0:01:02 > 0:01:04When they asked me about this, and they said,

0:01:04 > 0:01:09"Who would you like to do it with?" I thought of a few people.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- And 34 people turn me down, and then I rang you.- Yeah,

0:01:12 > 0:01:14- Yeah, I knew I wasn't first. - BERNARD LAUGHS

0:01:14 > 0:01:16You jest, Bernard. These two go way back.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Someone asked me how long we'd known each other.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22- 1962, wasn't it?- Yes, over 50 years.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26- It'll be an extremely cordial competition.- Cordial.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36- That was a swallow that went over there, then.- Was it?- Yes, a swallow.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53- What do you reckon to the car, Barry? - Very smart.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Used to say about David Frost, he had an open-top car,

0:02:56 > 0:02:59I said, if it started raining, he'd press the button on the dashboard,

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- and it stopped raining! - BERNARD LAUGHS

0:03:02 > 0:03:04I like it, I like it.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20- I'm really excited about today. - It's going to be good.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24- The sun is out.- Yeah. - The roof is down.- Yes, yeah.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26- The socks are pulled up.- Good man.

0:03:27 > 0:03:28Charles and Will are piloting

0:03:28 > 0:03:33a charming little 1963 Morris Minor convertible.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36Obviously, our two big men today are big names, aren't they?

0:03:36 > 0:03:40They are, big names. When I heard I was working with you...

0:03:40 > 0:03:41CHARLES LAUGHS

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- The word "legend" popped into my mind.- Get out of here!

0:03:44 > 0:03:48When you talk about Barry Cryer and the Crib meister, well,

0:03:48 > 0:03:50- they are legends, aren't they? - They are.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54With £400 to spend each,

0:03:54 > 0:03:58our pairs will journey from sunny St Albans in Hertfordshire,

0:03:58 > 0:04:03and circumnavigate the byways around our nation's capital,

0:04:08 > 0:04:12It's almost time for celebrities to greet experts.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15- BARRY:- Should have brought my binoculars.

0:04:15 > 0:04:16I didn't know you had them.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Scan the horizon for an expert. - BERNARD LAUGHS

0:04:20 > 0:04:21And here they are!

0:04:21 > 0:04:24- I'm twitching. I get nervous. - About what?

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Meeting these legends.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Don't blow your cool before we've even started, Carlos.

0:04:28 > 0:04:33- I think I hear the dulcet tones of... - They're here, they're here!

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Heads up, salute.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Hello, there. Good morning, gentlemen.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40- BERNARD:- Stand easy. - BARRY:- Good morning, good morning.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43You take the left side. I'll go the right.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46- BERNARD: Two sugars in mine, please! - Good morning.- How are you?

0:04:46 > 0:04:47The name's Hanson, Charles Hanson.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49- I'm Bernard. - Good to see you, Bernard.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Do you prefer Bernard, or Mr Cribbins?- No, Bernard, please.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Or, hey, you, there's money involved.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55CHARLES LAUGHS

0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Barry, I'm Will, anyway.- Good morning, Will, I'm Barry. Hello.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02They've already agreed that Bernard will pair with Charles,

0:05:02 > 0:05:04and Barry with Will.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07- All the best.- Yeah.- Take care.

0:05:07 > 0:05:08CHARLES CHUCKLES

0:05:08 > 0:05:09- BERNARD:- There we are.

0:05:13 > 0:05:14And they're off.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Both teams are heading to the same shop in St Albans

0:05:19 > 0:05:21to kick off their buying.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22- What is this?- Excuse me!

0:05:25 > 0:05:27- What?- It's this way, Charles!

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Where on Earth are you going, Charles? Honestly!

0:05:31 > 0:05:35- So, here we go. Off to our first shop.- I know.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38It is a learning curve, this, I shall be fascinated.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42Barry doesn't drive, so Will will be chauffeuring him.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45I'm a very placid, unnervous passenger.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47So, you won't have any aggravation.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Oh, my God!

0:05:49 > 0:05:53- Look out, it's a... Hedgehog!? - BARRY CHUCKLES

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Hey, road safety's no joshing matter on the road trip, chaps.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Meanwhile, on the scenic route,

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Charles is coming out as something of a fan.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03MUSIC: The Wombling Song by Mike Batt

0:06:03 > 0:06:08To me, you are a very precious and priceless gentleman.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Oh, dear, really?- Yes.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13My childhood was summed up by The Wombles.

0:06:13 > 0:06:14You made my childhood.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Oh, don't gush, Charles, you'll embarrass the man.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21But they're still in search of their bearings.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Now, around here is a shop, hopefully.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25So, eyes peeled.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Try the next turning.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29I don't know why.

0:06:32 > 0:06:33I think that's our shop, you know?

0:06:35 > 0:06:39- This'll do me.- It looks busy enough. And, I think... Do you know what?

0:06:39 > 0:06:42I think we've beaten the other ones here, Barry.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Go on, in you go. Get in. - Yeah, get in, get in.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Maybe if I lock the door, we won't let them in.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Look, oh, boy. - It goes on, doesn't it?

0:06:54 > 0:06:57Time for a good, old-fashioned browse, boys.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03- You've always got to remember to look up.- Yes, that's true.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Not really into Picasso. Nothing personal, Pablo.- Yes?!

0:07:06 > 0:07:08WILL CHUCKLES

0:07:08 > 0:07:13What sort of loot does Barry fancy picking up today?

0:07:13 > 0:07:16At my age, now, it would be lovely to see coming that I'd go,

0:07:16 > 0:07:19- "Oh! Memories." - Well, that is perfect.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21You can relate to it.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24In a shop like this, it's likely to happen, because there's so much.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31And has Barry already spotted something

0:07:31 > 0:07:34that might get the synapses firing?

0:07:34 > 0:07:39Brains? Oh, no, dear, dear, dear! Brains. Snail, dogfish, frog,

0:07:39 > 0:07:43- pigeon and rat!- Oh, that's a must, he said, as in "not"!

0:07:43 > 0:07:45BARRY CHUCKLES

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Slightly macabre.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Yeah, pass the sick bag.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53Elsewhere in the shop, there's something rather more jolly.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Look at that!- What is that?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57- I tell you what that is, Barry. - What is it?

0:07:57 > 0:07:59That is the Rolls-Royce of deckchairs.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01I just thought, deckchair. But it's deckchair-plus.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04"Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside."

0:08:04 > 0:08:06- Vintage deckchair.- Oh, oh, yes.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Shall I... Ooh, hang on!

0:08:09 > 0:08:13Oh, ooh, I think it's got built-in suspension.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Yeah, you get in it, and it goes boom! And this comes up.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Shall I try it?- Yeah. Give it a test drive.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Oh, dear.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Ooh... Oh. Careful, Barry.

0:08:24 > 0:08:25Ooh.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29It's a one-off. It's got an individual quality about it.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Do you know what? It's not very dear.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35On the ticket they've had 58, crossed out. 48.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39So they're going down in tenners. I think if we get that for, say,

0:08:39 > 0:08:41- £20, £25.- Yes, yeah.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45They're keen on it. So best ask dealer George what she can do.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- I think that's George over there. - Here's George. George!

0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Hello, Will. - You've met my friend?

0:08:50 > 0:08:52I have indeed.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Brad Pitt. THEY LAUGH

0:08:54 > 0:08:55On a bad day!

0:08:57 > 0:08:58Ooh, I feel like a bit of a gooseberry.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00GEORGE LAUGHS

0:09:00 > 0:09:03We've spotted an item which we'd like to talk to you about.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06I would like to offer you £20 for the deckchair.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Oh, Will! Oh, dear.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Moment of... Shall we have some dramatic music now?

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Da-doon, da-doon, da-doon..

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Diddle-diddle-diddle ddrrmm!

0:09:16 > 0:09:20- It has been here for a while, I do grant you that.- Yeah.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24But I do think that 30 would be a really good deal.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27£30?

0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Do we meet in the middle, is that how the old trick goes?- 25?

