0:00:02 > 0:00:04- The nation's favourite celebrities... - Got some proper bling here.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06..paired up with an expert...
0:00:06 > 0:00:07What? What?
0:00:07 > 0:00:09..and a classic car.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Put your hands up, girls!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Their mission - to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16- CRACKING - All breakages must be paid for.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18This is a good find, is it not?
0:00:18 > 0:00:21The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction...
0:00:21 > 0:00:23but it's no easy ride.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Who will find a hidden gem?
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Who 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 > 0:00:35There'll be worthy winners....
0:00:35 > 0:00:37This is better than Christmas!
0:00:37 > 0:00:39..and valiant losers.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Time to put your pedal to the metal,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45this is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Yeah!
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Welcome to a rocking good trip in the company of a couple of music icons.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- I just like being on the road, don't you?- I do actually.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00It's just the feeling of freedom.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- It's not the destination so much as the journey.- Yeah.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Today's celebrities are Johnnie Walker and Bob Harris,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10esteemed DJs and friends who, between them,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13have been spinning records for almost a century.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15How groovy's that?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- You know what this reminds me of a lot?- What?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23When I first joined you on Radio 1, John Peel and I used to go off
0:01:23 > 0:01:27on trips round local junk shops and...
0:01:27 > 0:01:30looking for second-hand records.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Meeting their heroes has certainly got antiques experts David Harper
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and Phil Serrell giddy with excitement.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40We're seeing these guys today, I mean, they're musical legends.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- Truly, truly, yeah.- Had influence on our taste.- Completely.- Yeah.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48These two super fans are driving a 1957 Ford Zephyr
0:01:48 > 0:01:51which dates from a time before seat belts were mandatory.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Uber cool.- So cool it's unbelievable.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Are they really going to be as cool as they seem in real life?
0:01:57 > 0:01:58- This is going to be interesting. - Cooler.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00He may be right, you know.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Johnnie was a budding racing driver
0:02:04 > 0:02:07before he began rocking the boat as a pirate DJ.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09'Johnnie Walker!'
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I think it's very important to have a personality.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14People want to hear somebody in the studio playing records
0:02:14 > 0:02:15and reacting to them.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20He eventually came back on dry land to join BBC Radio 1
0:02:20 > 0:02:23but he's been a bit of a rebel his entire career,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27always championing good music over playlists and formats.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30My older brother used to collect all these 78s,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33he'd forbid me from playing them when he was out.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- He had Singing The Blues by Guy Mitchell.- Right.- And I sat on it.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Sat on it. Broke into bits. - It broke!
0:02:39 > 0:02:44Bob played his very first Radio 1 record just over 45 years ago,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47although he soon became much better known as the face
0:02:47 > 0:02:50and voice of the ground-breaking Old Grey Whistle Test.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Oh, that was terrific.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58His intimate style earning him the nickname Whispering Bob.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Now that's heavy.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01So, who do you want to work with?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05I'm fascinated with the pirate radio of the 1960s, what about you?
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Well, see, for me, the Old Grey Whistle Test was just, you know.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I love the pirate thing, you love the Grey Whistle Test.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Shall we do that?- Let's do it.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19As well as their biggest fans, our celebrities will each have £400.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- How are you?- Hello.- Great to meet you. Very good to meet you.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- What do you think about this? - This is really nice.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- I think it's beautiful.- But that, actually, that's the coolest motor.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Given Philip's slim stature...- Yeah.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- ..you might be more comfortable in that one.- I need a transit!
0:03:35 > 0:03:36THEY LAUGH
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- So we've got the cool car. - We've got the cool car.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Yeah, we'll rock it in here while you two go...
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Johnnie and David grab the MGB GT and Bob and Phil the Zephyr
0:03:47 > 0:03:49and once they've got past the autographs,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I'm sure there'll be a lot of serious talk about tactics.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57When this comes out you're going to phone up Elton, Robert, you know...
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- And get them watching!- ..Macca.- They watch anyway.- Oh, good, excellent.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Naughty!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Today's trip starts in Crewkerne, Somerset
0:04:06 > 0:04:08and takes a rock'n'roll ramble around the southwest
0:04:08 > 0:04:13before arriving at an auction in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Back in 1700, this delightful town was the birthplace of Joshua Fry,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20the American soldier and adventurer who,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23along with Thomas Jefferson's father,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26was responsible for the first mapping of Virginia.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Now, rock legends first.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34- It's huge.- I know.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37How do you feel knowing that you've got to buy some stuff?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Does it make you feel a bit, "Oh, what am I going to do?"- Yeah.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Good, we're in the same boat, then!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Just relax. Take it all in.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50John Peel used to have these in the studio, you know,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- called his show the perfume garden. - No, did he?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Always had candles in the studio
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- and a few joss sticks burning for that effect.- Oh, wow!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- We're not going to buy any of those, are we?- We're not, no.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Hey, man, peace.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Now enter Bob and Phil.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05We need something that says Bob Harris, don't we?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Sounds like a plan to me.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08I like old signs.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12I was producing an album by a guy called John Golding in the '70s
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and when it was completed, to thank me, he bought me
0:05:15 > 0:05:19this big ticket sign which I've got outside my, er, my studio.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- So anything that's kind of like that but vintage.- I think that's new.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25If you look there...
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Can you just see that that bit of cast is still in the hole?- Yes.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32If that's been screwed to something that would've been knocked off.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- That is absolutely right.- Well, that's a pity, isn't it?- It is.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Meanwhile, the others are busy sorting out strategy.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Just have to knock them down a bit. - Are you experienced with that?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Well, the car salesman years could come in handy, you see.- Of course.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46And then I got the chance to go on the pirate ships.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49The garage manager, he said, "You must decide.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- "Are you going to be a proper car salesman or a disc jockey?"- Ooh.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55"I'll give you two weeks to think about it."
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I said, "I don't need two weeks, I'll give you the answer now."
0:05:58 > 0:06:00He said, What's that?" "I'll be a DJ, thanks very much."
0:06:00 > 0:06:03So far, they're not looking at much but that might be about to change.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Do you know what it is?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It's a cartridge case which my original assumption
0:06:08 > 0:06:10would be that this is for cassettes.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14No, no, I can tell you now if you were a big country land owner,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18massive estate, shooting hundreds and hundreds of pheasants,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22you would arrive on the day with a case like this
0:06:22 > 0:06:23to put your cartridges in.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- OK.- You put your cartridges in there like that.- Right.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29And then as the day went on, you pull that leather up
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- and it brings the cartridges to the top.- Wow!
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Now, there's a big but with this, OK?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- In all these things, condition is imperative.- Yeah.- OK?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40This has been repaired along there...
