This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth is,

0:00:020:00:04

the show that takes the titans of the antiques trade

0:00:040:00:08

and pitches them against each other

0:00:080:00:11

to see who can make the most money from buying and selling.

0:00:110:00:16

That's amazing, truly amazing!

0:00:160:00:19

Today, dazzling newcomer Catherine Southon

0:00:190:00:22

takes on vivacious veteran Charlie Ross

0:00:220:00:25

in an all-out battle for profit,

0:00:250:00:28

giving you the inside view on the secrets of the trade.

0:00:280:00:32

Coming up, our experts cast aside convention

0:00:320:00:36

in their quest for victory.

0:00:360:00:38

What are you doing down here?

0:00:380:00:40

Catherine illustrates the pitfalls of buying at auction.

0:00:400:00:44

Don't do what Catherine Southon has just done

0:00:440:00:47

and buy the items and then look at them.

0:00:470:00:49

And could Charlie Ross be about to abandon it all for a new career?

0:00:490:00:54

If you get excited in court, won't it fall off?

0:00:540:00:58

It's time to put your money where your mouth is!

0:00:580:01:01

Today's extravaganza reveals what goes down when auctioneers attack,

0:01:150:01:19

as Put Your Money veteran Charlie "The Charmer" Ross

0:01:190:01:24

takes on young pretender "Cunning" Catherine Southon

0:01:240:01:28

in the antique-buying territory that's most familiar to them,

0:01:280:01:32

the auction house.

0:01:320:01:33

The Charmer is very much the respected master.

0:01:330:01:37

He's wielded the gavel

0:01:370:01:39

at multi-million-pound vintage car auctions across the USA.

0:01:390:01:42

She think she's giving this old man a right good whipping.

0:01:420:01:45

Young Catherine learnt her trade at Sotheby's auction house

0:01:450:01:49

before going solo

0:01:490:01:51

as a dealer, valuer and auctioneer of great cunning.

0:01:510:01:54

If I see him bidding, it's war.

0:01:540:01:58

They both have £1,000 of their own money to spend,

0:01:580:02:02

and their mission is to make as much profit as possible,

0:02:020:02:05

all of which will go to their chosen charities.

0:02:050:02:08

The Leicestershire town of Market Harborough

0:02:080:02:11

won't have seen a battle like this since the English Civil War.

0:02:110:02:15

Enjoy the ride as these two mighty hammerheads go head-to-head.

0:02:150:02:20

Hee-hee! Hello!

0:02:230:02:25

With a crash like that... it could only be you, Charlie.

0:02:250:02:28

-How are you?

-I'm very well. Have you been here all night?

0:02:280:02:32

No, I've only just got here!

0:02:320:02:34

I have been here earlier than you, having a sneaky peek.

0:02:340:02:36

-What have you got, £1,000?

-£1,000.

0:02:360:02:38

-So have I.

-How are you going to spend yours?

0:02:380:02:41

-With absolute ease.

-Really?

0:02:410:02:43

I always buy things across the room without looking at them properly.

0:02:430:02:47

-Yes.

-I'm not going to do that today.

0:02:470:02:49

I'm sticking to things I've looked at thoroughly

0:02:490:02:52

and about which I know something. What about you?

0:02:520:02:54

-I'm going to be very selective, I know what I want to buy.

-Yeah.

0:02:540:02:58

-And I'm going to stick to my limits.

-Is there much furniture?

0:02:580:03:01

-There's a few little bits and pieces.

-Yeah, I must go and have a look.

0:03:010:03:05

-I shall see you...later.

-Good luck.

0:03:050:03:08

Watching this pair, you'd think they were buddies,

0:03:080:03:10

but don't be fooled.

0:03:100:03:13

Now the game is on, our two titans of the trade are ready for a tussle,

0:03:130:03:17

combining their considerable nous

0:03:170:03:19

with every tactical trick they can muster to gain the advantage.

0:03:190:03:24

From the get-go, it seems cunning Catherine

0:03:240:03:27

has got the measure of the Charmer.

0:03:270:03:30

His plan was to look at things very carefully, to be very cautious.

0:03:300:03:33

I think he's doing that, actually.

0:03:330:03:37

He's pretending he's playing around, but he's no fool.

0:03:370:03:41

Indeed he's not.

0:03:410:03:42

When it comes to tactics, this Charmer is one smooth mover.

0:03:420:03:47

# You've been hit by

0:03:470:03:48

# You've been hit by a smooth criminal... #

0:03:480:03:51

Anyone for a biscuit?

0:03:510:03:54

Yes, behind the old-school charm, our Charlie is a sharp as a razor.

0:03:540:03:58

She said she was going to stick to her plan

0:03:580:04:01

and she wasn't going to be moved.

0:04:010:04:03

We'll see if we can get her to pay too much for something.

0:04:030:04:06

The auction will be starting soon,

0:04:060:04:08

so the Charmer and his cunning counterpart

0:04:080:04:11

must rifle through as many of the 760 lots as they possibly can

0:04:110:04:17

in order to choose their weapons of war.

0:04:170:04:20

Charlie is the first to spot a potential purchase.

0:04:200:04:23

William Moorcroft

0:04:230:04:25

worked for the Macintyre factory in the 19th century

0:04:250:04:28

then started on his own,

0:04:280:04:30

and then the factory was taken over by his son Walter,

0:04:300:04:33

and the factory still goes today.

0:04:330:04:36

And this is really nice,

0:04:360:04:38

because it's got a label on the bottom here, "Pansy pattern,"

0:04:380:04:41

which is what it is, Moorcroft, signed WM, circa 1925.

0:04:410:04:46

They've put £40-60, I'd pretty happily pay £60 for it.

0:04:460:04:50

Fingers crossed.

0:04:500:04:52

Catherine is carving through this auction house with laser-beam focus,

0:04:520:04:56

seeking out the item that might be a cut above the rest.

0:04:560:05:00

When it comes to seeking out bargains, she's simply the best.

0:05:000:05:04

# You're simply the best

0:05:040:05:05

# Better than all the rest... #

0:05:090:05:11

I quite like this. It is a bit wacky, a barber's chair.

0:05:140:05:18

Probably... I don't know, mid-20th century.

0:05:180:05:21

I like unusual pieces,

0:05:210:05:23

and something like this would make a good prop.

0:05:230:05:25

It has no guide price.

0:05:250:05:28

I think it should probably be about £20-30.

0:05:280:05:31

If I can get it for that, I would be very happy.

