0:00:11 > 0:00:14Their mission, to scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17All breakages must be paid for.

0:00:17 > 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 > 0:00:22GAVEL BANGS

0:00:22 > 0:00:23But it's no easy ride.

0:00:23 > 0:00:28Who will find a hidden gem? Who will take the biggest risks?

0:00:28 > 0:00:29Putting my antiques head-on.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32Will anybody follow expert advice?

0:00:32 > 0:00:34I think it's horrible!

0:00:34 > 0:00:36There will be worthy winners.

0:00:36 > 0:00:37This is better than Christmas!

0:00:37 > 0:00:39And 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 > 0:00:49Yeah...

0:00:49 > 0:00:51MUSIC: GRANDSTAND THEME TUNE

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Today we're in south-east England with a pair of super sporty pals

0:00:54 > 0:00:59cruising around in a snazzy 1989 Jaguar XJS.

0:00:59 > 0:01:04Oh, yes, it's Olympian Mark Foster and Paralympian Ade Adepitan.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10- I reckon I've known you probably about eight years, seven or eight years?- Yeah.

0:01:10 > 0:01:15- We then crossed each other's paths and did a lot more events together since 2012.- Yeah.

0:01:15 > 0:01:182012, I had to put up with you all the time. Flipping heck.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19MARK LAUGHS

0:01:19 > 0:01:23Going on about, "Oh, I was so fast in the pool. I was pacy!

0:01:23 > 0:01:24"No-one could deal with me!"

0:01:27 > 0:01:31- You were a sea person and I was a land person.- A land animal.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32We don't mix.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34MARK LAUGHS

0:01:34 > 0:01:37You with your flipping flipper feet.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41And what flippery feet they are, ha!

0:01:41 > 0:01:46During an impressive 23-year career, Essex-born swimmer Mark won

0:01:46 > 0:01:5216 world titles, competed in five Olympic games and broke eight world records.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56What was your first Olympics?

0:01:56 > 0:01:58When this car was built, about 1988.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59ADE LAUGHS

0:01:59 > 0:02:02- The Seoul Olympics in '88.- You went to Seoul!- Seoul in '88, yeah.

0:02:02 > 0:02:07- Dude went to Seoul!- I GOT "Seoul"! - Jeez, man!

0:02:07 > 0:02:08Seoul! That was in black and white!

0:02:08 > 0:02:10THEY LAUGH

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Now, I was in Sydney in 2000.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- So, how old were you, then, in 2000? - 2000, I was 26.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19I was quite old for my debut.

0:02:19 > 0:02:24Ade is a Paralympic gold medallist in wheelchair basketball,

0:02:24 > 0:02:27an actor and a TV presenter.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32Among his many awards is an MBE he received in 2005.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35In fairness, the first time I remember seeing you,

0:02:35 > 0:02:38not meeting you, would have been adverts.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40- I remember seeing all the adverts. - Oh, here we go!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Spinning around on the chair, the dreads flowing.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Yeah, that's the one!

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Do you know what? That was a BBC ONE ident.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48- I did that back in 2002.- Wow.

0:02:48 > 0:02:54And when it first came out, I thought it was only going to be something really small.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57It ended up being on 48,000 times.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Looks like today is very much a battle of land versus water.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Their guides are auctioneer Thomas Plant and dealer Mark Stacey,

0:03:07 > 0:03:12who are making their way to meet them in this bright yellow Elva Courier.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17The colour sort of doesn't go with my pink trousers today.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Nothing goes with your pink trousers, Tom.- Just because you're jealous.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Not even your shirt and jacket. - Oh, you're so cruel!

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Shaping up to be a competitive jaunt, this one.

0:03:27 > 0:03:32With £400 each to spend, our two pairs will be taking a journey around south-east England.

0:03:32 > 0:03:37Starting in Otford, Kent, they'll meander around Kent and

0:03:37 > 0:03:40West Sussex before heading to auction in Twickenham, south-west London.

0:03:45 > 0:03:50Oh, wow! Here you go! Look at these two! Lovely, lovely!

0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Hello.- It's bright.- You haven't seen his trousers yet.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55THEY LAUGH

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Go on, Mark, get out. Yeah, I've got to get out as well. Well, hurry up!

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- TOM:- I can't get out now!- Pull yourself out there.- Hello.- I'm Mark.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Nice to meet you. But you see, nothing goes with those trousers.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Thomas.- Nice to meet you. - How are you doing? Nice to meet you.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13On this trip, Ade will team up with Thomas,

0:04:13 > 0:04:15and Mark will go with Mark.

0:04:15 > 0:04:20Do you know what I'd really like to see? The big Fozzy in that car.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22That, I mean, that's made for you.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25I think it's decided, though, Mark, actually, we'll have the Jag.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Are you having the old man's car? - We're having that, yeah, yeah.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30THEY LAUGH

0:04:31 > 0:04:33- See you later.- See you later, bye-bye.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Buy some brown furniture.- Yes!- Bye!

0:04:35 > 0:04:37I hope it doesn't rain.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Right, let's go shopping. - Yes, let's do it.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46While the two Marks hit the road, Ade and Thomas's first shop is

0:04:46 > 0:04:49just around the corner at Otford Antiques.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52So, would this be your very first entry into an antiques shop?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55I think so. Yeah, yeah, this is... Do you know what?

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Already we're at an advantage against Mark,

0:04:57 > 0:05:00- cos that giant will never get into anything like that. - Yeah, absolutely.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- He'd be knocking everything down. - Yeah, 100%.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Hello!- Pleased to meet you.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Be gentle with me, this is my first time in an antiques shop.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10I'm sure you're a natural.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13- I think he is going to be a natural.- Pressure.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15THEY LAUGH

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Well, the proof is in the buying. Any tips, Thomas?

0:05:18 > 0:05:22- So, basically, there's a very simple rule...- Yes.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25You start left, and then... Honestly, it's that easy.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30You've just got to be practical, because if you scatter-gun, you'll never get anywhere.

0:05:30 > 0:05:31Sound advice.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34And Ade's already spotted something shiny -

0:05:34 > 0:05:37an intriguing interchangeable silver ring.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41So, do you want to look like a pro?

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Yeah, of course I want to look like a pro, come on.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46I will give you the magical Thomas Plant loop.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49- My eye glass, my jeweller's class.- Nice.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51I have it on a thing so I can wear it around my neck.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Right, so, you are right handed? - Yes.

0:05:54 > 0:05:55So, put that towards your right eye.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58- This way, yeah?- Yeah, or it doesn't really matter which way.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01All the way up, further up, and then you bring this bad boy all

0:06:01 > 0:06:04the way up, all the way up, further, further. It will happen.

0:06:04 > 0:06:10- Oh, yes, yes!- Then bring this really close. Closer. Closer, closer...

0:06:10 > 0:06:14- Oh, yeah. I've got it. I've got it. - And then it happens.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16- We've got some proper bling here. - THEY LAUGH

0:06:18 > 0:06:22So, how does it work, Annie? Does it flip out and then you interchange the stones?

0:06:23 > 0:06:24So, it's...

0:06:25 > 0:06:29- That levers out.- Yes, I see that. - It clicks and it just comes...

0:06:29 > 0:06:33So, it's just a little latch That's really ingenious.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37- And you take out the stone. - And then you can put any...

0:06:37 > 0:06:41- I think this is amazing. - The red ruby colour?

0:06:41 > 0:06:43The mauve colour for amethyst.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46The green for emerald and the blue for sapphire.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Do you think it might have been a reps sample once?- No.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54I think it's for people who want to change their outfit,

0:06:54 > 0:06:59- to change their clothes.- So, someone who likes to look different every day...

0:06:59 > 0:07:04- Can you imagine saying to your friends, "Oh, yeah, I've just got the ruby out today?"- Yes.

0:07:04 > 0:07:10- Matches your eyes. - I've got brown eyes, thank you. - THEY LAUGH

0:07:10 > 0:07:16- And you've got his little stones, these white pave set stones. - On the sides, yeah.

0:07:16 > 0:07:21- Yeah.- And, you know, on my sort of hairy little finger... - THEY LAUGH

0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Your hobbit hand.- Yeah, my hobbit hand, yeah, absolutely.

0:07:25 > 0:07:30- THEY IMPERSONATE:- My precious! - Schmiegel! Oh!

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Boys, are you buying, or what?

0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Let's talk about the price, because it is marked at 125.- That's correct.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41I was going to suggest...

