0:00:01 > 0:00:03The nation's favourite celebrities...
0:00:03 > 0:00:06- I like that. - Are paired up with an expert...
0:00:06 > 0:00:07We've had some fun, haven't we?
0:00:07 > 0:00:09..and a classic car.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10It feels as if it could go quite fast.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14The mission, to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16- Yes.- Fantastic. - I'd do that in slow-mo.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction...
0:00:19 > 0:00:22- Come on, boys! - ..but it's no easy ride.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25- Da-dah! - Who will find a hidden gem?
0:00:25 > 0:00:28- Oh! Sell me! - Who will take the biggest risks?
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Go away, darling.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Will anybody follow expert advice?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34I'm trying to spend money here.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35There will be worthy winners...
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- Yes.- ..and valiant losers.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Put your pedal to the metal.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Yeah!
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Today it's all about hitting the right notes.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59I kind of feel like this is a really mean machine
0:00:59 > 0:01:02and you're driving it like a granny.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Don't knock granny-driving.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Change gear, babe.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08That will be the one.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Cruising along in this throaty 1970 Trident Clipper
0:01:12 > 0:01:16are husband and wife singing duo David and Carrie Grant,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18who are swapping singing in harmony
0:01:18 > 0:01:20for a spot of competitive antique-ing.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Oh, yes.
0:01:21 > 0:01:27Even after 30 years your first base attitude is,
0:01:27 > 0:01:28- "I'm going to beat you."- Of course.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Like, literally, for 30 years you've been saying that
0:01:32 > 0:01:35and for 30 years you've been losing.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Oh, come on!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41David Grant is an '80s pop icon.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46# I'd play out after dark and they would come get me... #
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Yeah! He was a regular in the UK charts,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53clocking up 14 hits and becoming a television favourite.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55David Grant, the man himself, for the Yellows.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01His wife Carrie was a hit-maker herself
0:02:01 > 0:02:04and, in 1983, as part of the group Sweet Dreams
0:02:04 > 0:02:07she represented the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12After becoming coaches and judges on successful shows like Fame Academy,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15David and Carrie have become familiar faces on our screen.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18David, have you decided to stick with your new trainers,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21or are you going to go back to those smelly old ones?
0:02:21 > 0:02:22But for all that showbiz talent,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24it's shopping skills they'll need today.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Don't get me wrong. You're good at shopping
0:02:28 > 0:02:31but I am good at spotting a bargain.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33You know the cost of nothing.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36You don't even know the cost of a loaf of bread now.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39So how do you think that you're going to go into a shop
0:02:39 > 0:02:42and suddenly gain this gift of knowing the value of something?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Because, baby, I'm not going to be buying bread.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48I don't know what you're going to be buying,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51but let me tell you something, I've already won
0:02:51 > 0:02:54if you're going to go and buy loaves of bread.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Our competitive couple will be guided away from the bread aisle
0:02:59 > 0:03:02by the expert hands of our auctioneers,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Will Axon and Mark Stacey.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08They're bopping along in this pre-seatbelt-era
0:03:08 > 0:03:111961 Morris 1000 in custard yellow.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14And I hear Mark is a fan of Carrie's European past.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16She was in a group called Sweet Dreams
0:03:16 > 0:03:18that were in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1983
0:03:18 > 0:03:20with I'm Never Gonna Give You Up.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I know you have an encyclopaedic knowledge...
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Not encyclopaedic, but I love Eurovision.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30# Ooh-ah, just a little bit Ooh-ah, a little bit more... #
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Mark Stacey, douze points.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Will Axon, nil points.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Well, that concludes the judging from our expert jury.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Time for our hopefuls to meet their mentors.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Good morning. - How are you, Mark? I'm David.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Nice to meet you, David. - Hi!- Lovely to meet you.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50David, Will. How are you?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Nice to meet you. How are you?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- Carrie. How are you? - I'm good, thank you.- Good.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56We are so looking forward to this.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58We are. We've decided our pairing.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- Am I with you? - Yeah, because I love Eurovision.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Come here, you. Come here and give me a man hug.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- We are a team.- We are all bonded, cos this is our car...
0:04:07 > 0:04:11No, I think you'll find the man with the keys always wins.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Take a little look in there, you'll see my handbag, reserved.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Try and start the car with a handbag.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I'll keep the keys. Come on.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23You talk about starting the car. Let's do it.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25HORN BEEPS
0:04:25 > 0:04:28HORN PLAYS "DIXIELAND"
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Now that's a horn. - And it's got a horn!
0:04:31 > 0:04:32This should be fun.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Carrie and David will have £400 each to spend
0:04:35 > 0:04:38and their journey starts off in Landbeach in Cambridgeshire.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40They'll explore Suffolk and Hertfordshire
0:04:40 > 0:04:42and nip into Bedfordshire
0:04:42 > 0:04:45before heading north to Norfolk for an auction in Downham Market.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Are you good at shopping? - I'm really good at shopping, yes.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- I am. Yeah. - Are you good at bargaining?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- I'm not.- I'll help you.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I'm relying on you heavily for everything, to be honest.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58That worries me a bit, you know.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01You know, it's not that I mind losing to her.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06Not really. It's just that it would make my life unbearable if I did.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- It's just bragging rights at home, isn't it?- Big-time.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Well, let's get things moving, then!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13And with a rural auction coming up,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15this could be the perfect place for David and Will
0:05:15 > 0:05:17to start their shopping adventure.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Hello there!- How are you doing? - Will, how do you do?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Yeah, good.- I'm David, hi.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24David, yeah. I'm Stan from Stantiques.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Stantiques, good!
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Like what you did there, Stan.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31This place is jam-packed.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Have a look round, guys, see what you can find.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Thank you.- Let's have a wander, David, let's have a wander.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37What...
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Oh!- What have you got there?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Straight in with a...shooting stick.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Are you a man of country pursuits?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45No! What do you think?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47A lot of people have one.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49If you're going to have one for decorative purposes,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51you want the old bamboo one with the cane seat, really.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Really?- Yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- OK.- But, you know, it's a start, you're showing that you're keen.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59A bit of taxidermy.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01How do you feel about dead animals?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Oh, I like this stuff. You see what I did there?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05OK, um...
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Yeah. In the UK, all animals are protected by law,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14and items from endangered foreign species can be sold,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16as long as they predate
0:06:16 > 0:06:19the 1947 Cites agreement, don't you know!
0:06:19 > 0:06:20I'm liking the wild boar.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Yeah, how much is the wild boar?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Best, best price, 120.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28What?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Come on!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32120?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Well, it's a price, at least we've got something to think about.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Well, taxidermy isn't to everyone's taste and could be a big gamble,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41even at a rural auction.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Meanwhile, Carrie and Mark are toddling along the road
0:06:45 > 0:06:47to Newmarket, the birthplace of horse racing,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50and they are under starter's orders in their first shop,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Treasures Antiques.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53And it's big!
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Is that two floors?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- It is.- I need a week in here!
0:06:58 > 0:07:02So, plenty of interesting things to get you going.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Do you know, that reminds me of Will!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Why?- Because he's such a bore!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11How long did it take him to think that one up?
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Do you think we should split up?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Yeah. I mean, yeah. I don't know what to look for, but, yes.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I think you've got an eye.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Oh, yeah? Nothing like throwing her in at the deep end, Mark.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I feel like some of the stuff I've seen here
0:07:27 > 0:07:29is actually from my childhood home.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Hornsea, Springtime, wow.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Mark, I really like this as a set, look.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Is that good?- I love it.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- '60s, isn't it?- Yeah, 1960s.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42You know, I love the simplicity of it
0:07:42 > 0:07:44and it is very in vogue in certain areas.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46It would look lovely in your house.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48So I've got to stop buying for myself?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Yes, but that's a very common thing to do when you are shopping, isn't it?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Now, I've found something which I think you'll hate.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56You just took that out of your pocket.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- I did.- Were you trying to nick it?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01No! I just think there's something about it.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02I think this is an antique.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04There's a lot of modern tribal stuff around,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06but antique tribal stuff is quite collectable.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09You can see there's a lot of dust and dirt in there.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I'm not being funny, but you're saying that in rural areas,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15they won't go for a 1960s butter dish,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19but they'll go for something that's tribal, with no arms...
