0:00:02 > 0:00:03The nation's favourite celebrities...
0:00:03 > 0:00:06- Oh, I like that. - ..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 > 0:00:14TUNELESS BELLOW
0:00:14 > 0:00:16- Yes!- Fantastic. - I'll do that in slow-mo.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22- Come on, boys. - But it's no easy ride.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25- Ta-da!- Who will find a hidden gem?
0:00:25 > 0:00:28- "Don't sell me!" - Who will take the biggest risks?
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Go away, darling.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Will anybody follow expert advice?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34I'm trying to spend money here.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35There will be worthy winners...
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- Yes!- ..and valiant losers.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Put your pedal to the metal.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Yeah!
0:00:52 > 0:00:55On today's show, we have a pair of luvvies
0:00:55 > 0:00:57from the sparkling world of stage and TV -
0:00:57 > 0:01:01the delectable Ruth Madoc and fizzy Su Pollard.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05And as neither drive, they have their own chauffeur.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07TIM CHORTLES
0:01:07 > 0:01:11I wonder if the chauffeur comes with the car.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Ah, well.- Hire them both!
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Hello, gorgeous.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18What are we going to call him?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I don't know, what can we call him?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22What about Parker?
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Oh, that's a good idea.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Oh, and we could be Lady Penelopes One and Two.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Yes, One and Two, dear.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- One and Two.- That's us for today!
0:01:30 > 0:01:32OK, Lady Penelopes.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Su and Ruth are being driven through the countryside, as you'd expect,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40in a pre-seatbelt era stately 1978 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Look at that.- I'm really looking forward to this.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Yes, so am I, because, you know,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47it's something that I don't think you or I, either of us,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- have ever done.- No, no, we haven't.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52So we're virgins as far as antiques are concerned.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53We are, dear.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Yes, as far as antiques are concerned.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58The ladies are best known for their jolly japes
0:01:58 > 0:02:02in the much-loved British sitcom Hi-De-Hi!
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Rada-trained actress Ruth played Gladys Pugh,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08the chief yellow coat that was renowned
0:02:08 > 0:02:09for her bing-bong announcements.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11BING-BONG CHIMES
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Hi-de-ho!
0:02:13 > 0:02:17The flamboyant Su played the dizzy chalet girl, Peggy.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21The programme ran for nine years in the '80s.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Ruth and Su struck up a strong friendship
0:02:25 > 0:02:27on the set of the fictional holiday camp.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31They each have a bag of money totalling £400
0:02:31 > 0:02:33and Su's got it all sewn up.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37I'm a big believer in everybody sharing the win,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40so when I win, you know,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44when I win I will be taking you out
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- for a nice little slap-up something or other!- Hey!
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Today's experts are dashing auctioneers
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Raj Bisram and Philip Serrell.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Do they know what's going to hit them?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Phil, you've been doing it so much, the Road Trip,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00you must have been up against everybody that there is.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Except you, Raj.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Except me.- Yeah, yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04And so it's 0-0.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Yeah, absolutely.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10You know, we've got the first half to play, 0-0, who's going to win?
0:03:12 > 0:03:13It's not football, Phil.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18The fellas are in a pillar-box red VW Beetle from 1970 to scoot around
0:03:18 > 0:03:20the countryside in. Get it?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I'm your driver.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23- I'm your driver!- Fantastic.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Would you not prefer if I sat in the back?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I'd be a lot happier and do you mind if I talk to you?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Oh, not at all!- What a pair, eh?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35And over in the big Roller...
0:03:35 > 0:03:38It's a pity we're not going round together, you and I.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39I think it would have been mayhem.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Yeah, but can you imagine? We'd never get anything done,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44we'd talk each other to death.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47We'd never be able to buy anything and they'd be going "Cut!
0:03:47 > 0:03:51"Ladies, ladies, can you please take an interest in the purchase?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53"All you're doing is gabbing!"
0:03:53 > 0:03:56THEY LAUGH
0:03:56 > 0:03:58And the trip hasn't even started yet.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Our adventure begins in the Welsh border town of Monmouth,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07moving south to the city of Cardiff,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10charging east and west of South Wales
0:04:10 > 0:04:14before finally auctioning in the Cheshire town of Congleton.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- What fun!- Oh, my God.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18It's a Rolls-Royce.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19And they've got a driver.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Have they?- Yeah. So, we're decided, yeah? I'm going with Ruth,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- you're going with Su, yeah? - Go on, then.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27What about cars, who's having which car?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28I've got to have the Roller.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I mean, you know, I'm suited to a Roller.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32That's you told them, Phil.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40- IN PLUMMY VOICE:- Oh, my dear Parker, you did a marvellous job.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41- PHILIP:- Su, how are you?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- RUTH:- Hello! - Hello, Ruth.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I'm really well, thank you, are you?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Yeah, good to see you. - I know, it's fantastic.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49We can have a kiss, can't we?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Blimey, it's like a luvvies' convention here.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Nice to see you.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55This is so nice.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57They said that you'd toned down everything over the years.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Sorry, I'm really sorry to be a disappointment.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Excuse me, though, but Ms Madoc has risen to the occasion, hasn't she?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Well, I've tried. I knew I had to compete with Madame here.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Well, you look marvellous.- Right, time to hit the road, you lot.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Come on. Good luck.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- See you, then. Bye. - We're going here.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15We're going... Are we?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Yes, you are. Let's begin with Su and Phil.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21The deal is that I'm in charge of driving.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Yes.- You're in charge of navigations.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Where are we?- Well, exactly.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I mean, I'm obviously not taking you anywhere that I know.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32All I know is that we're going down a fabulous road.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Do you know what they call this? - Lost.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Yes.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Crikey!
0:05:37 > 0:05:39What about Ruth and Raj?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I mean, this is lovely, isn't it?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44A Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Isn't it lovely? - I mean, this is wonderful.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Yes, it takes me back, this.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49I used to have one of these
0:05:49 > 0:05:53when I was in Hi-De-Hi! cos I had to open so many shops and things,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55so we decided that we'd buy one of these.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Ours was white like this, very, very similar to this.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Very posh, Ruth.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Our colourful Su and Phil have actually found
0:06:04 > 0:06:08their first shopping destination - The Yard in Monmouth.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Stand by.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Well, why don't I go down this end, if you like,
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- and you go down that end? - Do not... Do not... Now, you behave.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22- No, no, no...- You behave.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- You behave.- No!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Er, don't think there's much chance of that.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32That's like a press, isn't it? So that the juice...
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Yeah.- Like a cider press, so you press the apples or whatever.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Oh, is that what it's for?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Then the juice runs down these channels.- Oh, I see.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41It's 495 quid, honey.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Bit out of our price range. - Oh, no, that's no good.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44And I don't think it's worth that.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- That looks ridiculous.- Ridiculous.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47That should be worth about £45.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49See, she's good, isn't she? She's on the money.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51We're going to do very well together.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53We're going to do really, really well together.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I'm going to spot something and I will spot something,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- hopefully.- Go on, then, spot.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Oh, I've spotted that.- What?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I've spotted that. It's Rupert.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I wonder if they come together.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Rupert and the... Oh, get on it, get on the trike.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09What? I can't get on there.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Of course you can, it'll be fabulous and your wig is OK,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- cos it's not windy at all. - Stop talking, I'm not a wig!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Now you mention it, Su, is that his real hair?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I just think it's... Oh, go on, can't you get on that?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Look at me and look at the size of that, would you?
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Just pretend, then.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28- Yes.- Oh, go on.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31No, that's no good at all, that.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33How much is that? 35 quid.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Now, you see, I don't think that's bad.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Bless him, he's very nice, he's ever so cuddly and, you know,
0:07:39 > 0:07:40lovely face.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42It doesn't matter about the wig.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Nothing. Fine, fine.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45It's not a wig.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47# Ru-pert... #
0:07:47 > 0:07:53And the cuddly Rupert, not the cuddly Phil, has a tag of £28.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Oh.- What? - Hang on, I've seen something.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- The old pub table.- Yes, I just... You know why, what leapt out at me?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02It was the actual colours.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Sort of shabby chic, isn't it?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- Yes.- I like that. - Oh, I'm so glad you like it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08No, I do like that.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09The top needs sorting.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course it does.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13It could do with a bit of a polish,
0:08:13 > 0:08:20but this late Victorian pub table has a hefty price tag of £145.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Let's depart from the whirlwind couple
0:08:22 > 0:08:28to join our calm and serene Ruth and Raj. R and R, Rolls and Royce.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Now, I'm not terribly good at haggling.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I know the phrase, "Is that your best price?"
