00:01It's the nation's favourite antiques experts
00:03Behind the wheel of a classic car
00:06This car dances!
00:08And a goal 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?
00:29This is Antiques Road Trip
00:33Yeah
00:36Are we ready to roll?
00:38Low and slow
00:40Right, let's get this show on the road
00:43For one final outing
00:45I'm feeling good though
00:46I so am I
00:47Oh gosh, I didn't want to hear that
00:50And just like that, the gloves are off
00:52It's been a whirlwind
00:54Dealers Margie Cooper and Danny Sebastian
00:56Have gone from new partners to thick as thieves
00:59We've had a smashing time haven't we?
01:01Oh we've had a wonderful time
01:02We have
01:03And it's not over yet
01:04With £200 a piece
01:06And bouncing along in their 1991 Lincoln Town Car
01:09It's time for one last roll of the dice
01:12I like the rakish angle of your hat
01:14Is it your lucky hat?
01:16It's me lucky hat
01:17You know I've got to try and pull something out at Mag
01:19So me lucky hat's out
01:20Good
01:21Well I hope it's not that lucky
01:23Well blimey
01:24The banter's started early today
01:27Last time out
01:28There were moments of glory
01:29I've won a trophy
01:31And the sweet sound of victory
01:33Yes!
01:34Now these are right up my alley
01:36£100 we have
01:37Oh come on
01:39They were neck and neck
01:40120 is there 130?
01:43But Margie edged ahead
01:45Making it 4-0
01:46With the finish line now in sight
01:50You should have brought your lucky hat out a bit earlier
01:52Don't you worry about that
01:54I've got to try and make it respectable
01:56And I'll fight it to the death
01:59That's the spirit
02:00Their battle began in Bonnie's common
02:02Then rolled through the borders
02:04Before cruising the lakes
02:05Sweeping along the Midlands
02:07And now the grand finale unfolds
02:10In delightful Derbyshire
02:12First shop I go into
02:13I shall look for a lucky hat
02:16Let the great hat-off begin
02:18For their final fling our pair
02:20Are gallivanting their way
02:21Towards Hina in the Amber Valley
02:23But first it all kicks off with Danny in Nottingham
02:27A city of legends
02:29And literary greats
02:30All sitting above a hidden world
02:33A labyrinth of 800 caves
02:35Carved into the sandstone below
02:37Danny's first shop is next to the city's train station
02:40Hello big fella
02:41He's heading for Hopkinson Village Antique Centre
02:45A three floor feast of vintage finds, antiques and the unexpected
02:49Oh jeez
02:51Plus collectibles with cosmic credentials
02:56Hey man
02:58Vintage vision
03:01There's a lot of bits of glass here
03:05You can't beat mid-century continental glass
03:10And this is Swedish art glass
03:12Round about 1950s, 1960s
03:15So it's definitely got a retro feel to it
03:18Quite nice with these little bubbles that you can see inside
03:21I mean it's purely decorative
03:22But I mean that on its own
03:26I don't really think it's going to stand out
03:29I might have to try and put together a few pieces
03:33There's a nice piece of glass
03:35Czechoslovakian
03:37Bohemian glass
03:37Made round about 1960s
03:40Priced at £24
03:42Very nice also
03:43You've got the clear base
03:45And the red top
03:47Another one
03:48Quite nice in the green
03:50No price
03:54I think this piece has come off the high street to be quite honest
03:57Very modern this you know
03:59Oh it's got a few little chips on it
04:01Something like this would probably be a large bud vase
04:05Erm
04:06So it's quite practical
04:08So it's practical in
04:10Oh dear
04:14Don't worry nothing's broken
04:15Don't you worry
04:16Just my nerves
04:18Made a lot of noise but didn't do a lot of damage
04:21Occupational hazard
04:22Nothing to crash out about
04:24There's a lot for me to think about there
04:26While I recover from that close call
04:30Let's check in on your partner in crime
04:32The Lone Ranger
04:35Danny and I've got him really well
04:37He's been great companion
04:38He's good fun
04:39Been a joy to be with him
04:41I wonder how he's getting on
04:43I wonder if he's got his hat on
04:46Well it is his lucky one
04:48But we're nearly at the end
04:50So bring it on
04:51Another one
04:52Another road trip with Danny Sebastian
04:55Bring it on
04:56Let's see how you feel
04:58After the final auction
05:01Margie's heading to the medieval town
05:03Of Castle Donnington
05:05With a name that parks back to a vanished castle
05:08These days it's better known for the roar of heavy metal
05:11From the annual festival
05:13Margie's making a pit stop
05:14At once removed antiques in the centre of town
05:17And Aladdin's cave of collectibles and curios
05:20All harking back to a bygone age
05:22Owner Philip is on hand to assist
05:25Hi Philip
05:26You can't pass a gong without giving a quick
05:33That's a fantastic noise isn't it
05:35Very zen Margie
05:38Is it dinner time?
