0:00:02 > 0:00:04Some of the nation's favourite celebrities...
0:00:04 > 0:00:06why have I got such expensive taste?
0:00:07 > 0:00:09One antiques expert each.
0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:21Answers on a postcard.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Oh!
0:00:23 > 0:00:26And auction for a big profit further down the road...
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Who will spot the good investment? Who will listen to advice?
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- Do you like it? - No, I think it's horrible.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38And who will be the first to say, "Don't you know who I am?"
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Well done, us!
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Time to put your pedal to the metal!
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip!
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Yeah!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54A joust for antiquarian supremacy is about to take place in the English Riviera.
0:00:55 > 0:01:01A new daring celebrity duo, each toting £400 is about to start a trolley dash for treasure.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05They are husband-and-wife duo, queen of the sofa, Fern Britton,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08and prince of the puddings Phil Vickery.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12This reminds me of when you and I were courting, darling!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15What does that mean, courting?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I'm so glad you're romantic and have these fond memories.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- Courting is '50s! - Well, we were courting. - We were going out together.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24We're not that old!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27We did go out together. Now we just stay in together!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29That's because you go to bed at 8.30!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Their eyes met over a red and green pepper.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Ready, steady, cook!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38And the rest, as they say, is history.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I want to pull your package, but just wait a minute.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Fresh-faced Fern's career in local telly started here in Devon.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50She swiftly became a breakfast-time staple,
0:01:50 > 0:01:54before taking up her position as queen of the daytime sofa.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58At home interviewing celebs and world leaders alike,
0:01:58 > 0:02:03she can now add dancer and novelist to her growing list of glory.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07So, you don't mind if I beat you today, eh?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Pardon?- You don't mind...?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- Do you know, I'm fiercely competitive. - You are fiercely competitive.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Galloping gourmet Phil is an award-winning cook turned TV chef.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26His smorgasbord of experience includes competitive cooking in Ready, Steady, Cook
0:02:26 > 0:02:27and Masterchef.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29There you go, lads.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Who more would you want to share it with than us?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34And thanks to his regular appearances on This Morning,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37he's an instantly recognisable face.
0:02:38 > 0:02:44And don't they look the height of sophistication cruising in this sleek little Italian number,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46a '92 Alfa Romeo Spider.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Bella, bella!
0:02:49 > 0:02:55So we're on our way now to meet James and Mark. I love them! Don't you?
0:02:55 > 0:03:00- I must admit, of all the ones that we watch...- Yes?- They're the two that make me laugh the most.- Yes.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05The hilarious Brighton-based Mark Stacey has been in the trade over 25 years.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07He's wearing quite well.
0:03:08 > 0:03:14He loves art deco and retro pieces, but suffers from a crushing lack of confidence.
0:03:14 > 0:03:20- They might have chosen!- This is it, you see. They might have looked and thought who'd want to be with me?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Aha!
0:03:21 > 0:03:26James Braxton is our debonair veteran auctioneer with a passion for quality and design.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27He's larger than life...
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- LOUD LAUGHTER - ..and so is his laugh.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31And he's terribly modest to boot!
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Can I just remind you of the scene? They are in their car and Fern is saying,
0:03:36 > 0:03:41"I'd love to go with that very dapper handsome elegant man James Braxton!"
0:03:41 > 0:03:45See what I mean? Adding a little fun and frivolity to the foray,
0:03:45 > 0:03:50the chaps have hit the road in Herbie, a 1969 classic VW Beetle.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54The sun is out and the top is off,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56and, as usual, the experts are raring to go.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Well, James is anyway!
0:04:01 > 0:04:03This quest for quirk
0:04:03 > 0:04:05takes place in the sunny southwest of England.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Starting in the glorious cream-tea county of Devon,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12ending up at auction in Crewkerne, Somerset.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15We're in scrumpy country. Whoar!
0:04:15 > 0:04:18First stop is a quaint little village called Hele.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- So what are you looking for? - Anything to do with cider.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- # I am a cider drinker... # - Cider drinking in Somerset.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Well, not while you're driving, chaps!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Well, I know you. You'll go for something that's...
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Fishing, fishing memorabilia. - You'll go for fishing memorabilia.
0:04:33 > 0:04:40- Or agricultural.- Yes. Or the faux zebra-skin footstool or a horrible 1960s bath!
0:04:40 > 0:04:46- Yes! Can I take it home? - A bit of class, a proper antique, darling!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Aha!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Aha! Aha!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- So exciting.- It is. - We were slightly concerned,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58because I thought I might get Charles,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00the gangly one who runs like this...
0:05:00 > 0:05:03But as well, I suppose, we have to pair up, don't we?
0:05:03 > 0:05:08I know, I'm not going to stand in the way. Mark wants the intelligent lady of the sofa.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Phil, that's you, then. Oh!
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I think we're going to get on!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16You're keen on antiques as well?
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Well, we love watching the programmes, and we always sit there going, "That won't do it,"
0:05:20 > 0:05:24and then of course it does. So I can't say that we're good, but we are looking forward to it.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I wonder if she'll feel the same after two days with Mark!
0:05:27 > 0:05:31It's time to pick a pocket or two in Fagan's Antiques
0:05:31 > 0:05:35where the spend fest begins for both our deal-doing duos.
0:05:35 > 0:05:41I just hope, you know, when we make all these profits, Phil puts that expression on...
0:05:43 > 0:05:44That'll be him.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Ah, yes, I see the resemblance now!
0:05:47 > 0:05:54- I'm Phil. Pleased to meet you. - Hello, Phil.- Chris, owner extraordinaire of this mighty place.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Have you had a good look round? - Well, we came to the top man.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Thought I'd save ourselves a bit of work, really.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03A little lazy perhaps, but hey-ho!
0:06:03 > 0:06:06What about this ethnographic stuff down here? These spears.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- That's a job lot.- Really? - There's some good stuff here. - Yeah, we like spears.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Boys like spears, don't they?- Yeah, I like spears.- And I like spears.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I love spears!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18So they would have used that, they put a grip on that,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21so that would have been used as a weapon.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Used by a witch doctor probably. - Do you think so? A witch doctor? Blimey!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I quite like this sort of stuff.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- What we've found is something of a different world, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36So African...I think it's very definitely African,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39rather than sort of Polynesian or anything like that.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- And this does seem to sell quite well, doesn't it?- It does.
0:06:42 > 0:06:48And any country that had an empire loves this sort of stuff. And it's very decorative, isn't it?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I quite like it because I've just come back from Namibia.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- So you immediately identified this as...?- Yes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- I think it's oryx horn, isn't it? - Oryx horn. I think it's oryx.
0:06:57 > 0:07:03African artefacts are sought-after items at auction and Chris is asking for £100 for the four
0:07:03 > 0:07:07which has got our chef, or is that our chief, all fired up.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- Look at that!- Look at that! Are you thinking, in for a penny, in for a pound?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13For 100, we get all four.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17The generosity knows no bounds!
0:07:17 > 0:07:21You could argue that was witch doctor stuff, couldn't you? It looks just like it.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28Oh, yes! Witch doctors making magic potions with spices and herbs!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Or is that a chef?
0:07:30 > 0:07:31I always get them mixed up.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- There's a lot of speculation in this, Phil, isn't there?- Mmm.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I quite like that. Whether it'd sell a lot, I don't know.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40The boys aren't yet convinced, but Chris, keen to make the sale,
0:07:40 > 0:07:44thinks he can reel them in with another tribal treat.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Ah, it's a fishing one. - That's a fishing one, is it?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Oh, with the barbs?- Yeah. I see what you mean, Chris.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- And these holes at the top...- Where the gut goes through, isn't it?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Where your gut would have gone through.- So if it swims off, you're not going to...- Yeah.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Go on, throw that in!- No. 120.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- 120?- Yeah.- You sure?
