-It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.

-All right, viewers?

0:00:010:00:05

With £200 each, a classic car and a goal -

0:00:050:00:08

to scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:080:00:10

I'm on fire, yes!

0:00:100:00:12

Sold. Going, going, gone.

0:00:120:00:13

The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction,

0:00:130:00:16

but it's no mean feat.

0:00:160:00:18

-50p!

-There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.

0:00:180:00:22

Come on, then.

0:00:220:00:23

So, will it be the high road to glory, or the slow road to disaster?

0:00:230:00:28

Oh! Come on, I've got to get another shop.

0:00:280:00:30

This is the Antiques Road Trip.

0:00:300:00:33

They may be cruising along, enjoying the beautiful sunshine in Dundee,

0:00:370:00:41

but there's an air of competitive spirit

0:00:410:00:44

coming from our antiques experts, Mark Stacey

0:00:440:00:46

and Catherine Southon,

0:00:460:00:47

as they begin the third leg of their road trip.

0:00:470:00:50

-Catherine, another auction down.

-I know.

0:00:510:00:55

-You pulled it out of the bag, didn't you?

-I did, yeah.

0:00:550:00:58

How did that happen?

0:00:580:01:00

-I do not know how that happened. But I'm over it.

-You're over it? Good.

0:01:000:01:04

That was history.

0:01:040:01:06

There's still plenty to play for,

0:01:070:01:09

including our experts' impromptu dog challenge.

0:01:090:01:12

Mark, one of our road trip veterans, proved he has a nose for a bargain,

0:01:140:01:19

making a whopping profit with his doggy offering in the last leg.

0:01:190:01:23

I mean, how horribly revolting is that?

0:01:230:01:27

At 48, are you all done?

0:01:270:01:29

And Catherine is a dab hand at the antiques game,

0:01:320:01:35

especially when unleashed on all things scientific and maritime.

0:01:350:01:39

But she's not so good on dry land.

0:01:390:01:41

Oh, crikey, I haven't done this for such a long time!

0:01:420:01:46

Our pair began their journey with £200 each and two auctions later,

0:01:460:01:49

it's still all to play for with just over £25 separating the pair.

0:01:490:01:54

Catherine made it all square with victory in the second auction,

0:01:560:01:59

giving her a more than respectable £245.90 to spend today.

0:01:590:02:04

While Mark faltered a little in the last auction, but still

0:02:040:02:08

has the lead overall with £271.34 to play with.

0:02:080:02:12

Mark and Catherine are nipping about in their nifty 1968 MG Midget.

0:02:150:02:20

-I'm going to be very, very tactical.

-Are you?

-Yes. The gloves are off.

0:02:200:02:25

-That worries me a bit.

-The gloves are off, Catherine.

0:02:250:02:27

Our travelling antiquarians are cruising the length of Scotland.

0:02:290:02:32

They started in New Abbey in Dumfries & Galloway,

0:02:320:02:35

visiting Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen and Elgin,

0:02:350:02:38

before ending up in the beautiful capital city of Edinburgh.

0:02:380:02:42

On this leg, they will start in Dundee

0:02:440:02:47

and follow the Northern Lights to the granite city of Aberdeen,

0:02:470:02:50

clocking up 115 miles along the way.

0:02:500:02:53

Dundee is home to the longest railway bridge in Europe,

0:02:540:02:58

spanning just over two miles across the silvery Tay.

0:02:580:03:03

Catherine is dropping Mark off at his first shop.

0:03:030:03:05

Once a pig farm, then a garage repair shop,

0:03:050:03:09

it's now filled with a wonderful array of collectables and oddities.

0:03:090:03:13

-I think you're going to need a lot of luck here.

-Oh, thanks very much!

0:03:130:03:18

-Are you trying to unnerve me?

-Yep.

0:03:180:03:20

-Well, I'll tell you one thing, it won't work.

-Have fun!

0:03:200:03:24

It's just as well these two are old friends.

0:03:240:03:26

Inside Clepington Antiques, owner Derek is standing by to help.

0:03:260:03:32

-Hello, I'm Mark.

-I'm Derek, how do you do?

-Nice to meet you, Derek.

0:03:320:03:35

With Catherine snapping at his heels after the last auction,

0:03:350:03:38

Mark's decided to get all tactical on us.

0:03:380:03:41

What I'm trying to do, we're going to a sale room,

0:03:410:03:44

so I'm trying to find things like this which may need some restoration

0:03:440:03:48

but it looks as if it's just come from a house clearance.

0:03:480:03:51

But there's no price on that.

0:03:540:03:57

CRASH

0:03:570:03:59

Oh, that's a good tactic, Mark!

0:03:590:04:02

Can I just say something to you at home? That's not recommended!

0:04:020:04:07

-You shouldn't actually do that.

-No, you should not.

0:04:080:04:12

Unless you want to pay the full ticket price for it.

0:04:120:04:14

Thankfully, though, nothing is broken,

0:04:140:04:17

but best find something else to look at, eh?

0:04:170:04:19

Oh-oh, what have we got here? A pooch purchase, perhaps?

0:04:270:04:31

I just think these are so ridiculous, these things here.

0:04:310:04:36

That's how I felt after the auction yesterday.

0:04:360:04:39

So I had a lot to drink last night and then I woke up like that.

0:04:390:04:45

I just think they are so absolutely bizarre.

0:04:450:04:47

-They are liquor bottles, aren't they?

-That's right, decanters.

0:04:470:04:52

But to buy them, I have a price in mind, which is very mean.

0:04:520:04:55

-Is it?

-Yes.

0:04:550:04:57

-I will say £10 for the three.

-Do you know what? It's so close.

0:04:580:05:03

-You're going to give me 12?

-No, I'm not.

0:05:030:05:06

No, that would be far too generous for you, Mark.

0:05:060:05:09

I would love to buy them for a fiver,

0:05:090:05:11

because they are just fun, aren't they?

0:05:110:05:13

-They are fun.

-Can we have them for a fiver?

0:05:130:05:15

Call it £2 each, £6.

0:05:150:05:17

-Gosh, you are mean.

-Absolutely.

0:05:180:05:21

That's cheap, isn't it? £6.

0:05:210:05:25

Oh, all right, £6.

0:05:250:05:27

What have I done? What have I done?

0:05:270:05:31

Who can say, Mark? Let's hope they don't leave you in the doghouse!

0:05:310:05:35

But he's not finished yet.

0:05:360:05:37

There's something else tempting in Derek's den,

0:05:370:05:40

an old industrial office phone.

