0:00:02 > 0:00:03The nation's favourite celebrities...

0:00:03 > 0:00:06- Just want to touch "bass". - ..paired up with an expert...

0:00:06 > 0:00:08- Boo!- What?

0:00:08 > 0:00:09..and a classic car.

0:00:09 > 0:00:10No hands!

0:00:10 > 0:00:13Their mission? To scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15My office, now!

0:00:15 > 0:00:18The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20But it's no easy ride.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22- Ooh!- Who will find a hidden gem?

0:00:22 > 0:00:24I like that.

0:00:24 > 0:00:25Who will take the biggest risk?

0:00:25 > 0:00:27This could end in disaster.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Will anybody follow expert advice?

0:00:30 > 0:00:32- But I love this.- Why would you buy something you're not going to use?

0:00:32 > 0:00:36There will be worthy winners, and valiant losers.

0:00:36 > 0:00:37No, I don't want to shake hands.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Put your pedal to the metal.

0:00:39 > 0:00:40Now, let me get out of first gear.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.

0:00:47 > 0:00:48Yeah!

0:00:50 > 0:00:55Welcome to Northumbria, and a special safari edition entitled...

0:00:55 > 0:00:59Mills and Tompkinson, The Further Adventures Of!

0:00:59 > 0:01:02And our first in the northern hemisphere.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Absolutely.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Today's celebrities are Hayley Mills and Stephen Tompkinson,

0:01:07 > 0:01:11actors who became firm friends on a South African game reserve

0:01:11 > 0:01:14in TV's Wild At Heart.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16We never had much greenery to look at.

0:01:16 > 0:01:21No. A lion or a giraffe isn't going to jump out from behind the hedge.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24No. A different kind of wildlife in the north-east.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Despite the old showbiz adage,

0:01:27 > 0:01:31both are actually very happy working with our four-legged friends.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34Here's Hayley as a child star in the classic Whistle Down The Wind.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38And no animals were harmed in the making of Stephen's big breakthrough,

0:01:38 > 0:01:39Drop The Dead Donkey.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43I watch a lot of these programmes.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Yes.- You know.

0:01:45 > 0:01:46Being a typical actor.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- I do watch them. - Have you antiqued before?

0:01:49 > 0:01:50- Never with...- With experts.

0:01:50 > 0:01:55Experts, people who really, really know what's what.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Well, I don't know about that, Hayley!

0:01:57 > 0:02:01But we do have dealer David Harper and auctioneer Christina Trevanion

0:02:01 > 0:02:03to provide some assistance.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05You know who we've got today.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08- I do.- Two massive names.

0:02:08 > 0:02:09Hayley Mills...

0:02:09 > 0:02:12- She's screen royalty, isn't she? - She truly is.- Yes.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14And I loved her in Wild At Heart.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17And the lovely Stephen Tompkinson.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19- I have so much to thank that man for.- What for?

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Well, he played a character with the surname Trevanion.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Of course.- He made my name pronounceable for the world.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Is that right? OK.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Sounds like our pairings may be sorted out, then.

0:02:30 > 0:02:35- What about the wheels?- E-Type Jag, a V12, primrose yellow, manual.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37OK. Blah-blah-blah...

0:02:37 > 0:02:40- What does that even mean? Is this a Jaguar?- It is.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43And our stars, with £400 each to spend,

0:02:43 > 0:02:46are currently piloting a vintage Rolls-Royce.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51Well, Hayley's dad, Sir John Mills, used to have one, so, why not?

0:02:51 > 0:02:55So, have you got a strategy for the upcoming days?

0:02:55 > 0:03:02My strategy is to find something for 5p that's worth £1,000.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Why didn't think I think of that?

0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Yes.- That's genius, Mills.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Genius.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Yes, she sounds like a natural.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Now, they just need to meet up at some clearing or other,

0:03:12 > 0:03:15and we can get this expedition started.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17They're heading towards us, they're heading towards us!

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Stop the car!

0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Clinch your legs.- It's all right, I do know where the brake is.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23Oh, you do!

0:03:23 > 0:03:28- That helps.- Lovely to meet you. - Hiya.- Lovely to meet you.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31- Great to meet you. - Hello, how are you?

0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Right, OK.- Yes. - Who are we going to go with?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36We think the Trevanion family should stay together.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Ah!- Yes, yeah. - So you got the short straw.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Definitely not, come over here, come over here.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43We're going to nab the Rolls.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46- Are you happy with the Jag? - Yeah.- Let's go.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Today's journey will commence in the town of Powburn,

0:03:54 > 0:03:58and take a tour of the north-east, before heading to West Yorkshire,

0:03:58 > 0:04:00and an Ossett auction.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02But what will they be looking for?

0:04:03 > 0:04:05I love poking around...

0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Oh!- ..people's knick-knacks.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Pardon!- You know!

0:04:09 > 0:04:11- In the nicest possible way. - Please don't poke around!

0:04:11 > 0:04:15I'm fascinated by the journey that an object's taken.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18If only they could talk, if only they could tell you where they've

0:04:18 > 0:04:21- been and what they've done.- Yeah. You want to know the stories,

0:04:21 > 0:04:24and I'm in the business of storytelling.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26This could be fun.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29What would your dream purchase be?

0:04:29 > 0:04:36Maybe an old dress that turned out to belong to Ellen Terry.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Or something that belonged to a great actor, that would be very,

0:04:40 > 0:04:42- very exciting.- You're quite the romantic, aren't you?

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Am I?- I think she is.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Stephen, too, by the sound of it.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49What are you looking for?

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Anything that reminds me of the film world.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56- Of course, yeah.- So, if we come across a Maltese Falcon,

0:04:56 > 0:04:58- I might have that.- Good plan.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02I quite like statues of famous people as well, busts.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05So, we will be poking through the knick-knacks, trying to find a bust?

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Yeah! What's wrong with that?

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Nothing whatsoever. And, right now, on day one,

0:05:10 > 0:05:13things look much more boom than bust.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16So, £400 to spend.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Well, it sounds like a lot.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20It does. Do you feel like you want to blow the lot?

0:05:20 > 0:05:25It wouldn't make much sense to spend everything in one fell swoop because

0:05:25 > 0:05:27then we'd have to go home.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Oh, no, please don't do that.

0:05:30 > 0:05:34So, when you were in Africa, she kind of became your great mate,

0:05:34 > 0:05:36- a really good friend.- Yeah.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39- So, how are we going to beat her?- Oh!

0:05:39 > 0:05:41No, it's how we're going to beat Harper.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43- Oh.- Hayley's too lovely to beat.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46We'll just do one over on David.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Oh, I'd be up for that. I haven't actually really beaten him.- Oh.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Well, one advantage, David, our north-eastern dealer might have,

0:05:53 > 0:05:54is local knowledge.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Are you ready, madam?- Oh, yes, I am.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59I'm really...

0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Get out.- ..whetting my appetite.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04He doesn't live very far from Powburn, after all.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Beryl, hello.- Oh, hello, David, nice to see you again.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Nice to see you again. This is lovely Hayley.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Oh, hello, Hayley.- Hello, Beryl. I've heard a lot about you. It's a great pleasure to meet you.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- I hope it's all good.- No, it's all terrible, if I'm honest!

0:06:16 > 0:06:20- So, this is Hayley's first very first shop on our journey.- Right.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24- So, you don't have much money, then, if it's...?- No, we've got 400 quid,

0:06:24 > 0:06:28- we're loaded.- 400! That's lucky for me.- You never know.

0:06:28 > 0:06:33Beryl seems pleased. But then, who wouldn't love to have a movie legend

0:06:33 > 0:06:35casing their cabinets?

0:06:35 > 0:06:37We've got a little crystal vase there, it'll be Chinese.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41It's very modern but it's painted from the inside out.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Oh, I thought there was something in the vase.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Can we open this?- Yeah.- I've never seen anything like that before.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Have you never seen that before? Well, they paint on the inside.

0:06:48 > 0:06:53Literally, you will have an artist painting with his brush inside the pot.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56- £18.- £18, no money. Where will you find another one?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Well, I've never seen anything like that before in my life.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Well, exactly. And you'll probably never see another one, Hayley.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Never. Oh!- Cheeky.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Is this one of these? - Yeah. Wash your eyes out.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11Ha-ha. You couldn't drink out of it, though, could you?

0:07:11 > 0:07:13We could. Ha-ha.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15A very small tot.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Getting along famously.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21But the other two should have arrived at this nearby shop by now.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Oh, dear.- Ah, poor car.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26CAR SPLUTTERS

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Sounds really sad.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Oh!- Good Lord.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Got a voice of its own.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38It's like watching a really bad actor doing a dying scene, isn't it?

0:07:38 > 0:07:40You are watching a really bad actor.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Welcome to the Road Trip, Stephen.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45- We're going to, what, thumb a lift? - Yeah.- Wait till we see a car.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49I don't think it's far. Maybe ten, 15 miles...

0:07:49 > 0:07:51- How is Hayley?- I think it's silver.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Uh? And it's 48 quid?

0:07:53 > 0:07:54- What?- What does that say?

0:07:54 > 0:07:57It's got all those stamps, there's silver marks on it.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59They are called silver marks.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Yes.- But put a "faux" in front of them.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04Faux silver marks.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Fake silver marks, not real silver marks.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Seriously?- Yes.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Ah. I've been duped.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Sterling performance, though!

0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Now.- A little doll's house.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Now, did you have a doll's house as a child?

0:08:19 > 0:08:25- Yes.- Right.- My doll's house was long and thin.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29- This is a home-made one, isn't it? - Absolutely right.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31This is something made, probably by Dad.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Yes.- For his daughter.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35There doesn't seem to be a price label, though.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39I think the sofa gives us a good idea as to when the house was

0:08:39 > 0:08:42- actually constructed.- Er, 1940?

