0:00:02 > 0:00:04- The nation's favourite celebrities... - Got some proper bling here.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- ..paired up with an expert... - Wait! Wait!
0:00:07 > 0:00:09..and a classic car...
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Pick your legs up now, 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 > 0:00:29Put my antiques head on.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Will anybody follow expert advice? Ha!
0:00:32 > 0:00:34That thing is horrible!
0:00:34 > 0:00:35There will be worthy winners...
0:00:35 > 0:00:37This is better than Christmas!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40..and valiant losers.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Time to put your pedal to the metal... BOTH:- Woo!
0:00:42 > 0:00:45..this is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Yeah!
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Today's celebrities are two sparkling doyens of British drama -
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Sunetra Sarker and Jo Joyner.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hiya! Look at us in a classic car!
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- All right, Thelma... I feel like Thelma and Louise.- Yeah.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- This is the film we always wanted to make, isn't it?- It is.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11I mean, who'd have thought Beth and Anji would ever get behind a car.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Let's not drive off a cliff yet.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Please don't.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16MUSIC: The Heat Is On by Glenn Frey
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Our glamorous girls will cruise about hill and dale in a lovely 1969 MGB.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25How would you keep your foot on the brake and the revs at the same time?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Which one do you choose? - You'll be fine.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Let's hope so.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Sunetra has starred in a number of well-known British dramas.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39But she's most recognised as consultant Zoe Hanna in Casualty.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Hi, Zoe. This is Lea.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44The boy's mum. Assault. She says...
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Spare pair of hands here? - It's OK, Lenny, I've got this.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52And... She swapped her stethoscope for sequins to compete
0:01:52 > 0:01:57in 2014's Strictly Come Dancing, which is when I met her.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Are you hungry at all?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Cos I did get some sausages from breakfast if you get...- Did you?
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Yes, I've got a little picnic.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Always thinking. Always thinking, this girl.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- A picnic from breakfast. So if you get hungry...- Aw!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Are they antique sausages?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Well, they will be by the time we have them, yeah.
0:02:12 > 0:02:18After appearing in classics like Dr Who, Jo's big break came in 2006.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20MUSIC: EastEnders Theme
0:02:20 > 0:02:24And this gritty performance in beloved soap EastEnders
0:02:24 > 0:02:26ensured critical acclaim.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29How has this happened, huh? How am I...
0:02:29 > 0:02:33How am I standing here like this?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Like an idiot, in this dress, in Christmas!
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Sunetra and Jo first met as fledgling actresses in 2004
0:02:43 > 0:02:46auditioning for British sitcom No Angels.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49And I remember you coming in. You wore...
0:02:49 > 0:02:51a short skirt, a mini skirt.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- That was my Paul's Boutique green army skirt.- Yes.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- You wore an army skirt. - Cos I was going for Beth. Yeah.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I think you went against the grain and got it cos of that.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- That skirt got you the job. - Oh, what was good...
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Armed with a purse filled with £400 each,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11how will these chums deal with the competition?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I'm not happy to lose to you at all.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I see, our friendship is really in the balance.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18No, but I do hope as well that whoever my antiques specialist is,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- is that they are...competitive. - Yeah?- You know,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I'm not about these sports days where everybody gets a medal.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27There go the sausages!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Here to keep the peace are auctioneers James Braxton
0:03:32 > 0:03:33and Phil Serrell.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37MUSIC: Welcome To The Jungle by Guns N' Roses
0:03:37 > 0:03:43They have a rather stately 1969 Jaguar XJ6 to motor about in.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Are you a fan of the girls?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49I did watch Sunitra. In fact, I voted for Sunitra.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51It's Sunetra.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55I thought she was very good. She was really gutsy, you could see.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- She's a little lion.- You mean you didn't vote for Wayne Wonnacott?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- What, Tim?- Yeah.- Old two-left-feet Tim?- Don't you even!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Yeah, thank you, Philip.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Listen, you know you're going
0:04:07 > 0:04:09to have to drive this car at some point.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Yeah, I'm not looking forward to it. - I warned you.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Because my legs aren't really long enough.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Seriously, we are both shorties. - Yeah.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21The fellows are ready and waiting for the girls to arrive. Nice lavender.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24See? You're dressed for the hot weather. Corduroy trousers,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26not the obvious choice for summer.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Well, you know, they are the only trousers I've got.- Are they?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- There are, really.- We can't all be as sartorial as you, James. Ha!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Here are the girls.- Oh, hey now.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Stop before the Jag. - I'm braking.- Hey!
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Very good. How are you, my love, all right?- Hello!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Whoa!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Jeepers, that was a close one!
0:04:47 > 0:04:48A fatal accident.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I paid her to do that.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- Very smoothly driven. Lovely to see you.- Hello.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- You are going to be... - I'm going to be your expert.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Have you chosen already?
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Very definitely. I voted for this lady.- Did you?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09On Strictly Come Dancing. We are taking the smart car. In we hop.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Hang on a second, James.- Are you driving?- I'm driving.- Really?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Are you sure? Especially after... Blimey, OK.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Good luck, James.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Our tour begins in the city of Exeter,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26moving northwards through the West Country,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29taking in glorious Gloucestershire,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31and finally landing in the town of Devizes,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34in Wiltshire, for the decisive auction.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I don't really know the dimensions of this car yet, but thankfully...
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- It's large.- It is big, isn't it? - It is very wide.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44It is rather like taking a large yacht down the lane,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46isn't it?
0:05:46 > 0:05:51James and Sunetra are first to roll up their sleeves.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52- So...- Here we are.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Here we are.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58You know, this is the first time I've ever been in antiques shop.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59- Really?- Yeah.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Vintage Trading Company is an emporium crammed
0:06:03 > 0:06:05full of lots of delights.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07This is a real Aladdin's cave, isn't it?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Shelley is in charge today.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11So is this all yours, Shelley?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Well, no, it's not ours. It actually belongs to individual traders.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18There's about 40 traders that rent out spaces from us down here.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20So there is a real mixture of stock.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Let's look around. - All right. See you in a bit.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- We'll give you a shout if we need you.- Thank you.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29James has over 30 years' experience in this game,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32but will Sunetra prove a keen pupil?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- So eyes peeled.- Yep.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Very often you have to walk round a place twice before you start
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- seeing stuff.- Uh-huh. - But we may be lucky.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- I'm checking your antique antenna. - My radar.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51See now, I like this. I know Jo would love something like this.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Jo's really into, like...
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Does she love all of her...? - Whoa!- Steady!
0:06:56 > 0:06:58She loves trunks and stuff like this.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Oh. Nice box.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Oh, it is sandalwood! - It is sandalwood.- It is.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07When I looked at it, I thought, "Cor, yeah, that's better."
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's funny, I was going to say sandalwood because...
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- So that definitely... So when I said...- That's Indian.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- It's Indian, isn't it?- It's Indian, sandalwood.- Totally Indian.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19She's getting into the swing of this.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Now, what is that you have uncovered?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I really like this. I know it's just a tray.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I think it is terribly... Well, it looks...
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Again, it looks Indian, doesn't it? Although...
