0:00:02 > 0:00:03The nation's favourite celebrities...
0:00:03 > 0:00:04- Oh!- Just want to touch BASS.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06..paired up with an expert...
0:00:06 > 0:00:08- Boo!- Oh!
0:00:08 > 0:00:09..and a classic car.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10No hands!
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Their mission? To scour Britain for antiques.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15My office, now!
0:00:15 > 0:00:20The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no easy ride.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21- CAR RUMBLES - Oh!
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Who will find a hidden gem?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24- HORN HONKS - I like that.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Who will take the biggest risk?
0:00:25 > 0:00:27This could end in disaster.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Will anybody follow expert advice?
0:00:30 > 0:00:31But I love this!
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Why would you buy something you're not going to use?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:35 > 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.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Yeah!
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Today we'll be crossing the Cotswolds, not the Andes,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59with two friends who happen to be very fine actresses.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02How are you feeling in the passenger seat with me?
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Hanging onto this seat belt, Sharon. - I know!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Just acting, I think.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Yep, it's Sharon Maughan and Tina Hobley. How lovely.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13We're in the country, antique shopping,
0:01:13 > 0:01:17so you're going to be hanging out with antiques other than me today!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Oh, those two have been long-familiar faces
0:01:20 > 0:01:24on our TV screens, with Tina pulling pints in the Rovers Return,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26and Sharon appearing in commercial breaks.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm having a dinner party,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31and I've run out of coffee.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I loved those adverts, they were fantastic.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I really do hope they bring them back one day.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Me too. They first met when they co-starred in top BBC medical drama
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Holby City, Sharon playing a nurse,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45and Tina as her ward-sister daughter.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Mum?- I really thought you two were finished.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51I ended up having an affair with your husband, I think, didn't I?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54You did. We had a big cat fight, do you remember?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I quite liked having a cat fight with you.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59You told me that Robert Powell wasn't my father,
0:01:59 > 0:02:00after all those years.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Yeah, but Robert Powell was never your real father, darling.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- I know!- Not in real life!
0:02:05 > 0:02:07TIM LAUGHS
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Sure to be well acquainted with Holby goings-on will be our experts,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18antiqueurs James Braxton and Raj Bisram.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Raj, you've never trained as a doctor, have you?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23White coat and stethoscope - badge of office, aren't they?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Well, I think with my medical complaints, I should definitely...
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I'm going to need a nurse with me!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32All with plenty of cream, I hope. At least they know a bit
0:02:32 > 0:02:35about vintage cars, like this 1965 Jag Mark 2.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37When they finished the Mark 1, they said,
0:02:37 > 0:02:42"We want to build another one, and we want to give it more space,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44"more pace, and more grace."
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Or even grace, pace and space.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48It COULD have been that way around!
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Mind you, that 1967 Volvo is pretty sprightly, too,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55which should please car fan Tina.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I love speed. Speed, speed, speed.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Second gear, bingo, I did it. - This is a little, uh...
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Don't be funny about it!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- I did it, I'm very happy. - Well done, Sharon.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10So, with £400 each plus a tiger in their tank,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13let's get them teamed up and on the road.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Hello.- Hello, hello, hello, hello. - How are you?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- James.- Sharon. Lovely to meet you. - Hello, Sharon.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Tina, lovely to meet you. - Hi, Tina, I'm Raj.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Meet your competition. Sharon.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Hello, Sharon.- How are you? Good to see you.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Hello, James. Nice to meet you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Hi, James, you're looking at the winners.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Oh, come on.- No, no, no.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34The winners are the first there.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Yes, off we go!- Bye-bye.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Let's get to the shops!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Those two don't hang about, do they?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Today's trip will end up beside the seaside at an auction in Brighton,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49but there's an awful lot of shopping around Gloucestershire before then,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51starting out in the county city.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57What are you like at the haggle?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- The haggle?- Is there a bit of Marrakech in you?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02In Marrakech, there is,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04but do you think the English are any good at it?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- I think we should be.- I'll haggle today if you want me to haggle.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Shall I haggle? - Yeah, I want you to haggle.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Sounds like our experts are taking their job very seriously.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16For a collector, or someone who's passionate about antiques,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19buying something that they can live with - that's the beauty.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Do you think that's what we should do today, then?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23No, no.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Our first celebrity to dip toe into water is Tina,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31in the port city of Gloucester, down by the docks. Oh, yes.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- This is good. - Upstairs, Downstairs.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Yeah. - You go one way, I'll go the other.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- OK.- If you see anything you like, give me a shout.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- I will.- OK, see you in a second.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44I wonder if Tina's experience in medical drama might pay off.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I like that one.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Always tense affairs, aren't they?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50You're the coin man, aren't you?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Medals. - Medals, medals, medals, not coins.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57How's our unflappable consultant getting on?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58I do like that.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00The ticket price is £95.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I think I'm going to have to call Tina.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Tina? What poise, eh?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Oh, I like this. So, it's an antique desk stool.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Look at that, and it's all attached.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13£40. If I could get it for 20,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- I'm sure we could sell it for more than that.- It suits you,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20but you mustn't be buying anything without checking on me price-wise.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22There's a lot of them around,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25and I don't think they're great, great sellers.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Oh, OK. Fine, well, that's why you're here. We'll leave that.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Very stern, Raj.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35His lamp's one on the wish list, and now Tina's grabbed dealer Vic.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37A leather jewellery box. That's quite nice.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- It's pretty. - It's very pretty, isn't it?- Mm-hm.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42It's only got a key as well.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- It gets better - it's 95 quid. - OK.- You can have it for 60 quid.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Really? OK, good.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- That, I'm sure... - ..Is the right key?
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Yep.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- I like that.- You've got a very old London maker lock.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- And I can have it for 60? - 60 quid will do.- I like that!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Thank you. Now, I have to consult my expert, though.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Yes.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I'm not sure she wants to.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10What about our other lean antiquing machine?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Oh, my gosh, we've got a little Cotswold moment.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Breathe in!
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Lovely. He's done that before. - He's obviously used to it, yeah.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Well, HE has. They seem to be navigating the hills rather nicely.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Motoring to their first shop in Winchcombe,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28the Cotswold town on the River Isbourne.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Very nicely parked. Look at that. Aren't we lucky bunnies?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Yeah, it's a popular place all right.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37First antique shop. Isn't this exciting?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Winchcombe Antiques. I am quite excited, actually.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- It's all about fate.- Yes. - Something will find us.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Well, let's first find the proprietor.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Here's our man.- Hello there.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Hello.- Richard.- I'm Sharon, lovely to meet you, Richard.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Hello. James.- Hello, James. - Good to meet you.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Oh, that's very nice, I like to be surrounded by rosewood.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Yes, I like to be surrounded by men!
0:06:58 > 0:06:59And I am.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Yeah, that's true. Now, antiques.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04There's definitely enough here, I'd say.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Oh, I love a box.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Look at this gorgeous oak stationery box.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Let's open it up and see what's inside.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Look how lovely that is!
0:07:13 > 0:07:16All your filing, all your envelopes, all your letter-headed paper,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18your ink, your inkwells, this is for your pens.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21When I was at school, you had to write with pen and ink,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23you couldn't write with biros, as they called it,
0:07:23 > 0:07:24but I don't know if there is a market for it.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I have to keep reminding myself, not just what I like,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29but how I can make money.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Ticket price, £78.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I absolutely love this.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37It's described as a Victorian cylinder cupboard.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I don't know what the Victorians did with a cylinder cupboard,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- but what- I- would do with this, this is very Soho House.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46That's a miniature drinks cupboard, isn't it?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49It's so cool, and a beautiful decanter on top, perhaps.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54But it's expensive, it's, er... £225!
