0:00:02 > 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 > 0:00:14Sold. Going, going, gone.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:1950p!
0:00:19 > 0:00:22There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- Ooh! Ooh!- Ow!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:35 > 0:00:39'TIME IS TIGHT' BY BOOKER T AND THE MG'S PLAYS
0:00:41 > 0:00:43It's the third leg of their road trip
0:00:43 > 0:00:46for our experts Charles Hanson and Philip Serrell.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48As they navigate the streets of South London,
0:00:48 > 0:00:52they seem to have gone all Cockney on us, like.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Phil, we're not far from Peckham.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Mickey P, Del Boy, Rodney, you and me.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- Don't call me Grandad, Charlie. - Got a pony in your pocket.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Grandad. Grandad.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I'm Rodney, you'll be Grandad, OK?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- You are a bit of a plonker. - Yeah, Rodney.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11At least you're not driving a yellow three-wheeler, chaps.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Charles is an auctioneer and valuer with over 14 years' experience.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Looking good, Charles.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Philip's a seasoned auctioneer and antique expert,
0:01:26 > 0:01:30and after falling behind in the last leg the alarm bells are ringing.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31BELL RINGS
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Our experts began their journey with £200 each,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39and two auctions later the gap is widening
0:01:39 > 0:01:41with just over £80 separating the pair.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Charles made a winning start to the road trip,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48triumphing in the first two auctions,
0:01:48 > 0:01:53giving him a very pleasing £335.38 to spend today.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57While Phil, the only person to have beaten Charles Hanson
0:01:57 > 0:01:59on the Road Trip before,
0:01:59 > 0:02:04is trailing this time round, amassing only £254.20 so far.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Slow down. Slow down! Slow down. Just slow down, slow down.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Charles is at the wheel as they bump their way through
0:02:09 > 0:02:14the streets of Greater London in a 1969 Triumph GT6 convertible.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Watch out for those sleeping policemen.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Do you know what, Charlie? I'm feeling carsick at the minute.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Charlie, these sleeping policemen, they have a design.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28It's actually meant to slow you down when you take them.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Don't take them at 50. - Oh, no wakey-wakey.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Let's go, guys, you're road-tripping. Wakey-wakey.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Wakey-wakey indeed.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Our road trip covers a massive 900 miles
0:02:37 > 0:02:39from the north-west of England, at Southport,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41winding down into Wales,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44across to London before finally reaching Cirencester
0:02:44 > 0:02:45in the Cotswolds.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51This leg takes us from the South London district of Bermondsey
0:02:51 > 0:02:55into the heart of the capital before ending up at auction in Greenwich.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Bermondsey lies close to Tower Bridge
0:02:58 > 0:03:00on the South Bank of the River Thames.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02In 1952, the bridge opened
0:03:02 > 0:03:05while a double-decker bus was still crossing.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Driver Albert Gunter made a heroic three-foot leap
0:03:09 > 0:03:10onto the north bascule
0:03:10 > 0:03:13and was later given £10 by the City Corporation
0:03:13 > 0:03:16to honour his act of bravery.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Our brave boys, though, are starting their shopping expedition
0:03:19 > 0:03:22underneath the arches, at Tower Bridge Antiques.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23If they can get out of the car.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26We both know what is an antique, and this is the big time, Phil.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28This is London. Let's do it.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I don't know what he's talking about half of the time.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Someone's been watching The Apprentice again.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Can you tell? Look at the way he walks.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40- After you.- Cheers. Thank you. - My pleasure.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Oh hand to help is dealer Jed.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Good to see you. Jed?- Jed. - Good to see you, Jed.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- Charles Hanson.- Charles.- What a great emporium you have of antiques.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49What's the plan, Phil?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51You keep him talking, I'll go and have a look.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54He's ahead of me, I've got to try and beat him.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58With Phil trailing,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01he seems to be on a mission to find something quickly.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03This is a brand-new Chinese pot.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07What on earth do I want a brand-new Chinese pot for?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09But that old is worth thousands.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10It's decorated with carp.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Which is very emblematical for the Chinese.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17It is brand-new
0:04:17 > 0:04:21but it's decorative and it's sort of 30 or 40 quid.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I think it would make quite a cool table lamp.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28But it just doesn't want to be any more than that.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Sounds like you're not sure if it can turn a profit at auction.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Maybe you should just browse on, then.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Oh, look, there's loads of them.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Double rubble trouble.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Charlie!- Philip. - Charlie!- Philip.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I've got just the thing for you.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Oh, Phil, it's my missing lady.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Charlie bought the three seasons out in the last sale
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- and was missing the fourth season. - Right. Yeah.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00They have a certain weathered look about them.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03They're not very old, they're 20 or so years old.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06They've got a few knocks.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11- By jolly.- What's she made of? Is she a painted metal or is she a stone?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13She's concrete, Charlie, like the other ones were.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Rubble. Absolute rubble.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19But, Phil, they make money. And what's the name of the game, Jed?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Making money.- Exactly. Listen to the man, OK?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Resisting her charms this time round,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Charles has decided there's nothing for him here and is moving on.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Back inside, Phil's been drawn to the vase again.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35It has a ticket price of £50.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Perhaps there's a discount to be had.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- I think I'm going to make between 40 and 60 quid at auction.- Right. OK.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- So I've got to buy them at, like, 30, 35 quid.- Yeah.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- 30 quid.- 30 quid.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Gentleman. Ooh-hoo. You're a gentleman.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Let me just give you some money.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Meanwhile, Charles has headed over the Thames to Bethnal Green,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57hoping to find some bargains north of the river.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Le Grenier specialises in vintage pieces
0:06:00 > 0:06:02which, for an antiques man like our Charles,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04could be out of his comfort zone.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06But he'll need to get with it.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Vintage and retro are booming these days.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14It's vintage, it's retro and it's "Get forward-thinking, hey, Charles?
