The nation's favourite celebrities...

0:00:020:00:03

-Oh!

-Just want to touch BASS.

0:00:030:00:04

..paired up with an expert...

0:00:040:00:06

-Boo!

-Oh!

0:00:060:00:08

..and a classic car.

0:00:080:00:09

No hands!

0:00:090:00:10

Their mission? To scour Britain for antiques.

0:00:100:00:13

My office, now!

0:00:130:00:15

The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no easy ride.

0:00:150:00:20

-CAR RUMBLES

-Oh!

0:00:200:00:21

Who will find a hidden gem?

0:00:210:00:22

-HORN HONKS

-I like that.

0:00:220:00:24

Who will take the biggest risk?

0:00:240:00:25

This could end in disaster.

0:00:250:00:27

Will anybody follow expert advice?

0:00:270:00:30

But I love this!

0:00:300:00:31

Why would you buy something you're not going to use?

0:00:310:00:33

There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.

0:00:330:00:35

No, I don't want to shake hands.

0:00:350:00:37

Put your pedal to the metal.

0:00:370:00:39

Let me get out of first gear.

0:00:390:00:40

This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.

0:00:400:00:43

Yeah!

0:00:460:00:47

Today we'll be crossing the Cotswolds, not the Andes,

0:00:530:00:57

with two friends who happen to be very fine actresses.

0:00:570:00:59

How are you feeling in the passenger seat with me?

0:01:000:01:02

-Hanging onto this seat belt, Sharon.

-I know!

0:01:020:01:05

Just acting, I think.

0:01:050:01:07

Yep, it's Sharon Maughan and Tina Hobley. How lovely.

0:01:070:01:10

We're in the country, antique shopping,

0:01:100:01:13

so you're going to be hanging out with antiques other than me today!

0:01:130:01:17

Oh, those two have been long-familiar faces

0:01:170:01:20

on our TV screens, with Tina pulling pints in the Rovers Return,

0:01:200:01:24

and Sharon appearing in commercial breaks.

0:01:240:01:26

I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm having a dinner party,

0:01:260:01:29

and I've run out of coffee.

0:01:290:01:31

I loved those adverts, they were fantastic.

0:01:310:01:33

I really do hope they bring them back one day.

0:01:330:01:36

Me too. They first met when they co-starred in top BBC medical drama

0:01:360:01:40

Holby City, Sharon playing a nurse,

0:01:400:01:43

and Tina as her ward-sister daughter.

0:01:430:01:45

-Mum?

-I really thought you two were finished.

0:01:450:01:49

I ended up having an affair with your husband, I think, didn't I?

0:01:490:01:51

You did. We had a big cat fight, do you remember?

0:01:510:01:54

I quite liked having a cat fight with you.

0:01:540:01:56

You told me that Robert Powell wasn't my father,

0:01:560:01:59

after all those years.

0:01:590:02:00

Yeah, but Robert Powell was never your real father, darling.

0:02:000:02:03

-I know!

-Not in real life!

0:02:030:02:05

TIM LAUGHS

0:02:050:02:07

Sure to be well acquainted with Holby goings-on will be our experts,

0:02:110:02:14

antiqueurs James Braxton and Raj Bisram.

0:02:140:02:18

Raj, you've never trained as a doctor, have you?

0:02:180:02:20

White coat and stethoscope - badge of office, aren't they?

0:02:200:02:23

Well, I think with my medical complaints, I should definitely...

0:02:230:02:27

I'm going to need a nurse with me!

0:02:270:02:29

All with plenty of cream, I hope. At least they know a bit

0:02:290:02:32

about vintage cars, like this 1965 Jag Mark 2.

0:02:320:02:35

When they finished the Mark 1, they said,

0:02:350:02:37

"We want to build another one, and we want to give it more space,

0:02:370:02:42

"more pace, and more grace."

0:02:420:02:44

Or even grace, pace and space.

0:02:440:02:47

It COULD have been that way around!

0:02:470:02:48

Mind you, that 1967 Volvo is pretty sprightly, too,

0:02:480:02:52

which should please car fan Tina.

0:02:520:02:55

I love speed. Speed, speed, speed.

0:02:550:02:57

-Second gear, bingo, I did it.

-This is a little, uh...

0:02:580:03:01

Don't be funny about it!

0:03:010:03:02

-I did it, I'm very happy.

-Well done, Sharon.

0:03:020:03:05

So, with £400 each plus a tiger in their tank,

0:03:050:03:10

let's get them teamed up and on the road.

0:03:100:03:13

-Hello.

-Hello, hello, hello, hello.

-How are you?

0:03:130:03:16

-James.

-Sharon. Lovely to meet you.

-Hello, Sharon.

0:03:160:03:18

-Tina, lovely to meet you.

-Hi, Tina, I'm Raj.

0:03:180:03:21

Meet your competition. Sharon.

0:03:210:03:23

-Hello, Sharon.

-How are you? Good to see you.

0:03:230:03:26

Hello, James. Nice to meet you.

0:03:260:03:27

Hi, James, you're looking at the winners.

0:03:270:03:30

-Oh, come on.

-No, no, no.

0:03:300:03:32

The winners are the first there.

0:03:320:03:34

-Yes, off we go!

-Bye-bye.

0:03:340:03:36

Let's get to the shops!

0:03:360:03:39

Those two don't hang about, do they?

0:03:390:03:42

Today's trip will end up beside the seaside at an auction in Brighton,

0:03:420:03:46

but there's an awful lot of shopping around Gloucestershire before then,

0:03:460:03:49

starting out in the county city.

0:03:490:03:51

What are you like at the haggle?

0:03:550:03:57

-The haggle?

-Is there a bit of Marrakech in you?

0:03:570:04:00

In Marrakech, there is,

0:04:000:04:02

but do you think the English are any good at it?

0:04:020:04:04

-I think we should be.

-I'll haggle today if you want me to haggle.

0:04:040:04:07

-Shall I haggle?

-Yeah, I want you to haggle.

0:04:070:04:09

Sounds like our experts are taking their job very seriously.

0:04:090:04:13

For a collector, or someone who's passionate about antiques,

0:04:130:04:16

buying something that they can live with - that's the beauty.

0:04:160:04:19

Do you think that's what we should do today, then?

0:04:190:04:21

No, no.

0:04:210:04:23

Our first celebrity to dip toe into water is Tina,

0:04:230:04:27

in the port city of Gloucester, down by the docks. Oh, yes.

0:04:270:04:31

-This is good.

-Upstairs, Downstairs.

0:04:310:04:33

-Yeah.

-You go one way, I'll go the other.

0:04:330:04:36

-OK.

-If you see anything you like, give me a shout.

0:04:360:04:38

-I will.

-OK, see you in a second.

0:04:380:04:40

I wonder if Tina's experience in medical drama might pay off.

0:04:400:04:44

I like that one.

0:04:440:04:46

Always tense affairs, aren't they?

0:04:460:04:48

You're the coin man, aren't you?

0:04:480:04:50

-Medals.

-Medals, medals, medals, not coins.

0:04:500:04:52

How's our unflappable consultant getting on?

0:04:540:04:57

I do like that.

0:04:570:04:58

The ticket price is £95.

0:04:580:05:00

I think I'm going to have to call Tina.

0:05:000:05:02

Tina? What poise, eh?

0:05:020:05:04

Oh, I like this. So, it's an antique desk stool.

0:05:040:05:08

Look at that, and it's all attached.

0:05:080:05:10

£40. If I could get it for 20,

0:05:110:05:13

-I'm sure we could sell it for more than that.

-It suits you,

0:05:130:05:16

but you mustn't be buying anything without checking on me price-wise.

0:05:160:05:20

There's a lot of them around,

0:05:200:05:22

and I don't think they're great, great sellers.

0:05:220:05:25

Oh, OK. Fine, well, that's why you're here. We'll leave that.

0:05:250:05:29

Very stern, Raj.

0:05:290:05:31

His lamp's one on the wish list, and now Tina's grabbed dealer Vic.

0:05:310:05:35

A leather jewellery box. That's quite nice.

0:05:350:05:37

-It's pretty.

-It's very pretty, isn't it?

-Mm-hm.

0:05:370:05:40

It's only got a key as well.

0:05:400:05:42

-It gets better - it's 95 quid.

-OK.

-You can have it for 60 quid.

0:05:420:05:46

Really? OK, good.

0:05:460:05:48

-That, I'm sure...

-..Is the right key?

0:05:480:05:51

Yep.

0:05:510:05:52

-I like that.

-You've got a very old London maker lock.

0:05:520:05:56

-And I can have it for 60?

-60 quid will do.

-I like that!

0:05:560:06:00

Thank you. Now, I have to consult my expert, though.

0:06:000:06:03

Yes.

0:06:030:06:04

I'm not sure she wants to.

0:06:040:06:06

What about our other lean antiquing machine?

0:06:060:06:10

Oh, my gosh, we've got a little Cotswold moment.

0:06:100:06:12

Breathe in!

0:06:130:06:15

-Lovely. He's done that before.

-He's obviously used to it, yeah.

0:06:150:06:17

Well, HE has. They seem to be navigating the hills rather nicely.

0:06:170:06:21

Motoring to their first shop in Winchcombe,

0:06:230:06:26

the Cotswold town on the River Isbourne.

0:06:260:06:28

Very nicely parked. Look at that. Aren't we lucky bunnies?

0:06:280:06:32

Yeah, it's a popular place all right.

0:06:320:06:35

First antique shop. Isn't this exciting?

0:06:350:06:37

Winchcombe Antiques. I am quite excited, actually.

0:06:370:06:39

-It's all about fate.

-Yes.

-Something will find us.

0:06:390:06:43

Well, let's first find the proprietor.

0:06:430:06:45

-Here's our man.

-Hello there.

0:06:450:06:47

-Hello.

-Richard.

-I'm Sharon, lovely to meet you, Richard.

0:06:470:06:49

-Hello. James.

-Hello, James.

-Good to meet you.

0:06:490:06:51

Oh, that's very nice, I like to be surrounded by rosewood.

0:06:510:06:54

Yes, I like to be surrounded by men!

0:06:540:06:56

And I am.

0:06:580:06:59

Yeah, that's true. Now, antiques.

0:06:590:07:02

There's definitely enough here, I'd say.

0:07:020:07:04

Oh, I love a box.

