00:01It's the nation's favourite antiques experts
00:04Behind the wheel of a classic car
00:07This car dancing!
00:09And a goal to scar Britain for antiques
00:12The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction
00:16But it's no mean feat
00:18There'll be worthy winners
00:20And valiant losers
00:22Oh dear
00:23Will it be the high road to glory?
00:24I feel like we're in a James Bond film
00:26Or the slow road to disaster?
00:30This is Antiques Road Trip
00:34Yeah
00:37Are we ready?
00:41For these two
00:42Is it really not a juice?
00:43Antique aficionados turned comedy double act
00:47Margie Cooper and Danny Sebastian
00:49Are back on the hunt for treasures
00:51Would you marry me?
00:53You'll have to forgive them
00:55It's clearly their comedy hour
00:57Armed with a fresh 200 pounds
00:59It's the fourth leg of their jovial jaunt
01:02In the 1991 Lincoln Lowrider
01:05I want it to go on forever
01:07Oh
01:08Don't you?
01:09Yeah of course I do
01:10Well you don't sound very convincing
01:11It's quite hard
01:12Do you know what?
01:13I feel like one way traffic up a two way street
01:16Maybe it's the suspension
01:18Oh come on
01:20Last time out in Yorkshire
01:21Inspirations struck in fashion
01:23Da da da da da
01:26Whoops
01:27And in fumbles
01:28Thought that
01:29We've been 30 now
01:30At auction Danny found lavatorial success
01:3335
01:34Go on
01:36But Margie made a clean sweep
01:38With a round three hat trick
01:40There's no nice way of saying this but I'm in the need
01:46Well there's still a chance for me to redeem myself
01:49And make it free too
01:51I've got to win the next two mind you
01:53But respectable
01:54I don't think you will
01:55Oh Margie
01:56Never one to mince her words are Margie
02:00Their battle began in Bonny Scotland
02:02Then took a leisurely loop around the lakes
02:05Zipped across Yorkshire
02:07And now winds through the East Midlands
02:10Cruising towards a grand finale in Derbyshire
02:13Just watch this
02:14Oh shut up
02:15You'll have me in that cornfield in a minute
02:17If they make it
02:19This time out
02:20Our giddy twosome will be shopping their way towards Newark on Trent
02:24But first it all begins with Margie in WorkSop
02:28Once known for its flower mills, coal mining and canal side trade
02:33In the late 18th century it was also one of the country's biggest licorice producers
02:39Margie's search for sweet treasures begins at Carlton House Antiques and Crafts Centre
02:44Once the town's council offices
02:46Now a hub of all things vintage and curious
02:49Including our truly scrumptious Margie
02:52Margie giving us a twirl
02:55Antique shops full of surprises at every turn
02:58Ah look
03:00Ah
03:01Pelham puppets
03:03Gosh
03:05Look at this
03:07The marionettes on strings
03:09Look at that
03:10Can't do it
03:11I've got enough stress
03:13Without trying to untangle that
03:16Sorry mate
03:17These puppets aren't pulling Margie's strings today
03:20On to the next act
03:22Oh what's this?
03:25Careful Margie
03:27Steady
03:28One slip
03:29And it's sold
03:30Oh this is a lovely plate
03:32It's
03:34French
03:351930s
03:37Dark Deco
03:38Looking like Lalique
03:39But it's not Lalique
03:41Lovely opalescent effect
03:45You sort of get the opalescent effect more if you look at the back of it strangely enough
03:50There's a mark for Isan
03:52There's a mark for Isan
03:54Which is French
03:55These are sort of pairs of lovebirds
03:58Aren't they lovely?
03:59The price at the moment is $55
04:01Which I think is quite cheap
04:03So if we can get a little bit of a deal on that
04:07It's coming home with me
04:09Eyes on the prize eh Margie?
04:11I've won a trophy
04:13That's what I feel like
04:15A moment of glory
04:17Meanwhile fellow trophy hunter Danny is kicking off his shopping shenanigans in the city of Sheffield
04:25Vibrant and modern and with more trees than people
04:29This is a place where city life and green spaces go hand in hand
04:34In the heart of the antiques quarter
04:36Very nice
04:37Danny's making tracks for Healy Bank Antique Centre
04:41Housed in a former bank
04:43Built in 1900
04:45These days instead of cheques and cash
04:47It's home to curios and collectibles
04:52Not quite a symphony but points for Puff
04:56Right will ya
05:01This is interesting
05:03What a little belter
05:06Look at the face on him
05:08This is Winston Churchill's pal
05:10Lovely little figure of a British Bulldog
05:12Cold painted
05:14Lovely patina on it
05:16Great shape
05:18Around about 1920s
05:20Somewhere around there I'd say it was formed
05:22Oh it's a lovely example
05:24It's all distressed
05:26The paint's flaking away
05:28Priced up at £40
05:30It's already been reduced
05:32But if I can get a little bit trimmed off that
05:34That would definitely be coming to auction with me
05:38Right
05:40Let's keep rolling
05:42Righty ho then
05:43Sounds like the perfect cue
05:45To hop over to WorkSop and Margie's shop
05:48Oh crikey
05:50Look at this old coffer
05:52My word
05:54Look at that
05:56That'll be two or three hundred years old
05:58Looks like woodworms had a go
06:00What's that?