0:08:42 > 0:08:43'30s, '40s.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Look at the shape of that chair, that rolled arm.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Yes.- Such an Art-Deco-looking chair, isn't it?

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- And there's the occupant. - I just think it charming.- Gorgeous.

0:08:52 > 0:08:56- I just think it's charming.- The only thing is that the lady who owns the

0:08:56 > 0:09:00house, she's got to come out through the front door to go to the

0:09:00 > 0:09:04- dining room.- Ha-ha.- Access issues aside, they do seem keen.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Shall we get the price? - Yeah, let's have a go.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08OK, let's go and see Beryl.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11- OK.- OK. And I'm going to leave all the negotiating to you.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Are you sure?- I'm absolutely sure. - Are you quite sure?- I think he is.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Beryl, we have found something we like.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21- Good.- And we hope we like the price.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23This little doll's house.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Right.- How much do you want for it?

0:09:26 > 0:09:27How about...

0:09:28 > 0:09:32..£20 just for you?

0:09:32 > 0:09:34- £20.- I can't go any lower than that.

0:09:34 > 0:09:35Well, what do you think?

0:09:35 > 0:09:37- What do you think?- Yes.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40- OK. Have we done the deal?- I think so.- We're going to have it, Beryl.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Oh, good. Good for you.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Thank you.- Very good. - Well done.- Thank you, David.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Great start, Hayley. - She's on fire.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Luckily, there's room for a house in the back of their Roller.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Ah, the sumptuous leather seats.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54It's like we're driving in a living room.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56And it's ours.

0:09:56 > 0:09:57Indeed.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59It's been a nice stroll, anyway.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Now, better late than never.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02I'm excited now.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04This looks big. Are you getting excited?

0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Yeah.- Knick-knacks beware.

0:10:06 > 0:10:07Hop, skip and up!

0:10:08 > 0:10:11Because there does seem to be a lot to get excited about.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Getting to handle my first bust.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18Busts aside, what's going to appeal?

0:10:18 > 0:10:20An old discus.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24There's something you don't see every day.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Good paperweight. - Are you a discus player?

0:10:26 > 0:10:28- No.- I mean, that is incredibly weighty, isn't it?

0:10:28 > 0:10:31- It's also nice ornament.- You wouldn't want to stand in its way,

0:10:31 > 0:10:34- though, would you? - A bit of a talking point.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38- Very nice. One to bear in mind. - Yes.- Sure to have a story to tell.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42- What do you think the plan should be?- The plan is there is no plan.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- The plan...- It's going to find us.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Oh, really?- Speak to us.- Oh, OK.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50He looks terribly guilty. Like he's just been caught.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53He seems in his element, doesn't he?

0:10:53 > 0:10:56I don't want to come away empty-handed in here when there's

0:10:56 > 0:10:59such a treasure trove. And I don't think we will.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Well, he is a former TV sleuth.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04These are lovely.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05They are so cool, aren't they?

0:11:05 > 0:11:08- £25.- What, for the lot?

0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Yeah, I'd say so.- Oh, I'd have them.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13I think they're really lovely.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16I love the fact that you've got each one in a different colour.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Yeah.- And, what's important is that every one has got its trio -

0:11:19 > 0:11:20cup, saucer, side plate.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22I like a lot.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25- There's a little spark in your eye just arrived.- I do.

0:11:25 > 0:11:30- I'd have those.- Alfred Meakin. OK, yeah.- Is he good?

0:11:30 > 0:11:31Popular factory, certainly.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35This typical 1950s Meakin production now has retro appeal.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38At auction, I'd put them in at £20 to £30.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Yeah. So, knock that down.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Ask politely.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Right, walk towards...- Now, what's Christina got up her sleeve?

0:11:46 > 0:11:49And tell me whether you love it or hate it, OK?

0:11:49 > 0:11:50OK.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52I quite like it. It's a...

0:11:52 > 0:11:54- It's a film poster.- Yeah.

0:11:54 > 0:11:55It's How The West Was Won...

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- In Italian.- Can you see, there's three different directors,

0:11:59 > 0:12:03and it all told a different story of how the West came into being.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Have you seen this film?- Yeah.

0:12:05 > 0:12:06And you can see all the stars in it.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10Jimmy Stewart, Eli Wallach, John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Lee J Cobb,

0:12:10 > 0:12:12I mean, the list goes on. Henry...

0:12:12 > 0:12:16Harry Morgan was Colonel Potter in MASH.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19You know, silver hair, glasses?

0:12:19 > 0:12:21You have a bit of an encyclopaedic knowledge of this.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25It was shot using a technique where three cameras were used

0:12:25 > 0:12:28rather than one, and they shot simultaneously,

0:12:28 > 0:12:34and then spliced the images together so it could be the biggest cinema

0:12:34 > 0:12:36screen size ever.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Extravaganza.- Cinerama, Stephen.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40- He knows his stuff all right. - It's quite cool, isn't it?

0:12:40 > 0:12:44It is. It would be great for a man cave.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46In Italy. But there's one big problem.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47It says "half poster".

0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Ah, right.- If you look... - There's a cut-off point.

0:12:52 > 0:12:57You're missing... It's got a price tag of £150 on it.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Ooh.- Are we thinking we might spend big?

0:12:59 > 0:13:01It's probably worth a punt.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04I would imagine even at an auction, it would be, like,

0:13:04 > 0:13:06there'd be internet interest.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09I wouldn't want to go over 100 if they do a deal.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Good find?- Very good find.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Well done, you.- Right, shall we keep wandering?

0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Yes.- See if we can find something else?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Happy trails, pardner.

0:13:18 > 0:13:23- Now, what's he got? - Come and have a look at these.- Mm?

0:13:23 > 0:13:27A collection of boxing magazines from 1951.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29- Yeah.- They feature some of...

0:13:30 > 0:13:33..the greats of heavyweight boxing.

0:13:33 > 0:13:34Rocky Marciano.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38My grandad was a fan of the heavyweight fights,

0:13:38 > 0:13:42and I sat on his knee when Muhammed Ali beat George Foreman.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Ah. It's quite gruesome.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, yes. That's Jake LaMotta.

0:13:47 > 0:13:52Jake LaMotta was played by Robert De Niro in the film Raging Bull,

0:13:52 > 0:13:56and he had three encounters with Sugar Ray Robinson.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Yeah. Who won?

0:13:59 > 0:14:02LaMotta won one, and Sugar Ray won two.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Ooh, you'd be a bit cross, wouldn't you?

0:14:04 > 0:14:09Ha. That's Charlie Atlas, he was the first famous body-builder.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12Oh, was he? He's got some very tight pants.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Most people look at his muscles. - Liar! What about the price?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20£65.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Get them down to 50, maybe.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25To a collector and a fan of boxing,

0:14:25 > 0:14:27I think they're dynamite.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29OK. Seconds out, then.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Time for a round with proprietor Mark.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34We've found a couple of items we might be interested in.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35- OK.- Just a couple.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Are we playing hard-to-get?- Yeah.

0:14:38 > 0:14:42- OK.- One of them is your wonderful western film poster.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Yes.- If I could have picked out one thing in this shop that you would

0:14:45 > 0:14:48have gone for, it would not have been that tea set.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51There you go, you see, full of surprises.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Yeah, exactly, I like people that surprise me.- Good.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57- So...- Boo!- What?- Lordy.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59OK, not that kind of surprise.

0:14:59 > 0:15:03The ticket prices on those things add up to £240, by the way.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07Mark, what would your best price be for the three items?

0:15:07 > 0:15:09What about 150 for everything?

0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Pretty good.- Shall we go for it?

0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Yes.- Let's.

0:15:16 > 0:15:21That's the poster for £100, the tea set for 20, and the mags for 30.

0:15:21 > 0:15:22We boxed clever there.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Knockout.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Did it live up to your expectations? - Oh, surpassed them.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Oh! Magic.- So, while they look for a mechanic,

0:15:29 > 0:15:33let's see what our Rolls-Roycers are up to.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Now, Hayley, I think I have a bit of a treat in store for you.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39- Really?- Are you partial to a nice cup of tea?

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Are you offering me a cup of tea?

0:15:41 > 0:15:44- So, you like a good cup of tea? - I love a good cup of tea.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Do you enjoy gardening? - I adore gardening.- OK.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52Those two have just motored to the Northumberland village of Howick...

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Oh, look at that.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57..and Grade II listed Howick Hall.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Imagine arriving here in your carriage.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02You just have. It's renowned for its gardens and arboretum.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04The tea house, too.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07Not surprising, since the hall's most famous former resident

0:16:07 > 0:16:10is the second Earl Grey. I like milk with mine.

0:16:10 > 0:16:14How long has this beautiful place been in your family?

0:16:14 > 0:16:18It's been in the family for a long time, since the early 14th century.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22Hayley and David are here to meet the great man's descendant, Lord Howick.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26So, for a traditional country house English garden,

0:16:26 > 0:16:28it does have a bit of an exotic feel as well.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32Yes, it does, because we've always been interested in plants from

0:16:32 > 0:16:35foreign places. They were helped a lot by the climate up here.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Our winter is relatively mild.

0:16:37 > 0:16:42The second Earl Grey, in the early 19th century,

0:16:42 > 0:16:45was quite a keen gardener, and he loved his trees.

0:16:45 > 0:16:50My grandparents took it over in 1920.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53They were keen, as you can see, on wild flower meadows which, again,

0:16:53 > 0:16:56was fairly advanced in 1920.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58The gardens are beautiful.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02What about your wonderful tea, your famous tea?

