00:01It's the nation's favourite antiques experts
00:03Behind the wheel of a classic car
00:06This car dancing!
00:08And a goal to scar Britain for antiques
00:11The aim? To make the biggest profit at all
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
00:37Are we ready?
00:40For 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
00:54It's clearly their comedy hour
00:56Armed with a fresh 200 pounds
00:59It's the fourth leg of their jovial jaunt
01:01In the 1991 Lincoln Lowrider
01:05I want it to go on forever
01:06Oh
01:07Don't you?
01:08Yeah of course I do
01:09Well 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
01:15Maybe it's the suspension
01:17Oh come on
01:19Last time out in Yorkshire
01:21Inspirations struck in fashion
01:23Da da da da da
01:25De doos
01:26Whoops
01:27And in fumbles
01:28Thought that
01:29We've got 30 now
01:30At auction Danny found lavatorial success
01:3335
01:34Come on
01:36But Margie made a clean sweep
01:38With a round three hat trick
01:42There's no nice way of saying this
01:44But I'm in the lead
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
01:53I don't think you will
01:55Oh Margie
01:56Never want 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 our 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 flour 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
02:52Giving us a twirl
02:54Antique shops full of surprises at every turn
02:57Ah, look, ah
03:01Pelham puppets
03:03Gosh
03:04Look at this
03:06The marionettes on strings
03:08Look at that
03:09Can't do it
03:11I've got enough stress
03:12Without trying to untangle that
03:15Sorry mate
03:16These puppets aren't pulling Margie's strings today
03:20Onto the next act
03:23Oh, what's this?
03:26Careful Margie
03:27Steady
03:28One slip
03:29And it's sold
03:30Oh, this is a lovely plate
03:34It's French
03:351930s
03:37Dark Deco
03:38Looking like Lalique
03:40But it's not Lalique
03:41Lovely opalescent effect
03:46You sort of get the opalescent effect more
03:48If you look at the back of it, strangely enough
03:51There'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
04:04So, if we can get a little bit of a deal on that
04:08It's coming home with me
04:10Eyes on the prize, eh Margie?
04:12I've won a trophy
04:14That's what I feel like
04:15A moment of glory
04:18Meanwhile, fellow trophy hunter Danny
04:20Is kicking off his shopping shenanigans
04:23In the city of Sheffield
04:25Vibrant and modern
04:27And with more trees than people
04:28This is a place
04:30Where city life
04:31And green spaces
04:32Go hand in hand
04:33In the heart of the antiques quarter
04:36Very nice
04:37Danny's making tracks
04:39For Healy Bank Antique Centre
04:41Housed in a former bank
04:43Built in 1900
04:44These days
04:46Instead of checks and cash
04:47It's home
04:48To curios and collectibles
04:52Not quite a symphony
04:53But points for Puff
04:56Right, will ya?
05:01This is interesting
05:04What a little belter
05:06Look at the face on him
05:07This is Winston Churchill's pal
05:10Lovely little figure of a British Bulldog
05:13Cold painted
05:15Lovely patina on it
05:16Great shape
05:18Round about 1920s
05:20Somewhere around there I'd say it was formed
05:22Oh, it's a lovely
05:23Lovely 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
05:35That would definitely be coming to auction with me
05:39Right, let's keep rolling
05:41Righty-ho then
05:43Sounds like the perfect cue
05:45To hop over to WorkSop and Margie's shop
05:49Oh, crikey, look at this old coffer
05:53My word
05:54Look at that
05:55That'll be two or three hundred years old
05:57Looks like woodworms had a go
06:00What's that?
06:03Oh, I like the look of that
06:04I think it's been a rose for the ceiling of a Victorian house
06:09But it's an architectural antique
06:11And cast iron
06:12I can hardly lift it
06:15Which is great
06:17It's quality
06:18Must be 150 years old
06:23I like that
06:26No price ticket
06:27So am I going to be disappointed?
