0:01:16 > 0:01:20That was the longest deal I have ever done in my entire life.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27- How are you? - I'm ready for action.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Have you got a little envelope?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- I've got a big envelope. - Open it.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I don't know what your says, mine says: "Katherine and Charlie.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Welcome to your final and biggest challenge yet.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- The showdown.- Da-da-dum!
0:02:41 > 0:02:44You must buy eight items during your regular Put Your Money challenges.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47You have to buy two at each event.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52You can spend up to £1,000 of your own money.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55You can each sell up to 4 items
0:02:55 > 0:02:57wherever you want.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59The remaining items will go into an auction.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Your auction is in Gloucestershire, approximately 12 weeks from now,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07in direct competition with your opponent.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08- That's me.- Beware.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Choose your items wisely, because the winner
0:03:11 > 0:03:13will be the one who makes the most profit.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Me!- Me.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- I'm off to spend my £1,000!- Bye!
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Both our antiques giants have £1,000 of their own money to spend
0:03:25 > 0:03:28including any restoration, repairs and buying fees.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33So, it's a fierce competition, but who will make the most profit?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35My time is seriously running out.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I simply can't stop!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Our battling bargaineers must buy two items
0:03:39 > 0:03:42at each of their usual hunting grounds.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44A UK antiques fair,
0:03:44 > 0:03:46an auction,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48a car boot sale
0:03:48 > 0:03:50and a foreign antiques market.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57First up, is the Battersea car boot sale in London.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Our duelling duo meet at high noon
0:04:01 > 0:04:04in the shadow of that famous powerstation
0:04:04 > 0:04:06to battle their way through a sea of stalls.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Of all the buying environments,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11this one should have the cheapest items
0:04:11 > 0:04:15and therefore, could also offer the biggest potential profit margin.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Which of our boot sale buccaneers will be first to grab a buy?
0:04:19 > 0:04:2219th-century pot lids.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Prattware, Staffordshire, printed figures
0:04:24 > 0:04:28and here we have another one.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31This looks like the village fair or something like that.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33And I will ask the price,
0:04:33 > 0:04:37in the hope that they're very cheap! How much are they?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- They're not very cheap at all. - They're not very cheap?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Everything's relative. How much are they?- £20 each.- £20 each?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Would you take £20 for the two of them? For me?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- No, no.- £30 for the two?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- 25?- No,28.- 28 for the two?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- And go away!- Go away?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03That's very cruel to say that to an old man! I'll have those for 28.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06So, The Charmer's away and that's an uppercut
0:05:06 > 0:05:07that Katherine The Great didn't see coming.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10But Charlie is merciless
0:05:10 > 0:05:12and swiftly lands another punch.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Punch cartoon books.
0:05:14 > 0:05:161875.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18They're great, great reading.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21What some people do, which is a bit of a crime of course,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24is that they cut out these and put them in frames.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26How much would you like for these?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- I don't know. Make me an offer on them.- Fiver?- For the two?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Yeah.- No - a fiver each and you can have them.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37- I think I could sell them for ten quid, possibly 15 quid.- Each?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- No, no if I could sell them for 10 quid each...- Eight quid, then.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Eight pounds? Its history isn't it?
0:05:43 > 0:05:44It's history.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48And I'm going to spend eight quid on my two Punch annuals.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51And the charmer's got two buys in his pocket
0:05:51 > 0:05:53before the Great One's even got her purse out.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57But, Katherine could be about to enter the fray.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02We're in the Interwar period, we're with Myott,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05a British pottery firm, here, but in my mind,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08it's the firm that's maybe
0:06:08 > 0:06:10the next Clarice Cliff
0:06:10 > 0:06:12and I think it's an underrated firm.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16And while Charlie's been sure about his purchases,
0:06:16 > 0:06:17our Red Queen is in a spin,
0:06:17 > 0:06:22with so much pottery to choose from, our heroine is in a haze of confusion.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Instead of choosing just two, she buys three!
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Hang on!
0:06:27 > 0:06:29That's against the rules!
