0:00:02 > 0:00:04It's the nation's favourite antiques experts,
0:00:04 > 0:00:06with £200 each, a classic car...
0:00:06 > 0:00:08We're going "roond"!
0:00:08 > 0:00:11..and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13I want to spend lots of money!
0:00:13 > 0:00:16The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction,
0:00:16 > 0:00:19- but it's no mean feat.- Oh, no!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21- There'll be worthy winners... - We've done it!
0:00:21 > 0:00:23..and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24You're kidding me!
0:00:24 > 0:00:29So, will it be the high road to glory, or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:29 > 0:00:31- What am I doing? - We've got a deal.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33This is the Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Today we're embarking on a new antiques expedition
0:00:39 > 0:00:42with two old Road Trip hands.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45For surveyor and auctioneer James Braxton,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48it's furniture that tickles his fancy,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and apparently a spot of rollerblading.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Now, that I would like to see!
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I hate this bit because I can never get out very elegantly.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Classic cars and sport keep auctioneer Philip Serrell very busy.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Coming from Worcester, it's no surprise
0:01:05 > 0:01:08he has a passion for Royal Worcester.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09It's exciting!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Philip's starting out today in the driving seat
0:01:15 > 0:01:17of the 1955 Austin Healey,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20and, with £200 burning a hole in each of their pockets,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22it's all set to be a cracker of a week.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I think it's a lovely car. I'd like to own this.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30I'd like a slightly more glamorous passenger.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32You've got gravitas.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34You've got polish.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38I bring many things to the party, bar short skirts.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Thank goodness for that!
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Our two experts will navigate around 950 miles,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47taking in both west and east coasts of Scotland,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50down through the Borders to the Lakes,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52into Lancashire, Cheshire,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54and pulling up to a halt in Newport, Shropshire.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59The first stint is a tale of two cities,
0:01:59 > 0:02:04starting in Glasgow and winding up at auction at Leith in Edinburgh.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10The arrival of the 2014 Commonwealth Games
0:02:10 > 0:02:13brought big changes to Glasgow,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16with a massive £1 billion cash injection,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18improving transport, local amenities,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21and adding an extra 1,000 new hotels.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28So, with this whole city's worth of wares at their fingertips,
0:02:28 > 0:02:29what are they going to buy?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Call me old-fashioned, but I'm going to try and buy a bargain.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- What?- Yup, a bargain.- A bargain!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37I don't know a shop that sells those.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40But, as the boys are prone to a touch of cheekiness,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43let's hope neither end up with a Glasgow kiss.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I'll tell you what you're going to buy.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49You'll buy a malting shovel.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51You can't beat a good malting shovel.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54You'll buy a cartwheel,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57anything else that has woodworm in it, I would have thought.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I want to buy a sheep this time.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Moving on, boys...
0:03:02 > 0:03:07The recently gentrified area of Finnieston on the edge of Glasgow's
0:03:07 > 0:03:10trendy West End is home to this lovely shop.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13The man in charge today is Joe McCutcheon.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Good luck, Phil. Well done.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- Hi there, how are you doing? - Hello, James.- Joe.- Nice to meet you.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26This is a great shop. What has come in recently?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Aye. I've got a ukulele.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- A ukulele? - Aye, it just came in yesterday.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- It's not in bad shape, is it? - Aye, it's no' bad.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38All the strings are there as well.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41These are Bakelite, they're not actually ivory, those,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- which probably helps.- Yeah.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46TUNELESS STRUMMING
0:03:46 > 0:03:49No. I never played the guitar at school.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50We'd never have guessed.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Is anybody out there?
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Looking good, James!
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Perhaps they could help you spot a bargain.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Right, what else have we got?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Oh, a barometer. We've got a barometer in. I like that myself.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10It's quite nicely carved, isn't it?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- Aye.- Is that cheap?
0:04:13 > 0:04:1445 quid.
0:04:17 > 0:04:23So, it's an aneroid barometer, and it's by Edwards of Glasgow.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Not bad, is it? It's obviously very accurate.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29What's it doing? It's peeing down with rain out there,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31and it's reading fair.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Aye. Glasgow fair.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I'm surprised it doesn't say...
0:04:35 > 0:04:38rain, hail, rain...
0:04:39 > 0:04:44Early barometers used mercury to measure differences in air pressure,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47but they were replaced later in the Victorian era
0:04:47 > 0:04:50with aneroid monitors, meaning without liquid.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53They were cheaper and lighter, making them more portable,
0:04:53 > 0:04:54but slightly less precise.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58James has already spotted his next potential bit of swag.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01That's rather nice, isn't it? They're nice objects, aren't they?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04People buy them for shop displays.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Pubs are buying them an' all, you know? There's another one there.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11West Mile Street in Glasgow, that one.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12A Royal. And much are they?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Um... That one is 30.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- That's 35, James. - Quite nice with that, isn't it?
