0:00:09 > 0:00:13- No hands!- Their 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 > 0:00:20- But it's no easy ride.- Ooh!
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Who will find the hidden gem? HORN HONKS
0:00:23 > 0:00:25- Like that.- Who will take the biggest risk?
0:00:25 > 0:00:29- This could end in disaster. - Will anybody follow expert advice?
0:00:29 > 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 > 0:00:39- No, I don't want to shake hands. - Put your pedal to the metal.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40OK, 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!
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Watch out. We've got the boys in blue on today's show.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Actors Bill Simons and Derek Fowlds.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Have we got to win and beat each other?- Yes, we've got to...
0:01:03 > 0:01:06You are going to buy terribly well.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Yes.- You're going to sell terribly well.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Yes.- Unfortunately, it's not going to be good enough.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Well...- I can tell you that now, for a start.- Blimey, Bill!
0:01:16 > 0:01:20The gents have been the best of chums since the '70s
0:01:20 > 0:01:24and are the only actors to star for the whole 18-year run of
0:01:24 > 0:01:27police drama Heartbeat.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29RADA-trained,
0:01:29 > 0:01:34Derek's long and illustrious career in film and TV includes roles in
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Yes Minister and even The Basil Brush Show.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Boom, boom!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40LAUGHTER
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Bill's enjoyed great success over the years with a selection of roles,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48including appearing in The Inspector Alleyne Mysteries.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56During their Road Trip adventure, they'll each have £400 to spend.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- But of course, you have an advantage.- What's that?
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Because so many of the things that we see, you were born with.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- It's true.- Cheeky. LAUGHTER
0:02:07 > 0:02:11In hot pursuit are their Road Trip rozzers,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14PC Happy, AKA Phil Serrell,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and the fabulously wonderful, beautiful Kate Bliss.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Do you know? Of all the people I could have to drive me around in a
0:02:20 > 0:02:22police van, Philip, I would want you.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Well, Kate, I'm so touched. - It's just so fitting, look at you.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Yeah, well, yeah. As long as I could stay in the front of it and not the
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- back of it, I don't mind. - Well, there are bars on the back,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33so if you don't behave, I might shut you in there later.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Thank you very much. - You tell him, girl.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Kate and Phil have the cute-as-a-button
0:02:38 > 0:02:401973 Austin Morris police van.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43It was actually used in Heartbeat.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45There's authenticity for you.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Hold on, Kate, is that an incoming call?- Oh, hang on a minute.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Yeah. Now, I ordered a pizza. - Hello, hello?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- And make sure it's a deep crust one that I like.- Yeah, he says deep crust.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Deep crust, please. - I'll have the extra cheese.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59While the children play,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02the grown-ups are in the flash 1970s Daimler.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07I know I'm going to meet Philip Serrell, because I've met him before
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- and he's very nice.- Is he the one with a scarf?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- You know, I've seen this programme. - Flamboyant, you call him.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Flamboyant, yes.- Phil, flamboyant? LAUGHTER
0:03:17 > 0:03:22We begin proceedings in the splendid North Yorkshire town of Helmsley.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Our Road Trip pals will tour around the county before heading for an
0:03:26 > 0:03:29auction in Ilkley in West Yorkshire.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32So you do know your life of crime is over now?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Phil is going to lay the law down with you.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Hey, here they are!- Yeah, look at that, swinging around.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Yay!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Good morning!- Oh, dear.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Morning, both! - Good morning, gents!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- How are you both?- Hello, Bill.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Lovely to meet you. - Hello, lovely to meet you.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Derek's teaming up with Kate and Bill with flamboyant Phil.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- Shall we get off?- Yes, let's go.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Right, we're going to steal a march on you.- OK, well, we'll take the smooth option, I think.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Come on, Derek, shall I drive? - Yes, please. After you.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Let the competition commence.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Right, belts on, Derek.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Right, here we go.- This is rather stylish, isn't it?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Right, let's leave them for dust. - Oh, stylish.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16GEARS SQUEAK And squeaky.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19And off we jolly well go!
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Oh, isn't this exciting?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Well, Bill, we've got a good dollop of cash. We've got £400.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Got any ideas as to which way we might go with that?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43No, not really. Mainly, I'm thinking of what we have at home.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Yeah. We've only got 400 quid, Bill.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48LAUGHTER
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- If I see something I like. - Yeah.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56And it'll probably cost tuppence ha'penny,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00but it's what, it's...it's an instinctive thing, isn't it?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I think to go on your gut is a good thing when it comes to antiques.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Yeah.- You get a good feeling about something.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- I mean, it would be wonderful to beat Bill, so I can say... - HE JEERS
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- You know.- That's the spirit, Derek. SHE LAUGHS
0:05:12 > 0:05:15This pair are headed for the town of Helmsley in North Yorkshire.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19It's the only market town in the 554 square miles
0:05:19 > 0:05:23of the North York Moors National Park.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Would you look at that?! How pretty is it?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Room For Antiques is Derek's first emporium
0:05:31 > 0:05:32to have a good old forage in.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- It's just here, I think.- Yeah, looks good.- Should we have a look?
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Yeah.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42This looks wonderful.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Under the wise eye of Kate,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47what can we find in here?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49This is a lovely little novelty.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51What do you think of that?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- What is it? - It's a little novelty cat...- Yes...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- ..and she's got a brass ball... - A brass ball...
0:05:57 > 0:06:00..and in the brass ball is...
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Hey!- ..a little tape measure.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Look at that!- The ticket price here says it's £240.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Yeah.- 240?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I can't get over these prices
0:06:12 > 0:06:15for tiny items.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Yeah, but it's an unusual item.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Yeah, but too steep for our Derek.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Moving on.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27That's a lovely flask, isn't it?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29It is a lovely flask. Have you had hip flasks in the past?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- I'm not telling you. - LAUGHTER
0:06:33 > 0:06:37I think that's a yes. Do you know? That's a really nice example.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- So...- Is it at 45 quid? - It is, so this is pewter.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42- Yes.- With leather.- Yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45And you can see, it's got a lot of age to it.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Pewter would be much more affordable in the Victorian period,
0:06:48 > 0:06:52when this was made. But you of course take that off the bottom
0:06:52 > 0:06:54and you've got a little drinking cup.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56So I would say this is sort of
0:06:56 > 0:06:59very late Victorian, maybe early Edwardian.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Sort of 1900, maybe even 1910.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Time for dealer Judy.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Over to you, Derek. - So, you've got £45 here.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Yes.- Now, what's the,
0:07:11 > 0:07:12what's the deal? Can you...?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Well, I'm thinking about 35.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Can you come down to...
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- 28?- Yes.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25That would be absolutely fine.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Can I jump in and say 25? - You can, you can.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I was expecting you to say £25.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- I don't know why, I was going to say 25 and I thought... - LAUGHTER
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- I best not.- 25 is fine, Derek. - Because I've never done this before.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- I'm a new boy.- 25 is fine.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- You're a star. Thank you very much. - Shall I take that for you?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Thank you.- I think that's lovely. - And I'll pack that up.- Great.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Thank you, Judy.- You're very welcome.- Thank you.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Hey, no flies on you!
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I say, that's a pretty fair first deal, Derek. Well done.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56What about the other pair?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02What I think we've got to try and do is, we want to win this, don't we?
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Oh, definitely. Definitely, what's the point of coming here?
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Exactly, Bill.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11The chaps have poodled their way to the spa town of Harrogate
0:08:11 > 0:08:13in North Yorkshire.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Well, Bill, here we are.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Right, Bill, let's see what you're made of.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25This place is huge.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27With over 50 stalls,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29there's sure to be something to catch your eye in here.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33It's a real treasure trove, isn't it?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Well, there's just stuff everywhere, isn't there?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Are you good on clothes, Phil? - Yeah, I'm good on clothes.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43The clothes just aren't good on me, Bill.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45CHUCKLING
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Most of them don't have enough cloth.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48I don't believe it, Phil!
