0:00:02 > 0:00:04- The nation's favourite celebrities...- Ooh, I like that.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- ..paired up with an expert... - We've had some fun, haven't we?
0:00:07 > 0:00:10- ..and a classic car.- It feels as if it could go quite fast.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15- Their mission - to scour Britain for antiques.- Yes!- Fantastic!
0:00:15 > 0:00:16I'll do that in slow-mo.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:19 > 0:00:25- Come on, boys!- But it's no easy ride. Who will find a hidden gem?
0:00:25 > 0:00:29- Don't sell me!- Who will take the biggest risks?- Go away, darling!
0:00:29 > 0:00:34- Will anybody follow expert advice? - I'm trying to spend money here.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38- There will be worthy winners... - Yes!- ..and valiant losers.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Put your pedal to the metal. This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Yeah!
0:00:52 > 0:00:55On today's show, we're joined by a couple of top presenting pals,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Jules Hudson and Nicki Chapman.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02You know what's interesting, Nicki, I mean, we do work together.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- I think we've worked together for 10 years.- Yeah...
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- I don't even know you. - But we've never competed, have we?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10We've never competed in anything.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- We work together but we very rarely meet.- I know it's bizarre, isn't it?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16But we know each other intimately.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Ooh, I say!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Both Nicki and Jules regularly front
0:01:20 > 0:01:23the hugely popular series Escape To The Country.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27But before becoming a familiar face on TV,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Nicki was one of the most powerful publicists in the music industry,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33representing such megastars
0:01:33 > 0:01:37as the word's biggest girl band, the Spice Girls.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Nicki went from working with the famous to finding fame herself
0:01:42 > 0:01:47as a judge on music talent shows Popstars and Pop Idol.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Her amazing career now spans both radio and television,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52presenting on many shows,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56including antipodean extravaganza Wanted Down Under.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59The haggling - that's what I'm going to be looking forward to.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04I think your wily smile will do a better job at negotiating than me.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Do you think? - Yeah, I reckon, I reckon.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Have I got a twinkle in my eye?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I think you'll walk in there and they'll say,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12"Oh, my goodness me, it's Madame Chapman!"
0:02:15 > 0:02:17As well as presenting Escape To The Country with Nicki,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Jules is also a writer, broadcaster,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23historian, archaeologist and craftsman.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27And he's a housewives' heartthrob,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29who's always popping up onto our screens,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31including reporting for Countryfile.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- See, I'm a bit of an old fogey. - Are you?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I was a young fogey years ago and now I'm an old fogey.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- But I've always been a fogey and I was called Granddad at school.- Ah!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Because I was a young fogey and, in fact,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47somebody gave me The Young Fogey Handbook.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Somebody wrote that and I still have a copy of it.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55This morning, our self-confessed fogey and Nicki are motoring
0:02:55 > 0:02:59around Herefordshire in this iconic cream Morgan 4/4.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- This is your neck of the woods, isn't it?- It is, yeah.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I've lived in Herefordshire now
0:03:06 > 0:03:08for the last four and a half years or so.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- Beautiful countryside!- It really is.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Unspoilt, I think, this part of the country.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15It's very depopulated, that's the nice thing about it.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Is that why you moved here, cos you don't have any friends?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Something like that! - THEY LAUGH
0:03:23 > 0:03:25On this journey,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Jules and Nicki will be joined by Road Trip regulars,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30the ever-smiley Natasha Raskin
0:03:30 > 0:03:33and the self-confessed grump Philip Serrell.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I'm thrilled to see you, Phil. How are you?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39It's always a joy to see you. It's always a joy.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- I find that happy, smiley face so infectious.- Really?
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- I think I might smile today.- I think you've cracked one out already.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- It's a bit early for that! - THEY LAUGH
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Crikey!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54This morning, they're whizzing towards the meeting point
0:03:54 > 0:03:57in this brilliant blue 1976 MGB.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02What about Nicki and Jules? Is it going to be boys v girls?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Yeah, let's do that, actually. We don't do that enough.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Boys v girls. I'd like to do that.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I'd like to meet Nicki, actually, properly, cos I was a big fan
0:04:10 > 0:04:13of all these Popstars and Pop Idol shows when I was a kid.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Once paired up, our teams will hit the road with £400 in their pockets.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Starting in Wormsley in Herefordshire,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25they'll journey all over the county, dipping into Wales and Oxfordshire,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29before finally finishing in North Finchley in London for auction.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Here we go, look.- Hello! Oh, they look cool!
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Look at this. Are you OK getting out? Perfect.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41A ladylike way of getting out. Hello. Lovely to meet you, Natasha.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Hello, how are you?- I'm very well, thank you.- Are you all right?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- I think so. - Are you unfolding yourself, mate?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- If YOU'VE got that trouble, Lord knows what I've got.- It's tight.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- It's a little bit tight, isn't it? - But effective. Hello, Natasha.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Nice to see you. - NATASHA:- Nice to see you too.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Boys v girls?- Sounds good to us.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Yes, we can do this, we can do it, Nicki!- We're a team!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Shall we hop off?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Teamed up, it's time to hit the road.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Which is the way in here? - Just squeeze yourself in.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- Sorry, lads. Ooh! See ya! - Bye! History!
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- So, is Jules always that competitive?- Oh, yeah.- Really?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Yeah. He's already got a strategy. - A strategy?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Yeah, he's already got a strategy. He didn't give too much away.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- This car is intimate, isn't it? - It's definitely intimate!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34This morning, Nicki and Natasha will head to Bishopstone
0:05:34 > 0:05:37in Herefordshire to kick-start their hunt for antiques.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- Have you bought at antique shops before or is it a pastime?- I have.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- It's not a pastime, but I have done it and it went well.- Wait a minute.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49When you say it went well, does that mean your haggling went well?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Haggling was good. I do like to haggle.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Well, that's handy. First shop of this trip looks big.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Lord Nelson Antiques Centre.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Ooh, it's looking good!
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Hidden inside this deconsecrated pub
0:06:06 > 0:06:08are the treasures of around 20 dealers.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10There's plenty to pick from.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Hello, hi. I'm Nicki.- I'm Richard.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Richard, nice to meet you. - Good morning, Richard. Tasha.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- So, this is, for Nicki and I, our first shop.- Right.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- So, we'd better get started. - Yeah.- Yes.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Shall we start at the top and work our way down?- Let's do that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- We're going to have to be disciplined.- Mmm.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Game plan in place, the girls are off.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- My goodness!- This is huge. - There's so much choice!
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- Look at this!- Are you talking about this trunk?- This is a piece!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44£1,500!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46How good are we at haggling?
0:06:46 > 0:06:51I'm reckoning not THAT good! Think a bit cheaper, Nicki.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Hairdryer.- Is that...?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Yeah, where would a woman be without a hairdryer?- That'll do!
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Bakelite hairdryer and case.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Would you use this on your travels? - Never! Beautiful though, isn't it?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04You want to plug it in and see how it goes.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Apparently, it works. It's been tested.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09You'd be a brave woman to get up in the morning,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12have an appointment to go to and trust this piece
0:07:12 > 0:07:15to get you through looking good. But it looks pretty cool
0:07:15 > 0:07:18and the fact it's got its case with its mirror,
0:07:18 > 0:07:19is it worth having a haggle over this?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Could be, couldn't it? Do we think the price is good?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24If we could get it for £20, it could be worth it. I like this.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30The Bakelite hairdryer is noted for consideration. Anything else?
