0:00:02 > 0:00:05- The nation's favourite celebrities...- Oh!- Just want to touch bass.

0:00:05 > 0:00:07- ..paired up with an expert. - Boo!

0:00:07 > 0:00:10- ..and a classic car.- No hands!

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

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

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

0:00:18 > 0:00:19But it's no easy ride.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21- CREAKING - Oh!

0:00:21 > 0:00:23Who will find a hidden gem?

0:00:23 > 0:00:26- I like that. - Who will take the biggest risk?

0:00:26 > 0:00:27This could end in disaster.

0:00:27 > 0:00:31- Will anybody follow expert advice? - But 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 > 0:00:40Let me get out of first gear.

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

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

0:00:48 > 0:00:51SIREN BLARES

0:00:52 > 0:00:53Call the cops!

0:00:53 > 0:00:56On today's show, we have a pair of leading ladies from the

0:00:56 > 0:00:59frothy world of stage and screen.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03It's the rather lovely Roberta Taylor and Trudie Goodwin.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04HORN BEEPS

0:01:06 > 0:01:09I think you've got more of an eye than I have, actually, for things,

0:01:09 > 0:01:12especially Deco kind of stuff.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14If you're trying to be nice to me so that you can win...

0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Yeah, yeah, of course. - That's, you know...

0:01:16 > 0:01:19- It's not going to wash. - I'm actually trying to get the audience on my side.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Yeah, and we haven't even started yet!

0:01:22 > 0:01:25The girls are firm friends, though, and met on the set of

0:01:25 > 0:01:30the long-running television drama, The Bill. Hence all these sirens.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Roberta as Inspector Gina Gold and Trudie as Sergeant June Ackland.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- 'Allo, 'allo!- Well, they all seem very pleased to see you.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41That's because they think I'm a pushover.

0:01:41 > 0:01:46Trudie notched up an incredible total of 24 years on The Bill,

0:01:46 > 0:01:49and has also had a role in Emmerdale.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Amongst the many roles Roberta has played,

0:01:52 > 0:01:57she's also appeared as Irene Raymond in BBC soap, EastEnders.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Oh, sorry!

0:02:01 > 0:02:02I want to live, darling.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05I know!

0:02:05 > 0:02:08With £400 each to spend, will this road trip

0:02:08 > 0:02:12see some friendly rivalry between these old pals?

0:02:12 > 0:02:17And, of course, Trudie, in the end, I will win, because...

0:02:19 > 0:02:21..I've always been your boss, and you've always had...

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Yes, you have, I still think of you as my boss!

0:02:24 > 0:02:26You've always had to do as you're told!

0:02:26 > 0:02:27- So...- Yes, ma'am.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30So I want you to collect

0:02:30 > 0:02:32some really expensive rubbish.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Cor blimey!

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Tut-tut!

0:02:38 > 0:02:43Today's experts are the delightfully dashing James Braxton and Paul Laidlaw.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47- What a combo!- But you're about to have your collar felt, aren't you, Paul, by...

0:02:47 > 0:02:49- I know, I know, I know. - ..a couple of lady coppers.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54They'll suss you out, mate.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Yeah, you watch it, you two.

0:02:57 > 0:03:02The fellas have the racy red 1971 Jaguar XJ6.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Bit spongy, this, Paul.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11I'm in second gear, and I'm unsure whether we've got first,

0:03:11 > 0:03:12third or fourth!

0:03:12 > 0:03:14So, it's...

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Are you sure it's not an automatic?

0:03:16 > 0:03:17It could be.

0:03:21 > 0:03:26Over to the rather snazzy 1968 Citroen DS21.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30I'm very much looking forward to it.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32I hope I'm not going to clam up, that's the only thing.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35I might, in the face of an expert...

0:03:36 > 0:03:39- No, come on.- No, probably not, no.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- When have you ever listened to an expert?- Well, that's true.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46Don't worry, they will be putty in your hands, girls.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Our adventures begin in the city of Glasgow,

0:03:49 > 0:03:53venturing over to the west coast of Scotland,

0:03:53 > 0:03:55zooming around Lanarkshire,

0:03:55 > 0:03:58heading north to Callander in Stirlingshire,

0:03:58 > 0:04:02before trudging south for an auction in Killinghall in Yorkshire.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Gosh, where are they?

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Come on.- I think I'm going to slide off here!

0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Are you all right? - That would be rather embarrassing.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14- I'm sliding this way...- You've probably got some synthetic element

0:04:14 > 0:04:17- in those trousers. - How very dare you, sir!

0:04:17 > 0:04:19- It's slipping.- Cheeky beggar!

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Oh, look at that Jag! Hello!

0:04:27 > 0:04:28Take my driving gloves off.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Hello, James. Very nice to meet you.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Some First World War binoculars will be on my list.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Hello, nice to meet you.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Roberta's pairing up with the beardy Laidlaw,

0:04:40 > 0:04:45and Trudie with the suave sophisticate that is James Braxton.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Right, time to hit the road, you lot.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50All aboard. On we go, Parker.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Anyone for a dance? Let's begin with Trudie and James.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04I've wanted to drive one of these since I was first in Paris

0:05:04 > 0:05:06when I was about seven, I think.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Lovely.- We got a taxi and, of course, they were all like this,

0:05:10 > 0:05:11they were all this car.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14And I remember sitting in the back and going, "This is so luxurious!"

0:05:14 > 0:05:16It's so cool, isn't it?

0:05:16 > 0:05:18It is very luxurious.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Yes, yes.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24It's like being cocooned by a baseball glove!

0:05:24 > 0:05:26That's one way of putting it!

0:05:32 > 0:05:34I feel I should call you ma'am.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35Can I ham this up?

0:05:36 > 0:05:40I think, if we're going to be a winning team, you should call me Rob.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Rob, OK.- I rob, you win.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48I think we can see who the boss is going to be!

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Back to Trudie and James.

0:05:51 > 0:05:55They're travelling to the area of Broomielaw in Glasgow.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Do you know it?

0:05:57 > 0:05:58I don't.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01You want to find your inner Genghis.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02My inner Genghis?

0:06:02 > 0:06:04I'm going to find my inner Genghis.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Find your inner Genghis.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Because I've got to bargain, haven't I?- Or even a light Herod.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Even a light Herod.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Because I have got to be quite a hard bargainer, haven't I?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15You've got to be tough.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19Glasgow City Antiques is their first stop for a rootle.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Here we are. Look at this. Wowser, wowser!

0:06:21 > 0:06:23It's a warehouse, practically.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25It's a warehouse.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27It's light industrial.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Well driven.- OK.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Oh! Very comfy car.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34It looks like a huge place!

0:06:34 > 0:06:36It is. Come on. Let's get in.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Let's get involved.- I'm quite nervous now!

0:06:38 > 0:06:40No, rubbish!

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Come on, Trudie, nothing to fear when you have James by your side.

0:06:45 > 0:06:46Wow.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49With the speciality of antique furniture,

0:06:49 > 0:06:53this huge shop has over 20 dealers selling their wares.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Nice suit, nice chairs.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59I do quite like these chairs.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03That's a big pot.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10So much, isn't there?

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Oh, look at those big lamps.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15They've all been sold.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Look! A police bike!

0:07:20 > 0:07:22- No, really?!- Oh, look at that.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26That's very good. You were always station-bound, weren't you?

0:07:26 > 0:07:27Or did you go out on motorbikes?

0:07:27 > 0:07:30No, no, no, out on foot a lot, and then out in the cars,

0:07:30 > 0:07:31but not on motorbikes.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33No, no, no. But that is amazing.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34That looks like a kid's...

0:07:34 > 0:07:37- It is sweet, isn't it? - It's a kid's toy, isn't it?

0:07:37 > 0:07:38350.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41We'll leave them to PURSUE their enquiries.

0:07:43 > 0:07:44What about Roberta and Paul?

0:07:46 > 0:07:49You and Trudie, on the other hand,

0:07:49 > 0:07:50openly competitive?

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Or is that not part of it?

0:07:53 > 0:07:58- How is she going to play this game? - It was never part of it, until we started this this morning.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02She's basically...

0:08:02 > 0:08:07..the most honest woman I know, but I think she'll get impish.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Hmm... Back to the impish Trudie.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Found anything yet?

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Ohh!

0:08:16 > 0:08:18That's quite nice.

0:08:18 > 0:08:19That's very nice, isn't it?

0:08:19 > 0:08:23It has a sort of American Deco look about it, doesn't it?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25It looks like it's from an American hotel, or something.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30- It's got reassuring weight.- Wow.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32I think we should...

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Oh, maybe put something on the table.- Put something on the table.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Here we are. Oh, very kind. Thank you, sir.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Thank you, Dealer John.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Stand by.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47- I quite like that.- That is a great shape, isn't it?- I like that.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Let me fondle the tag.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52- How much is it?- 180.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55- We could get down on that, couldn't we?- Yeah.

