0:00:01 > 0:00:03Some of the nation's favourite celebrities...
0:00:03 > 0:00:07What if we were to say 150 for the two? Then you've got yourself a deal.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08..one antiques expert each...
0:00:08 > 0:00:10A-a-a-a-a-h!
0:00:10 > 0:00:13# Da, da, da, da, da, da, da! #
0:00:13 > 0:00:14..and one big challenge.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19Who can seek out and buy the best antiques at the very best prices?
0:00:19 > 0:00:20HE BLEATS LIKE A SHEEP
0:00:20 > 0:00:22THEY LAUGH
0:00:22 > 0:00:26And auction for a big profit further down the road?
0:00:26 > 0:00:31Who will spot the good investments? Who will listen to advice?
0:00:31 > 0:00:33What you've just come out with there, I cannot believe that!
0:00:33 > 0:00:38And who will be the first to say, "Don't you know who I am?!"
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Time to put your pedal to the metal.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44This is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Yeah!
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Welcome to Hampshire, a part of southern England,
0:00:54 > 0:00:59filled with bucolic charms, but not immune from the English summer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02I'm now driving my own little paddling pool!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04THEY LAUGH
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Gregg Wallace and John Torode create heat in the kitchen,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11and they'll be no soggy sponges when it comes to antiques.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- GREGG:- This is a competition between you and I, so obviously I'll win. - You think.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Let's just remember I am Australian and slightly competitive.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21You're also used to being secondary to me on MasterChef.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Gregg Wallace is best known as a tough taskmaster
0:01:25 > 0:01:27on the MasterChef programmes.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30His roots were in selling fruit and veg...
0:01:31 > 0:01:34..which sparked his love of food and restaurants.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38And he still makes time for fun.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Oh, yeah! This is nice, me and you hanging out, don't have to taste anybody's rubbish food!
0:01:42 > 0:01:48Aussie-born John Torode's tasted a lot in the name of MasterChef.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52A classically trained chef and restaurateur,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56he demands the best from MasterChef hopefuls.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- And nothing less from himself. - Thank you!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Charles Hanson and Charlie Ross are in their 1968 Beetle
0:02:06 > 0:02:08en route to meet Gregg and John.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Charles has high hopes.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16They appreciate the sweet and the savoury,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19we appreciate the pedigree and the condition.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22It could be a foursome made in heaven.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27It might be, especially as Gregg and John like their 1969 MG Midget.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30But Gregg has firm views on what's acceptable.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- If my one's got a cravat, I'm just walking!- Yes.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I'm not having anyone with a cravat. People with cravats are weird.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41No cravats then, Gregg, I promise. There are some things best kept plain.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44A simple guy, Charlie. I like, you know, I like toast and jam.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- You know, cheese on... - No, you like a value meal!
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Charles Hanson may eat simply but he has fancy taste in antiques.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56# He likes bread and butter... #
0:02:56 > 0:03:00He's a seasoned auctioneer with a passion for early English porcelain and neoclassical furniture.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03When it comes to plain English, it's another story.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06It's the hustle and bustle of digging deep.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08# Food, glorious, food
0:03:08 > 0:03:11# Hot sausage and mustard... #
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Put a sock in it, chaps!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17When not deafening hedgerows,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Charlie Ross is a distinguished auctioneer.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24He ran his own auction house for 25 years before going freelance.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Since then, he's sold everything,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31from Jimi Hendrix songs to Wembley Stadium memorabilia.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Even so, he can never predict when the next big find might be.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Good grief! Talk about an Aladdin's cave!
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Never mind choosing antiques. First, who's pairing up with whom?
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- This guy who is called John Torode... - Yeah.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51He is Australian, he's suave, he's charismatic, he's cool.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Why don't you get fresh with him?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Gregg is the guy who wears big glasses, he's really passionate,
0:03:56 > 0:04:01he really waxes lyrical when it comes to oozing out fine food.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I can get passionate with him and you can get fresh with, erm, John.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07You know? And that could be a good foursome.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I'm not sure about this getting fresh and getting passionate.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14No, that's definitely not in the rules!
0:04:14 > 0:04:18You know full well you get a celebrity and £400 each,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20a classic car and two days' shopping
0:04:20 > 0:04:23to see who can make the most money at auction.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Our fresh four start their road trip in Alton, in Hampshire,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35weaving their way through the pretty countryside of West Sussex,
0:04:35 > 0:04:40ending at an auction in Fernhurst, on the Surrey-Sussex border.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44The market town of Alton was home to Sweet Fanny Adams.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45HE CHUCKLES
0:04:45 > 0:04:51Yes, she really existed, until her gruesome murder in 1867.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Happily, the only danger today is our teams MAKING Sweet Fanny Adams.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Speaking of which...
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Here they are. Morning. - Good morning.- How are you?- John. - Gregg.- Charles...- Hello, John.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Gregg.- Charlie.- Hi.- Two Charleses? - A Charlie and Charles.- Yeah.- Exactly.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- You're our experts?- Absolutely. - Yeah. We know everything!- Yeah.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- JOHN:- Who's with me? - Well, guys, we thought...
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- What do you think?- We thought... - We've been thinking?! - We've been thinking.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18We were thinking in the car that you guys are quite similar.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Sorry, erm, you and me are quite similar. And John...- Get this right!
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Sorry, John! Sorry, I'll start again. We thought, in the car, didn't we,
0:05:26 > 0:05:27you didn't want to go with somebody who...
0:05:27 > 0:05:31No, you wanted somebody... I'll start again. What do we do about this?
0:05:31 > 0:05:36I just asked him who was with who, right? Can you imagine what he'll be like trying to find an antique!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- I think it's simple.- Yeah. - We shouldn't have two bald people together.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- You and I should be split up, don't you think?- Yeah, OK.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Two... One with hair and one without in each pair!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Good luck with this young whippersnapper!- He'll be fine.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- You don't like the cut of his suit. - It's a sale!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Come on, Aussie!- Let's go!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Er, you have left school, have you? - Yeah, I left school, um, about...
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Gregg and the young whippersnapper - ha -
0:05:58 > 0:06:02head for The Tiny Shop in Alton, which seems to appeal.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Oh! Croquet!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Are you a croquet player? - I love croquet.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- It's really competitive but it's real fun.- Yeah.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- And it's very, very English. - Yeah, yeah.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Hidden under this old brass...fire grate,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18you've got an all-important name hidden down there. Can you read it?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20It says "Jacques".
0:06:20 > 0:06:25Jacques was the most important maker of early 20th-century croquet sets.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- That could be a really good buy, buddy.- What about Alfred?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Alfred?- The grate. Alfred - I'm calling him Alfred.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Oh, that's clever. Alfred the brass grate.- Yeah.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- I tell you what, if I was that... - Yeah?- ..I'd be on fire. - How d'you mean?
0:06:41 > 0:06:42How d'you mean on fire?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- (On fire...?)- Keep up, Charles!
