0:00:02 > 0:00:04- YEAH!- This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,

0:00:04 > 0:00:07the show that pitches TV's best-loved antiques experts

0:00:07 > 0:00:10against each other in an all-out battle for profit.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13I'm a double your money girl.

0:00:13 > 0:00:16And gives you the insider's view of the trade.

0:00:16 > 0:00:18You've got to be in it to win it.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22Each week, one pair of duelling dealers will face a different

0:00:22 > 0:00:23daily challenge...

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Lovely. We've got some work to do. Let's go.

0:00:26 > 0:00:31..putting their own money and their hard-earned reputations on the line,

0:00:31 > 0:00:35as they see who can make the most money from buying and selling.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Get in there!

0:00:39 > 0:00:43Today's masters on a mission are the bargain bulldog, Philip Serrell,

0:00:43 > 0:00:47and our witty wheeler-dealer, Paul Hayes.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Coming up, Paul boldly goes where no dealer has gone before...

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Thank you very much, I've just bought a space ship.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58..Phil learns the perils of a high profile...

0:00:58 > 0:01:02You're a famous bloke, you don't like paying a lot of money, do you?

0:01:02 > 0:01:03Hark at this! Hark at this!

0:01:03 > 0:01:07..and someone gets a bit too big for their dancing boots.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11They're doing it wrong, none follow me. You're all out of step!

0:01:11 > 0:01:15It's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Prepare for a clash between two of the antiques trade's

0:01:32 > 0:01:35biggest characters, and they couldn't be more different.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40On one side, a bruising behemoth who takes no prisoners.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43It's the wily warrior of Worcestershire,

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Philip "The Fox" Serrell.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47- At least it's old.- So am I, but I ain't worth anything!

0:01:47 > 0:01:49LAUGHS

0:01:49 > 0:01:52On the other, a man who can twist anyone round his finger

0:01:52 > 0:01:57with his charm and charisma but once he's haggling, he's in for the kill.

0:01:57 > 0:02:02It's the lively lad from Lancashire, Paul "Mr Morecambe" Hayes.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06Now, just think Blackpool prom, think George Formby.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09And this is a bout that needs serious clout.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13Our demon dealers are at the Lincolnshire Antiques and Homes Show,

0:02:13 > 0:02:18an indoor and outdoor market with around 3,000 stalls

0:02:18 > 0:02:22piled high with amazing antiques to whet their appetites.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Something I need to give you, I think, Phil.

0:02:24 > 0:02:30Both our bartering beagles have £750 of their own money to spend.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33All the profit goes to their chosen charities.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36So, Philip Serrell and Paul Hayes, it's time to

0:02:36 > 0:02:40put your money where your mouth is.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43- How are you, mate, all right? - Have you got your thermals on?

0:02:43 > 0:02:46This is massive, isn't it? Absolutely massive.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48You can buy antiques by the acre here, can't you?

0:02:48 > 0:02:51It's endless. You'll never get round the whole place.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55- It takes too long.- Well, we've got £750 today. What are you going to spend your money on, mate?

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Well, to be honest, variety is the spice of life.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01I think when you come here, you leave your options open. There's so much to choose from.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Something hopefully will jump out at me.- It's a focused job.

0:03:04 > 0:03:09All right, well, I've got the upper hand as I used to stand on these stalls. Good luck anyway.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14So, Paul is on familiar turf here and Phil is

0:03:14 > 0:03:17daunted by the sheer size of the market, and so he should be.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20The Lincolnshire Showground is massive

0:03:20 > 0:03:23and as our cunning contenders begin their search,

0:03:23 > 0:03:28they also have an added trial - our old friend, the British weather.

0:03:28 > 0:03:29It's wet and it's windy

0:03:29 > 0:03:33but Mr Morecambe plans to work this to his advantage.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38I know exactly what it's like being out here. I've stood outside before.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39I've tried to sell items.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42You're glad for any sale and willing to do a deal.

0:03:42 > 0:03:43It's a buyer's day today.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47And that is why our lad's got to where he's got, ladies and gents.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Building his success through sheer determination.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53But let's not doubt his challenger.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56The Fox is a veteran of the game, with

0:03:56 > 0:04:00an A-Z knowledge of antiques and he has a clear plan of attack.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03I know how much I've got to spend but I want to try and buy items

0:04:03 > 0:04:06that you can't automatically put a value on.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08I want to try and go a bit left-field.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14Not for the mighty Fox, rules regulations and predictability.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16This is a man who stands out from the crowd.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20It's not long before our sporting hero swoops on a couple of big hitters.

0:04:20 > 0:04:25A cricket bat and a hockey stick that are actually rather small.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27So how much is the bat?

0:04:27 > 0:04:29- That's 30.- 30?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31And how much is that?

0:04:32 > 0:04:35- £25.- So, 55 for two?

0:04:35 > 0:04:36Yeah.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Couldn't do 30 on the two?

0:04:40 > 0:04:4135.

0:04:41 > 0:04:4330, you got a deal, I'll have them.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47- 35.- 35? You won't budge?- No.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Yeah, I'll have both those. Thank you very much, indeed.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54He scoops up the deal and knocks it for six.

0:04:54 > 0:04:59- The Fox is on the scoreboard. - 20, 30. So...

0:04:59 > 0:05:00this is a little...

0:05:00 > 0:05:04I would imagine this is probably made for a shop display window

0:05:04 > 0:05:07and it's by Lillywhites of London, who used to make masses

0:05:07 > 0:05:10of cricket bats, tennis rackets, all sorts of sporting kit.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13Jolly hockey sticks.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17And at almost exactly the same moment as Phil makes his first purchase,

0:05:17 > 0:05:21our Lancashire lad latches onto a poster from closer to home.

0:05:22 > 0:05:27This is retro, it's funky. 1950s, 1960s travel poster. I love it.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30It depends on how much it is and how old it is, really.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33The poster is marked up at £85,

0:05:33 > 0:05:36so can Mr Morecambe get a concession on his bus-ride home?

0:05:37 > 0:05:40You can't say 60 quid and we'll shake on that?

