0:00:02 > 0:00:03The nation's favourite celebrities...
0:00:03 > 0:00:04Ooh, I like that.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06..paired up with an expert...
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Oh, we've had some fun, haven't we?
0:00:07 > 0:00:08..and a classic car.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10It feels as if it could go quite fast.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Their mission - to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14CONCERTINA NOTE
0:00:14 > 0:00:15- Yes!- Fantastic.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16I'll do that in slow-mo.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction...
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Come on, boys!
0:00:20 > 0:00:22..but it's no easy ride.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Ta-da!
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Who will find a hidden gem?
0:00:25 > 0:00:26"Go on, sell me!"
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Who 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 > 0:00:36Yes!
0:00:36 > 0:00:38..and valiant losers.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Put your pedal to the metal - this is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Yeah!
0:00:54 > 0:00:57On today's show, we have a pair of culinary masters of cuisine -
0:00:57 > 0:00:59the red-hot and spicy chefs
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Tony Singh
0:01:01 > 0:01:03and Cyrus Todiwala.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05I want to find a Ming vase.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Oh, well, actually, I'm not really bothered,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10as long as I don't drop a Ming vase or anything like that.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Yes.- That's it. I'm a bit clumsy, and that's the thing.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- A bit clumsy.- Well, I've got butter-fingers too.- Oh.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18We'll need to keep an eye on you two, then.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Edinburgh-born Tony
0:01:22 > 0:01:25has worked at some of the most prestigious restaurants in Scotland
0:01:25 > 0:01:27and has been in the industry for over 20 years.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32The award-winning chefs are firm friends.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34They've appeared on many TV cooking shows -
0:01:34 > 0:01:37even guest-presenting much-loved foodie hit...
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- BOTH:- This is Saturday Kitchen Live.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Turmeric, salt, coconut milk...
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Some spring onions. Turmeric.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Cumin, coriander...
0:01:45 > 0:01:47bit of garam masala...
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Cyrus moved from Mumbai to London over 20 years ago.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55The critically acclaimed chef is an award-winning restaurateur
0:01:55 > 0:01:59who has a respected following amongst royalty and celebrities.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06The gourmet gastronomes have the unusual 1977 Aston Martin Lagonda
0:02:06 > 0:02:08to zip around the countryside in.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- It's lovely.- Seriously.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I like this. I like the whole trim.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- The feel, yeah.- It's the '70s, eh?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18It's like a passion wagon.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Passion wagon?!
0:02:21 > 0:02:25The great chums each have a bag of money totalling £400...
0:02:27 > 0:02:30..and Tony is serious about his antiques mission.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Well, we've always been on the same side.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32- Yeah.- It's always been fun...
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Yeah.- ..but now the gloves come off, I say.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Er...
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yeah, I'm not very happy with that.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Why? But it'll be fun.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I can promise you that.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Today's antiques experts are the beautiful Natasha Raskin
0:02:46 > 0:02:50and the - mm - fragrant David Harbour.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I bet with your look, people often say, "Why do I know that guy?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55"Is he a rock star? Is he a musician?"
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- And then the... - And then it dawns on them -
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- "Oh, he's just that antiques guy!" - You know, bizarrely,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01they often think I'm a TV chef.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02It's weird, isn't it?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04It is.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11Natasha and David have the rather grand 1977 Jaguar XJC.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Natasha is getting to grips with some tropical temperatures.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16- It's hot in here.- It is hot.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Are these 1970s cars always so warm?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23The reason why is because most 1970s cars' electric windows don't work.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Oh, right, OK.- The electric windows don't work.- That's true, yeah!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Yeah.- As long as you can get us there and we don't cook.- Yeah.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine, Natasha.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Meanwhile, over in the big, manly Aston Martin...
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I love the passion.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41It's like the chefs that work for you -
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- your specialists, the sous chef... - Yeah.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44The passion they have rubs off on you
0:03:44 > 0:03:46and it makes you want to see other things.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- That's what you're looking for. - They're much keener.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I'll tell you what, we are excitable characters,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- so we get excited when we see things.- Mm-hm.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I hope they have the same kind of excitement and enthusiasm.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Don't worry, gents,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59we have the finest of television professionals for you.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01It just occurred to me as I told you that...
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Oh, my gosh. You're meant to be good at this!
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Crikey, Moses!
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Our adventure begins in the city of Dundee,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17moving south along the east coast,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19taking in the Fife town of Anstruther
0:04:19 > 0:04:21before finally landing at an auction
0:04:21 > 0:04:23in the village of Rosewell in Midlothian...
0:04:25 > 0:04:26..and it's time to meet up.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Oh, my gosh, they're in an Aston Martin Lagonda!- Oh!
0:04:30 > 0:04:31HE WHISTLES
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Oh, they're nice and relaxed.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- It's huge! - Oh, my gosh, thank you very much.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Hello!- Ah!- Look at you two!
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- What do we have here? - Do we refer to you as "Chef"?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- TONY:- You can if you want shouted at, it's OK.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Do you need a hand out, Chef?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Cyrus, Chef.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48- How are you, sir?- Very well.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Great delight to meet too. - Nice to meet you, Cyrus.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51- How are you?- How are you?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Very good to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Hello, Tony. How are you? - I love your shoes.- Oh, thank you!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Look at this. Look at this.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Oh, my God.- Oh, how was that drive? - Aston Martin.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00It's a tank, eh?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01- It's a tank? - It is a tank.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- We can go right through them. - Oh, yeah?!
0:05:03 > 0:05:04I think I've got a bit of competition
0:05:04 > 0:05:05on the fashion stage here.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I was going to be the peacock - what's this?!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10There does seem to be a bit of a red theme.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11- Well, this is it.- Shall we...
0:05:11 > 0:05:12What car are we going to have?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I'm very happy with it - you want to drive that one?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16I would love to drive this one.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- OK, then. We'll go with that one. - Are you sure? Are you sure?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Yeah.- Thank God. Sounds good to me!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Come on, you lot, get a wriggle on.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Antiques won't buy themselves, you know.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Go, go!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Ha-ha! See you later.- Suckers!
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Wow, my gosh, lively.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- What's it got, lively?- Lively.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Let's saddle up, then, with Tony and Natasha.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Antique shops, auctions, charity shops...
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I just like... I'm a rummager.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43This is not uncharted territory for you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- Nah.- You know exactly what you're doing...
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I was just kidding on to Cyrus cos I want to beat him.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49"I've never been to a charity shop in my life."
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- You've been telling him you're a novice.- Porkies.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Yeah, it's terrible.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Sneaky, Tony.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Meanwhile, Cyrus is giving David a lesson in the Indian haggle.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Indians will nod their head like that,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02so you have to understand whether that's a yes or a no.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- But it's still a...a shake of the head.- It's still a nod.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Because here you will have two nods.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- One is yes, or one is no.- Yeah.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12The Indian will go like that and like that, you know?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14And what does that mean?
0:06:14 > 0:06:15So, this is no...
0:06:15 > 0:06:17and that is OK, you know?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19No! This is brilliant.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20It's a little bit more crazy.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Interesting.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Our gang are all sharing the first shop.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Look out, Clepington Antiques.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Cyrus and David are first to arrive.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Oh, man.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Shall we cut in front of them? - They must have known a short cut.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38A very common Jaguar.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Hello!- Ah, Mr Singh is here.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Yes, yes, yes. We're in first.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Yes, David. Well done.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47This looks big enough, though, for everyone.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Eee, look at that!
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Huh!
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Right, OK, here we go.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Let's go.- Are you ready? - Let's do it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Feeling confident?- Oh, yeah.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59But I'm liking the look of this.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Glad to hear it. It used to be a dairy farm, don't you know?
