VO: The nation's favorite celebrities...

There's a fact for you.

VO: ..paired up with an expert... We're like a girl band!

..and a classic car.

Give it some juice, Myrie, give it some juice.

VO: Their mission - to scour Britain for antiques.

I'm brilliant at haggling.

Who knew?

VO: The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.

CRISSY: I can't believe that!

VO: But it's no easy ride.

TRISHA: What's that smell?

AMIR: The clutch!

VO: Who will find a hidden gem?

That's very art deco, innit?

VO: Take the biggest risk?

It's half toy, it's half furniture.

VO: Will anybody follow expert advice?

That's irrelevant.

VO: There will be worthy winners... ..and valiant losers.

No!

VO: Put your pedal to the metal.

Woohoo!

(CHUCKLES) VO: This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip!

Not half!

Croeso i Gymru.

That's right, we're in Wales.

LUCY (LP): Ooh!

JENNY (JR): (GIGGLES) LP: We're really driving now!

JR: Wow!

VO: Barely peeking above the steering wheel is comedian and actress Lucy Porter.

And in the passenger seat, professional brainiac Jenny Ryan.

Isn't this gorgeous?

This is like being in an Enid Blyton or something.

JR: (CHUCKLES) LP: Just... driving down country lanes in a lovely old Volvo.

Five Hotwire A Car?

Yeah!

Two Go Mad In, er...

In Monmouthshire.

VO: They're motoring through Monmouthshire in a 1968 Volvo 1800S.

Should we name the car, Jen?

Oh.

LP: It's, um...a Swedish car.

JR: Ah!

What's a good Swedish name?

Erm... LP: Bjorn?

JR: Yeah.

LP: Bjorn?

JR: Yes.

(CRANKING) Sorry, little Bjorn.

VO: I don't think the Volvo likes being called Bjorn.

(ENGINE REVS) Yeah!

More power, more power.

Boom boom, baby!

Here we go!

(ENGINE STALLS) (CHUCKLES) VO: Oh dear.

When she's not burning the clutch out, Lucy has been wowing UK audiences for the past decade, as a stand-up comedian.

Her compadre on this trip, Jenny Ryan, is practically a genius.

A British quiz show pro, she's going to be one tough opponent.

It's a glorious day, and I can tell because of my hay fever.

Yeah.

My natural habitat is not outside in the sunshine.

It's inside, where there are books.

VO: This pair are positively potty about quizzes.

They first met six years ago, when Lucy appeared on The Celebrity Chase.

And they now co-host a quizzing podcast together.

Oh, oh...

Does it need more... Come on, little car, you can do it.

You can make this!

VO: On that note, time to meet their opposite numbers, dealers extraordinaire Serhat Ahmet and Steven Moore.

SERHAT (SA): I'm very excited to meet Lucy and Jenny.

STEVEN (SM): Exactly.

And you see, Jenny is... Well, I think she doesn't mind being called a know-it-all.

But does she know about antiques?

Lucy is hilarious.

And I think, you know, you need good humor.

SM: Yeah.

SA: When you're buying antiques.

You definitely need it for this job.

VO: The boys are living like kings, driving a luxurious Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.

The cars can have a humor of their own.

Er, I think...personality.

VO: I think it's fair to say Bjorn's personality ain't winning them over.

Oh, my God, no.

There's something very bad happening.

Yeah, the smell's not good here.

No.

VO: Once the ladies get back up and running, a Welsh adventure awaits, culminating in an ultimate showdown in Winchester.

First up, Pontypool and Ragamuffins Emporium for some shopping.

SM: Well, we're here.

SA: We are.

SM: Don't know where they are.

Since they're not here yet, what do you think?

Shall we have a look?

Yeah, let's... Let's... Quick!

You go first.

VO: Spanning several stories of a renovated former bank, there are rich pickings to be found in here.

Ah, here are the ladies, sans motor.

I'm excited.

Let's get into rivalry mode now.

JR: We're not friends any more.

LP: OK.

I'm gonna take you down.

VO: Nice to see some friendly competition.

Ha!

They each have 400 smackers to spend and a clever clogs antiques expert to help them.

I wonder where Lucy is.

Ah... Let's give her a quick call.

VO: Er, I'm not sure that's connected, Serhat.

(PHONE RINGS) You rang?

(GASPS) Hello!

Where are you?

Turn around and you'll see.

LP: Hey!

SA: (CHUCKLES) Lovely to see you.

Lucy, great to meet you.

But... LP: Finally!

SA: ..just wondering... ..yeah, what's been going on?

I have broken a beautiful car.

SA: OK. LP: Little Bjorn the Volvo.

I hope it's gonna be OK.

But, yeah, we've had a bit of a journey to get here.

We may, I'm afraid, Serhat, have to go home on this.

I love that.

I love...

It suits you.

Erm, yes.

So yeah, but I'm here and I'm delighted and I can't wait.

VO: Hop to it, Lucy.

SA: (CHUCKLES) SM: Oh!

JR: Hello, hello.

I'd better stop.

I was about to put a record on.

Good morning.

Good morning!

I know.

Are you ready to 'tique?

I'm more than ready to 'tique.

You are just the man.

Let's get on with it.

Lead on, Vixen.

VO: And we're off.

See, I do... My heart is always drawn to mid-century sort of stuff.

OK.

Right.

JR: I think probably because it reminds me of my grandad's house.

And that seems like the kind of clock he would have had.

SM: It's very... JR: I love a sideboard.

SM: It's very George And Mildred.

Oh, it's perfectly fab.

How much is it?

Let's have a look.

Is it...?

We've got a pot full of money.

Oh, yeah.

Well, we've not bought anything yet.

£85.

SM: See, the trouble is it's very fashionable.

I think that's far too strong for that.

SM: I think you've made... JR: I'd have to pick that up... SM: ..your first correct decision.

JR: ..as a bargain.

SM: You're learning fast.

But in terms of style, that's my kind of... SM: OK. JR: That's where my eye's drawn.

OK.

I think I might have found something you might like, in that case.

Perfect.

Ta-da!

Do you fancy a Snowball?

I love a Snowball.

I guess that is an advertising...

It is.

I mean, so you know, the salesman would say, "You take Advocaat, we'll give you "this promotional bottle, to market..." But it's great because you've got it engraved on the bottom of the bottle, and then you've got the original paper label, which, you know, is virtually untouched.

Nice little bit of wear.

So they're not that common.

No.

And the thing is, this is an old...

This is 60, 70 years old.

I wouldn't try drinking it.

I think it's yellow paint inside!

Yeah, it might be.

Even if it was real stuff, from the '40s, it might have gone off by now.