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Do you want to do some negotiations,

0:07:43 > 0:07:46and I can sort of hold you back when you get a bit hard?

0:07:46 > 0:07:47OK. Um...

0:07:49 > 0:07:50Oh...

0:07:51 > 0:07:54I haven't done this before. Where do I go?

0:07:54 > 0:07:59I know I've thrown you at the deep end, so you ask Annie what her very best is...

0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Yes.- Don't mention her figure, though.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04So, Annie, what's your best?

0:08:04 > 0:08:05Oh, dear.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09100 is my very best.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13That's your very best? Sorry, I'm getting involved.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15I shouldn't do it.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16100.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20- It's just glass, though, isn't it? - Yes.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23How about...

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Come on, Ade, you can do it.

0:08:26 > 0:08:27Would you go lower?

0:08:32 > 0:08:36I can't do much on it because...

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Oh, you could do much! You could do so much!

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Look at this handsome man!

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Look at that.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46I said you were a natural, didn't I!

0:08:46 > 0:08:51- Seriously, I can't go any lower than 90.- 90?

0:08:51 > 0:08:57If you can go a little bit more, we can deal.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59All right, 85, and that's it.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01- So you wouldn't do 83? - Oh, dear.

0:09:01 > 0:09:0284.

0:09:05 > 0:09:0683.50.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08- What?!- All right.

0:09:08 > 0:09:13- I love this.- Yes?- Yes, OK.- Yes!

0:09:13 > 0:09:18No, no, no, no, let's have a proper hug.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22A top bit of negotiating there from antiques rooky, Ade,

0:09:22 > 0:09:27has secured the first purchase of this road trip, so well done, chaps.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Mark and Mark, meanwhile, are on the road

0:09:30 > 0:09:32and making their way to Brasted.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36What first got you into swimming?

0:09:36 > 0:09:38I learned because going back a long time,

0:09:38 > 0:09:41my father got thrown into a lake and nearly drowned.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Petrified of water and he really turned his hate into my love.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45Really?

0:09:45 > 0:09:48He used to take me to the pool on Sundays with my sisters

0:09:48 > 0:09:50and we jumped around and learned the water was fun.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Then, like you and most people, I went for swimming lessons.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55I had swimming lessons and the person who taught me

0:09:55 > 0:09:56was called Mrs Hardcastle.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59She was the mother of a girl called Sarah Hardcastle who was

0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Olympic silver and bronze medallist in the freestyle.- Gosh, really!

0:10:02 > 0:10:03So, I had the right person.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06After ten swimming lessons, she said, you're quite good,

0:10:06 > 0:10:09- why don't you go and join the team? - Wow! What did you think?

0:10:09 > 0:10:11I was six years of age...

0:10:11 > 0:10:14I loved it because I enjoyed being in the water and I was competitive.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17At the age of 11, I was the fastest swimmer in the world for my age.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18Gosh!

0:10:18 > 0:10:23I pushed and I worked hard and then Duncan Goodhew came

0:10:23 > 0:10:26to my swimming club and did a Swimalong with Goodhew one day.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29I swam with him and saw his gold medal, this shiny gold medal,

0:10:29 > 0:10:30and saw him swim and said,

0:10:30 > 0:10:33- I want to be like him, I want to go to the Olympic Games.- Wow!

0:10:33 > 0:10:36My mum was the real driving force, the inspiration was Duncan Goodhew

0:10:36 > 0:10:40and obviously my father had a part, teaching me to enjoy the water.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46Mr Stacey, it's down to you to provide some antiques inspiration.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Their first shop is Courtyard Antiques,

0:10:49 > 0:10:53where there's a rather unconventional welcome.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58We just thought you might be a little hungry on your journey

0:10:58 > 0:11:01and we have some Spanish tapas.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05I love it. Is this Manchego cheese?

0:11:05 > 0:11:09- I love Manchego cheese. Do you know Manchego cheese?- I don't.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10I would like to try some.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13What a lovely, generous gesture.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Wouldn't count on this in every shop, chaps!

0:11:18 > 0:11:24Well, Mark, here we are. Our first shop. What do you think?

0:11:24 > 0:11:28Well, I'm guessing I'm avoiding a nice piece of furniture

0:11:28 > 0:11:32- and looking at small bits and pieces?- That's a good idea.

0:11:32 > 0:11:37What does the London market like? I like Art Deco stuff.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Art Deco is quite good, depending on the name and the style of it

0:11:39 > 0:11:42- and the price we pay, of course. - Yes.

0:11:42 > 0:11:49People like sort of vintage, funky, almost one-off pieces.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52"That's a statement piece," or something.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Well, if it's a statement piece you're after...

0:11:55 > 0:11:58- What about something like this? - I say!

0:11:59 > 0:12:03- This is very attractive. - Very stylish. There's good detail.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06She's in a very typical Art Deco pose.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10With figures, the less clothes they wear, of course,

0:12:10 > 0:12:11the more popular they are.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14She's nicely modelled. Difficult to put a date on this one.

0:12:14 > 0:12:19It has got a little paper label there saying, Goldscheider.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22That's the maker, is it?

0:12:22 > 0:12:24That's the maker. They're a very famous maker of figurines.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27- German?- German. In the Art Deco period.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31This one might be more 1950s but in the Art Deco style.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34I think there's just something about her.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37So do I. With a ticket price of £150,

0:12:37 > 0:12:40the Art Deco figurine is put straight back for now.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42What else do our boys like the look of?

0:12:42 > 0:12:44This looks quite interesting.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48- What is it? - Can you see what's on there?

0:12:48 > 0:12:49What's this, do you reckon?

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Weasel or something? What is it? You can see a snake.

0:12:52 > 0:12:57- That must be a mongoose.- OK. - They're not frightened of snakes.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01They eat snakes. I think that's wonderful. What does the label say?

0:13:01 > 0:13:0419th-century white metal parasol handle,

0:13:04 > 0:13:08probably Anglo-Indian, circa 1880.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Is that something, we're buying for sale,

0:13:11 > 0:13:14is that something someone would use and put a parasol on it or

0:13:14 > 0:13:16a walking stick on it, do you think they would use it?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18That's a very good question.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21I think there's a lot of people who collect novelty walking canes

0:13:21 > 0:13:25and handles. This is just such a whacky handle to have.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I've never seen one like it.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29We could try to get someone like Rory McIlroy

0:13:29 > 0:13:31to put it on the end of one of his clubs.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34There we are, you see, I'm sure he's a good friend of yours.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37There's nothing wrong with giving him the date of the auction!

0:13:37 > 0:13:40But I think that, photographed properly on the internet,

0:13:40 > 0:13:43would attract interest throughout the world, actually.

0:13:43 > 0:13:48Ticket price is £155. Is there a deal to be done with Hugh?

0:13:50 > 0:13:55- We'd love to try and get it down a bit if you can.- A lot!

0:13:55 > 0:14:00Well, I'm afraid the best I can do on it for you would be 130.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02- 130?- Yes.

0:14:02 > 0:14:03Gosh!

0:14:03 > 0:14:06It's getting close to where I wanted to be really.

0:14:06 > 0:14:12- Is that even before I say nice things about you?- Yes, probably!

0:14:12 > 0:14:16- If you make me grow a few inches, I'll feel better!- Or I'll shrink!

0:14:16 > 0:14:18- Yes, that's better!- 120 now!

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Or maybe offer some swimming lessons or something!

0:14:23 > 0:14:28- I could do with some swimming lessons.- Doggy paddle, yeah?

0:14:28 > 0:14:30I just think it's lovely.

0:14:33 > 0:14:37- We couldn't get it down to 120? - No, but I'll tell you what.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40I do know this dealer. Another fiver off.

0:14:40 > 0:14:41- 125?- Yes.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43I think that's a deal for you.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Thomas will absolutely love it. - Does he?

0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Thanks.- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much indeed.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52I much preferred you being down there, you know!

0:14:53 > 0:14:55So, that's their first item bought

0:14:55 > 0:14:58and it looks like the Marks are on a roll.

0:14:58 > 0:15:02I wanted to show you something here that I found earlier.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08I know it's only a vase but it's a big piece.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10It's quite a big lump, isn't it?

0:15:10 > 0:15:11It is but I like the colour.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15It's very simplistic, the style, isn't it?

0:15:15 > 0:15:19This is not old, Mark. What is it priced at? £55.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23I think if it's something you like, you ought to have a word with him.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Right, boys, time to do a deal.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29We've gone from Mark's small piece to my large piece.

