0:00:02 > 0:00:06- The nation's favourite celebrities... - Got some proper bling here. - ..paired up with an expert...
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Point, point!
0:00:07 > 0:00:09..and a classic car.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Get your hands up!
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Their mission, to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16All breakages must be paid for.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18This is a good find, is it not?
0:00:18 > 0:00:23The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction. But it's no easy ride.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Who will find a hidden gem? Who will take the biggest risks?
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Turn my antiques head on.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Will anybody follow expert advice?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34I think it's horrible!
0:00:34 > 0:00:36There will be worthy winners...
0:00:36 > 0:00:37This is better than Christmas!
0:00:37 > 0:00:39..and valiant losers.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45Time to put your pedal to the metal. This is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Yeah!
0:00:50 > 0:00:53On this road trip, we have a pair of very clever celebrities.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55These scientists could teach us
0:00:55 > 0:00:59a thing or two but there's one gaping hole in their vast knowledge.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I don't know anything about antiques. I'm a little nervous.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Well, you and me both.- This to me is truly a leap into the unknown.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06It really is.
0:01:06 > 0:01:12Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock MBE is a respected space scientist.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17With a degree in physics and a doctorate in mechanical engineering, she's one smart lady!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Looking at the sky in different bands of the electromagnetic
0:01:20 > 0:01:22spectrum gives you a very different viewpoint.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25When Maggie's not behind a telescope, she's in front of the camera,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27presenting The Sky At Night.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Remember, get outside and get looking up.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Miranda Krestovnikoff will go to any length...
0:01:33 > 0:01:36This is much more than some bizarre fashion statement.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40..and any depth to explain the wonders of the natural world.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44This is the closest I have ever been to puffins in the water.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Zoologist Miranda is a familiar face on programmes such as Coast,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Countryfile and The One Show,
0:01:50 > 0:01:55offering a new perspective of what lies beneath the waves.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Our two knowledgeable ladies are enjoying life in this 1961 Morris,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01which was manufactured before seatbelts were mandatory.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Not the best weather for a convertible, though.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- We're going to be blessed with rain all day.- Yes.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10I'm going to be racing in and out of the car.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Crikey! Found you, found you. That is first.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Do we have any idea where we're going?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Yes, I guess we're going to meet the experts.- And what awaits us at the other end.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Yes and you're in good hands with auctioneers Philip Serrell
0:02:22 > 0:02:27and James Braxton, who are enjoying the ride in the 1972 Lancia Fulvia.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33See, I think, James, that being a huge Star Trek fan, I think
0:02:33 > 0:02:37I should go with the physics lady, Dr Maggie.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I think that should be my course. What do you think?
0:02:40 > 0:02:45You're very happy with that, because I'm a countryman and I think that Miranda's the lady for me.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49That's the pairings scientifically selected, then
0:02:49 > 0:02:52and we'll arm them each with £400.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- I do want to win. Ha-ha! - Yeah, of course.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I was going to say, it's a bit of an evil laugh there, going on.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Lordy, I think we're going to have a proper competition today.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Let the experts meet the scientists.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Well, look at that!- Very good. Very adroitly driven.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I'm going to go and grab the physicist.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Lovely to meet you. How are you, all right?- Oh, lovely.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Enjoying the Morris, actually. - Good, good.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Very nice to meet you.- Nice to meet you. James.- James, Miranda.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23It's time to hit the road.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- What do you want to do? Drive? - Yeah, can I drive?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Of course you can. Get around that.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34It's chocks away in Yeovil before sidling across Somerset,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36heading over the River Severn into South Wales
0:03:36 > 0:03:39and ending with an auction in Clevedon.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43First, though, it's time to get to know each other.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47I'm not buying any stuffed animals, if that's where you're going. No stuffed animals.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- No stuffed animals, no, no. OK. - No, I think they're really very bizarre.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- What is your favourite bird? - My favourite bird?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56It has to be the puffin. You look at a puffin...
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Why the puffin? - You just want to smile.- Yeah.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00They're really comical, they're brightly coloured,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02they go "brrrrrrrrr""!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05How are things going in the rival Morris?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- Maggie, or shall I call you doctor? - Oh, no, no, no, no. Maggie, please.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11The Sky At Night.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Patrick Moore brought all that alive for a whole generation, didn't he?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- He did. He did the programme for 57 years.- You've been doing it for...?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- 18 months.- Right. OK. OK, OK.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24A bit of a way to go.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Maggie, why are you driving me through a river?
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- I don't know where that came from. - Really?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Whilst many Somerset towns boomed trading wool,
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Yeovil developed a speciality for making gloves.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Our foursome will share their first shopping experience
0:04:39 > 0:04:42today in Emporium Antiques.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Let's just hope we get there before the other two do.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48You're in luck, Philip. The shop's all yours. For now!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Plenty to see but any words of advice, Phil?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I think you need to go and find something.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- I'll tell you what I think.- OK, lovely.- You need to find something.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Whatever it might be, I want you to find me the best two things in here.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- OK. Well, something caught my eye but I don't know which vintage.- OK.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13- The plane.- Yes.- I think that's wicked.- Do you?- Yeah, I do.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I think that's really, really lovely.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Heavy?- Not as heavy as you'd want it to be.- Ah.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22And I suspect not as old as you'd want it to be.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26As a rough rule of thumb, if it's got a base like that on it,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29it stands a chance of not being that old.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I know a spaceplane, a modern spaceplane,
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- a design, which has this look, it's all retro 1950s. - Like a shuttle, almost.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Actually, yeah, the shuttle was a bit bulkier.- Would you want to go in the space shuttle?- Yes, actually,
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- I would have definitely gone in the space shuttle.- Would you?- Yeah.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- My dream has been to one day go into space.- Absolutely bonkers!
0:05:47 > 0:05:52The polished aluminium plane has a ticket price of £79.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- One to think about.- There's something else I saw.- Go on, then.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Squeeze through here.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58She is keen.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I love the stone.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02It's got the pink, the mottled...
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Right.- How heavy is it?
0:06:05 > 0:06:10It's got quite a weight to it. I love the colouring in it. But what is it?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- It's meant to be a curling stone. - Oh, I see.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15If you hold it like that, that...
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Oh, yes. They sweep.- Absolutely right. You like that?- I do.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23- I just like the colouring. - What we'll do...- We'll ask about it. - We'll ask about it.- It's lovely.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- But make sure you remind me that it's in my pocket.- OK.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30That little paperweight is priced at £9.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31And look who's arrived.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Hopefully, Miranda won't notice all the taxidermy in here.- Elephants.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43- A heron.- That is a heron, isn't it? - Yeah. There's a puffin here, though.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Isn't that funny?- We were talking about puffins in the car.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Yeah, your favourite bird. - That is actually a puffin. - It's got your name written on it.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Well, no, I'm afraid, you know, his beak's lost its colour and its...
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- No, it's too sad, unfortunately. - Moving on...
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I feel quite overwhelmed.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I just have absolutely no idea where to start.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05I think, just go for the unusual. The novelty is much prized nowadays.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Really?- So anything unusual. - OK.- So eyes peeled.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Will those sage words from James help?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23It's just bewildering. It's... I don't know where to start.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I don't know the value of any of these things.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27It all looks beautiful.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Um and I'm a bit terrified, actually.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34I really hope that James is going to hold my hand and help me
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- along the way, because I just don't know where to start.- Really scary.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Her favourite bird is the puffin.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44And what do we first see in this shop? A stuffed puffin!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Ah, a bit awkward, that!
