NARRATOR: The nation's favorite celebrities-- Oh.

Just want to touch base.

NARRATOR: --paired up with an expert.

Boo!

What.

NARRATOR: --and the classic car.

Their mission, to scour Britain for antiques.

My office now.

NARRATOR: The aim to make the biggest profit at auction but it's no easy ride.

Who will find hidden gem?

Like that.

NARRATOR: Who take the biggest risk?

This could end in disaster.

NARRATOR: Will anybody follow expert advice?

But I love this.

Why would you buy something you're not going to use.

NARRATOR: There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.

No, don't want to shake hands.

NARRATOR: Put your pedal to the metal.

Let me go first gear.

NARRATOR: This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.

[MUSIC PLAYING] Yeah.

[MUSIC PLAYING] Today, we'll be crossing the Cotswolds, not the Andes, with two friends who happen to be very fine actresses.

How are you feeling in the passenger seat with me?

Hanging on to this seat belt hard.

I know.

NARRATOR: Just acting, I think.

Yep, it's Sharon Maughan and Tina Hobley.

How lovely?

And we're in the country antique shopping.

So you're going to be hanging out with antiques other than me today.

NARRATOR: Those two have been long familiar faces on our TV screens.

With Tina pulling pints in the Rovers Return and Sharon appearing in commercial breaks.

I loved those adverts.

They were fantastic.

I really do hope that they bring them back one day.

NARRATOR: Yeah, me too.

They first met when they co-starred in top BBC medical drama Holby City.

And I ended up having an affair with your husband, I think, didn't I?

You did.

We had a big cat fight.

I quite liked having a cat fight with you.

You told me that Robert Powell wasn't my father after all those years.

Yeah, but Robert Powell was never your real father, darling.

I know.

And not in real life.

NARRATOR: Sure to be well acquainted with Holby goings on will be our expert antiquers James Braxton and Raj Bisram.

Raj, you've never trained as a doctor, have you?

White coat and stethoscope, badge of office, aren't they?

Well I think with my medical complaints I should definitely-- I'm going to need a nurse with me.

NARRATOR: There be plenty cream, I hope.

At least they know a bit about vintage cars like this 1965 Jag Mark 2.

When they finished the Mark 1 they said, we want to build another one.

Yeah.

And we want to give it more space, more pace, and more grace, or even grace pace and space.

Could have been that way around.

NARRATOR: Mind you that 1967 Volvo is pretty sprightly too which should please car fantino.

I love speed.

You love speed.

Speed, speed, speed.

So second gear.

This is a little no.

I did it.

I did it, don't-- don't be funny about it.

I did it.

Went in second gear.

I'm very happy.

- Well done.

Well done, Sharon.

Well done.

NARRATOR: So with 400 pounds each plus a tiger in their tank, let's get them teamed up and on the road.

Hello.

Hello, hello, hello.

How are you?

- James.

- Sharon.

Hello, Sharon.

Lovely to meet you.

Tina, lovely to meet you.

Hello, Tina.

I'm Raj.

Meet your competition, Sharon.

- Hello, Sharon.

- How are you?

Good to see you.

- Lovely to meet you.

- Tina.

- Hello.

James.

- Lovely to meet you.

Hello, nice to meet.

Hi, James.

You you're looking at the winners.

Oh.

Come on.

Nice.

The winners are the first there.

Yes, off we go.

- OK, may the best man win.

- Bye bye.

Let's get to the shops.

NARRATOR: These two don't hang about, do they?

Today's trip will end up beside the seaside at an auction in Brighton.

But there's an awful lot of shopping around Gloucestershire before then starting out in the County city.

What are you like at the haggle?

The haggle?

Is there a bit of Marrakesh in you?

In Marrakesh there is but I mean, do you think the English are any good at it?

I think we should be.

But I'll hugging today if you want me to haggle.

Shall I haggle?

Yeah, I want you to haggle.

NARRATOR: Sounds like our experts are taking their job very seriously.

For a collector or someone who's passionate about antiques, buying something that they can live with, that's-- that's the beauty.

Do you think that's what we should do today then I should only be-- No.

No.

NARRATOR: Our first celebrity dip toe into water is Tina in the port city of Gloucester down by the docks.

Oh yes.

This is good.

Do we go upstairs downstairs?

Yeah.

You go one way, I'll go the other.

OK.

If you see anything you like, give me a shout, yeah?

I will.

OK, see you in a second.

NARRATOR: I wonder if Tina's experience in medical drama might pay off.

I like that.

NARRATOR: There are always tense affairs, aren't they?

You're the coin man, aren't you?

Medals.

Medals, medals, medals, not coins.

NARRATOR: How's our unflappable consultant getting on?

I do like that.

NARRATOR: Ticket price is 95 pounds.

I think I'm going to have to call Tina.

NARRATOR: Tina.

What poise?

Oh, I like this.

So it was an antique desk stool.

Look at that and it's all attached.

40 pounds, if I can get it for 20, I'm sure we could sell it for more than that.

It suits you but you mustn't be buying anything without checking on me price wise.

There's a lot of them around and I don't think they're great, great sellers.

Oh OK, fine.

Well that's why you're here.

We'll leave that one.

NARRATOR: Very stern Raj.

His lamp's one on the wish list and now Tina's grabbed dealer Vic.

Leather jewelry box, that's quite nice.

It's pretty.

Very pretty, isn't it?

NARRATOR: It's only got a key as well.

Oh, it gets better.

It's 95 quid.

And you can have it for 60 quid.

Really?

OK. - Yup.

- Good.

Yeah and that I'm sure.

It's the right key.

Oh, I like that.

You've got a very old London maker lock.

And I can have it for 60?

60 quid will do.

I like that.

Thank you.

Yeah, I have to consult my expert though.

Yeah, so you welcome.

NARRATOR: I'm not sure she wants to.

What about her other lean antiquing machine?

Oh my gosh, we've got a little Cotswold moment.

NARRATOR: Breathe in.

That's so lovely.

He's done that before, hasn't he?

He's probably used to it.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: Well, he has.

They seem to be navigating the hills rather nicely.

Motoring to their first shop in Winchcombe, the Cotswold town on the river Isbourne.

A very nicely park.

Look at that.

And we lucky bunnies.

NARRATOR: Yeah, it's a popular place all right.

First antique shop, isn't this exciting?

Winchcombe antique shop.

I am quite excited actually.

It's all about fate.

Something will find us.

NARRATOR: Well let's first find the proprietor.

