0:00:03 > 0:00:05- Some of the nation's favourite celebrities. - Can we just have 1.50 for the two,
0:00:05 > 0:00:08- then you've got yourself a deal? - One antiques expert each.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11See what I've got in store for you.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Da, da, da, da, da!
0:00:13 > 0:00:14And one big challenge,
0:00:14 > 0:00:15who can seek out and buy
0:00:15 > 0:00:18the best antiques at the best prices...
0:00:19 > 0:00:20To see you... Nice.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22LAUGHTER
0:00:22 > 0:00:25..and auction for a big profit further down the road?
0:00:25 > 0:00:27GAVEL BANGS
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Who will spot the good investment?
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Who will listen to advice?
0:00:31 > 0:00:33What you just come out with, 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 > 0:00:45This is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Yeah!
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Welcome to Edinburgh.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Setting for a road trip to remember,
0:00:55 > 0:00:59and not just for the witty banter,
0:00:59 > 0:01:01sparkling repartee and eye-catching antiques.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07It might be wet.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08It might be windy,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12but it's still going to be a fight to the finish,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14to see which of our celebrity teams
0:01:14 > 0:01:16can make the most of their £400 spending money.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Can you recognise who it is?
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Haven't a clue?
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Let's get in the car.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26It's Jon Culshaw and Debra Stephenson.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Impressionist extraordinaire... - LAUGHTER
0:01:29 > 0:01:33..Jon possesses an uncanny ability to become other people
0:01:33 > 0:01:37and has poked gentle fun at virtually every personality on the planet.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42You're useless, the lot of you, and for that reason, you're all fired.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44But when he relaxes,
0:01:44 > 0:01:45he still enjoys nothing more than
0:01:45 > 0:01:48gazing at the stars.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I've got my new telescope and ridiculously big binoculars.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52They're a beefy pair of binoculars.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56And sitting pretty next to Jon is actress and comedienne
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Debra Stephenson.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Definitely game for a challenge.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04If I could win this heat, that would mean a lot to me,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06that would really make my day.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10And well known for her roles on TV's Bad Girls and Coronation Street,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14she is no slouch in the mimicry department either.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Co-starring with Jon on the Impression Show.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Hey, Dannii, come in here and check out my bum.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I reckon it's got even smaller.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26No way, Kyles. That thing's already as tight as a kookaburra's mimsy.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28SHE GASPS
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I don't know anything about antiques.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32My mother-in-law does,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34she's a whiz, and she lives in Scotland.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35I don't think I'll be allowed
0:02:35 > 0:02:37to go in and ask for her help,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I don't suppose I'll need to really.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Because we've got our own experts,
0:02:41 > 0:02:42- haven't we?- We do have experts.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Er... That's debatable.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Smile, Thomas. Smile for the camera.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48What are you doing?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I'm trying to get the windscreen wiper working.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52They don't work.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54You've done it, you've done it!
0:02:54 > 0:02:55They just needed my touch.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Behaving like excitable schoolboys at the prospect of meeting
0:02:59 > 0:03:01their celebrities...
0:03:01 > 0:03:02LAUGHTER
0:03:02 > 0:03:05I know that laugh, it's Mark Stacey,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07who, despite a hefty 25 years in the antiques trade,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10specialising in porcelain, silver and retro, has never
0:03:10 > 0:03:15lost his boundless, boyish enthusiasm when it comes to collecting.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17LAUGHTER
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Good teeth too.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23And at the wheel of the dinky 1960s Morris Minor,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26and often mistaken for a jolly literary character...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28You're like Billy Bunter.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31..it's Thomas Plant, who started out as a lowly porter
0:03:31 > 0:03:36and rose through the ranks to become chief in-house valuer,
0:03:36 > 0:03:40with an impressive knowledge of silver, jewellery
0:03:40 > 0:03:42and collectable toys. Gosh!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- I'm quite excited.- I'm very excited.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Do you think they're going to do impressions of us?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I doubt they'll do one of you, Thomas.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I think they can do me because of my distinctive voice.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54You have got a unique voice.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56You're sort of just...
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- What am I, just...boring?- Yeah.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Oh, that's just so unkind.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Our teams will kick off in Scotland's capital city, then head
0:04:11 > 0:04:12southwards, finally ending up at
0:04:12 > 0:04:13an auction showdown
0:04:13 > 0:04:15in Loughton, Essex.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22As Jonathan struggles to make his escape from the tartan,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24red, late-1960s Triumph Spitfire...
0:04:24 > 0:04:26It's like the car's giving birth to you.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30..everyone rallies round to help deliver him from its clutches.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32It's a boy!
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Nice to meet you.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Hello, I'm Thomas.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Let me just get me bearings!
0:04:37 > 0:04:39It didn't want to let you go.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Clearly, that's the car for you.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Aye, aye, I think Debra has a car strategy here.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50When I was a teenager, and 17 and learning to drive,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54this would have been my absolute ideal car.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I wanted a Morris Minor convertible.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Debra is after the Morris Minor
0:04:59 > 0:05:02and Mark seems to have a problem with the Triumph.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I find getting in and out of those low cars difficult.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Is it your age?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09So, the teams are decided.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12I'll be DCI Gene Hunt, and you can be Sam Tyler.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Off they head in convoy to their first shop.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Debra is with Mark and Jon is with Thomas in the Spitfire.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20And they sound worried already.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I am concerned about this other duo behind us.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26What should we be watching out for?
0:05:26 > 0:05:31I don't know, I think there's going to be stiff competition.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Well, we're about to find out, aren't we?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- We've landed. Well done. - Good old Bessie.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43We're getting there first.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46First up is Courtyard Antiques, run by Lewis Rosa.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I think we'll get in, shall we? Yeah.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Can't have them grabbing the bargains.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Can you hear me?
0:05:56 > 0:05:57I can hear you.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I'm speaking from many centuries ago.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Should we leave the boys downstairs?- Yes.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Let's go up and see what's up here.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09We can have a good rummage before they get a chance.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Sounds like a plan.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13And with both teams itching to spend their £400, there's no time to lose.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Nothing's leaping out.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17It's not flashy, is it?
0:06:17 > 0:06:18No.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I wonder, are the boys having better luck downstairs?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24A couple of things I've spotted.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29One of them could be this little banker's lamp.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Somebody might think, that might look nice in my house
0:06:32 > 0:06:35and they might sort of buy it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Art Deco began in Paris in the 1920s
0:06:39 > 0:06:43and the lamp is a fine example of the style.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44You can't go wrong with a lamp.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49You can't go wrong with it, and I like the original glass shade.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51That's really good.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54A fine lamp indeed, but also a blinding price.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- It's 180 quid.- It's all right, we can work at that.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- We'll work at that, OK.- We will.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Has the spotlight shone on anything for Debra?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Actually, this is quite nice. - It's a set for 12.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- That's a really good tea set. - They look quite old, don't they?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Yeah, what do you think though? - But I don't think they are.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15The pattern is called Gainsborough. Yeah.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Then it's...Queen Anne China.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Do you think 1950s?- Do you know, you're absolutely right.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25So, although styled to look older, it's actually mid-20th-century,
0:07:25 > 0:07:26making it more vintage than antique.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Do you like it?- I do.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32A lot of the ladies I know, a lot of my friends,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34are really into having coffee mornings.
