0:00:02 > 0:00:05Some of the nation's favourite celebrities.

0:00:05 > 0:00:07What if we were to say 150 for the two? Then you've got yourself a deal.

0:00:07 > 0:00:11- One antiques expert each. - Rock it, Tom!

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Da, da, da, da, da, da, da!

0:00:13 > 0:00:14And one big challenge -

0:00:14 > 0:00:19who can seek out and buy the best antiques at the very best prices?

0:00:19 > 0:00:21I knew it wouldn't be easy!

0:00:21 > 0:00:26And auction for a big profit further down the road?

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Potential for disaster.

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 > 0:00:49Yeah!

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Getting to the bottom of things on this big antiques case,

0:00:53 > 0:00:57we have two of the sexiest lab geeks going.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02Co-stars in one of Britain's best crime dramas, Silent Witness,

0:01:02 > 0:01:05it's Emilia Fox and Tom Ward.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07My plan is to push you out of the way.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09I have no idea what makes... I wouldn't know an antique

0:01:09 > 0:01:11if it leapt up and slapped me in the face.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Well, it's definitely not going to do that.

0:01:13 > 0:01:18It might do. It might be one of those novelty jack-in-the-boxes.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20MUSIC :"Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder

0:01:20 > 0:01:25Hailing from a dynasty of thespians, Emilia is an award-winning actress

0:01:25 > 0:01:30best known for her role as Dr Nikki Alexander in Silent Witness.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Nothing gets past this smart cookie.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Hey!

0:01:36 > 0:01:39From English rose, meek and mild,

0:01:39 > 0:01:41to scary sorceress, incredibly wild.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Emilia has been dazzling audiences

0:01:43 > 0:01:47with striking performances and stunning looks for years.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Just how does she do it?

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Oh, that's my little secret!

0:01:52 > 0:01:56It panics me that you're going to be looking on the bottom of jugs,

0:01:56 > 0:02:00and going, "Oh, yes, that's...Diddlee-Diddleywood",

0:02:00 > 0:02:02whereas I will literally find something that I like,

0:02:02 > 0:02:04which will be worthless.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07It's clever of you to remember that I like looking at jugs, but...

0:02:08 > 0:02:11The task of out-foxing Emilia goes to a man

0:02:11 > 0:02:13who does tall, dark and handsome very well.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Tom Ward has cut a dash in more period pieces

0:02:16 > 0:02:18than you can shake a costume at.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20You're absolutely right.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22With a nose for trouble and an eye for detail,

0:02:22 > 0:02:26Tom has played Dr Harry Cunningham, a forensic pathologist,

0:02:26 > 0:02:28in crime drama Silent Witness for the last ten years

0:02:28 > 0:02:30opposite our Emilia.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35You've got blood on your hair.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39Emilia and Tom might know each other inside out,

0:02:39 > 0:02:43but in this challenge, there can be only one hero.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Let battle commence!

0:02:45 > 0:02:48I will try and be very, very clever

0:02:48 > 0:02:52about some sort of naval, lunar, map-reading instrument!

0:02:52 > 0:02:55And I'll pay 200 quid for it and it will turn out to have been

0:02:55 > 0:02:59mass made in Hull by a bloke called Fred.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02And they're racing to the scene of the challenge

0:03:02 > 0:03:05in a rather cool 1981 Mercedes SL.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09If you're an antique expert, does that mean you're very, very old?

0:03:09 > 0:03:12It's not an expert who is themselves an antique, if that's what you mean.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14- Exactly.- And from one classy pair to another.

0:03:14 > 0:03:19Trundling along in this charismatic Citroen 2CV - ha! -

0:03:19 > 0:03:24we've got two of the finest antiques experts who were available.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27It's Charlie Ross and James Braxton.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29I don't think I'm in first!

0:03:29 > 0:03:31GEARS CRUNCH Ooh, I am now, that's better!

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Oh, this is the cutting edge, Bingo!

0:03:36 > 0:03:41Charlie is an auctioneer and antiques expert of worldwide repute.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45He even once raised 33 million in one day at a motor auction in LA.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47- So, 50 plus 30...- Yes.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50..equals 70, yeah?

0:03:50 > 0:03:53He's good with numbers, our Charlie, and oh so suave.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55I see you've got your best beige on.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58I'm in understated beige.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04This man's parents persisted in taking him around stately homes

0:04:04 > 0:04:07as a child to gawk at antiques, and now look at him.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Now you can see, I'm obviously a jazz musician

0:04:10 > 0:04:13by the way I'm approaching this.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17With 25 years in the antiques business, he knows a good thing

0:04:17 > 0:04:20when he sees it, our James,

0:04:20 > 0:04:22or, as Charlie likes to call him, "Bingo".

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Oh, Bingo, you've put on the old three piece suit today, haven't you?

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- I have.- Just especially. Do you think Emilia's going

0:04:29 > 0:04:32- to be turned on by your three piece wear?- I don't know, it's a risk.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35She might like the charming, debonair thing,

0:04:35 > 0:04:39the tanned... This is a man resting from his yacht.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43This Celebrity Antiques Road Trip kicks off in the historic city

0:04:43 > 0:04:47of Glasgow, covering the city from east to west

0:04:47 > 0:04:50before scampering towards home turf 450 miles south

0:04:50 > 0:04:54for an auction showdown in Billingshurst, West Sussex.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01With its hustle and bustle

0:05:01 > 0:05:04and a history as rich in culture as it is in crime - ha! -

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Glasgow is the perfect playground for this plucky pair.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10You are so competitive about everything.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13I am not! You are quietly very competitive.

0:05:13 > 0:05:14You're slightly like the Terminator.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17I think a bit of your face is going to fall off.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21Well, if a bit of my face falls off, then auction it.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22Well, I want to win.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Emilia and Tom have £400 each,

0:05:28 > 0:05:31two days to forensically forage for antiques

0:05:31 > 0:05:35and one crucial auction to see who can turn the biggest profit.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Let battle commence.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41What are you doing? You're not putting a jacket on?

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Best tucker on, best tucker! Best tucker.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47You old tart! See you later!

0:05:51 > 0:05:53- A-ha! Tom?- Hello, Tom, yes.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Charlie.- Hello, Charlie. - Emilia.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Emilia. Oh! Emilia! We were actually going to have a boxing fight.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01We were going to have a fight.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Over you, Tom.- I knew that was going to happen! Didn't I say that?

0:06:04 > 0:06:07- As senior member, I have made a decision here.- Have you?

0:06:07 > 0:06:11If Emilia can put up with you, and it'll be hard, Emilia,

0:06:11 > 0:06:14I'm going to join you two for the next two days.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15- That's really nice of you. - Fantastic.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Happy with that? Bingo knows everything about nothing.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Well, I know everything about everything, Charlie, so come and...

0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Go on, Emilia. - Treat him gently!

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Both teams are kicking off their antiques buying here,

0:06:27 > 0:06:30at Glasgow Antiques and Collectibles Market

0:06:30 > 0:06:32housed in the world famous Barras market.

0:06:32 > 0:06:37The Barrowlands, affectionately dubbed the Barras,

0:06:37 > 0:06:40sprang into being in the early 1920s.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Today, it houses in excess of 300 traders

0:06:42 > 0:06:46and has become an intrinsic part of Glasgow life.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Tom, why don't you have a good look round on your own?

0:06:49 > 0:06:52- All right.- So that we're not influencing one another.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55- And if you see something... - I'll summon you.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Yeah.- Do you like that, or does it leave you cold?

0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Personally, it leaves me cold. - Right.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03- But how much is it?- Coffee tables. He's wanting £300 for it.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Forget it.- So keep looking, we need that rare treat.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Call me if you need any help. - Will do, will do.

0:07:09 > 0:07:10Any expert help.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14It's very, very hard.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18I don't know, I feel slightly kind of lost.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Oh look at that, what's that little brooch thing... No.

0:07:21 > 0:07:27I slightly feel like I'm sort of taking stuff back

0:07:27 > 0:07:31to the headmaster and getting approval or not.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Tom? - You talking to me?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Large lumps of furniture I know absolutely nothing about.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39No. I think large lumps of big furniture, not good news.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Interesting post-box? - I suspect that is...- Fake.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Great fun, but it's fake. Well spotted.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Rather like us, great fun but fake.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50You speak for yourself!

0:07:50 > 0:07:55After that fake start, the boys have tuned into something rather natty.

