No, I don't want to shake hands! | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
Put your pedal to the metal. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
Let me get out of first gear. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
Yeah! | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
Hold on to your hats. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Today's show features a couple of likely lads from Liverpool. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Actors Ricky Tomlinson and Mickey Starke. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
We'll probably stumble on a Picasso or something, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
-like that, you know. -But it'll probably... | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
It'll only be an old one! | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
Yeah! It'll probably be a Picasso pottery jar or something like that. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:15 | |
-That'll do! -In his clay period. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
THEY LAUGH You never know, chaps. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
The fellas have been bezzie mates for 40 years, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
and became household names in the hit '80s soap, Brookside. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
Working-class hero Ricky has starred in many roles over the years, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
but is renowned for his portrayal of sofa sloth Jim Royle | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
in The Royle Family. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
Mickey is a popular and versatile actor. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
His long career includes | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
appearing in hit soaps such as Coronation Street. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
They each have a big bag of readies, a sum of £400. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
If you find an old ear anywhere, it could belong to Van Gogh! | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
I believe Van Gogh's ear is now worth more than his paintings. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
So I've heard. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Boom, boom! | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
Today's experts are our gorgeously fabulous Margie Cooper | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
and Catherine Southon. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Think they are good mates, aren't they, Mickey and Ricky? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
Mickey and Ricky, it sounds like two budgerigars! | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
I used to have a budgie called Ricky. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
-You had a budgie called Ricky? -I did, yeah. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
Used to say, "Who's a little beauty?" | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
He spoke, he was brilliant, was Ricky. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
-How can you have... -That was just a by-the-by. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
How can you have a budgie and call it Ricky? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-Yeah, it's called Ricky. -Ricky! | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
-You didn't have another one called Mickey? -No, I didn't. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Budgerigars? | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Our gal pals have the scrumptious 1976 Triumph Stag. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
I just remember Jim sitting on that sofa, being all kind of like there. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
And watching the telly, he goes, "All right, Barb? | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
"All right, Barb?" | 0:03:06 | 0:03:07 | |
"Go on, Barb!" | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
"Hiya, Barb," you're right. She was called Barbara, wasn't she? | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
-Barb, "Here you are, Barb." -"Here y'are!" | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
-That's about as far as it goes! -Is that it? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
Blimey! | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
Is there any hint of rivalry | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
in the 1965 Daimler, friendly or otherwise? | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
This is a competition here now, to see who can make the most money. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
-Yeah. -Because I'm desperate to win, because in real life, | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
you've got far more money than me. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
-Well... -Far more money than me, from what I've heard. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
It goes without saying. Yeah, but mine's all in property. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
It's buried in the garden. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
Ha-ha! | 0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | |
Kicking off in Knutsford, | 0:03:49 | 0:03:50 | |
our teams will road trip through Cheshire and Merseyside | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
before heading to the West Midlands for an auction in Stourbridge. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
Looks like the girls are fashionably late. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
If you don't hurry up, all the bargains will be gone, lad. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
Hey, it's a good job we're not waiting to get married. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
-Too right! -No, they'll be here in a minute. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
Yeah, I'm sure they will. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:15 | |
-Ah! -Oh, I love it. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
Arriving in style. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
Hello, you're just in time. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Just... Just in time! | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
-Morning. -Good morning! | 0:04:25 | 0:04:26 | |
Mickey's coupling up with Margie and Ricky with Catherine. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
-I am. -Are you ready for the fray? | 0:04:30 | 0:04:31 | |
I certainly... Oh, it's a race! | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
Right, come on. No time for niceties. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
Here we go, the race is on. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
Blimey, they're eager. Right, the clock's ticking, you lot. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
Let's begin with Ricky and Catherine. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
So, this is the start of our journey now, kid. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
It all begins now, kid. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:54 | |
So, we've got to go out with all guns blazing. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
We've got to win, it's imperative. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
-Really? -It's imperative because otherwise, | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
that'll be the talk of Liverpool, that I was beaten by Mickey Starke. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
Oh, we like a bit of passion, Ricky. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:10 | |
Where are the other two? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
Hang on, what's going on here? | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
Do you have any knowledge of roofs on Stag cars? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
No, but I'm willing to learn, Margie. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
That's the spirit, Mickey. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
Seat forward. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
-Ah! -Give it a pull. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
-Oh, marvellous! -Ahhh! | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
We've done it. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
Nifty work, you two. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
We're away! | 0:05:36 | 0:05:37 | |
Watch out, this lot are sharing their first shop. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
They're all heading to the town of Knutsford in Cheshire. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
They hold endurance races for Penny Farthing bicycles here, | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
don't you know? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
First to get stuck in this morning is a super determined Ricky. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
Very posh, very posh! | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
I'm not sure we've got this much money. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
Knutsford Antiques Centre has been trading for over 20 years. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
Looks just the ticket for our rummaging antiquers. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
Lizzie is in charge today. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:14 | |
-Right, what do we want, Ricky? What are we looking for? -Bargains. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
-Bargains! -We're looking for bargains. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
I'm sure that lady, she's got a nice, kind face. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
-Has she? -I'm sure she'll be gentle with me. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
Here's hoping! | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
-That's all been relined, though. -Hmm. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
Oh, isn't that lovely? | 0:06:35 | 0:06:36 | |
I love that. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:37 | |
6,500. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
What you got? | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
19th-century French ormolu. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
OK, so this is all ormolu, it's gilded bronze, basically. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
Then you've got a painted scene on the front. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
So it's trying to be like a Sevres style. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
19th-century Sevres porcelain was renowned for | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
its rich palette of colours. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
I don't know, what do you think about the scene on the front? | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
-Do you like it? -Well, it's romantic and that puts me in the mood. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
-Oh! -Do you know what I mean? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
Crumbs! | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
But I think it's trying to be an early French, 19th-century, | 0:07:13 | 0:07:19 | |
good high quality, but it's actually a copy. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
Um, I don't think it's particularly well done. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
Regardless, Ricky really likes the look of it. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
-I just like that. -Do you? | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
Yeah, it's, er... | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
-What, the colours? -No, just, like, everything about it. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
It's just... | 0:07:38 | 0:07:39 | |
To the untrained eye, obviously it's to the untrained eye, isn't it? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
I think if you look at it from a distance, | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
you can see exactly what they're doing. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
I think if it was the right price, it's all about price, isn't it? | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
-If you can get a few quid knocked off. -Yeah. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
It's priced at £55. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
Time to talk to Lizzie. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