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Do we meet in the middle at £25?

0:09:31 > 0:09:36- 25, George?- If you give me a kiss on the cheek, I'll do 25.- Yay!

0:09:36 > 0:09:38- I'll do more than that. - Ooh!

0:09:38 > 0:09:42- OK. Done. - Best £25 I've ever had.- Perfect.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Barry's proving to be something of a charmer.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48And that pair have their first buy, for a bargain £25.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Now, Bernard and Charles seem to have finally caught up.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55Come along now, chaps.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59- I think they're in there, you know. - You reckon?- I think they're in there.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Does that mean they've snatched up all the good stuff? Where are they?

0:10:04 > 0:10:08Now, I wonder how Bernard will fare in the vintage and retro shop?

0:10:09 > 0:10:13- It's what you call shabby chic. Do you like it?- No, no.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20If I said to you, what style is that, what would you say?,

0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Um. Jacobean. - Yeah, absolutely.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27- But, um, done last week.- Absolutely.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31Hm, you've been hiding a light under a bushel, Bernard.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35- I think you're on fire. - Am I on fire?- You're on fire.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37For God's sake, put me out, it's getting warm in here.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39CHARLES CHUCKLES

0:10:39 > 0:10:42- They're reproductions. - Is there a name?- No.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44They wouldn't fit you, don't look at those.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46CHARLES LAUGHS

0:10:46 > 0:10:50But soon, they're reflecting on something that might be a contender.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52That's quite nice. It is.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55- That is nice.- It is nice, yeah.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Why does that appeal to you?

0:10:58 > 0:11:02Well, it's got "theatre" on it, which is where I come from.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06It's a decorative mirror in the Edwardian Art Nouveau style.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09I love almost these very organic and florid Art Nouveau borders.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- I like that.- It's quite pretty.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14You couldn't comb your hair in it, mind.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18- What would you pay for it in a saleroom?- £60?- Yes, I would say

0:11:18 > 0:11:20it's worth between 40 and 60.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24- If it's below that... - Have a look.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Have a guess. - Go on.- Look at me.- 38.- Have a guess.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Oh, my God. 28.

0:11:30 > 0:11:31- Buy it.- Hey?- Buy it.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35So, they're very keen on that.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Right. Put it back, quick.- OK, OK. Mental note, yes?- Yes, indeed.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43- I'll sit down here on my shooting stick until you're ready.- Well done.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Jackanory, Jackanory, Jackanory.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52I'd like to tell you a little story about a man called Charles.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55I could tell you stories about Charles, Bernard!

0:11:55 > 0:11:58- I've just seen an upside-down gorilla out there, look.- Oh, yes.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00- On the roof.- Where did he come from? - I've no idea.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03- He looks like he's had a nasty fall.- Yeah.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05There's a tag on his right ear.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08- That would be a laugh.- It would be a laugh. Shall we find out?- Yes.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Charles will be Bernard's personal shopper,

0:12:10 > 0:12:13and fetch the fine fellow. Go on, Charles.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15I'm going to pull him down. I'm going to jump and pull it down.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18- We want a taller auctioneer. - Ready? Three, two...

0:12:18 > 0:12:19- Go on, jump. - Be careful.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Well done. Very good.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27- I've got him.- Oh, yes! Rather large, isn't it?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Let's have a look, bring it down.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Ah, he's lovely.- Bernard.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35How sweet.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Hello, baby. How are you?

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Yes. Are you all right? Yeah, give us a wave? Hello.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Give us a kiss.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44Rargh!

0:12:44 > 0:12:46MUSIC: Mr Benn Theme Tune

0:12:46 > 0:12:48I think he's more orang-utan than gorilla, you know.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50And, as if by magic...

0:12:50 > 0:12:52He's thrown in a banana!

0:12:52 > 0:12:57- Does that come with him as well? - Yeah.- Excellent, that comes with it.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59Do you want a banana? No, I'm giving them up, make you deaf.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03Huh, dealer Ricardo can help with the mirror and gorilla.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06What's your very, very best price on this one?

0:13:06 > 0:13:10- It says 35 on it.- Erm, 25. - Will 20 do?

0:13:10 > 0:13:1320?

0:13:13 > 0:13:18- Yeah, OK.- Could you manage 20? - Yeah.- Thank you, sir, deal.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Thank you very much.- Thank you.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Brilliant. I'm over the moon. BERNARD CHUCKLES

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- He's ours.- Me and my buddy.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30They've landed the beast. And the mirror?

0:13:30 > 0:13:33The mirror belongs to George, and she said she would take 25.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35- That's the very best?- Yeah.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38I would say yes to that.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40- We'll take the mirror. - We'll take the mirror.- £25.

0:13:40 > 0:13:41Thanks a lot. Good job.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Deal done.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Meanwhile, Barry and Will have alighted on something

0:13:46 > 0:13:48that looks a bit of a laugh.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52- Oh, oh.- What have you found? - Mr Pickwick.- I think it is.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54And it's a teapot.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Are you a tea drinker?

0:13:56 > 0:13:57Heavily.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00It's modelled as the character Mr Pickwick

0:14:00 > 0:14:04from Charles Dickens' classic comic novel, The Pickwick Papers.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07It dates from the 1920s or 1930s.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Oh, that would cheer me up in the morning.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Not keen, Will?

0:14:12 > 0:14:14- Oh, I know what you're thinking. - You're the boss.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17- I know what you're thinking. - It's only 12 quid.

0:14:17 > 0:14:18A Lingard teapot.

0:14:18 > 0:14:23I've got this liking for things that cheer me up when I look at them.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Can I go for Mr Pickwick?

0:14:26 > 0:14:30Listen, who am I to tell you what you can and can't buy?

0:14:31 > 0:14:34Barry loves it, even if Will's not convinced.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35I'm sold on it.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Are you all right with him?- Yeah.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Shall we take him out and meet George?

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Other way, Barry!

0:14:42 > 0:14:43I need sat nav here!

0:14:43 > 0:14:46- It's this way, mate. - You see, I'm proving it!

0:14:46 > 0:14:48THEY LAUGH

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Oh, yes, there's daylight.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52- Mind the steps. - Steps, steps, steps.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Well, George...- What have you there?

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Listen, as this is your baby, as it were,

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- I'm going to let you take the lead.- Oh, dear.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04- WHISPERS:- I would start at half.

0:15:04 > 0:15:09- Well, you said... Back off.- Oh, yes, sorry, I did say this wasn't...

0:15:09 > 0:15:11I didn't hear what he said.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13Well...

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Nothing personal, nothing insulting, George but it's lovely.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18- A fiver.- Oh!

0:15:18 > 0:15:20He's harsher than I am, you know.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24- I think he is. I think I'd rather you did it.- No.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26- WHISPERS:- You've got it, good work.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28OK, how about six?

0:15:30 > 0:15:34You have fallen in love with it, you want to pour your tea out of it.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38- I've fallen in love with you, George, not Mr Pickwick.- Oh!

0:15:38 > 0:15:40It's a deal.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Now Barry might be a haggling novice,

0:15:43 > 0:15:45but his charms won out again.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48They get Mr Pickwick for £6.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50While Will's paying up...

0:15:50 > 0:15:54- Hello!- Oh, look out.- Hat alert.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Stop spying on the opposition, Charles.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00- It's our man in Havana!- Gosh. - It's our man...

0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Charles, nice to see you again. - How have you been, Charles?

0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Very well, I've left your wing man, Bernard...- Where is he?

0:16:06 > 0:16:09We're just negotiating on some big objects.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10WILL GASPS

0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Are you big spending?- We are big spending.- We're spending.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15- We're spending, yes.- We are popping our chest out.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Oh, well...- Fighting talk. - You know your own business best.

0:16:18 > 0:16:19See you later.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25- You never can tell with that boy. - No...- He's like a Labrador puppy.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28- He's either going to lick you to death, or wet the carpet.- Yes.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30You never know quite where you are.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33What about that?

