0:00:50 > 0:00:57.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Some of the nation's favourite celebrities...- Sensational!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08..one antiques expert each...
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- It's middle class. - Darling, aren't we all?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13..and one big challenge -
0:01:13 > 0:01:18who can seek out and buy the best antiques at the very best prices...
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Do I start laughing now? - You can if you like.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24..and auction for a big profit...
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- 55, thank you. - ..further down the road?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Who will spot the good investments?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Who will listen to advice?
0:01:34 > 0:01:39And who will be the first to say, "Don't you know who I am?!"
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Time to put your pedal to the metal -
0:01:41 > 0:01:45this is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip - yeah!
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Now, if you ask me, there's very little to beat a summer's day
0:01:53 > 0:01:55in the glorious British Isles -
0:01:55 > 0:02:01dappled light resting gracefully on our grand old architecture,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05the majestic countryside, and then...
0:02:05 > 0:02:07there's days like this.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13Good job tonight's Celebrity Road Trippers are made of stern stuff.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Welcome aboard, journalist and presenter Katie Derham
0:02:16 > 0:02:20and star of stage and screen Mr Tom Conti!
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Do you know anything about this car at all?- This car? No.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Best known for presenting ITV News,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30the lovely Katie Derham began her career at the Beeb.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35And can I just say, we love her work - especially the early stuff.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40But what can any investor in a club like Millwall really expect?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Probably best not to take too much notice of those tax-cut promises...
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Now, that's not exactly a snappy headline...
0:02:46 > 0:02:50More recently, Katie is ensconced in the arts, presenting the Proms,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54the Classical BRIT Awards, even competing to be a maestro.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58MUSIC BUILDS TO A CLIMAX
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Gosh!
0:03:00 > 0:03:03What a frock!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06As you know, Katie's competition is the dashing Tom Conti,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09and right now, he'll be playing the driver
0:03:09 > 0:03:13of this 1952 Jowett Jupiter.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- OK, here we go, are you ready? - I'm ready.- Hold on!
0:03:16 > 0:03:20I'm holding on! Don't... Agh! You just ran over the cameraman!
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Is he... Is he dead?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Because if he's dead, we ought to stop.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30While his driving may be a little hit and miss,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Tom's acting career spans more than 50 years. In theatre,
0:03:33 > 0:03:37film and television, he's been wowing audiences in everything
0:03:37 > 0:03:40from Shirley Valentine to Miranda - such fun!
0:03:40 > 0:03:44And his latest project - well, at the time of filming,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47it's all a bit hush-hush, but I'll give you a clue -
0:03:47 > 0:03:51it's Batman - The Dark Knight Rises.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54A great qualification for a Road Tripper!
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Do we have, erm, indicators?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59An indicator? It's better to surprise them, I think.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Our celebs may be taking each other on,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06but they won't be doing it alone.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Guiding them are two absolute veterans,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11James Braxton and James Lewis,
0:04:11 > 0:04:16currently enjoying all that an open-top MG Midget has to offer.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19How are you feeling in your jacket, then, James?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Yeah... I'm feeling a tad wet, and even more stupid.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Could this be an omen?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29James Braxton's 25 years in antiques began
0:04:29 > 0:04:32when he dropped out of a Business Studies course and became a porter
0:04:32 > 0:04:36at an auction house. The rest, as they say, is history.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41- Shall I carry it, sir?- Oh, yes, I really wish you would.- OK.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44James Lewis, meanwhile, has two great passions -
0:04:44 > 0:04:46antiques and animals.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50He claims he made his first auction bid at the age of six.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55The collectible in question, a birdcage for his budgie.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59So, drawing on the advice of our esteemed experts,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Tom and Katie have £400 each,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05two days of shopping and one auction
0:05:05 > 0:05:09to prove that they can buy low, sell high with the best of 'em.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Do you know anything about them at all?- About antiques?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- Yeah.- Not much. That's the old ones, isn't it? The older stuff?
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Yes...
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Before they risk their reputations, let's look at the journey ahead.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27We're kicking off this Celebrity Road Trip in Lewes, Sussex,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30and for the most part we're headed north,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34ending with an auction showdown in Wandsworth, South London.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38First stop, the charming town of Lewes,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41which has quite a bloody and exciting history.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45What started as a Roman settlement
0:05:45 > 0:05:49was invaded by the Saxons, then the Danes, and finally the Normans,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53which is what prompted William The Conq's brother-in-law
0:05:53 > 0:05:57to build Lewes Castle in the first place, in 1069 -
0:05:57 > 0:05:59and doesn't it look great in the sunshine?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Well, for a minute or two, because...
0:06:02 > 0:06:06# Let it rain, let it rain... #
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Although as our celebrities rendezvous,
0:06:08 > 0:06:12it is of course a very different story.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Hello.- Hello!
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Katie, nice to meet you.- James.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Glorious, isn't it?- This is Katie, and I'm Katie, too, just to...
0:06:20 > 0:06:21THEY LAUGH
0:06:21 > 0:06:24You don't look like a Katie, Tom.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28It's like an exchange on a bridge in Berlin in the old days, you know!
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Do we go off with one of you, or what happens?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- That's the idea. - Hopefully, we're going to guide you.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Do you know much about antiques? - Not a lot. I think it'll be,
0:06:38 > 0:06:42"I like the look of that," and you just shake your head...
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Right, James, you can have Katie! - You said you wanted Tom!
0:06:45 > 0:06:49It's bric-a-brac, isn't it?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I'll just try and educate this man!
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Au revoir. I hope to see you in the not-too-distant future.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Certainly will.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Have fun. Which way are you guys going?- This way.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Towards the antique shops! - It's a park up there.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Pub!- Excellent, excellent.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Now, whilst there isn't a moment to lose,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12apparently there is time for a cheeky latte
0:07:12 > 0:07:14in order to talk tactics.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Are you a competitive person, Tom?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21No, no, I'm not, but are you, against your namesake, James?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Not against anybody else bar James Lewis.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29He is a man who needs to be beaten, I think.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Right, he is your bete noire?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35I know we're all friends, but we are wanting to win.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Yeah, it would be nice.- How do we go about this? What do we do?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Well, James is lovely, and he's a true gentleman, is James.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45I don't think he's a hard-nosed negotiator,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48so that is somewhere we might have an advantage.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Brilliant! Because we're underhand...?!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Well, I, me, I will have a good old haggle.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Right, then, let's go, shall we?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Tom and James's first shop of the day is Cliffe Antiques,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08where it's clear you can tell a lot about a person
0:08:08 > 0:08:11from their choice of collectibles.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Oh, that's nice! HE LAUGHS
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Oh, yes? And what do you love about it, Tom?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18The bum.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Don't be fooled, I think Conti has an eye for a...bargain.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I like that.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26That's a fabulous mirror, isn't it?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Should we dismiss something so readily
0:08:28 > 0:08:32because it's very plastic, and broken?
0:08:32 > 0:08:37And broken, but we could tell them that it isn't broken and it's silver!
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- You see, I'm learning the trade! - There we are!
0:08:39 > 0:08:43I think you'll make an excellent antique dealer. Excellent!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45At the other end of the High Street,
0:08:45 > 0:08:49the competition are having a poke around Emporium Antiques.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Do you want to have a wander and have a bit of freedom
0:08:51 > 0:08:54and just pick up anything that you like?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57If you want an idea of value, bring it over and we'll have a natter.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02James, perhaps this is a little soon for Katie to fly solo?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05This is made in Los Angeles - that can't... Is that good?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09It's early days. I'm sure she'll get the hang of it.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10James, what would this be?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Would this be some sort of regimental jam pot or something?
