00:00We've got two celebs for the price of one, haven't we?
00:01Oh dear.
00:02Because he's helping more of our best-loved celebrities...
00:05Hello!
00:06Hey!
00:06Hey!
00:07Tuck your shirt in.
00:09Yeah, well, I've been working.
00:10...turn their belongings into cold, hard cash.
00:13Come on!
00:14This is my grandma's old wireless.
00:17He visits their magnificent homes...
00:19It's not often you come to somebody who has a windmill.
00:22...seeking out collectibles...
00:24Yeah, this looks nice.
00:25What do you think of this?
00:26No!
00:27...keepsakes from their careers...
00:29Please don't drop them.
00:30Those are staying.
00:31I was just looking.
00:32...and stuff they no longer need...
00:34We have this fridge here.
00:35Yeah, okay.
00:36...to sell back at his auction house...
00:38Oh dear!
00:39Wow!
00:40This is like an Aladdin's cave for me.
00:43Well, it looks fantastic here.
00:44...turning their possessions...
00:465,100.
00:47I like it.
00:48...into piles of money.
00:51Boom!
00:59We've got stuff spanning all the way from the Boer War...
01:04...all the way to World War II.
01:06A modern blanket box, panelled...
01:08This is the collectible piece right here.
01:11It's business as usual in the auction house.
01:14And out on the road, it's business as usual for Angus.
01:18Oh my word, look at that as a view.
01:20And he's got reason to be happy.
01:23He's off to see...
01:25...unapologetic style guru, Susanna Constantine.
01:29Much loved presenter, best-selling author...
01:32...and wants a samba star in sequins on Strictly.
01:36For two decades, she helped Britain dress better...
01:40...alongside Trini Woodle on TV shows like What Not To Wear...
01:45...becoming a household name famous for empowering fashion advice.
01:50I think Angus is going to join my teddy bear collection...
01:56...because I'm a fan.
01:59Blimey, Angus.
02:01Be afraid.
02:02Be very afraid.
02:04He's meeting Susanna at her modest family home in West Sussex.
02:10Actually, he's not that modest.
02:13Dogs! In here!
02:15Along with the hounds, she lives here with her husband, Sten...
02:19...and three children.
02:20This house is very much the sixth member of our family.
02:24It was built in 1860.
02:26What drew us to it mainly was the incredible view...
02:30...which is 30 miles directly to the South Downs.
02:34It's kind of, I guess, shabby chic, you would call it.
02:37Most of the stuff we have is antique.
02:40Wherever I go, I try and find an antique fair or a flea market...
02:44...where I can go and route all through and see what little things I can find.
02:49Susanna clearly excels at buying, but she's not been much of a seller...
02:55...until now.
02:56I wanted Angus to come down because we have so much stuff.
03:01I'll be happy to see some things go to a good home.
03:05I've never auctioned anything before, so Angus is the perfect person...
03:11...to hold my hand through the experience.
03:15The money, some of it is going to go to charity.
03:19Some of it's going to go into my bank account.
03:21I mean, let's be honest.
03:23That is a proper house.
03:30Susanna! Hi! How are you doing?
03:32How are you doing?
03:33Well done, come in.
03:34Oh, thank you. Thanks.
03:35Yeah, come on in, teddy bear.
03:37Susanna, I'm in love.
03:39I know, but look at this, what, with me or the house?
03:41Well, both, obviously.
03:42How long have you lived here?
03:43We've lived here for nearly 20 years now.
03:46And we moved out of London when our son was eight.
03:49I hate London now.
03:53You're not from Yorkshire, are you?
03:55Well, my father is.
03:56Oh, see, I knew it!
03:58But I just, I hate crowds.
04:01I can't bear it.
04:02I literally feel I need to go into a sheep dip when I get back from London.
04:07Clearly a passion for history and antiques, looking at it.
04:11Nothing in this house is newly bought.
04:14And what sort of things are we looking at today?
04:17Well, it's more smaller things.
04:19You know, this is a big house and it needs a lot of furniture.
04:22So I didn't want to get rid of any of that because it would leave a big hole.
04:26So I've kind of gone for smaller things.
04:28I've gone for things that are kind of relevant to my past career working in fashion.
04:35I'm a bit loathed to get rid of this.
04:37But this is by a designer called Loren Scott.
04:41She was Mick Jagger's girlfriend for a long time.
04:43Right.
04:44And this is an iconic dress.
04:45It's called the Bombshell.
04:46I was going to say, it looks like the bombardier that the, you know, the army symbol that we have for the bombardier.
04:52You'd appreciate that.
04:53So this is a dress for you.
04:55Well, you know, it's not Friday night.
04:57Yeah.
04:58Is this one that you sort of bought or within your career were you, presumably you got given lots of things?