Here's our man.

Hello there, Richard.

I'm Sharon.

Lovely to meet you, Richard.

Hello, James.

Hello there, James.

Good to meet you.

Well, it's very nice.

I like to be surrounded by Rosewood.

Yes, I like to be surrounded by men.

And I am.

NARRATOR: Yeah, that's true.

Now antiques, there's definitely enough here, I'd say.

Oh, I love a box.

Look at this gorgeous oak stationery box.

Let's open it up and see what's inside.

Look how lovely that is.

All your filing, all your envelopes, all your letter headed paper, your ink, your ink wells.

This is for your pens.

When I was at school, you had to write with pen and ink.

You couldn't write with biro as they called it.

But I don't know if there's a market for it.

I have to keep reminding myself not just what I like but how I can make money.

NARRATOR: Ticket price, 78 pounds.

I absolutely love this.

It's described as a Victorian cylinder cupboard.

I didn't know what the Victorians did with a cylinder cupboard.

But what I would do with this, this is very Soho House.

That's a miniature drinks cupboard, isn't it?

It's so cool and a beautiful decanter on top, perhaps.

But it's expensive.

It's 225 pounds.

NARRATOR: Sharon's already up to speed.

What's James got there?

Three early colored engravings of Brighton scenes.

This first one here is known as King's Road Brighton but rather fun on the beach.

They've got the fish market.

And Brighton fish market used to be on the shingle.

And then we've got another one here.

This is the chain pier.

This was built by a chap called Captain Samuel Brown, who built early suspension bridges.

And this predates Clifton suspension bridge.

And then this is the other one here.

We got here the Victorian fountain erected in 1846.

So it must be post 1846.

They're nice.

They're rosewood.

They got gilt slips, original frames.

What have we got?

We got 118 pounds Brighton scenes.

We're selling in Brighton.

I think that has our name on them.

NARRATOR: Could be a canny find.

Sewing machine I used to make all my own clothes when I was a young girl.

It was the only way I could get the clothes I wanted to buy in the slums of Liverpool.

So I had a hand sewing machine, rather like that one.

Mine was a Singer.

See the thing is I don't know what is basically second hand, and what is antique.

NARRATOR: That is a very good question.

Over in Gloucester, things have taken a military turn.

This looks rather interesting.

Looks like an army kit, isn't it?

So 1944 it says.

How wonderful?

There's a grooming kit, isn't it?

And it's got the paperwork to go with it.

Look.

Oh, I like this.

And we're going to be selling in Brighton and I think this is quite trendy.

NARRATOR: Ticket price, 55 pounds though.

So the whole kit is there.

It's complete.

The brushes, the trimmers, the combs, and the scissors.

NARRATOR: Well, let's see what Raj makes of it.

If you could get him down to say 20-- Yes.

Then I think that that would be quite saleable.

- Do you?

- Yeah, I know.

Right, let's go and see if I can do a deal then.

Shall we leave it for the moment?

- All right.

- Because I want-- before we do a deal, you want to do a deal.

I know you want to do a deal.

Can I show you something?

- Yes, of course.

OK, I've got a couple things.

Come this way.

Come this way.

NARRATOR: Raj's list includes a tunic, like the one Tina admired earlier, and that lamp.

What do you think?

Well, I think I've thrown something away like that, maybe, last week.

What a reaction?

NARRATOR: The ankle poison lamp was invented in the early 1930s.

And this one's by [INAUDIBLE] Sons who soon began manufacturing it under license.

This kind of stuff is really in Vogue at the moment.

And this at auction can make 70 to 100 pounds.

No problem at all.

Now there's 95 pounds on the ticket but again if we could get this at 50 pounds.

Yeah.

Snap it off our hands, absolutely.

This would be a good deal.

Would it?

And the other thing I found.

- I love this.

- Do you?

Yeah.

Well, I love it too.

Yes.

NARRATOR: It's a tunic the glorious Gloucester's regiment, ticket price 120 pounds.

Right now, I'm going to give you a challenge, OK.

I want you to go in there and get these three items, OK, for 100 pounds.

NARRATOR: Pranky, Raj.

Let's go and see what we can do.

Absolutely.

NARRATOR: Now is Vic there?

Vic?

Oh, yes and Rob.

Hi, guys.

Rob.

- Good day.

I'm Vic.

And Vic.

OK, so I'm very excited about the couple of items we found.

So the jacket, the beautiful Gloucester.

Gloucester Regiment bandman's jacket.

Yes, we love it.

Well, what's the best price you could do?

We'll probably come down to 60.

60 pounds?

Thank you.

Now we love the lamp.

Yes.

It's an industrial lamp.

It's very on trend at the moment.

We think we can do a lot with that.

But what's the best price on that?

It belongs to another dealer but we'll take 50 quid for it.

Thank you very much.

Now there's just one little thing that caught my eye.

It's the army barber's kit.

I think 20 would be great for me on that.

OK, then we'll call at 25.

25, so what are we up to, Raj?

60, 50, that's 110.

And 25, it's 135.

If you get another fiver off that and a fiver off the jacket then I think for the sake of a tenner, we're at 125.

I think that's a fair deal, see what they could do.

What do you think gentlemen?

You know, you said, I had a nice smile.

Say it again.

- What can I say?

I think-- How about giving me it for 20, the barbers kit?

We can do that.

I'll take it away.

Really?

- We can do that.

- Thank you.

OK, so-- Could I make it 55 on the jacket?

And I tell you we're going to win this.

I bet you'll win it anyway because you've got the best regiment in the British army.

Oh.

You could even try the hat on if you like.

Oh.

Oh, I love it.

I love it all.

Does it suits me, sir?

[INTERPOSING VOICES] You think you could come down another fiver for me?

I could probably do that for you.

Gentlemen, you are fantastic.

Shake their hand.

- Delighted.

Thank you.

We Know.

Good doing business with you.

Brilliant.

NARRATOR: Well, that was quite a big deal.

And one [INAUDIBLE] Oh, look at that.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, all right.

Thanks.

NARRATOR: Now while those two stick the swag in the Jag.

So pleased with what we've got.

Brilliant things.

Yes.

I mean, you did really well.

NARRATOR: Where are in Winchcombe?

Georgian bird feeder.

Oh, it could fit in a birdcage.

Little tiny bird feeder for in a bird cage when everyone had little-- little budgerigar.

I've never seen that before.

Isn't that sweet?

Very cheap.

It's 15 pounds for anybody who has a budgie.

