0:00:02 > 0:00:03The nation's favourite celebrities...
0:00:03 > 0:00:04Oh, 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 > 0:00:09..and a classic car.
0:00:09 > 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 > 0:00:15- CONCERTINA WHEEZES - Fantastic.- Yes!
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 > 0:00:22But it's no easy ride.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Ta-dah!
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Who will find a hidden gem?
0:00:25 > 0:00:26"Don't 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 > 0:00:37..and valiant losers.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Put the pedal to the metal.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Yeah!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49MUSIC: Blue Peter Theme
0:00:49 > 0:00:51On today's show, we are joined by a pair
0:00:51 > 0:00:54of legendary children's television presenters
0:00:54 > 0:00:57and old Blue Peter pals, Peter Duncan and Sarah Greene.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58ENGINE ROARS
0:00:58 > 0:01:00LAUGHTER
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Actress and presenter Sarah became a familiar face on our TV screens
0:01:08 > 0:01:09at the age of just 22,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12when she paired up with Peter and Simon Groom
0:01:12 > 0:01:14to host Blue Peter.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16And what a year it's been,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19especially for Peter and me, as Blue Peter's newest members.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I don't think either of us will forget 1980 in a hurry.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Sarah went on to front other hit TV shows,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29including Saturday Superstore and Going Live,
0:01:29 > 0:01:33which she presented alongside a fresh-faced Phillip Schofield.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34We've done really well.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Over the six years, we've done really well.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37- Yes.- We've had everybody on.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Your favourite, Michael Fallon, the junior minister for education.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- What a star he was!- Marvellous. - LAUGHTER
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Going right back, Peter, going right back.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I sort of got into it by accident
0:01:47 > 0:01:51because of having been in a drama and you,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54you were meant to have been in it before, anyway, weren't you?
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Yeah, I was going to do it before,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59because Biddy Baxter wanted me to take over from John Noakes and,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02being an actor, I thought, "No, that's the end of acting."
0:02:02 > 0:02:04And then she phoned me again and said,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06"Do you want to do Blue Peter now?"
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I switched on the telly that day - I was just about to go on holiday -
0:02:09 > 0:02:13and there you are, doing your first-ever programme.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15When I saw you and Simon, I thought, "God, we could...
0:02:15 > 0:02:18"What a fool I would be not to do this, now."
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Fellow actor and presenter Peter
0:02:22 > 0:02:26was best known as the daredevil and action man of Blue Peter
0:02:26 > 0:02:27in the '80s.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31That's it, pop your leg right over. And this leg.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34You kind of forget where you are for a minute, don't you, really?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38As long as you don't step back and admire your work.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Peter went on to have his own series titled Duncan Dares.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48He still hasn't lost his adventurous ways,
0:02:48 > 0:02:52recently showing off his acrobatic side on the TV series Tumble.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56This morning, our celebs are starting their journey
0:02:56 > 0:03:00in this 1965 Jaguar E-type coupe - lovely.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03How is it feeling? The car?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Oh, well...it's a thrill beyond a thrill, really, isn't it?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- You're loving it.- Yeah.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12It's that, sort of, large frontage to the car
0:03:12 > 0:03:15that makes you feel very much a man, you know?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16SARAH LAUGHS
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Oh, gosh...ha!
0:03:19 > 0:03:22On this trip, Sarah and Peter will be joined
0:03:22 > 0:03:23by auctioneers extraordinaire
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Natasha Raskin and Catherine Southon,
0:03:26 > 0:03:31who are slipping along in this beautiful blue 1959 Porsche 356.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I don't know if you knew we were getting a blue car,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36because we dressed to match.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Yes, we match the car!
0:03:38 > 0:03:39But it's so exciting, seeing as it's blue,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41talking of blue, Blue Peter...
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Oh, yes!- How exciting to have Sarah Greene and Peter Duncan.
0:03:44 > 0:03:51Oh, my goodness. Sarah Greene, Peter Duncan were my heroes.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Really?- I was glued to Blue Peter.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I wanted to be, in particular, Sarah Greene.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00So Sarah was your, sort of, style icon and you wanted to be her.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- You've got to shop with Sarah, then. - Oh...- It has to be that way.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Once paired up, our teams will hit the road
0:04:08 > 0:04:09with £400 in their pockets.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Starting in Guildford,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14they will embark on a buying bonanza around Surrey, Hertfordshire
0:04:14 > 0:04:17and northwest London before making their way
0:04:17 > 0:04:20to Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire for auction.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23You are kidding me!
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Look at this car, look how cool...
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- ENGINE ROARS - Oh-ho-ho!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Hello!
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Catherine Southon. Lovely to meet you.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- Nice to see you.- Hello.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Good morning, Sarah, hello. - Hello, Natasha.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Nice to see you. How are you? - I'm very well.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Now, Catherine said to me in the car as we were driving along
0:04:43 > 0:04:46that you were her style icon when you were on Blue Peter.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Oh, no... No pressure.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- You're mine, Catherine. - Oh, thank you!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52And she told me that Peter was as mad as a clown,
0:04:52 > 0:04:53so we went together really nicely.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56So I think I'm going to just shuffle over beside you, Peter,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58because apparently, we are a couple of clowns!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Yeah, that's good. - Mad as a box of fish.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- We've got clown trousers on. - You guys have a Porsche 356!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- I can't believe it, I'm so excited! - Let's get in it.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- We'll see you later.- Have fun!
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Oh, it's quite low.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- Seat belts, then.- Seat belts.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- You just turn that...? - Yeah, but it's got buttons.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I've never seen that before.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20- ENGINE RUMBLES - Oh...oh!
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Peter, when I was in school,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I was busy trying to get the boys' attention
0:05:27 > 0:05:28and they were giving me none.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- They were too busy watching Flash... - Oh, Flash, yeah.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I was only on screen 28 seconds.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- It was a very short, short cameo. - Did you sit there with a stopwatch?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38But it lingers. No, I counted it, yeah.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Blue Peter - I was a massive, massive Blue Peter fan.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43I only did it for three...
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I know, when you're little, three years is a long time and,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49actually, for me, it was an amazing experience.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52But what you were fantastic at was making things.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55It was the TV programme ones...
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Willo The Wisp, or something?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Yes. Kenneth Williams.- Yes.- Yes.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01And you made an Evil Edna.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04The great Kenneth Williams came into the studio
0:06:04 > 0:06:06and was on the programme with me
0:06:06 > 0:06:10and that was a big thrill, a big thrill.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13That was another thing - you met so many amazing people.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17And that is why, Sarah Greene, I wanted to be you in the '80s.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Oh, Catherine.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Bless!
0:06:19 > 0:06:25You're well known as an actor. You've been known as a daredevil.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27You're not afraid.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30How do you reckon you're going to handle the full-throttle activity
0:06:30 > 0:06:32of haggling with an antiques dealer?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Well, I used to travel...
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I used to make these docs, taking my kids round the world,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40and obviously, one of the features, like this TV programme here,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42you're going and filming it, you know?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45And you'd go into the market and I found the best technique
0:06:45 > 0:06:46was to send the kids in.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50So I'd send the seven-year-old son in to do the haggling
0:06:50 > 0:06:53and, of course, that would have a wonderful effect,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55because he charmed them, absolutely.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Obviously we can't do that today!
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Afraid not.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01This morning, Peter and Natasha have pootled five minutes
0:07:01 > 0:07:05along the road to their first shop in Compton.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10They've arrived at Old Barn Antiques,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13where they hope dealer Chloe will have something special.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Lady of the house.- Hello?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Wipe that dust off, we might buy it!
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Hello, how do you do? I'm Peter. - Hello.- Nice to meet you.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Hello.- Natasha.- Nice to see you. - How are you?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- I'm all right, thank you. - You're well?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Are you excited to welcome us to your wonderful shop?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Well, I don't know whether excited is the word, but...
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- It's different. - What about a huge discount
0:07:36 > 0:07:38for arriving in my E-Type Jag?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I think I'll stick to my Land Rover, if you don't mind.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Doesn't look like charm will win you a discount here, Peter,
0:07:44 > 0:07:49although compact and bijou, the shop is jam-packed
0:07:49 > 0:07:51with the combined treasures of six dealers.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- That is interesting, isn't it? - Oh, no! Oh, gosh! See that?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Gosh!- It's a slippery egg-holder.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01It's super-sweet.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- "Happy birthday", it says, all over it.- Oh, no!
