0:00:01 > 0:00:03The nation's favourite celebrities...
0:00:03 > 0:00:05We're special then, are we?
0:00:05 > 0:00:09- That's excellent.- ..paired up with an expert...- We're a good team.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12- ..and a classic car.- Oh!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Their mission, to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17- I've no idea what it is. - Oh, I love it.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22- Yes!- But it's no easy ride.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25There's no accounting for taste.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Who will find a hidden gem?
0:00:27 > 0:00:32Who will take the biggest risks? Will anybody follow expert advice?
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- Do you like them?- No.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42- Are you happy?- Yes.- Promise? - Time to put your pedal to the metal.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Today's Celebrity Road Trip is a battle of man versus wife.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Or should I say man versus road?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- Have you got out of second gear at all?- I'm in third!
0:00:58 > 0:00:59I beg your pardon.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Veteran actor, James Bowlam, is in the driving seat today.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Are you going to drive at this speed the whole time?- Yes.- OK.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- I don't want to push the car too hard.- No.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14I'm not like you, tearing round the countryside. SHE LAUGHS
0:01:14 > 0:01:18And our reluctant passenger is James's wife and fellow actor,
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Susan Jameson.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23They are trundling along in a 1969 Morris Minor Traveller.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Its seat belt free, all perfectly legal in classic cars,
0:01:27 > 0:01:28which predate the law,
0:01:28 > 0:01:32and they've had experience of a Morris Minor named Margaret before.
0:01:32 > 0:01:38- I used to drive her a bit, because that's when we first met.- Was it?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Yes, and she was named Margaret, after Margaret Morris,
0:01:41 > 0:01:46- who was the casting...- The casting lady at Granada.- That's right.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50I don't know if she ever knew we'd need a car after her.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53With an acting career spanning over five decades,
0:01:53 > 0:01:58James Bolan was awarded an MBE in 2009 for his services to drama.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Some of his most memorable roles are The Likely Lads,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05When The Boat Comes In and, more recently,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08playing retired officer Jack Halford in New Tricks.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12When we were still in the job Brian applied to university
0:02:12 > 0:02:14as a mature student.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- Really? What happened? - They interviewed him.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Oh.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24James is an antiques amateur,
0:02:24 > 0:02:29but bird lover Susan has a bit more flair for collecting old objects.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33I've no idea what I'm going to buy.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37But you ought to go for some birding pictures and things like that.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- A birdie sculpture would be nice. - A little sculpture.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Susan has also been a star of television
0:02:45 > 0:02:47and radio for over 50 years.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Her first big role was Myra Booth in Coronation Street in the '60s.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55But she's since shared the screen with James many a time,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58from When The Boat Comes In to New Tricks.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Despite their on and off-screen chemistry,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03today is all about opposition.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Who's going to win? - How do I know who's going to win?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Well, I think I am. - You probably will.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Well, if I win, you can
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- do the washing up for a week. - What?!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Yeah. OK?- What if I win?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- You can take me out for a meal. - Oh, cheers.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Win-win for Susan and the challenge is set.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33But our young lovebirds aren't alone in their quest.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Heading their way are two of Britain's foremost antiques experts,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40James Braxton and David Harper.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45And their chariot today is the 1971 convertible Triumph TR6.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- It's a very strange car, this.- Don't you think this sums up the mid-70s?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- We need big hairy chests and medallions.- I know.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56That's more than we could take, thank you very much.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Anyway, back to the game in hand. - So, do you know these celebrities?
0:04:00 > 0:04:05Not personally, but I have been watching them all my life.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09I particularly remember James Bowlam from The Likely Lads.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Do you remember The Likely Lads? - I do know them from New Tricks.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16I know you're fans of them both of them both,
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- but I'd quite like to go with James. - Fine, OK. So I'll go with Susan.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22That's that sorted, then.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Each of our pairs will have £400 to splash as their foray for trinkets
0:04:27 > 0:04:29and treasures takes them on a tour of the seaside.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34They will travel through the coastal county of Sussex before heading
0:04:34 > 0:04:37inland to an auction in Dorking, Surrey.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39But first our duos must come together,
0:04:39 > 0:04:46then divide and conquer, beginning in beautiful Brighton.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48They're probably having a paddle in the sea or something.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51No, it's just that James is driving.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53ALL EXCHANGE GREETINGS
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- Nice to meet you.- We were saying we were a bit envious.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Yes, it's very nice. - And it'll be warm.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I used to have an open car but I got rid of it
0:05:05 > 0:05:08because you got to keep it so tidy.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Because as you driving along everything blows out of the car.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14It does, yeah. So Susan and I are together, you two are together.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17The first couple to finish shopping gets to choose the cars,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- in other words, the Moggie. - Oh, I see. LAUGHTER
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- So we'd better get cracking, then. - Are we going to be fast, Susan?- No.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Oh, no!
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Shall we run, then? Come on.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31He seems keen.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36Brighton is most famous for its iconic Grade 2 listed pier.
0:05:36 > 0:05:43It opened in May 1899 at a cost of £137,000 to build.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Three million people flock to see it every year,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49but this foursome has no time for sightseeing.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- I'm going to rub my lamp. - Whatever works for you, Susan.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55LAUGHTER
0:05:57 > 0:06:02Family run Brighton Lanes Antique Centre is nestling amongst the alleys
0:06:02 > 0:06:06full of independent shops within the city centre's historic quarter.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09This shop is split over two units across an alley,
0:06:09 > 0:06:12and it's an old haunt of James Braxton's.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14So, Team James could be in luck here.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17James, you know this part of the world - is it full of treasure?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- It's full of treasure. James, we'll take the far one.- Right.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- He seems to know where he's going. That's a bit worrying.- I know.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29So Susan and David have to be on the ball to take the advantage.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I think I'm going to need my glasses.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- It's always a good idea to see, Susan. That's the first rule.- Yes.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37That will help.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42- Where do you start?- I always start with the owner.- Turn on the charm?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45We'll try to. I'll leave the charm to you.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Is there anything in particular that you really like?- Silver?
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- Or little sculptury things.- Oh, right.- I like things that have use.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Good.- Rather than just ornamental.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58OK.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04When you're starting out, antique shops can be daunting,
0:07:04 > 0:07:06often rants to the rafters with goodies.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10So picking out a few specifics to look for can stop you being
0:07:10 > 0:07:13overwhelmed and save an awful lot of time.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- It's very expensive, that.- You've got good taste. Expensive taste.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- Is that normal? Do you have expensive tastes generally?- Maybe.- Do you?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- (Except in men.) - Oh, really?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Moving on, next door shop's owner's daughter, Olivia,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37is trying to bowl the chaps over with an antique skittles set.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42So your balls are there, are they? These are your balls?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- They just pull off. - That's quite nice.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50But, contrary to Susan saying she doesn't shop fast,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53she's already spotted a cutlery set that ticks both her boxes.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56It looks like it could be silver and practical.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- Tell me why you were drawn to that. - I like the patterning on it.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- SHE WINCES I say!- Cutlery?!
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Yeah. And there's chopsticks. - Chopsticks.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Yeah, and this is your little container.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- You know you say keep your thumb on the blade and strike upwards?- No!
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Where were you trained? You don't learn this in theatre?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Shakespearian.- I say!
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Looks like David should keep on Susan's good side!
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- It's definitely Chinese or Japanese. - Is it?