0:07:30 > 0:07:36Natasha, how about these vases here, this pair of Art Nouveau vases?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39They are very Eastern European.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Now, while we know this style as Art Nouveau,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44in the East, it was Jugendstil. It was a sort of a "young style",
0:07:44 > 0:07:48so people breaking away from the more traditional 19th-century look.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Jugendstil.- Look at the beautiful design on these at the bottom.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- I love those! - You've got those really organic,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56almost like plants growing off the stems at the bottom.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57What do we think?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01First of all, straightaway here - the light just catches it -
0:08:01 > 0:08:04there are some splashes of green paint on the body.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Someone has had a go at repainting
0:08:06 > 0:08:09these little sort of leaves here green
0:08:09 > 0:08:12and so they've managed to move their thumb or something across it
0:08:12 > 0:08:15and smudge it onto the body, so not ideal.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Now, looking around, there's something at £300, £900,
0:08:18 > 0:08:20£400 and then, at the back, £80.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23This dealer knows that they're not worth a huge amount.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- What would you put an offer in at? - I mean, it's got to be half price.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I don't work for less than 50%, come on!
0:08:32 > 0:08:36The vases join the hairdryer on Nicki and Natasha's wish list.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Time to talk money with Richard. First, the Bakelite hairdryer.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- What can we do on the price? - Um, what's it got on it?- £48.- £48.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- I'll ring the dealer.- Can you?- Yeah. - Can I speak to them?- Yeah, sure.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Great. Right, OK.- I hope it's a woman. You'll be fine.- It is.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00- Oh, it's a woman!- Is it?- Hey, Trisha, the vendor, is on the phone.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Time for Nicki to try to haggle.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05What could be your best price?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10We were thinking around...£25?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14£27? How does that sound?
0:09:14 > 0:09:19£27. I'm very happy with that. Thank you. Bye.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- Look at that! Well done! - First purchase! We have a hairdryer!
0:09:25 > 0:09:29We have a hairdryer. OK, relax. Whoo, whoo, whoo.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Are we going to continue this theme?
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Nicki's on a roll.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Next, the pair of Austrian Art Nouveau vases.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Brace yourself, Richard.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42They're currently on for £80. What's your best price on those?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- The best I can do on them is £60. - Would you come down a bit more?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- We were thinking sort of £40, £45. - I can't. £60.- They're quite dusty.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53That means people haven't been picking them up.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54RICHARD LAUGHS
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- £50.- £55.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57- £50.- £55.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- £52.- £55.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- £54.- £55.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- He's ever so good, isn't he? I'm trying.- You certainly are!
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- £55.- Done.- Thank you, sir. - That's a pleasure.- Much appreciated.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Thank you. We're willing to take a risk.- Well...
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Could you dust them before you pack them up?- Certainly.- Thank you.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17What a gent, eh?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Two very generous deals there means
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Nicki and Natasha walk away with two lots for auction.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Great start. Brum-brum.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- ENGINE REVS - Yay!
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Meanwhile, the boys are opting for a more chilled-out start to their day,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38and have taken the Morgan 20 minutes east to just outside Hereford.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Escape To The Country - good fun? - Beautiful.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46I love it and, for me, it was an absolute joy,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48because that's what I've done my entire life,
0:10:48 > 0:10:50so it's a chance to share my passion for country life
0:10:50 > 0:10:53with a lot of people who want to get involved
0:10:53 > 0:10:54and do the same sort of thing,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57so, yeah, it's an absolute joy, mate, it really is.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59But you've got a bit of a military background, haven't you?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- I did spend about five minutes in the army.- Yeah.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Yeah, I went to Sandhurst, never won any medals.- Really?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- But I grew up in an army town, you see, in Colchester.- Yeah.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09My grandfather was in the army
0:11:09 > 0:11:12and so I've always had this deep fascination with military history
0:11:12 > 0:11:14and every now and then, they let me loose
0:11:14 > 0:11:15with a military history series.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Philip's decided to start their road trip
0:11:20 > 0:11:24by taking Jules to the Herefordshire Light Infantry Museum.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36Ah, crikey! I've got to peel this off me, Phil.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I'm not sure if Charles Morgan made a bigger car than this.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42They were small people in those days, that's for sure!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46They've come to learn about the regiment's part
0:11:46 > 0:11:49in one of the defining moments of the First World War,
0:11:49 > 0:11:53and are meeting Colonel Andy Taylor to find out more.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Jules, you'd better tell me if I've got to salute anything.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I don't think there's any need to do that this morning.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Good morning, Jules. - Nice to see you. How are you?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- Good to see you. - Welcome to Suvla Barracks
0:12:04 > 0:12:06and the home of the Regimental Museum.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08You've packed this, haven't you?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10There's a lot packed into this small room,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12but then there's a lot of history to the regiment as well.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16The barracks has been the home of reserve soldiers from Herefordshire
0:12:16 > 0:12:20for over 150 years and they marched away from here to the Boer War,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23the First World War and the Second World War.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25The Battle of Gallipoli in Turkey
0:12:25 > 0:12:28was one of the Allies' great disasters of World War I.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32It was a failed attempt by the Allied forces
0:12:32 > 0:12:35to control the sea route from Europe into Russia.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Had it been successful, it would have allowed the Allies to link up
0:12:39 > 0:12:43with the Russians and the plan was then to knock Ottoman Turkey,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46a ally of Germany, out of the war.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50The naval and land operation started in 1915
0:12:50 > 0:12:53and a battalion from the Herefordshire Regiment
0:12:53 > 0:12:55was in combat not long after.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Gallipoli was notoriously bloodthirsty.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Yes, it was, and the first landings took place in April,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05which were at Cape Helles and at Anzac Cove,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08and that soon developed into stalemate.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11And a second landing was proposed to the north at Suvla Bay,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13to try and break that stalemate.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15And it was that landing, in August,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17which the Herefordshire Regiment took part in.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21They landed on August 8th. There was a degree of confusion,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- as there was right the way through the battle.- Yeah.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28The support, the organisation was not as good as it should have been
0:13:28 > 0:13:32and the Herefordshire Regiment landed, they had no maps,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34they had no orders.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36They were eventually given orders
0:13:36 > 0:13:39and told to advance to a dried-up river course.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41They advanced, didn't meet the enemy,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44but took a lot of casualties through artillery fire.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50For a campaign that lasted less than a year,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53the death toll at Gallipoli was very high,
0:13:53 > 0:13:57with around 50,000 Allied soldiers losing their lives.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00But their deaths were not in vain.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06In many ways, Gallipoli was the first amphibious assault
0:14:06 > 0:14:11and the planning was not as detailed as it should have been.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I think the lessons learnt were not to underestimate the enemy,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18not to underestimate the territory,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20to plan well, to support the forces well.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23And I think that those lessons were learnt,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26so the great amphibious landings of the Second World War -
0:14:26 > 0:14:27D-Day, for example -
0:14:27 > 0:14:30would, perhaps, not have been successful as they were.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38We've got here a collection of artefacts from Captain Ashton.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Captain Ashton was the adjutant of the battalion at Suvla Bay.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47He was the first officer to land on the beaches there
0:14:47 > 0:14:52and he was also the last officer to be evacuated on 12th December.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Captain Ashton wrote a diary of his time at Gallipoli
0:14:56 > 0:14:58and later during the war as well.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02There are some extracts here which you might be interested in.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06"I had been first ashore. I was the last to leave.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08"It was impossible not to notice the contrast -
0:15:08 > 0:15:12"that brilliant August morning, 750 strong,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15"the battalion full of fight and high endeavour,
0:15:15 > 0:15:20"this dark December night, slinking away, under 100 strong,
0:15:20 > 0:15:25"weary, dirty, disillusioned. And, yet, I was sorry to go."