0:07:55 > 0:07:56RADIO STATIC

0:07:56 > 0:07:57Dealer Ros is keen to help.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59It's walnut, it's English.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02If it didn't have the radio in it,

0:08:02 > 0:08:05it would be unsaleable as a piece of furniture.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09But of course, old radios have become hugely collectable.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Is Radio Luxembourg marked on there?

0:08:11 > 0:08:15I don't think it is, actually. We've got Kalund, Oslo, Reykjavik...

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Come on Tom, fire it up. Yeah.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20INDISTINCT ROCK'N'ROLL MUSIC

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Rock it, Tom!

0:08:22 > 0:08:24OK, sorry, that's enough.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26- I think we've all seen enough of that, don't you?- I do!

0:08:26 > 0:08:29There was a bit of interference, but is that where it is, or...?

0:08:29 > 0:08:31- It's because it's in here.- Right.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33I've had it outside and it's a brilliant sound.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Never known a saleswoman like her.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- I know, she's got it all covered, hasn't she?- Absolutely fantastic.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- You'll be telling me you made the damn thing next!- No, no, no,

0:08:41 > 0:08:43- I'm not as old as Marconi yet! - Oh no!- It's my birthday today.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- It's your birthday today? - It's your birthday?- Today.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Goodness me, happy birthday. - Thank you.- Happy birthday.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50You'll be feeling very generous.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Yes.- Your birthday present to us

0:08:52 > 0:08:54could be to give us the Marconi radio.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- How much is it, darling? - How would 90 suit you?

0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Ooh.- 90, that sounds...

0:09:00 > 0:09:02And I'll throw in the dog.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05I would almost rather you didn't throw in the dog.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Don't foist that dog off!- But if the dog was thrown in,

0:09:07 > 0:09:10- somebody might bid 10 or 20 quid for a laugh.- Absolutely.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12He's working his magic, isn't he?

0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Could we reserve it? OK. - Worthless.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Have you spent any money yet, Emilia?

0:09:17 > 0:09:19I might, I might not!

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Ooh, cagey.- I told you, didn't I? I told you she'd be competitive.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24So you're going for furnishings, are you?

0:09:24 > 0:09:27I'm not going to tell you what we're going for!

0:09:27 > 0:09:30You're going to start getting all, you know...

0:09:30 > 0:09:33The battle to be top dog has well and truly begun.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Don't panic about the opposition.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39- Focus on the goods, not our competitors.- Really?

0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Yeah, because it distracts you. - But that's half the fun of it!

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- It distracts you. - I love this painting here.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47So what do you like about that?

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Well, that's something that I would have in my house.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Well, it's an acid test, isn't it?

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Oh, no! Oh, my God!

0:09:56 > 0:10:00Sorry! So 1912. The frame looks totally contemporary.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03It's on canvas, it's cracking a bit there.

0:10:03 > 0:10:04Would you have that in your house?

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Well, not any more because I've just seen what would happen.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09- The picture would fall out of it! - No, we can secure it,

0:10:09 > 0:10:12don't worry about that. But it's all fine.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Just very nicely complex build it up, isn't it?

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Held together with sticking plaster.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20£80 is too much, but this is where you come in, Emilia.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24This is where you flutter your eyelids and all that sort of thing.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26I don't think that that's going to work.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Of course it is! Of course it is! - You have so much faith in me.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33A devilish plan there, James, but it might just work.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37Meanwhile, Charlie has come over all glassy-eyed.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Very saleable objects, little perfume bottles.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Right, little knick-knacks.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Ink wells, there's a little tidy there.- OK.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48That's got a hallmark and the lion passant means it's silver.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50OK.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Good thing about that is that it has a cut-glass base,

0:10:52 > 0:10:56which you have to check very carefully, to make sure

0:10:56 > 0:10:59it's not chipped or damaged which it doesn't appear to be.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01- That's an impressive...- Chunky.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05- Very heavy cut-glass.- Nice to have in hand.- That's an inkwell.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07That's an inkwell, is it?

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Wouldn't that look wonderful if you put blue ink in there?

0:11:09 > 0:11:14Dealer Vincenzo is on hand to help.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Vincenzo, are you a man that can be insulted

0:11:17 > 0:11:19or you wouldn't be insulted by an offer?

0:11:19 > 0:11:24From you, I would never be insulted, I can always say no.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27We're not very keen on the elephants but we quite like all the jars,

0:11:27 > 0:11:30but I was wondering as a sort of job lot for the lot,

0:11:30 > 0:11:35I would like to pay £100.

0:11:35 > 0:11:40No, £100 is no. No, I can't do it.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Ten, I'm doing my best.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Yes, try your best.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49A hundred... ten.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Give me 120 and I'll give it as a job lot.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56Tom, I think it's a good thing to do and I think we'll stand

0:11:56 > 0:11:58a good chance of making some reasonable profit. 120?

0:11:58 > 0:12:01- 120.- It's a deal. Thanks very much. - Thank you.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03The first deal of the day.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06£120 for the job lot of cut-glass jars.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Smashing!

0:12:08 > 0:12:12James and Emilia have spotted something rather unusual.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Look at these great carpet bags! - I know! Aren't they gorgeous?

0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Aren't they gorgeous? - Wouldn't someone want that?

0:12:18 > 0:12:21A set of Bedouin carpet bags.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Bedouin, of course, meaning people of the desert.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27Traditionally, these would have been used to carry and store

0:12:27 > 0:12:29a tribe's worldly possessions.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33Feel the way underneath, it's just a block of foam.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37But you could still have that in your house as something to sit on.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40You could, couldn't you? They are fun, aren't they?

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Aren't they? I'd buy these from auction.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46And you know, either side of a sofa or whatever they really are lovely.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Well, let's see how much we can get them for.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50We'll have to ask about those ones.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Genuine Bedouin, that's the spirit, Emilia.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56How much are these things here? Cos I really love them.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59£100, 120.

0:12:59 > 0:13:00100 and 120?

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Aye.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- That's expensive.- You could use it. - Yeah.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09It's a mighty big old carpet bag but I think it's quite expensive.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12It's very expensive, are we going to look in other rooms first?

0:13:12 > 0:13:15- I can give it you for £125. - For the pair?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17- For the pair.- For the pair.

0:13:17 > 0:13:22And I'll say more, cos I'll give you the cushion as a present.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27Oh, my God, Vincenzo.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29Thank you.

0:13:29 > 0:13:35I think it's the furnishings of a Bedouin tent in one lot, isn't it?

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Really, really love these.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39If you like them, somebody else will like them.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42If I like them then I'll then be buying them in the auction as well.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45- No, you're precluded. - Oh, right.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48But I don't do delivery, eh?

0:13:48 > 0:13:52No, no delivery needed. Anyway, we're going for it.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Thank you.- Thank you so much! - So you got a deal.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Thank you very much.

0:13:57 > 0:14:02I need you to change it to two tens. I haven't got a ten.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05I've only got twenties and fives, so I'll need to change it to two.

0:14:05 > 0:14:09- I haven't got a ten. - So buy something else.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13I knew it wouldn't be easy.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16I know what, what if we put another £20 in

0:14:16 > 0:14:18and we got the picture as well?

0:14:18 > 0:14:23OK, let's deal. I do it just for you and never again.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25- Just for you.- Just for her. - Vincenzo!

0:14:25 > 0:14:30- I need another hug now.- Wow!

0:14:30 > 0:14:35Now, you'll carry change from now on, won't you? Go on!

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Thank you, thank you, James.

0:14:38 > 0:14:42So after that hug fest, Emilia and James managed to buy

0:14:42 > 0:14:45the oil painting and the Bedouin carpet bags

0:14:45 > 0:14:50with complimentary cushions, for the bargain price of £160.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Happy?

0:14:52 > 0:14:55- Now, what about the radio? - I love it.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57I'm going to hide, but I think it's got to be, Tom,

0:14:57 > 0:15:00between you and me, Tom, somewhere around the nifty fifty,

0:15:00 > 0:15:04- if we were going to buy and I'd be right behind you.- OK.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08Tom's hoping that Ros will be on his wave length here. Ha!

0:15:08 > 0:15:11- I want to talk to you about general matters.- Yes, OK.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15And we may accidentally find ourselves quite near this radio.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18I think it's really fun, this radio. It's kind of quite niche.

0:15:18 > 0:15:22I'm under instructions to make you a risible offer of 50 pounds.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26If you stretch it to 60...?