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Crikey.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08So you really do come from a real trading heritage, don't you?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Very much so.- Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13But you could buy a pin, and you could order a Wells Fargo truck
0:07:13 > 0:07:15or a Rolls-Royce from my grandfather's shop.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- No way.- Yes.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I think Cyrus's trading experience
0:07:21 > 0:07:24will prove to be invaluable on this trip, don't you?
0:07:25 > 0:07:26So, you said you liked small things.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Yeah, smaller things, because they can fit more into a house.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Otherwise, bigger things do not have a place in a small house.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- That's why small.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38But small things, also, for me, are a mark of craftsmanship.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Yes, OK. OK.- For instance, that one looks real class.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43OK. That is a very stylish thing.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Very stylish. Date-wise, what are you thinking?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I think '50s, '60s, maybe.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Yeah. A definite nod towards Art Deco.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Now, where's dealer Jim to talk money?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57OK, so do we...?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Can you do us a deal on the glass?
0:08:00 > 0:08:01I don't know about that, er...
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I can only try. Is it priced?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Well, let me just show you the one that we're looking at.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Right. Right. Oh, aye.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10A piece of art glass, aye.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11A piece of art glass.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14See, there's nae price on that. I'd be lost.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I mean, there it could have 20 quid, I'd say, "Och, £2."
0:08:16 > 0:08:18All right. OK, OK.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Shall we go with £2, then?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Well... I'm happy with £2.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Hey?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Are you happy? £2? - Shall we go for £2?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- What do you think?- Well, I think you couldn't get much cheaper than £2.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Too right, David.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Well, actually, here's me, you know, just agreeing.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Do you want to... Do you want to do your spice bartering?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Well, I'll tell you why, because, I mean,
0:08:39 > 0:08:40somebody buying it back from us...
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- OK.- ..might look at the chip there and the little chip there
0:08:43 > 0:08:46and might say, no, I'll drop the value down further.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50So maybe if you get it slightly cheaper,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52we might be able to sell it off at a...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55So, hang on, slightly cheaper than £2?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Yes.- OK. OK, this is good.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58- Right. OK.- Which is £1.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- I bet you're pleased we've arrived(!)- Oh, aye.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Well, that's not my stuff, so I'm quite happy anyway.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06£1, then. That's £1, anyway.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Have we gone down to £1 now?!
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Oh, aye. Aye, £1. - Over to you, Cyrus.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12So it's down to £1. Big spender.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Have we done it?- Yeah, I think we'll take it for £1.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Do we do a certain nod?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- We do a nod, yeah. - Oh, marvellous, we've done it!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Marvellous. Thank you very much.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23We've done it. £1. OK...
0:09:23 > 0:09:26What's just happened there, then? Hah!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29One solitary pound for the 1960s glass vase.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Well, I never did. Cyrus is one tough negotiator.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36What about over in the other camp?
0:09:36 > 0:09:37- So, these are slides, aren't they? - Yeah.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39These are family photographs. Slides.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Oops-a-daisy. Dear, oh, dear.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Oh, my God.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Yes. Bulletproof ones.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47They're still intact, which is amazing.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Yeah. Let's move away quickly from here, I think.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53What's your method in the shop?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Are you going to go...? - I have never got a method.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56I just rummage.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- I mean, is that something that you're into?- Look at that. Wow.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Old-fashioned fire extinguisher.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Now, that's quite cool.- Is that...? Is that quite cool?- Isn't it?- Yeah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05What is that for? Now, I have no idea what that's for.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06That's... That's not...
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Is that a welding thing? - Should we ask about it?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10We should, actually. That's quite cool.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Because that's quite a cool bit of kit, too.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13And it's different, yeah.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Time to call over proprietor Derek.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- We've got sprayer or extinguisher. - Extinguisher...
0:10:18 > 0:10:20We thought it was a welder, but it's only one tank.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I personally think it's a sprayer.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23It's got all those different nozzles.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Yeah, but it's army, so we think...
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Oh, it is? OK. So, all right.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29There's an arrow on there, showing it's...
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- I couldn't see the arrow. - Where's the arrow?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- We couldn't see it. - We couldn't see the arrow.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Oh, look, there it is there. - See? We tried to find that.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40So it's from 1960, and it's a Four Oaks spraying machine.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42In fact, it's the Four Oaks Spraying Machine Company Limited.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44That's correct.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Oh, yes, the Four Oaks Spraying Machine Company was founded in 1902,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51based in the Midlands, they manufactured a range of products
0:10:51 > 0:10:52that were originally used
0:10:52 > 0:10:55for both agricultural and domestic purposes, don't you know?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57And what would it be used to spray?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Anything?- I really do not know.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Maybe it was for fields.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02What kind of money's in that?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I think he had 140 on it, but I could ask him.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Yeah, OK.- So this isn't your stock?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11This isn't my stock. This is another...
0:11:11 > 0:11:12- Oh.- OK.- Right, OK.- ..dealer's.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I wouldn't buy at 140.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- What were you thinking? - I'd say 90 quid.
0:11:17 > 0:11:1990 quid not still a bit dangerous?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Tony and Natasha decide to offer £70...
0:11:22 > 0:11:25and Derek has managed to get an answer.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Well, I was talking to the dealer.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30He says, "I think you're being a bit cheeky on the 70."
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- I see. I thought that. - But he says he'll do it for £90.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- OK.- Mmm.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- OK.- That could still be...
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- It could still be a goer. - I think that could be a goer.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40- It could be a goer?- Yeah.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42You'd have to get pumped up, though, wouldn't you?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44While Tony and Natasha have a think,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46someone's got a voice like a fog horn.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- DAVID:- So, hang on, a military garden-sprayer?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I don't know what they'd use it for.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I've never come across a military garden-sprayer.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- They're actually talking about the sprayer.- Oh, come on.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56That's David's voice.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58He's so loud I can hear him talking about the sprayer.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Right, let's go. Go, go, go. Look.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01- 'It's military...' - Aye, see?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- Excuse us!- Did you see our sprayer?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Sorry to interrupt. Hello.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06- Hi, there.- Hello.- What's that?
0:12:06 > 0:12:07This sprayer we're going to buy.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09You're not buying that, Chef.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10You have no use for that.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I like the smell of the kerosene oil in there.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Is it kerosene? I was wondering what it is.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- What are you going to do with that? - Have you bought it, Tash?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Yes, we have.- Oh. Oh, well.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21There was a wink there. There was a wink there.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- I did notice that...- Hang on.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24- Do it again. - What?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- The wink. - Yes, we've got that.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Are you the owner of the item?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- OK, well...- Sorry, we came first to the owner of the item.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32- How much is it? - No, it was another one...
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I think we were first to...
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Uh-oh, this could get messy.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Is this going to come down to who makes the best offer?
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- Yeah.- Well, we were told it could actually be £90.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44That's the wrong way. It doesn't work like that.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Yeah, well, hang on, you don't know Jim.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I know Jim. Right, Jim?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Jim, shake on it.- No, no, no...
0:12:51 > 0:12:53What, what, what, what's all this going on here?
0:12:53 > 0:12:54What are you thinking about?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56It's chef wars!
0:12:57 > 0:12:58And now Derek's joining in.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59How can you buy that?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01What about a fresh offer, then?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03No, no, no, we were here first. £100.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- There you go.- Well, that's it. - £100. A C-note.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Cash, £100.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09So that's your bid? £100?
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Cyrus?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Well, I could match that, but it depends what...
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Only one way to settle it.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Heads I win, tails he loses.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Ah, we've fallen for that one before.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19- All right, heads. - Heads.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21- Ready? - Go.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- It's heads.- Yay!