0:07:34 > 0:07:40I think it's something that even if it's not old and valuable,
0:07:40 > 0:07:46it's definitely something that people would like and enjoy using.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48It's not a useless item.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I don't think it's Mark's cup of tea.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Moving on.- Moving on, shall we?- Yeah.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- Do you think they've bought lots of stuff downstairs?- I doubt it!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- I doubt it.- I know Thomas too well.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Thomas, you might know, but you've not reckoned with the impetuous nature of Jon Culshaw.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09The other thing I spotted was this.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Oh, yeah, the Voigtlander.
0:08:12 > 0:08:18The Voigtlander camera, with the viewfinder in there. On its tripod.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21That's quite decorative.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23That would have a certain charm to it.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Voigtlander is one of the oldest names in photographic equipment,
0:08:28 > 0:08:32originally established in Vienna in the 18th century.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36This model, the Brillant, dates from the 1930s.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Another thing I've spotted.- Oh, yeah, here we go.- On a roll here.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Jon is definitely getting the hang of this antiques buying lark,
0:08:43 > 0:08:48whilst upstairs, Mark is forced to look to the heavens for inspiration.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52You know, sometimes, it's almost worth looking above your head
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- in places like this as well. - Oh, yeah.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Oh, look at that chair. - Oh, it's got a little face.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- It's got loads of face people on it, hasn't it?- Oh, yeah.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05I think that's rather funky, don't you?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- I don't like it.- It's not about that.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10It's about what might appeal to somebody else, you see, as well.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16I mean, it's kind of ugly because the faces of these gargoyley things
0:09:16 > 0:09:20are so ugly, and then they've got breasts and protruding stomachs
0:09:20 > 0:09:22and taily things.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Urgh! It's freaking me out, actually.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I think we need to take you into a darkened room, dear.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- You're getting all excited. - It's horrible!
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I think it's got something about it.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Seriously...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Doo, doo, doo doo! Doo, doo, doo doo!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- No, I think it has, you know. - OK, I'll trust you on that.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Oh, no, I hate those words!
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Be it on your head.- Oh, no!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Then it all goes wrong, it all goes wrong when you say that.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Oh, Mark, surely not?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- The other thing I've spotted... - You're on a bit of a roll.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Yeah, you've just got to let things filter to you, haven't you?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I like copper.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Polished up, it always looks very impressive.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10This copper mirror here, I could just imagine somebody buying that.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I could just imagine people going for it.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Jon, you definitely have an eye for this, but an expensive one.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20That mirror is a hefty £160.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23We've spotted a couple of things. Jon has...
0:10:23 > 0:10:28The Voigtlander camera on the tripod and then the lamp.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31What were you thinking? I'm scared to ask what you were thinking.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35This is where the Dominic Littlewood personality comes in.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39OK, beautiful lamp, £180. We'd like to do a little bit better than that.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41What if we were to say... What if we were to take the one off?
0:10:41 > 0:10:47What if we were to say 80, and you've got a deal right there and now?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51I think it would be easier if I just said the very best price.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Which would be 120.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57And the Voigtlander?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00£40.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Watch out, Lewis, here comes Dominic Littlewood again.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06That would make a total of 160.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08OK, you're a nice man, running a wonderful shop here.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12What if we were to say 150 for the two, then you've got yourself a deal?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- Hang on a minute. Calm down.- Right.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I think you're doing very well.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21This is why I need to be advised.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I am a young Jedi in this craft.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28You have forgotten the figure I set. It is gone from your mind.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32I don't blame you, Lewis, I've forgotten it too!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I'd like to give you 120 for both.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Oh, boys!
0:11:37 > 0:11:39No.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43You'll need more than a Jedi mind trick to win Lewis over,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46who appears to have a trick of his own involving a copper mirror.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50If we could come to a price on this mirror that you're happy with,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54and then I could reflect on what you said about those things.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Three items, £200, the lot.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Wow! £200, that's half your budget!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03No.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Could we not talk about 80 for this? That's another tenner.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Oh, Lordy!
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I'm going to walk over there for a moment and then come back.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Are you, do you want to do that on your own?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- I've got a curve ball coming in. - Off you go.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Jon has spotted a different but more ornate Art-Deco lamp
0:12:20 > 0:12:22and it's given him an idea.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Stand by.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Is just a bit more silvery and onyxy.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29It might make it more distinctive, a bit more collectable.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34This may help us because this is obviously a more decorative base,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37which would make it more expensive.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43But if we were to go for the same price as we were doing the package with the not-so-elaborate lamp,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45then that might make you happier?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- And you were saying 230?- Yes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51There's no way you'll do 220 for me?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54There's no shifting Lewis, who drives a hard bargain.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57If they want a vintage camera, copper mirror
0:12:57 > 0:13:00and more decorative Art-Deco lamp, it's £230.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Shall we do it? Do you want to go for it?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I think we should, yeah.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- DAVID ATTENBOROUGH VOICE: - Here we see two rutting dealers
0:13:14 > 0:13:15at their most illustrious.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22A bit impulsive, I think.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26It might have been a lot worse, had it not been for your guidance and expertise.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31It could have been a lot worse! You could have been paired up with "Maverick" Mark.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Poor Debra, she really doesn't like that chair,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39but our rogue expert won't listen.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41We've got a real split opinion here.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Debra hates it and I think it's quite fun,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47if the price is right, of course.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I could do that for 130 for you.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53For that kind of money, you need a closer inspection.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57It would appear to be a Renaissance-style hall chair.
0:14:00 > 0:14:06It's sort of growing on me. I think I'm being gently persuaded.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- I'd be able to persuade you a lot if we got it at a better price, wouldn't I?- I think so.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14As you say, it is on my head.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I can't decide whether it's really ugly or really attractive.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I think they would put £60 to £80 on it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24What do you think? It's in your court now.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- I liked £80.- £80 is better.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Would you consider 70?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Was there something else you wanted to buy?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Funny you should ask, Lewis.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Debra has her heart set on the tea service, but will Mark be persuaded?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Debra, I don't know why, likes the tea set,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45but there's no price on that,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47so we don't know how much that is.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50If you were to take the chair and the tea set together,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54we could call it...70 and 50
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- is 120.- 120.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Would you let us have that for 40?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02OK, that would be fine.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06I was going to try and get the both of them for 100. It's only...
0:15:06 > 0:15:08You really can't do them for 100 for the two?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Why don't we split the difference and call it 105?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Shall we do that?- I think we should. - Are you happy with that?- Yeah.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Why don't we shake his hand? - Thank you very much.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Thank you very much, Lewis, that's really nice of you.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Well done, Debra, you've got the tea service,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24but you're stuck with that chair at £70.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Sorry!
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Oh, my gosh, the rain has come again, Debra.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- Let's get in the warm.- At least we've got two items in the bag.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- I'm quite happy, are you? - I'm very happy, well done.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43With three purchases under their belts,
0:15:43 > 0:15:47it's time for our boys to ponder on their place in the universe
0:15:47 > 0:15:51at Edinburgh's prestigious Royal Observatory. Don't you know?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Luckily, Jon and Thomas haven't come to peer through telescopes,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57as it's clearly not the day for it.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Instead, they're in for a celestial treat, right up Jon's street.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06One of the finest collections of ancient astrological
0:16:06 > 0:16:09and astronomy manuscripts in the world.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13On a scale of one to ten, Jon, this is excitement level...?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Oh, it's...
0:16:15 > 0:16:1611, 12, more.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Hi, there...
0:16:18 > 0:16:22The boys are met by senior astronomer John Davies.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Welcome to the Royal Observatory. - Thanks for having us.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29The Royal Observatory was founded back in 1888, at the behest
0:16:29 > 0:16:31of the 26th Earl Of Crawford,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34who was a keen amateur astronomer.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38He offered his library of rare ancient scientific books
0:16:38 > 0:16:40and instruments to the City Of Edinburgh
0:16:40 > 0:16:44on the proviso that they built an observatory to house them.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47This is Karen, our librarian.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Karen, nice to see you.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Karen Moran is on hand to point out the highlights of the collection.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55It must be so special to have these!