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Am I just going for Indian things?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33There is something about my heritage...
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- It's just that beautiful scrolling flowers, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I mean, it really is really well decorated.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- The Indians like decorations, don't they?- They do.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44So what can you tell about that? Do you know if it's worth anything?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46You know, the funny thing is, this is made on the street,
0:07:46 > 0:07:50so it has the look of being handmade, doesn't it?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53So they pierce this all out and then it would be plated.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55How can you tell if that is real silver or not?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Are you smelling it? - Yeah.- Are you smelling it?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03A man of my, you know... I am using all my senses.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- What are you smelling for? - I'm trying to smell silver.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- I don't think I've quite achieved the art of...- Can I smell?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Oh, yeah. Oh, I mean... That's guaranteed.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I usually look for a hallmark.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17You won't find one, though, because this tray is silver-plated.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19How much is it?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22£10. £10. So if this was silver...
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Yeah.- ..we'd be on a real bargain.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27This is what would get Jo and Phil really cross
0:08:27 > 0:08:31if we found a silver tray that we got for £10.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34And you know for sure this is not a reproduction?
0:08:34 > 0:08:39Even if they made it last week, it has weight, it has design.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40- I like that.- It's nice.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I think I'd like to... Can we make that our first item?
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- Yeah, come on, let's hang onto it. - OK.- Let's keep going.- Let's do it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48These two are off to a strong start.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- And look, there is a straw hat asking me to try it on.- Very nice.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- That suits you.- Does it?- Yeah, it really does.- I don't do hats either.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Don't you?- I wish I could. But I've never done hats before.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05The winner... The winner gets the hat!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Whoever wins gets the hat, that's what I'll say.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Loving the feather.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12We'll catch up with Sunetra and James later.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Gutsy competitors Jo and Phil are also in Exeter,
0:09:18 > 0:09:19raring to get stuck in.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23So what do you think we should buy, then?
0:09:23 > 0:09:28Well, basically, I'm just looking for simply the winning thing.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- No pressure on me here, is there(?) - No pressure, though.- Yeah, yeah.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Antique Centre on the Quay is their first foray
0:09:34 > 0:09:36into antiques hunting together.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Let's go. I like this kind of parking, pulling up outside
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- like this.- On the money.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Oh, yes, Phil's quite the gent.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Will it be all smiles once they get to the hard bit of the shopping?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- So what do you like? - If I were here on my own now...
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- What would you buy? - ..I'd probably end up buying china,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58a pretty china set or something quirky.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Yeah.- Costume jewellery-ish. Or diamonds.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Proper.- Diamonds.- Yeah, I know, depending on the budget.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06This girl's got expensive taste. Right, come on then.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Yeah. That could be a problem.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Phil.- What have you found?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- I found this, which I just think is so cute and unusual.- What's that?
0:10:14 > 0:10:15I am all about this.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18So this is a 1950s pair of glasses.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- They are Dame Edna, aren't they? - They've got changeable tops,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25so depending on your outfit, you can change them!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Look at that. If you are wearing gold, you put the gold on.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31If you are wearing red, you put the red on.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I don't know, will they make us any money?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35We should be allowed one quirky gift.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- These are going to make... - We are not paying 58 for them.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Spoken like a true pro, Jo.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Have you done this before, girl?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- We want to get them for...- 20 quid.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Pop them on.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Ahem, is this a good idea?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51They're for girls, you know, Phil.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53What do you reckon?
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Hellfire.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Are they actually...?- They are.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- I love them. You look fabulous. - Really?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I'm not so sure.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- I like these.- You like these.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- I tell you what, they look better on you than me.- Do you like?- Yeah.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10That is an understatement.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Kaye is one of the dealers here, and he's holding the fort today.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19He is calling the owner of the specs to get the best price.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Absolute best, yeah.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Can you get any closer, you two?
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Yeah. Have a talk to the lady yourself, though.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Hi, Patsy, it's Jo. Were you busy? Were you in the middle of something?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35She's good, isn't she? I could learn a lot from this.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38You're probably right. Now, shh.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42What is your best, best price? 35 would give us a chance.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Thank you, we appreciate that. Thanks. Yes. Bye.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Can I just say to you that I'm going to take you shopping with me
0:11:51 > 0:11:52wherever I go.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56I think has Jo has better things to do with her time, Phil.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00The dealer has agreed £35 for the 1950s vintage specs.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02We will catch up with you two shortly.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10And what on their rivals?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17I'd like a stand like this. It is a bit jumbly, isn't it?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Yeah, it is very jumbly.- Half the items don't have price tags on it.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22It's a good sign.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Anything catch your eye, Sunetra?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26James, I really like those.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- You know what, I've got a friend... - Yeah.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32..who is really, really good at finding antiques.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37- And she said, "Why don't you look for enamel-plated signs?"- Did she?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39She did.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- She did.- Wise friend you have.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Enamel signs like this one are hugely sought-after,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47so they could be onto a winner here.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I like that. What does it say?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55"White May and Royal Standard BP lamp oils."
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Yeah, and it says "next to sunshine."
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- I like that.- Oh, I didn't notice that. That's good.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- There's a little sort of addition. - That's a nice item.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- How much do you think you'd expect to pay for it?- To pay for it?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10£85, £90?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13It's quite nice. I think it is worth having a look at.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Best get it down then. Helpful old chap, this.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Now, for a closer look.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Thank you. Thank you. Look, as I thought, both sides.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24That's a good thing, isn't it?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Having it on both sides. - And then feel the weight of it.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Oh, wow!
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Never mind the quality, feel the weight. A sign of quality.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35It is heavy. Is it going to be a problem that it is rusted there?
0:13:35 > 0:13:40- Some little street urchin has thrown a stone at it.- I love the story.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44So it would have been on the side of the shop there, so announcing.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Higher, obviously.- Yeah, yeah.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50So people would see, "Lamp oils, we can get our lamp oils."
0:13:50 > 0:13:53In the days where people used lamp oils. So this is old enough...
0:13:53 > 0:13:55So how far can we date this?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59I think it is pre-Second World War. I think it is 1920s or '30s.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05With no ticket price on the sign, Shelley phones the owner to see
0:14:05 > 0:14:07if there's a deal to be done.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Shelley is back, Shelley is back. Any news?
0:14:10 > 0:14:11- OK, some good news.- Good news.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- I've spoken to the owner and, reluctantly, he said 120.- Really?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Yes.- How interesting.- You were thinking of paying slightly under.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Well, I said I wouldn't pay more than 100.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24If we can get it for 100, we will definitely take it.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25I am making an executive decision.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29I think we could squeeze to 100, just on this occasion.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Oh, you lovely lady. - Hang on one second!
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- If she can squeeze to 100, we can squeeze to 99.- Oh!
0:14:35 > 0:14:37£1, what is £1?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Let's call it 99.- OK.- 99!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42See? Look at her. Well done, you. Well done.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44A stretching of the arm.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Steady there, James.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Sunetra is blossoming as a star pupil, isn't she?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51We were going to talk about that tray as well.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Oh, yes, we were. The tray. - Here we are.- Oh, yeah.- Tray.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59The original price on the silver-plated tray is £10.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- What could this be?- Oh. - Could you do a deal on it?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I probably could do a deal... £5? ..on that one.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Um...
