0:01:27 > 0:01:30Erm, best known for his gentle ways.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Just twisting your arm behind your back!

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Terry, it's actually hurting now.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38MUSIC: "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond

0:01:39 > 0:01:43We've also got actress Caroline Quentin of Kiss Me Kate,

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Men Behaving Badly

0:01:45 > 0:01:49and Jonathan Creek fame, who's used to a bit of detective work.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Ah, that's a big one, Caroline!

0:01:52 > 0:01:57- Look at Charlie! - Oh, my word! Gorgeous!

0:01:57 > 0:02:01This pair of stars are on an antiques road trip

0:02:01 > 0:02:03all in the name of Children In Need

0:02:03 > 0:02:06and to stop them driving up a blind alley

0:02:06 > 0:02:10they have two pillars of the antiques community helping them -

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Charlie Ross...

0:02:12 > 0:02:14and Charles Hanson.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16CREAKING GEARS

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Oh, don't, don't, don't!

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Can we have one change? Ah!

0:02:20 > 0:02:23AH! AHH!

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Charles is an auctioneer with a taste for the unusual.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Do you enjoy seafood?

0:02:30 > 0:02:33I love seafood, that looks delicious, can I start?

0:02:33 > 0:02:39While Charlie, also an auctioneer, prefers something lyrical.

0:02:39 > 0:02:40THEY WARBLE

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Oh, dear.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Our celebrities have £400 each to spend on antiques

0:02:52 > 0:02:55and their mission - to make a profit at auction.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58So, not surprisingly, they'll stop at nothing to win!

0:02:58 > 0:02:59I don't know about you,

0:02:59 > 0:03:02but it's my intention to drive an extremely hard bargain.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Me too.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07When you get the price down, I thought I might be really, erm...

0:03:07 > 0:03:09what's the word?

0:03:09 > 0:03:12- A little bit like a Jack Russell and not let go of it.- Tigerish!- Uh-huh!

0:03:12 > 0:03:14This'll be interesting.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16During this road trip,

0:03:16 > 0:03:20Sir Terry and Caroline kick off on Woodstock, near Oxford,

0:03:20 > 0:03:24and travel 60 miles across the Oxfordshire countryside,

0:03:24 > 0:03:27ending at an auction in Chiswick, London.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Oh, wowee!- Morning!

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Oh, my word, what a delightful couple they look!

0:03:34 > 0:03:36It's a bit bigger than ours, isn't it?

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Are you newly married, you two?

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Yes, we are, you catch us on our honeymoon!

0:03:42 > 0:03:45And where better to strike an alliance than Woodstock?

0:03:45 > 0:03:50Close to Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Winston Churchill.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Who's with who?- I think we look quite good together

0:03:52 > 0:03:54cos we're both in pale colours, what about you?

0:03:54 > 0:03:57- You're both dressed for safari! - THEY LAUGH

0:03:57 > 0:04:00- We are! And you're both dressed for boating.- Yes.- Yes.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Despite that blazer of yours,

0:04:03 > 0:04:05I think we can work together happily.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07- I'm very, very happy with that. - Caroline.- Yes.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Melt into my arms and I'll show you a good time.- Definitely, very good!

0:04:11 > 0:04:14And with an air of knowing what they're doing,

0:04:14 > 0:04:19Caroline and Charlie head purposefully into Woodstock Arts and Antiques

0:04:19 > 0:04:20and proprietor Michael Jackson.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22MUSIC: "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Hello?- Hello, hello, I'm Caroline. - No, not that one.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Lovely to see you! - Charlie Ross, lovely to see you.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32I tell you what, Caroline. If you look round and I'll look round,

0:04:32 > 0:04:34- give a little squeal if you see something you like.- OK.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Come on then, Charles.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Look at this, it's an Aladdin's cave.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Look what I've seen immediately.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44It's an original oil painting of a Connemara landscape,

0:04:44 > 0:04:46west of Ireland and I just, what do you think?

0:04:46 > 0:04:50Does it take you back to your youth? To your very young years?

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Well, yes, it does, obviously takes me back to Ireland,

0:04:53 > 0:04:56but 56 quid, do you think it's a bargain at that?

0:04:56 > 0:04:59It's, I think it's very decorative.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01I think, maybe, it's one to think about.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04I think that's a no from you, Charles, isn't it?

0:05:09 > 0:05:11- I quite like this little squirrel here.- Yeah?

0:05:11 > 0:05:17- It's a German porcelain squirrel by Ernst Bohne.- Mental note, Charles.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20We'll make a little mental note of that one.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23- And also the Irish picture. - Oh, I like that mirror.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26Look, this is quite flattering, let me just...adjust my...OK.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30- It's just part of the furniture here, is it?- It is for sale.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Oh, it's for sale.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35It's a 19th century oval gilded mirror, it could be yours for 155.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39- We'll think of that.- Mental note. - Little mental note.

0:05:39 > 0:05:40I like your mental notes.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Yeah, we don't want to overload our mental capacities, here.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44I'm overloaded already, Terry.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48I've got a feeling this is going to take quite some time.

0:05:48 > 0:05:53This is a fabulous jug! Lustreware is usually not marked.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Sometimes it has a mark, but no mark there.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58I think, erm, Wedgwood started lustreware

0:05:58 > 0:06:01and lustreware went on through to...

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Right the way through the Victorian period.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05They loved this sort of thing...

0:06:05 > 0:06:08It's called lustreware for its metallic glaze

0:06:08 > 0:06:11that gives it an iridescent look.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15So it appears to change colour as you move it around.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Do you love the pink and the price?

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Between £300 and £400.

0:06:19 > 0:06:24- Yeah, well, 425.- 425, yeah. Isn't it lovely, though?

0:06:24 > 0:06:27It's really lovely, but we've got 400 quid!

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Oh, you're so level headed.

0:06:29 > 0:06:34That's a beautiful genuine antique with a lot of history to it.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Sort of thing we should be looking for, but...- Yeah.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40- (Slightly less pricey.) - Yeah. I like that, the cream pot.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42It's got a massive chip in the front, I can see from here,

0:06:42 > 0:06:44- but I still like it. - Isn't it fun, though?

0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Isn't that gorgeous? - I do really like it.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Can I come round this side? That's it.- Yeah!

0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Don't you think that's lovely? - I think it's absolutely delightful!

0:06:52 > 0:06:5419th-century cream pail, very large,

0:06:54 > 0:06:58"Maling Cream Pail, some damage, circa 1900."

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Maling pottery was first produced in Sunderland nearly 250 years ago

0:07:03 > 0:07:08and tends to be functional pieces, like tableware and toilet pans.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11I think that's just super.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Yeah, you're not going to think the price is super, darling.- Am I not?

0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Yeah, it's 325.- Oh, Michael knows his stuff, doesn't he?

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Hm, he does, that's lovely.

0:07:20 > 0:07:25With these prices, I feel a serious bit of haggling coming on.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Could you lose yourself for a minute?

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Michael, come here. Michael, come here.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Michael, oh, Michael!

0:07:34 > 0:07:37I am the expert, but I'm not leading this, am I?

0:07:37 > 0:07:40I mean, let's, let's face it, Caroline is a thrusty girl

0:07:40 > 0:07:41and she's taken over.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44- I'll leave it with you.- Leave it with me, I shall just have a look.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46All right, Michael.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51I see, so Charlie's the expert, but Caroline is doing all the haggling.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Any action down the road yet?

0:07:54 > 0:07:57It's a 1960s Venetian Murano glass lemonade set.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00- I've been to Murano, I've seen them blow the glass in Murano.- Yeah.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02You'll know then, Terry,

0:08:02 > 0:08:06that Murano glass is from the Venetian Island of Murano

0:08:06 > 0:08:11and is best know for its vibrant colours and elaborate designs.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15Maybe this more unusual design could swing a profit at auction?

0:08:15 > 0:08:19And when it comes to haggling, Sir Terry's approach is more direct.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23- Ooh.- Hello. - I can feel the touch coming on!

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Charles and Terry, Terry and Charles.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Just twisting your arm behind your back.- OK, right. Now, look.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Keep smiling, keep smiling! - Yeah, I'm smiling.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33We are getting very desperate now for a purchase,

0:08:33 > 0:08:37- we do like your very wacky Murano set, don't we, Terry?- Yes, we do.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39- And we're hoping for a competitive price.- Even with the box?

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Now, you must stop wincing, just cos I'm twisting your arm.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Terry, it's actually hurting now. - It's not meant to hurt.- No.

0:08:45 > 0:08:50- It's just meant to concentrate your mind.- It's an exquisite agony!- Oh!