0:16:55 > 0:16:58It's a privilege to look after this collection.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00It's one of five like it in the world,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03but ours has been deemed the best in the world.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- This is the best in the world? - Of this type of collection.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11And what a collection it is, including first editions
0:17:11 > 0:17:16by iconic names such as Copernicus, Galileo and Sir Isaac Newton,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19and together, they tell the incredible story
0:17:19 > 0:17:23of human understanding of our place in the universe over two centuries.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29One of the earliest manuscripts is by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy
0:17:29 > 0:17:33who, in AD140, set down Plato's theory
0:17:33 > 0:17:35that the Earth was placed
0:17:35 > 0:17:39at the centre of the universe, with everything else revolving around it.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44These decorative images I see front of me don't look like they have
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- much to do with astronomy. - You're correct and incorrect,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- because they are to do with astrology rather than astronomy.- Sorry.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54But in mediaeval times, they were both seen as one and the same thing.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58In those days, astronomy was used by doctors to cure illnesses
0:17:58 > 0:18:01and they would carry medical bibles with them
0:18:01 > 0:18:03to help with diagnosis and treatment.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06And you can have a quick glance at this one. You can see, it's the zodiac man.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12Each house of the zodiac relates to a different part of the human body.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- He's got an interesting expression on his face, hasn't he?- Exactly.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16A bit like Gene Wilder.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18What are these? These look fascinating.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23Yes, they are portable versions, if you like, of the bigger text.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Physicians would carry these around on their belts.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31They look wonderfully fragile and delicate, don't they?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33They are.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37It took another one-and-a-half centuries for this accepted wisdom to change,
0:18:37 > 0:18:42following the groundbreaking observations of Copernicus and Galileo,
0:18:42 > 0:18:46finally acknowledging the Sun's rightful place at the centre of the solar system.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Tell us about this one in the corner here.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Is this showing the moment when the Earth was no longer
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- the centre of the solar system, but that passed over to the Sun? - The sun, exactly.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00This is our first-edition Copernicus from 1543.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Yes, you are exactly right, Jon, he's put the Sun in the centre
0:19:03 > 0:19:09and the planets moving in these beautiful circular orbits around the Sun.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12In the 17th century, Englishman Sir Isaac Newton
0:19:12 > 0:19:16was to solidify these ideas through mathematical theory.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Laws that continued to form the basis of all scientific thought
0:19:20 > 0:19:22until the early 20th century.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Look at this, the mask of Isaac Newton himself.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Yes, it's a death mask of Isaac Newton.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Ours was once owned by Professor Wallace,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35who was a professor of mathematics and astronomy
0:19:35 > 0:19:38at Edinburgh University. It's numbered 44 of about 500
0:19:38 > 0:19:40of these masks that were produced.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- He looks rather at peace, doesn't he?- He does.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45His principles are still being observed, even now.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Isn't that right, Mr Newton?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Newton's great friend, astronomer Edmond Halley,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55further reinforced these theories of the universe when, in 1707,
0:19:55 > 0:20:00he successfully predicted the return of the famous comet named after him.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02It's a wonderful, wonderful collection
0:20:02 > 0:20:05and it's a privilege to see it and I'm only sorry we can't stay for longer
0:20:05 > 0:20:09and take it in quite a lot more.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I agree. Wonderful!
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- DAVID DICKINSON VOICE:- So let's see what it goes for at the auction.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- JON:- Sorry, I blaspheme.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17You did blaspheme.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Yes, and what an auction that would be. Come along, Thomas,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24drag him back to Earth, there's shopping to be done.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27No time for the telescope. Sorry.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Jon, we'd better buy some antiques. - We had, I suppose so, we mustn't be distracted.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- You are very distracted. - I'm clearly distracted.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Back on planet Earth, Debra and Mark are leaving Edinburgh
0:20:38 > 0:20:42and heading south to West Linton.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Nestling in the Borders,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47this ancient village dates back to Iron Age times.
0:20:47 > 0:20:53Its name comes from the Celtic for lake or pool, rather apt today.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58Debra, I'm dying to know, how did you get into all this impressionism?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Oh, well, erm...
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Ever since I can remember, my dad used to do impressions to make me laugh.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Oh, did he?- When I was really little, and I used to copy him.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11He used to basically teach me to do them.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15The first one I ever remember doing was Margaret Thatcher saying,
0:21:15 > 0:21:19"When I become Prime Minister..."
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Ha-ha!
0:21:20 > 0:21:25West Linton is home to Mr MacDonald's Saleroom Emporium,
0:21:25 > 0:21:29whose proprietor is Ryan, the Mr of the aforementioned edifice.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Oh, gosh.- Look at that!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Oh, my God!
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I've been waiting for this all day, Debra.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38This place is brilliant.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41This is going to be an Aladdin's cave, I can see it now.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- That's 1950s, isn't it? - It's got to be.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52It's rather fun.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54HE MUTTERS
0:21:54 > 0:21:57What's this?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Well it's a pulpit, I think, isn't it?
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Do you like it?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Yeah, I can't think what use it would be.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I mean, why would you have this?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10I don't know, so many people these days are looking for interesting
0:22:10 > 0:22:14interior design features.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Do you know, I don't think Debra likes it. Sorry, Mark.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Shall we carry on?- Yeah, I think so.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Those are quite pretty, Debra, aren't they?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- They're really pretty, and do they have silver tops? - They do have silver tops.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32If you look inside this one, it's Mappin & Webb, 1899, apparently.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Quite right!
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Mappin & Webb were renowned as the quality suppliers
0:22:37 > 0:22:41of luxury goods at the end of the Victorian period.
0:22:41 > 0:22:4389 for the pair.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I'm really disturbed by the fact that
0:22:47 > 0:22:48one's slightly bigger than the other.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Shall we take these over as a consideration?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Despite Debra's concerns, Mark takes the lead,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58but before bargaining can start, he's distracted by more silverware.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Don't you think those would look elegant on your table?
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Really nice, absolutely. I like things that you can still use.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- That are quite practical?- Yeah.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09There's a case set here as well.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- A little silver... - It needs a wee polish.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- ..salt and pepper.- A wee polish. - A wee polish.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Rub-a-dub, eh? You'd better polish off the deal quickly
0:23:19 > 0:23:23because Jon and Thomas have caught up with you and are just outside.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Great name, I used to do voiceovers for places like that,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30it'd be, "Go to Mr MacDonald's Saleroom Emporium now!
0:23:30 > 0:23:34"Antiques, collectables and curios, bought and sold. Call now!"
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Would that have been for local radio? How exciting.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40This time, I won't be so reckless as I was before.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43I can hear their dulcet tones.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Mysterious sort of place.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51I think we should explore further. Who knows what we might find here!
0:23:51 > 0:23:54You'll find the opposition!
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Ah!- What do you want? Oh, go away.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- It's the Child Catcher. - What are you doing here?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02We came for our last and final shop.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06We've only just got here, it's not fair that you've arrived so quickly.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Have you been having fun?- Yes.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Careful, Debra, nattering to Jon will leave Mark free
0:24:13 > 0:24:16to dream of making more and more and more maverick purchases.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I love that pulpit.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24I think she's right, I don't know what we'd do with it, but...
