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 > 0:00:09'One antiques expert each.'
0:00:10 > 0:00:12La belle epoch?
0:00:12 > 0:00:14'And one big challenge -
0:00:14 > 0:00:19'who can seek out and buy the best antiques at the very best prices...'
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Answers on a postcard.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25'..and auction for a big profit further down the road?'
0:00:25 > 0:00:27I love it! Ah!
0:00:27 > 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 > 0:00:37'And who will be the first to say, "Don't you know who I am?"'
0:00:37 > 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 > 0:00:48'Yeah!'
0:00:48 > 0:00:51'On this Road Trip, we're really cooking
0:00:51 > 0:00:57'with a couple of culinary maestros who are also close mates.'
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hello, everybody.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Shall we wave? Hello!
0:01:01 > 0:01:06'Coo-ee! Jean Christophe Novelli and Rosemary Shrager.'
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Hello!- It's Rosemary and Raymond!
0:01:10 > 0:01:12BOTH LAUGH
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Yes. Hello!
0:01:18 > 0:01:23I must say that I do have a few antiques. I do like antiques.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26'Jolly good.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31'Jean Christophe is a French master of the culinary art
0:01:31 > 0:01:34'who first came to Britain in the early 1980s.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37'Since then, he's opened a string of restaurants,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40'winning four consecutive Michelin stars.
0:01:41 > 0:01:47'Sacre bleu! If that wasn't enough, he also owns a cookery school
0:01:47 > 0:01:52'and brightens up Britain's cooking shows with his handsome physog!'
0:01:52 > 0:01:55That's all the work making you look 20 years younger!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58They're wasting the budget!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- I'm really looking forward to it. - It's going to be fabulous.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- I tell you something... - In Yorkshire.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Watch the road!- Ooh! The brakes.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09'That looks, um, terrifying.'
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- You've been to antiques shops? - Oh, yes. I love antiques shops.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20'Rosemary Shrager is a chef who's worked for top restaurateurs and in stately homes,
0:02:20 > 0:02:24'run no less than three cookery schools and published books
0:02:24 > 0:02:26'which bring her stellar skills to the masses.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29'She's also a regular on the gogglebox,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31'where she's tutored all and sundry
0:02:31 > 0:02:35'and traded baking for bush tucker on I'm A Celebrity.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40'Rather you than me, Rosemary.
0:02:40 > 0:02:46'Today, our gastronomic guy and gal are driving a red-blooded American classic,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49'a 1965 Ford Mustang.'
0:02:49 > 0:02:52I wonder who our antique experts are going to be.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Do you have a clue?- No, I don't.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00'But I do. Hello! Paul Laidlaw and Margie Cooper.'
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Us and two chefs, eh? - LAUGHS
0:03:03 > 0:03:07"I like this vase." "Do you, chef? Yes, chef. Buy it, chef!"
0:03:08 > 0:03:11'Paul Laidlaw's a canny Scott's auctioneer
0:03:11 > 0:03:15'who's quite clear that he's happier in a saleroom than a kitchen.'
0:03:15 > 0:03:21If you ever see me get two courses within a reasonable time of one another,
0:03:21 > 0:03:26you are likely to see a grown man cry, shout or break something.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31'Margie Cooper is a dealer and silver specialist,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35'who always charms with her ready laugh.'
0:03:35 > 0:03:37LAUGHS
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- I don't envy them their career. I'd rather have ours.- Oh, what?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43'Quite right, Margie.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48'This lover of silver has definitely set her sights on gold in this race.'
0:03:48 > 0:03:51It's not much fun coming second.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- It's the lengths you'll go to achieve that.- Cross the line. - Absolutely.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59I crossed over to the dark side years ago, of course!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03'I've got my eye on you, Paul.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07'They're piloting a snow white starlet, a 1960s Morris Minor.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12'Today, they'll begin in Gomersal, West Yorkshire,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14'tour through the lovely West Riding
0:04:14 > 0:04:19'and end up at auction in the fine city of Sheffield.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25'Margie and Paul have decided which of the chefs they're going to claim for their respective teams.'
0:04:25 > 0:04:29So you're taking Rosemary and I'll have Jean Christophe.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Good idea.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35And may the best man win! PAUL LAUGHS
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Yes, chef!
0:04:37 > 0:04:41'And the competition is already heating up.'
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Get me into the shop, I'll find the right thing. I'll beat you.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48A dozen eggs! We could stop and get some eggs.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53'There are two good eggs waiting for you in a nearby car park.'
0:04:53 > 0:04:55There we are!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00'Both teams are aiming for the same first shop,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02'each armed with a £400 budget.'
0:05:02 > 0:05:05ENGINE STARTS
0:05:08 > 0:05:12'Rosemary and Paul are motoring off in determined fashion.'
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Have you known Jean Christophe long? - I've known him for over 20 years.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21- Oh, my word!- I used to work for him. He's absolutely fabulous.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26Today, everything goes out of the window because I'm very competitive.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30'Meanwhile, though they're headed to the same place,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34'Jean Christophe and Margie seem to have driven off into a rain shower.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37'That cloud must be following you.'
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Argh!
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Right...
0:05:42 > 0:05:44What's that?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Look at our wonderful technique.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52We're getting more wet doing this than if we'd not bothered!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- That's very clever.- Oh, hang on!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Are you in?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03BOTH LAUGH
0:06:03 > 0:06:08'What a palaver! But they're back on the road.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11'Unsurprisingly, Rosemary and Paul are the first
0:06:11 > 0:06:15'to make it to today's inaugural shop, the Old Silk Mill.'
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- Ooh, we're here! - Look who's NOT here.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Ha! No, they're not! They're not here yet!
0:06:22 > 0:06:24That is good news.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30'They're meeting dealer Simon.'
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Hello. I'm Simon. Welcome to the Old Silk Mill.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I'm Paul. Good to see you.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38'Time for this brand new team to get browsing.'
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Lovely welcome. What a lovely spot. - Isn't it nice? Sweet little chair.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- I love the feel of that.- Yeah.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52'Soon, Paul's spied something over yonder.'
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Two hand lanterns appealing to different markets.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00'He's found two lanterns of differing design.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03'One made to be mounted on an early motor car,
0:07:03 > 0:07:08'and the other a hand lantern issued by the London Midland and Scottish Railway,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10'a precursor to British Rail.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13'They both date from the early 20th century.'
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Value, that's the punchline.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Too much. - They're worth £20, £30 each.- Yeah.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24But... I'm not getting a good vibe?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Is that not you? Are these just...? - That's not. That would be me.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31'Ticket price on that lamp is £48,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34'but Paul's sending Rosemary off with strict instructions.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36'Go for it, girl!'
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- WHISPERS:- Ruthless! I'm thinking a tenner!
0:07:39 > 0:07:43'Watch out, Simon! Here comes trouble. Big time.'
0:07:43 > 0:07:45What would be your best price?
0:07:45 > 0:07:49I'm in a generous mood. 30. You're going to hate me for this.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52But please, um...ten?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55You can have it for 20, definitely.
0:07:56 > 0:07:5815? Please?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Seeing as it's you, Rosemary, 15.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Thank you!
0:08:04 > 0:08:09'Put him down. That's a good deal, but Paul's still got his eye on the other lantern.'