0:07:040:07:06

Look at this gorgeous oak stationery box.

0:07:060:07:09

Let's open it up and see what's inside.

0:07:090:07:11

Look how lovely that is!

0:07:110:07:13

All your filing, all your envelopes, all your letter-headed paper,

0:07:130:07:16

your ink, your inkwells, this is for your pens.

0:07:160:07:18

When I was at school, you had to write with pen and ink,

0:07:180:07:21

you couldn't write with biros, as they called it,

0:07:210:07:23

but I don't know if there is a market for it.

0:07:230:07:24

I have to keep reminding myself, not just what I like,

0:07:240:07:27

but how I can make money.

0:07:270:07:29

Ticket price, £78.

0:07:290:07:31

I absolutely love this.

0:07:310:07:33

It's described as a Victorian cylinder cupboard.

0:07:330:07:37

I don't know what the Victorians did with a cylinder cupboard,

0:07:380:07:41

-but what

-I

-would do with this, this is very Soho House.

0:07:410:07:43

That's a miniature drinks cupboard, isn't it?

0:07:430:07:46

It's so cool, and a beautiful decanter on top, perhaps.

0:07:460:07:49

But it's expensive, it's, er... £225!

0:07:490:07:54

Sharon's already up to speed. What's James got there?

0:07:550:07:59

Three early coloured engravings of Brighton scenes.

0:07:590:08:04

This first one here is known as Kings Road, Brighton,

0:08:040:08:07

but rather fun - on the beach, they've got the fish market,

0:08:070:08:11

and Brighton fish market used to be on the shingle,

0:08:110:08:14

and then we've got another one here. This is the Chain Pier.

0:08:140:08:18

This was built by a chap called Captain Samuel Brown, who built

0:08:180:08:22

early suspension bridges, and this predates Clifton Suspension Bridge.

0:08:220:08:26

And then this is the other one here, we've got here the

0:08:260:08:30

Victorian fountain, erected in 1846.

0:08:300:08:35

So it must be post-1846.

0:08:350:08:37

They're nice, they're rosewood. They have gilt slips, original frames.

0:08:370:08:41

What have we got? We've got £118.

0:08:410:08:43

Brighton scenes. We're selling in Brighton.

0:08:430:08:46

I think that has our name on them.

0:08:460:08:49

Could be a canny find.

0:08:490:08:51

Sewing machine.

0:08:510:08:52

I used to make all my own clothes when I was a young girl.

0:08:520:08:55

It was the only way I could get the clothes I wanted to buy

0:08:550:08:57

in the slums of Liverpool.

0:08:570:08:59

So I had a hand sewing machine, rather like that one.

0:08:590:09:02

Mine was a Singer. The thing is,

0:09:020:09:03

I don't know what is basically second-hand, and what is antique.

0:09:030:09:09

That is a very good question.

0:09:100:09:12

Over in Gloucester, things have taken a military turn.

0:09:120:09:16

This looks rather interesting.

0:09:160:09:17

It looks like an army kit, isn't it?

0:09:170:09:19

So, 1944, it says.

0:09:190:09:21

How wonderful. It's a grooming kit, isn't it?

0:09:210:09:25

And it's got the paperwork to go with it. Look!

0:09:250:09:28

Oh, I like this. And we're going to be selling in Brighton,

0:09:280:09:32

and I think this is quite trendy.

0:09:320:09:35

Ticket price, £55, though.

0:09:350:09:37

So, the whole kit is there, it's complete.

0:09:370:09:40

The brushes, the trimmers, the combs, and the scissors.

0:09:400:09:45

Well, let's see what Raj makes of it.

0:09:450:09:47

-If you could get him down to, say, 20...

-Yes?

0:09:470:09:49

..then I think that would be quite saleable.

0:09:490:09:52

-Do you?

-Yeah.

-Right, let's go and see if I can do a deal, then.

0:09:520:09:55

-Shall we leave it for the moment?

-All right.

0:09:550:09:57

Before we do a deal - and I know you want to do a deal -

0:09:570:09:59

-can I show you something?

-Yes, of course.

0:09:590:10:01

OK, I've got a couple of things. Come this way.

0:10:010:10:03

Raj's list includes a tunic, like the one Tina admired earlier,

0:10:030:10:08

and that lamp.

0:10:080:10:09

What do you think?

0:10:090:10:10

Well, I think I've thrown something away like that, maybe last week!

0:10:100:10:15

What a reaction!

0:10:150:10:16

The Anglepoise lamp was invented in the early 1930s, and this one is by

0:10:160:10:19

Terry & Sons, who soon began manufacturing it under licence.

0:10:190:10:24

This kind of stuff is really in vogue at the moment.

0:10:240:10:27

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-And this at auction could make £70 to £100,

0:10:270:10:31

no problem at all. Now, there's £95 on the ticket, but again,

0:10:310:10:35

if we could get this at £50, snap it off their hands.

0:10:350:10:39

-Absolutely, this would be a good deal.

-Would it?

0:10:390:10:42

-And the other thing I found...

-I love this.

-Do you?

-Yes!

0:10:420:10:45

-Well, I love it, too.

-Yes!

0:10:450:10:46

It's a tunic of the glorious Glosters Regiment.

0:10:460:10:49

Ticket price, £120.

0:10:490:10:51

I'm going to give you a challenge, OK?

0:10:510:10:53

I want you to go in there and get these three items, OK,

0:10:530:10:57

-for £100.

-Crikey, Raj!

0:10:570:11:00

-Let's see what we can do.

-Absolutely.

0:11:000:11:02

Now, is Vic there? Vic!

0:11:020:11:03

Oh, yes, and Rob.

0:11:030:11:05

Hi, guys. Rob.

0:11:050:11:07

-And Vic.

-And Vic.

0:11:070:11:08

OK. I'm very excited about the couple of items we've found.

0:11:080:11:12

So, the jacket, the beautiful Gloster...

0:11:120:11:14

Gloster Regiment bandsman's jacket.

0:11:140:11:16

Yes, we love it, but what's the best price you could do for me?

0:11:160:11:19

-We could probably come down to 60.

-£60, thank you.

0:11:190:11:22

Now, we love the lamp.

0:11:220:11:24

-Yes.

-It's an industrial lamp, it's very on trend at the moment.

0:11:240:11:27

-It is.

-We could do a lot with that, but what's the best price on that?

0:11:270:11:31

We'll take 50 quid for this.

0:11:310:11:33

Thank you very much. Now, just one little thing that caught my eye.

0:11:330:11:37

It's the army barber's kit.

0:11:370:11:39

I think 20 would be great for me on that.

0:11:390:11:42

OK, then, we'll call it 25.

0:11:420:11:44

25, so what are we up to, Raj?

0:11:440:11:46

60, 50, that's 110, and 25, so 135.

0:11:460:11:52

If you can get another fiver off that and a fiver off the jacket,

0:11:520:11:54

I think, for the sake of a tenner, we're at 125,

0:11:540:11:57

I think that's a fair deal, see what they can do.

0:11:570:11:59

What do you think, gentlemen?

0:11:590:12:01

You know you said I had a nice smile?

0:12:010:12:03

Say it again! How about giving me it for 20, the barber's kit?

0:12:050:12:09

-We can do that.

-I'll take it away.

0:12:090:12:11

-Really?

-We can do that.

-Thank you.

0:12:110:12:13

Can I make it 55 on the jacket?

0:12:130:12:15

And I'll tell you, we're going to win this.

0:12:150:12:17

I reckon you'll win anyway, because you got the best regiment

0:12:170:12:20

-in the British Army.

-Ah!

-You can even try the hat on, if you like.

0:12:200:12:24

Oh! Oh, I love it, I love it all.

0:12:240:12:27

-Does it suit me, Sir?

-It definitely suits you.

-Those eyes.

0:12:270:12:30

It definitely suits you! It definitely suits you.

0:12:300:12:33

Do you think you could come down another fiver for me?

0:12:330:12:36

-I could probably do that for you.

-Gentlemen, you are fantastic.

-Oh!

0:12:360:12:38

-Shake their hands.

-Delighted. Thank you.

0:12:380:12:41

Good doing business with you.

0:12:410:12:42

That was quite a big deal!

0:12:440:12:45

-And one Lady Godiva.

-Look at that, thank you.

0:12:450:12:48

Thank you very much.

0:12:480:12:49

Now, while those two stick the swag in the Jag...

0:12:490:12:52

So pleased with what we've got.

0:12:520:12:54

-Brilliant things.

-Yes!

-I mean, you did really well.

0:12:540:12:56

..where are we in Winchcombe?

0:12:580:13:00

Georgian, bird feeder.

0:13:000:13:03

Oh, it's for in a bird cage.

0:13:030:13:06

A little tiny bird feeder for in a bird cage,

0:13:060:13:08

when everyone had a little budgerigar.

0:13:080:13:10

I've never seen that before. Isn't that sweet?

0:13:100:13:12

Very cheap, it's £15, for anybody who has a budgie.

0:13:120:13:17

Cor, she's good. Time for a bit of show and tell, I reckon.

0:13:170:13:20

I spotted these pictures, and the dear old humble engraving,

0:13:200:13:25

and the first one is the Steine in Brighton.

0:13:250:13:28

-Oh, my goodness.

-I love this one - this is the front at Brighton,

0:13:280:13:32

and then you've got bathing machines. Rather fun.

0:13:320:13:35

Bathing machine?

0:13:350:13:37

-Yeah, to preserve your modesty.

-Oh, yes.

-So you undressed in there,

0:13:370:13:42

and then the machine was taken into the water, and then you jumped out.

0:13:420:13:46

-Oh, wow.

-So, you've got these three things here,

0:13:460:13:48

nicely framed in rosewood. They're a bit yesteryear.

0:13:480:13:52

So what do we think about them being a bit yesteryear?

0:13:520:13:54

Well, it's going to Brighton.

0:13:540:13:56

There will be some people harking back to the past, won't there?

0:13:560:14:00

You don't think it's a bit coal to Newcastle?

0:14:000:14:02

No, because actually I don't think they have much relevance up here,

0:14:020:14:05

I think they have more relevance in Brighton, don't they?

0:14:050:14:07

-Yeah, they do. Yeah, yeah.

-Have you found anything?

0:14:070:14:09

You bet she has.

0:14:090:14:11

Oh, isn't that lovely?

0:14:110:14:13

So, a stationery... All your envelopes.