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Yes, I think there was a great survivors' guilt
0:15:27 > 0:15:29amongst those individuals.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32They'd started the campaign with such high endeavour,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35they'd suffered so much, they'd lost good friends,
0:15:35 > 0:15:41either killed or wounded, and they had achieved next to nothing.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Back with the girls and they're popping over the border into Wales,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56heading for the pretty market town of Hay-on-Wye.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I must be right in saying,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03having worked with Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell and everyone,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- you must have worked with the Spice Girls.- I did, yeah,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08way, way back, when you were probably at primary school
0:16:08 > 0:16:10cos you're a lovely young 'un.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11What were some of the highlights,
0:16:11 > 0:16:14apart from working with the Spice Girls? Give me some names.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Take That.- Really?- Which was tremendous, really great times.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Wonderful!- But then, I also worked for very different artists
0:16:20 > 0:16:24that, for me, were true idols.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- People like Annie Lennox and the late David Bowie.- Mmm.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I looked after Prince, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Van Morrison.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Nicki may have worked with all the top names in the music business,
0:16:35 > 0:16:39selling records but, today, it's all about BUYING collectibles.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44Next stop, Hay Antique Market, home to over 20 dealers.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47There'll be plenty here for this pair to pore over.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50We need to find that one...
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I was going to say, "We need to find that one item."
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- We've found a mini bath. - In a way, is that quite cool?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- It's a hip bath. - Is that what it's called?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01It's for travelling so, obviously, it has the look
0:17:01 > 0:17:04of one of those stand-alone cast-iron baths, but...
0:17:04 > 0:17:06So, they'd have taken it with them on their travels?
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Yeah, that's for travelling. It's for a quick rinse, isn't it?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Of the delicate parts. How old is it?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15It's the late 19th century, 19th century idea.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18This one's probably 20th. You know, we're so lucky.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20We go to a hotel, we walk into a running shower.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22You're travelling, you go to an inn,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25there's not necessarily going to be a bath for just you.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- It might be a shared area. - It might be out the back.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30You take your hip bath, you go and get some warm water,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- you fill it up and you dip your hips.- You do. Or your maid does.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Definitely a job for the hired help, methinks.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42The hip bath's a possibility. Bit rusty. Anything else?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- That's fab on the wall! - Ha-ha, you love this, do you?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- That is beautiful!- I think that's quite fab. Is it silk?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Yes, it's raw silk, really nicely lined.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Probably relined. You can see the stitching here.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I think that someone's taken the time to reline it.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- How much is the asking price? - Mmm, £69.- £69.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- As you were walking towards it... - Yes.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05This is a bit far-fetched, but look here,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- at the back of this cabinet... - NICKI LAUGHS
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- ..is a fan.- We're creating a bit of role-play here, aren't we?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Can you see an auction lot?
0:18:14 > 0:18:20One vintage silk kimono of abstract design, together with wooden fan.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Ha, I'm a fan. The kimono's a hit,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27so time to call on dealer Jill to find out more about it.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32I think it's been handmade around the 1930s by a housewife...
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- You think as early as the '30s? - Yeah.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- So, you've got £69 on the kimono. - Yeah.- And £5 on the fan.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- How much would you be willing to let go of the two for?- For the two?
0:18:43 > 0:18:49- Um, £55.- What if we threw in the hip bath?- I could do that for £70.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52If you're having the three, I could do £120. That would be...
0:18:52 > 0:18:57- How about £110?- No, it would have to be £120, I'm afraid.- I like them.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- I think a punt. Yeah.- Take a risk? - Take a risk. Let's do it!- OK.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Jill, thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Their little jaunt into Wales sees the girls leave
0:19:07 > 0:19:10with the hip bath for £70
0:19:10 > 0:19:13and the kimono and wooden fan together for £50.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Meanwhile, yet to spend a penny - well, maybe not -
0:19:21 > 0:19:23the boys have motored to Ross-on-Wye.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26They've arrived at Elizabethan House Antiques.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30This 16th-century building has three floors full of everything,
0:19:30 > 0:19:31from pictures and prints
0:19:31 > 0:19:34to decorative items, antique furniture and the rest.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Hello, there.- Hello.- Nice to see you. I'm Jules.- I'm Maggie.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Hi, Philip. How are you?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Maggie, you've got a lot for us to explore here.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Do you want to go that way and I'll go that way?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- We should divide and conquer.- See you in a bit.- See you back here.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Right, boys, you have £400 to spend. Let the hunt begin.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57SHUTTER CLICKS
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Bellows. I know what Phil would do with those.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I dread to think! Moving on...
0:20:07 > 0:20:14That, if I'm not wrong, is an old door off a prison cell.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17What are the chances of finding something like that here?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19That's fabulous! And look at it.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21The important bit, the expensive bit - the lock -
0:20:21 > 0:20:24has obviously been removed, but the door itself,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28with all of its bolts and other metal fittings, is all there.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31That is fantastic. Let's feel the weight of it.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Crikey O'Reilly!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Yeah, that was definitely from a prison.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I might have to get Phil to help me with that.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Phil, you're needed. It's an emergency.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- I love that!- Yeah? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Are you thinking what I'm thinking? - It's an old prison door, isn't it?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- Yeah, exactly. - I'll tell you a little secret.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55I bought one of these on a Road Trip once for about 15 quid
0:20:55 > 0:21:00- and sold it for about £200.- Did you? - Yeah, but I was lucky.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I think we need to try and buy this for somewhere between...
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- 50 and 100?- No, 40 and 60. - 40 and 60?- Yeah.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Good cop, bad cop, but I think I've just become the bad cop, haven't I?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Yeah.- OK.- You're really bad!
0:21:13 > 0:21:15It's been said before.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18With a ticket price of £90 for the 19th-century prison door,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20the boys have asked Maggie to try and broker a deal
0:21:20 > 0:21:23with its vendor, who's probably still inside.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28He said he could possibly do it for £60.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30We can tweak it to £55. How's that?
0:21:30 > 0:21:35I think if you said yes, I think he'd just jump at that.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38To be honest with you, I don't think £60 in itself is bad, actually.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Ahhh... - JULES LAUGHS
0:21:40 > 0:21:43What ARE you doing? What are you doing, man?
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- But if it was £55...- I'm going with him.- ..he'd leave me alone.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I'll phone you back in a minute, all right?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52JULES AND MAGGIE LAUGH
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- No, I tell you what, we'll think about it at £60.- Yeah.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57There's a couple of other things it's worth having a look at.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Hang to it for us for five minutes all right?- Yeah.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I'm just going to go and beat him up in the corner!
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Come on!
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Haggling clearly isn't his forte
0:22:07 > 0:22:10but Jules has a keen eye for unusual items.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- What on Earth's that? - Well, according to the card,
0:22:13 > 0:22:17it says, "First World War officer's map torch."
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- I'm with the right bloke then.- I'd love to have a closer look at it.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Can we...?- I can go.- Can you, Maggie? Could you open that for us?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25That's great. Look at that! I've never seen one of these before.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29OK, boss, talk me through it cos you're the militaria man.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- There's "1917" written on it.- So, used in First World War trenches?
0:22:32 > 0:22:37- Yeah.- Is that not just a bit...? - Bulky?- Yeah.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38But think about it.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- Batteries, back in 1917, how big would they have been?- Bulky.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Yeah, really bulky.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Presumably, you unscrew that and they'd have gone in there somewhere.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51They've got 35 quid on it.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54I'm thinking, because we are in the midst
0:22:54 > 0:22:56of the centenary of the First World War,
0:22:56 > 0:23:00that could be quite attractive to the right kind of collector.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01I don't think that's bad money really.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I wish you wouldn't keep saying things like that. Stop it!
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I'm not saying we should pay that for it, I'm just saying...
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Let's just rehearse this one more time.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- LOUDLY:- The trouble is, it's the price, really.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Yes, it's the price, Phil. - It's the price, really.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- It's FAR too expensive. - Far too expensive.- Let's look again.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18They normally do a lot cheaper than this, normally, don't they?
