00:01It's the nation's favourite antiques experts
00:04Buying the wheel of a classic car
00:06This car dancing!
00:08And a gold to scar Britain for antiques
00:11The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction
00:15But it's no mean feat
00:17There'll be worthy winners
00:19Tickety-boo
00:20And valiant losers
00:21Oh dear
00:22Will 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
00:33Yeah
00:36Ready you Sporans
00:37We're in Scotland
00:39And there's Margie Cooper
00:40Primed for adventure
00:45With company on the way
00:48Mr Cool himself
00:49Oh my
00:52What do you think of this bad boy?
00:54The perfect car for Dunny Sebastian
00:58That's a 1991 Lincoln Town Car Presidential Edition no less
01:02It's fantastic
01:03This car dances
01:06A car with swagger and suspension to match
01:10We are going to have so much fun in this
01:12What?
01:13Get in, you're driving
01:16Why does it go up and down?
01:18Is that the suspension?
01:18It dances
01:19It dances
01:23Ready?
01:23Ready
01:25Ready
01:27Ready to roll?
01:28What a trip this is going to be
01:30I feel like a driving instructor
01:33It's the start of a sparkling new journey
01:35And a fresh pairing
01:37You know
01:38I thought
01:38Who would I like to do the road trip with?
01:41And it were between
01:42God
01:43Marjorie Cooper
01:43Yeah
01:44And Marjorie Cooper
01:46The one and only
01:48Antiques dealer
01:49Silver
01:50Enthusiast
01:51And road trip royalty
01:52And ice cream lover
01:55Get out of it
01:56He's got the laughter
01:58Riding shotgun
01:59Is Danny Sebastian
02:01Former market trader turned
02:03Antiques dealer
02:03And a connoisseur of hats
02:05Cravats
02:06And a good deal
02:08Evening all
02:09So you're taller than I thought
02:11Six foot three
02:11Because I had seen a picture of you
02:13What did you think?
02:14It looks like trouble
02:15Oh well that's my middle name
02:18If it's trouble you're after
02:19You pick the right set of wheels
02:21A bona fide low rider
02:22An American classic
02:24This is
02:25Top of the tree
02:26I've forgotten that it's an American
02:28And I'm driving on the left hand side
02:30A left hooker as they call it in England
02:33I didn't even
02:34You didn't realise
02:35I didn't even realise
02:36I was that impressed with the whole car
02:39Let's get down to brass tacks
02:41200 pounds each per leg
02:43Five auctions to prove their mettle
02:45And only one can be crowned top dog at the end
02:48I want to make bloody profits
02:51Let's get to it then
02:53Their shopping kicks off in Scotland's central belt
02:56They'll hop the border into England
02:58Winding their way through the Lake District
03:00Then on to Yorkshire
03:01Before coming to a halt in Derbyshire
03:03By which time
03:04They'll have each other down to a fine art
03:08You're a bit posh
03:09You're so
03:11You're a bit posh
03:11I'm just trying to be posh
03:13How do?
03:16Oh lordy
03:17This leg sees our revellers rolling all the way to Rosebank
03:21In Lanarkshire
03:22But first
03:23They're weaving their way to the textile titan
03:26That is paisley
03:28Fame not only for its iconic designs
03:30Even Queen Victoria was a fan
03:32But also for its wealth of listed buildings
03:34Including its 850 year old abbey
03:37Just the town for our duo to stitch together some fine finds
03:41Beginning at Bailey's Antiques
03:43There it is
03:44Well it looks... it looks good
03:46Hold on
03:47Thank you very much
03:48What a gentleman
03:49You thought I was trying to rush in front didn't you?
03:51I did
03:51As if
03:53Their first port of call is a treasure trove of all things vintage and antique
03:57An eclectic mix of furniture, knickknacks and curiosities you never even knew you needed
04:02There's no telling what our pair will uncover
04:07On hand to assist is owner Ben
04:09Hi Ben
04:12Ah
04:12I love these
04:14This obviously has been hiding somewhere
04:17I love a bit of cobweb
04:19Coopering is the art of creating caskets and barrels
04:22And I'm always drawn to them because I'm a cooper
04:26And there are two kinds of coopers
04:28There's the slack cooper
04:30Don't laugh
04:32Perish the thought
04:33There's the tight cooper
04:35And the slack cooper would just make the normal barrel
04:37And he could probably knock out about 10 in a day
04:39But the tight cooper, he was the master
04:42Gunpowder, wine, flour had to be kept dry
04:46So it was essential that he managed to keep it tight
04:51And free from all the outside world
04:54It's an old object
04:56And now it's useful for putting your umbrellas in
04:59Putting your sticks in
05:00It's 20 quid
05:03I have bought this before and done quite well
05:05But somehow or other I think I'm going to walk past this
05:08Of course, nothing compares to a real cooper
05:12Eh Margie?
05:13Speaking of real deals
05:15Now then
05:17What's he spotted?
