0:00:02 > 0:00:06- Some of the nation's favourite celebrities...- Sensational!
0:00:06 > 0:00:09- ..one antiques expert each... - I know what you need.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11You need a history book!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13..for one big challenge -
0:00:13 > 0:00:17who can seek out and buy the best antiques
0:00:17 > 0:00:19at the very best prices...
0:00:19 > 0:00:21What is the man saying?
0:00:21 > 0:00:24- ..at auction... - 55. A new bidder. Thank you.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27..for a big profit further down the road?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Who will spot the good investments?
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Who will listen to advice,
0:00:32 > 0:00:36and who will be the first to say, "Don't you know who I am?"
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Time to put your mettle to the pedal!
0:00:42 > 0:00:46This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Yeah!
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Yeah, you're right! This is a 1963 Aston Martin.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58It moves. No, it purrs, actually.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00And how could you possibly beat that?
0:01:00 > 0:01:06Well, with two achingly cool icons of the silver screen...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09..and sexy with it.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13MUSIC: "James Bond Theme"
0:01:13 > 0:01:17It is difficult to hear the words "Bond Babe"
0:01:17 > 0:01:20without thinking of her.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23She's the original Avenger turned Bond girl
0:01:23 > 0:01:25turned cool Britannia legend.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Get out of here!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30She's Miss Galore.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33She's Honor Blackman.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Now, how much do you know about antiques?
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Well, I really don't know that much about antiques,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43but I opened some storage boxes, and I found photographs of myself
0:01:43 > 0:01:46the size of this car.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49And this erotic Nordic goddess
0:01:49 > 0:01:52has been in our hearts since the swinging '60s -
0:01:52 > 0:01:56one-time wife to Peter Sellers and Bond sidekick
0:01:56 > 0:02:00in The Man With The Golden Gun. Look at that tummy!
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Do we need to discuss my age?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06She's Miss Goodnight. She's Britt Ekland.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09You've had some marvellous cars, haven't you?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13I have, yes. My first car was a Lotus Elan.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17My second car was a Bristol Viotti.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21My third car was the brand-new Mercedes,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24and then I had a Maserati Ghibli,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26and in one of my sheds...
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Wow! Two sheds!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32As celebrated and capable as they are,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35we can't expect these fabulous girls to go it alone.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38So we've got them some eye-candy!
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Oh!
0:02:41 > 0:02:45He's a veteran auctioneer and road-tripper,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48but he's occasionally lost for words.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- THEY LAUGH - He is mounted with nuts.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55He's now fully recovered. He's Charlie Ross!
0:02:55 > 0:03:00That is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02And I know what you're thinking -
0:03:02 > 0:03:07who's this daring, demonstrative Derbyshire dandy?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Well, I tell you, he's a fine young auctioneer.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11He's Charles Hanson.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Cross-breeding rabbits with chickens?- Yes.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- And it worked?- Of course not.- Oh!
0:03:16 > 0:03:20OK, so he's not the sharpest tool in the box.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24And, whilst the Bond babes enjoy their cool wheels,
0:03:24 > 0:03:30our experts have to make do with a petite 1967 Triumph Vitesse.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32My dad had one of those.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35We are with two of the most famous actresses
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- to have been on the big screen. - I can't wait, Charlie.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42I really can't wait. You and I, we are going on a double date.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:03:43 > 0:03:49I hope that my antique expert is not a young man.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It's been over 25 years since I last had a young man,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55so let's hope that he's old and fat.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I don't want mine to be old and fat.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I want him to be very knowledgeable, to make up for me,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05and I hope, er, fun, sense of humour, that's all.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Hot, hot, hot! - THEY LAUGH
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Now, you be careful what you wish for, girls.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Now, let's see where we're going.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Cambridge kicks off the competitive road-tripping,
0:04:19 > 0:04:23ending at auction in glorious Greenwich, southeast London.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25So, today's mission begins
0:04:25 > 0:04:28in this handsome, sundrenched university city...
0:04:30 > 0:04:33..home to punting, cycling, studying,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35and, hopefully, shopping.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Be careful of the bicycles. There's a lot of bicycles here.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- How do I look? - You're looking absolutely gorgeous.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- You've had a haircut, haven't you? - Well, I thought,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46we're meeting some serious talent.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Might as well try and look the part, OK?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Shall we pull a pose? - Best behaviour.- Absolutely.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Ladies!- Hello!
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Hi. I'm Charlie.- Hi! Britt.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Hello!- Lovely to meet you.- And you.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- How's her driving? - It's absolutely brilliant.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Is it? - It's a very difficult car to drive.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I'm sure it's not easy. Allow me to take your coat.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Are you a car person, Honor? - I liked motorbikes, but not now.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Oh, dear, I'm all of a flutter! Now, we've got to pair up, girls.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- This is what we do. - Eeny, meeny, miny, mo?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20SHE RECITES RHYME IN SWEDISH
0:05:21 > 0:05:24There we are.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- What is all of this? - I think he's lost for words.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Why don't I go with Britt, because, you know, I'm the younger one
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- of us two, and a bit more... - Oh! My word!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Charles, how could you?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Honor, I will be honoured to take you shopping.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44And you come shopping with me. Let's leave these two.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- All right.- After you.- I knew it!
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- I knew they'd give me the young one. - I'm delighted.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Good luck, everyone - especially Britt. You'll need it.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56You've got £400 per team, instructions to shop,
0:05:56 > 0:06:01and remember, if you're captured, we must deny all knowledge
0:06:01 > 0:06:03of your actions.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Oh, my God! How long have you had your licence?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- About ten years.- Ten years?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I'm quite in control.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I think driving an iconic lady to me is just priceless.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17More than any antique in the world, I've got you in the car with me.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19We're talking antiques now, aren't we?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21We are. Sorry. Sorry.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Almost too good weather to be shopping, isn't it?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27The kind of shopping I can't bear is for clothes.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- This, I'm really looking forward to. - Look in the window. Do you see...
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- I know!- So many things!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Ooh, yes!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38You're going to have to concentrate. It's not going to be easy.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43- There's so much to choose from! - We'll find something. After you.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Are you courting?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47No. That was beautifully put.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Oh. Are you looking for love? - No. I've got a dog.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55Crikey, Charles! You're not wasting any time, mate. Moving in!
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Oh, my goodness! Look at that. - Do you like it or not?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- No.- Thank God for that! We're on the same wavelength!
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Yeah.- I have to say, that's awful, isn't it?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08There's so much!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I know! There really are loads of items
0:07:11 > 0:07:15in David Theobald Antiques' crowded shop.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20And here for your shopping enquiries is owner Mr David Theobald himself.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Honor!- Yes?- How's it going?
0:07:23 > 0:07:28Um, delicate shapes don't seem to work anymore
0:07:28 > 0:07:30for the present generation,
0:07:30 > 0:07:35and it's the present generation in general that's buying.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Yep, I'm afraid it's us delicate people
0:07:38 > 0:07:41who like the delicate things, darling.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45David, what I know is popular
0:07:45 > 0:07:50are great plates that you put on the kitchen wall,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52pretending to be a farmhouse.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55So many people build wonderful kitchens,
0:07:55 > 0:07:59and that's what they try to achieve. Do you have anything...
