0:00:02 > 0:00:04- The nation's favourite celebrities...- Oh, I like that.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- ..paired up with an expert... - Oh, we've had some fun, haven't we?
0:00:07 > 0:00:11- ..and a classic car.- It feels as if it could go quite fast.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Their mission - to scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16- Yes!- Fantastic! - I'll do that in slow-mo.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20- The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.- Come on, boys!
0:00:20 > 0:00:23- But it's no easy rise ride.- Ta-da!
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Who will find the 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 > 0:00:36- There will be worthy winners...- Yes!
0:00:36 > 0:00:37..and valiant losers.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Put your pedal to the metal, this is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Yeah!
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Today, we are road tripping through East Anglia with two
0:00:54 > 0:00:58of Britain's best-loved stars from stage and screen.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59It's none other
0:00:59 > 0:01:02than old buddies Rick Wakeman and Ian Lavender.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- How long have we known each other? - 30, 30-plus years.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08IAN MUMBLES
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Their vehicle of choice is this 1957 Morris woody Traveller.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15When was the first time you went in a car with me?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- First in a car?- Can you remember? - I try not to.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23- I think it was in Spain. - In Spain? Oh, my word!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25We did a golf tournament.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I remember being sat to you whilst you've been trying to change...
0:01:27 > 0:01:29put my knee into third gear.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33THEY LAUGH Bit familiar, Rick. Ha!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Musician, songwriter and actor,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39the exuberant Mr Wakeman is best known for being a member of
0:01:39 > 0:01:45the 1970s band Yes and for his prog rock keyboard prowess.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Ian's already getting the jitters.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- You have the advantage of me in this.- Yes.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Cos you've got one of these. - I've got one of these, yeah.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03The great thing is that people are so polite to you in the car.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04They let you out.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06You can get in the wrong lane and everybody goes,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08"Oh, it doesn't matter, go wherever you like."
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- You know?- Isn't that because they see you and go,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- "It's that old pensioner." - RICK LAUGHS
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Most loved for his role as Private Pike in Dad's Army,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22that stupid boy was ready with his gun
0:02:22 > 0:02:24in the late '60s, early '70s sitcom.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Ian's graced stage and screen since then
0:02:28 > 0:02:32from comedies like Yes Minister to a role in popular soap EastEnders.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Helping the celebrities hunt for antiques are two experienced
0:02:38 > 0:02:40road trippers - David Harper
0:02:40 > 0:02:42and Raj Bisram,
0:02:42 > 0:02:47who are battling through the elements in a 1954 Austin Somerset.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Well, David.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Here we are in sunny Norfolk(!) - DAVID LAUGHS
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I was going to say, that's a bit overenthusiastic, isn't it?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- It's chucking it down! - I know, I know, I know.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57But I tell you what, I'm happy, Raj,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01because I'm in a fantastic Somerset car.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I've never driven one of these before.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Well, it shouldn't be a Somerset car, shouldn't it be a Norfolk car?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Of course it should be a Norfolk car!
0:03:08 > 0:03:11The Somerset was manufactured before seatbelts were mandatory,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14which is why they're not wearing any. Got it?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Any thoughts on the celebrities, chaps?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- These two guys know each other, I think.- They do, they do, they do.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21They've got some history.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23In fact, they're quite competitive, I think,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25so we'll have to see how that goes.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26We will indeed.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31With £400 each to spend,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34this road trip kicks off in the North Norfolk village of
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Burnham Market before snaking through the county of Norfolk and
0:03:38 > 0:03:41then a heading into Nottinghamshire for auction in Nottingham.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Time to decide the teams.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48But a tardy Rick and Ian have left our experts waiting patiently
0:03:48 > 0:03:50in the rain.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52RAJ: I can see they're on their way. A bit late.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Oh, pour souls! Oh, Lordy!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59It's a moggy, minor trouble. And Rick's driving. Of course he is!
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Of course he is!
0:04:01 > 0:04:04ALL: Good morning.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- Lovely to meet you, Dave. - Great to meet you.- Wonderful.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08And I'm loving the outfit.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- Looking forward to this?- Yes! With...trepidation.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15We decided to put the two good-looking ones together,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- so I'm going with you. - That's us two, then, Rick.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- That's us two, yeah. - THEY LAUGH
0:04:19 > 0:04:21You're the older couple.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23They will be kissing on the backseat at this rate.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Raj and Ian plump for the Morris
0:04:26 > 0:04:29whilst David and Rick are in the Austen.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33And both our chaps are letting their dates drive. How modern.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Off they head, then. Time now to talk tactics.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40I think I'm going to look for quirky.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Quirky is good!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I like something that they'll go, "Oh, what's that?"
0:04:44 > 0:04:48If I can find some quirky stuff,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51if it's in an auction room,
0:04:51 > 0:04:52then it's going to stand out.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54How about the other team?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58The tactic is to win, OK? We've got £400.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02My advice would be - let's go out and spend it.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05That's the spirit, Raj. Quick off the mark,
0:05:05 > 0:05:10David and local boy Rick are first to arrive in Hunstanton,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13a Norfolk seaside town built on The Wash bay as
0:05:13 > 0:05:15a resort during Victorian times.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Here we go, our first one.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Right. Come on.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26They've come to spend at antiques centre Le Strange Old Barns.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Stand by.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- How are you?- Hi, I'm Rick.- Lydia.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- And?- Pat.- Pat!
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- I thought you said Rick? - No, I'm Rick.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- That's Lydia. You're?- I'll be Pat.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- You be Rick.- No, you be Rick. - You can be David.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43All right, we'll go that way. We've got no time.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I remember games like this when I was in the band.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Yeah, yeah, keep going. Thanks, Lydia.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Makes you realise while why Rick's band was simply called Yes!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Rick's bought from the shop in the past so knows his way around.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57I can't see any antiques.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00When you come through here, you'll start seeing some stuff.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- OK.- This is the room, really. - Oh! No, OK, OK.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05What's the plan, then, chaps?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- I think we'd better cover it pretty quickly.- Yeah,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09before the other two come in.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11No flies on this pair,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14and something's already caught Rick's eye.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Doulton.- Yeah. I like Doulton. Do you?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- I do like Doulton, it's good quality.- Yeah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23These guys were making pots and vases like that for family homes,
0:06:23 > 0:06:24middle-class homes,
0:06:24 > 0:06:28at the very same time as making sewage pipes for the Empire.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Wow.- It was a great moneymaking firm.- I didn't know.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Oh, they were churning them out left, right and centre.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36These 19th-century vases are a good find.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- I like those. - You were drawn to them.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Yeah, I was.- I'm going to get a key.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Here comes Pat.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Or was it Lydia?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Do you want to help yourself?- Yeah, lovely. Shall we have one each?