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- it's got new corners on it.- Yes.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- And these straps aren't quite as old as me.- No, quite!- Right?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48If you look really, really closely at this,
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- look at the stitching there.- Yeah. - And look at that stitching there.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53- Completely different.- Yeah.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56In perfect nick, without any problems or faults,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- these things are worth 300-500... - Right.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- ..£400-600.- Right. - Massively collectable.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07This has got quite an expensive tag on it anyway at £160.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Well, we might be able to do a lot, lot better than that.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11- Do you really think so?- Yeah, I do.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15There's a great thing in this business about upcycling
0:07:15 > 0:07:17and I'm just wondering if we can turn
0:07:17 > 0:07:21an Edwardian leather cartridge case
0:07:21 > 0:07:25into the Bob Harris bespoke cassette holder.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Cassette holder, that would be good, wouldn't it?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Let's consult our shopkeeper, Anthony.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31At auction, I think that's going to make 80 to 120,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33which is half the price you've got on it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Mm.- Is there going to be any room for negotiation?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I can certainly contact the trader. I can't halve the price
0:07:38 > 0:07:41but that's probably what he paid for it at auction in the first place.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44If you can find out what the very best is, tell him we've got
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- a musical legend here.- A musical legend, yes.- A musical legend here.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Strangely, our other legend has his eye on something similar.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- Are you into shooting?- Yeah, I am. - Are you?- Yeah.- That is a good label.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- "The Right Honourable Lord Raglan." - Yeah.- Wow.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04That's the original ticket, isn't it? "Pall Mall, SW1."
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Yes, it is.- A lot of money though. - How much?- 140.- 140.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Yeah, but you said you were brilliant at negotiating,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I'm absolutely confident that you will get that,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16harking back to your wheeler dealer days, for a song.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Get it?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- What sort of shooting do you do? - Clays.- Right.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- Don't like killing anything.- No.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- You any good? - Yeah, I have my moments.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- I was on one trap, when the clays go away from you...- Yeah.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32..and I was borrowing my friend's gun and we were just having a go.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36And I go, "Pull." Blew the first one out.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38"Pull." Second. Third.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41By the fifth and sixth, I hadn't missed yet.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43There's people standing behind me thinking,
0:08:43 > 0:08:47"Who the hell's this geezer?" I got ten out of ten. My God.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Impressive!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- What do you know about Lord Raglan, anything?- I don't know.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I'd like to know more about him. He must be a local guy.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Could it be THE Lord Raglan -
0:08:56 > 0:09:00the man who ordered the Charge of the Light Brigade? Time to talk to Tina.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05- I'm slightly drawn to this.- Right. - Not in a big way.- OK.- Yeah.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Would you like me to ring the dealer,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- see if I can get any more information?- Yeah, why not?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- And a price, a best trade price. - A best trade price.- Yeah, please.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Meanwhile, we're still a-waiting news
0:09:13 > 0:09:16on the Bob Harris bespoke cassette case.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17Fancy anything else?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- What I collect is buses.- Buses?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Toy buses.- Toy buses? - Yeah, Dinkys...- And you love those?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27..tin toys. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I've still got some of the buses that I bought as a child.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- So if we can find some toy buses, that's us.- Oh, I'm there.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Ah, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Do you like those?
0:09:38 > 0:09:39The Routemasters - not very nice,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42but the two in the box at the back there...
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Are they nice, are they?
0:09:43 > 0:09:48The Original Omnibus Company buses, those two are sweet.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50But, I mean, I just like them,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52but I don't think they're of any value particularly.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I think if they went in an auction,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57they'd probably get less than the ticket price there, to be honest.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Oh, well. Tina's spoken to the chap who owns the gun case
0:10:01 > 0:10:03and he's come down to £100,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06but Johnnie's keen to exercise his car salesman skills.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08His name's Gordon Smith.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Gordon.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11How are you?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16I'm kind of drawn to, you know, I love the number nine.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18So I've got 90 sort of in my mind.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21You've gone very quiet there, Gordon.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Yeah.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25(95. It's 45 quid off.)
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- I do like it, I must say.- Yeah. - I do like it.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30We'll go for it, Gordon.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I think they're GUNNA go for it.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Now, anyone not on the phone?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Tina, point us in the direction of a living antiques dealer.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40There's a lady here, her name's Jane, down the bottom.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Right, Jane, we're coming to get you!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44It's all happening.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Let's go and get Jane. Hello, Jane. I'm David, nice to meet you.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49- Hello, Jane. I'm Johnnie. - How do you do?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- So, Jane, what do you know about Scamp there?- Not very much at all.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- I think it's a pastel.- Yeah.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- So it's not a print? - I don't think so.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- He's quite a little character, isn't he?- What a great name- Scamp.- Yeah.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- How much is he?- It's gotta be worth a fiver, isn't it?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06The ticket price, however, is eight.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Seven quid would do it nicely.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10You said a fiver a moment ago, he keeps going up.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- I'm going up two quid. - Seven sounds good to me.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Unbelievable!- Yeah.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Have we bought it? - Er, I think we have.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I think we have.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23So it seems. Jane has something else, too.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28That is something I could put out for you quite reasonably.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31In other words you want to get rid of it. It's been around a long time.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- No, I've only just brought it in, actually.- Hmm!
0:11:33 > 0:11:34It's a bit of a lump.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Yeah.- Needs rewiring which would be 100 quid.- Made out of?- Brass.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41No label on it yet, you haven't priced it up yet.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- Date-wise, Johnnie, I'm guessing that's mid-20th century.- Yeah.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- So it looks like it's a 17th century piece...- Yeah.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50..it's a reproduction.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- Was it a good weight? - It's very heavy.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Yeah, sounds like he's introducing a record.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58If you used your fantastic negotiating skills,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I reckon we'd bag that at a bargain. Over to you.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Over to me. Starting about 12 quid?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Er...
0:12:06 > 0:12:07- Say 15.- 15?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Could do 15.- You reckon?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- You've got to give me secret signals here, mate.- OK, OK.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18OK, well, I'll have that, thanks. So we'll take that and Scamp.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- Brilliant! Brilliant!- OK. - Johnnie, we're proper dealers...
0:12:22 > 0:12:25You're not supposed to be shaking each other's hands.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Jane, thank you.- Thank you very much, Jane.- This is more like it.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Let's fill the MG up!
0:12:30 > 0:12:35After a slowish start, they've got three in the bag for £117.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- £3 change there.- Thank you very much.- Thank you, Tina.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Now, viewers with a keen memory may recall that the ticket price
0:12:40 > 0:12:43on this was £160.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I have had a chat with him since we spoke earlier
0:12:46 > 0:12:50and he said 120 would be, you know, round about his bottom.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- It's a round-about bit. - Yeah, that's...
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Can you do any round-about bit...?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Can we meet you halfway?- At?- 100.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- 100 feels right to me if that's... - OK, all right. I mean, I...
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Between us, we have that leeway so, yes, I can do that.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- You happy with that?- I think we're there, aren't we?- Yeah, I mean.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Sorry, I was a bit quick.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Ha! There's a whole lot of shaking going wrong this morning, you know.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- The deal is done.- That's fabulous. I've even got some money for you.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Oh, do you?- Pay the man.- Yeah.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- I think we've done well with that. - I think this is pretty good.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30And out on the long and winding road are rivals Johnnie and David.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34The swinging '60s was definitely true,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36but I missed two thirds of it because I was out on the boat
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- on the North Sea.- Of course, bobbing about in the ocean!