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Whoops!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I hope your haggling is better than your juggling.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I mean, that's quite cool, what you've just picked up there.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17Horn letter opener. What an unusual handle, like a spiralling shell.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Peter Pannish, almost. Isn't it? - It is really cool.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24I like that, but I've no idea that anyone would want to buy that.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I mean, it's a bit of a punt, isn't it?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29It's not sharp, it's safe, child-friendly.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31It's a really pretty thing. I like that.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34But it's all about whether or not you like it.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I think it could have a chance, if we got it for a tenner.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41The vendor has priced the unusual horn letter opener at £16.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Time now for Peter to attempt his first haggle.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Look out, Chloe.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- What has she put on it? 16? - 16, she had put.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52And it does say..."Trade 1."
0:08:52 > 0:08:53What does that mean?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56You can only take one off. £1?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Yes, to make it 15.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01But there's two of us, that's "trade 2", at least.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07But...see, we could make it 15, so how about 12?
0:09:07 > 0:09:1112. What about sticks 11?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Go on, then.- All right, then.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Thank you very much. - Glad you found something, anyway.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20That's Peter out of his shopping starter blocks,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22spending £11 on his first lot for auction.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Good man.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Bye!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Meanwhile, Sarah and Catherine have headed
0:09:30 > 0:09:34to Runfold near Farnham in Surrey to begin their shopping.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40They've arrived at the Antiques Warehouse.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46We must remember, though, we're not buying for ourselves, sadly.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I know - and will you do me a favour, Catherine?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Would you keep reminding me of that? Because I will forget.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- I will, I will. - I'm not buying for me.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- This is an Aladdin's cave, isn't it? - There's a lot to see.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Hello, how nice to see you. Very nice to meet you.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- I'm Sarah.- Lovely to meet you.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Catherine. Nice to meet you.- Hi.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Set in two Elizabethan barns,
0:10:09 > 0:10:13shopkeeper Hillary has an array of fine furniture and collectables
0:10:13 > 0:10:15belonging to around 20 dealers.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19This looks like the, sort of, kitchen area.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- How does kitchenalia do, Catherine? - Depends what it is.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28Just thinking about the success and popularity of shows like Bake Off
0:10:28 > 0:10:31and this, sort of, renaissance of baking.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Baking...- Whether there is something, like, cake forks,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36something like that.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Yeah, no, I think you're onto a good thing.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41If were going to go for something like cake forks,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I think maybe not silver-plated ones.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46We need to go for something silver.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Let's go and have a look.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51OK. Silver cake forks. Where are you?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Right...
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Silver, silver, silver.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I'm slightly overwhelmed. There is so much here.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- There is so much here.- Um...
0:11:01 > 0:11:02That's quite sweet.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Isn't that lovely? - The only reason I'm looking at that
0:11:06 > 0:11:08is because it's a pocket watch.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- And it's heart-shaped. - It's heart-shaped.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14I have to be honest, pocket watches in general are a bit of a no-no,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16unless there's something quite special about them,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19or unless they're gold, or they're by a particular maker.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20But that's a fob watch, a ladies fob watch,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22in the form of a heart - I think it's quite sweet.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It could be worn as a pendant, anyway, couldn't it?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27It could be worn as a pendant, yeah.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Looks like the girls have fallen in love with a heart-shaped silver fob,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34which has a ticket price of £90.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Anything else you fancy, girls?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41There was something quite big downstairs that I saw.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Oh, OK.- And heavy.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Sounds interesting.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50What are your feelings about using the chimney pots as big planters?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Just like a piece of garden statuary, really?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Yes, yes.- These, I love.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I'm not talking about these. I'm talking about that.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02These are so much more standard and, kind of, almost fairly common.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Yes.- But I love the shape of that one.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- No, that's what caught my eye... - Like it. Love it.- ..as we swept in.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12But my worry is that if I was going to get this, I'd want two.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I'm just wondering if there's another one floating around.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Hillary.- Hello. - Hillary, Hillary, Hillary.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20We like your chimney pot. Is it on its own?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24No. I think they've been split up and I think there's another one
0:12:24 > 0:12:25buried over there somewhere.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Shall we go and have a look? - Shall I come and help you?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I think it's tucked behind this...
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- This shrub, here. - How does it look?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Because the key thing is, really, condition on these things.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I think there might be a little chip out of one of them
0:12:38 > 0:12:40at the bottom somewhere.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43What I love this, down the bottom, this sort of smokiness.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- This has really had a lot of wear. - Yes, yes.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48It feels good, it looks good...
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I mean, this has got a good 100 years on it, hasn't it?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Does I'd classify as an antique, then?- Oh, yes.- Yes, it does.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I can actually say that that belongs in the...?
0:12:56 > 0:12:57- Absolutely.- OK.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02At £85 each, the combined ticket price
0:13:02 > 0:13:06for the 19th-century terracotta chimney pots would be £170.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10What is your absolute very best on these,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12if we were to buy a pair?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Let me just think. I've got to do a little calculation.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I could make them 120. How does that sound?
0:13:18 > 0:13:19120...for the pair?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- For the pair.- Mm...
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- It's a really big discount. - It's a big discount,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and I'd say we're getting there, Hillary - we're getting there.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Hard-nosed negotiator Sarah isn't quite ready to seal the deal,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34as something else has caught her eye -
0:13:34 > 0:13:37a set of French Art Deco hors d'oeuvres servers.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I'm thinking, once upon a time,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43they would have been in a really nice presentation set.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44They probably would, yes.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46You haven't got a box for them or anything?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Or did they come like that?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50They didn't come with a box, no.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Are they actually silver, the handles?
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Yes, French silver. They won't have the English hallmark on them, but...
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- So, these are probably silver gilt. - It's silver gilt, yes.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02And these are silver. They are very light.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Mind you, you wouldn't want anything heavy when you are serving
0:14:04 > 0:14:06something like this, but they are quite light.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09They're quite big and butch-looking, but I quite like them.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I absolutely love those. I think they're good.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13How much are they?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17I think it says 75 on the ticket.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I'd like to talk about combining.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24Can I offer you, for this and the chimney pots, 130?
0:14:24 > 0:14:29I could come down to...40 on those. That's nearly half price.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31So that adds up, 160 for the two.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Can we take it to 150?
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Oh, dear... You do drive a hard bargain, don't you?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Well, as I've had those for an awfully long time,
0:14:40 > 0:14:45I think I might just be prepared, this once, to do it.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Thank you very much.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Thank you very much. I'm on my bended knee, saying thank you!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52These two aren't finished yet.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56They are both still keen on the silver heart-shaped fob watch.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58What can that be? What's the bottom price on that?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- Can you remember what was...? - I think it was on it for 90.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I could come down to 75.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I think that's still too steep for us.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I think... To be perfectly honest, I think the only way
0:15:09 > 0:15:12we'd be interested in it if it's more, sort of, 40.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15£50. If it can be around that, then possibly...
0:15:15 > 0:15:16It's got to be 60.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21I'd hoped you'd say 55, but do you know what?
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Hillary, you've been so helpful, let's say 60.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29So that brings us to a total of...
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- We were at 150, so...- 210.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Correct, Catherine.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38The newly acquired fob watch
0:15:38 > 0:15:40is added to the 19th-century chimney pots they bought for £120
0:15:40 > 0:15:46and the Art Deco hors d'oeuvre servers that they got for £30 - wow.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Back with Peter and Natasha,
0:15:54 > 0:15:55and they've made their way to Woking.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59During Peter's days presenting on Blue Peter,
0:15:59 > 0:16:03he was well-known as a daredevil and a sportsman,
0:16:03 > 0:16:07so Natasha is taking him on a trip that he is sure to enjoy
0:16:07 > 0:16:08at the Hockey Museum.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14They are meeting curator Mike Smith to find out more about the history
0:16:14 > 0:16:18of one of the world's most popular sports.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Yes, so, the obvious question we want to know
0:16:20 > 0:16:22is how did it all begin?