0:06:29 > 0:06:34The rules say that I'm only allowed to buy two pieces
0:06:34 > 0:06:36at each event for my showdown.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39OK, so one, two, three.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I've gone wrong already. OK, sorry Charlie!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43What I'm going to do is
0:06:43 > 0:06:46keep two pieces for my showdown,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48this jug and this jug.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51And give that to my mother.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55And then I haven't broken the rules at all! Back on track.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59So, with the £30 cost of the jug for her mum set aside,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Katherine has shelled out £145 in total
0:07:02 > 0:07:05for the two remaining pieces of pottery.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07With two items apiece,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11let's see how much our booty bandits have spent so far.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15They each had a budget of £1,000 of their own money to spend.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Charlie 'The Charmer' Ross has started stealthily,
0:07:19 > 0:07:20spending only £36,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23leaving him a very healthy £964
0:07:23 > 0:07:25for his remaining six purchases.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Katherine 'The Great' Higgins splashed out a bit for a boot fair.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32£145 for her two items,
0:07:32 > 0:07:36leaving her with £855 to spend.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39They've both saved the lion's share of their lucre for later,
0:07:39 > 0:07:43which is good news, because they've got three rounds to get through.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47And so, to round two. The auction.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51And it's time for our mighty marauders to cross swords
0:07:51 > 0:07:54at Sworder's saleroom in the Essex town of Stansted Mountfichet.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58With a mammoth 845 lots there for the taking,
0:07:58 > 0:08:02it's who dares wins as they aim to bag two more items
0:08:02 > 0:08:04for their showdown spectacular.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08With his decades of experience, bashing the gavel,
0:08:08 > 0:08:12this is The Charmer's home territory.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14But how will he fare on the other side of the hammer?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18And can our thoroughly modern mistress of miscellanea give him a run for his money?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21As the auction bangs into action,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23The Charmer is first to make a move,
0:08:23 > 0:08:29bagging some Victoriana, by bidding on an oak stationery cabinet.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Thank you, sir. 507. - Thank you. That'll do.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33So, The Charmer takes home the stationery cabinet
0:08:33 > 0:08:38for £173.60, including commission.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I'm thrilled with this lot.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It's late Victorian,
0:08:43 > 0:08:45or even just Edwardian.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48It has got here, a registration number,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51so we can date it to the nearest year,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53but what I like about it
0:08:53 > 0:08:57is the quality - A and the condition - B.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59And look what it does.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02You've got the most wonderful writing slope here,
0:09:02 > 0:09:07you've got an extra little compartment under there
0:09:07 > 0:09:08and these swing out
0:09:08 > 0:09:12and provide you with more space.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17It's just as the day it was made.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- Charlie, clearly delighted by his old school stationery piece. - Nice thing.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23But what does the Great Lady make of it?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Charlie, what's this?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28You know, everyone's got them.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30When did you last write a letter?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34So, a damning verdict from our mistress of the modern.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36She's clearly up for a scrap
0:09:36 > 0:09:40and she's prepared to go to any lengths to secure a victory,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42including buying something really old.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45An 18th-century print, which she gets for £55.80,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47including commission.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52This is a remarkable picture, for so little money.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I must be able to make a profit on it.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58With her first buy bagged, the Great One
0:09:58 > 0:10:00is audaciously straying further into Charmer territory,
0:10:00 > 0:10:04with her next choice. A piece of furniture she eyed up earlier.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08It's described as a small Victorian sofa on turned legs.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13It doesn't say three turned legs but it actually has got turned legs
0:10:13 > 0:10:14but one caster missing. No estimate.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17That means effectively to go. That means it hasn't got a reserve.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20It could go for anything. It could go for £5, £10.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22That's the kind of attractive sign to me,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25that I could get it quite cheap.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31And as the hammer goes down, it's sofa so good for Katherine.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34She pays £124 including commission.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Couldn't be better. That is a good buy.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42So, Katherine the Great is on top of the world
0:10:42 > 0:10:43but as the lots fly by,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Charlie still hasn't found his second purchase.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49With time and options running out,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53he makes a desperate bid for an item from the land of the rising sun.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59At £100. Thank you, sir, £100. 507.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Rosco, what have you done?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Well, Rosco,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10what you've done is paid £124 including fees for a Japanese screen.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14What can you get these days for 100 quid?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Answer - a knackered Japanese screen.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Nurse, the screens!
0:11:22 > 0:11:25With that last-minute panic buy from the charmer, it's time to take
0:11:25 > 0:11:30a dip into our towering twosome's purses and see what they've spent so far.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35From the £1,000 they started off with,
0:11:35 > 0:11:42Charlie has now spent £333.60 leaving him with £666.40 in his showdown kitty.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Katherine, meanwhile, has spent almost £325
0:11:46 > 0:11:51leaving her with just over £675 for the last two rounds.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58For the penultimate round of this showdown,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00our courageous crusaders will be going into battle
0:12:00 > 0:12:04at the Reims Antiques Fair in France's Champagne country.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Armed with only a fistful of euros, they will be taking on
0:12:07 > 0:12:12the legion of Gallic stall-holders to capture two showdown items each,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15from the creme de la creme of collectibles on sale.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Now, both contenders have well over half their kitties available to spend
0:12:19 > 0:12:23so they can afford to, indeed they must, be bold.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29- Bonjour.- Bonjour, Charlie. - Madame Higgins.- C'est moi.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34- Another leg of the showdown. - All I can say to you is 'screen.'