NARRATOR: Of course, she's good.

Time for a bit of show and television.

I spotted these pictures and you know the dear old humble engraving.

And the first one is the scene in Brighton.

Oh my goodness.

Totally authentic.

I love this one.

This is this is the front Brighton.

And then you got bathing machines, rather fun.

Bathing machine?

Yeah but to preserve your modesty.

So you've undressed in there.

And then the machine was taken into the water and then you jumped out.

Oh, wow.

So you've got these three things here, nicely framed in rosewood.

They're bit yesteryear.

So what do we think about them being a bit yesteryear?

Well it's going to Brighton.

There will be some still people harking back to the past, won't they?

You don't think it's a bit cold to Newcastle?

No because actually I don't think they have much relevance up here.

I think they have more relevance in Brighton, don't they?

Yeah, they do.

Yeah.

Yeah, they do.

Have you found anything?

NARRATOR: You bet she has.

Oh, isn't that lovely?

So station-- Stationery.

Do you think all your envelopes or-- Your envelopes, your letter headed paper, your ink, look at this beautiful little inkwell and ink thing.

And your pens here.

And the lid, does it open?

I didn't know it had the lid.

And then this may open.

Does that open?

Oh no, I did-- I did think that-- - Secret draw.

I didn't have the courage you had.

How much do they got it?

70 something.

That sounds a bit cheap.

I think it's good value.

Oh, you're very good, Sharon.

This extraordinary little thing here-- Cylindrical wash den.

Victorian cylinder cupboard.

Yeah.

It was a cylinder wash tub.

A wash stand, yeah.

It's a wash stand, that's what it was.

But that's why it was marble.

Oh, that's why it's marble.

So you would have put-- had your wash basin there and then you could poured it on.

And then you'd-- you'd wash.

It's quite a plain one because this is made of pine.

Do you like that?

I like cylindrical things because it has novelty.

It's different.

It has novelty.

NARRATOR: Bends the knees and off to see Richard.

We need to get these things as cheaply as we can.

Is there a deal to be done?

Something, what's the lowest you could do on that?

This oak stationery box.

Yeah, well that I haven't got much room for maneuver.

So it's 70 at present, and the best is-- 65?

Literally just 70 I can do.

NARRATOR: Now the ticket price on this was 225 pounds, remember.

This very expensive-- Drinks cabinet.

--very, very expensive drinks cabinet.

What's your best price on this?

I'd probably have to get the chap a call.

Why?

What's he got on it?

- A lot of money.

- It's got a lot of money.

It's pie.

Yeah, the best I can do is 200 without speaking to him.

So I need to give them a shout.

Could you give them a shout?

Yeah, no worries.

Give him a shout.

No but really he needs literally know it would need to be half that.

I'll try.

What about these mid-19th century photos?

Well, they are Brighton, aren't they?

So that's ideal for you.

But the best I can to do on that is 90.

90?

Yes, 30 pounds a piece.

NARRATOR: Doesn't sound too bad.

But while Richard gets on the phone, Sharon has one more little suggestion.

Do you know what that is?

I don't know what that is.

This is a Georgian bird feeder.

I love it.

For a cage, for the bird cage, for your little beloved budgie.

- Isn't that lovely?

- Isn't it lovely?

And you know what it's Georgian.

I've never seen anything like it before.

- Nor have I.

- Do you like it?

I really like.

Oh, I'm so excited.

I really like it.

I found it.

NARRATOR: But with the other dealer out of reach, let's focus here.

So definitely having that-- Good.

I think it's a choice between that or that.

Well, obviously Brighton, we're going our auction house is in Brighton I think we should take a punt.

We got two proper antiques.

- You like that, don't you?

- I love it.

So happy about that.

Very clever.

OK.

I'm with an expert.

I learn fast.

I'm on my way.

Come on, you learn very fast.

We'll, have those two, Richard.

No problem at all.

NARRATOR: Nicely done, one each, 105 pounds to pay.

That's it, Sharon.

Milk it.

70, 80, 90, 100, I believe you might owe me a 5 pounds note.

NARRATOR: Oh, she's such a performer.

As is her friend and rival.

I have known Sharon for about 12 years.

She came on Holby to play my mother and whenever I can get that in particularly on television.

And then we became dearest, dearest friends.

If I took one thing away from Holby, it was meeting Sharon.

NARRATOR: These Days Tina has yet another string to her bow, radio.

I don't know how I've got into this world but I do a weekday show drive time show.

It's Monday to Friday.

And then I do a Sunday show which I've been doing for the last three years.

And I absolutely love it.

What do you think would be the ideal music for us to be playing?

Oh, now what would I play to go with this beauty?

I think she deserves a bit of Nina Simone.

Would you like to hear that?

Yeah, she's very smooth.

You're very smooth.

NARRATOR: There's another reason Tina is a hit on drive time.

She's also a keen motor racing fan with a license which explains why they're currently heading deep into the Cotswolds towards Prescott hill to learn about one of the very oldest forms of motorsport, speed hill climbing.

This course, a throwback to the more rudimentary early days, is basically the drive to an old manor house as well as being the home of the Bugatti owner's club, Humphrey.

Oh Stuart, look at that.

Yeah, we're very lucky to have this car.

NARRATOR: Stuart Webster is the general manager.

So are Bugatti's from the '20s and '30s, are they actually raced here still today?

Yes, we're the Bugatti owners club.

And we like to show very much the history of the car.

So yes, we still have cars which were born '90s years ago, which are still raced here today.

Do you have to own a Bugatti to be a member of the club?

Absolutely, not.

So we have 2,200 members today.

Of our members, there's about 200 of them that own a Bugatti.

But we then have the person who likes to come to Prescott to watch the motor racing as well.

NARRATOR: Racing at Prescott Hill goes back almost 80 years.

Although, the sport itself is even older, dating from a time around the turn of the century, when racers were first encouraged to keep off public roads.

It's a short and very fast time trial.

Circuit racing, the start point and the finish point are exactly the same place.

On a hill climb, you go from one point and you finish a completely different point.

And that was part of the challenge, I guess, taking something which looked like an easy thing to do but turns into something which is really quite technical and quite difficult to do.

How long is the actual course itself?

Oh, it's 1,127 yards and we, of course, as we're old we don't work in meters.

We work in yards.

So 1, 127 yards.

All right, easy on the old.

I think he was referring to me, not you.

NARRATOR: Without doubt.

So the course record is 35.51 seconds 1,127 yards, two hairpins.

