1:00:50 > 1:00:57.
1:01:02 > 1:01:06- Some of the nation's favourite celebrities...- Sensational!
1:01:06 > 1:01:08..one antiques expert each...
1:01:08 > 1:01:11- This is Qianlong. - Qianlong? Well done.
1:01:12 > 1:01:15..and one big challenge - who can seek out and buy
1:01:15 > 1:01:18the best antiques at the very best prices...
1:01:19 > 1:01:21I am going to kill him.
1:01:21 > 1:01:25- ..and auction them for a big profit...- 55. Thank you.
1:01:25 > 1:01:26..further down the road.
1:01:26 > 1:01:29Who will spot the good investments?
1:01:30 > 1:01:33Who will listen to advice?
1:01:33 > 1:01:34THEY LAUGH
1:01:34 > 1:01:38And who will be the first to say, "Don't you know who I am?"
1:01:38 > 1:01:41Time to put your mettle to the pedal.
1:01:41 > 1:01:45This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip! Yeah!
1:01:52 > 1:01:56Hello and welcome to our star-studded antiques extravaganza.
1:01:56 > 1:01:58Seat belts on, please!
1:01:58 > 1:02:02Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the exciting new sound of Radio 1.
1:02:02 > 1:02:06We've got Tony Blackburn, the man who first put needle to vinyl
1:02:06 > 1:02:09on Radio 1's inaugural pop show way back in...
1:02:09 > 1:02:12Well, it was a while ago.
1:02:12 > 1:02:15That's Cherry, and she's going to be dancing with Pan's people
1:02:15 > 1:02:17all the way through 1973.
1:02:17 > 1:02:21And this lovely lady is Toyah Wilcox -
1:02:21 > 1:02:23you know, from the '80s.
1:02:23 > 1:02:25She's had more New Romantic hit records
1:02:25 > 1:02:28than I've had old romantic evenings.
1:02:29 > 1:02:31He says that, but I'm going to spank his bottom.
1:02:31 > 1:02:35Hmm! Lovely as they are, these entertainers have no idea
1:02:35 > 1:02:38what they're doing on an antiques road trip all by themselves.
1:02:38 > 1:02:41They'll be driving in this rather splendid 1978 Morgan,
1:02:41 > 1:02:44and we've given them this fine pair of antiques experts,
1:02:44 > 1:02:47auctioneers Charlie Ross and Charles Hanson.
1:02:47 > 1:02:50- Six pounds?- Yes, surely, Ross!
1:02:50 > 1:02:52Oh, Dick Turpin, you are!
1:02:52 > 1:02:54You ought to wear a mask!
1:02:56 > 1:02:58With his hair cut especially for us,
1:02:58 > 1:03:01Charlie Ross is an expert who knows what he's doing -
1:03:01 > 1:03:02well, most of the time.
1:03:02 > 1:03:05He carries on buying and buying,
1:03:05 > 1:03:07and why? Why?
1:03:07 > 1:03:09Why?
1:03:09 > 1:03:12Why? Then there's Charles Hanson,
1:03:12 > 1:03:16with a fine short back and sides, and just a little off the top.
1:03:16 > 1:03:18He's also rather charming.
1:03:18 > 1:03:19- I'm going.- Nice to meet you.
1:03:19 > 1:03:22And I'm...gone.
1:03:23 > 1:03:27Our celebrities have £400 each to get out there and get shopping,
1:03:27 > 1:03:31with the express task of making a profit at a bona-fide auction.
1:03:31 > 1:03:35Can they spot a great item and get an even better deal?
1:03:35 > 1:03:37So, are you into antiques?
1:03:37 > 1:03:39I'm an armchair TV expert,
1:03:39 > 1:03:42in that I watch every programme on telly.
1:03:42 > 1:03:46- How about you?- I'm... I don't know nothing about antiques.
1:03:46 > 1:03:48- I am one now.- Oh, bless you.
1:03:48 > 1:03:52If I can't find anything over the value of £30, I'm selling you.
1:03:53 > 1:03:56Our two new friends are about to become competitors,
1:03:56 > 1:04:00so let's hope the experts are ready to lend a hand.
1:04:00 > 1:04:03Charlie, I really can't wait, and what we must remember is,
1:04:03 > 1:04:06no matter who our wing men or wing ladies are,
1:04:06 > 1:04:10- it's a battle between you and I. - Absolutely!
1:04:10 > 1:04:12That's the spirit, Carlos.
1:04:14 > 1:04:16Tony and Toyah, Charlie and Charles
1:04:16 > 1:04:20will travel a whopping 250 miles down the east of England
1:04:20 > 1:04:22towards the auction in Stansted.
1:04:22 > 1:04:26But our celebrities and experts first need to meet and greet
1:04:26 > 1:04:28in grand old York.
1:04:29 > 1:04:31Look! There they are.
1:04:31 > 1:04:33THEY CHEER
1:04:34 > 1:04:37Let me get you out, madam. Are you Toyah?
1:04:37 > 1:04:39- Yes!- I'm Charlie. - Oh, hello, darling.
1:04:39 > 1:04:41THEY LAUGH I'm in love.
1:04:41 > 1:04:45- I love your car! - Hello, Tony. Nice to see you.
1:04:45 > 1:04:47So, are you an antique collector?
1:04:47 > 1:04:49Furniture, paintings, china...
1:04:49 > 1:04:51And what about you?
1:04:51 > 1:04:53Well, I'm not really a great antique...
1:04:53 > 1:04:56Well, I am a great antique. If I go into a shop,
1:04:56 > 1:04:59- I have to keep moving, or someone will buy me.- Let's go shopping.
1:04:59 > 1:05:02Go on. Off you go shopping.
1:05:02 > 1:05:05- Antiques, furniture... - Toy boy, come here.- Bye, dears.
1:05:05 > 1:05:07- Bye!- Bye!
1:05:07 > 1:05:10It's sad, really, isn't it? They think they're going to win.
1:05:10 > 1:05:13We'll let them knock themselves out, then we'll go in there
1:05:13 > 1:05:17- and buy the right stuff, because I think you are the one.- I think so.
1:05:17 > 1:05:20Now our new partnerships must head off on their first...
1:05:21 > 1:05:23well, not date, exactly.
1:05:23 > 1:05:27I'm a lucky man, Toyah. You and I in York!
1:05:27 > 1:05:29- Are we going to be lucky today? - Yes. I hope so.
1:05:29 > 1:05:32I've got my best three-piece suit on.
1:05:32 > 1:05:35- It's dead on trend. - Thanks very much, Toyah.
1:05:35 > 1:05:38- Mind the cyclist.- Sorry.
1:05:38 > 1:05:41- I think you'd stand a better chance negotiating.- You think so?
1:05:41 > 1:05:43They'll say, "That nice Mr Blackburn!"
1:05:43 > 1:05:47- "We'll let him have it for nothing." - Yeah. I'll plead insanity.
1:05:47 > 1:05:51That'll do it, cos nobody's going to argue with that one.
1:05:51 > 1:05:54Do you have a sort of favourite period?
1:05:54 > 1:05:57- Art Deco, Art Nouveau? - Anything you say!
1:05:57 > 1:05:59THEY LAUGH
1:05:59 > 1:06:03So, there's clearly no beginning to Tony's antiques knowledge.
1:06:03 > 1:06:05How about his celebrity rival?
1:06:05 > 1:06:08We're quite a quirky pair, aren't we?
1:06:08 > 1:06:11I think something quirky, a bit unusual,
1:06:11 > 1:06:14- a bit different. - Also we are interested in Japan
1:06:14 > 1:06:17and China, and there's some really interesting things there.
1:06:17 > 1:06:21Slightly above our price range, but I think we should have a look
1:06:21 > 1:06:23- and take everything...- I agree.
1:06:25 > 1:06:29- I love that cigarette box. - No. Who wants a cigarette box
1:06:29 > 1:06:32- in this day and age? - But don't you think it takes us back
1:06:32 > 1:06:35to a golden age, a jazz age, dimly lit interiors and smoke -
1:06:35 > 1:06:37- How old are you?- Um...
1:06:37 > 1:06:40- You're much younger than me. - 34. 34.- You're 34. OK.
1:06:40 > 1:06:43- I'm 34, yeah. - Charles, you're a baby.
1:06:43 > 1:06:46- That's OK. I shall follow your lead. - We're not buying cigarette boxes
1:06:46 > 1:06:49unless they're solid silver or solid gold.
1:06:49 > 1:06:54Sounds like Toyah has a plan, and one or two ideas!
1:06:54 > 1:06:59Tony might have to learn fast, or seek out further assistance.
1:06:59 > 1:07:02This is really interesting, this little nut there.
1:07:02 > 1:07:0619th century, Black Forest. Don't see too much Black Forest around,
1:07:06 > 1:07:09- and it's an inkwell. - Oh, it's an inkwell? Oh, yeah!
1:07:09 > 1:07:12It would have had a little glass liner inside,
1:07:12 > 1:07:15otherwise the ink would soak through the wood.
1:07:15 > 1:07:18- So would that reduce its value? - Um, it could do,
1:07:18 > 1:07:21but it's still an interesting little piece.
1:07:21 > 1:07:23- How much are you...- That one is 45.
1:07:23 > 1:07:27- 45? Can you do a deal on that one? - Yes, I'm sure we can.
1:07:27 > 1:07:29- You can? - Yes. I think we could do 35 on that.
1:07:29 > 1:07:3235? Yeah, I like that.
1:07:32 > 1:07:34Mr Blackburn! What are you doing on your knees...
1:07:34 > 1:07:36TONY LAUGHS ..with a young lady?
1:07:36 > 1:07:40She's just shown me this, which I think might be quite nice.
1:07:40 > 1:07:42I have to say, I like that.
1:07:42 > 1:07:45Did you spot that, or were you led there by Claire?
1:07:45 > 1:07:49I can't remember. It's for £45, but Claire's very kindly said -
1:07:49 > 1:07:51- She'd do it for a tenner?- 35.