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- You like luggage, don't you? - I do, I think that's really cool.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- I love the colour.- Yes, really good.- People talk about patina and they always think it's
0:08:56 > 0:08:58furniture that's got patina.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01But, you know, silver has patina, and glass has patina,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04and leather's got patina. I just love...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Yes, yes.- ..the colour of this. - What I think is brilliant about this,
0:09:07 > 0:09:12I can see you carrying that in, overnight, to a hotel.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15PHIL CHUCKLES
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Not too sure about that, Bill.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19But it's priced at £170.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Anything else?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Garden furniture and stuff goes rather...- It can, actually, yeah. - What about those?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Well, shall I get them out? Let's see.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- What were they?- Well, they're old spirit barrels.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Well, not spirits, you probably put more like booze in these,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38beer or whatever, but you've got the tap that goes in there.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- Yeah, right.- You've got a cork bung that would go into here.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46Right, what we want to look for, you know, is any damage to them.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50I think they are quite cool.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53They're salt-glazed.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- So...- Do you have to take them in in the winter, or not?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Advisable to, but when they're in the kiln,
0:09:59 > 0:10:04you chuck salt in the kiln and it gave it, like, this treacly finish.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08And the ideal use, of course, is as a garden stool.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Do you know? He's like a presenter from a shopping channel.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15You should put lights in there and have just a great pair of lights.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Told you.- They're probably turn of the last century.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Late Victorian. And...and the thing with these is,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24you're just trying to sell a look.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- Yes.- There's no price on them. Shall I have a word with Phil?- Why not?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Dealer Phil, you're needed.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- We quite like these.- Mm-hmm?
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- What's the ticket price on these? - 30 each.- 30 each?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38BILL INHALES DEEPLY
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Bill's getting into this.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42We've got a crack down this one, haven't we?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Well, you have now.- It's there, and it's there, and it's there, really.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47OK.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- What could you do the two for, if we took them both?- 50.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56- 50? 40 quid and you'd have a deal? - No, 50.- 45 quid and you'd have a deal?- 45.- 45...
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- And we've got a deal.- 45, 45... - Better shake the man's hand, Bill.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Straight away...
0:11:02 > 0:11:04You've been very kind.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- You're a star. Thank you very much. - You're welcome. Thank you.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Thanks, Bill. Nice to see you.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Cheers, Phil.- All right, you got it?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Well done. The Victorian barrels are this team's first buy.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Back to Derek and Kate in Helmsley.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Here, tell you what I've spotted, Derek.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27These might be up your street.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30What do you think of those cufflinks with golfers on?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Now, you like a bit of golf, don't you?- Oh, yeah, yeah.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- I do.- Well, I can tell you there's a very buoyant market for
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- lovely quality cufflinks.- Yeah. - They're still really good sellers.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40What's the price of that?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Well, they're marked at 140,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45but they do look very nice quality to me.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Judy, could we bother you?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Got my eye on those cufflinks in there.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Let's take a closer look, shall we?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- What do you think, Derek? - Well, I'm a Chelsea supporter.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Oh, there you go, then. - So you've got the Chelsea blue.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Yeah.- I love playing golf.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- We're trying to sell them to other people. - LAUGHTER
0:12:06 > 0:12:07But they are nice, aren't they?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10This is what's known as guilloche enamelling
0:12:10 > 0:12:13and it's an ancient technique, actually.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16It goes right back centuries
0:12:16 > 0:12:20and it's where the silver or the precious metal is engine-turned
0:12:20 > 0:12:22before the enamel is laid over the top,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25and that just gives it a little bit of a,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27sort of, opalescent sheen.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Do you see that? They've got a little bit of a shimmer to them.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Oh, yes, every discerning gentleman should have a quality pair
0:12:34 > 0:12:38of cufflinks. These are priced at £140.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42What would you try and get it down to, then?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Well, if you ask me honestly, I'd like to pay...
0:12:46 > 0:12:50I hope Judy's not listening, but I'd like to pay about £50 for them.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Good luck. Oh, Judy?!
0:12:53 > 0:12:57At auction, I'm thinking around sort of £50 to £60.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I know that's a long way off your price.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02It's too far for me to drop,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05but I could drop to say 80, if that's any help.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- 75?- Oh, Derek... - Please?- He's so quick.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Yes, I'll go to 75 for you, as you are Mr Derek.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15What do you want to do?
0:13:15 > 0:13:1775 smackers.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- We'll do it.- Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Hey, that's good.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Yeah, we've got two.- We have.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- This is, madness, isn't it? - THEY CHUCKLE
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Oh, we're getting better at spending, aren't we?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Well, I know. I'm quite excited. - Good! I'm quite excited, too.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37So am I!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42What about this little cabinet?
0:13:44 > 0:13:45- Derek?- Yes?
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Well, that... What's that?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50That is really interesting, actually.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Let's see if I can get it out. This...
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- is in gorgeous condition, actually. - I've never seen...
0:13:56 > 0:14:01It's about 1820 in date, I would say,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03and it's a little sewing clamp.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07So the seamstress would clamp this to the edge of her table,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- her worktable....- Oh, yes, yes.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13..by turning that screw, and this little finial, there we go, yes,
0:14:13 > 0:14:17that unscrews like that, and you could actually take that off.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- That's brilliant.- So you could take your little cotton reel away.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24So it all depends what the price is, Derek, let's have a look.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Exotic.- So we've got 145 on there.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- 145 quid?!- Hmm... - SHE LAUGHS
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- What? You...- What do you think of that?- It's so small.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I think it's a lot of money.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Well, I have to say, they are collectible.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43This would have been used in the 1820s, 1830s maybe.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47You know, it's, it's nearly 200 years old.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49And it's made from rosewood,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52often found in all sorts of antique objects, and this is an
0:14:52 > 0:14:54antique, and legal to sell.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58But the international trade in rosewood is strictly controlled.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- Do you want to beat Bill? - I would love to beat Bill.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- The gloves are off, aren't they? - Well... You know, I'm such a...
0:15:05 > 0:15:07sort of ordinary sort of bloke.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I think I'm bringing out the competitive streak in you.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Well, you are now. - You definitely are, Kate.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- I think this could be love. - Should we have a chat with Judy...
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Yeah, 80.- ..and go for it? - Shake me up, Judy.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21We're going for the little cotton...
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Yes.- We're thinking, maybe,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26can you go for 75?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Remember, it's priced at £145. Ooh!
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- That's really pushing me.- Maybe 70?
0:15:36 > 0:15:3975, I'll go for, but that is actually...
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Is that good?- You can't knock the lady for being fair, can you?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- No, I can't.- That's fantastic. - Thank you.- What do you think, Derek?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- Yeah, I love it.- Great, let's shake the lady's hand.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Here we are.- Judy, thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53You've been fantastic, thank you very much indeed.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- Thank you, Kate. - Crikey Moses, Derek!
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Three items at a total of £175 in the first shop.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Now, what about the fellas in the Black Mariah?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Well, Bill, you've played a Yorkshire policeman
0:16:12 > 0:16:17and I'm going to take you now back in time to see what jail was like in
0:16:17 > 0:16:19the 19th century.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Phil knows how to spoil a celebrity.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26They've motored to the city of Ripon in North Yorkshire.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30It was around here '60s drama Heartbeat was filmed,
0:16:30 > 0:16:34but Bill's about to find out about crime and punishment in the
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Victorian era.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Curator Mandy Thrippleton, from the Ripon Prison and Police Museum,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43is going to unlock the area's terrifying history.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- I'm being pushed here, Bill.- Why don't you come on in and I'll show you all about punishment?- Really?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Naughty. You might not get back out, Phil.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Crime, and how to deal with it,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57was one of the great issues of Victorian Britain.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Industrialisation and the consequent move of vast numbers of people from
0:17:02 > 0:17:06the countryside to cities contributed to a soaring crime rate
0:17:06 > 0:17:09that increased year on year.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Incarcerating the guilty seemed to be one solution
0:17:12 > 0:17:14and so prisons like this one were built.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18What a wonderful building.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20What did it start off as?