0:08:55 > 0:08:56I think that's very smart.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Do you know, I like that, because I think that's very Glaswegian.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02It's a fabulous weight. Have you felt the weight of it, Trudie?

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Go on. Come on, Sarge, put your muscle into it!

0:09:05 > 0:09:06- Oh, blimey!- Come on, come on.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08That is seriously heavy!

0:09:08 > 0:09:12You might get a bunch of fives if you keep calling Trudie Sarge!

0:09:12 > 0:09:13She might not like it.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16- WHISPERS:- What would you pay for that?

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Well, it's 180.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22You want to be at 90 first.

0:09:22 > 0:09:23- Do you really think?- Yeah.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Inner Genghis! Inner Genghis.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Come on, Sarge. Do you mind being called Sergeant?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30No. I'm very used to it!

0:09:32 > 0:09:36At the moment, this is priced at 180.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39So, what can you do us on that?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41I've taken 10%, I could take 20 off it.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44- No, we're not interested in ten, John.- Seeing as it's you, I could take 40 off it.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47No, we've got to go a lot less than that.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Oh, get you, Trudie!

0:09:49 > 0:09:51What would you peel out from your wallet?

0:09:51 > 0:09:54I would peel out £100, just like that.

0:09:54 > 0:10:00- Just like that.- John has to check the best price with the dealer of the lantern.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Cross your fingers, you know.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04It's not, you know, it's not terribly old.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08But what I like, I like this sort of chinoiserie look.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11- I do.- There's a lot going on there, stylistically.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Yeah.- Here he is.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16- John.- Yeah.- I've got some good news for you, and some bad news.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Oh, dear, OK. It's not for sale?

0:10:18 > 0:10:20No. You can get it for £100, but he's got to pay it.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25I've got to pay it? Do you accept cash, John?

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Yes, I certainly do.

0:10:27 > 0:10:28- Well done.- £100...

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Is that a pony? I don't know, I can't remember what it is.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Anyway, there you are.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34- It's a tonne.- A tonne.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Yeah, well done, James.

0:10:36 > 0:10:42That's one down, and the heavy gilt metal lantern for £100.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Get the boot in, James.- Oh, snug as a bug.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Great!- Snug as a bug in there.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Now, where are Roberta and Paul?

0:10:49 > 0:10:54So here we have Glasgow on the horizon.

0:10:54 > 0:10:58I fell in love with the city because my first job was up here.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00And that was back in the '70s,

0:11:00 > 0:11:03when Roberta was playing at a theatre in South Glasgow.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11We're returning to the heart of Roberta's acting roots with a trip

0:11:11 > 0:11:14to the Gorbals on the south bank of the River Clyde.

0:11:19 > 0:11:24Our doyen of the stage and screen began her illustrious career right here

0:11:24 > 0:11:28at the world-famous Citizens Theatre over 40 years ago.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Standing for over 140 years,

0:11:32 > 0:11:35not only is there a rich history of dramatic excellence,

0:11:35 > 0:11:40but the Citizens is the second-oldest operational theatre in the UK.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Hello!

0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Lovely to see you.- Dom, this is Paul.- Hi, Paul, I'm Dominic Hill,

0:11:49 > 0:11:51I'm the artistic director of the Citz.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Pleased to meet you.- Come with me and I'll show you around.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01Now, Dom, I've been involved with this theatre since 1976.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Why and how was it built here?

0:12:03 > 0:12:07The theatre was built... I mean, it opened in 1878,

0:12:07 > 0:12:11and it was part of a huge wave of new theatres being built in Glasgow.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15I think there was something like 20 built over about ten years at the

0:12:15 > 0:12:19time. You know, and I guess there was no telly,

0:12:19 > 0:12:22and it was the sort of major form of entertainment.

0:12:22 > 0:12:27So this theatre was built here in the Gorbals for the local people,

0:12:27 > 0:12:29and I guess it meant people didn't have to go across the river.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32And it's always been at the heart of its community,

0:12:32 > 0:12:35and I think that's one of the things that makes it really special, is that this is a

0:12:35 > 0:12:38theatre for the Gorbals, for the people in the south of Glasgow.

0:12:39 > 0:12:44The 19th-century Gorbals audience loved this spectacular entertainment

0:12:44 > 0:12:45right on their doorstep.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48However, there were a few hiccups.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50In the early days, there were quite a lot of mishaps.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54And there's a famous story about an elephant because, at the time,

0:12:54 > 0:12:57they had animals and things like that in the show.

0:12:57 > 0:12:58An elephant got loose,

0:12:58 > 0:13:02and evidently got tangled up in some of the ropes and caused a riot in

0:13:02 > 0:13:06the theatre, and the theatre was actually closed down because of that.

0:13:06 > 0:13:11Originally His Majesty's Theatre, then Royal Princess's.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15But in the mid-1940s, a new identity beckoned once more.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20And when did it become the Citizens Theatre?

0:13:20 > 0:13:23A man called James Bridie, who was a renowned playwright,

0:13:23 > 0:13:26he had a company on the other side of the river,

0:13:26 > 0:13:29and he was looking for a home for his company,

0:13:29 > 0:13:31and he was offered the Royal Princess's Theatre.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33So he moved his company and he moved in,

0:13:33 > 0:13:36and he renamed the theatre the Citizens Theatre,

0:13:36 > 0:13:41and he had a kind of manifesto that he wanted to create a theatre that

0:13:41 > 0:13:45was for the citizens of Glasgow, and that's how it got its name.

0:13:45 > 0:13:50And certainly that ethos is something that we still try to stick to today.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54For over 70 years, the Citizens has been renowned

0:13:54 > 0:13:56for its daring and provocative productions.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00We did all sorts of things. It was a great laugh.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04My very first job here, I was in knickers, bra, suspenders,

0:14:04 > 0:14:08tights and balloons, and a cigarette which I popped all the time,

0:14:08 > 0:14:12and I sobbed for days because I was so frightened.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14I don't blame you!

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Many a sparkling talent has appeared on the stage here,

0:14:21 > 0:14:25from the likes of Sean Bean and Pierce Brosnan...

0:14:25 > 0:14:28..to Glenda Jackson and Rupert Everett.

0:14:33 > 0:14:37Now, let's get a closer look at the particularly unique stage.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Daft question. We're running downhill.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Is this part of this particular production?

0:14:43 > 0:14:45No, this is the rake of the stage.

0:14:45 > 0:14:51So this theatre has got, I think, the steepest rake in the UK,

0:14:51 > 0:14:55which can be really challenging, particularly if you've got furniture on wheels and things like that.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59But what it's brilliant for is for allowing the audience to see the

0:14:59 > 0:15:04actors. So, you know, even when an actor walks upstage,

0:15:04 > 0:15:05they're always in view.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07So it's actually a very simple but

0:15:07 > 0:15:11kind of brilliant architectural device.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13I don't know much about architecture, but I never,

0:15:13 > 0:15:16ever get terrified on this stage.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20I get rightly nervous, which you're supposed to,

0:15:20 > 0:15:22but there's something about, maybe it's the colour, the shape,

0:15:22 > 0:15:26- or whatever.- Certainly not a first for Rob today,

0:15:26 > 0:15:28but this in every regard a first for me,

0:15:28 > 0:15:31and it has been an absolute joy and a privilege.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Thank you very much.- Thank you.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38Since 1945, the Citizens has been one of

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Scotland's flagship producing theatres,

0:15:41 > 0:15:45with a distinguished history of presenting both contemporary classics and

0:15:45 > 0:15:47edgy Scottish drama.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51This place is immensely significant in the history of British theatre.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Meanwhile, Trudie and James are back on the road.

0:16:00 > 0:16:05I'm beginning to feel that competitive urge rising in me.

0:16:05 > 0:16:10- Excellent!- And Roberta and Paul are putting their foot down, too.

0:16:10 > 0:16:14I so want a blue flashing light that we can just do that.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16- So we get there before them?- Yeah!

0:16:21 > 0:16:25Our competitive pairs are travelling to the seaside resort of Largs in

0:16:25 > 0:16:27North Ayrshire.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Visitors usually stroll along the Victorian prom

0:16:30 > 0:16:33with a nice ice cream, but not today.

0:16:33 > 0:16:38Prepare yourselves. We're sharing a shop, Narducci Antiques.

0:16:38 > 0:16:39Stand by.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42They're not here yet. We're first, we're first, we're first!

0:16:42 > 0:16:45I hope you were within the speed limit, ma'am.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47This is our manor now, Rob.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Here we are!

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Please...

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Before madam arrives!

0:16:56 > 0:16:58All we survey, it's ours!

0:16:58 > 0:16:59- Come on!- I'm first!

0:16:59 > 0:17:02Gosh, they're not competitive, are they?