0:16:22 > 0:16:23No definitive answer to that.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25We know that a stick-and-ball game
0:16:25 > 0:16:28was being played by the Egyptians 2,000 BC,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30so that's 4,000 years ago.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- No!- And all manner of communities, civilisations
0:16:35 > 0:16:37played what would be a stick-and-ball game.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40It started to evolve in the 18th century.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44They were playing a primitive form of hockey in schools
0:16:44 > 0:16:47and different schools formulated their own rules.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53The game's popularity grew through the 18th and 19th centuries
0:16:53 > 0:16:57and by the 1800s, an official Hockey Association was formed.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03So the hockey that we play now, by the rules now,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05how did that spread round the world?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06I think the catalyst for that
0:17:06 > 0:17:09was hockey getting into the Olympics in 1908.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Is it as popular now? Is it gaining popularity worldwide?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I know the Indians and Pakistanis play it, don't they?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18The Indians and Pakistanis do play,
0:17:18 > 0:17:19but that's thanks to the British Army
0:17:19 > 0:17:21that took the game out there
0:17:21 > 0:17:24in the latter part of the 19th century,
0:17:24 > 0:17:25the early 20th century.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30And the officers had probably played hockey at school and at university,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33so they took it with them and got the men playing hockey.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36So hockey became a very strong sport within the services.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Once considered too dangerous a sport for females,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43it wasn't until the 1880s that woman's hockey was introduced
0:17:43 > 0:17:46in British schools - scary.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51I sort of remember, as a kid, that actually,
0:17:51 > 0:17:52girls played hockey more than boys.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Very much so, yes.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55At the back end of the 19th century,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58the ladies had to fight very hard to be able to play it,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01as it was their fathers and brothers that were playing the game.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Almost a sort of suffragette-type of movement -
0:18:04 > 0:18:06they had to form their own clubs
0:18:06 > 0:18:08and they didn't get a lot of help from the blokes,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12because it wasn't seen to be ladylike to play sport.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- People were so sexist in those days. - Very much so.- Absolutely.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17But good on them for persisting.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Now, my real connection to it is that I...
0:18:19 > 0:18:21In the '80s, I made a Blue Peter film,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23and I was dressed up as the goalie.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Well, let's take a look at you in action, then, Peter...
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Stick your arms in...
0:18:26 > 0:18:30..up against the British Olympic hockey team.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Poor Peter took a bit of a battering.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35PETER YELLS
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Ow!
0:18:38 > 0:18:41'I was just a dummy, standing in goal.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42'And they, you know,'
0:18:42 > 0:18:45they were whacking these balls at me as hard as they could
0:18:45 > 0:18:48and when they hit you, you know, you were doing all this.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49You wouldn't want to do that sort of thing,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51cos it's dangerous, really.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Now, that sounds like a challenge if ever I heard one.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01And with Natasha being a hardy Scot, well, she's up for it.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Scary!
0:19:03 > 0:19:08- Peter.- Aye... - Your time has come.- Aye, I know.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- I'm in goals this time.- Yeah.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- You ready for a bit of competition? - I have my balls.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15You've got just two, there. I'm going to give you five.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Five? OK.- Five shots at goal.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Best of five...- Best of five. - ..wins.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25OK. So, if I get three, I win. If you get three...
0:19:25 > 0:19:28If I lose two... If... Yeah.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Enough about the rules. Shall we just play?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Better than doing the maths.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Anyway, it's perfect hockey weather here in Woking.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Peter is stepping up to the first ball. Can he score?
0:19:41 > 0:19:42LAUGHTER
0:19:42 > 0:19:44That'll be a "no", then.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Does that one count? - I'm afraid it does, old chap.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Oh...!
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Right, can he hit ball two properly?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58OK, better, but way off the mark. That's 2-0 to Natasha.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01He shoots - he scores!
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Oh, nice!
0:20:03 > 0:20:04SHE LAUGHS
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Oh...!- Back of the net!
0:20:08 > 0:20:12It all comes down to the final ball. Go on, give it some welly!
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Yeah!
0:20:15 > 0:20:17What a save!
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Sorry, Duncan.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21This time, goalie wins.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Don't worry, you're still my team-mate.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27High five, hockey stick.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- Ow! - SHE LAUGHS
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Back with Sarah and Catherine,
0:20:36 > 0:20:38it's more shopping that's on the agenda,
0:20:38 > 0:20:42so they've motored along to Ripley in Surrey.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Originally a 17th-century coaching inn,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47J Hartley Antiques is packed with everything from period furniture
0:20:47 > 0:20:50to quirky collectables.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Look at that!
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Oh, there's all sorts in here, Catherine.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I have to tell you...
0:20:58 > 0:21:01..probably the most unusual thing in here has caught my eye.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- I actually love this.- I love it.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I love this ladder. Are we allowed a ladder?
0:21:07 > 0:21:08We can have whatever you want.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12I can imagine that in somewhere that is extremely modern and stark.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Mm-hm. - Interior or exterior, in any garden.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- It's kind of a bit shabby chic, isn't it?- It is, and it's been...
0:21:19 > 0:21:21But it's been done quite well, I think.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- I wonder where it comes from? - I don't know.- Shall we ask?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Better call dealer John over.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27John? Hello?
0:21:27 > 0:21:28We quite like your ladder.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31That actually belongs to Deirdre.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Right. Who's Deirdre?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34The lady who has this room.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Has it actually got a price on it, Sarah?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38She may have it hidden under the fabric.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43Let's have a look. I can't see it under there, no.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- Has she actually got a ticket on it? Do we know?- It's free!
0:21:46 > 0:21:47You wish!
0:21:47 > 0:21:51John is off to ask Deirdre for a price. Deirdre?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Why do you love that so much?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56It's about where I can see it being placed.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00The possibilities are endless for interior design, aren't they?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I mean, you wouldn't use this as a ladder.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04It looks very rickety and I wouldn't...
0:22:04 > 0:22:07That's the one thing I wouldn't use it for, quite right!
0:22:07 > 0:22:10John is back. What's the news?
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Deirdre says it's £80 and a French orchard apple ladder.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Apple orchard - I'm kind of loving it more, now.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Really? So if it came from an abattoir in Swindon,
0:22:21 > 0:22:22you'd not have wanted it?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- LAUGHING:- I wouldn't have liked it then!
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- OK. Shall we have a look around and have a mull about that?- Yes.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Doesn't take Sarah long to spy another unusual item.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Look at those!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42They've got a bit of age to them, but aren't they...?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Again, a little bit like our ladder thing downstairs,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48just up on a wall somewhere.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I mean, just to be funny, because they are quite funny.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- They're quite comical. - I don't want the poles.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- I don't care about the poles. - No, no, me neither.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- I just want the skis.- Yeah.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59£55 that's on them. Actually, they look in pretty...
0:22:59 > 0:23:02They're rusty and they've been here ages, but...
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Oh, look, oh, look. This is all coming off, here.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07But we are not buying them to use, are we?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10I'm just thinking about the negotiation, that's all.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- I think if we got those for 25... - Yeah.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- ..I think I might go for the ladder. - Do you?
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Crafty. Best talk to John. John?
0:23:22 > 0:23:27- Your skis.- They were my father's. - Oh!
0:23:27 > 0:23:30And he skied on those and I learned to ski on those,
0:23:30 > 0:23:31so because they are sentimental,
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I don't really want to slash them out.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Well, we have a proposition.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Of course, when we thought about this figure,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41we had no idea about your back story to this.
0:23:41 > 0:23:4225.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Without the poles. We don't need the poles.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Oh, boy...
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Um... I should have been sitting down.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Knowing Dad, he would have knocked them out for about £40.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Can we meet somewhere? Can we meet in the middle?
0:23:57 > 0:23:5935?
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Yeah... Yeah, absolutely.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Right.- Absolutely.- Deal done.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11A generous price gets the girls the vintage 1950s skis for £35.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Sarah is still after the French apple orchard ladder,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20so she's asked John to see if Deirdre would accept £50.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25I'm afraid the absolute death on that is £58.
0:24:25 > 0:24:2758. OK.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Come on, Catherine. You're going to have to...
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Oh, please don't make me make that decision!
