0:00:02 > 0:00:07This is the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is showdown. The toughest challenge our experts have faced.

0:00:07 > 0:00:08Ouch.

0:00:08 > 0:00:12In just 48 frantic hours, our duelling dealers

0:00:12 > 0:00:17will each have to source, buy and then sell an entire stall's worth of antiques.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19I see it, like it, want it. I've got to buy it.

0:00:19 > 0:00:24Testing their knowledge, stamina and nerve to the absolute limit.

0:00:24 > 0:00:29Coming up, our experts deliver a master class in the art of haggling.

0:00:29 > 0:00:33Would you mind asking if they'll take 350 all in? Eric's paying cash.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35How to give your stall a bit of a lift.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38What time's the face painting? 12 o'clock?

0:00:38 > 0:00:40And what to do when it all goes wrong.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44It's starting to rain, and this is all going a bit Pete Tong, isn't it?

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Today it's the final battle between...

0:01:01 > 0:01:03..and...

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Our dealing veterans have been slugging it out all week long

0:01:09 > 0:01:14to find out who can make the most profit from buying and selling antiques.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Honestly, Eric, I thought your patch was yours and my patch was mine.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20If I get my way, there's going to be one fox on the run today.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Thank you. Thank you.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Now, both Phil and Eric know we're coming,

0:01:26 > 0:01:30but they have no idea where the next 48 hours will take them.

0:01:32 > 0:01:39It's time for us to find out the details of our two heroes' most dastardly dealing challenge yet.

0:01:39 > 0:01:43"Philip Serrell, this is your showdown. Your challenge is simple.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47"You have today to buy antiques and collectibles from wherever you like."

0:01:47 > 0:01:52"Tomorrow, you must sell your items off at a stall at Camden Passage

0:01:52 > 0:01:56"in direct competition with your opponent Philip Serrell."

0:01:56 > 0:02:00"The winner will be the dealer who makes the most profit.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04"You can spend up to £1,000 of your own money." That's not so good.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07"By 6pm today, you must finish buying,

0:02:07 > 0:02:13"then travel to your hotel where you will meet your opponent Philip Serrell - The Fox."

0:02:14 > 0:02:18"Good luck." Trust me. I'm going to need it.

0:02:18 > 0:02:23Eric and Phil have up to £1,000 each of their own money to spend.

0:02:23 > 0:02:28Today they must buy enough antiques to stock an entire stall.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33Two of the biggest brains on the antiques block will need to go into overdrive - big time.

0:02:33 > 0:02:38Tomorrow they'll be trying to sell the whole lot in direct competition with each other

0:02:38 > 0:02:43to the discerning buyers of Camden Passage market in Islington, North London.

0:02:44 > 0:02:50This market is a hip mix of high-end traditional antiques and more modern retro pieces,

0:02:50 > 0:02:54and it draws an eclectic mix of buyers, from funky urbanites to tourists.

0:02:54 > 0:03:00For Eric and Phil, the key to victory in this challenge lies in knowing their market.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03That's not a problem for city-slicker Knocker.

0:03:03 > 0:03:09I know Camden Passage very well. I know the sort of dealers up there and the sort of stuff they deal in.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12And for the most part, a lot of them are very general,

0:03:12 > 0:03:15so I'm going to be looking for small, portable objects.

0:03:16 > 0:03:22No worries there then. But for our country boy Phil, Camden might just as well be on the moon,

0:03:22 > 0:03:27so he's straight on the blower to his daughter Clem for a few pointers. Aw...

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Camden. C-A-M-D-E-N. Camden Passage antiques market.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34I just want to find out what sort of things they sell there.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38They sell Art Nouveau? That's bad news. That's Eric Knowles, isn't it?

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Yes, Art Nouveau is one of Knocker's areas of expertise.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45But this is no time to feel sorry for yourself, Foxy,

0:03:45 > 0:03:50because our Eric is furiously plotting where to begin his buying blitz.

0:03:50 > 0:03:55I need a few antique warehouses and places on several floors where I can go in.

0:03:55 > 0:04:00I'm not going to be buying so much for the trade, but more for your sort of touristy market,

0:04:00 > 0:04:05so I've got to buy things that are ready to go, things that are not too big,

0:04:05 > 0:04:08bearing in mind I want them to be portable.

0:04:08 > 0:04:13So, Knocker is on the move, and he's focussed on finding pieces

0:04:13 > 0:04:16that will suit Camden Passage's tourist market.

0:04:16 > 0:04:21The Fox still hasn't left his lair, but he's been formulating a strategy of his own.

0:04:21 > 0:04:26And this wily Worcester boy will be shopping close to home.

0:04:26 > 0:04:31I think what I'm going to try and do is go round some local shops.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34You know, this is my patch. This is where I'm known.

0:04:34 > 0:04:39I'll see what I can buy here within a 15 to 20-mile radius of Worcester,

0:04:39 > 0:04:41so the most I'll drive to a shop is half an hour.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45If it's more than half an hour, I won't go there, because that's just wasting time.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Show time!

0:05:01 > 0:05:05Both Eric and Phil must stop shopping by 6 o'clock this evening,

0:05:05 > 0:05:10then our brave boys will be driven to a hotel in London where they'll snatch a few hours' kip

0:05:10 > 0:05:15before stalling out at Camden Passage antiques market first thing tomorrow morning.

0:05:15 > 0:05:20Getting off to a good buying start will be crucial for both our dealers.

0:05:20 > 0:05:25But never short of cunning, The Fox is trying to suss out Eric's strategy.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Are you going to auctions, Eric, or to shops?

0:05:28 > 0:05:34I don't think there's any point, to be honest, Phil, discussing my strategy with you, because...

0:05:34 > 0:05:36- You're a rat. - ..it's a perfect strategy.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40- You're horrible. - No. I'm not horrible. - You are.- Phil, you hurt me.

0:05:40 > 0:05:46No, I mean, I'm just going to, you know, go for it, find it, mark it up and sell it.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Unlucky Mr Fox. Nice try, though.