0:08:50 > 0:08:56- OK, tell you what, I'll give you crunch price.- Yes.- £110.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Crunch price, no hassle.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02- I tell you, I love it! - As a Northerner to... You even get the box.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Say no more!- Say no more? Put it there.- It's a done deal.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Thank you very much.- It's a sale, thanks very much.- Thank you.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Terry, good work!- Well spotted, well spotted!- Thank you, Terry.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Hooray, our first buy!

0:09:14 > 0:09:19Down the road, competitive Caroline is squeezing Michael hard

0:09:19 > 0:09:25to slash that hefty £425 price tag on the lustreware pot.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29And Charlie's been brought back from the wilderness to seal the deal.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32You see, Michael, if you ever had something here,

0:09:32 > 0:09:34like an opening of something, or anything

0:09:34 > 0:09:38and you needed someone off to telly to come and cut a ribbon, or...

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Ah! Loving your vibes!

0:09:41 > 0:09:44You know, there's all sorts of deals to be done here, Michael.

0:09:44 > 0:09:51For £170, plus some sort of charitable services?

0:09:51 > 0:09:52Michael,

0:09:52 > 0:09:56I don't want you to feel I'm putting any unnecessary pressure on you.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58CHARLIE LAUGHS

0:09:58 > 0:10:01- We've got it, 180.- 170.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Tell you what, I'll do it for 175,

0:10:03 > 0:10:05but there's a brooch I want in the window.

0:10:05 > 0:10:10Hang on, hang on, hang on! It's not a valuable brooch.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13- It isn't a valuable brooch, I just love it!- 175 with the brooch.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16YAY! Michael Jackson!

0:10:16 > 0:10:19- You have won tonight's star prize. - You're absolutely gorgeous.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21I am thrilled with that!

0:10:21 > 0:10:23I can't say we're going to make a fortune on it.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27- But we both like it.- We can put that in the auction proudly!

0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Here's trouble.- Who are these people?

0:10:32 > 0:10:36CAROLINE SINGS THEM FROM "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly"

0:10:36 > 0:10:37GUNSHOT

0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Peow!- You turned out to be Clint Eastwood.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Have you had a very successful morning?- How was it?

0:10:43 > 0:10:45- You spend your money? - Worrying.- Yeah.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49- The depths of my ignorance is worrying.- Is it?

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Yeah, but I think we got one good thing.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53- How are you getting on with, erm... - Charlie?

0:10:53 > 0:10:56- He's, erm, he's a tough master. - Pushy, he's pushy.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00- He's, erm, he's holding me back! - Caroline is very, very competitive.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Oh, really?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05We bought something this morning, I had to go out,

0:11:05 > 0:11:07she sent me out of the room and she clinched it,

0:11:07 > 0:11:09- well, she literally clinched the shopkeeper!- You're joking?!

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Which did the business!- Really?

0:11:11 > 0:11:14- We're too gentile for this. - I think we are, really.

0:11:14 > 0:11:15I wouldn't, for instance, want to debase myself

0:11:15 > 0:11:18by throwing myself at someone just to get a few quid off a pot.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Are you going to?- I'm going in this man's...- Terry, come on!

0:11:21 > 0:11:23You'll never get a penny...

0:11:23 > 0:11:27So, with one piece each and some questionable behaviour,

0:11:27 > 0:11:29our pair of luvvies swap shops.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31We've had the best stuff in there anyway!

0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Come on, we'll go down here. - Waste of time.- Exactly.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36- I'm like Terry's hound dog, OK. I'm the one who will bark...- Yep.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38- ..and try and negotiate and Terry's my finder, OK.- OK.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42He throws a stone to me, or stick and I have to dig.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44- I'm off, Terry, OK, I'm off. - Carry on, carry on.

0:11:44 > 0:11:45- I'm digging deep, Terry.- Yeah.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49You know, he doesn't do a thing I tell him!

0:11:52 > 0:11:53- Terry!- Oh, come on, then!

0:11:55 > 0:11:59At the far end of the shop, hunting hound Henson has sniffed out

0:11:59 > 0:12:01this Spode tea set.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06Terry, it's hand enamelled, it's gilded, we've got the teapot...

0:12:06 > 0:12:07You've got everything here.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10- ..the milk jug... What's this? Have a guess.- That's a sugar bowl.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13- It's what we tend to call a sucrier. Sucrier and cover.- Ah!

0:12:13 > 0:12:18This famous factory of English pottery from Stoke-on-Trent

0:12:18 > 0:12:22so impressed the Prince of Wales in 1906 that he asked Spode

0:12:22 > 0:12:27to produce the banqueting service for his coronation as George IV.

0:12:27 > 0:12:32Well, if it's good enough for a king it's good enough for a knight of the realm, eh, Terry?

0:12:32 > 0:12:35However, look at that little spout, it's been riveted,

0:12:35 > 0:12:41it's an old restoration, it's a bit frivolous, it's a bit floral,

0:12:41 > 0:12:42it's a bit out of vogue.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Er, every reason not to buy it then, Charles.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48I can just see those plates with cucumber sandwiches on them...

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Oh, Terry!- ..without any crusts. - Exactly!

0:12:51 > 0:12:54It's on at a fair price, but...

0:12:54 > 0:12:58- I would really try and knock that price down a bit.- Hm.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01You're a hard man, I know that, I've learnt that over the morning.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05Well, Terry, I just feel I've got a duty, an honour to serve you

0:13:05 > 0:13:08and my duty is to make money for you, sir.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11But it's also in your nature to hammer out a hard bargain.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15Let's leave master and servant to their tea set.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Oh, it's lovely!

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Erm, it's a Liberty piece...

0:13:20 > 0:13:23- I'm glad you didn't go for that, actually.- Oh, I like that!

0:13:23 > 0:13:27Hands off, Caroline, this one's Sir Terry's!

0:13:27 > 0:13:31- What would you pay for it? - 110.- Really?

0:13:31 > 0:13:33You must be psychic...

0:13:33 > 0:13:37- cos we've just sold it to Sir Terry. - What?!- You've?

0:13:37 > 0:13:38THEY LAUGH

0:13:38 > 0:13:42- That is Sir Terry's?- What did he pay for it?- Oh, I can't possibly say.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Oh, go on!- Oh, you've got to tell me!

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, I said... I've got to remember 110.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49- You think there's a profit in that?- Yeah.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52You don't, Charlie, you don't.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56- I think it's quite west London.- I do.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Don't tell me we've gone too traditional!- No, we're all right.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Hello, we're admiring your mantelpiece,

0:14:02 > 0:14:05but more so, the tea set upon it!

0:14:05 > 0:14:07What's the very, very, very, very best?

0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Go on, go on!- 110, I can't do better than that.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Is there anything else you can recommend to offer?- I have.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Excellent, a piece of Art Deco, eh?

0:14:19 > 0:14:24- A bit better than that Spode, surely?- Have a feel, Terry.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26- Feel it to believe it. - Well, you see, I...

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Erm, I don't know anything about this kind of thing.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30- What do you know about it? - Is it by Charlotte Rhead?

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Absolutely, and signed.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36- Terry, have you heard of Clarice Cliff?- Yes, I have, we have some at home.- Wonderful.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Well, this lady, called Charlotte Rhead,

0:14:38 > 0:14:40was really on a par to Susie Cooper

0:14:40 > 0:14:44and they were three very important, influential ladies,

0:14:44 > 0:14:46very attractive ladies in their day,

0:14:46 > 0:14:51who were forward thinking in taking the ceramic industry away from all things which had gone before.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53They were very radical in their design.

0:14:53 > 0:14:58- OK, Charles, time to go in for the kill.- £50 will buy that.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01We'll call it 150 for the two.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03I think that sounds like a good deal to me.

0:15:03 > 0:15:08I would love to buy that set, but I would need to spend about £80.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Is that really, really mean?- Yeah.

0:15:10 > 0:15:11- Really, really mean. - Totally ridiculous.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Am I walking away? The absolutely best is 110?

0:15:14 > 0:15:19No, we've already come down 100. It's 140, the best was 150.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23You've said 40 on this and 100 on that, 140.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27- That's even lower, Terry.- That is it.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30- You heard the man.- Well, I would say, Terry...- It's a deal.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32We're in it together, we'll buy it together.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Put it there.- Thank you very much.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Well, not really, Charles.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40You might think we were all created equally,

0:15:40 > 0:15:44but when it comes down to it, some are more equal than others.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51With Woodstock behind them, our couples make a short sprint south,

0:15:51 > 0:15:54to the city of dreaming spires, Oxford.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58I've negotiated with some pretty tough nuts in my time,

0:15:58 > 0:16:01- but you are the bizzo! - Thanks, Charlie.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03- I cannot wait to get to Oxford... - Thank you!

