-The nation's favourite celebrities...

-Oh, I like that.

0:00:020:00:04

-..paired up with an expert...

-Oh, we've had some fun, haven't we?

0:00:040:00:07

-..and a classic car.

-It feels as if it could go quite fast.

0:00:070:00:11

Their mission - to scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:110:00:14

-Yes!

-Fantastic!

-I'll do that in slow-mo.

0:00:140:00:16

-The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.

-Come on, boys!

0:00:160:00:20

-But it's no easy rise ride.

-Ta-da!

0:00:200:00:23

Who will find the hidden gem?

0:00:230:00:25

"Don't sell me!"

0:00:250:00:26

Who will take the biggest risks?

0:00:260:00:28

Go away, darling!

0:00:280:00:29

Will anybody follow expert advice?

0:00:290:00:32

I'm trying to spend money here.

0:00:320:00:34

-There will be worthy winners...

-Yes!

0:00:340:00:36

..and valiant losers.

0:00:360:00:37

Put your pedal to the metal, this is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.

0:00:380:00:43

Yeah!

0:00:460:00:47

Today, we are road tripping through East Anglia with two

0:00:510:00:54

of Britain's best-loved stars from stage and screen.

0:00:540:00:58

It's none other

0:00:580:00:59

than old buddies Rick Wakeman and Ian Lavender.

0:00:590:01:02

-How long have we known each other?

-30, 30-plus years.

0:01:030:01:06

IAN MUMBLES

0:01:060:01:08

Their vehicle of choice is this 1957 Morris woody Traveller.

0:01:080:01:13

When was the first time you went in a car with me?

0:01:130:01:15

-First in a car?

-Can you remember?

-I try not to.

0:01:150:01:18

-I think it was in Spain.

-In Spain? Oh, my word!

0:01:180:01:23

We did a golf tournament.

0:01:230:01:25

I remember being sat to you whilst you've been trying to change...

0:01:250:01:27

put my knee into third gear.

0:01:270:01:29

THEY LAUGH Bit familiar, Rick. Ha!

0:01:290:01:33

Musician, songwriter and actor,

0:01:340:01:36

the exuberant Mr Wakeman is best known for being a member of

0:01:360:01:39

the 1970s band Yes and for his prog rock keyboard prowess.

0:01:390:01:45

Ian's already getting the jitters.

0:01:500:01:53

-You have the advantage of me in this.

-Yes.

0:01:530:01:57

-Cos you've got one of these.

-I've got one of these, yeah.

0:01:570:02:01

The great thing is that people are so polite to you in the car.

0:02:010:02:03

They let you out.

0:02:030:02:04

You can get in the wrong lane and everybody goes,

0:02:040:02:06

"Oh, it doesn't matter, go wherever you like."

0:02:060:02:08

-You know?

-Isn't that because they see you and go,

0:02:080:02:11

-"It's that old pensioner."

-RICK LAUGHS

0:02:110:02:14

Most loved for his role as Private Pike in Dad's Army,

0:02:150:02:19

that stupid boy was ready with his gun

0:02:190:02:22

in the late '60s, early '70s sitcom.

0:02:220:02:24

Ian's graced stage and screen since then

0:02:240:02:28

from comedies like Yes Minister to a role in popular soap EastEnders.

0:02:280:02:32

Helping the celebrities hunt for antiques are two experienced

0:02:350:02:38

road trippers - David Harper

0:02:380:02:40

and Raj Bisram,

0:02:400:02:42

who are battling through the elements in a 1954 Austin Somerset.

0:02:420:02:47

Well, David.

0:02:470:02:48

-Here we are in sunny Norfolk(!)

-DAVID LAUGHS

0:02:480:02:51

I was going to say, that's a bit overenthusiastic, isn't it?

0:02:510:02:54

-It's chucking it down!

-I know, I know, I know.

0:02:540:02:56

But I tell you what, I'm happy, Raj,

0:02:560:02:57

because I'm in a fantastic Somerset car.

0:02:570:03:01

I've never driven one of these before.

0:03:010:03:03

Well, it shouldn't be a Somerset car, shouldn't it be a Norfolk car?

0:03:030:03:06

Of course it should be a Norfolk car!

0:03:060:03:08

The Somerset was manufactured before seatbelts were mandatory,

0:03:080:03:11

which is why they're not wearing any. Got it?

0:03:110:03:14

Any thoughts on the celebrities, chaps?

0:03:140:03:17

-These two guys know each other, I think.

-They do, they do, they do.

0:03:170:03:19

They've got some history.

0:03:190:03:21

In fact, they're quite competitive, I think,

0:03:210:03:23

so we'll have to see how that goes.

0:03:230:03:25

We will indeed.

0:03:250:03:26

With £400 each to spend,

0:03:290:03:31

this road trip kicks off in the North Norfolk village of

0:03:310:03:34

Burnham Market before snaking through the county of Norfolk and

0:03:340:03:38

then a heading into Nottinghamshire for auction in Nottingham.

0:03:380:03:41

Time to decide the teams.

0:03:430:03:44

But a tardy Rick and Ian have left our experts waiting patiently

0:03:440:03:48

in the rain.

0:03:480:03:50

RAJ: I can see they're on their way. A bit late.

0:03:500:03:52

Oh, pour souls! Oh, Lordy!

0:03:520:03:56

It's a moggy, minor trouble. And Rick's driving. Of course he is!

0:03:560:03:59

Of course he is!

0:03:590:04:01

ALL: Good morning.

0:04:010:04:04

-Lovely to meet you, Dave.

-Great to meet you.

-Wonderful.

0:04:040:04:06

And I'm loving the outfit.

0:04:060:04:08

-Looking forward to this?

-Yes! With...trepidation.

0:04:080:04:12

We decided to put the two good-looking ones together,

0:04:120:04:15

-so I'm going with you.

-That's us two, then, Rick.

0:04:150:04:17

-That's us two, yeah.

-THEY LAUGH

0:04:170:04:19

You're the older couple.

0:04:190:04:21

They will be kissing on the backseat at this rate.

0:04:210:04:23

Raj and Ian plump for the Morris

0:04:230:04:26

whilst David and Rick are in the Austen.

0:04:260:04:29

And both our chaps are letting their dates drive. How modern.

0:04:290:04:33

Off they head, then. Time now to talk tactics.

0:04:330:04:36

I think I'm going to look for quirky.

0:04:360:04:40

Quirky is good!

0:04:400:04:42

I like something that they'll go, "Oh, what's that?"

0:04:420:04:44

If I can find some quirky stuff,

0:04:440:04:48

if it's in an auction room,

0:04:480:04:51

then it's going to stand out.

0:04:510:04:52

How about the other team?

0:04:520:04:54

The tactic is to win, OK? We've got £400.

0:04:540:04:58

My advice would be - let's go out and spend it.

0:04:580:05:02

That's the spirit, Raj. Quick off the mark,

0:05:020:05:05

David and local boy Rick are first to arrive in Hunstanton,

0:05:050:05:10

a Norfolk seaside town built on The Wash bay as

0:05:100:05:13

a resort during Victorian times.

0:05:130:05:15

Here we go, our first one.

0:05:150:05:17

Right. Come on.

0:05:170:05:19

They've come to spend at antiques centre Le Strange Old Barns.

0:05:220:05:26

Stand by.

0:05:260:05:28

-How are you?

-Hi, I'm Rick.

-Lydia.

0:05:280:05:31

-And?

-Pat.

-Pat!

0:05:310:05:33

-I thought you said Rick?

-No, I'm Rick.

0:05:330:05:35

-That's Lydia. You're?

-I'll be Pat.

0:05:350:05:38

-You be Rick.

-No, you be Rick.

-You can be David.

0:05:380:05:41

All right, we'll go that way. We've got no time.

0:05:410:05:43

I remember games like this when I was in the band.

0:05:430:05:45

Yeah, yeah, keep going. Thanks, Lydia.

0:05:450:05:47

Makes you realise while why Rick's band was simply called Yes!

0:05:470:05:51

Rick's bought from the shop in the past so knows his way around.

0:05:520:05:56

I can't see any antiques.

0:05:560:05:57

When you come through here, you'll start seeing some stuff.

0:05:570:06:00

-OK.

-This is the room, really.

-Oh! No, OK, OK.

0:06:000:06:03

What's the plan, then, chaps?

0:06:030:06:05

-I think we'd better cover it pretty quickly.

-Yeah,

0:06:050:06:07

before the other two come in.

0:06:070:06:09

No flies on this pair,

0:06:100:06:11

and something's already caught Rick's eye.

0:06:110:06:14

-Doulton.

-Yeah. I like Doulton. Do you?

0:06:140:06:16

-I do like Doulton, it's good quality.

-Yeah.

0:06:160:06:18

These guys were making pots and vases like that for family homes,

0:06:180:06:23

middle-class homes,

0:06:230:06:24

at the very same time as making sewage pipes for the Empire.

0:06:240:06:28

-Wow.

-It was a great moneymaking firm.

-I didn't know.

0:06:280:06:30

Oh, they were churning them out left, right and centre.

0:06:300:06:34

These 19th-century vases are a good find.

0:06:340:06:36

-I like those.

-You were drawn to them.

0:06:360:06:38

-Yeah, I was.

-I'm going to get a key.

0:06:380:06:40

Here comes Pat.

0:06:400:06:42

Or was it Lydia?

0:06:420:06:43

-Do you want to help yourself?

-Yeah, lovely. Shall we have one each?

0:06:450:06:48

-Careful!

-Here you go.

-All right, thank you very much.

0:06:480:06:52

What does a closer look reveal?

0:06:520:06:54

Well, there is no damage that I can see, not on this one.