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Did you say 'scream' or screen?' - I feel nervous for you.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38It's worrying me.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Do you not think I'm going to get a profit out of that screen?
0:12:41 > 0:12:46- I think the restoration is the issue. - It will be an issue.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Anyway, I'm going to buy some more things.- Good luck.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- I might find another chaise longue for you.- Divine!
0:12:51 > 0:12:54The woman of little taste.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Cutting words from the charmer.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Katherine the Great will be determined to prove she's no soft touch today.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03She's got some cuddly toys in her sights
0:13:03 > 0:13:09and the keen-eyed queen of collectables has spotted something special among the teddies.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Funnily enough, I've picked a non-bear.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16This is a jointed plush monkey by Steiff
0:13:16 > 0:13:21and the modelling of the face, the felt on the face is just outstanding.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25The plush is raised and lively.
0:13:25 > 0:13:31The colour is even on the front and the reverse. Sibyl, soixante-cinq.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36So, Katherine captures the Steiff monkey for 30 euros
0:13:36 > 0:13:42along with a teddy bear for 35 euros so that's 65 euros for the pair -
0:13:42 > 0:13:44that's just over £59.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Hello, my name's Charlie Ross.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52With her two showdown items already in the bag,
0:13:52 > 0:13:57the pressure's off for the Great One, but what of the rapier-witted charmer?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I've got loads of money left
0:13:59 > 0:14:02but there's no point just buying something for the sake of it.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Or is there?
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Come on, Charlie, there's no time for swanning about.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09It's continental silver.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14Pepper shaker. Could be a salt, but no, I think it's a pepper shaker.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19You take the bottom off, put the salt in there obviously
0:14:19 > 0:14:25and shake away. It could be a pepper pot. I think actually it's quite nicely mottled.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29And Charlie swoops with an offer of 30 euros.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Trente?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34This man is not moving. This man...
0:14:34 > 0:14:39- Monsieur! Quarante.- Quarante.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44So Charlie's charm can't sway the stall-holders to drop the price
0:14:44 > 0:14:48so it's a sale at 40 euros, which is £36.36.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53But there's still one more purchase to seek out amongst the stalls
0:14:53 > 0:14:56before the charmer can down tools for the day.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Can he find just the thing to sweeten him up?
0:15:01 > 0:15:08My word. As biscuit barrels go, this is pretty amazing.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Gilded decoration and enamel flowers.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16That's a pure, pure piece of art nouveau.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21- What we need to know is who owns it. - Il est parti au toilette.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24He can't give me a price 'cause he's gone to the loo!
0:15:24 > 0:15:26That's fair enough, I suppose.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28With the stallholder otherwise occupied,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31it's down to his mate to do the deal.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Charlie strikes like a hungry panther.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39- 15.- No, no, no. - 15, pour moi!
0:15:39 > 0:15:46- 15, OK, OK.- Excellent. Quinze euros!
0:15:46 > 0:15:51So a sweet deal for Charlie there at £13.64.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55This could go in to auction. This could be sold privately.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Either way, there's a thumping good profit in it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Round three is now over and our antiques legionnaires
0:16:02 > 0:16:05return from the front line of France and back to Blighty
0:16:05 > 0:16:08for the all-important final round.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Both our duellists started out with £1,000 of their own money.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Charlie has spent a total of £383.60
0:16:16 > 0:16:21meaning he still has £616.40 in his kitty.
0:16:21 > 0:16:29While Katherine has spent £383.89 leaving her £616.11 for round four.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34And so begins the final round of buying.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Our two valiant victory seekers have marched on to
0:16:41 > 0:16:43the Ardingly antiques market in West Sussex where
0:16:43 > 0:16:48their challenge is to each find two profit packers amidst
0:16:48 > 0:16:50the 1,500 stalls stuffed with swag.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53The plucky charmer is first out of the traps, fighting his way
0:16:53 > 0:16:57through the battlefield for a distinctive matchbox holder.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Give us the tools and we will finish the job. What a wonderful thing.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05If you want a tenner for that, I'll give you a tenner.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- 20 quid, we've got another deal. - I'll give you a tenner.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- Give us your money!- There you are, a tenner, sir.- Thank you, sir.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16May I say, it was almost a pleasure to do business with you.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Thanks very much. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21So with Charlie declaring all-out war with that patriotic buy,
0:17:21 > 0:17:25what can Katherine the Great do to get herself back in the game?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28a silver buttonhook has grabbed her attention.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31You know me - £10. Too much.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- What can you do on that? - £7.- £7.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- £7, deal done. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40It's a sweet little buttonhook.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46Just the cusp of the late Victorian - early Edwardian era and very nice.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49So with that shrewd silver buy for Katherine,
0:17:49 > 0:17:53our titanic twosome are neck-and-neck,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56but Charlie's launched into action once more,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58charm firing on all cylinders.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04The lady wanted £90 but we settled at £50 plus a kiss.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Mwah, mwah! Two kisses! And a hug.
