0:00:02 > 0:00:03The nation's favourite celebrities...
0:00:03 > 0:00:06- Got some proper bling here. - ..paired up with an expert...
0:00:06 > 0:00:09- Calm down.- Point, point. - ..and a classic car.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Get your legs up! All right, girls!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Their mission - to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16- GLASS SMASHES - 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 > 0:00:27Who will find a hidden gem? Who will take the biggest risks?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Turning 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 will 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 > 0:00:40No, I'm sorry.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Time to put your pedal to the metal.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43THEY CHEER
0:00:43 > 0:00:46This is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Yeah.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Welcome to a very different sort of Road Trip.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Gracing our screen today are two unique celebrities.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03British style legend Wayne Hemingway is driving this rather
0:01:03 > 0:01:05fetching 1979 Opel Kadett.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08And beside him is a guest with a twist.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11It's a big break for me, this, Wayne.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14You know, I'm hoping to break out of the carvery circuit.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Cos I just played a hospice, you know?
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Actor and comedian Graham Fellows is best known for creating
0:01:20 > 0:01:23legendary characters like Jilted John,
0:01:23 > 0:01:28whose song Jilted John reached number four in the charts in 1978.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32# Gordon is a moron... #
0:01:32 > 0:01:33But on the Road Trip today,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Graham is appearing as his longest-running comedy character,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41cult musician and polo neck enthusiast John Shuttleworth.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43First created for Radio Four,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47John was soon given his own television series 500 Bus Stops.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50He even made a brave, albeit fictional,
0:01:50 > 0:01:54bid for Eurovision glory in his programme Europigeon.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56# Pigeons in flight
0:01:56 > 0:01:59# I want to see you tonight. #
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Have you not got a car a bit like this?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I have. I've got a much newer model than this.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05This is a T-reg, isn't it?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I'm used to driving a Y-reg.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- 1981.- And you sang a song about it? - I did.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12# Austin Ambassador Y-reg
0:02:12 > 0:02:14# Y-reg, Y reg
0:02:14 > 0:02:16# Don't keep asking me why, Reg
0:02:16 > 0:02:18It just happens to be that year. #
0:02:19 > 0:02:23One of John's biggest fans, and fellow Road Tripper today,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Wayne Hemingway, first came to fame after co-founding fashion
0:02:27 > 0:02:30label Red or Dead with his wife, Geraldine.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37He also famously designed for iconic British bookmaker Dr Martens.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Why me?- Wayne's, you know, a bit of a nutcase in some respects.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Throughout the 1990s, he was the fashion critic on the Big Breakfast
0:02:44 > 0:02:48and became a millionaire when Red or Dead was sold in 1998.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Fashion is not brain surgery. It's nothing that important.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55But what it can do for you is it can give somebody an impression.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Before they speak to you, it can say something about what
0:02:58 > 0:02:59kind of person you are.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03These days, he runs his own design company and has turned his love
0:03:03 > 0:03:07and knowledge of vintage items into being a champion of upcycling
0:03:07 > 0:03:09and recycling.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12This man could give any expert a run for their money.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Do we need experts to go with us? I'm not so sure.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- We could ditch them, maybe. - I might need some help, Wayne,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21because I have a problem with selling all this old stuff.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Because I like new stuff.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27What's in your house right now that you could flog?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Well, it's funny you should say that because I brought a peppermill.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I don't reckon that's an antique though, do you?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I don't reckon it's worth much, that.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- I think you are going to need this expert.- Do you think I am?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Next to the 1983 Mini Cooper
0:03:40 > 0:03:43are auctioneers Paul Laidlaw and Philip Serrell.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Who do you want to work with?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I'm easy-peasy. Seriously. Have you got a preference?
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- Clearly, you know, fashion style icon.- I was thinking that.- No, me.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- I think that a lot.- Me, me, me.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Yeah, here they are. Look.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Look at that. What a machine!
0:04:00 > 0:04:01What a machine.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03You go and get your man, I'll go and get mine.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05We've paired ourselves off?
0:04:05 > 0:04:06- Yeah, we've done it.- Good man.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- Hello. John, how are you? - Wayne, how are you, my friend?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Good to see you. Philip.- Hiya. - You look very well.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17We seem to have paired ourselves off naturally, is that all right?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Style icon. Style icon. We should work together and...
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Are you saying I'm not a style icon? - You completely are.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26We'll wander over this way and let them get on with it.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28He genuinely wants to go to Argos.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Can you drive?- I can drive. Shall I?- Yes, please, yeah.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36With the teams decided, it's Midlands or bust this trip.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46With £400 each, they will be starting out in the village of Bromfield
0:04:46 > 0:04:47near Ludlow in Shropshire,
0:04:47 > 0:04:51before travelling over 100 miles through wonderful Worcestershire
0:04:51 > 0:04:54and heading for that all-important auction in Stroud.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59First out of the pits are John and Paul.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- So, tell me, John.- Yes.- How did you get into the world of music?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I bought a keyboard. With built-in auto accompaniments.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Off a policeman called Barry.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I can do vibrato.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13HE SINGS
0:05:13 > 0:05:18And I just took it from there. I started playing the local hospice.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I don't play the drop-in centre so much now
0:05:20 > 0:05:23because they carry on playing table tennis.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25And it's not in time with the music.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I get that.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30MUSIC: Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin
0:05:30 > 0:05:34The first stop on the trip today for these two is Kidderminster.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin grew up around here,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42but how will our musical guest fare in the antiques game?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Here we are.- This is it. John, welcome to my world.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Their first shop is Ian Warner Jewellery and Antiques.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53That's quite nice, isn't it? Is that for sale, do you think?
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Uh...
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Nice fluorescent light fixing.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Do you think that will be up for grabs?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Antiques, John, antiques.- Oh, yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06You should be writing that on your hand.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Oh, Paul!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Can you convince John to embrace the old?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Here to help is Ian Warner.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Hello, I'm Ian.- How are you doing? Are you all right?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Hello. John Shuttleworth. - John Shuttleworth?- Yep.- Ah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- I've come to look for some old things.- Hm.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23That people will want to buy at the auction.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25That's the idea, all right.
0:06:27 > 0:06:33I just find I'm a bit bamboozled by the quantity of products.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Wood for trees can be an issue in this game.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38It's just that when you go to Argos, you've got a catalogue,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41everything is listed, d'you know what I mean?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Is that Bruegel?