And a near hairpin at the finish line as well, which I think will catch your breath when you go around it because it looks like you're going off the end of the world.

Does it?

I can't wait.

When can we get going?

NARRATOR: Well, how about right now?

With youthful Bugatti driver, Piers, at the wheel.

So what do you want me to do?

If we pump that lever, it'll pump air into the fuel tank which will force fuel through to the carburetor.

So you want to pump away as hard as you possibly can.

That'll be absolutely fine.

Yeah.

We'll switch the magneto on.

And press the starter.

Right, let's go for it.

NARRATOR: Stirling Moss competed in his very first trial here in 1948.

He came fourth.

What a tricky car to drive because is a clutch gearbox which means you have so match your friends, [INAUDIBLE] If you get a slight crunch, it means you haven't quite got it absolutely right.

That's was a good one.

NARRATOR: You can see how some of the greats hone their skills up here.

I think it's the best noise in the world.

It is.

Every time it starts, it really does get the blood flowing.

NARRATOR: This 37A Bugatti is one of only three left in the world.

82 years old and it's still as good as the day it ever left the factory, so they certainly made them to last.

NARRATOR: Right, now what does Murray Walker say whenever they cross the line?

But while Tina has been chasing that course record, our other pair have been urging the Volvo to new heights.

Birdlip Hill is one of the steepest hills.

You joking?

NARRATOR: Relax, you're heading the other way, taking our root down to the valleys of Stroud and another chance to strike a shopping blow.

Is Tina very competitive, Sharon?

Oh, she's so competitive.

She will want to win.

Do you think we'll win?

Of course, we'll win.

NARRATOR: Is the right answer.

Malt House.

Yay.

NARRATOR: The yeast beer brewery.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: Now, an antique center with over 100 dealers but it's getting late.

There's a lovely guitar here, rock star owned, electric guitar.

I have been expecting you, Mr.

Bond.

NARRATOR: Sharon seems the more urgent, I think.

I rather, I think they're the coolest beautiful art deco shape.

And if they can work, what cool soap dispensers they would be and body cream in the bathroom.

But on the other hand, I think barbershops are having a real Renaissance, aren't they?

But that would mean a barber would have to buy them.

NARRATOR: I don't see why not.

And it's still in there.

Look at that.

This is completely what you call authentic.

It looks too good to be true, doesn't it?

What's it on the price tag?

The price tag says 145 pounds, which is a lot of money from a barber shop circa 1940.

Great item, aren't they?

And the fact that it works.

And it work, very nice action.

Look at the resistance.

NARRATOR: Oh, yeah let's have a word then.

- Hello, James.

- Mark.

Mark, hello.

Hey, Mark.

Sharon.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you too.

Very good.

We like these.

There are lovely, unique pair.

The only thing we hate about them is the price.

Well, there's a little-- there's a little movement within there.

How little is a little?

I can give you 10% off the price.

14 quid.

That's not immediately attractive, Mark.

Would it be worth ringing the trader, do you think he might do 100?

I would peel off 100, if you-- Do you want to see if he would allow us to peel off 100?

Yeah, it'll be fine.

You have to give me a few moments.

NARRATOR: They do seem rather set on those whatever the outcome of the call.

I've spoken with the dealer and the best price is 120.

Do you think you might go nearer to the 100?

I don't think he will, no.

You don't?

I also know one barber shop [INAUDIBLE] all their life.

Really?

The other, obviously the clientele that still use brylcreem.

Yes.

You don't, do you?

I haven't got any hair.

Fair enough.

What's the word when you get the whole history of a piece of art?

The provenance.

The provenance maybe that would enrich the sale.

It would.

I think Brighton is a good place for it.

Shall we do it?

I would shake the man's hand.

That's a knuckle duster.

I don't know but-- Blimey, O'Reilly.

Watch out.

So what are you going to do with these?

Is this a hand to shake, or is this hand-- It's a hand to show.

NARRATOR: So with 120 pounds dispensed, it's time for our couples to head for the hills.

Chug, chug, chug, we're getting there.

Push, push.

NARRATOR: Nighty night then.

Next day, the local formers looking a lot more familiar.

- Pigs.

- Pigs.

Look at them.

It's Gloucester old spot.

And a donkey.

It's the biggest Gloucester old spot I've ever seen.

NARRATOR: Yesterday, Tina managed to bag a military barbers kit, a balanced arm lamp, and a Gloucestershire regiment tunic.

You've got the best regiment in the British army.

NARRATOR: So she still has 275 pounds for today's buys, whilst Sharon picked up two hair cream dispensers, three Brighton engravings, and a Georgian bird feeder.

I really like that.

Oh, I'm so excited.

Really like that.

I found it.

NARRATOR: I should tweet it.

Leaving 175 for whatever she might wish yet to acquire.

How's your bargaining skills?

Terrible, terrible.

Mine were fabulous.

So you've got loads and loads and loads of money left?

Not telling you.

NARRATOR: What's the expert opinion then?

Lovely Sharon.

She's got a good eye for design.

She found two fabulous things yesterday.

Tina too.

Really?

And as far as the haggling goes, boy oh boy.

Mustard, is she?

NARRATOR: Which begs the question, do we need these two?

With your good eye and my amazing-- Bargaining powers.

--bargaining skills.

We've got a whole new career ahead of us.

A whole new career.

You and me on the road, Thelma and Louise.

I'd be Susan Sarandon.

You'd be Geena Davis.

Whichever was the one that had sex with Brad Pitt?

NARRATOR: I say.

Well that's all sorted then.

First-- - Here we go.

- Here we are.

Very racy, aren't they?

Look at these ladies.

Racy, quick, it's all about speed.

- Is it?

- Stay in the car.

Morning.

Stay in the car.

- OK. - It's all about speed.

I'm staying.

[INTERPOSING VOICES] NARRATOR: Quick, quick, first in the shop.

See you there.

Indeed NARRATOR: Later they'll be haring off to an auction in Brighton but today's first whisk stop is in the Gloucestershire Town of Cirencester.

Bit of a shared shot, sound friendly enough doesn't it?

I'm over the moon.

I'm very confident.

I love the things we bought.

You know what I need, don't you?

I need to win.

I know you need to win.

Oh yeah, there's no second place here, Raj.

NARRATOR: Crikey.

What about the others?

Let's do haggling today.

Haggling?

The whole of North Africa will be weeping.

Lack of haggling.