05:04Or were you?
05:05Do you know what, Angus?
05:06We never got, Trini and I never got given anything.
05:08Are you kidding me?
05:09But I did buy this for when we were filming What Not To Wear.
05:13So that's one.
05:14You'd look the bomb in that, wouldn't you?
05:16Well, I used to.
05:17Not anymore.
05:18Aww.
05:19And actually, vintage fashion has had a huge resurgence, hasn't it?
05:23Yeah, it really has.
05:24I mean, it is the thing at the moment, isn't it?
05:25Yeah.
05:26It's all about sustainability and recycling and responsible buying, which is so important.
05:32You know, it's probably sort of £50, maybe even more.
05:35Shall we take a look at what else is to go?
05:37Yeah, thank you.
05:38I'll do that one.
05:39Let's go.
05:43So we've got some more stuff here, Angus.
05:45Excellent.
05:46Okay, some little candle wall sconces.
05:48Probably just 19th century.
05:49Yeah.
05:50And, you know, polished up, that actually reflects the light.
05:53Yeah.
05:54So you put your candles in on the wall and it reflects the light back to some extent.
05:57So, yeah, nice.
05:58Sconces first appeared in medieval Europe.
06:02During their heyday in the 17th and 18th centuries, they helped grand homes save on their candle bills by bouncing the light from just a few around the whole room.
06:13Sell them as a pair together.
06:15As a pair, yeah.
06:16You know, 30 to 50, something like that.
06:18You can see why Susannah's not worried about her candle bills.
06:21She's got enough light in here.
06:23I mean, you've got a real eye, haven't you?
06:25Every piece in this house has a memory for me and that's what I love about it.
06:32It's wonderful.
06:33I'm so pleased.
06:34I'm so pleased.
06:35I'm so...
06:36I'm enjoying it, you know.
06:37I'm so chuffed.
06:38That really means a lot because you know, you know, so it means a lot.
06:43And then this, I know nothing about.
06:47It was given to us as a present and it sat in my bedside table drawer.
06:53An old pipe.
06:54So we'd class this as what we call Mearsham pipes.
06:57Mearsham is a soft white mineral mined mainly in Turkey that's been used to make pipes for 300 years.
07:06The mouthpieces out of amber, which is quite common for pipe mouthpieces.
07:10And people do collect them because they're works of art.
07:13Mearsham pipes were all...
07:14I mean, that's exquisite.
07:15The work in there, the detail is just amazing.
07:18They're always carved into characters, figures, sort of pictorial almost.
07:23And what date is it, do you think?
07:25Probably sort of mid-19th century.
07:27Not particularly old.
07:29Well...
07:30Very happy to get rid of that.
07:31Also, we've got a few bits to go.
07:33Yeah.
07:34Anywhere else?
07:35We've got the cellar, which is the whole footprint of the house, so...
07:39I can go rummage in your cellar.
07:40Knock yourself out and go and have a look.
07:47Oh, wow.
07:49Now that's the walking wardrobe.
07:51Hang on a minute.
07:52I found the gents' rail.
07:53This is more me.
07:55That's a nice jacket.
07:57Classic.
07:58Good tweed.
07:59Herringbone tweed.
08:02OK, I need to go to the gym a little bit more, but...
08:06Ashley, that's all right, is that?
08:08Good fit.
08:09Angus?
08:10Er, yes.
08:12What do you think?
08:13It actually looks really good on you.
08:16You've dressed a few people, haven't you?
08:17Yes.
08:18Jeremy Clarkson was probably the most tricky.
08:20He was like a toddler.
08:22No, no.
08:23No, I'm not wearing that.
08:24And he kept running out of shops.
08:26That must have been fun, though.
08:27You must have had great fun.
08:28So much fun.
08:29What do you think, you know?
08:30A few fashion tips.
08:31OK, well, just tuck your shirt in for a start properly.
08:33Yeah, well, I've been working.
08:34Yeah, it usually is.
08:36OK, you tuck in because you've just got a little bit going on here.
08:39Yeah, right.
08:40Which is fine and manly, nothing wrong with that at all.
08:42Well, it's, I've got, you know, a bit of middle-aged.
08:44But if you go like that.
08:45Yeah.
08:46Just pull it out a little bit.
08:48Yeah.
08:49And then that disguises the tum.
08:50That's your only area that you, so if you wore, like, a navy shirt.
08:56So you want to wear darker collars on top than on the bottom.
09:00Oh, because I always do it the other way around.
09:01Yeah, no, you need darker collars on top.
09:03But the beard is great.
09:04Do you like the beard?
09:05Love the beard.
09:06I've had it for some time.
09:07When I came out in the army, I just stopped shaving.
09:09Yeah, it's so cool.
09:10You look great.
