-The nation's favourite celebrities...

-Got some proper bling here.

0:00:020:00:04

-..paired up with an expert...

-What?! What?!

0:00:040:00:07

..and a classic car.

0:00:070:00:09

THEY SHOUT

0:00:090:00:11

Their mission - to scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:110:00:14

-All breakages must be paid for.

-This is a good find, is it not?

0:00:140:00:18

The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.

0:00:180:00:21

But it's no easy ride.

0:00:210:00:23

Who will find a hidden gem? Who will take the biggest risks?

0:00:230:00:27

Got my antiques head on.

0:00:270:00:29

Will anybody follow expert advice?

0:00:290:00:32

I think it is horrible!

0:00:320:00:34

-There will be worthy winners...

-This is better than Christmas!

0:00:340:00:37

-..and valiant losers.

-Sorry.

0:00:370:00:40

Time to put your pedal to the metal.

0:00:400:00:42

This is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.

0:00:420:00:45

Yeah!

0:00:470:00:48

Who is gracing today's road trip with their presence,

0:00:510:00:53

and driving away in this classic car?

0:00:530:00:57

Wow, look at this.

0:00:570:00:58

-That is nearly as old as you, Tommy.

-There is nothing as old as me.

0:00:580:01:02

Oh, yes, it is none other than legendary comedy double act Cannon and Ball.

0:01:020:01:07

-Or, as they like to be known, Tommy and Bobby.

-So who is driving?

0:01:070:01:10

-We'll toss for it.

-Go on, then. Heads.

-It's tails.

0:01:100:01:13

You know, I'm going to let you drive.

0:01:130:01:15

-Hey, first time I've won anything.

-Exactly.

0:01:150:01:18

Long before Ant and Dec, these guys were the kings of Saturday night TV.

0:01:180:01:23

Bobby's red braces and Tommy's stern demeanour made them instantly

0:01:230:01:28

recognisable across the country, and let's not forget that catchphrase.

0:01:280:01:32

-Hello there!

-Get your legs up! Rock on, Tommy.

0:01:320:01:36

Ah, they were discovered by a new generation

0:01:360:01:38

when they went into the jungle in 2005.

0:01:380:01:41

Closely followed by regular appearances on

0:01:410:01:44

Last Of The Summer Wine.

0:01:440:01:45

These evergreen talents are driving a gorgeous 1965 Sunbeam Tiger.

0:01:470:01:53

-I've never won anything with you.

-I'm telling you...

0:01:530:01:56

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! What happened? I went out first.

0:01:560:01:59

Cookery programme, I lost on that.

0:01:590:02:02

So I've never won anything, so today... I'm going to beat you!

0:02:020:02:07

Well, Tommy, help is at hand in the form of two august experts.

0:02:070:02:12

Behind the wheel on this left-hand drive

0:02:140:02:16

1974 Beetle is military-mad auctioneer Paul Laidlaw.

0:02:160:02:19

His co-pilot is auctioneer James Braxton.

0:02:190:02:23

-How's your knowledge of your celebrities, boys?

-I think Tommy was.

0:02:230:02:27

-Was he?

-Tommy was all the braces and then Bobby was taller

0:02:270:02:32

and sort of slightly... I thought his humour sort of ran slightly higher.

0:02:320:02:36

Is Bobby not the small one with the moustache?

0:02:360:02:39

Oh, jeez, we're in deep water if we don't know who we're talking about.

0:02:400:02:44

Oh, dear.

0:02:440:02:46

I hope they are not snobbish.

0:02:460:02:47

Oh, they won't be snobbish, they are good lads.

0:02:470:02:50

I think you're with Paul Laidlaw, somebody like that, I think

0:02:500:02:54

-he's called.

-Paul Laidlaw?

-I think so, aye. I think so.

0:02:540:02:57

-How long has he been lying low?

-Good question, Bobby.

0:02:570:03:00

Paul and James have got to the meeting point first,

0:03:000:03:03

-but will they know their Cannon from their Ball?

-Hello, gentlemen.

0:03:030:03:07

Hello, gentlemen, how are you?

0:03:070:03:09

-Good, nice to be here.

-We have the same hats.

0:03:090:03:11

-I can't believe it, can I? Can't believe it.

-We're doing this thing, it is me and thee.

0:03:110:03:16

-You're looking after me?

-Yes.

-And James is looking after me.

0:03:160:03:20

I am the most competitive person ever,

0:03:200:03:23

but I don't know anything about antiques.

0:03:230:03:25

He's beat me on everything we've done in show business.

0:03:250:03:28

-This is the day you die!

-Oh, I say.

0:03:280:03:30

THEY LAUGH

0:03:300:03:33

You're driving, pal.

0:03:330:03:34

ENGINE REVS

0:03:350:03:37

-Hang on, hang on!

-You're going down!

-PAUL LAUGHS

0:03:370:03:40

Well, we're going down ahead of you.

0:03:400:03:43

It is early in the day

0:03:430:03:44

and this is already shaping up to be an interesting trip.

0:03:440:03:48

If I see something quirky, I'll just pick it up and say,

0:03:480:03:50

"I like this."

0:03:500:03:51

And then my job is to turn around and say, "Well,

0:03:510:03:53

"if we can get it for that, we could maybe make a buck."

0:03:530:03:56

-That's it. There's our double act.

-Paul and Ball.

0:03:560:04:00

HE LAUGHS

0:04:000:04:02

A good double act. Paul and Ball.

0:04:020:04:05

Don't let Tommy hear that, Bobby.

0:04:050:04:07

I need to beat Mr Ball. I've got to beat him.

0:04:080:04:12

I will do my best.

0:04:120:04:14

-You will do your best.

-I will do my best.

-That's all I want.

0:04:140:04:17

That's all I want, because I NEED to win.

0:04:170:04:20

-This programme will split the act up.

-PAUL LAUGHS

0:04:200:04:24

52 years, nobody has ever split us up.

0:04:240:04:26

I've known him longer than I have known my wife.

0:04:260:04:28

-We are like an old married couple without the...

-The bitterness.

0:04:280:04:31

-Yes, you know.

-Are you sure about that?

0:04:310:04:34

With a bulging kitty of £400 each,

0:04:380:04:41

our two pairs will be travelling more than 200 miles through Yorkshire.

0:04:410:04:45

Starting in the ancient city of York

0:04:450:04:48

and winding through the beautiful dales and valleys,

0:04:480:04:50

before ending up at auction in the spa town of Harrogate.

0:04:500:04:54

Rock on!

0:04:540:04:55

Our shopping starts today in the ancient city of York,

0:04:560:05:00

home to the towering York Minster Cathedral.

0:05:000:05:04

In the 19th and 20th centuries,

0:05:050:05:07

the city's fortunes were made by railways and chocolate.

0:05:070:05:11

This is it.

0:05:110:05:12

-This is it.

-This is the moment when Mr Ball goes down.

-Yeah.

0:05:120:05:15

Our first shop for both teams is Red House Antiques.

0:05:170:05:21

And first over the threshold are Tommy and James. The shop is run by Tim.

0:05:210:05:26

Great name, great guy.

0:05:260:05:27

-What a great place.

-Fantastic, isn't it?