0:08:36 > 0:08:38But don't worry, Ruth, you will be...
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- I'll have you negotiating by the end of this.- Right, OK.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43My husband will be so pleased.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46You betcha. Ruth and Raj have travelled to the city of Newport
0:08:46 > 0:08:48in south-east Wales.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Now, let's see if Raj can put Ruth through her paces in here,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56unbelievably called the Strawberry Water Junk Company.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Looks lovely - the shop, that is.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03That is a celery jar.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Absolutely correct.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05That is a celery jar.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Yeah.- Yeah. You are astounding me with your knowledge, Ruth,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12because I'm telling you now,
0:09:12 > 0:09:17I know antique dealers who've been in the business for 15 years or so
0:09:17 > 0:09:21and they would not recognise that as a celery glass, so well done.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Impressive, Ruth.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Anything else catch your eye, love?
0:09:26 > 0:09:30That is actually a really nice little cocktail set.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33It's got a little bit of a dent in it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Bit of a dent.- I mean, these are very collectable.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I mean, it's a little bit tatty, it's got a few bits missing.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42It's got £15 on the ticket, Ruth.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- We could do ten.- Right.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Ten? I'm going to go for less.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51- OK.- The 1930s silver-plated cocktail set is from Sheffield silversmiths
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Walker & Hall.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57With the current popularity of cocktails and all things vintage,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59this could be a good option.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01And there would have been a stirring spoon here.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Yeah, there. - That... That is a saleable thing.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05John. John.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08What we need now, we need a "Hi-de-Hi!"
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Hi-de-Hi!- Hi-de-ho!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14While Ruth and Raj track down owner John,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16let's take a gander at Su and Phil.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19They're still causing havoc in the town of Monmouth.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Oh, no, not a scooter.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Ah, this is cool, though.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25It's very sturdy.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Vroom-vroom!- I can feel one of my headaches coming on.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Have you ever relaxed?
0:10:33 > 0:10:34- Yeah.- Ever?- Yeah.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- This is what you do, you know. - SHE BREATHES DEEPLY
0:10:38 > 0:10:40And relax.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I don't want to, I get excited.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Right, no, you hide it so well.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Oh, look...- Phil's got his hands full today.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Oh, I can't see, dear.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51I'll have to borrow your glasses.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Go on, swap. Yes, that's it!
0:10:55 > 0:10:58TIM GUFFAWS
0:10:58 > 0:10:59- Hellfire.- Yes.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Bloody hellfire. You really can't see, can you?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I can't. Hopeless!
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- No.- But they suit you.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Man, you look cool.- Really?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12You're wigged and glassed up now.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14It's there, look, ahead of us.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Show me, show me, show me.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16OK.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I just like it because it reminds me of, you know,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24chimney tops and rooftops on the top of the buildings.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25So you've got your roof like that.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27That sits on the end.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29That's the gable end there.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- I see.- And then you've got joints that come down like that.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Yeah, that's it. - I think that's really cool.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36So of course you look at the detail again. It's stars.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- It's nice, isn't it? - Star shape. I think that is...
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- And you are a star.- Yes, of course, you see, oh, well, yes, yes, yes.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44He has noticed.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46How hip is that?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Ticket price £45.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49It's not a wig. Pull it.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- It isn't a wig.- Oh, hang on, no, I've just seen the glue.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Get out of here!
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Get out of here!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03While they go and glue Phil's hair back on,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06why don't we zip back to Ruth and Raj?
0:12:06 > 0:12:10It's a little less chaotic over in Strawberry Water Junk Company.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14This little cocktail set, John, it's not all there, as you know.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16There's quite a few things missing from it.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18What's the best on that?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24To you, my dear, a tenner.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26That's what I thought you'd come back with.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- It's a bargain. - I've got a price in mind.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Because it's missing all these little bits, OK, what about a fiver?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Gulp.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Eight quid and I'll find you a spoon.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Eight quid and you'll find us a spoon?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I'm not going to quibble with that.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Hang on, I've got to consult my partner,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- No, I think that's very good. - Are you happy with that?- Yes.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46In that case, Ruth, I think you should shake his hand.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Thank you very much. - John, we have a purchase.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Diolch yn fawr.- Thank you very much indeed.- Well done.- Brilliant.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Our first purchase.- There we go.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57A rather snazzy cocktail set for an unbelievable £8,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00with the promised bone-handled spoon.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03And we're not stopping for breath
0:13:03 > 0:13:05on the whirlwind Su Pollard Express.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Go on, then. That's it.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Watch this. It's all about your weight transference.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10I've got a lot of that to transfer!
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Hop, two, three and four.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14And hop, two, three and four.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Hop, two, three and four.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- That's brilliant, actually. - Hop, two, three and...
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- I've got the hang of this.- Fred Astaire has got no need to worry.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Heavens above.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Now, how about actually buying something, you two?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30As a refresher, they've rooted out Rupert Bear and the trike,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32priced at £63,
0:13:32 > 0:13:36the Victorian pub table for £145 and the terracotta end tile
0:13:36 > 0:13:39priced for £45.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Watch out, dealer Dave, you don't know what's about to hit you.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47We'll give you 150 quid for the table,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49the tile and the bike and the bear.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- I need to work this out.- I'll tell you exactly what it works out at.
0:13:52 > 0:13:58We've got to get the pub table at 90 quid and it puts the roofing tile
0:13:58 > 0:14:02in at 25 quid and it puts that in at 35 quid and that's a fair deal.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Yeah, that's fine, cos I can give it up on the teddy.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- That's no trouble at all. - Oh, you're a star!
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Shake his hand, give him a kiss.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Oh, no, no, no, forget the handshake. Mwah!
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Oh, look at that, that's the best lipstick colour you can ever get.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- Superb.- I don't think Dave cares about the lipstick colour, Su,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22he just wants to get you out of the shop.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27This kooky twosome have got a massive £103 discount.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Now, back to Ruth and Raj.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32The lovely Ruth is getting into the swing of things.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Right, now, then, Raj.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37There was something in this window I thought was rather interesting.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41See this aeroplane here with this little ashtray underneath?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I know it's got Swissair on it.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45I still think that's quite nice.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I like that. I mean, these aeronautical collectables
0:14:48 > 0:14:51are very, very collectable. The only thing...
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I love the shape of the plane and everything,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55it looks like an old Boeing,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58but what is against it is the fact that it is an ashtray.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I know that, and I know they are not popular.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06But they could put bonbons in it or anything, couldn't they?
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Swiss chocolate?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Swiss chocolate!
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Now this plan is coming together.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12I like it.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Ruth, time for you to take control of proceedings.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17What price do you think?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I would not pay any more than about 15.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22OK. OK, let's see.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24John. Ruth, you go ahead.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28John, you see this little ashtray with the aeroplane, the Swiss one?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31How much is that?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- 75.- 75?!- Yep.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Oh...
0:15:35 > 0:15:36What's your best price?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Spoken like a pro.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Because it's you, I'll do 45 quid.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- 45.- I think that's still...
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Can I step in here?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47We did say, we had a price in mind, and we were very, very close to it.
0:15:47 > 0:15:4925?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I was thinking more 20.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- And it's got one blade missing. - Has it?
0:15:53 > 0:15:54It's got a blade missing.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- A blade missing?- Oh.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Well, it's got to be 15, then.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- It's got to be 15, then. - Sorry, presh.- Yeah?