Yeah, might have gone a bit manky!

Can you imagine?!

You couldn't find a more perfect starter.

It's a no-brainer, isn't it?

JR: I think it's fantastic.

SM: And... it's £25!

I think that is... that's nailed on, mate.

It's a no-brainer.

Let's buy it.

Right.

Sold.

JR: Yay!

SM: Hurrah.

One down, several to go.

Come on.

Great start.

VO: The Vixen strikes first.

I wonder where Lucy's got to.

Oh, gawd!

I can see a theme developing here.

LP: Serhat?

LP: Found something!

SA: What have you found there?

Well, I've just emptied this... (THEY CHUCKLE) SA: Where?

Glug, glug, glug...

So I'm feeling great.

I kind of like that.

Mm-hm.

There's a lot of booze-related stuff in this room, which I enjoy.

And there's something that's caught my eye here.

Oh.

So this Double Diamond, I'm guessing '70s, but I quite like it because it works.

It's nicely sort of nostalgic and retro for those of us who remember the '70s and '80s.

What do you reckon?

So that would have been in a pub, on or behind the bar.

You know, it's just, it's a bit of fun advertising memorabilia because you can't get Double Diamond any more.

No.

And I love the fact that it lights up.

It's really cool, and I think, you know, that, that's quite an emotive piece.

I think it's gonna be something that's quite interesting at auction, actually.

Is there a price?

The price is £38.

Well, look, that's well within budget.

It's within budget.

I mean, I love it.

I think it's so cute.

I say go for it.

I think you can create your own Queen Vic pub.

Yes!

It's my name above the door!

LP: Serhat, you're barred!

SA: (CHUCKLES) VO: (HUMS EASTENDERS THEME) (CLEARS THROAT) Moving on... VO: Hello, is Lucy writing her memoirs?

Alright, what's going on here, then?

Oh hi!

Yeah, you've just caught me.

I'm just writing my victory speech.

Victory speech?

Yes.

That's a bit premature.

It's been going terribly well, Jenny.

It's been one morning shopping.

I don't quite believe you.

However, I admire your confidence.

How have you been getting on?

It's been going very well.

We're of... (PHONE RINGS) JR: the same mind.

Oh, hang on a minute.

Sorry.

Yep, that's the National Society of Losers.

They're...

Your membership is ready, apparently.

I'm going to do some more shopping away from your smug face.

Just writing - "Thank you very much."

VO: This competition is heating up.

They'll be fighting like cats and dogs...or foxes.

It's a vixen for The Vixen.

JR: Ah!

SM: It's a little vixen.

It's a vixen.

That is the perfect item for me, isn't it?

I think that's definitely a vixen, isn't it?

Yeah, she's very dainty, isn't she?

Yes.

We are always well turned-out.

Has she got your eyes?

Green eyes, like me, yeah.

Yeah, exactly.

Same coloring.

She's not very old, is she?

No, I think she is, um... Well, one could be unkind and say new.

OK. SM: But I mean, it's fun.

Yeah, no, I love, I love a fox.

Anything with a fox on it.

And it is, it is hand-painted.

I think it's lovely.

And it is...

If it's cheap enough...

Does it have a price on it?

No, it's priceless.

Oh.

I think it's worth finding out because it stands out so much.

And what could be a more ideal purchase for The Vixen than a vixen?

A vixen for The Vixen.

Exactly.

Yeah, let's find out.

VO: Time to speak to the proprietor, Alan.

It's that time.

Hello.

Have you found anything nice?

There's one thing we definitely want, which we both love, which is the Advocaat bottle.

VO: Ticket price, £25.

The other thing we were gonna ask you about is we rather like...predictably, the vixen.

ALAN: The Fox.

Yes.

JR: Yes.

ALAN: That is good, isn't it?

JR: Fabulous.

SM: How much is it?

ALAN: 95.

SM: (GASPS) Sorry!

So much for poker face.

Um...

But it's completely hand-painted.

I think we have the real Vixen here.

We needn't bother with imitation.

And we're going to an antiques auction.

We want older things, and I just don't think it would sell.

Let's leave it.

You're learning fast.

So shall we do the deal on that one?

I shall count it out now from my secret stash.

VO: Ah.

That's 25 smackeroos.

And I think that's a great deal.

Thank you very much.

Thanks very much.

Pleasure doing business with you.

VO: Nicely done, Jenny.

And that leaves £375 in the kitty, or bra.

Shall we hit the town?

Let's go.

Come on.

I've got the Advocaat.

You've got the lemonade.

I shall follow.

VO: And while they get on the cocktails, what are Lucy and Serhat up to?

Serhat?

Wow, look at this.

It's a room of mid-century elegance.

Mid-century stuff.

I really like this.

I love the colors.

It just sang to me LP: as I came into the room SA: Aw!

LP: And then sort of...

There's a lot I like here.

So this jug thing, as well, I think, is really pretty.

I love this design.

I mean, what..?

What do you make of this stuff?

Well, the vases and the jugs, they seem to me to be West German.

LP: Mm-hm.

SA: The figurines to me do not look West German, so they must be something else.

It says "Russian ladies - one damaged."

Aren't we all, love?

I mean... And they are £30 for the pair.

Wow!

Do you know what?

But I like it.

Let's just buy the whole gosh darn table.

SA: (CHUCKLES) LP: Let's just buy them all, Serhat, because we can make a lot, couldn't we?

Like, mid-century lovely things?

Well, they've been curated together.

I think they look fabulous like that.

I mean, I've never heard anyone say, "I'll have it.

I'll have everything on this shelf."

Just take everything!

But hey, you know, why not?

I've gone crazed.

I've gone bonkers.

VO: The whole shebang will cost £178.

I think we should go and find the shopkeeper and have a deal, what do you think?

Brilliant.

Well, yeah, you'll have to lead, but, yeah.

SA: : Yeah?

Alright.

LP: Or teach me how to do it.

VO: Better go find Alan, then.

Oh, there he is.

Hi, Alan!

ALAN: Hi.

LP: Hello.

Alan, there's two things.

There's the Double Diamond light.

OK.

It's marked at £38 SA: and we're not gonna haggle.

LP: No.

We're just gonna give you the £38 for that.

It's a good price, that one is, yeah.

And then there's this lovely white table upstairs.

And upon this white table are vases, jugs, a couple of figurines.

I, Alan, would like to buy all of those things.

ALAN: All of them?

LP: I totted them up.

ALAN: OK. And, um, it came to about £178.

But obviously, you wouldn't charge us... Look at that face, you know.

I mean, you couldn't charge that for them.

What do you think?

What would be the... the figure that would make you happy and make me happy?