0:06:550:06:57

OK, now, let's have a look at the date.

0:06:570:06:59

So, we've got Doulton Burslem. You can see that there is

0:06:590:07:02

no England stamped. That was introduced in 1891, 1892.

0:07:020:07:06

-Yeah.

-So they are pre-1892 for certain.

0:07:060:07:10

Ticketed at £38 per vase,

0:07:100:07:13

Rick's going to need all his charm to secure a discount. But hurry!

0:07:130:07:17

Ian and Raj have finally made it to Hunstanton.

0:07:170:07:20

-Well, my goodness.

-They are here before us.

-They are here before us.

0:07:200:07:23

-The swine!

-We've got some catching up to do.

0:07:230:07:26

-Let's go and... Let's go and dug some scullery here.

-Absolutely!

0:07:260:07:30

-They have the advantage of us.

-They certainly do.

0:07:310:07:34

My goodness, maybe I should let their air out on their tyres

0:07:340:07:37

so they can't get away too quick.

0:07:370:07:39

Look lively, then, Ian. This isn't the Home Guard now, you know.

0:07:390:07:44

Wait for me!

0:07:440:07:45

Come on, come on, here we go. Hello, hello, hello.

0:07:450:07:48

-Where are they?

-Where are they? Yeah.

0:07:480:07:50

Don't sell them anything yet!

0:07:500:07:52

Oh, hang on. Oh!

0:07:520:07:53

-Hello, hello, hello.

-I think this would look lovely...

0:07:530:07:56

That's a real antique.

0:07:560:07:57

..on somebody's mantelpi...

0:07:570:08:00

Oh, look! Look who's here.

0:08:000:08:02

-Found anything yet?

-No.

-No.

-No?

0:08:020:08:04

-No.

-Been here a long time?

-No.

-Not a thing.

-No, no.

0:08:040:08:08

We're just having a little browse, really.

0:08:080:08:11

Don't do any trade with them, please,

0:08:110:08:13

they are just not nice people.

0:08:130:08:15

-Carry on, then.

-Don't give them any discount.

0:08:150:08:17

No, none whatsoever.

0:08:170:08:19

All right, chaps, back to business.

0:08:190:08:21

Time to discuss a price on the vases.

0:08:210:08:24

Are they 38 for the pair?

0:08:240:08:26

-No, that is...

-Really?

-..38 each.

0:08:270:08:31

The vases belong to another dealer, so while Pat gets on the phone,

0:08:310:08:35

just round the corner, Ian and Raj have found some walking canes.

0:08:350:08:39

You know what we could do? We could buy both of them.

0:08:390:08:43

Why not?

0:08:430:08:44

What he's asking? He's asking...

0:08:440:08:47

What's that on there? What's he asking?

0:08:470:08:49

He's asking 50 on that and 38 on that, so 88.

0:08:490:08:52

Hm.

0:08:520:08:54

-Estimate for auction, they should be estimated £50 to £80.

-A pair?

0:08:540:09:00

For the two of them, yeah?

0:09:000:09:01

We could make top estimate.

0:09:010:09:03

So we really...

0:09:030:09:04

I know they've got 80 on the two...

0:09:040:09:06

-This is where my problem comes in.

-OK.

0:09:060:09:08

-I'd be perfectly happy to pay £80 for the pair.

-I can tell. OK.

0:09:080:09:11

-I've got to stick very close to you.

-Yes, right.

0:09:110:09:14

OK, because I already know there's going to be some competition

0:09:140:09:17

here. We should try to get these, if we can, between

0:09:170:09:22

£40 and £60.

0:09:220:09:25

But I'm more tending to go to the 45, OK?

0:09:250:09:30

One of the things, when buying, especially as a dealer,

0:09:300:09:34

is not to look too keen, I think, on something, you know...

0:09:340:09:38

Oh, dear!

0:09:380:09:39

This is where I learn how bad an actor I really am.

0:09:390:09:42

I hate them, hate them!

0:09:420:09:44

Meanwhile, Pat's been unable to speak to the owner,

0:09:440:09:46

but he's made an executive decision -

0:09:460:09:49

£50 for the pair of vases.

0:09:490:09:50

-Shall we just do it?

-Yeah. Please.

-Do it, shake his hand.

0:09:500:09:53

Thank you very much. Pat, you're a great gentleman.

0:09:530:09:55

Thank you very much. Thank you. And be careful with those.

0:09:550:09:58

-It's done.

-They're not maracas.

0:09:580:10:00

Certainly not at that price, huh!

0:10:000:10:02

-Do you want to just put them on there?

-Very gently.

0:10:020:10:06

-So I'm carrying the money, am I? What have we agreed?

-Ten.

0:10:060:10:09

-20, 30, 40, £50.

-£50?! Are you sure?

0:10:110:10:14

-Trust me.

-I am trusting you, Rick.

0:10:140:10:17

-Shall I take responsibility?

-I think it is probably safer. I drop things.

0:10:180:10:23

RICK LAUGHS

0:10:230:10:24

-Cheers, Pat.

-Good luck with them, David. Thank you.

0:10:240:10:27

Meanwhile, Raj and Ian have found the cabinets. What's this?

0:10:270:10:32

Oh, that, that...

0:10:350:10:37

-Oh, that's divine.

-That is lovely, isn't it? It is really lovely.

0:10:370:10:41

-A bit out of fashion, it's an ashtray.

-Yes.

0:10:410:10:43

I was just about to say exactly the same thing.

0:10:430:10:45

It's a shame it's an ashtray, which makes it not as saleable,

0:10:450:10:49

-but it's still... It's a piece of...

-BOTH: The Mouseman.

0:10:490:10:52

It's not ridiculously priced either.

0:10:520:10:55

With a ticket price of £68,

0:10:550:10:57

Mouseman - real name, Robert Thompson -

0:10:570:11:00

was a British maker of oak furniture in the early 20th century.

0:11:000:11:03

He featured a trademark carved mouse on his finished pieces

0:11:030:11:07

from about 1920.

0:11:070:11:09

OK, well, don't look too excited when we get Patrick.

0:11:090:11:11

-I quite like that.

-OK, let's put it back.

0:11:110:11:14

Yep. I'm not that wild about it, I just quite like it.

0:11:140:11:17

That's it! You're an actor, you're an actor. Perfect!

0:11:170:11:21

Getting a good deal may need an Oscar-winning performance,

0:11:220:11:26

though. Where is Patrick to talk money?

0:11:260:11:29

-Patrick.

-Raj.

0:11:290:11:31

Have you got a smile on your face?

0:11:310:11:33

Well, I think we are almost there.

0:11:330:11:35

I have been in touch with the dealers and the best I can

0:11:350:11:39

-offer will be 55 for the two sticks...

-Yeah.

0:11:390:11:44

..and 38 on the Mouseman ashtray.

0:11:440:11:47

That's £93.

0:11:490:11:51

What about £90 cash and we'll take them.

0:11:510:11:54

I don't think we can argue for £3.

0:11:540:11:57

-That is a pound for every dealer.

-Fantastic.

-£90.

-£90.

0:11:570:12:01

-We'll go for those.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Right.

0:12:010:12:04

Oh, I'm ready. This is my favourite part.

0:12:060:12:09

There are four of those and I think I have another...

0:12:090:12:11

Yes, I do. There, look.

0:12:130:12:16

-That's perfect.

-Voila.

-I don't even need to get change.

-You don't. £90.

0:12:160:12:21

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

0:12:210:12:23

-Thanks very much.

-Fantastic.

0:12:230:12:26

Bravo! A fine performance.

0:12:260:12:29

And their showbiz duties might not be over yet.

0:12:290:12:31

First shop's done. Ian, two fantastic items.

0:12:320:12:36

-Let's hope they make a bit of money.

-And if they don't, if they

0:12:360:12:39

don't, well, we'll just have to be a song and dance team together.

0:12:390:12:42

THEY LAUGH

0:12:420:12:44

We've got the sticks, baby, we got the sticks.

0:12:440:12:46

18 miles down the road,

0:12:500:12:51

Rick and David are flying this one solo in King's Lynn.

0:12:510:12:55

The word "lynn" means pool in and probably refers to a tidal pool

0:12:550:13:00

on the River Ouse.

0:13:000:13:01

Well, the old Somerset... The Somerset behaved herself well.

0:13:010:13:04

-Done all right, hasn't she?

-Yeah. Here we go.

0:13:040:13:07

Inside, awaits an eclectic mix of furniture and porcelain.

0:13:080:13:12

No "Lynn" for us today, but a dealer named Ruth. Hi, Ruth.

0:13:120:13:16

-I hope you have a good day.

-Well, thank you very much.

0:13:160:13:19

-Do you want to go one way, I'll go the other?

-That's a good idea.

-Yeah.

0:13:190:13:22

Shout me if you need any help.

0:13:220:13:23

Crikey! There is a lot on offer.

0:13:290:13:32

But Rick knows what he wants.

0:13:350:13:36

It's got to be big. I like big.

0:13:360:13:39

I do like big.

0:13:410:13:43

Ho, ho, ho!

0:13:440:13:45

-David?

-Yeah?

-You know I like big.

0:13:470:13:50

-You like big?

-Big. I found big.

0:13:500:13:54

-LAUGHS:

-How big?

0:13:540:13:55

Big.

0:13:550:13:57

Rick's not joking. It's a big Art Deco cabinet.

0:13:570:14:01

Oh, hello!

0:14:010:14:02

-Tell me why you love it.

-I just think that's gorgeous.

0:14:020:14:05

As a style icon, that is perfect

0:14:050:14:09

because it transports you back to

0:14:090:14:12

a period in time that you can date pretty much within 10 or 15 years.