09:12I mean, it's amazing in here, isn't it?
09:14This is my legacy.
09:15A seller full of clothes.
09:16Yeah.
09:17I'm never going to sell them, ever.
09:18No.
09:19So, hands off.
09:21OK.
09:23I'll see you in a bit.
09:24OK.
09:25For the next hour, Angus manages to get Susanna to relinquish more things.
09:30Great back-up.
09:31Sold a lot of LB over the years.
09:33Including a late 20th century Louis Vuitton garment bag.
09:38Now, this is a first edition.
09:40It's called an Icopod.
09:42Icopod is a Swiss watch company co-founded in 1994 by one of the world's most renowned designers,
09:49Mark Newson.
09:51He's worked with Apple, Ferrari, Swarovski and Nike to name just a few.
09:56It's pretty unique and I know there were very few of them made.
10:01OK.
10:02We're doing well.
10:03This is good.
10:04Lovely.
10:05I recognise that design.
10:06George Jensen.
10:07Mm-hmm.
10:08Yeah.
10:09OK.
10:10I love Jensen jewellery, you know, and Danish jewellery, full stop.
10:13Yeah.
10:14My father-in-law was Danish.
10:16OK.
10:17So, hence.
10:18Hence the connection.
10:19Hence the connection.
10:20George Jensen's design house was opened in 1904.
10:23really well known for those sort of art nouveau styles and shapes, very naturalistic, using
10:28a lot of things of nature and become hugely collectible.
10:32There's a George Jensen silver bracelet and a necklace, which will be sold as two separate
10:38luxurious lots.
10:40I thought they'd be an easy win for you.
10:43Do you know what I mean?
10:45You're making my job very easy.
10:50Do I hear the dainty footsteps of an Angus?
10:54Look at this.
10:55I know.
10:56Isn't it amazing?
10:57Oh.
10:58So, are you all done?
10:59I'm done.
11:00Packed up and, yeah, I'll hit the road, back to Yorkshire.
11:03It'd be quite nerve-wracking, watching it.
11:05Yeah.
11:06I mean, it's things like, why if something doesn't sell?
11:08It's all good stuff.
11:09Yeah.
11:10You've got quality stuff.
11:11Quality always sells.
11:12We'll see you on sale day.
11:13All right, my darling.
11:14I look forward to it.
11:15All right, thank you.
11:16Thank you so much.
11:17Give me a hug.
11:18Okay.
11:19Wonderful.
11:20All right.
11:21We'll see you up then.
11:22All right, drive safely.
11:23Bye.
11:24Bye.
11:25I have absolutely loved today.
11:27The auction is so exciting.
11:30I was so chuffed that Angus loved this house so much, because you don't hear that often.
11:36And I knew he meant it.
11:38It's going to tot up.
11:39There's some high-value goods there.
11:41I'll try and take her tips on board about my fashion and see if we can impress her at the auction.
11:46Good idea, Angus.
11:48You wouldn't want a dressing down from Susanna.
11:53What on the back here is fully hallmarked.
12:08All of Susanna's things are back at the auction house, and the team have made a start on cataloguing them all in time for auction.
12:16Are you all right, Jeremy?
12:17I'm well, thanks.
12:18How are you?
12:19I'm good, thank you.
12:20Yeah.
12:21Really nice, aren't they?
12:22Yeah, little Japanese netskis.
12:23When you were wearing your kimono, you would have the loops that would go through, and these form like a toggle.
12:29Because kimonos didn't have pockets back in 17th century Japan, people used these little clasps called netsuki to attach pouches to them.
12:39You can see the toggle, you know, with the cord holes there.
12:42Yeah.
12:43Carved them out of all sorts of material, local woods, antler, and that sort of thing.
12:47They went from being quite plain to really dexterous pieces.
12:50A lot of it related to Japanese mythology.
12:52I mean, this one's well known.
12:54The sea dragon queen was ill, and needed a monkey's liver.
12:58Oh, right, right.
12:59So the king sent forth his little clam slash jellyfish.
13:04He got the monkey, but then the monkey realized he was being tricked, and there's a whole story.
13:09This ancient Japanese fairy tale dates back to at least the 12th century.
13:14These netsukis aren't quite that old, but could be the lot to watch on sale day.
13:20These are mid 20th century.
13:22Yes.
13:23I mean, they are works of art, aren't they really?
13:25Yeah.
13:26Beautiful.
13:27One to two hundred of the pair, I think.
13:28Hopefully they'll do all right on the day.
13:29Yeah.
13:34Hi.
13:35How are you doing?
13:36You all right?
13:37Oh.
13:38Good trip up.
13:39Yes.
13:40So lovely to be here.
13:41First thing I saw was this kind of glaring white.
13:46Didn't we talk about a blue shirt?