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Yeah, but we made up for it on our week on shore.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Clubs like the Bag O' Nails
0:13:43 > 0:13:47and the Cromwellian Club where you'd see the Beatles and Clapton
0:13:47 > 0:13:50and people just used to go there and hang out together.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51It was a really great scene.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Those two are taking a bit of a break from the shops
0:13:56 > 0:13:59and tootling from Crewkerne to Sparkford.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Radio 1 DJs, people like Gary Davies and Bruno Brookes,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- were all having their Porsches and stuff.- Yeah, yeah.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08So I bought a Citroen 2CV.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Well, our fans of cool cars should have a fine old time
0:14:13 > 0:14:16at our next destination where they've come to find out more
0:14:16 > 0:14:19about a diminutive British beauty.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Good bit of driving there, Johnnie. - Thank you.- Hello, Johnnie.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- How very nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Welcome both of you to the Haynes International Motor Museum.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28If you'd like to come with me.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34The Haynes Company made their name
0:14:34 > 0:14:37with their trademark Owners Workshop Manuals
0:14:37 > 0:14:40and opened this fine collection in 1985.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43But that is one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48Indeed. But they've come to find out how the evolution of the small car
0:14:48 > 0:14:51changed motoring and gave birth to a British icon.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Our story starts with this quirky classic.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- I'm sure you probably know what it is.- Messerschmitt.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00It is a Messerschmitt. It's a Kabineroller 200,
0:15:00 > 0:15:05a KR 200 and just in case you were going to ask, it's got...
0:15:05 > 0:15:09No parts from this car have come from a Messerschmitt plane.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Cos the canopy looks like... - It does.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14It does, it's the same Messerschmitt, it's the same company
0:15:14 > 0:15:17that during the Second World War made all the fighter planes.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Based on an invalid carriage,
0:15:19 > 0:15:23the keenly priced Kabineroller was an immediate hit,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25thanks in part to world events.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Is this a result of the Suez fuel crisis, 1956?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Yes, oil and then petrol, of course, was in very short supply
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- and we were looking at rationing again.- Right.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39You know, relatively soon after the Second World War
0:15:39 > 0:15:42and so onto the market from the Continent,
0:15:42 > 0:15:46from countries like Germany and Italy came these very small cars
0:15:46 > 0:15:50which were essentially driven with motorcycle engines
0:15:50 > 0:15:54and because of that a lot of them didn't have a reverse gear
0:15:54 > 0:15:57but also you didn't need car tax to drive it,
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- you didn't need a car licence. - So I guess in a way
0:15:59 > 0:16:02that is the forerunner of the Smart car we know today.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Yeah.- It is.- And, of course, there's one just there.- Right.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- Mr Walker, would you like to try it? - Please do.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Now, this is before health and safety
0:16:09 > 0:16:12so if I can just keep my hand over that rather than...
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Just kick him in. - I'd never drive one on the road.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Can we squeeze David in too?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- Ooh, hello. Are you all right? - Don't worry, it's fine.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Right...- It's supposed to do that.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- It's even got more room than our little MGB GT.- Yes.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- You've got enough air for about 30 seconds.- OK.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31But the windows are open anyway so there you are,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34this is the full micro car, the bubble car experience.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41The British Motor Corporation soon decided that they too
0:16:41 > 0:16:43could make a little 'un.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47One that was capable of carrying four adults and their luggage
0:16:47 > 0:16:51and in 1959 their top designer came up with a Mini.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Alec Issigonis, he was given a very tight brief.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59He had to produce a car that could fit in a box no longer
0:16:59 > 0:17:03than 10ft, no wider than four and no taller than four.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06The biggest thing that he did was turn the engine sideways.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Yes, transverse.- Yes.- Why?- Which had never, ever been done before.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15- To save space.- So everything about this car is designed to save space.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- And a very revolutionary constant velocity joint.- Yes.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Oh, that was...! Are you called Malcolm?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I thought we were just going to talk about music!
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Thanks to its enormous influence on car design,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Alec Issigonis's Austin Power-ed classic
0:17:30 > 0:17:33has been voted second only to the Model T.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36This car when it first came on the road was actually called
0:17:36 > 0:17:40wizardry on wheels because everything in it was so clever.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Now, Johnnie, do you remember the day the Mini was released?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I do, I remember all the newspaper headlines.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49It was a really big thing because it was such a revolutionary car
0:17:49 > 0:17:52that nobody had ever made a car that was that small.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53I mean, we've seen bubble cars,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55hardly you can't really call it a car,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58you know, you need a wheel at each corner.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Yes, and unlike its continental forerunners,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02the Mini, with its nimble handling,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05would dominate motorsport in the '60s.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- I mean, you could drive them really fast, couldn't you?- Yes, you could.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- Look at Paddy Hopkirk, Monte Carlo rally.- Absolutely. Several wins.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Sporting chic, bags of swinging endorsement
0:18:17 > 0:18:21and even a starring role in a movie - it's no wonder the humble Mini
0:18:21 > 0:18:23became a style icon
0:18:23 > 0:18:26as well as one of the bestselling British cars in history.
0:18:26 > 0:18:33So, if I was to say that I had the keys to a 1965 Mini Deluxe outside.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Thank you very much, Matt. - You're very welcome.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38It's a lovely present, we really do appreciate it.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Thanks a lot, mate.- I hope the trustees aren't watching.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Johnnie, go for it. Yeah, great seeing you, Matt.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- We'll see you again sometime. - Yeah, cheers, Matt.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Do bring the car back.- Yeah, bye!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Shall we have it?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Let's leave the MG. Yeah, happy? - Yeah.- Good.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Yeah, bye!- Bye!
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- DAVID LAUGHS - We've got a little Mini.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I hope they're joking.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Meanwhile Bob and Phil are on their own journey through the past.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05My dad had a Zephyr
0:19:05 > 0:19:10and the thing I loved, I remember at the time, about this car
0:19:10 > 0:19:13was the Americanisation of it that little bit.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16You know, with the fins, you've got a bit of chrome on it,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18the style, the two-tone.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Yeah, Whitewall tyres. - Yeah, beautiful car.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27These two are making their own sweet way to their next shop.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30The Dorset village of Yetminster was home to
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Benjamin Jesty in the 18th century, a local farmer who
0:19:33 > 0:19:38administered the world's first recorded smallpox vaccination.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- Hello, there.- Hi, Philip.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43We've got Whispering Bob Harris and Miserable Phil Serrell.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49On the Dorset leg of their world tour, complete with bus.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- I like the sign up there. - I love the sign up there.- Nice.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57- Could you carry that off? - I don't think so, do you?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- They are always too small. - They are, aren't they?
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Suits you, sir.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Ah!- Also promising.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04What do you think about this?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Yeah, clarinet, could you play that?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- No, no, I couldn't. - Are you sure? I couldn't either.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- I wouldn't even know how to put it together.- That might make two of us.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15The greatest exponent of this for me was Acker Bilk.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Stranger On The Shore.- Yeah.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Ah, yes, the clarinet classic.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22It's interesting because you can get really good versions of these
0:20:22 > 0:20:26that are quite old, but this is plastic and it's made in China.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Oh, is it? Oh, it's still quite... It's substantial, isn't it?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I wouldn't rule this out at all.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- I like the musical theme for you. - Yeah.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Well, it's £30.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39It'll be almost embarrassing to try and get some discount on that,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41won't it? We'll give it a go.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43You could always threaten to play it, Phil.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48I've just noticed, Phil, this rather lovely picnic set.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- We could have that in the Zephyr. - We could have that in the Zephyr!
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- It's the same colour scheme. - It is, isn't it?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55What, every colour scheme?!
0:20:55 > 0:20:58The first thing to do with these is check
0:20:58 > 0:21:00that the old Thermos is still...
