0:00:14 > 0:00:15- Yes!- Fantastic.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17I'll do that in slow-mo.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Come on, boys.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22But it's no easy ride.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32Will anybody follow expert advice?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34I'm trying to spend money here.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Jimmy Osmond and Tony Christie.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So you've recorded a million things.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Obviously Road To Amarillo is the big one, right?- Yeah.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13I'm Long Haired Lover, I'd rather have yours.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Can we switch?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I mean, I enjoy singing Amarillo.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20As soon as I start it, everyone starts singing with me.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Oh, hello.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- # Sha la la la la la la la... # - Oh, no.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Today's, well, tuneful experts are auctioneer Catherine Southon
0:01:28 > 0:01:31and dealer Margie Cooper.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33# And sweet Marie who waits for me. #
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Just so they don't sing Long Haired Lover From Liverpool,
0:01:36 > 0:01:37we're all good.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39# I'll be your long haired lover from Liverpool... #
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Whoops!
0:01:41 > 0:01:42# And I do anything you say... #
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Oh, I like it, Margie!
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Back in the '70s, Margie was a hot-to-trot model, you know.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55And Catherine? Well, she was winning bonnie baby competitions.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Oh, what a cutie.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Jimmy and Tony have the very grand 1989 Bentley 8
0:02:01 > 0:02:03to parade around the country.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- So how do you like this car, huh, Bentley?- It's great.- Pretty posh.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11It's great. Takes me back to the '70s when I used to have a Rolls.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Very nice, Tony.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15MUSIC: (Is This The Way To) Amarillo by Tony Christie

0:02:48 > 0:02:52# I'll be your long-haired lover from Liverpool

0:02:58 > 0:03:01They each have a bag of money totalling £400,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03and it looks like Jimmy wants to win.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06We're not on a team, we're competitors.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Yeah, we're enemies.- We're enemies. - But not yet.- Not yet.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- We're friendly enemies. - Yes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15You'd better watch him, Jimmy.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Catherine and Margie are bobbing about town and dale
0:03:19 > 0:03:21in the rare 1981 DeLorean,
0:03:21 > 0:03:26best known as the time machine in the Back To The Future trilogy.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30But we've got wings, haven't we? We could fly in this.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Er, I don't think so, Catherine.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Our trip begins in the Leicestershire town of Loughborough.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Moving northwards to the city of Nottingham,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43charging west through Shropshire
0:03:43 > 0:03:44and finally auctioning
0:03:44 > 0:03:46in the Staffordshire city of Stoke-on-Trent.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Celebrities waiting, where are those girls?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53There they are. About time too.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56This should be fun. I like adventures like this, don't you?
0:03:56 > 0:03:57- Oh, yeah.- Yeah.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02Oh, look, there's a DeLorean! That's just like mine used to be.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Oh, you're right.- Wow, look at that.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07See, I never should have sold it, man.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09CLUTCH SCRAPES, LAUGHTER
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Crumbs!
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Hey, hey! - GIRLS:- Ta-dah!
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Hey, I should help you out. Hi, how are you?- Hi, I'm Catherine.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Nice to meet you.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Nice to meet you, Tony, how are you doing?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Hello, lovely.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Jimmy, how nice to meet you.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Oh, you're warm. It's freezing out here.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29That's hard work.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- What do you think of our car? - It's hard work.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33- I know, it looks it. - I used to have one!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Well, I would love to know how this car really goes,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- because Margie is pretty hopeless at driving.- Give me the key.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Don't mince your words, then, Catherine.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42The keys are in there.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44So that's settled, then.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Catherine teams up with Jimmy and Margie has paired up with Tony.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49It's kind of a generational thing.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Our raring-to-go road-trippers are all heading
0:04:52 > 0:04:55to the town of Coalville in north-west Leicestershire,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58and there's some real love in the DeLorean.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- Cos I used to sing in Japanese. - Oh, my gosh. You are so talented.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08- No, I'm not.- You can do everything. - No.- I hope you can buy antiques.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I can't buy antiques.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I'm sure Jimmy will be just fine, Catherine.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15What about Tony and Margie?
0:05:15 > 0:05:20We go in the shop and then you sort of have a look around.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Are they price tagged?- Yeah.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25You look for dirty tickets, cos they've had it a long time.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Had it a long time. That's a good tip.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28No flies on Margie.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Kat's Antique, Vintage & Collectables Centre
0:05:33 > 0:05:36better watch out, because this bunch are ready to pile in.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Tony the tiger, he's ahead.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Let the dog see the rabbit, you lot.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Hello, how are you?- We're first.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Margie and Julie are going to have their hands full in here.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Go on, darling, you go upstairs. You go up.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Up, up and away.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- See you later.- All right.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Good luck.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04An owl. My mum used to collect owls.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Had this in your bedroom, this was all you had. Do you remember?- Yeah.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Really?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Look at the ways to grind stuff.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Mincer. You'd put all your... - Put your finger in there, mincemeat.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23No, please don't do that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Glasses.- Glasses. Put your bins on.- Put my bins on.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Let's have a look.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Margie is our resident silver expert,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33and she's spied a rather delightful sugar shaker.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Early part of the 20th century.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It's a bit rubbed, which is not good news.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39It depends how much money it is.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43It is silver. It is silver. The fact it's boxed makes it quite nice.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Decorative pieces like this in solid silver
0:06:46 > 0:06:49are usually popular in the saleroom.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Ah! Got a better mark.- Ah, you see?!