0:16:03 > 0:16:08..to see you rip off some poor old man in the middle of Oxford!

0:16:08 > 0:16:09Oxford...

0:16:09 > 0:16:14Home to the venerable University for 800 years,

0:16:14 > 0:16:17that's turned out some 26 prime ministers,

0:16:17 > 0:16:2147 Nobel Prize winners and at least 12 saints.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25Alas, there's nothing heavenly about the way this couple are behaving.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28God, you're lovely!

0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Isn't he, though? He's quite, he is lovely!- He's better close up!

0:16:31 > 0:16:37Caroline, that wonderful Sherlock Holmesian item.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40- That's hilarious!- Do you like that?

0:16:40 > 0:16:42What does it remind you of, Caroline?

0:16:42 > 0:16:47- It reminded me of Jonathan Creek. - Jonathan Creek! Very good.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49I could, it's good, actually, it's really good.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53- It's not old, though, is it? - It's got age.- Has it really?

0:16:53 > 0:16:56It's certainly Edwardian, I think. You look at that brass collar.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Really, Charlie? I can't pay £38 for it, though!

0:16:59 > 0:17:01No, I'm not suggesting you pay anything LIKE 38 quid,

0:17:01 > 0:17:03but don't you think it's a fun thing?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05I lo... It actually makes me really laugh.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Shall I go on the pavement again? - Get out!- Off he goes again, look.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Who does this, is it not yours to sell? Whose is it?- It's Andrew's.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Have you got his phone number?

0:17:13 > 0:17:15You say it's lovely to talk to me now, Andrew,

0:17:15 > 0:17:17but when I've told you what I'm going to tell you,

0:17:17 > 0:17:19you won't say it's lovely! I really like the big viewer.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23You've got it at £38, which is way out of my budget.

0:17:26 > 0:17:27How many?

0:17:27 > 0:17:28Not 22?

0:17:28 > 0:17:3123? I LOVE you, Andrew,

0:17:31 > 0:17:33and when I come back to Oxford

0:17:33 > 0:17:36I am going to kiss you full on the lips when I see you!

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Oh, promises, promises!

0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Great.- Are you pleased?- Rea... I'm actually delighted!- Goodie!

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- I'm going to take you to Tetsworth, now...- OK.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49- ..where you can work your magic again.- All right, darling.- Come on!

0:17:49 > 0:17:53Oh, Charlie, you smoothie! You do know how to show a girl a good time!

0:17:58 > 0:18:03As team Quentin heads off into the sunset in search of fresh pickings,

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Sir Terry is keen to educate his young charge about something that's,

0:18:06 > 0:18:09well, closer to his broadcasting heart.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13With a spring in their step

0:18:13 > 0:18:17they head for the Museum of the History of Science

0:18:17 > 0:18:22for a tutorial on Marconi, the father of wireless broadcasting.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25Taking the lesson is museum director Jim Bennett.

0:18:25 > 0:18:29- Good to meet you!- My dear fellow! - Welcome to the Museum of the History of Science.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33- Tremendous, you've got to show us. - It's wonderful.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Born in Italy in 1874,

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Marconi's early work involved finding ways

0:18:38 > 0:18:43of sending telegraphic messages in Morse code, without using cables.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Hence the word...wireless.

0:18:46 > 0:18:51When Marconi came to England with this wireless idea in 1896

0:18:51 > 0:18:52developments have been extraordinary.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55First sending signals across the channel, then across the Atlantic

0:18:55 > 0:18:58and communicating with ships, that's the big development there.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00So, you can have radio operators on ships

0:19:00 > 0:19:02and then of course, famously, with the Titanic.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05You have the radio operators on Titanic

0:19:05 > 0:19:10sending messages while the ship is sinking to nearby ships...

0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Correct.- ..and calling for help and so on.

0:19:13 > 0:19:19So the 700, or so, people who are saved were due to Marconi's radio.

0:19:21 > 0:19:25However, it wasn't until the onset of World War One

0:19:25 > 0:19:28that Marconi developed radio for broadcast

0:19:28 > 0:19:31by using wireless technology to transmit speech

0:19:31 > 0:19:33as well as Morse code.

0:19:34 > 0:19:40One of the things we have here is a microphone that Dame Nellie Melba

0:19:40 > 0:19:47used when he set up the very first live radio music broadcast.

0:19:47 > 0:19:48Of course, Melba was a great star.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50You know, the world's most famous soprano.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52You could never get a ticket to see Melba,

0:19:52 > 0:19:55you can't afford one, even if you can get one,

0:19:55 > 0:19:59but Marconi, his stunt was to bring Melba into your living room.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01MELBA SINGING

0:20:05 > 0:20:09They realised this was an important moment in the history of radio

0:20:09 > 0:20:11because, if you look at this,

0:20:11 > 0:20:13you can see that after the famous broadcast

0:20:13 > 0:20:18Melba has signed it, "Nellie Melba, 1920."

0:20:21 > 0:20:26By 1922, the era of broadcasting to the home, first by radio

0:20:26 > 0:20:29and later television, had begun.

0:20:29 > 0:20:34Initially the Post Office regulated broadcast licenses,

0:20:34 > 0:20:36until finally they came together

0:20:36 > 0:20:40under the British Broadcasting Corporation, or BBC.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44- And Marconi would produce these himself?- Yeah, in his factory.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47And I see there is a BBC logo up there as well.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51Yes, there were radios that were compatible with the BBC system.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54So having the BBC sign there

0:20:54 > 0:20:58meant that you had the right sort of radio for BBC listening.

0:20:58 > 0:20:59Terry, what do you prefer?

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Would it be television now, or radio back then?

0:21:02 > 0:21:04I think, at any time,

0:21:04 > 0:21:09radio is a slightly more satisfactory medium as a presenter.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Do you feel closer to your audience?

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Yeah, that's what you try and do on radio is create,

0:21:15 > 0:21:16if you like, a little kind of club.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Radio is not about an audience,

0:21:20 > 0:21:24radio is about individuals listening.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26One or two people at most.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29The audience is a theatrical concept,

0:21:29 > 0:21:34but radio is about almost a one-to-one communication.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38Well, this is telly, Tel, and it waits for no man!

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Meanwhile, Caroline and Charlie are heading southeast,

0:21:45 > 0:21:48to Tetsworth, for one final shop of the day.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51If only the owner of this rural retreat

0:21:51 > 0:21:53knew what was about to hit him.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Willie, I'd like you to meet Caroline.

0:21:56 > 0:22:01- Hello, Willie - lovely to meet you! - Thank you for coming along. - I'm just thrilled to be here!

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Single wishbone-backed chair.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11Usually oak, but I think this might be Pugin. Gothic detail.

0:22:11 > 0:22:17I don't think we can afford this, though, because it's £26,000.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Not even cutting a ribbon or giving a kiss

0:22:19 > 0:22:22will get you that one, Caroline.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Alternatively...

0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Whitefriars started in the 19th century.- Yeah.

0:22:28 > 0:22:33And we think of Whitefriars being 1950s, '60s.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37Whitefriars glass, so called because the factory

0:22:37 > 0:22:41was in the Whitefriars area of London, dates back to 1834.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45Starting as stained-glass manufacturers, over the years,

0:22:45 > 0:22:50designers have moved to tableware and textured glass.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52It's the most beautiful, beautiful object.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55It's got a fabulous colour to it.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Look at the way the colour changes as the light changes.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03I think that's given Caroline an idea.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06What about best price on the decanter there, Willie?

0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Ah, now that's a pretty rare one. - Yeah.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13Yeah. Barnaby Powell, 1932.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17- 285.- Yeah.

0:23:17 > 0:23:23Probably bought that all right. 195.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26- For you.- I think that's almost exactly what I've got left.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30Oh, bit steep! What about the glasses?

0:23:30 > 0:23:33You know, you could buy a couple of these on top.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35On top?!

0:23:35 > 0:23:38It would take my set down to eight.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40But it would show the decanter off, wouldn't it?

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Yeah. But I don't know. How much would they cost?

0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Two for 20, to you.- I need to talk to Charlie about this.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50I can't make the decision on my own - it's too scary.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55Have you tried offering Willie £20 for two of the glasses,

0:23:55 > 0:23:56without the decanter?

0:23:56 > 0:23:59No, it hadn't occurred to me.

0:24:00 > 0:24:05Really? Willie, would you take 20 quid?! I've just had an idea.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08It's just come in - I don't know how I come up with this stuff!