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Yeah, I've got it. "On fire", yeah, yeah, yeah, great!- Right!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Good. Great gag.- Ha!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Great gag. Get it? "Grate" gag! - We've got...- Hello, sir!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54The croquet set's priced at £80
0:06:54 > 0:06:58but Gregg and Charles are hoping dealer Rob will give them a -
0:06:58 > 0:07:00sorry - "grate" bargain!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04I reckon, Gregg, at auction, the auctioneer, the wholesale market
0:07:04 > 0:07:07would guide that set to fetch between £30 and £50.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10So I wonder if we could do a deal at 30?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13We'll put it in the car, take it away and clear your front entrance.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- See, the hand has come out straight away.- That's brilliant.- Yeah.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20You're a good man, sir. We'll take it for £30. Yeah, we like it very much.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23No need to jump through the hoops there, then!
0:07:23 > 0:07:27It's the first lot in the bag, I mean, box.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30For their antique-buying appetiser
0:07:30 > 0:07:33John and Charlie are bidding farewell to Alton
0:07:33 > 0:07:36and heading ten miles down the road, to West Liss.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42West Liss is the oldest part of the village of Liss, in Hampshire.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46It boasts all those quintessentially English village amenities
0:07:46 > 0:07:50like pubs, a playing field, a cricket club and, erm,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52an Italian wine importer.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Bypassing the wine merchant,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57John and Charlie head into Plestor Barn Antiques.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Don't get too worried about the antique side of things. We're here to make a profit.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04The barn is run by Terry McCarthy.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08They soon sniff out a find.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Brandy.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Oh, yes.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Presumably you have to have a hell of a good sense of smell? - Yeah, sense of smell and taste.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- Taste is what it's all about. - Also I've got to make up for Gregg's inability to taste food properly,
0:08:21 > 0:08:25cos he's got spoon stuck in his gob all the time, hasn't he? Right...!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Charlie sniffs out something spookily familiar.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31People love playing croquet.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Have a look at one of the mallets and see if it's stamped with "Jacques" on it.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38It says something else which I would think you might like.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39So it says...
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- Look.- Oh, yeah. "The All England". Yep. And the other side...
0:08:44 > 0:08:46"Jacques".
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I think "The All England", refers to the model, if you like,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51so it'll be their sort of luxury model.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Do you think they all match?
0:08:53 > 0:08:58A close inspection shows some parts of the set aren't original
0:08:58 > 0:09:01but that doesn't deter John and Charlie.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- I quite like it, though, you know? I mean...- It's a great thing!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Yes! But it's £195!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09At auction it would probably make 75 or 80 quid.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Really?! Charles reckoned 30 to 50.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- Complete death is 70 quid. I cannot do it for 50. - That is... No, no, no.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19A deal is doomed until John has a brainwave.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- I was thinking about afternoon tea. - Yeah.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26Maybe the person who buys it comes and has a cup of tea and a cupcake I make for them,
0:09:26 > 0:09:27and they have their photo taken.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- I think that's just a belter!- OK.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Have you got a cakestand you could throw in?
0:09:32 > 0:09:37Well, let's see what a little rummage might turn up.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I found silver-plated muffin dish.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41You could put your scones in there!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I think you'd have to dress up as a butler, wouldn't you? "Hello, sir."
0:09:44 > 0:09:49The muffin dish should be £20 but Charlie's got a hunch.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52If we gave you 70 quid, could we have a muffin dish with it?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Would that work?
0:09:54 > 0:09:5780, really. 70, and ten for the muffin dish.
0:09:57 > 0:09:5875?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01OK. I've had a quiet week! 75 it is!
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Cheers! Thank you.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Deal! It's a tasty starter for our road-trippers!
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Back in Alton, it's going like clockwork.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Oh, mate! - What have you found there, Gregg?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Look, look, look, look, look! It's a wind-up Scottie dog!
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- That's quite novel, isn't it? - I love him! Look! Rrrrr! Go on, son!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- See, he's really good, actually. - Rrr-ay!
0:10:23 > 0:10:27The dog was made by the German manufacturer Schuco,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30which achieved huge success in the 1920s and '30s
0:10:30 > 0:10:32with its mechanical tin toys.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36This little fellow doesn't have his original winding key.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38It reduces his value a bit, but not his charm.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41GREGG LAUGHS LOUDLY
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Oh, mate! I just need to buy it myself! He's brilliant!
0:10:46 > 0:10:49All I got to do now is teach him
0:10:49 > 0:10:51to pee up the next-door neighbours' marigolds and he's done!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Go on, you have a chat. - Sir, best price on the Schuco dog?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- We'll give you a chance. £10.- £10. - It's a done dog! £10 done dog!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Yeah. Are you enjoying yourself? - I'm loving it!- Really?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- This is... This is... - We have chemistry together.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Chemistry, eh? Let's test it.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- I'll tell you... I have got some antique jokes.- Have you?- Yeah!
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Tell me an antique joke. I might get this one.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Why did the Tyrannosaurus cross the road?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Erm...
0:11:15 > 0:11:18There were no chickens in those days.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Ha! If that's chemistry, I'm Heston Blumenthal!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Stick with what you know, Charles,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27which seems to be silver meat skewers.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31This skewer dates to the year 1820.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Five years after the Battle of Waterloo.- Exactly...
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- ..12 years before the Great Reform Act.- God, I love history!
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- We've got one...- Keep talking to me! - One of the Georges on the throne.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43It was made in London. That's a profile there of George IV,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46and the maker's mark is up there, GP,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50and the maker of this was a man called George Pierce.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- I just think it could be quite a good buy.- You think?- Yeah, I do.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56It's not something I would, but I trust you.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- As an amateur historian, that excites me.- Exactly.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- The hands it's been through and the era it was forged.- Exactly.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06What we've got here, around 1820, we've got political upheaval.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- A revolution's coming on from below. - Lord Liverpool's government.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Lord Liverpool's government. - This man knows his history!
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- The last great Tory government. - Mate! He's my wingman! God!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17We're living the dream and this is a dream.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Let's do it. And, look, we're in this together...- Exactly!
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- If it goes wrong, you're copping the blame.- How d'you mean?- Well...
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Ah, true team spirit there, Gregg(!)
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Anyway, you need to get the price down from £175 first.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- What's the best price on your skewer?- 60?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Would you come down a bit more at all? Would you take for this, £40?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Go on, then.- Are you sure?- Yep. - Shake his hand quick!
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Quick indeed! With the skewer, the toy dog
0:12:44 > 0:12:48and the croquet set all in the bag for £80, these guys are cookin'!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53In Liss, John and Charlie
0:12:53 > 0:12:57are still rootling through the surprising stock at Plestor Barn.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02- What about this, Charles? You seen this?- No.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I used to have this as a kid.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- It's very clever. So these are the slides, right?- Yeah.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- I think this is a collector's item. - I remember those!- Right.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- You put that in there, like that... - Yeah.- ..then you look in it...
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Yeah, look.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Brilliant.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Oh, loving it! Cornwall!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24So these are all old. I don't know how old they are but look...
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Well, John, the View-Master originated in the late 1930s,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30when its stereo images of scenery
0:13:30 > 0:13:33were intended to rival traditional postcards.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39See, I even remember having one in the 1970s when I was a kid.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41But they're beautiful. I think they're really beautiful.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43And all the bits and pieces are in there.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45And it's ten quid.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Ten quid?! There's not a lot of down side, is there?!
