0:00:02 > 0:00:04'Some of the nation's favourite celebrities.'
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Why have I got expensive tastes?
0:00:07 > 0:00:12- 'One antiques expert each.' - How much would this thing cost?
0:00:12 > 0:00:19'And one big challenge - who can seek out and buy the best antiques at the very best prices...'
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Answers on a postcard.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26'..and auction for a big profit further down the road?'
0:00:26 > 0:00:28I think he's rather super.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31'Who will spot good investments and listen to advice?'
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- You like it?- I think it's horrible.
0:00:33 > 0:00:38'And 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 > 0:00:42'Time to put your pedal to the metal.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45'This is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49'Yeah!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54'Today, Celebrity Antiques Road Trip is a family feud.'
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I'll do the honourable thing.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00'Featuring Judith "Wish You Were Here" Chalmers.'
0:01:00 > 0:01:05- Tell me you will not nag at me when I'm driving.- Your father says that.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09'And her son, Mark "Are We There Yet?" Durden-Smith.'
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Did my father woo you in a vehicle like this?
0:01:12 > 0:01:16The tales of your romance involved a car with a walnut dash.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- There's no back seat, is there? - Why? You expecting someone?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24'Ha-ha! We don't use the word "legend" lightly on Road Trip,
0:01:24 > 0:01:29'but when a woman with more than six decades of broadcasting experience appears,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32'that's the only way to describe her.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34'From a BBC starlet in the '40s and '50s
0:01:34 > 0:01:37'presenting news and quaffing champagne,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40'to four decades spent trotting the globe,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43'Judith Chalmers has had a long and well-travelled career -
0:01:43 > 0:01:45'and has the postcards to prove it.'
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Ready to go?- Oh, yes! - Let the hen-pecking begin.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52ENGINE ROARS 'Listen to that! It's wonderful!'
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Tally ho!
0:01:54 > 0:01:59'Driving a dashing 1974 Triumph TR6 is Judith's favourite and only son,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01'Mark Durden-Smith.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04'Mark presents rugby for Sky and ITV,
0:02:04 > 0:02:08'but his boyish charm and quick wit has seen him present This Morning,
0:02:08 > 0:02:12'the National Lottery Draw and I'm A Celebrity.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15'He's even done his bit for Sport Relief.'
0:02:15 > 0:02:19It's a fabulous morning in the middle of Britain and it's glorious.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22But it's about to turn nasty as families go to war.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- I want to win! - You're a competitive lady!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28We'll have a lovely time. It'll be a fair fight.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- I think it's so exciting to be doing something with you.- I agree.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37I hope at Christmas it's not awkward if I happen to have won.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39We'll see about that.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43'So, which experts are going to help settle this family feud?
0:02:43 > 0:02:48'In a gorgeous 1984 Mercedes SL are the men from Delmonte!
0:02:48 > 0:02:50'In the hat is James Lewis.'
0:02:50 > 0:02:54It's quite appropriate. I feel as if we're going on holiday.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57'And in the suit, it's Paul Laidlaw.'
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- What could you be referring to? - I wished you were here and you are!
0:03:01 > 0:03:03'Paul Laidlaw is an expert in militaria
0:03:03 > 0:03:08'and has been collecting everything from bottles to shells since he was a boy.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11'Now, he's collecting TV presenters
0:03:11 > 0:03:13'and hoping for a national treasure today.'
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- The legend that is Judith Chalmers! - I know.- Holy Moses!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- I grew up watching her. - Didn't we all?!
0:03:20 > 0:03:22'I know I did.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26'Gentleman James Lewis is an expert in porcelain, ceramics and paintings,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30'but can he tell his vintage beauties apart today?'
0:03:30 > 0:03:34The funny thing is, when I used to do a certain other antiques show,
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Gloria Hunniford said, "People always think I'm Judith Chalmers!"
0:03:39 > 0:03:44I'm just wondering if people think Judith Chalmers is Gloria Hunniford!
0:03:44 > 0:03:49So, do you have a preference - Mark or Judith?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Mark's a rugby union man, isn't he? - So I believe.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- Are you a rugby man?- I like rugby. - Yeah.- I do like rugby.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Um...prefer holidays, though!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01BOTH LAUGH
0:04:01 > 0:04:05'It looks like it'll be Mark and Paul against James and Judith.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10'Where are we going to be wishing we were on this Road Trip?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14'Both of our jet-set teams will enjoy lovely British weather
0:04:14 > 0:04:17'as they spend their £400 starting off just outside Evesham,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20'travelling through the beautiful English counties
0:04:20 > 0:04:23'of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26'They'll meander in an out of the stunning Cotswolds
0:04:26 > 0:04:29'and finish at auction in Stroud.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33'Before they hit Evesham, time for an early tea break.'
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- This is what you did all day on Wish You Were Here.- Of course(!)
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- Everybody thinks you just went on holiday.- What DID you do?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45We left the hotel at half past seven in the morning
0:04:45 > 0:04:51and we got back after the inevitable folk dancing at half past ten at night.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Always folk dancing! - Folk dancing around the world!
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- Ah!- They're here! - Oh, I say! Don't they look smart!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I wanted debonair! We've got debonair!
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Hello, James. - Good to see you.- Hello.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Yes, I recognise you.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Have a lovely time, you two, but it's needle!- From here on in, yes.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16The mother-son relationship often fraught and tension filled.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18After you.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Am I driving? Are we going to argue about who has the key?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24BOTH TALK AT ONCE
0:05:24 > 0:05:28'With our duos definitely decided, it's time to fly away.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30'I mean, drive off.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34'Judith's used to getting away quickly and today's no exception.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39'She's in the driving seat and keen to know what James's shopping strategy is.'
0:05:39 > 0:05:41It has to be something, I think,
0:05:41 > 0:05:47that is massive, bold, going to strike people immediately.
0:05:47 > 0:05:53- Cos they can't miss it? - Yeah. I think that's what we should go for.- Right.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57'Evesham was founded around its 8th-century abbey,
0:05:57 > 0:06:01'one of the largest in Europe, of which only the bell tower remains.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05'It's almost surrounded by the River Avon, which is great for boating,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08'but has caused several damaging floods.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12'Will Judith and James face a deluge or a drought of bargains
0:06:12 > 0:06:16'in Twyford Antiques, run by the very helpful Andy?'
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I'll let you have a look around. Give me a shout if you need a hand.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Righty-ho.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Good gracious! How do you...? There are SO many things.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I know!
0:06:27 > 0:06:30A marvellous mixture of everything.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- I saw one of those being played in Kakadu.- Australian?- Yes.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Kakadu National Park, Australia. - 'I believe there was a postcard!
0:06:38 > 0:06:42'Here's Judith in Australia, circa 1986.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44'Please, James, didgeri-don't!'
0:06:44 > 0:06:47TUNELESS BELLOWING
0:06:47 > 0:06:49JUDITH LAUGHS
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I'm going to give up!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54'That's a good idea.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57'James said they needed something big for auction
0:06:57 > 0:07:02'and he's spotted just that upstairs - a huge pine trunk!
