-Some of the nation's favourite celebrities...

-That's the big view.

0:00:020:00:05

-This is the pig for me.

-One antiques expert each...

-Celebrities!

0:00:050:00:10

-I think we could have a go at this, don't you?

-And one big challenge.

0:00:100:00:15

Who can seek out and buy the best antiques at the very best prices?

0:00:150:00:19

What are they doing with this?

0:00:190:00:22

-And auction for a big profit further down the road.

-I've got £10 bid.

0:00:220:00:27

-Who will spot the good investments? Who will listen to advice?

-I tell you, it goes with your eyes.

-Does it?

0:00:270:00:33

And who will be the first to say, "Don't you know who I am?"

0:00:330:00:36

Cuckoo!

0:00:360:00:38

Time to put your pedal to the metal.

0:00:390:00:42

This is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip!

0:00:420:00:44

Yeah!

0:00:470:00:48

Welcome to Hertfordshire, a county of over a million souls

0:00:500:00:53

on the doorstep of London and popular with everyone,

0:00:530:00:56

from the Romans to Queen Elizabeth I, who grew up here.

0:00:560:01:00

The latest distinguished visitors to the county

0:01:020:01:05

are two stars of screen and stage,

0:01:050:01:08

Britain's Don Warrington and America's Stefanie Powers.

0:01:080:01:11

The first challenge for Stefanie is her 1975 Morgan

0:01:130:01:17

and the quaint British habit of driving on the left.

0:01:170:01:19

-Left is that way?

-I've never done a hand signal.

-I mean right, right.

0:01:210:01:24

-I have no idea.

-This, for us, is left.

-Right.

0:01:240:01:29

Because we're driving on the other side of the car...

0:01:290:01:32

It's completely wrong.

0:01:320:01:35

Stefanie Powers found fame young in Hollywood.

0:01:360:01:39

Millions adored her in Hart To Hart.

0:01:400:01:44

She's a wildlife conservationist who lives in Kenya,

0:01:440:01:48

loves horses, and endured the jungle on "I'm a Celebrity".

0:01:480:01:53

She's worked with great illusionists,

0:01:530:01:56

but shows no loyalty to another former co-star, Herbie the Beetle.

0:01:560:01:59

I love this car. I am slowly falling in love with this wonderful car.

0:01:590:02:04

Don Warrington was born in Trinidad and grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne.

0:02:060:02:10

He also found fame young,

0:02:100:02:13

playing Philip Smith in the classic Rising Damp.

0:02:130:02:16

He's appeared with the Royal Shakespeare Company

0:02:160:02:19

and National Theatre.

0:02:190:02:21

Recent TV includes Death In Paradise and Casualty,

0:02:220:02:27

and in 2008, he received an MBE for services to drama. Bravo!

0:02:270:02:32

-So what are out celebrities' tastes in antiques?

-I am a minimalist.

0:02:320:02:36

I like things with sharp corners and clean lines. I don't like clutter.

0:02:360:02:42

God, I wish I could be a minimalist.

0:02:440:02:47

Hmm. A minimalist on an antiques hunt, eh?

0:02:470:02:50

That could be interesting for experts Margie Cooper

0:02:500:02:53

and Charles Hanson in their 1968 Beetle.

0:02:530:02:56

But Charles is preoccupied. Surprise, surprise.

0:02:560:02:59

I'm quite excited because today I'm sitting next to a lady

0:03:010:03:03

with big red lips and lovely red nails.

0:03:030:03:06

Charles Hanson is entranced by beautiful women,

0:03:060:03:09

but has strange ideas about attracting them.

0:03:090:03:13

When not distracted...

0:03:200:03:22

he's a Derbyshire-based auctioneer with a passion for history and early English porcelain.

0:03:220:03:27

It's our first time together in a car.

0:03:280:03:30

I want to make chemistry with you.

0:03:300:03:34

Oh, steady, Charles.

0:03:340:03:36

Margie Cooper's not here for your chemistry!

0:03:360:03:39

She's here for her expertise in antiques,

0:03:400:03:42

especially furniture, and early 20th century silver.

0:03:420:03:46

Sweet little thing.

0:03:460:03:48

Under pressure, this dealer has her own peculiar traits.

0:03:480:03:51

And she knows the lows...

0:03:530:03:57

Yes!

0:03:570:03:58

And the highs of the antiques world.

0:03:580:04:01

Charles has a hankering to pair up with Stefanie. Who wouldn't?

0:04:010:04:05

But wants to believe he's giving the others a choice.

0:04:050:04:08

You know, we'll show off our credentials and they'll decide.

0:04:080:04:12

And hopefully, Stefanie will say, "I want you."

0:04:120:04:15

LAUGHTER

0:04:150:04:17

Regardless of who teams up with who, though,

0:04:170:04:19

each team will have £400 and two days shopping

0:04:190:04:22

to see who can make the most money at auction.

0:04:220:04:25

Starting in St Albans,

0:04:310:04:32

we'll be weaving our way through Hertfordshire,

0:04:320:04:34

then heading into London

0:04:340:04:37

before going to auction in Billingshurst, West Sussex, God's country.

0:04:370:04:41

St Albans is a small cathedral city just north of the M25.

0:04:410:04:46

During the Napoleonic Wars, its clocktower was part of

0:04:460:04:50

a communications chain relaying signals from Whitehall

0:04:500:04:53

to the North Sea fleet in Great Yarmouth.

0:04:530:04:56

Within five minutes.

0:04:560:04:58

Our teams today are communicating face-to-face,

0:04:590:05:02

and with less danger of launching a fleet...

0:05:020:05:04

-Hello there!

-Hi!

0:05:040:05:08

..by meeting up at an eclectic emporium near the city centre.

0:05:080:05:11

-We're in one piece!

-Indeed.

-Barely.

0:05:110:05:15

I don't have to go to the gym because my arms have had a great workout.

0:05:150:05:20

-There's no power steering.

-(Shake the man's hand.) He could be yours.

0:05:200:05:24

I'm not choosing. I refuse.

0:05:240:05:26

-Hello.

-Shake his hand.

-Don, I'm Margie.

0:05:260:05:30

-Hello, Margie.

-The deal's done.

-Hello! Trying to make a graceful entrance.

0:05:300:05:37

-Good to see you. How are you? Nice to see you.

-Oh, OK.

-Do you mind?

0:05:370:05:40

-Oh, very forward, Charles. French kiss?

-We've got to pair off.

0:05:400:05:44

-Have you any preferences?

-We refuse to choose.

-Well, I could choose.

0:05:440:05:51

We could do boy, girl, boy, girl.

0:05:510:05:54

Result! Charles gets his heart's desire.

0:05:540:05:57

Both teams are starting off at Scally Dog's Emporium,

0:05:570:06:02

run by Scally Dog, assisted by father and son Trev and Tom, the puppies.

0:06:020:06:08

Whilst they nose around, Stefanie and Charles settle some basics,

0:06:080:06:13

like much of their £400 to spend.

0:06:130:06:15

-Oh, I think we should spend it all. But it's on what.

-Exactly.

0:06:150:06:20

What is going to get us the most, as we call it, bounce for our buck?

0:06:200:06:26

-Bounce. I like it.

-You like this?

0:06:260:06:29

He likes that. Just outside, Margie is starting to get an idea of Don's tastes.

0:06:290:06:35

-I quite like that.

-Yes... Really?

-Clearly you don't.

-Well, no...

0:06:350:06:40

-God, you try lifting that.

-I wasn't going to. But it's... I don't know.

0:06:400:06:45

-It's got style.

-There's something about it.

0:06:450:06:48

Driftwood, maybe.

0:06:480:06:50

-How much do you think that should cost?

-Not a clue.

0:06:500:06:56

-It'll probably shock me.

-You are the expert.

0:06:560:06:59

LAUGHTER I'm not an expert on tatty bits of old wood here.

0:06:590:07:03

Oh, so you're calling it tatty now. OK.

0:07:030:07:05

Whoops!

0:07:050:07:07

-Meanwhile, Stefanie is feeling nostalgic.

-The Wings of the Hawk!

0:07:070:07:12

-This is great. Van Heflin. I knew Van Heflin.

-Really?

-I did a movie with him.

0:07:120:07:16

-Yes, there he is.

-This is too early for you, isn't it, 1953?

0:07:160:07:19

No, this is way too early for me. Thank you very much.

0:07:190:07:22

Well done, Charles!

0:07:220:07:24

As a young child, did you look at that and think

0:07:240:07:27

"I want to be part of that in later life"?

0:07:270:07:29

No, no. No, I wanted to be an archaeologist or a veterinarian.

0:07:290:07:33

Really? So you like history. You like digging up history, do you?

0:07:330:07:38

-I like digging around. We can dig around.

-We can dig.

-Oh, but look!

0:07:380:07:45

-Oh, my God. I'm in this movie.

-I can't believe it.

-The last magnificent...

0:07:450:07:49

We used to call this Magnificent Seven Will Never Ride Again After This Movie.

0:07:490:07:55

It was the end of that franchise.

0:07:550:07:58

-Oh, what were they doing with this in here?

-I can't believe it.

0:07:580:08:01

-Did you put this here?

-No, no, I promise you.

0:08:010:08:04

Did you have this in your backlog, or did you just get this for today? I mean, where is this?

0:08:040:08:09

I must admit, today this was hanging up in my house

0:08:090:08:12

and I brought this down this morning.

0:08:120:08:14

My God! That's incredible!

0:08:140:08:16

So, Stefanie, what was your role?

0:08:160:08:18

-Were you a cowgirl?

-No, no.