05:19It's quite nice actually
05:20It's like a Scottish thistle
05:21It's a pendant
05:22So it's obviously come off a chain
05:24It's got a hallmark on it
05:26Lovely condition
05:27Maybe 1920s
05:29Something like that
05:29Fair bit of weight
05:31It's just
05:32It's such a small little piece
05:34That it needs something else to go with it
05:37Fifteen pounds on the ticket
05:39Anything else?
05:41How about that little ring just beside it?
05:43I'm getting this kind of lion, dragon kind of feeling from it
05:47Look at that
05:48It's definitely a stand-alone piece
05:52It's very well made
05:53I just cannot see the hallmark
05:55I can't see for the life of me exactly what the date is
05:59But if I'm honest, I'm not that bothered
06:01I don't think you'll see another one
06:04And that's really got me
06:06Me juices boiling to be honest
06:09Priced up at £30
06:10Not going to be hasty
06:12Take your time
06:13Think about it
06:14There's an interest
06:17Some plans are afoot, methinks
06:20Let's find your pal
06:26The things you find in antique shelves
06:28I'm excited
06:30It's for carpet fitters, isn't it?
06:32They come to your house
06:33And they fit the carpet
06:34And you hear all this thundering going on
06:37And they kick with the knee
06:38To get the carpet right up to the skirting board
06:41Which is why it's called a knee kicker
06:43You know how much she is?
06:44Drum roll, please
06:46Three quid
06:48Bargain
06:49Ah, the things that turn up
06:51Amazing
06:53Perhaps we'll sweep that one under the carpet for now
06:55And see what your partner in crime is doing
06:59Ah
07:01Margerita
07:02You like that, don't you?
07:03I do
07:04Shall we have a toast?
07:05Yeah, to our trip
07:06To our trip
07:08Good luck
07:08Thank you
07:09Do you think our profits will be enough to fill?
07:11I don't know if yours will, but mine definitely will
07:13Keep on working
07:15Let's get back to the task at hand, shall we?
07:20Interesting
07:23Looks to be a little smoker's cabinet
07:25Made of oak
07:26Turn of the century, I'd have said
07:28It actually looks to me to be scratch-built, handmade
07:32You put your pipes in here
07:34You can imagine, can't you?
07:36Back in sort of like early 20th century or 1920
07:39Somebody who's got quite a bit of money
07:42Would have something like this
07:44Smoking cabinets or companions were designed to hold
07:47All manner of smoking paraphernalia
07:49When it was less of a dirty habit
07:52And more of a fashion statement
07:56Two lovely little drawers inside
08:00All dovetail jointed
08:02So, quite well made to be honest
08:05Hold on a minute
08:06This is dodgy
08:09You can hear it rattle
08:10And it locks itself
08:11As and when it pleases
08:12So, that's something that needs to be addressed
08:16But, it's quite nice
08:18If I could nick this for about 20 quid
08:20I'd be an happy bunny
08:22He'll be hoping to smoke out the competition with that one
08:26Meanwhile, Margie still needs to get her hands on something
08:30Right Ben, I've had a good look round
08:32Looking for a silver
08:33I have got some just in it
08:36Right, can I have a look?
08:37Yeah, of course
08:38Don't mind a rummage
08:39No, don't mind a rummage
08:41Positively relishes it actually
08:43A little silver charms
08:44Yeah, they're quite sweet
08:45They're quite back in fashion aren't they?
08:46I think, yeah, people like this
08:47If you put those on a chain
08:49Phew, that wouldn't make a bracelet wouldn't it?
08:51I think so, yeah
08:531950s
08:54So, sweet little ladies
08:57Silver-backed fog watch
08:58With no fingers
09:00Yeah, you could wear it as a pendant
09:01Yeah, yeah, yeah
09:02That's quite nice
09:03And the face is good isn't it?
09:04Yeah, yeah
09:04And then I've just spotted this
09:06Which is a rather nice little
09:08Yeah, that is nice
09:09Again, a little plait
09:10Is it the silver?
09:11Yeah, it is silver
09:12I think it's Scottish though
09:13Yeah, Scottish
09:13I like a bit of Scottish
09:14Seems like I'm in Scotland
09:16Exactly
09:16It's hallmarked
09:17Yeah
09:17It's a nice thing
09:18So maybe if I put all that together
09:20Three
09:21I'd probably be looking for £40
09:25For the three
09:26That just takes me over the price point
09:28You know this price point, isn't there?
09:30Okay
09:30What are we thinking?
09:32£35
09:32I think that's fair
09:33Yeah, I think I'll
09:34I'd be happy with £35
09:36Me too
09:36If you are
09:37I am happy, yeah
09:37That's a good deal
09:38That's marvellous, well thank you very much
09:40Nicely done Margie
09:41A dainty little pile of charming silver
09:43For a not too shabby
09:45£35
09:46Ben, thank you so much
09:48Thank you, good luck
09:49Leaving £165 still in the kitty
09:52Can't remember where I parked the car
09:54Don't worry
09:55Just follow the crowds
09:58One down Ben
10:00Danny is hot on Margie's heels
10:02Hey Ben
10:03Hello
10:03Brace yourself
10:04See if we can have a deal
10:05Okay, off we go
10:06Well we've got these two pieces here
10:08I'm very interested in them
10:10And I'm also interested in the smoker's cabinet
10:12Now you know, don't you, that the smoker's cabinet
10:15It needs a little bit of work
10:16It does
10:17It's a little bit tired
10:18There's no price on it
10:19I think
10:19I had £30 on the cabinet
10:22£30 on the ring
10:24£15 on the pendant
10:26That's £75 in total
10:29I might have to sit down here, might I?