1:07:51 > 1:07:53Oh! THEY LAUGH
1:07:53 > 1:07:56Our celebrities have really got cracking,
1:07:56 > 1:07:59but that £400 won't spend itself.
1:07:59 > 1:08:02Who will be the first to grasp the nettle
1:08:02 > 1:08:05and actually buy something for auction?
1:08:05 > 1:08:09- Oh, I love that. - Chinese, Song Dynasty.
1:08:09 > 1:08:1113th century.
1:08:13 > 1:08:17The Song Dynasty is often referred to as the Chinese Renaissance,
1:08:17 > 1:08:21between 960 and 1279 AD,
1:08:21 > 1:08:23a time of relative peace and great leaps forward
1:08:23 > 1:08:25in technology and design.
1:08:25 > 1:08:30The market for old and ancient Chinese wares is huge right now.
1:08:30 > 1:08:33However, items need to be in tip-top condition
1:08:33 > 1:08:35to make the money.
1:08:35 > 1:08:38The joy of handling, Toyah, antiques,
1:08:38 > 1:08:41is when you imagine where it's been.
1:08:41 > 1:08:43- It's just... - I love the colour of the glaze.
1:08:43 > 1:08:46- It's just beautiful.- Toyah, feel it.
1:08:46 > 1:08:50- Believe it.- I want to own it. - Feel the history, OK?
1:08:50 > 1:08:54- Is it saying to you, "Buy me"? - It is saying to me, "Buy me,"
1:08:54 > 1:08:57and I'd like to have it personally. I absolutely adore it.
1:08:57 > 1:09:00But look at that break! Michael, in your experience,
1:09:00 > 1:09:04would a break like that put a buyer off, with something this old?
1:09:04 > 1:09:07Not necessarily, bearing in mind the age of the item.
1:09:07 > 1:09:11- How much?- It could be yours for 195.
1:09:11 > 1:09:14And your best offer, Michael?
1:09:14 > 1:09:16£175 would be the best.
1:09:16 > 1:09:18150? It's just that crack...
1:09:18 > 1:09:22- That's why it's at the price it is. - It's one hell of a break.
1:09:22 > 1:09:26- I like it a lot.- I love it. - 150 would be our offer. Agreed?
1:09:26 > 1:09:29I'll make the phone call and we'll see what he says.
1:09:29 > 1:09:33Whilst Toyah and Charles wait for the green light
1:09:33 > 1:09:35on this fascinating piece,
1:09:35 > 1:09:39Tony and Charlie have found their own peculiar slice of history.
1:09:39 > 1:09:41Now, I had a look at an object in here.
1:09:41 > 1:09:45It's a bronze plaque. Have a look at that, Tony.
1:09:45 > 1:09:49- Enamelled...- Yeah. - 1936, Olympiade Berlin.
1:09:49 > 1:09:53- It's not a medal. - No, I'm sure it's not a medal.
1:09:53 > 1:09:55But it could have been a plaque given to somebody
1:09:55 > 1:09:57- merely for competing.- Yeah.
1:09:57 > 1:10:00But it's such a high-quality item.
1:10:00 > 1:10:03It can't have been given to everybody. There is a bit of damage.
1:10:03 > 1:10:06If it wasn't damaged, I would think, "Is this a repro?"
1:10:06 > 1:10:09Yes. What does it say? It's all in German, isn't it?
1:10:09 > 1:10:13"Fur Verdienste um die 'nine' Olympiade,
1:10:13 > 1:10:16Berlin, 1936."
1:10:16 > 1:10:20You must have read and heard a lot about the 1936 Olympic Games
1:10:20 > 1:10:23- in Germany...- Yes. - ..which was the great...
1:10:23 > 1:10:27Hitler's great showpiece, and this black man from America came over,
1:10:27 > 1:10:29- Jesse Owens.- Yes, yeah. Jesse Owens.
1:10:29 > 1:10:33Won the 100 metres, the 200 metres, I think the 400 metres,
1:10:33 > 1:10:37and, I think, the relay. And Hitler got so angry about this,
1:10:37 > 1:10:39he got up and stormed out.
1:10:39 > 1:10:44The 1936 Olympics became a public humiliation for Hitler
1:10:44 > 1:10:48on a worldwide stage. Black American athlete Jesse Owens
1:10:48 > 1:10:52broke 11 world records, and won four gold medals.
1:10:52 > 1:10:57Many antique dealers steer clear of trading in Nazi items.
1:10:57 > 1:11:00However, for collectors of sporting memorabilia,
1:11:00 > 1:11:03the Berlin Olympics are a reminder
1:11:03 > 1:11:06that sport can triumph over politics.
1:11:06 > 1:11:09- And how much is this? - Well, they're asking 135.
1:11:09 > 1:11:13Now, I'd love to pay about £75 for it.
1:11:13 > 1:11:15- Right.- Would you try?
1:11:15 > 1:11:18- I can contact him. - Would you try him?
1:11:18 > 1:11:20Reiterate what a nice man Mr Blackburn is,
1:11:20 > 1:11:22- and how little money he's got.- Yes.
1:11:22 > 1:11:26We're not here to twist your arm and for you to lose money, are we?
1:11:26 > 1:11:28- Yes, we are.- Oh. THEY LAUGH
1:11:28 > 1:11:31- Yes, we are.- I like your attitude.
1:11:31 > 1:11:35- You're warming to this, aren't you? - I'll go and give the dealer a call.
1:11:35 > 1:11:37- Thank you very much indeed. - No problem.
1:11:37 > 1:11:40Unfortunately the seller is momentarily unavailable,
1:11:40 > 1:11:44and our Olympic hopefuls must press on with their shopping.
1:11:44 > 1:11:46Now, I've got to leave you my telephone number.
1:11:46 > 1:11:49- Yes.- Charlie Ross...is my name.
1:11:49 > 1:11:53One last-ditch effort - what do you think about that nut?
1:11:53 > 1:11:56- I do like that nut.- I think 35 you offered the nut for, didn't you?
1:11:56 > 1:12:00- We can't get it down a little bit lower than that, can we?- 30?
1:12:00 > 1:12:02- Oh...- Your call.
1:12:02 > 1:12:0825. Let's say 25, and we got a bargain. We got a deal there on 25.
1:12:08 > 1:12:12- Well, seeing as it's you, Tony. - Yeah?- You're such a lovely man.
1:12:12 > 1:12:15Blackburn, my old socks! You've done a deal!
1:12:17 > 1:12:21I think Mr Blackburn might have found his secret weapon - charm.
1:12:21 > 1:12:24Perhaps this lovable-senior appeal
1:12:24 > 1:12:28can compensate for his fairly worrying lack of antiques knowledge.
1:12:28 > 1:12:30Now, where are we?
1:12:30 > 1:12:34About £150 on the Chinese vase, wasn't it?
1:12:34 > 1:12:38I wonder if this was an equivalent of a tourist piece from Blackpool?
1:12:38 > 1:12:42I almost wonder, you know, if it was made for burial.
1:12:42 > 1:12:44- SHE GASPS - If it's something quite ceremonial.
1:12:44 > 1:12:48- Hello. I have some very good news. - Very, very good news?
1:12:48 > 1:12:51- It's even cheaper? - He's accepted £150.
1:12:51 > 1:12:54Fantastic. I think that's great. How shall we pay?
1:12:54 > 1:12:57- What do you mean? - Shall we pay in 20s or tens?
1:12:57 > 1:12:59- Oh, 20s, fusspot. - OK, 20s. There you go.
1:12:59 > 1:13:01Sorry. Many thanks.
1:13:01 > 1:13:03That's a great start for Toyah and Charles.
1:13:03 > 1:13:06I think the signs are good for the road ahead.
1:13:07 > 1:13:09When is the world going to end?
1:13:09 > 1:13:13Soon? That could be any time, though.
1:13:13 > 1:13:16PHONE RINGING May I help you? Hello.
1:13:16 > 1:13:17It is Charlie. Yeah.
1:13:17 > 1:13:20What are you, my dear?
1:13:20 > 1:13:22You are a legend!
1:13:22 > 1:13:25We'll head on back and we'll give you 75 quid.
1:13:25 > 1:13:27- Got it?- What a legend!- Fantastic!
1:13:27 > 1:13:30Blackburn, you and I are cooking on gas.
1:13:30 > 1:13:34While Tony tries to remember what they've just bought,
1:13:34 > 1:13:37Charlie is delighted to get the Olympic plaque
1:13:37 > 1:13:39for their asking price of just £75.
1:13:39 > 1:13:43Meanwhile, in a cheeky break from their shopping,
1:13:43 > 1:13:46our New Romantics are about to go all Gothic.
1:13:47 > 1:13:50- This is York Minster, by the way. - I know it's York Minster!
1:13:50 > 1:13:52- Sorry.- Oh, hello!
1:13:52 > 1:13:54- Hello!- I'm Toyah.
1:13:54 > 1:13:58I'm John. Welcome to York Minster. I'm a carilloneur.
1:13:58 > 1:14:01I play bells, but not the sort where you swing on the ropes.
1:14:01 > 1:14:03Glad to hear it!
1:14:03 > 1:14:07York Minster is a magnificent Gothic edifice,
1:14:07 > 1:14:10on the same site as the first wooden structure
1:14:10 > 1:14:13hurriedly built here in 627 AD
1:14:13 > 1:14:16to baptise Edwin, King of Northumbria.
1:14:16 > 1:14:19Since then it's been built, destroyed, rebuilt,
1:14:19 > 1:14:22damaged and repaired more times
1:14:22 > 1:14:24than Charles Hanson's had light suppers.
1:14:24 > 1:14:29The current structure, largely intact since the mid-13th century.
1:14:30 > 1:14:33Wow! It's great.
1:14:33 > 1:14:35Wow!
1:14:35 > 1:14:37And here we are in the south transept,
1:14:37 > 1:14:40which is the oldest part of the present building.
1:14:40 > 1:14:44- Dates from 1220. - 30 years before our Chinese vase.
1:14:44 > 1:14:46- Oh! That's incredible. - History, isn't it?