Erm... What if we said 120?

Am I allowed to do that?

Is that alright?

I think...

I think you're getting a great... LP: He's gonna let me do it!

LP: Yes!

Thank you.

SA: ..offer there.

I knew you were a nice man, Alan, thank you very much.

Thank you.

We're all happy!

Are you happy?

Long as you're happy.

We're all happy!

Hurray!

VO: I'm happy.

Happy, happy, happy.

Happy, happy.

Right, I'll...

I'll get the cash.

VO: So altogether that's £158, leaving them with £242 to spend.

LP: What a brilliant day.

SA: (CHUCKLES) LP: My first, first purchase.

SA: Well done.

SA: Very good, well done.

LP: So excited.

VO: We'll catch up with Steven and Jenny in the Rolls.

You did Celebrity X Factor, didn't you?

That was an incredible experience and really validating for me as someone who was quite shy about all those things when I was a kid.

I knew that I enjoyed singing.

And I knew that I could hold a tune, but I didn't know that other people would enjoy it to the same extent.

Yes.

Are you sure this is a road?

What are you doing with directions?

You're meant to be map reading, you know, not just talking about yourself.

Oh, no, I'm sorry, I've gone into the jungle.

Yeah, I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!

VO: When they get back en route, Steven and Jenny are heading to Nantgarw... a small, unassuming village north of Cardiff.

It has a legendary reputation in the porcelain world.

They're meeting Charles Fountain, director of the Nantgarw China Works, to learn more.

Oh!

Hello, Jenny.

Hello, Steven.

Welcome to Nantgarw China Works.

Hello.

The shrine of British porcelain, lead the way.

VO: The china factory was founded in 1813 by William Billingsley, one of the most brilliant porcelain makers Britain has ever seen.

So, Charles, I'm gonna show my ignorance here.

What is the significance of Nantgarw?

Well, Nantgarw produced a porcelain that was whiter, finer and more translucent than any of the other porcelains around.

They used to say you could read a newspaper through Nantgarw, if you could actually fire it thin enough.

But just to give you a little idea, if I take a little Nantgarw cup and put a light inside it, you can see... Oh, yeah.

..just how much the light shines through it.

What was it that was so special about what was made here?

Every porcelain manufacturer had their own recipe, and they all kept them incredibly secret because the amount of money to be earned was potentially huge.

And Billingsley had his own specific recipe, which was very different to all the other porcelains at the time, that managed to achieve that.

The difficulty was he had huge problems firing it.

JR: Ah.

CHARLES: And up to 90% of the porcelain that was produced was destroyed in the kilns.

So very, very little was produced and sadly, they only actually manufactured porcelain for four years.

Wow!

So it's vanishingly rare as well?

Extremely rare and now extremely valuable.

Plates can fetch £40,000 or more.

Woo!

Let's watch out for some of those!

That's a big dinner.

VO: Despite his work being highly prized, due to the 90% loss rate, in just a few years, Billingsley had racked up crippling debts and was forced to quit the Nantgarw works.

He died in 1828, taking the secret formula he used to produce his porcelain to the grave.

The kilns where he produced his finest works still stand to this day.

SM: In terms of the history of porcelain, this is a holy site, really.

It's a shrine to something which was miraculous and very precious.

Absolutely.

And people travel from all over the world.

How is this still intact for us?

It was actually the Pardoe family that ran the factory from 1835 up until 1920.

And by then they just were making flowerpots and clay pipes.

And effectively, clay pipes had been taken over by cigarettes, and the factory closed for the last time.

And when they left, the place fell into complete disrepair.

Erm...

It almost got completely bulldozed, but was saved and bought by the council.

And we took over as the Nantgarw China Works Trust around eight years ago.

Now, once again making Nantgarw porcelain.

VO: Billingsley's secret formula remained lost for nearly 200 years, until 2017.

In-house ceramicist Sally Stubbings has been instrumental in rediscovering the lost art of Nantgarw's famous porcelain.

Hello, Sally.

Oh, hi, Jenny.

Welcome to the workshop.

This is where the action happens!

It is, yes, and I thought you might like to have a go at making a small cup, like you can see up on the shelf there.

OK. Nice, even steady pour.

Just think it's custard.

Custard?

Delicious.

Think custard.

VO: With the help of the University of Bradford, the museum used spectroscopic analysis of shards of the original china to match its make-up exactly, unlocking the long-lost recipe.

So, once we feel that it's ready to come out... And you can actually see that, because if I tip it up, can you see the little gap where it's just, you know, shrunk a bit and it's ready to come out?

VO: The next stage is firing.

Through historic detective work, the museum discovered Billingsley's huge loss rate was caused by temperature fluctuation.

VO: Using a modern electric kiln, Sally is able to control the heat precisely.

JR: That would be closed?

SALLY: We're good to go.

You can close the lid now.

What a job.

And we'll set the program and run.

Yes!

It's a very labor-intensive process.

It was back in the day, it still is now.

We're making them authentically, as they would have been, so there's no shortcuts here.

VO: Billingsley's drive for perfection ultimately led him to financial ruin, but the legacy he left behind was rich indeed.

For 200 years, nobody was able to match his flawless standards.

Until now, when the kilns of Nantgarw are firing again.

VO: Ooh, somebody's got new wheels.

A Mercedes 300SL.

Yeah, Bjorn the Volvo and I were not seeing eye to eye.

This is much better.

Do you feel you've been Bjorn again?

Hey!

VO: Oi, Serhat, I do the jokes around here.

Leave it to the professionals, eh?

SA: So would you say, Lucy, that you've always had a funny bone?

My mum and dad used to love Dave Allen.

I don't know if you remember the brilliant Irish comedian LP: Dave Allen.

SM: Yeah, I know who that is.

So I used to, at the age of about eight, I used to sit there doing Dave Allen impressions... SA: Ooh!

LP: ..with a glass of whisky and a lit cigarette.

Because it was the '80s, we were a lot more relaxed about these things then.

And so I think I always loved to make people laugh and just cheer people up, really.

VO: Yeah, we all love a laugh, don't we?

Lucy and Serhat are making their way to Cowbridge and Happy Days Vintage Home Store.

Are you ready for your second shop?

Well, I'd quite like to bask in the sunshine a bit more but yes, I do.

If we get our buying done quick, we can get in the sun after.

Exactly.

VO: They have £242 to play with.

Come on, Lucy, no time for jazz hands.

Serhat's found something.

Lucy... Hello.

Look at these!

What?

I love these.

What do you think?

Really, really nice.

Library steps, am I right?

They are.

Yeah.

Go up it.

SA: (CHUCKLES) Oh, I love it even more.