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Sadly, it's not a Bruegel.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Hunters In The Snow.- Yeah, indeed. - It was on a Christmas card we got.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50And they are walking away, aren't they?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54So I think that'll do well. Cos it's like a Bruegel.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56PAUL LAUGHS
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Can I play you my trump card? - Well, you can try.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00They are not antiques!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04I'll come back later, privately, and put in an offer.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Look at that kettle!
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Now that is gorgeous.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Eh...- It is.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14You're a dark horse, you.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Because I do a bit of acting. And sometimes I have to do a warm up.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21And you go, "A proper cup of coffee and a proper cup of coffee pot."
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Go on, you do that.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26A proper cup of coffee and a proper coffee cup...
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Clearly I'm no actor.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30That's the late 19th century, you know?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- Is it?- And in its day, that was startlingly avant-garde.- Right.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39There is no ticket price, but it's old. And crucially, John likes it.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40What else can they find?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Paul, come look at this.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Look at that, Paul. I saw it on the way in.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- What do you think?- Let me tell you why you should buy that.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Oh, go on, then.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53You know Pears, the soap manufacturer?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- By appointment to HM the Queen. - Yes, I do.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59That has all the hallmarks of a Pears print.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I daresay, if you bought enough bars of soap, you'd get that for
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Christmas in 1895, frame it up, and you've some fine art on your wall.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09And you know what, it's lovely!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Let's put an offer in.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Pears reproduced artwork as posters in the 19th century -
0:08:15 > 0:08:19ground-breaking advertising at the time that helped make them
0:08:19 > 0:08:20a household name.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Time to strike a deal.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Are you a haggler?- Yes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I once knocked an old lady down...
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Not knocked her down, got the price down at the charity shop.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- ..from 85p to 60p. - Haggling a charity shop?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38For a Nolan Sisters record.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39In that case...
0:08:39 > 0:08:40This should be interesting.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43How about £100 for the lot?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Oh, you don't know what we are buying yet.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48There is a kettle we like. Could you do that for... Well, how much is it?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- LAUGHTER - Just stopped myself on time.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- What were you going to say? - LAUGHTER
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- I was going to say 32. - Oh, were you? Oh, dear.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- 50 quid.- That's far too much.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06I don't know that it's far too much, but it's a risky one.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Might have to think on that one then.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11What else were we interested in?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14A picture. It's 85, it says.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- It says 85. 50 quid. - Nah, it's too much.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Don't commit to anything.
0:09:18 > 0:09:2135 quid is the death on the copper kettle.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24OK, what's the death on the Pears print? If it's a Pears print.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- 40 quid.- Have you got anything up your sleeve that you'd go,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30"Well, do you know what? I think that's hot at the moment."
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I've just bought a piece of Ruskin.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It's 40 quid.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39It's a quality antique, but will John like it?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Ruskin. Ruskin Pottery.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Named after John Ruskin, arguably the father of
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- the Arts & Crafts movement.- To me,
0:09:47 > 0:09:52that looks like what an art student would do for the end of college.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Right, let's talk business.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59This, the kettle and the picture for £105.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I was going to say 100, but I'm feeling generous today.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05The wheels are going.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Yeah? What about that then?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Is that too much?
0:10:09 > 0:10:10- Uh...- No, slap me hand.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13LAUGHTER
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Yes!- What have you just done?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19John's bought some actual antiques.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23And with a bit of money knocked off, he's showing some great promise.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- Thank you very much. - Can I have a receipt, please?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Certainly.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Well, you never know, do you?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Time to see now what our other pair are up to.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Back in Bromfield, Phil is still trying to get
0:10:40 > 0:10:41the measure of his new companion.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I don't want to buy things just for the sake of turning it
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- and making money.- OK.- I want it to be an interesting piece
0:10:47 > 0:10:49and something that I feel passionate about.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52We might not find anything that I feel passionate about.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Right, well, we've got called to an antiques shop.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57But before we go there, I know this area quite well,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00and over the back there is a big food hall. OK?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03And in the food hall, they have things like old vegetable crates
0:11:03 > 0:11:05and that sort of stuff. Is that your sort of bag?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Yeah, well, there is a demand for vegetable crates.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10You know, they are remaking them, aren't they?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It's what they call shabby chic. Yeah, let's have a look at them.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15OK, let's go and have a wander.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Our Phil does like to take us to the strangest of places.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21And he may have found a kindred spirit.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Lovely. But not exactly our normal fare, boys.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Oh, they're nice. Hopefully, manager, Edward, can help you out.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Known as King Edward to his friends.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Get it? Spud.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36So, these are said ones. Now, I would say...
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- That's an old one.- Yes.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41- That's an old one.- Yes.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45That's an old one. And these - one, two, three - are repros.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46- Repros, yeah.- Is that right? Right.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51Nice work, Wayne. This is a man who clearly knows his vintage goods.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Number one, first of all, would you sell them?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I think we'd sell them. Seems like a good idea.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58What about a quid each?
0:12:00 > 0:12:05- A quid and one for the almshouse? - Yeah. Go on, then. So that's...
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Two a box.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Ten quid the lot then?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Ten quid the lot?- All of them?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- All of them. Old and new? - I'll take the repros as well, yeah.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- I can make use of them.- OK. - Ten quid the lot?- Done.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Well, that could be the quickest deal I've ever seen on the Road Trip.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Ten pounds for six boxes. Great.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24He's very, very good, isn't he?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I tell you what, I'm going to stick around with you.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28It looks like these two might just get along.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Where can Phil take Wayne next?
0:12:30 > 0:12:36How about 32 miles from Bromfield, in Phil's hometown of Worcester?
0:12:36 > 0:12:41The drive is a chance for Phil to get to know his travelling companion.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44One of the things about second-hand
0:12:44 > 0:12:49and vintage is about appreciating things that stand the test of time.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53For me, old things are not about making money.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- And more often than not, not about nostalgia.- Yeah.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I really like the idea that something can have been
0:13:00 > 0:13:02designed, can have been made,
0:13:02 > 0:13:06and then can carry on being used by different generations after it.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Because they have got a purpose. And they are attractive as well.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I've always said that the antiques business is the greenest
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- business there is cos we do tend to recycle.- Recycling, yeah.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18We recycle everything.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21An issue close to Wayne's heart.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23And in the name of recycling,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26we seem to be staying off the beaten track this morning.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29What on earth will we find here?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Someone's garage.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Lawrence, lovely to see you.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Hiya, Phil. Yeah, I'm all right, mate.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- Now, Wayne, this is Lawrence. - Nice to meet you.- Hello, Wayne.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- How do you do?- Great, thank you. This is what I like to see.- Is it?
