00:00Find the wheel of a classic car.
00:01Here we go.
00:02Woo-hoo-hoo!
00:03And a goal to scar Britain for antiques.
00:06The aim?
00:07To make the biggest profit at auction.
00:09But it's no mean feat.
00:11There'll be worthy winners.
00:12I can't stop smiling.
00:14And valiant losers.
00:15Right, I retire.
00:16Will it be the high road to glory?
00:17Oh, look at that!
00:20Or the slow road to disaster?
00:22Oh.
00:23Oh, dear.
00:24This is Antiques Road Trip.
00:28Yeah.
00:30Once again, we are in the fabulous Northern Ireland.
00:35And we can expect plenty more daring do from our daring duo.
00:39Harper and Irvin are on it.
00:42Yes, little mini Brian, as named by our maestros, is off and running.
00:47And Rue and David are as agreeable as ever.
00:50Do you know what?
00:51We would never argue on anything, would we?
00:52Oh, never, Rue.
00:53We're completely on the same page.
00:56We are.
00:56Your page.
00:57No.
00:58Whoops!
00:58Yes.
00:59They will also have the equitable amount of £200 each to spend, of course.
01:04Ireland is known for its fabulous hospitality.
01:07Yes.
01:08The rolling green hills, the good luck.
01:10Not to mention all the excellent antiquaries.
01:14Rue from Scotland is a dealer with her eye on the main chance.
01:18I think I'm definitely going to go.
01:22Well, county Durham resident David, also a dealer, knows a 17th century Irish bottle when he sees
01:28one.
01:29Oh, my goodness me.
01:31Uuuh!
01:32And so, on their first trip to the sailroom, it was he who took the spoils.
01:38£320.
01:40Yeah! Thank you very much, Ruth.
01:43Thus, David leads 1-0 in our best of five, with a very, very long wait still to go.
01:48Oh, Ru, you can call it lucky if you want.
01:51Oh, the luck of the Irish was on your side today.
01:54My grandmother came through.
01:56Well done, Granny Mary.
01:58They started out in Londonderry, and today will visit Belfast,
02:03before heading to Ru's Bonny, Scotland, David's Merry, England, and Shirley Bassey's Wales.
02:10There was a girl called Ru. She didn't half love a good shoe.
02:14Oh, yeah.
02:15Needs work?
02:16But their destination is where?
02:19Just outside of Ballyclere.
02:22Which almost 80 years ago hosted a Formula One motor race.
02:26Brim, brim!
02:28And look down there, because here comes our early leader in racing green.
02:34Having deposited her co-driver, she's no doubt keen to get rummaging at Bridgend Antiques.
02:40Hello.
02:42Hey, Ru. Pleased to meet you.
02:44That was Hector, by the way, and this is very much his house style.
02:50£200 to spend, remember?
02:51You know, sometimes you go into an antique shop, and you see things, you think, oh, that's nice.
03:01But I tell you what, looking at this, my heart is just absolutely racing.
03:05So this is a Victorian post-green, but by far the most beautiful I've ever seen, and I'm a lover of peacocks.
03:14And this one next to it is a Regency post-green, but what are they?
03:18So these, at face level, allowed them to get the warmth from the fire, but protect and shield their face from that raging heat.
03:27Especially useful at dances and parties.
03:31Now let's have a look at the price.
03:33£1.75.
03:34I only have £200.
03:36We know.
03:37But I love it.
03:38I'm going to keep looking, but it would break my heart if I could not take this to auction,
03:42because I have fallen hook, line and sinker in love with it.
03:46Crikey.
03:47Let's leave her on the horns of that particular dilemma, and find out where David's got to.
03:53Close to the shore of Loch Ney in Ballinderi.
03:57Oh, here he comes, look.
03:59Not that he's exactly hard to spot, of course.
04:02Although, once inside this huge establishment, it could be a very different matter.
04:07Oh, my goodness gracious me.
04:10It goes all the way back.
04:13And down there.
04:15And down there.
04:15Oh, well, at least he'll have Christine as his trusty guide.
04:20She waves a flag, that one.
04:25Pretty, pretty, pretty.
04:27Very pretty.
04:28Also, he has £200, of course.
04:33Oh, I say.
04:35Now that is a handy little thing.
04:38It is a letter opener.
04:39Not used very often these days.
04:43This was made in China for the Western market.
04:45It's cast in two parts.
04:47You've got a very flexible blade there for slicing open the paper.
04:53Lots of strength, but lots of movement.
04:55And then the handle is absolutely lovely.
04:58So it depicts carp representing, in Chinese culture, power, strength, tenacity.
05:04Made of brass.
05:05And then down the blade, you've got a little bit of foliate design, finished with a little gentle butterfly.
05:14The power and strength in the handle, and a little bit of love and gentleness, the tip.
05:20It is such a good quality little thing, and it's a real antique.
05:25So I'm not going to leave it here.
05:26I'm going to put it on the counter, while I look around.
05:29And we'll shout, cut, and pick up back in Ballyclare, where Rue has this rather budget-straining screen under serious consideration.
05:39There's plenty else besides, though.
05:41Treasure upon treasure.
05:43Exactly.
05:44With Hector on hand, should there be deal talk?
05:49I have a soft spot for vases, especially when there's a pair of them.
05:53And these are Japanese clazoni work.
05:56On the body of the vase, the design is drawn out with these fine wires of metal, either gold, silver, or brass.
06:03And then the enamel is filled into these tiny little compartments to make up the design.
