0:00:02 > 0:00:04- The nation's favourite celebrities...- Ooh.
0:00:04 > 0:00:05Want to touch base.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07- ..paired up with an expert...- Boo!
0:00:07 > 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 > 0:00:18The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22But it's no easy ride. Who will find a hidden gem?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I like that.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- Who will take the biggest risk? - This could end in disaster.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31- Will anybody follow expert advice? - But I love this!
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Why would you buy something you're not going to use?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- No, I don't want to shake hands. - Put your pedal to the metal.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Hang on, let me get out of first gear.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Yeah!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Today, we're joined by a pair of chums who go way back,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56after both hitting the big time,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58thanks to children's television.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01It's Anthea Turner and Andi Peters.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05- Ooh.- Ooh.- What have they spotted?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07They'll be going head-to-head,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09hunting for antiques across the north-west of England
0:01:09 > 0:01:11in this 1950 Land Rover Series 1.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Manufactured before seat belts were mandatory
0:01:14 > 0:01:18means there are none fitted, which is why they aren't wearing any.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Seat belts I mean.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22This is the most uncomfortable ride I've ever had.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Anthea, why did you choose a Land Rover classic?
0:01:25 > 0:01:26I chose a Land Rover classic
0:01:26 > 0:01:28because it's what I learnt to drive in.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30What, a tractor like this?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Yes, but the one I learnt to drive in,
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- it was a bit better than this, but not much.- Was it as loud as this?
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- Yes.- This car is incredibly loud.- I know, we're shouting at each other.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42And there's no radio, so I've got no music.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- It's just me and you, baby, just me and you.- I know.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51No stranger to the north of England, Anthea was born in Stoke-on-Trent,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and has been gracing our TV screens for over 20 years.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57An author, as well as a top TV personality,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Anthea is probably best known
0:01:59 > 0:02:04for her role on the award-winning children's programme Blue Peter.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08And there you go, Thunderbird 2 fits very nicely inside there.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10And that really is it so, Brains,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14I hope you're pleased with your brand-new home.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20A lot of old people rambling. Morning! Television's Anthea Turner.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24And me, Andi Peters.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Joker, TV presenter, journalist and media executive,
0:02:28 > 0:02:33Andi first found fame as a CBBC presenter in the late '80s,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36when he and his sidekick, Edd the Duck,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39entertained the nation from a broom cupboard.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Clockwise, Fantastic Max, Uncle Jack,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Newsround and Blue Peter. - EDD THE DUCK QUACKS
0:02:44 > 0:02:46That's finished Sarah off, hasn't it?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Good, we can watch The Brollys in peace.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54I'm hoping for a Ming vase. Just starting small, just starting small.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Well, I'm a bit more of an antique than you,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59so I think I might do quite well in this.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I'm really hoping that I get a really great expert,
0:03:02 > 0:03:06somebody that likes a bit of banter and will actually listen to me.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Cos you know what they're like.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11They're like, "Oh, I just want to get this." No, I quite like this.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Can I just stop it there?- Go on.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- You'd just like somebody who listens to you.- Yeah, that'll do.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Fingers crossed that our two antiques experts will be all ears,
0:03:23 > 0:03:27as joining the trip today are dapper dandy Charles Hudson
0:03:27 > 0:03:29and the ever-wise Margie Cooper.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33They're cruising along in this classic Jaguar XJS coupe.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Very nice.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I can't wait to meet these two prized celebrities.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Yeah, Andi and Anthea.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It takes me back, Margie, because I was a 1980s boy
0:03:43 > 0:03:46and I remember, in '89, when I was 11 years old,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50watching Andi Peters in the broom cupboard.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55- But then, Margie, to add weight to today, Anthea Turner.- Yeah.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- '92, Blue Peter. I was 14 years old. - Ah...- How old were you then?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02MARGIE LAUGHS
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Look at me, look at me. Were you still working?- Stop it!- Sorry.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Never ask a lady her age, Charles!
0:04:09 > 0:04:11With £400 in the budget,
0:04:11 > 0:04:15both of our teams will be touring north-west England,
0:04:15 > 0:04:16making shopping pit stops
0:04:16 > 0:04:18in Cheshire, Greater Manchester
0:04:18 > 0:04:21and Staffordshire, before finally heading to North Yorkshire
0:04:21 > 0:04:24for auction in Killinghall near Harrogate.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Here they come.- Oh, here they come. - Here she comes.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Some very handy driving there.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Engine off, engine off. - Break, break.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- We don't know how to switch it off. - THEY LAUGH
0:04:39 > 0:04:40- Oh, wow!- Marvellous.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Andi, that's some serious off-road driving.- How are you?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Lovely to meet you. I'm Andi.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- Oh!- How are you? Good to see you. - Hello, darling.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Nice to see you, nice to see you.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Driving with Anthea is quite something in that car.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Who are we with? Who are we with?
0:04:57 > 0:05:02- An obvious choice, isn't it?- Well, Anthea, you were my... Absolutely.
0:05:02 > 0:05:08- You have been talking about...- What a way to manhandle him! Good Lord!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Will you look after me, Margie? - I will look after you.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Will you look after me? - I'll do my very best for you.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I just want to find some Star Wars figures.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17It's a beefy market, the Star Wars market.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19What you should have said is, "Nice hat, can I try it on?"
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Quick! Let's go, Margie, we get a head start!
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Let's go, let's go!- Don't worry, we'll get him back.- Absolutely.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31- Belt on.- Woohoo! Oh, this is luxury. - This is luxury.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- This is a very nippy vehicle. - It's fantastic. It's really nice.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- MARGIE:- Bye!- ANTHEA:- See you. Bye!
0:05:37 > 0:05:41It takes us a little bit longer to get started.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Come on, you two, get going!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52This morning, both teams are racing 20 miles north
0:05:52 > 0:05:55to Failsworth in Greater Manchester.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57That one's going.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59There we go.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Do you want some squirty as well? - I don't think they do squirty.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Where's the water? - The squirty is the rain.- OK.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- HORN BEEPS - Oh, there we go. It's not that.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10That wasn't squirty.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12HORN BEEPS REPEATEDLY
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Do you buy... In your private life, do you buy stuff like this?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Oh, no, in my private life I buy everything new.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- So you've never bought old? - I've never bought old. Even cars.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- I always buy new cars.- Yeah, I do.
0:06:28 > 0:06:34I remember you, and I suppose you were my, dare I say, Anthea,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36look-at-me pin-up. You were my pin-up
0:06:36 > 0:06:40in around '92 and I thought, "Oh, my God, Miss Turner."
0:06:40 > 0:06:42And you've barely changed.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44You look to me as though you're a haggler.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46You know what? I haggle in Marks & Spencer
0:06:46 > 0:06:47and I know it's not the done thing.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I flew all the way to Thailand once, just so I could haggle.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52People were like, "They haggle on everything in Thailand."
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I thought, "Right, take me there."
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Andi is very competitive. - That makes two of us.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Good.- Yeah.- And I sort of am.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Anthea is going to be in this to win this, there's no two ways about it.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08She's very competitive. On Blue Peter, back in the day,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10they used to do the big jumps, the big bungee jumps and all that.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- She would always want to jump the furthest, jump the highest.- Really?
0:07:14 > 0:07:15So, she's going to want to win
0:07:15 > 0:07:18so, sadly, Anthea, I'm going to beat you to it.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Looks like he already is,
0:07:22 > 0:07:26as Andi and Margie are first to arrive at Antique World.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- First shop.- First shop. - Let's get ready to jumble.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- See what I did there? Jumble. - MARGIE LAUGHS
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Very good, Andi.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Managed by two local antiques enthusiasts,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41this place is packed with all kinds of collectables.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Shall we go together?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Er...- Or shall I find things and shout?- It's up to you.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Marjorie! I found something! Listen out for that.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- If you hear that, come running. - All right. You go down there.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- OK, I'm on my way. - And I'll go down here.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Whilst they head off to hunt, look who's arrived.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- It's like a supermarket. - Where are we going to start?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- I just wonder if they're here yet. - No, I can hear Andi.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- I can hear Andi. - Yeah, course I can.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Marjorie, I've found something!