0:06:52 > 0:06:56That's the sign of a good piece, every part of it is signed.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Right.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Yeah, so it's about 1920s.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Yeah.- Do you like it?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04It's nice, yeah.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Yeah, just be careful with that top,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- cos it's a bit wibbly wobbly, isn't it?- Yeah, needs a bit of attention.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- What-what-what...?- The best, best offer on that, really, would be 35.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- We're not arguing, are we?- No, I think that's good. That is good.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Crikey, that was quick.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Thanks, Julie.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23We got the sugar shaker for £35.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- That's the first.- First one. - First job.- First one.- First one.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- That's not a bad choice, is it? - I don't... Hopefully. Should be...
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Should make a profit.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Here's hoping, Margie.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Now, what about our rascals upstairs?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Are they jimmying around?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Are you competitive?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Yeah, but I'm OK... I don't have to win, but I want to.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Who doesn't want to win? Come on! - Of course, of course.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- OK.- Yeah, this is a game.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Do you think Tony is competitive? - I don't know.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I think Tony has got a little tiger in him.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Oh...
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Now, what's this you've found, Catherine?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59That's kind of cool, isn't it?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02They're miniature ship lights, port and starboard.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Electric.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- This all looks very modern. - Yeah.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Julie and Marie have moved upstairs to help this pair.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Do they work?- She said they worked.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17I mean, what about that fan at the bottom? that lovely retro fan.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20How much would that be?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- What, the fan?- Yeah. - What's on the label?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- £40. - I can do that for 25 quid for you.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30That's generous, but will the £15 discount sell it to them?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Look, if we pay 25, it needs to make £40, £50, really.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Yeah, so we really need to pay, like, 10.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39What about the lamps?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- They're coloured, aren't they? - Yeah, this is a green and a red one.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- You see? You can kind of see it's green and red.- Port and starboard.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49So what would...you do?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I could do 15 for the pair.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Can you throw in the fan?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58He wants a lot, don't he?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Well, no, I don't want to be cheeky, but I want to win.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Don't we all?!- Yeah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07So could we have these and the fan for a tenner?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Sounds cheeky to me.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13What, you want to give me a tenner for the fan?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16And the lamps!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Come on, can we push it a little bit? How about 12?
0:09:18 > 0:09:1912, we can.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24- What about 15?- Meet in the middle, between 12 and 15, what's that?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Go on, then, 14.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Ah, I love you! All right, 14, and now we're your biggest fan.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Oh-ho-ho! Who writes this stuff?(!)
0:09:34 > 0:09:37We need to shake your hand and say thank you very much.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I don't even know what we've paid, I don't know what we've bought.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- I'm confused.- 14. We paid 14. - Yeah, you did.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47After a bit of Jimmy schmoozing them, we have two lots.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51£7 for the ship's lamps and £7 for the fan. That's ridiculous.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Ah, I spy the opposition.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Have you bought...? Have you spent quite a lot of money?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Catherine Southon, just mind your own business.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Oh!- Ooh!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04We're getting a little competitive, are we?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Competitive? You've just shown them what you bought, you ninnies.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Back to Tony, and his eyes are drawn to something.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Oh, that's interesting. What's that?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Yeah, look at the quality of that.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Evening coat. - Oh, that's beautiful, isn't it?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Yeah.- Look at that.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Who would have thought Tony would find a lady's coat,
0:10:27 > 0:10:31but he does love his threads, and this looks top quality.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- And it's hardly worn.- Yeah.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Look at that lace.- Yeah.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I mean, who or when and where could you wear it?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Do you think that's a possibility or not?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- I can't believe the nick it's in. - Great nick.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Julie is over there. - Are you around? Sorry, Julie.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Do you know anything about the history of this?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Wasn't that a marvellous...? - Well, it's Victorian.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Yeah, I realised that. And it's an evening coat of some kind.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Yeah, and it belonged to a lady's mother.- Yeah.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- I mean, I don't think she's hardly ever wore it.- No.- No.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07So what sort of price is it?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I've got £50 on that.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Yeah, it's a real gamble for us. You know, we wouldn't be able to make...
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- It's unusual.- It is unusual, but that's too dear.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20I think there's a little bit of movement on it, though.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I mean, what about £30?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- 30.- What are you thinking, then? - Are we being really mean?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Come on, you won't offend me. - Really?- No.- Well, that's nice.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Well, let's go for 25.- Yeah?- Yeah. - Yeah, go on, then.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- Yeah we'll do that. - I think that's a good...
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I don't want to go any lower, cos it's not fair.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- No.- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44The intricate Victorian lady's coat for £25. Thanks, Julie!
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Meanwhile, Catherine and Jimmy are back in the DeLorean.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53# Show me the way to Amarillo
0:11:53 > 0:11:56# Every night I've been hugging my pillow...