0:05:400:05:42

Gosh, this is quite heavy, actually.

0:05:420:05:44

It's an unusual looking phone, isn't it? It's Bakelite.

0:05:460:05:50

I think date-wise,

0:05:500:05:52

we're probably looking at no later than 1950s, possibly to the '30s.

0:05:520:05:57

A little pull-out here for your extensions or for writing a note.

0:05:570:06:01

These old dial-up phones can be in vogue,

0:06:010:06:04

whether as decorative pieces or rewired to work again

0:06:040:06:06

with today's technology.

0:06:060:06:08

Priced at £30, time to get Derek back to see if your number's up.

0:06:080:06:12

-What could that be?

-I would do that for £20 for you.

0:06:130:06:20

£20. That's nothing, really,

0:06:200:06:22

for a piece of industrial history.

0:06:220:06:25

Oh, I've got to have it for £20. Thank you.

0:06:260:06:29

So, ringing up a total of £26, Mark's raid has resulted in

0:06:290:06:33

three dog-themed bottles and an industrial telephone.

0:06:330:06:37

Whilst Mark shops,

0:06:380:06:40

Catherine is making the short journey to Discovery Point

0:06:400:06:43

to explore the greatest monument in the history of this maritime city,

0:06:430:06:46

the Royal research ship, Discovery.

0:06:460:06:49

Though she has sailed from many ports,

0:06:490:06:52

the Discovery was built right here in Dundee.

0:06:520:06:54

It was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship

0:06:540:06:58

to be built in Britain,

0:06:580:06:59

a ship tailor-made for the first adventure of its kind.

0:06:590:07:03

Wow, this is fabulous.

0:07:030:07:05

The Discovery was launched in 1901 for Antarctic expeditions.

0:07:050:07:09

Her first mission was to carry Robert Falcon Scott

0:07:090:07:13

and Ernest Shackleton to the south polar region.

0:07:130:07:17

She is now the centrepiece of a visitor attraction in her hometown.

0:07:170:07:21

Being a real aficionado of all things scientific and maritime,

0:07:250:07:30

this is a real treat for our Catherine, who will be shown around

0:07:300:07:33

by Jill from the Dundee Heritage Trust.

0:07:330:07:36

Take me from the start, Jill. 1901, the expedition started?

0:07:360:07:41

Yes, she was the first ship in the UK ever built

0:07:410:07:44

expressly for scientific research.

0:07:440:07:46

The idea was, she was heading off to the Antarctic for the first

0:07:460:07:49

major scientific expedition there,

0:07:490:07:51

headed by Captain Robert Scott.

0:07:510:07:54

He was obviously to become famous as Scott of the Antarctic later.

0:07:540:07:58

The Discovery was a ship that neither Scott nor Shackleton

0:07:580:08:01

were particularly enamoured with.

0:08:010:08:03

Its shallow hull rolled badly in the open heavy seas

0:08:030:08:07

but it was designed to withstand being frozen into the ice

0:08:070:08:10

with iron-shod bows, made to ride up and crush the ice

0:08:100:08:14

with its deadweight.

0:08:140:08:15

This was heading south into really the vast unknown.

0:08:170:08:21

More was known by astronauts going to the moon for the first time

0:08:210:08:26

than these early polar explorers knew what they would face

0:08:260:08:29

when they headed to the Antarctic in 1901.

0:08:290:08:32

Five months after setting sail from the Isle of Wight,

0:08:320:08:35

Scott sighted the Antarctic in January 1802.

0:08:350:08:39

He began charting the coastline

0:08:390:08:41

and was able to determine that Antarctica was indeed a continent.

0:08:410:08:46

Unfortunately, the ship became trapped in the ice

0:08:460:08:49

and was stuck fast for two years.

0:08:490:08:52

I think it's a testament to how strong and well built this ship was.

0:08:520:08:56

They were actually stuck in the ice 20 miles from open water

0:08:560:09:01

and the ship withstood the pressures of the ice

0:09:010:09:05

and when she was freed from the ice, she was virtually unscathed.

0:09:050:09:10

Below deck, Scott and his team would be hard at work,

0:09:100:09:13

making some of the most incredible geographic,

0:09:130:09:15

geological and biological discoveries of the time.

0:09:150:09:19

This is wonderful.

0:09:220:09:23

This is the officers' and scientists' ward room

0:09:230:09:26

with its beautiful mahogany panelled doors.

0:09:260:09:29

The first thing that strikes me is, it seems very plush,

0:09:290:09:33

very rich with all this mahogany panels. It seems a bit upper-class.

0:09:330:09:39

It is, it is a very grand space

0:09:390:09:41

but you have to remember that this was a working space as well.

0:09:410:09:44

The ward room table, during the daytime,

0:09:440:09:47

would have been used for the scientific work of the expedition,

0:09:470:09:50

so they would have been preparing animal skins, dissecting specimens.

0:09:500:09:53

Really? Outside their cabins?

0:09:530:09:55

Yes, there would have been horrendous smells

0:09:550:09:57

and things going on in here during the day.

0:09:570:09:59

But come the evening, that was all cleared away.

0:09:590:10:02

The white linen tablecloth would go on,

0:10:020:10:04

out would come the Royal Doulton china, the silver-plated cutlery.

0:10:040:10:08

There would be grace, speeches and proper etiquette for dinner.

0:10:080:10:13

-You know...

-So they would eat...

0:10:130:10:15

Real classic Edwardian Royal Naval traditions, yes.

0:10:150:10:18

The Discovery Museum interprets the vessel

0:10:180:10:21

on all of her voyages,

0:10:210:10:23

with information on her scientific activities as well as original items

0:10:230:10:27

from the ship's inventory.

0:10:270:10:29

This is the expedition crockery that was specially produced

0:10:300:10:34

by Royal Dalton for use on the officers' ward room.

0:10:340:10:40

So we have the expedition crest, which is a rather nice image

0:10:400:10:43

of a penguin, and the iceberg, Discovery Antarctic Expedition 1901.

0:10:430:10:48

And it was all part of keeping up morale and doing things properly.

0:10:480:10:52

And this is an object which I almost feel has the status of a holy relic.

0:10:520:10:56

These are snow goggles

0:10:560:10:59

and these were actually Captain Robert Falcon Scott's.

0:10:590:11:03

-They have his initials carved into the top - RFS.

-Oh, yes!