0:06:14 > 0:06:15"Get with the times, Hanson."
0:06:15 > 0:06:20You know, you've got to start looking at this market, because to me it's amazing. Wow.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Glad to see you're embracing it, Charles.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Sweet Mila is on hand to help with all your vintage needs.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I suppose I've got to delve into the unknown. That's quite sweet.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32What's in there?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36That's quite nice. Isn't that cute?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Isn't that nice? A little cruet set. Oops.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42There we are. That's just quite...
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Wobbly?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- ..colourful, isn't it? - Mm-hm.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49The reason I like this is it's a Melmac or a Bakelite...
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Oops! - ..cruet set, and it's just striking.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56And if we're going to Greenwich, it's just got a real look about it.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58The salt and pepper shakers look original
0:06:58 > 0:07:01but the yellow one should be a mustard pot,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04not another salt cellar, as the ticket points out.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I'm getting quite desperate. I've bought nothing yet, Mila.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12You know, give me a smile, Mila. Smile, Mila, hey?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- What's the best price on that? - Um...£6.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Yeah. I was going to offer £5 for it.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Could that be a sale? - OK.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24First item bagged
0:07:24 > 0:07:28but Charles seems to be struggling to get his head out of the 1900s.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31What we're seeing at the moment on our trip so far
0:07:31 > 0:07:34is either expensive antiques which are too traditional
0:07:34 > 0:07:38or I'm seeing things that really are just very, very vintage,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41and I need to buy.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42A frock?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Ooh.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45That's quite nice, Mila.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50I suspect it's probably, I don't know, I mean, it could be 1980s,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52it could be '60s, but the summer is here.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Oh, crikey, what's he doing, eh?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57That may be far out, Charlie,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00far out from what you should be looking at.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Whatever it is, it has flower power, and Philip will go berserk
0:08:03 > 0:08:06if he sees me buying a frock,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09but, actually, when needs must you've got to dig deep
0:08:09 > 0:08:10for the cause of making a profit.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13What's best price, Mila? Come on, let me see if it suits you.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Does it?
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Um...£8.- £8.- I like this colour.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Do you like... Well, I'm pleased you like the colour, yeah.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Yeah. I'll take £5 for it.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- 5?- £5.- Yes, OK.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Hmm. Meanwhile, Phil's made his way west to Kennington.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Kennington is the location of famous cricket ground the Oval,
0:08:41 > 0:08:45but Phil's heading just along the road to the Cinema Museum.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Devoted to keeping alive the spirit of cinema's halcyon days,
0:08:53 > 0:08:57the museum houses a unique collection of memorabilia
0:08:57 > 0:09:00and equipment from the 1890s to the present day.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- So, I'm Martin.- Martin.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- This brings back memories, doesn't it?- Well, it would do, I think, yes.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Blimey.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11The building was originally the Lambeth Workhouse,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14offering shelter and employment to the poor.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Thousands of Londoners were helped out of destitution here,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20including a certain cinema legend.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25In 1898, with an absent father and his mother confined to an asylum,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28the young Charlie Chaplin was brought to stay.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Charlie Chaplin came here, with his mother and half-brother Sydney.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Hannah was unable to earn a living so she had no choice
0:09:37 > 0:09:39but to go into the workhouse,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42as she knew the boys would be looked after and educated.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Within 20 years, his meteoric rise
0:09:46 > 0:09:48had made him one of the most famous men in the world.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52This was the birth of the golden age of cinema.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54It became a special event
0:09:54 > 0:09:57and theatres were designed to reflect that.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59With smartly dressed staff,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01you could even be greeted by the house manager.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Well, it's a great social experience, the cinema.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09I can remember, I don't know what it would cost to go to a cinema today but 5p to go and see a film.
0:10:09 > 0:10:105p, yeah.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13And this is like a trigger for all sorts of different things,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16because, like, I used to have to go to school on Saturday
0:10:16 > 0:10:18but I know lots of children didn't go to school on Saturdays...
