0:00:02 > 0:00:04- The nation's favourite celebrities... - Got some bling here.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- ..paired up with an expert... - Calm down.- What?
0:00:07 > 0:00:11- ..and a classic car.- Get your legs going, girls.- Hello!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Their mission? To scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16- GLASS SHATTERS - All breakages must be paid for.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18This is a good find, is it not?
0:00:18 > 0:00:21The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23But it's no easy ride.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Who will find a hidden gem? Who will take the biggest risks?
0:00:27 > 0:00:32- I've got my antiques head on. - Will anybody follow expert advice?
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- I think it's horrible! - There will be worthy winners...
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- This is better than Christmas! - ..and valiant losers.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45Time to put your pedal to the metal. This is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Yeah!
0:00:48 > 0:00:51MUSIC: Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Today, we're in foggy south-east England
0:00:56 > 0:00:58with a couple of showbiz best pals.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03It's actress Harriet Thorpe and fashion guru Gok Wan.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Oh, my gosh.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- That was quite scary. - Your driving's the scariest thing.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hey, listen, you don't have to drive around Selfridges.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16That's what I'm used to, all right?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18# Wheels on fire... #
0:01:18 > 0:01:23Harriet is a much-loved actress of both stage and screen,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26starring in hit shows like The Brittas Empire
0:01:26 > 0:01:28and Absolutely Fabulous.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- I thought we might run something on the credit crunch.- The what?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- LAUGHTER - The credit crunch.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- The what?- The credit crunch!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- What?- The recession.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45# Wheels on fire... #
0:01:45 > 0:01:50- So, antiques.- Yeah, and you shop for a living.- And I shop for a living.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Yeah, but you've got a clear advantage.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- You were alive when most of them were made.- Cheeky!
0:01:55 > 0:02:00# Cos he's a dedicated follower of fashion... #
0:02:00 > 0:02:05Gok's been a professional shopper and fashion expert for over two decades.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08He's an award-winning TV presenter and national treasure,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10who became an overnight sensation
0:02:10 > 0:02:15when How To Look Good Naked burst onto our screens in 2006.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20You look gorgeous. Our cameraman's shaking right now. Hoorah!
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- So, do you think we're getting somewhere?- Definitely.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I like the way you've coordinated your jacket
0:02:25 > 0:02:28with the lining of this car.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30But if we do have a crash, it'll take them ten weeks to find you.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- I'm just going to look like a head. - A head.- A floating head.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36THEY LAUGH
0:02:36 > 0:02:42Lordy! I'm sure they're perfectly safe in the 1980 Corvette Stingray.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43I'm very excited about this
0:02:43 > 0:02:46but this will be the first time in our entire friendship
0:02:46 > 0:02:49that we are competing against one another and not working together.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- I know, darling.- I think that we should take the experts on.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54That would be great!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I think you and I should surprise them
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- and say, "Actually, we're doing this."- Spin on this. Yeah.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Well, Gok certainly knows how to shop,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08but I'm not sure how today's two experts are going to feel about THAT!
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Auctioneer Christina Trevanion and dealer David Harper
0:03:11 > 0:03:14are making their way to meet the celebrities
0:03:14 > 0:03:17in this pretty little 1969 Porsche 911...
0:03:17 > 0:03:19in the fog.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- I can't believe who we've got today. - Oh, I'm so excited!
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Oh, I say, you've fashionistaed yourself up for Gok Wan.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- Please give him to me!- OK. You need him more than I need him.- Thanks!
0:03:31 > 0:03:33THEY LAUGH
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Ah, I think you two might be in for a little surprise.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Once paired up, our teams will kick off with £400 in their pocket.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Starting their journey in Eastbourne,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46they'll shop around south-east England,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49before heading to Southend-on-Sea for the auction.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Ooh, look, we have a white Corvette! - Ooh, very stylish.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- I like it.- Sounds healthy.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Did someone order a Chinese takeaway?- Left, left.- I'm in.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- Watch yourself.- Oh, my gosh, come back, come back.- We're in.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07CHRISTINA LAUGHS
0:04:07 > 0:04:12- Good morning. Are you all right? - No, I'm not. I need a surgeon!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- There we go.- Good morning. Can you get out?- Hello.- Good to meet you.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Nice to meet you. How are you?- Very good.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Oh, my gosh, Harriet, lovely to meet you.- Hello.- So good to meet you.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- This is amazing. Are you raring to go?- Yeah.- We're very excited!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Are you guys excited? - CHRISTINA:- Very excited.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I can't wait to spend the next couple of days with you.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Christina needs all the fashion advise,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- so we've donated her to you, Gok. - Awkward, awkward.- Awkward moment.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Bit of a problem there.- Yep.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Well, Harriet and I were talking
0:04:42 > 0:04:46as we were driving so casually down the road in that Corvette,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49and we've decided that we think it would be great fun, maybe,
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- if you two joined forces and you went up against us two.- Oh, yeah!
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- What?- Instead of us splitting up... - Come on!- It's us against you.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Harriet, I was meant to be with you.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- I've been looking forward to this for ages.- Hang on a minute.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04That means I have to work with him.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07We've never worked together. We always work against one another.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Which is why it would be so brilliant,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- because we genuinely do believe that we will win this.- Hands down.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- Just so you know. We do. - Trust. Trust.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16You might have auction houses,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19you might know everything about vases, but...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Christina, come on, baby! Get in that car.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Are we going to do it? - Let's show them how to do it.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Well, we don't normally make exceptions,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30but this celebrity duo are certainly confident.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Go!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Whoo-hoo!
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Our celebs are heading towards their first shop in Hailsham.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46So, do these two really have what it takes to take on our experts?
0:05:46 > 0:05:51- Why are you so confident? - You know me, I like to shop.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56I've shopped for 21 years as a job, so I'm thinking, "You know what?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59"Pair of shoes...sideboard - what's the difference really?"
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Sorted.- Exactly.- And I love to drive a hard bargain, as you know.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- You are best. - Winning team.- Definitely.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Yeah, they sound like a force to be reckoned with
0:06:12 > 0:06:15and our duo are getting ahead of the game
0:06:15 > 0:06:19and phoning the auction house to find out what's hot in their saleroom.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Canny move, that. PHONE RINGS
0:06:21 > 0:06:26Hi, Trevor. It's Aunty Gok and Uncle Harriet. How are you?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Hi, Aunty Gok and Uncle Harriet. - Hi, there.- We're fine, thank you.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Wonderful. Thank you so much for taking this call.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34So, what are people looking for currently?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Are we going down the knick-knack, bric-a-brac, kind of aisle?
0:06:38 > 0:06:43- No, we're not.- OK.- Vintage? Are we doing vintage?- Quirky sells.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Right.- Yeah.- Masculine now sells. - I do all right on both counts.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Masculine items.- Yeah.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Chinese market is faltering a little bit but it is strong.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- But the Japanese market is dead. - Great, brilliant.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- You are adorable, you are fabulous. - No problem.- Thank you.- Love you.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Miss you.- Take care. Bye.- We miss you.- Bye, bye, bye.- We love you.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Bye. - You put the phone down first. Dooo.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- OK.- Hi, I'm Gok. Nice to meet you.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13So, Mick, did you get all that?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Anything on that shopping list fit the bill in here?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18We've got a very unusual item here.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- It's only just come in, so you've picked the right moment.- Yeah.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- It's Bakelite which is very collectible.- Yes, we know Bakelite.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- And it's a shaving kit. - THEY GASP
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- That's heaven. - It is absolutely lovely.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- It's the original box? - The original box.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Does it have its original blades?- Yes.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Probably find one or two whiskers in the bottom.- Ooh, steady.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- How much is that? - That should be £75.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- When you say, "Should be", I like that.- But...- For us?
0:07:45 > 0:07:49As you're on a mission, as it were, something quirky,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- I can do that for 40.- Sorry? 30? - I can do that for 40.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- 25?- I thought you said 30.- Sorry? - 25?- No, 40.- 30.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Do you know how beautiful the colour of your eyes are?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- We'll do it for 30, yeah. - Done it, done it.- 30. Wonderful!