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- Careful!- Here you go. - All right, thank you very much.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54What does a closer look reveal?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Well, there is no damage that I can see, not on this one.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59OK, now, let's have a look at the date.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02So, we've got Doulton Burslem. You can see that there is
0:07:02 > 0:07:06no England stamped. That was introduced in 1891, 1892.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- Yeah.- So they are pre-1892 for certain.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Ticketed at £38 per vase,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Rick's going to need all his charm to secure a discount. But hurry!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Ian and Raj have finally made it to Hunstanton.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Well, my goodness.- They are here before us.- They are here before us.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- The swine! - We've got some catching up to do.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Let's go and... Let's go and dug some scullery here.- Absolutely!
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- They have the advantage of us. - They certainly do.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37My goodness, maybe I should let their air out on their tyres
0:07:37 > 0:07:39so they can't get away too quick.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44Look lively, then, Ian. This isn't the Home Guard now, you know.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Wait for me!
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Come on, come on, here we go. Hello, hello, hello.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Where are they? - Where are they? Yeah.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Don't sell them anything yet!
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Oh, hang on. Oh!
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Hello, hello, hello.- I think this would look lovely...
0:07:56 > 0:07:57That's a real antique.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00..on somebody's mantelpi...
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Oh, look! Look who's here.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Found anything yet?- No.- No.- No?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- No.- Been here a long time?- No. - Not a thing.- No, no.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11We're just having a little browse, really.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Don't do any trade with them, please,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15they are just not nice people.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Carry on, then. - Don't give them any discount.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19No, none whatsoever.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21All right, chaps, back to business.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Time to discuss a price on the vases.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Are they 38 for the pair?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- No, that is...- Really?- ..38 each.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35The vases belong to another dealer, so while Pat gets on the phone,
0:08:35 > 0:08:39just round the corner, Ian and Raj have found some walking canes.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43You know what we could do? We could buy both of them.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Why not?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47What he's asking? He's asking...
0:08:47 > 0:08:49What's that on there? What's he asking?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52He's asking 50 on that and 38 on that, so 88.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Hm.
0:08:54 > 0:09:00- Estimate for auction, they should be estimated £50 to £80.- A pair?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01For the two of them, yeah?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03We could make top estimate.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04So we really...
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I know they've got 80 on the two...
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- This is where my problem comes in.- OK.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- I'd be perfectly happy to pay £80 for the pair.- I can tell. OK.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- I've got to stick very close to you. - Yes, right.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17OK, because I already know there's going to be some competition
0:09:17 > 0:09:22here. We should try to get these, if we can, between
0:09:22 > 0:09:25£40 and £60.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30But I'm more tending to go to the 45, OK?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34One of the things, when buying, especially as a dealer,
0:09:34 > 0:09:38is not to look too keen, I think, on something, you know...
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Oh, dear!
0:09:39 > 0:09:42This is where I learn how bad an actor I really am.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I hate them, hate them!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Meanwhile, Pat's been unable to speak to the owner,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49but he's made an executive decision -
0:09:49 > 0:09:50£50 for the pair of vases.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Shall we just do it? - Yeah. Please.- Do it, shake his hand.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Thank you very much. Pat, you're a great gentleman.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Thank you very much. Thank you. And be careful with those.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- It's done.- They're not maracas.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Certainly not at that price, huh!
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Do you want to just put them on there?- Very gently.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- So I'm carrying the money, am I? What have we agreed?- Ten.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- 20, 30, 40, £50.- £50?! Are you sure?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Trust me.- I am trusting you, Rick.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23- Shall I take responsibility?- I think it is probably safer. I drop things.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24RICK LAUGHS
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Cheers, Pat.- Good luck with them, David. Thank you.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32Meanwhile, Raj and Ian have found the cabinets. What's this?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Oh, that, that...
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Oh, that's divine.- That is lovely, isn't it? It is really lovely.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- A bit out of fashion, it's an ashtray.- Yes.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I was just about to say exactly the same thing.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49It's a shame it's an ashtray, which makes it not as saleable,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- but it's still... It's a piece of... - BOTH: The Mouseman.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It's not ridiculously priced either.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57With a ticket price of £68,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Mouseman - real name, Robert Thompson -
0:11:00 > 0:11:03was a British maker of oak furniture in the early 20th century.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07He featured a trademark carved mouse on his finished pieces
0:11:07 > 0:11:09from about 1920.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11OK, well, don't look too excited when we get Patrick.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- I quite like that. - OK, let's put it back.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Yep. I'm not that wild about it, I just quite like it.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21That's it! You're an actor, you're an actor. Perfect!
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Getting a good deal may need an Oscar-winning performance,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29though. Where is Patrick to talk money?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Patrick.- Raj.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Have you got a smile on your face?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Well, I think we are almost there.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39I have been in touch with the dealers and the best I can
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- offer will be 55 for the two sticks...- Yeah.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47..and 38 on the Mouseman ashtray.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51That's £93.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54What about £90 cash and we'll take them.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I don't think we can argue for £3.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- That is a pound for every dealer. - Fantastic.- £90.- £90.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- We'll go for those.- Yeah? - Yeah.- Right.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Oh, I'm ready. This is my favourite part.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11There are four of those and I think I have another...
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Yes, I do. There, look.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21- That's perfect.- Voila.- I don't even need to get change.- You don't. £90.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Thanks very much.- Fantastic.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Bravo! A fine performance.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31And their showbiz duties might not be over yet.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36First shop's done. Ian, two fantastic items.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Let's hope they make a bit of money.- And if they don't, if they
0:12:39 > 0:12:42don't, well, we'll just have to be a song and dance team together.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44THEY LAUGH
0:12:44 > 0:12:46We've got the sticks, baby, we got the sticks.
0:12:50 > 0:12:5118 miles down the road,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Rick and David are flying this one solo in King's Lynn.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00The word "lynn" means pool in and probably refers to a tidal pool
0:13:00 > 0:13:01on the River Ouse.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Well, the old Somerset... The Somerset behaved herself well.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Done all right, hasn't she? - Yeah. Here we go.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Inside, awaits an eclectic mix of furniture and porcelain.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16No "Lynn" for us today, but a dealer named Ruth. Hi, Ruth.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- I hope you have a good day. - Well, thank you very much.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Do you want to go one way, I'll go the other?- That's a good idea.- Yeah.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Shout me if you need any help.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Crikey! There is a lot on offer.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36But Rick knows what he wants.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39It's got to be big. I like big.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43I do like big.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Ho, ho, ho!
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- David?- Yeah?- You know I like big.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- You like big?- Big. I found big.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55- LAUGHS:- How big?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Big.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Rick's not joking. It's a big Art Deco cabinet.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Oh, hello!
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Tell me why you love it. - I just think that's gorgeous.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09As a style icon, that is perfect
0:14:09 > 0:14:12because it transports you back to
0:14:12 > 0:14:17a period in time that you can date pretty much within 10 or 15 years.
0:14:17 > 0:14:201925 to 1939.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23This Art Deco could charm at auction,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26but it's a gamble nevertheless.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Will it have a big ticket price to match?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- Ruth.- Yes.- How much is the Deco cabinet in the hallway?- Expensive.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Oh. - SHE LAUGHS
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- It's expensive. Does that mean it's more than £80?- Yes.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- It's more than £80.- Yes. Yeah.- How much more?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44SHE WHISPERS, HE GASPS
0:14:44 > 0:14:46So expensive she has to whisper it!