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- You hate it, don't you? - I beyond hate it.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23OK. Thanks, Carrie.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Bye.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Lordy, this could be a long day.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Meanwhile, in Landbeach, David and Will are still browsing.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Little stationary boxes,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37these all look like they should have cutlery in.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Yup.- They look like sort of fish services, fruit services,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44that sort of thing. You've got tins that are collectable...
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Oh! Well caught.- Steady, Will.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- Let's see if there's anything in this little box.- Let's have a look.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Go on, open her up.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Well, there you go, the fish service.- Ah!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58The Victorians loved to complicate things.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01There's not much of a market for that, these days.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Do you use a fish service?- Um, no.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Well, anything more practical?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Now what have you found?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Look at that!- That's kind of cool, isn't it?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Yeah!- Good old saw.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13What kind of age would that be?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Looking at the wear and so on,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17it's got to be sort of turn-of-the-century, hasn't it?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- Wow.- Sort of 1900, something like that, maybe a touch later,
0:09:21 > 0:09:221910 or something.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24So this could be a century old?
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- Yes.- Do you think this is the kind of thing that might be of interest?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I do, I quite like it.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I quite like it. Again, it's got a sort of sculptural quality about it, hasn't it?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- But do you like it? - I do, I really like it.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I think David might get the hang of this rather quickly.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Just as well. Will has spotted something else.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44What do you reckon to that bad boy?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- See it?- Wow! Yeah!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48It's a little hand plough,
0:09:48 > 0:09:52not too big, so it's, you know, accommodatable. If that's a word!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54It's definitely not.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57It evokes the Fens, in my mind.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Yes.- Doesn't it? I mean, all you see around is ploughed fields,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03ploughing competitions left, right and centre...
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Are there still now?- There's one held every year, just down the road.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10So something like this, when would it have been used until?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Again, I think if you are talking out in the provinces,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16probably up to the Second World War, that sort of period,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20maybe even could have been used recently after the Second World War.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21I think that might have potential.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Shall we find out what it costs?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Yeah, let's find out, because I like that, I do like that.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Well, it's worth a shot, I suppose.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Over in Newmarket, have our other pair agreed on anything yet?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34So, just round this corner...
0:10:34 > 0:10:39- Yes. Show me.- I noticed these, and I just am attracted to them,
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I love them.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Yes.- You hate them!
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Well, I don't hate them, um,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48but they are sort of measuring jars, aren't they?
0:10:48 > 0:10:49- Jugs.- Yes, are they common?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52They look really unusual to me.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Well, they are not that unusual, but I think they are £10 each.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Oh.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Yeah, let's forget that, then.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I think... I like where you're going with that, but I think, you know,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06we can find maybe something a bit...
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Don't humour me, let's go somewhere else.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I thought I was doing quite a good job then!
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Well, what did you have in mind, then, Mark?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Carrie?- Yes?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Are you a porcelain lady?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Do you know, I walked past those earlier.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- Did you?- And I thought, I like those,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23but I'm just going to be told they're tacky.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25No, they are not. Do you want to take that one?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Yes. Are they not tacky, then?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I don't think so. They're French porcelain.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Possibly made in the sort of Paris area, around about 1870,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- and this...- So I did have an eye!
0:11:35 > 0:11:39I was thinking they are bit gaudy, I'll be told that's a bit naff.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41You're right, they are gaudy, but they are meant to be,
0:11:41 > 0:11:43because that was the taste of the day.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46I quite like that sort of pale peach colour as well.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47I just love the whole thing, yeah.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I mean, they're very flamboyant, aren't they?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Hurrah, something on which they both agree!
0:11:52 > 0:11:57With a ticket price of £79, Naz is here to talk money.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- We've seen these... - Mm-hm.- ..and we quite like them.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01I think we've got to make an offer...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It's my first chance at bartering, hang on.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Could we have them for cheaper, please?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Are you willing to barter with us?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Give me a figure, then we'll work from there.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12- So, I...- (50?)- Oh, no!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- No, no.- Go on, then, what would you say?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- £40.- Can you come up a little bit?
0:12:16 > 0:12:1841?
0:12:19 > 0:12:2142?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23What about 45?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Can we do 45?
0:12:25 > 0:12:26I can do 55.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Oh!- 55? How about 50?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Can we do 50?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Oh, my gosh! Did we just buy it?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Well, you did.- Oh, is that it now?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I was in full flow there!
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Oh, come on, £51...
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I think we could have got it for 45.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Never mind, that's the first purchase of the Road Trip.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Great! The Etruscan style vases for £50. Well done, Carrie.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Now, how are the chaps getting along?
0:12:55 > 0:12:56I do like the look of this.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Can you tell me anything about it?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02It's an old saw.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Well, glad we cleared that one up.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06So, now, what would this cost?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09£15, David.
0:13:09 > 0:13:1015, OK.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13What if we had these two together?
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Are you liking the saw still?
0:13:14 > 0:13:15I still like the saw.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Yeah.- What did you say for the saw?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Did you say...?- 300.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22I thought we said a tenner?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Here we go. Nice try!
0:13:25 > 0:13:28But Stan still wants £15 for the saw.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32The plough actually looks like a push or wheel hoe,
0:13:32 > 0:13:37which would loosen the soil in your garden, and Stan's asking £25.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40What do you think, David?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42If I was shelling out £30
0:13:42 > 0:13:45and taking both of them, would that be...?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Oh, that sounds like a very fair offer.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Could we do that?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51It sounds reasonable.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Boys, I could shake hands at £30, it's here and now.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Come on, let's do it, let's get that first buy done.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Cool, all right.- Nice one.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59So we have a saw...
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Yeah.- And we have a plough.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- A saw plough!- All we need is a farm.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Oh, come on! I think I saw one on the way in.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Right, let's see if it's for sale.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Follow me. Thanks, Stan!
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- OK, yep.- Thank you!- Cheers.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Ahem! Um, chaps?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Hang on, we haven't paid him!
0:14:18 > 0:14:20We agreed on £30, yeah?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22We did, yeah.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Well, what I have here
0:14:25 > 0:14:29is £100, which I would really like you to have.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32What are you up to, David?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38In exchange for what we've already got and the boar's head.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Oh, that was a cheeky move.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I know you're thinking, that's an awful lot of money for those things,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46but I want you to have it.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I really do, I don't want to scrimp, I just want to say, look...
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- Listen... David... - Put it in your hand.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- I couldn't do that. There's still meat on the bone there, boys.- Yeah.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58£100, you know, that's only a good dinner.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- What do you want for the boar's head, then?- 120.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Oh! I still want 120 for it. - Oh, no!
0:15:04 > 0:15:06That's me on that, I'm afraid.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- Sorry.- 120.- 120, yup, so 150 in total for the three items, guys.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Are we done? - Yeah, nice little parcel.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Lovely, yeah, no worries.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16No-one got hurt!
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Except the boar!
0:15:20 > 0:15:24We got there, and the boys are off to a flying start.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Back in Newmarket, it looks like Mark is on to something else.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Carrie, come and have a look at these.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Those little winning trophies there.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Oh, yes!- And they are modelled on horseshoes, aren't they?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40In my teenage years growing up in Royston,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43you'd see the racehorses going across the heath in the morning and,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45you know, this is a really important subject
0:15:45 > 0:15:47for this particular area of the country.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49So can we find out how much they are?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Time for round two with Naz.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Stand by, girl!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55There are great fun, aren't they?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- What are they made of? - I think they are just tin.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01And I'm guessing they would go on the horse...
