Some of the nation's favourite celebrities... | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
why have I got such expensive taste? | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
One antiques expert each. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
And one big challenge. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
Who can seek out and buy the best antiques at the very best prices? | 0:00:14 | 0:00:19 | |
Answers on a postcard. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
Oh! | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
And auction for a big profit further down the road... | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
Who will spot the good investment? Who will listen to advice? | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
-Do you like it? -No, I think it's horrible. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
And who will be the first to say, "Don't you know who I am?" | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
Well done, us! | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
Time to put your pedal to the metal! | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
This is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip! | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
Yeah! | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
A joust for antiquarian supremacy is about to take place in the English Riviera. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
A new daring celebrity duo, each toting £400 is about to start a trolley dash for treasure. | 0:00:55 | 0:01:01 | |
They are husband-and-wife duo, queen of the sofa, Fern Britton, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
and prince of the puddings Phil Vickery. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
This reminds me of when you and I were courting, darling! | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
What does that mean, courting? | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
I'm so glad you're romantic and have these fond memories. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
-Courting is '50s! -Well, we were courting. -We were going out together. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
We're not that old! | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
We did go out together. Now we just stay in together! | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
That's because you go to bed at 8.30! | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Their eyes met over a red and green pepper. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
Ready, steady, cook! | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
And the rest, as they say, is history. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
I want to pull your package, but just wait a minute. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
Fresh-faced Fern's career in local telly started here in Devon. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:48 | |
She swiftly became a breakfast-time staple, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
before taking up her position as queen of the daytime sofa. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
At home interviewing celebs and world leaders alike, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
she can now add dancer and novelist to her growing list of glory. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:03 | |
So, you don't mind if I beat you today, eh? | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
-Pardon? -You don't mind...? | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
-Do you know, I'm fiercely competitive. -You are fiercely competitive. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
Galloping gourmet Phil is an award-winning cook turned TV chef. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
His smorgasbord of experience includes competitive cooking in Ready, Steady, Cook | 0:02:20 | 0:02:26 | |
and Masterchef. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
There you go, lads. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Who more would you want to share it with than us? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
And thanks to his regular appearances on This Morning, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
he's an instantly recognisable face. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
And don't they look the height of sophistication cruising in this sleek little Italian number, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:44 | |
a '92 Alfa Romeo Spider. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
Bella, bella! | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
So we're on our way now to meet James and Mark. I love them! Don't you? | 0:02:49 | 0:02:55 | |
-I must admit, of all the ones that we watch... -Yes? -They're the two that make me laugh the most. -Yes. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
The hilarious Brighton-based Mark Stacey has been in the trade over 25 years. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
He's wearing quite well. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
He loves art deco and retro pieces, but suffers from a crushing lack of confidence. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:14 | |
-They might have chosen! -This is it, you see. They might have looked and thought who'd want to be with me? | 0:03:14 | 0:03:20 | |
Aha! | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
James Braxton is our debonair veteran auctioneer with a passion for quality and design. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:26 | |
He's larger than life... | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
-LOUD LAUGHTER -..and so is his laugh. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
And he's terribly modest to boot! | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Can I just remind you of the scene? They are in their car and Fern is saying, | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
"I'd love to go with that very dapper handsome elegant man James Braxton!" | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
See what I mean? Adding a little fun and frivolity to the foray, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
the chaps have hit the road in Herbie, a 1969 classic VW Beetle. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
The sun is out and the top is off, | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
and, as usual, the experts are raring to go. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
Well, James is anyway! | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
This quest for quirk | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
takes place in the sunny southwest of England. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
Starting in the glorious cream-tea county of Devon, | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
ending up at auction in Crewkerne, Somerset. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
We're in scrumpy country. Whoar! | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
First stop is a quaint little village called Hele. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
-So what are you looking for? -Anything to do with cider. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
-# I am a cider drinker... # -Cider drinking in Somerset. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
Well, not while you're driving, chaps! | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
Well, I know you. You'll go for something that's... | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
-Fishing, fishing memorabilia. -You'll go for fishing memorabilia. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-Or agricultural. -Yes. Or the faux zebra-skin footstool or a horrible 1960s bath! | 0:04:33 | 0:04:40 | |
-Yes! Can I take it home? -A bit of class, a proper antique, darling! | 0:04:40 | 0:04:46 | |
Aha! | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
Aha! Aha! | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
-So exciting. -It is. -We were slightly concerned, | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
because I thought I might get Charles, | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
the gangly one who runs like this... | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
But as well, I suppose, we have to pair up, don't we? | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
I know, I'm not going to stand in the way. Mark wants the intelligent lady of the sofa. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
Phil, that's you, then. Oh! | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
I think we're going to get on! | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
You're keen on antiques as well? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
Well, we love watching the programmes, and we always sit there going, "That won't do it," | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
and then of course it does. So I can't say that we're good, but we are looking forward to it. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
I wonder if she'll feel the same after two days with Mark! | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
It's time to pick a pocket or two in Fagan's Antiques | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
where the spend fest begins for both our deal-doing duos. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
I just hope, you know, when we make all these profits, Phil puts that expression on... | 0:05:35 | 0:05:41 | |
That'll be him. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:44 | |
Ah, yes, I see the resemblance now! | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
-I'm Phil. Pleased to meet you. -Hello, Phil. -Chris, owner extraordinaire of this mighty place. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:54 | |
-Have you had a good look round? -Well, we came to the top man. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
Thought I'd save ourselves a bit of work, really. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
A little lazy perhaps, but hey-ho! | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
What about this ethnographic stuff down here? These spears. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
-That's a job lot. -Really? -There's some good stuff here. -Yeah, we like spears. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:11 | |
-Boys like spears, don't they? -Yeah, I like spears. -And I like spears. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
I love spears! | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
So they would have used that, they put a grip on that, | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
so that would have been used as a weapon. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
-Used by a witch doctor probably. -Do you think so? A witch doctor? Blimey! | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
I quite like this sort of stuff. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
-What we've found is something of a different world, isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
So African...I think it's very definitely African, | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
rather than sort of Polynesian or anything like that. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
-And this does seem to sell quite well, doesn't it? -It does. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
And any country that had an empire loves this sort of stuff. And it's very decorative, isn't it? | 0:06:42 | 0:06:48 | |
I quite like it because I've just come back from Namibia. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
-So you immediately identified this as...? -Yes. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