Ah!

That's too high.

I finally get to talk down to you.

Serhat, this is amazing.

Now I'm going all the way to the top.

Yes!

Is it?

I mean, from the look of them, I mean it's oak.

They are arts and crafts style, not arts and crafts period, sadly.

But they look good.

Ticket says 145.

LP: Oh, so it does.

SA: It's a little bit SA: on the high side, isn't it?

LP: That's on the pricey side.

I'm worried about that.

I mean, I love it.

Do you think we might get a bit of movement?

I think if it's the right price... Yeah.

..I think it would be a nice buy.

I think you might need to do some smiling at people.

Yeah.

Well, I'm good at that.

Yeah.

Well, there you go.

You crack on.

Right, I'm gonna come back down to Earth with a bump now.

VO: That's one for later, then.

What else can they find?

What's Lucy spotted here, then?

Serhat... allow me to show you...

It's booze-related.

(THEY CHUCKLE) Not that I'm obsessed or anything, but I just...

It's quite big and colorful.

I've seen these kind of mirrors before, but not this size.

Right.

What do you think?

You're right to say.

I mean, they normally come in a smaller size.

Yeah.

And it's nice to have the original frame, cuz that's definitely the original frame.

Yeah.

And it looks sort of pretty sturdy, and...

I think it's cool, and it speaks to you.

That's the important thing.

I think you've got to buy things that you like.

And, you know, if you like it, the hope is that someone at auction is gonna like it, too.

SA: And?

LP: £48.

£48.

Well, you know, we've got the money, but the lower the better.

I know.

Let's see what we can do, maybe.

Yeah.

Shall we go and speak to the shopkeeper?

Cuz I think it's time to do a deal, really.

Not again?

Alright.

I know.

You know.

Can you do it this time?

Maybe.

Let's see, let's see.

Go on.

Go on, treat me.

Be kind, Serhat, be kind.

VO: That's Amanda.

She's the lady in charge.

DEALER: Hello.

LP: Hi, Amanda.

DEALER: Welcome.

Hi.

LP: Um... DEALER: Hello.

SA: Hello.

So, we have seen the library steps... Oh yeah, good.

..and the mirror.

The Vermouth mirror.

Oh yes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah?

And, you know, we were sort of wondering if there was any sort of movement.

Is this how I'm meant to do it?

Well...

If there was any sort of movement on the price that you might be able to do for us, Amanda?

Right, OK. SA: Yeah.

The steps are 145... DEALER: They are.

..and the mirror is 48.

DEALER: OK. SA: So that comes to 193.

OK.

I could probably get the mirror down to 40... ..and I could get her to push the steps down to 120.

So what's that?

160.

But that's about it, honestly.

160...

I think it's OK. That's lovely.

Thank you, Amanda.

Thanks, both.

Pop the money down here.

The money.

Yes, OK. And then we'll, er... we'll go and get our stuff, yeah?

SA: Yeah.

LP: Right.

VO: With those purchases made, Lucy and Serhat are left with £82 in the kitty, and they're all shopped up for the day.

Lucy, come on.

Oh!

I mean... Ooh.

Oops.

Steady how you go.

You could have let me carry the mirror, couldn't you?

VO: Don't drop it, Lucy.

LP: (SIGHS) VO: Time for our road trippers to call it a day.

So do you fancy a sing?

Yeah, yeah.

What shall we sing?

Do you like Gilbert and Sullivan?

I love Gilbert and Sullivan.

My first love in Gilbert and Sullivan is The Mikado.

Love The Mikado.

It's fabulous.

# Three little maids from school are we # Pert as a schoolgirl well can be # Filled to the brim with girlish glee # Three little maids from school BOTH: # Three little maids # From school.

# (CHUCKLES) LP: But if we see a car coming now, I'll be in trouble.

Very steep.

Oh, my goodness!

There's a pretty enormous tractor here, Serhat.

I'm really pleased we came this way.

Please don't hurt us, Mr Tractor.

There we go.

He's got plenty of room.

SA: Thank you!

LP: You could get a bus through there.

Do you think we could buy one of those for auction?

Do you know, I could drive one of those now.

I feel very confident that I could drive that back to the auction for us.

VO: Let's just stick to the Merc, shall we?

Nighty night.

The second day of our Welsh tour, and Jenny's getting a load of the Merc.

How do you like my new wheels?

Ah, you seem a bit happier driving this one.

Mate, I tell you.

This is such a joy.

I'm very glad that yesterday's escapades are past us.

My audition for new presenter of Top Gear has not gone as well as I'd hoped.

But... VO: Yeah, not quite The Stig, are you, Lucy?

Ha!

LP: How was your day yesterday?

It's been brilliant with Steven.

He seemed really proud.

I was making some really good decisions.

Serhat has been glorious.

He could offer anything and they'd go, "Oh yes, well, that's very nice.

Thank you."

He's got some sort of mesmeric, hypnotic power.

VO: I think the appreciation was mutual.

Steven, we had four purchases yesterday.

SM: Four?!

SA: Four.

She was on a roll.

SM: Really?

SA: She was on an absolute roll.

VO: Indeed, Lucy and Serhat were the day's big spenders, splashing out on a Double Diamond lager advertising light, a job lot of porcelain figurines and vases, a large Martini advertising mirror and a set of arts and crafts library steps.

I finally get to talk down to you, Serhat.

VO: ..leaving them with £82 to spend.

While Jenny and Steven just bought the one item - a large 1950s Advocaat display bottle... JR: Let's buy it.

SM: Sold!

VO: ..which gives them £375 to play with today.

Back with the ladies, it's time for some show and tell.

Right, what have we got?

Right, so... Ta-da!

Here it is.

Ooh!

Oh, I love your thing.

Yes.

Oh my gosh.

Gosh, we've gone booze-related, haven't we?

I think...

I think we've gone for a theme.

Double Diamond.

And Double Diamond.

Oh my...

So is that a lamp?

It's a lamp, and it works.

Ah, marvelous, and...

It's really cute.

Is this a mixed lot?

That is a lot.

So there is...

I really like... there's like the little bowl.

Yeah, that's gorgeous.

JR: Yeah.

And then we've got those little Russian ladies, who are beautiful, the Russian ballerinas.

JR: You've got quite a lot of shopping done.

I feel like I've got a bit of catching up to do... LP: You do.

JR: ..with one big bottle.

Oh, but it's so pretty.

Isn't it beautiful?

Lovely.

I don't want to put it down now.

(THEY CHUCKLE) OK, you have a little nap, sweetheart.

Alright.

Let's put you... Yeah.

Safely back in.

There you go.