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Can we buy it?- Absolutely. I'm right behind you.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Shall I haggle? - I think ten quid, no haggle.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57While they're on a roll, the chaps also pick up a stamp album
0:13:57 > 0:14:00and some loose stamps, reduced from £20 to £15.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07So, signed, sealed and delivered.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10That's a grand total of £100 for the stamps, the View-Master,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13the croquet set and the muffin dish. What a mixture!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Gregg and Charles have left Alton behind them
0:14:16 > 0:14:21to follow in John and Charlie's tracks, on the road to West Liss.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23As a self-confessed jam and toast man,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Charles wants to know what makes a foodie.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Are you born with a good palate?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I think people that can't taste food can be palate deaf,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33like people are tone deaf,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35but definitely the more you do of something,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37the better your palate gets.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Just think about what you're eating.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Don't say just, "Oh, I like it" or "I don't like it".
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Figure out WHY you don't like it. - Yeah.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Gregg and Charles' second stop is Plestor Barn Antiques.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56John and Charlie are long gone,
0:14:56 > 0:15:00leaving the coast clear for some browsing...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02And that is a big one, isn't it?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05..and reflection on a relationship that's definitely defrosting.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08I actually like old Chazza. He knows what he's talking about.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12He's a bit posh at first and he uses really long-winded explanations,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15but actually he's a good guy at heart and he does know his stuff.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Indeed he does.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20And he's not short of clever ideas either.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25Look at this. You know, you're a man who was all about fresh fruit,
0:15:25 > 0:15:29and if you want fine, fresh fruit, freshly painted,
0:15:29 > 0:15:33like a canvas on porcelain, look at that.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34That's really pretty.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Hand enamelled, made by Royal Worcester.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40What does hand-enamelled mean?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Hand-enamelled - it's been painted on by the artist,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45so all the fruit, this began as a blank canvas
0:15:45 > 0:15:48and the artist sat there for maybe three, four hours,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50and has painted all of this on purely by hand.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- You're kidding me?- No. - That's beautiful.- Yeah.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- No transfer printing, nothing.- It has "greengrocer" written all over it!
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Royal Worcester has a very elaborate system of marks
0:15:59 > 0:16:04which enable experts to date each piece exactly.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07This plate was made in 1954.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09It's a bargain.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14£8. You know, it's worth its weight in fruit probably ten times over.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Sir...what's your bottom price on this?- £7.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- That's a deal. Thank you so much. - No problem.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Torode's not going to get anywhere near us.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I think Charlie Ross will be quaking in his boots
0:16:26 > 0:16:28as he sees our objects tomorrow.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33Hmm... I don't think it's quaking that's the issue right now.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- Whoa-ho! - Oh, I say, matron! Let's give it...
0:16:35 > 0:16:37That's it!
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Crikey!
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Team Torode is weaving its way, a little unsteadily at times,
0:16:44 > 0:16:49the 11 or so miles from West Liss to Midhurst in West Sussex.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Charlie's curious to know about the foundations of the Torode empire.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- What brought you over here? - I always wanted to travel the world.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I was going, "I want to live and work in Italy."
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- I wanted to cook Italian food, properly.- Yeah.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05I came to England and ran out of money. I've never left since.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10- I'm still 'ere!- You have your own restaurant?- Uh, yeah. Various...
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Which is in London?- Yeah. - Or have you got more than one?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Yeah. My biggest thing is meat. I'm a beef man.- Yeah.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I just specialise in great beef.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21You have the only surviving lot of rare-breed beef
0:17:21 > 0:17:23left in the whole world.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Every single breed has an individual flavour, so I celebrate beef...
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- Fantastic.- ..and brought rare breed back to the fore.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35After 11 miles and an awful lot of chewing the cud,
0:17:35 > 0:17:39they're in Midhurst, a market town with over 100 listed buildings.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42It's in the middle of the South Downs National Park
0:17:42 > 0:17:44and only a short gallop from the polo at Cowdray Park,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46don't you know?!
0:17:48 > 0:17:51John and Charlie are headed for Marmaduke's,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54an intriguing emporium owned by Carlo,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56who is poised to help, with dealer Ann.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01A cookery book catches John's eye straight away.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06It's a Larousse Gastronomique but you need a better version than that.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08A cookery book, signed by you.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Would we get...- I don't know... - ..Gregg to sign it?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12We could probably trick...
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Would that improve the value or detract from it?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16THEY LAUGH
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Hey! The cookbook idea takes hold!
0:18:19 > 0:18:23There are some cookbooks down there. There's a couple of Mrs Beetons.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Mrs Beeton's All About Cookery.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Yes. What's that there?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- This is Mrs Beeton's All About Cookery.- New Edition.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Yep, so this is an older one.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Oh, looks like first edition's got colour plates.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36But after checking re-sale values online,
0:18:36 > 0:18:41Team Torode decides it's not likely to make a quick buck from cookbooks.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43They're presently going for about 64 pence,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46so even at seven quid, they're over-priced!
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I don't think we're going to get much value for it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52With the cookbooks ruled out, the search for a bargain goes on.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53What is that?
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- That's a stick pin.- Oh, it's a stick pin?- Might be gold. It IS gold.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Stick pins became fashionable in the late 18th century
0:19:02 > 0:19:05as a way of securing a gentleman's neckwear
0:19:05 > 0:19:07AND displaying wealth.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Tell you what I do like about that, is the original box.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- So turn it...- It's gold... Yeah, have a look at it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- The mother-of-pearl on the other side's amazing, isn't it?- Yes, it is.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21It's quite pretty, isn't it? You like that, don't you?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I do, I quite like that.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25The stick pin is £38 - too pricey.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28OK, I'll just pass you over...
0:19:28 > 0:19:30John negotiates with the dealer.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Hi, Lynn, how are you?
0:19:31 > 0:19:36Cheekily, what would be the best price you'd do for me, Lynn, PLEASE?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Very please, please, please, please!
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- What was the verdict?- Vingt-cinq.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Vingt-cinq!- Vingt-cinq.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Twenty-five!
0:19:46 > 0:19:49They postpone a decision when Ann tempts them
0:19:49 > 0:19:52with some splendidly British flying memorabilia.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54What's this, then?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- That's the box for the goggles. They fold up.- Ah!
0:19:57 > 0:19:59So they've got their original box.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- I don't think I've seen them with their original box before.- No.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Would you like to try them on? They're amazing.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Everything goes orange.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- You've just been...- Blimey! - You've just been tangoed!
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Flying officer Torode!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17But you imagine, have the sun on their faces up there, mustn't they?
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Yeah.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Yeah.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21I'm liking this.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24There, look at that!
0:20:27 > 0:20:31HE HUMS THE DAM BUSTERS THEME
0:20:31 > 0:20:32What you could...
0:20:32 > 0:20:35JOHN LAUGHS
0:20:37 > 0:20:38That's doing it!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- That's brilliant! - That's sensational!
0:20:44 > 0:20:47JOHN SQUEALS
0:20:48 > 0:20:50That's amazing!
0:20:50 > 0:20:51I have to say...