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Normally. Oh, Lordy!
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Right, let's get serious, shall we?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25What can we do?
0:23:26 > 0:23:31I think the very, very, very best on that one would be £28.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35So, my maths is really lousy.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- So, what we're talking about, really, is...- 28 plus the door.
0:23:38 > 0:23:4028... So, we're talking 70 quid for the two, aren't we?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Is that maths right? - We are talking...
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- £70 for the two, isn't it? - JULES LAUGHS
0:23:45 > 0:23:51Nice try, Phil. It would actually be £88 total. Maggie?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53£75.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- I'm happy. - That'll do. Maggie, you're a star.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- £75 for the pair. - Thank you, my love.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Thank you very much indeed. The only question is, mate...
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I'll carry THIS out. How are you going to manage the door?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09With great difficulty, I imagine.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13A successful bit of shopping gets the boys the prison door for £50.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Wow! And the map torch for £25. Wow!
0:24:16 > 0:24:19And on that note, both teams bid farewell to the first day.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Nighty-night then.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22HE WHISTLES Wow!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29It's a new morning and Nicki and Jules are cruising the Morgan
0:24:29 > 0:24:31through rural Herefordshire.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- I feel this is the life from now on.- Oh!
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I think when we're escaping to the country,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- it needs to be in a classic car. - I've argued that for many years.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- For all these years, they've got it wrong.- Yeah.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44This is the way to do it,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46stopping off at a few antiques shops on the way.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49And what a lovely immediate way to experience the countryside,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52with the roof off, the air running round your hair...
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- And a very attractive driver by your side.- And a beautiful driver!
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- There you go! - I knew you were going to say it.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- I just thought I'd help you. - JULES LAUGHS
0:25:02 > 0:25:05So far, Jules and Phil have bought two items -
0:25:05 > 0:25:10the 19th-century prison door and the World War I officer's map torch -
0:25:10 > 0:25:15which means they still have £325 to spend today.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19While Nicki and Natasha have an impressive four lots -
0:25:19 > 0:25:22the vintage Bakelite hairdryer,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24the Austrian Art Nouveau vases,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27the early 20th-century hip bath
0:25:27 > 0:25:30and vintage kimono with wooden fan,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33leaving them with £198 to play with.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Natasha and Philip have also hit the road and are making their way
0:25:38 > 0:25:41to Ford bridge to meet their celebrity partners.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Tell me what Nicki's like. Is she nice?
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Is she really, really nice? - Is that a wee Spice Girls reference?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- That's the one thing I've got in there.- She is so cool.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53And what about Jules? Is it an old boys' club these days?
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Yeah, he's a nice guy. I think we're both local country boys at heart
0:25:57 > 0:25:59and I enjoyed his company.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I've still got some money left in my back pocket.
0:26:01 > 0:26:07I'm feeling confident today. Natasha and I are a good team.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09We've still got more buys to be had, I think.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I should say so. Girls v boys - bring it on!
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- NATASHA:- Good morning!- Hello! - Nicely, look.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I'd get out the way, if I was you.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21She hasn't found the brakes yet!
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- I have a problem with first, that's the truth.- NATASHA:- Wonderful.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- NATASHA:- Good morning. - JULES:- How are you?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- NATASHA:- Very well. - JULES:- Mwah, mwah.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Hello.- How are you?- I'm very good.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Am I allowed to fraternise with the enemy?- You can.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Please do, please do.- He's gorgeous, though.- Oh, shut up!- He's gorgeous.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- So are you, love.- How are we? - NATASHA:- Good.- Mwah.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Oh, wait a minute, Nicki.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44They're going to set off. They're getting in the car first.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- You're driving.- Right, OK.- Oh... - Boys, let me have a head start.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- I won't be able to find first in this, either!- Oh, no, go.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- ENGINE REVS - Look at the sound of THAT!
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- No, stop, stop! - Oh, you rotters! You rotters!
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- NATASHA:- We'll see you there. - JULES:- Catch us if you can.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Let's see how I get on, shall we? - There she goes.- I'm behind you!
0:27:03 > 0:27:08Oh, look at them, cosying up. Arm behind the headrest.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Look at them! They're buddies, aren't they?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14This morning, our two teams are hurtling
0:27:14 > 0:27:17towards the heart of Herefordshire and Leominster,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19to start the day's buy.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- They're going to be there too, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24So, we don't want to give the game away
0:27:24 > 0:27:25as to what we are thinking about.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29No, but they'll be at the make-up counter, you know, doing lippie.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31And we'll be amongst the boys' toys, no doubt.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33No, we'll be there with them, putting lippie,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35a bit of slap make-up, you know.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38It was good fun yesterday,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41but today's going to be equally exciting.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42And we don't have much to buy now.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Looks like the boys are first to arrive. Stand by.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Whoa, lovely! Thank you, mate.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Did they get here before us?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- Oh, they did! Oh, no!- Oh, no!
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- JULES:- Here they come! Ha-ha, come on, Phil!
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- NATASHA:- You're so bad!- Damn you!
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- JULES:- Let's go, let's go.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Do we need to rush in or shall we let them think
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- they've got first dibs? - Yeah, let's pretend.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- We'll just breathe in.- Ready?
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- Cool and calm.- Go.- Here we go.- Yeah. - We're not in a hurry...
0:28:18 > 0:28:19THEY LAUGH
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Let us in!
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- LAUGHTER - No! That's not...
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- Let us in!- We've cleared it out.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29There'll be blood everywhere if you don't let us in!
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- NATASHA:- This is like the Brownies and Scouts. You're terrible.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33- JULES:- After you, ladies.- Thank you.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36You can have first dibs, go on. Off you go.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Ah, they're gents really.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41And there's lots of antiques on offer,
0:28:41 > 0:28:43so no need for squabbling, eh.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- We need to find something completely weird.- Something weird.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Look how beautiful everything is.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50We need to find something weird that has the edge.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55- Ah-ha! It smells a bit fishy.- That's weird!- What is it?- Is that a mask?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- It's not! - I think it is a mask, look.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Ooh, imagine the smell inside!
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Guys, I've got someone here who'd like to meet you.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05THEY LAUGH
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- I can smell something fishy! - JULES:- It's Crocodile Chapman.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- NATASHA:- Is that not amazing?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- JULES:- That's good fun. - That's horrid.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16But isn't it brilliant? Go on, just for me, Phil. Just for me, go on.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- Just for you?- Yeah, go on.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Give me your glasses. That's it.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- ALL: Hey! NATASHA:- He is a pike.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25THEY LAUGH Holy mackerel!
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- There's one problem.- Go on. - I've got my bloody ears stuck!
0:29:27 > 0:29:29THEY LAUGH
0:29:29 > 0:29:30- It's a tight fit.- Yeah.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- You'll just have to wear it all day. - What?- Shall we just leave them?
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- OK, nice to see you. Bye, come on. - It's nearly £300 that. Be careful.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40It's going to hurt you more than me. Argh.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42JULES LAUGHS
0:29:42 > 0:29:47- Oh, ding-dong!- 285 quid?! - What about my ear?
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Well, if you will play silly beggars!
0:29:50 > 0:29:53While Phil's busy feeling sorry for himself and his ear,
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Nicki's spied something she likes.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- I love this. Can I put it on? - That is cool.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- That's- beautiful, isn't it?- If you'd turned up this morning wearing that,
0:30:02 > 0:30:08- I'd be saying, "How chic." - Now, £78.- 1972.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10- It's so '70s, isn't it?- It is.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- Beautiful.- It's so smart. Now, it says silver.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Do we have any marks on it? This is a London mark,
0:30:14 > 0:30:16so is it the London look? It's 1972.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19That is smart. What do you think? We've not been everywhere.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Shall we hop upstairs, keep that in our hands,
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- and then go and visit Ben at the counter?- Yeah.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Ah, yeah. Now, how are the boys getting on?