06:09But these are not like the normal clazoni vases you see.
06:13Usually a tad brighter and much more ornate.
06:17£78 for the pair.
06:19There's a clazoni-loving crowd out there that are ready to spend.
06:23Rue has expensive tastes today, still contemplating that £175 pole screen.
06:30These silver trays are stunning, but way outside of my budget.
06:36But this is what's caught my eye.
06:39This isn't particularly standout.
06:42You see it on every dressing table, the perfume bottles, the hairpin holders, the cut glass and the crystal.
06:49But this is a hair pot.
06:52It was made as a part of a dressing table set.
06:54Now this is 1925, so it's late Art Deco cut glass.
07:00Let's check the condition.
07:02Looks good.
07:03Signs of wear, but the silver.
07:07There's one little dent on there.
07:09But do you know what?
07:10That's to be expected.
07:11This seems to have held its own, considering it is, oh, exactly 100 years old.
07:16Happy birthday, Pot.
07:18£34, that could be a nice little buy.
07:21But it all adds up to 287.
07:24Hector!
07:29Do you know what makes me really happy?
07:31A gong.
07:32Oh, that's a good loud one.
07:34I think you have his attention.
07:36I found three things.
07:37OK.
07:38One is the peacock fire screen.
07:40And then you've also got a pair of cloisoni vases, R78.
07:44And then this little chap at 34.
07:47So, I don't know if you're Team Rue or Team David.
07:51Or Team David.
07:52Are you?
07:53No, I'm not.
07:54Don't do that to me.
07:57He's a tease.
07:58The poll screen especially.
08:00I mean, I know it's a big ask, but if you don't ask, you don't get.
08:04Looks apprehensive.
08:05I was thinking...
08:05Rock bottom, 80?
08:09OK, go on ahead.
08:1280 quid.
08:1380 quid.
08:13Fine.
08:13OK.
08:14The cloisoni vases, could they be 40-ish?
08:2050?
08:2050.
08:2345?
08:25OK.
08:27And then your hair tidy here at 34.
08:32Could that just be a nice round 20?
08:34The death on it.
08:35No bargaining.
08:36OK.
08:3720 quid.
08:38OK.
08:38Done.
08:38145 in total.
08:41Would 140 be cheeky?
08:43Yes, it would go on ahead.
08:48140.
08:49Hector, you are such a good man.
08:52Trojan, I'd say.
08:53Making the screen 80, the vases 40, and the pot 20 pounds.
08:58Cheeky doesn't cover it.
09:02And so, with goods to be collected later and £60 left over, Rue is departing from Ballyclare.
09:09And we'll catch up with David, last seen taking a shine to a bit of brass.
09:14Oh, I like that.
09:18So, looks like maybe a picture frame, but it isn't.
09:22It's a pocket watch stand.
09:25And fortunately, we do have a pocket watch, so I can demonstrate.
09:29Because when this was made, pocket watches were a necessity.
09:33It's well before the invention of the wrist watch.
09:37Late Victorian, by the looks of it.
09:39And if you had something about you, you would always put your pocket watch in its specific pocket watch stand,
09:47and therefore creating a lovely little mantle clock.
09:52Isn't that gorgeous?
09:53OK, £68.
09:56Now, is there a market for pocket watch stands?
09:59Well, yes, it's a very big yes.
10:02Let's add it to the list, then.
10:04Anything else?
10:06Oh, he's nice.
10:08Oh!
10:10Don't you think he's nice?
10:12In miniature door knocker, he's bronze.
10:15But look at the way he's worn down.
10:17The Durham Cathedral has a great big bronze knocker that looks remarkably like this character.
10:25David's a County Durham resident, of course.
10:28It's called the Sanctuary Knocker, because if you were a criminal running through the streets of Durham,
10:33if you got to the Durham Cathedral main door and grabbed hold of the Sanctuary Knocker and screamed Sanctuary,
10:43the crowd behind you, legally, were unable to touch you.
10:48Well, not for 37 days at least.
10:51No ticket price on that one.
10:53He is gorgeous and for the right money, I'd have it.
10:58Now, Christine is definitely around here somewhere.
11:02OK, I've got three objects.
11:03Lovely.
11:04Letter opener.
11:05That could be 30.
11:07Can it be 20?
11:08No.
11:09No.
11:10We might go 28.
11:1328.
11:13So we've got the pocket watch stand.
11:16Our very best is 55.
11:18Right.
11:19Yes.
11:20The bronze door knocker.
11:22Oh, lovely.
11:22Is he cheap and cheerful?
11:25I'll do him for 20.
11:2620's fine.
11:27OK.
11:27That's fine.
11:27That's great.
11:28Not half.
11:29Another triple purchase.
11:32103 in total.
11:34With 97 left over.
11:36I've never bought so much bronze in my life.
11:38Back in Bryan, our trippers are together once again
11:42and about to take a brief break
11:43from their relentless acquisition of fine antiques.
11:47Have you ever been to Belfast before, Ruth?
11:49I have.
11:50Very exciting city.
11:52Beautiful.
11:53And it's vibrant.
11:54Well, if David's got his directions right,
11:57that's exactly where you're heading.
11:59Northern Ireland's capital.
12:00Which is rightly famed for its rich maritime history
12:05as both a port and a shipyard,
12:07in which capacity it once contributed
12:10almost 10% of the world output,
12:14including several great ocean liners.
12:17And one of the many attractions
12:19of the waterfront regeneration
12:20is a piece of Victorian seafaring history
12:23which, although almost 140 years old,
12:26only arrived here in Belfast in 2015.