0:11:56 > 0:12:00# La la la la la la la la
0:12:00 > 0:12:04# And sweet Marie who waits for me. #
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Yes, now, moving on...
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Our happy duo are having a rest from shopping.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15They're heading to Castle Donington in Leicestershire...
0:12:15 > 0:12:18down an English country lane.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Oh, it's so beautiful. - Isn't it gorgeous?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Oh, we're really lucky.- Yeah.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Petrolhead Jimmy may be American,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31but he loves nothing more than British racing cars,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35so as a treat, he's headed to the Donington Circuit...
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Wow.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41..to uncover the history behind a British marque that defied all odds
0:12:41 > 0:12:44to beat the rest of the world in the late 1950s.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Now, that's what you call an entrance.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50If I can get out of this thing.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51How are you, sir?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Welcome to Donington Park. - Thank you so much.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Nice sunny day for you.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Catherine and Jimmy are meeting with the park's managing director,
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Christopher Tate, to find out more about this centre of excellence
0:13:03 > 0:13:06for training and development in the world of motorcar racing.
0:13:06 > 0:13:12- There was actually Grand Prix here in '36, '37, '38 and '39.- Wow.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Then the war came and this whole estate was then turned into
0:13:15 > 0:13:20- a huge military parking lot and an airfield...- It's just so cool.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24..which became a US and British Air Force field.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29After four decades, the park returned to the world of motorsports
0:13:29 > 0:13:32in 1971, and now houses the largest collection
0:13:32 > 0:13:34of Grand Prix racing cars in the world.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- Oh, wow!- This is amazing!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42You get to see really something
0:13:42 > 0:13:45about the entire engineering of F1 cars, if you like,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Grand Prix cars from before the war right through to the 1970s.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Look at that.
0:13:50 > 0:13:56It was all about learning lessons and how to build a Grand Prix car.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Look at the green. I love the British racing green.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01World-famous.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06This is immensely complicated - a V16 engine.
0:14:06 > 0:14:081.5 litres with a supercharger.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11But, then, British racing green went on
0:14:11 > 0:14:16to some of these other cars through the '50s and '60s.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Here we have the only complete set of British-built
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Vanwall F1 cars in the world.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27For 30 years, continental teams were at the forefront
0:14:27 > 0:14:31of car technology and beating Brits to the chequered flag.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35But all that changed when British company Vanwall entered
0:14:35 > 0:14:37the 1954 racing season.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Three years later,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Stirling Moss clinched victory at the British Grand Prix,
0:14:41 > 0:14:46the first time ever a British-built car won a World Championship race.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Vanwall were only racing for four years.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54Not only did they win races but they changed racing car design for ever.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- Lower and sleeker and faster.- Look at that body style. It's so sleek.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02This is Graham Hill's World Championship-winning car from 1962.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- No way.- Yeah, it's the proper thing.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08MUSIC: Don't Stop Me Now by Queen
0:15:08 > 0:15:10The 1930s race circuit here is a gem
0:15:10 > 0:15:13in the heritage of British motor car racing.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Only fair that Jimmy gets a shot at burning some rubber.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Here we go. - Hang on to your hat, sir.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Here we go. We're ready.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Whoohoo!
0:15:25 > 0:15:27I'm holding on now.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29THEY EXCLAIM
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Whoohoo!- This is so exciting.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Ah!
0:15:38 > 0:15:39I can't look.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42That is scary.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45That's so cool.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Oh, my God!
0:15:49 > 0:15:51That was amazing.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I'm going to get out so quickly just in case you start driving again.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I won't take off.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57That was fun.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02Jimmy's driving is amazing, but I feel really quite queasy.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04JIMMY LAUGHS
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I loved it.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08(Let's do it again.)
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Were you both in the same car?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I just was a racing driver. What are you talking about?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Are you OK? Come on.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Aw! Still friends?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- That was great fun.- Ooh.- Thank you.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26It was good, but...
0:16:26 > 0:16:27that's enough.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I think Catherine could do with a cup of tea. How British!
0:16:32 > 0:16:35From the heady days of pre-war daredevil motor racing
0:16:35 > 0:16:37and the spectacular achievements of Vanwall,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Donington Park Circuit became a training ground
0:16:40 > 0:16:43for developing British engineering to the highest of standards,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45and helped to hone the talents
0:16:45 > 0:16:48of some of the greatest British drivers of all time.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57While cars were spinning around Donington racetrack in the 1950s,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Tony was a little 'un finding his voice.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02My first memory is when I was about five years old,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05my dad would stand me on a table.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07He'd play the piano and I would sing.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10My grandparents then would put their hands in their pockets
0:17:10 > 0:17:12and give me money for singing.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I thought, "Hmm, that's a career."
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Margie and Tony have made their way to the city of Nottingham.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Hopkinson Vintage Antiques & Arts Centre
0:17:24 > 0:17:27is next on their road-tripping expedition.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Laser-sharp focus is needed, because there are four floors
0:17:30 > 0:17:34and 200 dealers selling their wares in here, and that's a lot.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Too expensive.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49We've got to win. We've got to beat Jimmy.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Margie and Tony have £340 left to spend.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55# La la la la la la
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- BOTH:- # La la la la la la. #
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Very musical.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Finally, Margie has sifted something out. What's this?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Are they copying Jimmy's ship lamp purchase from earlier?
