0:00:01 > 0:00:03The nation's favourite celebrities...
0:00:03 > 0:00:04Got some proper bling here.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06..paired up with an expert...
0:00:06 > 0:00:07What? What?
0:00:07 > 0:00:09..and a classic car.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11- Pick your legs up. - Are you are all right, girls?
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Their mission - to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16All breakages must be paid for.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18This is a good find, is it not?
0:00:18 > 0:00:21The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23But it's no easy ride.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Who will find a hidden gem?
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Who will take the biggest risks?
0:00:27 > 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 > 0:00:35There will be worthy winners...
0:00:35 > 0:00:37This is better than Christmas!
0:00:37 > 0:00:39..and valiant losers.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Time to put your pedal to the metal.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Yeah!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52For today's Road Trip, we're in sunny Scotland
0:00:52 > 0:00:55with the nation's favourite wine experts -
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Jilly Goolden and designated driver Oz Clarke.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I'm going to get my...get the instructions,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- just in case we need them.- I am not going to read the instructions
0:01:03 > 0:01:06of how to drive a car, Jilly.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Your bottom is getting in the way of the, you know...
0:01:10 > 0:01:14This is Northern Scotland, they are not expecting to see your bottom.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Steady on, Jilly. At least you're not on a public road.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- There's a cut-out switch. - Look left, look right, Jilly.- OK.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Try and be helpful,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24rather than just telling me what I don't need to know.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26A cut-out switch under the dashboard. I think I need that.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Long before Jamie or Nigella, these two vintage presenters
0:01:30 > 0:01:34were a TV institution thanks to their way with words.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37It's as though I'm actually crushing the black grapes in my mouth.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Gorgeous peach blossom.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Clove spice and sort of lemon citrus zest.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Rosewater and witch hazel. You know, those lovely scents.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Jilly and Oz reducing grown adjectives to tears.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50And this isn't the first time
0:01:50 > 0:01:52these two have been on a road trip together.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- We shouldn't have stopped for that rest, Jilly.- Oh!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58There's got to be an easier way.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Thankfully for you, there is, Oz.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02But you're still in control, this time,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06of the beautifully preserved 1966 Singer Gazelle.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I can just look at the view and have a lovely time
0:02:08 > 0:02:10while you do all the driving, and that was the same on the tandem.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13When I was at the back, I was manicuring my nails -
0:02:13 > 0:02:14I did not pedal.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I did notice that there was a serious lack of effort.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22With £400 each, today's game is serious business.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24When did you last buy an antique?
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Erm...
0:02:27 > 0:02:28..about 1980, I think.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33I have maybe a little bit more antique experience than you,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35which doesn't mean I'm going to be any better.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38But I did do a programme called The Great Antiques Hunt
0:02:38 > 0:02:39- for five years.- I remember it.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41And I remember it too.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42But the difference today, Jilly,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45is you'll be doing the shopping with a little help.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Yeah. Driving a cheeky little 1968 Triumph Vitesse -
0:02:50 > 0:02:52my dad had one of those - are our experts.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Smooth, full-bodied and with a sophisticated palate
0:02:55 > 0:02:57is auctioneer James Braxton.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I had a kipper this morning in Carnoustie.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04That's the lovely thing about a kipper, it stays with you all day.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Bubbly, ripe, mature and with a great nose
0:03:07 > 0:03:08is jewellery expert Margie Cooper.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Is it true that you can smell silver?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Yeah, I think you can. - I think you can.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I can smell horrible plate.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Well, you can both hone your olfactory skills with today's guests.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21So, we've got two wine experts.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- Not winos, wine experts. - SHE LAUGHS
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Oz and Jilly go under the skin of wine.- Right.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32They know about crystallisation, they know perfect temperatures.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36SHE SIGHS DEEPLY
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- I shall await...- Anyway, you're going to go...
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- I tell you what, Margie... - I'm not glazing over.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42..you stick to smelling silver, OK?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46And you'll be sticking to only smelling wine, James,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49because on this road trip, there'll be no drinking and driving.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55Our pairs are setting off from Carnoustie, on the coast,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58before driving through the beautiful countryside to Dundee,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01across into Perthshire and then back to Dundee.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Then it's another drive south before finishing at auction,
0:04:04 > 0:04:0860 miles away in Leith, in Scotland's capital, Edinburgh.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12But first we need to decide the pairs.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Don't singe your bottom, Margie.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15But why is it so hot?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17It's the engine, love.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18So patronising.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Never mind, here come our celebrities.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Here they are, madly waving.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Ah.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Hello.- Morning, morning. - You've arrived.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- You lovely people. - Very grand, James.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Hello, hello, lovely to see you. Grand?- Nice to see you.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Really good to see you.- How are you? Nice to see you.- I'm very well.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Jilly, lovely to meet you.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Oz.- Hi, James.- How are you? - Very good. Very good.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- What a morning. - What a day for us.- It is, isn't it?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Yeah. Now then. - Now, who's with whom?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Girls together, I think we should take them on.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Girls together or boys... What do you reckon?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Oh, let's boy-girl. - Boy-girl, you traditionalist!
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Lovely, Margie. Who could pass...?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57And who could pass off the lovely Jilly?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59THEY LAUGH
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Well, that means... I'm not commenting about you on this.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05So, it's sorted.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07The two Js together in the Singer
0:05:07 > 0:05:09and in the Triumph, Oz and Margie.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12It works!
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Their first stop today is 19 miles north in Brechin,
0:05:17 > 0:05:21and it's a chance to get to know more about our wine champion.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- At university, we had a university wine team, which I was in.- Yeah.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Then there was an English wine team, I got into that team.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30And every time we won... We beat the French and we beat the Germans
0:05:30 > 0:05:32and we beat the Italians...
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Oh, my goodness.- ..I thought I was the coolest dude in the world.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I take it you're interested in antiques?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Well, I am, but I gave up buying them a long time ago.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41I used to buy old stamps,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I couldn't believe that nobody wanted these old stamps.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Of course, I didn't realise that there's an awful lot of old stamps
0:05:47 > 0:05:49in the world and they're not quite as valuable as you'd hope.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Yes, a lot of little boys' collections.- Yeah.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Oh, yes. There may even be some stamps in Brechin.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Thanks to its 11th-century cathedral,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00this is one of Britain's smallest cities.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Oz and Margie have come to the aptly-named Treasures...
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- like them.- There's a bicycle.- Yeah.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Offer them a fiver for that.- Yeah.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13And here to help them is the very cheery Ewen.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Right, Ewen, we're going to have a wonder.- Sure.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Well, I feel straight out of my depth here.- Well, don't.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- What's that? - Straight out of my depth.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- What's that?- That is...
0:06:24 > 0:06:26That is a Shields of Dublin...
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Oh, that's bits of a bagpipe.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Not so out of your depth after all, Oz.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Ewen, is that bike for sale outside?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Yes, it's for sale, aye.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Well, I said I'd give you a fiver for it.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41EWEN LAUGHS
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I tell the jokes here.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48So, no deal on that bike.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Got any others?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Go on, sit on it, see what it's like.- The thing is, will I get up?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Yes, you will.- Careful now.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- I think it might be real. - How do you work it?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- It's got wheels, it's got breaks. - Oh, yeah.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Look, look, it says here...power.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06THEY LAUGH
0:07:06 > 0:07:08It does work!