12:32That's it, eh?
12:33The Great Light.
12:34Wow.
12:35Ruth and David are about to find out more
12:37from Kerry Sweeney
12:39of the Belfast Maritime Trust.
12:41Hello.
12:42Hi.
12:43I'm David.
12:44Nice to meet you.
12:44Welcome to Belfast.
12:45I'm Ru.
12:45And welcome to The Great Light.
12:47What is The Great Light?
12:48It's one of the largest ever lighthouse optics
12:52to be built.
12:53It's seven metres tall,
12:55it's three metres wide,
12:56and it weighs 10 tonnes.
12:58Are we loud in?
12:59Yes.
12:59Follow me.
13:00Although the light
13:01no longer fulfils its original purpose,
13:04it seems fitting
13:05that it now occupies a place
13:06on the iconic Belfast waterfront,
13:09close to where the SS Titanic
13:11was constructed.
13:13When was it actually built?
13:14This was built in 1887 in Paris,
13:17and then it was in a lighthouse
13:20off the coast of Donegal,
13:22Tory Island,
13:24up until 1924.
13:27And then they dismantled it
13:28and it went on to another lighthouse
13:30called Mew Island.
13:32And then from Mew Island,
13:33we rescued it
13:34when it was being replaced with an LED.
13:37And how did you get it
13:37from its last location to here?
13:39It took a helicopter
13:41and two boats
13:43and a huge crane.
13:44We had to dismantle it
13:46into hundreds of pieces
13:47and then rebuild it.
13:50Lighthouses,
13:51like this one in Alexandria,
13:52one of the world's seven wonders,
13:54have existed since ancient times.
13:57During the 19th century,
13:58the introduction of a revolutionary lens,
14:00thanks to French physicist
14:02Augustin-Jean Fresnel,
14:05extended the beams of light
14:07much further out to sea,
14:08making lighthouses
14:10dramatically more effective.
14:13How many are there in existence
14:15and where are they?
14:16There was only ever 30 of them made
14:19and you had different grades,
14:21but this was the largest
14:22you would ever get.
14:23And they were on landfall sites
14:25on the edge of the world,
14:27directing the shipping
14:29across those massive oceans
14:31in the worst weather as well.
14:33And that was their job.
14:35One of those still in use
14:37is the Cape Race Lighthouse
14:39in Canada,
14:40which in 1912
14:41received the Titanic's distress call.
14:44OK, I think we can let you
14:47pop up and have a look inside us.
14:48Oh, I say how very exciting.
14:50One at a time, though, please.
14:53Oh, ladders and me
14:54are not a good combination.
14:56Especially wearing a cape.
14:58Oh, my goodness.
14:59I'm a good shower singer,
15:00but the acoustics
15:01are better up here.
15:02I'll let you have a look.
15:03Of course.
15:04Aside from impressing schoolchildren
15:06and antiques experts,
15:07the great light
15:08does still have plenty of uses.
15:11Can you change it different colours
15:12for different occasions?
15:13Yeah, we do it all the time.
15:15Which one's your personal favourite on this?
15:17I love pink.
15:18Pink.
15:19I might be with you on that.
15:20Nice.
15:23Well, that was a busy day.
15:26Lots of shopping
15:26followed by a heap of history.
15:28Sadly, now,
15:29when we think of Titanic,
15:30we think of Rose and Jack.
15:32I've never seen the movie.
15:34Have you never?
15:35No.
15:35They found love
15:36despite their class differences.
15:38Well, this is very much
15:39like us, Rue.
15:40So, if we were floating on a door,
15:42would you let me on the door?
15:43Oh, absolutely.
15:44You would?
15:44You wouldn't even have to say
15:46sugar up, Rue.
15:48Night-night.
15:49Next morning,
15:54the Teach Yourself the Local Lingo classes
15:57are coming along nicely.
15:59What's a crack is a good phrase,
16:01but one I've been saying for years,
16:04which I love,
16:04is top of the morning to you.
16:06That's lovely.
16:07And you know,
16:07in Northern Ireland,
16:08she's looked after us,
16:09hasn't she?
16:10Absolutely she has.
16:11And they've also been
16:12helping themselves,
16:13of course,
16:14with David snaffling
16:15a paper knife,
16:16a pocket watch stand
16:17and a miniature door knocker,
16:19as you do.
16:20He is gorgeous
16:21and for the right money,
16:23I'll have him.
16:24He did,
16:24and so has
16:25£97 for today's purchases,
16:28while Rue
16:29spent a bit more
16:30on a pair of cloisonne vases,
16:32a dressing table pot
16:33and a Victorian pulse cream.
16:36I've fallen hook,
16:38line and sinker
16:39in love with it.
16:40Leaving just £60
16:41in her kitty.
16:42Not that a lack of cash
16:44is her only concern.
16:46Is my driving getting better
16:47or worse?
16:48It's getting worse.
16:49Is that normal?
16:51For once,
16:52I agree with you.
16:53Well,
16:53our Brian
16:54seems to be taking it
16:55in his stride.
16:56Their very next opportunity
16:58to buy
16:59will be back in Belfast,
17:01close to those famous shipyards
17:03at the
17:04on the square emporium.
17:06Oh, David.
17:07I found my first buy.
17:08Cats.
17:08Look at these handsome boys.
17:11I bagged them.
17:11Honestly,
17:12you and cats.
17:13Grrr.
17:15Wow.