10:31The cabinet, £20
10:32I'm happy to go £20
10:33Because it is a bit tired
10:35And probably the same for the ring as well
10:37You can do a bit better than that
10:38I can probably
10:39I could go to £15
10:41£15 for the ring
10:42Tell you what I'm going to do
10:43A Scottish Fissle
10:44To the side
10:44Okay, no problem
10:45What's your best on your smoker's cabinet?
10:48£20
10:49£20
10:49I'll buy that at £20
10:50And how much is this?
10:51I could go £15 on the ring
10:53£15, and I love that
10:54That's £35 for the two
10:55Perfect, yeah
10:56Ah, generous deal
10:58£20 for the cabinet and £15 for the ring
11:00Perfect
11:01Leaving Danny with £165 and two items in the bag
11:05Good luck with everything
11:06Thank you
11:06Cheers Ben
11:07Off you go
11:08To reunite with Margie
11:10Thank you
11:10Let's hope
11:11She found the car
11:16Danny, you're a blank canvas
11:18I don't really know you at all
11:19I know you
11:20I've done my own work
11:22Now do you know something?
11:23I think you're a right Bonnie lass
11:24I do
11:26You're a model
11:27Oh, that's years ago
11:30Decades ago
11:31And you're a journalist
11:32As you go through life
11:34You do all sorts of different things
11:35And this is the best
11:37Sitting in a motor with me
11:38Sitting in a motor with me
11:39With Danny Sebastian
11:40You've got very kind eyes, Danny
11:41Oh, I'll take that
11:42You have?
11:43You've got kind eyes
11:44Like a donkey
11:46What she gives with one hand
11:48She takes with the other
11:50Onwards to the heart of Scotland
11:52Where the lowlands meet the Highlands
11:54Stirling
11:57Steeped in history and tales of Wallace and Bruce
11:59It's a place of battles past
12:01And hopefully for Danny, bargains present
12:04Out
12:06Revivo
12:07Furniture shop
12:09Right
12:10Someone's got a spring in their step
12:11Amid a maze of furniture and armed with a healthy £165
12:16Danny's freed her Phyllis boots
12:18With all manner of curios, trinkets and treasures
12:23Keeping everything in check
12:24That'll be owner Thomas
12:25Dealer by day
12:26And harmonica player by heart
12:29BELL RINGS
12:30BELL RINGS
12:31BELL RINGS
12:34BELL RINGS
12:35BELL RINGS
12:35It was?
12:37I applaud your diligence, sir
12:39BELL RINGS
12:40Clearly Danny is following suit
12:43Captive audience, eh?
12:48Hey what, in everybody's front room, on the mantelpiece
12:51You found a bit of Dalton
12:54It was very, very desirable
12:56But, you can't sell them
12:59These days, people don't want it
13:00They want things that are bright and vibrant
13:02Maybe a little bit quirky
13:04And, unfortunately, these are just not that anymore
13:09They're yesterday's antiques
13:10Close your ears, ladies
13:12And quickly
13:13Da-da-da-da
13:15Ah, more ceramics
13:16Flightly bigger
13:17A touch more rugged
13:20When it comes to mid-century pottery
13:22You can't beat a bit of West German
13:261970s
13:27I mean, there's always better than others
13:29If you're looking at the ones
13:30That are more brightly sort of coloured
13:33With oranges and blues
13:34They're the ones that's more favourable
13:36But, of course
13:37When you get ones that are more favourable
13:39You get ones that are more pricey
13:41There's such a wide variation
13:44I mean, here's another one here
13:46Always check, make sure
13:49What a lovely ring
13:50You generally find
13:52That if it's got a crack in it somewhere
13:53There's a right dull sound
13:55There's a possibility of buying these
13:57If the price is right
13:58But for the minute
13:59Keep on looking
14:00No ticket price
14:02So a plan B is a good idea
14:04Let's leave Danny to his digging
14:06And catch up with Margie on the road
14:09Time to hear what she really thinks
14:11Of her new rival
14:13Oh, well
14:14Why do you always want to laugh
14:15When you say the word Danny Sebastian?
14:19He's a real character, isn't he?
14:21He's very funny
14:22I'm enjoying his company
14:24Well, that's all great for the road trip
14:26But don't forget
14:27It is a competition
14:28If he absolutely wins every auction
14:31I might not like that very much
14:34Then you'd better bounce on to your next shopping stop
14:38Falkirk
14:40Where the statues are plentiful
14:42And the monuments are mighty
14:44Margie, you'll never get them in the boot
14:47You'll have to settle for the wares of Collectique Falkirk
14:52£165 at the ready
14:54In a shop that's been stocked to the gills
14:56With treasures by owner Yasmin
14:58Something for the Lincoln's dashboard, Margie
15:02Ah, old boy's toys here
15:07Ah, look at that
15:08Isn't that cute for a little kiddie?
