0:00:02 > 0:00:06We've seen them on TV, but how will the country's favourite antiques experts fare

0:00:06 > 0:00:10when they're challenged to make a profit with their own cash?

0:00:10 > 0:00:12Call back.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15The joy of car boots.

0:00:15 > 0:00:19From car boot sales to auction houses, our experts will be re-creating

0:00:19 > 0:00:23some of their real life deals as they go head-to-head

0:00:23 > 0:00:27and try to make the most money for their chosen charities.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30- Fondle without fear. - Wait till you hear about this one.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33The challenge to our experts is clear -

0:00:33 > 0:00:36dealers, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Today's distinguished dealers are collectables connoisseur

0:01:08 > 0:01:13Paul "Mr Morecambe" Hayes and the irrepressible Mark "Franksy" Franks.

0:01:13 > 0:01:18Franksy has been in the trade man and boy and is always on the lookout for a bargain.

0:01:18 > 0:01:24I bought a Regency writing table for £60, sold it at auction for £8,500.

0:01:24 > 0:01:25It weren't a bad day's work!

0:01:25 > 0:01:32Mark's no-nonsense approach and determination to win have served him well, whether it be trading

0:01:32 > 0:01:36trash to cash, or hunting out hidden treasures on Car Booty.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39His opponent today is a second generation antiques dealer

0:01:39 > 0:01:43who first started buying and selling whilst he was still at school.

0:01:43 > 0:01:49Since then he has grown up to be a well-respected expert and still has his finger on the pulse.

0:01:49 > 0:01:55People always ask me what should they be buying now that will be collectable in the future

0:01:55 > 0:01:58and really the only answer you can give is quality.

0:01:58 > 0:02:04Absolute quality. If you buy the best example of anything you get, it will always have a value.

0:02:04 > 0:02:10Paul can regularly be found hunting for Cash In The Attic, or transforming Trash To Cash.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14Shame one's not big enough for Mark Franks. We could throw away the key.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17So we have our experts, they have the knowledge, the contacts

0:02:17 > 0:02:20and a fierce desire to win.

0:02:20 > 0:02:25Mark and Paul knew they would be facing a special final mission and it's time for us to look at

0:02:25 > 0:02:29the moment they opened their envelopes as we discover exactly what that mission is.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35You want to have a word with your postman, this came for you this morning.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37She leaves all the bills next door!

0:02:37 > 0:02:40"Mark and Paul, your challenge today is to spend up to £1,000..."

0:02:40 > 0:02:44right, easy - "of your own money on antiques.

0:02:44 > 0:02:50"You must then resell your purchases with the aim of making as much profit as possible.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53"The winner is the expert who makes the most cash."

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Right, OK. "This is your showdown," it says here.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00"You can buy whatever you like, wherever you like,

0:03:00 > 0:03:06"but you must sell your items at a special one-off event.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09- "Good luck."- I'm going to need it. That's got the brain ticking.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11You know what? I can't hang around down here.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13I'm going to go up north where I'm among friends.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15- No offence. See you later. - London's calling.

0:03:15 > 0:03:20So in today's final showdown challenge, Mark and Paul can spend up to

0:03:20 > 0:03:27£1,000 each on antiques from which they must turn a profit for their chosen charities at a one-off event.

0:03:27 > 0:03:33So what plans are afoot to win the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is showdown?

0:03:33 > 0:03:37One of my little passions is vintage cars and motorbikes.

0:03:37 > 0:03:42At the end of the day, so long as it's old and I can make a profit, then fair dinkum.

0:03:42 > 0:03:47I'm going to go to Kempton Park Racecourse and try and buy some vintage motorbikes and I'm going

0:03:47 > 0:03:53to scour sweet shop windows, newspapers and magazines and try and buy a vintage car.

0:03:53 > 0:04:00And hopefully if I get enough stuff together I'm off to Beaulieu to sell it. Let's see how we get on.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Fingers definitely crossed.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04I think afternoon tea would be the best idea.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08Maybe charge an entrance fee for that. A bit of a raffle.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12Maybe a bit of a charity auction and things to sell.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15And I think the more bites of the cherry you have the better.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Or the more slurps of the tea in that case.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Delicious.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26So Mr Morecambe and Franksy have very different ideas for their special one-off events.

0:04:26 > 0:04:31Pretty much everyone they try to do deals with will be aware that they are on a mission to raise as

0:04:31 > 0:04:36much money as possible for their charities and Franksy and Mr Hayes will be doing everything in their

0:04:36 > 0:04:38power to persuade people to give them their best

0:04:38 > 0:04:44possible prices when they buy and sell the items that they hope will drive them to victory.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48The Paul-tea-tastic extravaganza will be held at one

0:04:48 > 0:04:56of the country's oldest surviving Art Deco hotels, which just happens to be in his home town of Morecambe.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Mark, on the other hand, will be pursuing his passion and need for speed by hunting out classic

0:05:10 > 0:05:15vehicles and selling them on at Beaulieu, one of the country's leading motor shows.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19And he's going to be doing most of his shopping at the Kempton

0:05:19 > 0:05:23auto-jumble on the outskirts of the capital.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27# I'm so tired of crying and off on the road again

0:05:27 > 0:05:30# I'm on the road again... #

0:05:30 > 0:05:34So Put Your Money's wild one sets out on a road trip around the market

0:05:34 > 0:05:38and with this much on offer, Mark spots a potential purchase.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44So come on, then, where did it come from, how long have you had it?

0:05:44 > 0:05:48I've had it about four-and-a-half-years.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51I bought it as a restoration project and then I found out how much

0:05:51 > 0:05:55the insurance was likely to be on it and tended to lose interest.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58So it's just been sat in my garage

0:05:58 > 0:06:01until now I decided it is time to go.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Does it run?- Oh, yes, it runs. - Come on, then, let's hear it go.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Where's the key? - There's the key.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10That's not a key. That's a switch.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15HE REVS THE ENGINE

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Sounds lovely. Is it a...