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Oh, look at those. That's all there, look.- Yeah.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Oh, yeah. It looks as if it's hardly ever been used.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Joking apart, we've got the Zephyr.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12You know, there are people who collect classic cars
0:21:12 > 0:21:13and this is a great thing to put in the boot
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- if you're going out for your day in your classic car...- Absolutely.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19You know, take your tartan rug with you and picnic set.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21That's good.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Look, Sirram.- Yeah.- Sirram.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Yeah.- You're pretty much sure
0:21:26 > 0:21:28this would be the original cup and saucers for it, which is nice.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Will it be both items?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32However much I like the clarinet,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35to me, this has got a much greater potential.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Shall I leave the clarinet there? - I think so, yeah.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41So this is now a number one possibility.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43It's getting there, isn't it, yeah.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Somehow I think those two will be doing quite
0:21:45 > 0:21:47a bit of business in here.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Actually, I must say, it rather suits you, yeah.- Toulouse Serrell?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Please don't encourage him, Bob.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54This is rather nice, look.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Oh, look.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- This is a fly-fishing box with flies.- I think that's lovely.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Oh, it's beautiful, isn't it?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06When would you say this was manufactured?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I would think that's probably 1920s.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11It's that great British field sports age.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16It's got a second little compartment here as well.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19"Crawford McFall. April."
0:22:19 > 0:22:21This is telling you the flies.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24These are all the names of the flies. So you've got a Dark Olive,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26a Gold Nibbled Hare's Ear. How does that grab you?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29You know, I really would love to get this.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- I would as well. - I think this has got potential.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34How much is it? 140 quid. Whoa!
0:22:34 > 0:22:36That is quite expensive, isn't it, £140.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38That is casting your bread upon the water, that is, isn't it?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41We're going to Salisbury for the auction, that is
0:22:41 > 0:22:45a good sort of fishing area. I would kind of hope that it would work.
0:22:45 > 0:22:51If we could perhaps just try and put a group of things together.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52- So we've got this.- Yeah.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54We've got the picnic hamper.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56We could perhaps find something else.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58What though?
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Something old? Something grey?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02We've already said no to the whistle.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- I think it's probably from the '60s. - I would say.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09Not only can you drink from these cups, you can actually play them.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Well, sort of.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15You've got six cups, sugar bowl and milk jug.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19I think they are rather attractive. I don't know what it is about them.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21And the price... £40.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23That's, erm...
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I could imagine somebody at an auction
0:23:25 > 0:23:27really taking a fancy to these.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Portmeirion Pottery wasn't made in the famous
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Welsh tourist village, but it was sold there.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35The important thing is damage.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37And if you just run your fingers,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41very often, you know, fingers will feel damage before eyes see them.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- I don't think there's any damage to these at all.- That's a good tip.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Does that mean we might be talking to Mark soon?
0:23:48 > 0:23:53- We've got a £40 coffee set, we've got a £34 picnic set...- Yep.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56..and we've got a £140 fly box.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59In my eyes we've got to try and buy them
0:23:59 > 0:24:01for somewhere between, well, £80-100 if we can.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03That is the cold light of day.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Whether he will or not, I don't know.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- What, all of them together, you mean?- Yes.- Blimey.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Gird your loins.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12It would be lovely to buy them for somewhere between £80-90.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17If we bought them for 90, we've got to sell them for about 110-115
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- just to get our money back.- Yeah.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I've got 210 on sale.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25I can't really go that low, I'm afraid.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I couldn't see us going much over 100 quid for them, in truth.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- I'll do 110.- OK.- Yeah. - Yeah, all right, then.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- All right?- Yeah. You've got a deal. Good one, Mark.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43So that's £55 for the fly-fishing box, 30 for the Portmeirion
0:24:43 > 0:24:46and £25 for the picnic set. Not bad.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51And now approaching fast at the end of side one...
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Does it feel safe, Bob, with me driving?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- I do, Johnnie, yeah.- Are you sure? - Yeah, completely.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Why, are you going to scare me any minute?- I might just try.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03THEY LAUGH
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Night-night.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Next day, we're in Devon, down by the seaside, how lovely.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Look at that, Phil, the English Riviera, eh?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I know that Torquay is just seen as that
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- but it is something else really as well.- What is it?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- Basil!- Of course it is!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Later, they'll be making for that Wiltshire auction.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26But first, they're about to meet up in Torquay.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30So, Philip, when I first saw him, I thought,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33"There's a bit of an Elton John going on there."
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- So now I call him Rocket Man.- Yes!
0:25:36 > 0:25:40You are right, though. Put a piano in front of Phil.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42He could turn up and do gigs, couldn't he?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Nobody would know the difference.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Until he opened his mouth, presumably, Bob.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Fortunately he knows a bit about antiques though
0:25:49 > 0:25:54and together the two of them have spent £210 on a fly-fishing case,
0:25:54 > 0:25:58a picnic set, a leather cartridge case and coffee set.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Not only can you drink from these cups, you can actually play them.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Leaving them with just under £200 still to spend.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12While Johnnie and David have parted with £117 for a chandelier,
0:26:12 > 0:26:16a portrait of Scamp and a leather gun case...
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Are you any good? - Yeah, I have my moments.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22..meaning they have almost £300 at their disposal.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Right, are you off in yours and we're off in ours?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Yes, we seem to have wrong partners.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Bob, I'm going to deliver you over here.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Just over this way, Johnnie. There you are.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I'm driving today.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- I'm driving, right. - I like being chauffeur driven.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Well, well.- We're off, we're off.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Whoa!
0:26:42 > 0:26:46After that getaway, Johnnie and David are following the coast road.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Johnny, you're going to have to forgive me for quite possibly
0:26:49 > 0:26:53a stupid question, but is your name really Johnnie Walker?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57No, it's not. When I joined my first radio station, run by Americans,
0:26:57 > 0:27:01they brought a lot of jingles from their station in America
0:27:01 > 0:27:04and they said, "We want you to be called Johnnie Walker because
0:27:04 > 0:27:05"we've got a lot of jingles."
0:27:05 > 0:27:07I had a great one that goes
0:27:07 > 0:27:09# Johnnie Walker... #
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- So that was that, really. - Dare I ask what your real name is?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- Peter Dingley.- Peter Dingley's got a great cool ring to it.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Really?!- Yeah.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Whoever they are, they're heading for the delightful resort of Paignton.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- There we go.- After you.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Thank you.- Not that they've got time for a dip.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Hello, Pete.- Hello, Johnnie. - How are you?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- Nice to meet you. Very well, thank you. Peter.- David.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Really good to meet you.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36What have you got, then? Anything fantastic?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38We've got a treasure trove for you here.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40It's got to be cheap, mind.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Well, I'm sure a bit of the old charm would help with that, Johnnie.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- We want something special. - Something unusual.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Where is your special, unusual stuff, Peter?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Well, if you don't ask.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54What's your connection with cameras then?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56I've just always loved photography.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01You know, collected cameras over the years. Kodak Jr.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04What's nice about that is we've got the original case with that one.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Oh, the little leather pouch?
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Were you out and about in the '60s taking pictures of all the celebs?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Yeah, and I had a Nikkormat, which was like the poor man's Nikon.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15I used to take photographs at gigs
0:28:15 > 0:28:19and had a few photographs published in New Musical Express.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Tell me, how would that do in a auction, do you think?