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Yeah?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- For you, go on. - Oh, you're a boy and a half.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- There we go.- Thank you, babes.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13- Thank you.- Blooming heck, Ruth is pretty ruthless.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16That's £60 discount on the Swissair ashtray.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20I think it would be good for Swiss chocolates, too, Ruth.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Now, what about the other two?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- SHE RAPS:- # I am on the road with Phil
0:16:25 > 0:16:27# He certainly isn't over the hill
0:16:27 > 0:16:29# He's always in a jovial mood
0:16:29 > 0:16:32# In fact he's a regular all-round dude.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- BOTH:- # Say Phil! - Two, three, four.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- # Say Phil! - Two, three, four.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- # Say Phil! # - I like this a lot.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42CHUCKLING: Oh, dear!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Su and Phil have detoured from the planned route
0:16:44 > 0:16:47and ended up in the rural village of Itton...
0:16:48 > 0:16:51..in Monmouthshire. Phil loves shopping off the beaten track,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54and it doesn't have to be an actual shop, you know.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Farms are his thing.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Prepare yourself, Su!
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- What can we buy off you, then? - Buy?- We want to buy something.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- We have come here to buy something off you.- Oh, dear.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Don't care what it is.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Bit of an old plough, bit of old railings, bit of old gate.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Bit of old anything, really.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Anything.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14DOG BARKS
0:17:14 > 0:17:15What are these things there, look?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18They are called hames, aren't they?
0:17:18 > 0:17:23Sure enough, friendly farmer Andrew has found some horses' hames.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27This peculiar-looking piece of horse equipage was an early invention
0:17:27 > 0:17:29attached to the side of the harness
0:17:29 > 0:17:33which allowed the horse to breathe better as it ploughed the fields.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- Over to you, Phil.- What do you want for that lot there, then?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Yeah, don't bother getting out of the car, eh, Phil?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41How's about two quid?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Brisk business, this!
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- Done! Right, I have been. - You can't give him...- I've just...
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- You shut up...- You can't give him two...- Whose side are you on?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52You can't give him just two quid.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Give him ten.- No!
0:17:54 > 0:17:59- He wants us to win.- Actually, that's very true. Here, I've got it.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Could you lob them in the back for me?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03We'll get off, then. Thank you ever so much.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Horse hames.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06You've been fabulous, thank you!
0:18:06 > 0:18:07See you soon, Andrew, bye!
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Thanks very much.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Bye, darlings. Oh!
0:18:11 > 0:18:16Yes, Andrew and Colin, that really did just happen.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20£2 for the horses' hames on our impromptu farm visit.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Let's hope the Beetle goes forwards, too.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Now, let's join Raj as he gets to know his new chum, Ruth.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I come from a nursing family.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36My great-aunt was one of the very first midwives,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39certified midwives in Wales,
0:18:39 > 0:18:43and I grew up with stories about Florence Nightingale
0:18:43 > 0:18:47and a woman called Betsi Cadwaladr.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49You're in for a big surprise.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50- Am I?- Yes!
0:18:52 > 0:18:54That you are, my darling Ruth.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Our road tripping adventurers
0:18:56 > 0:19:00are heading to the capital city of Wales, Cardiff.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05When we think of nursing heroines, the lady with the lamp -
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Florence Nightingale - springs to mind.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12But what about Betsi Cadwaladr from rural Wales?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15After reading about the devastation
0:19:15 > 0:19:19of the sick and wounded in the Crimean War of 1854,
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Betsi was determined to sign up for military nursing service.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Gutsy and spirited,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Betsi was a contemporary of Florence Nightingale.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32They shared plucky determination to save the fallen.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Ruth and Raj are meeting with emeritus professor
0:19:36 > 0:19:39and stalwart of Welsh nursing Donna Mead
0:19:39 > 0:19:42at the University Hospital of Wales.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44How old was she, then, Donna?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47She was in her mid-60s when she presented herself to go.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51The advertisement wanted ladies of good breeding, good stock,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54because Nightingale famously said
0:19:54 > 0:19:56all that is needed to be a good nurse
0:19:56 > 0:19:57is to be a good woman.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02The age restriction for nurses going to the Crimea was 40.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06So determined was Betsi to help the sick and wounded
0:20:06 > 0:20:11that she lied about her age. Despite being 25 years over the age limit,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Betsi was accepted to travel to one of the bloodiest battles
0:20:14 > 0:20:16known to man.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20When she arrived, we are told there were eight miles of beds...
0:20:22 > 0:20:24..to walk through.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26So the need was great.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29But Betsi was kept waiting for three weeks,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31and she hadn't seen a soldier,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33she hadn't seen a single patient,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36she wasn't even allowed to roll bandages.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37So in the end,
0:20:37 > 0:20:42she complained most bitterly and most vociferously about this,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44and eventually,
0:20:44 > 0:20:46what we realise is that Nightingale
0:20:46 > 0:20:50didn't want Betsi to go anywhere near the soldiers
0:20:50 > 0:20:51because she was Welsh.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Purely just because she was Welsh?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58That was the main reason. Two, she was of the lower classes,
0:20:58 > 0:21:02and not one of Nightingale's genteel ladies.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05And three, because she was a paid nurse,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08and Nightingale believed to be a nurse
0:21:08 > 0:21:11you had to be a woman of sufficient means financially
0:21:11 > 0:21:13that you didn't need paying.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17So Betsi had the stigma hat-trick.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Betsi would not be fazed by Florence's prejudice,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23and with fire in her belly decided to fight for a chance
0:21:23 > 0:21:24to nurse the desperately sick.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Nightingale eventually compromised,
0:21:26 > 0:21:30and sent Betsi to the heart of the fighting at Balaclava.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34She hadn't been there very long...
0:21:35 > 0:21:38..and she was making such a difference
0:21:38 > 0:21:39that she was put in charge
0:21:39 > 0:21:43of the seven wards and the feeding kitchen.
0:21:43 > 0:21:49She was 65 years old, plus, by now, she was working 20-hour days,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52sleeping on a mat on the floor.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Balaclava means a filthy lake, a filthy place,
0:21:56 > 0:22:00and the lake itself was sewage and it was full of infection,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03so she began to become ill.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08But Nightingale was really impressed with what Betsi had achieved.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Betsi's story is one of a formidable lady
0:22:11 > 0:22:16that would not allow prejudice to prevent her from serving the wounded
0:22:16 > 0:22:19and dying in the bloody Crimean War.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21This exemplary work on the front line
0:22:21 > 0:22:24would ultimately lead to her death.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27After a year, a poorly Betsi returned to London
0:22:27 > 0:22:29suffering from cholera and dysentery.
0:22:29 > 0:22:35Five years later, in 1860, she died a pauper aged 71.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40Meanwhile, songstress Su has composed more of her Road Trip rap.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Oh, dear.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- SHE RAPS:- # He twists and turns that steering wheel
0:22:44 > 0:22:47# A drive for him is no big deal
0:22:47 > 0:22:50# He often does an Irish jig
0:22:50 > 0:22:52# And never once disturbs his wig
0:22:52 > 0:22:53- # Say Phil! - Phil! #
0:22:53 > 0:22:54You have to come in!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56You have not come in!
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Will you stop hitting me?!
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Su and Phil have travelled to the town of Chepstow in Monmouthshire -
0:23:04 > 0:23:05if you can call that travel.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07We were both having a discussion about
0:23:07 > 0:23:10how it would be nice to have a little bit of jewellery,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- something sparkly.- Yeah. - Oh, this is a fabulous shop, this.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16That lovely necklace there, that looks really lovely.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Sparkly-warkly.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Can we just...? Mind your wig.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Will you just leave...?- Hey, cheeky!
0:23:22 > 0:23:26In hot pursuit of something "sparkly-warkly",
0:23:26 > 0:23:29they enter Foxgloves Antiques for a bit of a mooch.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Or is it a smooch?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Oh, that's great, that. That's an absolute star, that is.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36You just have a look through there,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38I'm going to see if I can find anything else.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- OK.- Cheer up, Phil.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Could be worse. - # Say, Phil!
0:23:42 > 0:23:43# Two, three, four.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46# Say Phil! Two, three... #
0:23:46 > 0:23:49He's...
0:23:49 > 0:23:51He doesn't know I've got another eight verses to come.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I'm sure that's just what he needs!
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Now, what's this?
