0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is showdown,

0:00:04 > 0:00:07the toughest challenge our experts have faced yet.

0:00:07 > 0:00:08Roll up, roll up.

0:00:08 > 0:00:14In just 48 frantic hours, our duelling dealers will have to source, buy

0:00:14 > 0:00:21and then sell an entire stall's worth of antiques, testing their knowledge, stamina and nerve!

0:00:21 > 0:00:24- May the best man win. - Yes, I probably will.

0:00:24 > 0:00:28Coming up - a good dealer is always considering his options...

0:00:28 > 0:00:32I could sell them to my wife, but I'm not allowed to. She'd love those.

0:00:32 > 0:00:36..sometimes even the best salesman meets his match...

0:00:36 > 0:00:37Come on, I like a good deal.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41Like a deal where I've been hit hard in the stomach and winded!

0:00:41 > 0:00:46..and how antiques dealing can benefit the special relationship.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51- Here's to Georgia. Here's to Georgia. - You'll have to come see us now!

0:01:04 > 0:01:07It's the final battle between...

0:01:12 > 0:01:16They have been battling it out over a week of challenges...

0:01:16 > 0:01:19- I want to go over there. - I want to go over there, too.

0:01:19 > 0:01:25..to see who can make the most profit from buying and selling antiques.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29That's typical getting carried away in an auction.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32It made 380 hammer.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Fantastic!

0:01:36 > 0:01:42Both Charlie and Paul know we're coming but they have no idea where the next 48 hours will take them.

0:01:42 > 0:01:50It's time for us to find out the details of our two heroes' most dastardly dealing challenge yet.

0:01:52 > 0:01:58It's all happening here today. It's breakfast time, it's party time in the Hayes' household -

0:01:58 > 0:02:02we're getting ready for a big party, somebody's birthday this week.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04More importantly, I have been waiting for this envelope to arrive.

0:02:04 > 0:02:09"Paul Hayes, this is your showdown. The challenge is simple.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13"You have today to buy antiques and collectibles from wherever you like."

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Excuse me while I get a bit of breakfast.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18"Tomorrow, you must sell your items off a stall

0:02:18 > 0:02:22"at the Newark International Antique and Collectors Fair

0:02:22 > 0:02:26"in direct competition with your opponent, Paul Hayes.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29"The winner will be the dealer who makes the most profit."

0:02:29 > 0:02:33"You will find suggestions for places where you can buy your items

0:02:33 > 0:02:37"together with details of tomorrow's market in your information pack."

0:02:37 > 0:02:45"Good luck." I think I'll go to an auction. I like auctions, I'm an auctioneer, that's the place to be.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50Charlie and Paul each have up to £1,000 of their own money to spend.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54Today, they must buy an entire stall's worth of antiques.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Tomorrow, they'll be selling the whole lot in direct competition

0:02:58 > 0:03:02at one of the country's most established antiques fairs in Newark in Nottinghamshire.

0:03:05 > 0:03:10This internationally-renowned fair has literally hundreds of specialist stalls,

0:03:10 > 0:03:14loaded with some of the best antiques and collectibles available anywhere in Europe.

0:03:14 > 0:03:21The boys will be selling to both members of the public and to other professional dealers.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24For The Charmer and The Man From Morecambe,

0:03:24 > 0:03:30the secret to winning this epic 48-hour challenge lies in knowing their market.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Not a problem, it seems, for our blue-eyed boy.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37There you are. No time for breakfast.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39I'm delighted I'm going to Newark.

0:03:39 > 0:03:44I've spent a lot of time there, I've done the antiques stall lots of times.

0:03:44 > 0:03:49Charlie Ross, I know you're going to be all flamboyant, all show,

0:03:49 > 0:03:52lots of interesting props and a very pretty stall.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55But a little secret - that doesn't work at Newark.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59Paul sounds seriously confident and he's got one thing spot-on.

0:03:59 > 0:04:05Charlie and he have very different ideas of what you need to pack for a day of dealing at Newark.

0:04:05 > 0:04:11Plants, which I've been allowed to take out of the conservatory, make the stall look good.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15A big cloth or a table cloth or a form of carpet...

0:04:15 > 0:04:19Candelabra stolen from the dining room with new candles to make it look good.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22I need a bum-bag, these are really important things.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Most importantly, I have some confit du canard.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30In case I get a French buyer. And I need to bribe him.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33What I need is the bare bones.

0:04:33 > 0:04:39For years, I just put things on the floor, not so much scruffy, but good quality items all placed.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42It looks approachable, people can go down and pick items up

0:04:42 > 0:04:44and see what they've got and can interact with them.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Once they've got it in their hand, we sell them the idea.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51Unbelievable! It's like our boys are going to two completely different places.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55Only time will tell whether Paul's steady old-school approach

0:04:55 > 0:04:59or Charlie's desire to look good will win the day.

0:04:59 > 0:05:04- Can you help me load up?- Yes. OK. - Come on, then.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Charlie and Paul must stop shopping by 5pm.

0:05:07 > 0:05:12They will then be driven to a hotel in Nottinghamshire where they will get a few hours' shut-eye

0:05:12 > 0:05:17before stalling out at the Newark International Antiques Fair early tomorrow morning.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24I've got my props, my bum-bag, my tickets, a kiss?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Wish me luck.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29All right, see you later. Got to beat that Charlie Ross.

0:05:29 > 0:05:35Our first point of call, just head towards the promenade, please.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37A strong buying strategy will be crucial.

0:05:37 > 0:05:45Paul is planning to stay local for his first buys. His initial port of call is just up the road.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49I want to buy as many items as I can to make a really impressive stall.

0:05:49 > 0:05:55We'll start at the nearest place to me, which is an antiques place on the promenade. On the right.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59But The Charmer is thundering towards Leamington Spa,

0:05:59 > 0:06:02where his first auction is due to start any minute.