0:05:20 > 0:05:21- With the Royal.- Aye.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26It's the sort of trendy furnishing stuff which is quite retro,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29that really fills a button there, retro.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34But the antique in me quite likes the idea of the barometer.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Can you make me a special price on this?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41I know Glasgow is well-known for its generosity.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- I said 45, didn't I?- Yeah.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Call it 50.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47JAMES LAUGHS
0:05:49 > 0:05:51James has his work cut out there.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Whereas Philip has got it all to come
0:05:53 > 0:05:56as he heads to the heart of Glasgow's West End.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59It's a tough call, this. How do you beat Braxton?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Well, I just think
0:06:01 > 0:06:05you've got to go and buy things that are just different.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Things that... Anybody can reckon a Doulton figure,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10so you've really got to go completely off-piste with something.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Rathbone Mews is a gem of an antiques arcade.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Well, usually.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18The first stop is closed.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21But, not one to be put off by a little hurdle like that,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24and true to form, Philip is going off-piste,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26this time to Singh's Car Garage.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- Hi, I'm Philip. You are?- Mr Singh. - I might need help.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Have you got anything that I could perhaps look at, buy?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39You've got to admire his optimism.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43I think the cars might be out of my price range a bit, but... Anything?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Give me two seconds, I'll have a look. You might be in luck here.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47You have a look round.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50You never know, things might turn out all right.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52One definitely never knows with you, Philip.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56James on the other hand, is playing the long game.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58James?
0:06:58 > 0:06:59James?! Wake up!
0:06:59 > 0:07:02He's trying to strike a deal with Joe for the barometer
0:07:02 > 0:07:03and the Royal typewriter.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06That's 35.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08That's 45.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09It's 80.
0:07:11 > 0:07:17- £65 for the two.- £65 for the two? - Yes.- It's tricky.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Give me 60 quid.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21You can have it for that.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- For the two?- For the two.- Yes, OK.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Come on, Joe. Thank you.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28That's really kind.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Joe's even taken off the brackets to make it look nicer to sell on.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34You found a good one there, James.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- Joe, thanks a lot, mate. There you are, there's your money.- Thank you.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43James is £60 lighter with two items in the old bag and, as usual,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Philip's rummaging around a random place,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48looking for whatever he can get his hands on.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51I love the can.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Do you want to sell this? Can I buy this off you?- Yes, you can.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01Mr Singh's father used the paraffin can to light the Salamander heater,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04helping to keep the garage warm back in the 1960s.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06It isn't going to make very much, Mr Singh.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09It's going to make somewhere between £5 and £15 at an auction,
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- so I'm going to buy it for a couple of quid or something.- That's fine.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Is that all right, if I give you £2 pounds for it?- That's fine.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Philip can't resist cleaning it up as best he can,
0:08:20 > 0:08:21but he's not done yet.
0:08:26 > 0:08:32Now, they say that the current in look is vintage industrial.
0:08:32 > 0:08:38And it don't come much more vintage industrial than that, does it?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Do you want to sell these?- Really? - What's the price?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I'll double the money up and give you four quid.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Call it a fiver.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I'll give you a fiver for the two, but that's me finished.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Right, fine, you've got a deal. - You're a gentleman, Mr Singh.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- There we are. - Taking my stepladders, I don't know.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- I tell you what, I've enjoyed meeting you.- There we go.- Seriously good fun.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Thank you very much indeed. I hope I do all right with these.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Big spender Serrell has spent £2 on the can and £3 on the ladder,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10giving him a grand total of £5 on two items so far.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Trust Philip to find booty in the strangest of places.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Well, I think the word is eclectic.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Eclectic.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23What I have learned is that you have to keep your options open,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26so I've bought one or two lots with the stepladder
0:09:26 > 0:09:28and the paraffin container.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Well, he did say he wanted to go off-piste.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37Meanwhile, James braves the weather, to head 49 miles south of Glasgow
0:09:37 > 0:09:42to the stunning Ayrshire coast, where lies Culzean Castle.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Originally belonging to the Kennedy family,
0:09:45 > 0:09:50descendants of Robert the Bruce, it's now in the hands of guide
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Barry McCorkindale, or so he'd like you to think.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Hello. James.- Lovely to meet you. I'm Barry. Welcome to my castle.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Slight fib. Not mine, technically National Trust, but what can I say?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06The castle's had many alterations,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09but it's romantic design dates back to the 18th century,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12when the 10th earl hired an eminent Scottish architect
0:10:12 > 0:10:15to help show off his family's wealth.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- This is really beautiful, Barry. - A fantastic setting, what can I say?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22And I can hear the sea.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25We're sitting right on the coast here
0:10:25 > 0:10:27with a beautiful Robert Adam designed building.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31It's a 58-room bachelor pad for a bit of entertaining.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Even we could be handsome with a castle like this, James,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36don't you think?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37In your dreams, fellas!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42The Kennedy family donated the castle
0:10:42 > 0:10:46and its 600-acre estate to the National Trust in 1945,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49later becoming Scotland's first country Park.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Can I introduce you to a friend of mine up here?- Ah-ha.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- Who's this fine fellow?- Looking very dapper, handsome and fabulous.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I think it's the white hair that does it, to be quite truthful!
0:11:01 > 0:11:04After fighting in Flanders in the mid-18th century,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07the ninth Earl, Thomas Kennedy, inherited Culzean
0:11:07 > 0:11:11and toured the Continent, hunting out treasures to furnish the castle.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15So, Thomas has kind of got everything.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16And you think to yourself,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19am I going to get into the kingdom of heaven?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I've got all these riches, what's the solution?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Have you come across one of these before?- I've never seen one.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27We know Thomas up here, my friend,
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- acquired this in the first of his Grand Tours.- And what is it called?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33It's a plenary indulgence, or a papal pardon.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Or, if you're going round with me,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38we call it your "get into heaven free" card!