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- I think it's great fun. - Over £220, it better had be.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- BRUCE FORSYTH VOICE: - See you after the break.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Finally, back to business.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Namely, a pair of silver salts with blue glass liners
0:24:37 > 0:24:40and a cased silver cruet set.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Ticket price £120.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45We were rather hoping, to give us a fighting chance...
0:24:47 > 0:24:50..we might be able to offer you and get those
0:24:50 > 0:24:53for about 60 quid, for the two.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55As the first weekly instalment, yeah.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01While the serious negotiations are going on over there,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04we're reading the Sooty annual over here...
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Nick Robinson, BBC News,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08near the big box of books.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16- LEWIS:- Give me 70, and then I can feed my daughter.- Oh.- Oh.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17We've heard this before.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20What's the decision on these, or do you want us to tell you
0:25:20 > 0:25:22what we would like to get those for?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Yeah, hit me with this one, yeah.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Because we're worried about size differential,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31we were rather hoping we'd get those for 40.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Let's make it 55.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37So adding the mismatched silver vases to the other items selected
0:25:37 > 0:25:40gives a total price of £125.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46It would be lovely to have got those for a round figure, wouldn't it?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48You know I like round figures.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50What are you offering, 110?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52No, 100, for the lot!
0:25:53 > 0:25:55What do you think, Debra?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58105?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Deal.- Thank you very much.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I'm so impressed.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Once again, Debra decisively clinches the deal.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Meanwhile, Jon's fascination with vintage continues,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12as he's drawn to a 1950s radio.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13That'd be a great thing if it works.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20You like the sort of Britishness, don't you?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23This wonderful British, sort of 1950s...
0:26:25 > 0:26:28It's just the design of it, it's really cool.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I'm not sure Thomas agrees with you there, Jon.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33On the other side of the room,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Mark is obviously up to something with young Mr MacDonald.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Right, Debra's off browsing somewhere else... I love this.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I don't know why, I just love it.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Debra doesn't see what I see in it
0:26:45 > 0:26:48and I know she's going to kill me, but I really want to buy it.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I don't want her to let me go without having it.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55In a perfect world, I'd love to try and get it as near £100 as possible
0:26:55 > 0:26:58to give me a chance. Can you come anywhere near that?
0:27:00 > 0:27:05- 120.- Right, I'm having it. I'm having it, are you sure?
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- I'm happy with that.- Really? Then I'm having it. I'm having it.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Debra's going to kill me, but I'm having it.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- As long as she doesn't kill you till you've paid.- I'll pay you now.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Shame the confessional wasn't for sale.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Time to own up, Mark.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I've bought the pulpit.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26ANNE ROBINSON VOICE: So, think you're clever, do you?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- Buying a pulpit. See what I've got in store for you!- Oh, no!
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I don't think she's taken it too badly.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36I just hope now there's a profit in it.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38So do I, Mark!
0:27:38 > 0:27:41The boys are still tuned into that radio.
0:27:41 > 0:27:47- It works, you get Radio Scotland, that's it. Well, up here.- Yes.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Can I lift it down and have a look?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52That's in really good shape.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- What's that got to be? - Make me an offer.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01I don't like this bit. I get scared. I don't like it!
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I would like to offer you £15.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- Make it 18.- 18 and it's a deal.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15- Deal.- Yeah?- Done.- Wonderful.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18AMERICAN ACCENT: How about that? I'm glad it worked out so easy.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20You're a gentleman, sir.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24The headlines, the radio has just been purchased at the Emporium.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26A report coming next...
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Jon is so excited over the sale
0:28:29 > 0:28:33that he gives young Mr MacDonald's daughter the £2 in change,
0:28:33 > 0:28:37thus Road Trip rules mean that the price of the radio is £20.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Debra's team have bagged a pair of silver-topped vases,
0:28:41 > 0:28:44two silver salts, a boxed cruet set and a pulpit.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49Total spend - £225. What a mixture!
0:28:49 > 0:28:54End of day one, and a very satisfied Jon and Debra compare notes.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58That was a very enjoyable day.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01One of those days where you feel like you've learned quite a lot,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04gone into a new field and learned all about it.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Yeah, I know, I love exploring new territory.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- THOMAS:- Jon is wonderful to work with.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14He's very funny, and all these wonderful voices.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18- MARK:- I know, I'm the same with Debra, she is so sweet.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21We've just got on like a house on fire,
0:29:21 > 0:29:24but more than that, she realises she's got the better expert.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29Naturally, obviously, you can only big yourself up that much, Mark.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Yes, I quite agree, Thomas, but right now, chaps,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35it's time for some well-earned shuteye.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Night-night!
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- JON:- I reckon, you've just got the knack for this.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45DEBRA LAUGHS
0:29:45 > 0:29:51- I worry I was a bit too impulsive yesterday.- Oh, really?- I think so.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56You know what, I think you've got to trust your instincts, Jon.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59So we've got a really relaxed day today.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Debra and Mark had a great first day...
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- Debra...- Thank you very much. - ..I'm so impressed
0:30:04 > 0:30:07..spending £330 on a 1950s Queen Anne china set,
0:30:07 > 0:30:09a Renaissance-style hall chair...
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Oh, look at that chair!
0:30:12 > 0:30:15It's horrible!
0:30:15 > 0:30:17..a pair of silver-topped vases,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20two silver salts, a silver cruet set and a pulpit -
0:30:20 > 0:30:23apparently used as a theatrical prop
0:30:23 > 0:30:25at the Edinburgh Lyceum.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- I think it's strange... - Well, I'm strange!
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Haven't you realised that yet?
0:30:31 > 0:30:35That leaves them with just £70 to spend today.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- Jon and Thomas did equally well... - You're on a bit of a roll.- Yeah,
0:30:39 > 0:30:41you've got to let things filter to you, haven't you?
0:30:41 > 0:30:44..buying an Art-Deco lamp,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46an Arts and Crafts copper-framed mirror,
0:30:46 > 0:30:49a Voigtlander Brillant camera,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52and a walnut-veneer Pye radio, as you do.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56- AS JIM BOWEN: - Super, great. We'll count it in the break. Can't beat a bit of Bully!
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Total spent £250,
0:30:58 > 0:31:02leaving them with £150 for today's hunt.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- AS NOEL EDMONDS: - The Banker says he respects you
0:31:04 > 0:31:07and he would like to offer you... £4,000.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09One couple who are not off
0:31:09 > 0:31:11antiques-hunting this morning
0:31:11 > 0:31:13are Debra and Mark. They're travelling
0:31:13 > 0:31:15from West Linton to Blantyre
0:31:15 > 0:31:16to visit the birthplace
0:31:16 > 0:31:18of Dr David Livingstone.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21The celebrated explorer and medical missionary,
0:31:21 > 0:31:25known for his work in central and southern Africa.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26The David Livingstone Centre,
0:31:26 > 0:31:28established to commemorate his life
0:31:28 > 0:31:32and work, is set in the tenement where he was born
0:31:32 > 0:31:36and adjoins the site of the cotton mill where he started work.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38The building houses many of Livingstone's possessions,
0:31:38 > 0:31:42from his time spent in Africa, unsuccessfully searching
0:31:42 > 0:31:44for the source of the Nile.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Debra and Mark will discover more
0:31:46 > 0:31:49about one of our national heroes from the late-19th century
0:31:49 > 0:31:53with tour guide Karen Carruthers.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Welcome to David Livingstone's little house.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58David Livingstone was born in this room
0:31:58 > 0:32:00on 19th March 1813
0:32:00 > 0:32:03and lived here with his parents and four siblings.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06It is quite difficult to understand
0:32:06 > 0:32:09how seven people could live in this one room. God!