0:14:130:14:16

All your envelopes, your letter-headed paper, your ink.

0:14:160:14:18

Look at this beautiful little inkwell, and your pens here.

0:14:180:14:21

And the lid - does it open?

0:14:210:14:24

-I didn't know it had the lid!

-And then THIS may open.

0:14:240:14:26

-Does that open?

-Oh, no, I didn't have the courage you had.

0:14:260:14:29

-Secret drawer. How much have they got on it?

-70 something.

0:14:290:14:32

That sounds a bit cheap. I think that's good value.

0:14:320:14:35

-You're very good, Sharon.

-This extraordinary little thing here.

0:14:350:14:38

-Cylindrical washstand.

-Cylinder cupboard.

-It was a cylinder washtub?

0:14:380:14:42

-A washstand, yeah.

-A washstand, that's what it was.

0:14:420:14:46

-Washstand. But that's why it was marble.

-Ah.

0:14:460:14:48

So you would have had your wash basin there,

0:14:480:14:50

and then you could have poured it on, and you would wash.

0:14:500:14:53

It's quite a plain one, because this is made of pine.

0:14:530:14:57

-Do you like that?

-I like cylindrical things, because it has novelty.

0:14:570:15:01

It's different.

0:15:010:15:02

Bend ze knees, and off to see Richard.

0:15:020:15:05

We need to get these things as cheaply as we can.

0:15:050:15:07

Is there a deal to be done?

0:15:070:15:09

What's the lowest you could do on that?

0:15:090:15:11

Yeah, well, that, I haven't got much room for manoeuvre.

0:15:120:15:15

-So it's 78 at present. And the best...

-55?

0:15:150:15:18

..literally just 70 I can do.

0:15:180:15:20

Now, the ticket price on this was £225, remember.

0:15:200:15:24

This very expensive, very expensive drinks cabinet.

0:15:240:15:28

What's your best price on this?

0:15:280:15:30

I'd probably have to give the chap a call.

0:15:300:15:32

-What's it got on it?

-A lot of money.

0:15:320:15:33

-It's got a lot of money. It's pine.

-The best I can do is 200

0:15:330:15:36

without speaking to him, so I would need to give him a shout.

0:15:360:15:38

-Could you give him a shout?

-Yeah, no worries.

0:15:380:15:41

No, but really, he'd need to literally know

0:15:410:15:43

-it would need to be half that.

-I'll try.

0:15:430:15:45

What about these mid-19th-century pictures?

0:15:450:15:48

Well, they are Brighton, aren't they?

0:15:480:15:50

So that's ideal for you, but the best I can do on that is 90.

0:15:500:15:52

-90?

-Yeah, £30 apiece.

0:15:520:15:54

Doesn't sound too bad, but while Richard gets on the phone,

0:15:540:15:58

Sharon has one more little suggestion.

0:15:580:16:00

-Do you know what that is?

-I don't know what that is.

0:16:000:16:02

This is a Georgian bird feeder.

0:16:020:16:07

-I love it.

-For a cage, for the bird cage,

0:16:070:16:09

for your little beloved budgie.

0:16:090:16:11

-Isn't that lovely?

-Isn't it lovely, and you know what?

0:16:110:16:13

It's Georgian. I've never seen anything like it before.

0:16:130:16:16

-Nor have I.

-Do you like it?

-I REALLY like it.

-Oh, I'm so excited.

0:16:160:16:19

-Really like it.

-I found it!

0:16:190:16:21

But with the other dealer out of reach, let's focus here.

0:16:210:16:25

-So, definitely having that.

-Good.

0:16:250:16:28

I think it's a choice between that or that.

0:16:280:16:31

Well, obviously, in Brighton...

0:16:310:16:33

I think we should take a punt.

0:16:330:16:35

We've got two proper antiques.

0:16:350:16:37

-You like that, don't you?

-I love it.

-So happy about that.

-Very clever.

0:16:370:16:40

I'm with an expert!

0:16:410:16:43

I learn fast.

0:16:440:16:45

Come on, you learn very fast.

0:16:450:16:47

-We're going to have those two, Richard.

-No problem at all.

0:16:470:16:50

Nicely done. One each. £105 to pay.

0:16:500:16:54

That's it, Sharon, milk it!

0:16:540:16:55

..80, 90, 100.

0:16:550:16:57

I believe you might owe me a £5 note.

0:16:570:17:00

Oh, she's such a performer, as is her friend and rival.

0:17:000:17:04

I have known Sharon for about 12 years.

0:17:050:17:09

She came on Holby to play my mother, and whenever I can get that in,

0:17:090:17:15

particularly on television...

0:17:150:17:16

Crikey, no wonder that fight was so convincing.

0:17:160:17:19

And then we became dearest, dearest friends.

0:17:190:17:21

If I took one thing away from Holby, it was meeting Sharon.

0:17:210:17:25

These days, Tina has yet another string to her bow - radio.

0:17:250:17:29

I don't know how I got into this world, but I do a weekday show,

0:17:290:17:34

drive-time show, so it's Monday to Friday, and then I do a Sunday show,

0:17:340:17:37

which I've been doing for the last three years.

0:17:370:17:40

And I absolutely love it.

0:17:400:17:42

What do you think would be the ideal music for us to be playing?

0:17:420:17:45

Oh, now, what would I play to go with this beauty?

0:17:450:17:49

I think she deserves a bit of Nina Simone.

0:17:490:17:52

-Would you like to hear that?

-Yeah.

-She's very smooth.

0:17:520:17:55

-You're very smooth!

-Oh!

0:17:550:17:57

There's another reason Tina is a hit on drive-time -

0:17:580:18:01

she's also a keen motor-racing fan, with a licence,

0:18:010:18:05

which explains why they're currently heading deep into the Cotswolds

0:18:050:18:09

towards Prescott Hill, to learn about one of the very oldest forms

0:18:090:18:13

of motorsport - speed hill climbing.

0:18:130:18:16

This course, a throwback to the more rudimentary early days,

0:18:160:18:19

is basically the drive to an old manor house,

0:18:190:18:22

as well as being the home of the Bugatti Owners Club. Lovely!

0:18:220:18:27

Oh, Stuart, look at that!

0:18:270:18:30

Yeah, we're very lucky to have this car.

0:18:300:18:32

Stuart Webster is the general manager.

0:18:320:18:34

So, are Bugattis from the '20s and '30s,

0:18:340:18:37

are they actually raced here still today?

0:18:370:18:39

Yes, we're the Bugatti Owners Club, and we like to show very much

0:18:390:18:42

the history of the car, so, yes, we still have cars which were born

0:18:420:18:46

90 years ago which are still raced here today.

0:18:460:18:48

Do you have the own a Bugatti to be a member of the club?

0:18:480:18:51

Absolutely not. We have 2,200 members today, and of our members,

0:18:510:18:54

there's about 200 of them that own a Bugatti, but then we have the person

0:18:540:18:58

who likes to come to Prescott to watch the motor racing as well.

0:18:580:19:01

Racing at Prescott Hill goes back almost 80 years,

0:19:020:19:05

although the sport itself is even older, dating from time around

0:19:050:19:09

the turn-of-the-century, when racers were first encouraged

0:19:090:19:13

to keep off public roads. It's a short and very fast time trial.

0:19:130:19:18

Circuit racing, the start point and finish point are exactly the

0:19:180:19:21

same place. On a hill climb, you go from one point, and you finish

0:19:210:19:23

at a completely different point, and that was part of the challenge,

0:19:230:19:27

I guess - taking something which looked like an easy thing to do,

0:19:270:19:30

but turns into something which is really quite technical,

0:19:300:19:33

-and quite difficult to do.

-How long is the actual course itself?

0:19:330:19:36

It's 1,127 yards, and of course as we're old, we don't work in metres,

0:19:360:19:41

we work in yards, so 1,127 yards.

0:19:410:19:43

All right, easy on the "old"!

0:19:430:19:45

I think he was referring to me, not you!

0:19:450:19:47

Without doubt!

0:19:470:19:48

So, the course record is 35.51 seconds. 1,127 yards, two hairpins,

0:19:480:19:54

and a near hairpin at the finish line as well,

0:19:540:19:57

which I think will catch your breath when you go round it,

0:19:570:20:00

because it looks like you're going off the end of the world.

0:20:000:20:03

I can't wait! When can we get going?

0:20:030:20:05

How about right now?

0:20:050:20:06

With youthful Bugatti driver Piers at the wheel.

0:20:060:20:09

So, what do you want me to do?

0:20:090:20:11

If you pump that lever,

0:20:110:20:13

it will pump air into the fuel tank which will force fuel through to the

0:20:130:20:16

carburettor, so you want to pump away as hard as you possibly can.

0:20:160:20:19

-That'll be absolutely fine.

-Yeah.

0:20:200:20:22

We'll switch the Magneto on, and press the starter.

0:20:220:20:25

Right, let's go for it.

0:20:280:20:30

Stirling Moss competed in his very first trial here in 1948.

0:20:300:20:35

He came fourth.

0:20:370:20:39

It's quite a tricky car to drive, because it's a clutch gearbox,

0:20:390:20:42

which means you have to match your revs to your road speed,

0:20:420:20:46

so if I change gear, and you get a slight crunch,

0:20:460:20:50

it means you haven't quite got it absolutely right.

0:20:500:20:53

That was a good one.

0:20:550:20:56

You can see how some of the greats honed their skills up here. CRUNCH

0:20:560:21:00

-I think it's the best noise in the world.

-It is.

0:21:000:21:04

Every time it starts, it really does get the blood flowing.

0:21:040:21:09

This 37A Bugatti is one of only three left in the world.

0:21:090:21:13

82 years old, and it's still as good as the day it ever left the factory,

0:21:150:21:19

so they certainly made them to last.

0:21:190:21:21

Right. Now, what does Murray Walker say whenever they cross the line?

0:21:210:21:26

Woo!

0:21:260:21:27

But while Tina has being chasing that course record,

0:21:290:21:33

our other pair have been urging the Volvo to new heights.

0:21:330:21:37

-Birdlip Hill is one of the steepest hills.

-You're joking?

0:21:370:21:41

Relax! You're heading the other way, taking our route down to the

0:21:410:21:44

valleys of Stroud, and another chance to strike a shopping blow.

0:21:440:21:48

Is Tina very competitive, Sharon?