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Oh, he's sure, James! But that's over a quarter of your budget, so there a lot at stake...
0:08:09 > 0:08:11so to speak...medium rare.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I've got to beat my wife, I have to beat my wife!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Well, don't use any of that.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I thought I'd use that club!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Metaphorically speaking, of course, Phil!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Phil, happy with it?- Very.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- I like it.- That's great. - Top man. Thank you very much.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- I always like to see smiling faces! - Yeah.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31They took the bait and have landed their first deal.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35£120 for a mixture of tribal weapons and tools.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Our other odd couple are around here somewhere.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I wonder what's taking their fancy?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Oh, gosh! That's weird, isn't it?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- It's a dinner gong.- Oh, is it?
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- I was going to...- That's what it is. - I feel more like Hi-De-Hi!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- PLONKITY-PLONK - Morning, campers!- Morning, campers!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Hi-De-Hi, campers!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I just think they're great fun.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Because they're for the patio...
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- It's very...- And it would be lovely if you were sort of sitting out having a glass of wine...- Yeah...
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Having picked the grapes. - Do you not think you'd have a cold bottom, though?
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Well, not if it was summer time.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Or do you hate it? - I'm not as enamoured by it.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20I think somebody brought that back from a holiday in Rimini in 1973.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- You're very opinionated sometimes, aren't you?- Yes.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- Shall we go inside?- You love it! - I do! I love being taken in charge!
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Oh, you old devil!
0:09:29 > 0:09:34Mark and Fern see their opportunity to grab Chris. They want to rummage in his smalls, so to speak,
0:09:34 > 0:09:38so he's taking them to his office, the sanctum where he keeps his special stash.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42What's that winged thing over there? Can I go behind your desk?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46The winged thing is a quirky bronze cast of an owl...too-wit!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Oh, I like that.- Oh!
0:09:48 > 0:09:54Well, you see, I think he's rather fun. Owls can be quite collectable. How much is that, Chris?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- 225.- Oh, come on, Chris!
0:09:56 > 0:09:59You've just got such good taste, Mark.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I know I've got good taste, and you've got optimistic expectations!
0:10:03 > 0:10:05he's never one to mince his words, is he?
0:10:05 > 0:10:10Chris's office is like an Aladdin's Cave of curiosities and Mark's spotted another little beauty.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Oh, Fern, look at that.
0:10:13 > 0:10:19- Oh!- And it's got "Model of nurse and wounded Tommy".- First World War,
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- so she's a VAD.- And what is that? Wellington in Somerset.- Oh!
0:10:23 > 0:10:27I love the way he's looking so stoical, with his hat still on!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- But his leg's mortally wounded!- Yes.
0:10:31 > 0:10:37The glazed porcelain model of a nurse and injured soldier is referred to as crestware
0:10:37 > 0:10:41as it bears the coat of arms from the town where it was sold.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Crestware was normally modelled on Roman and Greek pots, which makes this a rare item.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49What is your very best on that, Chris?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51The minimum has got to be 80.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56When you said minimum 80, what did you really mean?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- It's got to be a minimum of £80.- Oh?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Oh? I'm glad we cleared that up!
0:11:02 > 0:11:06But if we bought the two, could you not do something for us?
0:11:06 > 0:11:07No.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Someone got out of bed the wrong side this morning!
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Thick-skinned Mr Stacey is taking it in his stride, though,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15and has just uncovered another growler.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- That is a bear.- Yeah, Black Forest. - Which I think is quite fun. - Isn't he lovely?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- It's quite a sweet, sentimental little thing.- I love teddies.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27These tourist Swiss wood carvings had their heyday in the 19th century,
0:11:27 > 0:11:30but were still being made into the early 20th century.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34What kind of price has Chris got on it?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- 40.- 40?
0:11:36 > 0:11:41- He is lovely.- And he's perfect, really.- Well, he's got a little chip on his paw.- I love him.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- Yes, he has got a chip on his paw. - Yeah. That's why it's only 40.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47LAUGHTER
0:11:47 > 0:11:54- You are good!- I love the fact... Very smooth!- I love it! I love it! You are good.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57But not good enough to seal the deal just yet.
0:11:57 > 0:12:04While Mark and Fern consider their options, smooth operator Chris has been summoned by the opposing team.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Phil spotted this lovely bench.- Yes.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14Which just has a lovely naive charm to it, doesn't it?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17You'll never get that in the car, chaps!
0:12:17 > 0:12:21It's got great age, it's got a great look to it, hasn't it?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24It is beautiful. But would we get a return on our money?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Phil has Michelin-starred taste.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30The 19th-century ash bench is another pricey item
0:12:30 > 0:12:33with a shopping ticket price of £225.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35But is Chris ready to give a discount?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Doesn't look like it.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41I could wound me a little bit, say 200.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43What about 150, Chris?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I said "wound me a little bit".
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- No, I want to get you on the floor...- I'm going to be going out of here a broken man!
0:12:49 > 0:12:54Look, no violence, chaps! All that earlier spear-handling and goring has quite gone to their heads!
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- It's charming.- 160.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59That is it.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Phil, what do you think?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I love it.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- I love it.- Well, that's that, then!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Big and bold, 150, do you think?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08You've had the price.
0:13:08 > 0:13:14I...just suddenly I got that look from Chris where I knew I was slightly overstepping the mark!
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Yeah!
0:13:15 > 0:13:18And this is where you smile and retreat gracefully.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- It's a lovely item.- It is. - Go on, shake his hand!
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- Cheers, Chris! Thank you so much. - Really kind.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28That's really kind.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32And with that they've blown £280 of their £400 budget
0:13:32 > 0:13:35on a beautiful bench and some African artefacts,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37narrowly avoiding the wrath of Chris.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40So leg it, boys!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- That was very successful. - It was good, wasn't it?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Very successful. - So what happens now?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- I don't know. How does this car run? - This is actually quite nice, actually.- Is it?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51It's much better than that thing.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- I think you should take it. - Shall we?- Give it a try?- Yeah!
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Give it a go! Let's go! Come on!
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Whatever happened to ladies first?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- Fern, Fern likes cares, doesn't she? - She loves her cars. - She loves her cars!
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- But she won't be very happy if we nick this one!- Excellent! Let's get in!
0:14:10 > 0:14:15We can't let unchivalrous chaps commit grand theft auto!
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Inside a little birdie tells me Mark may have found something special.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Fern, I mean, look.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Am I mad?- Yeah!
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I think so.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28It's one funky chicken!
0:14:28 > 0:14:33It's a seesaw head from the 1950s with a ticket price of £75.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Can I get my bottom on it?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Oh!
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- That's me.- Are you all right? - I won't be able to get up again.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Oh, no!- Right, just calm down.- Well, I can go and buy the owl, then!
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Shortly after a delicate dismount that no-one needs to see.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- It doesn't do it for me!- Oh...
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Sorry. What would you do with it? Where would you put it?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Gosh, there's lot of people who buy these sort of stuff...
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Youngsters buy them for their apartments.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Really, Grandpa?
0:15:00 > 0:15:05- Now, I know you're a winner and I know you're fabulous and wonderful and I adore you...- Oh!
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- Can you say it again? - You're fabulous and wonderful and I adore you...
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Oh, don't encourage him!
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- But you've got to be sensible. - I think you might have to be.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14- But...- What?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18I think it we could get this at the right price, it's a safer bet than the owl.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Shall we try?