0:28:22 > 0:28:23Not well.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28Because that brand, great brand, but they were the prolific makers.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30This was the camera for everybody.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33It is probably under £3, I'd guess, Peter.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37In which universe?!
0:28:37 > 0:28:40I'm not sure that went down well.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42I could do that for £15.
0:28:42 > 0:28:457.50 would be quite good, wouldn't it?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48It's so easy to make Peter laugh, isn't it?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Yes, exactly. Just hammer his prices, he loves it.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Or I'll cry, let's be honest.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- What did we get to?- 7.50. That's over double what you offered.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- He's offered over double what I offered.- We've doubled our offer.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- I can't believe we did that. - No, neither can Peter.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- We're getting close to being ejected here.- You are, yeah.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- Do you think?- Yeah.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11I tell you what might be interesting,
0:29:11 > 0:29:12you get closer to Peter.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Johnnie's offer was 7.50. - I can't do it.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19What could you do?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Because you're such a legend...
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Yeah.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28I suppose I could do it for 12.50.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31All right, then, 12 quid.
0:29:32 > 0:29:3412.50!
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- That's it.- You got to give him his 50p.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39I'm sure I can find 50p.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Shall we do that. Peter, I'm so sorry about Johnnie Walker.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47I think Peter's given them a very good deal there.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Quick, pay the man before he changes his mind.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Johnnie Walker, quickly!
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Jump in. I'll throw you the camera.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Meanwhile, with Whispering Bob and the Rocket Man,
0:30:05 > 0:30:07the grilling goes on.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Where does Whispering Bob come from?
0:30:10 > 0:30:13It was coined by a journalist, on Melody Maker,
0:30:13 > 0:30:15when I first started doing the Old Grey Whistle Test.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- Are you proud of it? - I am. It's distinctive, you know?
0:30:18 > 0:30:20- There are millions of Bobs in the world.- There is only
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- one Whispering Bob.- There are not many Whispering Bobs.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Only one Whispering Bob.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Those two are journeying towards Dartington
0:30:27 > 0:30:31where, in the 1920s, an American heiress began a revolution
0:30:31 > 0:30:33in both farming and education.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Philip, Bob,
0:30:36 > 0:30:40- welcome to Dartington. - And you are Celia.- I am Celia.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Celia, this is very special. - It's very beautiful, isn't it?
0:30:43 > 0:30:46This is the medieval courtyard, 15th century.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48But completely transformed by Dorothy Elmhirst.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Would you be kind enough to show us around?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- I'd love to.- OK.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Dorothy Whitney was fabulously wealthy and determined to
0:30:59 > 0:31:03spend her fortune on furthering the progressive causes she believed in.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07She met her second husband, Leonard, the farmer son
0:31:07 > 0:31:10of an English parson in 1919.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Together they established a centre for their ideas
0:31:13 > 0:31:15and moved to the Devon countryside.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19He realised there were different ways that you could do agriculture.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22There was something lacking in the British education system.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26She knew that the things needed to move on from Victoriana,
0:31:26 > 0:31:27if you like.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31So they then discover they had an opportunity together to make
0:31:31 > 0:31:34something very special and they came here to do it.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36What condition was the estate in when they got here?
0:31:36 > 0:31:41It was completely ruined. There was one farmer living here.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46The courtyard was a farmyard and they restored the building
0:31:46 > 0:31:48and added to it.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50If you want to come with me, I'll show you some of it.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Oh, yes, we really would.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55The couple spent millions over the next few years,
0:31:55 > 0:31:58providing a huge boost to the local economy.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00They set up farming and forestry products
0:32:00 > 0:32:04and in 1926 established a co-educational boarding school.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06What would it have been like
0:32:06 > 0:32:09building this up from the ground, really?
0:32:09 > 0:32:13It was a busy and building community
0:32:13 > 0:32:15of so many different kinds of people and interests.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17That is what they fostered.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20They started a new school because they knew that schooling
0:32:20 > 0:32:23methods that existed didn't work for all children.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25They just got on with it and
0:32:25 > 0:32:30started a school that transformed the way that we are all taught now.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33With no prefects, uniforms or punishment,
0:32:33 > 0:32:36the Dartington School was extremely advanced.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39The children here spent less time in the classroom
0:32:39 > 0:32:42and learnt instead whilst working on the estate.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46That belief that you could teach people of the future,
0:32:46 > 0:32:51that you could welcome the writers of the welfare state here to
0:32:51 > 0:32:56write the Labour Party manifesto in 1945, that you could mix
0:32:56 > 0:32:58work on the land with art.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01And all of those things melded together.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05The arts were at the core of the Dartington experiment.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Many outstanding figures were attracted to the hall.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12That influx was given greater impetus during the '30s and '40s.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Some of the most famous artists of the time came
0:33:16 > 0:33:20and inhabited rooms around the courtyard and did their work.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24In particular it attracted artists from Europe who are being
0:33:24 > 0:33:28persecuted prior to the Second World War.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32These were people who were dancers, painters, sculptors
0:33:32 > 0:33:34and they were welcomed in here by the Elmhirsts,
0:33:34 > 0:33:37but also by the local community.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41They brought with them a whole new way of being
0:33:41 > 0:33:44and that legacy lasts today.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Nowadays, Dartington is famous for its international summer school -
0:33:47 > 0:33:50a unique music event -
0:33:50 > 0:33:53as well as hosting several other educational programmes.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55They had a big vision,
0:33:55 > 0:33:59but I think they would have been surprised and largely impressed
0:33:59 > 0:34:01to see that, 40-odd years later,
0:34:01 > 0:34:05it was still doing so many of the things that they had started,
0:34:05 > 0:34:08still experimenting and still trying to be relevant,
0:34:08 > 0:34:11still trying to do things differently.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15The Elmhirsts' vision has become a charitable trust,
0:34:15 > 0:34:19specialising in the arts, sustainable agriculture and social justice.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22I think towards the end of their lives, they could also see
0:34:22 > 0:34:27that they had created something which might not be able to continue
0:34:27 > 0:34:29because it needed too much money.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33It needed too much of the money that Dorothy brought with her,
0:34:33 > 0:34:35which was now running out.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37That has been the constant challenge ever since,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40to maintain the legacy but to find a way to do it
0:34:40 > 0:34:45that will work for today and for future generations.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Now, this is the sort of place a pirate might warm to.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Johnnie and David have returned the route towards Torbay
0:34:58 > 0:35:01and the harbour town of Brixham, famed for fishing,
0:35:01 > 0:35:04smuggling and also an annual pirate festival.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08Probably very few of them as authentic as our Johnnie.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10David, I've got to say,
0:35:10 > 0:35:14I'm not feeling hugely confident in what we've got.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16I'm hoping this final shop,
0:35:16 > 0:35:18we're going to find something really special.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21You want to go for the killer object.
0:35:21 > 0:35:27Blimey, pirates lacking confidence, surely not.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- I love this.- I love that.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- It's very trendy.- Hello, John. - Hello, there.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- How are you?- I'm all right, fine. How are you?
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Very well indeed. - David Harper.- Hello, David.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41I'm liking the pirate scarf there.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42It's a nautical look.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Yes, the captain has plenty of cargo in here.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Johnnie, did you use telescopes on Radio Caroline?