0:20:51 > 0:20:56- Yeah?- ..the thought of John wearing that in the saleroom...
0:20:56 > 0:20:59could get the punters into a frenzied...
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- A frenzies of bidding. - Yeah, a frenzy of bidding.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Frenzy or not, Charlie has seen things like this BOMB at auction.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09He needs a reduction on the original price of £70
0:21:09 > 0:21:11to be confident of a profit.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Happily, Ann is flexible. Oh, yes.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Yes, we'd sell that for 35.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- 35?- Yes.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Well, I'll tell you what, I'm very happy at 35.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Right.- Yeah.- Deal. I think you're going to make money out of it.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29If you're that confident you'll make money out of it, we're going to make money out of it.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Let's hope so.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34With the stick pin and the flying gear, it's £60 from the kitty.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Back in West Liss,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Gregg's persistent in the face of incomprehension.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43When it snowed, me and my granddad, we used to go over Peckham Rye,
0:21:43 > 0:21:44we used to go bobsleighing -
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- one week, we managed to kill seven bobs!- You didn't?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50What are bobs? What are bobs?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Bob slaying!- Oh!
0:21:52 > 0:21:53D'you know, I don't know why,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56my mind doesn't quite click into your creativity.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- A randy lobster, he went to a disco and pulled a mussel. - CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- He laughed!- Oh, dear!
0:22:03 > 0:22:05He's giggling at my jokes! I'm wearing off on him!
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Yes, yes, that's all very well,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10but there are antiques still to be bought.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Look at this!
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Fruity - I love it.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Charles has spotted another Royal Worcester piece.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23It's a globular vase with a style of hand-painted decoration
0:22:23 > 0:22:25popular in the 1920s.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28This example dates from 1950.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It's not an antique, it's a collectible
0:22:30 > 0:22:31but it's a high-quality collectible.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33You know, Gregg, I'm going to say
0:22:33 > 0:22:35"Look, just buy it, shake the man's hand. It's ten pounds".
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Deal done.- All right, Kev. - Cheers, Gregg.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44- Cheers, Tel.- You know how we're creating margins between them and us?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48That margin is getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52We're on to a good thing. We're ripening.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53That's it...
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Well, as day one comes to a close,
0:22:54 > 0:22:59you may be ripening as a double act but successful comedy's all about...
0:23:00 > 0:23:02..timing, Charles.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Oh, well, never mind, Charles.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08We'll politely not heckle and wish both teams nighty-night.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Day two of the road trip, and Charlie and Charles
0:23:21 > 0:23:25have been discussing Gregg's background in fruit and veg.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Actually, he does look like a potato!
0:23:29 > 0:23:31He's a good chunky chip.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34If I've got a chippy chip, your man, Torode,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37what was his great asset when it came to the kitchen?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Meat.- Meat?- Meat. - So what...?- Choppy chop!
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- It's Chippy Chip versus Choppy Chop! - Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46This is the match of all matches. It's the chip on my side, against...
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Versus the chop.- Exactly. - Chip versus Chop!- Exactly!
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Chip and Chop don't seem to have such addled brains
0:23:54 > 0:23:56but they know how to wind each other up.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- So we have a cunning plan! - JOHN CACKLES
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- What's the, what's the plan? - I can't tell you.- Oh.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09You'll have to wait and see, Gregg.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13But for now, Gregg and Charles have a spent a paltry £97
0:24:13 > 0:24:15acquiring five lots -
0:24:15 > 0:24:19a croquet set, a wind-up dog, a silver meat skewer
0:24:19 > 0:24:21and two pieces of Royal Worcester.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25That leaves a princely £303 to splash out today.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Sir.- Oh.- Show me the way.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33John and Charlie have paid out £160 for four lots -
0:24:33 > 0:24:36the croquet set with silver-plated dish,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38the View-Master and stamps,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41the pilot's helmet and accessories, and the gold stick pin.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46They have a more than adequate £240 to play with today.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- Hello!- Morning!- Morning!- Morning!
0:24:50 > 0:24:52What brings you here?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- JOHN:- Don't know! Something about making some money!
0:24:55 > 0:24:57THEY ALL LAUGH
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Ha-ha-ha(!)
0:24:59 > 0:25:01After a quick rendezvous and car swap,
0:25:01 > 0:25:05our culinary, and culinaril-l-l-l-ly challenged couples
0:25:05 > 0:25:07are ready to hit the road again.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10John and Charlie are making the short hop
0:25:10 > 0:25:12to the village of Petworth, in West Sussex.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17It has some handsome houses and even rather grand street lighting
0:25:17 > 0:25:19but that's beneath Team Torode.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22They're expected at one of the finest country houses in the land.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25This is Petworth House.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Situated on the edge of a deer park landscaped by Capability Brown,
0:25:30 > 0:25:35Petworth House is a magnificent late-17th-century mansion,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38now in the care of the National Trust.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Well...
0:25:42 > 0:25:45I thought you said you were taking me to a big house!
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Well, let's see...perhaps this is the back door!
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Hello!- Hello!- Hello!
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- I'm Judy, come in.- Hello, Judy. Charlie and John.- And this what?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Servants' entrance? - Servants' entrance, yes.- Ah!
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- How appropriate!- I'm used to that!
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Sorry, John, it's the kitchens for you!
0:26:07 > 0:26:08The servants' quarters and kitchen
0:26:08 > 0:26:13were built separately from the main house, to reduce fire risk.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Wow!
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Now this is a kitchen!
0:26:19 > 0:26:22How many people would be working in a kitchen like this?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Erm, in this particular part there'd be the chef and three kitchen maids.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28On special occasions,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31there would have been up to 12 servants in the kitchen area,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34producing some 400 meals a day -
0:26:34 > 0:26:38though usually it was more like 100.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Look at the size of this thing.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Doubles up as a brass band.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Good GRIEF!
0:26:45 > 0:26:48How would you carry that with something in it?!
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Well, you'd probably have two people.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Would have one on either side.- Yeah.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Or you'd do it like this.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56You put it under your arm, look...
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Cantilever.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04This is what's called a turbotiere.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Ah.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- For turbot?- Correct.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Very...- There's something in there if you lift the lid.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Oh!- It's a bit small! THEY LAUGH
0:27:14 > 0:27:16I actually think it's a brill, but anyway...
0:27:16 > 0:27:19So, there's the fish kettle itself and there's the shape of the fish.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23And it gets dropped into it and then, like that,
0:27:23 > 0:27:27and, I mean, these things are worth a fortune.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33It's a splendid thing, but John's a man for meatier matters.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Do you know when this was put in?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Erm, probably early 19th century.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40The actual range, here, does date from Tudor times,
0:27:40 > 0:27:41so that's really old,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- but I think all this equipment was installed much later.- Right.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46But look at that ferocious thing.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- So, down the back, obviously, there'd be fuel, down the back.- Yep.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- So what you've got, you've got your main piece there...- Yep.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55So, butts of beef turning around
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- in front of quite a decent-sized fire...- Yep.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02..and then these ones, so imagine you've got rabbits or pheasants,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05or something like that from the top as that mechanism goes there.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09So, this now, here, turns around and around, and around, and around,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- and around, and around, like that...- Yep.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- ..and that's how they would cook their birds.- Yeah.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20I would imagine that when you've cooked your pig or whatever it is,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22you'd stand it in there and the juices flow into the bottom.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27I would say as you're cooking it, all the juices are dropping into it
0:28:27 > 0:28:30and this big thing here, the ladle, you'd go down the centre, like this,
0:28:30 > 0:28:35you scoop out, like that, and you'd be going, "Bastey, bastey, bastey!"