0:17:20 > 0:17:26Well, originally, it started off as a house of corrections in the early 1800s.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29It then became a prison that housed
0:17:29 > 0:17:32all the local residents that had been committing crimes,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34and then it became a police station.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Sir Robert Peel established the Metropolitan Police Force in London
0:17:39 > 0:17:45in 1829, but police procedure varied widely region to region, until the
0:17:45 > 0:17:49introduction of a national police force in 1856.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54I'd imagine that, in Victorian times, it wasn't an easy life here.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Absolutely. It was a grim place to be.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Obviously the Victorians were not about rehabilitation.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04They weren't bothered about what happened to people once they left.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07They wanted to keep people punished for their crimes
0:18:07 > 0:18:10and so they devised many methods of punishment.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12There were things like the crank.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20The crank would be turned up to 10,000 times a day by a prisoner.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Its main purpose, to break self-respect.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24The museum has an example.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- That's it there?- This is the crank that you'll be turning.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- None of it was about usefulness. - Yeah.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36It was just purely taking up time.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- I'm never going to be naughty again. - A waste of energy and time.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42There was also the tread wheel, which many prisons used to have.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It was almost like a vertical treadmill.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- Right.- And they would just walk, and the slats would fall away beneath
0:18:48 > 0:18:51them, and so it was a complete waste of time,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54and they would do that for up to eight hours a day.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Oh, my God!- And there were a lot of people that referred that to as
0:18:57 > 0:19:02one of the lunacy-inducing forms of punishment in Victorian prisons.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Terrible, terrible.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Even more chilling was the punishment for juvenile crime.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- So, what's this?- Well, this is a birching stool.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17It was used for punishment for juveniles.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22And they wear strapped in and whipped with a birching rod across
0:19:22 > 0:19:25their backs, and every time the child would be struck,
0:19:25 > 0:19:30children as young as eight or nine, going up to the age of 14.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34The person doing the whipping would hit them and then they would pause,
0:19:34 > 0:19:38so the child didn't know when the next blow was going to come.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44It was supposed to make them reflect on why it was happening.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Was this just accepted by society?
0:19:46 > 0:19:51It was indeed because prisons were essentially places of punishment.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I feel it's terrible that something like this could be used on almost
0:19:55 > 0:19:59anybody, but particularly on children.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Petty crimes, such as a child stealing an apple or found begging,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08would result in punishment by the birch.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10But there was something even more terrifying
0:20:10 > 0:20:11in store for the child criminal.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14After the birching stool was phased out,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17the dark cell was introduced.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Oh, dear.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23This is obviously a representation, but outside in the yard
0:20:23 > 0:20:27there was one built, so it was all solid, all wooden.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29There was no way that sound or light could get in,
0:20:29 > 0:20:35so it was...completely excluded any outside interference.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37So what could have been five minutes
0:20:37 > 0:20:40would have felt like hours and hours to a small child.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Terrible.- How long would they have been in there for?
0:20:43 > 0:20:44It could've been hours,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47but it would have felt like weeks.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50After the tough Victorian regime,
0:20:50 > 0:20:55the move towards reform happened in 1895 when liberal reformer
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Herbert Gladstone MP presented a report to Parliament.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03It stated that prisons should turn their inmates out
0:21:03 > 0:21:05as better people than when they went in.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11And before we leave, let's take a look at a prison cell from 1816.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14As you can see, it's very small.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17There's only room for a wooden bed.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21There's a small chamber pot, there's a tiny ledge up in the corner,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24just for your candle. That's the only light that you would have had.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Can I go and have a look? - You can indeed have a look.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Mandy, thank you very much.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32It's been a wonderful experience.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33I mean, terrifying.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I'm glad you enjoyed it, even though it was terrifying.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Thank you.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Oh!- Whoops-a-daisies.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Bill?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Bill!
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Probably the best place for him!
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Back to Derek and Kate.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I think Bill is far more competitive than me.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Really? Well, do you know? It could be an absolutely killer duo
0:22:01 > 0:22:04between the two of them because Philip does not hang around
0:22:04 > 0:22:07when he is negotiating and he will go in really low.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Those two are off to the North Yorkshire town of Thirsk...
0:22:13 > 0:22:16..to pay a visit to Three Tuns Antiques.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Cor, this looks smart.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Looks interesting.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26It does.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27After big spending this morning,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30they have £225 left in the old kitty.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Ah!- Ah, here we are.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Let's have a good old nose about.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Ha! That's just like yours, Derek.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Now, you see that photograph?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- Oh, yes. - Now that, do you recognise him?
0:22:49 > 0:22:50No, I don't.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Do you remember the film...
0:22:53 > 0:22:55..Mutiny On The Bounty?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I do, now you say it.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59The one with Clark Gable?
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Yeah.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Well, that is a photograph of Captain Bligh
0:23:04 > 0:23:09played by the great Charles Laughton
0:23:09 > 0:23:13and his favourite saying was, "Mr Christian!"
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Very good.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I have no idea what Bill Simons has been doing
0:23:23 > 0:23:25or how much money he's spent,
0:23:25 > 0:23:32but I've got the ace in the bag because I've got Kate,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34who is quite brilliant.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36I think this is a whole new experience for Derek.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40I don't think he's ever really haggled for anything.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43He's just such a lovely gentleman,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45perhaps a little bit too gentlemanly
0:23:45 > 0:23:47to get a rock-bottom price, but he's doing well.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Hey, look at that.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55How do you spell whisky?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Has whisky got an E in it?
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Er...
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Yes.- Whisky... Has it?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Has it? Erm...
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- Well...- It has.- Has it got an E in it?- Yeah, it has.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Well, Derek, the Irish and the Americans spell it with an E,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14and the Scots without.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17It's all down to different Gaelic translations.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19It's priced at £30.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24- I wonder if we should just ask the best price on that one.- OK.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Time to talk money with dealer Victoria.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30What's your best price for that?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Seeing that it's you...
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Right, it's nothing, it's free.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37..I'll let you have it for £10.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41And then you can make some money at the auction on it.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45What do you think, Derek?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- I think, for £10, that's a good price.- Yes.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Fantastic.- You won't go to a fiver, will you?
0:24:50 > 0:24:51No.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54- Come on.- There we go.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- Go on, then, £5 for you.- What?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- £5.- Really?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Yes, I'll let you have it for £5.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Derek, I'm learning from you!
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Gee whiz, Derek.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06That's very generous.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09And I happen to have a fiver.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Thank you very much. - Thanks a lot. Been a pleasure.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Thank you very much.- Goodbye. Nice to see you.- Nice to have met you.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- Great, lovely. Come on, let's scarper.- Let's go.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19You are an old charmer.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Don't tell anybody, will you?