0:18:07 > 0:18:13It's quite amazing where kissing can get you.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Got an interesting collection of spoons, this one particularly,
0:18:16 > 0:18:23which is an image of a marksman shooting at long range targets here.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25It's silver.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27They're all hallmarked silver
0:18:27 > 0:18:33so I suspect the silver content there, arguably £10 each anyway.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I don't think there's any downside here.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39So that's Charlie's final purchase in the bag.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Katherine has still got one buy to make
0:18:42 > 0:18:46and she's still got loads of cash left.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51She might just need it as she's set her heart on a Victorian riding habit.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- What are you thinking about in terms of price?- We started the day at 750.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I've come down to 650 for you.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03I sort of was thinking in the sort of three zone.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05It's got to be near 650.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I could go around about 500.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- I could get it down to 620.- 525?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I'm sorry but it's got to be 600.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I'm going to have to say I wish you very good luck with it.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21- That's OK. 580 any good? - Oh, 530.- I can do 560.
0:19:21 > 0:19:27- 540, you've got a deal.- I won't argue a tenner so thank you.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Good old boy.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32That was the longest deal I have ever done in my entire life
0:19:32 > 0:19:33and it's the most I've spent.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37What we've got is a late 19th century riding habit.
0:19:37 > 0:19:43The thing the Victorian lady with means behind her would have worn.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45It's made out of the most exquisite cotton velvet.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Everything about it is original - untouched, unrepaired.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53It is absolutely glorious.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57With a lot riding on that purchase for Katherine,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59round four comes to an end.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04Our intrepid antiques adventurers have now purchased all their showdown items.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Time to assess their spending.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Our duelling duo started this epic showdown
0:20:10 > 0:20:14with £1,000 of their own cash to buy eight items.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17At close of play, Charlie's not even spent half his kitty
0:20:17 > 0:20:22with a total outlay of £443.60.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24While Katherine has thrown caution to the winds.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29She spent a massive £930.89.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Before our battling buccaneers can go their separate ways,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36there's just time for them to assess each other's weapons of war
0:20:36 > 0:20:41and Katherine's most expensive buy is the main talking point.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48£540! For a bit of cloth? Educate me, darling, educate me.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52It is the most fantastic Victorian riding habit that you will ever see.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56It's just really good quality piece. What's this?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58This - you know what it is.
0:20:58 > 0:21:04My hero who died in 1965, and I think it's great.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Great, great. In the immortal words of the great man,
0:21:08 > 0:21:12I shall fight you in the saleroom
0:21:12 > 0:21:17and I shall never, ever surrender.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Is he for real?
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Our tireless troopers return to base
0:21:24 > 0:21:27where they must refocus all their energies
0:21:27 > 0:21:29into selling their items
0:21:29 > 0:21:32in order to achieve the highest possible profits.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35The dealer with the most money will take the title
0:21:35 > 0:21:38but this is the showdown and it's not quite that simple.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Both our dealers have eight items to sell and at least four of them
0:21:42 > 0:21:45must be sold at auction without any reserve price.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49It's a white-knuckle ride where our competitors might win big
0:21:49 > 0:21:51or they might make cruel losses.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Both our experts must start by carefully selecting which items
0:21:55 > 0:21:58they think will gain the most under the gavel.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59I think the biscuit barrel will sell at auction.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Guilt spelter mounts, fabulous enamelling
0:22:05 > 0:22:08and I also bought the little salt in the form of a swan.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Thrilled about that. It's silver, Continental silver,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14but I think, again, an easy thing to sell.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19The big Japanese screen which I'm going to put into auction.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I might just tart it up a bit myself.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I'm going to risk the pot lids at auction. Are they saleable any more?
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Possibly not as saleable as they used to be.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32And which items will the Great One be putting under the hammer?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36I've decided my little silver buttonhook is going to be
0:22:36 > 0:22:39perfect auction material.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44Also, that little Steiff monkey. He will sit very nicely in the sale.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49My ceramics will tempt auction buyers so that's the right place for them.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55It's all going to come down to that last day at the auction.