0:21:480:21:50

Oh, she's so competitive!

0:21:500:21:52

She will want to win.

0:21:520:21:53

-Do you think we'll win?

-Of course we'll win!

0:21:530:21:55

Is the right answer.

0:21:570:21:58

Malt House! Yay!

0:21:580:22:00

There used to be a brewery here.

0:22:000:22:03

Now an antiques centre with over 100 dealers, but it's getting late.

0:22:030:22:07

There's a lovely guitar here, rock star-owned electric guitar.

0:22:080:22:12

I have been expecting you, Mr Bond.

0:22:140:22:17

Sharon seems the more urgent, I think.

0:22:180:22:21

I think they're the coolest, beautiful Art Deco shape,

0:22:210:22:25

and if they can work, what cool soap dispensers they would be,

0:22:250:22:29

-and body cream in the bathroom.

-But on the other hand,

0:22:290:22:32

I think barber shops are having a real renaissance, aren't they?

0:22:320:22:35

But that would mean a barber would have to buy them.

0:22:350:22:37

-I don't see why not.

-And it's still in there.

0:22:370:22:40

Look at that. This is completely what you would call authentic.

0:22:400:22:43

It looks too good to be true, doesn't it?

0:22:430:22:45

What is on the price tag?

0:22:450:22:47

The price tag says £145, which is a lot of money from a barber's shop,

0:22:470:22:51

circa 1940.

0:22:510:22:53

Great item, aren't they? And the fact that it works.

0:22:540:22:56

Look at that, look at the resistance.

0:22:560:22:58

-Very nice action!

-Oh, let's have a word, then.

0:22:580:23:01

-Hello, James.

-Mark.

-Mark, hello.

-Hello, Mark, Sharon.

0:23:010:23:03

-Pleased to meet you.

-Nice to meet you, too.

0:23:030:23:05

Very good. We like these.

0:23:050:23:07

They're a lovely, unique pair.

0:23:070:23:10

The only thing we hate about them is the price.

0:23:100:23:12

Well, there's a little movement within there.

0:23:120:23:15

-How little is a little?

-I can give you 10% off the price.

0:23:150:23:19

14 quid.

0:23:190:23:20

That's not immediately attractive, Mark.

0:23:200:23:23

Would it be worth ringing the trader?

0:23:230:23:25

Do you think he might do 100? I would peel off 100 if you...

0:23:250:23:30

Do you want to see if he would allow us to peel off 100?

0:23:300:23:32

Yeah, I can try. You'll have to give me a few moments.

0:23:320:23:35

They do seem rather set on those, whatever the outcome of the call.

0:23:350:23:38

I've spoken with the dealer, and the best price is 120.

0:23:380:23:42

Do you think he might go nearer the 100?

0:23:420:23:44

-I don't think he will, no.

-You don't?

0:23:440:23:46

I also know they were in one barber shop,

0:23:460:23:48

-and that's in the Forest of Dean, all their life.

-Really?

0:23:480:23:52

Yeah, they obviously had clientele that still use Brylcreem.

0:23:520:23:55

-Yes.

-You don't, do you?

0:23:560:23:58

I haven't got any hair!

0:23:580:23:59

-Fair enough.

-What's the word for when you get the whole history

0:24:010:24:03

-of a piece of art?

-The provenance.

-The provenance.

0:24:030:24:07

Maybe that would enrich the sale.

0:24:070:24:09

It would. And I think Brighton is a good place for it.

0:24:090:24:11

-Shall we do it?

-I would shake the man's hand.

0:24:110:24:14

That's a knuckle duster. I don't know...

0:24:140:24:16

Blimey O'Reilly, watch out!

0:24:160:24:18

So, what are you going to do with these?

0:24:180:24:20

-Is this a hand to shake, or...?

-It IS a hand to shake!

0:24:200:24:22

So, with £120 dispensed,

0:24:230:24:27

it's time for our couples to head for the hills.

0:24:270:24:31

Chug-a-chug-a-chug. We're getting there. Push, push!

0:24:310:24:33

Nighty night, then.

0:24:350:24:36

Next day, the local former's looking a lot more familiar.

0:24:400:24:44

-Pigs!

-Pigs!

-Look at them.

0:24:440:24:46

It's a Gloucester old spot!

0:24:460:24:47

And a donkey. It's the biggest Gloucester old spot I've ever seen.

0:24:470:24:51

Yesterday, Tina managed to bag a military barber's kit,

0:24:510:24:55

a balanced arm lamp, and a Gloucestershire Regiment tunic.

0:24:550:25:00

-You got the best regiment in the British Army.

-Ah!

0:25:000:25:04

So, she still has £275 for today's buys,

0:25:040:25:08

whilst Sharon picked up two hair cream dispensers,

0:25:080:25:11

three Brighton engravings, and a Georgian bird feeder.

0:25:110:25:14

-I really like that.

-Oh, I'm so excited!

-Really like that.

0:25:140:25:17

I found it!

0:25:170:25:18

I should tweet it(!)

0:25:180:25:20

Leaving 175 for whatever she might wish yet to acquire.

0:25:200:25:23

How was your bargaining skills?

0:25:230:25:25

Terrible. Terrible.

0:25:250:25:27

Mine were fabulous.

0:25:270:25:28

So you've got loads and loads and loads of money left.

0:25:280:25:31

Not telling you.

0:25:310:25:32

What's the expert opinion, then?

0:25:340:25:36

Lovely Sharon's got a good eye for design.

0:25:360:25:39

She found two fabulous things yesterday.

0:25:390:25:42

-Tina, too.

-Really?

-And as far as the haggling goes,

0:25:420:25:45

-boy, oh, boy.

-Mustard, is she?

0:25:450:25:48

Which begs the question - do we need these two?

0:25:480:25:51

With your good eye and my amazing bargaining skills,

0:25:510:25:56

we've got a whole new career ahead of us.

0:25:560:25:59

Whole new career! You and me on the road, Thelma and Louise.

0:25:590:26:02

I'd be Susan Sarandon. You'd be Geena Davis.

0:26:020:26:04

Whichever was the one that had sex with Brad Pitt.

0:26:040:26:07

I say!

0:26:070:26:08

Well, that's all sorted, then. First...

0:26:080:26:10

-Here we go.

-Here they are. They're very race-y, aren't they?

0:26:100:26:13

Look at these ladies!

0:26:130:26:14

Race you, quick! It's all about speed.

0:26:140:26:17

-Is it?

-Stay in the car!

0:26:170:26:18

-Morning. Stay in the car? OK.

-It's all about speed.

-I'm staying!

0:26:180:26:21

-Thank you.

-Good morning to you.

-Good morning.

0:26:210:26:22

-While they're chatting, let's go.

-Let's get on the road.

0:26:220:26:25

-Let's go, let's go.

-Quick, quick, first to the shop.

-Indeed!

0:26:250:26:28

Later, they'll be haring off to an auction in Brighton, but today's

0:26:350:26:38

first whistle-stop is in the Gloucestershire town of Cirencester.

0:26:380:26:43

Bit of a shared shop. Sounds friendly enough, doesn't it?

0:26:460:26:49

I'm over the moon, I'm very confident,

0:26:490:26:51

-I love the things we bought.

-You know what I need, don't you?

0:26:510:26:53

-I need to win.

-I know you need to win!

0:26:530:26:56

Oh, yeah. There's no second-place here, Raj.

0:26:560:26:59

Crikey. What about the others?

0:26:590:27:00

-Let's do haggling today.

-Haggling.

0:27:000:27:03

The whole of North Africa will be weeping at our lack of haggling.

0:27:030:27:07

The whole of Liverpool will be weeping at mine, because I'm

0:27:070:27:10

from the mentality of everything comes off the back of a lorry.

0:27:100:27:12

Well, they've been buying and selling in this market town

0:27:120:27:15

since Roman times, so I'm sure our lot can be accommodated.

0:27:150:27:19

-Look at...

-Is this it?

-Yes.

-Good.

0:27:190:27:22

But who got there first?

0:27:220:27:24

-It's just through here...

-Oh, I recognise those voices.

0:27:240:27:27

-Don't tell them, quick!

-Oh, dear!

0:27:270:27:28

-Avoiding you.

-Have you found something?

0:27:280:27:30

-Have you found anything yet?

-Of course we have.

0:27:300:27:32

-OK.

-On the way now.

-Many choices.

0:27:320:27:34

-We're off.

-Bye, then.

0:27:340:27:36

Was there enough bluster on show there, do you think?

0:27:360:27:39

West German vases.

0:27:390:27:41

They're very good, aren't they? Nice colours.

0:27:410:27:43

Very unusual, a vase with a handle.

0:27:430:27:45

-It is.

-Have you seen that before?

0:27:450:27:47

Vase with a handle might also be known

0:27:470:27:49

-as a jug.

-A jug!

0:27:490:27:51

Ha! Brackers knows his stuff.

0:27:510:27:52

Quality wooden box with silver cartouche.

0:27:520:27:56

-1937.

-That's actually a really lovely present,

0:27:560:27:59

-because if you want it engraved...

-It is, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:27:590:28:01

Cigarette box. But it's just all ready to go, isn't it?

0:28:010:28:04

-Ready to go, yeah.

-That could be bought for 15 quid.

0:28:040:28:07

That might be a fellow, mightn't it?

0:28:070:28:09

That smells like a gentleman from Piccadilly, doesn't it?

0:28:100:28:13

How do YOU know?

0:28:130:28:15

How is our other couple?

0:28:150:28:17

-Aha, Tina.

-Have you found something?

-I know you like glass...

-Yes.

0:28:170:28:20

..so I've got a little question for you. Here's a little tester, OK?

0:28:200:28:22

-Right.

-What does it remind you of?

0:28:220:28:25

A scarf.

0:28:260:28:28

Very good. It's actually a handkerchief vase.

0:28:280:28:30

-Handkerchief.

-And in the 1920s, 1930s,

0:28:300:28:33

these were made, and they're called...

0:28:330:28:35

-Oh, there we go.

-Large...

0:28:350:28:37

-Handkerchief vase.

-..handkerchief vase.

0:28:370:28:38

-It's a handkerchief vase, yeah.

-Oh, wow.

0:28:380:28:40

And they did them in all different colours.

0:28:400:28:42

-It's not the value of it...

-No?

-..it's just the unusual shape.