0:15:21 > 0:15:26- Now you're talking, Phil. - It is quirky.- Come on, let's do it. - Let's grab him.- Come on!- Oh!
0:15:26 > 0:15:28LAUGHTER
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Finally, they've decided on the crested ware piece and the Black Forest bear
0:15:32 > 0:15:35which have a combined price of £120.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40And the chook is £75, but what will Chris take for all three pieces?
0:15:40 > 0:15:45- So if I did that for 30... - 150 for the three?- Yeah.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- You've got to be...- I think we've got to say that, haven't we?
0:15:48 > 0:15:53- Thank you, because that's lovely. - You're a good sport. - We've got three corking lots.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57After much debate they've wrapped up three very interesting items of swag for auction
0:15:57 > 0:16:01costing them £150 of their £400 budget.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- We've still got £250 left.- Gosh! - Whoa! Don't go!
0:16:10 > 0:16:13get going while you still have the money to spend! Quick!
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Where's our car?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- It looks like we've got the Beetle! - Ah!
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- Cos the boys have stolen...- I bet they thought we wanted the Spider,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- but actually I'm happy with the Beetle.- I'm much happier.- Good!
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Shall we just...?- Shall we shove him in the back seat?- OK.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30This could be fun.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Here we go!
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Perfect!
0:16:40 > 0:16:45James, Phil and the stolen Spider are hustling 17 miles southeast
0:16:45 > 0:16:49on their way to a picturesque little village called Otterton,
0:16:49 > 0:16:53giving them plenty of time to bond over their love of fine food.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- Where did you start?- I found a job in the Lake District which I loved, and I stayed there five years.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03And that really got me into the food and fresh chickens and fresh fish...
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Did that for a few years. Got very fed up then,
0:17:05 > 0:17:10- and I got a job in Sussex at a place called Gravetye Manor. - I know Gravetye.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- We had out honeymoon night at Gravetye.- When? When was that?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- That would be 1986. - I was there then.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20- I was a sous-chef. - Mr... what was his name? - Peter Herbert.- Peter Herbert, yeah.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- In 1986...- Yeah. - ..I was the sous-chef there.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Yes, well, we would have had your excellent cooking... We stayed there for two days.
0:17:28 > 0:17:34- Did you? - I sulked when I got to Skiathos because the food wasn't as good.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37LAUGHTER I might have cooked you a meal!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Quite the bromance developing between these two!
0:17:40 > 0:17:41As a passionate foodie,
0:17:41 > 0:17:46Phil understands the importance of knowing where his raw ingredients come from,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48so he should love the next stop.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53At Otterton Mill they've been producing flour for the community and surrounding area
0:17:53 > 0:17:57using the same traditional process for nearly 1,000 years.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Here's our man!
0:17:58 > 0:18:03But miller Brian is taking a break from the daily grind to show them how it all works.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I am indeed. I'm Brian, I'm the head miller here.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- The head miller. - Welcome to Otterton Mill.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14The earliest record of the mill is from the Domesday Book of 1068
0:18:14 > 0:18:18which confirmed it as one of the most productive of 70 mills in Devon.
0:18:18 > 0:18:251,000 years later, Otterton Mill is one of only a few watermills left in the area
0:18:25 > 0:18:30that preserves the traditional process in a working museum and bakery. Perfect!
0:18:30 > 0:18:32What a beautiful place!
0:18:33 > 0:18:37What a lovely... Very good for the soul, isn't it, Brian, this river?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Running water is always extremely peaceful, isn't it?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- It is peaceful, I agree. - Don't ask me why, but it is.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Makes you want to go to the loo, though.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Although the mill has been restored over the years,
0:18:48 > 0:18:54the waterwheels that are still in use date back to 1827 and are powered by the River Otter.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Brian, are you going to give it some juice? Let's see some power.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01If we open this sluice now, we should be able to get the waterwheel to turn.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Look at that!- Straightaway! It's on!
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- That is amazing!- It's is, isn't it?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Otterton's most famous miller is John Uglow,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16milling here from 1843 to 1864.
0:19:16 > 0:19:23With his unique French burr stones he ground flour so fine it was delivered as far afield as Plymouth.
0:19:23 > 0:19:2825kg bags of wheat are hoisted upstairs to be poured into the hopper.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Brian's roped in Phil to give him a hand.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Stand by!
0:19:32 > 0:19:35The bag going up.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Thank you, Gerry.
0:19:36 > 0:19:3725kg!
0:19:37 > 0:19:39In it goes...
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Come on!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45When I first started work, I started work on the farm
0:19:45 > 0:19:50and the bags of wheat then were two and a quarter hundredweights,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52and we used to carry them on our backs.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57- That's 250 lbs?- That was quick for a fellow of your age!
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Thank you very much.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- 250 lbs? On your back?- Yes. - Really?- Yes.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Are you ready to start? We're ready up here!
0:20:07 > 0:20:08- Yeah, I'm ready.- OK.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14After Gerry opens and closes a combination of water sluices,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17the water flow is enough to get the big wheel turning.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20And the wheel will very shortly start.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Hey presto!- As if by magic!
0:20:26 > 0:20:32The wheat flows through the top millstone which revolves against the stationary bottom millstone,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34grinding the grain into flour.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Can they get too hot, the stones?
0:20:37 > 0:20:42When we've milled for about an hour, the flour gets pleasantly warm.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46When you taste our flour in a minute, you'll find that it's delightful.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Originally around 25 farms in the local area used this mill,
0:20:50 > 0:20:54paying the miller to grind their grain into stock feed
0:20:54 > 0:20:58or selling it to the miller to grind for the baker.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Here you are, gentlemen.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Feel the texture of it and then taste the flavour of it.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Take a decent pinch of it and you will get the full flavour of it!
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Very good, isn't it? - And also it's a beautiful colour.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14A lovely colour. This sort of flour, I would use for a sourdough
0:21:14 > 0:21:20or mix it with kibbled weeds or... to get almost a more rustic loaf.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22What's a sourdough, then?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25In the air, there's yeast flying around now.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Wherever you are yeast is there,
0:21:26 > 0:21:31and what you do is get your natural yeast in the air, mix this flour with water,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33cover it in Clingfilm and leave it in a warm place, airing cupboard,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35and the natural yeast will ferment.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Mix it up, warm place, warm place, and over a period of time,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42you'll get a bucket as big as you want.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Half of that it then taken out, you make your bread as your leaven,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49which is your yeast, you feed it, and the next day you use it again and again and again,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51so it just keeps growing.
0:21:51 > 0:21:57- A friend of mine had one 15 years! - So you can make bread every day and just keep it going.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- For months and months...- It's very sad, but I did a lot of work on it.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05And it's time to put Phil's expertise to the test,
0:22:05 > 0:22:08as Otterton has its very own bakery next door.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10So this it? This is where it all happens?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Yeah, this is where all the magic happens.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Zac the baker has invited the chaps in for a bread-making masterclass,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19not that James needs it, of course!
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Mine looks jolly good!
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Slightly worried about yours, Phil!
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Looks OK to me, James!
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Yours, on the other hand...
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Yeuch!
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Can I pop mine in the tin before I actually...?
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Nobody will notice.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Nice work, James!
0:22:36 > 0:22:37The master!
0:22:38 > 0:22:39The master!
0:22:40 > 0:22:42That's more like it!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45This is a few loaves that were baked literally about ten minutes ago.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Oh, rock on!
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Look at that! Just perfect!
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Oh, a lovely, warm... - With that crust and that...
0:22:56 > 0:22:57With butter!