05:42Oh this is a sweet little mirror
05:44Look at that lovely decoration
05:46What we've got here is a 1930s mirror
05:50It's bevelled
05:52It's in very good nick
05:54Wooden framed
05:55I love a bit of bevelling
05:57That's a very expensive technique bevelling
05:59It gives you a sort of three dimensional look
06:02It just makes the whole thing more attractive
06:05Oh let's just have a good way to it
06:07Good way to it
06:08That's always a good sign
06:11Oh gosh yeah
06:12That's a nice out mirror
06:15And it's obviously been hanging somewhere
06:18And not touched
06:21Carefully does it
06:23Don't want seven years bad luck do we?
06:26Good job Danny's not anywhere in sight
06:28So one reflection
06:30Good one Margie
06:31There's no prize tag
06:34But if the price is right
06:36I'm going to buy it
06:38Nothing like a bit of bevelling to brighten the day eh?
06:42Back in Nottingham Danny's already had his eye on some glassware
06:47Let's see what else has caught his attention
06:50What a lovely house
06:52Charming but not even room for one of Danny's hats
06:57Now these are nice
06:59Made by Wedgwood
07:01Round about 1890
07:03Somewhere around there
07:04Late Victorian
07:05A real nice thing
07:07And a true antique
07:08Generally these tiles would have been used on the surround of the fireplace
07:12They're priced at 20 quid
07:14Which is cheap really
07:16If there were six of them
07:18I'd be interested in buying
07:20But because there's only two
07:21I'm going to give them a miss
07:23A cracking pair
07:24Just not enough to fire him up
07:26So looks like he's reverting to plan A
07:29And making a beeline for owner Ash
07:32Ash! There you are
07:33Found some glass
07:35I'd like to try and buy
07:37Now the only piece that has a price on it
07:41Is that one
07:43It's priced at 24
07:45There's a couple of chips on this piece
07:48And a couple of the pieces are modern
07:52I mean what could you do Ash?
07:54Well what I could do is the one that's priced
07:56Yeah
07:56I'll reduce that to 20
07:57And then I can do the whole lot at 25
08:00I'll take that
08:01Yeah?
08:02Yeah, I'll take that
08:03A colourful hall of glass for just £25
08:07Now that's a deal worth toasting
08:09Thank you
08:10Thanks very much
08:11Leaving Danny with £175 still in his pocket
08:15That's me, all done
08:16Cheers Ash!
08:17Cheers, see you later
08:18Oh, lovely
08:20Just like the glass, smashing shop
08:23And not a single breakage this time
08:27Meanwhile, over in Castle Donnington
08:29Margie's still having a good mooch
08:33Oh, now that's interesting
08:36This is a bent wood hat stand
08:39Now, there was a man called Thonet
08:41Back in the early part of the 19th century
08:44He came up with the idea that you could bend wood
08:48Using steam
08:51Michael Thonet was a German Austrian cabinet maker
08:54Who revolutionised furniture design
08:56With his patented wood steaming technique
08:59This allowed him to create elegant, lightweight pieces
09:03And by 1913, the firm was producing 1.8 million pieces a year
09:07Setting the stage for modern, mass-produced furniture
09:11It's known generically as bent wood furniture
09:15I think it's beech
09:17It's vintage
09:191950s
09:20And it's something that would sell
09:22Because people want to put things like this in their homes
09:24What I call today's antiques
09:28It's got a sticker on it
09:29Which says
09:31£60
09:33And...
09:34Danny can dangle his hat on that
09:37His bowler
09:39It's like working with Charlie Chaplin
09:43Well, you've got to hang your hat somewhere
09:45Yeah, go for that
09:46And by the looks of it, Margie's ready to talk turkey with Phil
09:51Right, Phil, I've had a good look round
09:53Ah, good
09:53Right
09:55For some unknown reason
09:57I've taken the liking to this sweet little 1930s mirror
10:01Yeah, it's a nice mirror
10:01You know, it hasn't got a ticket, Phil
10:03No, it hasn't, has it?
10:04No, go on then
10:05It could be quite cheap
10:06I mean, I could say £15
10:08Oh, I'd buy that
10:09Yeah, okay
10:10Great stuff
10:11And...
10:12I walked past this
10:13Hat stand
10:14Now then
10:15What were you thinking of?
10:16Well, again, that could be very reasonable
10:17Because I bought it with some other things
10:18It could be £20 if I'm interested
10:20Oh!
10:20Really shake my hand
10:21There we are
10:22Short and sweet
10:23Just £35 for the two
10:25£35
10:26Great, thanks very much
10:27Leaving Margie with £165
10:30Thank you
10:31Bye bye
10:31Bye bye
10:31Still to play
10:33Careful
10:34Off she goes
10:35To catch up with her chum
10:37Though she'll have to come back for that mirror
10:41Back on the road
10:42And appetites are building
10:44Did you know
10:46That the hot dog
10:47Yes
10:48Was invented in Derby?
10:50I didn't
10:51I thought it was originated in America or somewhere
10:54Close
10:54It was a Derby man
10:55In America
10:56What topping would you have on it?