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Thank you, Chef.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Wow, that was tense.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30There you go.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34The Four Oaks spraying machine for £100, then,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36for Tony and Natasha.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39This doesn't faze Cyrus and David.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41They've got their eye on something else.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Mantelpiece clock.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I quite like that, actually. That's a bit of a novelty clock.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Made in England. And a light on the top.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50It is quite cool. It's a bit twee, isn't it?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- And it's Bakelite.- Yeah.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Which is sort of stylish.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57And knowing Jimmy, it's going to be so cheap it's unbelievable.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Yeah, I think he's in a good, good mood today.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05So, I mean, Bakelite is actually a very sought-after material,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07because it has its own unique look.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Yeah, it's had its day...
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Yeah, it's dirty.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Not very many of these clocks were made
0:14:12 > 0:14:14for the simple reason they weren't terribly popular.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16What sort of money is it, Jim?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I don't... What's the price on the bottom?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22The price on the bottom says £20, but the zero's been rubbed off.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Are you sure? - So shall we take it as £2?
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Cyrus!
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Fiver.- A fiver, a fiver.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Four quid. Four.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- What do you think?- I don't know, but he just keeps coming down.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Eventually he'll get down to one. - That's £16 off. Good trade price.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Give... Give him ten seconds, he'll go down another pound.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42- What, something that... - Three quid, that's it.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- See? I told you.- Three quid, that's it.- That's five seconds.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47No, wait, wait, wait... That was five seconds.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Give him another five seconds. Just look at him. Jim...
0:14:51 > 0:14:54What did I say, three quid?
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Two quid.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57It's brilliant! It's brilliant.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I don't know whether I have the heart to do it again.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00No, you can't do it again.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02No? OK. Jim, thank you very much.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03- That's all right.- Thank you, sir.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05You're brilliant. I love you. You're fantastic.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Gosh, this is unusual -
0:15:07 > 0:15:10and Cyrus is proving to be the negotiator of the year.
0:15:10 > 0:15:16£2 - cor - for the Art Deco Bakelite lamp-cum-clock.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Over now to Tony and Natasha.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Now... Can you play that?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Er, no, but I'll give it a bash. Can I play it?
0:15:24 > 0:15:25HE PLAYS TUNELESSLY
0:15:28 > 0:15:30I need a basket.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32That's good. Good. That's good.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Hold on, that's terrible.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Where's the snake?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Now, back to business. What's this?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I've never seen one like that.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42So it works to warm your brandy...
0:15:42 > 0:15:45You literally put the brandy in it, and - do you know what it does?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47It also stops you from drinking too much at a time,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49because you have to have it at an angle.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Too much, it would just flip out. - Fall out, catch fire.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52So, one measure, you lay it over the flame,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- which is light, some oil in there...- Yeah.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- And it just gently heats the brandy. - Warms it.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59But see that aroma when it comes out, it's just...
0:15:59 > 0:16:00So, it's so much fun,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03because it's almost as if, if this were to start evaporating,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05it would be like the steam coming out of the train.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06- Yeah.- That's a quirky little thing.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I think... I think people would go wild for that.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I think we'll get a deal on it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Only one way to find out.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Oh, Derek?
0:16:13 > 0:16:14- You've got your lines.- Derek.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Hi, there.- Right, we'd like to buy the get-rich express
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- that you've got in the room next door.- The what?- The what?!
0:16:21 > 0:16:23The what?!
0:16:23 > 0:16:26The choo-choo train with the brandy-warming cup.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28That's the technical term.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31The ticket price is £10. Stand by.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35All right. Once... Once only, £5.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37We're thinking £4 or £3.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Gee-whiz.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41He's like Cyrus.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43How long have you had it for there, Derek?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45About three weeks.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47See, it's not going to go anywhere, eh?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- It's stuck on the tracks. - It's there.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50It's stuck on the tracks.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53You know what I mean? If it was a fast-mover, now it would be gone.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- You know what I mean? Gone. - OK, you can have it for £4.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Right, done. Excellent.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58- It's a deal.- It's a deal. - Oh, brilliant.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Derek, thank you so much.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03That's the novelty brandy-warmer for £4.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05But Tony's not finished yet.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Is that the Catering Corps?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Yes.- I thought it was!
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Is that what that is?- Yeah, just caught the corner of my eye.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14OK. So, are these little shoulder badges, these wee epaulettes?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Well, might be this one's a cap badge, eh?
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Yeah, they're cap badges.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Oh, they're super cute.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20British Army Catering Corps.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22It's just... I don't have a clue.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Are these wheat sheaves on the top?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Well, that's flames and that's the pot Mark 1 stove.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30But that's the thing, eh - an army marches on its stomach,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33so we are the most important people in the army, are the chefs.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Oh, of course!
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Yup, easy mistake, Tony.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40This is actually the Royal Artillery emblem, and is a bomb with flames,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43rather than the Catering Corps' pot.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Still, it's a collectable, nevertheless.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Wow.- I'll make it easy for you - £2 for the pair.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Two quid?- I don't know.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55It's up to you. I mean, we're not playing much of a risky game.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58We've got one for four and then another for two.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Yeah, go on, then. Two quid, there you go.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Did that just happen? - Yeah, it's just happened.- OK!
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Thank you very much indeed. - I'm going to need your advice
0:18:05 > 0:18:07when it comes to cataloguing these, because...
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Yeah, I'm going to have to check up. - You're going to have to educate me.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11And in case I was completely wrong...
0:18:11 > 0:18:12It only cost us two quid!
0:18:12 > 0:18:13- There you go.- So that's OK.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15It's a winner. Silver linings and all that.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Thank goodness for that.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21That makes a grand total of three items for £106.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Back to Cyrus and David.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Can they splash a bit more of their cash?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28They've spent £3 on two items so far.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32So, what do you have here, sir, that could be interesting?
0:18:32 > 0:18:33A nice little Mouseman stool.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- I like that, actually. - Do you like that?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Tell me why you like that, Cyrus.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38I like that. I like that for a couple of reasons.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40One, there is... The finish is good.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Yeah.- And I like the mouse.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I like the mouse. Let's...
0:18:46 > 0:18:47That reminds me of school.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Oh, does it? Tell me why.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Yeah, because, you know,
0:18:51 > 0:18:52you had stuff like that,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55and we always ended up breaking them.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57And do you know who made it?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59No, I wouldn't have a clue.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02OK. But you spotted it from feet away,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04because it was great quality and you like the mouse.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- And the mouse...- Yeah, because, see the grain on the wood?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Once you touch it, it talks a language.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Impressive, eh?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14This was made by a company very close to where I live
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- called Robert Thompson of Kilburn. - Really?- Yes.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Mouseman furniture.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23He is famous worldwide.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28They are known for their exquisite pieces of basic furniture,
0:19:28 > 0:19:33each carved with a unique individual mouse.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Really?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Mr Jim.- Hello, Chef - sir.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41What do you think? Five bucks, four bucks, three bucks, two bucks?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- One?- It's one of the other traders'...- Sorry?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45It's one of the other traders' stools.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46I think he's got 110 on it.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- 110.- 110?- I think so.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50It needs to be 80 quid.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Really?- I... I feel.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55To buy from Mr Jim?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Yeah.- It depends if there's anything else you're interested in...
0:19:58 > 0:19:59- Ah.- We could do a package, a package.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01What is it? Like a buy one get one free, Jim, is it?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Don't bother.- No?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Listen, don't push your luck, David.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07But, encouraged by a combo deal...
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- That looked interesting. - OK. Tell me why.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Now, I mean, old-fashioned...
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Yeah.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Well, you've hit the nail on the head right there.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18It's old-fashioned.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Birmingham - and we have the letter E,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22which gives us the date of...
0:20:22 > 0:20:23- Jim...- Dates...
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I don't know, the '20s is some...