15:11Back to business, if you please
15:15This looks interesting
15:18Copper
15:18Water jug, I think
15:22Someone's knocked seven bells out of this
15:24But
15:25That could easily be repaired
15:27Dating these things is not easy
15:29But this has got a good weight
15:31It's in good nick
15:33And it's got some
15:34It's got an interesting mark there
15:36GR
15:37George Rex
15:38So that's
15:39Probably George the third
15:40So it's old
15:41Very old
15:42I think there is a market for old
15:44And it's 45 quid
15:46Can you imagine that all cleaned up?
15:49And knocked out
15:51Nice
15:52That's the thought
15:53Early days
15:54How are things faring in Stirling?
15:57Where's an oil can when you need one, eh?
16:04Now we have come across a bit of cream
16:07Russian water urn
16:09Russian water urn
16:09I think the technical term is a
16:11Samovar
16:13A true antique
16:14Dating back to
16:16Round about the Regency period
16:18Which would have been about 1800
16:19Little bit of damage on here
16:21But
16:21I suppose you're going to expect damage
16:23It's practically 200 years old
16:25The Samovar
16:27The Samovar
16:28Russian for self boiler
16:29Was the go-to gadget for a proper brew
16:31In the 1800s
16:33After all
16:34No one likes cold tea
16:38What's it worth?
16:39Look at these lovely columns we've got here
16:41It's really hard for me to put a price on it
16:46It's a great detail on that face
16:51Maybe £40
16:53Yeah, if I can get that for £40 or under I'll be happy
16:57Sounds like a deal is brewing
17:00Right then
17:01Thomas
17:03Yes
17:03See what, I've got a few things in here that I like
17:06Well, I've found three West German pots
17:08Well, some of my favourites, are they?
17:10What sort of money would there be?
17:11For the three?
17:13Give me £60
17:14No, too dear that
17:16Remember that I've got to go to walks
17:17I'm not taking this home
17:18And putting it on a mantelpiece
17:19Let me see what else you're interested
17:22Now outside you've got
17:24A water urn
17:26Regency
17:27Correct
17:29I mean I was thinking round about
17:33Spit it out Danny
17:35I mean couldn't you do foot
17:36Foot
17:39As soon as you've seen it
17:40I was going to say
17:41I haven't even said it yet
17:42Might need to work a bit harder Danny
17:44Can you do it for £40, can you?
17:46You mean I have £50 on top of it
17:47And I'll reduce that
17:49The fuzzies with a £50
17:51So if I talk about
17:54£100
17:55You've got a deal
17:56£100 for both bits
17:58Yeah, I'll take that
17:59Nice one Tom
17:59I'll take that
18:00£100 all in?
18:01Yes
18:01Yeah, I'll take that
18:03Got there in the end then
18:04£45 for the Russian water urn
18:07And £55 for the vases
18:09Leaving Danny with 65 smackers still in his pocket
18:12Lovely
18:13Yeah
18:14Nice one
18:15Thank you very much
18:18Oh sugar
18:20I'll come back for that
18:21Aye
18:22After that deal
18:23You'll need a brew
18:25Let's find out how Margie is faring in Falkirk
18:28That's a cute little basket isn't it?
18:31Browsing isn't buying
18:33No purchases
18:34No profits
18:35No pressure Margie
18:36Come on
18:36Right what have we got here?
18:38Ah
18:39Now that's nice
18:40That's a
18:40Rather useful
18:42Silver plated
18:44Tray
18:45A silver plate over the years
18:46Last 20, 30 years
18:48Has really taken a hit
18:49But the tray is still a useful item
18:52And still saleable
18:53This is probably mid 20th century
18:561940s
18:57It's got a good weight
18:58Er
18:59It's
19:00It's a rather elaborate design
19:02It's £45
19:03So we can ease that a bit
19:05Yeah I think that's got a chance
19:08I think I might have a crack at it
19:09Oh yeah
19:10You'll need to work your silver tongue charm then
19:13Hi
19:14Yasmin
19:15Yes
19:15Today's a metal day
19:17Is it indeed?
19:18So we've got this one at 45
19:20It's a 45 day
19:22They've got 45 on that as well
19:24Right
19:24So
19:25What are you thinking?
19:26How about
19:27We'll do that for 25
19:29Yep
19:30And we'll do 20 on that
19:31Oh that's marvellous
19:32So we can make 45 for the two
19:33Yasmin thank you
19:33That's very generous
19:35You're more than welcome
19:35You're giving me a chance
19:37Bravo
19:37£45 for the pair slashes the ticket price in two
19:42A cracking discount from Yasmin
19:44Nice doing business with you
19:45Very nice
19:46Thank you
19:48Off she goes with a smile on her face
19:51And £120 still tucked in her pocket
19:55Time to catch up with your chum
19:58Well it's been a good day
19:59Any bargains?
20:01Very good purchases
20:03That's more likely
20:04Very good purchases
20:05Are you feeling confident with what you've got?