0:09:14 > 0:09:20- It's a stein.- It is, is it? With a lid?- German drinking.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Oh, I see, oh, right, OK. A jam pot! Sorry! I'm far too twee, aren't I?!
0:09:24 > 0:09:27It's lovely that you don't know
0:09:27 > 0:09:31what goes on in these drinking dens of inner Germany!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- I'm terribly innocent! - The funny thing is,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37traditionally, this is very practical.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Remember in all those ancient days
0:09:39 > 0:09:41when you would be sitting in your pub,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44you'd be having a very quiet jug of ale,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Somebody would slip a little bit of drugs in there
0:09:46 > 0:09:49and take you off, press-gang you and take you on board a ship.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53The idea of having a cover was so that nobody could put anything
0:09:53 > 0:09:56in your beer that you didn't want in your beer.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59So, that's one German stein/regimental jam pot
0:09:59 > 0:10:02on the maybe list. Maybe.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07As for Team Conti, they're leaving no stone unturned,
0:10:07 > 0:10:11and so far have several candidates for purchase numero uno.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16Look, here's a bit of... That's quite fun.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- That's a nice bit of satsuma. - I thought that was a tangerine!
0:10:18 > 0:10:22This is an area of Japan which was famous for its pottery.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Beautifully done, this.- Isn't it? What is the gold stuff?- It is gold.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- It is gold?- It is gold. But the damage to this piece...
0:10:30 > 0:10:32It's been sanded down, hasn't it?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Someone's certainly sanded it down a bit.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38But we might come back to that one.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Well, that's one possibility.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43And strangely, so is this.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I think that's very unusual.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48It's a double saddle, so warrior and missus behind.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Yeah, it would be a very curiously-shaped beast. Wouldn't it?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Yeah, it's quite a long beast, isn't it?- A very long horse.- Long horse.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- Do you think it's maybe not a horse? - Well, I think it could have...
0:11:00 > 0:11:01What else do you ride?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Or, these tails might have been slightly, do you think,
0:11:05 > 0:11:06rather like a luggage rack?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10It could be decoratively combined into a contemporary interior.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12To be considered for later, is it?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16I think it is consider for later.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20I think we may be very lucky in here. It's a rich seam, I think.
0:11:20 > 0:11:26James, I do believe your competitive side is coming out to play.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Marvellous.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31A £1,000 note. How interesting!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Ha ha. Although I'm worried about Katie -
0:11:33 > 0:11:36she's still trying to go it alone in the dark.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I would have spent hours when I was a kid -
0:11:38 > 0:11:41my grandma used to have something like this.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42It's a dressing set.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I assume this would have been little pots for rouge and perfume.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Ah, well, at least she doesn't think it's a jam pot.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- We're making progress!- James.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Look, a dressing box.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58But is the fact that it's not in very good nick, is this...?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- It's been well-loved, hasn't it? - Loved, you see, loved.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- Let's put it down somewhere and... Shall we put it on here?- Yeah.- OK.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- Cormack Brothers, isn't that lovely, Ludgate Hill.- Yes.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11But look, look. I can't open it, but look,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- it's got a secret compartment! - Have you lifted this?- Oh, no.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Go on, give it a go. There we are.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20For pearls, probably. Pearls and watches, necklaces.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23These are for face creams and face powders.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27The very best ones are solid silver. These are plated.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30So this could be one of your more common or garden,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32nice but not so nice?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Yeah. Its middle-class.- OK.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40- Darling, aren't we all?! - I aspire to be!
0:12:40 > 0:12:46- So, what's that worth? I think that will make £60 at auction.- Really?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49So, us spending 180 on it wouldn't be a very good deal?!
0:12:49 > 0:12:53While Katie's yet to get into her groove, baby,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56a certain movie star is in his element,
0:12:56 > 0:13:00and currently he's getting into women's clothing, so to speak!
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Wasn't it a token of affection, gloves?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Didn't you give your sweetheart gloves?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08That's where I went wrong!
0:13:08 > 0:13:10HE LAUGHS
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Sorry, Tom, I'm talking at a slightly earlier age than you!
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Actually, Braxton is bang on.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21A chivalrous gentleman of the 17th century might indeed send
0:13:21 > 0:13:23a pair of gloves to his true love.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Then, if she wore them to church on a Sunday,
0:13:26 > 0:13:30it would signal her acceptance of his proposal.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35And we could buy one of those stretchers to go along with it,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- so you get the stretcher... - And the gloves.- Yeah.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Yeah. Nice one, Tom.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Up here for thinking, down there for dancing.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Oh, my goodness, yes.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- These are ivory. And they're... - Yes.- ..Chinese.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- With this fabulous relief carving.- Right.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Although ivory, it's not to everyone's taste.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00Fortunately, this piece is pre-1947, and therefore legal.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05- So, on a day like today.- Yes. - Come home... Saturated.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10- Your umbrella hand's all right. But the other one is very...- Yeah.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- So you put the stretcher all the way in.- In need of attention.
0:14:15 > 0:14:22- And you just do that.- And you get its shape back.- Yes. Lovely. - Very clever.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27- Well, I think...- Do you think that's a nice little tableau?- Yes.
0:14:27 > 0:14:33- Can I leave you to sort of negotiate a bit?- Absolutely. Sure. And, er...
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Sure. OK.- I tell you what, it might be worth asking the man,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40if you buy those successfully, it might be quite cheeky, you know.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43He's obviously been burdened by that satsuma item.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47He might like to throw that in for free? Anyway, I'll leave you to it.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48MUSIC: Rocky Theme
0:14:48 > 0:14:52This is the true test of an antiques geezer, or geezerette.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Tom. Two pairs of gloves, £4 each.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59The glove stretcher, 29.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Now. Meet your opponent.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04They call him Mark.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- The gloves which are four each. - £4 each.- Yeah.
0:15:07 > 0:15:15- So I'll do the pair for seven. - Yeah.- And this can be, erm... 22.
0:15:15 > 0:15:21The whole lot at £29. Huh, I don't think so. Go in low, Tom, now!
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- Erm, how about the whole thing for 28.- No!
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Lower, Tom.- Lower? No, we've done the deal now.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29We've...
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- 28 for the whole thing?- 28, yeah.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Do you think he might throw in the satsuma?- I will.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Ooh.- To help you.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- We might have a bit of fun with that.- OK, right.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Thanks very much indeed.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Thanks to Braxton, that's £5 saved on the dish.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Conti, you must try harder! See me later.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52So, imagine this is what you are blowing.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Now, working as a team, thank goodness
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Katie and James Lewis have finally found a few pieces of interest.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Both Chinese, both of them are bronze.- Yeah.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06That's had a pagination applied to make it look duller.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- The idea, these are censers.- Right.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13So they would fill them with sand and they would put incense to burn.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Erm, Chinese market, very buoyant.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18The problem is, because they are doing so well,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- it attracts the fakers.- Yeah? - And these are fake.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Well, that is a problem.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26But James, old sausage, are you absolutely sure?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28It's a remarkably good one.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32You are telling yourself, it's a fake, it's a fake.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- But...- I mean, could you be fooled, do you think? I mean, could you be double bluffing yourself?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Everything in my heart and soul is telling me,
0:16:39 > 0:16:43"James, it's wrong, it's wrong, it can't be."