0:15:29 > 0:15:34- Which is quite appropriate, really! - Yes.- And it matches his shirt.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37But, I mean, it's modestly priced

0:15:37 > 0:15:41but, of course, not quite modestly enough for us.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44I can't really do much off, I'm afraid. I'm sorry.

0:15:44 > 0:15:51- And you have set your heart on it? - I know, we put it on £25.- Yes.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53Hugh's not laughing, Mark.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56When you say there's nothing, there's nothing?

0:15:56 > 0:16:00- Or there's a tiny amount? - It's...a fiver, really.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06I like it, I like the colour. I think it's a nice piece.

0:16:06 > 0:16:11- I think we should take it.- Well, I think you should shake hands.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Thank you very much indeed.

0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Well, we were doing so well. - Yes, we were, weren't we?

0:16:17 > 0:16:18Two down.

0:16:18 > 0:16:24I think we've earned a little bit of light refreshment. Come on.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28He's not kidding either. Hey, save some for me, chaps!

0:16:30 > 0:16:31Mark, time to refuel.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Do you think the other team are getting lunch made for them?

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Not like this. I've ever had lunch made before.

0:16:37 > 0:16:38It's wonderful, isn't it?

0:16:38 > 0:16:39And we've got two items.

0:16:41 > 0:16:46Ade and Thomas are back on the road, making their way to East Grinstead.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48I used to live there.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51So, Ade, tell me about basketball.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53When did you start playing?

0:16:55 > 0:16:58Oh, I'm going to start feeling old now.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02I started playing wheelchair basketball when I was 12.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04I was spotted by some physiotherapists

0:17:04 > 0:17:08who were based in East London and I was being raced

0:17:08 > 0:17:12through the streets by my mates in a Tesco's shopping trolley,

0:17:12 > 0:17:15seemingly because I couldn't keep up with them

0:17:15 > 0:17:19when I was walking on my callipers and we thought the best way for me

0:17:19 > 0:17:22to get from A to B was to jump in a shopping trolley

0:17:22 > 0:17:24and they spotted me.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27They pulled up in this Sunshine Variety bus and they said,

0:17:27 > 0:17:29how would you like to play wheelchair basketball?

0:17:29 > 0:17:34I looked at him and said what? What is that all about?!

0:17:34 > 0:17:36I had never heard of it before and they took me

0:17:36 > 0:17:38to a place called Stoke Mandeville.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Yeah, we've all heard of Stoke Mandeville.- Exactly.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42I saw the junior games,

0:17:42 > 0:17:45I saw some guys from the Great Britain Wheelchair Basketball Team.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47They had the biggest muscles in the world I'd ever seen

0:17:47 > 0:17:50and they were in these cool wheelchairs and I thought,

0:17:50 > 0:17:52yeah, that is the sport for me.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Are you still a player?

0:17:54 > 0:17:56In what sense?

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Basketball!

0:17:58 > 0:18:01With a car like this, we're both players, bruv!

0:18:01 > 0:18:03We're both in the game!

0:18:06 > 0:18:10East Grinstead is renowned for the work of an inspirational doctor.

0:18:10 > 0:18:14His ground-breaking techniques in plastic surgery at the town's

0:18:14 > 0:18:18Queen Victoria Hospital helped transform the lives of thousands

0:18:18 > 0:18:22of Allied Air Force personnel during the Second World War.

0:18:22 > 0:18:28Ade and Thomas have come to meet local expert Bob Marchant.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Could you tell us about the Queen Victoria Hospital

0:18:30 > 0:18:32and its role during the war?

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Yeah, the Queen Victoria Hospital was set up by the

0:18:35 > 0:18:36Emergency Medical Service.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39It was envisioned that there was going to be quite

0:18:39 > 0:18:42a lot of aerial injuries coming from the Second World War,

0:18:42 > 0:18:45so the Emergency Medical Service set up these

0:18:45 > 0:18:48units around the country and East Grinstead was one.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51It was designated to look after the Air Force casualties.

0:18:51 > 0:18:56What sort of types of injuries did they have to deal with?

0:18:56 > 0:19:00Mainly they were head and neck flash burns, if you like, in the hands.

0:19:00 > 0:19:04Was there a particular doctor who arrived on the scene to give us

0:19:04 > 0:19:06the specialist knowledge?

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Yeah, this is where Archibald McIndoe came in, because

0:19:09 > 0:19:13he was a civilian consultant to the Air Force for plastic surgery.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15So they drafted him in to look after the unit

0:19:15 > 0:19:18and it would be all RAF casualties.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22As war continued, limited resources meant that the focus

0:19:22 > 0:19:26was on saving lives, rather than rehabilitation.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29The future was very bleak for young airmen returning

0:19:29 > 0:19:31with these types of injuries.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35But McIndoe felt strongly about addressing these difficult issues.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39They were returning with really bad facial injuries,

0:19:39 > 0:19:42burn injuries with their flesh burnt away.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44Bad hands as well, because they weren't wearing

0:19:44 > 0:19:47their gloves properly.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50So the main part of their body was the face and hands.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53McIndoe could see that these were going to be the first areas

0:19:53 > 0:19:57the general public, if you like, would see.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01So there was a real need to reconstruct those areas quickly.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Would you describe him as bit of a maverick?

0:20:03 > 0:20:07Oh, yes, he was, yeah. He wanted to do things his way, obviously.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10You know, he had great ideas.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12But the other thing, he had the vision as well.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15It wasn't only the burns and the injuries

0:20:15 > 0:20:17that you've got to treat these chaps for,

0:20:17 > 0:20:19you've got to treat psychologically as well.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21I noticed a little clipping that said,

0:20:21 > 0:20:25"East Grinstead, the town which didn't stare."

0:20:25 > 0:20:27Yeah, that's right, yeah.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31He had all these young chaps and surgery was taking

0:20:31 > 0:20:34quite a length of time in-between operations.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37So he got them out into the local community.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40McIndoe went out to the local community and said,

0:20:40 > 0:20:43"I'm going to send these chaps out.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45"They got their injuries through fighting for you,

0:20:45 > 0:20:47"if you like, unfortunately.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49"Please accept them in the town.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51"Please accept them as they are and don't stare at them."

0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Really forward-thinking, isn't it? - Forward-thinking.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58And this was another way that McIndoe brought the local

0:20:58 > 0:21:01community in, if you like, and looked at their future.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05So he didn't only repair their injuries,

0:21:05 > 0:21:07he was repairing their minds as well.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10It was during this time that McIndoe chanced upon

0:21:10 > 0:21:14an unusual discovery that was to change the world of medicine.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18McIndoe found that the airmen that were bailing out

0:21:18 > 0:21:21and landed on the sea, their burns were a little bit different

0:21:21 > 0:21:23than if you landed on land.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27So he devised a saltwater treatment because he said it was

0:21:27 > 0:21:30the sudden immersion of saltwater that did this treatment.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33He then also got this technique into the other RAF hospitals

0:21:33 > 0:21:35that he had control over.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38So even the ones that couldn't come to East Grinstead,

0:21:38 > 0:21:43they were getting the same sort of treatment as he was developing.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46There was very little precedent for the work

0:21:46 > 0:21:47that McIndoe was attempting,

0:21:47 > 0:21:51much of it being by trial and error.

0:21:51 > 0:21:55Do you think he and all his patients had a sense of how

0:21:55 > 0:21:57ground-breaking what they were doing was?

0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Oh, yeah, I think they did. - It must have been terribly exciting.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04They could see that nothing else was being done like this.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06They were only 18, 19 or 20.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08They said he really didn't know what he was doing.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11"He is just practising on us. We're just a load of guinea pigs."

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Wow.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17It was this true British grit in the face of adversity that

0:22:17 > 0:22:19led to the formation of the now legendary

0:22:19 > 0:22:20Guinea Pig Club.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22So what was the Guinea Pig Club?

0:22:22 > 0:22:27The Guinea Pig Club was formed in 1941 as a drinking club, really.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29They could see...

0:22:29 > 0:22:31- A good British tradition. - A good British tradition.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34They all could see that this was going to be a long transition to

0:22:34 > 0:22:36get back into society as well.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39So the formed this group of themselves.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42The extraordinary thing about these pictures, when you

0:22:42 > 0:22:45look at all of these faces, most of these chaps would have probably

0:22:45 > 0:22:48thought that when they sustained those injuries that that was it.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Yeah.- That was it.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53They were never going to have normal lives again.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56- And McIndoe changed that. - He changed it all.