0:20:25 > 0:20:26'25, '26?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- '27.- Is it?- 1927.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Look at how beautifully it is made.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Salt, because it's got a glass bowl inside.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36- I think that's pepper.- Yeah.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- That's mustard, I think.- Mustard.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Absolutely perfect. - So it's a cruet set.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44It is - in its own original presentation box.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48The original ticket price on the Mouseman stool is £110,
0:20:48 > 0:20:53and the silver cruet set is priced at 80, totalling £190 for both.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- For me, that needs to be... - We are hoping
0:20:56 > 0:20:58that you'll do us a fabulous deal on this one.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I think, with Cyrus's permission, the bid is 120.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Do you want to speak to the owner?
0:21:03 > 0:21:04That goes over above...
0:21:04 > 0:21:05A little over budget.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I'll have a word. Just give us a minute.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10So, Jim goes to have a quick chat with the dealer
0:21:10 > 0:21:11on the combo deal for the two items.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- You're all right. - So, we are all right? Sir?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Yeah.- It's all in your hands.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19It's all or nothing. We walk out with this.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I'm on for it, myself.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- All right, then.- You've got it. - If you're on for it, then...
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- Thank you very much.- ..I'm up for it.- I'm on for it.- Thank you.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Take care.- Thank you.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Well, this is certainly a day for unique haggling -
0:21:29 > 0:21:32a bumper haul of four lots for £138.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Meanwhile, it's hotting up in the Jag.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38It's boiling. It's boiling!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41You must be boiling in your denim kilt.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43It's got its built-in ventilation, it's OK.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Thank you - that's enough information. Thank you, Chef.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Quite!
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Tony and Natasha are heading from Dundee's rural suburbs
0:21:52 > 0:21:54into the city centre.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Towards the end of the Victorian era,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Scotland was a powerhouse of production,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01but it was right here in Dundee
0:22:01 > 0:22:05that the phenomenal boom of the natural fibre from India
0:22:05 > 0:22:10would prove to be so versatile it would become a global essential.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15When the first bales of jute were unloaded at Dundee's docks in 1820,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19nobody could predict the magnitude of its success.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Tony and Natasha have an appointment at Verdant Works,
0:22:24 > 0:22:28one of the 150 mills once involved in jute production,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31and which helped to change the city's destiny forever.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Tony is passionate about his Indian heritage,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38and wants to find out more about the plant grown
0:22:38 > 0:22:41in the Indian subcontinent that in the 19th century
0:22:41 > 0:22:44made Dundee the jute capital of the world.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Education officer Brian Kelly is the man with the answers.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Lots of things sort of came together at that time.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53First of all, Dundee was already producing linen from flax...
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- OK.- ..at that time, so they had the mills and they had the workers.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Dundee was also a whaling port,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01and it turned out that whale oil was really good for softening jute.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Mm!- That was really the breakthrough
0:23:03 > 0:23:05that allowed the jute to be produced on a large scale in Dundee.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Jute is one of the most versatile fibres known to man,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13and can be spun into coarse, strong threads
0:23:13 > 0:23:15to make a multitude of products cheaply,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19including durable and strong sacking.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21You can see how far it travels, from Dundee all around the world.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- So it was everything... - Australia, everything.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Yup. You'd have, sort of, wool from Australia,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27you'd have spices from the Far East,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30grain from South America, cotton from the US.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32All these things were transported in jute bags
0:23:32 > 0:23:33that were sent out from Dundee.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Dundee cornered the jute market, and in the 19th century,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40the city had more millionaires than anywhere in Britain -
0:23:40 > 0:23:42if not the whole of Europe.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47But with huge riches, there was also a high degree of poverty.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49A huge population rise during the 19th century,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52at the beginning of the jute boom, round about the 1850s,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55the population of Dundee was maybe round about 60,000 to 70,000.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58By the start of the 20th century, that was up to almost 170,000.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Wow.- So you had all these people moving into the city and...
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- Problems, yeah.- The living conditions were very, very cramped.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- A small number of rooms per family, so...- Mmm.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08It was a high population centre, but...
0:24:08 > 0:24:09but not a great place to live.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15The recently restored High Mill was built in 1833.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Tony and Natasha are getting a bird's eye view
0:24:18 > 0:24:21of what it would once have looked like.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22This is amazing.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25It's massive. It's a grand hall.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27But was this the main production area or...?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Yeah, this... The High Mill here
0:24:29 > 0:24:30is where the machinery was in Verdant Works
0:24:30 > 0:24:32when it was a working factory.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- So there were three floors of machines in here.- Right.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36So it was a very, very bustling factory.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39There were 500 people worked here at its height.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Conditions improved for workers,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44but the mill owners looked for a cheaper labour market,
0:24:44 > 0:24:49and eventually managers and machinery moved to India itself.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Even by 1900, for example,
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Calcutta was overtaking Dundee in the production of jute.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57As the 20th century went on, it just continued to decline,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01and then, by the 1970s, practically everything was gone in Dundee.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07Time now to walk in the footsteps of the Dundonians who once worked here.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Right, so this is it.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11This is where you would have started your day in the jute house.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- All right, Tash, clock in.- OK.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17- "When I was a lad..." - Oh, look at that!
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- "This is what I did."- Right.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22So I'm in. Thank you.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- Right. I'm following you, Chef. - Let's go. Chop chop.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27In the 1950s,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Lily Thomson was clocking in to this very factory
0:25:30 > 0:25:32when she was just a young girl.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36I left school on a Friday, and I went into that on the Monday.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I didn't have a clue what we were going to be.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Were you nervous? - Yes, cos we were only 15.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- Uh-huh.- You heard the mills and you talked about the mills,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- but you never saw what they looked like inside.- Right.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51But you didn't wait long to get wakened up.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55The loud, clattering machines made it very difficult to hear.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Workers developed their own way of communicating.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Can you give us a little bit of sign language, then?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05What did things mean? A man in the brown coat came in...
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Uh-huh, so that'd be a foreman, yeah?
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Or you would just go...
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- "Oi!"- A beard man. - "Beardy's coming!"
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- "Beardy's coming." - It wouldn't be Beardy...!
0:26:15 > 0:26:16- "Foreman's coming." - "Foreman's coming."
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Man in white coat, the manager, the same thing.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21"Oi!"
0:26:21 > 0:26:22- "Top man."- "Top man."
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- White man.- Yeah.- Coat.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25That is fascinating - your own language.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27We are standing in front of the machine
0:26:27 > 0:26:28that you worked since you were 15,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30so, Tony, we've got to see the lady in action.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I can't wait to see the skill. I want to see the action.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36In the early days, women outnumbered men three to one,
0:26:36 > 0:26:40and earned Dundee the nickname of the She Town.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41After six weeks of training,
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Lily would have eventually looked after as many as six machines.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47LOOM CLATTERS
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Now, that's loud!
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- That is loud, eh?- That is so noisy.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59See, the string came off and she just nipped it straight away there?
0:26:59 > 0:27:03I knew how to get the shuttle to stop there every time.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05The once jute capital of the world
0:27:05 > 0:27:08employed over 50,000 people during its peak,
0:27:08 > 0:27:11and saw a triple-fold rise in the population.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14The industry may be long gone,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16but this hard-wearing thread
0:27:16 > 0:27:18provided the solid foundations of success
0:27:18 > 0:27:23and ensured Dundee became a giant of industry on an international scale.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Meanwhile, Cyrus and David are musing over their shopping thus far.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Now, any regrets on the coin toss?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Yeah, 100%, because Tony is always lucky.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Is he?- He gets it every single time.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Maybe he spins some kind of power, you know?