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- I've seen these, exactly this model, imported.- Yeah?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I've seen on the markets in Shanghai,
0:16:49 > 0:16:53but they don't look as if they have that sort of age to them.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- Oh, I don't know.- Unable to make a decision, so, onto the maybe list it goes. Now, Katie,
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- ten points if you can get this one. - Is it for a lady? Oh look, yes.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- Powder?- Jewellery.- Jewellery, OK.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Jewellery. Because it's silk lined.
0:17:05 > 0:17:11- They would have been used for powder as well. The thing is, with these silver things...- Excuse me. Sorry.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- The ultimate professional.- It's the rain. Darling, it's all over.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I don't even want to look.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Come on, focus, team, focus.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- It's silver.- Is it? Right, OK.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- But, the thing that attracted me to it was that.- Er...- Ricketts.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- Oh, Ricketts?- Ricketts.- OK.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32And Ricketts was one of the leading fruit painters at the Royal Worcester factory.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- Really?- So, although the panel, you can't see a mark, that's Royal Worcester porcelain.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38In other words, forget the jewellery box.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41This piece of porcelain could be worth a fortune just on its own.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Oh, Steve? Are you free?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48How much could that be, please?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55I think, bearing in mind the condition, £75.
0:17:55 > 0:17:5675.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Thank you.- OK.- Yeah, thank you. - Is there a little bit of movement there?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- A little bit. - A little bit of movement.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- I think it's got potential. - Shall we hold onto this?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13What would be, what could you do with that?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Very best, £60.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- 60.- £60, yeah.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- He's coming down.- Almost half price.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Oh!
0:18:23 > 0:18:25How about 50 and you've got a deal, yes?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Would you go with it? I've got a partner.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Yes, clearly an expert in the field!
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Would you go with it?- Yeah, I'd spend £50, definitely.- Would you take 50?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37You would. Yes?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Yes!- Yes.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Got a deal, thank you. 50 quid.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45It's got a good chance. Good artist, good ceramic.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Bit of silver. Useful. Brilliant.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- One down.- Excellent, well done, you.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Great. Well done, you.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- Yes, I know! - I need a bit of moral support.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I worked very hard finding this, bringing my expertise to bear!
0:18:57 > 0:19:01And if you are quite finished with the lurve-in,
0:19:01 > 0:19:05there's still a question of whether the Chinese bowl is a bargain or a fake.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- What's the story behind it, where did it come from?- It came in from a private house.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- If it was reproduction, it wouldn't be in that state.- No.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14I'm convinced it's not. I thought it was.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19I immediately said, "Oh yes, it's a fake." Then thought, "Actually, no."
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- What could that be?- £40, maybe 35.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26You'd knock a bit more off, if we took the two, wouldn't you?
0:19:26 > 0:19:2930 quid, that's your lot, yeah?
0:19:29 > 0:19:33So, that's £80 for both. Not bad.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34What do you think?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Well, I like it. I like the fact that you got excited about it.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42But, for that, for something 100 years old of that type at the moment, that's a good price.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Oh yeah. Great.- We're intrigued.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- £80. Deal?- Deal.- Deal. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54Thank you. Well, after a slow start, Katie and her mentor now have two auction lots.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Has the rain stopped? Ish.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- It has.- Ish.- Brilliant. Oh yes.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Conti and Braxton, meanwhile, only have one.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08But they've crossed the threshold of the Lewes Antiques Centre,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10and I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14You see now, this, I want to bring these back into fashion.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Because, we are driven mad where I live
0:20:18 > 0:20:22by mechanical devices cutting hedges, and leaf blowers.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26People who invented the leaf blower should be hanged.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Oh, Tom!
0:20:28 > 0:20:30In with anger, out with love.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Speaking of which, I love this.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- 95% of these tables would have been made with four legs, wouldn't they? - Yes, I suppose so.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41And then somebody's taken, had a bit of fun, and they've produced,
0:20:41 > 0:20:47they've overcomplicated the whole thing and they've produced six legs.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- And I think that's rather nice. - So do I.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53And it hasn't been butchered.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56It's a lovely item. Six legs is so unusual. I like that.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Me too, definitely. I think it will sell.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I think it's good, yeah.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04And, are you going to be a bit harder this time?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- None of this...- I thought we did terribly well the last time.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09What have we got? £44.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- I think if you could get that for 30, 30.- Yes.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13MUSIC: Rocky Theme
0:21:13 > 0:21:16It's round two. Conti's back in the ring,
0:21:16 > 0:21:20and this time, can he save more than £1? Go for it.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25What we can afford for this table is about 28 quid.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- Do I start laughing now? - You can, if you like.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I don't know much good it'll do either of us.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Be gentle with him, Alison.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- I want higher.- You want higher?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38They all say that.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41It should be 40. But I'll meet you halfway.
0:21:41 > 0:21:4435 cash, and it's yours.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47How about 33?
0:21:47 > 0:21:52- 34.- 33 and a half.- 34.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- 34.- Great. It's yours.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Ah well, he's getting a bit better.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03Though maybe James should do the negotiating from now on. Just a thought.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05What a car, look at that.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08The next destination is the town of Uckfield,
0:22:08 > 0:22:11which has been a stopping-off point
0:22:11 > 0:22:13for weary travellers for at least 700 years.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Uckfield's also home to the magnificent Oak Hall,
0:22:18 > 0:22:24which today houses the biggest collection of Gilbert and Sullivan memorabilia in the world.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Celebrating a partnership that brought us HMS Pinafore,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31the Pirates Of Penzance, and of course, The Mikado.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33# Three little maids from school are we
0:22:33 > 0:22:35# Pert as a schoolgirl well can be
0:22:35 > 0:22:37# Filled to the brim with girlish glee
0:22:37 > 0:22:39# Three little maids from school... #
0:22:39 > 0:22:44The man who's spent 50 years putting together this collection,
0:22:44 > 0:22:48which you can now view by appointment only, is Melvyn Tarran.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Hello, Mel.- Lovely to see you. Do come in.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Oh, my goodness!
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Gosh.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Yes, exactly.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08And much of what you see comes from the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company,
0:23:08 > 0:23:13founded by one Richard D'Oyly Carte, who, in the 1870s,
0:23:13 > 0:23:17brought together composer Arthur Sullivan and writer William Gilbert
0:23:17 > 0:23:23who used his background in drama to write those famously quirky lyrics.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25As a fellow collector, Melvyn,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28what possessed you to sort of suddenly catch the bug?
0:23:28 > 0:23:33It started off when I worked in London, in a hotel.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36And one of the chefs there had been
0:23:36 > 0:23:39the first trombone in the D'Oyly Carte Orchestra.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Good heavens! How do you get from a trombone to a chef?!