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Bernard's found something.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Is it West German?- Yeah.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40That is where the market has really picked up.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43If there's one aspect of the sector I'm in

0:16:43 > 0:16:45where the market has taken off,

0:16:45 > 0:16:48it's for these West German pots from the 1970s.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50It's rather handsome.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Because the design is very much about...

0:16:52 > 0:16:55What do you call this type of, it was that time and that era...

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Psychedelia?

0:16:57 > 0:17:01- Not flower power, what do you call it? The psychedelic influence.- Yeah.

0:17:01 > 0:17:02Didn't I just say that?

0:17:02 > 0:17:06- It in good shape, isn't it? - Down here it could do quite well.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09That is a big lump. It's big, it's chunky...

0:17:09 > 0:17:10Then you'd better speak to Ricardo.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13There's no ticket price on the Germanic jug.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16- What do you reckon?- Well, we've enjoyed your company

0:17:16 > 0:17:18and you've made our day. You can have it for £1.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23- Really? Quick, quick.- 100 pence. - Come on, quick.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Blimey! That's the deal of the century.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28That's most kind, thank you very much.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31We've enjoyed ourselves and that is the cherry on the cake.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33- It is.- Oops!- It is.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Don't do things like that! - It WAS our pot of gold.- Honestly.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37Where's the monkey?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Smashing!

0:17:39 > 0:17:40See you, bye.

0:17:41 > 0:17:42A quid!

0:17:42 > 0:17:45After that dashing deal, time for a well earned sit down.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48- I quite fancy... - Well, they've got chilli con carne.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51- WILL:- We are on a roll.- OK.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54I recognise those... I recognise.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57- There they are.- Boys. You must be feeling confident.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Time for a sit down and a chat. - I think we are very content.

0:18:00 > 0:18:05- Barry, are you enjoying yourself? - I'm delirious.- He's delirious!

0:18:07 > 0:18:09We will see you later.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12- He can teach us all something, Charles.- Absolutely.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Try and stay awake, Barry!

0:18:14 > 0:18:15Have you had your tablets?

0:18:15 > 0:18:17BARRY CHUCKLES

0:18:17 > 0:18:20There's nothing like a bit of healthy competition

0:18:20 > 0:18:22and this is nothing like it.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Now, this afternoon, Charles and Bernard are driving

0:18:28 > 0:18:32off to the environs of the village of Duxford in Cambridgeshire.

0:18:34 > 0:18:39They're on their way to the Imperial War Museum's site at RAF Duxford,

0:18:39 > 0:18:42a complex of armed services' museums where they are going to spend

0:18:42 > 0:18:46the afternoon exploring a subject close to Bernard's heart.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Do you know I have always wanted to come to Duxford.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54I was in the Parachute Regiment for my National Service

0:18:54 > 0:18:59from '47 to '49. I absolutely loved it.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02I served in Palestine and went out to Germany.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06My National Service was memorable, to say the least.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09I'll say. Although he is known as the cuddly voice of The Wombles,

0:19:09 > 0:19:13Bernard, indeed, served in one of the toughest

0:19:13 > 0:19:15regiments in the British Armed Forces.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17DRUMS BEAT

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Oh, dear.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21- We could be in for a long walk. - OK, get on with it.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24MUSIC: 633 Squadron Theme composed by Ron Goodwin

0:19:24 > 0:19:26He and Charles are heading into Airborne Assault,

0:19:26 > 0:19:30the museum of the Parachute Regiment and airborne forces where

0:19:30 > 0:19:33they're meeting assistant curator, Bob Hilton.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35- Are you Bob?- I'm Bob.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37- Hello Bob, I'm Bernard. - Nice to meet you.- This is Charles.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Hi, Bob, Charles Hanson, good to see you.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Right, where are we going to go, Bob? - Down here.- Thank you.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48Bernard's time in the Parachute Regiment began in 1947,

0:19:48 > 0:19:51just after the end of the Second World War

0:19:51 > 0:19:54but it was only during that conflict that the idea of forming

0:19:54 > 0:19:58a British Army regiment, designed to be deployed by air, was first conceived.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02The German army had pioneered an elite fighting,

0:20:02 > 0:20:06who were sent into battle by parachute, paratroopers

0:20:06 > 0:20:10and they had proved devastatingly effective.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14- What were they called, Fallschirmjager.- Fallschirmjager.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18Their stunning action on the 10th May 1940,

0:20:18 > 0:20:21where they landed by glider and parachute at various bridges

0:20:21 > 0:20:23and fortresses along the French and Belgian border

0:20:23 > 0:20:27and overrun the garrisons in a very, very short space of time.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31Prime Minister Winston Churchill took note of the enemy's success.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35It was those reports that got back to Churchill that led him

0:20:35 > 0:20:40to call for a force of 5,000 men

0:20:40 > 0:20:43and that's a copy of the original letter

0:20:43 > 0:20:45that he wrote to the chiefs of staff.

0:20:45 > 0:20:49- "..pray let me have a note from the War Office on the subject."- Yes.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51That means, quick, now.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55One of the legendary figures of the early days of British paratroops

0:20:55 > 0:20:59was Regimental Sergeant Major J C Lord,

0:20:59 > 0:21:02whose exemplary World War II service,

0:21:02 > 0:21:04included the brave protection of his troops

0:21:04 > 0:21:07while a prisoner of war in a German prisoner of war camp.

0:21:07 > 0:21:11He took over the camp Stalag XIB at Fallingbostel

0:21:11 > 0:21:14and he ended up running it and the German commandant

0:21:14 > 0:21:18- used to have to knock on his door before he came in.- He was terrific.

0:21:18 > 0:21:22After the war RSM Lord was posted to the Parachute Regiment's

0:21:22 > 0:21:26training facilities where Bernard himself was trained.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28I actually spoke with him.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32He was the RSM of the training and holding battalion when I was in Aldershot.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36One day I had been naughty on parade and, you know, picked my nose,

0:21:36 > 0:21:39or whatever it was, and I was told by my Corporal Drake.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41He said, "Rifle over your head, double round the square."

0:21:41 > 0:21:44The square was about 18 miles long.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46I am going bing-bong, bing-bong.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49I hear that very high voice that Mr Lord had.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51I went over, in front of him.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53"What have you been doing?" "Idle on parade, sir."

0:21:53 > 0:21:55"Carry on!" And off I went.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Those were the words I had with him.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59What a memory, that was, where did that come from?

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Excellent. Oh, dear.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05That's not the only trip down memory lane that Bob has in store today.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08We have got a bit of a surprise.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Really? I'm not jumping, I've got bad knees.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15This is the report on Course No 221,

0:22:15 > 0:22:2019th of July 1947 to 13th August 1947.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23- On page number two... - I don't believe it.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Here we have...

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Private Cribbins.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29- "Good performer."- That's you.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32"Well disciplined, a likely NCO."

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Golly, top marks, Cribbins.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37So you were really, what, ten out of ten, Bernard.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Well, nine out of ten.- OK.

0:22:39 > 0:22:43Nobody is ten out of ten, unless you are very, very good.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Well, that's lovely. Can I steal that?

0:22:45 > 0:22:48- I think we have done a copy. - Oh, that's brilliant.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51- That amazing, isn't it?- I shall put it on my CV.- Absolutely!

0:22:51 > 0:22:54"Good performer." What, him?

0:22:54 > 0:22:55"Well disciplined?" Get out of it.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57MUSIC: 633 Squadron Theme composed by Ron Goodwin

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Hey, the report card proves you were, Bernard.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04I think it's time you imparted some of that military discipline

0:23:04 > 0:23:06to the next generation, don't you?

0:23:06 > 0:23:08SHOUTS: Come on, Charles, what do you think you're doing?

0:23:08 > 0:23:10Left, right, left right.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13You're waddling, you look like a duck. Get a move on!

0:23:13 > 0:23:16I've never seen such a sloppy effort in my life.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19The front view is awful but the back view is even worse.

0:23:19 > 0:23:23Left, right, left, right... Come on, move your sorry backside!