0:25:24 > 0:25:25- Bye-bye!- Bye.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Your secrets are safe, Derek.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33The silver whisky decanter label means he now has four lots.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35And he's a quick learner.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Well, what a wonderful day for both teams.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42But now it's time for a lovely rest.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Into the cells, then. Nighty-night.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Top o' the mornin' to you.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56We're back on the road with our gentlemen coppers.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59We had a very successful day between ourselves.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01We laughed a lot,
0:26:01 > 0:26:05but we weren't amazingly lucky with what we found.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07That's good news to us.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Oh, I know, I know, but my God,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11we're going to have a good day today.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12That you are, Bill.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17And dare we peek into the Austin Morris?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20MUSIC: Yakety Sax
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Do you know? In this vehicle... - Are we cutting a dash?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Well, I really feel like people get out of our way,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- but that could be your driving. - No, it's fear. Definitely fear.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30That could be very true.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Yesterday, our wonderful chaps took to the world of antiques like ducks
0:26:38 > 0:26:42to the proverbial, especially expert charmer Derek.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- There we go. - Go on, then. £5 for you.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Hey... He's already bought four items -
0:26:47 > 0:26:51the antique pewter and leather hip flask, a pair of silver cufflinks,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53an antique rosewood sewing clamp,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55and the silver whisky decanter label.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59And he still has £220 for the day ahead.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- Thank you.- Hey, no flies on you.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Bill, on the other hand, is taking it easy.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09He has one lonely lot - a couple of Victorian barrels.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14And the ideal use, of course, is as a garden stool.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19His bag of money is bulging with £355.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Derek wants to find something really big.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- And here I am!- Something that'll go in the back of that.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Oh, here they are.- Here they are. - Hello, you lot!
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- Derek, how are you?- Good morning!
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Lovely to see you.- Nice to see you.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32- Nice to see you.- New day?
0:27:32 > 0:27:33He goes straight to you.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35He was ignoring me, then. He goes straight to you.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38We do this. We're very, very confident, I'm afraid.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Really?- Well, no, I'm not afraid at all.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- I'm rather pleased.- You're getting the competitive bug.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45- Shall we give them a good whipping? - Yes.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- You can learn a thing about negotiating from Derek.- Yes.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Right, we're going to go. We're going to get ahead of you.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Let's go. Yeah.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59And we're off!
0:28:02 > 0:28:05So, Derek, did you use any of your police sleuthing skills
0:28:05 > 0:28:09to find anything out from Bill about his shopping?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- Bill was trying to pull a fast one. - Was he?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13And he was saying things like
0:28:13 > 0:28:18he'd never known Faberge to be so cheap.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20The rivals are all headed to the
0:28:20 > 0:28:22village of Barmby Moor in York.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Ha, that's right - they are all sharing a shop.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Look at that.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Right, there we go, then.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Well, up and at 'em.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Located on the York to Hull road,
0:28:37 > 0:28:40there are a good few farm buildings bursting at the seams
0:28:40 > 0:28:42with all sorts of goodies.
0:28:43 > 0:28:49I like that. I've got a feeling it comes from something like a brewery.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53And when they used to bring the bottles back to the brewery,
0:28:53 > 0:28:56for after they'd been sold or used in the pub,
0:28:56 > 0:28:59they rinsed them and everything and put them on this.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01- I might be wrong. - I thought these things were French.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Let's look at the price.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05HE STUTTERS
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- How much is it?- 190 quid.- Oh...
0:29:08 > 0:29:09Blimey.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Let's get some help from the dealer.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Howdy, Greg.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Is it a washer?
0:29:14 > 0:29:17It's a drier. You'd wash the bottles and then stick 'em on there.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19So it's priced up at £190.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20- Yeah.- With all the bottles.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23No, not with all the bottles.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- What?!- What were you thinking for that with the bottles?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28We've got to sell it at auction
0:29:28 > 0:29:30and I'd like to see it at about 85-90 quid.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31- With the bottles?- Yeah.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Let me think about it. You're going to get some other things.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38We would like to buy, try to look at some other things here,
0:29:38 > 0:29:41but our opposition are coming here in a minute,
0:29:41 > 0:29:44so just tell them, if they come to this, it's reserved.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46OK, I'll do that.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47It's reserved.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Speak of the devils...
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Well, this is a bit different, Derek.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Gosh, this is fascinating.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04They've got £220 to splash.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- 'Ello, 'ello, 'ello!- 'Ello, 'ello!
0:30:06 > 0:30:07What's goin' on 'ere, then?
0:30:07 > 0:30:08I think it's more your size.
0:30:08 > 0:30:14Ventress! Rowan! My office! Now!
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Blimey!
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Let's make a run for it for the Old Bill!
0:30:18 > 0:30:19And Phil.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Oh, Bill, I love these!
0:30:21 > 0:30:23These are so cool!
0:30:23 > 0:30:25What? The vaulting horse?
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Yeah, but what you do with these is you take the top level off
0:30:29 > 0:30:32and you've got a window seat or a very cool seat
0:30:32 > 0:30:34at the end of the bed.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36And then with the bottom layers,
0:30:36 > 0:30:38you put a piece of glass in-between them
0:30:38 > 0:30:40and you've got an uber-cool coffee table.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- That's genius.- Well, you see...
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Is it "up there with the kids" or "down there with the kids"?
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Anyway! I'm on trend.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48I'm on fire today.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Yeah, don't get too carried away, Philip.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Is there a price?- We don't know what the price is, let's have a look.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58I mean, I think it's got to be about 100 quid.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- Erm...- Uh-oh.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- 380.- 380.- OK.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Well, we can have a walk round.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- Right.- OK, let's go see what else we can see.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Pricey, but interesting.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Now, what about Derek and Kate?
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Are these old records worth anything?
0:31:19 > 0:31:20Hmm?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Yeah, a tricky one, actually.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25They're great...
0:31:25 > 0:31:27for nostalgia, aren't they?
0:31:27 > 0:31:28Yeah, but that's about it.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31It is. I don't think they'll make us a fortune, unfortunately.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34No, they won't, and we've got to make a fortune.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35LAUGHTER
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Pull away, pull away.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39Oh, are you all right?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42'Ello, 'ello, 'ello! What's going on here?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- How are you getting on? - We're doing very well.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- We're doing...- We are doing very, very well...
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Dream team!- ..I'm happy to say. - Bought anything?- And you?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- Couldn't tell you that. - We've had a middling time.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- Quite an interesting... - Miserable! Miserable!
0:31:54 > 0:31:57You're both liars...but very handsome ones.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- Toodle-oo.- Bye-bye. - BILL:- Bye.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Do you think they know that they're going to lose?
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I think it's written all over their faces.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10They just won't let it go, will they?
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Right, let's stick with the cheeky ones
0:32:12 > 0:32:14and see what they sniff out next.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15Do you like these two, Bill?
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Er...
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Yes, I like that. Shabby chic.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- Yeah.- And that's nice. Nice drawer.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26There's a certain irony for me with these
0:32:26 > 0:32:29cos you've got a chest of drawers that wouldn't have been painted.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31What I find bonkers about this, Bill,
0:32:31 > 0:32:34is this is a late-Georgian mahogany chest of drawers,
0:32:34 > 0:32:37but to make it saleable, all this paint's brand-new.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41This one, Bill, this is £280.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43This is a useful shape.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46It's kind of like that industrial look that people want.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Yes, I like this. Erm...
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- How old?- Late Victorian, 19th century.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Right. Let's fetch Greg.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59There's three things that we love, but I've got to tell you,
0:32:59 > 0:33:01it's a massive, massive ask. Bill, you love...
0:33:03 > 0:33:05- The bottle holder outside...- OK.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07I think is great...with the bottles.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09I like this cos it's just stupid
0:33:09 > 0:33:13cos I think this is a great window seat.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16And then turn the bottom two into some really cool table.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Yeah, cos it comes apart.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Yeah. I think that's a real London lot.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Quite how much sense there is in selling a London lot
0:33:21 > 0:33:25in North Yorkshire I'm not sure, but we'll find that out.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29And the other thing is that chest of drawers down the bottom.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- Yeah.- We'd like to offer you...
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Cos I think it's our best shot, really,
0:33:34 > 0:33:36is basically £300 for the lot.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38You see, that would be just for this,
0:33:38 > 0:33:40but I've had this a while...
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- Yeah.- ..and the three things together...
0:33:46 > 0:33:47..£300, I'd still be making money.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- So you're making a profit overall. - So that's fine, yeah.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Are you sure?- Yeah.- Brilliant! - You've been a star. Thank you, Greg.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- Thank you.- Brilliant. Nine...