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Sharon's already up to speed. What's James got there?
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Three early coloured engravings of Brighton scenes.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07This first one here is known as Kings Road, Brighton,
0:08:07 > 0:08:11but rather fun - on the beach, they've got the fish market,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14and Brighton fish market used to be on the shingle,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18and then we've got another one here. This is the Chain Pier.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22This was built by a chap called Captain Samuel Brown, who built
0:08:22 > 0:08:26early suspension bridges, and this predates Clifton Suspension Bridge.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30And then this is the other one here, we've got here the
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Victorian fountain, erected in 1846.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37So it must be post-1846.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41They're nice, they're rosewood. They have gilt slips, original frames.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43What have we got? We've got £118.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Brighton scenes. We're selling in Brighton.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I think that has our name on them.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Could be a canny find.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Sewing machine.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I used to make all my own clothes when I was a young girl.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57It was the only way I could get the clothes I wanted to buy
0:08:57 > 0:08:59in the slums of Liverpool.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02So I had a hand sewing machine, rather like that one.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Mine was a Singer. The thing is,
0:09:03 > 0:09:09I don't know what is basically second-hand, and what is antique.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12That is a very good question.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Over in Gloucester, things have taken a military turn.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17This looks rather interesting.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19It looks like an army kit, isn't it?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21So, 1944, it says.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25How wonderful. It's a grooming kit, isn't it?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28And it's got the paperwork to go with it. Look!
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Oh, I like this. And we're going to be selling in Brighton,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35and I think this is quite trendy.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Ticket price, £55, though.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40So, the whole kit is there, it's complete.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45The brushes, the trimmers, the combs, and the scissors.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Well, let's see what Raj makes of it.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- If you could get him down to, say, 20...- Yes?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52..then I think that would be quite saleable.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Do you?- Yeah.- Right, let's go and see if I can do a deal, then.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Shall we leave it for the moment? - All right.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Before we do a deal - and I know you want to do a deal -
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- can I show you something? - Yes, of course.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03OK, I've got a couple of things. Come this way.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Raj's list includes a tunic, like the one Tina admired earlier,
0:10:08 > 0:10:09and that lamp.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10What do you think?
0:10:10 > 0:10:15Well, I think I've thrown something away like that, maybe last week!
0:10:15 > 0:10:16What a reaction!
0:10:16 > 0:10:19The Anglepoise lamp was invented in the early 1930s, and this one is by
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Terry & Sons, who soon began manufacturing it under licence.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27This kind of stuff is really in vogue at the moment.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- And this at auction could make £70 to £100,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35no problem at all. Now, there's £95 on the ticket, but again,
0:10:35 > 0:10:39if we could get this at £50, snap it off their hands.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Absolutely, this would be a good deal.- Would it?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- And the other thing I found... - I love this.- Do you?- Yes!
0:10:45 > 0:10:46- Well, I love it, too.- Yes!
0:10:46 > 0:10:49It's a tunic of the glorious Glosters Regiment.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Ticket price, £120.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I'm going to give you a challenge, OK?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57I want you to go in there and get these three items, OK,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- for £100.- Crikey, Raj!
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Let's see what we can do. - Absolutely.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Now, is Vic there? Vic!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Oh, yes, and Rob.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Hi, guys. Rob.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08- And Vic.- And Vic.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12OK. I'm very excited about the couple of items we've found.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14So, the jacket, the beautiful Gloster...
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Gloster Regiment bandsman's jacket.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Yes, we love it, but what's the best price you could do for me?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- We could probably come down to 60. - £60, thank you.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Now, we love the lamp.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Yes.- It's an industrial lamp, it's very on trend at the moment.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- It is.- We could do a lot with that, but what's the best price on that?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33We'll take 50 quid for this.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Thank you very much. Now, just one little thing that caught my eye.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39It's the army barber's kit.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I think 20 would be great for me on that.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44OK, then, we'll call it 25.
0:11:44 > 0:11:4625, so what are we up to, Raj?
0:11:46 > 0:11:5260, 50, that's 110, and 25, so 135.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54If you can get another fiver off that and a fiver off the jacket,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I think, for the sake of a tenner, we're at 125,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I think that's a fair deal, see what they can do.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01What do you think, gentlemen?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03You know you said I had a nice smile?
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Say it again! How about giving me it for 20, the barber's kit?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- We can do that. - I'll take it away.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Really?- We can do that.- Thank you.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Can I make it 55 on the jacket?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17And I'll tell you, we're going to win this.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I reckon you'll win anyway, because you got the best regiment
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- in the British Army.- Ah!- You can even try the hat on, if you like.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Oh! Oh, I love it, I love it all.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Does it suit me, Sir?- It definitely suits you.- Those eyes.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33It definitely suits you! It definitely suits you.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Do you think you could come down another fiver for me?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- I could probably do that for you. - Gentlemen, you are fantastic.- Oh!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Shake their hands. - Delighted. Thank you.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Good doing business with you.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45That was quite a big deal!
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- And one Lady Godiva. - Look at that, thank you.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Thank you very much.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Now, while those two stick the swag in the Jag...
0:12:52 > 0:12:54So pleased with what we've got.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Brilliant things.- Yes! - I mean, you did really well.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00..where are we in Winchcombe?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Georgian, bird feeder.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Oh, it's for in a bird cage.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08A little tiny bird feeder for in a bird cage,
0:13:08 > 0:13:10when everyone had a little budgerigar.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I've never seen that before. Isn't that sweet?
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Very cheap, it's £15, for anybody who has a budgie.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Cor, she's good. Time for a bit of show and tell, I reckon.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25I spotted these pictures, and the dear old humble engraving,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28and the first one is the Steine in Brighton.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Oh, my goodness.- I love this one - this is the front at Brighton,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35and then you've got bathing machines. Rather fun.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Bathing machine?