0:14:46 > 0:14:48£260.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50We'd never get that back.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- I don't think. - Don't you think?- No.- No.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Ruth, can it be sub-100?- (No.)
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- No?- No, can't do that!
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Ah. I sense a plan afoot.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Right, we're warming her up. - We're warming up,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05cos Ruth looks like one of those really kind ladies...
0:15:05 > 0:15:07DAVID LAUGHS
0:15:07 > 0:15:11..you know, that cares about all musicians.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14You are here to pick up antiques, Rick, not a wife.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Something else has caught Mr Wakeman's eye -
0:15:17 > 0:15:20some substantial Japanese-style meat dishes.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- There is some weight to that. - Exactly.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Let's bring it round into the light.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25OK, so...
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- The ribbing in that here.- Yeah, yeah. Do you know what that is for?
0:15:28 > 0:15:33- It's for meat, obviously, for the juices.- Absolutely, absolutely.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Despite their Oriental pattern, the Fenton Stone Works was
0:15:36 > 0:15:40based in Staffordshire, around the early part of the 19th century.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I'm looking for cracks and things on the back, and I cannot...
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- I can't see any. - Give them a bit of a whack.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50If you hold each dish from the centre and whack one end...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52TAPPING
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Almost a tune.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I can see where your gold discs came from, Rick!
0:15:59 > 0:16:04- I do like them. - Now it is down to price.- Oh!
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Ticket price for the pair - £125. Stand by.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Ruth.- Yes?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Do you think I could possibly show you a few things and you could tell
0:16:13 > 0:16:15me a bit about them and...?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Well, I can try. I'm not as knowledgeable as David.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Who's he(?) Is he arriving later?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Those two dishes.- Yeah.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- See, I would have to ring somebody up about those.- OK.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- What's our offer? - We'd be looking, I'd say,
0:16:31 > 0:16:3360 to 70, top whack, really.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Time to get Zoe on the line.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Zoe. How are you?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44As you probably know, we do like your Fenton.
0:16:44 > 0:16:50We were hoping you might consider somewhere around about the 65 mark.
0:16:54 > 0:16:5770? I'll tell you what, I'll take a punt at 70.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01I think we've got a fair chance. You're an absolute darling.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Well done. Now, how about the £260 Art Deco cabinet?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Ruth, I'm actually going down on my knees.- Oh!
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Lordy! - Have you got problems or something?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16It's a bit worrying now, isn't it?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- I've only ever done that before to propose.- Oh, right.- Several times.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Thank you very much, David(!)
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- Thanks so much for helping us out on those.- Do I come down as well?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30You are a reserve to come down.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Do that.- Excuse me just one second. - Block your ears.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- When I go to the line, like that, "Is it possible?"- OK.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- That's when you go down. - Will you remind me to get up again?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Just wink.- Yeah, I will.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43When I say, "Is it possible?" that's when you're down.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Thanks so much for helping us out on those plates,
0:17:47 > 0:17:52they really are lovely. We do love that Art Deco cabinet.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57I know that it's lots of money.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01But we were hoping very much to ask you,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03is it possible...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05IS IT POSSIBLE...
0:18:06 > 0:18:08SHE LAUGHS
0:18:08 > 0:18:13Is it possible for you to come down a little bit on it
0:18:13 > 0:18:19so that I can walk away a happy man with a smile on my face?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Would it be possible for something like 150?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25160, I would do, on it.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29A great offer, but Rick is not finished yet.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34I suppose there's no chance, just to help us out,
0:18:34 > 0:18:39to split between our 150 and 160 at 155? Would there?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Yeah, I'll make fiver on it. - SHE LAUGHS
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Isn't she lovely? Isn't she lovely?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Aw.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Ruth, I shall come back here with my wife.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- Thank you, Ruth, thank you so much. - OK. Thank you.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- You've been brilliant. - I shall come back with my wife.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Good.- And I shall let her go loose.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00You've been absolutely wonderful, thank you so much.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05That brings the total spend to £275 so far.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Meanwhile, Ian and Raj have motored the Morris to just outside
0:19:11 > 0:19:14King's Lynn to Houghton Hall to hear about one of the most
0:19:14 > 0:19:18important battles of World War II.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20This looks fascinating.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- And I was a soldier. You played a soldier.- Well, sort of.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27This could be quite exciting. Let's see what there is.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Their host is Lord David Cholmondeley.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Hello there.- Hello.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- Good to see you.- Good to meet you too.- How do you do, sir?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Lovely to meet you.- Good to meet you. Good to have you here.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Thank you!
0:19:42 > 0:19:46My father would be thrilled cos he would never go out
0:19:46 > 0:19:47when Dad's Army was on.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49How lovely!
0:19:49 > 0:19:50I wouldn't either.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53In the summer of 1942,
0:19:53 > 0:19:57the First Battle of El Alamein saw the Allied forces
0:19:57 > 0:20:00hold firm against the German commander in Egypt,
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Erwin Rommel.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05It was vital to the Allies' success in World War II that they
0:20:05 > 0:20:08held this position in the desert, and only one man
0:20:08 > 0:20:12might topple Rommel - Field Marshal Montgomery.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Monty took command with an order which
0:20:14 > 0:20:18has become one of the most famous in British military history.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22"If we can't stay here alive, then let us stay here dead."
0:20:22 > 0:20:25One of the officers serving Monty
0:20:25 > 0:20:29at this time was Lord David's father, Lord Hugh Cholmondeley.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34He'd always wanted to go into the Army, like his father.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37He fought all through the North African campaign,
0:20:37 > 0:20:43then up through Sicily and Italy, and then France,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45through to Germany.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47But it was at El Alamein that Lord Hugh's mettle
0:20:47 > 0:20:49was put to the test.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52At Houghton Hall, there are dioramas showing, in stunning detail,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54some of these skirmishes in an unforgiving desert.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56EXPLOSIONS
0:20:56 > 0:20:59We've got a couple of scenes from in the desert,
0:20:59 > 0:21:03and one of them my father used to say this is exactly as
0:21:03 > 0:21:08he remembered it. And the figure with binoculars, he said,
0:21:08 > 0:21:13"This is me looking out, seeing when Rommel's Africa Korps are
0:21:13 > 0:21:17"coming over, in the distance, over the hills."