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Meanwhile, Maggie's taken Philip to another corner of the shop.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Looking in here earlier, it's bizarre. But there's a cow!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Let's just have a look, shall we? - And the thing is, it's got fur.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59It's...it's...it's alive!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Skin-covered toys like this cow
0:08:02 > 0:08:06were the forerunners of the soft cuddly ones we love to squeeze today.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Ticket price is £16.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12That's quite fun. It's got a bit of...
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- A bit of a dopey smile, though, hasn't it, really?- Adds character!
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- But this is cow skin on a wooden carving.- Oh.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25I sort of kind of think she's quite nice.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29And I was thinking, the two might make a nice little desk lot.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I mean, I just think that's...
0:08:32 > 0:08:35It's...yes! Slightly demented smile!
0:08:35 > 0:08:36The cow, or Philip?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Miranda and James meanwhile have found dealer Rob.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Now what should we be looking at, Rob?
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Have you got any antiques bargains? - Tucked away in the corner somewhere!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Funnily enough, something that people walk past quite often...
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Yeah.- ..is this one here.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- OK.- And you can see the marble inset here.- Yeah.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- This is where the big unveil... Have a look at this.- Ooh-hoo!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00And if you just open this up here,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03you've actually got your cupboard with all of the pipes there.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Oh, really?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11This clever pot cupboard sports a ticket price of £345.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Your maid would have rushed up, up early,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18she would have brought hot water up,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21you would have poured it in that, remembering to put the plug in,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25and then you'd put the jug back underneath the hole,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27lo and behold - bing!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- It goes straight back into the jug. - It's perfect.- Isn't that clever?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- It's really clever.- That is typically Victorian, isn't it?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- It's just a lovely object.- It makes you smile, doesn't it?- Yes, it does.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- When you opened the door, and looked inside, it made you smile.- Yeah.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- Yeah. It is the novelty.- Novelty! That's what you wanted, James.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47And their rivals? Maggie's found something.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Oh, that's quite cool.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I love these. The sort of recessed handles.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Why do you think they'd be recessed? - It looks as if they want it flush.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00- Yeah, but why?- Ooh, yeah! I don't know. You move it around a lot, you don't want it knocked off?
0:10:00 > 0:10:05- When Colonel so-and-so went to the battle of Crimea in 1860 whatever...- Yeah.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09..he would have taken his campaign desk, his campaign chest.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Sunken handles made these chests easier to stack
0:10:12 > 0:10:16and therefore transport between military postings.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19This chest is priced at £145.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Hang on, Miranda and James have found something else.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Now what is it? Shove chalk and half pence.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31- Shove halfpenny.- Shove halfpenny. So have you played shove halfpenny?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34No. I've heard about it. Never played it. Never seen a board before.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Time for another lesson.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40So you put £10 there, or whatever, and then you got the thing
0:10:40 > 0:10:43and then you shoved it.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- And you have to get it between the lines.- Oh, my goodness.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Fabulous. There you are.- There you go. You've just won a tenner.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51You've got a score there. Won a tenner.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53So what have you got on this, Chief?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- You can have that for £20. - £20!- Which is a bargain.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Shall we have it for 20 quid?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- That's a bargain, I think. Don't you?- All right.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- That's great. We're having this, then, aren't we?- Do you like that?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- It feels good and it's wood. - Will you give us a... Rob, it sounds terribly cheeky.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Can you give us a little hand? Can we say £19 for that?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- We can indeed.- Well done. Yeah? Can we do that?- Deal.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Rob, could you do this for 100?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20For you, yes, I will. Yes. For you.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Oh, you lovely man.- Bless you. Thank you so much.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25That's two great deals.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29£19 for a boxed shove halfpenny set,
0:11:29 > 0:11:34and Rob generously knocks £245 off the pot cupboard. Crikey.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38The question is, can he afford to be so kind to the other team?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Crack on. How can I help you? - Well, let's start.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- You've got a campaign chest down there.- I have.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Can we have a look at that? - Thank you.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Now this does weigh a little bit.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- There we go. - Let's have a look at it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03It's made out of padouk wood, this, you know.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- P-A-D-O-U-K - padouk.- What's padouk?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Padouk is... Padouk is um,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11er, to the best of my knowledge, it's an equatorial hardwood.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15It's the sort of thing that if you're a colonial officer,
0:12:15 > 0:12:19you might have a campaign chest made out of padouk wood.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Right. Yes.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I mean, I actually quite like that.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26We could do it for you for £40.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29£40? That's a great discount.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32The chest isn't all these two are interested in.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- So we also quite like the little... - OK.- ..cow.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Oh, that's fantastic, isn't it?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40And the little paperweight, really, I suppose.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43We've got £16 on this one. £9 on this one.
0:12:43 > 0:12:49How about, just for you guys, £55 for the three pieces.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- We haven't quite finished yet. - No problem.- There's the aeroplane.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54I'll bring it over.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Cos it's got a bit of weight to it and I just like the sort of
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- 1950s sleek design.- Yeah. It's got no real age to it as far as I know but, like you say,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05it's very difficult to tell with something like this.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08It's really a desk piece, isn't it, on a gentleman's desk.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12I'll tell you what I was thinking. I was thinking, £10 for that.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- £20 for that. £40 for that.- Yes.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17So are you happy that we buy those three?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Lovely, and we've got potentially two lots or more.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- One, two, three, four and £70?- Yes. £70. Yeah. I'm very happy with that.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- I'll shake your hand, now, sir. Brilliant. Thank you, Philip.- Thank you.- I hope you do really well.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Thank you. You've been really good to us.- Thank you.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34He has been good and four items in their first shop is good going.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Time for the physicist to do the math.
0:13:36 > 0:13:4020, 40, 60. And ten. 70 quid.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45That's both teams off to a flying start.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Cos we've got quite a few good things under our belts now.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Well, you've done really, really well.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Really well. Are you sure you haven't done this before?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Phillip's impressed with his celeb.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57But what of their rivals out on the open road?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Are you very competitive, Miranda?
0:13:59 > 0:14:04I have to say, I really am quite competitive. But this is a...
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- I'm so...- Let's beat Maggie!
0:14:07 > 0:14:11James and Miranda have motored the Lancia 20 miles north-east to
0:14:11 > 0:14:14one of the prettiest market towns in Somerset, Castle Cary.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19MUSIC: A String Of Pearls by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra
0:14:19 > 0:14:21OK.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25They've come to hear about a local man whose legacy has helped millions of people.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30To share the little-known story of Douglas Macmillan,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33is Castle Cary resident David Gee.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- David, nice to meet you. - Welcome.- Miranda.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Hello, James.- Welcome.
0:14:38 > 0:14:44When Douglas was growing up in the early 1900s, there was no NHS.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Healthcare was a luxury few could afford.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49When his father William became severely unwell, there was
0:14:49 > 0:14:52little support for him and none for his family.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Young Douglas could only watch as his dad deteriorated.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00William McMillan contracted cancer and Douglas saw him
0:15:00 > 0:15:03go down so quickly and it really hit him
0:15:03 > 0:15:06and he resolved that people should not suffer like this.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09The death of his father left a deep impression.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13In his dad's memory, 27-year-old Douglas created
0:15:13 > 0:15:17the Society for the Prevention and Relief of Cancer.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20In the early days, he talked about cure and prevention
0:15:20 > 0:15:23but later on, it was established
0:15:23 > 0:15:25as a nationally registered charity in 1924
0:15:25 > 0:15:26and around about that time,
0:15:26 > 0:15:29he turned more to the caring for people with cancer,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31rather than trying to cure it
0:15:31 > 0:15:34and he made it his life's work and it became his hobby
0:15:34 > 0:15:37and effectively his work to do something about this.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Despite working full-time as a civil servant,
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Douglas dedicated his spare waking hours to the charity.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46He believed families needed support at a time
0:15:46 > 0:15:49when the breadwinner was unwell.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51During the War, Douglas even collected coal
0:15:51 > 0:15:55and personally delivered it to homes of cancer patients.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59A unique exhibition in the Castle Cary museum recognises
0:15:59 > 0:16:02the work of this compassionate man.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05We've got this document here with his aims. He says,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08"I want to see homes for cancer patients throughout the land
0:16:08 > 0:16:11"where attention will be provided freely or at low cost,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13"as circumstances dictate
0:16:13 > 0:16:17"and I want also to see panels of voluntary nurses who can be detailed
0:16:17 > 0:16:21"off to attend the necessitous patients in their own homes."