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- MARJORIE LAUGHS - Where is she?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Come on, Marjorie.- You're not allowed to use my full name.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I thought I could call you Marjorie. I thought we were friends now.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Marjorie, come and have a look at these. Link hands with me.- Oh, my...
0:08:22 > 0:08:26What you think? If you had really massive toilet doors.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Oh, my goodness, they're hilarious.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I don't know what they are but they're hilarious.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31You don't fancy them, do you?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34No, well I don't fancy yours!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36If I said to you what, by definition, is an antique,
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- what would you say?- I can't talk about you like that.- Oh!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Good answer. Well, you're obviously priceless.- Thank you.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- But an antique needs to be 100 years old, OK.- Right.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Oh, my goodness! Nobody will remember this.- Oh, no.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53From my Children's BBC days, that is Captain Bucky O'Hare.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55He goes where no ordinary rabbit would dare.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58If your righteous indignation has suffered a hit
0:08:58 > 0:09:00and your photon accelerator's broken a bit
0:09:00 > 0:09:03and you're losing your mind and you're having a fit,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06get the funky fresh rabbit that will take care of it. Bucky!
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Captain Bucky O'Hare! Oh, my goodness, that's amazing.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Never heard of him. - Right, put him back then.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Off you go, Bucky. Get back next to Thor.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Back to antiques. Something's caught silver expert Margie's eye.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I can see from here it's a bit damaged.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- Oh, I don't like it already if it's damaged.- But it's a nice thing.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- What is it?- That's for... You put water in there.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Stamps!- Yeah.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Let's have a look at the... Are you ready?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Oh, my gosh. I see you when you do this on the telly. I love this bit.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I'm just having a quick look. Not that it matters, but...
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- It does to ME. - Oh, yeah, it is. It's Edwardian.- OK.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45You can imagine, back in the Edwardian times,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48you were writing letters all the time. Don't want to go, common that.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53- No, no.- It's common, don't do it. - No.- So, you'd fill that.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58- But the thing is, nowadays, stamps are self-adhesive.- Yeah, but...
0:09:58 > 0:10:01You're not go to use it, are you? Is an antique.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Why would you buy something you're not going to use? I don't get it.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I fear many antiques may be lost on our Andi.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Margie's keen though. Better get the dealer over.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Where's the person? Jim! - No, it's not Jim.- It's not Jim.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- John! John! - Gentlemen.- Gentlemen.- Paul.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Paul, we got there in the end. I'd have got there in the end, Paul.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Lovely to meet you, Paul. Marjorie has a question for you.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- How much is it?- I've got 45 on it. I'll do it for 35.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- If I was to give you £30, would you say yes?- Yeah, I'll do you 30.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- You're an amazing man, Paul. Thank you very much indeed.- No problem.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Thank you.- Well done. Are you sure?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Yeah, I'm 100%. I'm bowing to your judgment
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- but the next thing, I'm choosing, all right?- Yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43First item of the trip bought
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and it's Andi's choice on the next purchase.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Good luck, Margie.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Margie, come on. Everybody wants a dog that can pour tea.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Come on, it's got to be worth something.- You're joking!- I'm not.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Hang on.- Hello.- Don't tell them, don't tell them.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- How's it going for you two? - It's going very well.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- My colleague, I've learned, is an expert in teapots.- Oh, really!
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Oh, yeah.- She knows a good handle. She knows a good spout.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I know everything about a teapot. I do.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- And then tip me over and pour me out.- Exactly.- Exactly.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I think you're doing very well. We're doing better.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- OK, see you later.- Don't even look at them, don't even look at them.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- They might give us bad vibes. - You're going to go for crazy things.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25They're a competitive bunch, aren't they?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Right, Anthea, what on earth have you got there?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32In Stoke, we call them a gazunder cos it "gaz under" the bed.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- That's it.- But this is one... It's a bedpan.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40"This slipper should be passed under the patient..." It's a hospital.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- "..in front between the legs." - Exactly.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47What I quite like about it, look at the wear on the foot rim there.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Yeah.- That's honest wear, where it's shifted under the bed
0:11:51 > 0:11:54and maybe you've been desperate, quickly, pull it into place,
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- and with thunder, you gazunder, don't you?- Yeah. Let's just take it.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- You never know.- OK, madam. - You never know.- That's it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- It might come in handy.- Yeah. - It's a big shop.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08So, the 19th-century bedpan is one possibility.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11And it looks like Charles has found a different kind of bowl.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Looking at that ribbed outline,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- I think that just might be Charlotte Reid.- No!
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- Let me try and get in from the back.- OK.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Charlotte Reid was one of the leading English ceramic designers
0:12:26 > 0:12:29of the '20s and '30s in the potteries area of Staffordshire.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Look at that!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35What I quite like about it are the colours.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- What a shame it's not signed, is it? - It isn't.- "Crown Ducal."
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Well, she worked there in the mid-1930s.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I love this sort of asymmetrical,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45almost Japanese Art Deco-inspired blossom.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50- For £28, so we'd probably get it for a bit less.- £20.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- We should do, shouldn't we? - I think so.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57Whilst this pair are all pots and pans, what's Andi uncovered?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59It's heavy. I always think if it's heavy, it's worth something.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- A miner's lamp.- Are they good? - A lot of history behind that.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04You do see them around.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07OK. A lot of the things, they look old but they feel new.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09This looks old and feels old
0:13:09 > 0:13:13and, again, if that's ten quid, I reckon we could sell that for 25.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- Oh, I think you'll be lucky. - What, to get £25?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18No, I think you'll be lucky that's he's going to ask
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- for much more than that.- Really? Let's find the man who owns this.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- Yes, shall we get the man? - Or the lady.- It's a man called Jim.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27What would I be looking at to pay you?
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- I've got an asking price of 60 on that.- Wow!- But...
0:13:31 > 0:13:34But are you a man that's open to negotiation?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I'm always open to offers, as long as it's not below the belt.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41I've got, in my back pocket now, £38.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42- I can't.- Really?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I'll meet you. I'll do 45.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Please could you do 40 cos then there's no change involved
0:13:47 > 0:13:49and I've got it in cash and they're both new notes.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- They're lovely notes.- Are you ready?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54£41. I want £1 for luck.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- It's luck money. - Got to have luck money in this.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I'm going to say luck money, cos you seem like a nice man.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Luck money I've got to have. £41.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- At the auction, can I buy it myself if I want it?- Oh!- No!
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Does it not work like that?- No!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- But I like it. If someone is only offering 20...- No!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13All right. Jim, I'm taking it. Shake my hand quickly.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Thank you very much. Thank you. We're having it. It's awesome!
0:14:16 > 0:14:20With the stamp moistener and Edwardian miner's lamp bought,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Andi and Margie are off.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Back with Anthea and Charles,
0:14:24 > 0:14:28a brass pestle and mortar are under consideration.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- That's really nice!- Isn't it? It's so heavy.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33So, you think this is how old?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I would say, looking at the base,
0:14:35 > 0:14:40and how it's almost created this patination of, that almost hue
0:14:40 > 0:14:48- of what you can't really fake, it must be 1700, 1720.- Really!?
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Yeah, absolutely.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52I'm not sure that they always belong together,
0:14:52 > 0:14:56the mortar and the pestle, but that's certainly of a similar age.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59So, the pestle and mortar are added to the ever-growing basket.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Anything else grab you both?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- I can't blow these things.- I'm sure you can.- No, honestly. Look.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- SHE BLOWS HORN NOISELESSLY - Ah, there's a secret.- Useless.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Go on.- Put your lips together and then you just go...
0:15:12 > 0:15:14HE BLOWS A SPLUTTERING NOTE
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Not enough puff.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22That is a typical late Victorian copper hunting horn.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Da-da-da-da. So, how much is it?
0:15:24 > 0:15:29- £16.- Time to check out with Jim.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34The gazunder has no price ticket on. How much was that going to be?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37I can do that for...
0:15:37 > 0:15:40It would have had 15 on it. I can do it for 12.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- OK, so mental note, £12. - All right then.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45The pestle and mortar has 55 on.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- £45.- OK. And this was priced at 28.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I think we can do 22.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56OK. And then your hunting horn, finally.