0:23:42 > 0:23:44THEY LAUGH
0:23:44 > 0:23:47And he was telling me about the various operas,
0:23:47 > 0:23:51so when they came to Golders Green hippodrome, I took myself off to see them.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54And that was it. I thought, wow.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Little did I know, years later, I would know these people and become friends,
0:23:58 > 0:24:02or that I'd have some of the dresses that I was seeing on the stage.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Melvyn's passion for Gilbert and Sullivan
0:24:06 > 0:24:09eventually inspired him to open a themed restaurant,
0:24:09 > 0:24:13where the staff were dressed in Victorian costume.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17But as his collection continued to grow, he kept running out of space.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Which eventually brought him here to Oak Hall,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23as it's just down the road from his house.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28One of the things that I really love is this little decanter.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32And this was what Gilbert used to put his nightcap in,
0:24:32 > 0:24:34and take to bed.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- It's a whiskey noggin. - Ah, right, right.- A wee noggin.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42And at very smart dinners, you'd have a white wine glass,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44and you'd have a red wine glass,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47and there would be a whiskey noggin there.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51So you could have whiskey with your dinner and pass away on the wine.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- Why is it called a noggin, do you know?- I think it's just a rather nice colloquial measure.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Onomatopoeic, yes.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00And here's another fun fact.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Despite their 25 year partnership,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Gilbert and Sullivan didn't actually get on.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Their very different personalities
0:25:07 > 0:25:12made them a great professional pairing but not great friends.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16I don't know if you've seen the film Topsy Turvy, Mike Leigh's film.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Yes, of course, I did see it.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Of course, Jim Broadbent took the part of Gilbert.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23A wonderful actor.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26This is his underwear that he wore in the film.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28This is the sort of thing you collect, you see!
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- This is...- It's not the sort of thing I collect!
0:25:32 > 0:25:38- I don't want Jim's underwear, really, at all!- You're on your own here!
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Thanks a million, Melv!
0:25:41 > 0:25:47And on this happy note, it's time that our two maids should be off.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Determined to pick up one more auction lot before the day is done,
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Katie and James are visiting the same shop their competitors were in earlier on.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05And guess what they've fallen in love with?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09You see, when I first saw that, I thought it was some sort of sledge.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- It looks like a sledge, doesn't it? - It's actually a double saddle.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Everybody wants one! You know, you go down the high street...
0:26:16 > 0:26:18You could hang it on your wall.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- You told me you only need two bidders.- You do. Oh, help.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- Where do we find two bidders for that?- All right, fair enough!
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Excellent question.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31But rather than ponder the answer,
0:26:31 > 0:26:36these two are instead off to negotiate the £45 ticket price.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Tell me.- £30.- £30.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46I think it's got a chance at 30, but I think it's got a slim chance.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- If it helps you, it can be £20. - 20, OK, that certainly helps.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Do you want to do it?- Yep. - Do the deal, then.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- I think I might have 20 quid in my pocket. Hold on.- We'll shake on it.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Ooh, look what I have in my pocket! - Thank you very much.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02That's your change from earlier!
0:27:02 > 0:27:05While the price is definitely right,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Katie and James still have their doubts.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12So what better way to reassure themselves than to try the saddle out?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15That's ridiculous.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Stop!- On a passing tourist!
0:27:17 > 0:27:20So that's definitely what it's not for!
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Oh, God, you poor thing, are you all right?
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Perhaps now might be a good time to leave town fast,
0:27:26 > 0:27:30and I'm thinking it might be fastest to take the MG.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Maybe not!
0:27:36 > 0:27:40As the sun rises in England's picturesque South,
0:27:40 > 0:27:44the pressure is on for our celebs and experts alike to find
0:27:44 > 0:27:47that special something and make a bucket-load of mullah.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51It's very nice, all this dappled sunlight, isn't it?
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- It's going to be a corking day.- Yes.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00So far, both teams have barely touched their original £400 stake,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03though they have spent a small fortune on lattes.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05We've got a bit of money to splash around today.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07We could go crazy, James, we could go crazy.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Yeah, stir crazy.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Katie and James have parted with £100 for three auction lots.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Mark you, one of them could be a fake.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17God, is it right?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Oh, I don't know.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22As for Tom and James, well,
0:28:22 > 0:28:27they've spent even less than their competitors, the skinflints.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32Just 62 smackers. Also for three auction lots.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36I'm hoping that we might find something kind of spiffing today.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37- It would be nice.- Yes.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Yeah, just hold that thought.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41As our first stop this morning
0:28:41 > 0:28:44is the lovely town of Westerham in Kent,
0:28:44 > 0:28:46where the shopping really is quite something.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Westerham has always been famous for its antique shops,
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- there's quite a few here.- I see.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Of course, Winston Churchill used to live near here.- Ah, yes.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Indeed he did, James, in the fabulous Chartwell Manor.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03And this neck of the woods was also home to Alice Liddell,
0:29:03 > 0:29:07the girl who inspired Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
0:29:09 > 0:29:15Now, enough of this encyclopaedic stuff. Your next shop awaits.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Oh, look at that! Ah, now.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Here's something from my past. HE CHUCKLES
0:29:23 > 0:29:28These things here are called Marcel waving irons.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32And you heated them in a gas flame,
0:29:32 > 0:29:34and then you spun them round to cool them.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38I came from a family of ladies' hairdressers. So I know all this.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40And then you curled the hair.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44My father was a great hairdresser, he won prizes all over the place.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45- Really?- Yes.
0:29:45 > 0:29:50And apparently he wouldn't have been a great fan of Tom's current hairdo.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54This catastrophe at the moment is because of a movie called Batman.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58- And they cut all my hair off. - Really? What, really close?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Yeah, really close, much closer than this.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- And so it's just slowly growing back. - Growing back!
0:30:04 > 0:30:05People do double takes.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08My wife screams every time she sees me.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12So, while the girls talk about their hairdo and do their nails,
0:30:12 > 0:30:15team Derham headed north-west.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- Any idea where we're going?- No! - No, it is the Wacky Races.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23I am Penelope Pitstop. You could be either Dastardly or Muttley.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25I'm more Muttley!
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Despite having no sense of direction,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Katie and James are en route to Goudhurst,
0:30:30 > 0:30:32which is old English for "Battle Hill".
0:30:34 > 0:30:37And it's in this locale that they're about to discover
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Finchcocks Musical Museum.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46Housed in this fine Georgian manor, and boasting a fabulous collection
0:30:46 > 0:30:51of more than 100 of history's most important keyboards,
0:30:51 > 0:30:54this musical journey begins with the harpsichord.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Take it away, Alistair!
0:30:56 > 0:30:58This is the harpsichord room.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02The oldest, in fact, is this one here from the late 1600s.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- Wow.- Made in Naples.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06The interesting think about Italian instruments
0:31:06 > 0:31:10is the instrument itself was removable, so in other words,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13all this here you can take out of the box.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18Normally you take it out with other string players or wind players,
0:31:18 > 0:31:21and you play it in the room, and when you'd finished
0:31:21 > 0:31:25you'd put it back in the box, close up the front and close the top.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- Oh my word! - Which is equally decorated there.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- That is amazing. - Is this original?- Yes.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Now, as their appearance might suggest,
0:31:35 > 0:31:38these exquisite-looking instruments were at the time
0:31:38 > 0:31:41considered quite the status symbol,
0:31:41 > 0:31:45often boasting elaborate painting and the highest standards of craftsmanship.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49The harpsichord was an instrument for the extremely well-off.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Nobility and aristocracy.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53For the average person,
0:31:53 > 0:31:57you'd have to work for five years just to pay for one of these.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02Curiously, the harpsichord was designed to be played standing up.
0:32:02 > 0:32:07And as it happens, someone in this room is no stranger to the keyboard.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10I'll give you a hint. It's not James.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Did you learn to play the piano originally?