0:23:59 > 0:24:03You see, I think this just might have the Pollard name to it.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04- Do you like that?- Oh, I do.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Really, or not?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08No, I absolutely do.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Look at that!
0:24:09 > 0:24:12You've got a brooch and a sea pearl.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14You've got a bit of bone just here.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Someone has put that together recently.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- It's not an aged thing.- Oh, right.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20But it's all old things that are in there.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Can you imagine that on a wall?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25You wouldn't really want to take that out, would you?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28No, I think that's just nice the way it is.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- I do.- I do.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34This is a little display of Victorian and Edwardian jewellery.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Charming in its own way.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38And it's quite sparkly-warkly, Su.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Here's owner Lesley to talk cash.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Watch out.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43You know what I'm going to ask.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- I do.- And I just think it's really, really lovely.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50So well put together, on a wall, just marvellous.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53And I note that it's 78.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Any chance of making it, like...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- ..50?- 55 and you've got a deal.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- 55?- You'll make a profit on that, I guarantee.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Maybe we could just buy you a cake for £5.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- A gin and tonic at this time of day! - We'll all go for that.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Why not, dear?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Go on, I'll give you some money.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21I didn't really, really want to go as low as that, but...
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- You're an angel. - I'm so thrilled if you would,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26it would be just so fabulous, because we have to win.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29But you have got a really good bargain.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31You're a star, thank you very much indeed.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35I think that's absolutely brilliant, thank you very much, Lesley.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Come on, cough up, you two.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38The cash is in Su's pocket.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Or it was.- You'll have to forage in the pocket.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I'm never going to wash this hand.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Are you a good forager?
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Oh, missus!
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Ooh, missus!
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- You've got a hole in your pocket. - So terrible.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52- This is the bit I like, really. - Really?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Shall I put it back?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- We haven't got time! - Of course we haven't got time.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58The rascals have handed over £50
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- for the lady's display of sparkly jewellery.- What do we say?
0:26:02 > 0:26:03# Say Phil!
0:26:03 > 0:26:04# Two, three, four.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05- # Say Phil! - Two, three, four.... #
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Come on, you. - You've got to get the right...
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Shopping over now for the day for all our road-tripping gang,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15and the girls are back together.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I think our best bet if we want to make any money
0:26:18 > 0:26:20is to go for jewellery.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21- Oh, yeah.- Don't you think?
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Oh, I do, absolutely.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26And even though it's only gold-plated or whatever,
0:26:26 > 0:26:31as long as it has got a name to that piece of jewellery,
0:26:31 > 0:26:36like a Cartier or a Chanel or even Vivienne Westwood.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- I agree. - What budget are you on, Ruth?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Now, go and get some shut eye before we do it all again tomorrow.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45So tiring. Nighty-night.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Our sparkling divas are up and at 'em,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58and discussing the art of the haggle.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I don't know about you, Ruth, but sometimes,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03when it comes to the haggling... "Oh, hello."
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Where do you start? I'm not used to it, dear.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09No. But I do have to say about yesterday
0:27:09 > 0:27:12that I did surprise myself.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I went in for the jugular at one particular point,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19and I looked at Raj and he went, "Oh, good!"
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Get her!
0:27:21 > 0:27:23He did. It was very funny.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Indeed. Now, what about the boys?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30After yesterday, Phil, are you looking forward to today?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34I am, but all I got yesterday was, "I say, I say..."
0:27:34 > 0:27:41And then she caught me one in the breadbasket with her handbag, bosh.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Hoo-hoo! Sounds painful!
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Yesterday our vivacious ladies of stage and screen
0:27:47 > 0:27:50entered the antiques arena full of dizzy excitement.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Yes, Su, I meant you.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Phil and Su bought a Rupert the Bear and trike,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59the pub table, the terracotta tile,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02the collection of horse stuff and the cased display
0:28:02 > 0:28:05of Victorian and Edwardian sparkly things,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08giving them £198 to play with today.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Ruth and Raj bought a 1930s cocktail set, very cheap,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16and the Swissair ashtray-cum-bonbon stand,
0:28:16 > 0:28:20and have a whack of £370 for the day ahead.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Goodness only knows what's going to happen today.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Our excited bunch are raring to go in a rather somewhat rainy Cardiff.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- How are you?- Fine, thank you.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34And our Su is champing at the bit.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Champing being the operative word.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- Look, the race is on now. - We've got to go, haven't we?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41You're late, anyway - ten minutes.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- We've got to go now, quick, because they're starting off.- Go on, then.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- See you!- Oh, Lordy.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Today our road-tripping gang are all sharing their first shop of the day.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Su and Phil are hatching a plan.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I don't like the look of this.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I know what I'm going to do.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00I would like to distract Ruth and Raj.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Faint into Raj's arms.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04- That'll occupy him. - Oh, that's a brilliant idea.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Whilst over in the Rolls...
0:29:07 > 0:29:11Today it's all about spend, spend, spend.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13We've got so much money, let's go...
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Even if we have to overpay.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16We must have a profit.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19OK, you really have got the dealer in you.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Well, in my estimation,
0:29:22 > 0:29:24it's no good buying something absolutely superb
0:29:24 > 0:29:26if it is not going to have a profit.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Blimey, don't get on the wrong side of her.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Now, let's see if our gang can rustle up some exciting deals
0:29:33 > 0:29:37in this converted Victorian pumping station, as you do.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Go, go, go!
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Quick, quick!
0:29:40 > 0:29:41- Go, go, go.- Are they coming?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- No, quick, quick!- OK.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46They're just like children, aren't they?
0:29:51 > 0:29:55With over 35 dealers here, let's leave them to have a rootle about,
0:29:55 > 0:29:57because the grown-ups have just arrived.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00Quite the gent, Raj.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Thank you so much!
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- My pleasure.- Oh, this is going to be so exciting.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07They are not hanging about, either.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08Now, what's this?
0:30:08 > 0:30:11These are the kind of things that would be nice to buy from here.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16Now, everybody thinks that Roman artefacts should be worth a fortune.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- Yeah, yeah.- Actually, you can buy them really reasonable.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23I mean, but that is not reproduced from a museum, is it?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- No, no.- I mean, is that genuine?
0:30:25 > 0:30:29- Yes.- Helpful dealer Nadine gets the owner of the Roman collection
0:30:29 > 0:30:31- on the blower.- Hello, Paul.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34And he has something in mind for Ruth and Raj.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36I see you've got some dice.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37Roman dice.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40And how much are they? Ah.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44There are five dice altogether with a price tag of £20 each.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Ducking and dicing, eh?
0:30:46 > 0:30:47You could do them for £10 each.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51That would be... 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52£50 for the five.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56But for Ruth, he will do it for a bit less.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58£40?
0:30:58 > 0:31:01I'll have a little think about that.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Two seconds. Just hold on.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Hold on, my lovely.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08I don't think that's too bad a price, myself.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12I don't. Do you think we should try a little bit more, or not?
0:31:12 > 0:31:13- Are you happy with that?- I am.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- Actually, to be honest...- I am.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16- I'm not kidding.- Yeah.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17I think that's not a bad price.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- I think that's fair. - Five Roman dice.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21For £40?
0:31:21 > 0:31:22I think that's very good.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Anything... Any little thing that you can throw in that you know of,
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- off your cuff?- Hasn't taken much training, has she?
0:31:30 > 0:31:31Yes?
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Fantastic.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37She's a natural. Not only has she closed the deal,
0:31:37 > 0:31:42she's also managed to clinch a Roman pen worth £60 into the mix.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Thank you, kind sir!
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Now, what about new best friends forever, Su and Phil?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Here you are, look. Oh, look at that!
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Can I just say that I'm a professional man?
0:31:52 > 0:31:53Oh, look at that!
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Hello, Doris!
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I'm respected by millions.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58Well, I wouldn't go that far.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00You told everybody I wear a wig...
0:32:00 > 0:32:02It's matching, it's matching.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03You dress me up like Danny LaDoo-Dah...