0:06:04 > 0:06:11Strategy number one, hit the saleroom and buy as many lots as possible, as cheaply as possible.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13And then we will worry about the quality later.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17But as Paul is pulling up at his first buying location...

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Let's have a look at this place.

0:06:19 > 0:06:25..Charlie's razor-sharp brain is already planning what to do if his auction strategy fails.

0:06:25 > 0:06:26Shops.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Ah-ha.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32My old mate Nigel Townsend.

0:06:33 > 0:06:39Sorry, I'm breaking up, where are you today? Hello?

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Oh, bother.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Oh, he's cut off.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45I hate this blooming mobile phone.

0:06:45 > 0:06:51Anyway, Nigel Townsend sells things in an antiques centre which is closing in a month.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54So he says, "I've got some fantastic deals for you."

0:06:54 > 0:06:57I wish I'd phoned him first because he is in Winslow.

0:06:57 > 0:07:02Which is in exactly the opposite direction to the one we're travelling.

0:07:02 > 0:07:08I could get him to put some things in his car and meet us halfway. We will cross that bridge when we come to it.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12The Charmer is trying to cover as many buying bases as he can,

0:07:12 > 0:07:16but The Man from Morecambe has already started shopping

0:07:16 > 0:07:23and he is focusing on pieces that he is hoping will go down well with Newark's international clientele.

0:07:23 > 0:07:29Here we are, nice coffee pot - exactly the sort of thing the Italians go for at the market.

0:07:29 > 0:07:34Nice gravy boat. Starting to accumulate already.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37For 20 quid, I've got a nice little selection.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42Little tip. You can see how yellow that's gone. Look at the colour of this and the colour of that -

0:07:42 > 0:07:46that is the nickel coming through, you can see that yellow tinge,

0:07:46 > 0:07:51so that needs to be replated, but it's quite a good style, isn't it?

0:07:51 > 0:07:55That's 24, is there a profit on 24? No, I don't think so.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59Paul has already found plenty to tickle his interest.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02We have got two gravy boats and a nice coffee pot or water jug.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06Nice, clean silver or silver plate, it doesn't have to be re-silvered in any way, it's ready to go.

0:08:06 > 0:08:12And to be honest, the international market, they don't really understand the hallmarks,

0:08:12 > 0:08:16so it looks fantastic, it's very visual and it's honest - it is what it is.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18I like things like this - a nice coffee grinder.

0:08:18 > 0:08:24He's like a little lad in a sweet shop, snaffling up silver,

0:08:24 > 0:08:28gobbling up ceramics and gorging himself on glass.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31He sees potential profit in every nook and cranny.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34There's a toast rack there as well.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37But he's not the only one in his element...

0:08:37 > 0:08:44What good time! We're here before it starts. Saleroom number one.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48..because for the clientele of this Leamington Spa auction house,

0:08:48 > 0:08:53the competition has just got a little stiffer. The Charmer is in the house.

0:08:53 > 0:08:59You have got to be on your toes here. I walked through the door and no sooner had I come through the door

0:08:59 > 0:09:06than I bought this rather splendid chimney. Isn't that magnificent? Good garden fodder.

0:09:06 > 0:09:12I've also bought a little Arts and Crafts wall bracket, very cheap, £10.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15I then bought four colour prints.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Which I have to say I really, really like.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23I could sell them to my wife but I'm not allowed to. She'd love those.

0:09:23 > 0:09:28But I think at £40 for the four, I think I'll get £20 each for them.

0:09:28 > 0:09:33Those auction lots cost The Charmer just under £85 with bits -

0:09:33 > 0:09:38that's the term dealers use for auction taxes and fees.

0:09:38 > 0:09:44And it's Charlie who records the first buys of this extraordinary 48-hour dealing challenge,

0:09:44 > 0:09:47and he's not finished with this auction house yet.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50A Victorian walnut-framed mirror.

0:09:50 > 0:09:5245, 55?

0:09:52 > 0:09:5460?

0:09:54 > 0:09:58At 55, is there 60? 60. Five?

0:09:58 > 0:10:02At 65. One more will do it. At £65, are we all done?

0:10:02 > 0:10:04£70 on that.

0:10:04 > 0:10:05Yours.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Over-mantle mirror.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12£70. I think it's worth a bit more.

0:10:12 > 0:10:19That's lucky, Charlie, because with bits, this mirror set you back just over £82.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23But Charlie's auction house haul pales into insignificance

0:10:23 > 0:10:26next to The Man from Morecambe's antiques centre stash.

0:10:26 > 0:10:31If this was a supermarket sweep, Paul would already be at home

0:10:31 > 0:10:35with his feet up and polishing the winner's trophy.

0:10:35 > 0:10:40Now, Joanne... That goes on forever, doesn't it?

0:10:40 > 0:10:42You've picked a few bargains, there.

0:10:42 > 0:10:47- I've tried to pick things that are pretty perfect, in nice condition. - A lot of silver plate.

0:10:47 > 0:10:54A lot of silver plate - I'm going to a big antiques fair. A few ceramics as well.

0:10:54 > 0:10:59We've got one, two, three, four, five, six pieces of Indian tree.

0:10:59 > 0:11:06I noticed on a couple of them... That one's been priced at £20, then reduced to a fiver. What's happened?

0:11:06 > 0:11:09He's had it in for a while and he just wants to clear it,

0:11:09 > 0:11:14he keeps his turnover quite fresh so he just wants to clear.

0:11:14 > 0:11:20Right, so you've got six pieces, which would have cost me pretty well over £100. What can you do?

0:11:20 > 0:11:24For the six? He'd let it go for £40.