0:08:02 > 0:08:03- That's great!- Thank you.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Cor, this pair don't mess about. First lot bought for £30.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12And Mick's got something else he thinks might fit their wish list.
0:08:12 > 0:08:18- Ooh, hello.- It's also just come in. - Snuffbox?- Snuffbox, pillbox.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- So this is Japanese, isn't it? - Is it?- This is definitely Japanese.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26But that looks like a Chinese haircut. However...
0:08:27 > 0:08:31It probably would have been blossom if it was Japanese, wouldn't it?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34To confirm the box is Japanese or Chinese,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Gok's decided to phone a friend.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- PHONE RINGS - I burped.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Thank you.- I'm just so windy today.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- I don't need to know that. - Pooh, neither do it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- Oh, look, Mick's got two more boxes. - I might be able to tell from those.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53PHONE RINGS
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Oh, no, that's a lotus. It's Chinese. They're carrying a lotus...
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- We should get them. - ..which is very Chinese.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- These are great, aren't they? - They're gorgeous.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05But that is Japanese. No, that's Chinese, that top one.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Let's hope your Japanese friend has a better idea.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14- Hi.- Hi, baby girl. Listen, I'm with Harriet.- Hi!- Hi.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Basically, we're on an antiques hunt, right.- Oh, my goodness.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22And we've got to try and find some Chinese bits and not Japanese.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Sorry, I know you're Japanese, but apparently,
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- the Japanese market's dead. - I'm putting the phone down.- Stop it!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Stay there, stay there! I'm going to show you these boxes.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Can you tell us whether they're Chinese or Japanese. Are you ready?
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Ooh, I don't know. Ooh, gosh. They look quite Chinese.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I think they're Chinese. I tell you why -
0:09:40 > 0:09:42because of their jackets, their shoes.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46They're wearing traditional Chinese shoes and they're carrying a lotus.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Have they got like Mr T haircuts? - They've got Mr T haircuts.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55- It's Chinese, isn't it?- It's Chinese, yeah.- I love you so much!
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- We're going to win.- You were right, Gok. So, time to talk money.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Ticket price is £140 for the three.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- I think they'll fly in an auction. - Do you think?- I really do.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- And what's your price, babe?- I couldn't do them less than 80 quid.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- Oh, you can.- 75.- I will do 75.- Yes! Thank you.- That's all right.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- You're dancing and I'm working the panpipes.- That's not even...
0:10:19 > 0:10:24- Oh, it is!- Can you do 70? Cos 140, that takes us down to 50% off.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- You're going to ruin my reputation. - You're going to get a kiss.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Ooh, he's ready. Mwah!
0:10:30 > 0:10:35- Are you going to do 70?- I'll do 70. - Love you!- Yeah, thank you very much!
0:10:35 > 0:10:40- And a kiss seals the deal. Well done, everyone.- You're incredible.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- Thank you so much.- Thank you very much.- Harriet, we're going to win.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Yeah! Yes!- What's not to love about this?- Exactly, babe.- Let's go.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Winners.- Can we have chips yet? - Yeah.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Well, they're getting on rather well on their own,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56bagging two lots in their first shop.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Should our experts be worried or is it just a fog to them?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- This could really work to our advantage.- Right.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I don't think they know a huge amount about antiques.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I hope not, because if they're good and they beat us,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09it means that we're rubbish.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Yeah.- And that's not good. - Could be interesting.- Yes.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Starting to feel the pressure already, eh?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Perhaps nerves will ease once you get going.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Let's rock and roll, baby.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Christina.- Yeah? - You're looking good.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Ah, are you trying to be Gok?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Yeah, I'm just building your confidence.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36What a gentleman. Although, I'd concentrate on the task in hand.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Their first chance to shop is in Eastbourne Antique Centre. Lovely!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- It does feel quite weird being in a shop with you.- Does it?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Cos normally, if we have a shared shop, we kind of split up
0:11:46 > 0:11:49and do our own thing, but we've got to work as a team.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- We are the dream team, Christina. We are a partnership.- I hope so.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- I'm relying on you to win. - I'm relying on YOU.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- We're working FOR one another here. - Exactly.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01That's the spirit, guys. Give yourselves the best chance.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Look at this. This is how I feel for you, David.- Ah, my little angel.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- It's a love heart. Isn't that sweet?- Isn't that sweet?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I see these quite a lot in the saleroom and look at this - £25.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17It's no money for a little spinning chair.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20The only downside, I think, of this is, it's a real antique,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23it's solid oak, it's hand-carved, 1890, 1900,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26but they made them by the bucket-load, didn't they?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30I must have handled, without exaggeration,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- four million of those chairs. - Four million?!- Yes.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- You're not exaggerating at all. - I'm not exaggerating.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37CHRISTINA LAUGHS
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- I don't love it. - With the heart?- No, I...
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I do love it a bit more with the heart, I must say.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I think that's rather nice.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Might be a good gift for somebody, wouldn't it, because of the heart.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53They love it, but can Paul help them out with a good deal?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Now, this doesn't belong to me. This is one of my stallholders'.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- OK, can you do a deal on their behalf?- I could do...
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- I can always do, with him, 20%, so that could be £20.- Right.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06It needs to be half that for us to make any money. That's what I feel.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- What do you think, Christina? - I agree.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Would you think 20 quid's too much for that?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Well, in order for us to make a profit, I think David's right.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19We'd love to secure it for the £10 region, if that is at all possible.
0:13:19 > 0:13:25- Isn't she so lovely? "If that is at all possible".- You have to be nice!
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- I'm nice.- I'll have to call the dealer and ask him.- Would you?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Hold on there, Paul.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35It looks like Christina has found something else.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- What? - I don't think they're very rare....
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- THEY LAUGH - Is that a collection lot?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Bearing in mind this is a job lot of perfume bottles for £60.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- Do you know... - Are these yours, Paul?- Yes.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Do you know, I had 280 of them.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52CHRISTINA GASPS
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I think they've all got silver on them.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- A silver top, a sliver top, a sliver top...- But it's the rest.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- The scrappers. - Could you go and make our phone call
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- and we'll have a quick chat about this?- I will indeed.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- That would be splendid. - Brilliant.- Thanks, Paul.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- So, what are you thinking, eh? - I think it's fantastic.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Auctions, dealers, they're always looking for big job lots.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15They'll buy this, separate them and sell them for a £10 note each.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17They need to be 20 quid for the lot.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Here comes Paul.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25What's the lowest the dealer's willing to go on that chair?
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- OK, 20 quid and that's it?- That's it, yeah. That one cost him £15.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- Do you think it depends on what we can do with these?- Yeah.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37As we can't be as flexible on this, can we be flexible on THIS?
0:14:37 > 0:14:43- What's on it?- It says £60.- £60 the lot?- Yeah.- How about 45 the lot?
0:14:43 > 0:14:48- Paul, can we buy that job lot for 20 quid?- 10.- Oh, come on.
0:14:48 > 0:14:55- You're getting worse!- 20 quid... I tell you what, because it's you,
0:14:55 > 0:15:00- I'll do it for £25. How about that? - OK, £40 for everything.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- But we need 20 stoppers. - I've got stoppers.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Whether they'll all fit in those... - Doesn't matter.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- We just need a box of 20. Have we done a deal?- I've got some stoppers.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Go on then.- Marvellous.- Awesome. - You're a gentleman.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Well, they're doing all they can to beat those celebrities.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Speaking of whom, Harriet and Gok have made their way
0:15:22 > 0:15:26to Muddles Green in Chiddingly, East Sussex.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31They've come to Farley Farm House,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34the former family home of photographer Lee Miller,
0:15:34 > 0:15:38a woman whose life was as extraordinary as her photos.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41She went from being a supermodel
0:15:41 > 0:15:43to being a combat photographer during World War II
0:15:43 > 0:15:47and here to tell them all about this amazing woman
0:15:47 > 0:15:49is her only child, Antony Penrose.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53So, Antony, how did it all start for Lee?