0:07:08 > 0:07:09What did you press?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12They're having a good time already. Oh, look what it is.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14What are those stamps doing?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- No, I don't know. - Those are Twopenny Blues.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Now, I don't know whether they're real or not.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21And I don't what the actual price is at the moment on those.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26Ah... Oz has found something he does know a bit about.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Are those Twopenny Blues there? - Yeah, they're real.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Are they real?- Yeah.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31There's loads of them.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Now, it's a long time since I was a stamp collector.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Well, let me remind you, Oz.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41The Twopenny Blue was the world's second official postage stamp,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43issued in 1840.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46The ticket price for this group is £55.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Have you still got your stamp collection?- Yeah.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50It's now worth five pounds.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54So, I thought I might bring it up and offer it to you,
0:07:54 > 0:07:55so that I can take your bicycle away.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- You've got five pounds on the brain. - That's it.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Good try, Oz.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Perhaps Ewen has something else that could be part of a deal.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Can you parcel this up and let us have something whereby
0:08:07 > 0:08:09it would be impossible for us to fail?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Well, I'm sure we could come to some sort of deal,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14but I've fortunately found these as well.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17These might be more interesting
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- because they're going to Edinburgh to sell.- Hm.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- The medals are actually there.- Yeah.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25And there's all the paperwork with the medals, as you can see.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Is there a name of a person?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- It's actually on the box. - J Johnson esquire.- Yeah.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35These two World War II medals were awarded to an airman from Leith,
0:08:35 > 0:08:36which is where our auction is taking place.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39They have a ticket price of £20.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Can we not put the two together and it'll be really cheap?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Combined with the stamps, that's £75.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47How much can they get off, Ewen?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- I could give you the stamps and the medals...- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52..the two lots for 60 quid.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- No, it's too dear. - It's too much.- Yeah.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Rock bottom price, OK?- Yeah.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- 38.- 50 quid and I cannae do any less than that, honestly.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- I don't think we're risking it. - Is it too much?- I think so.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Cos I'm out of my comfort zone completely.- Hm.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Right, here we go. 45 quid, that's it.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I can't take less than that, honestly.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I'm not too happy at 45. If you're happy at 45...
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I just like seeing Ewen smile.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21The amount of times I've made you smile and laugh this morning
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- is worth a fiver. - It's worth a fiver, yeah.- 40 quid.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- 40 quid then, come on. - Come on then, we've done it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- There you go.- I like your style, Oz.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Disarm them with your charm and then get £35 off the ticket price.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- That's first class and the first deal of the day done.- Best of luck.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Thanks.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Jilly and James, meanwhile,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42are making the trip 15 miles north to Pitscandly,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44just outside Forfar.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Do you like being driven, Jilly?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50It depends how well you drive, James.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54I must admit I have been known to be a bit of a backseat driver,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- or front seat driver.- Really?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59And in this car, I have to tell you, I've got the instructions.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- So, if you do anything wrong... - Yeah.- ..I'll be on it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05One of the things here that I would really like to try out,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07and it's the cut-out switch under the dashboard
0:10:07 > 0:10:09on the right of the steering wheel.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Well, is this if you're running away out of control,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14do you use the cut-out switch? When do you use it?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I would like to remain in control of the car.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Will Jilly let you remain in charge of the shopping, James?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21So, I'm quite, as I say, an acquisitive person,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23and I've got a hell of a lot of animals,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26which I acquire at a great rate.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27What, horses, dogs, cats?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- All of the above.- Really?
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Hedgehogs.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Sanctuary, you're a sanctuary. - I'm a sanctuary.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36We've got a hedgehog who's gone a bit mad.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- No!- But anything to do with hedgehogs I would go for,
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I can tell you.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Their first chance at some antique acquisition
0:10:44 > 0:10:47is going to be in Gow Antiques & Restoration.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- It looks lovely, doesn't it? - It really does, actually.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52A restorer. Now, remember what I said, Jilly.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- WHISPERS:- Always buy...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Always buy ceramics in a furniture place, OK?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Oh, yes.- OK.- OK.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Words to the wise. - OK. Words to the wise.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06And to show Jilly and James around, is Jeremy - triple Js.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07- Hi.- Hello there.- I'm Jilly.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Jilly, pleased to meet you. - What a lovely place.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- James.- Hello, James.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Jilly, in your words, I'm getting...
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- HE INHALES - polish here.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- What are you smelling? - Shed loads of polish.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Shed loads of polish.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23What about oak and walnut undertones with a touch of brass, Jilly?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I am absolutely mad about birds.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Oh, you love birds.- And look at that. These are little...
0:11:29 > 0:11:31They're actually sort of stylised.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33It looks like a bullfinch and a chaffinch.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36But that's rather lovely. It's painted, isn't it?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Let me have a look there. Yeah, you're right, it's all painted.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Jilly knows her stuff all right.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Terribly smart, isn't it? Oh, lovely papers inside.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46And so what date would you put on it?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Well, it's a very Regency look to it, isn't it?
0:11:50 > 0:11:521800, 1820.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55It's a beautiful satinwood box and an antique,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58but what condition is it in?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Is the box smiling?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Is there... Does it fall flush... - Oh, I see what you mean.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- ..or is it bent a bit?- Erm...
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Cos it's got some cracks here, which would suggest it was on...
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Very slightly not...
0:12:11 > 0:12:13No, not married.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Cos it's stretched there, isn't it? - There's a little bit of movement.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Well, sometimes... There is, you can see it there, can't you?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Yeah, there is movement.- Sometimes a little bit of damage is reassuring
0:12:22 > 0:12:28- both for age and also maybe helpful on the old price.- On the old price.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I think we have to tell Jeremy, it's very cracked, very cracked.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35The ticket price for the box is £365,
0:12:35 > 0:12:40that's nearly their entire budget for the trip.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43What magic can be done here by Team Jilly?
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Erm, I like the box VERY much.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- But I can't spend a great deal of money on it.- Yeah.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Well, to be honest, we want to try and save ourselves a bit.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56150.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58265.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01I don't do fives.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I don't think I could go above 150 for it
0:13:04 > 0:13:06because I'm terrified about our budget
0:13:06 > 0:13:08and about commission and things.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- 185, go on.- I think you could go slightly above it but...
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I can't go to 185. I can't, I can't.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Oh, she's a tough lady. - I can't, you know.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- This is why she's top of her business.- It's got, you know.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Smiling.- It's got a little bit of a...
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Don't tell the restorer that, he knows that.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28He probably restored it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31I think if we were 200 years old, we'd have a couple of cracks, too.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Maybe so, but the condition could have a big effect
0:13:34 > 0:13:36on what it'll sell for at auction.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I will go to 160.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I'll go to 170.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47We'll split it. 165?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- OK.- Whey!
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Thank you, Jeremy. Thank you.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Hey, that Jilly's one to watch. £200 knocked off the satinwood box, eh?
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Oz and Margie, meanwhile, have driven nine miles east
0:14:06 > 0:14:10to the Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13They've come here to find out how a small airfield in Scotland
0:14:13 > 0:14:17helped change the face of warfare forever.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21And here to tell them more is Dan, one of the centre's volunteers.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- Good to see you.- How are you? - Yeah, very well.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26So, Dan, what have you got here?