The whole of Liverpool will be weeping at mine because I'm from the mentality of everything comes off the back of a lorry.

NARRATOR: Well they've been buying and selling in this market town since Roman times.

So I'm sure our lot can be accommodated.

- Look.

- Is this it?

Yes.

Good NARRATOR: But who got there first?

Just through here.

- Oh, I recognise those voices.

- Don't tell them.

Quick, hide.

- Oh, dear.

Avoiding you.

Have you found something?

Of course we have.

[INTERPOSING VOICES] Bye then.

NARRATOR: Was there enough bluster on show there, do you think?

West German vases.

They are very good on there.

Nice colors.

Very unusual, a vase with a handle.

It Is.

Yeah.

Never see that before.

Vase with the handle might also be known as a jug.

A Jug.

NARRATOR: Brackers knows his stuff.

Quality wooden box with silver cartouche, 1937.

That's actually a really lovely present because if you got it engraved.

Yeah.

It's a great box but it's just all ready to go, isn't it?

Ready to go, yeah.

Thank you people.

15 quid.

That might be a [INAUDIBLE] that smells like a gentleman from Piccadilly, doesn't it?

NARRATOR: How do you know?

How's our other couple?

- Tina?

- You found something?

So I know you like glass, I'm going to-- I've got a little question for you.

Here's little tester, OK. What does it remind you of?

Scarf.

Very good.

It's actually a handkerchief vase.

And in the 1920s, 1930s these were made and they're called, Oh there we go, Large handkerchief vase.

It's a handkerchief vase, yeah.

And they did them in different colors.

It's not-- it's not the value of it.

It's just an unusual shape.

And I mean that at 28 pounds.

It's nothing, is it?

NARRATOR: Not to be sniffed at but Tina is thinking big.

I got 275 pounds in my back pocket.

I'm desperate to spend it.

I've just got to make sure it's the right object.

NARRATOR: Quite.

Meanwhile.

That is an Ashanti stool.

So the Ashanti tribe used to carve these stools.

It's a very that sort of shape.

NARRATOR: The Ashanti come from Central Ghana.

Oh yes, it's lovely isn't it is?

It is sweet, isn't?

It's quite stylized.

It's quite an elegant elephant.

It's got-- it's very good.

Very good.

It's got extended legs.

Very lean and long, yes.

Sort of modly leg.

Yeah, yeah.

That's at 50 pounds would be good.

Make profit on that.

NARRATOR: Currently almost twice that however.

Oh.

NARRATOR: Steady.

Nothing to see here.

NARRATOR: I think a price might be going up.

What's in here?

It's quite nice.

Yeah, that's not bad, not bad.

That frame is art nouveau.

Art nouveau is really in at the moment.

NARRATOR: Ticket price is 78 pounds.

I think that's lovely.

So do I.

Maybe you should hide it and we'll come back to it later.

What do you think?

- Oh.

OK, I don't want them to see it.

So I really want to hide it.

- I like it.

- Lovely move.

Let's put that up there.

On top.

Wonder if they got a blanket we could throw over it as well.

NARRATOR: No, I think that's enough.

Sneaky tactics.

I like it.

James?

Yeah, what do you think of this bowl?

You're drawn to these deco shapes aren't?

Well it's chic, Isn't it?

It's very chic, very clean.

Oh, Orrefors Sweden.

Orrefors Sweden, is that what that means?

Yeah, there are sort of very smart design house of glass.

But is it modern then?

I think it's quite modern.

It's still got quite a modern label but it's a luxury good.

To make glass you have to melt sand to 1,600 degrees centigrade.

Through my hand there, I can see where it's signed.

Look.

Yeah, it's signed.

It's got a nice label.

It's got everything going for it.

The price is 65 pounds.

Ow, it does, doesn't it?

But also I want the elephant.

NARRATOR: Well let's see what Will can do.

Hi.

Hello, young man.

How are you?

Lovely to meet you.

We like the bowl but we don't like the price tag.

Do you know what that could be done for?

How does 50 pounds sound to you guys?

Too much.

Too much Too much still.

35?

35.

Oh, I'd go lower.

So the absolute best 35.

35.

I'd shake the man's hand.

Would you?

What?

Not good for 30, you told me to go for 30.

Sorry.

My friend, my rival is a really good haggler.

And I have failed miserably.

You can save my life.

You're in a haggle.

Yeah, go on then do it for 30.

You made my day.

NARRATOR: Where there's a will hey.

Am I allowed to buy the elephant still?

Well, depending on how well you negotiate.

Under 50.

It's got to be under 40, I would have thought.

NARRATOR: Remember the ticket price.

99, do it at 45.

That's the best I can do.

45.

Go on, Will, put it there, chief.

Well done.

Do you want me to hug him for you?

Yeah, kiss him, kiss the young man.

NARRATOR: So haggling and hugging.

A little plastic fiver.

And that's perfect.

NARRATOR: Now any danger of Tina splashing out.

This is a lovely cabinet.

Isn't it?

I like this.

You've got some of vesta cases, haven't you from your dad.

I mean look at that lovely cigarette-- Cigar box.

That's a cigar one and that one there it's a little [INAUDIBLE] case.

[INAUDIBLE] What would they put in there?

Little cigars.

Oh, look down here, Tina.

There's a lovely set of art nouveau silver buttons.

Oh yes.

They are lovely.

And you know we were talking about the frame earlier.

Yes.

I think the frame-- They could go together.

Yeah, the frame and those could go together.

'95.

'95.

Should we have a look at them?

- Yes, yes.

OK.

I think those are gorgeous.

These look like they're in their original box.

They're dated 1903.

I think that these are a classic piece.

So do I.

Let's go and negotiate.

Definitely.

NARRATOR: OK, first we need to retrieve that frame.

Still there.

Next, manager Brian.

We really need your help here because-- I'm sure we can do something.

We love this.

We could do those 80 for you.

Right and what about my lovely frame?

And your frame is 78.

And could do that for 65 for you.

Brian, ideally we're looking around 100 pounds.

Oh gosh.

How about 120?

Why don't we split the difference?

That's a good idea.

Yeah.

You're happy with 110?

- Yeah.

- Thank you, Brian.

It's a pleasure.

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you very much indeed.

NARRATOR: Well, that was fruitful.

- The money?

- Oh, money.

No, we gotta pay him.

We got to pay the man.

Thought I could get away with a smile.

NARRATOR: Nice try, Tina.

But what about Sharon and James?

What's the pathway to acting?

Well, the only way through for me was to apply for drama schools.