0:28:420:28:45

I mean, that at £28? Nothing, is it?

0:28:450:28:48

Not to be sniffed at, but Tina's thinking big.

0:28:480:28:51

I've got £275 in my back pocket.

0:28:510:28:53

I'm desperate to spend it.

0:28:530:28:55

I've just got to make sure it's the right object.

0:28:550:28:58

Quite. Meanwhile...

0:28:580:29:00

That is an Ashanti stool.

0:29:000:29:04

So the Ashanti tribe used to carve these stools.

0:29:040:29:07

It's a very... That sort of shape.

0:29:070:29:10

The Ashanti come from central Ghana.

0:29:100:29:12

-Oh, yes. It's lovely, isn't it?

-It is sweet, isn't it?

0:29:120:29:15

Quite stylised. It's quite an elegant elephant.

0:29:150:29:18

It's very good, you've got extended legs...

0:29:180:29:21

-Very lean and long, yeah.

-Sort of model-y legs.

0:29:210:29:23

-Yeah, yeah.

-That, at £50, would be good.

0:29:230:29:27

We can make a profit on that.

0:29:270:29:29

Currently almost twice that, however.

0:29:290:29:31

Ooh!

0:29:310:29:32

Steady!

0:29:320:29:34

Nothing to see here.

0:29:340:29:36

I think the price of that might be going up!

0:29:360:29:38

Now, what's in here?

0:29:380:29:40

Ah. That's quite nice.

0:29:400:29:42

Yeah, that's not bad, not bad.

0:29:420:29:44

That frame is Art Nouveau. Art Nouveau is really in at the moment.

0:29:440:29:49

Yes, yeah.

0:29:490:29:50

Ticket price is £78.

0:29:500:29:52

-I think that's lovely.

-So do I.

0:29:520:29:53

Maybe we should hide it and we'll come back to it later,

0:29:530:29:56

-what do you think?

-Oh, OK.

0:29:560:29:57

I don't want them to see it, so I really want to hide it.

0:29:570:30:00

-I like it. That lovely mirror.

-Let's put that up there, on top.

0:30:000:30:03

I wonder if they've got a blanket we could throw over it as well.

0:30:030:30:06

No. I think that's enough.

0:30:060:30:08

Sneaky tactics, I like it.

0:30:080:30:10

-James?

-Yep?

-What do you think of this bowl?

0:30:100:30:13

You're drawn to these deco shapes, aren't you?

0:30:130:30:15

-Well, it's chic, isn't it?

-It's very chic.

-It's very chic, very clean.

0:30:150:30:18

Ah, Orrefors. Sweden.

0:30:180:30:22

Orrefors Sweden? Is that...?

0:30:220:30:23

Yeah, they're a big sort of very smart design house, of glass.

0:30:230:30:27

-But is it modern, then?

-I think it's quite modern.

0:30:270:30:31

Still got quite a modern label.

0:30:310:30:33

But it's a luxury good.

0:30:330:30:35

To make glass, you have to melt sand to 1,600 degrees centigrade.

0:30:350:30:39

Through my hand there, I can see where it's signed.

0:30:390:30:42

-Look.

-Yep, it's signed.

0:30:420:30:44

It's got a nice label, it's got everything going for it.

0:30:440:30:46

The price is...

0:30:460:30:48

-£65.

-Ow. Ow, ow, ow.

0:30:480:30:50

-Hurts.

-It does, doesn't it? But also, I want the elephant.

0:30:500:30:54

Well, let's see what Will can do.

0:30:540:30:56

-Hi, hello, young man. How are you?

-Lovely to meet you.

0:30:560:30:58

-We like the bowl.

-Mm-hm.

-But we don't like the price tag.

0:30:580:31:02

Do you know what that could be done for?

0:31:020:31:03

How does £50 sound to you guys?

0:31:030:31:05

-Too much.

-Too much.

-Too much still?

0:31:050:31:08

-35?

-35.

0:31:080:31:10

-Oh, I'd go lower.

-Absolute best, 35.

0:31:100:31:13

35.

0:31:130:31:14

I'd shake the man's hand.

0:31:140:31:16

-Would you?

-Maybe 30.

-You told me to go for 30.

-Sorry.

0:31:160:31:19

My friend, my rival, is a really good haggler,

0:31:190:31:22

and I have failed miserably. You can save my life.

0:31:220:31:25

-Your inner haggle.

-Yeah, go on, then. Do it for 30.

0:31:250:31:28

I l...

0:31:280:31:29

-You've made my day!

-Where there's a Will, eh?

0:31:310:31:33

Am I allowed to buy the elephant stool?

0:31:330:31:35

Well, depending on how well you negotiate.

0:31:350:31:38

-Under 50. It's got to be... 40, I would have thought.

-Right.

0:31:380:31:41

Remember the ticket price?

0:31:410:31:43

99. Do it at 45, that's the best I can do.

0:31:430:31:46

45. Go on, Will. Put it there, chief. Well done.

0:31:460:31:49

Do you want me to hug him for you?

0:31:490:31:51

Yeah, kiss him. Kiss the young man.

0:31:510:31:53

Oh, haggling and hugging.

0:31:530:31:55

-A little plastic fiver.

-Oh, that's perfect.

0:31:550:31:58

Now, any danger of Tina splashing out?

0:31:580:32:01

This is a lovely cabinet, I like this.

0:32:010:32:03

Isn't it? You've got some vesta cases, haven't you?

0:32:030:32:05

-From your dad.

-Yes, I have.

-I mean, look at that lovely cigarette...

0:32:050:32:08

-Cigar box.

-That's a cigar one.

0:32:080:32:10

And that one of there is a little cheroot case.

0:32:100:32:12

-Cheroot, what would they...?

-Little cigars.

0:32:120:32:14

Oh, look down here, Tina.

0:32:140:32:16

There's a lovely set of Art Nouveau silver buttons.

0:32:160:32:20

-Oh, yes.

-They are lovely.

0:32:200:32:22

-And you know when you were talking about the frame earlier?

-Yes?

0:32:220:32:25

-Could go together?

-Yeah, the frame and those could go together.

0:32:250:32:28

-95.

-95. Shall we have a look at them?

0:32:280:32:31

-Yes, yes.

-OK.

0:32:310:32:32

I think those are gorgeous.

0:32:320:32:34

These look like they're in their original box.

0:32:340:32:37

-Mm.

-They're dated 1903. I think that these are a classic piece.

0:32:370:32:42

So do I. Let's go and negotiate.

0:32:420:32:45

Definitely.

0:32:450:32:46

OK. First, we need to retrieve that frame.

0:32:460:32:49

Still there. Next, manager Brian.

0:32:490:32:51

We really need your help here, because...

0:32:510:32:53

I'm sure we can do something.

0:32:530:32:55

-We love this.

-We could do those for 80 for you.

0:32:550:32:58

Right, and what about my lovely frame?

0:32:580:33:00

And your frame is 78. Erm...

0:33:000:33:02

Could do that for 65 for you.

0:33:030:33:05

-Brian, ideally...

-Yeah?

-We're looking around £100.

0:33:050:33:09

Oh, gosh. How about 120?

0:33:090:33:13

-Why don't we split the difference?

-That's a good idea.

0:33:130:33:16

-Yes?

-Yeah.

-Are you happy with 110?

-Yeah.

-Thank you, Brian.

0:33:160:33:19

-It's a pleasure.

-Thank you very much.

0:33:190:33:21

Well, that was fruitful.

0:33:210:33:22

-Money?

-Money!

-We've got to pay him, we've got to pay the man!

0:33:220:33:25

Thought I could get away with a smile.

0:33:250:33:27

Nice try, Tina.

0:33:270:33:28

But what about Sharon and James?

0:33:300:33:32

What's the pathway to acting?

0:33:320:33:34

Well, the only way through for me was to apply for drama schools.

0:33:340:33:37

So I applied for the Royal Academy Of Dramatic Art, Rada.

0:33:370:33:39

30 shillings, you paid, for an audition.

0:33:390:33:42

Two speeches, one Shakespeare, one modern.

0:33:420:33:44

But I'm crying down the side of the chair, going

0:33:440:33:47

"Nothing, nothing, nothing. Not even my own soul."

0:33:470:33:50

Two weeks later got a letter saying, "You've been accepted at Rada,"

0:33:500:33:53

and poverty was a massive advantage, because I got a full grant.

0:33:530:33:57

Currently resting from their shopping duties, those two

0:33:570:34:01

are crossing into Oxfordshire, and the village of Kelmscott.

0:34:010:34:04

Have you ever worked with your husband, Trevor Eve?

0:34:040:34:07

Only once, recently, we were asked to appear in

0:34:070:34:10

a version of Pygmalion at Buckingham Palace in front of the Queen.

0:34:100:34:14

I did not play Eliza, I played the housekeeper,

0:34:140:34:17

and he played Professor Higgins.

0:34:170:34:18

It was in the Investiture Room, and it was like doing it in somebody's

0:34:180:34:21

-front parlour.

-Fabulous.

-It was very funny, and a real privilege.

0:34:210:34:24

It was very exciting.

0:34:240:34:25

This is Kelmscott Manor, where they're about to learn the story

0:34:250:34:30

of the fair lady who some believe was the inspiration

0:34:300:34:33

for Pygmalion's Eliza Doolittle...

0:34:330:34:35

Quiet little nook.

0:34:370:34:38

..in the company of Victorian art expert, Jan Marsh.

0:34:380:34:41

-Hello. I'm Jan.

-I'm Sharon.

0:34:410:34:44

-Nice to meet you.

-James.

-James, nice to meet you.

0:34:440:34:47

-And welcome to Kelmscott Manor.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:34:470:34:49

This Elizabethan home was leased as a country retreat by the

0:34:490:34:53

great artist and designer William Morris, and his friend,

0:34:530:34:56

the painter and poet Dante Gabriele Rossetti.

0:34:560:34:59

So, is this all original...?

0:35:000:35:02

Yes, this house has hardly changed since the Morrises were here.

0:35:020:35:05

But the other person closely associated with Kelmscott

0:35:050:35:08

is the Pre-Raphaelite model Jane Burden.

0:35:080:35:12

She grew up in Oxford.

0:35:120:35:13

She came from a very impoverished and ill-educated family,

0:35:130:35:17

so when she met Pre-Raphaelite artists at the age of 17,

0:35:170:35:21

she fell absolutely head over heels, not just with them,

0:35:210:35:25

but with the whole atmosphere of art and culture.