10:58I'd have
10:59A little bit of English mustard
11:01And a little bit
11:02And tomato sauce
11:03And a little bit of Tommy sauce
11:04If I was to eat something like that
11:06I'd have it plain
11:06I wouldn't put mustard on it
11:08Just have it plain
11:09Why wouldn't I put mustard on it?
11:10Why?
11:11I'm out of stuff already, you see Marge
11:14Oh diggity dog
11:16Margie and Danny are crossing over the border to Derbyshire
11:19Heading to Ilkestone
11:22Set in the Earwash Valley
11:24It boasts one of the oldest charter furs in the country
11:27Dating back to 1252
11:29It's also known for its rich lace making tradition
11:33Oh this is beautiful
11:34And it's here that Margie and Danny are meeting Kate Knight
11:37Welcome to Clooney
11:39Hi Margie
11:39Hi Kate
11:40Hi Kate
11:42What a fabulous building
11:42It is a lovely Victorian building
11:44Absolutely
11:451884
11:46Purpose built for lace machines and ten tons each
11:49Never
11:50They are
11:50Ten?
11:51God
11:53Clooney Lace is a family run company with roots in machine made lace stretching back to the 1760s
11:59At the dawn of the industrial revolution
12:01Margie and Danny are meeting Amanda Briggs Good
12:05Professor of textiles from Nottingham Trent University
12:08To take a look at some of their lace archive
12:11Amanda
12:12Hi
12:13Hello
12:13So what have you got here?
12:15So I'm going to start by showing you a piece of handmade lace
12:19This is from the early 19th century
12:21So everything about this including the net has been made by hand
12:26That would have taken weeks and weeks
12:29Goodness
12:29And would have cost an awful lot of money to buy
12:32It was really the church, the aristocracy, the wealthy who could buy lace
12:36So throughout the sort of 18th and early 19th century there was a real drive in Nottinghamshire
12:42To create machine made lace
12:44So that they could make it more efficiently, make it cheaper
12:48Lace making is believed to have arrived in Britain in the 16th century
12:52Driven by its rising popularity in fashion
12:56Handmade lace was intricate and costly to produce
12:59But the industrial revolution changed that
13:01In 1808 John Heathcote invented the bobbin net machine
13:07Mechanising lace production
13:09Just a few years later in 1813
13:11John Levers adapted Heathcote's device into a large scale loom
13:16Capable of producing intricate lace designs
13:19Machines still in use here today
13:22In fact this is now the last remaining Levers lace maker in the UK
13:28Why did it come to Nottingham?
13:31There was an infrastructure here around knitting
13:34And the first machine made lace were based on knit
13:37But the machine made lace that we have that's called Nottingham lace
13:41Is a woven process, it uses jacquards
13:44The jacquard machine is attached to the loom and uses a series of punched cards
13:48Each acting like a set of instructions to automate the weaving of complex patterns
13:53These binary coded cards are often regarded as a forerunner of the modern computer
13:58A designer will have created a design and a draftsman
14:02And will have started to kind of create these notations
14:04And then there is a number sheet which goes along with that
14:07To the person who's going to develop the jacquards
14:10You can see here, you know, one of those circles, can't you, on those wings
14:14We had amazing engineers who were making Nottingham lace machines
14:18And they were transported around the globe
14:21And you can make Nottingham lace anywhere in the world
14:23It's about being made on a Nottingham lace machine
14:26Cluny lace still uses original Leibu's machines
14:30Some dating back to the 19th century
14:32Run by skilled technicians known as twist hands
14:35Like Tim Johnson, who's been making lace for 40 years
14:39Oh my goodness
14:41You can't hear yourself think
14:44I know, you can't
14:45It looks so cumbersome to make such a beautiful product
14:48There are faster, quieter, cleaner machines
14:52But the product is not the same quality
14:54How does it work?
14:56Basically, it's cams and gears and it swings
14:59And it's just one process after another
15:01It's just backwards, forwards, up, down, up, down
15:04Like a loom, isn't it?
15:05It's a loom
15:05It is
15:07It's a more advanced, more industrialised loom process
15:10Thousands of jacquard cards line the shelves
15:13Each one the DNA of a unique lace pattern
15:17Preserved for over a hundred years
15:19While machines handle much of the heavy lifting
15:21Many lace-making tasks still rely on the human touch
15:26Time for Margie and Danny to lend a hand to Julie Stones
15:29Who's working at a final stage
15:31Hello Julie
15:32So tell us what you're doing
15:34This is called draw threading
15:36It comes in one big piece and I'm separating each breadth
15:38So to do that we need to take these yellow threads out
15:42One thing's for sure Julie knows what she's doing
15:44Go to go
15:45Oh, I wouldn't mind the go
15:46See, there's two threads here
15:47So you just need to pick up one
15:49Because the two won't come out together
15:51And hold that end
15:52Hold up top
15:54How about that?