0:15:26 > 0:15:2855?

0:15:28 > 0:15:31- OK, you've got a deal.- 55? With the dog?- You can have the dog.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Oh, bless you!

0:15:33 > 0:15:35- OK?- Thank you so much!

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Well, they both got what they wanted.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40Tom his radio, and Ros her birthday kiss.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44And the dog, well, he's just a bonus.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47I think we should look out for some female shopkeepers.

0:15:47 > 0:15:52I think he stands a really good chance with buying off the ladies.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56Whereas I've gone past that stage, I think.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59Vincenzo has heard that Tom bought the radio

0:15:59 > 0:16:00and wants to be in on the action.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04I just heard that you bought the radio. Can I buy it from you?

0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Buy the radio?- Yes, I'll offer you 75 pounds.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10- Sounds good.- What did it cost?

0:16:10 > 0:16:12- 55.- That's 20 pounds' profit.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Before we've even moved five foot from it.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19You're a natural dealer! I don't know what you're doing acting.

0:16:21 > 0:16:26May I suggest that we simply say yes, you can have the radio,

0:16:26 > 0:16:28but take 75 pounds off the silver.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Simple as that. You happy with that?

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Yeah, happy with that.

0:16:31 > 0:16:36So instead of £120, we get the silver for £45 and he gets the radio.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38- But I don't want the dogs. - You don't want the dog?

0:16:38 > 0:16:40He doesn't want the dog.

0:16:40 > 0:16:41- We've got a free dog.- A free dog.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45Yes you get the woofer for free, but Charlie, your maths!

0:16:45 > 0:16:47This new deal means you've paid £100 for the glass jars,

0:16:47 > 0:16:49just to let you know, mate.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52While you've been away, I've added up the individual prices on those bits of silver.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55Do you think we're going to do all right?

0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Well, they come to £350, so that's two...- Really?- Yeah.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01You really are an old shark, aren't you?

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Glasgow's west end is home

0:17:03 > 0:17:06to the famous Kelvingrove Art Gallery

0:17:06 > 0:17:08and the city's historic university.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12It also holds a few antique shops bursting with treasures and curios,

0:17:12 > 0:17:15and that's where Emilia and James are headed next.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Did you act at school?

0:17:19 > 0:17:21I did a little bit of acting at school.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25I'd been a disastrous waitress and failed in every establishment.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28And the director of the BBC's Pride and Prejudice

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- was looking for someone that could play the piano.- Yeah.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34And he remembered that I could play the piano.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Well, I think, totally, what a lovely thing

0:17:36 > 0:17:39in the spirit of Jane Austen,

0:17:39 > 0:17:43that you should get your part because of an accomplishment.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46She would be very pleased with that, wouldn't she?

0:17:46 > 0:17:47So we've done quite well.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49I think we've got the budget for silver.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51I think we should buy something silver.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55- So are we talking jewellery, or are we talking...?- Well, let's see.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57This hidden gem is called Relics.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01Wow! Now this is my sort of shop.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07- I mean, I think this is just going to be fun things, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:18:11 > 0:18:12What about this...?

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Footy.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16I think that might appeal to someone.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19And assisting them with their enquiries

0:18:19 > 0:18:21is proprietor Steven Currie.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23- So is it a complete set? - Pretty much.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26It's about 40 years old and it's in pretty good order.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28How do you like my find?

0:18:28 > 0:18:30- I like your find.- Do you? Really?

0:18:30 > 0:18:33- I do. I think it's got a lot going for it.- Really?

0:18:33 > 0:18:37You're not just agreeing with her, are you, James, just to be sweet?

0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Can I ask you about a few things?- Yes.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43This one, and also, I really love

0:18:43 > 0:18:47the ABC television bus and London Transport.

0:18:47 > 0:18:48I love those.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52That's a great one, isn't it? Has it got all four wheels?

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Well, let's start with basics.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Yep.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59It's not exactly mint and boxed, is it?

0:18:59 > 0:19:01But it's a Dinky Supertoy.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03It's not bad for its age, I would say. Pretty clean,

0:19:03 > 0:19:06- the transfers are clean, the paint's not bad.- It's not bad, is it?

0:19:06 > 0:19:09- How old is it?- Probably late '50s, I would think.- Yes.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13- I mean, what would be great is to have a little collection, I think, of fun things.- Fun things.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15It's quite expensive.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19- I'll let you negotiate with Steven. - We might have to ask you to help. - He looks like a ladies' man.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23- The Subbuteo can be 20, with 25 on the ABC.- Yep.

0:19:23 > 0:19:2648 would be the best on the Triang Minic bus.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29I'd like to buy the whole lot for 50.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32That's what my dream price would be.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36I'd buy the whole lot for 50!

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Sorry, I really can't do it.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40You're meant to be saying,

0:19:40 > 0:19:44"Yes, of course - 50. For you, I'll do it for 40"!

0:19:44 > 0:19:47Your charms don't seem to be working with our Steven -

0:19:47 > 0:19:49quick, give him a hug!

0:19:49 > 0:19:51So those two together would be...

0:19:51 > 0:19:56- 45.- 45. Steven, please may I buy both these for £40?

0:19:56 > 0:19:58- 42.- 42?

0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Yes.- 42.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01- We'll do a deal.- Thank you.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05Well, you've got to give her her points for trying!

0:20:05 > 0:20:06I just hope that the Subbuteo set

0:20:06 > 0:20:09doesn't end up being a bit of an own goal.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Let me put up this very attractive umbrella.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14Well, I like...you keep it for yourself. I've got my...

0:20:14 > 0:20:15- No, no.- Because I've got my hat.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Are you saying you don't want to come under my umbrella? - No, I'd love to.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21THEY LAUGH

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Did you enjoy your first buying experience?

0:20:25 > 0:20:29Well, it was fascinating watching you at work.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32The proof of the pudding, though, Tom, is in the eating. I know.

0:20:32 > 0:20:36- Well, I shall shatter that dog over your head if it's not... - CHARLIE LAUGHS

0:20:36 > 0:20:39My wife will tell you that I am terrible at haggling,

0:20:39 > 0:20:42- pathetic English politeness, you know?- No, no.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44I've learnt to over the years.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46I think if I was actually a dealer for a living,

0:20:46 > 0:20:48I'd have gone bankrupt years ago.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51What do you think of it so far?!

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Just in case Tom does pick up any mercenary habits along the way,

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Charlie is bringing him somewhere

0:20:58 > 0:21:01which should help keep him on the straight and narrow.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05As the first city in the UK to have its own police force,

0:21:05 > 0:21:10Glasgow prides itself on its long law and order history.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Right, best behaviour, I think, here.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16Today, Tom and Charles have come to meet a retired police officer,

0:21:16 > 0:21:21Alastair Dinsmor, a volunteer here at the Police Museum.

0:21:21 > 0:21:22- Hi. Tom Wa...- I'm Alastair Dinsmor.

0:21:22 > 0:21:23Tom Ward. How'd you do?

0:21:23 > 0:21:25- Tom Ward? And..?- Charlie Ross.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Charlie Ross. Would you like to come in?

0:21:27 > 0:21:28- Love to!- Thank you very much.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32Alongside preserving the museum's vast collection,

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Alastair has been avidly amassing artefacts

0:21:34 > 0:21:39from forces worldwide since the 1960s.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41We had policing from 1779,

0:21:41 > 0:21:43- 29 years before Robert Peel's police in London.- Ah!

0:21:43 > 0:21:49Because the American Revolution robbed Glasgow of its tobacco trade.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51So why do we hear about Robert Peel all the time?

0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Well, they've just got a good publicity department...- Right.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58- down in the Met, and...- And a good nickname - the Peelers.- Yeah, yeah.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01The reason Glasgow formed the first police force

0:22:01 > 0:22:04was to tackle the city's increasing crime rate.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Unemployment in the city had risen sharply when Glasgow's

0:22:07 > 0:22:11tobacco merchants lost control of the export

0:22:11 > 0:22:14and redistribution of the amber leaf,

0:22:14 > 0:22:18following America's Declaration of Independence in 1776.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22The city's magistrates,

0:22:22 > 0:22:25who had historically dealt with crime, were overwhelmed,

0:22:25 > 0:22:31and so in 1779, Glasgow formed the first police force in the UK.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35Early criminals that were caught by that initial police force

0:22:35 > 0:22:37- were condemned to death? - Well, some of them.- Yeah.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40There was about 40 crimes that you could be hung for.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43We have an extract from a newspaper of 1824,

0:22:43 > 0:22:46and it was two 18-year-olds being hung at Glasgow Cross

0:22:46 > 0:22:48for persistent housebreaking,

0:22:48 > 0:22:51and it was only later that the list was reduced greatly...