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- I thought perhaps it was Indian. - No, I think it's much further east.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- You've got chopsticks. - Of course. Silly me.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35But its shop assistant, Sev,
0:08:35 > 0:08:39whose good side they need to keep on to get a good deal.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42What are you thinking, Sev, material wise?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It's a white metal but there are no hallmarks.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47It has the feel of silver.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51It does and it is the weight of silver but there is no hallmark
0:08:51 > 0:08:54and there are no identifying marks on it at all, are there?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It's a real novelty thing. Novelty works well in auctions.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I would be interested in that if I was at an auction.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Susan's instinct is telling her she could be onto something
0:09:03 > 0:09:08if it's silver, as she suspects, but they are not committing just yet.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Back next door, the chaps have found
0:09:10 > 0:09:13something that could strike a note at auction.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16What about your bugle down there, Livia?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- I've just bought one in the other shop.- Have you?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21There's a silver-plated one across the other side.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28- That's done service, hasn't it? - It looks as if it has.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31LOUD HONKING
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- It's got a lovely tone! - Very good. Very impressed.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36It's got a very nice tone, hasn't it?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39And silver-plated, so it's for a silver band.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- Toby, can you go and get the bugle for me, please?- Look lively, lad.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Got the runner. Ask Sev for it.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Livia's son, Toby, is hanging out with his mum for the day
0:09:48 > 0:09:49during half-term.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53The instrument in question is actually a pocket trumpet
0:09:53 > 0:09:56and, funnily enough, it's right next to Susan and David,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59and it looks like silver and it's practical.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Toby, pop back a minute. Is that going to your mum?- Yes.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- Is James interested? - No idea.- I think they might be.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Does that make you more interested, Susan?- Yes.- It makes me interested.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Playing dirty.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14I like it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16We've got a royal coat of arms there.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21- That's a very nice bit of kit, isn't it? Silver-plated.- I like this.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I like that. It's been silver-plated
0:10:23 > 0:10:25and you can see the copper coming through.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28So that's what we call in the trade bleeding.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Give it a blow!- Well, I'll try.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33FEEBLE TOOTING
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Oh, don't give up the day job.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Meanwhile, Team James are waiting patiently for Toby and the bugle.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Well, actually, it's a pocket trumpet, in the other shop.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Go on, Toby.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48DISTANT TOOTING
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- That's probably Toby! - That's Toby playing the bugle.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52No, it isn't.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54TOOTING
0:10:55 > 0:11:00- Oh!- Susan, that is remarkably bad. - It's my embouchure.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03The silver-plated turn-of-the-century pocket trumpet
0:11:03 > 0:11:06was made in Manchester by Joseph Higham,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08a prolific maker of musical instruments.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11It also carries a royal coat of arms which could help
0:11:11 > 0:11:13pull in the punters at auction.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18- So, how much is this?- I know what the best is on that. 125.- 125.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Date wise, it's got to be late 19th, early 20th-century.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23TRUMPET BLOWS
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Uh-oh, looks like they've been caught in the act.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- I'm just piping on board deck. - THEY LAUGH
0:11:31 > 0:11:33We were in a marching band, what's that?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- That's a coronet, is it, or something?- You're not having this.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- No, we fancy this. Have you bought that?- No, we haven't bought it.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45HE BLOWS, THEY LAUGH
0:11:45 > 0:11:47SHE BLOWS THE BUGLE
0:11:47 > 0:11:52- It's a battle of the duelling bugles.- Very good.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56HE BLOWS That's terrible.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58This has got a great sound.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03That just sounds like some old car that's not very well!
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I love it. I think we need to find out a bit more about it.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08DAVID: Do you quite fancy that? Livia?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Can we have you?- You can have me.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Susan is not only snatching the trumpet from under
0:12:13 > 0:12:17her husband's nose, but she is also taking Livia from them too.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- Right.- We like this.- Talk to us about this.- Only just come in.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22- It hasn't gone out.- Right.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Being charitable, you can have it for £100.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Put it this way, I'd put it in the shop for more,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- so you're getting a bargain. - OK, OK.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- Can't do a tiny bit less? Tiny?- 90. 90, then.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Oh, Susan is good, isn't she?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41And whilst they're at it,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44they're trying to get a deal for the cutlery set too.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Any compromise between the two?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Being charitable, 140.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57- Well, decision time? Is it 140 or nothing?- 140 or nothing.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- OK, it's 140 or nothing. We've got £400.- Yeah, go on.- Let's do it.
0:13:00 > 0:13:06- Thank you very much. - Absolutely.- OK. Well done.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09But whilst Mum is busy and with no ticket price,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13James and James are trying to put in a cheeky offer on the bugle.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Toby? 20 quid for this.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20- Well done. Good man.- I am not sure that is strictly above board.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Meanwhile, the other team haven't finished yet.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29- Can I show you something that I really love?- Yes, you can.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34I just think it is incredibly stylish, a big lump of glass,
0:13:34 > 0:13:39- hand blown.- I don't like it. I don't think the top goes with the bottom.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42You know what, you are brilliant, because you are so right.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Susan is definitely getting the hang of this.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48That top is probably Venetian, could be Murano.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51You're right, that lacquered stand was made in China.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54That's too big and hefty to go with the glass.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55They've been married together.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57People do buy those Chinese stands
0:13:57 > 0:14:00and you would be amazed what these things can make. Even though...
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I am in your hands.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- You're going to blame me if it all goes wrong, though?!- No.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- I like this, James, don't you?- I think we have done a good deal there.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13It's a great deal. Toby, has this been ratified by your mother?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Has she approved the deal?
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- Yes.- There we are. Toby, thank you very much.- What do you say?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Shake hands? Thank you. - Toby, thank you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28You've got all of the Jameses and Mum, thank you very much indeed.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Thank you.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32As Susan swiped the trumpet
0:14:32 > 0:14:34before they even got the chance to look at it,
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Team James are left with just the military bugle for £20.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41So that means the chaps could be getting cosy in the Minor
0:14:41 > 0:14:45if they choose, rather than shivering in the open-top Triumph.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Here we are. We've finished. We're all done.- What's that?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51This is a bugle. What's this?!
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- It took a lot of negotiation, I can tell you.- And horn blowing, we heard.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Lovely tone, this one.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Well, not what we heard, James, was it someone else playing?
0:15:01 > 0:15:06- So, we have won the car, have we? - We're off. We're all done. Bye.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Do you think they might do the gentlemanly thing?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- I doubt it.- That's for you to know!
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Come on, let's go.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19David has not given up convincing Susan that the glass bowl
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- and stand is for them.- I will try and capture you with price.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- Livy, hello.- Hi.- Oh, and Toby as well.- Toby as well! Half term.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32There's a lovely bowl in the other shop, a blue one, you know the one?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I know the bowl. 125. It's stunning.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37It's a lovely bit of art glass, isn't it?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- Very pretty.- Can we split them? Can you sell the bowl for 40?
0:15:41 > 0:15:46- You can have them both for 100.- What about 70 for the two?- Give me 90.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Make it 80 and I will have it. - 80 for the two? Go on.- Good.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Thank you very much.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55That's three items, the cutlery set,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57the silver-plated pocket trumpet
0:15:57 > 0:16:01and the Murano glass bowl and stand for £220.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04And to top it all, the Jameses had even left them
0:16:04 > 0:16:06the cosy Morris Minor.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- Oh, bless.- Oh, my goodness me.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13They're going for the public, "We're nice guys."
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- No, I think they couldn't remember where it was.- Do you think so?!