15:56Brilliant
15:57From antiques to delicate lace handling
15:59Danny's skill set certainly continues to grow
16:02Hold up the top
16:03Yep
16:04Still weaving its legacy today
16:06Clooney Lace is keeping tradition alive
16:09Creating intricate lace designs with centuries-old techniques
16:13For stage, screen, high fashion and even royalty
16:19Back on the road
16:21The day draws quietly to a close
16:24What do you fancy tonight then?
16:25Erm...
16:26I think when you're in Derby
16:28You can't beat a good old...
16:31Salad
16:33Or a good old belly laugh for that matter
16:38Nighty night you two
16:43Next morning, it's our duo's final day of shopping
16:47Well, Margie
16:48Here we go again
16:49Let's get cracking
16:52I'm certainly ready
16:56Yesterday, Margie was charmed by a 1930s mirror and a bentwood coat stand
17:02Danny can dangle his hat on that
17:03Leaving her with £165 to spend
17:07While Danny
17:09Scooped up a collection of coloured glass
17:12Don't worry, nothing's broken
17:14Leaving him with £175 to splash today
17:21And now, they're on the home stretch
17:24Bit sad, isn't it?
17:25It is a bit sad
17:26I think I can be a bit draining
17:28Really?
17:28Do you think you're draining?
17:30No, you're not
17:30You're a happy Harry and it's nice to be with a happy Harry
17:34Oh, I'll go with that
17:35That will do me
17:36That will do me
17:38Come on then, happy Harry and Harriet
17:40More mischief and mayhem await
17:43Starting with Danny
17:44Who's back at Ilkerston for a spot of shopping
17:47His next port of call, House of Antiques
17:50Looks like a big place
17:52Set in a 19th century mill
17:55And packed to the rafters with over 80 dealers
17:58Offering every kind of trinket, treasure and temptation
18:04Why'd you freak me to death?
18:06Don't do that again
18:08Oh, he's pushing his luck
18:10Good job she's not here
18:12Right, spook's over
18:14Oh, that's nice
18:16Let's resume shopping if you please
18:19Ooh
18:22These are nice
18:24Early 20th century
18:26Leather horse riding boots with trees
18:29There's a pair of them
18:30I mean the other ones down there
18:31Vintage clothing nowadays is on fire
18:35You're getting items that there's not a full rail of
18:39It's quite unique stuff
18:40So, the boots are in quite a good stead as well
18:43The trees are quite nice, you know
18:45In somebody's dressing room
18:46Always sell well
18:48Great props
18:48Priced at £95
18:50If I could get them
18:52They're a little bit rich to be honest
18:54If I could get them sort of half that sort of money
18:57I'd be walking away happy
19:00A happy man in well-heeled boots
19:02But plenty more to see yet
19:05That's interesting
19:07I bet you've got no idea what this is
19:10Do tell
19:11It's a pannier
19:13So, back in the day
19:14This would have gone on to a motorbike or a pushbike of some description
19:18And a child would have sat in it
19:21So it's a child carrier really
19:22Would have been from the 1920s to 1940s and that sort of period
19:27Before the days of health and safety, clearly
19:30There's your bracket for your bicycle
19:32I think nowadays you can have this on the bottom of the stairs
19:36Where you'd fill it with odds and ends
19:38It all comes under the same umbrella as antiques
19:42Repurposing, recycling
19:44Priced at £45
19:45If I can get that for about £20
19:48Then that will be going to auction with me
19:51Functional, charming and slightly terrifying
19:55Let's keep looking
19:57While we catch up with your chum Margie
20:00Who's made her way to the market town of Belper
20:03Home to one of the world's first water-powered cotton mills
20:07And now a proud part of Derbyshire's industrial heritage
20:11Margie's heading straight for Belper Antique Centre
20:14Tucked inside the historic Derbradeli Mill
20:17Built in 1834
20:19And once home to hosiery giant George Brettel & Co
20:25With £165 in her purse
20:27Margie's got her pick of stocking fillers
20:30From the weird to the wonderful and everything in between
20:33I bought one of these but mine was green
20:38Better colour
20:40Oh well, don't get into a spin about it
20:43How about a bit of kitchenalia?
20:48Been buttering up Danny Sebastian all week
20:51Tough on the biceps that
20:53Yeah, it's amazing isn't it that?
20:55But £68
20:58It's a bit modern
20:59She'll need a rest after that workout
21:01Oh!
21:03What's she spotted then?
21:05Right, so what have we here?
