0:00:02 > 0:00:03- The nation's favourite celebrities...- Oh!
0:00:03 > 0:00:06- Just want to touch base. - ..paired up with an expert...
0:00:06 > 0:00:09- Boo! - ..and a classic car.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11No hands!
0:00:11 > 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 > 0:00:23- Oh!- Who will find a hidden gem?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24TOOT!
0:00:24 > 0:00:26- Like that. - Who will take the biggest risk?
0:00:26 > 0:00:27This could end in disaster.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Will anybody follow expert advice?
0:00:30 > 0:00:31But I love this.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Why would you buy something you're not going to use?
0:00:33 > 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 > 0:00:40Hang on, let me get out of first gear.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Yeah!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Today, we're in Hampshire,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55in the company of an English cricketing legend
0:00:55 > 0:00:57and his comedy sidekick.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59- Indicate!- Why?
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I like the lights.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02OK, I'll indicate.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03So that's going right.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Yes, it's renowned batsman David Gower
0:01:08 > 0:01:10and TV presenter Nick Hancock.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15These two sporting nuts appear together
0:01:15 > 0:01:18in the TV panel show They Think It's All Over,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and have remained firm friends ever since.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23David Gower's nickname, of course,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27was Started Brightly Then Chased A Wide One To Third Slipper.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Was that easy to say?- No.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Nick started out as a stand-up comedian before turning his hand to
0:01:34 > 0:01:37presenting on TV and radio.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43Whilst David scored over 8,000 Test match runs in his career,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45one of the highest scores by an English player.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53The elegant batsman is behind the wheel of a 1965 Ford Anglia.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56It's bringing back some memories, too.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00This vintage gem...
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- Yeah?- ..is what my father drove across Africa in 1963.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07He put it on a boat, crossed the equator with it,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10took it back to Kent, and then, many, many years later,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I got to the age of 17, learned to drive badly...
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Really? This same car?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15This car did all that stuff, survived all that.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19And it took me about five weeks to put into a hedge in Leicestershire.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21It didn't survive that.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Let's hope you have better luck with this one.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Helping the gents on their intrepid antiques adventure,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32in this 1960s Sunbeam Tiger,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35are seasoned auctioneers Charlie Ross and Phil Serrell.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41So how's your cricket terminology, Roscoe?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Absolutely spot-on.- What about your googlies? Are they all right?
0:02:44 > 0:02:45My googlies... You know what a googly is?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Absolutely, yeah.- What is a googly?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- An off break...- Yes? - ..bowled with a leg break action.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Oh! Do you know? It's something I've never had in my armoury,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- a googly.- No, no. - I bowl leg breaks, like this.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57But I've never been able to bowl a googly.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59You and me both, chief.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Presumably, you're going to work with David?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I've got to, cos he's left-handed and I'm left-handed.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Oh, right, OK.- We can put on a lot of runs together.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09David Gower is just a complete legend of the game.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13He was certainly one of his generation's greatest batsmen.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14- Yeah.- And he could well have been
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- one of the greatest lefties of all-time, really.- Yeah.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Nick... I mean, I'm just worried what I'm going to talk to him about.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Because he was a Cambridge University boy, wasn't he?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- He's a bit brighter than you. - A bit?!
0:03:25 > 0:03:27HE LAUGHS
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Don't be so hard on yourself!
0:03:29 > 0:03:30TIM LAUGHS
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Starting out from the cathedral city of Salisbury,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36our celebrities and experts will take a dignified drive
0:03:36 > 0:03:39around Hampshire before heading south to the coast,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43then in a north-easterly direction for an auction in Sidcup.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Oh! What is this!
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Harry Potter.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Hello. Good morning.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50It's been so long.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Oh, G... This is...- Hang on... - How are you?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Hello, hello, hello.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'm glad to be out of there, I have to say.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Does he drive like he bats?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- Yes, yes.- Nick, good to see you. - Hello, Mr Ross.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- How are you?- Very good to you, how are you?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04We chatted in the car,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07and Charlie said it was going to be
0:04:07 > 0:04:10the talented left-handers against us.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- Am I with you? - Oh, yeah, you're driving.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Am I?- Yeah. Jump in.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15- Oh.- Jump in.- Can I see your licence?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Last one to the shop is a sissy.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22With £400 to spend, our teams better get cracking.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Oh, I like that.- That was cool, wasn't it?- Nice technique.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29The technique is trying to put the seat belt on!
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Bye, chaps!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Now, I know, Nick, that you are an...
0:04:38 > 0:04:40You got an avid interest in sport, haven't you?
0:04:40 > 0:04:45- Oh, yes.- So does that transform into collecting sports memorabilia and
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- stuff?- I have. I mean, that whole sporting memorabilia thing,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I'll be led by you, but I think
0:04:49 > 0:04:53you need a specialist knowledge.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57You're not going to happen upon these top, top things for no money.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59So what's going to float your boat?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Well, I'm approaching this, Phil, that...
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Basically, I'm going to be led by you because I know nothing
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- and you know...- Nothing. - Well, I've heard something.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11No, no, not much, mate. Really.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12- CHARLIE:- What about antiques?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Are you an antique lover, or...?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16No, no, I'm not a great expert.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I've collected bits of furniture over the years.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Have you?- And I like things like...
0:05:21 > 0:05:23What I do collect is a bit of art, sculpture.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Yes?- But from modern artists.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Yes. Are you naturally competitive?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Well, naturally yes, but not at all costs.- No.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- PHIL:- And what about- His Lordship, - Lord Gower?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Well, do you know, I think the big problem for David is not going to be
0:05:37 > 0:05:41the fine objects, because he lives his life amongst fine objects.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Yes.- The problem for him is going to be shopping.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Because I don't think he's ever done it.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- What, he has someone do it for him? - He has a man
0:05:48 > 0:05:50that goes and does his shopping.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Well, he's got one today. - That's true.- Roscoe.- He has.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02We're sharing the first shopping destination.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Both teams' cars are pointed to that cathedral city,
0:06:06 > 0:06:11and Salisbury Antiques Market. So let the game commence.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- How are you? - We thought we'd lost you.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19With more than 15 dealers over three floors, there's plenty on offer.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20How competitive are you?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Do you want to win?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24It would be nice to win.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25I'd like to buy some nice things.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Best get looking, then.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Now, where are David and Charlie?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31No.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35No.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39You'll get a much better sound if you hold it up.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Steady on.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Service!
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Do you think this would be me?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Oh, God, that's like a smoking jacket, isn't it?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53It's more Henry Blofeld than you, I would have thought.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54But...
0:06:55 > 0:06:58That is very smart.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Do you think if somebody saw David Gower walking up and down
0:07:00 > 0:07:04a saleroom in that, they would be forced to bid?
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Hello, what's going on here?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Pathetic hiding.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Oh, it...it's... Sorry. It's childish, isn't it?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13- It is.- Yeah, let's do it.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Hiding things from the opposition isn't quite cricket, gents.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Charlie's lost his celebrity, but what's he found?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Feels quite interesting.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29A model of the Queen Mary.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- David.- Yeah?- Have a look at this.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34This is, I would think, about 1950s.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Original boxed model...of the Queen Mary.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38All 12 decks removable?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Well, that's what intrigued me.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Two little nuts on the top here.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48And it reveals each of the decks, which I think's quite interesting.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49First class, which you'd be in.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Does it reveal what's been going on below decks?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I just think it's an interesting thing, and then...
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Oh, no.- Just gone down in value.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Gower.- Excuse me...