0:23:23 > 0:23:25You tell 'em, Bernard.

0:23:25 > 0:23:29Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right...

0:23:31 > 0:23:34Meanwhile, Barry and Will are driving onwards.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38- So, Barry, I'm intrigued to know...- Yes.

0:23:38 > 0:23:43..how you first got into, shall we call it, show business?

0:23:43 > 0:23:48I had no plan and blue eyes got to university and blew it.

0:23:48 > 0:23:49What you mean, you blew it?

0:23:49 > 0:23:51I chased girls

0:23:51 > 0:23:56and was not unknown in the bar and my first year results showed it.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59I felt ashamed and let everybody down.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03We did this charity show called the Rag Review and a guy saw me

0:24:03 > 0:24:07- and offered me work. - Wow!- Lucky, or what?

0:24:07 > 0:24:10I've had this thing happenstance, serendipity or whatever,

0:24:10 > 0:24:12of being in the right place at the right time.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Let's hope Barry carries some of the good fortune on to the next shop,

0:24:16 > 0:24:21as they head for the town of Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Well, here we are.- This is all very pleasant, isn't it?

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Barry and Will are heading into Home & Colonial,

0:24:27 > 0:24:31a shop that deals in antiques and interior design.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35They still have a generous £369 left to spend.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37This is all very... This is the 20th century.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41I think half of this stuff is younger than you are, Barry.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44Everything's younger than me! What are you talking about?

0:24:44 > 0:24:46Are you into all this sort of 20th century stuff?

0:24:46 > 0:24:53- Were you a man of the '60s?- Yes. They say If you can't remember the...

0:24:53 > 0:24:55If you remember the... You weren't there. What was that quote?

0:24:55 > 0:24:58- What are you going to say? - THEY LAUGH

0:24:59 > 0:25:03Soon enough they've spotted something.

0:25:03 > 0:25:07- What are these? You said you wanted something ceramic-y.- Yeah.

0:25:07 > 0:25:11Bit of sort of French faience, I would have said.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15Faience is the French type of tin glazed pottery.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18- They've got something about them, haven't they?- Yeah.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Nice pair of candlesticks.- Oh, yeah.

0:25:21 > 0:25:25They're marked up at £49, which I don't think it's a huge amount.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28So that's one distinct possibility but they're browsing on.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33If they can get past lovely shopkeepers, Eileen and Jenny.

0:25:33 > 0:25:38We've been rumbled. We would make rubbish shoplifters, wouldn't we?

0:25:38 > 0:25:42- Keep walking. Keep walking, Will. - You distract them, Barry!

0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Oh, by the way...- That shaggy dog story you told me earlier!

0:25:45 > 0:25:48THEY LAUGH

0:25:48 > 0:25:52A truncheon. "Bucks Police".

0:25:52 > 0:25:56You need a truncheon voucher with that.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59WILL LAUGHS Dear, oh, dear. Have I no shame?

0:25:59 > 0:26:03Nothing wrong with a lovely pun, I always say.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05What is this?

0:26:05 > 0:26:09Looks like some sort of oversized candle box of sorts.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Let me have a look on this, Will. - What does it say?

0:26:15 > 0:26:18- You're not going to believe this. - Tell me.- "Baguette box".

0:26:18 > 0:26:24- A baguette box? I don't believe it! - Oh, boy.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27- A baguette box. - That's a bit singular.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30- HE SNIFFS - It doesn't smell of baguette.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32BARRY LAUGHS

0:26:32 > 0:26:35And it's French. And so we realised we've got a theme emerging.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37We've got a theme going with the French.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Mais, oui.

0:26:39 > 0:26:44Ticket price on the second piece of Gallic je ne sais quoi is £45.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Allons-y.- OK.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Let's see what Eileen and Jenny have to say.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52Of course, the boys are looking for a discount.

0:26:52 > 0:26:56- Well, let's say we'll do 10% for you.- Come, come!

0:26:56 > 0:27:0210%! We're not regular trade! This is Barry Cryer!

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Barry, I beg your pardon.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07In that case, Barry, we'll do 5%. Is that OK?

0:27:07 > 0:27:09- THEY LAUGH - Touche!

0:27:09 > 0:27:12Ticket price on both lots combined is £94.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16We're going to come in with a cheeky offer of...

0:27:18 > 0:27:23- Shall I do the dirty work?- Go on, do the dirty work.- £50 for both.

0:27:23 > 0:27:2585.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Shall we say £80? A nice round number? £80.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31And then we stand a chance at 80 quid, I think, almost.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33- We stand a chance.- Come on, 80. - And you get the candlesticks.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35It's been great. No, it's been good fun.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39I think that's a fair discount. Thank you.

0:27:39 > 0:27:43£80 for two lots and more kisses all round. How terribly continental!

0:27:43 > 0:27:47- But as an encore... - They're going out for dinner

0:27:47 > 0:27:49and she's in the bathroom trying on a new dress.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52She came out and said to her husband, "Does my bum look big in this?"

0:27:52 > 0:27:55He said, "Be fair, it's quite a small bathroom!"

0:27:55 > 0:27:57THEY LAUGH

0:27:57 > 0:28:01As they say, always leave them laughing.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05- Or at least, leave them... - THEY HUM

0:28:07 > 0:28:11- I feel very French all of a sudden. - Lovely. Gallic mood.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14And with that last daring buy it's the end of a jam-packed

0:28:14 > 0:28:18first day on the trip. Night-night, chaps.

0:28:19 > 0:28:23But before you know it, the summer sun has arisen and Charles

0:28:23 > 0:28:26and Will are back in the car and ready to rumble.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31If the tough know where they're going.

0:28:31 > 0:28:37- I don't know where we're going. - Ha-ha! Hang on, where's me map?

0:28:39 > 0:28:42- I've lost me map. - Situation normal here, then.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46Meanwhile, our celebrities are miles ahead

0:28:46 > 0:28:51of the whippersnappers and reflecting on the trip so far.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53Funny job, this, isn't it?

0:28:53 > 0:28:57Looking at old stuff and making fortunes out of it?

0:28:57 > 0:29:00I spend my life looking at old jokes.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02- Yes!- Evaluating old jokes.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04Antique humour.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06"This was first used by Oliver Cromwell!"

0:29:08 > 0:29:12And just slightly more late than him...

0:29:12 > 0:29:14They're already here.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16- That's their car.- Where are they?

0:29:16 > 0:29:19Morning. Oh, and this is Will.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22- Hello, Will. Good morning. - You know how to live, don't you?

0:29:22 > 0:29:27- Good morning. He's MY expert. - Morning, skipper, how are you?

0:29:27 > 0:29:30How are you, skipper? Good to see you.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33- Is that the time? - It is. Best get on the road.

0:29:34 > 0:29:39So far Bernard and Charles have spent £46 on three items.

0:29:39 > 0:29:43The Art Nouveau mirror, the German jug and the stuffed gorilla.

0:29:43 > 0:29:48So, they've got a whopping £354 left to spend today.

0:29:48 > 0:29:51Barry and Will have spent £111 on four lots.

0:29:51 > 0:29:56The deckchair, the Pickwickian teapot, French candlesticks

0:29:56 > 0:29:58and the baguette box.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00So they have £289 still in hand.

0:30:02 > 0:30:06Now, Will and Barry are back in the Morris Minor.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09So, Barry, today we've got a bit of a treat for you.

0:30:09 > 0:30:12- I hope it's a bit of a treat for you.- What is this treat?

0:30:12 > 0:30:14We are going to a museum.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17But not any old museum, the Museum of Comedy.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20Oh, boy! I'm looking forward to this.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24I'm looking forward to it and I must say, what a great...

0:30:24 > 0:30:29- What a legend to turn up with, as well!- Who?

0:30:29 > 0:30:32I don't know. I think we're picking someone up on the way.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35You're learning from the comedy master, Will.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38- I've got a joke for you. - Go on, then.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Who's the most relaxed bloke in the hospital?- I have no idea.