21:08A little box with somebody's life in it
21:12This is something to do with nursing
21:15And I'm assuming that, yes
21:17So Miss Bridgewater was a nurse
21:20Who became Mrs Eyre
21:22Who did a lot of work for the St John's Ambulance Brigade
21:27That is a long service St John's Ambulance medal
21:30Black and white stripes are the colours of the St John's Ambulance
21:34And you've got all this stuff in here
21:36All these little medals that she must have treasured
21:39Medals that have got an attachment to a person are more valuable
21:42It's got that personal touch
21:44I mean remember St John's is a voluntary organisation
21:49So everybody does that out of the goodness of their heart
21:53So there's a little crown here
21:55Which was probably given to them all during coronation year which was 1953
22:01But I just think it's really quite an interesting little group of medals
22:06And I quite like to buy these
22:09Medals with a story
22:10But no ticket price
22:12Let's leave Margie with her browsing and check in on Mr Danny
22:16In Ilkaston
22:17Ha ha ha ha
22:19Ba ba da da
22:21Eat your heart out Liza Minnelli
22:23Danny finds inspiration everywhere
22:28Oh
22:29This is quite
22:32Quite me
22:33I love mid-century pieces
22:35I love lighting also
22:38Everything about it is original
22:40The shade
22:42There's no damage to the wood
22:44It's priced at £65
22:47On the ticket it says 1940s to 1950s
22:50I think it's more 1950s
22:52It's in fabulous condition
22:54Make no mistake mid-century is in at the minute
22:57It's fabulous
22:58Especially if you've got a ship bar
23:00A bar in the shape of a ship
23:02And this would go on top of it
23:04Ah yes that classic shape bar
23:06I might just go for that
23:08I like it
23:10Ship shape and sorted
23:11Now it's over to dealer Judy to strike a deal
23:15Here
23:16Hello
23:19Hello Judy
23:20I've found a pair of riding boots
23:24Right
23:24They're priced up £95
23:26Wow
23:27I mean could I pay...
23:29Wait for it
23:3040?
23:31You can
23:32Yep
23:35Thank you
23:35Thank you
23:36I do
23:37But I've not finished yet
23:38Okay
23:38He's just getting going truth be known
23:41There's a little pannier basket
23:43Like a child's seat
23:45It's about £45
23:47Good
23:48Could I pay a score?
23:4920
23:50We can do 20 yes
23:53So there's also a boat light just round the corner
23:57Priced up at £65
23:59Yep
23:59I mean what would be the best on that?
24:02I mean I'd like to pay about £40
24:04I'm afraid it's £50 for that
24:06Two out of three as they say
24:09I'll take that
24:09Okay
24:11Right then, quick recap
24:1240 for the boots, 20 for the pannier and 50 for the lamp
24:16That's £110 all in
24:19Perfect
24:19Thank you
24:21Tally-ho and anchors away
24:23Two
24:24Yes
24:26With £65 still in the coffers
24:29Meanwhile, any doings in Castle Donnington?
24:36Yeah, very nice
24:38Yes, we know
24:39Can't pass a gong without a bong
24:42Hey, what are these?
24:44Oh, those look nice
24:46Now that screams
24:48Victorian without even me turning it over
24:51That is a very, very popular design during the Victorian period
24:55With a heron on it
24:56It's not brilliant
24:58Brilliant condition
24:59There's a little bit of a repair
25:01And probably there would be room for, you know, a hair
25:05You know, where people have mementos of people past
25:07But that is a typical Victorian brooch
25:12This little one here is cute
25:13This is like a scarf brooch, a pin brooch
25:15Same sort of era
25:16This was a very popular design during the 1880s, 1890s, 1900s
25:22They're not the best I've seen
25:23But I think that the price of them gives me a chance for profit
25:28The 16.50 each, which is £33, which I would sell together
25:32So I'm sure a deal can be done
25:36And I'm quite pleased with those
25:37So I'm going to have a word
25:38Margie's on a mission, and owner Dan's about to hear about it
25:43Now then
25:45Have you got a minute?
25:46Hello
25:46Found these two things
25:49Those are £33
25:52That one's a bit damaged
25:53So how much?
25:55We can do them for £28
25:56Thank you very much
25:58And I can't see a price on that lovely nurse's story
26:01So we really want £50 for that
26:04Yeah
26:04But we'll take £45
26:06£45 and £28
26:08Thanks so much
26:09Do you want some money?
26:10Please
26:12That's £73 all in
26:15Leaving Margie with £92 still jingling in her pocket
26:19Thank you very much, bye-bye
26:21And with that, she's off to reunite with her chum
26:26Where the chats drifted to the beautiful game
26:30Hey, Derby Count is the oldest football club in England
26:33I think it's been going for the longest time without stopping
26:37Not quite, but they were founding members of the league in 1888
26:41Are you a football fan?
26:43Am I a football fan?
26:45I'm a football fan
26:45I could have been a professional
26:47How long did you play for?
26:48Me?
26:49Yeah?
26:4990 minutes, generally
26:51He's been here all week, folks
26:54For their final outing together
26:56They're heading to the market town of Hina
26:59Once a hub of coal and ironstone mining
27:03Hina also lay on the route of the Ripley Rattler
27:07Country's longest and, in the words of D.H. Lawrence, most dangerous tramway
27:11The final stop, Hina Antique Centre
27:15Last shop
27:15Let's get something great
27:18Danny's through the door like a shot
27:21With Margie hot on his heels
27:23Once a depot for munitions and trams
27:26It's now four floors of vintage, retro and antique surprises
27:30With delights around every corner
27:33Suck it to me
27:34Steady on, Hendrix
27:36Yes
27:37Now, be sure to check every nook and cranny
27:43Oh my gosh!