0:22:51 > 0:22:54- Yeah.- ..and... through the government.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57Since retiring, Alastair has been devoting his time

0:22:57 > 0:23:00to maintaining the museum's vast collection.

0:23:00 > 0:23:05There are over 2,000 artefacts here, each one with its own story.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Whilst Tom might have played a few heroes,

0:23:10 > 0:23:13Alastair has something earned by a real life one.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16- This is Britain's first police bravery medal.- Right.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19- It's a substantial item, isn't it?! - Gold medal, isn't it?

0:23:19 > 0:23:22It's silver, it's beautifully made.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25I love that sort of two truncheons rampant!

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Constable John Kerr was checking property

0:23:27 > 0:23:31in the Trongate in Glasgow here, and he went down Old Wynd,

0:23:31 > 0:23:34and this was on the 23rd of November, 1871,

0:23:34 > 0:23:37about quarter to five in the morning.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39He saw a large crack in one of the buildings

0:23:39 > 0:23:41and realised, being an ex-fireman,

0:23:41 > 0:23:44that it was in a dangerous situation,

0:23:44 > 0:23:46so he ran up the stairs and rescued 68 people

0:23:46 > 0:23:48from the three-storey building.

0:23:48 > 0:23:53And he got them out into the street and he went back in to check it,

0:23:53 > 0:23:55- and as he was leaving, the building collapsed.- Wow!

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Fortunately, he was uninjured.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00So the city gave him this medal, and the back of it has

0:24:00 > 0:24:05a beautiful inscription that outlines what he did.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Beautifully told, in detail.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11For Tom, this place is like a giant dressing-up box.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Are these yours?

0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Yes, the... I started in 1966... - Wow!

0:24:15 > 0:24:19..when I was a police cadet, and it's sort of got out of hand!

0:24:19 > 0:24:20It has!

0:24:20 > 0:24:24I'm...I'm thinking of taking it up seriously!

0:24:24 > 0:24:25How many have you got?

0:24:25 > 0:24:28I have 200 uniforms.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30200 uniforms. From how many different countries?

0:24:30 > 0:24:34Er...from about... 92 different countries.

0:24:34 > 0:24:39Which country in the world has the most flamboyant police uniform?

0:24:39 > 0:24:42I would say that the ceremonial uniform of the Italian Carabinieri

0:24:42 > 0:24:44takes a lot of beating.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46- Which was the hardest one to get hold of?- I would say

0:24:46 > 0:24:48the cap from North Korea was...

0:24:48 > 0:24:50- Yes, I can see how that...- Yes.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Now, Alastair, this fez, how did that appear in your collection?

0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Just like that!- No!

0:24:56 > 0:24:57THEY LAUGH

0:24:57 > 0:25:00And that joke, absolutely criminal!

0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Thank you so much for showing us round.- My pleasure, Charlie.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Could have talked to you all day. Absolutely fascinating.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09So, a respectable first foray into antiques finding.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13But there is still much work to be done.

0:25:13 > 0:25:14Go and recharge, m'dears,

0:25:14 > 0:25:19for tomorrow, the case of unearthing more treasures continues.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Nighty-night.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27It's a brand new day, and our bright young things and experts - ha! -

0:25:27 > 0:25:29are champing at the bit to be reunited

0:25:29 > 0:25:31for more feverish antiques finding.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35I think we were so lucky to get James and Charlie, weren't we?

0:25:35 > 0:25:37I think we've been very, very lucky,

0:25:37 > 0:25:38cos they're both extremely nice

0:25:38 > 0:25:41and extremely funny and extremely expert.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44I should think Emilia's probably quite a good negotiator.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46She is good, and she's got the eyes for it.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Oh, I bet she just flutters the eyelids

0:25:48 > 0:25:51and the price falls like a stone!

0:25:51 > 0:25:54And the other thing that I noticed about them

0:25:54 > 0:25:57is that they're not competitive with each other at all about it.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00Have you not seen the little wax dolls they've got of each other,

0:26:00 > 0:26:01with pins in them, no?

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Tom is a complete delight.

0:26:03 > 0:26:08The man showed considerable nous and dealing ability on his first day.

0:26:08 > 0:26:09Marvellous.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Actually, can I auction you?

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Er...

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Now that is how I could make some money!

0:26:16 > 0:26:18We're not doing a slave auction here, Emilia,

0:26:18 > 0:26:20although you might have a point!

0:26:23 > 0:26:27Yesterday, our beautiful starlets flirted,

0:26:27 > 0:26:30foisted, and fluttered their eyelashes

0:26:30 > 0:26:32into the hearts of dealers in this,

0:26:32 > 0:26:35the most friendly city in Scotland.

0:26:35 > 0:26:36It's Glasgow, by the way!

0:26:36 > 0:26:41Emilia and James spent £202 and got something for everyone -

0:26:41 > 0:26:44a framed oil painting of a rural scene,

0:26:44 > 0:26:48a pair of Bedouin tribal bags with complimentary cushions,

0:26:48 > 0:26:51a 1970s Subbuteo football game set,

0:26:51 > 0:26:55and a Dinky ABC Television scanner truck,

0:26:55 > 0:26:58leaving them with £198 to spend today.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01God, Vincenzo!

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Lucky chap!

0:27:03 > 0:27:06Personally, I can't wait to see what they buy.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09Meanwhile, best buddies Tom and Charlie

0:27:09 > 0:27:12embarked on something of a shaggy dog story.

0:27:12 > 0:27:13Rock it, Tom!

0:27:13 > 0:27:17Tom fell in love with a vintage radio,

0:27:17 > 0:27:21only to have birthday girl Ros throw in a classy canine effigy.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24Charlie haggled his heart out with Vincenzo

0:27:24 > 0:27:26to get the contents of a glass cabinet.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28I just heard that you bought the radio.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32Then Vincenzo wanted the radio, so Tom struck a deal,

0:27:32 > 0:27:35meaning they got all the glassware for £100.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37You're a natural dealer!

0:27:37 > 0:27:41- Cor! The dog was still free... - Mwah!

0:27:41 > 0:27:45..and Ros got a birthday kiss, leaving them £300 to spend today.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Now, everyone is headed 15 miles west of Glasgow,

0:27:49 > 0:27:52to the charming village of Kilbarchan,

0:27:52 > 0:27:57which has been designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Gardner's Antique Centre here in Kilbarchan

0:28:00 > 0:28:04is rammed with rarities for our investigation teams to uncover.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Good morning!

0:28:06 > 0:28:09- Yeah!- So, it's like Christmas, waking up

0:28:09 > 0:28:11- to start again!- How are you?

0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Hi.- Follow the pug!

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Piled high with stunning antique pieces,

0:28:18 > 0:28:20the trick is not to miss a treasure.

0:28:20 > 0:28:24- Walk round, but walk round slowly. - Right.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27- It's very easy in a place like this, full of fantastic things...- Yeah.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29- to walk down there, walk down there...- Yes.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32..walk down there, and you can miss something that you really like.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34Like hunting a small creature which might just be

0:28:34 > 0:28:37- nestling two feet from you. - Yes, yes!- So you've got be...

0:28:37 > 0:28:40Tom and Charlie - poised to pounce!

0:28:40 > 0:28:42Decorative items sell well.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44- Decorative doesn't?- Does.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46- Does.- So busts or that country house look,

0:28:46 > 0:28:48that's what they're after.

0:28:48 > 0:28:52I'm worried that my kitsch taste will get in the way!

0:28:52 > 0:28:53No, no, no, we're fine.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58Oh, I love this tea cosy!

0:28:58 > 0:29:01No, Emilia - that's not kitsch at all!

0:29:01 > 0:29:03- How much is that?- 68.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05- Ooh, no!- Huh? I know, I know! OK!

0:29:05 > 0:29:07That's too expensive, isn't it?

0:29:07 > 0:29:09Let's keep going. Oh...

0:29:09 > 0:29:11Now, this is interesting, isn't it?

0:29:11 > 0:29:14I like that. You've got a good eye.