0:30:41 > 0:30:45- Who is the most relaxed bloke in the hospital?- The ultrasound guy.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47THEY LAUGH

0:30:47 > 0:30:49Actually, that wasn't that bad!

0:30:49 > 0:30:53They're driving to the central London district of Bloomsbury.

0:30:54 > 0:30:59This is a lovely day. Lovely day. Oh, what have we here?

0:30:59 > 0:31:04They are indeed strolling off towards the Museum of Comedy.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08You two don't half walk funnililily!

0:31:09 > 0:31:12- They're meeting assistant curator, David.- Hello.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14- Hi.- Hi, there. I'm Will.

0:31:14 > 0:31:18- I don't need to introduce this man to you, do I?- You do not, sir.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22Barry and Will are visiting the Museum of Comedy on the very

0:31:22 > 0:31:27week it first opens to the public. How's that for VIP access?

0:31:27 > 0:31:30It houses costumes, scripts, props and all manner of memorabilia

0:31:30 > 0:31:33relating to the serious history of silly old comedy.

0:31:35 > 0:31:40Incongruously, it's also housed in the former crypt of a church.

0:31:40 > 0:31:43I've died in bigger places than this! THEY LAUGH

0:31:44 > 0:31:47But this is where comedy legends live on.

0:31:47 > 0:31:51They are going to see some schmutter which belonged to comedy star

0:31:51 > 0:31:53of the early 20th century, Max Miller.

0:31:55 > 0:32:02Ah! Miller! Recreated! This is a sort of coat and outfit he used to wear.

0:32:02 > 0:32:06That's actually in the photos there. Wearing it while he's performing.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08The white hat.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11Miller was the brightest star in music hall comedy

0:32:11 > 0:32:13between the 1930s and 1950s.

0:32:13 > 0:32:18Beloved by millions for his cheeky gags and sartorial flair.

0:32:18 > 0:32:22Miller was so distinctive, coming on the stage.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25Full technicolour act coming on. It was terrific.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28You wouldn't have forgotten him, would you, if you went to see him?

0:32:28 > 0:32:31And Barry himself has an early memory of seeing Miller's

0:32:31 > 0:32:33gleeful and risque act.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36My mother took me to see him and I was astonished.

0:32:36 > 0:32:40He was at Leeds Empire Theatre and even then,

0:32:40 > 0:32:43I was getting a flavour of the double entendre.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46He was a naughty boy, you know? The awful twinkling blue eyes.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48My mother was loving it.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52She was twinkling away because he was the bad boy.

0:32:53 > 0:32:57From one pioneering comedy rebel to another, they're now going to

0:32:57 > 0:33:02check out some items that belonged to another hero of Barry's.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05He's a legend of television comedy from a slightly earlier era

0:33:05 > 0:33:08and one he actually worked with, Tommy Cooper.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Who made these?- Tommy Cooper made them himself.- He made them?

0:33:13 > 0:33:17Yeah, he was a carpenter so he made the majority of his own props.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21- I never knew that!- I remember this prop from his sketch.

0:33:21 > 0:33:26- Shall we practice?- Yes. - So, you walk on stage.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28Ta-da!

0:33:29 > 0:33:32Cooper's act often disguised his great skills

0:33:32 > 0:33:35as a magician behind the laugh-baiting premise

0:33:35 > 0:33:39of failed tricks or unexpected transformations.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42- This looks like a proper magician's prop.- This is a magician's prop.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45But I'm not entirely sure what it does, apart from the fact

0:33:45 > 0:33:48we're not really supposed to use it cos it breaks, like...

0:33:48 > 0:33:52- Oh!- Ah! And is this another prop here?

0:33:52 > 0:33:54A magic trick where things suddenly appear out of nowhere.

0:33:54 > 0:33:58Which is... It's all very nice. It's all very easy.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00THEY LAUGH AND CLAP Oh, yeah!

0:34:00 > 0:34:03- Great. Wonderful.- Perfect.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06- This could be good.- OK.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Way-hey! - Tommy would be proud.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12Having had their last laugh,

0:34:12 > 0:34:15it's time for Barry and Will to hit the road, Jack.

0:34:15 > 0:34:20Terrific. He's in the room. It's wonderful.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Meanwhile, Bernard and Charles are heading for the town

0:34:23 > 0:34:25of East Molesey in Surrey.

0:34:25 > 0:34:29And Charles is a bit starstruck, bless him.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33Could you, just now, just for my golden age of being a young boy,

0:34:33 > 0:34:36- give me some Womble narrative. - Ha-ha!

0:34:36 > 0:34:39AS ORINOCO: I must tell Uncle Bulgaria when I get back to the burrow.

0:34:39 > 0:34:43AS UNCLE BULGARIA: Yes, Orinoco, I can see you and you're not working.

0:34:43 > 0:34:45You're being lazy again.

0:34:45 > 0:34:49AS ORINOCO: Oh, no. Sorry, Uncle Bulgaria.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51And then Madame Cholet will come in, you know...

0:34:51 > 0:34:55AS CHOLET: Monsieur Bulgaria, what would you like for lunch today?

0:34:55 > 0:34:57Glorious!

0:34:59 > 0:35:02They are strolling off into Bridge Road Antiques

0:35:02 > 0:35:06with £354 still in hand and meeting dealer, Sue.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09- I'm Bernard.- Hello. Nice to meet you. Hi.

0:35:09 > 0:35:12Nice to get out of that sun. It's quite warm out there.

0:35:15 > 0:35:19- Wow, look at this! Wonderful! - It's an emporium, isn't it?

0:35:19 > 0:35:22In contrast to yesterday's Bernard way of buying,

0:35:22 > 0:35:27Charles is determined to take the reins and find some real antiques.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30I've been showing off all the time you see, and now it's his turn.

0:35:30 > 0:35:35Believe me, Bernard, Charles never lacks a chance to show off.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39- Where are we going now?- Let's go... Follow me.- Forwards.- Follow me.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42Look at that!

0:35:42 > 0:35:45Look at that! This is highbrow Edwardian silver.

0:35:45 > 0:35:49- What we call neo-rococo art. - I knew him actually.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51- I was in a play with him once. - Neo-rococo?

0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Yeah. He's a lovely clown.- Never heard of him.- A very funny man.

0:35:54 > 0:35:58And so are you, Bernard, even if Charles is a bit slow on the uptake!

0:35:58 > 0:36:03They found an Edwardian solid silver bonbon basket, as you do.

0:36:04 > 0:36:08- Sheffield hallmarked, the year... - 1905.

0:36:08 > 0:36:13- Made by James Dixon and Sons.- Yes. Are they well-known?- Yeah, they are.

0:36:13 > 0:36:18Ticket price is a hefty £220 but it is the kind of quality

0:36:18 > 0:36:22- antique that Charles wanted to buy. - That is extraordinary, isn't it?

0:36:22 > 0:36:24- Isn't it? - It's owned by a dealer off-site.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27- Do you want me to give him a ring? - Yeah, why not?

0:36:27 > 0:36:30Give him a ring and ask for his very, very best price.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32Just tell him I've got a bad leg and I need help.

0:36:34 > 0:36:38All right, then. I'll tell them that. OK. Bye.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41He said 170.

0:36:42 > 0:36:45I'm leaving it entirely in your hands because you're the expert.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48Do you know, I'm really happy, based on the quality, Sue,

0:36:48 > 0:36:51and with my mate, to take a chance on this.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54- I think 170, we're going to say going, going...- Thank you. Deal.

0:36:54 > 0:36:59- Gone. Thank you very much, Sue, we're over the moon.- I like it.

0:36:59 > 0:37:04It's a nice item but it's almost half of their total budget. Crumbs!

0:37:04 > 0:37:07Are you impressed with me now? Are you impressed?

0:37:07 > 0:37:10I'm more than impressed. I'm deafened.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14You and me both, Bernard.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17Bernard. There's one thing over here as well.

