0:00:02 > 0:00:03- TIM WONNACOTT:- Some of the nation's favourite celebrities...
0:00:03 > 0:00:07What if we said 150 for the two? Then you've got yourself a deal.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08..one antiques expert each...
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Thank you, baby!
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Da da da-da da-da da-da da!
0:00:13 > 0:00:15..and one big challenge - who can seek out
0:00:15 > 0:00:19and buy the best antiques at the very best prices...
0:00:19 > 0:00:20I can feel something.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22THEY LAUGH
0:00:22 > 0:00:25..and auction for a big profit further down the road?
0:00:28 > 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!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Welcome to West Yorkshire -
0:00:54 > 0:00:592,029 square kilometres of gorgeous Britain.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Whee...!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05And now a haven for two light-footed celebrities
0:01:05 > 0:01:08with £400 each and antiques in their sights.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11That's not their back view, by the way. Ha!
0:01:11 > 0:01:15From the world of dance, we have both sides of the judging arena.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Mirror, signal, manoeuvre.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Watch that man!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21All right. Oh, my God!
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Oh, my God!
0:01:24 > 0:01:28She is the girl who changed choreography
0:01:28 > 0:01:31and who outraged the censors with Hot Gossip
0:01:31 > 0:01:34and helped a nation to dance better.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Now here for your viewing pleasure, it's Arlene Phillips.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44And Arlene's glamorous partner is this fine young specimen.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49A stalwart of the ballroom, a veteran of Strictly
0:01:49 > 0:01:53and a man who faces adversity with grace and poise.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59He's the outgoing rear of the year - he's Anton du Beke.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Are you looking forward to two days of this?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I'm very much looking forward to two days of this.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I can't think of anything I'd rather do.
0:02:06 > 0:02:12And while our celebrities savour their affable 1969 Ford Cortina,
0:02:12 > 0:02:17they simply cannot find auction prospects all on their lonesome.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Do you know who the experts are? - No, not a clue.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- I hope he's a good expert. - Yeah, I hope he's an expert!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- I hope he's knowledgeable. An expert expert.- An expert expert.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- I'd like an expert. - Not just any old expert.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27- Not any old jobby.- God, no.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Oh, no! In an ideal world,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33the finest expert minds would be at Arlene and Anton's disposal.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35But today...
0:02:35 > 0:02:37There you go. Very good for the buttocks.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39If we build up a sweat for you,
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Arlene will see your real credentials for dancing.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45HE LAUGHS
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Oh. Right, take it away. Take it away.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Hmm.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55A surveyor and auctioneer,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59he's done 25 years' hard antiques labour.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03He loves fine furniture and great British design.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Don't do it, madam. Don't do it.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08He's James Braxton.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11What should I do, James?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13And I know what you're thinking -
0:03:13 > 0:03:18school's out early, and that chap needs a haircut.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21However, he's a successful auctioneer,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25he's a shrewd businessman, he's a bit of a charmer.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29He's Charles Hanson. And he's cool. Well, he thinks so.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Following in their almost reliable 1982 Citroen 2CV,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36our experts are dressed to impress.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I always wanted to be a dancer.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Did you? Really? You've got the figure for it, Charles.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42I'm often told I'm a very good dancer.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I am the total opposite of you, Charles.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47HE LAUGHS
0:03:47 > 0:03:50When the music starts, I think
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I can cut some shapes on the dancefloor,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55but everybody around me tells me I can't.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- My old singing teacher went to see you in Oh! Calcutta!- Oh, my gosh!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Where you were dancing with your kit off.- Yeah, I was.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- I tried to get Ann Widdecombe to do that but she wasn't having it.- Yay!
0:04:06 > 0:04:09I know, you said we'd never make it!
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- I used to be called Twinkletoes. - Did you?- Twinkletoes Hanson.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Well, he may be light on his feet, but he's also late.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Hello!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Hello!- Perfect, perfect. - Well done, Charles.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Take it easy, take it easy.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Dancing feet.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Exactly, exactly.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Come on, give us a shuffle!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29THEY LAUGH
0:04:29 > 0:04:30I am the most wooden man ever!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Look at this!- How are you?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Good to see you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- I'm James, how are you? - I'm Arlene.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Nice to see you, Arlene, good to see you.- Nice to meet you.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- How are you?- I'm good, I'm really good. So, what happens now?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Antiques.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- And you're an expert? - I'm an expert.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- And you're an expert.- Absolutely.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54And I'm a bit more of a mover. This man needs some practice.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Give me your hand.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58THEY LAUGH
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Very good.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Good moves, good moves. Come on, Eileen. Arlene.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Come on, Arlene.- Arlene!
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Come on, Arlene.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06It's Arlene, by the way!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Nice one, James, get the name right(!)
0:05:10 > 0:05:13So our celebrities now have a sort of expert and £400 each.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Bring on the rummaging.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18They will take in the best of the west of Yorkshire
0:05:18 > 0:05:22before hopping over borders to Lancashire and Merseyside
0:05:22 > 0:05:26for an imminent, decisive Liverpudlian auction
0:05:26 > 0:05:28in just two days' time.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32First, glorious Cullingworth opens its doors,
0:05:32 > 0:05:36and the local antiques fair here on the third Sunday of every month
0:05:36 > 0:05:39will need to give everyone a good start.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Anton, this is it.- Ah!
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- This is it, this is what you call antiques.- Is it?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Are you a collector?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I do like old sort of...um...things.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Well, that sounds... sort of like antiques.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56Maybe Arlene can throw herself in more sort of wholeheartedly, maybe.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02"The Yorkshire Stone Castle". Ruined castle, 1860s, watercolour.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Someone's framed them in rather ugly frames.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Don't say that, it's probably the lady here!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10It's a matter of opinion, isn't it?
0:06:10 > 0:06:11- Quite.- Yeah, I suppose so.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15I was just about to say how beautifully framed they were.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Anton, I'll test you. What is an antique?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Something aged, would it be?
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Yeah. Aged, it must be 100 years old. 100.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27So think pre-Titanic, think Edwardian and earlier,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30and all these objects here, they're collectable.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32We have £400 to spend.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I think we can get lunch out of that, don't you?
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Not really the spirit!
0:06:36 > 0:06:40If Anton can't offer Charles enthusiasm, then, well,
0:06:40 > 0:06:41what can he offer?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I want to walk round the antiques fair today with a swagger,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46almost to follow your lead,
0:06:46 > 0:06:50and to see how I can evolve myself as a dancer.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51- Really?- Yeah, I do, yeah.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Well, it will start from the floor up.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Oh, look, it's a stalking party. 1895.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01So when Queen Victoria made the Highlands so fashionable
0:07:01 > 0:07:04with the purchase of Balmoral
0:07:04 > 0:07:06and society moved for the 12th of August
0:07:06 > 0:07:11up to the Highlands for grouse shooting and then stalking.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- This is the beautiful 12th, or whatever it was called.- Yeah.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15- Glorious twelfth.- Glorious 12th.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18If it wasn't antiques, it'd be dancing. I really mean it.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Yes, yes. I think you have a natural talent.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22You have something in there that we can work on.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24You're going to walk properly. So stand tall,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26and you're going to walk naturally,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28because if you can't walk, as Josephine Bradley said -
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- you would have liked her - you can't possibly dance.- OK, OK.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35So I'm going to walk, see? My feet, natural swinging leg action here.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Natural, natural, natural. I do a little turn and I walk back.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Don't turn on your heels, dear. Keep walking.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44This doesn't look much like shopping, does it?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Do a turn. On your toes.- Oh!