0:15:56 > 0:15:5812, if it helps you.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01With a combined total of £91, what's your best, Jim?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04The absolute best is £65.
0:16:04 > 0:16:10I think, sir, at £65, we are going to say, "Going, going..."
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- Are we going for that, Anthea? - Yes, we are.- Thank you very much.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Thank you so much.- Let's load up. The car awaits.- Yeah.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19And if you need to go to the loo, Anthea,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21we won't stop, we've got the gazunder.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Follow me. Let's go with some thunder. Come on.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Thank you.- Thanks a lot.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Andi and Margie, meanwhile,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34are making their way to Woodford in Greater Manchester.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- I've got a surprise for you.- Really?
0:16:37 > 0:16:41I hear you like planes, aeroplanes, things that fly.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I do! How did you know that? I'm a bit...
0:16:43 > 0:16:46When I was growing up, I would have loved to have been a pilot.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- I just love planes.- Oh, right.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- So, we're going to go and look at some old planes.- Antique planes?
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- Antique planes.- Oh, my goodness! Thank you.- Yeah.- Forward, driver.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Margie's taking Andi on a trip to the Avro Heritage Museum,
0:17:02 > 0:17:07which is situated on the site of the old Woodford airfield.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Oh, this is going to be good! - Are you excited?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12You're too kind to me, Margie!
0:17:12 > 0:17:14MARGIE LAUGHS
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- Come on, out you get, love. - It wasn't my...
0:17:16 > 0:17:18ANDY GRUNTS
0:17:18 > 0:17:19THEY LAUGH
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Shut the door. Right, let's pretend that never happened. In we go.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31A very excitable Andi and Margie have come to learn
0:17:31 > 0:17:34all about Sir Alliott Verdon Roe.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36A leading pioneer in the aviation industry,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Alliott was not only the first Englishman
0:17:38 > 0:17:42to fly an all-British aeroplane, but his company was responsible
0:17:42 > 0:17:46for some of this country's most iconic planes,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48including the Lancaster,
0:17:48 > 0:17:52World War II's most famous and successful RAF bomber.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57Andi and Margie are meeting chairman Terry Barnes to find out more.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02So, the Lancaster bomber behind you was built specifically
0:18:02 > 0:18:03because World War II was brewing?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Absolutely, and there were over 7,000 of them made, in total,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10in the country, of which 4,000 were made here at Woodford
0:18:10 > 0:18:12and flew from Woodford.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14An iconic aircraft, without which,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I doubt the war effort would have been successful.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20And, of course, next year, we've got the 75th anniversary
0:18:20 > 0:18:25of the Dambusters' raid, where the Lancaster was a key element.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27So, the Lancaster was hugely important during wartime,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30but what became of it in peaceful times?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Well, it was turned into a passenger-carrying aircraft
0:18:33 > 0:18:37and it was also re-engineered to become the Avro York
0:18:37 > 0:18:39which, in itself, was quite a famous plane
0:18:39 > 0:18:42because it took Charles de Gaulle, it took Lord Mountbatten,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45and even Churchill, to various post-war meetings,
0:18:45 > 0:18:49which they had all over Europe at that time, of course.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53And we have Churchill's chair here today, which was used in the York,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56in a meeting he went with Roosevelt and Stalin.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Oh, wow, is that it?- It is.- Can I?
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Go on, then.- Oh! Just imagine Winston Churchill sat in this chair.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06"Never, never, never give up!"
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- That's true. - It's obvious, though, isn't it,
0:19:09 > 0:19:13that Avro had a huge contribution to British aviation.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17They absolutely did. Not just British aviation, world aviation.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20And they had many, many inventions and firsts,
0:19:20 > 0:19:24one of them being the first enclosed cockpit in an aircraft,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28the first bomb rack and then the first retractable undercarriage,
0:19:28 > 0:19:29all leaders in their day.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32What's your favourite achievement or your favourite thing?
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I think the most iconic aircraft, and all 136 were made here,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- and that is the Vulcan bomber.- And by any chance, do you have one here?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- We just happen to have one for you. - Let's go!
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Is it actually this way?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- I say, "Let's go," but I don't even know which way.- It is.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Terry, this is phenomenal.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I mean, not only is it vast,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59it's kind of reminiscent of Concorde in so many ways.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Would that be the D-shape wing? - Absolutely.- So, why was this built?
0:20:03 > 0:20:08This was built as a carrier for the nuclear deterrent
0:20:08 > 0:20:11during the Cold War. The government sent out contracts.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16They needed a bomber to be able to deliver our nuclear deterrent bomb
0:20:16 > 0:20:18and so the Vulcan was born.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21But, obviously, it never actually delivered that payload, did it?
0:20:21 > 0:20:25No, indeed it didn't. I mean, the first Vulcans flew in 1950
0:20:25 > 0:20:30and were just reaching retirement at the end of the 1970s.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Then came the Falklands War
0:20:32 > 0:20:34and so the Vulcans were used in the Falklands War
0:20:34 > 0:20:38to deliver conventional weapons, non-nuclear weapons,
0:20:38 > 0:20:43and bombed Stanley airport at the very early part of the war.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Can we go inside? - You can't go in this one.- Oh!
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- But we have got one you can go in. - Ooh, where?- Inside the museum.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Let's go! What are we hanging around for?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Andi wasn't lying when he said he likes planes.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58He's clearly potty about them!
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Growing up, I always wanted to be a pilot.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03This is sadly the closest I'll get to it...
0:21:04 > 0:21:09..a plane in a museum. I mean, it's worn well.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12It's quite a tight squeeze. There's all sorts of...
0:21:12 > 0:21:17Oh, hello, look at... Oh, it's like an early day iPad.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- How are you finding it?- I like it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21If you could take your seat and fasten your seat belt,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- I'd be grateful.- Goodness me, look at the technology!
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Margie, doors to automatic, please crosscheck.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Where am I going now? - We're going to the Maldives.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- Margie?- Yeah. - Can I have some warm nuts please?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36It's hot in here, Terry, isn't it? Shall we go?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Come on.- Come on, let's go.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Andi, are you coming? - You're all right.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I've got to park on stand five and then pick up passengers.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Oh, dear, he's living the dream here. He's living the dream.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Leading pioneers in aviation,
0:21:52 > 0:21:57Avro produced planes crucial in both times of war and peace
0:21:57 > 0:22:02and it all started with the dream of one man, Sir Alliott Verdon Roe.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Ladies and gentlemen, welcome onboard Andi Peters Airways.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07It's our pleasure to have you onboard.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09If you find any nice antiques, do let me know
0:22:09 > 0:22:10and I'll take them off your hands.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Anthea and Charles, meanwhile, have made their way to Romiley,
0:22:18 > 0:22:23where they're on a buying mission at Romiley Antiques & Jewellery.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- SHOP BUZZER - There you go. The old-fashioned way.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- Hi.- Dealer Peter's shop has plenty on offer
0:22:30 > 0:22:33and this pair have just over £300 in their pocket.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37What I like to look for, Anthea, is those objects which are market fresh
0:22:37 > 0:22:40that have just come in off the street from a local home.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41- What's that? Market fresh?- Exactly.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46There's lots and lots of really nice antiques here.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- Look, blush ivory Worcester.- That's it.- I'm just thinking Harrogate.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I'm looking around at all this rich patination of furniture.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I'm thinking whether we ought to go for some furniture, you know.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Anything in mind, Charles?
0:22:59 > 0:23:05What I quite like, Peter, is this is a very nice papier-mache,
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- mother-of-pearl inset, is it a worktable?- A worktable, yeah.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11That's it, out like that.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15So, if you're at home, Anthea, you might have your wools
0:23:15 > 0:23:20and your lace and whatever else in your ladies worktable.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23This is just a very decorative picturesque scene
0:23:23 > 0:23:26and you've got the ink stand here as well.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29That's also mother-of-pearl and papier-mache.
0:23:29 > 0:23:35That could almost go on top and we could almost sell the two together.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37This worktable, priced at 145.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Mid-Victorian, let's say it's circa 1870.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43What could be the best price on that?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I'd like to say 125.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Peter, if I took charge now and said, "Love the worktable,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52"it's priced at 125."
