0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06The show that pitches TV's best loved antiques experts
0:00:06 > 0:00:11against each other in an all-out battle for profit...
0:00:11 > 0:00:13I'm a double-your-money girl.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16..and gives you an insider's view of the trade.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18You've got to be in it to win it.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Each week, one pair of duelling dealers
0:00:20 > 0:00:23will face a different daily challenge.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26- Lovely!- We got some work to do. Let's go.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30..putting their own money and their hard-earned reputations on the line.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34As they see who can make the most money
0:00:34 > 0:00:36from buying and selling.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Get in there!
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Today's all-out battle for profit pitches affable
0:00:41 > 0:00:44ace auctioneer Charlie Ross...
0:00:44 > 0:00:47He's trying to get his wife to run away from me! Not WITH me.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52..against mischievous mistress of miscellanea, Katherine Higgins.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I love the way everyone is so friendly here!
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Coming up, the Charmer decides he needs to toughen up.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I've never seen a man take an offer quite so quickly in all my life.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Perhaps I should have started at two.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Katherine's timing puts her in panic mode.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11I haven't readjusted my clock and my watch. So I'm an hour behind.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16And when he pushes for a sale, Charlie is less than charmed.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Oh, don't be horrid! That's ridiculous. You can't do that.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23It's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth is.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Grab an energy drink and don your tightest Lycra,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42because today, two of the top athletes of the antiques world
0:01:42 > 0:01:46are set to stretch, flex and strike,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49as they track down the creme de la creme of collectables
0:01:49 > 0:01:51in a tour de France.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53On the starting line...
0:01:53 > 0:01:56There we are, that's my commission.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Charlie "The Charmer" Ross.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01The veteran wheeler dealer who's always got a little extra in his tank.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06I wonder how much Eric Clapton wants for his bronze vases?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10And he's up against Katherine "The Great" Higgins.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Ah! I feel better already.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15The top-ranking mistress of memorabilia.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Let's see if I can get it for free.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Who'll be in hot pursuit of our yellow jersey?
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Our beautifully honed competitors will be pushing through the pain barrier
0:02:23 > 0:02:29as they race to bag the bargains which they can sell on for the biggest profit.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Our race takes place at an antiques market in the historic town of Reims
0:02:32 > 0:02:34in France's Champagne region.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39Our riders have each got £750 worth of euros to spend
0:02:39 > 0:02:42and all the profits they make will go to their chosen charities.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48So, Charlie Ross and Katherine Higgins, take your marks.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50It's time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Bonjour.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Bonjour, ca va?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Oh, yeah. Is zis not wonderful 'ere?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59It's lovely.
0:02:59 > 0:03:05- First impressions, not necessarily my era, but, you know, I'll cope. - I think you'll cope.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07How much have you got to spend?
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- £750.- Which is?- 825 euros.- Oui.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Au revoir. A bientot.- A bientot.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Our bargain buccaneers from Blighty face a Titanic time trial
0:03:20 > 0:03:23here on French soil as they race to bag the superior spoils
0:03:23 > 0:03:27and leave their opponent lagging behind in the dust.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31And as they begin their first circuit of the market,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33their years of intensive training come into play
0:03:33 > 0:03:36as they perfect their game plans for the race ahead.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40It is actually quite a big place, this.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43And you kind of lose touch with where everything is, or I do.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46And so my strategy is to write a shopping list.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48So I am writing a little shopping list here.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51And on it so far, are things that have kind of caught my eye.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54And I just...
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I kind of just follow people wheeling things in which is a really strange thing to do,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00but occasionally, it can pay off
0:04:00 > 0:04:02and there might just be that gem that you have been looking for.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08While our great lady is taking careful note of what is up for grabs,
0:04:08 > 0:04:12the Charmer is prowling the aisles ready for action.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14This is a man who has come prepared.
0:04:14 > 0:04:21I didn't tell Katherine that I came here with a bulging order book.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26One or two things that I know I can sell, if I can find them here.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28And that would be great.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31So much easier to arrive back in England
0:04:31 > 0:04:33with the things more or less already sold.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37So if I can find those items, we'll be well away.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40And off he goes with his buyers' wish list
0:04:40 > 0:04:42at the forefront of his mind.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47The Charmer scans the stalls and screeches to a halt
0:04:47 > 0:04:49when he spots some motor car memorabilia.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52A Bugatti Atalante. Ho-ho!
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Probably the most expensive car you can buy -
0:04:56 > 0:04:57that's the real one!
0:04:57 > 0:04:59What do I do for a living?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I auction vintage cars in America.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Where am I going shortly? America.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07What could I sell in America?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09A vintage Bugatti. Made in Italy,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12which it should be, that is where the originals were made. Plastic undercarriage,
0:05:12 > 0:05:16metal body. How much is it?
0:05:16 > 0:05:1712 euros.
0:05:17 > 0:05:23I can get 30 or 40 for that from a very rich American who buys vintage cars.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I'm going to open negotiations.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Excusez-moi, Monsieur...
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Madame.- 'Ooh! Bad start. She is not a monsieur.'