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I'll get it, then. I'll see if I can...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- I think it's an interesting object. - Don't lose the bits.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I think it's a really interesting, educational...
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Which way were the whatsits facing? - The funnels go to the back.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10That's it. Sloping backwards.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Well, it's fun, isn't it? - I just think it's a fun object,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15and something that people would buy.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16- At a price.- Well...
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- You know? - Chad Valley Company Limited.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Yeah, yeah, good maker.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Original, with instructions, original box.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Yeah?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Good paintwork.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27You know, it's in good order.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32British brand Chad Valley started making toys
0:08:32 > 0:08:33in the early 19th century
0:08:33 > 0:08:35from its factory in the West Midlands -
0:08:35 > 0:08:39unsurprisingly, in a valley near a stream called the Chad.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- What's it worth?- 40 quid?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Do you know, that's exactly what I thought.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48You're a past master of value.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49A lucky early guess?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51No, no, I think that's a very accurate.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Yes, I would think an estimate in a saleroom
0:08:54 > 0:08:56would be 30 to 50, 40 to 60.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Right. Shall I go and have a word with whoever's in charge of having a
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- word with?- It's something that I think's got a bit of mileage.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Right, OK, let's have a look. - Stand by, Rose.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Hi, just want to see if we can...
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- ..negotiate on this. We found this. - Well, what's the price on it?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Probably hidden, that. I think it says 30 quid.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Maybe I've misread that.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18£60.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Well, I'm allowed to take off 10%.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27So if I... If I'm pushing it, I'm going to say £50 for cash.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28If YOU'RE pushing it?
0:09:28 > 0:09:29What if I was pushing it?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Well, what are you suggesting? - Well, I reckon...
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I mean, my initial thought was about 40 quid.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39So I would have started... I'm going to be honest with you and say,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I was thinking of 40 quid, I was good to start with 30.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43And we have checked the screws, they do work.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46We admit that. The screws to work, but not this one at the back.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- So there's no propulsion. - What about 45?
0:09:48 > 0:09:4940? Go on, just do 40.
0:09:49 > 0:09:5140 would be lovely.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- OK.- Sure?- How charming.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58First purchase of the road trip,
0:09:58 > 0:10:02a Chad Valley Queen Mary model with a key chart, in its original box,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04for £40.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Now, what are the other two up to?
0:10:13 > 0:10:14See, Nick, I love these.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Look. See, this is the Oxford University...
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Oh, and Cambridge University relay teams, 1935.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24They are relay teams. But the thing for me is that's 1935.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Four years later, outbreak of war.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31- Yeah.- Do you know, they all look like fighter pilots, don't they?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Yeah.- I know is that haircuts and everything. But it's just...
0:10:33 > 0:10:37You can imagine them all being involved somehow.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Is there a Hancock? - Yeah, there is a Hancock.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43In the middle of it somewhere, there you are.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44I really like that.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Dealer Pete? You're needed.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Um, well, I could...
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I could make a phone call, see what the best is.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01You've got a picture, and it's Oxford University,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03with £45 on it,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06and we were wondering what the very best price would be.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Philip. Oh, right. She wants to speak to you.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Is that all right? - Oh, yeah, of course it is.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- There you go.- Absolutely right. Hotline, this.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Hello. This is the relay team of Oxford and Cambridge.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19The one that we like is £20 or £25 worth for us.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24All right, my love. So 25 just for the one?
0:11:24 > 0:11:25OK, bye.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28She's been more than generous.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32What I suggest that we do, Pete, is that, if you don't mind,
0:11:32 > 0:11:33if you could hold that for us...
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- OK.- Certainly until the other team have left the building!
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Don't worry, they're busy with some serious browsing.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- You've got enough, haven't you? - Do you need a hat?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- It's hot out there.- Are you thinking more of this sort of thing?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48DAVID LAUGHS
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Perfect.- You think that's the hat I should be having?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- Is it expensive?- For nine quid,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I will buy that hat personally for you.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56You won't! That will keep the sun off.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59As long as you promise to walk around Salisbury in that.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- I promise to walk around Salisbury in it.- Right. Done, deal.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Mr Gower.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05A gentleman!
0:12:05 > 0:12:06What a gentleman.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10And with nothing else to tempt them, David and Charlie head off.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I must say, I'm quite pleased with my present.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15DAVID LAUGHS
0:12:15 > 0:12:17But have Nick and Phil made a decision?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19We're probably going to go with the photograph,
0:12:19 > 0:12:21which I think you kept for us.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24And...
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Tempted as we were, that might be it.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27So there's £30 there.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- OK, thank you.- Lovely.- There you go. - And we'll take the picture
0:12:31 > 0:12:32- if we may.- Shall I be the porter?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Yeah, you be the... Yeah. - I'll be the porter.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- There you go.- Thank you very much indeed. Cheers, thank you.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- We've left ourselves with some work to do.- Absolutely.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44Don't worry, chaps. That's 1-1 so far. You're not out yet.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48You might even have some time for some countryside pursuits.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Nick's presented many programmes over the years,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56from Great Railway Journeys to Fishing All Over The World,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58A particular past time that is his passion.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02So why particular fishing?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Don't know. I like to be out and about,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07you get to see some beautiful parts of the country.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10But I just quite like mucking around in rivers.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15So you are trout and salmon fishermen?
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Well, I do... I do other fishing as well.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19But I really enjoy that cos I love rivers.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23They're heading to Sutton Scotney and the banks of the River Test
0:13:23 > 0:13:26to learn about a man who led the way for a new type of fishing,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29and one that became globally popular.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I'm looking forward to this.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Yes. Not as much as I am! - Really?- Yeah.- Are you up for this?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Oh, I'm so up for doing some fishing.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Let's go. I want to go fishing!
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Come on, Mr Hancock.- I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- I'm desperate to come. Let's go. - This is a man excited. - Let's go, let's go.
0:13:46 > 0:13:52Fly fishing was first recorded in 3000 BC by the Macedonians.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55The sport has been richly chronicled over the centuries,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58but it was one man, Frederic Halford,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00and his 19th-century book that has
0:14:00 > 0:14:02had the greatest influence on fly
0:14:02 > 0:14:04fishing around the world.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07To find out how Halford's new
0:14:07 > 0:14:09approach changed fishing forever,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12they're meeting fly-fishing coach Simon Cooper,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16who has been wading in these waters for 40 years.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- Simon.- Nick, good to see you. - How are you?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Philip. Hello, good to see you. - Good to see you.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22You look the part, don't you?
0:14:22 > 0:14:27- Well, you know.- It was at this very spot that Halford put pen to paper.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30These are famously chalk streams, and chalk streams...
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Why are they special, particularly?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35They're very special because the water actually comes out
0:14:35 > 0:14:38of the chalk aquifers, so it's always gin clear,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40it's always 51 degrees.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41I like the analogy already!
0:14:41 > 0:14:43THEY LAUGH
0:14:43 > 0:14:45You can drink it if you like, it won't have any effect.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48And it's just perfect for fly fishing and brown trout.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51So you're casting to a specific fish.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53And brown trout are territorial,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55so you know they're likely to stay there.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Exactly. Yes.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I mean, if you're a brown trout, you'll be born,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01and live and die within 50 yards.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Really?- Oh, yeah, they're very slothful.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06But you, surely...