Now, listen, I don't know whether to go down on bended knee here. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
I'm looking for the best deal I can get with this. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
-Best offer today! -I just like it. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
So, it doesn't matter to me whether it's worth £1 million or whatever, | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
I just like it, and... | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
What can I have it for? | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
Well, we usually say 10%. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
But I'm a big fan of yours. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:16 | |
-Good, good. -So, we'll go down to 40? | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
-I think we'll have that. -Do you think? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
-Yes, I'm having that. -Cor, you're well off the mark! | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
I love it, I don't care if I'm off the mark. I like it. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
He doesn't hang about, does he? | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
Wrap that up for me, please, kid. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
I'm made up with that, £40 I've got that for. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
That is a bit of a bargain. You're good at this. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
-I'm in with a chance there. -You can come again! -Absolutely. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
Right, what's next? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
Meanwhile, look who's arrived. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
Let's hope they're not here. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
Now, better late than never. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
Just take your time, you two. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:50 | |
Shall we go and see what else we can find? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
Oh! | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
-Ah! -Our friends. -Oh, hello! -Better late than never. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
I'm afraid...the two bargains on display today have gone. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
They've gone today. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
-We've done it. -Lizzie, have nothing to do with these two, Liz. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
-Have you bought already? -Only a couple of little items. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
Are you not saying? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
-They'll raise about five grand each. -Is that all? -Oh, aye, yeah. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
Blimey, let's break up the scrum and stick with Mickey and Margie. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
-Ah. -Yeah, I like that. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Four faces of Buddha. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
-That's right. -Is that a good thing? | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
We turned that one down. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
See, I've spotted that there, the little powder flask with the dog on. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
You know me with dogs, I love dogs. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:36 | |
You love dogs, don't you? | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
You get it out, you know how clumsy I am. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
If it's got no dents... | 0:09:43 | 0:09:44 | |
-Sorry! -Oh, crikey! | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
Ricky! Careful, that was close. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
-It is nice, that, isn't it? -That's really nice. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
Powder flasks were an essential accessory to firearms | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
until the 19th century when loaded cartridges became commonplace. | 0:09:55 | 0:10:00 | |
I think that's stunning. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:01 | |
-Have a little go at that. -I think we've got to. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
What's that, £55? | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
I would buy that at 55, I think it's gorgeous. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
-See if we can get it a bit cheaper. -Absolutely. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-I'll put my best voice on. -Go on. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
Excuse me, madam. I'm a visitor to these parts. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
I'm sure you can knock a couple of quid off that for me, can't you? | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Er... 55, so... | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
..I'll do the same. I'll go to 40. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
Ooh! | 0:10:25 | 0:10:26 | |
-Job done. -Yeah, happy with that? | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
-Thank you very much. -You're welcome. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:30 | |
Lovely, lovely. I'm made up with that. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
Right, we're on a roll! | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
Crikey, Ricky doesn't hang about. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:36 | |
First shop, two antiques, bought for a total of £80. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
It would be rude to gloat, hey, Ricky? | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
Anyway, so that's it, we're all done. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
-How about you, finished? -Well, we're still looking. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
We've got our eye on a couple of things. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:49 | |
Still looking? You only have five minutes left! | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
Don't panic us, don't panic us. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
-Are you coming out? -Well, no. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
No, you need the time. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
They're up to something, Margie. Let's go and get... | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
-Go on. Hop it. -We know. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
-Yeah. -They've got nothing! | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
-They've got nowt. -Nothing. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
-Nothing, no hope. -No hope. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:09 | |
No life! No nothing. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
Charming! | 0:11:13 | 0:11:14 | |
Come on, kid, let's have a look upstairs. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
-That's interesting, isn't it? -Yeah, it is. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
"Persons throwing stones at the Telegraphs will be prosecuted." | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
Oh, I like that. I remember those. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
-They were old when I was a kid, to be fair. -I don't remember those. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
-So, for naughty boys? -Yeah! | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
Let's get a better look, shall we? | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
-People do buy these things. -Do they really? | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
Or am I making a huge mistake? | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
-No! -Let's have a look. Oh, yeah, it's cast, isn't it? | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Oh, yeah, it's cast-iron. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
Yes, somebody's... You know, touched it up. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
-Oh, repainted. -It's been painted and touched up but, I mean, come on! | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
It's probably 70 years old. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
-Yeah. -Isn't it? | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
-How much is that, then? -45? | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
-45. -Yeah, that's... | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
What's the best price on that? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
-Um... -Ten? | 0:12:01 | 0:12:02 | |
We'll go to 30? | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
-Hmm. -What do we think? | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
That's very fair, to knock it down that much. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:09 | |
It is, actually, isn't it? | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
And I've just got 25 in my hand. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Oh, yeah, so have I. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
-What do you think, Liz? -That'll do. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
Deal, thank you so much. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
-Thank you very much. -Oh, we're up and running. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
Right, come on, that's us done. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
Well done, Mickey. £25 for the railway sign. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
30, £30. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
Thank you. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
And thanks very much indeed. Thanks. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:33 | |
See you again. Bye-bye. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:34 | |
-OK! -This is our Faberge egg. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
Not so sure about that, but a great start, Mickey. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
Can I...? I know we've sort of finished. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
But can I just have a quick...? | 0:12:44 | 0:12:45 | |
But hang on a minute, I thought they'd left. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
-Give you your... -Yeah, don't think she likes that. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
Now, what's this she's spied? | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
It just caught my eye. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
I think that the lawn mower in particular, | 0:12:55 | 0:12:56 | |
because it's really brightly painted. Is it not your sort of thing? | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
Yeah, it's great. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
Time for a closer inspection. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
-Meccano. -Oh! | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
Meccano. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:07 | |
Now, I don't know how rare they are or anything. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
Meccano were the biggest British toy manufacturers in the '20s and '30s. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:15 | |
This firm also produced Hornby Trains and Dinky Toys. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
I just think they're a bit of fun, aren't they? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
-Yeah, let's take them. -The little Dinky... I don't know how red, | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
I don't like the wheelbarrow so much that I love the roller. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
So do I, I love them all. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
-Yeah? -They're great, them. -What's on these? | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
37 for the three. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
-WHISPERS: -Not bad. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
I'm sure she'll be very gentle with us. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
Would you do sort of 20-ish? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
Could go up to 25, I could meet you in the middle, go to 25? | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah? -Yes! | 0:13:44 | 0:13:45 | |
-Happy with that? -Absolutely. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
If it goes wrong, you know who to blame. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
This extra purchase means they've spent £105 in their first shop. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:56 | |