0:11:24 > 0:11:30That's a real bargain, there's a chance of a profit on it. OK, that's great.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Paul has chosen 17 separate items from the antiques centre.

0:11:35 > 0:11:41As well as six Arthur Wood pottery pieces, he has picked up a selection of silver-plated items,

0:11:41 > 0:11:47an oriental blue and white tea set, a cruet set and, finally, this colourful jug.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50This is a Royal Doulton character jug.

0:11:50 > 0:11:56A character jug is just purely the head and shoulders, not a Toby jug, which is the full seated figure.

0:11:56 > 0:12:02It's of a character called Sarah Gamp. And this is very popular, it dates from 1940, 1950.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06And it was £28 on the price tag, so that's a bargain.

0:12:06 > 0:12:12I'm sure it catalogues at more and will be a winner when it comes to selling.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15It reminds me of Charlie Ross, don't you think?

0:12:15 > 0:12:19Excuse me, can we have our blue-eyed boy back, please?

0:12:19 > 0:12:23Suddenly the nicest man in antiques has come over all catty.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Well, sort of.

0:12:25 > 0:12:31Down south, Charlie is more interested in his latest purchase than he is in making fun of Paul.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33He will get to that later.

0:12:36 > 0:12:41So, Victorian walnut over-mantle.

0:12:41 > 0:12:42Decent condition mirror.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Basically walnut.

0:12:44 > 0:12:51Inlaid with amboyna here and strung with satinwood and with ebony.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Nicely carved. Carved top, carved mounts,

0:12:54 > 0:12:58costs £70. See what we can do.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02Charlie seems reasonably pleased with his opening deals,

0:13:02 > 0:13:07but The Man from Morecambe will have to be tied down if he gets any more excited about today's challenge.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10And he doesn't care who knows it.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Ah, Hayes, my little angel, how are you?

0:13:14 > 0:13:18I'm fine, thank you very much, delighted when I opened my envelope.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Wonderful, off to Newark, have you been to Newark?

0:13:21 > 0:13:25I've never been to Newark in my life, so you'll know all the people there.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29- Have you spent any money?- Yes, I've bought a few bits.- Have you?

0:13:29 > 0:13:33What about yourself, have you bought something good?

0:13:33 > 0:13:38No, I didn't see anything good. I went to an auction room where the most expensive thing was about £4.60.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40But I did buy eight lots.

0:13:40 > 0:13:45- I haven't stopped buying yet and I've bought 17 things.- 17 things?

0:13:45 > 0:13:51- And I've spent £17.50.- Oh, dear. I am trying to do auction rooms, but it's not easy.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54I'm sure you will work it out.

0:13:54 > 0:13:59- All the best.- Thank you, caller. Bye.- You're welcome. Bye.

0:13:59 > 0:14:04He is obviously going round the trade, buying things.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08I wonder if I've got the right tactic here, going to salerooms?

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Only time will tell.

0:14:11 > 0:14:15Driver, put your foot on it!

0:14:17 > 0:14:21And as Charlie prepares to step his buying day up a gear,

0:14:21 > 0:14:25it's time to find out what both our fine dealers have spent so far.

0:14:25 > 0:14:30Our dealing duo both started the day with up to £1,000 of their own money to spend.

0:14:30 > 0:14:36Paul has spent a confident £377 on a stall-busting 17 items,

0:14:36 > 0:14:40but he still has £623 to play with.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46The Charmer isn't far behind and has invested just under £320

0:14:46 > 0:14:51on eight showdown items, leaving just over £680 still to spend.

0:14:51 > 0:14:58It's nip and tuck as we head into the business end of buying for our hardcore weekender of dealing.

0:14:58 > 0:15:03And Charlie The Charmer Ross is looking to squeeze one last auction into his day.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Have you finished, sir? - No, 30 lots to go. Don't worry.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15About 30 lots left.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, that concludes our sale.

0:15:25 > 0:15:33Charlie has spent £122.51 including fees and picked up six more pieces.

0:15:33 > 0:15:37One Clarice Cliff jug. It's not the best pattern

0:15:37 > 0:15:40but it's Clarice Cliff and it's not a repro, which is good news.

0:15:40 > 0:15:47I bought these two little cottages because they are reasonably collectible, Anne Hathaway's cottage.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51I would have loved them to be Goss china, but they aren't.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Willow china and the whole lot for £8.

0:15:55 > 0:16:02But a very nice little piece of art glass. And I think that's probably 19th century.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06And if it isn't, it's early 20th century.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09And that was a bonus because I didn't even see that lot.

0:16:09 > 0:16:13For £8, to include a nice little art deco scent bottle.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16So I'm quite happy with that.

0:16:18 > 0:16:23Charlie's plan to bulk up his stall with cheap and cheerful auction lots has certainly worked.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27But now The Charmer has had his fill of auctions.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30No more auctions today, just shops.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33And I'll try and up the quality a bit because I need to.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39Paul is fresh from his buying blitz in Morecambe and has now arrived in Lancaster.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46It's now quarter to three. I've come to Lancaster,

0:16:46 > 0:16:51to quite a famous antique centre, to buy some nice quality items.

0:16:51 > 0:16:57You may be wondering why there's a bull on the roof, have you heard the story about a bull in a china shop?

0:16:57 > 0:16:59It actually happened here.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02Next door there was a livestock market, one of the bulls got out,

0:17:02 > 0:17:05went into here, caused a right old mess.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07MOOING

0:17:07 > 0:17:14Moo! Straight away, our boy gets back to what he does best. And his interest is piqued by this piece.

0:17:14 > 0:17:19What we've got here is called a tantalus.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23The idea was it would go on your sideboard or your dining table.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25And it would tantalise you.