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- There are one or two in the window. - Are there?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Forward. Lead me!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Ooh! Well, we're just getting started,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08and Honor has a plan already.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13Look. That's a decent-size one, and it's in beautiful condition.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- I like that!- So do I. - It's Davenport Stone,
0:08:16 > 0:08:181810, 1815.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Now, that's what I call a proper antique.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Potter John Davenport began making his fine earthenware from 1785,
0:08:24 > 0:08:28and this handsome, decorative meat dish
0:08:28 > 0:08:33is a fairly early example, hence the price of £215 -
0:08:33 > 0:08:38almost as much as a joint of meat would cost today to put on it! Hah!
0:08:38 > 0:08:42The label with the price on it is very faded.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- You mean it's been there for a long time.- Exactly!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47You've hit the nail on the head. So do you think it was priced
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- a little high to begin with? - Well, I don't know.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54If you bought that, Honor, I would be right up behind you.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Don't let it slide off, whatever happens.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00So, the pressure's on, Honor.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Is this the big plate you were hoping for,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05and can you risk the investment?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08What are we trying to do? Are we trying to make money?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Make money. Make money.- I love that,
0:09:11 > 0:09:15but unless David can do that for nearer £100,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17you're going to be risking a lot of your money.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Presumably you can't do that for £120.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- It's a loss.- Think of the tax man!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26He'd be so cross if you showed a loss in your book.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29If I gave you a couple of photographs, you could sell them.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33A signed photograph of Honor Blackman!
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Well, in that case, yes!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38THEY LAUGH
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Honor, you're a star. You're a pleasure to shop with.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44100...and 20.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Thank you very much indeed. - 120.- Yeah.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I thought we were getting it for 100.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- Oh, 100? I did say 120 in the end, didn't I?- Did you?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- I'm afraid I did.- OK. Right.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57If it sells for 110, you can shoot me.
0:09:58 > 0:10:04Well, a licence to kill already! Not bad for a morning's work.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Well done, you! What did you want? A big plate.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- What have we bought?- A big plate.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- You bought a proper antique. - Can't be bad.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Well done to you both. The day's just beginning,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20and there's a chunk of the early 19th century
0:10:20 > 0:10:22in your swag bag already.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26However, Britt and Charles have yet to find an antique -
0:10:26 > 0:10:28or, indeed, a shop.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31If I could be a born-again man,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34and I could choose any male specimen - Roger Moore.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- If you ever see him, just tell him that, OK?- I will.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40He is the ultimate male, in my opinion.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- He was gorgeous!- Absolutely.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Sean was your rough-and-ready, but Roger was smooth and sensual.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Roger was, like, sophisticated. - Oh, yeah.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- He was a sex object.- He was. He was.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55If we ever go for physical, I'd go for more...
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Suave.- No!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Skinnier.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02That's good.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05They don't come much skinnier than you, Carlos.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09But this is not a date. I'm sorry, everyone - especially Mrs Hanson.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Look! Look, look. Antiques! - Oh, my goodness!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Excellent.- Let's do it.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Steady!
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Hold on. Hold on. It's done on purpose so I can escort you out.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23You're such a gent, Charles.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Well, he tries to be.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Hold on, Britt. Can't open the door.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I'm sorry about this. Just push on your door a bit, please.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33SHE LAUGHS
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Charles!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Just push down on the handle. Just pull that really hard.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear! Gets a celebrity - now look.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Think about it, Hanson. Why isn't the door opening?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Anybody got a coat hanger? Look out. Here she comes.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Oh, that's good.- Come on. After you.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Quite nimble. So, that went well, Charles!
0:11:56 > 0:12:01But you have at least found a shop. Welcome to The Hive,
0:12:01 > 0:12:04with Bill and Julia in attendance.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08There's some really nice things here, Britt. Let them talk to you.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Let the objects talk to you. - This I know nothing about.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14There's an Egyptian bronze of a royal lady,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16and that's fourth-century BC.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19It came from the time of the great age of the pyramids.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22That's history, isn't it? When you look at these things,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26you think, my goodness me, they can go back 2,000 or 3,000 years,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28and you can handle them and believe that history.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Doesn't that get you excited? - No. It does not excite me.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Oh, dear! Top marks for trying, Charles.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37However, you might need to try even harder!
0:12:37 > 0:12:39This girl knows what she likes.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I hear what he says. I understand what he says.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- But we don't have the same taste. - I think we do.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48When we talk about taste, what I mean is...
0:12:48 > 0:12:53The things... I can see something specific, as can you.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Yes. - We might not see the same object.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Yes. We have a chemistry. - We have a chemistry, yes.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02And it stops the minute the camera goes off.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Yeah. Yeah.- He's a married man.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07His wife wants children.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Right!
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Let's leave this awkward, embarrassing modern relationship,
0:13:14 > 0:13:18and relax with something more old fashioned - like Charlie Ross.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Forward into battle! - I'm afraid I'm not Sean Connery.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25THEY LAUGH I'll just have to do today.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27ENGINE ROARS Oh...
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Sorry about this. ENGINE COUGHS AND STARTS
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Look! The Cambridge Antiques Centre. This is where we need to be.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Indeed it is, Charlie,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42with owner Steve here to help you -
0:13:42 > 0:13:44although perhaps you've met before.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- You're giving me a knowing look. We've met before.- A long time ago.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- How long ago?- 17 years.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- Is this a good thing or a bad thing? - He's smiling, so it can't be bad.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57We used to come to your saleroom a lot. You came to my house
0:13:57 > 0:14:01when I moved, because I couldn't take all my stuff with me.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- You sold most of it, and got me jolly good prices.- Good prices!
0:14:04 > 0:14:07That's a stroke of luck. He's going to look after us.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10In my experience, and knowing what I know,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I'd say there's good karma here.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Very decorative little pine miniature chest.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Well, it's more like a wash stand, because it's got a shaped back to it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25But I love the almost oak-leaf, maple-leaf...
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Traditionally Victorian in its style.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32A rather sweet and simple piece at £88.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36But will it turn Honor Blackman's discerning head?
0:14:36 > 0:14:41You look as if you're...sniffing as if you've found something.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I've seen something that just might be a possibility.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49I thought it would make a little jewellery casket
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- for someone's bedroom.- I would change its knobs, to begin with.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- It's very decorative on the top. - It's only spoilt by the knobs.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- You can always change a knob. - Yes, yes.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03THEY LAUGH
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- So, what do you think? - It's very good for the purpose
0:15:06 > 0:15:11you suggest, and it would help somebody like me.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14One necklace gets caught up with another necklace.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18He says, "For God's sakes, hurry up!"
0:15:18 > 0:15:20HE LAUGHS
0:15:20 > 0:15:22And you can't disentangle it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Do you know what I think it will make at auction?- I'll guess.
0:15:25 > 0:15:2765.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29You're very good at this, aren't you?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Steve, is there a monstrous discount on this,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- or is there a shaving to be had? - Not for you, Charles,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37but for Miss Blackman.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Ooh!- I'm cosying up.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I'm going to leave the room.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44For you I am going to half the price.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47£88, so how about 44?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49SHE SCREAMS You're lovely!