0:17:02 > 0:17:07The second Earl somehow or other met a Chinese Mandarin merchant,

0:17:07 > 0:17:10complained about the quality of his tea up here,

0:17:10 > 0:17:15and the Mandarin offered to blend one for him to suit the water,

0:17:15 > 0:17:19and that's how they introduced a lot of bergamot to offset the taste of

0:17:19 > 0:17:21the limestone. And it proved very popular.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25But, sadly, from our point of view, they never registered the trademark.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28Howick and the family have never received a penny of royalties.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30That is incredible.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32- It's tragic.- It is, it is tragic.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34It is. Are you sure it's not too late?!

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Yes, I think so!

0:17:36 > 0:17:39But as well as the tea and the gardens, the second Earl Grey,

0:17:39 > 0:17:43who's buried here at the hall, has yet another claim to fame.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46Because, as Prime Minister in 1832,

0:17:46 > 0:17:49he presided over the passing of the Great Reform Act,

0:17:49 > 0:17:53modernising and democratising our electoral system.

0:17:53 > 0:17:58The great strength that Lord Grey had was that he was trusted by

0:17:58 > 0:18:01all parties. And, in the end, after a hell of a battle,

0:18:01 > 0:18:04he got the Reform Bill of 1832.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07The great act made Parliament more representative,

0:18:07 > 0:18:08doubling the number of voters,

0:18:08 > 0:18:12and giving the new industrial towns more MPs.

0:18:12 > 0:18:17So, what it demonstrated was that you could have constitutional change

0:18:17 > 0:18:19without having a written constitution,

0:18:19 > 0:18:23and without having rebellions and civil wars which all other countries

0:18:23 > 0:18:26in Europe ended up by doing.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29I'll drink to that. With Earl Grey, of course.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Lemon or milk?

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Hayley, I did promise you a very good cup of tea.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37Now, Lord Howick, I really do hope this is a very good cup of tea.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39I would also hope so.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41It would be very disappointing if it's not.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Lovely.- Well, thank you very much. What a lovely visit.- Yes.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46It's very nice of you to come.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Yes. Do you like Earl Grey tea?

0:18:49 > 0:18:52Yes. But, I shouldn't say this,

0:18:52 > 0:18:55but I do in fact drink lapsang souchong.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59How sweet.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03Meanwhile, elsewhere in Northumbria.

0:19:03 > 0:19:04Nee-ow!

0:19:06 > 0:19:09That yellow E-type is enjoying a new lease of life.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13- Very gently.- Very, very gently.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17They're nursing her towards the county town of Alnwick.

0:19:17 > 0:19:21I'm glad we're back off and running because a lot of these lanes

0:19:21 > 0:19:23- are very hard on the feet.- Yes.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Up, up, up to the next shop.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28- OK?- Bring it on.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32That's Alnwick Castle, a popular movie location.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34That's our antique shop.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Cue our popular actor.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Purring like a cheetah.

0:19:38 > 0:19:39Well, he should know.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43Now, that has got David Harper written all over it.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Hello.- Hello. - Hello. I'm Christina.- Eileen.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Hi, Eileen. Nice to meet you.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Hi, Eileen. Stephen.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Pleased to meet you.- I'll lean on the bar and you buy the drinks.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54LAUGHTER

0:19:54 > 0:19:58- Like it!- Eileen's emporium has a lot to like too.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00But they have shopped well today.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01What can you see, what can you see?

0:20:01 > 0:20:04So the pressure is definitely off.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Bring me the antiques.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08- It's a potato peeler...- Ooh!

0:20:10 > 0:20:11..which I've never seen the like of.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15So it would tumble one for you?

0:20:15 > 0:20:18- I guess.- What's in it?

0:20:18 > 0:20:20I don't know. I'm not sure how it opens.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Maybe it had its chips.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24What can Christina come up with?

0:20:24 > 0:20:26- That's nice.- A scent bottle.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28That's exactly what it is, yeah.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30A little bohemian scent bottle.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32Quite underrated, really.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34If you think about the workmanship that has gone into this,

0:20:34 > 0:20:37this is white glass or milk glass overlay.

0:20:37 > 0:20:42And then you would slice back the milk glass to reveal the clear glass

0:20:42 > 0:20:45underneath. Beautiful, isn't it?

0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Bohemian glass is doing quite well at auction at the moment.- Oh, right.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52- What about the stopper? What do you think about the stopper? - Is it the original?

0:20:52 > 0:20:56- What is it made of? - Is that porcelain as well?

0:20:56 > 0:20:58That's porcelain and that's...

0:20:58 > 0:21:00- That's glass.- Think they started life together?

0:21:02 > 0:21:04I don't know!

0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Yes?- No. No.

0:21:07 > 0:21:08So it's not.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10So it's what we call a marriage.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12But not a happy one.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16- What about clothing? - A novelty scarf.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Are you a first aider? - Well, I could be after this!

0:21:20 > 0:21:23- That's all you need to know, isn't it?- That's spectacular.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- What is that?- I guess if you've broken your jaw...

0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Oh, my gosh, yeah. - Yes. And for toothache.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33I think that's quite cool. What's it got on it?

0:21:33 > 0:21:3625 quid - vintage wartime sling bandage.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Just in case you didn't know where the end was...

0:21:38 > 0:21:42- Yeah.- ..it tells you.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44Vitally important.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46For use by Girl Guides.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48He looks a bit like Robbie Williams.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52Eh, well if it ties around there and stops him singing, I'm all for it.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55Take that! But are we moving in one direction?

0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Who writes this stuff?- That's slightly bothering me though.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01You know you said to me this morning you wanted to know its history,

0:22:01 > 0:22:03you want it to be able to tell a tale?

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Without that, we wouldn't know that it was...

0:22:05 > 0:22:08I mean, can you imagine all those little Girl Guides dib-dib-dobbing,

0:22:08 > 0:22:12- dob-dob-dibbing.- Authentication. - Exactly.- Provenance.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14- Exactly!- Key word.

0:22:14 > 0:22:19We could put "Provenance, Rosalyn Tait, 1st Wooler, Girl Guides".

0:22:19 > 0:22:23- Are you haggling on this one? - No.- Have you given up on haggling?

0:22:23 > 0:22:25- I'm not good at it. - All right, leave it me.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Come on, Eileen!

0:22:27 > 0:22:30We think this scarf is quite fun, Eileen.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32Would a tenner be able to secure it for us?

0:22:32 > 0:22:35How much is on it? 25?

0:22:35 > 0:22:37- How much did you say?- £10.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40- All right.- Yes! You're an angel.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Right.- Now you can buy the drinks.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45No, no. Still not.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Still keep trying.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49That's it for today.

0:22:49 > 0:22:54But there's just enough time for a game drive before sundown.

0:22:54 > 0:22:55Nighty-night.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02Next day, Hayley is in the mood for shopping.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06Yesterday just whetted my appetite for today.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Yes, good.- And I've washed my hair.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Oh, well.- And I had a good night's sleep.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13- So I'm ready.- That's good to know,

0:23:13 > 0:23:16because that doll's house barely dented her funds.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18- Have we done the deal?- I think so.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22So she still has £380 available for today's purchases.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27While Stephen was very busy picking up a movie poster,

0:23:27 > 0:23:31some boxing magazines, a sling and some crockery...

0:23:31 > 0:23:33I'd have them.

0:23:33 > 0:23:37..leaving him with £240 and much to reflect on.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40- We got four items yesterday. - Four?- Four.

0:23:40 > 0:23:45- Oh, gosh.- Some of them were in my field of expertise.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Cricket?

0:23:47 > 0:23:50I don't want to give too much away, Hayley.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53As long as we can keep both cars on the road we will be all right.

0:23:53 > 0:23:54What on earth were you doing to it?

0:23:54 > 0:23:58Well, you know, I wasn't really looking at the dial.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Apparently you are supposed to look at the dials while driving.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03She jests. It could happen to anyone.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Nice and easy does it though.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Here we go again.- Good morning.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Day two, round two.- Yeah!

0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Bring it on.- You have the E-type.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Good to see you. - You, too.- Morning, lovely.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17You look fantastic.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Would you like to drive? - Let's do it.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Have a good day.- And you.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Later, they will be going south to that auction in Ossett.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34But our first stop today is in Barnard Castle.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Christina always wants to be the first to get away in that car.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40- She is so competitive. - She is so competitive.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42And you know, on these celebrity road trips,

0:24:42 > 0:24:45Christina and I have done loads and she has never won.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Yes, the other lot do seem a tad more motivated.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55- Shall we do some stretching? - Stretching?

0:24:55 > 0:24:56Limbering up for the day.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59And a left, and a right.

0:24:59 > 0:25:00Better?

0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Yeah.- Was that good? - No, I'm raring to go now!

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Whatever works.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09Now Hayley, you have played a number of characters over the years.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13Which character should you take on right now, today,

0:25:13 > 0:25:16to really nail this competition?

0:25:16 > 0:25:20There were two characters that I played in The Parent Trap.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22The twins were separated at birth.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26One of them went off to Boston and the other one was brought up

0:25:26 > 0:25:29in California. She was much more assertive.

0:25:29 > 0:25:35- Right.- That's who I'll have to embody, is Susan.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37- The Californian.- The Californian.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Or was her name Sharon?

0:25:39 > 0:25:41Yes, it was a bit confusing.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44I'm going to haggle the hell out of it today.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Well, there should be plenty of opportunities, Hayley,

0:25:47 > 0:25:49beginning with Barnard Castle.

0:25:49 > 0:25:50So this is it. This is my home town.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54- Oh.- Yeah, I live a few miles away.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56- It's beautiful.- Yeah. - It's a beautiful old market town.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58It's a lovely old market town.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01- I'm going to show you some beautiful old things.- Yes.- In you go.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Right.- Hello.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Hello.- This is Dave. Hailey, this is Dave.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Hi.- Hello, David.- Good to see you.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10I was going to put some bright trousers on but I changed my mind.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14Yup, I'm sure the goods here can sell themselves, Dave.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Our job is to find something that can...