0:13:41 > 0:13:46A wisteria and ivy-covered garage in somebody's back garden.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Phil has known Lawrence Harper for years.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52He's been buying and selling old fairground equipment,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56government surplus and just about anything, really, for decades.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58To a vintage enthusiast like Wayne,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02this is like being a kid in a huge, retro sweet shop.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05So you want to buy a few fairground bits?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Interested in all sorts of stuff. This is interesting.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10This is obviously where you shove your 10p and land it on a...
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- Yeah. It's a roll down... - Yeah.- We call them roll down boards.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Commonly known as the roll-a-ball,
0:14:17 > 0:14:21as you roll a ball into a hole and win a prize.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24These hand-painted boards are pre-1940s,
0:14:24 > 0:14:28and eight of them would have linked together to form a circular stall.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Once a common fairground sight, they are now much rarer,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35making them of interest to vintage fairground enthusiasts.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Lawrence, how much are those?
0:14:38 > 0:14:43I wanted about £140 a piece for them.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Ah, possible then. Wayne is rolling up his sleeves and getting stuck in.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49What else will catch his eye?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51A shop display rack.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52That could bring in money.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Yeah, that's interesting. It's shabby chic, isn't it?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- It's shabby.- It's shabby chic. - It's very shabby.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01They are government surplus.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Keep your toast in. - Yeah, I'm interested in them.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Some toast racks and...
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Old overalls.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- I'll give you them.- Right. He's giving me them. I'm having them.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Retro overalls? This is getting wackier by the second.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- They are off pickled onions. - No, we don't want them.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Pickled onions?! He's not serious, is he?!
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- Look at the jars.- No. - Look at the jars.- Kilner jars.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Really nice old Kilner jars.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Listen, do not say that because I can remember my mother using those.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33How does that date me?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I can just feel one of my headaches coming on now.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37It's just rearing up a treat.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Wayne is loving it in here.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43It seems Phil is being out-Philed.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Listen, on a serious note now, I think
0:15:47 > 0:15:50this little parcel that you've put together here...
0:15:50 > 0:15:54I don't know what he's going to ask you for it, my only input is this,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56cos I know you're going to buy what you want anyway.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59But those boards are the most auction marketable thing we've seen.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I know. And I'm thinking about it.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Sound advice from our expert.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08But Wayne "The Whirlwind" Hemingway is not done searching.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I'd actually love to buy these stairs. Now they would sell well.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I don't think he's joking either.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Going off-piste might be Phil's forte,
0:16:16 > 0:16:20but Wayne is taking this to a whole new level.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- You can buy the door. - What's the door off?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27It came out when we restored the coach house.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29It's full of woodworm.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- It's not!- Does it matter? It does, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- That ain't full of woodworm. - Full of it. Look at it.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39If that is a fiver, I'll take it off your hands.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Will that make a start to you buying all the other things?
0:16:42 > 0:16:43- Yes, it would be a start.- Right.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48We're off the mark. A woodworm-infested door for a fiver.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53But will Wayne take Phil's advice and go for that roll-a-ball?
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Right.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56One of those boards then.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58We reckon that...
0:17:00 > 0:17:02That even at 80 quid, it's a risk.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Can we have a go at one of them for 60 and see how we get on?
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- Wayne, I'll have to leave those. - What is the absolute lowest?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I would have thought... They've got to be 120 quid.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14You want £120?
0:17:15 > 0:17:16100 quid.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Try and roll it into this stuff.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Yeah, I'm trying to think about that.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I tell you what, let's just say 25 quid.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I think we are edging towards a deal.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28By my count, that's 100 for the ballgame
0:17:28 > 0:17:31and 25 for the assorted items.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- 110 for the lot.- We'll split it. 105 board and these.
0:17:35 > 0:17:40- 105.- 105. Done.- One roll down board and this lot.- OK.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Well done, Lawrence and Wayne, that's the mixed vintage and retro lot,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46and the roll-a-ball game, and not forgetting that door
0:17:46 > 0:17:52for the grand total of £110. Wow. That was a shop with a difference.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Cheers, Wayne, thanks.- Cheers, Lol. - OK, mate.- Lovely job.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56- Thank you.- Thanks.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Paul and John are taking our trip to the Georgian town of Bewdley.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I've started to like this buying old things, Paul.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I don't know what's come over me.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Yeah, you've worked wonders, Paul. He's a convert already.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Should make their next shop a breeze.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17We've come to buy some items.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19For a knock-down price, if possible.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Is it all right to have a little browse?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Fill your boots.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Why, thank you, Matt.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28What antiques will grab John in here?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Paul.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I can't see anything that I like.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34John, we've just walked through the door.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- I know, but...- Relax.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Get your mojo focused.- Yeah.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Oh. Hang on. "Silver-plated sugar box and scoop."
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- It's Victorian.- It's nice.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54It's modelled as a coal box.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- So it's a novelty piece.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Shall we have a look at it?
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- Have you got a key?- Certainly, John. - We've seen something we like.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06It's the sugar box and scoop.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Thank you. Quite a nice weight to it, Paul.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Victorian. - Do you want to feel the weight?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20It is heavy because a lot of that is lead.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Oh, I see.- Britannia metal is the base to that.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27But the truth of the matter is, that's a really good edition.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31As Matt knows, once that's been polished within an inch of its life,
0:19:31 > 0:19:32it'll look like pewter.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36The sugar box and scoop has a ticket price of £55.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39On a bad day, that's 20 or £30 worth.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- On a good day, it is £30-£60 worth. It isn't priced badly.- No.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I mean, that's a very fair price if you want to take that home.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Would you mind leaving us, please? We are discussing...
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- PAUL LAUGHS - a price to...- No problem at all.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53We'll be with you shortly.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Thanks, John.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- You are too reserved. - 25 came to my mind.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- Is that a cheap starting price? - I think that's a finishing price.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Oh, well.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07All right, well, I think we should definitely consider this.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Do you mind, Paul? - Am I the keeper of the sugar box?
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Apparently so.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Apparently so. I know my place. I'm comfortable with it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17So that's one possibility. Anything else?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I found something of interest, Paul.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Oof.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25GONG RINGS
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Oh! Bring out your dead.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- It's got a medieval quality. - You think?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33GONG CHIMES
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I think this would go well because it's practical.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Cos everyone wants to come on time for dinner, don't they?
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Funnily enough, John, nobody wants these things.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Well, I do.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47You are more likely to text somebody to come down to dinner
0:20:47 > 0:20:49than ring a dinner gong.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Wise words, Paul. Next.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Hey, Paul.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Talk to me.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- PAUL SNIGGERS - That's gorgeous, isn't it?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Price tag...