0:11:030:11:07

But these were an essential piece of kit

0:11:070:11:09

when you were in the Antarctic on the ice, to protect your eyes

0:11:090:11:13

from the incredible glare of the sun on the vast expanse of ice.

0:11:130:11:17

And if you didn't wear them or lost them or whatever,

0:11:170:11:21

you could suffer from snow blindness.

0:11:210:11:24

The ship went on to perform other duties,

0:11:240:11:26

but none as dramatic as the Discovery expedition.

0:11:260:11:30

Tragically, it was on a subsequent adventure that Scott lost his life,

0:11:300:11:33

succumbing to the unforgiving Antarctic climate.

0:11:330:11:38

Though today, the Discovery remains a monument to the courage

0:11:380:11:41

and adventurous spirit of the early Antarctic explorers.

0:11:410:11:45

With the wind in their sails, Catherine and Mark

0:11:460:11:49

have met to drive the 13 miles north

0:11:490:11:52

to the market town of Forfar, in Angus, where Mark has been

0:11:520:11:56

dropped off at the compact and bijou Forfar Antiques And Collectables.

0:11:560:12:00

-Am I in the right place?

-You are.

0:12:040:12:07

It's very small.

0:12:070:12:08

No need to be personal!

0:12:080:12:09

Well, they do say good things come in small packages, Mark,

0:12:090:12:12

and David may just have a few bits of treasure in his wee shop.

0:12:120:12:16

Wow! I suppose I'd better just start at the door...

0:12:160:12:18

-And work your way through.

-I'll see you in about half an hour.

0:12:180:12:23

-That panel is rather fun, isn't it?

-That's lovely, isn't it?

0:12:320:12:36

-That's really stylish.

-Hmm.

0:12:360:12:38

I love the marquetry work on it.

0:12:380:12:41

Marquetry is the art and craft of applying pieces of veneer

0:12:410:12:46

to form floral decorative patterns.

0:12:460:12:48

That's not £50, is it?

0:12:480:12:50

It would be lovely if I could buy it for £50!

0:12:500:12:53

HE MOUTHS

0:12:530:12:55

-How much is it?

-175. HE GASPS

0:12:550:12:58

-David, I thought you and I were going to get on.

-Aye, maybe we will.

0:12:580:13:02

THEY LAUGH

0:13:030:13:04

It's one to think about, Mark, but it's a lot of money.

0:13:040:13:08

What's that?

0:13:100:13:11

It looks Austrian, maybe. I'm not sure. Has it got a...?

0:13:110:13:15

-It's got "No 3 England", but just a number.

-It looks... Yeah.

0:13:150:13:21

-It kind of looks like it's advertising something.

-Mm.

0:13:210:13:24

-What would you put in there, spills?

-Tapers, yeah, something like that.

0:13:240:13:28

-A polar bear.

-Yeah.

-That's quite amusing, actually.

-Mm.

0:13:280:13:34

This majolica-glazed vase has a ticket price of £35,

0:13:340:13:38

but with two items catching his eye at a total of over £200,

0:13:380:13:42

Mark has a cunning plan.

0:13:420:13:44

-You couldn't do the two for £100, could you?

-No.

0:13:440:13:49

But what I will do for you is, I will do 130.

0:13:490:13:53

Do you know what I'm going to say? To heck with it!

0:13:550:13:58

I really like them and that's all that counts. Thank you, David.

0:13:580:14:01

-£130 for the two of them.

-Yep.

0:14:010:14:03

Well done, Mark, two more items in the old bag.

0:14:030:14:06

That's £110 for the marquetry panel and £20 for the polar bear vase.

0:14:060:14:11

Now, let's see if Catherine is as flash with her cash.

0:14:120:14:16

She's headed five miles east, to Letham,

0:14:160:14:19

in search of her shop du jour, Lovejoy Antiques.

0:14:190:14:23

Gosh, this is a treasure trove, isn't it? Hello! Hello, I'm Catherine.

0:14:230:14:27

-Nice to meet you.

-I'm Barbara.

-Hello, Barbara.

0:14:270:14:30

Eagle-eyed Catherine quickly spots something pretty she likes.

0:14:300:14:36

This actually has caught my eye. That's quite sweet.

0:14:360:14:40

I think it's caught my eye because I would love to wear it myself.

0:14:400:14:44

That's quite nice. It's stamped 925, so it's silver.

0:14:440:14:47

And I think these are probably amethyst.

0:14:470:14:50

What could you do that for?

0:14:510:14:53

I was asking 55, but I could bring it down to...

0:14:550:15:00

40?

0:15:000:15:02

It's in the Art Nouveau style, but maybe doesn't have a lot of age.

0:15:020:15:06

One to think about.

0:15:060:15:08

Now, here's a rather snooty-looking fellow for your doggy challenge, Catherine.

0:15:080:15:14

SHE CHUCKLES It's actually an ashtray!

0:15:160:15:20

This is fabulous!

0:15:200:15:22

He's absolutely brilliant.

0:15:220:15:26

Now, Mark bought kitsch last time,

0:15:260:15:29

but there is absolutely no competition here.

0:15:290:15:32

This is fabulous.

0:15:320:15:34

I think she likes it!

0:15:340:15:36

It's a cut above Mark's, certainly in price, with £75 on the ticket.

0:15:360:15:40

Smoking-related pieces are no longer the height of fashion,

0:15:400:15:43

but Catherine seems to have fallen for its more quirky quality.

0:15:430:15:47

That's two items to consider.

0:15:470:15:49

Could this be a third?

0:15:490:15:50

What does this pen say?

0:15:530:15:54

They can do quite well at auctions. 14 carat...

0:15:560:16:00

Yeah, but it's important to check the nib, see if it's damaged in any way.

0:16:000:16:05

You might have expected that e-mails would have killed

0:16:050:16:08

the art of letter writing, but actually these days

0:16:080:16:11

fountain pens are again becoming very popular.

0:16:110:16:14

This one is inscribed "The Queen's pen," possibly in celebration of

0:16:140:16:18

Her Majesty's coronation,

0:16:180:16:19

which might explain its ticket price of £55.

0:16:190:16:22

Could it be 20?

0:16:230:16:25

No.

0:16:250:16:27

Based on that, it would be 40.

0:16:270:16:29

Ah, Bab's not for turning.

0:16:310:16:33

This Iron Lady of antiques is holding firm on her appraisal,

0:16:330:16:37

so Catherine is looking to bundle the three items

0:16:370:16:40

at a knock-down price.

0:16:400:16:42

The dog, the necklace and the pen.

0:16:420:16:44

130.