0:22:56 > 0:23:01It was really the first patient self-support group, really.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04It was formed by the patients for the patients.

0:23:04 > 0:23:09The fascinating thing about this is, you know, war is so negative

0:23:09 > 0:23:12and the damage it does to societies, but from it

0:23:12 > 0:23:15comes people like McIndoe and then

0:23:15 > 0:23:20Ludwig Guttmann did the same thing for paraplegics at Stoke Mandeville.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22There is so much positivity.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25It is happening now with people coming out of Afghanistan.

0:23:25 > 0:23:30They say surgery develops through war, unfortunately,

0:23:30 > 0:23:32and the techniques through war.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36What we are seeing coming back now into this country from Afghanistan

0:23:36 > 0:23:40is changing the whole aspect of accident and emergency work.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42But McIndoe had the vision.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45He'd got to look at these chaps psychologically.

0:23:45 > 0:23:50In 1947 Sir Archibald McIndoe was knighted for his work.

0:23:50 > 0:23:56Sadly, he passed away in 1960 aged just 59.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00McIndoe's incredible legacy lives on, not only through the Guinea Pig Club,

0:24:00 > 0:24:03whose existing members still meet today, but also in the type

0:24:03 > 0:24:06of life-changing surgery that he helped to create.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11And on that uplifting note,

0:24:11 > 0:24:15we say toodle-pip to the first day of the trip.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Nighty-night, guys.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24The next morning our celebrities are back on the road

0:24:24 > 0:24:27and preparing for the shopping day ahead.

0:24:27 > 0:24:28What fun.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32# Ha...

0:24:32 > 0:24:33# Hallelujah.. #

0:24:33 > 0:24:35# Haaaa... #

0:24:35 > 0:24:38Buy me, buy me, buy me! Have some of that!

0:24:38 > 0:24:40THEY LAUGH

0:24:40 > 0:24:41Yeah!

0:24:41 > 0:24:45And it looks like our experts are raring to go, too.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47I am thoroughly looking forward to today.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49I'm up, I'm ready, I'm in the yellow banana.

0:24:51 > 0:24:52I'm clashing with the colours.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55- I love this car.- Do you?

0:24:55 > 0:24:58- I love this car. It's a proper car. - Well, I love...

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Well, that's because you're, sort of, old, isn't it?

0:25:01 > 0:25:03Right, pull yourself together, you two,

0:25:03 > 0:25:06your sporting heroes are waiting.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09You'd find it difficult to clash with that car,

0:25:09 > 0:25:11but you've done it.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Thomas, that's what I'm talking about.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15THEY LAUGH

0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Mark, how are you?- I'm good.

0:25:18 > 0:25:19Nice to see you.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22- How's it going, Ade? - Winning team, come on, come on!

0:25:22 > 0:25:27- Dressed to kill.- Absolutely.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30So far the Marks have bought two lots, the 19th parasol handle,

0:25:30 > 0:25:32and the contemporary Chinese vase.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35They have £225 left to spend.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38See you later, bye-bye.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43Ade and Thomas, meanwhile, have bought just one lot so far,

0:25:43 > 0:25:45the silver interchangeable ring,

0:25:45 > 0:25:49which means they still have a massive £316.50 to play with.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52For their first shop of the day,

0:25:52 > 0:25:57Ade and Thomas are making their way to Chart Sutton, in Kent.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59What do you think of my haggling skills?

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Do you think I went in too hard on the 50 pence?

0:26:01 > 0:26:04No, I don't think so. I thought that was brilliant. I loved it

0:26:04 > 0:26:07because you got that little bit off and that little bit might save us.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Let's just go hard.- Go hard!

0:26:09 > 0:26:13- Go hard or go home. - That's it. That is the phrase.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15That is such the phrase.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20We've got tactics here.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23What's this shop like?

0:26:23 > 0:26:24Is it...

0:26:24 > 0:26:29The fellas' first shop of the day is Chart Sutton Antiques Centre.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31- What have you done? - I've broken the door.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34- What are you doing? - No, no, no, that's it.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36You free, you're free, you're free.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Thank goodness for that as there's buying to be done.

0:26:39 > 0:26:44With 25 dealers under one roof, this space is bursting with potential.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Oh, look, look!

0:26:46 > 0:26:48What have you seen? What have you seen?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50- I've seen Mark.- You've seen Mark.

0:26:50 > 0:26:51Mark with a moustache.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53He would look like that, wouldn't he?

0:26:53 > 0:26:55That's what she would look like.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57Time to get serious, chaps.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01A photograph album. It's what they did back in the day.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03I love that. That's so cool.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06- Open it up and have a look.- It's so heavy, as well.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09- It's so heavy as well.- It is heavy. Leather-bound.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11- Beautifully gilded.- Look at that.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14Hand-painted and photographs in there.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16- That's amazing. - You like that, do you?

0:27:16 > 0:27:20- It is pretty cool.- It is cool, isn't it? It is lovely.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Look at her on the bicycle. That is a lovely shot, isn't it?

0:27:22 > 0:27:25It is. It's got spokey dokeys.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Victorian. So you're thinking photography,

0:27:28 > 0:27:30a relatively recent invention from about 1840.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Staged... They all look quite serious.- Very serious!

0:27:35 > 0:27:37We've progressed from this to selfie sticks.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40Selfie... Yeah, absolutely.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43- What do you think of this then? - I quite like it.

0:27:43 > 0:27:47- I like the way you reacted to it. - I like it.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50- I like that. It's a good thing. - How much is it?- £65.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54- OK.- You know what you're like.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56- You've been there. - Shall we keep hold of that?

0:27:56 > 0:27:58Let's keep hold of that.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00So that's one potential buy.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Now, what about a WMF vase?

0:28:03 > 0:28:05That's quite a nice vase, isn't it?

0:28:05 > 0:28:07- What do you think of that? - Yeah, it looks shiny.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09It is shiny, isn't it?

0:28:09 > 0:28:13- I've got the top hat on again.- You love that.- Like the Artful Dodger.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Beautiful.- Feel the weight of that.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19- Oh, wow, that is...- Turn it over.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21- It's nice.- This... how old do you think it is?

0:28:23 > 0:28:26- It doesn't look that old. - It doesn't, does it?

0:28:26 > 0:28:27It looks '70s, maybe.

0:28:27 > 0:28:31- '70s? Maybe even- '80s. Do you like that? Even- '80s? Yeah.

0:28:31 > 0:28:36What would you say if I told you that this was 1910?

0:28:38 > 0:28:391910?!

0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Shut the front door. - Yeah! Shut the front door.

0:28:42 > 0:28:43Close it tight.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46It is quite reasonable as well. 58 quid.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49- And we can do a bit more on that. - I reckon we could, yeah.

0:28:49 > 0:28:52Time to have a word with Carol.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Now, we've got ourselves an album. - Right.- An old album.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01- So have a look at that. - And the question is...

0:29:01 > 0:29:03What's your best?

0:29:03 > 0:29:06- How did I guess? - We've also got this vase here.

0:29:06 > 0:29:10- Lovely Victorian...- What's your best, or what's your worst?

0:29:10 > 0:29:13..photo album. I can do 58.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16I think 58 is a bit steep.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19- Still going to be too much for you, is it?- BOTH: Yeah.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21Well, usual thing, it's not mine.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23So what we'll need to do is ring the dealer

0:29:23 > 0:29:25and see what we can do for you. OK?

0:29:25 > 0:29:28- OK.- And something else as well?

0:29:28 > 0:29:32Obviously, I'm just carrying this for fun.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34He needs the exercise.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36Price. 58.

0:29:36 > 0:29:41Again, without a phone call it's going to be 52.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43- Oh, we need to make some calls. - Make some calls.

0:29:43 > 0:29:45So it sounds like phone calls are in order.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48As luck would have it, both items come from the same dealer.

0:29:48 > 0:29:51The combined price is £110.

0:29:51 > 0:29:55Ade, you're up!

0:29:55 > 0:29:58How about 90?

0:29:58 > 0:30:00I mean, we will take them both off your hands

0:30:00 > 0:30:03and they'll go to a great home.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05And we love them.

0:30:05 > 0:30:09People will know that you are a wonderful person.

0:30:09 > 0:30:10We have...

0:30:10 > 0:30:13We've got to beat the other team. We've got to beat Mark Foster.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17He's a swimmer. You know, don't worry about swimmers. Come on.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21Oh, Fiona, you're a superstar!

