00:00Behind the wheel of a classic car, oh yeah, and a girl to scar Britain for antiques.
00:05Looking for some bargains?
00:06The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction.
00:09But it's no mean feat. There'll be worthy winners.
00:13Yes! It is my lucky day.
00:14And valiant losers.
00:16I actually can't believe that.
00:16It is ridiculous.
00:17Will it be the high road to glory?
00:19Yo, yo, yo.
00:20Or the slow road to disaster?
00:22AHHHHH!
00:24This is Antiques Road Trip.
00:29Yeah.
00:30Let's go, Lincolnshire.
00:36You may be smart.
00:38And what gear you in?
00:40I think I'm in a second.
00:41You in four.
00:42No, I'm not in four.
00:44Welcome to the Hanson School of Motoring.
00:47Foot down.
00:48Right, put your clutch down again.
00:51Now go.
00:52That's two.
00:54Thank you, Charlie.
00:55Mirror signal manoeuvre room.
00:57If I do that, it means it won't just stop, OK?
01:01Emergency stop, right.
01:02That's what it is.
01:02OK.
01:03But I haven't went from second into third yet.
01:05Do you think...
01:06Let's try third now.
01:07Put on the clutch.
01:08He's not your typical instructor.
01:11Ooh!
01:12Charles, have you got a sweat on yet?
01:13I've got a sweat on, yeah.
01:14I think I'm almost...
01:16I might just get to do it anyway as well.
01:18Christopher Columbus.
01:21It's the second leg.
01:23And behind the wheel of this 1971 VW camper van
01:26is the super snazzy dealer Rue Irving
01:29and audacious auctioneer Charles Hanson.
01:33What can I say?
01:35I'm glad I've got you by my side
01:36because you're kind of like my wingman.
01:39Scottish dealer Rue is the gal with sparkle and colour
01:43that loves all things Au Nouveau
01:45and has a serious penchant for glassware
01:48and big hats.
01:50If I was a style, I'd like to think I was Art Nouveau.
01:53Charles is the Georgian dandy of the road trip family.
01:56From the shy, early days as a young metal detectorist
02:00to a flamboyant auctioneer,
02:02Charles is a walking encyclopaedia of antiques.
02:05That's history. I can't believe it.
02:07Armed with a daily budget of up to £400 each,
02:11whoever wins the most auctions out of five
02:14is the road trip champ.
02:15Swing. Swing, baby.
02:16Swing, baby.
02:18With one auction win in the bag,
02:21it's 1-0 to Rue.
02:23I've got you a Lincolnshire loaf.
02:25It's like cake.
02:27It's called plum loaf.
02:29Eyes on the road.
02:30Eyes on the road.
02:30I'll feed you up on a morning off.
02:33Careful.
02:34Nice.
02:35Give her a chance, Carlos.
02:37Blimey.
02:39I lost it.
02:40That was a delicacy.
02:41Where's it gone?
02:42Sorry, it's fine.
02:43Don't worry.
02:44It's OK.
02:45I've got another one.
02:47Don't distract the driver, Carlos.
02:49This tour began in South Yorkshire.
02:52We'll take a run around Lincolnshire,
02:55frolic around the West Midlands
02:56with a big auction showdown in Bristol.
03:00Actually, you're my little Lincoln imp.
03:02Excuse me?
03:03If I'm an imp,
03:04you can be a Lincolnshire sausage.
03:08Charming.
03:11Our two jumpsters are in Lincolnshire,
03:13concluding shopping in Grantham.
03:15First stop,
03:17the village of Hemswell Cliff.
03:23There are so many buildings here, Rue.
03:25I know.
03:25I think this one's got our name on it.
03:27This one says number one.
03:29Oh, you're running, are you?
03:30Yeah, come on.
03:30I'm going to get a tea and coffee.
03:33Oh, I just about got you.
03:36Once part of RAF Hemswell,
03:38this was the home of the Lancaster bomber
03:40during World War II.
03:43It's chocks away
03:44as we explore this super swish establishment.
03:49Now, this, I love colour.
03:52As you can tell,
03:53and I'm always drawn to glass and colour,
03:56and the first thing I see when I look at this...
03:58Ooh, don't break anything.
04:00Look at that.
04:02The way the different glass strands
04:05have fused together
04:06to create that beautiful,
04:08almost stick-of-rock type effect,
04:10it's actually making my mouth water.
04:13What's unusual about this bowl,
04:15if you have a look,
04:16the room is a little bit like
04:18a Scottish mountainous landscape
04:20with that skyline.
04:24And I think it is Murano,
04:25but without any markings,
04:26it's hard to know 100%.
04:28I think it's got charm.
04:30During the Middle Age,
04:31glass-making contributed to the power and wealth
04:34of the Venetian Republic.
04:37This is priced at 75 smackers.
04:40Looks like a hot contender.
04:42Now, where's Charles?
04:45Just look at it.
04:46It's hello, all ages.
04:48Hello, all centuries.
04:50Hello, Hanson.
04:51Let's make a memory.
04:52Now, let's see what Hanson finds to buy
04:55with his £400 kitty.