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- I could be a brown trout? - You were born,
0:15:08 > 0:15:12lived and will probably die within 50 miles.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Before Halford's book,
0:15:14 > 0:15:18anglers fished with a wet fly fishing technique,
0:15:18 > 0:15:21where the fly sits under the water.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23So how exactly did Halford change fishing?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Up to then, fishing was a fairly random affair.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29You were just sort of putting something on the water and hoping
0:15:29 > 0:15:31that there was a fish in the vicinity
0:15:31 > 0:15:33and it would actually come and grab your fly.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35But what Halford was doing,
0:15:35 > 0:15:39his belief was that you should identify a fish that was right
0:15:39 > 0:15:42and coming to the surface to take a fly,
0:15:42 > 0:15:46then identify what particular insect it was taking,
0:15:46 > 0:15:50tie an imitation of that insect on the end of your fly line,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54cast it to the fish, and then catch it.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Entomologist Halford devoted his life to the development
0:15:58 > 0:16:01of a definitive series of flies.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05He spent hours comparing his fake flies to preserved naturals,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08compiling 33 illustrations to publish in his book.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15So the basic message of the book is "match the hatch"?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Yeah. I mean, that's the perfect phrase to describe what we're doing.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Today, height of the mayfly season, Duffer's fortnight.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- What does that mean? - I'll just tell you.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Duffer's fortnight means, if you can't catch a fish this fortnight,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31cos the mayfly are everywhere, you are a duffer.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Good luck. Good luck to me!
0:16:33 > 0:16:35So this is what we're going to be fishing with.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39This is the mayfly. There actually are insects flying around today...
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Yeah.- That look just like that.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43There's one, I can see one. See, there, next to the tree.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Look, itty bitty bug.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48So can these old duffers actually catch anything?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- And all you need to do is just up and fall.- And down.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- OK.- Up and down. That's it. - OK, I'll take over.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Just let that one just drift for a moment, and now try again.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Up and down.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- That's good.- Not really, but...
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- Move down, see if you can get this boy here. - Right, don't cast for the minute.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Doing really well. Phil's doing really well.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Woohoo! Nice cast, well done.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- He's patronising you.- I know.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Can you see the fish moving under it?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18No, I can't even see the fly, let alone the fish.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21If he falls in, I've got to sit next to him in that car for the next day.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Lordy.- How are you getting on, Nick?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I've got my trousers wet, I've frightened a lot of fish,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29and I haven't done it properly.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Halford's dry fly approach did provoke controversy
0:17:33 > 0:17:36with the traditional fishing set,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40with wet subsurface fly fishing being more popular from the 1930s.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45But there's no denying Halford's techniques continue to have huge
0:17:45 > 0:17:48influence over the sport today.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52I'm just wondering if Simon's got a spare pair of trousers anywhere.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53I mean, one of the things...
0:17:53 > 0:17:56If you can't enjoy fishing when you haven't caught,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58you shouldn't really be fishing, should you?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01And that's very lucky for me, cos that's generally the case.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I bet Halford never did this.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10He'd be turning in his grave.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16We'll leave Nick and Phil messing about on the river.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Where are the other two?- This is a competition between you and Nick.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- Oh, yes.- You know, we're here to, I'm going to say, help and advise,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25but damn that. You buy what you want.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27It'll be interesting to see what we find.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32I mean, we've got £400, and my view is let's spend.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35They've headed into the North Wessex Downs,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37and the village of Pewsey.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42It's a rather splendid premises.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Their next shopping destination has a very Eastern feel.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52ASIAN-INSPIRED MUSIC PLAYS
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Does this bringing back memories of tours of yesteryear?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57The only thing I ever brought back from anywhere was rugs.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Oh, right.- They're very easy to fold up, put in cricket bags.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03You got rid of all the cricket kit, brought back your rugs.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Textile printing block.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07OK.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Do you think they come free with the basket? Oh, no, they don't.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12THEY CHUCKLE
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- £48.- Just need a few white...
0:19:15 > 0:19:18A few white T-shirts, you can set up a business.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19What a good idea.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Fabulous pictures.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Look at this man.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28What's this?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Nice, but not Indian.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Mr Gower.- Mr Ross.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Come here. Instantly.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Si!- English.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Antique. Plate camera.
0:19:42 > 0:19:441870. Oh.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48This is the sort of things they used to take photographs
0:19:48 > 0:19:50of the old touring teams with, before your time. Right.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Go on, take it.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54We have a large flash.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- London maker. Box.- Right.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Lens. Hope to find a signature on the lens.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04What do we need on a lens? Name. We need a name.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Oh, name, OK.- There we are. - Do you know what you're doing?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Delmar. I don't know the name Delmar, but London maker,
0:20:11 > 0:20:12and it's got a number on it.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- So from that number, you would be able to date it.- Right.
0:20:18 > 0:20:201870 or whatever.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Brilliant. Cos it looks... Actually, if it's that old,
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- it does look in... - It's in remarkable condition.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26It's in very good condition, yeah.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29It's in fabulous condition. That, I assume, is its original box.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35That brass banding on there, fabulous.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I'm extremely excited about this.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39What's it worth?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I wouldn't... I would have absolutely no experience.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I'll tell you, this wheel thing works.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50- I mean, if you split that up, as a valuation...- Yeah.
0:20:50 > 0:20:57..the box itself must be 50 to 80 quid.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00The lens must beat 40 to 60 quid.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03This box, the holding box, must be worth 50 quid.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Got to be...
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I would think, 200 to £300 worth.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11That's one possible,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14though likely to cost them more than half their budget.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Anything else?- What are you looking at over there?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Oh, there is just this... - What is it?- Trinket item.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24This, this is a tiffin box or lunchbox.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Tiffin carriers, or dabbas, are tiered lunchboxes,
0:21:29 > 0:21:34which first became popular in colonial India around the 1880s.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36So that is in the same sort of vain...
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Keep your chapatis warm.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Yeah.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- How much?- Well, on the ticket, £75.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Time for a spot of bartering, methinks.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Richard!
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Richard, he quite likes your chapatti box.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- What we really like is this camera. - I love...
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Well, it's... I walked in here, and of course
0:21:59 > 0:22:02it's different to everything else here because it's English.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04But it did come from India.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Did it? Well, do you know, I said that to David.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10I said, I wondered if those wonderful pictures on the wall
0:22:10 > 0:22:14of those fabulous Maharaja sort of people was taken with one of these.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Well, obviously somebody quite wealthy in India bought it.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19You bought it in India?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Mm.- How fascinating!
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Do you know what I'm asking for it?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- No.- No, you'll have to tell us. - I've got 340 on it.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- 340?- I'm just pulling back on your joystick.- 175...
0:22:31 > 0:22:33If you could do 210, we might have a deal.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35210? 210 and we're done.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Well done.- Are you...? Are you happy with that, Richard?
0:22:38 > 0:22:39- I'm happy.- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Cos I think that's well worth the money.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Thank you.- Yeah, it's a beautiful thing.- Well worth the money.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47The 19th-century plate camera has cost this pair well
0:22:47 > 0:22:50over half their starting budget.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55But is that £75 chapatti box still a contender?
0:22:55 > 0:22:59I quite like these things. I spent a lot of time in India over the years,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01but we need to come down, because...
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Well, we've done the deal on the camera.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Yeah.- So I am going to be quite generous.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10What about we start talking in the region of £45?
0:23:10 > 0:23:1145...
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Tell you what, 25, and, whatever I can find in my pocket, for change,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18you can have the change. OK, what have we got?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22OK, here we are. So that adds up to...
0:23:22 > 0:23:26£1.50, 70, 90, a couple of quid's worth.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28So that's 27 quid. You know you want to.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Go on, go on.- 27. Done.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- Good man.- Thanks, David.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Thank you. OK, so, I'll give you that. Another couple of those...