17:15Oh, hello.
17:16Oh, this is going to be fun.
17:18It's massive.
17:191,300 square metres,
17:20actually,
17:21which should give them
17:23plenty of room
17:24to spread out
17:25and not be stepping
17:26on each other's toes
17:27too much.
17:30Going once,
17:32going twice,
17:33for the third time.
17:36Sold!
17:38Excitable as ever.
17:40Oh,
17:41now this makes me happy.
17:43I love a globe
17:44because this is a snapshot
17:46of the world
17:47at that time.
17:48And this
17:49is an example
17:50of an educational globe.
17:51This is 1960s.
17:53It is beautiful.
17:54And if I look closely,
17:56I am actually on the map.
17:59Well,
18:00I am Roo,
18:01but Roo is really
18:02Arusha.
18:03And if you look here,
18:04Tanzania,
18:06this is a safari town
18:07called Arusha.
18:09Population
18:09just over
18:10600,000.
18:11I love it.
18:12The price
18:13is £165.
18:16It's probably
18:17about right
18:17because globes
18:18are collectible,
18:19but I'll keep
18:20looking for something
18:20I can afford to buy.
18:22£60 left,
18:23remember?
18:24Roo?
18:25Hmm?
18:25Would you like
18:26to test your character,
18:28personality
18:28and nature?
18:30Is there a machine
18:31that can handle
18:31all of that?
18:32Not been invented yet.
18:34Would you like
18:34your palm read
18:35or would you like
18:37your love tested?
18:38Oh,
18:39my love tested.
18:40Here we go.
18:43Love that.
18:44So...
18:45What'll it be?
18:48Poor fish.
18:49Poor fish.
18:50Oh, dear.
18:51David's turn.
18:52Are you ready?
18:53Yes.
18:53Come on.
18:54Come on.
18:56Rich and famous.
18:58Lordy.
18:59That won't be
19:00forgotten in a hurry.
19:01Although,
19:02they really do
19:02need to press on
19:04and perhaps find
19:05something other
19:05than a fairground
19:06attraction.
19:08Very nice.
19:10Oh, I do like that.
19:11It's the Bully Beef
19:12Tin Can Opener.
19:14The famous
19:15Bully Beef,
19:16in fact.
19:17They made millions
19:18of these.
19:19But what's fascinating
19:20about the Tin Can
19:21Opener
19:22is that it was
19:23invented about
19:2440 years
19:25after the invention
19:26of the Tin Can.
19:27You really couldn't
19:28make it up,
19:29could you?
19:29So the Tin Can
19:30was invented
19:30in the early part
19:31of the 19th century
19:32and the can
19:33was designed
19:33to transport,
19:34of course,
19:35food around the world,
19:37but also gunpowder
19:38and, crucially,
19:40seeds.
19:41It might take months
19:42to get there,
19:43but if you sealed them
19:44in a Tin Can,
19:46they were preserved
19:47perfectly.
19:48But somebody
19:49had not thought
19:50about inventing
19:52a Tin Can opener.
19:53Do you know
19:54that the manufacturers
19:55recommended that
19:56the best way
19:56to open a Tin Can
19:57was using a hammer
19:59and a chisel
20:00or a bayonet?
20:02So very practical.
20:05Works today
20:06as well
20:07as it did
20:08150 years ago.
20:10Priced at 24 quid,
20:11it's fine,
20:12but it's not going
20:13to make much more.
20:14So as much as I love him,
20:16he's not going to auction.
20:18No can do.
20:20How's his chum
20:21getting on?
20:22A lot of silver.
20:27Oh.
20:28This is interesting.
20:30Now, I've got £60 left,
20:31not a huge amount
20:32of money,
20:32so I'm looking
20:33for something
20:34small,
20:36safe,
20:36and affordable.
20:38Now, you look at this,
20:39you see so many of them
20:40in antique shops,
20:41not particularly fashionable.
20:43They're these silver
20:44little pin dishes,
20:45often pierced work,
20:48but I'm not sure
20:49if it's silver
20:49because it's saying
20:50£12 on the price tag,
20:52but it looks like silver.
20:53It's got the feel,
20:54the sheen.
20:55Ah,
20:56that's what you're
20:57looking for.
20:58Well spotted.
21:00£12,
21:00not too exciting,
21:02but you know what?
21:03I think that could sell
21:04for £30,
21:05£35 auction.
21:06That has to be
21:07an easy profit.
21:09Now, I'm looking
21:09for something
21:10to tie in with it.
21:12This ring
21:13is appealing to me.
21:15This is definitely
21:16Mark's seat.
21:16The smoky grey
21:18quartz-type stone
21:19was huge
21:20in the 1920s
21:22and 30s.
21:23Very, very
21:24art deco.
21:25And here
21:25is a tiny
21:27little mark.
21:28I tell you all,
21:28my eyes are being
21:29tested today,
21:30which looks like
21:31£925
21:32for American silver.
21:34Ticket price,
21:35£25.
21:37Do you know
21:37if I got that
21:38for, say,
21:38£12,
21:39£14
21:39along with this?
21:43That can be
21:43a bit of a no-brainer
21:44and leave me enough
21:45for the next shop.
21:46I'm going to go
21:47have a chat
21:48with the dealer
21:48and see what he thinks.
21:50Over to Stephen.
21:52Hello.
21:53Hi, Ruth.
21:53So, I found
21:55this little
21:56pin dish
21:56and the ring.
