00:00Buying the wheel of a classic car, oh yes, and a girl to scar Britain for antiques, looking for some bargains, the aim to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat, there'll be worthy winners, yes, it is my lucky day, and valiant losers, I actually can't believe that, annoying, will it be the high road to glory, or the slow road to disaster, this is antiques road trip,
00:26yeah, greater Manchester, here we come, let's get edgy, it's our last big, let's get edgy, yeah, promises, promises, I think I need to get back to my indie mid-1990s, you're enough to get swag on, he's got plenty of that, well the thing is, this is our last chance, last chance, last chance to lose,
00:56It sure is partners, it's the final leg, with the debonair, Derbyshire Dandy, and auctioneer, Charles Hanson, that's a curtain on his shoulder by the way, and queen of sparkle, dealer, Rue Irving,
01:12what's the maddest thing you've ever done, I hula hoop for 10 hours solid, you're joking, what a feat of swivel, eh, our busy mates are roaring round, in the 1971 VW camper van,
01:27give me a yodel, give me a yodel, then you go, yodel, yodel, yodel, yodel, go, yodel, yodel, yodel, yodel, yodel, yodel, exactly,
01:37Exactly.
01:39Yodeling. Good skill to have.
01:42Last time, we were sharing secrets.
01:45I used to drink tomato juice in a silver goblet.
01:49Charles was a daredevil.
01:51Roo, why didn't we try to get backwards?
01:53And Roo had a good old squeeze.
01:56Sorrow or joy?
01:59Each day, both experts can spend up to a maximum of £400.
02:04Whoever wins the best of five auctions will be the overall champ.
02:09Look at me, happy?
02:11Yes.
02:12So far, Roo has notched up four auction wins.
02:16As we enter the finale, can Charles claim a victory?
02:20It's going to be a great day.
02:21I know.
02:22We're driving well.
02:23Are we driving well?
02:25I'm a bit... I'm a bit nervous.
02:28Wind-up merchant.
02:30This tour began in South Yorkshire, zipped around Lincolnshire and the West Midlands,
02:35with a final hurrah in North-West England, concluding with an auction showdown in Bristol.
02:41I think the great outdoors, the scenery, we are merely a blot travelling through the landscape of romance.
02:51The great philosopher speaks.
02:53With a rake of desire, we fulfilled our promise to profiteer, to make memories and moments which, like no other, experienced upon a frontier of history, and we made it.
03:04You are poetry in motion.
03:07But that he most certainly is.
03:11Our rioters pair have headed for Greater Manchester, shopping all the way to Atherton, and shopping is what this is all about.
03:18Let's begin with Roo in sunny Stockport.
03:22The vintage Emporium is housed in a large Edwardian cotton mill, with over 60 dealers cramming the place with delights.
03:30Let's see what Roo sniffs out.
03:32She has £400, remember?
03:34And she does love spending.
03:36Left, right, left, right.
03:39Ooh, look at those tiles. Those tiles are gorgeous. Art Nouveau.
03:51And the colours, that lovely green. These tiles are probably worth more than the washstand.
03:57They've got this natural crazing on them, which shows the age, so that's where the glaze cracks over time.
04:04And I just love that.
04:06So this is before, obviously, en-suite bathrooms.
04:10So you would actually have this in your bedroom.
04:13You'd have your ewer and basin on here, so basically to wash your hands and face in the morning.
04:18So this is a true antique, probably about 130 years old.
04:22And had these tiles not been here, I probably would have walked right by it.
04:28Price, please.
04:30Art Nouveau, mmm, £135.
04:33It's a lot of money to spend because I like the tiles.
04:36OK, I'm going to keep looking, I'll think about that, but that needs to be £60, £70, £80.
04:41Then I think I might buy it.
04:43While Roo Rootles, Charles is just a bit south.
04:49He's in Poynton in Cheshire.
04:51Nestled at the foothills of the Peak District National Park.
04:55And home to colour-field art and antiques.
04:59Let's get inside, Carlos.
05:02It's rather glorious in here, isn't it? So much to choose from.
05:06Hanson has 400 smackers.
05:09It's really exciting being in an antique shop where there's real history.
05:15And what's caught my eye is this platter.
05:19We see lots and lots of willow pattern plates.
05:23Of course, Josiah Spode willow pattern 1790s.
05:26Never have I seen this.
05:29It's a Staffordshire blue and white platter.
05:32And clearly it's something which is made to all as a marketing inscription.
05:37And that was their motto probably back in or around 1900, 1910.
05:43And what does the back reveal?
05:47It reads, with the compliments of A.J. Fonville and Company, East Street, New York, importers of various pottery.
05:59And this, of course, came from Cowbridge in Staffordshire.
06:02So I suspect this was made for the clients of this importer for gratitude of what they were acquiring off them.
