0:00:02 > 0:00:06- Some of the nation's favourite celebrities...- What if we were to say 150 for the two?
0:00:06 > 0:00:07You've got a deal.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08..one antiques expert each...
0:00:08 > 0:00:10I'll just turn my back!
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Da, 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 > 0:00:20Wait for me, wait for me, wait for me!
0:00:22 > 0:00:26..and auction for a big profit further down the road?
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Keep going.
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!
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Buckled up and raring to go on this Road Trip,
0:00:50 > 0:00:55we have two characters sure to make a drama out of a crisis.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56It's the King and Queen of Soapland -
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Pam St Clement and Rudolph Walker.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Today's antiques hunters are best known for residing
0:01:04 > 0:01:07in one of the liveliest addresses in the country.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Having been through more husbands...
0:01:09 > 0:01:11"You are now man and wife together."
0:01:11 > 0:01:13..earth-shattering news...
0:01:13 > 0:01:15It's all gone wrong, love.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17..and explosions than most,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20and as one of the longest-serving cast members
0:01:20 > 0:01:23on Britain's favourite soap,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Pam St Clement has secured a place in the nation's heart
0:01:25 > 0:01:29as the formidable Pat Butcher from EastEnders.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Oh! Temper, temper!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I'm very apprehensive about this, Rudi.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I don't know anything about antiques.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Don't tell anybody. Well, I know what I like.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- Do you enjoy shopping?- I do.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Unfortunately, when I'm feeling miserable and depressed,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- that's when I spend the most money. - That's very feminine!
0:01:48 > 0:01:49RUDI LAUGHS
0:01:49 > 0:01:51MUSIC: "Smooth Operator" by Sade
0:01:51 > 0:01:54From classics like Othello to controversial sitcoms
0:01:54 > 0:01:57like Love Thy Neighbour, Rudi's career spans over 45 years,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01and this smooth operator is showing no signs of slowing down.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03You've got a lot to learn, boy!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06The fellow EastEnders veteran who is still walking the walk
0:02:06 > 0:02:11as loveable gent Patrick Trueman famously had a fling with our Pat.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Why don't you get back to your wife, eh?
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Ouch!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18He's even been decorated by Her Majesty the Queen,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22so you can call him Rudolph Walker OBE, no less.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28But the great British summer has got them off to a rather damp start.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Oh, Rudi, look at this, for goodness' sakes.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Gosh, Pam's quite posh, isn't she?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Seaside on a summer's day...
0:02:37 > 0:02:40And they're sailing towards their challenge
0:02:40 > 0:02:44in a rather splendid 1973 Rolls Royce Corniche - cor, I say.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Beautiful movement, isn't it? - It is...
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Oh, we're talking about the car now, aren't we(?)
0:02:48 > 0:02:50RUDI LAUGHS
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Never likely to let something as trivial as a spot of rain
0:02:55 > 0:02:58dampen their spirits, and ensuring that everyone sticks to the script,
0:02:58 > 0:02:59we have two more cast members.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02If I was to quickly waft...
0:03:02 > 0:03:04In a supporting role, we have someone who,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07if you mention the Queen Vic to, he might blush.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Yes, it's the man who famously auctioned off
0:03:10 > 0:03:12a pair of Queen Victoria's knickers -
0:03:12 > 0:03:15it's the ever-dapper, ever-dashing Charles Hanson.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Charles, there's no time, you can't look at waistcoats.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20You're antiqueing, for God's sake, man, come on.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I am six foot - ooh!
0:03:23 > 0:03:26And completing this dazzling line-up, we have the elder statesman
0:03:26 > 0:03:29with more auction experience than you can shake a gavel at -
0:03:29 > 0:03:33over 20 years, you know - it's the local legend James Braxton.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I think you've got an advantage,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37because you know this area quite well, don't you?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- I'm on home ground. - This is your home patch.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44I'm the away team taking on the might of Braxton and his companion.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46And whilst our luvvies cruise in their Rolls,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49our experts are careering towards their curtain call
0:03:49 > 0:03:55in this quintessentially English 1960 Morris Minor.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- And so we are going east.- No, west.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Oh, yeah, west.- We're going west.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02That way. Watch out, Charles.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04You're making me nervous, Charles.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Oh, boy, we could be in for a bumpy ride here.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I've got to be careful, because I'm going to keep saying,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12AS FRANK BUTCHER: "Pat, look at this!"
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I imagine she's quite a tough lady,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- do you think she'll be tough in her bargaining?- I think she will be.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- RUDI:- At the end of the day, they know their stuff.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Well, hopefully!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23RUDI LAUGHS
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Let the antique-hunting masterclass begin.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Learning to navigate negotiations with £400 each,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Pam and Rudolph have two days of intense shopping,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36one crucial auction and no time to spare.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40The ever-alluring East Sussex coast endeavours to dazzle
0:04:40 > 0:04:43at the starting point for this three-county road trip,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46taking in Kent and winding up at auction
0:04:46 > 0:04:49in the market town of Rayleigh in Essex.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52The rather posh, bracing Bexhill-on-Sea
0:04:52 > 0:04:56poses as the backdrop for our cast's first encounter.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Here we are! Come on, ram it up now!
0:04:58 > 0:04:59What an amazing building.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03It's the old train station, and a fabulous antiques shop.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Oh, here they are, James.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Best behaviour, look smart, ready for action.- Hello.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- James.- James.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Great to see you.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- Do you collect antiques? - No, I don't.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Well, I will guide you through the vast variety of antiques there are.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21Have you any great flair for a certain aspect of antiques?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23No, I have no flair at all. I mean, forget that.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26No, get out of here! But you're full of colour, you're vibrant...
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Having established their novice status, it's an even match,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33though there is one imbalance which needs to be addressed -
0:05:33 > 0:05:34who gets the Rolls?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Rudolph, we'd better make sure we hang onto this car,
0:05:37 > 0:05:40and Charles and Pat can get in the Morris.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41I think this is more us, isn't it?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- I mean, it's more me. - It is more you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- You're in the Morris, by the way. - Sorry?
0:05:45 > 0:05:46You'd better go in the Minor.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Charles is the most appalling driver, Pam,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- but you're in safe hands in that car.- What are you saying?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Rudi has relinquished this lovely car to me.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Well, I am having second thoughts. - It's him! He's the troublemaker!
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Come on, let's get in there. First mover advantage, I think.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Has he got those car keys anywhere hidden on that dashboard?
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Nip round there and see if they're in the ignition.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- No, they've gone.- Oh, darn.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Oh, no, they're here! I've got the keys!
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Let's go inside.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20The first dastardly deed of the day done - let's hope that doesn't end up costing them.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Let's find all these goodies.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27This fabulous old train station houses
0:06:27 > 0:06:29a vast collection of quirky and classic items.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31James, what about... No?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Pair of glasses. But do you see the difference in height?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37There's chunks been taken out of that and they've ground it down.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- OK.- So that's why it's a different height.- Wow.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- So... Lesson number one. - Lesson number one.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45A lot to take in.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Luckily, owner Andrew Towle is on hand to help.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Don't worry, that's not him.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Don't do all the work yourself. This is the owner.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Yeah, but he's also selling.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I know, I know. We'll trust him.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- All right.- He has a kindly look about him, doesn't he, Rudi?