0:15:53 > 0:15:58It started in New York when Lee was a 19-year-old, in 1927,
0:15:58 > 0:15:59and she stepped in front of a truck.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02She should have been killed in that moment,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05except a guy grabbed her and pulled her to safety.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08And, actually, that was a wonderful stroke of luck,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11because he was Conde Nast, the owner of Vogue magazine.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Before she knew what had happened,
0:16:13 > 0:16:17she was on the front cover of Vogue and she wasn't yet 20 years old.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Oh, my God, that's... - And that brought her into contact
0:16:20 > 0:16:23with the great photographers of the day, like Edward Steichen,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26and she became a supermodel overnight,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- coat to coast, right across America. - Amazing.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30And then she got bored of it
0:16:30 > 0:16:34and she decided she'd rather make a picture than be one,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36so she went to Paris to look for
0:16:36 > 0:16:40the most exciting, avant-garde photographer, Man Ray,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- and became his apprentice. - Did she become a sort of muse?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Oh, definitely, because she went there to be his apprentice
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- and almost instantly, she became his lover and his muse.- Amazing.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54And he taught her photography and she modelled
0:16:54 > 0:16:57for some of the greatest pictures of his whole career.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Lee lived a bohemian life in Paris,
0:17:00 > 0:17:04mixing with artists like Picasso and Max Ernst.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08But her relationship with Man Ray was a tempestuous one.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12He taught her photography but then, after three years,
0:17:12 > 0:17:16his possessiveness and his jealousy drove her nuts
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- and he just wanted to control her. - Yeah.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22And she wasn't going to be controlled by anyone,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24so she hopped on a liner
0:17:24 > 0:17:27and went back to New York and started her own studio.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Lee's highly successful studio closed in 1934,
0:17:31 > 0:17:35when she married a wealthy Egyptian businessman and moved to Cairo.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38But she was yet to meet the love of her life,
0:17:38 > 0:17:42surrealist artist Roland Penrose.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Tell us, how did your mother meet your father?
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Well, she went to this amazing fancy dress party,
0:17:48 > 0:17:53where all her surrealist friends were, and there she met my dad.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58He was dressed as a tramp. And he said that, in that moment,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01he felt like he'd been struck by lightning, because it was wham,
0:18:01 > 0:18:05and he was never the same again. It was love at first sight.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10- It does exist!- It does exist, it really did it for them!
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Although not yet divorced, Lee and Roland were living together
0:18:14 > 0:18:17when World War II broke out
0:18:17 > 0:18:21and it was then that Lee reinvented herself as a photojournalist.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24In 1944, she became a war correspondent,
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- accredited to the US army. - She was a combat photographer?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Yes, as soon as she got over to Normandy,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33shortly after the Normandy landings,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36she crossed the line absolutely forbidden to women
0:18:36 > 0:18:39and started photographing the siege of Saint Malo.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Wow.- That's extraordinary.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45It was a tremendous battle and she photographed it for five days,
0:18:45 > 0:18:49while the Germans slugged it out with the US 83rd Division.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Then here she is, a few days later, during the battle.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56She's got the presence of mind to go into a deserted ballroom
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- and photograph herself in a mirror. - That's extraordinary.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03There's something of the fashion model in her
0:19:03 > 0:19:06that just wouldn't quit. And there was always this kind of dichotomy.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10She knew, so well, how to be a beautiful woman.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11At the same time,
0:19:11 > 0:19:16she could survive an act perfectly appropriately in a man's world.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I think this came from when she was very young
0:19:18 > 0:19:21because her father encouraged her to play boys' games
0:19:21 > 0:19:26and do all sorts of crazy stuff and it made her very practical,
0:19:26 > 0:19:32very self-reliant and very able to survive dangerous situations.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35And survive she did.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39During the war, Lee took many stark and hard-hitting photographs.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42On 29th April, 1945, Lee spent a difficult day
0:19:42 > 0:19:47photographing the newly liberated Dachau concentration camp.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49She then accompanied the American GIs
0:19:49 > 0:19:53and Time Life photographer David Scherman to Munich,
0:19:53 > 0:19:57where they discovered Hitler's apartment exactly as he'd left it.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Here was this perfect opportunity - hot water, soap, towels, flannel.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- And then they realised they had the scoop of the century.- Absolutely.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08The thing is, they put this picture here,
0:20:08 > 0:20:12which is actually a very famous Nazi image.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14It's a portrait of Hitler by Heinrich Hoffmann
0:20:14 > 0:20:17that became the, kind of, THE poster
0:20:17 > 0:20:20and, by putting it there, on the edge of the bath,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23that was really like saying, "OK, Hitler, you are finished.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- "We can do what we like in your house."- Yeah.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30But the key is actually the boots, because the morning of this day,
0:20:30 > 0:20:34those boots carried Lee Miller around Dachau concentration camp
0:20:34 > 0:20:39and now she's stamping the filth of that place and the heartache
0:20:39 > 0:20:43and the cruelty into Hitler's nice, clean, pristine bathmat.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46She's not sitting there as a guest. She's a victor.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51After the war, Lee married Roland Penrose.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53They moved to this house in East Sussex
0:20:53 > 0:20:56and went on to give birth to their only child, Antony.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59It wasn't until after Lee's death in 1977,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01that Antony actually discovered
0:21:01 > 0:21:05what kind of woman his mother had been in her younger years,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08after stumbling across her amazing career
0:21:08 > 0:21:10she'd hidden away in the attic.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15My late wife went upstairs, looking for pictures of me as a baby,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17and she came down, actually,
0:21:17 > 0:21:22with the manuscript of the siege of Saint Malo. Not images, words.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27And I couldn't believe that my mum, who I had known in my lifetime
0:21:27 > 0:21:30as somebody who had been so deeply affected
0:21:30 > 0:21:32by post-traumatic stress disorder
0:21:32 > 0:21:35that she'd been, practically, a useless drunk,
0:21:35 > 0:21:39I couldn't believe that she had written this material.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44Then we found the images and we could do nothing else
0:21:44 > 0:21:49but put it all together and it's taken many, many years
0:21:49 > 0:21:52to assemble it into the Lee Miller archive, which is now what it is.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- It's the most profound, moving, amazing story.- Well, thank you.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01You see, we discovered a collection of photography.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I discovered a mum that I hadn't known,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- and that's something that still feels good to this day.- Amazing.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09With her hidden work finally revealed,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Lee Miller will forever be remembered
0:22:11 > 0:22:14as the stunning supermodel who went on to document
0:22:14 > 0:22:17some of the most profound moments of the 20th century.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Back on the road, though,
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Christina and David are making their way to Lewes.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31I think, if Gok were here, he'd be telling me...
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- ..that maybe my jeans are a bit short.- Do you think so?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Actually, for my self-confidence,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- maybe it's a good idea that he's NOT here.- And do you know what?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43You've never beaten me on the Celebrity Road Trips.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- No, I haven't, have I? - Now's your chance to win.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49CHRISTINA LAUGHS
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Our experts have arrived at Emporium Antiques Centre.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- Would you please get in? - Look at that.
0:23:03 > 0:23:09With £360 burning a hole in their pockets, what will they find in here?
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- Right, Christina.- Yeah. - Let me show you something.- Mmm-hmm.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18I am in love with Michele.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- Oh. You poor woman! - CHRISTINA LAUGHS
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- Don't say, "Poor woman." - The customer is always right.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27THEY LAUGH
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Yeah, to a certain extent. I don't think I'd wish that on anyone.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- That's pretty cool, isn't it? - Thank you.- It looks like majolica.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39That is a big chunk of majolica, full of colour, design...
0:23:39 > 0:23:42That's nice. You've got the George Jones mark on there.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- George Jones & Sons. - Oh, nice.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47This is late 1890s, circa 1900,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50but you've got the Art Nouveau thing going on, haven't you?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53To be perfectly honest, this has seen better days -
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- much like yourself. - DAVID LAUGHS
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- It's the size.- But you see,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- some things get better with age. - Really?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Others don't.- Are you telling me that you're a fine vintage, darling?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05CHRISTINA LAUGHS
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Michelle, this is what I've got to put up with.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- I love that you're so delusional. - It's very difficult.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12It's very difficult indeed.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- What's the price on it?- 23 quid.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Really?