0:10:18 > 0:10:21They used to go to the Saturday morning picture club.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Very popular.- All sorts of different things they'd see.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28With tiny numbers of televisions in homes in the 1950s,
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Saturday morning movies became a staple for kids,
0:10:32 > 0:10:33giving the parents a rest
0:10:33 > 0:10:37as the local cinema screened popular cartoons and Westerns.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39At that time, audiences young and old
0:10:39 > 0:10:43were often shown to their seats by uniformed usherettes.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45The usherettes always seemed to be
0:10:45 > 0:10:47almost dressed like waitresses, didn't they?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Well, they had uniforms.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54They varied according to the cinema circuit and so on,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57and the cinema owners wanted the staff to look smart and presentable.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00So, come with me and I'll show you our uniform exhibition.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Oh, really? Which way are we going? - That way.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07And unforgettably they weren't just responsible for seating arrangements
0:11:07 > 0:11:09but provided a much-loved treat as well.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13And there's the lady I'll hold in my...
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Oh, the Eldorado ice cream. - Yeah. Have you got any of those?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18There's an ice cream tray down there.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20How does that work? Does it literally just fit?
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Can I try it?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- So, that would just fit on there. - Right. Yeah, round there.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Then you'd just have your tray of ice creams. And what was that?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- That's a light.- So you'd have a light in there, would you?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32There'd be a light, yes.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- So, it would be ice creams, chocolate...- Peanuts. Yeah.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I can just remember going to the cinema,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40as, like, an eight- and nine-year-old,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43and the lady would come down, and there was the anticipation.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Particularly if it was a bit of a dull film.- Yes.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48That you're going to get an ice cream at half-time.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- There's no half-time now.- There's no half-time.- There's no trays.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- No.- The world's a sadder place, for that.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Sadder and not so sweet.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Thank you, Martin. - Thank you, Phil.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Listen, this has been really special. I've really enjoyed it.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Cinema may have lost some of its grandeur
0:12:05 > 0:12:09but it still remains a hugely popular pastime in Britain today.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13But how's Charles getting on?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17He's off to hipster central, Brick Lane Market.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Once more famous for curry restaurants,
0:12:21 > 0:12:25it's now become a busy destination for locals and out-of-towners
0:12:25 > 0:12:29in search of retro clothing, vintage furniture and bric-a-brac.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Feeling a little out of place,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Charles is hoping Eddie will keep him right.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39It's great to be on Brick Lane. I can't believe I'm first time here.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- First time? - And the culture, the ambience.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Don't know what you're missing. - I can't believe it.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- It's got a je ne sais quoi element. - It has. And you sell antiques?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Oh, this is definitely up your street. Definitely.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- It is up my street, definitely.- Let me show you some interesting objects.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57These OMK stacking chairs
0:12:57 > 0:13:01were designed in the '70s by Rodney Kinsman.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05In good condition, they could fetch up to £150 each.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07However, these have seen better days.
0:13:08 > 0:13:1325, 50, 75, £100
0:13:13 > 0:13:17and you might be going, going, going...
0:13:17 > 0:13:18How about £120?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I've got to go £100. I can't go...
0:13:20 > 0:13:23It's such a gamble for me because, you know what?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Life is a gamble and these, in their condition, a huge gamble.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28How about if we buy something else as well?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30That could be an option.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Yeah.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34So, you might let these go at £100 if I can find something else?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Yeah, find something else...- OK. - ..and then we can do a...
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Do a deal.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Steady Eddie's no pushover, Charles.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- That's quite nice, Eddie.- Yeah.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- That's got great style, hasn't it? - Yeah.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Handkerchief vases were popular from the late 1950s,
0:13:51 > 0:13:55made from crimped glass and often in vibrant colours.
0:13:58 > 0:14:04Eddie, if I bought those three there, handkerchief vases, would you take...