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- ..Bugatti pour cinq euros? - Non.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- Non.- Dix euros.- Dix.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Oui. Magnifique.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Charlie's offer of five euros gets rebuffed, so he agrees a deal for 10.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I think she's going to wrap it for me.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Speeding into an early lead by grabbing the blue Bugatti
0:05:51 > 0:05:53for a fraction over £9.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59One freshly wrapped Bugatti, and off to America I go.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04So, with the Charmer bagging what he thinks will be a sure-fire bet,
0:06:04 > 0:06:08the pressure is on Katherine The Great and her shopping list.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Her first spot is an archetypal product of champagne country.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15The key thing about these is run your finger around the top.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17And there are no chips.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Chips spell a problem, really.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24And these are a really nice set.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29They are a very nice set. Very nice set of 10. So, um...
0:06:29 > 0:06:32little price label on the bottom. Haven't looked at this.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36It says here, 55 euros for 10 coupes, bowls.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39So what's that, about £4 a glass?
0:06:39 > 0:06:44That is cheaper than if I shopped online at a high street store. These are cheaper.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48But I'm not satisfied. They have to be less than that for me. So let's do some bargaining.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Quarante, et je suis d'accord.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- Trente-huit?- Trente-huit, si vous voulez.- Oui.- Voila.- Oui.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58We started at 50 and we are at...trente-huit?
0:06:58 > 0:07:03And we are now on 38. So I think, trente-huit?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04- Oui.- C'est tres bien. Oui. Merci.
0:07:04 > 0:07:10Bottoms up. Katherine gets the glasses for £34.55.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11And she's delighted.
0:07:14 > 0:07:1810 glasses is astounding. Amazing.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21So, happy face!
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Katherine demolishes Charlie's early lead,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28but the Charmer is sticking to his strategy of buying
0:07:28 > 0:07:33with specific people in mind and he's got his next target in sight.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37It's a French comtoise clock, 19th century.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41It's an enamel dial, a white enamel dial.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43It does have damage to the dial.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46It has had a bash there, it has a little bit of crazing.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49And the case, well...
0:07:49 > 0:07:51the case is very simple.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56It's pine, and the decoration here,
0:07:56 > 0:07:58the vine decoration up here,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I suspect is later.
0:08:01 > 0:08:07And it is...200 euros. For a long case clock.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11I do have a friend who is desperate for a long case clock and has a house in France.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13But will he like it?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17The Charmer is ready to take a punt and moves in to try and strike a deal.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22..acheter cette comtoise pour cent cinquante?
0:08:22 > 0:08:27That's 150. The asking is 200.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Oui?- Oui, c'est possible.- Madame!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Mwah! Merci.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Ooh-la-la! The Charmer seals it with a kiss.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41He stumps up £136 for the towering timepiece.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49I think it's got a really nice country feel to it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53And the more I look at it, the more I like it.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Once again, our chirpy charmer takes a lead over his rival.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01But the great one is pedalling furiously. She's sticking to her list
0:09:01 > 0:09:06and has spotted something to help her make up the distance.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11I just have to show you this, because it's the most lovely box.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13It's a silk-covered box.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17And it's just is very, very pretty. I love that.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Poudre d'Orsay. Fleurs de France.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23And the colour is blanche.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28I mean, just, that is... Oh, that's romantic. This is lovely.
0:09:29 > 0:09:35I think this is quite charming. Again, a very nice little compact.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37This is the birth of early plastics.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43It's tortoiseshell style case, so it's plastic, an early plastic,
0:09:43 > 0:09:49formed to resemble tortoiseshell with a lovely lily design on the front.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Very sort of Deco in style. Love that.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58I am really struggling here, because I'm really bad in this situation
0:09:58 > 0:10:02where I have multiple choice and it's always been very hard for me.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I think I have narrowed it down to three things.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10The best price, le meilleur prix pour tout le monde, for everything, 50?
0:10:10 > 0:10:1550. 50 for everything. Oui. C'est bon.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19And Katherine closes the deal on the vintage make-up products,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22handing over £45.45.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31In the bag. I'm going off smelling now, I'm in smelling heaven.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35And her favourite of the fragrant purchases?
0:10:35 > 0:10:41It's the little, beautifully machine-tooled rouge case
0:10:41 > 0:10:47from a Place Vendome parfumier.
0:10:47 > 0:10:53Beneath this is the stamp of the Parisian parfumier
0:10:53 > 0:10:57and it's completely intact, which you just never see.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00OK, so that's exciting.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Even more exciting, it comes in its original box.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07And, wait for this,
0:11:07 > 0:11:11this other little box is the replacement rouge,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14should that ever run out. Boxed.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19So, you know, what a complete and utter joy.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Katherine is besotted with her last buy.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27But the Charmer is standing by ready to bring her right back down to earth.