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Maybe he does.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Cyrus and David have travelled west to the city of Perth
0:27:49 > 0:27:51in central Scotland.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Fair City Antiques is next
0:27:53 > 0:27:55on the fellas' hit list for hunting down
0:27:55 > 0:27:57some antiques and plunder.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00OK... Ooh, I say. Hello.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- Hello.- Interesting.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Hello, hello. Hello, hello.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06- I'm David.- Hi, I'm Karen.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07- Karen, hi there.- I'm Max.- Hi.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- Hi, I'm Cyrus.- Nice meeting you. - I'm Karen.- Hi, Karen.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10- I'm Max. - Hi, Max.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11- Hi, Cyrus.- Wow.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13OK, shall we just dive in?
0:28:13 > 0:28:14- You certainly can.- Yeah.- All right.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- Shall we go diving?- Absolutely.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18This isn't a swimming pool, David.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Thank you. Very interesting.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Oh, plenty of potential booty in here, though.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31And like a hunter with its prey, Cyrus has pounced on something.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33That one's got a royal feel to it, doesn't it?
0:28:33 > 0:28:34Yeah, that is a royal feel.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- That is the... - That's like a crest, isn't it?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- A royal crest?- It's the royal coat of arms, isn't it?
0:28:38 > 0:28:40It's the royal coat of arms, yeah.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41- What's it made out of? - There's a crown there.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- Alabaster.- Alabaster, is it?
0:28:43 > 0:28:45So, hand-cut perhaps?
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Absolutely. Absolutely hand-cut.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49But alabaster's a soft stone, so it's quite easy to carve.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51It's almost like soapstone, isn't it?
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Have you never seen this before?
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- So, that is quite a grand thing, isn't it?- Oh, wow.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57OK, look at the carving. Look at the detail.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- So, we have the lion... - Yeah.- ..to the left-hand side.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Then we have the unicorn...
0:29:02 > 0:29:06The royal arms of Scotland have their origins in the 12th century,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09and are still used widely today as a symbol of Scotland.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Now, look at the face itself.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Now, this is an indication as to its age,
0:29:15 > 0:29:19because the alabaster itself is millions of years old.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21When it was carved, we're not sure,
0:29:21 > 0:29:24but I think that sort of style of decoration...
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- Was Art Deco style maybe? - Almost Art Deco-y, yeah.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- I think it's Art Deco-y.- Yeah? Art Deco-y again?
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- It's Art Deco-y.- I do, I do. - Because it is very fancy, isn't it?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Yeah. It's a really interesting thing.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36I think that's 1950s.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40It's a real celebration of royalty, isn't it?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Could be from the coronation time?
0:29:42 > 0:29:44It could be 1953.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48I... I'm intrigued by that.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49I've never seen that before.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53Could be mocked at, at the same time, it could be appreciated.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55You're so right.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58It sports a price tag of £120.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03Manager Max has called the vendor, who is willing to knock £20 off.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06It's 100 quid or nothing.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07What's your gut feeling?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09He'll want it for a fiver.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12My gut feel probably says it might go.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17You, I know, Cyrus, after knowing you only for a few short hours,
0:30:17 > 0:30:19are a real risk taker.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23You really are.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25You know that could make 20 quid.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28But it could make 200.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Yeah, well, that's the fear, isn't it?
0:30:31 > 0:30:36- That's the fear.- But doesn't fear make you feel alive, Cyrus?
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Well, it does. You're drawing me into this, yeah?
0:30:39 > 0:30:40You're drawing me into this.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Come on, make your minds up.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Are we going to do it? Cyrus!
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- What do you think? - Let's take a chance.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- All right, then, let's do it.- Max?
0:30:49 > 0:30:50- All right.- Thank you.- OK.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55Well, Cyrus seems to have calmed down on the tough negotiation front.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57But for how long, I wonder.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00The alabaster mantel clock for £100, then.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01For better or for worse.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03It's pretty good going, that, Cyrus.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05- You think so?- Very well done.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Amazing negotiating.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- Really?- Amazing negotiating.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- I'm hopeless.- Bizarre negotiating!
0:31:12 > 0:31:13But nevertheless, amazing.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Amazing indeed.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I think you should call it a day.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19Nighty-night.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28What's on the menu today, then, for our excitable chefs?
0:31:28 > 0:31:31I think I might get something frivolous.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Yeah, suits your nature, Chef, go for it.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36A mink-trimmed toilet holder or something.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40That's what we'll go for. If I can get one, I'm having one of them.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Hm, not so sure, Tony.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Our experts are swapping notes on yesterday.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52I can't really vocabularise how the negotiating went yesterday.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54But it worked.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Is it sort of loud and brash and just kind of throws fire?
0:31:56 > 0:31:59No, I don't know, it was out of control, but I loved it.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00Yeah, so did we.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Yesterday, our bold and super-confident chefs
0:32:05 > 0:32:08took to the world of antiques like ducks to water.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Cyrus and David bought like there was no tomorrow.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14They've got the 1960s vase,
0:32:14 > 0:32:17the Bakelite mantel clock-cum-lamp combo,
0:32:17 > 0:32:19the Mouseman stool,
0:32:19 > 0:32:20the silver cruet set,
0:32:20 > 0:32:22and the alabaster mantel clock.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26They have £162 left in their wallet.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Tony and Natasha, with the flip of a coin,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30bought the Four Oaks sprayer,
0:32:30 > 0:32:33the novelty choo-choo brandy warmer,
0:32:33 > 0:32:36and the pair of Royal Artillery badges,
0:32:36 > 0:32:40leaving them with a mighty £294 to splash today.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Right, then, chaps, time for everybody to catch up.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- How's it going?- How are you this morning, are you well?
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- Nice to see you.- How are you doing?
0:32:50 > 0:32:51Very well, nice to see you.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53We've been tootling around the countryside.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55I know why you don't want me to drive that car.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- Why?- That thing is great, man.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- Have you been driving it? - Yes.- I love it.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02No wonder you won't let me touch it.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- Am I driving?- No, no, no!
0:33:04 > 0:33:06While Cyrus and David sort themselves out,
0:33:06 > 0:33:08let's follow Tony and Natasha.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12They're making their way
0:33:12 > 0:33:15to the town of South Queensferry in West Lothian.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Tony, we do not need to be tight with purse strings today.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19I say let's go for it.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- But we can haggle?- Oh, sure,
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- I'm not going to stop you from haggling.- That's OK.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Tony loves a bargain.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Did you know, a "sea kist" was a chest
0:33:29 > 0:33:33which held all things dear to a seafarer on his travels?
0:33:33 > 0:33:38Hopefully this pair can find a precious and nautical antique here.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41The shop's called Sea Kist - get it?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Tony, you're already straight in - what have you got?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Half a ship, ship's plan.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48The plans look quite cool, that's a bit different.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50They do look quite cool.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51What have we got? It's for the...
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Oh, it's for the Royal Yacht Britannia.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Funnily enough, I was the first civilian chef
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- on the Royal Yacht Britannia. - So you were!
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- I think we should have a look at that.- OK, let's have a look.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Amazing. But it's priced at £500.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09And even with Tony's magical haggling,
0:34:09 > 0:34:11I think it's best if we maybe move on.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Oh, here we go.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21- Tash?- Yes?- Come and have a look at this, I think I've got something.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23- What have you got?- It's a quacker.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Ha-ha! A pair of novelty bookends.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Oh, I like that.- I tell you what, Tony, you and I get along -
0:34:29 > 0:34:31I have a serious penchant for ducks.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- Yeah, ducks are good. - Especially a mallard.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37They're quite nicely done, they come as a pair.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- It says 28 quid. - We'll have to get a deal on that.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41We'll get a deal on that.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46That's one possible, and Natasha has rooted something else out.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50- Here we have a wee Viking ship.- Yes.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53And we really want this to be Scandinavian silver.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55What we've got is an enamel brooch here.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57I love wee brooches, Tony, I can't deny it.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58See, that looks quite cool.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Everything about this smacks of quality.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- It is.- So, Tony, £55.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05We'll get a deal.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Righty-ho, let's get owner Jenny in to talk cash.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12These, I could let you have 18, how does that sound?