0:14:26 > 0:14:31Well, this is the most important early aviation site in Britain,
0:14:31 > 0:14:32we believe.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35It goes back to the very early days of flying,
0:14:35 > 0:14:39and the buildings round about you here date back to 1913.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42This former farmer's field in Montrose
0:14:42 > 0:14:46made aviation and military history in February 1913,
0:14:46 > 0:14:52when the then Royal Flying Corps moved its No 2 Squadron here.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55They were already using civilian airfields in England,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59but once they had relocated the first five planes,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01the makeshift base here
0:15:01 > 0:15:05became the first purpose-built military airfield in the world.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Why did they create the first airfield here?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10What they were concerned about
0:15:10 > 0:15:13was the Germans developing zeppelins,
0:15:13 > 0:15:17which were airships that were capable of long-distance flights,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21and they thought the zeppelins might be spying on the Grand Fleet,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23which was the main British weapon.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Montrose was situated halfway between the two bases
0:15:26 > 0:15:28for the British grand naval fleet,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31with the River Forth to the south and Scapa Flow to the north.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Montrose was nicely situated
0:15:34 > 0:15:37to keep an eye on any intruders from Germany
0:15:37 > 0:15:39looking at our battleships.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Most of the military were dubious about the benefits
0:15:42 > 0:15:46of these new flying machines but the head of No 2 Squadron,
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Major Charles Burke,
0:15:47 > 0:15:51had the innovative idea that the planes could be used
0:15:51 > 0:15:54to take aerial photographs of German positions in France.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58The No 2 Squadron from Montrose
0:15:58 > 0:16:02then became the first aeroplanes ever to be sent to war.
0:16:02 > 0:16:08The No 2 Squadron was mobilised and left Montrose on 3 August 1914,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- the day before war was officially declared.- Yeah.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Flew down to Dover and, ten days later,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- they flew across the Channel to France.- Yeah.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21And of course, one of the men who left here on the third,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Major Harvey-Kelly, was the first British pilot
0:16:24 > 0:16:27to land in France in the First World War.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Hubert Harvey-Kelly had become the first man
0:16:30 > 0:16:33to successfully land a plane in a war zone.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Although Major Burke was supposed to have the honour of going first,
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Kelly had taken an accidental shortcut and beaten him.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44This is a partial replica of Kelly's plane.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- It looks like a glider. - Well, it is a glider.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51The engines were very low power.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Aviation engines were a whole new thing.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00So, effectively it was just a powered glider.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05The engine got it up to height and kept it going along at about 60mph.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09But once in France, the role of the planes quickly began to change.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13The initial idea is aircraft for reconnaissance purposes,
0:17:13 > 0:17:18but they very quickly encountered the Germans coming the other way
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- doing their reconnaissance.- Ah!
0:17:21 > 0:17:24And they began to look for ways of stopping the enemy.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27So, how did it develop?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I almost feel as though it's people getting a pistol out
0:17:29 > 0:17:31and trying to shoot across at the other bloke.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33That's exactly how it started, yes.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36So you had to fly your plane
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- and fire at the enemy at the same time, yeah.- Oh, no!
0:17:40 > 0:17:44New technology soon allowed the pilots to fire machine guns
0:17:44 > 0:17:46through the propellers without hitting them,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49as on this Sopwith Camel.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Bomb-dropping technology also quickly evolved.
0:17:52 > 0:17:58In 1914, aeroplanes took 13 days to travel 500 miles.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01The hothouse of war had quickly changed the plane
0:18:01 > 0:18:03from a piece of rickety surveillance technology
0:18:03 > 0:18:06into an efficient killing machine.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09So, the whole range of modern aircraft
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- had already developed by the end of the First World War.- Yeah.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17And Harvey-Kelly, in 1917, was a fighter pilot in effect.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22It was the fighting above the Battle of Arras
0:18:22 > 0:18:26that he met his death in April 1917.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27How old was he?
0:18:27 > 0:18:2924.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Was there a respect between the different air forces?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Yes, there certainly was.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I think they sort of regarded the war in the air
0:18:39 > 0:18:42as a more chivalrous kind of thing.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46When Harvey-Kelly was shot down behind the German lines,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48they buried him as they would one of their own,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50with full military honours.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55And they returned some of his personal artefacts to his family.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58By 1918, the war was over for these knights of the sky
0:18:58 > 0:19:01but at what was now called RAF Montrose,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04the important work of training pilots carried on.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07By the end of the Battle of Britain in World War II,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10over 800 pilots had got their wings here.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13It closed as a base in 1952
0:19:13 > 0:19:16but was reopened as a museum in 1983
0:19:16 > 0:19:20to credit its unique role in military aviation history.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Jilly and James are back on the road.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26BAGPIPES PLAY
0:19:26 > 0:19:29And they're making the 13-mile journey south
0:19:29 > 0:19:33from Forfar to Dundee, or Bonnie Dundee,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36as this steering pipe tune calls it.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Dundee is the city of the three Js - jute, jam and journalism.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42The jute and the jam industries are long since gone
0:19:42 > 0:19:44but journalism still remains,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47thanks to DC Thomson, publishers of The Beano.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- Next stop.- Next stop, more antiques.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56Jilly and James have come to Clepington Antiques & Collectables.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58On hand to help is Derek.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Hi, very nice to see you. - What a choice here.- I know.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05I've never been confronted with so much stuff.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07You could do with selling a few things, so we'll help you out.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Well, I hope you'll help me out there.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14Ah, a bit of psychology, Jilly. I like it.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Time to get on the case.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I think this is nice. I love these suitcases.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19I didn't mean it literally, Jilly.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22It's in great order and it's got no initials.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Oh, beautifully made.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Look at that. It's still... - Stop breaking it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I'm not, it'll go on forever.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- It's like you in the car. - Does the other one do that?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Oh, listen to it.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Now, that is the sound of quality.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39But quality costs, James.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43The ticket price for this turn-of-the-century suitcase is £60.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46First thing to go is the handle. Is it all right, sound?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Has it been replaced? - It seems good as gold.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53It's wearing a bit, but it's good as gold, you're right.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Jilly, I like that.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56You're a pro at this, aren't you?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00That's a definite maybe. What else can our pro uncover?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Now, here's an old bit, Jilly. - Oh, coming.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07An old bit of blue and white pottery here.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Here comes Derek with the key.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- So, it's all integral, the stand? - Yes.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Oh, yeah. That's...
0:21:21 > 0:21:23That doesn't float my gravy boat.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26It's whether it'll sink at auction that really counts, Jilly.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29It's probably 1790, something like that.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Really?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32- Really?- Yeah.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Oh, well.- You're handling history.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Well, we know how old it is, but what is it?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I don't think this is big enough for gravy.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I think this would have been a sauce...
0:21:43 > 0:21:44- SHE GASPS - Like a bread sauce.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- I'm going to tell you exactly what it is.- What?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- It's the most disgusting thing ever. - What?