06:12But the problem is, I want to buy it, but I can't because I think here it says NFS, which I think might sadly mean not for sale.
06:24If it was mine quite right, I'd want to keep it.
06:27Me too.
06:28Lovely thing.
06:29Keep searching.
06:31Now, what a room in Stockport.
06:42What's this?
06:43I like a good lantern.
06:44I haven't bought any yet, because often they're really expensive.
06:48But this would have been late Victorian, so late 1800s.
06:52That would probably be cast iron, really heavy, and it would obviously be outside, lit with candles, and they can sell for a lot of money.
07:02Yep.
07:03The first recorded public street lighting was with gas, and was demonstrated in Pall Mall in 1807.
07:09It's a perfect example where something beautiful, old Victorian, rustic, has been touched up and not been touched up well.
07:19Is that reflected in the price?
07:21OK.
07:22Good thing is, I see a sale sticker.
07:24The original price was 135, which means he may have had this quite a while, which is a good sign.
07:32Although it's in the sale, we can't see a price.
07:35£40, £50 for it to have a shot.
07:38Another definite maybe for Roo.
07:41Let's pop back to Poynton.
07:48On the shelf here, there's lots of old ale glasses, but what's quite peculiar is this item here.
07:57Whenever you see a domed foot like that, you think, great, could it be 18th century? And it is.
08:02This actually is what we would call a patch stand, and in period charm, this would date back to around George II.
08:11This would be around 1727 to around 1760.
08:15And patches were often made of black velvet, and you can imagine a lady of the day taking her patches, looking in a beveled mirror,
08:25and just thinking, do you know what, I could cover that there, and I could just look a bit more attractive to those fanciers in the 18th century.
08:34Initially to hide smallpox scars, the patch quickly went from cover-up to beauty essential.
08:42It became hot stuff with the 18th century fashion set.
08:45What's unusual is every other object is priced. This has no price on. It could be £50. It could be £200. I've got no idea. I'm going to find the dealer.
08:59Mmm. Dealer Ed, brace yourself.
09:02Ed, how are you doing? Charles, how are you doing? How's life? Good to see you. Fine, thank you.
09:07I think my favourite thing I've seen is that very small stand.
09:10It's just come in, and I don't think I've got a price on it yet. How much is it?
09:14Well, I've turned into account the nibble or the chip on the rim. Look at me. How much?
09:18I am, and it's going to be £175. When you say £175, is that the best price?
09:24The absolute. It's a yes for me. Thank you, Charles. I'll take it, you're a good man. Thank you very much.
09:29A piece of Georgian history for our Georgian dandy. Charles now has £225.
09:36I love this. I love it.
09:39And back to Rue.
09:45That is completely my style. Over the top.
09:50Definitely yesterday's old world glamour.
09:53And the style of this is very much Rococo revival.
09:57This is 200 years old.
10:00What I love about the Victorians, they knew that there was 500 years of amazing antiques and architecture and art before them.
10:08So they brought it back.
10:09A style without rules. Rococo was dripping with theatre and fussy ornamentation.
10:16And that's what I love about the world of antiques. It was almost like a reproduction, but 200 years ago. But I think as a three piece set, it's gorgeous. It's delectable. It's decadent. It's opulent. It's everything you want on your mantelpiece. But £180. Would it make me back my money auction?
10:34This was a labour of love. A work of art. And I want it desperately to come back into fashion. I'm going to try and single-handedly do that by hopefully buying it at the right price.
10:46We also have the Art Nouveau washstand at £135 and the Lake Victorian lantern with the unknown price. Stand by, Karen. Be brave.
10:56Hi, Karen. Hello, Ruth.
10:58Hello, Ruth.
10:59Now, can I say you've got an amazing emporium here. So I've narrowed it down to three items. Let's start with my favourite, the Rococo style clock garniture. I love it. It's priced up at £180. Could that be a solid £100?
11:14I was thinking £130. What about £120? £120, yeah. £120? Since it's you, yeah. Thank you. OK, £120 then.
11:22And the Art Nouveau washstand at £135? Could that be round about the sort of £60 mark? I think it'll have to be £70, round about £70. OK, £70.
11:33Before we decide, there's still the Lake Victorian lantern to consider. I couldn't see the whole price tag. It said sale and it was £135, but I don't know what it was reduced to.
11:43I think it's £75. Could it be £40? £50. £45? OK, yeah. £45. That all comes to £235. If I took all three, could it be £230? Go on, as soon as you're taking all three.
12:00Thank you so much. Done and dusted. Yeah, thank you, Karen. That bumper buy breaks down to £120 for the 19th century Rococo clock armature,
12:12£65 for the Art Nouveau washstand and £45 for the late Victorian lantern. Blimey! Mind how you go, girl.
12:21Rue now has £170 left. The washstand and the lantern will be sent on to auction.
