0:00:01 > 0:00:05- It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.- All right, viewers?
0:00:05 > 0:00:08With £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, yes!
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Sold. Going, going, gone.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction,
0:00:16 > 0:00:18but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22- 50p!- There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Come on, then.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28So, will it be the high road to glory, or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Oh! Come on, I've got to get another shop.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41They may be cruising along, enjoying the beautiful sunshine in Dundee,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44but there's an air of competitive spirit
0:00:44 > 0:00:46coming from our antiques experts, Mark Stacey
0:00:46 > 0:00:47and Catherine Southon,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50as they begin the third leg of their road trip.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- Catherine, another auction down. - I know.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- You pulled it out of the bag, didn't you?- I did, yeah.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00How did that happen?
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- I do not know how that happened. But I'm over it.- You're over it? Good.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06That was history.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09There's still plenty to play for,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12including our experts' impromptu dog challenge.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Mark, one of our road trip veterans, proved he has a nose for a bargain,
0:01:19 > 0:01:23making a whopping profit with his doggy offering in the last leg.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27I mean, how horribly revolting is that?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29At 48, are you all done?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And Catherine is a dab hand at the antiques game,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39especially when unleashed on all things scientific and maritime.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41But she's not so good on dry land.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Oh, crikey, I haven't done this for such a long time!
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Our pair began their journey with £200 each and two auctions later,
0:01:49 > 0:01:54it's still all to play for with just over £25 separating the pair.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Catherine made it all square with victory in the second auction,
0:01:59 > 0:02:04giving her a more than respectable £245.90 to spend today.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08While Mark faltered a little in the last auction, but still
0:02:08 > 0:02:12has the lead overall with £271.34 to play with.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20Mark and Catherine are nipping about in their nifty 1968 MG Midget.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25- I'm going to be very, very tactical. - Are you?- Yes. The gloves are off.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- That worries me a bit. - The gloves are off, Catherine.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Our travelling antiquarians are cruising the length of Scotland.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35They started in New Abbey in Dumfries & Galloway,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38visiting Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen and Elgin,
0:02:38 > 0:02:42before ending up in the beautiful capital city of Edinburgh.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47On this leg, they will start in Dundee
0:02:47 > 0:02:50and follow the Northern Lights to the granite city of Aberdeen,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53clocking up 115 miles along the way.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Dundee is home to the longest railway bridge in Europe,
0:02:58 > 0:03:03spanning just over two miles across the silvery Tay.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Catherine is dropping Mark off at his first shop.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Once a pig farm, then a garage repair shop,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13it's now filled with a wonderful array of collectables and oddities.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- I think you're going to need a lot of luck here.- Oh, thanks very much!
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- Are you trying to unnerve me?- Yep.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Well, I'll tell you one thing, it won't work.- Have fun!
0:03:24 > 0:03:26It's just as well these two are old friends.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32Inside Clepington Antiques, owner Derek is standing by to help.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Hello, I'm Mark.- I'm Derek, how do you do?- Nice to meet you, Derek.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38With Catherine snapping at his heels after the last auction,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Mark's decided to get all tactical on us.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44What I'm trying to do, we're going to a sale room,
0:03:44 > 0:03:48so I'm trying to find things like this which may need some restoration
0:03:48 > 0:03:51but it looks as if it's just come from a house clearance.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57But there's no price on that.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59CRASH
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Oh, that's a good tactic, Mark!
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Can I just say something to you at home? That's not recommended!
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- You shouldn't actually do that. - No, you should not.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Unless you want to pay the full ticket price for it.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Thankfully, though, nothing is broken,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19but best find something else to look at, eh?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Oh-oh, what have we got here? A pooch purchase, perhaps?
0:04:31 > 0:04:36I just think these are so ridiculous, these things here.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39That's how I felt after the auction yesterday.
0:04:39 > 0:04:45So I had a lot to drink last night and then I woke up like that.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I just think they are so absolutely bizarre.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52- They are liquor bottles, aren't they?- That's right, decanters.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55But to buy them, I have a price in mind, which is very mean.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Is it?- Yes.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- I will say £10 for the three. - Do you know what? It's so close.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- You're going to give me 12? - No, I'm not.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09No, that would be far too generous for you, Mark.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I would love to buy them for a fiver,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13because they are just fun, aren't they?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- They are fun. - Can we have them for a fiver?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Call it £2 each, £6.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Gosh, you are mean.- Absolutely.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25That's cheap, isn't it? £6.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Oh, all right, £6.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31What have I done? What have I done?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Who can say, Mark? Let's hope they don't leave you in the doghouse!
0:05:36 > 0:05:37But he's not finished yet.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40There's something else tempting in Derek's den,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42an old industrial office phone.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Gosh, this is quite heavy, actually.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50It's an unusual looking phone, isn't it? It's Bakelite.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I think date-wise,
0:05:52 > 0:05:57we're probably looking at no later than 1950s, possibly to the '30s.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01A little pull-out here for your extensions or for writing a note.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04These old dial-up phones can be in vogue,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06whether as decorative pieces or rewired to work again
0:06:06 > 0:06:08with today's technology.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Priced at £30, time to get Derek back to see if your number's up.