0:29:14 > 0:29:19It's very...again, that lovely cranes, Japanese aesthetic,

0:29:19 > 0:29:21and it's made by Doulton.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23It's very unusual.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25How much is that? 38?

0:29:25 > 0:29:26- Are you pleased, then?- Definitely.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28OK. Thank goodness!

0:29:28 > 0:29:30- Definitely.- Phew!

0:29:30 > 0:29:32You hang on to that. We don't want the boys to grab it.

0:29:32 > 0:29:33Let's keep that with us,

0:29:33 > 0:29:36and shall we have a quick look in the other room?

0:29:36 > 0:29:37Charlie, what do you think of this?

0:29:37 > 0:29:41- I think there's one word here. "Ghastly" is...- Oh, really?

0:29:41 > 0:29:43- I thought it was an unusual thing... - Yeah...

0:29:43 > 0:29:45..an old lady might like in her conservatory,

0:29:45 > 0:29:47to have flowerpots on, you know, that kind of vibe.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50I think you're right, but an old lady with a conservatory

0:29:50 > 0:29:52probably wouldn't pay more than a tenner for it.

0:29:52 > 0:29:53I'm not in this for profit.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55I'm in it for making old ladies happy.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57Then, we'll have the tray...

0:29:57 > 0:29:58Frankly, I'm up against it,

0:29:58 > 0:30:01if you're just in this for making old ladies happy!

0:30:01 > 0:30:04- We've almost covered the whole shop now.- Have you?

0:30:04 > 0:30:07Yep. We're doing breakneck speed.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Oh no, we've been much, much more selective, haven't we, Tom?- We have.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14Come and have a look at this.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17That's great. Is it complete? That's important.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21I don't know when, it's presumably, Enid Blyton, so that's...

0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Post-war.- Post-war. - 1953. That would be right.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26Chad Valley, great maker of toys,

0:30:26 > 0:30:29but what's fantastic here, this presumably was bought

0:30:29 > 0:30:30and given to somebody in the early 50s.

0:30:30 > 0:30:33- And barely...- They haven't used it!

0:30:33 > 0:30:35- That's always the great thing. - Yes, it's wonderful.

0:30:35 > 0:30:40- What are we looking at?- 100 quid? - 80 quid, we could get that for.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42I think that's collectable.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45- I'm liking it.- You're liking it? He's liking it.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47- I'm thinking... - First time for everything.- Yes.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49I'm just, going to pop it one side.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52- And what I'll now do is drop it, there we are.- Don't drop it.

0:30:52 > 0:30:55Let's have a look round these two rooms

0:30:55 > 0:31:00and see if we can find a nice ceramic that we both like.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02I'm just going to give you some options.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04- OK.- OK? This.- Yes.

0:31:04 > 0:31:08- That.- Yes.- That.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11- What about over here?- No.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14We've nearly been round all the rooms again.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17I know, but it's amazing what you see on the second journey, isn't it?

0:31:17 > 0:31:21- What about that?- That's interesting, isn't it? Great shape.

0:31:21 > 0:31:22Isn't it? It's beautiful.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25- That's what, I would love to have that at home.- Yeah.

0:31:25 > 0:31:30An old chemist's bottle used to store ammonia.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32Because of its antiseptic and corrosive qualities,

0:31:32 > 0:31:34domestically in the old days,

0:31:34 > 0:31:37it would have been used mainly for cleaning purposes.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40You can see how the label, they've put the label on the bottom,

0:31:40 > 0:31:44so it would've been on those fabulous chemists' shelves, wouldn't it?

0:31:44 > 0:31:46And there is a bit of damage there,

0:31:46 > 0:31:48but if you had it on a high shelf, you might not notice.

0:31:48 > 0:31:50And how much is it with said damage?

0:31:50 > 0:31:54To us, £68. So that's not bad, is it?

0:31:54 > 0:31:58So in a way, the break has given us the opportunity of purchase.

0:31:58 > 0:32:01- I mean gosh, it's...- Can you see it? - ..jewel-like purple, isn't it?

0:32:01 > 0:32:03It's nightclub purple, isn't it?

0:32:03 > 0:32:05- HE LAUGHS - Shall we go for them?

0:32:05 > 0:32:10- Yes, but can we, can we, get anything, fit anything else in?- No.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13Co-owner David Gardner is happy to help.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15I think with the damage, it's really a showy thing now...

0:32:15 > 0:32:18- It is, yeah. - It's a display thing.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20Emilia, you're missing these pearls of wisdom here.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22I'm still searching!

0:32:22 > 0:32:25I'm just going to come and present to you with more things.

0:32:25 > 0:32:26Why did you like this, Emilia?

0:32:26 > 0:32:31Um, I think it's such an unusual shape.

0:32:31 > 0:32:36- It is.- It's a great shape, isn't it? - Ewer, from a basin in Ewer set.

0:32:36 > 0:32:40I think it will fit in with almost any interior.

0:32:40 > 0:32:44I think that's a great lot. Come on, what's the trade on this?

0:32:44 > 0:32:47They're 32 and 68, so you've got £100 there.

0:32:47 > 0:32:48- £100. You happy?- Very.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51- We've got £100.- Well spent. Well spent indeed.- Yes.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54We've bought very individual lots that'll stand out.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56They'll, either...

0:32:56 > 0:32:58I think they could do quite well.

0:32:58 > 0:32:59They'll "either" what, James?

0:32:59 > 0:33:02Decided not to finish the sentence, eh?

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Well, time will tell.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07- You're teaching me, you're teaching me.- No!

0:33:07 > 0:33:09- You're teaching me. - Absolutely not. I'm driving you mad.

0:33:13 > 0:33:18- Everyone loves a nice light. - Yes, I couldn't agree more.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20- It's not dear, is it?- 38 quid?

0:33:20 > 0:33:23There's one thing, at auction, you can't sell it with plugs on,

0:33:23 > 0:33:26because if somebody buys it in an auction room,

0:33:26 > 0:33:28plug it in, stick the fingers in there, electrocute themselves,

0:33:28 > 0:33:30sue the saleroom, thank you very much.

0:33:30 > 0:33:34- Fine.- What was Noddy, 80? - 80.- And this is 38.

0:33:34 > 0:33:38- Get it for 110, the whole lot? - I like that.- Yeah, go on.

0:33:38 > 0:33:41100 would be better, I mean 110! HE LAUGHS

0:33:41 > 0:33:43- Shall I leave it to you? - I thought you would. OK.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45I've also seen, because I'm on a roll with you now see,

0:33:45 > 0:33:47I've caught you in one of your good moods.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49HE LAUGHS

0:33:49 > 0:33:51I'm going to...

0:33:51 > 0:33:53Have you ever seen me in a bad mood?

0:33:53 > 0:33:54What? I don't know yet.

0:33:54 > 0:33:55I don't want to be there when it happens.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58- Come and see. - Come and look.- Yes, yes.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04This is a pair, which I know always sends you into giddy ecstasy.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06HE LAUGHS

0:34:06 > 0:34:07- Of what?- Japanese.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10Creamware. They're enamel decorated.

0:34:10 > 0:34:14They are into the 20th century, but not by a great deal,

0:34:14 > 0:34:17I would say they're 1910, 1920.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19- Right.- So, 100 years old.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22Simulated bamboo handles, which I quite like.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26- Yes.- They are, by Japanese standards, poor quality.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Poor quality.- Well no, that's rude. Average quality is a better word.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33- But if they weren't, they'd be 1,500 quid's worth, this size.- Right.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35Nice geisha girls.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37- Alright, keep it clean. - CHARLIE LAUGHS

0:34:37 > 0:34:39Peonies. Lotus blossom.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42You've got everything you need in Japan.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44- It's 90 quid.- Yes.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46- I think if we do the Noddy...- Yes.

0:34:46 > 0:34:48- ..do this...- Three items.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Three items, and say he knocked...

0:34:52 > 0:34:55Well, we can ask David. David? How good's your maths?

0:34:55 > 0:34:56- 38 for this.- Yes.

0:34:56 > 0:34:59- 90 for that is 128.- Yes.

0:34:59 > 0:35:03- 80 for that would be 208 in total, as per tag.- Yes.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05Sounds like 200 quid to me, doesn't it?

0:35:05 > 0:35:07- I think it does, sounds quite like 200 quid.- Yes.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10- Does it sound like 200 quid? - We couldn't manage £200, no.