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- Yeah.- And we're done. - And we're done.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Mr Gower...- Good, eh? Good deal.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46A very generous discount sees them leave with the brass chapatti
0:23:46 > 0:23:48box for £27
0:23:48 > 0:23:50and the camera for £210.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Snap that!
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- CHARLIE GROANS - Carry on, Mr Gower!
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- Quick, quick, come on.- And so ends a very successful first day
0:23:58 > 0:24:00of shopping for David and Charlie.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Mind your back. - Yes, it's fine for you.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07- Come on!- I think old Jeeves there needs a bit of a rest, don't you?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- Bless his heart. - Sorry, Mr Gower, sir.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- Sorry, sir.- Nighty-night.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21MUSIC: Good Morning by Nacio Herb Brown, Arthur Freed
0:24:21 > 0:24:24What's the mood with our celebrities today?
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- How was your first day? - I felt very timid.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- I suddenly...- That's not you.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33In my case, Charlie found something with...
0:24:33 > 0:24:35"Hang on, have a look at this, this is interesting."
0:24:35 > 0:24:37And he'd go, "Ah, fantastic!"
0:24:37 > 0:24:40You know, it helps, someone with the practised eye.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45And did our experts enjoy their company yesterday?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- How did you get on, Roscoe? - It was wonderful.- Was it?
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Absolutely wonderful.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Driving around the countryside and shopping with one of the legends
0:24:53 > 0:24:56of the game. One of my heroes of all time!
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Do you know? That's what Gower said to me!
0:24:58 > 0:24:59THEY LAUGH
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Well, one of the highlights for me yesterday was seeing Hancock in the
0:25:02 > 0:25:05middle of a river, with his trousers still on.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- You went fishing, didn't you? - Barefoot, no wellies,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09no socks, no shoes,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12trousers on, up to his thighs in water.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17Well, let's hope today goes swimmingly. Ha-ha!
0:25:17 > 0:25:19David and Charlie are well on their way,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21with three items in the old bag.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23The Chad Valley model of the Queen Mary,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25the 19th-century camera,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27and the chapatti box, as you do...
0:25:29 > 0:25:33..leaving them £123 to spend today.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38While Nick and Phil have only bought one thing so far,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40the 1955 framed photograph
0:25:40 > 0:25:44of the Oxford and Cambridge University relay teams.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- Is there a Hancock on there?- Yeah, there is a Hancock. There you are.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Which means that they have a whopping £375 still to spend.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Cheers, thank you.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57KLAXON HONKS
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Look, look!
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Look at that!
0:26:00 > 0:26:02I bet this is the first time a Ford Anglia has ever been seen
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- in front of this house. - And the last!
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- Oh, bravo!- Well done!
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Marvellous.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15David's very keen to get off, he's left the engine running.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Shall we set off?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19We've got a lot of items to get, so we need to go.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20We've done our shopping.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I'd like to say good luck, but don't feel like it.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Really?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- OK, we'll get on with it.- Someone's had their porridge this morning.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28The truth is, Mr Ross,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30you've been under surveillance for quite some time.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Bye!
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- OK, old boy, good luck. - And they're off.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43So, there's something deep inside me that's intimidated by Roscoe and by
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Gower, and I think it's because they're posh.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- And there's one other thing as well. - What's that?- Ability.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Posh and better than us.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Yeah. And that sort of...
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Yeah, you're right, intimidating.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01- Anyway...- Do you not feel that we're the plucky outsiders?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Yeah, well, no-one expects us to win, so it'll be nice if we do.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Least of all us! - Yeah, well, what's...?
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Better to travel in expectation than arrive in disappointment.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11- Yes, yes.- This morning,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14David and Charlie will start their shopping
0:27:14 > 0:27:16in Hampshire's largest city,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Southampton.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19We've got to buy two more things, David.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Right, OK.- We've got 123 quid left.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- Yeah.- And we're going to a shop that specialises in nautical things.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- Right.- Yeah, the next port of call is Cobwebs.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- Pull her in here, Gower. - I'll do me best.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Right, OK.- After you, Gower.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- Thank you.- I wouldn't want to do the Monte Carlo Rally in that,
0:27:41 > 0:27:42really.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Good morning. Peter?- Good morning.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53It's time to divide and conquer.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- David...- Ross.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I've found an old radio.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Bakelite.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It's German manufactured.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22This 1950s radio was made by the German factory Graetz,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24who, after the Second World War,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27specialised in making radios and televisions.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32But it's in a real Art Deco style.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- I love it!- Right, if we take one of those off...- Yeah.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- ..on the assumption one of those is superfluous.- Yeah.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Mind you, I might get a good price for you.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Thank you very much!
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Cheap at half the price!
0:28:44 > 0:28:46£35.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Peter, is there much flexibility in this?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51There's a bit of flexibility.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Yeah, I've got it here!
0:28:53 > 0:28:55CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:28:55 > 0:28:57I could probably do it for 30.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59The thing is, I've got the cash.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- Oh, OK.- And when I say that, there's not much of it.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04THEY LAUGH
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Can we just nudge it down a little bit, please?
0:29:08 > 0:29:12- 25.- 25?- £10 discount? Very kind, grazie.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Yes, we could. I think that's very...
0:29:14 > 0:29:15OK, thank you very much indeed.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19That's one purchase done and dusted.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23But something caught David's eye earlier.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- I'm assuming it is a navigational light.- It is, yeah.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32- From...- It's quite heavy.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37It's copper, it's 1930s, it still has its original burner inside.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- It's in a lovely condition.- What I also like about it is the motto,
0:29:40 > 0:29:42or whatever it is. "Not under command."
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- Is that very appropriate?- That rings a bell with me, that's for sure.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48I'd like to... I've always tried to be not under command.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49What are we looking at?
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Oh, look, I've already reduced it, £145.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Yeah, that was a misprint.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00With £25 spent on the radio,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03David has just £98 left in his pocket.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- 95.- 95?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- And that is it.- Is it?
0:30:08 > 0:30:09Yep.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10Well, that's generous.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- Not even to 90?- No.- Or 85?- No.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18- 95.- 95.- 95.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- Thank you, David. - What a successful visit!
0:30:23 > 0:30:24A Bakelite radio,
0:30:24 > 0:30:27and the 1930s lantern,
0:30:27 > 0:30:28for a total of £120.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- Fantastic.- Thank you. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- Nice to have met you.- Thank you.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Thank you for entertaining us with your wonderful shop.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39And we're off to make a profit.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40Good.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Good work, team.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43Car's over here.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Meanwhile, Nick and Phil are in the New Forest,
0:30:54 > 0:30:57and on the way to the town of Lyndhurst.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06We've sort of set our stall out to try and avoid traditional antiques,
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- haven't we?- Yes.- With our one lot that we've bought.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Yes, £25. We've got £375 left.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17And I'm thinking we just offer 375 quid for the first thing we see.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20That's one way of doing it.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22They're off to Lyndhurst Antiques Centre.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Focus.- Focused, I'm focused.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Hello.- Hi.- Hello.- Hi, I'm Nick.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Hi, Nick. I'm Jan.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35Nice to meet you, Jan.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36- And who is this?- Harry.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- Harry, how are you?- Hello, Nick.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39Welcome to Lyndhurst.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Jason has been trading from here for five years
0:31:43 > 0:31:46and has accumulated a varied stock.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48So what will take Nick and Phil's fancy?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Nick, have a look at these, look.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55How the world has changed!
0:31:55 > 0:31:56That's a marrow scoop.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Is that vegetable marrow?