0:16:01 > 0:16:03What's it called? What do you keep a horse in?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Horsebox!- Stables?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Stables, oh, that's it.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- I tell you what...- I've got to trust you with me horses!
0:16:11 > 0:16:14These plaques are priced at £178.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I'm keeping your hands well away from this deal.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18- Yeah.- You just hold those.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21You just hold them all and it'll keep you occupied.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Um, I tell you what,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25because you lost a fiver last time,
0:16:25 > 0:16:26let's say 105.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- Oh!- Thank you so much.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Yes!- She said yes!
0:16:33 > 0:16:37That's a whopping £155 on their first two items.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Well, I'm pleased with these. - I'm really pleased!
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Time to catch up with the boys
0:16:45 > 0:16:48and their new friend, don't you know?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Boris the boar! Boris the boar.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Oh! I've always fancied a fourth child.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Boris, you're mine.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01David, Will and Boris the boar
0:17:01 > 0:17:02have meandered their way
0:17:02 > 0:17:05to the illustrious university city of Cambridge,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08where amongst the bicycles and hallowed spires
0:17:08 > 0:17:11lies a hidden footballing past.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12What's all that about?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- You like your football? - I love football.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16- Do you?- I absolutely love football.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I'm passionate about football.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20When I was a kid, everybody in my school in East London
0:17:20 > 0:17:22had an out of London team. It was always Manchester United.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Mine was Liverpool.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I started going to watch Liverpool whenever they were in London.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30And then, years later, my cousin played for Liverpool...
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- What?- John Barnes. Yeah, he played for Liverpool...
0:17:32 > 0:17:34John Barnes is your cousin?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Yeah.- Barnsey, the legend?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38The legend that is John Barnes is my cousin.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Oh, my God, how cool is that? - Very, very cool.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47David and Will are here to find out how this unassuming scrap of ground,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49known as Parker's Piece,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52is responsible for the rise of the world's most popular ball game.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Football fan Alan Ward is on hand to tell them all about it.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Alan, I've never known that this was the birthplace of football.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Is that true?- Well, it is true,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04in the sense that this was the first time
0:18:04 > 0:18:08that the rules were written down in one place, here at Cambridge.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- I've got you. - So, before they formalised them,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14what was football like?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Well, it was a pretty lawless game!
0:18:17 > 0:18:18It was played...
0:18:18 > 0:18:22It could be played over a whole day, with 100 people a side,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24between two villages...
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Oh, wow.- And the idea was you got the ball, or the object,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29from one place to the other.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Football's British origins began as a mob game.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36This archive from the 1920s shows hundreds of men and boys
0:18:36 > 0:18:37chasing a ball.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Rather fun. In fact, from the Middle Ages to the late 19th century,
0:18:40 > 0:18:44the games were wild, no-holds-barred affairs,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47pitting areas of the same town against each other
0:18:47 > 0:18:49and ending up with gangs of men brawling in the streets.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54It sounds like a really violent game.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Well, it was extremely violent, and often
0:18:56 > 0:18:58the games were played on bank holidays,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01because people didn't have any time off from work.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04So it was a bank holiday, big game between two villages,
0:19:04 > 0:19:08extremely violent, lots of people hurt and injured.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11It was discussed as to whether the game would be banned
0:19:11 > 0:19:14because people weren't able to go to work the following day.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Lots of people were injured and hurt.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21To keep the workforce in one piece,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24efforts were made to restrict these mob games,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28although they continued to be played in some areas as annual spectacles.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Public schools and colleges adopted a rather less violent version
0:19:31 > 0:19:34of the game, but the rules remained ambiguous.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Some schools allowed the ball to be handled, others did not.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40This made playing against anyone
0:19:40 > 0:19:43who came from a different school very difficult, naturally.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Get it?
0:19:45 > 0:19:46So if the rules were sort of
0:19:46 > 0:19:48slightly different throughout the country
0:19:48 > 0:19:49and from college to college,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52how did they decide which rules they were going to play under?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Was at the home team that decided?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Here in Cambridge,
0:19:56 > 0:20:00the colleges would come to Parker's Piece and they said,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02"Well, why don't we all just play to the same rules?"
0:20:02 > 0:20:05And so, in 1848,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07the Cambridge rules were written down
0:20:07 > 0:20:10and that's the first time that the rules were formalised.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13In 1848, a group of students pinned their Cambridge rules to a tree
0:20:13 > 0:20:16here at Parker's Piece.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19This was the first time that a single set of rules
0:20:19 > 0:20:22was agreed by more than one college football team.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Alan has very kindly recreated the pinning of those rules today.
0:20:26 > 0:20:32This is talking about throw-ins and goal kicks and how to kick off,
0:20:32 > 0:20:36and no player must be tripped or pushed or held back by hand.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40It's, like, things that we really take for granted.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42There are still details missing,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44like the number of players and length of a match,
0:20:44 > 0:20:48but within 15 years the Football Association was created.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52The FA used the Cambridge rules to form the modern game of football.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58In an age of the British Empire, people travelled from these shores,
0:20:58 > 0:21:00taking the rules of football with them
0:21:00 > 0:21:03and sharing this new game with the world.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07So are you saying, really,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10that on various continents throughout the world,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13footballing nations owe their footballing origins to Britain?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Yes.- Wow!
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Slightly embarrassing that we are not any better at it, isn't it?
0:21:19 > 0:21:20We won't go there.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Come on, let's go for it.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Come on, lend us the ball!
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Oh, nice turn!
0:21:28 > 0:21:31And so the game loved by so many today around the world
0:21:31 > 0:21:35owes everything to a handful of students who had a kickabout here
0:21:35 > 0:21:38in Cambridge in 1848.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Hey, pass the ball, lads.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Meanwhile, across the county border in Suffolk,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Mark and Carrie are continuing their search
0:21:48 > 0:21:50at Clare Antiques & Interiors.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- Hello!- Hello, Mark.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Carrie. - Hi, Carrie, I'm David.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Good to see you. We are going to have a good look round.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Wonderful, thanks very much.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02In we go.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05There's no hanging around, and just as well.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Carrie, surely you can persuade Mark to take a gamble on something.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13This blue case of stuff...
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Quality always sells.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Cheap doesn't.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20I'm saying no more.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24I'll just leave you with that thought for the day.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Something else, perhaps?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- That's absolutely ghastly! - It's lovely!- It's awful!
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Oh, my gosh.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Maybe Mark's right about that one.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Another try?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Well, that's pretty, isn't it?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- A pair of glasses? - Well, it's actually...
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Yes, you can take the glasses out.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Those are cool!
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Proper vintage glasses.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- They are, aren't they?- Oh, wow. - Try them on.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Oh, you look fabulous.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58You look like a doctor!
0:22:58 > 0:23:00You look as if you're just about to analyse me.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03If my head's like that, I'm fine. It really works.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- But I love the case. Do you know what it's made of?- No, what is it?
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Oh, is it mother-of-pearl?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It is, mother-of-pearl, an abalone shell.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12- And it's made of papier mache.- No!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Yes. And it's Victorian.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16That dates to about 1890.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- We're having it.- You really like this, don't you?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I really, like, instantly warm to those.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23There's £28 on the ticket.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Time to talk money with dealer David. Look out!
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Hello.- Hello.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30We've fallen in love
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- with these vintage spectacles and the glass case.- Wonderful, yes.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35We're putting them into auction,
0:23:35 > 0:23:38we're wondering whether we can get a really good price on them.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- I'll certainly do my best. - Will you?- Yup.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Well, we were wondering whether we could get it for 15.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46I can't do 15, Mark, but I could stretch to 18.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Shall we?- We love 18. - Thank you, we love 18, thank you.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- Thank you very much. - That's very kind of you.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Carrie, what can I say?- Yes! - That was wonderful.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56We've ended the day on a high.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Turning into quite a team, aren't they?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00£18 gets them their third item
0:24:00 > 0:24:03and wraps up shopping on an eventful day.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Just time for our celebrity husband and wife
0:24:07 > 0:24:09to catch up before they kip.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Because I'm such a beginner and newcomer to this,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I still have that genuine belief
0:24:14 > 0:24:17that I will find something for a little bit of money
0:24:17 > 0:24:20that's worth a lot.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Do you know what I mean?- Yeah.- Like, "I'm going to be able to do that!"