0:33:56 > 0:33:58How generous, Greg! Thanks!
0:33:58 > 0:34:03That little lot breaks down to the vaulting horse for £110.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08The late 19th-century chest of drawers also for £110.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13And the French tiered bottle drier, with bottles, for £80.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Now, how are the other pair faring?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Hey, I like that! What do you think of that?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Ah! That's a Moe lamp,
0:34:21 > 0:34:24which is made by American company Moe Brothers Manufacturing,
0:34:24 > 0:34:26dating from the 1930s.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28It's for a desk, isn't it?
0:34:28 > 0:34:32It is exactly that, a desk light, which is why it's so streamlined,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34if you like. Typical '30s.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- But I quite like these gilt mounts on it.- Hmm.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Very geometric in style.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42It's almost like an aeroplane wing, isn't it?
0:34:42 > 0:34:47It was such an age of speed and the design of everything
0:34:47 > 0:34:51from the architecture to the lighting in the home
0:34:51 > 0:34:54was very much in that style.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Looks good, but what's the price tag?
0:34:57 > 0:34:58It's a very masculine, to me.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02It would look great on a gentleman's desk, wouldn't it?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- 45 quid.- 145.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- 145?- 145.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08What?
0:35:08 > 0:35:09What do you think? Do you like it?
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Well, I do, I like the shape and I like the idea of a desk lamp.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Time to talk money with dealer, Dominick.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18It's a tricky one at auction, isn't it?
0:35:18 > 0:35:21I mean, it might make £40 to £60.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24It might make, you know, £80 to £120.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- £60?- Can you get anywhere near the £40 to £60, Dominick?
0:35:28 > 0:35:29- £65?- I know that's cheeky.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31£65. It's very cheeky.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34You know, I do like a nice round £60.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- Yes.- What do you think, if Dominick can do 60?
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- What do you think?- Yeah. - You're such a charmer, Derek.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40- How can I say no?- What can I say?
0:35:40 > 0:35:42What do you want? What are you after?
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Yeah, £60.
0:35:45 > 0:35:46£60?
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Yeah, yeah, OK.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49Well, I've got it in my hand.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53Well, you may as well hand it over to me.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56And I think you are a very lucky man.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58I think you might be very lucky, actually.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00No, we are. Thank you so much.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- Great!- I know you're an ex-copper, but...
0:36:04 > 0:36:09Cheeky! The Art Deco desk lamp gives Derek a total of five super items.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Now, where are Phil and Bill?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Here we go!
0:36:17 > 0:36:19I tell you what, there's a minor problem here, Bill.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23- What's the matter?- This thing is absolutely as flat as a whatsit.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Uh-oh.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29It's completely dead and...
0:36:29 > 0:36:30He looks as if he could expire!
0:36:30 > 0:36:32No, there's just no life at all.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- Oh, no.- It's not even wired up.
0:36:35 > 0:36:36We're miles from anywhere here!
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Well, have you ever done this before?
0:36:39 > 0:36:40Come on then.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43MUSIC: Rescue Me by Fontella Bass
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Oh, look here! Who's this? Bill, Bill, Bill! We've got a lift!
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Crumbs! That was exciting!
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Meanwhile, let's get back to Derek and Kate.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01They're on their way to the city of York.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Tell me about your National Service.
0:37:06 > 0:37:12Yeah, I went in at 18 and I was trained as a wireless operator.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Dit, dit, dit, da, da, da, dit, dit, dit,
0:37:14 > 0:37:15which is SOS.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20We are headed for York Castle Museum
0:37:20 > 0:37:24to find out about the incredible support given to the brave soldiers
0:37:24 > 0:37:27who signed up to serve king and country in World War I.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33Curator Katie Brown is going to tell us more about the astonishing
0:37:33 > 0:37:38morale boosts given during one of the most catastrophic wars of the 20th century.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39Hello.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Hello, welcome to York Castle Museum!
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- Would you like to come this way? - Lovely, thank you!
0:37:48 > 0:37:52December 1914, the First World War had been raging for five months.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56So when the war started,
0:37:56 > 0:38:00everyone thought that it would be over by Christmas, didn't they?
0:38:00 > 0:38:03They were going to go over there, save the Empire,
0:38:03 > 0:38:05and then come home in time for Christmas.
0:38:05 > 0:38:10Instead, the war was still raging on with no sign of an end.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15Princess Mary, the daughter of King George V and Queen Mary,
0:38:15 > 0:38:17wanted to show her support.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Originally, she wanted to pay for some tins
0:38:19 > 0:38:22to go out to the servicemen overseas
0:38:22 > 0:38:24out of her own personal funds,
0:38:24 > 0:38:27but it wasn't really practical, so they set up a fund in her name.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33The public gladly contributed to Princess Mary's fund.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36A total of £162,000 was raised,
0:38:36 > 0:38:40the equivalent of just under £14 million in today's money.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44And so they produced these tins here.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47The idea was that every soldier and serviceman and eventually airman
0:38:47 > 0:38:50going out overseas would be given this tin
0:38:50 > 0:38:54and it would contain tobacco and cigarettes,
0:38:54 > 0:38:57and they all got a little card with Princess Mary's picture
0:38:57 > 0:39:00and a little greetings card here, wishing them a happy Christmas.
0:39:00 > 0:39:06Around 400,000 tins were sent to anyone wearing the king's uniform.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10However, soldiers serving with regiments from Yorkshire
0:39:10 > 0:39:12received a second tin from home.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17So we've got this one here. Would you like to have a closer look?
0:39:17 > 0:39:19- Kate, can you read that? - Isn't that lovely?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21The Allied flags are on the front, obviously, aren't they?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Yes, all the Allied flags.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26- And we've got an inscription there...- What does it say?
0:39:26 > 0:39:29It says, "The Lord Mayor of New York, John Bowes Morrell,
0:39:29 > 0:39:32"and the Sheriff Oscar F Rowntree,"
0:39:32 > 0:39:35so presumably he was Rowntree of the chocolate family Rowntree.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36Yes, he is, yes.
0:39:36 > 0:39:41And it says, "Send best wishes for a Happy Christmas
0:39:41 > 0:39:44"and a bright new year to all York men
0:39:44 > 0:39:47"who are serving their King and country.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49That's fantastic. Wonderful.
0:39:49 > 0:39:55Each tin contained a solid block of Rowntree's chocolate wrapped in foil.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Oscar Rowntree and John Bowes Morrell
0:39:58 > 0:40:01personally funded the gesture themselves.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05The impact of receiving something from your home county
0:40:05 > 0:40:08was so powerful that recipient soldiers and their loved ones
0:40:08 > 0:40:12wrote letters of thanks, known as The Chocolate Letters.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15The museum has a collection of over 250.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17Amazing.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22This one here was written by the wife of private JW Agar,
0:40:22 > 0:40:25who was in a prisoner of war camp in Germany,
0:40:25 > 0:40:29and so she'd received a letter from him saying he'd received the gift.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32So she's writing the letter to say thank you.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36It says, "I was pleasantly surprised to get the postcard
0:40:36 > 0:40:38"as the prisoners in this camp
0:40:38 > 0:40:41"have only been allowed to write once in 50 days."
0:40:41 > 0:40:42Yeah.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Extraordinary.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47It's hard to underestimate the effect the tins had
0:40:47 > 0:40:50on the morale of the troops, but this festive goodwill
0:40:50 > 0:40:55extended to the legendary Christmas Day truce of 1914.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Yeah, I think Christmas, especially the first year,
0:40:57 > 0:40:59it was maybe a different attitude they were having.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02You know, the Germans across the way from them weren't feeling they were
0:41:02 > 0:41:05that much different. So the truce happened, they went over there.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07They played the game of football supposedly
0:41:07 > 0:41:09and they exchanged gifts as well.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Early on, where that kind of difference between the sides
0:41:12 > 0:41:13maybe wasn't as keen to them.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16So afterwards, they became the proper enemy by, you know,
0:41:16 > 0:41:18second, third, fourth year of war.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21The Germans aren't the friends any more in any way,
0:41:21 > 0:41:23so they never would have done that after that first year.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25So it's quite a unique experience, really.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Thank you. I'm terribly...