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Michelle, trade on that to Christina and myself, how much would that be?
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- The very best would be 15. - To be honest, I absolutely love it.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28If we don't pay £15 for that, I think we're bonkers.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- All right, I'm happy with that. - Michele, put that on our account.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Thank you very much. - You're an angel.- Great.- Brilliant.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Right, can you find something interesting?
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- I found all the last things! - You just gas on all the time.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Now, now, you two. You're on the same team, remember.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Ah, the shop has a backyard.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- Those are nice, aren't they? - I like them!
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Look at all those creepy-crawlies. - Oh, my gosh.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- Shall I bring the other one out? - Look at all those woodlice!
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- That adds a bit of age to them, doesn't it?- I love woodlice.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- They just look so prehistoric. - Right, so a pair of those.- Yeah.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- What are they?- They're hernia-inducing, aren't they?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Late 19th century? Got to be, haven't they?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Victorian, cast-iron, really heavy, really good.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Look how crisp that is as well. - Yeah, good detail.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16In reproductions, you just never get anything like that crispness.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Nice gadrooned border. Good decoration.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Egg and dart, actually, my darling. - It's also called gadrooned.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- No, egg and dart. - Egg and dart gadrooning.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- No, gadrooning is very different. - Oh, is it?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- You're sure you couldn't call that gadrooning?- Trust me.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I'm a gadrooning specialist, darling.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- Listen, I'm going to gadroon you. - Hey, David, listen to her.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38It is egg and dart.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Ticket price is £195 for the pair.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Can Michele, ma belle, do them a deal?
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- What's your absolute def on them, darling?- 120 is the...
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- I think 120's got to be good, hasn't it?- I think so.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54We're at 120 for those and 15 for the pot.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Could we say 130 for the two?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- 130 for the pot and the urns? - Er, OK.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- All right then.- Would that be all right?- As it's the end of the day.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Thank you, Michele. I'm sorry about Christina.- That's OK.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- Don't worry, I won't come back, I promise!- Lovely to see you!
0:26:11 > 0:26:16So, that deal means that they've spent £15 on the pot
0:26:16 > 0:26:19and £115 on the cast-iron urns -
0:26:19 > 0:26:21a marvellous end to a busy day of shopping.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24So, nighty-night, chaps.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28The next morning, our celebrities are back on the road
0:26:28 > 0:26:33and preparing for the shopping day ahead with no fog - hopefully.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36So, what are we going to do then? Cos those two are going to win.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- No, they're not.- They are. - No, they are not going to win.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- We are going win.- Mrs Vase and Mr Pots.- I know, I know.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- I think the only thing we can do is find out what they've bought.- How?
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Why don't we steal their car?- Yes! - We'll steal their car.
0:26:50 > 0:26:56- I'll offer her a makeover...- Yeah. - And then you should faint.- Faint?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Yeah, pretend you're ill, I'll take you outside for fresh air.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- I'm an actress. I can do that. - You need some fresh air,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03take you outside, we'll get in the car, we'll drive off
0:27:03 > 0:27:05and then we'll go through the boot
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- and find out what they've bought. - Absolutely.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Hey, will they stoop at nothing to win?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14They're doing quite well already actually, because yesterday,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17they picked up two lots - the Bakelite gentleman's kit
0:27:17 > 0:27:19and the three oriental trinket boxes,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22leaving a massive £300 available to spend.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Christina and David are ahead on the shopping front
0:27:26 > 0:27:30with four lots bought - a selection of glass scent bottles,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32the wooden spinning chair,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35the majolica planter pot and the pair of garden urns.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38They have £230 to play with.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45Our celebrities and experts are starting today in Bexhill-on-Sea.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Oh, yes.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- CHRISTINA:- Morning!- GOK:- Morning!
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- That looks so horribly tempting. - How are you?
0:27:53 > 0:27:58- CHRISTINA:- Oh, look at that.- Oh, my God!- GOK:- I didn't move my leg.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- Good morning.- Good morning. - How are you?- Morning.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- Good to see you. - Good to see you too.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- CHRISTINA:- Snog!- GOK:- Hello, you're both so colourful!
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Hello. Ooh, I say.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- CHRISTINA:- Is that good or bad? - GOK:- Can I see?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- CHRISTINA:- Oh, really? - GOK:- Can I see?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- The kimono is a triumph. Let me see. Turn around.- Beautiful.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Oh, it's great, honestly. And those jeans - great for the rear.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- CHRISTINA:- Great FROM the rear? - For the rear.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- GOK:- FOR your rear. - It enhances.- Wonderful.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Right, enough of the fashion critique.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31Let's shop and less hand-holding. You're on opposite teams, you two.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32With a bit of catching-up to do,
0:28:32 > 0:28:36what can our celebrities find in Eras Of Style?
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- Right, so what are we looking for? - What about those little funnies?
0:28:45 > 0:28:49There's something quite nice about that. I like the colours in it.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52They look rather extraordinary. What the hell are they?
0:28:52 > 0:28:55I love these! So, these are traditional trunks,
0:28:55 > 0:28:56- turn of the century.- Let's do it.
0:28:56 > 0:29:01Property of District Ky Son in Vietnam.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- Asian.- Asian - let's do it! - OK, let's go.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07- No, don't lift it, darling. Your back.- Look, 195. No, it's fine.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09No, it's not. Ooh, out of the way.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14- Oh, my God.- Yeah, I said.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16It's wooden. I thought it was made of hay!
0:29:16 > 0:29:20- No!- Hay?!- Oh, my God.- Do you think we should do both, though?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23I think one. Who would buy two of these?
0:29:23 > 0:29:26They're so extraordinarily big.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29All right, let's open it up to make sure it's in good nick.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- THEY GASP - Oh, hello, paperwork.- What the hell?
0:29:33 > 0:29:37- Oh, amazing.- "Rue de Joux..."
0:29:37 > 0:29:42- So, it's French. Mon Dieu! - "Le pomme de deux cent vingt..."
0:29:42 > 0:29:44- So that's money.- Yeah.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- Shall I give this a go with Andy? - Give it a go.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- I'm your backup. - OK, right. Andy!- Andy!
0:29:51 > 0:29:56Gok's keen eye has struck again with this 19th-century travel trunk,
0:29:56 > 0:29:59complete with an interesting collection of documents.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05Can they get it for less than the £195 ticket price? Stand by, Andy.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10- I think we probably should start around the 100 mark.- Oh!- We have to.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- Come on.- 100 is a beautiful number. - That is cut in half. I can't.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- Pretty much, pretty much. You can do it.- At 195, it's not.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19You can do anything in this world. Come on. High five.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- I love your hair. Have you been growing that for a while?- No.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Cos it's beautiful. Do you know, salt and pepper...
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Oh, George Clooney!- Absolutely!
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- This is...- George Clooney, in Venice, at the wedding!
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- No-one would ever know!- One. Say one.- 130.- 130.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- What about 120 and we're done? - Go on then.- Thank you.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- Phew.- Phew. Love it! Thank you. We'll have it wrapped.- Thank you.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43With a bow, if that's all right.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Well, now, who said compliments don't get you anywhere?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49First deal of the day done.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54What will they unearth next? These are a bit more modern.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58If I was doing someone's interiors, I would easily put those on the side
0:30:58 > 0:31:00with a couple of brandy glasses and fill them up.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04- Prepare yourself, Andy.- OK, so here we go. We've got two decanters.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06- Ticket price, £33 each.- Yeah.
0:31:06 > 0:31:11So, we're going to appeal to your beautiful side and think...
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Every side. Every side is beautiful.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- What can we do? Cos you are incredible.- Oh, dear. Um...
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- For the pair.- 50 quid. 50 quid for the pair.
0:31:24 > 0:31:2735 to 40? I know that's painful.