0:24:08 > 0:24:11I've been a dealer and an auctioneer for years.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Would you sell me two of the glasses for £20 on their own?

0:24:14 > 0:24:19Yeah, I would, because we don't go back on our prices.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22# Sweet Caroline... #

0:24:22 > 0:24:23And the girl does it again!

0:24:23 > 0:24:26# Good times never seemed so good... #

0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Done your shopping?- Yes.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31Well done, Charlie.

0:24:31 > 0:24:32I don't know about them,

0:24:32 > 0:24:36but I'm exhausted after seeing the antics of our teams.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Can't think what tomorrow will bring.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46It's a new dawn, and our celebrities

0:24:46 > 0:24:49are ready for another day of antiques foraging.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56Already on this road trip, they've been to Woodstock and Oxford.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00Now, they're heading for Wallingford before the auction in Chiswick.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06So far, Sir Terry and his underling Charles

0:25:06 > 0:25:09have spent £250 on three items -

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Murano glass,

0:25:11 > 0:25:15a bespoke tea set and the Charlotte Rhead plate.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17They still have £150 left,

0:25:17 > 0:25:20but Team Hanson won't be putting their feet up.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Well - not both pairs, anyway.

0:25:25 > 0:25:29Caroline and comrade-in-arms Charlie Ross

0:25:29 > 0:25:32have parted with £218 and bought three items.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34A Sunderland plasterware pot,

0:25:34 > 0:25:38a giant magnifying glass and two Whitefriars tumblers.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Leaving them a generous £182.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49How are you coping with the legend that is Terry Wogan?

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Well, it's like his personal...fag.

0:25:51 > 0:25:56And in fact, you know, I was a hound dog, bidding and buying items.

0:25:56 > 0:26:01But I think, more so, Charlie - you know, he is SUCH a nice man.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Were you reduced to physical violence at any point?

0:26:04 > 0:26:07No, I found emotional blackmail to be absolutely my best weapon.

0:26:07 > 0:26:11- Ah! The old female - the old female trick, eh?- Yeah, you know it.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Did you burst into... - Big ploppy tears!

0:26:14 > 0:26:21I didn't. I left all the evilness and the ugliness to Charles.

0:26:21 > 0:26:25- Because it suits him better. - You're so right.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28With all to play for, our celebrity road-trippers and experts

0:26:28 > 0:26:32hit the town of Wallingford, a pleasant market town

0:26:32 > 0:26:34famed as a location for Midsomer Murders. Oh, look!

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Oh, look at the... May I try an olive, sir?

0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Of course you can.- Thank you. - Don't give them stuff for nothing!

0:26:41 > 0:26:44You're ruining your market!

0:26:44 > 0:26:46And with money still burning a hole in their pockets,

0:26:46 > 0:26:50it's time for both teams to get a move on.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Do you know, I quite like this vase. - You're a great man. And it's...

0:26:55 > 0:26:59- would you say Chinese, Japanese? - Terry, you're quite right.

0:26:59 > 0:27:03- This is Chinese export vase. - It's got a bit of a chip on it.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06Damage? Oh, nasty!

0:27:06 > 0:27:10And this vase is in what we call the famille rose palette of colours,

0:27:10 > 0:27:13with the chrysanthemums. You've heard of Ming?

0:27:13 > 0:27:17- I've heard of Tang.- Song?

0:27:17 > 0:27:18- Chung.- Chung, yeah.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21This, I think, is Chien Lung.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Chien Lung. Well done.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25I would, Terry, if this came into my sale room,

0:27:25 > 0:27:28estimate it would fetch between 100 and 150.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- There's no way you could do it for £100?- No.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33- No way, Jose?- No.- No.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36I mean, I could burst into tears. And fling myself at your mercy.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Do you want to try it?

0:27:38 > 0:27:40- No!- OK.- No, it's too undignified.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42OK. And the absolute best is...?

0:27:42 > 0:27:45- 120.- Thank you ever so much. - Thank you.

0:27:46 > 0:27:51It seems team Wogan and Hanson are back to just thinking. Oh, well.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55But nearby, Terry spots a £45 inkwell.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57Silver-plated, arts and crafts,

0:27:57 > 0:28:01and with a touch of the Rennie Mackintosh about it.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Terry, why does that appeal to you?

0:28:04 > 0:28:07I don't know. I just saw it when I came in,

0:28:07 > 0:28:11- and it gleamed at me. - Yes, yeah. Good object.

0:28:11 > 0:28:15Seems our celebs are getting the hang of this antiques lark.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19Feel up to a bit of haggling now, Sir Terry? Oh, go on!

0:28:19 > 0:28:23Theoretically, all that I've left is 30 quid.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25Well it came in with something else,

0:28:25 > 0:28:28and we've already sold that. OK, 30.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32- Thank you. It's a deal! - Superb.- It's a deal.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34Ah! Just to explain the money...

0:28:34 > 0:28:39- 30 smackers.- ..they have £150. - Pleasure.- Thanks again.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42The vase is £120. Leaving £30.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Except they haven't bought the vase yet.

0:28:44 > 0:28:48- Should we close this deal?- Give me half an hour, let me run round.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51- You have a sit down, and I'll bring everything to you. - Fair enough-ski.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Is that OK with you? - You're the man. - I'll see you shortly, Terry.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56- Carry on.- Shall I go upstairs first?

0:28:56 > 0:28:59Wherever your trained senses lead you.

0:28:59 > 0:29:00OK.

0:29:06 > 0:29:10# La da-da da, da-da,da

0:29:10 > 0:29:13# La, da-da da-da-da-da da da

0:29:13 > 0:29:15# La da da...

0:29:15 > 0:29:18# Give me your hand, my darling... #

0:29:18 > 0:29:21Oh! We've been caught in the act!

0:29:21 > 0:29:25Lunatics have taken over the asylum.

0:29:25 > 0:29:26Guard!

0:29:27 > 0:29:29Nurse!

0:29:29 > 0:29:31And I thought we'd got away with it!

0:29:31 > 0:29:33Actually, that's a very nice music stand.

0:29:33 > 0:29:37We like this. We think the people of Chiswick might care for this.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39We just think the people of Chiswick,

0:29:39 > 0:29:41with young children learning the violin...

0:29:41 > 0:29:45- There's nothing worse than hearing it!- My son is learning the violin. It's unspeakable.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48In fact, just come down here with me a minute, dear. Sit on my knee.

0:29:48 > 0:29:53- Go on, go on.- Your turn, Charlie, to flutter those eyelashes.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55We want to buy that for 50 quid.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57Oh, I bet you do. I could do it for 60.

0:29:57 > 0:30:01As it's you, Charlie, and for no other reason.

0:30:01 > 0:30:02What about me?

0:30:02 > 0:30:04Oh, and you.

0:30:04 > 0:30:0580 quid!

0:30:10 > 0:30:13Meanwhile, upstairs, Charles is working hard for his master.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15Who's not working hard.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18What have you got?

0:30:18 > 0:30:23Terry, these are Beswick flying seagulls. Do you like them?

0:30:23 > 0:30:27They're, as you know, quite sophisticated people of the world in Chiswick.

0:30:27 > 0:30:31They would equate that with ducks flying up the wall.

0:30:31 > 0:30:32Chintzy.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35A little bit sort of 1950s.

0:30:36 > 0:30:41- I think you're right, Terry. Not good enough. I'll see you later. - Take your seagulls away.

0:30:47 > 0:30:51Pretty soon now my man will come in with some antiques,

0:30:51 > 0:30:57of which he will try and impress me and I will doubtless reject him.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05Do you enjoy sea food?

0:31:05 > 0:31:08I love sea food. That looks delicious. Can I start?

0:31:08 > 0:31:10This is real history.

0:31:10 > 0:31:16This object really was inspired by the great Italian Renaissance potters of the 14th and 15th century.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19Don't be ridiculous. It's not my favourite thing.

0:31:19 > 0:31:20No.

0:31:20 > 0:31:21Good effort.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25Lunch?

0:31:25 > 0:31:28If we could have that in reality, that'd be fine, wouldn't it?

0:31:28 > 0:31:30- I'll get off. Thank you. - Good man. Good man.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35Done it again! How's he do that?

0:31:44 > 0:31:50Terry, I'm a mystical man, and these conjure up that Chinese vase we saw a short while ago.

0:31:50 > 0:31:52How much do you think they would sell for?

0:31:52 > 0:31:55I could see them making about £40.

0:31:55 > 0:31:56We paid 30 quid for them.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59- £10.- £10 is no use to me.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02Terry, I think we're thinking the same sort of thing.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04How about the Chinese vase we saw earlier on?