-I think it's oryx horn, isn't it? -Oryx horn. I think it's oryx. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
African artefacts are sought-after items at auction and Chris is asking for £100 for the four | 0:06:57 | 0:07:03 | |
which has got our chef, or is that our chief, all fired up. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
-Look at that! -Look at that! Are you thinking, in for a penny, in for a pound? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:12 | |
For 100, we get all four. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:13 | |
The generosity knows no bounds! | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
You could argue that was witch doctor stuff, couldn't you? It looks just like it. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
Oh, yes! Witch doctors making magic potions with spices and herbs! | 0:07:22 | 0:07:28 | |
Or is that a chef? | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
I always get them mixed up. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
-There's a lot of speculation in this, Phil, isn't there? -Mmm. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
I quite like that. Whether it'd sell a lot, I don't know. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
The boys aren't yet convinced, but Chris, keen to make the sale, | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
thinks he can reel them in with another tribal treat. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
-Ah, it's a fishing one. -That's a fishing one, is it? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
-Oh, with the barbs? -Yeah. I see what you mean, Chris. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
-And these holes at the top... -Where the gut goes through, isn't it? | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
-Where your gut would have gone through. -So if it swims off, you're not going to... -Yeah. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
-Go on, throw that in! -No. 120. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
-120? -Yeah. -You sure? | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
Oh, he's sure, James! But that's over a quarter of your budget, so there a lot at stake... | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
so to speak...medium rare. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
I've got to beat my wife, I have to beat my wife! | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
Well, don't use any of that. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
I thought I'd use that club! | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Metaphorically speaking, of course, Phil! | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
-Phil, happy with it? -Very. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
-I like it. -That's great. -Top man. Thank you very much. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
-I always like to see smiling faces! -Yeah. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
They took the bait and have landed their first deal. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
£120 for a mixture of tribal weapons and tools. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
Our other odd couple are around here somewhere. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
I wonder what's taking their fancy? | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
Oh, gosh! That's weird, isn't it? | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
-It's a dinner gong. -Oh, is it? | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
-I was going to... -That's what it is. -I feel more like Hi-De-Hi! | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
-PLONKITY-PLONK -Morning, campers! -Morning, campers! | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
Hi-De-Hi, campers! | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
I just think they're great fun. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
Because they're for the patio... | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
-It's very... -And it would be lovely if you were sort of sitting out having a glass of wine... -Yeah... | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
-Having picked the grapes. -Do you not think you'd have a cold bottom, though? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
Well, not if it was summer time. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:11 | |
-Or do you hate it? -I'm not as enamoured by it. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
I think somebody brought that back from a holiday in Rimini in 1973. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
-You're very opinionated sometimes, aren't you? -Yes. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
-Shall we go inside? -You love it! -I do! I love being taken in charge! | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
Oh, you old devil! | 0:09:28 | 0:09:29 | |
Mark and Fern see their opportunity to grab Chris. They want to rummage in his smalls, so to speak, | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
so he's taking them to his office, the sanctum where he keeps his special stash. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
What's that winged thing over there? Can I go behind your desk? | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
The winged thing is a quirky bronze cast of an owl...too-wit! | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
-Oh, I like that. -Oh! | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
Well, you see, I think he's rather fun. Owls can be quite collectable. How much is that, Chris? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:54 | |
-225. -Oh, come on, Chris! | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
You've just got such good taste, Mark. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
I know I've got good taste, and you've got optimistic expectations! | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
he's never one to mince his words, is he? | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
Chris's office is like an Aladdin's Cave of curiosities and Mark's spotted another little beauty. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:10 | |
Oh, Fern, look at that. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
-Oh! -And it's got "Model of nurse and wounded Tommy". -First World War, | 0:10:13 | 0:10:19 | |
-so she's a VAD. -And what is that? Wellington in Somerset. -Oh! | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
I love the way he's looking so stoical, with his hat still on! | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
-But his leg's mortally wounded! -Yes. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
The glazed porcelain model of a nurse and injured soldier is referred to as crestware | 0:10:31 | 0:10:37 | |
as it bears the coat of arms from the town where it was sold. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
Crestware was normally modelled on Roman and Greek pots, which makes this a rare item. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
What is your very best on that, Chris? | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
The minimum has got to be 80. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
When you said minimum 80, what did you really mean? | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
-It's got to be a minimum of £80. -Oh? | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
Oh? I'm glad we cleared that up! | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
But if we bought the two, could you not do something for us? | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
No. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
Someone got out of bed the wrong side this morning! | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
Thick-skinned Mr Stacey is taking it in his stride, though, | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
and has just uncovered another growler. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
-That is a bear. -Yeah, Black Forest. -Which I think is quite fun. -Isn't he lovely? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
-It's quite a sweet, sentimental little thing. -I love teddies. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
These tourist Swiss wood carvings had their heyday in the 19th century, | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
but were still being made into the early 20th century. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
What kind of price has Chris got on it? | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
-40. -40? | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
-He is lovely. -And he's perfect, really. -Well, he's got a little chip on his paw. -I love him. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:41 | |
-Yes, he has got a chip on his paw. -Yeah. That's why it's only 40. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
-You are good! -I love the fact... Very smooth! -I love it! I love it! You are good. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:54 | |
But not good enough to seal the deal just yet. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
While Mark and Fern consider their options, smooth operator Chris has been summoned by the opposing team. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:04 | |
-Phil spotted this lovely bench. -Yes. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
Which just has a lovely naive charm to it, doesn't it? | 0:12:09 | 0:12:14 | |
You'll never get that in the car, chaps! | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
It's got great age, it's got a great look to it, hasn't it? | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
It is beautiful. But would we get a return on our money? | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
Phil has Michelin-starred taste. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
The 19th-century ash bench is another pricey item | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
with a shopping ticket price of £225. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
But is Chris ready to give a discount? | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
Doesn't look like it. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
I could wound me a little bit, say 200. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
What about 150, Chris? | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
I said "wound me a little bit". | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
-No, I want to get you on the floor... -I'm going to be going out of here a broken man! | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
Look, no violence, chaps! All that earlier spear-handling and goring has quite gone to their heads! | 0:12:49 | 0:12:54 | |
-It's charming. -160. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
That is it. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
Phil, what do you think? | 0:12:59 | 0:13:00 | |
I love it. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
-I love it. -Well, that's that, then! | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
Big and bold, 150, do you think? | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
You've had the price. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
I...just suddenly I got that look from Chris where I knew I was slightly overstepping the mark! | 0:13:08 | 0:13:14 | |
Yeah! | 0:13:14 | 0:13:15 | |
And this is where you smile and retreat gracefully. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
-It's a lovely item. -It is. -Go on, shake his hand! | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
-Cheers, Chris! Thank you so much. -Really kind. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