0:31:28 > 0:31:34- £40.- Yes.- That gives you a chance then.- Thank you. Both.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39- Andy, you're the kindest man in the world.- Group hug.- We love you.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- Thanks, baby.- Thank you, darling.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- I've never sweated so much in my life!- Bye.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Our celebrities have been getting some generous deals from Andy.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51But what of their rivals?
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- Christina, how do you feel about art deco pieces?- Hmm?
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- Art deco - do you like it? - Oh, I love a bit of deco.- Good.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02Check that out for a desktop art deco piece of kit.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04That is a good-looking piece, isn't it?
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Let's have a look. So, this is some sort of weather...
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- It's a barometer, isn't it?- Yeah, so we've got a little gauge there.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- That's a clever bit of kit. - And what's that?
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Oh, a perpetual calendar. That's good.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20So we've got Fahrenheit symbol there.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22I think the thing we've got to look for here is,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- it original or is it a copy? - And is it complete?
0:32:25 > 0:32:29And I think we're absolutely sure that is original, isn't it?
0:32:29 > 0:32:33- That's circa 1930.- Yeah, I like it. - It's in good order.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- Nice angular shape.- I like it but how much is it?- I don't know.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Let's find out. You keep admiring, keep counting,
0:32:39 > 0:32:41and I'll go and find out.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45At the beck and call of both teams, Andy's up again.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47I think the best, really, is 40 quid,
0:32:47 > 0:32:51- and that's just to give you a chance.- Andy, look me in the eyes.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Andy, I'm warning you, do not look in those...
0:32:54 > 0:32:58- Andy, don't look in those eyes! Andy, look in her eyes.- £30.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- I've just been looking in Gok's eyes.- And we're a happy, happy girl.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- She's done it. He's looked into the eyes. That's it. 35.- £30.
0:33:05 > 0:33:11- Andy, look into the eyes.- £30. Look at me, go on.- I dare you! Seriously.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- How can you refuse? - You're an angel. Thank you.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Andy's certainly being kept on his toes today.
0:33:17 > 0:33:22Meanwhile, it looks like Gok's got his fashionista hat on again.
0:33:22 > 0:33:29- Oh, my... They are gorgeous! - Woo!- Oh! Oh, look at that!
0:33:30 > 0:33:35I mean, what a hat! I'm thinking that's probably '30s, I think.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Maybe, actually, a bit earlier than that. Maybe late '20s, '30s.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Oh, God, Harriet, you have found... I think we should do this.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46- I tell you why.- Go on. - Because it's theatre...- Yes.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48..for you and it's, obviously fashion.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- But this one, for me.- Yeah, 100%.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- Shall we get Andy? Shall we find out?- Andy!
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- Ah, you've got hats. - Andy, what do you think?
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- They're fabulous, aren't they? - What are the prices of them?
0:34:00 > 0:34:01They're 55 each.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05OK, let me just model this for you for a moment.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08A little lower pour moi? Oui?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10ANDY LAUGHS
0:34:10 > 0:34:16- For you, Harriet...- Oui?- I'm putty in your hand.- Thank you.- 110.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- I think we'll take them for 110. I feel that way.- Yeah.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - You've been incredible.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26We love that. We should give you some money now.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Now, this is a present from me to you.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- Harriet, can we have the money, please?- Of course.- Oh!
0:34:33 > 0:34:34Both halves.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39I was expecting 50s there, Harriet.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43THEY LAUGH
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Ooh, saucy! I think Gok's eye for fashion
0:34:45 > 0:34:51may have unearthed a real gem with these 1930s pheasant feather hats.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Try saying THAT quickly!
0:34:53 > 0:34:57- Wait! Wait! - Hang on, what are they up to?
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Are they actually nicking the experts' car? That's terrible!
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- That was all right, wasn't it?- It was good. Well done, you.- Brilliant.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- Where's the Porsche? - Yeah, where's our...?
0:35:13 > 0:35:18With their car AWOL, Christina and David have hopped into the Corvette
0:35:18 > 0:35:20and are making their way to Hastings.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Look at this. We've got a castle.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29That's fab, isn't it?
0:35:29 > 0:35:33They've come to Hastings Museum to learn about Lady Annie Brassey,
0:35:33 > 0:35:36one of the most celebrated Victorian travel writers,
0:35:36 > 0:35:41who toured the world collecting both stories and artefacts as she went.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44The Brassey family were multimillionaires
0:35:44 > 0:35:46and, like many upper-class people at the time,
0:35:46 > 0:35:48they were bitten by the travel bug.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Their overseas adventures are captured
0:35:52 > 0:35:54in Annie's extraordinary collection.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58To show them round is education officer Catherine Harvey.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01She had the most amazing eye, the most amazing interest.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03She was interested in people and how they lived,
0:36:03 > 0:36:06so there are lots of everyday items
0:36:06 > 0:36:10and she collected ethnographic material, fine art,
0:36:10 > 0:36:12oriental art, textiles.
0:36:12 > 0:36:18She even collected animals, plants, and they all travelled with her,
0:36:18 > 0:36:21as she went around collecting on their steam yacht.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Annie was keen to share her experiences
0:36:24 > 0:36:28with people who couldn't afford to do the same.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31She exhibited her collections, charging the public for entry
0:36:31 > 0:36:33and donating all the money to charity.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38I think what's unusual about Annie, is they had a young family
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- and they all went with them.- They took the children?- So, they had...
0:36:41 > 0:36:45One of their children, their second daughter, Constance,
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- died from scarlet fever aged four. - On one of the tours?
0:36:49 > 0:36:53No, before that, but the boat that they did their big journeys on,
0:36:53 > 0:36:55is called the Sunbeam and it's named after her.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Her nickname was Sunbeam
0:36:57 > 0:37:01and the figurehead is a likeness of Constance on the front of the boat.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- Oh, my gosh.- So she still went with them.- She did, in a way, didn't she?
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Yeah.- And so, they had one son and three other daughters
0:37:08 > 0:37:12and their adventures and their day-to-day activities
0:37:12 > 0:37:15are all recorded in the books that Annie wrote.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- She wrote about her journeys, did she?- She did.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21It started by her writing letters home to her father
0:37:21 > 0:37:24and they were passed around a widening circle
0:37:24 > 0:37:26of friends and family, I suppose,
0:37:26 > 0:37:29and were soon published by Longmans.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32She wrote seven books in all
0:37:32 > 0:37:34of different voyages that they went on,
0:37:34 > 0:37:39but the one that really made her name was A Voyage In The Sunbeam,
0:37:39 > 0:37:42the one that described that round-the-world trip in 1876.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45It was fantastically popular.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49It was a best-seller and it went into multiple reprints,
0:37:49 > 0:37:52was translated into numerous languages
0:37:52 > 0:37:55and there's a lovely quote in one of her later books
0:37:55 > 0:37:57about how it felt to be travelling
0:37:57 > 0:37:59in these really unknown parts of the world
0:37:59 > 0:38:02and to find that she was known. People knew all about her
0:38:02 > 0:38:04and her family because they'd read her books.
0:38:04 > 0:38:10During a trip to Australia, in 1887, Annie died of malarial fever.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15She was buried at sea, aged just 47 years old.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Her husband, Thomas, finished the book
0:38:17 > 0:38:21Annie had been writing at the time, calling it The Last Voyage.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Although long gone, Annie left the world a beautiful legacy
0:38:25 > 0:38:29in her wonderful journals and amazing collections.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34And what of our celebrity car thieves?
0:38:34 > 0:38:39- On the open road towards Sedlescombe. - Gok, can I ask you something?
0:38:39 > 0:38:44- Anything. - Do you like this car better?- No.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49I can't believe we stole this car and we had a much better Courgette.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- Can I make a suggestion?- Go on. - We steal the other one right back.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55I think we have to. We want the roof off and do you know what?
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- None of their stuff's IN the car! - Exactly!
0:38:57 > 0:39:00We only stole it so we could see what they'd bought
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- and none of it's in here! - Tough luck, chaps!