0:21:04 > 0:21:0615. >
0:21:06 > 0:21:0715 quid?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Eh, that was the starting price.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I think that could go to the right buyer
0:21:16 > 0:21:18for about 25.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20You could be right.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22But I also like the sugar bowl.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25The sugar bowl is an antique.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Why don't we see what price we can get for both the items?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30OK.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- See what the numbers are.- Yeah?
0:21:32 > 0:21:37It's not really an antique, or even vintage, and Paul's not convinced.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43However, John likes it. And there is that much older Victorian sugar box.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Time to talk to Matt.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48We've not seen much that we like, to be honest.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51No disrespect to the shop.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54It's lovely. But we're only looking for a couple of items.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Possibly just one.
0:21:56 > 0:22:02We do like this Victorian silver-plated sugar box and scoop.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05And we are prepared to offer you £14.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08What do you say?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12I couldn't do it for 14, John, to be fair.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16I could do the box for 14 and the scoop for 16.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Pff! That's a pricey scoop. - PAUL LAUGHS
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Um... How about we meet you halfway at 20?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27For both. We're on a tight budget, you see.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- That sounds... - 20 sounds fair, doesn't it?
0:22:30 > 0:22:3325 would be more realistic, wouldn't it?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I mean, that's still £30 off the marked price.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37What about the leopard?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39What about the leopard? The leopard started off at 15.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Yeah. If we got them both...
0:22:42 > 0:22:45..for 30, then we might be talking business.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Come on, it's getting late.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53You want to have your tea. And so do I, actually.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I tell you what, to give you a fair crack of the whip,
0:22:57 > 0:22:58- I'll do the two for 30.- Eh!
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- Thank you very much. - You've struck a deal.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08That's the least likely auction lot we'll see this year.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13So that's £20 for the sugar box and scoop, and ten pounds for the cat.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Well done, chaps.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Wayne and Phil are now taking our trip back to Kidderminster.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22They've come to find out how this small town came to be
0:23:22 > 0:23:24the carpet-making capital of the world.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29Just as Wayne's designs coloured the 1980s and '90s, designs from
0:23:29 > 0:23:34Kidderminster displaying the home interiors of the '50s, '60s and '70s.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36And here to tell them more is Melvin.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- It's nice to meet you. - Welcome to the carpet museum.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- I'm Philip, how are you? - Welcome to the Museum of Carpets.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Kidderminster's carpet industry first boomed in the 18th century
0:23:46 > 0:23:49thanks to its position on a new canal connecting
0:23:49 > 0:23:53the rivers serving the North and South of England.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Factories sprung up making the famous Kidderminster weave.
0:23:59 > 0:24:05And the town's skyline was dominated by the carpet mills' chimneys.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07The industry dominated life in the town,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10generations of families worked in the mills, playing for the mills'
0:24:10 > 0:24:15sporting teams, and even had their weddings in the mills' social clubs.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17But during World War II,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19the factories were turned over to military use
0:24:19 > 0:24:23and production of carpet dropped dramatically.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27But this pent-up demand led to an incredible time for Kidderminster.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31When was the heyday of Kidderminster carpet manufacturing?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34The heyday - after the Second World War.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39During the World War, there were five years of no production.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41The looms were pushed back to the wall
0:24:41 > 0:24:45and we had a situation where no carpet was woven.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46So the moment the war had finished,
0:24:46 > 0:24:51as soon as raw materials were available, the carpet boom started.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53And what a boom it was.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56At its peak in the 1950s, Kidderminster was producing
0:24:56 > 0:25:00millions of square yards of carpets every year.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03In the boom years, how big was Kidderminster then?
0:25:03 > 0:25:09Kidderminster had 25 companies and about 15,000 people.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10It was quite a large company.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15The whole of the town centre was covered in carpet factories.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- Carpet town.- It was a carpet town.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20In the post-war consumer and housing boom,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23many families bought wall-to-wall carpets for the first time.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27After years of austerity, drabness was out and colour was in.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Design had become everything.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31There's some very recognisable designs here.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34This must be from the late '50s, early '60s, is it?
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Yes, it's the '60s.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40It was one of the carpets that we sold 1,000,000 square yards of.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41It's called Skater's Trail.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44You can probably see why it's called Skater's Trail.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45I think my nan had this.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49I also remember seeing it in every single mail order catalogue.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Absolutely.- It would have been everywhere.- It was perfect.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55You could join it together and carry on. Wall-to-wall carpet.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Then I noticed down here that there is one of my design heroes -
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Lucienne Day.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Her and Robin Day, heroes of me and Geraldine.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06You know, husband and wife design team. Just amazing.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08She was very forward-thinking.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11And looking at this here, it's very Lucienne Day.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13It says it retailed at
0:26:13 > 0:26:18two pounds 18 shillings and sixpence a square yard.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22If you had some Lucienne Day carpet that was unworn, it would
0:26:22 > 0:26:25be very, very collectable. But you just wouldn't come across it.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Lucienne Day was just one of the big names that carpet company
0:26:28 > 0:26:32signed up to create cutting-edge designs.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34But the Goya design,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37seen here in almost every '60s and '70s household,
0:26:37 > 0:26:39was designed by Heather Goodwin -
0:26:39 > 0:26:41a less celebrated in-house designer.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45The factories even had their own school of art and design,
0:26:45 > 0:26:46here in Kidderminster.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Doing florals and doing flowers was an age-old...
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- It was very, very popular. - An age-old thing.
0:26:52 > 0:26:551,000,000 square yards. Both these.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56I imagine that would have been split.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59That would have been for the traditionalists.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- And that would have been for the modernists.- Yes, yes.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Kidderminster carpets covered floors from Australia to America.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Caesar's Palace, the Eiffel Tower, the Russian Tsar's Summer Palace,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12even the White House all sported the Kidderminster weave.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15However, decline began in the 1970s.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20And today, only one of 25 chimneys remain in the town's skyline.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23But five companies and 500 people are still employed making
0:27:23 > 0:27:26the carpets that once covered the world.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32That was quite a day.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Nighty-night.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Good morning, Road Trippers.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45How did it go for you, then, yesterday?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48I'm not telling you, Wayne, it's confidential.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53Was it home, was it big stuff you bought or knick-knacks?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Well, you know, I'd have to kill you first, Wayne.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I've only just noticed these furry dice.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01What... Do you reckon you'd get something for them at auction?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I wouldn't put it past you, Wayne.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06How are our esteemed experts this morning?