0:32:04 > 0:32:06Finally, a decision.

0:32:06 > 0:32:11The damaged Chien Lung, it is. Be it on your head though, Charles.

0:32:11 > 0:32:15We'll take it to the Chiswick auction room, and hopefully

0:32:15 > 0:32:20it will turn out to be a lost treasure and we'll make millions.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26- Try and be a bit more confident. - Sorry. Sorry, yes. No.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34So, with their shopping done, Caroline and Charles

0:32:34 > 0:32:38take a short break and go Buckinghamshire-bound to Hughenden Manor,

0:32:38 > 0:32:43once country retreat of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.

0:32:43 > 0:32:48On hand to reveal its secrets is Nicholas Witherick.

0:32:48 > 0:32:50- Welcome to Hughenden. - Caroline Quentin!- Hello.

0:32:50 > 0:32:55- Hello Caroline, nice to meet you. - Lovely to meet you, too.

0:32:55 > 0:33:01There's been a manor on this site since, oh, I don't know, yonks ago, around the Norman Conquest time,

0:33:01 > 0:33:09but this present stately pile is quite a youngster, more 18th century with remodelling in Victorian times.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16It was here that Disraeli entertained the great and the good,

0:33:16 > 0:33:22when he became Prime Minister in 1874, and in particular, his biggest fan.

0:33:22 > 0:33:24Queen Victoria came here.

0:33:24 > 0:33:30An unprecedented visit of an monarch to a sitting Prime Minister, visiting his private residence.

0:33:30 > 0:33:33That fantastic picture between the two windows of Queen Victoria

0:33:33 > 0:33:37painted by her favourite artist Von Angeli, and this is a copy.

0:33:37 > 0:33:41The original hangs in Windsor, and she liked it so much,

0:33:41 > 0:33:45she presented Disraeli with this copy, and it shows that it was

0:33:45 > 0:33:47a gift from her from the crown on top of the frame.

0:33:47 > 0:33:51Oh, OK. Yes, I see. Oh, that's great. So did she actually sit down for dinner in this room?

0:33:51 > 0:33:55She did. She came here for lunch with Princess Beatrice.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58She sat in this chair here, and we know it was this chair because

0:33:58 > 0:34:02Disraeli had an inch-and-a-half shaved off the legs of that chair.

0:34:02 > 0:34:06Being a very small lady, he wanted her feet to be firmly placed on the floor.

0:34:06 > 0:34:11- Oh, my God, that is adorable. So it's different. Oh, it is, I can tell!- It is. you can see that.

0:34:11 > 0:34:15How remarkable to do that to one chair when you have a set of, what, probably a dozen.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18A dozen chairs, and you know, to a purist you think,

0:34:18 > 0:34:21hang on, you've wrecked the whole set, doing that.

0:34:21 > 0:34:26- What would you have done, Charlie, cut some holes in the floor? - I'd have got another chair for her.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28Were they really good friends?

0:34:28 > 0:34:29Extremely close friends.

0:34:29 > 0:34:35She described him as her closest friend and her favourite Prime Minister.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37Oh, my God, that's incredible.

0:34:37 > 0:34:42The manor is best known for its famous political resident.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44That is, until very recently.

0:34:44 > 0:34:50Only by accident was this, Disraeli's Ice House, found to be more than it seemed.

0:34:52 > 0:34:56During the Second World War, these two rooms were key to the war effort.

0:34:56 > 0:35:01And this half of the Ice House, Disraeli's Ice House,

0:35:01 > 0:35:05was a mess room, for six guys who lived and worked in here

0:35:05 > 0:35:06called the Ice House Boys.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08What were they doing here?

0:35:08 > 0:35:12Developing maps for the bombing raids of the Second World War.

0:35:12 > 0:35:16So this side of the Ice House was the operational side,

0:35:16 > 0:35:19and this was key to the war effort.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22This was all about producing maps onto slides,

0:35:22 > 0:35:26photographing maps that had been hand-drawn in the manor

0:35:26 > 0:35:28by about 100 people.

0:35:28 > 0:35:32This primitive camera here would produce up to 200 slides a day

0:35:32 > 0:35:36of hand-drawn maps that were put onto glass slides

0:35:36 > 0:35:40and distributed from here to the southeast England airfields.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43Vital, vital work, and you didn't discover this...

0:35:43 > 0:35:45Well, not you, but it wasn't discovered until...?

0:35:45 > 0:35:492005, when a chap called Victor Gregory who worked here

0:35:49 > 0:35:51during the war came back with his grandson

0:35:51 > 0:35:54and began to tell his grandson about the story,

0:35:54 > 0:35:57and one of our room guides overheard him and began to question him.

0:35:57 > 0:36:01- How amazing that he hadn't written a book about it!- No.

0:36:01 > 0:36:05- And no research had been done up until that point.- So it was covered by the Official Secrets Act?

0:36:05 > 0:36:08It was, and we applied and that was lifted, and research began.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10These are original photographs.

0:36:10 > 0:36:14They show Hughenden whilst it was occupied by the RAF.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17Amazing. Look at this little happy band.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20- The camaraderie on the estate must have been amazing.- Extraordinary.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22They produced a newspaper called the Hillside Herald,

0:36:22 > 0:36:26which went out across the estate, and we have some originals here,

0:36:26 > 0:36:29that show you a typical wartime, witty newspaper,

0:36:29 > 0:36:33and this depicts the guys that used to live in the Ice House.

0:36:33 > 0:36:37They were known as the Ice House boys and they did all the work.

0:36:37 > 0:36:41Look, someone as a seal and someone shooting, with an igloo...

0:36:41 > 0:36:43and someone with champagne, Eskimos, penguins.

0:36:43 > 0:36:49- I read somewhere that Hitler had discovered that this was here and tried to bomb it.- He did.

0:36:49 > 0:36:54Hitler had the same intelligence system as we had here in Britain,

0:36:54 > 0:37:00and story has it that a German aircraft was shot out the sky over Britain

0:37:00 > 0:37:03and in the boot of the airman was found this list of sites...

0:37:03 > 0:37:06- Oh, my goodness me. - ..that was to be bombed.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09And at the top of that list, crossed here,

0:37:09 > 0:37:11is "High Wycombe, Schloss Hughenden",

0:37:11 > 0:37:14which is Hughenden Castle, he referred to it as.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17- How close did he get? - About a mile and a half.

0:37:17 > 0:37:20The bomb dropped and blew the windows out of the church,

0:37:20 > 0:37:22but they never found Hughenden.

0:37:22 > 0:37:26- We're surrounded by 750 acres of woodland.- Yeah, yeah.

0:37:26 > 0:37:30- So an incredible historical document. - That is!

0:37:30 > 0:37:32For our celebrities, the war is over.

0:37:32 > 0:37:36Time for them to head back to Wallingford

0:37:36 > 0:37:39and show each other their wares. Do the honours, Charlie.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41Oh...

0:37:42 > 0:37:46- Oh, it's back to front. - Of course. It's a mangle.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48It's a late-Victorian music stand.

0:37:48 > 0:37:52I see it...as not a tremendously useful object,

0:37:52 > 0:37:55but I think it's a nice piece of furniture.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57- Good.- It would sit well in a person's room.- OK.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00What's it going to fetch in a saleroom?

0:38:00 > 0:38:02I'd say it might fetch around about 300 quid.

0:38:02 > 0:38:07I'm going to say at auction, between, Caroline, £50 and £80.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09< That's OK. That's fine.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11- Well, we paid £60 for it. - 60 quid.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14- Very good. - OK, I take back my estimate.

0:38:14 > 0:38:16LAUGHTER

0:38:16 > 0:38:19OK, Charles, hit them with the Murano glass.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21I adore it.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24- And we know what it cost. Do you know why?- I made them an offer.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27Cos Caroline said, "I'll give you £110,"

0:38:27 > 0:38:29and they said, "You must be psychic."

0:38:29 > 0:38:31So I suggest that you paid 110.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34Wow, that psychic stuff really works.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37Go on, Caroline, show them your big one. I mean, a mere slip at £23.

0:38:37 > 0:38:41- Oh, my God.- Wow.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43- It's not going to sell on the basis of age.- No.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45- It's going to sell on the basis of novelty.- Yes.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48And it's going to sell because it's amusing

0:38:48 > 0:38:51and I think you'll get 40 quid for it.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53We'd be happy with that. Yeah.

0:38:53 > 0:38:57Do you know, I'm seeing you for the first time as you really are.