0:17:04 > 0:17:06What a place.

0:17:06 > 0:17:07Lovely to see you, Roberta. How are you?

0:17:07 > 0:17:12Oh, look. It's old friends of the Road Trip, Franco and Jock!

0:17:12 > 0:17:16- It's a pleasure to have you through the door.- It's a pleasure to walk through the door.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Thank you for that. - You win the prize.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Do you get that, do you get the antique smell in here?

0:17:20 > 0:17:23I do. Beeswax, beeswax, beeswax, money, money, money.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30So, if you forgive me,

0:17:30 > 0:17:31I'm on the hunt.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35Now, Paul's the companion every celebrity needs.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Chill.- Yeah.

0:17:37 > 0:17:38Zen, antique Zen.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Antique Zen!- And just browse, scan, get the radar running and,

0:17:42 > 0:17:45"Oh, I like the look of that, let's have a look-see."

0:17:45 > 0:17:47But we've got all the time in the world.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49We've not. It shuts in 15 minutes!

0:17:50 > 0:17:53That's quite funny, actually!

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Let's get down to business.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00- When was the last time you saw a clock that looked like that? What's that made out of?- I love it.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04- Do you think that was always a clock?- No. I think it was a propeller.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07You're good! It's a propeller box.

0:18:08 > 0:18:13And that's going to date to, more likely than not, the First World War.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Now, that could be horsepower,

0:18:15 > 0:18:20the power of the engine that was appropriate to this propeller.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23An interesting find, and certainly unique.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26But it's not just a salvaged propeller, is it, Paul?

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Let Roberta in on the secret.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32There's another aspect to this.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36The timepiece itself, it's highly likely that's an aircraft clock,

0:18:36 > 0:18:39- isn't it?- Oh, how brilliant.

0:18:39 > 0:18:40You're brilliant.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43It's priced at £240.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45You're on, Roberta! Prepare yourself, Jock.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50I'd be frightened to spend more than 80 quid on it.

0:18:50 > 0:18:55- Gulp!- How about, my thought would be 85.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58For you, I'll buy that clock for 85.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59Oh, for me? Not for the auction?

0:18:59 > 0:19:01We've just bought something, haven't we?

0:19:01 > 0:19:05Indeed you have. Jock is being super generous,

0:19:05 > 0:19:07with an exceptionally kind discount.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10£85 for the propeller clock.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12Now, what of the others?

0:19:12 > 0:19:15They're here already!

0:19:15 > 0:19:19- I know. Let's box them in! - Right, OK.- Let's box them in!

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Yeah! Could you get any closer, Sarge?

0:19:23 > 0:19:25Oh, quick!

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Go on, I'll get my antennae out.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35Crikey!

0:19:37 > 0:19:39I think you've found a friend here.

0:19:39 > 0:19:40He could follow you around.

0:19:40 > 0:19:44Shop pooch Bobby's helping them sniff out a possible.

0:19:46 > 0:19:51This Chinese folding hardwood table comes with two lotus-shaped brass trays.

0:19:51 > 0:19:55That is a nice bit of brass, isn't it? That's...

0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Is it brass?- Never mind the quality, feel the weight.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Feel the weight, madam.- You could just melt that down and you'd be all

0:20:01 > 0:20:04- right, wouldn't you?- You could, you could.- I do quite like that.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Gin and tonics on us.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Yeah, OK.- Sorry...

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Oh, hello!

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Fancy meeting you here!

0:20:13 > 0:20:16- We've already bought that.- You've already bought that? That's a lie!

0:20:16 > 0:20:18- They haven't.- That is a fib!

0:20:18 > 0:20:20So their ears were burning.

0:20:20 > 0:20:21Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Just realising what they've missed.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Never mind them. Let's get Franco over.

0:20:26 > 0:20:27Franco!

0:20:27 > 0:20:30How long have you had that for then, Franco?

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Days and days and weeks and weeks and months and months...

0:20:33 > 0:20:36They're too close!

0:20:36 > 0:20:39That comes off here, and that comes off there.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43I hope he says it's £500.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Feel the weight of that.- Feel the weight of that!

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Ooh!

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Reassuring quality. We can think about that.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52- I think we could definitely think about that.- Do you think we should think?

0:20:52 > 0:20:58There's nothing to think about that broken brass thing, buy it!

0:20:58 > 0:21:03- Hey, we're being heckled.- Ignore them.- Sarge, go on, get tough with them!- Yes!

0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Move on.- Keep it quiet in there!

0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Enough!- Enough.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Blooming heck, you lot.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12- How much?- It's got £80 on it.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Yeah.- 60 quid?

0:21:15 > 0:21:1750?

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Give me your hand, give me your hand!

0:21:20 > 0:21:22What happened there?

0:21:22 > 0:21:24He was too quick on that.

0:21:24 > 0:21:25I've made a terrible mistake.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27That could have been 30!

0:21:27 > 0:21:28Oh, don't!

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Well, it's done now. £50 for the Chinese folding table.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37Right, what's next for Roberta and Paul?

0:21:38 > 0:21:41This is going to be 1920-1930,

0:21:41 > 0:21:45and it is an office cabinet with a camber front,

0:21:45 > 0:21:46and it's a security measure.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49So, you keep your office filing in here,

0:21:49 > 0:21:53your confidential papers or the letter-headed paper or whatever.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Do you like this?- I like that front,

0:21:55 > 0:22:00and this is great in this day and age for undies and socks and...

0:22:00 > 0:22:04- Yeah.- ..things.- I thought you were going to say scripts!

0:22:04 > 0:22:08No. And it's a handsome bedside table with a lamp on it.

0:22:08 > 0:22:09It's really elegant.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14Can I say, at the moment, never been more desirable.

0:22:14 > 0:22:15Really popular.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Hence, £300 price tag.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Jock, you are very much needed.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23What would you give me for it?

0:22:24 > 0:22:26- 80 quid.- No, I couldn't do it for that.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Small steps. 85?

0:22:29 > 0:22:36- 100.- We could end up getting 80 for it.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40- 85, what do you reckon?- I'd go to 85, but that's it, cos we've got tomorrow.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Any chance?- 85.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Yes!- Thank you very much.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48My goodness, yet another incredible discount.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49Well done, Roberta!

0:22:50 > 0:22:55A total of £170 on the unusual World War I propeller clock,

0:22:55 > 0:22:58and the oak stationery cabinet.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Back to Trudie and James.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04You want colour, you want precious metals.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Yes.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08And you want it cheap.

0:23:08 > 0:23:09And you want it cheap!

0:23:10 > 0:23:13- These are pretty.- They're pretty, aren't they?- These spoons are pretty.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Yeah. Who are they made by, then?

0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Shall we have a look?- I don't know, have a look.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Why that one, Trudie?

0:23:20 > 0:23:23I love these colours. This is enamel, presumably.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25Yeah, that's enamel.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28And then that's probably silver, silver gilt,

0:23:28 > 0:23:31so with the gold plating over the top.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36- And they're made...- They're pretty, aren't they?- ..in Oslo, Norway.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39- Ah.- Very trendy.- Very trendy.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42They're made by Norwegian silversmiths David Andersen,

0:23:42 > 0:23:46although it was David's son, Arthur, who introduced enamelling to the

0:23:46 > 0:23:49family firm. The company has always kept pace with changing trends,

0:23:49 > 0:23:53and these Art Nouveau spoons are very pretty.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55- I rather like those.- It's rather nice, isn't it?

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Well, I think that's rather nice.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00Nice markings, nice to get an original box.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02They're priced at £80.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Now, where's Franco?

0:24:05 > 0:24:08So, how much would we be talking, for that?

0:24:08 > 0:24:0955 to you?

0:24:11 > 0:24:12What are you up to?

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Caught red-handed, James!

0:24:14 > 0:24:1530?

0:24:16 > 0:24:1830!

0:24:18 > 0:24:19That's a killer blow, isn't it?

0:24:19 > 0:24:21£40, how's that, will that do?

0:24:21 > 0:24:2235?

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Don't look at me, Franco, they're not mine!

0:24:26 > 0:24:27- Yeah!- Go on!

0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Cripes, Trudie.- That's a very good purchase.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34£35 for the set of David Andersen spoons and 50 for the Chinese

0:24:34 > 0:24:36- folding table.- Trudie's got the money here.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Thank you, thank you very much.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39So that's 90.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41- Was that 90?- I think.

0:24:41 > 0:24:4390. I'll give you a fiver change.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Thank you very much.- There's one there. There you go.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49- There we are.- A wee Scottish fiver for you.- Magic!- It's a Scottish one.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52- OK, fine.- It will bring you luck. - Will it?- That's very good.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Let's hope so. Right, gang,

0:24:54 > 0:24:59go and get some shuteye before we do it all again tomorrow. Nighty-night!

