0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's the nation's favourite antiques experts.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07With £200 each, a classic car...
0:00:07 > 0:00:08We're going round.
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 > 0:00:17The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction but it's no mean feat.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Oh, no!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21They'll be worthy winners...
0:00:21 > 0:00:22We've done it!
0:00:22 > 0:00:24..and valiant losers.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25You are kidding me on!
0:00:25 > 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?- You've got a deal!
0:00:31 > 0:00:34This is the Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Yeah.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39It's the second leg of the road trip through Scotland for
0:00:39 > 0:00:43kilt-wearing Charlie Ross and fellow treasure hunter Christina Trevanion.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Have you washed this?
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- What, the kilt?- Yeah.- No!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Don't need to wash the kilt, I mean, I do but not every day.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54- Have you changed your pants? - I have changed my pants!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Charlie ran his own auction house for over 25 years.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01This gamekeeper turned poacher likes to sniff out
0:01:01 > 0:01:04bargains that will make a stinking profit!
0:01:04 > 0:01:05I love it!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07THEY GASP See!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10His competitive companion, Christina, has youth,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12brains and charm on her side.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- Are you a den of iniquity, Cedric?- I am not.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- SHE LAUGHS - Oh, bad luck!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20They're behind the wheel of a 1977 Volkswagen campervan named
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Geoffrey II.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I wonder what happened to Geoffrey I.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Died.- Oh...
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- The trippers are clocking up the miles.- Is this a private drive?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Yeah....private drive!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33# Private drive... #
0:01:33 > 0:01:35HORN BEEPS
0:01:35 > 0:01:36# Private drive! #
0:01:36 > 0:01:38I'm not sure we're allowed up here.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Christina made a loss at the first auction.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Did I make any money? - No, you lost a little bit. THEY LAUGH
0:01:45 > 0:01:48And Road Trip veteran Charlie showed her how it was done.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51You are doubling your money on everything!
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Christina started the trip with £200 but she's now only left
0:01:56 > 0:02:00with £176.30, poor lamb.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Charlie started with the same amount but he's made a tidy profit
0:02:04 > 0:02:08and has £296.36 in his pocket.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10That's why he's looking so chuffed!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12You buy stuff you don't particularly like
0:02:12 > 0:02:14and you still make shed loads of money.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I buy stuff that I really like and it absolutely bombs!
0:02:20 > 0:02:25Charlie and Christina started their 500 mile drive in Inverness.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Their journey will see them travel all the way south to Boston,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31in Lincolnshire.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Today, the duo will head towards their next auction,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38in the beautiful border town of Galashiels.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43First stop, the seaside town of Aberdour, home to charming pubs,
0:02:43 > 0:02:47shops and reputedly one of the finest beaches in Scotland.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51You will come up with a lot of real goodies!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- See you soon. - THEY KISS
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Happy shopping.- Two kisses, two kisses!
0:02:56 > 0:02:57- Oh, sorry. - THEY KISS
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Happy shopping!- Spend that money...and make a profit...
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- ..for a change!- You said it.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Hopefully, shop owner Jennifer will have something to catch
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Christina's eye.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Hello, nice to meet you.- I'm Jennifer.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14This is lovely, isn't it?!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Is that a little Staffordshire rabbit? What's he over there?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19He looks rather sweet, doesn't he?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21To make a big profit from a little rabbit like that,
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Christina will need to knock a few pounds off the ticket price of £38.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27What can you do me on that?
0:03:27 > 0:03:2930.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34£30, come on, Jennifer, I need to make some money...20,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36for a Staffordshire rabbit?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Can we say 25?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40- 25.- 25, brilliant!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43There's one down, I like him a lot. I think he's great fun.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45One deal done.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Any more?- Have you got some Scottish pottery over here?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53The blue jug and that are Bell's, I am 100% certain that's Bell's.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Bell's pottery was founded by two Glaswegian brothers
0:03:55 > 0:03:58in the early 19th century
0:03:58 > 0:04:01but their business went from boom to bust in less than 100 years.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Bell's made their money trading to Southeast Asia but struggled
0:04:05 > 0:04:09to compete against the dominant potteries in England and Holland.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13And when the Scottish market became flooded with cheap imports,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Bell's sadly went into liquidation.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19This would have been part of a much larger tea service originally,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- wouldn't it? So, you would have had...- With a jug, cups and saucers.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Your teapot.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28With some nice Scottish scenes on, we've got a few loch scenes there.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30What do we have on that?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33We have 12.50.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36It says, "Sale, £5"!
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Ooops!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- That's come off something else, I think.- Oh, has it?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Yes, it doesn't matter.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44What's my price on this?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45- 10.- I'd push for five!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Something to think about.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Meanwhile, Charlie's at it again.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52# I like Scotland
0:04:52 > 0:04:55# Bonnie, bonnie Scotland
0:04:55 > 0:04:59# Scotland is where I'll spend my life! #
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Oh, lordy, Charlie's on his way to Inverkeithing in Fife.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07In the 1880s, it became a temporary home for some of the thousands
0:05:07 > 0:05:10of workers building the Forth Bridge just down the road.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16I'm rather hopeful that in Inverkeithing will be a shop
0:05:16 > 0:05:19bursting with quality goods.