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Can I push it further? Next to it... Now, Rosemary doesn't like it.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17If that's 15, the two could be 25, couldn't they?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20That's not as valuable as that.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23What about 28 for the pair?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Shall we do 28? OK, let's do 28. As long as I get another cuddle.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29You can have another cuddle!
0:08:29 > 0:08:33'Another cuddle? Gosh! I think Simon might be a fan of yours, Rosemary.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38'After a hesitant start, Rosemary seems to be getting the hang of this haggling lark
0:08:38 > 0:08:41'and they've got their first lot in hand for £28.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44'Which might shine a light.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51'It looks as though Jean Christophe and Margie have finally caught up.'
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Hello.- Look at that! - I don't know you.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I'm Simon. Pleased to meet you. Are you OK?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03'What might Jean Christophe's strategy be?'
0:09:03 > 0:09:09You know, like going to a food shop, obviously, you can't smell, you can't taste.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12'You can taste the antiques, if you want, Jean Christophe.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14'I don't know if I'd recommend it.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16'Mm, aroma of hat!'
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Would you let me this desk for 400 quid?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- How much is the piano? - LAUGHING: How much is a piano?
0:09:25 > 0:09:29He's so excited. We've only got £400 and we're trying to make a profit.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I've lost control.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Look! I've lost control! Complete control!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38LAUGHS He's having a good time.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42It's not his field and it's an exciting field.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49'Jean Christophe soon sniffed out something he's really keen on.'
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- How about that horse?- Oh, crikey!
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- You've got to think, where I come from...- That!
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- ..something like this. - That is awful.- I don't think so.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03That is the worst horse in Christendom.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I know it's not perfect.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08MUSIC: Theme to "Rawhide"
0:10:13 > 0:10:16'It's a 20th-century carousel horse missing one ear
0:10:16 > 0:10:20'that's been liberated from a fairground and fitted on runners.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24'There's no ticket price. To put it mildly, Margie is not keen.'
0:10:24 > 0:10:27It's in terrible condition. It doesn't rock.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- It's got no age to it at all. - But the thing is...
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I've never seen anything as horrible in my life.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39That's what people like! If it's too beautiful, people hate it.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43'You've found that, have you, Jean Christophe?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45'Under sufferance, Margie will fetch Simon.'
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Simon, follow me. That horrible horse.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- It's not horrible.- It is horrible. - It's something attractive.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I bet it's expensive.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58The horse is 200. BOTH GASP
0:10:58 > 0:11:02You see? I told you it's worth something.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- MARGIE: Move on. - Why don't we say 40 quid?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06'Steady on, Jean Christophe.'
0:11:06 > 0:11:0875. Oh, that's...
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- My only concern is the missing ear. - MARGIE: It is a slight problem.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Shall we call it Vincent Van Gogh? LAUGHS
0:11:17 > 0:11:22SIMON: How about I meet you halfway? Say, 55, and you've got a bargain.
0:11:22 > 0:11:2640. If you accept 40, I'll go for it
0:11:26 > 0:11:28and it's out of your showroom.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30SIMON: Mm...
0:11:30 > 0:11:35- You've got a deal, Jean Christophe. - You're a good man, because I really believe in it!
0:11:35 > 0:11:40'So, Jean Christophe negotiates an excellent deal on his beloved horse.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45'Despite her professional reservations, Margie will indulge him on this one.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47'What a nice thing.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52'Rosemary and Paul are still downstairs
0:11:52 > 0:11:55'and they've spotted something of their own.'
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Look! "Lusty's Maidsaver!" - Oh, I love it!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- GASPS - That's a gem.- I LOVE it!
0:12:01 > 0:12:06'It's a mid 20th-century kitchen branded as the Maidsaver!'
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- It's bang on trend. - I wonder how much this is.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13'Ticket price is a hefty £225,
0:12:13 > 0:12:18'so they have to agree a deal with Simon - the deal of the century.'
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Simon? Can I ask you a question?
0:12:23 > 0:12:24SIGHS
0:12:24 > 0:12:29'Now Rosemary's got him where she wants him, she's going to try for another reduction.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32'Stand by. Poor boy.'
0:12:32 > 0:12:3350. Ooh!
0:12:33 > 0:12:37I'm afraid that's far too cheap. 55.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42'You're a quick learner. You've really taken to bargaining. You've terrified him.'
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I think if we stretched to 125, you're getting a bargain.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47No, no, no. We can't.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I've got a price at the top we can only do, seriously.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I can only do it. OK...70.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59We have got it up at 225, which is a reasonable price.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Minimum we could go to, that would be 90.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07'Simon's giving you a run for your money.'
0:13:07 > 0:13:0975.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14I think 85, you've got an absolute bargain.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18A real, real bargain at 85. 82 and I'll call it a deal.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24ROSEMARY LAUGHS HEARTILY
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Fantastic!
0:13:26 > 0:13:31Have you any idea how glad I am that Rosemary is on MY side?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33She's a tough cookie!
0:13:33 > 0:13:38'She certainly is. Now Rosemary's trying to get Simon to include a few small kitchen items in the deal
0:13:38 > 0:13:43'to dress the cabinet - which is really finger-licking cunning.'
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Can you throw in just a few little bits?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48SIMON: I'm sure we can, yes.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51You're such a good egg! Thank you SO much!
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- You are a whirlwind. - I love it! Shall we go upstairs?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58'Ha ha ha. Thought you'd never ask.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02'Paul's clocked something.'
0:14:02 > 0:14:08That is a mid 20th-century office regulator.
0:14:08 > 0:14:14That is the timepiece from which other clocks could be set.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- Look at that technology!- Wow!
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- What is that?- This is an electric regulator.- It looks electric.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25'It dates from the 1940s and it's marked up at £85.'
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- I like the face.- It's got a great face.- It's really lovely.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35'Of course, they'll be looking for a substantial discount from Simon,
0:14:35 > 0:14:40'who'll be lucky if he still has his hat by lunch time.
0:14:40 > 0:14:46Do you recall, upstairs, you've got a...albeit shabby office wall clock?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49It's not going to be 20 quid, is it?
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- £40. £40 will... - Aargh!
0:14:53 > 0:14:55ROSEMARY: 21?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57PAUL LAUGHS
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Little steps!
0:14:59 > 0:15:03The absolute death would be 35. You've got an absolute bargain.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- 25. - 30 and I'll shake your hand.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09You've got an absolute bargain. Yes. I mean...
0:15:10 > 0:15:13All right. Go on.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Cheers. I'd better get more money out.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19'You better had, Paul.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24'Simon's given you generous deals, but he's also made lots of sales.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30'The other two are still browsing
0:15:30 > 0:15:33'and it doesn't look as if Margie's having any more luck
0:15:33 > 0:15:36'containing the Mercurial Jean Christophe.'
0:15:36 > 0:15:39La belle epoch?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Anything Napoleon or Louis XV or...?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Unfortunately, no, I don't think so.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Charlemagne?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- Let's be serious now and give a little bit of concentration.- Yeah.
0:15:51 > 0:15:57'Margie's steering him towards something befitting of his profession. Stop mincing about.'
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Look, culinary!- Wonderful painting. - A mincer.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I used to make mince with that.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- Did you?- Yeah. Many, many years ago. - I bet. When you were a lad.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11'It's an old tool for mincing meat. There's no ticket price on it.'
0:16:11 > 0:16:15It falls into a group of antiques called kitchenalia.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18It doesn't go for a lot of money.