04:57What I've just seen literally lurking on this small table
05:04is a rather unassuming tureen,
05:07but it's a handsome tureen.
05:09It's in blue and white,
05:10and blue and white porcelain
05:12is synonymous with, I suppose, China.
05:14I reckon this tureen and cover
05:16would probably date
05:18to around 1760.
05:21And I reckon years ago,
05:24back in the 18th century,
05:26it would have been a meat tureen.
05:27And look at that gorgeous pattern,
05:29what we call the willow pattern.
05:30And this is wonderful.
05:32Wonderful.
05:33He's quite mesmerised, look.
05:36Ticket price is £105.
05:38It's like issue.
05:39There would have been handles here.
05:41Can you see?
05:42There's holes here
05:43where there would have been some lug handles
05:46and also some handles here as well.
05:50So rather than me hold it like that,
05:52there would have been handles like that.
05:56And those handles, over the years,
06:00have fallen off.
06:01Does it bother me?
06:02Yes, a bit now.
06:03I'm a bit concerned about this.
06:05But I still love it
06:06for what it represents in the world
06:08a real dining history
06:10and a wonderfully big Chinese object.
06:14It's certainly a whopper.
06:16Now, let's find a roux.
06:18I love these.
06:20Look at the power of this beast.
06:22You always have to check the canines, right?
06:24Uh-oh.
06:24Might be tempted.
06:28I'm on the prowl.
06:29Oh, dear.
06:29Literally.
06:30There's another lion in the jungle.
06:32The most ferocious lion of all.
06:35They're amazing, aren't they?
06:36They are gorgeous.
06:37How much are they?
06:39To you, £5,900.
06:41Are you a cat man or a dog man?
06:42Dogs.
06:43Oh, in that way...
06:43I'm going to find my canine friends.
06:45In that case, jog on, jog on.
06:47Say fetch.
06:48Fetch.
06:52While Fido has a run around,
06:54let's continue with Roux.
06:57What you've got there?
06:58Is it a trinket box?
06:59Is it a pill box?
07:00It's a patch box.
07:02And that probably is about 300 years old.
07:06And do you know what this box signifies?
07:08Impossible beauty standards.
07:10So you've seen them in all the movies.
07:12Tiny little black beauty spots on the skin, the chin,
07:16while they've got a fan and the lovely big wigs.
07:19That's what patches were.
07:20And if you were wealthy, they were made of silk or taffeta.
07:24But if you were poor, you made them out of mouse skin.
07:27So can you imagine putting that on your cheek?
07:29During the late Renaissance,
07:31the use of lead-based cosmetics and diseases like smallpox
07:36meant the dainty little patch became a tantalising beauty cover-up.
07:41So these are made of enamel.
07:43The mirror is in lovely condition, a slight little chip there,
07:47but you expect that being over 250 years old.
07:50Now the price, £130, which is about right.
07:57That's sort of retail.
07:59But if I could get that for double figures,
08:02I think that would be a lovely piece of history.
08:04It's an auction.
08:06What of our old pal Chazza?
08:11Worse than a five-year-old.
08:13Hello to an actual outfit that I think stood tall
08:20and walked tall in the Victorian times.
08:24I love this,
08:24because I think the nearest we get to handling history and people
08:29is either coinage or costume.
08:32A Victorian two-piece outfit.
08:34This was worn in the 1860s.
08:37And you just imagine, sort of, you know,
08:39you know, almost, almost, you know...
08:43Here we go.
08:44..almost have a dance, you know, with a lady of the 1860s
08:48and just imagine the emotion
08:50and almost going back in time...
08:55Come on, she's a very tall lady.
08:56The market for fashion, the market for fashion
08:59from now to back then
09:02is always popular amongst collectors.
09:04And I think for £145,
09:07it's definitely worth a go.
09:11And I might, and I will.
09:14Oh, he's quite a nifty dancer, look.
09:18Along with the large 18th-century Chinese porcelain turin,
09:21we have a total of £250.
09:24Stand by, dealer Robert.
09:25If I ever brought the two together...
09:28Best I can do would be £225.
09:30£225, that's great.
09:31Brilliant.
09:32Thanks, Chief. Good to see you again.
09:33And you.
09:33So I owe you some cash,
09:35and there, my friend, is £225.
09:38Brilliant.
09:38Keep up the amazing workout industry.
09:40Thanks very much.
09:41Great.
09:41Cheers.
09:41Cheers, Robert.
09:42See you later.
09:43Bye.
09:43Bye.
09:44That breaks down to £95 for the turin
09:47and £130 for the Victorian two-piece dress.
09:51While old Twinkled Toes shows off his best foxtrot,
09:54he now has £175.
09:59Let's check in with Sunshine Yellow Rue.
10:02I love morning jewellery,
10:04and here are two pieces side by side.
10:09So morning jewellery has been around since the 1600s
10:12as a reminder to live a pure life,
10:14a reminder of your own mortality,
10:16but it really became popular in the Victorian era.
10:19The colour of your hat is really striking, Rue.
10:23Oh, yes, the brooches.
10:24This is the most delightful compare and contrast.