0:06:13 > 0:06:20- What could that be? - I would do that for £20 for you.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22£20. That's nothing, really,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25for a piece of industrial history.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Oh, I've got to have it for £20. Thank you.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33So, ringing up a total of £26, Mark's raid has resulted in
0:06:33 > 0:06:37three dog-themed bottles and an industrial telephone.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Whilst Mark shops,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Catherine is making the short journey to Discovery Point
0:06:43 > 0:06:46to explore the greatest monument in the history of this maritime city,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49the Royal research ship, Discovery.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Though she has sailed from many ports,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54the Discovery was built right here in Dundee.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58It was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship
0:06:58 > 0:06:59to be built in Britain,
0:06:59 > 0:07:03a ship tailor-made for the first adventure of its kind.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Wow, this is fabulous.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09The Discovery was launched in 1901 for Antarctic expeditions.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Her first mission was to carry Robert Falcon Scott
0:07:13 > 0:07:17and Ernest Shackleton to the south polar region.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21She is now the centrepiece of a visitor attraction in her hometown.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Being a real aficionado of all things scientific and maritime,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33this is a real treat for our Catherine, who will be shown around
0:07:33 > 0:07:36by Jill from the Dundee Heritage Trust.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41Take me from the start, Jill. 1901, the expedition started?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Yes, she was the first ship in the UK ever built
0:07:44 > 0:07:46expressly for scientific research.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49The idea was, she was heading off to the Antarctic for the first
0:07:49 > 0:07:51major scientific expedition there,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54headed by Captain Robert Scott.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58He was obviously to become famous as Scott of the Antarctic later.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01The Discovery was a ship that neither Scott nor Shackleton
0:08:01 > 0:08:03were particularly enamoured with.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Its shallow hull rolled badly in the open heavy seas
0:08:07 > 0:08:10but it was designed to withstand being frozen into the ice
0:08:10 > 0:08:14with iron-shod bows, made to ride up and crush the ice
0:08:14 > 0:08:15with its deadweight.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21This was heading south into really the vast unknown.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26More was known by astronauts going to the moon for the first time
0:08:26 > 0:08:29than these early polar explorers knew what they would face
0:08:29 > 0:08:32when they headed to the Antarctic in 1901.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Five months after setting sail from the Isle of Wight,
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Scott sighted the Antarctic in January 1802.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41He began charting the coastline
0:08:41 > 0:08:46and was able to determine that Antarctica was indeed a continent.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Unfortunately, the ship became trapped in the ice
0:08:49 > 0:08:52and was stuck fast for two years.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56I think it's a testament to how strong and well built this ship was.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01They were actually stuck in the ice 20 miles from open water
0:09:01 > 0:09:05and the ship withstood the pressures of the ice
0:09:05 > 0:09:10and when she was freed from the ice, she was virtually unscathed.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Below deck, Scott and his team would be hard at work,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15making some of the most incredible geographic,
0:09:15 > 0:09:19geological and biological discoveries of the time.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23This is wonderful.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26This is the officers' and scientists' ward room
0:09:26 > 0:09:29with its beautiful mahogany panelled doors.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33The first thing that strikes me is, it seems very plush,
0:09:33 > 0:09:39very rich with all this mahogany panels. It seems a bit upper-class.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41It is, it is a very grand space
0:09:41 > 0:09:44but you have to remember that this was a working space as well.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47The ward room table, during the daytime,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50would have been used for the scientific work of the expedition,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53so they would have been preparing animal skins, dissecting specimens.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Really? Outside their cabins?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Yes, there would have been horrendous smells
0:09:57 > 0:09:59and things going on in here during the day.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02But come the evening, that was all cleared away.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04The white linen tablecloth would go on,
0:10:04 > 0:10:08out would come the Royal Doulton china, the silver-plated cutlery.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13There would be grace, speeches and proper etiquette for dinner.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- You know...- So they would eat...
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Real classic Edwardian Royal Naval traditions, yes.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21The Discovery Museum interprets the vessel
0:10:21 > 0:10:23on all of her voyages,
0:10:23 > 0:10:27with information on her scientific activities as well as original items
0:10:27 > 0:10:29from the ship's inventory.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34This is the expedition crockery that was specially produced
0:10:34 > 0:10:40by Royal Dalton for use on the officers' ward room.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43So we have the expedition crest, which is a rather nice image
0:10:43 > 0:10:48of a penguin, and the iceberg, Discovery Antarctic Expedition 1901.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52And it was all part of keeping up morale and doing things properly.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56And this is an object which I almost feel has the status of a holy relic.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59These are snow goggles
0:10:59 > 0:11:03and these were actually Captain Robert Falcon Scott's.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- They have his initials carved into the top - RFS.- Oh, yes!