0:31:58 > 0:32:00No, no. Bone marrow. Bone marrow.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04You would use that for scooping out the marrow out of the spine.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Our Georgian forefathers made bits of silver
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- so you could eat this stuff. - Yeah.- Bonkers, isn't it?- It is.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12Moving on.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16We said about cricket bats, didn't we?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- Yeah.- Ohhh!
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Look at this. It's a David Gower Gray-Nicolls bat.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26And how much do they want us...
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- Are they going to pay us to take it away, are they?- 29 quid!
0:32:29 > 0:32:30What impresses me more than anything is
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- the signature is joined up writing.- Yes.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- Yes, someone must have done it for him actually.- Yeah.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37- Perhaps he had a man to do it. - I think we should buy it.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Yeah, I do. Because I think that'll do...
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- Let's see.- Do you know what?
0:32:41 > 0:32:42I think this...
0:32:42 > 0:32:44You're thinking it's going to make less than the purchase price,
0:32:44 > 0:32:45- don't you?- Oh, yes.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I'm kind of thinking that with him in the auction, it might make more.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Time for a bit of haggling.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Now, we've seen this rather lovely bat.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55You've got it marked up for £29.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- That is correct. - What's the best you could do?
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Well, how about I said...
0:33:02 > 0:33:04..£22, Nick?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Because it has David Gower's name on it,
0:33:08 > 0:33:11and I respect and, let's face it, love that man...
0:33:13 > 0:33:14..it's marked up at 29...
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- ..I'm going to give you 30. - What are you doing?
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- Giving 30...on the grounds that... - Has he seen this programme?
0:33:21 > 0:33:22Shake my hand.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24I will do, I will do!
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- What are you doing? - Look, the more money we pay for it,
0:33:27 > 0:33:28the more respect we have for David,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31but also the more it will lose,
0:33:31 > 0:33:33and the more that will knock his confidence.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35- I like that a lot. - Thank you very much.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- You've got to say you choose it. - Oh, great. Thanks very much.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42- Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.- Thanks for coming. - Thank you, thank you, thank you.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43HE BARKS
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Well, at least they bought something.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47That's all right, isn't it?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50While Nick and Phil make their way to their last shop,
0:33:50 > 0:33:53David and Charlie are done with buying,
0:33:53 > 0:33:54and are en route to Portsmouth.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57You've got a bit of a naval connection somewhere in the family.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01My uncle John, he was commanding during the Second World War.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03He was off the beaches for D-Day.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Conscription, National Service...
0:34:07 > 0:34:09A bit of a charmed life, really.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Oh, yes.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15A significant naval port for centuries,
0:34:15 > 0:34:19Portsmouth has the world's oldest drydock,
0:34:19 > 0:34:22where there's currently a warship with a fascinating story to tell.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28David and Charlie are here to learn about HMS Warrior,
0:34:28 > 0:34:30and how in the mid-19th century,
0:34:30 > 0:34:33the modern world of engineering developed
0:34:33 > 0:34:36this new terror of the seas.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39The ultimate demonstration of Britain's industrial might
0:34:39 > 0:34:40and naval power.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45Shipwright Bob Daubeney knows the story.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56Commissioned in 1859 to counter the French battleship La Gloire,
0:34:56 > 0:35:00HMS Warrior was the brainchild of the first Lord of the Admiralty,
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Sir John Somerset Packington.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10She was the most powerful,
0:35:10 > 0:35:13heaviest built battleship of her time when she was launched.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17You'll see she has masts and funnels.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20She's in that transition between sail and steam.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22The early days of power.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27She was capable of 17.5 knots with a mix of steam and sail.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30She could get 14.5 knots with just steam.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33She could get a good 13 knots with just the sail.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36With France seen as a real threat,
0:35:36 > 0:35:38the British Navy were determined to make
0:35:38 > 0:35:42a stronger, faster, more powerfully armed ship
0:35:42 > 0:35:44that was superior to the French vessel.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48What was the comparison between La Gloire, the French ship,
0:35:48 > 0:35:52and Warrior, then? In terms of size, efficiency, capacity?
0:35:52 > 0:35:56We were a good two thirds bigger than La Gloire,
0:35:56 > 0:35:59so the English decided, let's make an iron one,
0:35:59 > 0:36:01we will put similar armour on the outside,
0:36:01 > 0:36:03we'll add a bit of teak in between, 18 inches,
0:36:03 > 0:36:05to act as a shock absorber.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07So she was so strong,
0:36:07 > 0:36:08so sturdy,
0:36:08 > 0:36:10nothing would touch it in its day.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12So we were concerned at the time that the French
0:36:12 > 0:36:14might be invading at any time?
0:36:14 > 0:36:17It was Napoleon III was playing up a bit.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19- LAUGHTER - I like that version.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23And there's always this niggle between the two of us, isn't there?
0:36:23 > 0:36:27Warrior was the embodiment of the Industrial Revolution at sea.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31La Gloire had been a crushing blow to national pride,
0:36:31 > 0:36:33a wake-up call to the British Navy,
0:36:33 > 0:36:38and a reminder that the French threat was still alive and well.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40So, the Admiralty upped the ante.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44Warrior was fitted with artillery bigger and more powerful
0:36:44 > 0:36:45than any other warship ever built.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- All aboard!- If you'd would like to come this way...- Yep.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50Walk this way.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00So, here we have one of the Armstrong 110 pounders.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03One of the most powerful weapons of its day.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05You've also got rifled barrels,
0:37:05 > 0:37:07so the projectile that's fired spins,
0:37:07 > 0:37:09and has much greater accuracy.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10- Yeah.- How many of these on board?
0:37:10 > 0:37:13We've got ten of these. Eight down below,
0:37:13 > 0:37:14two on the upper deck.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17This is the bow chaser, there's a stern chaser.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18If you are chasing, or being followed.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20She can fire from four different positions.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- Gosh!- The enemy just haven't got a chance.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- They haven't! - This will shoot 2.5 miles?
0:37:25 > 0:37:272.5 miles.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Though on the upper deck,
0:37:28 > 0:37:30because you can get a much greater trajectory,
0:37:30 > 0:37:32it's possible it would have gone further.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Despite all the technology available at the time,
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- wasn't there a bit of a problem, I hear, with the launching?- Yes.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41You've got to be looking at one of the coldest winters on record
0:37:41 > 0:37:44in 1860.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46And when she was actually supposed to launch,
0:37:46 > 0:37:48she was frozen to the slipway.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51They had fore-thought of this.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55They'd lit braziers below, just doesn't generate that much heat.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57So when they'd actually got everything free,
0:37:57 > 0:38:00they brought in hydraulic rams to try and push her down the slipway.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02They even got all of the men on board.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03If you look at the width of her,
0:38:03 > 0:38:05they were running from one side to the other,
0:38:05 > 0:38:07all in time with each other
0:38:07 > 0:38:10to get a rocking motion just to try and break her free,
0:38:10 > 0:38:13so she would slide down the slipway, and out into the Thames.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15And they succeeded.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Go on, Gower. Go on, Gower.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Come on. One more!
0:38:20 > 0:38:21LAUGHTER
0:38:23 > 0:38:27He's going to run four! Unheard of!
0:38:27 > 0:38:28We haven't shifted yet!