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Yes, I learned to play the piano from when I was about five.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19I wanted to beat my big brother, usual story,
0:32:19 > 0:32:21he was having lessons so I wanted them too.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23I played a lot as a kid, but like all of us,
0:32:23 > 0:32:26you're busy with jobs and families and don't play as much.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29I think the last time was probably when my daughter
0:32:29 > 0:32:33wanted me to accompany her singing songs from Glee.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- Lovely! - So not really harpsichord style!
0:32:35 > 0:32:38# Just a small-town girl
0:32:38 > 0:32:41# Living in a lonely world... #
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Actually, we don't have any sheet music for Glee,
0:32:45 > 0:32:47but how about a bit of Bach?
0:32:47 > 0:32:49We could do a mash-up.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- That's the hard one. - Is it? Well, Katie's good.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Famous last words. The complete cycle.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Ahh!
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Wow.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13I'd love to be able to do that, just go and see some music and do that.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- Only play it properly! - Is it very different?
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Oh, it's a complete... it feels completely different.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- You did pick up quite a hard piece! - I'm sorry!
0:33:24 > 0:33:28- That's one of the hardest pieces. - Is it really the hardest bit?
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Where's the Bach equivalent of Chopsticks?!
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Sorry, it was just the one that was there!
0:33:35 > 0:33:39By the 19th century, the harpsichord was very much out of fashion.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Suddenly the piano was all the go.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Thanks in part to one key breakthrough.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Rather than plucking strings as the harpsichord did, it strikes them with a hammer.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51This one was made in Vienna.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56And unlike modern piano which just has two pedals, this has six.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Oh, good Lord!
0:33:58 > 0:34:02And even more unusual, it has its own built-in percussion.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05DRUM POUNDS ALONG WITH MUSIC
0:34:06 > 0:34:11- Geez! Where did that hit? - Well, it did all sorts of things.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16What it did, a drum head hit the soundboard underneath.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Under the strings here. These bells were activated.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Nobody wrote for that, though, did they?
0:34:21 > 0:34:26Was that just an added extra, if you were feeling a bit virtuosic,
0:34:26 > 0:34:27you bring in a bass drum?
0:34:27 > 0:34:31All these kind of gimmicks were something the English didn't approve of.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34But for some unknown reason, they were very popular in Vienna.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37They were used essentially for dancing.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41So when you had this piano and you had your friends round for a dance,
0:34:41 > 0:34:43you had the built-in percussion section.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46So this is the piano you'd have had in the dance hall?
0:34:46 > 0:34:47- That's right.- Great.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51Although, if you were looking to party in the 1760s,
0:34:51 > 0:34:54then perhaps this chamber organ,
0:34:54 > 0:34:58which stands 12.5 feet high, would be just the job.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59It is a two-person job.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02In other words, you have the player, who was the squire,
0:35:02 > 0:35:05and then the poor lackey, the servant,
0:35:05 > 0:35:08would have the job of pumping the wind at the side.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- Pumping the wind?- Yes. - You know what's coming, don't you?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- Poor lackey!- Go on!
0:35:15 > 0:35:18As the lackey, I'll pump the wind.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21And on the keyboard, it's Katie Derham.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25So, what's it to be this time? Bach? Mozart? Chopin?
0:35:25 > 0:35:29SHE PLAYS "I DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEASIDE"
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Actually, Katie, poppet, maybe it's time to stop believing
0:35:36 > 0:35:38and give someone else a go.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41I can play it with one finger. You can do better than that, Alistair!
0:35:41 > 0:35:45- I'll try the chords if you want. - Try the chords, go on.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- Are you OK?- Yes, I'm happy.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50He's about to have a heart attack and I'm about to be upstaged!
0:35:50 > 0:35:53So, once again, take it away, Alistair.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55HE PLAYS TUNE MORE PROFESSIONALLY
0:36:03 > 0:36:04It's normally water.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Keep going!
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Oh, dear, that's awkward. Get the oxygen.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18Unable to find that special something in Westerham,
0:36:18 > 0:36:22Braxton and Conti are headed in a leisurely fashion yet further north.
0:36:22 > 0:36:27- I wonder what the others have bought? - Yes, I haven't a clue.
0:36:27 > 0:36:32James plays things quite close to his chest.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34I was about to say...
0:36:34 > 0:36:38I'm not going to say anything about Katie's chest!
0:36:38 > 0:36:43Oh, no. We don't want any of that. This is a family show!
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Our next stop on this celebrity road trip
0:36:45 > 0:36:47is the small village of Brasted.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51It's here you'll find Courtyard Antiques,
0:36:51 > 0:36:55which, as it suggests on the tin, is three separate buildings
0:36:55 > 0:36:57surrounding one central courtyard,
0:36:57 > 0:36:59and it's home to 23 different dealers.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04So that could make negotiations a tad complicated.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Thank you, Hopkins. Very well done.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11Great shades!
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Mark you, the lads seem to be quite taken
0:37:14 > 0:37:18by the first thing they've seen, this rather striking bust.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Though I have just one question. Who on earth is it?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Lenin, isn't it? Is it Lenin?
0:37:24 > 0:37:26No. Vladimir Lenin?
0:37:26 > 0:37:30Russian revolutionary and creator of the Soviet Communist Party?
0:37:30 > 0:37:32It is certainly not him.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35I love these big busts.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36Who is it, Tom, do you know?
0:37:36 > 0:37:43- Signed by artist, but it doesn't say. French plaster, it's plaster.- Yes.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- Given a sort of bronze finish. I can't resist busts.- Really(?)
0:37:47 > 0:37:50I like them myself! LAUGHTER
0:37:50 > 0:37:56What? Oh, God! James, you're so naive.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59You see, I'm such a nice innocent.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Much as I love a little double entendre,
0:38:01 > 0:38:05the boys need to get a wiggle on because the competition is just next door, literally.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- That's lovely.- Sweet little thing. 18th century mahogany pot cupboard.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- We know what kind of pot they're talking about.- Yes, the potty pot.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15How much?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- 985!- Geez!
0:38:18 > 0:38:21I've got 300 smackers in here, but not 985.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23You could get a proper toilet for that.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Just as well there's plenty more to see, then.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32And before long, James is once again drawn to the Orient.
0:38:33 > 0:38:38Though he's not a huge fan of the price tag, £195.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Would this be a sort of copy of a Chinese style?
0:38:41 > 0:38:46Yeah, Chinese, but the styles were traditionally taken
0:38:46 > 0:38:50from one generation to another.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55So whereas, we often say today, a lot of the Chinese are faking things,
0:38:55 > 0:38:59in earlier periods, the fact that it had an 18th century mark
0:38:59 > 0:39:03but was made in the 19th century wasn't necessarily to fool,
0:39:03 > 0:39:05it was just in homage.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09But this really is late 19th, early 20th century.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Let's just find out how much it is.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- Has it got a price on it? - What's the best that could be?
0:39:18 > 0:39:21I'm looking for a fabulous deal here.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- Something to make us jump up and down with joy.- 165?
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- That's not fabulous!- 160, I guess.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- 160.- The best I could do. - 160, 160.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32What was it marked as?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Mm.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36OK, all right.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40So, in other words, let the search continue.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- Oh, you're not going to buy that, are you?- Oh!
0:39:43 > 0:39:46It's a catastrophe. No, I wouldn't advise that.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Don't worry, we're not!
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- You are now an expert, like me. - Absolutely.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52I know everything there is to know.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56- Did you buy anything this morning? - No, we can't find a damn thing. Oops!