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Charles. - ..100 for the chairs
0:14:07 > 0:14:12and would you take 30 for the vases?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15It would be £130 cold cash.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17100... Let's say 140.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Are you happy with that? And I have no idea about those chairs.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Charles, you're the man and I want you to win, right?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28So, at the end of the day, if I can give you a bargain, why not?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Yeah. Let's do it, Eddie.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Sold.- That's right.- I'll do it. Thank you very much.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36At £140, he'll either be weeping into his vases
0:14:36 > 0:14:39or sitting on a profit with these items.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44The boys are now back together, ready to get some rest,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46so nighty-night.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Rise and shine, chaps.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Your capital adventure continues, but what's this?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Has Phil been taking fashion lessons from Charles?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Phil, what's made you follow the Hanson lead?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Well, I just think, Charlie, you're a man of style.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12And I've always thought, actually, most of it's not very good.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17But I just feel that that hat, I think it's the way forward.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Hats off to you, chaps.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24You might look like a pair of twits but you're our pair of twits.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25And we love you for it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Charles has gone on a bit of a retro tangent,
0:15:30 > 0:15:31spending £150 of his budget
0:15:31 > 0:15:36on a set of four chairs, a green dress and a cruet set and vases,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39leaving him with £185.38 still to spend.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Philip has only bought one item so far,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48the 18th-century Chinese-style vase for £30,
0:15:48 > 0:15:52leaving him with a lot to do and £224.20.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59The boys are making their way to Crystal Palace,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02where Charles is being dropped off, hoping to find something
0:16:02 > 0:16:05that is actually antique.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Phil, listen, give me some hope and belief.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Get out of here. See you, Charlie. - See you. Bye.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Looks like he's back on familiar ground here.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23And there's a gorgeous box on here.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25It's a porcelain box with a lady and gentleman,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29and if I'm not mistaken this box and cover here,
0:16:29 > 0:16:33you've got a gentleman in a pink frock jacket looking quite colourful,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36a lady in a really rich crinoline dress.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38And I suspect this box...
0:16:40 > 0:16:43..it's being described as 19th-century,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47just possibly it could be 18th-century.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50And, if it is, it could be quite valuable.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54On display at £165, it's time to get dealer Nick involved.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58This little box here.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Right.- Can I look at it?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03OK. Yeah. That...can be 140 on that.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Yeah. Nick, I think it's a wonderful box because it's a marvel of history,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08and I'll take it for 140.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- Fantastic. - That's one purchase done. I love it.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Brilliant. OK.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14That was quick. No haggle, then, Charles?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16He must be confident it will turn a profit.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Nicholas, I bought the box. I would like to buy one more thing.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24This clock on the back here, the only reason I like it is because,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28number one, it's coated in the exotic.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33It's coated in the tropical jazz snakeskin.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I love these ivory discs here.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Really capture the exotic, which is all about the Art Deco.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43And you've got this really wonderfully clear dial that really
0:17:43 > 0:17:46oozes style, what, from the 1930s?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- I think so, yes.- Great clock.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Mmm. Not everyone will be as keen on snakeskin and ivory.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56But it pre-dates 1947, so it's legal to buy and sell.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03Charles only has £45.38 left, so Nick's checking to see
0:18:03 > 0:18:04if a deal can be done.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07OK, I'll have a look upstairs and see what I can find out.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08All right. Thanks.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I've got nothing left.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15That's my entire budget blown if Nicholas will take...
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Going, going...
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Will it be a yes or will it be a flat no?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- I think it's going, going, gone. - Gone, sold. Brilliant. Are you sure?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Yes, it's all good.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27This is becoming a habit, Charles.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30But spending every penny hasn't failed you yet, boy.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Meanwhile, having only spent £30 so far,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Philip's back in Bermondsey.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40He's made his way to a studio
0:18:40 > 0:18:42belonging to a couple with peculiar names.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Hello? Hello?- Hello.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Hi. How are you?- Hi. How are you doing?- I'm Phil.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52That's Dustbin and that's lovely Bones beside him.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Together, they're Dustbin and Bones,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57and their shop is the epitome of vintage and retro.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- This is an artillery case, isn't it? - That's correct, yes.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- It's very hard to find one this size.- What's your price on that?
0:19:05 > 0:19:09That one is... That would probably be about 250 to 300.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I shall put that back quickly.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20And what about this cartwheel? How much is that?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Oh, that one can go for 80.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24There might be a bit of scope to do something with that.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Definitely. Yes, yes.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28That, at auction, I think that's going to make between 50 and 80 quid.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Yeah.- That's where I'm at. So let's put that back.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Now, let's go outside. Is all this your out here?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Yeah. It's a bit of a mess.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40It's all right. I like your easel.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Is that yours or is that a...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45That, actually, I found here many years ago.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47You found here, so it's free stock.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Free stock. Did you hear that? Free stock. He's got free stock.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Nice try, Phil, but they're looking for £20 for this artist's easel.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57OK.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00We can buy something here.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Cos I'd quite like to buy this off you.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- And the easel.- Yeah.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09But I'm going to be mean. I'm going to be mean, I'll tell you that now.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Don't scare them, Philip. You've still got to get them to agree.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Tell you what, I'll give you 50 for the two, that's my best shot.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- I'd be happy with 50.- OK.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20You'll definitely make a profit.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I think you could be right.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25At £40 for the wheel and £10 for the easel,
0:20:25 > 0:20:26that's a great deal, Philip.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30But you've still got shopping to do, mate.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32With no such worries on his mind,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Charles has headed over to the district of Lambeth.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39He's going to learn the full story of the lady with the lamp,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Florence Nightingale.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44A Derbyshire girl, this museum details her life
0:20:44 > 0:20:47from Victorian childhood to the Crimean War and beyond,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50based here in St Thomas' Hospital.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Nice to meet you.- Nice to see you as well.- I'm Charles Hanson.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57- I'm a Derbyshire man. Need I say more?- No, absolutely not.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I know Florence Nightingale is held in very, very high regard
0:21:00 > 0:21:02in Derbyshire, and her family home was there.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05And she always saw herself as a daughter of Derbyshire.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Florence was actually born in the Italian city of Florence,
0:21:10 > 0:21:11hence the name.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14The family moved back to Derbyshire where life was tough
0:21:14 > 0:21:16for most children in Victorian Britain,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19but Florence had a privileged upbringing,
0:21:19 > 0:21:23making her choice of career even more surprising.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26What we need to understand is that Nightingale's life,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28although she was very privileged, was very,
0:21:28 > 0:21:32very narrow and the expectations on her were very clear.