0:11:07 > 0:11:09But these were an essential piece of kit
0:11:09 > 0:11:13when you were in the Antarctic on the ice, to protect your eyes
0:11:13 > 0:11:17from the incredible glare of the sun on the vast expanse of ice.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21And if you didn't wear them or lost them or whatever,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24you could suffer from snow blindness.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26The ship went on to perform other duties,
0:11:26 > 0:11:30but none as dramatic as the Discovery expedition.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Tragically, it was on a subsequent adventure that Scott lost his life,
0:11:33 > 0:11:38succumbing to the unforgiving Antarctic climate.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Though today, the Discovery remains a monument to the courage
0:11:41 > 0:11:45and adventurous spirit of the early Antarctic explorers.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49With the wind in their sails, Catherine and Mark
0:11:49 > 0:11:52have met to drive the 13 miles north
0:11:52 > 0:11:56to the market town of Forfar, in Angus, where Mark has been
0:11:56 > 0:12:00dropped off at the compact and bijou Forfar Antiques And Collectables.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Am I in the right place?- You are.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08It's very small.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09No need to be personal!
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Well, they do say good things come in small packages, Mark,
0:12:12 > 0:12:16and David may just have a few bits of treasure in his wee shop.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Wow! I suppose I'd better just start at the door...
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- And work your way through. - I'll see you in about half an hour.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- That panel is rather fun, isn't it? - That's lovely, isn't it?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- That's really stylish.- Hmm.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I love the marquetry work on it.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46Marquetry is the art and craft of applying pieces of veneer
0:12:46 > 0:12:48to form floral decorative patterns.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50That's not £50, is it?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53It would be lovely if I could buy it for £50!
0:12:53 > 0:12:55HE MOUTHS
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- How much is it?- 175. HE GASPS
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- David, I thought you and I were going to get on.- Aye, maybe we will.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04THEY LAUGH
0:13:04 > 0:13:08It's one to think about, Mark, but it's a lot of money.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11What's that?
0:13:11 > 0:13:15It looks Austrian, maybe. I'm not sure. Has it got a...?
0:13:15 > 0:13:21- It's got "No 3 England", but just a number.- It looks... Yeah.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- It kind of looks like it's advertising something.- Mm.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- What would you put in there, spills? - Tapers, yeah, something like that.
0:13:28 > 0:13:34- A polar bear.- Yeah. - That's quite amusing, actually.- Mm.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38This majolica-glazed vase has a ticket price of £35,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42but with two items catching his eye at a total of over £200,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Mark has a cunning plan.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- You couldn't do the two for £100, could you?- No.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53But what I will do for you is, I will do 130.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Do you know what I'm going to say? To heck with it!
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I really like them and that's all that counts. Thank you, David.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- £130 for the two of them.- Yep.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Well done, Mark, two more items in the old bag.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11That's £110 for the marquetry panel and £20 for the polar bear vase.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Now, let's see if Catherine is as flash with her cash.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19She's headed five miles east, to Letham,
0:14:19 > 0:14:23in search of her shop du jour, Lovejoy Antiques.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Gosh, this is a treasure trove, isn't it? Hello! Hello, I'm Catherine.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Nice to meet you.- I'm Barbara. - Hello, Barbara.
0:14:30 > 0:14:36Eagle-eyed Catherine quickly spots something pretty she likes.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40This actually has caught my eye. That's quite sweet.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I think it's caught my eye because I would love to wear it myself.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47That's quite nice. It's stamped 925, so it's silver.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50And I think these are probably amethyst.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53What could you do that for?
0:14:55 > 0:15:00I was asking 55, but I could bring it down to...
0:15:00 > 0:15:0240?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06It's in the Art Nouveau style, but maybe doesn't have a lot of age.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08One to think about.
0:15:08 > 0:15:14Now, here's a rather snooty-looking fellow for your doggy challenge, Catherine.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20SHE CHUCKLES It's actually an ashtray!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22This is fabulous!
0:15:22 > 0:15:26He's absolutely brilliant.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Now, Mark bought kitsch last time,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32but there is absolutely no competition here.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34This is fabulous.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I think she likes it!
0:15:36 > 0:15:40It's a cut above Mark's, certainly in price, with £75 on the ticket.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Smoking-related pieces are no longer the height of fashion,
0:15:43 > 0:15:47but Catherine seems to have fallen for its more quirky quality.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49That's two items to consider.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Could this be a third?
0:15:53 > 0:15:54What does this pen say?
0:15:56 > 0:16:00They can do quite well at auctions. 14 carat...
0:16:00 > 0:16:05Yeah, but it's important to check the nib, see if it's damaged in any way.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08You might have expected that e-mails would have killed
0:16:08 > 0:16:11the art of letter writing, but actually these days
0:16:11 > 0:16:14fountain pens are again becoming very popular.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18This one is inscribed "The Queen's pen," possibly in celebration of
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Her Majesty's coronation,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22which might explain its ticket price of £55.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Could it be 20?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27No.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Based on that, it would be 40.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Ah, Bab's not for turning.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37This Iron Lady of antiques is holding firm on her appraisal,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40so Catherine is looking to bundle the three items
0:16:40 > 0:16:42at a knock-down price.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44The dog, the necklace and the pen.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46130.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Yeah, I think 120 is absolute tops.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52OK, then.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55So, that's just under half Catherine's budget gone
0:16:55 > 0:16:56in her first shop,
0:16:56 > 0:17:00with the silver necklace and fountain pen at £30 each
0:17:00 > 0:17:04and at £60 for the ceramic poodle ashtray.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08She's certainly determined to win the pooch purchase prize.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11What a busy day's shopping that's been.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Time to put your feet up and reflect on a job well done. Nighty-night.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21It's another fine day as our lovely couple hit the road again
0:17:21 > 0:17:24and do I detect some love in the air?