0:25:07 > 0:25:12Morning, all! Our lady coppers are on patrol once more, slowly.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15- Oh, my goodness.- It's a cow.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18It's all right. Thought you were safe, eh?

0:25:18 > 0:25:21I know I could do without big bullocks by the size of the road.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23SHE LAUGHS

0:25:23 > 0:25:26- It's the countryside, Roberta! - I know, but you're...

0:25:26 > 0:25:30Yeah. Look at that shot. Now, what about the likely lads?

0:25:36 > 0:25:39I think one might say Sarge is the dealer's friend.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42HE LAUGHS

0:25:42 > 0:25:46Very good! Do you know what? Rob, the antithesis thereof.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Really, is she tough?

0:25:48 > 0:25:49She'll walk from a deal.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Really?- Yeah.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53She is one tough cookie.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Come on!- I'm first.

0:25:55 > 0:26:00Yesterday, our darlings of stage and screen entered the antiques arena

0:26:00 > 0:26:03with plenty of spirited determination.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Trudie and James bought a gilt metal lantern,

0:26:06 > 0:26:09a folding Chinese table, and a set of Scandinavian spoons,

0:26:09 > 0:26:12leaving them £215.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17Roberta and Paul dug into their bag of money,

0:26:17 > 0:26:21buying the World War I propeller clock and the oak stationery cabinet,

0:26:21 > 0:26:23leaving them with just a smidge more.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26They have £230 to spend today.

0:26:27 > 0:26:31And it looks like our celebrities have been left waiting.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34- That's not good.- Oh, at last!

0:26:34 > 0:26:37- What time do you call this?- Yes!- Eh?

0:26:38 > 0:26:42- Well, hello.- So you had an extra ten minutes in bed, in comparison to us!

0:26:43 > 0:26:46We've had to drive through bullocks and sheep!

0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Yes!- Really?- Rob's terrified of anything on four legs.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Really?- Yeah.- Jolly lucky we've reared onto two, isn't it?

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Blimey, James!

0:26:55 > 0:26:57- Come on.- Right, let's go, then.

0:26:57 > 0:26:58Right, off you pop, you lot.

0:26:58 > 0:26:59Are you happy? Are you off?

0:26:59 > 0:27:02A bike might be an idea right now, actually.

0:27:02 > 0:27:03- Why?- You hear that?

0:27:03 > 0:27:04You hear that?

0:27:04 > 0:27:06- Is nothing happening? Come on. - Exactly.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08We'll give you a push, come on.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11WE'LL give you a...? ! I think you might give him a push!

0:27:11 > 0:27:13You're dressed for it, come on!

0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Come on.- You don't drive? - ROBERTA:- I don't drive at all.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Handbrake off, handbrake off.

0:27:17 > 0:27:18Off you go, James!

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Right. A bit harder.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Does this happen very often on this show?!

0:27:25 > 0:27:27BOTH: Yes!

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Sheer Braxton muscle.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31- And they're off!- How's your resting heart rate?

0:27:31 > 0:27:34I think it needs resting, it needs rest!

0:27:34 > 0:27:36Take care of your old ticker, Jim!

0:27:40 > 0:27:44Now, let's hop in with Roberta and Paul.

0:27:44 > 0:27:45Of all the characters you've played,

0:27:45 > 0:27:50are there any that you look back really fondly on,

0:27:50 > 0:27:53or you're most proud of?

0:27:53 > 0:27:58I suppose it has to be playing Amanda in Private Lives at the Citizens,

0:27:58 > 0:28:01because we had only ten days to rehearse it,

0:28:01 > 0:28:03the theatre didn't have any money, so two of the directors played the

0:28:03 > 0:28:08men in it, so it was a cheap wage bill, and it got wonderful reviews,

0:28:08 > 0:28:13even the London reviews, and it packed theatre out, and it was funny to do.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19Whilst over in the stylish French motor...

0:28:20 > 0:28:21Find the inner Genghis.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23The inner Genghis!

0:28:23 > 0:28:24SHE LAUGHS

0:28:24 > 0:28:30I think my inner Genghis yesterday became my inner Mary Poppins, I wasn't quite...

0:28:30 > 0:28:32Oh, blimey. Moving swiftly on.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36Trudie and James have arrived in the area of Newhouse in

0:28:36 > 0:28:38North Lanarkshire.

0:28:40 > 0:28:43Greenside Antique Centre is their next shopping destination.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47Right, here we are.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Come on, James!- It's all in the wrong place!- Come on!

0:28:57 > 0:29:01Dealer Alan has already thought of something that might tempt our Sarge.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04- Now...- Ah! Ah!

0:29:04 > 0:29:08- Now, wouldn't that suit you?- A police hat and a truncheon.

0:29:08 > 0:29:12- Handcuffs, too.- Yeah. Does that slightly predate The Bill?

0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Slightly.- Yeah, that's World War II.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17Yes, it does, I'm not that old!

0:29:17 > 0:29:19You cheeky blighter, James!

0:29:20 > 0:29:21Can I have a look at it?

0:29:21 > 0:29:24- Can we have a look at it?- Course. I'll get the key for you.

0:29:24 > 0:29:25Get the key for us.

0:29:25 > 0:29:26Oh, I like that.

0:29:26 > 0:29:30This style of helmet was invented in 1915 by John Brodie

0:29:30 > 0:29:32for use in World War I.

0:29:32 > 0:29:37It was designed to minimise injury from shell splinters and shrapnel.

0:29:37 > 0:29:38- Now...- Look at that.

0:29:38 > 0:29:43- There we are.- God, why do I keep finding things that are heavy?

0:29:43 > 0:29:44- I know.- That's... Feel that.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46- Feel the weight.- Wow!- It is heavy, isn't it?

0:29:46 > 0:29:48That could almost repel a direct hit.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50- Couldn't it?- Yes.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52If you were wearing that all day, you'd about it, wouldn't you?

0:29:52 > 0:29:54Just...

0:29:55 > 0:29:57What do you think? What do you think?

0:29:57 > 0:29:58Well, all right, Sarge.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02Just ignore him, Trudie.

0:30:04 > 0:30:05Now, what about Roberta and Paul?

0:30:07 > 0:30:12This isn't as easy as we'd like it to be, is it?

0:30:12 > 0:30:14If it was, we'd all be rich.

0:30:14 > 0:30:19No, no. It is easier in one way, cos it's so much fun.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22And I don't have to learn any lines.

0:30:22 > 0:30:23You certainly don't.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27We're heading to the area of Balfron Station,

0:30:27 > 0:30:30just south of Aberfoyle in Stirlingshire.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34Country Homes Antiques, owned by Andrew,

0:30:34 > 0:30:37is next on Roberta and Paul's hit list.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39At last, shopping, shopping, shopping.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42Please let it be good, please let it be good, please let it be good.

0:30:42 > 0:30:43HE LAUGHS

0:30:43 > 0:30:47- Please let them be nice.- You've said your prayers to the antique gods? - Yes.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52This family business was first opened in 1985.

0:30:52 > 0:30:55Let's see what we can sniff out in here.

0:30:56 > 0:30:57OK.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07So many fantastic things here.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11What's Roberta found down here?

0:31:13 > 0:31:14That yellow plate.

0:31:14 > 0:31:15Can you tell me about this?

0:31:15 > 0:31:17Is that going to turn out to be Scottish?

0:31:19 > 0:31:23Victorian, by the looks of things. Let's see. Let's have a look.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25Any clues... So...

0:31:25 > 0:31:27- Pretty colours, aren't they? - Earthenware.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29Scottish pottery ashet.

0:31:29 > 0:31:33This period, which is late 19th century, is charming.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35What does it say to you?

0:31:35 > 0:31:38- Summer.- Yeah.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40Bright, cheery, breezy.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42Auld Heather Ware, Scotland.

0:31:42 > 0:31:46Do you know what, I suspect it's slightly younger than I had thought.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48- Really?- Yeah. Yeah, it could be early 20th century.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51- That's a good, honest thing, isn't it?- Mmm.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53And it's priced at £68.

0:31:53 > 0:31:57Auld Heather Ware was produced by Methvens,

0:31:57 > 0:32:00a pottery once based in Kirkcaldy, in Fife.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03And busy bee Roberta has found something else!

0:32:03 > 0:32:05- No stopping her.- Is this...

0:32:06 > 0:32:08..lovely or boring?

0:32:08 > 0:32:11Cos I've seen this on the show, things like this.

0:32:12 > 0:32:14Do you hate it? I can tell by your face you hate it.

0:32:19 > 0:32:20I expected more from you.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Tell me, why, why, why, why?

0:32:28 > 0:32:31Well, in the kind of '80s,

0:32:31 > 0:32:34you could get things like this quite cheaply.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Portobello Road.- OK.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38It's unpriced, but on the list.

0:32:38 > 0:32:42- What else?- I just love the colour of this.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45- But I don't know what it is.- Neither do I.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47Good. I've caught you out!