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Cuts really well... - It must be a top bench.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Very nice.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Nice sweet edge to it.- Lovely!
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- Why should it be nutty, then? - There's nowt taken out, love!
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Nowt taken out! It's all in the nowt!
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Now, wash your hands!
0:23:15 > 0:23:20So as Otterton's mill's big wheels keep on turning, so do ours,
0:23:20 > 0:23:24and Phil and James are back on the road, as are Mark and Fern,
0:23:24 > 0:23:29who have beetled their way from Hele 13 miles south to another little village called Woodbury,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31just on the outskirts of Exeter.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Well, I'm rather worried, you know, because Phillip and James seems to be hitting it off...
0:23:38 > 0:23:43- He said we've got the same sort of taste, we're going with the same sort of thing.- That's good.
0:23:43 > 0:23:50- Phil likes anything to do with fishing and shooting and that kind of country pursuit...- Ooh.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- It's not everyone's cup of tea. - It isn't.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Whereas chicken-shaped seesaw heads. of course, are all the rage!
0:23:57 > 0:24:02Next stop, Woodbury Antiques, AKA Rock Pie Antiques.
0:24:02 > 0:24:08And just in time because Fern is suffering from a common problem associated with the VW.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Excuse me, I've just got a little bit of Beetle bottom!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Beetle bottom?
0:24:15 > 0:24:19A twinkling cabinet of the shiny stuff has lured them in for a closer look.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22There's a silver teething ring there as well.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- The one at the back is a marriage. - Is it a...? I know! I know!
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- I know!- I just threw that one in!
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- You slipped that bit of knowledge in there, didn't you?- I know.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36Crikey! A marriage is a term used in the trade meaning two separate items joined together.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38So Fern's been doing her homework!
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- I tell you what! You have been watching these shows!- Told you!
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Do you know what? I'm going. You don't need me.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46- No, please, come back.- OK.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51Step aside, Mr Stacey. There's a new kid in town and she's come prepared.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Well, if only we had a glass to look to see if there was a mark.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- I just might have...- Please, don't say you've got one on you!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I wouldn't have expected anything less!
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Now, I haven't a clue what I'm looking at, but I'm looking good doing it.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Yeah, Mark's been getting away with that for years!
0:25:07 > 0:25:10What am I doing here? I don't know.
0:25:11 > 0:25:11Beats me!
0:25:11 > 0:25:13He taught me everything I know.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15The mind boggles!
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Having inspected the silver and found it wanting, it's time to browse forth
0:25:19 > 0:25:22and there's an unusual little piece up ahead.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Oh, maybe it's like that... - Oh, I see.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27And then you put the books in and that pressures...
0:25:27 > 0:25:30It's quite odd. Arts & Crafts.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- Oh, hello!- Hello!
0:25:32 > 0:25:35See? The minute he says Arts & Crafts, he's excited.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40- No, I'm not actually excited. - No, I'm not saying that, you just mentioned it.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42They're like a pair of old ladies, these two!
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- That is unusual, Fern. I've never seen anything like it.- No.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50And even when it's not got books in it, it's rather sculptural.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54So you could have it just as a talking point.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56To put your latest Virginia Woolf in there.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Do you write at all?- Yes. - Or your latest Fern Britton!
0:25:59 > 0:26:04I happen to be number 4 in the Sunday Times bestseller list at the moment!
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- Or your latest Phil Vickery cook book?- Ah! Actually...- His and hers.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10He's got more than I have, he has.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16Aw, novelist, queen of daytime, ballroom dancer and now what about master negotiator?
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Where's Jenny the shopkeeper? It's time to make an offer on the book holder.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- We want to have a little chat about this...- Little springy thing.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- It is a bookcase, isn't it? - It is, yes.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- £22 you've got on here, Jane. - I have, indeed.
0:26:30 > 0:26:36We wouldn't be so rude as to ask what you paid for it,
0:26:36 > 0:26:42- but what do you think we could pay for it, cash? - Have you got any ideas?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Yes, but you're not going to like it!
0:26:44 > 0:26:45This is cheeky...
0:26:45 > 0:26:4610?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51That's very cheeky, but you read my mind.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- She's telepathic too!- How about something more round about 16?
0:26:55 > 0:26:5616?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58£12?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- She's not giving up.- Well, that's quite a nice number, isn't it?
0:27:01 > 0:27:07- It's a lovely number! - It's a round figure. - I think you could tempt me at 12.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Thank you, darling. I'm really thrilled with that.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14£12 for the lady, please. I'm not allowed to carry money. I'm like the Queen.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19Perhaps, but the Queen doesn't have one of those fetching bumbags to keep it in either.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Another oddity stashed for auction. Hurrah!
0:27:22 > 0:27:27With their car boots bulging with booty, it's been a great day's shopping all round.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Time to turn in for the evening.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Night-night, y'all.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Behold a brand-new day with plunder to purchase.
0:27:36 > 0:27:42And there's nothing that gets you going more than life on the open road with the wind in your hair!
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- Oh, lovely smell of petrol there. - Yes.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50We bought two items yesterday, almost all our budget.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- Seriously? I don't believe you. - Yeah.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55When I phoned home last night, one of the girls said to me,
0:27:55 > 0:27:59"Did Dad buy anything like a weapon?"
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- A weapon?- She knows you.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Daddy's little girl was right!
0:28:06 > 0:28:11The likely lads splurged £280 of some African weapons and tools
0:28:11 > 0:28:14and an ash bench on which to perch.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18They're £120 left to go wild with today.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- Happy with it?- Very.- I like it.
0:28:20 > 0:28:27Whereas this terrible twosome have spent £162 on the Black Forest bear,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29the nurse and injured soldier,
0:28:29 > 0:28:36the chook and an expanding book holder, leaving them £238 to splash before auction.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39Oops!
0:28:41 > 0:28:45The weather's still with us. I'm getting on really well with her.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- Are you? - Yeah, she's lovely, actually.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- He's a very naughty boy. - He's a very naughty boy.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53And he makes me laugh!
0:28:53 > 0:28:55- And we did all right. - You know what James reminds me of?
0:28:55 > 0:29:00- He reminds me of a small child who doesn't pay attention... - Does he really?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Yeah, but looks like Jack Nicholson!
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Crikey! He's right!
0:29:06 > 0:29:11I think I'm going to call him Jack now...he's so sort of... like Jack and James.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13I nearly did yesterday!
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Here's Johnny! I mean, Jack...
0:29:15 > 0:29:16no, James.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- Look at this.- A lovely beech wood.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21- It is lovely.- Beech has a lovely light, doesn't it?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27The fortune hunters are taking their race for riches
0:29:27 > 0:29:3030 miles south to the busy fishing town of Brixham.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- Whey!- Well done!
0:29:34 > 0:29:38How did the Beetle beat this mean machine, then?
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- I've no idea!- I haven't got a clue. We haven't got a sat nav.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43What we need's an ice cream.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- Right, let's go. The shops are this way.- Are you off?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Goodbye.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Quick! Before they get everything!
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Looks like Fern and Mark are hitting it off too.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58It makes you feel all warm inside! Well, maybe...
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Brixham once had Britain's largest fishing fleet
0:30:03 > 0:30:06and was the birthplace of the famous Brixham trawler.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11It's still a busy harbour today where pleasure-seekers come to see the replica
0:30:11 > 0:30:15of Sir Francis Drake's ship the Golden Hind.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17But there's no time for sightseeing on this trip.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22So here we are. "If I'm closed and you see anything, just leave a note," or ring!
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Come on, you lazy lump! Get out of bed!