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Just by chance, this ink stand was priced at £25,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59would you throw that in...
0:24:00 > 0:24:04..all for the princely sum of 125? Would you?
0:24:04 > 0:24:09- Yes, I would.- OK, all right.- It's a deal then, is it?- Yeah, it's a deal.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- Go on, then.- Let's both shake. - Thank you.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- We'll take them.- Very good.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19This pair are on shopping fire today.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Thank you, Peter.- Thank you so much. - Until next time.- Thank you.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- See you.- Ooh!- Sorry.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- And then we broke it! - There we go. See you, Peter.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Six other things on the way out.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Carlos, what are you doing?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- ANTHEA LAUGHS - Sorry.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41And, on that note, I think both teams should call it a day.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Night-night.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51It's a new morning.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56Our TV presenter pals, Anthea and Andi, are back together.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- How was yours yesterday?- It was really good. I like Charles.- Do you?
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- He's nice!- You see, I like Margie. - Good.- She's nicer.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06No, we can't play that game!
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- You know, I'm in heaven. I'm with Anthea Turner.- I know you are.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15- A lady who has done so much, who is incredibly beautiful.- She is.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18But not as gorgeous as you, Margie, not as gorgeous as you.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- You had to say that. Andi is great. I had just one shop yesterday.- Yes.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- He's good fun, he's lively. - He looks a very fit man as well.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- He's got muscles.- Has he?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- He's got a six-pack. - He hasn't!- Yeah.- Six-pack?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Yeah. Have you got a six-pack? - Eight-pack.- Have you?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- I've got an eight-pack, Margie. - Have you got a wobbly six-pack?
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Margie, I've got no jelly belly.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41How did you go yesterday? Did you find anything?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I can't tell you!
0:25:43 > 0:25:46But what I found was, it's really interesting
0:25:46 > 0:25:48because an antique, you need an expert.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I couldn't have done this by myself, so Margie is fantastic
0:25:51 > 0:25:54and she spotted something that I would never have spotted
0:25:54 > 0:25:58and was quite confident it would do well, so only time will tell.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Yeah, we'll have to see.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Anthea and Charles have had a storming start
0:26:02 > 0:26:05to their shopping, buying seven items already -
0:26:05 > 0:26:08the 19th-century bedpan, the ink stand,
0:26:08 > 0:26:12the Charlotte Reid vase, the Victorian worktable,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15the brass pestle and mortar and a late Victorian hunting horn...
0:26:15 > 0:26:17HE BLOWS A SPLUTTERING NOTE
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Well, sort of.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24..leaving them £210 in their purse.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Meanwhile, Andi and Margie have just bought two items so far -
0:26:27 > 0:26:29the silver stamp moistener
0:26:29 > 0:26:33and the Edwardian miner's lamp from the same period...
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Why would you buy something you're not going to use? I don't get it.
0:26:36 > 0:26:42..which means, they still have £329 available to spend.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Here they are! Good morning!
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Morning.- The vehicle's driven well.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Darling, how lovely to see you!
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Oh, wonderful! Oh, sorry, wrong person.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Sorry, I'll do it again. Darling!
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- And there's my darling. Are you OK, Anthea?- Am I second best?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Oh, my God, never, ever.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06And you slept well on the Antique Road Trip dream?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09I did, I slept so well, because I was so happy with our choices.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Are you happy with your choices?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14But I bet you guys had a nightmare sleep.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16We didn't, we had quite a night, didn't we, darling?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17- I slept like a baby.- Yeah.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20One thing is for sure, that we are a formidable team.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Yeah, yeah, well, on that happy note, on your marks, get set, go.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- Bake! Oh, wrong show. Whoops-a-daisy.- There we go.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Sorry! Turn me on again.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44And they're finally away.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48This morning, our dastardly duos are both making their way
0:27:48 > 0:27:50to Whalgherton in Cheshire,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53if Charles can manage the Landy, that is.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Now, if I find... - GEARS CRUNCH
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Third, third, third, third.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- That's third.- Down to fourth. Beautiful.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- And where's fifth? - And there isn't a fifth.- OK.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08So, how did I do yesterday?
0:28:08 > 0:28:13- Well, yeah, it was OK. - You only think it was OK?
0:28:13 > 0:28:18Well, I think miner's lamps are merely a bit passe at the moment.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Are you kidding?
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Whoa, whoa, you say that now but when it goes for £100 tomorrow,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I'll be having the last laugh.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- I'll be giving you a kiss on both cheeks.- Mm, you see.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Not on one cheek, both cheeks.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Just give me your career highlights.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34There are so many. However...
0:28:35 > 0:28:38..Blue Peter was like the university of television
0:28:38 > 0:28:40and just the most amazing programme to do.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43You got a chance to do anything and everything.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47I'm sure it was during your time that you made a Tracy Island.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49- I made Tracy Island. - Oh, goodness me!
0:28:49 > 0:28:52- I've always been a fan of Thunderbirds.- Yes.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54And it was the biggest make on Blue Peter ever,
0:28:54 > 0:28:58and I've still got the Tracy Island that I made on the television show.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- You haven't!- Can you imagine if it went in your auction?
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Listen, I'm available. I'd love to sell it for you.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- No, I'll never sell it.- Really? - No, I'd never sell it.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11It was the actual one that was made on the television programme by me.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15So, how did you get your break? Cos you need that break, don't you,
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- to get into telly?- My break came when I was sort of 17, 18.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21I was working on a radio station in a shop in Oxford Circus,
0:29:21 > 0:29:26- a big old-fashioned shop.- Yeah. - And a TV producer was passing.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30I then wrote to her, she gave me an audition, gave me another audition
0:29:30 > 0:29:34and then gave me a job, presenting a TV show on ITV called Freetime.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35And then the BBC contacted and said,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- "Would you like to come and work here instead?"- Oh, my word.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40So, I went to the BBC and worked there
0:29:40 > 0:29:42for pretty much 12 years in a row, for Children's BBC.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47- What was that, the late '90s?- Yeah, I got my first break in '88.- '88?!
0:29:47 > 0:29:51- Yeah '88. I was on Children's BBC when I was 18.- Oh, my goodness!
0:29:53 > 0:29:58Andi and Margie are first to arrive at Dagfields Crafts & Antiques.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- Ooh!- Here we go. Let's do this! - Let's do it!
0:30:02 > 0:30:07There's 50,000 square feet of collectables on offer here.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Oh, this is nice.- Yeah. - I tell you why it's important to me.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13I just realised it's got my birthday on from when I was 11 years old
0:30:13 > 0:30:16and I'll always remember my 11th birthday didn't exist
0:30:16 > 0:30:18because Charles and Diana got married.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22I wish I could buy it, Diana, but I can't. It's all about profit, love.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Let's keep moving.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Uh-oh, look who's finally turned up.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- They're here already. I don't believe it.- I do.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- And in. OK.- Right.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- ENGINE REVS - I can't turn it off!
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Hold on. There, it's off.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- I almost nudged their car. - Come on, come on!- Shame, really.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- They've got here before us! - OK, quick.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- Oh, my...- Take it all in, partner.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- Wow, I can't take all this in. It'll take all day.- Take it all in.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55It's a little pottery jug.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- Nice, aren't they? - I quite like suitcases.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Yeah, they stack, and people use them as coffee tables.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- Ah.- Here they are, here they are.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16- Oh, look!- How's your day going?
0:31:16 > 0:31:18It's like a walk in the park for us now.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21We're just showboating and my sap's rising.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23I'm keen to win now.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- Oh, yeah, I bet you are. - Look he's going...- My guns are out.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- Come on, let's go!- Come on, come on, come on.- Let's let them leave.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- I need a weapon, just in case.- We'll find something proper around here.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Call me your bodyguard. Follow me. Ignore them.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Less bickering, more buying.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Right, Anthea, what have you got there, love?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47You said to me that an antique's got to be over 100 years old.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50An antique, by definition, needs to be 100 years old. How old's that?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- This is 65 million years old. - Really?
0:31:53 > 0:31:58- It's an ammonite, found in Morocco. - What's an ammonite?
0:31:58 > 0:32:02You find ammonites down on our Jurassic coastline, in Devon.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Are you an expert in fossils?