0:28:35 > 0:28:37THEY LAUGH
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Gosh...I'm salivating.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42I am as well, actually.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- Yeah, a bit of roast beef now'd be all right.- Oh, it would.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47And a tankard of beer, mate!
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Sounds good to me, but there's still one thing to be resolved.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56How did all the food get from here to the dining room,
0:28:56 > 0:28:58- which must be somewhere over there? - That's right.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Well, footmen would come and collect trays of food from the kitchens...
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- Yeah.- ..and take them through a tunnel under the courtyard outside,
0:29:05 > 0:29:08and upstairs on the other side into the main house.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- Under, un-under a courtyard?!- Yes.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14I don't like the way you're looking at me!
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Have you seen the size of those trays?- I have.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Can you imagine how tough that was?
0:29:19 > 0:29:20No.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Maybe you should find out.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24This is a serious job!
0:29:24 > 0:29:27You'd need to be an Olympic athlete to do this!
0:29:27 > 0:29:30"My partridge is getting cold, madam."
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Imagine the wine cellar down here, Charlie.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Oh, they'd have had some good bottles here.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39"Nearly there, ma'am."
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Do I serve over the left shoulder or the right, sir?
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Charlie, I tell you what, whatever is it you're doing very well!
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Splendid.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Well, thank you, it's been a real treat, it's been wonderful.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52It's been my pleasure too.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- That kitchen is unbelievable. - It's fabulous.- Unbelievable.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56I'd love to fire it up one day.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00I'd love to fire it up and do, like, a banquet in there.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- Yes, please!- You cook it, I'll eat it!
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Why don't we do that next time for our auction?
0:30:04 > 0:30:05What a good idea.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Yum-yum, count me in too!
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Out in the country lanes of West Sussex,
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Gregg and Charles are on their way to Midhurst.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Gregg has a captive audience.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21D'you hear about the Spanish fireman?
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Hold on, his name was, erm...
0:30:23 > 0:30:24- Jose.- Jose.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26And his friend?
0:30:26 > 0:30:27Hose B.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Oh, yeah, hose pipe. CHARLES CHUCKLES
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Fella goes in a pub with a newt on his shoulder,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36he says, "I'll have a pint of lager," he said,
0:30:36 > 0:30:39"and a small whisky for Tiny here."
0:30:39 > 0:30:42He said, "Why do you call him Tiny?" He said "He's minute."
0:30:42 > 0:30:43CHARLIE CHUCKLES
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Oh, my.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Hang on in there, Charles, it'll all make sense one day!
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Gregg and Charles's final shopping stop is Marmaduke's,
0:30:55 > 0:30:59where John and Charlie bought the pilot's helmet.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Gregg soon spots the cookery books that caught John's attention.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05There's an old Larousse Gastronomique here.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07What's that all about?
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Well, that is THE book on French cuisine...
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Oh, really?!- ..and every, EVERY chef owns one.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17These have been published for 100 years
0:31:17 > 0:31:19and this is an old '60s or '70s one.
0:31:19 > 0:31:25We have got, here, some copies of various Mrs Beeton's cookery books.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26Oh, right, OK.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29They're obviously a bit earlier.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31This is wonderful, how old's this?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33I suspect, looking at the binding, Carlo,
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- this must be what, 1890, 1900, late Victorian...- Around that, yeah.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39..maybe. It is pretty tired, though, Gregg,
0:31:39 > 0:31:43but it is certainly, it's an antique by definition.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47- This is 1909.- So, that's an antique, by definition.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50I think these are quite good. I mean, look at this here, you've got...
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Look at those wonderful plates, colour plates,
0:31:52 > 0:31:55they really capture the essence of good Edwardian,
0:31:55 > 0:31:59late-Victorian etiquette when it comes to dining and eating.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- You know, I think they've got potential.- All right.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06You could also, then, put that modern equivalent with them, perhaps?
0:32:06 > 0:32:09And make a nice job lot of cookery books.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- What would be the best price on the four?- Oh...- To give us...
0:32:12 > 0:32:16- I think probably...- Yeah.- I mean, they're, I think they're somewhere around the 30 mark at the moment.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17Erm, £20?
0:32:17 > 0:32:21- 20. You wouldn't come down a bit less?- Well, I'll take 15 on them.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23£15. We'll say thanks ever so much.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Thanks for your time and helping us, and we'll pay you £15, sir.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28OK.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31There's £20.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34So, John and Charlie thought the books were a turkey,
0:32:34 > 0:32:36but Gregg and Charles reckon they're a recipe for success.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39The proof, of course, is in the pudding!
0:32:41 > 0:32:45John and Charlie have traded the grandeur of Petworth House
0:32:45 > 0:32:48for the village of Petworth in search of bargains.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Phoenix Antiques! This is where it's at.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- You mean business today, don't you? - I do mean business.- Right.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Hello.- Hello, there.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57- Hi!- Hello.- I'm Charlie.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- Sarah, pleased to meet you. - Sarah, lovely to meet you.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05Owner Sarah has a young assistant, and Charlie sees an opportunity.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- Are you an antique dealer?- Yes. - That's my girl!
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Are you cheaper than your mother?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12I don't really know about that one.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Oh! I've gotta see who to deal with.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15That's it, yes.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20Charlie's negotiating strategy needs work, but he knows what he's after.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23I want a nice piece of silver, that's what I want.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- There's a chunky bit of silver. - That's quite nice.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Don't suppose Aussies use these things, do they?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30No, mate!
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Nah, we use essence of axle grease, us.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Axle grease!
0:33:34 > 0:33:37I don't use the old, er, the old squirter.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39It's in amazing condition, 1922.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- Great condition. - It is fantastic condition.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- Yes.- If you like something like that.- Yes.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Squirt your perfume on. What would that make at auction?
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- I've no idea.- Have a guess.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53I dunno. That's why I'm here, to learn.
0:33:53 > 0:33:59I think it would make about 45 quid at auction, 45-50 quid.
0:33:59 > 0:34:05The ticket price is £85, so Team Torode needs to haggle hard.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06You couldn't take...
0:34:06 > 0:34:08£30 for that, could you?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Can't squeeze you a little bit on that?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13You can squeeze me as much you like on 20!
0:34:13 > 0:34:15THEY LAUGH
0:34:17 > 0:34:19I mean, I would buy it for 30 quid.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20It can go for 30 quid.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- Oh!- Hooray!
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- I'm happy with the purchase. - I think that's very good.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Are you all right with that? - I'm really happy with that.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Well, I trust you.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32One day with you and I now trust you. That's good, isn't it?
0:34:34 > 0:34:3620...30 of the best.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37You take the money.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Where are we going now?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Well, that wasn't bad, but there's a shop down here...