Lizzie, you're very kind. Thank you so much, thank you. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
-Thanks a lot, Liz. -Really appreciate it. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
-Thank you! -Three items! | 0:14:01 | 0:14:02 | |
-There you go, kid. -We are on a roll. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
These could make £1 million at the right time at the right place. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
I don't think so. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
I'll settle for half a million, come on. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
-I don't think so. Let's go. Thanks, kid! -Thank you. -Cheers, bye. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
Let's leave Ricky and Catherine | 0:14:17 | 0:14:18 | |
and catch up with Mickey and Margie in the Stag. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
It's driving very nicely, isn't it? | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
Oh, it drives like a dream. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
A friend of mine had one of these when we were lads. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
He took me for a spin and I've had a slight love affair with them | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
-ever since. -Aw! -Yeah. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
What Mickey doesn't know is he's pointed the Stag | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
to an area which built its fortune on salt. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
Mickey and Margie have powered their way to the Cheshire village | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
of Marston to learn a little bit of local history. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
Salt has always been an essential ingredient for human survival | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
and its availability has been pivotal to civilisation. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
Our pair are visiting Lion Salt Works, built in 1894. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:05 | |
It's the only remaining open pan saltworks in the UK | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
and one of only four in the entire world. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
Museum and arts manager Catherine West is going to tell us more. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
I'm Michael Stark, nice to meet you. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
Hello. I'm Margie. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
I'm Catherine. Shall we take a look and find out about salt in Cheshire? | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
-After you. -Thank you. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
Cheshire is renowned for salt production | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
and the salt beds here are 220 million years old. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
Rainwater percolates through 150 feet, | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
dissolving the rock salt as it goes, making salty water known as brine. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:44 | |
So, take us through the process. How is it produced? | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
Well, we'd have the brine running across on top of the salt. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
And so actually they would pump that brine out. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
And then it would be brought and it would be boiled. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
So in a massive pan, but it would be about the size of a tennis court. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
And so that would be heated right up so then it would be boiled, | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
then that salt would be kind of skimmed off | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
and we put it in big blocks of salt. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
Then it would be dried, potentially crushed or cut, | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
depending on what kind of salt that we were looking for. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
How long have they been producing salt here? | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
Believe it or not, this method of salt-making | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
actually dates back to Roman times. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
Here in Cheshire where we are today, | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
there are large deposits of salt | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
and the Romans discovered that we have these natural brine pools | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
and that by boiling, we can produce salt. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
The Romans were even paid in salt, weren't they? | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
-Oh, you know your stuff. Absolutely. -Oh, yeah! | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
The Romans understood the benefits of salt. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
As explorers, it was essential for preserving foods | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
and therefore their ultimate survival. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
A Roman soldier's salary would be cut | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
if he was not worth his weight in salt. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
Certainly, in Liverpool, | 0:16:59 | 0:17:00 | |
salt was one of the founding industries, really, | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
and that's why we have the salt dock next to Albert Dock, | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
to make sure that we could make the most of | 0:17:06 | 0:17:07 | |
getting that salt out across the world. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
So the Trent and Mersey Canal, Weaver Navigation, | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
that was all a big part of making sure we had that transport | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
to get that salt around the world. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:16 | |
Cheshire salt was of high quality | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
and didn't deteriorate in warmer climates. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
It would be shipped as far as Canada and America, | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
West Africa and India, New Zealand and Australia. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
The men labouring here worked topless due to the intense heat. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
They'd lose up to 12 pounds in sweat a day | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
due to the high temperature of the salt pans. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
It sounds like a lot of hard work, doesn't it? | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
What sort of hours would they work | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
and what kind of dangers would they face? | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
Well, yes, for the workers, in this kind of atmosphere, | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
probably 12 hour days. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:55 | |
I mean, if you can imagine how hot it must have been as well, | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
and actually quite dangerous, | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
because the pans were heating up to be very hot. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
And you were then trying to skim that off. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
So it was quite a difficult environment to work in at the time. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
Lion Salt Works not only produced salt for worldwide export - | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
in its heyday, Cheshire was responsible for 86% | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
of all salt supply in the country. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
However, in 1986, the factory closed, | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
unable to compete with cheaper salt production works | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
established elsewhere in the world. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
Catherine, thank you so much. It's been brilliant. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
-We'll go and have a look through the museum. -Great. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
Back to Ricky and Catherine. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
How did you get to meet Mickey? | 0:18:44 | 0:18:45 | |
I was compering a club a million years ago | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
and Mickey came with a band. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:49 | |
He was the front man of a band. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
He was talking to me and I got... I said, "Are you in Equity?" | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
And he went, "No." And I said, "I think you should join." | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
He joined Equity and the next thing, | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
he's acting and he got into Brookside | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
and then he was in Coronation Street. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
We're off to the Cheshire town of Frodsham. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
The Beatles played one of their first gigs | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
in this town, don't you know? | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
This is us, then. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
-Shop number two. -This is us. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
Are you ready? To rock and roll? | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
Hampton Village And Antiques Emporium | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
is bursting at the seams with stock. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
Guitar? Headphones? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
What do you think? | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Shall we go and meet the man that does the deals? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
-Yeah. -He's the best person to meet. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
Who's the man that does the deals? | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
I think that might be me, Rick. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:42 | |
I hope you're in a good mood today! | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
I'm looking for a bargain here today. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
-Catherine. Hi. -Nice to see you. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
Thank you very much for having us here. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
They've got £295 to spend. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
Who's that? Who is it? | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
-I don't know. -Who is he? | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
I think it's Schnozzle Durante. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
-Yeah. -Is it? -Jimmy Durante. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
-Jimmy Durante. -There you go. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
Jimmy Durante was one of America's most popular personalities | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
from the 1920s through to the 1970s. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
What a hooter! | 0:20:19 | 0:20:20 | |
# But that was long ago... # | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
I think it's horrible. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
It is horrible, but it's unique. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
I mean... | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
It's a collectors item, isn't it? | 0:20:29 | 0:20:30 | |
Well, it is, it's a collectable. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
But who wants those, though? | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
A collector. A collector! | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