0:05:40 > 0:05:4265. That's it. 65.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45- That's your lowest?- Yeah. - Right, OK, well, I'm happy with that.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47- I'll have it at 65.- OK. - Thank you very much, sir, thank you.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51£65. Plenty of room on top. Which one do you want to be?

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- The driver or the conductor? - Um, the clippie.- The clippie.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56LAUGHS

0:05:56 > 0:06:00Just the ticket. Paul revs up and chuggs away.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Here we are. Now, then, anybody want to come to Blackpool

0:06:05 > 0:06:08on an open-air bus tour for one shilling and sixpence?

0:06:08 > 0:06:11That was the day, wasn't it? Now of course, the train posters

0:06:11 > 0:06:16and the shipping posters can bring literally thousands of pounds.

0:06:16 > 0:06:21So, for £65, I've got an original 1950s/1960s travel poster of Blackpool.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Isn't that fantastic? Eh, it's nice out, isn't it?

0:06:26 > 0:06:28It might be nice in Blackpool but here in Lincolnshire,

0:06:28 > 0:06:31the wind is picking up and it's time to take cover.

0:06:40 > 0:06:45Our antiques big-game hunter is stalking his prey and locks and loads

0:06:45 > 0:06:47on his next target, an Edwardian cartridge case.

0:06:50 > 0:06:51And how much is that?

0:06:51 > 0:06:57Er, 65. It's a good fitted box. It's probably worth in the hundreds.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58- As it is.- Oh, blimey.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02When a gentleman went shooting in Edwardian times,

0:07:02 > 0:07:06there would be leather straps that ran down there and up there

0:07:06 > 0:07:08and you just fitted your cartridges in there.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12If this was all together and it got a good maker's label on it

0:07:12 > 0:07:16and it was lined and it had got the leather straps in, you could

0:07:16 > 0:07:18ask £200 or £300 and you could get it, wouldn't you?

0:07:18 > 0:07:22But you're now asking £65 for something that's neither fish nor fowl.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24LAUGHS

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Sign of the times.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Put it by, and I'm going to think about it.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32But I think it's a lovely thing.

0:07:32 > 0:07:33The Fox stalks away.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Let's hope he hasn't shot himself in the foot there.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39This is the quandary that you're in.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43You're walking round thinking, shall I go back and buy that?

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Or shall I carry on looking, you know, and then you run the risk

0:07:46 > 0:07:48that he's sold it. So, you know,

0:07:48 > 0:07:51it's sort of, it puts you in a conundrum, doesn't it?

0:07:51 > 0:07:52Um, yes, that's the point, Phil.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Pistol Paul's been eyeing up the other side of the showroom

0:07:57 > 0:08:01and couldn't help but notice a vase of vast proportions.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06This is a good 19th century oriental vase, crackle glaze,

0:08:06 > 0:08:09it's had something happened on the top here.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11It must have gone into a flute.

0:08:11 > 0:08:12How much is your big vase here?

0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Um...250.- 250? I like it.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Um... Food for thought. Food for thought.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23What's wrong with our bargain busters?

0:08:23 > 0:08:26Usually, they're handing over cash left, right and centre.

0:08:26 > 0:08:31But today, our bargain bugs antennae are just not twitching.

0:08:31 > 0:08:32Where's the damage?

0:08:35 > 0:08:39That's a pity, isn't it? Don't buy damaged. Don't buy damaged.

0:08:39 > 0:08:44Our boys search high and low but nothing ticks their profit boxes.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47I don't understand it, mate. If I don't understand it, I tend to leave it.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51That is utterly, utterly useless. Isn't it?

0:08:52 > 0:08:53Do you know, out of the case,

0:08:53 > 0:08:55I don't like it as much as I liked it in the case.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01I'm conscious that time's going by me. You know?

0:09:01 > 0:09:04And I like that cartridge box. I'm going to go back and see it.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07I'm going to go back and buy it, basically.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11He shoots back and gets another tenner knocked off the case.

0:09:11 > 0:09:16The Fox pays £55 and loads up his second purchase.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Across the showground, Paul has still only bought one item.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23Maybe leaving his options open wasn't the best strategy.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Come on, Mr Morecambe. - Do you know, I love those.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30What a banister that must have been. It's got this wonderful acorn design, oak leaves.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- How much are these, mate?- 350 the pair.- 350 the pair? They're amazing.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37Mmm. A price like that will always be a stumbling point.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41In comparison, Foxy is like an athlete in his prime,

0:09:41 > 0:09:43easily clearing the hurdles

0:09:43 > 0:09:47and he's leapt over to an item that has him doing somersaults.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52Can you remember the pain that you went through as a child at school,

0:09:52 > 0:09:54running up and trying to get over one of these?

0:09:54 > 0:09:56You headbutted it and you tripped over it and you fell over it.

0:09:56 > 0:10:02Give it a go now, Foxy, go on... Oh, the stallholder's turned up.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05I know you're a famous bloke, you don't like paying a lot of money, do you?

0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Hark at this! Hark at this!- 230.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11- 230's the best? - Um...

0:10:13 > 0:10:14Give us 190.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17And that's the best?

0:10:17 > 0:10:18I'd say so, yes.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22I'm going to think about it because I just don't know what that's worth.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Well, it would cost thousands, wouldn't it? Although that's irrelevant.- Yes, yes.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28It's irrelevant what it costs brand new.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30I'm worth thousands but nobody will give it.

0:10:30 > 0:10:31LAUGHS

0:10:31 > 0:10:36This is a one-off shot. I'm going to give you 150 quid or nowt.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38You're hard, aren't you?

0:10:38 > 0:10:42Because I'll tell you why I'm hard. Because I haven't got the faint...

0:10:42 > 0:10:46I really want to buy it. I haven't got a clue who I'm going to sell it to. Not the first idea.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49A man of your calibre?

0:10:49 > 0:10:51160 and we've got a deal.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53I'll give you another fiver.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57- I'll go with that. - You're a gentleman.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Cheers, matey.- Thank you very much.

0:10:59 > 0:11:00Let me shake you by the hand.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03- God bless, mate. Thank you very much indeed.- Thank you. You're welcome.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06What on Earth am I ever going to do with that?

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Well, only you can answer that question, Foxy.