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Whilst Charles works on his new career,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Arlene is expanding her horizons in the field of antiques appraisal.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55What could you do this for?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- 45.- 45. I think that's a great price
0:07:58 > 0:08:00and I think it would be churlish...
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- So, £45...- £45.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06..is on our very, very, very first purchase.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Well done. That's great.- Well done!
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Arlene's got straight down to some serious antiques business already.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16This girl certainly knows what she wants,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20and I'm sure the boys are busy shopping too. Right?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Now walk.- Maybe not.- Yes? - Yeah, walk. Keep the body up.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Roll through your feet. Don't go up and down.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Turn. Good turn! - Really good turn.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Grip. You must grip both buttocks.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Never mind about buttocks, how about gripping some shopping?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I love this.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43She is glam, isn't she? Very glam.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I love this.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Marilyn Monroe.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Oh, my God, look at the bathing belle and her ball.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Now, which one do you like out of the both or do you like them both?
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Well, OK. I love the Marilyn because of the pose,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02because of the look, I love the colours,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06but this one feels to me that if you put her up in auction,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09people would be going bump, bump, bump.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I'd like to take it off your hands.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16What do you really think I could get this bathing belle for?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18It's 75, and that's it.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Could we do it for 70?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- No.- 75.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Lovely, thank you very much. - Should we leave here?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Let's move on out of here, let's go!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Yeah, let's go to another antiques shop. Come on.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31That's two in the bag for Team Arlene.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Feels like Anton and Charles are just...
0:09:34 > 0:09:36dragging their feet, frankly.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39There's a plethora of history on this table.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Of an antique history.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44And where are you swaying to?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Well, a nice scent bottle over there I saw earlier. Look at that.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- It's blue enamelled on top. - Yeah. What do we think about that?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54It says made by Adie Brothers of Birmingham, 1902.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59So this was made, let's say, 10 years before Titanic sank.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Is it collectable?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Oh, absolutely. Silver hallmark, look, that's all-important...
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- that lion there confirms it's solid silver.- Keep going.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08That's nostalgia, OK?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11And then you sort of throw your arms out, can't you,
0:10:11 > 0:10:12and you can believe in it.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Oh. Hey, can you feel it?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19I think Anton's beginning to feel something. Oh, Lord.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Could a £90 perfume bottle awake his senses?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Anton, you know, I'm here to serve you.- Are you?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- I'm here to...- Advise me.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34..advise you and I would like to buy
0:10:34 > 0:10:36a good scent bottle for about £60.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40What do you think, £70?
0:10:40 > 0:10:41- £70.- What do you think?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44We'll give you 70 of our best pounds for it.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46OK. For you. Just for you.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Should have said 65. I told you!
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Let's hope we've awoken Anton's inner antique shopping sense
0:10:51 > 0:10:53with that long-awaited purchase.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Right. Well, I'm very happy with that.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57One down.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01However, the competition are hot-footing it and are on the move.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07When I actually go looking for antique bargains,
0:11:07 > 0:11:14I'm up at 5am and I'm hitting the markets with the traders
0:11:14 > 0:11:19and I'm getting worried that it's getting a little bit late.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- We're a bit casual about this, aren't we?- Yeah.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23So you are an early bird?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I am an early bird when I decide to go hunting.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32And now the Road Trip leads Arlene and James due north
0:11:32 > 0:11:36by a whopping nine miles to Keighley on the outskirts of Bradford.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Keighley has been home to the greats.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Former residents include Mollie Sugden,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47aka Mrs Slocombe of Are You Being Served?,
0:11:47 > 0:11:49and actor Peter Mayhew,
0:11:49 > 0:11:54better known as Chewbacca from the once-popular Star Wars films.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Were you ever in Hot Gossip?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00No, I wasn't IN Hot Gossip - I created Hot Gossip.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05You created it. So have you always been sort of more choreographer?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I fell into choreography by accident.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10I was babysitting for Ridley Scott.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Really?!
0:12:12 > 0:12:13HE LAUGHS
0:12:13 > 0:12:15No, I know. This is a true story.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19And he was offered the job of creating a commercial
0:12:19 > 0:12:23for Lyons Maid ice cream with a dancing cow and a milk maid,
0:12:23 > 0:12:27and he said to me, "Could you do a few steps?"
0:12:27 > 0:12:29And it went on from there.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30So that was...Ridley Scott?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32That was my start.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33That is quite a start.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35A very good start.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Right, Arlene, here we are.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Fabulous.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45A lady of your calibre, to the front door, I think, with you.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Thank you.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Arlene and James have begun well,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51and Keighley's tantalising Heathcoat Antiques
0:12:51 > 0:12:54could help them stay ahead of the game. Owner Michael is here to help
0:12:54 > 0:12:58and has a selection of silver items to tempt them with.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Now, what is this? What are they?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03So that looks like...
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Are they studs or buttons?
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Yeah, a dress set. 14-carat fronts.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09And these are 14 quid, are they?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11No, they're 14 carat.
0:13:11 > 0:13:1214 c... Sorry.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- TIM LAUGHS - Keep up, James!
0:13:15 > 0:13:18But clearly, Team Arlene has set their sights on buying
0:13:18 > 0:13:20a number of quality items.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Keen searching unearthed a gold, dress stud set,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27a silver-topped jar,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29a Georgian silver tablespoon,
0:13:29 > 0:13:33a pair of napkin rings, all for a bargain £20.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37That's a gift. Oh, and an enamel box, priced at 68.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38What's your best price on that?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- 40.- 40.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I think you'll make a profit on that.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44You know what, Michael, I'm trusting you.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46HE LAUGHS
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Don't let me down, because I'll be back. OK.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51So we're going to have that?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54I think we should have this. I definitely think we should have...
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Those for 20?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Yes. That's a no-brainer. - Well done. We've bought four lots.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02So that's a cool £40 for the enamel box
0:14:02 > 0:14:06and £20 for the silver and gold collection. Great!
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Money, James. - There you are.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Thank you, baby.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Talking of infants,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15the day's shopping triumphs are feeling a little one-sided.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20As a young boy, when did you realise you had...
0:14:20 > 0:14:22twinkletoes?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24When I looked down and I had princess slippers on!
0:14:24 > 0:14:26THEY LAUGH
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I started dancing when I was about 13 or 14.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31And pretty soon after that, I thought,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33"This is something I'd really like to do."
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Doubling back from Keighley,
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Anton and Charles are heading for an indulgence.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Four miles southwest lies the very pretty village of Haworth,
0:14:43 > 0:14:48world-famous birthplace of the literary Bronte sisters
0:14:48 > 0:14:49and, interestingly, twinned with
0:14:49 > 0:14:52the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu in Peru.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55That's bonkers.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57But I feel as though
0:14:57 > 0:15:01we are making chemistry together, aren't we?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04The dancing and the antiques are coming together.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- I can take that lady... - ..who's a powerhouse...