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- Just a minute, just a minute. - Danny da-who?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07And, she's not listening.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09The bag will work.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- The bag won't work.- Yeah, your hair's so real-looking, Phil.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14Got to watch the wig.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15- It's not a wig.- Of course it is.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Will you stop being in denial? You need treatment.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21There we are, look at that.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Superb!
0:32:27 > 0:32:29I can't stop laughing.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Oh, we've had some fun, haven't we?
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- Oh, yes.- It's got to be time for lunch.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- It's one of the best days of my life.- Yeah!
0:32:36 > 0:32:38You look marvellous.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40A real stunner!
0:32:40 > 0:32:45Anyway, while the kids play dressing up, what are the focused ones up to?
0:32:45 > 0:32:47I've just noticed here, they've got some...
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Roman beads!
0:32:48 > 0:32:50..Roman bead necklaces.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53If we could get all three for £50..?
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- Mmm, mmm. Yeah!- Or even £40.
0:32:55 > 0:33:01- OK.- Because the ticket on them is 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Paul the dealer, on the phone from earlier,
0:33:03 > 0:33:05also owns some Roman necklaces.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08What's that dog doing? Oh, yes, he's willing to take 45.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Thank you very, very much for what you've already given us,
0:33:12 > 0:33:14but I'm going to ask you,
0:33:14 > 0:33:18I'm really going to beg you if you would just take the fiver off.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Oh, you're a good man.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Thank you very, very, very much indeed.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Much appreciated.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Ruth and Raj are getting on ever so well.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Three Roman necklaces at £40 to add to their collection.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38Now, what about the others?
0:33:38 > 0:33:42They've got £198 left in Su's handbag.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- With a hole in it. - Do you work here, then, Keith?
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Yes, yes. I've got an antique stall downstairs.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49It's actually my son's stall.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51I love this. Absolutely love this.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- Yes, I do.- A lot of these were ship figureheads, weren't they?
0:33:54 > 0:33:55- Yeah, yeah.- 19th-century.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- Yeah.- And this one looks like...
0:33:58 > 0:34:00I mean, you can see down here, it's wooden, with plaster.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- Yeah, yeah.- And I would think this is later painting, isn't it?
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- Possibly, yeah.- You know, because he looks a bit cross-eyed.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Can you guess who it is, though?
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- The figurehead? - Oh, is it actually...
0:34:11 > 0:34:13It's supposed to be Jesus.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Interesting. A ship's figurehead was originally believed
0:34:16 > 0:34:20to placate the gods of the sea and ensure a safe passage...
0:34:20 > 0:34:22rather than scare them.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23It's a big old lump, isn't it?
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- Yeah.- How much is it?- £200.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30- Is that the finish of it?- That's the finish of it, as far as I know.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33That's what my boy said it is, so...
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Have we got that much?
0:34:35 > 0:34:36No.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- Oh, crikey.- We are close.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- Right, OK.- Well...
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- We've got...- Go on.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44We've got £198.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- That'll do.- That'll do, will it?
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Oh, you are excellent!
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Lordy! That was quick.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53And they've blown their budget.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56Back to Ruth and Raj -
0:34:56 > 0:34:59they're having a snoop amongst some pretty little bottles.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01That's a nice one.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03That's a sweet little one, yeah.
0:35:04 > 0:35:0675, though, it's the money.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- It's the money.- Well, that's because it's 19th-century
0:35:09 > 0:35:12and it's hallmarked silver. And guess who owns it.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13Dealer Paul!
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Raj calls his new best friend once more.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Would you do it for 45?
0:35:20 > 0:35:23INDISTINCT CHATTER ON PHONE
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Yeah, it's a very small, engraved silver one.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Yep? 45?
0:35:29 > 0:35:30- We have a deal.- Oh, thank you!
0:35:30 > 0:35:32If you were here, I would shake your hand
0:35:32 > 0:35:34and Ruth would give you a nice big hug.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36This pair are on fire today.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38The little silver scent bottle for £45,
0:35:38 > 0:35:40taking their tally to five lots.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42What fun.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Meanwhile, as Su adores history, she's in for a special treat.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Phil's taking her to the National Roman Legion Museum
0:35:52 > 0:35:54in the town of Caerleon, in Gwent.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59We may be familiar with the two great Roman fortresses of York
0:35:59 > 0:36:02and Chester, but over 1,500 years ago,
0:36:02 > 0:36:08this small Welsh town was home to 6,000 heavily armed infantry troops
0:36:08 > 0:36:12that made up the Second Augustine Legion.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17Caerleon was one of approximately 30 similar fortresses which secured
0:36:17 > 0:36:20the very frontiers of the Roman Empire,
0:36:20 > 0:36:22running from the wild Welsh mountains
0:36:22 > 0:36:24to the deserts of Arabia.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29- Hello.- A site of considerable archaeological importance,
0:36:29 > 0:36:33curator Dr Mark Lewis is going to show them around one of the largest
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Roman military collections in the world.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41Mark, why did the Romans come here in the first place?
0:36:41 > 0:36:42Well, Welsh gold.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45There's gold in them there hills and they were after the gold
0:36:45 > 0:36:47that we'd been producing for centuries.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50They knew it was here and they wanted it for their mint in Rome.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Flipping heck. They sniff everything out, don't they?
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Well, that's one way of putting it.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57MARTIAL FANFARE
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Now, Su loves her jewellery and the museum houses
0:36:59 > 0:37:02some of the oldest pieces she will ever have seen.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Here we've got some of the fabulous gemstones
0:37:04 > 0:37:06that were lost in Caerleon.
0:37:06 > 0:37:0988 of these were lost down our fortress bath's drain.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Because if you look at the ring there,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14you will see that the gemstones weren't clasped into rings,
0:37:14 > 0:37:16they were just adhered into the ring bezel,
0:37:16 > 0:37:20and in the heat of the bathhouse, in the moisture of the bathhouse,
0:37:20 > 0:37:23the adhesive just softened and 88 of these fell out
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- and we found them down the drain. - I can't believe that.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Is it possible for me to try that one on, just there?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31You may, yes, put the gloves on there and try it on.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Don't confuse the two, will you? - No, no, no, no.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38I won't, because I know that is the modern one that I've got on now.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40That's Elizabethan, isn't it?
0:37:40 > 0:37:41Er, yes. I think so.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- Yes.- Absolutely, yeah. How did you know that?
0:37:43 > 0:37:44Yes, the Second.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50I can't believe I'm actually wearing something that's Roman.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51And how old would this be, then?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53That's about 1,800 years old.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55SHE GASPS
0:37:57 > 0:38:01This is a commemorative building stone that features Roman commander
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Flavius Rufus, who helped build the fortress here.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06I think it's just fantastic.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07How old is that?
0:38:07 > 0:38:12That probably dates to around the year AD100 - AD200.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Flavius Rufus was the centurion
0:38:14 > 0:38:18in command of the first cohort, first century,
0:38:18 > 0:38:22so he's right at the front of the Roman army and it's his job
0:38:22 > 0:38:26to protect the imperial gold eagle that the legion carries.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28But, you know what? I'd love to see him.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Can you imagine?
0:38:30 > 0:38:35Roman gladiator, starring Flavius Rufus!
0:38:35 > 0:38:37That's, for me, hairs-on-the-back-of-the-neck stuff.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39It is. Yeah.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41One of the most interesting things about this stone
0:38:41 > 0:38:43is that there was no writing in this part of the world
0:38:43 > 0:38:45until the Romans brought it here,
0:38:45 > 0:38:47so we are looking at some of the earliest writing,
0:38:47 > 0:38:50some of the earliest words ever to have been set down
0:38:50 > 0:38:51in this part of the world.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54So the Romans certainly bought us bureaucracy,
0:38:54 > 0:38:56admin and the small print.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00CROWD CHEERS Outside the museum,
0:39:00 > 0:39:05Su and Phil are exploring the most completely excavated amphitheatre
0:39:05 > 0:39:06in Roman Britain.
0:39:06 > 0:39:11Everything from gladiatorial combat to the hunting of wild animals
0:39:11 > 0:39:14would be watched by a crowd of thousands here.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18I am Maximus Phillius Serrellus
0:39:18 > 0:39:22and I will have my vengeance in this life or the next.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Utter balderdash!