0:05:310:05:34

If not, I'll give Charlie a short-back-and-sides.

0:05:340:05:38

Yes, fighting talk from our cunning lady,

0:05:380:05:40

but there's a whole catalogue to work through,

0:05:400:05:43

and success will come to whoever keeps their hair on.

0:05:430:05:47

Now, when I saw this in the catalogue,

0:05:480:05:51

I phoned up a judge friend of mine

0:05:510:05:53

and said, "What about barrister's wigs?"

0:05:530:05:55

He said, "Things do look for..."

0:05:550:05:58

There must be three curls or rolls either side, which it's got.

0:05:580:06:01

Two at the back, which it's got.

0:06:010:06:04

Check the stitching underneath... and that looks pretty good.

0:06:040:06:09

Try it on...

0:06:090:06:11

Miss Southon. Take her down...

0:06:120:06:16

..and take her away.

0:06:170:06:19

So I might buy it.

0:06:200:06:22

Nice little daydream, Roscoe, but the lady's here to stay.

0:06:220:06:26

With just moments to go before today's auction kicks off,

0:06:260:06:29

our duelling dealers know

0:06:290:06:31

that victory will go to the one who buys the most profitable pieces.

0:06:310:06:35

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sale today.

0:06:380:06:42

We'll start with lot number one...

0:06:420:06:44

As the auction house settles into rapt anticipation,

0:06:440:06:48

bidding begins,

0:06:480:06:49

and our duelling duo are hit with their first curveball of the day.

0:06:490:06:53

It's quite interesting - he's selling the smalls,

0:06:530:06:57

and generally a porter holds up the lots so that you can see them.

0:06:570:07:02

There is nobody holding up the lots,

0:07:020:07:05

which means it makes impulse buying almost impossible,

0:07:050:07:10

because, er... I can't see half the things on the table.

0:07:100:07:13

Charlie's not wrong - both our warring warriors now face a major dilemma.

0:07:150:07:20

Do they bid only on the items they've had time to look at

0:07:200:07:23

or do they take a major risk by bidding on items unseen?

0:07:230:07:28

The Charmer's not having any of that.

0:07:280:07:31

He's sneaking his way to the front

0:07:310:07:33

to get a better look at the line-up of items.

0:07:330:07:36

He's a dark horse!

0:07:360:07:38

The sale's already started, he's not wasting a single moment.

0:07:380:07:43

He's over on his hands and knees looking at every single lot.

0:07:430:07:48

Cheeky monkey.

0:07:480:07:50

Well, Catherine, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

0:07:500:07:54

In no time, Catherine's spotted a set of rosewood tea caddies.

0:07:540:07:58

It's in quite bad condition.

0:07:580:08:01

But it's the sort of thing that a restorer might like.

0:08:010:08:03

It needs a new lock here.

0:08:030:08:06

The interior needs a bit of work there.

0:08:060:08:11

Yes, watch out, Catherine, you've got a Charmer incoming.

0:08:110:08:14

What are you doing down here?

0:08:140:08:17

Come on, you two, back on your feet, please!

0:08:170:08:20

Sanity is restored, but these duelling dealers

0:08:200:08:24

are determined to keep a close eye on each other.

0:08:240:08:27

-# Can't take eyes off you... #

-Looking more cunning than ever.

0:08:270:08:32

Charlie's making me nervous, he keeps looking at me and staring at me.

0:08:320:08:36

He's looking at me, I don't like it!

0:08:380:08:40

There's a real battle of wills playing out here today,

0:08:420:08:45

but it looks like it's Charlie who's the first into the fray.

0:08:450:08:49

His Moorcroft bowl is next up.

0:08:490:08:52

-Er, 86, Moorcroft...

-Here we go.

0:08:520:08:56

He's bidding on Moorcroft, he loves a bit of Moorcroft.

0:08:560:08:59

Lots of interest, 150, 160, 170...

0:08:590:09:02

There's a string of bids on this item.

0:09:020:09:04

-Ten, sir?

-The Charmer looks positively pained.

0:09:040:09:09

-90?

-No more, sir.

-Oh, and he's beaten.

0:09:100:09:13

He's struggling. He's out!

0:09:130:09:16

300 I'll take.... £290 and away.

0:09:160:09:20

GAVEL BANGS

0:09:200:09:22

Catherine thinks it's hilarious, but will she fare any better?

0:09:220:09:26

-One of her lots is next up.

-Lot 87.

-87, these are the tea caddies.

0:09:260:09:31

Bidding starts at £30. 35, 40, five.

0:09:310:09:36

50, five... 60...

0:09:360:09:39

-£60, selling in the room at £60...

-60 at the moment.

0:09:400:09:44

Oh, she's done it, Catherine lands the first purchase of the day,

0:09:440:09:49

four mahogany and rosewood tea caddies

0:09:490:09:52

for just under £71, including fees.

0:09:520:09:55

She's bought a moneybox, a tea caddy and two other caddy boxes,

0:09:550:10:00

which...I suppose would be quite good for starting a fire, really.

0:10:000:10:05

Ooh, harsh words, Charmer. You need to keep your hair on and show us what you're made of.

0:10:050:10:09

Right, here comes the barrister's wig.

0:10:090:10:12

It would look rather good on Miss Southon, wouldn't it?

0:10:120:10:15

I really, really don't want him to get this.

0:10:150:10:18

The bidding starts in earnest,

0:10:180:10:20

and the Charmer has some competition from cyberspace.

0:10:200:10:23

£70 is in the room. At 75.

0:10:230:10:26

-There's a magistrate on the internet.

-80.

0:10:260:10:28

Tell him I'll send him down, sir.

0:10:280:10:30

-90.

-And it's with Charlie.

0:10:300:10:32

£90 I am bid. And 95.

0:10:320:10:35

He's not listening. 100.

0:10:350:10:37

LAUGHTER

0:10:370:10:38

At £100, I am bid, then, at 100. Is that 110? New bidder. Thank you.

0:10:380:10:42

At £110.

0:10:420:10:43

LAUGHTER

0:10:430:10:47

He is there, 120. 130.

0:10:480:10:49

140.

0:10:510:10:52

140 bid this side, then. At 140 and selling, at £140.

0:10:520:10:57

Thank you, your honour!

0:10:580:11:01

Ah, what a character.

0:11:010:11:02

Charlie bags his barrister's wig for just over £165, including fees.