27:45God!
27:46Was it the price tag that spooked him?
27:48Now, let's get down to business
27:52That's very attractive
27:53This is what we call majolica
27:55Majolica is the type of pottery
27:58Well, it came from Spain to Italy centuries ago
28:01It's an umbrella stand
28:03Isn't it lovely? The lovely boat
28:05Sadly, looking underneath it
28:07Look what's happened
28:09Someone's been a little bit too active with their umbrella
28:12And poked it right through the bottom
28:15So that's plopped me off a bit
28:17What a shame
28:18So I'm not going to buy that
28:20Yeah, nobody wants a soggy hallway
28:22Rain check on that
28:24And keep rummaging
28:25How about Mr Danny?
28:27Anything caught your eye?
28:34Nice piece
28:38There's a crack here
28:40And straight away I can see
28:42That that
28:43Is not bronze
28:44It is some sort of composite
28:47Some sort of stone
28:49It's got a bronze effect
28:50Look about it
28:53I'm not happy with that
28:56Shame
28:56Easy on the eye
28:58But a little light weight
28:59In the end
29:01How about that?
29:03I wish I had a mirror on
29:05Oh, you're not looking
29:06You're not looking for another hat
29:09I'm always looking for a hat, Margie
29:11Shall I look for an umbrella?
29:13Look at these, aren't these pretty?
29:14How about that?
29:16Oh, very nice
29:16Suit you?
29:18I prefer your bowler
29:20Who needs a catwalk, eh?
29:21When you have vintage flair
29:24Oh, Margie, we're made for each other
29:27Come on
29:28Let's head off
29:30Two peas in a giddy pod, eh?
29:34Oh
29:36Well, that's interesting
29:38I've got a little oil lamp here
29:40It says on the ticket
29:4218th century
29:43I don't think it is
29:45I think it's a little bit later than that
29:46Maybe 19th century
29:48Asian
29:50Brass
29:51Right through
29:52Quite nice with that corkscrew
29:54Stopper
29:55You'd put oil inside
29:57And you'd have a wick
29:59I like this
30:00How about the ticket price?
30:02£20 for a true antique
30:06It's in good condition
30:07And you could probably imagine somebody going up Mount Everest
30:11With just their little ray of light
30:14Just giving them a shimmer of light
30:17To walk up the mountains
30:20Looks like that little lamp has lit a fire under Danny
30:23Time to track down owner Jane
30:27Hello
30:28I've found you
30:30I've picked up this little oil lamp
30:33It's priced at £20
30:34I can take the £5 off
30:37£15
30:39At £15?
30:41Thank you
30:42I'm going to shake your hand as quick as possible
30:43Thanks very much Jane
30:45It's a lovely little thing
30:46Yeah it is
30:47That's sealed the deal
30:48And completes Danny's shopping
30:50Leaving him with £50 unspent
30:53I hope you do well with it
30:54I do as well
30:55Yeah
30:55Cheers Jane
30:56Bye
30:57That just leaves Margie and her rummaging
31:01So much to see in these places
31:04Right, what have we got in here?
31:06Yarderle
31:07Now that is a brilliant name in propelling pencils
31:10Very nice isn't it?
31:11They're in an original box
31:13The first ever pointed propelling pencil was patented in 1822
31:19Over a century later, in 1934, the Yardo Lead Company came along
31:24Named after its clever pencil that held a whole yard of lead in 12 3-inch pieces
31:30There's no lead in it, but it's got a nice little hallmark
31:34Lovely gift for a, it's very difficult to buy things for men or women in antiques
31:41And these are sort of the sort of things that you can afford
31:45There's another one here, it is silver
31:47This is in better condition than the Yardo Lead
31:50But the Yardo Lead one has that great name
31:52So we've lost the art of writing
31:54Which is a bit sad really isn't it?
31:55Nothing like a nice handwritten letter
31:57But with antiques you've always got collectors of everything
32:00There's one here 65, I haven't, there's no price on that
32:03Maybe it's for the two
32:06That's got her grooving
32:08Time to tango with the owner
32:10Ah Jane
32:11Oh yeah
32:12Hi
32:13Jane I've seen these two silver pencils
32:17And I can only find that
32:18For the pair?
32:19Yeah?
32:20Yes
32:20So that seems quite reasonable actually
32:23Yeah
32:23So I'm not going to hit you that hard
32:24Just a teeny bit
32:25I could take the five off so it'd be 60
32:28That's fine
32:29Yeah
32:30Thank you
32:31Final deal done
32:33And Margie's wrapped up her shopping
32:35Leaving her with £32 unspent
32:38Thank you very much
32:40Thank you so much
32:42That's it
32:44Last shot
32:46And onto the last auction
32:47Oh Margie
32:48I didn't want it to end
32:52But alas
32:53Even the best adventures must wind down
32:57I think you can say this has been a really successful partnership
33:00I'll second that
33:02Margie, do you know what I'm wondering?