1:14:46 > 1:14:50And this is now the largest Gothic cathedral north of the Alps.
1:14:50 > 1:14:53It has the largest amount of medieval stained glass
1:14:53 > 1:14:56- anywhere in this country... - Still existing.
1:14:56 > 1:14:58..possibly in the world.
1:14:58 > 1:15:02In 2008, a huge restoration project began,
1:15:02 > 1:15:06to remove every single piece of stained glass,
1:15:06 > 1:15:09repaint, re-set and re-lay it - no mean feat,
1:15:09 > 1:15:13when there's two million individual pieces around the building.
1:15:13 > 1:15:15This is our famous bell window.
1:15:15 > 1:15:19It was made round about the year 1330,
1:15:19 > 1:15:22and it was given by a man called Richard Tunnock,
1:15:22 > 1:15:24who lived just across the road in Stonegate,
1:15:24 > 1:15:26and he was a York bell-founder.
1:15:26 > 1:15:30This stunning medieval window graphically depicts
1:15:30 > 1:15:33the craft of casting a church bell from a wax mould.
1:15:33 > 1:15:38The bells for York Minster were made by local bell-founder Richard Tunnock,
1:15:38 > 1:15:40who died in 1330.
1:15:40 > 1:15:42In the central panel,
1:15:42 > 1:15:45we have Richard Tunnock himself,
1:15:45 > 1:15:49and above his hands is actually a picture of this window,
1:15:49 > 1:15:53which he's presenting to St William of York.
1:15:53 > 1:15:59Absolutely stunning! A great, uplifting work of human achievement.
1:15:59 > 1:16:02Now, can our antiques shoppers reach their own summit?
1:16:02 > 1:16:05- We can have a break on the way up. - OK.
1:16:05 > 1:16:07- I must admit, I usually do. - When you say break,
1:16:07 > 1:16:10- do you mean a cup of tea and a piece of cake?- Yeah.
1:16:10 > 1:16:12Yeah, OK.
1:16:13 > 1:16:16Ooh, it's beautiful! It's light and sunny!
1:16:16 > 1:16:19- Isn't it wonderful? - If we touch one of these,
1:16:19 > 1:16:22- we'll shoot through the roof. - I'd prefer it if you didn't.
1:16:22 > 1:16:24How hard do you pull? Really hard?
1:16:24 > 1:16:28Hanson, that goes for you too! Behave yourself.
1:16:28 > 1:16:32These bells are the fourth-heaviest peal of bells in the country,
1:16:32 > 1:16:35so if you pull one of those,
1:16:35 > 1:16:38the rope will go up through that little hole,
1:16:38 > 1:16:40but you won't.
1:16:40 > 1:16:43- We're here to see the carillon, which is...- Carillon?
1:16:43 > 1:16:46Carillon, yeah. It's a French word which just means bells.
1:16:46 > 1:16:48According to the English dictionary,
1:16:48 > 1:16:51a carillon is a stationary set
1:16:51 > 1:16:54of chromatically tuned bells in a tower.
1:16:54 > 1:16:57York Minster's carillon is separate
1:16:57 > 1:17:01to the pulled church bells, and is the only one of its kind
1:17:01 > 1:17:04in England. John has the very privileged position
1:17:04 > 1:17:06as its keyboardist, or carilloneur.
1:17:06 > 1:17:09BELLS CHIME MELODICALLY
1:17:10 > 1:17:14- And we play it that way. - And can the whole of York hear that?
1:17:14 > 1:17:16Yes. It's a very public instrument.
1:17:16 > 1:17:19- I know a tune. - You do?- Yeah. Excuse me.
1:17:19 > 1:17:21HE PLAYS "CHOPSTICKS"
1:17:26 > 1:17:29"CHOPSTICKS" RESOUNDING, OFF-KEY
1:17:29 > 1:17:31- Like that, yeah? - Something like that.
1:17:31 > 1:17:36Half of York now think that the monks have been on the fortified wine.
1:17:36 > 1:17:38THEY LAUGH
1:17:38 > 1:17:41Where are the bells for this? Are they upstairs here?
1:17:41 > 1:17:44Yeah. The bells are two floors above this ringing chamber.
1:17:44 > 1:17:47Why don't you play, and I'll go upstairs and listen.
1:17:47 > 1:17:50That would be great. OK, thanks.
1:17:53 > 1:17:56The bells aren't that big, really.
1:17:56 > 1:18:00Er, Charles, did you see the, er... Never mind.
1:18:03 > 1:18:06BELLS RING LOUDLY
1:18:16 > 1:18:19BELLS RESOUND
1:18:20 > 1:18:22HE LAUGHS
1:18:22 > 1:18:25That is absolutely brilliant.
1:18:28 > 1:18:30- Was it loud?- What you saying?
1:18:30 > 1:18:32THEY LAUGH Was it loud?
1:18:32 > 1:18:35Yes, it was very, very loud. My ears are ringing.
1:18:35 > 1:18:39Oh, I've been so mean to you!
1:18:39 > 1:18:41You just can't take him anywhere.
1:18:41 > 1:18:45As York's wonderful treasures fall on deaf ears,
1:18:45 > 1:18:50the bell tolls for our other celebrity-auctioneer combo,
1:18:50 > 1:18:53still keeping it real on this prestigious shopping trip.
1:18:53 > 1:18:56Good grief! They've got some odd things in here.
1:18:56 > 1:18:59What's that? Tony, I think the best thing
1:18:59 > 1:19:01is to do what we did before. You have a look, I'll look,
1:19:01 > 1:19:05because I trust your eye now. You've got a good eye. And what is more,
1:19:05 > 1:19:09I trust your powers of bargaining. They're much better than mine.
1:19:09 > 1:19:11- Just spotted two fans.- Oh, dear!
1:19:11 > 1:19:15More than you've had all your life. THEY LAUGH
1:19:15 > 1:19:19- TIM SIGHS - Luckily, this day's nearly over.
1:19:19 > 1:19:20Just let's get on with it, shall we?
1:19:20 > 1:19:24That weather vane... Can you see? With the horse attached to it?
1:19:24 > 1:19:28It's got a bit of age. I don't think it's Victorian,
1:19:28 > 1:19:31but I think it's probably 1920s, 1930s.
1:19:31 > 1:19:34- I think that's got a bit of... - They've got big bottoms, haven't they?
1:19:34 > 1:19:36- What, horses?- Horses, yeah. - THEY LAUGH
1:19:36 > 1:19:41Phil, could you hold this ladder? I'm going to go up and look at the price.
1:19:41 > 1:19:44For God's sake make sure it doesn't come away from the wall.
1:19:46 > 1:19:49I've done some silly things to find a price in my time,
1:19:49 > 1:19:51but... 90 quid.
1:19:51 > 1:19:54I tell you what, I'd pay 40 quid for it.
1:19:54 > 1:19:56That is the sort of thing that sells, is it?
1:19:56 > 1:20:00In my experience, a reasonable weather vane will sell.
1:20:00 > 1:20:03- OK. - I'll hide. If you get the deal, Tone,
1:20:03 > 1:20:06I'll buy you a drink tonight.
1:20:06 > 1:20:08- 30 quid?- Yeah.- All right.
1:20:08 > 1:20:10- How about 40? He'll go to 40. - Now, Tony, don't start.
1:20:10 > 1:20:13- All right. 30 quid, all right. - Ram home that 30.
1:20:13 > 1:20:17- Sorry. I forgot to hold the ladder. - I can't get down.
1:20:17 > 1:20:20Mr Blackburn has clearly impressed Charlie
1:20:20 > 1:20:22with his powers of persuasion.
1:20:22 > 1:20:26Could this be Tony's moment to go it alone
1:20:26 > 1:20:29with a cold, hard haggle?
1:20:29 > 1:20:32This weather vane up here... £30. How does that sound to you?
1:20:32 > 1:20:36- It's been up there a little while. - It has.- It's got cobwebs on it.
1:20:36 > 1:20:39- What has it got on it? - Want me to tell you? 90.
1:20:40 > 1:20:4490. But you're such a lovely guy. Could you do it for 30 quid?
1:20:44 > 1:20:47- Yes, go on. I'll do it at £30. - Really? Fantastic.
1:20:47 > 1:20:50- Charlie?- Yeah?
1:20:50 > 1:20:53- You know that weather vane there? - Yeah, yeah.
1:20:53 > 1:20:55I got it for £200.
1:20:55 > 1:20:59Don't be stupid. That's more than the ticket price!
1:20:59 > 1:21:02- You said 30.- I said try them at 30. - I managed to get it for 30.
1:21:02 > 1:21:06Tony, if only I'd said 20!
1:21:06 > 1:21:09Charlie Ross now has a new policy.
1:21:09 > 1:21:11If in doubt, unleash Blackburn!
1:21:11 > 1:21:14Blackburn, we're cooking on gas here.
1:21:14 > 1:21:17We've just been horsing around, haven't we?
1:21:17 > 1:21:18Oh, no!
1:21:18 > 1:21:22- "Neigh", that's not too cheap. - OK, that's enough of that. Let's go.
1:21:25 > 1:21:28What a day it's been! Between plucky celebrities
1:21:28 > 1:21:33and responsible antiques experts, we've all run this town ragged.
1:21:33 > 1:21:36Shopping time is done, so York must provide warm bedding
1:21:36 > 1:21:39and clean towels for our weary gang of four.
1:21:39 > 1:21:41Bonne nuit!
1:21:44 > 1:21:48As the new day dawns, our celebrities and experts
1:21:48 > 1:21:51are still more than enamoured with the delights of York.
1:21:51 > 1:21:55This could be quite useful. Look. If it starts raining...
1:21:55 > 1:21:57THEY LAUGH
1:21:58 > 1:22:01So far, Tony and Charlie have spent £130
1:22:01 > 1:22:05on three auction lots - the Black Forest carved inkwell,
1:22:05 > 1:22:08the Olympic Games plaque, and the equestrian weather vane.
1:22:08 > 1:22:14Team Blackburn-Ross has £270 for the day ahead,
1:22:14 > 1:22:16and still plenty of life in those old dogs!