0:15:06 > 0:15:11- OK, yes.- Well done, you!- Five. We have had a really lovely time here.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Yeah, that's been brilliant.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15And I personally am buying the winner's hat.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17This is the hat that either Jo or I will win,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- whoever ends up winning the bargain of the day.- Go on.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Let's concentrate on the money.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Great bit of tag-team negotiation there.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29The 1920s BP enamel sign for £99
0:15:29 > 0:15:30and the Indians silver-plated
0:15:30 > 0:15:32tray for £5, how's that?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Keep going.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Jo and Phil are still shopping on the quay.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Look at this.- What have you found? - Now, this is so stereotypical
0:15:46 > 0:15:47cos all I've done so far is find
0:15:47 > 0:15:50glasses and jewellery, and now I have found a handbag.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- It says "and contents", what is in there? Have you looked?- No!
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Oh, God, even more intriguing. Open it. Open it. It might be diamonds!
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Do you want me to open it?- I want you to. I can do that.- Really?- Yeah.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Oh, God, I'm going to be so let down if there is nothing in there.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07- Oh, look.- What on earth is that?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Is that a comb? Is it going to be a comb?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- It's a comb!- How cool is that?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13To do your little kiss curl.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I love this. And look, it doesn't stop there.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20This is a good find, is it not?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Jo has fallen for it.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28This chic evening bag was made in Paris around the 1950s.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- You love it too now. - I've got to say...
0:16:30 > 0:16:31I have got to stop looking so pleased.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- I mean, it's all right.- It's OK. - Might get a fiver.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Great performance, Jo.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38What have we got look for on here, do you think?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I don't know. Labels, something decent. Hand stitching.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- You're good, you, aren't you? - Made in France. Handmade.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Now, I've got to say to you... - That's priceless, isn't it?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- If we don't know who made it. - There is a very thin dividing line
0:16:51 > 0:16:53between priceless and worthless in this business.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- I'm just falling in love with it. - I loath to say this on national TV,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- but I quite like this handbag. - You do?- Shh.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I'm not going to say it suits you either.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01I'd never say that on telly.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- If we can get that for 15, we'd be laughing.- Ten would be better.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Surely you'd get more than ten or 15, wouldn't you?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I've never been to an auction, I don't know.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- What I'm going to try to do is buy the two 45 quid.- Together?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Do you mind awfully holding this? I feel a bit self-conscious
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- wandering around with it. - I'm not sure why, Phil.
0:17:17 > 0:17:23Jo's love of vintage could stand in good stead as it is very popular.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28Jo has already agreed £35 on the specs with owner Patsy.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32But is there a deal to be gone on the specs and the little French handbag?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Let's see.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Kaye, my favourite person. - KAYE LAUGHS
0:17:37 > 0:17:39She is good, isn't she? She is really good.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Yeah, she is.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I have never seen Phil smile so much.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44We found another little item.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47We were wondering, can you do deals on the two or is this
0:17:47 > 0:17:49another buyer that we need to speak to?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Uh.- Is it you?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- No.- Oh.- No, I don't do handbags. - You don't do handbags?
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Well, not on television, you don't. - THEY LAUGH
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Kaye is trying to get the owner of the bag.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03But with no luck.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07If we can't manage to meet lovely Debbie on the phone or anything,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Kaye, are you going to take a risk and be with the winning team?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- I will.- 15?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Good man.- £15.- Yes!
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Two, four, six, there we are. - Two for 50.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I'm getting a buzz now. This is exciting.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Cor, Jo is a feisty negotiator.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26That is £50 for the 1950s specs and a little bit of vintage.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Now, what about James and Sunetra?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I think I enjoy being medical.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37You must be very good at it.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Have you ever thought about training to be a medic?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- You know, my dad is a doctor. - Really?- He is very impressed.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Wait till he sees your shopping.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Our route is now heading to Taunton, Somerset.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52James and Sunetra are taking a break from shopping.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56They have come to learn about a deadly Royal family feud that
0:18:56 > 0:18:58led to a bloody rebellion,
0:18:58 > 0:19:02followed by one of the most brutal trials in British history.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Steve Minnitt is the curator here,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07at the Museum of Somerset.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Hello.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- I'm Sunetra.- Hello, I'm Steve. - Hi, Steve.- Nice to meet you.- James.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Hello.- Nice to meet you, James.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19In the 17th century, this area
0:19:19 > 0:19:22was the centre of a power struggle to take the throne.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Protestant King Charles II ruled at a time of huge religious tension.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32When he died in 1685, the crown passed to his Catholic brother,
0:19:32 > 0:19:33James II.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37But a mass rebellion was staged by Charles's illegitimate son,
0:19:37 > 0:19:38the Duke of Monmouth.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42His Protestant beliefs had the backing of the people
0:19:42 > 0:19:45and his hunger for power saw him rally support
0:19:45 > 0:19:47to take the crown by force.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Charles's brother, James, was Catholic.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54And as a consequence, people tended to move
0:19:54 > 0:19:57towards the Duke of Monmouth as a potential successor.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- So he was a Protestant. - He was a Protestant.- I see.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03And, you know, Protestantism was very strong in this part
0:20:03 > 0:20:04of the world, dissenters,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07and a desire for freedom of worship
0:20:07 > 0:20:09and freedom of belief, which with a Catholic king,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- you're unlucky to get at that particular time.- Oh, right.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14We forget, religion and politics
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- were so closely aligned.- Absolutely.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21With the support of the population, the Duke of Monmouth took action.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26People of all kinds flock to him,
0:20:26 > 0:20:31and he began a march from Lyme Regis via Chard through to Taunton.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32By the time he got here,
0:20:32 > 0:20:36his sort of band of followers had probably risen to maybe 7,000.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38One of the key events that took place here
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- was that he was declared king. - Really?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45So, the only person ever to be declared king in Taunton.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49He may have declared himself king, but with his uncle, James II,
0:20:49 > 0:20:54still on the throne, the stage was set for a decisive battle.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59The Duke of Monmouth and his army of untrained men were planning
0:20:59 > 0:21:03an attack on his uncle's army, stationed nearby.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07A man at a nearby village of Chedzoy by the name of Williams
0:21:07 > 0:21:11was up the church tower with this spyglass.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13And looking across the Westonzoyland,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15where the Royal Army was camped,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17he saw that they weren't particularly well defended.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21He decided that perhaps the best thing was to fight
0:21:21 > 0:21:25and to actually leave Bridgwater at the dead of night.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- And this was a decision he lived to regret.- He did indeed.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Probably because they were spotted by one of the Royal scouts.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34A gun was fired.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36And that was enough to give warning.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40And very quickly, the king's soldiers got their act together
0:21:40 > 0:21:42and a battle ensued.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Despite thinking he had the element of surprise,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47the Duke's fate was sealed.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51So, this is trained soldiers against volunteers,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- right?- Absolutely. - Farmers with pipes.- Yeah.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Was the Duke of Monmouth killed in that moment?