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Let's make a decision... Let's make it together.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Do we want it?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Well, do you?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- I say yes.- Yes!- Yes.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47LAUGHTER
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Oh, no, what have we done?!
0:24:48 > 0:24:52We are buying a ladder for £58. Are we going to do it?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Yes.- Yes.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56They got there eventually.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00So, they've bought the French orchard ladder for £50
0:25:00 > 0:25:03and the vintage skis for 35.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I really thought we were going to buy jewellery today.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- I had it in my mind.- I know. - We were going to buy gems.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Goodbye, thank you. - We couldn't have gone further away.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14I'll say!
0:25:14 > 0:25:16And after that peculiar spot of shopping,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18both teams' first day is done.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21So, nighty-night, sleep well.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30It's the next morning and Sarah and Peter are together again. Aw!
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Quite a tight road, this. We might get stuck in a tree.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Yeah, you are very, very...very skilled
0:25:37 > 0:25:40at navigating these nadgery lanes.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Nadgery is an official word meaning very narrow and winding.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Catherine and Natasha are also back on the road,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49making their way to Shendish in Hertfordshire,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51to meet their celebrity partners.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Yesterday was wild.
0:25:53 > 0:25:59I think we went across every single genre possible and we bought...
0:25:59 > 0:26:01We bought the craziest things you can imagine.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Give me a clue. What kind of genre?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06CATHERINE LAUGHS
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Sporting...- OK.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Um...and then...
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- We did go a bit traditional.- OK.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16And then we went... We went a bit wild, too.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19This could mean anything, Catherine. These are not clues.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Peter and Natasha have only bought one item so far -
0:26:23 > 0:26:25the unusual horn letter opener -
0:26:25 > 0:26:31which means they are still loaded, with £389 to spend today,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34while the girls have had a much more successful shopping spree,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37buying an impressive five lots -
0:26:37 > 0:26:42the vintage 1950s skis, the French apple orchard ladder,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45the rare silver heart-shaped fob watch,
0:26:45 > 0:26:49the pair of 19th-century terracotta chimney pots
0:26:49 > 0:26:52and the French Art Deco hors d'oeuvre servers -
0:26:52 > 0:26:55leaving them with just £97 to play with.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00How many of your things have you got?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Shall I tell you how many I've got? Am I allowed to tell you?
0:27:03 > 0:27:04I've got five things.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07See, I don't hang about, me, Peter. I don't hang about.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10But the other thing is we have got some money left over...
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Can I have the money that's left over, then?- No.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Harsh! But you've got plenty of your own cash, Peter.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Stop!- Good morning!- Hello!
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Guten morgen.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Good morning, sweetheart. Are you all right?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Yeah, absolutely. Raring to go.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I have arranged this for us, as well.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Thank you, yes.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Are you happy about that? - Good morning.- Hello.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Well, wish us luck, ladies, because we need it more than you do.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Be positive, be positive. - Positive thinking.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37You start out so sweet and nice,
0:27:37 > 0:27:41but there is this undercurrent of competition that surfaces...
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Moi? Never!
0:27:42 > 0:27:45No, Peter is really the competitive one, not me.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50This morning, our two teams will recommence their road trip
0:27:50 > 0:27:53in the historic town of Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Now, what about shopping today? - We have a job on, here.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00I mean, clearly, the opposition have streaked ahead of us.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03They are getting worried. I think they are getting worried.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I think Natasha is getting slightly worried.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06They've only bought one item.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- NATASHA:- We need to be calm and cool and focused.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12You need to make me happy, Natasha.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I'll try! And we need to spend some money.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- 11 quid.- How much have we spent? 11 quid?- Of 400.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20They've got lots of things to buy today.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Better get on with it, then.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Both teams have arrived in Berkhamsted,
0:28:24 > 0:28:29where they will begin their day at Heritage Antiques.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31- Look, they're coming. - Get a game plan.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Look at that, sort of, striding walk, there.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36You know what you need? You need a hat.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39We just walked so casually, the sass coming off of you two!
0:28:39 > 0:28:42You've got five, I've got one. I'm going in.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44- Are you? Are you? Are you? - Oh, sorry.- Are you sure?
0:28:44 > 0:28:46I found a Blue Peter book that you're in.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- You look much younger. - We're not like that.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- After you, after you. - I know. Thank you, Catherine.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Sorry, we don't care about you.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Now, now, Peter.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Crammed with antiques from 31 dealers,
0:29:00 > 0:29:03there is plenty to go around and, straight away,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Peter has clocked something he likes.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06Just saw it as I came in,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09because I bought one of these in, um...France.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10What have you got? Oh, the burner!
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Yeah, yeah, look.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14See, what you do is, it is a wood burner,
0:29:14 > 0:29:16but this is Art Deco, it says.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- You put all your wood in there. - That's right.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20I've got one exactly... Only a French version of this.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- I think it's beautiful. - You think it's beautiful?- 125.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Do you know what I have to tell you? I really like that.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- Do you? Really? - I think it's supercool.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30No, I have recently become quite obsessed with wood burners.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Obviously, the very modern style. But these ceramic pieces...
0:29:34 > 0:29:36They evoke a nice era, don't they?
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- That must be, what, '30s? - Yeah, well, I believe so.
0:29:39 > 0:29:45Ha-ha! With a ticket price of £125, it is down to Peter to do the deal,
0:29:45 > 0:29:48so Pauline has got the owner on the phone.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49Well done, Pauline.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Peter, I've got Tony on the phone for you.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52- Oh, cool, cool.- OK? Thank you.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Hi, Tony. I've just seen your beautiful Art Deco log burner.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- What price could I have it for? - (£60!)
0:29:59 > 0:30:03100, so that's only 25 off. Can we... What about 85?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- 'Can't do.'- Can't do 85. Somewhere in between?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09'Sorry, has to be 95.'
0:30:09 > 0:30:1395. 95. 95. Going once, going twice...
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Tony, it's done. 95.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Blimey. Natasha's in shock.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22Peter has gone and bought the early 20th-century wood-burner for £95.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Now, where are the girls?
0:30:26 > 0:30:29I'm glad they've got so much outside we can look at today.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Oh, this is lovely. This is perfect.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34This is just for us today and I feel very relaxed.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38I feel like we should just pull up a chair and sit all day.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- SARAH CHUCKLES - And just laugh at them.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44While the girls are busy being smug,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Peter's got his shopping head firmly on.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Right, what have you got in there?
0:30:48 > 0:30:50I didn't even know all this stuff was outside?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- I know. I know. Look at this now. - Look what you've got!
0:30:52 > 0:30:56So, I have been to Africa quite a lot and when I was there, I bought
0:30:56 > 0:30:59a fantastic thing that was very similar to this,
0:30:59 > 0:31:01sort of, East African.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03And they're kind of all something to do with fertility
0:31:03 > 0:31:05and obviously praying to gods.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06But they're beautiful, aren't they?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- They're really nice. - Feel the weight of them.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09- Feel the weight.- OK. Give me one.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13Oh, I tell you what, they are weighty. Beautiful wood.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15I have to confess, I don't know the wood, but it's very beautiful.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Do you know the price? - No. There's no price on them.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Better get Pauline and her trusty phone back to call Stewart,
0:31:21 > 0:31:25the owner of the ticketless fertility figures.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I've got Peter from Blue Peter here.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30He would like to talk to you about
0:31:30 > 0:31:34your pair of carved bodies. OK?
0:31:34 > 0:31:38Hello, mate. I wondered really what price you could do them for.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39'About £30.'
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- For both?- 'Yeah, for both.'
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Yeah, £30 for both. What about 25?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48He's getting the hang of this.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52OK. All right. £30. 15 each.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Do you know, I'm enjoying myself so much today,
0:31:54 > 0:31:57I'm not in the mood for haggling any more? 30 quid, it's a deal.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00And just like that, Peter's bought another lot for auction.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Catherine, when you come to places like this where you've got
0:32:05 > 0:32:07this great, big, old mixture of stuff,
0:32:07 > 0:32:11do you ever find any proper sort of historical treasures?