0:17:25 > 0:17:32In other words, you can see it, but you couldn't get in there unless you had the key.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35This little hole here would have had a lock

0:17:35 > 0:17:38and only you or the butler would have had the key.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42So when it was in place, the decanters are impossible to remove.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46So what we've got are three matching bottles, which is good.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49They're moulded glass, not cut crystal, and there is some damage -

0:17:49 > 0:17:56I can feel a couple of nicks around the rim of this one. Maybe the stopper has been damaged as well.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58So this is a restorer's lot.

0:17:58 > 0:18:03It needs a new lock, a good polish and some restoration on the bottle.

0:18:03 > 0:18:08A good quality tantalus is worth well over £100, if not a bit more.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11The best ones have what we call a piano type

0:18:11 > 0:18:15and they have a place for your cribbage board or cigars.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20Let's have a look. This is out for sale at £25.

0:18:20 > 0:18:25I think that's a bit of a bargain, bearing in mind, perfect, you'd be looking at over £100.

0:18:25 > 0:18:29I'll have a go with that, I'll tantalise somebody at Newark.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Oh, and the lad was doing so well!

0:18:32 > 0:18:37It sounds like Paul is feeling confident about his tantalus.

0:18:38 > 0:18:45In Northamptonshire, Charlie is calling in a favour to try and squeeze one last buying location.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Here in record time.

0:18:49 > 0:18:55He's convinced a contact, Nigel, who's having a closing-down sale in his antique shop in Oxfordshire,

0:18:55 > 0:19:02to drive to Northamptonshire and leave a selection of pieces for view at the shop of a mutual friend.

0:19:02 > 0:19:03- I'm fine, how are you?- Very well!

0:19:05 > 0:19:09But he's not the only one racing against the clock.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Customer announcement.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Paul Hayes to the checkout, please.

0:19:17 > 0:19:23- Right, OK, Hayley? - OK, it comes to £162, please.

0:19:23 > 0:19:27OK. I think I have stopped buying and I've still got 25 minutes left.

0:19:27 > 0:19:32I can relax a little bit, now. And I may have a cup of tea.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Well done, Paul.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37The Man from Morecambe wraps up his buying with 20 minutes to spare.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41In Northamptonshire, Charlie is about to find out if his contact, Nigel,

0:19:41 > 0:19:44has left him anything worth buying.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47Talk me through them. How much is that?

0:19:47 > 0:19:49- That's French, I think. - It's really sweet.

0:19:49 > 0:19:53It's quite delicate. That's £75.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54I don't think that's too bad.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56- I like that.- That's a kettle stand.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58That's 75 again.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03And some small things.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06That's rare, isn't it? How much is it?

0:20:06 > 0:20:08That's £140.

0:20:08 > 0:20:12- But they're usually pigs. - They ARE usually pigs.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15- I'm not sure I've seen an elephant one.- And that's dated 1906.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Isn't that fabulous?

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Bit of a scary price.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22The blue vase is a lovely colour.

0:20:22 > 0:20:28- I suppose this is a lamp base, has it got a holder? It's a lamp base.- £20. - I can't resist that.

0:20:28 > 0:20:33Shall I try and ring him very quickly? See if he'd do something.

0:20:33 > 0:20:41If I said I quite like the lamp base, kettle stand, the oak table and the elephant,

0:20:41 > 0:20:43what could you do those four for?

0:20:44 > 0:20:50That comes to, er...£315.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Your maths is unbelievable.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Can you do them for 275 cash?

0:20:58 > 0:21:03I know you did. But you know what a hard what's-it I am.

0:21:03 > 0:21:04£290?

0:21:05 > 0:21:09You are an absolute master.

0:21:09 > 0:21:14I will leave £290 with Jackie and I'll give Jackie a kiss on your behalf.

0:21:14 > 0:21:22Right. That is all my buying done for the day. Take me to Newark.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25And that is a fantastic bit of last-minute dealing from The Charmer

0:21:25 > 0:21:30and the hammer comes down on the buying part of our 48-hour dealing marathon.

0:21:30 > 0:21:35Unfortunately, when he was at the antique shop, Charlie didn't quite hear the final whistle,

0:21:35 > 0:21:41and these three items purchased at 5:20pm won't be included in the challenge.

0:21:41 > 0:21:42Sorry, Charlie.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Both Paul and Charlie started out today with up to

0:21:48 > 0:21:50£1,000 of their own money.

0:21:50 > 0:21:57The man from Morecambe spent £539 on 21 purchases for his Newark stall,

0:21:57 > 0:22:01while Charlie upped the ante by spending just over £733

0:22:01 > 0:22:04buying the 16 items and two job lots

0:22:04 > 0:22:08that he hopes will see him crowned the showdown king.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11And as the sun sets over Morecambe and Oxfordshire,

0:22:11 > 0:22:14both our duelling dealers are heading for a hotel in Newark,

0:22:14 > 0:22:18where they will be resting their weary heads for the night.

0:22:22 > 0:22:27Their vans are chock-a-block with the items they think will turn a profit at Newark tomorrow.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31But only time will tell who's chosen the winning strategy.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37As Paul predicted, the Charmer is first to arrive at the hotel. But in the past,

0:22:37 > 0:22:42the man from Morecambe used to sleep in his van when he was stalling out at Newark.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46So even though he's turned up a bit later, he's still a chirpy chappy.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Oh, standards are slipping!

0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Hey!- They're letting anybody in nowadays!

0:22:50 > 0:22:54- How are you?- Hello, how are you? - Good to see you.- You too.

0:22:54 > 0:22:59- You've even brought a clean shirt for tomorrow!- Do we get a room each? - No, we're sharing a room.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Come off to the bar with me...

0:23:01 > 0:23:04With their buying done, our two heroes call a temporary truce

0:23:04 > 0:23:07and head for some well-earned refreshment.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09But relations won't be quite so cordial tomorrow,

0:23:09 > 0:23:15when they need to sell everything they bought today at the antiques fair in Newark.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18May the best man win.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20You must be joking!