0:13:37 > 0:13:42- Yeah, to preserve your modesty. - Oh, yes.- So you undressed in there,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46and then the machine was taken into the water, and then you jumped out.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Oh, wow.- So, you've got these three things here,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52nicely framed in rosewood. They're a bit yesteryear.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54So what do we think about them being a bit yesteryear?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Well, it's going to Brighton.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00There will be some people harking back to the past, won't there?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02You don't think it's a bit coal to Newcastle?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05No, because actually I don't think they have much relevance up here,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I think they have more relevance in Brighton, don't they?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Yeah, they do. Yeah, yeah. - Have you found anything?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11You bet she has.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Oh, isn't that lovely?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16So, a stationery... All your envelopes.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18All your envelopes, your letter-headed paper, your ink.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Look at this beautiful little inkwell, and your pens here.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24And the lid - does it open?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- I didn't know it had the lid! - And then THIS may open.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Does that open?- Oh, no, I didn't have the courage you had.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Secret drawer. How much have they got on it?- 70 something.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35That sounds a bit cheap. I think that's good value.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- You're very good, Sharon.- This extraordinary little thing here.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- Cylindrical washstand.- Cylinder cupboard.- It was a cylinder washtub?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- A washstand, yeah. - A washstand, that's what it was.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Washstand. But that's why it was marble.- Ah.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50So you would have had your wash basin there,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53and then you could have poured it on, and you would wash.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57It's quite a plain one, because this is made of pine.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- Do you like that?- I like cylindrical things, because it has novelty.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02It's different.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Bend ze knees, and off to see Richard.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07We need to get these things as cheaply as we can.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Is there a deal to be done?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11What's the lowest you could do on that?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Yeah, well, that, I haven't got much room for manoeuvre.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- So it's 78 at present. And the best...- 55?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20..literally just 70 I can do.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Now, the ticket price on this was £225, remember.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28This very expensive, very expensive drinks cabinet.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30What's your best price on this?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I'd probably have to give the chap a call.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33- What's it got on it?- A lot of money.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- It's got a lot of money. It's pine. - The best I can do is 200
0:15:36 > 0:15:38without speaking to him, so I would need to give him a shout.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Could you give him a shout? - Yeah, no worries.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43No, but really, he'd need to literally know
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- it would need to be half that. - I'll try.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48What about these mid-19th-century pictures?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Well, they are Brighton, aren't they?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52So that's ideal for you, but the best I can do on that is 90.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- 90?- Yeah, £30 apiece.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Doesn't sound too bad, but while Richard gets on the phone,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Sharon has one more little suggestion.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Do you know what that is? - I don't know what that is.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07This is a Georgian bird feeder.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- I love it. - For a cage, for the bird cage,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11for your little beloved budgie.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- Isn't that lovely? - Isn't it lovely, and you know what?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16It's Georgian. I've never seen anything like it before.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Nor have I.- Do you like it?- I REALLY like it.- Oh, I'm so excited.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Really like it.- I found it!
0:16:21 > 0:16:25But with the other dealer out of reach, let's focus here.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- So, definitely having that.- Good.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I think it's a choice between that or that.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Well, obviously, in Brighton...
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I think we should take a punt.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37We've got two proper antiques.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- You like that, don't you?- I love it. - So happy about that.- Very clever.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I'm with an expert!
0:16:44 > 0:16:45I learn fast.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Come on, you learn very fast.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- We're going to have those two, Richard.- No problem at all.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Nicely done. One each. £105 to pay.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55That's it, Sharon, milk it!
0:16:55 > 0:16:57..80, 90, 100.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I believe you might owe me a £5 note.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Oh, she's such a performer, as is her friend and rival.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09I have known Sharon for about 12 years.
0:17:09 > 0:17:15She came on Holby to play my mother, and whenever I can get that in,
0:17:15 > 0:17:16particularly on television...
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Crikey, no wonder that fight was so convincing.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21And then we became dearest, dearest friends.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25If I took one thing away from Holby, it was meeting Sharon.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29These days, Tina has yet another string to her bow - radio.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34I don't know how I got into this world, but I do a weekday show,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37drive-time show, so it's Monday to Friday, and then I do a Sunday show,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40which I've been doing for the last three years.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42And I absolutely love it.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45What do you think would be the ideal music for us to be playing?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Oh, now, what would I play to go with this beauty?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I think she deserves a bit of Nina Simone.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Would you like to hear that?- Yeah. - She's very smooth.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- You're very smooth!- Oh!
0:17:58 > 0:18:01There's another reason Tina is a hit on drive-time -
0:18:01 > 0:18:05she's also a keen motor-racing fan, with a licence,
0:18:05 > 0:18:09which explains why they're currently heading deep into the Cotswolds
0:18:09 > 0:18:13towards Prescott Hill, to learn about one of the very oldest forms
0:18:13 > 0:18:16of motorsport - speed hill climbing.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19This course, a throwback to the more rudimentary early days,
0:18:19 > 0:18:22is basically the drive to an old manor house,
0:18:22 > 0:18:27as well as being the home of the Bugatti Owners Club. Lovely!
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Oh, Stuart, look at that!
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Yeah, we're very lucky to have this car.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Stuart Webster is the general manager.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37So, are Bugattis from the '20s and '30s,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39are they actually raced here still today?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Yes, we're the Bugatti Owners Club, and we like to show very much
0:18:42 > 0:18:46the history of the car, so, yes, we still have cars which were born
0:18:46 > 0:18:4890 years ago which are still raced here today.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Do you have the own a Bugatti to be a member of the club?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Absolutely not. We have 2,200 members today, and of our members,
0:18:54 > 0:18:58there's about 200 of them that own a Bugatti, but then we have the person
0:18:58 > 0:19:01who likes to come to Prescott to watch the motor racing as well.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Racing at Prescott Hill goes back almost 80 years,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09although the sport itself is even older, dating from time around
0:19:09 > 0:19:13the turn-of-the-century, when racers were first encouraged
0:19:13 > 0:19:18to keep off public roads. It's a short and very fast time trial.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Circuit racing, the start point and finish point are exactly the
0:19:21 > 0:19:23same place. On a hill climb, you go from one point, and you finish
0:19:23 > 0:19:27at a completely different point, and that was part of the challenge,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I guess - taking something which looked like an easy thing to do,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33but turns into something which is really quite technical,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- and quite difficult to do.- How long is the actual course itself?
0:19:36 > 0:19:41It's 1,127 yards, and of course as we're old, we don't work in metres,
0:19:41 > 0:19:43we work in yards, so 1,127 yards.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45All right, easy on the "old"!
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I think he was referring to me, not you!
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Without doubt!
0:19:48 > 0:19:54So, the course record is 35.51 seconds. 1,127 yards, two hairpins,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57and a near hairpin at the finish line as well,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00which I think will catch your breath when you go round it,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03because it looks like you're going off the end of the world.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I can't wait! When can we get going?
0:20:05 > 0:20:06How about right now?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09With youthful Bugatti driver Piers at the wheel.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11So, what do you want me to do?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13If you pump that lever,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16it will pump air into the fuel tank which will force fuel through to the
0:20:16 > 0:20:19carburettor, so you want to pump away as hard as you possibly can.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- That'll be absolutely fine.- Yeah.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25We'll switch the Magneto on, and press the starter.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Right, let's go for it.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35Stirling Moss competed in his very first trial here in 1948.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39He came fourth.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42It's quite a tricky car to drive, because it's a clutch gearbox,
0:20:42 > 0:20:46which means you have to match your revs to your road speed,
0:20:46 > 0:20:50so if I change gear, and you get a slight crunch,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53it means you haven't quite got it absolutely right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56That was a good one.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00You can see how some of the greats honed their skills up here. CRUNCH
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- I think it's the best noise in the world.- It is.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09Every time it starts, it really does get the blood flowing.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13This 37A Bugatti is one of only three left in the world.
0:21:15 > 0:21:1982 years old, and it's still as good as the day it ever left the factory,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21so they certainly made them to last.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Right. Now, what does Murray Walker say whenever they cross the line?
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Woo!
0:21:29 > 0:21:33But while Tina has being chasing that course record,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37our other pair have been urging the Volvo to new heights.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- Birdlip Hill is one of the steepest hills.- You're joking?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Relax! You're heading the other way, taking our route down to the
0:21:44 > 0:21:48valleys of Stroud, and another chance to strike a shopping blow.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Is Tina very competitive, Sharon?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Oh, she's so competitive!
0:21:52 > 0:21:53She will want to win.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Do you think we'll win? - Of course we'll win!
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Is the right answer.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Malt House! Yay!