1:22:18 > 1:22:20OK, Mr Blackburn! I'll take you to heaven.
1:22:20 > 1:22:22- And back.- And back.
1:22:22 > 1:22:24Long as we come back.
1:22:24 > 1:22:26Toyah and Charles, meanwhile,
1:22:26 > 1:22:29took the first day's shopping easy,
1:22:29 > 1:22:32spending a cool £150
1:22:32 > 1:22:36on just one lot - the Chinese burial jar or vase.
1:22:36 > 1:22:39Team Wilcox-Hanson still has £250 left
1:22:39 > 1:22:42- to show us they mean business.- 60...
1:22:44 > 1:22:48So, our celebrities are finding that actual antiques buying
1:22:48 > 1:22:50is often harder than it looks.
1:22:50 > 1:22:54However, one man has lived through real tumultuous times
1:22:54 > 1:22:57and made them his own, from pirate-ship broadcasting
1:22:57 > 1:23:00to purveyor of pop on Radio 1.
1:23:00 > 1:23:04I read an advertisement in the New Musical Express
1:23:04 > 1:23:06wanting disc jockeys for Radio Caroline,
1:23:06 > 1:23:09- and I'd seen a programme - - Which was the ship.- Yeah.
1:23:09 > 1:23:12- Out on the North Sea. - And considered illegal at the time?
1:23:12 > 1:23:15Yeah, it was. We flew under the Panamanian flag,
1:23:15 > 1:23:18so if anybody came on board, you were, in effect,
1:23:18 > 1:23:22- declaring war on Panama.- Oh, really? THEY LAUGH
1:23:22 > 1:23:25Ah, the glory days!
1:23:25 > 1:23:28Our pair of old groovers are taking a break from shopping
1:23:28 > 1:23:32to visit an exhibition down at York Castle Museum,
1:23:32 > 1:23:35all about a much-loved decade.
1:23:35 > 1:23:37SONG: "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by Procul Harum
1:23:37 > 1:23:41- Did you have a scooter? - Yes, I had a Lambretta.
1:23:41 > 1:23:44- Oh, gee.- Do you remember that?
1:23:44 > 1:23:47I was about 17, and I was so in love with Marianne Faithfull.
1:23:47 > 1:23:50- Have you ever met her? - Er, I have, yes.
1:23:50 > 1:23:52Oh, you rotter! THEY LAUGH
1:23:52 > 1:23:55It was Top Of The Pops. I met everybody at Top Of The Pops.
1:23:55 > 1:23:57She was female, and had just come out of a convent.
1:23:57 > 1:24:00I mean, it all got very exciting for me.
1:24:00 > 1:24:02Did you have drainpipe trousers?
1:24:02 > 1:24:05- Yeah.- Long hair? You've still got most of yours.
1:24:05 > 1:24:08- It's quite impressive.- I had a terrific crush on Petula Clark.
1:24:08 > 1:24:12- Never went out with her? - No.- You're just saying that.
1:24:13 > 1:24:18No other decade in living memory garners such passionate nostalgia
1:24:18 > 1:24:22as the 1960s, especially for the younger old duffers.
1:24:22 > 1:24:26It was a decade that witnessed great accelerations in design,
1:24:26 > 1:24:29technology, liberty, social mobility
1:24:29 > 1:24:32and just plain old freedom, man.
1:24:32 > 1:24:36What have we got here? I don't think it's the actual capsule.
1:24:36 > 1:24:39- No.- At the end of the '60s, man landed on the moon.
1:24:39 > 1:24:41- Yeah.- Neil Armstrong,
1:24:41 > 1:24:45- "one small step for man". - Mankind, or something like that.
1:24:45 > 1:24:47One large... Oh, I can't remember the words!
1:24:47 > 1:24:50- It was amazing, wasn't it? - Well, it was a long time ago,
1:24:50 > 1:24:56but I believe Mr Armstrong mentioned a great leap for mankind.
1:24:56 > 1:25:00NASA's moon landing was arguably the most unforgettable moment
1:25:00 > 1:25:04from the 1960s, for those who remember it.
1:25:04 > 1:25:08I wonder what the first record was that you played the next morning.
1:25:08 > 1:25:10Because everybody was talking about it.
1:25:10 > 1:25:13Everybody was talking about the moment.
1:25:13 > 1:25:15Well, I'll tell you. I can't remember.
1:25:15 > 1:25:17THEY LAUGH
1:25:17 > 1:25:20In fact, Tony, you weren't working that morning.
1:25:20 > 1:25:25Radio 1 and 2 played a moon-landing special of news and updates.
1:25:25 > 1:25:29Still, you know what they say - if you can remember the '60s,
1:25:29 > 1:25:31then, you weren't really there.
1:25:31 > 1:25:34- What did you like playing most of all?- Old Motown.
1:25:34 > 1:25:37When I went to Radio 1, I would make sure we had Motown,
1:25:37 > 1:25:39Diana Ross & The Supremes, black soul music.
1:25:39 > 1:25:42It doesn't sound dated. It had that unique sound. I loved it.
1:25:42 > 1:25:46I've always been an awful dancer. The only thing I can dance to
1:25:46 > 1:25:48is the twist. Do you remember the twist?
1:25:48 > 1:25:51You're not going to do the twist for me, Mr Blackburn.
1:25:51 > 1:25:54- I'm hoping you'll dance with me. - THEY LAUGH
1:25:54 > 1:25:58MUSIC: "Let's Twist Again" by Chuck Berry
1:25:58 > 1:26:00# Clap your hands, we're going to do the twist...
1:26:00 > 1:26:02# And it goes like this
1:26:02 > 1:26:05- # Come on, let's twist again... - Hang on.
1:26:05 > 1:26:08# Like we did last summer
1:26:08 > 1:26:10- # Yeah - # Let's twist again
1:26:10 > 1:26:13# Like we did last year
1:26:13 > 1:26:16# Do you remember when
1:26:16 > 1:26:19# We did the twist last summer...
1:26:19 > 1:26:21You're a better mover than I am, Blackburn.
1:26:21 > 1:26:24Are you getting slightly embarrassed by this?
1:26:24 > 1:26:26# Oh, round and round and round #
1:26:26 > 1:26:29Thank goodness this is a private viewing!
1:26:29 > 1:26:34Still, if you're looking for icons from an iconic decade,
1:26:34 > 1:26:37you don't need to look too far.
1:26:37 > 1:26:39HE LAUGHS
1:26:40 > 1:26:42THEY LAUGH
1:26:42 > 1:26:45I don't believe it. Have you had that made up for the occasion?
1:26:45 > 1:26:48- Certainly not. This actually... - Are you being serious?
1:26:48 > 1:26:51This is the cornerstone of this museum.
1:26:51 > 1:26:55- Who is that? - Well, it's me with Johnny Beerling.
1:26:55 > 1:26:57- He was my first producer on Radio 1. - How...
1:26:57 > 1:27:02And he eventually became the controller of Radio 1,
1:27:02 > 1:27:05- and didn't renew my contract. - THEY LAUGH
1:27:06 > 1:27:10- Sensational!- Sensational! - Doesn't that make you feel proud?
1:27:10 > 1:27:12- It does. It does. - It jolly well should do.
1:27:12 > 1:27:15- You are part of the '60s.- Good Lord! - I think that's phenomenal.
1:27:15 > 1:27:17Come on!
1:27:17 > 1:27:21Charlie Ross, you fortunate fellow! Who else would get to stroll
1:27:21 > 1:27:25through an iconic era with one of its leading lights?
1:27:25 > 1:27:29However, it's about time we got this road trip back on the road.
1:27:29 > 1:27:33Our celebrities have sought out a bit of me-time,
1:27:33 > 1:27:37and, to be perfectly honest, I think everyone fancies a bit of a goss.
1:27:39 > 1:27:41Charlie made me deal with the negotiations,
1:27:41 > 1:27:44and I managed to knock down the price considerably.
1:27:44 > 1:27:49Who's going to argue with a national institution, Tony Blackburn?
1:27:49 > 1:27:52I mean, anyone that argues with you is a criminal.
1:27:52 > 1:27:55The lady in front I'm following now is up my...
1:27:55 > 1:27:58up my... What's the phrase? Up my...
1:27:58 > 1:28:03Street? Anyhow, York is finally departed,
1:28:03 > 1:28:08and our combative duos are heading on, 28 miles northeast
1:28:08 > 1:28:10to glittering Pickering.
1:28:10 > 1:28:14Pickering is properly, properly old,
1:28:14 > 1:28:17first founded in 207 BC.
1:28:17 > 1:28:19Any more for this train, please?
1:28:19 > 1:28:22Some time later, in 1832,
1:28:22 > 1:28:25that great man of railways, George Stephenson,
1:28:25 > 1:28:30received his desired £130,000 to build a rail link
1:28:30 > 1:28:33between Pickering and Whitby. This wonderful steam-driven line
1:28:33 > 1:28:36is still operated by enthusiasts today.
1:28:39 > 1:28:42- Oh!- It's great. Pickering Castle, parish church...
1:28:42 > 1:28:45- Oh, this is beautiful. - Team Wilcox-Hanson
1:28:45 > 1:28:47have still got a lot of money to burn,
1:28:47 > 1:28:50and a fairly empty swag bag for auction.
1:28:50 > 1:28:52Time to get a wriggle on!
1:28:52 > 1:28:55What's our plan today? We've bought one item.
1:28:55 > 1:28:58We've got one expensive, speculative item.
1:28:58 > 1:29:02- Yes.- We now have to find something that we know is rock-solid.
1:29:02 > 1:29:06Indeed. Those auction profits won't make themselves.
1:29:06 > 1:29:09So let's see what fine items are waiting for you
1:29:09 > 1:29:11at Pickering's JSC Collectables.
1:29:13 > 1:29:15So, Toyah, this is a marrow scoop here.
1:29:15 > 1:29:19It was a fine delicacy in the 17th century, 18th century,
1:29:19 > 1:29:22- to take bone marrow out of... - Oh, bone marrow!