0:16:18 > 0:16:24Mind you, if at the auction people connect you with something culinary, it probably would.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27SIMON: The mincer I could do for £5.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31'This could be the start of their job lot of kitchen-centric items.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34'I'm starting to sense a theme developing.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38'Kitchenalia, to use the antiques world term,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41'can be saleable to the right market.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45'It does put Jean Christophe back on familiar ground.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49'He's soon found something else he'd like to add to the lot.'
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- I can see the scale and the mincer together.- That is a thought. Yeah.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58How much is it? We've got 25 with the weights.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04'It's a set of scales and weights dating from the early 20th century.'
0:17:04 > 0:17:08MARGIE: So, the two together? SIMON: The mincer and the scales?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12What about 18 for the pair?
0:17:12 > 0:17:17'Oh! Now he's doing his Marcel Marceau!
0:17:18 > 0:17:20'But it seems to be working.'
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- 15.- I'm going to step out here.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26MARGIE LAUGHING
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Thank you, my friend. I love you very much.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33'Deal done at £15 for the mincer and scales.'
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Marvellous. Thank you.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38'And the irrepressible Jean Christophe is browsing on.'
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I have great interest to this...
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Is it Victorian? - LAUGHTER
0:17:45 > 0:17:47'Lordy!
0:17:47 > 0:17:51'Now, Rosemary and Paul are back on the road.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55'They're driving towards Grange Moor, West Yorkshire,
0:17:55 > 0:17:59'and heading into Rockwood Antiques, which is above a garden centre.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01'Oh!
0:18:01 > 0:18:04'Dealers Karen and Sally are ready to greet them.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07'Hello, Karen and Sally.'
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Wow! Oooh!
0:18:11 > 0:18:13OK. Let's just say hello.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- How are you doing? - Hello, hello! How are you?
0:18:17 > 0:18:23'Our competitive pair are getting down to some determined bargain hunting.'
0:18:25 > 0:18:30It's come over all serious, you and I! What happened?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- I love these big bowls. - A big dairy crock!
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- I love them. - They are belting, aren't they?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40With JC and myself, it's all got a bit kitchen-orientated!
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- I'm getting that! - You're getting the hang of it?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Kitchen, kitchen, kitchen.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50'And before long, Rosemary's spotted yet another kitchen themed item.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52'This time, on a miniature scale.'
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Oh, look at this!
0:18:55 > 0:18:58GASPS Oh! Look at this oven!
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Sweetheart!
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Oh, look!
0:19:04 > 0:19:08My grandchildren would LOVE this.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13'It's a child's toy stove dating from the 1930s or '40s,
0:19:13 > 0:19:17'complete with miniature pots, pans and utensils.
0:19:17 > 0:19:23'Ticket price is £85. It's awoken the childlike joy in this pair.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26'It's almost as if they've trotted off to the nursery.'
0:19:26 > 0:19:31- Isn't that adorable?- A wee tinplate range, is that what you call it?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Yeah.- A stove.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- What do you think they would sell it for?- I'd need that for half.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41'Getting it for half price might be a challenge,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44'but Rosemary is proving she's no slouch at bargaining.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46'She'll speak to Karen.'
0:19:46 > 0:19:51- Are you able to speak for these people?- I am, love. Yes.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56OK. It's obviously too expensive for us. We couldn't even do half.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- £25?- Can I have a look, see what's on it?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01'Uh-oh.'
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- I'd rather you didn't! - LAUGHS
0:20:04 > 0:20:07'But Karen's kindly willing to haggle.'
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Could you possibly shift to 30?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12SIGHS
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- I wouldn't hesitate. - All right. I'll do 30.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Done. OK. Thank you so much.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20'Wonderful! Wonderful! Deal struck.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24'They've got the darling little stove for £30
0:20:24 > 0:20:28'and a ruckload of children's pots and pans.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33'Now, Jean Christophe and Margie are in the car.'
0:20:33 > 0:20:36That was our first shop. How do you feel?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I think it was an amazing experience.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40BOTH LAUGH
0:20:40 > 0:20:43'Thanks to you, Jean Christophe.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46'They're motoring off towards the city of Leeds.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50'They're going to spend the afternoon visiting a stately home,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53'Temple Newsam, where Michelin-winning chef Jean Christophe
0:20:53 > 0:20:57'will learn about a menu served here in the 19th century
0:20:57 > 0:21:00'that was amongst the most lavish of its time.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04'They're meeting retired curator James Lomax.'
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- You're James?- That's right. Come along.- Thank you.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12'Temple Newsam is a grand Tudor Jacobean pile,
0:21:12 > 0:21:17'one of the most important country houses in the north of England.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23'It sits in 1,500 acres of parkland,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27'which today includes a rare breeds farm.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29'Jean Christophe's keen to visit the farm,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32'which produces high-quality meat, but before that
0:21:32 > 0:21:36'they're going to learn about a very special meal in the house's history,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38'a feast fit for a King.'
0:21:38 > 0:21:44In 1894, there was a visit by a member of the royal family to Leeds.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48The future Queen Mary and George V, the Duke of York,
0:21:48 > 0:21:53came and had a big dinner here for 48 people.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57'The royal couple who were then Duke and Duchess of York,
0:21:57 > 0:22:02'came to Leeds to inaugurate some new academic buildings.'
0:22:02 > 0:22:05They came to open the new medical faculty at the university
0:22:05 > 0:22:08and stayed here for three days - it was like a state visit.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12'In 1894, the house was owned and lived in
0:22:12 > 0:22:16'by Lady Emily Charlotte Meynell Ingram - quite a mouthful.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18'Like many grand houses of the time,
0:22:18 > 0:22:23'Temple Newsam was equipped to host large and lavish parties.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27'The royal guests enjoyed a spectacular meal in their visit.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29'Look at that!'
0:22:29 > 0:22:31You can see the preparations going on.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35They're laying the table, basically.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40You can see the silver plates - the 144 silver plates.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Then we also have the menu.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Of course, in French.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49It has to be. Anything really smart has to be in French always.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52'Naturellement.'
0:22:52 > 0:22:55"Consomme royale, poulet roti,
0:22:55 > 0:22:59"escaloppes de saumen ravigot, salade de homard."
0:22:59 > 0:23:03'To you or me, that's royal broth, roast chicken,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06'salmon with sauce and lobster salad. Yummy!'
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- "Poulet decoupe".- What's that?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Beheaded chicken!
0:23:12 > 0:23:17It's basically a chicken slice in 24 bits.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21'The menu has put Jean Christophe in mind of a giant of French cookery.'
0:23:21 > 0:23:26This is definitely Escoffier time, Escoffier language.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31'Auguste Escoffier rejuvenated traditional French cooking
0:23:31 > 0:23:35'in the late 1800s and early 1900s, publishing La Guide Culinaire,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39'which remains a bible in professional kitchens to this day.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43'This menu reflects the haute cuisine of the moment.'
0:23:43 > 0:23:49- As a chef...- These old menus.- ..this is like reading a bible to me.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- Yes, of course it is. - This is the frame of cooking today.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57This is where all the sauces, these amazing classic dishes
0:23:57 > 0:24:00have been moved on now to what it is today.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- In that time, these would be really exceptional.- Exceptional eating.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09'The chef that cooked this meal wouldn't have had far to go
0:24:09 > 0:24:12'to source the produce that went into it.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17'A farm on the estate provided the house with much of its food.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21'The provenance of our ingredients is just as important today.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26'The farm still exists and Jean Christophe and Margie
0:24:26 > 0:24:30'are going to wander down there to meet farm manager David Bradley.'