Obviously. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:37 | |
Our Catherine hasn't heard of old Schnozzle Durante. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
Tell us more, Ricky. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:42 | |
So, who is this Jimmy...? | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
Jimmy Durante was a big star in vaudeville in the States | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
and he used to play the piano, | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
and his name was Jimmy Durante, but because he had this real big hooter, | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
they called him Schnozzle. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
And it's sort of, in a way, | 0:20:56 | 0:20:57 | |
it's a sort of a homage to him because he was that big of a star. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
Well, then, we've got to get it. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
I think we should get it. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
-We should get it, yeah. -Go on, kid. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:06 | |
Even if we lose £47. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
We should get it. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:10 | |
Oh, Dave? | 0:21:10 | 0:21:11 | |
I don't think I'm the only one who hasn't... | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
Have you heard of this, whatever his name his, Durante? | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
Jimmy Durante, yes. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:17 | |
-He was a big star. -Well, I've never heard of him. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
A big star. Well, you never went to the pictures when you were a kid, | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
-did you? -You're too young. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
She's too young. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:25 | |
-Would you mind if I... -This is supposed to be about antiques | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
and she doesn't know anyone over 35! | 0:21:28 | 0:21:29 | |
Let's get Jimmy out of his cabinet. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
-So, come on, then. What can you do? -Right, well... | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
There's £40 on the ticket. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:38 | |
It's cheap at that price, Catherine. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
I don't think so! | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
Go on. The best price I can do it, £20. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
-Sold! -THEY LAUGH | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
Well done. Cheers, kid. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
Sold! | 0:21:51 | 0:21:52 | |
What can I say? I mean... | 0:21:54 | 0:21:55 | |
-Thank you. -Thank you very much. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
I'd love to say that I'm really happy and I love this, but... | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
By Jiminy, Ricky's a swift buyer. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
£20 for the Royal Doulton Jimmy Durante mug. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
What's the mood in the cars, then? | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
The problem Ricky's going to have is he thinks the budget... | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
He'll think it's his money. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:17 | |
-Ahh! -So we'll have to be very careful. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
-So he'll be shrewd. -Oh, he will be shrewd. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
Yeah. And he's competitive. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
-Is he now? -Oh, yes. Yes. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
No, I am bothered about winning. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:27 | |
-Really? -Oh, yeah. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
-Oh, no. I thought you'd be like, "No, no..." -Listen to this. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
I still get emotional watching replays of the 1966 World Cup final. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:38 | |
-If he wins, we won't hear the last of it. -Oh, my God! | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
Blimey. We've got another day of this tomorrow. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
Time for a bit of shut-eye. Nighty-night! | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
Wakey-wakey, rise and shine! | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
The fellas are on the move once more. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
You must have been quite squashed in that car yesterday, Mick? | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
-Yeah. -It's the first time I've ever seen anyone getting into a car | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
with the help of the shoehorn. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
Shut up! | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
He's a cheeky devil. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
And the gals? | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
Well, you should see what we've bought, Margie. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
Oh, my. Was he... I bet he's... | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
Is he sort of very, very quick off the mark? | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
He's like lightning. Honestly. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
We bought our first item within seconds. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
-Yeah. -The second one, we probably bought about two minutes later. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
The third one... | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
was just as we were leaving the shop. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
And then the fourth one... Oh, Margie, it's horrible. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
Tell it like it is, Catherine. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:42 | |
Yesterday, our spirited gents rolled up their sleeves | 0:23:42 | 0:23:46 | |
and had a thoroughly lovely time. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
Mickey purchased one solitary item, | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
the railway plaque, so still has a huge £375 for the day ahead. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:55 | |
Ricky, on the other hand, couldn't stop spending. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
He has the late 19th-century urn. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
The copper powder flask. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:04 | |
The collection of little toys. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
And his absolute fave, the Royal Doulton Jimmy Durante mug. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:11 | |
-£20. -Sold! | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
Well done. Cheers, kid. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:16 | |
He has £275 left to splash. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
-Thank you. -Cheers, bye. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:21 | |
-You know what's happened? -Yeah, they're talking. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
-They're in the working men's club... -Talking. -They've got their pie. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
How many people do they know in and around Liverpool? | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
Well, this is the thing. We could be waiting hours. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
They know everyone, don't they? | 0:24:38 | 0:24:39 | |
ENGINE GRINDS | 0:24:41 | 0:24:42 | |
-Oh! -This could be them. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
They make an entrance, don't they? | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
-Here they come. -Hey. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
Good morning. How are we? | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
-Ready for a bit of action? -Lovely to see you both. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
-Oh, we're going to get a double hug. -Aw! | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
Steady on, Margie. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
-MICKEY: -Morning. How are you? Pleasure to see you. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
How are you, Margie? How are you? | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
-I'm all right, darling. -Good to see you. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:02 | |
-All the best. -CATHERINE: -Yeah, good luck. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
-You'll need it. -MICKEY: -I can feel the warmth | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
coming from him! | 0:25:07 | 0:25:08 | |
-So, you put the world to rights? -MICKEY: -We certainly did. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
Let's nip in with Ricky and Catherine, shall we? | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
So, how was your first experience of the world of antiques yesterday? | 0:25:24 | 0:25:28 | |
Absolutely brilliant. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:29 | |
It was an eye-opener. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
A slight disagreement between the experts and the amateur, but... | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
Just a slight... | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
I'm dying to see it put to the test. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
It's going to make thousands, though, | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
that's what's going to happen. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:40 | |
Whilst over in the fabulous Stag... | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
So, we're off to Liverpool and Southport. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:48 | |
-Right. -And I believe the shop is on Tunnel Road? | 0:25:48 | 0:25:52 | |
Tunnel Road. I was born about 200 yards from there. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
-Really? -Yeah. -Do you have any connections | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
-to get cheap merchandise? -I hope so. I don't think so. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
But it might be nice, wouldn't it? | 0:26:01 | 0:26:02 | |
It would be. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:05 | |
We're in Mickey's stomping ground, the city of Liverpool. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
The Tunnel Furniture Company is Mickey's next stop. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
Here we are. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
-Right, Marge? -Yeah. -My neck of the woods. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
Oh! | 0:26:25 | 0:26:26 | |
-Garden stuff. -Yeah, garden stuff. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
Seems to be coping all right. Wow! | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
It's an Aladdin's cave, this, isn't it? | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
Have they got ants in their pants? | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
With six rooms stuffed full, they've got a lot to look through in here. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:44 | |
Are you a bit over-phased? | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
Oh, now, I like this, Margie. Art Deco. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
-That's nice, isn't it? -That's nice. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
It's like a sort of Teasmade, is it? | 0:26:54 | 0:26:55 | |
Yeah. It's obviously made in the shape of a... | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
A ship, isn't it? | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
You've got your... | 0:27:01 | 0:27:02 | |
-Tea and sugar and whatever. -Yeah, tea and sugar. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
-That's nice, that, isn't it? -Yeah. -So, how old would that be, then? | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
Well... Got to start being suspicious. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
And I think you'll find that that is, amazingly, a really good repro. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
Moving on. Anything else take your fancy? | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