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Yes.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09With underhand tactics already at play with these two,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I can do nothing but wish them good luck - or should I say break a leg?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Did you ever have any antiques on EastEnders at all?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Nope.- Nothing at all?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18No, no. Only the actors.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Come on, Pam, that's no way to speak about Barbara Windsor.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25What's your taste? Is it furniture, is it silver, is it jewellery?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- I like glassware.- Yes, yeah.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- I like china, I like jewels.- Yes.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I always like anything that glitters.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- The market is good for things like small silver.- Right.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- For things like small bits of porcelain, for collectibles.- Yes.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Where the market is suffering, for no apparent reason,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46is this sort of market furniture.
0:07:46 > 0:07:52This chest is 1810. You're talking Waterloo, you're talking George III.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55It's real history, but at the moment, at auction,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58they're barely making £150.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Top tips there, then, Charles.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03And don't forget, we're going from this grand antiques centre
0:08:03 > 0:08:07to try and make money, so we've got to really dig deep.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Got a task, haven't we? - We have got a task, exactly.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15No pressure, then(!)
0:08:15 > 0:08:16But taking it in their stride,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20James and Rudolph are finding all sorts of weird and wonderful things.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22That's a pretty little rosewood box.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Yeah, very unusual. Good quality, the rosewood.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Goodness.- Inlaid with mother of pearl. Feel the weight of it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Jeez!
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- I think it was off a ship, to stop the movement.- Wow.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35But I mean, how many of these would be around, do you think?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Have you come across something like this?
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- Never. It's a novelty. Anything unusual sells.- Right.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45So that would be off one of these fabulous Victorian yachts,
0:08:45 > 0:08:46- wouldn't it?- Absolutely.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Probably an engineer or something,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51his wife said, "Right, darling, we're going on board ship."
0:08:51 > 0:08:53It's so heavy, this.
0:08:53 > 0:08:59What some clever person has done is, they've lined beneath the base here.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02It's a big piece of lead, but it's fabulous, isn't it?
0:09:02 > 0:09:03What could that be, Andy?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07I could do it for 45 for you, James, just to give you a chance.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Rudi, if you weren't here, I would be ripping that man's hand off.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Well, rip it off - I'll just turn my back.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Thank you. First one done. That is fabulous, Rudi.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20You did say you could go ahead then, didn't you?
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Yeah, yeah!
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Give the man a shake. - Wow. I'm quite happy.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Rudi, I hate to sound boastful,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- but I think we've just slipped into the lead here.- Yep.
0:09:29 > 0:09:35Boast away, James. At £45, the box is a bargain.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I quite like the chairs. Do you like them?
0:09:38 > 0:09:39No. Don't do anything for me at all.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- I love these chairs, aren't they great?- Oh, my lord.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46I love those chairs. They're heavy, they're rich, they're carved.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50But in today's market, has anybody got a home
0:09:50 > 0:09:54that would accommodate four of those enormously space-taking-up chairs?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57I love them.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02At least Pam was paying attention to what Charles was saying earlier,
0:10:02 > 0:10:03even if he wasn't.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05These chairs, again, early 18th century.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08They're good chairs, aren't they?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11They are, but I don't see them going. I really...
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Meanwhile, Rudolph has been captivated by something
0:10:19 > 0:10:21altogether more delicate.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- That's interesting.- Hey, hello.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Oh, they're nice, aren't they? - That's not what caught my eye(!)
0:10:27 > 0:10:30We're all men of the world.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Oh, of course! It's more these that caught my eye.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Who is Yvonne Macfie?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40So Roaring Thirties, wasn't it?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43So we'd all recovered a bit after the Great War
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and then the Wall Street Crash of '29.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48There's a look, isn't there?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50And quite austere, look at that.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Look at that with the fur.- Yeah.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Rudi, I can see you're itching
0:10:56 > 0:10:58to take on Andy in a bit of haggling there.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Personally, if I was buying something like that,
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- I really wouldn't go above £20. - Really?
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Well, I think that would be a great buy if we got them for 20.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10OK, let's see!
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Here we go - Rudolph's first haggling test.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Can you throw these in with the thing we're buying?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19No. I can do a deal on these, though. 20 quid, I can do these for.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21No, I'd give you that for 10.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23What can we... I mean, it's not someone that's well-known.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Oh, it is. Well-known to me.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Well-known to you, yeah!
0:11:30 > 0:11:34£20 is a giveaway, really. If you don't do well on that...
0:11:34 > 0:11:36In fact - go on, come clean, Rudi.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39You said, "If he says about..."
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Yeah, I mean, if you...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43"If he says about 20, I'll buy them."
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Wait a minute, James, whose side are you on?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49You're on the same wavelength, you two!
0:11:49 > 0:11:51He's our man, he's our man! He's reading you.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I'm trying to do me best.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58He drives a hard bargain, our Rudi.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Shaking on £20 for the bevy of beauties,
0:12:00 > 0:12:05and they paid £45 for the rosewood box - not a bad start, chaps.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Andy, have they bought anything yet, the other team?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12They have bought two items, Charles.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Have they bought well?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17I think they've bought well, I think you've got to start working, Charles.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Do I detect a whiff of desperation in the air?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Right, let's have a look and see what else you've got.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Is there anything you haven't put out yet?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Nice try, though.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29How much is the canteen, out of interest?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I can do that for 65.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32What is it?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Fish forks, aren't they? - They're fish forks, yes.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Did you ever serve with fish forks and knives
0:12:37 > 0:12:39in the old pub on EastEnders?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43No, don't be foolish. Don't do that in pubs.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46And that's him told!
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Mental note. Thank you, Andy, we'll think on it.- Yeah, sure.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Nothing is doing it for me here.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55And you know, I want to give you a wow factor.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59I want to give you a real, "Look at this, Pam, this is really great."
0:12:59 > 0:13:00No, no, I'm...
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I'm walking round a bit aimlessly and I want to impress you, Pam.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07I think whilst they're negotiating and they bought two items,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10why don't we hop in their car and hop off?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12What a good idea. OK.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16So far, grabbing the Rolls first is the only thing
0:13:16 > 0:13:19this mischievous pair have agreed on.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- They're coming out very shortly, OK? - Quickly, quickly!
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Ha-ha!
0:13:27 > 0:13:29ENGINE FAILS TO START
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Oh, no, start!
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Oh, dear.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Oh, it's as dead as a doornail. - It's dead.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Right. Put it in neutral.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Yeah, I'm in neutral.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Mind you, looks like Pam's done this before.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Have you got the brake on? Yes?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Hold on, the brake's off now. OK. - OK?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Yeah, OK, try now. Keep going!