0:39:05 > 0:39:06Come on.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Having been bold shoppers on this trip,
0:39:09 > 0:39:12our celebrity team have just £30 left to spend.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Will Bridge Garage Antiques and Collectables Centre
0:39:15 > 0:39:18and dealer Paul have something on their wish list?
0:39:18 > 0:39:21We're looking for something British and silver, if possible.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26- And something which is beautiful ornate, decorative.- Eye-catching.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- Eye-catching. Something that's going to give us the wow factor.- To win.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- Yeah, to win.- To win. - Not asking for much then, are you?!
0:39:35 > 0:39:41- Paul?- What's that?- That's a very nice little vesta box, but it's £68.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- How much have you got?- 30.- We've got 30. We've got no more.- 30?- Yeah.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- Um... - And a vesta box, just so I know,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50it was a box that you put matches in?
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- You see the striker on the bottom? - Absolutely.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57- And was it sailors that had them? - Oh, it was everybody.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58They had it on their chain.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Cos everyone smoked, back in those days, didn't they?
0:40:01 > 0:40:04- And they all had them.- Incredible.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08And just the idea that that was a gentleman's accessory, for me,
0:40:08 > 0:40:12- it feels so beautifully historic. - That's amazing.- It's gorgeous.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- Do you think that would be good? - I think it would be good.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17So, Paul, when it gets to auction,
0:40:17 > 0:40:20I'm assuming that that E and there's an S around it,
0:40:20 > 0:40:21- are the initials of someone.- Yeah.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Would that put somebody off buying a product
0:40:24 > 0:40:26because it was so personal to someone?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28I don't think so, because it's so old.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- Right.- I think that's...- And it's a quality piece.- Absolutely.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- It's very nice.- It's beautiful. - Yeah.- It's a nice thing.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38But will the owner do a deal for 30?
0:40:41 > 0:40:46- So, where are we then, Paul?- Well, I can't get hold of the guy concerned,
0:40:46 > 0:40:49but I have made an executive decision
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- and I'm going to charge you £30. - Yeah!- Yes!
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- Thank you!- Thank you so much! - Give me your hands.- Thank you.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Thank you so much. You adorable man! Money, you're going to have to pay.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- It's a pleasure.- There we go.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Now, would you like this wrapped or how would you like it?
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- I'll do it like this, babe. Thank you.- Thank you so much,.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08See you later. Bye. Love you.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11And just like that, Harriet and Gok have spent every single penny.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13But have our novices bought well?
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Time for the experts to get an eyeful.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- Who wants to go first? - Harriet Thorpe, show us your wares.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- GOK:- I think you should reveal. Reveal, Harriet.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26- No, no...- Sorry, sorry! My mistake! - Here is our stuff.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- Whoa.- Ta-da!- Look at those!
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- CHRISTINA:- I love the hats! I LOVE the hats!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35We knew you'd go theatrical, we knew it.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39We had to because they're so beautiful and creative -
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- like our good selves.- Yeah, exactly.
0:41:42 > 0:41:47- And I love, my gosh, the carrier. - Yeah.- Whatever it is - is it straw?
0:41:47 > 0:41:49- We have to open it. - We have to open it.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Because, inside...
0:41:54 > 0:41:56- It's got original paperwork in there.- CHRISTINA:- Oh, wow!
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- GOK:- Which is travel... So, it's basically dated.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01It was obviously done by somebody who travelled.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04- CHRISTINA:- So, what date is that? 19...
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- GOK:- It is 1921, this one. - CHRISTINA:- Oh, wow.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- GOK:- This is a letter. So, the reason we liked this is,
0:42:10 > 0:42:13it's not only a fabulous piece, it looks great,
0:42:13 > 0:42:16it would look great in anyone's home now,
0:42:16 > 0:42:18so it's a great aesthetic piece.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Also, it comes with so much more history than wood ever would do,
0:42:21 > 0:42:23because it's got a human thought, a human story to it,
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- and I think that is actually quite desirable.- I think it's fascinating.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29You actually have bought with passion, haven't you?
0:42:29 > 0:42:31You bought the things that you really love.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34And that's part of the enjoyment, with this business.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38- Have you spent everything? - GOK:- Every single penny.- £400?
0:42:38 > 0:42:41- GOK:- If you're going to shop, you've got to shop!- Oh, my gosh!
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- I'm really, really interested. You've spent every pound?- Yeah.
0:42:45 > 0:42:50- Everything.- Good for you! Now for the experts' lots.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- GOK:- Oh, they're beautiful. Look at those.- Oh, no.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56- Oh!- Look at that!- Uh-oh. - I'm shopping now.- Yeah.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- Lovely urns.- Oh, I say!- Right. - That's amazing.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Did you nick them from the garden out here
0:43:01 > 0:43:04cos there's loads of them out there? Have you nicked them?
0:43:04 > 0:43:08- Did you see the two patches on the lawn?- That's where WE were sitting!
0:43:08 > 0:43:12LAUGHTER
0:43:12 > 0:43:15I have to say, I love the urns. They're incredible.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18I would use them in any fashion shoot that I was doing
0:43:18 > 0:43:20and I would use them in my own home as well.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24I think they're beautiful and I love the proportions, I love the size.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27- Do you like the big pot?- I love her. She's got a chip though.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- It's got several chips.- Really?
0:43:30 > 0:43:33- I do like it. Is it a potty?- No.- Oh. - So, she's chipped...
0:43:33 > 0:43:37- CHRISTINA:- It might turn into a potty.- GOK:- What is it for?
0:43:37 > 0:43:39- What's it for? - It's a planter. It's a jardiniere.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41But it's by somebody called George Jones.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43- GOK:- So it's got a name on it? - Oh, yeah.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46George Jones was a very famous maker of majolica.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49- GOK:- Dior.- Yeah, definitely Dior. - LAUGHTER
0:43:49 > 0:43:52- Chanel or Dior.- Definitely. - Chanel, Dior...
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Weren't these the last hats that Coco Chanel ever made?
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- Ever made or wore.- They're the hats that made her have a bobbed haircut.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01- Yeah, that's right.- We hoped they were going to buy a load of tat
0:44:01 > 0:44:05- but they haven't, have they? - No, very impressed.- Disappointing.
0:44:05 > 0:44:09- I feel really proud of that, don't you? Honestly?- Just a little bit.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11- No, good job.- Well done. We'll see you at the auction.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14- GOK:- See you there. - Good luck.- Good luck.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18So, out of earshot, what did they REALLY think?
0:44:18 > 0:44:22- You look a bit deep in thought, Mrs. - I AM deep in thought.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26I love that they bought everything with absolute passion.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28- Mmm.- They love every one of the things they've bought,
0:44:28 > 0:44:32- but I'm really worried about those hats.- Mmm.
0:44:32 > 0:44:36- £50 or £500 - you can't value the hats.- They are beautiful.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39Even though I like a couple of their bits,
0:44:39 > 0:44:42- a barometer on your desk - who's going to use that?- No-one.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44- 20 broken vases?- Travesty.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47I really thought that Gok was going to hate our majolica
0:44:47 > 0:44:49and he just loved it.
0:44:49 > 0:44:53- Apparently, we are bang on trend. - Yeah, hello!- Who knew?
0:44:53 > 0:44:56THEY LAUGH
0:44:56 > 0:44:59- You know what else is happening?- Go on.- We're taking back that Corvette.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01- It's ours.- Come on.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05From starting in Eastbourne,
0:45:05 > 0:45:07our two teams have shopped around south-east England
0:45:07 > 0:45:12and have now motored their way to Southend-on-Sea for the big finale.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16- Southend, babes.- I love this place.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19And I love this place even more now we're back in THIS car
0:45:19 > 0:45:23- and not that rickety thing.- That was hideous. Why did they want that?
0:45:23 > 0:45:27- Well... You know, suits their buys.- Yes.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30- I think we've got a good fighting chance.- I hope so.
0:45:30 > 0:45:34I do like them, but I think we could probably give them a hand
0:45:34 > 0:45:37- the next time they're out buying some antiques.- Yeah.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40- Do you think we're going to win? - I hope so.