-Got the best antiques.

0:05:270:05:32

-I live here and I've never been in the shop.

-Well, shame on you.

0:05:320:05:35

-Give me your hand.

-I will...

0:05:350:05:37

-I'm going to slap it.

-Ow!

-LAUGHTER

0:05:370:05:40

-Not nice that. Not nice, that!

-But I'll look after you.

-LAUGHTER

0:05:400:05:44

No pain, no gain in this game, Tommy.

0:05:440:05:48

But watch out, here comes the competition.

0:05:490:05:52

-Welcome to my world.

-Thank you. I'm a bit nervous.

-PAUL CHUCKLES

0:05:520:05:56

No need for nerves, Bobby, I'm sure Paul will keep you straight.

0:05:560:06:00

-What about that jade boat?

-Why do you like that?

0:06:000:06:03

-Why do I like it? It's different, isn't it?

-It's certainly different.

0:06:030:06:07

This Chinese-style model boat, or junk to give it its correct title,

0:06:070:06:13

is ticketed as jade, currently very popular in China.

0:06:130:06:17

The asking price is £275.

0:06:170:06:20

It ain't, in my opinion, jade.

0:06:200:06:25

I think that's probably finest green glass,

0:06:250:06:27

because there's a lot of jade there for £275,

0:06:270:06:30

-even allowing for the fact... See AF?

-Yeah.

0:06:300:06:32

That terminology - As Found.

0:06:320:06:36

-As found?

-As found. And it suggests, if you get it in an auction catalogue, get it on a price ticket,

0:06:360:06:40

-it's saying, "Have a closer look, ladies and gentlemen, because there are issues with it."

-As found.

0:06:400:06:45

-All right, we'll leave that, then.

-Moving on, then. Thank you.

0:06:450:06:48

-What else will Bobby spot?

-Oh, look at that.

-Look at what?

0:06:480:06:53

A three-headed duck.

0:06:530:06:55

Oh, good luck, Paul.

0:06:550:06:57

-Oh, that's just...

-PAUL WHIMPERS

0:06:570:06:59

Hang on, but look at the price he wants, he wants 365 for it.

0:06:590:07:04

Yeah, but look at the provenance as well.

0:07:040:07:06

Provenance - The London Museum of Curiosities.

0:07:060:07:09

That would be worth every penny of that in the right quarter.

0:07:090:07:12

-Would you not buy that?

-Seriously?!

0:07:120:07:16

-A three-headed duck?!

-Oh, yeah.

-PAUL LAUGHS

0:07:160:07:19

I would, you see. You can say to people, "I've got a three-headed duck." It's fantastic, really.

0:07:190:07:24

-I'm not very good at this, am I?

-Erm...you're doing just fine.

0:07:240:07:29

But how's the competition getting on?

0:07:290:07:31

Oh, that looks familiar.

0:07:310:07:33

-Oh, I like that.

-I like that. That's a big fellow, isn't it?

-I like that.

0:07:330:07:37

-What is it? That looks...

-CLATTERING

0:07:370:07:39

-Sort of... It's moulting, Tim.

-It is moulting a little bit.

-It's moulting.

0:07:390:07:44

-Are you all right there? Yeah.

-You take that, James.

-I'll take that.

0:07:440:07:47

-Oh, eh, that's nice.

-It's a sort of...riverboat.

0:07:470:07:50

Now, the interesting thing with this is it's got quite a good stand,

0:07:500:07:55

but it's not terribly old.

0:07:550:07:58

But it doesn't seem to matter so much.

0:07:580:08:00

-Why does it not matter? Because it's jade?

-It's jade.

0:08:000:08:04

Hey, Paul wasn't so sure about that,

0:08:040:08:06

but James thinks this is the business.

0:08:060:08:09

It's almost like an object,

0:08:090:08:11

it's almost like something that you weigh and you buy on price.

0:08:110:08:16

-It seems to be a funny thing at the moment.

-Right.

0:08:160:08:19

Uh-oh, here comes trouble.

0:08:190:08:22

Get him off. You're going down!

0:08:220:08:24

You're going down! You're going down!

0:08:240:08:27

-I've already checked into this.

-It doesn't matter.

0:08:270:08:30

-And on the card it says AF. Am I right?

-You are right.

-As found.

0:08:300:08:34

-As found or...

-Yes, as found,

0:08:340:08:37

-which means it's not worth the money because it's broke already.

-LAUGHTER

0:08:370:08:40

-OK, thank you. Words of...wisdom.

-You need to go away.

0:08:400:08:43

-Will he be repeating those at the auction house when the hammer's gone down?

-No.

0:08:430:08:49

Bobby's warned them, but what are they willing to pay?

0:08:490:08:52

-Right, are you ready?

-Low.

0:08:520:08:54

-275.

-No, hating that.

-Right.

-Hating that.

0:08:540:08:57

-You're hating that, aren't you?

-Yeah, we are hating it.

-Right.

0:08:570:09:00

How about...

0:09:000:09:02

£170?

0:09:020:09:04

JAMES SIGHS

0:09:040:09:06

-What do you think?

-I think we can squeeze him further, Tommy.

-160 and we'll take it?

0:09:080:09:12

-No, I think...140.

-140?!

0:09:120:09:16

-140. 140.

-Tim, take no notice.

0:09:160:09:20

I'm not taking any notice.

0:09:200:09:21

140 and I'll get you a ticket for one of t'shows, all right?

0:09:210:09:25

-TIM LAUGHS

-I'll throw that in. I'll throw that in.

0:09:250:09:28

-Shake my hand.

-140?

-140.

-Wow!

-You've got yourself a jade boat.

0:09:280:09:32

-See what it does at the auction.

-I wanted to buy that and my expert said don't.

0:09:320:09:37

# Oh, on our boat

0:09:370:09:39

# We go down the river. #

0:09:390:09:41

-My word! They're all getting rather excited.

-Too late!

0:09:410:09:45

Tommy and James have knocked Tim down to a generous £140.

0:09:450:09:51

That's a big spend for a first item, but also a big discount,

0:09:510:09:55

if it's jade, that is, and not just a junk junk.

0:09:550:09:59

-Well done, chief.

-Well done, pal.

-Well done.

-Thank you, Tim.

0:09:590:10:03

Thank you, Tim. Fantastic!

0:10:030:10:05

Bobby is still keen on the man-made three-headed duckling, though.

0:10:050:10:10

When I were a kid, there was a museum high on the moors,

0:10:100:10:14

and we used to go in as kids and they had a two-headed lamb in it,

0:10:140:10:18

-a sheep with two heads.

-Yeah.

0:10:180:10:21

-I've never seen anything like that in my life.

-You don't want to see another one either, do you?

0:10:210:10:25

No, but if we get it for t'right price...

0:10:250:10:27

This taste for the bizarre is in vogue.

0:10:270:10:31

-Yeah?

-No two ways about it.

0:10:310:10:33

-So, arguably your feelings towards that work.

-I think we should take a punt.

0:10:330:10:38

Now, priced up at £365.

0:10:380:10:41

I kid you not, I'd want it to be closer to £100 than £300.

0:10:410:10:46

I'll just have a bit of a punt with him,

0:10:460:10:48

-let's see what he has to say.