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Meanwhile, Team James are taking the Triumph TR6 north to Lewes
0:16:24 > 0:16:26East Sussex, with the top up,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28so that the wind doesn't mess up their hair. Oh.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33So, have you ever played the elderly antique dealer yet?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- No, no, missed all that, I'm afraid.- Missed all that.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40I suppose one does get involved in antiques in a certain way.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44We do something like When The Boat Comes In, of course,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47you get all of these First World War uniforms.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52Oh, but team James has still got plenty of money to play with.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Is there anything you are particularly interested in,
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- antique-wise? - Well, not really, you see, at home,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03we don't have any sort of antiques, really.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05We always have dogs and cats.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09You can't surround yourself with objets d'art.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- Where do you put all those trophies and accolades, then?- I don't get any!
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- Rubbish!- I don't get any accolades! - Apart from the MBEs.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Oh, well, that, yes. - HE LAUGHS
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Yes, there is that.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26With the break in their shopping,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29the chaps were in Lewes to learn about a local landmark,
0:17:29 > 0:17:33one of the oldest breweries in the UK, Harvey & Sons.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39The Harvey family have been in the alcohol industry
0:17:39 > 0:17:41since the late 18th century.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44John Harvey established the brewery here in 1838.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47The business has since been passed down through
0:17:47 > 0:17:51eight generations of the family and they are still in charge today.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Managing director, Miles Jenner, may not be related to the Harveys,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58but he followed in his own father's footsteps,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Anthony Jenner, who was once the MD and head brewer.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08Harveys is the most beautiful example of a Victorian Gothic style.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Very much the formal landmark to this area of Lewes
0:18:12 > 0:18:15and rather irreverently known locally as Lewes Cathedral.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17THEY LAUGH
0:18:17 > 0:18:21As trade increased, the original brewhouse became worn,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23so they needed to replace it.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28It was rebuilt in 1881 by a very famous brewery architect
0:18:28 > 0:18:33called William Bradford, and he produced a typical tower brewery.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35And the whole principle of brewing is literally
0:18:35 > 0:18:40- dropping from the top to the bottom by gravity.- Yes, wonderful.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43The brewery used to take water directly from the River Ouse,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45and pump it up to the top of the tower,
0:18:45 > 0:18:49using gravity to drop the water through the brewing process.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Even though the site has been modernised,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55traditional methods are key to this family-run business,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58which had been noted down through its history
0:18:58 > 0:19:00in special handwritten ledgers.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02So, these are all brewing journals?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I have volumes and volumes,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07every single one handwritten at the end of the day's brewing.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Which is what has happened to the beer, or...?
0:19:09 > 0:19:14It's the raw materials that have gone into the beer. And any notes,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17anything that has happened during the day that we should be aware of.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- One year, this place was flooded, wasn't it?- Absolutely, yes.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23We've a flood entry in our journal.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27We had two brews, we've got the flood brew at the top.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32And that all went out and was bottled as Ouse booze.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Some of the journals date back almost 200 years.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41One of the first is original founder John Harvey's
0:19:41 > 0:19:45from the 1830s, detailing the odd brewing catastrophe.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47"A bad job today.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50"The pipes burst in the river and we had to brew from the river water.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54"First brewing today, very thick and muddy."
0:19:54 > 0:19:57THEY LAUGH
0:19:57 > 0:20:00So, it is a piece of social history.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02It's not just problems recorded -
0:20:02 > 0:20:07one of the previous head brewers also included personal highlights.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12"This morning, 7:12, my wife confined with a little girl."
0:20:12 > 0:20:16So, birth intermingled into the brewing records.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Harveys produced 36,000 barrels of beer every year.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Their traditional ales aren't pasteurised,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26so the yeast remains active.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29For the last 50 years, they have skimmed off yeast from each brew
0:20:29 > 0:20:30to re-use it in the next batch,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33helping to maintain a consistent flavour.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36And at the end of a day's shopping, it would be rude
0:20:36 > 0:20:39not to sample the local speciality!
0:20:39 > 0:20:44We're going to try the best bitter, which is 90% of our volume.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50It was evolved, really, after the Second World War as a local brand.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- Cheers.- Cheers. Cheers, good health. - Lovely to see you.- Good health.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- It's lovely, isn't it? Isn't that right?- That's really, really dry.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Very much characteristic of the Sussex beer -
0:21:02 > 0:21:06good, hot character, but the sweetness there to balance it.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10And I think brewers by and large, certainly of my generation,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12look for balanced beer.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- When you lose your balance, you've had enough.- Exactly! It's very good.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19It's delicious. Well, we will tip those away.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21James isn't happy with that!
0:21:21 > 0:21:24The idea of somebody taking my beer out of my hand
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- and throwing it down the sink! - Do we have to go, James?
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Think we have to, I'm afraid. We must.- Oh, dear.- Thank you so much.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Thank you for coming.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Probably best leave the car until tomorrow, though.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- No driving for us, James, is there?- Shanks's pony.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45While the fellows have been supping Sussex's special brew,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Susan and David have been pootling along to Peacehaven.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50So, what about you and Jim? When did you meet?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- We met on The Lads. Likely Lads.- Oh, OK.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55So, what did you think of him when you first saw him?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- I thought he was a bit loud. - HE LAUGHS
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- He thought I was a bit stuck up.- No!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02And you still get on really well together, don't you?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Yeah, yeah, really do. Yeah, it's great.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- That's probably special after all of these years.- Mmmm.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Susan and David are heading to this divine seaside town to spend
0:22:12 > 0:22:15some of the £180 still in their pockets.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Now, then, is there a competitive streak in your game?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- Oh, I shall win.- Really?- But I don't have a competitive streak.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26It's confident, though. Great confidence there.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- I'm just being realistic.- Right, OK.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33So, you look at the competition, your Jim and James Braxton
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- and you are confident. - They've got no chance.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- I'm agree with you.- OK. - That's fighting talk there.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44But they must shop well, if they are going to stand a chance at auction.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47The next stop is the family-run Collectors Haven.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Here we are.- Look at this. - I like the sale.
0:22:53 > 0:23:00- And manning the fort today is owner Steve Newman.- Hey.- Hi, hello. Hello.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05- Right, so, well.- Treasure trove in here.- Dive in. Dive in.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- Yet again, Susan is quick off the mark.- What have you got there?
0:23:13 > 0:23:18- It's a lizard.- Oh, nice. - It's sandal, sandalwood.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- Is it sandalwood?- Yeah. - Let's have a look at that.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Tell me why you are drawn to that?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Cos I like lizards.- Do you? - I'll put my glasses on.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- Actually, it is really well carved, I have got to say.- It's lovely.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Do you know, I like this. - I'm not knocking him.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I think he's really incredibly well done.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36OK, he's bonkers. He's got no age to him.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Stevie's in such a good mood that we know we could get that...
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Get him for £3.
0:23:40 > 0:23:46- Yes, well...- I'm sure we can... I'm sure we can let that one go.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Susan's following her heart and she seems to be on a roll here.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- Oh, hello. - Oh, hello, another animal.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Inevitably.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55These look like temple dogs.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59That's exactly what they are - Buddhistic, protecting lion dogs.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Very tactile.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- You like 'em?- They feel so nice in your hands.- Let me have a feel.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06- They do.- Don't they?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- They are made to be touched and to be held.- Yeah.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11They are sadly quite modern.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Nevertheless...- Nevertheless, they're very interesting.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Do you like them?- I do.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- I do.- Are they talking to you? - Yeah, they are.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Seriously? - They spoke to me in there.- Really?
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Have you been to the doctor's, or...?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Yes, he said it's going to happen more and more,
0:24:27 > 0:24:28as I get older!