0:11:28 > 0:11:34- Miss Higgins.- Ah!- What are you looking at?- He has arrived.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- I know I'm in trouble now. - Have you spent all your money?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39No. I have bought not enough things.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- I have something rather large. - You're not carrying anything?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- No, it's too big to carry. - What? What have you bought?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Something really large.- Oh, gosh. - Something enormous.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54- Boys always buy big things. - Something even taller than you. - Oh, right! And a keen price?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- What did you pay?- I'm not going to tell you! Run off, yes.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02With Charlie playing his cards close to his chest,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05we're at the first pit stop in our race for bargain booty.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09So who's leading the pack and who needs to pedal harder?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Both our peak condition profiteers have the euro
0:12:12 > 0:12:17equivalent of £750 of their own cash to spend.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Charlie "The Charmer" Ross has gone up a few gears,
0:12:20 > 0:12:24bagging two deals and spending £145.45.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Leaving him with £604.55 in his kitty.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Katherine "The Great" Higgins has also made two prime purchases.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37She has spent a mere £80, leaving her £670 to play with
0:12:37 > 0:12:40and is breathing down Charlie's neck.
0:12:40 > 0:12:46Things are really hotting up as we freewheel into the second lap
0:12:46 > 0:12:51of this race to capture the creme de la creme of collectables.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55And our duelling dealers are loving every minute of their French adventure.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00Maintenant, je mange le chien chaud.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04He's definitely there above the schoolboy French.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I think we're probably a match for each other on the speaking French.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09A hot dog.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I don't think they're known as chiens chauds.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16But the people are lovely here.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Indeed they are.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21And it seems our lady has an admirer,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23who finds her equally as lovely.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27HE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- Bonjour.- Si belle!
0:13:31 > 0:13:35And while Katherine The Great is busy keeping the locals at bay,
0:13:35 > 0:13:39the Charmer is focused on his next potential purchase.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46It's a publicity thing done by the champagne house the Chanoine Brothers of Epernay.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Epernay is the centre for champagne.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51I think this is so charming.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56The gentleman said it was for "cure-dents" - toothpicks.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00I think we could think of something sexier. Cocktail sticks would be rather good in a cocktail bar.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02It's silver plated, not silver.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Wouldn't it be lovely if it was silver?
0:14:04 > 0:14:09I think it would be worth £100 or £150, if it was silver.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Age, I don't think it's 19th century.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12I think it's certainly 20th century
0:14:12 > 0:14:15and I think it might be as late as 1950s.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17But I don't mind. It's just a lovely thing.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Now, he is wanting 25 euros. Vingt-cinq, that is.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27I would like to buy it for quinze euros, which is 15.
0:14:27 > 0:14:33Est-ce que possible d'acheter pour 15 euros? Ou non? C'est 25. Oui?
0:14:33 > 0:14:39- Tres bien. Tres bien.- He said yes to 15. I wish I had started at 10!
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Merci, monsieur.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44The Charmer bags purchase number three for £13.64.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51I've never seen a man take an offer quite so quickly in my life.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Perhaps I should have started at two.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55With one purchase already from this stall,
0:14:55 > 0:15:00Charlie is scanning to see if it might yield any other bargains.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03While Katherine is struggling to force her way through
0:15:03 > 0:15:06the pack to bag another buy,
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Charlie has discovered something quite out of place.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Look what I've spotted, here. Some Mauchline ware.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Fancy finding pieces of Scotland in the Champagne region!
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Now this is what you might call, you would call a string box
0:15:22 > 0:15:24but this is for thread, really.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Look at that. Thread dispenser.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31You put your thread reel in there and close it up and take it out.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34People collect Mauchline wear.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Here we've got I don't know what. Oh! It's a little needle case.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Isn't that sweet? With its needles.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45This gentleman has fabulous, fabulous things.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51You see, it's a small item of wood that's covered in tartan.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56And here...pin cushion.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Wonderful! Merci, monsieur. Look at that!
0:16:01 > 0:16:03This is a page marker for a book.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06A very rare thing, I would think, in Mauchline wear.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09You put it into your book to mark the page.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13And finally we have Macfarlane.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17And I know a Macfarlane. These are not cheap.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19What I could do is ask him
0:16:19 > 0:16:22what his best price would be for the whole lot.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23He might do something.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Qu'est que ce le meilleur prix pour les cinque objects?
0:16:26 > 0:16:32- Le meilleur prix?- Le meilleur prix. Oui, oui.- Trois cents.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Trois cents euros.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39He would do the lot for 300 euros, about £50...
0:16:39 > 0:16:42that's a huge discount from what he was asking.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Monsieur, trois cents. Excellent. I've gone for it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Yes. Charlie strikes again.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54The five pieces of Scottish provenance costing him £272.73.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00HE LAUGHS
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Who would've thought that Roscoe would spend 300 euros
0:17:03 > 0:17:05on five pieces of Mauchline wear?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08But I love them.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12So Charlie races further ahead with his fourth deal
0:17:12 > 0:17:15but for Katherine, time is fast becoming a trial.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Well, I had thought I was managing OK
0:17:19 > 0:17:20but my time is seriously running out.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Not helped by the fact I haven't readjusted my clock and my watch
0:17:24 > 0:17:28so I'm an hour behind and I thought I had more time than I've got.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32The red lady has scoured every inch of the market for more buys
0:17:32 > 0:17:35but is finally forced into reverse gear,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38returning to an item that caught her eye earlier.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Follow me.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46The asking price is 10 euros. Unfortunately there is some damage.
0:17:46 > 0:17:54- Five? Cinq?- No, I can't.- Because I'd have to wash them and...- Go, go.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Allez! It's good.