0:08:180:08:21

As was typical of those Magnificent Seven movies, the Mexicans

0:08:210:08:24

were coming in to kill everybody in some sort of a town and I was in the town

0:08:240:08:30

and Lee Van Cleef comes in with all his band and we became a...

0:08:300:08:35

an item.

0:08:350:08:37

-Tom, how much would this poster be to buy?

-For you...

0:08:370:08:40

Look at the lady, look at the lady. Look in her eyes.

0:08:400:08:44

I could do a very good price.

0:08:440:08:46

I could probably sell that framed for about 120.

0:08:460:08:48

The poster is a huge temptation for Stefanie and Charles,

0:08:480:08:53

but they decide to have a look around while mulling it over.

0:08:530:08:58

Meanwhile, Margie is also thinking about purchases appropriate for an actor.

0:08:580:09:01

It's Royal Doulton. You know, all the Shakespearian characters.

0:09:020:09:06

They have themes. That's obviously Falstaff. £80. Do you like it?

0:09:060:09:12

Um...

0:09:120:09:13

-We're touching on your world, aren't we?

-My world...

0:09:130:09:17

No, it's not me, I don't think.

0:09:170:09:19

I think that's a big fat "No", Margie.

0:09:190:09:23

-Don's got his own ideas.

-What about this? What do we think about this?

0:09:230:09:27

What does the sign say?

0:09:270:09:28

It says "Ethnic quiver and arrows.

0:09:280:09:31

"Very unusual."

0:09:310:09:32

How would this go at an auction, do you think?

0:09:320:09:35

Who is going to be in Sussex wanting this?

0:09:350:09:39

Well, it's not practical, I realise that. But...

0:09:390:09:41

The buck has to stop with you because I can't sit there.

0:09:410:09:44

I refuse to sit there when I've told you to buy something and it goes down...

0:09:440:09:48

I'm just trying to imagine if I were at an auction and this came up,

0:09:480:09:53

would I be interested in it?

0:09:530:09:55

SHE SIGHS The thing is, we'll have a whiz round

0:09:550:09:59

and then we'll have a little think.

0:09:590:10:01

-So you're saying now?

-I'm not saying no. I'm just saying...

-No.

0:10:010:10:05

-No, I'm not saying no.

-Yes, you are.

-I'm just saying maybe.

-Maybe? OK.

0:10:050:10:09

Maybe? Someone on this team is going to have to commit.

0:10:090:10:14

Stefanie and Charles, on the other hand,

0:10:140:10:16

are in a decisive frame of mind.

0:10:160:10:18

So, tell me, Tom,

0:10:180:10:20

if my iconic lady signed it,

0:10:200:10:22

-it can only add value, right?

-Oh, most definitely.

-So,

0:10:220:10:26

what can you do for us?

0:10:260:10:27

I did agree a price of 120.

0:10:270:10:29

120. You did agree a price of 120?

0:10:290:10:31

Yeah, I like it very, very much.

0:10:310:10:33

Look at the man in his eyes, OK? Give him a twinkle in the eyes.

0:10:330:10:36

Give him a twinkle.

0:10:360:10:37

The best I can do is take another tenner off and do it for 110.

0:10:370:10:40

Fantastic. I'll shake on that.

0:10:400:10:42

-No problem.

-£110, Tom.

0:10:420:10:44

-Thank you ever so much.

-It's a pleasure.

-Thank you.

0:10:440:10:46

So, in return for £110 and a big dollop of film star charisma,

0:10:470:10:52

Stefanie and Charles have their first lot.

0:10:520:10:55

But Don and Margie have yet to agree on anything.

0:10:550:10:59

-I just spotted that railway sign, which I quite like.

-OK.

0:10:590:11:02

"Any person who omits to shut and fasten this gate

0:11:020:11:05

"is liable to a penalty not exceeding 40 shillings."

0:11:050:11:08

Don't you think that's quite quirky?

0:11:080:11:10

If you say it's quirky, I believe it's quirky.

0:11:100:11:13

I would simply read it as a sign.

0:11:130:11:15

-But people sort of put them in their rooms.

-Do they?

-Yeah.

0:11:150:11:19

So you would recommend that?

0:11:190:11:21

Well, I quite like it. I wouldn't say I recommend it, but I like it.

0:11:210:11:25

Well, I need you to say you would recommend it, because...

0:11:250:11:29

Well, it all depends on what the price is.

0:11:290:11:32

All right, let's find out.

0:11:320:11:34

Hmm. Don wants certainty

0:11:340:11:37

but Margie prefers wriggle room.

0:11:370:11:40

The sign's £120, so Margie guides Don on what to offer.

0:11:400:11:44

-You want to know what my best offer is?

-Your best offer.

0:11:440:11:48

The best advice I've had is 65.

0:11:480:11:50

If you could push to £70,

0:11:500:11:53

I could let it go.

0:11:530:11:56

I'm sorry, I can't.

0:11:560:11:57

-I'm afraid I can't sell it, then.

-Oh, no.

-Well, fair enough.

0:11:570:12:00

£70 is my best price and that's a big drop. That's £50 off.

0:12:000:12:04

I can't move from 65.

0:12:040:12:06

I've been told.

0:12:060:12:09

I am under orders. I can't move.

0:12:090:12:11

Wow! Don't mess with Don! But hang on.

0:12:110:12:15

How much is the quiver and arrows?

0:12:150:12:19

-I can't remember how much it was.

-It had 85 on it.

0:12:190:12:22

-Yeah?

-I'll do you a good deal on the quiver.

0:12:220:12:25

-Really, really cheap.

-If you buy the sign and the quiver,

0:12:250:12:29

I'll sell it to you for...

0:12:290:12:32

115.

0:12:320:12:33

If you say a round 100, I'll go for it.

0:12:330:12:36

This is mean. OK.

0:12:380:12:40

-Shake on it.

-Ah, that's very kind.

-Thank you very much.

0:12:400:12:43

-You have quite an intimidating stare.

-Do I?

0:12:430:12:46

Yes, you do.

0:12:460:12:47

MARGIE LAUGHS

0:12:470:12:48

-Sorry.

-Fully forgiven!

0:12:480:12:51

So we go...

0:12:510:12:53

Hmm. That stare could produce quivering bargains.

0:12:530:12:56

With the sign reduced from £120 to £65

0:12:560:13:00

and the quiver from £85 to £35,

0:13:000:13:02

Don and Margie are launched!

0:13:020:13:04

Stefanie and Charles have already hit the road

0:13:060:13:09

at a decidedly brisk pace. Are those white knuckles?

0:13:090:13:12

Are you a professional driver?

0:13:120:13:15

-You mean, do I race?

-Yes.

0:13:150:13:17

-Do you race?

-I did once.

-Yeah, I thought you did.

0:13:170:13:20

What keeps you so young? Is it this?

0:13:200:13:23

-Fear!

-You live on the edge?

0:13:230:13:25

From St Albans, it doesn't take them very long

0:13:250:13:28

to cover the nine miles to the next port of call,

0:13:280:13:31

which is Hemel Hempstead.

0:13:310:13:33

Hemel Hampstead is a Hertfordshire town

0:13:340:13:37

with fine architecture and a splendid Norman church.

0:13:370:13:40

Despite these attributes,

0:13:400:13:42

it's strangely famous for its enormous complicated magic roundabout,

0:13:420:13:46

said to have been voted both the best

0:13:460:13:49

and the second worst roundabout in Britain.

0:13:490:13:52

As Charles and Stefanie arrive, Charles detects a problem.

0:13:520:13:56

Something funny has happened.

0:13:560:13:57

-What's happened?

-I'm stuck to my seat.

0:13:570:13:59

Whether it's your driving, I don't know, but I literally...

0:13:590:14:02

-Yes?

-If I take my seatbelt off...

0:14:020:14:04

He's got very excited.

0:14:040:14:06

I'm stuck to my seat. Honestly.

0:14:060:14:09

STEFANIE LAUGHS

0:14:090:14:11

-Can you tell why?

-Why?

-I don't know.

0:14:110:14:13

-Well, just...

-Do you want to hop out and come and help me on this side?

0:14:130:14:17

-Yes, I will.

-Thank you, partner.

0:14:170:14:19

Oh, yeah. Pull the other one, Charles.

0:14:190:14:21

-There's some tape there.

-What's happened?

-Oh, there it is!

0:14:210:14:23

-What is it?

-The belt loop!

0:14:230:14:25

-Never let it be said...

-My legs are like jelly.

0:14:250:14:27

-..that I don't help a fellow in distress.

-Thank you very much.

0:14:270:14:30

Very distressed, Carlos(!)

0:14:300:14:33

Team Powers is shopping at Cherry antiques, run by Scott Cullen.

0:14:330:14:38

There's a lot to consider.

0:14:380:14:39

-Enjoy a look around.

-Thank you. It looks beautiful.

0:14:390:14:42

Looks gorgeous.

0:14:420:14:44

Look at that. Isn't that nice?

0:14:440:14:47

-Yes.

-Do you like it?

-It is,

0:14:470:14:49

it reminds me of all the things that we used to do when I was a child.

0:14:490:14:52

-Really?

-We did these samplers...

0:14:520:14:55

The earliest surviving samplers date back to the 1500s.

0:14:550:14:59

What started as a way of recording different stitches

0:15:010:15:04

soon became a more elaborate display of skill and different motifs.

0:15:040:15:08

English girls really stopped, I suppose, performing samplism

0:15:080:15:11

-in a big way by about 1900...

-Is that true?

0:15:110:15:14

Yeah. But your American girls were doing them into the 1960s!

0:15:140:15:18

-Well, I'd say '50s!

-I love it because it is quite naive.