06:30Let's hope the price doesn't hit the roof
06:33Time to talk turkey with Ben
06:35The man in charge
06:36Right, Ben
06:38Had a lovely time in your lovely centre
06:41So, first of all
06:42How much is this?
06:44We've got it on at 55
06:45But I can do a bit better for you
06:47A bit better?
06:48Yeah
06:48Like bit what?
06:5030
06:51That's fine
06:52Yeah
06:52Also outside
06:53There's this sort of cast iron Victorian
06:56I think it was a ceiling rose really
06:58There's no price on that
07:00So, come on Ben
07:01I really like that
07:03How much can that be?
07:04It had 50 on it
07:06Yep
07:06But that can be 25
07:07Oh, that's marvellous
07:08Thanks Ben
07:09Generous discount
07:1055 for the two
07:12Thank you ever so much
07:14Bye bye
07:14Leaving Margie with £145 in her coffers
07:17The other coffers
07:19Err, I'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 in Sheffield
07:30Cool
07:31How did I miss that?
07:32Sometimes
07:33You need a second lap
07:35Bit of iconicness here
07:37Bit of iconicness
07:39Ernest Race, 1950s
07:41Antelope chair
07:43Great designer was Ernest Race
07:45from the early 20th century to mid 20th century
07:47Ernest Race was a pioneer of post-war furniture
07:52Creating contemporary pieces using improvised or recycled materials
07:57His antelope chair made design history at the 1951 Festival of Britain
08:03Formed by bent metal and 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 gives it its character really
08:19I'm falling in love with this
08:21It's extremely comfortable
08:22Looks it
08:24Comfortable price?
08:25Priced up at £120
08:29I love it
08:31I just don't love the price
08:34Time to talk moolah with owner Paul
08:37He might need a chair
08:39Hello
08:40How are you?
08:42Not so bad, you've got a lovely place here
08:44Thank you very much
08:44Ernest Race chair
08:46Yep
08:47Priced up £120
08:48Yep
08:48Could I buy that for £50?
08:50No
08:51Nice try Danny
08:52What would be your best on it?
08:54Are 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
09:11So that's £80
09:13So we'll go
09:14In between
09:17£90
09:18Give us your hand
09:19I'll take that
09:21That's £65 for the chair
09:23And £25 for the little bulldog
09:25£90 to £2
09:26That's all yours Paul
09:28Thank you very much
09:28See you later
09:30Leaving Danny with £110 still in his pocket
09:34Splendid boys
09:35And off he goes
09:36To reunite with his pal Margie
09:39Where the subject
09:40Turns 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
09:49And panache
09:51Is what gets you through
09:52Yeah well you do it with humour
09:54They just think
09:55Look 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
10:22They're meeting Adrienne Posthuma
10:25Managing Director of the UK's only tuning fork manufacturer
10:28Adrienne
10:29Hello there
10:30Ah
10:30How are you?
10:31Nice to meet you Margie Cooper
10:33And you too
10:33And this is Adrienne
10:34Hi Danny
10:35This is all very intriguing
10:36Basically 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
10:44The 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
10:57For 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
11:09In 1841 local company Rag
11:11Makers of razors, scissors and knives
11:14Realised the growing use of tuning forks
11:17In the field of medicine
11:18And saw an opportunity
11:21So is this musical for pianos?
11:23Predominantly they are musical, yes
11:24Tuning 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
11:38Including Heinrich Adolf Rinna
11:41Began using the tuning fork to test hearing
11:43Placing it against the bone behind the ear to assess sound conduction
11:48His test is still used today
11:51But the tuning fork's story doesn't stop there
11:55Now 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
12:01Just as every speed camera
12:03Will 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
12:13Alright, can I do it?
12:15You certainly can
12:18Still not as good as yours
12:21Ah, we're getting there
12:22Practice makes perfect
12:23I want to do it
12:25And kick
12:28It'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
12:46And even the odd sound bath
12:50So what are they all doing?
12:52And how many are there?