0:21:48 > 0:21:53That wet nurses used to pre-masticate babies food
0:21:53 > 0:21:57and spit it out into bowls like this
0:21:57 > 0:21:59and feed it to babies, and it has a special name.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- The posset.- That's what this is.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02- No.- No?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- No.- Well, James, enlighten us.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07This is not for the nursery.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I think this would have been bread sauce, horseradish sauce.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- You don't think it would've been that? OK.- No.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Thank you for that. I'm feeling a little queasy.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17THEY LAUGH
0:22:17 > 0:22:21The ticket price on the sauce boat is £40. Now, what else?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23You know you have to get your eye in somewhere like this,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26cos there's just so much bewildering stuff.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30The only good news is that, if I feel slightly bewildered,
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Oz will be demented.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Yeah.- He will not cope.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Oh, I do hope not.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Oh, this is rather lovely, isn't it. Beautiful vase.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Very nice. I think it's Scandinavian cos it's got that kind of...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- It has, hasn't it?- It's a good look. - Scandinavian?- Yeah.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Derek isn't far off, geographically.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53That's a late 1940s, early '50s German glass vase.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55The ticket price is £28.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57What could that be?
0:22:57 > 0:22:58What's it got on there, 28?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Do that for 20.
0:23:00 > 0:23:0420? Oh, you're a tough man, Derek.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08You're going to say, "What's your best price now, aren't you?"
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Have you met James before, Derek? - Let's leave it with Derek
0:23:10 > 0:23:13on one side for a minute and see if it's worth...
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- Yeah, because we've got a clutch of items.- We're going to have a clutch.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Jilly is using that famous nose of hers to sniff out another bargain.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I've found something. Now, this is rather intriguing.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23What's that, a club?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27It could be a club, but it is actually a telescope.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29It's rather a beautiful object but I can't get it to work.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Oh, it's got a maker's name, though.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I know, it's all quite glamorous, isn't it?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35So, it's a single-draw telescope.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37So, the draws are this.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39And then you look down it...
0:23:39 > 0:23:41But I can't see through it.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Well, that doesn't help if...
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Blimey.- Can you see?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I can see Derek's left ear.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49DEREK LAUGHS
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- Can you really?- No.- Oh.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54There's some dirt inside obscuring the lens,
0:23:54 > 0:23:58but this Doland of London Victorian telescope is in working condition.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01This is quite military like, isn't it?
0:24:01 > 0:24:05But Scotland, you know, with all its deerstalking and everything.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08James and Jilly are adding the telescope to their haul,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11along with the suitcase, the sauce boat and the glass vase,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14but they only want to buy three of the four items.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16I think, at this point, Derek should give us the prices.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Give us the prices.- Come on, Derek, give us the prices please.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21You have to give us your best, best, best, best, best.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- So, what could that be? - That could be...£20.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27£20.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- How about 18, Derek?- I don't think...- Can we just go under?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- All right, 18 then.- 18.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34What do you think?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37God, she's a hard...
0:24:37 > 0:24:38- Anyway, 18 at the moment.- 18.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40What else?
0:24:43 > 0:24:4540 on that one.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- How much?- 40.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Do that for 30.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51We talked it up too much, didn't we?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- So 30, let's put it down there... - Well, I know,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- but I'm not accepting that yet. - OK, OK.
0:24:56 > 0:24:5848.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Cos we don't have to buy them. - We don't.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Er...it's 55.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- I'll do that for 40, the telescope. - OK.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Now, this is for me, the deal breaker,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11this case with the key that doesn't work.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- You've got to be tough on this. - Right, it's 60.
0:25:15 > 0:25:1760 is a big, big price on that.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19It is, isn't it.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- What about 30 on that, Derek? - I think 30.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I couldn't do 30, no.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- 32?- Well, let's talk about it as a whole.- I couldn't because...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- So, we're happy with the telescope at 30.- 30.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- Happy with that. - And we've got the vase at 15.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34So, just in case you've got as lost as me there,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36that's the sauce boat ditched
0:25:36 > 0:25:41and the telescope and the vase agreed for £45 for the two.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42It's just the suitcase left.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47At the moment, Derek wants £40, making it a grand total of £85.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Just like to bring it below with the 40, wouldn't you?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- What did we say, 85?- What were you going to say?- £80.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- £80?- £80.- £80.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57OK, thank you. £80 for the three.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58- That's really good.- OK.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- And good luck.- Thank you.- Thank you, Derek. You've been very kind.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Wahoo!- Very kind.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Thank goodness. That's the deal finally done.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10£80 for the telescope, vase and suitcase.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Good work, you two.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Thank you.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Have a good trip.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Time for a rest and a nice glass of wine,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21once you're back at your hotel, that is.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29It's the start of a new day on the Road Trip
0:26:29 > 0:26:31here in stunning Perthshire.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35So, what did our oenophiles think of yesterday?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37That means wine lovers, by the way.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Your first shopping in the last 50 years. Tell me how that went?
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Well, it was about... So, it was my last shopping in the last 50 years.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Not very successful.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51The last time I ever bought anything was about...
0:26:51 > 0:26:54It was in some auction house south of Leicester.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59I think it was the same thing that I bought yesterday!
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I think actually maybe the precise same item.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05No-one has wanted it for 40 years.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07And I thought it was in a box under the stairs.
0:27:07 > 0:27:13It's not, it was in an antique shop in Brechin.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Now, how did you do?- Well.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Well, well, well.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Have I got all my items or have I got very nearly all my items?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23She's certainly pleased with herself.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Sorry, I haven't got this out this morning.- Oh.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30The Gazelle instruction manual.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I'd rather hoped you'd eaten it for dinner last night.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Now, I didn't need it with James.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37To keep your sylph-like figure, I thought you ate notes for dinner.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40They're quite a pair, these two.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43There is in the car this thing that I haven't yet used,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45which is a cut-out switch.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Go on, use it, use it, because it will actually mean...
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I don't know if it's on the right-hand, I have to do this.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Get your hand off my knee, Jilly Goolden.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- The cut-out switch is over here. - Dear, oh, dear.- It's here.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- I can't reach it. - That is my other knee.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Ha-ha! Let's hope you're right, Oz.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Yesterday, Margie and Oz spent £40 on two items -
0:28:01 > 0:28:04the Twopenny Blue stamps and the World War II medals,
0:28:04 > 0:28:09leaving them with a healthy 360 to spend on the day ahead.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- Thank you, Ewen.- Good. - Thank you very much.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16Jilly and James spent a whacking £245 on four items -
0:28:16 > 0:28:20the satinwood box, the suitcase, the German vase
0:28:20 > 0:28:21and the Victorian telescope.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25That leaves them with £155 to spend today.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Having traversed Angus yesterday,
0:28:29 > 0:28:33both our teams are starting today in Abernyte, in Perthshire.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36It's the home of the Scottish Antique & Arts Centre.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Look at them waiting patiently for their celebrity guests.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43So sweet. Ah, here they are.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46They're going to pin my legs to the...pin my legs to the bonnet.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54- Hello.- Good morning, how are you both?- Morning, morning.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Hi again, lovely to see you. - Are you ready for the fray?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59We're very well, but I doubt you and Oz are,
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- cos we have got so many items. - You're rocking.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- We're ahead of the game. - You are ahead of the game.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08It's quite embarrassing when she gets like this.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11She gets very competitive.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Can our teams find that bit of treasure
0:29:13 > 0:29:17that might just fly at auction, in this place?
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Martin and Margaret are ready and poised to help them when they do.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30James thinks he might have found something.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Ceramics from the firm Mason's.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Robert is the dealer.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38What could be the best on that fella?
0:29:40 > 0:29:41I remember Mason's.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44I remember going to a flat in Eastbourne
0:29:44 > 0:29:46and the lady had a vast collection of Mason's.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- I could do it for £50.- £50.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52And that, you know, years ago that would have been...