0:45:40 > 0:45:44- Well, we have to. - Time will soon tell.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50Here they are. Wahey! They look cool.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53GOK AND HARRIET CHEER
0:45:53 > 0:45:55- Hello.- Oh, we got the clothes right, Gok.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58- We got the clothes right. We got it! - I'll open the door over this side.
0:46:00 > 0:46:04Our teams are about to go head-to-head at Chalkwell Auctions
0:46:04 > 0:46:07and the man with the gavel is Trevor Cornforth.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09GAVEL BANGS
0:46:09 > 0:46:11My favourite item today is definitely the hats.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13They're absolutely superb.
0:46:13 > 0:46:17They're some of the best hats I've seen in the last five years
0:46:17 > 0:46:20and if they don't do well, I'd be extremely surprised.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23There are two strugglers, as far as I'm concerned,
0:46:23 > 0:46:25and both are down to condition -
0:46:25 > 0:46:28that's the box of perfume bottles and the planter.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31They're both damaged and in the current market,
0:46:31 > 0:46:34people simply do not want to buy damaged goods.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36They don't want to buy an awful lot at all,
0:46:36 > 0:46:38but if it's damaged, there's no point.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40That'll worry our experts.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45They spent a total of £200 on five auction lots.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51Our celebrities' clever buys could stand them in good stead here.
0:46:51 > 0:46:56They shopped boldly, spending the full £400 on six lots.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58Right, it's the moment of truth.
0:46:58 > 0:47:02Our experts' reputation all rides on this auction
0:47:02 > 0:47:04which has buyers online and in the room.
0:47:04 > 0:47:10- Have you been to an auction before? - GOK:- No, I'm very excited.
0:47:10 > 0:47:16First up, it's our experts' biggest spend - the cast-iron garden urns.
0:47:16 > 0:47:20Start me at £50, get them going. Any interest at £50 on the garden urns?
0:47:20 > 0:47:24- 50 I'm bid here. - You've got one, you've got one.
0:47:24 > 0:47:28- We need a long way to go yet. - 60 on the net. 70, sir?
0:47:28 > 0:47:30- No, against you then at 60 on the net.- Come on!
0:47:30 > 0:47:33- 60?- We're at £60 at the moment. Surely more than that.
0:47:33 > 0:47:38Any interest beyond £60? This is a pair you're buying. At £60.
0:47:38 > 0:47:42- Nobody with a garden? 70 with the gentleman.- Someone's got a garden.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45- You got another one, same guy. - Any advance on 70?
0:47:45 > 0:47:48I need 80 on the internet. We're at £70 at the moment.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50- Oh, Christina...- All done at £70.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53- GAVEL BANGS - Ouch!
0:47:53 > 0:47:55- That's a big hit.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:47:55 > 0:47:59Fear not! There's plenty more to come.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02We should be used to it.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05Even though we are your competition, I do feel really sorry for you.
0:48:05 > 0:48:10- Truthfully?- Don't you feel bad for them?- I'm so sad!- Isn't that awful?
0:48:10 > 0:48:12- Can you feel the sincerity? - High five.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14Yeah, that's how bad we feel right now.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17- Oh, sorry.- No flies on me, baby. - LAUGHTER
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Oh, dear.
0:48:21 > 0:48:25Let's see how the experts' spinning chair fares.
0:48:25 > 0:48:29I love this. I've found my new hobby.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31- CHRISTINA:- Really?- GOK:- I love this! - £20 to get it going.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34Any interest at £20? 20 I'm bid.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36- It's on the net at the moment at £20.- Oh, good.- 25 anywhere?
0:48:36 > 0:48:40I've got £20 at the moment. Where's 25 on this one? 25 in the room.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43Gentleman's bid there at £25. I need 30 on it.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46At £25 in the room and I need 30 on this one.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49- Go on!- All done at 25?- No, no, no.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52- One time at 25...- Go on! Who hasn't got a spinning chair?
0:48:52 > 0:48:55- GAVEL BANGS - Put your hands up. No!- Oh.- Oh, no!
0:48:55 > 0:48:59Hurrah, a profit. That's more like it.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01It's amazing, actually,
0:49:01 > 0:49:04because all that love that went into finding the pieces,
0:49:04 > 0:49:08- spending the money on them, you want them to do well.- Of course you do.
0:49:08 > 0:49:09There's a certain amount of ownership
0:49:09 > 0:49:11I've got over those products.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14- You, the most competitive person in the room...- How can you say that?
0:49:14 > 0:49:17- I didn't know that.- CHRISTINA:- Are you competitive? Really?
0:49:17 > 0:49:20- GOK:- She's so bad. So bad.
0:49:20 > 0:49:23- It's great.- Pot?- Love you.
0:49:23 > 0:49:24Oh...
0:49:25 > 0:49:28THEY LAUGH
0:49:30 > 0:49:32Right, settle down.
0:49:32 > 0:49:37It's time for Harriet and Gok's first lot - the silver vesta case.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39Let's get the bidding going, shall we, at £20.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42Any interest at £20 on the little silver vesta?
0:49:42 > 0:49:45I've got £20 bid at the back of the room. Any advance on £20? 25.
0:49:45 > 0:49:49- DAVID:- Oh, they're going.- Wonderful! - Loving you!- Love you!
0:49:49 > 0:49:52- That colour looks great on you! - £30 in the room at the moment.
0:49:52 > 0:49:56- Any advance on £30?- Come on.- It's a room bid at the moment at £30.
0:49:56 > 0:50:00- Are we all done at 30?- Fabulous. - Come on!- All done at 30, no?
0:50:00 > 0:50:02- Final time. - GAVEL BANGS
0:50:02 > 0:50:05- Thank you very much!- Thank you! - We love you! Merry Christmas!
0:50:05 > 0:50:08Happy Chinese New Year!
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Gok's certainly thankful.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13This is actually harder than getting women naked in a shopping centre.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15I'm exhausted.
0:50:15 > 0:50:20I say! Will their glass decanters prove more popular?
0:50:20 > 0:50:22Start me at £10. Get them going. I've got 10. 15.
0:50:22 > 0:50:2520. 25.
0:50:25 > 0:50:2730. 35.
0:50:27 > 0:50:2840?
0:50:28 > 0:50:3135 in the middle of the room.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34- DAVID:- 35. Oh, you need a bit more.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37- At 35, all done?- They're my pair, come on!- Final time at 35.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39- GAVEL BANGS - I've squeezed as far as I can.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42- Oh!- We lost a fiver.- It's not bad.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45- Lost a fiver.- Lost a fiver but, hey, we're still in the game.
0:50:45 > 0:50:49Someone has bagged a bargain with that pair of decanters.
0:50:51 > 0:50:56Up next is Christina and David's majolica planter pot.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59Can this damaged jardiniere pull in a profit?
0:50:59 > 0:51:01Start me at £20 on it.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03£20 to start. £20 I'm bid.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06- 25. 30. 35. - I love the fact she was so shocked.
0:51:06 > 0:51:10- I've got 30 bid here. - HARRIET:- What did you pay for it?
0:51:10 > 0:51:1235. 40? 35 in the room then.
0:51:12 > 0:51:16It's on my left at £35. Are we done at £35?
0:51:16 > 0:51:19- Final time at 35. - GAVEL BANGS
0:51:19 > 0:51:22- Oh!- Well done.- CHRISTINA:- A gentleman of excellent taste.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25Fantastic profit there for our experts.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30Harriet, Gok, you're playing catch-up now
0:51:30 > 0:51:33with your Bakelite gentleman's kit.
0:51:33 > 0:51:3620 to start anywhere? Good piece of Bakelite.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39It's in very good condition. 20 I'm bid in the room. We're at £20.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42- Can you bid, Gok?- DAVID:- No, no, no.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44At 25 here. Are you 30, sir?
0:51:44 > 0:51:49No. At 25 again to you on the front row. All done at 25.
0:51:49 > 0:51:51- GAVEL BANGS - 1671.