0:16:21 > 0:16:24That's the start of Macmillan nurses, of course.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28You mention the name Macmillan and people instantly recognise it.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- Macmillan nurses, yeah. - That's right.- He looks very kindly, doesn't he?- He was a kindly man.
0:16:33 > 0:16:3530 years after its launch,
0:16:35 > 0:16:40Douglas's charity was receiving donations of over £16,000 annually.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Half a million in today's money.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49In 1948, Health Minister Nye Bevan had a radical idea that has
0:16:49 > 0:16:51since become the envy of the world.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56The revolutionary National Health Service provided free
0:16:56 > 0:16:59care for all at the point of need.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Drugs and surgery were now freely available but Douglas spent
0:17:03 > 0:17:07the next 20 years campaigning for better facilities in hospitals.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Meanwhile, the charity was pioneering a new approach to
0:17:10 > 0:17:14care by supporting the families of those diagnosed with cancer too.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18This is a particularly nice picture.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22This is Douglas in his latter years, in his retirement home
0:17:22 > 0:17:26in Ansford, which is a little piece of Castle Cary on the edge.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29He had a house built and he retired there,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32came back in 1965, I think it was.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35In 1945, Douglas retired from the civil service
0:17:35 > 0:17:38and threw himself into fundraising.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41His ground-breaking work was gaining recognition.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45World Cup footballer Stanley Matthews and top comedian Arthur Askey
0:17:45 > 0:17:49stepped up to support Douglas and boost the profile of the charity.
0:17:50 > 0:17:56Douglas died in 1969. The charity he nurtured for over 50 years continues.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59His legacy is now one of the country's biggest charities,
0:17:59 > 0:18:04raising over £200 million in 2015.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Well, thank you so much... - Thank you.- ..for sharing that.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09We got a real flavour of this man
0:18:09 > 0:18:13and his wonderful life and his caring nature
0:18:13 > 0:18:15and the legacy that he left behind as well.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- It's been really enlightening. Thanks ever so much.- Thank you.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- A pleasure. Pleased to meet you. - Thank you.- Pleasure.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29Back on the road, how are Philip and our inspiring stargazer getting along?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I was just really keen to get a closer look at the stars.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36And telescopes are expensive. But then I made my own telescope.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- You made your own telescope? - Yes. It takes a while.
0:18:40 > 0:18:46- So you made your own telescope at 14?- Yeah. It was a necessity really.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Can I just tell you that I didn't?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Maggie and Philip are headed to Somerton,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54the former county town of Somerset.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58The next stop is right in the heart of the town.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00We did really well at the last place, you know,
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- so I think we should just chill here.- Oh, yes.- You go and find something you really, really like
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- and I'll try and find something that I really, really like.- OK.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Then we'll compare notes later. - Absolutely right.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Sounds like a plan.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I've no idea what it's for.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Hmm. Perhaps a more familiar item, then.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Now, of course, for me, seeing a telescope, I can't resist, so...
0:19:24 > 0:19:26And this is a beautiful one. A nice weight to it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29And it's got this built-in lens cap either end.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33So there's one at that end and then one at this end, too.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37It's a nice piece, yeah. Ah, stiff.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40But quite nice wood.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Nice metal features. I think it's still a thing of beauty,
0:19:43 > 0:19:47so I'd like to get Phil's input on that, to get a feel of... yeah, of the age of it.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52Well, I can tell you, it's Georgian and it's priced at £58.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Maggie's gone off looking on her own.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57So I'm sort of wondering what she's going to come back with.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02You know, it could be a telescope, some kind of scientific microscope.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04It could even be a new planet!
0:20:04 > 0:20:08But she'll come back with something, that's for sure. Here she is, look.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- How are you?- I'm fine, thank you. - Have you found lots of things?
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- I have.- Really? - But, yeah, I don't know much about them so I'd like to find out more.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19You're asking me? Come on, then. Let's go and have a look.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- Guess what, Philip? - I know what that is.- Yeah.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24This is it, isn't it? It is. A telescope. I couldn't resist. OK.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Let's have a look at this, then. - I wasn't sure what to look for.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30When you draw these out like that,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33you would find a name like Dollond or something like that
0:20:33 > 0:20:38just on here and of course on this, there's absolutely diddly.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40That's quite a length.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Cos I do think this is an astronomical telescope.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- What difference is there? You think this is a seafaring one, do you? - Yes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Actually, it's partly aperture size and with a telescope,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50cos you're looking at a dim objects,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53you usually want to get as big an opening as possible.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56So this might have been used by a ship's captain or
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- something like that, you think?- Yes. Imagine them sort of on the deck.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- There's a long thing.- That sort of appeals to you?- Oh, yes, yes.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Cos I'm into optics. And I made my own telescope, so it's sort of...
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I remember that. Yeah, yeah.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10OK, right.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15- I went out with a girl once who made her own telescope. Come on, then. - Weird, was she?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Phillip's got his eye on some things, too.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21These sticks here, which I think are really quite fun.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- If I just put that down there for a second.- Yeah.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28So, the first one, yeah, isn't actually a stick. It's a measure.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- It is.- Well, it says here it's a draper's yardstick.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Ah, OK. For material?- Yeah.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37So that's quite interesting.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42This is a swagger stick, so you can...
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Yeah, so you can swagger.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47It's quite nice. It's leather covered.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- And a metal end.- Yeah.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51What sort of weight?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Oh, yes. I think a good swagger with that...- Yeah.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56"Look at me, I just found a new planet."
0:21:56 > 0:21:59What have you found?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Erm... This I like.- Ooh. Knobbly.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07Well, yeah. It's either blackthorn or it's off a rose.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Oh, yeah, cos it's got the burrs.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11That, I just think is interesting.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12This...
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Yes, like a head.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I just think... Isn't that a lovely little doggie?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Yes.- So he's quite nice.- Gosh.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- And last, but not least... - Ah.- Do you know what that is?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26That's... Ooh. Oh, my.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- I thought it was snakeskin.- No.- No!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Ooh.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- It's a shark's vertebra. - My goodness!
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- Right?- Yeah.- So...
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- It's got wobble.- Yeah.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I mean, it needs tightening up a little bit,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42but it's a shark's vertebra and I just think that's quite a fun stick.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- So you like all of these, do you?- I do.- OK.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Let me just go and get the shopkeeper
0:22:47 > 0:22:49and see where we can go.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Collectively, the sticks are priced at £330.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Will dealer Peter be open for a deal?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59What we're were hoping - the first thing that we'd like
0:22:59 > 0:23:01to buy off you is that, this lovely telescope.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03What could you do that for?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I think the very best on that's going to be about £35, Phil.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08About. I like the "about" bit.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Well... It's a bit more.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Would "about" be 30, do you think, or not?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15I think we're... Yeah, we could possibly do that for 30 for you.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Well, let's put that one down. You'd like that, wouldn't you?