0:18:07 > 0:18:12Do you think that's a sellable thing? It's an original, isn't it?
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Is it?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Do you like it? Shall I put it down here?- Oh, OK.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Once powered by kerosene,
0:18:18 > 0:18:22this copper and brass ship's lamp from the late 19th century
0:18:22 > 0:18:26has been electrified for use as an interior design piece.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29That's been on a ship or something.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30It looks very new, doesn't it?
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- It's been cleaned.- A marine lamp. Do you like it or not?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Well... - You're not sure.- I'm not sure.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- Anything that you've seen?- No.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I haven't.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Oh, dear.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- But you're not happy with that? - Well...- It's an antique, isn't it?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Well, shall we just see how cheap it can be?- Yeah.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Liam is on hand to assist. The ticket price is £80.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Look out.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Would that be a really good deal?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02What are you wanting?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Obviously the cheapest price you can get.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Well, I was thinking about 50.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08I don't think we can go to 50.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Hmm. What do you think?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16If I had to apply a bit of a discount, I'd do £60.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19As an in-between. I'd give you a chance to make some profit.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- I quite like that. - Yeah, we'll take it.- Hopefully.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Yeah. Fingers crossed.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Fingers crossed.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- We have a deal.- Thank you.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I'm not sure if Tony actually really likes it.
0:19:30 > 0:19:36Anyway, time for a rest before you do it all again tomorrow.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Nighty-night.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44What a lovely morning.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Our musical maestros don't need a radio in this Bentley.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53THEY HUM MELODY
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Hey!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57It's party time with the fellas.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58What about the girls?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01We didn't spend much yesterday, but watch this space, Margie,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04today is the day we will spend.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Well, me too.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I want to spend. Today, let's spend.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Hurrah!
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Yesterday, our perky pop legends
0:20:16 > 0:20:19launched into the world of antiques full of gusto.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Margie and Tony bought three lots -
0:20:23 > 0:20:25the silver sugar shaker,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29the Victorian lady's evening coat, and the converted marine lamp,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32meaning they have £280 to spend today.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Whilst Catherine and Jimmy bought two lots -
0:20:36 > 0:20:39the two ship's lamps and the retro fan.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41They still have £386 left to spend.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48The troops are assembling in the town of Telford in Shropshire.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Ah!- Oh, there they are.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Hello!
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Our boys.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Our boys!
0:21:00 > 0:21:02We're like teenagers.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Good morning.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Hello, ladies.- Hello, girls.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Look at you two, you're back to the future.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- MARGIE:- We are, we've come back.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- You're in charge of the Bentley, all right?- I'll drive.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Do you...?- Do you want...? Oh, go on, then.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Come on, let's go. Let's go shopping.
0:21:22 > 0:21:28Tony wasn't always in showbiz. As a young man, he had a 9-5 and a boss.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30He called me into the office and said,
0:21:30 > 0:21:31"Look, you've got a choice to make.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35"You either want to be an accountant like your father
0:21:35 > 0:21:37"or do you want to be another Adam Faith?"
0:21:39 > 0:21:41With his tongue in his cheek.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42What did you say?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- "I'm sorry." - "I want to be a singer."
0:21:44 > 0:21:48He said, "Well, I'm sorry, but we're going to have to let you go."
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Good thing your boss did, eh?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54We'll join Margie and Tony later, but for now,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Catherine and Jimmy are powering
0:21:56 > 0:21:59towards their next shopping destination,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01the pretty town of Much Wenlock in Shropshire.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08So what was life really like back then, on tour with The Osmonds?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I mean, what was going through your mind? Were you having fun?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It was so crazy back in the '70s.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16It was kind of alarming, in a way.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I mean, I can remember not being able to get out of a hotel room,
0:22:19 > 0:22:23and running into these bread trucks so that nobody knew
0:22:23 > 0:22:26you were in them, and hiding under the tables of a Chinese restaurant.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- That's just another world, though, isn't it?- It was just bizarre.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34I mean, something you'd see in a movie. But that was my life.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Blimey, Jimmy!
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Our Catherine will take very good care of you
0:22:38 > 0:22:41in this lovely emporium called Memories.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Get spending! You've got over £380 to splash.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49All right, I'm feeling good, feeling good. After you. Ladies first.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Yeah? You ready?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- Yeah, let's do it.- OK.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- Whoa!- Lots of cups. Lots of china. - It's like the Mad Hatter lives here.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02MUSIC: Freak Out by Chic
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Catherine and Jimmy have a language all of their own.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Chi-co!
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Chi-ki-chi-kah. - Chi-ki-chi-kah.
0:23:15 > 0:23:21- That weird little box?- Yeah. This is a sample box that people...
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Huntley & Palmers, the people who produce the biscuit,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26they would have gone round with this little sample...