0:32:03 > 0:32:06No, not at all, but my dad and I used to go fossiling a lot.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- Right, OK.- That's a little picture of him before he died.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Look, his little tentacles and things.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- So, he was like a big snail almost. - Yeah, he was.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16When he was living in that shell and water, 65 million years ago,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- he didn't think he'd be here, or did he?- We'd be staring at him now.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23- He didn't think he could possibly be in an auction in Harrogate.- Yeah.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- You know what, I feel quite close to it. I don't know why.- Do you?
0:32:26 > 0:32:31There's almost a karma feel about just looking at a fossil.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34You might say I'm a fossil, but this is a real fossil. How much is it?
0:32:34 > 0:32:40- Well, it's £220.- OK.- So, we really need to get this down a lot.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43OK, don't forget, bend the knees, straight back.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48I might call him Andi. Andi the ammonite. He might be a keeper.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57Dealer Mark's got the owner of the £220 fossil on the phone.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59What's your best price?
0:33:04 > 0:33:09- 175?- 175?- Do you want a word? - I'll have a quick word.- Go on, then.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Hello, there. Hi, how are you?
0:33:14 > 0:33:16I was told that if you were in a good mood,
0:33:16 > 0:33:20you gave a really good price. Are you in a good mood today?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22He's had lunch, he's feeling happy.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26So, is there anything you could do a little bit better for me?
0:33:26 > 0:33:29I wish you were here. It would be so nice to meet you.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Smooth talker.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34160.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36That would be lovely. Yes.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38My partner is happy, I'm happy.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41I think it's a wonderful object. It's so old.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44If that was worth a pound every year, it would be valuable.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49- £65 million.- Exactly.- If we get that for it, we'll cut you in.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Oh, no, you won't. That's the fossil bought.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- Oh, look at this. Old-school. - Yeah, yeah.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01See, I love this. It's French industrial.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- Yeah, well, so it says, Roneo. - I was trying to pretend I knew.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- It's on the back of the label. - It's on there.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- We all do that, we all do that. - What do you think?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- Actually, you know what I said about fashion in antiques?- Yeah.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- Well, these are pretty saleable. - On trend.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20- I hate the phrase but they are on trend.- I like it but it's expensive.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- It's, like, early 20th century. - Is it really?
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- Mm, it's an old one. - Oh, my goodness.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Nice brass handles. Little bit of damage at the bottom.- Yeah.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31But I've never seen one quite as narrow as that.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34It's narrow which is good. Shall we be brave?
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- Favour fortunes the brave. - Definitely.- To victory we go.- Right.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Right, Vicky, what's your best price?
0:34:41 > 0:34:45- It'll be 110.- Oh.- 110. So, if I was to give you...
0:34:45 > 0:34:50If I start counting the money now and I stop, will you say yes or no?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52So, 20, 40,
0:34:52 > 0:34:5560, 80, 100
0:34:55 > 0:34:58and because, genuinely, I haven't got a tenner,
0:34:58 > 0:34:59but I've got a five.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02I genuinely haven't got a ten, I've only got five, could we do that?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- Go on, then.- Yes! - MARGIE LAUGHS
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Really? Please shake my hand. Thank you so much, Vicky!
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Oh, my God, that's amazing! Thank you so much!
0:35:10 > 0:35:15Do you think he's happy? Filing cabinet bought, they're off.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17This could be our fortune.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19I doubt it.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Anthea and Charles have hit the road again
0:35:23 > 0:35:27and are making their way to Middleport in Stoke-on-Trent.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32- We are going back to the Mecca for you...- Yes!
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- ..which I'm potty for but which, of course, you know as Stoke.- Yes.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38And I just cannot wait to roll on
0:35:38 > 0:35:41and learn a bit about Middleport Pottery.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48Born and bred in Stoke, Anthea has a real love for local pottery,
0:35:48 > 0:35:50so Charles is taking her on a trip
0:35:50 > 0:35:53to the world-famous home of Burleigh ware.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Since the 17th century, Stoke-on-Trent has been
0:35:56 > 0:36:00almost exclusively known for its pottery manufacturing.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Famous companies, such as Royal Doulton, Spode
0:36:02 > 0:36:05and Wedgwood were established and based here.
0:36:05 > 0:36:10Middleport Pottery is the last remaining Victorian pottery factory.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12They still use the Victorian techniques
0:36:12 > 0:36:15to make their wares to this day.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Charles and Anthea are meeting historian Gemma Baskeyfield,
0:36:18 > 0:36:21who's taking them into what's known
0:36:21 > 0:36:24as the bottle oven or kiln to find out more.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Let's hope they don't bake.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Last time I was in one of these, I was on a school trip.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Just fill me in, cos it's a long time
0:36:32 > 0:36:34and I've forgotten so many of the elements of it
0:36:34 > 0:36:37about the history of pottery in Stoke-on-Trent.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38Why Stoke-on-Trent?
0:36:38 > 0:36:42Well, it's, of course, what we've got in the ground beneath our feet.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Perfect clay, perfect coal
0:36:45 > 0:36:49and all the other raw materials that we need to make good pottery.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51And then the industry grew up around those raw materials.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54How long ago was that? How long ago?
0:36:54 > 0:36:57The ceramics industry in Stoke goes back into the 1600s
0:36:57 > 0:36:59in a very primitive and naive way.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01But then that industry developed
0:37:01 > 0:37:05over the intervening sort of 300 years and up to the present day.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09Burleigh pottery has been produced for over 160 years
0:37:09 > 0:37:13and the state-of-the-art Middleport Pottery site was purpose-built,
0:37:13 > 0:37:15back in 1888.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Isn't it lovely? Just like a film set. I do like a drone.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21This place was planned out to be like this,
0:37:21 > 0:37:24so it was a very orderly system.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27So, clay arrived on the canal at one end of the factory
0:37:27 > 0:37:29and then, in a big U-shape,
0:37:29 > 0:37:32production flowed around to the end point,
0:37:32 > 0:37:34where you've got packing and then dispatch,
0:37:34 > 0:37:36either onto the canal for shipment
0:37:36 > 0:37:39or onto horse and cart to go to the local train station.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42I suppose, Gemma, at that time, in 1880,
0:37:42 > 0:37:45it was when the industry in the potteries was at its height
0:37:45 > 0:37:49and this was the most sophisticated offering to date as a factory.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Yeah, to embrace steam power was the crucial thing,
0:37:53 > 0:37:58so, to move away from the, very often, women or small children,
0:37:58 > 0:38:02working machinery manually, to steam powering everything.
0:38:02 > 0:38:07Described as the model pottery of the Staffordshire pottery industry,
0:38:07 > 0:38:10the company were considered social reformers,
0:38:10 > 0:38:12improving conditions for their workforce.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Striving to be at the forefront of technical innovation,
0:38:16 > 0:38:20they were also concerned about reducing waste and pollution,
0:38:20 > 0:38:23modern concepts for the Victorian period.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25It would take 25 different people
0:38:25 > 0:38:29to produce every single piece of Burleigh pottery.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Master potter Jon French wants to know
0:38:31 > 0:38:35if local lass Anthea has inherited any skills on the wheel.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I bet she's "wheely" good.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- Right, just remind me. - Pick up the clay.- Right.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43I want you to feel throw it right into the centre.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46We're going to start off nice and fast.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- That's it, perfect.- There we go. Right.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Nice and straight, and just let it mould into your hands.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56- That's perfect, look at that!- Wow! - Brilliant!- Good start, good start.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57Do you know, I'd forgotten this bit.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00You just pull it up and you push it down, pull it up and push down,
0:39:00 > 0:39:04- play with it until it's putty in your hands.- Exactly.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06You're doing really well.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- It's an amazing pot. - This is brilliant.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09I'm really impressed.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Follow it up, nice and straight.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Anthea, you're really good at this.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- Isn't she?- She's brilliant. - Yeah, it's her heritage, isn't it?
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- How does it feel?- It feels gorgeous.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- Good on the speed, by the way. - Thank you.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- Very good speed, you're maintaining. - I'm in the third gear, OK.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28You're better at that than you are driving that flipping car.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30And then take that.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- Look at that! - And then we have a pot.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Goodness me! Thank you very much.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- There we go.- Bloodied.- Look at that!