0:38:57 > 0:39:01I was beavering away and, Terry and myself, we came across this.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04- I like it.- Yeah, I quite like it. Let me look.

0:39:04 > 0:39:05I like it too, because >

0:39:05 > 0:39:08it's painted by a wonderful lady called Charlotte Rhead.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11- Charlotte Rhead? Oh, my God! - Charlotte Rhead, yes.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13- Cost us £40.- Double your money.

0:39:13 > 0:39:17Wish you'd spotted that one too, hey?

0:39:17 > 0:39:21Still, Charlie, you've still got the Whitefriars. Well, a bit of it.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24We couldn't afford the decanter but we loved the glasses.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27They're very pretty but it's a shame that you only got two of them.

0:39:27 > 0:39:31- I love them. They wouldn't have been very expensive.- They were 20 quid.

0:39:31 > 0:39:35This wonderful tea set was made in circa 1806. >

0:39:35 > 0:39:39- Do you know what I like about it? - What?- The gilding is superb.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42I like it, I really... and I love the painting generally,

0:39:42 > 0:39:45I think the flowers are beautiful on it.

0:39:45 > 0:39:46What's it worth? ?> Erm...

0:39:46 > 0:39:48- < £78. - Guess again.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50110.

0:39:50 > 0:39:55- We paid... Are you ready for this, Caroline?- Yes.- £100.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58- Great-shaped teapot, Charles. - It might go like a dream.- Yeah.

0:39:58 > 0:40:01You're not convinced, Caroline.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03Now, a traditional antique.

0:40:03 > 0:40:07- That's very good.- That's very good. - I can see the ticket price, 425.

0:40:07 > 0:40:11- Tell me what it cost you.- 175. - Cor!

0:40:11 > 0:40:14- You battered the man into submission. - < I did, I'm afraid.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17In fairness, it's the hardest afternoon's work I've ever done!

0:40:17 > 0:40:19What's it worth?

0:40:19 > 0:40:24Between 250 and 350. Lovely, lovely object.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27No doubt he likes it

0:40:27 > 0:40:32but, Charles, you've got your own "lovely, lovely" at just £30.

0:40:32 > 0:40:36The hinge lid is there for your little inkwell like so.

0:40:36 > 0:40:40- Lovely.- It's without doubt my favourite item of yours. - Is it really?- Without doubt.

0:40:40 > 0:40:44Don't be taken in, boys. Caroline's got a last trick up her sleeve.

0:40:44 > 0:40:47Three freebies and two for £17.

0:40:47 > 0:40:50Bargain jewellery picked up along the way.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53Bridge player's bracelet, which is made of aluminium. It's...

0:40:53 > 0:40:57I hadn't realised you were such a cheapskate until now.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00< Did you not? I'm well known for it.

0:41:00 > 0:41:04- Very nice lot, Caroline, for £17. - 17 whole quid, eh?- Yeah.

0:41:04 > 0:41:07- Do you think we'll make anything on it?- Yes.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09You've got retro here,

0:41:09 > 0:41:13you've got a wonderful '70s forward-thinking brooch there.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16Do you reckon I might get 25 quid out of that?

0:41:16 > 0:41:20- I think that lot will make about £40.- Really?- I love that!

0:41:20 > 0:41:23But the boys are fighting back.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25Ah!

0:41:27 > 0:41:30We've gone to the Orient at last. I knew he would.

0:41:30 > 0:41:33It's a magnificent Chinese vase and the best of its type

0:41:33 > 0:41:38coming from the Far East in probably the late Chien Lung.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40We love it.

0:41:40 > 0:41:45Sir Terry and myself are gambling hard that this might just see a really good yield.

0:41:45 > 0:41:50- What did it cost? 100 quid?- 120.

0:41:50 > 0:41:57Well bought. You've been fantastic because you've really bought such a range of items, haven't you?

0:41:57 > 0:42:00Don't sell yourself short.

0:42:00 > 0:42:04There's not a single brooch in any of your lot, which I think is a mistake.

0:42:04 > 0:42:09Ah! Haven't they been so nice to each other?

0:42:09 > 0:42:11But what do they really think?

0:42:11 > 0:42:15The only lot that's slightly risky is the Chinese vase.

0:42:15 > 0:42:22The whole thing is going to revolve - their Chinese vase and our Sunderland.

0:42:22 > 0:42:26- There's no contest. - It's no-brainer, baby.

0:42:26 > 0:42:32I'm not so sure about the music stand. But as a nice piece of furniture, it's OK.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35It'll be interesting to see what that makes.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38It's an eclectic mix of all sorts.

0:42:38 > 0:42:43If one thing fails, the other will succeed. It's going to be a great ride at the auction.

0:42:49 > 0:42:54Well, let's see. It's auction day and our four road trippers head 41 miles southeast

0:42:54 > 0:42:58to the Chiswick Auctions in London for their final showdown.

0:43:04 > 0:43:08- Do you want a coffee before we start?- Certainly not! - It's my pre-match nerves.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11- It's the calm...- Where's my Caroline?- ..before the storm.

0:43:11 > 0:43:18- Hello! How are you?- Morning!- Are you nervous?- I am a bit, actually.

0:43:18 > 0:43:22I never thought you'd have the nerve to turn up after the kind of purchases you made.

0:43:22 > 0:43:26Chiswick Auctions has been running since 1998.

0:43:26 > 0:43:31Hardly an antique themselves, but still masters in the field.

0:43:31 > 0:43:34Today, wielding the gavel, is Tom Keane.

0:43:34 > 0:43:39I'm really concerned about Terry and Charles' Chinese vase.

0:43:39 > 0:43:44We get loads of Chinese vases here. They don't like buying things with damage on them.

0:43:44 > 0:43:46If they get £40-50, they'll do well.

0:43:46 > 0:43:50I think Caroline and Charlie's been pretty clever today.

0:43:50 > 0:43:54Charlie advised to buy lower-priced lots and some impressive items.

0:43:54 > 0:43:59They've got some things that will definitely get a profit.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02Team Quentin started today's road trip with £400

0:44:02 > 0:44:07and spent just £295 on five auction lots.

0:44:10 > 0:44:16Team Wogan also began with £400 and have spent the whole lot of lolly,

0:44:16 > 0:44:19also on five auction lots.

0:44:21 > 0:44:26As experts and celebrities cosy up on the sofa, all is calm and orderly

0:44:26 > 0:44:30in the auction room, just as it should be, but something tells me

0:44:30 > 0:44:34this is going to be one bumpy ride, so hold onto your seats!

0:44:36 > 0:44:38Ready?

0:44:38 > 0:44:44First lot, Charles and Caroline's late Victorian music stand.

0:44:44 > 0:44:48Quite a nice thing. Is that worth £100 for it? £50 for it?

0:44:48 > 0:44:51Uh-oh! We're barely into the auction

0:44:51 > 0:44:53and Caroline is on her feet.

0:44:53 > 0:44:56- Will this woman stop at nothing to win?- 55.

0:44:56 > 0:44:5958, 60, two, five.

0:44:59 > 0:45:04Eight, 70. Two, five, eight, 85. 85, 90.

0:45:04 > 0:45:0790, 95, 100. And five. 110.

0:45:07 > 0:45:13£105, 100? At £105. 105. 105. Take 110 for it.

0:45:13 > 0:45:17The bid's over there. £105. Take 110. 105, all done.

0:45:17 > 0:45:21- All done, 105.- Thank you very much! It's worth it.

0:45:21 > 0:45:23It's a beautiful thing!

0:45:24 > 0:45:28Oh, hold on. Now, what's she doing? Take it from me.

0:45:28 > 0:45:32Kissing the winning bidder isn't part of the normal auction protocol,

0:45:32 > 0:45:36but then who said this is going to be normal?

0:45:36 > 0:45:38Well done. Great. Thank you.

0:45:40 > 0:45:43Well, fair play. She did squeeze out a juicy profit on that.

0:45:43 > 0:45:48Ready for the two Whitefriars glasses, Caroline?

0:45:48 > 0:45:51£20, here we go. £20? Worth more. £10.

0:45:51 > 0:45:55£10. Someone give me 10? I'm bid at ten, give me 12?

0:45:55 > 0:46:00- Caroline, feel the magic. - They're worth more than that!

0:46:00 > 0:46:03Thank you. 14. 14. 16. 16.

0:46:03 > 0:46:07- 18? At £16. At 18. 16 and we're done.- No!

0:46:07 > 0:46:08Any more for any more?

0:46:08 > 0:46:11I'm going to make a loss on these and I really can't bear it.

0:46:11 > 0:46:13Don't cheapen yourself!