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Erwin Rommel was the German commander in North Africa.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23An incredible military strategist,
0:21:23 > 0:21:26he was famous across the world as the Desert Fox.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30But with Monty now at the helm in El Alamein, 14 days of major
0:21:30 > 0:21:35fighting ended with Rommel's once invincible army in full retreat.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Monty's success depended on intelligence.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Lord Hugh and his small unit of men from the Royal Dragoons
0:21:41 > 0:21:42were in the thick of things.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47This scene here, Lord Cholmondeley, really depicts a scene that
0:21:47 > 0:21:52your father would have actually been in when he won the Military Cross.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Absolutely. It's reconnaissance.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56That's really what the armoured cars
0:21:56 > 0:21:59were very much used for at that time.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02He commanded a troop of three armoured cars for most of
0:22:02 > 0:22:04that part of the war.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08So here we have them on reconnaissance in the desert
0:22:08 > 0:22:13somewhere, and you can just see in the distance, Rommel's tanks,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15the Africa Korps tanks.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21So they're cooking breakfast, my father and his team,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23and of course they'd have to throw it all way.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26That was the low point of the day, losing breakfast.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Slinging the brew. - THEY LAUGH
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Lord Hugh was decorated with the Military Cross for gallantry
0:22:32 > 0:22:35after the war ended for commanding his troop
0:22:35 > 0:22:37under incredibly harsh conditions.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41He was 23, 24.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Yes, it seems very young to be doing something like that.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49There's no question, Lord Hugh was a capable officer who
0:22:49 > 0:22:53understood how battles worked, an aptitude that may well have been
0:22:53 > 0:22:58instilled in him from his childhood passion for model soldiers.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00A keen collector as a boy, before the war,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02he'd amassed several thousand,
0:23:02 > 0:23:06which she would use to precisely recreate some of the greatest
0:23:06 > 0:23:08struggles in British military history,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10including the Battle of Waterloo,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Omdurman, and the Napoleonic era.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17So, I guess when you were young, you would have seen all these
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- soldiers on planning tables. - They were.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22They didn't have glass, so they needed dusting.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I was given the job often of dusting them after school.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I actually really enjoyed it, and that's how I sort of learned
0:23:29 > 0:23:31about them, and I am still very fond of them.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35The largest private collection of model soldiers in the world,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39this incredible set is of international importance, boasting
0:23:39 > 0:23:4320,000 little soldiers under the same roof, many incredibly rare.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47And it's not just model collectors that are interested in gazing
0:23:47 > 0:23:50through the glass at British victories. Oh, no.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54This is the biggest diorama of Waterloo.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59And I remember coming down when President Mitterrand of France
0:23:59 > 0:24:00came here.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03My father said, "Would you like to see my soldier collection?"
0:24:03 > 0:24:04He said, "Oh, yes."
0:24:04 > 0:24:08And of course, it's all British victories over the French.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Oh, dear!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12At Waterloo especially.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15So he came here, he said, "Not our finest hour."
0:24:15 > 0:24:17It strikes me that this is something to be so proud of.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21What's going to happen to the collection in the future?
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Oh, well, I hope it will always be open to the public,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27and people are very fascinated by it,
0:24:27 > 0:24:32and it's a great memorial in memory of my father and his great hobby.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I don't know if you've seen Ian's collection of model soldiers?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Oh, look.- Look at that.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40I recognise the scarf.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42You recognise the scarf!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- I'm quite proud of it.- It's lovely, isn't it?- It's very good.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49It's lovely. It's wonderful.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Private Pike.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55And off they go. We'll expect military precision tomorrow, chaps.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57It's been a delightful day antiquing, though,
0:24:57 > 0:24:59but for now, nighty-night.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06It's a new day and our celebrities are back in the Morris.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Here we go again, then.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Another lovely day.- Absolutely.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I've just got to hope it'll be as good as yesterday.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14- We had...- We had a scream.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I've learned an incredible amount.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19I will tell you one thing, I'll be brutally honest,
0:25:19 > 0:25:20either...
0:25:20 > 0:25:24And I think David agrees with me.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I say I think he agrees with me, it was very, very hard
0:25:27 > 0:25:30to understand him while he had his head in his hands.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35But I actually think that I will either do incredibly well,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38in which case it'll be very much down to David, or it could be
0:25:38 > 0:25:40one of the spectacular losses
0:25:40 > 0:25:42that's there's ever been on Celebrity Road Trip.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46And what about David and Raj?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Oh, dear, what happened to military precision, eh?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- The clutch has gone.- Oh, dear.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Yeah. It's done for.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Here come the cavalry.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Oh, look, it's broken down!
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- It's yours.- What do you mean? Oh, it's mine, innit?!
0:26:01 > 0:26:02HE LAUGHS
0:26:02 > 0:26:05That's not funny at all.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Oh, come on, that's not...
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Oh, yeah, ha-ha-ha(!)
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Oh, look at this.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Come on, Rick. - They've sabotaged our car.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21I think we sabotaged it yesterday. I don't know what we've done.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Who was driving it all day yesterday?- It's broken!
0:26:25 > 0:26:30- I'm sorry. Raj, you've done this? - I have got nothing to do with this.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Come on, this is meant to be a road trip.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Do you want the car?- I want the car so badly it's unbelievable.- I do.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38No tricks.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41At the end of the day, you two are, we know, you're car nuts.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- We're quite happy to be... To walk, aren't we?- Seriously?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Yeah, well, we could call a cab.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Well, eventually, I'm sure we might call...
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I think there's a trick, but I want to go.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I think there's a trick, but I'll go for it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- So we have the car? - We'll take it.- We'll take it.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- The keys are in there. - The keys are in there.- Right.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Heavens! Glad we sorted that out.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01He is my best mate,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03but I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw them.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- Something's very, very odd. - CAR STALLS
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- Oh, there's that, though.- Nice one!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10We didn't tell you about that.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Aha!
0:27:11 > 0:27:15The trustee Morris Traveller, living up to its reputation as the
0:27:15 > 0:27:17car that got Britain moving after the war.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- Do you want to get out of the car and rock it?- Yeah, I'm trying to.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Where's the coffee?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Yeah, and I think we should go and have a coffee now.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Losers!
0:27:26 > 0:27:29There they go. Hey!
0:27:32 > 0:27:34David and Rick are headed to the
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Norfolk market town of Wymondham
0:27:36 > 0:27:39with £125 in their pocket.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41I think there's something wrong with those two,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44they don't like cars at all. I think there's... I think they need therapy
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- of some sort.- I know. Ian and I have so much in common being great mates,
0:27:47 > 0:27:52- bosom buddies, but cars... He can take them or leave them.- Yeah?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- And he's left this one. - He's left this. Ha! We've got it.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Established about 35 years ago, this place has a mix of antiques,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03collectibles and furniture.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Hello.- Hello there. I'm Rick. - Nice to meet each you.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07- I'm Donna.- Hello, Donna.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Nice to meet you. Come in, welcome, have a look around.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- Brilliant.- Upstairs and down. Do you want to start upstairs?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Shall we go upstairs?- Yeah, then we can fall down afterwards.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- Do you trust us, Donna?- Yeah. - Are you sure?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20With no time to waste, they get straight to it.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- Shall we do a bit of tactics? I'll go in here.- OK.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- And I'll do the next room.- Yeah.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26- OK.- You go down there. Yeah.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Sounds like a plan.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Do try and keep focused, Rick.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42That's better. Is all that glitters really gold? Time for some advice.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44David.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- Here I am.- Sir.- OK.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52What I would do with that is I would pitch the frame to a buyer as simply
0:28:52 > 0:28:54a frame. You can put a picture in it.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56- Yeah.- You can put a better mirror in it.- Yeah.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58- And it is a lovely size.- Yeah.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01I'm surprised it's big enough for Rick. Ha!