0:15:49 > 0:15:52No, no, no. You're supposed to say, "How about 40?"
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Ah! I have to do that? I'm not very good at that.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- You have to haggle.- Yes.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- You've haggled for me. Thank you. - You're welcome. It's my pleasure.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Such is the allure of the Bond girl,
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Steve has actually haggled himself down to £40!
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Charlie will be proud.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I heard her squeal. What happened?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16We can have it for 40.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Miss Blackman, ten out of ten! - Where's the money?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Oh! So like a woman!
0:16:21 > 0:16:23HE LAUGHS
0:16:23 > 0:16:28Another able acquisition from our antiques Avenger.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31No wonder our dithering double agents
0:16:31 > 0:16:33want to creep up on the competition.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Those two, they're worse than children!
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- I can see Pussy Galore!- What about the chap that played Goldfinger?
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Oh, he was a very nice man. He said, "How do you do?"
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- And then Gavin and Gert said... - Go find out!
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Go! Go!
0:16:50 > 0:16:52SHE HONKS HORN
0:16:52 > 0:16:55What is going on here? THEY LAUGH
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- How are you?- Very well. - We are cruising. We are happy.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02We are content. Are we in your way here?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Not in the slightest. - Yes, you are. Yes, you are.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- Oh, yes, you are. Sorry. - You want us to go?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Yes. Well, no.- Fine. OK.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- THEY LAUGH - Fine.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- These girls! - We have to do what we have to do.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Well said, Honor. With nothing yet in their swag bag,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Britt and Charles must get to work.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- You think I should wear moisturiser? - Of course you should.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I'm a real man.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Yeah, and then you'll look like a real old man soon, as well.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I like this.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Me, too. I have one in cut crystal, and the top is silver.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I think it's something which... Although it's plated,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43people will say - young, retro, Greenwich Market...
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I'm an expert at this. What you do is,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48put your crushed ice in here.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52You put one measure of plain vodka.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57- Wow!- Then you put a quarter measure of peach schnapps,
0:17:57 > 0:18:01and then you put one full measure of cranberry juice,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04then you do the Tom Cruise. Cha-cha-cha!
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Ah, so it's shaken but not stirred!
0:18:06 > 0:18:09It's excellent. My favourite drink in the world.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- How much is it?- £18.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- Too much?- Yeah.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16For £10. It's got to be worth 25, surely.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- What's the best you can do? - Don't tell him.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Very best, for you, £10 note.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- OK, fine.- I'm hoping we might be able to offer eight.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- I don't know. - We'll split the difference. Nine.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- OK. What do you think? - Do you know what?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I think it's a fairly... ought to be a safe bet.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- I'm 100 percent with you. - Shall we go for it?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Yeah.- And a cocktail from it as well later on,
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- made by your fair hands? - That can easily be arranged.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Oh, my God. What do you think? £9? Going, going...
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Buying it.- Bing! - Gone. We'll take it.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Congratulations, Britt and Charles. A purchase finally made.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56But are you keeping up with Pussy Galore, etc, next door?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58You can't usually go wrong with a bit of silver,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01and I've just spotted those pepper pots.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04And those are modelled as capstans from a ship,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06and there's a set of four of them.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09I think they would almost double up as salt and pepper.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Post-war, 1948.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15They're 98. I'm going to whisper to you, then I'm going to run away,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17because you are the ace negotiator.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20HE WHISPERS
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I think that sign means "try it at 50" -
0:19:23 > 0:19:26quite a drop from £98.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30However, coded hand signals could be a good tactic today.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Bill would probably show me the door,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35and probably give me a good spanking,
0:19:35 > 0:19:39but see if you can do something on those. I have faith in those.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- I'm going to run away.- Now, Bill,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44what do you think you could do for these?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I'd go 80. £80.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- That's a good price.- That's all?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Could you make it 70? - 75, and we've got a deal.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Charlie? Bill can do it for 75.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- We've got to be hard here. Can you do them for 65, Bill?- No.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Ooh, he said that very quickly.- £70.
0:20:07 > 0:20:0970 quid. Do you like them, Honor?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Yes, I think they're charming,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13and unusual beyond belief.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Great! We've got a deal.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22Meanwhile, Britt and Charles have a view to a killer item at £39.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Right. Let's just look at these... Oops!
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- Oh, my God!- Sorry, Britt.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- These are Cartier cards. - I know.- Priced at 39.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Heard of Cartier? - What do you think I'm wearing?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35A watch. It is Cartier. Sorry, Britt.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Oh, the ring's Cartier!- Idiot.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You are just a classy... Come back.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- I'm sorry! Come on. I'm sorry. - SHE TOOTS HORN
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Sorry!
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Look, they're gilt. They're gold, as well.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- I would say they are not very old. Now, this...- It's gold, isn't it?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Oh, don't be such an idiot.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58What do you do with a man like this? Send him back home to his wife?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- You certainly don't marry him. - No, it is gold.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I like that personally. I saw it,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06but I thought, "I'm not going to go there."
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Well, let me make it really, really tempting for you.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Um, how about a tenner?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Oh, my God!
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Oh, my goodness, gracious me!
0:21:18 > 0:21:24If you're so keen to sell them, that's really, really helpful.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Oh, no, Charles. No!
0:21:26 > 0:21:30You've just had a terribly generous 75 percent reduction.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33What kind of man would try to haggle further?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37I'm a hard man, so I would go in and offer £5,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39and just see if it's worthy of opportunity.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Absolutely not. Not for you. You ask me.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- You have no shame. - No, because we're in it together!
0:21:46 > 0:21:48There. It's on a plate for you.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- The problem I have...- Look at me.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56..is now this wonderful man has to make a living.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58We've already bought a cocktail shaker, haven't we?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Nine quid is not going to make his dinner!
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I have a pension. Don't worry about me.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05You got a pension?
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- And you can pay for your skin cream? - Absolutely.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13And for you, the price can be £5.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16But please don't haggle anymore.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I never haggle!
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Group hug!
0:22:20 > 0:22:23I'm sorry about that, sir. I hope you don't mind.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- I don't mind at all.- Sorry, Steven.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Being kissed by Charles is not everybody's cup of tea.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31We usually just go for handshakes on the Road Trip.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33When you did the Bond films,
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Sean Connery was actually driving the cars, presumably.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Yes.- I'm now feeling suitably nervous, driving you along.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44There's a guy who's bought my helicopter out of Goldfinger,
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- and he's waiting to give me a ride. - Oh, how fantastic!
0:22:48 > 0:22:51I'm waiting for him to give me a ride, yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Doesn't Cambridge look lovely in the afternoon sun?
0:22:55 > 0:22:59So unassuming, so tranquil, so learned!
0:22:59 > 0:23:01So full of spies!
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Once the scene of the most serious espionage scandal
0:23:07 > 0:23:09in modern British history.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- What was that old job? - Oh, that famous actress...