0:23:20 > 0:23:24Because I think that can't be true, because I suspect that you'll win!

0:23:24 > 0:23:28Coming up - Paul gets back to dealing basics.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31The first thing I'll do, Charlie, is get rid of this table.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34And Charlie discovers it's not so easy.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37I can't get people in here, that's the main problem.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39They tend to walk past.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46It's first thing in the morning here at Newark antiques market,

0:23:46 > 0:23:50and the traders are preparing for one of the biggest days in the UK antiques calendar.

0:23:53 > 0:23:58Our brave boys know that over the next eight hours, they face their biggest challenge yet -

0:23:58 > 0:24:02trying to sell to Newark's legion of private buyers and profit-hungry dealers.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07I don't know whether to put my table out or leave it in here.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10The first thing to do, Charlie, is get rid of this table.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12- You can't sell without a table! - There's method in my madness.

0:24:12 > 0:24:18- Where are you going to put it? - I've got a unique method of selling. - Have you got a magic carpet?- Yep.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20Oh, you're reducing the quality of the area.

0:24:20 > 0:24:24- That's my shop front, so let's see what happens.- Oh, dear!

0:24:24 > 0:24:29I need to get my nice silk damask tablecloth into action.

0:24:31 > 0:24:37Already, our boys are taking totally different approaches to the way they're setting out their wares,

0:24:37 > 0:24:43but which one of them has judged this market and its clientele most accurately?

0:24:43 > 0:24:47- The decorative award goes to C Ross. - Charlie's got a good strategy there,

0:24:47 > 0:24:50he's gone for the very posh look. I've gone for the dealer's market -

0:24:50 > 0:24:52that's what this place is full of, dealers.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Gentlemen, it's time to reveal your stalls.

0:25:04 > 0:25:10Newark old hand Paul is convinced that his informal, ground-level display will lure in the buyers.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Just as his rival predicted, the Charmer has gone for

0:25:14 > 0:25:19the upmarket look, displaying his pieces in a classic table top array.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23It all comes down to this - Oxfordshire's finest gent against

0:25:23 > 0:25:27Morecambe's man of the people in their final showdown.

0:25:27 > 0:25:32- I like your stall there, Charlie, looking good.- May the best man win. - Yes, I probably will. Ha!

0:25:33 > 0:25:40And guess what? It's the Newark new boy who's first to get some interest - in his 12 colour prints.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43- 80, is that for the whole lot, sir? What do you think?- 85.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46There's 80. Have you got a fiver?

0:25:46 > 0:25:50If you've only got pound coins, I'll take 84.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53Oh, that's 84! You're an absolute...

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Thank you very much, madam. Thank you, sir.

0:25:58 > 0:26:04£84, that's a profit of just under £37, and a cracking start for the Charmer.

0:26:04 > 0:26:10And he increases his early lead when he sells a watch from one of his job lots for £15.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12£15, sir, done.

0:26:12 > 0:26:17But then, the man from Morecambe bursts into the selling action.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23First to go is his silver-plated claret jug for £25.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26That will be 25 if you want it. That's lovely, thank you very much.

0:26:26 > 0:26:31And just as the interest starts to dry up for Charlie, Paul gets on a selling roll.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34First to be snapped up, his Poole pottery barrel.

0:26:34 > 0:26:38Erm, that one can be...30 quid.

0:26:38 > 0:26:39OK, that's good.

0:26:39 > 0:26:44Then, his Derby jug more than doubles its money when he sells it for £20.

0:26:44 > 0:26:48- What's the best price you can do me? - How about 20 quid?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50That's a little memory of today, and meeting me.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Yeah, take care.- All the best. Cheers, mate, bye now.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56Another silver piece goes next.

0:26:56 > 0:27:01£24 just for you. 50% discount, just because you've got a green jacket on.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03That's an absolute bargain.

0:27:03 > 0:27:04You won't go no lower?

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Erm, how low do you want me to go?

0:27:07 > 0:27:12- Ha-ha! We'll say 20.- OK, that's lovely, thank you very much.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Paul certainly seems to speak this market's language.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17The buyers love him!

0:27:17 > 0:27:21I couldn't imagine me putting a posh thing out like that...

0:27:21 > 0:27:25I would be disappointed if I came to your house and you didn't.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27He's like a sort of selling machine!

0:27:27 > 0:27:29£15 and we'll have a deal.

0:27:29 > 0:27:33I will let you into a little secret here, it's cost me 16, so I can't work on losses.

0:27:33 > 0:27:3518 quid and we'll have a deal.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Go on, then. - We'll shake on that, shall we?

0:27:38 > 0:27:44The man from Morecambe has slammed down the gauntlet, and Roscoe is starting to feel the pressure.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47He's selling all his stuff, I'm a bit worried about Morecambe.

0:27:47 > 0:27:52Morecambe is taking the dosh, he keeps going into his little pouch and pulling out change for people.

0:27:52 > 0:27:57I can't get people in here, that's the main problem, they tend to walk past.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Perhaps that says something about the quality of my stock.

0:28:00 > 0:28:06Well, it's a bit late to be worrying about that, Charlie old boy, because Paul is about to realise

0:28:06 > 0:28:11his international sales strategy by targeting this Dutch couple with his silver-plated teapot.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14That's really nice, lovely condition.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17- I only ever buy things which are in really nice condition.- Yeah.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21And that dates maybe 1910, 1920?

0:28:21 > 0:28:24- That is so neat.- Yes, we buy it. - It's a bargain. Thank you very much.

0:28:24 > 0:28:28- How do you say thank you in Holland? - Dank u wel.