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- I like 'em.- I like them, actually.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34But they'd have to be cheap.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36They don't always have a lizard with them.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39You see, cos you'd have a lizard in a temple.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42I think Susan will be getting her way with that lizard.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44What do you think, Steve?
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Erm...
0:24:45 > 0:24:49I'd offer them to you for 25.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50How does that sound?
0:24:52 > 0:24:53WHISPERS: Rubbish.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56No, I don't think it's rubbish,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I think it's a reasonable place to start.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00She's on fire.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Who needs David?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Bearing in mind we might almost certainly be having the lizard.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Oh, right. - I'd take a very small profit at 20.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Would that suit you?
0:25:11 > 0:25:15I think that's quite acceptable. Are we including the lizard in that 20?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I'll include the lizard in the deal as well.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Excuse me - how on Earth did she do that?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24The dogs, that's the thing.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26You see, they've been in my hands, they told me how to do it.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Whatever works, Susan.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I think a spot of the Jameson charm helped, though.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34So that's £20 for their fourth lot of the day,
0:25:34 > 0:25:38the hand-carved lizard and the pair of soapstone temple dogs.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Bye-bye, bye-bye, thank you.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42A fantastic first day for both teams
0:25:42 > 0:25:45in this husband-versus-wife challenge.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47That was the best bit of negotiating I've seen in years.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Oh, thank you.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53And now all that's left is for the sun to turn its light off.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Nighty-night.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Another day dawns and both of our antiques amateurs
0:26:02 > 0:26:05and aficionados are raring to go.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Oh, watch out!
0:26:07 > 0:26:09That's the end of that car.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12They don't make 'em like that any more. Oh, dear.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16We've got to get our act together today, me and James.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17I think you have.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- I'm not sure how much expertise is actually exercised.- Not a lot!
0:26:21 > 0:26:23He was quite an expert in the brewery, I thought.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Yes, you spent rather a long time in there.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30But Susan was having a rather lovely time herself with David.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- He's fab.- Good.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Yes, we're quite simpatico.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38I think I'm probably going to run off with him at the end of the day.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Fantastic, fantastic. - I knew you'd be glad.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Liar. While they bumble along in the Morris Minor Traveller,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47James and David are tearing it up in the Triumph TR6.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51How did you get on with the lovely Susan yesterday?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Well, wasn't she fun? She really is an absolute cracker.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56She's a very nice lady.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58What an attractive lady.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I think she's one of those people just generally interested in life.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Yeah.- And anything.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Sounds like David's smitten with Susan too.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09She's even charmed opposition James.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- She's a cracking eye. What a little negotiator.- Really?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15The final chap was mauled by a lamb.
0:27:15 > 0:27:21I'm yet to test James, one - on what he wants to buy,
0:27:21 > 0:27:25and two - whether he's as good a negotiator as his wife.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Good luck on that one. I doubt it very much.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Crack negotiator and super-charmer Susan,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35and David, have splashed out £240 on a Japanese cutlery set,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38a silver-plated pocket trumpet,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41a glass bowl and stand, a hand-carved lizard
0:27:41 > 0:27:44and a pair of temple dogs, as you do,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46leaving them with £160 to spend today.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Team James has only spent £20 so far on a military bugle,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54so they've got £380 to spend wisely today,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57if James Bolam would rather take his wife out to dinner
0:27:57 > 0:27:59than have a week of washing up.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00Ha!
0:28:01 > 0:28:03This is the right way, I hope.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08There isn't a sat nav in this, believe it or not.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10It's back to the seaside for our treasure seekers,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13who are descending on the costal town of Bexhill.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16James and David are catching some rays
0:28:16 > 0:28:18as they wait for Susan and James.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Again.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Where are they? Come on!
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Look at that moggie - isn't she gorgeous?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26- Good, isn't it?- Loving it.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Oh, I say...!
0:28:28 > 0:28:30ALL: Morning! Morning!
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- Nicely rested?- Yes.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Hang on a minute, we're all kind of like on trend...
0:28:35 > 0:28:37I'm very dark and sombre, aren't I?
0:28:37 > 0:28:38I like it, I like it.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40A man who means business.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41- Oh!- Ah!
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Makes me feel very confident.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Anyway, we struck lucky, we're in here, James.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Wonderful.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49- They're off along the coast. - You'll want that, then, won't you?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Shall I do the honours, madam?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53I think you'd better, my legs are too short.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54Good luck, chaps.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55Good luck, good luck.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Not too much.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Team James has the whole
0:29:01 > 0:29:05of the huge antique furniture and vintage fitting shop, Eras of Style,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07at their fingertips.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11We've found the right place here, James. Enormous variety here.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14There are 11 rooms inside and an outside garden area,
0:29:14 > 0:29:17so thousands of items to choose from here.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19James Bolam's a keen golfer,
0:29:19 > 0:29:24and keeping an eye out for handy bits of kit is par for the course.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27£25.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28You see, that's lovely, isn't it?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- A lovely bit of design, isn't it? - Absolutely, marvellous.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34You can have that on your golf bag, you see?
0:29:34 > 0:29:37While you're waiting for your partner to line up his putt.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Yeah.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- Sit down and... - That's perfect, isn't it?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46It's atually a three-legged, folding shooting stick,
0:29:46 > 0:29:50but it can be used for other outdoor pursuits,
0:29:50 > 0:29:51which could help at auction.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Good find, James. What else have you got?
0:29:54 > 0:29:58- Look at these, carved.- Yeah.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01And all carved out of a single piece of wood.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Probably from somewhere like Nigeria or somewhere, isn't it?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07I don't know, I've never seen anything like it before.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08Brilliant, yeah.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11You can see the form of it, can't you?
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- That's amazing, it's wonderful.- Yeah. 125.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18You'd get it for a lot less than that.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Yeah, we'll get it for a lot less.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- Do you like that, then, James? - I do, actually. Don't you?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25I think it's unusual.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27James started out not knowing what he wanted,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30but he's getting into the swing of things.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Susan's love of birds may have rubbed off on him,
0:30:32 > 0:30:37but a hefty ticket price of £295 could put these bronze cranes
0:30:37 > 0:30:40out of their league.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42- Cranes?- I think they're cranes, aren't they?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45They've got some good feet, they're cemented into something.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47They weight a ton, I should think.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Ooh, I can't lift them! They're rather splendid, aren't they?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- They're nice, aren't they?- They are.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55I think they might be another candidate. Do you like them?
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Sue would like them, I'm sure.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- Cos she loves birds. - That's always good.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Always good to buy something that somebody else has slightly...
0:31:04 > 0:31:07She'd go, "Ooh, I should have bought them."
0:31:07 > 0:31:12So with three potential items, the fellas find owner Andy Towle
0:31:12 > 0:31:16to try and strike a deal, starting with the £125 African table.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21- I'd do that for £70, if it helps. - IN COCKNEY ACCENT:- £70, yeah.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I think that's fair. I think that's excellent.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Yeah, we'll have a go at that. Let's take that, shall we?