0:23:26 > 0:23:30- Oh, really, so it's a tester.- ..to show the biscuits that they made.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Let's get a better look. Owner Mary is being very helpful.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Is it tin?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- It is.- Wow.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Have a look, Jimmy. - Is there anything in it?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Jimmy wants it to be full of biscuits.- Oh...
0:23:44 > 0:23:47That's got to be a discount. There's nothing in it.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Oh, I'm sure we can arrange that. - What am I going to do with a tin?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52What's on it? How much?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Unfortunately it's in at 40.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55- 40?!- Hmm.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Because I want to buy other stuff from you,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I kind of need it really good.
0:24:00 > 0:24:0220. Half price.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Yeah? OK, I was going to say 10, and you said 20,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07how about we meet in the middle?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Would that be all right?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- I would do 18. That's the best. - The very best.- Yeah.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Well, what if we hold off on this for a minute
0:24:15 > 0:24:16and then see what else we do?
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Cor, Jimmy is confident when holding the reins of sharp negotiation.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25But what's next for our road trip buddies?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Everybody is collecting vinyls again, you know?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Hang on in there, Catherine.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Cor, you're strong.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Take your time.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- I love album covers. - Take your time, Jimmy.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40We've got all the time in the world.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Are you having a struggle? - No...- Come on.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Top Of The Pops.- Oh, yeah. Crazy... That's yours!
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- It's at the top, Crazy Horses. - Ha!
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Oh, that's brilliant.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Is that cool or what?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Super cool. Jimmy has a light bulb moment.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Ooh... Mary!
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Do you have any record players?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Yes, there should be two around that area somewhere.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Wouldn't this be cool - if we had a record player, a record rack,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07like this guy right here?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09You've got Long Haired Lover From Liverpool on here as well.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Are you serious?- You've got two songs.- I've got two songs on there.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14See, I know your songs better than you do.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17So what if we did a record player,
0:25:17 > 0:25:22a record rack and a record with two of our songs on it?
0:25:22 > 0:25:23What's the good guy price?
0:25:23 > 0:25:29Normally, it would be about £40 for the record player, £10 for the rack.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34- 25 all-in.- What do you think? - Best price.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Best price. Well, I don't want to push... Can I ask this?
0:25:37 > 0:25:41If we do this, can we have the tin for 15?
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- Yes. - I love ya. Let's do it.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Crikey, Moses, poor Catherine didn't get a word in there.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Two lots bought, and Jimmy is on the prowl for more.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Look at this, this is cool.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56What about this?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Yeah?- That is amazing. - Look at those baby drawers.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01What do you put in there? Tooth picks.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I mean, what do you do? There's like nothing to put in there.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09- It's a toolmaker's chest.- Is it? You're such a nice lady.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11He's gone platinum with the charm.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14So what would you do? What would be the best price?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16189. The very best would be 125.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Can that possibly go down to about 100?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I could probably do 100 on that, actually.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- What do you think? - How much for the phone and that?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Phone is... - There's no stopping you, is there?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32No, I just like how it looks. It's like...
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Look at that together, it's awesome.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Yeah, it does look good.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36125 with the phone.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42Sounds fair, Mary. But I suspect Jimmy is up to something.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45What we'd really like to trade you are these mariner lamps.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- It's like port and starboard. - Do you want me to go get them?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- I could certainly have a look, yes. - I'll go and get them.- Would you?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Don't buy anything else.- I'll stop.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Thank you so much. I love that. That is...
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Jimmy is hoping to throw Margie and Tony off the scent,
0:27:00 > 0:27:04and he's being super canny. He only paid £7 for those lamps.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08They are fairly modern. There's some marking on the top.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- What are you hoping to get for them? - Where are we at on this one?
0:27:11 > 0:27:12We're at 125.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15If there's any way we could get that lot for 100
0:27:15 > 0:27:19and we could give you these, two of these, remember,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22for 25, that would be really good.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Yeah, I'd rather do just 20 on these.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27You're so nice. Let's do it. Thank you for doing that.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29You rock.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30- You rock.- Right.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33You rock, eh? Well played.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Trading in the ship's lamps means the engineer's drawers
0:27:36 > 0:27:38and the Bakelite phone cost £112.
0:27:39 > 0:27:45The '70s records lot for 25 and the biscuit sampler tin for 15.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Hello, somebody's nicked the engine.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Let's return to Margie and Tony.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53They're having a breather and travelling
0:27:53 > 0:27:57to the Museum of Iron in the village of Coalbrookdale in Shropshire.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Tony is telling Margie about his days
0:28:02 > 0:28:05before a glittering career in showbiz.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- When I left school, I went to work in an office.- Mm.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12In a steelworks. I used to walk round and go and visit the...
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Times of when they were emptying the furnaces into...