0:11:09 > 0:11:14But the horse-trading results in another mighty notch on the Put Your Money... scoreboard.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18Both our gargantuan gladiators

0:11:18 > 0:11:21started the day with £750 of their own cash to spend.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Phil The Fox has vaulted way out in front.

0:11:25 > 0:11:32Three items bought for £245, meaning there's £505 left in his kitty.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37But it's not going nearly as well for Paul, who's only managed

0:11:37 > 0:11:39one item all morning.

0:11:39 > 0:11:46That cost £65, leaving £685 of his budget still to spend.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49MUSIC: "I Get Around" by The Beach Boys

0:11:52 > 0:11:54As we move on into the afternoon,

0:11:54 > 0:11:58our two rummaging wranglers need to get a wriggle on and knowing

0:11:58 > 0:12:02he's got to work wonders to win, Mr Morecambe comes out fighting.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06Almost immediately, he tunes in to an item that rocks.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10It's an old wall-mounted jukebox machine.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14So, the idea is that you make your selection and that would send

0:12:14 > 0:12:16a message to the jukebox in the cafe and then the whole thing

0:12:16 > 0:12:20would be played and you'd listen to the fantastic music of the day.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23The item dates from around 1964/1965.

0:12:23 > 0:12:27A great bit of rock'n'roll memorabilia, but its £145.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31A bit expensive for me but it would be music to my ears

0:12:31 > 0:12:33if it was a bit cheaper, I think, that one.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36And just when he needs it, Paul seals a demon deal.

0:12:36 > 0:12:41He barters with the stall holder and gets the jukebox for £100.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43All the best, now. Oh, dear me.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45MUSIC: "Baby love" by The Supremes

0:12:45 > 0:12:49But The Fox is still the man in pole position and while he bolts

0:12:49 > 0:12:53into the warmth of the indoor market, Paul is boldly going

0:12:53 > 0:12:59where no dealer has gone before, for an item that's out of this world.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Look at that. Think The Jetsons,

0:13:01 > 0:13:05think 1950s, 1960s. That is just so cool.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08It's obviously come off a fairground of some sort.

0:13:08 > 0:13:09I love it. I'm going to ask the price

0:13:09 > 0:13:11and it's going to be hundreds of pounds.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14And the spaceship hasn't travelled light years.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16It's only popped over from France.

0:13:18 > 0:13:19- What is it? - You want a good price?

0:13:19 > 0:13:23- Oui, yes, yes, please, a good price. - Yeah? Um... 160.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27I'd like to buy it but I was thinking more of around 100.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31- No. Impossible.- That's no! No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.

0:13:31 > 0:13:32THEY LAUGH

0:13:32 > 0:13:36- Not possible?- Not possible. - Not possible. 120, we'll have a go.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40- £120 and I'll take it away. - OK.- You want it? OK.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Thank you very much. I've just bought a space ship.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44LAUGHS

0:13:44 > 0:13:49Now that's left-field - it seems Paul's nicked his opponent's strategy.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51You know what?

0:13:51 > 0:13:54I really have put my money where my mouth is and took a gamble on this.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58I've never seen one before. It's made by Meline in France.

0:13:58 > 0:14:03Its fibreglass. Hopefully, the price and the profit will be intergalactic.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10And it means Paul's pulled it back.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Our trading titans are now running neck and neck.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19Indoors, Phil has warmed up and is trawling the stalls.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21There are few items that can outfox The Fox

0:14:21 > 0:14:24but for once, his encyclopaedic knowledge has a gap in it.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28- What's it for?- Tar for ships.- Tar?

0:14:30 > 0:14:34You mean like you put tar on a wooden ship's hull?

0:14:34 > 0:14:35That would ruin it. Wouldn't it?

0:14:35 > 0:14:40- What's the best you can do that for? - I can do 10 on that one.- 10?

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Thank you. I'm going to take that off you.- Thank you very much.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Thank you so much.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47And that's Phil's fourth purchase,

0:14:47 > 0:14:50but will he be able to sweep up a super sale?

0:14:50 > 0:14:54Only time will tell. Outdoors, time is telling.

0:14:54 > 0:14:59It's starting to get dark but Paul is soldiering on manfully.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Well, I persevered outside here.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03I'm really trying to buy something of quality that isn't damaged.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05It's very difficult in this light, actually.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08I'm going to give it another 10, 15 minutes here then I think

0:15:08 > 0:15:10I might head inside myself.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15Our boy's clearly been eating his carrots to carry on out there,

0:15:15 > 0:15:19but all of the smart money's already being spent indoors.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22Phil has just bought an Art Deco dish for £50.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26I am really, really pleased.

0:15:26 > 0:15:30I mean, that is such an un-Philip Serrell lot. Because it's refined.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34It's dainty, it's small. But what I like about that,

0:15:34 > 0:15:35it's of that Art Deco period.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39It's a lovely agate body that's almost translucent.

0:15:39 > 0:15:44You've got an English hallmarked silver rim and this lapis lazuli border.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47For me, that's a really good looking thing and condition's everything.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Mr Serrell is once again two items up

0:15:51 > 0:15:55and being inside has extra advantages.

0:15:55 > 0:16:00SONG: "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head"

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Trust me, I am so pleased that I am in here.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07Because out there, it is absolutely hosing down.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Mr Hayes, he's going to be soaked to the skin.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15Unless he's just snuck in here when I wasn't looking.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Funny you should say that.

0:16:17 > 0:16:22Do you know what, I've come in here now and most of the stall holders have packed up and gone.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Gosh, I'm really up against it now. I got to buy at least one more item.

0:16:25 > 0:16:26Oh, dear...

0:16:26 > 0:16:29And his move inside pays off straight away with

0:16:29 > 0:16:31a couple of snappy items.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37What can you tell me about this? Obviously, it's a rowing team.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40I think it's one of the Beaufort College, which I think was the Jesuit college

0:16:40 > 0:16:43rowing club and it's rowing at Henley Royal Regatta.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46So I take it, who are these guys? Are these the same guys?

0:16:46 > 0:16:49- That's the crew.- Did it come in together?- They were associated.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51That was as they came to me, together.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54- How much are they?- I was asking £45. - For the pair?

0:16:54 > 0:16:57Yeah, they'd be better about 25 quid.