So I applied for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, RADA.

30 shillings you paid for an audition, two speeches, one Shakespeare, one modern.

But I'm crying down the side of the chair going, nothing, nothing, nothing, not even my own soul.

Two weeks later got a letter saying you've been accepted RADA.

And poverty was a massive advantage because I got a full grant.

NARRATOR: Currently, resting from their shopping duties, those two are crossing into Oxfordshire and the village of Kelmscott.

Have you ever worked with your husband, Trevor Eve?

Only once.

Recently, we were asked to appear in a version of Pygmalion at Buckingham Palace in front of the Queen.

I did not play Eliza.

I played the housekeeper.

And he played Professor Higgins.

It was in the [INAUDIBLE] room and it was like doing it in somebody's front parlor.

It was very funny and a real privilege.

It was very exciting.

NARRATOR: This is Kelmscott Manor where they're about to learn the story of the Fair lady, who some believe was the inspiration for Pygmalion's Eliza Doolittle.

Quiet little nook.

NARRATOR: In the company of Victorian art expert, Jan marsh.

Hello, I'm Jan. - I'm Sharon.

- Nice to meet you.

James.

Nice to meet you.

And welcome to Kelmscott Manor.

Thank you.

Thank you.

NARRATOR: This Elizabethan home was leased as a country retreat by the great artist and designer, William Morris, and his friend the painter and poet, Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

So is this all original?

Yeah, this house has hardly changed since the Morris's were here.

NARRATOR: But the other person closely associated with Kelmscott is the pre-Raphaelite model Jane Burdon.

She grew up in Oxford.

She came from a very impoverished and ill educated family.

So when she met pre-Raphaelite artists at the age of 17, she fell absolutely head over heels not just with them but with the whole atmosphere of art and culture.

In the little room by the side, there is the first drawing that Rossetti ever did of Jane aged 17.

And you can see how he has made probably a very plain lass into an absolutely beautiful young woman.

NARRATOR: It was Rossetti who first discovered Jane but Morris who married her in 1859.

She was obviously one of those very bright working class lasses who when she sees an opportunity, she absolutely seized it.

Grab it.

Don't think it'll come twice.

It was like a Cinderella.

It was like Pygmalion.

Pygmalion.

Absolutely.

It totally changed her life.

Is there a truth in the fact that Eliza Doolittle might loosely been based on Jane?

Do you think?

Well, well it's quite possible because Bernard Shaw, who wrote Pygmalion-- Came here did he?

--knew the Morris's came here.

And so he knew the story about how Jane had been plucked from obscurity and she was reinvented as a lady as Mrs. William Morris.

NARRATOR: Where real life differs however, is in the complicated relationship between husband, wife, and their friend Rossetti.

On the wall here is his first oil portrait of Jane.

And it says along the top of famed for her poet husband, famed for her beauty, and now let her be famed for my painting.

He was never very modest, Rossetti.

And he painted and drew that face over and over again in different guises.

It was his ideal.

It's a bit wistful, isn't it?

Rossetti is painting the wife of his friend and making her look rather melancholy.

And then within a few months, you're declaring your love for her.

And you think he's made her look sad because their affections can never blossom.

NARRATOR: When the attachment between the two became obvious, Maurice and Rossetti acquired Kelmscott in 1871.

This wonderful Jacobian staircase.

NARRATOR: But while William took himself to Iceland for the summer, Jane and Gabrielle furnished the house together.

So this is the room that Rossetti took for his painting studio.

And Morris's bedroom is next door.

And Jane's bedroom is just beyond that.

It was an arrangement for proprieties sake.

What an understanding husband?

Yes, he loved the house.

But it was also a perfect house for a hideaway for Jane and Gabriel to be together.

It's got a walled garden.

No prying eyes.

Very sophisticated crowd.

Was this a lifelong relationship?

Not really, it didn't last all that long, two, three years and then Rossetti had a breakdown and he eventually went back to London.

And then the Morris's took on the house.

Was Jane involved in Morris and Co, in the business?

Oh, very actively from the very beginning.

She actually ran and organize the embroidery side of the business.

And she became an absolutely renowned embroider.

And there are quite a lot of examples of her work still here.

So she really had quite an active career.

NARRATOR: Rossetti died in 1882.

And Morris himself, 14 years later but Jane and her daughters kept Kelmscott.

This iconic house which features on the cover of Morris's news from nowhere and is glimpsed in Rossetti's 1871 painting of Jane remains a finely preserved Memorial.

Meanwhile, back in Gloucestershire, Tina and Raj are on their way to their final shop.

And of course, we do have a slight advantage because this is your home patch.

That's right.

Yes, we're off to Tetbury.

And I actually got married in Tetbury 10 years ago.

There's one shop where I have bought a lot of antiques in the past.

So I'm hoping he might be there today.

And I might be able to use some sort of charm.

NARRATOR: Works both ways mind you.

A bit like the road to Tetbury.

That's the church where Tina was wed, right.

- Because you know this place.

- That's it.

I do.

That's George's shop.

NARRATOR: Definitely not your usual antique shop.

Hello, George.

Nice to see you again.

- How are you?

- I'm great.

Thank you.

- Hello, George.

Raj.

Nice to meet you.

What a lovely shop you have here.

NARRATOR: He does and Tina has 165 pounds left, remember.

Very interior designer pieces, aren't they?

I mean George is obviously got a connection with India.

And these are quite nice.

Yeah, these are nice old painted brackets.

Very nice.

And heavy.

- Heavy?

Super heavy.

Oh, go on.

They're teak brackets.

Anglo Indian.

600 pounds for the set.

They're nice but you'd want the set, wouldn't you?

And 600 is a bit steep.

Yeah.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: Well, there's plenty more.

These are lovely, old patterns.

But you know what these are for?

Yeah they were for paint printing.

Absolutely.

You would have a sari, for example.

They would take that piece put it into the paint and then decorate the bottom of the sari.

But that's an interesting one.

That's an old roti stone.

That would have been heated.

And you would make that your chapati, slap it on the stone, cook it on the stone.

And then ready to go.

Yummy.

NARRATOR: Now he looks tasty.

Oh, Tina look at this.

Yeah, look at him.

Isn't that a nice lump?

It's so heavy.

Is it?

It looks to me, like I think it's pronounced.

Surya.

That's the sun God.

The sun God.

The sun God.

I like that.

So do I.

That is so different.

I wonder what price is on it.

400.