0:07:02 > 0:07:06'A 19th-century trunk like this would have been covered in leather or cowhide.'
0:07:06 > 0:07:11- It's got 220 on it.- Oh! - We could get down to about 150.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- We couldn't get below that. - 150. We've only got 400.- Yeah.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17'It looks like it's beyond their budget,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19'but some missing wood and woodworm
0:07:19 > 0:07:22'give James the bit of negotiating space he needs.'
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I think a bit of wood missing is worth at least 50, if not more.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28That would make it 100 now?
0:07:28 > 0:07:33I was really thinking 120 for the very best on that.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Which is £100 off!
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Yes. Well, what about another 20 off?
0:07:39 > 0:07:43'This is a woman who has haggled from Woolloomooloo to Timbuktu.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45'You've got no chance, Andy.'
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Go on. 100 quid.- Oh!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- OK.- It's quite expensive.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- It's a MASSIVE trunk. - It's a quarter of our money.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Is the heat getting to us? Let's go down into the cold.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Thank you for that.- Thank you.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Let's go and have a...- A chinwag. - Yeah.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04You're right. It's a lot of money.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Well, I just feel I want to have the joy of buying more than just one big piece.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13'Judith's no-nonsense advice helps James focus.'
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Is that a magnifying glass?- Yes.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Jeez! - You could have that on your desk.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- It would have been used by a craftsman.- I like that.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26A watch repairer or somebody of that nature.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28That pretends to be £30.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31It pretends to be £30, but sounds more like 20 to me!
0:08:31 > 0:08:36'Andy's haggling with himself now! The Chalmers charm has got to him.'
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Is that, what, ten?- Ten, then!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Go on! £10.- £10?!
0:08:41 > 0:08:43'Andy, you're making it too easy for them.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48'James has scented blood and is seeing what else he can get here.'
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Tell me about this chap.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52'Judith's always liked a man in uniform,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55'even a very short one like this wee fella.'
0:08:55 > 0:09:00MUSIC: "A Scottish Soldier" by Andy Stewart
0:09:00 > 0:09:03He's got tartan trews. I think he's rather super.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07'Dummy boards like this were popular toys in Edwardian times.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10'This one has a ticket price of £30.'
0:09:10 > 0:09:13You looked at a crib earlier. There's another.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Oh, for a child's... Isn't that sweet?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18A child's doll.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21'This could be a bed for the soldier.'
0:09:21 > 0:09:24We could probably get away with 20 on that,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27if you were keen on it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30'So, they've gone from one huge item with the trunk,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33'to three small ones - the lens, the soldier and the cradle.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37'With Andy in a charitable mood, they might end up with all of them.'
0:09:37 > 0:09:3945 for a little group?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Could we have 40? JAMES LAUGHS
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Seriously, I think that's what we would.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I can't do any better, I'm afraid.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- How about that pine trunk as well? - You're still hankering after that.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I think the fact that it's pine, it's light wood.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00- It's SO practical.- All right. I love the plainness of it.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I said 100 on that. 45 on those.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05So, 140 for the four.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Thank you very much. You've got a deal.- Right.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Andy, we owe you some money, then. - Ah! Yes!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14'Wow! Look at that! Four items bought in one shop.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18'This might be a short show today. Let's go over them, though.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22'The pine trunk for £100, the magnifying lens for £10
0:10:22 > 0:10:25'and £30 for the soldier and the crib together
0:10:25 > 0:10:28'makes a grand total of £140.'
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Thank you very much.- Thank you so much, Andy.- I hope you do well.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35'While Judith drives a hard bargain in Evesham,
0:10:35 > 0:10:39'Mark and Paul are driving three miles down the road to Blackminster.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43'On the way, Mark's making sure Paul's competitive edge is sharp.'
0:10:43 > 0:10:47I don't want you to have any sympathy for my mother.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51I want you to be cut-throat about this and to go for the jugular -
0:10:51 > 0:10:54even though this is my mother we're talking about.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59- It's not right, is it? - It's not. I feel counselling should follow this trip.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04'I'd rather you concentrated on keeping your hands on the wheel!
0:11:04 > 0:11:08'Thankfully, it's not taken long to get to Wizpan Collectables.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11'It's run by Mary. Let's hope she's not feeling contrary.'
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- This is my friend, Paul. You might recognise him off the telly.- I do.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Have you got a poster of him on your wall?- Not quite, no.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Well, you should have!
0:11:21 > 0:11:23'Yeah, to throw darts at!
0:11:23 > 0:11:26'Let's see if Paul can hit the bull's-eye in here.'
0:11:26 > 0:11:28The onyx clock.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33'In the late 19th century, this lovely French-Algerian onyx clock
0:11:33 > 0:11:37'would have been part of a garniture and flanked by vases.'
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- £30 is all I want for that. - Never mind the quality.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Feel the weight, madam! MARK STRAINING
0:11:43 > 0:11:45There's a surface here.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47What we've got to do is set it running.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Tell me there's a pendulum. - There's a pendulum.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52CLOCK CHIMES
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- It's a miracle! Isn't it? - PAUL LAUGHING
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I just feel I've been at something extraordinary.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Like the first man landing on the moon!
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- This is one of those moments. - You're easily pleased.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I have to say, I'm excited about that.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10'It's time for Mark to do a deal.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13'Has he inherited any of his mother's skills?'
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Mary, we don't like this piece. - PAUL LAUGHING
0:12:16 > 0:12:22- We think it's got no potential for the auction.- It's still £30, whether you want it or not!
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- 'Doesn't sound like it.' - We do like the clock, Mary.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29What we're trying to do is trying... This is a sob story slightly.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- I'm in competition with my mother. - VIOLIN PLAYS PLAINTIVELY
0:12:33 > 0:12:35As a son, you never have a chance to shine...
0:12:35 > 0:12:39'Save it for the counselling. Mary just wants to talk numbers.'
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Is 20 out of the...? - 25. I'll meet you in the middle.
0:12:42 > 0:12:4420 is my lucky number!
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Mmmm.... OK.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- Mary, really?- Yes. - Thank you, Mary. That's fantastic.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Honestly, that is brilliant.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- We're excited about this. - You'll make a lot of money on it.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59'The first deal. Paul can't believe it.'
0:12:59 > 0:13:05We've hardly walked through the door. Let me assure you, we've made a stonking good purchase.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07'But can they keep it up?'
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- I like that, it gives it character. - Uhhhhh!
0:13:10 > 0:13:13"Uhhhh!" You sound like Chewbacca in Star Wars.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18'Maybe using the force will help Mark find some bargains in the back of the shop.'
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Not many people get in my stock room.- Ah! Privileged!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I love that box.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Can I throw in the towel now and hand my mother the trophy?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- PAUL LAUGHING - This is looking pretty bleak.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Don't weaken! Mark, don't weaken!
0:13:37 > 0:13:39'Just when the boys are about to give up hope,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42'Paul spots a deal on wheels.'