0:32:48 > 0:32:52She's good. Of course he knows what it is.

0:32:52 > 0:32:57Out of Northwest Europe in this modernist era, your Art Nouveau,

0:32:57 > 0:33:00your Arts and Crafts, because this is certainly Arts and Crafts, is

0:33:00 > 0:33:03- looking to the medieval era for inspiration.- Oh!

0:33:03 > 0:33:08You get revival in these bodies, these glazes, and forms.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10And it's priced at £48.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18Whilst those two mount up the potentials...

0:33:18 > 0:33:20- James.- ..let's swing back to Trudie and James,

0:33:20 > 0:33:2230 miles away in north Lanarkshire.

0:33:22 > 0:33:24What's that? What an earth have you found there?

0:33:24 > 0:33:26It's a spirit level.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29- That is a rather splendid spirit level, I would say.- Can we have a look at that?

0:33:29 > 0:33:31- Alan?- OK.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34At the double, please.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37Sarge wants to look in the cabinet.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43- Sorry.- I was looking, no, at...

0:33:43 > 0:33:47..the spirit level. My dad used to have some beautiful tools.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49- There we are.- And, oh...

0:33:49 > 0:33:51- What does it feel like?- That feels like...

0:33:51 > 0:33:54Ooh, it's lovely, it's all smooth and very...

0:33:54 > 0:33:55Again, it's a heavy object!

0:33:55 > 0:33:57If it's heavy, it's ours.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00Ah, yes. The Braxton weight test.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02Whatever you say, chief.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04It's priced at £75.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06What it is, we've got rosewood.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08- Rosewood.- Rosewood.

0:34:08 > 0:34:09Terribly...

0:34:11 > 0:34:14Lovely. Just a really nice, tropical hardwood.

0:34:14 > 0:34:15And then this is...

0:34:17 > 0:34:21..party and contra party, it's a form of marquetry,

0:34:21 > 0:34:24so you've got brass as the subject and the surround being the wood.

0:34:24 > 0:34:26So you have got two forms of marquetry.

0:34:26 > 0:34:27Party and contra party?

0:34:27 > 0:34:29- Exactly.- I have never heard of that.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34Level with me. Does it work?

0:34:34 > 0:34:36- So, it just needs...- There it goes.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38You just need... What a long bubble!

0:34:38 > 0:34:40- That work?- Yes.- You just need to...

0:34:40 > 0:34:43- You're slightly out, Alan.- You are slightly out.

0:34:43 > 0:34:44Rebuild it, immediately.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46- It's not level!- Isn't that lovely?

0:34:46 > 0:34:50- I just, it's just a nice thing. - I think it's the smartest spirit

0:34:50 > 0:34:52- level I've ever seen.- Yeah, me too.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55Alan, what could you do on that?

0:34:55 > 0:34:57No clues, don't look at the ticket.

0:34:57 > 0:34:58- Come on.- Well, for you...

0:34:58 > 0:35:00- What could you do?- 35?

0:35:00 > 0:35:02- 35.- Give you a chance at the auction.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05That would give us a hell of a chance.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07- Oh.- 30?- Oh, the pause.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09I noticed the pause.

0:35:09 > 0:35:10- 30?- Well...

0:35:10 > 0:35:12- Sarge.- OK. I don't think...

0:35:12 > 0:35:14Do we think that's all right?

0:35:14 > 0:35:16Shake the man's hand immediately.

0:35:16 > 0:35:17£30, you're done.

0:35:17 > 0:35:19Sarge, good, good buy.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21This is heavy, I could hit you over the head with this.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24Yeah. I might then need a helmet.

0:35:24 > 0:35:25Ah! Shall we look at the helmet?

0:35:25 > 0:35:27Shall we look at the helmet?

0:35:27 > 0:35:29If you want.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31Come on. Have you got your key?

0:35:31 > 0:35:34- I've still got it in the pocket, there.- Good thinking, Alan.

0:35:34 > 0:35:38Remember, that helmet is priced at £75. Stand by.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40It's lovely, isn't it?

0:35:40 > 0:35:42- It is.- I like that.

0:35:42 > 0:35:4535? Do that for you?

0:35:46 > 0:35:49I think this might be quite difficult to shift.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52- Do you? Really?- In Harrogate.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55Harrogate. They're law-abiding citizens there, aren't they?

0:35:55 > 0:35:56Yes. 25.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59- You never know, it could be handy.- 25.

0:35:59 > 0:36:00MEN GASP

0:36:00 > 0:36:02Well... 28?

0:36:03 > 0:36:06Get you something on it.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09- 25.- You're a very hard woman!

0:36:09 > 0:36:12- OK, 25.- Aww!

0:36:12 > 0:36:14- Well done.- Are you happy with that?- It's a deal.

0:36:14 > 0:36:15Well done.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17Thank you very much, Alan.

0:36:17 > 0:36:19Alan, well done.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21- I might have to kiss you.- No, no!

0:36:23 > 0:36:24Well, there you are.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27- Look at that.- Police helmet, and I think those...

0:36:27 > 0:36:29I think... I am pleased with those, you know.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32- Winners.- I'm pleased with those.- Winners.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35Blooming heck, Trudie, that was good going.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38A total of £55 on the World War II helmet

0:36:38 > 0:36:40and the rosewood spirit level.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42£5 change for you.

0:36:42 > 0:36:44- Aw!- Oh, thank you. And a receipt.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46- Isn't that lovely? - Thank you very much, Alan.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49- That's great.- Thank you very much indeed.- You're welcome.- Right, OK.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51- We can carry these.- Can I take the helmet, Sarge?

0:36:51 > 0:36:53Yes, you dare say Sarge, though...

0:36:53 > 0:36:55- All right, Sarge.- Oh, you...

0:36:55 > 0:36:56- Right.- All right.- Right!

0:36:56 > 0:36:59- That's it! Lovely to meet you. - Take care, bye.

0:37:01 > 0:37:05Now, has Roberta rooted out any more potentials over in Newhouse?

0:37:06 > 0:37:08This tray...

0:37:08 > 0:37:09What is it apart from a tray?

0:37:09 > 0:37:12I mean, its design, how is it done?

0:37:12 > 0:37:17OK. I suspect you're looking at pyrography.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21- What?- Is that an illness?

0:37:21 > 0:37:23It was murder, Inspector.

0:37:24 > 0:37:25BOTH LAUGH

0:37:25 > 0:37:28That was a bit Taggart there. How does that crossover work?

0:37:28 > 0:37:31- That worked, yes. - Pyrography - poker work.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34Is that '30s?

0:37:34 > 0:37:36You're right for period.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38I think 1930s. It is a tea tray.

0:37:39 > 0:37:43Those wooden elements there, not bamboo, faux bamboo.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45These are turned in the socket.

0:37:45 > 0:37:49And you get your soldering iron, your poker or whatever,

0:37:49 > 0:37:53and you get it hot and you just scorch the pattern.

0:37:53 > 0:37:54Prepare yourself, Andrew.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56- Here they come.- Hello.

0:37:56 > 0:37:58- Hi there.- Hello, I'm Roberta.

0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Hi, Roberta.- Lovely to meet you.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Paul, pleased to meet you.- Hi, Paul. - We love your...

0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Thank you very much.- ..emporium, your tent.

0:38:06 > 0:38:10- Now, that's the schmoozing over... - Uh-huh.- We have had a good mooch around...

0:38:10 > 0:38:12Sure have. And as a reminder,

0:38:12 > 0:38:16Roberta likes the look of the Scottish earthenware serving dish,

0:38:16 > 0:38:18the arts and crafts vase,

0:38:18 > 0:38:19the pewter tea set,

0:38:19 > 0:38:22and the poker-worked tea tray.

0:38:22 > 0:38:23£100 for the lot.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Jeez!- Doesn't muck about, does she?!

0:38:25 > 0:38:27THEY LAUGH

0:38:27 > 0:38:30Where did that come from?!

0:38:30 > 0:38:31Cor blimey, Roberta.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34If you don't ask, you don't get, I suppose.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36I think we're struggling at that.

0:38:36 > 0:38:37I'll give you the pewter set.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39I mean, it is a nice set.

0:38:39 > 0:38:40I'll give it to you for 60.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42That's too much.

0:38:42 > 0:38:47- Still too much?- I reckon that is 30, £40 at auction.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49105.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55- But purely because I love them. - Put it there.

0:38:55 > 0:38:56HE LAUGHS

0:38:56 > 0:38:57You! Lethal!