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I would use other words than powerhouse.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Perhaps I'll give you the terminology.- Yes, please.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Beautiful, words like that. They appreciate that, words like that.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- Magnificent, they love that word. - All the dancers?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Heavyweight, not so keen.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Charles may have a lot to learn about ballroom etiquette,
0:15:27 > 0:15:31but he does know how to show a celebrity a good time.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Local artisan Robin is waiting to meet our boys and show them
0:15:35 > 0:15:39his rather unique business, run from his back garden workshop.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Hello, sir. - Good to meet you. I'm Robin.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Hi, Robin.- Have you come to do some clog-making?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47The exact origin of clogs is obscure,
0:15:47 > 0:15:52but they are possibly the oldest form of footwear in the world.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55These are not the familiar hollowed-out Dutch clog
0:15:55 > 0:15:59but a wooden-soled leather-uppered shoe.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Traditionally associated with Yorkshire and Lancashire,
0:16:03 > 0:16:07the Industrial Revolution saw clogs worn all over Britain,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10from northern textile mills to London fish docks.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12During the Victorian period,
0:16:12 > 0:16:16clogs were worn mainly by the working class,
0:16:16 > 0:16:20and a pair could've set you back between two and three shillings.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Robin bought Greenwood Clogs in 2005
0:16:23 > 0:16:26to preserve the local craft
0:16:26 > 0:16:29and continue supplying local farmers. Oo-arr!
0:16:29 > 0:16:31This is the workshop.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Let's see if we can all fit in.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38I've seen lots of workshops but never a workshop full of clogs.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39This is a farmer's clog.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42It's got a leather upper, chrome leather,
0:16:42 > 0:16:43which is quite hard-wearing.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48It's machine-stitched, this type of upper, on a treadle sewing machine.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Unbelievable. - Then it's nailed to the sole.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I think that's one advantage for farmers,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57because walking in all that manure and fertiliser,
0:16:57 > 0:16:58the stitching can rot,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00whereas nails are pretty hard-wearing.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01When making a pair of clogs,
0:17:01 > 0:17:05the first thing you start with is a drawing of the person's foot.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09We make some measurements across the foot, just to check the size.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Some people have higher arches than others.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Any sensitive areas, like bunions or bony bits...
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- What size feet are you?- I am about eight and a half. What are you?
0:17:19 > 0:17:24- Any bunions?- No bunions. No ingrown toenails or anything unpleasant.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- Any bony bits?- No, only the bits which should be bony.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30I suppose being a dancer... I have flat arches. Are yours quite high?
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Have you got dropped arches?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- I'm afraid I have. - You will never make a dancer.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36You can slip that in
0:17:36 > 0:17:39and just ease the leather out, like that.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Every street had one at one time.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- So you just push the leather out? - Yes. I love these old tools.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48There are so many different tools with different purposes.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51That looks a bit alarming at first sight, doesn't it?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53It looks like a torture instrument.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56How many people today are carrying on this tradition of clog-making?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Maybe a dozen...- Really? - ..I can think of.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01In some areas, clog-making is a lost art.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05But the small group who carry on the tradition are passionate
0:18:05 > 0:18:08about the product and the skills involved in their construction.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Robin uses the soft wood alder to fashion the soles,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17as the timber is water-resistant.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18So you hold this in your right hand
0:18:18 > 0:18:20and wedge the wood in place like that.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- Then you can just shave off little bits like that.- Oh, wow.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25So you do a lot of curling?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28It is the leverage that makes it easier to carve the wood.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It's like slicing through butter. Would you like to have a go?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Could I have a go? Would you mind terribly?
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Yeah. Hold that in your left hand.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Shall I hold it for you? - No, don't get involved.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Just... The main thing to remember...
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- Look at that. How's that? - Great. A natural, I think.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53- It's a nice feeling, actually, isn't it?- It is. It is quite therapeutic.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- Oh, it's a little...- Fantastic. - I like that word. Fantastic.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03He's bitten off a little more than he can chew there.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- He is fairly hacking at it now. - This is pretty much hacking.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- An old hack. - He's an old hack.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13When you see people like us coming in here, or him to be specific,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16hacking away at your traditional skill,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18does it make your heart sink very slightly?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Does a little bit of your soul die away?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23No, it's nice to see people interested and having a go.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Whilst there are many skills and much care involved in constructing
0:19:27 > 0:19:30a pair of clogs, it is their simplicity that makes them
0:19:30 > 0:19:34so durable and, so some say, very comfortable shoes.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37With Charles and Anton wearing a brand-new pair each,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39what's the next best thing to do?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Have a dance, I suppose.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- How do they feel? - They feel very comfortable, actually,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46in a sort of cloggy kind of way.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49This is my friend, Harry. He's going to show you how to dance.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Hello, Harry.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Good luck with him.- Hi, Harry.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I'm going to show you what we use them for.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Show us a basic move, just the first sort of start off move.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02The first step is step, shuffle, step, shuffle.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Step, shuffle, step, shuffle, step, step, step.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Obviously a lot faster than that.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- So have a go. Good luck. - Yes, thank you.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13After four. Three, four. Step, shuffle, step, shuffle...
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Gosh! Harry is a skilled dancer and musician,
0:20:16 > 0:20:20performing with the clog-wearing Lancashire Wallopers.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Harry's outfit is authentic to a 19th-century bargeman.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29But the more contemporarily clad Charles
0:20:29 > 0:20:32is simply trying his best.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I'm sorry about her at the end there. I do apologise.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37The next one is really, really easy.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Step, drop, step, drop, step.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43For some reason, they call this the Wurzel step. I've no idea why.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Now, here's a thing.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47If you want a pair of dancing clogs,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49then the wood ash is used,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52as, apparently, it produces a better tone.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54ACCORDION MUSIC
0:21:01 > 0:21:02- Go!- Now.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07All together.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Look up.- I'm trying!
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Oh, bravo!- Well done.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16That was very good. Charles, brilliant!
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Was that quite good? - No. Good effort.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Thank you very much indeed. Great to see you.- You're welcome.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26What a wonderful day. Our fortunate celebrity dancer
0:21:26 > 0:21:30has a new pair of dandy clogs and has learned a fantastic new dance.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32And our expert did...
0:21:32 > 0:21:35well, really very well too.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37One, two, three, four.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39ACCORDION MUSIC
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Time to hang up those dancing clogs and bed down now for the night.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49There's a full day's shopping ahead,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52and everyone will need to feel fresh and happy.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Night-night!
0:22:03 > 0:22:07The sun's up, and West Yorkshire is ready for us.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10But is everyone ready for the day?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- This car...- It's a beauty, isn't it?- It's a beauty.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- It's like if you turn the wheel... - It goes eventually.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20It has a mind of its own. I like that.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23That reminds me of some of the women I've danced with.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28Yeah, minds of their own. Trying to lead instead of follow.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Sorry, Jim. I can't find reverse. Can you give me a push?- Come on.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34The Citroen has a mind of its own too.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36More buttock work.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Jim, it's good to stretch. You know what they say about dancing.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Always keep straight hands. - Is it straight hands?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- It's all of this.- Is it?- Yes.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48So far, Arlene Phillips and her suave companion
0:22:48 > 0:22:53have spent £180 on four auction hopefuls.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56The 1895 watercolour,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59the 1920s figurine with beachball,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01the silver and gold job lot,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03and the pretty enamel box.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Arlene and James have £220 left to tango with.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12- I don't think you would do very well with that, I'm afraid.- OK, fine.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Well, you know. You're the expert.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Don't keep saying that. The pressure's on.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21Meanwhile, Anton Du Beck and his willing accomplice
0:23:21 > 0:23:23have spent just £70 on one solitary item.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25They've done a lot of dancing about.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28The silver and enamel perfume bottle.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31With great resolve, new shoes and £330,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Anton and Charles must launch themselves
0:23:34 > 0:23:36into a solid day's rummaging.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- They call it...- A bygone?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- No.- A '70s object?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43No, shut your face! You're not helping at all.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Shops are open, and the teams are back together
0:23:48 > 0:23:49to go their separate ways.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54- '80s has now become vintage. - That's my era.- That's your era.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I was doing the early days
0:23:56 > 0:23:59of the creation of videos for MTV.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Go on, name some names.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Well, I was in New York with Whitney Houston,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07in Detroit with Aretha Franklin,
0:24:07 > 0:24:11I worked with Diana Ross, I worked with Elton John, The Bee Gees...