0:17:56 > 0:18:02- C'est bon?- It's good. Yes.- Must have been my sad face.- You win.- Ah!
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Thank you.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07So the sad face persuades the vendor to relent
0:18:07 > 0:18:10and Katherine bags her white gloves for £4.55.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16The Great One has still got more than £650 worth of euros to spend,
0:18:16 > 0:18:20but this could all be about to change with an item
0:18:20 > 0:18:23that's crying out to our lover of costume jewellery.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27The necklace that really has captured my eye is this one.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32The trial drawings are from July 1950 and they feature
0:18:32 > 0:18:36a little tiny deer whose form is instantly recognisable as Bambi.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It's beautiful.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43It is on mother of pearl, wonderfully executed with foil on the overlay.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46And what's lovely is they were given this commission.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48They were licensed to produce and be able to use
0:18:48 > 0:18:52the image on their necklaces and the whole story is there.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58The key is the price. 290 euros.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Katherine battles the asking price down to 250 euros
0:19:03 > 0:19:07and she also manages to get the original artwork thrown in.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09You are my new friend!
0:19:09 > 0:19:13So an incredible spurt of power-pedalling there
0:19:13 > 0:19:16with the deal sealed for £227.27.
0:19:20 > 0:19:27Not only am I in love, but it was a very, very good buy.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Charlie, you're lost. You're lost. Give up now.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Fighting talk from the Great One.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35But Roscoe remains cool, calm and confident.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I could go on looking but I think I've got enough purchases
0:19:38 > 0:19:41to make a really thumping good profit.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46If I buy any more I might make a mistake, so quit while you're ahead.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Wise words from The Charmer.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51But The Great One is not about to let him have the last word.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Charlie, you are always my Olympic man.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Guaranteed, I'll find you something today. And what have I found you?
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Something to stretch your mind and your body.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Can't wait to see you using it.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09What a thought, Katherine!
0:20:09 > 0:20:12# Physical, physical I want to get physical. #
0:20:12 > 0:20:16It's been one physically gruelling challenge for our duelling dealers,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19but now their buying time is up.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24The sellers are shutting up shop and it's time to check the scores.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Our athletes of the antiquarian each started the day
0:20:27 > 0:20:30with £750 of their own money to spend.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Charlie "The Charmer" Ross came armed and ready
0:20:33 > 0:20:35with his bulging order book.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37He cruises over the finishing line
0:20:37 > 0:20:41having done for deals for a total of £431.82.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Katherine "The Great" Higgins matched him mile for mile
0:20:44 > 0:20:48and deal for deal with the help of her shopping list.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Her four items cost her £311.82 in all.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55So, neither of our crafty competitors blew their budgets.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59But this game is all about who will make the bigger profit.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04And with the race over and our riders spent, it's time to reflect.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- How was it for you? - I feel mildly traumatised.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11It wasn't the breeze I thought it was going to be.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- You don't look traumatised. - I had a shopping list.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16But I haven't finished my shopping list.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- But you haven't gone pre-1900, have you?- I wouldn't, would I?
0:21:19 > 0:21:24I can see some nice things there. I don't understand that necklace thing. What's that?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27It's unique, which always helps in the world of antiques.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32It's a licensed product from a great jewellery house in 1951. Britain was still under rationing.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37- It's very special. I had to part with 250 euros.- How much were the gloves?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Five euros. - Why did you buy a pair of gloves?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44They're evening gloves and you'll to wait to see who's going to wear those.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46She's frightfully glamorous and beautiful.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51- I never thought you'd find something taller than me.- It was hard.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Is it taller than you?- Only just.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I know somebody who wants a clock for their house in France
0:21:57 > 0:22:00and I've never been able to find one for less than 400 or 500 euros.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03This was 200 and I knocked it down to 150.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- It's about 130 quid. It's not a lot of money.- That's amazing.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11I'm worried we've gone a bit modern here. You're into my territory.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16I'm going to California and Arizona and Florida to sell vintage cars
0:22:16 > 0:22:21and frankly, the underbidder of the next Bugatti I have at 12 million,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24I shall just walk up and say, "How about this one?"
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I think we should toast to our potential success
0:22:27 > 0:22:31and to the fact that we need to get on a train pretty quick.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Here goes!
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Having captured the cream of the continent's collectables,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42our two finely-honed athletes must now prepare
0:22:42 > 0:22:46to enter the arena for the next stage of this clash - the selling.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51They'll be battling to make the biggest profit on each item
0:22:51 > 0:22:54and all the money made will go to their chosen charities.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56But first, they head back to Blighty.
0:22:56 > 0:23:02The Charmer making for his maison in awe-inspiring Oxfordshire.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05And Katherine The Great racing to her apartment
0:23:05 > 0:23:08in our great and glorious capital city.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Once home, they limber up for action.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Charlie starts by assessing his impressive arsenal.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18The long case clock was 150 euros. Cheapo, cheapo!