0:35:10 > 0:35:13- Doesn't sound like 200 quid. - No, it doesn't. Sounds like £208.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15Sounds exactly like £208.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18- Thanks for putting us straight. - Yes, my pleasure.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20- Are you happy?- I'm happy. Thank you, David.

0:35:20 > 0:35:23- Absolutely, thank you. - Well done , partner.

0:35:23 > 0:35:27After a fairly hapless attempt at haggling,

0:35:27 > 0:35:29Tom and James are paying the ticket price for everything.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31£80 for the Noddy tea set,

0:35:31 > 0:35:33£38 for the cut glass table lamp

0:35:33 > 0:35:36and £90 for the pair of Japanese vases,

0:35:36 > 0:35:39bringing their total to £208.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46I admire your tenacity.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49You were in there, and you wanted to spend absolutely everything.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51And you almost did.

0:35:51 > 0:35:52HE LAUGHS Well, I'm a terrier!

0:35:52 > 0:35:56So do you think we could have a new show together,

0:35:56 > 0:35:57called Shop Till You Drop?

0:35:57 > 0:36:00- Shop Till You Drop, or Fill The Van. - Fill The Van.

0:36:00 > 0:36:01HE LAUGHS

0:36:01 > 0:36:06Taking a break from their object-finding mission,

0:36:06 > 0:36:08James has brought Emilia to an exhibition

0:36:08 > 0:36:12in Glasgow's Trongate building called Sharmanka,

0:36:12 > 0:36:18Kinetic Theatre by Russian-born artist, Eduard Barsudski.

0:36:18 > 0:36:24Eduard specialises in using found and hand-carved objects

0:36:24 > 0:36:28which perform an enchanting choreography to haunting music,

0:36:28 > 0:36:32telling funny and tragic stories of the human spirit.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36It's an amazing space, isn't it?

0:36:36 > 0:36:40James and Emilia have come to meet Eduard's right-hand woman,

0:36:40 > 0:36:43Tatyana Jakovskaya.

0:36:44 > 0:36:48- Hello!- Hello.- Welcome to Sharmanka. - Hello, James.- Hello, James.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50- Emilia.- Emilia.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56Friend, collaborator and art critic,

0:36:56 > 0:37:01Tatyana co-founded Sharmanka with Eduard in 1988 in St Petersburg,

0:37:01 > 0:37:04and is still the theatre's director today.

0:37:04 > 0:37:08Sharmanka in Russian means 'barrel organ', hurdy-gurdy.

0:37:08 > 0:37:12It's also a symbol of things going in circle.

0:37:12 > 0:37:16- I see.- So here in the west you believe in the progress,

0:37:16 > 0:37:20and you know, east believes that everything goes in circles.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26There are currently 35 sculptures by Eduard Barsudski

0:37:26 > 0:37:30on display here, and several more are out touring the country.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35Aside from training briefly to be an electrician,

0:37:35 > 0:37:38Eduard has no mechanical training.

0:37:38 > 0:37:43I met him 25 years ago in St Petersburg, Russia.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46A friend brought me to his flat...

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Er, not really flat, room

0:37:48 > 0:37:51and in this room, I saw all these machines.

0:37:51 > 0:37:52Really?

0:37:52 > 0:37:57He lived among them on something which was his armchair daytime,

0:37:57 > 0:37:59and his bed at night.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04The first found objects Eduard used

0:38:04 > 0:38:08were bits of carved furniture from pre-revolution Russia,

0:38:08 > 0:38:11which, when he first started to make these sculptures,

0:38:11 > 0:38:15were being discarded by everyone in favour of modern furniture.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18Fleeing from Communist oppression in the USSR,

0:38:18 > 0:38:21Eduard came to Scotland in 1993,

0:38:21 > 0:38:23desperate to continue telling his stories

0:38:23 > 0:38:27through the medium of mechanic sculptures.

0:38:30 > 0:38:34This is the first piece Eduard made here,

0:38:34 > 0:38:38and is affectionately named Jock's Jokes,

0:38:38 > 0:38:42after a rather amusing chimney sweep he met called Jock Redburn.

0:38:43 > 0:38:47He collected all beautiful scrap, industrial scrap,

0:38:47 > 0:38:52and he would not allow anybody to use anything of this,

0:38:52 > 0:38:56until he saw photographs of Eduard kinemats.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59So they found each other after each other's own heart.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01They found each other, yes.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03I mean, they're just utterly extraordinary pieces.

0:39:03 > 0:39:08Was he fascinated by time? By clocks? By watches?

0:39:08 > 0:39:10- I don't know why they keep appearing.- Yes, of course.

0:39:10 > 0:39:14I think that it's kind of feeling that old objects

0:39:14 > 0:39:17keep touches of people who use them.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19This piece is called Titanic,

0:39:19 > 0:39:23and was made in 1994 for a major exhibition in Glasgow.

0:39:23 > 0:39:27It was later bought to be one of the central pieces

0:39:27 > 0:39:31for the opening ceremony of Glasgow's Museum of Modern Art.

0:39:33 > 0:39:38We have to step over, so be, please, be very, very careful.

0:39:38 > 0:39:40This is no time for comic trips!

0:39:40 > 0:39:42SHE LAUGHS

0:39:42 > 0:39:43Oh!

0:39:43 > 0:39:44James!

0:39:44 > 0:39:48This is a butter churn, became heart of Titanic.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51And I think that name Titanic came from this bell...

0:39:51 > 0:39:55- That's gorgeous. - ..which was bought in Belgium.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58As a joke, we ask seller, is it real one from Titanic?

0:39:58 > 0:40:00and he go, "Yes, of course, I have many of them."

0:40:00 > 0:40:02THEY LAUGH

0:40:04 > 0:40:08It's such a wonderful merging of mechanics and theatre, isn't it?

0:40:08 > 0:40:12- Yes.- And I love the way you describe it, with a heart.- Yes.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15It sort of, it gives it its life.

0:40:15 > 0:40:19Eduard thinks that it's not so much he is making them,

0:40:19 > 0:40:25they just make themselves, he just help them into existence.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30This is amazing. You sit there.

0:40:30 > 0:40:34CHIMES

0:40:34 > 0:40:37The passion and originality with which Eduard Barsudski

0:40:37 > 0:40:41started making his kinemat is ever present today,

0:40:41 > 0:40:45and with Eduard now 72, still working six days a week

0:40:45 > 0:40:49on making more and more of these fantastic creations,

0:40:49 > 0:40:52we can look forward to many more mechanical marvels to come.

0:40:55 > 0:40:59And sailing towards their last shop of the trip,

0:40:59 > 0:41:01Tom and Charlie are almost home and dry.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03- One more shop? - One more shop.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06We're in quite good shape. We can relax.

0:41:06 > 0:41:10THUNDER CLAP

0:41:10 > 0:41:13God! What about this? Have you seen rain like this?!

0:41:13 > 0:41:15Look at it!

0:41:15 > 0:41:19Oh, dear. Looks like you spoke too soon about the dry bit anyway.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21We're taking in water, guv'nor.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23Woah! My God!

0:41:23 > 0:41:25LAUGHTER

0:41:25 > 0:41:27I'm sitting in three inches of water!

0:41:27 > 0:41:29- Oh. Under the Clyde! - The Clyde, I know.

0:41:35 > 0:41:38- How's the red gunner, sir?- Haven't heard from him since Calais.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40Come on.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43Tom and a rather soggy Charlie

0:41:43 > 0:41:46have come to Glasgow City Antiques,

0:41:46 > 0:41:50hoping to find something which will help make a splash at the auction.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Hello! How are you?

0:41:53 > 0:41:56- Fine, thank you. - I've had an accident.

0:41:56 > 0:42:00- Do you want a towel? - I don't think there's anything a towel can do, my dear.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03It's only water, Charlie. You won't melt.

0:42:03 > 0:42:07With a number of traders housed under one roof, there's tons to see.

0:42:10 > 0:42:14I've never actually dried my bottom with a hairdryer before,

0:42:14 > 0:42:16and it's got a certain je ne sais quoi.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Oh, Charlie, you are awful.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20Ah, look. There he there he is.

0:42:20 > 0:42:24The whiff of the antiques gets him pointing.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27- You're still doing a bit of that, aren't you?- I'm drying out slowly.

0:42:27 > 0:42:28You're shaking yourself out.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30Have you seen anything you can't live without?

0:42:32 > 0:42:35Christian Dior collar.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38- Is that fashionable these days?- I don't know.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41- You're at the cutting edge of fashion.- Am I?- Yeah.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43Name is great. Fifties is kind of glam.