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Oh, yes.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17In a dastardly double-plotting detour
0:23:17 > 0:23:19from their shopping assignment,
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Honor Blackman is bringing our Checkpoint Charlie
0:23:23 > 0:23:25to the library of Cambridge University,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29uncovering the archive of Britain's secret history,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31or history of secrets.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Here they come.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38There! Allow me, ma'am. There's a man waiting for you.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40No ordinary man.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44He's on the inside. He's librarian John Wells,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46so try not to blow his cover.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- Charlie Ross.- Very nice to meet you. - John, Honor Blackman.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- Welcome to the university library. - Thank you.- Come on in.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57The library has existed since the early 15th century,
0:23:57 > 0:24:01but is now contained in this handsome modernist structure,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04built in the 1930s,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07which was Cambridge University's most politically tumultuous period,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10with some frankly dodgy students.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13So, this is the Cambridge Five -
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Burgess, Philby, Maclean, Blunt, and the fifth man, Cairncross.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22These are the student record cards which were compiled by clerks
0:24:22 > 0:24:24in the university offices.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28And you can see that it's just very standard academic careers.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30They were recruited here in the 1930s.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- They were spying for Russia. - But how did they get at them?
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Did they meet somebody having a drink in a pub, or...
0:24:37 > 0:24:42Well, Cambridge in the 1930s was a hotbed of Marxism and Communism.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45The Communist Party at the time was seen as the bulwark
0:24:45 > 0:24:48against the rise of Hitler's Germany.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Cambridge has always been a training ground
0:24:53 > 0:24:55for Britain's political elite.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59With the great ideological schisms of the early 20th century,
0:24:59 > 0:25:03spymasters turned their eyes to the new generation
0:25:03 > 0:25:05of potential political players.
0:25:05 > 0:25:11Burgess graduated to work for the British Embassy in Washington,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15with Maclean working at the Foreign Office in London,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17both passing information to the Soviet Union.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22The pair famously vanished without trace in 1951.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26A press conference in Moscow five years later
0:25:26 > 0:25:30confirmed their defection, but there is evidence of spying
0:25:30 > 0:25:33reaching way back into our past.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35This is a 12th-century manuscript,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37beautiful Anglo-Norman script.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41It's William of Malmesbury's History Of The Kings Of England,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44and it includes the story of Alfred the Great,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46and one story every school child used to know
0:25:46 > 0:25:49is that he was a spy for a short part of his career.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52When he was hiding out in Athelney, with Danes all around,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55he needed to know more about what was going on in their camp,
0:25:55 > 0:25:59so he dressed up as a minstrel. He hazards an enterprise
0:25:59 > 0:26:02of great daring and danger, and goes into the Danish camp,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05and comes out with all the information he needs.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07How extraordinary! And the date of that?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10That was happening in 878.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14In war, a little bit of spying can go a long way.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17I suppose spying really is common sense, isn't it?
0:26:17 > 0:26:21I mean, if you wanted to know what was going on in the other camp...
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Yeah! I mean, ultimately, over the years,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26it's saved a huge number of lives, hasn't it?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28What dull lives we live!
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Well, no. You've touched on a lot of this, haven't you?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Indeed she has.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37From William of Malmesbury to Ian Fleming
0:26:37 > 0:26:42and John le Carre, espionage has always pricked our attention,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45making great stories, novels, and, of course, films.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50And, as with all good fiction, the roots are often in real events.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52These are papers from the archive
0:26:52 > 0:26:56of a man called Samuel Hoare, who was later Viscount Templewood.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59He was an interesting man. He was a Conservative MP
0:26:59 > 0:27:02at the start of the First World War, but joined the army,
0:27:02 > 0:27:07and became first secretary in St Petersburg for MI6,
0:27:07 > 0:27:11and later sent to Italy as part of the military mission there,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- working for MI5. - What a fascinating career!
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Isn't it? Yes. This is a letter from Mansfield Cumming to Samuel Hoare,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20giving him his instructions for St Petersburg,
0:27:20 > 0:27:24and Cumming was the first head of the Secret Intelligence Service,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26MI6, as it became.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30And you can see he's signed his signature in green ink,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33and if you remember the James Bond books,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36M, the spymaster there, signs his letters in green ink.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Oh, right!
0:27:38 > 0:27:41It's a trait of MI5 heads even today,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44and John Scarlett, who until recently was head of MI6,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47has confirmed that he still signed his letters in green ink.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Why did they write instructions?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Shouldn't everything be secret,
0:27:53 > 0:27:57and only walk in St James's Park, the two of you together?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59THEY LAUGH
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Obviously you should always burn instructions after reading.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Fortunately this was often forgotten,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10hence the wonderful double-dealing archive here at Cambridge.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15Thank you very much indeed, John. It's been fascinating.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19It's now time for everyone to come in from the cold.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Cambridgeshire must provide a debriefing
0:28:23 > 0:28:26and shelter for the night. Sweet dreams, road-trippers,
0:28:26 > 0:28:30and no sleeping with the enemy - particularly you, Charles.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38It's "007" hours in the morning,
0:28:38 > 0:28:41and our happy shoppers are straight back at it.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Concentrate! I don't want you hitting barns.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Steady, Hanson. Steady! Don't kill an old man.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52You know, I don't think that people in general understand
0:28:52 > 0:28:56that being an actress and being a mother
0:28:56 > 0:28:59is probably one of the hardest professions.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- Don't you think so? - Well, I think so,
0:29:02 > 0:29:06but I think probably a surgeon might say the same thing.
0:29:07 > 0:29:12So far, Pussy Galore and Agent Ross have shopped steadily,
0:29:12 > 0:29:17spending £230 on three items - the Davenport meat dish...
0:29:18 > 0:29:21..the miniature wash stand with controversial knobs,
0:29:21 > 0:29:24and the silver capstan pepper pots.
0:29:24 > 0:29:30Honor and Charlie have £170 left to complete their mission.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Take him by the hair, and remember my...
0:29:33 > 0:29:37You couldn't do that with me, could you?
0:29:37 > 0:29:42Meanwhile, Miss Goodnight and her international man of mystery
0:29:42 > 0:29:47have played it very cool, spending just £14 on two items -
0:29:47 > 0:29:49the unstirred cocktail shaker,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52and the appropriately stylish playing cards.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Britt and Charles have a healthy £386 left
0:29:55 > 0:29:57to exchange for antiques -
0:29:57 > 0:30:00or information.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01Naughty!
0:30:04 > 0:30:07We're getting to know each other, aren't we?
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Yeah, but business is more important than knowing each other.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12We can do that after.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Now, pay attention, BBC 002.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21The road trip is relocating this assignment,
0:30:21 > 0:30:2415 miles south from spy-infested Cambridge
0:30:24 > 0:30:28to the handsome town of Saffron Walden. Yeah.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32What we have so far is very, very cheap.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36- I'll buy whatever you like for you. - OK.- But within budget.- OK.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Do we know where we are? - I haven't got a clue where we are.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43I think we're probably back where we started.