0:23:18 > 0:23:22And very decorative, if a little tall.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26The little champagne bucket that the man said was for toothpicks,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30I'm going to sell as a cocktail stick holder.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I think it'll be far more marketable like that.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35The Mauchline ware, well, finding tartan ware,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39as it is sometimes called in France, is unusual
0:23:39 > 0:23:41but I think I got a bit carried away.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44There were five items and they cost 300 euros.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Might struggle to make much of a profit out of those,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50but don't tell Miss Higgins.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Charlie will also have to sell his model Bugatti.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58And what of The Great One?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01How does she rate her French fancies?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I loved what I bought.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I had an immediate idea about these gloves when I bought them.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07I knew where they were going to go.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09That's still at the back of my mind.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13And the compacts. Who don't I know in the world of British compacts?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I have an idea for two of them. I know where two will go. They're lovely pieces.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19The little, sweet 1930s flapper girl
0:24:19 > 0:24:23powder box, I love it dearly.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26It has to find the right buyer, cos it's a very special piece.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28As is this necklace.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32It's a really fantastic piece, with masses of what we call "provenance",
0:24:32 > 0:24:34which is the history behind it.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I need to really prove it.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38I need to find out more.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It will take loads of research,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42but if I do that,
0:24:42 > 0:24:46I could be smiling an awful lot at the end of the day.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Let's hope so, Katherine.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52And you've also got to shift the ten champagne glasses.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56So, at the crack of the starter's pistol,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58our duelling dealers are off,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01using all the tools of the trade at their disposal.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Zipping through their contacts books,
0:25:03 > 0:25:07and seeking out potential buyers to charm, cajole and convince.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11But, until they shake on it, and the money's changed hands,
0:25:11 > 0:25:12no deal is truly sealed.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21The Charmer has big plans for his first sale.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25He's about to head off on one of his regular business trips to the USA,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28where he'll be wielding his gavel at a classic car auction.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32He's taking the opportunity to pack the miniature Bugatti
0:25:32 > 0:25:34he bought for £9.09.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39I'm going to mix business with pleasure.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45MUSIC: "Living In America" by James Brown
0:25:45 > 0:25:47HE HONKS HORN AND LAUGHS
0:25:54 > 0:25:57The auction is taking place in Arizona.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Once the main event is over, Charlie stays on the podium
0:26:00 > 0:26:02to auction off his toy car.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06200 dollars, I sell. Sold! Mr Goody.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08CHEERING
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Thank you very much indeed.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- Very good bidding.- All right!
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- And a bit cheaper than the real one? - A little bit.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17So, taking exchange rates into consideration,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21he's raced away with a profit of £119.37.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Charlie's ahead of the pack from the off.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Back in Blighty, Katherine the Great's
0:26:28 > 0:26:30out on her first foray.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33She's gearing up to try and sell the two vintage compacts
0:26:33 > 0:26:34she bought in France.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I've just being doing my best catwalk poses,
0:26:37 > 0:26:42because I've brought my two compacts to a make-up school in London.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44I'm hoping they'll be tempted by these.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48She's meeting the school's training manager, Corbin.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- Corbin, hello.- Hi, Katherine.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- I've brought you this.- Oh, wow.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55This is a lovely, lovely powder compact,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57from the 1930s.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I love this gauze, so it doesn't all fall out everywhere.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I'm surprised to see that still in there. Brilliant. That's cute.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05I love the mirror as well.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- But look at this. I think you're going to melt at this.- Wow!
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Klytia, still to this day, is so well thought-after. Parisian brand.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16You would have had to really treated yourself to get this.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Even the higher-end brands, these days, in the world of make-up
0:27:19 > 0:27:24don't come with this gorgeous, embossed gold casing.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27I think someone would have been very proud to have actually used it.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29It's very, very unusual, but even better,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32it comes with a refill.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33HE LAUGHS
0:27:33 > 0:27:35So, when you've finished using it,
0:27:35 > 0:27:37you get this, which is...
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Fantastic.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- ..the perfect match.- Can I have a go?
0:27:40 > 0:27:41I should really say no,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44because you're instantly going to devalue it,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46but since it's quite important to the academy,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- I think we need to road test it first.- OK, cool.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I'm really excited about this. We'll try a little bit, and build.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- Wow! Look at that.- Look!
0:27:53 > 0:27:55A real flush of colour.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57It's actually quite a contemporary colour.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02It looks completely outrageous and vibrant in its case,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04but when you see it used...
0:28:04 > 0:28:06It's almost transparent pink. It's lovely.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09So, now you're wedded to it, I think you have to buy it, really.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12What price are you going to start me off at with the rouge?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Something along the £120 mark?
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Erm... The compact I like, as well.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23So, let say £120, for the two.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28- I'd love to think that about £150 for the pair would be about right.- OK.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- Does that sound good?- Let's say £140, and we've got a deal.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- £145.- Go on, then. Deal.- Perfect.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38So the tortoise shell compact, and rouge with refill,
0:28:38 > 0:28:42give Katherine a very elegant £145 sale.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46And, when Katherine sells the remaining powder compact
0:28:46 > 0:28:47to vintage dealer Emma for £20,
0:28:47 > 0:28:52her total profit for the makeup comes to £119.55.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Now, time is marching on for The Charmer.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01He's back in Blighty,
0:29:01 > 0:29:05and he's lugged his longcase clock round to his friend Roger's house,
0:29:05 > 0:29:08to try and convince him it would make the perfect centrepiece
0:29:08 > 0:29:10for his property in France.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13I have to say, Roger,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- you simply won't believe the price. - Go on, then.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17Quatre-cent livres.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- Sacre bleu! - CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Il est trop cher. Oui!