0:11:020:11:08

Both our dealers are on one purchase apiece,

0:11:110:11:13

but Catherine's picked out a pair of cast-iron doorstops

0:11:130:11:16

-in the shape of lion's paws.

-GROWLING

0:11:160:11:18

Pardon. It's a jungle in this auction room, but our cunning Catherine emerges victorious

0:11:180:11:24

and takes the doorstops for nearly £50, including fees.

0:11:240:11:28

Only time will tell whether her risk of buying unseen will pay off.

0:11:280:11:33

So far, we've got a pretty even fight on our hands with these two auction-house heavyweights.

0:11:330:11:38

They both started the day with £1,000 of their own money.

0:11:400:11:44

Veteran Charlie has only made one purchase,

0:11:450:11:48

but with fees included, he's spent a tad over £165,

0:11:480:11:52

leaving him with just under £835 still to spend.

0:11:520:11:57

Young pretender Catherine has bagged two buys,

0:11:570:12:00

spending a little over £120, with fees.

0:12:000:12:03

So, she's got a shade under £880 left.

0:12:030:12:06

Round two begins with our adversarial auctioneers

0:12:100:12:13

pretty much neck and neck.

0:12:130:12:15

Charlie starts this round knowing he needs to secure a second purchase,

0:12:160:12:19

a signature piece that will give real satisfaction.

0:12:190:12:23

Look what I've found, the Rolling Stones' autographs.

0:12:250:12:29

I asked the auctioneer whether he thought they were genuine,

0:12:290:12:32

and indeed they are.

0:12:320:12:34

The lady who has put this into auction saw them

0:12:340:12:37

at a concert somewhere near here, ran round the back afterwards,

0:12:370:12:41

and got their signatures.

0:12:410:12:42

So, we know, on good authority, that they're the right thing.

0:12:420:12:46

I reckon the Rolling Stones' signatures,

0:12:460:12:49

I could probably get certainly 300-£400 for them.

0:12:490:12:52

Yes, a good spot, Roscoe, but now you've got to win it.

0:12:520:12:55

363, autograph album, £110 opens the bidding.

0:12:550:13:00

Oh, and the bids are racing away like Wild Horses,

0:13:000:13:05

and for the second time today,

0:13:050:13:06

Charlie's butting up against those internet bidders. And he's not chuffed.

0:13:060:13:10

150, I'm bid 150.

0:13:100:13:12

-£160 on the net.

-Unplug it.

0:13:120:13:14

Hmm, it's not looking good.

0:13:160:13:18

£240 on the net. 250.

0:13:180:13:20

Oh, hold on.

0:13:200:13:22

All done, selling to the room, then, £250, all done.

0:13:220:13:26

Jumping Jack Flash!

0:13:260:13:28

Our very own Street Fighting Man holds firm and seals the deal

0:13:280:13:32

for £295, including fees.

0:13:320:13:36

-Parasol handle.

-Charlie's now on two items. And, with the bit between his teeth,

0:13:360:13:40

he drives on through

0:13:400:13:41

to win a pair of parasol handles for just over £33.

0:13:410:13:47

And he's delighted.

0:13:470:13:49

But, later in the day, when Charlie went to collect his purchase, he was in for a disappointment.

0:13:490:13:55

One of the handles had been accidentally given away with a different lot,

0:13:550:14:00

so the auction house agreed to refund him £15,

0:14:000:14:03

leaving him with one parasol handle for just over £18.

0:14:030:14:07

Well, I am pretty thrilled with my Victorian embossed, hallmarked silver parasol handle.

0:14:090:14:16

And it's Birmingham, 1892.

0:14:160:14:20

I don't think the ivory stem here has got much to do with it,

0:14:200:14:24

although it seems to fit rather well.

0:14:240:14:26

Here at £35...

0:14:260:14:27

The Charmer is now on three purchases to Catherine's two.

0:14:270:14:31

But the cunning one soon catches up

0:14:310:14:34

when she buys a mixed lot of six pieces for £88.50 including fees.

0:14:340:14:39

Catherine has now purchased three lots, and she's playing a tightly-controlled game.

0:14:420:14:47

But someone's keeping a very close eye on her every move.

0:14:470:14:51

# I always feel like somebody's watching me

0:14:520:14:56

# And I have no privacy Oh, oh, oh

0:14:560:15:00

# I always feel like somebody's watching me

0:15:000:15:04

# Who's playing tricks on me...? #

0:15:040:15:06

-£35. Are you ready, Charles?

-I wasn't bidding, sir!

0:15:060:15:11

I was waving at a lady.

0:15:110:15:13

Yes, watch it, Charmer, or you might find yourself paying a fortune for an item you don't want.

0:15:130:15:18

Charlie retreats to comb through his catalogue,

0:15:190:15:22

and it's not long before something catches his eye.

0:15:220:15:25

Lot 435A

0:15:250:15:27

is a nine-carat gold garnet ring together with another garnet ring.

0:15:270:15:32

Now, this isn't something I would normally buy,

0:15:320:15:35

but I do know someone who loves garnets

0:15:350:15:38

and wants to buy a garnet ring for their new grandchild,

0:15:380:15:43

but, if they don't like it then I'm really scuppered,

0:15:430:15:47

because this is a one-off chance.

0:15:470:15:49

It's a chance Charlie's willing to take,

0:15:490:15:51

and he bags the two garnet rings for just over £100, including fees.

0:15:510:15:57

Earlier today, Catherine, lover of science-related antiques,

0:15:570:16:02

spotted a Victorian engraving that got her pulse a-racing.

0:16:020:16:06

As you probably know, I have an interest in scientific instruments.

0:16:060:16:10

What I like about this is it's an engraving

0:16:100:16:13

of the distinguished men of science of Great Britain.

0:16:130:16:17

We've got James Watt, we've got Herschel,

0:16:170:16:19

but it's a great period piece.

0:16:190:16:22

I love the folios in the front, I love this lovely globe to the side.

0:16:220:16:26

And they're all in the Royal Institution.

0:16:260:16:28

That's the setting.

0:16:280:16:30

I know that I can probably sell this to one of my scientific buyers.

0:16:300:16:34

£40-£60, I'm going to bid hard.

0:16:340:16:37

Monochrome engraving, in the frame, £45.

0:16:370:16:40

Catherine's in at 45.

0:16:400:16:42

But the bidding's racing up.

0:16:420:16:44

90, five, 100, 120.

0:16:440:16:48

130, back in.

0:16:480:16:49

-135.

-135.

0:16:490:16:52

Oh, and look at that, she's delighted.