0:29:52 > 0:29:54What would it have been? 250, 300?
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Probably.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Isn't it extraordinary how it's plummeted.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01So, just an open...and two-handled.
0:30:01 > 0:30:06It's that lovely shape. That's a lot, lot of ceramic.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07What you were saying about, you know,
0:30:07 > 0:30:10the smart houses in New Town, Edinburgh.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14I think that would be quite attractive.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15I think that's a definite...
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- Do you think it's a definite? - ..possibility.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21OK, that's one possibility for them, but what are Margie and Oz up to?
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- Well, it says, "Please do not touch the piano."- Right.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25So, that's what it means.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35I think the sign said not to play it, Oz.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38HE PLAYS SOME CHORDS
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Very nice.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- But you don't want to buy it? - I don't want to buy it.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50That was about four chords.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- Was it?- Yeah, I do want to buy it. I can't fit it in my house.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55You're not supposed to be buying it for your house.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Jilly and James know that.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Look at this, I've never come across it before.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01It's a squeezer glass.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03So, you squeeze your lemon in the bottom.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Yeah, but it's the wrong way round for that. Isn't it?
0:31:08 > 0:31:10So, it should be out the other way.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- Isn't it?- It's like a...
0:31:12 > 0:31:16I think sometimes they were known... You can get a lemon squeezer base.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- It was a decorative device.- Oh.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- But it's a deceptive.- Oh, I see. It's a deceptive, OK. Oh, I see.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- So, you're giving a large glass to your friend...- I see.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27..but you have your normal glass for yourself and you pour a glass.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Isn't that naughty?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Tenner. Lemon squeezer base.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- It's quite a nice glass, isn't it? - Hm.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Something your...you know...
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- I think it's very funny, isn't it? - This is one of the tools
0:31:40 > 0:31:42of your business, isn't it?
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Very pretty glass.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46The fact when you look in, you see it's like a kaleidoscope.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Oh, it's lovely, isn't it? Isn't that pretty?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50You get all the...
0:31:50 > 0:31:51It's good that.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54This Victorian glass has a ticket price of ten pounds.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Can they do a deal with Martin?
0:31:57 > 0:31:58Do your best, Jilly.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Come and have a hug! I'm going to use everything...
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Oh, well, I do like my hugs.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- Now, we like this glass a lot. - Right.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Well, we don't like it at all actually,
0:32:07 > 0:32:09that's a bad way to start my negotiations.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- So...- We like it at the right price. - Yeah.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16There's a little bit of flexibility, but not a great deal.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- I would say probably... - What were you thinking? Three quid?
0:32:19 > 0:32:20- I couldn't do three.- Couldn't you?
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- I couldn't, no.- What could you do? £3.50.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28I couldn't. The best price I could do on that would be seven.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- Really?- Yeah.- Not five? - I couldn't do five.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32- Already?- Split it, six?
0:32:34 > 0:32:36No, that's not going to work!
0:32:36 > 0:32:37Jilly!
0:32:37 > 0:32:39No, my hands are tied really.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- Well, untie them. Free yourself, Martin.- Untie them. Six.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- You're a grown man. - Yeah, so my wife tells me anyway.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47Six pounds.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51- Give me a minute and I'll come back, OK?- OK, you can have a minute.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52- You can have a minute.- OK.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56Whilst the jury's out, let's see if Margie and Oz
0:32:56 > 0:32:58have seen anything they like.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- Yeah?- This is a couple.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Oh, is it? What are they doing?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Our director thought it was a woodpecker.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- MARGIE LAUGHS - I think he's had a sheltered life.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11It's not a woodpecker.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16Hm, with nothing really catching Margie and Oz's eye in here,
0:33:16 > 0:33:18and with another shop still to go,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Margie's decided to move on to pastures new.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- Ah-ha!- Ah-ha!
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- The opposition.- The opposition. Have you conquered?
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- We're off.- You're off? Why?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- Have you conquered? - We're under pressure now.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Have you... How much have you bought?
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Er, we've not bought anything here.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37So, we're on... So, we've got panic stations.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- You're at panic stations. - So, I'd love to chat...
0:33:39 > 0:33:42I've found a lovely thing for you in this cabinet.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46- Diamond hearts.- See you later. - OK, bye.- Only £3,000.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Good luck.- Bye.- Doubter!
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Now, back to the two Js and that Victorian glass.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- Here's Martin. Is it good news? - Here's Martin. Good news?
0:33:54 > 0:33:55Well, the news is I'm afraid
0:33:55 > 0:33:58it's got to stick at seven pounds, I'm afraid.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- Really?- Yeah, yeah.- 30% discount.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- I'd go for it, Jilly. - Would you?- Yeah.- OK.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04- Come on.- All right then.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07I was tough to begin with, but I'll be as soft as putty.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Martin, put it there. We can't complain about that.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11No, that's great. Thank you.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14They tried but just couldn't get Martin to six.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Still, seven pounds for the glass is nearly a third off.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27And with their shopping now complete, Jilly and James are moving on,
0:34:27 > 0:34:30heading back east to Dundee.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34This was the thriving juteopolis of the 19th century.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37The Victorian railways helped make the town
0:34:37 > 0:34:39amongst the richest in Britain
0:34:39 > 0:34:42but also caused the darkest day in the city's history.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Ian Fletcher, of the Dundee City Archives,
0:34:45 > 0:34:47is here to tell them more.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49What a glorious position we're in.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53In 1879, at the peak of the Industrial Revolution,
0:34:53 > 0:34:57Dundee was one of the wealthiest towns in Britain
0:34:57 > 0:35:00thanks to one textile, jute.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Grown in India but refined in Dundee with whale oil,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07jute was the polythene of its day.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11Below us, we're on the Law hill, or The Law as it's known,
0:35:11 > 0:35:14and we still see the remains of Dundee jute factories all around us.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Around the other side of the hill, we have Cox's Stack,
0:35:17 > 0:35:21a wonderful million-brick stack just to say how important they were,
0:35:21 > 0:35:24the biggest jute factory in Western Europe.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27The railway brought raw materials and coal into the mills
0:35:27 > 0:35:31and then got the finished jute back out to the world,
0:35:31 > 0:35:34either by ferry or a slow train inland.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38A direct route across the Tay, south to Edinburgh and beyond
0:35:38 > 0:35:41would make the journey faster and Dundee even richer.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44I think Dundee industrialists wanted to be up there
0:35:44 > 0:35:46with Manchester and Birmingham.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49They were very well aware they were pushing for city status,
0:35:49 > 0:35:50they didn't have it yet,
0:35:50 > 0:35:54and they thought a rail bridge would be that signing off,
0:35:54 > 0:35:57a wonderful piece of Victorian engineering joining it up.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01The man that got the job of building the new bridge was Thomas Bouch,
0:36:01 > 0:36:05who had already successfully built two bigger bridges in Wales.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07But under pressure to get the bridge up quickly,
0:36:07 > 0:36:10lest Dundee lose any esteem or money,
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Bouch decided he would use the cheaper but weaker cast iron
0:36:14 > 0:36:16over steel.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20Worse still, his men took shortcuts with the cast-iron girders.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Quality control was not a strong thing,
0:36:23 > 0:36:25so we do know that at the foundry,
0:36:25 > 0:36:28which was a temporary foundry, was set up in Fife.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30If there was any obvious holes in the cast iron,
0:36:30 > 0:36:33they would fill it with Polyfilla
0:36:33 > 0:36:36and then paint it to look remarkably like cast iron.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41The Tay also turned out to be muddier and deeper than expected,
0:36:41 > 0:36:44so Bouch had to redesign the supports for the bridge.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50But despite these problems and after a Board of Trade safety inspection,
0:36:50 > 0:36:53this monument to Victorian engineering
0:36:53 > 0:36:58opened as the biggest bridge in the world on 1 June 1878.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02A year later, Bouch was knighted by Queen Victoria.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06Mr Bouch was the bloke who actually, possibly, poor man,
0:37:06 > 0:37:10has been attributed with having done a bodge job in too quick a time.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14That's right. So, a classic tale of something under pressure,
0:37:14 > 0:37:15economic pressure,
0:37:15 > 0:37:18directors of the railway pushing you to get it finished
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- as quickly as possible...- Yeah.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Because... Like the Channel Tunnel.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25They were besieged by, "You didn't build it on time."