0:16:440:16:46

Yeah, I think 120 is absolute tops.

0:16:460:16:49

OK, then.

0:16:490:16:52

So, that's just under half Catherine's budget gone

0:16:520:16:55

in her first shop,

0:16:550:16:56

with the silver necklace and fountain pen at £30 each

0:16:560:17:00

and at £60 for the ceramic poodle ashtray.

0:17:000:17:04

She's certainly determined to win the pooch purchase prize.

0:17:040:17:08

What a busy day's shopping that's been.

0:17:080:17:11

Time to put your feet up and reflect on a job well done. Nighty-night.

0:17:110:17:14

It's another fine day as our lovely couple hit the road again

0:17:170:17:21

and do I detect some love in the air?

0:17:210:17:24

-This is so nice! This is wonderful. It couldn't be more perfect.

-No cares in the world.

0:17:240:17:29

-You and I...

-Together.

-Ohhh!

-Two little...antique lovebirds.

0:17:290:17:35

Awww!

0:17:350:17:37

Sitting in an MG, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

0:17:370:17:42

So far Catherine has visited just one shop

0:17:420:17:45

but managed to spend a mighty £120 on three pieces -

0:17:450:17:49

a ceramic poodle,

0:17:490:17:51

a gold-nibbed fountain pen

0:17:510:17:53

and an amethyst and silver necklace.

0:17:530:17:57

She still has £125.90 to spend.

0:17:570:18:01

Mark has gone one better, buying four items already

0:18:010:18:05

for an even mightier £156.

0:18:050:18:08

He bought three novelty dog-themed liqueur bottles,

0:18:080:18:12

a Bakelite phone,

0:18:120:18:14

a rare Art Deco marquetry panel and a polar bear vase.

0:18:140:18:18

So he still has £115.34 to spend accordingly.

0:18:180:18:23

Continuing their ascent north into Aberdeenshire,

0:18:230:18:27

Mark is dropping Catherine off in the lovely village of Dinnet.

0:18:270:18:31

But Catherine isn't here to sightsee, oh, no,

0:18:320:18:35

she's going to spend in Auld Alliance Antiques,

0:18:350:18:37

and she is wasting no time getting owner Dave

0:18:370:18:41

to show her a nice provincial piece.

0:18:410:18:43

-That's provincial Chinese.

-Oh, that's nice, isn't it?

-It's lovely.

0:18:430:18:47

Oh, I like that.

0:18:470:18:49

It's very simple but very attractive design. Might be 18th century.

0:18:490:18:54

It has got a lovely feel about it. Nice colouring.

0:18:540:18:56

And this is a nice design.

0:18:560:18:59

But there's not really a lot you can say about this, is there?

0:18:590:19:02

It's quite...

0:19:020:19:04

-You could ask the price.

-How much do you want for it, Dave?

0:19:040:19:07

Well, I would say...

0:19:070:19:08

..50 quid and I'm sure it's worth a lot more than that.

0:19:100:19:13

It's the sort of thing that can make a lot of money.

0:19:130:19:15

-It could do in the right sale.

-In the right sale.

0:19:150:19:18

OK, shall we think about that one? Can we put that to one side?

0:19:180:19:21

Not content with what's on offer in the main shop,

0:19:210:19:24

Catherine is going for a root about in Dave's spare rooms.

0:19:240:19:27

Steady!

0:19:270:19:29

I'm really, really scared of spiders, you see.

0:19:310:19:34

-You're scared one will come out and bite you?

-I'm really frightened.

0:19:340:19:38

-Oh, David, look at those cobwebs.

-I know.

0:19:380:19:43

Keep calm, Catherine, and carry on.

0:19:450:19:47

-These advertising tins are very desirable.

-Very.

0:19:470:19:53

Especially the big well known brands.

0:19:530:19:55

And Lipton is right up there with the very well known brands.

0:19:550:19:58

That's wonderful, isn't it? Showing all the tea pickers in Asia.

0:19:580:20:03

That's fabulous.

0:20:030:20:05

Is it on every side as well? Oh, that's lovely.

0:20:050:20:09

That's really nice.

0:20:090:20:12

It's just very...how shall I say...?

0:20:120:20:15

..rusty! SHE LAUGHS

0:20:160:20:18

Yes, this rusty tin would have been filled with tea from Sri Lanka,

0:20:180:20:22

or Ceylon, as it was known at that time.

0:20:220:20:25

How much do you want for that?

0:20:250:20:27

About 50 quid.

0:20:270:20:29

Yeah...

0:20:290:20:30

But because you're a special person you get it for a bit less.

0:20:300:20:33

-Oh, am I?

-Mm!

-You and I are going to get on well, Dave!

0:20:330:20:38

You'd probably get on a bit better if you made him an offer.

0:20:380:20:41

What could you do the two at? 50 and 40?

0:20:410:20:44

80 quid for the two.

0:20:460:20:47

-Don't look at me like that!

-Like what?

-My heart will melt.

0:20:490:20:53

HE LAUGHS Like what?

0:20:530:20:56

Well, 75.

0:20:560:20:58

I'm happy to give you 40 for that bowl, because I think that's fine.

0:21:000:21:05

Um, I'd like to give you a little bit less than 35 for that, though.

0:21:050:21:09

-30, then.

-Yeah.

-That'll be 70 for the two.

0:21:090:21:13

-Is that all right? Are you all right with that?

-Yeah, that's OK.

0:21:140:21:17

You could do really well out of that.

0:21:170:21:20

I think you could do really well out of that.

0:21:200:21:23

And that's your shopping all done and dusted.

0:21:230:21:26

Meanwhile, Mark's made his way five miles north,

0:21:260:21:29

to the village of Tarland, hoping to clean up with a bargain buy

0:21:290:21:33

at Tower Workshop, where George is holding the fort.

0:21:330:21:36

Welcome to Tarland.

0:21:360:21:38

I really like this.

0:21:490:21:50

This is called Mauchline ware,

0:21:510:21:53

which is particularly appropriate for Scotland.

0:21:530:21:56

And it's basically an item of Treen.

0:21:560:21:59

Treen is any item which is small and turned of wood.

0:21:590:22:03

Mauchline ware was made in the Ayrshire town of that name

0:22:030:22:06

for over 100 years,

0:22:060:22:08

ending when the last factory producing these collectable pieces

0:22:080:22:11

burnt down in 1933.

0:22:110:22:14

For me it's appropriate, I suppose,

0:22:140:22:16

because on the front we've got "Castle Street, Aberdeen."