0:41:29 > 0:41:31very moved, really.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Let's return to Bill and Philip.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41They finally made it to the North Yorkshire village of Huntington.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46And The French House is where they're headed.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Now, what are you going to buy?
0:41:48 > 0:41:53Well, I'm going to look round and I've got a few ideas.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Go on, then. You have a look round your way and I'll go round mine.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02This fine shop sources stock direct from La Francais
0:42:02 > 0:42:04and c'est magnifique!
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Oh, la, la.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10I spotted these little chairs for children.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Somebody might like to buy them for their granddaughter, their grandson,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16or their children.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19I don't know what he'll think,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21he'll probably say, "No, load of rubbish."
0:42:21 > 0:42:23But he'll know where they were made,
0:42:23 > 0:42:26where they were built, the age of the wood,
0:42:26 > 0:42:28which might be yesterday week.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Now, where's Phil?
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Ah-ha!
0:42:33 > 0:42:35NARRATOR SPEAKS FRENCH
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Looking good, Phil!
0:42:38 > 0:42:40I like your new hairstyle.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Tres bouffant.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46What have you found, William?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Oh, I was looking at these chairs.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51They're quite fun, aren't they?
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Almost like a lime-washed country chair, isn't it?
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Is there any age in it?
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Probably around 1950s, something like that.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00It would make a great little christening present.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02And they're not priced.
0:43:02 > 0:43:03That's one possible.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Anything else?
0:43:05 > 0:43:06Why do you like this?
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Well, I like the simplicity of it.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12I like the fact that it's in metal, it's not in gilt,
0:43:12 > 0:43:13and it's not painted.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15I mean, I don't know...
0:43:17 > 0:43:18Is that a strut on the back?
0:43:18 > 0:43:19Yes, that's right.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Which is broken off... I don't really see that as being a problem.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- No, no.- If you want to see...
0:43:24 > 0:43:28Anything that's a good quality, that's glazed,
0:43:28 > 0:43:29- it's bevelled.- Yes, yes, yes.
0:43:29 > 0:43:33- Right.- And this is a bevelled mirror plate, so I love that.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37And I quite like the fact that it is a bit shabby
0:43:37 > 0:43:39because it's shabby chic.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42And it is what it's... It does what it says on the tin.
0:43:42 > 0:43:43Another possible.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45Yeah, I quite like that.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47That's £45.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49I'd try and get it for 20, 25 quid or something like that.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52- Ask him that.- You see, in an ideal world, we've got four items.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55One more would just make, I think, a real good quality lot.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57- Yes.- And I love that.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00And I like the little chair because it's primitive and I think it's fun.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03So you could either buy this at around £20, £25.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06You could buy the little chair at five to ten.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07But I think it's something
0:44:07 > 0:44:11- that I'd like you to buy - whatever you love.- Well, I...
0:44:13 > 0:44:15- Right.- Over to you, guv'nor. - Thank you very much.
0:44:15 > 0:44:16Let's see how he does.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18The little chairs have stolen Bill's heart.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21Now, ou est la dealeur?
0:44:21 > 0:44:25- Bonjour, monsieur.- Bonjour, ca va?
0:44:25 > 0:44:28- Ca va.- Hello, hello.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32Now, can you give us your best price on the two chairs?
0:44:32 > 0:44:34You can have the two chairs for £10.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37There's lots of grandparents who have more than one grandchild...
0:44:37 > 0:44:40- Yes, yes.- And one is slightly bigger than the other anyway,
0:44:40 > 0:44:41so it's perfect.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44Chances are you'll find a buyer.
0:44:44 > 0:44:45Thank you very much.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47You're very, very, very kind.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49And I've got...£10.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53That's really kind.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55- Very kind.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58What a wonderful price for the lovely children's chairs.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Merci beaucoup, Steven!
0:45:00 > 0:45:02HE SPEAKS IN FRENCH
0:45:02 > 0:45:04Pardon? With the shopping now complete,
0:45:04 > 0:45:06time to get the gang together
0:45:06 > 0:45:09and have a nosy at one another's buys. Oh... I do love this bit.
0:45:11 > 0:45:16I would just like to say that size isn't everything.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20- Is that it?- That is it!
0:45:20 > 0:45:21You're not impressed?
0:45:21 > 0:45:23- No.- cufflinks.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26- Oh, cufflinks. - They look very nicely enamelled.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29They are. Actually, the enamel is beautiful on them.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32- With golfers, of course, quite commercial.- Oh, very commercial.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35- Indeed.- But I've got to tell ya, I love the spirit label.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37But how do you spell "whisky"?
0:45:37 > 0:45:38W-H-I-S-K-Y.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40And how is that spelled?
0:45:40 > 0:45:42W-H-I-S-K-E-Y.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45Oh, that's because we're in Yorkshire. Ee, whiskey!
0:45:45 > 0:45:47- Ee, by gum.- Ee,- tha- knows.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50Well, we thought Irish whiskey has an E,
0:45:50 > 0:45:52Scottish whisky doesn't have an E.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55Yes, I didn't know that. Now what about the flask?
0:45:55 > 0:45:58- Is that your favourite, Derek? - I like the flask very much.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01It's the sort of thing you would carry in your hip pocket
0:46:01 > 0:46:03and offer me one now.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05- Often. Yes. - The light's quite nice, I think.
0:46:05 > 0:46:06Well, that's my favourite.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09You can't beat them in a government surplus, can you, Derek?
0:46:09 > 0:46:11Oh, that's what it is!
0:46:11 > 0:46:12I didn't know what it was!
0:46:12 > 0:46:15- I thought it was... - No, government surplus.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17- That is...- I thought it was left here by the crew!
0:46:17 > 0:46:21That is an original piece of Art Deco lighting.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24What about Bill and Phil's collection, then?
0:46:24 > 0:46:25We need a really big fanfare.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28- Are you ready for this? - Go on, then, do your stuff!
0:46:28 > 0:46:31Three...two...one!
0:46:31 > 0:46:33Go! Ta-da!
0:46:33 > 0:46:34Will you just look at that?!
0:46:34 > 0:46:36- What is it?- What do you mean, what is it?
0:46:36 > 0:46:40Well, you've gone for lumps, haven't you? There's no denying it.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42- What are they?- Well, you can use them as stools.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45But they are essentially glazed barrels.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48Yeah, and I do like those. How much were those?
0:46:48 > 0:46:50£45. The maestro here bought those.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52But this... I mean, you're going back to your time
0:46:52 > 0:46:55- as a PE instructor, aren't you? - If there wasn't all the stuff here,
0:46:55 > 0:46:56I'd give you a quick demo now.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59- Oh, go on then!- No, no, no, just look at this.
0:46:59 > 0:47:03I mean, what you've got to understand is that we...
0:47:03 > 0:47:04We're bang on trend.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07In your mind, maybe.
0:47:07 > 0:47:08Now what about this?
0:47:08 > 0:47:10I mean, I have to say, it looks very pretty in the sunshine.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13- That's a sculpture.- What do you think of that, Derek?
0:47:13 > 0:47:14- Do you like that?- I don't like it at all.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16I'm just going to stop you there
0:47:16 > 0:47:18because the steal of the show
0:47:18 > 0:47:20are the Bill Simons chairs.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22Just ask him what he paid.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25Probably overpriced, whatever you paid.
0:47:25 > 0:47:26I mean, who's going to sit in them?