33:04What?
33:05Could we ever do this trip again?
33:07Let's try
33:08I'll give you a high five when you're driving
33:10So I'll give you half a high five
33:13Oh that'll do
33:15That will do
33:16That hurt actually, it was a bit strong that was
33:19And I for one hope you do it again
33:22But shut eye for now
33:27Way hey, it's auction day
33:30And the final curtain call on an adventure packed week
33:34Last day
33:35How do you feel?
33:36Well I feel quite terrible
33:37I've lost a gig
33:39And I'm going to be losing you
33:41I hope we can stay friends
33:42I want to stay friends, I want to go out for coffee, go out for tea
33:45You can take me out for dinner
33:46Oh can I? Take you out for dinner
33:49Anyway
33:50Winner pays eh?
33:52After winding through the East Midlands
33:54Our Pally duo have hauled their treasures to North London
33:58And the Southgate auction rooms
34:00Bidders are eyeing up the goods and settling in
34:03With more online and on the phones
34:0650!
34:07On the roster of today, auctioneer Bill Carroll
34:10£220, it's got to go
34:13Danny spent £150 on five auction lots
34:16Any standouts Bill?
34:19Well they've brought in a great set of riding boots
34:22Whether somebody would wear them for riding, I don't know
34:25You could do all sorts, I've even had people turn these into table lamps
34:29Believe it or not
34:30I believe you!
34:32Margie forked out £168 on her five auction lots
34:36Spot a contender Bill?
34:37We've got a 1930s mirror
34:40But it's edged with flowers on each corner
34:43They sell, they don't get a lot of money
34:45But you won't be taking it home
34:47Right then, drum roll please
34:48Oh look, someone's keen
34:50Let the final showdown begin
34:53Here we go
34:54Best of luck
34:55And to you too dear
34:57Thank you
34:57All very civilised, for now anyway
35:01Margie's kicking things off with her bent wood hat stand
35:05Well I suppose it's practical isn't it?
35:07Yeah
35:07Comes apart
35:08Pay the tenner
35:0920
35:11Margie, I'm worried
35:12We've got £30
35:13Oh that's right
35:14Is there £35?
35:15Oh, £35 online
35:17Is there £40?
35:18No
35:18At £35
35:20Last chance and fair warning
35:21At £35
35:24Thank you
35:26Well, that didn't stand around for long
35:28And the first profit of the day to boot
35:31Well done
35:32Well done
35:33Well done
35:33Speaking of boots
35:34Time for Danny's first lot
35:36And the auctioneer's favourite
35:38Will they kick up a tidy profit?
35:41Selling me soul here
35:42Selling me soul
35:43I'm sure you are, let's see if it works
35:44Do you get it?
35:45I do, I do get it
35:46I do get it
35:49£40 to start
35:50I think that's cheap
35:51Is there £45?
35:53£45 is now in the room
35:54Surely £50
35:55Surely
35:55£45
35:56Get in all these out
35:58At £45
36:00Look, be satisfied
36:02Small profit
36:03A fiver
36:03That's coffee in a bun
36:06Well I want caviar
36:08A modest march towards that caviar dream
36:12Well it's a profit
36:13It is, and I like them
36:16Now let's see how Margie's two Victorian roaches fare under the spotlight
36:21We have £10
36:23Is there £15?
36:24There is £15
36:26There is £15
36:26Is there £20?
36:27£20
36:27At £20
36:28Is there £25?
36:30That's £3
36:30At £20
36:31I can see the disappointment
36:33At £25
36:34It's got to go
36:36Bang!
36:37That will do
36:37You've made a loss
36:39Little monkey
36:41Unlucky
36:41Indeed, a little tarnished in the end
36:45Should have made £35
36:47But I'm not, I'm not bitter
36:49The highs and lows of the sale room eh?
36:52Back to Danny now
36:53Back to Danny now
36:54And his ship Lamp
36:55Will it be plane sailing or stuck in the doldrums?
36:58We've got a clearing bids actually, believe it or not
37:01We've got £35
37:03We have £50 now
37:05We have £50
37:06Is there £55?
37:08£50
37:09Keep going
37:10There's the hammer
37:11The hammer comes down at £50
37:15Even Stevens
37:16Even Stevens
37:18It's not a loss is it?
37:19No
37:19And that little lamp set sail for New Horizons
37:24You liked it?
37:25I did
37:25Well that's all that matters
37:27I probably bought it with my heart rather than my head
37:30Dangerous on this competition
37:33Next up, Margie's medals and memorabilia
37:36A life story in objects
37:39£30 in, is there £35?
37:42£30 is there £35?
37:44£35 is in the room
37:46Is there £40?