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- No, we didn't. - Looking for girls on shore.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57No, they used to come out for us, we didn't need a telescope.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Hey, let's have a closer peek on the poop deck, eh?
0:36:00 > 0:36:03This is off the camera from when she was broken up.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- So these are the real thing? - These are the real thing.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09They've taken out the original glass that was in them
0:36:09 > 0:36:11and now made them into good quality mirrors.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- How many portholes were taken off? - God knows.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- I like the fact it is all about recycling.- Yeah.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- That is very eco-friendly.- Yes, people like that.- Yes, it's good.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25What worries me is the fact that we don't know how many
0:36:25 > 0:36:28are on the market. How long have you been selling them for?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30About two years.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- Does it open up as well? Is that what you're going to do?- Yeah.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Could a bit of ocean liner be the killer buy they're after?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40The ticket price however is £195.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43What is the trade in these?
0:36:43 > 0:36:47- The very best, seriously, 120.- Wow.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50What is the best, John?
0:36:50 > 0:36:54- It's going to break my heart, this. - We'll be gentle with you.- £90.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- OK.- Right.- Very best.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02Now, it's been a long time since we heard from their rivals.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04If you could have played in any band,
0:37:04 > 0:37:06which band would you have played in?
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- Oh, wow. Probably Led Zeppelin. - Really?- What would you have done?
0:37:10 > 0:37:11Guitar, drums?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Yeah, I would have replaced Jimmy Page.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- I would have been much better than him.- I have heard that.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Personally I'm more of a triangle or tambourine man myself.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- J Arthur Rank on gong. - Absolutely right.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Those two are breezing the Zephyr towards the coast
0:37:27 > 0:37:30for a last look-see around the antique shops of Paignton.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon. - You must be Richard.- I am.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- I'm Bob.- Hello, Bob. Nice to meet you.- Good to meet you.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- This is Philip.- Philip. How are you? - Hello, Philip.- Good to see you.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- And you.- This looks as new as a pin here. The shop, I mean.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Yeah, thankfully not the contents.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- What's the cheapest thing in the shop?- Cheapest thing in the shop?
0:37:49 > 0:37:54- Probably me.- Really?- Ha-ha! - I'm not sure that would be practical.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Anyway, Phil's spotted something a bit smaller.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59That's interesting, Bob, look.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Hasn't travelled far either.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05My mum had something very similar to this actually.
0:38:05 > 0:38:10- Everybody's mum had something similar.- Yeah.- That is Torquay ware.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14OK? So this is a mid-20th century equivalent of a stick of rock!
0:38:14 > 0:38:19- This is rather attractive.- I think this is really, really undervalued.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22I like the motto - may you live as long as you want,
0:38:22 > 0:38:24and never want as long as you live.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29- That'll do, won't it? - Or, as another famous Bob once sang,
0:38:29 > 0:38:31# May you stay forever young. #
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Meanwhile, back in Brixham...
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- What about an original gunpowder barrel?- Really?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41It's got the broad arrow on it.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Oh, he's got the military stamp on there, look.- MoD stamp.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48It's probably going to be about 1850.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51So, what would you do with that now? The natural thing to do...
0:38:51 > 0:38:54You could put a glass top on it.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Make it into a coffee table.- Yeah.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- I'm a massive fan of Hornblower books.- Yeah.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03I love all the stories about old, tall-masted sailing ships.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06And look at the name. What is this?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08The Fighting Temeraire Antique Shop, isn't it?
0:39:08 > 0:39:13- Temeraire means brave and foolhardy. There he is.- Yeah.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17- The ticket price is £160. - What sort of trade is that, John?
0:39:17 > 0:39:18£75.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20I like that.
0:39:20 > 0:39:21I really like that.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25- Yeah.- 19th century gunpowder barrel. It's got a lot going for it.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30- Yeah. That talks to me.- Time for John to make a tactical withdrawal,
0:39:30 > 0:39:32while they make up their minds.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34What I love about it is I think it's very rare.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38It would be a talking point and it'd be something special.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- I agree.- And what about the rag? Obviously, it is what it is.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Some people might think it's a bit scruffy.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47If it was me and I bought that, I'd remove the rag, polish it and glass
0:39:47 > 0:39:51top it, but I think into auction, it gives it authenticity, doesn't it?
0:39:51 > 0:39:52Yeah.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56I mean, when you look at those, they might be real from a ship,
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- but it just says repro really, doesn't it?- It does.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- So, do we want to try and knock him down?- A bit.- Yeah.- Just a bit.- Yeah.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Batten down the hatches, eh?
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- It's kind of between the porthole mirror and the barrel.- Right.
0:40:08 > 0:40:13- If I offered you £60 for the gun barrel...- I've got to get 70 for it.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14- Have you?- Yeah.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18- Do you like compromise?- 65, you're going to say?- Yeah.- No, I can't.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21This is where we walk out, pretend we're going to leave it.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Well, you've just given that one away.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- You might as well try it now, chaps. - Shall we give it a go?
0:40:26 > 0:40:27Come on, come on.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29See if he shouts us back.
0:40:29 > 0:40:30Come back!
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- It worked.- It worked!
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- I think he's going to compromise. - Let's do it. 65.- 65.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41- There you are. Proper job.- Thank you, John.- Nice work, everyone.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45- Now, is that it?- Hey, have you noticed these?- Aye-aye.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Warming pans, Johnnie. They used to sell well. 19th century.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51People used to hang them on the walls.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53They don't hang them on the walls any more.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56You fill them full of coals and stick them in your bed.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Exactly right, but not really needed these days, eh?
0:41:00 > 0:41:03I'm fed up with the sight of these. I really am.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05You can have these for a pound.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- Really?- Take them away. Yeah, I'm fed up with them.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09And all the dogs keep peeing on them.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Now, that's what you call patination.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- I'm going to give you £2 for it. - £2. Good man!
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- Let's take these and we'll come back for the barrel.- You have one.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- I'll have two.- I'm sure someone will find a good home for those.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24# Standing on the corner of... #
0:41:24 > 0:41:26THEY LAUGH
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Meanwhile in Paignton, the Torquay ware is back on the shelf
0:41:30 > 0:41:33and there's a wall clock under consideration.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36- I'm big on my clocks. - How much is that one?- 35.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- And there's presumably a deal to be done on that?- Yeah.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43- Is that a working clock, though? - It's a bit of a project, really.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Now, there's an euphemism, if I ever heard one!
0:41:46 > 0:41:49This would require a certain amount of DIY skill and practical skill.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52I have no practical skills whatsoever.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55To me, this is already very daunting.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57There's an expression in our business - if the only thing you have to
0:41:57 > 0:42:02apologise for is the price... Well, with this, you have to start making hundreds of apologies.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05So in my eyes, at auction, this is like £20 to 40, which means
0:42:05 > 0:42:09we've got to try and buy it, if you'll let us, around the £15 mark.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10One for Richard to ponder,
0:42:10 > 0:42:13while Bob turns on and tunes in.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- What have you got there, Bob? - Well...
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- FEEDBACK AND STATIC - Oh, there we go.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Now, we couldn't come into this shop and see a Marconi radio,
0:42:23 > 0:42:25could we, Phil, and not discuss it and not consider it?