0:23:18 > 0:23:19- I do.- So we'll definitely have that?- Yes.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Right, let's put that there. That's a sold.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24And then these sticks, we really love these.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26If we could buy all of them, we'd buy all of them,
0:23:26 > 0:23:27but it's all down to price, isn't it?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I could do you a good price on all of them.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31OK, what's a good price on all of them?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33£180 for the lot.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35What do you want to do?
0:23:35 > 0:23:39If we do it as a job lot, five sticks does seem quite substantial.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- OK. Done.- And I think we've got enough money to play with.- Yeah.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Done. Done, done, done, done, done. - Thank you very much.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Thank you very much. Thank you. - Thank you.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Thank you for looking after us. Thank you.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51That's a deal for the telescope at £30
0:23:51 > 0:23:55and the collection of sticks with £120 knocked off.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- Show me how to find a planet. - SHE LAUGHS
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Do you know what?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I think Planet Serrell's got a really nice ring to it.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Well, don't stargaze beyond your bedtime.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Another big day tomorrow. Nighty-night.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14The next morning, our celebrities are dissecting yesterday's events.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15I didn't know where to start...
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Looking at the bric-a-brac for me, working sort of scientifically.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20"This has a value and it's this much..."
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Yes, it's logical.- That's it. But this is, sort of, market-led
0:24:23 > 0:24:25and you don't know what the market is, so...
0:24:25 > 0:24:27And I find that quite hard.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31I learnt a huge amount about what makes something interesting,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34buyable, attractive to other people...
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Look, a heron. Look at him go!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38It's beautiful. Wow.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Can we look at the wildlife, please?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- You've got a one-track mind. - I really have.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Yesterday, Miranda and James parted with £119
0:24:47 > 0:24:51for a Victorian mahogany washstand and a shove ha'penny set.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Fabulous!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55There we go. You just won a tenner.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58They still have £281 left to spent today.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04While Maggie and Philip picked up a toy cow, a marble paperweight,
0:25:04 > 0:25:08a polished aluminium model aeroplane, a campaign chest, a telescope
0:25:08 > 0:25:10and a collection of sticks.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15"Look at me, I just found a new planet!"
0:25:15 > 0:25:17They spent £280,
0:25:17 > 0:25:21leaving them £120 for today's purchases.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22We've done really, really well.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Really well. Are you sure you haven't done this before?
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Yesterday was rather a success, apart from the Lancia, that is.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Driven through one too many puddles, perhaps,
0:25:31 > 0:25:32and it looks like that chap's struggling.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- What have you done to our car?! - I didn't do anything...
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- What have you done to our car? - We thought it was a boat.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- It's not a boat, is it? - Oh, no, puddles...
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Walk! She's got her walking shoes on.- We might enjoy it.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I'll drive, come on. Is that all right?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Maggie and Philip set off on foot because today,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Miranda and James have the only working car.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59I went to bed and all I could think about was antiques.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Oh, my goodness me, my head was full of all the stuff that we saw,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04the things that we bought and the things that we didn't buy
0:26:04 > 0:26:07and did we make the right decisions. I think we did, actually.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- I was really pleased.- So, on quiet reflection...?- Yeah, happy. Happy.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13That's what I like to hear.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15This morning, James and Miranda kick off the shopping
0:26:15 > 0:26:17in the Welsh capital.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Cardiff was once the world's busiest port,
0:26:22 > 0:26:26with its fortunes built on the export of coal.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Absolutely enormous, isn't it?
0:26:30 > 0:26:35- It's a big old industrial thing, but if we come this way...- OK.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39- Where do we start?- I think we can go up and down here.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43A huge pumping station in Victorian times, this place is now home
0:26:43 > 0:26:48to over 30 traders and our brave duo have over £280 to spend.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51That's one of those amazing silver chests.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54So that's what you kept your silver in.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- If one had lots of silver.- Yes.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00So normally, that would be inscribed with the owner's name.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- You could fit a small child in there, couldn't you?- Yeah.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- SHE GIGGLES - But look at the engravings.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Sold by Goldsmiths, jeweller,
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- to HR...- HRH! The Duke of Sussex. - Duke of Sussex.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Interesting provenance, but this chest has seen better days.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19- This is just old wallpaper. They were normally base-lined.- OK.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21So you'd keep everything protected.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23And this would have gone to maybe a bank
0:27:23 > 0:27:26or a place of safe storage when people were away.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Funny, isn't it? It's something and nothing.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31You really want that engraving on the inside to be one
0:27:31 > 0:27:32- the outside, don't you?- Yeah.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Not for them this time then.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Right... We've only touched the surface of this place.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39- God...- Oh, dear!
0:27:39 > 0:27:45- Big old... Big old lion.- Oh, my word!
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Poor Miranda. Can't seem to get away from stuffed animals.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Let's have a look at this fellow. - Right.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57So...this should be a sleeve-cut, just beautifully fitted.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- And then you'd undo this... - What would go in there?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Probably, er, hard liquor.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Great. Pour me a cup, then.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Is this all silver then?
0:28:08 > 0:28:12We've got a mark here, but we should have four or five marks,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15so very definitely plate.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Had that had a silver mark on it,
0:28:16 > 0:28:19that would've been well worth buying.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- It's plated.- OK. - But a beautiful design.- OK.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26And at £95, unlikely to make a profit at auction.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Nothing catching your eye? Perhaps time to think of a plan B, James.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I think for a last throw of the dice,
0:28:38 > 0:28:41I think we should go to the shop in Newport.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44So it's our very last shop, it's our last chance,
0:28:44 > 0:28:48- but I think we'll have more fun there.- OK.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52James, that's a big gamble. It's now all or nothing at the next shop.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- Oh, well. - Not very fruitful, then.- No.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- What a shame.- Chin up!
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Back in Newport, Philip and Maggie are on foot
0:29:03 > 0:29:05and heading towards the city centre.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11They're quite literally following in the steps of the 20,000 men
0:29:11 > 0:29:14who brought this country the closest it has ever been
0:29:14 > 0:29:16to a full-blown revolution.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21- Welcome to Newport Museum and Art Gallery.- Good to see you.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24To hear how a group of men, led by local John Frost,
0:29:24 > 0:29:27were intent on toppling the government in 1839,
0:29:27 > 0:29:31they're meeting museum manager, Mike Lewis.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35John Frost became very enthusiastic about Chartism.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37They say he was an eloquent orator
0:29:37 > 0:29:43and became a kind of de facto head of the Chartism movement in Newport.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45So what is the Chartist movement?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47The Chartist movement was a movement...
0:29:47 > 0:29:49really a fight for democracy.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51A parliament that reflected the aspirations
0:29:51 > 0:29:53of the greater population,
0:29:53 > 0:29:56that was really what the Chartist movement were fighting for.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00In the 1830s, there was growing discontent across Britain.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02The government was made up of wealthy landowners,
0:30:02 > 0:30:07able to buy their way into parliament and reluctant to relinquish control.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Industrialisation had created a working class desperate
0:30:12 > 0:30:16for fairer pay and conditions, yet powerless to bring about change.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19For a lot of the workers in the factories, in the mines,
0:30:19 > 0:30:20it was pretty grim.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23But the Chartists were also middle-class,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26shop-owning people that were denied the right to vote.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27So who could vote?
0:30:27 > 0:30:29You had to have a property qualification, so all the
0:30:29 > 0:30:33renting classes were denied the vote and that was more or less everybody.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35John Frost, like millions of others,
0:30:35 > 0:30:38had signed a petition called the Great Charter.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42It demanded votes for all and for any man to be able to stand as an MP -
0:30:42 > 0:30:47rights we take for granted today, but revolutionary thinking at the time.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50You had this charter and it was put forward. What was the response?
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Well, the charter was rejected by the parliament.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56This must have really rocked the establishment boat, really?