0:38:57 > 0:39:00- Done all right, hasn't she? Done all right!- I'm hugging you.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02Yeah, well done.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05Congratulations, Roberta.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08£25 for the Scottish earthenware serving dish,

0:39:08 > 0:39:12£20 on the Arts and Crafts three handle vase,

0:39:12 > 0:39:16and the combo lot of the Arts and Crafts pewter tea service and the

0:39:16 > 0:39:18poker-worked tray for £60,

0:39:18 > 0:39:20totalling £105.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22That is what you call a deal.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25- Come on. Come on, come on.- Is this a getaway?

0:39:25 > 0:39:27- Yes!- I did pay, didn't I?- Yes!

0:39:34 > 0:39:37Meanwhile, Trudie and James have hot-footed it

0:39:37 > 0:39:40to the north Lanarkshire town of Kilsyth.

0:39:41 > 0:39:46As our celebrities and experts road trip around the country,

0:39:46 > 0:39:49dry stone walls are a very familiar sight.

0:39:49 > 0:39:53They survive as the oldest relic of our farming heritage.

0:39:53 > 0:39:57Trudie is a bit of an outdoors gal, and, as a special treat,

0:39:57 > 0:40:00she's come to learn the little-known story of the stones that helped

0:40:00 > 0:40:03build rural Britain.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06The man in the know is the chairman of the West of Scotland

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Dry Walling Association,

0:40:08 > 0:40:10John New.

0:40:10 > 0:40:13John. Hello! Trudie.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15Very nice to meet you. I'm so looking forward to this.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17- James.- Hello, John.

0:40:18 > 0:40:24There are over 180,000 miles of dry stone walls in the UK.

0:40:24 > 0:40:29Construction of these walls without the use of mortar or cement is a

0:40:29 > 0:40:31skill passed down through generations.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36Do you know, it's not just a craft, but an art?

0:40:36 > 0:40:40Walling will go back over 1,000 years in this country.

0:40:40 > 0:40:44- Really?- It's been here for as long as there's been stones.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46Way back, 1,000 years ago,

0:40:46 > 0:40:49the fields weren't really a defined item.

0:40:49 > 0:40:53It was more protection for livestock.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56So we see it all over Britain, the proliferation of walling.

0:40:56 > 0:41:00It really came to its peak in that kind of period.

0:41:00 > 0:41:05The 18th-century enclosure law created legal property rights to

0:41:05 > 0:41:08land that was previously considered common.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10Between the 17th and 20th centuries,

0:41:10 > 0:41:166.8 million acres of land were enclosed within Britain.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19Dry stone walling was the quickest and most efficient process to form

0:41:19 > 0:41:22- boundaries.- The stone was there.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25It had been cleared by farmers for years and generations to the side of

0:41:25 > 0:41:28the fields, when they were ploughing.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31So the stone was probably there at the edges of the fields,

0:41:31 > 0:41:36and the next practical, logical step would be to then create walls.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40I suppose you could also move the walls around, if you were suddenly

0:41:40 > 0:41:42given another bit of land, or...

0:41:42 > 0:41:45Well, that's right. They tended to, as they divided the land

0:41:45 > 0:41:48and land was passed on from farmers...

0:41:49 > 0:41:51..down...divided between their sons,

0:41:51 > 0:41:55then all they had to do was divide a field with another wall.

0:41:55 > 0:41:59Walls are predominantly found in north and western Britain,

0:41:59 > 0:42:03and vary in style and colour due to the natural stone supply of each

0:42:03 > 0:42:08region. A good waller can build four to six yards a day.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10Today, fewer walls are being built

0:42:10 > 0:42:13and it's more a case of maintenance.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15But the skill required is the same.

0:42:15 > 0:42:20So here we have a classic gap in a wall.

0:42:20 > 0:42:21If you leave it as it is,

0:42:21 > 0:42:26it'll just deteriorate further and eventually the whole wall will

0:42:26 > 0:42:30collapse. So it requires rebuilding from this point upwards.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33You see the stone is always worked in the way...

0:42:33 > 0:42:37- Yes.- ..towards the centre, longways in, and that gives it the strength.

0:42:39 > 0:42:41The hearting is in the centre here.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44- It would fit in...- Oh, yes. - Look at that.

0:42:44 > 0:42:45- Yes.- See, like that, there?

0:42:45 > 0:42:47- That is perfect.- Oh, I see, I see.

0:42:47 > 0:42:49- You see?- That holds that together. - Yes.- Stops it rocking.

0:42:49 > 0:42:52Then, what would you then put to fill in that bit?

0:42:52 > 0:42:55- Well, that's where the skill comes in.- Oh, that is where...

0:42:55 > 0:42:58- Where you have to...- Yes.- You start to look round at your stone pile and...

0:42:58 > 0:43:00Stand back, John.

0:43:00 > 0:43:01HE LAUGHS

0:43:01 > 0:43:02Yeah, right, James.

0:43:04 > 0:43:07So that's a better-looking candidate.

0:43:07 > 0:43:08Oh, that's better, sorry.

0:43:08 > 0:43:12Oh, very good. That's perfect.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15- You could get a job with me, Trudie. - Look at that!

0:43:15 > 0:43:17Yeah. Not so sure about old James!

0:43:17 > 0:43:19Oh, the clunk.

0:43:19 > 0:43:22- The clunk!- That's the technical term, of course.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25So, you need to have it round that way, actually, James.

0:43:25 > 0:43:27- Hark at you!- Do try and concentrate.

0:43:27 > 0:43:30- Hark at you!- He's not so good at that.

0:43:30 > 0:43:33It's like an adult jigsaw puzzle, isn't it?

0:43:33 > 0:43:37- If you say so.- I could happily spend all day doing that.

0:43:37 > 0:43:38Thank you ever so much.

0:43:38 > 0:43:40It's been a pleasure having you, Trudie.

0:43:40 > 0:43:42- Delightful to meet you.- Really lovely, John.

0:43:42 > 0:43:44- Thank you very much.- Yeah.- Really lovely.- Thank you.

0:43:44 > 0:43:48- I think you have an aptitude for this.- Do you think?

0:43:48 > 0:43:51Dry stone walls offer not just protection for livestock,

0:43:51 > 0:43:54they are works of art, and a living history.

0:43:56 > 0:43:57Look at that shot.

0:44:05 > 0:44:07Meanwhile, Roberta and Paul have

0:44:07 > 0:44:08motored their way to the town of

0:44:08 > 0:44:11Callander, in Stirling.

0:44:11 > 0:44:13I am no actor.

0:44:13 > 0:44:16Er, um, sorry, I think you are, and that's why you get such good bargains!

0:44:16 > 0:44:18HE LAUGHS

0:44:18 > 0:44:22Our pair have £125 left in their bag of cash.

0:44:23 > 0:44:26Ta-da!

0:44:26 > 0:44:30Could be tricky...

0:44:30 > 0:44:31HE LAUGHS

0:44:31 > 0:44:33Look at that for precision work!

0:44:33 > 0:44:34Perfection, Paul.

0:44:34 > 0:44:38This is the last chance for this pair of lovelies to shop.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40What goodies can they find in here?

0:44:42 > 0:44:43- Hello.- Hello, how are you?

0:44:43 > 0:44:45- I'm Roberta.- Hello, Roberta.

0:44:45 > 0:44:47How are you doing? I'm Paul.

0:44:47 > 0:44:48- Hello, Paul.- You are?

0:44:48 > 0:44:49- George.- Good to see you.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51- Hello, George.- Good to see you.

0:44:56 > 0:44:57You could be on a roll, you see.

0:44:59 > 0:45:03- They're sort of the same idea, aren't they?- Yeah, they're all relatives.

0:45:03 > 0:45:05Now, what's this?

0:45:05 > 0:45:09What do you make of that?

0:45:09 > 0:45:11- What does that say?- About a railway?

0:45:11 > 0:45:13HE LAUGHS

0:45:13 > 0:45:16It is heavy enough to be part of a railway locomotive.

0:45:16 > 0:45:17It says London.

0:45:18 > 0:45:20I know what that is now.

0:45:20 > 0:45:23If I turn it up that way, are you getting any clues?

0:45:23 > 0:45:25Because that's the right way up, and it's only half of it.

0:45:25 > 0:45:27- A bottle?- It's a bottle mould.

0:45:27 > 0:45:31- Oh, how funny.- So this is one half of a two-piece mould.

0:45:31 > 0:45:34- Right.- And either mechanically...

0:45:35 > 0:45:39..or, I don't know, for all I know, by mouth,

0:45:39 > 0:45:44a bubble of glass is blown into the mould. Let it set, cool down,

0:45:44 > 0:45:46open up the mould, there you go.

0:45:46 > 0:45:49And that's for London.

0:45:49 > 0:45:50That'll be London gin, won't it?

0:45:50 > 0:45:54- Yes.- The other half of that square section bottle said gin.

0:45:56 > 0:45:58It's not priced.

0:45:58 > 0:46:00Let's get dealer George in, to talk cash.

0:46:03 > 0:46:04How about £30?

0:46:05 > 0:46:07It doesn't sound dear.