0:05:50 > 0:05:55Knocker is heading for a large antique centre in Dorking where he hopes

0:05:55 > 0:06:00he'll find the tourist-friendly pieces that'll fit his buying strategy like a glove.

0:06:00 > 0:06:06I have feelings of trepidation and a frisson of excitement,

0:06:06 > 0:06:10because whenever I go antiquing, it gives me a buzz.

0:06:10 > 0:06:15Yes, Knocker's right up for this battle, but The Fox is also warming to the challenge.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19The area I'm going to try and compete on is what's trendy in London.

0:06:19 > 0:06:25You know, things that are funky, things that have got a good eye, quirky, small little things.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27I mean, you know the sort of things I like and buy.

0:06:27 > 0:06:32He's rocking now. Phil might not know Camden Passage all that well,

0:06:32 > 0:06:37but if there's one thing he does know inside out, it's his home county of Worcestershire,

0:06:37 > 0:06:43and he wastes no time in dialling in to his extensive network of local dealers.

0:06:43 > 0:06:47But then The Fox hits a snag.

0:06:47 > 0:06:48Ugh, that's annoying.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52I've just got a text off the first shop I was going to

0:06:52 > 0:06:55saying the girl won't be in until later on this afternoon.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59It's literally up the road, so this really is thinking on the hoof.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Well, it's not the ideal start, but The Fox gets back on the phone

0:07:02 > 0:07:05and has another local dealer lined up in seconds.

0:07:05 > 0:07:10Can I come and see you, like, in half an hour or so?

0:07:11 > 0:07:14You better get your best and cheapest stock out, mate.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19Glen, can I ask you, have you ever done Camden Passage in London?

0:07:20 > 0:07:24Yes, clever boy. Phil's not only lining up the shops to visit,

0:07:24 > 0:07:29he's also fishing for every little titbit of info that might help him conquer Camden Passage.

0:07:29 > 0:07:34This contest is about to move up a gear, and whilst The Fox reroutes,

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Knocker rocks up at his first buying stop.

0:07:38 > 0:07:43I'm selling in Camden Passage. I think I'm going to get a lot of, dare I say, day-trippers.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48Eric's looking for small, takeaway antiques for an upwardly mobile market,

0:07:48 > 0:07:53so a large fragile antique jug and basin should do just the trick.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Oh, Eric...

0:07:56 > 0:08:01Normally, I don't get excited about jug and basins, but this one is just so stylish.

0:08:01 > 0:08:07The basin's pretty straightforward, but it's the jug. It's a lovely, sort of helmet-shaped jug.

0:08:07 > 0:08:12The decoration is a giveaway. It's got this Art Nouveau-type design,

0:08:12 > 0:08:17but it's British, so I tend to refer to it these days more as Arts and Crafts.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20And rather appropriately,

0:08:20 > 0:08:26you can see the mark for Doulton's of Burslem, in this case, not Lambeth.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29They had two factories. This one was made in Stoke-on-Trent.

0:08:29 > 0:08:35It's called Kelmscott, which just happens to be the home of William Morris.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39So you can see why they've titled it so.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43The asking price here is 110, which is a little bit on the high side for me,

0:08:43 > 0:08:48but I want to go out with that, so I'm going to see if I can find

0:08:48 > 0:08:51a better price from the dealer who's selling it.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55But I do like that. That's coming home with me.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58The prince of porcelain can't resist his pottery.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02In fact, our Knocker has a bit of a roving eye when it comes to antiques.

0:09:02 > 0:09:07Now he's had his head turned by a 20th-century glass port decanter.

0:09:07 > 0:09:12This says it's 19th century. Trust me. It's 20th century. It's by Walsh.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16And he's taken by a cheeky little Mucha-style wooden box.

0:09:16 > 0:09:22It's not of any great age, but it's nicely done with Mucha designs.

0:09:22 > 0:09:27You know, I've got a good feeling about this place I think I might do quite well here.

0:09:27 > 0:09:33No doubt you would, Knocker, but only if you stop flirting with the items and start buying them.

0:09:33 > 0:09:39But Eric's love-in with the antiques continues when he bumps into an old flame.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Not a secret that I do love the glass of Lalique.

0:09:42 > 0:09:48Not just Rene Lalique, but also the work of his son, Marc Lalique,

0:09:48 > 0:09:54and his granddaughter, Marie-Claude Lalique. Sadly, both of them no longer with us.

0:09:54 > 0:10:00This is a lovely little pendent, which, as you can see, spells out the name Lalique.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03It's a lovely emerald green glass.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07It's in nice condition, and it's still in its original box.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11If you do own one of these, do be careful while you wear it,

0:10:11 > 0:10:15because the minute you chip anything like this,

0:10:15 > 0:10:18it's worth a fraction of whatever you paid for it.

0:10:18 > 0:10:23A good tip no doubt, but here's another - buy something, Eric!

0:10:23 > 0:10:29Because The Fox has finally landed at his first buying location and he's moving at speed.

0:10:29 > 0:10:34I'm on a real mission today. I've got to Upton. I haven't got time to faff around.

0:10:34 > 0:10:39I'm going to see an old client of mine and I'm just going to buy some things.

0:10:39 > 0:10:45The Fox is sniffing around for funky, trendy items that will attract a London crowd.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49- He knows what he likes.- Can we get those three little seals there?

0:10:49 > 0:10:53- And he knows what he doesn't. - I'll let you put those back.- Sure.

0:10:53 > 0:10:59- But there's no need for weapons, Foxy.- I find it bizarre these things are all called fishing priest,

0:10:59 > 0:11:01when the actual object of it is to administer

0:11:01 > 0:11:05the coup de grace to your trout or your salmon on the river bank.

0:11:05 > 0:11:10- So, you get it in your hand and you just whack it on the back of the head, don't you?- Yes.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13A priest is still considered a humane way to dispatch fish,

0:11:13 > 0:11:18but there are rules about which fish you are allowed to catch for the pot

0:11:18 > 0:11:20and from which location you can catch them.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24But it looks like our country gent has hit his buying stride.