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Peter, it's James Braxton from the Antiques Road Trip.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33We're anxious, Phil Vickery and I, anxious to get in your shop. Bye.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Well, Phil, there we are. That's a good start to the day.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44That's unlucky, lads, especially as you've got quite a lot of shopping still to do.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Hoping to bust their budget on one final piece of precious plunder,
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Mark and Fern have already arrived at just the shop.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Well, this looks like our shop.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Owner Caroline's ready and waiting for the onslaught.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- Good morning.- Hello, I'm Fern. How do you do?- Caroline.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- Caroline? Caroline, here's Mark. - Pleased to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Are you feeling in a generous mood towards us?- Oh, I'm sure I can be.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10- As long as you don't upset me.- Ooh! - Ooh!- Fern, don't upset her.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- No, I won't.- I was thinking more of Mark than Fern!- Exactly!
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Ah, she's seen your work, Mark!
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Mark's obsession with owls continues.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27It could possibly be 500 years old but I don't think it is somehow, do you?
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Well, it says 1567.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- 1567...that's 7 minutes past 4.- Yes. - No, it's got all this...
0:31:36 > 0:31:40Keep up, Fern! Of course, had it been that sort of date, we'd be talking tens of thousands.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- It would be marvellous, wouldn't it? - There's no price on it, it could be free.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I just think it's charming.
0:31:46 > 0:31:52- There is a bit of charm there. - Look at those lovely eyes. It's like James Braxton after a red wine.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56That's like James Braxton before a red wine! Speaking of which...
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Peter's been on and he's going to be an hour.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03So the boys are having to find other ways to entertain themselves.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I need an ice cream.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06- Hello! - Hi.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- Look at the ice cream! - It's over here.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13I say! This is more fun than antiques shopping! I'll have a ripple!
0:32:13 > 0:32:15When I was a kid, my grandma used to give us these.
0:32:15 > 0:32:21All right? And we sued to get an old bottle, put that in the bottle, put warm water on it,
0:32:21 > 0:32:23and that was our drink.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- LAUGHTER We used to call it grog.- Grog.
0:32:25 > 0:32:26There you go!
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Sounds revolting!
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Thank you.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- Mmm! Very good, isn't it? - I wonder if Peter's arrived yet?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Bad news. There's a queue forming outside the shop.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Are you after Peter?- Yeah.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Even the dog's after Peter.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46He better get a move on! Stop dribbling, you!
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Meanwhile, just nearby...
0:32:50 > 0:32:56- It's a bird.- I thought it was... - Trying to get in.- Trying to get in. What is that?
0:32:56 > 0:33:01It's a cockatoo. It's trying to get out. It's locked in, it's all right. You'll be fine.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- Does he bite, then?- Well, he would you, cos he doesn't know you.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Well, he might because he does!
0:33:07 > 0:33:10At least these two are in a shop, albeit with an angry old bird.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13James and Phil are still hanging about outside, though.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18- 12.30 now.- is it? When did we come here? 9. 30. - He said an hour, didn't he?
0:33:18 > 0:33:22Yeah. Well, that's Devon for you, isn't it?
0:33:22 > 0:33:25It's a slower pace of life.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- I'll tell you what, we'll give him half an hour.- We'll give him half an hour.- Then we'll have lunch.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Then we'll have lunch. - Then we'll just go home.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Don't give up hope, boys! There's still time.
0:33:33 > 0:33:38They've almost drawn a blank in this little shop, but Mark's still eyeing up that bird...
0:33:38 > 0:33:40no, the owl!
0:33:40 > 0:33:42I like the fact it's handmade.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44Yes.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49- And the lovely colour, slipware. - It's quite an appealing thing.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- Thank you. Oh, you meant the jug? - No, the owl.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54You don't like it at all?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57It could be very interesting,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59and I think people think it's interesting not necessarily because it's nice,
0:33:59 > 0:34:02but because people thinks it's a famous one that went for hundreds of thousands.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- Which was Ollie the owl. - Ollie the owl.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06It was Ozzy the Owl, actually.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11The Staffordshire slipware jug valued at £20,000, although this is no Ozzy.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Mark knows how collectable owls can be, so he might be on to something.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18I just think he's got something quirky about him.
0:34:18 > 0:34:23- If the price...- Is right. - If it was, say, £5...
0:34:23 > 0:34:25I'd like...I'd go 20.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- Oh, no!- Now, you see...
0:34:27 > 0:34:31- you understand that's not going to get us anywhere. - We're a pair of wise old owls,
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- and we're not paying 20, are we? - Can't.- I might go to 5.50.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- Oh!- I mean, look at the damage.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40You come up a bit and I'll drop down a bit.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Well, I think...you see, if it is £5 or £6,
0:34:42 > 0:34:46- then we're going to get a little bit of profit in it, aren't we? - Yes, we are.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49- If it's £20, I don't think we will. - We're not.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53- We'll shake on that, I think. - On what?- 6.50.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Oh! 6.50!
0:34:55 > 0:34:57- Did you see that one coming? - She nearly got me then!
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- That hand...- Look at it, it went straight down to me side.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Do you know, I've never seen anybody move so quick. Honestly!
0:35:04 > 0:35:08- 6. Go on, then. 6.- Yes? - Are you sure?- Yes.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- Go for it. Hand it over. - I'm really pleased, honestly. Thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Well, you can't argue with that, can you?
0:35:14 > 0:35:17They'0re fully stocked up on items to trade at auction
0:35:17 > 0:35:21and they've only spent £168 of their £400 budget.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23What a prudent pair!
0:35:25 > 0:35:29They're tired, they're weary, but is their luck about to change?
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Brixham Junk is their final hope for glory.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35This is the moment they've been waiting for.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37- MUSIC: "Star Wars" - Behold! Peter!
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Does he hold the key to their success?
0:35:45 > 0:35:46- RECORD STOPS - I doubt it!
0:35:46 > 0:35:49It's all happening here, isn't it, Peter?
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- So are we allowed to have a rummage? - Of course.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54It's all 50 pence each, any five bits for a pound.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- So the prices factor isn't very difficult to understand.- OK.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01How do you know what you've got, Peter?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03It comes in every day and goes out every day.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06I sold loads this morning, I sell loads of stuff every day.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Busier than Tesco in here. It's mental. You couldn't make it up how busy it is.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14I swapped a motorbike for a pair of speakers yesterday.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16It's like Aladdin's Cave!
0:36:16 > 0:36:18If Aladdin owned a jumble sale!
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- This is where you find a bargain, isn't it?- It is. It really is.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- I don't think he knows what he's got. - No, hasn't a clue.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27Brixham Junk is one of the busiest shops in town and for good reason.
0:36:27 > 0:36:32Goods of all types go in and out at a furious rate at knockdown prices.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35There's something for everyone if you know what you're looking for.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40- I got these this morning, gentlemen. This is just a tenner.- A tenner? What is this, then?
0:36:40 > 0:36:41- Silver coins.- Silver coins?
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- Full set. Must be worth a tenner. - Look at that! Look at that!
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- There's one missing. - No, it's a full set.- Look at that!
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- And they're silver? - They're definitely silver.- Tenner?
0:36:52 > 0:36:54- It's got to be a have.- Got to be. - Peter, we'll take that one.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Thank you.- It's a good start. - Top man!
0:36:57 > 0:37:02These coins are to commemorate the 80th birthday of the Queen Mother, and are very collectable.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05So that set could be a tasty little earner for them.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10That's all right, sir, breakages don't have to be paid for in here!
0:37:12 > 0:37:15There's even a sign up there, see?
0:37:19 > 0:37:22This is a truly unique experience.