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Good afternoon. - Welcome to Temple Newsam.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- How are you?- Very good. Brought some nice weather with you.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- We had a lovely time in the house. - It's lovely, isn't it?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43'Today, it's run by the city as a rare breeds farm,
0:24:43 > 0:24:49'devoted to preserving breeds of farm animals neglected by commercial agriculture.'
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- Do you want to see the cattle? - I'd love to.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Most of the breeds became rare after the war years, really.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Most of the breeds became rare when farming methods got more modern
0:25:05 > 0:25:08and traditional things went by the board.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14That's my favourite one.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21'The farm provides meat to Temple Newsam's on-site cafe.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24'The farm's been successful in its mission
0:25:24 > 0:25:27'to preserve traditional British breeds and farming methods,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31'bringing the gastronomic story of Temple Newsam up to the present day.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33'Jean Christophe is impressed.'
0:25:33 > 0:25:38I think it's important to understand the way of sourcing your product,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40to understand about farms.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45It's down to people like ourselves to produce something that's better than we've had in the past.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48This is fabulous.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52You only need one good chef and one good farmer and you've got it made!
0:25:52 > 0:25:57'Indeed! It's time for Jean Christophe and Margie to hit the road.'
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Bye bye, Billy.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05'With that, it's the end of a hectic first day. Bon nuit, mes amis.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15'But the bargain trail calls and the next morning finds all four back on the road,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18'comparing notes on the trip so far.'
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I have to tell you, I love Paul.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23He is so good to be with. He's so funny.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Margie, what does she think about what you bought?- Oh!
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- Margie LOVE it! - BOTH LAUGH
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- I don't know whether to believe you or not.- She gave me a look like...
0:26:34 > 0:26:37"OK. Yeah. You've got a point."
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I think you are completely winding me up.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43'You could be right there, Rosemary.'
0:26:43 > 0:26:48He was like a little boy in a sweet shop. I really lost control.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52What I've got, believe me, will knock your socks off.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57- Well...- Knock your socks off. - Wait till you see what I bought yesterday.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59You're going to be shocked.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03'He IS winding you up this morning, Rosemary.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08'So far, Rosemary and Paul have spent £170 exactly on four lots -
0:27:08 > 0:27:10'the two carbide lanterns,
0:27:10 > 0:27:14'the Maidsaver kitchen cabinet, the regulator clock
0:27:14 > 0:27:15'and the toy stove and accoutrements,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19'meaning they have £230 left to spend today.'
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Thank you very much. Take care.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28'Jean Christophe and Margie have been quite abstemious by comparison,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31'spending only £55 on two lots -
0:27:31 > 0:27:35'the scales and mincer, and the carousel horse.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38'They have £345 left to spend.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43'They're all beginning in the West Yorkshire town of Hebden Bridge.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48'Bohemian Hebden Bridge is known for its vibrant cultural scene
0:27:48 > 0:27:50'and array of independent shops.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53'What better place to kick off today's proceedings?'
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Hello! Here are the competitors.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- How was your journey?- Damp!
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- I'll see you later. - See you later.- Have a good'un.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08'Rosemary and Paul are strolling off to their first shop.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11'They're heading into Hebden Bridge Antiques,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14'where they're meeting dealer Duncan. Hello, Duncan.'
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- Your name is?- Duncan.- Hello, Duncan.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- How do you do? I'm Paul. - I'm Rosemary.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28Do you know what? JC has been winding me up so much this morning!
0:28:28 > 0:28:32He's been doing my head in. This is real BUSINESS, OK?
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- I mean that. Please help me. - A grudge match?
0:28:35 > 0:28:38This is a grudge match. Actually, we're at war.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40We're actually at war.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46'The brave Mr Laidlaw is willing to step up to the plate
0:28:46 > 0:28:51'and has soon spotted something that speaks to his own war-like area of expertise, militaria.'
0:28:51 > 0:28:55- I'll show you an easy profit on an interesting thing.- Hm?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58'It's a pipe with a clay bowl
0:28:58 > 0:29:03'shaped as the head of French military leader Ferdinand Foch,
0:29:03 > 0:29:07'Supreme Commander of the allied armies in World War I.'
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Dated 1918.
0:29:09 > 0:29:15That's commemorating the armistice. That's 13 and a half pounds.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Buy it for a tenner and it's worth £30 to £50.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20'Duncan will open the cabinet.'
0:29:22 > 0:29:26I do love it because it's so... Feels lovely, though, doesn't it?
0:29:26 > 0:29:32It's history! Like nasty Jean Christophe, it's a thing of the past!
0:29:32 > 0:29:35'They're taking a note of it and browsing on.'
0:29:35 > 0:29:39It's like Aladdin's cave in here. It's fantastic.
0:29:42 > 0:29:48'The military theme continues as Paul's expert eye alights on something else.'
0:29:48 > 0:29:50LAUGHS
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- I've got something.- What is it?
0:29:53 > 0:29:58- Binoculars.- Not any old pair of binoculars.- What are they?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Not a lot of people know this,
0:30:00 > 0:30:02but...
0:30:02 > 0:30:05those are military...
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Don't look closely at me, it doesn't get any better!
0:30:08 > 0:30:10'Crikey, it's Cary Grant!'
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- These date to the Second World War. - Do they?
0:30:13 > 0:30:19These were designed for and issued to British paratroops.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23If they don't make 30 to 50, there's been an injustice.
0:30:23 > 0:30:29'Paul's pretty sure he can turn a profit on his two pieces of militaria.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34'Rosemary's still fixated on the Maidsaver kitchen cabinet she bought yesterday
0:30:34 > 0:30:38'and is determined to scare up some kitchen items to dress it.'
0:30:38 > 0:30:42Have you got any little things I can put inside it that I don't pay for?
0:30:42 > 0:30:46PAUL AND DUNCAN LAUGH Just some bits and pieces?
0:30:46 > 0:30:50'Rosemary! That's even embarrassed Paul!
0:30:50 > 0:30:55'Asking for free stuff might be taking hard haggling a little far.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59'But she is going to try to assemble her own parcel of kitchenalia
0:30:59 > 0:31:03'to dress the cabinet, which Duncan might do for a knock-down price.'
0:31:03 > 0:31:07- What bits and pieces are you looking for?- You know, maybe one of these.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- Pretty cups and saucers?- Yes.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14- Spoons you're interested in?- Yes. They'll have me down as a scavenger.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16'They will.'
0:31:16 > 0:31:21- It's a wine stopper?- No, a spirit server.- That would be fantastic!
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Take that.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I love that.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Can we put that on my...? PAUL LAUGHS
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Can we? Please?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35I feel like a beast of burden here, chef.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40'Rosemary's positively daft for kitchen items.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42'Is she finally finished?'
0:31:42 > 0:31:44OK, I think we're done.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45Oh, wait!
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- LAUGHING:- "I think we're done. Oh, wait!"
0:31:48 > 0:31:51'It's a set of four Victorian copper pans.
0:31:51 > 0:31:56'They're thinking of adding them to the mega lot of kitchen cabinet and kitchenalia.'
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Onto your counter.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05'Ticket price for all four pans is a hefty £114.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07'Oh, Duncan?'