0:46:13 > 0:46:16Here she comes again. Don't be alarmed, viewers.

0:46:16 > 0:46:20- This is definitely not normal auction behaviour.- 24, 26? 28?

0:46:20 > 0:46:24At £26. All done at £26. Going for £26.

0:46:26 > 0:46:29- It's getting a bit shameless now. - You ain't seen nothing yet.

0:46:29 > 0:46:31Oh, I don't like the sound of that.

0:46:31 > 0:46:35Our first couple have cleared the starting gate.

0:46:35 > 0:46:39So, can Terry and Charles get off the blocks with this inkwell?

0:46:39 > 0:46:43Here we go and what's it worth? £50 for it?

0:46:43 > 0:46:46- £30 for it. Come on... - Hang on, where's Sir Terry gone?

0:46:46 > 0:46:50I don't believe it! He's touting the inkwell around now.

0:46:50 > 0:46:5442, 45. At £42. At 42. 45? 48?

0:46:54 > 0:46:58- 48, 50?- I haven't seen any bidding...

0:46:58 > 0:47:01Anyone would think this is a bring-and-buy sale.

0:47:01 > 0:47:03It's an auction, man!

0:47:03 > 0:47:06- At 58.- Rennie Mackintosh!

0:47:06 > 0:47:10- Rennie Mackintosh. - 72, 75, 78.- Mmmm.

0:47:10 > 0:47:12I don't think magic's going to help you here.

0:47:12 > 0:47:17I'm bid 78. 80? 82. 83, if that helps you. 83.

0:47:17 > 0:47:2083, 84. 84, 85.

0:47:20 > 0:47:21I like this man.

0:47:22 > 0:47:26- I'm picking on you.- 85, 86.

0:47:26 > 0:47:2886, 87.

0:47:28 > 0:47:30No, £86. Bid at £86.

0:47:30 > 0:47:33We're done at £86? All done at £86. Going once, 86.

0:47:33 > 0:47:35Done for 86 and gone.

0:47:35 > 0:47:37APPLAUSE

0:47:41 > 0:47:45- 56. Brilliant.- They're sorry for me, that's why.

0:47:45 > 0:47:47Or they just wanted you to sit down!

0:47:47 > 0:47:51But that magnificent profit has put you in the lead, Sir Terry.

0:47:51 > 0:47:56Next, Caroline's brooches and bracelet.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58For Children In Need. Start me...£20 for it.

0:47:58 > 0:48:01I'm going to show you them, because they're lovely.

0:48:01 > 0:48:03I chose all these myself.

0:48:03 > 0:48:07I don't believe it, they're all at it now.

0:48:07 > 0:48:08Where's Terry going?

0:48:08 > 0:48:09The loo(?)

0:48:09 > 0:48:12A nice '50s bracelet and it's got...

0:48:12 > 0:48:14Being shown live in the auction right now.

0:48:14 > 0:48:17- Surely, Charlie will rein her in! - Is she your lady?- She's my lady.

0:48:17 > 0:48:20- I chose well, didn't I? - Maybe not!

0:48:20 > 0:48:23So that's the lot. Thank you very much.

0:48:23 > 0:48:26- I shall see you shortly. - Excuse me, come back here!- Yeah.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28You might as well do the whole lot.

0:48:28 > 0:48:32- Oh, no! I don't want to do that. - Oh! Now, what's going on?

0:48:32 > 0:48:35- Come on, Caroline, you can do it. - She's on the rostrum.

0:48:35 > 0:48:38- What do I say?- You have a bid of 20.- I have a bid of £20 here.

0:48:38 > 0:48:42- Thank you, sir.- 22.- 22.- 25.- 25.

0:48:42 > 0:48:44Aren't you going up higher than that?

0:48:44 > 0:48:47- This is unheard of.- 30.

0:48:47 > 0:48:51- Lady there.- 32. - 35, thank you, madam.

0:48:51 > 0:48:52Do I hear 40 for it?

0:48:52 > 0:48:56- Come to think of it, she's not doing too badly.- 50!

0:48:56 > 0:48:57Bit shrieky.

0:48:57 > 0:49:00£60, sir, thank you. Oh, sorry! Ouch!

0:49:00 > 0:49:03She's the best auctioneer I have seen in my life.

0:49:03 > 0:49:05- 65?- What?

0:49:05 > 0:49:07- £100.- £100!

0:49:07 > 0:49:11Are we all finished it £100? Going, going...

0:49:11 > 0:49:13gone! Thank you very much.

0:49:13 > 0:49:16- HE CHEERS - Thank you very much.

0:49:16 > 0:49:19- Do another, I'll do it again. - I have plenty more coming up.

0:49:19 > 0:49:23£100 for those! Anyone would have thought this is for charity!

0:49:23 > 0:49:26- HE CHUCKLES - Oh, yes, it is!

0:49:26 > 0:49:30Still, that puts Team Quentin straight in the lead.

0:49:31 > 0:49:33I loved it. The power!

0:49:35 > 0:49:38I wonder how Team Wogan will top Caroline's performance.

0:49:38 > 0:49:42- Next up.- This is a Crown Ducal Art Deco pottery plate,

0:49:42 > 0:49:45signed Charlotte Rhead.

0:49:45 > 0:49:46Well, say no more.

0:49:46 > 0:49:51Now Caroline's had a go, Sir Terry's not missing a chance, either

0:49:51 > 0:49:53and he's got Charles doing the legwork.

0:49:53 > 0:49:56- Don't let that...£50. - A bidder at £50.- £50.

0:49:56 > 0:49:59Charles Hanson showing. Don't let that put you off(!)

0:49:59 > 0:50:02LAUGHTER

0:50:02 > 0:50:04Who'll give me 60 for it?

0:50:04 > 0:50:09- £60. We need to do better than that. - 60.- £60?

0:50:09 > 0:50:11- Have we got 65? Is that a 65, sir?- 67.

0:50:11 > 0:50:14- It's a 70.- We like that.

0:50:14 > 0:50:20- My dear fellow, thank you very much. - Offer 72.- Can we go for 72?

0:50:20 > 0:50:2472. 75. £75 to the good gentleman.

0:50:24 > 0:50:27- APPLAUSE - Well done. Well done.

0:50:27 > 0:50:30Handled masterfully, Sir Terry.

0:50:30 > 0:50:34How does that feel to you? On the rostrum, in control?

0:50:34 > 0:50:38I felt a complete eejit standing there.

0:50:38 > 0:50:41Well, not bad for a beginner, but even with that profit,

0:50:41 > 0:50:43Sir Terry is lagging behind.

0:50:43 > 0:50:47Next, the Quentin magnifying glass.

0:50:47 > 0:50:49And Caroline's back on her feet.

0:50:49 > 0:50:53- Here you go...- I'm not coming up, Tom. I think I should show people.

0:50:53 > 0:50:56In case anyone doesn't know how a magnifying glass works!

0:50:56 > 0:50:59She's at it again, but at least the auctioneer is back in control.

0:50:59 > 0:51:02- For now.- Jesus, she's put two stone on!- I beg your pardon?

0:51:02 > 0:51:04- You carry on. - Who wants to bid for this?

0:51:04 > 0:51:07- Come on, start the bidding, please. - What's it worth, £50?

0:51:07 > 0:51:12£50 for it, £20 for it. Bid at £20. 22, 25. 25, 28.

0:51:12 > 0:51:1430, 32, 35.

0:51:14 > 0:51:1838, 40, 42. 42, 45, 45, 48.

0:51:18 > 0:51:2050. Two.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23At £52. 52. 55 a new bidder, thank you.

0:51:23 > 0:51:2555, 58.

0:51:25 > 0:51:2755 are we done at 55? HE BANGS GAVEL

0:51:27 > 0:51:31Looks like Caroline's groundwork has paid off.

0:51:31 > 0:51:34Hmm. Bidder thinks so, too.

0:51:34 > 0:51:37Fantastic.

0:51:37 > 0:51:41- What a woman! - Next, the Spode tea set.

0:51:42 > 0:51:45Can Sir Terry and Charles come back from behind with this one?

0:51:46 > 0:51:50It seems the auction rule book has been well and truly binned.

0:51:50 > 0:51:52So what's the plan, boys?

0:51:52 > 0:51:56Charles, auctioning? You should know better. You're not in charge.

0:51:56 > 0:51:59Though at least he IS a professional.

0:51:59 > 0:52:03Let's go. Start me off. Do I see £50? Come on, let's see £50.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05I'll take 50.

0:52:05 > 0:52:0955, 60, 70, 80, 90, sir. Look at me.

0:52:09 > 0:52:10At £100. 110.