0:21:32 > 0:21:38She would have been expected to marry a nice, respectable older man,
0:21:38 > 0:21:42but she certainly wouldn't have been expected to work for her living.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47Nursing back in the 19th century, it wasn't an upmarket girl thing to do,
0:21:47 > 0:21:51like the police force. I mean, it wasn't for that affluent class,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54so how did she go against the grain?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57She was a very serious, a very studious
0:21:57 > 0:22:00but also a very religious girl and young woman,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02and she felt very, very strongly
0:22:02 > 0:22:06that she'd been called by God to serve her fellow man.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09So, really from this sort of graceful, I suppose,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12youth and her direction through her religion
0:22:12 > 0:22:14and through her desire to be a nurse, of course,
0:22:14 > 0:22:19what I know as being Florence, what made her so important was the Crimea.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Yep.- Wasn't it?- Yes.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I mean, in that it is her work in the Crimean War
0:22:23 > 0:22:29that is the reason why Florence Nightingale is so well known today.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31In the 19th century, Britain and its allies
0:22:31 > 0:22:35were engaged in a conflict with Russia, the Crimean War.
0:22:35 > 0:22:41In 1854, Florence and 38 volunteer nurses were sent to the front line.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44New communication systems meant that British press
0:22:44 > 0:22:46could report daily as events unfolded.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51So, this is one of my favourite objects in the entire museum.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52- This here?- Yeah.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56This is Nightingale's own personal chest
0:22:56 > 0:22:58that she actually took to the Crimean War.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00That's incredible.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05This, for me, has such a strong connection to Florence Nightingale,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08that I think it really does pack a big emotional punch.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Initially, the conditions at the barracks hospital were so bad,
0:23:14 > 0:23:20in that first winter Nightingale and her nurses were just firefighting.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24They were doing what they could in really appalling circumstances.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29When I ever think of Florence Nightingale,
0:23:29 > 0:23:34across Derbyshire we romanticise and think it's the lady with the lamp.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Is the lamp here?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38We do have the lamp itself in the museum, yes, we do.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- The real lamp?- Yes.- Really?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Would you like to see it? - I'd love to.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48So, here we have Nightingale's very own lamp.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- Is that the lamp?- This is her lamp. - I've always thought the lamp...
0:23:51 > 0:23:55You know, you sort of had to rub it and the genie would come out. But it's not, is it?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58No, a lot of people do have that... That's an imaginary vision.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- With a handle, yes. - And, yes, absolutely.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- The brass Aladdin's lamp. - Exactly.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07But, actually, this is a Turkish workingman's lamp,
0:24:07 > 0:24:12and it's much more practical because you can carry it around,
0:24:12 > 0:24:16hook it up and it casts a nice light all around it.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21But, equally, when you're not using it, it concertinas up.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27The idea of 'the lady with the lamp' is, of course, incredibly symbolic
0:24:27 > 0:24:32because she was seen as casting light and creating order,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36but also somehow being quite a sort of angelic person.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39When the war ended, Nightingale, in her 30s,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41suffered recurrent ill health.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44However, she still campaigned constantly
0:24:44 > 0:24:46for the development and improvement of nursing standards
0:24:46 > 0:24:47across the world.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52She believed passionately that the lessons that had been learned
0:24:52 > 0:24:56from the Crimean War, should be applied.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59So she was passionate about public health
0:24:59 > 0:25:01and the health of the army.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04And she believed that the two went hand-in-hand.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Recognised as one of the founders of modern nursing,
0:25:08 > 0:25:12the current nurses' pledge, the 'Florence Pledge',
0:25:12 > 0:25:13was named in her honour.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I'm so grateful, it's been a wonderful visit
0:25:17 > 0:25:21and I won't forget this because she was a Derbyshire girl.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Florence died in 1910,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26but her tireless campaigning and zeal for health reform
0:25:26 > 0:25:29helped pave the way for what would become
0:25:29 > 0:25:30the National Health Service.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33A truly fitting legacy for this incredible woman.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Phil's headed to Greenwich, meantime... Ha!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43..and with only three items bought, he's got his work cut out.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48But in a junk shop, THE Junk Shop and Spreadeagle
0:25:48 > 0:25:53is actually the longest established antique shop in the south of London.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Perfect for our Phil.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13That's...a complete and utter piece of nonsense, isn't it?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Sounds about right for you, then.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Just ask Ian, eh?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- It's a rudder off a little dinghy, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Well, Phil, we are auctioning in Greenwich,
0:26:22 > 0:26:26which has a strong maritime history, so this could be a clever buy.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Now, me and my mate, we've been pretty much rudderless
0:26:28 > 0:26:30for most of this trip.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32How much is that, please?