06:02Oh I like the look of that
06:04I think it's been a
06:06A rose for the ceiling
06:08Of a Victorian house
06:10But it's an architectural antique
06:12Cast iron
06:14I can hardly lift it
06:16Which is great
06:18Quality
06:19Must be 150 years old
06:21I like that
06:25No price ticket
06:27So am I going to be disappointed?
06:29Let's hope the price doesn't hit the roof
06:32Time to talk turkey with Ben
06:35The man in charge
06:36Hi Ben
06:37Right Ben
06:39Had a lovely time in your lovely centre
06:41So first of all how much is this?
06:43We've got it on at 55
06:45But I can do a bit better for you
06:47A bit better?
06:48Yeah
06:49Like bit what?
06:5030
06:51That's fine
06:52Yeah
06:53Also outside
06:54There's this sort of cast iron
06:56Victorian
06:57I think it was a ceiling rose really
06:59There's no price on that
07:00So come on Ben
07:02I really like that
07:03How much can that be?
07:05Had 50 on it
07:06Yeah
07:07But that can be 25
07:08Oh that's marvellous
07:09Thanks Ben
07:10Generous discount
07:1155 for the two
07:13Thank you ever so much
07:14Bye bye
07:15Margie
07:16With 145 pounds in her coffers
07:18The other coffers
07:19Err
07:20I'll come back for you later
07:22Or perhaps straight to auction
07:24That's Margie smelling of roses
07:26Let's catch up with her florally attired fellow
07:29In Sheffield
07:30Of course how did I miss that?
07:33Sometimes you need a second lap
07:35Bit of iconicness here
07:37Bit of iconicness
07:39Ernest Race 1950s antelope chair
07:42Great designer was Ernest Race
07:45From the early 20th century to mid 20th century
07:48Ernest Race was a pioneer of post war furniture
07:52Creating contemporary pieces using improvised or recycled materials
07:57His antelope chair made design history
08:00At the 1951 festival of Britain
08:02Formed by bent metal
08:04And a plywood seat
08:06It was just something absolutely new
08:09Very iconic
08:10Very classic
08:11A few chips just around it
08:14But nothing to worry about really
08:16It's quite gives it its character really
08:18I'm falling in love with this
08:20Oh and it's extremely comfortable
08:22Looks it
08:24Comfortable price?
08:25Priced up at £120
08:28I love it
08:31I just don't love the price
08:34Time to talk moolah with owner Paul
08:37He might need a chair
08:39Paul
08:40Hello
08:41How are you?
08:42Not so bad
08:43You've got a lovely place here
08:44Thank you very much
08:45Ernest Race chair
08:46Yeah
08:47Priced up £120
08:48Yeah
08:49Could I buy that for £50?
08:50No
08:51Nice try Danny
08:53What will be your best on it?
08:55Are you lumping it with something else?
08:56I've got the little English Bulldog
09:00Priced at £40
09:02Right
09:03If you buy them both
09:05Yes
09:06£100
09:07I mean could I get that chair for £60?
09:10And the dog for £20?
09:12So that's £80
09:13So we'll go in between £90
09:18Give us your hand
09:19Give us your hand
09:20I'll take that
09:21That's £65 for the chair and £25 for the little bulldog
09:25£90 to £2
09:27That's all yours Paul
09:28Thank you very much
09:29See you later
09:30Alright Paul
09:31Leaving Danny with £110 still in his pocket
09:34Splendid boys
09:35And off he goes to reunite with his pal Margie
09:39Where the subject turns to tactics
09:42Some people find it very difficult to barter
09:44I don't find it difficult at all
09:46No doubt your charm, charisma and canache is what gets you through
09:52Yeah well you do it with humour
09:54They just think look I need to get this man out of the shop
09:57Well that's right
09:59Well whatever seals the deal eh?
10:01Even if it means a swift exit
10:03Time now for a little detour
10:05As Danny and Margie head to the city's historic industrial heartland
10:09Furnace Hill
10:10They're here to explore a curious creation
10:14One that's rooted in the city's past
10:16And continues to strike a chord to this day
10:19The Humble Tuning Fork
10:22Here we go
10:23They're meeting Adrian Posthuma
10:25Managing Director of the UK's only tuning fork manufacturer
10:29Adrian
10:30Hello there
10:31Ah
10:32How are you?