That's really kind. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
And with that they've blown £280 of their £400 budget | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
on a beautiful bench and some African artefacts, | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
narrowly avoiding the wrath of Chris. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
So leg it, boys! | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
-That was very successful. -It was good, wasn't it? | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
-Very successful. -So what happens now? | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
-I don't know. How does this car run? -This is actually quite nice, actually. -Is it? | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
It's much better than that thing. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
-I think you should take it. -Shall we? -Give it a try? -Yeah! | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
Give it a go! Let's go! Come on! | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
Whatever happened to ladies first? | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
-Fern, Fern likes cares, doesn't she? -She loves her cars. -She loves her cars! | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
-But she won't be very happy if we nick this one! -Excellent! Let's get in! | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
We can't let unchivalrous chaps commit grand theft auto! | 0:14:10 | 0:14:15 | |
Inside a little birdie tells me Mark may have found something special. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
Fern, I mean, look. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
-Am I mad? -Yeah! | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
I think so. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
It's one funky chicken! | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
It's a seesaw head from the 1950s with a ticket price of £75. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
Can I get my bottom on it? | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
Oh! | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
-That's me. -Are you all right? -I won't be able to get up again. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
-Oh, no! -Right, just calm down. -Well, I can go and buy the owl, then! | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
Shortly after a delicate dismount that no-one needs to see. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
-It doesn't do it for me! -Oh... | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
Sorry. What would you do with it? Where would you put it? | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
Gosh, there's lot of people who buy these sort of stuff... | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
Youngsters buy them for their apartments. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
Really, Grandpa? | 0:14:59 | 0:15:00 | |
-Now, I know you're a winner and I know you're fabulous and wonderful and I adore you... -Oh! | 0:15:00 | 0:15:05 | |
-Can you say it again? -You're fabulous and wonderful and I adore you... | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
Oh, don't encourage him! | 0:15:09 | 0:15:10 | |
-But you've got to be sensible. -I think you might have to be. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
-But... -What? | 0:15:13 | 0:15:14 | |
I think it we could get this at the right price, it's a safer bet than the owl. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
Shall we try? | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
-Now you're talking, Phil. -It is quirky. -Come on, let's do it. -Let's grab him. -Come on! -Oh! | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
Finally, they've decided on the crested ware piece and the Black Forest bear | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
which have a combined price of £120. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
And the chook is £75, but what will Chris take for all three pieces? | 0:15:35 | 0:15:40 | |
-So if I did that for 30... -150 for the three? -Yeah. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:45 | |
-You've got to be... -I think we've got to say that, haven't we? | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
-Thank you, because that's lovely. -You're a good sport. -We've got three corking lots. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
After much debate they've wrapped up three very interesting items of swag for auction | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
costing them £150 of their £400 budget. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
-We've still got £250 left. -Gosh! -Whoa! Don't go! | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
get going while you still have the money to spend! Quick! | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
Where's our car? | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
-It looks like we've got the Beetle! -Ah! | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
-Cos the boys have stolen... -I bet they thought we wanted the Spider, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
-but actually I'm happy with the Beetle. -I'm much happier. -Good! | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
-Shall we just...? -Shall we shove him in the back seat? -OK. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
This could be fun. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
Here we go! | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
Perfect! | 0:16:32 | 0:16:33 | |
James, Phil and the stolen Spider are hustling 17 miles southeast | 0:16:40 | 0:16:45 | |
on their way to a picturesque little village called Otterton, | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
giving them plenty of time to bond over their love of fine food. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
-Where did you start? -I found a job in the Lake District which I loved, and I stayed there five years. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:58 | |
And that really got me into the food and fresh chickens and fresh fish... | 0:16:58 | 0:17:03 | |
Did that for a few years. Got very fed up then, | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
-and I got a job in Sussex at a place called Gravetye Manor. -I know Gravetye. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:10 | |
-We had out honeymoon night at Gravetye. -When? When was that? | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
-That would be 1986. -I was there then. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
-I was a sous-chef. -Mr... what was his name? -Peter Herbert. -Peter Herbert, yeah. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
-In 1986... -Yeah. -..I was the sous-chef there. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
Yes, well, we would have had your excellent cooking... We stayed there for two days. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
-Did you? -I sulked when I got to Skiathos because the food wasn't as good. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:34 | |
LAUGHTER I might have cooked you a meal! | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
Quite the bromance developing between these two! | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
As a passionate foodie, | 0:17:40 | 0:17:41 | |
Phil understands the importance of knowing where his raw ingredients come from, | 0:17:41 | 0:17:46 | |
so he should love the next stop. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
At Otterton Mill they've been producing flour for the community and surrounding area | 0:17:48 | 0:17:53 | |
using the same traditional process for nearly 1,000 years. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
Here's our man! | 0:17:57 | 0:17:58 | |
But miller Brian is taking a break from the daily grind to show them how it all works. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
I am indeed. I'm Brian, I'm the head miller here. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
-The head miller. -Welcome to Otterton Mill. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
The earliest record of the mill is from the Domesday Book of 1068 | 0:18:09 | 0:18:14 | |
which confirmed it as one of the most productive of 70 mills in Devon. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
1,000 years later, Otterton Mill is one of only a few watermills left in the area | 0:18:18 | 0:18:25 | |
that preserves the traditional process in a working museum and bakery. Perfect! | 0:18:25 | 0:18:30 | |
What a beautiful place! | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
What a lovely... Very good for the soul, isn't it, Brian, this river? | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
Running water is always extremely peaceful, isn't it? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
-It is peaceful, I agree. -Don't ask me why, but it is. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
Makes you want to go to the loo, though. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
Although the mill has been restored over the years, | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
the waterwheels that are still in use date back to 1827 and are powered by the River Otter. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:54 | |
Brian, are you going to give it some juice? Let's see some power. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
If we open this sluice now, we should be able to get the waterwheel to turn. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
-Look at that! -Straightaway! It's on! | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-That is amazing! -It's is, isn't it? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
Otterton's most famous miller is John Uglow, | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
milling here from 1843 to 1864. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
With his unique French burr stones he ground flour so fine it was delivered as far afield as Plymouth. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:23 | |
25kg bags of wheat are hoisted upstairs to be poured into the hopper. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:28 | |
Brian's roped in Phil to give him a hand. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
Stand by! | 0:19:31 | 0:19:32 | |
The bag going up. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
Thank you, Gerry. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:36 | |
25kg! | 0:19:36 | 0:19:37 | |
In it goes... | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
Come on! | 0:19:41 | 0:19:42 | |
When I first started work, I started work on the farm | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
and the bags of wheat then were two and a quarter hundredweights, | 0:19:45 | 0:19:50 | |
and we used to carry them on our backs. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
-That's 250 lbs? -That was quick for a fellow of your age! | 0:19:52 | 0:19:57 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
-250 lbs? On your back? -Yes. -Really? -Yes. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
Are you ready to start? We're ready up here! | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
-Yeah, I'm ready. -OK. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:08 | |
After Gerry opens and closes a combination of water sluices, | 0:20:09 | 0:20:14 | |
the water flow is enough to get the big wheel turning. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
And the wheel will very shortly start. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
-Hey presto! -As if by magic! | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
The wheat flows through the top millstone which revolves against the stationary bottom millstone, | 0:20:26 | 0:20:32 | |