0:11:24 > 0:11:30He's spent £90 on a mix of stylish decorative pieces and a couple of more unusual items,

0:11:30 > 0:11:35including the fishing priest, a seal and four ceramic advertising pots.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Thank you for that. - Yes, see you soon.- Come again.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41And Mr Fox's stop in Upton is capped off nicely

0:11:41 > 0:11:47when another local shop owner gives him a couple of props to decorate his stall with for free.

0:11:47 > 0:11:52What a lovely, lovely man. Do you know, when I was putting the other stuff back in the car,

0:11:52 > 0:11:55I saw these bits and thought they'd look great dressing my stall.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59I went in, and do you know, he's given me these just to dress my stall.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01How fabulous is that?

0:12:01 > 0:12:05But unluckily for Phil, the bottle is empty.

0:12:05 > 0:12:11Now, a slow start hasn't stopped The Fox registering in our first 48-hour showdown buy.

0:12:11 > 0:12:16And no doubt the ball of energy that is Knocker Knowles is hot on his heels.

0:12:16 > 0:12:17RECORD SCRATCHING

0:12:17 > 0:12:19MUSIC: "Nice 'n' Easy" by Frank Sinatra

0:12:19 > 0:12:27# Let's take it nice and easy It's gonna be so easy. #

0:12:27 > 0:12:31I am on this occasion speechless insofar as I'm stuck for words,

0:12:31 > 0:12:36because, well, I've got so much choice and it's a matter of whittling it down

0:12:36 > 0:12:42to those pieces that I think are the most desirable. Time really is pressing.

0:12:42 > 0:12:48I really need to get a move on, so as soon as I can do this deal, the better.

0:12:48 > 0:12:55Hallelujah! Eric finally abandons his frothy cappuccino and heads back to the antique centre.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58But with only a few hours of buying left,

0:12:58 > 0:13:02he better seal some deals quick sharp or he'll be seriously behind.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- I'm back. - HE LAUGHS

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Sounded like a threat that, didn't it?

0:13:07 > 0:13:13Right, I've done my working out, and these are the pieces that I'd like to go for.

0:13:13 > 0:13:19Now, this Dorking antiques centre is made up of the individual units of various dealers,

0:13:19 > 0:13:21represented today by Wendy.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25There's 22 on the ticket. Would you accept 20?

0:13:25 > 0:13:30Several of Eric's favourite pieces come from the same dealer, including this Lalique pendent.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33And whilst he might be under serious time pressure,

0:13:33 > 0:13:37Knocker is a cool enough customer to make sure he asks for discount.

0:13:37 > 0:13:42Now bearing in mind I've just looked at all the Lalique jewellery...

0:13:42 > 0:13:45I know that this is obviously this is the same dealer, yes?

0:13:45 > 0:13:48It comes to 367.

0:13:48 > 0:13:55Bearing in mind that I'm going with a big spend, would you mind asking if they'd take 350 all in.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Eric's paying cash.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01After a brief chat with the relevant dealer, Knocker gets his deal.

0:14:01 > 0:14:09And in total, our Lancashire lad splashes out a sensational £640 on 16 different items.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13Let me just count this out for you. So, that's one, two, three, four, five...

0:14:13 > 0:14:18Eric's strategy is to buy small, portable items for souvenir-hunting tourists

0:14:18 > 0:14:22that he hopes will be swarming his stall at Camden Passage Market tomorrow morning.

0:14:22 > 0:14:30So, a chunky Arts and Crafts jug and basin and a 20th-century decanter might seem unusual choices.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34But Eric gets back on track with a small terrier brooch,

0:14:34 > 0:14:39an enamelled bracelet and some Butler & Wilson costume jewellery.

0:14:39 > 0:14:43I'm going to hit the road, because time is really, really pressing at the moment.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Unlike Knocker, Phil is buying locally,

0:14:47 > 0:14:52and he's concentrating on items he thinks will suit small London flats.

0:14:52 > 0:14:58These are about 1920. They're fun, because people sew these together and make cushions out of them.

0:14:59 > 0:15:03He's interested in several pieces, like this prayer mat and Victorian footstool,

0:15:03 > 0:15:08but he's come up against a Northern dealer who's no pushover when it comes to talking money.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12# There's gonna be a showdown #

0:15:12 > 0:15:14OK, 25 for those,

0:15:14 > 0:15:17and I'll give you...

0:15:19 > 0:15:2135... I'll give you 60 quid for the lot then.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25And those two out there. Good man.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29- Would you like to sit down now? - You can't do that, Phil.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32No. Your arithmetic is quite poor.

0:15:32 > 0:15:37The two planters, that, that and that. How much?

0:15:37 > 0:15:40- £85.- Get out of here!

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Split the difference. 65.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45- £80.- Keep trying.

0:15:45 > 0:15:50- No, that's my final offer. - "That is my final offer?"- Yes. - Do you want to phone a friend?- No.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54- You sure?- Yes, Phil.- Sure?- £80. - That's too much, Nigel.

0:15:54 > 0:16:00- I'll give you 70 and I'll have a deal with you now. I'll shake your hand. - 75.- 78, erm, 70.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03- OK.- You're a good man. Thank you, Nigel.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07Yes, Phil digs in and he gets there in the end,

0:16:07 > 0:16:11but the clock is ticking and he's still got £800 to spend.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14The brilliant, strategic brain of The Fox is racing.

0:16:14 > 0:16:20I quite like the things I bought, and I think that's half the battle if you buy things to sell.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24If you like them, there's every chance someone else will like them.

0:16:25 > 0:16:30With our brave boys on the move, it's time to find out what they've spent so far.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Our dealing duo both started the day

0:16:32 > 0:16:36with up to £1,000 of their own money to spend.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39So far, Knocker has spent a whopping £640

0:16:39 > 0:16:43and he's bought a stall-busting 16 items.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47He's got just £360 left to play with.