10:33Nice to meet you Margie Cooper
10:34And you too
10:35Adrian
10:36Hi Danny
10:37This is all very intriguing
10:38Basically the opportunity came to buy
10:39A very long established company called Vag
10:41Vag Tuning Forks
10:42And they started making tuning forks in 1841
10:45The tuning fork was invented in London in 1711 by John Shaw
10:50A renowned musician and royal trumpeter
10:53At this point they were mostly used
10:56For tuning musical instruments with precision
11:00During the centuries that followed
11:02As Sheffield forged its reputation as a steel city
11:06The use of tuning forks diversified
11:08In 1841 local company Rag
11:12Makers of razors, scissors and knives
11:14Realised the growing use of tuning forks
11:17In the field of medicine and saw an opportunity
11:20So is this musical for pianos?
11:23Predominantly they are musical yes
11:25Tuning forks actually are also for medical applications
11:27Right
11:28Your GPs will all have one of these
11:30Because it's the initial test they'll do
11:32To find out whether or not somebody can hear properly or not
11:35In the 1800s otologists including Heinrich Adolf Rinna
11:41Began using the tuning fork to test hearing
11:43Placing it against the bone behind the ear
11:46To assess sound conduction
11:48His test is still used today
11:50But the tuning fork's story doesn't stop there
11:54Now when you go and have your tyres balanced
11:57They're using a machine in there
11:58And that machine will have been calibrated with a tuning fork
12:00Just as every speed camera will have also been calibrated with a tuning fork
12:05So how do you make it ring?
12:07Well one of the best ways is to strike it on an object
12:09All right, can I do it?
12:14You certainly can
12:15Still not as good as yours
12:19Still not as good as yours
12:21Ah
12:22We're getting there
12:23Practice makes a little bit
12:24Do you want to do it?
12:25Thank you
12:26Really?
12:29It's good isn't it?
12:30Pitch perfect
12:32Naturally
12:34Every year around 15,000 tuning forks are made right here
12:38This is where it all happens
12:40Shaped, tuned and tested under one roof
12:43Before heading off to concert halls, classrooms, clinics and even the odd sound bath
12:50So what are they all doing and how many are there?
12:53Well there's seven operatives in total
12:55Seven?
12:56First of all there'll be milling
12:57And then there's blinding, glazing, polishing
13:01Then there's the very finishing aspects of it
13:03Can you say that again? I can't hear you, it's a bit loud in here
13:06To create the perfect pitch, precision is at the heart of production
13:11Margie and Danny are about to get a lesson in the fine art of fine tuning
13:16Hi Dave
13:17Ah, so this is the filing polishing area
13:19So you're testing the frequency
13:21I'm doing the frequency
13:26That's the frequency meter
13:28Right
13:29The more you file it, the higher the frequency
13:31The higher the frequency
13:32Where do you like to go?
13:33Right
13:34Now then
13:35Get your file
13:36I've never done any filing before
13:38On my nails
13:39Yeah
13:40Well there you go
13:41From manicures to musical notes
13:43Put your back into it Marge
13:45Now you think you've got enough up there?
13:47Yeah
13:48Put it on
13:50You've not took a grain off
13:52Do you want to try?
13:53Come on you
13:54Give us it to you
13:55Stand back
13:56Maestro in the making
14:00Pump
14:03Nearly
14:04Still not quite right
14:05Still not quite right is it?
14:06Not quite
14:07We're not destined for this job are we?
14:08I'll leave that with you
14:09Keep up the good work
14:10Thank you
14:11Thank you
14:14From humble beginnings over 300 years ago
14:17The tuning fork has evolved into a remarkably versatile tool
14:21And one that continues to resonate across science, sound and beyond
14:30Back on the road, a moment of calm
14:34This is rather sceny
14:35Oh look, lambs
14:36Little lambs
14:37Oh mudgy
14:38Little
14:39Before an old bugbear rears its head
14:42Oh mudgy
14:43Oh that mudge
14:44We've got another one now
14:45Does anybody else get your name wrong?
14:46No
14:47Do you know if I go to your hometown and I see you
14:50Yes
14:51And I shouted out
14:52MUDGE
14:53You'd probably think I know who that is
14:56I should have walked on by
14:57Bye
14:58A rose by any other name would smell as sweet
15:01Night night you two
15:09Next morning Danny's in the driving seat
15:12So Margie
15:13Another day
15:14Another dollar
15:15Revved up and ready for more
15:17Yesterday Margie scooped up a Victorian ceiling fixture
15:22And an Art Deco opalescent plate
15:25I've won a trophy
15:27Leaving her with 145 big ones to spend today
15:31Danny meanwhile fell for the bulldog figure
15:34And an earnest race antelope chair
15:37Bit of iconicness here
15:39Bit of iconicness
15:40Leaving him with just 110 pounds in his kitty for today
15:44Another day of shopping beckons
15:49Music to their ears
15:51If we had a band I mean
15:53Well you'd call it MD wouldn't you?