Night-night, darling.

Night-night.

There we are.

Beautiful.

VO: Lucy's picking up Serhat en route to the next destination, the Welsh capital city of Cardiff.

Their shop, the Cardiff Reclamation Yard, is the place to go for all things architectural.

There's Jeff.

He's in charge today.

LP: Ooh!

I love this.

SA: (CHUCKLES) Where have I brought you?

(THEY CHUCKLE) I need to make a call.

Hang on.

(THEY CHUCKLE) SA: Yes!

VO: Lucy only has £82 left, but with her new negotiating skills, that should be more than enough.

Lucy?

What do you think of this little doorstop collection?

Ooh!

Well, they've stopped me in my tracks, as you would hope a doorstop would.

I like.

So two lions?

Yep.

Yeah, they're great.

And then that lovely lady.

She's not technically a doorstop, to be honest.

LP: OK. SA: She looks like she's come off the top of a clock.

Oh!

OK, yes.

But I think, with a bit of ballast inside, she could turn into a doorstop.

I love her, and I love them.

What are they made of?

These are cast iron.

OK.

Right.

She is spelter, which is a kind of alloy.

It's kind of imitating bronze.

OK.

It's a cheaper way of doing it.

So if you couldn't afford bronze, you'd buy spelter.

I've never heard of spelter.

I'm learning every day.

And they have a similar look.

But she's much lighter than the bronze version of her.

So how old do you think they are?

Probably turn of the century.

OK.

So maybe slightly older.

1880.

1900?

OK.

But, you know, good 100 years and some, yeah.

Got age.

There's no prices on them.

But look, we're down to the last of our monies - SA: £82.

LP: Yeah.

I think it'd be great if we could get two lions... LP: Mm-hm.

Yes.

SA: ..for £82.

That would be amazing.

SA: Shall we call Jeff over?

LP: Yes.

See if we can buy two of those.

Work your magic.

Go on.

You know you want to.

I might let you work your magic.

I have no magic.

I can smile in the background and you can do the... You can do the weeping story of where we are in life.

I'll do the hard luck story.

You do the smiling.

LP: Great.

Alright.

SA: Yeah.

VO: We'll leave them to track down Jeff.

Meanwhile, 23 miles away, Jenny has arrived in Aberdare, the town once dubbed Queen of the Hills.

She has a rendezvous with Steven at Aberdare Market Antiques.

Jenny's been quite thrifty so far and still has £375 to spend.

Ah, Her Majesty.

We don't often see her actually on a flag.

It's seen a bit of life, though, it's been waved a few times.

Might have waited outside Westminster Abbey JR: for a few weddings.

SM: Ah.

People like them because they're kind of vintage and a bit nostalgic.

They kind of hang them... You might have a coat rack SM: in the hall... JR: Yes.

Kind of shove them in there, like, you know... JR: Yeah.

SM: Just add a bit of interest.

JR: A decorator's piece.

Just... SM: And you never know.

Platinum Jubilee coming up.

Oh my goodness, yes.

Mm-hm, buy now before it's too late.

You'll have the oldest flag in the parade.

# God save our gracious Queen # Long live our noble Queen # God save the Queen.

# VO: How very stirring, Steven.

Don't know what came over me there.

I know, you went all patriotic.

Wave of nostalgia.

I know, it's...

I love the Queen.

It's worth considering.

We'll... We can come back to this one.

SM: Gone from a no to a maybe.

JR: It has.

OK. You're warming to it.

Warming to it, yes.

OK. Well, how much is it?

Might have to ask.

VO: Onwards and upwards.

What else is there to find?

Aha!

This looks promising.

SM: Jenny... JR: Mm-hm.

Ooh.

Have you been to Newlyn on your holidays?

I haven't.

OK, well, this is Newlyn copperware.

VO: Newlyn copperware originates from Newlyn, Cornwall, in the late 19th century.

Fishermen produced it to subsidize their income and it's highly collectable.

The best sort has some fish and galleons and things on.

It's...

The problem is it's £155, so it's probably not.

But if it had fish on it... That would... That's the sort of thing that...

I mean, do you like it?

JR: I'm not against it.

SM: OK.

But if you think the price is a bit strong, we're gonna have to talk about it.

Yeah...

It's a bit... See, that would be about the price for something with fish on it, would you say?

If it had fish on, and it was 155, we'd be buying it.

OK.

While we're there... OK. ..another ship I've just seen.

Oh, the little brooch.

VO: Ahoy there!

I'm assuming it's not diamonds.

Probably.

Is it marcasite?

Well, it says fine silver and marcasite galleon brooch.

JR: Hmm.

SM: £38.

That seems...

I'd wear that on my lapel.

If you don't buy it, I'll buy it, and we'll have a fight.

I think that's lovely.

That would look lovely on my pink jacket.

Definitely.

I'm very warm on the brooch.

OK. Have you seen anything else?

I saw something on the wall over there.

OK.

I want to know what it was all about.

Well, let's have a look.

Lead on.

VO: Whilst Jenny takes Steven to this mysterious item, let's see what Serhat and Lucy are up to.

Jeff!

Hello.

Hello.

(THEY CHUCKLE) You were nearer than we thought.

LP: We really love these lions.

I'm gonna show you how much money we've got.

And it's a simple deal or no deal, Jeff.

We've got 20, 40, 60, £82.

JEFF: For the two lions?

LP: Mm.

JEFF: Mm.

LP: Ooh, he's thinking about it.

SA: Smile at him a bit, Serhat.

JEFF: Yeah, why not?

Look at that little face.

I'd rather a smile off you, actually.

(CHUCKLES) OK. OK, yeah.

Deal.

You are amazing!

SA: Really?

JEFF: I'm happy with that.

Yeah.

That's brilliant!

That's so... Diolch yn fawr.

That was terrible Welsh, but I tried my best.

VO: Wahey!

Well done, Lucy.

And with that, they're all spent up.

LP: Oh my gosh!

SA: Thanks, Jeff.

OK. LP: OK, bye.

SA: Take care!

Cheers now.

Bye.

LP: Bye, see ya.

SA: Bye!

Great!

I wonder if the suspension can take this, Serhat.

(CHUCKLES) It'll be fine.

It'll be fine.

Oh, I'm gonna have a dusty boot there.

Right, right.

Here we are.

She's off!

SA: Hey, this is smooth.

VO: Back in Aberdare, Jenny has something to show Steven.

There is a framed check from Buckingham Palace.

I've just seen that, yeah.

It's for £1.77.

The Queen paid somebody £1.77.

Well, I was wondering, that small an amount.

It's kind of a ceremonial amount.

Could that be the Maundy money?