0:21:56 > 0:21:57No, no, he wasn't killed.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01He was there. When he realised that the day was lost, he and...
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Don't be silly, he was in a tent at the back.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- SHE LAUGHS - No, no, no. He was there.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08He was there.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11But once he realised the cause was lost, he fled.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13He fled the site of the battle
0:22:13 > 0:22:18leaving probably 700 rebels dead on the site of the battlefield.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Hundreds of others were captured and, in due course, were tried.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28With the Duke's rebellion crushed, his uncle, King James,
0:22:28 > 0:22:32set out to make examples of all those who had threatened his rule.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35First stop was the capture and public beheading
0:22:35 > 0:22:38at the Tower of London of his nephew, the Duke of Monmouth.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41With their leader dead,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44the rebels were subjected to one of the most brutal
0:22:44 > 0:22:47trials in British history, the Bloody Assizes,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49here, in Taunton Castle.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Were they all tried separately or was it a sort of class-action?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57They persuaded a lot of people in these pre-trial discussions to
0:22:57 > 0:23:02plead guilty to save time on the basis that they would be
0:23:02 > 0:23:04treated better if they did so.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05- Uh-huh.- And so a lot of people did.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08But it didn't quite work out like that.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Over 1,000 locals, many uneducated,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15now faced the wrath of the ruthless king.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Hundreds were publicly hanged or even hung, drawn and quartered.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Others were sent to the colonies to live as slaves.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25King James ruled for a further three years,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29but he was unpopular with the largely Protestant population.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34In 1688, he was forced to flee the country, ending what will evermore be
0:23:34 > 0:23:36remembered as one of the most vicious
0:23:36 > 0:23:39royal acts of vengeance in our history.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Back to our friendlier battle.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49And Phil and Jo,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53who are making their way to the outskirts of the town of Cullompton.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57If you could play any part in any film, who would you be?
0:23:57 > 0:24:01I'd like to play a really nasty, evil person.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- No, you have not got it in you. - They are always more fun.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- You haven't got it in you. - You say that...- Now, that Sunetra,
0:24:06 > 0:24:07she's another thing.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- That Sunetra! - She's another thing, she is.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- I'd like to play this woman who wins at an auction.- Oh, no.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17No pressure then, Phil. Cullompton Antiques is
0:24:17 > 0:24:21situated within a wonderful old tannery barn.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25And the doors are open for our cheeky pair to rootle about.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26- Hello.- Hi there.- I'm Jo.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- I'm Richard. Nice to meet you. - Hi, Richard.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30- Richard, Phil, how are you?- Hi.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32There is a bit for us to go at here.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34You go and look your way,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- I'll go and look mine. - I'll go and look my way.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39And old hand Phil thinks he has found something.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Have a look at this, Jo.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Is that walnut?- You're good, aren't you?- Yeah.- You are good.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- How did you know that?- The dashboard of a Mark II Jag polished up,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- I'm thinking.- This is like a burr walnut or pollard walnut.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Burr is when it happens naturally, pollard is when it is man-made.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56That there... It sort of adds to its primitiveness, really,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59but if we buy this, we have got to polish it.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02That is what we've got to do. But isn't that just lovely, that timber?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04So this is £145.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- You and I said it is walnut.- Yeah.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Richard has got burr oak down.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09So, you know, either/or,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I don't care because it is burr wood. That's the thing.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15So that's one rooted out. Ha!
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Let the exploration continue.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Jo, Jo, Jo, Jo.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25- Oh!- Do you think that looks...
0:25:25 > 0:25:28MUSIC: Munsters Theme Oh, Lordy!
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Do you think that looks look like James Braxton?
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- Do you?- Yeah. Should we buy it for him for a little present or...?
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Yeah, cos I've heard it said that he is a little boar.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Do you like that?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I can't think of anything worse in my living room.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44But if it is going to make us money and win,
0:25:44 > 0:25:45then I am prepared to have it.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47How much is it?
0:25:47 > 0:25:51£195. Is it all right without getting it down?
0:25:51 > 0:25:52I mean, it hasn't got...
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- He is missing lumps or...?- Yuck!
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- It's not your thing and it's not my thing.- It is not my thing.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59You know what, at this point in the game, we've got my thing.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01We've got the glasses, we've got the bag.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03You know, I'm satisfied with some pretties.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08What is the absolute death, if you pardon the pun, on that?
0:26:08 > 0:26:09I could do it for 100.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I have no idea what they will collect at auction.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14It should make a profit at that.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16If you say so, Richard.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Not the prettiest belle of the ball, though.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Decision time, Jo and Phil.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25You fancy our boar, don't you?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I am worried about his chipped tooth. And he's horrendous.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Richard said around 100 for the boar. Right?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33If you have a result, it could make one 150, 160.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35If we can tickle him just under...
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I mean, what I'd love to do is get the boar
0:26:37 > 0:26:41and the table for about 130 or 140 quid.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42That is what I'd love to do.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- I'm going to let you schmoozel him. - OK.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Break a leg, Jo.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51OK, so you might have overheard a bit of that, Richard.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- I heard some of it, and it made me very nervous.- The bargaining.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00But would you let us take Boris the boar and the table
0:27:00 > 0:27:02for your best?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Well, I would like 100 for Boris. - OK.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Boris?!
0:27:06 > 0:27:10And the table... I was looking for 80 on that.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Which makes 180.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16180. You wouldn't take 145?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19That's our... Because our budget now is low.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23We've only got tomorrow and we have got, like, 20p left for that,
0:27:23 > 0:27:25so that is going to be hard.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I'll meet you the classic halfway.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30One... One... Well, 160.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- 160...- Did he just say 150?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- 160. It will be the best I can do. - 155.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- No, he has got to make a profit. - OK, fair enough.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40But I've got a feeling I've got to go and polish that table, haven't I?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Yeah, we better get polishing. Thanks, Richard.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44I'll take a photograph of it too.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50They bought an eclectic couple of items - the occasional table
0:27:50 > 0:27:55for £70 and the stuffed boar's head for £90.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58I think that is enough drama for one day.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Time for a bit of elbow grease before you retire, I fancy.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Nighty-night.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11The girls are up with the lark.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16The sun is shining, the roof is down, the competition is well and truly on.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I am hoping today for some glittery, girlie, sparkly stuff.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- No, you can't do that, I'm doing it.- You are?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- I am doing glittery, girlie stuff. - So, the boar...
0:28:24 > 0:28:27I just said to you, I am hoping to find glittery, girlie stuff.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31And what of their esteemed guides on this adventure?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33How are you getting on with Sunetra? Is she good?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36She's a lovely lady. She is very petite.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- So you've got a complete contrast on your team, then.- What do you mean?
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Well, you are not petite, are you?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Are you implying I'm fat?
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Now, now, boys.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49Yesterday, our troops had very different buying styles.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53James and Sunetra spent £104 on the BP advertising sign
0:28:53 > 0:28:55and the silver-plated Indian tray.