0:16:47 > 0:16:52The Fox has spent just £200 so far and has bough ten items,

0:16:52 > 0:16:56leaving him with £800 still in his kitty.

0:16:58 > 0:17:03Our duelling dealers have each got just 48 hours to source, buy

0:17:03 > 0:17:06and then sell an entire stall's worth of antiques.

0:17:06 > 0:17:11They're on the hunt for items they think will sell best at a North London market.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Knocker is pounding the pavements in Dorking.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18He's after an antiques cabinet for displaying his jewellery items,

0:17:18 > 0:17:21which he can then sell once it's served its purpose.

0:17:21 > 0:17:27- Anything in this wonderful emporium of yours that comes close?- I don't have anything at the moment.

0:17:30 > 0:17:35I'm looking for a glazed table cabinet. Something to put bits of jewellery in.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Anything in stock of that nature? - Nothing at the moment.

0:17:39 > 0:17:44- I know what you're looking for, but I haven't got anything like that in the shop at the moment.- OK.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49I'm putting on a brave face, but I'm up against it.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Yes, our Knocker is under pressure,

0:17:52 > 0:17:57but over in Worcester, The Fox doesn't seem to have a care in the world.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01He's only spent £200, has bagged far fewer items than his opponent,

0:18:01 > 0:18:05and has only just arrived at a shop he was trying to visit hours ago.

0:18:05 > 0:18:10Now he's here, he seems more interested in the labels than the antiques.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14You look at that there, it doesn't just say "a scent bottle",

0:18:14 > 0:18:20but it's "London 1924, superbly hand-cut dressing table pot

0:18:20 > 0:18:24"with silver cover, mounts and grand stopper."

0:18:24 > 0:18:29It's just a whole history about the thing, and I will try to replicate that on my stand.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Well, no doubt your labels will look lovely, Phil,

0:18:31 > 0:18:36but if you don't get in there and buy some more antiques, you'll have hardly anything to put them on.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40In Dorking, Knocker is still on the trail of that elusive display cabinet.

0:18:40 > 0:18:45Well, I've just had a tip-off that I might find what I'm looking for

0:18:45 > 0:18:48in the way of a jewellery display box in this shop.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51It is very much the 11th hour,

0:18:51 > 0:18:55so hold your breath, here it goes.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59Lo and behold, it looks like Eric's tip is a good one.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03£55. Is that for cash?

0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Yes.- It is. OK.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10Well, for £55,

0:19:10 > 0:19:14and really for the benefit of my blood pressure, can we call that a deal?

0:19:14 > 0:19:20Knocker's straight in there, but at £55, will this modern box prove profitable?

0:19:21 > 0:19:25Back in Worcester, it looks like it's Phil's turn to take things easy.

0:19:25 > 0:19:32Hardly any time left, hardly any money spent, so why not take a load off?

0:19:32 > 0:19:35# Cos nice and easy does it every time. #

0:19:37 > 0:19:41"Killarney. Killarney Lakes." That's yew wood, isn't it?

0:19:41 > 0:19:44I didn't know whether it was yew or arbutus. I'm not sure.

0:19:44 > 0:19:51- Do you know arbutus wood?- No. - You get around that part of Ireland - Kerry, West Cork.

0:19:51 > 0:19:57- This is calling me. How much is this?- £45.- The Fox is putting paw in pocket at last.

0:19:57 > 0:20:03As well as this elm card case for £45, he buys this wooden money box for £30,

0:20:03 > 0:20:07and a bullet-shaped teapot for £60.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09He also buys this 1920s ivory figure for £60.

0:20:09 > 0:20:14Remember, there are strict rules governing the buying and selling of ivory.

0:20:14 > 0:20:19This item is fine to sell, because it's an antique that was produced before 1947,

0:20:19 > 0:20:22the date from which the legislation applies.

0:20:22 > 0:20:27I've only got 35 minutes left, 50 yards to walk. Get your skates on.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31Phil is sticking to his strategy like a limpet.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34He's buying small, interesting items.

0:20:34 > 0:20:39If the buyers will think they're funky enough for their flats, we'll find that out in the morning.

0:20:39 > 0:20:47And speaking of funky, Knocker Knowles, Prince of Pots, art nouveau expert, art deco maestro

0:20:47 > 0:20:51is branching out into cheap and cheerful jewellery.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Is the pressure getting to you, Eric?

0:20:54 > 0:20:57These are quite nice. I quite like the starfish.

0:20:57 > 0:21:02- Yes, those are actually M&S, 1980s probably.- M&S!

0:21:02 > 0:21:05They're a bit tinchy. You have to have little ears for those.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09I'm not really a size man when it comes to ears.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12They're either nibble-worthy or they're not worth nibbling.

0:21:12 > 0:21:17Yes, there must be a pair for Philip. Rumour has it he likes to wear them from time to time.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19You need big ears for these?

0:21:19 > 0:21:24Here's you telling me it doesn't matter what shape your ears are, now you say you need big ears.

0:21:24 > 0:21:30- I think this will just do the trick. - Well, if you say so, Eric.

0:21:30 > 0:21:35In Worcester, Phil is also trying to squeeze in some last-minute shopping.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38HE GROANS

0:21:38 > 0:21:41The Fox snaps up this gilt wall bracket for £40,

0:21:41 > 0:21:46and this mahogany Colonial mirror for £180.

0:21:46 > 0:21:52It's his most expensive purchase of the day and he's feeling more than a little protective of it.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54You might look at this at home

0:21:54 > 0:21:59and think all this silvering here has come off and that's a bad thing.

0:21:59 > 0:22:05Actually, that's part of our shabby chic thing. People will love that, so I'm definitely having that.

0:22:05 > 0:22:11Our Lancashire lad splashes out £230 on a cornucopia of colourful jewellery -

0:22:11 > 0:22:16taking his total spend to just over £985.