0:15:180:15:25

You've got this maybe farmer here with his gun, maybe,

0:15:250:15:29

with his dog, and here the lovely turreted building on the left side.

0:15:290:15:35

How early is this, Scott?

0:15:350:15:37

I think it's probably sort of late 19th century.

0:15:370:15:40

Is there any information on the back?

0:15:400:15:42

Nothing at all, because what we look for, Stefanie,

0:15:420:15:45

what we love to see...

0:15:450:15:46

What's this? It says National Paragon Corporation, 100% linen.

0:15:460:15:54

Look, if that's there then it isn't very old, is it?

0:15:540:15:57

-That would help to date it, wouldn't it?

-Yeah, look at that.

0:15:570:16:00

-That linen mark on there, I never saw that.

-I didn't see that.

-Well!

0:16:000:16:05

-So it's quite late.

-Good thing I came along!

0:16:050:16:07

You don't miss much, do you, Stefanie Powers?

0:16:070:16:10

The ticket price is £60 so Stefanie and Charles decide to continue

0:16:100:16:13

looking around, and Stefanie is soon captivated.

0:16:130:16:18

If you look at the work, I mean, the work is absolutely beautiful,

0:16:180:16:22

there are a couple of chips here and there but it's really, really...

0:16:220:16:26

This organic design, you know, recreating the natural world,

0:16:260:16:33

was, I think, extremely important to the Victorians.

0:16:330:16:37

-You're almost bringing a tear to my eye.

-Really?

-I kid you not.

0:16:370:16:40

Because you're talking my sort of language in the sense that it's

0:16:400:16:44

terribly undervalued, people tend to dismiss it as just being fussy,

0:16:440:16:49

dust-gathering...

0:16:490:16:51

Victorian obscenities, and you're giving it a love and life.

0:16:510:16:55

-I admire you. Don't you, Scott?

-I think she's after your job!

0:16:550:16:58

I agree! I thought this would be more your taste.

0:16:580:17:02

It's that minimal, modern look.

0:17:020:17:07

And this, when I say minimal,

0:17:070:17:09

represents a style that we call the Arts and Crafts.

0:17:090:17:12

-Is this Arts and Crafts?

-Absolutely. The birth of the 20th century,

0:17:120:17:17

and it's all about the gild of handicraft.

0:17:170:17:20

It's showing the studded joints, showing this roundel hammer detail.

0:17:200:17:25

It's a return for art for art's sake. That's quite a nice mirror.

0:17:250:17:29

It's got a lovely patination. It's 1910, thereabouts,

0:17:290:17:33

and it really captures the birth of that last century.

0:17:330:17:36

I think it's in a really good condition.

0:17:360:17:38

-That could do quite well.

-He does go on, doesn't he?

-Do I?

0:17:380:17:42

Got it in one, Stefanie.

0:17:420:17:44

You might!

0:17:440:17:45

Meanwhile, Don and Margie have taken a break from shopping.

0:17:450:17:49

They're heading just inside the M25 to a site near London Colney.

0:17:510:17:56

They're about to discover the crucial role Hertfordshire played

0:17:580:18:01

in supporting the RAF during World War II,

0:18:010:18:04

in the company of a former RAF man.

0:18:040:18:07

Chocks away.

0:18:070:18:09

-Ah.

-Hello.

0:18:090:18:10

And welcome to the De Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre.

0:18:100:18:13

-My name's Ralph Steiner, operations director.

-Like the hat.

0:18:130:18:17

The De Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre celebrates the iconic British

0:18:170:18:23

aeroplane manufacturer with a collection of over 20 historic aircraft.

0:18:230:18:28

It was at Salisbury Hall, next to the centre,

0:18:280:18:31

that the story of its most celebrated plane began.

0:18:310:18:35

So, Ralph, why are we here, what exactly is going on here?

0:18:350:18:39

Well, in about 1939 the directors of De Havilland, in their wisdom,

0:18:390:18:45

moved to the design team of the Mosquito out here

0:18:450:18:48

in the middle of nowhere. Obviously the factory could've got bombed,

0:18:480:18:52

and they designed the Mosquito in Salisbury Hall in 11 months.

0:18:520:18:57

I don't think we could build a motorbike in 11 months today.

0:18:570:19:00

The Mosquito was to become one of the most versatile aircraft of World War II,

0:19:000:19:06

serving amongst other things as a day-and-night fighter,

0:19:060:19:09

a fighter bomber, pathfinder and photo reconnaissance plane.

0:19:090:19:13

The museum is home to the prototype and much more.

0:19:130:19:16

What a marvellous place.

0:19:160:19:18

Now, what we have here is the bomber version of the Mosquito.

0:19:180:19:23

You can see that by the nose cone, which is Perspex,

0:19:230:19:27

and at the front you see a different windscreen.

0:19:270:19:29

If we turn round and have a look at the fighter version,

0:19:290:19:32

we've got a flat screen, we have got four 30-30 machine guns.

0:19:320:19:36

And, underneath, you see four other holes,

0:19:360:19:40

and underneath there go four cannons.

0:19:400:19:43

The actual machine guns, for two seconds, shoots out 166 rounds.

0:19:430:19:48

-Gosh!

-And the cannons underneath, for two seconds, 88 rounds,

0:19:480:19:53

so it's got a nasty sting to it.

0:19:530:19:55

De Havilland rightly anticipated metal would be in short supply

0:19:550:20:00

during the war and designed the Mosquito to be made mostly of wood.

0:20:000:20:04

So much so, it was dubbed The Wooden Wonder.

0:20:040:20:08

The aircraft wing, all made of timber,

0:20:080:20:11

the fuselage all made of timber.

0:20:110:20:14

The only major metal sections are of course the engines,

0:20:140:20:17

the bearers and the suspension unit.

0:20:170:20:19

Here we've got the inner skin, which is the plywood.

0:20:190:20:23

Balsa wood filler.

0:20:230:20:25

Plywood and, on the outside, we have the linen,

0:20:250:20:29

which covers the actual woodwork to protect it.

0:20:290:20:32

And there you are, you're flying in here,

0:20:320:20:35

-maybe 400 miles-an-hour on the outside.

-Gosh.

0:20:350:20:38

-How many were built?

-7,781.

-How many did you lose?

-We nearly lost half.

0:20:380:20:44

You imagine getting into the aircraft, it's wet, it's dark.

0:20:440:20:48

You've got to fly over the English Channel at 50 feet.

0:20:480:20:51

You've got to find your target. Now the searchlights are on.

0:20:510:20:54

You're being shot at. If you're lucky, you find your target.

0:20:540:20:57

You turn round. Now the fronters are up. The searchlights are up.

0:20:570:21:01

You're still being shot at.

0:21:010:21:03

And if you're really lucky you'll come back to your base,

0:21:030:21:06

if you find your own base, you land, you debrief, you go into the mess.

0:21:060:21:11

And there's six empty places.

0:21:110:21:13

And they were the buddies you drank with the night before, or you played cricket with.

0:21:130:21:17

They're not here any longer.

0:21:170:21:19

And tomorrow night you might be doing another trip.

0:21:190:21:22

You've got to do 30 of those to complete a tour.

0:21:220:21:25

Despite the tragedies, the Mosquito had the lowest loss rate

0:21:250:21:30

of any aircraft serving in RAF bomber command during World War II.

0:21:300:21:35

And its dedicated admirers ensure that the De Havilland story

0:21:350:21:39

lives on.

0:21:390:21:40

-You're a real enthusiast, aren't you?

-Great.

-Yeah.

0:21:400:21:43

-British, Hertfordshire, Hatfield!

-I'll tell you what I'm going to do.

0:21:430:21:48

I'm going to get your flag.

0:21:480:21:49

Yeah! Yeah! Wey!

0:21:490:21:51

That's it, Rule Britannia.

0:21:510:21:53

Really enjoyed it. You're amazing.

0:21:530:21:56

Thank you very much. Thank you for coming.

0:21:560:21:58

Back at Cherry Antiques in Hemel Hempstead, Stefanie and Charles

0:22:040:22:08

are still interested in the sampler and the Arts and Crafts mirror,

0:22:080:22:12

together priced at £105.

0:22:120:22:15

AUCTIONEER SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY

0:22:150:22:18

But they ring the auctioneer in Sussex and he suggest toys

0:22:190:22:23

and works of art might fetch good prices.

0:22:230:22:26

I think we get the idea, works of art, toys as well,

0:22:260:22:30

and that's your Friday sell.

0:22:300:22:31

Stefanie soon makes a find.

0:22:310:22:34

Just looking at something of beautiful craftsmanship

0:22:340:22:38

is this marquetry.

0:22:380:22:40

English, it says. Art Deco. It's lovely, isn't it?

0:22:400:22:43

-It really captures the movement of those birds.

-Yeah, it's beautiful.

0:22:430:22:47

Off the wall. OK.

0:22:470:22:50

Marquetry techniques developed in the Low Countries

0:22:500:22:53

in the early 16th century, and later the craft flowered

0:22:530:22:57

in France, in furnishings for royal palaces, for example at Versailles.

0:22:570:23:03

This humble example is from a Gloucestershire workshop

0:23:030:23:07

and dates from around 1928.

0:23:070:23:09

It has a tremendous range.

0:23:090:23:12

It can be in a house that's traditionally furnished,

0:23:120:23:14

it can be in a house that's even modern.

0:23:140:23:17

I do agree with you because you've got an ebony frame...

0:23:170:23:21

And it has that same sort of craftsman idea. Bedemeier...

0:23:210:23:25

Oh, my goodness, where did that come from?

0:23:250:23:29

Bedemeier, that's German!

0:23:290:23:31

-But, you know, your artistic...

-Very impressive.