10:27The one that's really calling to me most
10:30because of the price tag is this one,
10:33£39, 19th century enamelled morning brooch.
10:37So I would say this is probably early 1800s,
10:40so late Georgian era,
10:41but that is a work of art.
10:44But the price tag on that is £595.
10:47£39?
10:49It's a bit of a no-brainer.
10:51My heart will remain with this,
10:53but my head will buy this.
10:56Along with the morning brooch,
10:58Rue also has the Murano bowl
11:00and the 18th century patch box,
11:02totalling £244.
11:05Stand by, Paul.
11:06So if I was to take all three,
11:08could you squeeze it down to 210?
11:10Oh, you're cheeky.
11:12Oh, go on, as it's you.
11:14Oh, thank you. You sure?
11:15I'm sure.
11:16Brilliant.
11:17Done deal, £210.
11:18Thank you so much.
11:20£10.
11:21Many thanks, Paul.
11:22That breaks down to 57 for the Murano bowl,
11:25117 for the 18th century patch box
11:28and 36 for the Georgian morning brooch.
11:32Rue now has £190.
11:35Meanwhile, let's find Hanson.
11:38He's ventured to the once medieval stronghold
11:41of Lincoln.
11:43Long ago, in the realm of Britain,
11:46a landmark moment opened the country's lush countryside
11:50to the people.
11:53Today, more than a million hectares is common land
11:57for us all to roam freely.
11:59This game-changing decree is stored
12:01in a highly secure vault here at Lincoln Castle.
12:05Charles is meeting Joe Porter
12:06to hear about the Charter of the Forest,
12:09a document that would change the country's social
12:11and political landscape forever.
12:15So, Charter of the Forest, what exactly was that?
12:18Is that?
12:19Well, it's a charter which was created by King Henry III in 1217,
12:24and it was part, or an extension, if you like,
12:27of King John's Magna Carta, which was created in 1215.
12:32From the 11th century,
12:33the Normans introduced designated hunting areas
12:37known as royal forests for the monarchy and aristocrats.
12:40It was essentially their playground,
12:44so they had exclusive access to hunting in that area,
12:48which meant that they could hunt for mainly deer
12:52and any other kind of game birds that were there,
12:54because by John's reign,
12:56a third of England was likely to have been royal forest,
12:59and only the king was allowed to hunt in those lands.
13:03Any commoner found in a designated royal forest
13:06would face cruel consequences.
13:08It was considered trespassing if you were on their land,
13:13so if you damaged or destroyed any of the woodland,
13:17which was in this time period called the ver,
13:19or if you helped yourself to venison the king's deer,
13:23and these were things that you could be mutilated for at best,
13:27executed at worst.
13:29In 1215, King John and the baron's fractious relations
13:33came to a head, resulting in the Magna Carta.
13:36Once it's sealed by John in 1215,
13:41the following year, in the midst of civil war,
13:44King John dies, leaving his nine-year-old son,
13:47King Henry III, as King of England.
13:50As a nine-year-old, he had to have someone as his guardian,
13:54and that gentleman was William Marshall,
13:56and he plays a really important role, we think,
13:58in the creation of the Charter of the Forest.
14:01As advisor to the boy king, legendary and honourable knight William
14:06wanted to regain the favour of the people.
14:10They now had a groundbreaking document permitting hunting and grazing.
14:14The Charter of the Forest was really important,
14:17so what it was doing, it was taking clauses from Magna Carta that existed
14:21and making them more specific,
14:23and this would benefit, eventually, normal people like you and me,
14:28as it meant that they would no longer be executed,
14:31for example, for being on forest land.
14:34One of only two copies surviving in the whole world,
14:38this 800-year-old incredible piece of English history
14:41rests here for all to see.
14:43Wow.
14:44The Charter of the Forest really defined history,
14:48and within this amazing building I'm in,
14:51it just feels so secure, so real,
14:54and it's really such rich history
14:56that defined the lands of our country
14:59literally almost 1,000 years ago.
15:02Give or take 100 years or so.
15:04And to this very day,
15:06this great document echoes across the land
15:08where areas exist for the people to care and use as they see fit.
15:13Here I am on common land, West Common, on Charlotte.
15:18I feel very content up here.
15:20For how long? I'm not so sure.
15:23I could be after you.
15:25I could be going, going, gone. Hold tight.
15:27You're certainly cutting a dash, Charles.
15:29To this day, this 100-hectare green has enjoyed grazing rights,
15:35all thanks to a distant realm in medieval England
15:38that gave the power back to the people.
15:40And that, Charlotte, has been a very good road trip, or horse trip.
15:47What do you think?
15:48I think she wants you to hoof it.
15:51Let's look for a Rue.
15:53I quite like being up high, actually.
15:55I can see over the hedges, peer into the gardens.
15:59I feel like I'm queen of the road.
16:00Proper road trip royalty, this.
16:04Rue is also in the city of Lincoln.
16:07Back in the 13th century,
16:09Lincoln Cathedral was the tallest building in the world,
16:12even dwarfing the pyramids in Egypt.
16:15Oh, this is just perfect for Rue.
16:25Hello, darling.
16:27A cat cafe.
16:29Whatever will they think of next?