0:16:540:16:58

She's got the monochrome for just over £159.

0:16:580:17:02

Next up is the barber's chair she spotted at the start of the day.

0:17:020:17:06

The barber's chair.

0:17:060:17:08

-A lot of interest in the barber's chair.

-That's me out, so far.

0:17:080:17:12

The bidding has to start with me at no reserve at £40 on commission,

0:17:120:17:16

45, 50, five, 60, five.

0:17:160:17:19

-That's me out.

-Well, can't win them all, Catherine.

0:17:190:17:22

In the end the chair goes for a hair-raising £100.

0:17:220:17:26

But it's not long before Catherine's spotted another chair

0:17:260:17:29

in the catalogue.

0:17:290:17:30

It's an Edwardian corner chair,

0:17:300:17:33

and this time she wins it for just over £53, including fees.

0:17:330:17:36

But the chair brings with it a little lesson in the perils of buying without viewing.

0:17:360:17:41

Always look at the items before you buy them.

0:17:410:17:46

Don't do what Catherine Southon has just done

0:17:460:17:49

and buy the items and then look at them.

0:17:490:17:52

It was just very cheap.

0:17:520:17:55

But there is some good news.

0:17:550:17:57

The auction house offers Catherine a £25 refund on the broken chair,

0:17:570:18:01

reducing her expenditure on it to just over £28.

0:18:010:18:05

Item 26, the cushioned mirror.

0:18:050:18:07

The Charmer's just bagged his fifth item of the day,

0:18:070:18:10

a brass mirror for just under £83, including fees.

0:18:100:18:14

Flash but new.

0:18:150:18:18

Bit like Southon, really.

0:18:180:18:20

Again, our duelling dealers are level pegging with five items each,

0:18:200:18:24

but the Charmer is on a roll,

0:18:240:18:25

and next he's bidding on an Edwardian armchair.

0:18:250:18:30

Charlie gets his chair for £88.50 including fees.

0:18:300:18:34

But Catherine is hot on his heels,

0:18:360:18:38

and her weapon of choice is an antique oak wool winder.

0:18:380:18:42

And it's hers for just over £41.

0:18:430:18:46

So, has she played a blinder with her winder?

0:18:470:18:50

This is a classic example of look before you buy.

0:18:500:18:56

Oh, dear. This is deja vu, Catherine.

0:18:580:19:01

I have absolutely no idea

0:19:010:19:04

who I'm going to sell this to, and to top it all, it's falling apart.

0:19:040:19:08

Great(!)

0:19:080:19:10

Oh, that's got to hurt!

0:19:100:19:12

It's now the final furlong in this auction Grand National,

0:19:120:19:15

and Catherine is not ready to drop the pace.

0:19:150:19:18

She's spotted an Edwardian overmantle mirror in the catalogue,

0:19:180:19:22

and by golly, she's having a go.

0:19:220:19:25

Sold and away!

0:19:250:19:26

Well, you've got it, Catherine, an item seized in the nick of time.

0:19:260:19:31

Thank you all for your bidding, pay up, look happy.

0:19:330:19:35

So, the curtain has fallen on this auction altercation.

0:19:350:19:39

Our dealers both started the day with £1,000 of their own cash.

0:19:390:19:44

Charlie "The Charmer" chalked up a bill

0:19:440:19:46

of just under £750 including fees,

0:19:460:19:50

and he picked up six purchases.

0:19:500:19:52

"Cunning" Catherine spent less,

0:19:540:19:57

a little over £482, but she's made seven purchases.

0:19:570:20:01

With the buying part of this challenge over,

0:20:030:20:06

our warring warriors must start the process of selling their items,

0:20:060:20:11

and Catherine is not wasting any time.

0:20:110:20:13

She's been approached by someone interested in buying a brass button hook that was part of the mixed lot

0:20:130:20:18

that Catherine purchased earlier for £88.50.

0:20:180:20:22

How much are you happy to give me on this?

0:20:220:20:25

I was thinking about £8.

0:20:250:20:26

-No. £30.

-Meet me in the middle.

0:20:260:20:28

-25.

-That sounds good to me.

0:20:280:20:31

Catherine's made her first sale for £25,

0:20:310:20:34

and she goes on to sell her damaged Edwardian corner chair for £38

0:20:340:20:40

to the lady who bid against her.

0:20:400:20:42

Catherine is in the driving seat,

0:20:420:20:43

but that's not going to stop the Charmer

0:20:430:20:46

having a little dig at one of her purchases

0:20:460:20:49

when they compare their antiques armoury.

0:20:490:20:51

I've got an idea with the wool winder. If you put another couple of spokes into it,

0:20:510:20:55

you could make it into a hamster wheel.

0:20:550:20:57

-What about you?

-I bought that delicious mirror.

0:20:570:21:01

-You think it's delicious?

-There was just a hint of sarcasm in my voice.

0:21:010:21:06

-What about this wig, Charlie?

-It's wonderful.

0:21:060:21:09

-You're authoritarian with that on.

-Well, I haven't got the brains to be a barrister,

0:21:090:21:14

so the least thing I can do is buy the wig.

0:21:140:21:16

Our antiques entrepreneurs have swum the raging river of buying,

0:21:190:21:23

but must now climb the lofty mountain of selling.

0:21:230:21:26

And it gets harder from here on in.

0:21:260:21:28

Our would-be selling superheroes return

0:21:280:21:31

to the sanctuary of home to plot out their campaigns.

0:21:310:21:34

The Charmer, to awe-inspiring Oxfordshire

0:21:340:21:39

and cunning Catherine to captivating Kent.

0:21:390:21:41

With two items already sold, Catherine is surging ahead,

0:21:440:21:47

but what are her thoughts about the rest of her mighty arsenal?

0:21:470:21:51

The science print really interests me because it features

0:21:510:21:55

all the different scientists from the early 19th century.

0:21:550:21:59

Something like that would definitely go

0:21:590:22:01

to one of my science buyers, definitely.

0:22:010:22:03

Everything else worries me slightly.

0:22:030:22:08

It's going to be tough.

0:22:080:22:10

Well, in addition to her print, the First Lady of Cunning

0:22:100:22:13

also needs to shift a set of wooden tea caddies,

0:22:130:22:17

a pair of cast-iron lion paws,

0:22:170:22:19

an oak wool winder,

0:22:190:22:22

an Edwardian overmantle mirror and her remaining job lot items.

0:22:220:22:27

And what of the Charmer? What does he make of his mighty haul?