0:35:250:35:29

In the little room by the side,

0:35:290:35:32

there is the first drawing that Rossetti ever did of Jane, aged 17.

0:35:320:35:37

And you can see how he has made probably a very plain lass

0:35:370:35:41

into an absolutely beautiful young woman.

0:35:410:35:44

It was Rossetti who first discovered Jane, but Morris who married her,

0:35:440:35:48

in 1859.

0:35:480:35:50

She was obviously one of those very bright working-class lasses,

0:35:500:35:54

who, when she sees an opportunity, she absolutely seized it.

0:35:540:35:57

Grab it. They don't come twice.

0:35:570:35:58

Yes. It was like a Cinderella, it was like Pygmalion...

0:35:580:36:01

Pygmalion!

0:36:010:36:03

Absolutely. It totally changed her life.

0:36:030:36:06

Is there a truth in the fact that Eliza Doolittle might loosely

0:36:060:36:09

have been based on Jane, do you think?

0:36:090:36:11

Well, it's quite possible, because Bernard Shaw, who wrote Pygmalion...

0:36:110:36:14

-Yes. He came here, did he?

-He knew the Morrises, came here,

0:36:140:36:17

and so he knew the story about how Janey had been

0:36:170:36:20

plucked from obscurity, and she was reinvented as a lady,

0:36:200:36:24

as Mrs William Morris.

0:36:240:36:26

Where real-life differs, however, is in the complicated relationship

0:36:260:36:30

between husband, wife and their friend, Rossetti.

0:36:300:36:33

On the wall here is his first oil portrait of Jane,

0:36:330:36:38

and it says along the top, "Famed for her poet husband,

0:36:380:36:42

"famed for her beauty, and now let her be famed for my painting."

0:36:420:36:46

He was never very modest, Rossetti.

0:36:470:36:49

And he painted and drew that face over and over again

0:36:500:36:53

in different guises. It was his ideal.

0:36:530:36:55

It's a bit wistful, isn't it?

0:36:550:36:57

Rossetti's painting the wife of his friend and making her look

0:36:570:37:01

rather melancholy, and then within a few months,

0:37:010:37:05

you're declaring your love for her? Don't you think he's made her

0:37:050:37:09

look sad because their affections can never blossom?

0:37:090:37:12

When the attachment between the two became obvious,

0:37:120:37:15

Morris and Rossetti acquired Kelmscott in 1871.

0:37:150:37:19

Up this wonderful Jacobean staircase...

0:37:190:37:21

But while William took himself to Iceland for the summer,

0:37:210:37:25

Jane and Gabriele furnished the house together.

0:37:250:37:28

So this is the room that Rossetti took for his painting studio,

0:37:280:37:32

and Morris's bedroom is next door,

0:37:320:37:36

and Jane's bedroom is just beyond that.

0:37:360:37:39

It was an arrangement for propriety's sake.

0:37:390:37:43

What an understanding husband.

0:37:430:37:45

Yes. He loved the house. It was also a perfect house

0:37:450:37:48

for a hideaway for Jane and Gabriel to be together.

0:37:480:37:52

-It's got a walled garden.

-No prying eyes.

0:37:520:37:55

Very sophisticated crowd.

0:37:550:37:57

Was this a lifelong relationship?

0:37:570:37:59

Not really. Didn't last all that long. Two or three years,

0:37:590:38:02

and then Rossetti had a breakdown, and he eventually went

0:38:020:38:05

back to London, and then the Morrises took on the house.

0:38:050:38:08

Was Jane involved in Morris and Co, in the business?

0:38:080:38:11

Oh, very actively, from the very beginning.

0:38:110:38:13

She actually ran and organised the embroidery side of the business

0:38:130:38:17

and she became an absolutely renowned embroiderer,

0:38:170:38:20

and there are quite a lot of examples of her work still here,

0:38:200:38:23

so she really had quite an active career.

0:38:230:38:25

Rossetti died in 1882, and Morris himself 14 years later,

0:38:250:38:30

but Jane and her daughters kept Kelmscott.

0:38:300:38:34

This iconic house, which features on the cover

0:38:340:38:37

of Morris' News From Nowhere, and is glimpsed in Rossetti's

0:38:370:38:40

1871 painting of Jane, remains a finely preserved memorial.

0:38:400:38:45

Meanwhile, back in Gloucestershire,

0:38:490:38:51

Tina and Raj are on their way to their final shop.

0:38:510:38:54

And of course, we do have a slight advantage,

0:38:540:38:57

because this is your home patch.

0:38:570:38:59

That's right, yes. We're off to Tetbury,

0:38:590:39:02

and I actually got married in Tetbury ten years ago.

0:39:020:39:05

-Oh, really?

-There was one shop where I have bought a lot of antiques

0:39:050:39:10

in the past, so I'm hoping he might be there today,

0:39:100:39:13

and I might be able to use some sort of charm.

0:39:130:39:16

Works both ways, mind you.

0:39:160:39:19

A bit like the road to Tetbury.

0:39:190:39:21

That's the church where Tina was wed all right.

0:39:210:39:24

-Because you know this place.

-I do, that's George's shop.

0:39:240:39:27

Definitely not your usual antique shop.

0:39:320:39:35

Hello, George. Nice to see you again.

0:39:360:39:38

-Nice to see you. How are you?

-Great, thank you.

0:39:380:39:40

-Hello, George. Raj.

-Nice to meet you.

0:39:400:39:42

What a lovely shop you have here.

0:39:420:39:44

He does. And Tina has £165 left, remember.

0:39:440:39:49

Very interior design-y pieces, aren't they?

0:39:490:39:51

I mean, George has obviously got a connection with India.

0:39:510:39:54

And these are quite nice, aren't they?

0:39:540:39:56

Yeah, yeah. These are nice, old, painted brackets.

0:39:560:39:58

-Very nice. Oh! And heavy.

-Heavy.

-Super heavy.

0:39:580:40:02

-Go on.

-Pertique brackets.

0:40:020:40:05

-Anglo Indian.

-£600 for the set.

0:40:050:40:08

They're nice, but you'd want the set, wouldn't you?

0:40:080:40:11

-And 600 is a bit steep.

-Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

0:40:110:40:13

Well, there's plenty more.

0:40:130:40:15

These are lovely old patterns.

0:40:150:40:17

-Yeah.

-Do you know what these are for?

-They were for paint, printing?

0:40:170:40:21

Absolutely. You would have a sari, for example,

0:40:210:40:24

they would take that piece, put it into the paint...

0:40:240:40:27

-Yeah.

-..and then decorate the bottom of the sari.

0:40:270:40:29

But that's an interesting one. That's an old roti stone.

0:40:290:40:32

That would've been heated, and you'd make the chapatti,

0:40:320:40:34

slap it on the stone, cook it on the stone, and then ready to go.

0:40:340:40:38

Yummy.

0:40:380:40:39

Now, HE looks tasty.

0:40:390:40:41

-Oh, Tina, look at this.

-Yeah, look at him!

0:40:410:40:44

Isn't that a nice lump?

0:40:440:40:47

It's so heavy!

0:40:470:40:48

Is it? It looks to me like... I think it's pronounced Surya.

0:40:480:40:51

-Is it?

-That's the sun god.

0:40:510:40:54

-The sun god!

-The sun god.

-I like that.

0:40:540:40:58

-So do I.

-That is so different.

0:40:580:41:00

I wonder what price is on it.

0:41:000:41:03

-400?

-Do you know? It could be. It could be 250, 200.

0:41:030:41:06

But we've got £165 left.

0:41:060:41:09

-Yeah.

-I mean, I'd pay...

0:41:090:41:11

..150?

0:41:130:41:15

-Would you?

-I mean, how old it is, I wouldn't like to bet on it,

0:41:150:41:18

-but it does look old to me.

-Does it?

-Let's ask him. George?

0:41:180:41:21

-Hi, George.

-Hi, Tina.

-We love the look of that.

0:41:210:41:24

Well, it's a big, brass, bronze Surya, and it's a sun god,

0:41:240:41:30

an interpretation of a sun god.

0:41:300:41:31

-Mm.

-Obviously they're the creator of the universe.

0:41:310:41:34

19th-20th century.

0:41:340:41:37

Not ancient, but a nice old piece.

0:41:370:41:39

But it's very decorative, it's a nice big lump, as they say.

0:41:390:41:42

-Solid. Yeah.

-Now the million-dollar question - how much is it?

0:41:420:41:46

220, I've got on it.

0:41:460:41:49

Ah. 220.

0:41:490:41:50

It's a little bit more than we were hoping to pay.

0:41:500:41:54

Cut to the chase, what's available?

0:41:540:41:57

Our offer, we've discussed it - would you take £150?

0:41:570:42:01

-Cash.

-We have a deal.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:42:030:42:06

By George, they've got it!

0:42:060:42:08

-So, here we go.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:42:080:42:11

Great. I hope you do well with it.

0:42:110:42:13

I second that.

0:42:130:42:14

-Come on.

-I'm coming. This is heavy!

0:42:140:42:16

-Come on! Where did you park the car?

-Oh, it's down there. Blimey!

0:42:160:42:19

So, with shopping done,

0:42:190:42:21

let's make an appointment for a full and frank disclosure.

0:42:210:42:25

Ooh, I love this bit!

0:42:250:42:27

On the count of one, two, three.

0:42:270:42:29

One, two, three.

0:42:290:42:31

-Ah.

-Aha!

0:42:310:42:33

Glass is well represented.

0:42:330:42:34

They're very cool, I like that.

0:42:340:42:36

-They are cool, aren't they?

-Very cool.

-They completely took my eye.

0:42:360:42:39

Tell me about the glass bowl. Is that...?

0:42:390:42:41

-That looks rather modern.

-New.

0:42:410:42:42

It's quite new. Orrefors, Swedish.

0:42:420:42:45

-Signed.

-Signed. That's why we've bought it.

0:42:450:42:48

Bit Brighton, we thought.

0:42:480:42:49

Yeah, it's close to Stockholm, yeah.

0:42:490:42:51

Cheeky Raj!

0:42:510:42:53

You'll never guess what that is.

0:42:530:42:54

What is it? It's for vinegar?

0:42:540:42:56

-Oil.

-Oil? Oil or vinegar?