0:16:57 > 0:16:58I wish I could!

0:16:58 > 0:17:01I just thought I'd put my oar in there, for a second.

0:17:01 > 0:17:06- How about meeting halfway at 35? - 35?

0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Yeah, I'll have that at 35 quid. Thank you.- Cheers.

0:17:09 > 0:17:10Thank you. I'll give you some money.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Well, should have come in out of the cold earlier, Mr Morecambe,

0:17:13 > 0:17:17and perhaps most of the traders would have still been here.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21# This town is becoming like a ghost town... #

0:17:22 > 0:17:26How much is that jardiniere stand on the top, please? The little one.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28- The very small one.- 240.

0:17:28 > 0:17:33These things are moderately collectible at the minute

0:17:33 > 0:17:37because the interest and market in Chinese goods is so strong.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Something's gone-on here, hasn't it? What's gone-on there?

0:17:41 > 0:17:43All it is is the grain of the wood

0:17:43 > 0:17:46and the varnish has thinned out there.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48It's nothing detrimental at all.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56I'm going to hand it you back.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Because I want to get ready to run when I make my offer.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05I'm going to offer you £150 for it.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06- It wouldn't be enough.- OK.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10I can, I can, I can go 180.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13160 quid, me finished.

0:18:15 > 0:18:16Got to be done, hasn't it?

0:18:16 > 0:18:18- If that's you finished, well... - Good man.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- You always get a bargain off me. - Thank you very much.

0:18:21 > 0:18:26A hefty haggle and Phil gets a third of the price knocked off the jardiniere.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29But Paul is hot on The Fox's tail.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31He's homed in on a potentially profitable picture.

0:18:33 > 0:18:34A lovely old engraving.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37From Chester. Now, Chester's not a million miles away from me.

0:18:37 > 0:18:42Now look at that. Bishop Lloyd's Palace, Chester.

0:18:42 > 0:18:43Monk.

0:18:44 > 0:18:49That's £8. There we are. I think I've found my last item. There we are.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Can that be a fiver, madam?

0:18:53 > 0:18:57The stallholder lets it go for £6 and after a long, hard day,

0:18:57 > 0:19:00that rounds of our buying bout.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Let's pile up the purchases and count the cash.

0:19:04 > 0:19:10Both our titans turned up with £750 of their own money to spend.

0:19:10 > 0:19:16Phil had a good day right from the word go. Six purchases for £465.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Paul, though, had a much tougher time.

0:19:20 > 0:19:25He finished up with five items and spent much less. £326.

0:19:26 > 0:19:31But buying is one thing - it's the selling that really counts.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33In particular, the profit our boys can pocket.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36Time to assess each other's wares.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39- There you are, what an antique fair.- It's massive, isn't it?

0:19:39 > 0:19:43And I feel like I've covered every blade of grass out there and every concrete tile in here.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45What do you reckon, Phil? Isn't that amazing?

0:19:45 > 0:19:48- I think that's fantastic, actually. - I absolutely love it.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51It's quirky, it's funky, it's retro. It's science fiction.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54It's The Jetsons and it's the era that's really popular.

0:19:54 > 0:19:55You'll have no problem selling that.

0:19:55 > 0:20:00- What's this, Paul?- That is a selector for a jukebox in the 1960s.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02- When I was young, we had phonographs!- Did you?

0:20:02 > 0:20:03LAUGHS

0:20:03 > 0:20:06I don't believe it! I'm delighted with these things.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09- What's been your favourite thing? - I love that planter.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13That was £160 and the way the Chinese market is, I think there's a profit in that.

0:20:13 > 0:20:20This, for me, I think it's a great thing to dress a really trendy clothes shop.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22- How much money have you got left? - Quite a lot.

0:20:22 > 0:20:27- I haven't spent a fortune. - Buy me a drink. Buy me a drink. - All right, then.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32In this game, they bonhomie never lasts.

0:20:32 > 0:20:37It's every man for himself as our hardy hagglers must now become

0:20:37 > 0:20:40selling supremos in their pursuit of profit.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43They have the contacts, they have the know-how,

0:20:43 > 0:20:46but can they line-up those knockout negotiations?

0:20:48 > 0:20:52Our fighting Fox is back in the hub of his antiques empire,

0:20:52 > 0:20:54sharpening his wily ways.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58The cartridge case I'm pleased with because I think

0:20:58 > 0:21:03I can identify a shooting man and that might just be the thing for him.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05So continuing the sporting theme...

0:21:05 > 0:21:08I've got these miniature hockey stick and cricket bat.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11If I can find a sportsman who is into that type of thing,

0:21:11 > 0:21:14I don't think at £35 they're going to be too difficult to shift.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18For me, the one quality thing that I bought was this really lovely

0:21:18 > 0:21:23little agate lapis lazuli, I think, and silver mounted pin dish

0:21:23 > 0:21:26and that was £50, so I'm quite hopeful about that.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30Also on his selling schedule, the vaulting horse, the jardiniere,

0:21:30 > 0:21:32and his wooden tar brush.

0:21:32 > 0:21:37But he has tip-top competition in this fight.

0:21:37 > 0:21:41The Morecambe moneyman is bright eyed and brimming with ideas.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43I loved the antique fair. And just look what you can buy.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46Fantastic. We've got something for everybody here.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50An old travel poster from an open-topped bus. Isn't that wonderful?

0:21:50 > 0:21:52I know a gentleman who has an open-topped bus

0:21:52 > 0:21:55in Morecambe and he does tours to Blackpool,

0:21:55 > 0:21:58so that's definitely got his name on that one.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01So an engraving of Chester, some rowing photographs.

0:22:01 > 0:22:06I need to research this particular club. And, of course, a spaceship.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10Paul is also rocking around for a buyer for the jukebox.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15Our boys can't bank on anything until they've shaken on a deal

0:22:15 > 0:22:18and the money has changed hands.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21So, which of these antiques titans will triumph?

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Let the selling onslaught begin!

0:22:24 > 0:22:30And it's The Fox who leaps in first, or should that be vaults in?

0:22:30 > 0:22:34I've got a friend, Simon, coming in and I'm going to try and sell him this little beastie.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36I think it's a really trendy cool thing

0:22:36 > 0:22:38and he's a good buyer of trendy cool things.