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Brilliant.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43From the 12th century onwards,
0:11:43 > 0:11:48plenary indulgences were often given in return for donations.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52This pardon for sin was an assurance of reaping rewards
0:11:52 > 0:11:56for good behaviour in heaven, but not a licence to commit sin.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58If you look at the details in here,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01you'll see it's made out to my friend Thomas up here.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05It says the Laird at Culzean Castle, which he was at that particular time.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06My favourite part is,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09and Thomas and I are definitely on the same wavelength,
0:12:09 > 0:12:13what happens if you get there and you don't know anybody?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Nominated persons 1 to 50. We're sorted.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18We can select 50 friends or relatives.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20This is rather interesting.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23If you fell out with anyone, you'd say, "You're off the list!"
0:12:23 > 0:12:24You're being scratched.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I'm always saying what a great guy you are, James.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31The 12th earl, Archibald Kennedy, added his own flourish,
0:12:31 > 0:12:36gathering one of the world's largest collections of swords and pistols.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Bought from the Tower of London, it now dominates the entrance hall.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43My word. Isn't it amazing?
0:12:43 > 0:12:47The man in charge of the Tower of London assured His Lordship that
0:12:47 > 0:12:51if he went ahead with the purchase he would have the completest
0:12:51 > 0:12:55and most splendid armoury of any individual in the kingdom.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00The first delivery, which was in July 1813, was for 500 pistols,
0:13:00 > 0:13:04shipped up from the Tower of London, 12 chests,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07and a lovely piece which says, "along with a man from the Tower
0:13:07 > 0:13:10"to fit them up in the proper manner".
0:13:10 > 0:13:12It is stunning.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17But it seems the best arrangement involves a little artistic licence.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Don't tell me they chopped off all the swords.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24They did, indeed, to make them fit. But, James, it only cost sixpence.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- Sixpence a sword?- Sixpence a sword, that was exactly it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30A receipt for you, James, look.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- £78.- £78. Isn't that fabulous?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37We have an invoice, which details quite nicely the pistols.
0:13:37 > 0:13:43- 500 of them. Swords, 450. - It is a remarkable collection.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Barry, thank you very much indeed.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I think Culzean is absolutely superb.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Beautiful place.- I'm glad you enjoyed coming.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53And I want to come back on a sunny day and go around the gardens.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56It's nearly always sunny, James, up here in the West Coast of Scotland.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00That's what they always say about Scotland. I don't believe it.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Poor Philip could do with better weather
0:14:06 > 0:14:10as he takes the Austin Healey for a spin up to Prestwick, Scotland's
0:14:10 > 0:14:15oldest baronial borough, which dates back over 1,000 years.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18This coastal town is known for its international airport,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21the only place in the UK Elvis Presley ever visited
0:14:21 > 0:14:25whilst on a refuelling stop during his military service.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29MUSIC: "A Little Less Conversation" by Elvis vs JXL
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Seeing as Phillip's only spent a fiver so far, it's time
0:14:32 > 0:14:36for a little less conversation, and more action at Prestwick's
0:14:36 > 0:14:40collectables emporium, Nae-sae-new, run by Gary Donis.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Gary, good to see you. - Lovely to meet you.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45So where are the hidden gems that
0:14:45 > 0:14:47the normal punters don't get to see, then?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52The first little beauty to catch Philip's beady eye
0:14:52 > 0:14:55is a cider costrel, with a ticket price of £8.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00Usually made from oak, small, robust barrels, or costrels, like this
0:15:00 > 0:15:06were carried by agricultural workers who were sometimes paid in alcohol.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It was the sort of thing that the farm worker
0:15:09 > 0:15:12took out into the country with him...and, erm...
0:15:12 > 0:15:15You know, when he was working it would have cider in it.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18This is probably European, isn't it?
0:15:18 > 0:15:22And this is coopered.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27And, whereas a lot of them are held together with brass or copper straps,
0:15:27 > 0:15:31this has actually just got reeds that hold it together.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Erm...
0:15:36 > 0:15:39And the pity with it is... When I say "the pity", there's
0:15:39 > 0:15:42a broken hinge there and it should have a top on there.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Can I give you that to...- Yes. - ..put by?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48HE WHISPERS: Do you know what? If that's £8
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I could perhaps get that down to £5.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55I could be heading here to have the lowest spend
0:15:55 > 0:15:57on any programme ever.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Come on, Philip, you won't win with that kind of attitude!
0:16:02 > 0:16:05That's interesting, isn't it? It's an old boot scraper.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- I think that's quite fun. You've got 28 on that, haven't you?- Yes.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12And you've got eight on that. Which is 36 quid.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17What might you be able to get down to for those?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21I could probably give you a BOGOF in favour of that, 28 for the pair.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Bog off?! I don't think there's any need for that.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I've just worked that out, buy one, get one free.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Ah. And if Philip knows anything, it's how to drive a hard bargain.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36I was thinking of 15 quid and a fiver.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- 20 quid for the two.- 22.- 22?