0:37:25 > 0:37:28So the same pressures were being put on the builders of the Tay Bridge.
0:37:28 > 0:37:34Those pressures were tragically revealed on 28 December 1879,
0:37:34 > 0:37:38when Typhoon-strength gales buffeted the bridge.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42At 7.15pm, a six-carriage train full of passengers
0:37:42 > 0:37:46was about 200m across when a section of the bridge collapsed.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50The entire train plunged into the icy Tay,
0:37:50 > 0:37:52killing everyone on board.
0:37:52 > 0:37:5446 bodies were recovered
0:37:54 > 0:37:57but the number of deaths may have been as high as 75.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Nowadays, if you have a very high wind,
0:38:00 > 0:38:03high bridges are closed, they wouldn't allow traffic to go across.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06But maybe they either didn't know the danger
0:38:06 > 0:38:09or they were so gung ho about getting on with their coal
0:38:09 > 0:38:11that they didn't care.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Yes. I think...
0:38:15 > 0:38:17it was beyond anybody's ken.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20I think a force 11 gale in this part of the world
0:38:20 > 0:38:22is a 250-year occurrence.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- I don't think they'd ever thought... - Oh, really?- Oh, I see.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- So, it's a freak combination. - A freak combination.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- I see. So, just really unlucky, really.- Yes.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32In the days before the welfare state,
0:38:32 > 0:38:36the disaster left families of the bereaved facing destitution.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38But the Dundonians rallied.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42That very night, church collections were held across the city
0:38:42 > 0:38:44to raise funds for the families.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48An enquiry was held into the disaster and it concluded that the bridge
0:38:48 > 0:38:51was badly designed, badly built and badly maintained.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53They recommended all future bridges
0:38:53 > 0:38:56should be able to withstand the highest of winds.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01Thomas Bouch lost the contract to build the new Forth Bridge,
0:39:01 > 0:39:02near Edinburgh,
0:39:02 > 0:39:05and several of his existing bridges were condemned.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08He died a ruined man just ten months after the disaster.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11But do we think that Bouch was a bad man? Was he...?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14No, he was a very successful engineer.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19Like I suppose the disaster in the oilfield, Piper Alpha,
0:39:19 > 0:39:21they just hadn't realised what could go wrong.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25But this really hit the Victorian sensibility
0:39:25 > 0:39:28because they thought this bridge was impregnable.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30But with lessons learned from the disaster
0:39:30 > 0:39:33and the enquiry's safety recommendations,
0:39:33 > 0:39:36another Tay Bridge was built just seven years later,
0:39:36 > 0:39:38right next to what was left of the old one
0:39:38 > 0:39:41and it still stands to this day.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Margie and Oz are still on the hunt,
0:39:47 > 0:39:48and are hitting the road
0:39:48 > 0:39:50four miles south, to Rait.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54They're coming to Rait Antiques Centre -
0:39:54 > 0:39:57home to a whole host of different antique businesses
0:39:57 > 0:39:59all on the same site.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Their first stop is Carse Antiques, run by Andrew.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04- Hi.- Hello.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- I'm Margie and this is Oz. - Hi, I'm Andrew.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10- Hi, Andrew.- You're Andrew, yes.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- And this is yours? - This is my shop.- Yeah.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15So we're going to have a quick look round, if that's all right.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- Please do.- Yeah.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20If you've got any suggestions, we're always happy to listen to them.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- I'll have a think about it. - Would you?
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Clock's ticking, you two.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33This Hardy salmon gaff might be worth looking at.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38- Right.- Obviously, Hardy were the best makers of fishing tackle.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- This is a wading gaff.- Mm.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Which was obviously used to wade out into the river.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45So you don't fall over.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- This is a protection thing here? - Protection thing.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49This would stab your finger.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Margie, don't move. I want to see how sharp this is.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- That's very sharp.- Is it?
0:40:56 > 0:40:59That's very sharp. I'm putting this straight back on the end.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- Late 19th century? - Probably early 20th.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03Probably about 1910 to 1920.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Oz seems taken with it.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10There's no ticket price. So where does Andrew start the negotiation?
0:41:10 > 0:41:15- That is £65. - MARGIE LAUGHS
0:41:15 > 0:41:16Slightly more than I expected.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- What were you expecting? - Where's the silver then?
0:41:20 > 0:41:22No silver, I'm afraid.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- Can we just pop it on one side? - Certainly.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28It's a maybe. But they need to start finding definites.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- Is that a set?- This is a... Oh, it's a... Is it...?
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Is something missing or...?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- It's loads of rulers.- Yeah.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38- In a box?- In a box.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42They are rather beautiful things.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45These Victorian boxwood rulers are from Stanley of London,
0:41:45 > 0:41:49makers of fine engineering instruments that helped design,
0:41:49 > 0:41:53draw and map out an empire. Ticket price is £100.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57But this is, again, me finding something which attracts me,
0:41:57 > 0:42:01but may not attract anybody else in the British Isles.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03For the time being, shall we move on a bit?
0:42:03 > 0:42:05There's three other places to look at.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07But we're getting a few ideas, aren't we?
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Yeah, they're not ruling them in or ruling them out.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Time to find another vendor.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15How about Nicky?
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- Hi.- Hiya.- How are you? - Very well, thank you.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- This is Oz.- Hi, Oz. - And you are?- Nicky.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25- Hi, Nicky.- Welcome to Rait. - Thank you very much.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- The hot Rait.- Yeah, it's roasting, isn't it?
0:42:28 > 0:42:30- It's supposed to rain today. - It's on its way.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32THEY LAUGH
0:42:32 > 0:42:35We are going to have a look round. In desperation.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37They are feeling the pressure.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41- These look quite nice. - What are those?
0:42:44 > 0:42:45Are those rolling pins?
0:42:45 > 0:42:50Yeah. They were like gifts from... Actually, sailors gifts really.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- A friend's gift?- Yeah. - You can't spell friend.- Oh.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56That's five quid off.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Bristol blue.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02- Bristol blue is...?- Is the powder that was used to make the glass.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06These glass rolling pins - or salts as they were known
0:43:06 > 0:43:08because they stored precious salt -
0:43:08 > 0:43:11were used as gifts to loved ones from sailors
0:43:11 > 0:43:15and sold in ports like Bristol in the 18th and 19th centuries.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18The ticket price is 66, but can Nicky do a deal?