0:23:310:23:34

-Well... But don't you see that?

-It's got such a modernist feel.

0:23:340:23:38

You've got bird's eye maple, rosewood, you've got a mahogany,

0:23:380:23:41

you've got different wood-stained timbers,

0:23:410:23:44

you've got a really vast array of exotic timbers

0:23:440:23:47

that really makes this a good Deco exotic work of art.

0:23:470:23:51

So, the picture might be the sort of thing the auctioneer had in mind,

0:23:520:23:57

but at £245, it's a huge gamble.

0:23:570:23:59

There was another suggestion.

0:23:590:24:02

And also the auctioneer said toys, and what's over there?

0:24:020:24:06

And what's your great love?

0:24:060:24:07

Oh, my goodness. Look at these!

0:24:100:24:13

It's called the Derby, and yes, I'm from Derby. Electric Derby.

0:24:130:24:17

-I think we had something like this in the States as well.

-Really?

0:24:170:24:21

I think we did. Let me have a look.

0:24:210:24:23

-It can't be your decade, surely, it's 1950s.

-Well, honey... SHE LAUGHS

0:24:230:24:28

-Look at me! No way. No way!

-Tee-hee!

0:24:280:24:31

No way, surely.

0:24:310:24:33

Let's see. Look at how nicely it's been maintained. The box... Oh! Wow.

0:24:330:24:39

-That is in great condition.

-I love it.

-Look at that.

0:24:390:24:44

-I do too, I think this is great. Does it work?

-Yeah, I believe so.

0:24:440:24:50

Ah, very cunning reply. In this game, priced at £40,

0:24:500:24:54

battery power shoots ballbearings along a racetrack.

0:24:540:24:57

They push the horses towards the finishing line.

0:24:570:25:00

Different weights can be added to the horses to change the odds.

0:25:000:25:03

-It sounds great.

-It's really sweet.

-Isn't it?

0:25:030:25:07

Look, these faces could almost be American, couldn't they?

0:25:070:25:10

Hold on. No, it's not you!

0:25:100:25:12

We all sort of looked the same, didn't we, in those days?

0:25:120:25:15

Very picturesque, I should say myself.

0:25:150:25:17

There's mum and dad. Dad at home in a tie!

0:25:170:25:20

-But that's how we used to dress, didn't we?

-Of course it was.

0:25:200:25:25

We were snap happy in our dressing back then.

0:25:250:25:27

After a long time in the shop,

0:25:270:25:29

Stefanie and Charles need to make some hard choices.

0:25:290:25:32

They postpone a decision on the marquetry picture,

0:25:320:25:35

despite Scott reducing it to £150.

0:25:350:25:39

They want to take the racing game, the sampler

0:25:390:25:41

and the Arts and Crafts mirror.

0:25:410:25:44

The combined ticket price is £145,

0:25:440:25:46

but Scott has indicated he'd take £115. Wow.

0:25:460:25:52

Are we going to offer Scott 80 for the three items?

0:25:520:25:55

-I couldn't do it, I'm afraid.

-OK.

0:25:550:25:58

I'm not surprised. A cheeky offer - it's been rebuffed.

0:25:580:26:01

But Scott is willing to move a little bit.

0:26:010:26:03

-I will come down to 30 on that.

-OK.

0:26:030:26:06

-So I'll come down 10 in total.

-105.

-Yep.

0:26:060:26:09

-Good, let's do it.

-Shall we do it? Shake the man's hand.

0:26:090:26:13

-Thank you.

-Thank you, Scott.

-Thanks ever so much.

0:26:130:26:16

So, it's a deal for a mirror reduced from £60 to £45,

0:26:160:26:21

the game from £40 to £30 and the sampler from £45 to £30,

0:26:210:26:26

making a total of £105, plus the poster bought earlier for £110,

0:26:260:26:31

which means Team Powers has had an extraordinarily busy day.

0:26:310:26:35

But before poor old Charles can relax,

0:26:350:26:38

-he must endure another white-knuckle ride.

-Ready?

0:26:380:26:42

Take your time, OK?

0:26:420:26:43

Hold on tight! Nighty-night.

0:26:470:26:50

Day two of the road trip, and Stefanie and Don

0:26:590:27:02

are en route to Redbourn, just outside Hemel Hempstead,

0:27:020:27:05

to meet up with our experts, and they're comparing notes.

0:27:050:27:08

Naughty.

0:27:080:27:10

So, how did you get on with your expert?

0:27:100:27:12

Oh, well, Charles, he's adorable.

0:27:120:27:15

But I'm sure his mother will get on at him

0:27:150:27:18

because his shoelaces are always falling apart.

0:27:180:27:21

No, he's a cute guy, he really is a sweet guy.

0:27:210:27:24

My expert and I, we just talked about antiques dealers,

0:27:240:27:29

-what they get up to.

-Ah.

0:27:290:27:31

-Tricks of the trade.

-Oh, did you? Oh, you can share that with me.

0:27:310:27:36

What you don't know, Stefanie,

0:27:380:27:40

is that Don's already mastered a very useful trick of the trade.

0:27:400:27:44

Don's great, he's very laid back, and when he comes to doing the deal,

0:27:440:27:50

he just sort of stares at them and there's a horrible pause.

0:27:500:27:54

Charles confesses he's more than a little smitten.

0:27:540:27:59

-It's really strange.

-You clicked?

-We have clicked.

0:27:590:28:02

I can't believe that she spoke so poetically

0:28:020:28:05

about a Victorian encrusted pottery bowl.

0:28:050:28:08

It's so outdated. I didn't dare say it to her,

0:28:080:28:12

"Look, Grandma, this is Grandma's favourite."

0:28:120:28:15

That would have been our love affair over.

0:28:150:28:18

Yeah, you're right there, Charles.

0:28:180:28:20

As well as embarking on the great romance of the century,

0:28:200:28:24

Charles and Stefanie have managed to spend £215 on four lots.

0:28:240:28:29

The film poster, the Arts and Crafts mirror,

0:28:290:28:33

the sampler

0:28:330:28:35

and the horseracing game.

0:28:350:28:37

They haven't decided about the marquetry picture,

0:28:370:28:40

so they have £185 left to play with.

0:28:400:28:44

Don and Margie have used Don's stare to good effect,

0:28:440:28:50

acquiring two lots, the railway sign and the quiver and arrows

0:28:500:28:54

for a total of £100,

0:28:540:28:56

-leaving them with £300 in hand for today.

-A hundred.

0:28:560:28:59

They're all meeting up at Bushwood Antiques,

0:28:590:29:03

a vast antiques empire with over 8,500 items.

0:29:030:29:08

This place is huge, so you can go that way, we can go this way, any preferences?

0:29:090:29:14

-I thought I might go left.

-OK, fine.

0:29:140:29:16

Our two teams are refreshed and keen to snap up bargains,

0:29:160:29:20

using the weapons at their disposal -

0:29:200:29:23

the stare for Team Warrington and film star charisma for Team Powers.

0:29:230:29:28

-Oh, my God, look at this!

-Jeepers creepers.

-This is Ali Baba's cave!

0:29:290:29:36

Stefanie and Charles dive in at the deep end of 25,000 square feet

0:29:370:29:42

-of very upmarket stock.

-Gosh!

0:29:420:29:44

The selection is huge, but the owner, Tony, helps them narrow things down.

0:29:440:29:48

There, look, just put it on.

0:29:480:29:50

It's adorable, it's really something.

0:29:500:29:53

-Oh, that's perfect.

-It really suits you as well.

0:29:530:29:56

They must have had very small heads.

0:29:560:30:00

Does that...? Does it sort of do it for you?

0:30:000:30:02

Yeah, we're a bit late for the races, but...

0:30:020:30:04

THEY LAUGH

0:30:040:30:05

-What you've got here is a really good late Victorian hat box.

-Yeah.

0:30:050:30:08

And look where it's been over the years.

0:30:080:30:11

Look, Stefanie, all these old stories of paper, labels...

0:30:110:30:14

-it's been on railway, it's been...

-..on its travels.

0:30:140:30:17

-..on coaches, been on carriages.

-There we are.

0:30:170:30:19

Listen. Listen to me.

0:30:190:30:21

Come on! Listen to me!

0:30:210:30:24

This is...

0:30:240:30:25

# One...

0:30:250:30:26

# Thrilling combination

0:30:260:30:28

# Every little step we make. #

0:30:280:30:30

Do-do-loo-do-do-loo-do.

0:30:300:30:32

That's it!

0:30:340:30:35

But look at the interior. It's a leather hatbox.

0:30:350:30:37

-Look, it's beautifully...

-Oh, look at that!

-..velvet-lined.

0:30:370:30:40

And you would place your hat in there, like so...

0:30:400:30:44

You would say, "Darling, I'm off to Ascot," or wherever

0:30:440:30:47

and you would then just, you know, tighten your belt up.

0:30:470:30:51

-I think, actually, there's some lice in here.

-Lice?

-Some live lice.

0:30:510:30:54

-Thank you very much. I put it on my head.

-I'm joking! It's a joke. Sorry.

0:30:540:30:58

-I think it's been fumigated.

-Exactly.

0:30:580:31:01

I think it's been fumigated, because there's not a single...

0:31:010:31:04

Hold on, hold on. There we go, it's gone.

0:31:040:31:07

-Wait a minute, maybe you've got some in yours...

-Yeah, get out of here.

0:31:070:31:10

Hey, wait a minute!

0:31:100:31:13

Yuck! Sharing nits.

0:31:130:31:14

What matters here is the wear and tear to the hat and box,

0:31:150:31:19

so Charles wants a good price,

0:31:190:31:21

even before deploying Stefanie's charms.