12:29Meanwhile, Charles has skipped his way to Huddersfield in West Yorkshire.
12:35The town hall here has been linked with traditional music for over 130 years. It all started with a girl called Susan that would go on to be a songbird of the highest acclaim,
12:47later known as Mrs Sunderland and dubbed the Yorkshire Queen of Song.
12:53The solo soprano's name lives on in the widely regarded music festival, Mrs Sunderland.
13:00Charles has the special honour to chat with Mrs Sunderland's great-great-granddaughter, Wendy.
13:07Wendy, I'm Charles Hanson.
13:09Hello, Charles. Hello.
13:10Very, very good to meet you.
13:11It's a pleasure to meet you too, Charles.
13:13Just tell me about her.
13:15Her father was the head gardener of an estate locally.
13:21Yes.
13:22And the family were farmers.
13:23And it was unexpected, really, that somebody like her would suddenly develop this wonderful voice.
13:31From the age of 14, Susan made a name for herself as a singing sensation.
13:36Fame blossomed with the rapid extension of the rail network in the 19th century.
13:42Travel was so much easier, and opportunities came knocking.
13:46She was heard by Prince Albert, and he said to Queen Victoria, you know, you must hear this voice.
13:53This voice.
13:54This voice.
13:55Of your great-great-grandma.
13:56Yeah.
13:57So she was invited down to Buckingham Palace to give a performance.
14:01Oh, wow.
14:02She had to get all dressed up beautifully.
14:05Mrs Sunderland's rendition of the national anthem made Queen Victoria pronounce,
14:10I may be Queen of England, but you are the Queen of Song.
14:14She sang at the opening of the Crystal Palace.
14:18You know, there was a wonderful great exhibition.
14:21Of 1851, that's right.
14:22Exactly.
14:23Yes, she sang there.
14:25Mrs Sunderland was so adored that locals put together a concert for her golden wedding anniversary.
14:31She was offered the profits.
14:33She said, I don't want this money, I want it to begin a singing competition.
14:39Wow.
14:40In Huddersfield, and I'd like it to be called after my name.
14:43Wow.
14:44So this is how it all began.
14:46The Mrs Sunderland Festival commenced in 1889.
14:51Initially just for singers, it later expanded to include musicians and speech and drama too.
14:58Over 130 years later, this type of music festival is one of the biggest in the UK and is held in the highest regard.
15:07I'm very, very proud indeed. I just can't believe it sometimes.
15:12What she did.
15:13Yes. I just can't believe how wonderful it's become.
15:17Upstairs in the Velveteen Auditorium, Charles is meeting festival chairman Ray Brown to find out about the enduring success of our celebrated chanteurs.
15:28I think she must have been held in huge esteem.
15:31And bear in mind again that she retired aged 45, you know, at the height of our powers.
15:38And yet she'd made, you know, such an impact in such a relatively short time.
15:44So Ray, when the festival first began, was it a big thing?
15:48I understand the very first festival there were 37 performers in it.
15:53But over the years it's grown. I mean, in this last festival, the 134th, we've had over 4,000 performers over 11 days.
16:04And that nostalgia of Mrs Sunderland lives on.
16:07Indeed it does.
16:09Actually, Charles, how about we hear your dulcet tones?
16:13Ha! The stage and the Honley Ladies' Choir await.
16:17I saw the unlandly night alone.
16:35Yeah, don't milk it, Carlos.
16:37Wow! How do I follow that?
16:39I've always wanted, actually, to be non-auctioneer, but often a conductor.
16:43Charles, come and stand on here. I'm sure you'd be wonderful at it.
16:46Are you being serious?
16:47Yes, absolutely.
16:48Can I really?
16:49Yes, come and have a go.
16:50I'm taking your job.
16:51That's fine. I can go and sing with the sopranos. It's absolutely fine.
16:53Wow.
16:54Brace yourselves.
16:55Deep breath, Hanson.
17:04My soul doth magnify the Lord
17:09And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my saviour
17:15Mrs Sunderland's exceptional vocal talents made her a singing sensation in the world of music.
17:22Her passionate dedication for nurturing aspiring musicians lives on today in the beloved music festival that carries her name.
17:32Here's to another 134 years.
17:40Ah, thank you, ladies.
17:42And you, Charles.
17:43That was beautiful.
17:48Together again, our pals are back in the camper van.
17:52I've got a little fact for you now.
17:54Yep.
17:55You are simply red.
17:57Simply red.
17:58Oh dear.
17:59Nighty night.
18:01I'm almost literally in reflection and the fact that the final curtain, look, is almost drawing to a close.
18:23Oh, he's good.
18:24Do you know Charles, the week has absolutely flown and I think that's been down to you and your mighty fine company.
18:30Get out of here.
18:32Best friends forever.
18:34Yesterday, Rue was on a buying spree.