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- That's it, that's it. - Keep going!
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Such a gent, Charles - allowing the lady to push.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Wait for me, wait for me!
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Hop in, quick! - And there you have it -
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Pam St Clement and Charles Hanson in Grand Theft Auto.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Oh! The rotters.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14DRAMATIC DRUMBEAT FROM EASTENDERS
0:14:14 > 0:14:18The scrabble for their first antique is taking our rogues
0:14:18 > 0:14:23five miles east along the coast to historic Hastings.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Hastings has an incredible history of maritime adventures,
0:14:26 > 0:14:29smugglers and, of course, the first castle
0:14:29 > 0:14:31to be built in England by William the Conqueror.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Today, it has a cosmopolitan vibe, and luckily for us,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38some fabulous antique shops.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Pam, are you a Pamela or just Pam?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I quite like Pamela. Pamela rolls off the tongue quite nicely.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45- Might I call you Pamela? - Please do.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Do you like my waistcoat? I love your waistcoat.- Really?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Men should be cavaliers, they should be dressy and peacocks.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I'm a bit puny really, Pamela, I'm...
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Some people look better in clothes,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58some people look better out of clothes.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Yeah, it's a good point, thanks.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03With nothing bought, these two players need a plan.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I'm determined to spend all our money,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07because look what we're driving, hey?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Let's reflect our motor.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Eat your heart out, Rudi!
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Their second stop of the day, Nelson House Antiques.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19How's that? Oops! How's that?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23"Worn relics part exchanged".
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Don't get any ideas, cos you're not part-exing me, thank you!
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Proprietor Sue Bower's standing by.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- Hello, there! - Hi, hello, hello. Nice to see you.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Look at this.- That is...
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- Look at this for the mother of all chandeliers, here.- Splendid.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Not dissimilar to one of Pat's famous earrings!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48You're a lady who likes a good glint. What's it worth?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- 850.- 850?
0:15:50 > 0:15:54It could be yours for £3,200.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Go home!
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Exactly, Charles.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I mean, unless there's a pair, there's no way Pam's going to be interested!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02That's a good old screen, isn't it?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Look at that.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06"In a dream, I saw them stand
0:16:06 > 0:16:08"Hope and memory, hand in hand
0:16:08 > 0:16:11"Hope's sweet face was bid from view,
0:16:11 > 0:16:14"But I knew it, pure and true."
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Could you stand by this screen for the next month
0:16:16 > 0:16:17and sell it for me, Pam?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19You'd be wonderful!
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Come on, you two - the day is wearing on and you're still antique-less!
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- We need to get buying. - I know we do.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28We are a lady and gent on the run.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32We're in the Rolls, but we need now some objects to go in the boot,
0:16:32 > 0:16:33- don't we?- We do.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- We do, don't we?- We do, indeed.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I'm sorry about this, Pam. I'm not a bad expert.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41It's just...it's not...you know, I'm not seeing it yet.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45It's never over until that big lady sings.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I know, I know.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50How frustrating! You two aren't having any luck at all.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Or could this be what I believe is referred to as "bad karma"?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Excuse me, sir.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58There's no other antique centre around here, is there?
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Big antique centre?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Well, the only other antique shop is down in George Street.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Oh, yes! Oh, Pam, look at this.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Great. I'm feeling more antique inspired now.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Glad to hear it, Charles.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Shop manager David Hunt wants to show our day-trippers
0:17:17 > 0:17:19something which might just fit the bill.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20This only came in on Friday.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Pam, you know what I said - we like market fresh.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26We like new things in, untouched.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Pam, would you take a glass of white wine out of that?
0:17:31 > 0:17:32If I was feeling strong enough... Feel that.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35A really heavy... Oh, yeah, that's great, isn't it?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Bohemian. 1880 or thereabouts.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Exactly. - So the way this was made, Pam,
0:17:39 > 0:17:43you would have had this almost cameo of glass, a sandwich of glass,
0:17:43 > 0:17:47and the engraver would have engraved through the yellows,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51rub it all out, to reveal the sandwich of clear glass underneath.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53And look at the deer in the landscape.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56That's quite nice. Look at that detail.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58You don't have to sell it to me, Charles!
0:17:58 > 0:18:01It's whether, you know, it would sit happily in our auction.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08It says £95. The absolute best on that would be...?
0:18:08 > 0:18:1080, it would be - that's it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Hm. I would offer you £70, for cash.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15And I would have to say no.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Can't just come down a little bit? 75?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I've come down £5 more than I should anyway...
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Sure. Sure.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23So I...you know...
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Oh, dear! Three shops down and nothing bought.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28This is turning into a tragedy.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- I can't believe we're still empty-handed.- I know.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Are you really concerned?- Yes.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Really? Live in hope, OK?- OK.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36I'm sorry!
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Yes, live in hope - things can't get any worse.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- We're going in the wrong direction, aren't we?- We are.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44I lied.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Never mind.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51Meanwhile, James and Rudolph are clearly enjoying the Morris' charm.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Rudi, do you like cars substantial?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I like the solid, substantial cars -
0:18:56 > 0:18:59the ones that really sit on the road and they're heavy.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Yeah. How did we end up in this, then?
0:19:02 > 0:19:03How did we...?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05OK, maybe not!
0:19:05 > 0:19:09With the wind in their hair - well, you know what I mean -
0:19:09 > 0:19:13James and Rudolph are making their way 20 miles north-east
0:19:13 > 0:19:18to idyllic Rolvenden, to a rather special motor museum.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21With some of the earliest examples of everything
0:19:21 > 0:19:23from goods vehicles, family cars,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25caravans and an array of motoring memorabilia,
0:19:25 > 0:19:29this museum is one of the best private collections of its kind in the country.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Hey, look at this!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Isn't this superb?!- Wow!
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- Hey-hey-hey! Look at these! - Isn't it lovely?
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Passionate petrolhead Chris Booth's 52-year love affair
0:19:42 > 0:19:45with everything automotive started when he was a child,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48initially collecting toy cars and pin badges.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52This is one here which I have, which happens to be a Morgan,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54which I had when I was four years old.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56So did this spark your interest in the...?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00I suppose it did. It was the three-wheelers, for something different.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03In 1960, Chris bought his first Morgan three-wheeler -
0:20:03 > 0:20:06the vehicle which brought motoring to the masses.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10This Morgan was the one I had in 1960.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14What a great car. Is this made in 1960 or is it older?
0:20:14 > 0:20:15It's 1934.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18The main reason I started with a three-wheeler
0:20:18 > 0:20:21was because you could drive it on a bike licence when you were 16.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25The stars of this collection have to be
0:20:25 > 0:20:29the 20 pristine Morgan three-wheelers,
0:20:29 > 0:20:30commonly known as the cycle car.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35And the man behind this motoring revolution was Henry Morgan.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37In 1910, he launched his motoring marvel,
0:20:37 > 0:20:41which quickly gained huge respect.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Soundly built and incredibly fast, it won hundreds of awards
0:20:43 > 0:20:49and smashed speed records in every class of motorsport.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Although the last Morgan three-wheeler left the factory
0:20:51 > 0:20:55in 1953, thanks to people like Chris, its legacy lives on.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58When I came to England in 1960, when I saw a three-wheeler,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I thought, "What's happening to England?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03"We're used to four-wheelers in Trinidad.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05"Suddenly, I'm faced with a three-wheeler!