0:31:210:31:23

I'm hoping Tony might look at me and say,

0:31:230:31:25

"Actually, it's below our budget," Tony, isn't it?

0:31:250:31:28

I can take £85 for it.

0:31:280:31:30

I know you're big fan of Stefanie Powers, you know,

0:31:300:31:32

and I mean... Look at the lady, Tony. Look at that lady, OK?

0:31:320:31:35

And as Stefanie looks so wonderful in the hat, I'd...

0:31:350:31:38

I'd hate to see her go out without it, so...

0:31:380:31:41

how about...£40?

0:31:410:31:43

-When the lady has it, a man cannot resist a sale.

-No, no.

0:31:430:31:47

I'm putty in your hands.

0:31:470:31:48

Would you take £30 for it?

0:31:480:31:50

You've got more front than Selfridges, but I'll...

0:31:500:31:52

On this particular occasion, I'll accept.

0:31:520:31:54

Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

0:31:540:31:56

Look at us, OK? That's a deal!

0:31:560:31:58

-Give me a kiss!

-Give him a hug!

0:31:580:32:00

-Give him a kiss!

-Give us a kiss.

0:32:000:32:02

-Thank you so much.

-You're very welcome.

-Thanks, Tony.

0:32:030:32:06

Just across the yard, Margie and Don are also overwhelmed by choices.

0:32:070:32:11

Brass pan.

0:32:110:32:13

-Oh, look here.

-Anything?

-Oh, this is gorgeous!

0:32:130:32:16

Victorian writing slope.

0:32:160:32:18

You use it on your lap.

0:32:190:32:21

-They were great letter writers, weren't they?

-Were they?

0:32:210:32:23

-Underneath there, you would put your envelopes and paper...

-Yeah.

0:32:230:32:26

-Here, there's more room to put things.

-Right.

0:32:260:32:30

-Some of them have secret compartments.

-Yes.

0:32:300:32:33

-This is for your ink...

-Yes.

0:32:330:32:35

Pens, ink, whatever you want to put in there.

0:32:350:32:39

-But it should have a pull on it and it's come off...

-OK.

0:32:390:32:41

..which is a bit annoying.

0:32:410:32:43

Well, it is a bit annoying, but it might help us.

0:32:430:32:45

You think it might help out? You're getting the...the hang of it.

0:32:450:32:49

Sales manager Julie

0:32:490:32:51

explains the slope is £145 and late 19th-century.

0:32:510:32:55

She also knows how to reveal the secret compartment.

0:32:550:32:59

Just pull that there, out it pops...

0:32:590:33:02

-So you'd keep your secret...

-Yeah, anything.

-..bits.

0:33:020:33:04

-Love letters.

-Love letters, eh?

0:33:040:33:06

-Yeah, bits and pieces. Maybe a bit of jewellery.

-Really?

0:33:060:33:08

Yeah, and it's in good condition.

0:33:080:33:10

-I think we could have a go at this, don't you?

-Do you think so?

0:33:100:33:13

I don't know. You tell me.

0:33:130:33:14

Well, I just think it's a nice thing.

0:33:140:33:16

It just depends how...

0:33:160:33:18

generous our friend Julie is going to be.

0:33:180:33:21

Well, let's be really nice to her.

0:33:210:33:23

Let's see how we get on.

0:33:230:33:25

If I were to say...

0:33:250:33:27

I know it's not...

0:33:280:33:30

-115?

-It's a deal.

-There we are.

0:33:300:33:33

-You've done it, darling.

-OK. Thank you.

-Shake the lady's hand.

0:33:330:33:36

Thank you very much.

0:33:360:33:37

The toned-down version of the Warrington Stare

0:33:390:33:42

secures a discount

0:33:420:33:44

and better potential for a profit later at auction.

0:33:440:33:47

Outside, Stefanie and Charles have rung the dealer

0:33:470:33:50

and agreed to buy the marquetry picture of herons

0:33:500:33:52

they saw the previous day.

0:33:520:33:54

He's reduced it from £245 to £150,

0:33:540:33:57

but no further. Will it take off?

0:33:570:34:00

I think it's a real gamble.

0:34:000:34:02

But, hey, look, we walk on the wild side, OK?

0:34:020:34:04

Let's not get into a flap about it!

0:34:040:34:06

Margie and Don head off

0:34:080:34:09

on the final leg of their antique shopping.

0:34:090:34:12

Unlike Stefanie, Margie's not besotted with her classic car,

0:34:120:34:16

just hot and bothered.

0:34:160:34:18

This car will be the death of me.

0:34:180:34:21

It is the most awful, rattling, old crate

0:34:210:34:24

I have ever driven in my life.

0:34:240:34:26

Without you, I can't get into reverse...

0:34:260:34:30

I've heard that said before.

0:34:300:34:31

LAUGHTER

0:34:310:34:33

From Redbourn, it's 10 miles across country

0:34:340:34:37

to the town of Berkhamsted.

0:34:370:34:39

The town is set in a valley in the Chiltern Hills,

0:34:400:34:43

and dates back to pre-Saxon times.

0:34:430:34:47

Berkhamsted School counts novelist Graham Greene

0:34:470:34:50

amongst its most eminent old boys.

0:34:500:34:54

Our own eminent team, Margie and Don,

0:34:560:34:59

already have three items, but not much time to buy any more.

0:34:590:35:03

Margie's got a radical solution.

0:35:030:35:05

We could actually go and find a cake shop.

0:35:050:35:07

-And buy what?

-A cake and two coffees...

0:35:070:35:10

-No.

-And say...

0:35:100:35:12

-You've had your cake for today.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:35:120:35:15

Quite right, Don. Keep focussed.

0:35:150:35:17

Are we going to go in, or are we going to look...?

0:35:170:35:19

Perhaps the perfect purchase awaits at Heritage Antiques.

0:35:190:35:23

-Hello.

-Hello.

-How are you?

0:35:230:35:25

-Hi, my name's Don.

-Hi, Don.

-Hi, and you're the...?

0:35:250:35:28

-I'm John.

-You're the owner, John?

-Yeah.

-Oh, brilliant.

0:35:280:35:31

-Right, so we've got half an hour to go...

-Right, start out the back.

0:35:310:35:34

-Panic has set in.

-Start out the back?

0:35:340:35:35

We're looking for something to make a profit at auction.

0:35:350:35:38

-Right, what are we after?

-Right, let's have a look...

0:35:380:35:40

This silver cabinet should be right up Margie's street...

0:35:400:35:44

Nothing in there...

0:35:440:35:46

..if she keeps her cool.

0:35:460:35:48

Oh, dear! What are we going to do?

0:35:480:35:52

Well, stay calm, for a start.

0:35:520:35:54

John has an idea.

0:35:540:35:56

-OK.

-There you are, a multi-flowered...

0:35:560:35:58

A multi-flowered zither.

0:35:580:36:00

Chords down here and single notes up here.

0:36:000:36:03

Zithers of various forms are found

0:36:030:36:05

all the way from central Europe to East Asia,

0:36:050:36:08

with the earliest known examples dating from pre-Christian times.

0:36:080:36:13

Nowadays, the instrument is probably most associated

0:36:130:36:16

with the theme music from the film The Third Man.

0:36:160:36:18

All right. Now, how much would this go for in auction?

0:36:180:36:22

-I know you can't...

-I don't know,

0:36:220:36:24

cos I have never bought one in auction.

0:36:240:36:25

All I know is I've got £85 on it.

0:36:250:36:28

How much are you prepared to let it go for?

0:36:280:36:30

-You can have it for 65.

-Oh!

0:36:300:36:33

I can? If I were somebody else, what would happen?

0:36:330:36:36

Probably 75, I would think.

0:36:360:36:38

-Really? So you're doing this for me?

-Yeah.

0:36:380:36:40

-We've got to be tough, Don.

-Got to be tough.

0:36:400:36:43

-Can you... Can you help me?

-We're desperate.

0:36:430:36:45

-Do you think it would be good...?

-55?

-55?

0:36:450:36:48

-If we go 50, then you've got a deal.

-No, I'm not happy.

0:36:480:36:52

-She's not happy.

-She's not happy.

0:36:520:36:54

-Oh, go on.

-For that, you get, look...

0:36:540:36:55

painted flowers, lacquered top,

0:36:550:36:58

you get all the notes,

0:36:580:37:00

-you can sing Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do...

-Yeah, great.

0:37:000:37:03

..and backwards down again.

0:37:030:37:05

If I sing it, will you knock another fiver off?

0:37:050:37:07

-How about 45?

-Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do, da, da, da...

0:37:090:37:13

-45.

-There you go.

-OK, 45.

0:37:130:37:15

And you get a tuning key.

0:37:150:37:17

The tuning key is thrown in for free, which is handy.

0:37:170:37:20

But Margie pushes her luck even further.

0:37:200:37:22

Only one other thing. Have you got a duster?

0:37:220:37:25

-No, the dust comes with it.

-Oh, crumbs.

0:37:250:37:28

On the way out, Margie spots another possibility.

0:37:280:37:31

Oh, look here. These are great, Don.

0:37:320:37:35

-Don, these are nice.

-It's a sampler.

0:37:350:37:37

I love these, but it's not very colourful.

0:37:370:37:39

Plainer than the one Stefanie and Charles bought.

0:37:390:37:42

"Martha Tealby, Harrold School, October..." She did that in 1842.

0:37:420:37:46

-Did she?

-Yeah. She did.

0:37:460:37:47

It's called doing their rows.

0:37:470:37:49

-They were also learning the alphabet as well as learning how to sew.

-OK.

0:37:490:37:53

And then they'd use all different stitches and things.

0:37:530:37:56

-And these are very highly rated.