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Ah!
0:13:43 > 0:13:47'And it gives him a chance to channel his inner Jackie Stewart.'
0:13:47 > 0:13:50That's a Ford GT40, isn't it? Le Mans winner.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54That's how Ford took on the might of Ferrari.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58You programme the car. You select its course.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Watch it obey your instructions.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03A memory you control! By Mettoy.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Well, you know, it does stir some nostalgic thoughts within my soul.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12'The strips are cut individually to create different instructions,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15'letting you programme its course for hours of fun.'
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- What's it going to be priced at? - I would say, personally,
0:14:18 > 0:14:23I would say this would be a tenner. We're good customers of Mary's.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28Mary, this...tatty old box with a car in it...
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- You know my style of negotiating. - A fiver.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37I'm not haggling over a fiver. That would sully our relationship.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41I'll tell you why we're both loving that it's because it's our era.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44You're 45. You can tell you're older than me. I'm a mere 44.
0:14:44 > 0:14:50- I'm ageing! - That is something I would love to have got for a birthday present.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54That almost looks like my dad. This looks like you.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- PAUL LAUGHS - It's got it all.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59OK, Mary, that's a deal.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03'That's two purchases for the boys - the clock for £20
0:15:03 > 0:15:05'and the car at £5.'
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Mary, that's fantastic. - Thank you very much.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- No, thank YOU, Mary.- I hope you win. - The pleasure is all ours!
0:15:12 > 0:15:15'From toy cars to real cars,
0:15:15 > 0:15:20'Judith and James have travelled 25 miles north to Hartlebury.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24'Here at Hartlebury Castle is the Worcestershire County Museum.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29'It's home to the Springs, Spas and Holidays Exhibition.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34'It details the tourism boom that set the template for the package holiday craze
0:15:34 > 0:15:36'that sent Judith round the world for 30 years.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41'To show Judith and James around, Gemma Dhami from Worcestershire Museums.'
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- How do you do?- I'm Gemma. - All right, Gemma.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Have you met James? - Hi, James. Nice to meet you.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52'The health properties of drinking and bathing in Worcestershire's waters
0:15:52 > 0:15:55'have been known locally since the 17th century,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58'but for most of the country, it was too far away -
0:15:58 > 0:16:01'a bit like Spain in the 1960s.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04'So, just like the jet plane and the package holiday,
0:16:04 > 0:16:08'a new type of tourism needed a new form of transport to explode.'
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- This opened it up to the masses. - They had to get here somehow.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Package holidays came a bit later.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20- This was their way of getting about, as you say.- Yes, that's right.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Have you been on...? I suppose you must. - Have I been on package holidays?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28I thought you might have been on something like the Orient Express.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- Yes, I have.- I knew you would have done!- Of course I have!
0:16:32 > 0:16:35'And if you were going to take the waters,
0:16:35 > 0:16:39'just like Judith in the Jet Age, you would want to travel in style -
0:16:39 > 0:16:41'Victorian style.'
0:16:41 > 0:16:44These are the sort of clothes they wore on holiday then.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46This was typical of the 1890s,
0:16:46 > 0:16:50what people would wear to do their travelling.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Not as comfortable as we'd expect to wear today.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57It's Capri pants, now! Nice little trousers and things.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Very much a corseted waist.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- That's right. - Drawn-in, whale-bone corsets.
0:17:02 > 0:17:08'And you needed something large to pack all those corsets and starched collars into.'
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- People didn't travel light, did they?- No, not at all.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17People would take pretty much everything they could with them.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- We have some great examples here... - Beautiful.- ..of the luggage.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25I love luggage. I absolutely love it.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I've got a loft stuffed with it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32'And when you get there, what better way to relax than a nice dip?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36'Nearby Droitwich became famous for its salty brine
0:17:36 > 0:17:38'which contained ten times more salt than seawater.'
0:17:38 > 0:17:41They had the St Andrew's brine baths.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45It was there to treat rheumatism and arthritis because of the buoyancy.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It was very good for improving health.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52I went a little further, as far as a British person is concerned.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55I went to the Dead Sea in Jordan.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59And you could, literally - I didn't trust it when they told me -
0:17:59 > 0:18:02you could float and read a newspaper.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06You didn't have to paddle with your feet or your hands.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Just floating along, reading your paper. Absolutely wonderful.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14'Here's another from the collection! Judith in the Dead Sea, circa 1979.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16'Of course, postcards!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19'Writing "wish you were here" to the neighbours
0:18:19 > 0:18:23'was another craze we have to thank the Victorians for.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28'Gemma's got this early example of a postcard from a hop-picking holiday.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32'The hops and the clean water made the area ideal for brewing.'
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- A hop-making holiday? - That's right. It was very popular.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38People would do the hop-making.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43You'd see the process people went through through the photographs.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I can see how the end result might have been quite fun,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49but I would rather cut out the middle bit.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Would you like to see the end result in your hand?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I think it's about time we did.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Thank you so much.- Thank you for coming.- Absolute pleasure.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- Absolutely wonderful, Gemma. Thank you so much.- Come on.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07'State-of-the-art transport, flamboyant fashion,
0:19:07 > 0:19:11'loads of luggage, a quick dip, writing postcards and then a beer.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13'Not so different today, is it?
0:19:13 > 0:19:18'While Judith and James have been checking out the history of holidays,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21'Paul's quizzing Mark about the history of Judith.'
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Did you get at an early age how famous your mum was?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I was very aware that people knew who she was.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32You'd go shopping and people would go, "Judith Chalmers."
0:19:32 > 0:19:36What happened a lot, it happens to my mum even now, they'd go,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40if you were walking behind her, "There's Gloria Hunniford."
0:19:40 > 0:19:44I'd be thinking, "I don't think my mum's Gloria Hunniford."
0:19:44 > 0:19:46It was a bit confusing as a child.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50'Do they really look that alike? Hm.'
0:19:50 > 0:19:54I'm very proud to have my mum and I think she's a real...
0:19:54 > 0:19:59- icon of the broadcasting world. - Without a shadow of a doubt.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- Hopefully, a really rubbish antiques spotter! - PAUL LAUGHS
0:20:04 > 0:20:07'That brings us nicely to Paul and Mark's next shop,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10'five miles back up the road in Evesham.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14'Yes, it's back to Twyford Antiques and a very obliging Andy.'
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Thank you very much for having us around your shop.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Hopefully, you'll find something.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24I must admit, we did have quite a lot of really good stuff earlier.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- There was a young lady in this morning who came along...- No!
0:20:28 > 0:20:33'The boys are just going to have to make do with what Judith and James left behind.'
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I wonder how many pieces they bought.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39'Mark and Paul need to get on the same page.'
0:20:39 > 0:20:41These things cost a bit of money.
0:20:41 > 0:20:47It's the Antiques Road Trip, not the Secondhand Road Trip!
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Bit old-school! He's got to move with the times.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51PAUL LAUGHS
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Vintage Samsonite leather suitcase.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57That is some case! Holy Moses!