0:30:56 > 0:30:59I suppose that's why they didn't vote for it in parliament.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01They didn't want this to happen. They had the power.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- This is our little club, thank you. - Yes, that's it.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Political upheaval was rippling across Europe.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09The French, unhappy with how their country was run...
0:31:11 > 0:31:13..overthrew those in power.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16British MPs knew their necks were on the line too.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Fearing a revolution on home soil, they banned Chartist meetings,
0:31:20 > 0:31:22intent on stamping out the cause.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27The police were ordered to round up Chartists nationwide
0:31:27 > 0:31:29and the focus fell on Newport.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32You mentioned John Frost. This is a poster written by him.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- What's he saying in here? - That's right.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38A number of Chartist sympathisers had been set upon
0:31:38 > 0:31:41by a number of special constables
0:31:41 > 0:31:47and they were taken prisoner and this pamphlet really is asking
0:31:47 > 0:31:49the working men of Monmouthshire to stay cool
0:31:49 > 0:31:54but firm in their demands for the Chartists' rights.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Despite John Frost calling for calm in Newport,
0:31:56 > 0:31:59his fellow Chartists were becoming impatient.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05Their motto was "Peaceably, if we can. Forcibly, if we must."
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- So basically, it was a powder keg and it could all blow up?- I think
0:32:07 > 0:32:12the feeling was at this time that we were on the edge of something.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Thousands of men armed themselves with home-made weapons,
0:32:16 > 0:32:20left their homes in the Welsh valleys and marched through the night.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22They headed for central Newport to demand
0:32:22 > 0:32:24the freedom of the imprisoned men.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27But they arrived cold, wet and exhausted.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Of the many thousands that planned to meet outside the Westgate Hotel,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35where they believed the men were being held,
0:32:35 > 0:32:37only a fraction arrived on time.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Worse still, Newport's mayor had heard of the Chartists' plans
0:32:41 > 0:32:43and had called in the army.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Thomas Phillips, mayor of Newport,
0:32:45 > 0:32:49stationed elements of the 45th regiment at the workhouse,
0:32:49 > 0:32:50which was on the outskirts of Newport,
0:32:50 > 0:32:53and brought a detachment into the Westgate Hotel.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57They waited for the marchers to come down Stow Hill, and they did,
0:32:57 > 0:32:59and they circled round the front of the hotel
0:32:59 > 0:33:01and then somebody fired a shot.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05The next action was the soldiers threw open the shutters
0:33:05 > 0:33:08and opened fire on the mass in front of them.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- So that first shot was the tinderbox?- It was.
0:33:11 > 0:33:1722 men were killed instantly, many more wounded, all of them Chartists.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18The rest ran for their lives.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Soon after the authorities took control,
0:33:21 > 0:33:25they rounded up a number of the Chartists, including John Frost,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28and they were then taken to Monmouth and charged with treason.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31It was feared that had the Chartists overthrown
0:33:31 > 0:33:34the authorities in Newport, other uprisings nationwide
0:33:34 > 0:33:38would have brought the country to the brink of a revolution.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39So what happened to John Frost?
0:33:39 > 0:33:41He was put on trial shortly after the rising.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46He was found guilty of treason and then sentenced to be hanged
0:33:46 > 0:33:48and quartered.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49And is that what happened?
0:33:49 > 0:33:53No, there was a bit of disquiet about the fact that these sentences
0:33:53 > 0:33:55were so harsh and very quickly,
0:33:55 > 0:33:59the sentence was commuted to transportation and John Frost
0:33:59 > 0:34:04then went to Australia with his two other treason-charged colleagues.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Even with one of its leaders punished with exile,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10and despite the government's success in quashing the uprising,
0:34:10 > 0:34:15the Chartist movement did not die on the steps of the Westgate Hotel.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16The campaign continued
0:34:16 > 0:34:20and persistent peaceful protests encouraged parliament to rethink.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Electoral reform took place over the following years,
0:34:25 > 0:34:30but it wasn't until 1928 that all men and women over 21 were able to vote.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33I'm just really embarrassed that my history taught me
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- nothing about this.- I didn't know anything about it either.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Remarkably, other than annual elections,
0:34:38 > 0:34:43today, Britain's political system has adopted five of the six demands
0:34:43 > 0:34:46set out in the Great Charter.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48As for John Frost, he was given a full pardon.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51He returned to Britain after 15 years in Australia.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55He died in 1877 aged 92.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Thank you very much for coming along and please come back to Newport
0:34:58 > 0:35:00to find out a little bit more about the Chartist story.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Perfect. Thank you.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Hot on the heels of their rivals,
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Miranda and James have made their way back
0:35:08 > 0:35:10along the coast to sunny Newport.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- At least we haven't got the rain today.- No.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15It was a bit aquatic yesterday, driving through those puddles.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- Look at this.- A bit of sunshine today.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- South Wales delivering sunshine. - It really is.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23- And agriculture.- Grumpy cows.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24They're enjoying the day!
0:35:24 > 0:35:27With £281 left to spend,
0:35:27 > 0:35:31this next shop really is the last roll of the dice.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- This is it.- This is it. - This is the one.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38This is our cornucopia.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40They're optimistic.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- Ah, sanctuary.- Yeah!
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- This looks interesting, doesn't it? - It does look interesting.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52- So I think, should we ask mein host?- Yeah.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53John's the main man here.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57We have a challenge. You are our last hope.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00We come here wanting to buy about three items.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Now, have you got some goodies? Have you got anything sorted away?
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- 'Fraid not.- Oh, no!
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Do you want to go and have a little rummage?
0:36:09 > 0:36:11- I think that's our only option I'm afraid.- OK.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15- All right, we'll rummage away, then. - If anything springs to mind, John...
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- Yeah.- I'll dig it out immediately. - That'd be lovely.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20(Can't let the others win, James!)
0:36:20 > 0:36:22No pressure, James, eh?
0:36:23 > 0:36:26I'm looking inside everything.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29There's got to be something.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Hang on. John's found something.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33Oh, God!
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- HE LAUGHS - It's a sweet little thing.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41A stuffed armadillo given new life as a card tray.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43I just... Sorry.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- No. I really can't. - You can't even...
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Something about dead animals. No.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Not to my taste either.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Dead animals everywhere. Poor Miranda.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54The pressure's on, James.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56CLATTERING
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Looking up, looking down, looking all around.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07I think the clock can stay down.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09CREAKING
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Hmm... It doesn't even work.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16HE SIGHS
0:37:16 > 0:37:19James has started sighing quite a bit,
0:37:19 > 0:37:21which has made me slightly worried.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24Something of value.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28We must have been round the shop about ten times.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30There really is literally nothing.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- What have we done, James? - White flag's going up soon.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- No!- The white flag is being raised.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40CRASHING
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Oh, battery pack.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- Lordy. Really, James?- Sorry.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47As Miranda and James continue their hunt...
0:37:48 > 0:37:51..Maggie and Phil have headed the 20 miles east
0:37:51 > 0:37:54to the Welsh border town of Chepstow.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57Doing some of the journey on foot
0:37:57 > 0:38:00allows more time for Maggie to impress our Phil.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- Ooh, actually, I went out to Nasa headquarters...- You've been to Nasa?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- Yes. Yes.- Really?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- That's wicked!- Comes with the job! - What were you doing there?
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- There was a Pluto fly-by.- Yeah.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13And so the press of the world all gathered in Nasa headquarters
0:38:13 > 0:38:17to actually see a space probe go past Pluto.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19That's just absolutely fantastic.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- Really, really fantastic. - It's amazing.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25It certainly is. Now time to buy some antiques.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- So here's our shop, look. - Looks interesting.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- I like the look of that before I start.- Ooh! That's beautiful.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- It is.- Is it oak? - You're absolutely spot on.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Coffer. Late 17th, early 18th-century.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Wow! I love the way you can do that.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45Well, it's really interesting in an anorak sort of a way.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- I'm an anorak!- Shall we dissect it?