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Um, that I would have to phone up and I can find out for you.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40A quick phone call to Toby, the owner, gives him his answer.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41OK, Toby. Thank you.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Alright, see you soon. Bye now. Bye.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- So what did Toby have to say, then? - £20.
0:26:49 > 0:26:5120 squid?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54What do I want to buy a rudder off a ship for?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- You might find a ship to go with it. - Oh, yeah.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01So while Phil ponders, owner Toby and his son Otto have arrived...
0:27:02 > 0:27:05..and might have landed him the catch of the day -
0:27:05 > 0:27:07a wicker laundry basket priced at £45.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09I like that.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12It's one of those, like, hotel laundry, I suppose.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I just think it's a cool, funky thing, that.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Rather nice with the rope handles. - I just love it all.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I tell you what, you've been really, really kind to me
0:27:21 > 0:27:24but I am gonna make you an offer, 'cause I have to.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Can I give you 50 quid for that and the rudder?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31I think that's fair, actually. You knocked me down on the rudder. I will go for that.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32- Is that fair? - Yeah.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36So with the basket for £40 and the rudder for a tenner,
0:27:36 > 0:27:42Phil's finally bought all his lots for £130 - half his starting budget.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45This could make for an interesting auction.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49But first, it's time for our experts' grand reveal.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- That's part one, Charlie. - Oh, Phil, that's nice.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53I like...oh, my goodness me, Phil.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55That's almost part two, Charlie.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57- Oh, Phil! - Whoa! Look at this, Charlie.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Wowee! Oh, my goodness me, Phil.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02It's just taking it all in in one go.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- One, two, three, four, five lots. - Yes.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05I love your easel, by the way.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06I think that's really cool.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10This was retrieved... this cost me a tenner.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- It wasn't £10!- Yeah, it was a tenner.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14And it's worth all day long between £50 and £70.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17You'd hope so. And that was a tenner as well, Charlie.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- £10?! - Well, I thought we were rudderless.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- Do you sail? - Only close to the wind.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23- No, I don't at all, Charlie. - HE LAUGHS
0:28:23 > 0:28:25And then I had two 40 quid lots.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28The old laundry basket, country house laundry basket.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31And one wheel on my wagon.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33And the big wagon wheel is gonna roll, Phil.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- What I really want is a three-wheeled wagon.- Ah!
0:28:35 > 0:28:37And then that would be ideal.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Now it's Charles' turn. What's Phil going to make of those chairs?
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Look at these, Phil. Aren't they just so, so stylish?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Look, Phil. Look at the chairs. Aren't they wonderful?
0:28:48 > 0:28:49Look at the chairs, Phil.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52They're a bit rusty, but it doesn't matter.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Uh-oh.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56They're awful.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- What do you mean, they're awful? - They're absolutely awful.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01- You didn't buy those? - I did buy them.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Charlie...how much did you pay for those?
0:29:04 > 0:29:05£100.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- Anyway...- They're wrecked.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12I must admit, Phil, looking at them now in this light,
0:29:12 > 0:29:13they are quite tired.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15What do you mean looking at them in this light?
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Charlie, look at them. They're awful.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20I don't think he likes them.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23That's nice. I like that. How much was that?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25It cost me £140, and to me, Phil...
0:29:25 > 0:29:26- I like that. - Thank you.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29And I like that as well. That's really cool. How much was that?
0:29:29 > 0:29:33I years ago had a pair of snakeskin shoes and feeling this finish...
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- You had a what?! - Pair of snakeskin shoes.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Why?
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Because back in my heyday, Phil, I had a bit of a London look about me.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- Not now, I'm an old man. - Alright, OK. How much was that?
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- Phil, this was £45...38 pence. - That's alright, that's profit.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50It was my last bit of money left over. £45.38.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Don't sneeze, Phil, don't sneeze. You might miss them.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Aren't they great?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- Ah...- Handkerchief vases.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Phil, we're mid-week through our Road Trip, I'm just going a bit wild,
0:30:00 > 0:30:02I'm just taking a bit of time out from the normal...
0:30:02 > 0:30:04- Let me ask a question. - Yeah.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Have you been out in that sun without that hat on?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08No, it's over there, my hat.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09- Really?- Yeah.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Just come with me a minute. - Yeah. That lot's...
0:30:12 > 0:30:15As if we didn't already know, let's find out what they really think.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19What on earth was he doing with those chairs?