16:33He's feline hungry.
16:35This is a perfect day.
16:41Positively.
16:42You love cats, but I'm not sure they love you, Rue.
16:46Nothing, not even a peep or a meow.
16:48Well, babies, I'd love to stay here all day long,
16:50but the antiques aren't going to buy themselves, are they?
16:53No, someone's got a day job.
16:54Bye, little one.
16:55Yeah, shove off.
17:01Blimey, back to work, Rue.
17:03Just up the road lies Lincoln Antiques and Collectibles.
17:09Ooh, is there a cat up there?
17:13From her £400 kitty, Rue now has £190.
17:20There's over 40 dealers with goodies on sale in here.
17:24What else can we find?
17:25Before me stands, a very beautiful horse.
17:32I never really buy anything animal-related unless it's cats,
17:36but I'm thinking this is leather.
17:39I want to feel if this is heavy or not.
17:42Yeah, leather animal sculptures are quite,
17:46not common, but they're hotly collected.
17:49So many horse lovers out there
17:51that will buy anything horse-related.
17:53And I think two things I really love about this,
17:56the animal.
17:58Secondly, the size.
18:00Leather-wrapped horse sculptures can date back
18:03as far as the 18th century,
18:05but those in the mid-century and arts and crafts style
18:08are particularly sought after.
18:10I haven't looked at the price tag yet.
18:12So I'm getting a little bit excited,
18:15but leather horse, £120.
18:19If I could get that down a bit more,
18:23this could be my next buy to take to auction.
18:26I think it's quality, I think it's beautifully done.
18:28I'm liking it, but it all depends on price.
18:32There's dealer Dave.
18:34Whoa, there.
18:35Hello.
18:35So what I'm wondering is,
18:37what is an amazing price you can do
18:39that's in sort of double figures?
18:42£120.
18:43How about a solid tonne?
18:45How does that sound?
18:45Just £100.
18:46Nay, chance.
18:47I was thinking or hoping more for around about the 70, 75?
18:52I'll tell you what, I'll meet you at 80 quid.
18:54How does that sound?
18:54Is that your absolute best?
18:55I think so, yeah, definitely, yeah.
18:57OK.
18:58In that case, through the legs.
19:00Reign it in.
19:01Oops!
19:02Sorry, Ned.
19:05I think you got off right there.
19:07Hence the long face.
19:09Brilliant. Thank you very much.
19:09Thank you so much.
19:11Thanks, Dave.
19:12Ned will make his own way to auction.
19:15Roo now has £110 remaining.
19:25What?
19:26I think we might be in three,
19:27but you've carried it well,
19:29which means we'll be.
19:31Oh, man.
19:31I want another chance.
19:34Blimey.
19:35Nighty night.
19:35Good morning.
19:45Hold on, hold on.
19:46Oh.
19:48Sorry.
19:49Sorry.
19:49Oh.
19:50You are the loveliest distraction to anyone
19:52who's trying to keep their eyes on the road.
19:54Sorry about that.
19:55I just feel...
19:56I feel so content.
19:58Oh, that gladdens me heart.
20:00If there's an antique that sums you up,
20:02what is it?
20:02What are you?
20:03I would be a piece of English deeds of Delftware
20:06but badly chipped and walled.
20:08Oh, no, you're not.
20:10I think you would be a piece in mint condition.
20:12Get out of here.
20:13Best buds or what?
20:15I think you would be a car bus.
20:17You're beautifully shimmering in the lights
20:22of a lovely, smart motor car.
20:25Do you know, that's so lovely,
20:26I'm not even going to offer up my own antique.
20:28I would take yours instead.
20:29Get out of here.
20:30Oh, thank you.
20:31Get out of here.
20:32You old charmer.
20:34Yesterday, Charles went for it
20:36with his big wadge of cash.
20:39Buying the 18th century Chinese porcelain
20:41large tureen
20:43and the Victorian two-piece dress.
20:45Buy my old dress
20:46and I might
20:47and I will.
20:48Charles,
20:49a big spender,
20:51Hanson,
20:52has £175 stashed
20:54in his road trip wallet.
20:55Roo was in super shop mode
20:59collecting the Murano bowl,
21:02the 18th century patch box,
21:03the Georgian mourning brooch
21:05and the large leather horse sculpture.
21:09I love a good bell.
21:10Meaning, Roo,
21:11I love to shop.
21:13Irvin
21:13now has £110.
21:15I spy
21:18with my little line
21:20something beginning with H.
21:22Not me,
21:23but it's not Hanson.
21:24Ahem.
21:25Hedges.
21:26You're correct.
21:27All I can see,
21:28Hedges.
21:29Bit of an easy one, that.
21:30I spy with my little eye
21:32something beginning with L.
21:33Long word.
21:35One more guess
21:35and I'll tell you.
21:36L-l-l-l-milla,
21:37it must be
21:38the type of cloud,
21:40luminous clouds.
21:41No.
21:42What is it?
21:42Legends.
21:43Oh, get out of here.
21:46Yeah, peace of luck.
21:49Busy mates forever.
21:51Their travels today
21:52will continue around Lincolnshire,
21:54heading to Nottinghamshire.