0:22:160:22:20

And on the back we've got...

0:22:200:22:23

"The Queen's Statue, Aberdeen."

0:22:230:22:26

Queen Victoria.

0:22:260:22:28

This is, I think, sort of mid-19th century, 1860-ish.

0:22:280:22:33

But it's £120.

0:22:330:22:35

Time to get George.

0:22:350:22:38

Can you do it for 40? Give me a bit of a fighting chance.

0:22:380:22:42

-You know what...

-I know, I know.

-I'm not known for my discounts.

0:22:420:22:46

-Oh, you are! You're great, George.

-That is a bargain!

0:22:460:22:49

-Do you want me to come back?

-I want you to come back.

-So let's say 40.

0:22:490:22:53

-Well done.

-I hate you.

-You're a star.

-I hate you.

-But I love you.

0:22:530:22:56

Thank you, George. Done! I've bought Aberdeen for £40.

0:22:560:22:59

Well, not the whole of Aberdeen, just Castle Street.

0:22:590:23:02

My, my, it's not even the end of the day

0:23:020:23:05

and both our experts are done with all their shopping.

0:23:050:23:08

And to celebrate, Mark is getting back on the road

0:23:080:23:12

and heading for Inverurie

0:23:120:23:13

to visit one of the area's most magnificent castles.

0:23:130:23:17

Mark has arrived at the spectacular Castle Fraser,

0:23:170:23:21

home to the clan Fraser.

0:23:210:23:24

The Frasers have been strongly associated with the Highlands

0:23:240:23:27

since the 13th century.

0:23:270:23:29

The name Fraser originates from Frezel, the name of a French knight

0:23:290:23:35

who was part of William the Conqueror's invading force.

0:23:350:23:38

-Hello, I'm Mark.

-Hello, I'm Eleanor. Welcome to Castle Fraser.

0:23:380:23:42

-I'm really looking forward to this. Shall we go in?

-Yes, let's.

0:23:420:23:44

Thank you.

0:23:440:23:46

-This is a grand room, Eleanor.

-It is.

-Why are we here?

0:23:500:23:54

We're here to see this painting of Andrew, the first Lord Fraser.

0:23:540:23:58

He is the founder of the Frasers and he built most of what you see

0:23:580:24:02

-in the castle today, so it's his creation.

-It's a great room.

0:24:020:24:05

-I'm rather worried, though, that there is a funny hole in the wall.

-Oh, gosh, yes!

0:24:050:24:10

Clever of you to spot that. Why don't we go and have a look at that?

0:24:100:24:13

As Mark has noticed,

0:24:130:24:15

the striking simplicity of the walls in the great hall

0:24:150:24:19

is interrupted by the Laird's Lug, meaning the Laird's Ear,

0:24:190:24:24

a hole in the wall designed to listen in on any guests

0:24:240:24:27

plotting against the Frasers.

0:24:270:24:29

-Oh, yes, I can see straightaway. That's the hole.

-Yes.

0:24:290:24:34

-Can I have look down there?

-Yes, do. Let's see what we can see.

0:24:340:24:37

Let's have a little look. Oh, yes, you get a really good view

0:24:370:24:41

-of the hole, don't you?

-You certainly do!

0:24:410:24:45

-It's quite low down, though, isn't it?

-It is strangely low down.

0:24:450:24:49

They don't make themselves comfortable.

0:24:490:24:51

And there's a dreadful story associated with that,

0:24:510:24:55

which was that the Frasers had people around from a rival clan,

0:24:550:24:59

possibly the MacDonalds, who were their traditional enemies,

0:24:590:25:02

and they spotted through this hole that they were up to no good

0:25:020:25:06

and they agreed that if Lord Fraser scratched his nose,

0:25:060:25:09

henchmen would burst in and kill everyone.

0:25:090:25:12

And apparently Lord Fraser, during the dinner,

0:25:120:25:14

his nose started to itch and he didn't think and he went...

0:25:140:25:18

-And suddenly...

-They weren't all slaughtered?

-They were. They were.

0:25:180:25:22

Oh, good Lord!

0:25:220:25:25

Well, that's even more brutal

0:25:250:25:26

than my battling on the Antiques Road Trip!

0:25:260:25:29

Well, if you enjoy a good battle,

0:25:290:25:31

we can go and see something quite interesting next.

0:25:310:25:33

I'd love to. Lead on.

0:25:330:25:35

From its founding,

0:25:360:25:38

the clan has been active in every major military conflict

0:25:380:25:41

involving Scotland, and after the union, many British ones too,

0:25:410:25:46

with their military spirit passing down through the generations.

0:25:460:25:50

A later notable Fraser who lived in the castle,

0:25:500:25:53

Charles Mackenzie Fraser, was an officer

0:25:530:25:56

in the Duke of Wellington's army during the Napoleonic Wars.

0:25:560:25:59

Charles has a wonderful story to tell.

0:25:590:26:02

After he joined the army he was sent to Spain

0:26:020:26:04

to attack the castle of Burgos.

0:26:040:26:06

He was ascending the castle on a ladder, leading his men.

0:26:060:26:10

-He was shot twice.

-No!

0:26:100:26:12

The first shot fractured his skull, and you can see here

0:26:120:26:16

the hat that he was wearing and it actually has the bullet hole...

0:26:160:26:20

-Oh, my good lord!

-..right through it, where he was shot.

0:26:200:26:24

-A very near escape.

-Dare I ask what happened to the second bullet?

0:26:240:26:29

-The second bullet went into his leg...

-No!

0:26:290:26:32

..which he tragically had to have amputated a few weeks later.

0:26:320:26:35

And our prized object in the castle is his wooden leg that he wore,

0:26:350:26:39

-which is just here.

-Good heavens above. This is his leg.

0:26:390:26:43

This is his actual wooden leg, yes, which he wore the rest of his life.

0:26:430:26:46

But it didn't slow him down too much

0:26:460:26:48

-because he went on to have 14 children!

-14 children!

0:26:480:26:52

It's a wonderful story.

0:26:520:26:54

Eleanor, thank you so much for showing me around.

0:26:540:26:56

-I've really enjoyed myself.

-A pleasure.

0:26:560:26:58

It's so nice to meet you. I hope you enjoyed it.

0:26:580:27:01

From that story of bravery, we look for a story of hope,

0:27:010:27:03

as our experts reconvene in the castle's gardens

0:27:030:27:08

to reveal their purchases.

0:27:080:27:10

Wow! This must be one of the most spectacular backdrops

0:27:100:27:14

the Road Trip has ever had.