grinding the grain into flour. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
Can they get too hot, the stones? | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
When we've milled for about an hour, the flour gets pleasantly warm. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:42 | |
When you taste our flour in a minute, you'll find that it's delightful. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
Originally around 25 farms in the local area used this mill, | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
paying the miller to grind their grain into stock feed | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
or selling it to the miller to grind for the baker. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
Here you are, gentlemen. | 0:20:58 | 0:20:59 | |
Feel the texture of it and then taste the flavour of it. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
Take a decent pinch of it and you will get the full flavour of it! | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
-Very good, isn't it? -And also it's a beautiful colour. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
A lovely colour. This sort of flour, I would use for a sourdough | 0:21:09 | 0:21:14 | |
or mix it with kibbled weeds or... to get almost a more rustic loaf. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:20 | |
What's a sourdough, then? | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
In the air, there's yeast flying around now. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
Wherever you are yeast is there, | 0:21:25 | 0:21:26 | |
and what you do is get your natural yeast in the air, mix this flour with water, | 0:21:26 | 0:21:31 | |
cover it in Clingfilm and leave it in a warm place, airing cupboard, | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
and the natural yeast will ferment. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
Mix it up, warm place, warm place, and over a period of time, | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
you'll get a bucket as big as you want. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
Half of that it then taken out, you make your bread as your leaven, | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
which is your yeast, you feed it, and the next day you use it again and again and again, | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
so it just keeps growing. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
-A friend of mine had one 15 years! -So you can make bread every day and just keep it going. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:57 | |
-For months and months... -It's very sad, but I did a lot of work on it. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
And it's time to put Phil's expertise to the test, | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
as Otterton has its very own bakery next door. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
So this it? This is where it all happens? | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
Yeah, this is where all the magic happens. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
Zac the baker has invited the chaps in for a bread-making masterclass, | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
not that James needs it, of course! | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
Mine looks jolly good! | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
Slightly worried about yours, Phil! | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
Looks OK to me, James! | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
Yours, on the other hand... | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
Yeuch! | 0:22:27 | 0:22:28 | |
Can I pop mine in the tin before I actually...? | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
Nobody will notice. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:34 | |
Nice work, James! | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
The master! | 0:22:36 | 0:22:37 | |
The master! | 0:22:38 | 0:22:39 | |
That's more like it! | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
This is a few loaves that were baked literally about ten minutes ago. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
Oh, rock on! | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
Look at that! Just perfect! | 0:22:47 | 0:22:51 | |
-Oh, a lovely, warm... -With that crust and that... | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
With butter! | 0:22:56 | 0:22:57 | |
-Cuts really well... -It must be a top bench. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
Very nice. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:05 | |
-Nice sweet edge to it. -Lovely! | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
-Why should it be nutty, then? -There's nowt taken out, love! | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 | |
Nowt taken out! It's all in the nowt! | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
Now, wash your hands! | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
So as Otterton's mill's big wheels keep on turning, so do ours, | 0:23:15 | 0:23:20 | |
and Phil and James are back on the road, as are Mark and Fern, | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
who have beetled their way from Hele 13 miles south to another little village called Woodbury, | 0:23:24 | 0:23:29 | |
just on the outskirts of Exeter. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
Well, I'm rather worried, you know, because Phillip and James seems to be hitting it off... | 0:23:33 | 0:23:38 | |
-He said we've got the same sort of taste, we're going with the same sort of thing. -That's good. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:43 | |
-Phil likes anything to do with fishing and shooting and that kind of country pursuit... -Ooh. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:50 | |
-It's not everyone's cup of tea. -It isn't. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
Whereas chicken-shaped seesaw heads. of course, are all the rage! | 0:23:53 | 0:23:57 | |
Next stop, Woodbury Antiques, AKA Rock Pie Antiques. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:02 | |
And just in time because Fern is suffering from a common problem associated with the VW. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:08 | |
Excuse me, I've just got a little bit of Beetle bottom! | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
Beetle bottom? | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
A twinkling cabinet of the shiny stuff has lured them in for a closer look. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
There's a silver teething ring there as well. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
-The one at the back is a marriage. -Is it a...? I know! I know! | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
-I know! -I just threw that one in! | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
-You slipped that bit of knowledge in there, didn't you? -I know. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
Crikey! A marriage is a term used in the trade meaning two separate items joined together. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
So Fern's been doing her homework! | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
-I tell you what! You have been watching these shows! -Told you! | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
Do you know what? I'm going. You don't need me. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
-No, please, come back. -OK. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:46 | |
Step aside, Mr Stacey. There's a new kid in town and she's come prepared. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:51 | |
Well, if only we had a glass to look to see if there was a mark. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
-I just might have... -Please, don't say you've got one on you! | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
I wouldn't have expected anything less! | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
Now, I haven't a clue what I'm looking at, but I'm looking good doing it. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
Yeah, Mark's been getting away with that for years! | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
What am I doing here? I don't know. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
Beats me! | 0:25:11 | 0:25:11 | |
He taught me everything I know. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
The mind boggles! | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
Having inspected the silver and found it wanting, it's time to browse forth | 0:25:15 | 0:25:19 | |
and there's an unusual little piece up ahead. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
-Oh, maybe it's like that... -Oh, I see. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
And then you put the books in and that pressures... | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
It's quite odd. Arts & Crafts. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
-Oh, hello! -Hello! | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
See? The minute he says Arts & Crafts, he's excited. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
-No, I'm not actually excited. -No, I'm not saying that, you just mentioned it. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:40 | |
They're like a pair of old ladies, these two! | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
-That is unusual, Fern. I've never seen anything like it. -No. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
And even when it's not got books in it, it's rather sculptural. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
So you could have it just as a talking point. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
To put your latest Virginia Woolf in there. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
-Do you write at all? -Yes. -Or your latest Fern Britton! | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
I happen to be number 4 in the Sunday Times bestseller list at the moment! | 0:25:59 | 0:26:04 | |
-Or your latest Phil Vickery cook book? -Ah! Actually... -His and hers. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:08 | |
He's got more than I have, he has. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
Aw, novelist, queen of daytime, ballroom dancer and now what about master negotiator? | 0:26:10 | 0:26:16 | |
Where's Jenny the shopkeeper? It's time to make an offer on the book holder. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
-We want to have a little chat about this... -Little springy thing. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
-It is a bookcase, isn't it? -It is, yes. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
-£22 you've got on here, Jane. -I have, indeed. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
We wouldn't be so rude as to ask what you paid for it, | 0:26:30 | 0:26:36 | |
-but what do you think we could pay for it, cash? -Have you got any ideas? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:42 | |
Yes, but you're not going to like it! | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
This is cheeky... | 0:26:44 | 0:26:45 | |
10? | 0:26:45 | 0:26:46 | |
That's very cheeky, but you read my mind. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
-She's telepathic too! -How about something more round about 16? | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
16? | 0:26:55 | 0:26:56 | |
£12? | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
-She's not giving up. -Well, that's quite a nice number, isn't it? | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
-It's a lovely number! -It's a round figure. -I think you could tempt me at 12. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:07 | |