0:22:16 > 0:22:21And that is that, buying over, bang on the button.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23Just have a look at this.

0:22:25 > 0:22:31Eric and Phil both started out today with £1,000 of their own money.

0:22:31 > 0:22:36Knocker spent just under £970 on 35 items for his stall,

0:22:36 > 0:22:41plus just under £20 on decoration.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43While The Fox bagged 17 items

0:22:43 > 0:22:47and spent £615 on his showdown collection.

0:22:50 > 0:22:56With their buying done, both our duelling dealers make a beeline for their London hotel

0:22:56 > 0:23:01where they'll be resting their weary bones before the biggest day of their dealing lives.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Their vans are full to the brim with the booty

0:23:04 > 0:23:08they think will turn them a winning profit at the market tomorrow.

0:23:08 > 0:23:13But only time will tell who's chosen the winning strategy.

0:23:13 > 0:23:18I did not intend initially to buy so much in the way of jewellery, but I've done it.

0:23:18 > 0:23:23It is the sort of thing that tends to go very quickly as long as it's priced right.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26So, come on, girls, come and get it!

0:23:27 > 0:23:31It's been a good day. I'm pleased with what I've bought.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35All I have to think about now is what I'm going to ask for them.

0:23:35 > 0:23:40Knocker is the first to land in the hotel, but The Fox isn't far behind.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Once they've checked in and freshened up,

0:23:42 > 0:23:45our warring warriors hold a temporary truce.

0:23:45 > 0:23:50I've got to put my cards on the table and tell you now, mate, that I'm in it to win it.

0:23:50 > 0:23:56- So, shall we have a drink on that? - I'll drink to that, Knocker. Cheers.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Tomorrow brings the real battle as they attempt to sell

0:23:59 > 0:24:04all of their purchases in direct competition at the antiques market.

0:24:04 > 0:24:10Among the goodies for sale are Phil's bijoux silver teapot and antique containers.

0:24:10 > 0:24:16And Eric's emerald-coloured Lalique statement jewellery

0:24:16 > 0:24:18and Arts and Crafts jug and basin.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23Coming up, Eric reveals his secret weapon.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27- I'll walk around with one there and...- One in the back.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29And The Fox is under pressure.

0:24:29 > 0:24:34It's now starting to rain, and this is all going a bit Pete Tong, isn't it?

0:24:37 > 0:24:42It's early doors in North London and the market is preparing for another day of trading.

0:24:44 > 0:24:49There's a palpable sense of excitement as the dealers stall out for the day's business

0:24:49 > 0:24:54selling to Islington's trendy mix of youngsters, tourists and fellow dealers.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00Over the next eight hours, our dealers face their biggest challenge yet.

0:25:00 > 0:25:05They must attempt to sell everything they bought yesterday.

0:25:05 > 0:25:10Ladies and gentlemen, the moment of truth has arrived for our antiques odd couple.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Take those 75p price tickets off. They're not going to do you any good at all.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19They're perfect in case we get any more of those winters of discontent.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Phil and Eric's stalls are right next to each other,

0:25:22 > 0:25:26so they'll have to fight even harder to make sure

0:25:26 > 0:25:29that it's their stall that the buyers come to first.

0:25:29 > 0:25:34As Knocker and The Fox unpack their goods, their aim is to display them in ways

0:25:34 > 0:25:38that will inspire people to part with their hard-earned cash.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40I'll be back. Just keep an eye, will you?

0:25:40 > 0:25:46If he's going to do this all day, I can see us falling apart here, because he's just wandered off.

0:25:46 > 0:25:51Who claims ultimate victory will all come down to who has judged this market best.

0:25:51 > 0:25:55Oh, my life... Ronald McDonald. Look at him.

0:25:55 > 0:26:01- What time's the face painting? 12 o'clock?- Gentlemen, it's time to reveal your stalls.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08May the best man win.

0:26:10 > 0:26:15Now the golden rule for getting the best deal at any antiques market is to get in there early,

0:26:15 > 0:26:20because the dealers will often trade amongst themselves before the crowds arrive,

0:26:20 > 0:26:23so if the item you buy was purchased earlier that morning,

0:26:23 > 0:26:28the chances are it might just be a little more expensive.

0:26:28 > 0:26:32And the lure of a stall run by the famous Eric Knowles

0:26:32 > 0:26:35is too much for this antiques professional to resist -

0:26:35 > 0:26:37much to the amusement of The Fox.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42- You local?- Yes, I'm just down the road.- Yes? All right.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Knowles has got a victim.

0:26:45 > 0:26:50- Everybody's welcome here, I can promise you. - The fish is rising to the fly.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53Oh, he's got it. Here you are, look.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55He's on the line now. Go on, reel him in, Eric.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59Yes, I mean, it's got... It's Mucha, isn't it?

0:26:59 > 0:27:02But it's got no age. I've made no pretence of that.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06The poor chap is on the bank. He doesn't even know what's happened to him.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09- So, what have we got on this?- 27?

0:27:09 > 0:27:13- £27?- Yes, it's got to be worth that. That's fine.- Of course it is.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17- Well done, Eric. A victim, erm, I mean a sale.- Yes, I made a sale.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21- ALL LAUGH - He's gone green, hasn't he? Have you noticed?

0:27:21 > 0:27:25Yes, green around the gills, Eric, but it's not who has the first laugh.

0:27:25 > 0:27:31- £27 for the Mucha-style box delivers him the first profit of the day.- Thank you.

0:27:31 > 0:27:36But The Fox doesn't have long to wait for a bit of professional interest of his own.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39This dealer is keen on Phil's treen pieces.

0:27:39 > 0:27:43These are antiques that are made of wood, but are not furniture.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45And good treen like Phil's fishing priest

0:27:45 > 0:27:49should be as tempting to the touch as it is easy on the eye.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51I do like treen, but...

0:27:52 > 0:27:57- That's an unusual thing.- I appreciate that it is, but it's...