0:05:20 > 0:05:26All waiting for my £296!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Charlie's first stop is the Bargain Centre.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35"No dumping"...promising!
0:05:41 > 0:05:44HE BELLOWS
0:05:44 > 0:05:47A simple hello would have sufficed!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Anyone in?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Hello! I'm Charlie. - Hi, Charlie, I'm Gail.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Gail, what have you got to sell me?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- I've come here to spend all my money, I've got loads of cash.- Good, good.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I hate a braggart!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Have you got something you could recommend, you'd go straight to
0:06:02 > 0:06:06and go, "Charlie, this is for you!" Ooh, hang on!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- You don't need to answer that question.- Right.- I've seen something.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Is that a shell case?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14He's spotted a sturdy brass mounted case that once would have
0:06:14 > 0:06:16held ammunition.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Look at the quality of leather! I think that is a...yes...
0:06:20 > 0:06:22or a cartridge case, I think.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26That is absolutely wonderful quality.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28You put your cartridges in there
0:06:28 > 0:06:31and then they're held in place by the leather thong.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- The strap.- Yeah, the strap.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36If they're the original straps that's a real bonus as they're
0:06:36 > 0:06:38often missing or rotted.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Cogswell & Harrison.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Good name, even a name I've heard of.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Cogswell & Harrison are London's oldest surviving gun makers,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51known for their extraordinary range of sporting guns.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54The company actually dates back to 1770.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57What's interesting is it's got MacLean Cameron Highlanders,
0:06:57 > 0:07:02so the fact that it's got the regiment on there leads me to believe
0:07:02 > 0:07:06it's not one for shooting game or whatever, it's actually an army one.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Wouldn't you like that to tell you a story!- I know.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- It does.- Goodness me, where has that been?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16The cartridge case has a ticket price of £50.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I love it, I absolutely love it!
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Well, we'd never have guessed that, old bean.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Huh, I wonder if Christina's made a decision on that cup
0:07:24 > 0:07:25and saucer she loved?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Is there anything else I've missed?- Seems not.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- That's nice.- That is nice.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Oh, a nice lead crystal one as well.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36There's some nice bubbly-bubblies in there.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Oh, a nice ground out Pontil mark - that is nice!
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Lead used to be mixed with glass to add some sparkle.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47These days, safer zinc is used instead.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- How much is on that one?- 45, I think.
0:07:51 > 0:07:57- Could you do any more on that? - You could twist my arm to 37.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Twist...I'll twist away.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Jennifer's proving no pushover.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Come on, Jennifer!- No, no, 35 is bottom on that Rummer.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11OK, right and what do we think about the cup and saucer?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- 10.- Could we do 40 for the two?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- No.- Oh, Jennifer!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Oh, Christina!- You're a hard woman!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22OK, let's go glass and rabbit.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Glass and rabbit, glass and rabbit.- You like those as well!
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Yes, let's go glass and rabbit,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30sorted...but I do like that cup and saucer.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Are you sure you can't budge on that? Are you absolutely sure?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Very special price for you, eight.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46- Eight pounds...- And we're not haggling any more on it!
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Eight pounds, £35, £25.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53That's a total of £68.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Can we do 65 for the lot?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Go on, Jennifer!- Yes.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Yes, there we go, 65!- Jennifer, you said, "No more haggling"!
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Well done, that's three lots bought in the first shop
0:09:03 > 0:09:06and a total of £30 off the ticket prices.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Back in Inverkeithing, Charlie still has an eye on the leather
0:09:09 > 0:09:13cartridge case but is still yet to strike a deal.
0:09:13 > 0:09:19- Is he drawn to anything else? - An old dead box...quality!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22New Bond Street!
0:09:22 > 0:09:24I think that's a solicitors dead box.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29I wish the deeds were still in there, we might end up owning a nice house,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31you and I.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Now, that would be a profit.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37And that was Mr LBB Gubbins.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39My mother used to call all rubbish "gubbins".
0:09:39 > 0:09:41"Put it in the gubbins", do you have that name up here?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Yeah, has been heard. - Unfortunate name, I think,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47if I was called Gubbins, I'd change my name by Deed Poll I think.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49You wouldn't want to be called Mr Rubbish would you.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53I like that but I'd like that...that would have to be very cheap.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54There's no ticket price.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Gail's open to offers. Look out.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Is that an old adding machine? - Yes, a comptometer, yeah.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02A comptometer.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06The comptometer was the first commercially successful,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08key-driven mechanical calculator.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Where did you find that?- That we've had for a while.- Have you?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Yes.- Oh, you're fed up with it!
0:10:14 > 0:10:16THEY LAUGH
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Oh, I like that. What date's that, 1920? It's pretty old, isn't it?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- Yeah. It does have...- Oh, it's got a date on it?- ..detail on it.
0:10:24 > 0:10:261909 there.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Oh, yes, the patent, 1904, 1912, 1913.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33So, it's a good thing for a collector.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Very difficult thing to value.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Well, you won't need a calculator to get that for a better price,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Gail's asking £50.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44I have to say that's really interesting.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48I'm passionate about that!