0:37:17 > 0:37:20- You're a dog lover, aren't you? - Yes, indeed, yes.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23I quite like this here. The Victorian alabaster carved box.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25- Do you like that? - With a spaniel on top.- Yes.

0:37:25 > 0:37:29- It's quite sweet, isn't it? - What would you use that for?

0:37:29 > 0:37:31Probably you might use it as a jewellery box or maybe

0:37:31 > 0:37:34a little dressing table box.

0:37:34 > 0:37:38- Give me a date on that.- Thursday. - Thursday!

0:37:38 > 0:37:40Ha-ha! Spot on, Bernard!

0:37:40 > 0:37:44It dates from any Thursday you care to mention in the 1880s.

0:37:44 > 0:37:49- Ticket price is £23. What's he like? - I quite like that.- Go on. Do a deal.

0:37:49 > 0:37:54- Go on.- I quite like it.- If you can get that for £20, I say buy it.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56- Would you really?- Yes.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59I would knock three off it just because I'm mean and horrid.

0:37:59 > 0:38:03- Nobody is listening, are they? - She's over there.- Oh. Hello, Sue!

0:38:03 > 0:38:07Are you all right? Yes. Would you do a 20 on that for me?

0:38:09 > 0:38:12- I think she would definitely do 20. - She would?

0:38:12 > 0:38:15We're very happy with that. £20. Thank you.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17- We'll take that as well. - Thank you.- Lovely.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20Another deal sealed on a real antique.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22But they're not finished yet.

0:38:22 > 0:38:25- It's just lurking over there. - Having a lurk.

0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Having a lurk.- Picture? - It's got four legs.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30- It's a chair.- Yes.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32Good guess.

0:38:32 > 0:38:35- If you're browsing, Charles, I shall sit down.- Fine.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37HE WHISTLES Yes.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40I've got a good view here. It is pretty, isn't it?

0:38:40 > 0:38:43- Mind the top.- Oops. Sorry, Sue.- Mind the bottom.- Sorry, Sue.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46You're terribly clumsy. It is pretty.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48Isn't that a gorgeous chair?

0:38:49 > 0:38:54That really is a spectacular bit of furniture.

0:38:54 > 0:38:59It's an Edwardian mahogany bedroom chair, dating from around 1905.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01But the quality is superb. So good, in fact...

0:39:01 > 0:39:06- Beautifully done.- Not to everyone's taste.- Beautifully done. Look at it.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09- We checked the construction. - It's knockout.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11HE KNOCKS ON WOOD Oh!

0:39:12 > 0:39:14So, they definitely want the chair. But at what price?

0:39:14 > 0:39:17On the ticket is £80.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20Do your stuff. Come on, negotiate.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23- Sue, what's your best price? - I could have said that!

0:39:23 > 0:39:28- It's got to be worth 60. - Look at me! Look at me!- 60?

0:39:28 > 0:39:31- No?- No. It's got to be more than that.- 61?

0:39:32 > 0:39:35- Keep going. Keep going.- 65.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39- I would think she would probably do 65.- Really?

0:39:39 > 0:39:43Success! Three real antiques in the bag. Good work, chaps.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49Now, having spent the morning larking about,

0:39:49 > 0:39:52Barry and Will are still on the hunt for another item

0:39:52 > 0:39:54but they are feeling confident.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57Do you think we've already got this in the bag?

0:39:57 > 0:40:00Well, I won't say it again. Yes, I will. Yes, we have.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05They're travelling to the London district of Battersea,

0:40:05 > 0:40:08where they're off to Northcote Road antiques market.

0:40:11 > 0:40:14We'll do a quick circuit, Barry, and just see if there's anything.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16- Sure.- Gramophone.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18Hang on a minute.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Oh! Oh, I say! - Do you quite like that?

0:40:23 > 0:40:27Do you like that? I love these. I know exactly what it is.

0:40:28 > 0:40:32This is called a gull vase made for Holmegaard.

0:40:32 > 0:40:36And it's very fashionable and trendy at the moment.

0:40:36 > 0:40:40This Danish glass vase probably dates from the 1960s.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43Ticket price is £55. Time to speak to dealer, Sue.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47They're all called Sue, actually.

0:40:47 > 0:40:52- Sue, love. First thought is 30. - 40. Do it for 40?

0:40:52 > 0:40:5755 down to 40. I think that's a fair discount in the circumstances.

0:40:57 > 0:41:01- Will, I just had a thought.- Tell me. - We should accept it.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03THEY LAUGH

0:41:03 > 0:41:05- TRAY CLATTERS - Barry...that was a drum roll.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07Barry, shake on it.

0:41:07 > 0:41:12- You got the kiss for free. - Thank you.- Thank you very much.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15The tag team haggling approach has won

0:41:15 > 0:41:19another deal around and everyone is all bought up.

0:41:19 > 0:41:22- Yes!- Yes!- We're done!

0:41:22 > 0:41:24And what does that mean?

0:41:24 > 0:41:28Time for both teams to unveil their purchases, of course.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30I've done my hamstring.

0:41:30 > 0:41:33Bernard and Charles are up first.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36This, I reckon, is the exciting bit, isn't it?

0:41:36 > 0:41:39THEY SING SUSPENSEFUL TUNE

0:41:39 > 0:41:41You were both out of tune there, do you know that?

0:41:41 > 0:41:43- We were meant to be. - Are we going first?

0:41:43 > 0:41:47Yes. Ta-da!

0:41:47 > 0:41:48Look at that!

0:41:48 > 0:41:51They combined the German jug and Art Nouveau mirror

0:41:51 > 0:41:54- into one lot for the auction. - Which we like.

0:41:54 > 0:41:58- A lot of jug for your money. - Absolutely. 1970s.

0:41:58 > 0:42:03Next item, what I thrive on is the lovely silver pierced basket.

0:42:03 > 0:42:07- Barry, that's from Sheffield, 1905. - Yes, indeed. Very close to me.

0:42:07 > 0:42:09- Hallmarked.- It smacks of quality.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12- And then this very lovely... - Alabaster casket. Victorian.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15- I love Alabaster.- I love the sheep on top.

0:42:15 > 0:42:20- It's not, it's a spaniel. - It's a spaniel! It's not a sheep! - Thanks for coming!

0:42:20 > 0:42:24A sheep! Honestly! But there is one final beast.

0:42:24 > 0:42:29- Here, he's down there.- He's having a kip cos he's bored with everything.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32- Saying hello to you as well. - What a face!- Isn't he nice?

0:42:32 > 0:42:34He knows who the winners are.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37Barry, I'm going to ask you, are you impressed with our wares?

0:42:37 > 0:42:41- Yes, in a sense. - Don't get carried away there, Barry!

0:42:41 > 0:42:44- Are we going to reveal? - Was it a good partnership buying?

0:42:44 > 0:42:46We had fun. We agreed on everything.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48I'm going to watch this from a sitting position

0:42:48 > 0:42:51- because I know it's going to be extraordinary.- I'll give you a hand.

0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Oh, I say!- I'll give you a hand. - I say!

0:42:56 > 0:42:58- Hang on, I haven't finished yet. - Now, this is the bit.

0:42:58 > 0:43:01Da-da-da-da... The weather's right for it.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04Oh, that's great. Oh, yes.

0:43:04 > 0:43:07And it elevates when you get in, and sit in it.

0:43:07 > 0:43:09What are we talking about, elevating?

0:43:09 > 0:43:12Oh, I see! A chaise short.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15What about this camp gentleman with his hand on his hip?

0:43:15 > 0:43:17Now, who is that camp gentleman?

0:43:17 > 0:43:19- Turn him round have a good look. - Let's have a look.

0:43:19 > 0:43:21- Mr Pickwick.- Correct. - Oh, well done, sir!

0:43:21 > 0:43:23I'm intrigued by this. What is it?

0:43:23 > 0:43:26- Now, one thing at a time, are we doing...?- No, we've done Mr Pickwick.

0:43:26 > 0:43:28He's out of it. What is this?