0:27:140:27:16

Such serenity belies its treacherous past.

0:27:160:27:19

Now, keep it friendly, you two!

0:27:190:27:20

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Please don't tell me off.

0:27:200:27:23

-Oh, Catherine, that's amazing.

-SHE SNORTS

0:27:250:27:28

That is absolutely amazing.

0:27:280:27:29

I've got to look at it. Oh, it's fabulous. But you've copied me!

0:27:290:27:34

Oh, Catherine, that is fabulous.

0:27:340:27:37

Oh, I absolutely adore it.

0:27:380:27:41

You've topped mine.

0:27:410:27:42

Literally, with a top hat. But I'm honestly...

0:27:420:27:46

-Have you ever seen one like that?

-I want him. I'm going home. It's mine.

0:27:460:27:51

-I'm not...

-Come back! He's so Brighton, isn't he?

0:27:510:27:55

-You're not putting this in the auction.

-He's so Brighton, isn't he?

0:27:550:27:59

-I'm having it. I'm absolutely having that.

-He's so you.

0:27:590:28:01

That's going to win the pooch purchase.

0:28:010:28:04

Well, I hope they have your sense of humour and your style in Aberdeen.

0:28:040:28:08

-How much did you pay?

-£60.

0:28:080:28:10

-That's quite a lot.

-It probably is.

-But I love it.

0:28:100:28:14

Yes, I can tell!

0:28:140:28:16

-Now, what's this all about?

-Well, I bought a tin...

-I can see that.

0:28:170:28:21

-That's the best side.

-Oh, that's lovely, isn't it?

0:28:220:28:25

-It's quite nice, isn't it?

-Liptons Tea. Great-looking object.

0:28:250:28:28

-Very, very commercial.

-How much is it worth, though?

0:28:280:28:32

-£30, £40?

-I spent 30, so...

0:28:320:28:35

-Yes. Pen?

-Mmm.

0:28:370:28:39

-I quite like that.

-And a provincial bowl.

0:28:390:28:42

-That could be interesting, though, couldn't it?

-No.

0:28:420:28:45

Um, it's Chinese, of a sort, but it's provincial,

0:28:450:28:50

-made in the provinces of China.

-But it could be interesting.

0:28:500:28:52

-Someone...

-It could be.

0:28:520:28:54

If you keep saying it often enough, Catherine, it could be interesting.

0:28:540:28:57

I think actually, it could be interesting.

0:28:570:29:00

-I'm convincing myself.

-It could actually be interesting.

-OK.

0:29:000:29:03

We'll find out soon enough how interesting it could be.

0:29:030:29:07

So, moving on to Mark's bundle of goodies.

0:29:070:29:10

-Ready?

-Show me.

-You won't like any of these.

-I will!

-You won't.

0:29:100:29:14

SHE CHUCKLES

0:29:170:29:18

-This is...

-This is a little story, this is my pooch purchase.

0:29:180:29:21

-But I've got to explain.

-Go on.

0:29:210:29:23

This is me after the auction, last shot.

0:29:230:29:26

-This is me at the bar feeling really sorry for myself.

-Awww!

0:29:260:29:30

-And that's me in the morning.

-Recovering. Oh, that's wonderful.

0:29:300:29:33

-They're so kitsch.

-Really good.

0:29:330:29:35

£6 for the three.

0:29:350:29:37

Oh, for God's sake!

0:29:370:29:39

And for a touch of local interest...

0:29:390:29:41

-Mauchline Ware.

-Castle Street, Aberdeen.

-SCOTTISH ACCENT: Aberdeen!

0:29:410:29:45

And the Queen's statue, Aberdeen. What does that say?

0:29:450:29:49

-Aberdeen?

-I've never seen one of these before, have you?

-Yes.

0:29:490:29:54

-No, if it makes you feel better.

-I love it. I think it's great.

0:29:560:29:59

If somebody wants a funky phone for their bedroom or hall,

0:29:590:30:02

-it's great.

-What is it, Bakelite?

0:30:020:30:05

It is JUST Bakelite. It's not 14 carat gold.

0:30:050:30:08

I don't think they did them in the '30s and '50s.

0:30:080:30:10

It's not set with diamonds, it's not platinum,

0:30:100:30:13

it's not ruby encrusted, it's JUST Bakelite.

0:30:130:30:16

That's all it is, Bakelite!

0:30:160:30:18

So, just to be clear, it's a Bakelite phone.

0:30:180:30:22

-One, two, three, four.

-No, there is another one.

-I knew it.

0:30:220:30:27

-I knew you couldn't disappoint.

-I think you'll hate it, Catherine.

0:30:270:30:30

I paid far too much for it. But I just fell in love with it.

0:30:300:30:33

I love Art Deco.

0:30:330:30:34

And look at all the marquetry panelling around it.

0:30:360:30:39

-That's really, really nice.

-But it was a lot of money.

-How much?

0:30:390:30:43

110.

0:30:430:30:44

But I think, Catherine...

0:30:440:30:47

-I think you've pulled it off with the pooch purchase.

-Do you?

-I do.

0:30:470:30:50

-But not anything else?

-I don't know.

0:30:500:30:53

-I just had fun with them, actually, this time.

-Well, we should have fun.

0:30:530:30:57

We're not here to sell anything, we are here to have fun.

0:30:570:30:59

Yes, and you'll definitely make on those, I think.

0:30:590:31:02

-I'm taking you home.

-Oh, good.

-Before you witter on any more.

0:31:020:31:07

Yes, less wittering, more telling us what you really think.

0:31:070:31:11

I can't believe that reveal. That dog. She's stolen my show.

0:31:110:31:16

I want it, I want it, I want it!

0:31:160:31:18

The big panel that Mark showed me at the end,

0:31:180:31:21

I feel that he may have overpaid for that.

0:31:210:31:25

£110 seems to me a lot of money.

0:31:250:31:28

It's time to get back on the road and head to today's auction.

0:31:280:31:33

On the third leg of their road trip,

0:31:350:31:38

our dandy duo have shopped their way through Tayside, Angus,

0:31:380:31:42

and Aberdeenshire, starting in Dundee

0:31:420:31:44

and ending in Aberdeen for the auction.

0:31:440:31:46

Thanks to its famous sparkling buildings,

0:31:480:31:51

the granite city of Aberdeen has a very distinctive cityscape.

0:31:510:31:54

Known as the oil capital of Europe,

0:31:540:31:57

its auction houses have thrived in this boom town.