0:21:05 > 0:21:07"Have they gone backward over here?"
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Is there a little fellow we could sit in?- Yes, you can, yes.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12James, I thought you'd never ask!
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Look at this fella!- Hey-hey!
0:21:16 > 0:21:19This model of classic 1920s Morgan was another champ.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Able to reach speeds of 70mph, it won more medals and trophies
0:21:24 > 0:21:27than any other comparable machine.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Turn the petrol on. Flood the carburettor,
0:21:30 > 0:21:31we turn on the battery,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34turn on the ignition switch, turn on the oil...
0:21:34 > 0:21:36OK, someone's going to have to write all this lot down!
0:21:36 > 0:21:38It's like a jet fighter, this!
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Ignition... A little bit of throttle, and press the starter.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Well, I tell you what, I'm not going to steer it,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52because I wouldn't want to come back!
0:21:54 > 0:21:58I'm going to get into this and take it all the way to Trinidad!
0:21:58 > 0:22:02It's all right, I'll give you the privilege. You sit...
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Bit of a squeeze, eh, James? Must have been that big breakfast.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- Oh... Oh! Oh! - And he's off.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13No, you don't - just tap the brake there. OK, that's as far as you go.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16All right, all right, all right, all right, all right!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Or he would be, given half a chance!
0:22:19 > 0:22:22That is fabulous. Thank you, Chris.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- Shall we get back to the Morris? - Can you walk properly? - No, you lead on, you lead on.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Charles and Pam are scampering to their last shop of the day,
0:22:32 > 0:22:3520 miles north to the charming town of Tenterden.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42When you, uh, first appeared in EastEnders,
0:22:42 > 0:22:47did you ever foresee the longevity of your quarter of a century?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I was an actor who always refused long runs.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I said "Oh, I don't want to tie myself down for a year!"
0:22:52 > 0:22:57But to develop a character and to play the breadth of scripts
0:22:57 > 0:23:01that I've been allowed to over that 25 and a half years,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05is something that you probably wouldn't get in an entire career.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09So far, Pam and Charles have bought precisely nothing.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Let's hope they find something here.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16- Lovely!- OK, Pamela. - Let's go and see what they've got.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19That magical thing might be there to be unearthed.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21For both your sakes, I do hope so!
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Hi, Terry. I'm Pam.- Hello.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25- Nice to meet you.- And you.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Let's hope you're going to do great things for us.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32Shop owner Terry Smith is primed and ready to assist.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36I think we probably want to go for the novelty, for the more peculiar.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Yes, I agree. Absolutely.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I've seen something very amusing.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42That's quite neat. Is it a little pillbox?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Is that a regent...? Oh, no. Viagra.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- I think that's the person who made it!- Yeah.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I mean, do you see many Viagra boxes?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- I wouldn't know.- No.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56That's quite a nice box, isn't it? Probably made in France, in Limoges.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Sometimes novelty sells, and, you know, maybe...you know,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01maybe the market's growing for Viagra pillboxes.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02- Who knows?- You know?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- I think it's delightful. - I like it.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- It would warm the auction room. - Yeah. Yeah. OK.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11It's a lovely shop, isn't it?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14An unexpected find, but, hey, they said they wanted novelty.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17However, they need more, and time is not on their side.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Time is ticking. Look at this.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23You know, Pamela...
0:24:23 > 0:24:27You know, you could have a picture of you and me, hey?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30A match made in heaven.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Actually, no, I tell you, that is a fabulous wedding present.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Because you can have a picture of the bride and groom.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Yeah. Look, could have your initials there, my initials there.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- I don't think your wife would be very happy about it.- No, no.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47But that is substantial, it's got a good gauge of silver
0:24:47 > 0:24:51and, OK, it's not antique, but it's of an intrinsic value
0:24:51 > 0:24:52because it's silver.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55And you know, I just think it's been a tough day today,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57and, you know, this could be our match.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Potentially the second item they're all agreed on. I'm thrilled!
0:25:01 > 0:25:05It's modern but if it was new, I don't think you could buy that for £300.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09This photo frame, I would guide at auction between 100 and 150,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12so we'd really want it for about 120.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Best we could do, 135. That's somewhere between your estimate.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19And I would probably want to buy it for about £110.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23115 and we have a deal - we'll shake on it.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Well, do you want to chuck in the little Viagra pot as well?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29For fun, yes. We'll put the Viagra pot in as well.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Cometh the hour... - Cometh the man!
0:25:32 > 0:25:35In the 90th minute, for £115,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I think we've bought our first two items!
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- It's been...- Relieved, relieved! - ..a day, hasn't it? A day and a half.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Terry, thanks ever so much.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Oh, no, no, no! No, wait!
0:25:45 > 0:25:46That's lovely.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49A Victorian... Look at the lovely acorn leaf handle.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Silver-plated meat dish.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53And the nice thing is also, look, there's a crest on there.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I think you'll find it's called a cloche, actually!
0:25:56 > 0:25:59It must be, what? 1860? 1870?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Something like that. It's certainly Victorian.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03What we could almost do is buy this
0:26:03 > 0:26:07and put it with the Viagra pot and say "Wife, look, look at this.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10"Voila!" Hey? What do you think?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- I love your foreplay! - Oh, Pam, you are awful!
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- What's the best price on this? - It should be £50.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18But seeing as you've bought the silver frame already,
0:26:18 > 0:26:19I'll do it for £40 for you.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- Shall we do it?- Yes.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Terry, you're a good man.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24There we go again, another handshake.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25- That's great.- Cheers.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Maybe good things do come in threes.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32This surprise last-minute find, a stunning Victorian silver-plated
0:26:32 > 0:26:35meat cover, brings their total spend for the day to £155.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41So get some rest, m'darlings,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44because tomorrow, you've all got some serious shopping to do!
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Night-night!
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Cue sunshine, cue Rolls Royce, cue our ever-eager roadtrippers,
0:26:52 > 0:26:56ready for another day of antique-shopping heaven.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Good morning, young man.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Oh, that is a compliment, "young man".
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Oh, I like the sound of that!
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- Pamela, you know, she's ever so keen to get it right.- Yeah.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08She's high on energy, and, James, I have to deliver.
0:27:08 > 0:27:14Charles has been saying to me you have to buy with your heart
0:27:14 > 0:27:16but you also have to, on top of it,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18make a judgement about whether it's of the moment.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21You know, what are people looking for?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Rudi was funny with the haggling. I could see he wanted to do it,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27and he totally changed, like an actor.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29He put on a very stern persona.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Let's have a smooth ride, please.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Sorry. THUDDING
0:27:35 > 0:27:36James...