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Sounds pretty tasty.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16- Yeah.- I mean, 15 sounds nicer, that's all I'm saying.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- Just round numbers, yeah. - Round numbers, right,
0:35:18 > 0:35:21yeah, that's easier, right, OK.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- 15 on the ducks. - OK.- OK, that's very generous.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28Your Viking brooch, that could be 40.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30If we say £50 for both of them?
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Oh, I think that's fine, I'm happy with that if you're happy with that.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36£50 the two, so 35 on the brooch.
0:35:36 > 0:35:3935 on the brooch and 15 on the bookends.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40- Yeah.- You're quite relaxed.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45Yes. OK, £50, Jenny, thank you very much, that's a good deal.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49There we go, then, another two items to add to their haul of goodies.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Let's leave them to it for the moment.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Now, how about Cyrus and David?
0:35:57 > 0:35:58Being your partner,
0:35:58 > 0:36:01I want you to win.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03I think we are going to win.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06I feel pretty confident, I don't know what they've bought, but...
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Something is telling me we will win.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12- OK.- OK, we will win, because I think we've got some unique pieces,
0:36:12 > 0:36:14and we haven't squandered our money.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Loving your confidence there, Cyrus.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20The gents have travelled along the east coast
0:36:20 > 0:36:22to the town of St Andrews in Fife.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28They already have five lots from yesterday's mammoth shopping haul,
0:36:28 > 0:36:32but they still have £162 in their road-tripping purse.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Immediately I see cooking utensils.
0:36:37 > 0:36:42- Yeah.- A fantastic Victorian jelly mould. That is fun, isn't it?
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- Look at that.- Isn't it gorgeous?
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- It's gorgeous. - Imagine making jellies in that.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50And the professional chefs still like to use copper.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- Do they? Why?- And when they can get the tinning done,
0:36:53 > 0:36:54they love using copper.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Because copper is always cold.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59It has an amazing way of working with cold things,
0:36:59 > 0:37:00so setting a jelly.
0:37:00 > 0:37:08This will chill faster than aluminium or a coated steel dish.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Imagine that coming on a big plate on the table, and your mum shook it,
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- like that, and lifted it. - MAKES SLURPING NOISE
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- Wow!- And the jelly came out, what a sound.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Good clotted cream, or just fresh cream on the top.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24There's nothing quite like a good jelly sometimes.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25I agree, Cyrus.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28But after a good mooch about,
0:37:28 > 0:37:31the boys decide they don't want to add
0:37:31 > 0:37:33to their already full bag of five lots.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38Meanwhile, Tony and Natasha are still in South Queensferry.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39How much for your destroyer?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41The plastic model?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44That's what I mean, it just doesn't fit with all this great stuff
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- that you've got.- No. - I'll take it off your hands.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49You could do, I could make that £8.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- Oh, Tony!- Yeah.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52- I'll take it.- Tony, Tony! £8?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Honestly.- But it's plastic, that's literally...
0:37:55 > 0:37:59But how will they put it on the block, when they talk about it?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02They will say, this is a plastic toy.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Don't do it, don't do it, Tony.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- No?- Don't do it, don't do it.- Go on.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Go on! OK.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- So, you're saying no?- I'm saying, do what you feel is right.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Yeah, we'll take that.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16TONY LAUGHS
0:38:16 > 0:38:18OK. Really, actually?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Yeah, we'll take that.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Sure, Jenny, that's another sale.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25It's sorted.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Tash, you get the boat, I'll get the quackers, how much are we due you?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31That makes £58 altogether.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Tony, this doesn't bear close inspection.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35It's just a bit...
0:38:37 > 0:38:38It's got a helicopter...
0:38:38 > 0:38:41it's got two helicopters on it, we've won a watch.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42If you say so, Tony.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Yes!
0:38:44 > 0:38:47The mixed bag of the bookends, the brooch
0:38:47 > 0:38:50and the plastic battleship, and Tony's happy.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51We're going to destroy them with that,
0:38:51 > 0:38:53look at it in the daylight!
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Oh, my God.- It looks even worse in the daylight.- It's cracking.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- It's definitely plastic, Tony. - I know it's plastic.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00Enough said.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Let's catch up with the other bunch.
0:39:03 > 0:39:08In the pursuit of food, man has created and man has achieved.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10A sideboard is a beautiful piece of furniture,
0:39:10 > 0:39:12it's made for serving food.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14A dining table for eating.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- Yeah.- My gosh, it's something I'd never really thought about.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Blimey! David's really on the ball today.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27Cyrus and David have travelled to the Fife town of Anstruther,
0:39:27 > 0:39:30or "Ainster", as the locals pronounce it.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31For thousands of years,
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Scotland's east coast has had a long association
0:39:35 > 0:39:37with the fishing industry.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Located in the East Neuk of Fife, Anstruther was one of the busiest
0:39:41 > 0:39:43fishing harbours of the 19th century.
0:39:43 > 0:39:48During this time, as many as 30,000 boats would be fishing for herring
0:39:48 > 0:39:49along the east coast,
0:39:49 > 0:39:53making the Scottish fishing industry the biggest in Europe.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56The beating heart of the fishing trade,
0:39:56 > 0:40:00this town became a leader in innovations in boat design.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02So what is it - Ainstruther?
0:40:02 > 0:40:05- Ainstruther?- Ainster.- Ainster.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Not Anstruther?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Cyrus and David are meeting with former fisherman Davy Todd,
0:40:10 > 0:40:14who is a trustee of the Scottish Fisheries Museum based here.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18Fantastic, you're going to teach us all about the Fife fishing industry?
0:40:18 > 0:40:19- I'll try.- A little bit more.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24This is the type of fishing boat they used 100 years ago.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26- Can we get on it?- Certainly.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- Do they still use it?- Let's do it.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30This is the Reaper.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35At 115 years old, it is a wonderful example of the Fifie boat design
0:40:35 > 0:40:37that, as the name suggests,
0:40:37 > 0:40:40was developed right here in the Kingdom of Fife.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Right, fellas, let's clamber aboard for a better look.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46You can fall on somebody's head, isn't it?
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Well, exactly, we don't want to be doing that, do we?
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Watch you don't get your lemon trousers all mucky, ducky.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53Right...
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Fishing boats were constantly being improved in the 19th century,
0:40:57 > 0:41:02and after a treacherous storm of 1841, when many lives were lost,
0:41:02 > 0:41:05the government placed a ban on all open-deck boats.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Locals developed their own vessel,
0:41:09 > 0:41:13a revolutionary boat that has many unique features.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17So, what was so good then about the design of the Fifie?
0:41:17 > 0:41:19It was wide of beam
0:41:19 > 0:41:23and it had a deep keel, it was very stable.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26The east coast of Scotland mostly was Fifies.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Herring was a delicacy on the Continent
0:41:29 > 0:41:32and could be easily caught along the east coast of Scotland.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35At the peak of the herring boom in 1907,
0:41:35 > 0:41:39two and a half million barrels of fish were cured and exported
0:41:39 > 0:41:42to Germany, Eastern Europe and Russia. Wow!
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Every boat, when it came in and landed, they would take...
0:41:47 > 0:41:50..a scoop full of herring up to the sale ring,
0:41:50 > 0:41:53and that was sold as the quality of the sample.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55And if they were of good quality,
0:41:55 > 0:41:58these barrels had a brand on them with a crown on it,
0:41:58 > 0:42:02and these were the quality fish that were exported.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04The fishing industry supported the whole community
0:42:04 > 0:42:07with women helping to gut the huge loads of herring
0:42:07 > 0:42:11that would arrive at the harbour, hence the term, I guess, fishwives.