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- Right, I've spoken to Donald, the dealer.- Yes.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24And he is happy to give you them for £15 each.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26So basically, buy one get one free.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29Oh, that's... We've got to have these.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32- I think we do.- For £15 each. Get your hand in there.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35I think these are... There is something about some I rather...
0:43:35 > 0:43:38- And I think it's the history. - They are beautiful.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41And I like the idea that you could actually quietly go down
0:43:41 > 0:43:43and make yourself some scones with these if you wanted.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45Oz, shake Nicky's hand quick.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47Let's shake the hands. Goody.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49- Thank you very much.- My pleasure.
0:43:49 > 0:43:53Fantastic! A deal on the salts at £30 for the pair.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58Now how about those items back at Andrew's place?
0:44:00 > 0:44:04Ah, yes, the rulers that helped rule an empire.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06Right, so you really like these, don't you?
0:44:06 > 0:44:09Across the room, I just was drawn to them.
0:44:09 > 0:44:14There was something sort of serious and respectful about them
0:44:14 > 0:44:16that I rather liked.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19You seem keen, so let's just get the final countdown.
0:44:19 > 0:44:24Remember the ticket price was 100. How low will Andrew go?
0:44:24 > 0:44:26The best I could do on those would be £60.
0:44:27 > 0:44:34Earlier we saw the fishing...the Hardy. What was the price on that?
0:44:34 > 0:44:38- 65 was the price on that. - Yeah, yeah. And that would be...?
0:44:38 > 0:44:41What could you give us on that?
0:44:41 > 0:44:43I could only come down to 60 on that.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45- That would be really it on that. - If we had the two...
0:44:45 > 0:44:47I was just thinking, if we had the two, can you give us
0:44:47 > 0:44:49a price on the two?
0:44:49 > 0:44:51I'll go to 110 if you take them both.
0:44:51 > 0:44:55This is our last place. We are just about to call it a day.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57What about 105?
0:44:57 > 0:45:00I'm not going to argue over five pounds. You've got a deal at 105.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03- 105.- Thank you.- Thanks, Andrew.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05- BELL RINGS - Sorry to be such...
0:45:05 > 0:45:08- Turning the screws.- The bells go.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10THEY LAUGH
0:45:10 > 0:45:11They're chiming.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13Hallelujah that was.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15Hallelujah indeed!
0:45:15 > 0:45:17That's the last deal of the trip done.
0:45:17 > 0:45:21The rulers and the angler's gaff picked up for a bargain £105.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27So that's both our teams all bought up.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30But what will they make of the competition?
0:45:31 > 0:45:34- I presume there's some under there? - Stop touching our stuff!- Sorry.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37- Is it very delicate? - I think... Come on, come on.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Reveal all.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41One, two, three.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44- Oh!- Look at that. - That's lovely, a lovely box.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47- We love our box.- That's lovely.
0:45:47 > 0:45:48Have you checked that in?
0:45:48 > 0:45:51No, not yet. No, funnily enough, it might just pass.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54It might just pass as hand luggage, that one.
0:45:54 > 0:45:58- Has it got a name or maker?- Yes. - It has got a maker. Funnily enough.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00- Yes?- Regrettably, a Glasgow maker.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03- Oh, right. Oh, what a shame! - I think that's...
0:46:03 > 0:46:05That won't do well in Edinburgh.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08It's like having a Liverpool maker in Manchester.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11Quality, yes. How much is the box? It's a very pretty box.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13- I love it.- What would you give me for it, Margie?
0:46:13 > 0:46:15I love it. I would give you 40 for that.
0:46:15 > 0:46:19Would you? It's Regency. It's got a Regency paper interior. Satinwood.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22- Can I touch it? No, I can't touch it.- Painted.- That is gorgeous.
0:46:22 > 0:46:25We gave away big money for this. We went large.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27- 100 quid?- No, larger.- More than.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30- Lots for that. I love it!- Is it...? - 160.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33- 165.- Well done.- It's gorgeous. I absolutely love it.
0:46:33 > 0:46:37I absolutely love it too. I fell for it. But it's a lot of money.
0:46:37 > 0:46:39We saw nothing like that all the way through.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41Much better to go down with a good piece
0:46:41 > 0:46:43than to go down with a bad piece.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46THEY LAUGH
0:46:46 > 0:46:49- How true is that in life? - How could you say that?
0:46:49 > 0:46:52'OK, that was the big table. But what about the wee table?'
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Ta-da!
0:46:54 > 0:46:58- What have you got? Oh! - Hey, look at that!
0:46:58 > 0:47:02- Oh, what have you got? - Oh, I like that!
0:47:02 > 0:47:06- Back to school, isn't it? - How unusual!
0:47:06 > 0:47:09- First thing we bought was this.- The thing that you might have bought...
0:47:09 > 0:47:10There should be 14.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13- Two, four, six... - They're Twopenny Blues.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16When I was a stamp collector, aged 12,
0:47:16 > 0:47:19none of us ever had any Twopenny Blues.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Penny Black has always been rare.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23Penny Reds are quite common.
0:47:23 > 0:47:27But Twopenny Blues, we just saw 14 Twopenny Blues. They're watermarked -
0:47:27 > 0:47:29they've all got different marks around there.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31Some of them are in different condition.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33You can see they've got a different printer.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35We just thought... I just thought...
0:47:35 > 0:47:38Poor old Margie, I don't know whether she was convinced.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41- I just thought...- Let's have a crack. - Let's have a crack.- Let's have a go.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44- So what's in the box? - Couple of medals.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47I thought they'd be girlie things. They're all so boyish.
0:47:47 > 0:47:51That's why I looked so pale and drawn and wan.
0:47:51 > 0:47:55They're from Leith. This poor chap, Johnston from Leith,
0:47:55 > 0:47:58- where we are, actually. - Yes, we quite liked the idea...
0:47:58 > 0:48:00Yes, I think that's very tactical.
0:48:00 > 0:48:01- Yeah.- Keep an eye on the end.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03So here's to the auction.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06We wish you well. No, we don't.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08THEY ALL LAUGH
0:48:08 > 0:48:12- Yes, we do.- Can I just say, with my lovely little glass, cheers.
0:48:12 > 0:48:13- Cheers.- To the auction.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21What's the verdict on the opposition's item then?
0:48:23 > 0:48:27All I can say is that I know I love every one of our items more
0:48:27 > 0:48:29than I like any of theirs.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32I think that lovely painted box is just gorgeous.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35It's the most lovely thing we've seen almost.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38- Yeah.- Sounds a bit expensive to me. - They've entered the danger zone.
0:48:38 > 0:48:43I loved the blue salt rollers. Those, I think, are gorgeous.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45And they have got a real buy there,
0:48:45 > 0:48:48cos I'm sure people will put their hand up for those.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50The two items, the ruler and gaff,
0:48:50 > 0:48:52are made by the best people in the business.
0:48:52 > 0:48:56Somebody might really think they are exactly what they want
0:48:56 > 0:48:58and bid a proper price.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02- Well, I hope so, for your sake. - Oh, for my sake.- I can take the hit.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04- I can't take the public humiliation. - I'm an antique dealer.
0:49:04 > 0:49:08- The public humiliation will be just too terrible.- I can take the hit.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10- Come on, let's go.- Let's go.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12And so to auction.