21:56Charles has been dropped off
21:57somewhere just outside Navenby.
22:03Blimey.
22:04I'm determined.
22:05There's a thumbs up
22:05to the environment.
22:07I'm doing my bit
22:08for that, literally.
22:09I'm on a Roman road.
22:11Ermine Street.
22:12It was a main link road
22:14linking London
22:15to Lincoln
22:16to York.
22:18Usain Bolt,
22:19eat your heart out.
22:22Civilisation.
22:23What was going on
22:24on this road
22:26all those years ago?
22:29Horses and carts
22:30I can run.
22:32Gotta work hard
22:33for the Antiques road trip.
22:35There's no let-up.
22:37This is history.
22:39The Roman way.
22:40The Roman road.
22:41Let's go, Carlos.
22:42Straight on.
22:43It goes on
22:44and on.
22:45Yeah.
22:46And on.
22:48Yes.
22:49Our very own Clark Kent, eh?
22:51Well, we made it
22:52to Navenby.
22:54I've made it,
22:55Antique Centre.
22:56Here we are.
22:57At least he's sorted
22:58his tie.
22:59Let's get in and get delving.
23:07Yep, it looks really lovely in here.
23:11Charles has £175 stashed in his pocket.
23:14This is a Prince Regent style
23:19of circa 1810.
23:20Importantly,
23:21look at that colour.
23:23That is the colour of mahogany
23:25you want to see.
23:26It's what we call plum pudding.
23:28It's just deep,
23:29it's rich,
23:31it's got a gorgeous colour
23:32and it could be yours
23:34for £78.
23:3530 years ago,
23:36that would have been £150.
23:38Now at auction,
23:39probably worth £40.
23:40But you know what?
23:41It's just a gorgeous design.
23:44Recycle,
23:45gorgeous,
23:45go green hall chair.
23:47But at £78,
23:48probably a bit too much
23:49when I'm looking to make
23:51a bit of that.
23:52Calm down,
23:53Del boy.
23:54Look at that.
24:00It's an oak panel
24:02and you can just see
24:04all the dirt and grime
24:06in the crevices
24:08of what would be
24:10a family armorial
24:11or crest.
24:13You've got this swept,
24:15scaly,
24:16horned mammal
24:17of sorts
24:19and it simply says
24:21oak panel,
24:22£24.
24:22Now this clearly
24:24has perhaps come off
24:26perhaps a blanket chest
24:28but the reason I like this
24:29is you look at the cut
24:30and the grain of wood
24:32here on the side
24:34and the back of it.
24:36This has got some age
24:38but I think it's
24:38late 18th century.
24:39I think it's circa
24:40£17.90.
24:41I think at £24
24:43it's got a bleat
24:45or a bar
24:47of a profit.
24:49I like that.
24:50It's just hidden
24:50in this corner.
24:52He's not kidding.
24:55Ah, there's dealer Dean
24:57to talk moolah.
24:59Hi Dean.
25:01Hi George.
25:01You OK?
25:02How's life?
25:03Very good.
25:03It's like coming to an old
25:04long boss friend.
25:05It's good.
25:06There's a very nice
25:07carved oak plaque.
25:09Quite unusual.
25:10It's a goat, isn't it?
25:11Is it a goat?
25:12I think it's a goat.
25:12But I'm feeling
25:13the horns have it.
25:15Yeah.
25:16And that goat might have legs.
25:18It's a radio barn.
25:19And climb the highlands
25:20of auction
25:21and he'll pay you
25:22the full
25:23£24.
25:25There's two.
25:27There's three
25:27and there's four.
25:28Thanking you, Dean.
25:30Charles now has
25:31£151 remaining.
25:34Meanwhile,
25:38let's find a Rue.
25:40I'm loving
25:41what I've bought
25:42but Charles,
25:43he's quite
25:44the mighty contender
25:45so I need to keep
25:46my wits about me
25:47at all times.
25:48Rue has made it
25:49to Mansfield
25:50in Nottinghamshire,
25:51the legendary base
25:52of medieval robber
25:54Robin Hood.
25:54What can Rue hunt
25:56down in here
25:57with her remaining
25:58£110?
26:07Charles,
26:08London calling.
26:09Get out of here.
26:10Hello, Charles.
26:12Hang on for me.
26:16See, I'm always
26:17on the look for a sign.
26:19Reduced £48
26:20down to £38.
26:22So if your surname
26:23was Woodridge,
26:23excellent,
26:25brilliant thing
26:26to buy
26:26and put in your home.
26:27If not,
26:28it's kind of
26:29got limited appeal
26:30but I need to find
26:31something to beat it.
26:32While Rue
26:33scars the shelves,
26:36Charles is over
26:3730 miles away
26:38in the town
26:38of Grantham.
26:40The mathematics
26:42genius that
26:43discovered gravity,
26:44Sir Isaac Newton,
26:45was born here.
26:48Keeping his
26:49tippy toes
26:50firmly on the ground,
26:51what can Charles
26:52find?
26:53at Notion's
26:54antique centre.