0:39:40 > 0:39:42I mean, Hans Coper...
0:39:42 > 0:39:44How much do you think we're going to get for this
0:39:44 > 0:39:46at the auction in Harrogate?
0:39:46 > 0:39:49It's got a lovely ovoid outline, the rim is in nice condition.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- It's modern at its very best. I love it.- It is, isn't it?- I love it.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Nice work, Anthea!
0:39:55 > 0:40:00The pottery industry was once the beating heart of Stoke-on-Trent
0:40:00 > 0:40:03and, although its significance has declined in recent years,
0:40:03 > 0:40:05potteries like Middleport provide
0:40:05 > 0:40:07a vital link to its industrial history,
0:40:07 > 0:40:10while continuing to provide jobs for locals
0:40:10 > 0:40:12and producing impressive ceramics.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Ooh, another drone.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21For their last spot of shopping before heading to auction,
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Andi and Margie have also made their way to Stoke-on-Trent,
0:40:24 > 0:40:25where they're arriving
0:40:25 > 0:40:28at Potteries Antiques Centre.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- Let's hope we get another purchase in.- Yeah.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Look, he's such a gent.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38Andi's still got £224 burning a hole in his pocket.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- Oh, Royal Doulton.- Yeah. - These are Royal Doulton.- Yeah, yeah.
0:40:41 > 0:40:46- OK, is that a local thing?- Yeah. We are in pottery land, aren't we?
0:40:46 > 0:40:50- Does pottery do well? - Er, certain bits of pottery do well.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54What I struggle with is knowing what's old and what's new.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- You don't...- You see, I love this, I absolutely love this.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58That's very nice, yes.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02That style was 200-odd years ago, Louis furniture, French furniture.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05I've got a penchant for French furniture, haven't I?
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- You have, you have. - You see, I love that.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11Yeah, now this is...1930s, 1940s.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- Is it reconditioned? - Probably would have been a pair...
0:41:14 > 0:41:18- Right.- ..on either side of the bed. Really very nice.
0:41:18 > 0:41:24Nice mahogany. A little bit of stringing there, boxwood stringing.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- Little bit of detail, pretty. - I like it. I like it a lot.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- Nice bit of detail. - Would you get this?
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Yeah, I'd love it, but I'm just a bit worried about that. It's £275.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Maybe we shouldn't look for such a high ticket item.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38Yeah, that is a high ticket item.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Unless they were prepared to give us a reasonable deal.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45- Shall we try?- See, I would put that at 160.- Shall we try?
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- Yeah.- That was the face of, "No, let's not try, Andi.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53"You're going to embarrass me." Which means I'm going to try.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- I don't want you to be disappointed, that's all.- We're only asking.- Yeah.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Let's hope dealer Mick is feeling generous.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Can I make you an offer?
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- Certainly.- 20... - That old trick again.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09..60, 120, 140...
0:42:09 > 0:42:10- Keep going.- 160.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14- No, try a bit harder. - Try bit harder?
0:42:14 > 0:42:19Literally, I've got 164. Could I possibly have it for that?
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- Put another 20 on top and you can own it.- Another 20?
0:42:22 > 0:42:26We can stretch to another 20, OK. You're a star. Shall we shake on it?
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Shake on it.- Shake on it and there's the extra 20.- Thank you very much.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31- Mick, thank you so much. - You're welcome.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34- It's a lovely piece and I'm pleased get it.- Yeah.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38A lovely deal done. Now, Margie, what have you found?
0:42:38 > 0:42:44- That has caught my eye.- What is it? - It's a miniature fire grate.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47- So you'd put coal and stuff in there and light it?- No!
0:42:47 > 0:42:51You'd just clean it up. We could get that looking really beautiful.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54It would be like a steel colour if that was all cleaned up.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55And then what?
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Then you'd go past it every day and think, "I really like that!"
0:42:59 > 0:43:02What? Would you really do that?
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Yeah, I would.- How old is it?
0:43:04 > 0:43:08- About 100 years old. - You're kidding!- Yeah, look at it.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12OK, look, you are the expert. I just give away cash on television.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15- You just get a feeling about things sometimes.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19OK, I've got zero feeling about that but it's obviously exciting you,
0:43:19 > 0:43:21so let's go with it.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Looks like a travelling salesman's sample to me.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27Mick, you're needed.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29We really honestly haven't got much money left,
0:43:29 > 0:43:33so have you got a low price in your head? A really low price.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35For you, Margie...
0:43:35 > 0:43:37£75.
0:43:37 > 0:43:41- Mick, can I show you all the money we've got left, genuinely?- Go ahead.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49- Oh!- 40. That's it, that's all our money left.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51- That's an insult.- Oh, is it?
0:43:51 > 0:43:54- Give me your £40.- Oh!- Ah, bless you. - We love you!
0:43:54 > 0:43:58- Thank you so much! We love you, thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01Heaven knows what it is and I'm sure we'll make no money on it,
0:44:01 > 0:44:04- but you've been a real gentleman, so thank you very much.- You have.
0:44:04 > 0:44:08That last-minute buy means Andi and Margie have spent
0:44:08 > 0:44:11every single penny. Great stuff!
0:44:11 > 0:44:14Next, show and tell. I love that bit. Oh, look, more drone.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17Oh, look out for the canal.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20This has been a wonderful day. We're very proud of our wares.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23Oh, that's nice! Oh, I like that.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25This is very fragile, very valuable stuff here.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Oh, a pestle and mortar. Love your table.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32Very nice Victorian mother-of-pearl inlaid, circa 1880, lovely.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35- It came with the ink stand as well. - That's gorgeous. Right, move on.
0:44:35 > 0:44:39- Marvel at our pestle and mortar. - Yeah.- You sure it's an old one?
0:44:39 > 0:44:42- Yes, early 18th century. - Early 18th century, OK.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44- What's on the bottom of that? - We are proud of that.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47- ANTHEA:- Charlotte Reid. - MARGIE:- Very nice. Are you sure?
0:44:47 > 0:44:49- ANTHEA:- We are, actually.
0:44:49 > 0:44:51Why is her name not on there?
0:44:51 > 0:44:54- ANTHEA:- She meant to put her name on it...- MARGIE:- But she didn't.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56- ANTHEA:- The thing is, Andi,
0:44:56 > 0:45:00should you ever be ill and you can't get to the toilet,
0:45:00 > 0:45:03you text me and I'll be over with this.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06And then, if we hear a plop, we go...like that.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09And I thought it would be really good to put your mobile phone
0:45:09 > 0:45:10and your car keys in in your hall
0:45:10 > 0:45:13- and you would always know where they were.- OK.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16- So, one, two, three, four. What was your last lot?- It's on the floor.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19Now, listen. We like to buy history.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21Forget the Jurassic, the Cretaceous period.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23What a lovely fossil. That's lovely.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27Will you stop saying fantastic, fantastic, fantastic?
0:45:27 > 0:45:31- This is not our team! - There is a lot of those about.
0:45:31 > 0:45:35- Oh!- We named it after you. - Fantastic, fantastic.- Just touch it.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38- I don't want to touch any of it. It's our turn!- Come on, your turn.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40This is what we've bought.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44- So, we'll start over here. - Do you like that?
0:45:44 > 0:45:48It's very delicate, Margie. Is on those lovely cabriole legs.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51- It's Edwardian, very stylish. How much was it?- 184.- You're joking!
0:45:51 > 0:45:54- I'm not joking.- You are joking! Have you got a diamond in the drawer?
0:45:54 > 0:45:56I'm beginning to not enjoy this experience.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58- Anyway, next one.- Oh!
0:45:58 > 0:46:00- Have you broken it?- No, I haven't.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03Oh, my... Right, next, we have this.
0:46:03 > 0:46:07It's a miner's lamp from the Portobello Lamp And Light Company.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10- Davy lamp.- Next, we've got this. Do you know what this is?
0:46:10 > 0:46:12- I think that's something to do with stamps.- Yeah.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14It's for using to lick stamps.
0:46:14 > 0:46:18- If the right buyers are willing it on, it could make £150.- Really?