0:24:23 > 0:24:25They get on well, don't they?
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Nighty-night.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35It's a new day and time to compare notes.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Will was just so good.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40He corrected me in a really nice way.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Like, I'd be going, "Let's buy this," and he'd go,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44"Yeah, that's interesting. Do you like that?"
0:24:44 > 0:24:46"That's interesting. That's really good."
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Oh, really? Martin didn't do that.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Martin corrected me in a horrible way.- Really, like what?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- He just gave you the look. - He just gave me the look.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56He loves you really.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58She was so nice a person to work with
0:24:58 > 0:25:00and so enthusiastic in the shop,
0:25:00 > 0:25:04but everything I showed her she seemed not terribly impressed with.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- You mean she hated?- Yes.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Yeah. Yesterday Mark and Carrie bought a pair of vases,
0:25:10 > 0:25:11some equestrian plaques,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15some spectacles and a lovely frog-mouth spectacle case,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18leaving them £227 to spend today.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I'm quite pleased with those.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21I'm really pleased.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25While David and Will picked up a boar's head,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27a rustic saw and a push hoe.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Still, they have £250 to play with.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- Well done.- Very good.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34So when you were looking,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36what kind of things were you looking for?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Small things, big things...? - I was looking for things
0:25:39 > 0:25:41that would make a profit and beat you.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45So that was basically the criteria?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47And you?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Yeah, the same. Pretty much.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52OK, chaps, time for round two.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Oh, look, here they are.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Oh, yeah, what a stylish couple...
0:25:57 > 0:25:58- Oh!- ..we are.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Hello!
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Do you know, that sounded a lot smoother with Carrie driving it.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06No, it didn't.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09It didn't, it just sounded a little more relaxed
0:26:09 > 0:26:11because she doesn't actually give it loads.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Do we not deserve the red car?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14I think you drove it beautifully.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Thank you.- It was so smooth.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- I think we've earned it. - I think you misunderstand.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21You see, the red car is the winner's car.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Great, that's ours, then. - Literally ours, then.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25You haven't earned it yet.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Excuse me!- I'm not getting involved.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I'll make a deal with you - if you win...
0:26:32 > 0:26:33..I'll buy you the car.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Get out of town!
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Is matrimonial bliss suspended for the rest of the competition, then?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44David asked me this morning...
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Yes?
0:26:46 > 0:26:52..how I got on yesterday and I told him that I'd bought everything.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54No! Are you trying to wind him up?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Yeah.- Are you playing games with him?
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Yes. I've been sending him secret texts calling him a loser.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Is this something you do on a regular basis or just for the show?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Oh, yeah, it's a competition.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11I'm not sure if David is competitive about the antiques or just the car.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15She has to earn driving this car by winning.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19As that's not going to happen, she may not drive it again.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Exactly, she's had her chance, mate.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Our teams will be selling their antiques at an auction
0:27:24 > 0:27:26in Norfolk's Downham Market.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27But our first stop today
0:27:27 > 0:27:31is in the Hertfordshire market town of Hitchin.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34David and Will are at Marie Antiques for a rummage about.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36So off you go, lads.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37And where's Marie?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40More spangly jewellery.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43These are nice, though, aren't they, these hardstone pieces?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- They're lovely.- If you wanted to buy things for Carrie here.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49We're not buying for Carrie, we're buying for us for a profit.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- What about over here?- Oh!
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- What have you spotted?- What's that?!
0:27:55 > 0:28:00Well... Continuing on our animal theme, this looks like a fish slice,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02I would imagine, by the fact that it's a fish.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Why's it shaped that way?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07You don't want to lose your salmon steak, do you?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09So you would cut it and lift it?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Yes, that would be for passing the fish.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Those bits... Serrated edges, or something?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I suppose you could if you wanted, but no,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21I think the shape is decorative and slightly humorous.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25Oh, yes, it's the most amusing fish slice I've ever seen
0:28:25 > 0:28:28and it will cost you 45 with no chips.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30I like this a lot.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31It's not bad quality, actually.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Do you think that we might, like,
0:28:34 > 0:28:36get some interest?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I think it's a bit quirky, isn't it?
0:28:38 > 0:28:40A bit different.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43We've got Boris the boar, why not have Freddie the fish?
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Absolutely. Time to talk money with dealer, savvy Sheila.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- OK.- Now...
0:28:50 > 0:28:51- We like that.- You like it.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53I'm not surprised, it's a beautiful item.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55- It's fun, isn't it?- Yes, it is.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59But the price is just a little bit out of our comfort zone.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Can you give me an idea of where we can go with this?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06I can do but it's a good item at 45,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09but of course I will see if there is anything that we can do.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11I just need to go out the back to check that.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12- No problem.- Thank you.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Fingers crossed the owner is willing to give a little discount.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Sheila makes the call.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- Think positive, think positive. - Stand by.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- OK, guys. - Good news or bad news?
0:29:22 > 0:29:25I think you're going to find this is amazing news.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- Go on.- OK. We like you.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- Aw!- That's good. - It's happened once before.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32That's almost as unique as the fish slice.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35That's unique what I've just said as well,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38and so is this, because we're going to offer you that for £5.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39- What?!- Get out of town!
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Oh, my goodness.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42A Lady Godiva.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Yes!- He's straight in his pocket. I think that's a deal.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48I should say so.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51That's an incredibly generous discount!
0:29:51 > 0:29:52- Goodbye.- Bye-bye.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56With £40 off, the boys get a once-in-a-lifetime deal.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59They must be happy with that. Bonkers.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Do you know what? I'm going to kick my heels up.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Nice!
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Elsewhere, Mark and Carrie have made
0:30:08 > 0:30:10a 50-mile journey west, into Hertfordshire,
0:30:10 > 0:30:13as they head for lovely Letchworth.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Oh, Letchworth Garden City.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- It sounds very nice.- I have a really big connection there.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- Do you?- I do.- Tell me.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Cos my...mum and dad
0:30:29 > 0:30:32owned the station shop.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37My mum loved it. Once she retired, she did this for...about
0:30:37 > 0:30:39maybe five or six years. They owned it,
0:30:39 > 0:30:41and it was just brilliant.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43She loved it cos she loved people.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45I know nothing about the history.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- No, I don't. - I'm sorry to say, ashamed to say.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Well, now's your chance.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Carrie and David are visiting the local museum
0:30:52 > 0:30:55to find out how these leafy surroundings
0:30:55 > 0:30:57sparked a social revolution.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00To explain how this town changed the way people lived
0:31:00 > 0:31:04in cities worldwide is curator Josh Tidy.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- Hello!- Hello, welcome. - I'm Carrie.- I'm Josh.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- Hi, Josh. I'm Mark. - Hello. Do come through.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13Where did it all begin, Josh?