0:47:26 > 0:47:29I'm not interested in talking to them. Come on.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31OK, we'll see you at the auction!
0:47:31 > 0:47:32Then we'll see!
0:47:32 > 0:47:35Thoughts on one another's purchases, please?
0:47:35 > 0:47:37I'm not biased, but I really...
0:47:37 > 0:47:39I'm not really impressed.
0:47:39 > 0:47:43Were you all of the tremble, having seen what they've got?
0:47:43 > 0:47:45Well, do you know? I prefer our items.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49The chest of drawers, I thought, looked a bit tacky.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53What do you think to their little star lots?
0:47:53 > 0:47:55Do you think the cufflinks are good?
0:47:55 > 0:47:57Um...
0:47:57 > 0:47:59Well, I suppose if you're a golfer.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01- I'm not a golfer. Are you a golfer? - A bad one.
0:48:01 > 0:48:06- I think we're actually sitting quite pretty.- I'm very happy.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Good.
0:48:08 > 0:48:09I'm glad, Derek.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11Auction day beckons.
0:48:17 > 0:48:23I must say, I think our stuff has more class than your stuff.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26I thought it was all a bit twee, quite frankly!
0:48:26 > 0:48:27It's delicate, like me.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32We're headed for the West Yorkshire town of Ilkley.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Hartley's Auctioneers is our auction showdown location.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40So, who's going to win?
0:48:40 > 0:48:42- Here they are!- Oh!- They're here.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45- Hi, we're here!- How are you doing?
0:48:45 > 0:48:47- What a beautiful day!- They're up the creek without a paddle.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49And I think I might have led you there.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52- Hey!- This is exciting.- Let's show these pretenders how it's done!
0:48:52 > 0:48:55- Come on!- Come on in.- I'm going to show you the way. In we go!
0:48:58 > 0:49:01Derek and Kate spent £240 on five lots.
0:49:01 > 0:49:05Derek excelled as a charming negotiator.
0:49:07 > 0:49:09Bill and Phil were big spenders
0:49:09 > 0:49:13and blew £355 on five auction lots.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15That's genius!
0:49:15 > 0:49:18Charles Hartley is the man in command of the rostrum.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21Do you like our Road Trippers' offerings, Charles?
0:49:21 > 0:49:23The lamp is probably my favourite item today.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25I think it's very cool, very stylistically relevant
0:49:25 > 0:49:27to stuff at the moment. I think it could do quite well today.
0:49:27 > 0:49:31The chest of drawers, one of the oldest items we've got in, I think.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33A very useful shape, very useful size.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35That sort of rough, industrial sort of patina
0:49:35 > 0:49:39- is what the market seems to like at the moment.- Thanks, Charles.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41Oh, here they come.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43They're looking a bit...shifty?
0:49:43 > 0:49:46- It's exciting.- Hello, Bill.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48Kate's got some news.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50You know our lovely little rosewood sewing clamp?
0:49:50 > 0:49:54- Yes, I love it.- Well, rosewood has become an endangered species
0:49:54 > 0:49:59and because the auction house can't conclusively prove the age of it,
0:49:59 > 0:50:01they're actually going to err on the of caution
0:50:01 > 0:50:04and they're not going to offer it for us for sale today.
0:50:04 > 0:50:08- Right.- And that means we're going to get our money back.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11It's as if we haven't bought it, as far as the game is concerned.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14But we still go forward with four fantastic lots.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17So, we could still win?
0:50:17 > 0:50:19Absolutely, Derek.
0:50:19 > 0:50:20So, you've only got four items?
0:50:20 > 0:50:23- Yep.- Yes.- Do you want to buy one of ours?- No.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26Cheeky. First up, it's one of Bill's favourites,
0:50:26 > 0:50:28the French tiered bottle dryer.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31I'm starting off, this time, with interest on the sheet at 50.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Do I have 55 in the room?
0:50:33 > 0:50:3455 anywhere? 55.
0:50:34 > 0:50:3660. 65, sir?
0:50:36 > 0:50:3965 anywhere? Anyone at 65? You can hang whatever you want on it.
0:50:39 > 0:50:4165 anywhere? No-one in?
0:50:41 > 0:50:42Bidding at £60, then.
0:50:42 > 0:50:43Are we all sure?
0:50:45 > 0:50:49It's rather worrying when you lose 20 quid and it's a result, isn't it?
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Come on, Philip,
0:50:53 > 0:50:54we've only just started.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58I suppose it could've been worse.
0:50:58 > 0:50:59You bet your socks it could.
0:50:59 > 0:51:04Team Derek next with the antique pewter and leather hip flask.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07Got a bit of interest on the sheet, so I'm obliged to start off at 16.
0:51:07 > 0:51:08Do I have £18 in the room?
0:51:08 > 0:51:10£18, anyone? Anyone at £18?
0:51:10 > 0:51:12- Anyone in? Are you sure?- Come on.
0:51:12 > 0:51:14Good present for any gents out there.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16- Are you sure no-one in?- Oh, go on.
0:51:16 > 0:51:17£16.
0:51:17 > 0:51:18Cheap bidder gets it.
0:51:18 > 0:51:1918. 20. 22?
0:51:19 > 0:51:2122 anywhere? 22?
0:51:21 > 0:51:2322. 24 now.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25It's in the room, anyone at 24?
0:51:25 > 0:51:27- We made the money back. - Not far off, Derek.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30- Are we all out? - That is not bad, you know?
0:51:30 > 0:51:31Derek, we weren't far off, were we?
0:51:31 > 0:51:33We lost £3.
0:51:33 > 0:51:37A little bit more with commission, but, hey, that could be a lot worse.
0:51:37 > 0:51:39Really?
0:51:39 > 0:51:42Never a truer word spoken, dear Kate.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45They think they've done really well and they've lost money!
0:51:46 > 0:51:50Hang about, it's the big, old barrels from Bill next.
0:51:51 > 0:51:52£10 to start me for the two, £10.
0:51:52 > 0:51:53- He's starting low.- Ten.
0:51:53 > 0:51:5412 now? 12.
0:51:54 > 0:51:5614? 16.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58- 18. 20.- Where they finish though that matters.
0:51:58 > 0:51:5922 anywhere? 22.
0:51:59 > 0:52:0024. 26.
0:52:00 > 0:52:0228. 30.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04£30, anyone? Anyone at 30?
0:52:04 > 0:52:06£30. Are you sure?
0:52:06 > 0:52:07I thought these would fly.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10No? £28 then, if we're all out...
0:52:10 > 0:52:12That is a crime, Bill. That is a crime.
0:52:12 > 0:52:15- Would you please just wipe the smile off your face?- No, I'm not...
0:52:15 > 0:52:18Seriously, that is a crazy price for those. They're lovely.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22Bargain price for one lucky bidder there.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26I'm really sorry because those were lovely.
0:52:26 > 0:52:27I'm surprised, I really am.
0:52:29 > 0:52:33You're next, Derek, with the silver whiskey decanter label.
0:52:33 > 0:52:34£5 to start me.
0:52:34 > 0:52:35A bit of silver?
0:52:35 > 0:52:36Five. Seven now. Seven.
0:52:36 > 0:52:37Ten? 12.
0:52:37 > 0:52:3914. 16.
0:52:39 > 0:52:41- Derek, it's flying.- £16 anywhere? Anyone at £16?
0:52:41 > 0:52:43No-one for 16? Think Christmas will be here eventually.
0:52:43 > 0:52:44- £16.- Yes, yes.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46£18. 18, sir?
0:52:46 > 0:52:5018. 20. 22. 22?
0:52:50 > 0:52:5222 anywhere? Leaving at £20 then.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54Are we all sure?
0:52:54 > 0:52:56- Derek, you're a genius. - What about that?