0:30:43 > 0:30:49First to make it to this rich new antiques mine are Britt and Charles.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Let's hope they can steal a lead on the day's shopping.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Here we are, Britt. This is where now we've got to really go for it.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- Last shop. - Don't put stress on me like that.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02But we've got an hour, an hour to shop.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- Let's go, Britt. - OK. Hang on. Let me get my bag.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06OK.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Just pull your handle and we'll go.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11I am pulling my handle.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Oh, no!
0:31:14 > 0:31:17This is taking valuable shopping time.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Let's think about this. If you just turn that handle there...
0:31:20 > 0:31:22But I did!
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Right. This could take a while.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Fortunately the wonderfully adept Honor Blackman
0:31:28 > 0:31:31has managed to disembark from that lovely Aston Martin,
0:31:31 > 0:31:34and has brought Charlie along to Lankester Antiques.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Paul Lankester himself is limbering up
0:31:37 > 0:31:40for some tense negotiations.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43I don't like that. But perhaps we should buy something we don't like
0:31:43 > 0:31:45but we think is very Greenwich.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Well, perhaps, but you might want to think more
0:31:48 > 0:31:51about your iconic travelling companion.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Honor, am I allowed to call you an icon?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Could you walk down the street?
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Well, some people are absolutely enchanting.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- Most people are lovely.- Yeah. Yeah.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05It was if they got drunk that it was difficult.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- Yes.- Because people feel they know you very, very well,
0:32:09 > 0:32:13because you've been on their television screens.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16I was called out for fights, of course, in The Avengers,
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- if people were drunk. Yes.- Oh!
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Ask you to dance, then say, "You can't really do it,"
0:32:21 > 0:32:25and all this, and, "I'll see you outside."
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Oh, awful! Surely no-one would want to pick a fight
0:32:29 > 0:32:31with the lovely Honor Blackman.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Still, perhaps this tough, former leather-trousered goddess
0:32:35 > 0:32:37could offer our Charles some inspiration,
0:32:37 > 0:32:40rather than fisticuffs.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44- Paul, sell us something! - There's a lot of bicyclists around
0:32:44 > 0:32:49in Greenwich, I'm sure, and here's a very ancient Lucas King cycle lamp.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52But the interesting thing is, it's a petrol lamp.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Can you imagine that? Petrol! - It's not in great condition.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- Great bit of history.- Fascinating.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01I like the idea of you on a motorbike with this.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04There's a sentimental reason. If I saw that at auction,
0:33:04 > 0:33:08I would expect it would probably make between £20 and £30.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11I'm asking 35.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13You've just said we'd get £20.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Between 20 and 35, I said.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21Mm! I've got a funny feeling that Charlie Ross is about to slope off,
0:33:21 > 0:33:23you know, for tactical reasons.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Well, I'm going to disappear, Paul,
0:33:26 > 0:33:29leave you at the tender mercies of Miss Blackman.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- I'm sure she'll be safe. But will I? - SHE LAUGHS
0:33:33 > 0:33:38You know that we can't afford more than something like £10.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Goodness gracious!
0:33:40 > 0:33:42It's terribly sad.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Could you ever go that far?
0:33:45 > 0:33:47How would you feel about giving me 25,
0:33:47 > 0:33:51so I at least get my money back, and hopefully you can make a profit.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53I have to ask the boss.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- Are you not the boss? - Well, maybe I could be today.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02Tell you what I'll do. Absolute rocky-bottom price, £20.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- How does that... - You're a good man, Paul.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09I shall call my partner.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- Charlie! - Oh, my goodness, I've had the call.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16Paul has been terribly generous. He's down to 20.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- That's fantastic, isn't it? - I think so.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22I think that's... I just love that vision
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- of you on your motorbike, Honor.- No!
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Shall we go for it? We'll have a deal.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Honor Blackman, you've done it again.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33And no need for high-kicking in the car park on this one.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Speaking of car parks...
0:34:36 > 0:34:39But if you just turn your handle to the half-past-seven...
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Pull it up. That's it. Hold it there.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45So you've now opened it. Hopefully if I do this,
0:34:45 > 0:34:47it'll open.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Brilliant. Brilliant. There you go, madam.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- Old cars!- I know.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56Yeah! Old cars and young auctioneers - a deadly combination.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Now, let's get you pair safely into an antiques shop,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02and leave the door on the latch.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- Britt, it's this way.- Where?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Right up here. Come on. - Well, you suddenly know.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13- Come on, Britt.- Put your heels on and walk the same speed as me.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Jeepers creepers, Hanson. For the first time you could be in trouble.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22What does he think he's going to find?
0:35:22 > 0:35:25You know what they say? When the going gets tough,
0:35:25 > 0:35:29you and I get going. Come on, Wonder Woman. Let's strut your stuff.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Now, Britt, you need to be productive today, darling.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Those bargains won't find themselves,
0:35:35 > 0:35:38and the shopping moments will soon be behind you.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42Actually, this is quite nice. You know you mentioned Art Nouveau?
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Look at those nice lines.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47The only thing I don't like is the gilding on it,
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- but I could live with it. - It's made by Doulton.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54It would date to around 1910, and you could use it for flowers.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57It's got a lovely rim. What was its use originally? Have a guess.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- Potty.- As a potty. Exactly.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Under your bed. What would you pay for it?
0:36:03 > 0:36:05I would say... Hmm! £23.
0:36:05 > 0:36:0739.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10And you're quite right. If we're going to make a silly offer,
0:36:10 > 0:36:13we'd offer £15 for it, because at auction,
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- it might make between 30 and 40. - Really?
0:36:16 > 0:36:19So, without being too potty about this,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22every problem has a solution, and like all dealers,
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Paul is here to help.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Britt and I both quite like this.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29It's got a certain Art Nouveau style about it.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- What's the best price?- It's £39.50,
0:36:32 > 0:36:34which isn't that dear to start with.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39What would you say if I said that you could have it for £25?
0:36:39 > 0:36:43- Absolute minimum price. - We are quite desperate, aren't we,
0:36:43 > 0:36:44sweetheart?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Well, I don't think we are that desperate.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- No. But we are really.- We are?
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Yeah, I think we are.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54I don't see that we can't just give them the money.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- No. - Just shows that we have big hearts.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- Oh, dear.- Did she say "heart"?
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Britt, have you really learned nothing from the last two days?
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Clearly Charles has failed to bring out the dealer in you.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08But maybe he's got a plan.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11If we tossed a coin, and if it was heads we pay 20,
0:37:11 > 0:37:15if it was tails, we pay 15, would you go for that?
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Have you got a double-headed coin? HE LAUGH
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- You use your coin. - We'll use an antique coin,
0:37:24 > 0:37:27over there, Paul, look. I will toss it.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29I've never done this before!
0:37:29 > 0:37:32No pressure, Britt! Well, maybe a bit.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37Look at me, look at the coin, and think what it'll come out at.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41If you get it right, it's £15.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43If you get it wrong, it's £20.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46I've got a dog. I've got to think tails.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Come on. Tails it must be.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Ready? Tails it hopefully is.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58It's tails! We've done it!
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Oh, Charles, you've finally managed to impress Britt,
0:38:02 > 0:38:05alongside your many other skills.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08# Nobody does it
0:38:08 > 0:38:13# Half as good as you
0:38:13 > 0:38:15# Baby, you're the best #
0:38:15 > 0:38:17What a sight!