0:29:01 > 0:29:03While they ponder the gilt frame at £58,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05let's see how the other two are doing.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11Ian and Raj have given up on walking and are cabbing their way
0:29:11 > 0:29:14to just outside Norwich city centre.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Mike, I have to say, this is a beautiful,
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- beautiful city you live in. - Thank you.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Tell me some interesting facts about Norwich.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Norwich, erm,
0:29:27 > 0:29:30used to have a church for every week of the year and
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- a pub for every day of the year. - THEY LAUGH
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Brilliant! Perfect!
0:29:40 > 0:29:44Here we are, Ian. We are at the shop.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46This place is a whopper,
0:29:46 > 0:29:49with over 60 dealers spread over two floors.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- This goes everywhere! - I told you it was big.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57What's also of some size is this pair's wallet,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00they've got £310 to play with.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05- Look! Oh, those trains. - That is lovely.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10- Hornby train goods set number 20. - Oh, I think that is gorgeous.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14I had the Hornby train set when I was six.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Ian, there is so much more to look at, OK? We need to keep moving.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19- I know.- That's good.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22That's good, that's something we can possibly look at.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24You are slapping me on the wrist, aren't you?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26No, I'm not slapping you on the wrist at all.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29The Hornby engine and carriage have no ticket price,
0:30:29 > 0:30:34but one to keep in mind. We'll leave Ian and Raj to browse.
0:30:36 > 0:30:3811 miles down the road in Wymondham,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40David is excited with another find.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Right, let me introduce you to something which I think is
0:30:45 > 0:30:47very interesting.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- Pole screen.- Pole screen, yeah. Do you know why they were designed?
0:30:51 > 0:30:57- I've got no idea.- This is designed for reading or working by the fire.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59So let's say it's wintertime, you're sat in front of the fire,
0:30:59 > 0:31:03you're a lady, you are crocheting, you're making a tapestry,
0:31:03 > 0:31:06the heat of the fire is burning maybe the middle part of your body,
0:31:06 > 0:31:08so you'll adjust the pole screen.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Maybe it's burning your face,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- you'll adjust it to remove the heat from your face.- Oh, wow.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15It's a very clever little contraption.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18And then, in the summer months, when the fire is not in use,
0:31:18 > 0:31:23it would simply sit in front of the fire as a lovely display piece,
0:31:23 > 0:31:27and that's why you would have a lovely piece of artwork
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- effectively in the panel there. - Excellent.
0:31:30 > 0:31:35So, with the ticket price of 85 for the pole screen and £58 on the
0:31:35 > 0:31:39frame they spotted earlier, it's time to apply their charm.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Donna! Hello.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Walk this way. You're doing a good job.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Right, now, we have been told that you are the money lady of
0:31:50 > 0:31:52this joint, OK?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Be prepared to be charmed.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- We are going to do our very best to charm you.- Right.- OK.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03- We love the Victorian frame.- Yeah, lovely.- We really like that.- OK.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- And we like the pole screen.- Yeah.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09We would like to be able to pick the pair of these up for
0:32:09 > 0:32:11around about 70, 75 quid.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13SHE SIGHS
0:32:13 > 0:32:14Crikey. That is tough.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18Um, the best I can do on the two together...
0:32:20 > 0:32:22..is 85.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Oh!
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- That is the absolute best. - Well, I don't think...
0:32:27 > 0:32:30I don't think the lovely Donna would be bluffing that that's best.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34We can... We can just literally stretch to that
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- with what we've got left. - So, have we done a deal, then?
0:32:37 > 0:32:38- Oh, I think so. Are you happy?- Yeah.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- Are you happy, Donna? - Yeah, I'm happy.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41- We're all happy. - Thank you very much.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- Thank you very much.- Donna, bless you. Thanks very much.- Thank you.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- Rick doesn't carry cash.- No. - I've been married too many times.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Donna, you're an angel. Thank you so much.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- Thank you very much. Thank you. - Bless you, thanks.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Sorry for charming you so.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58That is the gilt frame for £35 and the pole screen for £50.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- Well done, Rick.- Thank you kindly, sir. A goodly day.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Well done, David and Rick. That is you all shopped up.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Back in Norwich, Raj and Ian have been working their way
0:33:12 > 0:33:17- around the two floors of Lucy's Emporium.- Oh!
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Oh, stand lively, what has Ian spotted?
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- Oh, Lorna Bailey. - Do you like that?- I do.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30- That teapot, I think, is absolutely glorious, straightaway.- I do too.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33I think that Lorna Bailey is really collectible.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Lorna Bailey's ceramics were produced in limited editions in the
0:33:37 > 0:33:39late '90s, early '00s.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40Though not antique,
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Lorna's been described as the new Clarice Cliff.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46She's actually stopped working now,
0:33:46 > 0:33:48so her pieces will go up in the future.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51If I was going to choose one piece in here, Ian,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53there is only one piece I would choose, and that's the truth,
0:33:53 > 0:33:55and that is the teapot as well.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- We could put two of them together. - A pair.- Yeah, the pair of teapots.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Let's say, for the two... What's on the other one?
0:34:02 > 0:34:0567, right. We've got 67, 73.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09- Right, if you could...- 140.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- If you could get those two... - 100? 90?
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- 80?- Come on, come on!
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- 70?!- Yeah!- What? Both of them for the price of one?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Good luck with that, then.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24But before the big haggle, there's a chance to split up for one
0:34:24 > 0:34:26last scout about.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30Oh, oh, isn't he beautiful?
0:34:30 > 0:34:33I know he's not old, I know he's not antique,
0:34:33 > 0:34:35but I just love him.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37I wonder what Raj will say.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41I love him. I absolutely love him. Raj!
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Yeah.- Where are you?
0:34:44 > 0:34:46I'm over here. I'm over here.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I was calling you over here to see something else,
0:34:48 > 0:34:51but I just want to see your face when you see this.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54From here, I can see this clown's reduced.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56£109.
0:34:56 > 0:35:01- Raj.- Oh, my goodness. Have you gone mad?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04I love him! I love him! Gone mad?
0:35:06 > 0:35:08- What's he made of? - KNOCKING
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- Fibreglass. - Yeah, it's fibreglass, Ian.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14- I tell you what, if we could get that...- Yeah. For?
0:35:15 > 0:35:18£40, £50,
0:35:18 > 0:35:22- it would be... It would be a fun item.- The least we can do...
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- The least we can do after all that is give him a name.- I think so too.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- How about...? - I know what you're going to...
0:35:30 > 0:35:31- Ricky!- Ricky!