0:52:56 > 0:52:58- What about that for a mark-up? - £20 for a snog.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00ALL LAUGH
0:53:02 > 0:53:04You've still got it, Derek.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07- Great little earner.- I don't want to start laying blame anywhere here,
0:53:07 > 0:53:10- Bill...- Right. - But if we do lose money,
0:53:10 > 0:53:12it's because you didn't kiss anybody, all right?
0:53:12 > 0:53:14Oh, Philip!
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Right, Bill and Phil's vaulting horse is next.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20Who wants to start me off with this? £20 will start me for it.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23- Oh...- 22? 22. 24. 26.
0:53:23 > 0:53:2528. 30. 35.
0:53:25 > 0:53:2740. 45. 50. 55. 60.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29- £60 anywhere?- Derek, it's going, it's going.
0:53:29 > 0:53:3170. 75. 75 anywhere?
0:53:31 > 0:53:3575. 80. 85. 90. 95.
0:53:35 > 0:53:3695 anywhere?
0:53:36 > 0:53:3895. 95, 100?
0:53:38 > 0:53:39110. 120.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41120 anywhere?
0:53:41 > 0:53:44Anyone at 120. 120? Are we sure we are all out at 120?
0:53:44 > 0:53:47Leaving £110 there in the centre...
0:53:47 > 0:53:49Do you know what? After commission,
0:53:49 > 0:53:51that's cost us a shilling or two,
0:53:51 > 0:53:54but do you know? That's close enough. It's close enough.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57It certainly is. Could've been a heck of a lot worse.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59What you call a great escape.
0:53:59 > 0:54:00Hold on just a minute.
0:54:00 > 0:54:04- Brilliant.- That's unbelievable.
0:54:04 > 0:54:08Derek's next with the pair of silver cufflinks.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11Nicely made, I'm starting off on commission bids at 40.
0:54:11 > 0:54:14Do I have 45 in the room? 45 anywhere? 45 anywhere?
0:54:14 > 0:54:17- Surely that can't be the only interest we have.- No, come on.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20They're nice, are these. 45 anywhere? Bidding at £40, then.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23- No!- If we're all out...
0:54:23 > 0:54:25- Is that it?- Do you know? That was all over in
0:54:25 > 0:54:27a bit of a blink of an eye, wasn't it?
0:54:27 > 0:54:30I tell you what, somebody has got a real bargain there, I reckon.
0:54:32 > 0:54:33They certainly have.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38Oh, well, you know, it's only a game.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40It's the taking part that's important.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42Right!
0:54:43 > 0:54:45It's another of Bill's faves,
0:54:45 > 0:54:47the children's chairs are next.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49Who wants to start me off on these?
0:54:49 > 0:54:50£10 for the two. £10 to get us going.
0:54:50 > 0:54:52Anyone in? £5, then.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54You're not going to see many of these this often.
0:54:54 > 0:54:56£5 anywhere? Anyone in at all?
0:54:56 > 0:54:58£2, then. Two, scraping the barrel.
0:54:58 > 0:54:59Here we go, you've got a starter.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01Four. Six. Eight.
0:55:01 > 0:55:02Ten. £10 anywhere?
0:55:02 > 0:55:04£10 anywhere? You sure no-one's in at ten?
0:55:04 > 0:55:06Leaving at £8.
0:55:06 > 0:55:07It's going to sell.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09- £8.- Not bad. Not bad.
0:55:09 > 0:55:11I can't believe it.
0:55:11 > 0:55:15Again, it's not a huge loss, but it's not over yet, Bill.
0:55:18 > 0:55:20I can't believe those beautiful, beautiful chairs.
0:55:20 > 0:55:22But there's no back.
0:55:26 > 0:55:30Derek's Art Deco lamp is next to go.
0:55:30 > 0:55:33I'm starting off this time at 60.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35Do we have 65 in the room?
0:55:35 > 0:55:3665 anywhere?
0:55:36 > 0:55:3765. Quiet at the back.
0:55:37 > 0:55:3965. 70. 75.
0:55:39 > 0:55:41- Yes.- 75 anywhere? Anyone at 75?
0:55:41 > 0:55:42No more on this? Are you sure?
0:55:42 > 0:55:44- It's very nice, is this. - Yes, one for luck.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47£70 then on the sheet if we're out...
0:55:47 > 0:55:49I'd be pleased with that, Derek.
0:55:49 > 0:55:51- I'm thrilled. - Yeah, I'm thrilled too.
0:55:51 > 0:55:54Good profit. We haven't seen too many of them.
0:55:56 > 0:55:58I think we're in the lead.
0:55:59 > 0:56:01Are we?
0:56:01 > 0:56:03Yes, you are, Derek.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05Bill, it's the final lot of the day.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07Your late 19th-century chest of drawers.
0:56:09 > 0:56:13Right, I'm obliged to start off this time due to a late bid at £110.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16- Get in.- 19th-century chest of four graduated doors.
0:56:16 > 0:56:20- Late bid?- Industrially patina-ed if you like, I am starting at 110.
0:56:20 > 0:56:24120. 130. 140. 140 anywhere?
0:56:24 > 0:56:25Anyone at 140? Any more on this?
0:56:25 > 0:56:27140. 150. 160. 170. 180.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29180 anyway, you sure?
0:56:29 > 0:56:31180 anywhere? 180 anywhere?
0:56:31 > 0:56:32180. There we go.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34190 now. 190's the next bid.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36180, it's in the room currently at 180.
0:56:36 > 0:56:38- Goodness me.- No-one in?
0:56:38 > 0:56:40£180, it will sell.
0:56:40 > 0:56:42Try not to, just...
0:56:42 > 0:56:44Just don't say anything at all.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46- That was a good result.- Yes.
0:56:46 > 0:56:50Well done. That was your choice, wasn't it, Bill? Well done.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53Bloomin' heck. Talk about saving the best for the last.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55Excellent result.
0:56:55 > 0:56:58- We better go find out who has won, hadn't we?- Come on, then. Yes.
0:56:58 > 0:57:00- Come on, Derek.- Well done, Derek.
0:57:00 > 0:57:01Let's face the music.
0:57:01 > 0:57:02- I'm scared.- Come on.
0:57:05 > 0:57:06Well, let's tot up the figures.
0:57:10 > 0:57:14Derek and Kate began with £400 and, after all auction costs,
0:57:14 > 0:57:17made a loss of £40.36.
0:57:17 > 0:57:23They end the road trip with a final balance of £359.64.
0:57:24 > 0:57:27Bill and Philip had the same budget
0:57:27 > 0:57:30and, after all saleroom costs,
0:57:30 > 0:57:34made a teeny, tinier loss of £38.48.
0:57:34 > 0:57:39Their final earnings are £361.52.
0:57:39 > 0:57:42Bill can proudly hold the Road Trip crown high
0:57:42 > 0:57:45as today's Road Trip winner. Well done.
0:57:45 > 0:57:47CHEERING
0:57:47 > 0:57:49Many congratulations.
0:57:49 > 0:57:51- I'm so sorry.- Well done.
0:57:51 > 0:57:53But it was so close, it really was.
0:57:53 > 0:57:55- I'm so sorry.- Well done.
0:57:55 > 0:57:56- Right...- It's not fair.
0:57:56 > 0:58:00- Take care.- I demand a recount. - KATE CHUCKLES
0:58:03 > 0:58:05- Bye!- Bye-bye.
0:58:05 > 0:58:07Off we go.
0:58:08 > 0:58:10- Great sports.- Really good fun. - Bye!
0:58:16 > 0:58:19Hasn't it been great, Bill, to come back here,
0:58:19 > 0:58:22up here to Yorkshire, after all those years?
0:58:22 > 0:58:24Oh, it's been wonderful.
0:58:24 > 0:58:27- Would you do it again?- Like a shot.
0:58:27 > 0:58:29More like in a heartbeat.
0:58:29 > 0:58:31Bye-bye, chaps.