-Oh, look. -Oh, one of those railway signs. Yes. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
Oh, my goodness. That's all right. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:25 | |
I like them. Yeah, that's quite a good one. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
Gas pipeline warning. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
People do collect those. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:30 | |
-Do they? -Yeah. Amazingly. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
See how much money. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:34 | |
27. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:37 | |
-What do you think? -Do you think? | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
-Yeah, might be... -Could do. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
Yeah, yeah. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:43 | |
Well, that's one contender. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
Gosh. You've got to have eyes in the back of your head, haven't you? | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
Oh, aye. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:51 | |
Oh, here, we've got... Oh, what've you seen there? | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
Microscopes. I like them. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:55 | |
-Do you like microscopes? -Yeah, yeah. Do you know what would be good? | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
-What? -We could look into them | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
and inspect Ricky and Catherine's profits! | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
Ah, just as I thought, nothing. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
The jokes just keep on coming. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
So you like those? | 0:28:10 | 0:28:11 | |
I do like them, yeah. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
-Possibility? -Mm. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
A second possible, but, hello, what's this? | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
-Oh, it is nice, that, yeah. -Yes, Satsuma. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
-Satsuma? -Yes, Satsuma. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
Japanese porcelain. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:26 | |
-Ah. -That's quite nice, because inside... | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
-Ah, right, OK. -That's all hand-painted. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
-Really? -Yeah. -Oh, wow. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
-That's interesting, isn't it? -Yeah, if you look at all their faces, | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
-they're all different. -Right, yeah. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:38 | |
Satsumaware is divided into two distinct categories. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:44 | |
The original plain dark clay from the early 1600s, | 0:28:44 | 0:28:49 | |
or the elaborately decorated styles for the export market, | 0:28:49 | 0:28:52 | |
like this one, probably dating from the early 20th century. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:56 | |
But there's no ticket price. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:58 | |
-I think we need to speak to Paul, don't we? -Yeah, let's get him over. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
Paul! Paul! | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 | |
Paul! | 0:29:03 | 0:29:05 | |
Oh. Here he is. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:06 | |
Paul, we spotted a lovely little Satsuma... | 0:29:06 | 0:29:09 | |
Well, no, it's not that lovely. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:11 | |
-It's not that lovely. -It's beautiful. -A little Satsuma dish. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:14 | |
-Like a powder dish? -Yes, a powder dish. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
I could do you that for about 45 quid. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:19 | |
-Yeah, 40? -Yeah, go on. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:21 | |
-I think we'll have that. -40, yeah, we've done well. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:24 | |
-That's the first. -That's nice. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:26 | |
And the microscopes? | 0:29:26 | 0:29:28 | |
-Now, do they come as a pair? -No, they're different prices. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:31 | |
I thought they were a pair for 70 quid. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
See, a pair for 75 would be brilliant, wouldn't it, for us? | 0:29:33 | 0:29:35 | |
We're working against Ricky Tomlinson, you know... | 0:29:35 | 0:29:38 | |
If you're working against Ricky Tomlinson, | 0:29:38 | 0:29:39 | |
you can have them for the 75! | 0:29:39 | 0:29:41 | |
Ooh, that is a result, cheers! Nice one! | 0:29:41 | 0:29:45 | |
This is going well. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:46 | |
We'll have those. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:48 | |
Now, what about that? Just throw in that gas thing. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:51 | |
-That's got to be 15 quid. -Shall we go for that? | 0:29:51 | 0:29:53 | |
-Yeah, I think that's fair enough. -Thanks, Paul, you've been great. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:56 | |
That's £130 for the railway plaque, | 0:29:56 | 0:29:59 | |
the pair of microscopes and the Satsuma powder bowl. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:02 | |
-Cheers. -Thanks very much. -Thank you so much. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
-Cheers, Paul. -See you. -Bye, Paul. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:07 | |
Over to the Jag and Ricky and Catherine. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:17 | |
So, yes, you know where we're off to now, Catherine? | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
-Where are you taking me? -Liverpool! | 0:30:20 | 0:30:22 | |
-SCOUSE ACCENT: -Liverpool, Liverpool! | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
-Liverpool! -Liverpool! | 0:30:24 | 0:30:26 | |
Oh, dear, Catherine. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
That's right, this pair are also in the city of Liverpool. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:32 | |
This is where we do our deals, I reckon. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
-This is where it all happens. -Yes! | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
Penny Lane Emporium has lots of dealers selling their goodies. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:43 | |
What will we find in here then? | 0:30:45 | 0:30:47 | |
Isn't that lovely? | 0:30:47 | 0:30:48 | |
We might find some of your old stuff here. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:52 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:30:52 | 0:30:54 | |
It's funny, isn't it, things like this now becoming collectable. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:58 | |
-Yeah. -Fantastic. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:00 | |
-I mean, you probably had one like that, did you? -I did. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
What about this? I like this. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:08 | |
-Ah. -Ahhh! | 0:31:08 | 0:31:10 | |
That's a bit of class, isn't it? | 0:31:10 | 0:31:12 | |
-I like that. -Isn't that elegant? | 0:31:12 | 0:31:14 | |
-I think that's lovely. -Mmm. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:16 | |
That's lovely, I like that, I do like that. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
I love these shades, and the fact that they're... | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
I mean, that one's obviously not got a bulb, | 0:31:20 | 0:31:22 | |
but don't they look lovely when they're lit? | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
I do like that, actually. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:26 | |
I think that's very elegant. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
1920s, it could be. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
I think that's really stylish. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:32 | |
And it's priced at £150. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:36 | |
Let's get dealer Mark over. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
Mark! | 0:31:38 | 0:31:39 | |
Mark. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:40 | |
-Mark? -Mark? | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
Hi, there. You found something? | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
We have. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:45 | |
Not probably what we'd normally find, but we quite like this lamp. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:50 | |
-Oh, it's lovely, yeah. -And I'm guessing the person's not here. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
That's right, yes, Diane's not here at the moment. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:56 | |
You couldn't give her a ring for us, could you, | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
and let me have a word with her? | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
I can certainly give her a tinkle, yes. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
It's just a bit out of our price range at the moment, so... | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
-Bear with me. -I think, what do we want to pay, ideally? | 0:32:04 | 0:32:08 | |
I think £100 tops, really. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:13 | |
About a hundred-ish if we can... | 0:32:13 | 0:32:14 | |
-I know it's asking... -I can only go to 125, so I'll give her a tinkle. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:18 | |
Give her a tinkle and see what she says. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
Prepare yourself, dealer Diane. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:22 | |
Ricky Tommo with you, kid. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:23 | |
Now, listen, we like this little, erm, | 0:32:23 | 0:32:25 | |
this lamp here, you know, | 0:32:25 | 0:32:27 | |
the brass standard lamp. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:29 | |
Now, listen, you're in a good mood, Diane, | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
everything's going well and we're going well, | 0:32:31 | 0:32:33 | |
and I want to win this blinking competition. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:35 | |
Come on, what's the lowest you can go, Diane? | 0:32:35 | 0:32:37 | |
-Well, I want you to win it. How about 90? -90! Ha-ha-hey! | 0:32:37 | 0:32:42 | |
You're on, thank you very much, I'm going to stop the call immediately, | 0:32:42 | 0:32:46 | |
in case you change your mind! | 0:32:46 | 0:32:47 | |
Ta-ra, thanks, Diane! | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
You are brilliant! | 0:32:52 | 0:32:53 | |
Well done! Thank you, Diane. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
I'm made up with that. | 0:32:56 | 0:32:57 | |
-Thank you very much. -Congratulations. -God bless. | 0:32:57 | 0:32:59 | |
-Thank you! -Sound as a pound. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:01 | |
You've done well with that. I think you will, actually. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:03 | |
Well done, Ricky. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:05 | |
That's a £60 discount on the Edwardian brass lamp. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
Thank you so much. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:10 | |
Back to best pals Mickey and Margie. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:14 | |
-Pressure's on now. -Pressure's on. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:20 | |
We haven't got long now to get stuff on the table. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
-No, we haven't, but I'm confident. -To impress those two. -Oh, yes. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
But I have absolutely every faith in you, Margie. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:30 | |
-I can rely on you. -Oh, my goodness me. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
They've travelled to the seaside town of Southport, | 0:33:34 | 0:33:37 | |
home to the oldest pleasure pier in the UK. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:41 | |
And this fine emporium, Theantiquesman. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:46 | |
They have £245 to spend in here. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:49 | |