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- Isn't that lovely?- That's gorgeous.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- Worth bearing in mind? A contender? - Yeah.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10'Now we're getting somewhere, and hopefully with nice luggage.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13'You'd think Judith might have spotted that one.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16'Mark has spotted the wood amongst the trees.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18'The auction in Stroud has "wooden items",
0:21:18 > 0:21:21'so he might be on to something.'
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- It's a grain...- Yeah.- ..shovel.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28This sale includes wood. I'm not talking about furniture.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Wooden collectors' items.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35'The 19th-century malt shovel certainly qualifies as wood.'
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- What on Earth would you do with such a thing?- Um...
0:21:38 > 0:21:41But it might have mileage.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44'That's two potentials. Mark's spotted another.'
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Can I speak patriotically?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49This is my Rule Britannia moment!
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Andy, how much is your flag? - 25.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55It's faded, ragged, not very old.
0:21:55 > 0:22:01- Why not very old? - Because that's a nylon cord!
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- What about...?- Those words are frightening me. Dare I turn round?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- "What about...?" - Don't turn round. Look up.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- Mary Poppins' original umbrella. - PAUL LAUGHS
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Not joking. Actually not joking. - It's literally shot.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20If I told you you could fly with it, would you still go, "I'm sorry"?
0:22:20 > 0:22:25Paul, we've got to consider this. Andy, how much could this be?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- £38.- WHAT?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- I'm going to park these here. - I'm permanently, "What?"
0:22:30 > 0:22:35MUSIC: "Chim Chim Cher-ee" from Mary Poppins
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Paul, we are... We're under a bit of pressure, aren't we?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Is it worth just humouring me, possibly?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52You want the flag, get the flag.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Get it for virtually nothing.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- 'There's a challenge for Mark.' - Andy.- Ah!
0:22:57 > 0:23:03Um, I... Is there any way that I can take this off your hands for £5?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06And it won't blight your landscape any more.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11- Would you be prepared to budge? - Not five.- Four then? Maybe four?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13'That's it, Mark. Confuse him.'
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- Let's see what else you're looking at.- OK.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- The most audacious question I have for you...- Yeah.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24..is we were wondering whether we could possibly get this for £20.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29'That's a big discount from its ticket price of £68.'
0:23:29 > 0:23:34Well, how about...the malt shovel and the flag for 30?
0:23:36 > 0:23:43- Where are you at?- Well, we've got this and this...together, the two...
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- WHISPERS:- £30.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49What's the bottom line on the pair of them?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I can't do better than 25 on that malt shovel.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- But...- You could throw in the flag? - I could throw in the flag.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57'Andy, you're too nice for this game.'
0:23:57 > 0:24:00What I haven't made a big fuss about is the parasol,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- which you know I was keen on. - CLOCK CHIMING
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Oh! And the bell has tolled for the parasol. £30 all-in.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- Go on, 30 quid.- 30 quid? - I've got to give you a chance.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13£30, for the flag, shovel and parasol.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16'You'd think they'd be done with that lot!'
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Last question, Paul.- Yeah. - The luggage.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Wouldn't it be the ultimate, "In your face, Mother!"
0:24:22 > 0:24:27"I love you, but I just sold a suitcase for a million pounds!"
0:24:27 > 0:24:30'At £55 ticket price for the case,
0:24:30 > 0:24:34'Andy's going to need a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down.'
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Andy, Mary Poppins had a suitcase.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41She may not have had a Samsonite suitcase but she needs one to put her magic potions in.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Is there any way we can get the case for £20?
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- So, we're going to give you £50... - Mmmmm.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Which is good. You know, closing time!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- Go on.- That's a great auction lot - the Mary Poppins lot, isn't it?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58It remains to be seen, but we did it!
0:24:58 > 0:25:03'Deal done. Super Paul is realistic, but Mark's taste is atrocious. Ha!'
0:25:03 > 0:25:08- Andy, thank you. That's fantastic. - Right.- You've been very accommodating.- No problem.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10One crisp note and the deal is done.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15- Thank you, Andy. Good man. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19'It's been a day of mixed family fortunes in Worcestershire.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23'With both our teams ready for a well-earned aperitif, it's bon soir,
0:25:23 > 0:25:27'buenas noches and nighty-night.
0:25:28 > 0:25:34'It's another day on the road for our mother-and-son combo of Judith Chalmers and Mark Durden-Smith.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38'It's not even 9am and already the family ties are being tested.'
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- Have you got an item that might be your...?- I'm not talking about it.
0:25:42 > 0:25:49I was just saying to you yesterday, "Tell me if you've got one item or did you get two?"
0:25:49 > 0:25:55- You wouldn't even answer me. - That would be revealing, innately, the core of our strategy.
0:25:55 > 0:26:01- You've almost asked me the same thing.- I was just making polite conversation between competitors.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06James, how was the legend that is Judith Chalmers?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08She's lovely!
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- She had a great eye as well! - Really?- Yeah.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16If there was a gene for that eye for antiques,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19she didn't pass it on, I'm afraid. LAUGHS
0:26:21 > 0:26:26Two of these items in one lot have no merit!
0:26:26 > 0:26:28ROARS WITH LAUGHTER
0:26:28 > 0:26:33'Now, now, Paul. First rule of the Road Trip - what goes on Road Trip stays on Road Trip.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38'What we can say is that Judith and James spent £140 on four items -
0:26:38 > 0:26:40'the trunk for £100,
0:26:40 > 0:26:42'the toy cradle and soldier at £30 for the two
0:26:42 > 0:26:45'and £10 on the scientific lens.'
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I think that's great fun.
0:26:47 > 0:26:54'Paul and Mark spent a smaller £75 on, haha, the eclectic six items.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01'The onyx clock for £20, a toy car for £5 and a malt shovel at £25.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07'Then there was the Mary Poppins job lot in the case, the flag
0:27:07 > 0:27:10'and the ventilated parasol for £25.'
0:27:10 > 0:27:13The bell has tolled for the parasol.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17'After yesterday's journey to the middle and north of Worcestershire,
0:27:17 > 0:27:21'today our top travelling teams are in the south of the county
0:27:21 > 0:27:25'to meet up in the stunning village of Ashton under Hill.'
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Hi. How are you? - Very good, thank you, James.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34- Morning, how are you doing? - Have a good night's sleep, Captain? - Yes. You?- Very good.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Morning. - Don't be too nice to my mother.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40To be honest, she has been rather unforthcoming.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- I've heard a LOT from Paul. - You haven't.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Two things that are horrendous that he tried to persuade you not to buy.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51From what I've heard, you shouldn't have bought them.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56I don't know whether to play this with a straight face. You have been indiscreet.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01You realise this is what he's trying to do, much as I love him!
0:28:01 > 0:28:03'Oh, James, you are naughty.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06'That comment has clearly got under Mark's skin.'
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- Did you tell him our trade secrets? - Oh, would I?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Have fun!
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- We're going to blow them out of the water!- Game plan!