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Oh, yes. Yes. We've just got to look. Got to look high and low.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Looking everywhere. On the floor, under things.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19Yes. And I'm also looking at hats.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23That hat doesn't look very historic to me, Sarah.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- I don't know. What do you think? - It's tiny.- Um, it is a bit small.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- It's not really... - Let's have a look.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- I don't think that is right at all. - Oh, no. That's too high for you.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- It's a bit too high, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41While the girls are playing dressing up, Peter's playing puppets.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Hello, everybody! And it says on it, look, look, it says,
0:32:44 > 0:32:46"Vintage Pinocchio."
0:32:46 > 0:32:49So, it's a vintage, which is, uh... And it's beautiful.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- It's 33 quid, you could get that down a bit.- OK.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53But if it's really old... Is it old?
0:32:53 > 0:32:55It's not that old. I would say it's probably about 1970s.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Now, what I'm worried about - not worried at all -
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- is these two letters, AF...- What does that mean?- ..means "as found".
0:33:01 > 0:33:03So, there must be some sort of damage on it somewhere.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05- Well, it's the...- Is it just the strings?- It's the strings.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- Is that the only bit of damage you can see?- Yes. And I can fix that
0:33:08 > 0:33:09- cos I'm in theatre. - I think I quite like him.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Shall we go and speak to Pauline about him?
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- Shall we take him with us?- Or in fact, before we do that,
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- shall I show you what I've come up with?- Yeah, yeah.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- OK. Come with me, you two. - I'll take my little man with me.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19So...
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Behold.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- He doesn't look very impressed. - I know.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- You wanted something in a pair. - Yeah, I like pair things.
0:33:25 > 0:33:31- A pair of brass...- Goblets. - ..oriental vases.- Oriental? Ooh.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33They're quite exciting. They're trumpet-shaped.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37But how nicely turned this trumpet shape is.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38- And such a good price. - Such a good price.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Now, believe it or not... - Are you a double act?
0:33:41 > 0:33:42..these belong to Pauline.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- Now, they're not going to change anyone's life.- No, no, no.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- But have you seen the ticket price? - 10 quid, yeah.- (10 quid.)
0:33:47 > 0:33:50I'm not even going to bargain with you on that. Done.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51Oh, thank you very much.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- Well, I wasn't going to suggest that.- You can come again.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I was going to say, "Let's get them at half price."
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- But, do you know what, Peter, you're an honest man.- Fiver each, then.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00Let me show you this other thing.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03I found another pair, leaded windows.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07So, this here is named Transvaal, which was a colony of South Africa,
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- that was founded in 1910. - Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Then, to go with it, we also have Cape Colony,
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- so, another South African area... - Wow!
0:34:16 > 0:34:17..around the Cape of Good Hope.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19So, they're not stained glass,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21they're painted glass with leaded panels.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23But it's certainly an attractive pair
0:34:23 > 0:34:25and what I think is interesting
0:34:25 > 0:34:28is that these probably came from a whole set.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30These are not the only two colonies in South Africa,
0:34:30 > 0:34:32so I would imagine that they've came from
0:34:32 > 0:34:36a grand home which had every single colony painted and their crest.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Nice sturdy oak frames.- Yeah.- Good weight.- And we've got a lot of money
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- to spend, but not as much as on the ticket.- Don't tell Pauline that.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45With the ticket price of £118 for the pair,
0:34:45 > 0:34:50Peter is taking the helm again and calling the vendor. Standby.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Hello, hello. Listen, I love your windows.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57I'm just wondering what price I could have them for.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- 'I would go to 100 on them.'- 100.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- 'But I paid more than 80 myself.' - Did you pay more than 80? Oh, I see.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05There's a couple of other things we're going to look at.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Nice to talk to you. Thanks very much. All right, bye-bye.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- OK. So, what was the best price, £100?- Well, 100, really,
0:35:11 > 0:35:14because she paid 90 for them and she's got to make a profit.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17While Peter's considering another purchase,
0:35:17 > 0:35:19the girls are back out in the sun.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- Flaky chairs.- Bistro chairs.- They're a little bit like the ladder,
0:35:25 > 0:35:26- aren't they?- There's a couple.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- They are. They've got that same look, but shall I test?- Yes.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Have a test and see what you think.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- Would you sit on and lean back on that in comfort, really?- No.- No?
0:35:35 > 0:35:37I feel very lopsided.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39In that case, I think you've made the decision for us.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43And I'm going to get flaky paint all over the car.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Having already secured five lots
0:35:45 > 0:35:48and nothing here tickling their antique taste buds,
0:35:48 > 0:35:49the girls are heading off.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Peter, on the other hand, still has some haggling to do.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58I do want to buy Pinocchio because I think that's...
0:35:58 > 0:36:02I think it's beautiful and it's funny and I think maybe
0:36:02 > 0:36:07people would buy it for a child or somewhere to sit. What can we...
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- What's the price? - We've got 33 on it.- Yeah.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15- I think 25.- 25.- How's that? - Twice my age. Yeah, done.- Done.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20So, 25 on the puppet, 10 on the trumpet vases,
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- 30 on the things.- Yeah. - 95 on the wood burner.- Yeah.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Wait a minute, already we're at four, five items.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- So, what do you think about these windows.- I like the windows.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33To be honest, I love both your items, but I like the windows
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- more than the £10 vases. - You've dealt on the vases, Peter.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Oh, I've dealt on the vases. I've got to have the vases.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40I'm sorry to tell you, you've got to have the vases.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- You want to go for these windows? - Yes.- You're sold on those at £100?
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- Yeah, yeah.- Do the deal.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- £100. £100?- Yeah, yeah.- Well done. How much are we up to now?
0:36:48 > 0:36:51I'm not sure what I did there but, anyway, it feels good...
0:36:51 > 0:36:56He's a buying machine, spending a whopping £260.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00260. 20, 40, 60, 80, 100,
0:37:00 > 0:37:0320, 40, 60, 80, 100, 20, 40, 60!
0:37:03 > 0:37:06He's throwing it at you, Pauline. For God's sake.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- Could you check that, please? - Oh, come on.- She runs a tight ship.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12I used to be a bank teller, I know what I'm doing.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Look, I've got the thumb.- Are you sure?- You're short.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- You're short £20! - It usually works.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19There you are, you see.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22You could lose your Blue Peter badge for that.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Having bought all their lots for auction,
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Sarah and Catherine are taking
0:37:29 > 0:37:31the afternoon off and have journeyed
0:37:31 > 0:37:3315 miles down the road
0:37:33 > 0:37:35to Stanmore in North West London.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41Sarah has a passion for aviation after setting up her own
0:37:41 > 0:37:45aerial filming business with her late husband Mike Smith,
0:37:45 > 0:37:48so Catherine has brought her to Bentley Priory, which played
0:37:48 > 0:37:50a pivotal role during the Battle of Britain
0:37:50 > 0:37:53as Fighter Command HQ.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00This was when one of Britain's darkest moments also became
0:38:00 > 0:38:04her finest hour thanks to a man called Sir Hugh Dowding
0:38:04 > 0:38:07and the innovative air defence system he created.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11It is sensational.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16The girls are meeting Bentley Priory trustee Natasha Brown
0:38:16 > 0:38:17to find out more.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20This was Fighter Command in 1936.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24The RAF had it from 1926, when it stopped being a school.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27And as notoriously happened during World War II,
0:38:27 > 0:38:31a lot of mansions were taking over by the army, the RAF
0:38:31 > 0:38:34to be prisoner of war camps or intelligence centres
0:38:34 > 0:38:36and this was Fighter Command.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Why was this Fighter Command?
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Strategically, it's placed right in front of the London Basin,
0:38:41 > 0:38:43so you can see London.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- You can see the views from here. - Exactly.- Spectacular.- Stunning.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- And this man...- I was going to say, he's looking out over us now.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Sir Hugh Dowding, yeah, was actually in charge at the time,
0:38:52 > 0:38:55from 1936 to 1940.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59And he is pivotal in the whole of the Battle of Britain
0:38:59 > 0:39:03and us winning the war.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Fought in the skies, the Battle of Britain took place
0:39:06 > 0:39:11during World War II between July and October 1940.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13A crucial victory for this country,
0:39:13 > 0:39:17it made Hitler's invasion plans all but impossible.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Heavily outnumbered by the Luftwaffe,
0:39:21 > 0:39:25which was the largest air force in the world at the time,
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Britain's success is largely credited to Sir Dowding
0:39:28 > 0:39:30and his air defence system.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34So, this was the nerve centre.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36This is like going backstage in the theatre.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38I know, it's amazing, isn't it?