0:38:17 > 0:38:19TIM LAUGHS
0:38:19 > 0:38:23Do you know, that might just be the last deal of the day,
0:38:23 > 0:38:26and with only the road ahead left to burn.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30I'm a very humble man. To be in the car with you, Britt,
0:38:30 > 0:38:33is my career highlight of the day.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36You are the ultimate... You are, in my opinion, the Bond girl.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38You are the Bond girl.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Where are we going now, by the way, Charles?
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Good question, Britt. Charles is still out to impress,
0:38:45 > 0:38:48taking Britt to see a stonking great stately home -
0:38:48 > 0:38:52not his place, sadly, to introduce her to his parents,
0:38:52 > 0:38:56but the grand, fascinating Audley End House,
0:38:56 > 0:38:58stuffed with history and secrets.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03It was once the biggest house in England.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- Did it shrink? - It was knocked down many years ago.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- Oh, I see!- Hello. Charles Hanson.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Charles, yes. Welcome to Audley. I'm David.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- And my partner in crime. - Lovely to see you. Welcome.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Tour guide David Glutton
0:39:17 > 0:39:20is here to help open some dusty, long-forgotten chapters
0:39:20 > 0:39:22in the story of Britain.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Audley End House was completed in 1603
0:39:27 > 0:39:30for Thomas Howard, the king's lord treasurer,
0:39:30 > 0:39:35a man with access to...well, quite a lot of money, I suppose.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38The very interesting fact about this house
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- is that it was built with embezzled money.- Ah!
0:39:42 > 0:39:45The man that built it was lord treasurer to King James I,
0:39:45 > 0:39:48and he was taking money out of the till,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50so he got found out. Went to the Tower of London.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- So it was almost built by a crook. - Yes.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55And this is the original Jacobean ceiling.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58It would have been plain white in those days,
0:39:58 > 0:40:01but it was embellished with colour in the Victorian period.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03See that one there? Why did they leave that one white?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- I don't know, offhand. - You don't know?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- It's a very complicated - - This is your job!
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Honestly!
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Mate, don't worry about her, OK?
0:40:13 > 0:40:17Sorry, David. Our antiques agents are deadly,
0:40:17 > 0:40:19but they're not always subtle.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21I feel almost a very small human being in here,
0:40:21 > 0:40:24just very inferior to the actual room.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26- You are.- Thank you.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29The last family lived here in the 1940s,
0:40:29 > 0:40:32after which it was occupied by the Polish army
0:40:32 > 0:40:36for a certain period, the Special Operations Executive.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39And they trained about 300 troops in espionage.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Ah! Very clever, Charles.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Suddenly your mission becomes clear.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Special Operations Executive,
0:40:50 > 0:40:53brainchild of Winston Churchill himself,
0:40:53 > 0:40:57to coordinate guerrilla warfare against Nazi invaders,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00a secret organisation of foreign nationals
0:41:00 > 0:41:02intended, in Churchill's words,
0:41:02 > 0:41:05"to set Europe ablaze".
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Let me introduce you to Ian Valentine,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11who's written a book about the Polish occupation.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- Britt.- Pleased to meet you. During the Second World War,
0:41:14 > 0:41:18this was one of the most important houses for the Polish section
0:41:18 > 0:41:20of SOE, so this whole house was a secret training camp
0:41:20 > 0:41:24where up to a hundred people were based,
0:41:24 > 0:41:27and they were learning everything from secret documentation,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30how to create legends for themselves,
0:41:30 > 0:41:32so they had to have a pseudonym as a special agent.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36They had to learn how to use explosives.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39So it was basically an underground-warfare cause,
0:41:39 > 0:41:41of a paramilitary nature.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44They were parachuted back into Poland in civilian clothes,
0:41:44 > 0:41:48because obviously they had to fit in with the landscape,
0:41:48 > 0:41:51but when they joined up with disparate resistance groups,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54they then put on uniforms again often,
0:41:54 > 0:41:56with a badge on their arm
0:41:56 > 0:42:00which said "Armia Kroyova", which is "Poland Fighting".
0:42:02 > 0:42:04And fight they did!
0:42:04 > 0:42:08The Poles overwhelmingly refused to collaborate with Hitler's forces.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Of the 316 operatives trained here
0:42:12 > 0:42:15and parachuted back into occupied Poland,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18108 gave their lives.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Together with the Polish Resistance,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24operatives fought and delivered to Britain
0:42:24 > 0:42:27the first vital intelligence
0:42:27 > 0:42:30on the Third Reich's appalling mass exterminations
0:42:30 > 0:42:33and development of the deadly V1 and V2 rockets.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Isn't this all familiar to you?
0:42:35 > 0:42:38- But I was never a spy.- No.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40I was a sex object.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43It's very interesting you say "sex object".
0:42:43 > 0:42:46There's various photographs of Polish soldiers here
0:42:46 > 0:42:48dressed as women. SHE LAUGHS
0:42:48 > 0:42:53Because what they found was that women could move around the landscape
0:42:53 > 0:42:58in German-occupied Poland, often better than men.
0:42:58 > 0:43:03In celebrating the triumphs and sacrifices of World War II,
0:43:03 > 0:43:08it's easy to overlook the bravery and efforts of our Allies,
0:43:08 > 0:43:12and to find evidence of secret wartime activities
0:43:12 > 0:43:16at Audley End House, we must search appropriately - underground.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20OK, Britt.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23Where are we going, Ian?
0:43:23 > 0:43:26This is the anteroom, below the butler's pantry in the house,
0:43:26 > 0:43:29one of the few rooms that show evidence of requisition.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31So you've got labels on the wall here
0:43:31 > 0:43:35that show "Webley .455", which is a revolver, a weapon,
0:43:35 > 0:43:38a Smith & Wesson .38 calibre, so this would have been an armoury.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41Gee whizz! It takes you back, doesn't it?
0:43:41 > 0:43:43I wasn't born in '41.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46What I mean is, maybe your training for Miss Goodnight.
0:43:46 > 0:43:50You know I didn't train as Miss Goodnight.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52- I'm an actress!- Sorry.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56Charles, you really do counter intelligence,
0:43:56 > 0:43:59in so many ways.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Thank you very much. It's been wonderful.
0:44:01 > 0:44:05- Nice to meet you both. - My torch is not working.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07Hold on. Britt, you OK?
0:44:07 > 0:44:11The Special Operations Executive, or SOE,
0:44:11 > 0:44:13lasted until the end of the Second World War,
0:44:13 > 0:44:17but as a new, chillier tussle for European power got underway,
0:44:17 > 0:44:22SOE personnel were incorporated into the developing MI6.
0:44:22 > 0:44:27This corner of Britain sure has its place in our history
0:44:27 > 0:44:30of tactical resistance and espionage.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32- Are your clothes OK?- No. Look!
0:44:32 > 0:44:34- It's a bit dusty down there. - I'm covered.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37This is antique dust. Antique history on you.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Dust is dust!
0:44:40 > 0:44:42You want to brush her off, Charles?