0:27:57 > 0:28:01There's nothing in it for me at all.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Well, you know, things are negotiable, aren't they? - So, how much?

0:28:04 > 0:28:09Make me an offer I can't refuse, and trust me, I can refuse that.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16- 45 quid.- Behave. - 45, honestly.- Behave.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19I think at £55 I'll set it to you.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22Then I've earned something and you've earned something.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25- I'll take it.- I've earned a tanner. - That's fair enough.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28Yes, The Fox is one tough negotiator

0:28:28 > 0:28:32and the two treen pieces each generate a profit of £10.

0:28:32 > 0:28:36I'm actually really sad to see them go, because I like those things.

0:28:36 > 0:28:42I like anything I've bought. It's like seeing your children leave home, but...

0:28:43 > 0:28:49It's 95 quid and I suppose at the end of the day that's £20 profit, isn't it?

0:28:49 > 0:28:54The Fox stops feeling broody pretty quickly once there's a profit in the offing.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57But after an early rush, trade begins to slump.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00And the effects of all this high-pressure dealing

0:29:00 > 0:29:04appear to be taking their toll on The Fox's energy levels.

0:29:04 > 0:29:09- BELL CHIMES - Clue number one, completely ignoring your customers.

0:29:09 > 0:29:14- BELL CHIMES - Clue number two, idol chatter of raising all your prices.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18Some of this stuff's too cheap on my stall, Eric. I've under-priced it.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20- BELL CHIMES - Clue number three,

0:29:20 > 0:29:23getting the opposition to do your dealing for you.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26- How much is that piece, Phil? - I don't actually know.

0:29:26 > 0:29:30Finally, Phil remembers what he's here for and gets off his foxy backside

0:29:30 > 0:29:34to snatch victory away from the jaws of dealing disaster.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37I've never seen one with a dial on it.

0:29:38 > 0:29:44- It wants a bit of light varnish, doesn't it?- Yes. How much? - It's 45. That's the finish really.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47- I'll take that. - Yes? Thank you very much indeed.

0:29:47 > 0:29:51£45 on his clock-shaped money box is excellent business,

0:29:51 > 0:29:56and so is £55 on his 19th-century gold leaf wall bracket.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59Now that's worth getting off your booty for, Foxy.

0:29:59 > 0:30:05- There we are. That's 100. Thank you very much indeed.- Thank you. - I wish you all the best.

0:30:05 > 0:30:10So far, Phil's collection of curios has been going down well with other dealers,

0:30:10 > 0:30:14but he's yet to sell anything to the trendy London flat-dwellers

0:30:14 > 0:30:17that his entire buying strategy was aimed at.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21It's an interesting mirror that, isn't it?

0:30:22 > 0:30:26- Yes.- Yes, it's a nice thing. - Yes.- Oh, dear.

0:30:26 > 0:30:30The real issue for me now is that I've got things priced up.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32Do I drop the price or do I leave it where it is?

0:30:32 > 0:30:35That mirror, I don't want to come down on that at all.

0:30:35 > 0:30:39It's just a real, you know... Do you? Don't you? Shall I? Shan't I?

0:30:39 > 0:30:41The trouble is you don't know until it's too late.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44And to complicate matters even further,

0:30:44 > 0:30:49it looks like good old Mother Nature is in the mood to rain in their parade.

0:30:49 > 0:30:53Knocker built his strategy on Islington's busy tourist market

0:30:53 > 0:30:59and invested nearly £400 of his spending money on small jewellery items.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01There's been some interest.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04- So, 1950s these ones? - No, I think they're 1980s.

0:31:04 > 0:31:08- I think I'll have to leave it today, but thank you very much. - It's a pleasure.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11Eric, you smoothy.

0:31:11 > 0:31:15And because you've got quite nice lobes...

0:31:15 > 0:31:17- Where are you from?- Germany. - Oh, Deutschland.

0:31:17 > 0:31:21- Und welche Stadt in Deutschland? - Duesseldorf.- Oh, Duesseldorf.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24- This the sort of thing you might be interested in?- It would.

0:31:27 > 0:31:31- I haven't actually got any money on me.- No, don't you worry about that.

0:31:33 > 0:31:38- Those are £10, zehn Pfund. Would you wear those?- No.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41- Thank you very much. - Nice to meet you. Thank you.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43Great lobes.

0:31:43 > 0:31:47Oh, well. The jewellery just isn't shifting.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50But it's a classic piece of Arts and Crafts ceramics

0:31:50 > 0:31:53that sees this serious collector offering with intent.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56There you go. Stick to what you know, Eric.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59- This is very nice.- You like that? - It's really nice.

0:31:59 > 0:32:04I haven't seen one that's absolutely perfect in that condition.

0:32:04 > 0:32:09- Yes, it's nice.- Very nice. - I've looked it over. You'd always look there for a bit of restoration

0:32:09 > 0:32:13- Very, very nice.- Or on the handle. - Very art nouveau.- Very.

0:32:13 > 0:32:17- Or even Arts and Crafts.- It is a bit, yes. So, how much is it?

0:32:17 > 0:32:21Well, I've got 140 on it, but as I know that you are a...

0:32:21 > 0:32:25- A connoisseur.- A connoisseur. That's the word I'm searching for.

0:32:25 > 0:32:31- 125.- OK, that's a deal then.- 125? - It's very, very nice. Yes, 125.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34£125. Knocker, take a bow.

0:32:34 > 0:32:38But Eric will be less pleased with the news that his foxy neighbour

0:32:38 > 0:32:42is developing a rather special relationship with a passing American tourist.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45Do you like your meat pots, madam?

0:32:45 > 0:32:49Now with opening lines like that, what chance does our Eric stand?

0:32:49 > 0:32:52- Have you heard of Gentleman's Relish?- Yes.

0:32:52 > 0:32:57- They would have been used and discarded.- Wouldn't they have been kept?- No, no, no.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00No, these would have been just discarded, because...