0:34:42 > 0:34:46John and Charlie's final stop is less than a stone's throw away.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Charlie knows the dealer, Paul.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- 99% of Paul's things, you will want...- Yes.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53..but won't be able to afford.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- Oh, my goodness. This is beautiful. - I know.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57- Good eye.- Beautiful.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- I've seen Paul. Paul? It is, isn't it?- Morning.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01- Hello.- Good morning.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06What's this funny thing?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Oh, that's quite fun that. It's a pickle fork. That's very unusual.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14It's mid-Victorian.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19It was made, I think, in...1865, in Birmingham...
0:35:20 > 0:35:25..and you stab your pickled onion, your gherkin,
0:35:25 > 0:35:28and then you push it off onto your plate using the pusher.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Isn't that a splendid object?
0:35:31 > 0:35:36And that is so typical of the Victorian ingenuity.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38- And that's silver, isn't it? - Oh, yes, silver, yeah.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39And that's unusual.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41I mean, 99% of those are silver plate.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- And what's the, what's the handle? - Er, mother of pearl.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50It's a handsome piece but at the handsome price of £145,
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Charlie's certain an auction is not the place to make a profit from it.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55Do you want to win the competition
0:35:55 > 0:35:58or do you want to buy something that's really good?
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- "Do you want to win the competition or buy something really good?" - CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- I want BOTH! Both. I love that. - I don't talk like that!
0:36:05 > 0:36:08You'd have my 100% blessing at 100 quid if Paul can do it
0:36:08 > 0:36:13- because I... He's shaking his head. - Please, 110, please?- 115.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- Strewth!- We're going to have it.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16A pickle fork, eh?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Let's hope it doesn't get them in a...
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Well, you know where that one was going.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- Really appreciate that. I think it's a great thing.- Thank you very much.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26That's brilliant. Thank you very much.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Thanks very much indeed. Loving the pickle!
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Let's go and find a pickle, Aussie. To stab your pickle with!
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Gregg and Charles have been making their way six miles south
0:36:37 > 0:36:40to the West Sussex village of Singleton
0:36:40 > 0:36:42for a taste of history and food history.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47They're meeting up with Richard Pailthorpe,
0:36:47 > 0:36:51the Director of the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54The 50-acre site has over 50 buildings from southeast England,
0:36:54 > 0:36:58dating from the 13th century onwards.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Each one was moved from its original site,
0:37:01 > 0:37:06brick by brick and timber by timber, and painstakingly re-built here.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09An invaluable record of rural life and building methods.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12All of these buildings have in some way
0:37:12 > 0:37:14been threatened with destruction
0:37:14 > 0:37:18at some point in their previous history.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20These are the ones that, probably, the likes of you and I
0:37:20 > 0:37:22would've lived and worked in
0:37:22 > 0:37:24if we'd been around 300 or 400 years ago.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28We're very much the lower sort of status of society here.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29You're an orphanage for homes?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Yep, that's a very good way of putting it.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36In a 17th-century home, Gregg will make butter
0:37:36 > 0:37:40using the method of that time - supervised by Lesley.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42First of all, you need to milk your cow
0:37:42 > 0:37:46and then you'd leave the milk to settle in bowls like this,
0:37:46 > 0:37:50which are called pancheons, settling pans, for about 24 hours,
0:37:50 > 0:37:55so the cream that's naturally in the milk just rises to the top.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57And then you'll skim the cream off.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59The cream goes to make the butter,
0:37:59 > 0:38:01the remaining milk goes to make the cheese.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04So, what do you add to cream to make butter?
0:38:04 > 0:38:05Absolutely nothing.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08So, the most recommended technique, with your hands,
0:38:08 > 0:38:11is to use a sort of paddling motion.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Gregg's favoured technique is comedy.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16So, what cheese do you use to disguise a horse?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Mascarpone!- Oh, dear, dear! LESLEY LAUGHS
0:38:19 > 0:38:22And what did the cheese say to its reflection?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25I don't know, what did the cheese say to its reflection?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- Haloumi. - THEY LAUGH
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Come on, come on, there's paddling to be done!
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Is this safe to sit on?
0:38:31 > 0:38:35It should be, it's lasted for thousands of years.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37This is ridiculous! What about just that?
0:38:37 > 0:38:40All you have to do is agitate the cream in some way.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41All right. You are stupid cream!
0:38:41 > 0:38:43You're the worst cream I've ever seen.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47How ridiculous are you as cream! It looks pretty agitated to me.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Well, just keep on agitating it for about ten minutes.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Ten minutes?! If Napoleon had waited ten minutes
0:38:52 > 0:38:55he'd have lost the battle of Austerlitz.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- Keep going, lad.- My arm's aching!
0:38:57 > 0:39:01- Women did this all day long without complaining.- That explains a lot.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04But, as you say, back in the 17th century
0:39:04 > 0:39:06it made you a man, didn't it? It was hard work...
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Oh, yes, absolutely. - ..and it was the way to a long life.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11A long life in the mediaeval times?!
0:39:11 > 0:39:13What sort of historian are you? There's no such thing.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Long life was 40 years old, mate.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16- Keep going.- I've done it.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Yeah, that's whipped cream.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Why didn't anybody invent a whisk?
0:39:21 > 0:39:24They're idiots! No wonder people didn't live very long,
0:39:24 > 0:39:25they couldn't even invent a whisk!
0:39:25 > 0:39:26It's turning to milk again?!
0:39:26 > 0:39:30So you've got your butter curds now, separated from your buttermilk.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33You wouldn't waste the buttermilk - that would go into your cooking.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35- Oh, that...- And that's your butter.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- Wonderful.- We're going to get the rest of the buttermilk out of it
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- because it feels quite slimy at the moment, doesn't it?- Mmm.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44It still has got quite a lot of moisture in it.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46That is an AMAZING process.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48But it's that quick.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- From a bowl of cream...- Yeah.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52..to an instant heart attack.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56That process there is magical. I just feel enlightened.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Well, I'm surprised we've taught a chef like you something!
0:39:58 > 0:40:03Well, so am I! I'm not even a chef, I'm a greengrocer.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Well, now you're a dairy maid too.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- I'm going to be fancied by the local squire!- Absolutely!
0:40:08 > 0:40:09Dream on!
0:40:11 > 0:40:13After getting rid of excessive moisture,
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Gregg's butter is ready for critical appraisal.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- Can we try some?- Yeah, go on, take a bit.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Can we do it in that real MasterChef way together?
0:40:22 > 0:40:24I'll be your John Torode, ready?
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Hmm, good on the palate, isn't it?
0:40:31 > 0:40:33I can feel the texture coming through.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35It's only one texture mate, it's butter.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36Oh, yeah, butter, it's butter.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38It's unbelievably creamy.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41That's one of the most interesting things I've ever done.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43That was brilliant, my darling. Give me a kiss.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Mwah! That was absolutely brilliant!
0:40:46 > 0:40:48What a smooth operator!
0:40:48 > 0:40:51But you need to drag yourself back to the 21st century now, Gregg,
0:40:51 > 0:40:54to reveal all to Team Torode.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57Slightly disappointing.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01And I think your biggest item is a shock to John and Charlie!