12:53Well, there's seven operatives in total
12:55First of all, there'll be milling
12:57And then there's blinding, glazing, polishing
13:01Then there's very finishing aspects of it
13:03Can you say that again? I can't hear you
13:05It's a bit loud in here
13:05To 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
13:16Ah, 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
13:28The more you file it, the higher the frequency
13:31The higher the frequency
13:32Where do you want to go?
13:34Now then
13:34Get your file
13:35I've never done any filing before
13:37On my nails
13:40From manicures to musical notes
13:42Now you're back into it Marge
13:45Now you think you've got enough up there?
13:47Yeah
13:50You've not took a grain off!
13:51Do you want to try?
13:53Come on you
13:53Give us it to you
13:54Stand back
13:55Maestro in the making
13:59Well
14:03Nearly
14:03Still not quite right is it?
14:05We're not destined for this job are we?
14:08I'll leave that with you
14:09Keep up the good work
14:10Thank you
14:14From 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
14:29Back on the road, a moment of calm
14:33This is rather sceny
14:35Oh look, lambs
14:36Oh
14:37Madgy
14:39Before an old bug bear rears its head
14:42Oh Madgy
14:43We've got another one now
14:45Does anybody else get your name wrong?
14:46No
14:46Do you know if I go to your hometown and I see you
14:50Yes
14:50And I shouted out
14:51Madge
14:53You'd probably think I know who that is
14:55I should walk on by
14:57A rose by any other name would smell as sweet
15:00Night night you two
15:09Next morning Danny's in the driving seat
15:12So Margie, another day, another dollar
15:14Revved up and ready for more
15:18Yesterday 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
15:35And an earnest race antelope chair
15:37Bit of iconicness here
15:39Bit of iconicness
15:40Leaving him with just £110 in his kitty for today
15:47Another day of shopping beckons
15:50Music to their ears
15:51If we had a band, I mean
15:53Well you'd call it MD, wouldn't you?
15:56DM
15:56Or we could call it
15:58Damage
16:00Yeah, Damage
16:01Come and see Damage at the town hall this Saturday
16:04Rocking the night away
16:06Count me in
16:08Our headliners on tour
16:10Are heading south
16:11Crossing into Derbyshire and the East Midlands
16:14Bound for Chesterfield
16:16A historic town
16:17Home to an 800-year-old market
16:20And its famously crooked 13th century church spire
16:24Today's stomping ground is Chesterfield Antique Centre
16:27Danny's not wasting any time
16:30And there's Margie, look, hot on his heels
16:33Inside it's a cornucopia of collectibles, vintage, antiques and hidden treasures
16:39Spread across three floors
16:41And there's loads to see, as always
16:44Perfect for a proper rummage
16:48Danny's also on the hunt
16:49Armed with £110 and a habit of popping up where you least expect him
16:56Great decoration
16:59Indian brass topped tables
17:01Jamie, it's just priced too much for me
17:03£195
17:05Well, that's put a lid on it
17:10Ah!
17:12I don't know what that is
17:15It's a Victorian ladies skirt lifter
17:19Right?
17:19Perhaps you should explain
17:21It works like a suspender
17:23The string would be on your belt
17:24So 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 they always make me smile, I 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
18:02Plenty of great designs, just not in Danny's price bracket
18:08Perfect, nothing wrong with that
18:11Chin chin
18:12And off to auction is on the outside
18:14He's passing Margie on the inside
18:17He's on his way through
18:19He's gonna get to the...
18:20Oh, Margie, there you go
18:21How are ya?
18:22If ever a woman suffered on this road trip
18:25Is that what's it called?
18:26Well, I'm thinking about buying it
18:28Oh, are you?
18:28This one's called off to auction
18:31That's the name of the horse, off to auction
18:34It's gonna win the programme for you
18:36Something's gotta because I know class
18:38It brings fairy tales again, innit?