0:32:09 > 0:32:13So, he had a very humble background. How did he get from this start
0:32:13 > 0:32:15to being Dr David Livingstone?
0:32:15 > 0:32:17It's an incredible story, really.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19He started working as a piecer in the mill.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22He seems to have decided early on that he was not going to stay there,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26he had a real desperate thirst for education.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29That thirst for knowledge was quite incredible,
0:32:29 > 0:32:31even though working a 14-hour day in the mill
0:32:31 > 0:32:35from the age of ten, he would study every night before going to bed.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37That thirst to learn,
0:32:37 > 0:32:40combined with Livingstone's very strong Christian faith,
0:32:40 > 0:32:41just pushed him forward.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44By 1836, aged 33,
0:32:44 > 0:32:46he was studying Medicine and Theology
0:32:46 > 0:32:50in Glasgow, having determined to become a medical missionary.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55And what else have you got that's directly related to that time
0:32:55 > 0:32:57that he spent in Africa?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59We've got an amazing collection, directly related.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Can we have a look at some of those pieces?- Absolutely.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Some are the objects from our collection,
0:33:04 > 0:33:07some journals, some navigation equipment,
0:33:07 > 0:33:09- some rather gory medical equipment. - Oh!- Oh!
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- Oh, that's medical equipment?!- Yes!
0:33:11 > 0:33:15- It looks like more like a joiner's toolbox, doesn't it? - And what about this?
0:33:15 > 0:33:18That's his medical bag. We've all seen bags like that,
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- it's amazing to think that was with Livingstone...- In Africa.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26Livingstone won the trust of local tribes with his skills
0:33:26 > 0:33:29as a medicine man, and even invented a treatment
0:33:29 > 0:33:32for malaria called Livingstone's Rousers.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34A mixture of quinine and rhubarb
0:33:34 > 0:33:36that was used until the 1920s.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I love the way they've called it tabloid,
0:33:39 > 0:33:40rather than tablet.
0:33:40 > 0:33:45But his work in Africa took him far beyond medicine.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Livingstone was a committed anti-slavery advocate
0:33:48 > 0:33:51who hoped that his explorations would help put an end
0:33:51 > 0:33:55to the dreadful trafficking of the indigenous population,
0:33:55 > 0:33:59a goal he worked tirelessly towards for many years.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00During his final expedition,
0:34:00 > 0:34:04and with nothing having been heard from him for months,
0:34:04 > 0:34:07the explorer and journalist Henry Morton Stanley
0:34:07 > 0:34:10was sent to find him, resulting in the famous phrase,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12"Dr Livingstone, I presume!"
0:34:12 > 0:34:16when they finally met, near Lake Tanganyika in 1871.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18The two men spent four or five months together
0:34:18 > 0:34:21and when Stanley was leaving Livingstone,
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Livingstone gave Stanley vast numbers of letters and journals
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- and so on to take home, and this is the little bag that...- God!
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Did he actually write that - "Positively not to be opened"?
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- I think it's actually been stitched. - Oh, it's been stitched on, has it?
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Yeah. We believe that "positively"
0:34:37 > 0:34:39was stitched by Stanley,
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- but this was by Livingstone.- Gosh!
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- You can hardly see that that's embroidery.- No!
0:34:46 > 0:34:48One of the things that he'd written about
0:34:48 > 0:34:51was a terrible massacre of over 400 people
0:34:51 > 0:34:55by Arab slave traders at a little place.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57The British public was shocked,
0:34:57 > 0:35:00putting pressure onto the government to act.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02A naval blockade was threatened
0:35:02 > 0:35:05and finally, the ruling Sultan acquiesced
0:35:05 > 0:35:08and closed the slave market in Zanzibar.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12He genuinely had a respect for them, I think, by the sounds of it,
0:35:12 > 0:35:15because he didn't go there... we know he went as a missionary
0:35:15 > 0:35:17to preach the Word of God, but he tried to understand them.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19He was on their side, really, wasn't he?
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Yeah, he was a great humanitarian.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24I think he was very different to many folk who went afterwards.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Livingstone had suffered from bad health for many years
0:35:27 > 0:35:30and he died in May 1873.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34His companions buried his heart in his beloved Africa,
0:35:34 > 0:35:36but returned his mummified body back to Britain,
0:35:36 > 0:35:41along with many of his belongings, now on display at the centre.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43His burial at Westminster Abbey
0:35:43 > 0:35:47is a testament to the Victorian public's esteem.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51- Thank you.- Thank you for having us. - It's a fascinating story. Thank you for coming.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54And it's time to track down
0:35:54 > 0:35:57our other pair of intrepid explorers, who are 30 miles away,
0:35:57 > 0:36:00heading into the village of Wiston, near beautiful Tinto Hill.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Jon and Thomas have an appointment
0:36:03 > 0:36:05to shop at Sunnyside Antiques.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08What a charming spot!
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Owned by Mark Attwood,
0:36:10 > 0:36:15perhaps he can help them select some profitable purch-ases!
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Sorry, I couldn't resist that.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Impulsive Jon has his eye on something already.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23What's that copper tank up there?
0:36:23 > 0:36:26I believe it's a big water urn
0:36:26 > 0:36:29and, as you rightly point out, it's copper, big brass tap,
0:36:29 > 0:36:34tin lined. Date-wise, probably late-19th century.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37I can certainly get it down, if you want to have a look.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Luckily, Mark's son Ben is on hand
0:36:39 > 0:36:42and delivers the tank to a doubting Thomas.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44What's it going to be?
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- £160.- Really?- Mm-hmm.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51I think that's got some room in it.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- So you wouldn't take 100?- Not at the moment, no.- Not at the moment?
0:36:54 > 0:36:58I suggest we just have a quick... We carry on looking as well.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06I quite like things like this, but that's me.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07A bushel.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Well, let's move on.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- UPPER-CLASS VOICE:- So we're not even into the main part of the shop yet
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- and we're seeing contending things. - That's good.- This bodes very well.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21This is what you sort of tend to think of antiques as being,
0:37:21 > 0:37:24sort of like dogs like that.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26That's antiques, innit, there?
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Look at them, like little porcelain Jedwards perched there.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30He's quite jolly, isn't he?
0:37:30 > 0:37:32May I have a look?
0:37:34 > 0:37:39- AS BRUCE FORSYTH:- "It's nice to see you, to see you, nice!
0:37:39 > 0:37:42"Haven't they carved me out well?"
0:37:42 > 0:37:43Very good.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50I feel like Paul Bettany and Russell Crowe.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- As Captain Jack Aubrey! - Jack Aubrey, yeah.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Not taken with porcelain dogs, masks or telescopes,
0:37:56 > 0:38:01Thomas seems to have unearthed something else.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05This Scalextric is completely out of context here.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09What's very nice about it is that it's all in mint condition and boxed
0:38:09 > 0:38:12so it makes it more desirable.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16There's a full Scalextric set,
0:38:16 > 0:38:18as well as separate boxes of accessories.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21It's toy heaven for Thomas.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24And, oh, dear! I think it's catching.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27It's got a sort of Richard Wilson quality, as if to say,
0:38:27 > 0:38:34"He's never going to get round there at that speed!"
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Produced by Triang in the 1960s,
0:38:39 > 0:38:44this CM33 set is the motor racing competition series,
0:38:44 > 0:38:47featuring models of Porsche and a D-type Jag.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51The price for everything is 350.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56Right, come on, we can't afford this and I'd want the whole lot.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- Had I not been so reckless yesterday...- Don't say that,
0:38:59 > 0:39:02don't regret, never regret, that's the thing, never regret.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Will Jon and Thomas stay on track? It's decision time.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Well, the bushel's great.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14- The bushel is great. - The copper tank.- The tank is fun.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18(I would have loved that Scalextric. I would have loved it!)