0:49:12 > 0:49:15After a couple of days spent driving around the beautiful
0:49:15 > 0:49:19scenery of Angus and Perthshire, it's time to travel south, through
0:49:19 > 0:49:21the Kingdom of Fife, over the River Forth,
0:49:21 > 0:49:23and finish in Leith, Edinburgh.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28How are you celebrities feeling about the auction that awaits?
0:49:28 > 0:49:31Are we allowed to bid for our stuff if we think it's embarrassing
0:49:31 > 0:49:34- and want to have a go or are we not? - You are not, Oz.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37- Do they still do that auction ring thing?- I don't know, Oz.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40- Maybe you and I could become a ring, Jilly.- A ring?
0:49:40 > 0:49:43- We could keep the prices artificially low.- We don't want to.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46The whole object is to make the prices as high as we can.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48Then we'll have a different sort of ring.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50We will be the kind of ring which inflates the prices.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52I think Oz has seen too many films.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55Talking of films, our duo are now in Leith,
0:49:55 > 0:49:57the setting for the film Sunshine On Leith.
0:49:57 > 0:50:01It's also home to hip bars and restaurants.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03Today's auctioneers are Ramsay Cornish,
0:50:03 > 0:50:07they are housed in an 18th-century former bonded wine warehouse.
0:50:07 > 0:50:08How fitting.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10- Here they come.- Here they come!
0:50:11 > 0:50:15- Anticipation. Leap to the floor.- Morning!
0:50:17 > 0:50:20- We shouldn't look so relaxed, should we?- No, we shouldn't.
0:50:20 > 0:50:25- We should be bleeping out. Look. - Hiya.- Hello.- Good morning.
0:50:25 > 0:50:28THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:50:28 > 0:50:31Today's auctioneer is Richard Edwards.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33What does he think of our teams' bunch?
0:50:35 > 0:50:38The German vase has attracted interest.
0:50:38 > 0:50:44It's a very good example of, I think, early 20th-century art glass.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46I think it should do quite well.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48The mahogany box and rulers are a nice,
0:50:48 > 0:50:52nice example because they are very complete and in super condition.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54Technical drawing instruments,
0:50:54 > 0:50:59particularly 19th-century ones, are a big collecting area still.
0:50:59 > 0:51:03So I think that was probably a good buy and could do well.

0:51:12 > 0:51:17Jilly and James spent £252, also on five items.
0:51:17 > 0:51:21It's a packed house today, and don't forget we've got people on phones
0:51:21 > 0:51:24and online who are also going to be bidding.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26We are all good to go, so over to you, Richard.

0:52:14 > 0:52:18BANGS GAVEL Goodness, that did well!
0:52:18 > 0:52:25- That's a whisky glass for £40! - It was a beautiful glass.- Well done.
0:52:25 > 0:52:29It's another item for Jilly and James next.
0:52:29 > 0:52:32The German vase that Richard, our auctioneer, thought might do well.
0:52:32 > 0:52:36Several commissioned bids so I'll go straight in at £80.
0:52:36 > 0:52:41I'll take 85. 85. I've 90. Would you like five?

0:52:53 > 0:52:55That's even better than the tumbler.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58And puts Jilly into a commanding lead.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02- Sorry?- You've gone pink.- Have I? - THEY LAUGH
0:53:02 > 0:53:04He's matching my dress.

0:53:26 > 0:53:27BANGS GAVEL
0:53:27 > 0:53:31It's a profit but not enough to keep them in the game, I fear.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35Jilly and James' telescope is next.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43Oh, dear. And it was all going so well.
0:54:43 > 0:54:48That's Jilly and James' first loss of the day, and it's a big one.
0:54:48 > 0:54:51- THEY GROAN - Dear, oh, dear.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53- That is bad.- Oh.
0:54:53 > 0:54:56It's the ruler box that the auctioneer liked.
0:54:56 > 0:54:59Oz and Margie, this is your chance to make up some ground.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01I've got 20, 25, £30.

0:55:25 > 0:55:26Ah, another loss.
0:55:26 > 0:55:29And a chance to catch up gone.
0:55:29 > 0:55:33- You lost? Oh, it was a loss? - Gave them all up.
0:55:33 > 0:55:37And he had the nerve to be on the phone.
0:55:37 > 0:55:41Can they catch Jilly and James with the wading gaff?
0:55:41 > 0:55:44Give me £40 for the Hardy gaff.

0:56:11 > 0:56:13- Any advance on 50? - BANGS GAVEL
0:56:13 > 0:56:17They've let Jilly and James off the hook with that loss.
0:56:17 > 0:56:20Now it's Jilly and James' final item.
0:56:20 > 0:56:23A big win here and it could all be over.
0:56:23 > 0:56:25£20. Five with you, sir. I'm out.

0:56:38 > 0:56:40- That's a small profit. - BANGS GAVEL
0:56:40 > 0:56:44A small profit indeed. But will it be enough to win?
0:56:46 > 0:56:50This is Oz and Margie's last item and their last chance.
0:56:50 > 0:56:52It's down to the medals.
0:56:52 > 0:56:56£40. £40 for the two... £40 on the net.
0:56:56 > 0:56:58- We've done it.- Well done.
0:56:58 > 0:57:00£40 on the net. Where is 45 in the room?
0:57:00 > 0:57:02I'll take 50.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05It's in the room at 45. I'll take £50.
0:57:05 > 0:57:07Seated at 45. Do I see 50?
0:57:07 > 0:57:10- Nope.- Knock me down with a feather. - Still in the room at £45.
0:57:10 > 0:57:12BANGS GAVEL
0:57:12 > 0:57:15Oh, it's a profit all right.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17But is it enough to beat Jilly and James?
0:57:17 > 0:57:20We went choooooo and then we went boinggg!
0:57:20 > 0:57:22And then we've gone back up again.
0:57:22 > 0:57:25We've been in Wellington boots going through sludge.
0:57:25 > 0:57:28Let's see who is going to be quaffing fine champagne
0:57:28 > 0:57:32and who will be left sipping supermarket shandy.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35Oz and Margie started today with £400.
0:57:35 > 0:57:41And after auction costs, they made a very small profit of £1.30,
0:57:41 > 0:57:45meaning they finished the Road Trip with £401.30.
0:57:45 > 0:57:50Jilly and James also started today with £400,
0:57:50 > 0:57:54and after paying auction costs, made a profit of £35.
0:57:54 > 0:58:01This means they finish with £435 and are crowned today's winners.
0:58:01 > 0:58:04All profits go to Children In Need.
0:58:04 > 0:58:06Now, where is the bottle of champers?
0:58:06 > 0:58:08Thank you.
0:58:08 > 0:58:13- Well, we didn't make a loss, so... - I think we did pretty well, Margie.
0:58:13 > 0:58:16That's all right for you to say, Margie.
0:58:16 > 0:58:19Oz has to sit next to Jilly all the way home. Ha-ha.
0:58:22 > 0:58:25- That was good.- It was very good. - It was. Well done.
0:58:25 > 0:58:29I enjoyed that hugely. Although there were dodgy moments.
0:58:29 > 0:58:33- And I still want this... - Get your hand off my steering wheel!
0:58:33 > 0:58:35That's all for this time. Ta-ra.