0:17:24 > 0:17:29- This is so nice! This is wonderful. It couldn't be more perfect. - No cares in the world.
0:17:29 > 0:17:35- You and I...- Together.- Ohhh! - Two little...antique lovebirds.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Awww!
0:17:37 > 0:17:42Sitting in an MG, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45So far Catherine has visited just one shop
0:17:45 > 0:17:49but managed to spend a mighty £120 on three pieces -
0:17:49 > 0:17:51a ceramic poodle,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53a gold-nibbed fountain pen
0:17:53 > 0:17:57and an amethyst and silver necklace.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01She still has £125.90 to spend.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Mark has gone one better, buying four items already
0:18:05 > 0:18:08for an even mightier £156.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12He bought three novelty dog-themed liqueur bottles,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14a Bakelite phone,
0:18:14 > 0:18:18a rare Art Deco marquetry panel and a polar bear vase.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23So he still has £115.34 to spend accordingly.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Continuing their ascent north into Aberdeenshire,
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Mark is dropping Catherine off in the lovely village of Dinnet.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35But Catherine isn't here to sightsee, oh, no,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37she's going to spend in Auld Alliance Antiques,
0:18:37 > 0:18:41and she is wasting no time getting owner Dave
0:18:41 > 0:18:43to show her a nice provincial piece.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- That's provincial Chinese.- Oh, that's nice, isn't it?- It's lovely.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Oh, I like that.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54It's very simple but very attractive design. Might be 18th century.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56It has got a lovely feel about it. Nice colouring.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59And this is a nice design.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02But there's not really a lot you can say about this, is there?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04It's quite...
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- You could ask the price. - How much do you want for it, Dave?
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Well, I would say...
0:19:10 > 0:19:13..50 quid and I'm sure it's worth a lot more than that.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15It's the sort of thing that can make a lot of money.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- It could do in the right sale. - In the right sale.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21OK, shall we think about that one? Can we put that to one side?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Not content with what's on offer in the main shop,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Catherine is going for a root about in Dave's spare rooms.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Steady!
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I'm really, really scared of spiders, you see.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- You're scared one will come out and bite you?- I'm really frightened.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43- Oh, David, look at those cobwebs. - I know.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Keep calm, Catherine, and carry on.
0:19:47 > 0:19:53- These advertising tins are very desirable.- Very.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Especially the big well known brands.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58And Lipton is right up there with the very well known brands.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03That's wonderful, isn't it? Showing all the tea pickers in Asia.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05That's fabulous.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Is it on every side as well? Oh, that's lovely.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12That's really nice.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15It's just very...how shall I say...?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18..rusty! SHE LAUGHS
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Yes, this rusty tin would have been filled with tea from Sri Lanka,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25or Ceylon, as it was known at that time.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27How much do you want for that?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29About 50 quid.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Yeah...
0:20:30 > 0:20:33But because you're a special person you get it for a bit less.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38- Oh, am I?- Mm!- You and I are going to get on well, Dave!
0:20:38 > 0:20:41You'd probably get on a bit better if you made him an offer.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44What could you do the two at? 50 and 40?
0:20:46 > 0:20:4780 quid for the two.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Don't look at me like that! - Like what?- My heart will melt.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56HE LAUGHS Like what?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Well, 75.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05I'm happy to give you 40 for that bowl, because I think that's fine.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Um, I'd like to give you a little bit less than 35 for that, though.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- 30, then.- Yeah. - That'll be 70 for the two.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Is that all right? Are you all right with that?- Yeah, that's OK.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20You could do really well out of that.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I think you could do really well out of that.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26And that's your shopping all done and dusted.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Meanwhile, Mark's made his way five miles north,
0:21:29 > 0:21:33to the village of Tarland, hoping to clean up with a bargain buy
0:21:33 > 0:21:36at Tower Workshop, where George is holding the fort.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Welcome to Tarland.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50I really like this.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53This is called Mauchline ware,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56which is particularly appropriate for Scotland.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59And it's basically an item of Treen.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Treen is any item which is small and turned of wood.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Mauchline ware was made in the Ayrshire town of that name
0:22:06 > 0:22:08for over 100 years,
0:22:08 > 0:22:11ending when the last factory producing these collectable pieces
0:22:11 > 0:22:14burnt down in 1933.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16For me it's appropriate, I suppose,
0:22:16 > 0:22:20because on the front we've got "Castle Street, Aberdeen."
0:22:20 > 0:22:23And on the back we've got...
0:22:23 > 0:22:26"The Queen's Statue, Aberdeen."
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Queen Victoria.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33This is, I think, sort of mid-19th century, 1860-ish.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35But it's £120.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Time to get George.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Can you do it for 40? Give me a bit of a fighting chance.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46- You know what...- I know, I know. - I'm not known for my discounts.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- Oh, you are! You're great, George. - That is a bargain!