0:28:14 > 0:28:18'So, with Mark and Paul left to their recriminations,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21'Judith and James are first on the road.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24'Their destination is nine miles southwest in Gloucestershire.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27'It's a chance for James to ask the question
0:28:27 > 0:28:31'that Britain's most famous travel presenter surely has never been asked before!'
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Out of all the places that you've been -
0:28:33 > 0:28:36you must have been to hundreds of countries -
0:28:36 > 0:28:41- which is the one that stands out? - I've never been asked that before(!)
0:28:41 > 0:28:45It's one of those things that is hard to answer.
0:28:45 > 0:28:51Wonderful places - South Africa, going to New Orleans,
0:28:51 > 0:28:56going to marvellous New Zealand.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00'You won't need your passport for Tewkesbury, Judith.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03'This lovely town was named after a Saxon hermit.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05'For 800 years it was a centre for milling.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10'Sadly, in 2006, the last mill here closed.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13'But very much open for business is Attica,
0:29:13 > 0:29:15'a treasure trove run by Mark Turner.'
0:29:15 > 0:29:17How do you do?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Ooh, look! Wouldn't you like that?
0:29:19 > 0:29:21BOTH LAUGH
0:29:21 > 0:29:26- It's tribal, but not... - You love tribal things.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34'They're certainly coming across the weird and wonderful,
0:29:34 > 0:29:36'but what is there to buy?'
0:29:36 > 0:29:41Hm. Look at the size of that big copper pan.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44£65. It's a lot of money.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47There's no profit in it. It's a good thing, though.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52'No "pan" do, then! But what about the Victorian brass desk lamp?'
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- How much could it be?- Well...
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Five quid.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01'A fiver? That's surely a steal at that price!
0:30:01 > 0:30:03'Look at that! Gosh!'
0:30:03 > 0:30:07- But...- You think it might sell?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09'Judith's learning. It's not about whether you like it.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13'It's whether it can make a profit, and that surely will.'
0:30:13 > 0:30:18Something that the porters could hold up at the front. People see it.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21I looked at that from a distance and expected it to be 30 or 40.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- Did you?- Yeah.- There you go!
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Nice way round that, isn't it, Mark?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- When you said we could have it for a fiver!- Yeah.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34'Still, it would be nice to buy something they both didn't hate.'
0:30:34 > 0:30:37That massive saucepan, what could that be?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- SIGHS:- 25. - 25.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43What makes this good, see this seam here?
0:30:43 > 0:30:47It means the base is made out of thicker copper than the sides.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51It's a really good indication of quality.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- We liked that.- I like that, but...
0:30:53 > 0:30:57'But which is most likely to grab the attention at auction?
0:30:57 > 0:31:02'The matte copper pan that everyone likes or the brass lamp they hate?
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- 'There's only one way to find out.' - Sir?
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Could I borrow you for a minute?
0:31:09 > 0:31:11I'm going to hold two things up.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- Yeah.- I want you to tell me if you'd bid on them at auction.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19£30. Yes or no? You've got two seconds before the hammer goes down.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Yeah, I'd have that.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- That lamp.- Oh, nice one.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26I'd give you 15 quid for that.
0:31:26 > 0:31:2720?
0:31:29 > 0:31:31At a push.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Would you go 40 on this?- No.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36'The public has spoken.'
0:31:36 > 0:31:38That's where the profit is.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43- Good luck!- I'm going to have to wear this, aren't I?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45You don't like it, either.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Exactly. Yeah.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- Oh, dear, but there we go. That's a great pan.- How much would that be?
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- That's 25 and that's a fiver. - So that's £30.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59How about we take this with pride and that out of greed?
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- At £30?- At £30 the two.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- All right. Will that do?- Yeah.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07'With pride intact and after a lot of faffing,
0:32:07 > 0:32:10'the deal is done at £30 for both.'
0:32:10 > 0:32:11Thank you.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14'Mark's pride, however, has most certainly been dented
0:32:14 > 0:32:19'by this morning's revelation that Paul may have spilled the beans.'
0:32:19 > 0:32:25- Did you tell him anything about our items?- No.- Particularly two items that you weren't fond of?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28He knows that we had a good laugh
0:32:28 > 0:32:31over a couple of contentious purchases.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34He has no idea what we've bought.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37I don't like the fact you've talked to him!
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Do I sense regret?
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- Well, I... No. Not at all! - PAUL LAUGHS
0:32:42 > 0:32:46I had to fight my corner. You're a very domineering man!
0:32:46 > 0:32:50'Indeed. Paul and Mark are now also in the lovely town of Tewkesbury.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55'Their first stop is an antiques shop cannily called Antiques.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57'The owner is Darius.'
0:32:57 > 0:33:00I'm Paul. This is Mark.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02'Mark's already spotted something,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05'so it's back outside to see the stock on the street.'
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- Everything says to me... - MIMICS PAUL:- Profit!
0:33:09 > 0:33:13- The enamel sign.- I love those things.- Colman's Starch.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- Do you know who loves these?- Who? - Petrol heads. Classic car mob.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20They like to have a starch sign on their wall?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22They decorate the insides of their garages.
0:33:22 > 0:33:28Glass enamelled on steel - chipped, rusted and rotten.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32- I'll bet he wants 300 quid for that. - No?!
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- PAUL LAUGHS - You are kidding me?
0:33:34 > 0:33:39Big bucks! At auction, what's it worth? £100? £200?
0:33:39 > 0:33:43'Interesting. Let's see what price Darius has got in mind.'
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- I think it's about £90.- About 90?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49'But is it right for the auction in Stroud?'
0:33:49 > 0:33:56If we want the answer to the question "what's going to do well at this auction?" give them a call.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59'Quite within the rules. Mark gives them a call.'
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Hi, there. Stroud Auction House?
0:34:02 > 0:34:06We're trying to work out what kind of items sell well at the moment.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10I'm standing by a sign, a tin sign.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15OK. That's good to know. Second question, what about flags?
0:34:15 > 0:34:20Are Union Jacks still selling well, despite it not being the jubilee year?
0:34:20 > 0:34:23'He couldn't let it lie.'
0:34:24 > 0:34:27No. OK. So, just don't tell Paul you said that to me.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31That's just between us. He doesn't seem to trust me on this. Cheers.
0:34:31 > 0:34:36'I think "not the jubilee year" was the key phrase in that conversation.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38'Time to admit you were wrong.'
0:34:38 > 0:34:42- WHISPERS:- Flags, doing big business. - A flag specialist sale, basically.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Yeah. Honestly, it's going to be amazing.
0:34:45 > 0:34:51- Two - signage, good, as long as it's not too rusty.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56And you've got the bits where you can bolt it onto a wall intact.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Well, it's NOT capable of being bolted to a wall.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03'With the Colman's sign not cutting the mustard,
0:35:03 > 0:35:05'what else is calling out to be purchased?'
0:35:05 > 0:35:08What is it? It's a siren.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12A World War II, um...air-raid siren.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14How do YOU...