0:06:24 > 0:06:271963 250 AJS?

0:06:27 > 0:06:30It is indeed, yes. Well done.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34Is it MOT-ed, is it taxed? Anything like that?

0:06:34 > 0:06:38No, it's been off the road since the 1980s,

0:06:38 > 0:06:42stored in a garage, unused, but loved.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Here's the big question. How much is it?

0:06:44 > 0:06:46£400.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49I'm going to buy that off you. £400, you've got yourself a deal.

0:06:50 > 0:06:55So Mark's got his motor running and he is heading out onto what he hopes will be the highway

0:06:55 > 0:06:57of profitability.

0:06:57 > 0:07:02Running like a dream. It's a bit more exciting than a bit of china, isn't it?

0:07:02 > 0:07:06AJS started around about the turn of the century, 1900, they even made cars.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08The company had been bought out in the 1930s.

0:07:08 > 0:07:13This was produced in 1963, it is a 250 four-stroke engine.

0:07:13 > 0:07:21This bike is 45-years-old, it's in great condition, it starts on the button and it's a dream.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23But I'm out of petrol.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Mark's passion for pistons is keeping him firmly on track.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30BSA trials bike? Not for me.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34With Franksy hunting out vintage vehicles and his rival planning

0:07:34 > 0:07:39the afternoon tea event of the year, I think it's fair to say these two are truly an odd couple.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46In one corner we have the clean-cut and debonair Mr Morecambe.

0:07:46 > 0:07:47In the other corner

0:07:47 > 0:07:51it is our no-nonsense boy, Mark Franksy Franks.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55They're both desperate to win, but which of our odd couple will emerge

0:07:55 > 0:07:57victorious from today's contest?

0:07:59 > 0:08:04As it's their showdown, our dynamic duo can buy whatever they like from wherever they like and in

0:08:04 > 0:08:11a previous Put Your Money Where Your Mouth is challenge, Paul visited a car boot sale in Arundel in Sussex

0:08:11 > 0:08:18and with his showdown in mind he kept an eye out for items for his afternoon tea event.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21Now do you know what? This job never ceases to amaze me.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25I have been coming to car boot sales for about 20 years now and I've never seen one of these before.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28It is a fantastic early Victorian print.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Nothing really special there, but look at the subject.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33It's a very early game of football.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Isn't that amazing?

0:08:35 > 0:08:37It dates from 1864.

0:08:37 > 0:08:42I don't know how long football's been around, but this must be right at the origins of the game.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46This is an extremely unusual item.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48It's an old engraving. So this is a print, it's not a real painting.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52And this has been hand-tinted, it's been nicely framed.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54It's not the correct sort of frame.

0:08:54 > 0:08:58The gentleman's asking £100 for this. I think it's a complete bargain.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02I think this is the perfect thing I could perhaps raffle off, or have an auction.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Or just put a price on it. I think there's a great subject.

0:09:04 > 0:09:09There is a bit of leeway. It's a game of two halves at the end of the day and it's back of the net! Come on!

0:09:09 > 0:09:13Back of the net indeed. Paul managed to pick up the print for £100.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17But he wasn't finished at the boot sale and quickly clocked up another buy.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21You know, I just love Art Deco.

0:09:21 > 0:09:26The whole style was developed in the 1920s and there are a couple of key facts to look for.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28I always think of the Empire State Building,

0:09:28 > 0:09:34the use of geometry, if you look at the way this is stepped, and the effect, and then stylised shapes.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36You've got these semi-elliptical shapes done in chrome

0:09:36 > 0:09:38and chrome again was a big feature of the Art Deco period.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40What a cracking piece!

0:09:40 > 0:09:43These tend to turn up on their own, and these side pieces get missing.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45So the whole thing's complete.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48All I've got to do now is find out how much it is.

0:09:48 > 0:09:49How much is your clock set here?

0:09:49 > 0:09:52- £55.- And is it working?- It is.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56You have got your pendulum, your key and you have got yourself a deal.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58All right. I'll have that. Thank you very much, sir.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02Paul bagged two items at the boot sale.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05In order to maximise his profits, he'll be raffling one

0:10:05 > 0:10:09and auctioning the other at his afternoon tea event.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11What a cracker.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Remember, both our experts started

0:10:14 > 0:10:18with up to £1,000 of their own money.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22So far, Paul has spent £155 on two items,

0:10:22 > 0:10:26leaving him with up to £845 in his kitty.

0:10:26 > 0:10:30Mark has made one purchase which cost him £400,

0:10:30 > 0:10:34leaving him with up to £600 still to spend.

0:10:36 > 0:10:41So, both experts are pulling out all the stops.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Paul is on home turf, seeking out... - Twiddly bits of china.

0:10:49 > 0:10:55This place is huge. I have been here quite a while now and I thought I'd seen this stall already.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Here we are, look at this lot.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09A sea of pottery.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11I'm bound to find something in here.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Yes, it's a porcelain paradise and Paul is hoping to seek out

0:11:14 > 0:11:19the prize pieces and it's no surprise to see Mr Morecambe piling up the potential purchases.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23With that many tea sets, he may need all the tea in China to fill them.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Now this is the Gladstone pattern. It was made in 1900, 1910.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29So it is about 100-years-old. Very Edwardian.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32It's known in the trade as the cigar pattern,

0:11:32 > 0:11:36cos this looks like the ribs you used to get around the cigars, fancy bits of paper.

0:11:36 > 0:11:37I've got a cunning plan.

0:11:37 > 0:11:42What I'm planning to do with these is to make them into trios and sell them individually

0:11:42 > 0:11:47What I want to put in here, maybe I'll have some tea bags, some biscuits, potentially.

0:11:47 > 0:11:52Wrap the whole thing in a satin, a little certificate signed by myself.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55I could sell these as individuals.