0:39:56 > 0:39:58No, we have not.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00It's a worry, it's a worry.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05- We can't stand around chatting. - Tom, shall we leave them to it?
0:40:07 > 0:40:08Braxton has an agenda.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11He still wants to get his hands on that bust,
0:40:11 > 0:40:16despite the fact no-one, including me, knows exactly who it is.
0:40:17 > 0:40:22Most busts tend to be of monarchs, politicians or...composers.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26- It's very interesting how... - That's just a bust of a bloke.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28It's a bust of a bloke.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32How would we go about identifying it, if it is someone of any note?
0:40:32 > 0:40:38Erm, you would... National Portrait Gallery would be probably the first.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- It's French, though.- Well, it's quite an exciting thought, isn't it?
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- Yeah.- It'd be quite good fun. - It's a race against time.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48But if our chappie here turns out to be someone famous,
0:40:48 > 0:40:51well, there could be good money to be made!
0:40:51 > 0:40:54So what have we got on the back?
0:40:54 > 0:40:58We've got a sculptor's name here, signed, and dated 1887.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Look, there's the opposition. They're looking at a vase.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Well, let's buy that quickly before they do!
0:41:04 > 0:41:08- What did Flaubert look like? - I don't know. I don't know.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11He does look of that era, though, doesn't he?
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Slightly more comfortable... What era? 2010?
0:41:14 > 0:41:19- 2010! I hope not. - It's a real antique. Very old.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Uh-oh. Ignore those two. The important questions now are -
0:41:22 > 0:41:27can you put a name to this face before the auction?
0:41:27 > 0:41:31And - have you seen the price tag? It says £395.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35Well, it would be an adventurous purchase.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37- It would be a bit of fun.- Mm.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Shall we ask Tom what... Fingers crossed, shall we ask what...
0:41:41 > 0:41:43- What his best price is? - Well, it'll be...
0:41:43 > 0:41:47I did tell you there are 23 dealers based in this antiques centre,
0:41:47 > 0:41:51and it seems most of them are here today.
0:41:51 > 0:41:56But which one will it be to give our boys the best price? Let's see.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Hmm, not her. She definitely won't.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02Not her.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Not him.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08The man in the cap! Yes! It's him!
0:42:08 > 0:42:12- Put it up for 395.- Yeah.
0:42:12 > 0:42:1525%'s about...about me limit on that.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Er, love to be able to help you, but...it's what it cost me.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22- Don't drive yourself into a corner, sir.- I... I'm pretty... - LAUGHTER
0:42:22 > 0:42:24I'll be honest, I'm pretty much in that corner at the moment.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- It's a gamble for us. - It's a gamble, yeah.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30We'd like to do a sort of quick scramble tomorrow
0:42:30 > 0:42:32and try and identify it.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34- Yeah.- It would be lovely...
0:42:34 > 0:42:37if you could do 250.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39That's a very short profit.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42I'll push it down to 280. That's really...my limit.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46- We can just do that...can we? - If you can do 280.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Ooh, James. You don't look too sure, mate.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52OK. Yep.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54I hope I've done the addition.
0:42:54 > 0:42:59- No, we can, Tom. That's fine.- Are you OK with that?- Yeah. Well done.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- Thank you.- Thanks very much. - Thank you.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Excuse me, I'm just going to pop out and have a cry. I won't...
0:43:06 > 0:43:09So, now it's a race against time,
0:43:09 > 0:43:14as Braxton and Conti try to discover the identity of our mystery man,
0:43:14 > 0:43:18and at £280...I sure hope it's worth the gamble.
0:43:20 > 0:43:25Now...in this shop at least, news travels fast.
0:43:25 > 0:43:30- They've been buying!- Oh, have they? - They bought the bust. - Do you think they did?
0:43:30 > 0:43:33They did, yeah. Right, the pressure's on now.
0:43:33 > 0:43:38Yes, James, it is. But you do have £300 in the coffers.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41So don't be afraid to spend it, eh?
0:43:41 > 0:43:43Oh, £160!
0:43:43 > 0:43:45- Lot of money for a ladle, isn't it?- It...
0:43:45 > 0:43:48Maybe it's a special magic ladle, I don't know.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50It's quite heavy.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52A bit of weight to it. Isn't that what you say?
0:43:52 > 0:43:57Yeah. Absolutely. That's what we're looking for. Ooh.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01- It's possibly the ugliest clock I've ever seen in my life!- That is vile!
0:44:01 > 0:44:04Whuh... Whuh...
0:44:04 > 0:44:06- 210.- Oh!
0:44:08 > 0:44:12I looked at these. Tinsel pictures. But, believe it or not,
0:44:12 > 0:44:14these are really quite collectible. Erm...
0:44:14 > 0:44:16Phew, it's a lot of money.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18So, after much consideration,
0:44:18 > 0:44:24what big-ticket item are Katie and James going to go for?
0:44:24 > 0:44:28- What's this bronze lion here? - Oh, yes. Yes.- How much is that?
0:44:28 > 0:44:31- I'll do that for 55. - Can we have a look?- Yeah, sure.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33£55. Is that it, then?
0:44:33 > 0:44:37- He is quite a handsome fellow, isn't he?- I think so.- He's smiling at us.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40And I think it's one of those,
0:44:40 > 0:44:44- "What are we going to get our godson for his 21st?" type items.- I can...
0:44:44 > 0:44:48- Know what I mean?!- I can imagine it in one of those very fine,
0:44:48 > 0:44:52- big country houses as a desk weight. - Yeah.
0:44:52 > 0:44:56- So, OK, go on, then. - I'll sell it for 40.- 40?- Yeah.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58- 40.- I'm happy with that.
0:45:01 > 0:45:05- And I clearly am the expert here! So...- I think that's fair enough.
0:45:05 > 0:45:10- 35 and you've got a deal!- You're screwing me, it's got to be 40. It's GOT to be 40.- What do you think?
0:45:10 > 0:45:14- You heard me already, I...- If the auctioneer's going up in fives,
0:45:14 > 0:45:18give us a pound off for luck, and we might make a pound out of it.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22- Got it for 39?- Yeah. Deal? Sounds better, that's all.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25Well, let's hear it for the last of the big spenders!
0:45:30 > 0:45:32Right, then. With the shopping done,
0:45:32 > 0:45:36let's motor on, as it's time to reunite our contestants.
0:45:37 > 0:45:41- There's great ambient heat in this car, isn't there?- Yes.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43Is it on fire? LAUGHTER
0:45:43 > 0:45:46Team Conti and Team Derham,
0:45:46 > 0:45:50please reveal to each other what you bought.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52What do you think to that?
0:45:52 > 0:45:54Look at that, isn't that special?
0:45:54 > 0:45:58- Fine bit of painting.- This is what you got very excited about.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01I thought it was all right, but I think it's probably Worcester.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03I think it should be Worcester.
0:46:03 > 0:46:08- Ah, I see!- A little ring box. Isn't that pretty?
0:46:08 > 0:46:10I would say...around 150.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12We paid 50. Well done. >
0:46:12 > 0:46:16- That's a terrific profit, if that's the case.- If it... If it... Whoo.
0:46:16 > 0:46:22As for Tom and James's mystery man, no news yet, I'm afraid.
0:46:22 > 0:46:23- Hello!- Yes...
0:46:23 > 0:46:25- HE LAUGHS - Do you recognise it?