0:31:570:32:00

Oh, it's there, look.

0:32:000:32:03

It looks more like a pub than an auction.

0:32:030:32:05

-Maybe we can get a drink!

-We might need it.

-We might need it.

0:32:050:32:10

-After today!

-We might need it after today.

-No, we'll be all right.

0:32:100:32:14

We're fine, we've got each other.

0:32:140:32:16

The auction venue today is not a pub,

0:32:160:32:18

but in fact John Milne Auctioneers,

0:32:180:32:21

which has been specialising in fine arts since 1867.

0:32:210:32:25

So let's find out what today's auctioneer, Alan Fraser,

0:32:250:32:28

thinks of our experts' items.

0:32:280:32:30

It's a mixture of good, not so good and quirky, I would say.

0:32:300:32:36

The marquetry panel, I think

0:32:360:32:38

I have estimated it slightly high at 150 to 200, but I think it's

0:32:380:32:43

a quality thing and hopefully we can get something close to that.

0:32:430:32:48

The Chinese bowl, which has been catalogued as possibly 18th century,

0:32:480:32:51

is much the same as my opinion and we have had interest in it

0:32:510:32:57

and hopefully there'll be interest on the floor as well today.

0:32:570:33:00

Mark Stacey set out on this leg with £271.34

0:33:000:33:05

and splashed out £196 of that on his five lots.

0:33:050:33:09

Catherine Southon began this leg with £240.90 and spent almost

0:33:120:33:16

the same as Mark, parting with £195 on her five lots.

0:33:160:33:21

Quiet, please! The auction is about to begin.

0:33:220:33:26

-Whatever happens, we'll be smiling.

-We will. Don't worry about that.

0:33:260:33:30

-Oh, I won't. I've got you by my side.

-You've got me.

0:33:300:33:34

I wonder if Mark's hopes for a profit on his telephone

0:33:370:33:39

will RING true with the bidders.

0:33:390:33:42

£50.

0:33:420:33:43

40 for this item.

0:33:430:33:46

30.

0:33:460:33:48

20, then.

0:33:480:33:49

No-one interested at 20?

0:33:490:33:51

20 I'm bid. 22. 24. 26.

0:33:510:33:55

28. 30. 32. 34. 36.

0:33:550:34:00

-38.

-Well done!

0:34:000:34:02

42. OK, 42 with the gentleman seated.

0:34:020:34:05

Any more interest after 42?

0:34:050:34:08

Anybody at all after 42? No-one?

0:34:080:34:12

-42 it is.

-Well done. Well done.

-That's OK.

0:34:120:34:17

Looks like you got a bit of a fright there, Mark.

0:34:170:34:19

But you called it right. A great start.

0:34:190:34:22

Mark's up again with his big purchase,

0:34:220:34:25

the Art Deco marquetry panel.

0:34:250:34:27

But has he overpaid and let his heart rule his head?

0:34:270:34:31

-It looks nice at a distance.

-It looks better from a distance.

0:34:310:34:35

It is better from a distance.

0:34:350:34:36

£100 for this item.

0:34:360:34:38

-How much?

-80 for the panel.

0:34:380:34:41

60 for the panel.

0:34:410:34:43

40, then. No-one interested at 40 for this panel?

0:34:440:34:48

-40 I'm bid.

-Holding up now.

-40 for the panel.

0:34:480:34:51

Anybody at all above 40?

0:34:510:34:54

42. 44.

0:34:540:34:56

46. 48. 50. 52. 54.

0:34:560:35:00

-56.

-It's going up.

-56.

0:35:000:35:04

Any interest after 56?

0:35:040:35:07

-Oh, dear.

-No-one at all after 56?

0:35:070:35:09

No-one? 56 it is.

0:35:090:35:11

So I only lost...£54.

0:35:110:35:14

Oh, no. He's not taking that loss very well.

0:35:160:35:20

Would you like me to put my arm around you?

0:35:200:35:22

I couldn't think of anything worse at the moment, Catherine, actually.

0:35:220:35:26

Well, after that crushing comment, Catherine,

0:35:260:35:29

it's time for your first lot - the gold-nibbed fountain pen.

0:35:290:35:34

£80 for this nice fountain pen.

0:35:340:35:38

60.

0:35:380:35:39

40 for the pen.

0:35:390:35:41

20, then.

0:35:420:35:43

20 I'm bid. Any interest after 20 for this pen?

0:35:430:35:47

Anybody? 22.

0:35:470:35:49

24. 26.

0:35:490:35:50

28.

0:35:500:35:52

30. 32.

0:35:520:35:54

32 at the back of the room for the pen.

0:35:540:35:56

Any interest after 32? 32 it is.

0:35:560:36:00

-Oh... I had high hopes for that.

-Did you?

-Yeah.

0:36:000:36:03

Well, that £2 profit will be a loss after auction costs,

0:36:030:36:07

I'm afraid.

0:36:070:36:08

Catherine is up again.

0:36:080:36:11

Will her amethyst and silver necklace get her back on track?

0:36:110:36:14

40 for the necklace.

0:36:140:36:15

Any interest at 40?

0:36:150:36:17

30, then.

0:36:170:36:19

No-one at 30 at all? 30 I'm bid.

0:36:190:36:23

-You got 30, Catherine.

-At 30.

0:36:230:36:25

Anybody else interested?

0:36:250:36:28

35.

0:36:280:36:30

40.

0:36:300:36:32

40 at the back of the room.

0:36:320:36:34

Any interest after 40 for this piece of jewellery?

0:36:340:36:36

-40 it is.

-I think that's what it's worth.

0:36:360:36:39

You've wiped your face with it.

0:36:390:36:41

And a little bit more. A neat £10 profit there, Catherine.

0:36:410:36:45

Now, this should spark some local interest.

0:36:450:36:47

It's Mark's Mauchline pedestal vase, decorated with views of Aberdeen.

0:36:470:36:52

£50 for this item.

0:36:520:36:54

-Ooh!

-40.

0:36:540:36:56

30 for this item.

0:36:560:36:58

20. No-one interested at 20?

0:36:580:37:02

10, then. 10 I'm bid.

0:37:020:37:04

Any interest after 10 for the Mauchline Ware?

0:37:040:37:07

12.

0:37:070:37:09

14. 16.

0:37:090:37:11

-18. 20. 22.

-Yeah, it's going up.

-24.

0:37:110:37:14

26. 26 nearer me.

0:37:140:37:16

I have 26.

0:37:170:37:19

Any interest after 26?