-Wow, look at this. -Now, what's that you've got, Mickey? | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
Avast behind! Oh, it's not a telescope, what is it? | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
It's a fireman's hose. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:02 | |
I knew that all the time! | 0:34:04 | 0:34:05 | |
Easy mistake, Mickey. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:07 | |
I quite like these. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:10 | |
-What's that? -That's a bamboo brush pot. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:14 | |
-A brush pot? -Yeah, you know, for painting brushes. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:16 | |
Oh, right! Oh, I see. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:18 | |
Artists' paintbrushes. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:19 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah, I do like that, would that be expensive? | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
-Well, I don't know. -Unusual, isn't it? -We'll have to wait and see. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
Possible. No ticket price. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:27 | |
Moving on. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:29 | |
That's a funny old thing next to your telescope. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
Oh, yeah. What is it? | 0:34:32 | 0:34:34 | |
Ooh! | 0:34:34 | 0:34:35 | |
Oh, it's a spade. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:37 | |
-Right. -Ah! | 0:34:37 | 0:34:39 | |
Militaria thing? | 0:34:39 | 0:34:40 | |
-Yeah. -Some kind of cutting thing. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:42 | |
Yeah, the soldiers would have them on their belts. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:47 | |
To cut a...? | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
Digging their, well, trenches. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:51 | |
-Cutting a trench. -Yeah, yeah. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:52 | |
Gosh. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:54 | |
Can dealer John tell us any more about it? | 0:34:54 | 0:34:57 | |
Yeah, it's for digging trenches. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:00 | |
It is military. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:01 | |
-Is it? -It is military, yes. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:03 | |
-OK. -It's got all the military numbers on the side. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:07 | |
-Oh, in there, OK. -So you arrive on the battlefield, | 0:35:07 | 0:35:09 | |
and the first job is to dig a trench? | 0:35:09 | 0:35:12 | |
And it's very unusual, | 0:35:12 | 0:35:13 | |
because it's got the actual leather part and it's never been used. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:17 | |
Yeah, we thought, yeah, there's no creases. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:19 | |
So, what's that bit for there? | 0:35:19 | 0:35:21 | |
That's... That would come up and that would... | 0:35:21 | 0:35:23 | |
Very... | 0:35:24 | 0:35:26 | |
For a hard rocky stone or something? | 0:35:26 | 0:35:28 | |
-Yes, yes. -What an interesting thing. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:30 | |
It is. I like that. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:32 | |
Yeah. How much is it, to me, with a bad cold? | 0:35:32 | 0:35:36 | |
OK. Without a cold, £50. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
With a cold, £30. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:43 | |
Interesting pricing. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:45 | |
How much can this brush pot be? | 0:35:45 | 0:35:47 | |
-£90. -Oh! | 0:35:47 | 0:35:49 | |
-John. -It's a lot, that, John, it's a lot. -Well... | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
I see that, I like it. I really like it. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:55 | |
Time for Mickey to have a go at the old deal-making. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:58 | |
Look at me. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:00 | |
-Look at me in the eyes. -Yes. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:02 | |
I want... | 0:36:02 | 0:36:04 | |
the brush pot... | 0:36:04 | 0:36:05 | |
..for £70. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:08 | |
Now look at me in the eyes. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:11 | |
I can't, I'm not that good an actor. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:13 | |
For £90. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:15 | |
Oh, you're not going to ease it? | 0:36:15 | 0:36:17 | |
-Two for a oner? -Two for a oner? -Yeah? | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
-It's all right. -Go on, go on, two for a oner. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:24 | |
Two for a oner. Done it. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:26 | |
So that translates into English as £65 for the bamboo brush pot | 0:36:26 | 0:36:30 | |
and 35 for the entrenching tool. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:31 | |
Pay the gentleman. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:33 | |
I certainly will. Here we go. There we have... | 0:36:33 | 0:36:36 | |
And that deal takes their tally to five lots for auction. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:40 | |
Excellent. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:41 | |
80, 90, 100! | 0:36:41 | 0:36:43 | |
Thank you so much, John. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:46 | |
It's a pleasure doing business with you. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
Brilliant experience. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:50 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:52 | |
Right, bye, John. Thank you. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:54 | |
That's our shopping done, innit? | 0:36:54 | 0:36:55 | |
-Yeah, great. -I think we've done well. -We have. Come on, let's go! | 0:36:55 | 0:36:58 | |
Meanwhile, what are Ricky and Catherine up to? | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
We bought something yesterday doggie-related, | 0:37:03 | 0:37:06 | |
and you are a bit of a doggy fan, aren't you? | 0:37:06 | 0:37:08 | |
I'm a big doggy fan. I love, I love dogs. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
My favourite breeds are the bull breeds, bull mastiffs, bulldogs, | 0:37:10 | 0:37:14 | |
English bull terriers. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
And because of this love for all things canine, | 0:37:18 | 0:37:20 | |
Ricky and Catherine have detoured to Atherton in Greater Manchester. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:24 | |
They've come to the Guide Dogs training centre, | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
to hear how, 86 years ago, | 0:37:29 | 0:37:31 | |
four dogs would set in motion | 0:37:31 | 0:37:33 | |
the beginning of ground-breaking training, | 0:37:33 | 0:37:37 | |
ultimately bringing life-changing independence | 0:37:37 | 0:37:39 | |
to tens of thousands of people - | 0:37:39 | 0:37:41 | |
an incredible story of trust in man's best friend. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:44 | |
Ricky's come to hear about the pioneering work | 0:37:47 | 0:37:49 | |
of those who trained the first dogs for the blind. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:53 | |
Centre manager Sue Richardson knows the story. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:55 | |
-Hello! -You must be Sue? | 0:37:58 | 0:37:59 | |
I am. Lovely to meet you. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
-Nice to meet you, kid. -Nice to meet you. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
-Thanks for letting us in, kid. -You're very welcome, yeah. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
You can hear the dogs barking. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
Hello, Catherine. Lovely to meet you. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:09 | |
Yes, come on in. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:10 | |
The guide dog story starts at the end of the First World War. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |
In 1916, a German doctor trained dogs to help veterans | 0:38:15 | 0:38:19 | |
blinded by gas attacks. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
But by 1931, his techniques had found their way to Britain. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:27 | |
We had two ladies, Muriel Crook and Rosamond Bond, | 0:38:28 | 0:38:30 | |
who'd heard of some training success across Europe | 0:38:30 | 0:38:34 | |
with blind people with dogs, | 0:38:34 | 0:38:35 | |
and they decided they wanted to launch something over here. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:39 | |
The ladies were German shepherd breeders | 0:38:40 | 0:38:42 | |
and organised the training of the first four British guide dogs - | 0:38:42 | 0:38:45 | |
Judy, Flash, Folly and Meta - | 0:38:45 | 0:38:48 | |
from Muriel's home in Wallasey. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
The four men who volunteered were taking a brave, | 0:38:52 | 0:38:54 | |
bold step into the unknown. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:56 | |
It was a four week class. | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |
They went through the rigorous training, | 0:38:59 | 0:39:00 | |
and it took quite a lot of confidence on their behalf, | 0:39:00 | 0:39:03 | |
because obviously they didn't have any eyesight at all | 0:39:03 | 0:39:06 | |
and they were learning to work with dogs who they didn't know particularly well, | 0:39:06 | 0:39:09 | |
so it took quite a lot of courage and bravery, | 0:39:09 | 0:39:11 | |
and they were learning to do things even like run along with the dogs. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:14 | |
So these two ladies then basically started, | 0:39:14 | 0:39:17 | |
"Right, we really need to do this properly." | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
In 1936, the first house was created | 0:39:20 | 0:39:23 | |
where people were trained regularly from there. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
By 1956, | 0:39:26 | 0:39:28 | |
102 dogs had been trained when the ladies created a breeding programme. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:34 | |
It really, again, really started off very well in England, | 0:39:34 | 0:39:38 | |
probably in about the late '60s, early '70s, | 0:39:38 | 0:39:40 | |
that was our proper breeding programme. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:43 | |
And now we breed up to 1,400 puppies a year. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:45 | |
Rosamond and Muriel's training programme | 0:39:45 | 0:39:48 | |
acclimatised the dogs to busy roads and obstacles, | 0:39:48 | 0:39:52 | |
common in everyday life. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:54 | |
This training is still used by the Guide Dogs charity today | 0:39:54 | 0:39:58 | |
and is carried out by volunteers. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:00 | |
Over the years, the golden retriever crossed with the Labrador | 0:40:00 | 0:40:04 | |
has proven to be the most successful guide dog. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:06 | |
Would you like to meet some of the puppies? These little ones? | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
-Yes, please. -Yes? OK. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:10 | |
-Hello! -Thank you. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:12 | |
-Who have we got here? -So, this is... | 0:40:12 | 0:40:15 | |
Kerry. Hiya, Kerry. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:17 | |
14 weeks. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
Oh! Hello! | 0:40:19 | 0:40:20 | |
And this is Chas, and he's 18 weeks. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
-Hello! -So he's a little bit older. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
We just take them out and about on the bus and the train... | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
-Great. -And we just get them used to everything. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:33 | |
And they're lovely. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:36 | |
And they're allowed to play with toys and our own pet dogs. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:40 | |
They have a lovely puppyhood. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:41 | |
You don't take old chaps in, do you? | 0:40:41 | 0:40:43 | |
You can come if you like! | 0:40:45 | 0:40:47 | |
If you can sit and lie down! | 0:40:47 | 0:40:49 | |