0:10:48 > 0:10:50If that was dirt cheap I'd buy it,
0:10:50 > 0:10:54simply cos it would make a few quid at auction and it's a nice tail.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58And what would you consider "dirt cheap", Charlie?
0:10:58 > 0:11:04I'm thinking more in terms of wanting to spend sort of £50 on the three.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06£50 for the lot, cheeky!
0:11:06 > 0:11:08What if we said 60?
0:11:08 > 0:11:13It's incredibly tight...erm, I'll tell you what,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15split the difference, £55.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Deal?- Yes, deal.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Put there.- No problem.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- I'll dip into my sporran and see what I've got.- Just you do that.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Oh, yeah, Charlie's charm has bagged him some brilliant buys,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28three items for just £55.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31That's even better than half price, gosh!
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Back on the road and the short journey to a local landmark.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39When it was completed in 1890,
0:11:39 > 0:11:43the Forth Bridge was regarded as the eighth wonder of the world.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45And Christina's in for a treat,
0:11:45 > 0:11:49she's going to take in the stunning view from the very top!
0:11:49 > 0:11:51There you go, darling!
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- Thank you.- I'm going to drop you off there.- OK.- Have a cracking time.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Don't fall off!- I will certainly try not to.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01See you soon, have a lovely afternoon.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04The bridge is a milestone in civil engineering.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06After 124 years,
0:12:06 > 0:12:10the Forth rail bridge is still the longest cantilever
0:12:10 > 0:12:13railway bridge ever to be constructed in the world,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15a real testament to the men who built it.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22Crossing the one and a half mile wide estuary was a huge challenge.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27Engineer Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker took on the ambitious
0:12:27 > 0:12:31task of designing Britain's first major steel construction.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34When built, it transformed the Scottish economy by providing
0:12:34 > 0:12:38a continuous rail route from London to Aberdeen.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Here to give Christina the inside track - ha! -
0:12:41 > 0:12:45on its history is Ian Hay.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Oh, it's quite speedy, isn't it?
0:12:47 > 0:12:51As principle construction manager, he's in charge of the bridge.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54So, I think this is the pinnacle of Victorian engineering.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57It's pretty solid, well, hopefully it's pretty solid.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58It's extremely solid.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02This is the only bridge of any span that does not shut
0:13:02 > 0:13:03because of the weather.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06And up to 200 trains use the bridge every day. Wow!
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Is that another train?- Yes, it is.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- And it's right there, isn't it?- Absolutely!
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Six feet above your head.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Fowler and Baker's design is only half the story.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26It took a multi-national team seven years to build.
0:13:26 > 0:13:32These men became known as Briggers, a colloquialism for bridge-workers.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36With few safety measures in place and paid in part in beer,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39these men and boys risked life and limb,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42working at dangerous heights over the icy water.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44We're going quite high.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Oh, yes.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- So, the top is how high?- 367 feet.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Christina's about to make history.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Fewer than 1,000 people have stood on the top
0:13:58 > 0:14:02since it was built over 100 years ago, you lucky girl!
0:14:02 > 0:14:05My legs are going to go a bit wobbly!
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- That's OK.- Don't let me go!
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Look at this, it's amazing!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Isn't it? It's a wonderful view!
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Construction of this Scottish icon came at a cost.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Tragically, around 70 men died building the bridge.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30One of the most dangerous jobs was underwater.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Divers had to build and then inspect the foundations,
0:14:34 > 0:14:35using primitive kit.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Back in the 1880s, men dived with heavy, lead boots,
0:14:40 > 0:14:44huge brass helmets and a pipe.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47At the peak, there were over 5,000 people working on the bridge.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50All trades, all sorts of trades, everything from joiners,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53carpenters, steelmen, riveters, rivet catchers...
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Rivet catchers?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Rivet catchers.- What did they have to do?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00They caught rivets.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04There are around 6.5 million rivets holding the bridge together.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Now, that is a riveting fact!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- The thing that holds the bridge together are the rivets.- Yeah.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13So a rivet is heated in a furnace, flung up to a rivet-catcher,
0:15:13 > 0:15:17quite commonly a young lad of maybe 12, 13, 14 years of age.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19He'd catch it in a bucket
0:15:19 > 0:15:22and then the riveters would collect it from the bucket with tongs,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24place it through a hole
0:15:24 > 0:15:27and drive the rivet home to make it a full connection.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- God!- That's all...
0:15:31 > 0:15:36So they had to stand on these flimsy bits of metal
0:15:36 > 0:15:40300-and-something feet in the air, catching things with buckets?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Fundamentally, yes, that's exactly what they did.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45The remarkable red bridge has become part of our vernacular.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49People still say never-ending tasks will take as long as painting
0:15:49 > 0:15:52the Forth rail bridge.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Does it really take an age to get from one end to the other
0:15:55 > 0:15:57and then you have to start again?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59There was a time that was the case,
0:15:59 > 0:16:03when we painted on top of paint on top of paint.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06But most recently the work done on the bridge has pretty well
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- dispelled that totally.- No! - I'm afraid so.- Really, it's done?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- It's done. It's painted from end to end, top to bottom.- Ohh!