0:16:40 > 0:16:45How did we work that out, then? Are we saying £15 and £7?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Or 17 and five.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50See, that's... 15 and five is just so much easier, mentally,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- isn't it? Don't you think? - Oh, go on.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Yeah, OK.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Well done, old chap.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02That's 20 quid. Now, let me have another look around.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Where he's of to now?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I quite like those.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Yes, of course, he's found a ladder.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- What am I doing?- Not sure.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12While I'm here...
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I quite like those chairs as well. How much are those?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- Tenner a pop.- And how much do you really want for two of those?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- How does 15 for a pair sound? - 15 quid?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Yeah, but you're getting a free ladder.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I'm sort of, by accident, creating the industrial look here.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31So I'm going to have one lot that,
0:17:31 > 0:17:35if I buy those in this thing here, I will have two stepladders,
0:17:35 > 0:17:40a pair of industrial chairs and an old, sort of, petrol can thing.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Well, I'm sure it makes sense to Philip.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- The last ladder cost me £3. - Right.- OK.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- And those have got to be a pound apiece, haven't they?- No.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55What about if we meet each other halfway, then? That's a fair deal.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Depends how good your maths are. - Well, I've said a fiver.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01You said 15 quid. I'll give you a tenner for the three.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- That's halfway each, isn't it?- OK. - Honour is retained.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Philip has managed to knock Gary down from £36 to £30 for his
0:18:09 > 0:18:12four items, with a free ladder thrown in to boot.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I'm really pleased with Gary's shop
0:18:14 > 0:18:16because I've bought some interesting things.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I've got a really cool industrial lot for another tenner.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21And I can put those with my other bits and bobs.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I've had quite a good day, really.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24HE SNIFFS
0:18:24 > 0:18:26I can smell a profit in the air.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Yes, could be the paint fumes coming off your ladders.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Even with both sets of ladders, the chairs, oil can,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35cider costrel and boot scraper,
0:18:35 > 0:18:40Philip's seven items still leave him with £165 to spare.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42James has another £140,
0:18:42 > 0:18:46so there's plenty of shopping to be done tomorrow.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49But for now, chaps, sleep tight.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56It's a new dawn and a new day, and I for one am feeling good,
0:18:56 > 0:19:00so I hope you two are. Lovely day for the roof down again, chaps.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Ha!
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I saw one of the locals earlier... This is a nice day.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09There's no such thing as bad weather.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- You can see why, though. - Merely poor clothing.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Ha. And you're certainly dressed for the part, you two.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19The chaps got off to a sensational start on the road yesterday.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22James still has £140 in his pocket, after spending
0:19:22 > 0:19:25£60 on an aneroid barometer and a typewriter.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32Philip scooped up a staggering seven items for just £35,
0:19:32 > 0:19:38leaving him with £165 to splurge if he chooses to.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40BEEPS HORN
0:19:42 > 0:19:45It's all to play for still on the first leg of their journey.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Our charming chaps have made their way from Glasgow
0:19:49 > 0:19:52to the seaside town of Largs.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Its Victorian promenade
0:19:54 > 0:19:56and ice cream parlours now dominate the seafront,
0:19:56 > 0:20:01but back in the 13th century Largs was the scene of a battle,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04repelling a fleet of Viking longboats,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08leading to the end of Viking influence over Scotland.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- James, where are we? - We are in West Scotland, Largs.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- Largs.- This is Scotland's summer seaside resort.- Oh, it's nice, isn't it?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- It's lovely.- It's lovely.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Today it's all about the battle of the boys,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Braxton versus Serrell,
0:20:23 > 0:20:27as they fight it out to find the most profitable purchases.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32- Here we are, James. - See, there is something for you.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34And where better than this antiques treasure trove,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36perfect for our budding buyers?
0:20:36 > 0:20:37I think I'll go to the left.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- I'll go to the right, then. - OK.- See you later.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42With his eyes firmly on the Scottish prize,
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Philip knows exactly what he wants.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47No, not that!
0:20:47 > 0:20:51So, he heads back outside to find shop owner Franco.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Lovely dog, how much are you? I've only got 150 quid.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- I couldn't possibly sell you him. - No?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I think he'd do rather well at auction.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Now, while we are here. - Curling stone.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06With a recent success in the various Games,
0:21:06 > 0:21:10curling is a sport that people have taken to their hearts, isn't it?