1:29:22 > 1:29:25Yes, that's it. You would scoop it out.
1:29:25 > 1:29:28This is a later one. The later ones had a spoon on one end
1:29:28 > 1:29:30which you could eat it from, and a thin end like that.
1:29:30 > 1:29:34- Does it have a practical use today? - I think it takes us back
1:29:34 > 1:29:38to the delicacies that our ancestors used to enjoy taking.
1:29:38 > 1:29:42Whilst Charles dodges Toyah's question,
1:29:42 > 1:29:46the practical use would have been to scoop out marrow
1:29:46 > 1:29:51from large cattle bones - a particular fine food of yesteryear.
1:29:51 > 1:29:56But today it may potentially offer a profit at auction.
1:29:56 > 1:29:59- Do you eat marrow? - No!- Ever tried it?
1:29:59 > 1:30:01- I'm sure I have.- I'm sure you have.
1:30:01 > 1:30:05But I'd find it a bit too gruesome to have an instrument to eat it with.
1:30:05 > 1:30:08At £220, it might be a bit risky.
1:30:08 > 1:30:12Perhaps there's a less gruesome investment opportunity elsewhere.
1:30:12 > 1:30:15But would this be the right team to find it?
1:30:15 > 1:30:17I think Charles is excellent.
1:30:17 > 1:30:20I have to keep an eye on his quirky choices.
1:30:20 > 1:30:24I think he's not as competitive as me,
1:30:24 > 1:30:28and he thinks quirkiness is always going to be a winning gamble.
1:30:28 > 1:30:30But I think I've got the best partner.
1:30:30 > 1:30:33I'm so chuffed to be with him!
1:30:33 > 1:30:35Toyah's knowledge is fantastic,
1:30:35 > 1:30:37and she's so driven to find a bargain.
1:30:37 > 1:30:41She's great. I'm so pleased it's Hanson and Toyah together.
1:30:41 > 1:30:46Great! But can our antiques contenders deliver a knockout punch?
1:30:46 > 1:30:50- We like your boxer dog. - Let's see if it's a limited edition.
1:30:50 > 1:30:52"It's A Knockout".
1:30:52 > 1:30:55I did the royal It's A Knockout. I helped organise it, for my sins.
1:30:58 > 1:31:01Yes. Difficult to know what to say, isn't it?
1:31:01 > 1:31:04Possibly, to the untrained eye, this boxing boxer
1:31:04 > 1:31:08might look - well, a bit undesirable for £28.
1:31:08 > 1:31:11However, these Beswick collectable figures
1:31:11 > 1:31:14can be very collectable and profitable.
1:31:16 > 1:31:19Made in around 1999, so he's not overly old,
1:31:19 > 1:31:22but he's a good ten-year-old man, isn't he? I quite like him.
1:31:22 > 1:31:25- You think he's sellable? - Very saleable.
1:31:25 > 1:31:28- You want to buy him for about £20, in my opinion.- Do it for 22.
1:31:28 > 1:31:32All is fair in love and war, OK? Will you take £20 for it?
1:31:34 > 1:31:37- Go on, then.- Yes! - Fantastic. Oh, thanks, Caroline.
1:31:37 > 1:31:40How can we fail with that?
1:31:40 > 1:31:42Well done, Team Toyah.
1:31:42 > 1:31:46However, I'd have gone with the silver marrow scoop, personally.
1:31:46 > 1:31:50- And speaking of old bones... - Look at this Sooty!
1:31:50 > 1:31:52- Oh, don't do that! - THEY LAUGH
1:31:52 > 1:31:55- Here's Sweep. - A Sweep? Oh, I don't believe it!
1:31:55 > 1:31:59- Sooty and Sweep. - Sooty! Oh!- Bye-bye, everybody.
1:31:59 > 1:32:02- Bye-bye!- Oh, don't do that.
1:32:02 > 1:32:04Sooty, don't do that!
1:32:04 > 1:32:08Come on, muppets! Time to get on with some serious work!
1:32:09 > 1:32:12- Do you know what this is? - Just a spoon.
1:32:12 > 1:32:14- Yes.- Isn't it?- But what for?
1:32:14 > 1:32:17- Yeah. No, you're going well. - Um...- It's a caddy spoon.
1:32:17 > 1:32:19- You've heard of a tea caddy.- Yeah.
1:32:19 > 1:32:23A shell shape, which is very nice. Now, I suspect this is Georgian.
1:32:23 > 1:32:25This is going to be an 18th-century spoon.
1:32:25 > 1:32:28Isn't it amazing, when you handle something like this,
1:32:28 > 1:32:31- you think, 17...- '88, yeah.
1:32:31 > 1:32:34- How many people have used that? - Yeah. Yeah.
1:32:34 > 1:32:37The history behind that. How many people have...
1:32:37 > 1:32:39- Amazing.- It's incredible, isn't it?
1:32:39 > 1:32:43Tony's got it. Provenance is one of the many joys of antiques.
1:32:43 > 1:32:45Another one is negotiation.
1:32:45 > 1:32:49What can you do on £110?
1:32:49 > 1:32:52What would you say about £35?
1:32:52 > 1:32:54- SHE LAUGHS - 35? No.
1:32:54 > 1:32:58If you can go up a little bit more, we'll see what we can come to.
1:32:58 > 1:33:00- 40 would be...- 40...
1:33:00 > 1:33:04I'd be happy to buy it for 40. Mr Blackburn, you're not wildly happy.
1:33:04 > 1:33:07- We'll do it for 40.- Will you really?
1:33:07 > 1:33:09- Janet, are you seriously happy with that?- That's fine.
1:33:09 > 1:33:11- Thank you.- You're welcome.
1:33:11 > 1:33:13And you get a kiss from Tony Blackburn!
1:33:13 > 1:33:17- Oh, there you go! - That is worth...20 quid in itself.
1:33:17 > 1:33:21If she knew that was going to happen, it would have gone up to 50.
1:33:21 > 1:33:23- Bye!- Thank you very much.
1:33:23 > 1:33:25What a lovely lady, wasn't she?
1:33:25 > 1:33:28Wasn't she? You have a way with the women.
1:33:28 > 1:33:31Tony Blackburn certainly knows how to haggle,
1:33:31 > 1:33:35and turn on the charm. However, it's competitive Toyah
1:33:35 > 1:33:38who has the drive, and a bit of an eye for antiques.
1:33:39 > 1:33:42What do you think of this pepper shaker?
1:33:42 > 1:33:45Really nice. That's Birmingham, 1901.
1:33:45 > 1:33:49What I love about it is the delightful Dutch scene
1:33:49 > 1:33:52of figures, maybe at some sort of fete. Lovely.
1:33:52 > 1:33:54- Fete?- Don't you go to fetes?
1:33:54 > 1:33:57- This is springtime fertility.- Is it?
1:33:57 > 1:34:01This is the coming of summer, the bringing of children into the world.
1:34:01 > 1:34:04- I thought it was a fete. - Fete?- That's very nice.
1:34:04 > 1:34:08- 165. What do you think?- What do you think we can bring it down to?
1:34:09 > 1:34:12- Can I help?- Yeah. We just quite like the dredger,
1:34:12 > 1:34:14very, very much.
1:34:14 > 1:34:17Um... I'll do that for 125 for you.
1:34:17 > 1:34:19And between friends?
1:34:19 > 1:34:21I thought we were.
1:34:21 > 1:34:23THEY LAUGH
1:34:23 > 1:34:26Toyah, is it heavy? Has it got some weight to it?
1:34:26 > 1:34:29- It's delicate. It feels beautiful. - Yes.
1:34:29 > 1:34:32- Is it quite light?- That's gorgeous. - It is. Absolute very best?
1:34:32 > 1:34:36Bearing in mind it'll be heavier when you get the pepper in, 125.
1:34:36 > 1:34:39125. Thanks, mate. Thanks, mate. Thanks for coming.
1:34:39 > 1:34:43- But does it come with the pepper? - Well, it can do, for that price.
1:34:43 > 1:34:45Well done.
1:34:45 > 1:34:48Well, you pair certainly "condiment" each other.
1:34:48 > 1:34:50Sorry. I'll leave the jokes to Blackburn.
1:34:50 > 1:34:53But I think we're heading in the right direction
1:34:53 > 1:34:56with a nice bit of silver. Anything else?
1:34:56 > 1:34:59They're modern, but they're a full set.
1:34:59 > 1:35:02- What are they, napkin rings? - They're napkin rings.
1:35:02 > 1:35:05I think they're very stylish, and if it's not silver,
1:35:05 > 1:35:07if it's not pedigree, if it's not provenance,
1:35:07 > 1:35:12another really important factor is novelty and style.
1:35:12 > 1:35:16I think they're something which are worth speculating with.
1:35:16 > 1:35:18- I really do. They're nice.- Dan?
1:35:18 > 1:35:21- Yeah? - Can I ask you something?- You can.
1:35:21 > 1:35:25- What period do you think these are? - I don't think there's massive age
1:35:25 > 1:35:29to those, to be honest with you. But they're really nice quality,
1:35:29 > 1:35:31- and they're just fun. - What's the best you could offer?
1:35:31 > 1:35:35- What have we got on there? - 45.- How about a straight 30 quid?
1:35:35 > 1:35:38And between friends, between a very stylish lady...
1:35:38 > 1:35:40- 25?- We are indeed between...
1:35:40 > 1:35:44- THEY LAUGH - Er, go on. I'll do 25 quid,
1:35:44 > 1:35:46- and make sure you get a profit. - What do you think?
1:35:46 > 1:35:50- That's good.- That's really good. - You can't lose on that.
1:35:50 > 1:35:53They're certainly novel, and ticking Hanson's quirky box.
1:35:53 > 1:35:58Any chance you might - oh, I don't know - buy some antiques today?
1:35:58 > 1:36:01- We still need that big star buy. - Yes.- Is that for me to decide?
1:36:01 > 1:36:05- I think it is, cos you're the expert. - Thanks. Follow me, OK?