0:30:27 > 0:30:32- I like these.- These little benches? - Yeah. They're French.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Nice, actually. Yeah. Fairly sturdy, aren't they?
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- How much is the price then? - Let's have a look.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- It's at the other end.- Is it? - JULES LAUGHS
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- Pull straight through the... - Ooh, hello.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Let's not trash the rest of it. There we are, mate. Is it...? Ooh.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52£225. Hmm.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Well, you see, in auction, they're going to make 100 to 150, I think.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- Yeah?- Yeah, but I like them. Do you like them?- I do like them, actually.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04I'll be honest, I would happily put those in my own house, actually.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- OK.- Yeah. If we could get those for the right money.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09They've got to be 80 to 100 quid, really.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12That's quite a big drop though, from 225. Do you think they'd do that?
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Don't know. Depends what they bought them for.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17As the boys consider the benches,
0:31:17 > 0:31:20on the other side of the shop, Nicki's on a roll.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- This is cute.- Do you know what? I hope when you open the drawer...
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Yes, it's wee tiny samples.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29So, these are for collectors of specimens.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- You could use it now for jewellery. - Yes.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33You could use of for a million different things.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36And for some reason, Nicki - and I actually have no idea why -
0:31:36 > 0:31:39these sort of mid 20th-century collectors or specimen cabinets
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- have become really cool.- Have they?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Yeah, and look at that price. Do you know what I would expect?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- A "1" in front of that. That's in at 65.- At auction?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Well, at auction, I think it's a good 40 to 60.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- So that has potential for us. - For sure, that has potential.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Another possibility. Anything else, girls?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- Trendy.- Yeah, I like that, actually.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Totally trendy, hat stands, for some reason.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06We've been talking about it, we've said it a million times,
0:32:06 > 0:32:09but in London, you're fighting for space when you've got your flat,
0:32:09 > 0:32:13so what a cool way to hang up all your coats and hats and everything.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16You could see that in a restaurant, couldn't you?
0:32:16 > 0:32:20That is cool, but I think they'd be willing to let it go
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- for not too much.- Yeah, I wouldn't want to be spending £85 on that.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25- Absolutely not.- As lovely as it is.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Back with the boys, Jules has spotted
0:32:27 > 0:32:30a rather nice enamelled sign. As you do.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34I could see that going into a refurbished kitchen
0:32:34 > 0:32:38or a little chichi London coffee shop, maybe.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42It's quite cool. One of the things about those
0:32:42 > 0:32:45is that there are so many enamel signs over the years
0:32:45 > 0:32:49that farmers' sons have used for airgun practice
0:32:49 > 0:32:52or they're blocking up a hole in the garden shed roof...
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- Yeah.- Actually, it's not too battered, is it?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Not at all and, in fact, it's still got the enamel on the back.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01So, that's 235. These are 225. That's 460 quid.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06- That's more than we started with! - Yeah. Not boding well. OK.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10So, now then, I am clearly going to leave the negotiation to you, mate,
0:33:10 > 0:33:14because we're looking to drop quite a bit on both of these, aren't we?
0:33:14 > 0:33:16What I'm going to ask you to do is sit in the chair, say nothing.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- Right.- Promise me?- Promise. - Right, sit down.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21JULES LAUGHS
0:33:21 > 0:33:23I'll be back.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27Meanwhile, Nicki and Natasha have located dealer Ben to talk money.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Look out, Ben.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34- So, the specimen drawer and the hat stand together comes to...- £150.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Where does £100 sound for the two? - Bit high.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Well, it is a bit high cos I've still got my eye on something else.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- What were you thinking?- 40 quid.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- It's a good deal.- And then £100 for the two upstairs?
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- It's a bit scary for me. I don't like three figures.- Oh, I see.
0:33:54 > 0:33:59- To get down to the two figures, we'll go £99.- £95.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02We're taking two pieces and then this for £40.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- OK.- Yeah?- Yeah.- Is it a deal? Thank you so much!- Well done.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Well done, partner.- Ben.- I think we should all shake hands.- Yes.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- Yay!- It's like a ceilidh!
0:34:13 > 0:34:15No wonder they're dancing,
0:34:15 > 0:34:20as they've just bagged the vintage brass coat stand and specimen chest
0:34:20 > 0:34:24for £95 and a modernist silver cuff for £40.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28As the girls pay up and make a quick getaway,
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Phil's gearing up to do a deal with Andrew on the benches and the sign.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36The combined ticket price is £460.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Now...Jules and I quite like...
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- ..what we're sitting on.- Oh, right. - These benches.- Mmm.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45And we also like the coffee sign.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49And we were thinking that we've got to get...
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- This is the point where I... - Be gentle.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53I'm really glad you're sitting down.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56See, I was thinking that we'd like to try and buy the two
0:34:56 > 0:34:59for, like, 180.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01It's down to what you've bought them for, isn't it?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- At the end of the day, yes.- You can either do a deal or you can't.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06I think it's a bit TOO friendly, actually.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07OK, what could you do then?
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- 180, you wanted them for?- Yeah, that's the benches and the sign.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15I'll get close. I'll do 200.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19But there's no, "I'll go and have a think about it."
0:35:19 > 0:35:22No, we'll make our mind up now and give you 190 quid for the three.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- £195.- £195 - you're a gentleman, thank you very much.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- JULES LAUGHS - Can I talk now?- Yeah, go on.- Yay!
0:35:29 > 0:35:32That incredible discount means the boys have bought
0:35:32 > 0:35:37the benches for £95 and the enamelled sign for £100.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Natasha and Nicki have finished their shopping
0:35:43 > 0:35:46and have headed to Kington.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Now, if I was to say "Clogs",
0:35:48 > 0:35:51you're more likely to think of Holland than Herefordshire.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54But here, in this picturesque village,
0:35:54 > 0:35:58resides the sole remaining hand carver of clogs in England.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Nicki and Natasha have come to meet the man himself,
0:36:01 > 0:36:04master craftsman Jeremy Atkinson,
0:36:04 > 0:36:07to find out about what was once a thriving industry
0:36:07 > 0:36:09right here, in the UK.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Lovely to meet you, Jeremy.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14When you think of British footwear,
0:36:14 > 0:36:17you don't necessarily think of clogs, do you?
0:36:17 > 0:36:18You think of them more being in Europe,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20but that's obviously not the case.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23No, they were probably worn just as much in Britain, actually.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26When I think of a clog, I think of the wooden touristy affair.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- Is that a purist definition? - Not quite, no.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33The British version was always a mixture of leather and wood.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- Beautiful.- It looks so elegant. If you go back in history,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38what type of person would have been wearing a shoe like that?
0:36:38 > 0:36:42- Workers or landed gentry? - It's more by area.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Wales, Scotland, Lake District. It seemed to be very regional.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50- A lot of it comes down to soil type. - Go on, explain.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Well, if you've got a thin soil,
0:36:52 > 0:36:55they don't clog up cos the peaty soil's too light to clog up.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Now, "clog up" comes from clogs picking up mud
0:36:58 > 0:36:59and getting ever higher.
0:36:59 > 0:37:05Because the sole doesn't bend as you walk, it just, it picks up divots
0:37:05 > 0:37:08and they just get higher and higher and then you have to kick them off.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Ah, so that's where the phrase comes from, "clogging up"?- Yeah.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16It was during the Industrial Revolution
0:37:16 > 0:37:18that the wearing of clogs really took off in Britain,
0:37:18 > 0:37:22with workers in the mills, mines, workshops and factories
0:37:22 > 0:37:25requiring strong, cheap footwear.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30So, people wearing clogs every day and also using them for industry,
0:37:30 > 0:37:34how would the cost have compared, say, a clog to a boot?