0:28:56 > 0:29:01Philip and Jo spent £210 on a really mixed bag.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Jo's favourite combo lot of the lady's spectacles
0:29:06 > 0:29:08and the vintage handbag and the more traditional Phil
0:29:08 > 0:29:13offerings of the occasional table and stuffed boar's head.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17The gang have all made their way to the city of Bristol.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20James and Phil are patiently
0:29:20 > 0:29:22awaiting the girls' arrival.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Oh, here we are. Here we are, here we are.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Watch out, James! Oh, Lord, not again.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- Good morning.- How are you, lovely, you all right?
0:29:30 > 0:29:31- PHIL:- Morning, morning.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Good to see you, my love.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- Are we ready?- Absolutely. - Are we ready to buy good things?
0:29:36 > 0:29:37We have a boat to catch.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- Good luck.- Have a really lousy, stinking day.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- Yeah.- Same to you.- All the best. - Bye.- See you later.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46This is the day we win.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48While Phil and Jo take in the sights,
0:29:48 > 0:29:51James is behind the wheel of the Jag.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Do you think I could don a white cape and a stethoscope?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- Oh, yeah, you look a doctor.- Do I?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- You know you look like a doctor. - Oh!- You could be.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- In fact, you could probably be like a surgeon type.- Do you think so?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- Consultant?- One of those masks... - Do you think I might be...?
0:30:05 > 0:30:06I wouldn't go as far as consultant.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09I am a consultant. Let's just get it out there now.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18James and Sunetra have just under £300 to spend.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Right, so let's get off our shopping head back on.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- Yeah, antiques.- Hello.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Hiya.- Here's our man. - I am Sunetra.- I am Jay.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- Hi, Jay. James. We've met before, haven't we?- Yeah, we have.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Have we got anything new and tasty and cheap and...?
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- Just about everything.- Fabulous, that is what we wanted to hear.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Yeah, there is plenty here, you know that.- Yeah.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45With the focus of the hawk, Sunetra spots something.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Oh, doll's houses!
0:30:46 > 0:30:48That is girlie.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50- I like doll's houses. - Doll's houses.- That's nice.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Please tell me that is real and not reclaimed.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55It's not a reproduction, but I think it might...
0:30:55 > 0:30:58It looks like it may be a bit home-madey, if I'm honest.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Generally, they were handmade, weren't they?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03That is something, though, isn't it? I mean, isn't that a risk?
0:31:03 > 0:31:06It's a nice thing, a doll's house. It depends on...
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Yeah, you can see, it's a bit ply-y.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11But like you say, they are...
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Look at that. Get on top of the records.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Right.- And I'd imagine... Yeah, the top lifts up on that one.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Look at that, a girl's dream!
0:31:21 > 0:31:24It is an amateur-made one, Jay is right.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27It has been sort of put together. How much is this, Jay, then?
0:31:28 > 0:31:2920 quid.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- She says, holding the door that is not on it.- It's fun, it is girlie.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36A lot of people with dolls, they do
0:31:36 > 0:31:38like to mess around with it anyway, don't they?
0:31:38 > 0:31:39The people who buy that sort of thing.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44So, my question is, for this price, will you give it to us?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47I'll do it for 15 quid, split the difference. How is that?
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- Do it for ten.- Come on, it says ten. - It is absolutely rubbish.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52He doesn't mince his words, does he?
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- Why not?- All right, great!
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- We got ourselves a £10 deal. - You got yourself... You got one.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- I don't know what this is going to do.- Terrible.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05- Jay, I don't know why I'm shaking your hand.- Come on.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- Has anyone ever done anything like this on the show before?- No.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- There you go then.- Quite wisely. No, it's lovely.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- It's a one-off.- It's lovely.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Convincing no-one, James.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Jay, you have done the door...
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- Brilliant! Look at that. - Cor, that makes it, doesn't it?
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Doesn't it? Do you know what? It is a really lovely blank canvas.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26I think there's a minimalist feel about it.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28But it also means that a little girl will have
0:32:28 > 0:32:31so much fun decorating inside there, making it her own.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- You'd love that, wouldn't you? - Seriously, I would.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36You know what, while Mummy and Daddy are decorating the big house,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39she can be decorating her inside. And look, it's got...
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- It's really quite classic.- It's a child's view of a house, isn't it?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- It is.- Three windows.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Five, actually.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52- Enjoy.- Thanks a lot, Jay.- Steady. - Ugh!- Are you all right?
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- Ready, Jim?- Yeah. Very good muscle toning, this.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57I am lifting a house.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59There we have it, a doll's house for a tenner.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Good luck with that one.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Ahoy there, Phil and Jo.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10Our pair have come to Bristol quayside to hear an incredible
0:33:10 > 0:33:14journey of unimaginable bravery and adventure.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Here to guide our landlubbers is Dr Evan Jones.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- Good morning, Jo.- Philip. How are you? Good to see you.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- Welcome to the Matty. Please come aboard.- Thank you.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28MUSIC: He's A Pirate by Klaus Badelt
0:33:28 > 0:33:32Phil and Jo are setting sail on the Matthew,
0:33:32 > 0:33:35a replica of the type of ship used by daring explorers
0:33:35 > 0:33:37in the 15th century.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39One such man was John Cabot,
0:33:39 > 0:33:44born Giovanni Caboto in Italy in 1450,
0:33:44 > 0:33:49the same town and year as legendary explorer Christopher Columbus.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51And the comparisons don't stop there.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Both set out in search of lucrative trade routes,
0:33:54 > 0:33:57returning home with discoveries that completely transformed
0:33:57 > 0:33:59the perception of the world at that time.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08If he was Italian, how come he was in Bristol doing this?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Well, he was...
0:34:10 > 0:34:12He'd been a merchant in Venice, but he'd gone bust there,
0:34:12 > 0:34:14and he'd gone on to Verona, actually.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18He tried to go to Seville and to Lisbon and persuade them
0:34:18 > 0:34:22to let him lead a voyage of discovery across the Atlantic,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25but they weren't interested because they had their own explorers.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30So he came to England and went to Henry VII,
0:34:30 > 0:34:32the first Tudor monarch, and said,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34"Look, I can discover Asia for you.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36"I can... We can sail across the Atlantic.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39"Columbus has sailed already, but he has only just discovered
0:34:39 > 0:34:42"the Caribbean islands, and that is clearly not part of Asia."
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- There is no silk there. - There is no silk there.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46There is no spices. "We can go together.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48"We can go on a more northerly route.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51"We'll find China and Asia and it'll make us all very rich."
0:34:51 > 0:34:54If these are the first guys going out there to find these things...
0:34:54 > 0:34:56We are saying they're looking for tea and silk and, you know,
0:34:56 > 0:34:59things to trade. Are they just looking for things to trade or...?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02We are saying now they're looking for silk,
0:35:02 > 0:35:04or did they know that silk existed? Did somebody somewhere...?
0:35:04 > 0:35:08Oh, yeah. Silk had been coming to Europe for 1,000 years or more.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10They knew these goods existed, and they were fantastically prized.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- Right.- So the idea was...