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- Do you want me to come back?- I want you to come back.- So let's say 40.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Well done.- I hate you.- You're a star.- I hate you.- But I love you.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Thank you, George. Done! I've bought Aberdeen for £40.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Well, not the whole of Aberdeen, just Castle Street.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05My, my, it's not even the end of the day
0:23:05 > 0:23:08and both our experts are done with all their shopping.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12And to celebrate, Mark is getting back on the road
0:23:12 > 0:23:13and heading for Inverurie
0:23:13 > 0:23:17to visit one of the area's most magnificent castles.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Mark has arrived at the spectacular Castle Fraser,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24home to the clan Fraser.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27The Frasers have been strongly associated with the Highlands
0:23:27 > 0:23:29since the 13th century.
0:23:29 > 0:23:35The name Fraser originates from Frezel, the name of a French knight
0:23:35 > 0:23:38who was part of William the Conqueror's invading force.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- Hello, I'm Mark.- Hello, I'm Eleanor. Welcome to Castle Fraser.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- I'm really looking forward to this. Shall we go in?- Yes, let's.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Thank you.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- This is a grand room, Eleanor. - It is.- Why are we here?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58We're here to see this painting of Andrew, the first Lord Fraser.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02He is the founder of the Frasers and he built most of what you see
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- in the castle today, so it's his creation.- It's a great room.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10- I'm rather worried, though, that there is a funny hole in the wall.- Oh, gosh, yes!
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Clever of you to spot that. Why don't we go and have a look at that?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15As Mark has noticed,
0:24:15 > 0:24:19the striking simplicity of the walls in the great hall
0:24:19 > 0:24:24is interrupted by the Laird's Lug, meaning the Laird's Ear,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27a hole in the wall designed to listen in on any guests
0:24:27 > 0:24:29plotting against the Frasers.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34- Oh, yes, I can see straightaway. That's the hole.- Yes.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Can I have look down there?- Yes, do. Let's see what we can see.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Let's have a little look. Oh, yes, you get a really good view
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- of the hole, don't you? - You certainly do!
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- It's quite low down, though, isn't it?- It is strangely low down.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51They don't make themselves comfortable.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55And there's a dreadful story associated with that,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59which was that the Frasers had people around from a rival clan,
0:24:59 > 0:25:02possibly the MacDonalds, who were their traditional enemies,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06and they spotted through this hole that they were up to no good
0:25:06 > 0:25:09and they agreed that if Lord Fraser scratched his nose,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12henchmen would burst in and kill everyone.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14And apparently Lord Fraser, during the dinner,
0:25:14 > 0:25:18his nose started to itch and he didn't think and he went...
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- And suddenly...- They weren't all slaughtered?- They were. They were.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Oh, good Lord!
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Well, that's even more brutal
0:25:26 > 0:25:29than my battling on the Antiques Road Trip!
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Well, if you enjoy a good battle,
0:25:31 > 0:25:33we can go and see something quite interesting next.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I'd love to. Lead on.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38From its founding,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41the clan has been active in every major military conflict
0:25:41 > 0:25:46involving Scotland, and after the union, many British ones too,
0:25:46 > 0:25:50with their military spirit passing down through the generations.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53A later notable Fraser who lived in the castle,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Charles Mackenzie Fraser, was an officer
0:25:56 > 0:25:59in the Duke of Wellington's army during the Napoleonic Wars.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Charles has a wonderful story to tell.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04After he joined the army he was sent to Spain
0:26:04 > 0:26:06to attack the castle of Burgos.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10He was ascending the castle on a ladder, leading his men.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- He was shot twice.- No!
0:26:12 > 0:26:16The first shot fractured his skull, and you can see here
0:26:16 > 0:26:20the hat that he was wearing and it actually has the bullet hole...
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- Oh, my good lord!- ..right through it, where he was shot.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29- A very near escape.- Dare I ask what happened to the second bullet?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- The second bullet went into his leg...- No!
0:26:32 > 0:26:35..which he tragically had to have amputated a few weeks later.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39And our prized object in the castle is his wooden leg that he wore,
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- which is just here. - Good heavens above. This is his leg.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46This is his actual wooden leg, yes, which he wore the rest of his life.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48But it didn't slow him down too much
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- because he went on to have 14 children!- 14 children!
0:26:52 > 0:26:54It's a wonderful story.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Eleanor, thank you so much for showing me around.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- I've really enjoyed myself. - A pleasure.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01It's so nice to meet you. I hope you enjoyed it.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03From that story of bravery, we look for a story of hope,
0:27:03 > 0:27:08as our experts reconvene in the castle's gardens
0:27:08 > 0:27:10to reveal their purchases.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Wow! This must be one of the most spectacular backdrops
0:27:14 > 0:27:16the Road Trip has ever had.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Such serenity belies its treacherous past.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Now, keep it friendly, you two!
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Are you ready?- I'm ready. - Please don't tell me off.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Oh, Catherine, that's amazing. - SHE SNORTS
0:27:28 > 0:27:29That is absolutely amazing.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34I've got to look at it. Oh, it's fabulous. But you've copied me!
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Oh, Catherine, that is fabulous.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Oh, I absolutely adore it.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42You've topped mine.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Literally, with a top hat. But I'm honestly...