0:39:25 > 0:39:30I am Susus Pollicus Maximus
0:39:30 > 0:39:35and I will absolutely beat you to the ground!
0:39:35 > 0:39:36- Go on, then.- No, no, no.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- What?- I've thought of something much better than that.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- What?- One moment, please.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45I didn't think your regular gladiator had shiny handbags.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Come on, then. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51- What's this? - You are never going to win.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53At arms!
0:39:55 > 0:39:57No, come on. Have at thee, varlet!
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Whoa!
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Ya! Ha-ha!
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Call yourself a...
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Our Su would have had the Roman soldiers quaking in their sandals!
0:40:07 > 0:40:11- Look at Phil go!- You haven't had a handbagging for ages!
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Oh, dear! All joking aside,
0:40:14 > 0:40:18the 6,000-strong legion that took over this remote part
0:40:18 > 0:40:23of South Wales have given the museum half a million Roman artefacts.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26With one of the finest amphitheatres in the world,
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Caerleon is a living memorial to the Roman invasion of Britain.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Ruth and Raj have motored their way to Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan,
0:40:36 > 0:40:40an opportunity for Ruth to give Raj some lessons in Welsh.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- Llanfair...- Llanfair...
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- ..pwllgwyngyll... - ..pwllgwyngyll...
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- ..gogerych... - ..gogerych...
0:40:46 > 0:40:48- ..wyrndrobwll... - ..wyrndrobwll...
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- ..llantysilio... - ..llantysilio...
0:40:51 > 0:40:53- ..gogogoch. - ..gogogoch!
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Very good!
0:40:55 > 0:40:56THEY LAUGH
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Blimey! It's Basil Brush.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Our pair have £252 exactly left in their kitty.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Oh, this looks a nice shop.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11- It certainly does.- Oh, Raj!
0:41:16 > 0:41:17And would you believe it,
0:41:17 > 0:41:21Ruth is barely in the shop and she's excited about something.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Hey, look at this!
0:41:23 > 0:41:24Dinosaur eggs!
0:41:24 > 0:41:27At £500 each!
0:41:27 > 0:41:31The hadrosaurus was a herbivore that weighed around seven tonnes.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Well, I can remember these.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Good heavens. Can you really?
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- When they first came out! - Don't you show your age.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Wow. I mean, imagine how old these are.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Look, it says here, 95-plus million years old.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47Gosh.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49That's incredible.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53- I think...- Just one of those?
0:41:53 > 0:41:55One of those, if we could get it with the money we've got
0:41:55 > 0:41:58and we could offer him every penny that we own, we've got it.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- Yeah.- Do we know how much we've got left?
0:42:00 > 0:42:02We've got about 200 and something.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04252, to be precise.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06That's about half an egg.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08There's a market for dinosaur eggs
0:42:08 > 0:42:11and some have sold recently for thousands.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13A potentially lucrative buy.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Now, where's owner Julian to talk about money?
0:42:15 > 0:42:20I know you've got £500 each and obviously, we only want one of them.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23We have got £252.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Have you ever seen any before on your travels?
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Occasionally? Not very often.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- Occasionally, but not... - They should be in a museum.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33They should, I agree. I mean, I've never, ever bought anything so old
0:42:33 > 0:42:36and it would be a challenge for me to buy something that's so old,
0:42:36 > 0:42:37and we want to spend all our money.
0:42:37 > 0:42:43- Yes.- Now, if you could do that, one of these for £252, we'd...
0:42:43 > 0:42:44We'd be very grateful.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46- Yeah.- I can't rob a young Welsh lady, can I?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- So, I'll shake this man's hand. - Thank you, Julian.- What?!
0:42:49 > 0:42:51- And give this young lady a kiss. - Oh, my lovely boy!
0:42:51 > 0:42:53- Lovely!- Thank you so much.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Thank you so much.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58- Right.- Ruth and Raj,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01that is one heck of a buy and you've blown the budget.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Nice work. With the shopping now complete,
0:43:03 > 0:43:05time for a nosy at one another's buys.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Phil, as you know, I've been doing this a long time,
0:43:09 > 0:43:11but I have to tell you
0:43:11 > 0:43:15- that I bought the oldest thing I've ever bought today.- Go on, then.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17- Ever.- Well, let's have a look, come on, show us.- OK.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19- Drumroll! - RUTH:- We will reveal...
0:43:19 > 0:43:21- You all right, Su?- ..what we've got.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- They are very...- Look at this.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27- PHIL:- Did you get it on the beach? - Did I get it on the beach?
0:43:27 > 0:43:31- RUTH:- No, this is 95 million years old.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33You're having a laugh!
0:43:33 > 0:43:34- No! - What is it?
0:43:34 > 0:43:35It's a dinosaur egg.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37You've got an egg in your handbag, haven't you?
0:43:37 > 0:43:40No, don't, don't, don't touch it.
0:43:40 > 0:43:41No, I might drop it.
0:43:41 > 0:43:49That, we got... It was 500 and we actually got it down to £252.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52Well, he's nearly the oldest thing that I've ever bought.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54- Ridiculous.- OK, Su.
0:43:54 > 0:43:58Now, stop bickering. Time for you to reveal your big-ticket item.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01- What is that? - It's a ship's figurehead.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03- Is it?- Yeah. It is wood and plaster and there's no doubt,
0:44:03 > 0:44:05it's a bit Tommy Cotton.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07English translation - "rotten".
0:44:07 > 0:44:08There's a bit of plaster in here.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Can I ask, how much did you pay for this?
0:44:10 > 0:44:12He was £400.
0:44:12 > 0:44:13No way.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15- He was.- We got it for 198.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17- Oh, that's very good, yeah. - That's all we had left.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19Well, may the best team win.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21- We are going to leave you now.- Ruth?
0:44:21 > 0:44:24But confidentially, what do you really think?
0:44:24 > 0:44:27I was really, really worried when I saw that egg.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30But then again, not everybody likes dinosaurs' eggs.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32That figurehead thing.
0:44:32 > 0:44:36Now, it'll either bomb or, you know, it'll go, you know, right up.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38I think you're absolutely right.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41I think that that's a very, very iffy one.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44Auction time beckons, and we are off to Congleton in Cheshire.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46Stand by, Congleton.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50You know, wouldn't it be great if we could both win?
0:44:50 > 0:44:52- If we could...- Oh, yes.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54Well, you say you're going to win.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56- Well, yes.- I mean, I'm optimistic.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58Yes.
0:44:59 > 0:45:00Everything's going so well.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02STATIC BUZZES
0:45:02 > 0:45:05- Uh-oh.- Well, look, I mean, that bonnet's up there.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07- What are we going to do? We'll have...- No, no, no.
0:45:07 > 0:45:08Just a minute. Calm down.
0:45:08 > 0:45:12Listen. We are not very far from the auction room.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15I think we're going to have to walk, love.
0:45:15 > 0:45:16- Come on, Suzy.- Yeah, I'm coming.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19Thankfully the auction house is just around the corner.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22And Su's been busy composing.
0:45:22 > 0:45:23Oh, dear.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25# Now we're on the final lap
0:45:25 > 0:45:28# And Phil deserves a little nap
0:45:28 > 0:45:30# The wig stayed put down every road.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33# And he never crushed a single toad
0:45:33 > 0:45:35- # Say Phil - Phil!
0:45:35 > 0:45:37- # Say Phil - Phil!
0:45:37 > 0:45:38# Da-da-da! #
0:45:39 > 0:45:41Let's go. Come on!
0:45:41 > 0:45:43Let's go and sell our goods.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45- To the auction.- To the auction.
0:45:47 > 0:45:52The musical Su and Phil spent every single penny of their £400
0:45:52 > 0:45:54on a huge haul of six lots.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59Ruth and Raj blew the budget also on six lots,
0:45:59 > 0:46:03with Ruth proving to be one heck of a negotiator.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Whittaker & Biggs is our auction house today.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10Neil Ashley is the man bashing the gavel.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13And what does he think of the road trippers' wears?
0:46:14 > 0:46:18The ship's figurehead, unfortunately that sailor's had
0:46:18 > 0:46:23one or two rums and had a bit of damage to his neck area.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26The hadrosaur egg, 90 million years old.