Do you know it could be, it could be 252, 200 but we've got 165 pounds left.

Yeah.

I mean I'd pay 150.

Would you?

I mean how old is, I wouldn't like to bet on it, but it does look old to me.

- Let's ask.

- Does it?

George?

Hi, George.

Hi, Tina.

We love the look of that.

Well, it's a big brass bronze Surya.

And it's a sun God, an interpretation of the sun God.

Obviously the creator of the universe, 19 stroke 20th century, not ancient but a nice old piece.

But it's very decorative.

It's a nice big lump as they say.

Yeah.

Now the million question, how much is it?

220, I've got on it.

220.

It's a little bit more than-- than we were hoping to pay.

Cut to the chase.

What-- what's available?

Our offer, we've discussed it.

Would you take 150 pounds?

Cash.

We have a deal.

Thank you very much indeed.

NARRATOR: George, they've got it.

So here we go.

Thank you very much indeed.

Great I hope you do well with it.

NARRATOR: I second that.

- Well come on.

- I'm coming.

- Come on.

This is a heavy-- Where'd you park the car?

Oh, it's down there.

Blimey.

NARRATOR: So with shopping done, let's make an appointment for a full and frank disclosure.

Oh, I love this bit.

On the count of 1, 2, 3.

1, 2, 3.

Oh.

Uh-huh.

Glass is well represented.

They're very cool.

They're very cool, aren't they?

Very cool.

Completely took my eye.

Tell me about the glass bowl, is that, that look rather modern.

New.

It's quite new, Orrefors Swedish.

- Signed.

- Signed.

Signed.

That's why we bought it.

A bit Brighton we thought .

Yes, yeah.

Yeah, it's close to Stockholm.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: Cheeky nudge.

You'll never guess what that is?

What is it?

Is it, it's for vinegar?

Oil.

Oil or vinegar.

He's never seen one before.

And obviously neither of you.

Go on, take the man-- It's Georgian it's a bird feeder for a bird cage.

A little lady with a little budgerigar.

You're right, I have never seen one before.

Do you like it though, Raj?

It's a good story.

What have you got here?

What are these?

These prints, the three prints of Brighton.

They're Brighton.

[INTERPOSING VOICES] The auction has been changed.

[INTERPOSING VOICES] You are in trouble.

That's very good.

That is brilliant.

NARRATOR: Why is no one talking about him them?

Elephant seat.

Ashanti tribe, I think.

It's a refined elephant with very long lean back legs.

It's got beautiful legs.

I like an elephant with long legs.

Right, is it our turn?

Go on, show us yours.

Here we go, hang on a second.

Look at that.

Here's some stuff going on there.

Here we go.

Who is that rather strange fellow in the middle?

This is the Indian Sun God, Surya.

Nice.

OK.

Yes, it's got some age to it.

Yeah.

It's very, very decorative and unusual.

Is it heavy?

It's very heavy.

Well, it's very lovely and in the right situation if somebody can carry it out, if somebody strong enough to carry it, I think it'll do fine.

And you've got barbershop quartet.

We could open up barbershop, hey.

That's what we said.

It can go very well.

That's an army 1944.

It's all engraved.

That's lovely.

It's really nice.

And I love the lamp.

They're very, very trendy at the moment.

Yeah.

And it's-- it's original.

Look at this.

I know, they're lovely.

Now what are these?

Art nouveau buttons.

Silver buttons.

Lovely, really nice.

Very pretty, aren't they?

Very pretty.

And that comes with an art nouveau copper frame.

We're going to go as one lot.

- That's one lot.

Oh, it's one lot.

One lot,oh.

NARRATOR: And more military.

This is our very special-- You went for a piece of firmed clothing.

It's actually the royal Gloucester's.

It's a drummer's jacket.

- Nice.

Tunic.

And they're very trendy especially in Brighton.

Yeah.

The youngsters like wearing them when they go out.

Who told you that?

NARRATOR: She's got a point.

I feel really happy having seen yours now.

I feel-- What does that mean?

I'm not sure.

No-- no what I mean is it it's now going to be a pleasure because it'll be lovely.

Yeah.

The hard work is done.

Come on.

We'll see at the auction.

We will see you at the auction.

See you there.

As we revealed, I was very impressed, were you?

It looked like a great collection.

I think you've surprised them with your fabulous little bird feeder.

They're dud buy might be the elephant seat.

Any swaps?

I can't say I would actually.

Right answer.

Would you?

If I could keep any of our objects or that would be useful most in my house it would definitely be the barber's kit.

NARRATOR: After getting started in Gloucester, and thoroughly exploring the County, our celebrities and experts are now in Brighton.

Let's just hope it lives up to expectations.

Love being by the sea.

Smell it, can't you?

You can.

NARRATOR: Unfortunately the Volvo wasn't at all well this morning.

So with the sherbet dad taking the strain these two can concentrate on more important matters.

So who would you say is the most competitive, Sharon?

Fancy you asking me that question.

The thing about you, Tina, is you say you're really competitive but what you don't know about me is I am quietly very competitive.

I actually think I'm going to win.

I really do because let's face it, mine is much more tasteful than yours.

Let's be honest.

Well, I'm blaming Raj for that.

I mean-- NARRATOR: Welcome to Brighton General, sounds a bit like a hospital.

So they may well feel at home.

Hello.

How are you?

Nice to see you.

Lovely to see you too.

Hi, James.

NARRATOR: There's internet bidding here too.

- Lovely to see you.

- Let's go and do this.

- Come on.

- Good to see you.

Let's go and see what's going to happen then.

NARRATOR: James and Sharon picked up 5 auction lots.

And Tina and Raj did exactly the same.

Now I wonder what our auctioneer, Andrew Potter, makes of them.

Is he completely potty about them or not?

The 1940s hair cream dispenser that should be the star item today.

There's lots of barber shops opening up around the place.

We got a lot of interest on the internet on that.

So I'm expecting that to sell very well today.

The Gloucestershire regiments jacket, it's a bit steampunkish so you can see people around Brighton walking around the streets wearing that sort of thing.

NARRATOR: Yeah, I see what you mean.

Raj did have a point.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] Very excited.

NARRATOR: First on parade is Tina and Raj's military barbers kit.

Here we go.

This is the one.

We want this to go well.

I've got interest on the book.

I can start this at 26 28.

I've got 30 pounds now with me looking for 32.

I've got 30 pounds with me, is there 32 anywhere?

All done at 30 pounds.

Oh, started with the profit.

Yeah.