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Britain had yet again established its naval supremacy.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38No other ship in the world could compete,
0:38:38 > 0:38:41but Warrior never fired a shot in anger.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43She acted as the ultimate deterrent,
0:38:43 > 0:38:48and that's why she was for a time the supreme ship of the seas,
0:38:48 > 0:38:52and a supreme demonstration of Britain's industrial power.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00Back in the Sunbeam,
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Nick and Phil are motoring their way to Southsea,
0:39:03 > 0:39:05to splash the last of their cash.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10They're heading to Parmeters,
0:39:10 > 0:39:14a shop which prides itself on stocking weird and unusual antiques.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- Ian, where are you? - Should suit these two, then.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- Welcome to Southsea. - How are you, mate? All right?
0:39:21 > 0:39:22- How are you?- This is Nick.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Good to see you. How are you?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27With £345 left to spend,
0:39:27 > 0:39:29they'd better get a shifty on.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35I reckon we need a plan, here.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- Perhaps a bit of silver or something.- Yes.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41How does it work?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44I always find it's best to take your glasses off.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45Yeah, what a fine idea. Yeah.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Hold it right close to the thing.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51- Oh, yeah, I've got it.- Got it?
0:39:51 > 0:39:52Yeah.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53It's Birmingham.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Yeah. Brummage-ham.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- Anchor? - HE JABBERS IN "BRUMMIE"
0:40:00 > 0:40:01Got to focus here.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05- I know, I know.- All about profit, this, it's all about profit.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09Is there any profit in these Regency-style cornice pieces?
0:40:09 > 0:40:13I know that somebody would have a place for these.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15And would really know what to do with them.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18And I like them because there doesn't seem to be much damage.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Quite the expert now, aren't you, Nick?
0:40:20 > 0:40:21You know, you could use it...
0:40:21 > 0:40:24You could use it above windows, as a pelmet.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26You could use it as a mantelpiece.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28You could use it...
0:40:28 > 0:40:31on the floor. You know, you could use it to frame something.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34I think they were made as a pelmet for a bed.
0:40:34 > 0:40:39- OK.- Ticket price on those is £120.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40They're one possible.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43Anything else?
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- This.- Oh, another reel.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49I quite like... You've obviously got... That's nice...
0:40:49 > 0:40:51100... Get my glasses out. And have a proper look at it.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- That's an Allcock.- Lovely.
0:40:54 > 0:40:55And it's got...
0:40:57 > 0:40:59I'm seeing if it's got silk line on it or not.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00It's the original... Yeah.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03That's definitely a possible.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06I'm going to have to calm down. I'm getting overexcited.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07Like a child in a toy shop.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Something else has caught Nick's eye.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12These are good.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14- What's that? - Ship heads.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16- Oh, yeah, yeah.- One there,
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- and I think there's one behind you actually.- Oh, yeah.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21In times gone by,
0:41:21 > 0:41:24figureheads embodied the spirit of a ship,
0:41:24 > 0:41:27and were originally believed to placate the gods of the sea,
0:41:27 > 0:41:29and ensure a safe passage.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32They're from a hotel in Bournemouth.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- And how much are they? - A lot of money.
0:41:35 > 0:41:36500 each.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Some things are better just to look at aren't they, really?
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Well, we'll think about it.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42Keep thinking then.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Who's that on the shelf?
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Is that Sir Thomas More?
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- I think it could be. - I think it is Sir Thomas More.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52It's made of plaster with a bronze resin over the top.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53OK.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57I don't know whether Sir Thomas More is a big name in Sidcup.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59But, you know, we can find out.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Asking price for this bust of Sir Thomas More
0:42:02 > 0:42:03is £120.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08He served as a key counsellor to Henry VIII,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10and was famously beheaded,
0:42:10 > 0:42:14for refusing to accept the King as head of the Church of England.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15Time to make some decisions.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21I really like, which I know are very expensive,
0:42:21 > 0:42:25the two plaster ship-head-type decorative things.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29I'd like you to tell us what the price is for the ship's head
0:42:29 > 0:42:33that's not a ship's head, the bed frame that's not a bed frame...
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- It's a cornice, Phil. - ..and the bust.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39So, what's the absolute finish on those, then?
0:42:40 > 0:42:42- How much have you got?- Ah!
0:42:43 > 0:42:47We have 345 English pounds.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Which I think is on the way,
0:42:51 > 0:42:53but with a fair wind from your good self,
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- we might get there.- I could do 340 quid and leave you with a fiver
0:42:57 > 0:42:58to spend in the pub.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00- For...- All three items.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Ian has been incredibly kind.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08That's the ship's figurehead for £165.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12The Sir Thomas More bust for £110.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16And the decorative Regency cornice for £65.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19I promise you there's 340 there.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21- You can count it if you want. - Marvellous, I believe you.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23- Thank you very much. - Thank YOU very much.
0:43:23 > 0:43:24Bye-bye.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27I think we swam the Channel there, I really do.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30But Nick isn't finished shopping just yet.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32What is he up to?
0:43:32 > 0:43:34No good, by the looks of it.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39This is not an antiques shop.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42I don't know where Hancock's got to.
0:43:45 > 0:43:46Spent the fiver.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48It's nice here, I quite like it.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50- Phil, I spent the fiver. - What have you bought?
0:43:50 > 0:43:51I did a deal. I have bought...
0:43:51 > 0:43:53LAUGHTER
0:43:53 > 0:43:55- And what we are going to do... - A beach cricket set.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57A beach cricket set. And what we do is take the bat out,
0:43:57 > 0:43:59put Gower's bat in it,
0:43:59 > 0:44:02cheap and nasty to go with the rest of the set.
0:44:02 > 0:44:03- So we're all spent up! - That's ideal.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05Come on, matey.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08Right, time for our teams to reunite.
0:44:08 > 0:44:12But will they be bowled over with each other's buys?
0:44:12 > 0:44:14Would you like to see what we've bought?
0:44:14 > 0:44:16Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can't wait.
0:44:16 > 0:44:17There we go.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20Oh, my...!
0:44:20 > 0:44:22Hang on, there's as a bonus extra.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24OK. Right. This is called a ra-d-io.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26- Thanks very much.- Wireless.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29Navigation light. It's genuine, it's 1930.
0:44:29 > 0:44:30Can I ask you some money questions?
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Like, how much was that?
0:44:33 > 0:44:3425.
0:44:34 > 0:44:35That's OK.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37How much was that?
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Well, that goes with that and that and that.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42- £210.- 210.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45That's a good buy. That's a very good buy.
0:44:45 > 0:44:46Everything's the same colour!
0:44:47 > 0:44:49It is this year's colour.
0:44:49 > 0:44:50We've bought on colour, haven't we?
0:44:50 > 0:44:52Because I'm easily impressed,
0:44:52 > 0:44:54very superficial.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56Do you want to see some proper things?
0:44:56 > 0:44:57- Yes, yes, I would love to. - Step this way.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59I'm losing confidence in it now.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01I must admit I'm beginning to worry a bit.
0:45:01 > 0:45:02I'll go around the front and do it.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04I've got to tell you, some of the things we bought
0:45:04 > 0:45:06- we don't know what they are. - Right.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08David will be able to tell you.
0:45:08 > 0:45:11Are we ready? Three, two, one, go.
0:45:14 > 0:45:15I think we know what those are.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17We will leave it to the end.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20This is a bust of Sir Thomas Moore, maybe.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22It's got the same hat.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24Yeah, that's why we're going for it.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27But the thing about this is if you push the head back,
0:45:27 > 0:45:29the Batcave opens,
0:45:29 > 0:45:31- so that's quite good. - LAUGHTER
0:45:31 > 0:45:35And talking of bats, what we have got here is a cheap, nasty,
0:45:35 > 0:45:38unpleasant beach cricket set,
0:45:38 > 0:45:41with a relevant sort of a bat.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43- The David Gower Gray-Nicolls...- No!