0:46:26 > 0:46:27Very, very quirky.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29Unusual lot. Could...
0:46:29 > 0:46:33We put a come-and-get-me price of 50 to 150.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36Could make a lot, lot more than that.
0:46:36 > 0:46:37Sounds promising.
0:46:38 > 0:46:43Our colourful stars arrive amidst a packed room.
0:46:43 > 0:46:44OK. This is so exciting.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47- I know. - This is it, isn't it?
0:46:48 > 0:46:52First up it's Ruth, with the collection of Roman necklaces.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55A lot of the people round here, they don't look as if they,
0:46:55 > 0:46:57you know, would like anything Roman.
0:46:57 > 0:47:00- Would they?- Oh, I don't know. - Hold on a minute.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03I think I've just seen Caligula over there. He's just come in.
0:47:03 > 0:47:07- 20. £10.- Come on, they're Roman, these.- Come on.
0:47:07 > 0:47:12A £10 bid. £10, 15. 15 bid. 20. £20 bid. 5.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14- 25. - Oh, that's good, that's good.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18- 25.- 25. 25 and a bid, 25 bid.
0:47:18 > 0:47:2025 with a bid. 25. 25. 25.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23Hammer's up, you lose out. Left and right of me, I sell at 25.
0:47:23 > 0:47:24Oh...
0:47:24 > 0:47:26- No.- We've bombed.
0:47:26 > 0:47:27It's not that bad, Ruth.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29I've seen a lot worse.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31Useless again!
0:47:31 > 0:47:33- Hang on, Su.- This is yours.
0:47:33 > 0:47:34It's not Phil's fault.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39It's their horse harness hames next.
0:47:40 > 0:47:45All we need is somebody who is horse mad and maybe collects them
0:47:45 > 0:47:48- themselves, you know. - Or a scrap metal merchant.
0:47:48 > 0:47:52- Yes.- Hey! - What are you talking about?
0:47:52 > 0:47:54You'll get a handbagging in a minute.
0:47:54 > 0:47:55£10.
0:47:55 > 0:47:5710 bid. £10 bid.
0:47:57 > 0:47:58£10 bid. 15.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00You're in profit. You're in a good profit.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03- Got it. Got it.- £15 bid.
0:48:03 > 0:48:05Left and right of me. £15 bid, £15 bid.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07£15. £15.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10Hammer's up, you lose, I sell them, make no mistake, £15.
0:48:10 > 0:48:14- Very good.- Yes!- Well done. - And you got them for nothing.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17Well, £2, actually.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Brilliant result from the farm purchase.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22Right, well, that has been fantastic.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24Thank you very much. We are off for now.
0:48:24 > 0:48:27- RUTH:- Well done. - That will be the end of it, will it?
0:48:27 > 0:48:28Lovely to see you.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31Don't count your chickens, Phil.
0:48:31 > 0:48:35It's Ruth's Roman dice and pen next.
0:48:35 > 0:48:3610? £10 bid.
0:48:36 > 0:48:4015. 20. £20 bid. £20 bid, £20 bid.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42- 25. - That's not bad.
0:48:42 > 0:48:43Fresh bid at 25.
0:48:43 > 0:48:47At 25 bid, I sell them, make no mistake, at 25.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51Dear, dear. Well, they've got a real bargain.
0:48:51 > 0:48:52That's all I can say.
0:48:52 > 0:48:56Because they are amazing, those.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58The perils of the auction room, I'm afraid, Ruth.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02But the other ones will probably do really well.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Loving your optimism there, Su.
0:49:04 > 0:49:05Right, get ready.
0:49:05 > 0:49:09It's Su's Rupert Bear and the trike next.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11£10 away. £10 bid.
0:49:11 > 0:49:13£10 the bid, £10 bid.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16We need a bit more than this!
0:49:16 > 0:49:21Oh, come on! Somebody must want it for their child.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23- NEIL:- I'm going to sell, then, at £10 bid.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25I sell, make no mistake, at £10.
0:49:25 > 0:49:26- SU:- Oh!
0:49:28 > 0:49:31What a shame, Su. Someone's got a cracker of a buy there, I think.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35There is a long way to go yet.
0:49:35 > 0:49:39Very true, Raj. It's Ruth's cocktail set up next.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42I reckon it might make nine.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45THEY CHUCKLE
0:49:45 > 0:49:47- We paid eight for it! - Typical you,
0:49:47 > 0:49:49optimistic till the end.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51- Oh, yes. - I've got two commission bids.
0:49:51 > 0:49:55I'm going to go 10, 15, 20, 5, £30 with me.
0:49:55 > 0:49:56Yes! Let's go, come on.
0:49:56 > 0:49:5935. 35 and the commissions are out.
0:49:59 > 0:50:0135. I've taken on my right.
0:50:01 > 0:50:0235 bid. 35.
0:50:02 > 0:50:0435 bid, 35.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06At 35, hammer's up, you lose.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08I sell, then, make no mistake, at 35.
0:50:08 > 0:50:09HAMMER FALLS
0:50:09 > 0:50:13- Fantastic!- Congratulations! - Oh, thank goodness.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16Well done. The biggest profit of the day so far.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19- Cheers.- Why didn't you buy it?
0:50:19 > 0:50:20You must have seen it in the shop.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23- Well, you should... - What have we lost so far?
0:50:23 > 0:50:24We're still not in profit yet.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28Yes, Su, shh.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30It's your terracotta ridge tile next.
0:50:30 > 0:50:3320. £10 away.
0:50:33 > 0:50:34£10 away, quickly bid.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37£10 bid.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39THEY TALK OVER ONE ANOTHER
0:50:39 > 0:50:4115 if you like. £10 bid.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44That man bought it behind us.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46Cash at £10.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48You were marvellous. Did you buy that?
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Oh, there is a lovely chap here behind us.
0:50:50 > 0:50:54- Thank you so much. - He just lost us 15 quid!
0:50:54 > 0:50:56In that case, oh, I'm sorry, I'm taking it all back.
0:50:56 > 0:51:00At least you didn't get smacked with the handbag, Phil.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02I've been listening to the auctioneer.
0:51:02 > 0:51:03He's wonderful.
0:51:03 > 0:51:08Have you heard him when he goes, "25, 25, 25, 5, 5, 5, 35..."
0:51:08 > 0:51:09You'd make a good auctioneer, love.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11You wouldn't make a very good auctioneer.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13You know why? Because you've got to talk a lot.
0:51:13 > 0:51:16- Yeah.- And that's something that you're not very good at, is it?
0:51:16 > 0:51:18You are so...
0:51:18 > 0:51:21Watch out, Raj. She's not afraid to use her handbag.
0:51:22 > 0:51:27It's Ruth's little Swissair ashtray-cum-bonbon stand next.
0:51:27 > 0:51:2910 bid. 10 bid.
0:51:29 > 0:51:3215. 20. £20 bid. £20 the bid.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34£20 bid. £20 bid, £20 bid.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36- Come on!- It's a collector's item.
0:51:36 > 0:51:40- 5. 40. - Oh, yes. It's going up.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42Right at the very back. £40 bid.
0:51:42 > 0:51:46- They are doing so well. - £40, £40.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48I cash then, make no mistake, at £40.
0:51:49 > 0:51:51- Well done.- Well done.
0:51:52 > 0:51:55- First-class result. - Nice profit there, Ruth.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57You've definitely got an eye.
0:51:57 > 0:51:58Phil, tell me about this...
0:52:00 > 0:52:01- ..thing you bought.- Well...
0:52:01 > 0:52:02Thing?!
0:52:02 > 0:52:05This is Su. Don't call her a thing.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08She's been with me the whole trip, haven't you?
0:52:08 > 0:52:10- Yes.- Has he upset you?
0:52:10 > 0:52:12- Yes.- Don't you call her a thing.
0:52:13 > 0:52:16Yeah, Raj, how dare you?
0:52:16 > 0:52:20It's Su's framed Victorian and Edwardian ladies' accessories next.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22I've got commissions of £10 with me.