0:37:22 > 0:37:28Peter likes the bulk-buy approach, selling off his treats a box at a time,
0:37:28 > 0:37:29so the lads are loading up.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31These two. Look at these.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Go on, throw them over!
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Here you go.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40It's heavy!
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Oh! Ow!
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- You all right?- Yeah. - Watch that ball.- Look at that!
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Peter can't believe his luck.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52That's quite nice. That's a Victorian sugar box.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55So pre-1894.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57And we've got pressed glass here...
0:37:57 > 0:38:03we've got a rather mixed box, but we've got a silver dedication there.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- We should really get a good return on this.- We should get a good return.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11- But the great thing about this, Phil, is Mark's going to go absolutely mental.- Why?
0:38:11 > 0:38:12I doubt it!
0:38:12 > 0:38:17Because he'll think it's some sort of infringement or something or slightly unfair.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22And no...the real reason is that he can see a thumping profit in it.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27Well, this has been the ultimate forage for fortunes and I'm not sure they've found any,
0:38:27 > 0:38:30but they're ready to deal and Peter, of course, was born ready.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- How much do you want to give me for it?- I don't know, Peter.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- As little... Well, not as little as possible...we want to be fair. - As little as possible, go on.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Say a price.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- What, £2? - I've just had a heart attack.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- He's..- The man was expecting a pound.- A fiver.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49I'd be delighted with a fiver.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52I think Peter's just glad to be rid of it.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54But before they can make their getaway,
0:38:54 > 0:38:57he's got a couple of beauties he's been keeping up his sleeve.
0:38:57 > 0:39:02A stylish pair of stepladders. Oh, God!
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- These were in Vogue magazine, gentlemen.- These ones?
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- They make them into bookcases. - No, they don't.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12- How do they make them into bookcases, then, Peter?- What do you do?- I haven't got a clue, have I?
0:39:12 > 0:39:17- Do you mean they open them up and then they put...?- Very fashionable, very, very fashionable.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19They're stepladders!
0:39:19 > 0:39:21And you don't use them as stepladders, then?
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- No, of course you don't! That would be silly, wouldn't it?- Really?
0:39:24 > 0:39:25Ridiculous!
0:39:25 > 0:39:27So £20 for the pair?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- 20?- £20, that's a bit... - How about 10?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- What, for the pair?- Yeah. - Nice pitch pine.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- A tenner would be very fair for the pair.- Would it?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Seriously, chaps, this isn't happening, is it?
0:39:38 > 0:39:43I would not really expect to walk away with a couple of stepladders...
0:39:43 > 0:39:47- But we only paid a tenner, they're a fiver each.- Fiver each.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- We've got to make something there. - Even the steps have got to be worth a fiver each!
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Well, it's a good bit of kindling, isn't it?
0:39:53 > 0:39:58Dear, oh, dear! James and Phil's shopping trip ends at the Brixham Junk Shop
0:39:58 > 0:40:03where they've bought a set of silver coins, an assorted box of ornaments, and some ladders.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- Oh, blimey O'Reilley!- I'm worn out. - I'm worn out.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10I need some lunch.
0:40:10 > 0:40:16Blissfully unaware of the eventful morning, Fern and Mark are having their own ice cream
0:40:16 > 0:40:18while getting to know each other a little better.
0:40:18 > 0:40:23Of all the people you've interviewed, is there someone that stuck in your mind that you thought,
0:40:23 > 0:40:24"That was wonderful!"?
0:40:24 > 0:40:30- Yes, Desmond Tutu.- Oh!- He was funny, he was warm, he's an angel on earth!
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- He is.- Unbelievable.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36I was allowed to go into his room where he had all his archives, all his passports,
0:40:36 > 0:40:39all his doctorates, his Nobel Peace Prize, everything.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41And I turned round and there he was, "Would you like a Ferrero Rocher?"
0:40:42 > 0:40:45I mean, really just gorgeous!
0:40:45 > 0:40:47I would have been tempted to say, "Monsieur Ambassador!"
0:40:48 > 0:40:50I nearly did!
0:40:50 > 0:40:55When it comes to lady writers with a yarn to spin, Fern's in excellent company,
0:40:55 > 0:41:00as just west of Brixham is the holiday home of crime queen Agatha Christie.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03MUSIC: "Murder She Wrote" Theme
0:41:03 > 0:41:08She created iconic sleuths Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple
0:41:08 > 0:41:14and her 66 detective novels have sold around four billion copies worldwide.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17House steward Lucinda Heron's here to meet them.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- we're so pleased.- We're so excited, aren't we?- We're so excited.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23- We've been really waiting.- It's been murder waiting to come, hasn't it?
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Fern's latest novel is called The Holiday Home,
0:41:28 > 0:41:32sp where better to come for a shot of inspiration than Greenway House,
0:41:32 > 0:41:36where Agatha, her husband Max and their daughter spent their holidays?
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- Oh, there's a lovely feel, isn't there?- Wow!
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- It's like a real home, isn't it? - Exactly!
0:41:43 > 0:41:45The house was taken over by the National Trust
0:41:45 > 0:41:49and has been restored exactly as Agatha and her family left it,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52decor, furniture, collections, the lot.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56I've noticed something rather dangerous lurking over there. What is that?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- It's a box of homeopathic remedies. - Oh, yeah.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Agatha was trained to be a dispensing chemist.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- She worked at that in the First World War and the Second World War.- Wow!
0:42:03 > 0:42:05And this obviously belonged to her.
0:42:05 > 0:42:10And they're well and truly tied down because some of the little vials have still got liquid in the bottom,
0:42:10 > 0:42:12so we wouldn't want the visitors getting hold of them.
0:42:12 > 0:42:17And there's one, if you look over here, there's hyoscine,
0:42:17 > 0:42:20and the obviously used that as a poison in one of her stories, so...
0:42:20 > 0:42:26- Oh! So that's how she knew about the poisons? - She could have poisoned you.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28She knew exactly what she was doing.
0:42:28 > 0:42:36Agatha's unique brand of whodunit murder mysteries has been adapted for film and TV many times over,
0:42:36 > 0:42:41and Poirot and Marple made all the more memorable who portrayed them.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Are you a Poirot or a Marple?
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- Well, I like both of them, to be honest. - You see, I'm a Marple person.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- You like Marple? - Who's your favourite Miss Marple?
0:42:53 > 0:42:55- Without a shadow of a doubt, Margaret Rutherford.- Yeah.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- It's just that tune... - HE HUMS THE THEME TUNE
0:42:58 > 0:43:02- And she used to walk with her bosoms forward!- Yes, absolutely,
0:43:02 > 0:43:07- But very British stuff and nonsense, stoic.- Yes.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11You know, what ever you throw at me, best foot forward!
0:43:12 > 0:43:16During the Second World War, Greenway House was a home for evacuated children
0:43:16 > 0:43:19before being requisitioned by the US Navy.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21- Oh, I love this,- It is beautiful.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24The library shows a frieze of US Coast Guard Flotilla 10's personal story,
0:43:24 > 0:43:33painted by Lieutenant Marshall Lee which Agatha kept when the house was finally returned to her.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36It really feels like she's just got up and put the kettle on in another room.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39Right to the fact that she left her chocolates on the table.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42- Oh, look at that! - Dame Agatha, thank you!
0:43:42 > 0:43:44Hands off, Mark!
0:43:45 > 0:43:48Agatha set three novels at Greenway House,
0:43:48 > 0:43:53and when you enter the drawing room it's easy to see where she drew her inspiration from.