0:16:14 > 0:16:18And it won't need another lick of paint for 25 years.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20While Christina is taking in the view,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Charlie is leaving North Queensferry, in Fife,
0:16:23 > 0:16:24and heading to South Queensferry,
0:16:24 > 0:16:29just nine miles north of Edinburgh, via the Forth Road Bridge.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34Glorious! Great view from here to there.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Hello, Christina!
0:16:35 > 0:16:37South Queensferry is at the foot of the bridge.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40There used to be a ferry service here,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44but that shut in 1964, the year the road bridge opened.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Charlie is meeting Jenny, who has packed her shop to the rafters
0:16:47 > 0:16:52with all sorts of maritime antique flotsam and jetsam.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54There's a nautical flavour here, isn't there?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- Are you from a seafaring family? - No, I just like the sea.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00But I like to be this side of it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02THEY LAUGH
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- You don't like to be on it? - No. Not particularly.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- This is a good...- This is as close as you like to get.- Yes.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Time to have a look round.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I'm going to ruin that. Oh, no, it's got a catch on it!
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Oh, my goodness gracious! Is that a...?- A puffer fish.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Is it a real puffer fish? - It's a real puffer fish.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- It's absolutely terrifying!- Hm.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Is it as sharp as it looks?- Yeah.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Its eyesight isn't so sharp, that's for sure.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- What do you want for that?- £45.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I don't think that's a lot of money.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40It's not a lot of money for a genuine puffer fish.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45A genuine puffer fish! Is the market swamped with fake ones?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- May we take it down? - You certainly can, yes.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- I wouldn't want you to puncture yourself.- No, no.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- He seems to be not altogether complete.- He is missing an eye.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56He's winking at you, Charlie.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58He's wonderful!
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Has he got a name?- Peter.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Nice to meet you, Pete!
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- And they puff up when they...? - They puff up in anger.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09And then I think they spike you.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I'm going to really struggle to find something
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I like more than Peter in the shop.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16He's fantastic.
0:18:16 > 0:18:22- What could he be done for?- 45, so I could come down to 30 for Peter.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I want him! SHE LAUGHS
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Thank you! Mmmwah!- Pleasure.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Hello, Peter, you're mine!
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Even if you have got one eye.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- I'm going to get into my sporran and pull out some cash.- Oh, my word!
0:18:35 > 0:18:38You never know what you might find in my sporran!
0:18:38 > 0:18:39COINS DROP Oh!
0:18:39 > 0:18:42All my money has flown out everywhere!
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Oh, yeah? And that's the last purchase of the day
0:18:45 > 0:18:47and Charlie is rather puffed up with himself.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52Ah! Christina! Is that you?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Hello!
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I don't think she can hear me.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I bought a puffer fish!
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I do hope she gets off that bridge before nightfall.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Night-night, you two.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I don't think she can hear me.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11You're right.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14It's Day Two of the Road Trip.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Yesterday, young Christina spent £65 on three items.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Where is the profit? Where is the profit?
0:19:22 > 0:19:28A cup and saucer, a lead crystal glass and a Staffordshire rabbit.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Leaving her £111.30 today.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Old smiler, Charlie boy, spent £85 on the cartridge case,
0:19:35 > 0:19:40comptometer, deed box and Peter the one-eyed puffer fish.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45Despite the spending spree, he still has £211.36 in his sporran.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50The pair are heading to the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- How many things have you bought? Give me a clue.- I have bought...
0:19:55 > 0:19:58What did I buy? I bought three things.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Did you manage to buy them well below the ticket price?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- That's the key, isn't it? - I hate haggling.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I'm awful at it, which is why I never make any money.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- Were you dealing with a man or a woman?- Two ladies.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- Ah.- Yeah. They were wonderful.- You really need to have a man, don't you?
0:20:13 > 0:20:18- You can wrap round your finger. - Well...- "Hello...!
0:20:18 > 0:20:22"The name is Christina." Flutter, flutter.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26The master is revealing his secrets to his protege, eh?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29First stop of the day, Leith, regarded as Edinburgh's port
0:20:29 > 0:20:32and home to a shop that should be a winner for Charlie.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Right, here we are.- Here we are.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- This is where I'm going to buy the best antiques in the world.- Oh, OK.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41God, there are some nice things here.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Last year, it won an award for Antiques Shop Of The Year.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49Everywhere you look there are just wonderful things.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Trouble is, wonderful things tend to cost.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59How can I go into a shop like this with £200? It's almost an insult.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Just zoom in on that.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05You think, is that 100? Is that 1,000?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07No, it's 10,000!
0:21:09 > 0:21:12A few more profits needed, I think.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16I'd love all these at home. 2,000, 3,000...
0:21:16 > 0:21:181,690.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21That's not the date of it, that's the price of it.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Charlie is sure going to have to delve deep to find
0:21:23 > 0:21:26the bargains here.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Good Lord! Is that real antler?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33I wonder whether that is real antler or faux antler.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Sounds like he's found something. It's a rather unique artefact.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I've never seen anything quite like it before.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41And...
0:21:41 > 0:21:45You quite often see antlers made into chandeliers or hat stands,
0:21:45 > 0:21:46coat stands...