0:21:10 > 0:21:14I've got to bid you, like, 40 quid for that, haven't I?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Friendly 50.- 45.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- It's a deal.- Right, that's that done.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Blimey, Philip's off to a flying start.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Meanwhile, James is working his magic
0:21:24 > 0:21:26on shop assistant David McMillan.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31That's quite detailed.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Wee clipper in the background. Lighthouse.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37You can say it's naive but it's fairly well done.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40It's a lovely package. It's got everything.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Irritatingly, it's deteriorated, which is a shame.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46It's still an attractive item.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51All this sort of stuff has taken a right old trouncing, hasn't it?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53While James is playing hard to get,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Philip looks like he's found his next lot.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59It's a...probably Victorian.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Late. It's a Nailsea walking stick.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06And you've got this sort of spiral down there.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- I think that's a really cool thing. How much is it?- £30
0:22:09 > 0:22:11It is damaged.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Perfect for you, then, Phil.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Nailsea glass became popular in the late 18th century,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19specialising in glass containing pulled, or combed,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21white splashes or lines.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- I quite like that. Did you say £15?- No, I did not.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- What did you say, my hearing's awful? - I said £30.- Did you say £20?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- 25, you can have it.- OK. I like that.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36But Franco knows his audience,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39so he's unearthed another stick from the back of the shop.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41It's an Indian thing.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Silver-top stick, so it wouldn't be hallmarked in any way, would it?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46And it's a slightly lower-grade silver.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48It's probably, what, 600 parts?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51But what's interesting about it, it's got these lovely little
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- figures around here. And how much is that?- £30.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00We'll put the two of them together, Phil. We'll do two of them, 50 quid.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01That's...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Would 40 quid buy the two? I'm trying hard here.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I'll offer you 45 again. You're a 45 man.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10So I've bought these two for £45
0:23:10 > 0:23:12and I've bought a curling stone for £45.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15I've got to now part with £90, haven't I?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18And, along with yesterday's purchases,
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Philip's racked up ten items.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22But how's James getting on?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25James, so are you buying
0:23:25 > 0:23:28a painting of a boat on the coast,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- and taking it 60 miles inland? - Correct.- Right.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33That'll work well, won't it?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36So says the man who's bought two ladders.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41And I don't think he realises Leith is the port of Edinburgh.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Maybe because he's only got one thing on his mind.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49One last buy. I've got to buy them, haven't I? Don't you think?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Uh-huh. Fortunately, they're not for sale.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55On the other side of the shop, James is persisting with the painting.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Damp is a devil with plaster.- Yeah.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02Damp has deteriorated that, but luckily it's to the side.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07I have a feeling you like it, all the same, despite its problems.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- And are you open to offers? - Yes, of course.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15So what's your thoughts on it, then?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Well, 70 quid, really.- 70.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22See, I said 150 and I was willing to come down to 120.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23How does 90 sound?
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- I would be very happy to meet you in the middle at 80.- It's a deal.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Thank you very much indeed. There's your money.- My pleasure.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33It's dog eat dog on this trip
0:24:33 > 0:24:37and now James is all spent up, the doubts are creeping in.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42Philip's bought two really good buys. In fact, I'm slightly worried.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43I am worried.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48Slightly irritated that I bought that stupid typewriter yesterday.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Live and learn, live and learn.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55With Philip's shopping all done, he's heading to Brodick,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59on the Isle of Arran, just off the West Coast of Scotland.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- Right, Phil, here you are. - Have you got my rubber ring?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Just a 55-minute crossing from Adrossan
0:25:09 > 0:25:13is the island affectionately labelled "Scotland in miniature".
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Not to be confused with the Irish Aran Islands
0:25:17 > 0:25:19and home of Aran jumpers.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22This Arran has over 4,500 residents
0:25:22 > 0:25:25and even its own edition of Monopoly.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29I'm just going to do my Celine Dion bit.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33MUSIC: "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Wonderful, Philip. Hollywood surely beckons.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42A couple of miles north of the harbour
0:25:42 > 0:25:44sits Brodick Castle, Garden and Country Park.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47The castle was the ancient seat of the Dukes of Hamilton
0:25:47 > 0:25:51and features on the reverse of the Royal Bank of Scotland's £20 note.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55It's seen many battles, but the estate was mainly
0:25:55 > 0:25:59used for hunting. Later it became the residence of the 10th Duke.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01It's now owned by the National Trust,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04and Philip's here to meet curator Lindsay McGill.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Hi, Lindsay.- Hello, nice to meet you. - I'm Philip, how are you?
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Good, thank you.- This is an impressive place, isn't it?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I'm pleased you are impressed. It's a hunting lodge.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18In the Victorian period, it was used as a hunting lodge for the Dukes of Hamilton.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21And I think you can see the pastimes of this grand family
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- on the surrounding walls. - Absolutely.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- This cost money, didn't it? - It certainly did.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28And it was the 10th Duke's father-in-law,
0:26:28 > 0:26:33William Beckford, had died as a cash injection into the family.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37And so his newly married son, the future 11th Duke, was given
0:26:37 > 0:26:40some money in order to be able to transform Brodick Castle
0:26:40 > 0:26:42into what you see today.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46William Beckford was one of the wealthiest men in Europe.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48His fortune was built from sugar plantations,
0:26:48 > 0:26:51but what he really craved was status.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55One of his main fixations was proving he came from royal blood.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59After confirming a link to the Hamilton family, who descended
0:26:59 > 0:27:02from the royal household of Stuart, he took on their family crest.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05He commissioned several items displaying it, even
0:27:05 > 0:27:07a painting on his deathbed,
0:27:07 > 0:27:11surrounded by objects showing his lineage to the Hamiltons,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14and the porcelain producer of choice was Philip's favourite.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Now, I think that might have a bit of an association with me.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- Who do you think this is from? - That's Worcester.- Yes.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29And you can tell it's Worcester by that sort of orangey colour.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34From the late 18th century, Worcester Porcelain was owned
0:27:34 > 0:27:37and run by the Flight and Barr families.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41For many years the pottery carried variations of the two names,
0:27:41 > 0:27:46until Royal Worcester was formed in 1862.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Oooh, it's exciting.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53There you are, BFP, underneath the crown. Barr, Flight, Barr.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Determined to affirm his illustrious pedigree,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Beckford commanded a personalised dinner service,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01especially for his daughter's wedding.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06You have this scarlet colour which represents the Hamilton household.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09When you combine the red with the gold, it's
0:28:09 > 0:28:11also representing the Royal Household of Stuart.