-Are they?

0:37:560:37:59

But it needs a bit of c...

0:37:590:38:00

And she's done... It was always a bit religious...

0:38:000:38:02

All right, it's highly rated, so...

0:38:020:38:04

if we were to talk about dropping the price...

0:38:040:38:07

..might we come out of it with a bit of a...

0:38:080:38:11

What do you think?

0:38:110:38:12

Yeah, I'm just a bit worried about the lack of colour in it.

0:38:120:38:14

John, what's the best on that?

0:38:140:38:16

That's got to be 80.

0:38:160:38:18

-Oh, crumbs. Has it?

-Yeah.

0:38:180:38:20

-It's absolutely got to be?

-Yes.

0:38:200:38:23

-There's nothing you can do?

-No.

0:38:230:38:25

-Nothing at all?

-No.

0:38:250:38:27

It's John...

0:38:270:38:28

versus the stare.

0:38:280:38:30

OK, I'll take a risk and take it down to 75 for you.

0:38:300:38:33

-All right, just leave that with me for one second.

-All right.

0:38:330:38:36

Just let me contemplate that for a second. OK...

0:38:360:38:40

The sampler belongs to another dealer,

0:38:400:38:43

so John's reluctant to agree a bigger discount.

0:38:430:38:46

Margie and Don confer in private.

0:38:460:38:49

-I mean, if we buy it at the price...

-Yeah.

0:38:490:38:51

..that means we have four items?

0:38:530:38:55

-Five items.

-Five items.

0:38:550:38:56

-And we've still got money left...

-Yeah.

0:38:560:38:59

..so we're likely to make more on five items

0:38:590:39:01

than we are on four, are we not?

0:39:010:39:03

Yeah, unless we go down on all of them.

0:39:030:39:06

Well, if we go down, we go down,

0:39:060:39:08

-but let's go down in flames.

-All right.

-OK?

0:39:080:39:11

That's the spirit, Don.

0:39:110:39:13

And your stare has amazing effects.

0:39:130:39:16

-Go on then, 68 - that's what you suggested.

-Thank you very much.

0:39:160:39:19

I was just going to go 65.

0:39:190:39:22

Nobody likes a smart arse.

0:39:220:39:24

Well, that's brilliant. Thank you very much.

0:39:270:39:29

-That's very kind of you.

-Thank you.

0:39:290:39:31

Oh, yes! So with the zither reduced from £85 to £45 - wow! -

0:39:310:39:35

and the sampler from £88 to £68,

0:39:350:39:38

Margie and Don's shopping is complete.

0:39:380:39:41

Maybe now it's time for cake.

0:39:410:39:44

Stefanie and Charles have also completed their business.

0:39:450:39:48

They've left Hertfordshire behind and are heading into central London.

0:39:490:39:54

And Stefanie has a revelation for Charles.

0:39:540:39:56

Our chemistry is growing, isn't it?

0:39:560:39:58

-It is.

-Do you...?

0:39:580:40:00

-I'm going to be very sorry when this is all over.

-Are you really?

0:40:000:40:02

I feel I have a new...new little brother.

0:40:020:40:05

Aww! Little brother?

0:40:050:40:07

-Come on!

-Little brother Charles!

0:40:070:40:09

Sorry, Charles. Turns out, it's not THAT kind of chemistry.

0:40:090:40:13

Here we are. I think it's that blue door there.

0:40:140:40:16

Fortunately, there's a perfect distraction at hand.

0:40:180:40:21

Stefanie has previously worked with famous magicians

0:40:210:40:24

and today, she's visiting The Magic Circle.

0:40:240:40:27

The Magic Circle.

0:40:270:40:28

Secret society.

0:40:280:40:30

MUSIC: "Magic" by Pilot

0:40:300:40:33

Good afternoon. Welcome to The Magic Circle. Come in.

0:40:330:40:37

The guide is Will Houston,

0:40:370:40:39

award-winning magician and specialist in the history of magic.

0:40:390:40:43

I'm a member, I'm a magician,

0:40:430:40:44

there's a flag flying outside, that's how you know.

0:40:440:40:46

And you have to be a magician to be a member?

0:40:460:40:49

You have to be a magician to be a member,

0:40:490:40:51

and you have to pass an exam to be a member as well.

0:40:510:40:53

The Magic Circle was founded in 1905

0:40:530:40:57

and has around 1,500 members worldwide,

0:40:570:41:00

dedicated to promoting magic.

0:41:000:41:03

Magic itself is found in cultures throughout the world.

0:41:030:41:06

The earliest surviving evidence of it

0:41:060:41:08

dates back to the ancient Egyptians,

0:41:080:41:11

but in the Western world, its heyday came much later.

0:41:110:41:14

# Ho, ho, ho, it's magic

0:41:140:41:18

# You know... #

0:41:180:41:19

The golden age was probably sort of the 1850s through to the 1920s,

0:41:190:41:23

or thereabouts.

0:41:230:41:24

Because that was the time, really, when magic started to get rid of

0:41:240:41:27

its association with street performance and the supernatural

0:41:270:41:32

and become more and more accepted as a legitimate form of entertainment

0:41:320:41:35

that people could go to see in the theatre or learn as a hobby

0:41:350:41:38

or have performed in their own homes or drawing rooms.

0:41:380:41:40

One of the most peculiar magicians

0:41:440:41:46

who's represented in the Magic Circle Museum...

0:41:460:41:49

his name was Chung Ling Soo,

0:41:490:41:50

and he used to perform as the original Chinese conjurer.

0:41:500:41:54

He used to perform a routine called the Bullet Catch,

0:41:540:41:56

where he would get a bullet signed by somebody from the audience,

0:41:560:41:59

it would be loaded into a gun

0:41:590:42:01

and the gun would be given to a marksman.

0:42:010:42:03

He'd stand opposite them, holding a china plate,

0:42:030:42:05

and they would fire the bullet.

0:42:050:42:07

He would catch it on the china plate, without the plate breaking,

0:42:070:42:10

and then he would pass the plate back to them,

0:42:100:42:12

so they could look at the bullet

0:42:120:42:13

and check to see it really had their initials on it.

0:42:130:42:16

He did it successfully for years and years and years,

0:42:160:42:19

and then he was performing on stage

0:42:190:42:21

at the Wood Green Empire Theatre in 1918.

0:42:210:42:24

The gun was shot, the plate broke and he collapsed on the stage...

0:42:240:42:26

..and was killed.

0:42:260:42:28

He got taken to hospital and, unfortunately, he died.

0:42:280:42:30

And it turned out that the original Chinese conjurer

0:42:300:42:33

was actually an American magician called William Robinson,

0:42:330:42:37

who had just realised that selling himself as a Chinaman

0:42:370:42:40

would make his act more exotic

0:42:400:42:41

and more appealing to the London audiences.

0:42:410:42:44

Does anyone know what happened?

0:42:440:42:46

No-one knows for sure what happened and what went wrong.

0:42:460:42:48

It's just another one of those mysteries

0:42:480:42:51

that you find in the world of magic.

0:42:510:42:53

A visit to the magic circle wouldn't be complete

0:42:540:42:57

without some magic, would it?

0:42:570:42:59

But Will has some important preliminaries.

0:42:590:43:01

I CAN tell you that before every show,

0:43:010:43:04

-I have to warm up all of my fingers, one by one...

-How?

0:43:040:43:07

And I haven't done one, so I'll show you how you warm up the little finger.

0:43:070:43:10

-Yeah, fine.

-Just the little one.

0:43:100:43:11

The first thing you have to be able to do is have a little finger

0:43:110:43:14

which is telescopic...

0:43:140:43:15

-Oh!

-So it sort of slides in and out of itself.

-Oh, my goodness me!

0:43:150:43:19

-The second is, it has to bend.

-Oh! Oh!

0:43:190:43:22

This isn't the bad bit. The bad bit is if you start to push...

0:43:220:43:25

-Oh, my goodness me! Oh!

-Ah!

0:43:250:43:29

Oh, crikey!

0:43:300:43:32

And you can also...

0:43:320:43:34

-No, no, no, no!

-Oh, blimey!

0:43:340:43:36

-What are you doing?

-Well, you just need to...

0:43:360:43:38

-SNAPPING NOISE

-Oh! Sorry.

0:43:380:43:40

Yikes! Don't try that at home.

0:43:400:43:42

..put it back into place, ready to go.

0:43:420:43:44

-Are you...? Are you all right?

-I am. I am ready to perform now.

0:43:440:43:47

But before I do, I will get rid of my sleeves

0:43:470:43:50

so you know there's nothing untoward about that.

0:43:500:43:54

So, something using four large, old silver dollars.

0:43:540:43:57

And the idea is that I won't touch the coins,

0:43:570:44:00

-I'll keep my hands above them at all times.

-OK.

0:44:000:44:02

If I wave, one coin jumps,

0:44:020:44:04

followed by the second one

0:44:040:44:07

and the third one.

0:44:070:44:09

Then one coin goes back,

0:44:090:44:11

and another,

0:44:110:44:12

and another.

0:44:120:44:14

And covering them all for just a moment,

0:44:140:44:17

they go together,

0:44:170:44:19

until...

0:44:190:44:20

STEFANIE LAUGHS

0:44:200:44:21

-Can I shake your hand?

-Absolutely.

0:44:210:44:24

I'm absolutely in awe of you.

0:44:240:44:27

-Thank you very much.

-I really am.

0:44:270:44:28

Gosh!

0:44:280:44:30

I wonder if our teams can work the same wonders

0:44:300:44:33

creating profits at auction? Ha!

0:44:330:44:35

Let's see how they rate each other's chances, as they reveal all.