0:31:27 > 0:31:28Yes, lovely. Thank you.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Well, there wasn't much negotiation there.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33They must be pretty confident with what they've chosen.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- Is there anything else you've seen? - I quite like those cranes.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39The cranes out in the garden.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42They're sold, I'm afraid.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- They're sold? - Sold, are they?- They are.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I sold those at the weekend.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- So they're out.- Well, that's that plan out of the window.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53So the fellas head back on the hunt for a replacement.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57This is a wine cooler, silver-plated,
0:31:57 > 0:31:59it's not a lot of money.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01If we're struggling a bit,
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I might introduce this as a candidate to James.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Meanwhile, Susan and David have edged east
0:32:08 > 0:32:10towards St Leonards-on-Sea
0:32:10 > 0:32:13as they reminisce about the '60s.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Tell me about Coronation Street. - Coronation Street, yeah.- Fun?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18It was extraordinary, actually.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22We did the rehearsals and on the Friday lunchtime,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26- somebody turned up and gave me a brown envelope.- Oh, yeah?
0:32:26 > 0:32:31- I thought, "Ooh!", and I had a look inside and there was £25 in it!- £25?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34And then I discovered that it wasn't my wages.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36It was my expenses for the week.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- For the week?- For the week.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41I'd never had expenses before
0:32:41 > 0:32:44and never seen that amount of money all in one envelope before.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- That's champagne expenses back then! - Just fantastic.
0:32:47 > 0:32:53Sadly for Susan, she has to spend her remaining £180 on shopping,
0:32:53 > 0:32:54not champagne. Ha!
0:32:54 > 0:32:59The next stop is the Kings Road Bazaar in the heart of St Leonards.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03- Right, here we are. Let's go do some seaside shopping.- OK.
0:33:03 > 0:33:08This indoor emporium is home to 14 separate stalls.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13- Today, we're in the capable Hands of stallholder Clive.- Hello, there.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- Hi, there. Susan.- Hello, Clive, I'm Sue.- Hi, there.- Pleased to meet you.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19With four lots already in the old bag,
0:33:19 > 0:33:21they're looking for something unique.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26We're looking to buy a good auction lot, which means probably small,
0:33:26 > 0:33:30good quality, a bit out of the ordinary, quirky.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- A bit like Susan. - THEY LAUGH
0:33:33 > 0:33:35That's quite quirky.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Outside garden tap with a dog on the top of it.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41If you like dogs.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- I think we do like dogs. - We do like dogs.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45It's in keeping with everything else.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- This is brass, yes? - It's definitely brass.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Look at the way it's patinated
0:33:50 > 0:33:52through years and years of age.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Lots of people turning that tap on and off.- Exactly.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00A 1930s tap may not be practical if you don't have an older pipe system,
0:34:00 > 0:34:03but it still has a novelty value.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Anything to do with animals,
0:34:05 > 0:34:07particularly dogs and cats,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10people go bonkers.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- Anything to do with animals is me. - It's not too "deer" either.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Oh, God. Have you been waiting for years to do that?
0:34:16 > 0:34:20- I just realised it was sitting there. - I like that.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22It's marked at £12,
0:34:22 > 0:34:26but top negotiator Susan Jameson is on the case.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28What can you do us on this little dog?
0:34:28 > 0:34:29I'm going to leave this to you.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- A cracking deal on the little dog? - He's a lovely little dog.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35I realise that is a fairly reasonable price,
0:34:35 > 0:34:37but if you can do us any favours at all...
0:34:37 > 0:34:40We've got £12 on that.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42If we went up to 15,
0:34:42 > 0:34:44because it should be 20 to start with, how does that sound?
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Hmm...
0:34:46 > 0:34:49- Not too good.- Nice move, Susan.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51I liked your "too deer" joke.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53I did laugh.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57I suppose that's cost me a couple of pound already, hasn't it?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- That's a couple of quid on. - I know.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Shall we call it a straight ten then?
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Any more? Any advance on that, at all?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- 9.99?- Eight?
0:35:05 > 0:35:09She's bringing out that Jameson charm again...
0:35:09 > 0:35:128.50. I like to haggle - I like the last 50 pence.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14(8.25.)
0:35:14 > 0:35:158.30.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Eh...28.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20£8.28 you can have it for, my dear.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- 8.28.- 8.28. Thank you very much.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28Susan, negotiator extraordinaire has done it again,
0:35:28 > 0:35:31with a £3.72 pence saving,
0:35:31 > 0:35:34that's the final lot for Susan and David.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39A 1930s tap at the bargain price of £8.28p.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Back in Bexhill, it's good news for the chaps,
0:35:44 > 0:35:47as the bronze cranes were only on reserve,
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Andy has changed his mind and they're up for grabs again.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53What price are they?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- 295, they are.- 295?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57That's a biggie, isn't it?
0:35:57 > 0:35:59It is a biggie. It's too biggie, I think.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03- They're quite solid, aren't they? - They're very solid.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05They're just a good thing - nice pair.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- It's a lot of money. - It IS a lot of money.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Two and a half if it helps...
0:36:09 > 0:36:13It's a punt - I don't think you could buy them for 250...
0:36:13 > 0:36:15if you went to a garden centre.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- OK. Well, let's go for it then. - Do you think so?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- Yup.- Good. I think they're a good one.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24I think it's a real punt, but I think they might do well.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28It's a massive gamble - if the cranes bomb they've had it
0:36:28 > 0:36:32and James Bolam will have a lot of washing up to do.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- What about that folding stand? - Yeah, can we have the little...?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- I'll throw it in for a tenner. - You'll throw it in for a tenner?
0:36:38 > 0:36:40I think I've got the fifth lot.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44- Oh, right. - Just you stay there.- Right, I see.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47We're on the edge of our seats(!)
0:36:47 > 0:36:49It's got a bit age here.
0:36:49 > 0:36:54It's silver plate. Oysters ready, the shallots cut...
0:36:56 > 0:36:59I'm persuaded, are you?
0:36:59 > 0:37:00Andy...tenner??
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- I can't do a tenner. - What can you do?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- I can do it for 20 quid. - 20 quid.- That's about us...
0:37:05 > 0:37:09We got any left? Yes, we have - just about.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- Shall we do it? Then we're all done. - Then we're all done.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Andy, thank you very munch indeed.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Thank you, Andy, very much.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20After a flurry of activity, the chaps have four items from Andy -
0:37:20 > 0:37:21the African table,
0:37:21 > 0:37:24the cranes, the shooting stick and the ice bucket,
0:37:24 > 0:37:26all for £350.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Confident buying, chaps, just hope it pays off at auction.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Thank you very much indeed!
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Meanwhile, Susan and David are belting towards Battle.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40The town was formed after William the Conqueror built an abbey on
0:37:40 > 0:37:44the site of his most famous victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47But Susan and David are saving their fight to the finish
0:37:47 > 0:37:49for the auction room.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52With their shopping complete, and as Susan's a bird lover,
0:37:52 > 0:37:56where better to visit than a Sussex shrine to the world's most
0:37:56 > 0:38:00fascinating and mystical of birds, the dodo?
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Let's go and see some dodo birds.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Good idea.- Sounds good.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05I wish we could.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- I know.- Wish they were still around.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- I know.- The dodo may have been extinct for hundreds of years,
0:38:11 > 0:38:14but one man is keeping their memory alive at
0:38:14 > 0:38:16the appropriately-named Dodo House.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19I think this is it.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20I think it is.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21THEY LAUGH
0:38:21 > 0:38:25How many can you count? My gosh, they're everywhere.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Look at this.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Are you a big dodo fan?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30I'm all birds.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34But it's 84-year-old Ralph Whistler who's possibly the biggest
0:38:34 > 0:38:37doter of all things dodo.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- Hello.- Hello.- Hello.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44Welcome to The Dodo House.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Thank you. Two dodos coming in.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Ralph built a career looking after wildlife reserves in the States,
0:38:50 > 0:38:52but for the last 30 years,
0:38:52 > 0:38:56he's gathered the world's largest collection of dodo memorabilia,
0:38:56 > 0:38:59including a four-foot model,
0:38:59 > 0:39:02a dodo made of fabric and engine parts...