0:33:00 > 0:33:04- Do you keep the tins that your food comes in today?- No.- No.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07- That's a good point. - So why would you have kept these?

0:33:07 > 0:33:11They were discarded on the rubbish dump, and that was it - finished.

0:33:11 > 0:33:16- And a few survived.- Well, no. These have probably been dug up out of someone's garden.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20- From a rubbish dump, you see.- That's what it says, "a rubbish dump".

0:33:20 > 0:33:25- I'm buying something from a rubbish dump and taking it to The States? - Hopefully, you'll buy it.

0:33:25 > 0:33:32- I came back for this one.- You just want that one?- Yes. I have to worry about weight, you know.- Yes.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35You worry about weight? I have to worry about weight all the time.

0:33:35 > 0:33:39Well, you've got two very similar there. Which would you like?

0:33:39 > 0:33:44- I thought this one, because this was a little distorted. - That one is £5, my dear.

0:33:44 > 0:33:47- Oh, now you're going to... Here you go.- Thank you very much.

0:33:47 > 0:33:51And another happy customer, and after snapping up a potted meat lid

0:33:51 > 0:33:55that was dug out of a rubbish dump for just £5, who can blame the lady?

0:33:55 > 0:33:59- I'm assuming I paid the right dealer.- Yes, you did.

0:33:59 > 0:34:04- No, you're good, my love. - That's my day boy you've just paid.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06- Thanks.- Thank you. Bye-bye.

0:34:06 > 0:34:11The banter is flying thick and fast, and the boys are back on top selling form.

0:34:11 > 0:34:12- I've sold a pot lid.- Good lad.

0:34:12 > 0:34:16So far, offloading their items has been far from easy,

0:34:16 > 0:34:21but our warring warriors are fighting to their last.

0:34:22 > 0:34:24It's been a mixed morning for Knocker.

0:34:24 > 0:34:29He's sold just two items for a profit of £47.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31The Fox has been a little busier,

0:34:31 > 0:34:37and has made £50 profit on the six items he's sold so far.

0:34:37 > 0:34:40But with many antiques left to trade on both stalls,

0:34:40 > 0:34:44this 48-hour showdown could still go either way.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50Our two brave boys know they need to pull out all the stops

0:34:50 > 0:34:53as they enter the final phase of this epic challenge.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56It's Phil who's first to strike.

0:34:57 > 0:35:00What would be your best price on this?

0:35:00 > 0:35:02- On it or the two?- On it.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05- I'd like to sell you the two. - Really?- Yes.

0:35:05 > 0:35:09- How much would we pay for the two? - How much has that got priced on it?

0:35:09 > 0:35:14- £58.- Very best one-off deal, you can have it for 20 quid. I mean seriously...

0:35:14 > 0:35:18- When are you finishing?- I'll sell it to the next person that comes along.

0:35:18 > 0:35:24- I'll have it.- You can't have the bottle, but you can have the pot. - I thought that was part of it.- No.

0:35:24 > 0:35:27Good work, Phil. That plastic plant pot will be heading

0:35:27 > 0:35:30to just the kind of London flat you bought it for.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32And the news gets even better for The Fox

0:35:32 > 0:35:36when the same buyer sends his mate over to purchase the other one.

0:35:36 > 0:35:42- I'll give you £11 and you're making £1 profit. - Give me £11.50.- All right.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46Next door rival Knocker is desperately trying to talk up

0:35:46 > 0:35:49some of the jewellery he bought yesterday.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52Luckily for Eric, this lady is all ears.

0:35:52 > 0:35:56- What make are these? - You know, I haven't got a clue.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59- I'm on a learning curve. - I think I might wear these.

0:35:59 > 0:36:05- I like these and the pink ones as well.- OK, I'll pop them in here.- That's great.

0:36:05 > 0:36:09Go on, Knocker. £10 for the earrings means you've doubled your money.

0:36:09 > 0:36:15And Eric adds to his profit margins when his two brass candle sticks sell for £20.

0:36:15 > 0:36:21- They've got an elegance that some Victorian candlesticks just don't have. Are we on?- Yes.- Excellent.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24The Fox bites back quickly when his seal sells to a collector

0:36:24 > 0:36:26for more than twice what he bought it for.

0:36:26 > 0:36:30- Before you even try, I'll tell you the best price I can do.- Right.

0:36:30 > 0:36:35- It's £25, and it's yours.- Right. That's what I though you would say.

0:36:35 > 0:36:39- Then we're all happy.- I won't haggle with that.- You're a star. Thank you so much.- Thank you.

0:36:39 > 0:36:43Time is now becoming a major pressure for both our dealers.

0:36:43 > 0:36:48And our boys aren't helped when the heavens open and the rain comes pouring down.

0:36:48 > 0:36:53Trying to sell an entire stall's worth of antiques in just one day under these conditions

0:36:53 > 0:36:58is an almighty challenge, especially at a time when buyers are cautious.

0:36:58 > 0:37:01Reducing prices is one option for generating more sales.

0:37:01 > 0:37:05The weather's been sort of changeable, hasn't it?

0:37:05 > 0:37:08- I'm going to play my joker. - What's that?

0:37:08 > 0:37:14- "No reasonable offer refused." - Oh, really? OK, but there you go.

0:37:14 > 0:37:19Well, Phil, I'll walk around with one there and one on my back.

0:37:20 > 0:37:24Listen, I think I'm going to let you do that, OK?

0:37:24 > 0:37:29But I'm not necessarily going to join in, because I've got faith.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31I have. I've got faith.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Good for you, Eric. It's a brave strategy from Knocker.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Let's hope he doesn't live to regret it later.

0:37:38 > 0:37:43Luckily, his port decanter has caught this couple's eye.

0:37:43 > 0:37:49If you want to offer me anything between 30 and 35, you can take it home with you.

0:37:49 > 0:37:53- 25?- No!- Give us a couple of minutes.

0:37:53 > 0:37:58OK, well listen, if you want to come back to me, I'm all ears.