1:36:05 > 1:36:07THEY LAUGH
1:36:07 > 1:36:09We'd all love a star buy.
1:36:09 > 1:36:12But are you sure you haven't passed one already?
1:36:12 > 1:36:15- So, what is this, Caroline? - A marrow spoon.
1:36:15 > 1:36:18- Will this impress Charlie, if I get this?- Oh, yeah.
1:36:18 > 1:36:20- It will?- Oh, here we go again.
1:36:21 > 1:36:25Toyah and Charles have already dismissed this lovely marrow scoop
1:36:25 > 1:36:27at £220.
1:36:27 > 1:36:29- Can we do that for 100? - On your knees, Blackburn!
1:36:29 > 1:36:31Yeah. All right.
1:36:31 > 1:36:34This is something I thought I'd never see!
1:36:34 > 1:36:36Can we please have this for £100?
1:36:36 > 1:36:38- Yeah.- Oh, thank you!- Yes! Blackers!
1:36:38 > 1:36:40Thank you!
1:36:40 > 1:36:44Hats off again! It must be the amazing allure
1:36:44 > 1:36:48of the Celebrity Antiques Road Tripper that's simply irresistible!
1:36:48 > 1:36:51- This lady's saying flea market. - Have you been to the flea market?
1:36:51 > 1:36:55With all sorts of things being sold? Vintage, everything?
1:36:55 > 1:36:57Now, that sounds your style, girl.
1:36:57 > 1:37:00Oh, this is our sort of place. Look, Toyah!
1:37:00 > 1:37:03Oh, wow! Toyah, were lava lamps at your time?
1:37:03 > 1:37:06Goodness sakes! We're looking for antiques!
1:37:06 > 1:37:09- Well, since your time. - I am going to kill him.
1:37:09 > 1:37:13I know the feeling. But please let Charles find some antiques first,
1:37:13 > 1:37:15or at least a profitable collectable.
1:37:15 > 1:37:19- You put it on the floor like that... - And then you push it along.
1:37:19 > 1:37:23It will... Oops! It will play the drum, won't it, like that?
1:37:23 > 1:37:25TOY RATTLES
1:37:25 > 1:37:29Instinctively to you, how old do you think that is? 1950?
1:37:29 > 1:37:33I think it's probably Japanese, and probably 1960s.
1:37:33 > 1:37:35He's really great. Love him.
1:37:35 > 1:37:37It's £12,
1:37:37 > 1:37:41and I think someone's going to pay a bit more for it than that.
1:37:41 > 1:37:43What's the best price? £8?
1:37:43 > 1:37:46No. £10.
1:37:46 > 1:37:48- I think it's worth doing.- Yeah.
1:37:48 > 1:37:51- And between friends?- 10.
1:37:51 > 1:37:53£10. Well, I should think we get it. Do you?
1:37:53 > 1:37:57- I think that's really worth trying. - Yeah. I think... I like it.
1:37:57 > 1:38:00There's £10. We're a bit short of time, OK?
1:38:01 > 1:38:04What's he like? It's like being in a Keystone Cop movie.
1:38:06 > 1:38:08I'm with Hanson, wholeheartedly.
1:38:08 > 1:38:13This is just the kind of frantic, impassioned antique shopping I like!
1:38:13 > 1:38:15Come on! Keep this fire burning.
1:38:17 > 1:38:20- This is quite a nice cane. - Malacca cane.- How early is it?
1:38:20 > 1:38:24- Turn of the century, would you say? - Not hallmarked at all, is it?
1:38:24 > 1:38:26It isn't, but I believe it is silver.
1:38:26 > 1:38:30It's just nice quality. What's the very best, out of interest, at £45?
1:38:31 > 1:38:35- 32.- And between really good friends? - Honestly, I can't -
1:38:35 > 1:38:37- £32?- 30.
1:38:37 > 1:38:39OK, 30. I like it!
1:38:39 > 1:38:41Very, very best, Will, is...
1:38:41 > 1:38:46Don't keep doing this to me. My very, very best on that is £28.
1:38:46 > 1:38:50Protest if you like, sir, but this pair won't stop pushing.
1:38:50 > 1:38:53- I don't know how old he is, Will. - He's not old at all,
1:38:53 > 1:38:55but he's an artist's bear, handmade.
1:38:55 > 1:38:59I think he's great. Auctions are all about romance,
1:38:59 > 1:39:02- theatre, drama... - But is it about modern things?
1:39:02 > 1:39:05- Yes and no. - I'd say more no than yes, Charles.
1:39:05 > 1:39:08He might sell, and he might be quirky,
1:39:08 > 1:39:13but antique he ain't. Please try and find something old today!
1:39:13 > 1:39:17If we bought the cane and the bear as a twosome,
1:39:17 > 1:39:20what's the best price for the two together?
1:39:20 > 1:39:23- 45 quid.- Between friends, 45? - Yeah.- That's great, Will.
1:39:23 > 1:39:26Well, at least this lovely walking cane has some age.
1:39:26 > 1:39:29Wilcox-Hanson's swag bag is full, just in the nick of time
1:39:29 > 1:39:32to catch up on all the gossip.
1:39:35 > 1:39:40My relationship with Charles is naughty schoolboy
1:39:40 > 1:39:43and his first older-woman crush.
1:39:43 > 1:39:46I think our relationship has a lot of chemistry.
1:39:46 > 1:39:50Well, our relationship is obviously not quite the same as yours,
1:39:50 > 1:39:53but I like Charlie very much indeed.
1:39:53 > 1:39:54We've just had a good laugh all day.
1:39:54 > 1:39:57But there is no sexual chemistry between us.
1:39:57 > 1:40:00I think he was the original Austin Powers.
1:40:00 > 1:40:01Yeah, baby!
1:40:01 > 1:40:05Our rival teams have an engagement to reveal their purchases.
1:40:05 > 1:40:10So, the road trip continues on, 14 miles southwest
1:40:10 > 1:40:14to make ready in the well trimmed grounds of Castle Howard.
1:40:14 > 1:40:19Temporarily unleashed from their experts,
1:40:19 > 1:40:23our celebrities have decided to take a quick squint inside.
1:40:24 > 1:40:28Even more drive! How much land have these people got?
1:40:30 > 1:40:34You might recognise this superior exterior
1:40:34 > 1:40:38from such illustrious entertainment as Brideshead Revisited,
1:40:38 > 1:40:43Barry Lyndon, and even Garfield 2, A Tail of Two Kitties.
1:40:44 > 1:40:49I say, Tony, let's just drop in and offer them £10,000.
1:40:49 > 1:40:51I'm so glad you could come to my house.
1:40:51 > 1:40:56Designed by the renowned English architect John Vanbrugh
1:40:56 > 1:40:59in a similar Baroque style to Blenheim Palace,
1:40:59 > 1:41:02the house was built from 1699 to 1712,
1:41:02 > 1:41:06as a family home for Charles Howard, the third earl of Carlisle.
1:41:06 > 1:41:10Charles inherited his title and went on to acquire more wealth
1:41:10 > 1:41:13by skilfully and repeatedly changing sides
1:41:13 > 1:41:15during the English Civil War.
1:41:17 > 1:41:20- Nice to meet you. I'm Chris. - I'm Tony. Hello.
1:41:20 > 1:41:22- Pleased to meet you. - What a lovely place!
1:41:22 > 1:41:25You're seeing it at its best on an evening like this.
1:41:29 > 1:41:33Inside, this amazing family home reveals its many treasures.
1:41:33 > 1:41:36Charles Howard's son, Henry, the fourth earl,
1:41:36 > 1:41:40toured continental Europe twice in the early 18th century,
1:41:40 > 1:41:44buying up pretty much any beautiful object that caught his eye,
1:41:44 > 1:41:47and even got a few bargains.
1:41:47 > 1:41:50This is a figure of Bacchus or Silenus.
1:41:50 > 1:41:53You can see he's got grapes in his hair,
1:41:53 > 1:41:57and he's sort of celebrating the delights of wine.
1:41:57 > 1:42:01- TONY LAUGHS - And we know that he was here,
1:42:01 > 1:42:05brought back from that trip, because we actually have the bill for him.
1:42:05 > 1:42:09- How much was he? - I think he was about 150 scudi.
1:42:09 > 1:42:11And I've spent a long time trying to work out
1:42:11 > 1:42:13what a scudi would be worth today,
1:42:13 > 1:42:17and a scudi would be worth about £1.50, I think.
1:42:17 > 1:42:20So he was probably about the equivalent of £400.
1:42:20 > 1:42:23- So a bargain, really! - How long ago was that?
1:42:23 > 1:42:26- That was in the 1740s. - That was quite a lot of money then.
1:42:26 > 1:42:31Thanks to Henry's Euro trips and obvious haggling abilities,
1:42:31 > 1:42:35Castle Howard is stunningly furnished with ancient sculptures,
1:42:35 > 1:42:38Italian paintings and works by the Old Masters.
1:42:38 > 1:42:41However, Henry's sisters, perhaps,
1:42:41 > 1:42:44led the most diverse and unusual lives.
1:42:44 > 1:42:47Those three ladies are the three daughters
1:42:47 > 1:42:51of the man who built Castle Howard - Ann, Elizabeth and Mary.
1:42:51 > 1:42:54The nice thing about those girls is, in their later life,
1:42:54 > 1:42:56they wrote to their father regularly,
1:42:56 > 1:43:00so if you look at their letters, one of them was in Bath one day,
1:43:00 > 1:43:02and she was chased through the streets by a bull.
1:43:02 > 1:43:05- As would happen. - As would happen!- In Bath.
1:43:05 > 1:43:09Exactly. And then the third daughter was the crazy one.
1:43:09 > 1:43:12Lost huge sums of money gambling,
1:43:12 > 1:43:16tried to take her own life by swallowing laudanum...
1:43:16 > 1:43:20Well, don't we all love a bit of historical gossip?
1:43:20 > 1:43:23Fortunately, no lives were entirely ruined
1:43:23 > 1:43:26in the acquisition of fine items for this house,
1:43:26 > 1:43:29be they bought, acquired, or, in some cases, gratefully received.