0:26:16 > 0:26:18- What about her?- Do you like her?

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Well, she's lovely but she's £490.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Oh!- Made by Derby. - I've got very expensive taste.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25You do. You do.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27What about these two little silver owls?

0:26:27 > 0:26:28Look at them, they're gorgeous.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31Now, they're not expensive, they're only £895.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Oh!- Yes.- It's getting worse.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37This corner looks a bit more affordable.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38Clothing. Are you into clothing?

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Er...

0:26:40 > 0:26:42What's that all about?

0:26:42 > 0:26:46Oh, it's a health and safety poster.

0:26:46 > 0:26:47The kind of thing you'd see in a workplace.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49- Oh! Really?- Isn't that fantastic?

0:26:49 > 0:26:51The target for 1968 is...

0:26:51 > 0:26:54- No accidents.- No accidents. - Quite cool.- It is.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Now, hang on then... So, 1968.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Yeah?- What was Hayley Mills doing in 1968?

0:26:59 > 0:27:02Oh, don't ask me! I was living on the Kings Road.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04- How old were you?- 22.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Who did you know? Did you know the Beatles?

0:27:06 > 0:27:07Yeah, I met the Beatles, yes.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Mm.- Come on, we need more information.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12No, it was a great time.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14So this is...

0:27:14 > 0:27:16You don't want to give away any information, do you...

0:27:16 > 0:27:18No! Come on, I think we ought to think about this.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21- They were throwaway items. - Exactly, that's why it's amazing...

0:27:21 > 0:27:23- Exactly.- ..that these two still exist.

0:27:23 > 0:27:24I love them, I absolutely love them.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26I do. I think they are...

0:27:26 > 0:27:29- That's art, now, isn't it? - That's exactly what it is.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31They are valued as a pair, aren't they?

0:27:31 > 0:27:34I think a pair... I mean, are they 28 each or are they 28 for the pair?

0:27:34 > 0:27:38It can't be asking 28 each.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40- No, no.- Are you practising your negotiating?

0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Yes.- But don't try and negotiate with me.

0:27:43 > 0:27:44I'm on your side.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46OK, action, Hayley.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Dave, we're interested in these two posters.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Right, the... Yeah.- First of all,

0:27:51 > 0:27:54we'd like to know what your best price is.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56Right. They are marked at, what, 28 each?

0:27:56 > 0:27:59- For the two.- For the two. - 28 for the two.

0:27:59 > 0:28:00- For the two.- Oh, no, no, each.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02- Each?- 28 each, yeah.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04- Oh! Good luck with this one.- No.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Well, supposing we give you 28 for the two.

0:28:06 > 0:28:10No, I couldn't do that. How about 35 for the two?

0:28:10 > 0:28:12How about 25?

0:28:12 > 0:28:15No, I can't.

0:28:15 > 0:28:16You've gone down!

0:28:16 > 0:28:17Yup, wrong way.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Aren't you supposed to go up?- You're going to get confused any minute.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23Go on, continue, you're doing brilliantly.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26- Best offer, £30. For the two.- Good. - Will we go for it?

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Will we shake on it? £30.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30- Yes. Thank you.- How does that feel? Does that feel good?- Yes.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32- Excellent. Dave, well done. - We'll pay right now.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34- Great.- Off to a brisk start.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36Now, that's familiar.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38- What's that? - It's a discus, isn't it?

0:28:38 > 0:28:40- For throwing.- Discus?

0:28:40 > 0:28:42- That's a cool thing. - I don't think I've ever seen one.

0:28:42 > 0:28:45- Neither have I, actually. - Well, Stephen did, just yesterday.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47Do we want to buy this?

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Well, let's have a look at what the markings say.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51That's Helsinki, Finland, isn't it?

0:28:51 > 0:28:52Do you speak Finnish?

0:28:53 > 0:28:56- I've forgotten all my Finnish. - Really? Have you really?

0:28:56 > 0:28:58Mine's only conversational.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01That says Sparticles Company Ltd.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04- That's in Finnish.- Right, right.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06I think it's SportArticles.

0:29:07 > 0:29:11- Well, that's a wood, isn't it? That's a hardwood.- Can you tell what kind of wood that is?

0:29:11 > 0:29:13I'm going to guess it's an oak.

0:29:13 > 0:29:14Heavy.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16No, don't be throwing it. No, don't!

0:29:16 > 0:29:19What's your instinct as to its date?

0:29:19 > 0:29:22- Oh, my word.- Go with your instinct.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24- 1920.- I would say bang on 1920.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27Really? I think that's fantastic.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30Time for a discus-ion.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32What is the battle plan? What would you like to get it for?

0:29:32 > 0:29:35Well... It's for sale for 40.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37- Yeah.- So...

0:29:37 > 0:29:39- 20?- 20 quid would be good.

0:29:39 > 0:29:41Is that the ultimate aim? Will you pay more?

0:29:43 > 0:29:44Yes.

0:29:45 > 0:29:46How much more?

0:29:48 > 0:29:50- Not a lot.- Not a lot.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52So that's the plan. Dave?

0:29:52 > 0:29:54- Dave!- OK?

0:29:54 > 0:29:57You've got it down for £40, so...

0:29:57 > 0:29:58£40, yes.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01- Yeah.- Shall I sit down?

0:30:01 > 0:30:06- What were you thinking? - Well, cash, no questions asked, £20.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09Oh. Half-price, no, we can't go...

0:30:09 > 0:30:11No, I can't do half.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13How about 30?

0:30:13 > 0:30:1529?

0:30:15 > 0:30:17- Yeah, go on, 29. - Oh, you're a star.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20- You've done it.- Thank you. - And I didn't say a word. Well done, well done.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22- That's wonderful. - Thank you very much.

0:30:22 > 0:30:26£1 change, please. They still haven't spent much.

0:30:26 > 0:30:30Now, this is one room owned by one dealer.

0:30:30 > 0:30:31This is...

0:30:31 > 0:30:34I think I'm right, is the Macmillan tartan...

0:30:34 > 0:30:36- OK.- ..which is my mum's tartan.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38- Oh, how lovely.- Yeah.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41- That suits you, actually. - Look at this.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43That is a Funkmeister, isn't it?

0:30:43 > 0:30:45- A funk what?- 1950s flight case.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47- Oh, OK.- That won't come cheap.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49- Look.- Oh, it's...

0:30:49 > 0:30:51And it smells, it's still got...

0:30:51 > 0:30:55- Oh!- It's old socks and mothballs.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57Mothballs, that's what I get from that.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00- Yes.- That's very, very on-trend.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03- I love it.- I think it's been restored massively.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05- Oh.- No, no, don't go, "Oh".

0:31:05 > 0:31:07- Go, ooh.- Oh!

0:31:07 > 0:31:09- Ooh!- Oh! Good.- No, ooh.

0:31:10 > 0:31:11Because I think that's good.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14I think in ropey condition, who would want it?

0:31:14 > 0:31:17- But it's in absolutely... - Yes.- Ready to go, isn't it?

0:31:17 > 0:31:18Yeah.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23- Would you use that as a sofa, what's wrong with you? - Could it be a coffee table?- Yes!

0:31:23 > 0:31:27It reminds me of the film stars of yore.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29That. It's kind of glamorous.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32It is glamorous, but it's all the money.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34£280 to be precise.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37We'll get a good bit knocked off, won't we?

0:31:37 > 0:31:41Probably not a great deal, you'll be very lucky if you get it down to 200.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44- I would say.- Really?- But really, the quality is fantastic.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47That's basically handmade.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49- Yeah.- To create that new today,

0:31:49 > 0:31:52something like that would be a couple of thousand pounds.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54- There's no doubt about it. - Yes.- Shall we have a go?- Yes.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Come on, be brave.- Good, good, good.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58Remember, think Parent Trap.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00Sharon, not Susan.

0:32:00 > 0:32:01- Dave.- Yes.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Can you give us a really good price on that?

0:32:03 > 0:32:07- What's it got on the ticket price? - 280.- 280, yes.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09I mean, normally you'll do 10%.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12- That's like 250.- How about 220?

0:32:13 > 0:32:16Well... I think that's very decent, don't you?

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Well, I do. Were you thinking any less or not?

0:32:18 > 0:32:20210?

0:32:20 > 0:32:23She's hard, isn't she? She's learned very quick.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26- All right, we'll go 210. - Oh, you're such a hero.

0:32:26 > 0:32:30- You too, Hayley.- I'm sorry, we've got to do a high-five.- Yeah!

0:32:30 > 0:32:34- Don't forget Dave.- Well done you. You are remarkable.- Thank you.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36Now, let's grab the discus. Plus the rest.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39- Right.- Are you all right? Cos these prints are quite heavy.

0:32:39 > 0:32:40Such a gent, eh?

0:32:44 > 0:32:48Elsewhere in County Durham, they're on the subject of the beautiful game.

0:32:48 > 0:32:49Well, Stephen is.

0:32:49 > 0:32:52Yes, lifelong Middlesbrough fan.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54Are they football or...?

0:32:54 > 0:32:58- What do they do?- Yes, Christina, they are football.

0:32:58 > 0:33:02- OK.- Because the family all being from Stockton on Tees,

0:33:02 > 0:33:08Middlesbrough was the nearest town that had a big football side.

0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Are they any good? - To me, yes, of course they are.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13- Do they win much?- They...

0:33:13 > 0:33:14They... They...

0:33:14 > 0:33:16..take you through

0:33:16 > 0:33:19all the emotions.