0:22:38 > 0:22:43The only issue is, for me, if you've got someone who's going to want this, he will pay more.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46If he hasn't, he will pay less. So, where are we going to go?

0:22:46 > 0:22:51Let's find out. Simon soon arrives at Phil's saleroom.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Well, I thought it would make a fantastic thing

0:22:53 > 0:22:57in...in like a trendy clothes shop window.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Yeah, window-dressing would do all right for that.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Well, the condition isn't bad, is it? But there are...

0:23:02 > 0:23:04I did notice some graffiti on here.

0:23:04 > 0:23:11And a few other bits and bobs. I dunno. You'll have to start me.

0:23:11 > 0:23:12What were you thinking?

0:23:12 > 0:23:14275, something like that?

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Er...um... I don't know about that. Um...

0:23:18 > 0:23:22Do you like the way he just...? Can I just...? The way he just said that then, not a flinch.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25245.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27210.

0:23:27 > 0:23:28Getting there, but you've just got to...

0:23:28 > 0:23:33- Right, it's got to be 225, isn't it? 225.- 235 and it's the deal.- 225.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36- 235 and it's a deal.- 225. And it's a deal. 225.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40- 225 is in between, isn't it? 200 and 250.- Go on be fair.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Good man. Thank you very much indeed. You'll do all right with this.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46And our prime specimen springs from the vaulting horse with

0:23:46 > 0:23:48a finely honed profit of £70.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53Paul's taking his jukebox to Accrington to a social club

0:23:53 > 0:23:56where his band have played before.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00It holds rock'n'roll nights, so Paul's hoping entertainment secretary, Eddie,

0:24:00 > 0:24:03will love the jukebox but he knows he's no pushover.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07Now then, I thought of you straight away. You can see why I rang you up.

0:24:07 > 0:24:12You're a real rock'n'roll enthusiast. This item here dates from about 1964.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15So' the late '50s, early '60s for me is the golden age.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18Is it still as popular, rock'n'roll, as it's ever been?

0:24:18 > 0:24:19Very popular. I mean, you come here

0:24:19 > 0:24:21and some of the ladies, you know,

0:24:21 > 0:24:23they're not as young as they used to be.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27And yet, they can dance all night and it keeps you fit.

0:24:27 > 0:24:32It's great music and rock'n'roll, well, it's never going to die.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Now, back in the day, the idea was, apparently, that this would be

0:24:35 > 0:24:38in a little booth within the rock'n'roll cafe

0:24:38 > 0:24:41and when you wanted to select the music you liked,

0:24:41 > 0:24:43you put in the top, here, it was one shilling I think,

0:24:43 > 0:24:46- or sixpence in this one. - Yeah, sixpence, one shilling.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Fabulous, isn't it?- Yeah. It's great.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51You could sit for hours around one of these.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54But I am here to talk business.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57If I was to ask you £150, would that be pushing my luck?

0:24:57 > 0:24:58You would be pushing your luck.

0:25:00 > 0:25:06- That's an Accrington welcome there, isn't it?- Well, no! I could give you 125.- OK.

0:25:06 > 0:25:11If it goes any higher than that - it is a club - I'd have to ask the committee!

0:25:11 > 0:25:14No need for that, Eddie. Mr Morecambe shakes on it,

0:25:14 > 0:25:17and the jukebox proves to be a great opening act,

0:25:17 > 0:25:19rocking in a profit of £25!

0:25:21 > 0:25:23- But I do have one favour to ask. - And what's that?

0:25:23 > 0:25:26- I know you've got line dancing next door.- That's right.

0:25:26 > 0:25:31I've always wanted to have a go at that. I know I'm a rock'n'roller through and through.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35- Would you mind if we popped next door?- I wouldn't mind at all. No. - Show me the way.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37MUSIC PLAYS

0:25:41 > 0:25:45Hmm, he's no shrinking violet there, our Paul!

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Where are you going?!

0:25:52 > 0:25:57They all did it wrong. None of them were following me. You're all out of step, all of you!

0:25:57 > 0:26:01Yes, line dancing might not be quite his thing,

0:26:01 > 0:26:05but when the rock'n'roll kicks in, our lad is on fire!

0:26:05 > 0:26:08ROCK'N'ROLL MUSIC PLAYS

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Mr Morecombe has the moves!

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Thank you very much.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Yes, Paul can't afford to get carried away,

0:26:26 > 0:26:29because The Fox is prowling around Worcester.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32He takes his £160 jardiniere to Gabriel,

0:26:32 > 0:26:34a third-generation antiques dealer.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38- Hi, Gabriel. How are you? - Good. Come in.

0:26:38 > 0:26:43I know it's not the best, but I don't think it's the worst because it's got that bit of marbling.

0:26:43 > 0:26:47That beaded pattern is quite attractive round the edge,

0:26:47 > 0:26:50because you'd only tend to get that on better-quality pieces.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54- And this'd be what, 1890? 1900? - Yes. That's it.

0:26:54 > 0:27:02I was hoping I could get 250 quid for it. I can't see 250 in it, not with...

0:27:02 > 0:27:05- OK.- It's got a bit of repair somewhere, hasn't it?

0:27:05 > 0:27:09Well, there's a piece round here that, if you turn it upside down,

0:27:09 > 0:27:14- if you want the truth, I just think it's the way it was made. - Oh! You didn't show me that.

0:27:14 > 0:27:19- It's all broken.- Where?- Look there. See the top of the leg? There.

0:27:19 > 0:27:23- Yeah, it's been smashed out.- It's been spliced on there, hasn't it?

0:27:23 > 0:27:27- And here, look, that's all been glued in.- Yeah.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31You're absolutely right.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35- The more you look at it, the more you see, don't you? - I'll give you 2 for it.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39If you give me 210, I'll walk out through the door and love you for ever.

0:27:39 > 0:27:43- Probably run out through the door with the money.- I know!

0:27:43 > 0:27:47- Would you do that?- Yes, I wouldn't argue for a £10 note.