-Going to take the challenge? -Yes... | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
But what's it like to be guided by a dog? | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
Ricky's joining a class. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:56 | |
-Right, are you ready? -Yeah. Yeah. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:58 | |
OK, let's go. Forward... | 0:40:58 | 0:41:01 | |
So what's happened here, | 0:41:01 | 0:41:03 | |
we've set up what we call an artificial obstacle course, | 0:41:03 | 0:41:06 | |
which really approximates what a dog would have to deal with | 0:41:06 | 0:41:10 | |
with a guided owner, out on the street | 0:41:10 | 0:41:12 | |
when it's moving past street furniture, | 0:41:12 | 0:41:14 | |
groups of people... | 0:41:14 | 0:41:15 | |
-So... -Fantastic. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:17 | |
Yeah. It's very disorientating, | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
I'm sure Ricky's probably finding this quite interesting, to be honest. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
It's an amazing experience, kid. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
It's absolutely... You can't... | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
You can't describe it, though, see, can you? | 0:41:32 | 0:41:36 | |
You... You... I'm trusting him, in this case the dog and you. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:40 | |
When the dogs are trained, there's no you, | 0:41:40 | 0:41:42 | |
there's just the dog and the handler, isn't there? | 0:41:42 | 0:41:45 | |
Over 80 years ago, | 0:41:49 | 0:41:50 | |
four courageous blind men and their loyal dogs | 0:41:50 | 0:41:53 | |
helped to transform the lives of the blind and partially sighted. | 0:41:53 | 0:41:58 | |
Since then, the charity has helped over 29,000 people to achieve | 0:41:58 | 0:42:03 | |
life-changing independence. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:06 | |
A remarkable feat illustrating the exemplary training | 0:42:06 | 0:42:09 | |
and the wonderful bond between guide dog and his owner. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:13 | |
With the shopping now complete, | 0:42:19 | 0:42:21 | |
time to reunite and have a nosey at one another's buys. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:25 | |
Prepare to be dazzled. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:26 | |
Did you have a good time today? | 0:42:28 | 0:42:29 | |
Marvellous, wonderful, couldn't have gone better. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:31 | |
-Really? -Yeah. -Good. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:33 | |
-So, are we going to reveal? -I'm going to show you what we bought. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:36 | |
-Exactly. -Dun-dun-dun! | 0:42:36 | 0:42:38 | |
-That's lovely. -CATHERINE AND RICKY HUM | 0:42:40 | 0:42:42 | |
Oh. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:47 | |
-Ooh. -Ooh. Oh, hey. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:48 | |
Now, unfortunately, we did have a bit of a mishap, | 0:42:48 | 0:42:50 | |
-we're missing a... -We're missing a... -Oh, no. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
..a shade, but that's fine. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:55 | |
We've still got our beautiful lamp stand. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
And look at all our objets d'art. | 0:42:58 | 0:42:59 | |
-Ooh, that's nice. -Can I just move in? | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
-Yes, you can. -And have a look. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:03 | |
What's happened here? Has he got... Is there a lid on there? | 0:43:03 | 0:43:06 | |
No, because it's a world famous entertainer. | 0:43:06 | 0:43:08 | |
Oh, it's a character jug. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:10 | |
-And who is it? -Oh, it's Schnozzle Durante! | 0:43:10 | 0:43:12 | |
Oh, that's wonderful. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:14 | |
-Well done. -Do you like that? | 0:43:14 | 0:43:15 | |
He picked that. I think it's horrible! | 0:43:15 | 0:43:17 | |
-Yeah. -Do you like it? | 0:43:17 | 0:43:19 | |
-MICKEY: -Jimmy Durante?! -Oh, yes. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:21 | |
That's great, that, Mick, innit? | 0:43:21 | 0:43:22 | |
# Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you | 0:43:22 | 0:43:25 | |
# If you're objet d'art... # | 0:43:25 | 0:43:27 | |
Catherine doesn't have a clue! | 0:43:27 | 0:43:29 | |
-Yes, love that. -And then you've got the... | 0:43:29 | 0:43:32 | |
We don't mention that, we move on. | 0:43:32 | 0:43:33 | |
Let's have a look at yours. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:35 | |
We think that could have come from Imperial Russia. | 0:43:35 | 0:43:38 | |
See, no use talking to her. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:42 | |
-No use talking. -All right, OK. | 0:43:42 | 0:43:43 | |
That looks nice, that. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:45 | |
That's not 32 carat, it's just 18. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:48 | |
Looks more like boiled carrots. | 0:43:48 | 0:43:50 | |
And, you know, shall we reveal... | 0:43:50 | 0:43:52 | |
Come on, then. Let's have a look at your... | 0:43:52 | 0:43:54 | |
-Let's have a look at your stuff. -We haven't really... | 0:43:54 | 0:43:56 | |
-Come on. -Here we go. | 0:43:56 | 0:43:58 | |
-MICKEY: -Reveal! -There we go. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:00 | |
-Now, then. Oh... -So... | 0:44:02 | 0:44:04 | |
I love your Satsuma. | 0:44:04 | 0:44:06 | |
Yeah, I have to show you something nice about it. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:08 | |
-Go on, then. -On both sides, you've got the painting inside. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:13 | |
That is very unusual. | 0:44:13 | 0:44:15 | |
That is very unusual. | 0:44:15 | 0:44:16 | |
How much did you pay for that? | 0:44:16 | 0:44:18 | |
-40 quid. -Yeah. | 0:44:18 | 0:44:19 | |
-Hundred quid, hundred and 20 quid, that. -You reckon? | 0:44:19 | 0:44:22 | |
-It's beautiful. -That I've never seen, it's a trench cutter. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:25 | |
-It's a what? -Trench cutter. -Trench spade? | 0:44:25 | 0:44:28 | |
-Trench spade? -You must call a spade a spade. | 0:44:28 | 0:44:31 | |
They used to have them in the American army, digging themselves... | 0:44:31 | 0:44:34 | |
-That's unusual, isn't it? -I just thought it was a bit interesting. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:37 | |
-I think you've got a lovely selection, there. -It is. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:40 | |
I think that is really interesting. I think that is fantastic. | 0:44:40 | 0:44:44 | |
-I like a bit of Satsuma. -That is the best thing out of the lot, | 0:44:44 | 0:44:47 | |
-although I hate saying that. -Really? | 0:44:47 | 0:44:49 | |
-It is really nice. -Are you a sore loser? | 0:44:49 | 0:44:51 | |
I am. But, no, it's beautiful. | 0:44:51 | 0:44:52 | |
Well done, you. | 0:44:52 | 0:44:54 | |
Fantastic. Come on, then. | 0:44:54 | 0:44:56 | |
-Let's go. -OK. | 0:44:56 | 0:44:57 | |
We'll see you... We'll speak to you a bit later. | 0:44:57 | 0:45:00 | |
See you later at the auction. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:01 | |
-MICKEY: -See you at the auction. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:03 | |
Come on, then. | 0:45:03 | 0:45:04 | |
Come on, you lot, dish the dirt. | 0:45:04 | 0:45:07 | |
I think, quite interesting. | 0:45:07 | 0:45:08 | |
Yeah? Yeah. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:10 | |
From the little digging spade to the microscopes, yeah, | 0:45:10 | 0:45:14 | |
-I think it's quite interesting. -I think what is lovely | 0:45:14 | 0:45:17 | |
is that Satsuma dish, which... | 0:45:17 | 0:45:19 | |
It is really unusual to be painted inside like that, | 0:45:19 | 0:45:22 | |
it's really quality. | 0:45:22 | 0:45:23 | |
Think they've got the edge on the auction? | 0:45:23 | 0:45:25 | |
No, I think we're... I'm quietly confident, | 0:45:25 | 0:45:27 | |
I think we can swing this. | 0:45:27 | 0:45:28 | |
What did you think when they saw the Schnozz? | 0:45:28 | 0:45:31 | |
-Well, she knew who it was right away. -They knew. | 0:45:31 | 0:45:34 | |
-Right away. -You're pretty good. | 0:45:34 | 0:45:36 | |
It's made by a quality maker, isn't it, and stuff like that. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:39 | |
-I think that'll do really well. -I think it will. Well... | 0:45:39 | 0:45:42 | |
-Well, kid, you've been great. -Let's go. -Thank you. -Come on. | 0:45:42 | 0:45:45 | |
And what do you think your mate Ricky said about this? | 0:45:45 | 0:45:48 | |
-He'd say... -AS RICKY: -"I tell you what, lad, | 0:45:48 | 0:45:51 | |
"why don't we go to the ale house and have a bevvy | 0:45:51 | 0:45:55 | |
"and forget all about it?!" | 0:45:55 | 0:45:57 | |
Margie is speechless for once. | 0:45:57 | 0:46:00 | |
We're off to auction, | 0:46:02 | 0:46:04 | |
and the West Midlands, | 0:46:04 | 0:46:05 | |
destined for the town of Stourbridge. | 0:46:05 | 0:46:08 | |
Are you looking forward to seeing Catherine, Rick? | 0:46:08 | 0:46:10 | |
Yeah, I am. I was made up with her. | 0:46:10 | 0:46:11 | |
She taught me a lot. And very competitive, like me. | 0:46:11 | 0:46:14 | |
Thinks we're on a sure thing, I can't wait to beat you. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:17 | |
I'll shake your hand and commiserate with you, | 0:46:17 | 0:46:19 | |
-but I think we're on a winner. -Well, I think we are. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:23 | |
Fieldings Auctioneers is the location for today's auction battle. | 0:46:23 | 0:46:27 | |
This should be exciting. | 0:46:29 | 0:46:30 | |
-Hello! -Hey, you all right, kid? | 0:46:34 | 0:46:37 | |
-Oh! -You all right? -Ready for the fray? | 0:46:37 | 0:46:40 | |
Oh, yes. Yes, we're up for it. | 0:46:40 | 0:46:42 | |
-Are you up for it? -What do you think, Rick? | 0:46:42 | 0:46:44 | |
You were a good loser. A very good loser. | 0:46:44 | 0:46:47 | |
-Story of my life! -Take no notice of him, come on. | 0:46:47 | 0:46:49 | |
Super confidence from Ricky, eh? | 0:46:49 | 0:46:52 | |
Ricky and Catherine spent £215 on five lots. | 0:46:52 | 0:46:55 | |
Ricky being an impulsive buyer. | 0:46:55 | 0:46:58 | |
Mickey and Margie spent £255, also on five lots. | 0:46:58 | 0:47:02 | |
Mickey proved to be a natural haggler. | 0:47:02 | 0:47:05 | |
Nicholas Davies is the gavel-basher for today. | 0:47:07 | 0:47:10 | |
What does he think of our road trippers' offerings? | 0:47:10 | 0:47:13 | |
At £75, then, done and finished. | 0:47:13 | 0:47:15 | |
One lot I'd be worried about selling, | 0:47:15 | 0:47:17 | |
the Royal Doulton Jimmy Durante jug, just a bit out of fashion, really. | 0:47:17 | 0:47:20 | |
So it may struggle. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:22 | |
At the moment, the military's doing quite well, | 0:47:22 | 0:47:24 | |
so the trench cutter could be an interesting lot. | 0:47:24 | 0:47:27 | |
A bit different, bit unusual, should do OK. | 0:47:27 | 0:47:29 | |
Thank you, Nicholas. And we are also open to internet bidders. | 0:47:30 | 0:47:34 | |
Wow, what do you think? | 0:47:34 | 0:47:36 | |
Smart, isn't it? | 0:47:36 | 0:47:38 | |
-It is. -It's your lot up first. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:40 | |
Are you nervous? | 0:47:40 | 0:47:41 | |
I am a bit nervous, yeah. | 0:47:41 | 0:47:43 | |
Doulton character jug. | 0:47:43 | 0:47:44 | |
Yes... | 0:47:44 | 0:47:47 | |
No, he's lovely. He's lovely. They could make one of you. | 0:47:47 | 0:47:50 | |
-There's confidence. It's oozing out of him. -There is one of me, yes. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:53 | |
-Is there? -Yeah. -Oh, we need to get one. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:55 | |
It's much bigger, though, isn't it? | 0:47:55 | 0:47:57 | |
The nose is a lot... | 0:47:57 | 0:47:59 | |
The nose is a lot bigger! | 0:47:59 | 0:48:03 | |
Yeah, first, Ricky's favourite. | 0:48:03 | 0:48:05 | |
The Royal Doulton Jimmy Durante mug. | 0:48:05 | 0:48:08 | |
Here's your chance to make someone happy. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:11 | |
Where'd you start me on this one? | 0:48:11 | 0:48:13 | |
£10? £10 for it, quickly, come on. | 0:48:13 | 0:48:15 | |
It's here to go. £10. | 0:48:15 | 0:48:16 | |
It's got to be sold. Are you coming online at £10? | 0:48:16 | 0:48:19 | |
£10 there. | 0:48:19 | 0:48:20 | |
Hooray! | 0:48:20 | 0:48:21 | |
We've taken off. | 0:48:21 | 0:48:23 | |
15 if you're coming back online with £10 in the room. | 0:48:23 | 0:48:25 | |
15, are you coming back? At £10, maiden bid. | 0:48:25 | 0:48:28 | |