0:14:120:14:17

1925 to 1939.

0:14:170:14:20

This Art Deco could charm at auction,

0:14:210:14:23

but it's a gamble nevertheless.

0:14:230:14:26

Will it have a big ticket price to match?

0:14:260:14:29

-Ruth.

-Yes.

-How much is the Deco cabinet in the hallway?

-Expensive.

0:14:290:14:33

-Oh.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:14:330:14:35

-It's expensive. Does that mean it's more than £80?

-Yes.

0:14:350:14:38

-It's more than £80.

-Yes. Yeah.

-How much more?

0:14:380:14:42

SHE WHISPERS, HE GASPS

0:14:420:14:44

So expensive she has to whisper it!

0:14:440:14:46

£260.

0:14:460:14:48

We'd never get that back.

0:14:480:14:50

-I don't think.

-Don't you think?

-No.

-No.

0:14:500:14:53

-Ruth, can it be sub-100?

-(No.)

0:14:530:14:56

-No?

-No, can't do that!

0:14:560:14:58

Ah. I sense a plan afoot.

0:14:580:15:00

-Right, we're warming her up.

-We're warming up,

0:15:000:15:03

cos Ruth looks like one of those really kind ladies...

0:15:030:15:05

DAVID LAUGHS

0:15:050:15:07

..you know, that cares about all musicians.

0:15:070:15:11

You are here to pick up antiques, Rick, not a wife.

0:15:110:15:14

Something else has caught Mr Wakeman's eye -

0:15:140:15:17

some substantial Japanese-style meat dishes.

0:15:170:15:20

-There is some weight to that.

-Exactly.

0:15:200:15:22

Let's bring it round into the light.

0:15:220:15:24

OK, so...

0:15:240:15:25

-The ribbing in that here.

-Yeah, yeah. Do you know what that is for?

0:15:250:15:28

-It's for meat, obviously, for the juices.

-Absolutely, absolutely.

0:15:280:15:33

Despite their Oriental pattern, the Fenton Stone Works was

0:15:330:15:36

based in Staffordshire, around the early part of the 19th century.

0:15:360:15:40

I'm looking for cracks and things on the back, and I cannot...

0:15:400:15:43

-I can't see any.

-Give them a bit of a whack.

0:15:430:15:45

If you hold each dish from the centre and whack one end...

0:15:450:15:50

TAPPING

0:15:500:15:52

Almost a tune.

0:15:540:15:56

I can see where your gold discs came from, Rick!

0:15:560:15:59

-I do like them.

-Now it is down to price.

-Oh!

0:15:590:16:04

Ticket price for the pair - £125. Stand by.

0:16:040:16:08

-Ruth.

-Yes?

0:16:080:16:10

Do you think I could possibly show you a few things and you could tell

0:16:100:16:13

me a bit about them and...?

0:16:130:16:15

Well, I can try. I'm not as knowledgeable as David.

0:16:150:16:19

Who's he(?) Is he arriving later?

0:16:190:16:22

-Those two dishes.

-Yeah.

0:16:220:16:24

-See, I would have to ring somebody up about those.

-OK.

0:16:240:16:27

-What's our offer?

-We'd be looking, I'd say,

0:16:270:16:31

60 to 70, top whack, really.

0:16:310:16:33

Time to get Zoe on the line.

0:16:330:16:36

Zoe. How are you?

0:16:360:16:40

As you probably know, we do like your Fenton.

0:16:400:16:44

We were hoping you might consider somewhere around about the 65 mark.

0:16:440:16:50

70? I'll tell you what, I'll take a punt at 70.

0:16:540:16:57

I think we've got a fair chance. You're an absolute darling.

0:16:570:17:01

Well done. Now, how about the £260 Art Deco cabinet?

0:17:040:17:08

-Ruth, I'm actually going down on my knees.

-Oh!

0:17:080:17:11

-Lordy!

-Have you got problems or something?

0:17:110:17:14

It's a bit worrying now, isn't it?

0:17:140:17:16

-I've only ever done that before to propose.

-Oh, right.

-Several times.

0:17:160:17:19

Thank you very much, David(!)

0:17:190:17:22

-Thanks so much for helping us out on those.

-Do I come down as well?

0:17:230:17:27

You are a reserve to come down.

0:17:270:17:30

-Do that.

-Excuse me just one second.

-Block your ears.

0:17:300:17:32

-When I go to the line, like that, "Is it possible?"

-OK.

0:17:320:17:35

-That's when you go down.

-Will you remind me to get up again?

0:17:350:17:38

-Just wink.

-Yeah, I will.

0:17:380:17:40

When I say, "Is it possible?" that's when you're down.

0:17:400:17:43

Thanks so much for helping us out on those plates,

0:17:440:17:47

they really are lovely. We do love that Art Deco cabinet.

0:17:470:17:52

I know that it's lots of money.

0:17:520:17:57

But we were hoping very much to ask you,

0:17:570:18:01

is it possible...

0:18:010:18:03

IS IT POSSIBLE...

0:18:030:18:05

SHE LAUGHS

0:18:060:18:08

Is it possible for you to come down a little bit on it

0:18:080:18:13

so that I can walk away a happy man with a smile on my face?

0:18:130:18:19

Would it be possible for something like 150?

0:18:190:18:23

160, I would do, on it.

0:18:230:18:25

A great offer, but Rick is not finished yet.

0:18:260:18:29

I suppose there's no chance, just to help us out,

0:18:290:18:34

to split between our 150 and 160 at 155? Would there?

0:18:340:18:39

-Yeah, I'll make fiver on it.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:18:410:18:44

Isn't she lovely? Isn't she lovely?

0:18:440:18:46

Aw.

0:18:460:18:48

Ruth, I shall come back here with my wife.

0:18:480:18:51

-Thank you, Ruth, thank you so much.

-OK. Thank you.

0:18:510:18:53

-You've been brilliant.

-I shall come back with my wife.

0:18:530:18:55

-Good.

-And I shall let her go loose.

0:18:550:18:57

You've been absolutely wonderful, thank you so much.

0:18:570:19:00

That brings the total spend to £275 so far.

0:19:000:19:05

Meanwhile, Ian and Raj have motored the Morris to just outside

0:19:070:19:11

King's Lynn to Houghton Hall to hear about one of the most

0:19:110:19:14

important battles of World War II.

0:19:140:19:18

This looks fascinating.

0:19:180:19:20

-And I was a soldier. You played a soldier.

-Well, sort of.

0:19:200:19:24

This could be quite exciting. Let's see what there is.

0:19:240:19:27

Their host is Lord David Cholmondeley.

0:19:290:19:32

-Hello there.

-Hello.

0:19:320:19:34

-Good to see you.

-Good to meet you too.

-How do you do, sir?

0:19:340:19:38

-Lovely to meet you.

-Good to meet you. Good to have you here.

0:19:380:19:41

Thank you!

0:19:410:19:42

My father would be thrilled cos he would never go out

0:19:420:19:46

when Dad's Army was on.

0:19:460:19:47

How lovely!

0:19:470:19:49

I wouldn't either.

0:19:490:19:50

In the summer of 1942,

0:19:520:19:53

the First Battle of El Alamein saw the Allied forces

0:19:530:19:57

hold firm against the German commander in Egypt,

0:19:570:20:00

Erwin Rommel.

0:20:000:20:01

It was vital to the Allies' success in World War II that they

0:20:010:20:05

held this position in the desert, and only one man

0:20:050:20:08

might topple Rommel - Field Marshal Montgomery.

0:20:080:20:12

Monty took command with an order which

0:20:120:20:14

has become one of the most famous in British military history.

0:20:140:20:18

"If we can't stay here alive, then let us stay here dead."

0:20:180:20:22

One of the officers serving Monty

0:20:220:20:25

at this time was Lord David's father, Lord Hugh Cholmondeley.

0:20:250:20:29

He'd always wanted to go into the Army, like his father.

0:20:300:20:34

He fought all through the North African campaign,

0:20:340:20:37

then up through Sicily and Italy, and then France,

0:20:370:20:43

through to Germany.

0:20:430:20:45

But it was at El Alamein that Lord Hugh's mettle

0:20:450:20:47

was put to the test.

0:20:470:20:49

At Houghton Hall, there are dioramas showing, in stunning detail,

0:20:490:20:52

some of these skirmishes in an unforgiving desert.

0:20:520:20:54

EXPLOSIONS

0:20:540:20:56

We've got a couple of scenes from in the desert,

0:20:560:20:59

and one of them my father used to say this is exactly as

0:20:590:21:03

he remembered it. And the figure with binoculars, he said,

0:21:030:21:08

"This is me looking out, seeing when Rommel's Africa Korps are

0:21:080:21:13

"coming over, in the distance, over the hills."

0:21:130:21:17

Erwin Rommel was the German commander in North Africa.

0:21:170:21:21

An incredible military strategist,

0:21:210:21:23

he was famous across the world as the Desert Fox.

0:21:230:21:26

But with Monty now at the helm in El Alamein, 14 days of major

0:21:260:21:30

fighting ended with Rommel's once invincible army in full retreat.

0:21:300:21:35

Monty's success depended on intelligence.

0:21:350:21:37

Lord Hugh and his small unit of men from the Royal Dragoons

0:21:370:21:41

were in the thick of things.

0:21:410:21:42

This scene here, Lord Cholmondeley, really depicts a scene that

0:21:430:21:47

your father would have actually been in when he won the Military Cross.

0:21:470:21:52

Absolutely. It's reconnaissance.

0:21:520:21:54

That's really what the armoured cars

0:21:540:21:56

were very much used for at that time.

0:21:560:21:59

He commanded a troop of three armoured cars for most of

0:21:590:22:02

that part of the war.