Thank you, darling. I'm really thrilled with that. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
£12 for the lady, please. I'm not allowed to carry money. I'm like the Queen. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
Perhaps, but the Queen doesn't have one of those fetching bumbags to keep it in either. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:19 | |
Another oddity stashed for auction. Hurrah! | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
With their car boots bulging with booty, it's been a great day's shopping all round. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:27 | |
Time to turn in for the evening. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
Night-night, y'all. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
Behold a brand-new day with plunder to purchase. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
And there's nothing that gets you going more than life on the open road with the wind in your hair! | 0:27:36 | 0:27:42 | |
-Oh, lovely smell of petrol there. -Yes. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
We bought two items yesterday, almost all our budget. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
-Seriously? I don't believe you. -Yeah. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
When I phoned home last night, one of the girls said to me, | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
"Did Dad buy anything like a weapon?" | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
-A weapon? -She knows you. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
Daddy's little girl was right! | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
The likely lads splurged £280 of some African weapons and tools | 0:28:06 | 0:28:11 | |
and an ash bench on which to perch. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
They're £120 left to go wild with today. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:18 | |
-Happy with it? -Very. -I like it. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
Whereas this terrible twosome have spent £162 on the Black Forest bear, | 0:28:20 | 0:28:27 | |
the nurse and injured soldier, | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
the chook and an expanding book holder, leaving them £238 to splash before auction. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:36 | |
Oops! | 0:28:38 | 0:28:39 | |
The weather's still with us. I'm getting on really well with her. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:45 | |
-Are you? -Yeah, she's lovely, actually. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
-He's a very naughty boy. -He's a very naughty boy. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
And he makes me laugh! | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
-And we did all right. -You know what James reminds me of? | 0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | |
-He reminds me of a small child who doesn't pay attention... -Does he really? | 0:28:55 | 0:29:00 | |
Yeah, but looks like Jack Nicholson! | 0:29:00 | 0:29:02 | |
Crikey! He's right! | 0:29:04 | 0:29:06 | |
I think I'm going to call him Jack now...he's so sort of... like Jack and James. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:11 | |
I nearly did yesterday! | 0:29:11 | 0:29:13 | |
Here's Johnny! I mean, Jack... | 0:29:13 | 0:29:15 | |
no, James. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:16 | |
-Look at this. -A lovely beech wood. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
-It is lovely. -Beech has a lovely light, doesn't it? | 0:29:19 | 0:29:21 | |
The fortune hunters are taking their race for riches | 0:29:24 | 0:29:27 | |
30 miles south to the busy fishing town of Brixham. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
-Whey! -Well done! | 0:29:31 | 0:29:34 | |
How did the Beetle beat this mean machine, then? | 0:29:34 | 0:29:38 | |
-I've no idea! -I haven't got a clue. We haven't got a sat nav. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
What we need's an ice cream. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
-Right, let's go. The shops are this way. -Are you off? | 0:29:43 | 0:29:47 | |
Goodbye. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:49 | |
Quick! Before they get everything! | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
Looks like Fern and Mark are hitting it off too. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:54 | |
It makes you feel all warm inside! Well, maybe... | 0:29:54 | 0:29:58 | |
Brixham once had Britain's largest fishing fleet | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
and was the birthplace of the famous Brixham trawler. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
It's still a busy harbour today where pleasure-seekers come to see the replica | 0:30:07 | 0:30:11 | |
of Sir Francis Drake's ship the Golden Hind. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:15 | |
But there's no time for sightseeing on this trip. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
So here we are. "If I'm closed and you see anything, just leave a note," or ring! | 0:30:17 | 0:30:22 | |
Come on, you lazy lump! Get out of bed! | 0:30:22 | 0:30:25 | |
Peter, it's James Braxton from the Antiques Road Trip. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:29 | |
We're anxious, Phil Vickery and I, anxious to get in your shop. Bye. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:33 | |
Well, Phil, there we are. That's a good start to the day. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
That's unlucky, lads, especially as you've got quite a lot of shopping still to do. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:44 | |
Hoping to bust their budget on one final piece of precious plunder, | 0:30:44 | 0:30:48 | |
Mark and Fern have already arrived at just the shop. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:50 | |
Well, this looks like our shop. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
Owner Caroline's ready and waiting for the onslaught. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
-Good morning. -Hello, I'm Fern. How do you do? -Caroline. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
-Caroline? Caroline, here's Mark. -Pleased to meet you. -Nice to meet you. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:03 | |
-Are you feeling in a generous mood towards us? -Oh, I'm sure I can be. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
-As long as you don't upset me. -Ooh! -Ooh! -Fern, don't upset her. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:10 | |
-No, I won't. -I was thinking more of Mark than Fern! -Exactly! | 0:31:10 | 0:31:14 | |
Ah, she's seen your work, Mark! | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
Mark's obsession with owls continues. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
It could possibly be 500 years old but I don't think it is somehow, do you? | 0:31:22 | 0:31:27 | |
Well, it says 1567. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:29 | |
-1567...that's 7 minutes past 4. -Yes. -No, it's got all this... | 0:31:29 | 0:31:34 | |
Keep up, Fern! Of course, had it been that sort of date, we'd be talking tens of thousands. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:40 | |
-It would be marvellous, wouldn't it? -There's no price on it, it could be free. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:43 | |
I just think it's charming. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:46 | |
-There is a bit of charm there. -Look at those lovely eyes. It's like James Braxton after a red wine. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:52 | |
That's like James Braxton before a red wine! Speaking of which... | 0:31:52 | 0:31:56 | |
Peter's been on and he's going to be an hour. | 0:31:56 | 0:32:00 | |
So the boys are having to find other ways to entertain themselves. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:03 | |
I need an ice cream. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
- Hello! - Hi. | 0:32:05 | 0:32:06 | |
- Look at the ice cream! - It's over here. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:09 | |
I say! This is more fun than antiques shopping! I'll have a ripple! | 0:32:09 | 0:32:13 | |
When I was a kid, my grandma used to give us these. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:15 | |
All right? And we sued to get an old bottle, put that in the bottle, put warm water on it, | 0:32:15 | 0:32:21 | |
and that was our drink. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:23 | |
-LAUGHTER We used to call it grog. -Grog. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:25 | |
There you go! | 0:32:25 | 0:32:26 | |
Sounds revolting! | 0:32:27 | 0:32:29 | |
Thank you. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
-Mmm! Very good, isn't it? -I wonder if Peter's arrived yet? | 0:32:31 | 0:32:35 | |
Bad news. There's a queue forming outside the shop. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:38 | |
-Are you after Peter? -Yeah. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
Even the dog's after Peter. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
He better get a move on! Stop dribbling, you! | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
Meanwhile, just nearby... | 0:32:48 | 0:32:50 | |
-It's a bird. -I thought it was... -Trying to get in. -Trying to get in. What is that? | 0:32:50 | 0:32:56 | |
It's a cockatoo. It's trying to get out. It's locked in, it's all right. You'll be fine. | 0:32:56 | 0:33:01 | |
-Does he bite, then? -Well, he would you, cos he doesn't know you. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:05 | |
Well, he might because he does! | 0:33:05 | 0:33:07 | |
At least these two are in a shop, albeit with an angry old bird. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:10 | |
James and Phil are still hanging about outside, though. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
-12.30 now. -is it? When did we come here? 9. 30. -He said an hour, didn't he? | 0:33:13 | 0:33:18 | |
Yeah. Well, that's Devon for you, isn't it? | 0:33:18 | 0:33:22 | |
It's a slower pace of life. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:25 | |
-I'll tell you what, we'll give him half an hour. -We'll give him half an hour. -Then we'll have lunch. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
-Then we'll have lunch. -Then we'll just go home. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:30 | |
Don't give up hope, boys! There's still time. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:33 | |
They've almost drawn a blank in this little shop, but Mark's still eyeing up that bird... | 0:33:33 | 0:33:38 | |
no, the owl! | 0:33:38 | 0:33:40 | |
I like the fact it's handmade. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:42 | |
Yes. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:44 | |
-And the lovely colour, slipware. -It's quite an appealing thing. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:49 | |
-Thank you. Oh, you meant the jug? -No, the owl. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:51 | |
You don't like it at all? | 0:33:52 | 0:33:54 | |
It could be very interesting, | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
and I think people think it's interesting not necessarily because it's nice, | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
but because people thinks it's a famous one that went for hundreds of thousands. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:02 | |
-Which was Ollie the owl. -Ollie the owl. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:05 | |
It was Ozzy the Owl, actually. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:06 | |
The Staffordshire slipware jug valued at £20,000, although this is no Ozzy. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:11 | |
Mark knows how collectable owls can be, so he might be on to something. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:15 | |