18:40Bye
18:42There he goes, galloping off to his happily ever after
18:48Back to business
18:48And 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
19:00Oh, look at this
19:03Crikey
19:04Cast iron
19:06Are you ready?
19:07Oh my goodness
19:09That is a Roman-y cast iron hanging kettle
19:14So it would be outside, wouldn't it?
19:15It's a four-gallon one, big family
19:17It'll be about 1880
19:20Sort of get this light
19:22You need blight
19:23And that sort of comes to mind
19:25Stories and 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
19:38We're a major 18th century iron foundry
19:41Employing 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?
19:53Will it be a yay or a nay?
19:56I just like the fact that it's an antique
19:58The only problem is
19:59Am I going to be able to carry it down those two
20:01Two flights of stairs?
20:04As the man in the neckerchief might say
20:06Don't you worry about that
20:08I feel a dealer brewing
20:10Time for a chinwag with owner Wendy
20:13Right, Wendy
20:15I've had a jolly good look round
20:17And I've seen upstairs that Roman-y tea kettle
20:20Really heavy thing
20:21Yeah, and you've got like 65 on it
20:24It's worrying me a bit
20:27Yes, how much can it be?
20:29It can be
20:32Today for you, £30
20:34Oh, that's lovely, that's fine
20:36Yeah, I'll just get my money out quickly
20:38No hanging around here
20:41Thank you
20:42Thanks Wendy, that was very kind of pleasure
20:43And a farewell to Margie with £115
20:47Bye
20:47Still in the kitty
20:49Now then, let's catch up with Mr Danny
20:52And his hooking and poking up in the loft
20:58Now, this is what I'm looking for
21:01This is an Art Deco 1930s beveled edge mirror
21:05Priced at £35
21:07So I do like this kind of cut glass
21:10Fusseted edge on it
21:11You generally just have a plain edge
21:13Which is the bevelled edge
21:14But this one's just a little bit more expensive looking
21:17You 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
21:28The price goes up then
21:30This one's quite a plain one
21:32But...
21:33Something's caught his eye
21:34Oh, it's got a fabulous...
21:36You know the best part of it, don't you?
21:38When you look in it and you see the reflection
21:39That's the best part of this mirror
21:42A plain mirror reflecting greatness
21:45It's too much Eddie
21:47It's too much
21:48Never enough, some might say
21:50A priceless vision
21:52Nice that
21:53Now, all he needs is a price
21:56That mirrors his budget
21:57A visit to Wendy is on the cards
21:59There's the lady I'm looking to see
22:01What can we do for you?
22:03Wendy, in the loft
22:04Just as you've got top upstairs
22:06There's a...
22:06There's an old mirror
22:08I think it's got a ticket price on it of 35 quid
22:11Now, I'm known for being cheeky
22:14And I'm going to be very cheeky now, Wendy
22:15I wouldn't expect anything less
22:17His reputation precedes him
22:20Will you take a tenner?
22:23I'll take 15
22:25How did I know you were going to say that?
22:27We take 12, doesn't?
22:29Yes
22:29You'll do 12?
22:30We'll do 12
22:32Absolutely
22:33Almost two-thirds off the ticket price
22:36That leaves Danny with £98 still to spend
22:41£3
22:41Thank you very much
22:43Thank you Danny
22:44Who says cheek doesn't pay eh?
22:47But not so fast, there's still one more task
22:50Before reuniting with your chum
22:52Margie Cooper
22:54There you are
22:55This weighs an absolute tonne
22:58I'll tell you what, I'll take the lid
23:00I'll tell you something, you're indebted to me for life
23:03Now where's the motor?
23:05Let's hope it's not parked up a hill
23:07Oh gosh!