0:39:03 > 0:39:05..and a sculpted wooden replica.
0:39:06 > 0:39:11The extinct flightless bird evolved from a pigeon on Mauritius.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Over time, plentiful food
0:39:13 > 0:39:18and no predators meant that they grew larger their wings smaller,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21which wasn't a problem until sailors arrived.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24So the dodo was first seen on Mauritius?
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Well, maybe 1550 - we don't know exactly.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31When did the dodo finally disappear?
0:39:31 > 0:39:37The dodo disappeared about 1680, as far as we know. A long time ago.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40So the dodo had no predators?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42It had no enemies to start off with
0:39:42 > 0:39:47and then man came along with his animals...
0:39:47 > 0:39:51with all its dogs or cats or rats from the ships
0:39:51 > 0:39:55could eat the baby dodos.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Although dodos were only native to Mauritius,
0:39:58 > 0:40:00some were shipped back to Europe.
0:40:00 > 0:40:06They did have a live one down in London on Piccadilly,
0:40:06 > 0:40:12in the 1650s, and you could pay sixpence or a groat and feed it.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16And that lasted a few years on Piccadilly.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18They were obviously thought of as exotic creatures.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Yes, cos they look so extraordinary.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25The fascination with birds has been in his family for years.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Ralph's ornithologist father Hugh Whistler had been given some
0:40:29 > 0:40:30dodo bones as a teenager,
0:40:30 > 0:40:34which had been found on Mauritius in the 1860s.
0:40:34 > 0:40:39On his father's death in 1953, Ralph inherited the bones.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41These are genuine dodo bones?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43These are genuine dodo bones,
0:40:43 > 0:40:45as dug up by this chap, who was a missionary.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- He knew what he was digging up? - Yes.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52He was determined to try and find out what had happened to the dodo,
0:40:52 > 0:40:53but he knew it had existed.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58He sent them back to the Natural History Museum in London,
0:40:58 > 0:41:01to the head of the museum, who was a bone expert,
0:41:01 > 0:41:04and he immediately confirmed that these were dodo bones.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08A lot of people think, as they did then, that they were just a figment
0:41:08 > 0:41:13of someone's imagination. Almost with the discovery of these bones,
0:41:13 > 0:41:17- its memory is...- Resurrected. - ..resurrected. Is that right?
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- Absolutely.- It's like Lazarus - it's just risen.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22And now the world knows about the dodo?
0:41:22 > 0:41:27So these bones led to all this amazing collection?
0:41:27 > 0:41:29After a bit, I decided to take everything
0:41:29 > 0:41:31I could find about the dodo.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Once the dodo's existence had been proven and the
0:41:34 > 0:41:39Natural History Museum had reconstructed the bird from fossilised bones,
0:41:39 > 0:41:43interpretations of what it may have looked like began popping up.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47Most famously, the dodo appeared as a character
0:41:47 > 0:41:50in Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland in 1865,
0:41:50 > 0:41:54and was illustrated by Sir John Tenniel.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58People began to suddenly realise that it's not just in Lewis Carroll,
0:41:58 > 0:42:02it actually was a real bird, not something really made up.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07I think that also reminds people just how easy it is to lose a species,
0:42:07 > 0:42:11so the dodo has done an awful to of good in that respect.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12We must be so careful.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16One of the quickest items ever to be made extinct.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20Let's hope the example of the dodo and people knowing about it make us
0:42:20 > 0:42:22treasure what we've got a little more.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26In the last 500 years, human activity has forced over
0:42:26 > 0:42:29800 species into extinction.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32It's commendable people like Ralph
0:42:32 > 0:42:34remind us just how precious creatures are,
0:42:34 > 0:42:36and how careful we should be.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38I'm just going to have one last dodo stroke.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48While Susan and David have been brushing up on the dodo,
0:42:48 > 0:42:50with some solid purchases in the bag,
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Team James are taking the time to
0:42:52 > 0:42:55sample more of Sussex's specialities.
0:42:55 > 0:43:00- Oh, splendid.- Cheers. Well done. Well shopped.- And you.- Very well shopped.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- Here's to us.- Here's to us.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Here's to our win.- Mm.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07As usual, the fellows are confident,
0:43:07 > 0:43:10even though one could say they are resting on their laurels.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14They'll be looking at dodos now, won't they?
0:43:14 > 0:43:18That could be a symbol of what their purchases are going to be.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Dead as a dodo!
0:43:23 > 0:43:27The boys may be all cocky now, but it's time for the big reveal.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29Team James are up first.
0:43:29 > 0:43:33- That's quite a few items, isn't it? - Gosh, we've got carved heads there.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35African, made out of one piece.
0:43:35 > 0:43:36I quite like that.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39Then we've got a standard kind of wine bucket -
0:43:39 > 0:43:41silver plated, I'm hoping.
0:43:41 > 0:43:42And then...
0:43:42 > 0:43:46- Oh! Oh!- Ah!
0:43:46 > 0:43:48A shooting stick.
0:43:48 > 0:43:49That's quite good, I've got to say.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51And then we've got a pair of concrete birds.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53No, bronze.
0:43:53 > 0:43:57So that makes five lots for the Jameses.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59Susan and David also have five lots.
0:43:59 > 0:44:00Prepare to be amazed.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04Is that made out of one piece of wood?
0:44:04 > 0:44:07The stand itself is from China and then at some point,
0:44:07 > 0:44:13someone has put a 1960s/70s Murano glass bowl on top of it.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15- Hand-blown.- Hand-blown.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18That is a lovely item. What a tremendous piece of glass -
0:44:18 > 0:44:20- it's huge.- We like that. We do.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22Almost as big as our piece of glass, isn't it?
0:44:22 > 0:44:24- The tap is glorious. - We love the tap.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26- Chinese as well, is it? - No, it's an English one.
0:44:26 > 0:44:30- British.- What's that? A clothes brush of some sort?
0:44:30 > 0:44:32Nope, it's a Japanese cutlery set.
0:44:32 > 0:44:33No! Japanese cutlery set.
0:44:33 > 0:44:38And I must boast here, cos I said I think it feels like silver.
0:44:38 > 0:44:40We weren't sure - it's been verified.
0:44:40 > 0:44:41Very nice.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44The cutlery set wasn't hallmarked,
0:44:44 > 0:44:46but the in-house jeweller at the shop
0:44:46 > 0:44:49they bought it from tested it with acid and confirmed it is silver.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52This isn't only a battle of man versus wife,
0:44:52 > 0:44:54it's also a battle of bugle versus trumpet!
0:44:54 > 0:44:56Three, two, one...
0:44:56 > 0:44:58BUGLES HONK
0:44:59 > 0:45:01Absolutely dreadful.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03He's now gone deaf.
0:45:03 > 0:45:04Pardon?
0:45:04 > 0:45:08Good luck, the two Jameses. Very best of luck.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10We shall see you.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13But what do they really think of each other's items?
0:45:13 > 0:45:19Amazing that we've both got glass-topped...not tables but...
0:45:19 > 0:45:23- Musical instruments.- I think they've got nice stuff but ours is better.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27- I agree with you.- I like the little silver set and I like that dog,
0:45:27 > 0:45:30but ace in the hole...lizard.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33- Team work!- I like their confidence but the other team aren't short of that either.
0:45:33 > 0:45:36- I think we're on a winner here. - I think we're on a winner.