0:22:00 > 0:22:03There used to be a brewery here.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Now an antiques centre with over 100 dealers, but it's getting late.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12There's a lovely guitar here, rock star-owned electric guitar.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I have been expecting you, Mr Bond.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Sharon seems the more urgent, I think.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25I think they're the coolest, beautiful Art Deco shape,
0:22:25 > 0:22:29and if they can work, what cool soap dispensers they would be,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- and body cream in the bathroom. - But on the other hand,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35I think barber shops are having a real renaissance, aren't they?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37But that would mean a barber would have to buy them.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- I don't see why not. - And it's still in there.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Look at that. This is completely what you would call authentic.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45It looks too good to be true, doesn't it?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47What is on the price tag?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51The price tag says £145, which is a lot of money from a barber's shop,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53circa 1940.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Great item, aren't they? And the fact that it works.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Look at that, look at the resistance.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Very nice action! - Oh, let's have a word, then.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Hello, James.- Mark.- Mark, hello. - Hello, Mark, Sharon.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Pleased to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Very good. We like these.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10They're a lovely, unique pair.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12The only thing we hate about them is the price.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Well, there's a little movement within there.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- How little is a little? - I can give you 10% off the price.
0:23:19 > 0:23:2014 quid.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23That's not immediately attractive, Mark.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Would it be worth ringing the trader?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30Do you think he might do 100? I would peel off 100 if you...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Do you want to see if he would allow us to peel off 100?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Yeah, I can try. You'll have to give me a few moments.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38They do seem rather set on those, whatever the outcome of the call.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42I've spoken with the dealer, and the best price is 120.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Do you think he might go nearer the 100?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- I don't think he will, no. - You don't?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48I also know they were in one barber shop,
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- and that's in the Forest of Dean, all their life.- Really?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Yeah, they obviously had clientele that still use Brylcreem.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Yes.- You don't, do you?
0:23:58 > 0:23:59I haven't got any hair!
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- Fair enough.- What's the word for when you get the whole history
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- of a piece of art? - The provenance.- The provenance.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Maybe that would enrich the sale.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11It would. And I think Brighton is a good place for it.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Shall we do it? - I would shake the man's hand.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16That's a knuckle duster. I don't know...
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Blimey O'Reilly, watch out!
0:24:18 > 0:24:20So, what are you going to do with these?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- Is this a hand to shake, or...? - It IS a hand to shake!
0:24:23 > 0:24:27So, with £120 dispensed,
0:24:27 > 0:24:31it's time for our couples to head for the hills.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Chug-a-chug-a-chug. We're getting there. Push, push!
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Nighty night, then.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Next day, the local former's looking a lot more familiar.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- Pigs!- Pigs!- Look at them.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47It's a Gloucester old spot!
0:24:47 > 0:24:51And a donkey. It's the biggest Gloucester old spot I've ever seen.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Yesterday, Tina managed to bag a military barber's kit,
0:24:55 > 0:25:00a balanced arm lamp, and a Gloucestershire Regiment tunic.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- You got the best regiment in the British Army.- Ah!
0:25:04 > 0:25:08So, she still has £275 for today's buys,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11whilst Sharon picked up two hair cream dispensers,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14three Brighton engravings, and a Georgian bird feeder.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- I really like that.- Oh, I'm so excited!- Really like that.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18I found it!
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I should tweet it(!)
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Leaving 175 for whatever she might wish yet to acquire.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25How was your bargaining skills?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Terrible. Terrible.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Mine were fabulous.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31So you've got loads and loads and loads of money left.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Not telling you.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36What's the expert opinion, then?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Lovely Sharon's got a good eye for design.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42She found two fabulous things yesterday.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Tina, too.- Really? - And as far as the haggling goes,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- boy, oh, boy.- Mustard, is she?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Which begs the question - do we need these two?
0:25:51 > 0:25:56With your good eye and my amazing bargaining skills,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59we've got a whole new career ahead of us.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Whole new career! You and me on the road, Thelma and Louise.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I'd be Susan Sarandon. You'd be Geena Davis.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Whichever was the one that had sex with Brad Pitt.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08I say!
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Well, that's all sorted, then. First...
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Here we go.- Here they are. They're very race-y, aren't they?
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Look at these ladies!
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Race you, quick! It's all about speed.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18- Is it?- Stay in the car!
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- Morning. Stay in the car? OK. - It's all about speed.- I'm staying!
0:26:21 > 0:26:22- Thank you.- Good morning to you. - Good morning.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- While they're chatting, let's go. - Let's get on the road.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Let's go, let's go.- Quick, quick, first to the shop.- Indeed!
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Later, they'll be haring off to an auction in Brighton, but today's
0:26:38 > 0:26:43first whistle-stop is in the Gloucestershire town of Cirencester.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Bit of a shared shop. Sounds friendly enough, doesn't it?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I'm over the moon, I'm very confident,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- I love the things we bought. - You know what I need, don't you?
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- I need to win. - I know you need to win!
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Oh, yeah. There's no second-place here, Raj.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Crikey. What about the others?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Let's do haggling today.- Haggling.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07The whole of North Africa will be weeping at our lack of haggling.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10The whole of Liverpool will be weeping at mine, because I'm
0:27:10 > 0:27:12from the mentality of everything comes off the back of a lorry.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Well, they've been buying and selling in this market town
0:27:15 > 0:27:19since Roman times, so I'm sure our lot can be accommodated.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Look at...- Is this it?- Yes.- Good.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24But who got there first?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- It's just through here... - Oh, I recognise those voices.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28- Don't tell them, quick!- Oh, dear!
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Avoiding you. - Have you found something?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- Have you found anything yet? - Of course we have.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- OK.- On the way now.- Many choices.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- We're off.- Bye, then.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Was there enough bluster on show there, do you think?
0:27:39 > 0:27:41West German vases.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43They're very good, aren't they? Nice colours.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Very unusual, a vase with a handle.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- It is.- Have you seen that before?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Vase with a handle might also be known
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- as a jug.- A jug!
0:27:51 > 0:27:52Ha! Brackers knows his stuff.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Quality wooden box with silver cartouche.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- 1937.- That's actually a really lovely present,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- because if you want it engraved... - It is, isn't it?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Cigarette box. But it's just all ready to go, isn't it?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- Ready to go, yeah. - That could be bought for 15 quid.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09That might be a fellow, mightn't it?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13That smells like a gentleman from Piccadilly, doesn't it?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15How do YOU know?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17How is our other couple?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- Aha, Tina.- Have you found something? - I know you like glass...- Yes.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22..so I've got a little question for you. Here's a little tester, OK?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- Right.- What does it remind you of?
0:28:26 > 0:28:28A scarf.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Very good. It's actually a handkerchief vase.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- Handkerchief. - And in the 1920s, 1930s,
0:28:33 > 0:28:35these were made, and they're called...
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- Oh, there we go.- Large...
0:28:37 > 0:28:38- Handkerchief vase. - ..handkerchief vase.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40- It's a handkerchief vase, yeah. - Oh, wow.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42And they did them in all different colours.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- It's not the value of it... - No?- ..it's just the unusual shape.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48I mean, that at £28? Nothing, is it?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Not to be sniffed at, but Tina's thinking big.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53I've got £275 in my back pocket.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55I'm desperate to spend it.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58I've just got to make sure it's the right object.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Quite. Meanwhile...
0:29:00 > 0:29:04That is an Ashanti stool.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07So the Ashanti tribe used to carve these stools.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10It's a very... That sort of shape.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12The Ashanti come from central Ghana.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Oh, yes. It's lovely, isn't it? - It is sweet, isn't it?
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Quite stylised. It's quite an elegant elephant.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21It's very good, you've got extended legs...