0:22:020:22:04

So here we have them on reconnaissance in the desert

0:22:040:22:08

somewhere, and you can just see in the distance, Rommel's tanks,

0:22:080:22:13

the Africa Korps tanks.

0:22:130:22:15

So they're cooking breakfast, my father and his team,

0:22:160:22:21

and of course they'd have to throw it all way.

0:22:210:22:23

That was the low point of the day, losing breakfast.

0:22:230:22:26

-Slinging the brew.

-THEY LAUGH

0:22:260:22:29

Lord Hugh was decorated with the Military Cross for gallantry

0:22:290:22:32

after the war ended for commanding his troop

0:22:320:22:35

under incredibly harsh conditions.

0:22:350:22:37

He was 23, 24.

0:22:380:22:41

Yes, it seems very young to be doing something like that.

0:22:410:22:45

There's no question, Lord Hugh was a capable officer who

0:22:450:22:49

understood how battles worked, an aptitude that may well have been

0:22:490:22:53

instilled in him from his childhood passion for model soldiers.

0:22:530:22:58

A keen collector as a boy, before the war,

0:22:580:23:00

he'd amassed several thousand,

0:23:000:23:02

which she would use to precisely recreate some of the greatest

0:23:020:23:06

struggles in British military history,

0:23:060:23:08

including the Battle of Waterloo,

0:23:080:23:10

Omdurman, and the Napoleonic era.

0:23:100:23:12

So, I guess when you were young, you would have seen all these

0:23:140:23:17

-soldiers on planning tables.

-They were.

0:23:170:23:20

They didn't have glass, so they needed dusting.

0:23:200:23:22

I was given the job often of dusting them after school.

0:23:220:23:26

I actually really enjoyed it, and that's how I sort of learned

0:23:260:23:29

about them, and I am still very fond of them.

0:23:290:23:31

The largest private collection of model soldiers in the world,

0:23:310:23:35

this incredible set is of international importance, boasting

0:23:350:23:39

20,000 little soldiers under the same roof, many incredibly rare.

0:23:390:23:43

And it's not just model collectors that are interested in gazing

0:23:430:23:47

through the glass at British victories. Oh, no.

0:23:470:23:50

This is the biggest diorama of Waterloo.

0:23:500:23:54

And I remember coming down when President Mitterrand of France

0:23:540:23:59

came here.

0:23:590:24:00

My father said, "Would you like to see my soldier collection?"

0:24:000:24:03

He said, "Oh, yes."

0:24:030:24:04

And of course, it's all British victories over the French.

0:24:040:24:08

Oh, dear!

0:24:080:24:10

At Waterloo especially.

0:24:100:24:12

So he came here, he said, "Not our finest hour."

0:24:120:24:15

It strikes me that this is something to be so proud of.

0:24:150:24:17

What's going to happen to the collection in the future?

0:24:170:24:21

Oh, well, I hope it will always be open to the public,

0:24:210:24:25

and people are very fascinated by it,

0:24:250:24:27

and it's a great memorial in memory of my father and his great hobby.

0:24:270:24:32

I don't know if you've seen Ian's collection of model soldiers?

0:24:320:24:36

-Oh, look.

-Look at that.

0:24:360:24:39

I recognise the scarf.

0:24:390:24:40

You recognise the scarf!

0:24:400:24:42

-I'm quite proud of it.

-It's lovely, isn't it?

-It's very good.

0:24:430:24:46

It's lovely. It's wonderful.

0:24:460:24:49

Private Pike.

0:24:490:24:50

And off they go. We'll expect military precision tomorrow, chaps.

0:24:500:24:55

It's been a delightful day antiquing, though,

0:24:550:24:57

but for now, nighty-night.

0:24:570:24:59

It's a new day and our celebrities are back in the Morris.

0:25:030:25:06

Here we go again, then.

0:25:060:25:08

-Another lovely day.

-Absolutely.

0:25:080:25:10

I've just got to hope it'll be as good as yesterday.

0:25:100:25:13

-We had...

-We had a scream.

0:25:130:25:14

I've learned an incredible amount.

0:25:140:25:16

I will tell you one thing, I'll be brutally honest,

0:25:160:25:19

either...

0:25:190:25:20

And I think David agrees with me.

0:25:200:25:24

I say I think he agrees with me, it was very, very hard

0:25:240:25:27

to understand him while he had his head in his hands.

0:25:270:25:30

But I actually think that I will either do incredibly well,

0:25:300:25:35

in which case it'll be very much down to David, or it could be

0:25:350:25:38

one of the spectacular losses

0:25:380:25:40

that's there's ever been on Celebrity Road Trip.

0:25:400:25:42

And what about David and Raj?

0:25:440:25:46

Oh, dear, what happened to military precision, eh?

0:25:480:25:51

-The clutch has gone.

-Oh, dear.

0:25:510:25:53

Yeah. It's done for.

0:25:530:25:55

Here come the cavalry.

0:25:550:25:57

Oh, look, it's broken down!

0:25:570:25:58

-It's yours.

-What do you mean? Oh, it's mine, innit?!

0:25:580:26:01

HE LAUGHS

0:26:010:26:02

That's not funny at all.

0:26:020:26:05

Oh, come on, that's not...

0:26:050:26:07

Oh, yeah, ha-ha-ha(!)

0:26:070:26:10

Oh, look at this.

0:26:110:26:13

-Come on, Rick.

-They've sabotaged our car.

0:26:130:26:16

I think we sabotaged it yesterday. I don't know what we've done.

0:26:160:26:21

-Who was driving it all day yesterday?

-It's broken!

0:26:210:26:24

-I'm sorry. Raj, you've done this?

-I have got nothing to do with this.

0:26:250:26:30

Come on, this is meant to be a road trip.

0:26:300:26:33

-Do you want the car?

-I want the car so badly it's unbelievable.

-I do.

0:26:330:26:37

No tricks.

0:26:370:26:38

At the end of the day, you two are, we know, you're car nuts.

0:26:380:26:41

-We're quite happy to be... To walk, aren't we?

-Seriously?

0:26:410:26:44

Yeah, well, we could call a cab.

0:26:440:26:46

Well, eventually, I'm sure we might call...

0:26:460:26:48

I think there's a trick, but I want to go.

0:26:480:26:50

I think there's a trick, but I'll go for it.

0:26:500:26:52

-So we have the car?

-We'll take it.

-We'll take it.

0:26:520:26:54

-The keys are in there.

-The keys are in there.

-Right.

0:26:540:26:57

Heavens! Glad we sorted that out.

0:26:570:26:59

He is my best mate,

0:26:590:27:01

but I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw them.

0:27:010:27:03

-Something's very, very odd.

-CAR STALLS

0:27:030:27:06

-Oh, there's that, though.

-Nice one!

0:27:060:27:08

We didn't tell you about that.

0:27:080:27:10

Aha!

0:27:100:27:11

The trustee Morris Traveller, living up to its reputation as the

0:27:110:27:15

car that got Britain moving after the war.

0:27:150:27:17

-Do you want to get out of the car and rock it?

-Yeah, I'm trying to.

0:27:170:27:21

Where's the coffee?

0:27:210:27:22

Yeah, and I think we should go and have a coffee now.

0:27:220:27:24

Losers!

0:27:240:27:26

There they go. Hey!

0:27:260:27:29

David and Rick are headed to the

0:27:320:27:34

Norfolk market town of Wymondham

0:27:340:27:36

with £125 in their pocket.

0:27:360:27:39

I think there's something wrong with those two,

0:27:390:27:41

they don't like cars at all. I think there's... I think they need therapy

0:27:410:27:44

-of some sort.

-I know. Ian and I have so much in common being great mates,

0:27:440:27:47

-bosom buddies, but cars... He can take them or leave them.

-Yeah?

0:27:470:27:52

-And he's left this one.

-He's left this. Ha! We've got it.

0:27:520:27:55

Established about 35 years ago, this place has a mix of antiques,

0:27:570:28:00

collectibles and furniture.

0:28:000:28:03

-Hello.

-Hello there. I'm Rick.

-Nice to meet each you.

0:28:030:28:06

-I'm Donna.

-Hello, Donna.

0:28:060:28:07

Nice to meet you. Come in, welcome, have a look around.

0:28:070:28:10

-Brilliant.

-Upstairs and down. Do you want to start upstairs?

0:28:100:28:12

-Shall we go upstairs?

-Yeah, then we can fall down afterwards.

0:28:120:28:15

-Do you trust us, Donna?

-Yeah.

-Are you sure?

0:28:150:28:17

With no time to waste, they get straight to it.

0:28:170:28:20

-Shall we do a bit of tactics? I'll go in here.

-OK.

0:28:200:28:23

-And I'll do the next room.

-Yeah.

0:28:230:28:25

-OK.

-You go down there. Yeah.

0:28:250:28:26

Sounds like a plan.

0:28:260:28:28

Do try and keep focused, Rick.

0:28:310:28:33

That's better. Is all that glitters really gold? Time for some advice.

0:28:370:28:42

David.

0:28:420:28:44

-Here I am.

-Sir.

-OK.

0:28:440:28:47

What I would do with that is I would pitch the frame to a buyer as simply

0:28:470:28:52

a frame. You can put a picture in it.

0:28:520:28:54

-Yeah.

-You can put a better mirror in it.

-Yeah.

0:28:540:28:56

-And it is a lovely size.

-Yeah.

0:28:560:28:58

I'm surprised it's big enough for Rick. Ha!

0:28:580:29:01

While they ponder the gilt frame at £58,

0:29:010:29:03

let's see how the other two are doing.

0:29:030:29:05

Ian and Raj have given up on walking and are cabbing their way

0:29:060:29:11

to just outside Norwich city centre.