1:43:29 > 1:43:33MUSIC: "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve
1:43:33 > 1:43:36- Any idea what this is? - It's a container of sorts.
1:43:36 > 1:43:38Looks like a big soup bowl.
1:43:38 > 1:43:40Made out of wood...
1:43:40 > 1:43:42Yeah. It's a casket that was presented
1:43:42 > 1:43:46to the seventh earl of Carlisle in 1841,
1:43:46 > 1:43:50when he lost his seat in the Yorkshire election.
1:43:50 > 1:43:53- It is, in fact, a wine cooler.- Aha!
1:43:53 > 1:43:56So the lid, which I'm not going to attempt to take off,
1:43:56 > 1:43:59because it's very heavy, but you have a lead-lined container
1:43:59 > 1:44:03- in there, and you can stand bottles of wine...- How modern!
1:44:03 > 1:44:06I've got £200. I think we could make a profit on this.
1:44:06 > 1:44:09I think you could, but this one isn't for sale.
1:44:09 > 1:44:11- Oh, well. It was worth a try. - THEY LAUGH
1:44:11 > 1:44:14It's the way he tells 'em!
1:44:14 > 1:44:17Sadly we must leave this majestic interior
1:44:17 > 1:44:19for a moment of reckoning in the garden.
1:44:19 > 1:44:23It's time to put shyness aside and show each other our wares.
1:44:23 > 1:44:25I can't wait!
1:44:25 > 1:44:27- Good time? - We've had a wonderful time.
1:44:27 > 1:44:30- Look at this. Do you like it?- Oh!
1:44:30 > 1:44:33Oh! THEY LAUGH
1:44:33 > 1:44:35I'm not trying to be rude or anything.
1:44:35 > 1:44:37It's not something I would have gone for.
1:44:37 > 1:44:40Considering where we are going to be selling,
1:44:40 > 1:44:44- which is close to the centre of the boxing fraternity...- Cost us £20.
1:44:44 > 1:44:48- I think that's fine. - This is something I spotted,
1:44:48 > 1:44:51- and it's something that's just different.- OK.
1:44:51 > 1:44:54- It's, er, my nut. It's walnut... - Clever.
1:44:54 > 1:44:57- ..and it is actually an inkwell. - That is very clever.
1:44:57 > 1:45:01It's novel. To me, it's probably a century old.
1:45:01 > 1:45:03- Exactly.- Oh, that's good.
1:45:03 > 1:45:06Tony, you've hit the antique on the head.
1:45:06 > 1:45:08- You quite like it, then? - It's growing on me.
1:45:08 > 1:45:12I like it, Tony. We are now going forward.
1:45:12 > 1:45:14Oh, they're wacky!
1:45:14 > 1:45:17I've never seen a set like this before.
1:45:17 > 1:45:19- I'm not surprised, really.- Excuse me?
1:45:19 > 1:45:22THEY LAUGH No, I like them! I like them.
1:45:22 > 1:45:26I like your adventurous spirit, because they could make £75
1:45:26 > 1:45:28- or they could make £20. - But they cost less than £5 each.
1:45:28 > 1:45:31Now, we've got something larger for you here.
1:45:31 > 1:45:34- Look at that.- Oh, no!
1:45:34 > 1:45:36That's "Oh, no, I'm trembling".
1:45:36 > 1:45:40We want that to go on top of somebody's stable.
1:45:40 > 1:45:42The price on it was £90.
1:45:42 > 1:45:44And I unleashed Blackburn,
1:45:44 > 1:45:47and I said, "Go get it, my man. Start at 30."
1:45:47 > 1:45:50- "If you have to, go up to 40." - I bet it cost 50.
1:45:50 > 1:45:53- He came back a minute later and said, "Bought it for 30."- 30.
1:45:53 > 1:45:56- You did good.- I found this.
1:45:56 > 1:45:59It's just a quality, lightweight dandy cane.
1:45:59 > 1:46:02- Let's have a look.- It's silver, but it's not hallmarked.
1:46:02 > 1:46:06- What do you think we'll get for this? - I would put it at about £30.
1:46:06 > 1:46:10- Well, it cost us £28.- £28? - He's a good valuer, isn't he?
1:46:10 > 1:46:13- I know. Where's this guy from? - I like a caddy spoon.
1:46:13 > 1:46:17Oh, that's charming. I hope you haven't paid £10 for it.
1:46:17 > 1:46:19No. They were wanting best part of £100 for it,
1:46:19 > 1:46:23- but...Monsieur Blackburn.- Oh, no!
1:46:23 > 1:46:26The lady melted when he said, "£40 with a kiss."
1:46:26 > 1:46:27- SHE GASPS - No!
1:46:27 > 1:46:31Toyah, it's now time to unleash our secret weapon,
1:46:31 > 1:46:34which really is an antique, about five, six, seven times over.
1:46:34 > 1:46:36Look at that!
1:46:38 > 1:46:41Dare I say something? I find it a little ugly.
1:46:41 > 1:46:44It's almost 1,000 years old, Tony! It cost us...
1:46:44 > 1:46:46- Was it £100?- And £50.
1:46:46 > 1:46:50It's speculating to really, really accumulate,
1:46:50 > 1:46:53- so we're going for it. - I admire you.- Yes.
1:46:53 > 1:46:55Very brave. Well done.
1:46:55 > 1:46:57If you put a few daffodils in the top of it,
1:46:57 > 1:47:01- just to make it look better... - There's always one, isn't there?
1:47:01 > 1:47:04- Always one. - From your gamble to our gamble.
1:47:04 > 1:47:08Think Olympics. What would be the most famous Olympics?
1:47:08 > 1:47:10- Munich?- 1936.- Germany, 1936.
1:47:10 > 1:47:13It's a bronze plaque. Got the swastika on the top.
1:47:13 > 1:47:17I have to be honest - I would not touch that with a bargepole.
1:47:17 > 1:47:20- Because of the swastika? - Because of the swastika.
1:47:20 > 1:47:22I know exactly what you mean.
1:47:22 > 1:47:26We're not condoning anything that went on there, Toyah.
1:47:26 > 1:47:29We're not saying anything other than, this was an Olympic Games,
1:47:29 > 1:47:33- and a turning point, was it not? - It is a bit of history, isn't it?
1:47:33 > 1:47:37All I can say is, you've actually bought very, very well.
1:47:37 > 1:47:39- Oh, wonderful!- Look at that.
1:47:39 > 1:47:42- Wonderful!- Look at that.- I love it.
1:47:42 > 1:47:45- So, was this a tenner? - Charlie, it was something which...
1:47:45 > 1:47:47- was a tenner. - THEY LAUGH
1:47:47 > 1:47:50You hate it when I'm right, don't you?
1:47:50 > 1:47:54This is one we're really looking forward to you seeing.
1:47:54 > 1:47:56Oh, no!
1:47:56 > 1:47:58- THEY LAUGH - I can't believe it!
1:47:58 > 1:48:02- I give you Monsieur le Marrow Scoop! - Oh, good for you!
1:48:02 > 1:48:06- How much were they asking for it? - The label had 220 on it.- 220.
1:48:06 > 1:48:09And it was at this moment I unleashed Mr Blackburn.
1:48:09 > 1:48:12And I went down on my knees, and we got it for £50.
1:48:12 > 1:48:15- Oh, you didn't!- Are you serious?
1:48:15 > 1:48:20Well, I'm not absolutely serious. No. It was 100. We got it for £100.
1:48:20 > 1:48:23- You've gone for the negotiator. - I've gone for the emotion.
1:48:23 > 1:48:26Our finale, which people get emotional about -
1:48:26 > 1:48:30- they love a good teddy bear. - Oh, I think he's charming!
1:48:30 > 1:48:34- Love him. We've got a serious competition on our hands.- Mmm.
1:48:34 > 1:48:38So, that's everything. Now, let's see what they really think.
1:48:38 > 1:48:41I don't think the walnut's going to get that much.
1:48:41 > 1:48:44I don't think the weathercock is going to get that much.
1:48:44 > 1:48:48- I think it's half a hanging basket. - It's not nice.
1:48:48 > 1:48:50You did not like that Beswick figure, did you?
1:48:50 > 1:48:54I thought it looked very cheap. We wouldn't have bought any of that.
1:48:54 > 1:48:58That's a really, really good... HE LAUGHS
1:48:58 > 1:49:02We're slightly anxious, but at the same time
1:49:02 > 1:49:04there's a few falls for them, as well.
1:49:04 > 1:49:06I think we can be a little bit smug.
1:49:07 > 1:49:09Well, I like the sound of that!
1:49:09 > 1:49:12Our novice celebrities have come on leaps and bounds
1:49:12 > 1:49:15in the last two days, bless 'em.
1:49:15 > 1:49:18Now let's take this newfound confidence on the road
1:49:18 > 1:49:20just one more time.
1:49:20 > 1:49:23Wouldn't it be amazing if you got up on the stand
1:49:23 > 1:49:27and you ran the auction for your bits yourself?
1:49:27 > 1:49:31- Are you allowed to do that? - Tony, you are a rebel of the '60s.
1:49:31 > 1:49:33I am a rebel of the '80s.
1:49:33 > 1:49:36We just take over. Anarchy.
1:49:36 > 1:49:39Castle Howard is consigned to the past
1:49:39 > 1:49:42as this monumental celebrity road trip thunders on,
1:49:42 > 1:49:45a whopping 198 miles due south
1:49:45 > 1:49:50all the way to Stansted Mountfitchet in glorious Essex.
1:49:52 > 1:49:56THEY ALL SING # Oh, what a beautiful morning
1:49:56 > 1:50:00# Oh, what a beautiful day
1:50:00 > 1:50:05# I've got a beautiful feeling
1:50:05 > 1:50:10- # Everything's going my way # - Going my way.- Going MY way!
1:50:10 > 1:50:13Auction day is finally upon us,
1:50:13 > 1:50:15as our eager celebrities and experts arrive
1:50:15 > 1:50:18- at Sworders Auctioneers. - You look gorgeous!- Thank you!