Internet's gone quiet. It was a long way away, | 0:48:28 | 0:48:30 | |
to be fair. It was Australia. | 0:48:30 | 0:48:31 | |
-What's wrong with that...? -They don't know him. | 0:48:31 | 0:48:33 | |
Where's the American bidders? | 0:48:33 | 0:48:35 | |
Last chance. All finished and done? | 0:48:35 | 0:48:37 | |
Oh! Well, that's a surprise. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:41 | |
Thanks very much, Mick, for your support. | 0:48:41 | 0:48:44 | |
Thank you for your support. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:45 | |
I feel really humbled. | 0:48:45 | 0:48:46 | |
Don't worry, Ricky, you bought from the heart, and that's what counts. | 0:48:48 | 0:48:51 | |
Listen, don't be worrying. | 0:48:53 | 0:48:54 | |
Any idiot could have bought that. | 0:48:54 | 0:48:56 | |
Don't rub it in, Mickey, your bamboo brush pot is next. | 0:48:59 | 0:49:02 | |
Bids this time will open at £35. | 0:49:03 | 0:49:05 | |
35. | 0:49:05 | 0:49:06 | |
£35 I'm bid. | 0:49:06 | 0:49:07 | |
40. Five? | 0:49:07 | 0:49:08 | |
£40 in the room. 45 online if you're coming back. | 0:49:08 | 0:49:11 | |
-£40 in the room. -It's good, though, it's online. | 0:49:11 | 0:49:13 | |
50 in the room. | 0:49:13 | 0:49:14 | |
55 online, are you coming back? | 0:49:14 | 0:49:16 | |
-Clearing it. -60 in the room. 65 online. | 0:49:16 | 0:49:18 | |
-70. -Ah! Profit. | 0:49:18 | 0:49:20 | |
75 online? £70 in the room. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:22 | |
75. 80. Five. 90. Five? | 0:49:22 | 0:49:25 | |
-Stop. -Stop, he says! | 0:49:25 | 0:49:28 | |
-Oh, no, it's good. -I'm selling at £110, are we all sure? | 0:49:28 | 0:49:32 | |
110. Sold. | 0:49:32 | 0:49:34 | |
Lady's bid. Paddle up, 608. | 0:49:34 | 0:49:36 | |
-Thank you very much. -Well done. | 0:49:36 | 0:49:38 | |
I think Ricky's upset. | 0:49:40 | 0:49:42 | |
Well done, Team Mickey. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:43 | |
A great profit. | 0:49:43 | 0:49:45 | |
You see, it's not the winning, it's the taking part. | 0:49:45 | 0:49:49 | |
Come on, Ricky, never fear, your 19th century urn is up next. | 0:49:52 | 0:49:57 | |
£20 for it, quickly, anybody coming in for this one? Nice piece at £20. | 0:49:57 | 0:50:00 | |
Internet's thinking about it. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:01 | |
-At £20. No interest at 20. -Oh, come on, internet. -20, I've got you. | 0:50:01 | 0:50:04 | |
-A bid at 20. -We're off. | 0:50:04 | 0:50:06 | |
At £20, maiden bid. Come on, be quick. | 0:50:06 | 0:50:08 | |
At £20. 25 anywhere else? | 0:50:08 | 0:50:09 | |
-We need more than that. -£25? | 0:50:09 | 0:50:10 | |
For an extra fiver. At £20, then. | 0:50:10 | 0:50:12 | |
Come on! | 0:50:12 | 0:50:14 | |
Internet's quiet. Room's quiet. | 0:50:14 | 0:50:17 | |
£20 it is. Paddle aloft. | 0:50:17 | 0:50:19 | |
That's a bad result. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:20 | |
-I know! -It's a bad result. | 0:50:20 | 0:50:22 | |
My bad result was coming out with him. | 0:50:22 | 0:50:25 | |
I'm sure things will pick up soon, Ricky. | 0:50:25 | 0:50:28 | |
Ricky, five, six years, you'll forget this ever happened. | 0:50:28 | 0:50:32 | |
Next, Mickey's microscopes. | 0:50:36 | 0:50:39 | |
-There they are. -£20. | 0:50:40 | 0:50:42 | |
Put the hammer down, 20 quid. | 0:50:42 | 0:50:43 | |
Two microscopes, £20 I'm bid. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:45 | |
-25 anywhere else? -Come on. -Maiden bid seems cheap. | 0:50:45 | 0:50:48 | |
Very cheap, this. 25 anywhere else? | 0:50:48 | 0:50:50 | |
-Oh, no! -£20. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:51 | |
-I'm going to have to sell them at £20. -Oh, we're... | 0:50:51 | 0:50:53 | |
Internet. 25 online. | 0:50:53 | 0:50:54 | |
-Got you, 30 in the room. -Oh, no. | 0:50:54 | 0:50:57 | |
-Come on. -At £35 I'm asking. | 0:50:57 | 0:51:00 | |
-Oh, no! -35. 40? Still only £20 each. | 0:51:00 | 0:51:02 | |
£40 in the room. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:04 | |
45, are you coming back online? | 0:51:04 | 0:51:06 | |
-£40. -You're lucky, they were going to sell at 20, then. | 0:51:06 | 0:51:08 | |
Online, quickly, one last bid. | 0:51:08 | 0:51:10 | |
£40, then, room bid, I'll have to take it at 40. | 0:51:10 | 0:51:12 | |
-Are we all done? -Oh, no. | 0:51:12 | 0:51:14 | |
-£40 for the two microscopes. -That's not a big loss. | 0:51:14 | 0:51:17 | |
Oh, congratulations! | 0:51:17 | 0:51:19 | |
-Well, we were... -I'm thrilled. | 0:51:19 | 0:51:22 | |
Don't take it the wrong way. | 0:51:22 | 0:51:24 | |
Great support, fellas. | 0:51:25 | 0:51:27 | |
Don't worry, Mickey, plenty more to go. | 0:51:27 | 0:51:31 | |
You see, that vindicated me. | 0:51:31 | 0:51:32 | |
-You see, you put the jinx on it. -I did put the jinx on it. | 0:51:32 | 0:51:35 | |
-Carry on doing that. -Wiped our profit on the brush. | 0:51:35 | 0:51:37 | |
Yeah. It's wiped our profit on the brush. | 0:51:37 | 0:51:39 | |
Ricky's next with the copper powder flask. | 0:51:39 | 0:51:43 | |
-It's this. -Oh, look, that looks nice. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:45 | |
-Always collectable. -Bids and interest at £30. £30. | 0:51:45 | 0:51:48 | |
£30 straight in. | 0:51:48 | 0:51:49 | |
Takes the commission bid out. | 0:51:49 | 0:51:51 | |
This is good. | 0:51:51 | 0:51:53 | |
Online at £30. 35 on the internet. | 0:51:53 | 0:51:54 | |
40, you're out. 35, internet bid. | 0:51:54 | 0:51:57 | |
Seems about right at 35. 40 anywhere else in the room? | 0:51:57 | 0:52:00 | |
40 anywhere else online? | 0:52:00 | 0:52:01 | |
-Come on... -No. | 0:52:01 | 0:52:02 | |
This is good, this is our good thing. | 0:52:02 | 0:52:04 | |
£35. All done and finished? | 0:52:04 | 0:52:07 | |
That's what we paid. | 0:52:07 | 0:52:09 | |
35. | 0:52:09 | 0:52:11 | |
-I liked it. -I thought that would make more. | 0:52:11 | 0:52:13 | |
So did I, Catherine. | 0:52:13 | 0:52:14 | |
That's a real bargain for a lucky buyer. | 0:52:14 | 0:52:16 | |
I'm putting on my trying-to-care face. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:20 | |
Are you? | 0:52:20 | 0:52:21 | |
Dry your eyes, Ricky. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:25 | |
Right, Mickey's next to go with his entrenching tool. | 0:52:25 | 0:52:28 | |
-Bids and interest, 35. -Interest, £35. | 0:52:28 | 0:52:31 | |
-What did you pay, again? -35. | 0:52:31 | 0:52:32 | |
Handy for the garden, if you're desperate. At £35. 40 anywhere else? | 0:52:32 | 0:52:36 | |
£35 for the military. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:37 | |
At 35. 40, can't tempt anyone else? | 0:52:37 | 0:52:40 | |
-Surely another one. -On commission at 35. | 0:52:40 | 0:52:43 | |
Bid's left with us. All sure and done at 35? | 0:52:43 | 0:52:45 | |
Last chance. | 0:52:45 | 0:52:47 | |
Darn it. | 0:52:49 | 0:52:51 | |
-I, well... -HE CHUCKLES | 0:52:51 | 0:52:54 | |
Another interesting buy at a snip of a price. | 0:52:54 | 0:52:57 | |
Oh, we only broke even. | 0:52:57 | 0:52:59 | |
We broke even. | 0:52:59 | 0:53:01 | |
I hate that. | 0:53:01 | 0:53:02 | |
Ricky's Edwardian lamp is next to go. | 0:53:03 | 0:53:06 | |
Looks much better on the screen, anyway! | 0:53:06 | 0:53:08 | |
£100 for the standard lamp. Anybody coming in at £100? | 0:53:08 | 0:53:11 | |
No interest at £100. | 0:53:11 | 0:53:12 | |
I'm going to drop it down, then. £50 for it. | 0:53:12 | 0:53:14 | |
I can't bear it. It was such a good thing. | 0:53:14 | 0:53:17 | |
No interest at £50. | 0:53:17 | 0:53:18 | |
Can't tempt anyone at £50 for the standard lamp, | 0:53:18 | 0:53:20 | |
-the brass standard lamp? -If you start... -Come on. | 0:53:20 | 0:53:23 | |
-I am absolutely astounded. -It's so sleek, it's such a nice thing. | 0:53:23 | 0:53:26 | |
This is ridiculous. At £50 I'm bid. | 0:53:26 | 0:53:28 | |
Do I see 55? Any other competition? | 0:53:28 | 0:53:29 | |
Surely. Someone shine a light on it. | 0:53:29 | 0:53:32 | |
£50. 55 anywhere else? | 0:53:32 | 0:53:34 | |
£50, the maiden bid, and I will sell at £50. | 0:53:34 | 0:53:36 | |
No other competition for the standard lamp? | 0:53:36 | 0:53:38 | |
You've all got standard lamps at home, I presume. | 0:53:38 | 0:53:40 | |
-At £50. We all sure, done and finished? -I loved it. | 0:53:40 | 0:53:42 | |
I really, really loved that. | 0:53:42 | 0:53:43 | |
-Gosh. -Hope you're satisfied now. | 0:53:43 | 0:53:46 | |
-Yes. -You're satisfied now, aren't you? | 0:53:46 | 0:53:49 | |
-No, I feel terrible. -That's a real shame, Ricky. | 0:53:49 | 0:53:52 | |
It was an elegant thing. | 0:53:52 | 0:53:54 | |
I'm only laughing on the inside. | 0:53:54 | 0:53:55 | |
-You're gloating. -No, we're not. | 0:53:55 | 0:53:57 | |
We're not gloating, honestly. | 0:53:57 | 0:53:59 | |
Mickey's railway plaques are next. | 0:54:02 | 0:54:03 | |
Anybody coming in for these at £20? | 0:54:05 | 0:54:07 | |
Can't tempt anyone at £20. | 0:54:07 | 0:54:08 | |
You're going to make me work hard. | 0:54:08 | 0:54:10 | |
-Yes. -£10 for the two, then, quickly. | 0:54:10 | 0:54:12 | |
Where are all the hands? £10 for these two. Ten, thank you. Ten. | 0:54:12 | 0:54:15 | |
I'll take 15 off anyone else. | 0:54:15 | 0:54:16 | |
This is a disaster. | 0:54:16 | 0:54:18 | |
-£10, it is. -It's not. | 0:54:18 | 0:54:20 | |
At £10 it is, then. | 0:54:20 | 0:54:22 | |
12 at the back. 15. | 0:54:22 | 0:54:23 | |
Oh, go on, an extra three quid. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:25 | |
-No? -Yeah, yeah. | 0:54:25 | 0:54:27 | |
Are you sure? Oh, go on, yeah. | 0:54:27 | 0:54:28 | |
It'll be hilarious. £12 at the back. | 0:54:28 | 0:54:31 | |
Put it on your cooker for 15 quid. | 0:54:31 | 0:54:33 | |
Can't tempt you? It's £12 at the back of the room. | 0:54:33 | 0:54:35 | |
-At £12, then. -Get it down, get it down! -Are we all finished at £12? | 0:54:35 | 0:54:38 | |
Right... Oh... | 0:54:38 | 0:54:39 | |
RICKY CHEERS | 0:54:39 | 0:54:41 | |
-LAUGHTER -It wasn't a loss, was it? | 0:54:41 | 0:54:44 | |
Oh, don't worry. | 0:54:44 | 0:54:46 | |
Ricky's enjoying himself. | 0:54:46 | 0:54:49 | |
Never mind, Mickey, you're still in the lead. | 0:54:49 | 0:54:51 | |
-It's not a loss, it's a disaster. -It's only a small loss. | 0:54:52 | 0:54:54 | |
It's a disaster, not a loss. | 0:54:54 | 0:54:56 | |
Next, it's Ricky's collection of Meccano and Dinky toy garden tools. | 0:54:58 | 0:55:03 | |
They are sweet, they are small. | 0:55:03 | 0:55:05 | |
If you've got a window box, they could be really handy. | 0:55:05 | 0:55:08 | |
Where do you start me? £10 for them. | 0:55:08 | 0:55:10 | |
Ten. 15. | 0:55:10 | 0:55:12 | |

40. Are you sure, this time? | 0:55:25 | 0:55:28 | |
Absolutely? Because you weren't sure last time. | 0:55:28 | 0:55:30 | |
£40 at the back. 45 anywhere else? | 0:55:30 | 0:55:32 | |
45 online? 45 anywhere else in the room? | 0:55:32 | 0:55:34 | |
£40 on the back row. | 0:55:34 | 0:55:35 | |
I'm selling them at £40. | 0:55:35 | 0:55:36 | |
Last chance. At £40, they're going. | 0:55:36 | 0:55:38 | |
-Sold. -Well done. | 0:55:38 | 0:55:40 | |
That's good. Good. | 0:55:40 | 0:55:42 | |
-Nice one. -Finally, a profit for Ricky. | 0:55:42 | 0:55:46 | |
I want to borrow the wheelbarrow to take the profits home in. | 0:55:46 | 0:55:50 | |
Meccano! | 0:55:51 | 0:55:53 | |
Chin up, Ricky. Right, it's the final lot of the day. | 0:55:55 | 0:55:58 | |
Mickey's Satsuma powder bowl. | 0:55:58 | 0:56:00 | |
£45. Takes all the other bidders out straightaway. | 0:56:01 | 0:56:03 | |
At 45, we're in and 50 online. | 0:56:03 | 0:56:05 | |
55. And 60 online, are you back? | 0:56:05 | 0:56:07 | |
It's 55 on commission with us. | 0:56:07 | 0:56:09 | |
-You should double. Come on. -60 anywhere else in the room? | 0:56:09 | 0:56:11 | |
£60 on the internet. It's back. | 0:56:11 | 0:56:13 | |
In the room - I'll come back to you. 65. | 0:56:13 | 0:56:15 | |
Let's do the room. 65, 70. | 0:56:15 | 0:56:16 | |
-75? -I'm out. | 0:56:16 | 0:56:18 | |

75. 80 behind. | 0:56:19 | 0:56:21 | |
85? 90 behind. | 0:56:21 | 0:56:22 | |
Very good. This is good! | 0:56:22 | 0:56:24 | |

-Well done. -140. 150. 160. 170. | 0:56:26 | 0:56:30 | |
180. 190. 200. | 0:56:30 | 0:56:31 | |
Oh, my goodness! | 0:56:31 | 0:56:34 | |
That's a definite no, isn't it? | 0:56:34 | 0:56:36 | |
-Well done! -Satsuma's not doing that well. | 0:56:36 | 0:56:39 | |
I know, but this is a good quality... | 0:56:39 | 0:56:41 | |
This is a good example. | 0:56:41 | 0:56:43 | |
£190. Are we all sure, now? | 0:56:43 | 0:56:44 | |
At 190. Finished and done? | 0:56:44 | 0:56:47 | |
-BANGS GAVEL -Oh, well done. | 0:56:47 | 0:56:50 | |
I'm really pleased for you. | 0:56:50 | 0:56:51 | |
No. No, I don't want to shake hands. | 0:56:51 | 0:56:54 | |
Blooming heck! | 0:56:54 | 0:56:56 | |
What a way to end the auction, eh? | 0:56:56 | 0:56:59 | |
Right, here we go. | 0:56:59 | 0:57:01 | |