0:46:18 > 0:46:21Nice, good. Item number four is this.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24- It's a decorative little child's doll house...- No, it's not.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27- That's a little travelling salesman's...- OK.
0:46:27 > 0:46:31- And this is our fifth and final item.- Have you been to the tip?
0:46:31 > 0:46:35- Might have been.- OK.- They're not been very nice to us, are they?- No.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37After you were so gushing about their staff.
0:46:37 > 0:46:38Never be gushing about the opposition
0:46:38 > 0:46:41- because this is what happens. - See you at the auction, OK?
0:46:41 > 0:46:44- Yeah, see you at the auction. - Keep the faith. Give us a kiss.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47Yeah, see you at the auction.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50- Marjorie...- Good luck.- Yeah. - Come on, let's go.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52MARGIE LAUGHS
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Bantering rivalry aside,
0:46:54 > 0:46:58what do they really think about each other's items?
0:46:58 > 0:47:00Having seen their stuff, I'm quietly confident.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02I think our stuff's got more character.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05I love that little stamp glass, silver sleeve.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08- So, you think that's their sort of hero.- That is their hero,
0:47:08 > 0:47:12- bought for almost zero. For 30, it could make £100 plus.- OK.
0:47:12 > 0:47:16But they've got one big drop, a huge drop.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19- I think it's the little drawer set. - Exactly.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21I think they haven't done too badly.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23But please tell me you think we've done better.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26Well, let's just hope and cross our fingers.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28You didn't say we've done better.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30This is the end of a fantastic relationship.
0:47:30 > 0:47:31You go that way, I'm going that way.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34You'll notice that that way's into the river.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Even the canal, thank you.
0:47:36 > 0:47:38After starting in Alderley Edge,
0:47:38 > 0:47:42our teams have shopped up around the North-west
0:47:42 > 0:47:46and Anthea and Andi are now hurtling towards Killinghall, near Harrogate,
0:47:46 > 0:47:48for the big finale.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50It's gorgeous here.
0:47:50 > 0:47:55The English countryside is some of the best in the world.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58And to drive such a classic car as well... Whoops.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01Sometimes it's not as fun as it looks.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04To drive such a classic car around has been lovely.
0:48:04 > 0:48:08- With a classic bird driving. - Oh, I love this relic.- Woohoo.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11That's the car, ladies and gentlemen, and not Anthea Turner.
0:48:11 > 0:48:15- Today's auction day. - I know.- Are you feeling confident?
0:48:15 > 0:48:17I'm feeling quite confident because, I tell you what,
0:48:17 > 0:48:20- if it all goes wrong, I'm just blaming Charles.- Yeah.
0:48:20 > 0:48:24- It'll all be his fault. If it goes right, it's my choice.- Yeah.
0:48:24 > 0:48:27If it goes wrong, it's Charles's choice.
0:48:28 > 0:48:32- Ultimately, there's nothing more we can do.- No, there isn't, actually.
0:48:32 > 0:48:36It's now in the hands of the customers at the auction.
0:48:37 > 0:48:38Very true, Andi.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42Margie and Charles have arrived at Thompson's Auctioneers
0:48:42 > 0:48:44and are awaiting their celebrity partners.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46Here they are.
0:48:46 > 0:48:51- In they come.- Oh, there we go. Perfect.
0:48:51 > 0:48:55- Hello!- Good morning!
0:48:55 > 0:49:00On this road trip, Anthea and Charles spent £350.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02They're combining the Victorian worktable
0:49:02 > 0:49:04and ink stand into one lot
0:49:04 > 0:49:08and are also creating a rather peculiar lot from the hunting horn
0:49:08 > 0:49:12and the bedpan, giving them a total of five lots.
0:49:12 > 0:49:15Ooh, come on, Margie, tuck in. Ooh, blimey!
0:49:15 > 0:49:18- Room for a small one? - Whose idea was this?
0:49:18 > 0:49:22Andi and Margie, meanwhile, blew their budget,
0:49:22 > 0:49:26spending every penny of the £400 on their five lots.
0:49:26 > 0:49:29Michael Johnson will be wielding the gavel today,
0:49:29 > 0:49:31so what does he make of our celebrities' purchases?
0:49:31 > 0:49:34My personal favourite is probably the fossil,
0:49:34 > 0:49:37just because we've not had one before while I've been here,
0:49:37 > 0:49:39so I'm just interested to see how well it does.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41But I can see it doing very, very well.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43The stamp moistener's got a bit of damage on it, unfortunately,
0:49:43 > 0:49:46but I still think it will look good on somebody's desk.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48Obviously, it's not going to get used nowadays,
0:49:48 > 0:49:50but it will look the part.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52Here we go. Time for the auction,
0:49:52 > 0:49:54which has buyers online and in the room.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59I'm so nervous! I'm actually really excited.
0:49:59 > 0:50:04First up, it's Anthea's odd lot, the bedpan and the hunting horn.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07Commission starts with me on this one at £20.
0:50:07 > 0:50:10- 25 anywhere?- It's lovely.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13- Yes!- We're a bit nervous, might use it.- Ssh!- Sorry.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15With me at 20. Do I see 5?
0:50:15 > 0:50:18Are we all done on commission at £20? Is that any good?
0:50:18 > 0:50:20No, more!
0:50:20 > 0:50:22Are we all done at 20?
0:50:22 > 0:50:24- Oh, no!- What?!
0:50:24 > 0:50:27Anthea is clearly shocked at the loss. It's all going down the pan.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30That's the most exciting thing that's happened to me all month,
0:50:30 > 0:50:33is watching you lose £4.
0:50:33 > 0:50:38I wouldn't get smug just yet, Andi. Your stamp moistener's up next.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41In the right sale, this is a £100 lot.
0:50:41 > 0:50:42- Is it really?- I kid you not.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45- But this is the wrong sale, is it? - Who knows? Let's wait and see.
0:50:45 > 0:50:49- Commission starts with me at £20. - Good. Sit down.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52With me at 20. Do I see 2?
0:50:52 > 0:50:55- 2. 22. 25.- Yes, yes!- 28.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59- Yes, come on!- £28 with the gentleman.- That's so cheap.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01Are we all done? At £28...
0:51:01 > 0:51:04That's so cheap. Unlucky.
0:51:04 > 0:51:08Unlucky, but thanks for coming. Thanks for coming, Andi.
0:51:08 > 0:51:10But I lost £4.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15It's a bit of a sad start all round, actually.
0:51:15 > 0:51:19- I'm exhausted.- I'd prefer to just buy my fossil myself.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23- That is ridiculous.- I can't do this. This is too much for me. I'm off.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25- This is too stressful. - He can't get up.
0:51:25 > 0:51:29Let's see how Anthea's Charlotte Reid pottery fares.
0:51:29 > 0:51:34- I love this vase.- I do as well. - It's like Anthea. It's so stylish.
0:51:34 > 0:51:38- Commission starts at 25 on this. - Yes, yes! Come on!
0:51:38 > 0:51:42- With me at 25. 28. 30. - Let's run, baby.- 32.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45- Let's run!- 35. 38.- We're running.
0:51:45 > 0:51:4738, with the gentleman at the back. Are we all done?
0:51:47 > 0:51:50At £38...
0:51:50 > 0:51:51Yes!
0:51:51 > 0:51:56That's more like it! A marvellous profit for Anthea.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58- Guys, we're in the money, OK. We're now on top.- You are.
0:51:58 > 0:52:03Can Andi claw things back with his find, the miner's lamp?
0:52:03 > 0:52:07Commission starts with me at 35. 38 anywhere? 38, we have.
0:52:07 > 0:52:11- And 40 anywhere?- Go on! - Are we all done at 38?
0:52:12 > 0:52:14- We're missing a profit all the time.- Unlucky.
0:52:14 > 0:52:18She's not wrong. Another small loss.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20Something of ours will go way above what we paid for it.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22- I know.- I hope.- All right.
0:52:22 > 0:52:27Now for Anthea's Victorian worktable and ink stand. Uh-oh.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29- It's a lovely lot.- Beautiful. - Beautiful, we love it.
0:52:29 > 0:52:32- What are you trying for, the Booker Prize?- I'm praying.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34Who's going to start me off at £20 for it?