0:39:38 > 0:39:41It's like the back of a set, all the bits of scaffold and wood.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Well, this is actually a complete recreation
0:39:44 > 0:39:45of what was actually here.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48So, we went into the archives of the RAF to find out
0:39:48 > 0:39:50and there were plans of what he did.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54Dowding's system brought together technology, ground defences
0:39:54 > 0:39:58and fighter aircraft into a unified system of defence.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05Radar gave early warning of Luftwaffe raids, which were also
0:40:05 > 0:40:06tracked by the Observer Corps.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11Information on the incoming aircraft was first filtered
0:40:11 > 0:40:15at Bentley Priory, then passed on to various group HQs
0:40:15 > 0:40:19and sector stations who would scramble fighters into action.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- So, the map that we have in here... - Yes?- Mm-hm.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28..is from the Scottish coast all the way down and across the south coast.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30So, this is looking out to sea, really.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32This is what's approaching us.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35So, what the radar were great at was distance and what this
0:40:35 > 0:40:38information brought in was the number of people and
0:40:38 > 0:40:41so that was the strength and then also the height at which they
0:40:41 > 0:40:44were coming in because that was critical for us.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Where we had such a fewer number of planes to fight these guys,
0:40:48 > 0:40:50we had to make sure that what we did,
0:40:50 > 0:40:53we did precisely and it wasn't just where they were located,
0:40:53 > 0:40:57but the height at which, so that we knew how high we needed
0:40:57 > 0:40:58to come down in order to get them.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00And what's the speed involved here,
0:41:00 > 0:41:02in terms of them getting the information
0:41:02 > 0:41:05and then getting our aircraft to go and intercept the enemy?
0:41:05 > 0:41:06It was a really quick turnaround,
0:41:06 > 0:41:08so, we're looking at something about four minutes
0:41:08 > 0:41:09on a quick turnaround basis.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12So, every 30 seconds, you'd get new information coming through
0:41:12 > 0:41:15so you could follow the path of everything coming through.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Once they knew that it was really an enemy aircraft approach,
0:41:17 > 0:41:20that's when the information went through
0:41:20 > 0:41:21from the teller up at the top
0:41:21 > 0:41:23through to the special operations room.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29As well as processing huge amounts of information quickly
0:41:29 > 0:41:32and managing the position of the fighter aircraft,
0:41:32 > 0:41:36the operations room also directed other elements
0:41:36 > 0:41:40of the defence network, including anti-aircraft guns,
0:41:40 > 0:41:43searchlights and barrage balloons.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47So, this was the operations room.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49This filled the space at two levels,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52with balconies and a big map in the middle,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54and you can see that in this model.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56This model, again, is taken from the archives.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59So, we took all of the information and this is placed from
0:41:59 > 0:42:03photographs in the archive drawings to show with the map in the middle.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07But this time, the map is centred on the country and not on the sea.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09So, this is Observer Corps information also being
0:42:09 > 0:42:13filtered through into here, so that they can really plot and plan
0:42:13 > 0:42:14where the planes are going.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16This is the Dowding system.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20This is the culmination of working with the radar,
0:42:20 > 0:42:21working with Observer Corps,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24working with all of these new technologies
0:42:24 > 0:42:26and this new information to actually make sure
0:42:26 > 0:42:30that we didn't over-use them, but we used them strategically
0:42:30 > 0:42:32and that we lost as few as possible
0:42:32 > 0:42:35because we had this brilliant information.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37After the Battle of Britain,
0:42:37 > 0:42:42Hitler realised he couldn't win in the skies and that was a big win.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46He then couldn't invade us in the way that he had wanted to.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- We have so much to be thankful for, don't we?- Mm. Absolutely.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52It's an amazing story that people need to remember.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Peter and Natasha have also made their way to North West London.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05They've come to Pinner for their final spot of shopping
0:43:05 > 0:43:08at A&C Antiques And Collectables.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11- Last chance to spend some money. - Yeah.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Hello.- Hello.
0:43:14 > 0:43:15Hi, I'm Tasha.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Oh, hello there, I'm Cris.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19- Cris, this is Peter. - Hi, Cris. Peter. Are you all right?
0:43:19 > 0:43:20Ooh, is that for sale?
0:43:22 > 0:43:23Huh. Lordy.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29Peter's keen to spend all of their remaining £129 and has spotted
0:43:29 > 0:43:33something outside that could fit the bill - a pair of birdbaths.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36I love these. They're definitely old, aren't they, really?
0:43:36 > 0:43:40Well, certainly the rust gives a little bit of an idea of age.
0:43:40 > 0:43:44But, yes, these are typical, Victorian, I guess, cast iron.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46- But really heavy. Heavy.- Heavy.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Just like the back of our wood-burner.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51- I wonder how much they cost. - Yeah, shall we go and ask Cris?
0:43:51 > 0:43:54Do you want me to go and get her?
0:43:54 > 0:43:55- She's coming.- Cris!
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Cris, do you know the price of the birdbaths?
0:43:57 > 0:44:01Yeah, they were 125 each or a couple of hundred for the pair.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04That's way out of our league, I'm afraid.
0:44:04 > 0:44:08The very, very, very best would be 150 for the pair.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11- That would be the best. - Well, we don't even have 150.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13We don't have 150. Shall I tell you how much we have?
0:44:13 > 0:44:18So, I've spent 271,
0:44:18 > 0:44:20so I've got 129 left.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26- OK, then, yeah. For 129.- Oh-ho!
0:44:26 > 0:44:29Well, Peter, Cris has made your wish come true.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31They are very nice. They are very nice.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34- That's great.- They are lovely. - Well, that's a bit of a shock.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36- OK, then, 129. - That's a very good deal.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38I'll say.
0:44:38 > 0:44:43That generous discount bags Peter and Natasha the bird baths for £129,
0:44:43 > 0:44:48which they'll add to the wood-burner to create one lot for auction.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54Steady on, old chap.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57HE GROANS Crikey!
0:44:57 > 0:44:59Shopping complete for both teams,
0:44:59 > 0:45:02it's time to get an eyeful of each other's lots.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Dum, dum, dum...
0:45:06 > 0:45:08You went with Pinocchio!
0:45:08 > 0:45:11- That's exactly who it is. - Yeah, yeah.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13It's in need of slight repair, string-wise.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16What about your kind of, hmm, ethnic figures?
0:45:16 > 0:45:17You didn't sound very impressed by them.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20- Well, this is a good story because Peter's wife is a midwife.- Yeah.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22And these are for fertility.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24- They're quite impressive looking, aren't they?- They're cool.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26- I think so. - They've got bosoms on their head
0:45:26 > 0:45:29- and there's a pair here, too. - They're everywhere.- Yes, yes.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31- You're holding back a bit now, aren't you?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33And you notice, I've bought everything in pairs except
0:45:33 > 0:45:37for Pinocchio and this object over here which is my favourite.
0:45:37 > 0:45:38The piece de resistance.
0:45:38 > 0:45:42It is a bright blue wood-burner, Art Deco-style. Look.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Lid comes out like that. You put your wood in there.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47Bit of methylated spirit on that, it'll sell for 200 quid.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49I love these. I think they're absolutely brilliant.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Did you choose them, Peter?
0:45:51 > 0:45:52- No, no.- They've got style.
0:45:52 > 0:45:56Natasha saw them and she persuaded me and instantly when I saw them,
0:45:56 > 0:45:58I concurred with her that this was a good choice.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00- Well done, you. Well done. - They're a wee bit on my head.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03I've spent every pound of my £400 to get these things together.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06- Have you?- Every penny. - I have to congratulate you on that.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08Congratulations to both of you.
0:46:08 > 0:46:12- And you did the same, of course.- Of course! Almost.
0:46:12 > 0:46:16'You fibbers! Time to reveal all.'
0:46:16 > 0:46:17It's a stepladder!