15:55DM
15:56Or we could call it
15:58Danmudge
15:59Damage
16:00Yeah Damage
16:01Come and see Damage
16:02At the town hall this Saturday
16:04Rocking the night away
16:06Count me in
16:07Our headliners on tour
16:10Are heading south
16:11Crossing into Derbyshire
16:13And the East Midlands bound for Chesterfield
16:16A historic town
16:18Home to an 800 year old market
16:20And its famously crooked 13th century church spire
16:24Today's stomping ground is Chesterfield Antique Centre
16:28Danny's not wasting any time
16:30And there's Margie look
16:32Hot on his heels
16:33Inside it's a cornucopia of collectibles
16:36Vintage
16:37Antiques
16:38And hidden treasures
16:39Spread across three floors
16:41Always loads to see as always
16:44Perfect for a proper rummage
16:46Danny's also on the hunt
16:50Armed with 110 pounds and a habit of popping up where you least expect him
16:56Great decoration
16:58Indian brass topped tables
17:01Shame it's just priced too much for me
17:03195 pound
17:04Well that's put a lid on it
17:08Ah
17:09I don't know what that is
17:13It's a Victorian ladies skirt lifter
17:18Right?
17:19Perhaps you should explain
17:21It works like a suspender
17:22The string would be on your belt
17:25So that you could just pull it
17:26And then it would pull your skirt up
17:28And keep you out of all the disgusting mess
17:31That you'd find on a Victorian pavement
17:34Or maybe a cycling or something like that
17:36Probably would be more for the lady of the house
17:39There's even a maker's name on this
17:41But I do see quite a lot of them
17:43And I don't think there's any mileage for a profit in that
17:47But I always, they always make me smile
17:50I don't know why
17:51It's the little things that get under your petticoat
17:55Meanwhile Danny has made his way upstairs
17:58A lot of wood up here
17:59Furniture heaven
18:01Ooh
18:02Plenty of great designs
18:04Just not in Danny's price bracket
18:08Perfect
18:09Nothing wrong with that
18:11Chin Chin
18:12And off to auction is on the outside
18:15He's passing Margie on the inside
18:17He's on his way through
18:18He's going to get to the
18:19Oh Margie
18:20There you go
18:21How are you?
18:22If ever a woman suffered on this road trip
18:25Is that your, what's it called?
18:26Well I'm thinking about buying it
18:28Oh are you?
18:29This one's called off to auction
18:30Right
18:31That's the name of the horse, off to auction
18:33And
18:34It's going to win the programme for you
18:36Something's got it because I know class
18:38It brings fairy tales again, innit?
18:40Bye
18:43There he goes
18:44Galloping off to his happily ever after
18:48Back to business
18:49And Margie's on the ascent
18:51More stairs
18:53Because in every good fairy tale
18:55The real magic's always hidden in the attic
19:00Right
19:01Ooh
19:02Look at this
19:03Crikey
19:04Cast iron
19:06Are you ready?
19:07Oh my goodness
19:09That is
19:10That is
19:11A romany
19:12Cast iron
19:13Hanging kettle
19:14So it would be outside
19:15Wouldn't it?
19:16It's a four gallon one
19:17Big family
19:18It'll be about
19:191880
19:20Sort of get this white
19:22Enid blight
19:23Sort of comes to mind
19:25Stories
19:26And a brew
19:27Got a brass tap
19:28I just think it's an interesting pot that
19:31And it's got the maker's name on it
19:33Which is quite nice
19:35Archibald Kenrick and sons of West Bromwich
19:38Were a major 18th century iron foundry
19:42Employing hundreds
19:43Renowned for its quality cast iron goods
19:46And a name that's still known today
19:49Doesn't seem to be too dear at 65
19:52What do you think Margie Cooper?
19:54Will it be a yay or a nay?
19:56I just like the fact that it's an antique
19:58Only problem is
19:59Am I going to be able to carry it down those two
20:02Two flights of stairs?
20:03As the man in the neckerchief might say
20:07Don't you worry about that
20:09I feel a dealer brewing
20:11Time for a chinwag with owner Wendy
20:14Right, Wendy
20:16I've had a jolly good look round
20:18And I've seen upstairs
20:19That Romani tea kettle
20:21Really heavy thing
20:22Right, yep, the cast iron one
20:23Yeah, and you've got like 65 on it
20:25It's worrying me a bit
20:27Hmm
20:29Yes, how much can it be?