0:32:07 > 0:32:11- Would a straight 100 be any good to you?- That's a bit of slack.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15I should have said, "Will there be a hell of a lot of slack?"
0:32:15 > 0:32:19We're talking about slightly less than half.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Well, we wouldn't be able to do that.
0:32:21 > 0:32:2370.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27I still, you know, I don't think we'll make the money on it.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- How about 60?- You're tempting us.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33'What about Rosemary's mountain of kitchen items?
0:32:33 > 0:32:39'Combined ticket price on that motley assortment is around £30.'
0:32:39 > 0:32:41If I give you a tenner for those?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- How about 13, unlucky 13? - SHE SIGHS
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- 12?- OK.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51'What about the two military items Paul's so keen on,
0:32:51 > 0:32:53'the pipe and the binoculars?'
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- We can do that for a tenner. Can't go any lower.- That is so fair!
0:32:57 > 0:33:02- Really keen on that.- You're going to say the same about the binoculars.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Yes. We could do that for a tenner.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- They could go together quite easily. - Yes, they look nice.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12'£20 for the two is more than fair.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18'So, Duncan's currently offering a total of £92 for the lot.
0:33:18 > 0:33:23'If they take everything on the table, what could he do for the bulk buy?'
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- 75.- We're going to have to do it.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29We're going to have to do it. PAUL LAUGHS
0:33:29 > 0:33:33I'm not going to do that. Come here.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37'An extraordinary deal from Duncan means that they're all bought up.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40'Duncan's colleague Peter is lying in wait.'
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Rosemary, before you go, I'd like to give you a present
0:33:43 > 0:33:45in exchange for a photo.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49- Fan...- To help you with your kitchen.- Oh, that's fantastic!
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Seriously?
0:33:51 > 0:33:57'Thank you, Peter. That plate will be added to the kitchen lot on which they've now spent £147.'
0:33:58 > 0:34:01That's good!
0:34:04 > 0:34:11'The other pair are in the car and Margie's looking forward to rooting out some real antiques today.'
0:34:11 > 0:34:14- Are you going to let me have a look around?- Yes, of course.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18And maybe buy something a bit special?
0:34:18 > 0:34:23- I'll be your comis. - You'll be my comis chef!
0:34:23 > 0:34:27'They're heading for a shop just outside Hebden Bridge.'
0:34:27 > 0:34:30# Non, je ne regrette rien... #
0:34:30 > 0:34:34'Yes, yes, yes. Let's be "Edith Pi-affing" you!
0:34:34 > 0:34:36'They're at Caldene Antiques Centre.'
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- What about this?- Oh!
0:34:41 > 0:34:43BOTH LAUGH
0:34:43 > 0:34:48'They're greeted by dealers Shirley and Paul.'
0:34:48 > 0:34:51So, we're going to have a jolly good look round.
0:34:51 > 0:34:57- And then, if you can help me at some stage?- Well, I hope so.- So do I.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Has he got any smell?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Look, he's watching me.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05'Margie's keen to see if anything might chime
0:35:05 > 0:35:07'with either her silver specialism
0:35:07 > 0:35:10'or Jean Christophe's cheffy enthusiasms.'
0:35:10 > 0:35:14With him being with us, a bit of culinary...
0:35:14 > 0:35:18- I was thinking about that. - A bit of silver for the table!
0:35:18 > 0:35:21I want to try and get him on a more serious track.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25'He does seem a bit more reflective today.'
0:35:25 > 0:35:29It's a lot to... There's so many little, little...
0:35:29 > 0:35:32It's a different...different shop.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35But I spot something over there.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Which, I think it might work.
0:35:37 > 0:35:43Because my mum, my mother used to sew, make a bit of couture.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- Is it Victorian?- Yes. 1870.
0:35:46 > 0:35:52'He decides against that chapeau, but they've soon spotted another.'
0:35:53 > 0:35:58What about this firefighter? It's a French one, yeah? Is it French?
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- Chapeau de pompier?- Oui. I recognise French. Pompier.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05This is at least 100 years old.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09'It is, indeed. It's a 19th-century brass fireman's helmet
0:36:09 > 0:36:13'owned by one Firel Firent,
0:36:13 > 0:36:17'who worked in the town of Decize on the Loire river.'
0:36:18 > 0:36:21'Ticket price is £125.'
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- This is fantastic. - Yeah, it's interesting.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27- This is fabulous.- Yeah.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30You can smell leather.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33'Paul's asked the dealer who owns it what it might go for.'
0:36:33 > 0:36:39- If we can get to 70.- It's a nice job but we only have 60 quid left.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42'That's a fib, Jean Christophe!'
0:36:42 > 0:36:4465, just to ease it?
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- 65. OK.- You're a good man. Thank you.
0:36:48 > 0:36:54'Mon dieu! Another great deal and the helmet's in the bag for £65.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00'Rosemary and Paul, meanwhile, are raring to go,
0:37:00 > 0:37:04'but it looks like something's deflating their ambitions.'
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- If you're going to pop it, pop it big stylee.- Yeah.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11- Holy Moses!- Well, let's get it... It's in the boot, obviously.
0:37:11 > 0:37:17- I know we've got one. There we go. - All right. Here we go.- Give me that.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20'Time for some patented Laidlaw heroics.'
0:37:20 > 0:37:23MUSIC: Theme to "The A-Team"
0:37:25 > 0:37:29Make sure it's tight enough, Paul, so it won't come off.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Yes, chef!
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Right!
0:37:36 > 0:37:40'With that crisis averted, they're driving to Halifax, West Yorkshire.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43'They have all their items for auction,
0:37:43 > 0:37:45'so they're going to spend the afternoon
0:37:45 > 0:37:48'at the Duke of Wellington's Regimental Museum.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51'Rosemary is the patron of a Yorkshire charity
0:37:51 > 0:37:55'that trains young forces' veterans for new careers in bakery,
0:37:55 > 0:38:00'so she's keen to learn more about the military history of the area.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04'Militaria-mad Paul's more than happy to come along for the ride.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07'They're meeting military curator John Spencer.'
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Good to see you. Thanks very much for coming.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14Welcome to the Duke of Wellington's Regiment Museum.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21'The museum celebrates the history of the regiment founded in 1702
0:38:21 > 0:38:23'as the Earl of Huntingdon's Regiment,
0:38:23 > 0:38:27'but which came to be named after politician and war hero
0:38:27 > 0:38:30'the first Duke of Wellington.'
0:38:30 > 0:38:33We'll look at some items related to the great Duke himself.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39'Born in 1769, Arthur Wellesly, the Duke of Wellington,
0:38:39 > 0:38:41'was twice British Prime Minister,
0:38:41 > 0:38:44'Commander in Chief of the British Army
0:38:44 > 0:38:50'and famed as the victor at the Battle of Waterloo during the Napoleonic Wars.'
0:38:50 > 0:38:55The Duke of Wellington became Colonel of the regiment in 1793.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57He was Commander of the regiment.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01He took it with him to India and to the Continent to fight the French.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04As he went onwards and upwards through the ranks,
0:39:04 > 0:39:08he remained the Honorary Colonel of the regiment until 1812.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12- Fantastic! It's very much his regiment.- Very much his regiment.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16When the Duke passed away, Queen Victoria decreed
0:39:16 > 0:39:18that his old regiment, the 33rd,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21should become the Duke of Wellington's Regiment in his honour.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26'The museum holds some of the legendary Duke's own possessions.'