0:52:22 > 0:52:23£10!
0:52:23 > 0:52:25£10 bid.
0:52:25 > 0:52:28"£10 bid, 25, 25, 25."
0:52:28 > 0:52:32I'm going to sell it. £10 I'm bid. 15. £15 bid.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35That lady said it was going to be worth 50.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37£15, here to go.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40£15 bid, I sell at £15.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42Perhaps if we could do a Road Trip
0:52:42 > 0:52:46where we just buy things and never sell anything, right,
0:52:46 > 0:52:48a bit like we are doing today, really, but...
0:52:48 > 0:52:49What a shame.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53Someone's got another brilliant deal.
0:52:54 > 0:52:55Try those on.
0:53:00 > 0:53:01Your wig's gone.
0:53:01 > 0:53:02You look like Brains.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04- Oh, no, quick.- Oh, dear!
0:53:06 > 0:53:08It's Ruth's silver scent bottle next.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10I've got commissions with me of £10, a very low start.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12£10 bid. 15.
0:53:12 > 0:53:1420. 5.
0:53:14 > 0:53:1530. 5.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17Commission's out. 35. 40.
0:53:17 > 0:53:18£40.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20Don't leave it now. £40 bid.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22- Come on.- Come on!- Come on, guys.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24Taken on my right, make no mistake, £40 bid.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26£40 bid.
0:53:26 > 0:53:31- Come on. - Make no mistake at £40.
0:53:31 > 0:53:33- I'm happy with that, to be honest. - Thank you.
0:53:35 > 0:53:36Not bad. You know, Ruth,
0:53:36 > 0:53:39your love for antiques really does shine through.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43OK, Su, let's see if your Victorian pub table
0:53:43 > 0:53:46can rustle up some profits.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48Well, let's hope they don't call last orders on it.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50THEY LAUGH
0:53:50 > 0:53:52Oh, yes.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54There's still time!
0:53:54 > 0:53:58- Oh! We got it together!- You're catching on.- I'll ring the bell.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Oh! And what will you do?
0:54:00 > 0:54:01Go home.
0:54:03 > 0:54:06£15. 15, 20. 5. 30.
0:54:06 > 0:54:095. 40. 5. 50. 5.
0:54:09 > 0:54:1360. 5. 70. That's the way. £70.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15- Yeah!- 5. 75.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18- Come on. - 80. 80, 80, 80. 5.
0:54:18 > 0:54:21- 85. - Oh, this is fabulous.
0:54:21 > 0:54:24- £90. - Can you make it 100, please?
0:54:24 > 0:54:25100. £100.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27- There you go! - Yes!
0:54:27 > 0:54:29105.
0:54:29 > 0:54:36- Telephone bidder.- All out, left and right of me, I sell at 105.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38- Yay!- Yay!
0:54:38 > 0:54:41Whoever bought it, you're an absolute, total star.
0:54:41 > 0:54:42Thank you so much.
0:54:44 > 0:54:46Su's happy with that.
0:54:46 > 0:54:47Oh, isn't it exciting?
0:54:47 > 0:54:50I'll tell you what, there is a huge relief to me, that is.
0:54:50 > 0:54:51It's a big gamble.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54The dinosaur egg is next.
0:54:54 > 0:54:59You've got your dinosaur, we've got our figurehead.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01- It's all or nothing, isn't it, really?- It's all or nothing.
0:55:01 > 0:55:02This is sink or swim.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06- Do you know who's winning?- Don't swim, I haven't got my bathers.
0:55:06 > 0:55:085, 4, 300.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10300, you bid me.
0:55:10 > 0:55:112 and away. Here to go?
0:55:11 > 0:55:13£100.
0:55:13 > 0:55:14£50.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17- It's bid. £50 bid. - Oh, no, you've got £50.
0:55:17 > 0:55:2060. 70. 80. 90.
0:55:20 > 0:55:24100. 120. 120. 120
0:55:24 > 0:55:28- I think you're wrong.- Still cheap. Oh, come on.- So cheap.
0:55:28 > 0:55:32120. 120. Left and right of me.
0:55:32 > 0:55:34You lose, I sell, make no mistake, at 120.
0:55:37 > 0:55:39What a buy he's got, the guy.
0:55:39 > 0:55:41Oh, addled.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43That's painful. Such a wonderful lot,
0:55:43 > 0:55:47but it just didn't get the big bids you hoped for.
0:55:47 > 0:55:49Well, somebody got a real bargain there.
0:55:49 > 0:55:51- Yeah.- Yeah, they really have.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54Now the last item of the day.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56The other big-money gamble.
0:55:56 > 0:55:58The ship's figurehead is next.
0:55:58 > 0:56:00We've gambled, as well.
0:56:00 > 0:56:01This isn't over yet.
0:56:01 > 0:56:03200. 150.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05Here to go £100.
0:56:05 > 0:56:06£80.
0:56:06 > 0:56:07£50.
0:56:07 > 0:56:08£30.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10- SU SCREECHES - 20 bid.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12£20 bid. £20 bid.
0:56:12 > 0:56:14- There you are.- £20 bid, £20 bid.
0:56:14 > 0:56:165. 25.
0:56:16 > 0:56:18- Right, yeah.- 25.
0:56:18 > 0:56:2025, bid at 25.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22I do think that's quite cheap, Raj.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25I sell, then, make no mistake, at 25.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28Do you not think that's cheap?
0:56:30 > 0:56:32- Really?- Oh, no!
0:56:32 > 0:56:33That's very unfortunate.
0:56:34 > 0:56:37Always look on the bright side, you lot.
0:56:37 > 0:56:38- Make our way? - Shall we?
0:56:38 > 0:56:40Let's go, then, shall we?
0:56:40 > 0:56:42OK, then.
0:56:43 > 0:56:46I think disappointment drinks are on me.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48- Never mind.- Never mind. Come on.
0:56:48 > 0:56:51- After you.- Thanks. - Now, time for the calculations.
0:56:52 > 0:56:54Su and Phil started out with £400.
0:56:54 > 0:57:00After all auction costs, they've made a painful loss of £252.40.
0:57:00 > 0:57:04Their final takings are £147.60.
0:57:04 > 0:57:05What a couple, eh?
0:57:07 > 0:57:11Ruth and Raj also began with £400 and, after all saleroom costs,
0:57:11 > 0:57:13they have also suffered a loss.
0:57:13 > 0:57:17£166.30 to be exact.
0:57:17 > 0:57:21Their final earnings are £233.70,
0:57:21 > 0:57:24making them today's Road Trip winners.
0:57:24 > 0:57:27We lost? I mean, in the general scheme of things,
0:57:27 > 0:57:30I don't see this as being a big deal, right, but out of our £400,
0:57:30 > 0:57:35we lost 250 quid and you lost about 170.
0:57:35 > 0:57:37So it's a bit nip and tuck, really.
0:57:37 > 0:57:38It was definitely nip and tuck.
0:57:38 > 0:57:41It was all down to the last item for both of us, wasn't it?
0:57:41 > 0:57:44Well, the main thing is it's like we said,
0:57:44 > 0:57:48it's just what it's going to be like on the day, and sadly on the day,
0:57:48 > 0:57:49I just want to die!
0:57:50 > 0:57:51Oh, blimey, Su.
0:57:51 > 0:57:54And the Roller's still not rolling.
0:57:54 > 0:57:57Ladies, as you know, the two of us are gentlemen.
0:57:57 > 0:58:01You may have our car and a chauffeur to take you all the way home.
0:58:01 > 0:58:04- Oh!- That is amazing.
0:58:04 > 0:58:07Thank you so much, Raj.
0:58:07 > 0:58:09But before you go, just for me.
0:58:09 > 0:58:11Hello, campers.
0:58:11 > 0:58:14- BOTH:- Hi-de-hi!
0:58:14 > 0:58:16- Bye!- Bye, ladies!- Bye-e-e-e!
0:58:18 > 0:58:20Would you do this sort of thing again?
0:58:20 > 0:58:23Oh, yes. Like a shot.
0:58:23 > 0:58:26- Yes, I would. - Byesie-bye, lovely ladies.