0:21:46 > 0:21:48And this?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Glasses in there? It's not for candles, certainly.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52But it's really rather splendid.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56But what is it?! Hopefully, owner John has an idea.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- Tell me something - real antler? - Oh, definitely.- Yeah.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03We've had a look at it and...
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- If you put candles in it, they are going to fall out.- Yeah, exactly.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08The aperture has a wee opening at the side.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I assume it's to put the glass in. And lift the handle,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13so it's probably for bringing out for a function.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15It's certainly a bit different.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16It's a fair price as well.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Is it?- Yeah.- Well, you would say that, wouldn't you?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21I mean, let's face it.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23£75.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Is there a bit of flexibility for an old Englishman who's pretending
0:22:27 > 0:22:28to be a Scotsman for the day?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I'll knock a fiver off.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Will you?- 70 quid.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Very generous man. £60?
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- Oh, go on! Give us a chance! - OK, £65.- Sold!- OK.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44I think that's fantastic. And I think there's a profit in there.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- He said.- Best of luck.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49You've changed your tune now you've sold it to me.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Maybe £65 was a bit DEAR!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Charlie did rather well at the auction, though.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57The pressure is on for his younger rival to make some DOUGH.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01My plan today... What is my plan? My plan...
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Do I have a plan?
0:23:04 > 0:23:08I haven't really spent much of my budget, so the plan is, spend it.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Go out in a blaze of glory.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15She's getting the hang of this game.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Atchoo!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- Bless you.- Thank you.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Christina has motored her way through Edinburgh,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25and not far from the famous castle is her next shop.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Owner, Cedric, has two passions in life, antiques and tea,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31and he sells both.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Hence, he called his shop AnTEAques.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39We have about 85 different types of teas,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41but I believe you like antiques.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- I do!- And I have plenty for you in the back.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Weren't teahouses a bit of a den of iniquity in the 19th century?
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- Well, it was... The thing is... - Are you a den of iniquity, Cedric?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I am not. THEY LAUGH
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Pardonnez-moi, is our English rose flirting with the Frenchman?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58It looks like she's taken Charlie's advice.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Have we got anything in these cabinets over here?
0:24:01 > 0:24:06- Nice little bits of silver.- I like your golfer...stopper.- Oh, yes.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08He's quite cool, isn't he?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- He looks a bit modern. - Yes, it is.- Birmingham.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17Oh, 2000, there's a Millennium hallmark on there, the year 2000.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Silver bottle-stopper.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21It comes with a decanter.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Oh, does it? It comes with a decanter?- That's right.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Decanter included or not, the silver isn't what I'd call antique.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Could be a risky buy unless she can get it for the right price.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33£90.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Hm...
0:24:36 > 0:24:40I would want to be buying that, really, for £40 or £50,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42in order to make any money at all.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- Hm.- What are your thoughts?
0:24:44 > 0:24:51- Why don't we go half and make it 45? - 45? Would that be all right?
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- Well, for you.- Aw, Cedric! That's a deal. Thank you very much.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57The charm has worked - half price.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I hope he gets me a hole-in-one.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01And not a hole in your profits, eh?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- What's that called? Is that a birdie?- I couldn't tell you.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06An eagle? A swan?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Hang on, what is Cedric up to?
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Has he had an idea?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Oh, that's brilliant! Can I have that with it?
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Yeah. THEY LAUGH
0:25:16 > 0:25:18You're a genius! I love it.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21There we go, golfing interest, I can't lose.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24It's a winner! THEY LAUGH
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Brilliant. Cedric, you're a gentleman. Thank you.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- Come on, let's have a cup of tea. - Yeah.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Shopping done! Time for refreshments.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36- Your scones, madam.- Oh, wow! They look amazing.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40- Thank you.- Pleasure.- Wow-ee!
0:25:46 > 0:25:49With his shopping done, Charlie is keen to check out
0:25:49 > 0:25:51one of Scotland's top attractions
0:25:51 > 0:25:54and learn about its remarkable history.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56In the early 20th century, most people hadn't been abroad.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58There were no TVs,
0:25:58 > 0:26:03so to see wild and exotic beasts from faraway lands was jaw-dropping.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Victorian zoos displayed animals locked in cages,
0:26:06 > 0:26:10but Edinburgh Zoo's founder, Thomas Gillespie, had a radical idea.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12To find out more,
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Charlie is meeting the zoo's head of living collections, Darren McGarry.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21When it was opened, how did this zoo differ from other zoos?
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Well, Thomas Gillespie had a vision that he wanted to have a zoo
0:26:25 > 0:26:28that was much more open, so no animals behind bars.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33When it opens in 1913, Gillespie's zoo was revolutionary.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Visitors could get up close and personal to the animals.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39What sort of things were people able to do at the zoo that perhaps
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- they can't do now?- People used to go and maybe get to feed animals.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46There were chimps' tea parties, where they would watch chimps
0:26:46 > 0:26:49drinking cups of tea and eating food off plates.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Or they might ride on an elephant.- Really?
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Elephant rides, camel rides -
0:26:53 > 0:26:56these are all things we don't find acceptable nowadays.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Edinburgh Zoo has remained a top attraction for 101 years.