26:57It's just
26:58an Aladdin's cave
26:58of dreams,
27:00of drama
27:00and hopefully profits.
27:02He should be
27:03on the stage,
27:04you know.
27:05Charles has just
27:06over £150
27:08left.
27:12What I like
27:13is this?
27:16I thought it was.
27:20It's one of these.
27:22Hit us with it,
27:23Charles.
27:24It is.
27:25What it is,
27:26it's a Royal Navy
27:27rum pump
27:28to give sailors,
27:30workers their daily
27:31ration.
27:32This
27:33is a manner
27:34of tradition
27:35which goes back
27:36to the reign of
27:37Charles II.
27:38and we're
27:38talking something
27:39which goes back
27:40to 1667.
27:43Quite right,
27:43Charles.
27:44Rum was used
27:45as an alternative
27:46to beer
27:47which was more prone
27:48to going off
27:49whilst at sea.
27:51I'm a bit giddy
27:52with this, actually.
27:52I feel a bit giddy
27:53because it's such a great object.
27:54And you can imagine
27:55this obviously
27:56would pump
27:57into this central
27:58section here
27:59your tots,
28:01I think it's called
28:01a rum,
28:02and then maybe
28:03a glass here
28:04would pour out
28:06that measure
28:07of what you
28:09are entitled to.
28:10Cheers.
28:11I really rate it.
28:12I think it's a great lot.
28:14Certainly a double rum
28:14at 179
28:16and that could be
28:17just shaken
28:17and might be stirred.
28:19I think you're
28:20on to a goody,
28:22double O Carlos.
28:24Let's knit back
28:25to Rue in Mansfield.
28:31I love
28:32the sculptural shape
28:34of this.
28:35I love the size,
28:36the height,
28:37the bulb,
28:38this bottom.
28:40But these you could see
28:41in any modern home
28:42but also a Victorian home,
28:45a Georgian home,
28:45you could dress them up
28:46as you want.
28:48And what I'm liking
28:48about these
28:49is it says
28:50two red glass vases,
28:5145 pound.
28:53That's quite a good idea.
28:54I had a lot of glass
28:54for 45 pound.
28:56But what boxes
28:57is it ticking?
28:58Colour,
28:59shape
28:59and the fact
29:00they're a pair.
29:02Let's look at the base,
29:03good condition,
29:05no cracks.
29:07Now I've bought
29:08a lot of age so far,
29:10a lot of age.
29:11So I don't mind
29:13switching it up
29:14and getting some
29:15mid-20th century
29:16art glass.
29:17this,
29:19this on the plus side
29:20is hand-made.
29:22You can see
29:23where at the bottom
29:24that's been
29:24hand-blown.
29:26The thing is
29:26they are good prices
29:28and people pay well
29:29for art glass.
29:31Which one do I like better?
29:32Well, that depends
29:33on the price.
29:34They're both priced
29:35at 45 pounds.
29:36Jeff's the man
29:37in charge here.
29:38Let's ask.
29:41Hi, Jeff.
29:42Hello.
29:42So can you tell me
29:44on the pair
29:45of ruby red vases
29:46what is the absolute
29:47bottom, bottom,
29:49bottom line
29:50that you can do
29:51to help make
29:52my decision easier?
29:53They take up
29:54a lot of space,
29:54don't they?
29:55I would say 35.
29:5635, okay.
29:57And on the tall vase...
29:59The same.
30:01You've got to make it differ.
30:03Make it 30.
30:04For which?
30:05For the tall one.
30:07So 30 pounds
30:08for the vase,
30:09it probably makes sense
30:10to go for the one
30:10that's hand-made.
30:12No, I would.
30:12Tick the vase
30:13at 30 pounds, please.
30:15Thank you so much.
30:16Well, we got there
30:17in the end.
30:19Rue now has the sum
30:21of just 80 pounds left.
30:24Back to Carlos
30:25in Grantham.
30:29What I've just found
30:30on this pink chair
30:31down here
30:33are a pair
30:34of photo frames.
30:35I would say
30:36these are
30:37from the Great War years.
30:38So you're talking
30:381914-18,
30:40probably just
30:41into the reign
30:42of George the Fifth,
30:42and these are
30:44naive
30:44and for the pair
30:46they're 59.
30:49This one
30:50is really quite crude.
30:52But again,
30:52once again,
30:53you can see
30:53you've got the oval
30:55photo frame this time.
30:58Similar design
30:59and on the back
31:00some evidence
31:01of where photographs
31:02once sat.
31:03A split
31:04on this one here
31:04that will affect value.
31:06This one is priced
31:07at 23 pounds.
31:08What I would want
31:09to do is put
31:10all three together
31:11and like a clock
31:12garniture,
31:13you've got the pair
31:14and the big
31:15centrepiece of a clock.
31:17Here you've got
31:17your pair
31:19and then in the middle
31:21and then in the middle
31:21you've got
31:22your main one.
31:23We're ready
31:24to talk money.
31:25Standby dealer,
31:26Sharon.
31:28Sharon,
31:29are you around?
31:31Hi, Charles.
31:31Hi.
31:32Starting with the
31:3319th century
31:34Royal Navy
31:35copper rum pump
31:36priced at
31:37179 pounds.