0:46:25 > 0:46:27We like this gentleman.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30"How much is that?" "I'm afraid it's sold," was the response.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33So who do you think is going to bid for him? Tomorrow.
0:46:33 > 0:46:37- Probably no-one.- Obviously a lady or a gentleman of taste.
0:46:37 > 0:46:42Someone who's looking for something imposing to put on the hall table.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45- Yes, and pretend it's their great-grandfather.- Exactly!- Exactly!
0:46:45 > 0:46:49And then there's this. What do you think, James?
0:46:49 > 0:46:52Is it real or a very good fake?
0:46:52 > 0:46:53I think it's 19th-century.
0:46:53 > 0:46:5819th-century, yeah. That's what I thought it was.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01As opposed to...2005, that most of them are!
0:47:01 > 0:47:06The Chinese are quite... They're after certain things, aren't they?
0:47:06 > 0:47:09They love their jade and things like that.
0:47:09 > 0:47:14To what extent they're busily buying their 19th-century bronze, I don't know.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17- Yeah, this was our second item! - Oh, good Lord!- Ooh!
0:47:17 > 0:47:21- Ooh, matron, what's that? - They're good!
0:47:21 > 0:47:23Oh, that's a hair ornament, isn't it?
0:47:23 > 0:47:25Oh, Katie. And you were making such good progress.
0:47:25 > 0:47:29- The clue is in the gloves. - Stretching fingers?- Yeah.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32Altogether I would say...£80.
0:47:33 > 0:47:37- I think they're worth that at least. - Hope so.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40- We paid 28.- Did you?!
0:47:40 > 0:47:43I think that, so far, is the best out of all of them.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46< Righty-ho. Are you ready?
0:47:46 > 0:47:51What you need to remember with this is you don't realise how much every home needs one of these.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53Are you ready to be ridden?
0:47:56 > 0:47:57There we go.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00Apparently it's an Afghan saddle. Afghan saddle.
0:48:00 > 0:48:04When I saw this I suddenly had this vision of all sorts of people
0:48:04 > 0:48:07with wonderful sort of expensive loft apartments
0:48:07 > 0:48:09- wanting interesting things.- Mm.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12And somebody might spot that and think, "Great towel rack."
0:48:12 > 0:48:15- Towel rack, absolutely!- You know! Or perhaps a plant holder.
0:48:16 > 0:48:19A certain curiosity, really. "What the heck is that?"
0:48:19 > 0:48:24It would be a good talking point, wouldn't it, in your flat?
0:48:24 > 0:48:28We've gone for a bit of Oriental. It is the most...
0:48:28 > 0:48:29Ooh, that's pretty.
0:48:29 > 0:48:33- < That's lovely. But broken. - It is broken.- >
0:48:33 > 0:48:35If you shoved that in a tank
0:48:35 > 0:48:37and extracted the 22-carat gold,
0:48:37 > 0:48:41there is more than £22 of gold on there.
0:48:41 > 0:48:45And that's the attitude I love to hear from an antiques expert.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48- Soak it down.- There's a couple of grams of gold in there.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50Look at this fella.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53- He looks as though he's got a bit of age.- > < He looks Regency.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56It would make a nice paperweight.
0:48:56 > 0:48:57It would.
0:48:57 > 0:49:01- It's really nice.- Imagine that in a big country house, on a smart desk.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03Go on, what do you think?
0:49:03 > 0:49:05- 40 quid? - I think they're quite crafty.
0:49:05 > 0:49:09Yeah, I was going to go 30 to 50 they paid for it.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11- How much did you pay? - They're a bit good today.
0:49:11 > 0:49:16- 40 quid. No, 39!- 39.- 39. - Well done, Tom!
0:49:16 > 0:49:18That's very good. >
0:49:19 > 0:49:22- And the last one. > - And the last one.
0:49:22 > 0:49:23Oh, this is such a trick.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26Look at this. That's a really good trick.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28Oh, well done.
0:49:28 > 0:49:29Very good.
0:49:29 > 0:49:33Do you know, we should have dropped that lion, shouldn't we?!
0:49:33 > 0:49:35Very sweet.
0:49:35 > 0:49:38I just love everything that's slightly over-engineered.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40Now, 99...
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Why? Why is that, James?
0:49:43 > 0:49:4799% of occasional tables have four legs.
0:49:47 > 0:49:51- This one, six. - What's happened to this leg here?
0:49:51 > 0:49:54Don't worry about that. Don't you worry about that. >
0:49:54 > 0:49:56That leg's been off.
0:49:56 > 0:49:57Has it? Yeah.
0:49:57 > 0:50:01- They've had his leg off. - Well, good job it's got another five!
0:50:01 > 0:50:05Well, QUITE a positive reception there.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07But what do our competitors really think?
0:50:07 > 0:50:10You see, if I walked into a house and saw a bust,
0:50:10 > 0:50:12- I'd say, "Who's that?"- Yeah.
0:50:12 > 0:50:16- We don't know.- No.- Yet. Maybe we'll find out. But we don't know.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19And, yes, he's a handsome and serious-looking fellow,
0:50:19 > 0:50:24but unless you're going to lie and say, "That was my great-grandfather, he was a mill owner, you know,"
0:50:24 > 0:50:26or, "He was a composer..." Yeah...
0:50:26 > 0:50:29I like it actually, I like it, but it was an awful lot of money.
0:50:29 > 0:50:33I like it, I think it's striking, but I think it's too much.
0:50:33 > 0:50:38- It's great fun to have bought that saddle thing.- It is funny, isn't it? - They had more guts than we.
0:50:38 > 0:50:44I must say, his enthusiasm, I think, for the Chinese incense is a bit misplaced.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46In my experience they haven't...
0:50:46 > 0:50:51You know, the Chinese are after certain things. The ordinary they tend to skirt over.
0:50:52 > 0:50:56After kicking off in Lewes,
0:50:56 > 0:50:59sadly our Celebrity Road Trip comes to an end
0:50:59 > 0:51:01in Wandsworth, South London.
0:51:01 > 0:51:06And it's here at Criterion Auctions that Katie Derham and James Lewis,
0:51:06 > 0:51:09Mr Tom Conti and James Braxton now gather,
0:51:09 > 0:51:13each team hoping to fetch London prices
0:51:13 > 0:51:16and of course be declared the winner.
0:51:16 > 0:51:20- This is your first auction?- It's the first one in about 20 years.
0:51:20 > 0:51:23First time I've ever tried to sell anything.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25And hopefully it won't be the last.
0:51:26 > 0:51:30Both teams began this journey with £400 in their pocket,
0:51:30 > 0:51:33and two days later Team Conti has spent
0:51:33 > 0:51:37an impressive £342 on four auction lots.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40Team Derham, meanwhile, has been a little frugal,
0:51:40 > 0:51:46parting with just £139, also for four auction lots.
0:51:47 > 0:51:51Now, it may look like no-one's actually turned up for the auction,
0:51:51 > 0:51:54but the bidders are here, they're just hiding.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56So, let the auction begin.
0:51:56 > 0:51:59First up it's James and Katie's Chinese incense burner,
0:51:59 > 0:52:04which we're now all convinced is 19th-century.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07At 50. 30.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10- 20 if you like. - Come on.- Ten?
0:52:10 > 0:52:11Ten is bid.
0:52:11 > 0:52:15- At £10, and we're away. - Oh, not 10.- 15. 20. Five.