0:30:21 > 0:30:2390.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26Yes?

0:30:26 > 0:30:29- Fiona, thank you very much. - Thank you. Thank you so much.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34Ade's really getting the hang of things.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36A great deal done for the album and the WMF vase.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39Taking a break from shopping, the two Marks

0:30:39 > 0:30:41have made their way to Rochester.

0:30:41 > 0:30:45They've come to the Huguenot Museum to learn about the first mass

0:30:45 > 0:30:47influx of refugees into Britain

0:30:47 > 0:30:52and the lasting effect they've had on British society.

0:30:52 > 0:30:56In 1685, Louis XIV ended religious freedom in France,

0:30:56 > 0:31:00ruling that you must be Catholic to live there.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03This meant that French Protestants, also known as Huguenots,

0:31:03 > 0:31:06were forced to make a difficult decision.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09Here to explain more is museum director Hannah Kay.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12So what did they do?

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Well, the choices were actually very stark.

0:31:14 > 0:31:18You either converted and became a Catholic, or you were persecuted.

0:31:18 > 0:31:22- So they basically fled here? - Well, it's not quite that simple.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24It was actually, at times, illegal to leave France

0:31:24 > 0:31:27if you were a Huguenot.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29Many did make the illegal escape to England,

0:31:29 > 0:31:32but many did also convert.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35There were around half a million Huguenots

0:31:35 > 0:31:37living in France at the time.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40Many took the risk of hiding their faith from the authorities.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44This Bible has a really unique story.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46- It's actually from the late 1500s.- Wow.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50It's a family Bible and it belonged to the Fasquest family.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53In the back and front of the Bible are lists of the births, marriages

0:31:53 > 0:31:55and deaths of the family.

0:31:55 > 0:31:56It was very, very precious.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59I don't know if you can see around the edges of this book?

0:31:59 > 0:32:01- Yes, I can.- Those are watermarks.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04And that's because it was baked inside a loaf of bread to hide

0:32:04 > 0:32:06- it from the government soldiers. - Gosh.- Wow.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09It was so precious to the family that they wanted

0:32:09 > 0:32:11to hide it and keep it safe.

0:32:11 > 0:32:15Some Huguenots did make the difficult decision to escape.

0:32:15 > 0:32:20In the 1680s about 180,000 made their break for freedom,

0:32:20 > 0:32:2350,000 of whom ended up in Britain.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26When the Huguenots settled in this country,

0:32:26 > 0:32:30they created lots of organisations to help them establish a community.

0:32:30 > 0:32:34They had a strong sense of family and of helping each other.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36They created... They built French churches,

0:32:36 > 0:32:39and a French school in Westminster.

0:32:39 > 0:32:43The museum has many objects that relate to those early organisations.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46We have these beautiful battered pewter tankards that were

0:32:46 > 0:32:49used by the early inmates of the French Hospital,

0:32:49 > 0:32:52which was established to help Huguenot refugees

0:32:52 > 0:32:54and the early descendants.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57If you come round, I can show you some more of our collections

0:32:57 > 0:33:01which help to illustrate the array of crafts and trades and professions

0:33:01 > 0:33:04and skills that the Huguenots brought with them to this country.

0:33:04 > 0:33:08They were wood-turners, silk-weavers, glass-makers,

0:33:08 > 0:33:10apothecaries, doctors...

0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Silversmith, of course. - And, of course, Silversmiths.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15Silver and goldsmithing was one of the trades that the

0:33:15 > 0:33:17absolutely excelled in.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21This object is a beautifully worked gold chatelaine.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23It's from the early 1700s.

0:33:23 > 0:33:27- It was made by a goldsmith called Francis Harache.- Wonderful.

0:33:27 > 0:33:28He was a very important goldsmith.

0:33:28 > 0:33:33His family came over in the 1680s to escape persecution.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35It's a really good example of how

0:33:35 > 0:33:38French design influenced British design.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40This influx of French Huguenots,

0:33:40 > 0:33:45they brought with them French style for furniture, textiles

0:33:45 > 0:33:47and luxury goods, such as this.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50When the Huguenots fled to Britain, around half of them

0:33:50 > 0:33:54settled in London, which was a huge influx in comparison

0:33:54 > 0:33:58to the population levels in London at that time.

0:33:58 > 0:34:02It is estimated by academics that if you take those population figures,

0:34:02 > 0:34:04there would probably be about

0:34:04 > 0:34:06one in six people in Britain today

0:34:06 > 0:34:08- who has Huguenot blood in their veins.- Really?

0:34:08 > 0:34:10- As many as that?- Yeah.

0:34:10 > 0:34:13And the Huguenots were Britain's first refugees.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16They brought the word refugee into the English language with them.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18- Did they?- Yep.

0:34:18 > 0:34:22Huguenots have made a huge contribution to British

0:34:22 > 0:34:24society over the centuries and, according to the museum,

0:34:24 > 0:34:28descendants include the writer Daphne du Maurier,

0:34:28 > 0:34:31Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards

0:34:31 > 0:34:33and, perhaps most famous of all,

0:34:33 > 0:34:36actor Laurence Olivier.

0:34:37 > 0:34:41Back on the road, Ade and Thomas have made their way to Teynham and

0:34:41 > 0:34:44Wildwinds Antiques and Collectables.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49GONG

0:34:49 > 0:34:52Let the games begin!

0:34:52 > 0:34:55Everything's gone off. All the clocks.

0:34:55 > 0:34:57What's going on?

0:34:57 > 0:35:00Housing 12 traders in three rooms,

0:35:00 > 0:35:04they should easily find something smashing to take to auction.

0:35:04 > 0:35:06So far we have bought quite small things.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Yeah, and we need something that says, "Ta-da!"

0:35:08 > 0:35:10Yep, ta-da!

0:35:10 > 0:35:12What about this model of our illustrious HMS Victory?

0:35:12 > 0:35:16Nelson's flagship. What a statement.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18- I like it.- Yeah? I don't think it's that old.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20- It's made out of ply, look.- Yes.

0:35:20 > 0:35:23You see it's not that old but it would have taken somebody

0:35:23 > 0:35:25some time to make it.

0:35:25 > 0:35:30- Do you think Victory will give us victory?- Victory.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33- We need to work on that.- Yeah.

0:35:33 > 0:35:37- 150.- (150. We've got about a couple of hundred quid, haven't we?)

0:35:37 > 0:35:40What would you take that down to? What do you reckon?

0:35:40 > 0:35:44(Well, we'll try and get it down to two figures.)

0:35:44 > 0:35:46If you want that much off,

0:35:46 > 0:35:50you'd better get on the blower and talk to the owner direct.

0:35:53 > 0:35:5590 quid.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57You wouldn't do 80?

0:36:00 > 0:36:02What about 83.50?

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Only because... Yes?

0:36:09 > 0:36:12What's that? As long as we make some money for you, 83.50.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15- You're happy with that? Boom!- Boom!

0:36:15 > 0:36:17THEY LAUGH

0:36:17 > 0:36:19Right, you've got a sale. Thanks a lot.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22Cheers, bye.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24- Dude.- We've done that.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26No, fist pump. There you go.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30- What's this?! What's this?! - Get all complicated!

0:36:30 > 0:36:33- It's getting all complicated. - 83.50.- £83 and 50 pence.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36Just like you did! Just like you did!

0:36:36 > 0:36:39You're liking the 50 pence! Come on.

0:36:39 > 0:36:43The boys have still got £226.50 in their pockets

0:36:43 > 0:36:48and it looks like some colourful glassware has caught their eye.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51- What we could do is build up a lot.- A collection.- A collection.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54We could build up a lot of all of these wonderful Whitefriars.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57London made...

0:36:57 > 0:37:00- What, and sell them altogether? - Sell them as a lot.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02We could do something like that.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04Like tangerine, willow pattern,

0:37:04 > 0:37:06amethyst, frosted, dwarf candlesticks.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08We could do that or get tumblers or we could...

0:37:08 > 0:37:11- You know, we got enough money here...- Yeah.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13..to really play around with.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16- That's Whitefriars again, this one here.- That's nice.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18- That's cool, isn't it? - It's really clean, isn't it?

0:37:18 > 0:37:23- It's clean, isn't it? - It would look nice on a table.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Can't we get a couple of these? - Yeah, we've got more money, you see.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28- We got so much money. - Yeah, well, let's do that.

0:37:28 > 0:37:32Let's get as many of these as we can with the clear.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35- But there is also that vase there.- Right, OK, you like the blue?