20:30It
20:31Can be
20:33Today for you
20:34£30
20:35Oh, that's lovely
20:36That's fine, yeah
20:37I'll just get my money out quickly
20:39No hanging around here
20:42Thank you
20:43Thanks Wendy, that was very kind
20:44Pleasure
20:45And a farewell to Margie with £115
20:47Bye
20:48Still in the kitty
20:50Now then, let's catch up with Mr Danny
20:52And his hooking and poking up in the loft
20:55Now, this is what I'm looking for
21:02This is an Art Deco 1930s beveled edge mirror
21:06Priced at £35
21:08So I do like this kind of cut glass
21:11Faceted edge on it
21:12You generally just have a plain edge
21:14Which is the bevelled edge
21:15But this one's just a little bit more expensive looking
21:18You generally find that a lot of these Art Deco mirrors as well
21:21They come in like blue
21:22They've got coloured glass on them
21:24So you'd either have blue, amber, maybe even a yellow
21:29The price goes up then
21:30This one's quite a plain one
21:32But
21:33Something's caught his eye
21:35Oh, it's got a fabulous
21:37You know the best part of it, don't you?
21:38When you look in it and you see the reflection
21:40That's the best part of this mirror
21:42A plain mirror reflecting greatness
21:46It's too much Eddie
21:47It's too much
21:48Never enough, some might say
21:51A priceless vision
21:53Nice that
21:54Now, all he needs is a price
21:57That mirrors his budget
21:58A visit to Wendy is on the cards
22:00There's the lady I'm looking to see
22:02What can we do for you?
22:03Wendy, in the loft
22:05Just as you've got top upstairs
22:07There's an old mirror
22:09I think it's got a ticket price of it of £35
22:12Now, I'm known for being cheeky
22:14And I'm going to be very cheeky now, Wendy
22:15I wouldn't expect anything less
22:18His reputation precedes him
22:20Will you take a tenner?
22:24I'll take £15
22:26How did I know you were going to say that?
22:28We take £12, doesn't?
22:29Yes
22:30You'll do £12?
22:31We'll do £12
22:33Oh, good with that
22:35Almost two thirds off the ticket price
22:37That leaves Danny with £98 still to spend
22:41£3
22:42Thank you very much
22:44Thank you, Danny
22:46Who says cheek doesn't pay, eh?
22:48But not so fast
22:50There's still one more task
22:51Before reuniting with your chum
22:53Margie Cooper
22:55There you are
22:57This weighs an absolute tonne
22:59I'll tell you what, I'll take the lid
23:01I'll tell you something
23:03You're indebted to me for life
23:05Now, where's the motor?
23:06If it's not parked up a hill
23:08Oh, gosh
23:10Back on the road
23:12And talk has turned from antiques to attire
23:15You dress like your personality
23:17You're a flamboyant dresser and it suits you
23:19I'm not
23:21You've got a bright yellow jacket on
23:23You don't get your wear out of flamboyant clothes
23:25Hey, I do
23:27You drag that out in three years' time
23:29I'm not bothered
23:31Everybody's yawning
23:33Well, one thing's for sure
23:35There's nothing boring about the banter in this car
23:38Our dapper double act
23:40Is crossing into Nottinghamshire
23:42To the town of Mansfield
23:44In the Mourne Valley
23:46A market town
23:48Once a royal retreat and gateway to Sherwood Forest
23:50It has a heritage almost as storied as Robin Hood himself
23:54Today's hunting ground is Victoria Antique Centre
23:57And in full swing already
23:58Our lovable rogue, Danny
24:01No bow or arrow in sight
24:0398 smackers still in his pocket
24:05And a floor space stuffed to the gills
24:07Got to be careful in places like these
24:09It's that packed, you can't see the wood for the trees
24:12Or the ticks for the tocks for that matter
24:15Dealer Pete seems to know his way around though
24:18This is nice, it's a sports car flob watch
24:23Yeah, it makes me think that somebody that was buying back in the day
24:27An MG or something of that description, Sportster
24:32They'd probably get this thrown in as a bit of a sweetener
24:36Very nice, it seems to be working, it's ticking away
24:39Round about 1960s, made in Germany
24:43Great condition
24:44Made by UMF Ruler
24:47A watch brand founded in the 19th century
24:50In the German village of the same name
24:52Who became pioneers of the world's first mass-produced watches
24:57Quite collectible of fob watches
24:59And this one's quite a rarity really
25:01Being with the tyre around it
25:03Lovely glass cover, it looks like an enamel face
25:06Priced at £75
25:09Sports car style at a fraction of the price
25:11I quite like that
25:13Don't quite know whether it'll go with the car I've got outside
25:16A low-riding timepiece
25:19Lincoln presidential town car
25:22Might not suit it, but
25:24It'd look nice on the quay, that's for sure
25:26Sounds like Danny's revved up
25:29With eyes on the prize
25:31That may well be one for the auction
25:33A timely find
25:35Elsewhere in Nottinghamshire
25:36Margie's next stop
25:38Is the historic town of Newark-on-Trent
25:41Or Newark for short
25:43Once a royalist stronghold in the Civil War
25:46It's now a peaceful haven of castle ruins and canal boats
25:50It also boasts Europe's largest antiques market
25:54The perfect playground for our intrepid treasure hunter Margie
25:58Who's about to step into Newark Chapel Antique Centre
26:00Set in a former chapel and school room
26:03Dating from 1823
26:05It's the perfect setting for Margie's final antique pilgrimage
26:09Packed with curios and collectibles galore
26:12Ooh!