0:22:270:22:32

Two things I've more or less bought to order.

0:22:320:22:34

I do know someone that wants a bedroom chair,

0:22:340:22:38

they moved into a house relatively recently.

0:22:380:22:41

The jewellery, I know someone that loves garnets and specifically wants a garment ring.

0:22:410:22:45

And actually, in one lot, I bought two, so that's quite good.

0:22:450:22:48

The mirror was my, "Good Lord,

0:22:480:22:51

"we're getting to the end of the sale, let's buy something now,"

0:22:510:22:54

and we did. And there it is.

0:22:540:22:57

And we'll just have to hope and pray on that one.

0:22:570:23:01

Charlie also needs to sell his barrister's wig,

0:23:010:23:04

the parasol handle

0:23:040:23:06

and an autograph book.

0:23:060:23:08

Our samurais of selling will be pulling out all the stops

0:23:080:23:12

to find buyers for their items, but until they've shaken on it

0:23:120:23:16

and the cold, hard cash has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.

0:23:160:23:22

Eager to catch up with cunning Catherine quickly,

0:23:220:23:25

Charlie is first to hit the road.

0:23:250:23:27

Now, the Charmer is one of life's bigger personalities,

0:23:270:23:32

a hero in the epic mould.

0:23:320:23:34

And the majestic beauty of the Oxfordshire countryside

0:23:340:23:37

will have a profound effect on such a fellow.

0:23:370:23:41

I wandered lonely as a cloud, when, all at once, I saw a crowd,

0:23:430:23:48

a host of golden daffodils.

0:23:480:23:51

And now I'm off to sell my ring. Doesn't rhyme, does it?

0:23:520:23:56

Oh, Charlie, you nearly had us all there. Don't give up the day job, old bean.

0:23:560:24:01

Roscoe might not be much of a threat to our poet laureate,

0:24:010:24:04

but when it comes to dealing, he's a dynamo.

0:24:040:24:07

And he's brought his two garnet rings to his friend, Roger,

0:24:070:24:11

who, so far, has expressed an interest in only one of them.

0:24:110:24:15

# Who wants to buy

0:24:150:24:17

# This diamond ring...? #

0:24:170:24:20

-A-ha! How are you?

-I'm great. How are you? Good to see you.

0:24:200:24:24

-What a great lifestyle, working in the sunshine.

-You can't beat it.

0:24:240:24:28

-I won't keep you long, but you know why I'm here, don't you?

-I do, yes.

0:24:280:24:31

-Close your eyes.

-And hold out my hand.

0:24:310:24:34

What do you think?

0:24:340:24:36

Oh, I say!

0:24:360:24:37

Oh, that's fantastic.

0:24:370:24:39

-You do actually like it?

-I do.

-Good. Who's it for?

0:24:390:24:43

-It's for my wife.

-I thought it was for your new granddaughter.

0:24:430:24:47

That's the other reason. Grandson, Charlie.

0:24:470:24:49

-Grandson?

-That's the other reason.

0:24:490:24:52

Does your grandson want a garnet ring?

0:24:520:24:55

It's to commemorate. He's going to be ten days old today.

0:24:550:25:01

You're a garnet freak?

0:25:010:25:02

Yes.

0:25:020:25:04

-I think it's high time to reveal my hidden card.

-Ah!

0:25:040:25:08

-Exhibit number two.

-Oh, I say!

0:25:080:25:10

Ooh, a favourable reaction!

0:25:100:25:13

Look at that.

0:25:130:25:14

-Do you like that one?

-I do.

0:25:140:25:16

-Is it a BOGOF?

-What?!

0:25:160:25:19

Buy One Get One Free.

0:25:190:25:20

-HE GUFFAWS

-Certainly not! No!

0:25:200:25:23

I was going to say 150, for one, but 200 for two.

0:25:230:25:30

-That sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

-Hmmm.

-I'll give you 175 for the two.

0:25:300:25:35

I'll take that. It's a deal!

0:25:350:25:38

Well, that's fantastic!

0:25:380:25:40

The cyclone of charm does the business,

0:25:400:25:42

grabbing nearly £75 profit from the deal.

0:25:420:25:46

Time to toddle off home to plan the next attack.

0:25:460:25:50

Back in Kent, cunning Catherine is also out on the road.

0:25:520:25:56

She's taking her ornamental mirror to shop owner Lindsay

0:25:560:26:00

in West Wickham.

0:26:000:26:02

# Mirror in the bathroom please talk free

0:26:020:26:04

# The door is locked... #

0:26:040:26:06

Kate, Lindsay, I love the little bits and pieces you've got here.

0:26:060:26:10

It just seems you bought these items and painted them up,

0:26:100:26:13

and given them your own little style.

0:26:130:26:15

So, where do you get things?

0:26:150:26:16

Upcycling, it's called.

0:26:160:26:18

-Oh, upcycling, I like that! I like that.

-It's the new word.

0:26:180:26:21

The it-word at the moment.

0:26:210:26:23

Brown furniture is out and it won't come back for a long, long time.

0:26:230:26:27

So we've just hit it at the right time.

0:26:270:26:30

It's not like shabby chic, it's more like vicarage chic.

0:26:300:26:33

That's what we like to call it, vicarage chic.

0:26:330:26:35

Let's not be too horrible about brown furniture,

0:26:350:26:38

because I have brought you a piece of brown furniture!

0:26:380:26:42

Yes.

0:26:420:26:43

But I'm hoping you can see beyond that,

0:26:430:26:46

and you can do something with this.

0:26:460:26:48

Did you have a figure in mind?

0:26:500:26:52

I did. I was hoping for around £100.

0:26:520:26:55

-No, couldn't give you 100.

-That was a very definite no. What about 85?

0:26:560:27:01

-All right, 85.

-85?

0:27:010:27:04

-85 it is.

-Done!

0:27:040:27:07

A great-looking sale that reflects brilliantly on our Catherine.

0:27:070:27:11

She's earned herself £40 profit.

0:27:110:27:13

She then burns across to Otford in Kent

0:27:130:27:18

with her four tea caddies to see her restorer friend Chris.

0:27:180:27:21

I'd go up to 70.

0:27:210:27:24

Can we squeeze another £5 out?

0:27:240:27:26

-Yeah, OK.

-Is that all right?

-Yes, that's fine.

0:27:280:27:32

Well, it's not the easiest sale,

0:27:320:27:34

but Catherine manages a profit of just over £4.