0:29:22 > 0:29:24- Four hundred quid?!- Trop cher.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26For a longcase clock? What do YOU think?
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Un cent. Un cent euro.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31100 euros?!
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- Ah, oui!- Monsieur!
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Trois cent?
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Deux cent, cinquante.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41250...pounds?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Ah, oui. Bien sur.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- I think that's fantastic. Yeah, go for it!- OK.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50That lively deal nets The Charmer
0:29:50 > 0:29:52a profit of £113.64.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Rosco is on fire!
0:29:59 > 0:30:01I'm bulging with cash, Miss Higgins.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Are you worried?
0:30:08 > 0:30:11But Katherine the Great is the picture of cool
0:30:11 > 0:30:14as she heads for the heights of the Centre Point tower in London,
0:30:14 > 0:30:17to try and sell the champagne glasses she picked up
0:30:17 > 0:30:20for the bargain price of just £34.55.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24The girl I'm meeting there, she lives the high life,
0:30:24 > 0:30:26and I think she's going to love these champagne glasses.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29She's heading to the bar on the 32nd floor,
0:30:29 > 0:30:33to meet her good friend, and namesake, Catherine.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34Wow!
0:30:34 > 0:30:36So, what do you think?
0:30:36 > 0:30:40They are very, very elegant, actually, Katherine.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41They're like you, really.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Beautifully elegant.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48I have always really loved this saucer-shaped champagne glass.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50We do like a glass of champagne.
0:30:50 > 0:30:51If we have a dinner party,
0:30:51 > 0:30:54we might have a quick glass, before everybody sits down.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56This is all going very well.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59What could go wrong? So, price?
0:30:59 > 0:31:03I was thinking about £15 a glass.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07That would be £150, for the ten.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09How about £12 a glass?
0:31:09 > 0:31:11I think I will go for the £12 a glass.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14£12 a glass, and you're coming to the first dinner party
0:31:14 > 0:31:16where they're going to be used.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- How lovely!- Deal!
0:31:18 > 0:31:24Yes, a fizzing profit of £85.45 for our feisty flame-haired fighter.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31The Charmer has also got the sparkling stuff on his mind,
0:31:31 > 0:31:34as he heads to London,
0:31:34 > 0:31:37to try and sell his tiny champagne bucket to wine merchant, Patrick.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41This really is quite something.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42What I want to know is...
0:31:42 > 0:31:45"Champagne, Chanoine Freres".
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I know. Do you know that name?
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Well, they are, allegedly,
0:31:48 > 0:31:51the second-oldest champagne house in Champagne.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55These people, I think, were founded in the reign of Louis XV,
0:31:55 > 0:31:58in 1730, if I'm right.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Was it an advertising thing?
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Almost certainly.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05I suspect this was given to bars and restaurants,
0:32:05 > 0:32:07so that they could put either cocktail sticks
0:32:07 > 0:32:08or toothpicks in them, probably.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12I would have said I'd probably give you 60 quid for it.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14£60 would be splendid.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16That's really kind of you!
0:32:16 > 0:32:22Yes, that's a tasty profit of £46.36 for The Charmer.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Chin-chin!
0:32:25 > 0:32:31Both our athletic antiquarians have shot off to a cracking start.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32So far, Charlie is in top gear,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34selling three of his items,
0:32:34 > 0:32:39and amassing an impressive profit of £279.37.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43While Katherine has sold two of her lots at this midway stage,
0:32:43 > 0:32:47and is in hot pursuit of The Charmer with a profit of £205.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55And so we enter the final round of today's competition,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57with Katherine having two purchases left to sell,
0:32:57 > 0:33:01while Charlie still has the collection of Mauchline ware
0:33:01 > 0:33:04that he bought for a total of £272.73.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10The Charmer's plan is to split up the five pieces,
0:33:10 > 0:33:12in order to maximise his profit.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15He makes a start by tracking down a buyer
0:33:15 > 0:33:16for the McDonald pin cushion.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19And, just to show his opponent that he's a modern day hi-tech hero,
0:33:19 > 0:33:24The Charmer will attempt to conduct the sale to his old friend Simon,
0:33:24 > 0:33:27using the wonders of the web.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Hello?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Good luck with that, Charlie!
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Is that Mr Barclay?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34I can see you!
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Mr Ross! How are you? - I'm extremely well!
0:33:37 > 0:33:41How wonderful this modern technology is!
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Now, I'm going to sell you this item, I hope.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46I would like about 150 quid for this.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Oh!
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Steady on, Ross. Now, don't get carried away.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I know you're an emotional type, old boy.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55I was sort of hoping to keep it round about
0:33:55 > 0:33:58nearer to the £95 to £105.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01If you could squeeze me up a little bit, Simon...
0:34:01 > 0:34:03What about 120 quid?
0:34:03 > 0:34:06If you're prepared to settle on £121...