0:22:55 > 0:23:02Miss Higgins, I'll meet you there and I'm throwing down the gauntlet now.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Oh, watch out, Katherine. The charmer means business.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Before the action at the auction kicks off, our memorabilia maestros
0:23:09 > 0:23:13have items that they need to find private buyers for.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Charlie needs to shift four solid silver spoons,
0:23:16 > 0:23:21a Winston Churchill matchbox holder, a Victorian stationery box
0:23:21 > 0:23:25and two 19th century Punch cartoon books.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Katherine will have to find a home for the Bolton Castle print,
0:23:29 > 0:23:33the Victorian chaise longue, a Victorian ladies riding habit
0:23:33 > 0:23:35and a vintage teddy bear.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38But both our dealers know that until they've shaken on it
0:23:38 > 0:23:41and the money's changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Our vintage virtuosos hit the phones
0:23:45 > 0:23:48and it's Charlie who's first out of the traps.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50He's been using his VIP contacts book
0:23:50 > 0:23:53to target the ideal buyer for his boot sale bargain books.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Well, here I am on the outskirts of London,
0:23:57 > 0:24:01clutching two priceless tomes of Punch cartoons.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I hope I'm going to be selling those to Peter Snow,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07a well-known television personality.
0:24:07 > 0:24:13Will I make a profit? Will I make a loss? Well, it's for you to guess.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Charles Ross, BBC News, somewhere near London.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Peter, how lovely to see you! - Charlie, nice to see you too.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- Look what I've got for you. - I can see they look like Punches.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- They are.- Punch volumes. - As I think I said you in my email,
0:24:27 > 0:24:31I thought these might interest you, the satire of the whole thing.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- Oh my goodness. - One of these volumes is 1869.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40- The other one I think is 1875. - Right.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I just wondered if I could sell them to you.
0:24:43 > 0:24:49- Well, I mean, what do you want? - I thought £30 for the two.
0:24:49 > 0:24:5230 quid for a couple of scruffy old leather volumes?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- What about a fiver for the two? - What about 25?
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Oh, go on, I'll give you £8. - 20?- You won't take 10?
0:24:59 > 0:25:04No. £15. It's a deal!
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Fantastic.
0:25:05 > 0:25:11Charlie starts with a small but punchy profit of £7 on the satirical scripts.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Surely something to smile about.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Katherine the great sets off on her selling campaign
0:25:18 > 0:25:20by journeying to Bolton Castle,
0:25:20 > 0:25:25the location that features on the 18th century print she bought at auction.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29She's tracked down Tom, who is the son of the eighth Lord Bolton.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Does it look familiar? - Gosh, that's beautiful.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34It's certainly Bolton Castle.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38I think there's a bit of artistic licence.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41It's got the rivers painted very close up to the castle,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43which obviously it's about a mile away.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45No, it couldn't be anywhere else, I don't think.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49I'm delighted you've managed to bring it home.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51What do you think it's worth, you're the expert.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56I would love to hover around about the £300 mark.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- I think that would be fair. - I'd certainly like it to be here.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03I was going to say 250 but perhaps we could meet somewhere in the middle.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09- How about 280, that sort of figure? - 280 sounds great to me.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Great, lovely. - It's a really beautiful painting.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15What a stunning result for our red-haired raider.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18It's a profit of £224.20 on the print,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21which must surely worry Charlie.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Talking of whom, where is our dapper chappie?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Dr Livingstone, I presume.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35You may think I'm in the Amazon but I'm looking for an explorer
0:26:35 > 0:26:37who spends most of his life in the Amazon.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40He wants to buy my wonderful box, for some reason,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43but I'm not in the Amazon, am I?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I'm in Chiswick.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51And he's headed for the house of professional explorer, Mark.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- It's quite lucky to find you in, isn't it?- It is, it is.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Aren't you supposed to be in the Amazon basin of something?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Been there, done that.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00You must have some heroes.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Richard Francis Burton and John Hanning Speke.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06They are most famous for searching for the source of the Nile.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09That was back in the 1800s.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13You'd see this as a connection historically?
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Definitely. They would set up camp or their porters would
0:27:17 > 0:27:21and they would record their observations, whatever findings, on something exactly like this.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23For me, the link is huge.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- You're happy to buy it? - I am, depending on price. - Depending on price.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Of course.- I'd like £300 for it.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31I can give you £100 for this box, Mr Ross.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35I have to tell you that that's less than I paid for it.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37275?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- 250 quid, how about that? - 200 really would be my limit.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- Could I squeeze you to 220? - I don't think you could.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Maybe at 210. It just gives me slightly...
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- I could do 210.- Could you do 210? - I can do 210.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55It's a slim profit but I'm thrilled to know where it's going.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57- Thank you, sir. - Thanks, Mark.- Perfect.
0:27:58 > 0:28:04A tough haggle gives the charmer an adventurous profit of £36.40 for the stationery box.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09And now, it's do or die time for Katherine the Great.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14She's got to sell her most costly buy - the Victorian riding ensemble
0:28:14 > 0:28:19that she bought for a whacking £540 at the Ardingly Antiques Fair.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- I brought you this. Lovely to meet you.- And you.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25She's hoping that Kate at a costume hire company in Hazelmere
0:28:25 > 0:28:27will share her enthusiasm.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30This is - I think it's amazing -
0:28:30 > 0:28:35it's like being in an Aladdin's cave or Mr Benn's shop.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39We've often been called Mr Benn's shop. It's great fun.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43I've brought you the very best of Victorian velvet.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46It is a sumptuous treat actually.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50It's absolutely gorgeous. The shape of it is lovely.