0:38:47 > 0:38:48Yeah, yeah, please do!
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Right, Phil, your chance to impress your celeb. Good luck!
0:38:53 > 0:38:54OK, what does that tell you?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56OK. There was something there that's come out.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- That's all you need to know.- OK.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01So something's gone on there. That's the first thing you need to know.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02- What's happened there?- OK.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- That looks like these aren't the original hinges.- Yeah.
0:39:05 > 0:39:06So we know something's happened there.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Look at this - can you see that line down there?- Yes.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10And this side as well, all the way round.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13There's been a little box there and you'd have kept candles in there.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17- Why?- The candles, I think they probably contained camphor.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19But this, the whole box, the big box,
0:39:19 > 0:39:25- is a blanket box and for materials, so the wax...- Camphor is mothballs.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28..it keeps the moths away so your little candle box
0:39:28 > 0:39:31tucked on the end is also a huge great mothball.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33So you know where your candles are and it's keeping the moths away.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- Absolutely.- Dual use! - Very, very clever.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37There's one last bit of social history
0:39:37 > 0:39:39that I love about these things.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43This has been reduced, I would think by about two or three inches.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- Oh, so it would be taller?- Yeah. The reason why is... Imagine this
0:39:46 > 0:39:48in a really big, grand hall.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Timbered grand hall. And an even, flagstone floor.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55And to clean the flagstone floor, you chuck water on it.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- Chuck water on it, you rot the legs.- Right.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59So these things get cut down and reduced in size.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- I still love it. - Well, I like it a lot.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06It's looking like a good, sturdy box and I love all that history.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08You've given it a life to me.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09Well done.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Well, it's priced up at £225.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14If you want to make a cheeky offer of 120,
0:40:14 > 0:40:17but we can't go any more because we haven't got more.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Right, go on, then.
0:40:20 > 0:40:26One tiny step into a shop and one giant find for the space scientist.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29But can she pull off the deal of the road trip?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31- I'm Maggie.- Good afternoon.- Lovely to meet you.
0:40:31 > 0:40:32Hi, I'm Philip. How are you, Dawn?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Hello. Good afternoon, welcome to Chepstow.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- Well, we've seen something we like, haven't we?- We have.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41- It's the large wooden chest. - The coffer?- The coffer, yes.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Erm... We had a look at it. I really love it.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46- That's probably a bad negotiation tactic! - SHE LAUGHS
0:40:46 > 0:40:49This isn't going down very well, now, is it?
0:40:49 > 0:40:52But, yeah, we've got £120 left.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Do you think you can help us?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57I've got the money here.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Lay it out on the table and she might go for it!
0:41:00 > 0:41:02As you've asked so nicely... Go on!
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- Oh, thank you so much. - Are you sure?- Yes.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Go on.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07Well done, Maggie.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11£125 off the ticket price of the knocked-about coffer.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13I'm going to take you shopping again with me, because you are good.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15- Really good.- This is fun. I'm loving it.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- I so love this chest, though. - It's great, isn't it?
0:41:18 > 0:41:22Yes, it is. And you found it without even going into the shop.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- We spent all the money! - Every last penny.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- I'm really pleased. We've done well. - I love what we've got.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30As for the other team, are they still struggling?
0:41:32 > 0:41:33Not looking good.
0:41:33 > 0:41:38You see, that's a... You know, that's a thing of yesteryear.
0:41:38 > 0:41:39A table like that, yeah.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Ooh, this could be something.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- Right, OK.- It's funny.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48Why would you do a square table and then offset it?
0:41:48 > 0:41:51So you can stick it in a corner easily or...not easily?
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Well, it's still there, isn't it? It's just a weird one.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Just a different way of doing things, isn't it?
0:41:57 > 0:42:02But to what extent do people buy late-Victorian tables, nowadays?
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Well, I wouldn't, personally.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08- But, erm...- It's got a butterfly wing shaped top.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10It's got a lot going on for it, hasn't it?
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Sounds like a strong contender.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Now, keep going, James.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16It's got some weight to it.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18- Yeah.- Yeah.- What are you looking for?
0:42:18 > 0:42:22This one's quite good because it's really nice thick enamel.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26The Sunday Dispatch was once Britain's biggest-selling
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Sunday newspaper. It ceased publication in the early '60s.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32This sign would have adorned a newsagent's wall.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Do people collect these?
0:42:34 > 0:42:39Yeah. Lots of pubs, restaurants, they collect them.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42This is quite a nice one. It's big and bright.
0:42:42 > 0:42:47It doesn't have a picture, a decorative element to it.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51It's a magazine, but somebody doing up a pub would like this.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55- John's asking £60 for the sign. - Let's hold that thought.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56Hold that thought, OK.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00- That's given me a little bit of positive hope.- Come on. Come on.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- Positive hope. - OK.- Might be another sign.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04I quite like the table. I don't know why I like the table.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06But I like its quirkiness.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09I'm not sure Miranda's so keen, though, James.
0:43:09 > 0:43:15- You've got to talk me into the table.- 99% of tables will be...
0:43:15 > 0:43:18- Square.- Will be squared to the top.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22None of it's damaged. It's got a gallery at the bottom.
0:43:22 > 0:43:27And, you know, every home should have one, especially an offset one.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29- Are you selling it to me?- Yeah.
0:43:29 > 0:43:30This is a gamble.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34Brown furniture doesn't make the money it once did.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37John's priced it at £60.
0:43:37 > 0:43:42John, if we said 25 for this and 25 for the enamel sign,
0:43:42 > 0:43:46- and... We need something meatier, don't we?- Hmm.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Leave no stone unturned, James.
0:43:49 > 0:43:50How about a bowl of fruit?
0:43:52 > 0:43:54- Miranda...- Hello. - Would you buy this?
0:43:54 > 0:43:59- Talking about your five a day. - LAUGHING:- That is horrible!
0:43:59 > 0:44:00- What?- It's horrible.
0:44:00 > 0:44:05- But is it...? - Really horrible.- Is that kitsch?
0:44:05 > 0:44:07Is that kitsch?
0:44:07 > 0:44:11- Is that horrible? - Would you have that in your house?
0:44:11 > 0:44:14You know, you're the expert, but I think it's absolutely hideous.
0:44:14 > 0:44:16- Do you think that's hideous?- Yeah.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19Would somebody pay... ten quid for it?
0:44:19 > 0:44:23But is that something that you could say?
0:44:23 > 0:44:25"That should be part of your five a day."
0:44:25 > 0:44:28That is, you know...
0:44:28 > 0:44:30John's asking £12 for all this fruit.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35- You quite like it, don't you? - I do quite like it.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38It's spectacularly hideous, isn't it? In a way?
0:44:38 > 0:44:41In a sort of smiley way. It did make me smile.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44- Made you smile!- I know.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46Wasn't quite the reaction I was hoping for.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48I tell you what. I like that so much, I'll just sell it for a fiver.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50A fiver, that's just what I was thinking,
0:44:50 > 0:44:52- OK. Mind-reader. Should we do it?- We've got to.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54I think...
0:44:54 > 0:44:59So that's 25 for the table, 25 for the enamel and a fiver for that...
0:44:59 > 0:45:00It's not bad shopping. £55.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02- You'll make money on that. - Thank you, John.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05- Thank you.- Are we done?- We are done. Give the man a shake.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08- Thank you so much. It's been an experience.- It has!