0:28:06 > 0:28:11I'm going to try and steer Wayne, if that can be done.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13It's a bit like steering the Queen Mary.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15It's on a course, it won't move from it.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18I'm going to try and steer Wayne into some antiques shop
0:28:18 > 0:28:21and some antiques. But I've got a feeling,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24I've got a real feeling that just might not end up that.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Let's just have a quick reminder how they got on yesterday.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32John and Paul spent £135 on five items.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33The copper kettle,
0:28:33 > 0:28:34the Pears print,
0:28:34 > 0:28:36the Ruskin vase,
0:28:36 > 0:28:37the sugar box,
0:28:37 > 0:28:38and the cat.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41That leaves them with £265 for the day ahead.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- See you next time.- No problem.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48Wayne and Phil spent £120 on a rather eclectic mix.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Some food crates,
0:28:50 > 0:28:51a door,
0:28:51 > 0:28:53an assorted lot of retro items,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55and a fairground roll-a-ball game,
0:28:55 > 0:28:58leaving them with £280 to spend today.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02- Cheers, Lol.- OK, mate.- Lovely job. - Yeah.- Thank you.- Thanks.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- Here they come.- Here's the guys. - Moment of truth.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- Morning.- How you doing, John?
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- I'm very good, thank you. How are you?- I'm all right.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16- Sleep well? - As well as can be expected.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19We are off now to go and buy some quality items, aren't we?
0:29:19 > 0:29:21I don't know. You didn't manage to do that yesterday.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- Whereas we did, you see? - Actually, you didn't.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26But we'll go and find something that's...
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- Well, spectacular. - Better than yesterday.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31No, no, no. I'm very pleased with what we bought yesterday.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33In the light of what Wayne's been telling me in the car,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36I'm feeling quite optimistic about our chances.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Glad to hear it, John.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Both our teams are heading to Evesham. And to the same shop.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46First to arrive at Twyford Antiques Centre
0:29:46 > 0:29:48are Wayne and Phil.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55This looks interesting.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Well, it is your first antiques shop of the trip.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Big enough too.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08But how will Wayne get on in a more, shall we say, conventional setting?
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- Everybody's here. - The oppos' vehicle there.- Yeah.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16My Austin Ambassador would have beaten this car.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- PAUL LAUGHS - 1-0 to the Kadett so far.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- Here we go.- Right.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Bargains might have been snapped up before we got through the door.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25Come on.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Love the optimism.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- Wayne.- Hello, John.- Phil, hello. - Good to see you again.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32John, how are you? Lovely to see you.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Yeah, well. Only recently that we parted.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- Absolutely right.- Happy here?
0:30:36 > 0:30:39You're going to like it here, I think.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41This first box here. Look at this here.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Records. Seven-inch vinyl. 50% off the purchase price.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- Hey!- First one - Rod Stewart - Do You Think I'm Sexy?
0:30:47 > 0:30:51Well, I prefer the B-side. No, I don't.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53WAYNE LAUGHS
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- That was a very rude title. - It is a very rude title, yeah.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Dirty Weekend. I'm not in music mode. I'm in antique-buying mode.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04These are... Well, come on then. Let's go, let's go and look.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Nice video camera there.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08But again, will it do well at an auction?
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- No, no.- Depends on the auction, is the answer.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Very wise words there, Paul.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15Phil...
0:31:17 > 0:31:19What have you got, my friend?
0:31:19 > 0:31:24It's a nice, old sledge. And it's just kind of rusted up enough.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- That's fun, isn't it? - It's had a modern...- Plywood seat.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- A plywood seat. - Don't show me the price yet.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- Yeah, so it's... - Don't show me the price.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34That's going to make 15 to 20 quid at auction.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Which means we've got to try and buy it for five to ten pounds.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- Yeah.- But what I like about that is that, in fact, what is it?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- '50s or '60s? Hammerite paint.- Yeah.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46It's the kind of thing that people put on display.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Or they might buy it for their kid.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51I'll leave you to have a deal with him.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54The ticket price for the sledge is £35.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Here to do the negotiating is Andy.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- I found this.- We haven't had any snow for the last two years.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Yeah. So, I mean, would you take something like £7.50 on it
0:32:03 > 0:32:05and give us a chance to make some money?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Make it eight quid.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- I'll have it then.- Yep. - Deal done.- OK.- OK, cheers.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13You can tell he's done this negotiating before.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16John and Paul are still in here somewhere.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Eh, now look.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24I don't know where Paul's gone, but I think I want to buy this.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27It's a shame rent has been crossed out.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29But obviously rates became more important.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36I think I'm going to buy this.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37Paul.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Are you there?
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Paul!
0:32:41 > 0:32:42Are you coming?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Hurry up then, Paul.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48COINS RATTLE
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- How goes it, John?- There you are. - You cracking open the piggy bank?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- You found something good? - I have, Paul.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- I thought I'd put some money in. - You've put some money in?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- What do you think? - What have you put into it?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- Well...- Let me see.- I think this would do well in the auction.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Let me see what you put into it.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04You've put in a penny more than it's worth.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08In times of post-war austerity, money boxes like this would have
0:33:08 > 0:33:11helped households keep track of their finances.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Ticket price is £12.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17I tell you what shade of green that is, that's thermos flask green.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20That's what that is. That's why it's got you.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24For me, it's not so much nostalgic as depressing.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28- You see, look, he's left an extra column that's free.- Yeah.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30And you can write your own category.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34That's for your plot at the graveyard.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Yeah, yeah, save up for your plot. Because after taxes, come death.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41John may love it, but I don't think Paul's on board yet.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44How much are we prepared to pay for this?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Well...
0:33:46 > 0:33:49I think up to £1.34.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53£1.34. I will back you all the way. I'll be behind you.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55It'll be a safe distance. It'll be that sort of...safety.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Three quid.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59A pound.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Two quid.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Hang on, why are we...?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05PAUL LAUGHS
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Not a penny more than a pound and it's yours.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Potentially, it's unsalable
0:34:10 > 0:34:11at auction.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- I'd rather cut our losses. - I'm going to prove you wrong.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17This will go for double figures.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Oh, yeah(?) Time to see Andy then.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Hello. We've found an item that we like.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Let's have a look.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- He's using that we loosely. - Ah right. I see.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Paul's not so keen.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31Look, I've got 11p there.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- I was thinking if I took a penny back...- Yes.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38That's what we would like to offer for it.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Because, as Paul rightly says, no-one's going to buy it.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- It's just, I like it. What do you think?- Well, em...
0:34:47 > 0:34:51I'm prepared to increase my offer by 1,000% and no more.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54I can do it for six pounds for you.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Pff. No, no. £1.20.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58£1.11. That's all we've got.