0:11:55 > 0:12:00Now this set here is nicely gilded, there's eleven cups and saucers

0:12:00 > 0:12:03and it cost £20. That's less than £2 each.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Paul's on a real buying roll and he's also snapped up

0:12:06 > 0:12:10a set of Victorian cups and saucers for just £15

0:12:10 > 0:12:15and five Royal Doulton trios for £12 each.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17I've got my trolley.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20I have got me lolly to buy these tea services.

0:12:20 > 0:12:25All I need to do now is pack them up and get to this fantastic tea extravaganza.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27I can't wait. The kettle's on.

0:12:27 > 0:12:32So after trawling through a sea of pottery, Paul has parted with £140

0:12:32 > 0:12:37for what he hopes will be a collection of profitable antique tea sets.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41At Kempton, his rival has returned to a stall he spotted earlier.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45Mark's already spoken to the stall holder, but if truth be told,

0:12:45 > 0:12:49the object of his affection doesn't sound particularly promising.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52No service history. No log book.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54No MOT. No road tax.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57No engine. No lights.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00No point in buying it. But there is - it's £30.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Have a look.

0:13:02 > 0:13:07Hello, mate. Where did it come from, what's the story on it?

0:13:07 > 0:13:11It came from Exmouth. It was an ex-rental bike from the seafront.

0:13:11 > 0:13:18So basically this was rented out for children to go up and down Exmouth seafront on their holidays.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22What a lovely story. Isn't it?

0:13:22 > 0:13:26- And still in good nick for a '60s-type bike. - I wish I looked as good.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Now, you said 30 quid earlier on. - I did.- Can you do a bit better?

0:13:29 > 0:13:32I'm offering you £20 and I'm offering you me hand as well?

0:13:32 > 0:13:38No, I tell you what, it owes me 25 quid and to you, 25 quid.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41It's a deal, you're a gentleman. Let's hope it rings the bell!

0:13:43 > 0:13:47So there you have it. For £25, Mark secures the child's bike

0:13:47 > 0:13:51and with it a slice of the great British seaside getaway.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55Mark's having the time of his life at the auto jumble

0:13:55 > 0:13:58and is quick to spot another potential money-spinner.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02Now this is £50 well spent.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Brand spanking new.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07Mr Hayes, I bet your kids would like this and I reckon at Beaulieu

0:14:07 > 0:14:10somebody is going to buy this for one of their children.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Take yourself back to when you was five or seven-years-old.

0:14:13 > 0:14:18What would you have given to have this for Christmas? 50 quid is a steal.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20£17,000. Wow.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Did you buy anything today or not?

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Not tired of this place yet.

0:14:26 > 0:14:30I'm not tired - I'm exhausted. Get it? Exhausted.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Yes, very good, Mark.

0:14:32 > 0:14:38Battersea's finest might be enjoying himself, but he is also hard at work and bags himself two Spitfire wheels

0:14:38 > 0:14:43and a foot pump for £55 and an antique wicker bicycle baby seat and basket for £20.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50Mark is truly motoring through his £1,000 kitty

0:14:50 > 0:14:52and he's worked hard at the auto jumble.

0:14:52 > 0:14:58Our precocious pair of experts have both been spending at a rate of knots.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01But who's been nifty and who's been thrifty with the cash?

0:15:04 > 0:15:09Remember, both our experts started with up to £1,000 of their own money.

0:15:09 > 0:15:14After securing the tea sets, Paul has spent a total of £295,

0:15:14 > 0:15:17leaving him with £705 still to spend.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23Mark, on the other hand, has motored through his kitty at the auto show

0:15:23 > 0:15:29and spent £550, leaving him with up to £450 still to spend.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33With hundreds of pounds left in the kitties, there's all to play for

0:15:33 > 0:15:37as our experts hunt out the pieces for their charity events.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41Now look at this, the British seaside. Don't you just love it!

0:15:41 > 0:15:44It's a bit damp today, but it hasn't dampened my spirits.

0:15:44 > 0:15:49I'm really keen to buy as many items as I can for this afternoon tea extravaganza

0:15:49 > 0:15:54and I have come to an antiques centre in my home town of Morecambe. I hope I can buy lots of bits and pieces.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Morning, how are you? All right?

0:16:03 > 0:16:06PHONE RINGS

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Hello. Room service.

0:16:10 > 0:16:14What's that, afternoon tea for how many? 120!

0:16:14 > 0:16:17I'll put the kettle on.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Yes, 120 people.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23You really need to buckle down, Paul. If you want to win

0:16:23 > 0:16:27today's contest you need to buy many, many more tea time trinkets.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31You know, I think I have found the perfect item for my afternoon tea.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34An auction item. This is by Wedgwood,

0:16:34 > 0:16:37very famous, it is called Jasperware.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39This beautiful, bright, almost iridescent blue.

0:16:39 > 0:16:44And all these figurines have actually been placed on by hand and they are all made individually.

0:16:44 > 0:16:49If I go through every one of them, this is almost mint condition.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53It dates about 1880, 1900, it has its base with it and it's for cheese.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56It's called a cheese cloche or bell.

0:16:56 > 0:16:57It rings my bell!

0:16:59 > 0:17:02You know, I'm absolutely spoiled for choice here today.

0:17:02 > 0:17:09But one item I have come across is a fabulous 1930s Japanese eggshell porcelain tea service.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12And lots of these were brought back just before the Second World War.

0:17:12 > 0:17:17But what's beautiful about these is that they incorporate a litho pane.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Now what that actually is... different thickness of porcelain

0:17:20 > 0:17:23gives a picture and in this case it's a geisha girl.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25I think these are marvellous examples.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28They are certainly things I can sell as individuals.

0:17:28 > 0:17:33We have even got a picture of Mount Fuji and there's ten or 11 cups and saucers and this is £40.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35That's a bargain, isn't it?