20:07Are you ever confident?
20:09Well there's always that little bit of a fear factor isn't there?
20:11Yeah
20:12Especially when Danny Sebastian is in Europe again
20:14OFF
20:16You two
20:17Will be needing your rest
20:19Mai-YO
20:21Nighty night
20:27Next morning
20:28and Danny is behind the wheel
20:30That's a fantastic car these
20:32Thanks to it's Clever Hydraulic System
20:34It can bounce, tilt and glide.
20:37Criking. Nearly went in the verge there.
20:40Don't worry about that. I'll soon put you off your day.
20:42That is what she's worried about.
20:46Yesterday, it was all about copper and silver for Margie.
20:49She spent 80 of her £200 budget.
20:53That's got a chance. I think I might have a crack at it.
20:56Keeping £120 safely stashed for today's splurges.
21:00Danny spent a bit more. £135 on a smoker's cabinet,
21:05a silver ring, a samovar and three West German vases.
21:11What a lovely ring.
21:12Mmm, leaving him with just £65.
21:18Well, Madge, the competition is well and truly on.
21:21It's not Madge, is it? It's Marge.
21:23No, it's...
21:24Do you always remember that awful advert?
21:26Can you tell Marge from butter? Do you remember that?
21:28No, well, Marge, don't forget.
21:31Is it Marge? Margie.
21:32Margie.
21:33Margie.
21:34It's going to be a long road trip.
21:37Before our duo gets back to the business of buying,
21:40they're stopping off at the town of Coatbridge in North Lanarkshire.
21:44Welcome to the Summerlean Museum of Scottish Industrial Life,
21:48built on the site of a 19th-century ironworks,
21:50which tells the story of Scotland's industrial heritage
21:53through original machinery and hands-on exhibits.
21:58Margie and Danny are meeting Linda Byers.
22:02Ah, you must be Linda.
22:04To delve into Lanarkshire's colourful past.
22:06Welcome to Summerlee, 36 years that we've been open.
22:10We've got cottages, we've got a coal mine,
22:12we've got a lovely ice cream van.
22:14Hey, I tell you what, I won't mind having a shut-in that later.
22:16No bother, we can do that for you, not a problem.
22:19Take you in for a little walkabout.
22:21Marvellous.
22:24In the early 19th century, North Lanarkshire was still largely rural,
22:29but within a generation, the landscape had been reshaped by industry.
22:34Some of the ironworks opened in 1836,
22:36right as Scotland was caught in the great tide of the Industrial Revolution.
22:42Coal, iron and steel powered a boom in shipbuilding and engineering.
22:48Cote Bridge, at the heart of it all, became a major hub for iron and coal
22:53and earned its nickname, the Iron Borough.
22:57Linda, so why was this ironworks built near Cote Bridge?
23:00So here we had the Monklands Canal,
23:03which was able to bring in a lot of the stuff that you need to make,
23:05iron, coal, iron ore and limestone.
23:09So it really impacted the whole area, creating a lot of jobs,
23:13a lot of families would come and live here,
23:15there was a lot of mining locally as well.
23:17So it just had a massive impact on the local area.
23:21So the iron would have been used for lots of things
23:23and then taken away in the canal, it would be transported all over the world.
23:27Iron from the furnaces was used across the globe
23:30for building machines, bridges, ships and railways.
23:35Trams linked towns like Cote Bridge to Glasgow
23:38and became part of the city's landscape.
23:41By 1922, over 1,000 trams ran across more than 100 miles of track,
23:47making them the most popular way to get around the city.
23:50It's being renovated, yes.
23:53Here at Summer Lee, a group of retired engineers
23:55of restoring one of those very trams.
23:58Among them, local lad Charlie, a proud Cote Bridge volunteer.
24:03Hello, Charlie. Good morning, how are you?
24:05So you're one of the people working on this tram?
24:08Yeah, there's nine of us, nine volunteers working on it,
24:10two days a week, for the last 12 years.
24:12And this is what, the coronation tram?
24:14It's the coronation tram. This particular tram was built in 1939.
24:18It was built for the King's Coronation in 1937.
24:20So how did it get into such disrepair?
24:22Well, they were sold off. Most of them went for scrap,
24:26were towed away and burned. There's only four left.
24:29Really?
24:30Is there?
24:30Yeah. But this will be the only one running when it actually runs.
24:34Built in Glasgow, the coronation-class trams were fast,
24:38streamlined and finished in sleek Art Deco's style,
24:41becoming icons of their time.
24:44A lot of work to do.
24:46Basically, the hard work's done.
24:48All this here was the major thing.
24:50This is what actually makes it go.
24:52So what's it run by an engine?
24:53It's electric motors underneath your feet,
24:55and these control the motors.
24:57And will it go back on the road?
24:59Yeah, yeah.
24:59It will do.
25:02Restoration of the upstairs deck has all but been completed.
25:07There's a couple of finishing touches left.
25:10So Charlie, how can we help you?
25:11You can stick some bulbs in the white fence.
25:14Let's have a look.
25:17How many antique experts does it take to change a light bulb?