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- Oh, so dangerous. - Absolutely brilliant.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19Oh, it was absolutely fascinating.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24This area is responsible for the Industrial Revolution,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27all thanks to Abraham Darby's revolutionary techniques
0:28:27 > 0:28:30in iron making in the early 18th century.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33He developed the coke-burning blast furnace,
0:28:33 > 0:28:37which made it possible to produce commercial iron cheaply.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Once sleepy, Coalbrookdale became a powerhouse
0:28:41 > 0:28:45of pioneering excellence at the dawning of the industrial world.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Margie and Tony are meeting with David to find out more.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56This was the derelict old furnace that Abraham Darby took over.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Refurbished it, got new bellows, and in January 1709,
0:29:00 > 0:29:02he started drawing off the new metal.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06- Yeah? What sort of things did they make?- Everyday utensils.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08It all started with the three-legged pot.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11The success of manufacturing this little pot sparked
0:29:11 > 0:29:14the beginning of mass production of cast iron.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18This is an example of the ones he made?
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Absolutely, this is an early Coalbrookdale pot.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25I say early, they were actually then made for many centuries,
0:29:25 > 0:29:27well into the 20th century,
0:29:27 > 0:29:30when they were still exported to other countries.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Is it heavy?
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- It's not too heavy, you see? - It's not too bad.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35He cut down on the amount of metal he was using,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38so, in other words, the amount of metal he was producing,
0:29:38 > 0:29:41which was about 5-10 tonnes a week, went further.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45He was producing about 150 of these, apparently, by 1713, a week.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50By the mid-19th century, the world was reliant on cast iron,
0:29:50 > 0:29:54heavily used for both domestic and industrial purposes.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Cast iron was also used for some of the early steam engines,
0:29:58 > 0:30:01the cylinders of some of the very earliest steam engines.
0:30:01 > 0:30:06So basically, this innovation fuelled the Industrial Revolution.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09It made possible all those engineering innovations in textiles,
0:30:09 > 0:30:12with power looms, steam engines,
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- steamships all stemming from this. - Yeah.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18The pioneering inventor was something that pumped through
0:30:18 > 0:30:20the veins of the Darby lineage.
0:30:20 > 0:30:27In 1779, Darby's grandson, Abraham Darby III, constructed the world's
0:30:27 > 0:30:31first industrial iron bridge, over the River Severn, in Coalbrookdale.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33A stone's throw from the factory,
0:30:33 > 0:30:38this bridge showcased the versatility of iron to the world.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Here we are, this is the bridge, the famous iron bridge,
0:30:41 > 0:30:44made at the Coalbrookdale Foundry by the Darby family,
0:30:44 > 0:30:47and this really took ironwork into this new area
0:30:47 > 0:30:51of constructional ironwork, architectural ironwork.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53And it is also beautiful.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- The bridge is still here, it survives as a monument...- Yeah.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00..to the thriving industry that was along the banks
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- of the River Severn here.- Yeah.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07Generations of Darbys continued the scientific and industrial
0:31:07 > 0:31:09advances of Abraham Darby I.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13The changes affected how we live on a global scale
0:31:13 > 0:31:16and enabled Britain to become the world's most dominant industrial,
0:31:16 > 0:31:21colonial and military power in the 18th and 19th centuries.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- David, thanks for looking after us. - It's been a pleasure.- Thanks.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Catherine and Jimmy
0:31:27 > 0:31:29have zoomed northwest,
0:31:29 > 0:31:30to the town of Shrewsbury,
0:31:30 > 0:31:31in Shropshire.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- So this is Shrewsbury.- Shros... - Shroosbury.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Yes, Shrosbury, Shroosbury.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- Shroos... What?- Is it tomay-to, toma-to? One of those things.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43SHE LAUGHS
0:31:43 > 0:31:46SHE MAKES WHOOSHING NOISE
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- I feel like I'm getting out of a spaceship.- CHUCKLING:- You are.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52And you're the pilot.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Ooh, look at that, bit awkward.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Memory Lane is owned by the lovely Holly.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58If you find anything, come to us.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- Can we wheel and deal with you? - You can try.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Ah, look at her!
0:32:02 > 0:32:05GIGGLING: You might have met your match, Jimbo.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Hey, Catherine, check this out. This is cool.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Wouldn't that be neat, like, on a shelf? What is it?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- It's like... - Oh, it's a coffee grinder.- Is it?
0:32:19 > 0:32:20# Do the hustle... #
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- This looks like a particularly good example.- Right there.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- And it's worth a second look. - It's kind of cool, look at that.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Wouldn't that be good in a really cool, like, trendy...
0:32:30 > 0:32:32- I think it'd be amazing. - ..coffee shop?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- Yeah, just up on a high shelf or something, you know?- Yeah.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37So you'd get beans and put them in there,
0:32:37 > 0:32:38and you're turning the handle.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42- Shall we get it? - Cor, he's quick off the mark.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- Let's put ourselves out of pain. - £160.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50Ooh. Ah, that never stopped me, did it? Come on.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Is this guy for real?
0:32:53 > 0:32:54He sure is.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Back inside, Holly makes a call to the dealer,
0:32:57 > 0:33:00but young Jimmy wants to take control...again.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04It's John? Hey, John, how are you, sir?
0:33:04 > 0:33:07And how much is that coffee grinder in the window?
0:33:07 > 0:33:08HOLLY AND CATHERINE LAUGH
0:33:08 > 0:33:11The one with the waggly tail. No. Um...