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- Very lean and long, yeah. - Sort of model-y legs.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27- Yeah, yeah. - That, at £50, would be good.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29We can make a profit on that.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Currently almost twice that, however.
0:29:31 > 0:29:32Ooh!
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Steady!
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Nothing to see here.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38I think the price of that might be going up!
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Now, what's in here?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Ah. That's quite nice.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Yeah, that's not bad, not bad.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49That frame is Art Nouveau. Art Nouveau is really in at the moment.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Yes, yeah.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Ticket price is £78.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53- I think that's lovely.- So do I.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Maybe we should hide it and we'll come back to it later,
0:29:56 > 0:29:57- what do you think?- Oh, OK.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I don't want them to see it, so I really want to hide it.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- I like it. That lovely mirror. - Let's put that up there, on top.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06I wonder if they've got a blanket we could throw over it as well.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08No. I think that's enough.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Sneaky tactics, I like it.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- James?- Yep? - What do you think of this bowl?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15You're drawn to these deco shapes, aren't you?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- Well, it's chic, isn't it?- It's very chic.- It's very chic, very clean.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Ah, Orrefors. Sweden.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23Orrefors Sweden? Is that...?
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Yeah, they're a big sort of very smart design house, of glass.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- But is it modern, then? - I think it's quite modern.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Still got quite a modern label.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35But it's a luxury good.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39To make glass, you have to melt sand to 1,600 degrees centigrade.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Through my hand there, I can see where it's signed.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- Look.- Yep, it's signed.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46It's got a nice label, it's got everything going for it.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48The price is...
0:30:48 > 0:30:50- £65.- Ow. Ow, ow, ow.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54- Hurts.- It does, doesn't it? But also, I want the elephant.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Well, let's see what Will can do.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58- Hi, hello, young man. How are you? - Lovely to meet you.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- We like the bowl.- Mm-hm. - But we don't like the price tag.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03Do you know what that could be done for?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05How does £50 sound to you guys?
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Too much.- Too much. - Too much still?
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- 35?- 35.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- Oh, I'd go lower. - Absolute best, 35.
0:31:13 > 0:31:1435.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16I'd shake the man's hand.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- Would you?- Maybe 30. - You told me to go for 30.- Sorry.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22My friend, my rival, is a really good haggler,
0:31:22 > 0:31:25and I have failed miserably. You can save my life.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- Your inner haggle. - Yeah, go on, then. Do it for 30.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29I l...
0:31:31 > 0:31:33- You've made my day! - Where there's a Will, eh?
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Am I allowed to buy the elephant stool?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Well, depending on how well you negotiate.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- Under 50. It's got to be... 40, I would have thought.- Right.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Remember the ticket price?
0:31:43 > 0:31:4699. Do it at 45, that's the best I can do.
0:31:46 > 0:31:4945. Go on, Will. Put it there, chief. Well done.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Do you want me to hug him for you?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Yeah, kiss him. Kiss the young man.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Oh, haggling and hugging.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- A little plastic fiver. - Oh, that's perfect.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Now, any danger of Tina splashing out?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03This is a lovely cabinet, I like this.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Isn't it? You've got some vesta cases, haven't you?
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- From your dad.- Yes, I have.- I mean, look at that lovely cigarette...
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- Cigar box.- That's a cigar one.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12And that one of there is a little cheroot case.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- Cheroot, what would they...? - Little cigars.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Oh, look down here, Tina.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20There's a lovely set of Art Nouveau silver buttons.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- Oh, yes. - They are lovely.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- And you know when you were talking about the frame earlier?- Yes?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- Could go together?- Yeah, the frame and those could go together.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- 95.- 95. Shall we have a look at them?
0:32:31 > 0:32:32- Yes, yes.- OK.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34I think those are gorgeous.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37These look like they're in their original box.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42- Mm.- They're dated 1903. I think that these are a classic piece.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45So do I. Let's go and negotiate.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Definitely.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49OK. First, we need to retrieve that frame.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Still there. Next, manager Brian.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53We really need your help here, because...
0:32:53 > 0:32:55I'm sure we can do something.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- We love this. - We could do those for 80 for you.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Right, and what about my lovely frame?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02And your frame is 78. Erm...
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Could do that for 65 for you.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- Brian, ideally...- Yeah? - We're looking around £100.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Oh, gosh. How about 120?
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- Why don't we split the difference? - That's a good idea.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- Yes?- Yeah.- Are you happy with 110? - Yeah.- Thank you, Brian.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- It's a pleasure. - Thank you very much.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22Well, that was fruitful.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Money?- Money!- We've got to pay him, we've got to pay the man!
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Thought I could get away with a smile.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Nice try, Tina.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32But what about Sharon and James?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34What's the pathway to acting?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Well, the only way through for me was to apply for drama schools.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39So I applied for the Royal Academy Of Dramatic Art, Rada.
0:33:39 > 0:33:4230 shillings, you paid, for an audition.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Two speeches, one Shakespeare, one modern.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47But I'm crying down the side of the chair, going
0:33:47 > 0:33:50"Nothing, nothing, nothing. Not even my own soul."
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Two weeks later got a letter saying, "You've been accepted at Rada,"
0:33:53 > 0:33:57and poverty was a massive advantage, because I got a full grant.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Currently resting from their shopping duties, those two
0:34:01 > 0:34:04are crossing into Oxfordshire, and the village of Kelmscott.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Have you ever worked with your husband, Trevor Eve?
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Only once, recently, we were asked to appear in
0:34:10 > 0:34:14a version of Pygmalion at Buckingham Palace in front of the Queen.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17I did not play Eliza, I played the housekeeper,
0:34:17 > 0:34:18and he played Professor Higgins.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21It was in the Investiture Room, and it was like doing it in somebody's
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- front parlour.- Fabulous.- It was very funny, and a real privilege.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25It was very exciting.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30This is Kelmscott Manor, where they're about to learn the story
0:34:30 > 0:34:33of the fair lady who some believe was the inspiration
0:34:33 > 0:34:35for Pygmalion's Eliza Doolittle...
0:34:37 > 0:34:38Quiet little nook.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41..in the company of Victorian art expert, Jan Marsh.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Hello. I'm Jan.- I'm Sharon.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- Nice to meet you.- James. - James, nice to meet you.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- And welcome to Kelmscott Manor. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53This Elizabethan home was leased as a country retreat by the
0:34:53 > 0:34:56great artist and designer William Morris, and his friend,
0:34:56 > 0:34:59the painter and poet Dante Gabriele Rossetti.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02So, is this all original...?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Yes, this house has hardly changed since the Morrises were here.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08But the other person closely associated with Kelmscott
0:35:08 > 0:35:12is the Pre-Raphaelite model Jane Burden.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13She grew up in Oxford.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17She came from a very impoverished and ill-educated family,
0:35:17 > 0:35:21so when she met Pre-Raphaelite artists at the age of 17,
0:35:21 > 0:35:25she fell absolutely head over heels, not just with them,
0:35:25 > 0:35:29but with the whole atmosphere of art and culture.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32In the little room by the side,
0:35:32 > 0:35:37there is the first drawing that Rossetti ever did of Jane, aged 17.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41And you can see how he has made probably a very plain lass
0:35:41 > 0:35:44into an absolutely beautiful young woman.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48It was Rossetti who first discovered Jane, but Morris who married her,
0:35:48 > 0:35:50in 1859.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54She was obviously one of those very bright working-class lasses,
0:35:54 > 0:35:57who, when she sees an opportunity, she absolutely seized it.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58Grab it. They don't come twice.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Yes. It was like a Cinderella, it was like Pygmalion...