23:09Back on the road, and talk has turned from antiques to attire
23:14You dress like your personality
23:16You're a flamboyant dresser and it suits you
23:19I'm not
23:20You've got a bright yellow jacket on
23:22You don't get your wear out of flamboyant clothes
23:25Hey I do
23:25You drag that out in three years time
23:28I'm not bothered
23:29Everybody's yawning
23:32Well one thing's for sure, there's nothing boring about the banter in this car
23:37Our dapper double act is crossing into Nottinghamshire
23:41To the town of Mansfield in the Mourne Valley
23:44A market town, once a royal retreat and gateway to Sherwood Forest
23:48It has a heritage almost as storied as Robin Hood himself
23:53Today's hunting ground is Victoria Antique Centre
23:56And in full swing already are lovable rogue Danny
24:00No bow or arrow in sight
24:02Ninety-eight smackers still in his pocket
24:04And a floor space stuffed to the gills
24:07Gotta be careful in places like these
24:08It's that packed, you can't see the wood for the trees
24:11Or the ticks for the tocks for that matter
24:15Dealer Pete seems to know his way around though
24:21This is nice, it's a sports car frob watch
24:23Yeah, it makes me think that if somebody that was buying back in the day
24:27An MG or something like that description, Sportster
24:32They'd probably get this thrown in as a bit of a sweetener
24:35Very nice, it seems to be working, it's ticking away
24:38Round about 1960s, made in Germany
24:42Great condition
24:43Made by UMF Ruler
24:46A watch brand founded in the 19th century in the German village of the same name
24:51Who became pioneers of the world's first mass-produced watches
24:57Quite collectible of fob watches and this one's quite a rarity really, being with the tyre around it
25:02Lovely glass cover, it looks like an enamel face
25:05Priced at £75
25:09Sports car style, at a fraction of the price
25:11I quite like that, don't quite know whether it will go with the car I've got outside
25:16A low-riding timepiece
25:19Lincoln presidential town car, might not suit it, but
25:23It'd look nice on the key, that's for sure
25:26Sounds like Danny's revved up
25:28With eyes on the prize
25:30That may well be one for the auction
25:32A timely find
25:35Elsewhere in Nottinghamshire
25:36Margie's next stop is the historic town of Newark-on-Trent
25:41Or Newark, for short
25:43Once a royalist stronghold in the Civil War
25:45It's now a peaceful haven of castle ruins and canal boats
25:49It also boasts Europe's largest antiques market
25:54The perfect playground for our intrepid treasure hunter Margie
25:57Who's about to step into Newark Chapel Antiques Centre
26:00Set in a former chapel and schoolroom, dating from 1823
26:05It's the perfect setting for Margie's final antique pilgrimage
26:08Packed with curios and collectibles galore
26:12Ooh!
26:14Very smart
26:161950s travelling drinks cabinet, and I've never seen one
26:19And what makes it particularly nice is these frosted bottles
26:23But there's one problem for me
26:25Because I haven't got enough money
26:28Ticket price of £120
26:29Margie's a fiver short
26:31It's nice to see something that you've not seen before
26:34And I haven't seen one of those before
26:36Just the ticket for travel tipples
26:39But Margie's budget is flying economy
26:42Onwards, she must travel
26:43Right
26:44Ooh! Ooh!
26:46This!
26:47A doctor's bag
26:48This is a Gladstone bag
26:51By a company called Jay Gardner & Son from Edinburgh
26:54Obviously suppliers to the hospitals and the physicians
26:59Lovely quality
27:00This has been a really, really expensive bag
27:02Why does it feel so heavy?
27:05Ooh!
27:06Ah, we've got a secret section underneath
27:09And 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
27:28Most of the births were home births
27:30Your doctor would come in
27:32And give you a helping hand
27:33And forceps are when
27:35Obviously the baby's struggling to come out
27:37So we can go the forceps
27:39Out comes the baby
27:41And...
27:42Great care has to be taken all round
27:45It's £95
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
27:57These will have him running for the hills
27:59Now, over to the unsuspecting patient in Mansfield
28:04Still on the clock
28:09Oh, look at this
28:12Now, these are right up my alley
28:14The old ten-pin bowling balls
28:16I mean, this looks like a fairly old one
28:19Well, it's got its own little stand
28:23And there's more here
28:27Now, this one looks like quite a good one
28:30It's called Brunswick
28:32Very big name in the bowling alley world
28:34Makers of bowling balls since 1906
28:38Black diamond
28:39Sounds like a good model
28:43And it's got...