0:51:51 > 0:51:54- Bad luck.- Original blades and everything.- Thank you very much.
0:51:54 > 0:51:58The Southend crowd are getting some good deals today.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02How are you feeling about this auction experience?
0:52:02 > 0:52:04- GOK:- It's the best day of my life!- CHRISTINA:- Really?
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Will you still feel the same
0:52:06 > 0:52:10if Christina and David's selection of scent bottles do well?
0:52:10 > 0:52:13Start you at £20, see where we go to. 20 to start.
0:52:13 > 0:52:16- 20 I'm bid, here on my right. - HARRIET:- He's bidding.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19- Come on!- At 20. 25.
0:52:19 > 0:52:2330 in the room. I've got 30 in the room. I need 35.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26Are we all done at £30? Surely not at £30.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29- It's in the room at 30.- Oh!
0:52:29 > 0:52:33- Oh!- All done at 30? He's sure he's going to get them, isn't he? At £30.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36- GAVEL BANGS - It's a £10 profit.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38- That's all right.- Indeed it is.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41That profit pushes our experts further into the lead.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45Here come the hats - a very clever buy
0:52:45 > 0:52:49and the auctioneer's favourite lot. Can they help close the gap?
0:52:49 > 0:52:51Let's start these at £50.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53£50 to start, surely, on the three hats.
0:52:56 > 0:53:02- I have a bid of 50.- Love you! - Any advance on £50? 60.- Love you!
0:53:02 > 0:53:04- Thank you!- Congratulations, almost! - Whoo!
0:53:04 > 0:53:07- She hasn't bought them yet. - LAUGHTER
0:53:07 > 0:53:11£70 to the gentleman? At £60 with the lady at the moment.
0:53:11 > 0:53:13£70 to the gentleman with the wonderful smile.
0:53:13 > 0:53:18- At £60 at the moment. Any advance on 60?- Yeah!- 70.- Thank you, sir.
0:53:18 > 0:53:21- Thank you, you gorgeous man! - 80, madam?
0:53:21 > 0:53:24- 80.- Yes!- We love you! - You are amazing. You get a kiss.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27- CHRISTINA:- Oh, good lord! - Well, it's been nice knowing you.
0:53:27 > 0:53:31- Amazing! Kisses for free.- Oh, dear. Here we go. £80 for the lady.
0:53:31 > 0:53:3480, sir? Harriet will kiss you.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37- Any advance on £80? - Don't make THAT face!
0:53:37 > 0:53:39LAUGHTER
0:53:39 > 0:53:41£80. Are we all finished at £80?
0:53:41 > 0:53:43I hope not because they're worth far more than that.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46- I can see your fingers twitching. - Are we all done at £80?
0:53:46 > 0:53:48For the final time. I can't go any longer,
0:53:48 > 0:53:51- I shall fall off the rostrum. £80. - GAVEL BANGS
0:53:51 > 0:53:54- APPLAUSE - Thank you!
0:53:54 > 0:53:57Thank you very much. You look beautiful.
0:53:57 > 0:54:00I think they're lovely.
0:54:00 > 0:54:04That lucky lady got herself a fabulous deal there.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08Hopefully, Harriet and Gok's 19th-century travel trunk
0:54:08 > 0:54:10will do a bit better.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13Start me at £50 and see where we end up. £50 to start.
0:54:13 > 0:54:17- Any interest at £50?- Yes! - I've got a bid of 50 in the room.
0:54:17 > 0:54:2060, sir. 70 in the room? 70 in the room?
0:54:20 > 0:54:23At 70 in the room. Looking for 80 on the net.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26This is exceptionally cheap at £70.
0:54:26 > 0:54:30Back in on the internet. We squeezed them at 80.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33Are you out, sir? I've got £90, seated in the room now.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36Internet, are you out? I've got £90 bid.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38- Are we finished? - GAVEL BANGS
0:54:38 > 0:54:40- Yours, sir.- Yeah!- Whoo!
0:54:40 > 0:54:43Well done, sir! Whoo-hoo!
0:54:43 > 0:54:48Great to see that loss hasn't dampened Harriet and Gok's spirits.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52Time for Christina and David's final lot.
0:54:52 > 0:54:56Can they push further into the lead with their art deco barometer?

0:55:20 > 0:55:23- GAVEL BANGS - Oh!- Well done.
0:55:23 > 0:55:27- You got a fiver on it. - THEY LAUGH
0:55:27 > 0:55:31That will actually result in a small loss after auction costs, I'm afraid.
0:55:33 > 0:55:37Following the auction house advice on what to buy,
0:55:37 > 0:55:41let's hope Harriet and Gok's oriental trinket boxes prove popular.
0:55:41 > 0:55:46- It's our last chance.- It is.- Start me at £20 for the three of them.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49- £20 straightaway. - We've got 20 here. Go on.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52That's three boxes you're buying for £20. 25 on the net.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55- 30 in the room. I've got 30 in the room.- That's only £10 apiece.
0:55:55 > 0:55:58- We've got to get to 100 and we're there.- £30 at the moment.
0:55:58 > 0:56:01Any advance on £30? In the room at £30.

0:56:06 > 0:56:09At 35 at the back of the room. Looking for 40.
0:56:09 > 0:56:14- All done at 35. Are you done? - They are stunning, let me tell you!
0:56:14 > 0:56:17- GAVEL BANGS - Stunning!- Oh!- OK, 35.
0:56:17 > 0:56:22- 35, thank you.- Well, it's more good news for our experts.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26- That's it.- That's it. Are you feeling a bit better now?
0:56:26 > 0:56:29- I'm shattered. Do we get therapy after this?- Seriously.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31Seriously, we need to be talked down.
0:56:31 > 0:56:33- I'm going to have to carry you out. - GOK:- I'm exhausted!
0:56:33 > 0:56:36I need two weeks in the Himalayas to get over today.
0:56:36 > 0:56:39- CHRISTINA:- Come on, let's go and do some sums.
0:56:39 > 0:56:41So, who won today's battle -
0:56:41 > 0:56:45our celebrity antique novices or our well-versed experts?
0:56:45 > 0:56:49Harriet and Gok started with £400.
0:56:49 > 0:56:56After paying auction costs, sadly, they made a loss today of £158.10.
0:56:56 > 0:57:01So, they end the trip with £241.90.
0:57:03 > 0:57:08Christina and David also kicked off with £400 and also made a loss -
0:57:08 > 0:57:12albeit a lot smaller - of £40.10 after auction costs.
0:57:12 > 0:57:17Which means, they're crowned today's winners - thankfully -
0:57:17 > 0:57:20and end with £359.90.
0:57:20 > 0:57:24- We all know... We think we've all lost a bit of money.- Yeah.
0:57:24 > 0:57:27- So, it's all down to scale of losses.- OK.
0:57:27 > 0:57:29- Not starting well, is it?- No. - Christina Trevanion,
0:57:29 > 0:57:35- you and I lost about £40.- OK. Ouch!
0:57:35 > 0:57:39Gok and Harriet... you lost about £160.
0:57:39 > 0:57:42- Oh, no!- Get in the car!
0:57:42 > 0:57:44- We're going! - CHRISTINA:- Does that mean we won?
0:57:44 > 0:57:46We're going! Nothing to us!
0:57:46 > 0:57:51- I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Because we've won?- No! No!
0:57:51 > 0:57:55- Don't even look at them! You mean nothing!- What's all this about?
0:57:55 > 0:57:59You and your vases and your broken perfume bottles!
0:57:59 > 0:58:01- Thanks for the experience! - Nice seeing you.
0:58:01 > 0:58:04- Nothing.- Excuse I.- Nothing.
0:58:04 > 0:58:06- CHRISTINA:- Bye. Don't crash. - Keep in touch!
0:58:06 > 0:58:07- You know what?- Don't care.
0:58:07 > 0:58:10We may have lost, but let me tell you this, babe -
0:58:10 > 0:58:13- we are taking the car!- Absolutely!
0:58:13 > 0:58:16What a pair of jokers.