25:21Is it a screw-in?
25:22None. It's worth more left in the box.
25:26Hey!
25:27Hey!
25:28Well, that's one.
25:30Marjorie?
25:31Yes?
25:31Cop hold of this.
25:32Yeah?
25:34I've just got a job to do. I shall see you shortly.
25:38Any work and he disappears.
25:40A job to do.
25:41There we go.
25:42What can he mean?
25:43So where is he?
25:46You're not going to believe this.
25:48Danny's only gone and swapped the Lincoln for the ice cream van.
25:53Let's just be thankful the tram isn't up and running yet.
25:59Now then!
26:00What are you after?
26:02Oyster?
26:02I want a pokey hat.
26:03You want a pokey hat?
26:05Small, medium, large?
26:06A small piece.
26:07Ah, there we go.
26:10Right.
26:10Now then.
26:11Now, do I get anything else?
26:13You've got enough there.
26:14Don't be greedy.
26:15There's no plates are sold out.
26:17Right.
26:17I'm going back to do some shopping.
26:19Watch out for seagulls.
26:26Back on the road again, and they're still trying to suss each other out.
26:30I don't get the feeling that you're that competitive.
26:33You are.
26:34No, I'm not.
26:35Hey, Margie.
26:37Margie.
26:38Margie.
26:39Margie.
26:40Remember, it is a competition.
26:42You're new to the job.
26:43I should beat your hands down, really.
26:45I think I've won to just be in the same car.
26:48And to work with you, I feel I've won already.
26:53We'll see if you're still saying that at the auction.
26:57Let's finish the shopping first, though.
26:59Margie's been dropped off in Holly Town.
27:02Once a bustling mining village at the heart of Lanarkshire's industrial might,
27:06she's heading straight into Holly Town Antiques,
27:09with £120 at the ready.
27:11She should have no problem parting with that one of cash.
27:15There's plenty here to catch the eye.
27:18You see a lot of these.
27:19You see these in nearly every antique shop.
27:22And I'm always very grateful that I've been born in the 20th century.
27:26And you think about what these were for.
27:29No running water.
27:31So if you're lucky enough to have a servant,
27:34you should bring out your hot water in here to your boudoir.
27:39And you'd pour your water in, and you'd have a jolly good old wash.
27:42And there would probably be a pail,
27:44and you'd put all the dirty water into the pail,
27:46and your maid would take it away.
27:49But if it was just you, you'd have to do it on your own.
27:52Where's the fun in that, eh?
27:56Searching, searching.
27:57These are attractive, aren't they?
27:59Well, look, these are quite unusual.
28:01I think they're drug jars.
28:04Or something you put in a bathroom.
28:06And look, lovely old glass.
28:08Look at that lovely ripple.
28:09That gives you an idea that they're old and not modern.
28:14See, look at the bottom on there.
28:15All uneven.
28:16You can almost see the, like, pontil mark where it's been blown.
28:20They're French, I'm sure.
28:22Hand-painted decoration.
28:24That's nice.
28:25The price is £48.
28:28Well, within your budget...
28:30It's nice to have four.
28:31So I'm going to carry on looking for a little bit longer.
28:34Might buy those.
28:36There's some interest there.
28:38Let's lead Margie to her rummaging and catch up with Danny on the road.
28:42How does he feel going head-to-head with a seasoned pro like Margie?
28:46I've really got to be on the ball with Margie.
28:50And she's dead wise.
28:52Oh, don't worry about that.
28:53Because I think I'm cool, but she's too cool.
28:56I might have to work the gear.
28:58Hey, keep positive.
29:00No, what's wrong with them purchases I've bought?
29:02I'm going to make plenty money!
29:04Ha-ha-ha!
29:05That's the spirit!
29:08Danny's making his way to the village of Rosebank,
29:11on the outskirts of Carlouk,
29:13in the heart of the Clyde Valley.
29:15Final shopping stop, Clyde Valley Antiques.
29:18Danny has 65 big ones, burning a hole in his pocket.
29:22This lot, I'm sure we'll keep him busy.
29:25Too expensive.
29:27It's up, Danny.
29:30Now then.
29:32God, now that might be what I'm looking for.
29:35I do like a Vesta case.
29:37Part of our history, you know,
29:39before matches and matchboxes, you had Vesta cases.
29:42But the ones that really grabbed me are the novelty ones.
29:44I couldn't really get a better example than that one.
29:48That's a little belter, that is.
29:50It's in the shape of a filing case.
29:53It's got a dinky little handle on the top.
29:56Lovely, lovely hinge on it as well.
29:59As you can hear, it's still snapped shut.
30:03It's brass.
30:05Aged around 1920, somewhere around there.
30:08Maybe even a little bit earlier.
30:10Could even be Edwardian.
30:11We don't want things playing.
30:13We want things that's got a little bit quirky.
30:15And that is quirky all day long.
30:19Beautiful, this.
30:20Priced at £55.
30:22And for now, I'm going to keep looking.
30:24With this many glass cabinets, it's less looking and more of a full-body workout.
30:31Danny will be up and down like a yo-yo.