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Yesterday very nearly ended in disaster for Pam and Charles
0:27:46 > 0:27:50as they couldn't find or agree on anything to buy.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I'm sorry about this, Pam, I'm not seeing it yet.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Until, of course, they struck gold!
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Well - silver, actually.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00They spent £155 on a twin silver frame,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03a silver-plated meat cover and a cheeky Viagra pot,
0:28:03 > 0:28:09leaving them £245 to pick up some more priceless props.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11We're all men of the world.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Meanwhile, the ever-ready Rudi and James
0:28:15 > 0:28:18strode their way through several scenes,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20picking up a weighty, lead-lined rosewood box
0:28:20 > 0:28:25and some sultry sketches for a modest £65.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28With a whopping £335 still to spend,
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Messrs Walker and Braxton have some serious business to do today.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35If you weren't here, I'd be ripping that man's hand off.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Well, rip it off.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40- Morning, team. - You look perfect in there.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42I feel absolutely right, it's my home.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44OK, bye. See you later.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- Have a lovely day.- Bye.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- It's completely dead, isn't it? - Yes.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54It's completely Popeyed.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56- I think we'll have to leave the car here, actually.- Yes.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- And we'll walk up. - Have you got Securicor on hand?
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Bye-bye, sweetheart, behave.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07The indignity! Imagine - having to walk!
0:29:07 > 0:29:11This morning, James and Rudi are headed to the last shop
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Pam and James went to yesterday - well, you never know,
0:29:14 > 0:29:16they might have missed something!
0:29:16 > 0:29:20- Rudi, this is my manor, so I know... - So you know it, all right. OK.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- Home territory.- Home territory.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- Morning, morning. This looks very promising.- This looks very nice.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Yeah, Pam and Charles dealt with Terry yesterday.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Today, his wife Pam is helping the boys.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34I bet Charles said this to you yesterday -
0:29:34 > 0:29:37have you got anything market fresh? Did he?
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- I don't know, my husband dealt with them yesterday.- All right.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- Shall we spend five, ten minutes looking round the shop?- Yeah.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- You shout out if anything grabs you. - All right.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51This is difficult.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54I just wouldn't know where to start as far as
0:29:55 > 0:29:59what the people going to auction, what they want to buy.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Come on, Rudi, haven't you learned anything?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05What's this? Walnut case.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07It's a metronome, so it keeps your time.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09OK.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12# Old man river
0:30:12 > 0:30:16# That old man river...
0:30:16 > 0:30:17All right.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Then you slide it up to go fast.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21# Pack up all my cares...
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Too slow!
0:30:25 > 0:30:28And here's good old Terry,
0:30:28 > 0:30:30who's produced something rather interesting for the boys.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Oh, look at that.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33Bought yesterday.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Bought yesterday. That is market fresh. What a lovely barometer.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39I think that's rather interesting.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42That's 1850 to 1870.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Yeah, so a trusty Victorian one.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Beneath that is a reservoir of mercury
0:30:47 > 0:30:49and these are ivory -
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- Vernier scales, they call these. - Ah, right, OK.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54And these are so accurate, aren't they?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Indeed they are, but it's worth bearing in mind
0:30:57 > 0:31:02that only ivory products which pre-date 1947 can be legally bought.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Thankfully, this one dates from a much earlier period.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11I think that's rather unusual. It's a nice bit of mahogany.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12How much?
0:31:12 > 0:31:14150 quid.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16- Rudi, I think we should buy that. - I think so too.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18150.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Er, can I have a word with your...
0:31:22 > 0:31:23- PAM:- That's the first I've seen!
0:31:23 > 0:31:25I know, I know...
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Can you go back inside, please? Let me have a chat with...
0:31:27 > 0:31:30I tell you, I tell you - watch this man.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Ladies tend to swoon, don't they?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Not, not, not Pam, I don't think!
0:31:37 > 0:31:39I think it's a lovely item and I think we should buy it.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41OK, you're the expert and I have to agree with you.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43I love this, really love this. Thank you.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- TERRY:- Saves me doing it up!
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Once again, James and Rudi are not leaving empty-handed
0:31:49 > 0:31:52and clearly not saving anything for a rainy day.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57They've paid the asking price of £150 for this stick barometer.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Let's hope it stays fair!
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Charles is yet to shine on this antiques drama
0:32:05 > 0:32:09and so he's brought the Queen of Soaps to the house once owned
0:32:09 > 0:32:13by the woman hailed as the Queen of the Stage, Dame Ellen Terry.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Maybe here he'll find his motivation!
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Look at that! Roses painted to order.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Is that 16th century?
0:32:23 > 0:32:26You're quite right. Henry VIII, early 1500s.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28You know, I'm impressed.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32I defy any building that's built modern to last this long.
0:32:33 > 0:32:38Smallhythe Place is a Tudor gem nestled in the Kent countryside
0:32:38 > 0:32:44and was bought by Dame Ellen in 1899 for the princely sum of £900,
0:32:44 > 0:32:48and was her home for the last 30 years of her life.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49It is now run by the National Trust.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- Good morning. May we come in? - You can indeed.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Paul, meet Pamela. - Hello, Paul. How do you do?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Welcome to Ellen Terry's residence.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- Lovely.- Fantastic.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04Tour guide Paul Meredith will help illuminate this captivating lady
0:33:04 > 0:33:06who really was the Liz Taylor of her day.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Hailing from a dynasty of actors,
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Ellen Terry began acting as a child in Shakespeare's plays,
0:33:12 > 0:33:15before going on to be regarded as the leading Shakespearean
0:33:15 > 0:33:19and comic actor in Britain, with a career spanning seven decades.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Though having had three husbands and two illegitimate children,
0:33:23 > 0:33:25her life was anything but conventional.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Was she a real beauty, Paul?
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Very, very beautiful and admired by men sort of throughout the country.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32Yeah.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36And, apparently, a lot of young men proposed to their brides by saying,
0:33:36 > 0:33:40"As Ellen Terry won't have me, will you marry me?"
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Really? Is it a lady you look up to, Pam?
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Oh, very much.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47How did she become such a name?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Well, strangely enough, she was one of the first to actually
0:33:50 > 0:33:52use the media quite a lot.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55We have a letter that she wrote to her third husband
0:33:55 > 0:33:58which says how she was chased down the platform of a railway station
0:33:58 > 0:34:01by the equivalent of the paparazzi of the day.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Rushed into the carriage and pulled the blind down
0:34:04 > 0:34:06to stop them pestering her at the time.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Isn't it interesting that that was the press of the day as well?