13:49Yeah, but I don't think a navy shirt would have gone with this.
13:52No, it wouldn't.
13:53No?
13:54You look really smart.
13:55Yeah, you look a little bit country, a little bit farmer, a little bit corporate, elegant.
14:00Oh, you look fab.
14:01Yeah.
14:02Oh, thank you.
14:03But that's not what it's about today, is it?
14:04This is...
14:05We're in your domain now.
14:06Yes.
14:07I'm nervous that no one's going to want anything, and I'm going to take that personally,
14:10because it's got lots of memories.
14:11Yeah.
14:12I think we'll be all right.
14:13Lots of people online, lots of people here, so we'll see how we get on.
14:16Come on.
14:17Let's go.
14:18Come on.
14:19Come on.
14:20There are my little netskis.
14:26Susanna has 11 lots up for grabs in today's auction.
14:30And then this, the Ike Pod watch.
14:34It's got to be a collector's piece, surely.
14:37Susanna's got some interesting bits in.
14:39Obviously, the fashion items, how well will they do?
14:42Hopefully, there's some fashion gurus out here.
14:44Here's my dress.
14:45The Loren Scott.
14:47You can't get anything like this anymore, and I think I wore it on Oprah Winfrey's show.
14:53Yes, I did, and she loved it.
14:56But she wouldn't have looked as good as me.
14:58Of course not, Susanna.
15:01Now, grab a front row seat.
15:04Forget the catwalks of Milan.
15:06Today's runway is the rostrum.
15:08With our two Charlottes styling it out, ready for a flurry of online bidders,
15:14all we need is the man in...
15:16Oh, not in tweed.
15:19I've been designed by Susanna for today's auction.
15:23Apparently, navy blue's the shirt I should be wearing.
15:26A little bit untucked at the front, you said.
15:28A little bit untucked at the front.
15:29We all know why.
15:30Just a high middle-aged spread.
15:31Yeah.
15:32Other than that, pretty good.
15:33Good.
15:34Yeah?
15:35OK.
15:36What do you reckon, everyone?
15:37Yeah?
15:38Right.
15:40Oh, my God.
15:41Well done, Angus.
15:43Anyway, enough about me.
15:44Right, we go on to this wonderful collection.
15:46First on the runway, Susanna's limited-edition IcaPod watch.
15:51Did anybody famous give you this, or...?
15:54Yes, they did.
15:55Oh, right, but we can't say.
15:57Very mysterious.
15:59We open at £340.
16:00£340, £360, £380.
16:02At £380, it's a nice watch, is this?
16:04At £380, it is then at £380.
16:06At £380...
16:07Tick, tick, boom.
16:10That's good.
16:11That's good.
16:12Yeah.
16:13Next, Susanna and Oprah's favourite dress.
16:17OK, so this is the Loren Scott 2013 Bombshell.
16:23Isn't that something?
16:25Height of fashion, this.
16:26£50, start me.
16:2750, a bit at £50, it is then at £50.
16:29£5, £60, £60, £65, £70.
16:31It's all online today, isn't it?
16:33It's not really what you'd wear on the North Yorkshire Moors, but...
16:35That's £75, £80.
16:36I don't know.
16:37£80, it is then at £80, it is then at £80.
16:39And £80, £85, £95, £100.
16:41It's at £100 a bit, then at £100.
16:43We all that at £100 are going to sell.
16:45At £100.
16:47Another sale's sewn up.
16:49Nice.
16:51Oh, these are a little bit different, aren't they?
16:53The little wall candle sconces.
16:54There we go.
16:55You'll need these when we run out of power this winter.
16:57It's going to happen.
16:58We've got £20 opening bid at £20, but they're worth more than that.
17:00Double candles they are.
17:01£20, £22, £25, £28, £28 a bid.
17:03At £28 it is then at £28.
17:05Somebody round it up to £30.
17:06We'll throw in a candle if it helps.
17:08At £28 it is then I'm going to sell at...
17:10£30.
17:12Oh.
17:13£30 at £30.
17:14£32.
17:15£32 it is then at £52.
17:17To be ensconced in a new home in London.
17:21Good.
17:22I was joking about the candle.
17:24Typical Yorkshireman.
17:26Ooh, hello.
17:28Hello.
17:29We're on to the good stuff now.
17:30Really, really nice this.
17:32So this is the George Jensen tulip pattern bracelet there.
17:36We've got loads of bids on this.
17:37£320.

18:58These are lovely.
18:59Real quality pieces of these.
19:01There we go.
19:02You're sad to see these go aren't you?
19:04Yep.
19:05Anyway, while I've been talking we're up to £100.

19:35At £250 it is then.
19:37For the magic mushroom and the monkey on a clamshell.