0:34:58 > 0:35:03I was going to say £1.20, but I can't come down to 1.11, I'm afraid.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- 1.20.- It's just too much... - Good man.- You are a good man.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Thank you very much.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11I can start saving for me funeral now.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Have you got a black marker?
0:35:13 > 0:35:14Excellent work, John.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Let's just hope it makes more than pennies at the auction.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Ooh, and he'll want a receipt, Andy.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21I'd like a receipt, please.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Told you.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- LAUGHING:- See you. - We've forgotten it.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- Don't forget that.- Bye.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Wayne is still on the hunt.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37He's uncovered some vintage advertising.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39A 1950s poster for a local dairy.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44What drew my eye to that was the fact that it's local to here,
0:35:44 > 0:35:47so to somebody that can mean quite a lot.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51It's a local dairy. It's a nice old piece of original...
0:35:51 > 0:35:52It's obviously not reproduction,
0:35:52 > 0:35:54it's a piece of original advertising.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Good spot, Wayne.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58But where is your expert?
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Do you know, there are times in your life
0:36:00 > 0:36:04when you feel totally superfluous, and this is one of them.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07I've suddenly realised that I'm in the Wayne Hemingway show.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12Indeed. With no ticket price on the poster, Wayne is back with Andy.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16I think we can probably come up with some sort of a deal on that.
0:36:16 > 0:36:1825 quid?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20I think that's coming down a bit too much.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23I was thinking I might get away with 35 for you.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Split it, 30?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26- Go on, then.- OK.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- Cheers.- OK.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32He's good at this. Wayne has got the sledge and the poster for £38.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36I think he even enjoyed his antique shop experience.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Paul and John are heading 20 miles west from Evesham
0:36:41 > 0:36:43to Birtsmorton.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47They are headed to the Royal Pigeon Racing Association
0:36:47 > 0:36:50to discover how the humble pigeon helps the Allies
0:36:50 > 0:36:52win the Second World War.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Pigeons.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55# Pigeons in flight. #
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Are you ready for the second line? - Hit me with it.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00# I want to see you tonight. #
0:37:00 > 0:37:02That's all I'm giving you at the moment.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05The peak could be too much for me.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Perhaps we could squeeze in some more singing later
0:37:07 > 0:37:13as here to tell us about our oldest domesticated bird is Stewart Wardrop.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17The first thing that strikes me, Stewart, is the sound of the cooing.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18It's very restful.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23It is indeed, yes. Behind you is a loft with almost 600 racing pigeons.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Man's relationship with the pigeon goes back centuries.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32The ancient Egyptians and Romans used pigeons for relaying messages.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Wellington's army used them at Waterloo.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38And Reuters news agency couldn't have started without the pigeon's
0:37:38 > 0:37:41famous homing instinct.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44There are various theories on their homing instinct.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Whether it's the sun, the Earth's magnetic fields, or even their
0:37:46 > 0:37:51sense of smell, it's helped pigeons travel over thousands of miles.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Stewart, you say they've got a homing instinct.- Yep.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Does this diminish when they become teenagers?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- Do you know what I mean? - LAUGHTER
0:37:58 > 0:37:59When they go off on their own.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- And then realise they can't cope and come back.- Yes, they do.- Yeah.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06When you are training pigeons, the first time you let them out,
0:38:06 > 0:38:09some of them, when you take them three or four miles
0:38:09 > 0:38:11and train them, some of them come straight back.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13But some of them are like naughty teenagers.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16They'll go off and they won't come back for a number of days.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19It was in wartime that pigeons became unlikely heroes.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22In the First World War, they had cameras strapped to them and
0:38:22 > 0:38:26were used for reconnaissance before the aeroplane took over that role.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27By the Second World War,
0:38:27 > 0:38:30they were considered essential to the war effort.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32This is a call up paper.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- This is the National Pigeon Service. - It is.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37There were a quarter of a million pigeons called up
0:38:37 > 0:38:40in the Second World War to serve with all the Allied forces,
0:38:40 > 0:38:43you know, supporting the troops.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47So these are private individuals, they've got a few
0:38:47 > 0:38:49pigeons in their loft or whatever,
0:38:49 > 0:38:51and the government writes to them saying,
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- "We're calling up your birds for National Service."- That's it, yeah.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57And you had to have a licence to be able to keep the pigeons.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59"It will be esteemed a favour
0:38:59 > 0:39:03"if you will kindly place birds on rail on 26th of April, if possible."
0:39:03 > 0:39:07They didn't just have call up papers.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09I have a...
0:39:09 > 0:39:11A ration book for a pigeon.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14THEY LAUGH
0:39:14 > 0:39:19Basically, each of the lofts were issued a ration card,
0:39:19 > 0:39:23and you went and called off your grain on a weekly or monthly basis.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25And fed your pigeons.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Then once your pigeons have been called up,
0:39:28 > 0:39:30and your pigeons have been fed,
0:39:30 > 0:39:34you have to have a way of carrying the pigeons in the aircraft.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35And this is what this was.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38This is an American military pigeon carrier.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41All bombers, all reconnaissance aircraft
0:39:41 > 0:39:42carried a box with pigeons in.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45So, basically, because of the early radios, if you were shot down,
0:39:45 > 0:39:49the navigator would get the box out, put a message on the pigeon's leg.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51And this is the message carrier.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55So the message is, "We're down and these are our coordinates."
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- Indeed, yeah.- "Come and save us."
0:39:57 > 0:40:00One of the first medals awarded to a pigeon in the Second World War
0:40:00 > 0:40:02was one of the King's pigeons called Royal Blue.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05And his message, brought home exactly like this,
0:40:05 > 0:40:08saved the lives of the whole crew of a Blenheim bomber.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Yes, pigeons were awarded medals during the war.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14In fact, the animal version of the Victoria Cross,
0:40:14 > 0:40:18called the Dickin Medal, was awarded 53 times during the war.
0:40:18 > 0:40:2132 of its winners were pigeons.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Do you think it's fair to say, without the help of the pigeon
0:40:24 > 0:40:26we would have lost the Second World War?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29It would have been considerably longer and many,
0:40:29 > 0:40:32many lives were saved through the activities of pigeons.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37After the war, pigeons went back to their previously popular
0:40:37 > 0:40:38role as sporting stars.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42It's hard to believe now, but in the 1960s and '70s
0:40:42 > 0:40:46it was pigeon races that adorned the papers' back pages,
0:40:46 > 0:40:50with over 100,000 enthusiasts regularly taking part.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Pigeon racing still has many fans, amongst them
0:40:53 > 0:40:56is our very own celebrity guest.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58I've written a song about a pigeon.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- Good. I'm looking forward to hearing it.- Yeah?