28:44Oh, look at that ticket in there
28:4799 pence per person
28:48So that just goes to show you how old this is
28:50Oh, you've got a pair of shoes in the bottom
28:52I mean, it's a bit tatty, but...
28:55Still enough charm to bowl Danny over
29:00They're old
29:01Oh, there are a pair of lawn bowls in there as well
29:05Just his sort of carry-on
29:07Bags of bowls, ready to roll
29:10Do you know something else?
29:11I'll be leaving Margie in the gutter
29:14Sounds like Danny is preparing to strike a deal with Pete
29:17Hi, Pete
29:19There he is
29:21How are you?
29:22I'm fine, thanks
29:23Yeah, I'm very well
29:24It's a little fob watch
29:25It's a little car fob watch
29:28It's on a tyre
29:29Yeah
29:31It's in one of the cabinets just round the back there
29:33Yeah
29:3475 pound price that
29:36Yeah, I can cook down on that
29:39Do I need to take a seat?
29:41No
29:41Could you do 40 quid?
29:44I could do 45
29:47Could you do 40?
29:48Me hand's ready
29:50Could you do 40?
29:52Don't
29:5340 quid, now hold on
29:54Me hand's still there
29:55Yeah
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
30:05Clean sweep
30:0640 for the little timepiece
30:08And he's bagged a whole lot of bowls for a fiver
30:1145 big ones all in
30:13What a strike, eh?
30:14Pete, you're an absolute star
30:16Okay, thanks
30:17Cheers Pete, I'll go and collect it
30:19Leaving Danny with 53 pounds unspent
30:22And one thing on his mind
30:29Yes!
30:32That's how you do it!
30:34Antique hunter by trade
30:35Alley King at heart
30:38Now, let's see if Margie's getting bowled over in Newark
30:44Let me have a look
30:46What we got here
30:48Oh, I like these
30:50These are a rather large perfume bottle
30:53Which I think they're for window displays
30:55Aren't they?
30:56Art Deco
30:57It says here
30:59Romanian
31:00Which I think
31:01I think that's a Czech glass company
31:06And there is a small
31:08Oh yeah, there's a small, small mark here
31:10Desner
31:12Desner is a brand of glass
31:13From Czechia
31:15Formerly known as Bohemia
31:17It's an area long synonymous with fine glass making
31:20And celebrated for its traditional craftsmanship
31:24Till the end of the 19th century
31:27Perfume was organic, right?
31:30But then with the advances in chemistry
31:33They then became synthetic
31:35The smells were more powerful
31:37And of course
31:38We all love our perfume, don't we?
31:41Is the ticket price a sweet?
31:43It was 59, it's 48 pounds
31:46I think that's really attractive
31:47I think I might buy this
31:49Who can resist a dab of scent and a dash of Deco glamour, eh?
31:54Time for a chat perhaps with dealer Annie
31:56Annie, I've found two items
31:59That's one of them
32:00There's already been a reduction on that
32:02But
32:02All right, okay
32:03Is there a chance of a little more easing?
32:06Well, how about 38?
32:09That's super
32:09The other item is the Gladstone bag, you know, the doctor's bag
32:14All right, okay, yeah
32:15That's 95, now that's all battered
32:18So how much can that be?
32:20Well, with that one, we could probably do it for 55
32:25Is that any good?