-We need to have a conversation, don't we?

0:10:480:10:51

It could be a difficult conversation if they want £265 off the ticket price.

0:10:510:10:56

-Well, good luck, everyone.

-So it's 365 at the minute?

-Yeah.

0:10:560:10:59

How does 280 sound?

0:10:590:11:02

-Not good.

-Terrifying. More terrifying than a three-headed duck.

0:11:020:11:06

It's quirky and it's a little bit different.

0:11:060:11:09

-It's something you are not going to see every day.

-Thank goodness for that.

0:11:090:11:13

Well, how much do you want to give me for it, Bobby?

0:11:130:11:16

-PAUL WHINES

-Oh!

0:11:160:11:19

-Now I'm getting worried!

-Well...

-Don't worry.

0:11:190:11:22

-150.

-150?!

0:11:220:11:24

-Maybe that's too dear.

-Paul certainly thinks so.

0:11:240:11:28

-How do you put a price on that?

-You can't.

-It's unique. And that...

0:11:300:11:34

And that's a powerful lever but, I tell you what, it leaves it all up in the air.

0:11:340:11:38

But you certainly can't put a price of 365 on it.

0:11:380:11:41

It's a hell of a discount, 365 to 150.

0:11:410:11:45

-150? I thought I said 120?

-No, you said 150.

0:11:450:11:48

LAUGHTER

0:11:480:11:50

LAUGHTER DROWNS OUT CONVERSATION

0:11:500:11:53

150.

0:11:530:11:55

Oh, give us your money.

0:11:550:11:57

-I think you've just bought something.

-I'm only saying...

0:11:570:11:59

-You won't go lower than that?

-No, no, no. That's it.

0:11:590:12:03

-This is the point of no return.

-150?

-It's £150.

0:12:030:12:06

-You love it.

-We'll have that.

-Are you buying it? Shake me hand. Give me your money.

-OK.

0:12:060:12:11

Bobby's taken a big bite out of the ticket price

0:12:110:12:15

and has snapped up the three-headed duckling for £150,

0:12:150:12:19

less than half price.

0:12:190:12:21

It's a...unique item, and he clearly loves it,

0:12:210:12:25

but will it fly at auction?

0:12:250:12:27

It's stand out and if it grabs a couple of people like it grabbed you and Tim...

0:12:270:12:32

-it could be all right.

-If not, we've lost.

0:12:320:12:35

So that was Ball, but what's Cannon up to?

0:12:350:12:38

If you look at it, porcelain is all about condition.

0:12:380:12:41

Fittingly for York, they've found a pot for drinking chocolate.

0:12:410:12:44

-Oh, it's from Hungary. Hungary! Have you ever been to Hungary?

-No.

-I have.

0:12:440:12:49

-Have you? Is it nice?

-Beautiful.

0:12:490:12:51

I've been on a diet, but I've not been Hungary.

0:12:510:12:53

Ha-ha! Herend Porcelain was founded in 1826,

0:12:530:12:57

and became known for supplying the royal families of Europe.

0:12:570:13:00

Their patterns are named after famous customers,

0:13:000:13:03

and this one called Rothschild's Birds is named after the famous banking family.

0:13:030:13:08

Ticket price is £145.

0:13:080:13:10

-What's the deal on that?

-It's got to be low, Tim.

0:13:100:13:13

You've got to give us a chance. You know what I'm saying here, Tim, don't mess us about.

0:13:130:13:17

-Now...

-I'm sort of 30, 40.

0:13:170:13:20

-TIM LAUGHS

-That sort of...

0:13:200:13:23

-You...

-60 quid.

0:13:230:13:26

-60 quid.

-Can you not do 70?

0:13:260:13:29

-I think there'll be a beautiful posh lady in Harrogate desperate for that.

-Yeah.

0:13:290:13:34

-At sort of 55.

-At...55 tops.

0:13:340:13:38

-Come on, Tim.

-It's a deal for me. Oh, sorry, Tim.

0:13:380:13:41

-He's the man, I'm not selling it.

-Put it there.

-What about 60?

-55.

-55.

0:13:410:13:46

-Good lad.

-Go on, that's the way.

-It's a deal. It's done.

0:13:460:13:50

-It's all about the posh porcelain.

-Bang, into Harrogate.

0:13:500:13:54

Another bargain in the bag there.

0:13:540:13:57

These two are shopping up a storm!

0:13:570:13:59

-Thanks, Tim.

-Well done. Yeah, lovely. I like a man hug. Come on.

0:13:590:14:03

-LAUGHTER

-I feel a bit of bromance.

-Hey, come on, Tommy!

0:14:030:14:07

-Let's get going.

-Bally, you're going down!

-He's going down. Come on.

0:14:070:14:12

Sounds like a new catchphrase, Tommy.

0:14:120:14:15

But out on the road, the boys are talking about Bobby's old one.

0:14:150:14:18

I get that all the time. "Rock on, Tommy."

0:14:180:14:22

And then they go, "How are you, Tommy?" I say, "I'm not Tommy."

0:14:220:14:25

"But you said rock on, Tommy."

0:14:250:14:27

I say, "That's Tommy, me partner, I'm Bobby.

0:14:270:14:30

"It doesn't rhyme, does it, rock on Bobby? It's rock on, Tommy."

0:14:300:14:32

Then I get a whole conversation with them. So now I just nod me head, "Aye, all right."

0:14:320:14:37

Like you've never heard it before.

0:14:370:14:38

Our other antique hunters, Tommy and James,

0:14:410:14:44

are adventuring 14 miles west to Barmby Moor.

0:14:440:14:48

-How long have you and Bobby been together?

-53 years this year.

0:14:480:14:53

-That's amazing!

-53 years.

-So, golden wedding.

0:14:530:14:57

It's being looked up at the moment,

0:14:570:14:59

we don't know whether we are the longest-serving double act in the world.

0:14:590:15:04

And there's every chance that we could be.

0:15:040:15:07

So Guinness Book Of Records are looking it up.

0:15:070:15:10

-Isn't that amazing?

-Yeah.

0:15:100:15:12

It certainly is.

0:15:120:15:14

Let's see if they can find any record-breaking bargains

0:15:140:15:18

at the next destination, Bar Farm Antiques,

0:15:180:15:21

where Dominic will be showing them around. Nice shirt.

0:15:210:15:25

-Good afternoon, gents.

-Let's do it. Come on.

-Come on with us, Dominic.

0:15:260:15:30

Come on. Come on with us.

0:15:300:15:32

Eagle-eyed Tommy has spotted something familiar,

0:15:320:15:35

it's himself in a rather fetching wrestling outfit.

0:15:350:15:38

We've got me and Bobby

0:15:380:15:41

and we had Big Daddy, who was a big lad but he was a massive wrestler in the '80s.

0:15:410:15:48

And he came onto our show. They used to knock hell out of one another.

0:15:480:15:52

And then they used to get the hell knocked out of them by the ladies with their handbags.

0:15:520:15:55

I know, the ladies used to be smacking 'em with bags and all sorts.

0:15:550:15:58

-I'm sure they had bricks in some of those.

-Yeah, I'm sure they did.

-I'm sure they did.