Oh, Maundy money!

Being paid by check rather than in a little pouch?

Maybe for somebody who couldn't get to the ceremony?

VO: Every year on Maundy Thursday, in a service dating back to 600AD, the Queen distributes symbolic Maundy money to local pensioners.

SM: Maundy money is a tiny, tiny amount, but that's £12.

That's pretty cool, that.

I think that's, that's a really fun bit.

There aren't that many out there.

You know what, we could put that and the flags together.

Yes.

Make up a lot.

I think that's a cracking idea.

VO: This could be a royal flush.

Anything else?

Maybe I'm crazy.

OK. Well, we know that.

What about this vase?

I know it's...

I think it's not going to be to everyone's taste, but...I actually love this.

Well, love is an important part.

What does it say it is?

It says it's a 1930s art deco era Czechoslovakian vase by Dietmar Ehrlich.

Alienware.

It's got 37 on it.

It's very stylish.

I mean, as you say, it's a bit...

It's going to be, you know, love it or hate it.

It might be a little earlier than the '30s.

I think it's maybe more '20s.

It's that, kind of, late Vienna secession style.

Well, it's very stylish.

It's very well-made.

I mean, that high firing it's like an extra process on top.

So, an expensive piece.

Yeah.

And at £37...

I don't think that's very expensive at all.

So we've got that as a potential.

Mm-hm.

We have the royal stuff...

The royal package.

The royal package.

What a thought.

And maybe, the little marcasite brooch.

Yes.

Yeah.

I think that's enough to be going on with, don't you?

SM: Let's do a deal.

JR: These are the things.

I'm gonna close the cabinet.

Let's do a deal.

VO: Better grab dealer David and spend some dosh.

David, just the man!

Oh, hi, Jenny.

We've had a good browse and there are a few things that we would like possibly to take away with us.

Excellent.

Um... We like your flags.

OK. With the Buckingham Palace check.

I wonder if we could have those as a unit?

A good combo.

We are interested in the marcasite brooch, which is shaped like a galleon.

And I love the Czechoslovakia vase, so I think that might have to be on our shortlist as well.

It does have some grotesque charm.

(THEY CHUCKLE) Oh, what a lovely way of putting it!

The vase at 37.

DAVID: Mm-hm.

The brooch, 38?

The check's £12.

How much were the flags?

£15 is fine by me.

That sounds fantastic.

How much do I owe you for that little lot?

That tallies up at £102.

That sounds like a very, very fair price for an awful lot of swag there.

So let's call it a deal.

VO: After buying that pile of goodies, Jenny's left with £273.

Now, the open road beckons.

Time to get back in the Roller and head on.

VO: Lucy and Serhat have spent all their money so they can afford to take a breather.

They're making their way to Swansea, where they're meeting a man about a dog.

Specifically, John Essenhigh, who breeds corgis.

JOHN: Bore da.

Bore da, John!

Bore da.

So John, who do we have here?

OK, so we have Baggins.

We've got Coch here, who's 16 months old.

They're both show dogs.

VO: Short in stature but big in reputation, the Welsh corgi is famously the canine of choice for Her Majesty.

The Queen has owned 30 corgis since she was first given a dog named Susan on her 18th birthday in 1944.

Obviously, we know the Queen has her beloved corgis.

JOHN: Yep.

LP: Um, Are Baggins and Coch in the same breed?

Same family, but these are Cardiganshire corgis.

And the Queen has Pembroke corgis.

Ah!

Years ago, a Pembroke corgi would be known because they didn't have any tails.

They used to either be born without the tails or the tails would be docked.

OK.

Whereas the Cardigans have always had their tail.

OK.

They're also a lot bigger than the Pembroke Corgi.

They are solid units, John, I think it's fair to say.

They are, yeah.

Look at those chunky boys!

VO: The Cardiganshire corgi is said to trace its roots to dogs brought to Wales by the Celts about 1200BC, while the Pembroke is reputedly descended from dogs introduced by Flemish weavers, about 1100AD.

So despite the corgis' relatively recent regal connection, it is far from a pampered pooch.

It has true working class credentials.

These dogs have been used on the farms in Wales.

They would have been used for moving the cattle, sheep and horses up into the hills.

Amazing!

So clever and able to take on a horse.

They can tell a horse what to do.

They can certainly tell you what to do, Serhat!

They can!

Look, they're saying, "Stay there, just up against the van!"

(THEY CHUCKLE) Those little legs do not look like they would lend themselves to herding.

Well, the little legs were there for a reason.

Cows have got a nasty habit of kicking out with their back legs, and the corgis can turn on a sixpence.

And they duck under the leg and they turn around, and they go back round, and then they nip the other ankle of the cow and chase it on!

Little ankle biters.

Excellent.

VO: Corgis were used by drovers to move vast herds of cattle from farm to market for generations, but droving largely came to an end with the arrival of the railways in the 19th century, so the Corgi's popularity gradually declined.

That is, until it made its royal debut.

VO: Now the Corgi is a popular pet and show dog.

The gang have come to Action Petz dog training center, where breeder Mary Davies will put our duo through their paces with her Pembrokeshires.

You want to have a brisk pace.

Yeah.

And the dog should be trotting along beside you.

OK. Come on, Jazz, shall we go?

Shall we go?

Look.

So I'm walking and you're... Oh, I tell you what, I think Jazz is taking me for a walk a bit.

Oh, I've never felt so alive.

This is wonderful.

Serhat, would you like to have a go now?

I would.

I know I'm gonna be brilliant, so I'm just gonna go for it.

I'm sure you will.

Go for it!

Come on, then.

Let's go, Baggins.

Baggins!

Good boy.

Oh, he's got a lovely gait.

This way.

This way.

That's very good.

I know!

So modest!

Good boy!

Yeah, I've done this before.

So, Mary, you've seen us both round the ring.

I've got to ask - who was better?

I think it's a draw.

LP: Yay!

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: Oh, I don't know about that.

I think we need to find out who's Best In Show.

Now it's time for the dog agility.

Let's see how good you are.

These two don't look very ready, do they?

They want to sit down.

On your marks, get set, go!

Jump, jump, jump.

VO: Serhat takes the lead.

SA: Good boy.

Oh!

Ooh!

This way, this way.

VO: Come on, Lucy!

Oh, there we go.

I won and you have a forfeit.

(GASPS) I think you should try the course out.

(THEY CHUCKLE) With these little legs?

I feel so evil saying that.

Are you up for it?

You up for it?

I'm game.

Come on, then.

Go!

VO: Well, over the first, onto the second, and again, into the tunnel.

All the way through.

And there we are!

Fantastic!