0:35:12 > 0:35:15If you can get there, you sail west across the ocean,
0:35:15 > 0:35:16reach China and Japan, you can
0:35:16 > 0:35:19buy these goods for just a tiny fraction of your selling
0:35:19 > 0:35:23price in England, bring it back and then sell it for 1,000% profit.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26I mean, that was the whole thing about it. It was all about trade.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31The search for a route to Asia was seen by most as suicidal.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35But it was potentially so lucrative that for the very brave,
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Cabot and Columbus,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40the rewards outweighed the dangers.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43However, undertaking sailing this 5,000-mile journey
0:35:43 > 0:35:46into the unknown was no small feat.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49When he sailed off, what do you think he wanted to achieve?
0:35:49 > 0:35:50Where did he want to go?
0:35:50 > 0:35:54He wanted to sail west across the ocean and find China and Japan.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57The thing you have got to remember is people didn't know how big
0:35:57 > 0:35:59the world was. A lot of people, certainly Cabot and Columbus,
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- thought the world was much smaller. - What kind of crew would he take?
0:36:02 > 0:36:05How many people would he get together for this boat?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07There was a crew of 20 on the ship. Which is actually a bit bigger
0:36:07 > 0:36:08than it would be normally.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Boats... This ship was normally used for just sailing
0:36:11 > 0:36:13to things like islands in western France
0:36:13 > 0:36:17- and would probably have about ten or 12 men aboard.- OK.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20But he wanted a bigger crew because you're sailing across the Atlantic.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24He thought Asia was North America, or vice versa,
0:36:24 > 0:36:26whereabouts exactly did he land?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Newfoundland. Actually, the new found land.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- Do you know, that has never dawned... New found land.- Uh-huh.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35So it's like the eastern tip of what's now Canada.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Blimey.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Like Columbus before him,
0:36:39 > 0:36:43Cabot failed to discover the lucrative route to Asia.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46But he was the first European
0:36:46 > 0:36:50since the Vikings 500 years before to set foot in North America,
0:36:50 > 0:36:55opening up a new world of trading routes and perceptions of the planet.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00Mystery surrounds his next and final attempt to secure a route to Asia.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05Despite leaving with a bigger and better fleet, he never returned.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06By the turn-of-the-century,
0:37:06 > 0:37:11legendary explorer Vasco da Gama finally navigated
0:37:11 > 0:37:13the prized route to Asia,
0:37:13 > 0:37:18securing a century of unprecedented wealth for the Portuguese nation.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22John Cabot may not have achieved his dream of discovering
0:37:22 > 0:37:26an Asian trade route, but his legacy remains to this day
0:37:26 > 0:37:31amongst the people of Canada and, in particular, his new found land.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36What an intrepid man. I have fallen for him. I think he has got...
0:37:36 > 0:37:38He has got some guts, hasn't he?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Landlubbers James and Sunetra
0:37:44 > 0:37:47have pootled northeast
0:37:47 > 0:37:48to the town of Tetbury,
0:37:48 > 0:37:50in the Cotswolds.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58- Something... Something dainty or small.- Something small and shiny.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Yes! Small and shiny. - Small and shiny.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04If it has got sequins, all the better.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07They have got over £300 weighing down their pockets.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- This looks promising, doesn't it? - Wow, yeah.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- This is great.- Come on.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15I have got a good feeling about this place, James.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Look, there's jewellery!
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Lots of jewellery. Look at that.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Oh, I'm excited.- Yeah. Come on, let's keep going.- There is lots.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25I love the enthusiasm, Sunetra.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Hello.- Hi.- Hi, I am Sunetra.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Hi, Sunetra, nice to meet you. - Hi, James.- James.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35You are going to have to be our best friend for the next couple of hours.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36We are looking...
0:38:36 > 0:38:39We are desperately looking for some nice, clever,
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- girlie antique jewellery, maybe. - Brilliant.- That is something
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- I am keen on finding. - I'm pretty confident
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- we will have something for you. - Really?- Yes, good.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50That doesn't really sound up James' street.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Whilst that might be.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- That George and the Dragon. I love enamel.- It is actually a crown.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- I'll get the keys.- Yes, I'd like to have a look at that.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00What do you reckon?
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- I don't know.- A crown that has been enamelled into a brooch.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05So when do you think the enamelling was done?
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- I would say probably about 100 years ago.- Yeah.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11And is this a silver crown or silver-plated?
0:39:11 > 0:39:15- Silver crown, solid silver.- Solid silver?- Yeah.- And it is £35?- Yeah.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17That sounds rather cheap to me.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Well within your budget, that's for a fact.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23That one is possible.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26But what about something Sunetra loves?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28This green is fantastic.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30This really does fit in the modern world.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33I mean, it's stylish, it's plain.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37There's a real trend for vintage jewellery like this by Norwegian
0:39:37 > 0:39:41silversmith Ivar T Holth.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42Could be a winner, Sunetra.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46What would be the price that you would suggest
0:39:46 > 0:39:47on something like this?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Listen, we need to warm you up. £60.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Cos we want to get something happening here.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55You haven't...you haven't dealt with...
0:39:55 > 0:39:58You haven't dealt with Sunetra before.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- We've become friends!- The poor chap.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02We left him weeping.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Yeah, stand by, Julian.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07So this is a silver brooch, definitely silver,
0:40:07 > 0:40:09beautifully green.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- Nicely marked.- Nicely marked.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15And if you... Say for argument's sake, I started at 45.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- Eh...- I'd start at 35.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19See, if you gave us both of those for 70,
0:40:19 > 0:40:22that means that we're not even bargaining with you on that one.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25I reckon, sort of, meeting in the middle, about £80.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27I think that'd be a good deal.
0:40:27 > 0:40:34- 35. And that's 35. 70. I think 70. - 70. Come on.- Come on, chief.
0:40:34 > 0:40:3575 and we have a deal.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40- If you say 70, we can...- We can call it a day.- ..put our paws on that.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44But if we have to go to 75, we'll just keep looking.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Cos you've got so much beautiful stuff for us to carry on looking at.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48Hang on, James.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52I think this delaying tactic lark might be part of Sunetra's
0:40:52 > 0:40:56- master plan.- £70, deal done.- £70. - Yes!- Thank the man.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00- Fantastic.- Well done.- Thank you. - Thank you, really kind. Well done.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- Well done, you.- Well done.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06- Thanks. - If you had mentioned I got a kiss...
0:41:06 > 0:41:08You definitely get a kiss for that.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13- We're done. Come on, Julian.- Are we really done?- Yeah, we're done.- OK.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Come on. Can't go on forever.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17I could, you see.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18I can believe it.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Fantastic.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Another excellent piece of negotiation from Sunetra
0:41:24 > 0:41:27secured the George III silver brooch for £35.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33And the Norwegian brooch also for £35.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35I think we've done very well.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Meanwhile, Phil and Jo are on an adventure of their own.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44They are having a root around the countryside. The village
0:41:44 > 0:41:47of Westerleigh, in South Gloucestershire, to be precise.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51- Have you any idea where we are? - No, but it is beautiful.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54We'll get somewhere eventually. There must be antiques.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Where there's hedges, there are always antiques.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Well, that is certainly Phil's philosophy.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04Oh, hold on. This looks more like a farm than an antique shop to me.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Hello. Is this your farm?