18:37She bought the Art Nouveau washstand, the Victorian lantern and the 19th century Rococo clock garniture.
18:44That is completely my style.
18:48Rue now has £170 left.
18:52Well, Charles was very restrained.
18:55He bought just one item, the pricey George II glass patch stand.
18:59Could it be 18th century?
19:01And it is.
19:02Charles has £225 remaining.
19:05If I was a league champion of anything, I would be a champion of the biggest ever treasure hunts find on our shorelines.
19:16Right.
19:17And it would be a collection of gold coins from the 17th century.
19:20It's good to have dreams.
19:22Yeah, I think that's definitely doable for you, Charles. If anyone can do, you can.
19:26I could be digging a long time.
19:27Well, you better roll up your sleeves then.
19:30Charles has been dropped off in Ramsbottom.
19:33We shall catch up with Rue later.
19:36Once a year, the World Black Pudding Throwing Championship is held here.
19:44You'd be great at that, Carlos.
19:46He's full of pep too.
19:48Look, let's make a memory in Memories Antiques.
19:52This is right up Charles's boulevard, with two floors absolutely chock-up with goodies.
19:57Let's see what he uncovers.
19:59The Carlos Wodge is £225.
20:03Let the delving begin.
20:05Now, what will he find?
20:07Oh, gosh.
20:08What's caught my eye steadily in this cabinet here are these pair of boots.
20:18Potentially, they were made from old shell cartridges.
20:21They perhaps were cut and designed by servicemen out in the war years.
20:28Perhaps these could be World War I.
20:31They're of a type we see particularly from the 14-18 war.
20:35And they are almost a pair.
20:37Unusual. Any price?
20:39And they're a tenner.
20:40And what I like about these, they have a nice patination.
20:43And I can tell their period, of course, on the reverse, you'll see heavily tarnished.
20:48It's just great to see, and to me reflects an originality.
20:53Those boots were made for walking.
20:56That's a definite maybe.
20:58And for £10, what history you can buy at a retail level, a definite mental note.
21:04Let's leave Charles to continue his shopping expedition.
21:08Now, where is Roo?
21:10I tell you what, I'm feeling the pressure now.
21:13Less chances to buy.
21:14Indeed.
21:18Roo is 15 miles away in the town of Falesworth.
21:22The antique gang's fashionista is venturing in here.
21:27Old mill antiques.
21:29Every nook and cranny is filled with potential antiques spoils.
21:33Roo has 170 smackers to spend.
21:38Oh.
21:39I think I can just about get on the ride, but I can thank my heels for that.
21:44See ya, bobo.
21:45Oh, Roo, it's the other way round.
21:48Okay, never mind.
21:50Tight screens.
21:51The thing is, I love a good mirror.
22:00Out of the whole world of antiques, the mirror is my favourite.
22:03The mirror is 8,000 years old.
22:07It was found in Anatolia, modern-day Turkey.
22:10But when the early mirrors were made 8,000 years ago, they were made of black polished volcanic stone.
22:15I mean, price-wise, I'm not even going to look at them.
22:18They're going to be four figures and worth it.
22:21While Roo continues her Roo-tall back to Charles in Ramsbottom.
22:34The thing on this top shelf here is this splendid object.
22:40It appears to be a long-bladed dirk, of course, used by a Highlander.
22:46The traditional and ceremonial weapon of the Highland warrior, the dirk is a long-bladed dagger.
22:53This one is a purely decorative brooch.
22:58What we have is basically Scottish hardstone agates set in from the top here that appears to be a citrine.
23:07And it goes all the way down to these different, very attractive, semi-precious agates and hardstones wrapped around this silver.
23:18I love this. It's only priced at £60.
23:21It's just sumptuous, it's beautiful, it's hardstone and definitely made of silver.
23:27What more do you want? It could be again.
23:30I'm doing well. It's feeling good.
23:32Glad to hear it, Carlos.
23:34Back to Roo in Falesworth.
23:37Done deal.
23:38Stuff of nightmares.
23:39How rude.
23:43Ooh.
23:45First thoughts on fashionable.
23:47This frilly glass, it's sort of very, sort of, 30s, 40s.
23:52Then I see the colour, the sort of Indian tea pink verging on aubergine.
23:59And the fact there's a pair. These have been well looked after.
24:02Now, do I like them? Do I want them?
24:06£55 for the pair.
24:08I think for hand-blown vases, that's not a bad price.
24:13I can feel a deal coming on.
24:15Yoo-hoo! Jack!
24:18I kind of find a bit of a guilty pleasure with these vases.
24:21You've got 55 on the pair. Could they be 30?
24:2730?
24:2830, 35?
24:2945.
24:30What about we meet in the middle at 40?
24:32And then I'll shake your hand and give you some more shelf space.
24:3540 bottles.
24:36Shelf space, it's priceless, isn't it?