0:33:19 > 0:33:23I'm very proud to support Middlesbrough Football Club.

0:33:23 > 0:33:24Up the Boro!

0:33:24 > 0:33:28The E-types are on their way to the tale of West Auckland,

0:33:28 > 0:33:32home of the miners' side that won football's first World Cup.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35Yup, you heard right - the World Cup.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38And they did it twice.

0:33:38 > 0:33:39Not many seats, are there?

0:33:39 > 0:33:41No. You stand.

0:33:41 > 0:33:45- Stand?!- That's why they're called stands.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48- Oh, OK.- Not called "sits".

0:33:49 > 0:33:53Stephen and Christina are here to learn about the men

0:33:53 > 0:33:57who took the trophy in Turin from chairman Jim Palfreyman.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00Hello, Mr Chairman. Stephen. Hiya, Jim.

0:34:00 > 0:34:03- Hi, Jim, Christina.- Hiya, Christina. Would you like to come down?

0:34:03 > 0:34:07- Absolutely.- Jim, West Auckland have one of the most fascinating

0:34:07 > 0:34:11histories in all of world football. How did that come about?

0:34:11 > 0:34:15Thomas Lipton, the entrepreneur, the tea man, he liked football.

0:34:15 > 0:34:19In 1909, he wanted to have a football competition involving teams

0:34:19 > 0:34:21from various countries.

0:34:21 > 0:34:25And he wanted a team from England to represent England but the FA were

0:34:25 > 0:34:29not interested at all because it wasn't an official cup

0:34:29 > 0:34:34and there's a big mystery as to why West Auckland got chosen.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37There is a rumour that we got mistaken with Woolwich Arsenal.

0:34:37 > 0:34:38- Because of the initials?- Yeah.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41But there is a big mystery surrounding why West Auckland.

0:34:41 > 0:34:45So they were chosen to represent England?

0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Mm-hm.- The other sides were all professional?

0:34:48 > 0:34:50The other sides were all professional, you've got Stuttgart

0:34:50 > 0:34:53from Germany, you've got Winterhausen from Switzerland.

0:34:53 > 0:34:57- It must've been terrifying.- I think it was the miners' spirit that it

0:34:57 > 0:35:00- was just an adventure.- Did Thomas Lipton fund them to go over?

0:35:00 > 0:35:03He didn't. He didn't, no, they...

0:35:03 > 0:35:07The players that were going and the village as a whole just sold

0:35:07 > 0:35:10anything valuable - furniture, jewellery, to gather the money

0:35:10 > 0:35:14together to pay for the fare to get them across there.

0:35:14 > 0:35:17So this little team, the fact that they even got to the competition

0:35:17 > 0:35:18is quite amazing, isn't it?

0:35:18 > 0:35:24It is and the fact that they won the competition with no goals being

0:35:24 > 0:35:29scored against, they beat Stuttgart 2-0 and then they beat Winterhausen,

0:35:29 > 0:35:32which were the Swiss champions, 2-0 in the final to win the cup.

0:35:32 > 0:35:36And then two years later they won the cup again but they beat

0:35:36 > 0:35:38the mighty Juventus 6-1.

0:35:38 > 0:35:396-1?!

0:35:39 > 0:35:44After that triumph, West Auckland were allowed to keep Lipton's cup.

0:35:44 > 0:35:45It's such a great story, isn't it?

0:35:45 > 0:35:49- Uh-huh.- This little team from the middle of nowhere went out and won.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52This was really the first World Cup, wasn't it?

0:35:52 > 0:35:54- Mm-hm.- But it's not the World Cup that we know it as now.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57It's not. That started in 1930.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59And it's every four years since then.

0:35:59 > 0:36:00These were sort of club sides, really.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03- They were. - Rather than national sides.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05This is a replica trophy.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07It is. The original,

0:36:07 > 0:36:11that's stood for many years in the local pub and was then put into the

0:36:11 > 0:36:16working men's club and unfortunately it got stolen in 1994.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18Oh, gosh, quite recently, really.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22So from the insurance and pictures we had this one made.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25Gosh, well done you. I mean, that is beautiful.

0:36:25 > 0:36:27That, however, is the real thing.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29- Can I pick the medal up? - Would you like to try it on?

0:36:29 > 0:36:32Ah! Would I ever?!

0:36:32 > 0:36:34A World Cup winner's medal.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37It's beautiful. Would you like me to crown you?

0:36:37 > 0:36:39- Oh, please. - Are you ready?- Yeah.- Ready?

0:36:39 > 0:36:42Stephen Tompkinson, World Cup winner.

0:36:42 > 0:36:45Right, I'm out of here.

0:36:45 > 0:36:50So, 57 years before Bobby Moore got his hands on the second trophy,

0:36:50 > 0:36:51West Auckland did it first.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59Meanwhile, what news of our other actor and expert pairing?

0:36:59 > 0:37:03Dad, Sir John Mills, I mean, that is quite a beginning.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05Do you think you were destined to be an actor?

0:37:05 > 0:37:10Probably. I used to go to the studios with my dad when I was little.

0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Yeah.- And so then when it was me in front of the camera,

0:37:14 > 0:37:16I just loved it.

0:37:16 > 0:37:21It's getting into another persona, another life.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24And that's what's fascinating about antiques -

0:37:24 > 0:37:30you pick up an object and you reveal this object's other life.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34There is not a single boring thing in an antiques shop when I'm with you.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36Oh, you're very sweet.

0:37:36 > 0:37:37Still hitting it off, then,

0:37:37 > 0:37:40and en route to the Tees Valley and Darlington,

0:37:40 > 0:37:44where in 1825, between here and Stephen's hometown

0:37:44 > 0:37:46of Stockton on Tees,

0:37:46 > 0:37:50they launched the world's first steam-powered public railway.

0:37:50 > 0:37:54This shop is a former railway workers' cottage,

0:37:54 > 0:37:56with coal-themed artwork by the shopkeeper.

0:37:58 > 0:37:59Oh, right, OK.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02Amazing. Interesting paintings.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05- There is.- Was he a miner? He's been down the pit.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08- He's certainly been down the pit, hasn't he?- He certainly has.

0:38:08 > 0:38:11We've got paintings, we've got a bicycle.

0:38:11 > 0:38:13These beer bottles are interesting.

0:38:13 > 0:38:17Quite like them. I started my interest in antiques by collecting

0:38:17 > 0:38:19things in old bottle dumps.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21If you could find a Victorian bottle dump,

0:38:21 > 0:38:26you could root around and under about four inches of soil

0:38:26 > 0:38:29you would find wonderful 18th and 19th-century bottles...

0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Oh, yes.- ..that were thrown away 100 years ago.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34These are the kind of things that take me back, little medicine bottles.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36Fantastic. Look at the iridescence there.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38Almost like it's just washed in petrol.

0:38:38 > 0:38:41- That's rather beautiful, that one. - This one?- Yeah.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43- Look at that.- Yeah.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45- Beautiful shape.- There's something in there that's sort of...

0:38:45 > 0:38:48Do you want to have a drink of it?

0:38:48 > 0:38:49You never know what might happen.

0:38:49 > 0:38:52What's it smell of?

0:38:52 > 0:38:53- Nothing.- Nothing.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55- Nothing.- Is that an old...?

0:38:55 > 0:38:59- Oh, no, that's Bovril. - Oh, isn't that charming?

0:38:59 > 0:39:01Yes. Even that, actually, now...

0:39:01 > 0:39:03Yeah. It's a classic thing, isn't it?

0:39:03 > 0:39:06Is a bit of a rarity, isn't it?

0:39:06 > 0:39:10What would a collection of bottles like this make at an auction?

0:39:10 > 0:39:14In an auction, you know, I think £10 or £20, maybe, if you were lucky.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17Because they are the kind of things that people like to find, I think,

0:39:17 > 0:39:19more than like to buy.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22I think we could use that as a backup. We need to buy something.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25- We could put a bit of a fun bottle lot in.- Yeah.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28Now, this could be interesting.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31- Thank you.- Luckily, there's a choice of floors, though.

0:39:31 > 0:39:34There is an awful lot of doorknobs.

0:39:34 > 0:39:37I don't think I've ever seen so many doorknobs in one place.

0:39:37 > 0:39:38Still, when in Rome.

0:39:38 > 0:39:40- Hello!- Hey, guys.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42- How are you?- Very well.

0:39:42 > 0:39:43Buying knobs?

0:39:44 > 0:39:45Just perusing.

0:39:47 > 0:39:48Have you had a busy day?

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Oh, yes, we've had a very busy day, have you?

0:39:50 > 0:39:52Yes.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55- Yeah.- Have you been buying lots of things? Cos you've got quite a lot of work to do.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58Hey, listen, Hayley has been on fire.

0:39:58 > 0:40:01On fire. Have you ruined any cars today, you two?

0:40:01 > 0:40:02- Not today.- Really?

0:40:02 > 0:40:05- We have tried.- Well, you continue looking at your knobs and we'll have

0:40:05 > 0:40:08- a look down here.- All right then. That's fine.- OK.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11Now, time to have a word about those bottles with proprietor Tony.

0:40:11 > 0:40:15- Toto?- What sort of money for the lot?

0:40:15 > 0:40:19Every last thing in the box of bottles upstairs.

0:40:19 > 0:40:20It's got to be £80.

0:40:20 > 0:40:25- Mm.- There's some very, very unusual bottles that will not have been made

0:40:25 > 0:40:28after the Second World War and, indeed,

0:40:28 > 0:40:30even after the First World War.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33I thought 20 or 30 quid for the box, didn't I?

0:40:33 > 0:40:37- In auction.- David, I've got to say, whenever I see you,

0:40:37 > 0:40:39the word constriction comes to mind.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41Oh, really? Is that a medical condition?