0:15:580:16:01

Rock on, Big Daddy.

0:16:010:16:04

I was supposed to show Bobby how to wrestle,

0:16:040:16:07

but I couldn't do it with Big Daddy, he was huge!

0:16:070:16:11

But, oh, what a memory that is.

0:16:110:16:13

Nice memories, eh? How about this for another blast from the past.

0:16:130:16:18

-Well, it's definitely of the period, isn't it?

-It is, yeah.

0:16:180:16:21

-Yeah, good pictures too.

-Yeah.

-A good likeness, I mean.

0:16:210:16:25

-You know, sometimes you don't get 'em as a good likeness.

-Yeah.

0:16:250:16:29

This Beatles souvenir plate doesn't have a maker's mark and is mass-produced,

0:16:290:16:35

but anything featuring the Fab Four can still be popular.

0:16:350:16:39

I suppose if you're a Beatles collector,

0:16:420:16:44

-you collect pretty well anything, don't you?

-They do, any Beatle memorabilia.

0:16:440:16:48

It might be the missing link in somebody's collection.

0:16:480:16:51

-TOMMY GASPS

-Wow!

0:16:510:16:53

-Wouldn't that be good? That picture...

-That would be good.

0:16:530:16:56

OK, that one's a possible.

0:16:580:17:01

Anything else?

0:17:010:17:02

-Where's the bargain?

-I think it's a matter of just finding that thing that leaps out first.

0:17:020:17:08

And what's the last thing you want leaping out at you?

0:17:080:17:11

-How about an ancient brick, guys?

-No, look at that!

0:17:110:17:14

What, and somebody's put their hand on it or foot on it?

0:17:140:17:17

"Very old handmade clamp brick with dog print."

0:17:170:17:21

-Oh, I see.

-Look at it.

-I think that's a possibility. I like that.

0:17:210:17:26

A clamp brick is one that's traditionally made in a simple kiln of bricks

0:17:260:17:31

stacked around a slow-burning fire.

0:17:310:17:35

-It's priced at...

-Yeah, ridiculous price. Come on!

0:17:350:17:39

Let's put that aside. That could be a possibility for us.

0:17:390:17:43

With two items shortlisted, it's time for a sit down and a think.

0:17:430:17:48

Where better to do it than under the Yorkshire sun.

0:17:480:17:52

Oh, thank you, sir. I eat 'em in doubles.

0:17:520:17:55

Thank you very much indeed. Look at that!

0:17:550:17:58

The only reason I wanted these was so I could dunk 'em in me tea.

0:17:580:18:00

Hey, shouldn't you be talking antiques, you lot?

0:18:000:18:04

-I never quite got dunking.

-Oh, I love it. Do you not like dunking?

-No.

0:18:040:18:08

-When all the bits drop in your tea.

-No.

-Oh, I love it, me.

0:18:080:18:11

I love it. I love dunking.

0:18:110:18:13

OK, boys, let's quit the dunking and get back to the deal.

0:18:130:18:17

What can Tommy and James get the plate and the brick for then, eh?

0:18:180:18:21

It's funny isn't it, we've scoured this place and we come up with a Beatles plate

0:18:230:18:28

-and a brick.

-Yeah, and a brick.

0:18:280:18:29

-Here are our two Bs.

-We're going to Harrogate, it's posh.

0:18:290:18:34

-Yeah.

-You know what I'm saying?

0:18:340:18:35

Very, very posh. It's Sunday afternoon in Harrogate.

0:18:350:18:38

Posh lady, will she buy that and put it in her handbag?

0:18:380:18:42

-And then, of course...

-The Fab Four.

-# Help, I need somebody

0:18:420:18:46

-# Help! #

-Yeah, but have you looked at the price? Help is what we need.

-Are you kidding me?

0:18:460:18:52

-£32.

-It's quite a nice engraving.

-It is.

0:18:520:18:55

It's a good image, but it is mass produced.

0:18:550:18:57

-Yeah, but how many are left?

-Probably literally thousands.

0:18:570:19:01

-Erm, that is the problem.

-LAUGHTER

0:19:010:19:05

-Possibly. What do you think?

-So £28, 32... That's a lot of money!

0:19:050:19:10

-It's 50.

-£50!

0:19:100:19:12

-Oh, come on.

-We can do a deal.

-Right, come on then. Do it.

0:19:120:19:16

-25.

-25?

0:19:160:19:18

-For the both of them.

-For the both of them?

-Yeah.

0:19:180:19:21

Yeah, I think that's all right. Are you happy with that?

0:19:210:19:23

-I'm happy with that.

-Come on, put it there.

-Thank you, my mate.

0:19:230:19:26

-It's a pleasure.

-Thank you, Dominic.

0:19:260:19:28

"Easy," as Big Daddy would say.

0:19:280:19:29

That's the Beatles plate for a fab price of £12 and the brick for 13.

0:19:290:19:33

Let's hope it isn't unlucky at auction.

0:19:330:19:36

I just hope the people of Harrogate appreciate the beauty in that brick.

0:19:360:19:41

Well, they'd better do, I'll tell you now.

0:19:410:19:43

And on that note, it's time to bring the curtain down on both our double acts.

0:19:430:19:47

Nighty-night, you lot.

0:19:470:19:49

It's a new day in wet Yorkshire,

0:19:520:19:54

but the rain hasn't dampened the competitiveness of our celebrities.

0:19:540:19:58

And I warned your expert.

0:19:580:20:00

I said to him, "Let me tell you something, I know where you live."

0:20:000:20:03

-Go on.

-"If you even think about letting him win..."

0:20:030:20:07

Tommy, you're 70-odd, you're not Mafia.

0:20:070:20:09

What do you mean I'm not Mafia, I'm the Godfather!

0:20:090:20:11

-The Godfather of Selby?

-Yeah.

0:20:110:20:14

-Tommy is absolutely delightful. Old pros, aren't they?

-Yeah.

0:20:140:20:19

I think the demeanour could... could change somewhat.

0:20:190:20:22

It could turn ugly. It could turn ugly if Bobby's put on the back foot.

0:20:220:20:27

So far Bobby and Paul have spent £150 on just one lot,

0:20:270:20:31

the rather unique, or terrifying if you're Paul, three-headed duckling.

0:20:310:20:36

-Would you not buy that?

-Seriously?!

0:20:360:20:39

That leaves them with £250 to spend during the day ahead.

0:20:390:20:43

I'm not very good at this, am I?

0:20:430:20:45

Tommy and James spent £220 on four items.

0:20:450:20:48

The might-be jade riverboat,

0:20:480:20:50

the Herend chocolate pot,

0:20:500:20:52

the Beatles plate and the clamp brick with paw print.

0:20:520:20:56

That leaves them £180 left to spend.

0:20:560:21:00

-Thanks, Dominic.

-Yeah, thank you.

0:21:000:21:02

Cor! Look, this place looks posh.

0:21:020:21:05

Swinton Park near Ripon.

0:21:050:21:07

You know, I look at that and I think, I wouldn't want to mow it!

0:21:070:21:10

PAUL LAUGHS

0:21:100:21:12

-I just wouldn't want to mow it.

-You've got minions for that, haven't you?