24:39Thanks, Jack.
24:40Thanks a lot.
24:41See you soon.
24:42Thank you, see you soon.
24:43Bye.
24:44Roo now has £130.
24:46Right.
24:47Let's find cheeky Carlos.
24:49That's quite pretty, actually.
24:58It's an art nouveau comb.
24:59And what I like is, it's not just the early Bakelite.
25:03This would date to around 1910 with the silver sockets here.
25:07But look at the enthymion.
25:08These are heart-shaped motifs with the scroll terminals that scroll in where the heart forms.
25:16It's called the enthymion.
25:18And that's a typical neoclassical motif.
25:21Sure is.
25:22The enthymion was used in ancient Greek and Roman architecture.
25:27But the stones are very much representative of paste stone,
25:32which reflect the birth of the 20th century, the art nouveau, a new century.
25:37You've almost got the blue turquoise skies, the green organic colours.
25:43And that's just part of the art nouveau almost semi-precious stone set.
25:48It's a really pretty piece.
25:50I would say circa 1910.
25:52Nice.
25:53Any ticket price?
25:54And you know what?
25:55With the box, it could be yours for £14.
25:58What more do you want?
25:59Well, I suppose you want long hair to wear a good comb with.
26:03This is true.
26:04Ben, isn't it crazy?
26:05£14.
26:06Silver.
26:07Bakelite.
26:08Organic.
26:09Feeling quite confident.
26:10I'm feeling that there's a feast of objects here.
26:12Along with the World War I shell-case booties and the Scottish dirt brooch.
26:18All three come to £84.
26:21Let's go and talk about price.
26:23Standby, Gina.
26:24Here comes Carlos.
26:25Gina, how are you?
26:26Hello, Charles.
26:27I'm very well.
26:28I've been shopping.
26:29I have found three items.
26:31Okay.
26:32Could you do the whole lot for 60?
26:34But is there still a tidy profit for you?
26:37I'd do that for you.
26:38Would you really?
26:39I think that's quite fair, yeah.
26:40Thank you so much.
26:41Yes.
26:42I am so grateful indeed.
26:44Gina, you are very kind.
26:46That breaks down to £10 for the World War I shell-case booties, 36 for the Scottish
26:52Dirk brooch and 14 for the Art Nouveau hair comb.
26:57Carlos now has £165.
27:00I'm really pleased.
27:01I bought three amazing lots.
27:03Really buoyant.
27:04But my tummy is rumbling.
27:06I could do with something to eat.
27:07Good to know.
27:09Meanwhile, let's find a Rue.
27:12One more shop to go until the end of the road trip and then that's it.
27:16Auction time.
27:18Rue has made it to the town of Atherton.
27:21Once a centre of collieries and cotton mills.
27:25Today it's home to this lovely emporium, Atherton Antique and Collectibles Centre.
27:32There's a host of dealers selling their wares in here.
27:35It's rammed to the rafters, ready for Rue to pick out some goodies.
27:41The Sparkle Queen has £130 to splash.
27:48Now this takes me back.
27:50This takes me back to my childhood.
27:52What it is, you've got a Koran stand here, which in Arabic is called a tawala.
27:56It's a foldable lectern for religious books, but it's used a lot in Arabic and Muslim culture
28:02because, with the Koran, cleanliness is everything.
28:05You can't touch it with dirty hands, you can't put it on the floor, you can't put it on a bed or a chair.
28:11It has to be sacred and clean.
28:14I'm going to see what the tag says, because I would love to buy one.
28:17Late 19th or early 20th century.
28:20£175.
28:22The thing is, you can buy modern ones.
28:25£10.
28:26A lot smaller.
28:27They do the job.
28:29But this is a sculptural work of art.
28:32And it is worth every penny, because of the labour that's went into it.
28:36So it's not one for me to buy, but it's a nice one to take me back to my childhood.
28:41Onwards we go.
28:43Look who's here too.
28:45Charles has £165 about his person.
28:49Always very thorough.
28:53Maybe I could buy Nelson.
29:00Hansen, stand and deliver.
29:02Nelson is your hero.
29:04And for £5, with all faults, this treacle glazed jug,
29:08depicting Nelson, who died on the 21st of October, 1805.
29:13Nelson, are you worth more than a fiver?
29:16Shall I walk the plank?
29:17Look at me.
29:18No.
29:19He's shaking his head saying,
29:20Hansen, I'm not worth more than a fiver.
29:22So for that reason, Nelson, I shall leave you.
29:29Ru, where are you?
29:30Charles.
29:31Hi, Ru.
29:32Welcome to Rosita's Emporium, where I can tell your future.
29:38Are you being serious? Is that a real...?
29:39Enter, Charles, please. Be respectful.
29:42Oh, my goodness me.
29:43I would tell you fortune.
29:44Can you do that, really?