0:27:340:27:38

Well, I'm a little bit disappointed in that,

0:27:380:27:40

but, at the end of the day, I did pay a little bit too much for them

0:27:400:27:43

at auction, so I should be grateful with the profit that I made.

0:27:430:27:47

She sells the white metal buckle from her job lot of items for £50,

0:27:470:27:51

which leaves her £13.50 shy of making an overall profit on the lot.

0:27:510:27:57

With that sales hat-trick, Catherine has got to be the odds-on favourite to storm this race.

0:27:570:28:02

However, the seasoned thoroughbred that is Charlie Ross

0:28:020:28:07

isn't in it to be an also-ran.

0:28:070:28:09

He'll take it to the final furlong and beyond.

0:28:090:28:12

He's even working up his own fashion line for the spectators.

0:28:120:28:15

The latest Ascot hat.

0:28:150:28:19

The Roscoe Edwardian chair hat!

0:28:190:28:21

Hats off to the dapper chap. He thinks he's sorted his next sale.

0:28:220:28:27

I've got the Edwardian cross-banded chair in the boot,

0:28:270:28:30

and we're off to see Cheryl, a friend of mine who wants,

0:28:300:28:34

desperately, a spare chair for one of her bedrooms.

0:28:340:28:37

Is it what you're looking for, madam?

0:28:370:28:42

Well, I think it is.

0:28:420:28:44

Can I tempt you with a price?

0:28:440:28:48

Go on, then.

0:28:480:28:49

£140.

0:28:490:28:50

No. 120.

0:28:520:28:54

Yes?

0:28:550:28:56

120. Deal?

0:28:560:28:58

Got a deal.

0:28:580:29:00

Mwah!

0:29:000:29:01

With £31.50 profit in his pocket,

0:29:010:29:03

the Charmer is now sitting pretty in this competition.

0:29:030:29:07

But not for long.

0:29:070:29:08

The sale of his brass mirror doesn't go to plan.

0:29:080:29:11

He'll need to take a cold, hard look at himself

0:29:110:29:14

after losing almost £3 on it.

0:29:140:29:16

MUSIC: "Land of Hope and Glory"

0:29:160:29:18

London. The capital of England is steeped in history and grandeur.

0:29:180:29:23

The Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge,

0:29:230:29:27

and the oldest research body in the world - the Royal Institution of Great Britain.

0:29:270:29:32

It's the setting depicted in cunning Catherine's engraving,

0:29:320:29:36

and so she's brought it here to show to Arthur,

0:29:360:29:38

a scientific historian

0:29:380:29:40

who she's hoping can give her more information about it.

0:29:400:29:43

Well, this is fantastic, being in the British Institution Library,

0:29:430:29:48

which is where my engraving is set.

0:29:480:29:50

Isn't it? The first thing I noticed when we walked into the room was,

0:29:500:29:55

on the wall behind us, the big convex mirror.

0:29:550:29:59

And that must be it in the original painting.

0:29:590:30:04

Fantastic. But this actual scene is purely fictitious.

0:30:040:30:08

The painter didn't come here and have this group of scientists all in this room.

0:30:080:30:13

No.

0:30:130:30:14

It is possible that they did gather in a number of this sort of size,

0:30:140:30:20

because they must have been members of this institution,

0:30:200:30:24

but the artist couldn't have possibly painted them

0:30:240:30:26

all at the same time.

0:30:260:30:28

-No.

-So, he would have taken portraits of them later.

-Individually.

0:30:280:30:33

And the original painting, of which this is an engraving,

0:30:330:30:36

we believe is in the Portrait Gallery.

0:30:360:30:39

It is in the NPG, yes.

0:30:390:30:40

Arthur, thank you for your knowledge.

0:30:400:30:42

Hopefully, I I'll be able to use that to sell it.

0:30:420:30:45

Let's hope you get a buyer for it. You should, it's a nice thing.

0:30:450:30:48

It is a nice thing. Come on. Let's go and get a cup of tea.

0:30:480:30:51

Now she's got the knowledge, we'll see whether Catherine will be able

0:30:510:30:54

to put it to good use and command a higher price for her engraving.

0:30:540:30:59

Back in Oxfordshire, the late-night oil is burning.

0:30:590:31:03

The Charmer is doing some research of his own on his barrister's wig.

0:31:030:31:07

No, no he's not.

0:31:080:31:10

Anyway, as we hit the halfway point,

0:31:100:31:12

it's time to see how our champion chasers are racing.

0:31:120:31:16

After a slow start, Charmer Charlie

0:31:160:31:18

has now sold three of his six items and made nearly £104 profit.

0:31:180:31:24

Cunning Catherine had a great start,

0:31:240:31:26

selling two items whilst still at the auction.

0:31:260:31:28

But things aren't so rosy at the halfway point.

0:31:280:31:31

She's yet to break even on her job lot of items,

0:31:310:31:33

so her profit currently stands at £41.

0:31:330:31:38

As the sun rises on the second half of our epic antiques adventure,

0:31:400:31:43

Charmer Roscoe is up and about, bright eyed and bushy-tailed.

0:31:430:31:48

And he's made a little change to his silver parasol handle.

0:31:480:31:52

If you have a Victorian silver and ivory parasol handle,

0:31:520:31:58

there's only one thing to do with it, really.

0:31:580:32:00

Take it to a local carpenter and give him a fiver, and,

0:32:000:32:05

ladies and gentlemen, I give you the walking cane.

0:32:050:32:10

How smart is that?

0:32:100:32:11

Very smart indeed.

0:32:110:32:14

And he follows it up with another smart move, travelling down

0:32:140:32:17

to London to see an old friend at one of his favourite places.

0:32:170:32:21

MUSIC: "Soul Limbo" by Booker T and the MGs

0:32:210:32:25

Lord's. Home of English cricket.

0:32:250:32:27

All we're missing is the sound of leather on willow.

0:32:270:32:31

But I haven't got time for any of that,

0:32:310:32:33

because I've brought my cane along.

0:32:330:32:35

And I hope I'm going to sell it to John Fingleton,

0:32:350:32:39

aka Fingers, the quintessentially English cricket supporter.

0:32:390:32:44

Anyway, he loves a good cane, and, Fingers,

0:32:440:32:46

have I got the cane for you!

0:32:460:32:49

Well, Fingers, here we are at Lord's,

0:32:510:32:53

and you are the face of English cricket, are you not?

0:32:530:32:56

Some people say that. I think more the body.

0:32:560:32:59

I'm not sure I want to be the face of it.