0:27:47 > 0:27:51I'll shake you by the hand before you change your mind.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54Philip Serrell, that is what you call a lucky escape.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57The jardiniere pots a profit of £50.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01For animal with such acute night vision,

0:28:01 > 0:28:04how did The Fox manage to miss that damage?

0:28:04 > 0:28:07Not something our Mr Morecambe need worry about,

0:28:07 > 0:28:09because he is just about to go cosmic.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Right, here we go.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16Do you know, what a time to run out of jet fuel, that's all I can say!

0:28:16 > 0:28:19What a great item. I love this spaceship.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22I took it home, I showed it to the kids.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25They haven't stopped playing with it since. This is a great item.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27I've brought it along to a fairground

0:28:27 > 0:28:30that comes to Morecambe once a year, and this is the storage yard,

0:28:30 > 0:28:36near Kendal, and hopefully, this is exactly the sort of thing he wants for one of his carousels.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42Our interplanetary voyager paid £120 for his spaceship,

0:28:42 > 0:28:46so will the fair's owner, David, see its universal appeal?

0:28:46 > 0:28:52- What can you tell me about this? - It looks very continental. Italian, something like that.- Right.

0:28:52 > 0:28:56- You can usually tell by the fibreglass.- Right.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59If it's a nice fibreglass job, it's foreign.

0:28:59 > 0:29:03If it's hand-painted, like ours, it's English. It's a well-made thing.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06- It's brilliant.- It's fabulous. - Glad you like it.

0:29:06 > 0:29:11- Any idea how old this might be? - I would say late '60s, early '70s.

0:29:11 > 0:29:16Is that the sort of thing you'd like to keep as a spare, maybe?

0:29:16 > 0:29:19I have a roundabout that was built in 1960 that my grandfather had built,

0:29:19 > 0:29:25but there's a couple of things on it that are worn out, and this is about the right era.

0:29:25 > 0:29:29If I asked you, say, a couple of hundred quid for it, am I massively out?

0:29:29 > 0:29:33- Or have I overrated or underrated it? - I would value it at £160 to £180.

0:29:33 > 0:29:39- Right, so we're in the right figure. How about if we met in the middle? - That'll do me.

0:29:39 > 0:29:43- Is that all right with you? - As long as you're happy. - I'm very happy with that.

0:29:43 > 0:29:45I'm delighted that you like it, and good luck.

0:29:45 > 0:29:49Another supreme sale for Mr Morecambe. At £170,

0:29:49 > 0:29:53the spaceship jets off, leaving him with a profit of £50,

0:29:53 > 0:29:58and our big kid can't resist sampling all the fun of the fair.

0:30:01 > 0:30:06Now, then, Phil, you cheeky monkey. How are your selling days getting on?

0:30:06 > 0:30:09Well, since you ask, let's tot up the figures.

0:30:11 > 0:30:15Phil "The Fox" Serrell has so far sold two of his six items

0:30:15 > 0:30:17and he's raking in the cash.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21He's got £120 profit stashed away.

0:30:21 > 0:30:24Paul "Mr Morecambe" Hayes has also notched up two sales,

0:30:24 > 0:30:29but he's a bit behind on profit, having made £75.

0:30:31 > 0:30:35As we launch into the last leg, our likely lads must look lively.

0:30:35 > 0:30:40They both have several items left to sell, but time is running out.

0:30:40 > 0:30:45The Fox is going to need his finest sharp-shooting skills.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48He's taking his cartridge case to meet a world champion.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51I'm just outside Worcester, in Martley,

0:30:51 > 0:30:54and I'm going to meet an old friend, Tim Smith.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Tim has represented Great Britain at clay pigeon shooting,

0:30:57 > 0:31:02and I'm just hoping that he needs something to put the cartridges in.

0:31:04 > 0:31:10- Match practice? How are you, mate? Good to see you.- Good to see you.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13There is a little beauty.

0:31:13 > 0:31:17Now, I know that you are a buyer of all things shotgun, aren't you?

0:31:17 > 0:31:22- I thought you were bringing your sandwiches in there!- I wish. I should've done.

0:31:22 > 0:31:27So, this would have come from the great age of English shooting, which is, what, 1900 to 1920?

0:31:27 > 0:31:32It could be 1880s onwards. Very often, you see them with stickers on.

0:31:32 > 0:31:36- Really?- Great Western Railways - up to Scotland for grouse shooting or pheasant shooting.

0:31:36 > 0:31:43- Really?- I was thinking it's worth 150 quid.- This is worth probably £100.

0:31:43 > 0:31:47- No, it's got to be more than that. - 110. That's...

0:31:47 > 0:31:50Honestly, it is really not worth any more money.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54- I'll come down to 130. - I'll shoot you for the difference.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58If you win, it's £120. If I win, it's £110.

0:32:00 > 0:32:04- Go on, then. I'll take my coat off. - So, it's a shootout.

0:32:04 > 0:32:08Will Phil come out all guns blazing? Or will he get shot down in flames?

0:32:08 > 0:32:10It's best of five clays.

0:32:10 > 0:32:17Just so the new boy stands a chance, Tim offers to go one handed.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19After a full safety briefing,

0:32:19 > 0:32:22- it's the world champion who takes to the trigger first.- Pull.

0:32:22 > 0:32:28- Oh, look at that! And he's only using one hand!- Pull.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32That's another one.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35- Three!- Pull.

0:32:35 > 0:32:39And again. Will he get five in a row?

0:32:39 > 0:32:40Pull.

0:32:42 > 0:32:46Oh, that's extraordinary! A perfect score.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49- There you go, then, Phil. Your go.- This is it.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53P Serrell versus the world champ. Stand back!

0:32:53 > 0:32:55Quite a challenge.

0:32:55 > 0:32:59- Miss one, and he's done for.- Pull.

0:32:59 > 0:33:03Ooh, hello! Foxy's done this before.

0:33:05 > 0:33:10Our fox cub has a hidden talent. Can he go all the way?

0:33:10 > 0:33:12Pull.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15- That's three.- Pull.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20Oh! It was too good to be true.

0:33:20 > 0:33:25That's three out of four, that isn't that hot, really. Rats!

0:33:25 > 0:33:28What a valiant effort from The Fox,

0:33:28 > 0:33:33but the world champion takes the cartridge case for £110.