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Pygmalion!
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Absolutely. It totally changed her life.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Is there a truth in the fact that Eliza Doolittle might loosely
0:36:09 > 0:36:11have been based on Jane, do you think?
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Well, it's quite possible, because Bernard Shaw, who wrote Pygmalion...
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- Yes. He came here, did he? - He knew the Morrises, came here,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20and so he knew the story about how Janey had been
0:36:20 > 0:36:24plucked from obscurity, and she was reinvented as a lady,
0:36:24 > 0:36:26as Mrs William Morris.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30Where real-life differs, however, is in the complicated relationship
0:36:30 > 0:36:33between husband, wife and their friend, Rossetti.
0:36:33 > 0:36:38On the wall here is his first oil portrait of Jane,
0:36:38 > 0:36:42and it says along the top, "Famed for her poet husband,
0:36:42 > 0:36:46"famed for her beauty, and now let her be famed for my painting."
0:36:47 > 0:36:49He was never very modest, Rossetti.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53And he painted and drew that face over and over again
0:36:53 > 0:36:55in different guises. It was his ideal.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57It's a bit wistful, isn't it?
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Rossetti's painting the wife of his friend and making her look
0:37:01 > 0:37:05rather melancholy, and then within a few months,
0:37:05 > 0:37:09you're declaring your love for her? Don't you think he's made her
0:37:09 > 0:37:12look sad because their affections can never blossom?
0:37:12 > 0:37:15When the attachment between the two became obvious,
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Morris and Rossetti acquired Kelmscott in 1871.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Up this wonderful Jacobean staircase...
0:37:21 > 0:37:25But while William took himself to Iceland for the summer,
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Jane and Gabriele furnished the house together.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32So this is the room that Rossetti took for his painting studio,
0:37:32 > 0:37:36and Morris's bedroom is next door,
0:37:36 > 0:37:39and Jane's bedroom is just beyond that.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43It was an arrangement for propriety's sake.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45What an understanding husband.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Yes. He loved the house. It was also a perfect house
0:37:48 > 0:37:52for a hideaway for Jane and Gabriel to be together.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- It's got a walled garden. - No prying eyes.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Very sophisticated crowd.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Was this a lifelong relationship?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Not really. Didn't last all that long. Two or three years,
0:38:02 > 0:38:05and then Rossetti had a breakdown, and he eventually went
0:38:05 > 0:38:08back to London, and then the Morrises took on the house.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Was Jane involved in Morris and Co, in the business?
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Oh, very actively, from the very beginning.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17She actually ran and organised the embroidery side of the business
0:38:17 > 0:38:20and she became an absolutely renowned embroiderer,
0:38:20 > 0:38:23and there are quite a lot of examples of her work still here,
0:38:23 > 0:38:25so she really had quite an active career.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30Rossetti died in 1882, and Morris himself 14 years later,
0:38:30 > 0:38:34but Jane and her daughters kept Kelmscott.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37This iconic house, which features on the cover
0:38:37 > 0:38:40of Morris' News From Nowhere, and is glimpsed in Rossetti's
0:38:40 > 0:38:451871 painting of Jane, remains a finely preserved memorial.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Meanwhile, back in Gloucestershire,
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Tina and Raj are on their way to their final shop.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57And of course, we do have a slight advantage,
0:38:57 > 0:38:59because this is your home patch.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02That's right, yes. We're off to Tetbury,
0:39:02 > 0:39:05and I actually got married in Tetbury ten years ago.
0:39:05 > 0:39:10- Oh, really?- There was one shop where I have bought a lot of antiques
0:39:10 > 0:39:13in the past, so I'm hoping he might be there today,
0:39:13 > 0:39:16and I might be able to use some sort of charm.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Works both ways, mind you.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21A bit like the road to Tetbury.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24That's the church where Tina was wed all right.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- Because you know this place. - I do, that's George's shop.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Definitely not your usual antique shop.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Hello, George. Nice to see you again.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- Nice to see you. How are you? - Great, thank you.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42- Hello, George. Raj. - Nice to meet you.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44What a lovely shop you have here.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49He does. And Tina has £165 left, remember.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Very interior design-y pieces, aren't they?
0:39:51 > 0:39:54I mean, George has obviously got a connection with India.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56And these are quite nice, aren't they?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Yeah, yeah. These are nice, old, painted brackets.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02- Very nice. Oh! And heavy.- Heavy.- Super heavy.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05- Go on.- Pertique brackets.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- Anglo Indian.- £600 for the set.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11They're nice, but you'd want the set, wouldn't you?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13- And 600 is a bit steep. - Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Well, there's plenty more.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17These are lovely old patterns.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- Yeah.- Do you know what these are for?- They were for paint, printing?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Absolutely. You would have a sari, for example,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27they would take that piece, put it into the paint...
0:40:27 > 0:40:29- Yeah.- ..and then decorate the bottom of the sari.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32But that's an interesting one. That's an old roti stone.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34That would've been heated, and you'd make the chapatti,
0:40:34 > 0:40:38slap it on the stone, cook it on the stone, and then ready to go.
0:40:38 > 0:40:39Yummy.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Now, HE looks tasty.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- Oh, Tina, look at this. - Yeah, look at him!
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Isn't that a nice lump?
0:40:47 > 0:40:48It's so heavy!
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Is it? It looks to me like... I think it's pronounced Surya.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- Is it?- That's the sun god.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58- The sun god!- The sun god. - I like that.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- So do I. - That is so different.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03I wonder what price is on it.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- 400?- Do you know? It could be. It could be 250, 200.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09But we've got £165 left.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11- Yeah.- I mean, I'd pay...
0:41:13 > 0:41:15..150?
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- Would you?- I mean, how old it is, I wouldn't like to bet on it,
0:41:18 > 0:41:21- but it does look old to me. - Does it?- Let's ask him. George?
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- Hi, George.- Hi, Tina. - We love the look of that.
0:41:24 > 0:41:30Well, it's a big, brass, bronze Surya, and it's a sun god,
0:41:30 > 0:41:31an interpretation of a sun god.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- Mm.- Obviously they're the creator of the universe.
0:41:34 > 0:41:3719th-20th century.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Not ancient, but a nice old piece.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42But it's very decorative, it's a nice big lump, as they say.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46- Solid. Yeah.- Now the million-dollar question - how much is it?
0:41:46 > 0:41:49220, I've got on it.
0:41:49 > 0:41:50Ah. 220.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54It's a little bit more than we were hoping to pay.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Cut to the chase, what's available?
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Our offer, we've discussed it - would you take £150?
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- Cash.- We have a deal. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08By George, they've got it!
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- So, here we go. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Great. I hope you do well with it.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14I second that.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16- Come on. - I'm coming. This is heavy!
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- Come on! Where did you park the car? - Oh, it's down there. Blimey!
0:42:19 > 0:42:21So, with shopping done,
0:42:21 > 0:42:25let's make an appointment for a full and frank disclosure.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Ooh, I love this bit!
0:42:27 > 0:42:29On the count of one, two, three.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31One, two, three.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- Ah.- Aha!
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Glass is well represented.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36They're very cool, I like that.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- They are cool, aren't they?- Very cool.- They completely took my eye.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Tell me about the glass bowl. Is that...?