0:43:53 > 0:43:59This is where she would have Poirot make sure that everybody understood why they were gathered together.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01- Oh, yes.- That's right, yes.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03To discover who the murderer is.
0:44:03 > 0:44:07"Mr Poirot, you're imagination's running wild!"
0:44:07 > 0:44:10- Exactly, as they reach into their handbag to pull out a small pistol. - That's right.
0:44:10 > 0:44:15- This is the room where apparently she would try her stories out on her house guests...- No!
0:44:15 > 0:44:19..For the very first time, and she'd be sitting in this chair here.
0:44:19 > 0:44:24Se would sit and try her stories out and see what everybody thought before they were published.
0:44:24 > 0:44:29And apparently Max, her husband, would doze off and then he would wake up and tell everyone who'd done it.
0:44:30 > 0:44:36Road Trip's very own budding detectives have had a short glimpse into the life of Agatha Christie,
0:44:36 > 0:44:37but it's time to get going.
0:44:37 > 0:44:42- We must say goodbye because we have a mystery of our own to solve.- Oh, right?- We do.- Well, good luck.
0:44:42 > 0:44:43The mystery of who's going to win.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46We'll find out whodunit later.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48First it's time to look at each other's finds.
0:44:48 > 0:44:53Greenway has its very own quay on the River Dart where the grand unveiling is about to take place.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57OK, ready, 1, 2, 3.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00- Look at that!- Wow!
0:45:00 > 0:45:02- Treasures all!- Wow!
0:45:02 > 0:45:04Phil's lost for words. Wow!
0:45:04 > 0:45:08- Isn't that wonderful? - He's fun, isn't he?- He's great fun.
0:45:08 > 0:45:12- Is it a he?- I think so, because he's got...
0:45:12 > 0:45:17No, it's not, it's a chicken. Because look it's got the crown and the liverage.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19- Yes. Price?- £30.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23- Could we get £30 back for it? - And a little bit more, I think.
0:45:23 > 0:45:29And then our major bit is the little crested figure here
0:45:29 > 0:45:33- of a nurse attending an injured Tommy.- Yeah.- In the war.
0:45:33 > 0:45:36And it's actually a very rare Arcadian model.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38And how much did you buy it for?
0:45:38 > 0:45:40- We bought it for 90. - That's all right.- No!- 80.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43- We bought it for 80.- 80?
0:45:43 > 0:45:48- Wow!- But that should be worth £150-200 next week.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51- Yeah.- Our little duck was from today. - It's an owl.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54- Did I say duck?- You did, darling.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57- Do you know, I don't know my birds any more.- No, you don't.
0:45:57 > 0:46:02- It's very damaged.- This is an owl. He is very damaged and he is an a poor state.
0:46:02 > 0:46:07- He is 1655.- As it says on the front. - 1567, it was made.
0:46:07 > 0:46:11- Is it not 19...what was it?- 1567. - It's 1957.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14No, 1567 it was made. It's got the date on it.
0:46:14 > 0:46:19- Must be right!- We know it's very poor quality, we know it's got chips...- It's not poor quality!
0:46:19 > 0:46:23- But the charm here... - The charm is wonderful.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Do you know what? I love this!
0:46:26 > 0:46:30- I love them.- He's being horrible, isn't he?- I love them!
0:46:30 > 0:46:32People in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35One, two, three...
0:46:36 > 0:46:40- Ooh!- Those are good lots for a Somerset sale, actually.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42That bench is gorgeous.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44Now, we absolutely love that bench.
0:46:44 > 0:46:50Underneath is the bark still and it's been used, it's wonderful.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53- It's lovely. It's got a lovely grain.- Yeah, we love that.
0:46:53 > 0:46:54I love that, and I love that simple...
0:46:54 > 0:46:59- It just goes on.- That technique, to put the legs in, it's really lovely.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02We sat on it and we felt it and thought this is fantastic.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04What did you pay for it?
0:47:04 > 0:47:04Have a guess.
0:47:04 > 0:47:06200.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08- Very good. 160.- 160.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11It's a nice thing. And it's a good item for a ...
0:47:11 > 0:47:13It's a punt. Then...
0:47:13 > 0:47:17the artefacts, I just love. That was a fishing spear and you can see where the holes were.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19African tribal.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Lovely, absolutely.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24- I think they're the Ndonga tribe from South Africa.- Yeah.
0:47:25 > 0:47:26Anyway...
0:47:26 > 0:47:29What do you think of our ladders?
0:47:29 > 0:47:30Well, there's a pair.
0:47:30 > 0:47:34It just demonstrates the level of what we were working with!
0:47:34 > 0:47:36- Really?- But for a fiver each, we thought.- I love them.
0:47:36 > 0:47:40- I love them. If somebody wants a ladder for a fiver...- I think they're fab!
0:47:40 > 0:47:43And I think they're perfect for that sale, honestly.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46Those should make, I think, at least 12.
0:47:46 > 0:47:47That much?
0:47:47 > 0:47:49Behind you. Just stand up, please.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52- Oh!- Oh, God!
0:47:52 > 0:47:57Oh, my goodness! One big box of stuff.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59It's all individual rubbish!
0:47:59 > 0:48:01- 24-carat gold...- Damaged, chipped...
0:48:01 > 0:48:04but that's about the best we could do there.
0:48:04 > 0:48:05Well, you did very well.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08- And we paid for that...was it 5?- £5.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11- OK.- Well done, boys!- Well done. Great.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14- Brilliant.- Very good. - Good luck at auction.- See you there.
0:48:14 > 0:48:19Neither team seems too impressed, so this should be interesting.
0:48:19 > 0:48:20It's time to spill the beans.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22I think that went really well.
0:48:23 > 0:48:29I don't honestly think the other items they bought are that great.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32I don't understand spears and African art.
0:48:32 > 0:48:36- They paid a lot for those, £120. - They did.- It's quite a lot.
0:48:36 > 0:48:37That green thing, even though it's damaged...
0:48:37 > 0:48:41- The green vase...- It's great looking, but it's damaged...
0:48:41 > 0:48:44- That's not going to make £100?- No. - No.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47- Whoever wins, I don't care!- No.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49- We've had such a laugh. - Really, really good fun.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52Tell you what, I feel a bit sorry for them!
0:48:52 > 0:48:56Now, now, Mr Vickery! The proof of the pudding is in the eating as you very well know.
0:48:56 > 0:49:02The auction is in the South Somerset town of Crewkerne which grew up around the textile industry.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05They used to make sails for the Royal Navy here.
0:49:06 > 0:49:11- If you win, I will make you a cup of tea in the morning.- Yeah.
0:49:11 > 0:49:13- For a week.- A week?
0:49:13 > 0:49:14Yeah. That's plenty.
0:49:14 > 0:49:20So if you win, I will cook you your favourite supper, whatever you want, for seven days.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22OK. Shake.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26I can't help thinking Fern's got the better end of this deal!
0:49:26 > 0:49:32Lawrence's Auction in Crewkerne specialises in fine art, collectables and sporting sales,
0:49:32 > 0:49:37and the expert team there have a combined experience of over 200 years. Wow!
0:49:37 > 0:49:39- Morning, boys!- Morning.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41The sun is out, gentlemen!
0:49:41 > 0:49:44You're looking good.
0:49:44 > 0:49:49The hero with the hammer at the helm of today's sale is Richard Kay
0:49:49 > 0:49:51who has his own thoughts on our lots.
0:49:51 > 0:49:55There are some interesting pieces, some that might struggle a little bit more.
0:49:55 > 0:50:00There is a very unusual item which is a metal cast head of a cockerel
0:50:00 > 0:50:03such as one might find on a playground seesaw.