0:21:120:21:15

James may have minions at home, but on the road our celebs are in charge.

0:21:150:21:20

-Here's our boys.

-Good to see you.

0:21:200:21:22

-How you doing, Tommy?

-Yeah, good.

-LAUGHTER

0:21:220:21:25

You all right? You all right? Well done. Well done.

0:21:250:21:27

-Who's driving, compadre?

-You are today, Paul, because your driving yesterday was superb.

0:21:270:21:31

You, sir, are a gentleman.

0:21:310:21:33

-Right, here we go.

-Let's go, pal.

0:21:330:21:35

So, Paul and Bobby have hit the open road

0:21:370:21:40

and are travelling 15 miles to Pateley Bridge.

0:21:400:21:43

-What's Tommy said? Is he sitting pretty? Is he cocky?

-He's...

0:21:430:21:47

He's a bit cocky.

0:21:470:21:49

And he kept saying, "Don't worry, if I don't win I know where you live."

0:21:490:21:53

I said, "You what?" He said, "I know where you live."

0:21:530:21:55

I said, "Who do you think you are, Mafiosi?" He went, "Yeah."

0:21:550:21:58

Well, there wasn't a horse's head in my bed last night, thank goodness.

0:21:580:22:00

-Oh, it's coming.

-PAUL LAUGHS

0:22:000:22:02

He'll be looking in antique shops for a horse's head.

0:22:020:22:05

I had enough dead animals yesterday, to be honest with you.

0:22:050:22:08

Me too.

0:22:080:22:09

Nestled deep in the Yorkshire Dales, this charming little town is home

0:22:130:22:18

to an array of artists including sculptors, glass-makers and metalworkers.

0:22:180:22:22

Bobby and Paul are heading into Crow's Nest Antiques and they have a plan.

0:22:220:22:27

-We're going our separate ways and then...

-Converge.

-Yes.

0:22:270:22:31

The shop is run by the lovely Linda.

0:22:310:22:34

-Just give me a shout if you need any help.

-Thank you very much, my love.

0:22:340:22:37

-OK?

-Thank you.

-Right, are we sticking to the plan?

-Sticking to the plan.

0:22:370:22:41

Bobby and Paul are off in opposite directions,

0:22:410:22:44

but who will be the first to beat a path to a bargain?

0:22:440:22:47

I don't think they're me. I don't think they're me at all.

0:22:470:22:51

Huh. No, maybe not.

0:22:510:22:54

But maybe this Victorian standard oil lamp might be.

0:22:540:22:58

-I think this is absolutely beautiful.

-I know, it's gorgeous, isn't it?

0:22:580:23:01

-But there's no top to it, is there?

-No, there isn't a top to it, Bobby.

0:23:010:23:05

-So what's the use of it then?

-You can get that off the internet.

0:23:050:23:08

-You can get the oil off the internet now.

-Oh, brilliant.

0:23:080:23:10

This is how it works. So that goes up like that

0:23:100:23:14

-and then you fasten it tight again.

-Fantastic.

0:23:140:23:18

-You can see by all the marks, it's been up and down.

-Yeah.

0:23:180:23:21

Does the price go up and down? I don't know, I'm just asking a question.

0:23:210:23:24

-No, the price goes up as well.

-Does it? Does it ever come down?

0:23:240:23:28

-It can do.

-OK, we'll talk about it later.

-LINDA LAUGHS

0:23:280:23:31

It must do. This lamp comes with a hefty price tag

0:23:310:23:35

and it's nowhere near what Bobby wants to pay.

0:23:350:23:37

(It's 195! It's 195, but I'm not paying that.)

0:23:370:23:41

I want to try and get her down, but she doesn't know that yet.

0:23:410:23:45

She's a lovely woman, but it's a bit dear.

0:23:450:23:48

Paul has also spotted something he rather likes.

0:23:500:23:53

This Victorian long box where a lady would keep her evening gloves.

0:23:530:23:58

It's an unusual thing, is it not?

0:23:580:24:01

But, wait a minute, what do we have here?

0:24:010:24:04

Glove stretchers.

0:24:040:24:06

You've seen these before, but just in case you've not,

0:24:060:24:09

solutions to the problem of getting your skin-tight leather gloves on

0:24:090:24:14

to perhaps stretch the leather.

0:24:140:24:16

And your tool to stretch your gloves is here.

0:24:160:24:21

There we go. Up into a digit,

0:24:210:24:24

squeeze, squeeze, and there you go.

0:24:240:24:27

So you've got the box, the gloves and the accoutrements.

0:24:270:24:31

Great stuff!

0:24:310:24:33

And who doesn't like a little bit of leather of an evening?

0:24:330:24:36

Hey! But there's another little twist to this glove box.

0:24:360:24:40

And the clue is this key.

0:24:400:24:42

What do you need to wind up? Clocks and clockwork mechanisms,

0:24:420:24:47

perhaps driving a musical box.

0:24:470:24:49

And that's what you've got!

0:24:490:24:51

Do I risk it?

0:24:510:24:53

MUSIC PLAYS

0:24:530:24:55

HE LAUGHS

0:24:550:24:57

That transports you, does it not?

0:24:590:25:01

MUSIC PLAYS

0:25:010:25:03

Therein is the joy of antiques. Man!

0:25:030:25:06

I'm back in 1870, getting ready to go to the ball!

0:25:060:25:09

And the belle of the ball's getting her gloves on!

0:25:090:25:12

I love it! Do I love the price?

0:25:120:25:15

At £195, love comes at a hefty cost.

0:25:150:25:19

The question is, how much slack is in that price?

0:25:190:25:23

The answer will need to be a lot,

0:25:230:25:27

because both the glove box and the lamp are priced at £195.

0:25:270:25:31

-With only 250 left, something has to give.

-Linda, have you got a minute?

0:25:310:25:36

-Yes.

-First of all, I want to talk to you.

-Yes?

0:25:360:25:39

Listen to this, I find you a very, very attractive lady.

0:25:390:25:41

SHE LAUGHS

0:25:410:25:43

-You're very attractive.

-Thank you very much

-Beautiful smile.

-Thank you.

0:25:430:25:48

-And lovely scent.

-Lovely.

-What is it, Dettol?

-SHE LAUGHS

0:25:480:25:51

-Listen. Are you listening?

-I am listening.

0:25:510:25:54

-What's the lowest price you can go on this?

-Erm...

0:25:540:25:57

-I can do you a really good price on this, Bobby, actually.

-What is it?

0:25:570:26:01

I can do it for...erm...

0:26:010:26:05

The suspense is killing me.

0:26:060:26:09

-Look into my eyes...

-I am looking in your eyes, don't worry.

0:26:090:26:12

BOTH LAUGH

0:26:120:26:14

DON'T ask me for any more, under no circumstances ask me for any more,

0:26:140:26:19

-it's 80 quid.

-I think we can go for that.

-Tempted, aren't you?

0:26:190:26:23

I'm not saying yes yet, but it's very good, because you're beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

0:26:230:26:28

-What's the price you can give us on this?

-Now then, this, I can't do too much on this.

0:26:280:26:33

-But remember you're giving it to Bobby Ball, that's what you're doing.

-I am.