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- Clothes worn by the Duke of Wellington.- What?- Yes.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33- Not the Wellington boots?- Yes! We have a complete set of clothing.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- You are joking? - Worn by the Duke of Wellington.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38We have here his frock coat.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- Look at that! - Good Lord! And his original hat?
0:39:41 > 0:39:47His original hat with the cockade of the allied troops at Waterloo.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51'On the other side of the room are more items relating to Waterloo.'
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- The campaign bed is the Duke of Wellington's.- It's his?
0:39:55 > 0:39:58It's allegedly the one he slept in on campaign.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02'The museum doesn't just celebrate the great Duke's achievements.
0:40:02 > 0:40:07'The stories of the brave men who served in the regiment are reflected also.'
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Ensign Howard of the Light Company of the 33rd
0:40:10 > 0:40:15wore that cap at the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19A French musket ball passed within an eighth of an inch of his head.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23He survived to write home to his mother, "Thank God I am safe.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25"I had a very narrow escape that day.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28"I intend bringing the cap to England."
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Which, sure enough, he did. It's ended up in Halifax.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Yes. A circuitous journey, but the place for it to be.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40'Marvellous. The proud regiment so formed went on to serve
0:40:40 > 0:40:44'in our major conflicts through the 1800s and into the 20th century.'
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Throughout the Second World War, up to the actions of the '90s.
0:40:48 > 0:40:54- The regiment have served in Afghanistan and been seriously injured.- Exactly.
0:40:54 > 0:40:59'Rosemary, of course, is patron of the Veterans' Artisan Bakery
0:40:59 > 0:41:03'which supports ex servicemen, so the museum has resonated with her.'
0:41:03 > 0:41:09This is really close to my heart because they come back traumatised,
0:41:09 > 0:41:12and they're so brave, these young men, they really are.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Thank you SO much for showing us.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18'Inspired by all they've learned,
0:41:18 > 0:41:23'it's time for Rosemary and Paul to be hitting the road.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30'Elsewhere, Jean Christophe and Margie are in the car,
0:41:30 > 0:41:32'heading to their last shop.'
0:41:32 > 0:41:37- Time running out. One more shop. - And we've got 280 quid.- Yeah.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40'Time is, indeed, of the essence.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43'They're heading back to Hebden Bridge and, in fact,
0:41:43 > 0:41:47'to the very same shop the other pair were in this morning.
0:41:47 > 0:41:52'Duncan and Peter look almost recovered from their earlier customers.'
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Duncan, how are you?
0:41:58 > 0:42:02'They need to focus on finding their last items.'
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- CLOCK CHIMES - Brilliant!
0:42:09 > 0:42:12You are interested in those?
0:42:12 > 0:42:16'Margie's managed to steer him away from "those things".'
0:42:16 > 0:42:18She's the boss. I forgot.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21'But Jean Christophe's leading her a merry dance.'
0:42:21 > 0:42:24MARGIE LAUGHS Well, I'd rather have that.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27I'd rather have that than those flaming things!
0:42:27 > 0:42:31'Shortly, he's alighted on something upstairs.'
0:42:31 > 0:42:36- This lot in the corner is very, very interesting.- What is it?
0:42:36 > 0:42:40- Oh, the scales.- Oh, yes. The scientific scales.- Fabulous!
0:42:40 > 0:42:44'They're early 20th-century scientific scales
0:42:44 > 0:42:47'and are priced up at £75.'
0:42:47 > 0:42:51- Shall we move that on the side? - Put it over there.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53- STRAINING:- Bloody hell! It's heavy.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56'Watch your back, Jean Christophe.'
0:42:56 > 0:42:59I've just spoken to Duncan. He's got 65 on them.
0:42:59 > 0:43:04- He's prepared to knock them right down...- 65 for what?- ..to 25.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08'Once again, Jean Christophe has set his heart on this.'
0:43:08 > 0:43:12- Are you going to shake hands with the gentleman?- £25.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15- Oh!- Shake his hand. - Thank you very much.
0:43:15 > 0:43:20'What a bargain! They're taking the scales for £25. Who wouldn't?
0:43:23 > 0:43:28'Soon, Margie's found something that she thinks might be right up Jean Christophe's street.'
0:43:28 > 0:43:32- Oh, my God!- Yeah. Opera glasses. - Qu'est ce que c'est?
0:43:32 > 0:43:36This very kind... They're at 45. 20 quid.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39I'm going to give you a kiss on your hand.
0:43:39 > 0:43:43Well done, because that is fabulous.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47'It's a pair of 19th-century mother-of-pearl opera glasses.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49'Ticket price is £45.'
0:43:52 > 0:43:56You could look up in the box and see who... Ooh! It's not his wife!
0:43:56 > 0:43:58BOTH LAUGH
0:43:58 > 0:44:01'Best see what Peter could do on them.'
0:44:01 > 0:44:05- For you...- Yeah. - ..as a special one-off price.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08- £20.- Oh!- We'll have it!
0:44:08 > 0:44:12- Fabulous. You're a good man. Thank you so much.- Pleasure.
0:44:12 > 0:44:16'Another nice buy in the bag, and they're nearly finished shopping -
0:44:16 > 0:44:19'bar one more cookery themed item.'
0:44:19 > 0:44:21- Mrs Beeton.- Yeah, yeah.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24You like Mrs Beeton, don't you?
0:44:24 > 0:44:28- How much is that?- I'm not sure what the price is on it.
0:44:28 > 0:44:33Let's have a look and see. It's got 35 on it.
0:44:35 > 0:44:41'It's an Edwardian edition of Mrs Beeton's famous book of cooking and household management.'
0:44:41 > 0:44:43£20 we could do that for you.
0:44:43 > 0:44:47I can hear Mrs Beeton, "Ooh, take 15."
0:44:47 > 0:44:52- For a photo for the wall of fame, 15.- Go on, do it.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54You're a good man. Thank you.
0:44:54 > 0:44:59'With that final deal, everyone's got their lots for auction.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02'Jean Christophe and Margie have caught up with the other two
0:45:02 > 0:45:06'and it's time for the grand unveiling of their buys.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09'Jean Christophe and Margie are up first.'
0:45:09 > 0:45:12That's the first thing.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16- PAUL LAUGHS - Is that a unicorn?
0:45:16 > 0:45:19Excuse me. Don't touch it!
0:45:19 > 0:45:23I can't believe this! Thank you for your gracious touch(!)
0:45:23 > 0:45:26- He's called Vincent. - Oh, goodness me!
0:45:27 > 0:45:30Don't touch it. Just calm down.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33All right. It's not the first edition?
0:45:33 > 0:45:35Oh, no!
0:45:35 > 0:45:39- Do you know who this lady is? - Yes, I do know who this is.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41Better move on. This is a mincer.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43What's this?
0:45:43 > 0:45:47- Don't! This is 100 year old. - It's a fire engine.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50- 'It's a helmet, actually.' - This is from France.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52- ALL: Ah! - 100 years old.
0:45:52 > 0:45:56- It's from Burgundy. He was a brave man.- Oh, he's a brave man.
0:45:56 > 0:46:01One of thousands of brave men in the world who fight against the fire.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04And that is value. What do you think of this?