29:45Do you trust Rosita?
29:47Are you joking? Are you wanting me up?
29:50I can see things that you can't even imagine.
29:53Oh, golly. I feel a bit overwhelmed by this.
29:55You're joking, aren't you?
29:56Rosita.
29:57Crumbs.
29:59What can you see?
30:00I'm seeing a man.
30:01Yes?
30:02Very handsome man.
30:04Right.
30:05I can live with that.
30:06Very poor.
30:08Very poor.
30:09Empty pockets.
30:11And he has something on his face.
30:14Glasses?
30:15Trust in Rosita, my Charles.
30:18Go forth.
30:19OK, mystic Ru, let's get back on the shopping and moochy moo.
30:24I have to say, my eye has been drawn to this big blue and yellow sign. Classic.
30:30I think it's been trimmed to fit under an archway, which is a real shame.
30:34Condition-wise, not great.
30:36This is on some kind of wood.
30:38I can see it in a classic car garage or being bought by a lover of classic cars.
30:44That would be the ultimate sign to go up on their wall.
30:47Now, there's no price on it, so I don't know how much it is.
30:50Automobilia is always popular, and this could be a man cave collectible.
30:56But this has got an element of fun to it.
30:59It's colourful, it's bold, it's a wee bit rustic, like our little camper van.
31:04I don't know, I think if that was a good, fun price, that might be a nice, light-hearted
31:09last thing for me to take to our final auction to round off our classic road trip.
31:15Oh, Tom, Ru has £130.
31:18The classic sign, it's drawing me in because I think the colours are nice.
31:22It's very nice, isn't it?
31:24No price on this.
31:26That's on at £65, actually.
31:28Right.
31:29It's a wee bit rough and ready, but fun.
31:33Could it be sort of £35?
31:35No, it could be £45.
31:38Could you do £40 on that?
31:40Yeah, I'll do you £40.
31:41OK, well, in that case, the classic sign is sold.
31:43OK.
31:44Thank you very much.
31:45Any thanks, Tom.
31:47That's Ru all done and dusted.
31:49She now has £90 remaining.
31:51The sign will be sent on to the auction.
31:56Back inside, where's the hunting Carlos?
32:01Muscles of steel.
32:03That's quite attractive.
32:08I love that.
32:09This beautifully...
32:10It's just decorative.
32:11It's like a little press-moulded, maybe 1920s canoe.
32:16Hopefully, I wouldn't capsize with this.
32:18It's a planter, maybe for poses, for little flower heads.
32:22It's cut crystal.
32:23And I quite like that.
32:24I'm rowing hard for victory.
32:27And it's something which, for £6, why do I like it?
32:31The colour's quite nice.
32:33It's got this tinted yellow to it.
32:36I like the floret detail.
32:38Oh, what a shame.
32:39It's got a chip here, just on the end of my boat.
32:42It's been chipped just there.
32:44It's 1930s.
32:45It's decorative, novelty form, and I think captures those interwar years.
32:50And for £6, that could be the one that sets sail for the auction with me.
32:56The cash desk and Tom await.
32:58Tom, how are you?
32:59I'm all clear, thank you.
33:00Well, I think for £6, I'm going to set sail with it.
33:04OK, then.
33:05OK, land ahoy.
33:06Shake my hand.
33:07Sold.
33:08Thanks ever so much.
33:09You are very kind, Tom.
33:11Young Carlos now has £159.
33:14The shopping is now finito.
33:18Charles, that's it.
33:20The hard work's done now.
33:21The only thing we can do now is go to the final auction.
33:24I think we almost need, as we roll down these hills, a jig for joy,
33:28what you call a kaylee and I call a ball and dance.
33:32And we'll dance to our last auction like we've never danced before.
33:36Best get some shatai, eh?
33:43It's go time for the auction showdown.
33:46Rue has already won four.
33:48Can Charles Naber win to keep his pride?
33:52Rue, let's make a memory.
33:54No turning back.
33:55Aren't they giddy, eh?
33:56Let's get inside.
33:57Our pair, after nipping around Greater Manchester,
34:00have returned south-west to Bristol
34:03for the final of a best-of-five auction contest
34:06at East Bristol Auctions
34:09for sale in the room, on the phone and on the net.
34:14Gavel wielder extraordinaire is Andrew Stone.
34:18Fair warning now.
34:20Rue collected five lots for the sum of £310.
34:24Any faves, Andrew?
34:26The Victorian lantern is fantastic.
34:29It's functional, but it's also a bit of a design piece.
34:32So I'm hoping that this appeals to lots of bidders.
34:35Charles bought five lots for £241.
34:39Thoughts, please, Andrew?
34:41The patch stand is a really special item.
34:44The fact that that's survived in such a lovely condition is amazing.
34:47I hope that bidders will dig deep
34:49and raise a good price for it at the auction.