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- make up this twaddle?- Oh!
0:35:17 > 0:35:19BOTH LAUGH
0:35:19 > 0:35:22'It's actually a 1930s loud speaker for a radio
0:35:22 > 0:35:25'from the period when the two parts were sold separately.'
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- I love it.- Stunning object.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32An interior designer might think, "I can do something with that."
0:35:32 > 0:35:34That needs to be 35 quid.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37'Here comes another unique Mark negotiation.'
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- Do you like your mother? - LAUGHING:- Yes. Of course.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44And I love my mum, but you know that moment you just need to say,
0:35:44 > 0:35:48- "It's my turn now"?- Yeah. - "I'm at that crossroads in my life."
0:35:48 > 0:35:51That is why I'm prepared to offer you £10.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Ten I can't do.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- With that eyeball-to-eyeball thing? - Can't do it.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- Do you want to see a grown man cry? - I'll tell you what I would do.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04- I'd have a gamble with you. - Ooh, now I'm interested. Go on.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06How about we toss a coin for 15 or 20?
0:36:06 > 0:36:11- How about we toss a coin, 15 or ten? - How about we toss a coin, 25 or ten?
0:36:11 > 0:36:16'This is more like it! Never mind auctions! Why don't we do this on every show?'
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- Oh!- Did I see the ante just go up? - 20 or ten.
0:36:19 > 0:36:2220 or ten.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- 25 or nothing.- Whoa!
0:36:24 > 0:36:30'This is high-stake stuff! Don't offer the car, Mark. It doesn't belong to you.'
0:36:30 > 0:36:33OK, 25 or nothing...
0:36:33 > 0:36:36On the flip of a coin. You say heads. I say tails.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43LAUGHING: Heads! Oh, no!
0:36:43 > 0:36:45MARK GROANING
0:36:45 > 0:36:48I shall never emerge from my mother's shadow.
0:36:48 > 0:36:54Never. It looks like her head on there as well. It's haunting me.
0:36:54 > 0:37:01'We'll leave Mark to deal with his issues to remind you it's cost them £25 for the radio horn.'
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- That was the way it had to work. - Loving your work, man. Excellent!
0:37:05 > 0:37:07And it's still a good buy.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11- You say that, but I'm keeping that. - LAUGHTER
0:37:11 > 0:37:13'Elsewhere on the streets of Tewkesbury,
0:37:13 > 0:37:16'Judith and James are about to hit their last shop for the day.
0:37:16 > 0:37:21'It's Coach House Antiques, spread over a whacking two floors.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26'Here to show them round are Ruth the owner and her junior assistant, Geoff.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32'The four floors of this townhouse include a retro room to get you all nostalgic.'
0:37:32 > 0:37:37Have a look at this original early white telephone.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40Oh, my goodness! Do people want that?
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Yeah, they love them.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- It's very retro. It's very modern. It's very young.- Yes.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- How much could that be? - To you?- Yeah.- 15.- OK.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- JUDITH GASPS - Cheap enough, isn't it?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- Yes.- Let's have a think about that.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Look!
0:37:57 > 0:38:01'James has spotted an old friend of Judith's. It's Concorde!'
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- It's lost its nose!- What a shame.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09- Wonder where that...?- Look. It's been broken off.- What a pity!
0:38:09 > 0:38:14- I'd have loved to buy that myself. - It would be very you, wouldn't it?
0:38:14 > 0:38:18It would go with the photograph of me with my arm round the nose, yes.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21'Of course, that one's in the collection.'
0:38:21 > 0:38:24But it is the nose that's missing!
0:38:24 > 0:38:26'Back to the retro phone, then.'
0:38:26 > 0:38:29The rare ones are slightly more angular.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32In the day when they were really popular,
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- I sold one at auction for £200. - Good gracious!- A white one.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37How much have we spent?
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- Well, we spent 140 before. - Yesterday.- Yeah.
0:38:41 > 0:38:46- And 30 today.- 30 today.- That's 170. - We haven't spent half yet.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48I know! It's such a waste!
0:38:48 > 0:38:52We've got... 170... 230.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55What about a nice Victorian desk?
0:38:55 > 0:38:59'There's an idea, Ruth. This large late-Victorian mahogany writing desk
0:38:59 > 0:39:04'is just the kind of statement piece James wants - but can he afford it?'
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- How much could it be?- It could be...
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- 200.- Oh, blimey! What do you think?
0:39:10 > 0:39:14- Do you like the desk?- Yes, and I think people would like it.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19But the lowest it could make, on a really bad day...
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- £80.- Oh!
0:39:21 > 0:39:24On a normal day, it might make 120, 130.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28So that's where we're at, psychologically.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- So where does that leave you?- So? - So...
0:39:31 > 0:39:3395.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36'My goodness! That's a big drop, Ruth!'
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- Ooh, help! - CHORTLES
0:39:39 > 0:39:44It's got lots of little breakages on the handles, which is against it.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49- OK, 90. That's...- I wasn't doing that to try and knock you down.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53'A likely story, James! Still, the offer stands at £90.'
0:39:53 > 0:39:57- £90. You've got a deal.- Thank you.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01'And with the desk for £90, Judith and James are all shopped-out.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06'With Paul's love of the military and Mark's love of ANY sport,
0:40:06 > 0:40:09'they've travelled ten miles up the road to Hanley Swan
0:40:09 > 0:40:11'and the National Fencing Museum.
0:40:16 > 0:40:21'They're also going to find out more about a boundary-pushing early star of the sport.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24'The museum is a private collection
0:40:24 > 0:40:27'and a labour of love for fencing enthusiast Malcolm Fare.'
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Very nice to meet you.
0:40:29 > 0:40:36'It contains early examples of equipment and rules of the sport that Malcolm has collected.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40'Fencing has its roots in 16th-century duelling with rapiers.
0:40:40 > 0:40:46'By the 17th century, it had developed from duelling practice into a sport.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50'Rules were written down and the rapier developed into the foil.'
0:40:50 > 0:40:52You love your weaponry.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56- You're casting a very envious eye at that, aren't you?- Indeed.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- My word!- That's an early weapon.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03Can I ask a very inane question? How much...? He's all about profit!
0:41:03 > 0:41:09How much would it cost to buy an antique original foil like that?
0:41:09 > 0:41:13Well, I was lucky in that it turned up at a provincial auction room.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18Had no idea what it was, so it cost me less than £100.
0:41:18 > 0:41:24But I have paid in France more than £800 for a later weapon, which was also quite rare.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28So it depends who knows and who the customer is.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- There's auctions for you. - We live the dream.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Hopefully, it won't come to sword fighting tomorrow!
0:41:34 > 0:41:36'By the late 18th century,
0:41:36 > 0:41:38'famous fencers were the David Beckhams of their day.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40'They were asked to compete
0:41:40 > 0:41:45'in front of the biggest fencing fan in the country, the Prince of Wales.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49'This painting shows a famous match between the Chevalier St George
0:41:49 > 0:41:54'and an enigmatic trail-blazer, the Chevalier d'Eon.'