0:42:560:42:57

-No.

-He's never seen one before.

0:42:570:42:59

-And obviously neither have you.

-Go on. Take them out of...

0:42:590:43:02

It's Georgian. It's a bird feeder for a bird cage.

0:43:020:43:06

A little lady with a little budgerigar...

0:43:060:43:08

You're right, I have never seen one before.

0:43:080:43:10

-Do you like it, though, Raj?

-It's a good story.

0:43:100:43:12

What have you got here? What are these?

0:43:120:43:14

-These prints? Three prints of Brighton.

-They're Brighton? Ah!

0:43:140:43:17

-So we've got...

-Has anyone told you? The auction's been changed!

0:43:170:43:21

-No, has it?

-Norwich.

-Glasgow.

0:43:210:43:24

You are in trouble!

0:43:240:43:26

-That's very good.

-That is very, very good.

0:43:270:43:30

Why's no-one talking about HIM, then?

0:43:300:43:32

-Elephant seat.

-That's Ashanti tribe, I think.

0:43:320:43:35

It's a refined elephant, with very long, lean...

0:43:350:43:37

It's got beautiful legs. Back legs. I like an elephant with long legs.

0:43:370:43:41

-Right. Is it our turn?

-Here we go, hang on a second.

-Go on.

0:43:410:43:44

Look at that. There's some stuff going on there!

0:43:440:43:48

-Here we go.

-Who is that rather strange fellow in the middle?

0:43:480:43:52

This is the Indian Sun God, Surya.

0:43:520:43:55

-OK.

-Yes. Nice.

0:43:550:43:57

It's got some age to it.

0:43:570:43:58

-Yeah.

-It's very, very decorative and unusual.

0:43:580:44:01

-Is it heavy?

-Very.

-It's very heavy.

0:44:010:44:03

Well, it's very lovely, and in the right situation,

0:44:030:44:05

if somebody can carry it out, if somebody is strong enough

0:44:050:44:07

to carry it out, I think it'll do fine!

0:44:070:44:10

And you've got a barbershop quartet...

0:44:100:44:12

We could open a barbershop here, couldn't we?!

0:44:120:44:14

That's what we said, it would go very well!

0:44:140:44:16

That's an Army... 1944... It's all engraved.

0:44:160:44:18

-That's lovely.

-A World War II one.

0:44:180:44:20

It's really nice, and I love the lamp.

0:44:200:44:22

-They're very, very trendy at the moment.

-Yeah.

-And it's original.

0:44:220:44:26

-Look at this.

-That's lovely.

-I know, they're lovely. Now, what are these?

0:44:260:44:29

-Art Nouveau buttons.

-Silver buttons.

0:44:290:44:31

-Lovely.

-Really, really nice.

-Very pretty, aren't they?

-Very pretty.

0:44:310:44:35

-And that comes with a copper frame.

-That's going to go as one lot.

0:44:350:44:39

Oh, it's one lot?

0:44:390:44:41

And more militaria.

0:44:410:44:43

-Very special.

-This is our very special...

0:44:430:44:45

You went for a piece of clothing.

0:44:450:44:47

-Yes.

-It's actually the Royal Glosters.

-Oh, Gloucester.

0:44:470:44:50

-Nice jacket. Tunic.

-They are very trendy, especially in Brighton,

0:44:500:44:53

the youngsters like wearing them when they go out.

0:44:530:44:56

Who told you that?

0:44:560:44:58

She's got a point!

0:44:580:45:01

I feel rally happy having seen yours now.

0:45:010:45:04

What does that mean?!

0:45:040:45:05

No, no, I mean it is now going to be a pleasure.

0:45:050:45:07

It'll be lovely.

0:45:070:45:09

The hard work's done. Come on, we'll see you at the auction.

0:45:090:45:12

We will see you at the auction.

0:45:120:45:13

See you there.

0:45:130:45:15

As they were revealed, I was very impressed, were you?

0:45:160:45:19

-Yeah.

-It looked like a great collection.

0:45:190:45:21

I think you've surprise them with your fabulous little bird feeder.

0:45:210:45:25

Their dud buy might be the elephant seat.

0:45:250:45:29

-Any swaps?

-I can't say I would, actually.

0:45:290:45:31

-Right answer.

-Would you?

0:45:310:45:33

If I could keep any of our objects that would be most useful

0:45:330:45:36

in my house, they would definitely be the barber's kit.

0:45:360:45:38

After getting started in Gloucester, and thoroughly exploring the county,

0:45:420:45:46

our celebrities and experts are now in Brighton.

0:45:460:45:49

Let's just hope it lives up to expectations.

0:45:490:45:52

Love being by the sea.

0:45:520:45:55

-You can smell it, can't you?

-You can.

0:45:550:45:58

Unfortunately, the Volvo wasn't at all well this morning,

0:45:580:46:02

so with a sherbet dab taking the strain,

0:46:020:46:05

these two can concentrate on more important matters.

0:46:050:46:08

So who would you say is the most competitive, Sharon?

0:46:080:46:10

Fancy you asking me that question!

0:46:100:46:13

The thing about you, Tina, is you say you're really competitive,

0:46:130:46:16

but what don't know about me is that I am quietly very competitive.

0:46:160:46:21

Actually I think I'm going to win. I really do, because let's face it,

0:46:210:46:24

mine is much more tasteful than yours, let's be honest.

0:46:240:46:29

I'm blaming Raj for that!

0:46:290:46:31

Welcome to Brighton General.

0:46:310:46:33

Sounds a bit like a hospital, so they may well feel at home.

0:46:330:46:36

-How are you? Nice to see you.

-Lovely to see you, too.

0:46:360:46:39

There's internet bidding here, too.

0:46:390:46:42

Come on. Let's go and see what's going to happen, then.

0:46:420:46:46

James and Sharon picked up five auction lots,

0:46:460:46:49

and Tina and Raj did exactly the same.

0:46:490:46:53

Now, I wonder what our auctioneer, Andrew Potter, makes of them.

0:46:530:46:57

Is he completely potty about them or not?

0:46:570:47:00

The 1940s hair cream dispenser, that should be the star item today.

0:47:000:47:05

There's lots of barber's shops opening up around the place,

0:47:050:47:08

a lot of interest on the internet on that so I am expecting that to sell

0:47:080:47:12

very well today. The Gloucestershire Regiment jacket, it's a bit

0:47:120:47:16

steam punk-ish, so you can see people around Brighton

0:47:160:47:19

walking around the streets wearing that sort of thing.

0:47:190:47:22

Yeah, I see what you mean. Raj did have a point.

0:47:220:47:25

Very good. Very excited.

0:47:250:47:27

First on parade is Tina and Raj's military barber's kit.

0:47:290:47:33

-Here we go!

-This is the one we want to do well.

0:47:330:47:37

I've got interest on this. I can start this at 26, 28.

0:47:370:47:40

£30 now. Looking for 32. I've got £30 with me.

0:47:420:47:47

Is there 32 anywhere?

0:47:470:47:49

All done at £30.

0:47:490:47:52

Started with a profit! Congratulations!

0:47:520:47:56

Good start there, and a tidy reward.

0:47:560:47:59

-Tenner.

-Tenner's a tenner.

0:47:590:48:01

That's 50% of what we paid for it, that's not bad.

0:48:010:48:04

No, it's very good.

0:48:040:48:06

-We'll be all right, James.

-Yeah.

0:48:060:48:08

Pachyderm profit or trunk junk? It's James's favourite.

0:48:080:48:12

And what did you pay for it, James?

0:48:120:48:13

-£45.

-£45, cheap at the price, darling. Cheap at the price.

0:48:130:48:18

I can start on the net at £44.

0:48:180:48:22

Looking for 46 now.

0:48:220:48:24

Oh! Sorry!

0:48:240:48:25

Got 48, got 50.

0:48:250:48:28

-Got 55.

-THEY CRY OUT

0:48:280:48:32

Is it going mad in here or what?

0:48:320:48:34

I've got 55 on the net, looking for 60 now.

0:48:340:48:37

I've got 55 on the net. Is there 60 anywhere?

0:48:370:48:40

-Come on!

-You can't bid yourself, or you will get into trouble.

0:48:400:48:44

So illegal. Did it!

0:48:440:48:47

-Maughan, you have been warned.

-He'll hit me on the head!

0:48:470:48:51

All done at 55...

0:48:510:48:53

-Got 60, 65. I've got 65 on the net.

-Oh!

0:48:530:48:56

Oh, dear! Got 65 on the net, looking for 70 now.

0:48:560:49:00

I've got 65. Is there 70 anywhere?

0:49:000:49:03

70 on the net.

0:49:030:49:04

We're going to have a riot in here! I've got 70 on the net.

0:49:060:49:10

Is there a 75? All done at £70....

0:49:100:49:13

Well done.

0:49:160:49:18

Well done, James!

0:49:180:49:20

Yeah, nicely spotted.

0:49:200:49:22

What a good start!

0:49:220:49:24

For us.

0:49:240:49:26

It's all right for you.

0:49:260:49:27

We start off slower, and build up.

0:49:270:49:30

Well, let's see if their buttons and frame can do the same.

0:49:300:49:34

You've spent a lot of money on these.

0:49:340:49:35

We did, we spent a lot of money.

0:49:350:49:37

£110. That's good.

0:49:370:49:40

I can start the book at £40.

0:49:400:49:42

-I've got 42 on the net.

-It is gorgeous.

0:49:420:49:43

44. 46. 46. 48.

0:49:430:49:46

I've got 48. I'll come to the room shortly.

0:49:460:49:49

-Keep going. It's all right.

-I've got 55 on the net.

0:49:490:49:51

-Keep going.

-You be quiet, James!

0:49:520:49:55

£70 in the room, looking for 75 anywhere.

0:49:550:49:58

-Oh, yes, yes!

-75. Got £80.

0:49:580:50:01

85. 90. 95.

0:50:010:50:05

OK, stop joking now.

0:50:050:50:07

Back of the room.

0:50:070:50:09

Is that a 95 anywhere?

0:50:090:50:11

Would you like 100? 100 in the room. Looking for 110 now.

0:50:130:50:17

-All done at £100.

-Aw! That's not bad, though.

0:50:170:50:22

That's very good. I thought it was going to sell for 50.

0:50:220:50:25

Cheeky. This is shaping up to be quite a contest.