0:29:110:29:14

Mike, I have to say, this is a beautiful,

0:29:140:29:18

-beautiful city you live in.

-Thank you.

0:29:180:29:21

Tell me some interesting facts about Norwich.

0:29:210:29:24

Norwich, erm,

0:29:240:29:27

used to have a church for every week of the year and

0:29:270:29:30

-a pub for every day of the year.

-THEY LAUGH

0:29:300:29:34

Brilliant! Perfect!

0:29:340:29:37

Here we are, Ian. We are at the shop.

0:29:400:29:44

This place is a whopper,

0:29:440:29:46

with over 60 dealers spread over two floors.

0:29:460:29:49

-This goes everywhere!

-I told you it was big.

0:29:500:29:53

What's also of some size is this pair's wallet,

0:29:530:29:57

they've got £310 to play with.

0:29:570:30:00

-Look! Oh, those trains.

-That is lovely.

0:30:000:30:05

-Hornby train goods set number 20.

-Oh, I think that is gorgeous.

0:30:050:30:10

I had the Hornby train set when I was six.

0:30:100:30:14

Ian, there is so much more to look at, OK? We need to keep moving.

0:30:140:30:18

-I know.

-That's good.

0:30:180:30:19

That's good, that's something we can possibly look at.

0:30:190:30:22

You are slapping me on the wrist, aren't you?

0:30:220:30:24

No, I'm not slapping you on the wrist at all.

0:30:240:30:26

The Hornby engine and carriage have no ticket price,

0:30:260:30:29

but one to keep in mind. We'll leave Ian and Raj to browse.

0:30:290:30:34

11 miles down the road in Wymondham,

0:30:360:30:38

David is excited with another find.

0:30:380:30:40

Right, let me introduce you to something which I think is

0:30:410:30:45

very interesting.

0:30:450:30:47

-Pole screen.

-Pole screen, yeah. Do you know why they were designed?

0:30:470:30:51

-I've got no idea.

-This is designed for reading or working by the fire.

0:30:510:30:57

So let's say it's wintertime, you're sat in front of the fire,

0:30:570:30:59

you're a lady, you are crocheting, you're making a tapestry,

0:30:590:31:03

the heat of the fire is burning maybe the middle part of your body,

0:31:030:31:06

so you'll adjust the pole screen.

0:31:060:31:08

Maybe it's burning your face,

0:31:080:31:10

-you'll adjust it to remove the heat from your face.

-Oh, wow.

0:31:100:31:13

It's a very clever little contraption.

0:31:130:31:15

And then, in the summer months, when the fire is not in use,

0:31:150:31:18

it would simply sit in front of the fire as a lovely display piece,

0:31:180:31:23

and that's why you would have a lovely piece of artwork

0:31:230:31:27

-effectively in the panel there.

-Excellent.

0:31:270:31:30

So, with the ticket price of 85 for the pole screen and £58 on the

0:31:300:31:35

frame they spotted earlier, it's time to apply their charm.

0:31:350:31:39

Donna! Hello.

0:31:390:31:42

Walk this way. You're doing a good job.

0:31:420:31:45

Right, now, we have been told that you are the money lady of

0:31:470:31:50

this joint, OK?

0:31:500:31:52

Be prepared to be charmed.

0:31:520:31:55

-We are going to do our very best to charm you.

-Right.

-OK.

0:31:550:31:58

-We love the Victorian frame.

-Yeah, lovely.

-We really like that.

-OK.

0:31:580:32:03

-And we like the pole screen.

-Yeah.

0:32:030:32:06

We would like to be able to pick the pair of these up for

0:32:060:32:09

around about 70, 75 quid.

0:32:090:32:11

SHE SIGHS

0:32:110:32:13

Crikey. That is tough.

0:32:130:32:14

Um, the best I can do on the two together...

0:32:140:32:18

..is 85.

0:32:200:32:22

Oh!

0:32:220:32:24

-That is the absolute best.

-Well, I don't think...

0:32:240:32:27

I don't think the lovely Donna would be bluffing that that's best.

0:32:270:32:30

We can... We can just literally stretch to that

0:32:300:32:34

-with what we've got left.

-So, have we done a deal, then?

0:32:340:32:37

-Oh, I think so. Are you happy?

-Yeah.

0:32:370:32:38

-Are you happy, Donna?

-Yeah, I'm happy.

0:32:380:32:40

-We're all happy.

-Thank you very much.

0:32:400:32:41

-Thank you very much.

-Donna, bless you. Thanks very much.

-Thank you.

0:32:410:32:44

-Rick doesn't carry cash.

-No.

-I've been married too many times.

0:32:440:32:48

Donna, you're an angel. Thank you so much.

0:32:480:32:50

-Thank you very much. Thank you.

-Bless you, thanks.

0:32:500:32:52

Sorry for charming you so.

0:32:520:32:54

That is the gilt frame for £35 and the pole screen for £50.

0:32:540:32:58

-Well done, Rick.

-Thank you kindly, sir. A goodly day.

0:32:580:33:02

Well done, David and Rick. That is you all shopped up.

0:33:030:33:06

Back in Norwich, Raj and Ian have been working their way

0:33:090:33:12

-around the two floors of Lucy's Emporium.

-Oh!

0:33:120:33:17

Oh, stand lively, what has Ian spotted?

0:33:170:33:19

-Oh, Lorna Bailey.

-Do you like that?

-I do.

0:33:210:33:25

-That teapot, I think, is absolutely glorious, straightaway.

-I do too.

0:33:250:33:30

I think that Lorna Bailey is really collectible.

0:33:300:33:33

Lorna Bailey's ceramics were produced in limited editions in the

0:33:330:33:37

late '90s, early '00s.

0:33:370:33:39

Though not antique,

0:33:390:33:40

Lorna's been described as the new Clarice Cliff.

0:33:400:33:43

She's actually stopped working now,

0:33:430:33:46

so her pieces will go up in the future.

0:33:460:33:48

If I was going to choose one piece in here, Ian,

0:33:480:33:51

there is only one piece I would choose, and that's the truth,

0:33:510:33:53

and that is the teapot as well.

0:33:530:33:55

-We could put two of them together.

-A pair.

-Yeah, the pair of teapots.

0:33:550:33:59

Let's say, for the two... What's on the other one?

0:33:590:34:02

67, right. We've got 67, 73.

0:34:020:34:05

-Right, if you could...

-140.

0:34:050:34:09

-If you could get those two...

-100? 90?

0:34:090:34:12

-80?

-Come on, come on!

0:34:120:34:14

-70?!

-Yeah!

-What? Both of them for the price of one?

0:34:140:34:18

Good luck with that, then.

0:34:180:34:20

But before the big haggle, there's a chance to split up for one

0:34:200:34:24

last scout about.

0:34:240:34:26

Oh, oh, isn't he beautiful?

0:34:260:34:30

I know he's not old, I know he's not antique,

0:34:300:34:33

but I just love him.

0:34:330:34:35

I wonder what Raj will say.

0:34:350:34:37

I love him. I absolutely love him. Raj!

0:34:370:34:41

-Yeah.

-Where are you?

0:34:410:34:44

I'm over here. I'm over here.

0:34:440:34:46

I was calling you over here to see something else,

0:34:460:34:48

but I just want to see your face when you see this.

0:34:480:34:51

From here, I can see this clown's reduced.

0:34:510:34:54

£109.

0:34:540:34:56

-Raj.

-Oh, my goodness. Have you gone mad?

0:34:560:35:01

I love him! I love him! Gone mad?

0:35:010:35:04

-What's he made of?

-KNOCKING

0:35:060:35:08

-Fibreglass.

-Yeah, it's fibreglass, Ian.

0:35:080:35:11

-I tell you what, if we could get that...

-Yeah. For?

0:35:110:35:14

£40, £50,

0:35:150:35:18

-it would be... It would be a fun item.

-The least we can do...

0:35:180:35:22

-The least we can do after all that is give him a name.

-I think so too.

0:35:220:35:26

-How about...?

-I know what you're going to...

0:35:260:35:30

-Ricky!

-Ricky!

0:35:300:35:31

I can't see the resemblance myself.

0:35:310:35:34

OK, so, you're going to go downstairs with two clowns.

0:35:340:35:38

And I don't know what Mr Wakeman will make of this.

0:35:380:35:41

It's been a long day.

0:35:410:35:42

HE CHUCKLES

0:35:420:35:45

The man in charge of the deals today is Patrick.

0:35:450:35:48

First up, Ricky the clown.

0:35:480:35:50

It's going to have to be very, very cheap.

0:35:510:35:54

I mean, I can see it has been reduced and reduced and reduced.

0:35:540:35:56

-It's got to be a joke.

-Yeah, it's got to be a price that...

0:35:560:35:58

Yeah, I can ring somebody on that.

0:35:580:36:00

It actually belongs to one of my daughters.

0:36:000:36:02

Goody! She'll be on speed dial. This will be quick.

0:36:020:36:06

75 would be the death.

0:36:060:36:08

-Shall we think about it?

-Yep.

0:36:080:36:11

I don't think Ricky's sold. How about the Lorna Bailey teapots?

0:36:110:36:15

As a pair, what's the very best you can do on that?

0:36:150:36:17

Without ringing the dealer, I can only take 10%,

0:36:170:36:20

but I can ring her and get back to you on that one.

0:36:200:36:24

10%.

0:36:240:36:26

-OK.

-That would be lovely if you would.

-Back on the blower, Patrick.

0:36:260:36:30

-I've got Judy on the phone about the teapots at the moment.

-OK.

0:36:300:36:33

-She saying 130, the pair.

-That's just 10%.