26:14Very smart
26:161950s travelling drinks cabinet
26:18And I've never seen one
26:20And what makes it particularly nice is these frosted bottles
26:22But there's one problem for me
26:25Because I haven't got enough money
26:27Ticket price of £120
26:30Margie's a fiver short
26:32It's nice to see something that you've not seen before
26:35And I haven't seen one of those before
26:37Just the ticket for travel tipples
26:39But Margie's budget is flying economy
26:42Onwards she must travel
26:44Right
26:46Ooh!
26:48This!
26:50A doctor's bag
26:52This is a Gladstone bag
26:53Paul Jay Gardner and son from Edinburgh
26:54Obviously suppliers to the hospitals and the physicians
26:59Lovely quality
27:01This has been a really, really expensive bag
27:03Why does it feel so heavy?
27:06Ooh!
27:08We've got a secret section underneath
27:10And out comes this
27:12Which is a sterilising copper container
27:15And in it we have
27:18The dreaded forceps
27:21Ooh!
27:23Essential in midwifery to assist with childbirth
27:27A hundred years ago
27:29Most of the births were home births
27:31Your doctor would come in
27:33And give you a helping hand
27:35And forceps are when obviously the baby's struggling to come out
27:38So we can go to the forceps
27:40Out comes the baby
27:41And
27:43Great care has to be taken all round
27:45It's 95 pounds
27:47So I think this is quite an interesting thing
27:49A very interesting thing
27:51Hey, wait till Danny sees these
27:54Pride him to death
27:56These will have him running for the hills
28:00Now over to the unsuspecting patient in Mansfield
28:03Thank you
28:05Still on the clock
28:09Now look at this
28:13Now these are right up my alley
28:15The old ten-pin bowling balls
28:17I mean this looks like a fairly old one
28:20But it's got its own little stand
28:23And there's more here
28:28Now this one looks like quite a good one
28:29It's called Brunswick
28:32Very big name in the bowling alley world
28:35Makers of bowling balls since 1906
28:38Black diamond
28:40Sounds like a good model
28:43And it's got
28:45Oh look at that ticket in there
28:47Ninety-nine pence per person
28:49So that just goes to show you how old this is
28:51Oh you've got a pair of shoes in the bottom
28:53I mean it's a bit tatty but
28:55Still enough charm to bowl Danny over
29:00They're old
29:02Oh they're a pair of lawn bowls in there as well
29:04Just his sort of carry-on
29:07Bags of bowls
29:09Ready to roll
29:11Do you know something else?
29:12I'll be leaving Margie in the gutter
29:14Sounds like Danny is preparing to strike a deal with Pete
29:18Hi Pete
29:20There he is
29:21How are you?
29:22I'm fine thanks
29:24I'm very well
29:25There's a little fob watch
29:27It's a little car fob watch
29:29It's on a tyre
29:31It's in one of the cabinets just round the back there
29:34Yeah
29:35£75 price that
29:37Yeah I can cook down on that
29:40Do I need to take a seat?
29:41No
29:43Could you do 40 quid?
29:45I could do 45
29:48Could you do 40?
29:49Don't
29:5240 quid now hold on
29:54Me hands still there
29:55I know it is
29:57Those bowls what's best on them lot?
29:59The fiver
30:00For the lot
30:02I'll take that
30:03Okay thanks
30:04I'll take that
30:06Clean sweep
30:0740 for the little time piece
30:09And he's bagged a whole lot of bowls for a fiver
30:1145 big ones all in
30:13Ha! What a strike eh?
30:14Pete you're an absolute star
30:15Okay thanks
30:16Cheers Pete
30:17I'll go and collect it
30:19Leaving Danny with £53 unspent
30:22And one thing on his mind
30:30Yes!