0:27:46 > 0:27:51- Have you ever seen one like that?- I want him. I'm going home. It's mine.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- I'm not...- Come back! He's so Brighton, isn't he?
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- You're not putting this in the auction.- He's so Brighton, isn't he?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- I'm having it. I'm absolutely having that.- He's so you.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04That's going to win the pooch purchase.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Well, I hope they have your sense of humour and your style in Aberdeen.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- How much did you pay?- £60.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- That's quite a lot.- It probably is. - But I love it.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Yes, I can tell!
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Now, what's this all about?- Well, I bought a tin...- I can see that.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- That's the best side. - Oh, that's lovely, isn't it?
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- It's quite nice, isn't it? - Liptons Tea. Great-looking object.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32- Very, very commercial. - How much is it worth, though?
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- £30, £40?- I spent 30, so...
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- Yes. Pen?- Mmm.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- I quite like that. - And a provincial bowl.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- That could be interesting, though, couldn't it?- No.
0:28:45 > 0:28:50Um, it's Chinese, of a sort, but it's provincial,
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- made in the provinces of China. - But it could be interesting.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54- Someone...- It could be.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57If you keep saying it often enough, Catherine, it could be interesting.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00I think actually, it could be interesting.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- I'm convincing myself.- It could actually be interesting.- OK.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07We'll find out soon enough how interesting it could be.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10So, moving on to Mark's bundle of goodies.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- Ready?- Show me.- You won't like any of these.- I will!- You won't.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18SHE CHUCKLES
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- This is...- This is a little story, this is my pooch purchase.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- But I've got to explain.- Go on.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26This is me after the auction, last shot.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30- This is me at the bar feeling really sorry for myself.- Awww!
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- And that's me in the morning. - Recovering. Oh, that's wonderful.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- They're so kitsch.- Really good.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37£6 for the three.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Oh, for God's sake!
0:29:39 > 0:29:41And for a touch of local interest...
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- Mauchline Ware.- Castle Street, Aberdeen.- SCOTTISH ACCENT: Aberdeen!
0:29:45 > 0:29:49And the Queen's statue, Aberdeen. What does that say?
0:29:49 > 0:29:54- Aberdeen?- I've never seen one of these before, have you?- Yes.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- No, if it makes you feel better. - I love it. I think it's great.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02If somebody wants a funky phone for their bedroom or hall,
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- it's great.- What is it, Bakelite?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08It is JUST Bakelite. It's not 14 carat gold.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10I don't think they did them in the '30s and '50s.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13It's not set with diamonds, it's not platinum,
0:30:13 > 0:30:16it's not ruby encrusted, it's JUST Bakelite.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18That's all it is, Bakelite!
0:30:18 > 0:30:22So, just to be clear, it's a Bakelite phone.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27- One, two, three, four.- No, there is another one.- I knew it.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- I knew you couldn't disappoint. - I think you'll hate it, Catherine.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33I paid far too much for it. But I just fell in love with it.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34I love Art Deco.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39And look at all the marquetry panelling around it.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- That's really, really nice. - But it was a lot of money.- How much?
0:30:43 > 0:30:44110.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47But I think, Catherine...
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- I think you've pulled it off with the pooch purchase.- Do you?- I do.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- But not anything else?- I don't know.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- I just had fun with them, actually, this time.- Well, we should have fun.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59We're not here to sell anything, we are here to have fun.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Yes, and you'll definitely make on those, I think.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07- I'm taking you home.- Oh, good. - Before you witter on any more.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Yes, less wittering, more telling us what you really think.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16I can't believe that reveal. That dog. She's stolen my show.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I want it, I want it, I want it!
0:31:18 > 0:31:21The big panel that Mark showed me at the end,
0:31:21 > 0:31:25I feel that he may have overpaid for that.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28£110 seems to me a lot of money.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33It's time to get back on the road and head to today's auction.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38On the third leg of their road trip,
0:31:38 > 0:31:42our dandy duo have shopped their way through Tayside, Angus,
0:31:42 > 0:31:44and Aberdeenshire, starting in Dundee
0:31:44 > 0:31:46and ending in Aberdeen for the auction.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Thanks to its famous sparkling buildings,
0:31:51 > 0:31:54the granite city of Aberdeen has a very distinctive cityscape.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Known as the oil capital of Europe,
0:31:57 > 0:32:00its auction houses have thrived in this boom town.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Oh, it's there, look.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05It looks more like a pub than an auction.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10- Maybe we can get a drink! - We might need it.- We might need it.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- After today!- We might need it after today.- No, we'll be all right.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16We're fine, we've got each other.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18The auction venue today is not a pub,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21but in fact John Milne Auctioneers,
0:32:21 > 0:32:25which has been specialising in fine arts since 1867.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28So let's find out what today's auctioneer, Alan Fraser,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30thinks of our experts' items.