0:33:33 > 0:33:39Phil's not done badly, though, doubling his money and making a profit of £55.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43As The Fox climbs the profit ladder,

0:33:43 > 0:33:46Mr Morecambe is also reaching for the sky.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49- Well, he's certainly going up in the world.- All aboard.

0:33:49 > 0:33:53Plenty of room upstairs. Move down the bus, please. Thank you!

0:33:58 > 0:34:01It may just seem like I'm enjoying myself, I'm on Morecambe prom

0:34:01 > 0:34:04on an open-topped bus, but there is method in my madness.

0:34:04 > 0:34:08Now, this bus is very similar to the one that's on this poster,

0:34:08 > 0:34:11and this very bus does tours to Blackpool.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13So, isn't that fantastic?

0:34:13 > 0:34:15So, this one has the name of the driver all over it.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21- Hello, there, Paul.- Hello, David. How are you?- I'm all right.

0:34:21 > 0:34:22- How are you?- Good.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26I must admit I used to go on a bus like this when I was seven or eight years old.

0:34:26 > 0:34:30- You would have gone on this bus many, many times.- This actual bus? - This actual bus.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33Do you still charge one shilling and sixpence?

0:34:33 > 0:34:37- Unfortunately not. I'd soon be out of business.- Exactly.

0:34:37 > 0:34:41Obviously I'm here to try and do a bit of business myself, if I can put this down here.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44What I've got is this wonderful travel poster.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47Is this the sort of thing you'd be interested in for your collection?

0:34:47 > 0:34:49Or for your interest, really.

0:34:49 > 0:34:54- Right, if it was smaller, I would probably have it.- Right, OK.

0:34:54 > 0:34:58I could then fit it on the vehicle, to go with my others.

0:34:58 > 0:35:02You haven't got an office, a storage place where it could hang lovely?

0:35:02 > 0:35:06I have got an office, but it'd only gather dust in that office.

0:35:06 > 0:35:12Oh, what a shocker! Our blue-eyed bus boy has a long walk home.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16But as Mr Morecambe bowls a no ball,

0:35:16 > 0:35:20the Fox is in the slips just waiting to catch him out.

0:35:20 > 0:35:24He's armed with his miniature cricket bat and hockey stick.,

0:35:24 > 0:35:27and he's come to meet a man he's known for 40 years.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30Phil's mate Mike makes cricket bats for a living.

0:35:32 > 0:35:36- I have bought a cricket bat. - A miniature cricket bat.- It is.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38Traditionally, children get them to go

0:35:38 > 0:35:42and get autographs of their favourite players, don't they?

0:35:42 > 0:35:45That's exactly right. The modern ones are just churned out.

0:35:45 > 0:35:49This is different. You can see this has actually been made correctly

0:35:49 > 0:35:52with a splice fitted and the shoulders made off.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55- So that's more than just an autograph cricket bat.- I'm pleased to hear it.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58But what I think is more interesting is this hockey stick.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00You have a look, you're the expert,

0:36:00 > 0:36:04whether that is something that they've used specifically

0:36:04 > 0:36:07for a shop display or whether it was like a traveller's sample.

0:36:07 > 0:36:12I think this would have been used as a display model and, again,

0:36:12 > 0:36:14this would be a great collector's item.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18I would like to get as close to 100 quid as I could, really.

0:36:18 > 0:36:23- And I was thinking more about £20 apiece for these.- 40 quid?

0:36:23 > 0:36:27- Well, that's more my sort of... - 80 quid?

0:36:27 > 0:36:31We could offer you £65 for the two.

0:36:31 > 0:36:3575 quid and they're yours.

0:36:35 > 0:36:39- Shall we declare at 70?- Declare? I'm probably going to retire.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42Foxy hits the boundary.

0:36:42 > 0:36:43He doubles his money yet again

0:36:43 > 0:36:47and heads back to the pavilion £35 in profit.

0:36:47 > 0:36:52With time ticking away, Mr Morecambe is feeling the pressure.

0:36:52 > 0:36:55He sells the engraving of the Bishop's Palace in Chester

0:36:55 > 0:36:59for £10 at an antiques fair, but once the cost of admission to

0:36:59 > 0:37:03the fair comes out of his budget, our boy makes a small loss of £1.

0:37:04 > 0:37:08He's hoping to have more luck with his two rowing photos.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11He's given one of them a new frame and he's brought them

0:37:11 > 0:37:13both down south.

0:37:13 > 0:37:18I'm on the Beaumont Estate in Old Windsor - how fantastic is that?!

0:37:18 > 0:37:20I'm here, really, to see this wonderful old building

0:37:20 > 0:37:26because, believe it or not, this was the Beaumont College that's mentioned in these two photographs.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29These days, the building is a hotel and Paul meets Annie,

0:37:29 > 0:37:32who's the sales director.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35I've stumbled across these two fantastic photographs.

0:37:35 > 0:37:38I love old sporting pictures, anyway,

0:37:38 > 0:37:40but that's the Beaumont College rowing team at Henley.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43I don't know how they did - there's not many records around.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45This is the one that really intrigued me.

0:37:45 > 0:37:49I just wandered up to the front of this big white building

0:37:49 > 0:37:51and this is the building behind these gentlemen here.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Isn't that amazing?- Absolutely.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56The columns, we've restored all of it back to the original.

0:37:56 > 0:38:00It's the White House. It's our building.

0:38:00 > 0:38:05And one fascinating fact - have you heard about to Coco Chanel connection to the college?

0:38:05 > 0:38:10- No, no. Please. That's very... - Well, Coco Chanel, her nephew came to this college,

0:38:10 > 0:38:17and she designed her Chanel suit of 1924 based on the blazers that this rowing club or society had.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20- Isn't that amazing? - That's unbelievable.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23I was wondering if this is something that maybe the hotel would be

0:38:23 > 0:38:25interested in displaying, as an historical item?

0:38:25 > 0:38:28It would be a shame not to. This is where it belongs.

0:38:28 > 0:38:33Beaumont Estate needs all the history that we can possibly gather.

0:38:33 > 0:38:38If I asked you the princely sum of £80, would that be agreeable Is that a fair price?

0:38:38 > 0:38:42- I'd say we are in the ballpark of agreeing £80.- OK.