0:24:11 > 0:24:14It wasn't like working with a Michael Jackson or a Madonna.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Well, just be glad you not working with Charles.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Anton, one of my great hobbies is metal-detecting.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Have you heard of it?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26And your wife, how does she feel about you doing that?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Well, she understands my needs.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Well, I'm glad somebody does, Charles.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Our treasure hunters are off now
0:24:33 > 0:24:34to pastures new.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Leaving Haworth behind,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38the Road Trip heads 10 miles south
0:24:38 > 0:24:41to the handsome village of Mytholmroyd.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Ready to go?- Ready to go.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Are you in that antique-focused mood today?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- I feel very focused on antiques today.- What are you after?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I'm after a bargain that we can sell on for a profit.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Come on.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I know exactly what I'm doing!
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Mytholmroyd is more famous as the birthplace
0:25:03 > 0:25:07of Sylvia Plath's husband, the poet laureate Ted Hughes.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11But today, it is the Caldene Antiques Centre
0:25:11 > 0:25:14which brings our shoppers to town.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Owner Paul is on hand for kindly advice.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22Aren't you feeling at home here? Look above you. A glitterball.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Glitterball! - I could feel something.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29I wasn't quite sure what it was. I thought it was the damp in my knees.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- But it's a glitterball, it's calling.- Exactly.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Do you think they sell the glitterball?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Yes. Everything is for sale.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- Tell me how much it is. - A mere £38, Anton.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42We as sellers, and with your pedigree,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46maybe that would be associated with you in the auction room.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Do you think?- It might generate a public interest in it.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Have you got a plinth I could put it on?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I could turn it into a trophy and present it to myself.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Did you not win it three years ago? - No, let's not talk about it.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Four years ago?- It was no years ago. I don't want to talk about it.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Just leave it, Charles!
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Whilst Anton licks his wounds,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Arlene and James are hot-footing it to Hebden Bridge
0:26:09 > 0:26:13for more antiques. Hebden Bridge is a small market town.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15It was an ideal location for water-powered weaving mills.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18During the 19th and 20th centuries,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21it became a centre for the clothing industry.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25So much so that it became known as Trouser Town.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Let's hope James has got his on
0:26:27 > 0:26:30as they head for Hebden Bridge Antiques.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32After all, we don't want him being debagged.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37- What's our strategy here? - Market fresh.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Market fresh?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Oh, I like the sound of that.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Our experts and celebrities want those special items,
0:26:44 > 0:26:48literally just in the door.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Here at Hebden Bridge Antiques,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53could Jude be the girl to help? Hey, Jude!
0:26:53 > 0:26:55I'm looking round here,
0:26:55 > 0:27:00and you've got masses of the most glorious stuff.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03But what we need is something we can make money on, and I wonder
0:27:03 > 0:27:06if you have anything hidden away in that back room that's market fresh.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Something special.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Here's something we only put out yesterday,
0:27:10 > 0:27:11which I particularly like.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- It's that pink vase. - That pink Vasart?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- Yes, the Scotland glass. - Oh, it's beautiful.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20I don't really know a lot about this Vasart vase,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23but I know it was only new in on Sunday.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Sunday, eh? Well, that sounds market fresh to me. Yum-yum!
0:27:27 > 0:27:30The nutty problem, the price.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33It's a very reasonable price of £40.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36What would that be to us?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Don't say 50!
0:27:39 > 0:27:41You're challenging me.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46- Think low, think low. - Your lowest price so we don't have to keep bidding.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- OK, 30, I think is quite... - Have we got 30?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- We're quite close to the edge now, aren't we?- We are close to the edge.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- You want to pay 25, don't you?- Yeah.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Of course, Arlene and James have plenty of money.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03But it's a good tactic, although the acting was a bit wooden.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- Hello!- Look at this. Do you like it?
0:28:07 > 0:28:11It's an antique Black Forest desk tidy inkwell.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12And inkwell?
0:28:12 > 0:28:16It was made in the Black Forest in around 1890.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21It's got this purpose of being a practical object on a desk
0:28:21 > 0:28:23and is also very decorative.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27It has a certain Hungarian feel, because it's German.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- Is Hungary near Germany? - I think it probably might be.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36- It's missing the ink bottle.- It is. - That could be a bit of a blow.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41What's the best price, out of interest?
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- That would be £40.- But no less?
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- I think...we'd have to stick at that, yeah.- OK.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Food for thought, mental note. - Mental note.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53In fact, Charles is playing the long game here.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57And Anton, well, he doesn't seem to be playing any sort of game.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59I mean, who's making the decisions here?
0:28:59 > 0:29:02He's very funny, Charles. He makes me laugh. He's very enthusiastic.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06I don't think we have the same tastes, but when we do
0:29:06 > 0:29:10come together on something, it's obviously going to be a winner.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12It's just coming together on something,
0:29:12 > 0:29:13that's the problem at the moment.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Have you ever flown Concorde?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19No, I have not. Have you?
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- Look at that, a silver Concorde frame. Isn't that wonderful?- Lovely.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Solid silver and only £55.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- Do you like it?- Well, I like it.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29It just says silver frame.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Well, it IS a silver frame
0:29:31 > 0:29:35but one that you would have bought onboard Concorde as a souvenir.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36So it is a bit special.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38It's a modern collectable.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41A collectable is all about the theme.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45And this Concorde theme is like the Titanic.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49It's something we will remember with great nostalgia,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52because it was such a queen of the sky, wasn't it?
0:29:52 > 0:29:55It really was the ultimate in that flying machine.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59So it's the ultimate in-flight souvenir,
0:29:59 > 0:30:01the ultimate disco accessory,
0:30:01 > 0:30:07and the ultimate meeting of German and Hungarian culture...possibly.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09But does Anton really like any of them?
0:30:09 > 0:30:14- Sometimes you buy tactically with your mate in mind.- OK.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- I'm thinking of you. - You take full responsibility for that disaster?
0:30:18 > 0:30:23- I will take full responsibility. Would you take 90 for all three? - We will.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25You've bought...
0:30:27 > 0:30:31..a - no disrespect, lads - rotten glitterball.
0:30:31 > 0:30:36You've bought a broken table thing and a silver frame.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Yes.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43- Because I'm determined... to make us money.- All right.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47And with that, we're going to say, "Going..." - look at me -
0:30:47 > 0:30:50"Going, going...
0:30:50 > 0:30:53"Gone." We'll take them, sir. Thank you very, very much.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58Charles has done it and dragged poor Anton kicking and screaming towards a rather uncertain fate.
0:30:59 > 0:31:0120, 40, 60, 80, 90.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- Keep the faith in me, OK? - I've got the faith.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- I need coffee.- Let's have coffee. - And a lie down!