0:28:50 > 0:28:56I would love you to have it. The question is whether or not...
0:28:56 > 0:28:57- The price.- Yes.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01I would like to think that around about 600 was right
0:29:01 > 0:29:05but that's your call on how you play that one.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09That would probably be a bit too much for me.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- I would say 550.- OK.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17If we could go to 560, I'd be a very happy lady.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19It's beautiful.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21- Oh, go on then, it is lovely. It is gorgeous.- Great.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- I think shake on it.- Definitely.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27So it was a big gamble that didn't quite pay off for Katherine,
0:29:27 > 0:29:30giving her just £20 in profit.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34That would surely cheer Charlie on for his next item.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41The Winston Churchill matchbox holder he got for just £10 at the boot fair.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45He's headed to London as he's hoping that his friend Roger
0:29:45 > 0:29:47will be the man to take it off his hands.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Where better to meet than at the English Speaking Union
0:29:50 > 0:29:54where Churchill once held the role of chairman.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57You are, after all, the man in my eyes that looks
0:29:57 > 0:30:01more like Churchill than anybody else I've ever met.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- Look at that.- Isn't that fun? - That's rather sweet, isn't it?
0:30:05 > 0:30:10It's a little matchbox case from I think 1941.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13It's got some wonderful quotes, not only from Churchill,
0:30:13 > 0:30:16but also from Roosevelt.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Yes. "Put your confidence in us." What's it worth?
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Priceless of course, isn't it, if that is his burn.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25It must be worth thousands.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27You've bought it for about 10p in a car boot sale.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30I paid more than 10p for it. 40 quid.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- Don't think I heard you quite right. - Didn't you?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35HE LAUGHS
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- What do you reckon?- 30? - What about 35 quid? Meet me in the middle.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42How about the number of times I played for England at hockey?
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- How many was that?- 31.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Oh, what a pity you didn't play 100 times.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Listen, 153 goals but I'm not paying that for it.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- I'll tell you what, I'll settle at 33.- Go on.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55Brilliant.
0:30:55 > 0:31:00So it's a best of British profit of £23 for the Churchill matchbox holder.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Charlie's least favourite item of his opponent's selection is next on her selling list.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Katherine is hoping that the Victorian chaise longue
0:31:07 > 0:31:11she bought at auction will be just the thing to inspire
0:31:11 > 0:31:15furniture restorer and upholsterer Sarah Louise.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- Hello.- Hi.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Wow.- What do you think?- It's lovely.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22I'd love to buy it at the right price.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27- If we came up with something like 260, 270 I'd be...- 260.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29260, you have got a deal.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Minus the £12 she had to spend on a new caster for the chaise,
0:31:32 > 0:31:37it's a flamboyant profit of £124 for Katherine the Great.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43Back in central London, Charlie has a couple more little somethings
0:31:43 > 0:31:46to show his friend Roger. He's hoping to tempt him
0:31:46 > 0:31:50with two of the silver spoons he bought at the Ardingly Antiques Fair.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53They're both the Coronation 1937 of George VI.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- They're in jolly good condition. - They're nice.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Considering they're silver, amazingly cheap.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02You could have those 25 quid each, 50 quid for the two of them.
0:32:02 > 0:32:0440?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Yeah, I think 20 each, 40 quid.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10So it's a sweet deal of £40 for Charlie.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13He goes on to sell the other two spoons again for £40,
0:32:13 > 0:32:17giving him a total profit of £30 on all four spoons.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23# Look for the bare necessities
0:32:23 > 0:32:25# The simple bare necessities. #
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Katherine the Great has one sale left to make
0:32:28 > 0:32:30and it's time for her to part
0:32:30 > 0:32:33with the teddy she bought in France for around £32.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Look who I brought you.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38She's found a potential home for him with Andrew.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42- I sent you a picture.- You did. - Here he is in real life.- Absolutely.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46This is inspired by the Steiff Zotty bears, which came out in 1951.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Sir Andrew, can I tempt you to buy him?
0:32:49 > 0:32:52I'd rather we use the terminology adopt, actually,
0:32:52 > 0:32:54but I would be prepared to adopt him.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57I think there's definitely a bond between you.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- You can tell, can you? - I can tell! I can tell.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04I think he'd love to be with you for around about the £100 mark.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Well, the bear has spoken, I guess.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- It's a deal.- Oh, thank you.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Shall we shake hands? - We should shake hands.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18So it's a happy profit of £68.18 for Katherine.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21But a sad farewell to Teddy.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Goodbye, little fellow.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Bye-bye, Teddy. Ohh!