0:32:30 > 0:32:36It's a mixture of good, not so good and quirky, I would say.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38The marquetry panel, I think
0:32:38 > 0:32:43I have estimated it slightly high at 150 to 200, but I think it's
0:32:43 > 0:32:48a quality thing and hopefully we can get something close to that.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51The Chinese bowl, which has been catalogued as possibly 18th century,
0:32:51 > 0:32:57is much the same as my opinion and we have had interest in it
0:32:57 > 0:33:00and hopefully there'll be interest on the floor as well today.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05Mark Stacey set out on this leg with £271.34
0:33:05 > 0:33:09and splashed out £196 of that on his five lots.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Catherine Southon began this leg with £240.90 and spent almost
0:33:16 > 0:33:21the same as Mark, parting with £195 on her five lots.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26Quiet, please! The auction is about to begin.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- Whatever happens, we'll be smiling. - We will. Don't worry about that.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34- Oh, I won't. I've got you by my side.- You've got me.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39I wonder if Mark's hopes for a profit on his telephone
0:33:39 > 0:33:42will RING true with the bidders.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43£50.
0:33:43 > 0:33:4640 for this item.
0:33:46 > 0:33:4830.
0:33:48 > 0:33:4920, then.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51No-one interested at 20?
0:33:51 > 0:33:5520 I'm bid. 22. 24. 26.
0:33:55 > 0:34:0028. 30. 32. 34. 36.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02- 38.- Well done!
0:34:02 > 0:34:0542. OK, 42 with the gentleman seated.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Any more interest after 42?
0:34:08 > 0:34:12Anybody at all after 42? No-one?
0:34:12 > 0:34:17- 42 it is.- Well done. Well done.- That's OK.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Looks like you got a bit of a fright there, Mark.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22But you called it right. A great start.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Mark's up again with his big purchase,
0:34:25 > 0:34:27the Art Deco marquetry panel.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31But has he overpaid and let his heart rule his head?
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- It looks nice at a distance. - It looks better from a distance.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36It is better from a distance.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38£100 for this item.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- How much?- 80 for the panel.
0:34:41 > 0:34:4360 for the panel.
0:34:44 > 0:34:4840, then. No-one interested at 40 for this panel?
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- 40 I'm bid.- Holding up now. - 40 for the panel.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Anybody at all above 40?
0:34:54 > 0:34:5642. 44.
0:34:56 > 0:35:0046. 48. 50. 52. 54.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04- 56.- It's going up.- 56.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Any interest after 56?
0:35:07 > 0:35:09- Oh, dear.- No-one at all after 56?
0:35:09 > 0:35:11No-one? 56 it is.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14So I only lost...£54.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Oh, no. He's not taking that loss very well.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Would you like me to put my arm around you?
0:35:22 > 0:35:26I couldn't think of anything worse at the moment, Catherine, actually.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Well, after that crushing comment, Catherine,
0:35:29 > 0:35:34it's time for your first lot - the gold-nibbed fountain pen.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38£80 for this nice fountain pen.
0:35:38 > 0:35:3960.
0:35:39 > 0:35:4140 for the pen.
0:35:42 > 0:35:4320, then.
0:35:43 > 0:35:4720 I'm bid. Any interest after 20 for this pen?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Anybody? 22.
0:35:49 > 0:35:5024. 26.
0:35:50 > 0:35:5228.
0:35:52 > 0:35:5430. 32.
0:35:54 > 0:35:5632 at the back of the room for the pen.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Any interest after 32? 32 it is.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- Oh... I had high hopes for that. - Did you?- Yeah.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Well, that £2 profit will be a loss after auction costs,
0:36:07 > 0:36:08I'm afraid.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Catherine is up again.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Will her amethyst and silver necklace get her back on track?
0:36:14 > 0:36:1540 for the necklace.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Any interest at 40?
0:36:17 > 0:36:1930, then.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23No-one at 30 at all? 30 I'm bid.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- You got 30, Catherine.- At 30.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Anybody else interested?
0:36:28 > 0:36:3035.
0:36:30 > 0:36:3240.
0:36:32 > 0:36:3440 at the back of the room.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Any interest after 40 for this piece of jewellery?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- 40 it is.- I think that's what it's worth.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41You've wiped your face with it.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45And a little bit more. A neat £10 profit there, Catherine.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Now, this should spark some local interest.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52It's Mark's Mauchline pedestal vase, decorated with views of Aberdeen.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54£50 for this item.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Ooh!- 40.
0:36:56 > 0:36:5830 for this item.
0:36:58 > 0:37:0220. No-one interested at 20?
0:37:02 > 0:37:0410, then. 10 I'm bid.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Any interest after 10 for the Mauchline Ware?
0:37:07 > 0:37:0912.
0:37:09 > 0:37:1114. 16.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- 18. 20. 22.- Yeah, it's going up.- 24.
0:37:14 > 0:37:1626. 26 nearer me.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19I have 26.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Any interest after 26?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23No-one else?
0:37:23 > 0:37:2426 it is.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- HE SIGHS. - It's just not my day, is it?
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Oh, dear, Mark, another loss.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- Is there anything I can say to ease the pain?- You could leave.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35SHE LAUGHS
0:37:39 > 0:37:41A chance to redeem yourself now, Mark.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45Up next is your polar bear vase.
0:37:45 > 0:37:4840 for the... 40 I'm bid.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Any interest after 40
0:37:50 > 0:37:53for the polar bear? Anybody at all after 40?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Anybody at all?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58No-one? 40 it is.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00It's a little bit up
0:38:00 > 0:38:03but I'm still crashing and burning here, Catherine.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05But who knows? Like the phoenix,
0:38:05 > 0:38:09this small profit may generate a comeback, Mark.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Aha! Time for tea.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Will Catherine's advertising box brew up some interest?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17£50 for the advertising box.