31:39What's the best
31:41before I walk
31:43the plank
31:43on that?
31:44What's the death
31:45on that in Grantham?
31:46We could probably
31:46do that for 100 to you.
31:48Really?
31:48Yes.
31:48That gives you
31:49a good profit still.
31:50We've got a small
31:50profit in that, yeah.
31:51I really rate it.
31:52It's got such
31:53great social history.
31:56Mental note.
31:58The garniture
31:58of our nouveau
31:59photograph frames
32:00come to 82 pounds
32:02in total.
32:03If I walked
32:03the two together
32:04and made a garniture
32:05of three
32:06in a lot,
32:07what could the best be?
32:08So that's 82.
32:0982, isn't it?
32:10Yeah.
32:10Is there a discount
32:11on that?
32:1150.
32:12Wow.
32:13All three?
32:13Yeah, all three for 50.
32:14Great.
32:15So you're saying
32:15how much?
32:1650.
32:17And?
32:18And 100.
32:19Equals?
32:20150.
32:21A deal.
32:22Thank you very much
32:22indeed.
32:22That's amazing.
32:23140.
32:2550.
32:25That's great.
32:26I'll go get my lots.
32:27Great to see you again.
32:28And you.
32:28Take care.
32:29I'll be in touch.
32:31Bye.
32:31Many thanks, Sharon.
32:33Charles has almost
32:34blown the budget
32:35to Kingdom Come
32:36with just one pound left.
32:39That's all the shopping
32:40done and dusted.
32:42Yesterday, yeah.
32:43Go on.
32:43Just about any year.
32:44I look like
32:45maths, like ideas.
32:471793.
32:48In 1793,
32:49Bobby Spierre was killed
32:50in France
32:50during the federal revolution.
32:52Next one.
32:53You sure about that?
32:55Best get some shut-eye.
32:56We are breathless
33:01with anticipation.
33:03Time to find out
33:04if we can make
33:05some big bucks.
33:07He's bendy.
33:09Your foot, OK?
33:10With a heel-toe.
33:11Into a cell room.
33:13Hopefully,
33:14with a gallop,
33:15gallop,
33:17gallop.
33:18What is he
33:19going on about?
33:20Our chirpy duo,
33:23after a whiz around
33:24Lincolnshire,
33:25have returned north
33:26to the Midlothian
33:27village of Rosewell
33:28at Thompson Roddick.
33:32Today's sale
33:33is in the room,
33:34on the phone
33:35and the World Wide Web.
33:38Our no-messing
33:39gavel basher
33:40is Sibel Thompson.
33:43£250.
33:44Charles bought five lots
33:48for the total
33:48of £399.
33:51Anything stand out,
33:52Sibel?
33:53When I saw
33:54this carved panel,
33:55the one thing
33:55that jumped out
33:56at me was the goat.
33:57And it may well
33:58have come from
33:58a family coat of arms.
34:00It's a nice quality piece.
34:02Five lots for Rue 2
34:04for the sum
34:05of £320.
34:07What's your fave,
34:09Sibel?
34:10I think this
34:11horse model
34:12is fun.
34:13And actually,
34:14I think it could
34:14gallop away.
34:15I personally
34:16think it's great.
34:17I see what you did there.
34:19Sorry.
34:20Back to our happy pair.
34:23Oh, come on, you two.
34:24I'll sit here, OK?
34:26I'll sit here.
34:28There we go.
34:30It's my nerves.
34:31Pretty much the nerves.
34:32You'll be needing
34:33the loo next.
34:35Here we go.
34:36First up is
34:37Charles' 18th century
34:38Chinese porcelain turin.
34:40Stay called
34:41so honest,
34:42but yet
34:43desperately poorly.
34:45You saw past
34:46the cracks
34:46in the staples.
34:47You saw the beauty.
34:48I can start at
34:4910 bit.
34:5010 bit.
34:5112, 15,
34:5218, 20.
34:53It's history.
34:55Wind it up.
34:5522, 25,
34:5828, 28.
35:00Still very impressive
35:01from a distance.
35:02At 28.

35:28I just, you know,
35:30when I looked

36:05of his skirts
36:06it's Charles'
36:07Victorian two-piece dress.
36:09I think you'll say,
36:10Charles,
36:11I love that dress.
36:12I want it.

36:30No, sorry.

36:33with the lucky bidder.
36:3432.
36:35They're not sent

36:38It's gone.
36:40Oh.
36:41God blimey,
36:42that hurts
36:43right in the bustle.
36:44It's beautiful.
36:45It's in gorgeous condition.
36:47You're not going
36:48to get that again.
36:48No, but it's gone.
36:50The Georgian mourning
36:51broach from Rue now.
36:52I would buy
36:53memorial jewellery
36:54all day long
36:55and I would wear it.
36:56I would adorn myself.
36:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:58Some people find it
36:59a bit grotesque
37:00but I find it
37:00incredibly romantic.
37:02We're going to start
37:02at 22.5.
37:04Oh, she could be.
37:0532.
37:06Well done.
37:0832.
37:0832.