0:52:10 > 0:52:13- Come on, sir.- He's gone mad.

0:52:13 > 0:52:15- He's gone mad.- 45, sir.

0:52:15 > 0:52:19- 105. I've got you, madam. - Thank you, madam.- 110, sir.

0:52:19 > 0:52:21115. 120.

0:52:21 > 0:52:23Look at me.

0:52:23 > 0:52:26"No", he says. Look at me, sir. One more.

0:52:26 > 0:52:29I think it's looking at you that's putting them off!

0:52:29 > 0:52:32LAUGHTER Thanks, mate(!) 125, sir.

0:52:32 > 0:52:36Fair warning, you're all out to a lady who is standing

0:52:36 > 0:52:37and very, very content.

0:52:37 > 0:52:39At £120.

0:52:39 > 0:52:41Going, going,

0:52:41 > 0:52:44going, gone. Thank you very much.

0:52:44 > 0:52:46CHEERING Madam, well done.

0:52:48 > 0:52:51£20 profit. Even with that performance, boys,

0:52:51 > 0:52:52you're still lagging behind.

0:52:52 > 0:52:56- We tried.- Well done.

0:52:56 > 0:53:00- Charles.- That was brilliant. - Magic. Absolute magic. - Thank you very much.

0:53:01 > 0:53:05So, can the Murano glass put you in front?

0:53:05 > 0:53:08- Ladies and gentlemen, this belongs to the opposition.- Oh, no.

0:53:08 > 0:53:09Charlie is having a go now.

0:53:09 > 0:53:12With no enthusiasm whatsoever.

0:53:12 > 0:53:13So, what's happening here?

0:53:13 > 0:53:16- Look at this.- OK, stop.

0:53:16 > 0:53:20So Charlie's swapped teams and is auctioning for the other side.

0:53:20 > 0:53:24Terry's portering his own lot.

0:53:24 > 0:53:26Now, Caroline's bidding, but shouldn't be,

0:53:26 > 0:53:28because she loves the glass.

0:53:28 > 0:53:31Oh, Gawd, back to the auction.

0:53:31 > 0:53:33Hands up who's never been to Murano?

0:53:33 > 0:53:35LAUGHTER

0:53:37 > 0:53:39You're all far too sharp!

0:53:39 > 0:53:42100 my right. 110, somebody. At £100.

0:53:42 > 0:53:44Anybody at 110. I'd even take 105.

0:53:44 > 0:53:49At £100, yes, with you, Caroline, at £100.

0:53:49 > 0:53:52Anybody going 105? Your last chance, ladies and gentlemen, at £100.

0:53:52 > 0:53:54Anybody going at five?

0:53:54 > 0:53:58- 110.- 110!- Oh, Tom! - What's this?!

0:53:58 > 0:54:01Even Tom, the official auctioneer, is joining in.

0:54:01 > 0:54:02- 150.- 150.

0:54:02 > 0:54:04150!

0:54:04 > 0:54:08- Surely that's an end to this auction madness.- Caroline, 150.

0:54:08 > 0:54:10With the boss. All done.

0:54:10 > 0:54:12- A big round of applause. - Thank you, Tom!

0:54:12 > 0:54:15I've never seen anything like it.

0:54:15 > 0:54:20Sold to Tom. I wonder if he'll charge himself commission. Ha-ha!

0:54:20 > 0:54:25Now, the lustreware pot. Caroline's on the rostrum AGAIN.

0:54:25 > 0:54:29Is she after a change of career or what?!

0:54:29 > 0:54:34- What shall I start at, Tom? - You've got a bid already of £170.

0:54:34 > 0:54:36I've got a bid of £170 already.

0:54:36 > 0:54:39- Who'll give me 180? - Who'll give me 180, please?

0:54:39 > 0:54:41- 180.- 180 there.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43- 190, sir?- 190, there you are.

0:54:43 > 0:54:49- 200 there.- 200.- 210.- 210. Offer me 215, please.

0:54:49 > 0:54:53Thank you, sir. No more? Nobody in the room? Thank you very much, sir.

0:54:53 > 0:54:54Going, going...

0:54:54 > 0:54:56gone! Thank you.

0:54:56 > 0:55:01She's done it, putting Team Quentin and Ross well in the lead.

0:55:04 > 0:55:06By my reckoning,

0:55:07 > 0:55:11Sir Terry needs to make £54 profit on this damaged Chinese vase to win.

0:55:11 > 0:55:14Are you worried, Charles?

0:55:14 > 0:55:18If we fail to get the reserve, of course, I shall blame you.

0:55:18 > 0:55:19Here we go. Our last lot!

0:55:19 > 0:55:22Is that worth £100 for it? £50 for it.

0:55:22 > 0:55:25- It's worth much more than that. - £30 for it.

0:55:25 > 0:55:30- This could be a discovery. - 30, 32, 35...? At £32, give me 35.

0:55:30 > 0:55:35- 35, 38? 38, 40. - Come on!

0:55:35 > 0:55:37- Don't beg, Charles. - 40, 42.

0:55:37 > 0:55:41- 42?- Come on, Terry, show it round.- 45, 48.

0:55:41 > 0:55:4350? 55?

0:55:43 > 0:55:47Thankfully, sanity has prevailed and normal auction rules are back on.

0:55:47 > 0:55:51Or nearly. Sir Terry, look! He's trying to buy his own lot!

0:55:51 > 0:55:5470. At £65, give me one more. 70, 75.

0:55:54 > 0:55:59- At £70, have I got 75? £70. £75. - I think it's fantastic.

0:55:59 > 0:56:04- Are we all done at 75? - Any more bids?- 80.

0:56:04 > 0:56:08At £75 bid...80. 80 there, 85?

0:56:08 > 0:56:1085 bid, you want 90 now.

0:56:10 > 0:56:13I wouldn't say we were desperate or anything, but, you know.

0:56:13 > 0:56:16At £85. Give me 90, bid 90.

0:56:16 > 0:56:2395, you're saying no? At £90 bid, at £90. With Sir Terry at £90. 95?

0:56:23 > 0:56:25The man's gone mad!

0:56:25 > 0:56:29- I'll give you 100 for it. - £100, 110?

0:56:29 > 0:56:31LAUGHTER

0:56:31 > 0:56:35Take 110 for it. At £100. Going once at £100.

0:56:35 > 0:56:40- One more, yes, Terry, bid. - Take 120, 130?- Oh, did I go to 130?

0:56:40 > 0:56:41LAUGHTER

0:56:41 > 0:56:45Where are we up to, 120 or 130? You pick.

0:56:45 > 0:56:50- Ah, come on. It's mine! - Twice at 130, last chance at 130.

0:56:50 > 0:56:52Sold to Sir Terry at 130.

0:56:52 > 0:56:54Terry!

0:56:54 > 0:56:56APPLAUSE

0:56:56 > 0:57:00Bought your own lot, Sir Terry? And made a small profit?

0:57:00 > 0:57:04What can I say? Other than it's been...an education.

0:57:04 > 0:57:09Others may buy Ming, or even Chung. But Chin Lung for me...

0:57:09 > 0:57:11THEY LAUGH

0:57:13 > 0:57:17Both teams started today's road trip with a £400 budget.

0:57:18 > 0:57:22But after paying auction costs, our knight of the realm

0:57:22 > 0:57:26and his young sidekick only made £60.02,

0:57:26 > 0:57:31bringing up the rear with just £460.02.

0:57:33 > 0:57:36Caroline and Charlie, however, stormed ahead,

0:57:36 > 0:57:40with a commendable £115.82 profit,

0:57:40 > 0:57:47crossing the finishing line with a winning £515.82.

0:57:47 > 0:57:48Well done, everyone!

0:57:48 > 0:57:54And all the money our celebrities and experts raise will go to Children In Need.

0:57:54 > 0:57:58It's been bliss, it really has. It's been so fantastic!

0:57:58 > 0:58:03- Thank you. It's been a pleasure. - You have been terrific. - Thank you very much.

0:58:03 > 0:58:05- Come with me.- OK.

0:58:05 > 0:58:07Well done.

0:58:09 > 0:58:12Thank you, Dennis. Take me away from all this, will you?

0:58:12 > 0:58:15Sadly, that's the end of our antiques road trip,

0:58:15 > 0:58:18but I think you'll agree, our celebrities did the business

0:58:18 > 0:58:20and have earned their stripes,

0:58:20 > 0:58:24though more for their antiques hunting than their behaviour, maybe.

0:58:24 > 0:58:26- Bye-bye, darling!- All the best.

0:58:26 > 0:58:29- Who are those people?- I don't know.