0:34:06 > 0:34:08£121?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- Certainly.- I've got to get on with my work, old boy.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13I'll raise my glass to you,
0:34:13 > 0:34:15and thank you, wholeheartedly, for your £121.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17I'll wait for it in the post.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- Thank you very much indeed. Cheers. - Cheers. Bye.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24So, a terrifically tartan sale of £121,
0:34:24 > 0:34:27for the Queen Victoria pin cushion.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31But, we won't know Charlie's total profit on the Mauchline ware
0:34:31 > 0:34:35until he's sold the four remaining pieces.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Katherine's elegant and sophisticated
0:34:38 > 0:34:41round of sales continues.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43After offloading the make-p and the champagne glasses,
0:34:43 > 0:34:45she's sashaying through the snow
0:34:45 > 0:34:48to a 1930s Art Deco cinema in Hertfordshire,
0:34:48 > 0:34:51in a bid to sell the white evening gloves
0:34:51 > 0:34:53to the extraordinarily-glamorous Pauline.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54- LESLIE PHILLIPS VOICE:- Hello!
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Look at you!
0:34:58 > 0:34:59Mwah.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02When we first met, I remember you wearing Marilyn Monroe's
0:35:02 > 0:35:05actual bathing costume that was coming up for sale.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07I can't remember how much that one went for,
0:35:07 > 0:35:10but it was thousands, wasn't it?
0:35:10 > 0:35:13It was towards £20,000.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16What I have to add here is that Marilyn Monroe
0:35:16 > 0:35:19never wore what I've brought you.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- Oh, some gloves!- Look at these.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Perfect! Oh, they're lovely. They're a really nice long length, as well.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Do they fit? That's the most anxious moment, for me.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28We'll try, shall we?
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- These are vintage ones, as well, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Which is nice.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34When you have them on,
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- you can't really say no, to buy them from me, can you?- No, I can't.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40How many pounds are they going to cost me, Katherine?
0:35:40 > 0:35:42£35 is my opening gambit. Are you happy with that?
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- I am. Do you want to shake on it? - Absolutely!
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- Deal done.- Thank you, ever so.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48Marilyn, you look a picture.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Thanks.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54So, our red queen pockets a very alluring profit of £30.45
0:35:54 > 0:35:56for the evening gloves.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Over to you, Miss Monroe.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04# Happy birthday
0:36:04 > 0:36:10# Mr Ross
0:36:10 > 0:36:16# Happy birthday
0:36:16 > 0:36:19# To you. #
0:36:22 > 0:36:26The only thing is, I don't know which birthday it would be.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29In fact, I don't know which century you were born in, Charlie.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Ooh! That's a low blow.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Lucky for Katherine that her opponent is such a good egg.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38There's life in the old dog yet, Miss Higgins.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Roscoe has not finished with you yet.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44He has a few more profits up his sleeve.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47The sale The Charmer is chasing now is for three more pieces
0:36:47 > 0:36:50of his tartan Mauchline ware.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53He's travelled through the wintry Warwickshire countryside
0:36:53 > 0:36:56in a bid to persuade interior designer Libby
0:36:56 > 0:36:58that she simply must have them.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01What do you think of that?
0:37:01 > 0:37:05I think it's got its original needles in there.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- Funnily enough, although it's Scottish...- It's wood.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09It is. It's made of wood.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- No plastic with old Charlie, you know.- That's lovely.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14100 years old, or so.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16What about this little number?
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- SCOTTISH ACCENT: - That's for your thread.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- A mini mini string holder. - Yeah, it is.- A thread holder.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- It is.- Complete with thread, with a wooden...
0:37:24 > 0:37:27It's wooden, as well.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29There is a little bonus.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31I've got a pinwheel.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32This is a wheel,
0:37:32 > 0:37:34so your pins go in the side of it.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36The other ones have sandpaper, and sand, inside of them.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41- So, every time you pop a needle in, it sharpens the needle.- Oh, really?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- Do you like them? - I think they're charming.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47What I need to know is how many millions you would like for them.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Less than a million, madam. I would like £75 for that one,
0:37:50 > 0:37:53cos I think it's the nicest and the rarest one,
0:37:53 > 0:37:55and I think you'd probably like that one the most.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57I'd like £65 for that one,
0:37:57 > 0:37:59and £40 for that one.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02I was thinking sort of £10, £15 and £20.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Oh, don't be horrid!
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- That's ridiculous! You can't possibly...- Way off beam?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08You can't do that!
0:38:08 > 0:38:11I have absolutely no idea what they're worth,
0:38:11 > 0:38:12but I think they're enchanting.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14I could do a little "dealette" on the three,
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- if you liked all three. - I think you'd need to. Go on.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18The three, £150.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- Done.- Are you happy with them?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23I think they're life-enhancing, and that's what matters.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Do I get a kiss, as well? - Surely.- Mwah! Ah!