0:46:17 > 0:46:22It's an apple orchard ladder from the 1920s from France.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24- Can I reveal back what's under here?- Yes.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27- Ooh!- There we are.- Oh!
0:46:27 > 0:46:30I thought it was all going to be small chimney pots.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33We've bought things to do with fire and burning things.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36- It's great!- I know. - How good are they for the garden?
0:46:36 > 0:46:38- That's what they're for. - Thank you, yes.- Beautiful.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40That's exactly what they're for.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43- What do you think of these little devils?- Really gorgeous.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45They're the Devil's fork and spoon.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49- They're Deco.- Silver-gilt. - Silver-gilt, and they're French.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51- They are beautiful. - They are so attractive.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53They are for serving hors d'oeuvres or whatever you want, really.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55That's a cutie, I tell you. That wee sweetheart,
0:46:55 > 0:46:57- little pocket watch. - Do you love that?
0:46:57 > 0:46:59Well, when was the last time you saw one in a heart-shaped?
0:46:59 > 0:47:02- That's so cute. - I think we've done pretty well.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04I think we've all done spectacularly well.
0:47:04 > 0:47:05And I am fascinated.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09- Shall we go and talk about our sales behind our backs?- I think we should.
0:47:09 > 0:47:10- Let's go and have a chat.- Come on.
0:47:11 > 0:47:15'Out of earshot, what do they really make of each other's lots?'
0:47:15 > 0:47:18What do you think of the African figures?
0:47:18 > 0:47:19Well, they're brand-new.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22I mean, let's be honest, they're just off the plane.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25- THEY LAUGH - But you never know,
0:47:25 > 0:47:27it's the sort of quirky thing that someone might pick up on.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30I particularly like the ladder cos I'm a comedy ladder man.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32I'm always buying ladders. I've got five ladders at home.
0:47:32 > 0:47:37- Not sure about the strange sort of demonic cutlery.- I like that.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39I do like it, but it's a bit weird.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42I don't know. It all depends who's there on the day, doesn't it?
0:47:42 > 0:47:45- Whose do you prefer?- Ours.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49- Yay! We can say that. - I do. I really do.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51TIM: No shame in that, Sarah.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54After starting way back in Guildford in Surrey,
0:47:54 > 0:47:56Sarah and Peter are now en route
0:47:56 > 0:47:58to auction in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05- Obviously, Pinocchio I love.- Yes. - But I'm quite sad that he's going...
0:48:05 > 0:48:07Do you think he'll come to life today at the auction?
0:48:07 > 0:48:10- I hope so, Peter.- Do you think if someone offers him for a fiver,
0:48:10 > 0:48:13- he might sort of spring to life and object?- I hope you're allowed...
0:48:13 > 0:48:15I mean, I hope he's allowed to do that.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18Mm. Me too.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20Natasha and Catherine have already arrived
0:48:20 > 0:48:23in the historic riverside town of Tewkesbury
0:48:23 > 0:48:26and are waiting for their celebrity partners
0:48:26 > 0:48:27at Church Street Auctions.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30- ENGINE REVS - Can you hear what I can here?
0:48:30 > 0:48:31I can hear a roaring.
0:48:31 > 0:48:35- Listen to her roar! - The roar of success!
0:48:35 > 0:48:39- All right, steady on.- Look, these girls look ready for action.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42You look absolutely beautiful! Look at this gorgeous dress.
0:48:42 > 0:48:43Thank you very much.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46- That, to me, is a winning dress. - Is it?- Yeah.
0:48:46 > 0:48:50- Don't worry. You get to drive it after the auction, too.- Do I?
0:48:50 > 0:48:52- You sure do.- Oh, we're leaving. I'll take it home.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54Feeling positive. Feeling good.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57- We're just talking of auctions, are you feeling lucky?- Yeah.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59- Are you feeling lucky? - Are you all right?- I am, actually.
0:48:59 > 0:49:00- Very Art Deco.- We are positive!
0:49:00 > 0:49:03- Shall we take our positive energy indoors?- I think we should.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05- Ladies, after you. - We'll follow in your wake, I think.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10On this Road Trip, Sarah and Catherine spent £303
0:49:10 > 0:49:12on five auction lots.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16While Peter and Natasha also bought five lots,
0:49:16 > 0:49:21spending every single penny of their £400 budget.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24The man presiding over today's auction is Beau Howell.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27So, what does he make of our celebrities' lots?
0:49:27 > 0:49:29..at £8.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31The Swiss watch, I like very much, the silver one,
0:49:31 > 0:49:32I think that's lovely.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34And the wrought iron birdbaths,
0:49:34 > 0:49:37it's a shame that the fire's with them, but I like them a lot.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39I think they're great pieces.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42Find your seats, you two, as you're first up...
0:49:44 > 0:49:47..with the brass vases and unusual horn letter opener.
0:49:47 > 0:49:4915, anyone?
0:49:51 > 0:49:54Come on. They've got to be worth that. It's yours for 15, surely.
0:49:54 > 0:49:55Surely.
0:49:55 > 0:49:57- IN COCKNEY ACCENT:- Tenner! Anyone at all? £10.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00He doesn't sound like he's from Tewkesbury, does he?
0:50:00 > 0:50:02- £10 I've got. 12 anywhere?- Come on.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05- All finished at 10.- Come on. Surely.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07Are you finished? Are you sure?
0:50:07 > 0:50:08Sold for 10.
0:50:10 > 0:50:11Not the best of starts.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15Onwards and upwards, we hope.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18I think people are not in a spending mood, unfortunately.
0:50:18 > 0:50:22Well, Sarah, hopefully someone will want to fork out for
0:50:22 > 0:50:25your 20th century French apple orchard ladder.
0:50:25 > 0:50:30I have a couple of bids on it and I can go in at £60.
0:50:30 > 0:50:31- No!- Yeah!
0:50:31 > 0:50:33- £60 I've got.- That's brilliant! Sorry.
0:50:33 > 0:50:3765 anywhere? All finished at £60?
0:50:39 > 0:50:42THEY LAUGH
0:50:42 > 0:50:46A small but sweet profit there for Sarah and Catherine.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48- £10, anyone?- Utterly amazed. - That's very good.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50- You're well in the lead. - I'm really surprised.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53You shouldn't be to shocked. You did buy them.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55You might have to get up and do a bit of an act, Peter.
0:50:55 > 0:50:56All right, OK.
0:50:56 > 0:51:00Yes, Peter, as it's the turn of your porcelain puppet.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Hello, everybody!
0:51:03 > 0:51:05Would he like to bid?
0:51:05 > 0:51:08Not until somebody else does, no. Would you like to bid?
0:51:08 > 0:51:09No, I don't bid!
0:51:09 > 0:51:11£10 for him? Tenner?
0:51:11 > 0:51:14£10? Come on. He's worth £10.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17- 10, I've got.- Thank you, sir. You're kind. You take me home.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19- I cook and clean for you.- £12?
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Are you all finished at 10?
0:51:21 > 0:51:23You're not going to let him go for that, surely?
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Don't sell me! Don't sell me!
0:51:25 > 0:51:29- THEY LAUGH - All done?- I hate you!
0:51:29 > 0:51:31- Yours, sir.- There you go, mate.
0:51:32 > 0:51:33Thanks a lot.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36- May you be very happy together. - LAUGHTER
0:51:36 > 0:51:41Despite Peter's performance, that's another loss. Rotten luck.
0:51:41 > 0:51:45We bought it for 25, it sold for 10. A good strong second for us there.
0:51:47 > 0:51:51Maybe Sarah's vintage skis will be more to this crowd's liking.
0:51:51 > 0:51:54- £10 for them. - Could you sell them separately?
0:51:54 > 0:51:58- £10 I've got.- There you go. He's amazed.
0:51:58 > 0:51:5912.
0:51:59 > 0:52:0114.
0:52:01 > 0:52:0416. 18. 20.
0:52:04 > 0:52:0622.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08- Here you go.- 24.- Oh, my God. You've got some actual bidding.
0:52:08 > 0:52:1025. No?
0:52:10 > 0:52:14£25, straight down there. All finished at £25?
0:52:14 > 0:52:17CATHERINE SIGHS Another loss there.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20Where are all the Blue Peter fans when you need them, hey?