0:34:09 > 0:34:11'Twas ever thus.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Perhaps you would like to go upstairs now
0:34:13 > 0:34:16and have a look at one of Dame Ellen Terry's most famous costumes.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18- The original?- Indeed.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20- Ah. Heavens.- Can't wait. Can't wait.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21Wonderful.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26The pinnacle of her career, of course, was playing Lady Macbeth.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30The famous beetle-wing dress for Dame Ellen's performance
0:34:30 > 0:34:35as Lady Macbeth at the Lyceum theatre in London was made in 1888.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40This magnificent costume adorned with real beetle wings
0:34:40 > 0:34:42is now over 120 years old -
0:34:42 > 0:34:45and has recently undergone a painstaking reconstruction
0:34:45 > 0:34:49and restoration which took a whopping 1,300 hours to complete.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Yes. The beetle dress.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55And what's it made of, Paul?
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Well, there's a silk underskirt that's sort of dyed
0:34:58 > 0:35:03to the right colour and then there's a crocheted over-dress,
0:35:03 > 0:35:07and then on each corner of all the crocheted bits
0:35:07 > 0:35:08was sewn a beetle wing.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11That must be quite heavy.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12It's a heavy costume.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15It went with a cloak as well which was also quite heavy.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18That's a nightmare on stage, I have to say, to be...
0:35:18 > 0:35:21You know, to have a heavy costume.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24It's an added stress, if you like.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26This is the actual book that she used,
0:35:26 > 0:35:30the prompt copy of Macbeth which is fully annotated
0:35:30 > 0:35:35with all sorts of little scribbles on how she's going to play the part.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Look at this - "Slight break in voice."
0:35:37 > 0:35:42'Lady M, consider it not so deeply.'
0:35:44 > 0:35:47After Dame Ellen's death in 1928,
0:35:47 > 0:35:49everything passed to her daughter Edith,
0:35:49 > 0:35:53who turned one of the outbuildings into a theatre
0:35:53 > 0:35:56which, to this day, regularly hosts plays.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58And clearly, Pam just can't resist.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02But Charles, really, perhaps you should sit this one out.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- So am I acting as though you're my lover?- I'm your wife.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06Sorry, wife. That's it.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09So wife. OK, Mrs.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Hardly a packed house, but I'm sure Paul will give them
0:36:12 > 0:36:13his undivided attention.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- All right?- Got it, got it.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17How now? What news?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20He has almost supp'd. Why have you left the chamber?
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Hath he ask'd for me?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Know you not he has?
0:36:23 > 0:36:25I have given suck, and know how tender 'tis
0:36:25 > 0:36:29to love the babe that milks me, and would,
0:36:29 > 0:36:32while it was smiling in my face,
0:36:32 > 0:36:35have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums,
0:36:35 > 0:36:41and dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you have done to this.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Gosh. The raw emotion.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47It is so difficult to read that with all her notes.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50There's scribbles all over it. It's wonderful, look.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- If we should fail?- We fail?
0:36:54 > 0:37:01But screw your courage to the sticking place, and we'll not fail.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06PAUL CLAPS
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Thank you. Thank you very much.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Well, that was quite a performance!
0:37:11 > 0:37:14I think as productions go on the stage at Smallhythe,
0:37:14 > 0:37:17that's got to be one of the most unique I've ever seen.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Follow me.- Yes, please.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23Never leave me, Lady Macbeth, and I promise you, the future is ours.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26He really has the gift of the gab.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30I say - Charles had gone all method!
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Let's get this show back on the road!
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Our antiques tale is taking us 25 miles cross-country
0:37:37 > 0:37:41to the stunning spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45In its Georgian heyday, this was a booming tourist resort.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Visitors flocked here to take the waters -
0:37:47 > 0:37:49thought to have healing properties.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Much of the stunning architecture from that period remains,
0:37:53 > 0:37:57and within lie some fabulous antique shops.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Where are we going now? - Tunbridge Wells.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Royal Tunbridge Wells, please!
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Well, we are both royalists, aren't we?- We are.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Pam, cometh the man, cometh the hour, hey?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08You got the right man, I promise you.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Let's do it for Queen and country.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Let's go and find that missing,
0:38:15 > 0:38:18missing object that is waiting for you and I.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21On, on! You noblest English.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Thank you, Henry V.- Yes.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I say, that was rather rousing!
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Your famous role in Love Thy Neighbour...
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Wow, that's going back a bit.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38That started in 1970.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40After the first few episodes,
0:38:40 > 0:38:43we had a kind of inkling that this was something special.
0:38:43 > 0:38:48It was ground-breaking, it was a tremendous success.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51This is our dynamic duo's last chance
0:38:51 > 0:38:52to bag a bargain for the auction.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56And where better than at Ian Relf Antiques?
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Let's go!
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Oh, and there's the man himself!
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- Hi, how are you doing? - Not too bad. Rudolph Walker.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06I'm pleased to meet you.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09I recognise you straight away and I remember listening
0:39:09 > 0:39:12to your play on Radio 4 when you played Basil D'Oliveira, that was...
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Whoa. You're joking.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Most people, when they meet you, say "Oh, Love Thy Neighbour" or "EastEnders".
0:39:19 > 0:39:20You made my day.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23I hope you make my day now by spending some money!
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Ah, flattery, works every time. Now get shopping.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32What about your trombone there?
0:39:32 > 0:39:35I mean, will this appeal to someone
0:39:35 > 0:39:37who is collecting this sort of thing or is it for...
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Musical instruments are always sought after
0:39:40 > 0:39:43and especially of a certain manufacture.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Who's it made by?
0:39:45 > 0:39:46- Boosey &...- Boosey & Hawkes?
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Oh, fabulous, great maker.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52You can see I'm obviously a jazz musician
0:39:52 > 0:39:54by the way I'm approaching this!
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Oh, hello! Another one.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00That's another fiver knocked off.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Isn't it something like...
0:40:04 > 0:40:07HE PLAYS RASPILY
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Oh, no, James, please don't. Stick to the day job!
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Sweet music, sweet music.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14I mean, is that natural or is that...
0:40:14 > 0:40:18- We call those honourable scars. - Honourable scars.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20OK, OK, I have a few of those, yes.
0:40:20 > 0:40:26Somebody threw a glass at the man in Ronnie Scott's!
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- What could that be to us? - Let's see... Erm...
0:40:30 > 0:40:33how about 65?
0:40:33 > 0:40:39- 65. God, that seems good.- James, what's happened to haggling, then?
0:40:39 > 0:40:42It's a speculative thing, and it might play in our favour.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46- So about 60 would be all right for this.- Yeah, go on, we'll go to 60.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- 60. Well, I think we should do that. - OK.- Good work, Rudi.
0:40:51 > 0:40:56Sneaky little haggle there - managed to knock a fiver off. So £60 it is!
0:40:56 > 0:40:58- What are we looking at? - The cricket ball.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02And, you know, you do the off break and the leg break
0:41:02 > 0:41:06- and if they allow me to demonstrate it in front of the crowd...- Exactly.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09..it might make a few more pounds. You never know.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13Handled by Rudolph Walker, who also touched Gary Sobers' hand,
0:41:13 > 0:41:15who also touched Viv Richards!