0:17:35 > 0:17:39He might have found what he thinks is a bargain, but Paul's not done yet.

0:17:39 > 0:17:43Do you know what, what do you need for a perfect afternoon tea?

0:17:43 > 0:17:44You need cakes and sandwiches.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48So I found these three cake stands here which are very Art Deco.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51This is the chintz pattern, which is close-knit flowers,

0:17:51 > 0:17:55and I seem to remember some company telling us to throw this away, but don't.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59This is very saleable stuff, it's double tiered. This is priced at £24.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02But these two here are £8 each.

0:18:02 > 0:18:07A similar sort of decoration. If I can get the three for a tenner each, it's a piece of cake.

0:18:09 > 0:18:14It took him a while, but now he's knuckled down to the job at hand, Paul is racking up the purchases

0:18:14 > 0:18:17and he's also seen something that reminds him of his rival.

0:18:19 > 0:18:23Hello, Mark Franks. I thought you couldn't make it here today. But you're going to come along with me.

0:18:23 > 0:18:27I'm going to make sure that you work very hard and serve everybody up this cup of tea.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30Yes, that sounds like wishful thinking.

0:18:32 > 0:18:37In London, Mark is concocting a scheme to spend the rest of his cash.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39He's scouring the internet for classic cars.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43But it looks as though he's having a bit of problem with modern technology.

0:18:45 > 0:18:50In Morecambe, Paul has found a real gem of an item for his afternoon tea event.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53I found one really unusual item which is perfect.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56It's an invitation to a dinner dance at the Midland Hotel -

0:18:56 > 0:19:01the same place I'm holding this event - in 1955. Isn't that fantastic?

0:19:01 > 0:19:05What a real piece of memorabilia. A real find. These things are so rare.

0:19:05 > 0:19:10It's got the original menu. It's been signed by lots of the diners. Look at that!

0:19:10 > 0:19:13I think it's perfect for the manager of the Midland Hotel.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17He could put that in the cabinet and show it to everybody. So fingers crossed.

0:19:17 > 0:19:23Having hoovered up plenty of potentially profitable pieces, Paul now needs to do a cracking deal.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25So I worked it out at £248.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27It is, yes, spot on.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28- Could you do a discount?- Yeah.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Would that be all right? - £203 altogether.- That's excellent.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35- So you've saved us 45 quid. - I did, yes.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38They say it's not what you know, it's who you know. Thank you.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Can you lend us a box? - I'll find you one!- Great, come on.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44A dose of sea air really has done Paul the power of good.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48It's over £200 well spent, and with that batch of goodies,

0:19:48 > 0:19:51Paul's got tea-related items coming out of his ears.

0:19:53 > 0:19:57In London, Franksy's search for a classic car has finally come to an end.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59He's invested a large chunk of his remaining budget,

0:19:59 > 0:20:06but I suspect it's going to take more than a few soap suds to turn this investment into a profit.

0:20:06 > 0:20:11I've just invested £350 into this Capri.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15It's just over 25-years-old, and it's a two-litre S.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19It's got no MOT, no tax, and it doesn't even work.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Am I mad? Well, time will tell.

0:20:21 > 0:20:26So what I'm going to do is try and get this up and running, MOT-ed,

0:20:26 > 0:20:31take it to Beaulieu Auto Jumble and raffle it at £10 per ticket.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35So I really do need to sell 35 tickets minimum to break even.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39Paul Hayes, what are you doing? Buying bits of china, bits of glass, boring little ornaments?

0:20:39 > 0:20:43First things first. This motor needs an MOT.

0:20:43 > 0:20:48I've got a 1983 two-litre S Capri, needs an MOT.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50We're clean out of miracles, mate.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52It's not that bad!

0:20:52 > 0:20:55You know I normally bring you nice cars, don't I?

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Yeah, right! I must have missed those ones.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59It was the day off you had.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Any chance of MOT-ing it?- Certainly.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03For £54, we can do anything.

0:21:03 > 0:21:08I'm a little bit skint at the moment, any little jobs I can do rather than paying you cash?

0:21:08 > 0:21:13Well, I'll tell you what, as it happens, the window cleaner has let me down for the last couple of weeks

0:21:13 > 0:21:16- and there's plenty of glass here. - There's a lot of glass.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Is there anything else? I can make you a nice cup of tea...

0:21:19 > 0:21:21- No?- Don't drink it.- Oh, OK.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23All right, then. Er...got a bucket?

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Yeah, let's get started.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32Now, Mark really has taken a bit of a gamble here.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36- Good luck, mate.- If his crack team of pit-lane mechanics can't get

0:21:36 > 0:21:39the car up and running and through an MOT,

0:21:39 > 0:21:43his plans to raffle the car really will be hitting the skids.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47There you go, my friend. Half-hour, mate, I'll be back to check on you.

0:21:47 > 0:21:52- Oh, thanks, Ian.- Just make sure you don't miss anything. - Cheers, mate, thanks.

0:21:52 > 0:21:58Never afraid to roll up his sleeves for some hard graft, Mark sets about his task.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Do you want some?

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Not today, Mr Franks, get your back into it.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Those windows won't clean themselves.

0:22:05 > 0:22:10Inside the garage, Mark needs a mechanical miracle to stay in today's competition.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14Can this friendly garage breathe life into the car?

0:22:19 > 0:22:22Yes, they can, it's alive, it's alive!

0:22:25 > 0:22:27This had better pass its MOT.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Mark's almost finished his half of the deal,

0:22:30 > 0:22:34but only time will tell if the car can be brought up to scratch.

0:22:34 > 0:22:39His rival has snapped up another lot for auction at his special afternoon tea event.

0:22:39 > 0:22:46He spent £75 on a collectable Susie Cooper coffee service, and he's not done yet.

0:22:46 > 0:22:51He's on home turf and has also bagged himself some modern mugs.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53The whole total there is 29.90.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55- So less than £30.- That's it.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56Thank you very much.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59In London, Mark's waiting with bated breath.