I just think he's got something quirky about him. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
-If the price... -Is right. -If it was, say, £5... | 0:34:18 | 0:34:23 | |
I'd like...I'd go 20. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:25 | |
-Oh, no! -Now, you see... | 0:34:25 | 0:34:27 | |
-you understand that's not going to get us anywhere. -We're a pair of wise old owls, | 0:34:27 | 0:34:31 | |
-and we're not paying 20, are we? -Can't. -I might go to 5.50. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:35 | |
-Oh! -I mean, look at the damage. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:38 | |
You come up a bit and I'll drop down a bit. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:40 | |
Well, I think...you see, if it is £5 or £6, | 0:34:41 | 0:34:42 | |
-then we're going to get a little bit of profit in it, aren't we? -Yes, we are. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:46 | |
-If it's £20, I don't think we will. -We're not. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:49 | |
-We'll shake on that, I think. -On what? -6.50. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:53 | |
Oh! 6.50! | 0:34:53 | 0:34:55 | |
-Did you see that one coming? -She nearly got me then! | 0:34:55 | 0:34:57 | |
-That hand... -Look at it, it went straight down to me side. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:01 | |
Do you know, I've never seen anybody move so quick. Honestly! | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
-6. Go on, then. 6. -Yes? -Are you sure? -Yes. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:08 | |
-Go for it. Hand it over. -I'm really pleased, honestly. Thank you so much. -Thank you. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:12 | |
Well, you can't argue with that, can you? | 0:35:12 | 0:35:14 | |
They'0re fully stocked up on items to trade at auction | 0:35:14 | 0:35:17 | |
and they've only spent £168 of their £400 budget. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:21 | |
What a prudent pair! | 0:35:21 | 0:35:23 | |
They're tired, they're weary, but is their luck about to change? | 0:35:25 | 0:35:29 | |
Brixham Junk is their final hope for glory. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:32 | |
This is the moment they've been waiting for. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:35 | |
-MUSIC: "Star Wars" -Behold! Peter! | 0:35:35 | 0:35:37 | |
Does he hold the key to their success? | 0:35:37 | 0:35:41 | |
-RECORD STOPS -I doubt it! | 0:35:45 | 0:35:46 | |
It's all happening here, isn't it, Peter? | 0:35:46 | 0:35:49 | |
-So are we allowed to have a rummage? -Of course. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:52 | |
It's all 50 pence each, any five bits for a pound. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:54 | |
-So the prices factor isn't very difficult to understand. -OK. | 0:35:54 | 0:35:58 | |
How do you know what you've got, Peter? | 0:35:59 | 0:36:01 | |
It comes in every day and goes out every day. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:03 | |
I sold loads this morning, I sell loads of stuff every day. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
Busier than Tesco in here. It's mental. You couldn't make it up how busy it is. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:10 | |
I swapped a motorbike for a pair of speakers yesterday. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:14 | |
It's like Aladdin's Cave! | 0:36:14 | 0:36:16 | |
If Aladdin owned a jumble sale! | 0:36:16 | 0:36:18 | |
-This is where you find a bargain, isn't it? -It is. It really is. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:21 | |
-I don't think he knows what he's got. -No, hasn't a clue. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
Brixham Junk is one of the busiest shops in town and for good reason. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:27 | |
Goods of all types go in and out at a furious rate at knockdown prices. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:32 | |
There's something for everyone if you know what you're looking for. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:35 | |
-I got these this morning, gentlemen. This is just a tenner. -A tenner? What is this, then? | 0:36:35 | 0:36:40 | |
-Silver coins. -Silver coins? | 0:36:40 | 0:36:41 | |
-Full set. Must be worth a tenner. -Look at that! Look at that! | 0:36:41 | 0:36:45 | |
-There's one missing. -No, it's a full set. -Look at that! | 0:36:45 | 0:36:49 | |
-And they're silver? -They're definitely silver. -Tenner? | 0:36:49 | 0:36:52 | |
-It's got to be a have. -Got to be. -Peter, we'll take that one. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:54 | |
-Thank you. -It's a good start. -Top man! | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
These coins are to commemorate the 80th birthday of the Queen Mother, and are very collectable. | 0:36:57 | 0:37:02 | |
So that set could be a tasty little earner for them. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:05 | |
That's all right, sir, breakages don't have to be paid for in here! | 0:37:07 | 0:37:10 | |
There's even a sign up there, see? | 0:37:12 | 0:37:15 | |
This is a truly unique experience. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
Peter likes the bulk-buy approach, selling off his treats a box at a time, | 0:37:22 | 0:37:28 | |
so the lads are loading up. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:29 | |
These two. Look at these. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:31 | |
Go on, throw them over! | 0:37:31 | 0:37:32 | |
Here you go. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:36 | |
It's heavy! | 0:37:39 | 0:37:40 | |
Oh! Ow! | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
-You all right? -Yeah. -Watch that ball. -Look at that! | 0:37:43 | 0:37:46 | |
Peter can't believe his luck. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
That's quite nice. That's a Victorian sugar box. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
So pre-1894. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
And we've got pressed glass here... | 0:37:55 | 0:37:57 | |
we've got a rather mixed box, but we've got a silver dedication there. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:03 | |
-We should really get a good return on this. -We should get a good return. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:06 | |
-But the great thing about this, Phil, is Mark's going to go absolutely mental. -Why? | 0:38:06 | 0:38:11 | |
I doubt it! | 0:38:11 | 0:38:12 | |
Because he'll think it's some sort of infringement or something or slightly unfair. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:17 | |
And no...the real reason is that he can see a thumping profit in it. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:22 | |
Well, this has been the ultimate forage for fortunes and I'm not sure they've found any, | 0:38:22 | 0:38:27 | |
but they're ready to deal and Peter, of course, was born ready. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:30 | |
-How much do you want to give me for it? -I don't know, Peter. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:33 | |
-As little... Well, not as little as possible...we want to be fair. -As little as possible, go on. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:36 | |
Say a price. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:38 | |
-What, £2? -I've just had a heart attack. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:41 | |
-He's.. -The man was expecting a pound. -A fiver. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:47 | |
I'd be delighted with a fiver. | 0:38:47 | 0:38:49 | |
I think Peter's just glad to be rid of it. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:52 | |
But before they can make their getaway, | 0:38:52 | 0:38:54 | |
he's got a couple of beauties he's been keeping up his sleeve. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
A stylish pair of stepladders. Oh, God! | 0:38:57 | 0:39:02 | |
-These were in Vogue magazine, gentlemen. -These ones? | 0:39:02 | 0:39:05 | |
-They make them into bookcases. -No, they don't. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:08 | |
-How do they make them into bookcases, then, Peter? -What do you do? -I haven't got a clue, have I? | 0:39:08 | 0:39:12 | |
-Do you mean they open them up and then they put...? -Very fashionable, very, very fashionable. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:17 | |
They're stepladders! | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
And you don't use them as stepladders, then? | 0:39:19 | 0:39:21 | |
-No, of course you don't! That would be silly, wouldn't it? -Really? | 0:39:21 | 0:39:24 | |
Ridiculous! | 0:39:24 | 0:39:25 | |
So £20 for the pair? | 0:39:25 | 0:39:27 | |
-20? -£20, that's a bit... -How about 10? | 0:39:27 | 0:39:30 | |
-What, for the pair? -Yeah. -Nice pitch pine. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:33 | |
-A tenner would be very fair for the pair. -Would it? | 0:39:33 | 0:39:36 | |
Seriously, chaps, this isn't happening, is it? | 0:39:36 | 0:39:38 | |
I would not really expect to walk away with a couple of stepladders... | 0:39:38 | 0:39:43 | |
-But we only paid a tenner, they're a fiver each. -Fiver each. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:47 | |
-We've got to make something there. -Even the steps have got to be worth a fiver each! | 0:39:47 | 0:39:50 | |
Well, it's a good bit of kindling, isn't it? | 0:39:50 | 0:39:52 | |
Dear, oh, dear! James and Phil's shopping trip ends at the Brixham Junk Shop | 0:39:53 | 0:39:58 | |
where they've bought a set of silver coins, an assorted box of ornaments, and some ladders. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:03 | |
-Oh, blimey O'Reilley! -I'm worn out. -I'm worn out. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:08 | |
I need some lunch. | 0:40:08 | 0:40:10 | |
Blissfully unaware of the eventful morning, Fern and Mark are having their own ice cream | 0:40:10 | 0:40:16 | |
while getting to know each other a little better. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:18 | |
Of all the people you've interviewed, is there someone that stuck in your mind that you thought, | 0:40:18 | 0:40:23 | |
"That was wonderful!"? | 0:40:23 | 0:40:24 | |
-Yes, Desmond Tutu. -Oh! -He was funny, he was warm, he's an angel on earth! | 0:40:24 | 0:40:30 | |
-He is. -Unbelievable. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
I was allowed to go into his room where he had all his archives, all his passports, | 0:40:32 | 0:40:36 | |
all his doctorates, his Nobel Peace Prize, everything. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:39 | |
And I turned round and there he was, "Would you like a Ferrero Rocher?" | 0:40:39 | 0:40:41 | |
I mean, really just gorgeous! | 0:40:42 | 0:40:45 | |
I would have been tempted to say, "Monsieur Ambassador!" | 0:40:45 | 0:40:47 | |
I nearly did! | 0:40:48 | 0:40:50 | |
When it comes to lady writers with a yarn to spin, Fern's in excellent company, | 0:40:50 | 0:40:55 | |
as just west of Brixham is the holiday home of crime queen Agatha Christie. | 0:40:55 | 0:41:00 | |
MUSIC: "Murder She Wrote" Theme | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
She created iconic sleuths Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple | 0:41:03 | 0:41:08 | |
and her 66 detective novels have sold around four billion copies worldwide. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:14 | |
House steward Lucinda Heron's here to meet them. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
-we're so pleased. -We're so excited, aren't we? -We're so excited. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