0:45:36 > 0:45:40No question about it. I don't think their trumpet's going to do anything.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43The tap looks very mail-order, to me.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47And their little table, what use is it?
0:45:47 > 0:45:50In the end, who wants a tiny pair of silver chopsticks?
0:45:50 > 0:45:54- Again, it's no use to anybody, is it? - It's an ornament.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57It may be silver - pfft - silver-schmilver.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59Not even quietly confident - I'm confident.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03I don't know about you but I can't wait to see who wins.
0:46:03 > 0:46:08Both our celebrities and experts have take 123-mile tour of the
0:46:08 > 0:46:13South Coast, starting in Brighton at their final stop in Dorking, Surrey.
0:46:13 > 0:46:17It's James's turn in the driving seat again as they make
0:46:17 > 0:46:21their way to the market town in the heart of the Surrey hills.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23You're quite a poor loser actually.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25What do you mean a poor loser?
0:46:25 > 0:46:28There you are you see - you get a bit grumpy.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30What?!
0:46:30 > 0:46:31So where are they, David?
0:46:31 > 0:46:34I don't know where they are. I think they like to make a late entrance.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36What's that in the middle of the roundabout?
0:46:36 > 0:46:41It's a great big silver cock. It's very big.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44The ten-foot high sculpture celebrates the Dorking chicken,
0:46:44 > 0:46:47a bird associated with the town since the 19th century,
0:46:47 > 0:46:50when it became one of the biggest producers of high-quality poultry.
0:46:50 > 0:46:51Not a lot of people know that.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54- Are you confident? - Definitely.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56I've seen the things we've bought
0:46:56 > 0:46:58and I've seen the things you've bought...
0:46:58 > 0:47:01- Yeah, why are we confident then?! - ..and I'm definitely confident.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03Meanwhile, James and Susan are still struggling
0:47:03 > 0:47:05to find the auction house - as usual.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08JAMES: Yeah, it's some sports centre or something, isn't it?
0:47:08 > 0:47:09- Oh, it's a care centre. - Care centre.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12- No, not yet.- They'll keep you in if you go there.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14Well, I'm more confident.
0:47:14 > 0:47:15- Really?- Yeah.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17I'm always confident with my things.
0:47:17 > 0:47:21Finally, they've made it to Crow's Auction Gallery,
0:47:21 > 0:47:23who've been auctioneering for over 100 years.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26- ALL:- Good morning.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Nice to see you.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31- Partner. How are you, opposition? - Very good.- Good.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34Shaking, shaking, I've got her worried now.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Welcome to the day of the lizard.
0:47:36 > 0:47:38Oh-ho-ho!
0:47:38 > 0:47:41I can just see the headlines now - "The Day Of The Lizard."
0:47:41 > 0:47:43- Lizard breaks all record. - Lizard triumphs.
0:47:43 > 0:47:47Auctioneer of 30 years Tom Lofts has already taken a look
0:47:47 > 0:47:49at the two teams' lots.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53The piece I'm looking forward to selling most is probably
0:47:53 > 0:47:56the Murano glass bowl and the stand. It's a nice lot.
0:47:56 > 0:48:01The cranes in bronze, sadly, have been painted,
0:48:01 > 0:48:05so I'm a little bit at a loss of how to value them.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07The shooting stick...
0:48:07 > 0:48:09I'll be amazed if we get a bidder for it.
0:48:09 > 0:48:13Despite their confidence, it's not looking so good for Team James.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15It could be washing up for Mr Bolam.
0:48:15 > 0:48:20The chaps have five lots, spending a total of £370.
0:48:20 > 0:48:25Susan and David parted with £248.28, also for five lots.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29Are you all right there James?
0:48:29 > 0:48:31Room for a small one.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34Here's where it gets exciting.
0:48:34 > 0:48:38First under the hammer is Susan and David's Japanese cutlery set.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42The Japanese nation are primed and ready with a finger.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44What time is it in Japan at the moment?
0:48:44 > 0:48:45Hate to think. Early.
0:48:45 > 0:48:47- Middle of the night.- Shame.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51Interest with me here, and my start is a low start at 25,
0:48:51 > 0:48:5428, 30, 32, five, eight, 40.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56£40 bid, £40 bid, 40, 40, 40...
0:48:56 > 0:48:57How are you feeling?
0:48:57 > 0:49:0150 bid, and five, at 60, at 65, 70 bid,
0:49:01 > 0:49:03- £70 now...- Come on.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05- Yes!- 75.
0:49:05 > 0:49:06Come on.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Against the room at £75. 80 bid.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10£80 bid, £80 bid, £80 bid.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13Out online. £80, it will be sold, one more, surely.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Online, you're right, £80, sold, all done,
0:49:15 > 0:49:19the hammer's up and I trade, all done now at £80.
0:49:19 > 0:49:20Ooh! £10.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22On paper.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26Goodness! A strong start for Susan.
0:49:26 > 0:49:31Let's see if Team James's first lot, the military bugle, can better it.
0:49:31 > 0:49:3412 bit, at 12, starting at 12.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Starting at 12, starting at 12, this is cheap.
0:49:36 > 0:49:3815 bid. 18 bid. Come again, sir.
0:49:38 > 0:49:41- A rare bidder in the room. - One more. One more.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43- Come on, you can do it. - No more, no more!
0:49:43 > 0:49:4620 I've got. At 20 I'm bid, 20 in the room. Selling at 20.
0:49:46 > 0:49:50Disappointing for this, selling at 20, selling at 20, selling at 20.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52Being sold, in the room, I sell then at £20.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55- Oh, dear.- That is a loss, isn't it?
0:49:55 > 0:49:56It is a loss.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58That's certainly a blow for the boys,
0:49:58 > 0:50:01leaving them with a loss after auction costs.
0:50:01 > 0:50:05But can have their African glass topped table top it?
0:50:05 > 0:50:09Oh, here we are. This is my big choice.
0:50:09 > 0:50:1115 bid. 18 bid. 20 I have.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14At 20 bid, 20 bid, 25. 30. 35...
0:50:14 > 0:50:17- What did you pay for it?- 70.
0:50:17 > 0:50:1940, 40, 40, now 45 in the room...
0:50:19 > 0:50:21It's a beautiful table.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23It's going, it's going.
0:50:23 > 0:50:2570 with me, 70 bid, £70.
0:50:25 > 0:50:2680 with me.
0:50:26 > 0:50:27£80, against you, sir.
0:50:27 > 0:50:29Now he's going.
0:50:29 > 0:50:3290! We're in profit.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35The room is out at £90, £90, on the commission, all done,
0:50:35 > 0:50:37selling at 90, sold at 90.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39- This is a result, James. - All done at £90.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42- Enjoy it.- Well done.- Enjoy it!
0:50:43 > 0:50:47Brilliant. £20 is a solid profit in the bank.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50It's like being on an express train, isn't it?
0:50:50 > 0:50:53Yeah, and you can't get off yet, James.
0:50:53 > 0:50:57Next, it's time to see if Susan and David's glass item
0:50:57 > 0:51:00can do any better, and it's the pick of auctioneer Tom.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03We like this, with some size, with some character, quality.
0:51:03 > 0:51:05They like it.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08What can I say? My best bid secures at 15 only, 18 the bid,
0:51:08 > 0:51:1020, and two, and five and eight.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12£30 bid, £30 bid.
0:51:12 > 0:51:16The Murano, like this, 32, and five, and eight, and 40 I have.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19- At £40, selling at £40... - No, don't sell at 40.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Disappointing at £40, the Murano,
0:51:21 > 0:51:23the stand is worth that alone.