0:38:17 > 0:38:1940.
0:38:19 > 0:38:2130 for this box.
0:38:21 > 0:38:2320, then.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26No-one interested? 20 I'm bid.
0:38:26 > 0:38:31Any interest above 20? I have 20 in the centre of the floor.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Yeah. 22. 24. 26.
0:38:34 > 0:38:3528.
0:38:35 > 0:38:3730.
0:38:37 > 0:38:3832.
0:38:38 > 0:38:4034. 36.
0:38:40 > 0:38:4238. 40.
0:38:42 > 0:38:4442. 44.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47OK, 44...in the middle of the room.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50No-one else? 44 it is.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Something you'd naturally put in the bin...
0:38:54 > 0:38:57..has made £44.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Thank you very much, Aberdeen.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01And good night.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Glad to see you're taking this well, Mark! Not.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Another steady profit for the lady.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09There is no justice in this business.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11He's bitter.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- Are you making faces?- No.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Up next is the first of the dog challenge lots.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25Can Catherine's pedigree poodle win this leg's challenge?
0:39:25 > 0:39:29We have this vintage Italian ceramic poodle with top hat,
0:39:29 > 0:39:31used as an ashtray.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- People are laughing. It's making people...- Yes, I know.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38But that's good, though.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- Not always.- £60.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- 40 for this novelty poodle.- Come on!
0:39:44 > 0:39:4630.
0:39:46 > 0:39:4920 for the novelty poodle. 20 I'm bid.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Any interest after 20 for the novelty poodle?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Any interest at all after 20?
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- I can't believe it. - Any interest after 20?
0:39:57 > 0:40:00No-one? 20 it is.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Catherine!
0:40:02 > 0:40:06I'm really annoyed because I would have paid £100.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10And with that loss, they are almost neck and neck again.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15So, how will Mark's novelty liqueur bottles fare?
0:40:15 > 0:40:19This is it, my last lot of the sale. Please redeem me a little bit.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23£80 for these liqueur items.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25£80? You're having a laugh.
0:40:25 > 0:40:2750? 40?
0:40:29 > 0:40:3130, then?
0:40:31 > 0:40:3320?
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Don't people put their alcohol in decanters any more?
0:40:36 > 0:40:3810, then.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Nobody interested at 10?
0:40:40 > 0:40:4210 I'm bid.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Any interest after 10?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Anybody at all after 10? No-one at all?
0:40:46 > 0:40:48No-one? 10 it is.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Time to lick your wounds, Mark.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52You might have won the dog challenge,
0:40:52 > 0:40:55but it's been a "ruff!" auction for you.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Now, Catherine needs to avoid making a loss here.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Mark didn't find it interesting,
0:41:00 > 0:41:03but what will bidders make of her Chinese bowl?
0:41:03 > 0:41:05We've had some interest in this.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08I can open the bidding on this item at £60.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- There we are.- 65.
0:41:12 > 0:41:1470. 75.
0:41:14 > 0:41:1680. 85.
0:41:16 > 0:41:1790. 95.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- Wow!- 100.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23110. 120. 130. 140.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- 150.- Are they serious?
0:41:25 > 0:41:29150 with Steve. Any interest after 150?
0:41:29 > 0:41:30Anybody at all?
0:41:30 > 0:41:36- No-one? 150.- That's amazing. - £110 profit.- That's amazing.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38What a finish, eh?
0:41:38 > 0:41:42And with that excellent profit, Catherine takes today's crown.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Well, Catherine, on that pleasant note, let's go.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Mark started this leg with £271.34
0:41:50 > 0:41:54and sustained a few bruising losses,
0:41:54 > 0:41:56resulting in a loss of £53.32
0:41:56 > 0:42:02after auction costs, leaving him with £218.02 to take forward.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Don't look so gloomy.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Catherine kicked off this leg with £245.90
0:42:07 > 0:42:11and that provincial Chinese bowl helped her make
0:42:11 > 0:42:16a very respectable £44.52 after auction costs.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Winning her second auction in a row,
0:42:18 > 0:42:22she starts next time with a bumper £290.42.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Go, girl!
0:42:24 > 0:42:26To the victor the spoils.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27- Oh, thank you!- Get in.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Get in!
0:42:31 > 0:42:35Well, Catherine, I can't believe it. I'm back to where I started.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38- Oh, Mark. - And you're way, way ahead of me.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43- There's no justice in this world, is there?- There's no justice.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46I worry when you're in this mood. HORN TOOTS
0:42:46 > 0:42:47Oooh!
0:42:49 > 0:42:51That's what you think of Aberdeen.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Cheer up, Mark, another auction awaits, mate.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01On the next leg of their Scottish adventure, Mark has his ups and downs...
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Oh!
0:43:03 > 0:43:06..whilst Catherine proves she's no pushover.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09- You should be ashamed of yourself. - Really?
0:43:09 > 0:43:11For that amount of money, Catherine.