0:36:330:36:38

Yeah, that's... No, that's way too high.

0:36:380:36:42

-Would you have a word with her?

-I certainly would.

-Yeah?

0:36:420:36:44

-I'll put you on the phone to him.

-Hello, Judy.

0:36:440:36:47

Hello, this is Raj here. I've got Ian as well with me.

0:36:480:36:52

We do like your teapots, but we'd offer you 80 for them.

0:36:520:36:56

'I can't go any lower, that's what I paid on them...'

0:36:560:37:00

How about we go to 85?

0:37:010:37:05

She's saying 90.

0:37:050:37:08

-90.

-90 it is.

0:37:080:37:10

Raj seals the deal. Next up, the Hornby train set.

0:37:100:37:14

Ian, your turn.

0:37:140:37:16

The next thing we do need to know is... Because there's no price on...

0:37:160:37:21

-No, it is mine, that.

-Oh, it's yours?

0:37:210:37:23

So you don't want to sell it, then?

0:37:230:37:24

Well, I will sell it at a price, but it's going to be about...

0:37:240:37:28

Very best, 150.

0:37:300:37:31

I'm not even going to look at you when I say this. How about 75 cash?

0:37:310:37:35

I can't do that. I would be losing on it.

0:37:350:37:38

-£80.

-£80.

0:37:380:37:40

-£80, we've got a deal.

-We've got a deal.

-Wow.

-Ricky, I'm sorry.

0:37:400:37:44

-We're going to leave Ricky.

-Yeah, leaving Ricky.

0:37:440:37:47

That's it, that's all right.

0:37:470:37:49

Brilliant. We got there.

0:37:490:37:50

-That's wonderful.

-There you go.

0:37:500:37:52

-Oh, Patrick, thank you. Thank you so much.

-Well done, Ian.

0:37:520:37:55

Well done indeed.

0:37:550:37:56

That's the Lorna Bailey teapots for £90 and the Hornby train set in

0:37:560:38:01

an original box for 80.

0:38:010:38:02

180. You'll need £10 change.

0:38:020:38:05

If you don't mind.

0:38:050:38:06

-Yes! Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

0:38:070:38:11

-Thank you very much indeed.

-Well done, chaps.

0:38:110:38:13

-Four down, one to go.

-Absolutely.

0:38:150:38:16

-I'm sorry we had to leave Ricky behind.

-Be careful with those!

0:38:160:38:20

Shopping complete, David and Rick

0:38:240:38:26

are headed to the fine city

0:38:260:38:28

of Norwich to uncover

0:38:280:38:29

some incredible history hidden in

0:38:290:38:31

the cathedral, and it seems

0:38:310:38:33

Rick's a familiar face around here.

0:38:330:38:35

-You know this place pretty well.

-I know this place very, very well.

0:38:350:38:38

I've done a couple of concerts here with choirs and opera singers.

0:38:380:38:41

It's beautiful.

0:38:410:38:43

David and Rick are here to uncover a hidden heritage that offers

0:38:430:38:47

a fascinating glimpse into Norwich's history. Worshipers left

0:38:470:38:51

their mark here, quite literally, 500 years ago.

0:38:510:38:55

Archaeologist Matthew Champion is part of

0:38:550:38:58

a team uncovering Norfork's medieval graffiti.

0:38:580:39:02

We've got everything from medieval ship graffiti, we've got prayers

0:39:020:39:06

on the walls, we've got witch marks, we've got text, faces, hands,

0:39:060:39:11

the lot, just about anything you can possibly think of.

0:39:110:39:14

Amongst all this graffiti, apparently,

0:39:140:39:16

you've got musical graffiti, which I never ever knew existed anywhere.

0:39:160:39:20

We do indeed. It is extremely rare.

0:39:200:39:23

Musical graffiti is one of the rarest types of graffiti you can

0:39:230:39:26

come cross anywhere in the country - there are only about five or six

0:39:260:39:30

really good inscriptions, and one of them is here in Norwich Cathedral.

0:39:300:39:33

-Shall we go and add some, Rick?

-That's a very good idea.

0:39:330:39:35

I'm sure Matt won't mind.

0:39:350:39:37

I'll do a heart with "I love David" in the middle of it,

0:39:370:39:40

that would be nice.

0:39:400:39:41

Ha-ha-ha!

0:39:410:39:43

The graffiti wasn't done under the cover of darkness

0:39:430:39:46

by 16th-century rebellious youths.

0:39:460:39:48

Oh, no, worshipers sanctioned

0:39:480:39:50

by the church left their mark to educate others.

0:39:500:39:54

There are over 5,000 graffiti markings in Norwich Cathedral,

0:39:540:39:58

all almost invisible to the naked eye.

0:39:580:40:02

Fortunately, Matthew knows where to look.

0:40:020:40:04

Most of the time you can walk past it and you just don't realise

0:40:040:40:08

-it's there.

-No, you wouldn't.

-No.

0:40:080:40:10

So what we do, quite simply, is we use one of these -

0:40:100:40:13

a very powerful light.

0:40:130:40:14

And what you do is you shine it obliquely right across the surface.

0:40:140:40:18

-Oh, my goodness me!

-Oh, heaven!

-It looks like a different wall.

0:40:180:40:22

Recent archaeological discoveries hope to shine new light on

0:40:220:40:25

the meanings and motivation behind Norfolk's medieval graffiti.

0:40:250:40:30

There are 650 medieval churches in the county with secretive

0:40:300:40:34

scrolling scratched onto the surfaces of most of them.

0:40:340:40:37

-So as...

-Oh, wow.

0:40:370:40:39

As I move that light around, you can see it completely changes.

0:40:390:40:43

-Oh, look, down on the bottom, there's...

-Date, 1650.

0:40:430:40:47

Lost for hundreds of years,

0:40:470:40:49

experts are only now starting to work out what they mean.

0:40:490:40:52

There's 17th-century graffiti in there.

0:40:520:40:54

There is 18th-century graffiti.

0:40:540:40:56

What I wanted to show you, Rick, is down here.

0:40:560:41:00

Oh, the music, yeah.

0:41:000:41:01

And what we've got here are two lines of musical notation,

0:41:010:41:06

and you'll note they're on a four-line stave

0:41:060:41:08

rather than a modern five-line stave.

0:41:080:41:10

And you can just see across here, you've got the notes

0:41:100:41:13

all the way across.

0:41:130:41:15

It's believed this music graffiti dates from around 1550 and is

0:41:150:41:19

likely to be a medieval chant.

0:41:190:41:21

You can understand why people would leave a mark - their name, you know,

0:41:210:41:25

a date - but why on earth

0:41:250:41:27

would somebody leave that as a mark here?

0:41:270:41:30

We're assuming that this is someone either trying to work out

0:41:300:41:33

a piece of music or they're teaching someone else a piece of music.

0:41:330:41:36

I've written music down on all sorts of things. When an idea comes

0:41:360:41:40

to you... I've done it on napkins,

0:41:400:41:42

I've done it on lavatory paper.

0:41:420:41:44

If I've got... And suddenly, "Oh!"

0:41:440:41:48

You'll likely rush it and you'll write it down and you won't do

0:41:480:41:51

a lot, but that is enough

0:41:510:41:52

for when you come to write and do it properly.

0:41:520:41:55

-It's almost a memoir.

-Absolutely.

0:41:550:41:57

Sounds plausible.

0:41:570:41:59

But can Rick make sense of it?

0:41:590:42:02

It's not difficult to know when notation goes up,

0:42:020:42:04

how much it goes up by and how much it comes down by.

0:42:040:42:07

You know what I'm going to ask you to do.

0:42:070:42:09

I haven't got anything here to play...

0:42:090:42:12

-Surely we can find an organ, can't we?

-I'm sure we could.

0:42:120:42:15

-Give it a go?

-Well, I can have a go.

-Let's hear it.

0:42:150:42:17

There'll be a lot of musical medieval experts who

0:42:170:42:19

-will go, "That's wrong!" But I don't care.

-Who cares! Come on.

0:42:190:42:23

The cathedral organ beckons.

0:42:250:42:27

If I had to try and translate it in Wakeman terms, shall we say,

0:42:270:42:33

if I wanted to see if I could get a choir to sing this,

0:42:330:42:36

they did lots of fifths and fourths,

0:42:360:42:38

they didn't have the modern sounding...

0:42:380:42:40

HE PLAYS A CHORD

0:42:400:42:42

..nice, bright thirds and things we have now, and triads,

0:42:420:42:45

so if you took the notes and went...

0:42:450:42:48

And then came down...

0:42:530:42:55

Although beautiful, medieval chants were very simple.

0:43:000:43:03

The graffiti in the cathedral and the churches is of enormous

0:43:050:43:10

academic and archaeological interest,

0:43:100:43:12

but what's more exciting is the physical connection to the past.

0:43:120:43:15

Music played an important part in medieval worship.

0:43:170:43:20

It's no coincidence that many choir schools can still be found in

0:43:200:43:24

major cathedrals where musical graffiti is being uncovered today.

0:43:240:43:28

-ORGAN PLAYS

-He's not bad, is he?

-He's all right.

0:43:280:43:31

Still in Norwich, it's time to visit Aladdin's Cave Antiques Centre,

0:43:370:43:41

with 16,000 square feet of collectibles.

0:43:410:43:44

No magic genie here, though, just Raj and Ian.

0:43:440:43:47

OK. Shall we put them down here?

0:43:470:43:48

-Yeah, stick them down here, shall we?

-Somebody might buy them.

0:43:480:43:51

Sales don't count unless they are at auction, Ian.

0:43:510:43:54

They're mine, they're mine! OK.

0:43:540:43:57

Better get browsing.

0:43:570:43:58

So much to look at.