0:45:45 > 0:45:48I think we should show it in its full glory, don't you?
0:45:48 > 0:45:50Oh...
0:45:50 > 0:45:51It could be a fake.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Oh, we're never going to get it out.
0:45:53 > 0:45:54There it is.
0:45:54 > 0:45:55Look at that.
0:45:55 > 0:45:56Oh!
0:45:56 > 0:45:59- It's lovely.- And do you know what makes it so rare?
0:45:59 > 0:46:00It's unsigned. Yeah.
0:46:00 > 0:46:01LAUGHTER
0:46:01 > 0:46:02And look at that.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04This is our figurehead, Charlie.
0:46:04 > 0:46:05She's splendid. Where did you find her?
0:46:05 > 0:46:08- How much is she worth?- She was...
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Have a guess how much she was.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12I think she was, um...
0:46:12 > 0:46:14£165.
0:46:16 > 0:46:17Come on.
0:46:17 > 0:46:21And not only has he seen it before, he's cheating!
0:46:21 > 0:46:22No, what did it cost?
0:46:23 > 0:46:25I promise you I haven't got a clue what it cost.
0:46:25 > 0:46:26£165.
0:46:26 > 0:46:27- It didn't! - LAUGHTER
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Mr Gower. Did it really?
0:46:31 > 0:46:34Yes, it cost £165.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36He knows these things, he's an expert.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38I think you have done well, chaps.
0:46:38 > 0:46:39Good luck, see you at the auction.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41All good, all good.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43Why did you let me buy it?
0:46:43 > 0:46:44Bye-bye. Gower!
0:46:44 > 0:46:45Come on.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47Behind the backs of their rivals,
0:46:47 > 0:46:49they will spill the beans.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51What do you think?
0:46:51 > 0:46:53Apart from losing confidence in ours...
0:46:54 > 0:46:56..I'm sure their stuff is good.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58You got very excited about the camera, didn't you?
0:46:58 > 0:47:01I think that it's all about that camera.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03If it's on the net,
0:47:03 > 0:47:04and people pick up on that,
0:47:04 > 0:47:07that could make them a serious profit.
0:47:07 > 0:47:08I'm quite encouraged.
0:47:08 > 0:47:12Their lady I thought it's a sort of complete...
0:47:12 > 0:47:15- That's a quirk.- It looked like wood I have, to say, from a distance.
0:47:15 > 0:47:16Yeah. So, who knows?
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Who's going to buy it?
0:47:18 > 0:47:20- Not me.- I wouldn't change anything we've got.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22No.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24I wouldn't! What else were we going to buy?
0:47:24 > 0:47:26No, no, I'm very happy with what we've bought.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29Which would you rather have? Our lot or their lot?
0:47:29 > 0:47:31Of course, ours.
0:47:31 > 0:47:32- Of course, ours.- Good man.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35- Are we going to win? - It's in the bag!
0:47:36 > 0:47:38After starting in Salisbury,
0:47:38 > 0:47:39our teams have shopped
0:47:39 > 0:47:41all around Hampshire,
0:47:41 > 0:47:42and now our sporting chaps,
0:47:42 > 0:47:43David and Nick,
0:47:43 > 0:47:45are motoring towards Sidcup
0:47:45 > 0:47:46for the grand finale.
0:47:48 > 0:47:49Have you ever been to Sidcup before?
0:47:49 > 0:47:52I have, I've been to Sidcup many, many times.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55How memorable was it last time?
0:47:55 > 0:47:58It was... Well, I think today is going to be very much
0:47:58 > 0:48:00the most exciting time I've been to Sidcup.
0:48:00 > 0:48:01Here's hoping, Nick.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Where are they? Do you think they will be late?
0:48:09 > 0:48:12They're touring this wonderful metropolis.
0:48:12 > 0:48:13Here they come. LOW RUMBLING
0:48:13 > 0:48:14Oh, listen.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16There they are.
0:48:16 > 0:48:17Greetings.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Shall we go and open the doors?
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Yes, I might as well.
0:48:21 > 0:48:22See if you keep the handle on.
0:48:22 > 0:48:23Lord Gower, sir.
0:48:25 > 0:48:29On this trip, Charlie and David spent £397 on five auction lots.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32Come on in!
0:48:32 > 0:48:34Nick and Phil also bought five lots,
0:48:34 > 0:48:37and spent every last penny of their £400.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41The man with the gavel is Alex Jenkins.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43What does he make of everyone's lots?
0:48:44 > 0:48:46The camera and lens is a fine item.
0:48:46 > 0:48:50It is a good-looking thing even as an aesthetic in the corner.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52It's got all the equipment, it's the most complete set I've seen
0:48:52 > 0:48:55in a long time, very nice, should do good.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57The ship's head is a great looking lot.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59It got attention as soon as it came into the auction.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Lovely, big statement piece,
0:49:01 > 0:49:03conversation piece, and it is what everyone wants.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05It'll go into a nice design, go into retail.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07I think that's going to be the surprise hit of the auction.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10Right, time for the auction,
0:49:10 > 0:49:13which has buyers online, on the phone, and in the room.
0:49:16 > 0:49:17Just going to check my pulse.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19- Quite exciting. - Is there one?
0:49:19 > 0:49:21There hasn't been for a long time.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24First up is David's chapati box.
0:49:24 > 0:49:25Hungry?
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Starts on the book here with me at £16.
0:49:28 > 0:49:2918, we need, now.
0:49:29 > 0:49:34£16. 18's there, 20, 22's yours, 24 now.
0:49:34 > 0:49:3522 in the room, 24 we need.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37Looking for 24.
0:49:37 > 0:49:38At £22 and selling...
0:49:40 > 0:49:43Not a great start to the proceedings.
0:49:43 > 0:49:44Well, you lost money.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46That's a certain KORMA about that, isn't there?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49- LAUGHTER - Dearie me.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54Next up, Nick's Regency-inspired cornice.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56Start them at 30.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59£30 in. There we go, 32, 34, 36.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01- Here we go, here we go.- 36 it is.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03At £36. Anywhere else now?
0:50:03 > 0:50:04Should be!
0:50:04 > 0:50:0565?
0:50:05 > 0:50:07- At £36...- No!
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Gower.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13Oh, don't celebrate someone else's failure!
0:50:13 > 0:50:16No. Not very sporting, Mr Ross.
0:50:16 > 0:50:17It's not enough to succeed.
0:50:17 > 0:50:19Your friends have to fail.
0:50:19 > 0:50:20It is one of those, isn't it?
0:50:22 > 0:50:26Let's see if David and Charlie's German radio can do any better.
0:50:26 > 0:50:2822's here, £24 we're looking for.
0:50:29 > 0:50:3126, 28's yours.

0:50:33 > 0:50:35- £3 up.- At £28, 30 we need.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37At £28, all done?
0:50:37 > 0:50:38At 28...
0:50:39 > 0:50:41And they're off the mark.
0:50:41 > 0:50:42Gosh!
0:50:42 > 0:50:43Could've been worse.
0:50:45 > 0:50:49Can Nick and Phil's Oxbridge photo get them started?
0:50:49 > 0:50:52£8 for it. £8 there, £9 needed.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54Nine's in, ten.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57Ten? It's overpriced.
0:50:57 > 0:50:5914 it is, at £14.
0:50:59 > 0:51:02Any more? All done at 14?
0:51:02 > 0:51:03Out for a googly.
0:51:04 > 0:51:05Bad luck, chaps.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10David, in cricketing terms, how would you think this is going?