(CHEERING) Well done!

Well done!

What a sport!

Well done!

VO: Well done, indeed, Lucy.

Just like the Corgi, you may be small, but you are mighty.

VO: Back on the road, Jenny and Steven still have some shopping to do.

We've got a big wodge of cash because we've been very sensible.

Yes.

Do you fancy splashing it, or are you going to splurge it?

I am not averse to such a thing.

I think the right thing, if it homes into view, I think we should snap it up.

If it's the right thing, I don't mind going big.

VO: Go big or go home, I suppose.

Or maybe go to Carmarthen, the next stop on our romp through Wales.

They're shopping at the Carmarthen Antique Centre with £273 to spend.

Come on, I'm not waiting.

Oh, he's very keen.

VO: Wild horses couldn't hold him back, Jenny.

Now, there's more than 40 dealers here.

Surely there's something to splash out on.

VO: Ah, what have you there?

Or should I say, "Qu'est-ce que ici?"

I really like the educational aspect of these.

I'm always about learning.

I have, you know...

If there's something I'm struggling to learn, I will put posters up, and, you know, Post-it notes and pictures in different rooms in my house so that I'm always looking at them.

So I love... That's a classroom poster, clearly.

These were basically being thrown out by French schools cuz they've got proper projectors, and they were just...

So they'd turn up at flea markets in France, and, of course, the French don't want them, but they're great decorative appeal.

Yeah, I absolutely love that.

VO: Ticket price £75.

Price is probably what they're worth.

Yeah, it's nice that I'm finding the right things, JR: but it's the price.

SM: The thing is, because they're framed as well, you're kind of paying a bit for the framing.

An unframed one is just as good.

Let's keep our eyes peeled, then.

Hang about.

SM: Oh!

Here is an unframed poster.

SM: Does it have a price on it?

Oh, it's double-sided.

SM: Aha.

It is danger signs, "Signaux de danger."

SM: Do we like it?

I think that's very cute, isn't it?

It's another school poster.

I've just seen the price on the other side.

Go on.

£14.

I mean, I think that's fantastic.

SM: I think you'd be daft not to buy that.

I think that seems like such a bargain.

Shall we buy it?

I'd love to.

SM: You know the way.

JR: Let's do it!

You've got the money.

VO: Time to parley with Penny, the shopkeeper.

Penny!

Hi, you found something you like?

Well, yeah, we came in here with quite a bit of money left and all the intention of buying something super expensive, but I've absolutely fallen in love with this French school poster.

Double-sided.

PENNY: It's a bit different.

JR: Yeah.

And it's just got £14 on it.

Alright, OK. PENNY: Bargain.

JR: So we're just... We're just gonna be cheapskates.

And if you don't mind, we're gonna take this away with us.

Yeah, that's great.

It rolls up nicely, it'll fit in the back of the car nice and easily, and I shall count out the money for you.

Brilliant.

Thank you very much.

Thank you so much.

It's been a joy being here.

VO: Voila!

With that, Jenny's all shopped up.

Time to hit the road, "tout suite".

We have bonded so much that I will be more than happy to have you on my pub quiz team.

Oh, I'd love that, that'd be a great honor, yeah.

I'd love that, that'd be fabulous.

Fantastic.

There might even be an antiques round, who knows?

You never know.

As long as there's 25 ways with a napkin, I'll be fine.

Well, Lucy, that is it!

Ah!

You taught me how to negotiate, for which I will be forever grateful.

Take that forth and use it, Lucy.

I will.

I'm gonna be down at the supermarket going, "No, I'm not giving you that for those eggs."

"If I buy two bananas, does that make a difference?"

VO: Good luck with that one.

He-he!

Time for some shuteye.

Rise and shine, it's a glorious day for viewing an auction in Winchester, the ancient capital of England.

Its cathedral has stood for over 900 years.

En route to this historic city, two celebs in a Mercedes convertible.

I know, I hope I win.

Well, cuz you always beat me in quizzes.

So I just want to win at something.

I just want to be the best.

Just for once.

VO: (FEIGNS SOBBING) The gang's all meeting at West Stoke Farm, a working farm on the outskirts of the city.

I hear a car.

I can see a car.

LP: Oh my goodness!

JR: Look at the boys!

Hi!

Hello!

Oh, look at this!

There we go.

Hi!

VO: After a rip-roaring ride through Wales, our road trip chums have crossed the border into England and traveled south to Winchester.

Meanwhile, their purchases have been sent north to Lincoln and Unique Auctions.

At £70, have you all done at 70?

VO: Jenny spent a thrifty £141 on her five lots.

Let's find out what's caught the eye of auctioneer Terry Woodcock.

It's lovely to have a check from Buckingham Palace, all signed.

Obviously not signed by the Queen, but by the Treasury.

And we feel that it could fly.

VO: Lucy spent quite a bit more, splurging her entire kitty of £400 on five lots.

Which one do you fancy, Terry?

We have here a very nice oak library steps.

They are not very old.

They are arts and crafts design.

You don't come across them that often, and the style is very good.

VO: With bids open for commissions, online and over the phone, let's get to it.

So, how do you feel?

Well, I mean, excited, nervous, apprehensive, a little bit sick.

And, um... JR: That's just your driving.

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: Casting and kicking things off is Jenny's marcasite brooch.

I would wear this.

Would you wear it, Serhat?

SA: I would!

SM: I thought you would.

Let's have a look.

Here we go.

Start me at £50.

That's ambitious, I think.

Start me at 30, then.

That's more like it.

Come on.

If you're not being rude, I'll take your 20.

Thank you, at £20, I've got there.

At £20.

At 22, I've got there, At 22.

24.

There we go.

Getting warmer.

JR: Getting warmer.

LP: You're off!

£30.

32.

33.

Come on.

Should make a lot, lot more than this.

Thank you!

I'm glad the auctioneer agrees with us.

At 33, are you all done at 33?

JR: Oh!

SM: It's a modest loss.

Yes.

VO: Ah!

It's a sinking ship, unfortunately, but it's early days yet.

It was appreciated, and so I don't feel too bad with it.

VO: Will Lucy's Double Diamond light work wonders?

I hate to tell you this, but my husband said he doesn't think this is gonna make any money.

JR: (LAUGHS) SA: Why?

Cuz he wouldn't buy it?

Well, he just said he's seen a lot of Double Diamond stuff, but I still believe.

I'm keeping the faith.

Start me at £50.

30, I'm up to.

TERRY: At £30 now.

JR: There you go.

SA: Ooh!

30 already.

TERRY: 40 I'm up to.

At £40 now.

40?!

OK, we're into profit.

Yes.