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- Ah-ah-ah! What's that?- Breathe in.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- Well, what do you think?- It says...
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Oh, Jacques Ltd London - I've heard of them.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- Yeah, they make quite good croquet sets.- Apparently they do.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13How much did you pay for your croquet set?
0:41:13 > 0:41:15It's a great name, all the mallets are stamped...
0:41:15 > 0:41:17The mallets are a bit ordinary, they're beech.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21- They're not very nice. - And they're not matching.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23- How much would you pay for it? - I would pay about £35.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- Really? Not impressed, are you? - What did you pay for it?
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- £30 it cost us. - Did it really cost you 30 quid?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Do you know what they are? Those, those plates.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33They're plates and a bowl.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36That's Royal Worcester and that's Worcester.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40- I think they're a real find cos they're Royal Worcester, fruit...- Stale fruit.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- How much would you pay for them? - To make a profit at auction
0:41:43 > 0:41:47I would pay £40 for that one...
0:41:47 > 0:41:49and I would pay £35 for the other one.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52We paid eight quid for one, seven quid for the other.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Oh, no! That's cheating. That's theft!
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- This is actually...- It's a meat skewer!- Exactly, Charlie.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59This meat skewer is solid silver, it's London hallmarked.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- It's worth 120 quid. - Well, we hope so.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04It cost a bit more but not bad, is it?
0:42:04 > 0:42:06- CHARLIE LAUGHS - What did it cost?
0:42:06 > 0:42:08- Tell him.- 10p? Hang on, what did it cost?
0:42:08 > 0:42:12- 40 quid.- That's not bad... - You creep.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16- All right? All right? - YOU, Mr Wallace, are a cheapskate.
0:42:16 > 0:42:17That's very good, well done.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- We thought you're a meaty guy and you'd love the skewer. - I do like the skewer.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22- Yeah, the skewer's good. - 1820 - history!
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Always looks good through your fifth rib.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- Right, young man. - Got our work cut out!
0:42:28 > 0:42:30CHARLIE SINGS
0:42:37 > 0:42:38NO!
0:42:38 > 0:42:40THEY ALL SHOUT
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Woop-woop!
0:42:42 > 0:42:43Now, there's a story to this.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- Unbelievable.- This is Jacques...
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- NO!- It is Jacques.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50It's a Jacques box with the balls in it.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- With the balls in it.- Four balls, as you would with croquet.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55But it comes with...
0:42:55 > 0:42:57- a muffin dish...- As you do.
0:42:57 > 0:43:02..and when you've bought it, a cream tea with...
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- No, you can't do that, you can't do that.- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07All right, I'm going to sign all these books then.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10So all these books are going to be personalised by me.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13That might detract from the value.
0:43:13 > 0:43:14THEY LAUGH
0:43:14 > 0:43:16This is serious stuff, now.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18I really don't think that's fair. I want a stewards on that!
0:43:18 > 0:43:21You have a stewards on that.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25- We're right in the heart of Battle of Britain country here...- Biggles!
0:43:25 > 0:43:27- Absolutely. - ..Battle of Britain country -
0:43:27 > 0:43:29- Spitfire fighter pilot's helmet... - Well done!
0:43:29 > 0:43:33- ..original goggles, in box... - Hats off to you...- Shh!- Sorry.
0:43:33 > 0:43:34..and the Bakelite earphones.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Tell you what, that's sort of thing I'd buy
0:43:36 > 0:43:39and I'd pay a couple of hundred quid for that. You're on a winner there.
0:43:39 > 0:43:44But we also have the Aussie special bonus offer.
0:43:44 > 0:43:45- JOHN:- Yes, mate, this little package.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48Because I used to have one of those as a child.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51- You ever seen these before? - Yeah, they're brilliant.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54Yeah, it's wonderful and it's got views of Switzerland, Austria...
0:43:54 > 0:43:58- Basically, it's watching postcards through a plastic box. - That's what it is.- Yeah.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00But that's quite fun. It does it for me.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02That's going to travel an awful long way
0:44:02 > 0:44:03to go in somebody else's flip-top bin.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06- Exactly, exactly! - Anyway, look, summing up, guys.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08It's going to be a hell of a competition.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11- I think we've got two top tables here.- I love the Biggles set.- Yeah.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13I really want the Biggles set.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15"Never in the field of human conflict
0:44:15 > 0:44:16"has so much been owed to so few."
0:44:16 > 0:44:18Chocks away!
0:44:18 > 0:44:20"Chocks away," indeed.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22Will the teams let fly about each other's purchases?
0:44:23 > 0:44:27I'm still quite confident because I think they've paid a lot of money
0:44:27 > 0:44:30for certain objects that they MAY not get a return on.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32Do you know what I'm really pleased about?
0:44:32 > 0:44:35They bought those cook books and they are complete garbage!
0:44:35 > 0:44:37THEY LAUGH
0:44:37 > 0:44:38I don't like our books
0:44:38 > 0:44:41but then we paid such little money for them.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44We paid almost double for our croquet set.
0:44:44 > 0:44:45Cream tea.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48Yes, cream tea. Although, I think that might upset Gregg.
0:44:48 > 0:44:49Yeah, that's not fair.
0:44:49 > 0:44:51Only thing which could blow us away is that cream tea.
0:44:51 > 0:44:55Well, if John's allowed to sell himself with a cream tea,
0:44:55 > 0:45:00our croquet set comes with lunch with Gregg.
0:45:00 > 0:45:01- Yeah.- Let battle commence.- Exactly!
0:45:01 > 0:45:03Fighting talk, eh?
0:45:03 > 0:45:06The battlefield is actually an auction room at Fernhurst -
0:45:06 > 0:45:10a normally perfectly peaceful village in West Sussex,
0:45:10 > 0:45:13near the borders of Surrey and Hampshire.
0:45:13 > 0:45:17John Nicholson's Auctioneers hold general sales
0:45:17 > 0:45:19as well as specialist fine art sales.
0:45:19 > 0:45:20Sorry, brother.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25- Look at these two! - Are you ready for defeat?
0:45:32 > 0:45:35Auctioneer John Nicholson himself
0:45:35 > 0:45:38has cast a critical eye over both teams' purchases
0:45:38 > 0:45:41and has some firm favourites.
0:45:41 > 0:45:45The silver atomizer - gorgeous quality, lovely marks.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47I can see that making a good profit.
0:45:47 > 0:45:51Charles and Gregg's Schuco figure, that's of great interest to us
0:45:51 > 0:45:54because one of the founders of Schuco
0:45:54 > 0:45:57literally lives three miles down the road
0:45:57 > 0:45:59and we've been on the phone, told him it's here.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03So, fingers crossed, might be a little surprise there.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05The entertaining system...
0:46:07 > 0:46:11..got my doubts about that. I think it was a brave buy.
0:46:11 > 0:46:16Charles and Gregg's Worcester plate - a good buy, a good find.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19Fabulous quality, big profit.
0:46:19 > 0:46:23Biggles comes to mind, the flying helmet.
0:46:23 > 0:46:27It shouldn't make a profit, but it could make a good one.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30Hmm...I think that's auctioneer-speak for,
0:46:30 > 0:46:31"Anything could happen"!