21:59Now, the pin dish
22:00is priced up
22:00at £12
22:01and then
22:02we've got
22:03this ring,
22:04American sterling
22:05silver,
22:06priced up
22:06at £25.
22:07I would love
22:08to buy the two
22:09and it comes
22:09to £37.
22:11Could it be
22:12£20 for the pair?
22:14Do you know what?
22:14Since you're so nice,
22:15let's go £20.
22:17You're an angel.
22:18Done deal.
22:19Well,
22:19that was all
22:20very amicable.
22:21Wish me luck
22:22at the auction.
22:22Good luck.
22:23Bye-bye.
22:24Leaving £40
22:24for her last shop.
22:27Fund's come out
22:28just in time.
22:29Which brings us
22:30back to David
22:31with £97
22:33still in hand.
22:35Oh,
22:35that is
22:36right up my street.
22:38Take a look
22:39at that.
22:39Feast your eyes.
22:40Wowza.
22:41So,
22:41we've got this
22:42bronze,
22:43coppered bowl
22:44with
22:46a very rough
22:47cut edge
22:48showing that
22:49it's all
22:49been done
22:50by hand.
22:51Made in
22:52the early
22:53part of
22:53the 20th
22:54century,
22:54I would guess,
22:55in North Africa.
22:57Can't quite
22:57work out
22:58what it was
22:58used for.
22:59But look
23:00at the
23:00handles.
23:01The handles
23:02are certainly
23:02not
23:03North African.
23:04They are
23:05antique handles
23:06put on the
23:07North African
23:08bowl
23:08made in the
23:09early part
23:10of the
23:1020th century.
23:11That's
23:12interesting,
23:13but it's
23:13not as
23:14interesting
23:15as the
23:15base.
23:17It's a
23:17puzzle base.
23:18Let me explain.
23:18I'll take the
23:19bowl off.
23:19That
23:20base is
23:20carved from
23:21one piece
23:22of wood.
23:23This is how
23:23it works.
23:24Watch this.
23:28That's why
23:28it's called
23:29a puzzle
23:30base.
23:31The skill
23:32in that
23:32is remarkable.
23:34Those
23:34dog's
23:34heads
23:34are
23:35absolutely
23:36exquisite.
23:38Made
23:39mahogany.
23:40£98.
23:41I want
23:42desperately
23:43to buy
23:43this.
23:44I think
23:45I might
23:45be naughty
23:46if I
23:46bought it,
23:47sell the
23:48bowl
23:48separately,
23:49and then
23:49the base
23:50for a
23:51glass-topped
23:52coffee table
23:53would be
23:54fantastic.
23:55Oh, he
23:56does love
23:56a coffee
23:57table.
23:58Time to
23:58talk to
23:58Justin.
23:59So, North
24:00African table
24:01base, that
24:01puzzle base,
24:02priced at
24:0398, I'm
24:04tight on
24:05money.
24:06What are
24:06you going to
24:07hit me with?
24:0850.
24:09You squeeze
24:10me to 60.
24:1160 will do
24:11fine.
24:12Thanks, Justin.
24:15Great to see
24:16you as ever.
24:16Cheers.
24:17Thanks a lot.
24:18Just in time,
24:19actually.
24:19£37 still in
24:21hand.
24:21Looks pleased,
24:22doesn't he?
24:23But it's time
24:24now to find
24:25out where
24:25Rue's got
24:26to in the
24:27county-down
24:28destination of
24:29Dromore, the
24:31town where
24:31ballet dancer
24:32Melissa Hamilton
24:33took her
24:34first steps.
24:36And the
24:37dainty
24:37tootsies of
24:38our expert
24:39are about to
24:40set foot in
24:40Rath House
24:41Antiques.
24:42Ooh!
24:43And they'll
24:44definitely know
24:45she's arrived.
24:47That's a
24:47welcome and
24:48a half.
24:52Just £40
24:53left to spend,
24:54remember?
25:00Ooh.
25:02This is a
25:03very nice
25:04tazza,
25:05which is the
25:06Italian name
25:07for a dish
25:07like this.
25:08Little stem,
25:10nice foot,
25:10and you put
25:11your bonbons,
25:12your sweets,
25:13your jellies in
25:13there.
25:14It's quite an
25:14elegant shape.
25:15And this
25:16could be
25:16uranium glass,
25:18really popular
25:19in the 19th
25:19century,
25:20made with
25:20uranium.
25:21So under
25:22UV light,
25:23it glows
25:24bright green.
25:25But obviously,
25:26as time went
25:26on, there
25:28wasn't as much
25:28uranium in
25:29these.
25:30Let me have
25:30a look.
25:30I think
25:30there's a
25:31torch here.
25:33Let's see.
25:35It's almost
25:36like magic,
25:36isn't it?
25:37Never fails
25:38to impress.
25:39It's quite
25:39mesmerising,
25:40and the thing
25:41is it's very
25:41collectible.
25:42No ticket,
25:43though.
25:44Let's see
25:44what she
25:45sounds like.
25:49That's a
25:49beautiful ring.
25:51It also says
25:52that there's
25:52no cracks.
25:53Hey, I'm
25:54starting to fall
25:54for this.
25:55Tenor would
25:56be amazing,
25:57but I'm
25:57not sure
25:58I'll be
25:58that lucky.
26:00Well,
26:00she could
26:01always consult
26:02shopkeeper
26:02Kevin,
26:03but meanwhile,
26:04back in
26:04Belfast,
26:05her road
26:05trip mucker
26:06has just
26:07arrived at
26:07his last
26:08shop.