0:31:09 > 0:31:11And whilst Anton loses control,
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Arlene has fallen under the spell of three Scottish witches.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Sorry, vases.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Two made by Vasart and one by Strathearn,
0:31:19 > 0:31:22but all 20th-century Scottish studio glass.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25This is the other Vasart one.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28This has got a price tag of 45.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33I'm tempted to bulk up if we go and get the right price.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Could be get that at a similar price to that one - 25?
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Hmm, go on, then.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- What about the Strathearn?- 50?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45100 for the three.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48If you're asking me, James, I'm going, "Let's do it."
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Well, let's do it. Come on.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- I'll take two, you take one. - OK.- We're off.- Let go!
0:31:55 > 0:32:00And with that, our happy shoppers depart Hebden Bridge,
0:32:00 > 0:32:01heading for pastures new
0:32:01 > 0:32:06- just as the competition are arriving in town.- Right on down.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07No harm done.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11With Hebden Bridge Antiques still recovering from its last celebrity encounter,
0:32:11 > 0:32:14the wonderfully "market fresh" Peter clocks in for his shift.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Let's hope he's ready for action.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Look, Anton, look at this down here.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Languishing away. Do you like her?
0:32:23 > 0:32:28She is quite sweet. Yes. Less than she was when she started, I fear.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- I quite like her.- Really?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- Yes, I do. - She's got a hand missing.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38You know what, she's got a hand missing here
0:32:38 > 0:32:41and a hand missing on the back here.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43- So she has got both hands missing? - Absolutely.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- You've made it sound like there were more to come.- Exactly.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48(But I quite like her.)
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- Really? It's broken. - It's broken, I know.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57It's broken, it's tired, it's worn out.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- On the floor down here. - Kicked about.- Kicked about.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05Because she's after a Romanian sculptor who was called Dimitri Chiparus.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10I sold an original by him of almost this exact pose,
0:33:10 > 0:33:15which was bronze and ivory, which made about £17,000.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- Did she have both hands? - She had one hand missing.
0:33:19 > 0:33:24But this one isn't ivory, it's actually resin.
0:33:24 > 0:33:25(But it's period.)
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Pick it up. Let's take it.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32Well, maybe not "take", but some negotiation with market fresh Peter would be
0:33:32 > 0:33:34the best course of action right now.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- What's the best price we could have her for?- Let me have a look.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38It's broken, by the way.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43Got a lovely, you know, Anton feeling about her.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47- How does £50 sound? - Would you take £30 for her?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- Go on, then, let's make it 30. - Anton, what do you think, £30?- Yes.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Really? Yes, we'll take her.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Yes, we will take her. - Yes, we'll take her.
0:33:55 > 0:34:02Anton is finally getting the hang of this. Could he be about to take the antiques shopping bull by the horns?
0:34:02 > 0:34:05I quite like this. What do you think of this?
0:34:05 > 0:34:10You'll be pleased with this - it's got a stamp.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- It's got a stamp! It's got a lion. - Yes.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- It's got a lion. - Which means it's...?
0:34:15 > 0:34:20- Real.- Silver, yes. - Genuine silver. K - 1920s?
0:34:20 > 0:34:23And the good thing is there's no monogram or crest,
0:34:23 > 0:34:27it hasn't been personalised, so it's really fresh to the market.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Well, how about getting fresh with some haggling?
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- We'd like to offer you £100. - Cash.- In cash. In cash.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- We don't have to worry about receipts.- Cash in hand, cash in hand.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39In your hands. Cold cash.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- Why don't we say... - Why don't we say yes?- ..130?
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Honestly, we're putting all our eggs into this silver basket.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- I like it. No, we are. - The margin will be very tight.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54But as a special one-off, just for you, let's call it 100.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59- Thank you very much. - That completes our famous five objects. I'm really confident.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00- Good.- Thank you, Peter. - Thank you.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03The dirty dancer has done it.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08Finally, Anton takes the responsibility for his own shot at Road Trip glory.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13Not before time, as the hour of auction showdown draws near.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Oblivious to recent purchases, Arlene and James are taking
0:35:18 > 0:35:22themselves off for a nostalgic seaside treat.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Road Trip is taking Arlene back to her adolescence.
0:35:29 > 0:35:3256 miles east from Hebden Bridge,
0:35:32 > 0:35:35way out on the Lancashire coast, sits a very special place.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42Look, there's the North Pier! Blackpool North was posh.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45My auntie lived in Blackpool South which wasn't posh.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48But I thought of this as very grand.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Women that would sit on deck chairs and have their jewellery on and their best frocks.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57And as a teenager, my sister and I, we used to come here,
0:35:57 > 0:35:59and I would wear my stilettos
0:35:59 > 0:36:03and dress up to go walking down the North Pier.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07What a stunner!
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Blackpool began putting itself on the map in the late 1870s,
0:36:10 > 0:36:15becoming the first town in the world to get electric street lighting.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19In 1889, Blackpool's mayor, John Bickerstaffe,
0:36:19 > 0:36:24attended the Great Exhibition in Paris and fell in love with a big iron tower.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29British seaside history would never be the same again.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33- Does this bring back memories? - Yeah, memories of the circus.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- Really?- Yes. - Did you start in this circus?- No!
0:36:36 > 0:36:39JAMES LAUGHS
0:36:39 > 0:36:43I used to come to Blackpool when I was small, cos we lived in Manchester.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47- And we came to visit the circus. - Oh, fabulous.
0:36:47 > 0:36:53Amazingly, the entire Tower and ballroom took just three years to complete,
0:36:53 > 0:36:59using 2,500 tonnes of steel and 5 million Accrington bricks.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03On opening day, 14th of May, 1894,
0:37:03 > 0:37:05thousands of people took the inaugural tour.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Hello.- Hello.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Current general manager Kate Shane is here to give Arlene and James their turn.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Nice to meet you.- Nice to meet you.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- Welcome to Blackpool Tower. - Thank you.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21So, our beautiful ballroom.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26- It is absolutely exquisite. - It is stunning, isn't it?
0:37:26 > 0:37:30It's rather like walking into a German or Austrian church.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- It's sort of baroque, isn't it? - Yes, it is.- It's amazing.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- It must be Grade I listed?- The whole building is Grade I listed, yes.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41So, yes, we're very proud, very proud of Blackpool Tower,
0:37:41 > 0:37:44but this is the icing on the cake for us, the beautiful ballroom.
0:37:44 > 0:37:50This spring in this floor is incredible.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53To dancers, this is the piece de resistance in terms of dancing,
0:37:53 > 0:37:55the springing in the floor, yeah, they love it.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- A quick step on this floor means that you really can fly.- Really?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Arlene, is this the mecca of dancing, Blackpool?
0:38:02 > 0:38:08Blackpool Tower ballroom is where every ballroom and Latin dancer wants to dance.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13- It's the most desirable ballroom possibly on earth.- Really?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Most definitely. I would say that.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19Nowhere else in the world do you ever see the words
0:38:19 > 0:38:22"Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear."
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Yes, a Shakespearean quote from Venus And Adonis,
0:38:25 > 0:38:28and yes, it is the only place that you can dance under that.
0:38:28 > 0:38:34People use the phrase, "if walls could talk," but if a floor could talk...
0:38:34 > 0:38:41- Oh, yeah.- Can you imagine how many people met the love of their life here and married?