0:45:08 > 0:45:11- Thank you very much. - No, a pleasure. Pleasure.
0:45:11 > 0:45:15Well done, James, for helping Miranda find three final items to take
0:45:15 > 0:45:18to auction at the knock-down price of £55.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22Right, we need to settle up with you, then, John.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24- Thank you so much. You've been a star.- Yeah, thank you, John.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26- Very kind. Thank you. Thank you.- Great.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28See you again. Bye-bye.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30- Happy?- Yep. Very happy.
0:45:30 > 0:45:31After all that excitement,
0:45:31 > 0:45:35let's get our teams back together to see who's bought what.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37- You've got to brace yourselves. - Three, two, one! Go.
0:45:37 > 0:45:41- PHIL:- What on earth is that there?
0:45:42 > 0:45:44- James, that's awful. - Apparently it's Italian.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46How much did you pay for that?
0:45:46 > 0:45:47Well... A fiver.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49- You were robbed! - THEY LAUGH
0:45:49 > 0:45:52- That is filthy.- But I love the table. That looks beautiful.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55- Do you like the table?- I do. - How much was the table, James?
0:45:55 > 0:45:58- Er... 25.- Well, that's for nothing, isn't it?
0:45:58 > 0:46:00I like the fact that it's offset.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03- The washstand looks quite cool. - Yeah, that's quite cool.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Actually, the closer I get to that...
0:46:06 > 0:46:07What on earth?!
0:46:07 > 0:46:12Looks like something out of a medical journal, doesn't it?
0:46:12 > 0:46:13How much was your tin sign?
0:46:13 > 0:46:19- £25.- No, the trouble is, you keep being drawn back to this...
0:46:19 > 0:46:21It's mesmerising, isn't it?
0:46:21 > 0:46:23Time for Maggie and Phil's pile.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25I've just got to tell you, we've got nothing like that.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28- Nothing... - Really? Nothing of this quality.
0:46:28 > 0:46:29- No, no.- You'll be pleased to know!
0:46:29 > 0:46:33- How much did you spend in all? - Every penny, mate.- Everything.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36I'd be fascinated to see what £400 buys.
0:46:36 > 0:46:40- Actually buys you.- Yeah. - Are you ready? Three, two, one, go!
0:46:41 > 0:46:43Look at that!
0:46:43 > 0:46:47I tell you what £400 buys you - almost an auction sale.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49- Absolutely right, yeah. - You've got everything covered.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52You've got miscellaneous section, you've got furniture.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55- You're doing well! - What are these things?
0:46:55 > 0:46:58- They're shark vertebra. - I could believe that.- No!
0:46:58 > 0:47:01Oh, Miranda. Another dead animal.
0:47:01 > 0:47:07- So, we've got our telescope is one lot and that was...- 30.- £30.
0:47:07 > 0:47:08That's good!
0:47:08 > 0:47:12This might be our Achilles heel because all of these are one lot.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14- Yeah.- And they were £180.
0:47:14 > 0:47:15- Really?- Yes.
0:47:15 > 0:47:21Then this little lot, which was the plane, a lovely little cow...
0:47:21 > 0:47:25- Is that coal painted bronze?- No, no, no. No, it's cow's hide on wood.
0:47:27 > 0:47:28- What?- Spooky!- Yeah.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30- It's cow's hide on wood. - Really?- Yeah.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35- So we bought this as a little desk lot...- OK, it's a bit quirky.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38- Look at her smile! - She's missing a front hoof.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40OK, don't get picky!
0:47:40 > 0:47:41This was £30, this lot.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44- That's £30 in all?! - Yeah. So that's a profit.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47So it's just a sort of...nice decorative lot?
0:47:47 > 0:47:49This, I thought was lovely. This is the...
0:47:50 > 0:47:52It's part of a campaign chest.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55We thought it would make a nice coffee table. 40 quid.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57And then our last lot, James, is this here.
0:47:57 > 0:47:58Just come round the front, look.
0:47:58 > 0:48:02- Look at the detail!- Let's see. Let's see. Oh, lovely.
0:48:02 > 0:48:03It's a thing of great beauty, isn't it?
0:48:03 > 0:48:07- And, you know...- Solid. - So well made.- 120 quid.
0:48:08 > 0:48:09120 quid?
0:48:09 > 0:48:12That's great, but when you spend money,
0:48:12 > 0:48:13you get more hinges, don't you?
0:48:13 > 0:48:16Never seen so many hinges!
0:48:16 > 0:48:19- We've brought colour. - And we've bought class!
0:48:19 > 0:48:23- MIRANDA:- We've brought comedy... - To an otherwise drab world.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26Anyway, I think we've all done very well, don't you?
0:48:26 > 0:48:27Don't have anything more to do.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30Actually, my eyes are a little bit sore!
0:48:30 > 0:48:32Now, what do you really think?
0:48:32 > 0:48:34- Well, the fruit bowl... - Do you know what?
0:48:34 > 0:48:38Everybody in life, sometimes you have a blindspot moment.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42And I think that is James' blindspot moment. I mean, it's awful!
0:48:42 > 0:48:45I think Philip really likes the little table.
0:48:45 > 0:48:46He was really taken by the table
0:48:46 > 0:48:48and that gave me a lot of confidence in the table.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50I'm worried. They didn't spend all their money.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53I think you're spot on and that could be a problem for us.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55- Yes. But I don't care. We love our stuff.- Have you enjoyed it?
0:48:55 > 0:48:58- I've had tremendous fun.- Come on.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02- Best of luck to them.- Yeah. - Are we still in scrumping country?
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Oh, yeah. Shall we go for a pint, then?
0:49:05 > 0:49:09After setting off from Yeovil, our celebrities and experts are making
0:49:09 > 0:49:13their way to Clevedon near Bristol for this road trip's main event.
0:49:15 > 0:49:19- Glorious.- It is.- It's amazing. - Ah, yeah, this is more like it.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22This is the calm before the storm, though, isn't it?
0:49:22 > 0:49:24Yeah, the auction. Dun, dun, DUN!
0:49:24 > 0:49:27- How are you feeling? - Er, apprehensive.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30Phil's been wonderful, but I've got quite an emotional attachment
0:49:30 > 0:49:31to the things we've bought now.
0:49:31 > 0:49:35- So I'm...- Right, I don't have an emotional attachment...
0:49:35 > 0:49:37To the fruit bowl! Come on, you do!
0:49:37 > 0:49:39I make no apologies for the fruit bowl.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41We'll soon see.
0:49:41 > 0:49:42- Here they are!- Oh, hello!
0:49:42 > 0:49:47- How are you? Are you well?- I'm all right.- Good.- Yeah, slightly...
0:49:47 > 0:49:49Don't be nervous! Don't be silly!
0:49:49 > 0:49:51To the victor, the spoils.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54I wonder what auctioneer Mark Burrage
0:49:54 > 0:49:56makes of our teams' little collection.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59The coffer's nice. A good, clean, honest example.
0:49:59 > 0:50:05Early 18th-century, so we should be looking, I think, £150-200 bracket.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08I really like this washstand. It's unusual.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11Can't remember seeing one with the lift-up lid
0:50:11 > 0:50:14fitted with the basin and the jug underneath.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16I think between £100 and £200 today.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19Generally, brown furniture is quite difficult to sell,
0:50:19 > 0:50:23but today with the two items - the washstand and the coffer -
0:50:23 > 0:50:26I think they'll both buck the trend today and sell reasonably well.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29Maggie and Phil were the big spenders,
0:50:29 > 0:50:32parting with all £400 on five lots.
0:50:33 > 0:50:38While Miranda and James spent a mere £174 also on five lots.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Brace yourselves. It's time for the auction.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46OK. Let battle commence!