0:46:04 > 0:46:06Look, it's a good thing.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10It ain't unique, but it's a good specimen of a desirable object.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14- Conservatively, it's 50 to 80 on a good day.- We can go off now!
0:46:14 > 0:46:18Actually, I have to say to you, I think you've done really well.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21- I really think you have done well. - It must hurt, non?
0:46:21 > 0:46:24'Jean Christophe, that's not very sportsmanlike.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26'Now, it's Rosemary and Paul's turn.'
0:46:27 > 0:46:30- There you go.- It's an oven.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34Isn't that nice? Oh! The little colander!
0:46:34 > 0:46:37Listen to her! You do make me laugh, actually.
0:46:37 > 0:46:41It's even got little candles in there you can put on.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45- That was £30. - £30, yes.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49Early 20th-century, Lucas King O' The Road,
0:46:49 > 0:46:51automotive - early automotive.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54And then an LMS railway hand lantern.
0:46:54 > 0:46:58- That's up your street. - I agree. That's good.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01- It's quite smart, that. - How much did you pay for that?
0:47:01 > 0:47:04- Both of them, one lot...- Yeah?
0:47:04 > 0:47:08- £28.- That's a good buy. - For both of them.
0:47:08 > 0:47:13- £28 for the both of them. - I have to give you a point for that.
0:47:13 > 0:47:17'That's more like it. And with a flourish...'
0:47:18 > 0:47:21I remember seeing that. I thought you were going to buy that.
0:47:21 > 0:47:26ROSEMARY: All beautifully done. We've got a whole kitchen.
0:47:26 > 0:47:30One of these pans is incredibly valuable.
0:47:30 > 0:47:35I used to work for a while in a place where everything was copper.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38Believe me...this is not very valuable.
0:47:38 > 0:47:42At all. In fact, you cannot even cook with that.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44'Don't mince your words, Jean Christophe.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47'Anyway, everyone's ready for auction.'
0:47:47 > 0:47:50Well done, Margie. Well done.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53Thank you, darling! Thank you.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56And I'm looking forward to the day.
0:47:59 > 0:48:05'They're frank enough in the flesh. What will they say behind closed doors?'
0:48:05 > 0:48:08The horse is awful! It'll go one of two ways.
0:48:08 > 0:48:12They'll either be lucky and people will be charmed by its eccentricity,
0:48:12 > 0:48:15or they'll laugh at it and it'll bomb.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18Honestly, she was on and on and on in the car.
0:48:18 > 0:48:22She's trying to wind you up and she's done it.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24They could do well on a couple of things,
0:48:24 > 0:48:27then crash with the kitchenette.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30Do you know what? Bring it on. PAUL LAUGHS
0:48:30 > 0:48:33'And so to battle!
0:48:33 > 0:48:37'On this Road Trip, they began in Gomersal, West Yorkshire,
0:48:37 > 0:48:41'and will face the saleroom in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
0:48:41 > 0:48:45'In its steel-skied industrial past,
0:48:45 > 0:48:49'Sheffield was known as a dirty picture in a golden frame.
0:48:49 > 0:48:53'But today, signs of its civic regeneration abound.
0:48:53 > 0:48:57'Jean Christophe and Rosemary are on their way,
0:48:57 > 0:49:00'and Rosemary's still fixated on her kitchen cabinet.'
0:49:00 > 0:49:04I haven't got a clue how my wonderful kitchen's going to go.
0:49:04 > 0:49:08It is a kitchen in one piece of furniture.
0:49:08 > 0:49:12Well, I think if there's an interest it has to be like a fireman
0:49:12 > 0:49:15or someone who has a wood fireplace.
0:49:15 > 0:49:18- ROSEMARY LAUGHS - Somebody who need wood!
0:49:18 > 0:49:21- Cheap wood. - BOTH LAUGH
0:49:21 > 0:49:26'That burning issue aside, how are they feeling in the other car?'
0:49:26 > 0:49:29Paul, shall we bother turning up with these two?
0:49:29 > 0:49:34When these two get cracking, we might as well slip off somewhere.
0:49:34 > 0:49:38Is there a bar? Is there a cafeteria we can retreat to?
0:49:38 > 0:49:41They're both very excitable, aren't they?
0:49:41 > 0:49:45'That's saying something, but it's all part of their charm.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48'Everyone's arrived at the saleroom, Sheffield Auction Gallery,
0:49:48 > 0:49:50'which was established in 1840.'
0:49:50 > 0:49:52How are we all feeling?
0:49:52 > 0:49:56- Absolutely ready for it. - Very good.- It's going to be magic!
0:49:56 > 0:49:59- LAUGHTER - Good luck, Rosemary.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02'Today's auctioneer is Robert Lea.
0:50:02 > 0:50:06'Before he raises the gavel aloft, what does he think of our team's lots?'
0:50:07 > 0:50:11I like your kitchen cabinet. It depends what somebody paid for it.
0:50:11 > 0:50:16The horse is certainly different. One thing against it is it's not useable.
0:50:16 > 0:50:21Very solid. You can fit a whole family on that, never mind a kiddy.
0:50:23 > 0:50:29'On this trip, Jean Christophe and Margie spent £180 on five lots.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34'While Rosemary and Paul splashed out £255
0:50:34 > 0:50:37'and also have five lots in today's sale.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39'With all profits going to Children In Need,
0:50:39 > 0:50:44'it's time for their items to meet the discerning Sheffield crowd.
0:50:45 > 0:50:49'First up is Jean Christophe and Margie's job lot of mincer, scales
0:50:49 > 0:50:52'and an Edwardian edition of Mrs Beeton.'
0:50:52 > 0:50:55£28. 30, I'm looking for...
0:50:55 > 0:50:58- Can I bid?- No.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01..Fair warning. Hammer's going to drop at £35.
0:51:03 > 0:51:08'That weighs in with a profit, but they will pay auction costs.'
0:51:08 > 0:51:11- It made five quid. - Charges to come off that.
0:51:12 > 0:51:18'Now it's Rosemary and Paul's lanterns from rail and roads past.'
0:51:18 > 0:51:2330. 32. 35. 38. 40. 42, it needs to be to carry on.
0:51:23 > 0:51:2642. 45. 48, sir?
0:51:26 > 0:51:28I'm out. Anybody else? It's going to sell.
0:51:28 > 0:51:32They're going to sell at £48. Fair warning at 48...
0:51:32 > 0:51:34BANGS GAVEL
0:51:34 > 0:51:37'That's a bright outcome for them.'
0:51:37 > 0:51:38I was expecting a lot more.
0:51:38 > 0:51:43'Jean Christophe and Margie are up now with the carousel horse
0:51:43 > 0:51:45'which divided their opinions.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48'Who'll get bragging rights out of this?'
0:51:48 > 0:51:51£50 for it?
0:51:51 > 0:51:54Let's go down to 20. LAUGHTER
0:51:54 > 0:51:56£10. 12. 15?
0:51:56 > 0:51:5918. 20. 22.
0:51:59 > 0:52:0225. 28. 30. 32.
0:52:02 > 0:52:0535. 38? 35 only.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08All done at £35?
0:52:08 > 0:52:10That's good enough.
0:52:10 > 0:52:16'Mm, you do know you made a £5 loss before costs, Jean Christophe?
0:52:16 > 0:52:18'Now it's Rosemary and Paul's turn,
0:52:18 > 0:52:21'as their regulator clock meets the room.'