0:31:13 > 0:31:17It all began with Ebenezer Howard, who was a social reformer
0:31:17 > 0:31:19who was trying to solve the problems of the late-Victorian age.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22In Victorian Britain,
0:31:22 > 0:31:24people flocked to the cities looking for work,
0:31:24 > 0:31:27but overcrowded homes, crammed next to factories,
0:31:27 > 0:31:30meant workers were constantly subjected
0:31:30 > 0:31:33to the smoke and squalor of their industrial surroundings.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36Poverty was rife
0:31:36 > 0:31:39and the average life expectancy was just 40 years.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42But Ebenezer Howard, who'd grown up in London,
0:31:42 > 0:31:45had a vision to change the way people lived.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47He wanted to plan the construction of new towns
0:31:47 > 0:31:49with an altogether different approach.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53So the biggest influences on Howard
0:31:53 > 0:31:58were industrial villages set up by factory benefactors,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01like Cadburys, who created Bournville,
0:32:01 > 0:32:04and Lord Lever, who created Port Sunlight up near Liverpool.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06They were really looking
0:32:06 > 0:32:09at increasing the productivity of the workers.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13So healthier, happier workers would obviously be off sick less
0:32:13 > 0:32:15and produce more.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16Howard was inspired by that,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19but also felt it should apply to everyone
0:32:19 > 0:32:22and not just to do with increasing productivity.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27In 1898, Ebenezer Howard published his book, Garden Cities Of Tomorrow.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31He set out his vision of people leaving industrial cities behind
0:32:31 > 0:32:33to work in the new towns,
0:32:33 > 0:32:37that offered employment and the benefits of a rural lifestyle.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42The book really sets out his vision for garden cities
0:32:42 > 0:32:45and is packed full of diagrams,
0:32:45 > 0:32:48which is where he best illustrates his ideas,
0:32:48 > 0:32:51including this one, the three magnets.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53It's a very simple idea but very neatly expressed.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56It's combining all of the best parts of town
0:32:56 > 0:32:57and the best parts of country life,
0:32:57 > 0:32:59without either of the worst parts.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02So you end up with different uses for different areas of the town.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06You have areas for workers' housing so they can walk to work.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10You also have planned green spaces right in the heart of the town
0:33:10 > 0:33:11so people can enjoy that.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- It's amazing, isn't it? - It's fantastic, actually.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16He wanted it really to be a network of associated towns.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20In fact he thought if the idea was really a success,
0:33:20 > 0:33:25he thought the problem might be that London would wonder what to do
0:33:25 > 0:33:27with the empty husk cos everyone had left.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- THEY LAUGH - What a lovely thought!
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Indeed.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32The diagrams were simple
0:33:32 > 0:33:36but Howard's ideas were a sea change in town planning.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Zones were created to separate housing and industry
0:33:39 > 0:33:42and communities were surrounded by agricultural land
0:33:42 > 0:33:45in what became the country's first green belt.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Residents could access invigorating green spaces
0:33:48 > 0:33:50and, most revolutionary of all,
0:33:50 > 0:33:54rent paid in these new towns was invested back into the community,
0:33:54 > 0:33:57rather than lining the pockets of landlords.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00In 1903, the new town of Letchworth
0:34:00 > 0:34:02became the world's first garden city.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Its village greens, Arts and Crafts-style houses
0:34:06 > 0:34:10and zoned areas were the realisation of Howard's dream.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Letchworth soon attracted the attention of people
0:34:13 > 0:34:17excited to see what life in this new garden city was like.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21This is Andrew Muir and he is one of the early settlers
0:34:21 > 0:34:24that were affectionately known as "cranks".
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Lots of people were interested in this simple life
0:34:26 > 0:34:29and...rational dress.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34They rejected the formal attire of Edwardian England
0:34:34 > 0:34:35and went with these smocks.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37That would have been outrageous at the time, right?
0:34:37 > 0:34:41Letchworth and its cranks were regarded as a curiosity
0:34:41 > 0:34:44by the rest of the country.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49People came up from London on a day trip to have a look at them.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50Forget the city, just look at the people!
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- Indeed.- Yeah.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Howard's revolutionary Letchworth Garden City
0:34:55 > 0:34:57became a blueprint for new towns across the world.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01Locations like Sao Paulo and Christchurch in New Zealand,
0:35:01 > 0:35:04as well as parts of New York and Los Angeles,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07all owe their design to Letchworth,
0:35:07 > 0:35:09the garden city that remains a testament
0:35:09 > 0:35:14to Ebenezer Howard's dream of a utopian living environment.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15How interesting.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Meanwhile, Will and David
0:35:18 > 0:35:21have one last stop on their shopping trip
0:35:21 > 0:35:24and are pootling west to Barton-Le-Clay.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Their final stop is
0:35:26 > 0:35:28in this local antiques centre.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- Here we are.- OK.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Listen, just don't buy any more ploughs.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33OK, I'm sorted with that.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35LAUGHTER
0:35:35 > 0:35:37This place is huge!
0:35:37 > 0:35:41There's plenty here for them to spend their remaining £245.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44How about you go that way and I'll go this way?
0:35:44 > 0:35:45Go on, then. See you later.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52There's a lot here.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Oh-ho-ho!
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Quite nice.
0:36:02 > 0:36:07That might be a goer for our rural lot.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11One of the first presents that I ever got
0:36:11 > 0:36:16that I was really, truly excited about, was a camera.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19As a child, just having a camera was a great thing
0:36:19 > 0:36:23and I loved it, I cherished it, I loved taking photos.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26This reminds me of that excitement.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31First World War. This is from 1912 to 1914.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35Even before the war, people had these.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37In fact I really like this.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41David loves it and it is ticketed at £35.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Oh, here comes Will.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Hello, young sir, can I interest you in any fresh milk?
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- What do you reckon? - DAVID LAUGHS
0:36:48 > 0:36:50I'm ready for the American football field.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52You've got to be kidding!
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Really? I thought, to add to our country lot.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57So do you put two buckets on the end of those?
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- Two buckets, off you go. - Oh, wow!
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Do you think anyone would buy this?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05I don't know. Unless you want to veto me.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07No, I'm not the expert.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09We've just got money burning a hole in our pocket
0:37:09 > 0:37:12and I want to try and spend as much as we can.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- OK.- What is it?- What was it?
0:37:14 > 0:37:18It was at £48 and it's now £28.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Tell me, what have you been looking at?
0:37:20 > 0:37:24I've been looking at these cameras. I love old cameras.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Do you?- This one has particularly caught my attention.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29That's two items to think about.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32The owner of the yoke has left them their number.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Time to make a call.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Thank you.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Hello, Stan. We saw your milkmaid's yoke
0:37:39 > 0:37:42and we wondered if you might be able to help us out.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44At the moment, you've got 28 on it.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Would a nice round 20 buy it?
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Yeah, 20 quid?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Are you happy with that? All right, then, lovely.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Toodle-pip!- Yes!
0:37:55 > 0:37:58That's an £8 discount and the yoke is theirs.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00But if you want anything else, you will need to get a move on
0:38:00 > 0:38:02cos here comes the yellow peril.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- That cheeky whatsit. - I tell you what...
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- How long have they had in here? - I have no idea, Carrie.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Taking all the best stuff!
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Well, they are certainly trying their best, Carrie.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- Carrie, we have no time to waste. - Let's get straight in there.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Are we going to spend all our money?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Only if it's going to make us lots of money.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23I'm finally getting the hang of it.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25You are getting the hang of it.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28These two have £227 weighing them down.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Oh, nice!
0:38:39 > 0:38:40£480.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41Put it back.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44You tell him, Carrie.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Cameras, do they sell?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Only certain ones.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51That's a code for "no".
0:38:51 > 0:38:52Well, don't tell David, then!
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Although the boys have their eye on something else.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59I absolutely love this.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00A little mahogany fist?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02It's like a... Maybe not mahogany.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05A fruitwood or perhaps a little boxwood
0:39:05 > 0:39:06or something like that.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08It's a fist, but check this out.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Good spot, Will!
0:39:12 > 0:39:13What is that?
0:39:13 > 0:39:18It's a novelty pipe bowl carved in the form of a clenched fist.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Ticketed at £29, it's certainly an unusual lot,
0:39:21 > 0:39:23but wait, there's more.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25What do you reckon to that?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27What's that made of? What would that be?
0:39:27 > 0:39:31That's horn and I'm almost certain that is silver-mounted,
0:39:31 > 0:39:33though I can't find a hallmark.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34I like this.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37It could've been used at a pre-hunt meet.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38It looks that kind of thing, doesn't it?
0:39:38 > 0:39:41To maybe have a little glass of sherry before you're off.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42Hold on a minute...