34:52Come on, you two.
34:53Charles, this is your final try for an auction win.
34:58How exciting is this?
34:59I know.
35:00This is a show.
35:01This is it, the last one.
35:02This is showtime.
35:04First up, the auctioneer's fave.
35:06Charles' George II glass patch stand.
35:09So this is my big spend.
35:12I just love this.
35:13Start me at 100 if you'd like.
35:14Come on.
35:15100 I'm bid on my screen.
35:17110 I have.
35:18You're in.
35:19Let's move.
35:20It's a great object.
35:21120 now at the back of the room.
35:23It's a lovely object.
35:24Back of the room.
35:25Come on, internet.
35:26Fair warning.
35:27Come on, the world.
35:28Going once in.
35:29Twice.
35:30Patch it up.
35:31Third call.
35:32I'm done.
35:33Does it matter?
35:34Goal.
35:35Yes.
35:36Plenty more to go.
35:37It could have made 300, it could have made 50,
35:38but I simply adored it.
35:39Rue next with the 19th century Rococo clock garniture.
35:43Beautiful way to.
35:44Gorgeous colour.
35:45Working order.
35:46Well, I've got commission interest on this one.
35:48I'm straight in at 60 and five on bid now.
35:51It's 65 pounds.
35:52Who wants 70?
35:53I've got 100.
35:54110.
35:55Come on, internet.
35:56Come on, internet.
35:57At 110 pounds.
35:59I'll count you down.
36:00Going once.
36:01Take a fiver.
36:02Goal.
36:03I'm off the road.
36:04Third and final call then at 110 pounds.
36:06Even.
36:07No.
36:08Not bad, Rue.
36:09Just a titchy loss.
36:11On we go.
36:13It's a shame.
36:14Unlucky, boss.
36:15Oh.
36:16Come on, Charles.
36:17Let's have a go at clinching an auction win.
36:20It's the Scottish Dirk brooch.
36:22I like this.
36:23I've got a sleeper.
36:24This might give you a rude awakening.
36:25Come on.
36:2630 on bid now.
36:27Come back five.
36:2835 is bid.
36:29Keep going.
36:30No, you've got it.
36:3140 we're bid.
36:32Keep going.
36:33It's creepy.
36:34At 40 pounds.
36:35Looking at Wastat.
36:36Going north.
36:37Come on.
36:38I really had high hopes for that.
36:40Me too.
36:41Don't worry, Charles.
36:42It wasn't a full on attack on the old prophet.
36:45My dirt fell out my sporum.
36:47Oh.
36:48Too much information there.
36:50Let's move on to Rue's Art Nouveau washstand.
36:53Other tiles like green and gaudier.
36:55This.
36:56Art Nouveau.
36:57Yes.
36:5810 pounds takes it if you like that.
36:59It is for nothing.
37:0010 pounds.
37:01Art Nouveau.
37:02Any takers for 10 pounds?
37:0410 I've got on my screen.
37:0512 we're up to.
37:06It's marble.
37:07It's Art Nouveau tile.
37:09It's 15 now in the room at 15.
37:11Who wants the 18 only?
37:13Selling in the room at 15.
37:15It is ridiculous.
37:16I know.
37:17It didn't even wash its face.
37:19What a bargain.
37:20That hurts.
37:21Charles, that got me right in the gut.
37:24Yeah.
37:25Next, Charles' Art Nouveau hair comb.
37:27It's really nice.
37:2914 pounds.
37:3020 I've got on my screen.
37:3222 I'm up to.
37:3325 I have.
37:34It's got a hint of the Art Nouveau.
37:35It's with you online now at 25 pounds.
37:38With fair warning now.
37:39Going once.
37:40Twice.
37:41Would you wear that?
37:42Oh yes.
37:43Third call.
37:44Fair warning.
37:45That's almost doubled up.
37:46Not quite a million hair.
37:48But a profit.
37:49Hair and square.
37:50You're in the lead now, Charles.
37:52Profit?
37:53Exactly.
37:54Give me a high five.
37:55I'm happy.
37:56It's the name of the game.
37:57Yes.
37:58Can we illuminate the room with the auctioneer's other fave?
38:02Rue's late Victorian lantern.
38:05This is the one.
38:06No, it's not.
38:07This is the one.
38:08No, you're giving me false hope.
38:09Commission interest.
38:10I've got 45.
38:11I'm bid at 45.
38:12Get in.
38:1355 I have here at 55.
38:1560 is now on the screen at 60 pounds.
38:17All intact.
38:18Real weight to it.
38:19You've done it.
38:20On the line.
38:21On the screen now at 60 pounds then.
38:23Don't lose it folks.
38:24Fair warning.
38:25Middle profits.
38:27What?
38:28A result.
38:29Another one lights the dust.
38:32Well done boss.
38:34Small profits.