0:43:28 > 0:43:31- This is what I want to see.- Ah, yes! This is what intrigued us.

0:43:31 > 0:43:33- Do you know what it was marked up as?- What?

0:43:33 > 0:43:36- A baguette box.- Really?- Baguette box! Isn't that wonderful?

0:43:36 > 0:43:38Have you ever heard of such a thing?

0:43:38 > 0:43:42- I think it's for carrying ferrets about... No.- Wrong.- It is.

0:43:42 > 0:43:44- No. A ferret box? No, sorry. - Do you think it's French?

0:43:44 > 0:43:45It must be, mustn't it?

0:43:45 > 0:43:46- Yeah.- Baguette.- Yeah.

0:43:46 > 0:43:48I've had enough of this - I'm having a drink.

0:43:48 > 0:43:49Get it down you, lad!

0:43:49 > 0:43:51Yeah, help yourself, Bernard.

0:43:51 > 0:43:53- CHARLES:- I think, guys, all I can say is,

0:43:53 > 0:43:55the competition is brewing,

0:43:55 > 0:43:58I'm really excited - Barry, good luck.

0:43:58 > 0:43:59And to you, Charles.

0:43:59 > 0:44:00You might need it.

0:44:00 > 0:44:03Charles, may I say thank you?

0:44:03 > 0:44:04Pleasure.

0:44:04 > 0:44:07- Well done, Will.- Bernie.

0:44:07 > 0:44:09But while the other team's backs are turned,

0:44:09 > 0:44:10what do they really think?

0:44:10 > 0:44:15I thought they pursued a rather good mediocre standard, quite frankly.

0:44:15 > 0:44:17I'm so sorry to sound smug.

0:44:17 > 0:44:18Who wants a baguette box?

0:44:18 > 0:44:22- Er, people with a lot of baguettes that they want to forget.- Yeah...

0:44:22 > 0:44:25- Let the battle commence in the saleroom.- Let the battle commence.

0:44:25 > 0:44:26May the best team win.

0:44:26 > 0:44:28I'm feeling rather emotional!

0:44:28 > 0:44:30- SOBS:- Me too, Barry!

0:44:30 > 0:44:34On this Road Trip, they've sniggered all the way from St Albans

0:44:34 > 0:44:37to end up tittering here in Twickenham, London.

0:44:37 > 0:44:39Will and Charles are motoring to auction...

0:44:39 > 0:44:41- Welcome to Twickenham. - Thank you very much.

0:44:41 > 0:44:43Thanks for having me.

0:44:43 > 0:44:45..as are Bernard and Barry.

0:44:45 > 0:44:48- BERNARD MIMICS CHAUFFEUR:- These are the back streets of Twickenham, sir.

0:44:48 > 0:44:50Yes, Cribbins, yes.

0:44:50 > 0:44:52Just off the High Street.

0:44:52 > 0:44:55Get your act together.

0:44:55 > 0:44:58Twickenham's famed as the home of the England rugby team,

0:44:58 > 0:45:02and the site of the largest rugby union stadium in the world.

0:45:02 > 0:45:04I think we're nearly there now, Barry.

0:45:04 > 0:45:06- Nearly-nearly.- Nearly.

0:45:08 > 0:45:11- They're not here yet, are they? - Do you think they've got lost?

0:45:11 > 0:45:14Oh, here they are, look.

0:45:14 > 0:45:15THEY CHUCKLE

0:45:15 > 0:45:17Good evening!

0:45:17 > 0:45:19You may joke, Barry, but it IS royalty.

0:45:19 > 0:45:21The driver's very good.

0:45:22 > 0:45:24- Hello.- How are you, sir?

0:45:24 > 0:45:27- Well, I'm better now I'm out of that car.- Very good!

0:45:27 > 0:45:30They're all piling into High Road Auctions,

0:45:30 > 0:45:34where auctioneer David Holmes will today be presiding.

0:45:34 > 0:45:36But before first gavel-strike,

0:45:36 > 0:45:39what does he think of the two teams' lots?

0:45:40 > 0:45:42Deck chair - nice thing.

0:45:42 > 0:45:46Early 20th century, I think this one's made out of beech.

0:45:46 > 0:45:49We've got the weather for it today - let's hope somebody loves it.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51Er, a gorilla cushion...

0:45:51 > 0:45:53If there's any...perhaps three to five-year-olds

0:45:53 > 0:45:56with a bank account in Twickenham, we're home and dry.

0:45:58 > 0:46:01Bernard and Charles started this Road Trip with £400

0:46:01 > 0:46:05and spent £301 exactly on five lots,

0:46:05 > 0:46:10while Barry and Will spent £151 exactly,

0:46:10 > 0:46:13and also have five lots to show for it.

0:46:13 > 0:46:14Come on, guys.

0:46:14 > 0:46:15We're on the front row tonight...

0:46:15 > 0:46:18- Good evening, how do you do? - ..for the big night.

0:46:19 > 0:46:22- Excellent!- There ought to be a stand-up before the start.

0:46:22 > 0:46:23What time's the show start?

0:46:23 > 0:46:26- Time the ice creams arrived. - The ice creams are coming round!

0:46:26 > 0:46:28So, how are you feeling? Are you feeling confident?

0:46:30 > 0:46:31What a silly question!

0:46:31 > 0:46:32Of course not.

0:46:32 > 0:46:35I refuse to be complacent.

0:46:35 > 0:46:38Arrogant, yes. Complacent, never.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40Well, wake me up when it's finished, will you?

0:46:40 > 0:46:41Good luck, big man.

0:46:41 > 0:46:43- Thanks for coming. - Thank you very much.

0:46:43 > 0:46:44- Good luck.- Good luck, Baz.

0:46:44 > 0:46:46You're not Baz, you're Will!

0:46:46 > 0:46:48The auction's about to begin. Oh, the excitement!

0:46:48 > 0:46:49Enjoy it.

0:46:49 > 0:46:54First up is Bernard and Charles' alabaster box...

0:47:01 > 0:47:04I've got a maiden bid with the gentleman there at 20. Five again?

0:47:04 > 0:47:05- 25.- Yes!- £30.

0:47:05 > 0:47:07- Five again.- Yes!- 40.

0:47:07 > 0:47:08Oh, it IS into profit!

0:47:23 > 0:47:25Done at 50. GAVEL BANGS

0:47:25 > 0:47:28- Give me a high-five. - BERNARD WHISTLES

0:47:28 > 0:47:30"Calm down," he says!

0:47:30 > 0:47:31That's top dog.

0:47:31 > 0:47:34And it puts Bernard and Charles in the lead.

0:47:34 > 0:47:36Give me a handshake.

0:47:38 > 0:47:39Well done.

0:47:39 > 0:47:41We'll give them one, Barry. We'll give them one.

0:47:41 > 0:47:44Lull them into a false sense of security.

0:47:45 > 0:47:48Next, it's the Danish glass vase for Barry and Will.

0:47:48 > 0:47:50- Very nice.- Very nice.- Very nice.

0:47:50 > 0:47:54- We have a comment in the front row. Thank you, sir.- Get it sold.

0:47:54 > 0:47:56£10, get it started. Where's the bid? Thank you.

0:48:06 > 0:48:11Any further bids? Your bid, sir. Any bids online? Are we done at 20?

0:48:11 > 0:48:13I'm going to get my coat, Barry.

0:48:13 > 0:48:14I know. GAVEL BANGS

0:48:14 > 0:48:16- Oh, dear! - Wow, that's a disappointment.

0:48:16 > 0:48:17That IS a disappointment.

0:48:17 > 0:48:20Unlucky, but both everything to play for.

0:48:21 > 0:48:25Never mind. I enjoyed owning it briefly.

0:48:25 > 0:48:26It's our gorilla, isn't it?

0:48:26 > 0:48:28Um...yeah, the gorilla.

0:48:28 > 0:48:30Your funky gibbon.

0:48:32 > 0:48:33It's not a gibbon.