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I can't see the resemblance myself.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38OK, so, you're going to go downstairs with two clowns.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41And I don't know what Mr Wakeman will make of this.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42It's been a long day.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45HE CHUCKLES
0:35:45 > 0:35:48The man in charge of the deals today is Patrick.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50First up, Ricky the clown.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54It's going to have to be very, very cheap.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56I mean, I can see it has been reduced and reduced and reduced.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58- It's got to be a joke. - Yeah, it's got to be a price that...
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Yeah, I can ring somebody on that.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02It actually belongs to one of my daughters.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Goody! She'll be on speed dial. This will be quick.
0:36:06 > 0:36:0875 would be the death.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11- Shall we think about it?- Yep.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15I don't think Ricky's sold. How about the Lorna Bailey teapots?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17As a pair, what's the very best you can do on that?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Without ringing the dealer, I can only take 10%,
0:36:20 > 0:36:24but I can ring her and get back to you on that one.
0:36:24 > 0:36:2610%.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30- OK.- That would be lovely if you would.- Back on the blower, Patrick.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- I've got Judy on the phone about the teapots at the moment.- OK.
0:36:33 > 0:36:38- She saying 130, the pair. - That's just 10%.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42Yeah, that's... No, that's way too high.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- Would you have a word with her? - I certainly would.- Yeah?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- I'll put you on the phone to him. - Hello, Judy.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Hello, this is Raj here. I've got Ian as well with me.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56We do like your teapots, but we'd offer you 80 for them.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00'I can't go any lower, that's what I paid on them...'
0:37:01 > 0:37:05How about we go to 85?
0:37:05 > 0:37:08She's saying 90.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- 90.- 90 it is.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14Raj seals the deal. Next up, the Hornby train set.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Ian, your turn.
0:37:16 > 0:37:21The next thing we do need to know is... Because there's no price on...
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- No, it is mine, that. - Oh, it's yours?
0:37:23 > 0:37:24So you don't want to sell it, then?
0:37:24 > 0:37:28Well, I will sell it at a price, but it's going to be about...
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Very best, 150.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35I'm not even going to look at you when I say this. How about 75 cash?
0:37:35 > 0:37:38I can't do that. I would be losing on it.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- £80.- £80.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- £80, we've got a deal.- We've got a deal.- Wow.- Ricky, I'm sorry.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- We're going to leave Ricky. - Yeah, leaving Ricky.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49That's it, that's all right.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Brilliant. We got there.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- That's wonderful.- There you go.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Oh, Patrick, thank you. Thank you so much.- Well done, Ian.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56Well done indeed.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01That's the Lorna Bailey teapots for £90 and the Hornby train set in
0:38:01 > 0:38:02an original box for 80.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05180. You'll need £10 change.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06If you don't mind.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- Yes! Thank you.- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Thank you very much indeed. - Well done, chaps.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16- Four down, one to go.- Absolutely.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- I'm sorry we had to leave Ricky behind.- Be careful with those!
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Shopping complete, David and Rick
0:38:26 > 0:38:28are headed to the fine city
0:38:28 > 0:38:29of Norwich to uncover
0:38:29 > 0:38:31some incredible history hidden in
0:38:31 > 0:38:33the cathedral, and it seems
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Rick's a familiar face around here.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- You know this place pretty well. - I know this place very, very well.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41I've done a couple of concerts here with choirs and opera singers.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43It's beautiful.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47David and Rick are here to uncover a hidden heritage that offers
0:38:47 > 0:38:51a fascinating glimpse into Norwich's history. Worshipers left
0:38:51 > 0:38:55their mark here, quite literally, 500 years ago.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Archaeologist Matthew Champion is part of
0:38:58 > 0:39:02a team uncovering Norfork's medieval graffiti.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06We've got everything from medieval ship graffiti, we've got prayers
0:39:06 > 0:39:11on the walls, we've got witch marks, we've got text, faces, hands,
0:39:11 > 0:39:14the lot, just about anything you can possibly think of.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Amongst all this graffiti, apparently,
0:39:16 > 0:39:20you've got musical graffiti, which I never ever knew existed anywhere.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23We do indeed. It is extremely rare.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Musical graffiti is one of the rarest types of graffiti you can
0:39:26 > 0:39:30come cross anywhere in the country - there are only about five or six
0:39:30 > 0:39:33really good inscriptions, and one of them is here in Norwich Cathedral.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35- Shall we go and add some, Rick? - That's a very good idea.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37I'm sure Matt won't mind.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40I'll do a heart with "I love David" in the middle of it,
0:39:40 > 0:39:41that would be nice.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Ha-ha-ha!
0:39:43 > 0:39:46The graffiti wasn't done under the cover of darkness
0:39:46 > 0:39:48by 16th-century rebellious youths.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Oh, no, worshipers sanctioned
0:39:50 > 0:39:54by the church left their mark to educate others.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58There are over 5,000 graffiti markings in Norwich Cathedral,
0:39:58 > 0:40:02all almost invisible to the naked eye.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Fortunately, Matthew knows where to look.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08Most of the time you can walk past it and you just don't realise
0:40:08 > 0:40:10- it's there.- No, you wouldn't.- No.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13So what we do, quite simply, is we use one of these -
0:40:13 > 0:40:14a very powerful light.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18And what you do is you shine it obliquely right across the surface.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22- Oh, my goodness me!- Oh, heaven! - It looks like a different wall.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Recent archaeological discoveries hope to shine new light on
0:40:25 > 0:40:30the meanings and motivation behind Norfolk's medieval graffiti.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34There are 650 medieval churches in the county with secretive
0:40:34 > 0:40:37scrolling scratched onto the surfaces of most of them.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39- So as...- Oh, wow.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43As I move that light around, you can see it completely changes.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47- Oh, look, down on the bottom, there's...- Date, 1650.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Lost for hundreds of years,
0:40:49 > 0:40:52experts are only now starting to work out what they mean.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54There's 17th-century graffiti in there.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56There is 18th-century graffiti.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00What I wanted to show you, Rick, is down here.
0:41:00 > 0:41:01Oh, the music, yeah.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06And what we've got here are two lines of musical notation,
0:41:06 > 0:41:08and you'll note they're on a four-line stave
0:41:08 > 0:41:10rather than a modern five-line stave.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13And you can just see across here, you've got the notes
0:41:13 > 0:41:15all the way across.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19It's believed this music graffiti dates from around 1550 and is
0:41:19 > 0:41:21likely to be a medieval chant.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25You can understand why people would leave a mark - their name, you know,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27a date - but why on earth
0:41:27 > 0:41:30would somebody leave that as a mark here?
0:41:30 > 0:41:33We're assuming that this is someone either trying to work out
0:41:33 > 0:41:36a piece of music or they're teaching someone else a piece of music.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40I've written music down on all sorts of things. When an idea comes
0:41:40 > 0:41:42to you... I've done it on napkins,
0:41:42 > 0:41:44I've done it on lavatory paper.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48If I've got... And suddenly, "Oh!"