0:22:59 > 0:23:05Spanners have been turning furiously, but has his ode to the '80s made it through its MOT?

0:23:05 > 0:23:07- All right, me old mate. - Hello, Ian, are you all right?

0:23:07 > 0:23:11Yeah... It's just as well we're better at fixing cars than you are cleaning windows.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13- I cracked it, didn't I? I done a nice job there.- Lovely.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15- One new MOT certificate. - Oh, what a star.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Do you think I've got any future in being a window cleaner?

0:23:18 > 0:23:20- No.- Ian, I owe you a pint.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23I'll see you later, mate, cheers.

0:23:23 > 0:23:28So there you go, one classic 1980s motor up and running.

0:23:28 > 0:23:34Yet again, Franksy's comprehensive contacts book has come up trumps, and as he's a valued customer,

0:23:34 > 0:23:40the garage have gone the extra mile and done some mechanics in return for some window cleaning.

0:23:40 > 0:23:45With the car now roadworthy, Mark spends his last £100 getting it taxed.

0:23:45 > 0:23:50Now it's ready to take to Beaulieu, where he's hoping it will make him a game-winning profit.

0:23:53 > 0:23:59Mark and Paul were allowed to spend up to £1,000 of their own money on today's final showdown.

0:23:59 > 0:24:05Mr Hayes has parted with just over £600, leaving almost £400 in his kitty.

0:24:07 > 0:24:14Mark, on the other hand, has been on a real spending spree and has spent his entire budget of £1,000.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18With their own cash and reputations on the line,

0:24:18 > 0:24:22it's almost time for our dynamic duo to start selling their wares.

0:24:22 > 0:24:30Paul's hopes of victory rest on... an early Victorian print of the beautiful game, an Art Deco clock,

0:24:30 > 0:24:33several collections of antique china tea sets,

0:24:33 > 0:24:37a late 19th-century Jasperware cheese bell, a clown teapot,

0:24:37 > 0:24:41a hotel menu and dance card, a Susie Cooper Art Deco coffee service,

0:24:41 > 0:24:45and the collection of modern coffee cups.

0:24:45 > 0:24:53Mark, meanwhile, will be relying on a 1983 two-litre Capri, a classic AJS motorcycle,

0:24:53 > 0:24:59a 1960s push-bike, a 19th-century child's bike seat and baskets,

0:24:59 > 0:25:03two Spitfire wheels and a foot pump, and a modern mini scrambler.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10So with their items bought, the challenge now for our experts

0:25:10 > 0:25:13is to try and make the biggest possible profits.

0:25:13 > 0:25:17Mark will be trying to sell his wares at a popular motoring event,

0:25:17 > 0:25:21Paul, on the other hand, is holding an afternoon-tea extravaganza.

0:25:22 > 0:25:27He's chosen one of the country's most impressive Art Deco hotels to host his event,

0:25:27 > 0:25:31and his army of helpers and hotel staff are busy preparing

0:25:31 > 0:25:33for the social event of the season.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40OK, now this is the bit I don't like, carrying all the boxes in, but it has to be done.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43I don't know what you're up to, Mark, but this is hard work.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Good old Mr Morecambe, rolling up his sleeves and getting stuck in.

0:25:55 > 0:26:01Paul and his team are working their socks off, and before long he's ready to start welcoming his guests.

0:26:01 > 0:26:06At Beaulieu, Mark is getting ready for the opening of one of Britain's leading motor shows.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Have a look at that crowd, they've all paid to get in.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16We're at Beaulieu, and these people are dying to spend money.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19Now, do you remember the Capri? It is now MOT-ed.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21I've got the motorbikes, I've got all my bits and bobs.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23I'm hoping to take some serious dough here today.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26These lot are not here to buy tea, they're here to spend money.

0:26:26 > 0:26:32Well, only time will tell if they're going to spend that money on Franksy's raffle tickets.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35But as Paul is selling his items at a big charity event,

0:26:35 > 0:26:40I'm sure Mark won't be slow to push that angle with the customers at today's car show.

0:26:40 > 0:26:46With vintage vehicles of all descriptions now in place and Mark ready for action,

0:26:46 > 0:26:50the doors are opened and the customers come flooding in.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54Mark's laid out all his items, and he's working hard

0:26:54 > 0:26:58to sell tickets for the chance to win the car in his licensed raffle.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01Can I interest you in a raffle ticket? £10 each.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04£10 a ticket. Keep your head down, walk past, don't have a look.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Hard work, this lot, aren't they?

0:27:07 > 0:27:12Oh, dear! It seems as though Mark's charm, wit and repartee are falling flat on this crowd.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15He's struggling to drum up business for his car raffle.

0:27:15 > 0:27:20There's ladies coming, you can always rely on ladies cos they're nice.

0:27:21 > 0:27:27Can I interest you in a ticket? £10 for a raffle ticket, you win the car, all proceeds go to charity.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Madam, can I interest you in a ticket?

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Can I interest you, young lady?

0:27:32 > 0:27:33She'll be back later.

0:27:33 > 0:27:37Put a name and number on there, and I'll get you some change.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40Well, Mark is hard at work, but if his theory

0:27:40 > 0:27:44that it's easier to sell to ladies holds any weight, Paul might well strike gold.

0:27:44 > 0:27:48# Here come the girls

0:27:48 > 0:27:51# Here come the girls... #

0:27:54 > 0:27:58- How mad is this? - My favourite presenter is Paul.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00Cos he's the best-looking one.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02He's a bonny lad!

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Don't tell him, but he is!

0:28:04 > 0:28:08My favourite presenter is Paul, Paul Hayes.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11I'm his mum.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Ah... Well, he's got a face that his mum and,

0:28:13 > 0:28:18to be fair, most of Morecambe seem to love, but Mr Hayes isn't just a pretty face.