0:52:15 > 0:52:1930. Five.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21- At 35.- No!- At £35.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24- Come on, come on. - GAVEL BANGS
0:52:24 > 0:52:27The good news is, that's a £5 profit.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30And the bad news? There's still commission to pay.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33- That's poor. - That was our big hope.
0:52:33 > 0:52:34HE SNIGGERS
0:52:35 > 0:52:39Next it's Team Conti's inspired lot of ladies' gloves
0:52:39 > 0:52:42and a pair of Cantonese glove stretchers.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45Interest at 40 and 5.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47- At £45.- 45?
0:52:47 > 0:52:4950 now, well done.
0:52:49 > 0:52:54- Come on, come on.- Keep going. Come on.- At £50, are we all done for 50?
0:52:56 > 0:52:58That's all right, there's a profit.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01Steady little work, though.
0:53:01 > 0:53:02Come on, cheer up, Tom.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06That's still a £22 profit, pre-commission.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09Meanwhile, Team Derham's next great hope
0:53:09 > 0:53:11is this Venetian brass paperweight.
0:53:11 > 0:53:14At £20 somewhere? Tenner? Ten is bid. 15.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16- Ohh, what?!- 20. Five. 30.
0:53:16 > 0:53:20Five. 40. One more.
0:53:20 > 0:53:26- Five. At £45 now. - Come on.- At £45.- Come on.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29At £45, are we done? At 45.
0:53:32 > 0:53:37I won't lie... it's not looking good. Is it?
0:53:37 > 0:53:41So, on we go to that six-legged table.
0:53:41 > 0:53:46An Edwardian inlaid-mahogany occasional table... SHOUTING
0:53:47 > 0:53:51Which James Braxton is now risking a small hernia to display.
0:53:51 > 0:53:56- He's a desperate man.- Yes, it's true. - A tenner if you like. Ten is bid. 15.
0:53:57 > 0:54:00At £15, are we all done? Six legs, have a look.
0:54:00 > 0:54:05- At £15, are we all done for 15? - Ooh, lovely and heavy it is.
0:54:05 > 0:54:09Lovely and heavy. He's a strong lad. At 15.
0:54:09 > 0:54:10Away we go, at 15, and gone.
0:54:11 > 0:54:15Oh, don't worry, James. There's a medicinal brandy on the way.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18See, that's why you should never hold up items.
0:54:18 > 0:54:19I killed that one.
0:54:19 > 0:54:25And, despite the excruciating pain, I'm afraid that's still a loss,
0:54:25 > 0:54:28putting Team Derham into first place.
0:54:28 > 0:54:32And now these two are hoping that the Royal Worcester inlay
0:54:32 > 0:54:37of their jewellery box will finally get this lot excited.
0:54:37 > 0:54:41Again with interest, 55 gone. At £55, are we all done for 55?
0:54:41 > 0:54:4360, I'm out. Five.
0:54:43 > 0:54:4670. Five. 80.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48Five. Don't stop.
0:54:48 > 0:54:5285, we're at the back now, 85, are we done? 90.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55Five. 100. Ten.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58110 way back, at 110.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01Oh, my. Look at that. This party's off the hook!
0:55:01 > 0:55:0640. 140, telephone's money.
0:55:06 > 0:55:08Are we all done at 140?
0:55:12 > 0:55:14- Well done. Well done. - That's OK, isn't it?
0:55:14 > 0:55:16It's more than OK, Katie.
0:55:16 > 0:55:20You've just made £90 profit before commission. Wow.
0:55:20 > 0:55:25Mind you, this satsuma dish can't fail to make a profit,
0:55:25 > 0:55:28as James and Tom didn't pay a penny for it.
0:55:28 > 0:55:3350 if you like. And here to go. 20, then. 20 is bid.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36At £20... That's not bad.
0:55:36 > 0:55:40At 20. Five. 25, new place, we're sure?
0:55:40 > 0:55:44At £25, then. Are we all done at 25?
0:55:46 > 0:55:49It is a profit. Because we bought it for zero.
0:55:49 > 0:55:54A much-needed win for Team Conti. But they're still on the back foot.
0:55:54 > 0:55:55And next it's the item
0:55:55 > 0:56:01Katie and James believed loft-living Londoners will go crazy for.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04It's the Afghan saddle.
0:56:04 > 0:56:08And £100, frame. At 100. 50.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10- 40.- No! No!
0:56:10 > 0:56:1530... 30 is bid. At £30 now. At £30.
0:56:15 > 0:56:18- Are we all done for 30?- Come on!
0:56:18 > 0:56:19Come on!
0:56:19 > 0:56:22Help the cause... At £30 somewhere.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25At 30. Ooh, five, in competition now.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28- 40.- Come on!- Thank you.
0:56:28 > 0:56:30- At £40, come on, please. - That's better!
0:56:30 > 0:56:33- Are we all done at 40? - It has to be more than that.
0:56:33 > 0:56:34GAVEL BANGS
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Ah, well.
0:56:36 > 0:56:40Perhaps London's not quite ready for Katie's interior design tips.
0:56:40 > 0:56:44Finally it's Tom and James's bust.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46And, in case you're wondering, the research has been done,
0:56:46 > 0:56:51- so we can now reveal the mystery man is... - DRUMROLL
0:56:51 > 0:56:53Augustine Gilsen.
0:56:53 > 0:56:56A not-so-well-known Belgian bloke
0:56:56 > 0:57:00who was high up in the tram business. Ha! So, any takers?
0:57:00 > 0:57:04Interesting deed. 150 I have.
0:57:04 > 0:57:08- It's in at 150! - 160 here. 160. 70. 80. 90.
0:57:08 > 0:57:12190 now. Five I'll take. 200.
0:57:12 > 0:57:14- Go on!- At 200. Don't stop, at 200.
0:57:16 > 0:57:1720.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19Hello. Someone's on the blower.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21Perhaps to Belgium.
0:57:21 > 0:57:23240...
0:57:23 > 0:57:25Oh, no. Wrong number.
0:57:25 > 0:57:29- That was much better than it could have been.- Much better.
0:57:29 > 0:57:32It wasn't such a catastrophic loss.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35That's right. Still, at least you haven't gone...bust.
0:57:35 > 0:57:37- TSSSSH! - Thank you. Too kind.
0:57:37 > 0:57:41- Well, that's it.- That is it. - That's the last lot, folks. - I think we're up...as a group.
0:57:41 > 0:57:44- Aren't we?- I don't know.
0:57:44 > 0:57:47Oh, dear. Well, allow me.
0:57:47 > 0:57:49Both teams began with £400
0:57:49 > 0:57:54and, after commission, Tom Conti's foray into the world of antiques
0:57:54 > 0:57:57has seen him make an overall loss of £71.40.
0:57:57 > 0:58:02So Tom and James end their road trip with £328.60.
0:58:02 > 0:58:04Such a dirty shame.
0:58:04 > 0:58:07As for the lovely Katie Derham,
0:58:07 > 0:58:10the cautious approach has obviously paid off.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13After commission, she and James have made a profit of £74.20,
0:58:13 > 0:58:17giving them a grand and winning total of £474.20
0:58:17 > 0:58:21and enough time for another hair flick. Ooh.
0:58:24 > 0:58:26What do you think?
0:58:26 > 0:58:30Well...I hate auctions.
0:58:30 > 0:58:31I hate them!
0:58:31 > 0:58:36- But you're an auctioneer.- I know, it's not good, is it?