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Is it American? No wonder I was drawn to it.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19He said 120 is all.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21But we could only do half price,
0:33:21 > 0:33:23which, I hope that didn't offend you.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Can we meet in the middle?
0:33:26 > 0:33:29115. Hold on, can I just talk to my partner here...
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Partner in crime.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33..and ask her what she thinks, is that all right?
0:33:33 > 0:33:37While Jimmy and Catherine have a ponder...
0:33:38 > 0:33:39..Margie and Tony are making
0:33:39 > 0:33:40their way north-east
0:33:40 > 0:33:42to the Shropshire town
0:33:42 > 0:33:44of Shifnal.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45SONG: Whole Lotta Love
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- Are you going to sing to me before we finish?- Oh.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51That would be a no, then.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56- Time's running out for our time together, Tony.- Oh, I know.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Well, make the most of it, then.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01TwoJays Corner is the last shop of the day,
0:34:01 > 0:34:04and this is Tony's last chance to find some more goodies.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- Come on, let's get in there.- Let's do it, let's see what we've got.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09Let's do it.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17That Margie can be a bit of a nosy parker.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- What do you have at home?- A mixture.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- We go for dark wood.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Mm. What, old?
0:34:25 > 0:34:30- Some of it is, yeah.- Bit of antique? - Bit of it.- Yeah? Bit of modern?
0:34:30 > 0:34:32- Mind your own business. - Quite right, Tony.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35We're talking antiques here.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38How are Jimmy and Catherine getting on with making that deal?
0:34:38 > 0:34:45So, we know that our friend on the phone will go for 115 for this.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46- OK.- Let's do it, shall we?
0:34:46 > 0:34:51- I need to pay you.- Are you happy? - I'm happy. I'm skint, but I'm happy.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53CATHERINE LAUGHS
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Jimmy really likes to take control.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59Could this be an expensive gamble or a clued-up, profit-making success?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Meanwhile, back in the camp of Tony and Margie...
0:35:04 > 0:35:08Is that a clocking-in clock? Look at that. Love those, don't you?
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- Used to have that at the steelworks where I worked.- Did you?- Yeah.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16- For the workmen, yeah, they used to clock in.- I think they're fantastic.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20After a trip down memory lane, what's next for this twosome?
0:35:20 > 0:35:25- Tony.- Yeah?- Shall we go outside? Do you want to go outside?
0:35:25 > 0:35:27THEY LAUGH
0:35:27 > 0:35:28Sorry, I'll do it again.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Sounds like a pick-up line.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Blimey.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37- OK, let's go.- And the helpful Jackie will accompany them to talk prices.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Right, now, we've got to look at everything, haven't we?
0:35:41 > 0:35:42Are you looking?
0:35:42 > 0:35:48- All right, Mrs Bossy Boots! - Still looking.- Ooh, quite like that.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52- That's interesting. Is it stone? - It's got style, that, hasn't it?
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- 1819, this one. - That's the stock number!
0:35:56 > 0:35:58JACKIE AND MARGIE LAUGH
0:35:58 > 0:36:00How was Tony meant to know that?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02The ticket price is £67.50.
0:36:05 > 0:36:10- And the old boxer there. People like dogs.- It's a bulldog.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- Oh, is it a bulldog?- Yeah.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Just don't know what's going on here.- That's his leg!
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Oh, it's his leg?
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Oh, Margie.
0:36:19 > 0:36:24- Have you had him a while? Cos the sign's washed out.- Mmm.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- Oh, look.- Oh.
0:36:28 > 0:36:34Two cats in the planters. Oh, look at that. Hello!
0:36:34 > 0:36:38- Those are two bulb planters? - I'd say they are, yep.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42- About 1950s. - So what sort of price are they?
0:36:42 > 0:36:44One has gone.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- What sort of money are they?- Erm... - Can they be a good price?
0:36:48 > 0:36:54I could do those for you for... Let me have a think.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Cos you're pausing, I'm going to come in with 65.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- I was thinking more like 75.- Right.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Now we have three lots rooted out,
0:37:05 > 0:37:08it's time for Tony to take control of the dealing reins.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- I'm moving towards this, Jackie.- Mmm.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17What I want to know is, what's your best price?
0:37:17 > 0:37:18MARGIE CHUCKLES
0:37:18 > 0:37:22I could do him for...35.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- 35?- Mm.- And we were thinking of...
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Of the bulldog.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29I can do the bulldog for 15.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30- 15?- Mm-hm.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35And then we've got to consider the planters with the cats in.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Yeah, I'll do 65 for the planters.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- Well, I think that's fair, thank you.- Yeah?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Hopefully they'll do well. - Shake on it.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- And thanks.- Thanks very much, Jackie.- And good luck.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Yeah, I think we might need it.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49THEY LAUGH
0:37:49 > 0:37:54What a whirlwind buy...of three items costing a grand total of £115.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57And - can you believe it? -
0:37:57 > 0:38:00we've reached the end of our shopping spectacular.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05And Catherine and Jimmy are in high spirits.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- I like Neil Diamond. Do you?- I do.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- # Sweet Caroline... # - Oh.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- BOTH:- # Bam-bam-bam
0:38:12 > 0:38:15# Good times never seemed so good... #
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Do it!