0:27:00 > 0:27:06Now firmly focused on conservation and home to more than 1,200 animals.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10It was one of the first zoos in the world to house and breed penguins.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14So Charlie has put on his own penguin suit to join them.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- Quack! - I don't think they quack.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19More like a dog. That's obviously not a penguin noise, is it, really?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Do you want to shake flippers?
0:27:21 > 0:27:26Oooh! May I say, that was extremely badly behaved of you?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29A little manners, please.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33The zoo's history with penguins and Norway goes back to 1913,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36when the family of Norwegian shipping merchant,
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Christian Salvesen,
0:27:37 > 0:27:41presented the zoo with its first-ever king penguin.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45One very special king penguin even has his own bronze statue,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47donated by the people of Norway.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Nils Olav - that's his name -
0:27:50 > 0:27:54is the mascot and Colonel in Chief of the Norwegian King's Guard.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57He was selected because king penguins are very graceful,
0:27:57 > 0:28:01very tall, very attractive, and so when the Norwegian King's Guard
0:28:01 > 0:28:03come here to the zoo to visit him,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06he'll come out and inspect the troops to make sure that they
0:28:06 > 0:28:09are wearing the correct uniform and they are all behaving themselves.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11And he obviously has his medals, as well,
0:28:11 > 0:28:15so the soldiers can see that he is a very important penguin.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20And in 2008, after 36 years of continuous service,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Nils was given a knighthood
0:28:22 > 0:28:25by the King of Norway and became Sir Nils Olav.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- So, here he is!- Yeah, this is Sir Nils Olav over here.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Sir Nils isn't looking his best, but he is mid-moult.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39May I say, sir, it is a huge privilege to meet you?
0:28:40 > 0:28:44I can see you're not quite as excited about meeting me
0:28:44 > 0:28:46as I am about meeting you.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49But the crowds don't just come here to see Sir Nils.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52There is a very special penguin tradition at Edinburgh Zoo,
0:28:52 > 0:28:54one that started some 60 years ago.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57We are quite lucky, because the keepers are here now because
0:28:57 > 0:29:01we're just about to see if they want to come out on their penguin parade.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06- Parade?- We do a penguin parade every day at 2.15.- How did that start?
0:29:06 > 0:29:11Well, in the 1950s, there was a zookeeper who left the gate open
0:29:11 > 0:29:13and several penguins followed him out
0:29:13 > 0:29:15and started walking around the zoo.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Today, Charlie is joining the parade.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21They are wonderful, are they? They go at a fair lick, you know.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22They are fantastic.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26I mean, if I walk like a penguin, it's a heck of a job to keep up.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32Gosh, look at all the crowds! I feel very privileged.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35I get the impression they could do a marathon, I think.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38While Charlie makes himself at home with the penguins, Christina
0:29:38 > 0:29:41is hoping to p-p-pick up a final bargain.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45She's paying the lovely Lewis of Courtyard Antiques a visit.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48He's been trading from the same street for over 26 years.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52His warehouse is packed with antiques and collectables.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53From what I can see,
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- we've got quite a lot of boys' toys going on here.- I'm afraid so.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Oh, I'm feeling HOARSE!
0:29:59 > 0:30:01When did Neddy arrive?
0:30:01 > 0:30:02A couple of years ago.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05I had all this First World War militaria,
0:30:05 > 0:30:07so we needed a horse to put it all on.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11- You need a warrior up there, don't you?- Are you volunteering?
0:30:11 > 0:30:12SHE LAUGHS
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- I could do, why not? - I'll give you a bunk-up.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18I could be like Helen of Troy.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Arriving on a horse. Or maybe Lady Godiva.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Lady Godiva - steady on, no clothes!
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Right, Lewis, we've got a job to do.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27That's rather smart, isn't it?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Christina has spotted a rather interesting box.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33It has a typical Chinese temple landscape on the lid.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37It is inlaid with colourful mother of pearl, which has been engraved.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42I'd say it's 1930s. Maybe slightly earlier, 1920s.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Got a little bit missing on there.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50So it would have had another band around there.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Ah, clever pointing out the damage to the dealer.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Trying to get a few more pounds knocked off, are you?
0:30:56 > 0:30:59The ticket price is £110 -
0:30:59 > 0:31:03a lot more than the £66.30 she has left.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07What can we do the box for? Because that's quite nice, isn't it?
0:31:07 > 0:31:10I have 110 on it. SHE GASPS
0:31:10 > 0:31:11OK.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15What do you think? You're looking anxious. Don't be anxious.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21- At the very best, £40. - The very best? Yeah?- Yeah...
0:31:21 > 0:31:24OK, well, I will have that off you for £40,
0:31:24 > 0:31:26as long as you're happy with that.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- Yeah?- Do I not look...?- You don't look very ecstatic. - SHE LAUGHS
0:31:29 > 0:31:33What a man, eh? £70 off.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Could this be the lot to give Christina her first big profit?