1:50:18 > 1:50:22- Allow me to take you to the sale room.- Oh, come on!
1:50:22 > 1:50:26- Look, she's my partner. Come on! - I feel a little bit left out here.
1:50:26 > 1:50:29Come on, Blackers. You'll be all right. Stick with Charlie.
1:50:29 > 1:50:31I bet you say that to all the celebs.
1:50:31 > 1:50:34Sworders Auctioneers began flogging gear
1:50:34 > 1:50:37way, way back in 1782,
1:50:37 > 1:50:40long before these rooms began selling fine arts.
1:50:40 > 1:50:43Today it's the antiques and collectables sale,
1:50:43 > 1:50:46with auctioneer Guy Schooling here to get things going.
1:50:46 > 1:50:49£50. Five anywhere?
1:50:49 > 1:50:53- We bought one big item. - It's a Chinese vase.
1:50:53 > 1:50:57The problem I would have with it, and the Chinese may have with it,
1:50:57 > 1:51:01- is the damage.- The problem I have with it is that it looks so hideous.
1:51:01 > 1:51:04- It is quite boring. - THEY LAUGH
1:51:04 > 1:51:07I have to ask you - there's a really horrible weather vane.
1:51:07 > 1:51:10Please tell me it'll fetch 20p.
1:51:10 > 1:51:13- I would have thought, again, 100 to 150.- Oh!
1:51:16 > 1:51:19All I want to say is, no matter what happens,
1:51:19 > 1:51:23it's been enormous fun, so when we have this massive win,
1:51:23 > 1:51:25and you have a chip on your shoulder,
1:51:25 > 1:51:29- I want you to forget about it. - Thank you, Tony.- All right, Tony.
1:51:29 > 1:51:33Charlie and Tony started today's show with their full £400,
1:51:33 > 1:51:36and spent £270 on five auction lots.
1:51:40 > 1:51:45Team Toyah also began with £400, and spent just £250 on six lots.
1:51:49 > 1:51:52Experts and celebrities get themselves settled.
1:51:52 > 1:51:55Citizens whisper then fall silent,
1:51:55 > 1:51:59as this most prestigious auction is about to begin.
1:52:00 > 1:52:04First up, Toyah's pugilist puppy is spoiling for a fight.
1:52:04 > 1:52:08- Lot 155, Beswick figure, £50. - Have a go.

1:52:18 > 1:52:22It's the only boxing dog you'll ever get the chance to buy.
1:52:22 > 1:52:25HE LAUGHS Over here! Over here!
1:52:25 > 1:52:27I've got her, I've got her! Calm down!
1:52:27 > 1:52:29Thank you.
1:52:29 > 1:52:3332. £32 in the centre of the room.
1:52:35 > 1:52:38It's a knockout for Wilcox-Hanson.
1:52:38 > 1:52:41- That's great! Excellent. Thank you, lady in pink.- Thank you.
1:52:41 > 1:52:44And now, a tough nut to crack -

1:53:41 > 1:53:43For 32...
1:53:43 > 1:53:47Ah, bless! A lovely profit.
1:53:47 > 1:53:50Now, let's see which way the wind of chance is blowing.
1:53:50 > 1:53:53- 40 I'm bid. - It's a profit! Straight in!

1:54:00 > 1:54:0270 anywhere?
1:54:02 > 1:54:05Selling, then, at £65...
1:54:06 > 1:54:11Hard-haggle Blackburn has done it again, making Charlie proud.
1:54:11 > 1:54:14I'm amazed. Absolutely.
1:54:14 > 1:54:17And another modern item from Toyah's swag bag -
1:54:17 > 1:54:20funnily enough, from the 1980s.
1:54:20 > 1:54:22Er, £50. 20.
1:54:22 > 1:54:26Ten to start. 12. 15. 18.
1:54:26 > 1:54:2920. I shall sell them at 20.
1:54:30 > 1:54:33And that'll teach you for buying modern collectables
1:54:33 > 1:54:36on the Antiques Road Trip. Shocking!
1:54:36 > 1:54:40Now, Charlie and Tony await their Olympic dreams.

1:54:43 > 1:54:45Piece of history. 30. Five.

1:54:56 > 1:54:59- Selling at £70...- Stop!
1:54:59 > 1:55:04Ouch! A slight loss, and no gold medal for Charlie and Tony.
1:55:04 > 1:55:09Let's get some swagger into Charles' and Toyah's auction fortunes.
1:55:09 > 1:55:11£50. 20.

1:55:24 > 1:55:27- We got her! We got her! - 60.- It's not very good.
1:55:27 > 1:55:29Come on!
1:55:29 > 1:55:32At £60...
1:55:32 > 1:55:35- Ooh, double and then some! - Thank you, madam.
1:55:35 > 1:55:38- Well done, madam. - Thank you very much! You're a star.
1:55:38 > 1:55:40And now another genuine antique,
1:55:40 > 1:55:44authentically bought by that charmer, Blackburn.

1:55:51 > 1:55:56Two. 45. 48. 50, sir?
1:55:56 > 1:56:00- No? £48 on my left. - I want to bid for it.
1:56:00 > 1:56:02Slim profit.
1:56:02 > 1:56:05A profit, but nothing to shout about, frankly.
1:56:05 > 1:56:08Meanwhile, back at the retro-collectables sale,
1:56:08 > 1:56:11the drumming panda is looking for someone to play with.
1:56:11 > 1:56:13£50. 20.
1:56:13 > 1:56:16- Double the money!- What did it cost?
1:56:16 > 1:56:19- £10.- Five. Eight. 30.
1:56:19 > 1:56:21- Ooh!- Five. Eight. 40.
1:56:21 > 1:56:24Commission bid. Can I say two anywhere?
1:56:24 > 1:56:26I shall sell at £40...
1:56:27 > 1:56:31And it looks like 20th-century tin toys are the things to buy.
1:56:31 > 1:56:33I'll eat my hat now.
1:56:33 > 1:56:37- Well done. Well done. - That was really good!
1:56:37 > 1:56:40But not before this lovely kosher-antique marrow scoop
1:56:40 > 1:56:42goes before the bidders.
1:56:42 > 1:56:4535 I'm bid. At 35. 40.
1:56:45 > 1:56:48Five. 50. Five.

1:56:51 > 1:56:53- At £80.- Stop!- £80?
1:56:53 > 1:56:55- 90. 100.- Stop!
1:56:55 > 1:56:57110. 120. 130.
1:56:57 > 1:57:00- Up, up! - It's a profit, but it's paltry.
1:57:00 > 1:57:04A profit, but a slightly disappointing one.
1:57:04 > 1:57:07- That was all right! - And it should have been ours!
1:57:07 > 1:57:09And, as the final lot waits in the wings,
1:57:09 > 1:57:14there's a solid £50 separating our two celebrities' fortunes,
1:57:14 > 1:57:17with Wilcox team out in front.
1:57:17 > 1:57:23Now the long-awaited Chinese burial jar finally takes the stage.
1:57:23 > 1:57:26- So, let's start £100.- Come on.- 50.
1:57:26 > 1:57:2920. 20 I'm bid.
1:57:29 > 1:57:33Ouch! That's rather an insult to an 800-year-old piece.
1:57:33 > 1:57:38Maiden bid will take it. At 25. 30. Five. 40.
1:57:38 > 1:57:41- Here it goes.- Five. 50. Five.
1:57:41 > 1:57:4360. It's commission bid. You're out in the room.
1:57:43 > 1:57:46- At £60. - Commission bid!- Selling, then,
1:57:46 > 1:57:50- on commission, at £60... - Come on, come on!
1:57:50 > 1:57:52Sold at 60.
1:57:52 > 1:57:55Heavens to Betsy, that's appalling!
1:57:55 > 1:58:00And a rather sad end to the fortunes of Wilcox-Hanson.
1:58:00 > 1:58:02Oh, dear, what a shame!
1:58:02 > 1:58:04THEY LAUGH
1:58:07 > 1:58:09Sadly, after paying auction costs,
1:58:09 > 1:58:12second-placed Toyah and Charles have made a loss
1:58:12 > 1:58:18and limped to the finish line with just £362.38.
1:58:25 > 1:58:28Tony and Charlie made a modest yet debonair profit,
1:58:28 > 1:58:33finishing their road trip with - you guessed it - £411.46.
1:58:35 > 1:58:36Jolly well done, everyone!
1:58:36 > 1:58:40All the money our celebrities and experts make
1:58:40 > 1:58:42will go to Children In Need.
1:58:42 > 1:58:46- Can't win 'em all, can we? Well, it was fun.- For us.
1:58:46 > 1:58:49- Stop it!- Mr Blackburn is something of a legend, is he not?
1:58:49 > 1:58:52- He started there and ended up there. - I've really enjoyed it.
1:58:52 > 1:58:55I haven't really known what I've been buying,
1:58:55 > 1:58:57but it's been fantastic, and we made a profit.
1:58:57 > 1:59:02- That has shown, actually, Tony, but luck was on your side.- Ooh!
1:59:02 > 1:59:07We took a gamble. We were brave. We entered into the arena
1:59:07 > 1:59:10- with speculation.- I've never known two such bad losers.
1:59:10 > 1:59:13- I know. Dreadful. Dreadful! - I tell you what we'll do.
1:59:13 > 1:59:15- What's that? - Get in the car.- Fantastic.
1:59:15 > 1:59:18- Toyah, will you come home with me? - I will.- Fantastic.
1:59:18 > 1:59:21- Best offer I've had all day.- Really?
1:59:21 > 1:59:24Oh, come on, Toyah. Your auction wasn't THAT bad.
1:59:25 > 1:59:30In fact, it seems as if celebrities really can spot and buy antiques
1:59:30 > 1:59:33for themselves, even when hampered by Charles Hanson.
1:59:33 > 1:59:36Farewell, Charles and Toyah!
1:59:36 > 1:59:41Farewell, Charlie and Tony. Bye-bye, everyone. Bye-bye.