37:47£35 the hammer comes down and it goes
37:50Oh, unlucky
37:52Ah, never mind
37:54Not a medal winning moment
37:56But onwards she goes
37:58We've remembered her
37:59Yeah
38:00She lives on
38:01Yeah, absolutely
38:02Here's something to add a little colour to your day
38:06Danny's collection of vintage art studio glass
38:09They've all got the stickers on them
38:11So they're brand new
38:15We have £15
38:17That's a start
38:18Is there £20?
38:19I doubt it
38:20Margie
38:21We've gone lower than our £20
38:22But last chance and fair warning
38:24At £20
38:26At £20
38:28So what have you made?
38:29I've lost a fiver
38:30Sorry
38:32Better than losing a tenner
38:34A little loss
38:36But Danny's still got glass half full energy
38:39Nice hat by the way
38:40Where was he for the hat stand sale?
38:44Hoping to draw in some big bids
38:46Margie's two silver pencils
38:49£40 to start
38:51Is there £45?
38:52Good start
38:54£45
38:5450
38:55No
38:5655
38:56It's at £55
38:58Get the hammer down
39:00The hammer comes down at £55
39:03Yeah
39:04God of that Margie
39:05I thought they were going to go for £100
39:07That's certainly what Margie had in mind
39:09Oh well, onwards and upwards
39:12Now they're a little bit disappointing aren't they?
39:14Well
39:14But we're not to worry are we?
39:16I'm quite happy
39:17Are you quite happy?
39:17Well you were running away with it
39:19Well it is their final showdown
39:21Will Danny's oil lantern spark some action from the bidders?
39:25Can you use it?
39:26Of course you can
39:27So you put wheel into the lamp
39:29Yeah
39:29And then you put a wick into it
39:30Right
39:31And then you light the wick and it's
39:32And you're away
39:33And you're away
39:34Right up the stairs
39:35To bed
39:36Exactly
39:37You've got it
39:39£5
39:40£10
39:41£10 I have
39:42Lovely thing
39:43£15
39:44£20
39:45That £20
39:46Last chance and fair
39:48You made a profit
39:48Any more?
39:49No?
39:50I thought that might have lit up the sale room
39:53Really?
39:55Still, a profit's a profit
39:57You know what it's like in auction
39:59I do
40:01Certain days, different people
40:03Things surprise you, things disappoint
40:07Step aside Socrates
40:09Let's see if your 1930s bevelled mirror can surprise us all
40:12If it fetches 20 I'll be pleased
40:16Well best of luck
40:17Thank you
40:17Now we've got £35 to start
40:20Surely £40
40:21At £35 is there £40
40:23At £40 online
40:25At £40 it's got to go
40:27Things surprise you at auction
40:29At £40
40:31That's, I'm pleased with that
40:33It did you proud Margie
40:35And a tidy profit
40:37That might win you the game
40:39Oh, I'm sure it will
40:42One final chance to pedal up some profit
40:45Danny's child carrier pannier
40:47Danny's child carrier pannier is still to go
40:48Well you could still put it on a bike
40:50You can do it
40:52I mean it's all the rage now
40:53Is that allowed?
40:54Looks like an accident waiting to happen to me
40:59£20 is what we have
41:01£25 is there £30
41:03Of course there is, there is somewhere
41:05At £25
41:07At £30
41:0835
41:09Nick
41:10At £35 it's got to go
41:12It's in the room
41:13At £35
41:15Yes
41:15I think that was a very cute little buy
41:17And a cutely profitable one too
41:21I have no idea who's won this one
41:23No I haven't
41:26I just hope I have
41:28With four wins for Margie already
41:30I think the whole sale room's rooting for you Danny
41:32And with the margins this close
41:34It's anyone's game
41:37After ruining the roost all week
41:38Margie bows out with a loss of £59.60 after costs
41:44Which means he's done it
41:46Albeit by losing less
41:48After sale room fees
41:49Danny was down £56.80
41:52That makes Danny today's winner
41:54By a whisker
41:55But with four wins to his one
41:58Margie still takes the overall crown
42:01I'm very very pleased
42:03You've ended on a high note
42:04I've ended on a very high note
42:06I'm pleased for you
42:07And working with you's been
42:09Oh same here
42:11It's been a wonderful trip Margie
42:12You're a better fresh air
42:14You're a whirlwind of fresh air Margie
42:16You're a whirlwind
42:17And what a whirlwind week it's been for these two
42:21What do you think of this bad boy?
42:25From bumpy beginnings
42:26Yes
42:27To shared shenanigans
42:32Small, medium, large
42:34Small please
42:37Not to mention countless nameslips
42:41Margie
42:41But somewhere along the way
42:44This comedy duo became
42:47With all my love
42:48A match made in heaven
42:51Would you marry me?
42:53And honestly
42:54I can't wait for more
42:58Next on Antiques Road Trip
43:00A glittering couple
43:02Do you know what I'm really looking forward to?
43:04Your scintillating sparkle
43:06Aww
43:06So, shield your eyes
43:09It's Izzy Balmer
43:10If there's something sparkly to be found
43:11You can guarantee I'll find it
43:13And ball of fire, Mark Hill
43:15What more could a man want?
43:17What more could a man want?