26:12Oh.
26:13Sounds
26:13impressed.
26:15He has
26:15very little
26:16to boast
26:16about as
26:17far as
26:17the Harper
26:17wallet
26:18is concerned,
26:19however.
26:19Just
26:20£37
26:20remaining.
26:23Perfect
26:23for the
26:23mini.
26:25So,
26:25there needs
26:26to be
26:26a bit
26:27of seeking
26:28at Belfast
26:29Antiques
26:29and coins.
26:30Oh,
26:31coins.
26:33Coins,
26:33coins,
26:34coins.
26:35Of course,
26:35I mean,
26:35you can go
26:35back thousands
26:36of years,
26:37Roman,
26:37Greek coins.
26:38You can
26:38buy them
26:38for very
26:39little money,
26:40£10,
26:40£20 for
26:41a good
26:41one.
26:42Oh.
26:43Now,
26:43there is
26:43a worn-out
26:44coin,
26:45priced at
26:46£95.
26:47Oh,
26:47just help
26:48yourself,
26:48David.
26:49If you
26:49just move
26:50it around
26:50in the
26:51light,
26:51you can
26:51see the
26:52face of
26:52our
26:53most
26:53wonderful
26:54Queen
26:55Elizabeth
26:56I.
26:57And there
26:58she is.
26:58She just
26:58kind of
26:59reveals
26:59herself
27:00in
27:00profile.
27:01Turn
27:02the
27:02coin
27:02over.
27:03Let's
27:03get a
27:03date.
27:04So,
27:04there's
27:04the
27:04Tudor
27:05coat
27:05of
27:06arms
27:06and
27:06there
27:06is
27:07the
27:07date,
27:081562.
27:11And
27:11this
27:11is a
27:12sixpence
27:13made
27:14from
27:15silver.
27:16Struck
27:16quite
27:16early
27:17in
27:17her
27:1745-year
27:18reign.
27:19It's
27:19an
27:19amazing
27:20thing,
27:20£95.
27:21but in
27:22mint
27:23condition
27:23it would
27:24be worth
27:25£2,000.
27:28But that
27:28just puts
27:29a smile
27:29on my
27:30face.
27:30That is
27:30a lovely,
27:31lovely thing.
27:33He could
27:33just about
27:34afford
27:34half a
27:35sixpence.
27:36What about
27:37Ru in
27:37Dromor?
27:38She's
27:38only a
27:39few pounds
27:40better off
27:40and has
27:41already taken
27:42a fancy
27:43to this
27:43unpriced
27:44uranium
27:44glass
27:45tatsa.
27:46This
27:47is
27:48catching
27:48my eye.
27:51First
27:51of all,
27:52the shape.
27:52It is
27:53very
27:54Arabic.
27:55It reminds
27:56me of
27:56the minarets
27:57you get
27:57on top
27:57of the
27:57mosques.
27:59You get
27:59Arabian
28:00oud,
28:01pure
28:02flower
28:02musk
28:03and you
28:04would
28:05unscrew
28:05it.
28:07Let me
28:07have a
28:07look at
28:08the bottom.
28:10Oh,
28:10that's
28:10interesting.
28:11This
28:13is
28:13silver,
28:14solid
28:14silver,
28:15but it's
28:16golden
28:16colour.
28:17So this
28:17must be
28:18gold plate
28:19on silver
28:20and there's
28:21a tiny
28:21little
28:22A meaning
28:23it's
28:24Aspreys
28:25of London.
28:26That
28:26is
28:26decadent.
28:29Oh,
28:30that smells
28:31good.
28:31Sure
28:32to be
28:32pricey
28:33as well
28:33though.
28:34Kevin?
28:35Oh,
28:35Kerry.
28:36This
28:36is
28:36beautiful.
28:37Yes?
28:37Do you
28:38know
28:38anything
28:38about
28:38this?
28:39Because
28:39I have
28:40a feeling
28:41this
28:41is
28:41pretty
28:41special.
28:42Well,
28:43that
28:43was
28:43actually
28:44presented
28:44by the
28:45Sultan
28:46of
28:46Oman
28:46to
28:47his
28:47guests
28:47at
28:48one
28:48of
28:48his
28:48parties.
28:49So it
28:50was.
28:50So every
28:51one of
28:51his
28:51guests
28:51got
28:52a
28:52gold
28:52plate
28:52of
28:53silver
28:53Asprey
28:54scent
28:55bottle.
28:56No
28:56price on
28:56it.
28:57Is it
28:57price on
28:57application?
28:58£300
28:59would
28:59buy
28:59that.
29:00Do you
29:00know
29:00that's
29:01worth it?
29:02Phony
29:02I
29:02had
29:02bigger
29:02pockets.
29:04Only
29:04260
29:05short.
29:07Maybe
29:07something
29:08not
29:08so
29:08spenny.
29:10Well,
29:12to be
29:13fair,
29:13every
29:13antique
29:13dealer
29:14has
29:15a
29:16magnifying
29:16glass.
29:16We
29:17cannot
29:17survive
29:18in
29:18this
29:18business
29:19without
29:20one
29:20of
29:20these
29:21because
29:21you've
29:22got
29:22all
29:22these
29:22little
29:22hallmarks
29:23to
29:23look
29:23up.
29:24But
29:25I've
29:25never
29:25seen
29:25a set
29:26of

30:58busily
30:59trying
30:59to
30:59find
30:59the
31:00best
31:00possible
31:01use
31:01for
31:01his
31:02last
31:02£37.