0:46:33 > 0:46:36And here's what MIGHT make it happen.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38Both teams started with £400.
0:46:38 > 0:46:43Gregg and Charles spent a mere £112 to acquire six lots...
0:46:44 > 0:46:46..while John and Charlie have also bought six lots
0:46:46 > 0:46:51but at a rather more extravagant £305.
0:46:55 > 0:46:59First under the hammer is John and Charlie's perfume atomizer.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Charlie's detected a whiff of interest already.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04There's a lady sitting behind Gregg who likes perfume.
0:47:04 > 0:47:0620 bid...
0:47:06 > 0:47:09five, 30 , five, 40, five...
0:47:09 > 0:47:12Hey, Charles, Charles, look at this lady here!
0:47:12 > 0:47:15..50, 60, 70...
0:47:15 > 0:47:17Oh, come on!
0:47:17 > 0:47:19- ..at £70...- Madam, it's a lovely one.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22- ..80...- Marvellous!- ..90...
0:47:22 > 0:47:23Yes!
0:47:23 > 0:47:25..at 90.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28- It's a steal, madam. - At 90. Try one more.
0:47:28 > 0:47:35At £90. Your bid, sir, selling at £90.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38It's the heady smell of success for John and Charlie.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41- Brilliant!- Thank you very much. - Means you can push up all our lots!
0:47:43 > 0:47:47Gregg and Charles have high hopes for their little dog.
0:47:47 > 0:47:48Start it at ten, 15...
0:47:48 > 0:47:49Come on.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53..20, five, 30, five, 40,
0:47:53 > 0:47:58five, 50, 55. 60...
0:47:58 > 0:47:59Keep going, keep going!
0:47:59 > 0:48:03..at 70, 80, 90...
0:48:03 > 0:48:07- Yes! Yes!- ..£100
0:48:07 > 0:48:09One more, one more. Yay!
0:48:09 > 0:48:12..£100... CROWD APPLAUD
0:48:12 > 0:48:15Brilliant, got to say congratulations to you, well done.
0:48:15 > 0:48:19- ..£110...- No.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21- ..at £110...- Give in.
0:48:21 > 0:48:22Well done...
0:48:22 > 0:48:26It's far too early for the white flag of surrender, Charlie,
0:48:26 > 0:48:31but that IS a very big profit on a very small dog.
0:48:31 > 0:48:35Yet again, youth powers over intelligence.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40Next up is the slide show entertainment system and stamps.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42..Ten...
0:48:42 > 0:48:43There's stamps as well, sir!
0:48:43 > 0:48:48Oh, and the stamps, yes, I'm still ten bid! THEY LAUGH
0:48:48 > 0:48:4915, 20.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52I don't think even you could make your bid on this, Charlie!
0:48:52 > 0:48:54Sit down.
0:48:54 > 0:48:58£20, you bid the back, at £20.
0:48:58 > 0:48:59CHARLIE SIGHS
0:48:59 > 0:49:02Oh, dear, the bidders took a dim view of that.
0:49:04 > 0:49:08Now it's the first of the two croquet sets.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11Gregg and Charles have a surprise addition to their lot.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14You've made a cream tea, we've also got one as well.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17The auction house made one first, so I'm going to...
0:49:17 > 0:49:19- No, no, hold on, I made my own this morning.- Yeah.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21You know what he's done, he's nicked my scones, hasn't he?
0:49:21 > 0:49:24No, he hasn't. No, no, I know where our scones are.
0:49:24 > 0:49:29And we thought that it was only fair to balance things up,
0:49:29 > 0:49:30so we did the same.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33Sir, the scones that we've got are fresh -
0:49:33 > 0:49:35John made his over a week ago!
0:49:35 > 0:49:36LAUGHTER
0:49:36 > 0:49:37There we are.
0:49:37 > 0:49:4020, 30, 40...
0:49:40 > 0:49:4450, 60, 70...
0:49:44 > 0:49:4780...90...
0:49:47 > 0:49:48Very good. Very well done.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50..100 bid.
0:49:50 > 0:49:54At £110, there's the bid.
0:49:54 > 0:50:01- The scones won't!- And the scones, and the jam and cream, at £110.
0:50:01 > 0:50:02Very good.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05So, with the scones, cream and jam
0:50:05 > 0:50:07generously added by the auction house,
0:50:07 > 0:50:10Gregg and Charles's croquet set is a plum buy.
0:50:10 > 0:50:12LAUGHTER 110.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16Next is John and Charlie's croquet set,
0:50:16 > 0:50:17complete with muffin tray this time,
0:50:17 > 0:50:22and what should be the star attraction - scones baked by John.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25Ladies and gentlemen, a fine example of a 1970s chef,
0:50:25 > 0:50:27obviously gone past his sell-by date!
0:50:27 > 0:50:29LAUGHTER
0:50:29 > 0:50:32Baked this morning by me, in my kitchen, after a bike ride,
0:50:32 > 0:50:35a dozen scones, and four extras filled with cream and jam.
0:50:35 > 0:50:36And you get the dish.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39You see, Charles, that's outdone you.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41- He has, I know. - Doesn't take much, though, does it?
0:50:41 > 0:50:46..£50 bid, 60, 70...
0:50:46 > 0:50:48- ..at 70..- Scones! Scones, man.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51- ..80, second row...- Scones!
0:50:51 > 0:50:52..90...
0:50:53 > 0:50:55..100 bid.
0:50:55 > 0:50:56At £100.
0:50:56 > 0:51:00Try one more, madam. The scones are lovely.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03- Yes.- ..110...- Sell them.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06- Yeah, well done.- ..at 110...
0:51:06 > 0:51:09- One more scone.- ..at £110... - One more scone.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11..at the back of the room
0:51:11 > 0:51:14No, well done. Well done.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17- Well done.- Thank you. Cheers, mate. - At £110.
0:51:17 > 0:51:21That leaves John and Charlie in a jam
0:51:21 > 0:51:25and Gregg and Charles with a convincing lead.
0:51:25 > 0:51:28- At £20 bid...- Oh, shut up! - ..five I'll take.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30At 20, there we are now...
0:51:32 > 0:51:35Now it's Gregg and Charles's fruity Royal Worcester plate -
0:51:35 > 0:51:36ripe for the picking.
0:51:36 > 0:51:41Ten bid, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60...
0:51:41 > 0:51:44- There's a lady just with her hand in the air.- ..70, 80...
0:51:44 > 0:51:47- Wow!- Second row, at £80.
0:51:48 > 0:51:52At £90, at the back of the room...
0:51:52 > 0:51:54- You're a genius!- £100 bid...
0:51:54 > 0:51:56- Yay!- Very good.
0:51:56 > 0:51:57APPLAUSE
0:51:57 > 0:52:00..110, hang on, 110...
0:52:00 > 0:52:02That's amazing. Seven pounds.
0:52:02 > 0:52:03That's a good investment.
0:52:03 > 0:52:08It's a tasty profit for Team Wallace and John's crushed.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10I'm feeling a bit miserable right now.
0:52:10 > 0:52:11Come on, chum.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14Look, I know you Aussies are always expected to win