0:30:19 > 0:30:23I mean they are just, truly, remarkably, awful.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Phil...I take my hat off to you, it's gone.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28You bought really, really well and...
0:30:30 > 0:30:33..I think all your lots, the wagon wheel as well...
0:30:33 > 0:30:34Yeah, I'm in trouble.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39It's time to get back on the road and head to auction.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Charlie, there's a bus here, Charlie. Over that way.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46No, back over this way now.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Just try and keep it straight. - Sorry, Phil.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51If you just hold this wheelie thing here, like that,
0:30:51 > 0:30:53it tends to go in a straight line.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- It's the pre-match nerves.- Really?
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Big auction, Phil.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Oh, sounds exciting.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02It's been a cracking third leg,
0:31:02 > 0:31:06kicking off in Bermondsey with stops on both banks of the River Thames
0:31:06 > 0:31:08and ending in Greenwich for the big auction.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Phil, this is officially halfway.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- Are your chairs in there? - And I think after halfway...
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- Are they?- ..you'll be leading me.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Go and have a look and see if your chairs are in there.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- Come on.- Now, now, Philip. Remember who's in the lead.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Our boys are at Greenwich Auctions.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Established in 1999,
0:31:33 > 0:31:38and at its helm today is straight-talking Robert Dodd.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42Let's see what he thinks of our experts' choices.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45The artist's easel... it's a nice easel.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47It's a nice one.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49We tried to look for a signature,
0:31:49 > 0:31:51perhaps it has been used by Lowry or Van Gogh,
0:31:51 > 0:31:55but, unfortunately, there's no provenance.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I really like the chairs.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00And we knew as soon as we saw the OMK Design on it and London
0:32:00 > 0:32:01that they were quite important.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Ooh, very interesting.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07But, ultimately, of course, it's up to the bidders.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12Charles Hanson set out on this leg with £335.38
0:32:12 > 0:32:15and spent every last penny on his five lots.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21While Philip Serrell began this leg with £254.20
0:32:21 > 0:32:23and only spent half of that,
0:32:23 > 0:32:26parting with £130 on his five lots.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Listen up, it's time for the auction cry.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Good luck.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37First up is Phil's Chinese 18th-century style vase.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Stunning lot, this.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Stunned?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44And the bid's with me at only £15 on that.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Looking for 18. I've got 15, 18, 20 with me.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Looking for 22.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- It's profit.- No, it's not.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53No, that's lost money.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Are you really, really sure? The lid's worth that.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Are we all done?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- Profit, isn't it?- No, no, no.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01- At £20.- Ouch!
0:33:01 > 0:33:04A commission bid from someone not in the auction wins it.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07But that's a loss to start for poor Phil.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Mind you, we've got your really nice chairs next, haven't we?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12HE GAGS
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Phil detests them, our auctioneer loves them.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18But what will the bidders think of Charles' chairs?
0:33:18 > 0:33:22These are iconic, and as far as we've been able to find out,
0:33:22 > 0:33:26there's also one or two on permanent display
0:33:26 > 0:33:29in the contemporary design section at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Hear that? In the V&A.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35I know what they say, you know, they talk about condition.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37No, the condition's not that good.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40But if you know anybody who sprays cars,
0:33:40 > 0:33:41they'll be able to do these.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- I've had a bit of interest in these. - Oh, come on.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50International bids, Isle of Dogs, Isle of Sheppey.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Is that really being serious?
0:33:53 > 0:33:54I don't know. I think so.
0:33:54 > 0:33:59I've gotta start these straight in with a bid of £45.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- OK.- Looking for 50. 55. 60. 65 with me.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Looking for 70 anywhere.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09- 75 with me.- Keep going. - Looking for 80. This is cheap.
0:34:09 > 0:34:1280. 85 with me. 90. £100 with me.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- I'm looking for 110... - Keep going, keep going.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18110 I need. 120 with me. Looking for 130.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- Charlie, how he's made those I don't know, Charlie.- Keep going.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24At £120.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- Give him a round of applause. - Thank you very much.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31See, Phil? You never can tell.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33So much for being rude about the chairs.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Lesson learned, eh?
0:34:35 > 0:34:40Now, how will the bidders react to your late-19th-century cartwheel?
0:34:40 > 0:34:44The bid's with me on that cartwheel at £10 only. Looking for 12.
0:34:44 > 0:34:4715, 18, 22, I'm out.
0:34:47 > 0:34:5222, 25. 28 I want. 28 there, I've seen ya.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55£30, 32, 35, 38.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59£40 I want. £40 standing. 42. 45 I want.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02No? Why not? You started it, you can't pull out.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05I've got 42, looking for 45. We all done?
0:35:05 > 0:35:0945 new player. See you all. 48. 50.

0:35:12 > 0:35:1658 there, looking for 60. It's only another couple of pound. All done?