32:26That's fantastic
32:27All right, Dave
32:28Very generous deal
32:2938 for the perfume bottle
32:31And 55 for the doctor's bag
32:33Complete with instruments of torture
32:35That's 93 pounds in total
32:39There you go
32:39That's brilliant
32:40And thank you so much, Annie
32:41Thank you
32:42You've been really helpful
32:42Leaving Margie with 22 pounds unspent
32:45Off she trots to reunite with Danny
32:48All shopping now wrapped up
32:50Next stop, the sale room
32:52So, Margie
32:53We're going to London
32:54The smoke
32:55The big capital
32:56So we're going to your neck of the woods
32:58Absolutely
32:59I'll be like bees in a honeypot
33:01And let's just hope they're just
33:02Bye, bye, bye
33:04Let's hope you sell, sell, sell
33:07Time for some shut-eye
33:13Auction day has arrived
33:15And it's the penultimate clash
33:17Of their best of five bout
33:19Today's about
33:20No, I'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
33:27It's your day
33:28It is my day
33:29No, it's not
33:30Good luck to both of you
33:31Our pair, after 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
33:41The goods are getting the once-over
33:43With bidders in the room
33:45On the phones and online
33:47Presiding over it all today
33:49Is gavel wielder Bill Carroll
33:51There's the hammer
33:52You have been warned
33:55Margie forked out
33:57£178 on five auction lots
33:59Anything you like, Bill?
34:01Do you know what I like?
34:02Is the kettle
34:03It's a great item
34:05It's an interesting item
34:06And it is a piece
34:07Of Romany history
34:09So watch this space
34:11Danny parted with a bit less
34:14£147 for his five lots
34:16Any standouts, Bill?
34:18Ernest Race
34:18He's a very interesting guy indeed
34:20And his stuff
34:21Does 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
34:29For our chums
34:31How are you feeling?
34:32Great
34:32Ready
34:34You ready?
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
34:47Tell it
34:48£50, is there?
34:49£55?
34:50There's got to be
34:51£55, £60, £65
34:53£65
34:54Doing well
34:55£65
34:56I can see you're pleased
34:58At £65
34:59The hammer comes down
35:02Well done
35:03Yes
35:04£40
35:05Doing well
35:06Oh, Margie, you better watch out
35:09Off to a barking good start
35:11That was a good sound
35:12That was
35:13Lovely little thing
35:14Yeah, it was a lovely little thing
35:15Margie's first lot now
35:17And the auctioneer's pick
35:19The cast iron Romany tea kettle
35:21Oh, that's lovely
35:22Oh, that's lovely
35:23It's even got the hook
35:24Yeah
35:24Oh, he's got the hook
35:2655
35:27Is there 60?
35:28I know it
35:29Right
35:2960, 65

35:35It's £65
35:36Get the kettle on
35:37At £65
35:39At £65
35:40Well done, Margie
35:42That's alright
35:42Definitely time for a celebratory cuppa
35:45With that tidy profit
35:47We're doing alright
35:48It's alright
35:49Now, can Danny keep the momentum going with his octagonal R Deco mirror snapped up for a snip?
35:55£12
35:56You little devil
35:58Mmm, I'm a big devil me, don't worry about that
36:0120 pounds in
36:03Straight into profit

36:15Who's making a profit
36:17Ticking the small profits
36:19Tickety boo
36:20Tickety boo
36:21That's the ticket
36:22Now, on to Margie's next lot
36:25A Gladstone bag fully equipped for house calls
36:28This is a doctor's bag
36:29With a difference
36:31It's got a hole in it
36:32In the bottom
36:34You pull out a sterilising copper unit with forceps in
36:38Danny's face says it all
36:40We've got 50 in
36:42Is there 55?
36:44All money
36:4550 pound
36:45Last chance
36:46Fair warning
36:47At 50 pounds
36:49I'll slow down a bit, shall I?
36:51At 50 pounds
36:52Last chance
36:53And fair warning
36:55Oh
36:55That's disappointing
36:56I've lost a five
36:57A whole five pounds
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
37:07Were you four steps birth?