0:50:46 > 0:50:49Bring it on!
0:50:49 > 0:50:53Oh, fighting talk! First up, James and Miranda's kitsch bowl of fruit.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55That fruit bowl's going to make some money.
0:50:55 > 0:50:56I still had nothing to do with it.
0:50:56 > 0:51:00If it makes £100, I still had nothing to do with it.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03Commission bid here. I've got £5.
0:51:03 > 0:51:04- And 8. Now £8.- 8!
0:51:04 > 0:51:07- Profit!- 10 here. 12 now.
0:51:07 > 0:51:0812 now. £12. 12 bid.
0:51:08 > 0:51:1015 with me.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12I'm selling on the £15 then.
0:51:13 > 0:51:17Amazing! That is amazing. That put a smile on my face.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20And a big, smug grin on James'.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22What a great way to start.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25Ooh... I'm getting butterflies!
0:51:25 > 0:51:26Catch your tummy.
0:51:26 > 0:51:29- You do get a bit nervous, don't you? - Yeah!- Absolutely.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31It's very exciting.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33Now Maggie's telescope.
0:51:33 > 0:51:38- 30, I'm bid. 35. 35. 35, at 40 and 5...- Phew!
0:51:38 > 0:51:40Once more. 5. 50.
0:51:40 > 0:51:4150, 50, I'm bid.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44With me at £50 then.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47- Well done.- That's 50 quid. Well done, Maggie.
0:51:47 > 0:51:48That's excellent.
0:51:48 > 0:51:52Well done, Maggie. Great find, great profit.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54- That was really exciting! - This is a battle now.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57- No.- Yeah.- All right.
0:51:58 > 0:52:02Miranda's boxed shove ha'penny next.
0:52:02 > 0:52:07I have £20 to start. 22, 25, 28, 30, 32 now.
0:52:07 > 0:52:0932 in the room. 35.
0:52:09 > 0:52:1235 here. 8. 8 now. 40.
0:52:12 > 0:52:1640 here. 2. Bid's in the room then. Selling at £42.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19- Thank you.- Very decent.
0:52:19 > 0:52:20Yeah, that's all right, isn't it?
0:52:20 > 0:52:23I would say that's more than working profit.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26That's almost vulgar profit.
0:52:26 > 0:52:27It is.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30More than doubled your money.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33Yeah. Beat that one.
0:52:33 > 0:52:34Over to you!
0:52:34 > 0:52:37- Ooh, the rivalry! - A ding-dong battle.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40Three items make up this next lot for Maggie and Philip.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42It's their gentleman's desktop collection.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44Just have a look at that smile,
0:52:44 > 0:52:46because it won't be there for very much longer.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Appreciate it now.

0:53:15 > 0:53:17Aren't they doing well?
0:53:17 > 0:53:20You know what the best part about it was?
0:53:20 > 0:53:22The way that smile just went...
0:53:22 > 0:53:24- Couldn't believe it.- Slipping down.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27James had to convince Miranda to buy the lamp table.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30It's next to go under the gavel. Can it make a profit?
0:53:30 > 0:53:3430, I am bid. 35 now. 35?

0:53:45 > 0:53:46Commission buyer.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48- James, that was cheap. - That was quite cheap.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51Doesn't matter. Still a profit.
0:53:51 > 0:53:52Doubled your money again.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57- I thought that would get more. - Do you know what, Maggie?
0:53:57 > 0:54:00- That's so sad...- I am gutted.
0:54:00 > 0:54:04- He said that so sincerely(!) - So, so sad!
0:54:04 > 0:54:07- I'll wipe a tear. - Don't listen to them!
0:54:07 > 0:54:10Next up, Maggie's find - the campaign chest.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13I have £40 to start. 45? 45?

0:54:21 > 0:54:2365, well done.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26Well done, Maggie. Another healthy profit.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28You got away with that one.

0:54:55 > 0:54:58- SHE LAUGHS - Going to get silly now.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01Miranda! Don't blame you, though. Great profit.
0:55:01 > 0:55:06I would say, using naval parlance, we have caught the wind.
0:55:06 > 0:55:10- You've got what? - We've caught the wind.- Oh, sorry!
0:55:10 > 0:55:13I wasn't too sure...
0:55:13 > 0:55:17Next up, Maggie and Phil's gamble buy. Can the sticks make a return?
0:55:17 > 0:55:21I have again commission bids here at 110.

0:55:34 > 0:55:37All done then at £180.
0:55:38 > 0:55:42I'm afraid that will be a small loss after auction costs are deducted.
0:55:42 > 0:55:45- Have we saved the best till last? I don't know.- I think we have.
0:55:45 > 0:55:47- I think we have. - I think you have. I think you have.
0:55:47 > 0:55:51James and Miranda splashed out £100 on this Victorian wash basin.
0:55:51 > 0:55:54It was their one big buy.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56Five, six, seven commission bids.
0:55:56 > 0:55:58That's a good start!
0:55:58 > 0:56:03So working through them, we'll go 80, 90, 100. 110, 120, 130.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05140, 150, 160.

0:56:19 > 0:56:22Really well done. That is really well done.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25Well done! Look at that - a fantastic profit.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28- It's done really, really well, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:56:28 > 0:56:29Yeah, it's a nice item!
0:56:29 > 0:56:32Sad, isn't it? It's gutting.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34All is not lost!
0:56:34 > 0:56:37Maggie knocked over £100 off the asking price of the coffer.
0:56:37 > 0:56:41There's every chance this last lot could win the game.

0:56:57 > 0:57:01210, 210, 210? With me, on the book, against you all in the room.
0:57:01 > 0:57:04Make no mistake - selling on £200.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06- Commission buy!- Well done. Well done.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08That's amazing. Look at his face!
0:57:08 > 0:57:10- I love his face.- Well done.
0:57:10 > 0:57:12And a profit to end the day.
0:57:12 > 0:57:14But is it enough?
0:57:14 > 0:57:18- It's going to be very close. - Is it?- Profits all round.
0:57:18 > 0:57:21- Yeah. Well done!- Will we break even? - Let's go outside and work it out.
0:57:21 > 0:57:23Come on, let's go. Well done.
0:57:23 > 0:57:25I'm intrigued!
0:57:25 > 0:57:28I've got no idea.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30Maggie and Phil started out with £400 and made -
0:57:30 > 0:57:36after paying auction house costs - a respectable profit of £71.50.
0:57:38 > 0:57:41While Miranda and James also began with £400.
0:57:41 > 0:57:48After all fees were paid, they made a rather wonderful profit of £135.14.
0:57:48 > 0:57:50All profits go to Children in Need.
0:57:52 > 0:57:54- Do we know who won? - I have the numbers.
0:57:54 > 0:57:57- You have the numbers? - It's close, is it?
0:57:57 > 0:58:00- Oh, dear!- Just trying to build the tension.- It's working!
0:58:00 > 0:58:02You have made about £135,
0:58:02 > 0:58:04however, we...
0:58:04 > 0:58:06Look at the smug faces.
0:58:06 > 0:58:08..have made about 70 quid.
0:58:08 > 0:58:10Hooray!
0:58:10 > 0:58:13So we are the winners. Well done.
0:58:13 > 0:58:15Well done to both teams.
0:58:15 > 0:58:18It was so much fun! Thank you.

0:58:19 > 0:58:21- Right.- Off we go, girl.
0:58:24 > 0:58:26Bye!
0:58:28 > 0:58:31I've never experienced anything like that.
0:58:31 > 0:58:33- So out of my comfort zone, but so much fun.- Absolutely.
0:58:33 > 0:58:36Out of our comfort zones, but so much fun.