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Well, I'd like to play it for you now.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04Time for a treat.
0:41:04 > 0:41:09With one of his most successful songs, Pigeons In Flight, ladies
0:41:09 > 0:41:13and gentlemen, live from a field in Worcestershire, John Shuttleworth.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16# Pigeons in flight
0:41:16 > 0:41:20# I want to see you tonight
0:41:20 > 0:41:22# Oh, I want to hold you
0:41:22 > 0:41:24# If I may be so bold to
0:41:24 > 0:41:28# And tell you some things that you like...
0:41:28 > 0:41:30# To hear
0:41:30 > 0:41:32# Oh, my dear
0:41:32 > 0:41:34# In your ear
0:41:34 > 0:41:36# Pigeons in flight
0:41:36 > 0:41:40# I want to see you tonight
0:41:40 > 0:41:41# I want to see you
0:41:41 > 0:41:43- # To... # - MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Oof. That's a funny ending.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- THEY LAUGH - Thank you very much.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Gosh, I never thought I'd see that on a Road Trip.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55What can rivals Wayne and Phil do to match that?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58They've headed north, back to Worcester,
0:41:58 > 0:42:03but this time to an antiques shop run by the very lovely Gabrielle.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Gabrielle, lovely to see you.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- Hi, how are you?- This is Wayne. - Hello, nice to meet you.- Wayne.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10We've been buying all sorts of things
0:42:10 > 0:42:12and I haven't had too much say thus far.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14So he's going to really put me on the spot here.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16But I want to try and buy something that he likes.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18- I want to try and convert him. - Yeah, this is...
0:42:18 > 0:42:22So far on all our trips, I've been kind of pushing him to one side.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- But this is our last stop. - Yeah, right.- And his job now...
0:42:25 > 0:42:27- It's his moment. - It's his moment.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Our Phil's more than up to the task.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Ooh, a vintage toy track could be just the thing.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39I quite like this. Do you?
0:42:39 > 0:42:43I do. I've got quite a lot of this type of stuff in cupboards at home.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Gabrielle, how much is that? What's the best on that?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49That one, I would take £45.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51- It's a figure of eight, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52No, it's just an oval, isn't it?
0:42:52 > 0:42:55No, cos you've got a bridge here. Where is the bridge? There.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58In an auction, would they set it all up so people can see it?
0:42:58 > 0:42:59You're in the hands of the auctioneer.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Are people that trusting?
0:43:01 > 0:43:03When it's set up, yes, it looks beautiful.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05But if it's not set up...
0:43:05 > 0:43:07You're the expert. Not me.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Well, first things first, is it complete?
0:43:12 > 0:43:14And is it a loop or figure of eight?
0:43:15 > 0:43:18There's got to be a mathematical solution to this, doesn't there?
0:43:18 > 0:43:20I think you're right.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Yes, or you could just put it together.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24That looks like a nine to me.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27If that goes through there it doesn't work,
0:43:27 > 0:43:28it doesn't bring you back.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31- It doesn't bring you...- Oh, hold on.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33Hold on. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35Ah, he's got it.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37- That is good. - I think I've converted him.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40I have converted him.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42But it... Look.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44If it doesn't make money, it's your fault.
0:43:44 > 0:43:45Thank you so much.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47Right, I've got to pay you, Gabrielle.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49- Very good. Thank you.- Right.
0:43:49 > 0:43:53So, with Wayne convinced and no need for further negotiation,
0:43:53 > 0:43:57the deal is done. £45 for the cars and racetrack.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59- Thank you.- Bye.
0:43:59 > 0:44:00That's the shopping finished.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03And now it's time for our teams to reveal their items.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05Are you ready for this?
0:44:05 > 0:44:07Three, two, one, go!
0:44:09 > 0:44:12- Ta-da!- Ta-da indeed.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14That is so boring.
0:44:14 > 0:44:15'Don't hold back, Wayne.'
0:44:15 > 0:44:18- How can you say that's boring, Wayne?- Well, it's...
0:44:18 > 0:44:19It's beautiful.
0:44:19 > 0:44:22- I'm disappointed because I think... - That's very patronising of you.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26I think you have listened to the expert, only listened to the expert.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28What?! What?!
0:44:28 > 0:44:30I listened to my heart, Wayne.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32That's your heart. I can imagine that.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35- I like the tin! - I know you like saving coppers.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38Interestingly, that's the last item I bought.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41- New is boring.- But what's that? What's that about there?
0:44:41 > 0:44:43Well...
0:44:43 > 0:44:47- Ruskin Pottery.- It's Ruskin. - Phil understands that.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50Ruskin Pottery. And you knew a lot about Ruskin Pottery, didn't you?
0:44:50 > 0:44:51And that...
0:44:51 > 0:44:53Well, copper's in a bit, I suppose.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56Look at the funny design. It's Egyptian. Isn't it?
0:44:56 > 0:44:58LAUGHING: No.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Well, it looks Egyptian, doesn't it?
0:45:00 > 0:45:04What have you got to offer? Come on. Lift your cloth.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06- Hold on, hold on.- Goodness me!
0:45:06 > 0:45:09'There is a lot of cloth to lift.'
0:45:09 > 0:45:11- Man alive!- It's like a fairground.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14- That's what I was going to say. - How much is it to get in?
0:45:14 > 0:45:16THEY ALL LAUGH
0:45:16 > 0:45:19Wayne, my first reaction is it's very eye-catching.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21But totally unsellable.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25- What's the sell-by date on your jars? - Long since gone.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27Body parts. What is that?
0:45:27 > 0:45:30- These are over 30 years old.- What?!
0:45:30 > 0:45:32And we've got a box of them.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35- A proper full box of 30-year-old damsons.- Of course you have.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38That door needs sanding down.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41- Awful condition. - PAUL LAUGHS
0:45:41 > 0:45:44- It needs a bonfire, is what it needs. - Listen...
0:45:44 > 0:45:48The door is, you know, it's got a perfect patination on it.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51The woodworm is just the right amount of woodworm.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54Can I just say, I think this is a clue for us we've won.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56Come on, quick, quick. Off, off, off!
0:45:56 > 0:45:59See you at the car boot... I mean, the auction.
0:45:59 > 0:46:00See you at the auction.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03Get a move on.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06So what did our duos think of their rival's lots?
0:46:06 > 0:46:08What do you think? Victory roll or pigeon plop?
0:46:08 > 0:46:10How are we doing?