19:40At £250.
19:42These aren't just big in Japan.
19:46They're off to London too.
19:51And that comes to the end of the Susanna Constantine collection.
19:55I'm trying to do the math in my head but I can't.
19:59Every one of Susanna's luxurious lots is sold.
20:03But just how much cash has she racked up?
20:06Hello.
20:07Hello.
20:08You all right?
20:09Yeah, I'm good.
20:10I'm sort of slightly in shock.
20:11Oh, was it that bad?
20:12No, it wasn't.
20:13It's just like, it's so nerve-wracking.
20:15And it's so impressive watching you do that.
20:18It's like watching the Grand National, you know.
20:20It's like coming in, you know, in second place and third place and fourth place.
20:23That's what it's like.
20:25It's like watching the Grand National.
20:26I do a bit of horse racing commentary on the weekend.
20:28Of course you do.
20:29No, I'm joking.
20:30Well, you should.
20:31You should.
20:32Well, I suppose I ought to tell you how much money you'd be taking home.
20:36Oh, yes.
20:37How much?
20:38£2,528.
20:39What?
20:40Yeah.
20:41That's amazing.
20:42I'm really surprised by that.
20:43Wow.
20:44There we go.
20:45Good trip to Yorkshire.
20:46I am stunned.
20:47Good.
20:48Genuinely.
20:49Good.
20:50Oh, great.
20:51It's been an absolute pleasure.
20:52Thank you so much, Angus.
20:53All the best.
20:54My blue-shirted friend.
20:55You take care.
20:57Oh, I feel I can breathe now.
20:59I mean, what a result.
21:00And a bit of that's going to go to a really good charity, the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
21:05And then the rest of it's going to the Susanna Constantine charity.
21:09Absolutely delighted.
21:11Susanna, lovely.
21:12You know, a bit of a bidding frenzy on the Netskis.
21:15They did really well.
21:16She was very surprised with the money raised.
21:18And I'm now Mr. Stylish, apparently.
21:21She said I'd look good, so I'll take it.
21:29Right, Ewan.
21:30Long drive ahead of us.
21:32Uh-huh.
21:33London.
21:34It's going to be interesting in the Luton.
21:37Angus's latest adventure means a whopping 250-mile trip to West London.
21:44Not just London.
21:46Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea.
21:48Um.
21:49Okay.
21:50It's fine until you sort of have to break into London in a vehicle, isn't it?
21:54And then there's a lane.
21:55Particularly a vehicle of this size.
21:56Yeah.
21:57Changing speeds.
21:58This lane, that, like, oh, it's...
22:00Well, that sounds like an awful lot of stress for you.
22:02Yes.
22:03I'm going to put my headphones on, I think.
22:04Oh, cheers, Ewan.
22:05Thanks, yeah.
22:06Bit rude, Ewan.
22:07I hope you don't behave badly for the client you're going to see today.
22:12We're going to go see Leslie Ash.
22:27Having made her screen debut in a washing-up liquid advert aged just four, Leslie worked
22:33as a model before shooting to fame in the 1979 cult movie Quadrophenia.
22:40She became a 90s icon as Debs in Men Behaving Badly and has starred in numerous hit TV shows.
22:48For 36 years, she's been married to Leeds United legend, Lee Chapman.
22:54We were the original Posh and Becks, I'd just like to put that forward.
22:59Leslie and Lee live in this luxurious, split-level Riverside penthouse.
23:05We've been here 21 years, so last year we decided we were going to do a refurb.
23:11We put everything in boxes.
23:13And then when it was all done, I thought, I don't want to clutter it all up again.
23:20A lot of the things that Angus is taking to auction for me
23:24are things that I've lived with all my life.
23:27I feel a bit like that, apprehensive about it.
23:32But at the same time, I feel I've got to move on.
23:35Don't worry, Leslie.
23:36Mr Cool Calm and Collected is on his way.
23:39There's traffic. There's cars everywhere, Ewan.
23:41Yeah, sorry.
23:44Smile.
23:45I think we need, like, a flag that says, I'm from the north.
23:48Yeah.
23:51OK, well.
23:52We have arrived.
23:53Welcome to Chelsea.
23:56Whew.
23:57Well done, Angus.
24:01Top floor.
24:02Top floor, thank you.
24:07Hello.
24:08Hello.
24:09Nice to see you. Come here.
24:11Brought Ewan with me.
24:12Hello, Ewan.
24:13Hi, nice to meet you.
24:14Wow.
24:15Quite the apartment.
24:16Well, yeah, very lucky.
24:17Fantastic views.
24:18You haven't always been down here, have you?
24:20No, I mean, during Lee's career as a footballer, we moved all over the place.
24:24Yorkshire.
24:25Yorkshire.