0:41:54 > 0:41:56D'Eon was an extraordinary character.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59He was a soldier for 40-odd years.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03He was a diplomat. He was a spy for Louis XV.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07And he was a very good fencer.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09'He also had a penchant for cross-dressing.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13'It might have started to aid his spying in Russia and England,
0:42:13 > 0:42:15'or just because he enjoyed it,
0:42:15 > 0:42:20'but in 1777, at the age of 49 and living as political exile in London,
0:42:20 > 0:42:23'he claimed he was anatomically female
0:42:23 > 0:42:25'and decided to live as a woman.'
0:42:25 > 0:42:30For various reasons, he got into deep financial difficulties
0:42:30 > 0:42:33and he was also beginning to see
0:42:33 > 0:42:37perhaps there were advantages to pretending to be a woman.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40He would be more sympathetically treated.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44He wanted to go back to France and clear up his family affairs.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46'Because of his role in a spying scandal,
0:42:46 > 0:42:50'the King wanted to make sure he wouldn't regain his previous place
0:42:50 > 0:42:52'as a male noble in society.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55'A strange sort of deal was agreed.'
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Louis XV said, "OK, come back to France, sort out your affairs,
0:42:59 > 0:43:02"but if you are a woman, you must dress as a woman."
0:43:02 > 0:43:05And reluctantly, he dressed as a woman,
0:43:05 > 0:43:10trying, at the same time, to return to the army, but they would have nothing to do with him.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13'He can't have been that reluctant because in 1785,
0:43:13 > 0:43:16'he returned to England but still chose to live as a woman.'
0:43:16 > 0:43:22In fact, the last 14 years of his life, he rented a room in a boarding house
0:43:22 > 0:43:25and his landlady had no idea that he was a man.
0:43:25 > 0:43:30When the doctor came to examine the body and said, "This is the body of a man,"
0:43:30 > 0:43:32she was astounded.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35I bet she was! You can't really blame her, can you?
0:43:35 > 0:43:40'No-one knows what his motivations for living as a woman were.
0:43:40 > 0:43:44'As for the match against the Chevalier St George,
0:43:44 > 0:43:46'd'Eon won seven points to one.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48'So, go girl!
0:43:48 > 0:43:50'In the spirit of Chevalier d'Eon,
0:43:50 > 0:43:53'Mark is going to have a go at fencing.
0:43:53 > 0:43:58'He's not going to wear women's clothes, but all the necessary safety equipment.'
0:43:58 > 0:44:01PAUL LAUGHING
0:44:01 > 0:44:03MARK ROARS
0:44:03 > 0:44:07- Maybe you should give me some technical assistance here.- OK.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10First of all, you come en garde like this,
0:44:10 > 0:44:12with both legs bent.
0:44:12 > 0:44:16Then you straighten the arm and lunge.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18Hooo! Hee-ha!
0:44:20 > 0:44:22Haw! Ha! Haw!
0:44:25 > 0:44:27- At the end, do we...? - Then you salute.
0:44:27 > 0:44:33Bring your foil up to your... Then you salute your opponent.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36- So we're downing arms?- That's right.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38And I reveal my identity.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41Me, the greatest swordsman in the west.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44Fantastic. Thank you, Malcolm.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47It's a very elegant sport done properly
0:44:47 > 0:44:51and a very inelegant sport when done like I just did.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53- Thank you. I've got the basics. - Pleasure.
0:44:53 > 0:44:57- I shall be employing them on you! - PAUL LAUGHS
0:44:57 > 0:44:59Let's go off. Next mission!
0:44:59 > 0:45:01'And the next mission is the reveal,
0:45:01 > 0:45:05'which Malcolm has very kindly lent us his garden for.'
0:45:05 > 0:45:09- Your logistics look impressive. - We've got more than you have!
0:45:09 > 0:45:10LAUGHTER
0:45:10 > 0:45:13As we all know, size doesn't matter.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15OK.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18Oh, I like the lamp!
0:45:18 > 0:45:20- 'Really?' - Yeah. Love the lamp.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22'You're about the only one - just you and me.'
0:45:22 > 0:45:25Is that a bull's-eye condenser?
0:45:25 > 0:45:28- Is that what it is? Bull's-eye condenser?- Yeah.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31- Yeah. It's a bull's-eye condenser! - You had no idea what it was!
0:45:31 > 0:45:34We knew exactly it was a bull's-eye condenser(!)
0:45:34 > 0:45:37Bull's-eye condensers are SO last year.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Last year, they were flying off the shelves.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42This year, no-one's interested!
0:45:42 > 0:45:44So, we've a desk.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47We have a rather nice pine chest.
0:45:47 > 0:45:51Call it what you will, but I like the vaulted top. This is nice.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54- Don't be too compliementary. - But the soldier.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56Looks like a wee dummy board. I like that.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59- So your total spend? - Two hundred and...
0:45:59 > 0:46:02- How has it got a two at the beginning?- ..60 quid.
0:46:02 > 0:46:07- 260?- Wow! You're almost throwing in the towel with this attitude.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09Throwing in the flag? BOTH LAUGH
0:46:09 > 0:46:12'Come on, boys. Show us your stuff.'
0:46:12 > 0:46:15The first thing we've done together in harmony!
0:46:15 > 0:46:18# Ta-da-da-da! #
0:46:18 > 0:46:20Ah! Oh!
0:46:20 > 0:46:23Not quite such an impressive...volume!
0:46:23 > 0:46:27- One lot.- This is the Mary Poppins, going on holiday lot.
0:46:27 > 0:46:31- Flying the flag.- Little parasol. The flag - they love the flags!
0:46:31 > 0:46:34The market for a flag with a hole in it - huge!
0:46:34 > 0:46:38It took a little bit of twisting of arms.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40I'm sure that's a great winner(!)
0:46:40 > 0:46:44Explain the rest. The rest is, you know, stuff.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47That's late 19th-century, French, gilt-mounted,
0:46:47 > 0:46:51- onyx, classical architectural cased clock.- Yeah. How much?
0:46:51 > 0:46:53- 20.- Ooh!
0:46:53 > 0:46:56JUDITH: That's good. PAUL: Seriously!
0:46:56 > 0:46:59How much have you spent altogether?
0:46:59 > 0:47:01£100.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03- Oh, wow!- No?
0:47:03 > 0:47:05The flag itself, I think will go for 100.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08- How much was the case? - Don't touch!
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Don't want any of your bad karma on our stuff!
0:47:11 > 0:47:13I think you've done really well.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15'Is that what you really think, James?'
0:47:15 > 0:47:19I think we have got the best lot by a mile.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22The thing that makes me most confident
0:47:22 > 0:47:25is the fear in Paul's eyes.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28I can't tell you how lacking in optimism I am.
0:47:28 > 0:47:35- I see this big stuff and they've got that desk for 90.- I can't believe they got the desk for 90!