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, shoes and carrier bag
37:18The whole kit and caboodle
37:21They're a lot better than what they look
37:23They're a lot better than what they look
37:23I'm sure
37:23They make good door stops
37:25Ha ha ha ha ha
37:26Strike one
37:2720 pounds
37:29Come on
37:30Come on

37:3520 pounds
37:36Last chance
37:37And fair fair warning
37:40Oh

37:44Keep those profits rolling in
37:47Oh Margie
37:50Marge
37:51Gee
37:52Well
37:53At least he's got your name right
37:55Practically a milestone
37:56Right then
37:57How about a dash of Art Deco decadence
38:00Margie's perfume bottle is next in the spotlight
38:02We've got 25
38:04Is there 30?

38:11Oh dear
38:12I think you've lost it here
38:14At 30 pounds
38:16Are you pleased or disappointed?
38:18Please
38:19Just please
38:19Just please
38:20No I'm not
38:21That will do
38:21Don't answer my question
38:23No that will do
38:24Now be nice
38:26Still smiling
38:27Even without the whiff of profit
38:29Oh unlucky there Margie
38:31Unlucky
38:31No 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
38:41The Sportster fob watch
38:43Quick pit stop into profit please
38:4515 pounds in

38:55The hammer's coming down
38:56At 40 pounds
38:59Oh
38:59Oh
39:00No profit
39:02I'm sorry
39:03Not a loss
39:04Not a loss
39:05Not a loss
39:06Well it didn't exactly raise her head either but 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

39:56100 pounds
39:57100 pounds now
40:00Margie 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
40:09I tell you what I'm getting a bit worried
40:12I am
40:14You know when my voice goes squeaky
40:16You know the worry's coming out
40:18Hitting new octaves must mean crunch time
40:21Danny's final fling
40:22The earnest race antelope chair
40:25We've got a starting bid of 60 pounds
40:27100
40:28100 pounds
40:29There you go
40:31Keep going
40:32100 pounds
40:34Get in or lose out
40:35110
40:36Is there 120?
40:38It's backed up your knowledge there
40:41Well done
40:41At 110 pounds
40:44I can't contain myself
40:47Well done
40:48A tidy boost for Danny's final sale
40:51And that leaps him into the lead
40:54That might have won me the day
40:55It just might
40:56And it might not
40:58Nothing ruffles Margie's feathers
41:00Now it all hinges on her final lot
41:03Will this Victorian heavyweight go through the roof?
41:08We have 40 pounds
41:10Is there 45?
41:11Profit

41:38Oh no
41:38Last chance and fair fair warning
41:41Oh you've done it again
41:44You've done it again
41:45You've done it again
41:45I really loved it
41:46It's my favourite
41:47Favourite thing of the whole week
41:48I didn't
41:49I'm not surprised with that profit
41:52Ending today's auction on a high note
41:54You sealed it with that I think
41:56But let's go and do the maths
41:57Shall we?
41:58Can't you do them in your head?
41:59I'm not that good a mathematician
42:01Come on
42:02Leave it with me
42:03I'll have that tallied up faster than a gavel hits the block
42:07After a rollercoaster of bids and after several costs
42:11Danny chalked up a modest profit of 14 pounds and 60 pence
42:16But Margie also after costs and thanks to a couple of stellar sales
42:19Finished the day with a profit of 93 pounds and 80 pence
42:24Making her today's winner yet again
42:27That's four on the trot
42:28All accumulated profits at the end of the week will 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
42:42Or is it you making a mess of that?
42:44No it's not me making a mess of that
42:46Oh Margie
42:48The last laugh is still up for grabs
42:53Next time it's the final countdown
42:55Here 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
43:08I'll give you a high five when you're driving
43:11Oh that'll do
43:12I'll give you a high five when you're driving
43:15I'll give you a jack of this
43:16The답 is a great game
43:18And it's great
43:22But it's the final countdown
43:23There is a good deal
43:23What are you doing?
43:29The답 is a good time
43:30The답 is a great game
43:33The답 is a great game
43:33The답 is a great game
43:34The답 is a great game
43:36The답 is a great game