0:38:17 > 0:38:19He always said these weird little things, like,
0:38:19 > 0:38:20"Do it! Yeah!" You know?
0:38:20 > 0:38:22CATHERINE LAUGHS
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Now for the big peek at one another's buys.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31Wow, how did it go? Did you enjoy yourselves?
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Yeah, course we did.- Did you have a good time?- I had a great time.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- I learnt a lot. - Did you buy some cool things?
0:38:36 > 0:38:37TONY AND MARGIE LAUGH
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- Very cool things. - It depends what you mean by "cool".
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Come on, we got to see 'em, I'm excited to see 'em.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Hang on, hang on, we don't want to spoil anything.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- JIMMY AND CATHERINE:- Ooooh.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50There we go.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51Hey, Crazy Horses!
0:38:51 > 0:38:53# Crazy hors... #
0:38:53 > 0:38:54# Crazy horses... #
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- I think this bunch have had too much sugar.- That is great.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- I love your dog.- Look at the dog.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- Is it old?- No, not very.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- What is that?- That is... Oh, we can't touch it.- You do it.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- Yeah, we can.- I picked that. - Did you?
0:39:08 > 0:39:11It's a Victorian evening coat. - Amazing.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- You picked that at the first shop. - Exactly.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15CATHERINE AND JIMMY: Ahhh.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17- Very clever.- Yeah.- Very clever. What's this?
0:39:17 > 0:39:24This is a marine lamp. - Yes, cos you saw our little lamps. Right, OK.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27We got to shake them off our tails, haven't we?
0:39:27 > 0:39:28OK, so you thought you would copy us.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31And in there is a silver sugar shaker.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- I want to see.- You want to see? - Oh, don't touch it. It's all right.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- TONY:- Can you see?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- There we go.- And it is...?
0:39:39 > 0:39:40- Real silver?- £35.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- TONY:- Real silver. - Get out of town.- 1927.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- Really?- 35?- Yeah! - She's the queen of silver.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- TONY:- She knocked it down.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- - OK, would you like to see ours? - Can't wait.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54- You do this.- I'll do this. - On your marks, get set, go!
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Whoa! Oh, that's great!
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- An old coffee grinder. - Yeah, that's a coffee grinder.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- It's like toleware. - No, that's a hot chocolate grinder.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- For me.- Are you a hot chocolate man? - Yeah, I'm a hot chocolate man.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10And then this, I love that vintage. We got that at the first place.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- Oh, God, that's good, I like that. - This is what's really cool.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- Like that?- Yeah, I love these little chests.- So that's one lot there.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18To go with the telephone?
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Well, we thought it looked quite good together, it was on it,
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- but we just...- And how much did you pay for that?- We paid 105.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- I love that. That's really nice. - That's nice.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37- You traded.- We traded and got a better deal on that.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Jimmy and Catherine are sharpshooters, Margie.

0:40:58 > 0:41:02- Oh, yeah, right.- Oh, Tony, you joker.- That's very good.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06Yeah, it's a record player with the records in the little display thing.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- And our music.- And Jimmy's autograph.- Isn't that hilarious?
0:41:09 > 0:41:10That is hilarious.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14I signed it, which is really going to take the value down, you see.
0:41:14 > 0:41:15No, you're going to do OK with that.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- Margie, can I show you one last thing?- This is cool, I like this.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- Yes, go on.- I have to tell you, this one last thing

0:41:30 > 0:41:33- No kidding, Sherlock. - It's going to be an amazing auction.

0:41:52 > 0:41:54I like the horse, that was kind of cool,
0:41:54 > 0:41:56but I don't know if anybody's...
0:41:56 > 0:41:58You know what? Those things are modern, though. They're modern.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03I'm surprised he's in the position where he has to go and buy a fan.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- I don't... The dress?- No.- No.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- So, fingers crossed. - Fingers crossed.

0:42:33 > 0:42:37We're going to find out pretty quick which one of us is rubbish, right?
0:42:39 > 0:42:43It's tipping it down as the girls await our celebrities' arrival.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46- Hey!- Lovely day!

0:43:09 > 0:43:12What do you think of their offerings, then, Lee?
0:43:12 > 0:43:14When I saw the record player and the records,
0:43:14 > 0:43:18I just realised that I used to have one of those.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21Exactly the same model, back in the day, nineteen seventy...
0:43:21 > 0:43:23two, I think it was.

0:43:30 > 0:43:32people who've come into the saleroom,
0:43:32 > 0:43:34so I'm sure that'll do well.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37Excellent. Jimmy and Catherine were today's biggest spenders.
0:43:37 > 0:43:42Jimmy proved to be a sweet-talking guy with a sharp business acumen.
0:43:42 > 0:43:46They spent £274 on five different lots.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51Tony and Margie were a little more laid-back, but dapper gent Tony

0:50:47 > 0:50:51I hear you, Jimmy. It's still a profit.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Way to go, partner.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56- You did it.- It's hard to get a pound, isn't it?