0:37:190:37:21

No-one else?

0:37:210:37:23

26 it is.

0:37:230:37:24

-HE SIGHS.

-It's just not my day, is it?

0:37:240:37:27

Oh, dear, Mark, another loss.

0:37:270:37:30

-Is there anything I can say to ease the pain?

-You could leave.

0:37:300:37:33

SHE LAUGHS

0:37:330:37:35

A chance to redeem yourself now, Mark.

0:37:390:37:41

Up next is your polar bear vase.

0:37:410:37:45

40 for the... 40 I'm bid.

0:37:450:37:48

Any interest after 40

0:37:480:37:50

for the polar bear? Anybody at all after 40?

0:37:500:37:53

Anybody at all?

0:37:530:37:55

No-one? 40 it is.

0:37:550:37:58

It's a little bit up

0:37:580:38:00

but I'm still crashing and burning here, Catherine.

0:38:000:38:03

But who knows? Like the phoenix,

0:38:030:38:05

this small profit may generate a comeback, Mark.

0:38:050:38:09

Aha! Time for tea.

0:38:090:38:11

Will Catherine's advertising box brew up some interest?

0:38:110:38:14

£50 for the advertising box.

0:38:140:38:17

40.

0:38:170:38:19

30 for this box.

0:38:190:38:21

20, then.

0:38:210:38:23

No-one interested? 20 I'm bid.

0:38:230:38:26

Any interest above 20? I have 20 in the centre of the floor.

0:38:260:38:31

Yeah. 22. 24. 26.

0:38:310:38:34

28.

0:38:340:38:35

30.

0:38:350:38:37

32.

0:38:370:38:38

34. 36.

0:38:380:38:40

38. 40.

0:38:400:38:42

42. 44.

0:38:420:38:44

OK, 44...in the middle of the room.

0:38:440:38:47

No-one else? 44 it is.

0:38:470:38:50

Something you'd naturally put in the bin...

0:38:500:38:53

..has made £44.

0:38:540:38:57

Thank you very much, Aberdeen.

0:38:570:38:59

And good night.

0:38:590:39:01

Glad to see you're taking this well, Mark! Not.

0:39:010:39:04

Another steady profit for the lady.

0:39:040:39:06

There is no justice in this business.

0:39:060:39:09

He's bitter.

0:39:090:39:11

-Are you making faces?

-No.

0:39:110:39:14

Up next is the first of the dog challenge lots.

0:39:170:39:21

Can Catherine's pedigree poodle win this leg's challenge?

0:39:210:39:25

We have this vintage Italian ceramic poodle with top hat,

0:39:250:39:29

used as an ashtray.

0:39:290:39:31

-People are laughing. It's making people...

-Yes, I know.

0:39:320:39:36

But that's good, though.

0:39:360:39:38

-Not always.

-£60.

0:39:380:39:40

-40 for this novelty poodle.

-Come on!

0:39:420:39:44

30.

0:39:440:39:46

20 for the novelty poodle. 20 I'm bid.

0:39:460:39:49

Any interest after 20 for the novelty poodle?

0:39:490:39:53

Any interest at all after 20?

0:39:530:39:55

-I can't believe it.

-Any interest after 20?

0:39:550:39:57

No-one? 20 it is.

0:39:570:40:00

Catherine!

0:40:000:40:02

I'm really annoyed because I would have paid £100.

0:40:020:40:06

And with that loss, they are almost neck and neck again.

0:40:060:40:10

So, how will Mark's novelty liqueur bottles fare?

0:40:100:40:15

This is it, my last lot of the sale. Please redeem me a little bit.

0:40:150:40:19

£80 for these liqueur items.

0:40:190:40:23

£80? You're having a laugh.

0:40:230:40:25

50? 40?

0:40:250:40:27

30, then?

0:40:290:40:31

20?

0:40:310:40:33

Don't people put their alcohol in decanters any more?

0:40:330:40:36

10, then.

0:40:360:40:38

Nobody interested at 10?

0:40:380:40:40

10 I'm bid.

0:40:400:40:42

Any interest after 10?

0:40:420:40:44

Anybody at all after 10? No-one at all?

0:40:440:40:46

No-one? 10 it is.

0:40:460:40:48

Time to lick your wounds, Mark.

0:40:480:40:50

You might have won the dog challenge,

0:40:500:40:52

but it's been a "ruff!" auction for you.

0:40:520:40:55

Now, Catherine needs to avoid making a loss here.

0:40:550:40:58

Mark didn't find it interesting,

0:40:580:41:00

but what will bidders make of her Chinese bowl?

0:41:000:41:03

We've had some interest in this.

0:41:030:41:05

I can open the bidding on this item at £60.

0:41:050:41:08

-There we are.

-65.

0:41:080:41:11

70. 75.

0:41:120:41:14

80. 85.

0:41:140:41:16

90. 95.

0:41:160:41:17

-Wow!

-100.

0:41:170:41:19

110. 120. 130. 140.

0:41:190:41:23

-150.

-Are they serious?

0:41:230:41:25

150 with Steve. Any interest after 150?

0:41:250:41:29

Anybody at all?

0:41:290:41:30

-No-one? 150.

-That's amazing.

-£110 profit.

-That's amazing.

0:41:300:41:36

What a finish, eh?

0:41:360:41:38

And with that excellent profit, Catherine takes today's crown.

0:41:380:41:42

Well, Catherine, on that pleasant note, let's go.

0:41:420:41:46

Mark started this leg with £271.34

0:41:460:41:50

and sustained a few bruising losses,

0:41:500:41:54

resulting in a loss of £53.32

0:41:540:41:56

after auction costs, leaving him with £218.02 to take forward.

0:41:560:42:02

Don't look so gloomy.

0:42:020:42:04

Catherine kicked off this leg with £245.90

0:42:040:42:07

and that provincial Chinese bowl helped her make

0:42:070:42:11

a very respectable £44.52 after auction costs.

0:42:110:42:16

Winning her second auction in a row,

0:42:160:42:18

she starts next time with a bumper £290.42.

0:42:180:42:22

Go, girl!

0:42:220:42:24

To the victor the spoils.

0:42:240:42:26

-Oh, thank you!

-Get in.

0:42:260:42:27

Get in!

0:42:290:42:31

Well, Catherine, I can't believe it. I'm back to where I started.

0:42:310:42:35

-Oh, Mark.

-And you're way, way ahead of me.

0:42:350:42:38

-There's no justice in this world, is there?

-There's no justice.