0:46:10 > 0:46:12Well, I think that we will win.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15Because it seems unlikely that we will.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17And often unlikely things happen.
0:46:17 > 0:46:22- That cat, it's funny, isn't it? - Yeah, sort of.
0:46:22 > 0:46:26But I think he actually thinks that cat's going to be his saviour.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29We didn't discuss the lovely painting with the porridge oats.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32They were embarrassed. They were intimidated by the picture.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35- Fine art compared to their barn doors.- Yeah.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38- You're not trying to humour me, are you, Paul?- I...
0:46:38 > 0:46:40- Do you think we've got a chance? - Yes, I do.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43- We've won, in my opinion. - You think so?- We've won, yeah.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45What a man. What a man.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47And so, to auction.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49After starting in Shropshire
0:46:49 > 0:46:52and winding their way through Worcestershire, this unconventional
0:46:52 > 0:46:57Road Trip will draw to a close in the beautiful Cotswold town of Stroud.
0:46:57 > 0:47:00They're heading towards the sometimes called
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Covent Garden of the Cotswolds,
0:47:02 > 0:47:06home to a famous farmers market and its own fringe festival.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09But today, it's all about the antiques.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11It's a lovely day, Wayne.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13You all prepared for a big defeat at the auction?
0:47:13 > 0:47:15Well...
0:47:15 > 0:47:20I'm pretty sure that I'm going to beat you by a considerable margin.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23But I have been having nightmares about the cat.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26- Have you?- The disco cat.- Well, that's because you're frightened.
0:47:26 > 0:47:30Subconsciously, you know that you are going to suffer a heavy defeat.
0:47:30 > 0:47:34I reckon it's going to fetch between...
0:47:34 > 0:47:35200 and 300.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Pence. If you're lucky.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39Ha-ha! We'll soon see.
0:47:39 > 0:47:43They're arriving at the aptly named Stroud Auctions.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47- We are here! - PAUL AND PHIL LAUGH
0:47:47 > 0:47:49You parking IN the auction room, John?
0:47:49 > 0:47:50You worry unduly.
0:47:50 > 0:47:54- How are you, my friend?- I'm really well.- It's good to see you.
0:47:54 > 0:47:59- How are you, Wayne? - I'm all right now.- In the safe zone.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01- John, how's it going?- Yeah, good.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04- Ready for the fray?- Yeah. - How are we going to do?
0:48:04 > 0:48:08- Well, I'm pretty confident. - He doesn't seem it, does he?
0:48:08 > 0:48:11I'm really worried about that sugar bowl.
0:48:11 > 0:48:12The sugar bowl has just come back to me.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14It's the disco cat that's bothering me.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16Everyone is calling it the disco cat.
0:48:16 > 0:48:19I'll take that, if they like. Disco cat. I'll take that.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Can we persuade the auctioneer to say disco cat?
0:48:21 > 0:48:23- Let's go and have a look, shall we?- Let's go.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25Come on, my friends. Come on.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27Today's auctioneer is Nick Bowkett.
0:48:27 > 0:48:32What does he think of our teams' idiosyncratic items?
0:48:32 > 0:48:35My personal favourite is the roll-a-ball.
0:48:35 > 0:48:40I think that's quite nostalgic. I think it's quite in fashion.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42And it's a little bit different.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44The Ruskin vase - Ruskin is very popular
0:48:44 > 0:48:47and we have a big following for ceramics in this auction,
0:48:47 > 0:48:51so I would think it would make £40 or £50.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53I'd see it in that sort of bracket.
0:48:53 > 0:48:57Both teams started this Road Trip with £400.
0:48:57 > 0:49:03Paul and John have spent £136.20 on six auction lots.
0:49:05 > 0:49:10Phil and Wayne also have six lots and have spent £203.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13As well as the bidders on the phone and in the room, there is
0:49:13 > 0:49:15a lot of interest online.
0:49:15 > 0:49:18So, with great expectations, let's start the auction.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21First up is John's money box.
0:49:21 > 0:49:25John did predict this would make double figures. So good luck.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Got £12 on the book. Two bids, would you believe?
0:49:28 > 0:49:29Straight in at double figures.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32- 14. 16.- Internet.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35£16. 16.
0:49:35 > 0:49:3618 on the net now.
0:49:36 > 0:49:3818's the same as me.
0:49:38 > 0:49:39£18.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42- At £18.- £1.20 you paid.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45- You've gone right red, Wayne. - GAVEL BANGS
0:49:45 > 0:49:48By my calculations, that must be one of the biggest percentage
0:49:48 > 0:49:51profits the Road Trip has ever seen. Well done, John.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56- Is that all?- I'll congratulate you on that.- Thank you very much.
0:49:56 > 0:50:00Next, it's Wayne and Phil's wooden crates.
0:50:00 > 0:50:01I can open the bidding up.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04- Conflict on the book at £35. - What?!
0:50:04 > 0:50:06£35 for the fruit crates.
0:50:06 > 0:50:0838 was with me. 40 takes me out.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Any further bids?
0:50:10 > 0:50:12At £40. Will sell.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14GAVEL BANGS
0:50:14 > 0:50:15Great profit.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18Is this a sign of a vintage-loving audience?
0:50:18 > 0:50:21I think you'll see that at the moment, I am in the lead.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23Yes, you are. Just slightly.
0:50:24 > 0:50:27Now it's Paul and John's Pears poster.
0:50:27 > 0:50:29I have a commissioned bid of ten pounds.
0:50:29 > 0:50:30Ten pounds.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32In the room!
0:50:32 > 0:50:34- Oh. Oh.- It's going up.
0:50:34 > 0:50:3612. 14 now. 14 I have.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38At 14. 16.
0:50:38 > 0:50:3918.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41£18.
0:50:41 > 0:50:4320, net bid. £20.
0:50:43 > 0:50:4822. Conflict on the net. Selling then to the net at £22.
0:50:48 > 0:50:49GAVEL BANGS
0:50:49 > 0:50:52It's a small loss, but it's still early days.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55Could've been worse. I think that's a result.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57But you lost eight pounds.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59Yes, we did.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01But we'll get it back on the next item.
0:51:03 > 0:51:07It's the door. Beautifully displayed outside the auction room.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10I can open the bidding up at five pounds.
0:51:10 > 0:51:11Five I have.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13They've got a bid.
0:51:13 > 0:51:14Five I have.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16Five pounds.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18Six, seven, ten, 12.
0:51:18 > 0:51:19Look at that!
0:51:19 > 0:51:2212 I have. £12 now.
0:51:22 > 0:51:2314. 14 in the room.