0:37:34 > 0:37:37A leather boot would have been about a week and a half wages
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- and a clog was a day and a half. - Oh, wow.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41That's a lot of difference, isn't it?
0:37:41 > 0:37:45Clog dancing can be traced back to the Middle Ages,
0:37:45 > 0:37:46but the dance as we know it today
0:37:46 > 0:37:49took shape during the Industrial Revolution.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Initially started to alleviate boredom
0:37:51 > 0:37:56and warm up in the cold, industrial towns, its popularity grew
0:37:56 > 0:37:59and the World Clog Dancing Championships
0:37:59 > 0:38:01began back in the 1880s.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05When do you think people stopped wearing clogs, mass scale,
0:38:05 > 0:38:10- in the UK?- It petered out in the '50s.- Did it? It went to the 1950s?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Oh, yeah, because in the Second World War,
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- you didn't need coupons for them. - What's the timeframe?
0:38:14 > 0:38:18How long would it take to create a clog just like this?
0:38:18 > 0:38:22About eight to ten hours for something as simple as this.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27Keen to see Jeremy in action, he's going to show Nicki and Natasha
0:38:27 > 0:38:30what it takes to carve a clog from scratch.
0:38:32 > 0:38:38- Come on, Jeremy.- There we go. - Here it comes.- And I should...
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- ..be able to cleave it out. - How good was that?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46It's so physical.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51So...
0:38:53 > 0:38:56That's incredible. You really can see it taking shape.
0:38:56 > 0:39:02So, that's fairly broad pattern. It's been blocked out.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Jeremy, thank you so much. It's fascinating, the whole process.
0:39:05 > 0:39:06Just to see the first stage of it,
0:39:06 > 0:39:09and let's hope these skills continue for future generations.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- Thanks.- Bye-bye.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- How unbelievable was that?- Amazing!
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Can you imagine just walking past here? Look at him. What an artisan.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- Tour de force. The Clog Man. - The Clog Man.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Back with the boys, and they've left Herefordshire
0:39:30 > 0:39:33and made their way to Burford in Oxfordshire.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Considered the southern gateway to the Cotswolds,
0:39:38 > 0:39:42this beautiful old town is home to the chaps' final stop.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- This is nice, Phil! Look at that!- It is, isn't it?
0:39:44 > 0:39:46A country house thrown in.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Now, I might need a team of surgeons to help me get out of this thing.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Dear me!
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Come on, mate, come on.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- Last visit. There you are, sir. - Argh!
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- That's my knee knackered! - JULES LAUGHS
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Unhand him. Just as well it's your last shop then.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- Hi, how are you?- Hi.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10- Philip.- Adrian.- Good to see.- Jules. Very nice to see you.- And you.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Let me just tell you, this shop looks like seventh heaven to us
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- and we'd like to buy one or two items?- Yeah. See how we get on.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20But from this moment on, I'm not going to say another word.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21So the dealing's left to me.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25- The dealing's left to me then. - Great.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27I'll do my best to take all your money, Jules.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- You probably will. - PHILIP GASPS
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Phil, trust me, it's going to be all right.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Right, you've got £130 left to spend. Off you pop.
0:40:42 > 0:40:48Look at that! I have always fancied one of those. A genuine safe.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Ooh, mind you... Bit more money than we've probably got.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Just a tad.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57Let's get Phil over.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- Look at this, mate.- Oh, I saw that!
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- You've got a good eye.- Yeah. - I love that.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05T Withers & Sons of West Bromwich.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- IN BRUMMIE ACCENT:- West Bromwich, don't you know.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11I would be trying to buy that for somewhere between 50 and 80 quid,
0:41:11 > 0:41:13so there's your challenge there.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17You've got no chance of matching me, not a chance.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19All right, I'm just laying down the law here.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21You can stop talking now.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26You can absolutely, you can absolutely stop talking now, mate.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- Oh.- Off you go.- Oh...- Ah!
0:41:31 > 0:41:35Serrell silenced? Well, there's a first!
0:41:35 > 0:41:37The ticket says £225.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Has Jules learned enough to get a good deal
0:41:40 > 0:41:43on the late 19th-century safe? Stand by.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Realistically, I think it needs to be
0:41:45 > 0:41:50- somewhere round the sort of 40 to 50 quid mark.- Ooh.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Yeah, I've dived straight in with a pretty tough offer.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58- Ooh, that was harsh.- That hurt. - Ooph! Um...do you know what?
0:41:58 > 0:42:00We're not a million miles away.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03That's one of those items that I bought at the right money.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07What about if I met you somewhere close to where you want to be? £65.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11What if we split the difference at 55?
0:42:11 > 0:42:1360 and you've got a deal.
0:42:14 > 0:42:1960 quid on the safe, Phil, yeah? Done, sir. Lovely.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Now, that leaves us, I think -
0:42:21 > 0:42:23if I've finally got my sums right - with £70.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27Anything in here that you would be happy to let go
0:42:27 > 0:42:30for that sort of money, bearing in mind
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- I do need to turn some sort of profit on this?- OK.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- Yeah, I've got something in mind, actually.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- Come on then, show me.- What about something like this lamp, Jules?
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- It's upcycled.- Old fire extinguisher?- A garden sprayer.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44- A garden sprayer!- Yeah.- I love it.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- And you've sort of burnished it up and mounted a lamp on it.- Yeah.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- He's got no chance of buying that for that money.- Is it certified?
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Yes, it's been properly done and tested.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58- No way is he buying that for £70. Not a chance.- Ooh, £165.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00- He's never going to buy... - Will you shush?!- Sorry.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05But as I said to you, I bought it right cos in rough condition,
0:43:05 > 0:43:08it was a relatively cheap item and I think, at a squeeze,
0:43:08 > 0:43:10- I'll let it go for £70. - So, the whole lot...
0:43:10 > 0:43:12He's bought it.
0:43:12 > 0:43:18- The safe and that for £130? - Yeah, that's your budget done.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20You may speak now, if you wish, sir.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24JULES LAUGHS
0:43:24 > 0:43:27I think, actually, he's genuinely lost for words.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30Trust me, that never happens!
0:43:31 > 0:43:33Two very generous discounts though
0:43:33 > 0:43:36secures the boys' final two lots for auction. Hurrah!
0:43:36 > 0:43:40With both teams all spent, time for a spot of show and tell.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42- Philip, you're poking out!- What?
0:43:42 > 0:43:44LAUGHTER
0:43:44 > 0:43:47- I wonder what one of the things are that they've bought.- We, um...
0:43:47 > 0:43:48Go on then, you reveal first.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50- Are you ready?- Ooh! - JULES:- Look at that!
0:43:50 > 0:43:53- Oh, my word! - Is that a prisoner door?
0:43:53 > 0:43:56- JULES:- That is a prison door. And last but not least, how about this?
0:43:56 > 0:43:58Are you ready?
0:43:58 > 0:44:00- GIRLS: A safe! - Is that a spraying machine?
0:44:00 > 0:44:02It's a garden sprayer, converted into a table lamp.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06- Is this yours as well?- There's two benches.- Two French benches.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09- NATASHA:- How much have you spent? - Every last penny.- JULES:- Every cent.
0:44:09 > 0:44:13- Have you?- Yeah, every penny.- Can I just say, you're so predictable.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16Boys v girls and how macho have you gone? How macho?
0:44:16 > 0:44:19"We've spent every penny. We bought a prison door."