30:32That's how you do it
30:34Antique hunter by trade
30:36Ali King at heart
30:39Now let's see if Margie's getting bowled over in Newark
30:45Let me have a look
30:47What we got here
30:49Oh I like these
30:51These are um
30:53A rather large perfume bottle
30:54Which I think they're for window displays
30:56Aren't they?
30:57Art Deco
30:58Here
31:00Romanian
31:01But I think
31:02I think that's
31:04A Czech glass company
31:07And there is a small
31:08Oh yeah there's a small
31:09Small mark here
31:10Desna
31:12Desna is a brand of glass
31:14From Czechia
31:16Formerly known as Bohemia
31:18It's an area long synonymous with fine glass making
31:21And celebrated for its traditional craftsmanship
31:24Till the end of the 19th century
31:28Perfume was organic
31:30Right?
31:31But then with the advances in chemistry
31:34They then became synthetic
31:36The smells were more powerful
31:37And of course
31:39We all love our perfume
31:40Don't we?
31:42Is the ticket price a sweet?
31:44It was £59
31:45It's £48
31:47I think that's really attractive
31:49I think I might buy this
31:51Who can resist a dab of scent
31:53And a dash of deco glamour
31:55Time for a chat perhaps
31:56With dealer Annie
31:57Annie
31:58I've found two items
32:00That's one of them
32:01There's already been a reduction on that
32:02But
32:03Alright okay
32:04Is there a chance of a little more easing?
32:07Oh
32:08Well how about £38
32:10That's super
32:11Yeah okay yeah
32:12The other item is the Gladstone bag
32:14You know the doctor's bag
32:16That's £95
32:18Now that's all battered
32:20So how much can that be?
32:21Erm
32:22With that one
32:24We could probably do it for £55
32:26Is that any good?
32:27That's fantastic
32:28Alright Dave
32:29Very generous deal
32:30£38 for the perfume bottle
32:32And £55 for the doctor's bag
32:34Complete with instruments of torture
32:36That's £93 in total
32:39There you go
32:40That's brilliant
32:41And thank you so much Annie
32:42Thank you
32:43You've been really helpful
32:44Leaving Margie with £22 unspent
32:46Off she trots to reunite with Danny
32:48All shopping now wrapped up
32:51Next stop
32:52The sale room
32:53So Margie
32:54We're going to London
32:55The smoke
32:56The big capital
32:57So we're going to your neck of the woods
32:59Absolutely
33:00I'll be like
33:01Bees in a honeypot
33:02And let's just hope
33:03They're just
33:04Bye bye bye
33:05Let's hope you
33:06Sell sell sell
33:07Time for some shut eye
33:14Auction day has arrived
33:15And it's the penultimate clash
33:17Of their best of five bout
33:19Today's the bout
33:20No I'm just
33:21I'm just having a bit of luck
33:22It's a bit of luck at times
33:23Well I actually thought exactly that
33:25But today
33:27Margie
33:28It's your day
33:29It is my day
33:30No it's not
33:31Good luck to both of you
33:32Our pair
33:33After a fruitful jaunt
33:34Through Sheffield
33:35And the East Midlands
33:36Have arrived in North London
33:38Gearing up for auction
33:39At Southgate Auction Rooms
33:42The goods are getting the once over
33:44With bidders in the room
33:45On the phones and online
33:46Presiding over it all today
33:49Is gavel wielder
33:50Bill Carroll
33:51There's the hammer
33:52You have been warned
33:53Margie forked out
33:56£178 on five auction lots
33:59Anything you like Bill?
34:00Do you know what I like
34:02Is the kettle
34:03It's a great item
34:04It's an interesting item
34:05And it is a piece
34:07Of Romany history
34:08So watch this space
34:10Danny parted with a bit less
34:13£147 for his five lots
34:16Any standouts Bill?
34:18Ernest Race
34:19He's a very interesting guy indeed
34:21And his stuff does change hands
34:22For quite a considerable amount of money
34:24Well that's music to the ears
34:26Let's get going
34:27Margie come on
34:28And keep everything crossed for our chums
34:31How are you feeling?
34:32Great

34:35Oh am I ready?
34:37He'd better be
34:38Danny's kicking things off
34:40With the little bulldog
34:41Hoping for a bite of the cherry
34:44There's got to be a profit in that
34:45I mean it's got to double its money
34:47Good

35:17And the auctioneer's pick

36:23Now onto Margie's next lot
36:25A Gladstone bag
36:26Fully equipped for house calls
36:28This is a doctor's bag
36:30With a difference
36:31It's got a hole in it
36:32In the bottom
36:34You pull out a sterilising copper unit
36:37With forceps in
36:38Danny's face says it all
36:40We've got 50 in
36:41Is there 55?