0:48:33 > 0:48:34What is a gibbon?

0:48:34 > 0:48:37For goodness' sake. Much bigger than a gibbon.

0:48:37 > 0:48:39And it's the wrong colour.

0:48:39 > 0:48:41- It's an orang-utan. - I think you might be right.

0:48:41 > 0:48:45Indeed, it's the funky orang-utan next.

0:48:45 > 0:48:47This lady seems to like it.

0:48:47 > 0:48:48Go on, hug it.

0:49:03 > 0:49:04- Yep.- "Somebody"?

0:49:04 > 0:49:06Bid me £30 for it.

0:49:06 > 0:49:09I'm sure you know where this one comes from. £30, only.

0:49:09 > 0:49:12Thank you, £30, sir. 35 on that lot.

0:49:12 > 0:49:13Yes, yes!

0:49:13 > 0:49:17Anybody else want to join in with this lot? The orang-utan.

0:49:17 > 0:49:18LAUGHTER

0:49:18 > 0:49:21- Come on! - £30. I have a maiden bid.

0:49:21 > 0:49:22Don't listen to a word of it.

0:49:22 > 0:49:25It'd be a lovely dog bed! Absolutely marvellous as a dog bed,

0:49:25 > 0:49:28whether you've got a St Bernard or a Cairn Terrier. Beautiful.

0:49:29 > 0:49:31Who WAS that?

0:49:31 > 0:49:33- Would you like the hammer? - No, I wouldn't. No, no.

0:49:33 > 0:49:35£30, the maiden bid. Take five on that lot.

0:49:35 > 0:49:37I promised the judge I would never use a hammer again.

0:49:40 > 0:49:41£30 the maiden bid.

0:49:41 > 0:49:43One more.

0:49:46 > 0:49:47£10 profit.

0:49:47 > 0:49:48Well done, chaps.

0:49:48 > 0:49:49Grudgingly, but, yes.

0:49:49 > 0:49:51He's the king of the swingers.

0:49:51 > 0:49:54Thanks in part to Bernard's showmanship,

0:49:54 > 0:49:57they're building a solid advantage.

0:49:57 > 0:49:59Where does a 20-stone gorilla sleep?

0:49:59 > 0:50:00Don't know, where?

0:50:00 > 0:50:01BOTH: Anywhere he likes.

0:50:02 > 0:50:05The old ones - hah! - are the best, boys.

0:50:05 > 0:50:09Now it's Bernard and Charles' Edwardian mahogany chair.

0:50:09 > 0:50:10Start me at 50 for this one.

0:50:10 > 0:50:12Lovely side chair for your bedroom.

0:50:12 > 0:50:14- £50 for it.- Beautiful chair. - Super chair.

0:50:14 > 0:50:16- Oh...- £20, it's no money. Get it started.

0:50:23 > 0:50:25Standing there - I'll take five on this lot.

0:50:25 > 0:50:27- That's cheap. - Any bids for the internet?

0:50:27 > 0:50:29- Your bid, sir, at 40.- That's a shame.

0:50:29 > 0:50:32- Final time, fair warning... WILL:- Bang that hammer.

0:50:49 > 0:50:51But will it be the crowd's pick?

0:50:51 > 0:50:54£20 for the Lingard. I'm tempted myself.

0:50:54 > 0:50:56- Novelty teapot. - Are we tempted, guys?

0:50:56 > 0:50:58Bid me £10 for it. £10 is bid.

0:50:58 > 0:50:5915 on this one.

0:50:59 > 0:51:00£10 only.

0:51:36 > 0:51:38He's a little teapot,

0:51:38 > 0:51:41and he's put Barry and Will firmly back in the game.

0:51:41 > 0:51:43Good pick, Barry.

0:51:43 > 0:51:44Are we pleased with that?

0:51:44 > 0:51:48Pleased? That's the world record price for a Mr Pickwick teapot.

0:51:50 > 0:51:54It's French faience candlesticks now for Baz and Will.

0:51:54 > 0:51:57£20, get them started. Who's going to bid on these?

0:53:51 > 0:53:53£25 was a bargain.

0:53:53 > 0:53:54It was.

0:53:54 > 0:53:56We had to work hard for it.

0:53:56 > 0:53:59Barry was giving kisses away like there was no tomorrow.

0:53:59 > 0:54:00What?

0:54:02 > 0:54:04And it also comes rather handily

0:54:04 > 0:54:06with a beside-the-seaside postcard

0:54:06 > 0:54:09signed and inscribed by Mr Barry Cryer.

0:54:09 > 0:54:10Oh, does it, now?!

0:54:10 > 0:54:11That was sneaky.

0:54:43 > 0:54:45It's no money at 65 at the back.

0:54:45 > 0:54:46I'll 70 from you, gentleman bid.

0:55:09 > 0:55:10- Are we done at 70? - He's done us proud.

0:55:13 > 0:55:16He's done us proud. Well done, thank you, sir.

0:55:16 > 0:55:18- Brilliant.- Thank you.

0:55:18 > 0:55:19Yes!

0:55:19 > 0:55:24A smashing profit on that means happy days for Barry and Will.

0:55:24 > 0:55:25Well, it comes down to this.

0:55:25 > 0:55:27Impeccable lack of taste.

0:55:27 > 0:55:28Thanks a lot.

0:55:28 > 0:55:30- Charles...- Who is that?

0:55:30 > 0:55:32I don't know, he's just...

0:55:32 > 0:55:36So, everything hangs on Bernard and Charles' most costly punt -

0:55:36 > 0:55:38the solid silver bowl.

0:55:40 > 0:55:43Bid me £100 for it.

0:55:43 > 0:55:44It's dead.

0:55:44 > 0:55:45The room's dead.

0:55:45 > 0:55:47£50, get it started.

0:56:02 > 0:56:03Charles...

0:56:03 > 0:56:04I'll get me hat.

0:56:17 > 0:56:20£85. 90 I'll take on it.

0:56:20 > 0:56:23This is worth £150 every day.

0:56:23 > 0:56:25I have £85 only.

0:56:25 > 0:56:26I'll take 90 on it.

0:56:26 > 0:56:28The Dixon bowl.

0:56:28 > 0:56:30It makes you want to give up,

0:56:30 > 0:56:31and do something else for a living.

0:56:31 > 0:56:33Don't give Charles ideas.

0:56:33 > 0:56:35Are we done at £85 only?

0:56:35 > 0:56:36Oh, yes!

0:56:36 > 0:56:3890. Five again.

0:57:05 > 0:57:07An emotional moment.

0:57:07 > 0:57:10I haven't done the maths - Charles, may I say, well done, sir.

0:57:10 > 0:57:13It's time out. Good night.

0:57:13 > 0:57:16A sterling performance from our auctioneer

0:57:16 > 0:57:17drives a more respectable price.

0:57:17 > 0:57:19Shall we go and work out the figures?

0:57:19 > 0:57:20Yes, I think so.

0:57:20 > 0:57:21Over a nice cup of tea.

0:57:21 > 0:57:22A stiff drink.

0:57:22 > 0:57:25Bend down - bend down walking out.

0:57:25 > 0:57:26Go on, after you, sir.

0:57:26 > 0:57:29- Thank you very much. - Come on, Charles.

0:57:29 > 0:57:30Age before beauty.

0:57:30 > 0:57:32You're quite right. Well done, gents. Thank you.

0:57:32 > 0:57:35And these consummate showmen get a hand from the crowd.

0:57:35 > 0:57:37- Oh, no!- Well done.

0:57:37 > 0:57:39Thanks a lot.

0:57:39 > 0:57:40We was robbed.

0:57:40 > 0:57:43Bernard and Charles started with £400.

0:57:43 > 0:57:47After auction costs they made an unlucky loss of £83.70

0:57:47 > 0:57:49and end today with...

0:58:04 > 0:58:06They are truly today's victors.

0:58:06 > 0:58:09So, congratulations, Baz and Will.

0:58:10 > 0:58:12It was all Barry's lots that made the money.