0:42:11 > 0:42:16I saw a picture where women have got bandages on their fingers
0:42:16 > 0:42:17- and they're cleaning herring.- Yes.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19What are the those bandages?
0:42:19 > 0:42:21To protect their fingers from being cut.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22Ah, by the...?
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- By the knife.- By the knife?
0:42:25 > 0:42:28By the knife, yeah. They can gut about 30 herring a minute.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30- 30 herring a minute?!- Yeah.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- That's one every two seconds. - My goodness, two seconds a fish.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Their hands flew.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39As the 20th century developed,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42the herring industry gradually disappeared
0:42:42 > 0:42:45and so, too, did the fleets of fishing boats.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49Anstruther may no longer be the busy port it once was,
0:42:49 > 0:42:51but the history of the Anstruther seafarers,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54and their key role in boat development,
0:42:54 > 0:42:58certainly helped the revolution of the fishing industry of today.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01And just before we pack up and leave...
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Are these good fish and chips or what?
0:43:03 > 0:43:06I love the fish, I think it's pretty good.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Not only that, it's fresh as fresh can be.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12You can taste that, you can taste the fish, there's no smell
0:43:12 > 0:43:15- in the fish.- No.- Which is when you know the fish is very fresh.
0:43:15 > 0:43:16- Right.- It doesn't have any smell in it.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18And thanks for bringing me here,
0:43:18 > 0:43:22because now I can prove that Scottish produce is fabulous.
0:43:22 > 0:43:23It is fabulous.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26With all the shopping done and dusted,
0:43:26 > 0:43:29it's time to give one another's buys a good once over.
0:43:30 > 0:43:31How was it, guys?
0:43:31 > 0:43:33- Fabulous.- Wonderful.- Yes.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37I can see, Cyrus, you've adopted a uniform since we last met.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40Are you now a full, bona-fide antique dealer
0:43:40 > 0:43:44- with your hat and everything?- What do you think?- You look the part.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46It's definitely the Del Boy look, don't you agree?
0:43:46 > 0:43:49So, you're walking the walk, but we want to find out if you talk the talk.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51- Shall we show you? - Are you ready for battle?
0:43:51 > 0:43:54- Are you confident, though, Tony? - Of course!
0:43:54 > 0:43:57- Smash it. - Go on, then, smash it.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01- OK.- I'm going to show you this beautiful piece first.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04Yeah, we all remember him.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07- Whoo!- I'll get rid of this.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09- Come and have a look.- OK.
0:44:09 > 0:44:14I mean, quality is not really the key word here, is it?
0:44:14 > 0:44:17Oh, no, it is! Quality is in the eye of the beholder.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20- Who put these on their side? - Because they are suicide ducks.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22What are they? Oh, they're ducks.
0:44:22 > 0:44:23- Ah! - They're suicide ducks.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26- They're cool-ish.- That's what I thought, why were they upside down?
0:44:26 > 0:44:29Maybe it's ominous that they're taking a nosedive, I'm not sure.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32And this is the piece de resistance.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34Oh, this is it, is it? Is this the big one?
0:44:34 > 0:44:36This will blow yous out of the water.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38It comes back to profit, eh?
0:44:38 > 0:44:40- You're right. - There you go.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42Quality means nothing.
0:44:42 > 0:44:43It's HMS Blow Yourself Out Of The Water.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45Yeah, it's a steal, it's a deal.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48What about the, ahem, choo-choo?
0:44:49 > 0:44:50The Get-Rich Express.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53Well, if you light this, does the glass move forward?
0:44:53 > 0:44:57- It explodes, actually. - What, what...? It's a brandy warmer.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00Right, very sophisticated, I've got to say.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02Sorry, is this quality?
0:45:02 > 0:45:04Don't you damage...
0:45:04 > 0:45:08Lordy! Dramatic jump from David there.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10Cyrus! Is this your game plan?
0:45:10 > 0:45:13- Sabotage?- Listen, he's just added value, all right?
0:45:13 > 0:45:15That's the most expensive thing.
0:45:15 > 0:45:16That's Baccarat crystal.
0:45:16 > 0:45:20Tony jests. It was a cheap brandy glass only for show.
0:45:20 > 0:45:24And will be replaced at no extra cost for auction.
0:45:24 > 0:45:25Moving quickly on.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28Very gentle, because there's lots of valuable objects here.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31OK. Feast your eyes.
0:45:31 > 0:45:35- Quite traditional, let's go have a gander.- Feast, please.
0:45:35 > 0:45:36Try not to touch anything.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39- TONY:- It's a unicorn and a lion. - This is quite cool, isn't it?
0:45:39 > 0:45:43- And what does that tell you? - Royal Scottish, er...stag...
0:45:43 > 0:45:46- Standard.- No, it's the union, yeah.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48- OK.- The best thing was the clock works perfectly.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51- I can hear it ticking.- It is? Yeah, it works perfectly.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54Not at the back of the hall when they're bidding.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57And just like our brandy glass, is it going to self-destruct?
0:45:57 > 0:45:59It will if Cyrus picks it up.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02- But where did you get that and for how much?- Is that a Mouseman?
0:46:02 > 0:46:06That is a Mouseman. That is Robert Thompson of Kilburn, Mouseman special.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08This is a three-legged stool.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11I like the mouse. What a finish on the mouse, you know?
0:46:11 > 0:46:13And that's what I saw the value to it.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15Oh, yeah, great spot, Cyrus...
0:46:15 > 0:46:16Tony. Thank you.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20You can tell me what you really think.
0:46:20 > 0:46:21I won't tell anyone.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23- Thank you!- See you there.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26How do you feel about their diabolical collection?
0:46:26 > 0:46:29I feel a lot more confident.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32- I think their Mouseman will do well.- The Mouseman will fly, yes.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34Would you swap any of their objects for any of ours?
0:46:34 > 0:46:36- No.- Good! Neither would I.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38- No, I wouldn't. - I think we're on a winner.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41We'll see them at the auction and we'll see what we can do.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43- Do you reckon it's going to be OK? - Of course, the battleship.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45- I like your attitude.- Battleship.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48Off to auction we jolly well will go.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51The mining village of Rosewell in Midlothian
0:46:51 > 0:46:53is where the cars are all pointed.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56- Right, Chef.- Yeah. - None of this skulduggery, OK?
0:46:56 > 0:46:59Smashed my glass and everything - I need all the help I can get.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Listen, Chef, I gave you a better glass.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04- Honestly?- That glass wasn't that good, you know?
0:47:04 > 0:47:08With glass replaced, Tony, you've every chance of a profit at auction.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10Now, buck up.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12- Fashionably late. - Fashionably late.
0:47:12 > 0:47:13Natasha and David are keen to get on.
0:47:13 > 0:47:14Oh, hold on, wait a minute.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17- The auction is on, gentlemen.- You got the memo to wear red, Cyrus,
0:47:17 > 0:47:19you got the memo, we got the memo.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22Memo? It's a Thursday, it's red.
0:47:22 > 0:47:26- Right, come on, let's get in there. - Very good to see you.- Get in.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Don't think I've seen so much red before.
0:47:30 > 0:47:36Bold rascal Tony and Natasha spent £164 on five lots.
0:47:36 > 0:47:41Cyrus, king of negotiating, and David, king of the trousers,
0:47:41 > 0:47:44spent £238 on five lots.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48Thomson Roddick Scottish Auctions is the venue for today,
0:47:48 > 0:47:51and Sybil Thomson is the lady in charge.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54What do you think of our roadtrippers' wares, then, love?
0:47:54 > 0:47:58An interesting battleship, I wasn't sure whose son had made it.