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- That's a few extra quid, isn't it?- Yeah!
0:41:17 > 0:41:21I'll put that in with the trombone.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23You never know, even if it made one or two pounds, it's profit.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- True.- That's really kind.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Well, clearly bowled over by Mr Walker's charm,
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Ian has kindly thrown in the cricket ball for free.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- What a good sport!- Let's hit the road.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- OK. Bless you. Thanks a lot. - Thank you, Ian.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Here we are.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Ah, Aaron Antiques. Fingers crossed they have more luck in here.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Oh, I've knocked something over already.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50- That's a cockerel. He's still crowing.- Not thanks to you two!
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Pam, I'm feeling really pumped up now. I'm feeling really pumped up.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Really, Charles?!
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Probably just too much orange squash, old boy. It'll pass.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03Fortunately, it looks as if this little treasure trove may well have
0:42:03 > 0:42:04some unusual fruits to bear.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08- He's quite neat, isn't he? Quite like him?- No.- Look at him.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Eh? He's smiling at us, isn't he?
0:42:11 > 0:42:15And, you know, he's a bit flaky, but over the years we all get flaky.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19- Put him down, I want to have a look round.- Do you like him?- No.- No, OK.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Unless you two can agree. I can't see this ending well.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27Or, Pamela, do we go for a big statement piece, or, dare I say it,
0:42:27 > 0:42:32even a statesman, because up there is that great man, Disraeli.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36I think personally we stand more chance with your gnome
0:42:36 > 0:42:37than we do with Disraeli.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40I just don't think that the auction house we're going to
0:42:40 > 0:42:44- is going to actually have a Disraeli fan there.- No.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46That's an interesting observation.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49There's something else there I like the look of.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51It's a little watering can.
0:42:51 > 0:42:56That, I suspect, is Staffordshire 1890-ish
0:42:56 > 0:42:59and it's quite novel because it's in pot.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01It's a lead-glazed earthenware.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05It's hand tinted with this... Ah, look - bees and honey.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- It means money, maybe.- He knows what that means!- Bees and money.
0:43:08 > 0:43:13- I'm learning EastEnder rhymes, OK. - Bear that in mind.- Yeah, definitely.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Well, would you Adam and Eve it? After a little butcher's hook,
0:43:17 > 0:43:20they've finally found "summing" they both like.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23Just nip up them apples and pears
0:43:23 > 0:43:26and see what else you can bump and grind - find.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30- There's something else there I like the look of.- Oh, that's nice.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32That's a really, really nice clock, Pam.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36Shop owner Ronald Goodman is able and ready to assist.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39- Just come in, that one. - Just come in, has it?- Oh, right.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42Hong Kong retail. Is that right, do you think?
0:43:42 > 0:43:45Yeah, I think it's probably a French movement.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47- It's probably 1880s, I should think. - Made to order for...
0:43:47 > 0:43:51It could have been for a big maritime company, in Hong Kong.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53But you've got the anchor and the ship's wheel
0:43:53 > 0:43:55and you've got the cannons.
0:43:55 > 0:43:59Anyone who's interesting in maritime history would want to buy that.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02- How much?- I'm asking 220. It's a lovely thing.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05If you really want it, you can have it for 180.
0:44:07 > 0:44:11- We saw down below, sir, a nice watering can, didn't we?- Mm-hm.
0:44:11 > 0:44:16- Try... Try and sweet talk him. - What are you asking?
0:44:16 > 0:44:20Well, it's a rare object, I've never seen one quite like that before.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23It can be as little as £160.
0:44:23 > 0:44:29- I think that's way above us.- Yes. - We do do the brass model for £20.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32- Ah, well!- Yes.
0:44:32 > 0:44:36These two items together would take them to £340.
0:44:36 > 0:44:40But they've only got £245 left from their £400 budget.
0:44:40 > 0:44:44Some serious negotiations required here, or a radical re-think.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47What would be the best on the clock and the watering can?
0:44:47 > 0:44:50245 quid the two, and you've got a deal.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53That's got to be the deal of a lifetime.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56But is there one more thing we could put in our armoury
0:44:56 > 0:45:00to take on the might of James Braxton and Rudi?
0:45:00 > 0:45:04- What other item?- A little piece. - How about a magnifying glass?
0:45:04 > 0:45:07The magnifying glass is a 25-quid magnifying glass all day long.
0:45:07 > 0:45:11To give us a fighting chance, with your blessing, dealer, that at 15,
0:45:11 > 0:45:13the clock at 170,
0:45:13 > 0:45:18which takes us up to 185, and then the money left over,
0:45:18 > 0:45:2360 on the kettle, which comes to 245...
0:45:23 > 0:45:26I think, Pam, we have a deal.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29£245 in cash.
0:45:29 > 0:45:33- And that's it, our entire budget gone.- That's it.
0:45:33 > 0:45:36This is the way I like to see people leave the shop -
0:45:36 > 0:45:38with no money in their pocket.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40Well, it was a close call
0:45:40 > 0:45:44but Pam and Charles managed to pull it out of the bag and spend all their money!
0:45:44 > 0:45:47That flurry of haggling concludes the shopping expedition.
0:45:47 > 0:45:48Well played, everyone.
0:45:48 > 0:45:53But now, here in the rather splendid town of Tunbridge Wells,
0:45:53 > 0:45:57it's time to compare notes and reveal what they bought.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01- Ohhh!- That's interesting! - Interesting!
0:46:01 > 0:46:04Pick up the jewellery box, have a look at that.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06- OK. Is it heavy?- Oh, Lord above! What's in there?
0:46:06 > 0:46:09- That's heavy, isn't it? - That is incredibly heavy.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12Is it lead lined? < It's lead. How much did it cost you?
0:46:12 > 0:46:14< £40. Yeah, bargain.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17I would guide it between £70 and £100.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20Maritime interest, we're not far from the coast, I like it. The ball.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23Tell me, has it any pedigree? What's its provenance?
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Rudolph Walker's holding it.
0:46:26 > 0:46:31- We probably wouldn't get anything for this, but I'm sure we will.- Why?
0:46:31 > 0:46:35- I just saw these and I thought...it's unusual.- Yeah.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38Very Wallace Simpson, '30s.
0:46:38 > 0:46:42Oh, they're good. Framed, they would be worth individually a fair sum.
0:46:42 > 0:46:47- What are they worth as a collection? - I would say probably about 60.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49How much?
0:46:49 > 0:46:51- Go on, Rudi. - 20. - No!
0:46:51 > 0:46:55See, it's who you know, and this man knows all these people.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57He's on the ropes!
0:46:57 > 0:47:00- Well, we spent every last...- Every last penny, we went to the wire.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03Rudi, give me your initial impression.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06Look at that for an array of items! < What's this?
0:47:06 > 0:47:12Well, James, this was actually spotted by Pamela, she unearthed it.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14< Very good. It's our star buy
0:47:14 > 0:47:17because it was the most expensive but it has that maritime flavour.