0:41:48 > 0:41:51You'll likely rush it and you'll write it down and you won't do
0:41:51 > 0:41:52a lot, but that is enough
0:41:52 > 0:41:55for when you come to write and do it properly.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- It's almost a memoir.- Absolutely.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Sounds plausible.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02But can Rick make sense of it?
0:42:02 > 0:42:04It's not difficult to know when notation goes up,
0:42:04 > 0:42:07how much it goes up by and how much it comes down by.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09You know what I'm going to ask you to do.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12I haven't got anything here to play...
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- Surely we can find an organ, can't we?- I'm sure we could.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17- Give it a go?- Well, I can have a go. - Let's hear it.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19There'll be a lot of musical medieval experts who
0:42:19 > 0:42:23- will go, "That's wrong!" But I don't care.- Who cares! Come on.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27The cathedral organ beckons.
0:42:27 > 0:42:33If I had to try and translate it in Wakeman terms, shall we say,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36if I wanted to see if I could get a choir to sing this,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38they did lots of fifths and fourths,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40they didn't have the modern sounding...
0:42:40 > 0:42:42HE PLAYS A CHORD
0:42:42 > 0:42:45..nice, bright thirds and things we have now, and triads,
0:42:45 > 0:42:48so if you took the notes and went...
0:42:53 > 0:42:55And then came down...
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Although beautiful, medieval chants were very simple.
0:43:05 > 0:43:10The graffiti in the cathedral and the churches is of enormous
0:43:10 > 0:43:12academic and archaeological interest,
0:43:12 > 0:43:15but what's more exciting is the physical connection to the past.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Music played an important part in medieval worship.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24It's no coincidence that many choir schools can still be found in
0:43:24 > 0:43:28major cathedrals where musical graffiti is being uncovered today.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31- ORGAN PLAYS - He's not bad, is he?- He's all right.
0:43:37 > 0:43:41Still in Norwich, it's time to visit Aladdin's Cave Antiques Centre,
0:43:41 > 0:43:44with 16,000 square feet of collectibles.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47No magic genie here, though, just Raj and Ian.
0:43:47 > 0:43:48OK. Shall we put them down here?
0:43:48 > 0:43:51- Yeah, stick them down here, shall we?- Somebody might buy them.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54Sales don't count unless they are at auction, Ian.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57They're mine, they're mine! OK.
0:43:57 > 0:43:58Better get browsing.
0:44:03 > 0:44:04So much to look at.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07How about a cabinet full of Oriental goodies?
0:44:09 > 0:44:12Chinese at the moment is doing really well.
0:44:12 > 0:44:16- That Chinese carved figure's quite nice.- I think I know him.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19Will he give you a good profit, though, Ian?
0:44:19 > 0:44:21But what else is there here?
0:44:21 > 0:44:22Look to your left.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26- Oh, yes.- What were we doing yesterday?- Yes.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- The miniature... The model soldiers, I should say.- Wow.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31Yeah, look at those. The work that has gone into those.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34Bonsai village people.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37They need some prices, so it's time meet the owner, Graham.
0:44:37 > 0:44:38Hi, Graham.
0:44:38 > 0:44:41- Nice to meet you. How are you doing? - Nice to meet you.
0:44:41 > 0:44:42There's a few pieces I wouldn't mind...
0:44:42 > 0:44:45Do you mind, if we can get them out and put them on the counter here?
0:44:45 > 0:44:48- We can have a look.- The lighting is a bit better here and I can have
0:44:48 > 0:44:50- a really good look. Is that OK? - Mm-hm, no problem.- Brilliant.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54Raj and Ian have their eyes on the model bonsai village people,
0:44:54 > 0:44:56a handsome blue vase,
0:44:56 > 0:45:01Ian's wooden friend and a lovely Chinese 19th-century Canton bowl.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03Graham, we've got four items out here.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Can you could just give me the prices, first of all,
0:45:05 > 0:45:08- so we can either rule them out or rule them in?- OK.
0:45:09 > 0:45:13- 19th century.- Yeah.- Late 19th century.- Yeah, yeah.- Chinese.- Yeah.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15150.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19- OK.- Japanese, circa 1880.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23Carved boxwood. 180.
0:45:24 > 0:45:28- My favourite piece.- Canton, family of royals.- It's amazing.
0:45:28 > 0:45:311860. 1880.
0:45:33 > 0:45:34That's going to be 250.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36And the price on the village people?
0:45:36 > 0:45:38It's 120 the set.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41Decisions, decisions.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43They've got £104 left.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45I think we're going to have to eliminate that.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47We just don't have the money for that and I don't want to,
0:45:47 > 0:45:49you know, make such a low offer.
0:45:49 > 0:45:50I love it.
0:45:50 > 0:45:53How about the Japanese bloke?
0:45:53 > 0:45:56The damage doesn't matter so much.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59On carvings, it's not... I mean, this isn't quite so serious.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03Ticketed at 180, Graham, what's your best?
0:46:03 > 0:46:04100.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07THEY GASP Time to make a decision.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10- Shall we close our eyes and point at the one we want?- OK, let's do it.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13OK, on the count of three. One, two, three.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17OK!
0:46:17 > 0:46:22Professional as ever. But is there any wiggle room on the 100?
0:46:22 > 0:46:27- Could we say 70, cash?- You're getting close now.- 70 cash?- 75.
0:46:27 > 0:46:3075 cash? I'm going to get Ian to shake your hand.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32Wow. Thank you.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35- Lovely.- Thank you very much indeed, lovely. Gorgeous.
0:46:35 > 0:46:39- We've got enough left. - He carries the money.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41Oh, he's letting me look at the money this time.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44- Yes.- We're running out.
0:46:44 > 0:46:46Thank you so much. And we have change.
0:46:48 > 0:46:53- And five is 80.- Thank you.- Graham, thank you ever so much.- Thank you.
0:46:53 > 0:46:57- Brilliant, we are very pleased with that. All the best to you.- Bye now.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59Good stuff, but a bag might help.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01- Ian.- Yes.- Would you mind carrying those?- All right.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04- I've run out of hands. - I shall drop these, not you.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08# Hey, diddle-dee... #
0:47:08 > 0:47:10Not a bad lot.
0:47:12 > 0:47:16All shopped up, then, it's time to have a gander at one another's buys.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19Truth be known, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22- Well, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. - I didn't, though.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24It's been awful for me.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27We went in for things that can either go incredibly well or
0:47:27 > 0:47:30- incredibly badly.- We have just gone for class, haven't we?
0:47:30 > 0:47:32I think we have, to be honest.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34Just amazing for a couple of people who don't have any.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36THEY LAUGH
0:47:36 > 0:47:39Time for the unveiling of Ian and Raj's goodies.
0:47:39 > 0:47:40I have to tell you,
0:47:40 > 0:47:44I'm not keen on this stuff, I never have been, but those I love.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46I love the train set and the canes are fun.
0:47:46 > 0:47:50Those two canes, which are silver-collared and silver-ended,
0:47:50 > 0:47:52cost us £50.