0:52:21 > 0:52:24On commission, I start at 30. 32. 35.
0:52:24 > 0:52:28Need 38 elsewhere. Anybody else want to join in?
0:52:28 > 0:52:33Hammer's going to drop, reluctantly, at 35...
0:52:33 > 0:52:35JEAN CHRISTOPHE LAUGHS
0:52:35 > 0:52:38'A small profit, but a profit, indeed.'
0:52:38 > 0:52:41No, we're closing.
0:52:41 > 0:52:45'Let's hope Jean Christophe and Margie can gallop to a profit
0:52:45 > 0:52:48'on the next one, their 19th-century opera glasses.'
0:52:48 > 0:52:52A few commissions on them. Start the bidding at ten, 12, 15, 18, 20.
0:52:52 > 0:52:5722 I'm looking for in the room to carry on. 22 with the lady.
0:52:57 > 0:53:0125. 28. 30. 32?
0:53:01 > 0:53:0330. Lady, central. £30...
0:53:06 > 0:53:12'A small profit, and not quite the pearl they'd been hoping for.'
0:53:12 > 0:53:14I'm very sorry.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18'Of course you are, Rosemary.
0:53:18 > 0:53:21'One more for team Rosemary and Paul,
0:53:21 > 0:53:24'the 1940s toy oven and miniature utensils.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27'Might this give them something to play with?'
0:53:27 > 0:53:32Commissions force me to start the bidding at 18, 20, 22, 25, £28.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34- Worth more than that. - 30. 32 with me.
0:53:34 > 0:53:3835? I'm out. Young lady on the front at £35...
0:53:38 > 0:53:41ROSEMARY: It's beautiful! It's beautiful!
0:53:41 > 0:53:45..Anybody else want to join in? It's going to go at £35...
0:53:47 > 0:53:51'Another small profit for the miniature items.'
0:53:51 > 0:53:53We just need one item.
0:53:53 > 0:53:55'Ha! Careful!'
0:53:55 > 0:54:00'Now, it's Jean Christophe and Margie's French fireman's helmet.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02'Will it save the day?'
0:54:02 > 0:54:09Commissions force me to start it at 22, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35.
0:54:09 > 0:54:1138 I need elsewhere.
0:54:11 > 0:54:1238?
0:54:12 > 0:54:14- I'm going to bid it. - 'That's not allowed.'
0:54:14 > 0:54:17Anybody else for £38?
0:54:17 > 0:54:22No, you can't do that! 40, sir. 42. 45? >
0:54:22 > 0:54:26- 42, gentleman standing on my left. Fair warning at £42...- Oh, la la!
0:54:31 > 0:54:35'Sadly, the bidders aren't as keen on it as Jean Christophe was.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37'Oh, la la, indeed.'
0:54:37 > 0:54:41Jean Christophe, how good was that helmet again?
0:54:41 > 0:54:46'Now it's Rosemary and Paul's much beloved Maidsaver kitchen cabinet
0:54:46 > 0:54:49'and accompanying copper pans and kitchenalia.
0:54:52 > 0:54:56'They've thrown everything but the kitchen sink at it. Will it pay off?
0:54:56 > 0:55:03Few commissions on this. Must start them at 48, 50, 55, 60,
0:55:03 > 0:55:0565, £70.
0:55:05 > 0:55:0775? 80 I'll accept elsewhere...
0:55:07 > 0:55:08No?!
0:55:08 > 0:55:12Seems cheap but it's got to go. £75 for the utility stuff.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15Fair warning at 75...
0:55:15 > 0:55:17No, no, no! Mama mia!
0:55:17 > 0:55:22..80, new bid. 85. 90. Must be 90.
0:55:22 > 0:55:26Hey, sit down. Don't take your clothes off.
0:55:26 > 0:55:29..95 I need elsewhere. All done, are we, at £90?
0:55:29 > 0:55:32Hammer's going to drop. Shout at me if I've missed you.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35Oh, no!
0:55:35 > 0:55:40And you've been doing my head all the time for 90 quid?
0:55:40 > 0:55:44'Hard cheese, you two. It's going to be tough to recover from that.'
0:55:44 > 0:55:48I could have used it for my wood fire!
0:55:50 > 0:55:53'Jean Christophe and Margie are currently in the lead.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56'Their fate hangs in the balance on their last lot,
0:55:56 > 0:55:58'the scientific scales.'
0:55:58 > 0:56:04Commissions force me to start them, ten, 12, 15, 18,
0:56:04 > 0:56:05£20.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08- 22 I need. > What did you pay?- Ssh!
0:56:08 > 0:56:1222 with the lady. Anybody else for 25? It's in the balance...
0:56:12 > 0:56:16- It's neck-and-neck. - I'll give you my cooking book!
0:56:16 > 0:56:20- I'll do the washing up for one year! - 'No, you jolly well won't!'
0:56:20 > 0:56:24Oh! The pain in my heart!
0:56:24 > 0:56:27'What a pity, a small loss.'
0:56:27 > 0:56:31£22!
0:56:31 > 0:56:35'So, Rosemary and Paul have one last chance
0:56:35 > 0:56:38'to make up the lost ground and claw back the lead.
0:56:38 > 0:56:43'Will their militaria themed lot of binoculars and pipe win the war?'
0:56:43 > 0:56:47Commissions force me to start them at ten, 12, 15, 18,
0:56:47 > 0:56:4920, £22.
0:56:49 > 0:56:53I need to carry on. 22. 25. 28? I'm out.
0:56:53 > 0:56:57- Who's going to win? £28. - No, no, no, no.
0:56:57 > 0:57:02Needs to be 30 elsewhere. All done? Hammer's going to drop, reluctantly.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05It won't drop. > No! No! No!
0:57:07 > 0:57:09CHEERING
0:57:09 > 0:57:14Thank you, everybody! We love you! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
0:57:14 > 0:57:17'Paul was right, the militaria did make a profit,
0:57:17 > 0:57:19'but not enough to win the day.
0:57:21 > 0:57:24'The teams did make small profits throughout,
0:57:24 > 0:57:30'but the items that Rosemary and Jean Christophe bought blinded by love rather sank them.
0:57:31 > 0:57:35'Jean Christophe thinks they won. Is he right?
0:57:36 > 0:57:38'Rosemary and Paul started with £400.
0:57:38 > 0:57:43'After paying auction costs, they made a not very toothsome loss
0:57:43 > 0:57:45'of £61.48p
0:57:45 > 0:57:49'and end this Road Trip with £338.52p.
0:57:51 > 0:57:55'While Jean Christophe and Margie also started with £400,
0:57:55 > 0:58:00'after costs, they lost a slightly more palatable £45.52p
0:58:00 > 0:58:04'and so end today with £354.48p.
0:58:05 > 0:58:10'And Jean Christophe seems to have won dishwashing duties from the opposition.'
0:58:10 > 0:58:13Congratulations. Well done.
0:58:13 > 0:58:17I've got a new kitchen porter now! That's good.
0:58:17 > 0:58:19In the car, kitchen porter!
0:58:19 > 0:58:23'I think you'll be hearing about this for some time, Rosemary.'
0:58:23 > 0:58:25Oh, I can't believe this!
0:58:25 > 0:58:28Thank you, my friends.
0:58:28 > 0:58:30Bye, chefs!
0:58:30 > 0:58:32'Goodbye, chefs. You've been sweet.'