0:37:35 > 0:37:38That is by James Powell and Sons and that's...

0:37:38 > 0:37:41Look at his knowledge.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43So much knowledge from that brain!

0:37:43 > 0:37:47Stop! So this is by somebody called James Powell and Sons.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50- James Powell and Sons became Whitefriars.- Ah!

0:37:50 > 0:37:54- So they're the same...? - This is earlier.- Yes.- This is 1930s.

0:37:54 > 0:37:58- They call it optic moulded.- It's beautiful.- It's cool, isn't it?

0:37:58 > 0:38:00Yeah. Right, will it sell?

0:38:00 > 0:38:03It sells but you've got to buy it at the right price.

0:38:03 > 0:38:07They've decided to try and go for a job lot,

0:38:07 > 0:38:09for the colourful Whitefriars candlesticks,

0:38:09 > 0:38:13the James Powell blue glass vase and the clear Whitefriars vase.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16Dealer Richard's ready to negotiate.

0:38:16 > 0:38:19So what's the damage as it stands, Thomas?

0:38:19 > 0:38:21Let me see the figure. Oh!

0:38:21 > 0:38:25Oh! (204!)

0:38:26 > 0:38:29Now, we've got not very much money left.

0:38:30 > 0:38:34Why are you making that face for?!

0:38:34 > 0:38:38- Come on, give us a figure.- 140.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42- What do you reckon?- Ah, 140.

0:38:42 > 0:38:46- Is that the best price? - I can't go any less than that.

0:38:46 > 0:38:49- I mean it's a good...- Price. - Good, sort of...

0:38:49 > 0:38:52- That would be the most expensive thing we've got.- Two lots, though.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55It is.

0:38:55 > 0:38:56Come on, then. Let's do it.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59Let's not dither. Hold on, hold on do that again.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01Handshake.

0:39:01 > 0:39:02DONG!

0:39:02 > 0:39:05- That's it.- It's on.- You're a star.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07Come on, I need a handshake. Don't leave me hanging.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09- Don't leave me hanging. - Again, again! Ready!- Wait.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12DONG!

0:39:12 > 0:39:14- I love it.- Right, that's it.

0:39:14 > 0:39:15Yes, let's get the dosh out.

0:39:17 > 0:39:22That's a total spend of £223.50,

0:39:22 > 0:39:24bagging the HMS Victory model,

0:39:24 > 0:39:28the glassware that they intend to split into two separate lots,

0:39:28 > 0:39:30one for the vases and one for the candlesticks.

0:39:33 > 0:39:37Meanwhile, the two Marks are making their way to Faversham

0:39:37 > 0:39:40and their final shop, Squires Antiques,

0:39:40 > 0:39:44to see what Conon and his mother Ann have on offer.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49There's a tiny little cigarette lighter there, which is a bit rare.

0:39:49 > 0:39:52- The smallest cigarette lighter in the world.- Oh, my gosh.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55That is tiny, isn't it?

0:39:55 > 0:39:57That's most unusual.

0:39:57 > 0:40:00I don't know why on Earth you'd have one that small.

0:40:00 > 0:40:05I guess back then people didn't have big pockets on their handbags

0:40:05 > 0:40:08- to put these things in. - Possibly not, no.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11- It would be a bit of a faff to light your cigarette with it.- Very true.

0:40:11 > 0:40:13You'd have to be lighting it out of the wind.

0:40:13 > 0:40:17With a ticket price of £65, what kind of a deal can Conon do?

0:40:20 > 0:40:23So on the lighter, the best price would be?

0:40:23 > 0:40:25I really need 55 for it.

0:40:25 > 0:40:29But I would do a little bit better on that.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31I can lose another fiver.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34Oh, gosh. Well, I think... I will tell you what I'm going to do, Mark.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36- I think we should go with the lighter.- Mm-hm.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39And you really couldn't do that for 50?

0:40:39 > 0:40:41- He said 50.- Oh, you said 50?

0:40:41 > 0:40:44- You can have that 50, yeah. - Oh, I meant 45.

0:40:44 > 0:40:48- You really can't do that for 45? - Yeah.- You can?- Yeah.

0:40:48 > 0:40:53- Thank you.- Thanks, Conon.- You're welcome.- Thanks very much indeed.

0:40:53 > 0:40:58With that deal done they still have £180 in their pocket.

0:40:58 > 0:41:02And with yesterday's Art Deco lady still playing on their minds,

0:41:02 > 0:41:06they've called Hugh to see if he'll go lower than the £150 ticket price.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11The very, very, very best will be 95.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14Very, very, very best with 95.

0:41:14 > 0:41:15Yeah.

0:41:15 > 0:41:18Are you sure you couldn't do it for 90, Hugh?

0:41:18 > 0:41:19No, sorry.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21No, 95.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23- I think we would be happy. - I think we'll take it, yeah.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25- We'd like to take it, if we can.- Thanks very much, Hugh.

0:41:25 > 0:41:28- Thanks very much indeed. - All right, then.- Bye.

0:41:28 > 0:41:29- Bye.- Bye.

0:41:30 > 0:41:33- That's a result. - That has completely shocked me.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35- 95.- 95 quid.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39- That is awesome.- That's it, we're done, Mark. It's over.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41- You see profit, don't you? - I hope so.

0:41:41 > 0:41:44- I've not seen them smile so much all week.- It's trapped wind.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49Hey, and on that lovely thought, they're all bought up.

0:41:49 > 0:41:52Time for a bit of show and tell.

0:41:55 > 0:41:59- So have you had an amazing time? - Amazing.- I've had a brilliant time.

0:41:59 > 0:42:00I've enjoyed it. I've loved it.

0:42:00 > 0:42:04I'm going to love it even more when I see the pure chintz that you have.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06Is that your new word?

0:42:06 > 0:42:08BOTH: Chintz.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Right, enough hilarity. On with the serious business.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13Da-da-da-da!

0:42:13 > 0:42:15Behold! Behold!

0:42:15 > 0:42:18- I love the box. What's the box? Would you show us?- I'd love to.

0:42:18 > 0:42:23An interchangeable ring with all those stones.

0:42:23 > 0:42:24Look at that!

0:42:24 > 0:42:26- Look at that!- That's fabulous.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28I can see it sparkling in your eyes, guys.

0:42:28 > 0:42:31Did you find that in Wendy house or something?

0:42:31 > 0:42:33- No, that's actually very nice. - It is very, very nice.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35I'm trying to knock it, though.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37That was £83.50.

0:42:37 > 0:42:39£83 and 50 pence.

0:42:39 > 0:42:43- That could do very well.- It's a cool thing.- That could do 84.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45Cheeky!

0:42:45 > 0:42:48What about Victory? It will lead us to the promised land.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51I think it has already sunk, isn't it?

0:42:51 > 0:42:54No, no, with Nelson on there.

0:42:55 > 0:42:57Now for the Marks to reveal their hoard.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59Oh, what have we got?

0:42:59 > 0:43:01We've got three items.

0:43:01 > 0:43:03We can't see anything. I need a magnifying glass.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06Where's that glass that you've got?

0:43:06 > 0:43:09- It does look a little bit skewed here, doesn't it?- Bring the loupe.

0:43:09 > 0:43:12- Ade, have you been using that loupe?- Yeah, of course he has.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15Still cat see anything. Still can't see anything.

0:43:15 > 0:43:18Let's have a look. What have we got? It's just three things?!

0:43:18 > 0:43:22No, we have got one more thing but we had to do a little phone deal.

0:43:22 > 0:43:23Oh!

0:43:23 > 0:43:26- And it's being collected tomorrow. - It's being collected!- Yep.

0:43:26 > 0:43:28What is it?

0:43:28 > 0:43:29It's an Art Deco lady.

0:43:29 > 0:43:33- An Art Deco lady. - Can I have look at the cane handle?

0:43:33 > 0:43:35- Tell us about it. - This looks quite cool.

0:43:35 > 0:43:38This looks like a parasol or cane handle.

0:43:38 > 0:43:41- God, that looks nice quality.- It is lovely quality.

0:43:41 > 0:43:42That does look lovely.

0:43:42 > 0:43:45- That would have gone on your parasol.- Can I take it?

0:43:45 > 0:43:47Yeah, have a look, hold it.

0:43:47 > 0:43:49That looks like a nice thing.

0:43:49 > 0:43:52What about the tiny Art Deco lighter?

0:43:52 > 0:43:54That fell off my chair.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57That's it! It's off my chair. We need to put it back on.