0:33:32 > 0:33:36And as we hit the halfway point in a savage selling struggle,
0:33:36 > 0:33:39let's check on our prime pros' profits.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43The charmer has sold four items and bagged himself a profit so far
0:33:43 > 0:33:45of £96.40.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Katherine the Great has also sold four items
0:33:48 > 0:33:54but she's made a whopping profit of £436.38.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59But the wheeler-dealing must all end there.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Our determined duellists must sell everything that remains at auction,
0:34:03 > 0:34:08where they're in the hands of the auctioneer and totally powerless in negotiating prices.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13- This final battle of the gavel will take place in Cirencester.- Welcome.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14Good morning, good morning.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- They have sold things for literally millions here. - My things for millions?
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- No, your things will struggle. - Darling, it's all about colour.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22My things are all colourful!
0:34:22 > 0:34:25You're all about colour and frankly,
0:34:25 > 0:34:28if your goods looked half as good as you do, you might do quite well.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Come on, I'll take you in.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Before the bidding begins,
0:34:31 > 0:34:35our competitors snatch a quick look at each other's wares.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Charlie and the screen, they were a match made in heaven
0:34:38 > 0:34:43but they're not a match for anyone in the 21st century, I'm afraid.
0:34:43 > 0:34:48Over here, you've got bits of tape attaching the broken part.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52The condition is awful!
0:34:52 > 0:34:54No, Charlie.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Some people buy antiques.
0:34:56 > 0:35:02Some people buy ghastly painted nursery rhyme items
0:35:02 > 0:35:05like a Wade Heath jug from the 1930s.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08She paid £125 for it.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Must be barking, I would have thought.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Actually, Charlie, I like it.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16I think you could well quadruple your money on these.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Katherine, this is a really nice buttonhook.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24It's going to have to make £20 or so if you take commission into consideration,
0:35:24 > 0:35:28although it only cost seven, so it's a bit tight.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Now it's the moment of truth as the bidding starts
0:35:32 > 0:35:38and first up is the jug that Katherine bought for £20 at the book fair.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42- I'm rooting for you, baby! - £30, nice little deco piece, £30.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Don't be silly. 20 then. At £20, a bid here at 20.
0:35:46 > 0:35:4820 is plenty.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52- Selling here then on a maiden bid of 20.- That's more than enough.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57At £20, you all done? It's selling then at 20.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58£20.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Oh dear. What a disappointing start for the Great One.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05After fees, it's a loss of £9.84.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08She's got to be hoping that her expensive job can do a lot better
0:36:08 > 0:36:12despite Charlie's criticism of its appeal.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Starting at 100 and it would be cheap. 100?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- 80.- Oh dear.- £50.
0:36:18 > 0:36:23- If only I could bid in this. - £50, £30 then.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- Oh, Miss Higgins. - This is nice.- 40, 5, 50.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29There he goes, now he's motoring.
0:36:29 > 0:36:35- At £55, 60.- It's moving. - Two people without any taste.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38At 75 here, 80 now. At 75, 80 going to say now then.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42No, you're only losing 50 less commission, 60, 70.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46- You've lost more than half your money.- You all done at 75?
0:36:48 > 0:36:51It's crisis time for our rampaging redhead.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56That crashing loss of £70.40 after fees on the second jug
0:36:56 > 0:36:58really puts her on the back foot.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02Time for the charmer to enter the fray with his pot lids.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05He bought them for £28.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08This is my least favourite lot.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11When I bought these, I thought, Rosco, not happy.
0:37:11 > 0:37:16After fees, it's a small profit of £2.36 for the charmer,
0:37:16 > 0:37:21which is still a lot better than Katherine has managed so far.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Now, can Charlie continue on his roll with the sale
0:37:24 > 0:37:27of his French market bargain, the biscuit barrel.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Start me, 50. £50. At £50, thank you.
0:37:30 > 0:37:335 anyone else? At £50 on my left here.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37At £50 and 5, 60, 5, 70, 5, 80.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40It cost £13.64.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44At £80, still looks cheap at £80. 5 anyone else?
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- At £80 on my left, at £80.- Oh!
0:37:48 > 0:37:54- At 80.- £80, £80. - Give me a kiss.- Well done.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- Actually, you are covered in red now.- I don't mind.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Our first major profit of the auction goes to the charmer,
0:38:00 > 0:38:06who's £45 better off after fees with that very sweet sale.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11Next up comes Katherine's Steiff monkey that she bought in France.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15Here we go, good colour, lovely looking condition there.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16Who will start me?