24:26Beautiful Yorkshire.
24:28Brilliant.
24:29So, what sort of items are we looking at today?
24:31Oh, got lots of different items.
24:33And also, if you see anything along the way, feel free.
24:36Yeah.
24:37OK.
24:38Well, Ewan, do you want to grab some boxes then?
24:39Yep.
24:40And then shall we have a look?
24:41Yep.
24:42OK, I've got something to show you.
24:43OK, wonderful.
24:44It's just over here.
24:46So, clock is number one.
24:48You know, I remember this as a child being on the mantelpiece.
24:51Yeah, a French mantel clock.
24:53Very pretty.
24:54Two port keys.
24:55You'd have to wind it up every eight days.
24:57But with an eight-day clock, the great thing was you'd just get in the routine.
25:00Every Sunday morning, you'd wind the clocks and then it would never run out.
25:03OK.
25:04It was keeping my son awake when he slept up here, so he sort of took the bell off and took the pendulum off.
25:11Let's see if it strikes.
25:13I've got a key here.
25:16See?
25:17It's nice.
25:18Nice, isn't it?
25:19Yeah.
25:20No wonder my son unscrewed it.
25:22It needs a little bit of TLC.
25:24Hopefully, we'll find a good home for it.
25:27Oh, these look funky.
25:28Oh, that.
25:29Men Behaving Badly, 1995.
25:32Do you remember that?
25:33I do.
25:34I do.
25:35I was probably old enough at the tail end of when it was on the BBC.
25:38So, somebody must have made this for you then?
25:40Well, yes, the producer of Men Behaving Badly.
25:43Yeah.
25:44She was a potter.
25:45Yeah.
25:46So, consequently, birthdays, Christmases, we always got something.
25:49So, that's obviously meant to be Martin and Neil and Caroline and myself.
25:53There's a plate as well.
25:55I mean, it was a hugely popular series, wasn't it?
25:59None of us thought that that would ever be as successful as it was.
26:05Yeah.
26:06But now it sort of like makes sense because it was the first sitcom, if you like, for young people.
26:12Yeah.
26:13Yeah.
26:14It was about these two very, very funny idiot guys that lived together and their long-suffering girlfriends.
26:20Yeah.
26:21I think I'll hang on to them for a bit longer.
26:24Yeah.
26:25I don't blame you, Lesley.
26:26Have a look at these.
26:27OK.
26:28These are two Parisian street lamps.
26:32Wow, they're massive.
26:33I know, they're enormous and they are so heavy.
26:35Not what I expected to be in your cupboard.
26:37No.
26:38I got these from a French site.
26:41We used to have a bar in Clapham and they hung in the bar for years and years and years.
26:47Wow.
26:48How long did you run a bar for?
26:49Well, funny enough, it used to be my parents' shop and me and I took over the lease and made it into a bar which was in 2000.
26:58OK.
26:59Yeah.
27:00So, we only just got rid of it, I suppose, a couple of years ago.
27:03So, you'd like those to go?
27:04I'd like those to go.
27:05OK.
27:06Great features are hugely popular.
27:09Massive marking.
27:10Are you happy, Lesley, for me to just rummage through?
27:13Yeah.
27:14Absolutely.
27:15Yeah.
27:16You go put your feet up.
27:17Happy rummaging.
27:22You know, I prefer rolling hills but it is quite an incredible view what you can see from up here, right on the banks of the Thames.
27:28And, you know, she showed me a few bits that she's got, so let's see what we can find and what we can do.
27:33And good job the lift works, because we're a long way up.
27:35A humidor.
27:36Mm-hmm.
27:37Humidors are containers for cigars.
27:38Yeah.
27:39In their earliest form they go back a long way into the 18th century.
27:40Yeah.
27:41Yeah.
27:42And it's all about the moisture, the humidity.
27:43So the ideal range is 65 to 75% humidity.
27:44Okay.
27:45For a cigar.
28:16Oh, okay, that's where it comes from.
28:17Yeah.
28:18I didn't know that.
28:19What sort of estimate do we reckon on this?
28:20It's a fairly modern-ish box.
28:22Yeah.
28:23So, you know, realistically, 30 to 60.
28:25I think she's happy for that to go.
28:27I've got three grandchildren.
28:29Whatever I make on the auction, I'll have a good day out.
28:32Yeah, I'm really looking forward to that.
28:35Wow.
28:36Look at those.
28:37Denim boots.
28:38They're quite cool, aren't they?
28:40Oh.
28:41Dolce & Gabbana.
28:42I've heard of them.
28:43Those are denim boots.
28:45Oh, my God, I used to live in them.
28:47Oh, they're fantastic.
28:49In 2004, I literally fell out of bed and broke my ribs.
28:53I was in hospital, and the infection went right into the spine.