0:28:11 > 0:28:17Beckford heraldic emblems are the gold martlets that you see here.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- Martlets, which is a...- It's a bird. It's a type of bird.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25And also the Latimer-cross. So the whole surface is really
0:28:25 > 0:28:27screaming out, "I'm important.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30"And this is the wedding day of my daughter as well."
0:28:30 > 0:28:34If you want to show somebody, "Look at me, I have got some wealth,"
0:28:34 > 0:28:36you actually have the bottom of your saucer
0:28:36 > 0:28:38that no-one's really going to see,
0:28:38 > 0:28:42hand-painted with your family crest and motto.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- That's quite impressive, isn't it?- Very.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47And Beckford's great-grandson,
0:28:47 > 0:28:49the 12th Duke of Hamilton, seems to have inherited
0:28:49 > 0:28:52his great-grandfather's love of collecting,
0:28:52 > 0:28:56in particular animal-related objects, like these claret jugs.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Those are just fantastic, aren't they?
0:28:59 > 0:29:02They were made by a Scottish silversmith
0:29:02 > 0:29:04called Alexander Crichton.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- When were these, 1880?- 1881, 1882.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09If you look at that period,
0:29:09 > 0:29:13the Victorians produced all sorts of novelty silver bits, didn't they?
0:29:15 > 0:29:18This is the only dodo actually known.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23He's really interesting, because Crichton is using Sir John Tenniel,
0:29:23 > 0:29:26who designed and drew the dodo in Alice In Wonderland,
0:29:26 > 0:29:30he's using him and his dodo as inspiration for this piece here.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33I mean, that is the ultimate statement of wealth.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37At your dinner party, it would be a wonderful thing to bring out.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Do you know what? I've had a fabulous visit.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41It's really been first class.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Meanwhile, back on the mainland,
0:29:48 > 0:29:54James is heading north-east to the small Ayrshire town of Kilbirnie.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Back in the '50s and '60s, the town was famed for its concert hall,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00where people flocked to see big bands of the time.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04The 1955 Austin Healey would have fitted right in
0:30:04 > 0:30:08and today it's helping James feel all rock'n'roll.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Really nice to be in such a lovely car, it really is fabulous.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16We're in the rain, but this is such fun to drive. You don't feel it.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Your legs are beneath the warm engine, it's lovely.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23James is off to an old haunt to try and out-do Philip.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25I'll try and buy antiques.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29He can remain buying the woodwormed offerings that he is so drawn to.
0:30:31 > 0:30:36Greta Logan, owner of The Stirrup Cup, knows James all too well.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40- Hello again. Greta!- Hi, James.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43So, she's already dug out a little something to catch his eye.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Why have you got this fellow out, then?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49I took that out in case you wanted to look at it.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54It just amazes me that something from 1820 is almost in perfect condition.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58- I know. - It's hallmarked 1820 on the collar,
0:30:58 > 0:31:00so it's got a silver collar.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Originally designed to scoop Stilton
0:31:03 > 0:31:06out of the middle of a full or half wheel,
0:31:06 > 0:31:11this Stilton scoop has a mechanical slider to help push off the cheese.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14It's perfect for embracing the 19th century saying,
0:31:14 > 0:31:17"Drink a pot of ale, eat a scoop of Stilton every day,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19"and you'll make old bones."
0:31:19 > 0:31:22I think that's supposed to be a good thing, don't you?
0:31:22 > 0:31:26That's amazing because it looks as if it just came out of the packet.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28It does, doesn't it? It is superb.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Although there's a possibility the handle could be ivory,
0:31:33 > 0:31:38as it was made before the 1947 CITES Agreement it's legal to sell.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42James has already spotted another goody.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45You've got a profile.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49It looks quite shiny, doesn't it? Is it old?
0:31:49 > 0:31:51I think it's old.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54I tell you what it could be,
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- it could be a profile made from scrapped ship's timbers.- Mm.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02It's rather nice, that. I like profiles.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06So that's just newly in, so I don't think it will hang about too long.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- Really?- And bang, James is putty in her hands.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13As soon as you mention fresh goods,
0:32:13 > 0:32:18the hairs on the back of my neck start tingling!
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- How much have you got on this? - It's just 30.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22Greta, I'll take it.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26- Thank you very much, James. - I'll take that definitely.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29That's £170 of his £200 budget gone.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32But still, £30 left to play with.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Is that pushing, could that be £30?