0:32:590:33:01

-You know why I'm here?

-I've got a feeling you're going to separate me from some money.

0:33:010:33:05

I certainly am. I'm just looking at that little collection.

0:33:050:33:08

I've noticed there's nothing Victorian there, is there?

0:33:080:33:12

-Not a genuine antique.

-No genuine antiques, no.

0:33:120:33:15

I'm going to show you a genuine antique.

0:33:150:33:18

No, no, no, only if you like it.

0:33:180:33:19

Isn't that pretty?

0:33:190:33:21

-Isn't that magnificent?

-That is lovely?

0:33:210:33:24

-And it's got the hallmark on it, here.

-Can you tell me all about it?

0:33:240:33:27

-I can indeed.

-You know about these things.

-Well, I'm supposed to.

0:33:270:33:31

It has a little anchor on it, which tells you it was made in Birmingham.

0:33:310:33:35

It has, obviously, the lion passant, and then a date letter for 1892.

0:33:350:33:42

It's quite interesting.

0:33:420:33:43

People could look at this and think it wasn't Victorian,

0:33:430:33:46

because it doesn't have Victoria's head on it.

0:33:460:33:48

In 1891, when Victoria was getting a little crusty,

0:33:480:33:52

they decided to make the hallmarks without her head on them any more.

0:33:520:33:57

So, you actually get a Victorian hallmark from 1891-1901,

0:33:570:34:01

still silver, but no monarch's head.

0:34:010:34:03

-But did they continue with the monarch's head afterwards?

-Yes.

0:34:030:34:06

What are you going to try and sting me for this?

0:34:060:34:09

-75 quid.

-Not a prayer!

0:34:090:34:10

You know, Her Majesty appears on one of those nice, pink notes,

0:34:100:34:14

they're called 50. How about 50?

0:34:140:34:16

Fingers, you're a gentleman.

0:34:160:34:17

Howzat!

0:34:170:34:19

A selling wicket for Mr C Ross. Fingers gets a cane,

0:34:190:34:22

and Roscoe retires to the pavilion with nearly £27 profit.

0:34:220:34:27

# I don't like cricket, oh no

0:34:270:34:32

# I love it... #

0:34:320:34:36

Oh, dear. Cunning Catherine is in danger of being knocked for six,

0:34:360:34:40

but hold on, she thinks she may have found a buyer for her engraving.

0:34:400:34:43

When I first did some research on my science engraving,

0:34:430:34:47

I sent images to a colleague of mine in the science world,

0:34:470:34:51

and he's expressed some interest.

0:34:510:34:53

I gave him a ballpark figure of 250-350,

0:34:530:34:56

and he's said he could be interested. So, I'm going to give him a call.

0:34:560:35:01

Wish me luck.

0:35:010:35:02

OK. Good luck.

0:35:020:35:05

Hello, it's Catherine.

0:35:050:35:07

Remember the photographs of that print I sent you, the engraving?

0:35:070:35:10

The science engraving?

0:35:100:35:12

She needs to make it a big sale.

0:35:120:35:14

How does £350 sound?

0:35:140:35:17

Terrible? Erm, what about 300?

0:35:170:35:20

Deal. Fantastic.

0:35:200:35:23

Thank you very much. Thank you. Bye!

0:35:250:35:27

That was amazing. I cannot believe I sold that for £300.

0:35:290:35:33

Ah, well done, Catherine. That's a huge sale!

0:35:330:35:36

Like a mad scientist, our lady mixes bargains with selling prowess

0:35:360:35:41

and produces just under £141 profit, a seismic game-changer.

0:35:410:35:47

She's blasted her way into the lead.

0:35:470:35:50

But the Charmer isn't about to sign off.

0:35:510:35:54

He's still got the Rolling Stones autograph book,

0:35:540:35:56

which he paid £295 for,

0:35:560:35:58

and he'll need to sell it for a whopping price to make a decent profit on it.

0:35:580:36:03

Here I am. I've got the Rolling Stones' autographs.

0:36:030:36:06

And John Hayes and his family are bonkers on all memorabilia.

0:36:060:36:11

And they will buy these.

0:36:110:36:13

You hope, Charlie.

0:36:130:36:15

MUSIC: "Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones

0:36:150:36:18

I was at an auction and some autographs came up.

0:36:180:36:22

When you think of autographs, you think of you. And quite rightly.

0:36:220:36:26

Unbelievable, your collection. Ever worked out how many you've got?

0:36:260:36:30

We think we've probably got about 13,000-14,000.

0:36:300:36:34

What's the most valuable one?

0:36:340:36:36

What, piece of memorabilia, or signature?

0:36:360:36:38

Signature.

0:36:380:36:40

Churchill, Churchill. Definitely.

0:36:400:36:41

What would that be worth?

0:36:410:36:44

Well, Churchill's signature's now going between £3,000-£4,000.

0:36:440:36:48

-Are they really?

-Great investment.

-My uncle was Churchill's dentist.

0:36:480:36:51

What about that? He's got a set of his dentures. They must be worth...

0:36:510:36:54

They've got to be worth more, no question(!)

0:36:540:36:56

Well, I saw these autographs and I thought, what I'm going to do,

0:36:560:37:00

I've told you what they are, it's the Rolling Stones.

0:37:000:37:04

What do you think? I'll tell you what I want for them. 750 quid.

0:37:040:37:07

-Too much, Charlie.

-Really?

-Seriously, too much.

0:37:070:37:10

Ooh, hit the brakes. That's not what the Charmer wanted to hear.

0:37:100:37:14

That was a mighty starting price, but we'll find out later

0:37:140:37:18

how close to it our Roscoe actually managed to get.

0:37:180:37:22

The cunning one has one last item to sell.

0:37:220:37:25

Her oak wool winder,

0:37:250:37:26

and she's winding her way up to Henley to see shop owner Penny.

0:37:260:37:32

There's a lady here that's got a spinning wool shop.

0:37:320:37:35

And she's expressed interest.

0:37:350:37:37

She said she's been looking for one of these for months.

0:37:370:37:40

Apparently, I've since found out that these are actually quite rare.

0:37:400:37:43

MUSIC: Recorder plays "Baa-Baa Black Sheep"

0:37:430:37:47

Good morning, Penny. Catherine Southon, hi. How are you?

0:37:510:37:54

I have brought you...a wool winder.

0:37:540:37:58

Right. Yes, it's what they call a squirrel cage.

0:37:580:38:01

How does it actually work? How would you use this?