0:47:52 > 0:47:54I know that canes are very collectible. People do those.
0:47:54 > 0:47:59The Lorna Bailey? The two teapots cost us 90, £90.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01Overall, how much did you spend?
0:48:01 > 0:48:03335.
0:48:03 > 0:48:07- 335. Oh, big spend, big spend. - Three, two, one...
0:48:07 > 0:48:08And now for David and Rick's.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11RAJ: Mm! I like...
0:48:11 > 0:48:15- I personally love the Ironstone. - The Ironstone is gorgeous.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18- Yeah, I like those.- They are lovely. And they are a pair.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21- Pair, yeah, absolutely.- They are nice.- Got a nice Victorian mirror.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23- Love the frame. - Nice Victorian mirror.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26- Well, you're right... - Original glass?- No, no. Not at all.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29No, the frame is. The frame is.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31I think we've agreed that our favourite piece -
0:48:31 > 0:48:35both of us absolutely adore this - our favourite item,
0:48:35 > 0:48:38is the Art Deco walnut display cabinet.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40Well, that is what is really in vogue at the moment. What did
0:48:40 > 0:48:42- you pay for it?- We paid the money.
0:48:42 > 0:48:48- For that...- How much did you pay? - For that and the plates was 225.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51- Yeah. So how much was your total spend?- £370.
0:48:51 > 0:48:56- Or thereabouts.- That's not a bad array of items for £370.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58For what it's worth, I would, at an auction,
0:48:58 > 0:49:02- I'd bid on those all day. I love those.- All right, guys...
0:49:02 > 0:49:05- Talking of auction, we've got to get there. So shall we do it?- Yep.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08- Very best of luck, you guys.- I think you have done brilliant, mate.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10- Great.- Fantastic.
0:49:10 > 0:49:11- Well done, Raj.- Fantastic.
0:49:11 > 0:49:15Oh, terribly polite, but what do they really think?
0:49:16 > 0:49:19If you had the opportunity to swap completely,
0:49:19 > 0:49:23all of theirs for all of yours, what would you do?
0:49:23 > 0:49:26- I would keep what we've got. - Fantastic. So would I.
0:49:26 > 0:49:31Like you, I think the one that could go silly is the Art Deco.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33- Yeah.- The cabinet. - The display cabinet.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35Shall we go and break a few of the...? The shelves?
0:49:35 > 0:49:38Maybe we need to take the keys away with us when we go.
0:49:38 > 0:49:42I love the little teapots, I think they're just absolutely gorgeous.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44- Yeah, they are.- I hope we both do well cos I think it is
0:49:44 > 0:49:46- a lovely collection of stuff.- It is.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48There is no doubt about it, it's a great collection, and,
0:49:48 > 0:49:50hey-ho, we'll see what happens.
0:49:53 > 0:49:54Off to the auction in Nottingham,
0:49:54 > 0:49:58and Ian and Rick's competitive streak is showing.
0:49:58 > 0:50:02- I have actually brought something with me in case you win.- Oh, no.
0:50:02 > 0:50:06I have. Oh, there it is. I bought that.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08- Do you know what that is?- No.
0:50:08 > 0:50:09It's my Christmas list,
0:50:09 > 0:50:12and you're going to be crossed off it if you win.
0:50:12 > 0:50:13No-one likes a bad loser.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18We are at Mellors & Kirk Auctioneers this morning.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20- Here they are.- There they come.
0:50:20 > 0:50:21Here they are.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24- They look happy now. - THEY LAUGH
0:50:24 > 0:50:25How long for?
0:50:25 > 0:50:27Go and get yours, I'll get mine.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30- Good morning, chaps. - How do you get out of this?
0:50:30 > 0:50:32Let me... Shall I help, Ian?
0:50:32 > 0:50:33He can't get out.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36- Poor old soul. - You two look happy at the moment.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38Welcome.
0:50:38 > 0:50:43Yeah, well, our confidence has waned on the journey. How are you, David?
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Very well. Great to see you.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48- I didn't have any confidence. - Oh, well, thank you, Ian(!)
0:50:48 > 0:50:52Ian and I have decided that if we make a loss, it's your fault.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56- And if we make a profit? - It's our fault.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59- Excellent. Shall we go in? - Yeah, brilliant.- Oh, Lord.
0:51:02 > 0:51:07Rick and David were our big spenders with £360 spent on five lots
0:51:07 > 0:51:13while Raj and Ian parted with £335 also on five lots.
0:51:13 > 0:51:17I wonder what gavel-basher Nigel Kirk makes of our
0:51:17 > 0:51:19celebrities' little collections?
0:51:19 > 0:51:22I would've said my favourite item was the Mouseman ashtray,
0:51:22 > 0:51:27but anything to do with smoking is really not especially sought,
0:51:27 > 0:51:29so I think although it is fine workmanship,
0:51:29 > 0:51:32I would probably plump for the walnut china cabinet.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34Take your seats, it's about to begin.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37- Welcome.- Thank you.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41First up, Rick's Royal Doulton vases.
0:51:42 > 0:51:4420. 20, I'm bid.
0:51:44 > 0:51:45- And five. 30.- Go on.
0:51:45 > 0:51:4830, may I say? £25.
0:51:48 > 0:51:5030. 35?
0:51:50 > 0:51:51- On my left...- Oh, no!
0:51:51 > 0:51:55- ..at £35. All done?- Ouch!
0:51:55 > 0:51:59But never mind, Rick, you've got four more lots still to come.
0:51:59 > 0:52:03HE WHIMPERS
0:52:03 > 0:52:04Give the man a tissue.
0:52:06 > 0:52:09Next, Ian's two walking canes with silver collars.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11£20. 25. 30?
0:52:11 > 0:52:13Yeah, you've got it.
0:52:13 > 0:52:1440. 40.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17- 45.- Creeping up.- 50, madam.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19£50. 60 for them.
0:52:19 > 0:52:23- £50, the lady's bid. I shall sell at £50.- No!
0:52:23 > 0:52:25- RICK:- More!- Bad luck.
0:52:25 > 0:52:29That's a loss apiece, but there is still plenty of time to make it up.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31Could have been worse. It could have been a lot worse.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33It could have been worse, Ian.
0:52:33 > 0:52:35Don't worry, Ian. Don't worry!
0:52:35 > 0:52:36It can only get better.
0:52:38 > 0:52:39Onwards and upwards.
0:52:39 > 0:52:43Hopefully, Rick's pair of Japanese style meat dishes will serve
0:52:43 > 0:52:44up a good return.
0:52:44 > 0:52:48£20, I'm bid. Five. 30. Five. 40. Five. Five.
0:52:48 > 0:52:5150. 50? £50.
0:52:51 > 0:52:5460. 70. 80. 90.
0:52:54 > 0:52:55£90.
0:52:55 > 0:52:56- RICK:- Come on!
0:52:56 > 0:52:58All done at £90 only. 100, I am bid.
0:52:58 > 0:53:02An American bidder online. Selling at £100.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04THEY CHEER