0:44:42 > 0:44:45Now, in the grounds of Audley End House,
0:44:45 > 0:44:48it's time to reveal your shopping secrets.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51- How was your day?- We've had a wonderful time, haven't we?
0:44:51 > 0:44:55- We've had a great time. - Shall I show you what we bought?
0:44:55 > 0:44:58- They're silver. They're pepper pots. - What do you think?
0:44:58 > 0:45:01- I like them.- They're a set of six. - Have you been drinking?
0:45:01 > 0:45:05- No. Why?- You said a set of six. - Sorry, four. Sorry, four.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07- I'm panicking now.- Don't panic.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09- We've just had a little bit of fun. - Oh!
0:45:09 > 0:45:12- Look at that! - Cocktail shaker.- Exactly.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15- There's nothing in it. - Honor, what do you think?
0:45:15 > 0:45:18- Antique? - No, I don't think it's antique.
0:45:18 > 0:45:19No.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23We are going back to a great age of jazz living. Do you like it?
0:45:23 > 0:45:25- No. - THEY LAUGH
0:45:25 > 0:45:28- Britt?- I'm sorry!
0:45:28 > 0:45:32Honor is more of a champagne lady than a cocktail girl,
0:45:32 > 0:45:35but, then, you're not here to please each other, are you?
0:45:35 > 0:45:40- Now, the good old-fashioned... - Well, we like the decoration on it.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43I saw that. I didn't like the decorations on it.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47- I didn't like the white... - No, neither did I.
0:45:47 > 0:45:51- You're absolutely in the same camp. - And it's also missing one of its -
0:45:51 > 0:45:54Oh, it's had a bit of damage, but, then, we all have damage.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57Not beating about the bush, we paid 40 quid for it.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59- That's a lot, isn't it?- Is it?
0:45:59 > 0:46:01I would... I... I... Yes.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04OK, Britt.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06It's never good to hold back on your feelings -
0:46:06 > 0:46:09and so far, you haven't.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12- Right!- We're with two strikingly beautiful ladies
0:46:12 > 0:46:15who like to wear fine things, and my dear lady here
0:46:15 > 0:46:17likes to wear Cartier.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19- Oh, right!- Oh, very bon!
0:46:19 > 0:46:23- 24-carat-gold leaf. - It's the sort of thing you might buy
0:46:23 > 0:46:25to give as a present to somebody,
0:46:25 > 0:46:28and you might pay 25 quid, if you had a nice friend.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31- These were a bargain at...- Five...
0:46:31 > 0:46:35- ..pounds!- Oh, no! Oh, no!
0:46:35 > 0:46:37THEY LAUGH
0:46:37 > 0:46:40Let's go from the sublime to the ridiculous.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42We've got a bit of Davenport.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45We are at about 1820.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47Visually, it is very pretty.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51It was marked up for nearly £300, and we paid £120 for it,
0:46:51 > 0:46:55and I know we've put our heads on the block, haven't we, here?
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Yes. But why did you tell them? I wanted them to guess.
0:46:57 > 0:47:01Because I was terrified he'd say he thought it would make 50 quid,
0:47:01 > 0:47:03but he's too much of a nice chap.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06Now, look at that.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08It's empty.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10Well, thank goodness for that!
0:47:10 > 0:47:15I have in my kitchen in Sweden a bowl where I keep bread.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19My friend Charles, he said flowers.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22Oh! Charles, what were you thinking?
0:47:22 > 0:47:25- 15.- £15.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28That is downright daylight robbery!
0:47:28 > 0:47:31- I know. - Miss Ekland, how do you do it?
0:47:31 > 0:47:37Well, I... I'm just very giving of myself.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40Honor was a very keen motorcyclist,
0:47:40 > 0:47:43- and I got very excited about the image.- I know you did!
0:47:43 > 0:47:46- Did you wear leathers?- Oh, stop it! - Sorry. Did you wear leathers?
0:47:46 > 0:47:50- Yes, of course. - From top to toe?- Yes, of course.
0:47:50 > 0:47:54- Wonderful.- So I wanted to find something relating to a motorcycle -
0:47:54 > 0:47:57the old Lucas lamp. 1910, I should think.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59- Oh, it's fabulous. - It's a real bygone.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02Brrrm! You can just see Honor going like that.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04Now there's a surprise in store for everyone,
0:48:04 > 0:48:07a freebie from Saffron Walden.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10Big-hearted Paul was so enamoured by Honor,
0:48:10 > 0:48:13she got an unexpected item for nowt.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15- Oh!- Oh, no!
0:48:15 > 0:48:18How could you, Honor? How could you?
0:48:18 > 0:48:21- He's novel!- He belongs in a pub.
0:48:21 > 0:48:25- He's just garish and ghastly... - And nasty.- But he'll sell!
0:48:25 > 0:48:28Well, a ghastly sailor rum decanter
0:48:28 > 0:48:31might be just what you need in maritime Greenwich.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34But that's what I think. What do they really think?
0:48:36 > 0:48:39- I really, really think they're in trouble.- You do?
0:48:39 > 0:48:41I do. I think they've bought one good lot,
0:48:41 > 0:48:43and that's those lovely silver peppers.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46I think that platter is going to make about £60 to £80,
0:48:46 > 0:48:48and it cost them 120.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51I love a good cocktail shaker.
0:48:51 > 0:48:55I do not like a cheap, tinny cocktail shaker.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57- Urgh! - It's got to be chic-er than that.
0:48:57 > 0:49:02But that wonderful, magical word came out - Cartier.
0:49:02 > 0:49:06Pussy Galore got pretty upset, and Charlie Ross could not believe it.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09- They thought we'd just bought an empty box.- Exactly.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11But how could I be that stupid?
0:49:11 > 0:49:15- Well done, you!- Well done, you. - Congratulations. Mwah!
0:49:15 > 0:49:20Well done, everyone. You've shopped till you've just about dropped,
0:49:20 > 0:49:23and there's only one thing left to do.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26This Aston Martin DB5, it was a Bond car,
0:49:26 > 0:49:30- because this is what I think Sean had...- That's right.
0:49:30 > 0:49:35There was an ejector seat, which I thought was rather wonderful.
0:49:35 > 0:49:39This epic adventure is entering its finale,
0:49:39 > 0:49:43as our Bond girls and antiques experts travel due south,
0:49:43 > 0:49:4746 miles from Saffron Walden to handsome Greenwich,
0:49:47 > 0:49:52in that great, great, great city of London.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55The very next day is auction day,
0:49:55 > 0:49:59and the experts, at least, have made it on time.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03- Safely delivered, Mr Hanson! - Are they here yet?
0:50:03 > 0:50:06Are you doubting that Britt will turn up?
0:50:06 > 0:50:09I'm sure she will. We had a real chemistry.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11- No, we really did. - You've got a new shirt on.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14- What do you think? - I think you look pretty dapper.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17- They're here now. - Hi, girls!- Hi, girls!
0:50:17 > 0:50:18Hello!
0:50:18 > 0:50:21Be cool, be cool. How are you, Miss Goodnight?
0:50:21 > 0:50:24- Good morning! - You're looking gorgeous.