0:42:43 > 0:42:44There you are, sir.

0:42:44 > 0:42:48Just half close your eyes and imagine I'm beautiful and female.

0:42:48 > 0:42:49Not wearing glasses, with hair.

0:42:49 > 0:42:53I'm an imaginative man, but I think even my...

0:42:53 > 0:42:55LAUGHTER

0:42:55 > 0:42:57Stop larking around, you two!

0:42:57 > 0:43:00You need to find your last lot.

0:43:00 > 0:43:04There. Rather classical, Wedgwood, black basalt brooch.

0:43:04 > 0:43:07- That's rather lovely, actually. - It's gorgeous.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10- Shall we have a look? - Just check if it says Wedgwood.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12It does say Wedgwood.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14That's promising.

0:43:14 > 0:43:15Trader John is acting as go-between,

0:43:15 > 0:43:20as the dealer who owns the brooch is a bit camera shy.

0:43:20 > 0:43:22Would he know if that's gold or not?

0:43:22 > 0:43:25- Give me two minutes and I'll find out for you.- Could you ask him?

0:43:25 > 0:43:28I think it's a really interesting... It's marked up at £100.

0:43:28 > 0:43:29Right, OK.

0:43:29 > 0:43:33That's exactly the kind of thing I can see my mother-in-law wearing.

0:43:33 > 0:43:36- She's a very stylish Elegant woman. - Elegant lady, yeah.

0:43:36 > 0:43:38It's the sort of word you have to use about mother-in-laws.

0:43:38 > 0:43:41I know, I said it quickly.

0:43:41 > 0:43:44It's wonderful quality.

0:43:44 > 0:43:47- Sir.- Davi...John! Nearly called you David.

0:43:47 > 0:43:49- That wouldn't have helped, would it? - No.

0:43:49 > 0:43:51It's been tested as gold.

0:43:51 > 0:43:54- It has?- And how old? We thought it's about...

0:43:54 > 0:43:56About 100 years old.

0:43:56 > 0:43:59Black, death, Queen Victoria.

0:43:59 > 0:44:03- Oh, I see what you're getting at. - There were a lot of things

0:44:03 > 0:44:04around about 1,900 that were ebonised.

0:44:04 > 0:44:07The furniture was ebonised, in other words blackened,

0:44:07 > 0:44:10for obvious reasons. I mean, from the death of Albert

0:44:10 > 0:44:11rather than Queen Victoria.

0:44:11 > 0:44:14When she went into black, everything went into black.

0:44:14 > 0:44:18So what's the, to use a horrible expression, death on it?

0:44:18 > 0:44:21- His definite bottom line's £70. - £70.

0:44:21 > 0:44:24- I think 70 quid, that's a bargain. - We'd like to buy that please, John.

0:44:24 > 0:44:27John, thank you very much indeed.

0:44:27 > 0:44:30It's very wet, I'm afraid, my money. Do you want to hold that?

0:44:30 > 0:44:33Well, we've got 22 quid leftover for a towel.

0:44:33 > 0:44:35Think you'd put a towel in the auction,

0:44:35 > 0:44:37having wiped my body down with it?

0:44:37 > 0:44:41That would enhance its value about 25,000%.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44Well, the boys are pinning their hopes

0:44:44 > 0:44:46on the brooch being a gem at auction.

0:44:46 > 0:44:51Having paid £70 for it, I'm keeping everything crossed.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53And now for the moment of truth,

0:44:53 > 0:44:56when they must reveal what they've each bought.

0:44:56 > 0:44:59- Come on, go on. - Let's get on with it.

0:44:59 > 0:45:01- We bought a lot. - (JAMES) That is a lot!

0:45:01 > 0:45:03Wow!

0:45:03 > 0:45:05- Haven't we bought a lot? - We have bought a lot.

0:45:05 > 0:45:08This is a Noddy tea set,

0:45:08 > 0:45:11- Chad Valley, which apparently is good.- Yep.

0:45:11 > 0:45:14And we bought this sort of crystal based lamp,

0:45:14 > 0:45:17- which we got for 38 quid I think. - What's the history of that lamp?

0:45:17 > 0:45:20I bought it today. That's all the history I know.

0:45:20 > 0:45:23- I need some lamps at home. - Marvellous, that's a buyer!

0:45:23 > 0:45:27And then we've got these, which are apparently quite average

0:45:27 > 0:45:30but quite nice, presentable,

0:45:30 > 0:45:32Japanese, turn of the last century...

0:45:32 > 0:45:341920s probably, Satsuma.

0:45:34 > 0:45:37- But that's our best buy I think. - (JAMES) Now what is that?

0:45:37 > 0:45:40It's a Wedgwood. 19th century Wedgwood brooch,

0:45:40 > 0:45:42mounted with gold.

0:45:42 > 0:45:43That's beautiful.

0:45:43 > 0:45:46- Paid 70 quid. - Very good.

0:45:46 > 0:45:48- James, are you worried? - No, we're fine. We're fine.

0:45:48 > 0:45:52- Why do you look so worried? - No, I'm not worried. Well done.

0:45:52 > 0:45:53This is what we've bought.

0:45:53 > 0:45:55That's fantastic.

0:45:55 > 0:45:56That's rather nice.

0:45:56 > 0:45:59- That's fabulous.- A chemist's jar. - (TOM) That's a great thing.

0:45:59 > 0:46:01Hang on. By your finger, is there a little bit

0:46:01 > 0:46:03of a bijou damagette there?

0:46:03 > 0:46:07- Undamaged I would say that's £300. - And with damage?

0:46:07 > 0:46:10With damage? Well, I don't know. 12 quid?

0:46:10 > 0:46:12I'm only joking!

0:46:12 > 0:46:14- He's a rotter. - That's cruel. Watch my face.

0:46:14 > 0:46:17- 75. - Almost spot on. 68.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20- I like that very much. - (TOM) Yeah, that's really lovely.

0:46:20 > 0:46:23Our big ticket item was the sort of the contents

0:46:23 > 0:46:25of a Bedouin tent here.

0:46:25 > 0:46:26Yeah. I did have a feel inside.

0:46:26 > 0:46:29They aren't actually chunks inside, are they?

0:46:29 > 0:46:31- No. They're sponge rubber. - Sponge rubber.

0:46:31 > 0:46:33You can fill them with whatever you want.

0:46:33 > 0:46:36- You can. Soft furnishings, yes? - Exactly.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38Well done, defend your corner!

0:46:38 > 0:46:40I will! I love those.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43- So we bought that. - Ooh!

0:46:43 > 0:46:45- Is that a Corgi or a Dinky? - Dinky.

0:46:45 > 0:46:47Love the way you said, "Dinky" there.

0:46:47 > 0:46:49Quick as a flash, "Dinky."

0:46:49 > 0:46:51Didn't have to think, did he?

0:46:51 > 0:46:53Don't have Corgi where we are!

0:46:53 > 0:46:56- Right, see you there. - See you at the auction.

0:46:56 > 0:46:59How convinced were they really about what each other had bought?

0:46:59 > 0:47:02With these actors, sometimes you know it's hard to tell.

0:47:02 > 0:47:05- What do you think?- The whole thing will hinge on that Bedouin.

0:47:05 > 0:47:08I could see those in West London, going into a smart flat

0:47:08 > 0:47:10for hundreds of pounds.

0:47:10 > 0:47:12(JAMES) I'm not mad about the dog.

0:47:12 > 0:47:15And I'm not mad about those vases, but someone will be, won't they?

0:47:15 > 0:47:16They will be.

0:47:16 > 0:47:19(TOM) I love that huge bottle.

0:47:19 > 0:47:22I think the fact that the top's been off it, I think it's important.

0:47:22 > 0:47:26The only big threat, I think, from them

0:47:26 > 0:47:30is that fabulous collection of 12 silver topped bottles.

0:47:30 > 0:47:32All's fair in love and war.

0:47:32 > 0:47:35I think it's just going to boil down to Bedouin versus brooch.

0:47:35 > 0:47:37Come on, let's go and have a beer.

0:47:37 > 0:47:40Well, it's time to leave the delights of Bonnie Scotland

0:47:40 > 0:47:44and head 450 miles south to the beauty of Billingshurst

0:47:44 > 0:47:48in West Sussex, for that all-important auction.

0:47:48 > 0:47:50Are you nervous or are you excited?