0:39:19 > 0:39:22We could still just buy the set, but...
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Thomas just can't quite lose his enthusiasm for boys' toys,
0:39:26 > 0:39:29so the Scalextric has to be,
0:39:29 > 0:39:33but will he be able to persuade Mark to split the bundle?
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Where are we?
0:39:34 > 0:39:39We're back at Scalextric, back at Scalextric,
0:39:39 > 0:39:42and would you mind splitting it up?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Um, what part...
0:39:45 > 0:39:49What components were you after?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- I was just after the box set. - Just the box set on its own?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Just the box set on its own.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57I don't think I can afford the whole lot,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00to be honest with you, unless you want to lose money.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03I'd like to give you £60 for it.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Right. Honestly, I couldn't.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11- I could quite easily get £100 for it.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15But we could meet somewhere...
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- 90.- 80.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20- No, sorry.- Go on!- No!
0:40:20 > 0:40:2185.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23- All right, then. 85, it is. - Thank you.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28I've got no hands to shake.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31And with the Scalextric safely in their possession,
0:40:31 > 0:40:34the boys decide to call a halt on their shopping,
0:40:34 > 0:40:38leaving the field clear for arrivals Debra and Mark.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40We could pull up there.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- Yeah, I think if we pull up here...- Yeah.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48- Oh.- Ooh! This is nice!
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- So we've got £70 left.- Yeah.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57We've bought five items, so we don't really need to get another one,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00but it would be nice to spend all the money, wouldn't it?
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- That's unusual, isn't it? - Yes, it's a carved shell.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06It's probably a light of some sort, but...
0:41:07 > 0:41:09It's very decorative.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13That looks quite pretty, doesn't it?
0:41:13 > 0:41:15There's a pair of them, actually.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16Aren't those patterns lovely?
0:41:16 > 0:41:22- Those little roundels. - Absolutely beautiful!
0:41:22 > 0:41:23You can see, these are my colours.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- Oh, yes!- If you look at my scarf, and you look at that vase...
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Well, that's why I picked them up.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Oh, you silver-tongued charmer!
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Cloisonne is a French term for an oriental technique
0:41:36 > 0:41:39for decorating metal objects using vitreous enamel.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43The decoration is formed by attaching metal wires or strips
0:41:43 > 0:41:47to make compartments or "clois" on the surface of the vessel,
0:41:47 > 0:41:49which remain visible on the finished piece,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52separating the different-coloured enamels.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54They may complement Debra's colours,
0:41:54 > 0:41:56but will the price match their budget?
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- Are they expensive? - They're 120, the pair.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Ooh. That's over our budget, I'm afraid, isn't it?
0:42:02 > 0:42:04They're a nice pair as well.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Luckily, there is a smaller pair.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10But this is a completely different material.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13No, no. It's absolutely the same technique.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15I like those because they're faceted.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17They've got that octagonal look,
0:42:17 > 0:42:20but this is much smoother, so it's all gone over.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- The colours are still working for me. - They're still working for you.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26They still fit in with your overall colour scheme.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30Still thumbs-up to the colours, but will it be thumbs-down to the price?
0:42:30 > 0:42:33The best on those would be 50 for the pair.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37Are we happy to go for these for £50?
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Yes, I think so.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- But it leaves us £20...- I know.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- ..which is a funny little amount to...- It's a funny little amount.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48A funny amount, hardly worth holding onto.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Let's take a peek in the silver cabinet.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54I like that spoon, but I know that's going to be more, isn't it?
0:42:54 > 0:42:57An early-20th century hallmarked copy
0:42:57 > 0:43:00of a royal anointing spoon.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- I can do that for 20.- Really?
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- Really?- Could we have a look? - We could put it in with the silver.
0:43:05 > 0:43:06We could do, I suppose.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09That's a copy, definitely, of the silver anointer,
0:43:09 > 0:43:12- but it's beautifully made. - It's beautiful.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Should we do that?- Yeah. - Let's shake hands, all right?
0:43:14 > 0:43:16The vases and this for 70 quid.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18- That's great.- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- You're welcome.- Perfect.
0:43:20 > 0:43:21You're driving.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25Deal done, money spent, time to reunite with Jon and Thomas.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Just delicately take it off.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29Only polite to... Ladies first, really.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33- And one more.- Oh!
0:43:33 > 0:43:36Oh, Mark! We need to go over and have a look.
0:43:36 > 0:43:41We need to examine... That's a delightful hall chair.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44Well, there's a surprise - Thomas likes the chair.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46The one Debra hated.
0:43:46 > 0:43:50- But it's her pride and joy, the tea service, up next.- Yes, I must say,
0:43:50 > 0:43:52it was a bit of a personal choice
0:43:52 > 0:43:55and it was my choice, wasn't it?
0:43:55 > 0:43:56- You humoured me.- How much was it?
0:43:56 > 0:44:00- 35.- Yes.- 35 for a six-place setting?
0:44:00 > 0:44:03- 12.- 12?- There are 12 cups and saucers.- That's a bargain!
0:44:03 > 0:44:04Is it dishwasher proof?
0:44:06 > 0:44:08Very much doubt it, Jon!
0:44:08 > 0:44:11What do you make of the silver-topped vases, then?
0:44:11 > 0:44:15- Very good quality.- Good quality. - They were actually £35 for the two.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18- Oh, my God, that's such a good price.- That's a result.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20No-one's commented on the size difference.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23- And the cloisonne?- The cloisonne,
0:44:23 > 0:44:26these were one of our final purchases.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- They're lovely.- They're lovely. - Sort of early-20th century.- £80?
0:44:29 > 0:44:31- No, we paid, actually, £50 for them. - Oh! Bargain.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34This one was 20. It's a little silver anointing spoon.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38Some items are just too big to pop in the back of a car,
0:44:38 > 0:44:40so Mark has to improvise, using the medium of mime.
0:44:40 > 0:44:46- We've got a very big pulpit, haven't we?- Oh, yes, huge.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49- Yeah, we spent every penny of our money.- Let's look at your lots.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52Next up, Jon and Thomas reveal their haul to Debra and Mark.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55Let's do a magician's reveal with the thing.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59Oh, Jon! This is so you!
0:44:59 > 0:45:04Gosh. Mark - actually lost for words for once!
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Look at the Scalextric!
0:45:06 > 0:45:07But moving on,
0:45:07 > 0:45:10I have to tell you what my favourite item is, if I may...
0:45:10 > 0:45:14- Of course.- ..be so bold. It's the mirror.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17Was that expensive, Jon?
0:45:17 > 0:45:18No, it wasn't too bad, was it?
0:45:18 > 0:45:21No, it wasn't. We bought three items as a group.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24- Oh, yes?- Was this in our first shop?
0:45:24 > 0:45:27- It was. We were a bit impulsive. - So the Art-Deco desk lamp...
0:45:27 > 0:45:31- That's beautiful as well. - ..the camera and the mirror
0:45:31 > 0:45:36was all one bundle at £230.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39So it comes in at 80, 30, 120.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42And what about the BBC radio?
0:45:42 > 0:45:44It's in such good condition,
0:45:44 > 0:45:47walnut-veneered, but really...
0:45:47 > 0:45:50- It works as well. - I think it's lovely.- Expensive?
0:45:50 > 0:45:52- £20.- It was nothing for £20, was it?