0:39:42 > 0:39:46- Whisky. - Oh! You have a man with a nose here.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47Oh, yeah, you're right.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51Whatever went in it, there's £22 on that beaker.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54They now have several potentials to consider.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56I say! How about Carrie and Mark?
0:39:56 > 0:39:59It's a ladies' cigarette case
0:39:59 > 0:40:05and it's, "Helen, from Roy, 8/6/1929."
0:40:05 > 0:40:07It's Continental silver.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09It's marked 925.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12It's enamelled in this lovely lilac enamel.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15And engine-turned underneath.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Gives it a lovely quality feel.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20I like it. I like it...
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- But?- But...
0:40:22 > 0:40:26- It's lovely quality. - 175? That feels like a huge risk.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29It is a huge risk, but do we like taking risks?
0:40:31 > 0:40:32I do.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- What would we say yes to? - Oh, gosh.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35It's a big ask, I think,
0:40:35 > 0:40:39but if we could get it for 125 or less, it might stand a chance.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40- It is a good-quality item.- OK.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Do you want me to buy this?
0:40:42 > 0:40:45I would like to find out what we could get it for.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48You do that then, Mark, and let Carrie have a gander.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Oh, my gosh. That's adorable.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58Mark?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Where has he got to?
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- OK, thank you very much.- No problem. - I'll tell her.- Oh, hello...
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- Carrie.- Yes.- Don't shout at me.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06I bought it.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- How much...?- 125.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10OK.
0:41:10 > 0:41:11The exact price.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15I know, but it is lovely. It's worth a chance, isn't it?
0:41:15 > 0:41:17We have got to make at least...
0:41:17 > 0:41:18Four million.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Hey, that would be a find.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23But that's a £50 discount for the cigarette case.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Now it's the boys' turn to chat with dealer Steve.
0:41:27 > 0:41:33- OK.- Right.- We've got a few items that we've chosen
0:41:33 > 0:41:34from your selection.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36What shall we go for first? Let's go for this one.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38OK, beaker first.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Steve has got the owner on the phone.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- There we go. It's Judy.- Hi, Judy?
0:41:43 > 0:41:46We've been rather taken by a little horn beaker.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48It's got 22 on it.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Yes, I'm going to say yes to that and thank you very much.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- Judy, thank you so much. - £15.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Schmoozer. That's a £7 discount for the beaker.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Now for the pipe.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05- Sorry...- It's on at 29.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08I'm not going to try and break your back on it.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Would a straight 20 quid buy that?
0:42:10 > 0:42:12- You know what? Let's do it. - Yeah?- Yeah.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16That's £20 for the pipe and £15 for the beaker.
0:42:16 > 0:42:17Now for the camera.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Hope you've been watching, David, because it's your turn.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23I've got quite a tight budget
0:42:23 > 0:42:26and I was wondering if we could agree on a figure
0:42:26 > 0:42:29that I could just part with now - around 20 quid?
0:42:29 > 0:42:31If I go to 25?
0:42:31 > 0:42:33This is all yours, remember.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35OK, yeah. 25.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Shall I pass you back?
0:42:37 > 0:42:39OK, thank you.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40Well done.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45£80 gets them the yoke, beaker, pipe and camera.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- That's been great.- Enjoy those.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49You grab those, I'll grab the yoke.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53Let's hope it's a double-yoker, and their shopping is complete.
0:42:53 > 0:42:54- Oh, no!- Look out!
0:42:54 > 0:42:58- Bags of stuff.- This isn't fair.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00- What have you got there? - I wouldn't go in there.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02We've had all the good stuff.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04You've bought all the rubbish already?
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Listen, they are like people in a dark room
0:43:06 > 0:43:08looking for a black cat. Anyway, come on.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11- Oh! Is he always that rude? - Yes.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13TIM LAUGHS
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Now you have the place to yourself.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17What's Carrie found?
0:43:17 > 0:43:18- It's a child's chair.- Yeah.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Actually, I'm quite impressed with you.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23- Aw!- I'm so glad you found this because I can sit down.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27I like it for a couple of reasons.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29People collect children's chairs and it's a rocker.
0:43:29 > 0:43:30I just...
0:43:30 > 0:43:32This is all turned, nicely turned.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36There is a lot of wear on that so people have used that.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38It tells of its history, doesn't it?
0:43:38 > 0:43:40It does. But this is rather simple, here...
0:43:42 > 0:43:44But it is only £35.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46That's what I was thinking - Edwardian,
0:43:46 > 0:43:47and if we could get it a little bit cheaper...
0:43:47 > 0:43:49When is the Edwardian period?
0:43:49 > 0:43:51That was when Edward was around.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53You're absolutely right.
0:43:53 > 0:43:57I'll tell you what, I'm not needed.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59I think that's a possibility.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Well done, you.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04We've not seen Steve for a while, so let's get him back in.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07We want to be a bit mean if we can, sorry.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09- I knew this bit was coming.- I know.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11THEY LAUGH
0:44:11 > 0:44:13I'm sure the others were much nicer.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15But, um...
0:44:15 > 0:44:17we'd like to get it for about 20.
0:44:18 > 0:44:2020? What's the price on there?
0:44:20 > 0:44:22- 35.- I thought it was 22, wasn't it?
0:44:22 > 0:44:2525...
0:44:25 > 0:44:27- That's it, isn't it? - Do you know what?
0:44:27 > 0:44:29Yes.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32- Shake his hand quick.- There we go.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34- I told you to shake his hand. - He said yes!
0:44:34 > 0:44:36Steve, thank you. We're thrilled with that.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38Oh, my gosh. We're going to make money on that.
0:44:38 > 0:44:40- I hope so.- Thank you so much.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- We are all done. We're shopped out. - We're good.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45You certainly are.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47Now, with all that shopping complete,
0:44:47 > 0:44:49brace yourselves...
0:44:49 > 0:44:51- Shall we show?- Yeah, let's do it.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53All right. Ready, steady...
0:44:53 > 0:44:57- You've bought a warthog. - A warthog!
0:44:57 > 0:44:58Wow!
0:44:58 > 0:45:02This is a wild boar, or at least, WAS a wild boar.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05- It still is. - I'm not sure about that.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07What's that? What's that?
0:45:07 > 0:45:08Well, this is our...
0:45:08 > 0:45:10We've gone for a bit of a tactical lot here,
0:45:10 > 0:45:13bearing in mind we're going to a rural auction house.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15So we thought we'd get something that might appeal
0:45:15 > 0:45:16to the rich farmer boys.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18- That's a good lot. - It's quite fun.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21What's the spoon, Will?
0:45:21 > 0:45:23The spoon is actually just silver-plated.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25It's also a fish slice.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27- But it's kind of fun, isn't it? - How much was that?
0:45:27 > 0:45:29We asked what her best price was.
0:45:29 > 0:45:30- You won't believe it. - She said a fiver.
0:45:30 > 0:45:34No! You're going to make money on that.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36The hand thing, what's the hand thing?
0:45:36 > 0:45:38- I love it.- A pipe?
0:45:38 > 0:45:42- It's great, isn't it? - And you've put it with the horn?
0:45:42 > 0:45:45I've put it with the horn beaker, which again we picked up today.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47Hang on a minute, how many bits of this...?
0:45:47 > 0:45:48This is a lot, that's a lot.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50It is a lot. It's way too much.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52That's a lot, that's a lot.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54I think you've done really... They've done well.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56- I think you have, to be honest. - I hate to say it...
0:45:56 > 0:45:58- No, I agree. - But they've done extremely well.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01- Hang on, we haven't seen your lot. - No, trust me, you've done well.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03- Let's have a look. - Shall we?
0:46:03 > 0:46:06Careful now.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09- Oh, no, look.- Oh, man!
0:46:10 > 0:46:12I love this.
0:46:12 > 0:46:13You bought that in there, didn't you?
0:46:13 > 0:46:16- Carrie found that. 20 quid. - No way!