0:42:41 > 0:42:42- That looks rather modern.- New.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45It's quite new. Orrefors, Swedish.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- Signed. - Signed. That's why we've bought it.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49Bit Brighton, we thought.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Yeah, it's close to Stockholm, yeah.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Cheeky Raj!
0:42:53 > 0:42:54You'll never guess what that is.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56What is it? It's for vinegar?
0:42:56 > 0:42:57- Oil.- Oil? Oil or vinegar?
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- No.- He's never seen one before.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- And obviously neither have you. - Go on. Take them out of...
0:43:02 > 0:43:06It's Georgian. It's a bird feeder for a bird cage.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08A little lady with a little budgerigar...
0:43:08 > 0:43:10You're right, I have never seen one before.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- Do you like it, though, Raj? - It's a good story.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14What have you got here? What are these?
0:43:14 > 0:43:17- These prints? Three prints of Brighton.- They're Brighton? Ah!
0:43:17 > 0:43:21- So we've got...- Has anyone told you? The auction's been changed!
0:43:21 > 0:43:24- No, has it?- Norwich.- Glasgow.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26You are in trouble!
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- That's very good. - That is very, very good.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Why's no-one talking about HIM, then?
0:43:32 > 0:43:35- Elephant seat. - That's Ashanti tribe, I think.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37It's a refined elephant, with very long, lean...
0:43:37 > 0:43:41It's got beautiful legs. Back legs. I like an elephant with long legs.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44- Right. Is it our turn? - Here we go, hang on a second.- Go on.
0:43:44 > 0:43:48Look at that. There's some stuff going on there!
0:43:48 > 0:43:52- Here we go.- Who is that rather strange fellow in the middle?
0:43:52 > 0:43:55This is the Indian Sun God, Surya.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57- OK.- Yes. Nice.
0:43:57 > 0:43:58It's got some age to it.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01- Yeah.- It's very, very decorative and unusual.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03- Is it heavy?- Very.- It's very heavy.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05Well, it's very lovely, and in the right situation,
0:44:05 > 0:44:07if somebody can carry it out, if somebody is strong enough
0:44:07 > 0:44:10to carry it out, I think it'll do fine!
0:44:10 > 0:44:12And you've got a barbershop quartet...
0:44:12 > 0:44:14We could open a barbershop here, couldn't we?!
0:44:14 > 0:44:16That's what we said, it would go very well!
0:44:16 > 0:44:18That's an Army... 1944... It's all engraved.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20- That's lovely.- A World War II one.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22It's really nice, and I love the lamp.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26- They're very, very trendy at the moment.- Yeah.- And it's original.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- Look at this.- That's lovely.- I know, they're lovely. Now, what are these?
0:44:29 > 0:44:31- Art Nouveau buttons. - Silver buttons.
0:44:31 > 0:44:35- Lovely.- Really, really nice.- Very pretty, aren't they?- Very pretty.
0:44:35 > 0:44:39- And that comes with a copper frame. - That's going to go as one lot.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41Oh, it's one lot?
0:44:41 > 0:44:43And more militaria.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45- Very special. - This is our very special...
0:44:45 > 0:44:47You went for a piece of clothing.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50- Yes.- It's actually the Royal Glosters.- Oh, Gloucester.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53- Nice jacket. Tunic.- They are very trendy, especially in Brighton,
0:44:53 > 0:44:56the youngsters like wearing them when they go out.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58Who told you that?
0:44:58 > 0:45:01She's got a point!
0:45:01 > 0:45:04I feel rally happy having seen yours now.
0:45:04 > 0:45:05What does that mean?!
0:45:05 > 0:45:07No, no, I mean it is now going to be a pleasure.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09It'll be lovely.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12The hard work's done. Come on, we'll see you at the auction.
0:45:12 > 0:45:13We will see you at the auction.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15See you there.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19As they were revealed, I was very impressed, were you?
0:45:19 > 0:45:21- Yeah.- It looked like a great collection.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25I think you've surprise them with your fabulous little bird feeder.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29Their dud buy might be the elephant seat.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31- Any swaps? - I can't say I would, actually.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33- Right answer.- Would you?
0:45:33 > 0:45:36If I could keep any of our objects that would be most useful
0:45:36 > 0:45:38in my house, they would definitely be the barber's kit.
0:45:42 > 0:45:46After getting started in Gloucester, and thoroughly exploring the county,
0:45:46 > 0:45:49our celebrities and experts are now in Brighton.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52Let's just hope it lives up to expectations.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55Love being by the sea.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58- You can smell it, can't you? - You can.
0:45:58 > 0:46:02Unfortunately, the Volvo wasn't at all well this morning,
0:46:02 > 0:46:05so with a sherbet dab taking the strain,
0:46:05 > 0:46:08these two can concentrate on more important matters.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10So who would you say is the most competitive, Sharon?
0:46:10 > 0:46:13Fancy you asking me that question!
0:46:13 > 0:46:16The thing about you, Tina, is you say you're really competitive,
0:46:16 > 0:46:21but what don't know about me is that I am quietly very competitive.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24Actually I think I'm going to win. I really do, because let's face it,
0:46:24 > 0:46:29mine is much more tasteful than yours, let's be honest.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31I'm blaming Raj for that!
0:46:31 > 0:46:33Welcome to Brighton General.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36Sounds a bit like a hospital, so they may well feel at home.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39- How are you? Nice to see you. - Lovely to see you, too.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42There's internet bidding here, too.
0:46:42 > 0:46:46Come on. Let's go and see what's going to happen, then.
0:46:46 > 0:46:49James and Sharon picked up five auction lots,
0:46:49 > 0:46:53and Tina and Raj did exactly the same.
0:46:53 > 0:46:57Now, I wonder what our auctioneer, Andrew Potter, makes of them.
0:46:57 > 0:47:00Is he completely potty about them or not?
0:47:00 > 0:47:05The 1940s hair cream dispenser, that should be the star item today.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08There's lots of barber's shops opening up around the place,
0:47:08 > 0:47:12a lot of interest on the internet on that so I am expecting that to sell
0:47:12 > 0:47:16very well today. The Gloucestershire Regiment jacket, it's a bit
0:47:16 > 0:47:19steam punk-ish, so you can see people around Brighton
0:47:19 > 0:47:22walking around the streets wearing that sort of thing.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25Yeah, I see what you mean. Raj did have a point.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27Very good. Very excited.
0:47:29 > 0:47:33First on parade is Tina and Raj's military barber's kit.
0:47:33 > 0:47:37- Here we go! - This is the one we want to do well.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40I've got interest on this. I can start this at 26, 28.
0:47:42 > 0:47:47£30 now. Looking for 32. I've got £30 with me.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49Is there 32 anywhere?
0:47:49 > 0:47:52All done at £30.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56Started with a profit! Congratulations!
0:47:56 > 0:47:59Good start there, and a tidy reward.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01- Tenner.- Tenner's a tenner.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04That's 50% of what we paid for it, that's not bad.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06No, it's very good.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08- We'll be all right, James.- Yeah.
0:48:08 > 0:48:12Pachyderm profit or trunk junk? It's James's favourite.
0:48:12 > 0:48:13And what did you pay for it, James?
0:48:13 > 0:48:18- £45.- £45, cheap at the price, darling. Cheap at the price.
0:48:18 > 0:48:22I can start on the net at £44.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24Looking for 46 now.
0:48:24 > 0:48:25Oh! Sorry!
0:48:25 > 0:48:28Got 48, got 50.