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Yes, James. Yes.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- That is absolutely fabulous.- Super. - I've got two fabulous items.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44I've got the profile and that lovely fellow.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45Thank you very much.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49James is now completely spent up after bagging himself five lots.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54Alongside his Stilton scoop and carved ship's model,
0:32:54 > 0:32:55he has an aneroid barometer,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58a typewriter and a marine scene painting.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Philip is hoping to threaten James's bid for victory
0:33:03 > 0:33:07by entering five lots too, costing a scant £125.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11He's offering up a curling stone, a pair of walking sticks,
0:33:11 > 0:33:13a boot scraper, a cider costrel,
0:33:13 > 0:33:14and his industrial collection,
0:33:14 > 0:33:18comprising two stepladders, two chairs and a paraffin can.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23So, how do they rate each other's booty?
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Really, a typewriter?
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Honestly? A barometer?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29A watercolour?
0:33:29 > 0:33:32A Stilton scoop? Yawn.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35But, Mr Braxton, I really do think you've surpassed yourself
0:33:35 > 0:33:39with your half ship's hull. That's going to do really well. I hate you.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44Am I worried about Philip and his barrels, his stepladders,
0:33:44 > 0:33:46his jerry cans?
0:33:46 > 0:33:50No. Slightly more worried about his Malacca cane.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52But it's too late for worrying now.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56After starting in Glasgow, 200 miles later the chaps have ended up
0:33:56 > 0:33:59just an hour down the road at auction.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Sadly, there's no sunshine on Leith today.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06This is suddenly Edinburgh and it's raining.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10- Every gentleman should be prepared. - Every gentleman prepared? Yup.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13You're absolutely right, James. Every gentleman is prepared.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Blimey O'Reilly, Philip. That's a bit racy!
0:34:16 > 0:34:18All you need is a rod.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21A rod and a rock,
0:34:21 > 0:34:23you'd make a very passable gnome.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26I'm not sure Noddy and Big Ears
0:34:26 > 0:34:29will fit in in the chi-chi port of Edinburgh.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Resting on the shores of the Firth of Forth, Leith is a bustling hub.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37But, after having a pop at James for buying a marine picture to sell
0:34:37 > 0:34:42in a city, Philip is now realising there's method behind his madness.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- So you've got a bit of a marine topic going on.- I have.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- You've got that lovely ship's hull...- Yeah.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49And you got a painting.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Actually, you've been quite smart, haven't you?
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Because Leith is a port. We're in Leith, and you've bought...
0:34:56 > 0:34:59You ratbag! Why didn't you tell me that?
0:34:59 > 0:35:01What better way to get ahead?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Whilst the boys fight it out, Ewan Armstrong
0:35:04 > 0:35:09from Ramsay Cornish Auctioneers tells us who he thinks has the edge.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12At the moment in Scotland, silver is doing very well,
0:35:12 > 0:35:15and the Stilton scoop they've put in is a good item.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18The ladders collection is not to everyone's taste,
0:35:18 > 0:35:21but I do like it - I think it will do quite well.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26So, James could get a good price for his £30 Stilton scoop,
0:35:26 > 0:35:30but it sounds like Philip's industrial bits might also do OK.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Who'd have thought it, eh?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Now, the auction room is hotting up as the sale is about to start.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Are you going to scoop the prize or scoop the poop?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40I hope I'm going to be scooping Stilton.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44First up, it's auctioneer Ewan's pick,
0:35:44 > 0:35:45James's silver Stilton scoop.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48A little bit of interest in this one as well.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I can start the bidding on that one at £40.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- £40.- £40 on the phone.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54£45 here.
0:35:54 > 0:35:5550?
0:35:55 > 0:35:5855? 60.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Breaking new ground. - Show-off.- 65.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- 75...- Keep going.- 85?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Hey!
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Any advance on £85? If not, it is going.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Gone for £85.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16A fantastic start, snagging almost triple his money.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- It's OK.- It's all right, isn't it? - That's OK.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Ratbag.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23It's better than a slap in the face, isn't it?
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Which I think I might get any minute.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Next up, it's Philip's curling stone.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32I can see myself as an Olympic curler.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38- A short Olympic curler.- We've got a little bit of interest in it.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40- We'll start at £30.- £30.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Do I see £35 anywhere?
0:36:42 > 0:36:44It's a nice piece. £35.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46£40. 45.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Hey, Phil...- £50. Do I hear £55?
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Go on, madam. Go on, madam.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53There we go. £55. £60.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56£65? It's your last chance.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58It's a good one.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03A £15 profit, but less than he'd wanted.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04Jolly good.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- Oh, shut up, James.- Philip has got high hopes for his canes.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11They've got to make 30 quid, haven't they?
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Yes, £65 I think you'll make.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- Or they could bomb. - Oh, great, thanks.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Why is that funny?
0:37:19 > 0:37:20A nice little lot. Come on.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Someone must have a friend that looks like Willy Wonka.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25£20?
0:37:25 > 0:37:28I want to get a good lot on it. No?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30I have £20 here. 25 anywhere?
0:37:30 > 0:37:3325, 30,
0:37:33 > 0:37:3635, 40,
0:37:36 > 0:37:37£45?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39All out at £45.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Meaning a loss after costs.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Sorry about that, Philip, I really am.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- You look it.- No, I am sorry.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Oh, shut up.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Poor James.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Well, maybe not in a minute, as his carved ship's hull model is up.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57I've got a bit of interest in this on commission.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59I'm going to start this off at £50.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Do I hear £55 anywhere?