0:46:16 > 0:46:19- £20. - It was cheap enough at 35.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Oh, my goodness.
0:46:21 > 0:46:22- We love these with the sun... - Look at these.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24And you've got the spectacles.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26- Nice.- Fabulous.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29- This is perfect.- I love them.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31What's that clanking?
0:46:31 > 0:46:32They look really stylish.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35They're French - Paris, probably. Etruscan style.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38They are really designer interior.
0:46:38 > 0:46:39And I wanted them for 45.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43- But Carrie shook hands at 50. - 50's still cheap, Mark.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46From the really agricultural to the delicate and tasteful.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48Oh, it's been nice.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51It's damning me with faint praise.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53On that note, I think we'd better leave.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55Oh, well, let's see what he really thinks.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59Mark's got a certain look,
0:46:59 > 0:47:02and he's gone very well with those porcelain vases.
0:47:02 > 0:47:06The little card case, the enamel card case - beautiful.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08I don't think they'll get loads for the boar's head,
0:47:08 > 0:47:11but that spoon thing and the pipe, those two things.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13That spoon, I can't believe it. Five quid.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15The glasses, the Victorian glasses, I love.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17Yeah, that's quirky. And the chair.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20I think the chair is their good lot there.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22I really hope the silver enamel cigarette box does well.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25- It might come back to haunt you, that one.- It might do.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27I don't like it when you wag your finger at me.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33Time now to head north into Norfolk
0:47:33 > 0:47:35for the auction in Downham Market.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40Has anybody got any pre-auction jitters?
0:47:40 > 0:47:43I feel like all of my bravado has left me.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46DAVID LAUGHS
0:47:46 > 0:47:48I've lost my mojo
0:47:48 > 0:47:51with the fear of being beaten.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55- Do you know what? - I saw your stuff and I was like,
0:47:55 > 0:47:58"OK, I'm going to lose."
0:47:58 > 0:48:02For me, this whole thing has been about beating you,
0:48:02 > 0:48:04but now we're here...
0:48:04 > 0:48:06You still want to beat me.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Yes, I do, but if I beat you and you lose money,
0:48:08 > 0:48:10I'll still feel like I've failed.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13So is it a matter of who loses the most?
0:48:13 > 0:48:17Who loses the most is the loser, yes.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Well, I'm glad that's straight.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Downham Market was once the hiding place for King Charles I
0:48:21 > 0:48:24after his defeat at the Battle of Naseby.
0:48:24 > 0:48:28But who will trounce who today?
0:48:28 > 0:48:30CAR HORN TOOTS
0:48:30 > 0:48:32Oh, I recognise that sound. Oh, no.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37Loving it. He's like a boy with a new toy.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39We hadn't noticed. Come on.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41- How are you, mate?- Good.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43- All right.- Are you ready? - Yeah, come on.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45No time to lose.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Let's remind ourselves what they bought.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53Carrie and Mark spent the most,
0:48:53 > 0:48:57splashing £318 on five lots for auction...
0:48:58 > 0:49:02..while David and Will parted with £235.
0:49:02 > 0:49:06After combining a few things, they also have five auction lots.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09But what does Barry from Barry Hawkins Auctioneers
0:49:09 > 0:49:10make of it all?
0:49:10 > 0:49:13The little plough is, in actual fact, a hoe.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15We see them time after time.
0:49:15 > 0:49:19And then the whole lot altogether, with the yoke and saw,
0:49:19 > 0:49:22is probably going to make £10 at the outside.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25Now, the little cigarette case - absolutely delightful.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28And that could, again, top £100.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30While Barry relaxes with a cup of tea,
0:49:30 > 0:49:33his colleague Julia is first up with the gavel.
0:49:33 > 0:49:34Everybody ready?
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Selling for £14.
0:49:39 > 0:49:43First lot of the day is David and Will's silver-plated fish slice.
0:49:43 > 0:49:45Who'll start me with this?
0:49:45 > 0:49:47Start me with £20 on this nice little fish slice.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49- £15, I am bid.- Oh...
0:49:49 > 0:49:5118, 20.
0:49:51 > 0:49:52Here we go.
0:49:52 > 0:49:5624, 26, 28, 30.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59Selling for £30.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01Well done, you.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03What a really good buy. I'm so pleased for you.
0:50:03 > 0:50:05WILL LAUGHS
0:50:05 > 0:50:06I'm not bitter.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08Very gracious!
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Well, the generous discount on the fish slice
0:50:10 > 0:50:12ensured a tidy profit.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14That's some result. I'll take that.
0:50:14 > 0:50:18Now, Carrie fell in love with the glasses
0:50:18 > 0:50:20and Mark adored the frog-mouth case.
0:50:20 > 0:50:22But will they take the fancy of the bidders?
0:50:22 > 0:50:24The glasses are actually inside it.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Little glasses there.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28Do you need them modelled?
0:50:28 > 0:50:30£20.
0:50:30 > 0:50:3115?
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Oh, come on.
0:50:33 > 0:50:34£10 I'm bid.
0:50:34 > 0:50:35- £10, 12.- You're- in.
0:50:35 > 0:50:4014. 16, 18. £18 with me at the moment.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43- Come on. - 20 - £20 I have.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45£20 I have. £20 - any more?
0:50:45 > 0:50:47I thought they'd make more than that.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49Selling at £20.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52Carrie's first lot of the day and it's a small profit.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Your next best lot is coming up next.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58- This is my favourite lot. - Oh, I love it.
0:51:00 > 0:51:04Next, it's the combination lot of the treen pipe and beaker.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06Nice little lot there.
0:51:06 > 0:51:09Sale of the century moment, that.
0:51:09 > 0:51:10Start off at £20 on that.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12£20, I am bid.
0:51:12 > 0:51:1525, 30. £30. 35, 40.
0:51:15 > 0:51:19£40, £40. 45, 50. £50 with me on the book.
0:51:19 > 0:51:20Oh, commission on it as well.
0:51:20 > 0:51:2552. 55. £55 with me.
0:51:25 > 0:51:26It's a profit.
0:51:26 > 0:51:2865. 65 on the book.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31They've got a lot of commission bids, haven't they?
0:51:32 > 0:51:33Still cheap.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36Selling for £65.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39- £30 profit. - £30 profit.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41We're doing all right, we're doing all right.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43You know, I'm quite...
0:51:43 > 0:51:46I'm quite relieved - we thought you might get more than that for that.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Is that a compliment or what?
0:51:48 > 0:51:51Either way, it's two profits for the boys.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54That's all your good luck now gone.
0:51:54 > 0:51:55Thanks!
0:51:57 > 0:52:00Hopefully, the good luck is heading your way, Carrie.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02It's your pair of vases next.
0:52:02 > 0:52:03Just look at those.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05- They're very stylish. - What a pair.
0:52:05 > 0:52:06Who will start me off?
0:52:06 > 0:52:08£20 on those.
0:52:08 > 0:52:11£20 on the vases.
0:52:11 > 0:52:12£10 I am bid.
0:52:12 > 0:52:1612, 14, 16, 18.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18- Come up, it will come up. - No, it won't.
0:52:18 > 0:52:2120, 22.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23It's only got £130 to go.
0:52:23 > 0:52:2524, £24.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27- That's such a bargain. - Any more, any more?
0:52:27 > 0:52:30Selling at £24.
0:52:32 > 0:52:33Oh, that was...
0:52:33 > 0:52:35Sorry, Carrie.
0:52:35 > 0:52:36The buyer isn't sorry.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39He's grabbed a real bargain.
0:52:39 > 0:52:41But it's another loss for Carrie.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44Do you know, I really am disappointed by that.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46We're distraught this end(!)
0:52:47 > 0:52:51Next, it's Carrie and Mark's biggest spend.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53So it was £125.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56If it sells for 1,000, we might win.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59If it sells for 1,000, I'll give you the money myself.
0:52:59 > 0:53:00£100 I am bid.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03- Oh. - Well done, Mark.