0:44:350:44:40

-We spent all our money.

-All your money?

-Bar five pounds.

0:44:400:44:43

Bar five pounds, but we bought this wonderful array of items...

0:44:430:44:47

Oh, my goodness! Don might be intrigued by that.

0:44:470:44:50

Well, it fitted the head of my lady,

0:44:500:44:53

so we had to buy it, right?

0:44:530:44:55

Well, we did. It so reminded me of Chorus Line.

0:44:550:44:59

I have seen those die.

0:44:590:45:01

-Excuse me?

-I have seen those die at auction.

-Have you, really?

0:45:010:45:05

-Look at that! Perfect.

-It's mint.

-It is.

-It's absolute mint.

0:45:050:45:09

-Look at that. Isn't that divine?

-That is mint. Obviously an unwanted gift.

0:45:090:45:13

-Yes.

-Let's move on. Let's move right along.

-It's our big risk.

0:45:130:45:16

-Yes.

-On the roller coaster, we'll ride high with these.

0:45:160:45:19

Right, just take the top off.

0:45:190:45:21

-I think the top will come off now, we might go bang.

-Let's go.

0:45:210:45:24

OK, ready? Three...

0:45:240:45:25

-Oh, lovely.

-Isn't that beautiful?

0:45:250:45:27

-Yes, an oriental panel.

-But it is high risk. And what's it worth?

0:45:270:45:31

On a good day, I think you'll be fine. It's just tomorrow it could...

0:45:310:45:35

-Not be a good day.

-Give it a go, girl. You've got to go.

0:45:350:45:37

Yes, you've got to go, girl.

0:45:370:45:39

We have to hope then that there's no way of predicting it.

0:45:390:45:42

Let's see what you have.

0:45:420:45:43

-We're so excited about this.

-Are you really?

0:45:430:45:46

-Oh, look at that.

-Is that..?

0:45:460:45:49

-Oh, the zither.

-The zither.

-Early 20th century zither.

0:45:490:45:52

-The zither, I love.

-Yes.

0:45:520:45:54

-It's in good condition, is it?

-Yes.

0:45:540:45:56

Extremely good condition. It works.

0:45:560:45:59

Fascinating, the stitchery, that you have the stitchery as well.

0:45:590:46:02

-Yes, this is the sampler with the date on it.

-Oh, "Hope."

0:46:020:46:05

This is what the auction's about, hope tomorrow.

0:46:050:46:08

It's a really good mix. Don, good luck.

0:46:080:46:11

Good luck and let's hope we do very well.

0:46:110:46:14

-I'd love to shake your hand.

-Hold that for him.

0:46:140:46:16

-I'll hold that and you shake hands.

-Good luck, Don.

0:46:160:46:18

-Good luck tomorrow.

-Good man.

-Good luck tomorrow, OK?

0:46:180:46:22

May the best team win, but may we all make a profit.

0:46:220:46:24

So, it's all good wishes and bonhomie,

0:46:240:46:26

but what did they really think?

0:46:260:46:29

Very strong lots. I think, er...

0:46:290:46:31

her poster because obviously that's connected to her

0:46:310:46:35

-and that great big wooden carving thing.

-Really, you like that?

0:46:350:46:40

-I did quite like it.

-With the herons?

0:46:400:46:42

I like the herons, yes. Yes, I probably would, you know.

0:46:420:46:44

I think they bought very well. I like their box.

0:46:440:46:48

I think that's a real bargain at £115.

0:46:480:46:50

But hand on heart, would I want any of their other items? No.

0:46:500:46:54

I think we're even-stevens. I wasn't actually wowed by their things.

0:46:540:46:59

-Were you?

-No. They made no impression on me whatsoever.

0:46:590:47:04

Am I happy with our items? Yes.

0:47:040:47:07

We will ride high, with five out of six

0:47:070:47:09

and then, my sweet half of America,

0:47:090:47:12

we'll go to your picture and then we might crash.

0:47:120:47:16

-I hope it's a soft landing.

-HE LAUGHS

0:47:160:47:19

Auction day sees our celebrities and experts heading south

0:47:190:47:22

to Billingshurst, West Sussex. Ah...

0:47:220:47:26

Bellmans holds monthly sales of up to 2,000 fine art collectors lots.

0:47:260:47:32

Morning.

0:47:320:47:34

The teams are unsure how their purchases will do,

0:47:340:47:37

but they're putting on a brave face.

0:47:370:47:40

-Nothing to fear but fear itself!

-Apart from the stair.

0:47:400:47:43

-£75, £70...

-Auctioneer Will Pasfield

0:47:460:47:49

is the man with the best chance of predicting profits correctly.

0:47:490:47:53

So what does he make of the eclectic lots?

0:47:530:47:56

'The first thing we've got up is the black zither,'

0:47:560:47:58

from Don and Marge. I think that could be a bit of a tricky sale.

0:47:580:48:01

Not many people play the zither any more,

0:48:010:48:04

so I'm going to struggle with that one.

0:48:040:48:06

Charles and Stefanie have bought the beaten copper mirror.

0:48:060:48:08

It's a very nice thing.

0:48:080:48:10

It's a nice, small mirror. It can go anywhere in the house.

0:48:100:48:12

I personally would like to see it hanging in my downstairs loo,

0:48:120:48:15

but unfortunately, I'm not allowed to bid on it.

0:48:150:48:17

Charles and Stefanie have bought The Magnificent Seven poster.

0:48:170:48:20

It's also signed by Stefanie herself.

0:48:200:48:22

I'm not too sure how dry the ink is on the signature,

0:48:220:48:25

but posters are always popular, so we'll see what we can do with that.

0:48:250:48:29

As to which team wins today,

0:48:290:48:30

I wouldn't like to call it. It's pretty close.

0:48:300:48:32

They both bought some pretty good lots, to be honest

0:48:320:48:34

and they've both bought some pretty bad lots as well.

0:48:340:48:37

Oh, gosh. Hold on for a bumpy ride then.

0:48:370:48:40

Each of our teams started with £400.

0:48:420:48:43

Stefanie and Charles spent £395 on six lots,

0:48:430:48:47

whilst Don and Margie, pushed for time,

0:48:470:48:52

bought only five lots for a total of £328.

0:48:520:48:55

Let battle commence, eh?

0:48:550:48:58

-Good luck, Don.

-Thank you.

-And the others. Good luck.

0:48:590:49:02

First up is Don and Margie's pretty zither.

0:49:020:49:06

And who's going to start me off at £10 for the zither? £10.

0:49:060:49:09

£10 bid in the front row...

0:49:090:49:10

Well done. Well done.

0:49:100:49:12

Do I see 15 anywhere? 15 and 20, Jill. 20. 20, I see and five now.

0:49:120:49:15

No, they say. £20 in the front row. Do I see five anywhere?

0:49:150:49:19

Five from anyone else? It's £20, front row. All done at £20?

0:49:190:49:24

Oh dear. The zither's out of tune, leaving Don down.

0:49:260:49:31

I'm not happy, I'm afraid.

0:49:310:49:33

-You're not happy?

-No, I'm not. No, no, no, no.

0:49:330:49:36

I'm very depressed about the zither. Really depressed.

0:49:360:49:39

Stefanie and Charles' top hat is next.

0:49:390:49:44

-£20 is bid. Do I see five now? Five anywhere?

-Go on. Keep going.

0:49:440:49:48

-That's it, one more.

-..and five and 40. The computer's flashing as well.

0:49:480:49:52

-Yes, there's internet bids!

-40 now, computer, if you want to bid.

0:49:520:49:55

It's gone quiet, I'm afraid. No, it's £35 on my left. 40, new face.

0:49:550:49:58

-And five now? Five anywhere? Five and 50...

-One more. Yes!

-..and five.

0:49:580:50:03

-No, at five they go. And 60?

-Yes!

0:50:030:50:06

They're waiting in the wings to bid. 60 has it, five? 70, sir?

0:50:060:50:09

-You can have a go now.

-Go on, sir!

-£70, sir? It's 65, back of the room.

0:50:090:50:13

Do I see 70 anywhere? Gentleman back of the room at £65. All done at 65?

0:50:130:50:19

It's a topping start for Stefanie and Charles's ambitions.

0:50:190:50:23

-Brilliant.

-Yay!

-Yes! £35 profit.

-So we made £35.

0:50:230:50:27

Now it's a decidedly unpredictable lot.

0:50:270:50:30

The quiver and arrows that caught Don's eye.

0:50:300:50:33

And who's going to start me off at £20? £20? £20?

0:50:330:50:37

£20? £10? £10?

0:50:370:50:38

Come on, put your hand up, you can buy it for £10.

0:50:380:50:42

£10 is bid on my left. Do I see 15?

0:50:420:50:44

-Well done.

-I've got 10, who's got 15? Who chose this?

0:50:440:50:48

The man hiding. I've got £10 bid.

0:50:480:50:51

Do I see 15 anywhere? 15, anyone?

0:50:510:50:54

I'm selling them for £10. To my left, in the room, at £10.

0:50:540:50:58

No bull's-eye there, I'm afraid, Don. It's another loss.

0:50:580:51:02

So, we're 50 quid down.

0:51:020:51:04

-I'm beginning to sulk now.

-Don't start leaping about, Hanson.

0:51:040:51:07

Keep the faith.

0:51:070:51:08

Stefanie and Charles's horseracing game is next.

0:51:080:51:12

Racing certainty or non-runner?

0:51:120:51:14

-£10 is bid. Do I see 15? 15 and 20?

-Come on. Keep going, sir.

0:51:140:51:19

£20. No? It's £15 on the left. 20, I see. Five? Five anywhere?