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Blackpool, the resort, was formed as somewhere for the working classes
0:38:45 > 0:38:47to go and enjoy themselves.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51And there is a quote that when they created this beautiful opulent ballroom,
0:38:51 > 0:38:54that a factory girl could be a duchess for a day.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57And that just makes you feel warm inside that something like that happened.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03You're quite right. The ballroom was created by designer Frank Matcham,
0:39:03 > 0:39:07one of the most successful of his time.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12Blackpool was the first place to offer such opulence to ordinary working people.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17Our dancing legend, Arlene Phillips, spent formative summers here
0:39:17 > 0:39:20and finds another bright emblem of her past.
0:39:20 > 0:39:25- So our beautiful Wurlitzer organ. - Aww. It's fantastic!
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Can I be Reginald Dixon?
0:39:28 > 0:39:34The beloved, world-famous Reginald Dixon, the man who popularised
0:39:34 > 0:39:38I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside, had this amazing organ
0:39:38 > 0:39:44built for himself, and the Tower ballroom, way back in 1935.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47He drew enormous daily crowds here for 40 years
0:39:47 > 0:39:51and was knighted for his services to music in 1968.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Very, very, very complicated to play,
0:39:55 > 0:39:59but the most exciting thing was standing waiting.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03And I'm going to show you what happens.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05ORGAN PLAYS
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- It's great, isn't it?- It is.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23- I think it deserves a round of applause, do you not think?- Yeah.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Absolutely. Yeah!
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Blackpool Tower is a triumph of ambition and design,
0:40:31 > 0:40:36conceived with good heart, and built with a love of ordinary people.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42Now, if you didn't think THAT was enough to get you on your feet,
0:40:42 > 0:40:44how about this?
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Beneath the Tower, Frank Matcham created another stunning arena
0:40:48 > 0:40:51also dear to Arlene's heart.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53It feels so tiny, but it felt so enormous,
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- and there were elephants in here! - Yeah.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59And one feature that is worth pointing out... you can see the archways?
0:40:59 > 0:41:03Those are the archways of the Tower and the four corners of the legs.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06So the embellished plasterwork is actually on the steel structure.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08So when you're in the middle of the ring,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11you're actually stood right underneath the centre of the Tower.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16It's a complete circus arena,
0:41:16 > 0:41:19with traditional circus big-top features,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22and as a part of the routines...there's this.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- Oh, look! Dancing waters. - Yeah, dancing waters.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32All the waters are choreographed to the music.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- It is stunning, isn't it?- Stunning.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- Have you done any water acts like this?- No, I haven't.
0:41:38 > 0:41:39This must be magical.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43It's magical for me, and I'm a stately age, but as a child...
0:41:43 > 0:41:45It's magical.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51What inspired Arlene's childhood dreams,
0:41:51 > 0:41:53and many young people before her,
0:41:53 > 0:41:58will inspire future generations for many, many years to come.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03Leaving nostalgia behind, it's time to head for the show and tell,
0:42:03 > 0:42:08and find out what they really think of each other's items. And look - more water!
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- Oh, hello!- Oh...!
0:42:11 > 0:42:14This is more you, Anton.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- A man of style, a man of dapper attire.- Oh!
0:42:18 > 0:42:20- A little dress stud set. - Darling set!
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- 14-carat gold.- Are they 14 carat?
0:42:23 > 0:42:25They're for an elegant gentleman,
0:42:25 > 0:42:30but if you think you're only getting that, you're not.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33That's one big lot, Anton, and I'm trembling a bit, because it's a really good lot.
0:42:33 > 0:42:38- How much is it worth? - I reckon...about £65.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42- I'm going to say more.- Really? - I don't know about those studs.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46If they are 14-carat gold, that lot is worth £150-plus.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49We paid 20.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50What, for each piece?
0:42:50 > 0:42:52No - Arlene and James
0:42:52 > 0:42:57actually got the whole BUNDLE for just £20. Scary, isn't it?
0:42:57 > 0:43:01- These are our piece de resistance. - They are?- Yeah, they are.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Are they Scottish?
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- Do you know that they are? - I thought they might be Scottish.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09- Look at the colour, Anton. They are alive, aren't they?- They are.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13- I can't stand 'em.- All right, Anton!
0:43:13 > 0:43:16The Road Trip is a competition, but it's usually a friendly one.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19- No, they're revolting. - Why?- Cos we didn't pick 'em.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Well, perhaps we should move on.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Three, two, one...
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Oh...!
0:43:26 > 0:43:27Disco ball!
0:43:27 > 0:43:30Look at this, Arlene.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33That... I love this, this is my favourite lot.
0:43:33 > 0:43:38- Look at that bear.- Oh, I'm not attracted to this at all.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40I didn't like it either.
0:43:40 > 0:43:44Don't tell me you paid more than £20 for that?
0:43:44 > 0:43:45- It's not attractive.- Anton, sell it.
0:43:45 > 0:43:49"How does your bear smell?" "Terrible! It's got no nose."
0:43:49 > 0:43:53- I think it's novel and quirky, and it cost...?- £30.- Good.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56I think you'll find some man that will come along
0:43:56 > 0:43:59and think, "That would be attractive on my desk." I hope you do.
0:43:59 > 0:44:04Me too - poor Bavarian/Hungarian snoutless fellow.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07We began with a fine sniff of a scent bottle. And it's here.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09- JAMES:- I like that.
0:44:09 > 0:44:10Art deco, blue enamel...
0:44:10 > 0:44:14Blue and silver. Solid silver.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17- It has a wonderful whiff... - £128.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20- What did you pay for it? - What do you think?
0:44:20 > 0:44:24I probably think that you got it down to somewhere like 70?
0:44:25 > 0:44:2760?
0:44:27 > 0:44:28£27.
0:44:28 > 0:44:33- £27. Is this label false? - Plus 43 - it cost us £70.
0:44:33 > 0:44:37- And didn't I just say £70? - You were spot-on.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39I hate it when you're right.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43It's beautiful, and I would not have paid more than £70,
0:44:43 > 0:44:46because if you HAD paid more, forget it.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49Great. But what do they really think?
0:44:49 > 0:44:51I think it's not bad.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54I think they paid pretty good prices.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56But it just depends on what people like.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59I hate the bear, and he could go for a fortune.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01- They've got one really good star lot, you know.- The picture?
0:45:01 > 0:45:05No, it's those dress studs. And the bits of silver they bought.
0:45:05 > 0:45:09- I think our items, they're looking good.- They're looking good!
0:45:09 > 0:45:14I had a real burst of confidence about our items,
0:45:14 > 0:45:17and I'm so glad we got the three vases.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19Because Charles likes the vases.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22So it's going to be a real helter-skelter, hurdy-gurdy,
0:45:22 > 0:45:25rollercoaster ride for you and me tomorrow, but keep the faith.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28I think we've bought well together.
0:45:28 > 0:45:29Let's keep the faith!
0:45:29 > 0:45:34- And bring on tomorrow, and let them fight!- Come on, let's go.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38Yeah. Let's go. Let's get to auction.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41It's been a monumental journey -
0:45:41 > 0:45:43a three-county race-around of heated shopping
0:45:43 > 0:45:46and inspirational encounters.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51Hebden Bridge and Blackpool become a memory,
0:45:51 > 0:45:58as our two teams head 56 miles to the fab city of Liverpool.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00Home to the Albert Docks.
0:46:00 > 0:46:04Birthplace of the Beatles - yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:46:04 > 0:46:08And shameless purveyor of all things Scouse, including the brow.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15Your driving needs no explanation, chief.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21- James?- He's terribly keen...