0:28:28 > 0:28:34It looks like Paul has pinched his rival's charm, and our Charlie is struggling to get a bite.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37Can I tempt you to anything on my stall?

0:28:37 > 0:28:40Any of the ladies? Come round my stall and have a look.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42If you don't look, you can't spend anything.

0:28:42 > 0:28:49But a man of Charlie's character never gives up, and he finally gets some interest in his scent bottle.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51It looks so typically Art Deco.

0:28:51 > 0:28:55- For five quid, it's neither here nor there.- I'll have it.- Well done.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58His orange toilet jug and bowl are up next.

0:28:58 > 0:29:0010 quid, if you want it.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02- Can I have the lot? - You certainly can.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05I've just offered it to a lady and a gentleman.

0:29:05 > 0:29:09It's Edwardian, I should think it's 1910.

0:29:09 > 0:29:13- Done.- Done. 10 quid, sold to the lady in the corner.

0:29:13 > 0:29:17£10, keep them coming, Charlie, strike while the interest is there!

0:29:17 > 0:29:20- How much do you want for the whole lot?- Oh, my goodness me.

0:29:20 > 0:29:24I'll take £40 for the lot.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27- OK.- Well done. Thank you, my dear.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29Now, things are really spicing up.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Paul is lining up another sale.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34- Isn't that lovely? - I'll give you £40 for it.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37Come on, I like a good deal.

0:29:38 > 0:29:43I like a deal, but I don't like being hit hard in the stomach, and winded.

0:29:43 > 0:29:45- Lovely.- Can't do 45.

0:29:45 > 0:29:4945? £42.50.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52All right, shall we have that for £42.50?

0:29:52 > 0:29:58The buyers love our blue-eyed boy, but Charlie's back on top selling form,

0:29:58 > 0:30:02charming some interest in his table from these ladies, all the way from the US of A.

0:30:02 > 0:30:07- I would sell it to you for 100 quid, special offer.- It's nice. I like it.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09I mean, it can't be expensive for that.

0:30:09 > 0:30:15It's in jolly good order, it's definitely got age, it's not a repro or anything like that.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18And it's got this super frieze to it.

0:30:18 > 0:30:20It cost me £75, my dear.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22Make it 25 quid.

0:30:22 > 0:30:26IN AMERICAN ACCENT: I love you the way you say "25 quid"!

0:30:26 > 0:30:31Oh, Charlie, you say all the right things, you old charmer!

0:30:31 > 0:30:35- Done.- Madam, mwah! Here's to Georgia.

0:30:35 > 0:30:39- You'll have to come and see us. - I would love to. - We've got a lovely antique shop.

0:30:39 > 0:30:43- There's a lovely song, Georgia On My Mind.- Yes, that's right.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46Ah, it seems these Georgia ladies just can't get enough.

0:30:46 > 0:30:53# Georgia, Georgia... #

0:30:55 > 0:30:58- I love the chimney. - You can have it for 35 quid.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00It would look great with plants in it.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02How about 30?

0:31:02 > 0:31:05- 30, sold. - All right, we'll have that, too.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07Good, that's the way to do business.

0:31:07 > 0:31:12Charlie Ross, ladies and gentlemen - charmer, heartbreaker, deal-doer.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18Paul is furiously trying to line up a sale of his own.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22I'll do them for 40 quid the pair,

0:31:22 > 0:31:25- and that's a fiver - how does that sound?- It's a deal.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27- OK.- Sounds good to me. I think they're wonderful,

0:31:27 > 0:31:31I've never seen anything like them. I wish you all the best.

0:31:31 > 0:31:35£45 to Paul, but Charlie is matching him every step of the way.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39He's just sold his Victorian walnut-framed mirror for £90.

0:31:39 > 0:31:44No, that's fine. OK, thank you very much indeed, bye-bye.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46Onwards and upwards.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48And I have got...

0:31:48 > 0:31:52le veritable stack of cash here.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54But I still haven't broken even.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56More sales needed.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58That's the spirit, Charlie!

0:31:58 > 0:32:02This showdown is turning into a titanic tussle.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04The man from Morecambe came hurtling off the blocks.

0:32:04 > 0:32:09So far he's sold 10 items, and he's made £225.50.

0:32:09 > 0:32:15But he's got another £313.50 to make before he breaks into profit.

0:32:15 > 0:32:17With steely determination,

0:32:17 > 0:32:20the Charmer has been making up for a desperately slow start.

0:32:20 > 0:32:24He's sold 14 items and made £369.

0:32:24 > 0:32:30So he's got to make another £364.45 before he breaks into profit.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36Our brave boys know they need to pull out all the stops,

0:32:36 > 0:32:42as they enter the final phase of this epic challenge, and the Charmer is making his presence felt.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45Roll up, roll up, roll up for Roscoe's snips.

0:32:45 > 0:32:51I thought that might work. But actually it probably drives people away.

0:32:51 > 0:32:57Well, Charlie's certainly doing something right, because he's lined up the sale of his silver elephant.

0:32:57 > 0:32:59- 140 quid, sir?- Yeah, that's fine.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02There we go, you have my elephant, I'll have your money.

0:33:05 > 0:33:08Well, again, it's a tiny profit, but it's such a lovely thing,

0:33:08 > 0:33:12and I'm losing the confidence in things at this time of day.

0:33:12 > 0:33:17Oh, stay strong, Charlie - believe, and the buyers will come.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21- Right, chaps, we've got that, that and that.- Yep.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23- And those.- Yep.

0:33:23 > 0:33:27- 40 quid the whole lot, because that's all you've got, isn't it?- It is!

0:33:27 > 0:33:29THEY LAUGH

0:33:29 > 0:33:33I think you've cemented me into a substantial loss there.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35But you've been my best customer today.