0:44:19 > 0:44:22- Come on, girls, then.- It's all about the size in that corner.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26- It's all about the size.- What does that tell us? I won't go there.
0:44:26 > 0:44:30Enough of the boys' bulky buys, girls, it's your turn.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32Fine things, gentlemen.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34- JULES:- Ooh, elegant. - NATASHA:- Yes, elegance indeed.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36- JULES:- Ooh, very elegant. Look at the fan!
0:44:36 > 0:44:39- NATASHA:- Jules, how's your hair? You want to borrow our hairdryer?
0:44:39 > 0:44:41LAUGHTER
0:44:41 > 0:44:46- Have you tried that out?- It works. So, we have our stand here.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48- JULES:- Yeah, that's nice. - Sample drawers.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51- Ooh, love that.- That is lovely.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53It would make a great jewellery box, wouldn't it?
0:44:53 > 0:44:55- It's beautiful, isn't it? - How much for the kimono?
0:44:55 > 0:44:59- And the fan. £50.- £50. There we are. Cheap outfit.- Yeah.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02- I love the bath though. - JULES:- I love that!
0:45:02 > 0:45:04- We have...- Played safe.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07Oh! I think, on that kind of lousy joke,
0:45:07 > 0:45:09- we should get out of here, Nicki. - Yeah.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12Think about what you've done, you two.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16Bad jokes aside, what do they really make of each other's lots?
0:45:16 > 0:45:18I know they're girlies,
0:45:18 > 0:45:21- but they have bought girly stuff, haven't they?- It wouldn't be for me.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24I'm not too sure about Dame Edna's dressing gown.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26JULES LAUGHS
0:45:26 > 0:45:30I looked at theirs and I loved the lamp, that unusual lamp.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33- It's so cool, so Philip. - Beautiful, beautiful.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35And those benches, but I wouldn't have picked those.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38- I'm happy with everything, Natasha. - I'm so pleased.
0:45:38 > 0:45:39I'm really pleased with them.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42I stood there and was looking at them and at your face as well
0:45:42 > 0:45:43and I thought, "We're proud of this."
0:45:43 > 0:45:45- Yeah.- I think we've done well.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47Hey, famous last words?
0:45:47 > 0:45:51After starting in way back Wormsley in Herefordshire,
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Nicki and Jules are now hurtling towards auction
0:45:53 > 0:45:56in North Finchley in London.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59Jules, how many auctions have you been to in your lifetime?
0:45:59 > 0:46:02- I've gone to quite a few actually. - Have you?- They are rather addictive.
0:46:02 > 0:46:03Once you get the bug, it's hard to let go.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05You have the old right hand syndrome, do you?
0:46:05 > 0:46:08- I tend to sit on them if I can. - Do you?- It's cheaper that way.
0:46:08 > 0:46:13Remember, no bidding for YOU today. You're selling, sir.
0:46:13 > 0:46:17Natasha and Philip have already arrived at NL Auction Rooms
0:46:17 > 0:46:19and are waiting for the celebrity partners.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21- Oh, there they are!- Oh, ha-ha.
0:46:21 > 0:46:25- JULES:- How are you?- Hello! - No time for pleasantries.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28- NATASHA:- Out of the wind and the rain to Profitland.- I know.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30You've mastered getting out of that thing!
0:46:30 > 0:46:32- We are so looking forward to this. - Come in.- Hello.
0:46:32 > 0:46:36Get in. Come on, it's started.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40Let's remind ourselves of the purchases.
0:46:40 > 0:46:44Nicki and Natasha spent £337 on six lots.
0:46:45 > 0:46:46The chaps also bought six lots,
0:46:46 > 0:46:51spending each and every penny of their £400 budget.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55Today's auction has buyers both online and in the room
0:46:55 > 0:46:57and the man with the gavel is David Palmer.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59What does he make of our teams' lots?
0:47:01 > 0:47:03The selection today is surprisingly good, I think.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05They're proper things that they've found.
0:47:05 > 0:47:10The last item is the one that I'd buy, the lamp base. That's good.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13My wife would accept that as something to bring home
0:47:13 > 0:47:14and have in the house.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17The piece that I cannot comprehend why anyone would buy it
0:47:17 > 0:47:19is that kimono. Why? Why did they buy it?
0:47:19 > 0:47:21You were there. Why did they do it?
0:47:21 > 0:47:23Don't blame ME, David!
0:47:23 > 0:47:27Fingers and toes are crossed the buyers will love it.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29Our teams have taken their seats.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32Who will be victorious, the girls or the boys?
0:47:33 > 0:47:34Time to find out.
0:47:34 > 0:47:38The girls are up first with their vintage Bakelite hairdryer.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41Fully tried and tested. So which one of you tried and tested it then?
0:47:41 > 0:47:45It works, I promise you it works. And it gets very hot.
0:47:45 > 0:47:47It comes with a provenance.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50She's off, she's off!
0:47:50 > 0:47:54You did a very fine job. Just the ones at the back haven't seen...
0:47:54 > 0:47:56There's a gentleman I know is very keen at the back.
0:47:56 > 0:48:00- The bald gentleman!- Thank you, sir. I will sit down now.
0:48:00 > 0:48:04- She's just shown it to a bald bloke! - I think I'd better give up!
0:48:04 > 0:48:06- LAUGHTER - Right, there we are then.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08You've seen it, handled by the lady there.
0:48:08 > 0:48:1120 quid. 10. So cheap.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13At 10, I sell here at 10. Take a 2 now.
0:48:13 > 0:48:1510. 12. 15. 18.
0:48:15 > 0:48:16- 20's bid now.- 22?
0:48:16 > 0:48:1922. I tell you what, gents. If you want to bid on this,
0:48:19 > 0:48:22I'll throw the lady in blue in with it as well.
0:48:22 > 0:48:26- It's a deal! You'll get a kiss. - JULES LAUGHS
0:48:26 > 0:48:28Can someone lend me some money, please?
0:48:28 > 0:48:30- LAUGHTER - You can have a kiss too.
0:48:30 > 0:48:3222. The bid is over here at 22.
0:48:32 > 0:48:36- I'm selling then at £22. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:48:36 > 0:48:38- NATASHA:- Nicki!- JULES:- Oh!
0:48:38 > 0:48:41Despite the tempting offer of a smacker from Nicki,
0:48:41 > 0:48:43the hairdryer makes a loss.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46- Get that smile off your face! - JULES LAUGHS
0:48:47 > 0:48:50It's a little soon to be so smug, Jules.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53Look out, here comes your 19th-century prison door.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55£20 for it then. 20 I'm bid.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57- PHILIP:- Oh, my life.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59And 2? 22. 25. 28.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Over here at 28. 30. 5. 40.
0:49:01 > 0:49:0440. Madam, 45? At 40. It's with the gentleman at £40.
0:49:04 > 0:49:07It's got to be 50 quid at least, surely!
0:49:07 > 0:49:10- Well, it was when WE bought it. - LAUGHTER
0:49:10 > 0:49:13- I will sell back there at £40. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:49:13 > 0:49:17It's a tough crowd today. That's a loss apiece.
0:49:17 > 0:49:18I know we're two teams against one another,
0:49:18 > 0:49:20but seeing as we're all making losses,
0:49:20 > 0:49:23- can we all just be in it together from now on?- ALL: Yeah!
0:49:23 > 0:49:28Let's see if Nicki's Austrian Art Nouveau vases fare a bit better.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30Start at 20. Anyone, 20?
0:49:30 > 0:49:33- 20 I'm bid. - I like that lady.- 22 now?
0:49:33 > 0:49:35Goes then at 20.
0:49:35 > 0:49:36All done at 20.