Congratulations.

NARRATOR: Good start there and a tidy reward.

Tenner.

Same as tenner.

That's 50% on what we paid for it.

That's not bad.

Yeah, it's very good.

We'll be all right, James.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: [INAUDIBLE] profit or trunk junk, it's James's favorite.

And what did you pay for it, James?

45 pounds.

Cheap at the price down.

Cheap at the price.

I can start on the net at 44 pounds, looking for 46 now.

I've got 44.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] Was he going mad in there or what?

I've got 55 on the net looking for 60 now I've got 55 on the net is there 60 anywhere I've got 55 on the net You can't bid yourself or you'll get into trouble.

So illegal.

Did it?

NARRATOR: Warned, you have been warned.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] We're going to have a riot in here in a minute.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] All done it 70 pounds.

Well done.

No.

[CHEERING] Well done, James.

NARRATOR: Yeah, nicely spotted.

What a good start for us?

And it's all right for you.

Yeah, yeah.

We start slow and build up.

NARRATOR: Well let's see if their buttons and frame can do the same.

You spent a lot of money on these.

We did.

We spent a lot of money, 110 pounds.

That's good.

I can start the book at 40 pounds.

I've got 42 on the net.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] You be quiet, James.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] Oh, yes, yes.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] Oh, so excited.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] OK, stop-- stop joking now.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] Oh.

That's not bad though.

That's very good.

I thought it was going to sell for 50.

NARRATOR: Cheeky.

This is shaping up to be quite a contest.

It's a lot but not bad for a load of rubbish.

We don't mind as team we do not like making losses.

NARRATOR: Next, we have Sharon's Swedish bowl.

Not terribly old.

But very, very beautiful.

Very, very art deco.

Who signed it by the way?

I did.

Nice heavy crystal piece here.

I can start the book, I've got 26, 28.

I've got 30 now with me.

Looking for 32 now for the Orrefors.

I've got 30 pounds with me.

Is there 32 anywhere?

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] That's a profit.

That's a profit.

Two quids.

Every little bit helps.

NARRATOR: Quite, nothing to be ashamed of.

I'm proud.

We haven't lost yet.

No crying in the audience, please.

NARRATOR: Can the glorious Gloucester's come to Tina and Raj's assistance?

I really like this and I think this is where we're going to come marching back.

Do you want to buy it?

Yes.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] I think he's struggling.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] [INTERPOSING VOICES] I will sell it at 38 pounds.

[INTERPOSING VOICES] It's all right, Raj.

Your reputation won't die on this.

NARRATOR: Yes, come on, Raj, chin up.

She's going to go around saying I got idiot.

That idiot Raj Bisram.

NARRATOR: A big test for James next.

His Brighton engravings.

If they don't do well here, they won't do well anyway.

I know, to be honest they're going to do well.

Let's hope you don't make a small loss.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] I've got 40 pounds at the front, looking for 42.

Got 42, 44, 46.

Oh this is [INAUDIBLE] [AUCTIONEER CHANT] Oh.

Did you gloat?

Stop it.

Oh, no, no.

NARRATOR: I think they definitely did Sharon.

Yes, right the gloves.

if we gloated, the gloves are off.

Were you gloating?

I don't think we were gloating.

I just couldn't hold my excitement.

NARRATOR: Well, it's your sun God next, Tina.

Are those two related by the way?

Fingers crossed, the sun is shining out today, oh, it's not.

It's cloudy.

Oh dear.

This lady behind me fancies it for her garden.

How much?

I've got bids up to 85, 90.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] That's enough.

Oh, sorry to gloat.

Sorry to gloat NARRATOR: It's that Holby City all over again.

Our lamp better come through.

A dodgy lamp.

You're in trouble.

You don't know this woman's rough.

NARRATOR: But before that we have Sharon's big buy.

The hair cream dispenses with provenance.

It's is my pride and joy.

I'm very proud of my dispenses.

Would you like some tissues?

No.

No.

You cannot touch mine.

You can't touch me.

I have the faith.

Keep them because you'll be weeping.

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] 80, [AUCTIONEER CHANT] You don't see these very often.

No, never.

[INTERPOSING VOICES] [AUCTIONEER CHANT] It's all these hipsters.

I will sell it at 170 pounds.

[INTERPOSING VOICES] NARRATOR: Yes, slick work there Sharon.

Good buy.

Well done.

That's a good profit.

Thank you.

It's a really good profit.

How you feeling, Tina?

Don't [INAUDIBLE] We got an uphill struggle now, Raj.

NARRATOR: Well it'll take one heck of a profit from Raj's lap to swing it.

Here we go.

Oh, here we are.

[INTERPOSING VOICES] [AUCTIONEER CHANT] [INTERPOSING VOICES] NARRATOR: Head bowed it seems.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Hello, James.

NARRATOR: Finally, Sharon's bird feeder.

Can I say she got it cheap.

You've never seen one before.

You never seen one before.

NARRATOR: I've never seen one before.

I've got 10 pounds with me, looking for 12 now.

These usually break so they are rare.

I've got 12 at back of the room, looking for 14.

I've got 12 at back of the room, he's there.

14 anywhere?

He can get it.

I will sell it at 12 pounds.

No.

I am very disappointed in this audience.

NARRATOR: Oh well, a minor blip.

Some big profits there.

Yeah, highs and lows, isn't it?

Let's find out how it worked out.

What do we think?

Do you have any idea, Raj?

Yourself.

Not really, no.

NARRATOR: I think he does.

OK, let's get down to business then.

Tina and Raj started out with 400 pounds and after auction costs, they made a loss of 129 pounds and 16 pence.

So they end up with 270 pounds and 84p.

Sharon and James who began with the same sum, made a much smaller loss, after costs of 17 pounds and 92 pence.

So they are victors with a final total of 382 pounds and 8 pence.

They've become close.

That was fun.

That was fun.

I'm sorry I think I let you down.

But we had fun anyway.

A great time.

[INTERPOSING VOICES] Thank you my darling.

Thank you.

Are you all right, Raj?

I am absolutely fine.

Are you-- are you really happy for me?

Of course, I'm happy for you.

It was nice meet you.

Congratulations.

Come on.

Come on.

We got to wave them off.

- Bye bye.

Thank you.

- Bye, bye, bye, bye.

Let's go and hail a taxi.

NARRATOR: Taxi.

I don't want to finish.

I know we has such a lovely time.

Such a good time.

Is this one of the most exhausting jobs you've ever done?