-We've been really waiting. -It's been murder waiting to come, hasn't it? | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
Fern's latest novel is called The Holiday Home, | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
sp where better to come for a shot of inspiration than Greenway House, | 0:41:28 | 0:41:32 | |
where Agatha, her husband Max and their daughter spent their holidays? | 0:41:32 | 0:41:36 | |
-Oh, there's a lovely feel, isn't there? -Wow! | 0:41:36 | 0:41:39 | |
-It's like a real home, isn't it? -Exactly! | 0:41:39 | 0:41:42 | |
The house was taken over by the National Trust | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
and has been restored exactly as Agatha and her family left it, | 0:41:45 | 0:41:49 | |
decor, furniture, collections, the lot. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:52 | |
I've noticed something rather dangerous lurking over there. What is that? | 0:41:52 | 0:41:56 | |
-It's a box of homeopathic remedies. -Oh, yeah. | 0:41:56 | 0:41:58 | |
Agatha was trained to be a dispensing chemist. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:00 | |
-She worked at that in the First World War and the Second World War. -Wow! | 0:42:00 | 0:42:03 | |
And this obviously belonged to her. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:05 | |
And they're well and truly tied down because some of the little vials have still got liquid in the bottom, | 0:42:05 | 0:42:10 | |
so we wouldn't want the visitors getting hold of them. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:12 | |
And there's one, if you look over here, there's hyoscine, | 0:42:12 | 0:42:17 | |
and the obviously used that as a poison in one of her stories, so... | 0:42:17 | 0:42:20 | |
-Oh! So that's how she knew about the poisons? -She could have poisoned you. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:26 | |
She knew exactly what she was doing. | 0:42:26 | 0:42:28 | |
Agatha's unique brand of whodunit murder mysteries has been adapted for film and TV many times over, | 0:42:28 | 0:42:36 | |
and Poirot and Marple made all the more memorable who portrayed them. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:41 | |
Are you a Poirot or a Marple? | 0:42:43 | 0:42:45 | |
-Well, I like both of them, to be honest. -You see, I'm a Marple person. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:50 | |
-You like Marple? -Who's your favourite Miss Marple? | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
-Without a shadow of a doubt, Margaret Rutherford. -Yeah. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:55 | |
-It's just that tune... -HE HUMS THE THEME TUNE | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
-And she used to walk with her bosoms forward! -Yes, absolutely, | 0:42:58 | 0:43:02 | |
-But very British stuff and nonsense, stoic. -Yes. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:07 | |
You know, what ever you throw at me, best foot forward! | 0:43:07 | 0:43:11 | |
During the Second World War, Greenway House was a home for evacuated children | 0:43:12 | 0:43:16 | |
before being requisitioned by the US Navy. | 0:43:16 | 0:43:19 | |
-Oh, I love this, -It is beautiful. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:21 | |
The library shows a frieze of US Coast Guard Flotilla 10's personal story, | 0:43:21 | 0:43:24 | |
painted by Lieutenant Marshall Lee which Agatha kept when the house was finally returned to her. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:33 | |
It really feels like she's just got up and put the kettle on in another room. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:36 | |
Right to the fact that she left her chocolates on the table. | 0:43:36 | 0:43:39 | |
-Oh, look at that! -Dame Agatha, thank you! | 0:43:39 | 0:43:42 | |
Hands off, Mark! | 0:43:42 | 0:43:44 | |
Agatha set three novels at Greenway House, | 0:43:45 | 0:43:48 | |
and when you enter the drawing room it's easy to see where she drew her inspiration from. | 0:43:48 | 0:43:53 | |
This is where she would have Poirot make sure that everybody understood why they were gathered together. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:59 | |
-Oh, yes. -That's right, yes. | 0:43:59 | 0:44:01 | |
To discover who the murderer is. | 0:44:01 | 0:44:03 | |
"Mr Poirot, you're imagination's running wild!" | 0:44:03 | 0:44:07 | |
-Exactly, as they reach into their handbag to pull out a small pistol. -That's right. | 0:44:07 | 0:44:10 | |
-This is the room where apparently she would try her stories out on her house guests... -No! | 0:44:10 | 0:44:15 | |
..For the very first time, and she'd be sitting in this chair here. | 0:44:15 | 0:44:19 | |
Se would sit and try her stories out and see what everybody thought before they were published. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:24 | |
And apparently Max, her husband, would doze off and then he would wake up and tell everyone who'd done it. | 0:44:24 | 0:44:29 | |
Road Trip's very own budding detectives have had a short glimpse into the life of Agatha Christie, | 0:44:30 | 0:44:36 | |
but it's time to get going. | 0:44:36 | 0:44:37 | |
-We must say goodbye because we have a mystery of our own to solve. -Oh, right? -We do. -Well, good luck. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:42 | |
The mystery of who's going to win. | 0:44:42 | 0:44:43 | |
We'll find out whodunit later. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:46 | |
First it's time to look at each other's finds. | 0:44:46 | 0:44:48 | |
Greenway has its very own quay on the River Dart where the grand unveiling is about to take place. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:53 | |
OK, ready, 1, 2, 3. | 0:44:54 | 0:44:57 | |
-Look at that! -Wow! | 0:44:57 | 0:45:00 | |
-Treasures all! -Wow! | 0:45:00 | 0:45:02 | |
Phil's lost for words. Wow! | 0:45:02 | 0:45:04 | |
-Isn't that wonderful? -He's fun, isn't he? -He's great fun. | 0:45:04 | 0:45:08 | |
-Is it a he? -I think so, because he's got... | 0:45:08 | 0:45:12 | |
No, it's not, it's a chicken. Because look it's got the crown and the liverage. | 0:45:12 | 0:45:17 | |
-Yes. Price? -£30. | 0:45:17 | 0:45:19 | |
-Could we get £30 back for it? -And a little bit more, I think. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:23 | |
And then our major bit is the little crested figure here | 0:45:23 | 0:45:29 | |
-of a nurse attending an injured Tommy. -Yeah. -In the war. | 0:45:29 | 0:45:33 | |
And it's actually a very rare Arcadian model. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:36 | |
And how much did you buy it for? | 0:45:36 | 0:45:38 | |
-We bought it for 90. -That's all right. -No! -80. | 0:45:38 | 0:45:40 | |
-We bought it for 80. -80? | 0:45:40 | 0:45:43 | |
-Wow! -But that should be worth £150-200 next week. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:48 | |
-Yeah. -Our little duck was from today. -It's an owl. | 0:45:48 | 0:45:51 | |
-Did I say duck? -You did, darling. | 0:45:51 | 0:45:54 | |
-Do you know, I don't know my birds any more. -No, you don't. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:57 | |
-It's very damaged. -This is an owl. He is very damaged and he is an a poor state. | 0:45:57 | 0:46:02 | |
-He is 1655. -As it says on the front. -1567, it was made. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:07 | |
-Is it not 19...what was it? -1567. -It's 1957. | 0:46:07 | 0:46:11 | |
No, 1567 it was made. It's got the date on it. | 0:46:11 | 0:46:14 | |
-Must be right! -We know it's very poor quality, we know it's got chips... -It's not poor quality! | 0:46:14 | 0:46:19 | |
-But the charm here... -The charm is wonderful. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:23 | |
Do you know what? I love this! | 0:46:23 | 0:46:25 | |
-I love them. -He's being horrible, isn't he? -I love them! | 0:46:26 | 0:46:30 | |
People in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones. | 0:46:30 | 0:46:32 | |
One, two, three... | 0:46:32 | 0:46:35 | |
-Ooh! -Those are good lots for a Somerset sale, actually. | 0:46:36 | 0:46:40 | |
That bench is gorgeous. | 0:46:40 | 0:46:42 | |
Now, we absolutely love that bench. | 0:46:42 | 0:46:44 | |
Underneath is the bark still and it's been used, it's wonderful. | 0:46:44 | 0:46:50 | |
-It's lovely. It's got a lovely grain. -Yeah, we love that. | 0:46:50 | 0:46:53 | |
I love that, and I love that simple... | 0:46:53 | 0:46:54 | |
-It just goes on. -That technique, to put the legs in, it's really lovely. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:59 | |
We sat on it and we felt it and thought this is fantastic. | 0:46:59 | 0:47:02 | |
What did you pay for it? | 0:47:02 | 0:47:04 | |
Have a guess. | 0:47:04 | 0:47:04 | |
200. | 0:47:04 | 0:47:06 | |
-Very good. 160. -160. | 0:47:06 | 0:47:08 | |
It's a nice thing. And it's a good item for a ... | 0:47:08 | 0:47:11 | |
It's a punt. Then... | 0:47:11 | 0:47:13 | |
the artefacts, I just love. That was a fishing spear and you can see where the holes were. | 0:47:13 | 0:47:17 | |
African tribal. | 0:47:17 | 0:47:19 | |
Lovely, absolutely. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:21 | |
-I think they're the Ndonga tribe from South Africa. -Yeah. | 0:47:21 | 0:47:24 | |
Anyway... | 0:47:25 | 0:47:26 | |
What do you think of our ladders? | 0:47:26 | 0:47:29 | |
Well, there's a pair. | 0:47:29 | 0:47:30 | |
It just demonstrates the level of what we were working with! | 0:47:30 | 0:47:34 | |
-Really? -But for a fiver each, we thought. -I love them. | 0:47:34 | 0:47:36 | |
-I love them. If somebody wants a ladder for a fiver... -I think they're fab! | 0:47:36 | 0:47:40 | |
And I think they're perfect for that sale, honestly. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:43 | |
Those should make, I think, at least 12. | 0:47:43 | 0:47:46 | |
That much? | 0:47:46 | 0:47:47 | |
Behind you. Just stand up, please. | 0:47:47 | 0:47:49 | |
-Oh! -Oh, God! | 0:47:50 | 0:47:52 | |
Oh, my goodness! One big box of stuff. | 0:47:52 | 0:47:57 | |
It's all individual rubbish! | 0:47:57 | 0:47:59 | |
-24-carat gold... -Damaged, chipped... | 0:47:59 | 0:48:01 | |
but that's about the best we could do there. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:04 | |
Well, you did very well. | 0:48:04 | 0:48:05 | |
-And we paid for that...was it 5? -£5. | 0:48:05 | 0:48:08 | |
-OK. -Well done, boys! -Well done. Great. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:11 | |
-Brilliant. -Very good. -Good luck at auction. -See you there. | 0:48:11 | 0:48:14 | |
Neither team seems too impressed, so this should be interesting. | 0:48:14 | 0:48:19 | |
It's time to spill the beans. | 0:48:19 | 0:48:20 | |
I think that went really well. | 0:48:20 | 0:48:22 | |
I don't honestly think the other items they bought are that great. | 0:48:23 | 0:48:29 | |
I don't understand spears and African art. | 0:48:29 | 0:48:32 | |
-They paid a lot for those, £120. -They did. -It's quite a lot. | 0:48:32 | 0:48:36 | |
That green thing, even though it's damaged... | 0:48:36 | 0:48:37 | |
-The green vase... -It's great looking, but it's damaged... | 0:48:37 | 0:48:41 | |
-That's not going to make £100? -No. -No. | 0:48:41 | 0:48:44 | |
-Whoever wins, I don't care! -No. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:47 | |
-We've had such a laugh. -Really, really good fun. | 0:48:47 | 0:48:49 | |
Tell you what, I feel a bit sorry for them! | 0:48:49 | 0:48:52 | |
Now, now, Mr Vickery! The proof of the pudding is in the eating as you very well know. | 0:48:52 | 0:48:56 | |
The auction is in the South Somerset town of Crewkerne which grew up around the textile industry. | 0:48:56 | 0:49:02 | |
They used to make sails for the Royal Navy here. | 0:49:02 | 0:49:05 | |
-If you win, I will make you a cup of tea in the morning. -Yeah. | 0:49:06 | 0:49:11 | |
-For a week. -A week? | 0:49:11 | 0:49:13 | |
Yeah. That's plenty. | 0:49:13 | 0:49:14 | |