0:48:28 > 0:48:32- Got 55. - THEY CRY OUT
0:48:32 > 0:48:34Is it going mad in here or what?
0:48:34 > 0:48:37I've got 55 on the net, looking for 60 now.
0:48:37 > 0:48:40I've got 55 on the net. Is there 60 anywhere?
0:48:40 > 0:48:44- Come on!- You can't bid yourself, or you will get into trouble.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47So illegal. Did it!
0:48:47 > 0:48:51- Maughan, you have been warned. - He'll hit me on the head!
0:48:51 > 0:48:53All done at 55...
0:48:53 > 0:48:56- Got 60, 65. I've got 65 on the net. - Oh!
0:48:56 > 0:49:00Oh, dear! Got 65 on the net, looking for 70 now.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03I've got 65. Is there 70 anywhere?

0:49:16 > 0:49:18Well done.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20Well done, James!
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Yeah, nicely spotted.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24What a good start!
0:49:24 > 0:49:26For us.
0:49:26 > 0:49:27It's all right for you.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30We start off slower, and build up.
0:49:30 > 0:49:34Well, let's see if their buttons and frame can do the same.
0:49:34 > 0:49:35You've spent a lot of money on these.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37We did, we spent a lot of money.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40£110. That's good.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42I can start the book at £40.

0:50:09 > 0:50:11Is that a 95 anywhere?
0:50:13 > 0:50:17Would you like 100? 100 in the room. Looking for 110 now.
0:50:17 > 0:50:22- All done at £100.- Aw! That's not bad, though.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25That's very good. I thought it was going to sell for 50.
0:50:25 > 0:50:29Cheeky. This is shaping up to be quite a contest.
0:50:29 > 0:50:32Not bad for a load of rubbish.
0:50:32 > 0:50:33It's not!
0:50:33 > 0:50:35As a team, we do not like making losses.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39Next we have Sharon's Swedish bowl.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41It's not terribly old.
0:50:41 > 0:50:42But very beautiful.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Very Art Deco.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Nice, heavy crystal piece here.

0:51:12 > 0:51:14Sold to the net for £32.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16A profit. Two quid.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19Every little bit helps.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Quite. Nothing to be ashamed of.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23I'm proud. We haven't lost yet.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25No crying in the audience, please.
0:51:27 > 0:51:31Can the Glorious Glosters come to Tina and Raj's assistance?
0:51:31 > 0:51:34I really like this and I think this is where
0:51:34 > 0:51:36- we're going to come marching back. - Do you want to buy it?
0:51:36 > 0:51:38Yes!

0:52:22 > 0:52:24Yes, come on, Raj, chin up.
0:52:24 > 0:52:27She's going to go around saying, "I got an idiot!"
0:52:27 > 0:52:30"That idiot Raj Bisram doesn't know anything!"
0:52:30 > 0:52:35A big test for James next - his Brighton engravings.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38If they don't do well here, they won't do well anywhere.
0:52:38 > 0:52:39I know. To be honest.
0:52:39 > 0:52:43- They have got to do well.- Let's hope you just make a small loss.
0:52:43 > 0:52:48Very nice pieces there, we've got 22, 24 on the net.
0:52:48 > 0:52:5026, looking for 28.
0:52:50 > 0:52:52Keep going, keep going.

0:53:24 > 0:53:26I think they definitely did, Sharon.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29Yes, right, the gloves are off.
0:53:29 > 0:53:32If you gloated, the gloves are off.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34Were you gloating? I don't think you were gloating.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36I couldn't hold my excitement.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39Well, it's your sun god next, Tina.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41Are those two related, by the way?
0:53:41 > 0:53:42Fingers crossed. The sun is shining.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45Actually, it's not, it's cloudy.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48The lady behind me fancies it for her garden.

0:54:19 > 0:54:22- No, don't sell it! - Sorry to gloat!
0:54:23 > 0:54:27It's like Holby City all over again.
0:54:27 > 0:54:28That lamp better come through.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30That dodgy lamp.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32You're in trouble.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34You don't know this woman's wrath.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37Before that we have Sharon's big buy,
0:54:37 > 0:54:40the hair cream dispensers with provenance.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42It's my pride and joy.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44I'm very proud of my dispensers.
0:54:44 > 0:54:46Would you like me to get some tissues?
0:54:46 > 0:54:48No, you cannot touch me.
0:54:48 > 0:54:50I have the faith.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53Keep them, because you will be weeping.

0:55:45 > 0:55:47Thank you.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50Don't let them get to you, Tina.
0:55:50 > 0:55:53- Confidence.- It's an uphill struggle now, Raj.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56It will take one heck of a profit for Raj's lamp to swing it.
0:55:56 > 0:55:58Here we go.
0:55:58 > 0:55:59Here we are.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02That's nice.

0:56:25 > 0:56:27ALL: No!
0:56:27 > 0:56:32- I'm going home. - Head bowed, it seems.
0:56:32 > 0:56:35So sorry. So sorry.
0:56:36 > 0:56:38Hello, James!
0:56:38 > 0:56:40Finally, Sharon's bird feeder.
0:56:40 > 0:56:42Can I say she got it CHEEP?
0:56:42 > 0:56:45You've never seen one before, you've never seen one before...
0:56:45 > 0:56:47I'VE never seen one before.
0:56:47 > 0:56:50I've got £10 with me, looking for 12.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53These usually break, so they are rare.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55I've got 12 at the back of the room.
0:56:55 > 0:56:5914. I've got 12 at the back of the room, is there 14 anywhere?

0:57:03 > 0:57:05- Easy, easy.- No!
0:57:05 > 0:57:08I am very disappointed in this audience.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10Ah, well, a minor blip.
0:57:10 > 0:57:12Some big profits there.
0:57:12 > 0:57:13Highs and lows, isn't it?
0:57:13 > 0:57:17Up and down. Let's find out how it worked out, what do you think?
0:57:17 > 0:57:18Do you have any idea, Raj?
0:57:18 > 0:57:20No.
0:57:20 > 0:57:22- Not really, no.- I think he does.
0:57:22 > 0:57:24OK, let's get down to business.
0:57:26 > 0:57:31Tina and Raj started out with £400 and, after auction costs,
0:57:31 > 0:57:35they made a loss of £129.16.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38So they end up with £270.84.
0:57:39 > 0:57:42Sharon and James, who began with the same sum,
0:57:42 > 0:57:46made a much smaller loss after costs of £17.92.
0:57:46 > 0:57:50So they are our victors, with a final total of 382.08.
0:57:50 > 0:57:53- They've become close.- That was fun.
0:57:53 > 0:57:55That was fun. I'm sorry.
0:57:55 > 0:57:58I feel like I have let you down. But we had fun.
0:57:58 > 0:58:02- It was great fun.- I can't help but be happy.
0:58:02 > 0:58:05- Well done, you. - Thank you, my darling.
0:58:05 > 0:58:07- Thank you.- Are you all right, Raj?
0:58:07 > 0:58:09- I am absolutely fine. - Are you really happy for me?
0:58:09 > 0:58:11Of course I'm happy for you.
0:58:13 > 0:58:15Come on, we've got to wave them off.
0:58:15 > 0:58:16Bye-bye, thank you.
0:58:18 > 0:58:19Let's go and hail a taxi.
0:58:19 > 0:58:21- Taxi!- I don't want to finish.
0:58:21 > 0:58:24I've had such a good time.
0:58:24 > 0:58:27Is this one of the most exhausting jobs you've ever done?