0:28:18 > 0:28:22Our canny dealer is charging £10 to get into his event.

0:28:22 > 0:28:26Half of the money is going to the hotel to pay for the food and drink,

0:28:26 > 0:28:28the other half pays for a raffle ticket

0:28:28 > 0:28:31and a chance to win the elegant Art Deco clock.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Now, that is a tea-tastic plan.

0:28:34 > 0:28:40With his assembled guests chomping at the bit to get their hands on his collectable tea sets,

0:28:40 > 0:28:46it's time for Paul to do what he does best - get behind a stall and sell, sell, sell.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Everyone has had a chance to look at these tea wares,

0:28:48 > 0:28:51so now it's time to sell them, so, Mark Franks, eat your heart out.

0:28:51 > 0:28:55Yes, Norman, how are you, mate? There we go, how much is that?

0:28:55 > 0:28:58- That's £6, do have a one by any chance?- Here, just take that.

0:28:58 > 0:29:03Just take a tenner, OK, that's very generous of you. Take that, it's a nice little keepsake for the day.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05Oh, my word! It's a selling frenzy.

0:29:05 > 0:29:08Paul's guests are going crazy for his trios.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10Thank you very much, I'll give you a fiver back.

0:29:10 > 0:29:11Deals are being done left...

0:29:11 > 0:29:13- Lovely, thank you.- ..right...

0:29:13 > 0:29:15Perfect cup of tea, thank you.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18- ..and centre! - Thank you so much for that.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Excellent, thank you.

0:29:20 > 0:29:27Our profit counter just can't keep up as Mr Morecambe racks up sale after sale.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30At Beaulieu, Franksy needs to get into top gear and shift some raffle tickets.

0:29:30 > 0:29:35After a slow start, it looks like he's starting to do just that.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38That's it, lovely. Thank you very much.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40Mark is in his element.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42How many tickets do you want?

0:29:42 > 0:29:48But just when Franksy was getting into his stride, the great British weather strikes.

0:29:48 > 0:29:53# I can't stand the rain against my window... #

0:29:53 > 0:29:58Special effects aside, this isn't good news for our Battersea boy.

0:29:58 > 0:30:03The selling spree that had money pouring into his kitty is now just pouring!

0:30:03 > 0:30:08Franksy isn't a man to give in easily and has come up with Plan B.

0:30:08 > 0:30:14The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain, but in Beaulieu, it stays mainly on my stall.

0:30:14 > 0:30:19I'm going to move this to another stall, where it's got a bit more of a chance of selling.

0:30:19 > 0:30:26I spoke to one of my mates who's stalling out, he says, "Bring it down, he knows a man."

0:30:26 > 0:30:27Worth a chance.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29Mind your backs! Coming through!

0:30:29 > 0:30:32Despite selling plenty of raffle tickets,

0:30:32 > 0:30:36Mark still hasn't made a penny of profit and needs all the help he can get.

0:30:36 > 0:30:42His contact has a stall in a prime location and in addition to the vintage motorbike,

0:30:42 > 0:30:47Mark has also persuaded him to showcase the mini scrambler and the 1960s push-bike.

0:30:48 > 0:30:53However, even if his contract can help rustle up some interest in these two items,

0:30:53 > 0:30:57as well as the classic motorbike, Mark will still have to seal the deals.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Both our experts are getting into top selling gear

0:31:00 > 0:31:05but which one of them is speeding to success?

0:31:06 > 0:31:09Mr Morecambe is definitely on top form in his home town.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13He's sold £290 worth of tea paraphernalia from his stall,

0:31:13 > 0:31:15and has netted profits of £50.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20Mark, on the other hand, hasn't sold anything.

0:31:20 > 0:31:24He's not even sold enough tickets for the car he's raffling,

0:31:24 > 0:31:26meaning he hasn't made a bean!

0:31:27 > 0:31:33So, with the pressure mounting, Franksy is in desperate need of turning some profits.

0:31:33 > 0:31:40He could really do with a break, and it looks like he's got it - in the shape of a break in the weather.

0:31:40 > 0:31:46# I can see clearly now the rain is gone... #

0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Would you like to buy a ticket? - No, thanks, mate.- Please, come on!

0:31:49 > 0:31:53# I can see all the obstacles in my way... #

0:31:53 > 0:31:56It's not a bad gamble, a tenner. A year's MOT, six months' tax.

0:31:56 > 0:32:01# Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind... #

0:32:01 > 0:32:02Go on, please?

0:32:02 > 0:32:05# It's gonna be a bright

0:32:05 > 0:32:09# Bright sunshining day... #

0:32:09 > 0:32:15Earlier in the day, Mark persuaded a fellow dealer at his event to showcase three of his purchases.

0:32:15 > 0:32:19The AJS motorbike, a push-bike and the mini scrambler.

0:32:19 > 0:32:24His plan might pay dividends as a potential purchaser has been found for the scrambler.

0:32:24 > 0:32:28Remember, the mini-bike set him back £50.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30It's just your size, made to measure.

0:32:30 > 0:32:34What's the asking price? I like to start high and go down low.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Really? £400 then. - HE LAUGHS

0:32:37 > 0:32:42So, Franksy is finally getting down to the crucial business of selling his wares.

0:32:42 > 0:32:48In Morecambe, Paul is preparing to draw the winning ticket in his licensed raffle.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52Don't forget, the prize is the striking Art Deco clock.

0:32:53 > 0:33:00The stylish timepiece set him back £55. Remember, each of his guests received a raffle ticket on entry.

0:33:01 > 0:33:08We have, then, the winner for the fabulous Art Deco clock is...

0:33:08 > 0:33:12Ticket number 80. Who's that, ticket 80?

0:33:12 > 0:33:14CHEERING

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Magic!

0:33:17 > 0:33:21Paul bought the clock for a £55 and thanks to a great turnout,

0:33:21 > 0:33:23he's just made a whopping

0:33:23 > 0:33:27£545 profit from the sale of his raffle tickets.