0:45:52 > 0:45:56- Oh, you've got a really good lot. - You've got a good selection.- Yeah.
0:45:56 > 0:45:57And you know what I like most?
0:45:57 > 0:46:02- They're completely different to ours.- Yeah, it's really funny how
0:46:02 > 0:46:07- it's really brought out the character in us...- Completely different.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10And you two have helped to do that.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13OK, what do our team really think?
0:46:13 > 0:46:16I think they'll be very popular on the day.
0:46:17 > 0:46:21People will, I think, want to own the delicate crockery
0:46:21 > 0:46:23and the salt and pepper set.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28They reflect, you know, Debra's personality very much.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32I love what they have, but I don't feel envious of what they have,
0:46:32 > 0:46:36you know, I'm really in admiration of what they've chosen.
0:46:36 > 0:46:41I think the really shiny china is really delightful.
0:46:41 > 0:46:46and going to do jolly well - for a setting of 12, £35 is nothing.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48- Dealers, yeah.- I mean, I love their Art-Deco lamp,
0:46:48 > 0:46:52but they did pay £100-odd for it, which is quite a lot.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55Right, gentle admiration for each other's items.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58However, the auction will decide the outcome of this contest.
0:46:58 > 0:47:02Time to get the show on the road and set off south to Essex. Innit?!
0:47:05 > 0:47:07- Is this it?- This is it!
0:47:07 > 0:47:09The experts are first to arrive
0:47:09 > 0:47:13at Boningtons auction house in Loughton.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15Both teams started with £400 each.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19Debra and Mark spent every last penny
0:47:19 > 0:47:22and ended up with seven items organised into six auction lots.
0:47:24 > 0:47:28But Jon and Thomas only spent £335...
0:47:28 > 0:47:30Hang on a minute!
0:47:30 > 0:47:32..giving them five scorching auction lots.
0:47:32 > 0:47:37However, Shaban, who will be assisting at today's sale,
0:47:37 > 0:47:41has some unwelcome news regarding one of Debra and Mark's lots.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45The tea set, if someone brought that into us on the front desk,
0:47:45 > 0:47:47I'd value that at £80-£120...
0:47:47 > 0:47:49Well, I'd be thrilled with that.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51But unfortunately, your tea set
0:47:51 > 0:47:53apparently has been damaged in transit.
0:47:53 > 0:47:57- So we're slightly concerned... - Oh, well, that is very concerning.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00That is a blow.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03Without the damage, it was valued at between £80 and £120.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06Unlikely to realise that now.
0:48:06 > 0:48:10How will Debra take the news?!
0:48:10 > 0:48:14Speaking of Debra, what's delayed her and Jon?
0:48:14 > 0:48:17Thomas, I don't know about you, I'm getting a bit nervous.
0:48:17 > 0:48:18Why, because of your lots?
0:48:18 > 0:48:21No, because there's two empty seats here.
0:48:21 > 0:48:25- We're missing somebody.- We are missing our friends.- Debra.- And Jon.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28I agree. With the auction already under way,
0:48:28 > 0:48:30they're cutting it a bit fine.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33Perhaps they're panicking about what they bought!
0:48:33 > 0:48:35But staying away won't postpone the pain.
0:48:35 > 0:48:39- You need to tell her about your tea set.- Yeah, but I'm going to...
0:48:39 > 0:48:41- No, don't mention it. - I won't mention it.
0:48:41 > 0:48:45Because I'm going to mention it just before the lot comes up,
0:48:45 > 0:48:46so she doesn't worry about it.
0:48:46 > 0:48:50Ah! Here they are at last. Quick!
0:48:50 > 0:48:53- Sit down, the auction is about to begin.- Just in time!
0:48:53 > 0:48:57First up, the silver salts, cased silver cruet set
0:48:57 > 0:49:00and silver anointing spoon as a job lot.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Look at her face.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04£100. 100, I'm bid.
0:49:04 > 0:49:08- Oh, we've got 100.- 110, 120.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10I shall sell it at £110.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13- Are you all out at 110, then? - Come on, a bit more.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16Not the start they were hoping for,
0:49:16 > 0:49:18but at least a profit after commission.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20Oh, the meanies!
0:49:20 > 0:49:24The meanies! Will Jon's copper mirror excite the buyers instead?
0:49:24 > 0:49:26Start with £60 for it.
0:49:26 > 0:49:2860, surely?!
0:49:28 > 0:49:3140, if you like.
0:49:31 > 0:49:3430, I'm bid. Looking for two. 30's the bid, 32,
0:49:34 > 0:49:3834, 36, 38, 40 - 5.
0:49:38 > 0:49:4050 - 5. 50's the bid
0:49:40 > 0:49:44and I'm selling at £50. Are you all out now at 50?
0:49:44 > 0:49:48I'm selling at 50...5, good man, good man. 55.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50- Oh, rock and roll.- Yeah.
0:49:50 > 0:49:5260 - 5. 70.
0:49:52 > 0:49:57Are you sure, sir? One more. 65 there. 70?
0:49:57 > 0:50:0070 - 5. One more?
0:50:00 > 0:50:0170's the bid at the back,
0:50:01 > 0:50:07and I'm selling at £70. Are you all done at 70, then?
0:50:07 > 0:50:10Stalled at 70 - a loss.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13- That'll do.- Got themselves a very nice mirror.- Yes.
0:50:13 > 0:50:18Indeed, they did. Now, Deb and Mark's oddly mismatched vases.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21Let's hope the size difference doesn't affect the price.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23Start me at £30. I'm trying to build it up there, bro.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26£30, £30!
0:50:26 > 0:50:29£30? 20, if you like.
0:50:29 > 0:50:3120, 22, 24,
0:50:31 > 0:50:3526, 28. 30. - 32. Go on, one more...
0:50:35 > 0:50:36Come on!
0:50:36 > 0:50:4032. 34! 34. 36?
0:50:40 > 0:50:4434's the bid. 36, anywhere else?
0:50:44 > 0:50:4936. 38? 36 is there. Looking for 38.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52I'm selling at £36. Are you all done?
0:50:52 > 0:50:54Oh, that's disappointing.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57This is beginning to look bleak for both teams.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59Somebody's got a bargain.
0:50:59 > 0:51:04Jon and Thomas's Art-Deco lamp. They've got high hopes for this.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06- That looks lovely on the screen. - It does look lovely.
0:51:06 > 0:51:09Start me £100 for that one.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12- Silence.- 80, if you like.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16Is there £60 anywhere?
0:51:16 > 0:51:18Oh, come on!
0:51:18 > 0:51:22- Put it in at 40, then. £40, I'm looking for.- I'll start at 30.
0:51:22 > 0:51:2430, I'm bid. Looking for two.
0:51:24 > 0:51:2932, 34, 36, 38, 40. 40?
0:51:29 > 0:51:3138's there. 40?
0:51:31 > 0:51:3538 and selling. 40 - new bidder. 42.
0:51:35 > 0:51:4044, 46, 48, 50. 48's the bid there. 50?
0:51:40 > 0:51:44I'm selling it at £48. Are you all out now at 48?
0:51:45 > 0:51:47Ouch! That hurt.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50That's for nothing, Jon. I'm so sorry.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52That really should have made a lot...
0:51:54 > 0:51:57Will Debra and Mark's cloisonne vases go the distance?
0:51:57 > 0:51:5920, if you like, for the vases.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02- 20, I'm bid. - Come on!
0:52:02 > 0:52:0520, I'm bid, looking for two. 22, 24,
0:52:05 > 0:52:0926? 24's there. Looking for 26.