0:31:37 > 0:31:41We're nearing the end of the second leg of the journey.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Here's a rundown on what Charlie
0:31:42 > 0:31:45and Christine picked up on their travels.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Charlie started the trip by securing a cracking deal,
0:31:48 > 0:31:51bagging an Edwardian leather cartridge case,
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Mr Gubbins's old deed box and an early 20th century
0:31:55 > 0:31:58comptometer calculator, all for just £55.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03He also purchased an antler glass holder
0:32:03 > 0:32:07and Peter, the one-eyed puffer fish, fully inflated and preserved.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11The five lots costs Charlie £150. Look out!
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Christina's purchases include a 19th-century Staffordshire rabbit,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20a porcelain cup and saucer featuring hand-painted
0:32:20 > 0:32:23views of the Highlands, a fine lead glass crystal rummer,
0:32:23 > 0:32:26a mother of pearl insert circular box
0:32:26 > 0:32:30and a silver bottle-stopper and cut glass decanter.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Not forgetting the vintage golf club. Gosh.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34And all that cost her £150, too.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Ooh, there are some cracking lots there. They must be pleased.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I think I'm feeling quietly confident
0:32:42 > 0:32:45because I bought traditional antiques.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46I bought the best lot.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49My cartridge case is without doubt far better than anything.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51There's no doubt about that at all.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54I like his cartridge case. I think he's bought well there.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55It's an interesting thing.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58What's this antler thing? It's wacky, isn't it?
0:32:58 > 0:33:01I think a trip to the zoo is going to his head!
0:33:01 > 0:33:06I think the thing that's really going to win it for me is Pierre -
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Peter the puffer fish.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11You ain't got one of those and I have.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13The puffer fish, I think
0:33:13 > 0:33:16is possibly the most grotesque thing I've ever seen in my life.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18I mean, that is the stuff of nightmares, isn't it?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Well, auction glory is what dreams are made of.
0:33:22 > 0:33:28It's time to turn those lots into profit and head south to Galashiels.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- This is our last day in Scotland. - Awww!
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- We are going to be crossing the border.- Thank the Lord!
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Does that mean the kilt comes off? - Don't you like my kilt?
0:33:37 > 0:33:38It's about time it had a wash.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41The second biggest town in the Borders, Gala,
0:33:41 > 0:33:43as it's known to the locals,
0:33:43 > 0:33:48has a rich history in the textile industry dating back to the 1500s.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51The scene for today's auction is Hall's Auctioneers,
0:33:51 > 0:33:54who've been trading in the town for almost 20 years.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55Here we are.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Here we are. Oh, look who's in the window!
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Pierre!- Pierre!
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- The one-eyed sloth. - He's not a sloth, he's a puffer fish.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Michael Hall is on the rostrum today.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14He started in the antiques and collectables business in 1970.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17He knows his onions, but what does he think about our items?
0:34:17 > 0:34:20I think the leather and brass cartridge case
0:34:20 > 0:34:22is probably the most interesting.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24We have had them in before and they do well.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27And we also have a nice cup and saucer.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31They have painted reserves of Highland scenes,
0:34:31 > 0:34:33but I don't think that's going to make too much.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35I think it'll be £10, maybe £15.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39Christina desperately needs a profit or she'll struggle on the next
0:34:39 > 0:34:40leg of the road trip.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44Charlie is stretching ahead, but will his gamble of buying
0:34:44 > 0:34:47peculiar items end his run of good luck?
0:34:47 > 0:34:48Let's find out.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51First up and getting us into the swing of things,
0:34:51 > 0:34:52Christina's golfing lot.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Here we go. Good luck, darling. What did it cost, 45?- Hm.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02Ten to start it. £10. Ten is bid. Any more than ten?
0:35:02 > 0:35:06- Everything starts low here and he works it into a frenzy.- 13.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07And a pound. It's going up.
0:35:07 > 0:35:0917. 18.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11- 19.- He's just milking it along. - Go on!
0:35:11 > 0:35:13- £20. Any more at £20?- Oh, no.
0:35:13 > 0:35:1521. 22.
0:35:15 > 0:35:1723. 24.
0:35:17 > 0:35:1925. 26.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23- 26? Are you bidding here?- Don't forget the one-iron. Here we go!
0:35:23 > 0:35:26It's really rocketing along.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28£30. Any more at 30?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- Any more at 30? - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Ouch! Not a great start.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- That's not a hole-in-one. - It isn't.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37First up for Charlie, his antlers.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40He's rebranded it as a zoomorphic glass holder
0:35:40 > 0:35:42in the auction catalogue.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Here's hoping the posh name will entice big bidders.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47At 10. 11. 12.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52- 13. 14.- Can we go in more than ones, please?- 17. 18.
0:35:52 > 0:35:5419. 20. 21. 22.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- It's a long way to go.- Patience, Charlie. Every pound counts.
0:35:58 > 0:36:0129. 30. 31.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06- £31. 32.- Keep going, keep going! - 33. 34.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- 35. 36.- Come on.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10- 37.- Keep going.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13£37. Any more at 37?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15All finished, then, 37.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20Ah, not so horny. And sadly, so Charlie's profits plummet.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22That's a loss of £28.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23If he'd had that priced at 100,
0:36:23 > 0:36:25I have to confess I'd still have bought it.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Oh, really? Oh, Charlie, where's your taste gone?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30The same way as his profits.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Now for Christina's lovely lead glass crystal rummer.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36We'll start the bidding off at £21 for the rummer.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38- That's a very useful start.- 24. 25.