0:50:24 > 0:50:28- Are you ready for this extravaganza? - I'm thrilled about it.- Goodie!
0:50:28 > 0:50:30Arm in arm, certainly.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34And here we finally are. The Greenwich Auction Partnership
0:50:34 > 0:50:38has been selling fine arts, antiques and collectables here
0:50:38 > 0:50:40since 1999.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45And auctioneer Robert Dodd has his own thoughts
0:50:45 > 0:50:48on today's celebrity offerings.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51What a great lot, the cycle lamp and a decanter!
0:50:51 > 0:50:54The person who collects drinks memorabilia
0:50:54 > 0:50:56will probably love the drunken sailor,
0:50:56 > 0:50:59but he don't want the lamp, vice versa.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01The shaker, I'm not sure how many people use them.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04If it was silver, it'd be worth a fortune.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07The chamber pot is interesting - really, really interesting,
0:51:07 > 0:51:13cos I don't know anybody alive today that hasn't got a toilet.
0:51:13 > 0:51:16Even Charles Hanson, allegedly.
0:51:16 > 0:51:20So, our Bond girls began with £400 each.
0:51:20 > 0:51:23Pussy Galore and Charlie Ross played it cool,
0:51:23 > 0:51:27spending a sweet £250 on four auction lots...
0:51:28 > 0:51:32..whilst Miss Goodnight and her keen young man
0:51:32 > 0:51:36got shaken and stirred, but barely opened their purse,
0:51:36 > 0:51:40spending an embarrassingly small £29 on three auction lots.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43One...two...
0:51:44 > 0:51:47..three.
0:51:47 > 0:51:52So, ladies and gentlemen, please live and let die!
0:51:52 > 0:51:54The auction is about to begin.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56- Oh, my God, I'm so nervous. - Hold my hand.
0:51:56 > 0:51:59Three lots to go. Please hold my hand.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01I need you to hold my hand.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04- So do I. First up we have...- Ssh!
0:52:04 > 0:52:07Sorry. It's Honor and Charlie's lovely silver peppers
0:52:07 > 0:52:10to kick us off. Tension!
0:52:10 > 0:52:13- Starts with me straight away on a bid of £70.- He's got 70!
0:52:13 > 0:52:1885. 88. £90. I'm out. 95 there. 100 there.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21105 there. 110 in front. Looking for 115.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24- Yes!- 115. 120.
0:52:24 > 0:52:27125. 130. Are we all done? At £130...
0:52:27 > 0:52:31- Yes!- Yeah! Give me applause, quick!
0:52:31 > 0:52:35APPLAUSE That is a sensational start!
0:52:35 > 0:52:39Miss Ekland, if we really need to shake and stir, now's the time.
0:52:39 > 0:52:42I know the feeling.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44And here it comes -
0:52:44 > 0:52:47Britt and Charles's plated cocktail shaker.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49- What did you describe it as?- Tinny.
0:52:49 > 0:52:51Tinny.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54- Well, miaow!- I'm so charming.
0:52:54 > 0:52:58Bid's with me on that at £10 only. Looking for 12 on this.
0:52:58 > 0:53:02It's worth all of that. 14. 15. I'm out. 18 there.
0:53:02 > 0:53:0420 I need. £20. Looking for 22.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Why not? You started it. You ain't pulling out now.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10£20 here. 22 I need.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13£22. I'm looking for 24. 24. One more.
0:53:13 > 0:53:16One more. £24.
0:53:16 > 0:53:20Thank you. Great. We are back in business.
0:53:20 > 0:53:24You wait till they get to my little man.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27We'll have to wait for Honor and Charlie's drunken sailor.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30However, their cute miniature wash stand is next on sale,
0:53:30 > 0:53:32and who couldn't love that?
0:53:32 > 0:53:36- I'm still not fond of it.- No.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39And a bid's with me straight away at £40.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41Looking for 42 on that. Two. Five with me.
0:53:41 > 0:53:45Looking for 48 on this. 50 with me. Looking for 55.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48- Are we all done? - Easy, easy.- Last time.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50On the little chest at £50...
0:53:50 > 0:53:53- I think you're bloody lucky. - THEY LAUGH
0:53:53 > 0:53:56Ooh! Language, Miss Goodnight. Thank you!
0:53:56 > 0:53:59And now let's raise the tone with your suave playing cards.
0:53:59 > 0:54:02It's a great lot, this.
0:54:02 > 0:54:05Looking for 18. Hello! It's Cartier!
0:54:05 > 0:54:081922. I'm out. Five here. 28.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11- £30 I want. 30.- Or more.
0:54:11 > 0:54:14- You can't buy a Happy Meal for that! - THEY LAUGH
0:54:14 > 0:54:17- 35. At £35...- One more. Yes. Bid!
0:54:17 > 0:54:20- 38 I've got. I've seen it!- Sorry.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22I've seen it. Don't get excited.
0:54:22 > 0:54:27Don't be sorry, Charles. You need all the extra bids you can get.
0:54:27 > 0:54:29We all done? This time, seated, at £40...
0:54:29 > 0:54:32Yes! Yeah!
0:54:34 > 0:54:38I suppose we could call a 700 percent profit a good day's work!
0:54:38 > 0:54:41Hats off to Britt and Charles!
0:54:41 > 0:54:44I'd like to kiss your hand. That was brilliant.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47Charlie, Charlie! That's enough.
0:54:48 > 0:54:52Now, what shall we do with this drunken sailor?
0:54:52 > 0:54:54Honor and Charlie's novelty item
0:54:54 > 0:54:57is paired with the cool motorcycle lamp.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00Let's hope one doesn't cancel out the other.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03- Will this divide you? - Nothing will divide us, will it?
0:55:03 > 0:55:06- Nothing, ever!- There you are. Ever. Did you hear that?
0:55:06 > 0:55:09Ah, this is an absolutely stunning lot, this!
0:55:09 > 0:55:12Serious, this is a big bid of £5. Looking for eight.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15- It's gone quiet. - Eight, ten, 12, 15, 18, 22. I'm out.
0:55:15 > 0:55:1822 down. 25. Done at £22!
0:55:18 > 0:55:22Give 'em a round of applause. You're taking both of these, sir.
0:55:22 > 0:55:25Don't know which you want, but you're taking both.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28A slender profit for Honor and Charlie,
0:55:28 > 0:55:31and there's barely a few pounds between our celebrity teams now.
0:55:31 > 0:55:34That's coming right down to the wire.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36Actually, it's right down to the chamber pot.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39Sorry. That was a bit ill judged.
0:55:39 > 0:55:43- Bid's with me on this at £12. - Oh!- Looking for 15.
0:55:43 > 0:55:47I've got 18 now. £20 there. 22 I need.
0:55:47 > 0:55:51It's worth all of that, madam. £22 there. Looking for 25.

0:56:10 > 0:56:14Honor and Charlie's Davenport dish is the last lot,
0:56:14 > 0:56:16and needs some sort of profit to win the day.
0:56:16 > 0:56:20Charlie, I really don't know what's going to happen.
0:56:20 > 0:56:23It could make £60, Honor. It could make £200.