0:50:250:50:29

Not bad for a load of rubbish.

0:50:290:50:32

It's not!

0:50:320:50:33

As a team, we do not like making losses.

0:50:330:50:35

Next we have Sharon's Swedish bowl.

0:50:370:50:39

It's not terribly old.

0:50:390:50:41

But very beautiful.

0:50:410:50:42

Very Art Deco.

0:50:430:50:45

Nice, heavy crystal piece here.

0:50:480:50:50

I can start on the book, I've got 26, 28.

0:50:500:50:53

I've got 30 now.

0:50:530:50:55

-OK.

-Looking for 32 now.

0:50:550:50:58

I've got £30. Is there a 32 anywhere?

0:50:580:51:02

I've got 32 now on the net.

0:51:020:51:05

Internet bid.

0:51:050:51:07

I've got 32 on the net, is there 34 anywhere?

0:51:070:51:10

I will sell it at £32.

0:51:100:51:12

Sold to the net for £32.

0:51:120:51:14

A profit. Two quid.

0:51:140:51:16

Every little bit helps.

0:51:160:51:19

Quite. Nothing to be ashamed of.

0:51:190:51:21

I'm proud. We haven't lost yet.

0:51:210:51:23

No crying in the audience, please.

0:51:230:51:25

Can the Glorious Glosters come to Tina and Raj's assistance?

0:51:270:51:31

I really like this and I think this is where

0:51:310:51:34

-we're going to come marching back.

-Do you want to buy it?

0:51:340:51:36

Yes!

0:51:360:51:38

I've got 26, 28 on the net.

0:51:400:51:41

Looking for 30. I've got 28 on the net.

0:51:420:51:45

Is there a 30 anywhere?

0:51:450:51:47

-Yes.

-We've got 30 now on the net.

0:51:470:51:50

Is there 32 anywhere?

0:51:500:51:52

I've got 30 on the net.

0:51:520:51:53

I think he's struggling.

0:51:530:51:55

I've got 34 now.

0:51:550:51:56

34. 36 anywhere? I've got 34 now.

0:51:560:52:00

Looking for 36. 36 on the net.

0:52:000:52:02

38. 38.

0:52:020:52:04

Come on, come on.

0:52:040:52:07

It's gorgeous.

0:52:070:52:08

Looking for 40 now. I will sell it.

0:52:080:52:12

-No!

-I will sell it at £38.

0:52:120:52:14

It's sold to the net.

0:52:140:52:16

It's all right, Raj. Your reputation won't die on this.

0:52:160:52:22

Yes, come on, Raj, chin up.

0:52:220:52:24

She's going to go around saying, "I got an idiot!"

0:52:240:52:27

"That idiot Raj Bisram doesn't know anything!"

0:52:270:52:30

A big test for James next - his Brighton engravings.

0:52:300:52:35

If they don't do well here, they won't do well anywhere.

0:52:350:52:38

I know. To be honest.

0:52:380:52:39

-They have got to do well.

-Let's hope you just make a small loss.

0:52:390:52:43

Very nice pieces there, we've got 22, 24 on the net.

0:52:430:52:48

26, looking for 28.

0:52:480:52:50

Keep going, keep going.

0:52:500:52:52

I've got 28, I've

0:52:520:52:54

got 30, 32. 34. 36, 38, 40. I've got £40 at the front,

0:52:540:53:01

-looking for 42. 42, 44, 46.

-This is live, it's happening here.

0:53:010:53:06

-55, 60. 65, now got £60.

-Nice.

0:53:060:53:10

£60 to my left, is there 65 anywhere?

0:53:100:53:14

I will sell them at £60.

0:53:140:53:18

-No.

-Oh!

-Oh!

0:53:180:53:21

-Did you gloat?

-Sorry.

-No, no.

0:53:210:53:24

I think they definitely did, Sharon.

0:53:240:53:26

Yes, right, the gloves are off.

0:53:260:53:29

If you gloated, the gloves are off.

0:53:290:53:32

Were you gloating? I don't think you were gloating.

0:53:320:53:34

I couldn't hold my excitement.

0:53:340:53:36

Well, it's your sun god next, Tina.

0:53:360:53:39

Are those two related, by the way?

0:53:390:53:41

Fingers crossed. The sun is shining.

0:53:410:53:42

Actually, it's not, it's cloudy.

0:53:420:53:45

The lady behind me fancies it for her garden.

0:53:450:53:48

How much?

0:53:480:53:49

I've got bids up to 85, 90. 95 with me.

0:53:490:53:56

Looking for 100.

0:53:560:53:57

I've got 95 with me.

0:53:570:53:59

-Gorgeous.

-Rather heavy and large plaque.

0:53:590:54:02

I've got 95 with me.

0:54:020:54:04

I can see the internet hovering.

0:54:040:54:06

I've got 100 at the back of the room.

0:54:060:54:08

I've got 110 with me.

0:54:080:54:09

Looking for 120.

0:54:090:54:11

110. Is there 120 anywhere?

0:54:110:54:14

-I will sell it at £110.

-Sell it.

0:54:140:54:19

-No, don't sell it!

-Sorry to gloat!

0:54:190:54:22

It's like Holby City all over again.

0:54:230:54:27

That lamp better come through.

0:54:270:54:28

That dodgy lamp.

0:54:280:54:30

You're in trouble.

0:54:300:54:32

You don't know this woman's wrath.

0:54:320:54:34

Before that we have Sharon's big buy,

0:54:340:54:37

the hair cream dispensers with provenance.

0:54:370:54:40

It's my pride and joy.

0:54:400:54:42

I'm very proud of my dispensers.

0:54:420:54:44

Would you like me to get some tissues?

0:54:440:54:46

No, you cannot touch me.

0:54:460:54:48

I have the faith.

0:54:480:54:50

Keep them, because you will be weeping.

0:54:500:54:53

I've got 65, I've got 70 on the net.

0:54:530:54:57

Looking for 75. Got 80.

0:54:570:54:58

Got 85.

0:54:580:54:59

Got 90. Got 95, 100.

0:55:010:55:03

-Do you want 110?

-120.

-120 on the net.

0:55:030:55:06

The internet has taken over, 130.

0:55:070:55:09

140. 150. 160?

0:55:090:55:12

You don't see these very often.

0:55:120:55:15

-No, never.

-It's a pair.

-No, never.

0:55:150:55:17

Got 160 on the net, looking for 170 now.

0:55:170:55:20

Come on, come on.

0:55:200:55:22

170 on the net.

0:55:220:55:24

I've got 170 on the net.

0:55:240:55:26

It's all those hipsters.

0:55:260:55:29

I will sell it at £170.

0:55:290:55:30

-No, linger longer.

-Linger.

0:55:300:55:34

Well done.

0:55:340:55:36

-It's a profit.

-Well done.

0:55:360:55:38

Yes, slick work there, Sharon.

0:55:380:55:41

Good buy, well done.

0:55:410:55:42

That's a good price. That's a really good profit.

0:55:420:55:45

Thank you.

0:55:450:55:47

Don't let them get to you, Tina.

0:55:470:55:50

-Confidence.

-It's an uphill struggle now, Raj.

0:55:500:55:53

It will take one heck of a profit for Raj's lamp to swing it.

0:55:530:55:56

Here we go.

0:55:560:55:58

Here we are.

0:55:580:55:59

That's nice.

0:56:000:56:02

I've got 20, I've got 22 now on the net.

0:56:020:56:05

Looking for 24. I've got 24, 26, 28.

0:56:050:56:10

-30, 32. 34.

-It's happening.

0:56:100:56:15

34 on the net. looking for 36. I've got 34 on the net. I've got 34.

0:56:150:56:19

Moving beyond 34.

0:56:190:56:22

I will sell it at £34.

0:56:220:56:25

ALL: No!

0:56:250:56:27

-I'm going home.

-Head bowed, it seems.

0:56:270:56:32

So sorry. So sorry.

0:56:320:56:35

Hello, James!

0:56:360:56:38

Finally, Sharon's bird feeder.

0:56:380:56:40

Can I say she got it CHEEP?

0:56:400:56:42

You've never seen one before, you've never seen one before...

0:56:420:56:45

I'VE never seen one before.

0:56:450:56:47

I've got £10 with me, looking for 12.

0:56:470:56:50

These usually break, so they are rare.

0:56:500:56:53

I've got 12 at the back of the room.

0:56:530:56:55

14. I've got 12 at the back of the room, is there 14 anywhere?

0:56:550:56:59

-I don't get it.

-I will sell it at £12.

0:56:590:57:03

-Easy, easy.

-No!

0:57:030:57:05

I am very disappointed in this audience.

0:57:050:57:08

Ah, well, a minor blip.

0:57:080:57:10

Some big profits there.

0:57:100:57:12

Highs and lows, isn't it?

0:57:120:57:13

Up and down. Let's find out how it worked out, what do you think?

0:57:130:57:17

Do you have any idea, Raj?

0:57:170:57:18

No.

0:57:180:57:20

-Not really, no.

-I think he does.

0:57:200:57:22

OK, let's get down to business.

0:57:220:57:24

Tina and Raj started out with £400 and, after auction costs,

0:57:260:57:31

they made a loss of £129.16.

0:57:310:57:35

So they end up with £270.84.

0:57:350:57:38

Sharon and James, who began with the same sum,

0:57:390:57:42

made a much smaller loss after costs of £17.92.

0:57:420:57:46

So they are our victors, with a final total of 382.08.

0:57:460:57:50

-They've become close.

-That was fun.

0:57:500:57:53

That was fun. I'm sorry.

0:57:530:57:55

I feel like I have let you down. But we had fun.

0:57:550:57:58

-It was great fun.

-I can't help but be happy.

0:57:580:58:02

-Well done, you.

-Thank you, my darling.

0:58:020:58:05

-Thank you.

-Are you all right, Raj?

0:58:050:58:07

-I am absolutely fine.

-Are you really happy for me?

0:58:070:58:09

Of course I'm happy for you.

0:58:090:58:11

Come on, we've got to wave them off.

0:58:130:58:15

Bye-bye, thank you.

0:58:150:58:16

Let's go and hail a taxi.

0:58:180:58:19

-Taxi!

-I don't want to finish.

0:58:190:58:21

I've had such a good time.

0:58:210:58:24

Is this one of the most exhausting jobs you've ever done?

0:58:240:58:27