0:35:16 > 0:35:2160 there, then. 62 there. 65. 68. £70.
0:35:21 > 0:35:2672, 75, 78. 80 I want. 78 there, then.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28We all done this time?
0:35:28 > 0:35:31At £78 on the cartwheel.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34You do know your wood, Philip.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36That's turned you a nice little profit.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Next up is Charles' green dress.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Will anyone fork out for this frock?
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- You should have worn that, Charlie. - It happened so fast.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Bid's with me at £8. £10 there, then.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49I'm out. Looking for 12.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52I've got £10, I'm looking for 12.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Where you gonna get another one?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- Why would you want another one? - We all done at 10?
0:35:56 > 0:35:59£12 on there... I can't do 50p, love.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04I've got £10, I'm looking for 12. Are we all done this time?
0:36:04 > 0:36:07At £10 only on the frock.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09BANGS GAVEL
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Well, who'd have thought it?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13One very happy buyer and another profit.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20Now, can Philip clean up with his large wicker laundry basket?
0:36:20 > 0:36:22The bid's with me at only £22 on this.
0:36:22 > 0:36:29Looking for 25. I've got 25. 28. 32...35...38. £40 I'm out.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Anywhere.
0:36:31 > 0:36:37£40 there, then. I'm out. 42. 45. 48. 50.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Five I want. 50 there, looking for 55.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43I have £50 in the middle of the room, are we all done?
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Profit.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Last time at £50.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Nice work, Philip. This is starting to go very well.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53It's another of Charles' vintage lots next.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56He's paired his Melmac cruet set
0:36:56 > 0:36:58with the selection of handkerchief vases.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01They are good old English retro vases.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03I think they're worth 8 quid - what did you pay for them?
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- 45. - They'll make 400.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09And it's gotta start with a bid with me straight in at £15.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Oh, 15. Oh, shame. I thought it was 50.
0:37:13 > 0:37:1622 I want. 22. I'm out, looking for 25.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19I've got 22 on this lot. Are we all done?
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Last time. At £22!
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Well, that represents a hefty loss, Charles.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Your retro gamble just isn't paying off.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Now, will there be interest in Phil's maritime lot?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33The boat rudder.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35No-one should be without a boat rudder.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39And the bid's with me at only £10 on those.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Looking for 12, they're worth all of that.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Look great in the garden.
0:37:43 > 0:37:4615 with me. 18. I'm out. Looking for 20.
0:37:46 > 0:37:51I've got £18 on a boat rudder and a tiller. Are we all done?
0:37:51 > 0:37:54£20 there at the back of the room, 22 you need.
0:37:54 > 0:37:5622. Five I want. 25.
0:37:56 > 0:37:5928 I want. 25 down there.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02I'm still looking for £28 anywhere. Are we all done?
0:38:02 > 0:38:06Down the back of the room at £25.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10That's a profit and a healthy lead, Phil. So well done.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Next is Charles' big purchase.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18He said it was a rare 18th-century porcelain box.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21So can his antiques knowledge save him from his retro blunders?
0:38:21 > 0:38:26And it's gotta start with a bid with me of £30 on that.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Looking for 32 anywhere.
0:38:29 > 0:38:3132, 35, 38, £40.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Some interest on the phones for this one.
0:38:33 > 0:38:3955. I'm out. 55 I'm out, I need £60.
0:38:39 > 0:38:4165 on the second phone. £70...
0:38:41 > 0:38:43A lot of interest.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47I'm looking for 75. £80 I want.
0:38:47 > 0:38:4980 I've got, 85 I need.
0:38:49 > 0:38:55£85, Louis. 85...£90. £90 on the first phone. Yes.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58I'd rather have this at 100 quid rather than your chairs, Charlie.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01105. 110 I'll take.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06110. 115 I'll take. 120 I need.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08125 I'll take.
0:39:08 > 0:39:13125 I've got. 130. 135 I need, Luke.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Well done, Charlie. - I've broken even, that's alright.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19I'm happy now, it's broken even. The phones are flying.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21£150 please, Louis.
0:39:21 > 0:39:28150. I've got 145, I'm looking for £150. Are we all done at £145?
0:39:28 > 0:39:32Selling this box at £145.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33Nice piece, Charles.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36But that was a lot of work for a £5 profit.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39And that'll be a loss after auction costs, I'm afraid.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40But it's cracked.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42We've both got one lot left each.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Your artist's easel and my snakeskin mantel clock.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47Exciting, isn't it?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Oh, I'm having a job to hold myself in, Charlie.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Come on, Phil, a bit more enthusiasm, please.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55It's your artist's easel next.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57It may not have been Van Gogh's,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00but you'll swap provenance for a profit, I'm sure.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Straight in at £25 on that.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Well done.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Looking for 28. I've got 25 on it.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09I'm looking for 28.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1330 with me. 32, 35. 38 I need.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14You gotta go for it, mate.