0:47:35 > 0:47:38The flag with a hole in it, I'm not too keen on that.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41Flags, no. The parasol, no. The game, no.
0:47:41 > 0:47:47- The clock's good.- The clock, that is their winning lot.- Yeah.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50Do we need to go and rest before the big battle commences?
0:47:50 > 0:47:51Oi!
0:47:51 > 0:47:53'And so on to auction.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56'Our destination is 33 miles south, through the Cotswolds,
0:47:56 > 0:47:59'into Gloucestershire, home to sunny Stroud.'
0:47:59 > 0:48:03Are you excited, Mother, about the prospect of the auction?
0:48:03 > 0:48:05Excited is one word. Yes.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08It's the culmination of what we've been doing.
0:48:08 > 0:48:12But nervous is another word which is applying to me today.
0:48:12 > 0:48:17That reveal, I've got to say, I had a little offering, you had an antiques shop!
0:48:17 > 0:48:19BOTH LAUGH
0:48:19 > 0:48:21There's my lucky cow.
0:48:21 > 0:48:26Morning. Who do you think is going to win the great auction showdown?
0:48:26 > 0:48:28- MOO - Ooh, maybe not!
0:48:28 > 0:48:31- Oh, gosh! - BOTH LAUGH
0:48:31 > 0:48:34I think he was winding up for a charge.
0:48:37 > 0:48:41Close shave! Let's get to this auction house before it gets too rural.
0:48:41 > 0:48:46'Well, they all seem in the "mooood" for today's auction.
0:48:46 > 0:48:50'It's in the gorgeous Cotswold town of Stroud.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52'It's been called "Notting Hill with wellies",
0:48:52 > 0:48:56'thanks to its thriving artistic community and various festivals.
0:48:56 > 0:49:01'Today's auctioneers, the Stroud Auction Rooms, have been on the go for ten years,
0:49:01 > 0:49:06'and recently took the title of the UK's number one online auctioneers.
0:49:06 > 0:49:10'Today's auctioneer is James Taylor. What's he seen that's hot - and what's not?'
0:49:10 > 0:49:14We've got buyers who like toys and retro things that remind them of childhood.
0:49:14 > 0:49:18So the racing car set stands out nicely in this sale.
0:49:18 > 0:49:22If we had to name one item that was going to struggle,
0:49:22 > 0:49:25it's the magnifying glass - it's a bit random.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29To be honest, we're not sure how it's going to fare in the auction.
0:49:33 > 0:49:37'Whoops! Just raring to get off the ground are our two teams.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39'Oh, dear!'
0:49:39 > 0:49:41- LAUGHTER - Ready for action!
0:49:41 > 0:49:44You men! Boy racers!
0:49:44 > 0:49:46Morning, partner. How are you?
0:49:46 > 0:49:48Hello, hello, hello.
0:49:48 > 0:49:53I've been awake half the night wondering what's going to happen.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Destiny awaits us! Shall we go?
0:49:55 > 0:50:00Let battle commence. Try and keep it friendly. It's my mother, after all.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04'So, to recap, both teams started the trip with £400.
0:50:04 > 0:50:09'Judith and James have flown first class, spending £260 on seven items,
0:50:09 > 0:50:12'which they've made into five lots.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15'Mark and Paul have gone economy, only spending £100,
0:50:15 > 0:50:19'also on seven items which they've made into five lots.
0:50:19 > 0:50:23'Looks like there's a few no-shows in business class today,
0:50:23 > 0:50:27'but there are phone and internet bidders to help the prices fly.
0:50:27 > 0:50:32'With both teams strapped in and the safety announcements made,
0:50:32 > 0:50:34'let the family feud begin!
0:50:34 > 0:50:37'The first item is Mark and Paul's malt shovel.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40'There's already been some bids come in online - thank goodness.'
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Commission interest means I'm straight in at £45.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46£45, the bid's on the book. Looking for eight.
0:50:46 > 0:50:5048's on the net. 50 with me. Is there two? At £50. Five.

0:51:04 > 0:51:08'Fantastic start for the boys. A £40-profit straight off the bat!
0:51:08 > 0:51:11'I mean, shovel. Next, it's the scientific lens,
0:51:11 > 0:51:14'or bull's-eye condenser, to use its technical name.
0:51:14 > 0:51:19'Our auctioneer thought it might struggle, but was he off-target?'
0:51:19 > 0:51:22I'm bid straight in at £22.

0:51:34 > 0:51:37I'm selling to the net at 35. BANGS GAVEL
0:51:37 > 0:51:42'Great start for team Chalmers, too. A magnified profit of £25.
0:51:42 > 0:51:46'Next, it's Paul and Mark's 1960s battery-operated car.
0:51:46 > 0:51:49'Will someone drive a hard bargain to get it?'
0:51:49 > 0:51:54Little bit of interest means I'm straight in at £28. 30 on the net.
0:51:54 > 0:51:5832's with me. Is there five? 35. 38's with me. Is there 40?

0:52:01 > 0:52:06I'm selling to the net at 40. BANGS GAVEL
0:52:06 > 0:52:11Percentage-wise, that has got to be the most successful purchase!
0:52:11 > 0:52:16'James is right. That's a stunning 700% profit, before auction costs.
0:52:16 > 0:52:21'If you could make that on a real car, you'd live the rest of your life in the fast lane.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23'For the next lot,
0:52:23 > 0:52:27'Judith and James have combined the George III copper saucepan
0:52:27 > 0:52:29'with the Victorian desk lamp.'
0:52:29 > 0:52:34A lot of commission interest. Straight in at £100. Is there 110?

0:52:47 > 0:52:51Well done, guys! Well done!
0:52:51 > 0:52:55'That's a truly copper-bottomed profit to light up Judith's day.
0:52:57 > 0:53:00'It's the Mary Poppins lot of the 1950s suitcase,
0:53:00 > 0:53:04'the air-conditioned Victorian parasol and the shabby Union Jack.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06'If this can make a profit, anything can.'

0:55:18 > 0:55:23'But it was enough profit to put you well into the lead, Judith.
0:55:23 > 0:55:28'Listen up, everyone - it's the 1930s radio loudspeaker.
0:55:28 > 0:55:33'The boys need this to make about £100 profit to stay in the game.'

0:57:05 > 0:57:09'Both teams today started with a £400 holiday...

0:57:43 > 0:57:44Hats off.
0:57:44 > 0:57:46Well done!
0:57:46 > 0:57:48Exciting!
0:57:48 > 0:57:53Mother, you've been teaching me lessons about not picking my nose and brushing my hair,
0:57:53 > 0:57:56- but that is the ultimate lesson. - Can I kiss him, too?
0:57:56 > 0:57:58- James, fantastic.- What fun.
0:57:58 > 0:58:02- It's been a wonderful experience. - I need my mother back, I'm afraid.
0:58:02 > 0:58:06- I must return her to my father. - Your mother's never gone anywhere!
0:58:06 > 0:58:11I'll miss you. The bromance is over. Just a holiday romance, though.