0:42:25 > 0:42:29- Can I just stop you for one minute? - Yeah, go on. - There's the microphone.- OK.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31I want you to give me the intro to the Bob Harris Show.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34- All right, let me just turn on.- OK. - I'll count you down.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38- Three, two, one...- This is Bob Harris Country on BBC Radio 2.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Ha-ha!
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- What a great moment that was! - This is the kind of radio that my mum used to have in the '50s.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Bakelite case, isn't it?
0:42:47 > 0:42:53Yeah, and it was my mum who was very responsible for me getting
0:42:53 > 0:42:57into radio because it was listening to Listen With Mother with her...
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Sounds like it belongs in the Bob Harris Collection.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- That's the first thing I see. - Oh, I see.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- It's got three bits missing from it, look.- Yes, it has.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10The next thing the auctioneer is probably going to say is,
0:43:10 > 0:43:12this is electrical, it's not been PAT tested,
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- so you've got to cut the wire off. - Right.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17When they cut the wire off, they don't cut it off down here to put
0:43:17 > 0:43:20a plug on, they cut it off right at the back there, so it can't be used.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23- So it disables it. - It disables it and you've then got to get it rewired.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26But that's just me being miserable.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28He's got a reputation to maintain, you know?
0:43:28 > 0:43:32It could make 20 to £30. Ever so easily.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34The price on it here is 65.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Richard?
0:43:36 > 0:43:39- It's lovely, isn't it? - I love it and I want him to buy it.
0:43:39 > 0:43:43- With the best will in the world, what could you do that for? - 35, Phil.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46- And that's the absolute finish? - That would be it, yeah.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48If he offered you £30, would that buy that?
0:43:48 > 0:43:50I think as it's for Whispering Bob Harris
0:43:50 > 0:43:54- and Philip Serrell, I think I could do it for 30 quid.- OK.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57- One last question, before we go any further...- Yeah. - The clock...- Yeah.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00- What's the very best you could do that for?- 20 quid.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02So, 50 for the two.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05- Well, I'm going to go yes, in that case.- That's great by me.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07I think you've got yourself a deal.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10Well, neither of them may work, but they do look nice.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12Whispering Bob, you can become Smiling Bob,
0:44:12 > 0:44:13cos that's the job done.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15Well done, mate. Well done.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18Yes, the shops are now shut. Time to share.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22- Interesting collection.- It's quite a variety of things, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26- What's this? - These are the fisherman's flies.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29It's by a London maker, Ogden Smith.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32- That looks a bit charity shop, doesn't it?- Well, you're bang on.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35It's charity shop 15 years ago.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38- It's now cool and funky retro shop on Kensington- High Street. Really?
0:44:38 > 0:44:40This is what I thought. This was my theory, David.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- Now, that makes it a bit more interesting.- Does it?
0:44:43 > 0:44:45But I think if Bob tried to take that home,
0:44:45 > 0:44:47Trudy wouldn't let him in the house.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49- THEY LAUGH - Now, I thought one of us
0:44:49 > 0:44:52- was either going to buy a record player or a radio.- Or a radio.
0:44:52 > 0:44:58- It had to be. Well, this was just there and it's a Marconi.- Right.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00It's really rather lovely and...
0:45:00 > 0:45:02Does it have a fluorescent tuning tube?
0:45:02 > 0:45:05You get little lights that light up...
0:45:05 > 0:45:08I'm not sure our experts are on quite same wavelength.
0:45:08 > 0:45:09I love the old radios.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12You had to switch them on and wait for it to warm up.
0:45:12 > 0:45:13It needs a bit of a conditioning.
0:45:13 > 0:45:18- I'd give you a couple of quid for it.- Reconditioning, yeah. So...
0:45:18 > 0:45:22- Oh, sorry... We haven't finished yet.- Have you finished? - Johnnie and David's turn.
0:45:22 > 0:45:23- There you go.- Oh, wow!
0:45:23 > 0:45:25It's not as packed a table as yours.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28Can I just ask what drew you to the dog?
0:45:29 > 0:45:32- This is Scamp.- OK.
0:45:32 > 0:45:37Scamp is going to become very famous and he's going to make a few quid.
0:45:37 > 0:45:42- Moving slightly away from Scamp... We've both bought sort of...- Yeah.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45It's fascinating. We know this once belonged to Lord Raglan.
0:45:45 > 0:45:49Well, we now know that this came from Lord Raglan as well.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51- It never did!- It did now! - LAUGHTER
0:45:51 > 0:45:55- Yeah, but does it have an R stamped on it?- It will have!
0:45:55 > 0:45:58Give me a felt tip. Give me a felt tip.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01Now, what do you think of this beautiful barrel?
0:46:01 > 0:46:02Is that gunpowder plot?
0:46:02 > 0:46:05- Gunpowder plot, yeah. Came from a ship in Plymouth.- Yeah.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09We have reason to believe it was Nelson's, from HMS Victory.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12It was from the pub, the Nelson!
0:46:12 > 0:46:13That's where it was from!
0:46:13 > 0:46:16- Well, good luck, Johnnie. - Good luck, Bob.
0:46:16 > 0:46:17- We'll see you there.- OK.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19But what did they really think?
0:46:19 > 0:46:23- Philip's very rude about Scamp. I think it's jealousy.- Of course.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26I tell you what I really do like of theirs, I like the barrel.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28- Everything else has cost them nothing.- Yeah.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Whereas we've got jeopardy all the way down the line.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33I like their picnic set. I think that's very sweet and charming.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36Yeah, it's not going to make much money though.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38I loved it, really. It's been fantastic, Phil.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41- I'm going to go now. - BOB LAUGHS
0:46:41 > 0:46:44After a whistle-stop tour of the south west,
0:46:44 > 0:46:47our DJs are now in Wiltshire and heading for the auction
0:46:47 > 0:46:49in Salisbury.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52- How are you feeling about all this? - Little bit nervous.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Funnily enough, so am I.
0:46:54 > 0:46:55I'm slightly apprehensive.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58Cos when we started this thing, we both said to each other -
0:46:58 > 0:47:03- ah, we don't care if we win, but I want to win!- Yeah.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Let's rock!
0:47:05 > 0:47:10Salisbury, on the confluence of five rivers, is an ancient city,
0:47:10 > 0:47:13also - hold tight - an old stomping ground
0:47:13 > 0:47:15of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.
0:47:16 > 0:47:20Now then, the two coolest dudes in Britain... Are you nervous?
0:47:20 > 0:47:23- We're going to do well. Confidence. - Shall we go and see?
0:47:23 > 0:47:26- We're going to do well. - Lead the way.- Lead the way.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29Has anything caught the eye of Netherhampton Saleroom
0:47:29 > 0:47:31auctioneer Richard Petty?
0:47:31 > 0:47:33The wall clock, we're quite excited about that.
0:47:33 > 0:47:37Probably the most valuable piece we've got here today.
0:47:37 > 0:47:38Hopefully, we'll see £100 for it.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41Be very disappointed if we make any less than 80 for it.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44The pastel and pen picture of Scamp the dog.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46All I can say is I hope we've got somebody in here today who
0:47:46 > 0:47:48has a little dog that looks similar to that.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50Other than that, I don't know.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53Marconi wireless is actually my favourite piece of all of them,
0:47:53 > 0:47:56would hope to make somewhere between 50 and £70 on it.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59If I was having a present from today's sale,
0:47:59 > 0:48:01that's one I would like.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04Bob and Phil spent £260 on six auction lots.