0:51:190:51:23

-Keep going!

-20 on the back right now...

-Keep going.

-..and five. 30.

0:51:230:51:28

Did you move? No? It's £35 left. All done? Selling for £35.

0:51:280:51:34

Bit of a donkey derby, as it turns out,

0:51:340:51:36

with only a modest £5 profit before commission.

0:51:360:51:40

After two losses,

0:51:430:51:44

Don and Margie hope their railway sign might get them back on track!

0:51:440:51:48

I've got bids on here that takes me up to £50.

0:51:480:51:51

Who's got five now? Five anywhere? Five anywhere?

0:51:510:51:53

Oh, no. Come on.

0:51:530:51:55

It's a commissioned bid. I'm looking for a five somewhere.

0:51:550:51:58

-It's on, 55, I see. At 60. And five, sir?

-More!

0:51:580:52:00

70, and five? No. Still with me at £70.

0:52:000:52:03

Five from anyone else?

0:52:030:52:05

Are we all done at £70?

0:52:050:52:08

Well, with a £5 profit, at least they're out of the sidings.

0:52:080:52:11

Cheering news for despondent Don.

0:52:110:52:14

-Ah, you see!

-Very good. Well done, Don. Congratulations.

0:52:140:52:17

-Thank you very much.

-First profit. STEFANIE: It's your first profit.

0:52:170:52:21

The auctioneer's favourite is next, the Arts and Crafts mirror.

0:52:210:52:26

And I've got £20 bid on this lot.

0:52:260:52:27

Do I see five? Five, 30, five. 40, five...

0:52:270:52:30

-Keep going, come on!

-£45 bid.

0:52:300:52:32

-Do I see five anywhere?

-Keep going.

-Five anywhere? Five, 50, and five?

0:52:320:52:35

One more...

0:52:350:52:37

55. Who's got 60 anywhere? 60 anywhere?

0:52:390:52:42

It's £55 in the room. 60, new face. And five?

0:52:420:52:45

You're not getting it that easily. 60. It's lovely.

0:52:450:52:48

£65, do you want it?

0:52:480:52:50

-THEY LAUGH

-£65. 70?

0:52:500:52:53

He shakes his head at the back. It's £65 on the right. Do I see 70 now?

0:52:530:52:56

-All done at £65?

-That's good.

0:52:560:52:58

That's a respectable profit

0:52:580:53:01

and builds on Team Power's handsome lead.

0:53:010:53:04

It's Stefanie and Charles's sampler now.

0:53:040:53:07

It's colourful but not as old as Margie and Don's.

0:53:070:53:12

£10 is bid. Looking for 15 now. 15 anywhere?

0:53:120:53:14

-15 anywhere?

-I love this. Come on.

-15 on the net.

0:53:140:53:18

20. And five on the net.

0:53:180:53:20

25 on the net. And 30 now.

0:53:200:53:22

And five on the net. £30 in the room.

0:53:220:53:24

They're hovering over the bid button. No?

0:53:240:53:27

It's £30 in the room...

0:53:270:53:29

-What did you pay?

-£30.

-35, new face.

0:53:290:53:32

And 40. No? Internet, you can come back now. At £40.

0:53:320:53:36

I've got 35 in the room.

0:53:360:53:37

Do you want it at 40? Don't let it slip through your mouse.

0:53:370:53:40

-No? It's £35 has it. All done, selling for £35...

-Oh, shame.

0:53:400:53:45

Oh, it's a very slender £5 profit, which means a loss after commission.

0:53:450:53:50

Next, it's Margie and Don's writing slope, their most expensive buy.

0:53:500:53:54

And I'm straight in at £35.

0:53:540:53:56

Who's got 40 now? Who's got 40 anywhere?

0:53:560:54:00

40, five, 50, He says no,

0:54:000:54:02

-but the computer's flashing.

-Keep going.

-£45 with me.

0:54:020:54:05

50 on the net. 55 on the net.

0:54:050:54:07

I've got one more commission at 60.

0:54:070:54:08

It's 65 now on the net if you want to bid.

0:54:080:54:10

-Five anywhere else?

-Oh, that's absolutely ridiculous.

0:54:100:54:13

One more bid from anyone?

0:54:130:54:15

-It's with me at £60. All done at 60?

-That is absolutely...

0:54:150:54:19

It's a beautiful piece, gone for a song and Don's back in the dumps.

0:54:190:54:24

I'm really depressed now.

0:54:240:54:26

That's great(!) That's fantastic(!)

0:54:260:54:28

I have never seen a box of that quality go so cheap.

0:54:280:54:32

Stefanie's signed a film poster in the hope of magnificent profits.

0:54:320:54:38

£30 anywhere? Who's going? £30 is bid. 35.

0:54:380:54:41

-And 40, five...

-Oh, there's a fight.

0:54:410:54:43

50...

0:54:430:54:45

And five. 55.

0:54:450:54:48

Keep going.

0:54:480:54:50

-And 60, and five.

-Go on, sir.

0:54:500:54:52

-She's here as well.

-70?

-She'll give you a kiss, sir.

-75, sir?

0:54:520:54:56

-New face, 75 and 80.

-Yes, come on!

0:54:560:54:59

And five, new face again. 90.

0:54:590:55:01

-And five.

-She'll give you a kiss and a cuddle.

-100, round it off.

0:55:010:55:04

100 and ten.

0:55:040:55:06

We've broken even, we've broken even.

0:55:060:55:08

-120.

-She'll give you a kiss.

-130. 140...

0:55:080:55:13

-150.

-Whoa!

-160, he says no, it's pushed him off.

0:55:130:55:17

160, sir? Don't be bullied.

0:55:170:55:19

-160. You don't want it for 160. It's £150 on my right.

-Brilliant.

0:55:190:55:23

-One more.

-If we're all done, I'm selling for £150.

0:55:230:55:27

-Brilliant, thank you, sir, very much.

-Yes, Michael, yes!

0:55:270:55:29

Hollywood history nets a tidy profit.

0:55:290:55:33

But film star kisses aren't in the rules.

0:55:330:55:36

Don and Margie's final lot is the sampler

0:55:360:55:40

and it needs to do incredibly well.

0:55:400:55:42

Ten is bid. Looking for 15 now. 15 anywhere for the sampler?

0:55:420:55:46

-15 on the net...

-Keep going.

-And 20. And five on the net now.

0:55:460:55:49

Five on the net. 25. 30, it's jumping. 30. 35 on the net now.

0:55:490:55:53

It's £40 on the net now. 45 on the net now. 50 on the net now.

0:55:530:55:58

£55, it's settled. 60, sir? 60 has it.

0:55:580:56:02

65 now on the net, if you want to bid. 65 on the net. 65. And 70.

0:56:020:56:07

And five on the net now if you want to bid.

0:56:070:56:08

Come on, keep going! It's our last lot!

0:56:080:56:12

-No, sure?

-You sure? Are you positive?

-£75 on the net.

0:56:120:56:16

80 from anywhere else? It's on the net, £75.

0:56:160:56:18

-At 75.

-Missed it.

0:56:180:56:21

Oh, dear.

0:56:220:56:24

No grand finale for Team Warrington.

0:56:240:56:26

That's us, we're finished.

0:56:260:56:28

It's not over though until the last lot, Don

0:56:280:56:31

and it's Stefanie and Charles's big gamble, the marquetry picture.

0:56:310:56:36

-£30 is bid. Do I see five now?

-Keep going.

-Five and 40.

0:56:360:56:41

-It's got to go, it's got to go.

-And five, and 50, and five. And 60.

0:56:410:56:44

-There's a phone bid.

-And five. No?

0:56:440:56:46

-Come on.

-£60 has it on the right.

0:56:460:56:48

I'm looking for five now. Internet, 65.

0:56:480:56:50

Do you want it on the internet at £65? £60 on the right. 65 and 70

0:56:500:56:55

and five and 80. And five.

0:56:550:56:57

-Keep going.

-£80 on the right-hand side.

0:56:570:56:59

-Do I see five anywhere else?

-Keep going.

-£85. That's it.

0:56:590:57:02

Do I see 90 anywhere? It's with Mike, £85. All done, £85...

0:57:020:57:08

We could be out.

0:57:080:57:09

Ouch! It's all over now,

0:57:090:57:11

with a whopping last-minute loss for Team Powers.

0:57:110:57:15

-What a shame. You took a gamble.

-Shall we go and have a cup of tea?

0:57:150:57:18

-Let's go.

-Let's go.

0:57:180:57:20

It's been a bumpy ride for both teams,

0:57:220:57:25

but despite the marquetry mishap, Stefanie and Charles

0:57:250:57:28

are the winners, as they lost the least money.

0:57:280:57:31

Our celebrities began with £400 each.

0:57:330:57:36

After losses and commission, Don and Margie are down by £135.30,

0:57:360:57:42

so they end the road trip with just £264.70.

0:57:420:57:48

Stefanie and Charles did rather better, losing £38.30 in total,

0:57:480:57:53

so they end the road trip with £361.70,

0:57:530:57:57

so, sadly, no profits were made today.

0:57:570:58:00

-It's been a slice of heaven.

-Yes. Absolutely. Well done.

0:58:000:58:03

-We must do this again.

-We will.

0:58:030:58:06

Actually, I think Charles was the one in heaven. At least for a while.

0:58:060:58:10

Right now, for Margie, it's back to hell on four wheels.

0:58:100:58:14

-This awful buggy!

-Cheerio.

-Bye. Bye!

-Take care.

-Lovely to see you.

0:58:140:58:19

-Bye, love.

-Loved your work.

0:58:190:58:21

Thanks. To-da-loo.

0:58:210:58:25

Goodbye!