31:05Sorry,
31:05Billy,
31:06you won't be
31:06getting rich
31:07just yet.
31:10Aye,
31:11aye.
31:11I hope
31:12the
31:13surprise
31:13ticket
31:13is
31:13correct.
31:16£35.
31:17Very
31:18realistically
31:19done.
31:20Grass
31:20snake,
31:20I think.
31:22So,
31:22non-venomous,
31:23so nothing
31:23to worry
31:23about.
31:25Hand
31:25painted,
31:26he's
31:26heavy,
31:27he's
31:27cold,
31:28he's
31:28bronze.
31:29All
31:30of which
31:30means
31:30literally
31:31painted
31:32on top
31:33of the
31:33cast
31:33bronze
31:34and
31:35then
31:35not
31:35finished.
31:36So,
31:36layers
31:37and layers
31:38of paint
31:39built up
31:40on top
31:40of bronze
31:42and I
31:42absolutely
31:44recognise
31:44this model
31:45by
31:46Bergman.
31:48A Viennese
31:49foundry
31:50which produced
31:51such items
31:52in the early
31:5220th century.
31:54But it's
31:54only £35
31:56which tells
31:57me there's
31:58a bit
31:58of a
31:58problem
31:59going on
32:00here
32:00and I'm
32:01going to
32:01search
32:02for
32:03the
32:04crucial
32:04bee,
32:05the
32:06mark
32:06of
32:07Bergman
32:07and it
32:08is not
32:08there.
32:09So,
32:10although I've
32:12got to
32:12tell you
32:13that not
32:13every
32:14single
32:14piece
32:15of
32:15Franz
32:16Bergman
32:16bronze
32:17was
32:17marked,
32:18so
32:19there is
32:20a chance
32:21that it
32:21is
32:22a
32:23Bergman.
32:25A slither
32:26of a
32:26chance.
32:27Bergman
32:28would be
32:29several
32:29hundreds
32:30of
32:31pounds.
32:32This
32:32one,
32:32even just
32:32looking a
32:33bit like
32:34a
32:34Bergman,
32:35has
32:35got to
32:35be worth
32:35substantially
32:36more than
32:3635
32:37quid.
32:37a
32:39feeling
32:40he's
32:40going
32:40to
32:41auction.
32:42Not a
32:42shadow
32:42of a
32:43doubt.
32:44Billy,
32:44what about
32:45a nice
32:45Northern
32:45Island
32:46snake?
32:46Look at
32:46that,
32:47isn't he
32:47gorgeous?
32:48The
32:48place is
32:48entirely
32:49free of
32:49real
32:50ones,
32:50of course.
32:51Good
32:51thing,
32:5235
32:52quid.
32:53Will
32:5430
32:54buy
32:54him?
32:56Yes.
32:56Yes?
32:57Fair enough.
32:58Billy,
32:58you're a
32:58top man.
32:59The
32:59snake
33:00is
33:01sold.
33:02I'll
33:03see you
33:03again.
33:03Yes?
33:04All right.
33:04Don't leave
33:05it too
33:05long.
33:05I won't.
33:06And with
33:07£7 left
33:09over,
33:09his buying's
33:10all done.
33:11I've got a
33:11very good
33:12feeling about
33:12this one.
33:13He's
33:14currently
33:14my favourite.
33:17So,
33:18the next
33:18auction is
33:19fast approaching
33:20and they'll
33:20have to hop on
33:21a ferry and
33:21say goodbye
33:22to Northern
33:23Ireland soon.
33:24But in the
33:25meanwhile,
33:25who's feeling
33:26peckish?
33:27Have you
33:28ever had a
33:28curry sandwich?
33:29I've never
33:30had a curry
33:30sandwich.
33:31Phenomenal.
33:32I imagine
33:32if you
33:33made a
33:33curry
33:33sandwich,
33:34it would
33:35be delicious.
33:36Sounds
33:37very nice.
33:38Then,
33:39shut-eye.
33:43Back to
33:44Bristol,
33:45which,
33:45just like
33:46Rome,
33:46is built
33:47on seven
33:48hills.
33:49After
33:49thoroughly
33:50exploring
33:50Ulster,
33:51whilst also
33:52doing an
33:52awful lot
33:53of shopping,
33:54they've once
33:54again travelled
33:55east towards
33:56the west
33:56country.
33:57At
33:57auctioneem
33:58in
33:58Hannam,
33:59selling on
33:59the net
34:00on the
34:00phone
34:00and in
34:00the room.
34:02With auctioneer
34:02Rob Dunnigan
34:03on the
34:04podium.
34:05Are we done
34:06now at 80
34:06then?
34:06Screen's gone
34:07quiet.
34:08Fair warning.
34:09Can you
34:10believe we
34:10were putting
34:10ourselves
34:11through this
34:11again?
34:12I know.
34:12Why do
34:13we do
34:13it?
34:14Good luck,
34:15my friend.
34:16All very
34:17harmonious
34:18at the
34:18moment.
34:19David spent
34:20£193 on
34:21six auction
34:22lots because
34:23he's selling
34:23his bowl
34:24and his
34:24stand
34:25separately.
34:26What does
34:26Rob reckon
34:27on?
34:27I really
34:28like the
34:28cold painted
34:29snake.
34:30It's in
34:30Franz Bergman
34:31style.
34:32And it
34:32should do
34:33well even
34:33though it's
34:33got no
34:34maker's
34:34marks to
34:35it.