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- Are you just going about your everyday work?- Trying to, yeah.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14This is certainly different.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Anything that is sitting about that we can take off your hands?
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- Galvanised tanks?- Have a delve in the shed, if you want.
0:42:19 > 0:42:20Would you mind us having a look?
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- Have a look.- That would be great. - Yeah, yeah.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29James is a farmer, but you never know what might be lurking about.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34So these, I'm guessing, would be somewhere between
0:42:34 > 0:42:361920, 1960.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39So you don't want any of these?
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Probably not, no. They have been sat there for as long as I can remember.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43Those three at auction...
0:42:43 > 0:42:47They aren't going to make a fortune, but they might make between...
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- ..I would guess 20, 40 quid, something like that.- OK.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52Which would mean we'd need to try
0:42:52 > 0:42:54and buy them cheaper than that.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- Let's continue. - JAMES LAUGHS
0:42:58 > 0:42:59Let's continue.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- He's looking.- Think of it as, like, removal, scrap removal.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06Good point, Jo. That's the milk churns as a possible.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Where are they off to now?
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Oh, look. I love the door already.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16Uh, I'm not sure it is Phil-sized.
0:43:16 > 0:43:17I like the look of that as well.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Ah. Phew!
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Phil, there is actual furniture in here.
0:43:24 > 0:43:29It looks like Jo is being treated to the full Serrell experience today.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31I think this is a bit cheeky, clearly.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34But you know what, if we could get something here and then arrive
0:43:34 > 0:43:36and tell Su and James that, you now,
0:43:36 > 0:43:38"In your face," that would be great.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43And Phil has spotted a galvanised trough,
0:43:43 > 0:43:45right at the back of the barn, as you would.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48James, you're going to hate me. Would it...
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Could we have a look at that galvanised tank?
0:43:50 > 0:43:52- You are never going to get that out. - Uh, I'll try.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55- Yeah.- Do you mind?- Yeah, I'll have a try. It's in there, look.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Just getting it out is going to be difficult.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00Yeah, you would have to pick the thing right at the back, Phil.
0:44:00 > 0:44:04- How strong are you, my friend? - We'll see in a minute.
0:44:04 > 0:44:05Careful, gents.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07Right, can you bring it up?
0:44:07 > 0:44:10That is bloody heavy, that is. It is awful heavy, Jo.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14Sorry about that.
0:44:14 > 0:44:16I got a chair, though.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18You got the rest of my elbow with it.
0:44:18 > 0:44:19I told you to be careful.
0:44:19 > 0:44:20I think you should move.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23You've got all this fabulous furniture in here,
0:44:23 > 0:44:24and we are taking a galvanised tank.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29James, if it comes to a fight, will you be on my side?
0:44:30 > 0:44:32You are doing great, guys.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34Don't worry, James, in your own time.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36Is that a smile of pain, Phil?
0:44:41 > 0:44:44- No, I don't like that. - Hilarious, Phil(!)
0:44:44 > 0:44:45We are going to give you,
0:44:45 > 0:44:48if you'll take it, 20, 25 quid for it. Cos that's...
0:44:48 > 0:44:51At auction, it's going to make, looking like that,
0:44:51 > 0:44:53hopefully £30 to £50.
0:44:53 > 0:44:54That's what I think.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57And the old milk churn, I would see that at like ten or 20 quid.
0:44:57 > 0:45:01Maybe we could have the two for 25, and that would be amazing.
0:45:01 > 0:45:02That is what I am thinking.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05People would talk about James the farmer forever.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08Might be laying it on a bit thick there, Jo.
0:45:08 > 0:45:09Oh...
0:45:09 > 0:45:11What do you think?
0:45:11 > 0:45:13- Nice sunny day.- 30.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16- You were just pottering about, at work.- Can I just give you a bit...
0:45:16 > 0:45:18Just a slight hint here, right.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22- I have been with her now for two days. OK?- And you've had enough.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25- Yes!- No, she is a really, really... - He's going to swap you.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28She is a really lovely lady. She is a lovely, lovely lady, but...
0:45:28 > 0:45:31- You know, if she doesn't get her own way, she is difficult.- Oh!
0:45:31 > 0:45:34- Oh, 25 for the churn, please. - You know what these television types
0:45:34 > 0:45:35- are like.- For that and...?
0:45:35 > 0:45:38- Yeah, because...- 20 quid for that, five for the churn.
0:45:38 > 0:45:39Really, you were just going
0:45:39 > 0:45:41to have it in your barn forever and ignore it.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43- Go on, then.- Yes!- You are a star. - Thanks, James.- Thank you.
0:45:43 > 0:45:46- Thank you ever so much.- Thank you. - You have been amazing.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49Jo, you certainly know what you are doing, girl.
0:45:49 > 0:45:53£20 the big clunking trough and a fiver for the milk churn.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55This should be interesting.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58Time to have a gander at one another's buys.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02One, two, three, lift and throw.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06- Oh!- Oh, right. - Look, this looks a bit classy.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10- I like the brooch.- Do you? - I like the brooch, yeah.- Good.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12- That's lovely. That is really, really lovely.- Really?
0:46:12 > 0:46:15- The one at the front?- Yeah. I do, yeah.- Do you really
0:46:15 > 0:46:17or are you just saying that? Is this fighting talk?
0:46:17 > 0:46:18It's an old silver crown.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20It is an old silver crown that's been enamelled.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23- I like the green brooch here. - That's an age thing, isn't it?
0:46:23 > 0:46:25I mean, I wouldn't bid for it at auction.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27- Well, you won't have to. - THEY LAUGH
0:46:27 > 0:46:30The sign is quite nice, I like that.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32You are a little bit in Serrell country there
0:46:32 > 0:46:34cos there is just a hint of rust.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37- How much was that?- £99.
0:46:37 > 0:46:39- How much?- £99 for a sign?!
0:46:39 > 0:46:41- Yeah. - Do you know what? I think...
0:46:41 > 0:46:43Profit, profit, profit...
0:46:43 > 0:46:45loss, profit.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49Now for the unveiling of Phil and Jo's goodies.
0:46:49 > 0:46:54Oh! Whoa! Whoa!
0:46:54 > 0:46:55- Ee-ah!- I like the shape of that.
0:46:55 > 0:46:59- Thank you.- It is rusty. How much?
0:46:59 > 0:47:01- A fiver.- Profit.- Yeah.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03£5? Yeah, a churn.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06- How much...?- You have moved into a new sector of erosion here.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Because normally you do rust and woodworm,
0:47:08 > 0:47:10but now you're doing moth.
0:47:10 > 0:47:11- Yeah.- How much was the boar?
0:47:11 > 0:47:14- That was our top buy, 90 quid.- 90?!
0:47:14 > 0:47:19- And you questioned our sign for 99? - I like your Dame Edna.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22- Do you like my Ednas? Look, six pairs of interchangeable frames.- Jo!