0:38:16 > 0:38:22- Start me at 100.- 100, what's he on? - £50.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27- Don't be silly, 50p's more the mark. - At £35, you all sure now, then?
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- At £35. - Oh, no.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32There's very little interest in the monkey
0:38:32 > 0:38:36and it ends up losing Katherine £4.89 after fees.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39What a blow for the Great One.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43Can she get herself out of trouble with the help of her silver buttonhook.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45It's up next under the hammer.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- I really like your buttonhook. - I'm not being sarcastic.
0:38:49 > 0:38:50I'm already at a loss with it though
0:38:50 > 0:38:53because of the cost of putting it into the sale.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55It's going to have to make £20, isn't it?
0:38:55 > 0:39:00- All done then on a maiden bid of 10? - Oh, no!- Feels good to me.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Because you've done your money again. Oh, Higgins.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Oh, dear! The Great One learns a harsh lesson
0:39:08 > 0:39:14and she makes a loss of £4.92 on the small piece of silver.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19Another chance for the charmer to show the lady how it's done with his silverware.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22The swan table salt he bought in Reims.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26£30 to get on. At £30, a bid there at 30.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30- At £30, 5, 40, 5, 50.- Rosco!
0:39:30 > 0:39:32You are on gas, Rosco!
0:39:32 > 0:39:35At £90, you all sure?
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- 90 it is.- 90 quid!
0:39:40 > 0:39:46And the charmer swans off with a profit of £30.36 after auction fees.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50Higgins, you come out with me, girl, I'll show you how to make a profit.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Yes.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57With Katherine put in her place, it's time for Charlie's final lot.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01The Japanese screen that his rival has been so scathing about.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02Stop it!
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Miss Higgins, stop it! I bet you knocked that bit off.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10The Shibayama screen there, what are you going to bid me for that?
0:40:10 > 0:40:14Who'll start me? Start me at 100. Ooh, it's gone quiet.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18This is the one they're all here for. The one they're all here for.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22- I can start you on the book at 60. - £60?
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Don't give it away, sir!
0:40:24 > 0:40:2970, 5, 80, 5, 90, 5, 100.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- Is that all?- Who could be bidding?
0:40:33 > 0:40:36At £110. 110, thank you.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41- Yes! Thank you, sir.- It sold.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Yes, it sold but unfortunately for the charmer,
0:40:45 > 0:40:47he loses £41.12 on the screen.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- It could have been worse. - Could it?- A bit.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58Those wise words marked the ceasefire in the hammer hostilities.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Our Great lady had a rather uncomfortable time at the auction
0:41:01 > 0:41:03while apart from his last lot,
0:41:03 > 0:41:06the charmer came out relatively unscathed.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10But before we see what effect that's had on the overall result,
0:41:10 > 0:41:12let's recap on their spending.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17Both our experts started the contest with £1,000 of their own money
0:41:17 > 0:41:20to spend on eight items each.
0:41:20 > 0:41:27Charlie the charmer spent £443.60. Katherine spent a great deal more.
0:41:28 > 0:41:33£942.89 including restoration costs.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36All of the money that Katherine and Charlie have made from
0:41:36 > 0:41:38today's challenge will be given to charities of their choice.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Without further ado, it's time to find out
0:41:43 > 0:41:47who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Champion.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49- What an adventure we've had! - What a journey!
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- I'm exhausted, are you? - No, not at all.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- But then you're young.- I am indeed.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- I'm not too confident about this. - I can't bear this.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02One, two, three - go!
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Oh, that's a thrash!
0:42:06 > 0:42:10And Katherine the Great lives up to her nickname
0:42:10 > 0:42:13with over twice as much profit as the charmer from the showdown.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17Both our experts have been building up their profit pots all week
0:42:17 > 0:42:19over a series of challenges.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22It's now time to reveal whether Charlie or Katherine
0:42:22 > 0:42:25will be this week's overall champion.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29I'm afraid that this whole journey, for me,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32is not looking too good, is it?
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Well, that's wonderful.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41You've made a lot of money and I've made a fair bit for my charity.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Ultimate victory goes to our flame-haired fighter, Katherine.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Both our experts have made fantastic profits
0:42:47 > 0:42:50and all the money will be going to their chosen charities.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53My chosen charity is Shooting Star Chase who provide hospice care
0:42:53 > 0:42:58for families who have children and teenagers with life-limiting conditions.
0:42:58 > 0:43:03My chosen charity is The Art Room, an Oxford-based charity
0:43:03 > 0:43:08for 5-16 year olds with emotional and behavioural difficulties.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12Well, Charlie and Katherine have both shown that they can
0:43:12 > 0:43:16put their money where their mouths are and they'd proved they can make
0:43:16 > 0:43:19a solid profits from antiques when their own money is on the line.