28:5820% of my spinal column was damaged.
29:01So I had to learn to walk again, and I could never, ever wear high heels again.
29:06I lost my career.
29:08But do you know what?
29:09I'm very lucky.
29:10I've got my family, and that's the most important thing to me.
29:15Leslie's favourite boots will go in a lot with two other designer pairs.
29:21Gucci's.
29:22While these Gucci black leather pumps will be sold separately.
29:27Not your style, I don't think.
29:28Yeah, pure denim boots aren't really me, Angus.
29:31Well, you don't know until you've tried, Ewan.
29:34For the next hour, the lads scour Leslie's penthouse for more saleable treasures.
29:40Napoleon?
29:42Yeah, it's a Napoleonic series.
29:44Made sort of in the 60s, 70s.
29:47And they're all different French generals, marshals and that sort of thing.
29:50So this is a Marshall's baton.
29:52Oh, so it's not Napoleon?
29:53No, that's not Napoleon, no.
29:55That's one of his top-ranking officers.
29:58This period of history, Napoleonic, the peninsular wars,
30:02is still very collectible.
30:04This chap will go in a mixed lot with a Victorian glass inkwell,
30:08two stoneware jars and three continental plates.
30:12It's just the cupboard that keeps on giving.
30:14We've got a real mixture and it's solid silver.
30:16It's probably sort of about 50 to 100 pounds in Cornish there,
30:19so that's all right.
30:23Are they as heavy as they look?
30:24Well, I'm glad they're going in the lift.
30:26Probably run out of space and I'll have to run down nine flights of stairs.
30:30Oh, whoa, Ewan!
30:33Ah!
30:38Got a couple of lighters there, all right.
30:40Two classic lighters here, from different countries, but very similar,
30:47sort of 50s, 60s.
30:49First of all, the Dunhill lighter.
30:51Dunhill, found in the late 19th century, specialising in smoking accessories
30:55like lighters, pipes and that sort of thing.
30:58Then we've got this lighter, which is Colibri, founded in 1928.
31:03You can get really expensive ones that are made in gold.
31:06These are just plated, probably sell the two together,
31:0940 to 80, something like that, and a nice little lot.
31:13And with that, it's time for the five-hour trip back home to Yorkshire.
31:18Leslie, we're all done.
31:20Are you?
31:21Yeah, all loaded up.
31:22Are we feeling now things have gone?
31:24I feel a little bit more refreshed.
31:28Good, so looking forward to the sale.
31:29It's going to be lovely coming up, yeah.
31:31Guess what?
31:32No traffic lights, no multi-lanes, just one road.
31:35Occasionally there's a tractor.
31:36This is his way of saying he's nervous about the London roads on the way back.
31:40Oh, right, OK, yeah.
31:42It's been fun.
31:43It has.
31:44Nice to see you both.
31:45Brilliant.
31:46Thanks a lot.
31:47Take care.
31:48Drive carefully.
31:49Yeah.
31:50Well, it went really well today, I thought.
31:51Lovely meeting Angus and Ewan.
31:53Just nice to be educated.
31:56He definitely knows his stuff, doesn't he?
31:58We've got an interesting mix of items from lights to French mantle clock
32:02to coins to designer shoes.
32:04So, we'll do the best we can, get it back, get it catalogued,
32:07and see how we can do.
32:09It's not the biggest hole, but my word, there are ten quality lots.
32:14Angus' mission now is to make each one bring Leslie a windfall.
32:19So, it's not ten behaving sadly on auction day.
32:23Hi, Jack.
32:24Hi, there you go.
32:25Thanks for moving that.
32:26No worries.
32:27So, this is the Leslie Ash job down in Chelsea.
32:43Not a huge amount of stuff, so I think we'll start with the heaviest, shall we?
32:47Two glass balls.
32:48Two glass balls, yeah.
32:49They're actually prison street lamps.
32:52Once Leslie's goodies are all safely inside,
32:55the process of cataloguing them for the auction can begin.
33:00So, these have come from Leslie Ash.
33:02They're her husband, Lee Chapman's,
33:04and I believe it was his father's collection.
33:06He was a player as well, wasn't he?
33:07I think it was Roy Chapman.
33:08Roy Chapman.
33:09Smattering of dates from the 50s into the 70s.
33:12Right.
33:13In total, there are 25 football programmes,
33:17mostly for FA Cup finals.
33:20You've got some great names here, look, Manchester United.
33:23In 1957, they lost to Aston Villa,
33:26and Lee Chapman's father was playing for Villa at the time.
33:29Oh, right.
33:30But when we get to 1958, the team had to be completely and utterly rebuilt
33:35because they lost so many people in that terrible disaster.