37:10Anyone else going on
37:11at 32?
37:12I know, I know.
37:1432.
37:15Lost in time.
37:17It does.
37:17History is lost.
37:18Not quite, Chas.
37:20Someone's just bought it,
37:21you know.
37:22Small loss of four pounds.
37:23Unlucky partner.
37:24I know.
37:26Goat ready.
37:28The 18th century oak panel
37:29from Charles.
37:31I had a goat many years ago
37:32called Wobbly,
37:33you know, when I was young.
37:34At home,
37:34I had two broken legs
37:35called Wobbly
37:36and that kind of connected me
37:38with this goat.
37:39And we have started
37:41at 42, 45, 48, 50, 5, 60.
37:45Go on.
37:4660.
37:4765.
37:48Think of Wobbly.
37:4970.
37:50I'm delighted with this.
37:51Good.
37:52I'm so happy.
37:53At 70 pounds.
37:55I'm so happy.
37:58In memory of Wobbly,
37:59what a result.
38:01You're washing up there.
38:02Wobbly, that was for you.
38:04Wobbly, I love you.
38:07Enough kidding about.
38:08Sorry.
38:09It's Rue's Murano glass bowl.
38:12But it's almost like
38:13if you were to crawl
38:14into a stick of rock
38:15and get lost in there
38:16and live in that candy world.
38:18That's what it's like.
38:19I can start at 45, 50,
38:22Love the colours.
38:2470, 5.
38:25The colours are stunning.
38:275, 90.
38:28Slow down.
38:2895.
38:29Lovely piece of glass.
38:30Go on.
38:31It is.
38:32100, 110.
38:34You're flying.
38:35110.
38:35Jabella, Jabella.
38:37Beautiful.
38:38Pounds.
38:39Yes.
38:42Molto bene.
38:43Ciao, profitos.
38:45Your art form is colour
38:47and that Murano ball is you.
38:49Oh, thank you.
38:49I just, I was drawn in.
38:51Onwards,
38:52with Charles's Scottish
38:54Arnuvo photograph panels.
38:55OK, we've come to Scotland.

39:19Selling on the internet at 45.
39:22At 45.
39:245.
39:24Oh, please.
39:26A bargain for the lucky bidder.
39:29They were worth a lot more than you are.
39:31They were beautiful.
39:32That's very kind.
39:33I'll pay you later.
39:34Blimey.
39:35That's a whopper.
39:36It's Rue's art glass vase.
39:39This is the first time I bought more with my head than my heart.
39:42But then it will show whether that's a good thing or not
39:44to buy with your head or your heart.
39:46I've got 25 bid.
39:4728.

39:57This time the head won, Rue.
39:59Well played, partner.
40:00Oh, thank you.
40:02Fancy a tot?
40:03I present you with the George IV copper rum pump.

40:47That's okay.
40:47That's well done.
40:49Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
40:52You've escaped walking the plank.
40:55I feel as pleased as.
40:57Pudge.
40:59Giddy up.
41:00It's the final lot.
41:01Rue's leather horse.
41:02It just called to me.
41:04It says you must buy me.
41:05You must take me home.

41:22Wow.

41:2355.
41:24Oh, look at this now.
41:2575.
41:2780.
41:275.
41:2890.
41:295.
41:29100.
41:30Do you like him?
41:31110.
41:32110.
41:33Anyone else going on at 110?
41:34120.
41:35130.
41:36Oh, my goodness me.
41:37You're moving in a canter now.
41:38Oh, God.
41:38No, we're nearly galloping at 130.
41:40That's right.
41:40All tight.
41:41130.
41:42At 140.
41:43You're in the saddle.
41:45You're holding out.
41:46150.
41:47Salute.
41:48160.
41:49You.
41:50160.
41:51160.
41:52Selling away at 160.
41:53Anyone else want in at 160 pounds?
41:58High five.
41:59Amazing.
42:00Yes.
42:01A runaway success.
42:03That result has made Roo financially stable.
42:06I think we should, you know.
42:07Pump ourselves up.
42:09Yeah.
42:09And we'll say, well done.
42:12I think you've taken that and we'll hit the scores.
42:14Yep.
42:15Let's crunch some numbers.
42:17After certain costs, Charles has a sum of 244 pounds and 54 pence.
42:24While Roo, also after costs, made 399 pounds and 80 pence.
42:30Making Roo triumphant.
42:33But there are still three more to go.
42:39Wow.
42:40I was not expecting that.
42:42Do you know, it's like one and two.
42:44You're now two nil up.
42:45What's a secret?
42:46Can you give some advice?
42:47How do you do this?
42:48Why with your eyes closed?
42:49How do you do it?
42:50Talk to me.
42:51I have no idea.
42:52Talk to me.
42:53Next time on the trip.
42:55How would you head back at the deck?
42:56Can you give me one for me now?
42:58And that's how you do it.
42:59Charles gives a top tip.
43:01There's not much wedge in the wood.
43:03So when there's no wedge in the wood, you walk away from wedge water.
43:07While Roo is feeling clayful.
43:10I am so happy with that head.
43:12I am so happy with that head.
43:12I am so happy with that head.