0:38:01 > 0:38:0355, we've got. I've got £60 here.
0:38:03 > 0:38:0665, 70 here.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08£75.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Any advance on £75 in the room?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Come on, it's a nice little lot.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14No. ..Sold.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18You're actually just taking nice little profits here, you ratbag.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21James is another £45 up, motoring ahead.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24So, will Philip regret buying his next random lot,
0:38:24 > 0:38:26or can he scrape a tidy profit?
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- Boot scraper, boot scraper, boot scraper.- Yes, come on, you need it.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Don't I ever.- I have £10 on the phone. Do we have £12 anywhere?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- £10 on the phone bid?- 14...
0:38:39 > 0:38:41£16? I'll take £15.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43We're got £15 up here. £16.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- 17...- You're in profit.
0:38:45 > 0:38:4718...
0:38:47 > 0:38:50£20 we have. 22, 24...
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- Steady work, I always like to say. Steady.- 28.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Are we all out at £28?
0:38:57 > 0:38:59That's a relatively good profit,
0:38:59 > 0:39:02but he's got a fair way to go to catch up.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Time for Philip's cider costrel.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09£12 to get started. You're quite quiet. It's a nice little lot.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- It is, you're in profit, James. - It hasn't got bid yet!
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Don't make me come down too low. Eight we have.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16Do I hear nine anywhere?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18£9. 10?
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- Racing ahead. - £10. Come on, we want £12.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25- I think James is enjoying this. - Come on, £12 we have. 14?
0:39:25 > 0:39:2714, 16, 18.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Are we all done?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33A 200% profit in the bank for that one.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35It's like sort of treading water, isn't it?
0:39:35 > 0:39:38James, why don't you just shut up?
0:39:38 > 0:39:42James is laughing now, but let's see how his typewriter fares.
0:39:42 > 0:39:47Do I hear £20 in the room? I'm going to the phones. Do we have £20?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50He's got a phone bid. I don't believe it!
0:39:50 > 0:39:51£20 we have on the phone.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- I do not believe it.- Phone bids? - 22, 24?
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- Well done, madam, keep going.- £26.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02- Are we all done at £26? I will take 27...- Take £28!
0:40:02 > 0:40:0527, we have, 28...
0:40:05 > 0:40:06A fine upstanding gentleman.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Are we all done at £28?
0:40:09 > 0:40:13£28. That could have been so much worse.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18True. James is down £2. Next, it's his big gamble,
0:40:18 > 0:40:20after spending £80 on the marine painting.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23If he makes a loss here, it could put Philip ahead.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27We'll start that one off for you.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31- I've got a bit of interest here. £60.- Oh, no, I'm doomed.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- It should be £65.- 65 we have.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36£70 with myself here.
0:40:36 > 0:40:3975, 80 here... £85?
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- All done?- I'm going to go now, James.- It's not over yet, Philip.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47£85 in the room.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48No further bids?
0:40:49 > 0:40:54Just a fiver a profit, putting him at a loss after auction costs.
0:40:54 > 0:40:59- £275 worth of goods.- That's bragging, James. That's bragging.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02It's not a nice trait, it's bragging.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04And he's still got one lot left.
0:41:04 > 0:41:09I can start off with interest here at £30. Do I hear £35 anywhere?
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- Oh, no.- £35 for the barometer? £35 we have. 40?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14£40 anywhere?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16If not, it is going.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21- Sold.- Adding another fiver to his profit tally.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Last but not least, though,
0:41:23 > 0:41:26it's time to see if Philip's risky lot pays off.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- They always keep the best till last in these sales, don't they?- Yeah.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31We've got the collection of ladders.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33There's probably more paint on them
0:41:33 > 0:41:37than there is on most of the collection of art in the sale.
0:41:37 > 0:41:42We start that off for you at £20. £20 we have.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44You get the petrol can too.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45£20. 22 anywhere?
0:41:45 > 0:41:48You've got a bidder.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Go on. £22?
0:41:50 > 0:41:52I'll take £21...
0:41:54 > 0:41:58- Sold.- It may not be much, but Philip still made a profit.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Philip began with £200.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08After a mixed day, after auction costs, he scraped a profit
0:42:08 > 0:42:14of £13.58, leaving him with £213.58 to splash next time.
0:42:16 > 0:42:21James has taken an early lead on the first leg. He started with £200.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25After paying auction costs, he made a profit of £52.56,
0:42:25 > 0:42:30so he now has £252.56 to spend next time.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34With just under £39 between them, this could be a close match.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Well... I don't know how that happened.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41How did you get the profit, that's what I'm trying to work out.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45I don't know. Clearly, my goods just snuck under the radar,
0:42:45 > 0:42:48but I expected to be about £80 behind you,
0:42:48 > 0:42:50and I think I'm only 40 quid behind you.
0:42:50 > 0:42:55- That's a result.- You're no stranger to this game, are you?
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Anyway, who's driving? Who's buying lunch? You on both, I think.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00To the victor, the bill.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Next time, our Road Trip regulars
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- may have bitten off more than they can chew.- You must be joking!
0:43:11 > 0:43:13James tries to beat Philip at his own game.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16I don't think you can beat a rural bygone like this.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19- And Philip's plan may go down the toilet.- Oh, I love that!