0:50:03 > 0:50:08Of rather limited appeal, but I daresay to somebody who's got the other end of the seesaw,
0:50:08 > 0:50:10it could be worth £50 0r £60.
0:50:10 > 0:50:15There is a quite a nice piece of good honest country furniture which is the long ash bench,
0:50:15 > 0:50:19perfect for a farmhouse kitchen. There are plenty of those within 20 miles of where we're standing now.
0:50:19 > 0:50:23So that we hope will be worth between £80-120.
0:50:24 > 0:50:33Nifty thrifty duo Fern and Mark only spend £168 of their starting £400 to buy five lots for auction.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35He taught me everything I know.
0:50:35 > 0:50:42Whereas Phil and James forked out £305 of their £400, also amassing five lots.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Well, it's a good bit of kindling, isn't it?
0:50:44 > 0:50:48The clash of the treasure-seeking titans is about to commence.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Here we go! Shh!
0:50:50 > 0:50:51Ssh! Oh, sorry, Fern.
0:50:51 > 0:50:55First up is her and Mark's Black Forest bear.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57Will it do a roaring trade?
0:50:57 > 0:51:01Small Black Forest bear model seated there. £10 for it?
0:51:01 > 0:51:05£10 is bid. Opening bid at 10. 12 now.
0:51:05 > 0:51:06You bidding? 15.
0:51:06 > 0:51:10£15. It's near me. It's nearer me,. Lady's bid at £15.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12- 18.- Yes!- At 18.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15Gosh! That's a beautiful bear! That's absolutely lovely...
0:51:15 > 0:51:19- Sorry, sorry. What a fabulous bear. - £18. 20.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23Are you together? No. 20 now. Gentleman's bid at 20.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26At £20, and I'm selling.
0:51:26 > 0:51:27Oh!
0:51:27 > 0:51:30- You've got an extra £2. - What was the loss on that one?
0:51:30 > 0:51:32Don't ask, Phil!
0:51:32 > 0:51:35Despite Fern's efforts, the little bear makes a big loss.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39I prefer to be going upwards rather than down.
0:51:39 > 0:51:43Phil and James are hoping for an out-of-this-world price
0:51:43 > 0:51:45for their African artefacts.
0:51:45 > 0:51:49£20 for them all. £20 is bid. 25. 30.
0:51:49 > 0:51:52- 35.- Oh!- 40. 45. 50. 55. 60.
0:51:52 > 0:51:5565. 70. 75. 75!
0:51:55 > 0:52:01Gentleman's bid at 75 and I'm selling now at £75. All done at 75?
0:52:01 > 0:52:02Oh, dear!
0:52:02 > 0:52:04I tell you, that was creeping up then.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Not creeping enough though!
0:52:06 > 0:52:10Another crashing loss. A bad start for both teams.
0:52:10 > 0:52:14I'm not gloating. I never gloat. It's so unattractive!
0:52:14 > 0:52:18Can Fern and Mark cash in on the rare crestware nurse and soldier?
0:52:18 > 0:52:23Interest here, bids start at 45. £50 is bid.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26- £50 is bid.- Come on.- 55. 60. 65.
0:52:26 > 0:52:2870. 75. 80. 85.
0:52:28 > 0:52:33- 90. 95. It's 95 in the room. - This is better.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36£95. At 95 on my left. Are we done elsewhere?
0:52:36 > 0:52:40- Last time at £95. - It should have made a lot more.
0:52:40 > 0:52:41It stopped. It should have made a lot more.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44Unfortunately, the bidders didn't agree.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47But it's profit nonetheless.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50- That was a small profit.- We made £15.- Are we happy with that^?
0:52:51 > 0:52:55Phil and James step up with their next lot, the ladders.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58Can they elevate their chances of success?
0:52:58 > 0:53:03£5 I have for these. At £5, will anyone go higher on them? Ha-ha!
0:53:03 > 0:53:05£8 is bid and I'm out.
0:53:05 > 0:53:07£8 and I'm selling at 8.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10At £8 in the room. Quickly at 8. Last time at 8.
0:53:10 > 0:53:11Aw!
0:53:11 > 0:53:13£8!
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Another loss for Phil and James.
0:53:17 > 0:53:18That's disappointing.
0:53:18 > 0:53:22- Oh, darling!- It's a disaster!
0:53:23 > 0:53:27But chin up! It's Fern and Mark's fairground chook next.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29I'm bid £30 here.
0:53:29 > 0:53:30Wonderful, we've covered it.
0:53:30 > 0:53:3245 and I'm out. It's £45.
0:53:32 > 0:53:3550, new bidder. 55.
0:53:35 > 0:53:3855, it's on my left. I'm selling at £55.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40- Fabulous, it's very rare!- At £55.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42Who are these people? £55.
0:53:42 > 0:53:47- I'm selling at £55. Now at £55.- Whoo!
0:53:47 > 0:53:50The little chicken turned out to be a prize bird.
0:53:50 > 0:53:51Well done.
0:53:51 > 0:53:55- I told you you should buy that, didn't I?- Yes, you did! All right!
0:53:55 > 0:53:57That's why you're the expert!
0:53:57 > 0:53:59Next up, could Phil and James be in the money
0:53:59 > 0:54:01with their commemorative coins?
0:54:01 > 0:54:05- Bid's here, start me at £50. I have a £50.- Good luck, boys, good luck.- 60.
0:54:05 > 0:54:1065 now. 65 on my far left. I'll sell at 65.
0:54:10 > 0:54:14Are we done elsewhere at 65? And I'm selling last time.
0:54:14 > 0:54:15Oh!
0:54:15 > 0:54:17It's a jolly good profit!
0:54:17 > 0:54:20At last! The boys are back in the game!
0:54:20 > 0:54:22Let's hope they can keep it up.
0:54:22 > 0:54:26- Look at his face! - I've lived with this for 15 years!
0:54:26 > 0:54:29- Oh!- Nobody knows how I've suffered. - Not for much longer!
0:54:32 > 0:54:37Can Fern and Mark extend their lead with the unusual book holder?
0:54:37 > 0:54:38What shall we say? £10 for that?
0:54:38 > 0:54:42- £10 for it? £10 somewhere. - It's beautiful!- 5.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46- At £10. 5 anywhere? 5 is bid.- Oh! - 8 now.- Come on!
0:54:46 > 0:54:4910. 12. £12, gentleman's bid.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52- Selling at 12. 15.- It's cheap.
0:54:52 > 0:54:5415. You bidding? £15.
0:54:54 > 0:54:59£15. I'm selling in the room at 15. Are we done? At £15.
0:54:59 > 0:55:04- Way too much.- That's disappointing. - Way too much.- That's disappointing.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07Is it? A tiny profit, but it was barely worth the effort.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09At least it's a profit!
0:55:09 > 0:55:13- It's a profit. - After commission, it's gone.
0:55:13 > 0:55:16Actually it's about 30p profit but let's not quibble!
0:55:16 > 0:55:20It's James and Phil's ornamental lucky dip up next.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23- Household ornaments, crockery and collectable items.- Ooh!
0:55:23 > 0:55:27- One of the collectable items showing to you there.- Where?- Whoop! Whoop!
0:55:27 > 0:55:30£10 for this lot, if you will.
0:55:30 > 0:55:31£10 for it.
0:55:31 > 0:55:33£10 anywhere. £5, then?
0:55:33 > 0:55:39Oh, dear. £5, anywhere? At £5. 5 is big. Thank you. At £5.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42At £450,000 I'll sell. It's £5 only.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44Are we done at £5? Last time.