0:52:34 > 0:52:36- Come on!- 25.
0:52:36 > 0:52:3730. 35. 40.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40- It's all right, it's all right. - Run, baby.
0:52:40 > 0:52:4160, 65.
0:52:41 > 0:52:45- Let's keep running. Go on, sir. - 65, right in the corner.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47- Are we all done at 65?- Come on!
0:52:47 > 0:52:4975. 80.
0:52:49 > 0:52:5185. 90. 95?
0:52:51 > 0:52:56- No, £90 with the lady. Are we all done at £90?- One more.
0:52:56 > 0:52:58I think we are.
0:52:58 > 0:52:59Oh, I don't believe it!
0:52:59 > 0:53:01We're all just missing a profit.
0:53:01 > 0:53:05- That's £35.- That's not bad!
0:53:05 > 0:53:07Bad luck, chaps.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10Forget cooking on MasterChef, skating on Dancing On Ice,
0:53:10 > 0:53:13this literally has my heart rate at 1,000...
0:53:13 > 0:53:15I'm going to check my heart rate, hang on.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18And you might want to keep an eye on it, Andi,
0:53:18 > 0:53:22as your 1940s steel filing cabinet is up next.
0:53:22 > 0:53:25A lot of commission on here. I'm going to have to go in at £70.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28- Well done.- With me at 70. Do I see 2?
0:53:28 > 0:53:29Are we all done?
0:53:29 > 0:53:32- Commission at £70.- MARGIE:- Come on!
0:53:33 > 0:53:36Well, I don't think that was bad. We didn't have another punter.
0:53:36 > 0:53:40- ANTHEA:- What did you pay for it again?- MARGIE:- £105.- A lot more.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43Not quite what Andi was hoping for.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46- You know when you buy a scratchcard?- Yes.
0:53:46 > 0:53:49And you scratch it and you haven't won anything and you go, "Oh..."
0:53:49 > 0:53:51This literally is like that.
0:53:51 > 0:53:54Next, it's Anthea's pestle and mortar.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59Commission starts with me on this one at £35.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01Yes, we're in business! Come on!
0:54:01 > 0:54:06With me at 35. Do I see 38? There we are. 38. And 40.
0:54:06 > 0:54:0840 with me. 42.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10- Good lad.- 42 in the room. 45 anywhere?
0:54:10 > 0:54:14- Go on!- Gentleman's bid at £42. Are we all done?
0:54:14 > 0:54:17- Marvellous!- That's the most we've made so far today.
0:54:17 > 0:54:21Another nice profit there for Anthea and Charles.
0:54:21 > 0:54:24- Where's the champagne?- Exactly. I'm going to blow it.
0:54:24 > 0:54:29Andi's priciest purchase is up now, the 1930s cabinet.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31Uh-oh.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34Stand up and be calm, Andi. Stand by your table.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37This is lovely.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40Very nice, beautiful, brushed, lovely.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42I've a lot of commission on here
0:54:42 > 0:54:46and I'm going to have to go in at £130.
0:54:46 > 0:54:50Higher, ladies and gentlemen. Let's go higher, everyone, shall we?
0:54:50 > 0:54:53- Who's going to do the first bid? - 135 anywhere?- Well done.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55- Nobody playing?- What?
0:54:55 > 0:54:58With me at £130. I shall sell.
0:54:58 > 0:55:02- High five.- You did well to get £130.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04Yeah, but that's 50 less than we paid for it.
0:55:04 > 0:55:08- We should have bought it for £95. - I should have bought it myself!
0:55:08 > 0:55:10This is not Andi's day, is it?
0:55:11 > 0:55:15- But it's not the making money, it's the taking part.- You say that now.
0:55:15 > 0:55:18That's not what you said this morning!
0:55:18 > 0:55:20Time for Anthea's last lot.
0:55:20 > 0:55:24The auctioneer fancied the fossil, but will the buyers?
0:55:24 > 0:55:28- It's 65 million years old. - Where were you?
0:55:28 > 0:55:30She was doing Blue Peter.
0:55:30 > 0:55:33A lot of commission. I hope it's going to excite you.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36I'm going to go in at £250.
0:55:36 > 0:55:38We're in business! We're in business!
0:55:38 > 0:55:41Oh, my God!
0:55:41 > 0:55:45250. Do I see 260? Are we all done at £250?
0:55:45 > 0:55:47It looks like we are.
0:55:47 > 0:55:49- Yes!- Yes!
0:55:49 > 0:55:51Well done!
0:55:52 > 0:55:55Just look at his face!
0:55:55 > 0:55:58Yeah, Andi's face is priceless.
0:55:58 > 0:56:00A smashing profit, that.
0:56:01 > 0:56:03Our fossil, that little minion we called Andi,
0:56:03 > 0:56:06christened by yourself, and he's flown.
0:56:06 > 0:56:09- You called it Andi.- We did. Andi the ammonite.
0:56:09 > 0:56:12- That's why it's valued.- Exactly. Andi, with an I as well.
0:56:12 > 0:56:15Andi trusted his expert on this one
0:56:15 > 0:56:18and it's his last lot. Here we go.
0:56:18 > 0:56:22- How much profit has it got to make for you to win?- To beat you?- Yeah.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25- Loads.- About 200 quid.- More, more.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28Commission starts with me. I'm going to have to go straight in at 35.
0:56:28 > 0:56:3238 anywhere? With me at 35. Do I see 38? Are we all done?
0:56:32 > 0:56:34On commission at 35.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36- 38.- Go on, Margie.
0:56:36 > 0:56:39- 42. 45.- Good.
0:56:39 > 0:56:42- 48.- What did it cost you?- 50. 52?
0:56:42 > 0:56:45No? £50, seated. Are we all done?
0:56:45 > 0:56:47At £50...
0:56:47 > 0:56:50- It's a profit.- High five! Margie Cooper, yes!
0:56:50 > 0:56:54They got there in the end. A profit for Andi and Margie.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57Come on, team. Let's go and have a cup of tea and go fossil hunting.
0:56:57 > 0:57:00- THEY CHEER - Good answer.
0:57:00 > 0:57:02After you, after you.
0:57:02 > 0:57:03No, after you. It's all right.
0:57:03 > 0:57:06I've been working with three fossils all week.
0:57:07 > 0:57:10Unfortunately, Andi's right to feel down in the mouth.
0:57:10 > 0:57:14After starting with £400, sadly, they made a loss today
0:57:14 > 0:57:18of £140.88,
0:57:18 > 0:57:24but, after paying auction costs, ending their trip with £259.12.
0:57:24 > 0:57:26Nice couple, aren't they?
0:57:26 > 0:57:30Anthea and Charles also kicked off with the same amount,
0:57:30 > 0:57:33but they pulled in a small profit of £10.80,
0:57:33 > 0:57:39meaning they are today's winner, finishing with £410.80.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41All profits go to Children In Need.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45- I still say the filing cabinet should have gone for more.- Yeah.
0:57:45 > 0:57:49I know. And do you know, even I think that, now, even I think that.
0:57:49 > 0:57:52I loved every minute of it, loved every minute of it.
0:57:52 > 0:57:54- It has been a journey.- Thank you.
0:57:54 > 0:57:56- Thank you.- Brilliant. - It's been lovely to meet you.
0:57:56 > 0:57:58Old-school!
0:57:58 > 0:58:02- Big kiss.- Drive carefully. - Off we go.
0:58:02 > 0:58:07It's been a blast but it's time for our celebrities to hit the road.
0:58:07 > 0:58:09Bye-bye.
0:58:09 > 0:58:10Bye-bye.
0:58:14 > 0:58:17I've had the best time, the best time.
0:58:17 > 0:58:20I might have caught the antiquing bug.
0:58:20 > 0:58:21I really enjoyed finding them
0:58:21 > 0:58:24and the exhilaration of watching them being sold was amazing.
0:58:24 > 0:58:27Well, Andi, it's a long way back to London but, thankfully,
0:58:27 > 0:58:29we have the right vehicle for this road.
0:58:29 > 0:58:31Is there any in-flight snacks?
0:58:31 > 0:58:33Oh, Andi!
0:58:33 > 0:58:35Cheerio.