33:39In February 1958, a plane carrying Manchester United's young team,
33:45the Busby Babes, crashed on take-off in Munich, Germany.
33:4923 people died, including eight players.
33:53It was one of football's darkest days.
33:56This is the programme for the FA Cup final, played just three months later.
34:01Most sort of neutral people wanted Manchester United to win,
34:05but unfortunately...
34:06They lost.
34:07You remember that name?
34:08Oh, is that Sir Bobby?
34:10Yes, it is Sir Bobby.
34:11It is Sir Bobby.
34:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:13Interesting collection.
34:14Value-wise...
34:15Possibly 30 to 50 around that price.
34:16Yeah, I think that's about right, yeah.
34:18Well, last time I went to a game, I watched Forrest get slaughtered by Manchester City,
34:22and I bought the programme on the way in, and I think it was 12 quid.
34:25Had I known they were going to get slaughtered six now, I wouldn't have bothered to buy it.
34:36I had to come back with some books.
34:38We've got a four-volume set of the Waverley novels, which is obviously Walter Scott,
34:42an absolute classic of British literature.
34:45And I've also got this set here of Kipling work printed in 1910.
34:49The thing that really caught my eye with all these books is this marbling.
34:53We've got this fantastic pattern of sort of pinks and blues and greens.
34:57Marble paper goes all the way back to at least the 10th century, originating from China.
35:03You apply a series of colours to a vat of water, and then you can create these fantastic swirling patterns.
35:09These Waverley novels date from 1877.
35:13At the time, marbling wasn't just for decoration.
35:17The unique swirls also helped prove if books were genuine.
35:21The two sets, which belonged to Leslie's grandfather, will go into a lot with four volumes of Shakespeare plays and sonnets.
35:31This marbling really does set it apart, so I'm hoping that this might appeal to a dealer or a collector.
35:37Wow.
35:49Here we go. Here's the clock.
35:53I think we're going to go to a good home.
35:55Morning.
35:56Oh, hello.
35:57How are we doing?
35:58Yeah, good, thanks.
35:59Good. Checking the time.
36:01Yeah, just checking the time.
36:03It seems strange seeing it in a different environment.
36:06And how are we feeling about the auction?
36:08I'm feeling really confident that they need to fly off the shelves.
36:11We will do our best.
36:12We'll see how we get on.
36:13I'll see you up on the rostrum, and see you soon.
36:15Good luck.
36:16Bye, thanks.
36:17Leslie has 10 lots up for grabs, so it's quality, not quantity today.
36:23Probably a star item of those two amazing globe lamps.
36:27Yeah, the team's been busy marketing the items and making sure the buyers are here for it,
36:32so I'm sure we'll get some good results.
36:34I think they look really lovely in someone's garden with it converted into little lamps.
36:39Some of these things I've not looked at for months, so they have to go.
36:44But, you know, someone else can love them, and I'm really excited to see Angus,
36:48to see the man in action.
36:51Yep.
36:52Fingers crossed he can raise you a tidy sum to splash on your grandkids.
36:56There's a room full of punters, whilst Millie and Jasper are poised to deal with hundreds more waiting to bid online.
37:04So, sit back, strap in, it's auction time!
37:09Is this on?
37:11Well, almost.
37:12Yeah, there we go.

42:17It's been a short, but let's hope very sweet sale for Leslie.
42:20How much has Angus made her?
42:22Hello.
42:23Hey.
42:24How are you doing?
42:25All right?
42:26Good.
42:27That was fun.
42:28Yeah.
42:29Well, you seemed happy, which is good.
42:30Well, you were making me feel happy because you were so full of coffee.
42:34The lamps did really well.
42:36Well, I think they deserve to, because I think they're the sort of thing, if you've got
42:39a job for them, they're brilliant and they're worth the money.
42:42Well, I suppose I ought to tell you how much money you've got to take home.
42:46Go on.
42:47I've never been good at maths.
42:48I can't count.
42:49Well, that's all right.
42:50We do that for you.
42:52You've got £1,027.
42:53Oh, my God.
42:54Really?
42:55Yeah.
42:56Oh, you're pleased with that then?
42:57Yeah.
42:58Very happy.
42:59My grandchildren are going to be taken out and spoiled.
43:02I do.
43:03Keep you on your toes.
43:04Yeah.
43:05Brilliant.
43:06Well, thank you so much and all the best.
43:07Oh, thanks, Angus.
43:08I was so surprised.
43:09So surprised how much everything made.
43:11I said to my grandchildren, whatever I got from the auction, we'd have a really good day
43:17out.
43:18So, yeah, I'm looking forward to that.
43:19I think Leslie actually really enjoyed herself.
43:22The lights, we thought they'd be the star of the show, and they were.
43:25Really pleased with the results overall, and I think she's very pleased, too.