0:26:330:26:37

Who's made you laugh for many years - for nothing!

0:26:370:26:40

-PAUL LAUGHS

-I haven't got a lot in this.

0:26:400:26:42

-Have you not?

-I haven't. I haven't got a lot of play in this.

0:26:420:26:45

So I can do this for 160.

0:26:450:26:47

That's a total of £240, which would only leave Bobby and Paul

0:26:470:26:51

£10 to buy any more items.

0:26:510:26:53

-But there might be a solution.

-If I said we can lower this price

0:26:530:26:58

and maybe take something else...

0:26:580:27:01

-So a bigger deal, more things, might squeeze a wee bit more out?

-Yeah, it will.

0:27:010:27:05

-It will.

-Can I then show you both...

0:27:050:27:10

-something else.

-Yep.

0:27:100:27:12

You can, Paul, but it had better be cheap.

0:27:120:27:15

-This isn't silver, is it?

-It isn't, no, it's silver plate.

0:27:150:27:19

-I couldn't see a price on it.

-Right, the price of this is £32.

0:27:190:27:23

Not a bad starting point.

0:27:230:27:26

This 19th-century miniature coffee service

0:27:270:27:30

is very similar in style to that of the modernist designer Christopher Dresser.

0:27:300:27:36

So in an auction,

0:27:360:27:37

if we can state that that is in the style of Christopher Dresser,

0:27:370:27:42

it's worth £30-£50.

0:27:420:27:44

I think that's a good, safe-ish bet.

0:27:440:27:46

I can tell you for nothing, that's a gamble and so is the lamp.

0:27:460:27:51

My question to you is...are you a gambling man?

0:27:510:27:55

Are you prepared to gamble on good things that have got a fighting chance?

0:27:550:27:59

If it's going to help you, then I'll do the lamp for 60.

0:27:590:28:03

-Of course it does! Manna from Heaven!

-LINDA LAUGHS

0:28:030:28:06

We've got movement!

0:28:060:28:08

He's getting excited. He does this, he gets excited.

0:28:080:28:12

That's three items they've managed to squeeze into their budget now.

0:28:120:28:16

-Could they manage a fourth?

-Is there anything else? Did you look at those spoons?

0:28:160:28:20

I did look at those spoons! I did look at those spoons.

0:28:200:28:24

Are you serious? Are you reading my mind or are you watching me?

0:28:240:28:26

-SHE LAUGHS

-Shall we?

-Very interesting.

0:28:260:28:29

They're quirky, they're interesting, they'd look fantastic in a kitchen.

0:28:290:28:33

They're a nice decorative item, I think.

0:28:330:28:36

So, it looks like the free ladles with a ticket price of £9 each are part of the deal now, too.

0:28:360:28:42

Linda must be in a generous mood.

0:28:420:28:44

-For the lamp, 60 quid. And...for this little set, £20.

-OK.

0:28:440:28:51

For those, £20.

0:28:510:28:54

-100.

-For the musical box, 140.

0:28:540:28:59

-That's 240.

-That's just ten under their budget.

0:28:590:29:03

Can Bobby's charm wring any last-minute concessions out of Linda?

0:29:030:29:07

I'll tell you what...

0:29:070:29:08

why don't you give us these three for ten quid?

0:29:080:29:12

And that'll give us a fighting chance. Otherwise, Tommy beats me.

0:29:120:29:16

OK.

0:29:160:29:17

Is that 230 now?

0:29:170:29:19

What a double act, eh?

0:29:190:29:21

They have been bold and they've spent big.

0:29:210:29:24

They got the glove box, the oil lamp, the coffee service,

0:29:240:29:27

and finally the three ladles for a total of £230,

0:29:270:29:31

which still leaves them with £20.

0:29:310:29:33

That is great work, chaps.

0:29:330:29:35

-Nice to meet you, Bobby.

-And you.

-All the best. Good luck.

0:29:350:29:38

-And I'll be watching and I hope you win.

-Thanks a lot, Linda.

-OK.

0:29:380:29:41

-Bye, love.

-Thank you.

-Bye.

-Bye.

0:29:410:29:44

While Bobby and Paul have been slogging it out at Pateley Bridge,

0:29:440:29:48

Tommy and James have headed 87 miles north to the very heart of North Yorkshire, Richmond.

0:29:480:29:54

-It never gets any easier getting out of this, does it?

-Never gets any easier.

0:29:540:29:58

-You bang your head, everything.

-Let's hope you didn't bang it too hard.

0:29:580:30:02

York House may be the last chance to buy antiques today.

0:30:020:30:06

Luckily, owner Christine is on hand to see them all right.

0:30:060:30:09

-Hello.

-Oh, hello, Tommy.

-Nice to see you, darling.

0:30:090:30:12

-Hello.

-Hello, James.

-Hello.

0:30:120:30:13

The boys still have £180 left and not a lot of time to spend it.

0:30:130:30:19

-Better get shopping.

-This is nice, isn't it?

0:30:190:30:23

You know, it's all about searching, isn't it?

0:30:230:30:26

-Yeah, and looking.

-Looking.

0:30:260:30:28

Well, you know best, you're the expert, so it's...

0:30:280:30:31

Nicely delegated there, Tommy.

0:30:310:30:33

-Tommy, something I saw caught my eye when I came in here...

-Yeah.

0:30:330:30:36

-..is this little fellow. It's sort of Edwardian, late-Victorian.

-Right.

0:30:360:30:40

-Silver.

-Yeah.

-So we've got the lion passant there,

0:30:400:30:43

-but it's missing a stopper.

-Oh, right.

0:30:430:30:46

So, why would you have that? You'd have that to stop evaporation.

0:30:460:30:50

-So it'd be something like perfume, so something alcohol based that would evaporate.

-Right.

0:30:500:30:56

-Just have a feel, cos sometimes the eyes...

-It's nice.

0:30:560:31:00

The eyes can lie.

0:31:000:31:02

-Well, it's nicely cut, isn't it?

-How much?

0:31:020:31:05

-I haven't even looked at that.

-48.

0:31:050:31:07

-We want to deal, though.

-We want a real deal.

-25 quid.

-25, 30.

-Yeah.

0:31:070:31:11

-30 tops.

-Go on, you do the deal with Christine.

-I'll do the deal.

0:31:110:31:15

-Where's Christine now?

-Christine?

0:31:150:31:18

-Go on. You know the form.

-Come here, my lovely.

0:31:180:31:21

-My lovely Christine.

-Hello.

-Let me tell you...we quite like that.

-Yes.

0:31:210:31:27

But we could do with a bit of a deal on it.

0:31:270:31:30

What about, between you and me now, right...

0:31:300:31:33

JAMES LAUGHS

0:31:330:31:35

25?

0:31:350:31:37

It's a bit low. It's a bit low, that, really.

0:31:370:31:40

-It's a bit low.

-So...

-It's 48.

0:31:400:31:44

-30 quid? 30?

-30?

0:31:440:31:47

-30.

-Go on, then, Tommy.

-Yes!

-Thank you.

-30.

-Oh, very kind.

0:31:470:31:52

-Thank you very much. That's lovely.

-Thank you. That gives us a chance, doesn't it?

-Yeah, it does.