0:47:58 > 0:48:02Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how it goes today.
0:48:02 > 0:48:07The Mouseman of Kilburn stool, very nice indeed, lots of interest in it.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Already we've lots of commissions in it
0:48:09 > 0:48:12and it will probably be the highlight of the day.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14Oh, that's what we like to hear.
0:48:16 > 0:48:17Told you it had started.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21Oh, it's a tight squeeze for the Scarlet Bunch.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23Hoo-hoo-hoo! Oh, dear!
0:48:23 > 0:48:26I'll remove this, it might help.
0:48:26 > 0:48:27Yeah, great help, David.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32First up is Cyrus's bargain glass vase.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36That's where you start, with your £1 item?
0:48:36 > 0:48:38- Shhh, shhh!- Sorry, sorry!
0:48:38 > 0:48:39Natasha!
0:48:39 > 0:48:43I've got two commissions, and we'll start at ten bid, ten bid.
0:48:43 > 0:48:47- Oh, come on.- Ten bid, ten bid. Anyone else? Ten, 15, 20.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Five, 25.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52- Come on, come on.- Push.- Bit more.
0:48:52 > 0:48:56Anyone else going on at 25?
0:48:56 > 0:49:01That's amazing! That's a 25% profit, no, 250!
0:49:01 > 0:49:03More like 42,000,000%.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07Er, slight exaggeration, David,
0:49:07 > 0:49:09but a tidy profit nevertheless from the get-go.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13Well, I tell you, if we can keep in that theme,
0:49:13 > 0:49:15we'll be all millionaires by the end of the day.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17- Well, you might be. - You might be.
0:49:17 > 0:49:18I doubt it.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22Now, Cyrus again, this time with the silver cruet set.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25Straight in at 35 bid.

0:49:41 > 0:49:42- 504.- Get Cyrus!
0:49:42 > 0:49:43Thank you.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46He's very cool, isn't he? I've got to say, he's very cool.
0:49:46 > 0:49:51Cyrus is super cool, and he's just banked another profit.
0:49:51 > 0:49:52Well done. Happy?
0:49:54 > 0:49:58Right, Tony, it's your turn now with the novelty brandy warmer
0:49:58 > 0:50:00and the replacement glass.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03You forgot gravity works, you do that and it falls off.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06It's a universal law.
0:50:06 > 0:50:07Straight in at £10.
0:50:07 > 0:50:13- Yay!- Ten bid, ten bid, ten bid, ten bid, 15 online.

0:50:26 > 0:50:28At 25. 30.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30- Five. - Somebody likes Tony very much.
0:50:30 > 0:50:3340. Five. 45.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35Anyone else on at 45?
0:50:35 > 0:50:39Lady in the front row, at 45.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42- Yay!- Yes! Sorry, I've got to give you a round of applause for that,
0:50:42 > 0:50:44because that's ridiculous.
0:50:44 > 0:50:49Blimey! Tony's a bit hot to trot too - great profit.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51- My glass did it, I told you. - Do you reckon?
0:50:51 > 0:50:53- Yeah. - Thank you.
0:50:53 > 0:50:58It's Tony again, with the big-money buy of the military sprayer.
0:50:58 > 0:50:59And I've interest in it.
0:50:59 > 0:51:02And I'm starting at £45.
0:51:02 > 0:51:04Oh, we need more, we need more.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06- 50, five.- Oh, it's going.

0:51:22 > 0:51:24At £100.
0:51:24 > 0:51:28- 928.- If only we'd paid £90 for it! - I know!
0:51:28 > 0:51:32That will teach you to haggle a price upwards, Tony.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35What a shame, after commission, we've just made a wee loss.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38- What a shame.- I can't believe it made that £100.- You made a loss.
0:51:38 > 0:51:42On to the mantel clock that Cyrus loved the look of.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45Is this your taste, Cyrus, the clock?
0:51:45 > 0:51:48- My taste?- Yeah, you'd like it, you'd have it?
0:51:48 > 0:51:50- Well, I'd have it. - I like it, we both...
0:51:50 > 0:51:51The thing is, we went with our heart on this one.
0:51:51 > 0:51:54- We didn't go with our heads, we knew...- Didn't use our heads at all.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56But we loved it.
0:51:56 > 0:51:57Straight in at 50 bid.
0:51:57 > 0:51:58Oh, come on.

0:52:31 > 0:52:33Excellent work.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37- See, sometimes passion works, doesn't it?- Yeah, passion works.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39- The person who bought it had passion.- Yes.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44And a passionate person needs to buy this lot.
0:52:44 > 0:52:48It's Tony's battleship, and the Royal Artillery badges.
0:52:48 > 0:52:50£20 for it. 20 bid, 20 bid.
0:52:50 > 0:52:5220 bid, 20 bid.
0:52:52 > 0:52:55- That's Auntie Bess!- 20 bid, 25, 30.

0:53:05 > 0:53:07- To 43.- Yeah!
0:53:07 > 0:53:10Well done, Tony. Whether the bidder bought it

0:53:20 > 0:53:2120, £10.

0:53:26 > 0:53:27Anyone else going on?
0:53:27 > 0:53:32Ten, 15. 20, £20, in the front row at 20.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34- It's marginal. - Anyone else want in?
0:53:34 > 0:53:36You're all out at 20.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38At £20.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43It's a close one, but Tony's just creeping ahead.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46- It's very level pegging. - I know, it is, isn't it?
0:53:47 > 0:53:50Tony's rather lovely Scandinavian brooch is next.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53It's Tiffany, you know, you're going to...
0:53:53 > 0:53:55# Sail away, sail away, sail away... #

0:54:24 > 0:54:28And we have a happy Tony.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30That result pushes you further into the lead.
0:54:30 > 0:54:34- It's all down to your last two.- You two can sit back and relax now.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36We'll do all the performing. Ready, Cyrus?

0:55:28 > 0:55:31Right, it all comes down to the final item of the day,
0:55:31 > 0:55:35the Mouseman stool that Cyrus absolutely adores.
0:55:35 > 0:55:37This is our last one, the Mouseman.
0:55:37 > 0:55:41Yeah, but this is the one that I learnt about, the Mouseman.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43- Mouseman.- And I have six bids on it.
0:55:43 > 0:55:47- Good.- And I'll start straight in at 150.
0:55:47 > 0:55:49- Waaay!- 150.
0:55:49 > 0:55:51Er, you're not meant to shout, Natasha!
0:55:51 > 0:55:54- It's not even hers!- Exactly.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56- 160, 170, 180, 190. - It's beautiful,

0:56:14 > 0:56:17Good buy, sir, whoever bought it, good buy.
0:56:19 > 0:56:21Couldn't work out which hand to use.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24Never mind about that, well done.
0:56:24 > 0:56:27Another purchase guided by the heart has earned big money.
0:56:29 > 0:56:32You guys are amazing, that was the way to finish it.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34- Well done.- Cracking player.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36- So pleased.- Right, shall we go and do some numbers?

0:56:40 > 0:56:43- Come on, then. - Thanks for teaching me that much.
0:56:43 > 0:56:44Thank you very much.
0:56:44 > 0:56:47I think Cyrus has enjoyed his road trip.

0:56:59 > 0:57:03Their final takings are £449.20.

0:57:21 > 0:57:23All profits go to Children In Need.
0:57:24 > 0:57:27Doesn't take a genius to figure it out, but I tell you what,
0:57:27 > 0:57:28- we've all done well.- Yes.
0:57:28 > 0:57:29Well, I have figured it out,
0:57:29 > 0:57:31and I refer to myself as a genius, actually.
0:57:31 > 0:57:33You'd be modest, then, too.
0:57:33 > 0:57:35- Scores on the doors.- OK, remarkable,