0:47:50 > 0:47:52I'm quite excited and I'm a bit nervous

0:47:52 > 0:47:56about whether anyone is actually going to bid.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58I think people will think,

0:47:58 > 0:48:01"Ah, if Emilia Fox likes this, then I must buy it."

0:48:01 > 0:48:05- Confident of making a profit? - I think so.

0:48:05 > 0:48:08I'm just expecting profit, after profit, after profit.

0:48:08 > 0:48:10Should be a slam dunk, shouldn't it?

0:48:10 > 0:48:12Quite right, chaps.

0:48:12 > 0:48:15That's the kind of confidence that gets you far in life.

0:48:15 > 0:48:19Bellmans Auctioneers have been auctioning fine art,

0:48:19 > 0:48:22antiques and collectables for over 20 years.

0:48:22 > 0:48:25Here we are. The moment of truth.

0:48:25 > 0:48:27The moment of truth.

0:48:27 > 0:48:29150.

0:48:29 > 0:48:33And we have eagle-eyed auctioneer Will Pasfield

0:48:33 > 0:48:36to give us his verdict on what's on the table.

0:48:36 > 0:48:37First of all, it's a St Bernard.

0:48:37 > 0:48:39We need to find two people who love St Bernards

0:48:39 > 0:48:42to get them bidding against each other.

0:48:42 > 0:48:45I think my personal favourite item is the wet drug jar,

0:48:45 > 0:48:48but the big chip on the neck is going to affect the price.

0:48:48 > 0:48:52The cut glass table lamp is going to be a little bit of a tricky sale.

0:48:52 > 0:48:54We'll be lucky if we get £10 for it.

0:48:54 > 0:48:57The pair of Bedouin tribal bag seats and the other cushions as well.

0:48:57 > 0:49:00We've never sold anything like it before, but I'll see what I can do.

0:49:02 > 0:49:05Both teams started with £400 each.

0:49:05 > 0:49:09Emilia and James spent £302

0:49:09 > 0:49:11on an array of erm goodies.

0:49:11 > 0:49:15Six things in total, which are now organised into six auction lots.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18Go on, go on!

0:49:19 > 0:49:22And by nefarious means, Charlie and Tom

0:49:22 > 0:49:27have ended up with six auction lots and spent a total of £378.

0:49:28 > 0:49:30Mwah!

0:49:30 > 0:49:33Take your seats. Eyes front.

0:49:33 > 0:49:34The auction is about to begin.

0:49:34 > 0:49:38- Before we start, I just want to say good luck.- Good luck.

0:49:38 > 0:49:40Here we go, here we go.

0:49:40 > 0:49:43First up, it's Emilia and James's football game.

0:49:43 > 0:49:45It's not fair.

0:49:45 > 0:49:48Everyone's holding hands except for me.

0:49:48 > 0:49:51£10 is the bid. 15 now, 15...

0:49:51 > 0:49:53Yes! Please, please! 15, 25.

0:49:53 > 0:49:56£10. If we're all done at £10?

0:49:56 > 0:49:57I knew it.

0:49:57 > 0:50:00Oh dear, that's not so good.

0:50:00 > 0:50:02- It's a bit worrying. - Don't worry, don't worry.

0:50:02 > 0:50:06Well, I think James knew, but he didn't like to say.

0:50:08 > 0:50:11Can Charlie and Tom's dainty cut glass lamp light up the room?

0:50:11 > 0:50:14£10 pounds for the lamp. £10, please.

0:50:14 > 0:50:15That's not worth £10.

0:50:15 > 0:50:18It's a lovely lamp, sir. It's the best lamp you've ever seen.

0:50:18 > 0:50:23A bid of £10. It's going to sell for £10, any further interest?

0:50:23 > 0:50:2615, hey! Now we're going. Come on, sir!

0:50:26 > 0:50:2725 on the internet.

0:50:27 > 0:50:28I'll lend you a fiver.

0:50:28 > 0:50:30Don't just sit there man, bid!

0:50:30 > 0:50:32It's gone blank, I'm afraid.

0:50:32 > 0:50:33All done?

0:50:33 > 0:50:35GAVEL BANGS

0:50:35 > 0:50:36Well done, sir!

0:50:36 > 0:50:40No. But hey, they got more than the predicted tenner for it.

0:50:40 > 0:50:44Lot number 15A - a Dinky ABC television

0:50:44 > 0:50:46TV remote controllable truck.

0:50:46 > 0:50:49The person that bought that lot said it was £20...

0:50:49 > 0:50:52Come on you lot, pay attention.

0:50:52 > 0:50:54This is one of your lots.

0:50:54 > 0:50:56Who's got the 5 anywhere?

0:50:56 > 0:50:59Are we selling your lot?

0:50:59 > 0:51:00£30.

0:51:00 > 0:51:02Well, let's ask him afterwards. I'm sure it went for 20.

0:51:02 > 0:51:05Correction - it was James's Dinky.

0:51:05 > 0:51:08Just so you know, it fetched £30.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11Go back!

0:51:11 > 0:51:14No can do, Emilia. This auction waits for no man.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16OK, or woman.

0:51:16 > 0:51:20Next was Charlie and Tom's bargain bootie

0:51:20 > 0:51:22of silver topped bottles.

0:51:22 > 0:51:25£30 to start me for the set bottles.

0:51:25 > 0:51:29- £30 and 5 and 40 and 5 and 40... - There's hundreds!

0:51:29 > 0:51:32..and 5 and 60 and 5 and 70.

0:51:32 > 0:51:34With the lady at £70.

0:51:34 > 0:51:35Come on, internet.

0:51:35 > 0:51:3785 on the net.

0:51:37 > 0:51:39And 5 on the net, 90

0:51:39 > 0:51:4095 on the net if you want to bid,

0:51:40 > 0:51:42100, 110,

0:51:42 > 0:51:45120, 130, 140, 150?

0:51:45 > 0:51:48140 with the lady smiling.

0:51:48 > 0:51:50Do I see 150 anywhere?

0:55:34 > 0:55:37leaving another, Emilia, with the serious hump!

0:56:12 > 0:56:14Root canal, no anaesthetic.

0:56:14 > 0:56:17That may be, Tom, but for that measly £30,

0:56:17 > 0:56:19you'd not even get a filling!

0:56:48 > 0:56:51Is this the worst anyone's ever done?

0:56:51 > 0:56:53I would think so by some margin!

0:56:53 > 0:56:57It would appear that all that's gold does not glitter.

0:57:00 > 0:57:03So, our celebrities began

0:57:03 > 0:57:05with £400 each.

0:57:05 > 0:57:08Unfortunately, Tom and Charlie

0:57:08 > 0:57:10made a whopping £144.30 loss.

0:57:10 > 0:57:13They wind up their road trip

0:57:13 > 0:57:15with just £255.70.

0:57:16 > 0:57:20Emilia and James did slightly better.

0:57:20 > 0:57:22After auction costs,

0:57:22 > 0:57:24they made a loss of £80.60,

0:57:24 > 0:57:27which means they leave this road trip

0:57:27 > 0:57:30with £319.40, making them the winners!

0:57:30 > 0:57:32Well, it's just a dirty shame, isn't it?

0:57:32 > 0:57:34All that effort, all that work

0:57:34 > 0:57:38and today, sadly no profits were made.

0:57:38 > 0:57:42Well, it's been emotional, but all good things must come to an end.

0:57:44 > 0:57:45Well, we've had a marvellous...

0:57:45 > 0:57:48Are we talking about the winner of who's lost now?

0:57:48 > 0:57:50Yes, yes.

0:57:50 > 0:57:52You are slightly less pathetic than we are!

0:57:52 > 0:57:54I don't know. That's not true at all.

0:57:54 > 0:57:57No, we've had a wonderful time. Oh, we have really enjoyed it.

0:57:57 > 0:57:59Well done, James. What fun.

0:57:59 > 0:58:01(JAMES) Tom, Tom, really great.

0:58:09 > 0:58:13Ah, there were some heartfelt hugs right there. Bye, chaps!

0:58:13 > 0:58:16I had a very, very... Such a fun time.

0:58:16 > 0:58:18Yep. Do you think we can stay on for longer?

0:58:18 > 0:58:21Do you think they'd notice if we hid in the back of their car?

0:58:21 > 0:58:23- Become their bag carriers? - Yeah.

0:58:23 > 0:58:25I'm sure it can be arranged.