0:47:17 > 0:47:21- Marble base. - I like the Hong Kong... Wow!
0:47:21 > 0:47:24It wasn't cheap, though. < 200?
0:47:24 > 0:47:27- Yeah, he's spot on, isn't he? But it cost us.- 170.- 170.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29Then, James, we felt we were a match made in heaven,
0:47:29 > 0:47:32so we bought a twin photo frame.
0:47:32 > 0:47:33Lovely.
0:47:33 > 0:47:37- Rudi, it's solid silver.- What?! - Absolutely solid.- SOLID silver.
0:47:37 > 0:47:42Rudi, we bought something just for you. You're a man.
0:47:42 > 0:47:43Very rare.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48Yeah, it's cheeky. >
0:47:48 > 0:47:51The sweetest little Limoges pill box.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54Rudi, we know you're young at heart, OK.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59I haven't blushed like this all day!
0:47:59 > 0:48:01I'm speechless.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06Here we come tomorrow, here we come tomorrow. Mwah!
0:48:06 > 0:48:09Now it's time to find out what they really thought
0:48:09 > 0:48:11about what each other bought.
0:48:11 > 0:48:15When the cloth came off their objects, I thought "Not a patch on ours."
0:48:15 > 0:48:17I have to tell you, I thought ours were classier.
0:48:17 > 0:48:21- We have got them on the ropes here! - Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24James seemed to find that box very interesting
0:48:24 > 0:48:27but I can't see who'll purchase it, to be honest with you.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30- Yeah, yeah.- They'll just think, "Why have they got a heavy box?"
0:48:30 > 0:48:34- To introduce the Viagra, that was kind of...- That was a low blow.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37It was, it was. Below the belt! Literally.
0:48:37 > 0:48:40I am quite nervous.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42They've bought an explosive lot
0:48:42 > 0:48:44which could be that folio of watercolours.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46To me, that was a real bargain.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49Between us, I think it's been a good two days.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51I think it's been a great two days. Thank you very much indeed.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54- Good luck.- It's been a pleasure. - Yeah.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58Time for the grand finale. The all-important auction lies
0:48:58 > 0:49:03an hour north in the market town of Rayleigh.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05It'll be daunting, it'll be epic,
0:49:05 > 0:49:07it'll be like a rollercoaster, James.
0:49:07 > 0:49:11I just hope that we don't make a vast loss
0:49:11 > 0:49:14- because that would be so embarrassing, it really would.- Yes.
0:49:14 > 0:49:19Their final scene is set in an auction house of suitable vintage!
0:49:19 > 0:49:22Stacey Auctions, purveyors of fine antiques and collectables
0:49:22 > 0:49:24since 1947.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27- Pull in here, boss.- In there? - Yeah, perfect.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30330, new bidder. 340.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33Auctioneer extraordinaire Paul Stacey
0:49:33 > 0:49:37has the inside scoop on what he thinks will perform well here.
0:49:37 > 0:49:41Without any question, the best lot is going to be the desk clock.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44Charles and Pam spotted a sleeper, and I think it'll make £200 or £300.
0:49:44 > 0:49:49Rudolph and James bought the trombone. I hope they haven't paid too much for it.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51- The Victorian meat dish... - Nice and shiny, isn't it?
0:49:51 > 0:49:56Generally, these go into auction and don't make much. I don't know why they bought it, quite frankly.
0:49:56 > 0:50:00The Viagra pot, what do you say about that?!
0:50:00 > 0:50:02It might make £10, it might make 100.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05This is going to be something that's quite different.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08Both teams started with £400 each.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Pam and Charles spent the lot
0:50:10 > 0:50:13and ended up with six shiny, pretty objects,
0:50:13 > 0:50:16now organised into six auction lots.
0:50:16 > 0:50:20- It's never over until that big lady sings, OK?- I know, I know.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25However, Rudi and James only spent £275,
0:50:25 > 0:50:28a real mixed bag across their five auction lots.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30I'm getting nervous, actually.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32Well, may the best man win.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35This is when we separate the men from the boys.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38- Well, I don't know... - HE CHUCKLES
0:50:38 > 0:50:39Ladies and gentlemen,
0:50:39 > 0:50:43take your seats! The auction is about to begin.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46Do well, but not too, OK?
0:50:46 > 0:50:50First up, it's Pam and Charles' silver twin picture frame.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Must start the bidding at £70.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54- The bid's here with me at £70. - Come on!
0:50:54 > 0:50:5870, 75, now 80 against you, 85.
0:50:58 > 0:51:0190, 95. 100 back with me on the commission.
0:51:01 > 0:51:02Last chances, please.
0:51:02 > 0:51:04At 100.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07Oh, no.
0:51:07 > 0:51:11Let's hope that loss doesn't put them out of the picture.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13I'm sorry, Pamela, I'm sorry. It's warming us up, warming us up.
0:51:14 > 0:51:18Rudi and James' lead-lined rosewood box,
0:51:18 > 0:51:21thought to be from a Victorian ship, is next to appear.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24Nervous?
0:51:24 > 0:51:26Let's start the bidding at £20 to start.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28- £20 straight in. - Hey, we've got a bid.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30£20 is bid, thank you, sir.
0:51:30 > 0:51:31Well, now. 20.
0:51:31 > 0:51:3422, 25, 28,
0:51:34 > 0:51:3630, 32, 35, 38,
0:51:36 > 0:51:3940, 42.
0:51:39 > 0:51:40Go on, sir.
0:51:40 > 0:51:4345, 45 I have on the internet, against you in the room.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46It's on the internet at £45. Are you all done?
0:51:46 > 0:51:49Selling to the internet for £45.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54That's taken the wind out of their sails!
0:51:55 > 0:51:59We come now, ladies and gentlemen, to the erotic interest.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02We have the Viagra pill box.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Come on!
0:52:04 > 0:52:08- £20 to start, £20 straight in. Are you bidding, sir?- Come on!
0:52:08 > 0:52:11No, no, sorry! No, no, I'm sorry.
0:52:11 > 0:52:12JAMES: He's a young man!
0:52:12 > 0:52:1622 now, 25, 28 on the internet.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19- Bit of stiff competition now! - LAUGHTER
0:52:19 > 0:52:21He just had to go there, didn't he?
0:52:21 > 0:52:24A bid of £38 now, £38. Are you all done?
0:52:24 > 0:52:26- This hammer is going down. - Yes!
0:52:26 > 0:52:28JAMES: Well done. CHARLES: Thank you very much.
0:52:28 > 0:52:31That's proved a valuable little lot,
0:52:31 > 0:52:34after their loss on the picture frame - every penny counts.
0:52:35 > 0:52:40Rudi's lovely ladies pose an interesting proposition next.
0:52:40 > 0:52:4330 is bid, 32, 35, 38.
0:52:43 > 0:52:4440 now, 42,
0:52:44 > 0:52:4745, 48 against you, 50 bid.
0:52:47 > 0:52:48Five, 60, five.