0:43:57 > 0:44:00- I've been looking for that! - Actually, it is quite interesting.

0:44:00 > 0:44:04It's a Dunhill lighter. Anything Dunhill is quality.

0:44:04 > 0:44:08I think, you know, you've gone for three individual statements.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10This is Mark's purchase.

0:44:10 > 0:44:13- I like it. I like the way you just dumped that...- Do you like that?!

0:44:13 > 0:44:16He just threw you out there.

0:44:16 > 0:44:19You know when you're standing up there and about to do your relay

0:44:19 > 0:44:21and the other one is like, "You're on your own?!"

0:44:21 > 0:44:23"This is Mark's!"

0:44:23 > 0:44:26Can I just ask you? What have you been doing for two days?!

0:44:26 > 0:44:29We've been having fun, haven't we?

0:44:29 > 0:44:32To be fair, carrying that stuff around was difficult.

0:44:32 > 0:44:34Just eating paella, weren't you?

0:44:34 > 0:44:36Right, I'm feeling smug. Let's go.

0:44:36 > 0:44:38Champions! Whoo!

0:44:40 > 0:44:43So out of earshot, what did they really make

0:44:43 > 0:44:45of each other's offerings?

0:44:45 > 0:44:49- The biggest item I saw was the ship. - The Victory. I think not.

0:44:49 > 0:44:53- Do you see victory?- Not with that ship, no. Absolutely not.

0:44:53 > 0:44:55Are you worried?

0:44:55 > 0:44:59- That cane handle, that looks good. - It's a good thing.- Yeah.

0:44:59 > 0:45:03- But it's just a cane handle.- OK. - You have to do something with it.

0:45:03 > 0:45:05- It's not as good as our ring.- OK.

0:45:05 > 0:45:09Mark, little Mark, he was going for it. He was winding us up.

0:45:09 > 0:45:14Don't get intimidated. I promise you, we have got great items.

0:45:14 > 0:45:16- Confidence?- I feel confident.

0:45:16 > 0:45:19I wasn't sure before the reveal, but after seeing the reveal

0:45:19 > 0:45:22- I think, yes.- Great. Well, let battle commence.

0:45:25 > 0:45:28After starting in Otford, Kent,

0:45:28 > 0:45:32our two teams have travelled almost 200 miles and are now motoring

0:45:32 > 0:45:36towards Twickenham, in south-west London, for the big finale.

0:45:37 > 0:45:40When it comes to the moment when that auction starts,

0:45:40 > 0:45:43- are you going to get a little bit competitive?- Very competitive.

0:45:43 > 0:45:44Not even a little bit.

0:45:44 > 0:45:47I must admit, when we did the reveal, you started...

0:45:47 > 0:45:48your chest came out.

0:45:48 > 0:45:51I am like, "Ade has suddenly got..."

0:45:51 > 0:45:53It's like... I thought it was the

0:45:53 > 0:45:55- Olympic Games play-off final something.- I can't help it.

0:45:55 > 0:45:58I can't help it, Mark. It's terrible.

0:45:58 > 0:46:02I reckon when I watch this back I'm going to be cringing.

0:46:02 > 0:46:04- I'm going to be like, "Calm down, Ade."- Calm down, yep.

0:46:04 > 0:46:07Do you know what, though? Have you prepared a celebration.

0:46:07 > 0:46:09I've been thinking, when I win it's going to be

0:46:09 > 0:46:11the single punch.

0:46:11 > 0:46:14Come on! Come on!

0:46:14 > 0:46:16Are you going to do a Djokovic?

0:46:16 > 0:46:19Are you going to take a little bit of the floor and put it in your mouth and taste it?

0:46:19 > 0:46:22Yeah, I think so. I think I'll eat some antiques.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25Oh, dear. Please don't.

0:46:27 > 0:46:30- So I drove you... Oh, here they are. - I did offer.

0:46:30 > 0:46:31Hey, hey, hey!

0:46:31 > 0:46:33How's it going, winning team(?)

0:46:33 > 0:46:36- Let's do it. - Oh, get over yourselves.

0:46:36 > 0:46:39I'll give you little handshake.

0:46:39 > 0:46:42The battleground is High Road Auctions and David Holmes

0:46:42 > 0:46:44is the man with the gavel.

0:46:44 > 0:46:49So what does he make of our celebrities' lots?

0:46:49 > 0:46:51The interchangeable ring, it's a bit of fun.

0:46:51 > 0:46:54It's a silver ring with different gem coloured stones

0:46:54 > 0:46:58that you can interchange depending on the mood you're in.

0:46:58 > 0:47:00I think the nicest piece today will

0:47:00 > 0:47:02be the Dunhill lighter, for my money.

0:47:02 > 0:47:06You don't see many of these on the market at all. Good internet lot.

0:47:06 > 0:47:09It's got everything going for it.

0:47:09 > 0:47:12I think that could be the one to surprise today.

0:47:13 > 0:47:17Mark and Mark spent £315 on four auction lots.

0:47:18 > 0:47:23While Ade and Thomas almost blew the lot, spending

0:47:23 > 0:47:25£397 on an impressive six lots.

0:47:28 > 0:47:33Our teams are taking their seats in the sale room, which has

0:47:33 > 0:47:35buyers in the room and online.

0:47:38 > 0:47:41Ade and Thomas's first lot is up.

0:47:41 > 0:47:43It's the WMF vase.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45I'm feeling a bit nervous. My heart's beating.

0:47:45 > 0:47:48- Is it? Is it? Are you getting the adrenaline?- Yeah, I am.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51It's got a bid. Start it off at £20 for this lot.

0:47:51 > 0:47:53Thank you, sir. Take five again at the back.

0:47:53 > 0:47:56At 25, 30. 28, sir.

0:47:56 > 0:47:59£28. I'll take 30. I'll do the same for you.

0:47:59 > 0:48:02I have a gentleman's bid, standing in the middle of the room.

0:48:02 > 0:48:05- At £28.- Amazing price. - I'll take 30 for the lot.

0:48:05 > 0:48:08It's selling. 30 with the lady. Take two again, sir.

0:48:08 > 0:48:10At £30. The lady has bid.

0:48:10 > 0:48:12He is trying.

0:48:12 > 0:48:14Was that a bid? Are you nodding to say yes?

0:48:14 > 0:48:16At £30, the lady has bid in the seating.

0:48:16 > 0:48:17I'll take two on the internet.

0:48:17 > 0:48:21The bid is in the room. No mistake, selling at £30 only.

0:48:21 > 0:48:23Oh, dear.

0:48:23 > 0:48:26- Don't worry, we've got... - You cut me so deep.

0:48:28 > 0:48:31Yep, a bit of a disappointing start there, but it's only the first lot.

0:48:31 > 0:48:35Onwards and upwards, eh?

0:48:35 > 0:48:38Next, the contemporary Chinese vase.

0:48:40 > 0:48:43£20 for the lot. Come along quickly.

0:48:43 > 0:48:45£10 for it. Cheap.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48- Come on. - I'll take 12 for the lot.

0:48:48 > 0:48:51That's all we've got, guys.

0:48:51 > 0:48:54I'll take 12 for the lot. A big decorative vase.

0:48:54 > 0:48:57I've got to sell it. At £10 only.

0:48:58 > 0:49:02Oh, dear. That didn't go down very well there, did it?

0:49:02 > 0:49:04How are you feeling, Mark?

0:49:07 > 0:49:11- Oh, you've got... - A tenner! A tenner!

0:49:11 > 0:49:13Mark, honestly.

0:49:13 > 0:49:16Well, at least Ade's enjoying himself.

0:49:16 > 0:49:19Obviously, this is a very knowledgeable lot

0:49:19 > 0:49:22and they knew that what you had up there was pure chintz.

0:49:26 > 0:49:28Now, now, Ade.

0:49:28 > 0:49:32Can the leather photo album, complete with pictures, fare any better?

0:49:34 > 0:49:37We've got to start this one at £20 on commission.

0:49:37 > 0:49:41- On commission.- 25. Is that a bid, sir? I've got 28.

0:49:41 > 0:49:43- I'll take £30 in the room.- Oh, yes.

0:49:43 > 0:49:45- £30, thank you. 32 behind.- Oh, yes.

0:49:45 > 0:49:48Was that a bid? 35. And 8. 38. 40, sir.

0:49:48 > 0:49:50Go on! One more, one more!

0:49:50 > 0:49:53- £38. The bid is behind you.- Oh!- Yes!