0:40:41 > 0:40:43Yes. Particularly in this area.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46One final offer - £50.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48If you work out the number of bottles,

0:40:48 > 0:40:51it probably works out at £1 each.

0:40:51 > 0:40:52What are your thoughts?

0:40:52 > 0:40:56- Well, you never know. - You never know.- You never know.

0:40:56 > 0:40:57Do you like the bottles?

0:40:57 > 0:41:01- I do.- Can we work it just a bit harder on the 50 quid, Tony?

0:41:01 > 0:41:05For you and Hayley, I'll do £45.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07- OK, Hayley, so... - That's really good.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09- Are you happy, then? - I think we should accept that.

0:41:09 > 0:41:11- I think we should accept it. - Thank you very, very much.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13Hayley, thank you. David, thank you.

0:41:13 > 0:41:17Thank you. I was worried about what you were going to say there!

0:41:17 > 0:41:19Quite. Now, left a bit, Hayley.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21Right a bit. Down a bit.

0:41:23 > 0:41:27Back inside, the others are rummaging with some gusto.

0:41:27 > 0:41:29So what is our box?

0:41:29 > 0:41:31CM Colliery.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34I mean, it's just an empty box.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37No, it isn't. The equipment that goes inside it

0:41:37 > 0:41:41is there and it's for assessing the levels.

0:41:41 > 0:41:45Oh, wow! So I bow to your better judgment on this, Tony.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48- What is this? - In its simplest form, a plumb line.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51I can see you when I look down there!

0:41:51 > 0:41:52- Oh, my word.- It is still working.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55That's amazing. Look down there.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58Hey, yeah. You're upside down but looking good.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00That's probably better!

0:42:01 > 0:42:03There's a fair bit more in those cabinets, though.

0:42:03 > 0:42:06Tony, what can you tell me about this wagon plate?

0:42:06 > 0:42:09That is a wagon plate and it's 60 years old.

0:42:09 > 0:42:1016 tonnes.

0:42:10 > 0:42:14- Right.- I just feel that there is quite a healthy collectors market.

0:42:14 > 0:42:15- Railway...- Exactly.

0:42:15 > 0:42:20It's £28 and I think if we could secure that for £20,

0:42:20 > 0:42:21I think it's...

0:42:21 > 0:42:24- Yeah.- ..fab. Would you accept £20 for it, Tony?

0:42:25 > 0:42:27- Yes.- Oh, blimey.

0:42:27 > 0:42:28- Oh.- Done deal.

0:42:28 > 0:42:31- Thank you, Tony.- Ten?- Lovely, Tony.

0:42:31 > 0:42:32Five?

0:42:32 > 0:42:34I've got to say, you've both been quite decisive.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37Makes a change, doesn't it, Tony?

0:42:37 > 0:42:39Now time to shunt off.

0:42:39 > 0:42:42THEY DO TRAIN IMPRESSIONS

0:42:42 > 0:42:45Because with our shopping complete, let's take a peek...

0:42:45 > 0:42:47One, two, three.

0:42:47 > 0:42:50- GLASS CRASHES - Oh!- Uh-oh.

0:42:50 > 0:42:53- Damage.- Don't worry, I don't think we'll affect any value.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Oh!

0:42:55 > 0:42:57Oh, look what they've got!

0:42:57 > 0:42:58- What you think? - They've got a discus.

0:42:58 > 0:43:02Yes! Very tactile and so remarkably heavy.

0:43:02 > 0:43:05- Mm-hm. Yeah. - What this brown edifice here?

0:43:05 > 0:43:06What do you mean edifice?

0:43:06 > 0:43:09- Well, what is it?- Didn't you have a doll's house as a child?

0:43:09 > 0:43:12- How much did you pay for that? - We paid £20.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14Oh, that's not bad. Does it have accessories?

0:43:14 > 0:43:16It does have accessories.

0:43:16 > 0:43:18- Oh, that's dinky. - It's got a little...

0:43:18 > 0:43:21- Aw!- And it has an occupant.

0:43:21 > 0:43:23Oh, hello.

0:43:23 > 0:43:26I don't think you need to talk me through the posters because they

0:43:26 > 0:43:28look like something that you would normally wear.

0:43:28 > 0:43:31Yes! Or possibly paint, in those colours.

0:43:31 > 0:43:35- Yeah.- And you certainly wouldn't miss that piece of luggage on the

0:43:35 > 0:43:36- carousel at Heathrow.- No.- No.

0:43:36 > 0:43:38It's a big risky one.

0:43:38 > 0:43:41- Well, it's cool. - It's very cool.- Yeah.

0:43:41 > 0:43:43And then, what a lot of bottle.

0:43:43 > 0:43:45Yeah!

0:43:45 > 0:43:47Please tell me you paid £2.20 for those.

0:43:47 > 0:43:49Oh, my gosh. We did get a free drawer.

0:43:49 > 0:43:51Yay!

0:43:51 > 0:43:53Would you like to reveal yours?

0:43:53 > 0:43:56- Should we?- I think we should. - Shall we start at the front?- Yeah.

0:43:57 > 0:43:59- Oh!- Del West?

0:43:59 > 0:44:00- Is it original?- It is.

0:44:00 > 0:44:04- It is.- Yeah. - But it's Italian and it's...

0:44:04 > 0:44:08Translated into English, it was How The West Was Won.

0:44:08 > 0:44:09I really like that.

0:44:09 > 0:44:11- I do too.- We have to be delicate here.

0:44:11 > 0:44:13Quite delicate. So...

0:44:13 > 0:44:14- Ta-da.- Ooh!

0:44:14 > 0:44:18- Oh.- Got a bit of 1950s glam going on there.

0:44:18 > 0:44:19We have, absolutely.

0:44:19 > 0:44:22- That's railway.- It's a railway...

0:44:22 > 0:44:24Yeah. Wagon train plate.

0:44:24 > 0:44:28And that tells you the tonnage that it was allowed to take.

0:44:28 > 0:44:29- What do you fancy?- Well...

0:44:29 > 0:44:30Take your pick. Take your pick.

0:44:30 > 0:44:33- Any one.- Well, it's obviously a set.

0:44:33 > 0:44:34- Mm-hm.- Yes, very much so.

0:44:34 > 0:44:36Little trios. Alfred Meakin.

0:44:36 > 0:44:39- How nice.- Really sweet. They're all in good condition. And they've all

0:44:39 > 0:44:42- got their little set to them as well.- This is Stephen's purchase, I assume.

0:44:42 > 0:44:46- Is it all boxing?- Yeah, they're all boxing magazines, The Ring.

0:44:46 > 0:44:49- They are fascinating.- And they've got everyone from Rocky Marciano,

0:44:49 > 0:44:52Ray Robinson, before he was Sugar.

0:44:52 > 0:44:55For pugilist fans, I'm hoping.

0:44:55 > 0:44:57- What is that?- It's a hoot.

0:44:57 > 0:45:01- It's a hoot?- This, it's a bandage in itself...

0:45:01 > 0:45:02- Wow.- ..but demonstrates...

0:45:02 > 0:45:05- How you're supposed to tie the bandage.- How you tie the bandage.

0:45:05 > 0:45:08- It's cool, isn't it?- That's fantastic.- I quite like that.

0:45:08 > 0:45:11- Shall we see you at the auction? - We shall.- Absolutely.

0:45:11 > 0:45:14- Very best of luck.- We'll see you then.- Au revoir. Come on, madam.

0:45:14 > 0:45:16So, any regrets?

0:45:16 > 0:45:19I think they've got some very, very interesting things.

0:45:19 > 0:45:21- But so have we.- Yes. - That flight case!

0:45:21 > 0:45:24It's a bobby-dazzler, but it's a lot of money.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26- That poster.- I like the poster.

0:45:26 > 0:45:29- Yes.- I'm trying not to like it. - I do like that.

0:45:29 > 0:45:30Are you feeling confident?

0:45:30 > 0:45:32Erm... I don't know till I get there.

0:45:32 > 0:45:35- Quietly confident.- Quietly confident.- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:45:36 > 0:45:39After getting started at Powburn in the north-east,

0:45:39 > 0:45:44our celebrities and experts are about to get auctioning in Ossett.

0:45:44 > 0:45:46I must say, I'm quite excited.

0:45:46 > 0:45:48- Well, yeah.- About the auction.

0:45:48 > 0:45:50I haven't been to an auction for years.

0:45:50 > 0:45:52No, I've never been to an auction.

0:45:52 > 0:45:55This is it, this is the day of reckoning.

0:45:55 > 0:45:56- Oh-ho!- Right.

0:45:56 > 0:46:00- Don't throw the gauntlet down on me, Millsy.- Yeah.

0:46:00 > 0:46:05This is Ossett, an Anglo-Saxon name which translates as

0:46:05 > 0:46:08"fold frequented by blackbirds".

0:46:08 > 0:46:11Handy. This is the CWH sale room,

0:46:11 > 0:46:14a family-run business dating back as far as 1880.

0:46:14 > 0:46:17Although internet bidding is a much more recent innovation.

0:46:17 > 0:46:19- Good morning.- Hi!

0:46:19 > 0:46:21- How are you?- Good to see you.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23You're looking beautiful.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25- Aw!- As ever.- Come on, this is the exciting bit.

0:46:25 > 0:46:27- Yes.- Look, she's dragging him in already.

0:46:27 > 0:46:29The auction has started.

0:46:29 > 0:46:30- Go, go, go.- Are you excited?

0:46:30 > 0:46:33- I am.- Fantastic.

0:46:33 > 0:46:38Stephen and Christina parted with a mere £180 for five auction lots.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40We've boxed clever there.