0:38:010:38:05

You would adjust the cage.

0:38:050:38:09

Right. That moves up and down?

0:38:090:38:11

Up and down. Up to the length of the skein that you're going to wind.

0:38:110:38:17

You just pick the skein of yarn up.

0:38:180:38:21

A skein of yarn. I like that word. A skein of yarn. Right, OK.

0:38:210:38:26

-Or a hank.

-Or a hank.

0:38:260:38:28

-And then you would adjust it to the length of the hank.

-Right.

0:38:280:38:33

And then you would put it round the two cages,

0:38:330:38:37

and then find the end, and then you would either wind it off

0:38:370:38:41

on your hand into a ball, or you could put it on a ball winder

0:38:410:38:46

and turn it into a ball of wool that way.

0:38:460:38:49

So, this, a wool winder, basically turns the hank of wool...

0:38:490:38:54

Yes, into a ball of wool. You can't knit off a hank of wool.

0:38:540:38:58

-How did you get on before you had one of these?

-Husband's arms.

0:38:580:39:03

Backs of chairs. Knees.

0:39:030:39:06

Now, shall we talk about price?

0:39:060:39:09

How does £150 sound to you?

0:39:090:39:13

It's probably a bit higher than I would have gone to.

0:39:130:39:16

What about 130? Is that a nice compromise?

0:39:160:39:19

All right.

0:39:190:39:20

Are you happy with that? Lovely.

0:39:200:39:23

Mm, Miss Southon is spinning.

0:39:230:39:25

Her wool winder wound her nearly £89 profit.

0:39:250:39:29

Has Catherine done enough to take the crown back to Kent?

0:39:290:39:32

Who knows? The Charmer has one last throw of the dice.

0:39:320:39:36

His judge friend Christopher has expressed an interest

0:39:360:39:39

in the barrister's wig for a friend of his.

0:39:390:39:41

But it seems this isn't going to be the serious deal you might expect.

0:39:410:39:45

Boys will be boys.

0:39:450:39:47

When you get excited in court, won't it fall off?

0:39:480:39:52

Order, order! Gentlemen, to business, please.

0:39:560:39:59

Do wigs get longer the more senior you are?

0:39:590:40:02

When you're very, very senior, does the Lord Chancellor have one that goes down to the ground?

0:40:020:40:07

There's a very long one. That's the ceremonial wig.

0:40:070:40:10

There's the barrister's wig. And that stays whatever your age,

0:40:100:40:13

whether you are a QC or anything like that, you're still wearing the barrister's wig.

0:40:130:40:17

The judge's wig, which is the one I thought you were going to get me, is this.

0:40:170:40:23

Which is rather different.

0:40:250:40:27

That's rather like one of those helmets people wear

0:40:290:40:33

when they're riding bicycles, isn't it?

0:40:330:40:36

You do realise we're both sitting in the garden wearing them?

0:40:360:40:40

-I often do this...

-I'm sure you do.

0:40:410:40:45

So that's judgment. That's by the by.

0:40:450:40:47

Could I interest you in this wig?

0:40:470:40:50

I'd probably give you a couple of hundred for that, Roscoe.

0:40:500:40:54

Ooh!

0:40:540:40:56

Excellent, I'll take that!

0:40:560:40:57

Hold on! You've taken the wind out of my sails with that.

0:40:570:41:00

Yes, the Charmer's done it.

0:41:000:41:03

At this late stage, any profit is welcome,

0:41:030:41:05

and Charlie's made nearly £35.

0:41:050:41:07

She's travelled up and down this great land, but in the end,

0:41:090:41:12

Catherine couldn't sell all of the items from her job lot box.

0:41:120:41:16

And, overall, she makes a loss on it of £13.50.

0:41:160:41:20

But has that blown her chances?

0:41:200:41:23

Let's find out who's taken today's title.

0:41:230:41:25

Our commandos of collectibles have bravely battled their way

0:41:250:41:29

through an epic competition today.

0:41:290:41:31

They both started with £1,000 of their own money.

0:41:310:41:34

Charming Charlie spent nearly £755 on six purchases.

0:41:340:41:39

And cunning Catherine bought seven lots

0:41:390:41:41

and spent a total of just over £482.

0:41:410:41:45

But now, it's all about profit.

0:41:450:41:47

All the money Catherine and Charlie have made from today's challenge

0:41:480:41:52

will go to a charity of their choice.

0:41:520:41:54

So, without further ado, let's find out who is

0:41:540:41:57

today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.

0:41:570:42:01

-Charlie, good to see you.

-Mwah! Mwah!

0:42:010:42:03

And good to see you looking perky.

0:42:030:42:06

I'm very happy now that I've sold everything.

0:42:060:42:08

Even the wool winder?

0:42:080:42:09

The wool winder was magical!

0:42:090:42:11

I sold it to the perfect lady, who's been after one for months.

0:42:110:42:16

Then you're probably the best dealer I've ever met.

0:42:160:42:19

I know. I'm terribly clever.

0:42:190:42:21

I had fun selling my stuff.

0:42:210:42:22

What about your Stones autographs? I wish I challenged you on those.

0:42:220:42:25

The Rolling Stones will have made the difference between you and me, Miss Southon.

0:42:250:42:30

How much did you sell them for?

0:42:300:42:32

Well, you have a look. One, two, three.

0:42:320:42:36

Ho-ho! The Rolling Stones!

0:42:360:42:39

Mick Jagger did it for me. Does he do it for you?

0:42:390:42:42

-He does it for me, yeah.

-Oh, does he?!

0:42:420:42:45

Yes, he certainly does, Roscoe.

0:42:450:42:47

Let's see how Charlie got on when he sold his autographs.

0:42:470:42:50

450.

0:42:500:42:51

I think that's very fair.

0:42:520:42:54

The Charmer signed off with £155 profit, his biggest of the day.

0:42:540:42:59

And so, our resident Prince Charming takes the butcher money crown.

0:42:590:43:03

I really thought, when it came down to it,

0:43:030:43:06

that I had given Catherine a good beating.

0:43:060:43:09

But she's canny, you know, and when it came down to it,

0:43:090:43:11

there was no more than about £50 in it.

0:43:110:43:13

I think, what I had, I sold extremely well.

0:43:130:43:17

But he just did a little bit better.

0:43:170:43:19

Charlie can't celebrate for long, because tomorrow,

0:43:190:43:23

our duelling dealers will be crossing swords at an antiques fair in Newark.