0:47:22 > 0:47:24- Aren't they fabulous? - They are fabulous.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27- Go on, James, you give us your thoughts.- I like the shape of that.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30- I don't like the moth-eaten boar's head.- No, I don't. But, you know...
0:47:30 > 0:47:32Trough, how much did you pay for the trough?
0:47:32 > 0:47:34- 20 quid.- 20 quid. Which is cheap.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37I'll tell you what, it's a cheap coffin, isn't it?
0:47:37 > 0:47:38'Oh, cheeky!'
0:47:38 > 0:47:40I'm not standing this.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42- Listen to me...- Leave them. Leave them.- I'm so sorry.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44I can only apologise, but you know...
0:47:44 > 0:47:46- We'll see you at the auction.- Bye!
0:47:46 > 0:47:49OK, I feel a little bit better now. I feel a little bit better.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53Good. But what do you really think, gang?
0:47:53 > 0:47:54The other side looked like
0:47:54 > 0:47:56- Scrapheap Challenge, didn't they? - SUNETRA LAUGHS
0:47:56 > 0:47:58I really like that green brooch.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00- That's a personal thing. - See, I like the other brooch.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02You like the other one. Which you both guys like that, so...
0:48:02 > 0:48:04You are the guys in the know,
0:48:04 > 0:48:06so there is something about that one that is a winner.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09Jo has made a valiant effort to bring a feminine touch to the
0:48:09 > 0:48:12- thing, hasn't she?- She has. I have to say, those glasses...
0:48:12 > 0:48:15- I like those glasses. - I like the glasses and the bag.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18And then Phil, you know, has introduced rust,
0:48:18 > 0:48:21moth, woodworm... Normal sort of stuff.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24- I think we have the upper hand. Would you swap?- No.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26I would swap the green brooch for the boar at the moment,
0:48:26 > 0:48:28but I know that you are very good about this.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30- You are confident about this. - I don't know about that.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32You know, we are going to win.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34- We are going to win. I feel it.- We are going to win.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37- We are going to win!- BOTH:- We're going to win.- They are confident!
0:48:37 > 0:48:39And so it is off to auction
0:48:39 > 0:48:40in Devizes, in Wiltshire.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43This will be Sunetra and Jo's
0:48:43 > 0:48:46first foray into an antiques auction.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50- So, I have a little surprise.- Oh!
0:48:50 > 0:48:53Which is while James and I were out doing our hunting,
0:48:53 > 0:48:56I came across a really lovely straw hat.
0:48:56 > 0:48:59- Oh.- In fact, it is just down here.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03It is...the winner's hat.
0:49:03 > 0:49:06- It can be our joint prize.- I love it.- No matter what happens.- Thanks.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08- Aw.- You know I'm winning.
0:49:08 > 0:49:09Aw.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11We'll soon find out.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14Today's auction is being held at Henry Aldrich & Son.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16Hi, boys.
0:49:16 > 0:49:20- Look at what I brought! - The winner's hat!- The winner's hat.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24This is all very lovely, but we have got an auction to attend, guys.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28- Phil.- Yeah.- This is called the winner's hat.- Oh, pass it over.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30- It has a feather in it. - Pass it over. Really?
0:49:30 > 0:49:32You start with it, let's see where it ends up.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34- Do you...?- Yes!
0:49:34 > 0:49:38Very suave. Let the battle commence.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40Henry's Aldridge is today's auctioneer.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43Now, what does he make of the rather unusual mix?
0:49:43 > 0:49:46£10, 15. Ten, ten, ten, ten. Going, ten.
0:49:46 > 0:49:50The boar's head, I think Lee said it is mended.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53The Norwegian brooch, I think, is the nicest thing.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55They are always very collectible.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59Sounds promising. Jo and Phil were this trip's big spenders.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02Jo demonstrated her flair for shopping
0:50:02 > 0:50:07and added a sparkling feminine touch to the usual offerings from Phil.
0:50:07 > 0:50:10They spent £235 on five items.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14James and Sunetra were quietly tactical,
0:50:14 > 0:50:18although Sunetra was very loud when it came to settling a price.
0:50:18 > 0:50:22They spent £184 also on five items.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26Get comfy, the auction is about to begin.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31First to dip their toes in the auction waters are Jo
0:50:31 > 0:50:33and Philip with their big milk churn.
0:50:33 > 0:50:3520 to start me.
0:50:35 > 0:50:39Ten I've got. Ten I've got. 15. 20.
0:50:39 > 0:50:40Look, it's going up.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42Look, it has got 25.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44£25 seated in the middle of the room.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46- That should do you. - 'At 25, am I all done?'
0:50:46 > 0:50:48You sold it!

0:53:59 > 0:54:02It's wiped its face, as we say in the business.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04But they are still behind Jo and Phil.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07We better put this somewhere in the middle again.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09Let's keep that just over this side of the woods.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12And we are sticking with James
0:54:12 > 0:54:15and Sunetra. The silver-plated Indian tray is next.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43- Another little profit for the Sarker team.- Oh, stop it.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46Nice and steady profits from James and Sunetra.
0:54:48 > 0:54:49This is a close-run race.
0:54:51 > 0:54:56Can Phil and Jo's little occasional table offer a weighty profit?
0:54:56 > 0:54:58I can see why you bought it, Phil,
0:54:58 > 0:55:00because it has got a bit of rust on it.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02You are turning into a really nasty piece of work.
0:55:02 > 0:55:05Listen, could you two just take your argument somewhere else?
0:55:05 > 0:55:07We are busy trying to be at an auction house
0:55:07 > 0:55:10for the first time. This is really serious business.
0:55:10 > 0:55:13Yes, my sentiments exactly, Sunetra.

0:55:23 > 0:55:25- Oh, well done.- 'At £60.'
0:55:25 > 0:55:27At £60. Is there five at 60?
0:55:27 > 0:55:29I am all going...
0:55:30 > 0:55:31Someone's got a good buy there.
0:55:33 > 0:55:37It is James and Sunetra's George III crown next.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40Right, £20 I've got. 20 I've got. 20 I've got.

0:55:53 > 0:55:54At 50...
0:55:56 > 0:55:59- Oh. That's good, isn't it?- I thought it would do better than that.
0:55:59 > 0:56:01But it is still a decent profit.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05It is Jo's favourite next.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08The combo lot of vintage spectacles and little handbag.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12Ten. Ten I've got.

0:56:33 > 0:56:35Yeah, disappointing, Jo.
0:56:35 > 0:56:37But someone has a real little treasure there.
0:56:37 > 0:56:40It is their last item.
0:56:40 > 0:56:45And it all rests on James and Sunetra's Norwegian brooch.
0:56:45 > 0:56:46Who chose this one?
0:56:46 > 0:56:50This is me. I have to take full responsibility for this.
0:56:50 > 0:56:52It's beautiful, this brooch.
0:56:52 > 0:56:5420. Three of you.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57Five. 30. Five. 40.

0:57:06 > 0:57:09At £50. At £50, all going...
0:57:11 > 0:57:13You have got an eye for a profit, Sunetra,