0:44:030:44:04

How about a cabinet full of Oriental goodies?

0:44:050:44:07

Chinese at the moment is doing really well.

0:44:090:44:12

-That Chinese carved figure's quite nice.

-I think I know him.

0:44:120:44:16

Will he give you a good profit, though, Ian?

0:44:160:44:19

But what else is there here?

0:44:190:44:21

Look to your left.

0:44:210:44:22

-Oh, yes.

-What were we doing yesterday?

-Yes.

0:44:230:44:26

-The miniature... The model soldiers, I should say.

-Wow.

0:44:260:44:29

Yeah, look at those. The work that has gone into those.

0:44:290:44:31

Bonsai village people.

0:44:310:44:34

They need some prices, so it's time meet the owner, Graham.

0:44:340:44:37

Hi, Graham.

0:44:370:44:38

-Nice to meet you. How are you doing?

-Nice to meet you.

0:44:380:44:41

There's a few pieces I wouldn't mind...

0:44:410:44:42

Do you mind, if we can get them out and put them on the counter here?

0:44:420:44:45

-We can have a look.

-The lighting is a bit better here and I can have

0:44:450:44:48

-a really good look. Is that OK?

-Mm-hm, no problem.

-Brilliant.

0:44:480:44:50

Raj and Ian have their eyes on the model bonsai village people,

0:44:500:44:54

a handsome blue vase,

0:44:540:44:56

Ian's wooden friend and a lovely Chinese 19th-century Canton bowl.

0:44:560:45:01

Graham, we've got four items out here.

0:45:010:45:03

Can you could just give me the prices, first of all,

0:45:030:45:05

-so we can either rule them out or rule them in?

-OK.

0:45:050:45:08

-19th century.

-Yeah.

-Late 19th century.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Chinese.

-Yeah.

0:45:090:45:13

150.

0:45:130:45:15

-OK.

-Japanese, circa 1880.

0:45:150:45:19

Carved boxwood. 180.

0:45:190:45:23

-My favourite piece.

-Canton, family of royals.

-It's amazing.

0:45:240:45:28

1860. 1880.

0:45:280:45:31

That's going to be 250.

0:45:330:45:34

And the price on the village people?

0:45:340:45:36

It's 120 the set.

0:45:360:45:38

Decisions, decisions.

0:45:390:45:41

They've got £104 left.

0:45:410:45:43

I think we're going to have to eliminate that.

0:45:430:45:45

We just don't have the money for that and I don't want to,

0:45:450:45:47

you know, make such a low offer.

0:45:470:45:49

I love it.

0:45:490:45:50

How about the Japanese bloke?

0:45:500:45:53

The damage doesn't matter so much.

0:45:530:45:56

On carvings, it's not... I mean, this isn't quite so serious.

0:45:560:45:59

Ticketed at 180, Graham, what's your best?

0:45:590:46:03

100.

0:46:030:46:04

THEY GASP Time to make a decision.

0:46:040:46:07

-Shall we close our eyes and point at the one we want?

-OK, let's do it.

0:46:070:46:10

OK, on the count of three. One, two, three.

0:46:100:46:13

OK!

0:46:150:46:17

Professional as ever. But is there any wiggle room on the 100?

0:46:170:46:22

-Could we say 70, cash?

-You're getting close now.

-70 cash?

-75.

0:46:220:46:27

75 cash? I'm going to get Ian to shake your hand.

0:46:270:46:30

Wow. Thank you.

0:46:300:46:32

-Lovely.

-Thank you very much indeed, lovely. Gorgeous.

0:46:320:46:35

-We've got enough left.

-He carries the money.

0:46:350:46:39

Oh, he's letting me look at the money this time.

0:46:390:46:41

-Yes.

-We're running out.

0:46:410:46:44

Thank you so much. And we have change.

0:46:440:46:46

-And five is 80.

-Thank you.

-Graham, thank you ever so much.

-Thank you.

0:46:480:46:53

-Brilliant, we are very pleased with that. All the best to you.

-Bye now.

0:46:530:46:57

Good stuff, but a bag might help.

0:46:570:46:59

-Ian.

-Yes.

-Would you mind carrying those?

-All right.

0:46:590:47:01

-I've run out of hands.

-I shall drop these, not you.

0:47:010:47:04

# Hey, diddle-dee... #

0:47:060:47:08

Not a bad lot.

0:47:080:47:10

All shopped up, then, it's time to have a gander at one another's buys.

0:47:120:47:16

Truth be known, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

0:47:160:47:19

-Well, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

-I didn't, though.

0:47:190:47:22

It's been awful for me.

0:47:220:47:24

We went in for things that can either go incredibly well or

0:47:240:47:27

-incredibly badly.

-We have just gone for class, haven't we?

0:47:270:47:30

I think we have, to be honest.

0:47:300:47:32

Just amazing for a couple of people who don't have any.

0:47:320:47:34

THEY LAUGH

0:47:340:47:36

Time for the unveiling of Ian and Raj's goodies.

0:47:360:47:39

I have to tell you,

0:47:390:47:40

I'm not keen on this stuff, I never have been, but those I love.

0:47:400:47:44

I love the train set and the canes are fun.

0:47:440:47:46

Those two canes, which are silver-collared and silver-ended,

0:47:460:47:50

cost us £50.

0:47:500:47:52

I know that canes are very collectible. People do those.

0:47:520:47:54

The Lorna Bailey? The two teapots cost us 90, £90.

0:47:540:47:59

Overall, how much did you spend?

0:47:590:48:01

335.

0:48:010:48:03

-335. Oh, big spend, big spend.

-Three, two, one...

0:48:030:48:07

And now for David and Rick's.

0:48:070:48:08

RAJ: Mm! I like...

0:48:080:48:11

-I personally love the Ironstone.

-The Ironstone is gorgeous.

0:48:110:48:15

-Yeah, I like those.

-They are lovely. And they are a pair.

0:48:150:48:18

-Pair, yeah, absolutely.

-They are nice.

-Got a nice Victorian mirror.

0:48:180:48:21

-Love the frame.

-Nice Victorian mirror.

0:48:210:48:23

-Well, you're right...

-Original glass?

-No, no. Not at all.

0:48:230:48:26

No, the frame is. The frame is.

0:48:260:48:29

I think we've agreed that our favourite piece -

0:48:290:48:31

both of us absolutely adore this - our favourite item,

0:48:310:48:35

is the Art Deco walnut display cabinet.

0:48:350:48:38

Well, that is what is really in vogue at the moment. What did

0:48:380:48:40

-you pay for it?

-We paid the money.

0:48:400:48:42

-For that...

-How much did you pay?

-For that and the plates was 225.

0:48:420:48:48

-Yeah. So how much was your total spend?

-£370.

0:48:480:48:51

-Or thereabouts.

-That's not a bad array of items for £370.

0:48:510:48:56

For what it's worth, I would, at an auction,

0:48:560:48:58

-I'd bid on those all day. I love those.

-All right, guys...

0:48:580:49:02

-Talking of auction, we've got to get there. So shall we do it?

-Yep.

0:49:020:49:05

-Very best of luck, you guys.

-I think you have done brilliant, mate.

0:49:050:49:08

-Great.

-Fantastic.

0:49:080:49:10

-Well done, Raj.

-Fantastic.

0:49:100:49:11

Oh, terribly polite, but what do they really think?

0:49:110:49:15

If you had the opportunity to swap completely,

0:49:160:49:19

all of theirs for all of yours, what would you do?

0:49:190:49:23

-I would keep what we've got.

-Fantastic. So would I.

0:49:230:49:26

Like you, I think the one that could go silly is the Art Deco.

0:49:260:49:31

-Yeah.

-The cabinet.

-The display cabinet.

0:49:310:49:33

Shall we go and break a few of the...? The shelves?

0:49:330:49:35

Maybe we need to take the keys away with us when we go.

0:49:350:49:38

I love the little teapots, I think they're just absolutely gorgeous.

0:49:380:49:42

-Yeah, they are.

-I hope we both do well cos I think it is

0:49:420:49:44

-a lovely collection of stuff.

-It is.

0:49:440:49:46

There is no doubt about it, it's a great collection, and,

0:49:460:49:48

hey-ho, we'll see what happens.

0:49:480:49:50

Off to the auction in Nottingham,

0:49:530:49:54

and Ian and Rick's competitive streak is showing.

0:49:540:49:58

-I have actually brought something with me in case you win.

-Oh, no.

0:49:580:50:02

I have. Oh, there it is. I bought that.

0:50:020:50:06

-Do you know what that is?

-No.

0:50:060:50:08

It's my Christmas list,

0:50:080:50:09

and you're going to be crossed off it if you win.

0:50:090:50:12

No-one likes a bad loser.

0:50:120:50:13

We are at Mellors & Kirk Auctioneers this morning.

0:50:150:50:18

-Here they are.

-There they come.

0:50:180:50:20

Here they are.

0:50:200:50:21

-They look happy now.

-THEY LAUGH

0:50:210:50:24

How long for?

0:50:240:50:25

Go and get yours, I'll get mine.

0:50:250:50:27

-Good morning, chaps.

-How do you get out of this?

0:50:270:50:30

Let me... Shall I help, Ian?

0:50:300:50:32

He can't get out.

0:50:320:50:33

-Poor old soul.

-You two look happy at the moment.

0:50:330:50:36

Welcome.

0:50:360:50:38

Yeah, well, our confidence has waned on the journey. How are you, David?

0:50:380:50:43

Very well. Great to see you.

0:50:430:50:45

-I didn't have any confidence.

-Oh, well, thank you, Ian(!)

0:50:450:50:48

Ian and I have decided that if we make a loss, it's your fault.