So if you win, I will cook you your favourite supper, whatever you want, for seven days. | 0:49:14 | 0:49:20 | |
OK. Shake. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:22 | |
I can't help thinking Fern's got the better end of this deal! | 0:49:23 | 0:49:26 | |
Lawrence's Auction in Crewkerne specialises in fine art, collectables and sporting sales, | 0:49:26 | 0:49:32 | |
and the expert team there have a combined experience of over 200 years. Wow! | 0:49:32 | 0:49:37 | |
-Morning, boys! -Morning. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:39 | |
The sun is out, gentlemen! | 0:49:39 | 0:49:41 | |
You're looking good. | 0:49:41 | 0:49:44 | |
The hero with the hammer at the helm of today's sale is Richard Kay | 0:49:44 | 0:49:49 | |
who has his own thoughts on our lots. | 0:49:49 | 0:49:51 | |
There are some interesting pieces, some that might struggle a little bit more. | 0:49:51 | 0:49:55 | |
There is a very unusual item which is a metal cast head of a cockerel | 0:49:55 | 0:50:00 | |
such as one might find on a playground seesaw. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:03 | |
Of rather limited appeal, but I daresay to somebody who's got the other end of the seesaw, | 0:50:03 | 0:50:08 | |
it could be worth £50 0r £60. | 0:50:08 | 0:50:10 | |
There is a quite a nice piece of good honest country furniture which is the long ash bench, | 0:50:10 | 0:50:15 | |
perfect for a farmhouse kitchen. There are plenty of those within 20 miles of where we're standing now. | 0:50:15 | 0:50:19 | |
So that we hope will be worth between £80-120. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:23 | |
Nifty thrifty duo Fern and Mark only spend £168 of their starting £400 to buy five lots for auction. | 0:50:24 | 0:50:33 | |
He taught me everything I know. | 0:50:33 | 0:50:35 | |
Whereas Phil and James forked out £305 of their £400, also amassing five lots. | 0:50:35 | 0:50:42 | |
Well, it's a good bit of kindling, isn't it? | 0:50:42 | 0:50:44 | |
The clash of the treasure-seeking titans is about to commence. | 0:50:44 | 0:50:48 | |
Here we go! Shh! | 0:50:48 | 0:50:50 | |
Ssh! Oh, sorry, Fern. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:51 | |
First up is her and Mark's Black Forest bear. | 0:50:51 | 0:50:55 | |
Will it do a roaring trade? | 0:50:55 | 0:50:57 | |
Small Black Forest bear model seated there. £10 for it? | 0:50:57 | 0:51:01 | |
£10 is bid. Opening bid at 10. 12 now. | 0:51:01 | 0:51:05 | |
You bidding? 15. | 0:51:05 | 0:51:06 | |
£15. It's near me. It's nearer me,. Lady's bid at £15. | 0:51:06 | 0:51:10 | |
-18. -Yes! -At 18. | 0:51:10 | 0:51:12 | |
Gosh! That's a beautiful bear! That's absolutely lovely... | 0:51:12 | 0:51:15 | |
-Sorry, sorry. What a fabulous bear. -£18. 20. | 0:51:15 | 0:51:19 | |
Are you together? No. 20 now. Gentleman's bid at 20. | 0:51:19 | 0:51:23 | |
At £20, and I'm selling. | 0:51:24 | 0:51:26 | |
Oh! | 0:51:26 | 0:51:27 | |
-You've got an extra £2. -What was the loss on that one? | 0:51:27 | 0:51:30 | |
Don't ask, Phil! | 0:51:30 | 0:51:32 | |
Despite Fern's efforts, the little bear makes a big loss. | 0:51:32 | 0:51:35 | |
I prefer to be going upwards rather than down. | 0:51:36 | 0:51:39 | |
Phil and James are hoping for an out-of-this-world price | 0:51:39 | 0:51:43 | |
for their African artefacts. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:45 | |
£20 for them all. £20 is bid. 25. 30. | 0:51:45 | 0:51:49 | |
-35. -Oh! -40. 45. 50. 55. 60. | 0:51:49 | 0:51:52 | |
65. 70. 75. 75! | 0:51:52 | 0:51:55 | |
Gentleman's bid at 75 and I'm selling now at £75. All done at 75? | 0:51:55 | 0:52:01 | |
Oh, dear! | 0:52:01 | 0:52:02 | |
I tell you, that was creeping up then. | 0:52:02 | 0:52:04 | |
Not creeping enough though! | 0:52:04 | 0:52:06 | |
Another crashing loss. A bad start for both teams. | 0:52:06 | 0:52:10 | |
I'm not gloating. I never gloat. It's so unattractive! | 0:52:10 | 0:52:14 | |
Can Fern and Mark cash in on the rare crestware nurse and soldier? | 0:52:14 | 0:52:18 | |
Interest here, bids start at 45. £50 is bid. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:23 | |
-£50 is bid. -Come on. -55. 60. 65. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:26 | |
70. 75. 80. 85. | 0:52:26 | 0:52:28 | |
-90. 95. It's 95 in the room. -This is better. | 0:52:28 | 0:52:33 | |
£95. At 95 on my left. Are we done elsewhere? | 0:52:33 | 0:52:36 | |
-Last time at £95. -It should have made a lot more. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:40 | |
It stopped. It should have made a lot more. | 0:52:40 | 0:52:41 | |
Unfortunately, the bidders didn't agree. | 0:52:41 | 0:52:44 | |
But it's profit nonetheless. | 0:52:44 | 0:52:47 | |
-That was a small profit. -We made £15. -Are we happy with that^? | 0:52:47 | 0:52:50 | |
Phil and James step up with their next lot, the ladders. | 0:52:51 | 0:52:55 | |
Can they elevate their chances of success? | 0:52:55 | 0:52:58 | |
£5 I have for these. At £5, will anyone go higher on them? Ha-ha! | 0:52:58 | 0:53:03 | |
£8 is bid and I'm out. | 0:53:03 | 0:53:05 | |
£8 and I'm selling at 8. | 0:53:05 | 0:53:07 | |
At £8 in the room. Quickly at 8. Last time at 8. | 0:53:07 | 0:53:10 | |
Aw! | 0:53:10 | 0:53:11 | |
£8! | 0:53:11 | 0:53:13 | |
Another loss for Phil and James. | 0:53:14 | 0:53:17 | |
That's disappointing. | 0:53:17 | 0:53:18 | |
-Oh, darling! -It's a disaster! | 0:53:18 | 0:53:22 | |
But chin up! It's Fern and Mark's fairground chook next. | 0:53:23 | 0:53:27 | |
I'm bid £30 here. | 0:53:27 | 0:53:29 | |
Wonderful, we've covered it. | 0:53:29 | 0:53:30 | |
45 and I'm out. It's £45. | 0:53:30 | 0:53:32 | |
50, new bidder. 55. | 0:53:32 | 0:53:35 | |
55, it's on my left. I'm selling at £55. | 0:53:35 | 0:53:38 | |
-Fabulous, it's very rare! -At £55. | 0:53:38 | 0:53:40 | |
Who are these people? £55. | 0:53:40 | 0:53:42 | |
-I'm selling at £55. Now at £55. -Whoo! | 0:53:42 | 0:53:47 | |
The little chicken turned out to be a prize bird. | 0:53:47 | 0:53:50 | |
Well done. | 0:53:50 | 0:53:51 | |
-I told you you should buy that, didn't I? -Yes, you did! All right! | 0:53:51 | 0:53:55 | |
That's why you're the expert! | 0:53:55 | 0:53:57 | |
Next up, could Phil and James be in the money | 0:53:57 | 0:53:59 | |
with their commemorative coins? | 0:53:59 | 0:54:01 | |
-Bid's here, start me at £50. I have a £50. -Good luck, boys, good luck. -60. | 0:54:01 | 0:54:05 | |
65 now. 65 on my far left. I'll sell at 65. | 0:54:05 | 0:54:10 | |
Are we done elsewhere at 65? And I'm selling last time. | 0:54:10 | 0:54:14 | |
Oh! | 0:54:14 | 0:54:15 | |
It's a jolly good profit! | 0:54:15 | 0:54:17 | |
At last! The boys are back in the game! | 0:54:17 | 0:54:20 | |
Let's hope they can keep it up. | 0:54:20 | 0:54:22 | |
-Look at his face! -I've lived with this for 15 years! | 0:54:22 | 0:54:26 | |
-Oh! -Nobody knows how I've suffered. -Not for much longer! | 0:54:26 | 0:54:29 | |
Can Fern and Mark extend their lead with the unusual book holder? | 0:54:32 | 0:54:37 | |
What shall we say? £10 for that? | 0:54:37 | 0:54:38 | |
-£10 for it? £10 somewhere. -It's beautiful! -5. | 0:54:38 | 0:54:42 | |
-At £10. 5 anywhere? 5 is bid. -Oh! -8 now. -Come on! | 0:54:42 | 0:54:46 | |
10. 12. £12, gentleman's bid. | 0:54:46 | 0:54:49 | |
-Selling at 12. 15. -It's cheap. | 0:54:49 | 0:54:52 | |
15. You bidding? £15. | 0:54:52 | 0:54:54 | |
£15. I'm selling in the room at 15. Are we done? At £15. | 0:54:54 | 0:54:59 | |
-Way too much. -That's disappointing. -Way too much. -That's disappointing. | 0:54:59 | 0:55:04 | |
Is it? A tiny profit, but it was barely worth the effort. | 0:55:04 | 0:55:07 | |
At least it's a profit! | 0:55:07 | 0:55:09 | |
-It's a profit. -After commission, it's gone. | 0:55:09 | 0:55:13 | |
Actually it's about 30p profit but let's not quibble! | 0:55:13 | 0:55:16 | |
It's James and Phil's ornamental lucky dip up next. | 0:55:16 | 0:55:20 | |
-Household ornaments, crockery and collectable items. -Ooh! | 0:55:20 | 0:55:23 | |
-One of the collectable items showing to you there. -Where? -Whoop! Whoop! | 0:55:23 | 0:55:27 | |
£10 for this lot, if you will. | 0:55:27 | 0:55:30 | |
£10 for it. | 0:55:30 | 0:55:31 | |
£10 anywhere. £5, then? | 0:55:31 | 0:55:33 | |
Oh, dear. £5, anywhere? At £5. 5 is big. Thank you. At £5. | 0:55:33 | 0:55:39 | |
At £450,000 I'll sell. It's £5 only. | 0:55:39 | 0:55:42 | |
Are we done at £5? Last time. | 0:55:42 | 0:55:44 | |
-Ah. -We broke even. | 0:55:44 | 0:55:47 | |
Despite that disappointment, there's still very little between the teams. | 0:55:47 | 0:55:52 | |
It all rests on the final two lots. | 0:55:52 | 0:55:55 | |
They're laughing again! You have to laugh! | 0:55:55 | 0:55:58 | |
We must! | 0:55:58 | 0:55:59 | |
The Ozzie wannabe slipware jug is up next. | 0:55:59 | 0:56:02 | |
Hopefully there are some owl fans in the house. | 0:56:02 | 0:56:05 | |
Bid's here, start me at 40. 45. 50. | 0:56:05 | 0:56:09 | |
55. £60 is bid. | 0:56:09 | 0:56:11 | |
65. 70. | 0:56:11 | 0:56:13 | |
75. 80. | 0:56:13 | 0:56:15 | |
85. 90. | 0:56:16 | 0:56:17 | |
-You bidding? 95 now. At £95. -Told you! | 0:56:17 | 0:56:20 | |
At 95 and I'm out. It's in the room. Are you bidding? | 0:56:20 | 0:56:23 | |
100. | 0:56:23 | 0:56:24 | |
-Go on! -100. 110. | 0:56:24 | 0:56:27 | |
It's 110, ladies and gentlemen. | 0:56:27 | 0:56:29 | |
110. At £110. Then I'm selling at 110. | 0:56:29 | 0:56:33 | |
Are we clear? 5087, thank you. | 0:56:33 | 0:56:35 | |
-Whoo! -Well done! | 0:56:35 | 0:56:37 | |
-Well done. -Thank you. | 0:56:37 | 0:56:39 | |
What a surprise. Mark's fascination for owls paid off, | 0:56:39 | 0:56:42 | |
taking Fern and Mark into the lead. | 0:56:42 | 0:56:45 | |
It's so unfair! I'm going off her! | 0:56:45 | 0:56:47 | |
It all lies with Phil and James' beautiful farmhouse bench. | 0:56:48 | 0:56:52 | |
Can this lovely piece of ash bring them wads of cash? | 0:56:52 | 0:56:57 | |
Interest here. Bid's start me at 75. 85. £90 is bid. | 0:56:57 | 0:57:02 | |
£90 I have. At £90. | 0:57:02 | 0:57:04 | |
At £90. At £90. I'm selling. It's on commission. | 0:57:04 | 0:57:08 | |
At £90. It's against you in the room. For the last time then at 90. | 0:57:08 | 0:57:12 | |
-Oh, gosh! I thought you were going to be in profit then. -Me too! | 0:57:12 | 0:57:16 | |
A disastrous sale for Phil and James. But Fern can enjoy a slap-up feast | 0:57:16 | 0:57:22 | |
for a week, courtesy of Phil! | 0:57:22 | 0:57:24 | |
After all, a deal's a deal! | 0:57:24 | 0:57:26 | |
James, come on. It's not the winning that counts, it's the taking part. | 0:57:26 | 0:57:31 | |
I'm going to shake your hand again! | 0:57:31 | 0:57:32 | |
It's the taking part! | 0:57:32 | 0:57:35 | |
-It's the winning. -No. | 0:57:35 | 0:57:36 | |
Both celebrities started with £400. | 0:57:37 | 0:57:40 | |
Phil and James took a hefty hit | 0:57:42 | 0:57:43 | |
and after auction costs made a loss of £105.75, leaving them with only... | 0:57:43 | 0:57:49 | |
Fern and Mark did marginally better. | 0:57:53 | 0:57:56 | |
And after costs made a profit of £73.90, | 0:57:56 | 0:57:59 | |
resulting in a finishing budget of... | 0:57:59 | 0:58:03 | |
All profits large and small go to Children In Need. | 0:58:03 | 0:58:06 | |
Well, I tell you what, Mark, that was amazing! | 0:58:07 | 0:58:11 | |
I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. | 0:58:11 | 0:58:13 | |
It wasn't supposed to happen that way. | 0:58:13 | 0:58:16 | |
Well, it was for us! | 0:58:16 | 0:58:18 | |
-It's been fantastic. -It has been. Phil. | 0:58:18 | 0:58:21 | |
It's been great. | 0:58:21 | 0:58:22 | |
Do you feel like driving? You can drive the winner home! | 0:58:22 | 0:58:25 | |
Ooh, nice one! | 0:58:25 | 0:58:27 | |
-They're like an old married couple! -They are, they're worse than we are! | 0:58:27 | 0:58:30 | |
-Bye, boys! -Bye. | 0:58:30 | 0:58:31 | |
All right, loser? | 0:58:31 | 0:58:33 | |
Humble in victory as ever, our Mr Stacey! | 0:58:33 | 0:58:35 | |
Bon voyage! | 0:58:35 | 0:58:37 | |