0:33:35 > 0:33:39Yes, good work, Charlie, eight pieces sold for £40.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41Watch out, Mr Morecambe.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44Sometimes you have to think outside the box.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46I've got a bit of a lull in traffic at the minute,

0:33:46 > 0:33:51so I'm going to take my lovely silver cruet and my pistol-grip silver handles

0:33:51 > 0:33:53and see if I can sell them on the move.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55Do you want to come?

0:33:55 > 0:33:57Oh, we surely do, Paul, go for it.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00- How are you doing? Good to see you. - Thank you very much.

0:34:00 > 0:34:03Are they the sort of thing that you'd be interested in?

0:34:03 > 0:34:06- Erm, it depends on the money. - Well, about 110 for the lot.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08- No, thank you.- Not even for these?

0:34:08 > 0:34:09No, thank you.

0:34:09 > 0:34:14Paul's got his work cut out here - this dealer is only interested in this set of knives.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16I'll buy them off you for £30.

0:34:16 > 0:34:19£30... That's a fiver a handle, isn't it? Can't you go 35?

0:34:19 > 0:34:23- If they were silver-plated, I would give you a bit more.- 32, then?

0:34:23 > 0:34:26- All right.- Good man.

0:34:26 > 0:34:30£32 is a loss for Paul of £5.

0:34:30 > 0:34:35And Paul's not the only one who's abandoning his stall in the hunt for profit.

0:34:35 > 0:34:41There's a gentleman along here who had been looking at this, wanting to know a bit more about it.

0:34:41 > 0:34:45And frankly, if he's not coming to me, I will go to him.

0:34:45 > 0:34:50I've got to the stage of this time of day, where I've got to start getting rid of everything.

0:34:50 > 0:34:54- I'm nearly sold out, I've got a couple of things left. - You've done very well, haven't you?

0:34:54 > 0:34:57I have. I'll sell it to you for 90 quid if you want.

0:34:57 > 0:34:59I'd rather give you 75 for it.

0:34:59 > 0:35:03- That's what I paid.- Is it?- Give me a tenner on it, give me 85 quid.- OK.

0:35:03 > 0:35:08Well done, Charlie, a £10 profit could make all the difference.

0:35:08 > 0:35:12Paul is back on the move, and this time it's his tantalus that he wants to offload.

0:35:12 > 0:35:17Now, this morning, your good lady wife was looking at this tantalus.

0:35:17 > 0:35:22One of the bottles is damaged, but it's not worth anything to you as a frame or...?

0:35:22 > 0:35:24Not for me, but thank you for the offer.

0:35:24 > 0:35:29- Not even at a fabulous price? - It would have to be so fabulous that you'd have to be paying me.

0:35:29 > 0:35:33That dealer might not be interested in the tantalus, but someone else is,

0:35:33 > 0:35:40and a mystery lady snapped it up out of Paul's hands for £20 before disappearing into the crowd.

0:35:40 > 0:35:44There we go, a lady has just given me £20. See what's happened there?

0:35:44 > 0:35:49I wandered over to the stall, asked the gentleman for £20, the lady overheard and came over,

0:35:49 > 0:35:52she's a bit shy, she's given me £20. Thank you very much!

0:35:52 > 0:35:58Next, our Morecambe boy gets some interest in some pieces from his blue-and-white tea set.

0:35:58 > 0:36:0520 quid. Lovely, thank you very much. Have a look at the other bits, while you get your money ready.

0:36:05 > 0:36:11Ah, clever. Paul uses the old dealer's tactic of leaving your buyer to ponder your pieces.

0:36:11 > 0:36:15- Two saucers...- Two saucers...

0:36:15 > 0:36:17The breakfast cup...

0:36:17 > 0:36:19And it's paid off, as Paul nets £30.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22Is that all right with you? Smashing, thank you.

0:36:22 > 0:36:28With the market starting to wind down, Charlie is desperate to offload his last remaining pieces.

0:36:28 > 0:36:32Well, here it is. If I'd said at the beginning of the day,

0:36:32 > 0:36:35"What are the last two things I'll have left in the world?",

0:36:35 > 0:36:41it would be that damn wall bracket thing, which I'm frankly going to put in a bin, and my menus.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43There's always something you regret.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45And of course, my costume jewellery.

0:36:45 > 0:36:50But, at a pound an hour, in another three weeks, I'd have sold the lot, so it's not too bad.

0:36:50 > 0:36:55I'm going to go walk about with these three things, and then I'm nearly there.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58And it's not long before he finds a buyer for his chain...

0:36:58 > 0:37:02- I'll give you £8 for it, I've got to leave myself something. - Eight quid. Sold.- OK, done.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04To the man in the corner.

0:37:04 > 0:37:07And then a buyer for his lamp base...

0:37:07 > 0:37:1035 quid, yours for 20 quid, now.

0:37:10 > 0:37:1320, come on.

0:37:13 > 0:37:1520 quid.

0:37:15 > 0:37:17Yeah! 20 quid's all right.

0:37:17 > 0:37:21He's getting there, but Paul is hot on his heels, and he's found another

0:37:21 > 0:37:24pair of international buyers, this time from Oz.

0:37:24 > 0:37:26What happened to all the sunshine?

0:37:26 > 0:37:28I think you must have kept it in Australia.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31How about 65 quid and the cake stand?

0:37:31 > 0:37:32That is an absolute bargain.

0:37:32 > 0:37:36- Actually, yeah, OK.- Fantastic.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39I'll tell you what, come into my office, and I'll find you some paper.

0:37:39 > 0:37:45That's another £65 to Mr Hayes for his cake stand and cruet sets.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48All the best now. Thank you. Don't get too wet now.