0:33:27 > 0:33:32Mr Morecambe is way out in front, but he's not a man to rest on his laurels -

0:33:32 > 0:33:36he's also been selling tickets at a pound each for a second raffle.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39The prize is some modern crockery,

0:33:39 > 0:33:44and this money-making scheme has banked him just over £200.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50Mark might seem a long way behind, and in truth, he is.

0:33:50 > 0:33:56However all is not lost, and he's working hard to seal a deal for his mini scrambler.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58You have it for 80 quid, because I like you.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01- £60 and you've got a deal. - I'll meet you in the middle, 70.

0:34:01 > 0:34:07- Oh, 65!- 66?- 66... Go on, then.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09You're a star, thank you very much.

0:34:09 > 0:34:13That sale of £66 gives him a £16 profit.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16He's scrambling to make the profits he needs

0:34:16 > 0:34:18in today's showdown challenge,

0:34:18 > 0:34:21but he also manages to cash in on the 1960s push-bike,

0:34:21 > 0:34:26which he sells for £50, giving him a profit of £25.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29Mark might have sold a couple of items,

0:34:29 > 0:34:31but he needs to make more profit

0:34:31 > 0:34:34if he's going to have any chance of beating his rival.

0:34:34 > 0:34:40In Morecambe, Paul has banked more cash from the sale of his Susie Cooper coffee set.

0:34:40 > 0:34:43It's going once... Round of applause, if it goes.

0:34:43 > 0:34:45..it's going twice... Wait for it.

0:34:45 > 0:34:48..and it's gone. Sold to the lady in the purple!

0:34:48 > 0:34:49Thank you very much, yay!

0:34:50 > 0:34:56The set sells for £125, giving Mr Hayes a tidy profit of £50.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03Mr Morecambe is streets ahead in the profit stakes.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07But Franksy is working hard to sell his items at the Motor Show.

0:35:07 > 0:35:11One of his contacts, who also has a stall at the show,

0:35:11 > 0:35:13has found someone who's interested

0:35:13 > 0:35:16in the classic motorbike that cost Mark £400.

0:35:17 > 0:35:21Now, it's up Franksy to try and secure a much-needed sale.

0:35:21 > 0:35:26Sounds all right. I was hoping for a £600 or £700.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28Let's just call it £600.

0:35:28 > 0:35:32With the original tinware, that bike would be worth 550-600 quid.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35Without original tinware, 400 quid.

0:35:35 > 0:35:42- 470?- £400, I can't do any more, I'm sorry.- £450.

0:35:42 > 0:35:4620 - cash. That's it, otherwise I'll walk away.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49OK, you've got a deal.

0:35:49 > 0:35:55You're now the proud owner of an AJS thingamajig.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57The buyer drove a hard bargain,

0:35:57 > 0:36:01but Mark has banked a £20 profit from his classic motorcycle.

0:36:01 > 0:36:05Although the Spitfire wheels pour more money into his kitty,

0:36:05 > 0:36:07he only manages to break even on his two wicker items

0:36:07 > 0:36:10by throwing in a foot pump as part of the deal.

0:36:11 > 0:36:15At the afternoon tea event, Paul's auction is in full swing,

0:36:15 > 0:36:19He's made a small loss of £10 from the sale of his 19th Century football print

0:36:19 > 0:36:23But he's hoping to bounce back as he introduces his next lot to his guests?

0:36:25 > 0:36:29I found this very recently, and I think it's absolutely superb.

0:36:29 > 0:36:35It's an invitation to a dinner dance that happened in 1955.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38It happened at this very hotel, isn't that amazing?

0:36:38 > 0:36:41Who wants to start at £25?

0:36:41 > 0:36:45Who wants to start at 20? 20 we have there, with the lady. 25 anywhere?

0:36:45 > 0:36:4825 I have with the gentleman here in the corridor.

0:36:48 > 0:36:5225, can I make it 30, madam? 30 we have with the lady here.

0:36:52 > 0:36:5535, sir? 35 I have with the gentleman here.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58£40. Oh!

0:36:58 > 0:37:00Anybody else want to come in?

0:37:00 > 0:37:03Look at that, Matt, the manager. Round of applause!

0:37:03 > 0:37:06APPLAUSE AND LAUGHTER

0:37:06 > 0:37:11I'm sure you can make it a round 50, how does that sound?

0:37:11 > 0:37:15So we're up to £50 there. Anybody else want to make it any more than 50?

0:37:15 > 0:37:19It's a great example to have. I think the Midland should have it, should you?

0:37:19 > 0:37:23That's going once, going twice. Round of applause for Matt the manager.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26That's a good result for Mr Morecambe.

0:37:26 > 0:37:30He managed to persuade the manager of the hotel to up his bid by an extra £5,

0:37:30 > 0:37:33meaning the dinner dance invitation returned home,

0:37:33 > 0:37:36and served up a profit of £37.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38£100, come on, round of applause!

0:37:38 > 0:37:40There's more good news for Paul

0:37:40 > 0:37:43when the Jasperware cheese bell, complete with a wheel of stilton,

0:37:43 > 0:37:48adds another £10 to his kitty and Mr Morecambe is all sold up.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52The pressure is now really on Mark.

0:37:52 > 0:37:56At the motor show, an expectant crowd of ticket-holders has gathered

0:37:56 > 0:38:00to hear Franksy conduct the draw for his classic '80s car.

0:38:00 > 0:38:04The tickets are in, I've sold 105 tickets.

0:38:04 > 0:38:09I'd like to thank everyone here who's bought one. Give yourself a round of applause.

0:38:09 > 0:38:10APPLAUSE

0:38:12 > 0:38:15It's time to draw the raffle.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17I've got one here.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20It's a lady.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24Donna Steenvoorden.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Has she gone back home?- She's here.