0:46:21 > 0:46:23I'm afraid James has gone inside. But good luck.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25- And to you.- He's very keen!
0:46:25 > 0:46:27Best of luck to you.
0:46:31 > 0:46:35James can't wait to see inside Cato Crane Auctioneers,
0:46:35 > 0:46:38open to keen bidders and careful browsers since 1985.
0:46:41 > 0:46:4328. 30. 32. 34...
0:46:43 > 0:46:46Today's gavel-basher, John Crane,
0:46:46 > 0:46:49has taken a long, hard look at our celebrities' investments.
0:46:49 > 0:46:54The gold stud set is nice. It's in a box, but it's only gold-plated.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57It looks gold, does the trick, no problem whatsoever.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59Don't think it's 14 carat, though.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01The glitterball...
0:47:01 > 0:47:04someone might be opening a dance hall somewhere, who knows? Lovely.
0:47:04 > 0:47:08What's it worth? I don't know, whatever it brings. £10, £20, £30...
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Would I have it in the kitchen? Yes, maybe. Bit of fun.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15Both teams started with £400 each.
0:47:15 > 0:47:20Arlene and James spent £280 on five auction lots.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22Money, James. Thank you, baby.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24It's a vase.
0:47:24 > 0:47:28But Anton and Charles went one better...
0:47:28 > 0:47:31spending £290 on six auction lots.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34Take possession, show it's yours.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36- Really?- Puff his chest out.
0:47:36 > 0:47:41- Do you want to touch? It's not bad, is it?- It's not bad. It's not perfect.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45Chests out and nice big smiles - the auction is about to begin.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49First up - Anton's first reluctant purchase,
0:47:49 > 0:47:52the silver and enamel scent bottle.
0:47:52 > 0:47:54£30 if you like, somebody.
0:47:54 > 0:47:5530? £30 is bid.
0:47:55 > 0:47:5835 now. 35, 35.
0:47:58 > 0:48:0140. 45 at the back, 45. 50.
0:48:01 > 0:48:02£45...
0:48:02 > 0:48:04One more. Come on...
0:48:04 > 0:48:09It's enamel. Did he mention that?
0:48:09 > 0:48:1070. 75 now.
0:48:10 > 0:48:1375. 80. One more?
0:48:13 > 0:48:15£80? I'm selling...
0:48:15 > 0:48:16£80, I'm selling at 80 now.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18- It's going...- It has a smell.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20Quiet, please. £80...
0:48:20 > 0:48:22Not a terrible start, by any means,
0:48:22 > 0:48:26but auction costs will eat into that hard-won tenner profit.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29- You only made £10. - Oh, yeah, but we're up.- It all helps.
0:48:29 > 0:48:33Have you seen the room? We're happy with a tenner, let me tell you.
0:48:33 > 0:48:39And facing the music next, Arlene's enamel offering. This round box.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41£20 is bid. £20 is bid.
0:48:41 > 0:48:42Oh...!
0:48:42 > 0:48:44All done at £20, best we can do is 20.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46No!
0:48:46 > 0:48:4825 there. 25, 30.
0:48:48 > 0:48:4935.
0:48:49 > 0:48:5140. 45 with you?
0:48:51 > 0:48:5340 over there, then.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56It's going to be sold. It's got to go...
0:48:56 > 0:48:58£40.
0:48:58 > 0:49:03Ouch! I'm afraid that's a loss in real terms.
0:49:03 > 0:49:06James! This is not fun any more.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Well, it's fun for us.
0:49:08 > 0:49:12So let's see if Anton and Charles's Concorde silver frame
0:49:12 > 0:49:13can take to the skies.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15£30 is bid. And 35 with you.
0:49:16 > 0:49:1940. 45.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21Come on, it's worth every single penny. 50...
0:49:21 > 0:49:2555. 60. It's very worth it.
0:49:25 > 0:49:2765?
0:49:27 > 0:49:30- Sir, you'll be sorry afterwards... - One more.
0:49:30 > 0:49:3265. 70, one more from you.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34It's worth more, they fly!
0:49:34 > 0:49:3570.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37£70 is bid.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40Any more anywhere? Come on.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42One more... Come on.
0:49:42 > 0:49:4475 anywhere...
0:49:44 > 0:49:4770 is your bid, sir. All done and finished?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49Sold. £70.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51A supersonic result. Great.
0:49:51 > 0:49:56Perhaps Anton should have shown Charles's choice more respect.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59- Put it there, Arlene. - You'll make a killing on that.
0:49:59 > 0:50:03Well done, Charles! Although no-one really likes a show-off.
0:50:03 > 0:50:04£70!
0:50:06 > 0:50:11Now...Arlene and James's bargain, the group of silver and gold.
0:50:11 > 0:50:12What will happen?
0:50:12 > 0:50:16- 14-carat...France... - I beg your pardon?
0:50:16 > 0:50:17Allegedly!
0:50:17 > 0:50:1910. 15 at the back.
0:50:19 > 0:50:2120, 25, 30.
0:50:21 > 0:50:2235.
0:50:22 > 0:50:2440, 45.
0:50:24 > 0:50:25£50 is bid. 55?
0:50:25 > 0:50:27Where's John at the back? 52?
0:50:27 > 0:50:2952. 54. 56.
0:50:29 > 0:50:3258. 60, John?
0:50:32 > 0:50:3558, the gentleman in blue here. At £58...
0:50:35 > 0:50:3760, a new bidder down by the rostrum.
0:50:37 > 0:50:4062, sir. 64.
0:50:40 > 0:50:4166, 68...
0:50:41 > 0:50:4370. 72.
0:50:43 > 0:50:48£70 is bid now. OK, all done at 70...
0:50:48 > 0:50:51Sold. At 70. Really?
0:50:51 > 0:50:53£70.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55Hats off to Arlene.
0:50:55 > 0:51:00An excellent profit - although your expert kind of steered you there.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03We can breathe, we can breathe, we can breathe.
0:51:03 > 0:51:09- You've made 50 quid there.- Yeah. And you've made an old bird very happy!
0:51:09 > 0:51:14Next up, Charles's broken-nosed Bavarian bear.
0:51:14 > 0:51:18Anton failed to love it. But will the saleroom?
0:51:18 > 0:51:2025? 25 right behind you.
0:51:20 > 0:51:2230. 35, sir.
0:51:22 > 0:51:2440. 45.
0:51:24 > 0:51:25One more? 50.
0:51:25 > 0:51:26Someone like you, £50...?
0:51:26 > 0:51:28£50 is bid. 52?
0:51:28 > 0:51:3052, sir. 54.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32It's a beauty. Hand-carved.
0:51:32 > 0:51:3456. 58.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36Come on, one more?
0:51:36 > 0:51:3758. Round it up to 60.
0:51:37 > 0:51:39- Go on!- Yes?
0:51:39 > 0:51:42One more. 60. 62.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44£60 is bid...
0:51:44 > 0:51:48All done at 60. Done and finished. A nice lot...
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Stanhope's from Stanhope Street. There we go.
0:51:50 > 0:51:55They've done it again! Anton will be sorry he ever doubted Charles.
0:51:55 > 0:51:58And Arlene...she'll just be sorry.
0:51:58 > 0:52:01- Made £30.- If it's any consolation, I'm shocked and stunned.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05Now a shot at auction glory for Arlene and James.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08Their hunting watercolour prepares to go ballistic.