30:33Let's take a peek at Margie and see if she's found anything else in Hollytown.
30:39Bamboo.
30:40I think I've been listening to James Braxton, a fellow expert, who can't leave bamboo alone.
30:46Hence his moniker, Bamboo Braxton.
30:49Early 20th century, probably about 1910.
30:52And it's got this rather nice porcelain plaque on the top.
30:55It's got little shamrocks, which is really sweet.
30:59Rather nice crossover bamboo supports.
31:03It's quite attractive.
31:05That would be nice in somebody's conservatory, wouldn't it?
31:08You know how bamboo started in the coffee houses and the smoking houses?
31:13Because bamboo doesn't hold the smell of smoke.
31:17I'm going to ask Lorna about that.
31:19Because there's no ticket on it.
31:21That will be Lorna, the proprietor.
31:24Prepare for battle.
31:25Lorna, can I spay for one moment?
31:27Yes, of course.
31:28I've seen these here, which I quite like.
31:31They're £48, which is a bit tough on me.
31:34What can you do?
31:36You can do £30.
31:36£30, right.
31:38Let's just think about that.
31:39And then the bamboo table over there.
31:42Now, there's no ticket on it.
31:43I can do that for £40 for you.
31:45Right.
31:46So that's £40 and £30.
31:47Can we tidy it up a little bit?
31:49Let's do £60 for both.
31:51Oh, that's great.
31:52Marv.
31:53Yes.
31:53Thank you very much indeed.
31:55£30 for the table, £30 for the jars and £60 left unspent.
31:59Sweet deal indeed.
32:01Thank you very much.
32:02You're welcome.
32:04That's two trips to the car for Margie.
32:07Someone find her a trolley.
32:10Meanwhile, in Rosebank, Danny's knee-deep in glass cabinet country.
32:15At this rate, he could be here until closing time.
32:19Careful, Danny.
32:19I think you missed a shelf.
32:22Looks like you've already done a £360.
32:26Back to where you started, at the Vesta cases.
32:29It gets better.
32:30We've got a little Havana one now.
32:32So, obviously, that's cigars.
32:34Oh, that's lovely.
32:36Fantastic spring on it.
32:38The Stryker's on the top.
32:40That has got to be around 1920s.
32:43Priced at £55.
32:45Quite rare.
32:47I've never seen one like this before.
32:49Two Vesta cases, both brass with novelty appeal, priced at £55 each, versus Danny's £65 budget.
32:57I'm in a bit of a dilemma, to be honest.
33:00Time to strike a deal with owner Alan.
33:02Vesta luck.
33:04Alan.
33:05Danny.
33:06Good to see you.
33:07Always a pleasure to be here, sir.
33:08I say you've got a lovely shop here.
33:11And there's a couple of bits I like.
33:13Luckily, they're of the same elk.
33:15Right.
33:15A couple of Vesta cases.
33:17One is a violin case, and the other one is a Havana cigar box.
33:22Right.
33:22I think they're on it.
33:23£55 each.
33:24Correct.
33:25But the thing is, I haven't got £110.
33:28Sure.
33:29I can do a deal for you.
33:30Half price for the two.
33:32£55 for the two of them.
33:34I've never seen Danny speechless before.
33:37£55 for the two?
33:39The two of them.
33:39Yeah.
33:40Yeah.
33:41Are you sure?
33:42Yeah.
33:42Give us your hand.
33:43Yeah.
33:44Happy.
33:44Yeah, I'll take that.
33:46Quick.
33:46Pay the man.
33:47Strike while the iron's hot.
33:49Sorted.
33:53Are you all doing it?
33:54Not sure.
33:55Alan, you're a star.
33:57Shopping complete and a tenner left unspent.
33:59No wonder he's looking happy with himself.
34:03Back in the motor, the banter continues.
34:07Go on, Madge.
34:09Margie.
34:10Cheeky.
34:11I think you're going into this auction more confident than me.
34:14Because you're a cockeyed optimist.
34:17A cockeyed?
34:17What's a cockeyed?
34:17And it's a song, isn't it, in the South Pacific.
34:20Do you be and be a cockeyed optimist
34:23when we go down to auction?
34:27Not exactly the Rodgers and Hammerstein version, Danny.
34:31Shut eye next.
34:33Huh.
34:37Roll up!
34:38Roll up!
34:39It's Danny and Margie's debut duel in the sale room.
34:43Now we will see...
34:44You're not going to sing all the way through.
34:46If you're going to make any money...
34:49Look, you're going to have to be quiet when he's bidding.
34:51Good luck with that.
34:53After rummaging their way around Scotland,
34:55they've made their way south to middle Lyttelton, Worcestershire,
34:58where the first of five auctions is taking place at Lyttelton Auctions.
35:04The bidders are poised in the room, online and on the phone.
35:07On Gabor wielding duty today is auctioneer Ben Homer.
35:1145 now.
35:13Sold.
35:14Margie spent £140 on five lots.
35:18Anything pique your interest, Ben?
35:20A set of four Victorian French glass jars.
35:23A lovely item, very decorative.
35:26I think they'll do well.