0:50:480:50:52

-And if we make a profit?

-It's our fault.

0:50:530:50:56

-Excellent. Shall we go in?

-Yeah, brilliant.

-Oh, Lord.

0:50:560:50:59

Rick and David were our big spenders with £360 spent on five lots

0:51:020:51:07

while Raj and Ian parted with £335 also on five lots.

0:51:070:51:13

I wonder what gavel-basher Nigel Kirk makes of our

0:51:130:51:17

celebrities' little collections?

0:51:170:51:19

I would've said my favourite item was the Mouseman ashtray,

0:51:190:51:22

but anything to do with smoking is really not especially sought,

0:51:220:51:27

so I think although it is fine workmanship,

0:51:270:51:29

I would probably plump for the walnut china cabinet.

0:51:290:51:32

Take your seats, it's about to begin.

0:51:320:51:34

-Welcome.

-Thank you.

0:51:340:51:37

First up, Rick's Royal Doulton vases.

0:51:390:51:41

20. 20, I'm bid.

0:51:420:51:44

-And five. 30.

-Go on.

0:51:440:51:45

30, may I say? £25.

0:51:450:51:48

30. 35?

0:51:480:51:50

-On my left...

-Oh, no!

0:51:500:51:51

-..at £35. All done?

-Ouch!

0:51:510:51:55

But never mind, Rick, you've got four more lots still to come.

0:51:550:51:59

HE WHIMPERS

0:51:590:52:03

Give the man a tissue.

0:52:030:52:04

Next, Ian's two walking canes with silver collars.

0:52:060:52:09

£20. 25. 30?

0:52:090:52:11

Yeah, you've got it.

0:52:110:52:13

40. 40.

0:52:130:52:14

-45.

-Creeping up.

-50, madam.

0:52:140:52:17

£50. 60 for them.

0:52:170:52:19

-£50, the lady's bid. I shall sell at £50.

-No!

0:52:190:52:23

-RICK:

-More!

-Bad luck.

0:52:230:52:25

That's a loss apiece, but there is still plenty of time to make it up.

0:52:250:52:29

Could have been worse. It could have been a lot worse.

0:52:290:52:31

It could have been worse, Ian.

0:52:310:52:33

Don't worry, Ian. Don't worry!

0:52:330:52:35

It can only get better.

0:52:350:52:36

Onwards and upwards.

0:52:380:52:39

Hopefully, Rick's pair of Japanese style meat dishes will serve

0:52:390:52:43

up a good return.

0:52:430:52:44

£20, I'm bid. Five. 30. Five. 40. Five. Five.

0:52:440:52:48

50. 50? £50.

0:52:480:52:51

60. 70. 80. 90.

0:52:510:52:54

£90.

0:52:540:52:55

-RICK:

-Come on!

0:52:550:52:56

All done at £90 only. 100, I am bid.

0:52:560:52:58

An American bidder online. Selling at £100.

0:52:580:53:02

THEY CHEER

0:53:020:53:04

I can't believe it!

0:53:040:53:06

Believe it! That's the first profit of the day. Well done.

0:53:070:53:11

Checking the pulse here.

0:53:120:53:14

Next, Ian's Mouseman ashtray.

0:53:140:53:17

£40. Five.

0:53:170:53:18

50. 60. 70. 70? 70 now. 80?

0:53:180:53:21

Nope. £70 it is. I shall sell.

0:53:210:53:24

-Go on!

-All done. At £70.

0:53:240:53:27

That's brilliant.

0:53:270:53:29

Yes, it was. Well done, Ian. Puts you and Raj firmly in the lead.

0:53:290:53:33

We are coming back to Nottingham!

0:53:340:53:36

-They were thinking of going home.

-I'm beginning to like Nottingham.

0:53:360:53:39

Yeah.

0:53:390:53:40

Next up, Rick's gilt frame.

0:53:400:53:44

30. 25. 25, I'm bid, thank you. At 25.

0:53:440:53:48

-£30. 35.

-Go on. Yes, yes, yes.

0:53:480:53:52

-45.

-Go on.

0:53:520:53:53

-50.

-Yes.

-At 45 now on my left. £45.

0:53:530:53:58

Well done, Rick.

0:53:580:54:00

Well done, another profit in the old bag.

0:54:000:54:03

-Lucky.

-We're catching you boys up.

0:54:030:54:06

You are indeed. Now, Ian's Hornby train set with its original box.

0:54:070:54:12

£30. Is bid at 30.

0:54:120:54:14

35 for it? £30, the bid. 35. £40 here.

0:54:140:54:19

45. 50.

0:54:190:54:21

60. 70.

0:54:210:54:23

80. Nope. £70.

0:54:230:54:26

Here with me at £70.

0:54:260:54:28

That's a shame. Nice item. Rotten luck.

0:54:300:54:34

THEY GROAN

0:54:340:54:36

-That looked like it was going so well.

-It was going so well.

0:54:360:54:40

Slight loss.

0:54:400:54:41

Next, Rick and David's gamble buy.

0:54:410:54:44

They splashed £155 on this Art Deco cabinet.

0:54:440:54:48

Rick loved it, but will the auction goers of Nottingham?

0:54:480:54:52

£50 for this piece. 50 bid, thank you. At 50. 60 for it?

0:54:520:54:55

-Come on.

-50 only bid. 60. 70. 80.

0:54:550:54:59

90. 100. 110. 120. 130.

0:54:590:55:05

140. 150.

0:55:050:55:07

160. 170.

0:55:070:55:09

180? 170. £170. Fair warning.

0:55:090:55:15

Profit! Well done. Another profit, albeit a small one. They all count.

0:55:160:55:20

Good, that's all right.

0:55:200:55:22

Next, Ian's two Lorna Bailey teapots.

0:55:220:55:25

Antiques of the future they may be, but will they sell today?

0:55:250:55:29

£40 for those.

0:55:290:55:31

40, I'm bid. Thank you. 40. 45 I'll take for them. £40, the bid.

0:55:310:55:36

Five in the room. At 45. 50, do I see? At £45, in the room.

0:55:360:55:41

Selling at £45.

0:55:410:55:43

Some lucky bidders got a bargain today.

0:55:440:55:48

Double oucher, that one.

0:55:480:55:49

No!

0:55:490:55:51

That I don't get. I don't get that. I don't get that.

0:55:510:55:55

Rick's pole screen is next. This could do well.

0:55:550:56:00

£40 for it, please. 40 or 30. 30, I'm bid.

0:56:000:56:03

AT 30. 35 anywhere? Go on, 35.

0:56:030:56:06

40? 40. 45? 45? 45.

0:56:060:56:10

50. 60. 70.

0:56:100:56:12

80. 90.

0:56:120:56:14

-At £90.

-Come on.

0:56:140:56:16

On my right at 90. Selling.

0:56:160:56:18

-100.

-Good!

-110.

-Doubled our money.

0:56:180:56:20

-£100 it is. All done.

-They say brown furniture is on its way back!

0:56:200:56:24

-Yes.

-Well done.

0:56:240:56:27

Well done indeed. Rick and David have doubled their money.

0:56:270:56:30

You've ended on a high.

0:56:300:56:32

Well done, David.

0:56:320:56:34

Next, our teams' last lot - Ian and Raj's Oriental figure.

0:56:360:56:41

-They need a handsome profit to snatch victory.

-£50 for this.

0:56:410:56:45

I have 50. 60 anywhere? At £50.

0:56:450:56:49

60 online. 70. 80. 90. 100. 110.

0:56:490:56:52

120. 130. 140. At 140.

0:56:520:56:57

150 for them? Are you finished?

0:56:570:57:00

Selling. £140.

0:57:000:57:02

Brilliant lot. I told you!

0:57:020:57:04

Great result, but is it enough?

0:57:040:57:07

It's pretty close.

0:57:070:57:08

-But you've got it.

-Look at these two.

0:57:080:57:11

Shall we go for a cup of tea while these two work it out?

0:57:110:57:13

-Come on. See you later, boys.

-15 plus 75 is 90.

0:57:130:57:16

Hey! I've got a calculator. I can save you the trouble.

0:57:160:57:19

Isn't it great? They have just left us!

0:57:210:57:23

They've just left us.

0:57:230:57:24

It was a great auction all round, but there can only be one winner.

0:57:240:57:28

Ian and Raj started out with £400 and made,

0:57:300:57:33

after saleroom fees are deducted,

0:57:330:57:35

a small loss of £27.50,

0:57:350:57:38

leaving them with £372.50.

0:57:380:57:41

While Rick and David started with the same amount,

0:57:430:57:45

after costs are considered, they made

0:57:450:57:47

a profit of £9 exactly,

0:57:470:57:50

so they are victorious today.

0:57:500:57:52

All profits go to Children In Need.

0:57:520:57:55

-Ian, can I just say one thing to you?

-What is it, my friend?

0:57:550:57:59

I won!

0:57:590:58:01

It was very close, Ian. Thank you guys for a fantastic trip.

0:58:020:58:05

-I've got to sit all the way home with him.

-I know. I know.

0:58:050:58:08

It's been an amazing trip.

0:58:080:58:10

Thanks ever so much, champ!

0:58:100:58:11

Well, goodbye. Goodbye. Enjoy the journey, Ian.

0:58:110:58:14

I'd like to say, it's been lovely. I'd like to.

0:58:140:58:17

-Rick!

-Yes? Well done, sir.

0:58:170:58:19

Now, listen, listen, Ian, if you want any sort of advice on your

0:58:190:58:24

shopping things from now on, just let me know and I'll help you out.

0:58:240:58:28

It's not a problem, mate. Excuse me, pay attention.

0:58:280:58:31

Tatty-bye, then!