0:51:23 > 0:51:24Come on, wake up at home.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27You're out, at £40, I shan't dwell.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29He's trying hard, isn't he? He's trying hard.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32All done then, I trade, selling away at £40.
0:51:32 > 0:51:36Ouch! A £40 loss will certainly hurt their chances.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39David had been so sure of a profit.
0:51:39 > 0:51:44No-one else, apart from me, has good taste.
0:51:44 > 0:51:48Oh, yeah. Auctioneer Tom isn't sure if the two Jameses' next item,
0:51:48 > 0:51:51the shooting stick, will even sell at all.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53I don't know where they find these things,
0:51:53 > 0:51:56a British-made, folding, three-legged shooting stick.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58I'm speechless.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01It looks bloody uncomfortable.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04Hey! James Bolam sat on that, I'll have you know.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Surely that could add a few extra pounds.
0:52:06 > 0:52:09Five I have, eight, and 10, and 12...
0:52:09 > 0:52:11- There you go.- 15, 20 with me.
0:52:11 > 0:52:12£20, surprised.
0:52:12 > 0:52:1422, Phil? 22 in the room.
0:52:14 > 0:52:1622 bid, the lines all out.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18This does want buying. At £22, 25 bid.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21I do not believe this. At £25.
0:52:21 > 0:52:2325, Phil, don't stop.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25I'm going to put you in. 28, you're in. £28.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27Madame? £28, you're out.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29£30 bid.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31- Whoa! Three times! - There we are, you see?
0:52:31 > 0:52:36I told you. I told you. They wouldn't believe it.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39- All done at £30, thank you, Madame. - Well done.
0:52:40 > 0:52:44A fantastic buy for Team James as it's tripled its price.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47You know, James, this could be a new career for you, you realise that.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49Well, I need something!
0:52:49 > 0:52:51Now it is Susan's favourite lot,
0:52:51 > 0:52:53the temple togs and the carved lizard.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56They need to make money to stand a chance of winning.
0:52:56 > 0:53:0115, 18, 20 bid, 22. At £22, 25, 28.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03£28, £28, 30 bid, 32.
0:53:03 > 0:53:06At 32. 35. 35 bid, £35.
0:53:06 > 0:53:08Come on. £35, £35.
0:53:08 > 0:53:0938. £38.
0:53:09 > 0:53:1340 bid, 40 bid, 40. Come on. Come on, you can do it, sir. At £40.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15- Go on.- Three pieces for the money!
0:53:15 > 0:53:19At £40, sold at £40, in the room, all done at £40.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21- Marvellous.- Very good.- Well done.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24An amazing profit, doubling their money,
0:53:24 > 0:53:26and they're back in the game.
0:53:26 > 0:53:28- The day of the Lizard. - The day of the Lizard.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30Swung it for you.

0:54:09 > 0:54:11It's looking quite close to call, this one.
0:54:11 > 0:54:14Now it's over to Susan and David's 1930s dog tap.
0:54:15 > 0:54:20I'm sure I've seen it in a National Trust gift section somewhere.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23- Take no notice of him, Susan.- No.

0:54:52 > 0:54:53And a great profit!
0:54:53 > 0:54:56We're now down to both teams' final lots -
0:54:56 > 0:55:01the silver-plated pocket trumpet and the garden crane.
0:55:03 > 0:55:05First it's Team James's cranes.
0:55:05 > 0:55:09They were a huge risk so they need to do well.
0:55:09 > 0:55:11We have telephone interest I believe, yes.
0:55:11 > 0:55:14And I start here with me at 30.
0:55:14 > 0:55:1630?!

0:55:31 > 0:55:33Thank you. Yes, 100 on the telephone.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36At £100, I shan't dwell, £100, telephone bid.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39The lines all out, disappointing for these bronzes, all done,

0:55:41 > 0:55:42100...
0:55:42 > 0:55:44All done to the telephone at £100.
0:55:44 > 0:55:46Catastrophe!
0:55:46 > 0:55:50It turns out the risky cranes have left their chances of winning
0:55:50 > 0:55:52as dead as a dodo. Wasn't it, chaps?
0:55:52 > 0:55:53Oh, dear.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56- Tissues, tissues, hand them over. - I need a tissue.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59Blimey.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02Crikey, that's a whopping £150 loss.
0:56:02 > 0:56:05I think it was the concrete what done it.
0:56:09 > 0:56:12Even if Susan and David made a tiny profit with their last lot
0:56:12 > 0:56:14they would triumph.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17It's their turn-of-the-century pocket trumpet.
0:56:19 > 0:56:22So our star musical instrument is next.
0:56:22 > 0:56:26Very nice, interest with me, with the telephone,
0:56:26 > 0:56:29interest for me and my starter is at 80.
0:56:29 > 0:56:30And 90, 110.
0:56:30 > 0:56:33120. 130, 140, 150. 150.

0:56:43 > 0:56:45At 220 bid, selling at 220.
0:56:45 > 0:56:46I'm going to cry!

0:56:49 > 0:56:51Telephone, coming or not?
0:56:51 > 0:56:53Ask them kindly. Ask them kindly.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55Come on! Keep on going.
0:56:55 > 0:56:58You're out. 220, line two, I'm going to sell,
0:56:58 > 0:57:01all done, line two has it, all done at £220.
0:57:01 > 0:57:06- Fantastic! - That is amazing. Well done.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08Susan's in shock.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10An amazing achievement -
0:57:10 > 0:57:14a £150 profit for them, tripling their money again.
0:57:14 > 0:57:17That's wonderful. That's absolutely wonderful.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19You'll have us all crying in a minute!
0:57:19 > 0:57:21- TEARFULLY:- Don't, you'll get me going!
0:57:21 > 0:57:25Both our teams started today's journey with £400.
0:57:25 > 0:57:28The two Jameses took a massive gamble on their cranes
0:57:28 > 0:57:29and it didn't pay off.
0:57:29 > 0:57:33After auction costs they lost £140.40,
0:57:33 > 0:57:37leaving them with a finishing total of £259.60.
0:57:38 > 0:57:41Susan and David managed to bank themselves a profit
0:57:41 > 0:57:45of £83.82 after auction costs,
0:57:45 > 0:57:50giving them a clear win with £483.82.
0:57:50 > 0:57:53All profits go to Children In Need.
0:57:53 > 0:57:56It was close, I'll give them that, it really was close, wasn't it?
0:57:56 > 0:58:00- Yeah.- It was close, up until the cranes.
0:58:00 > 0:58:02I'm sorry the cranes bombed.
0:58:02 > 0:58:04- I know.- That's very kind of you.
0:58:04 > 0:58:07- The cranes done us. - The cranes done you in.
0:58:07 > 0:58:10Anyway, thank you. Well done, the winners, well done.
0:58:10 > 0:58:12- It's been great, great fun. - Well done.
0:58:12 > 0:58:15- Thank you, James. Take care. - Goodbye.
0:58:16 > 0:58:19Come on, James, those dishes won't wash themselves.
0:58:20 > 0:58:22I think David and I did pretty well.
0:58:22 > 0:58:25It's quite cool, actually, I quite like the bartering.
0:58:25 > 0:58:26It's quite jolly.
0:58:26 > 0:58:28Oh! There's a huge hole there.
0:58:28 > 0:58:30Oh!
0:58:30 > 0:58:31Poor old car.
0:58:31 > 0:58:34Perhaps we ought to get them a taxi, eh?