0:53:03 > 0:53:04110 anywhere?
0:53:04 > 0:53:06Come on.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09110 anywhere? 110. 120 on my book.
0:53:09 > 0:53:10120 on my book.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13- One more.- 125 in the room.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15A voice at the back.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18- We broke even.- Come on.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20Selling for £125.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23- It's a disaster. - That could have been a lot worse.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26That could have been a lot worse.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29That's it, Mark, stay on the positive side, mate.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31Maybe a change of scenery will alter your luck.
0:53:31 > 0:53:33The auction moves through to another space
0:53:33 > 0:53:35for the rest of the lots,
0:53:35 > 0:53:37and here comes Barry to shake things up.
0:53:37 > 0:53:39Wakey-wakey! Ten.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41It's fast and furious.
0:53:41 > 0:53:42Certainly is.
0:53:42 > 0:53:4412, £15, 15.
0:53:44 > 0:53:46Time for David's camera.
0:53:46 > 0:53:495, 5, I'm bid a 5, let's see 8,
0:53:49 > 0:53:5110 again, 12, I'll do it at 12.
0:53:51 > 0:53:5415, 18, 18, 20, at 20, 20.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57Up the top at £20. Quickly, at £20.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59That's your first loss.
0:53:59 > 0:54:00It feels horrible, right?
0:54:00 > 0:54:02- Yes.- It does, doesn't it?
0:54:02 > 0:54:04It feels really like someone's punched you.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06It's certainly not pleasant.
0:54:06 > 0:54:10The first loss for David and Will in double-quick time. Stand by.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13David, I just wish you'd bought all the lots.
0:54:13 > 0:54:14We should have trusted you.
0:54:16 > 0:54:19Right, Mark and Carrie need to make a comeback.
0:54:19 > 0:54:22Next is their equestrian lot. Good luck, chaps.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25Your start for that one, 30, £40.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27At 5, I'm bidding 5, 5 and 8, 8 and 10,
0:54:27 > 0:54:2910, 12, bid at 12.
0:54:29 > 0:54:3015 and 18, 18 and 20.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33I'm feeling for you, I'm feeling for you.
0:54:33 > 0:54:3625, 25, 28, 28. 28, 30, at 30, 32.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38Someone's going to pay a tenner each for them.
0:54:38 > 0:54:3938, 38, come on.
0:54:39 > 0:54:41Not going to get over 50.
0:54:41 > 0:54:44At 50, come on, don't joke it off.
0:54:44 > 0:54:46Shake it off.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48One at the back, quickly, at £50.
0:54:48 > 0:54:52Someone has grabbed a fantastic deal for those plaques,
0:54:52 > 0:54:55leaving Carrie and Mark with another loss.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57Listen, you could give the boar's head away
0:54:57 > 0:54:59and we'd still lose.
0:54:59 > 0:55:02- Yeah, that's true. - I can't believe that.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04It's not over yet.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07Boris, your time has come.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09The boar's head.
0:55:09 > 0:55:10It's good, isn't it?
0:55:10 > 0:55:11It's rubbish.
0:55:11 > 0:55:15Your start, 60, £70. A tenner. A tenner bid, 10, 15, 15, 20.
0:55:15 > 0:55:1625, 25, 30.
0:55:16 > 0:55:17Keep going, keep going.
0:55:17 > 0:55:2150, I've got on my book, at £50, 60, 60, 70.
0:55:21 > 0:55:22That's it. 80, 90.
0:55:22 > 0:55:24£90, 90. £90, 90.
0:55:24 > 0:55:25Come on! Oh, go on!
0:55:25 > 0:55:27On the shelf at 90. Are you all done?
0:55:27 > 0:55:29Round it up to 100.
0:55:30 > 0:55:33- Oh. We got away with that, just. - We did.
0:55:33 > 0:55:37Despite some gentle encouragement from auctioneer Barry,
0:55:37 > 0:55:39it's still a loss for the boar.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42Can I just say, it was only when he got to 90
0:55:42 > 0:55:47I realised he wasn't saying "17, 18, 19".
0:55:47 > 0:55:49Well, pay attention,
0:55:49 > 0:55:53because it's your combined agricultural lot next.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56At £15, and 15, and £15, 15, 18, 18, 18.
0:55:56 > 0:55:58Stop bidding.
0:55:58 > 0:56:0018, you're quick, at 18, 20.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02You going to go your age?
0:56:02 > 0:56:0621. 22. 22, 4, 24.
0:56:06 > 0:56:08- Creeping up. - 26, 28, 28...
0:56:08 > 0:56:10Put that gavel down.
0:56:10 > 0:56:13- At £30. - It's 30, everything is at 30.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16- No, stop it! - £30, away from you, quick, £30.
0:56:16 > 0:56:17You were lucky.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19Yeah, but it's still a loss.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24- Have we got anything left? - Yeah, you've got your chair.
0:56:24 > 0:56:27Which needs to make about £400 to catch up.
0:56:27 > 0:56:30It's our final lot of the day.
0:56:30 > 0:56:34Never before has so much rested on such a little chair.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Right, I have bids on the book.
0:56:36 > 0:56:38One of £4.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41- Oh! - Send them home, Barry.
0:56:41 > 0:56:434 I'm bid, 4, 4 and 6, 6 and 8, 8,
0:56:43 > 0:56:448 and 10.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46He wasn't joking.
0:56:46 > 0:56:4818, 20, 22. 22, 22.
0:56:48 > 0:56:51- Come on.- 25. 28.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53Come on! 30!
0:56:53 > 0:56:56- Come on, at £30. - No more, he says, no more.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59Get in, quick, at £30...
0:56:59 > 0:57:02- I think we've been just so unlucky today.- Rubbish.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04You made a profit.
0:57:05 > 0:57:08Yes, a second profit of the day for Carrie and Mark,
0:57:08 > 0:57:10but is it enough?
0:57:10 > 0:57:12Time to do the maths.
0:57:15 > 0:57:18Carrie and Mark started off with £400 and, after auction costs,
0:57:18 > 0:57:22made a loss of £132.82,
0:57:22 > 0:57:27leaving a total of £286.18.
0:57:27 > 0:57:28Lovely couple, aren't they?
0:57:29 > 0:57:32David and Will also began with £400.
0:57:32 > 0:57:34After saleroom costs are deducted, they too made a loss,
0:57:34 > 0:57:37albeit a smaller one of £42.30.
0:57:37 > 0:57:43So after a final total of £357.70, they are today's winners.
0:57:43 > 0:57:44Cheer up!
0:57:44 > 0:57:46Humble in victory.
0:57:46 > 0:57:48- Never.- Never!
0:57:48 > 0:57:50- But we're winners in life. - We're winners in life.
0:57:50 > 0:57:53- Off you go. - I've never celebrated losing before.
0:57:53 > 0:57:55- Get in the car. - Come on then, Carrie.
0:57:55 > 0:57:56- Well done, Will. - Cheers, Mark.
0:57:56 > 0:57:58It's been good fun, mate. Listen, David,
0:57:58 > 0:58:00- make the most of it, won't you? - I will.
0:58:00 > 0:58:02- Make the most of it. - Thank you.
0:58:02 > 0:58:05I am never going to forget this, you know that, don't you?
0:58:05 > 0:58:07That's it, Carrie. Humble in victory,
0:58:07 > 0:58:09gracious in defeat.
0:58:10 > 0:58:12Would you ever go to an auction again?
0:58:12 > 0:58:15Oh, yeah, I loved it, it's so exciting.
0:58:15 > 0:58:17- Course you did.- I tell you what's even better, though.
0:58:17 > 0:58:20- What?- Having lunch. Shall we find a pub and have one?
0:58:20 > 0:58:22- Yeah - winner pays? - No, loser pays.
0:58:22 > 0:58:25- Winner pays. - Oh, all right, I'll pay.
0:58:25 > 0:58:26Cheerio!