0:37:58 > 0:38:03What are you doing, Eric? £25 for the decanter would have been a £5 profit.

0:38:03 > 0:38:07And you've let them go. Phil's not having it any easier.

0:38:07 > 0:38:11He's gone to one of Islington's best silver shops to see if they're interested

0:38:11 > 0:38:15in his bullet-shaped teapot, but there's no joy for The Fox.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17That's quite disappointing really,

0:38:17 > 0:38:20because that's another negative response for my teapot.

0:38:20 > 0:38:24I'm going back to my stall now to see if Eric's done any good.

0:38:24 > 0:38:28Now it's starting to rain and this is all going a bit Pete Tong, isn't it?

0:38:28 > 0:38:31Oh, Phil, don't give up. There's still hope.

0:38:31 > 0:38:36As Eric learns when the lady who was interested in his decanter returns and stumps up £30 for it.

0:38:36 > 0:38:42- £30. Put your hand there. - Deal.- And then put your cash there.

0:38:42 > 0:38:47Well, of course. We all knew Eric was right to refuse her first offer, didn't we?

0:38:47 > 0:38:51- Thank you.- OK, thank you. - Bye.- Bye-bye.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54It's the endgame here at the antiques market.

0:38:54 > 0:39:00And despite the rain, the tourists that Eric based his strategy on are starting to appear.

0:39:00 > 0:39:05The problem is that Phil seems to be doing more business with them than he is.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07Do you know what pork pies are?

0:39:07 > 0:39:13The Fox sells another one of his potted meat lids to a very pleased German lady for £10.

0:39:13 > 0:39:14Take care.

0:39:14 > 0:39:20And follows that up by selling his white metal dish to a New Zealander, also for £10 profit.

0:39:20 > 0:39:24- Have a good trip, matey. Thanks a lot.- Thank you very much.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26But Knocker gets the final say when he sells

0:39:26 > 0:39:30his terrier brooch and compact to an Italian dog lover.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33- Grazie.- Thank you.- OK, thank you.

0:39:33 > 0:39:37And on that very Italian note, our very English summer's day is over,

0:39:37 > 0:39:39and our dealing is done.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42Rain has delayed play on more than one occasion today,

0:39:42 > 0:39:48so as the boys pack up their unsold antiques for another day, what happens next?

0:39:48 > 0:39:51Well, the sun comes out, of course.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54I would have thought they'd have a few porters around the place,

0:39:54 > 0:39:57but come on, be frank with me, would you do that again?

0:39:57 > 0:40:01It was hard work. It's time for me to get back to my sale room.

0:40:01 > 0:40:05- I'll tell you what, there are easier ways of making money. - Aren't there just.

0:40:05 > 0:40:12It's time now to tot up the totals and find out exactly how much our dynamic duo have made.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15Both Eric and Phil were allowed to spend

0:40:15 > 0:40:18up to £1,000 of their own money on the showdown.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21Eric spent just under £987

0:40:21 > 0:40:24on his funky collection of touristy-friendly pieces,

0:40:24 > 0:40:28while Phil spent £615 on his eclectic mix of items.

0:40:31 > 0:40:35Throughout our highly challenging showdown, our experts bought and sold

0:40:35 > 0:40:39a phenomenal amount of top-class antiques and collectibles.

0:40:39 > 0:40:45But did the good, old British weather manage to rain on their parade? Let's find out.

0:40:45 > 0:40:49Let's be honest. The weather didn't help. Bucketing down one minute...

0:40:49 > 0:40:54- You've got to take your hat off to the people who stand there.- Yes. - I love the first day buying.

0:40:54 > 0:40:59I genuinely bought things that I liked, because I think it's easier to sell things you like.

0:40:59 > 0:41:05- But that market, is that ever tough. - I'll tell you something, I've been going up there for a long time.

0:41:05 > 0:41:09I've not been up for ten years. My goodness, what a difference a decade makes.

0:41:09 > 0:41:13- Shall we see what the damage is? - Shall we? Are you ready?- Yes. - This is profit.

0:41:13 > 0:41:18- Yes.- OK. One, two, three...

0:41:20 > 0:41:21Look at that.

0:41:22 > 0:41:28After their losses, our boys may not have made the profit margins they'd hoped for in rainy Islington,

0:41:28 > 0:41:29but one thing is for sure,

0:41:29 > 0:41:34they've both been building up their profit pot all week over a series of challenges,

0:41:34 > 0:41:39so it's time to reveal whether Knocker or The Fox will be this week's King of the Dealers.

0:41:39 > 0:41:43Shall we see as a result how we got on over the entire week?

0:41:43 > 0:41:48- You better count me in, Knocker. - OK, let's go. One, two, three...

0:41:48 > 0:41:53- And where are we?- Oh, look. You've...- Oh!- That... Do you know...

0:41:53 > 0:41:56- ERIC LAUGHS - Well, even so...- That is close. - Yes, it's close.

0:41:56 > 0:42:00I think that's an honourable score.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03All I can say in the meantime, Phil, is

0:42:03 > 0:42:06have I got a pair of earrings for you.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10But I think you've got... Listen, come and try them on.

0:42:10 > 0:42:14So, overall victory goes to Knocker.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17Both our experts have notched up good profits

0:42:17 > 0:42:22and every penny they've made will be going to their chosen charities.

0:42:27 > 0:42:29For me, the money is going to go in memory

0:42:29 > 0:42:33of a local Worcester boy called Dan James for spinal research,

0:42:33 > 0:42:35and that really means a lot.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37In memory of my friend Tim Ward,

0:42:37 > 0:42:43my money's going to the Lancashire & South Cumbria Kidney Patients Association.

0:42:43 > 0:42:47Well, after a week of no-holds-barred combat,

0:42:47 > 0:42:51both our experts have put their money where their mouths are

0:42:51 > 0:42:53and proved they've got what it takes to make a profit

0:42:53 > 0:42:57from antiques when their own money is on the line.