0:52:20 > 0:52:24It's slightly bizarre. Do you think they know something we don't?
0:52:24 > 0:52:28Surely your incongruous linked birdbaths
0:52:28 > 0:52:31and early 20th-century wood-burner will sell well, Peter.
0:52:31 > 0:52:36- And I go in at £200.- Yes! - Wow, that's very good.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39£200 I've got. 220 anywhere?
0:52:39 > 0:52:40- 220.- That's it, sir.
0:52:40 > 0:52:43- 240.- Go on!
0:52:43 > 0:52:47250. 260. 270.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50Nope. 260, on my right.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53All finished at 260. All done?
0:52:53 > 0:52:57Yes! Yes!
0:52:57 > 0:53:01Finally, a profit for Peter and Natasha. Hurrah!
0:53:01 > 0:53:03Well done. Well done, well done.
0:53:03 > 0:53:06- That's brilliant.- Well done! - That was fantastic.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09It was, indeed.
0:53:09 > 0:53:12Right, can Sarah and Catherine pull in a profit
0:53:12 > 0:53:14with their silver heart-shaped fob watch?
0:53:15 > 0:53:19- 50 I've got. Is there 55 anywhere? - Come on!
0:53:19 > 0:53:21- It is worth a lot, lot more than that.- It is. Come on.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24All finished at £50. Are you sure?
0:53:24 > 0:53:26It's incredibly beautiful, I have to tell you.
0:53:26 > 0:53:28No?
0:53:29 > 0:53:32Ah! So close yet so far. What a shame.
0:53:33 > 0:53:38- We loved it.- And that's all that matters.- Yes.- It is.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40Well, not if you want to win, it's not.
0:53:41 > 0:53:45Peter and Natasha's pair of lead glass windows are up next.
0:53:45 > 0:53:4840 I've got. 45 anyway?
0:53:50 > 0:53:5245. 50. Do you want 55?
0:53:52 > 0:53:5655 I'm out on the floor. 55. 60 anywhere?
0:53:56 > 0:53:59- All done?- Oh, that's sore.- No!
0:53:59 > 0:54:02- That's sore. - THEY GROAN
0:54:02 > 0:54:05Ouch. It is indeed another disappointing loss there.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08- Someone's got a deal there, haven't they?- I tell you what,
0:54:08 > 0:54:11there are some bargains being got today, aren't there?
0:54:11 > 0:54:15Time now for Sarah and Catherine's priciest purchase,
0:54:15 > 0:54:18their 19th-century terracotta chimney pots.
0:54:18 > 0:54:24- £60 I've got. 65 anywhere? - There's two!- 65. 67.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26Do you want 70? 70 I'm out.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28- That's it. That's it.- 70. 75.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32No? 75. 77 anywhere?
0:54:32 > 0:54:36- All finished at 75?- Oh, no. Surely not.- All done?- Come on.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39- 77.- Ah!
0:54:39 > 0:54:41Come on!
0:54:41 > 0:54:4480. 82?
0:54:44 > 0:54:4782. Come on. 84?
0:54:47 > 0:54:4884.
0:54:48 > 0:54:50No? 84 on my left.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53All finished at £84. All done.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58- Thank you.- 1984. - Now, how about the other one?
0:55:01 > 0:55:03Nice try, Sarah, nice try.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06- Wait for the final reckoning. - I know.
0:55:08 > 0:55:09Here it comes, Peter, your last lot,
0:55:09 > 0:55:13the pair of carved African fertility figures.
0:55:13 > 0:55:16£20, someone?
0:55:16 > 0:55:17Look at them, the weight of them!
0:55:17 > 0:55:2215? Anyone at all? £15 for two African fertility figures.
0:55:22 > 0:55:23Come on now.
0:55:23 > 0:55:25Come on. They're worth that, surely.
0:55:25 > 0:55:27Tenner?
0:55:27 > 0:55:29Here we go.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32- £10?- £10!
0:55:32 > 0:55:34- Fiver?- A fiver?!
0:55:34 > 0:55:37All right. I'll buy 'em for a fiver.
0:55:37 > 0:55:39Yes!
0:55:39 > 0:55:40I'll see you at the stage door.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42What a hero.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44- Sold to me.- Well done. - Sold to the auctioneer.
0:55:44 > 0:55:48I love that auctioneer. He is the best auctioneer I've ever met.
0:55:48 > 0:55:50Well, they've sold, just.
0:55:50 > 0:55:53Sadly, Peter and Natasha end on another loss.
0:55:53 > 0:55:55He's bought them for six.
0:55:55 > 0:55:58He bought them for five.
0:55:58 > 0:56:02- Didn't he bid against himself for six?- No.- Five. OK.
0:56:02 > 0:56:05It's been a tough old crowd today.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07But what will they think of the final lot,
0:56:07 > 0:56:12Sarah and Catherine's Art Deco silver hors d'oeuvre servers?
0:56:12 > 0:56:1415, anyone? £15?
0:56:14 > 0:56:17£15 I've got. 17 anywhere?
0:56:17 > 0:56:20That's a start. Come on. 17?
0:56:20 > 0:56:23Anyone at all? £17?
0:56:23 > 0:56:25Nobody's interested. What's happening?
0:56:25 > 0:56:27I know. They were our best...
0:56:29 > 0:56:32Oh, dear. No happy ending there, it would seem.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34- Let's go and do maths.- Must we?
0:56:34 > 0:56:35- Let's do it.- We must, we must.- OK.
0:56:36 > 0:56:39- Nice bloke, though. - Yes, yes. Thank you.
0:56:40 > 0:56:42After beginning with £400,
0:56:42 > 0:56:44sadly, Peter and Natasha made a loss
0:56:44 > 0:56:47of £121.20
0:56:47 > 0:56:50after paying auction costs,
0:56:50 > 0:56:55which means they end their journey with £278.80.
0:56:56 > 0:57:01Sarah and Catherine also kicked off with £400 and unfortunately
0:57:01 > 0:57:03they too made a loss after auction costs
0:57:03 > 0:57:06of £111.12,
0:57:06 > 0:57:11which means they're crowned today's winning losers, so as to speak,
0:57:11 > 0:57:15finishing with £288.88.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17So close. I call that quits, actually.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19- I think so, too.- It's a draw!
0:57:19 > 0:57:22- It's a draw.- Well done! - Well done, everyone.
0:57:22 > 0:57:25What I've learnt from this experience is all you need in life
0:57:25 > 0:57:28is an E-Type Jaguar and two lovely ladies to share
0:57:28 > 0:57:29the passenger seat with you.
0:57:29 > 0:57:31- I hope I'm one of those.- Yes, two!
0:57:31 > 0:57:35- Well, talking of E-Types. You've got to jump in it now.- Oh.- It's the end.
0:57:35 > 0:57:37- The end of the road. - Not in that car again.
0:57:37 > 0:57:41- It's been a pleasure. - And you, darling.- Well done.
0:57:41 > 0:57:43- Good luck.- Bye!- Thank you!
0:57:43 > 0:57:46And so, despite the disappointments, our celebrities depart with a smile.
0:57:48 > 0:57:51ENGINE STARTS
0:57:51 > 0:57:55- BOTH:- Bye-bye!- Bye!
0:57:57 > 0:58:02What's been your best bit about being on the Antiques Road Trip?
0:58:02 > 0:58:05- REVS ENGINE - Oh.
0:58:05 > 0:58:06I thought you were going to say being with me.
0:58:06 > 0:58:10Just sitting in this white E-Type Jag with you by my side,
0:58:10 > 0:58:13- talking of old times.- Oh!
0:58:13 > 0:58:15I mean, let's forget all the buying and the selling
0:58:15 > 0:58:18and the extraordinary disaster that happened.
0:58:18 > 0:58:21I used to have a model of this when I was a little boy, this car,
0:58:21 > 0:58:24you know, so this is like some sort of childhood fantasy.
0:58:24 > 0:58:26- It's a dream come true.- It is. - A dream come true.
0:58:26 > 0:58:28Well, isn't that nice.
0:58:28 > 0:58:30Until we meet again.
0:58:30 > 0:58:32Ta-ta, roadtrippers.