0:38:30 > 0:38:31Is that your name?

0:38:33 > 0:38:37Well done! Come here!

0:38:37 > 0:38:40How do you feel? You've spent £10.

0:38:40 > 0:38:44- He spent £10!- Even better!

0:38:46 > 0:38:50You're now the proud owner. You've got MOT, and a set of keys.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52Thank you so much.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Her boyfriend looks really angry over there.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56- Husband!- Husband, even worse.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59A round of applause for Donna, I can't pronounce her surname.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01APPLAUSE

0:39:06 > 0:39:07Jump in.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09ENGINE REVS

0:39:09 > 0:39:11- Hooray! - HORN BLOWS

0:39:11 > 0:39:13- What do you think?- It's amazing.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15I've always wanted a Capri.

0:39:15 > 0:39:20- Yay!- Where's the husband? In you get, come on.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24Round of applause for Donna.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28This is mental.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31Honestly, this is mine?

0:39:31 > 0:39:33It's yours now, baby. You'd better believe it.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35You bought the winning ticket. Well done.

0:39:41 > 0:39:46The raffle was an absolute success, and the young lady who won it was nearly in tears.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49It's been a great day, I'm absolutely over the moon.

0:39:49 > 0:39:54Paul Hayes, you go and have a cup of tea. I'm going to get an ice cream. See you later.

0:39:55 > 0:39:57Not only has Franksy made somebody's day,

0:39:57 > 0:40:02he's also made a fantastic £600 profit by raffling off his '80s car.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05So, all that remains now is to tot up the totals,

0:40:05 > 0:40:08and find out how much Mark and Paul have made.

0:40:08 > 0:40:12Remember, both experts can spend up to £1,000 of their own money.

0:40:12 > 0:40:16Paul "Mr Morecambe" Hayes spent just over £600 on items,

0:40:16 > 0:40:18and another £10 on a piece of cheese,

0:40:18 > 0:40:20to accompany his cheese bell.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23Mark "Fransky" Franks spent the lot.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26That's right, he parted with £1,000.

0:40:27 > 0:40:34It's been a titanic tussle between our two dealers, with both desperate to win today's showdown challenge.

0:40:34 > 0:40:40Without further ado, it's time to reveal who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46Let me guess, Paul, your showdown had something to do with a cup of tea?

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Yes, and Morecambe. The combination was marvellous.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51Afternoon tea in Morecambe. Is anything better?

0:40:51 > 0:40:54A nice cup of coffee? I wasn't invited though. What's going on?

0:40:54 > 0:40:57You weren't, but I've got some vol-au-vents for you.

0:40:57 > 0:41:01I was very busy myself, because I bought a Ford Capri and a couple of motorbikes,

0:41:01 > 0:41:04and I sold them at Beaulieu. That's how I made my money.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06Sounds a really good idea. Was it a good day?

0:41:06 > 0:41:09- It was hard work, but we got there in the end. - I really want to win this one.

0:41:09 > 0:41:13You know why? Half of Morecambe turned out to this event.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16- All nine people?- All nine people! - Wow! Was there biscuits involved?

0:41:16 > 0:41:19There was biscuits. I really want to win it for Morecambe.

0:41:19 > 0:41:23OK, you ready to have a look? Three, two, one, let's go! Wow!

0:41:23 > 0:41:28- Look at that! I've been beaten! - Fantastic!- I can't believe it, the tea man has won it.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31So, it's a fabulous triumph for Mr Morecambe.

0:41:31 > 0:41:38Today's contest went right down to the wire, but Paul has walked away with a well-earned victory.

0:41:38 > 0:41:44Do you know, I'm absolutely delighted. I raised well over £800 at the afternoon tea event.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47Half of Morecambe turned out to support it. I had a marvellous day.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50I think everyone who went to the event had a great time.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53We raised a lot of money for charity. I'm delighted with that.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Doing the Capri was hard graft,

0:41:55 > 0:42:00actually getting it ready for the MOT, and all that hard work I put into it.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02I think it paid off pretty well.

0:42:02 > 0:42:06I wish I'd been selling cups of tea now. He's done well, the lad's done well.

0:42:06 > 0:42:11Paul may have won the final challenge of the week, but we're not done yet.

0:42:11 > 0:42:15Our duelling duo have battled it out all week in five different challenges.

0:42:15 > 0:42:20It's now time to find out which of them has made the biggest total profit.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22- Shall we add it all up? - Are you ready?- OK...

0:42:22 > 0:42:24Hooray!

0:42:24 > 0:42:27Oh, you made 500 quid more than me. That's amazing.

0:42:27 > 0:42:31- That was a good amount of money. - I'm pleased. Will your charity be pleased?

0:42:31 > 0:42:34Absolutely over the moon. That's great.

0:42:34 > 0:42:38- I'll buy you an ice-cream.- That's what it's all about, mate. Come on.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40So, he might have lost today's challenge,

0:42:40 > 0:42:44but Mark is this week's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.

0:42:44 > 0:42:48However, he and Paul have worked their socks off and raised fabulous profits,

0:42:48 > 0:42:53and all of those profits will be going to their chosen charities.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55I'm absolutely delighted.

0:42:55 > 0:43:00I can give a cheque for almost £2,000 to the RNLI.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03That's an awful lot of money. That will go to a lot of good.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06So I'm ecstatic it turned out to make that sort of money.

0:43:06 > 0:43:11I made more money than him, that's what it's all about. Two and a half grand goes to my charity,

0:43:11 > 0:43:14the Paul D'Auria Cancer Support Centre.

0:43:14 > 0:43:16I think we both deserve a pat on the back.

0:43:16 > 0:43:20There's no doubt about it, Mark and Paul have risen to the challenge.

0:43:20 > 0:43:27Next week, two more of the nation's favourite antiques experts will be going head-to-head,

0:43:27 > 0:43:30as we say, dealers, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is!