0:36:38 > 0:36:4026. 26 on the rummer.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- At 26. Any more?- Come on!
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Keep going, keep going, keep going!- At £26.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47It's a nice rummer. At £26.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- Go on, keep going. - Are we all finished at 26?
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Oh, a disappointing loss of £4.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57Next to go under the gavel is Mr Gubbins's old deed box.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58Charlie got this for a steal.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02If he can't get me a profit on this, I'll give up. It only cost a fiver.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03£10?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05£10 for the deed box. 10 is bid.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- 11.- See, it got started.- 12.
0:37:08 > 0:37:1013. 14.
0:37:10 > 0:37:1215. 16. 17.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15It's like using a sort of calculator. Come on.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18£20 for the deed box. Last time. It's going at 20.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- All finished? - No, keep going!- £20, then.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26A very healthy gain of £15. He's tripled his outlay - excellent!
0:37:26 > 0:37:28In a strange way, I'm disappointed.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32I mean, it wasn't dear, was it, for 20 quid?
0:37:32 > 0:37:33It wasn't dear for five!
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Blimey!
0:37:36 > 0:37:37The pressure is on.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Can Christina make her first profit
0:37:39 > 0:37:42with a nice 19th-century cup and saucer?
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- £10.- Come on, come on.- At 11.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47At £11. Any more? £11.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49It's ripping away, isn't it?
0:37:49 > 0:37:5012.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- At 13. The gentleman next to me is bidding now.- £13.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58- Any more at 13?- Just about wiped its face.- All finished at 13?
0:37:58 > 0:38:01I have to say, in the overall scheme of things,
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- that's a whacking great profit for you.- Well, it's a profit.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- I'll take it.- I think you made a pound there.- Yay!
0:38:09 > 0:38:12After auction costs, she's made £1.37, actually, Charlie.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15You need a calculator, mate!
0:38:15 > 0:38:20Talking of which, the comptometer is up next. Bought for just £20.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22If I can start it off at £31.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- See? Finally. Here we go.- 31.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28At 31. Any more at 31?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30No more at £31?
0:38:30 > 0:38:31All done.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Ah, that added up to a nice profit of £11.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Next under the hammer, Charlie's leather cartridge case,
0:38:38 > 0:38:39bought for £30.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41A lot of interest in it.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- And I can start it off at £160. - THEY GASP
0:38:44 > 0:38:47A commission bid of £160 to start us off.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Crikey!
0:38:49 > 0:38:50160. 170. 180.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- 190.- This is better.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56The fellow's going up in tens now, not ones.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- 230. 240.- Hold my hand.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01240 against you. 250. 260.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05- 260. Any more at 260 for the cartridge case?- It cost 30 quid.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07It goes down at 260...
0:39:08 > 0:39:14Charlie has pulled it out of the old bag! A £230 profit. Well done!
0:39:14 > 0:39:17£230 profit! It's unbelievable.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20That's more than I could possibly have hoped for.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Christina is on catch-up now.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Hopefully, the box with mother of pearl inlay bought for £40
0:39:25 > 0:39:27will stir some interest.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- Start me off at £50 for it. - It's a good start.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- 50.- At 50.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Time to start it. £10.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- 10 is bid.- Uh-oh.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38Back to one pounds.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41He is bidding like the absolute clappers.
0:39:41 > 0:39:4321. £21 here.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47- He needs some opposition. He needs somebody to...- 23.
0:39:47 > 0:39:4924. 25. 26.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- 27.- Keep going, keep going.- 28. 29. - Do you think it's going to make 300?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- No.- 32. 33.
0:39:54 > 0:39:5634. 35.
0:39:56 > 0:40:0036. 36. Any more on 36? At 36 for the box.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- Come on!- At 36...
0:40:03 > 0:40:05At 36, all finished.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Another loss! What a blow for Christina.
0:40:08 > 0:40:13- Oh, Charlie, this is all getting very disastrous.- Don't cry, darling.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Don't cry.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Now for Peter, the one-eyed puffer fish.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20Christina needs to make a big profit with her little Staffordshire bunny.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Could this be the lot that will turn her fortunes?

0:42:01 > 0:42:04Oh, Christina, a disappointing end. Bad luck.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Put it there, partner.
0:42:06 > 0:42:11Here's to England. Your fortunes will change in England. Come on.
0:42:11 > 0:42:18After paying auction costs, Ms Trevanion has made a loss of £47.50.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21As a result, Christina has £128.80 to carry forward.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41Well! That was marvellous.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44I have made so much money I can afford a chauffeur. Drive me away.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Oh, it's just too depressing for words.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Ugh! Never mind.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Goodbye to you, too.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Now, do get some well earned rest.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Next time on the Antiques Road Trip, Charlie is rolling in it.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02I'm on a roll here and the problem is having so much money,
0:43:02 > 0:43:04because you just want to spend it.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07While Christina has to negotiate hard.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11£40? Don't be...! Is that including the bird poo or without?