0:51:10 > 0:51:11We are probably...
0:51:12 > 0:51:13..40-4 at the moment.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15- Yeah.- If we're lucky.
0:51:15 > 0:51:18Can a navigation lamp light up the score
0:51:18 > 0:51:20for David and Charlie?
0:51:20 > 0:51:22Starts in straight at £80.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24- 85 we need now.- Not bad, not bad.
0:51:24 > 0:51:28£80 I have, 85 we need, 85 it is, 90, 95.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30Hang on, it costs 95!
0:51:31 > 0:51:32100 it is.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34At 100 on the book, 110 we need.
0:51:34 > 0:51:35Just another tenner.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37Profit, profit, profit.
0:51:37 > 0:51:39110 is in, I am out.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42At 110 in the room, 120 we want.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45At 110, selling at 110.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Another win puts team Gower in the lead.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52Well done, Dave.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54This is going to be very, very close.
0:51:54 > 0:51:58Let's see how Nick and Phil's Sir Thomas Moore bust will do.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01£60 on this one, 60 I have.
0:52:01 > 0:52:03- 65 we need now.- Ooh!
0:52:03 > 0:52:0565 on the phone, 70.
0:52:05 > 0:52:0670.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08- 75.- It is coming, it is coming.
0:52:09 > 0:52:1175's in, 80.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13Yes...
0:52:13 > 0:52:1475 it is, £80 we need.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17At £75 and selling at 75...
0:52:18 > 0:52:20Do you know for one minute,
0:52:20 > 0:52:23- I thought we were going to make a profit there?- Well, it's a pattern!
0:52:23 > 0:52:25Another loss. They'll be back in the pavilion soon.
0:52:27 > 0:52:28You know you said 40-4?
0:52:28 > 0:52:30I think we just lost another few wickets.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32- Just lost a couple more there.- Yeah.
0:52:33 > 0:52:35David's Queen Mary model is next to go.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39- It starts in at...- Yes? - How much was it?- 40.

0:52:47 > 0:52:4955, 60.
0:52:49 > 0:52:5155 it is, on my right.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53At £55, all done?
0:52:53 > 0:52:55Selling at 55...
0:52:56 > 0:52:58That's a respectable return.
0:52:59 > 0:53:03- Profit.- It is profit.- Well done.- It is profit, well done, mate.
0:53:03 > 0:53:04Well done.
0:53:05 > 0:53:07Next up, the cricket set.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10Hang on, Gower's batting for the wrong team!
0:53:10 > 0:53:12- Shall we start with two? - LAUGHTER
0:53:12 > 0:53:13That's hundred.

0:53:25 > 0:53:2715, 15 is a nice number.
0:53:27 > 0:53:2815, have we got 15?
0:53:28 > 0:53:3015 it is, 18 is in.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32See, the ladies are going now.
0:53:32 > 0:53:3418's there, 20 at the back.
0:53:34 > 0:53:3522.
0:53:35 > 0:53:3622, he is in.
0:53:36 > 0:53:37HE BANGS THE CRICKET GAVEL
0:53:37 > 0:53:38Oh, we've got more!
0:53:38 > 0:53:3924. We've got more!
0:53:39 > 0:53:41- 24.- You just sold it!
0:53:41 > 0:53:42LAUGHTER
0:53:42 > 0:53:4326, 28.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45Are there no phone bids on this?
0:53:45 > 0:53:47No phone bids, surprisingly.

0:54:00 > 0:54:02- 50.- It's a child's... - They're mad for Gower!
0:54:02 > 0:54:0450, 55.

0:54:05 > 0:54:06At £50 and...

0:54:10 > 0:54:12- Thank you, David.- At £50.
0:54:13 > 0:54:1450 it is!
0:54:14 > 0:54:16- APPLAUSE - Well done.- Bravo.
0:54:16 > 0:54:18What an absolute gentleman.
0:54:18 > 0:54:20Well, that backfired for David.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22A £20 profit for the opposition!
0:54:24 > 0:54:26I'll have words with you, Gower.
0:54:26 > 0:54:27What a star. Thank you so much.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33Next up, David and Charlie's final lot.
0:54:33 > 0:54:35The auctioneer's favourite, the 19th-century camera.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40And it starts off on the book here with me at 300.

0:55:22 > 0:55:24Crikey, a healthy profit or what?
0:55:24 > 0:55:26I'm still very disappointed,
0:55:26 > 0:55:28that should have gone for several thousand!
0:55:28 > 0:55:29LAUGHTER
0:55:29 > 0:55:31It's all down to the last lot, then.
0:55:31 > 0:55:33Phil and Nick's ship's figurehead.
0:55:33 > 0:55:37And we start straight in at 250.
0:55:37 > 0:55:38- 260 needed.- What?!

0:56:12 > 0:56:13580.
0:56:15 > 0:56:16600.
0:56:16 > 0:56:17Making more than we did on the camera.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19- One more, madam.- Yes, it is.
0:56:19 > 0:56:21600, 620.
0:56:21 > 0:56:22Oh, a new bidder! New bidder!

0:56:35 > 0:56:37At 740, all done?
0:56:37 > 0:56:39Selling at 740...
0:56:39 > 0:56:40APPLAUSE
0:56:40 > 0:56:42Well done, well done.
0:56:42 > 0:56:44Do you know what?
0:56:44 > 0:56:46I think they should make this just a one-lot programme.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48LAUGHTER
0:56:48 > 0:56:49Listen, it is.
0:56:49 > 0:56:50Yeah, true!
0:56:50 > 0:56:52Hey, well done, chaps.
0:56:52 > 0:56:53A good innings all round.
0:56:54 > 0:56:56That is against all logic.
0:56:56 > 0:56:57LAUGHTER
0:56:57 > 0:56:59What was it, 740?
0:56:59 > 0:57:03What is ridiculous is it's just as illogical one way
0:57:03 > 0:57:05as some of the losses were the other way.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08So, who is the winner?
0:57:08 > 0:57:10Let's find out, shall we?
0:57:10 > 0:57:12David and Charlie started with £400.

0:57:28 > 0:57:32leaving them with a total of £750.30,
0:57:32 > 0:57:34and crowning them as today's winners.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40Congratulations, you two.
0:57:40 > 0:57:41Oh, love it, love it!
0:57:41 > 0:57:43Well done!
0:57:43 > 0:57:44You know what the difference was?
0:57:44 > 0:57:46The David Gower cricket bat.
0:57:46 > 0:57:50David Gower going on the rostrum and working.
0:57:50 > 0:57:52I was excited, it was exciting.
0:57:52 > 0:57:54Come on, then, let's go.
0:57:54 > 0:57:55- Thank you so much.- Thank you, Nick.
0:57:55 > 0:57:57Well done, David.
0:57:57 > 0:57:59Very good effort. All the best.
0:57:59 > 0:58:01Time to hit the road for the final time.
0:58:03 > 0:58:05- Oh! - MOTOR RUMBLES THEN SCRATCHES
0:58:05 > 0:58:06Cheers, Philip.
0:58:07 > 0:58:10- They were great value. - Yeah, good value.- Yeah, good fun.
0:58:11 > 0:58:14I'm not entirely sure that I couldn't make a living at this.
0:58:14 > 0:58:18I am entirely sure that you couldn't make a living doing this.
0:58:18 > 0:58:21Yes, well, I can't make a living doing anything else
0:58:21 > 0:58:24so I may as well do it collecting nice pieces.
0:58:24 > 0:58:26They think it's all over.
0:58:26 > 0:58:27It is for now.