0:37:48 > 0:37:55As this market hurtles towards its conclusion, our boys are now focused on offloading whatever they can.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58Paul sells his Indian tree-design pot.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01- I can do you that for 15. - Take a tenner?

0:38:01 > 0:38:05Well, there's a saying, one bid is worth a thousand lookers-on.

0:38:05 > 0:38:12Charlie has sold his wooden wall shelf for just £2, and he's got some interest in his Clarice Cliff jug.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14Hiya, do you want to take 15 for that?

0:38:14 > 0:38:17- Do I want to take 15 for it?- Yeah.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19It cost 35 quid.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21I'll have it for 15.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24It's 1:50pm, everybody's going home.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26- 15, then?- Sold, sir.

0:38:26 > 0:38:31Cheered by his success, Charlie goes on to sell his costume jewellery for £20.

0:38:32 > 0:38:36You've been my absolute godsend today, my dear.

0:38:36 > 0:38:39- Godsend!- You have. - Don't know about that.- £20.

0:38:39 > 0:38:43And he homes in on a buyer for his menus and programmes.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46Thank you very much, my dear. Bye-bye.

0:38:46 > 0:38:51Well, there we are. We have finished two solid days' work

0:38:51 > 0:38:55with taking a pound, but I've got nothing left to sell.

0:38:55 > 0:38:56Well done, the Charmer.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00Your opponent will surely be delighted.

0:39:00 > 0:39:04- I've got nothing left. I've sold the lot. - You've got nothing? Nothing?!

0:39:04 > 0:39:06But I've got one problem. Go on.

0:39:06 > 0:39:11I've got so much money in my back pocket, walking is incredibly difficult.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13Don't feel guilty for me now, will you?

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Oh, dear.

0:39:15 > 0:39:20With the market emptying around him, Paul is sitting in the last-chance saloon.

0:39:20 > 0:39:27# All by myself

0:39:27 > 0:39:33# Don't want to be all by myself... #

0:39:33 > 0:39:36Ah, but perhaps all is not lost.

0:39:36 > 0:39:41I'll make it a tenner, and I'll throw you in two cups to go with it, just for you two.

0:39:41 > 0:39:45- With the saucers?- What you've got is a ready-made coffee set. Shall we shake on that?

0:39:45 > 0:39:47- Goodbye.- Lovely to meet you.

0:39:47 > 0:39:51I'm delighted with my performance today.

0:39:51 > 0:39:55Most of all, I've proved that I can still do it, my strategy has worked to a tee,

0:39:55 > 0:39:57I've sold loads and loads of items,

0:39:57 > 0:40:01I made a good profit, and hopefully I've beaten that Charlie Ross.

0:40:01 > 0:40:04Well, it has been a steep learning curve.

0:40:04 > 0:40:10The buying was hard, the selling of course started really easily and got harder and harder as the day went on,

0:40:10 > 0:40:12and I took some losses at the end.

0:40:12 > 0:40:18But I've made an overall profit, and I've got nothing to take home with me, except a load of cash.

0:40:18 > 0:40:25And with that, it's time to tot up the totals and find out exactly how much our dynamic duo have made.

0:40:28 > 0:40:33The man from Morecambe spent £539 on 21 purchases.

0:40:34 > 0:40:38While Charlie forked out just over £733,

0:40:38 > 0:40:41buying 16 items and two job lots.

0:40:41 > 0:40:48So, at last, it's time to reveal just how much profit our boys have made in today's showdown.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51It's over! It's all over!

0:40:51 > 0:40:52- Have you recovered?- Only just!

0:40:52 > 0:40:57Do you know what? Over the course of the day, I ended up selling things for a little bit of a loss.

0:40:57 > 0:41:02A LITTLE bit of a loss?! I went running round the fair, selling things to anybody!

0:41:02 > 0:41:03Yeah, but you sold the whole lot.

0:41:03 > 0:41:08At any price I did, but my final coup de grace was selling something for a pound that had cost 18.

0:41:08 > 0:41:12- OK, so, this could be quite close, then?- It wasn't all roses.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14All right, shall we see how we got on?

0:41:14 > 0:41:18- Yeah, go on, count it down. - Three, two, one...

0:41:20 > 0:41:22You swine!

0:41:22 > 0:41:25So, it's victory for Charlie today.

0:41:25 > 0:41:32Over a week of challenges, our boys have been battling against each other in the quest for profit.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34It's now time to find out who is this week's overall champion.

0:41:34 > 0:41:38- Go on, count it down again. - Three, two, one...

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Oh! Well done! That's amazing.

0:41:42 > 0:41:48- Mr Morecambe, how close is that? - Congratulations, mate, that's fantastic.- Absolutely amazing.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50And our charities have done pretty well.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52Brilliant. Well done, mate.

0:41:52 > 0:41:53Put it here.

0:41:53 > 0:41:57- You're a good man.- So are you, Charlie. Can you give me any tips?

0:41:57 > 0:42:00So, it's an overall victory for the Charmer.

0:42:00 > 0:42:04Both our boys have made good profits, and every penny they've made

0:42:04 > 0:42:07will be going to their chosen charities.

0:42:07 > 0:42:12I've managed over the entire week to make almost £900 for the Derian House Children's Hospice.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15I'm delighted with that, and they're the real winners.

0:42:15 > 0:42:21My charity, the National Society For Epilepsy, and I'm going to be giving them well over £1,000.

0:42:21 > 0:42:25And who knows, with a little more help and tuition

0:42:25 > 0:42:30from my good friend Mr Morecambe, one day I might just make a dealer.

0:42:31 > 0:42:35Well, after a week of no-holds-barred combat,

0:42:35 > 0:42:39both our experts have put their money where their mouths are,

0:42:39 > 0:42:42and proved that they've got what it takes to make a profit from antiques,

0:42:42 > 0:42:44when their own money is on the line.