38:35Always good.
38:36Let's kick into auction with Charles' World War One shell case booties.
38:41Are we all done?
38:42Boots.
38:43Bits.
38:44Boots.
38:45Start me at 10 and away now.
38:46Come on.
38:4710 is bid now in the room.
38:49At 10, 12, 15.
38:5015 is bid in the room at 15.
38:51Keep going.
38:52Looking for 18 internet.
38:5318, 20.
38:54No.
38:55Are we all done at 18 pounds?
38:57It's with you.
38:58On the line.
38:59They're very regal.
39:00They're very majestic.
39:01You made money.
39:03Indeed he did.
39:04Boot if all result.
39:06Carlos.
39:07Money can be soulless.
39:09But those boots had soul.
39:11Calm down Charles.
39:12What a lovely pair these are.
39:14Rue's hand-blown vases next.
39:16I was drawn in by this lovely tea pink colour.
39:2140 I'm bid now on my screen.
39:2345 I have.
39:24Looking for 50.
39:25Amazing.
39:26There's profits.
39:27At 45 pounds then I will sell.
39:30I love the fact that they're not identical.
39:32The colours.
39:33They're frivolous.
39:34Third and final call then.
39:35Come on.
39:36One more.
39:37Sold.
39:38Sold.
39:39Come on Rue.
39:40At least it's a profit.
39:41You're holding your breath until the hammer goes down.
39:44It's Charles' final opportunity to clinch an auction win.
39:48It's the glass canoe.
39:51It's deco and it's got this streaky yellow flame out it.
39:55You're in love.
39:56Can you take us for 10 pounds?
39:58Hello.
39:5910 is bid.
40:01I'll pay you later.
40:02Who wants 12 then?
40:03I'll pay you later.
40:04Are we all done?
40:05At 10 pounds.
40:06In the room.
40:07Come on.
40:08Fair warning then at 10 pounds.
40:11Hello.
40:12Goodbye.
40:13Can you believe it?
40:14We paddled our way to a small profit.
40:17C'est la vie.
40:18C'est la vie.
40:19C'est la vie.
40:20C'est la vie.
40:21C'est la vie.
40:22C'est la vie.
40:23Hey.
40:24That's my job.
40:25It's the final lot.
40:27Rue's very large decorative sign.
40:30And from our road trip, it's been a classic.
40:35I've got commissioned interest and I'm straight in at 22.
40:38How much was it?
40:3925.
40:4040.
40:41It's a big sign.
40:4225.
40:43Come on.
40:4430 I have.
40:45Come on internet.
40:4640 now another bid at 45.
40:48We want one more.
40:49We need one more.
40:50Who wants 45?
40:51Fair warning now.
40:52Oh.
40:53One more.
40:54You are, you are, you are, you are, you are a class act.
40:58What a charmer, eh?
40:59At least it wasn't a loss, Rue.
41:01For one last time, we say goodbye to theatre, drama and romance.
41:06Come on.
41:07And I'm going to steal your line.
41:09Let's get out of here.
41:10Let's get out of here.
41:11And you know what we have?
41:13It's made a memory.
41:14Actually, quite a few of them.
41:16Let's go and tot up the sun.
41:18Rue, after all costs, has a figure of 311 pounds and 40 pence.
41:24Charles, however, has finally pushed ahead with a figure of 333 pounds and 66 pence.
41:33Clinching his first auction win.
41:36But the overall winner, with four auctions out of five, goes to the triumphant Rue.
41:42Congratulations.
41:44And breathe.
41:45We're done.
41:46It's always that moment, isn't it, when it's over and we have to walk away.
41:51I know.
41:52Do you know, Charles, can I thank you?
41:54Because I've loved every second, regardless of profits or losses.
41:57Yeah, yeah.
41:58You have been a true winner in my eyes.
41:59Get out of here.
42:00I think for one last time, go on, I'll catch you if I can.
42:03This is my top speed.
42:04On your marks.
42:05Nope.
42:06I can't run in heels.
42:07I can't run in heels.
42:08I'll catch you for one last time.
42:09Wait for me.
42:10Toodaloo, happy road trippers.
42:12It's going to be just you and I on a trip of a lifetime.
42:16Charles, London calling.
42:18Hello, Miss Irvine.
42:19How are you getting on?
42:20It's been noisy.
42:21There's a honker.
42:27Chocker with history.
42:29This just screams Victorian Britain.
42:33We're talking something which goes back to 1667.
42:37Had a race.
42:38Oh, no.
42:39Oh, he's right behind me.
42:41And made some cash.
42:42At 110 pounds.
42:45Yes.
42:46Yes.
42:48Sorry.
42:49Bye-bye.
42:51We're going to miss you.
43:16Bye-bye.
43:21Bye-bye.
43:22Bye-bye.
43:23Bye-bye.