0:46:07 > 0:46:10But at the same time, how do you put a value on that?

0:46:10 > 0:46:1215 quid or nothing.

0:46:12 > 0:46:16- 15 quid?- That is categorical, that.

0:46:16 > 0:46:17It is, isn't it?

0:46:18 > 0:46:21- Known fact.- How about making it £17?

0:46:21 > 0:46:24Only £2, but it makes me feel good.

0:46:24 > 0:46:26- What about £16.50?- How about £16.50?

0:46:26 > 0:46:30- That'll do.- You're not arguing over 50 pences.- £16.50?- Sorry?- Did you say yes to £16...?

0:46:30 > 0:46:31- I said £16.50, yeah.- There you are.

0:46:31 > 0:46:34- Done.- We're not going to argue over 50p, OK?- Thank you very much.

0:46:34 > 0:46:37Well done, Roberta. That's a shake.

0:46:37 > 0:46:40- I'll give you...- 20.- ..your note.

0:46:40 > 0:46:42And 3.50 change.

0:46:42 > 0:46:44- Thank you very much, George.- Thank you.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47That Roberta is one heck of a negotiator.

0:46:47 > 0:46:50And that concludes the buying for this trip.

0:46:52 > 0:46:57Shopping complete, time to reunite and have a nosy at one another's buys.

0:46:57 > 0:47:01- I love this bit.- Lovely weather, and lovely shopping, wasn't it?

0:47:01 > 0:47:02It was, we had a lovely afternoon.

0:47:02 > 0:47:04Well, ours was lovelier.

0:47:04 > 0:47:05- Yes.- And BETTER weather.

0:47:05 > 0:47:08Oh, was it? Rubbish, can't be!

0:47:08 > 0:47:11- ROBERTA:- And we shopped for longer and bigger and better.

0:47:11 > 0:47:12And spent more money!

0:47:13 > 0:47:15- Oooh!- Ready, steady...

0:47:15 > 0:47:20- And...- Reveal. There we are.- OK.

0:47:20 > 0:47:21O-o-o-oh!

0:47:21 > 0:47:23Right.

0:47:25 > 0:47:27- Right.- Well, this has to be seen like that.

0:47:27 > 0:47:28- You had to have that.- Yeah.

0:47:28 > 0:47:30I thought I sort of had to have that.

0:47:30 > 0:47:32It fits beautifully, doesn't it?

0:47:32 > 0:47:34- Go on.- It does fit me quite well.

0:47:34 > 0:47:36- Look at that.- See? - Dad's Army in one.

0:47:36 > 0:47:38Yeah.

0:47:38 > 0:47:40- World War II.- World War II.

0:47:40 > 0:47:42- Very good.- What do you think?

0:47:42 > 0:47:44I think that was a great buy.

0:47:45 > 0:47:47Are the coffee spoons enamelled?

0:47:47 > 0:47:50- Yeah.- Enamelled on? - Enamel, silver gilt.

0:47:50 > 0:47:52Stirling. 925.

0:47:52 > 0:47:53Yeah, very good.

0:47:53 > 0:47:55- They look...- Quite pretty, aren't they?

0:47:55 > 0:47:57They really look lovely.

0:47:57 > 0:47:59They are beyond quite pretty.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01Roberta and Paul's turn now.

0:48:01 > 0:48:03Go on, reveal all.

0:48:03 > 0:48:06- OK. One, two, three... - Valuable items.

0:48:06 > 0:48:08Ooh!

0:48:08 > 0:48:11- Oh, my word.- Oh, nice!- Ooh!

0:48:11 > 0:48:15- Ta-da!- Yes. - You could furnish a bedsit here.

0:48:15 > 0:48:18ALL LAUGH

0:48:18 > 0:48:21- What's the radiator? - Indeed.- Radiator?

0:48:21 > 0:48:24What on earth do you think this...

0:48:24 > 0:48:26- I will give you a clue.- "London".

0:48:26 > 0:48:29Oh, gin. Gin bottle mould.

0:48:29 > 0:48:32- London gin!- Oh, London gin mould.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34And then that's a clock.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36Yeah. A clock made from...

0:48:38 > 0:48:39- An aeroplane.- Yeah.

0:48:39 > 0:48:40PAUL LAUGHS

0:48:40 > 0:48:42Made from a propeller thing.

0:48:42 > 0:48:44- Yes.- Ah, yes!

0:48:44 > 0:48:46That was like Give Us A Clue!

0:48:46 > 0:48:50- We'll see you... - We'll see you at the auction.

0:48:50 > 0:48:51Showdown, at the auction.

0:48:51 > 0:48:53At the auction. Come on, come on.

0:48:53 > 0:48:55Come on, quick.

0:48:56 > 0:48:58Come on, you lot, spill the beans.

0:48:59 > 0:49:02If you could have only one of their lots, to swap,

0:49:02 > 0:49:03what would you take?

0:49:04 > 0:49:06- The helmet.- I think I'd swap the

0:49:06 > 0:49:09cabinet for the blooming brass table.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11- Would you?- Yeah.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13Well, I'll tell you what, I think it could be close.

0:49:13 > 0:49:15Yeah, I think so. Come on.

0:49:15 > 0:49:16- Let's mull it over.- Yes.

0:49:16 > 0:49:18- We'll be all right.- Yeah.

0:49:18 > 0:49:20We'll take it. Come on.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27Auction time beckons.

0:49:27 > 0:49:30We're off to the village of Killinghall in Harrogate.

0:49:34 > 0:49:36Go on, where are these lovely ladies?

0:49:36 > 0:49:38I expect a dramatic entrance.

0:49:38 > 0:49:42If I'm honest, I would like to probably do better than you.

0:49:45 > 0:49:50Thompson's auctioneers is the location for our auction showdown.

0:49:50 > 0:49:52And I'm just going to say, "The kettle's on, Sarge.

0:49:53 > 0:49:55"OK? Kettle's on."

0:49:56 > 0:49:57You'd better watch it, Braxton.

0:49:57 > 0:50:00There they are. Very good.

0:50:00 > 0:50:02Oh, quick...

0:50:03 > 0:50:04- Here we are. Go on.- Get it on.

0:50:04 > 0:50:06Gather your lady.

0:50:07 > 0:50:08How are you doing, Rob?

0:50:08 > 0:50:10Good morning, Sarge.

0:50:10 > 0:50:12How are you? How are you?

0:50:12 > 0:50:13How are you?

0:50:17 > 0:50:20Just get in the door, you lot.

0:50:21 > 0:50:26Roberta and Paul spent £291.50 on six lots -

0:50:26 > 0:50:31Roberta proving to be one savvy negotiator.

0:50:31 > 0:50:33Excuse me, sir. Excuse me.

0:50:33 > 0:50:39Trudie and James spent £240 exactly on five auction lots.

0:50:39 > 0:50:41Trudie certainly wasn't afraid to name her price.

0:50:49 > 0:50:5015. 18.

0:50:50 > 0:50:53Lawrence Peat is the man in command of the rostrum.

0:50:53 > 0:50:56What does he think of our roadtrippers' wares?

0:50:57 > 0:50:58The spirit level's quite nice.

0:50:58 > 0:51:01I's quite decorative. Again, it's something you can still use.

0:51:01 > 0:51:03I've taken a couple of phone calls already on that,

0:51:03 > 0:51:05so there's a bit of interest in that.

0:51:05 > 0:51:08The stationery cabinet's going to do better than anything

0:51:08 > 0:51:11else in here. I think it's probably the nicest thing that's come in, so...

0:51:11 > 0:51:14And, again, there's already a fair bit of interest in it.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16Well, that sounds promising.

0:51:18 > 0:51:23This sale is also open to internet bidders, and it's a busy saleroom.

0:51:23 > 0:51:27Time for our stars to take their seats. Stand by.

0:51:27 > 0:51:31First up, it's Roberta's weighty London gin bottle mould.

0:51:31 > 0:51:36140 is a Gordon's London gin bottle mould.

0:51:36 > 0:51:37It is good. It is a good item.

0:51:37 > 0:51:40We didn't think we'd find anything else, but he was still rummaging.

0:51:40 > 0:51:43- 72.- 70, do I see 72?

0:51:43 > 0:51:47Are we all done on commission at £70?

0:51:47 > 0:51:49- Oh.- Ah!- How much did you pay for that?

0:51:49 > 0:51:51- £16.50.- Oh!

0:51:51 > 0:51:54Are you enjoying it any more now? How are you feeling now?

0:51:54 > 0:51:56A standing start, Roberta.

0:51:56 > 0:51:59Well done. Next, it's Trudie with the Chinese folding table -

0:51:59 > 0:52:01the buy she kind of regrets.

0:52:01 > 0:52:03Start me off at £10 for it.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05Ten. Ten, we have.

0:52:05 > 0:52:07- 12 anywhere?- Great.