34:35Rue
34:36parted with
34:36a bit
34:37less.
34:37180 for
34:39her five
34:39lots.
34:40I really
34:40like the
34:41Japanese
34:41vases just
34:42because they
34:42got good
34:43colourway,
34:43nice vibrant
34:44colour and a
34:45lot of interest
34:46as well so it
34:46should do quite
34:47well on the
34:48hammer today.
34:49Well there's
34:49certainly a mighty
34:50crowd in here
34:51which should
34:51encourage our
34:52sellers.
34:54I think you're
34:54going to perform
34:55a bit better
34:55this time.
34:56Do you know
34:57my worry with
34:57you David?
34:58You always buy
34:59one thing that
35:00just whoosh
35:01soars.
35:01You think so?
35:02Yes.
35:03I know you're
35:03confident.
35:04I love what I
35:05bought.
35:05You love what
35:05you bought?
35:06Let's see what
35:07happens.
35:08David gets us

35:11I paid a lot of
35:12money for this
35:12room.

35:27Fair warning
35:28if we're done.
35:30That's a big
35:30loss.
35:31Perhaps he's
35:32got the bad
35:33news out of
35:34the way then.
35:34Fingers crossed.
35:35Listen I've
35:36had worse.

37:41So I've got a
37:42North African
37:43puzzle table
37:44with a bowl
37:45but I'm selling
37:45them separately.
37:47This is a risky
37:47tactic which could
37:48really pay off.
37:50Commission interest
37:50allows me to go
37:51in at £10.
37:52Oh.
37:53I was going a bit
37:54excited now.
37:55£10 we have.

38:04Fair warning then.
38:05OK.
38:07It's not working so well
38:08at the moment.
38:09In it for the long
38:10haul eh?
38:11I've got faith in you
38:12David.
38:13I'm losing faith in
38:14myself.
38:14I know what you are
38:15capable of.
38:17Part two.
38:18Let's hope that
38:19does better.
38:20It needs to make
38:21quite a lot of money
38:21this doesn't it?
38:22Commission interest
38:23allows me to go
38:23straight in at £15.
38:25£15.
38:26£18 now.
38:26£20 we're up to.
38:27Top of their bids at

38:33£30.
38:34Screen's gone quiet.
38:36Fair warning.
38:38£22.
38:38That's terrible.
38:40At least it was
38:40better than the legs.
38:42That was a bad move
38:43on my behalf.
38:44A very bad move
38:45on my behalf.
38:47Rue's dressing table pot.
38:50Got a hole in the
38:51middle so that when a
38:51lady was combing her
38:52hair back in 1925
38:54all the loose hair
38:55would go inside.
38:56Oh, attractive.
38:57So, NT is bid.
38:58Thank you very much.
38:59Asking two now.

39:12Yes.
39:13She's quietly having
39:14a rewarding day.
39:15I can't resist a good
39:17chunk of quality.
39:18It's over.
39:18Time for David's
39:19wee knocker.
39:21His penultimate lot.
39:22I love this thing.
39:23It's got a lovely
39:24warm patination to it.
39:26It's very stylish.
39:28I like it.
39:29You should double
39:30your money on this.
39:32Any interest at
39:33£30?
39:33Very unusual piece,

40:00Leave my high five hanging.
40:03Mind you,
40:04his fortunes have taken
40:05a turn for the vetter.
40:07That was a really
40:07nice looking thing.
40:09Rue's silver trinket dish
40:10and silver ring is next.
40:12I bought these two

40:29Come on, one more.
40:31It's double bubble.
40:32Congratulations.
40:33Well done.
40:33Another shrewd move by Rue.
40:35She now has her nose in front.
40:38It's a safe buy.
40:38You need a safe buy
40:40every now and again.
40:41David's favourite now,
40:42the cold-painted grass snake,
40:44is his last chance to win.
40:46Hold on to your seat for this.
40:48Oh, David.
40:49Bergman bronze.
40:50This is in the style of.
40:52OK, but it could be.

41:17You've got a good eye.
41:18You've got a good couple of eyes.
41:20Snake eyes.
41:21Boom, boom.
41:23Rue's last lot.
41:24The auctioneer's a big fan.
41:26Victory hinges on this.
41:28Beautiful pair.
41:29Fantastic condition.
41:31I think you're guaranteed
41:32a big profit here.
41:33I hope so.
41:34Commission interest allows me
41:35to go straight in at £80.
41:37These are going to go, Rue.
41:38£110, £150, £170.
41:40Come on.
41:41Oh.
41:41I'm excited.
41:42£240, £260.
41:44Sorry.
41:45I get a bit soprano
41:46when I surprise myself.
41:48Come on.
41:48Are we now done at £280?
41:51Quick flurry of bids
41:52at £280.
41:53Fair warning.
41:55Love pigeons.
41:56Flew home to roost.
41:58A fabulous profit,
41:59which ensures Rue
42:01is our winner today.
42:02Sometimes you go
42:03with your gut instinct
42:03and sometimes it pays.
42:05You're a star.
42:06David started out
42:08with £200
42:08and after auction costs
42:10ended up
42:10with a small profit
42:11of £2.30p.
42:14While Rue
42:15took her initial £200
42:16and also after auction costs
42:18made a very fine profit
42:19of £170.84.
42:23So we are now
42:25honours even at one all
42:26and any accumulated profits
42:28at the end of the week
42:29will go to children in need.
42:32You're a rock star, girl.