0:52:08 > 0:52:1030 is bid. 30.
0:52:10 > 0:52:1340... 50 the gent. 60.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15£60 is bid.
0:52:15 > 0:52:1865, OK.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21I'm going to sell at £65...
0:52:21 > 0:52:22It's going.
0:52:22 > 0:52:24£65? Your bid.
0:52:24 > 0:52:25Sold!
0:52:25 > 0:52:30£20 in the bag, and this auction tango is looking pretty close.
0:52:30 > 0:52:35That is amazing, that we are neck and neck. That is amazing.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37That is incredible.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40I saw your lots, that IS amazing, I couldn't be any more surprised.
0:52:40 > 0:52:43You're a fine one to talk about quality, Anton.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45Let's see if we can D-I-S-C-O
0:52:45 > 0:52:50at the A-U-C-T... Oh, well, you get the idea.
0:52:50 > 0:52:5110. Can we get 12?
0:52:51 > 0:52:53Thank you. 12.
0:52:53 > 0:52:5614. 16. 18. We're nearly there.
0:52:56 > 0:52:5720. 22.
0:52:57 > 0:53:00Come on, DJ. One more.
0:53:00 > 0:53:0122, thank you.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04You'll be sorry afterwards.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06When you're sitting at home tonight.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09It's your bid, sir. £22...
0:53:09 > 0:53:11Sold.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15Slim. But that's the shiniest £2 made here today.
0:53:15 > 0:53:19Next up, she's 1920s, she's a beauty, she's Arlene's favourite.
0:53:19 > 0:53:24But she's also mass produced. Let's hope she catches the bidders' eyes.
0:53:24 > 0:53:28£20 to start me off. Anybody? ..£20 is bid.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30I'll take 25 now, somebody.
0:53:30 > 0:53:3230. Come on. 30.
0:53:32 > 0:53:3335. 40.
0:53:33 > 0:53:3645. 50, it's against you.
0:53:36 > 0:53:3955, 60.
0:53:39 > 0:53:4160 is one bid.
0:53:41 > 0:53:44- £60. All done at £60...?- No, no...
0:53:44 > 0:53:46At the back...
0:53:46 > 0:53:5060. I've got to sell, ladies and gentlemen. It's going...
0:53:50 > 0:53:52£60...
0:53:52 > 0:53:57- 60.- Well, maybe you just can't sell 1920s figurines in Liverpool.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59Maybe it's not 1920s.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01The 1930s, however... that remains to be seen.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04Can Anton triumph where Arlene floundered?
0:54:04 > 0:54:08- Quite an oldish one...- Oldish!
0:54:08 > 0:54:10Onyx. Mention the onyx.
0:54:10 > 0:54:1220 is bid there. 20.
0:54:12 > 0:54:1425 over there now. 30, yes.
0:54:14 > 0:54:1635, the gent.
0:54:16 > 0:54:1940. Don't worry about the hand - you can put a glove on it.
0:54:19 > 0:54:22It's a good thing. It's a nice thing.
0:54:22 > 0:54:2435. 40 with you.
0:54:24 > 0:54:2840 is bid, 42... 42 anywhere?
0:54:28 > 0:54:31- I'm going to sell it at 40... - Go on, one more.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34£40, last time...
0:54:34 > 0:54:38Anton and Charles are carrying the torch for slim victories today.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41But are those small profits starting to add up?
0:54:41 > 0:54:46Well done. Blimey, you could sell snow to the Eskimos, you.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48Arlene fell in love with these delightful glass vases.
0:54:48 > 0:54:53Can Liverpool be smitten by their charms too?
0:54:53 > 0:54:5630? All done at £30? 35.
0:54:56 > 0:54:5940. £40.
0:54:59 > 0:55:0145 anywhere?
0:55:01 > 0:55:0445, 50. 55.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07All done at £55?
0:55:07 > 0:55:11I'm going to have to sell at £55...
0:55:11 > 0:55:14Is that the best we can do, at £55 now?
0:55:14 > 0:55:16It's going... That all right?

0:55:18 > 0:55:20It's your bid over there, £55...
0:55:20 > 0:55:22- Sure you don't want to spend more on it?- Disaster.
0:55:22 > 0:55:24- Can't get any more on it...?- Go on.

0:55:26 > 0:55:28Long way from Scotland.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30I'm useless!
0:55:30 > 0:55:32- Oh, no... - < That's a lovely item.
0:55:33 > 0:55:39- Now, they have got to make a loss of about 35...- 45.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42It's close, but no cigar, for Arlene.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44Thank goodness for Anton's sensitivity.
0:55:44 > 0:55:48I'm sure there's a casino - we'll try and make your money up somewhere.
0:55:48 > 0:55:52(CHUCKLES) Anton and Charles have one last lot to sell.

0:56:10 > 0:56:1385. 95...
0:56:13 > 0:56:16- CHARLES:- Come on. The magical three figures.
0:56:16 > 0:56:18£90. All done at 90?
0:56:18 > 0:56:2095 anywhere?
0:56:20 > 0:56:2295, the gentleman.

0:56:23 > 0:56:26£95 is bid. 100 anywhere?
0:56:26 > 0:56:28It's £95...
0:56:28 > 0:56:32£95, then, it's going to be sold at 95...
0:56:32 > 0:56:36Your bid, right through there.
0:56:36 > 0:56:38- £95.- A sad little loss to end on.
0:56:38 > 0:56:40But, happily, small enough to keep
0:56:40 > 0:56:43our gracious front-runners in the lead.
0:56:43 > 0:56:46- She's giving you the shoulder, she's turned her back on you.- I am shocked.
0:56:46 > 0:56:49- You've got the real chill, you have. - I'm shocked.
0:56:49 > 0:56:52Come on. I'm leaving!
0:56:52 > 0:56:55Oh, she's out of the door.
0:56:55 > 0:56:56She'll get over it.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59Our celebrities began with £400 each.
0:57:00 > 0:57:04Despite Arlene's and James's enthusiasm
0:57:04 > 0:57:07and gung-ho approach, they made a wounding loss,
0:57:07 > 0:57:10after auction costs, of £42.20.
0:57:11 > 0:57:17So that means they end their Road Trip with £357.80.
0:57:17 > 0:57:21On the other hand, Anton's blase, carefree
0:57:21 > 0:57:24and, frankly, at all times doubting attitude

0:57:44 > 0:57:47Arlene, are you going to forgive me?
0:57:47 > 0:57:51- I shall try, James, I shall try very hard... - ANTON LAUGHS
0:57:51 > 0:57:53Stop crowing!
0:57:53 > 0:57:59- You didn't make THAT much money. - Oh, listen, the key is we made SOME.
0:57:59 > 0:58:01This is it. Sweet sorrow, hey? But we took it.
0:58:01 > 0:58:05- Sweet sorrow indeed. - Well done, Arlene.
0:58:05 > 0:58:09- That's enough, James.- I forgive you!

0:58:17 > 0:58:20- My mate...a fellow antique buff. - Yeah.
0:58:20 > 0:58:24Rather...being pedantic, because Anton's a great guy,
0:58:24 > 0:58:28but in terms of steering him, James, into the antique world...
0:58:28 > 0:58:30it's been hard work.
0:58:30 > 0:58:34ANTON: I was hoping that Charles would have given me a bit more of a steer,
0:58:34 > 0:58:37- but he was very good at getting a bargain.- Is he?