0:52:07 > 0:52:10In at £10. 12. 15? 18?

0:52:10 > 0:52:12No? £15 with the lady.

0:52:12 > 0:52:14- JAMES:- £15. How much did we pay for it?

0:52:14 > 0:52:16- A lot more than that.- Sell at 15.

0:52:16 > 0:52:20- A lot more than that.- 50?- We're gutted, we're gutted for them!

0:52:20 > 0:52:22There's no justice.

0:52:22 > 0:52:23Hey, it's not that bad, Trudie.

0:52:23 > 0:52:25We've seen a lot worse, believe me!

0:52:25 > 0:52:27See, look! They're smiling.

0:52:28 > 0:52:30That's just...

0:52:31 > 0:52:35Roberta, you are next with the rather smart oak stationery cabinet.

0:52:35 > 0:52:39Got to go straight in at £80, 90 now.

0:52:39 > 0:52:42- Well done.- With me at 80. Do I see... 90, we have. 100 anywhere?

0:52:42 > 0:52:48100, 110. 120. 130, 140. 150, 160.

0:52:48 > 0:52:50150 at the back.

0:52:50 > 0:52:51At £150.

0:52:51 > 0:52:53I shall sell at £150.

0:52:53 > 0:52:55Are we all done?

0:52:55 > 0:52:56That's very good.

0:52:57 > 0:53:00Indeed it is. Excellent start, Roberta.

0:53:01 > 0:53:04- I'm just going to go.- No, no, no!

0:53:05 > 0:53:09Come on, Trudie. It's your beautiful set of Scandinavian spoons next.

0:53:10 > 0:53:12Got to go straight in at £50.

0:53:12 > 0:53:1355 anywhere?

0:53:13 > 0:53:15- Profit, profit, you see? - 50, do I see?

0:53:15 > 0:53:1655 we have.

0:53:16 > 0:53:18Lady's bid at 55.

0:53:18 > 0:53:21- 60 anywhere?- Come on. Come on, 60.- I shall sell at 55...

0:53:21 > 0:53:2260, sorry.

0:53:22 > 0:53:2465. And 70.

0:53:24 > 0:53:26No? 65 with the lady seated.

0:53:26 > 0:53:29Are we all done at £65?

0:53:29 > 0:53:31That's all right, Sarge. 30 quid...

0:53:31 > 0:53:33- ..in the old pocket.- 30 quid.

0:53:33 > 0:53:37Splendid. But I think you're heading for a bop on the nose, James.

0:53:37 > 0:53:38We've almost recovered.

0:53:38 > 0:53:40We've almost recovered our loss.

0:53:40 > 0:53:45Onwards. It's Roberta's beloved three-handled vase next.

0:53:45 > 0:53:47Commission starts with me on this one at £12.

0:54:00 > 0:54:01It's worth £1,000.

0:54:01 > 0:54:03THEY LAUGH

0:54:03 > 0:54:04Hey, not quite!

0:54:04 > 0:54:07Plenty more lots to go, though, Roberta.

0:54:25 > 0:54:27At £40. 69.

0:54:27 > 0:54:28What a lovely item.

0:54:28 > 0:54:32It really is. At least there's a bit of profit there, though.

0:54:32 > 0:54:35- A bit of commission eroding profit? - No, no. We're still on top.

0:54:35 > 0:54:37Eight quid. Two quid, in the bin.

0:54:37 > 0:54:39It's not enough, though, is it, James?

0:54:39 > 0:54:41Have faith, Trudie.

0:54:41 > 0:54:45Roberta's turn next with the Scottish earthenware serving dish.

0:54:45 > 0:54:47Start me off at ten.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49Ten we have. 15.

0:54:49 > 0:54:51Yeah, 20.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53No? £15 seated.

0:54:53 > 0:54:5620. 25. £20

0:54:56 > 0:54:58behind you, sir. Do you want to go 25?

0:54:58 > 0:55:00And 30. No?

0:55:00 > 0:55:02£25 with the gentleman seated.

0:55:02 > 0:55:04Are we all done? I shall sell for £25.

0:55:06 > 0:55:08I think we did fine.

0:55:08 > 0:55:10Dear, oh, dear. Someone's not happy.

0:55:10 > 0:55:12That's worth £100.

0:55:12 > 0:55:14Easily, Roberta!

0:55:14 > 0:55:16Now, Trudie, it's your turn.

0:55:16 > 0:55:19Your World War II police helmet is up.

0:55:19 > 0:55:23A bit of interest in here. I've got to go in at 25, 28 now.

0:55:29 > 0:55:3230 anywhere? Gentlemen's bid at £28.

0:55:32 > 0:55:34Are we all done at 28?

0:55:34 > 0:55:36Just a slither of a profit.

0:55:36 > 0:55:38That is a real shame.

0:55:38 > 0:55:41What a tremendous buy for one lucky collector.

0:55:41 > 0:55:44I don't believe that!

0:55:44 > 0:55:49- What's happening?!- Roberta's World War I propeller clock is next.

0:55:49 > 0:55:53A lot of commission on here and I've got to go straight in at £70,

0:55:53 > 0:55:5475 anywhere?

0:55:54 > 0:55:57With me at 70. Do I see 75? We have.

0:55:57 > 0:55:58At 80 anywhere?

0:55:58 > 0:56:00What's happening here, Trudie, Sarge?

0:56:00 > 0:56:0570. Go on, get up and arrest them.

0:56:05 > 0:56:07Are we all done at 75?

0:56:07 > 0:56:09- I think we are.- We've lost money on it.

0:56:09 > 0:56:11- Have you? Oh, no, really?- 75.

0:56:12 > 0:56:15Oh, what a shame!

0:56:15 > 0:56:17- Really!- Play nicely, you two.

0:56:17 > 0:56:19Commiserations, Roberta.

0:56:21 > 0:56:25All I'm going to say is thank God it wasn't mine, he found that.

0:56:25 > 0:56:26All Paul's fault.

0:56:27 > 0:56:30Trudie's gilt metal lantern next.

0:56:30 > 0:56:32Start me off at £50.

0:56:32 > 0:56:33Nobody at 50.

0:56:33 > 0:56:3530, then.

0:56:35 > 0:56:3720. 20 we have.

0:56:37 > 0:56:39- 25 anywhere?- Ooh, the shame!

0:56:39 > 0:56:40Gentleman's bid at £20.

0:56:43 > 0:56:45Hands everywhere. Hands everywhere.

0:56:45 > 0:56:48And 40. 45. £40

0:56:48 > 0:56:50standing at the back of the room.

0:56:50 > 0:56:52Are we all done at £40?

0:56:54 > 0:56:56Ooh!

0:56:56 > 0:56:58- £40.- Oh, dear.

0:56:59 > 0:57:01I knew it.

0:57:01 > 0:57:03We got carried away.

0:57:03 > 0:57:04We got carried away.

0:57:04 > 0:57:06Sorry about that, darling.

0:57:06 > 0:57:08That's terrible.

0:57:08 > 0:57:09Right, it's the last lot of the day -

0:57:09 > 0:57:12The pewter tea set and poker-work tray from Roberta.

0:57:12 > 0:57:15Commission starts with me at 18, 20 now.

0:57:15 > 0:57:17With me at 18. Do I see 20?

0:57:17 > 0:57:20Are we really all done at £18 on that?

0:57:21 > 0:57:2220. Well done.

0:57:22 > 0:57:24- 22 anywhere?- £20.

0:57:24 > 0:57:26- Are we all done at 20?- Here, concentrate, you two.

0:57:26 > 0:57:30- 20. Sold for 20.- We didn't...

0:57:30 > 0:57:35Ouch! But someone's off with a car boot full of pewter and poker work.

0:57:35 > 0:57:37- Hot, sweet tea.- It's exhausting, isn't it?

0:57:37 > 0:57:39And exciting. And depressing!

0:57:39 > 0:57:41Drink. Come on, I can't bear the misery.

0:57:42 > 0:57:45Me neither. Now time for calculations.

0:57:45 > 0:57:48Trudie and James started out with £400.

0:57:48 > 0:57:52After all auction costs, they made a loss of £85.84.

0:57:52 > 0:57:57Their final takings are £314.16.

0:57:58 > 0:58:03Roberta and Paul also began with £400 and after all sale room costs,

0:58:07 > 0:58:11Their final earnings are £405.34,

0:58:11 > 0:58:15making them Celebrity Road Trip winners.

0:58:17 > 0:58:21- Bye!- All profits go to Children in Need.- Bye!

0:58:23 > 0:58:26- I'd do this again, wouldn't you? - Oh, it's been huge fun.

0:58:26 > 0:58:27It's been huge fun.

0:58:27 > 0:58:31I have genuinely really, really enjoyed it.

0:58:31 > 0:58:32Bye-bye, lovely ladies.
