journey,
0:33:03 > 0:33:07they're making a B-line for the Meridian Line of Greenwich
0:33:07 > 0:33:09and a deciding auction showdown.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Greenwich has played a key role in the story of Britain's sea power
0:33:19 > 0:33:21for over 400 years.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23The royal borough is home to the Cutty Sark,
0:33:23 > 0:33:28the National Maritime Museum and, famously, time as we know it.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31The final one.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Getting out of this car doesn't get any easier, does it?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Come on, slow coach.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Greenwich Auctions, one of the largest in the southeast,
0:33:42 > 0:33:45and it's the place our winner will be anointed.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Auctioneer Robert Dodd will be on the podium today.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Last time at £18.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56But what does he make of James and Anita's choices?
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Probably the items that will create the most interest
0:34:03 > 0:34:04will be the silver.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07The Art Nouveau box, the jewellery box is lovely.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10The fawn...now that's interesting.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Really, really interesting.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15I hope they didn't pay any money for it
0:34:15 > 0:34:20and I hope whoever bought it...got that thrown in with something else.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Maybe buy-one-get-one-free.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Hey, he doesn't mince his words.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33Anita started this leg with a respectable £452.86
0:34:33 > 0:34:38and has gone on to spend £238 on five auction lots.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- There it is.- Thank you.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44James meanwhile kicked off with an impressive £525.44
0:34:44 > 0:34:46and has parted with £260,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49also for five auction lots.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52There's just £72.58 between them.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56So, without further ado, let the final auction begin.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03First out of the trap is James' gilt convex wall mirror.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Bid remains on this at £22.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Good start.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10£30. Two with me. Five. I'm out.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Yeah.
0:35:12 > 0:35:1845. 42 with you, sir. Last time. At £42.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22After costs, it works out as a loss for James.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26Let's hope it doesn't reflect too badly on the other items.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29That was my charity buy.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32They say charity begins at home,
0:35:32 > 0:35:37so can we find a home for Anita's carved Black Forest cane handle.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40The bid's with me at £22 on that.
0:35:40 > 0:35:4225. It's worth more than that.

0:36:07 > 0:36:11More than doubling her money and narrowing James' lead.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- 58 quid. Ah!- Double bubble.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- Happy with that.- I would be.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54Good profit.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59Next up, could the damage spell disaster for Anita's ornaments?

0:37:03 > 0:37:05£30, I'm out. Looking for 32 on these.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09They're worth that. £30 on these figures.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12After costs, she's just about broken even.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17James started with a lead over Anita of just £72.58.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20She's got to do better if she wants to win.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- No loss.- That's the game.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Next under the hammer are James' two Victorian gems.

0:37:47 > 0:37:51£55 makes a small profit for James. He's still ahead.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- I got away with that. - Good.- Well done.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01We're on to Anita's Victorian silk gown with mannequin and boa.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57has paid off handsomely for James.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01- Well done.- There you are.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- Steady work, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:39:05 > 0:39:10Speaking of handsome, here comes Anita's cyclopic cuddly dear.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55..with one eye.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59A remarkable result for Anita.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03She was confident it would sell and she was right.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Had it had two eyes it would have been a tenner.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Anita is definitely just closing in on James

0:40:46 > 0:40:49- Yes, well done.- Well done.

0:41:36 > 0:41:41ending the week with an outstanding total of £530.56.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43I think she's happy.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48James started with £525.44,
0:41:48 > 0:41:53but after costs made a profit of £113.10,

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Well done, Jimmy!
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Remember, all these profits go to Children In Need.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09James, congratulations. You were wonderful.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- Thank you.- But I want you to take me for a typical London lunch.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Is that these jellied things...
0:42:16 > 0:42:21Eels, love. Whelks and eels. Come on, get in there, love.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Ah, they deserve a celebratory lunch -
0:42:25 > 0:42:28after all, it's been an eventful week for our talented duo.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32It started out rather heavy-going.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37And for James things got even harder.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40I'm concentrating and trying not to stick my tongue out
0:42:40 > 0:42:43which I normally do when concentrating.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45They picked up bargains, going for a song.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46Rock'n'roll, man.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51And empires rose and fell at the drop of a gavel.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54I'm awful tempted with Napoleon.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55I think a lot of women were.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59But most of all they had some unforgettable memories.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Oh.- Oh, mind your head. - Getting attacked.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- You're coming home with Mummy.- Aw.