0:49:53 > 0:49:5540 bid with the lady. Take 2 again, sir.

0:49:59 > 0:50:02£42. The gentleman has bid 45. 8 again.

0:50:04 > 0:50:09£50, madam. £48. The gentleman has bid behind you.

0:50:09 > 0:50:12It's your last chance. I am selling it. Are we done at 48?

0:50:12 > 0:50:13Are you building, sir? No.

0:50:16 > 0:50:18- We didn't get...- Very good.

0:50:18 > 0:50:22After auction costs, that will certainly result in a small loss.

0:50:22 > 0:50:24Speaking of small. It's time for the Marks'

0:50:24 > 0:50:27teeny Dunhill lighter.

0:50:28 > 0:50:3265. Internet has got it. 75 bid.

0:50:35 > 0:50:38It is still cheap. 90 bid. Take 5, internet.

0:50:38 > 0:50:40I don't think we're there yet.

0:50:40 > 0:50:42- At 95 bid. 100 bid.- Oh!

0:50:42 > 0:50:44At £100, the bid with the internet.

0:50:44 > 0:50:46Let's have a £10 bid, internet.

0:50:48 > 0:50:49Come along. At £100.

0:50:49 > 0:50:51110, thank you. Give me 120, internet.

0:50:52 > 0:50:55I think we're done. I've have got to sell it.

0:50:55 > 0:50:56Was that a bid? Nope.

0:50:56 > 0:50:59At £110 with the internet.

0:51:00 > 0:51:02- Nice.- Really good.

0:51:02 > 0:51:04Respect. Respect.

0:51:06 > 0:51:07That's more like it.

0:51:07 > 0:51:11A whopping big profit there for the smallest lot.

0:51:12 > 0:51:17Can the colourful collection of Whitefriars candlesticks do the same?

0:51:17 > 0:51:20I'm going to start them at £45.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23I'll take 48, the lot.

0:51:23 > 0:51:2548, I beg your pardon. 50 bid.

0:51:25 > 0:51:295. Thank you, 55. I need 60, the lot.

0:51:29 > 0:51:31Are you bidding? At £55.

0:51:31 > 0:51:33The lady has bid right in front.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36- No!- I need 60 on the internet. We'll give the internet a chance.

0:51:36 > 0:51:39It's selling in the room. Are we done? At 55.

0:51:39 > 0:51:42We're having a nightmare, aren't we? We're having a nightmare.

0:51:42 > 0:51:45Absolute nightmare.

0:51:45 > 0:51:49They really are a tough crowd to please today.

0:51:49 > 0:51:52But least that lovely lady walks away with a bargain.

0:51:52 > 0:51:54Well, well done for buying something good.

0:51:56 > 0:51:59Let's see if Mark and Mark can increase their lead with

0:51:59 > 0:52:02their Art Deco figure.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05Give me £30. It's a very decorative items. £30 with the internet.

0:52:09 > 0:52:12I'm looking for 5 in the room.

0:52:12 > 0:52:13Come on!

0:52:13 > 0:52:15I'm sorry. It's £30. It's with the internet.

0:52:15 > 0:52:19I'll take 5 in the room. Are we done selling online?

0:52:19 > 0:52:21Last chance at 30. Internet buyer.

0:52:23 > 0:52:25- That's it.- It's nothing, is it?

0:52:25 > 0:52:27It's peanuts.

0:52:27 > 0:52:30Those online bidders are getting some great deals today.

0:52:30 > 0:52:33That loss closes the gap between the teams.

0:52:33 > 0:52:35Do you know what I love about this? It's the highs and lows.

0:52:35 > 0:52:39It's like sport. One minute you're up and the next minute you're down.

0:52:39 > 0:52:43Next up, it's the joint lot of the Whitefriars

0:52:43 > 0:52:45and James Powell vases.

0:52:46 > 0:52:49Bid me £20 for the two vases there.

0:52:49 > 0:52:51£20 with the internet. I'll take 5 in the room.

0:52:51 > 0:52:53£20 on the internet.

0:52:53 > 0:52:56At £20 only. I'll take 5 in the room. Thank you, madam.

0:53:00 > 0:53:04£25. The bid is in the room. I'll take 30. Online bidder.

0:53:04 > 0:53:07The back of the room with the lady. £25 only.

0:53:08 > 0:53:11I'll take 30. I'm selling at 25.

0:53:11 > 0:53:14Oh, gosh. That's a bad loss.

0:53:15 > 0:53:19It's definitely not been a good day for the vases.

0:53:19 > 0:53:21We haven't finished.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23- We've still got...- Still all to play for.

0:53:23 > 0:53:25That's the attitude, Thomas.

0:53:25 > 0:53:29Can you and Ade win the battle with your model of HMS Victory?

0:53:31 > 0:53:34This has got £20 to get it started. Any good to you, sir? Thank you.

0:53:34 > 0:53:37- Take 5, internet.- 30. - 30, thank you.

0:53:37 > 0:53:40- 35. New buyer. 40 in the door. - Come on, come on!

0:54:50 > 0:54:54- I could have been worse. Sorry, Mark.- Don't be silly.

0:54:54 > 0:54:57The boys' loss is someone else's gain.

0:54:57 > 0:55:00A nice little item there, gone for a steal.

0:55:00 > 0:55:03It is neck-and-neck and time for the final lot,

0:55:03 > 0:55:06Ade and Thomas's interchangeable ring.

0:56:08 > 0:56:11Well, if it is any consolation, chaps, some lucky lady

0:56:11 > 0:56:14has bagged herself a fine piece of jewellery.

0:56:14 > 0:56:17Do you know what I have learned though, actually?

0:56:17 > 0:56:21You can pick up proper bargain at auction because

0:56:21 > 0:56:23all of that stuff has gone for real cheap.

0:56:23 > 0:56:26And do you know what I think of auctions?

0:56:26 > 0:56:29It's all so chintz. Come on, let's go.

0:56:30 > 0:56:34I'm pleased to see you're all still smiling.

0:56:34 > 0:56:37But the big question is, which team has come out on top?

0:56:38 > 0:56:41Ade and Thomas started with £400.

0:56:41 > 0:56:47After paying auction costs, sadly they made a loss of £173.14.

0:56:47 > 0:56:49Wow.

0:56:49 > 0:56:52So they end the trip with £226.86.

0:56:55 > 0:56:59The two Marks also kicked off with £400

0:56:59 > 0:57:05and they made a slightly smaller loss dropping £126.40 after auction costs.

0:57:05 > 0:57:09Meaning that these finish with £273.60

0:57:09 > 0:57:13and are crowned today's winners.

0:57:13 > 0:57:15You might be surprised at this but none of us

0:57:15 > 0:57:17actually made overall profits.

0:57:17 > 0:57:20- Really?- I know, shocking.- Really?

0:57:20 > 0:57:25Ade and Tom, you lost around £173.

0:57:25 > 0:57:27THEY GROAN

0:57:27 > 0:57:28- 100 and how much?- 73.

0:57:28 > 0:57:31- How much did you lose?- Around 126.

0:57:31 > 0:57:34It was quite close, but we won!

0:57:35 > 0:57:39- Only by losing the least. - It doesn't matter. It's still a win.

0:57:40 > 0:57:43- Fair play, fair play.- Listen, well done.

0:57:43 > 0:57:45- Every event we go to.- Yeah, yeah, listen to this!

0:57:45 > 0:57:47Ade, thank you.

0:57:47 > 0:57:49Thanks for taking part.

0:57:50 > 0:57:52- Take care.- A total pleasure.

0:57:52 > 0:57:56- See you later.- Nice one. Thanks, Thomas. Thanks, Mark.

0:57:56 > 0:58:00- It's all Thomas's fault. - It's all...!

0:58:00 > 0:58:03He said, "It's all Thomas's fault."

0:58:03 > 0:58:05THEY LAUGH

0:58:05 > 0:58:09I'm surprised at how much I have enjoyed it, actually.

0:58:09 > 0:58:11Do you know what?

0:58:11 > 0:58:16I'm all about recycling and, for me, antiques is cool recycling.

0:58:16 > 0:58:19You should get him on the basketball court soon, Thomas.

0:58:19 > 0:58:21We'll take them to our world.

0:58:21 > 0:58:23Yeah, that's what we should do.

0:58:23 > 0:58:26Now, that I would pay to see.

0:58:26 > 0:58:30Until next time then, Road-trippers, Ta-ta!