0:46:40 > 0:46:44While Hayley and David spent a bit more - 334 for their five lots.

0:46:45 > 0:46:47You're such a hero!

0:46:47 > 0:46:50But what does auctioneer Dion Harrison think

0:46:50 > 0:46:52might wow the West Riding?

0:46:52 > 0:46:54The big flight case is by far the best item.

0:46:54 > 0:46:58I would think there will be a lot of interest in that and I would have

0:46:58 > 0:47:00thought probably £90 to £120.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03The collection of boxing magazines were very interesting.

0:47:03 > 0:47:05There's some fighters mentioned there, like Jack Dempsey,

0:47:05 > 0:47:09should be of interest. The discus is unusual and it is inscribed with the

0:47:09 > 0:47:12Finnish word for bear, which is virtually unpronounceable.

0:47:12 > 0:47:15Well, you learn something every day.

0:47:15 > 0:47:16Are we ready?

0:47:16 > 0:47:19- Yeah, absolutely.- Hayley, do you think we're going to make any money?

0:47:19 > 0:47:22- I think we have a very, very good chance.- Do you?

0:47:22 > 0:47:24First, we have a small selection

0:47:24 > 0:47:27of those bottles Hayley and David plumped for.

0:47:27 > 0:47:30£45 for the contents of somebody's recycling bin?

0:47:30 > 0:47:33- Don't rub it in.- Really? - Well, a Victorian bottled dump.

0:47:33 > 0:47:34£20 to start them off.

0:47:34 > 0:47:37- Go on.- Silence.

0:47:37 > 0:47:38You've got ten.

0:47:38 > 0:47:39Ten?! It's a start.

0:47:39 > 0:47:42- It's a start.- There's a tumbleweed.

0:47:42 > 0:47:44Oh, now. We've got another one.

0:47:44 > 0:47:45Right. 15.

0:47:45 > 0:47:47- Chappie in the room.- At 15...

0:47:47 > 0:47:49At 15... 15.

0:47:49 > 0:47:50I'll take five more.

0:47:50 > 0:47:53- Go on.- 15. I have 20. At 20.

0:47:53 > 0:47:56- Oh, he's working the room for you, guys.- 20.- Yeah, well done.

0:47:56 > 0:47:5725 on the right-hand side.

0:47:57 > 0:47:59Come on.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01It's a slow burner. It started slowly but...

0:48:01 > 0:48:04- At £25.- 25's not so bad.

0:48:04 > 0:48:06It's not so bad. We've only lost 20 quid,

0:48:06 > 0:48:08- I think we've done remarkably well. - Agreed.

0:48:08 > 0:48:12About what David thought they might fetch when he first saw them.

0:48:12 > 0:48:15I don't feel bad about that, do you feel bad about that, Hayley?

0:48:15 > 0:48:18- It's a preview...- I would like it to have been a bit more than that.

0:48:18 > 0:48:21Stephen's turn. He spotted this sling, remember.

0:48:21 > 0:48:25Her mother has one in the downstairs excuse me.

0:48:25 > 0:48:27Yeah, she does.

0:48:27 > 0:48:30- Aw! Happy memories. - Yeah, so let's blame mother.

0:48:30 > 0:48:32- If it all goes wrong.- £10 for him.

0:48:32 > 0:48:3310 on the internet now, at 10.

0:48:33 > 0:48:35- And 15 in the room. - Oh, look at that.

0:48:35 > 0:48:38At 15. I have 20 on the internet.

0:48:38 > 0:48:41At 20. At 20. And 5.

0:48:41 > 0:48:44This is actually how you're supposed to do it.

0:48:44 > 0:48:46Yes, it's supposed to go up and up and up.

0:48:46 > 0:48:48I have £25 on the bid for him.

0:48:48 > 0:48:50- And I'm selling in the room. - Well done.

0:48:50 > 0:48:52Yeah, well done. Well done.

0:48:52 > 0:48:56- Phew.- Yes, take a Girl Guide badge for profit-making.

0:48:56 > 0:48:59- I was still hoping it would make a little bit more.- Oh, stop moaning.

0:48:59 > 0:49:01Well, it's cheaper than...

0:49:01 > 0:49:03..getting a first aid kit, isn't it?

0:49:03 > 0:49:07Any doting grandparents here for Hayley's doll's house?

0:49:07 > 0:49:09And a very sweet occupant.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11- Very nice.- She's like Little Miss Havisham.

0:49:11 > 0:49:14Yes. I hope she doesn't set fire to our house.

0:49:14 > 0:49:17- Exactly.- So how much can we say for this one?

0:49:17 > 0:49:18£30 to start him.

0:49:18 > 0:49:20Oh, there you go.

0:49:20 > 0:49:22- Go on.- Come on.- 20, then.

0:49:23 > 0:49:2520. 20 on the left-hand side.

0:49:25 > 0:49:29- At 20...- Now we're looking for profit...- Yeah, come on.- 25.

0:49:29 > 0:49:3030, gentleman sitting down.

0:49:30 > 0:49:33- 30, keep going.- Yes. Good show.

0:49:33 > 0:49:3535? Well done, guys.

0:49:35 > 0:49:37I have 35. I have 40.

0:49:37 > 0:49:38At 40. At 40.

0:49:38 > 0:49:41- Called double bubble in the trade. - Double your money.- Yeah, well.

0:49:41 > 0:49:44I'll take it to 5, then, now.

0:49:44 > 0:49:45At £40.

0:49:45 > 0:49:48- And the bid's in the room. - That's all right.

0:49:48 > 0:49:52- Double bubble. Happy with that? - Congratulations.- Yeah, well done.

0:49:52 > 0:49:54Now they've both had a good lot.

0:49:54 > 0:49:56Let's hope this one doesn't hit the buffers.

0:49:56 > 0:49:59Oh, she's been thinking about that for days!

0:49:59 > 0:50:02Yes, it's Stephen's bit of railway-ana.

0:50:02 > 0:50:03What do we know about it?

0:50:03 > 0:50:05- Do you know anything else about it? - It's worth a fortune.

0:50:05 > 0:50:08You never told us that before.

0:50:08 > 0:50:10£20 for him.

0:50:12 > 0:50:14I have 20 bid now, at 20.

0:50:14 > 0:50:16At 20, at 20, at 20.

0:50:16 > 0:50:19I'll take fives. Oh, it's worth it now.

0:50:19 > 0:50:20At £20...

0:50:20 > 0:50:22Oh, 25, there you go.

0:50:22 > 0:50:25At 30. At 30, at 30, at 30.

0:50:25 > 0:50:27At £30 on the bid for it now.

0:50:27 > 0:50:29The bid's in the room, at £30.

0:50:29 > 0:50:32Are you all quiet?

0:50:32 > 0:50:35- Small profit.- Good. Well done.- It's OK.

0:50:35 > 0:50:38Not a fortune exactly but not to be sniffed at either.

0:50:38 > 0:50:40I'm not comfortable.

0:50:40 > 0:50:42- You're not comfortable? - And it's not that I'm pessimistic,

0:50:42 > 0:50:46- as you well know...- Yeah. - It's just, you just feel anxious.

0:50:46 > 0:50:48- Yes.- It's like...- And responsible.

0:50:48 > 0:50:51It's like sending your lovely children out into the world

0:50:51 > 0:50:53and hoping they to go to a nice home.

0:50:53 > 0:50:57- I know.- But I don't... As long as I get cash for it, I don't care.

0:50:58 > 0:51:02Now, I'm fairly sure that Hayley's health and safety posters failed to

0:51:02 > 0:51:06have much effect on the seismic events of 1968.

0:51:06 > 0:51:09- They match your trousers.- Yes.- Do they? I thought they were green.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11- What colour is that?- Well, they're kind of yellowy green.

0:51:11 > 0:51:13Yellowy green? Well, I'm colour-blind, so I wouldn't know.

0:51:13 > 0:51:15Are you colour-blind?

0:51:15 > 0:51:17- Slightly colour-blind, yeah. - That explains so much.

0:51:17 > 0:51:19- That explains so much! - How much can we say?

0:51:19 > 0:51:21- £30 for them.- Go on.

0:51:21 > 0:51:22Should be that all day long.

0:51:22 > 0:51:2420.

0:51:24 > 0:51:2520 on the internet now...

0:51:25 > 0:51:27That's hysterical.

0:51:27 > 0:51:30£20 for them.

0:51:30 > 0:51:31And 5 in the room.

0:51:31 > 0:51:33- 25 in the room.- 30 online.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36At 30, and 5.

0:51:36 > 0:51:38At £35 bid for it now.

0:51:38 > 0:51:39I'd give you more than that.

0:51:39 > 0:51:41They're amazing.

0:51:41 > 0:51:43At £35, is everybody quiet?

0:51:45 > 0:51:48- Oh.- A tiny, tiny profit after we've paid...

0:51:48 > 0:51:51- £5.- We've got to pay a bit of commission.- I was surprised by that.

0:51:51 > 0:51:54I know, commission. Haven't we told you about that?

0:51:54 > 0:51:56No!

0:51:56 > 0:51:59Sorry, Hayley, take a few pounds off.

0:51:59 > 0:52:01See, now that makes me worried for our big poster now,

0:52:01 > 0:52:04cos I thought they had man cave...

0:52:04 > 0:52:06Very man-cavey.

0:52:06 > 0:52:07If people don't even remember Del West

0:52:07 > 0:52:11- and what a marvellous cowboy he was. - Exactly.

0:52:11 > 0:52:13Well, they may have the other half.

0:52:13 > 0:52:14Or maybe speak Italian.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17So you know the theme tune to this movie. Give us the theme tune.

0:52:17 > 0:52:19HE HUMS TUNE

0:52:27 > 0:52:29Well, he was in Brassed Off.