35:27Danny also bought five lots and spent £190.
35:31What say you, Ben?
35:33One of my favourites is the West German vases.
35:36They're becoming ever more popular.
35:38We see more and more of them,
35:39and the more we see, the more they tend to fetch.
35:42Oh, right. Time to raise the curtain.
35:46Let the show commence.
35:49Danny's up first with his cabinet.
35:51Let's hope it doesn't go up in smoke.
35:54Oh, look at that.
35:56Start me at, say, £50, please.
35:58That's cheap.
36:01Start me at £34, then.
36:03Well, it's not looking good.
36:04£30, at £30, I'm looking for £35 now.
36:07Room or net.
36:08Fair warned at £30.
36:12Yes!
36:13Profit.
36:14A bit of profit.
36:14Well done.
36:15Put that in your pipe.
36:17Well, that's a good start.
36:19I'm happy with that.
36:20Margie's first lot now,
36:22an assortment of silver pieces.
36:25Ten charms.
36:26A watch.
36:27And a brooch.
36:28Looks lovely.
36:29It does.
36:30£30, £30 bid.
36:31You're in.
36:32£35.
36:33£35 at the back of the room there at £35.
36:35Oh, Margie, you're running away with it.
36:37£40, she's back in.

36:46Well done.
36:46Thank you very much.
36:47Well done.
36:48That charmed the bidders,
36:49and another good start.
36:51It should have been a bit more, really.
36:53It should always be a bit more.
36:55Well, I'll go with that.
36:57Let's see if Danny Silverring can round up some roaring bidders.

37:27You just never know what's going to happen.
37:29Highs and lows of the sale room, eh?
37:31Margie's up now with the copper jug.

37:36Do they use them nowadays?
37:37Well, do they use half the things of this sale room?

38:24Gavel's up.
38:25That's a shame.
38:25I love the one on the right.
38:27They didn't set the sale room on fire.
38:31Never mind.
38:32You win some, you lose some.
38:35Margie's turn now, with her silver-plated tray, hoping some bidders will take a shine to
38:39it.
38:40Well, Marge.
38:41Eh?
38:42Margie.

39:51Margie, the gavel's up.
39:52I'm sold at £45.
39:55Oh, no.
39:56All the looks, just not quite the bids.
40:00I'm quite disappointed with that.
40:01I bet you are.
40:03It's only a tenner.
40:06Magnanimous Margie.
40:07It's her bamboo table next.
40:10Let's go.

40:31Nice.
40:32Well done.
40:32That's cheered me out.
40:34You're running away with it now.
40:35£45.
40:37Danny's final lot now, the samovar.
40:40Will it brew up some much-needed bidding action?
40:43It's nice.
40:44How much?
40:45£45.
40:46Oh.
40:46What do you mean?

41:04The gavel's up.
41:06Yes.
41:08Profit on tap.
41:10Cheers to that.
41:11I had a lot of faith in that, Margie.
41:13Yeah, well, you surprised me.
41:16Margie's last lot, the set of glass jars.
41:19Here's hoping for some clear bids.
41:22Hand-painted.
41:24Hand-painted.
41:27Oh, no.
41:28Starting at £34, then, then.
41:29£30 bid, thank you, at £30.
41:31You've got it.
41:31I've room first at £30, £35 now.
41:34I'm at £35.
41:34I don't like the colour.
41:36I don't like the colour.
41:37But I like the money that they make in.
41:39Already well into profit.
41:41£70 at the back now.
41:43And still rising.
41:44I'm at £90.
41:45Oh, my goodness.
41:46That's surprising me now.
41:48Do you want £110?
41:49£110.
41:50Go on, Margie.
41:51£130.
41:52Oh, gosh.
41:53£140.
41:54At £140, then, going once, going twice, gavels up.
42:00Oh, now I'm gavels up.
42:01I'm really shocked.
42:03There's one for the books.
42:05Biggest profit so far.
42:07Margie will be raising a glass to that sale.
42:10I'm really shocked.
42:11Well, Margie, come on, let's go and do the maths.
42:14Oh, my God.
42:16And that's their first battle in the saleroom complete.
42:19Let's top up the totals.
42:22Despite some successes, after auction costs,
42:25Danny has a loss of £51.82.
42:29Margie, however, after turning glass and silver into gold,
42:33made a tidy profit of £105.64,
42:36also after saleroom costs.
42:38That's A star for effort for Danny,
42:41but it's Margie who's walking away with today's crown.
42:43All accumulated profits at the end of the week
42:45go to children in need.
42:49Wow.
42:50You don't have to be smiling and laughing.
42:52I must admit, Margie,
42:54you did have some nice locks.
42:57It's Margie.
43:00Next time...
43:01Careful.
43:02..the road trip revelry rolls on.
43:05God help us.
43:06..the refined finds...
43:07Ain't she a beauty?
43:09..double takers...
43:10It's a bit like Donald Duck, doesn't it?
43:12..and the bell rings...
43:14Shh!
43:15..for round two.
43:16Right, now, watch the door on this side.
43:18Oh, shut up!
43:19.
43:23.