0:31:520:31:56

-And that deal wraps up the shopping.

-£30.

-Thank you very much, Tommy.

0:31:560:32:00

-Thank you.

-I hope you do well with it.

-Thank you.

0:32:000:32:02

-We've done it now.

-Yeah.

-It's in the bag.

0:32:020:32:04

And finally, to auction.

0:32:050:32:07

After clocking up a couple of hundred miles

0:32:070:32:09

through the rugged beauty of Yorkshire,

0:32:090:32:11

our dealing duos are heading to auction

0:32:110:32:14

in the Victorian spa town of Harrogate.

0:32:140:32:16

There's certainly no muck here,

0:32:160:32:18

but will there be any brass?

0:32:180:32:20

-It's a lovely place.

-It is, nice.

0:32:210:32:24

Anyway, we'll find out today if I like it. If I win, I'll love it.

0:32:240:32:27

If I don't win, I'm not a lover. That's the end to it.

0:32:270:32:30

Not long until you find out, Bobby.

0:32:300:32:33

Famous for its health-giving waters and beautiful gardens,

0:32:330:32:36

Harrogate, or Harrow-gate, depending on your mood,

0:32:360:32:39

consistently charts in polls of the best places to live in the UK.

0:32:390:32:44

In 2014, they even finished a stage of the Tour de France here.

0:32:440:32:48

But who will cross the line as winners today?

0:32:480:32:51

Good morning to you, how are you doing?

0:32:510:32:52

-I'm good, mate, how are you?

-I'm all right.

0:32:520:32:54

-James, how are you?

-Very good, how are you?

0:32:540:32:57

-You're going down.

-You can't use mine! That's mine, that!

0:32:570:33:00

Down, you're going down!

0:33:000:33:01

Today's auction house is the Harrogate Auction Centre.

0:33:010:33:05

They've only been going for three years, but our auctioneer

0:33:050:33:07

George Allen has been in the business for nearly 40 years.

0:33:070:33:10

What are his thoughts on the two more unique items our teams bought?

0:33:100:33:15

The 19th-century clamped brick. I think a dog's walked through it.

0:33:150:33:19

Bit different, quirky, very good.

0:33:190:33:22

Cor, what can we say about this?

0:33:220:33:24

The taxidermy piece with the three-headed duckling

0:33:240:33:28

under a glass dome.

0:33:280:33:30

Who's going to buy it? What do you do with it? Who knows?

0:33:300:33:34

Good question, George.

0:33:340:33:35

Let's just have a little reminder

0:33:350:33:37

of what our dynamic duos splashed the cash on.

0:33:370:33:41

Bobby and Paul started the road trip with £400

0:33:410:33:44

-and spent £380 on five lots.

-Thank you.

0:33:440:33:47

Tommy and James also started with £400,

0:33:470:33:49

but only spent £250 on five lots.

0:33:490:33:52

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

-Hope you do well with it.

0:33:520:33:55

The room is ready. The phone and internet bidders are poised.

0:33:550:33:58

-So let's have ourselves an auction.

-Watch this, now, this is it.

0:33:580:34:02

The first item is Tommy and James's Herend porcelain chocolate pot.

0:34:020:34:07

30, 20, 10 to start me.

0:34:070:34:08

Five anywhere. Five, star lot.

0:34:080:34:11

Five anywhere? Two bid. £2, the bid.

0:34:110:34:14

-£2!

-£2. 8 bid. 10 bid.

0:34:140:34:18

12 bid. 14 bid.

0:34:180:34:20

14? You're out, Bob? The one!

0:34:200:34:23

Try the one, Bob.

0:34:230:34:25

All out, done at 15?

0:34:250:34:27

Oh, God!

0:34:270:34:29

There's no arguing, that was a loss.

0:34:290:34:32

That's not helping Tommy's chances of winning.

0:34:320:34:34

-I think that's a bit of a success.

-Yeah.

0:34:340:34:38

That could be one of the smaller losses of the day!

0:34:380:34:41

Next up, it's one of Bobby and Paul's items, the rustic wooden ladles.

0:34:410:34:46

A lot of interest on the book.

0:34:460:34:48

A lot of interest, commission bids.

0:34:480:34:50

10, 15, 25.

0:34:500:34:54

Oh, deary, deary me. Deary me.

0:34:540:34:56

£30 bid. On the book at 35.

0:34:560:35:00

40 bid. 45. On the book at 45.

0:35:000:35:03

45, the bid. Any more?

0:35:030:35:06

-Come on!

-Good one.

-Good one, that, lads.

0:35:060:35:09

Laidlaw's ladles have served up a tasty profit.

0:35:090:35:12

Can't believe it. 35 quid.

0:35:120:35:14

I think you're racing in the lead now.

0:35:140:35:16

Next, Tommy and James's item, the Beatles plate.

0:35:160:35:21

10 to start me, five anywhere?

0:35:210:35:23

Don't go down to five too quickly.

0:35:230:35:25

Five bid, £7.50. 10 bid. £10, the bid.

0:35:250:35:28

Any advance on 10, any more? 15 bid.

0:35:280:35:32

15, the bid. At £15.

0:35:320:35:36

-There we go, three quid profit.

-It's a result.

-How did I know that?

0:35:360:35:40

-Because you know why?

-I'm an expert.

0:35:400:35:43

Yes, Bob is right. A whole £3 profit.

0:35:430:35:46

-But hey, they all count.

-That's all right.

0:35:460:35:48

-That's all right.

-That's all right.

0:35:480:35:51

It's Bobby's oil lamp next.

0:35:510:35:54

Will it bring a profit?

0:35:540:35:55

20 bid. 25 bid. At the back of the room, 30 bid. 35. 40 bid. 45.

0:35:550:36:01

Coming!

0:36:010:36:02

50. 55, 60 bid.

0:36:020:36:05

-65.

-Oh, no!

-65 bid.

0:36:050:36:08

-That's cheap.

-75.

0:36:080:36:09

£80 the bid.

0:36:090:36:12

85 bid. 90 bid. 95.

0:36:120:36:16

At 95.

0:36:160:36:18

Who's an expert, who's an expert? Who's an expert? Me!

0:36:200:36:22

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:36:220:36:27

That were brilliant, that.

0:36:270:36:30

He's got the antiques bug, all right. And also a tidy profit.

0:36:300:36:33

Next, it's time for the brick. This will be interesting.

0:36:350:36:38

-Who bought this one?

-Tommy.

-Me.

-It's a brick.

0:36:380:36:42

-There's a story behind that.

-It's a brick.

0:36:420:36:45

It's a brick with a dog's paw in.

0:36:450:36:46

-500 to start me.

-Yes, yes, yes, yes!

0:36:460:36:50

-Good start!

-£200 to start me?

-We can only go up from there.

0:36:500:36:53

£50 to start me on the brick.

0:36:530:36:57

10 to start me. Five, anywhere?

0:36:570:37:00

-Oh, five bid.

-Yes, sir, yes, sir!

-Are you crackers?!

0:37:000:37:04

Five bid, any advance on five?

0:37:040:37:06

-Six, he says. Eight, bid.

-I'll sign it.

0:37:060:37:11

-12 bid. 14 bid.