0:48:04 > 0:48:10While Johnnie and David acquired the same number for £196.50.
0:48:10 > 0:48:15But with the bidding about to commence, there's been a complaint.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18- All the items we've got in the auction should be as is.- Yeah.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21- As you bought it.- Yeah, yeah. - That's how it is in the auction.
0:48:21 > 0:48:26- Of course, yeah. - But look at that - personally signed by music legend Bob Harris.- What?!
0:48:26 > 0:48:31- We never said that about you, did we?- I'll sign all of my lots.- You were going to sign everything.- No.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33We're talking about adding value.
0:48:33 > 0:48:37Oh, Lordy! First up, that somewhat controversial wireless.
0:48:37 > 0:48:41- I think we should make an official complaint.- Shall we do that?
0:48:41 > 0:48:42- Shall we start writing it now?- Yeah.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45I'll get Bob to sign it for you!
0:48:45 > 0:48:47I'm going to start my bidding at £20.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50He's never mentioned it.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52..30. 35. 40.
0:48:52 > 0:48:5445. 50.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56- 55. 60.- You're going well!
0:48:56 > 0:48:57At 65, I'm out.
0:48:57 > 0:49:0065. 65. 70.
0:49:00 > 0:49:0275? 75.
0:49:02 > 0:49:0780. 85. 90. 95.
0:49:07 > 0:49:09100? 105.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12105. You won't find any more of them.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14You might start now!
0:49:14 > 0:49:17At £105.
0:49:17 > 0:49:21- Well done, well done.- Even though you cheated.- High five!
0:49:22 > 0:49:27A great start. Now for Johnnie's leg-of-mutton gun case.
0:49:27 > 0:49:28Shall we start with a tenner?
0:49:28 > 0:49:31- I'll sign it on the back!- He'll sign it!
0:49:31 > 0:49:33- LAUGHTER - I'll sign all my lots!
0:49:33 > 0:49:36LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH
0:49:36 > 0:49:40I've got a couple of bids in, will you sign those as well?
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Right, anyway, 10 I've got.
0:49:43 > 0:49:44- 15.- 20.- Get it going!
0:49:44 > 0:49:4825. 30. 35. I've got 40.
0:49:48 > 0:49:5345. 45 in the corner. 45. And 50. 55.
0:49:53 > 0:49:5660. 60. Your turn.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58Go on!
0:49:58 > 0:50:00I've GOT 60! You work here!
0:50:00 > 0:50:01- LAUGHTER - 62!
0:50:01 > 0:50:0362?!
0:50:03 > 0:50:05At 62. 62. 65.
0:50:07 > 0:50:0965. Anybody else. At 65.
0:50:09 > 0:50:13At £65...
0:50:13 > 0:50:14Yours, sir.
0:50:14 > 0:50:18Well, you can't always get what you want. How about this?
0:50:18 > 0:50:20Ideal for a trip in a Zephyr, what?
0:50:20 > 0:50:23- I'm starting the bidding at £15. - No, that is very pretty.
0:50:23 > 0:50:2615, 15, 15, 15. 20.
0:50:26 > 0:50:2925. 30. 35.
0:50:29 > 0:50:3340. 45. 50. 55.
0:50:33 > 0:50:3755. With me, with me, 55. Anybody else want to join in?
0:50:37 > 0:50:41- 55. Your last chance on this lot. - Unbelievable!
0:50:41 > 0:50:46- £55.- Very good.- Well done! Well done!
0:50:46 > 0:50:49Those two are our current chart toppers.
0:50:49 > 0:50:53Can Johnnie and David's little camera close the gap?
0:50:53 > 0:50:5540? 30? 10? Thank you.
0:50:55 > 0:50:58- Oh!- £10, £10, £10, £10.
0:50:58 > 0:51:03£10. £12. 15. 18. 20. 22.
0:51:03 > 0:51:04Come on! Come on!
0:51:04 > 0:51:06- 22.- 22.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27A £10 note!
0:52:27 > 0:52:31Not the worst loss ever, but it doesn't help their cause.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34- That's all down to you, son!- Is it? - Yeah, that was your call.
0:52:34 > 0:52:38- See how it turns?- Yeah. But it's true!- It is true.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43Crumbling before our eyes.
0:52:43 > 0:52:47I'm surprised Bob hasn't signed his cartridge or cassette case.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50Start the bidding at £20. At £20.
0:52:50 > 0:52:52- £20, £20... - Somebody over there, look.

0:53:31 > 0:53:35Almost wiped its face, but it's a small loss after auction costs.
0:53:35 > 0:53:39Can they catch a fat profit with this little item, though?
0:53:39 > 0:53:4150? 60? 40? 30?
0:53:41 > 0:53:42£30 I have.

0:54:03 > 0:54:06Oh, what a shame, guys, you lost a bit of money there.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08I think this is all about to kick off.
0:54:08 > 0:54:13I didn't know I was competitive until right now.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15You wait till Scamp! You wait!
0:54:15 > 0:54:19Yeah, not yet, though, because next up is their pirate pick,
0:54:19 > 0:54:20the powder barrel.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23It's a kind of blank canvas, though, isn't it?
0:54:23 > 0:54:25- Because you can do stuff with it. - That's what we thought.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28- You could fill it full of gunpowder. - You could.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30Johnnie, we might have to!
0:54:30 > 0:54:33Start the bidding at £25? At 25?

0:55:31 > 0:55:34- Well done, well done. - What do you think?- Time flies!
0:55:35 > 0:55:39That's just about assured victory for those two, I'd say.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42The figures don't look good, Johnnie. They just don't look good.
0:55:42 > 0:55:46- Bob, what comes next? What comes next?- Well, it's Scamp.- Exactly!
0:55:46 > 0:55:48Everything is on Scamp now.

0:57:28 > 0:57:30- That's a good idea.- Come on, then.

0:57:33 > 0:57:38and made, after paying auction costs, a loss of £29.94.

0:57:41 > 0:57:45but after auction costs they made a profit of £76.20.
0:57:45 > 0:57:50So they are today's winners by over £100.
0:57:50 > 0:57:52All profits go to Children In Need.
0:57:52 > 0:57:55- It was an unfair fight. - LAUGHTER
0:57:55 > 0:57:58- We should do it all again. - We have the moral victory.- We did.
0:57:58 > 0:58:02- And we had Scamp! No-one else had a Scamp.- Yeah.
0:58:02 > 0:58:05- We've got to go, Bob. - We should, yeah.
0:58:05 > 0:58:07- Thank you very much.- See you, Bob.
0:58:07 > 0:58:08See you, guys.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13Go for it, Johnnie, put your foot down.
0:58:13 > 0:58:16Now, there must be a second-hand record shop around here somewhere.
0:58:16 > 0:58:18The moment they got in touch
0:58:18 > 0:58:21and said, "Do you fancy doing the Antiques Road Trip?
0:58:21 > 0:58:24"Bob Harris is doing it." I said, "OK, I'll do it."
0:58:24 > 0:58:26It was exactly the same with me.
0:58:26 > 0:58:29They said, "You'll be with Johnnie Walker." "Oh, yes!"
0:58:29 > 0:58:30LAUGHTER