0:49:36 > 0:49:39- Finishing at 20. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:49:40 > 0:49:42Come on, come on.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45Oh, dear. Not the result they were hoping for.
0:49:45 > 0:49:47I would have taken everything we bought home with me.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50- You might have to! - Well, I wouldn't mind.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52Unfortunately, you can't buy your own lot.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55So, let's hope someone else does,
0:49:55 > 0:49:59as your World War I officer's map torch is up next.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02- £20 for it.- Come on, take home a bit of history!- 20 here. 22 behind you.
0:50:02 > 0:50:0525, madam? 25. 28? 28. 30.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08- Profit!- This is uncharted territory! - Profit!
0:50:08 > 0:50:11Now go 30. At 28. With him at 28.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13I sell with him at £28.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15He's not a relative of yours, is he?
0:50:15 > 0:50:18- At 28, I'm selling now. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:50:18 > 0:50:20- We're not lucky charms, are we, today?- No.
0:50:20 > 0:50:24First profit of the day though, albeit a small one.
0:50:24 > 0:50:27You know, it's a shame, but somebody's taking home
0:50:27 > 0:50:30something that's really fascinating and genuinely unusual.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34Jules' find is next to go. His big enamelled sign.
0:50:34 > 0:50:36The net's bid 20. Take a 2 in the room. Goes at 20.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39- 22. 30 on the net. - Ooh, it's exciting.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42- It's all over the place. - 40, room.- Ooh, ooh, ooh.
0:50:42 > 0:50:43- Go, go!- Internet, you're out.
0:50:43 > 0:50:47- 45. 50, madam? 50 to the lady. - Yes! This is good.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50- Sold to the lady here at £50. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:50:50 > 0:50:54- Oh! Cheap at half the price. - It WAS half the price!
0:50:54 > 0:50:58London does not love our teams today. Bad luck.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01My glass is always half full.
0:51:01 > 0:51:05You may need that positive energy, Nicki,
0:51:05 > 0:51:07as it's your lot the auctioneer dismissed -
0:51:07 > 0:51:09the vintage kimono and wooden fan.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11- Off you go. - Show us what you're made of, girl.
0:51:11 > 0:51:15- AUCTIONEER:- Lot 86.- JULES:- Look at this! Bit of glamour in the room.
0:51:15 > 0:51:20Lady's raw silk Japanese kimono showing now. And the fan.
0:51:20 > 0:51:23- Brilliant.- NATASHA:- Nicki is rocking the kimono.- Can you all see?
0:51:23 > 0:51:25There's the kimono, OK, being nicely modelled.
0:51:25 > 0:51:28There must be a price for me just modelling it, mustn't there?
0:51:28 > 0:51:33- OK, a tenner then.- A tenner?! - Anyone, £10?- JULES:- 10 quid?!
0:51:33 > 0:51:34You get the hanger as well. 10 I'm bid over there.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37At 10. Take 2. Goes then at 10.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40- It's silk! - With the fan, with the fan!
0:51:40 > 0:51:4215 on the net. The net at 15. 18.
0:51:42 > 0:51:4420 in the room. I'll take you at 20.
0:51:44 > 0:51:4722? 22 at the back. 25 now? 25.
0:51:47 > 0:51:49It's been worn by a famous person!
0:51:49 > 0:51:5130 on the net.
0:51:51 > 0:51:5332. At 32.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55This side at 32.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57Net, are you in at 35? 35.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59It must be worth at least 40 for that.
0:51:59 > 0:52:00Come on, get back over here.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03- At £35. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:52:03 > 0:52:05- I think she's been sold with it! - Thank you.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08Hey, I hope that Nicki would be worth more than THAT!

0:53:12 > 0:53:14- You live, you learn. - JULES:- We've learnt a lot today.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18The boys' late 19th-century safe is up next.

0:53:42 > 0:53:45We bought the right stuff. We're selling it on the wrong day.
0:53:45 > 0:53:51Surely the girls' modernist silver cuff will pull in a profit.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53Come in at 10 for it. £10.
0:53:53 > 0:53:55A very decorative piece. Anyone, 10?

0:54:37 > 0:54:40- it's been the exact opposite. - Yeah, totally.
0:54:41 > 0:54:44Can our girls finish up on a profit, I wonder?

0:55:06 > 0:55:08£40 is all right if we hadn't paid £70 for it,
0:55:08 > 0:55:10but it's still all right.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12Oh, dear. Well, you can't win them all.
0:55:12 > 0:55:16Or ANY of them, it would seem, girls.
0:55:16 > 0:55:20- Whatever it went for, it's still a lovely thing.- It IS a lovely thing.

0:55:48 > 0:55:50- Done at 50... - 52. >

0:55:58 > 0:56:01I'll take it. It's an upward bid. 53.
0:56:01 > 0:56:05- They're heckling the auctioneer. - Don't be outbid by a mere pound.

0:56:27 > 0:56:30- Shall we slink out through the door? - Yeah, come on.- Come on.- Yep.
0:56:30 > 0:56:35- Hilarious, hilarious. Well done.- I'm going to hold my head down in shame.
0:56:35 > 0:56:37It was a tough room, Nicki.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39After beginning with £400, sadly,
0:56:39 > 0:56:44the girls made a loss of £190.22, after paying auction costs.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46Dreadful.
0:56:46 > 0:56:51Which means they end their Road Trip with £209.78.
0:56:51 > 0:56:54The boys also kicked off with £400
0:56:54 > 0:56:56and, unfortunately, they, too, made a loss,
0:56:56 > 0:57:02losing £126.94, after auction costs.
0:57:02 > 0:57:06So, as their loss is less, so to speak,
0:57:06 > 0:57:11they're today's winners - got it? - finishing with £273.06.
0:57:11 > 0:57:14And, just like that, the journey has come to an end.
0:57:14 > 0:57:17Gosh, I thought they deserved better, didn't you?
0:57:17 > 0:57:20- You two have been such good fun. - We have loved it! Thank you.
0:57:20 > 0:57:23- Phil, you taught me a lot, mate. - Cheers, my love.
0:57:23 > 0:57:26We have absolutely loved it and I think we've learnt a lot as well.
0:57:26 > 0:57:29- I hope so.- Yeah.- You learned how to lose money!
0:57:29 > 0:57:32- Thank you, Tash. - What we have learnt -
0:57:32 > 0:57:34never underestimate an auction.
0:57:34 > 0:57:36- Right, it's going to start to rain. - JULES:- Let's go.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39- You're still my antique panther. - Rrr!
0:57:43 > 0:57:44- Take care.- Cheers, guys.
0:57:44 > 0:57:46- Bye.- Bye-bye.
0:57:46 > 0:57:51Come on, Nicki. If I can find the gear, I'll buy you lunch.
0:57:51 > 0:57:53Thanks, guys. Bye! Bye!
0:57:56 > 0:57:59- What an amazing few days it's been. - It hasn't been long enough for me.
0:57:59 > 0:58:01I absolutely loved it.
0:58:01 > 0:58:03I certainly think I've got a bit more insight,
0:58:03 > 0:58:06learning from the master. Gosh, he drives a hard bargain.
0:58:06 > 0:58:08I shall never walk into an antiquerie again
0:58:08 > 0:58:10without him whispering in my ear.
0:58:10 > 0:58:14Well, the antique panther herself, Natasha, did a splendid job with me.
0:58:14 > 0:58:16I've still got a lot to learn.
0:58:16 > 0:58:20But, rest assured, I've now got a real taste for it.
0:58:20 > 0:58:21I've learnt some lessons today
0:58:21 > 0:58:24but I've come out with a smile on my face.
0:58:24 > 0:58:27Now, that's what we like to hear. What a trooper!
0:58:27 > 0:58:29Fare thee well, Road Trippers.