36:50At £50
36:51Last chance
36:52And fair warning
36:53Oh
36:55That's disappointing
36:56I've lost a whole £5
36:58I'm glad I bought it
37:00I'm glad you bought it as well
37:02A small incision in the profits
37:05No anaesthetic required

37:09No
37:10Time to swiftly roll on thank you
37:13Here's something to bowl over the dudes
37:15Danny's collection of vintage bowls
37:17Shoes and carrier bag
37:18The whole kit and caboodle
37:20They're a lot better than what they look

37:25Ha ha ha ha
37:27Strike one
37:28£20

37:44Keep those profits rolling in
37:47Oh margin
37:49Marge

37:57Right then
37:58How about a dash of Art Deco decadence
38:00Margie's perfume bottle is next in the spotlight

38:09Is there £35?
38:10£30 is now in the room
38:12Oh dear
38:13I think you've lost it here
38:14At £30
38:15Are you pleased or disappointed?
38:18Please just please
38:19Just please
38:20Oh no
38:21No I'm not
38:22That will do
38:23Don't answer my question
38:24No that will do
38:25Now be nice
38:26Still smiling
38:27Even without the whiff of profit
38:29Oh unlucky there Marge
38:31Unlucky
38:32No honestly
38:33Oh Margie
38:34That smile just softens me
38:36Here comes that double act comedy duo again
38:39Danny's penultimate lot next

39:03I'm sorry
39:04Not a loss
39:05Not a loss
39:06Not a loss
39:07Well it didn't exactly raise the head either
39:09But it crossed the line
39:10Are you disappointed?
39:11I am a little bit
39:12And you know something about losing?
39:14It's character building
39:16Strike two
39:18One more
39:19And Margie's bowled herself a turkey
39:21It's put your money where your mouth is time for Margie
39:24With her Izan opalescent plate
39:27I thought this was really beautiful
39:29It's a nice painting
39:30Yeah it is
39:31It caught my eye
39:32Beautiful it is

39:59Margie well done
40:01That was alright
40:02Well done
40:03It started at £10
40:04Scary
40:05That certainly caused a flutter in the cell room
40:08Cracking profit
40:10I tell you what I'm getting a bit worried
40:12I am
40:13I am
40:14You know when my voice goes squeaky and all the worries coming out
40:18Hitting new octaves must mean crunch time
40:22Danny's final fling
40:23The earnest race antelope chair
40:25We've got a starting bid of £60
40:27£100
40:28£100 we have
40:30There you go

40:34Get in or lose out
40:35£110
40:36Is there £120?
40:38I know but it's backed up your knowledge there
40:41Well done
40:42At £100
40:43And £10
40:44I can't contain myself
40:46A tidy boost for Danny's final sale
40:51And that leaps him into the lead
40:53That might have won me the day
40:55It just might
40:56And it might not
40:57Nothing ruffles Margie's feathers
41:00Now it all hinges on her final lot
41:03Will this Victorian heavyweight go through the roof?
41:06We have £40
41:09Is there £45?
41:11Profit
41:12£50
41:13£55

41:45There is £140
41:46£150
41:47Is there £160
41:48£160
41:49Oh no
41:50Last chance
41:51Unfair fair warning
41:52You've done it again
41:53on a high note.
41:55You sealed it with that, I think.
41:56But let's go and do the maths.
41:58Shall we? Can't you do them in your head?
41:59I'm not that good a mathematician.
42:01Come on.
42:02Leave it with me.
42:04I'll have that tallied up faster than a gavel hits the block.
42:07After a rarer coaster of bids and after several costs,
42:11Danny chalked up a modest profit of £14.60.
42:15But Margie, also after costs,
42:18and thanks to a couple of stellar sales,
42:20finished today with a profit of £93.80,
42:24making her today's winner yet again.
42:27That's four on the trot.
42:29All accumulated profits at the end of the week
42:31will go to children in need.
42:35So it's happened again.
42:38I'm having the luck of the Irish, aren't I?
42:41I think...
42:43Or is it you making a mess of it?
42:44No, it's not me making a mess of it.
42:46Oh, Margie.
42:47The last laugh is still up for grabs.
42:53Next time, it's the final countdown.
42:56Here we go again.
42:57Let's get cracking.
42:59Margie and Danny get suited up.
43:01Danny can dangle his hat on that.
43:03One more battle.
43:05Don't worry, nothing's broken.
43:07And their last hurrah.
43:09I'll give you a high five when you're driving.
43:12Oh, that'll do.
43:12One more battle.
43:13See you next time.
43:13Bye.
43:14Bye.
43:14Bye.
43:23Bye.
43:25Bye.
43:31Bye.
43:36You