0:38:42 > 0:38:46Yes, I think it would be well worth it to add to what we've already got.

0:38:46 > 0:38:50- If I said £70, does that make it easy for you?- I'd say we have a deal.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53- We have a deal? OK. So we shake on that, then?- Absolutely.

0:38:53 > 0:38:54That's lovely.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56Mr Morecambe is back in the game.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59Taking off the cost of the new frame,

0:38:59 > 0:39:03our oarsman steers in a profit of £27.

0:39:03 > 0:39:08There we are. It just goes to show, all that homework really paid off.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10I've become a bit of a detective, really.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13I managed to track down the original college.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15This spot is where that photograph was taken,

0:39:15 > 0:39:18and I've reunited those photographs in their rightful place,

0:39:18 > 0:39:20which I think is a wonderful experience.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23But I've been given some more homework here.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26It says, "Paul, if you're going to win this challenge to beat Philip Serrell,

0:39:26 > 0:39:30"you've got to work harder. Repeat 100 times." Paul, you've got to work harder.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33Yes, he's got that right.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36The Fox is a one-man selling platoon.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39He soon rustles up a buyer for his wooden tar brush,

0:39:39 > 0:39:43that goes for £15, sweeping up a profit of £5.

0:39:45 > 0:39:50The Fox is always on the lookout for fresh prey, and whilst driving around Worcester,

0:39:50 > 0:39:53he spots a new antiques shop that's just opened.

0:39:53 > 0:39:57Our war horse charges in to see if he can raise any interest in his last item -

0:39:57 > 0:40:02the Art Deco agate silver dish - and he meets owner Rene.

0:40:04 > 0:40:10- London piece.- Yeah.- 1919, I think. - Yeah.- Just about, is it? Yeah.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14I like the lapis. I like the inlay. Nice piece.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16Nice for gents' cufflinks.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19What I love about it is, if you hold it up to the light,

0:40:19 > 0:40:23- look at the way those colours just come through there.- Hmm.

0:40:23 > 0:40:28- It's lovely, isn't it? Is it your type of thing?- It's all right.

0:40:28 > 0:40:32- It's all right?!- I'll buy it if there's a profit in it, a little bit.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35- How much?- Well, I love that, and I'd like to try

0:40:35 > 0:40:38and get as close to £120 as I can for it.

0:40:38 > 0:40:45- Hmm.- Ohh!- It's too much for me. - Is it? What's your very best?

0:40:45 > 0:40:50I'll be overgenerous, because I'm in a good mood. That's unusual for me.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53- I've heard that before! Go on.- 100. 100.- I'll take it.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56You're a gentleman. You've been very fair to me.

0:40:56 > 0:40:59And The Fox tidies things up.

0:40:59 > 0:41:04The dish doubles Phil's money once more, serving up a profit of £50.

0:41:04 > 0:41:08Our selling supremos are all sold up,

0:41:08 > 0:41:11so which of our kings gets to claim the throne?

0:41:11 > 0:41:15Both our boys went to market with £750 burning holes in their pockets.

0:41:16 > 0:41:22Phil "The Fox" Serrell made six purchases and forked out £465.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26Paul "Mr Morecambe" Hayes bought just five items and,

0:41:26 > 0:41:29including a couple of extra costs to spruce up his sales,

0:41:29 > 0:41:33he spent £339, but from here on in,

0:41:33 > 0:41:36the focus is squarely on cold, hard profit.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40All of the money that Paul and Phil have made from today's challenge

0:41:40 > 0:41:44will be going to a charity of their choice. So, without further ado,

0:41:44 > 0:41:48let's find out who is today's Put You Money Where Your Mouth Is champion!

0:41:50 > 0:41:54- Ah, now then, Phil.- You all right? - I'm great, thank you very much.

0:41:54 > 0:41:58- I remember that antique fair. Do you remember the weather?- I know!

0:41:58 > 0:42:00It hosed down. Absolutely hosed down.

0:42:00 > 0:42:05- And we finished up inside. One of the best things, actually, I bought inside.- What was that?

0:42:05 > 0:42:07- Do you remember those pictures of the rowing club?- Yeah.

0:42:07 > 0:42:11That was a real bit of detective work. They ended up somewhere fantastic. A total surprise.

0:42:11 > 0:42:16- You do the countdown this time.- OK. Three, two, one.- £101? How did I do?

0:42:16 > 0:42:21How did you do that? Well done. That's fantastic. I thought I did quite well on this one.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23It doesn't quite pan out the way you plan it, does it?

0:42:23 > 0:42:25It's a bit like life in general.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27But I tell you something. I met this line dancer...

0:42:27 > 0:42:29Mr Serrell takes the crown.

0:42:29 > 0:42:33Paul did eventually manage to find a new home for the bus poster -

0:42:33 > 0:42:35the Northwest Museum of Road Transport -

0:42:35 > 0:42:41but because it's a voluntary organisation, he didn't seek out a big money deal.

0:42:41 > 0:42:45- I would love you to have it here if it is something that'd you'd be interested in.- Yes.

0:42:45 > 0:42:49But I wouldn't feel right asking for any profit on it. Could you give my money back?

0:42:49 > 0:42:53- Then I could take £65 back with me.- It would look very nice here.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56- That sounds great to me. Can we shake on that?- Yes.- That's lovely. Thank you very much.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59So no profit on the poster, but crucially,

0:42:59 > 0:43:02Mr Morecambe did make his money back.

0:43:02 > 0:43:06Well, nothing spectacular for me at the antique fair

0:43:06 > 0:43:08but steady profits all the way through,

0:43:08 > 0:43:10and that is what buying and selling is all about.

0:43:10 > 0:43:13I must admit, the antique fair really was intergalactic,

0:43:13 > 0:43:17and I was hoping for a sky-high profit, but do you know what?

0:43:17 > 0:43:18I'm still rocking'n'rolling!

0:43:18 > 0:43:21Yes, and you'll need to keep rocking'n'rolling,

0:43:21 > 0:43:24because tomorrow our bad boys face the ultimate test.

0:43:24 > 0:43:29It's all-out war as they're thrown in at the deep end with the Put Your Money showdown.