0:52:29 > 0:52:30How much can we say for it?

0:52:30 > 0:52:32- 20.- £20 bid for it now.

0:52:32 > 0:52:34More than that, come on.

0:52:34 > 0:52:3720 and 5. I've 20, I've 30.

0:52:37 > 0:52:38Oh, she's bidding, guys.

0:52:38 > 0:52:40Many famous names on there.

0:52:40 > 0:52:42I've 35 bid now.

0:52:42 > 0:52:44At 40 now. At 40.

0:52:44 > 0:52:46Keep going.

0:52:46 > 0:52:48At £40 I'm bid for it.

0:52:48 > 0:52:495 sitting down, and 50.

0:52:49 > 0:52:52Oh, he's keen. Someone is keen, yes.

0:52:53 > 0:52:54At £50 on the bid for him now.

0:52:54 > 0:52:56- Oh, come on, more. - The bid still in the room.

0:52:56 > 0:52:58Read some of the names out.

0:52:58 > 0:53:00£50. Is everybody quiet?

0:53:00 > 0:53:02Oof.

0:53:02 > 0:53:05I suppose it's half the money for half the poster, isn't it?

0:53:05 > 0:53:07That's rather a brutal way of putting things.

0:53:07 > 0:53:10Hayley Mills, get me out me funk.

0:53:12 > 0:53:13It was a good choice.

0:53:13 > 0:53:18- Thanks, mate.- It was...it was well worth the gamble.

0:53:18 > 0:53:19See, now I'm happy again.

0:53:21 > 0:53:25From Italy to Finland, how far can Hayley's discus go?

0:53:26 > 0:53:29- We paid 29.- Oh, I did, I got £1 off, didn't I?

0:53:29 > 0:53:32Yeah, you did. She got £1 off.

0:53:32 > 0:53:34You are a fierce haggler.

0:53:34 > 0:53:36The only thing we can tell you about this,

0:53:36 > 0:53:39it's engraved with the Finnish word for bear, isn't it, Fran?

0:53:39 > 0:53:41It means bear? It must be the model.

0:53:41 > 0:53:45I have no idea what type of bear it was but how much can we say?

0:53:47 > 0:53:49£20 for the discus.

0:53:49 > 0:53:50Up, up, up, up.

0:53:50 > 0:53:52- Thank you, at 20.- Oh, straightaway.

0:53:52 > 0:53:55- Are you bidding?- 25, come on.

0:53:55 > 0:53:59I've 25 bid now. I've 30.

0:53:59 > 0:54:01- Are you bidding, sir?- Go on, sir.

0:54:01 > 0:54:0335, 35.

0:54:03 > 0:54:06- Go on.- 40 in the high chairs.

0:54:06 > 0:54:08Oh, that's better.

0:54:08 > 0:54:11And 5. At 45.

0:54:11 > 0:54:12This cannot make more than our film poster.

0:54:12 > 0:54:14- £45.- Come on, one more.

0:54:14 > 0:54:17- The bid's on the right-hand side. - It's exciting this.

0:54:17 > 0:54:1845.

0:54:18 > 0:54:20- Very nice.- We made money on it.

0:54:20 > 0:54:22- Yes.- Very nice.- £16.

0:54:22 > 0:54:24£16.

0:54:24 > 0:54:27Do you know, those two have recovered from their shaky start.

0:54:27 > 0:54:29You've not lost it, Mills.

0:54:29 > 0:54:30I don't care what they say.

0:54:30 > 0:54:33You're worth a pound of anyone's discus.

0:54:34 > 0:54:38And in the brown corner, Stephen's magazine collection.

0:54:38 > 0:54:39£20 to start them off.

0:54:42 > 0:54:43I've 10 in the room then now.

0:54:43 > 0:54:48At 10. At 15, at 15, at £15 this lot.

0:54:48 > 0:54:49Gentleman standing up at £15.

0:54:49 > 0:54:51I'll take another 5, they should be worth far more.

0:54:51 > 0:54:54At £15.

0:54:54 > 0:54:57I've 20 then now. At £20, I'm bid for this lot.

0:54:57 > 0:54:58I'll take another 5 then now.

0:54:58 > 0:55:00At £20.

0:55:00 > 0:55:05I think there's Jack Dempsey there and all sorts. At 25, at 25.

0:55:05 > 0:55:06All it's worth to you now.

0:55:06 > 0:55:10An internet bid at £25, all quiet.

0:55:10 > 0:55:12Oh.

0:55:12 > 0:55:16- Oh.- Very disappointing.- But it was looking really bad about

0:55:16 > 0:55:18ten seconds ago.

0:55:19 > 0:55:20Positive thinking, David.

0:55:20 > 0:55:24We're not any of us doing really amazingly well, are we?

0:55:24 > 0:55:27- Well...- And now we've got...

0:55:27 > 0:55:30Well, yeah, watch out, here comes the trunk.

0:55:30 > 0:55:33Yes, very nice, but very pricey.

0:55:33 > 0:55:34Hayley's big buy.

0:55:34 > 0:55:37- What's it like on the inside? - Oh, it's beautiful.

0:55:37 > 0:55:39- It's wood.- It's lined with material, it's got two lovely pockets.

0:55:39 > 0:55:41It's got a lovely smell to it.

0:55:41 > 0:55:43Oh, yeah, yeah, a bit like the roller.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45It has distinct smell.

0:55:45 > 0:55:47- Childhood.- It's got a lovely smell to it. Mothballs.

0:55:47 > 0:55:51- I like mothball smell.- What? Really? - He was raised by moths.

0:55:51 > 0:55:53- Yes, clearly. - £100 can we say for it?

0:55:55 > 0:55:57£50 I'm bid. At £50 I'm bid.

0:55:57 > 0:55:58A bit more than that.

0:56:00 > 0:56:02At 70. At £70 I'm bid for it.

0:56:02 > 0:56:04- Come on.- Oh, don't.

0:56:04 > 0:56:06- There's a long way to go here, Hayley.- Oh, dear.

0:56:06 > 0:56:09- Come on, we've got all day. - At 90 on the right-hand side.

0:56:09 > 0:56:11At £90 bid for it.

0:56:11 > 0:56:13100, thank you.

0:56:13 > 0:56:16At 100. At £100 bid for him.

0:56:16 > 0:56:19£100 all quiet?

0:56:19 > 0:56:22Oh. Is that it? Is that it?

0:56:22 > 0:56:24Oh, no.

0:56:24 > 0:56:26That's a whacking loss, isn't it?

0:56:26 > 0:56:27But you were expecting it.

0:56:27 > 0:56:29You went into it with your eyes open.

0:56:29 > 0:56:31And your intentions were nothing but honourable.

0:56:31 > 0:56:33Agreed. It's a very good thing.

0:56:33 > 0:56:36I'm still proud of it, I still love it.

0:56:36 > 0:56:39- Would you have bought it again? - I think we know the answer to that.

0:56:39 > 0:56:42Finally, at the opposite end of the spectrum,

0:56:42 > 0:56:44we present Stephen's favourite buy.

0:56:44 > 0:56:47I'm rather partial to them, Hayley Mills.

0:56:47 > 0:56:48Like I am of you.

0:56:48 > 0:56:52Aw! Because they're old and a bit cracked.

0:56:53 > 0:56:54I have 20 on the internet now.

0:56:54 > 0:56:56Oh, straightaway.

0:56:56 > 0:56:58And 5 and 5 and 5.

0:56:58 > 0:56:59- This is it.- At 30.

0:56:59 > 0:57:03I think we've still got a chance of winning here, so don't worry.

0:57:03 > 0:57:05And 5 and 5. At 35.

0:57:05 > 0:57:06Well done, good spot.

0:57:06 > 0:57:08Very good spot.

0:57:08 > 0:57:10- At 40 behind us.- Yay.

0:57:10 > 0:57:14- On fire.- So when people say tea services don't sell,

0:57:14 > 0:57:16we've proved them wrong.

0:57:16 > 0:57:19At £40, are you quiet at £40, all sure?

0:57:20 > 0:57:24Well done. Well done. Double bubble.

0:57:24 > 0:57:26Yes, a happy ending.

0:57:26 > 0:57:28Let's go and do some calculation, shall we?

0:57:28 > 0:57:29All right, in the sun, let's go.

0:57:29 > 0:57:33Hayley and David started out with £400 and after auction costs,

0:57:33 > 0:57:38they made a loss of £133.10, so they end up

0:57:38 > 0:57:42with £266.90.

0:57:42 > 0:57:46While Stephen and Christina who began with the same sum made a much

0:57:46 > 0:57:52smaller loss after costs of £40.60, meaning that with a final total of

0:57:52 > 0:57:57£359.40, they are our winners.

0:57:57 > 0:57:58Well done. Well done.

0:57:58 > 0:58:01- Yes, well done. - You've broken your Harper duck.

0:58:01 > 0:58:02I know. Thank you.

0:58:02 > 0:58:05After 45 years it's taken...

0:58:05 > 0:58:08- Oh, David, it's my fault. - I know, but it's been worth it.

0:58:08 > 0:58:11- It's been worth it, honestly. - I suppose we'd better go now.

0:58:11 > 0:58:14You'd better drive off in the Rolls-Royce into the distance.

0:58:14 > 0:58:16Put your foot down, Mills, let's see how far we go.

0:58:16 > 0:58:19- OK.- Thanks for the education.

0:58:19 > 0:58:21Any time.

0:58:21 > 0:58:23- Bye.- Bye-bye.- Bye-bye.

0:58:24 > 0:58:27Off they go, but they might very well be back.

0:58:27 > 0:58:31Can we make a date to go antiquing together, just us?

0:58:31 > 0:58:34- Yeah.- And then show off.- Ha-ha!