0:52:09 > 0:52:1126, 28?
0:52:11 > 0:52:14- 26 is your bid. - No!
0:52:14 > 0:52:17I'm going to buy them myself. No way! You've got to be kidding me.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22Another loss. Time for another Jedi mind trick.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25- Maybe I should incorporate that Jedi trick.- Ha-ha.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31Can we picture a profit with Jon and Thomas's camera?
0:52:31 > 0:52:34I am bid 25 on commission. I'm looking for 30 in the room.
0:52:34 > 0:52:3830 - 2's with me. 34, 36.
0:52:38 > 0:52:42- It's getting rolling.- 38, 40.
0:52:42 > 0:52:4342, 44?
0:52:44 > 0:52:4844, I've got, and I'm selling at £44.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51Are you all out on the camera at 44, then?
0:52:51 > 0:52:56- At last! Will this rally continue? - That's high, you've done well!
0:52:56 > 0:53:00We can go with our 'eads 'eld 'igh, no matter what 'appens now!
0:53:01 > 0:53:05"On your head be it," I believe were the words, Mark.
0:53:05 > 0:53:08- This is rather nice.- It's lovely. - Start me at £50 for it.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10- Come on.- It's not very nice.
0:53:10 > 0:53:1240, if you like.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14Is there £30 anywhere?
0:53:14 > 0:53:1630, I'm bid. Looking for two.
0:53:16 > 0:53:1932, 34, 36, 38,
0:53:19 > 0:53:2240 - 5. 50? 45's the bid.
0:53:22 > 0:53:2550, sir? 45 and selling.
0:53:25 > 0:53:2950. New bidder. Five? 50's the bid.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31Are you all done now at £50, then?
0:53:33 > 0:53:36Oh! How's your head, then, Mark?
0:53:36 > 0:53:37£50. £20 loss.
0:53:39 > 0:53:43Time to break the news about the tea service.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46- There's been a bit of an accident. - What do you mean?
0:53:46 > 0:53:48Has someone dropped a teacup?
0:53:48 > 0:53:50Well, two of the cups have been damaged in transit.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53You've got to be kidding me?! Oh, what?
0:53:53 > 0:53:55- But don't worry, Debra.- Aw!
0:53:55 > 0:53:59The whole point was that it was 12 pieces of everything.
0:53:59 > 0:54:02We're OK, because the rules state
0:54:02 > 0:54:07that what they said it was worth perfect, which is £80-120,
0:54:07 > 0:54:10we'll be paid the mid-estimate,
0:54:10 > 0:54:13so whatever happens, we're going to get £100 for it.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15Start me at £30 for that.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18- Oh, dear.- 20, if you like.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23No-one at 20. Is there 15 anywhere?
0:54:23 > 0:54:2615, I'm bid. Looking for 18.
0:54:26 > 0:54:2818, I'm bid, looking for 18.
0:54:28 > 0:54:32I've 18, 20. 22.
0:54:32 > 0:54:3524. 22's the bid
0:54:35 > 0:54:38and I'm selling at 22. Are you all done?
0:54:40 > 0:54:44Technically a loss, but in original condition, valued by the auctioneer
0:54:44 > 0:54:50at between £80-120, luckily, thanks to the Road Trip rules,
0:54:50 > 0:54:53this means they'll receive the low valuation of £80
0:54:53 > 0:54:55because of the damage.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59Every cloud has a silver lining!
0:54:59 > 0:55:02Will the Scalextric get the boys back on track to win?
0:55:04 > 0:55:07Bids on the books start with me at £60.
0:55:07 > 0:55:08I'm looking for five in the room.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10I am bid £60 - 5.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12It's with you, sir. Is there 70 anywhere?
0:55:12 > 0:55:1565's there, looking for 70.
0:55:15 > 0:55:18I shall sell it at 65.
0:55:18 > 0:55:22- Are you all out now at 65, then? - Does he realise he's got a bargain?
0:55:22 > 0:55:25Spun off at the chicane and another £20 down.
0:55:25 > 0:55:29- I don't know anything about it. - I thought it was really likeable.
0:55:29 > 0:55:33I would have thought it would be very desirable to a lot of people.
0:55:35 > 0:55:39Next up, it's the retro item that Jon couldn't leave behind,
0:55:39 > 0:55:42but will the vintage radio prove a turn-on for the bidders?
0:55:42 > 0:55:46Interest in this one means I've got to come straight in at 35.
0:55:46 > 0:55:50- Ooh.- 45, 55, 65, 75.
0:55:50 > 0:55:54It's with me on commission at £80. I'm looking for five in the room.
0:55:54 > 0:55:58- It's with me on commission at £80. - You just don't know, do you?
0:55:58 > 0:56:00I shall sell it on commission at 80.
0:56:00 > 0:56:04Are you all done on this one at £80, then?
0:56:04 > 0:56:06Finally! A tiny profit.
0:56:06 > 0:56:10Your instinct paid off handsomely. Well done, Jon.
0:56:10 > 0:56:13- Marvellous.- Maybe it's because we gave the change away,
0:56:13 > 0:56:15- we got good karma. - That was it, wasn't it?
0:56:15 > 0:56:18- You know what this means, of course, don't you?- Yes.
0:56:18 > 0:56:20It's all down to the pulpit.
0:56:20 > 0:56:23Far too late to apologise now, Mark.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26But have the courage of your convictions, man.
0:56:26 > 0:56:28This pulpit could be the making of you!
0:56:28 > 0:56:33I am bid £100 on commission. I am looking for 110 in the room.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36110. I've got 120.
0:56:36 > 0:56:41130. 120's here with me.
0:56:41 > 0:56:43I'm going to buy it back!
0:56:43 > 0:56:45It could be yours. I'm selling it at 120.
0:56:45 > 0:56:47Are you all done at 120, then?
0:56:48 > 0:56:51You're ahead of your time on that one.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53That happens to us so much, Jon.
0:56:53 > 0:56:57As the dust settles, time to lick their wounds
0:56:57 > 0:56:59and reflect on what might have been.
0:57:01 > 0:57:03Our celebrities began with £400 each.
0:57:05 > 0:57:10After auction costs, Jon and Thomas have made a loss of £83.26,
0:57:10 > 0:57:15so end their Road Trip with a total of £316.74.
0:57:16 > 0:57:19Shocking.
0:57:19 > 0:57:24After auction costs, Debra and Mark have made a loss of £53.96
0:57:24 > 0:57:29and end their Road Trip with a total of £346.04,
0:57:29 > 0:57:32giving them the Pyrrhic victory.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35You can get cream for it, if you like a bit of Pyrrhic.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38- Well done, Tom. - Had our teams generated any profits,
0:57:38 > 0:57:41- they would have gone to Children in Need.- Well done, Debra.
0:57:41 > 0:57:45Well... That was a bit of a...
0:57:45 > 0:57:47- Rollercoaster!- Yeah!
0:57:47 > 0:57:49Ups and downs, mainly downs.
0:57:49 > 0:57:51Isn't it funny that
0:57:51 > 0:57:55- the luckiest thing that happened to us was the tea set breaking?- I know.
0:57:55 > 0:57:57- It's been lovely meeting you. - It has been wonderful.
0:57:57 > 0:57:59We've had such fun, wonderful fun.
0:57:59 > 0:58:03- Thank you so much for being such a good spirit.- Thank you.
0:58:05 > 0:58:09Time to say goodbye, but Jon and Debra have certainly
0:58:09 > 0:58:13left a lasting "impression" on Thomas and Mark.
0:58:13 > 0:58:17But then, you'd expect that after all, wouldn't you?