-Yes.

-16.

0:37:110:37:16

-Yes, sir, well done.

-18.

-Why?

-20.

-Yes!

0:37:160:37:20

-22. Come on.

-Yes, come on!

-Why?

0:37:200:37:24

-24. 26.

-Yes, come on!

0:37:240:37:28

-28. 30.

-Yay!

0:37:280:37:31

30 quid? It's a brick!

0:37:310:37:35

LAUGHTER

0:37:350:37:36

32, 32. 34 bid.

0:37:360:37:39

-34 bid, 36.

-Yay!

0:37:390:37:42

36 bid, all done?

0:37:420:37:45

CHEERING

0:37:450:37:48

I can't believe you've all been bidding for a brick!

0:37:480:37:52

Wonders will never cease. A profit on the brick with the paw print.

0:37:540:37:59

Oh... I can't get me breath!

0:37:590:38:03

Next is Bobby and Paul's coffee service

0:38:030:38:06

in the style of Christopher Dresser.

0:38:060:38:08

What's in a name, I wonder?

0:38:080:38:10

20? 10? 5? 5 bid.

0:38:100:38:13

-Any advance on 5?

-I think that's enough, don't you?

0:38:130:38:16

10 bid, 15. 15 bid. Any more?

0:38:160:38:20

17.50, he's back in. 17.50?

0:38:200:38:24

20 bid. Any more? All done...

0:38:240:38:26

22.50. New bidder.

0:38:260:38:28

22.50 bid. All done at 22.50?

0:38:280:38:34

Well done, well done. Profit again.

0:38:340:38:38

It's a very slim profit, though. Paul had high hopes for that.

0:38:380:38:42

Bad luck, old chap.

0:38:420:38:44

It's the silver-mounted cut-glass perfume bottle next.

0:38:450:38:48

Very pretty but will it make money?

0:38:480:38:51

5 bid. It's cut glass as well, remember.

0:38:510:38:53

5 bid. 7.50. 10 bid.

0:38:530:38:57

12.50, 15. 17.50. 20 bid.

0:38:570:39:02

-22.50.

-Keep it going!

-Shh, wait!

-25... 7.50.

0:39:020:39:05

27.50.

0:39:050:39:07

Finished at 27.50.

0:39:070:39:11

Number 30.

0:39:110:39:13

Well, Tommy, to use what you say, to use what you say, you're going down.

0:39:130:39:17

-THEY LAUGH

-You just did.

0:39:170:39:20

Another loss. That is a shame.

0:39:220:39:24

-Oh, man.

-Tommy, what's happening?

-I don't know what's happening here.

0:39:240:39:29

It's Bobby and Paul's glove box next.

0:39:290:39:31

Paul did admit this one was a gamble.

0:39:310:39:34

Can we see £100 to start me? 20? 20 bid.

0:39:340:39:38

£20, the bid. Any advance on 25, bid 30, bid £30 there.

0:39:380:39:43

35, 40 bid. 45 bid.

0:39:430:39:46

45 bid. Any advance on 45? Any advance on 45?

0:39:460:39:52

50 bid. £50, the bid.

0:39:520:39:54

-55. Any advance on 55?

-Behave yourself!

0:39:540:39:58

Are you all done at £55?

0:39:580:40:01

Uh-oh.

0:40:020:40:04

That's a big hit and it's pushed Tommy and James into a strong lead.

0:40:040:40:07

-I'll tell you what, though, it's fantastic fun.

-It is good fun.

0:40:070:40:11

Next, it's the item Bobby and Paul were wary of.

0:40:110:40:15

-Will the buyers think it's jade?

-Another super lot, ladies and gents.

0:40:150:40:18

-Be careful with that now!

-£50 to start me. 20.

0:40:180:40:22

-20 bid.

-Oh, God, we're out again.

-40, 50 bid.

0:40:220:40:25

-£50, 60. 70.

-Come on.

-Keep it going.

0:40:250:40:29

-Beautiful piece. 80 bid.

-Come on.

-£80, the bid.

0:40:290:40:32

£80, the bid, any more?

0:40:320:40:35

-Don't get that gavel up. Don't...

-Finished? Sure? At £80, the bid.

0:40:350:40:40

-It's gone, number 39.

-They've just lost £60.

0:40:400:40:44

-That's fantastic.

-Thank you very much for that(!)

0:40:480:40:51

Bobby did warn you, Tommy. Looks like the buyers weren't convinced either.

0:40:530:40:58

That's brought Bobby and Paul right back in the race.

0:40:580:41:01

-You can't win them all.

-You can't, I haven't won one yet!

0:41:030:41:06

It's all come down to the final item and they've saved the best till last.

0:41:060:41:10

I bought it for 150,

0:41:100:41:12

so we have to sell it for at least £100 for me and him to beat you two.

0:41:120:41:17

The room is ready.

0:41:180:41:20

The phone bidders are poised, so let's have ourselves an auction!

0:41:200:41:24

There we go, can we see £100 to start me?

0:41:240:41:28

-£100? £50 to start me?

-30.

-50?

0:41:280:41:32

-20? 30?

-10.

-10! £30 anywhere?

0:41:320:41:36

20?

0:41:370:41:39

-10? Tom, shut up!

-Oh, tempers are fraying!

0:41:390:41:43

£10, any advance on 10?

0:41:430:41:46

15. 20.

0:41:460:41:49

-£20.

-It's all right, it's going up now.

0:41:490:41:52

25 bid. Any more?

0:41:520:41:53

Three heads are better than one.

0:41:530:41:55

-25 bid.

-Get the gavel up, mate, get the gavel up.

0:41:550:41:58

30 bid, new bidder. Any advance on 30?

0:41:580:42:02

Any more? All done?

0:42:020:42:04

Are you absolutely sure? At £30.

0:42:040:42:09

Only bidder...

0:42:090:42:10

CHEERING

0:42:100:42:13

I bought that... I'm walking, I'm walking.

0:42:130:42:17

-That's it, we've lost.

-At least Bobby bought it with his heart.

0:42:210:42:25

That's the first competition I've ever lost with you.

0:42:250:42:27

Never mind, quack, quack, quack!

0:42:290:42:31

So, is Bobby right? Let's have a look.

0:42:330:42:35

Bobby and Paul started the Road Trip with £400.

0:42:350:42:38

They went for it and spent £380.

0:42:380:42:41

But after auction costs, made a loss of £226.25.

0:42:410:42:46

Leaving them with £173.75.

0:42:460:42:49

Tommy and James also started with £400.

0:42:510:42:54

After costs, they made a loss too of £107.73.

0:42:540:43:00

This has left them with a grand total of £292.27.

0:43:000:43:06

Which makes them the winners and allows me finally to say...

0:43:060:43:11

Rock on, Tommy!

0:43:110:43:12

Some you win, some you lose. Congratulations, my expert.

0:43:120:43:16

-We've had a fantastic time.

-We've had a great time doing this.

0:43:160:43:19

-And he'll never let this go.

-I won't, I'll never let it go.

0:43:190:43:23

-Ta-ra!

-See you, guys!

0:43:230:43:24

-Thanks, fellas!

-Bye!

0:43:240:43:27

Until next time, farewell.