0:38:26 > 0:38:28THEY LAUGH
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Deal of the century, that was. Thank you so much.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Yes, a kiss seals the deal,
0:38:33 > 0:38:36and Charlie goes on to sell his final piece of tartan ware,
0:38:36 > 0:38:39the page marker, for £30.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43So, the total profit for his five-piece Mauchline ware purchase
0:38:43 > 0:38:45is £28.27.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Which means The Charmer sprints to the finish
0:38:49 > 0:38:51on his sales challenge
0:38:51 > 0:38:52ahead of his red-headed rival.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59But, it's profit, not speed, that matters in this race.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01And our storming siren
0:39:01 > 0:39:03has saved her best for last.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06She's been working hard to find the right buyer
0:39:06 > 0:39:08for the quirky mother-of-pearl necklace
0:39:08 > 0:39:12that she's splashed out a mighty £220.27 for.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19When I bought this necklace, I knew it was an amazing gem.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Every moment of the last three weeks
0:39:21 > 0:39:24I have devoted to researching,
0:39:24 > 0:39:27going through a lot of detail about this particular necklace.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30It's been really exciting. It's a trail of adventure
0:39:30 > 0:39:34that has led me to a buyer I never thought I would have.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40The potential buyer in question is Patricia Riekel,
0:39:40 > 0:39:43editor of Bunte, one of Germany's leading weekly magazines.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Katherine is in central London,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50to deliver the necklace to Patricia's assistant, Jennifer.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Hello, I'm Katherine. Very nice to meet you.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55How are you?
0:39:55 > 0:39:59I'm going to show you, just because I want my own piece of mind,
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- to feel a bit more comfortable, cos I'm really worried.- Absolutely.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05I've shown her photographs, so it might be OK.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08It's beautiful. And it's got such a lovely, antique feel to it.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12- I'm going to leave it with you. - Thank you.- This, and this is yours.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Lovely.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Patricia's assistant will now take the necklace to Germany,
0:40:16 > 0:40:18for her boss to have a good look at,
0:40:18 > 0:40:21and decide whether she wants to buy it, or not.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Will it be a hit? Will it offer up a game-changing profit?
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Find out in a few minutes.
0:40:27 > 0:40:33Both our road-racing rivals have given this battle their all.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35They both had £750 worth of euros to spend
0:40:35 > 0:40:37at the Reims antique market.
0:40:37 > 0:40:43Charlie made four purchases, spending a total of £431.82.
0:40:43 > 0:40:49Katherine matched him with four buys that cost her £311.82, in all.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54But the only thing that matters from here on in is profit.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58All the money Charlie and Katherine have made from today's challenge
0:40:58 > 0:41:00will be going to a charity of their choice.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03So, without further ado, it's time to find out
0:41:03 > 0:41:07who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Hello, hello!
0:41:10 > 0:41:11Bonjour, I should say.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- Oh, mais oui.- FRENCH ACCENT: - 'Ow was it for you?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16FRENCH ACCENT: It was very good.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18I think we'll drop the accents now.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21I just remember having the most lovely time with those gloves.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- Do you remember those gloves I bought?- I do!
0:41:24 > 0:41:25Were they worth anything?
0:41:25 > 0:41:27They weren't worth a huge amount,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30but they have gone to the most glorious Marilyn Monroe look-alike
0:41:30 > 0:41:32you will ever see. HE SIGHS
0:41:32 > 0:41:36They added to her final shimmy.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37Where does she live?
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- THEY LAUGH - Too far away from you!
0:41:41 > 0:41:44I had some Scottish items which I bought in France.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Do you remember that?
0:41:46 > 0:41:48You went mad!
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Where did it go?
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- Who bought it? SCOTTISH ACCENT:- Back to Scotland!
0:41:53 > 0:41:55OK. I'm getting nervous now.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- The moment of truth?- Yuh.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59So, three, two, one...
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Non, non, non, non!
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Un, deux, trois!
0:42:03 > 0:42:04HE LAUGHS
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- Woh!- Sacre bleu!
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- FRENCH ACCENT:- Look at the size of your profits!
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Oh! C'est vrai!
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- FRENCH ACCENT:- I will buy you a very tiny baguette.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Oh!
0:42:17 > 0:42:21And it was Katherine's final deal that gave her an unassailable lead.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24So, the vintage necklace has gone off to Munich,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27all packaged up. And I've sold it. Hooray!
0:42:27 > 0:42:29I got £875,
0:42:29 > 0:42:33which is over £600 profit!
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I could not be happier!
0:42:37 > 0:42:39So, the hours of work Katherine put into researching
0:42:39 > 0:42:43the background of the necklace, and finding the right buyer for it,
0:42:43 > 0:42:46resulted in a staggering profit for our lady
0:42:46 > 0:42:49of £647.73.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55I must say, I'm rather pleased I made twice as much as Charlie did.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57And it was all down to that necklace.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59There was a bit of touch-and-go along the way,
0:42:59 > 0:43:01but it came out brilliantly.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Well, it wasn't all champagne for me, in France.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08I had a good time, bought nice things,
0:43:08 > 0:43:10but they weren't good enough, were they?
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Her necklace was phenomenal!
0:43:12 > 0:43:14She's a clever cookie, that girl.
0:43:17 > 0:43:18After today's storming success,
0:43:18 > 0:43:22Katherine the Great will aim to disarm The Charmer again tomorrow,
0:43:22 > 0:43:27as they battle through a car boot sale in Battersea.