At £40.

Have you all done?

Five!

At 45, I'll take 50 now.

At 45 on the Double Diamond, at £45.

Yay!

High five.

SA: (CHUCKLES) JR: Justin was wrong.

Little victory lap.

VO: Our first profit of the day.

Well done, Lucy.

So, come on, you've got to be happy that I proved my husband wrong.

JR: Oh yeah, that's great.

SM: We're ecstatic.

VO: Sticking with the boozy theme, Jenny's oversized Advocaat bottle.

If we'd seen it, I think we'd have bought it, too.

LP: We would.

SA: Don't you think?

Yeah.

SA: So well done.

SM: Well, you might not have seen it because I spied it and I hid it away.

Start me at £40 on this one.

LP: Ooh.

JR: Please.

Come on.

Start me at £20, then.

I've got, thank you, at £10 now.

At £10, at £10.

Now I'll take 12.

Oh my God, I'll take it!

At £12, at £12 in the room, it is.

TERRY: At 14.

LP: (CHEERS) Oh, yeah!

Someone else is chiming in now.

You got half your money back at least.

16.

Absolute torture.

At £16.

SA: I think he needs a snowball.

LP: He does.

TERRY: 22.

JR: Ooh!

LP: Oh!

SA: Oh hello!

You're all done at 22, I sell on saleroom.

SM: We were robbed.

JR: Robbed, absolutely robbed.

SM: Robbed.

VO: Close, but no cigar.

Moving on...

I'd have paid £40 for it.

JR: Easily.

Easily.

LP: Yeah.

VO: Lucy's job lot of Soviet and West German ceramics now - owes her a fair bit.

When you saw this, you said, "I want everything on that shelf."

Yeah.

I basically bought a whole shelf.

Lovely Soviet figures there.

Come on, start me at £100 on these.

Well, I'll take 12, I've got there.

LP: (GASPS) TERRY: 14, 16, 18.

LP: No!

We shouldn't laugh.

24, at 24 now.

26, 28.

LP: It's going!

SA: You never know, you never know.

It's not gonna make 120, though, is it?

(THEY CHUCKLE) I'm glad you're laughing about it.

At 30, have you all finished now at £30?

TERRY: And I sell.

(LAUGHS) (GASPS) TERRY: Five!

JR: Oh!

SA: Oh, just in.

35.

LP: It's getting better.

At 40 now.

The loss is getting smaller.

I sell for 40, have you all finished?

LP & SA: (GROAN) SA: Misery!

JR: Oh!

I cannot do this.

How do you do this?

The elation to the despair?

VO: Unlucky there, Lucy.

A bit of a loss on those.

That is the last time I buy a whole shelf of anything.

That is it.

It was a brave experiment and it didn't pay off.

VO: Jenny's own experiment next.

The Alienware Vase.

So, secret...

I collect Alienware.

Oh!

Oh, well... OK.

When I saw that, I was like, "No!"

You'll know how rare this colorway is then, won't you?

It's a beautiful one.

Start me at 20.

12, I've got there, at £12 now.

JR: Ooh!

SM: 12.

I'm looking for 14 now.

TERRY: At £12 now.

14.

JR: Oh!

Come on.

Come on, internet.

Beautiful condition.

18 now, at £18.

At £18.

I mean, Jenny will bring it to your house for 20.

JR: I will!

TERRY: Very, very cheap.

You bought that on the cheap, didn't you, Serhat?

Thank you very much for that.

VO: If only Serhat could have bid - you might have made a profit.

I feel for you, though, because that...

I... You liked it as well.

Yeah, I think you've been... you've been unlucky so far.

VO: Time for Lucy's cast-iron doorstops.

So £82.

So you paid as much as you lost on the last lot for these?

JR: Yeah.

Wow!

SA: Yep, yep.

LP: (CHUCKLES) At £30 now.

JR: That seems cheap.

TERRY: 35, I want.

I've got, at 35.

At 35.

I want 40 now.

40, thank you.

Going up in fives which is a good sign.

Much better.

Thank you.

50.

Yes!

(CHUCKLES) TERRY: 55.

SA: Got a way to go.

TERRY: 60.

JR: Oh, they're moving!

65.

65, we're up to.

At 65, 65... JR: 65!

LP: 65.

Do you know what?

JR: Getting better.

Anything that's not a loss of £80 feels like a win.

VO: Indeed.

Every little victory counts.

I think that's a result.

We're doing fine.

VO: Jenny's mid-century French classroom poster is up next.

LP: Signaux de danger.

JR: Yes.

Exactly.

That's what I call Serhat, "signaux de danger."

So come and start me at £30 on this one.

Come on!

Come on, start me at 20.

Start me at 10, then!

I've got a £10 in the room.

I just want to make a profit, any profit.

TERRY: 14.

At 14.

JR: Come on.

TERRY: 16.

JR: Yes!

At 16.

I'm happy about £2.

(CHUCKLES) At £16, I sell to saleroom at 16, if you're all done.

Oh!

VO: Magnifique.

It's a profit.

SM: £2 profit.

JR: Yes!

That sounds like a massive amount of money to me.

VO: Will Lucy's Martini mirror shake up proceedings?

Have a theme between us, don't we?

We really do.

Start me at £50 on this one.

20, I've got.

Straight in at £20, now, at £20.

At 22 now.

At 22, 24.

At 24 now.

At 24 and I'm looking for 26 now.

At 24 and I've got the lady at 24... LP: Oh, no!

JR: 24?!

SA: Oh, goodness!

JR: Oh, my goodness!

24!

It's not the booze day.

VO: I think Lucy must have broken a mirror.

No luck today.

Yeah, this crowd are too sober.

It's being sold in a dry county, clearly.

VO: By royal appointment next, Jenny's final lot.

Do we think this is gonna make us a profit more than £2?

JR: £3, maybe.

SM: £3.50.

Come on, come on.

£3.

I think you'll do well on this, I think you're gonna do well on this.

If it makes 30 quid, I'll be super happy.

£50 has come straight in.

LP: Whoa!

SA: Wahey!

At £50, I'll take 55 now.

At £50 now.

I was happy with 30!

55 in the room.

At 55.

At 55.

60's come in.

Wahey!

This is amazing!

SM: (CHORTLES) I'm glad I spotted that little check!

At 65 now, at 65, I'm looking for 70 now.

£65!

At 65, have you all done?

I'm selling.

LP: Well done.

SM: Shall we do a little dance?

JR: Yes, a victory dance.

LP: Oh my goodness!

VO: God Save The Queen, indeed.

A tidy profit there.

Do you think the winning bidder was the one who the check was made out to originally?

SA: She wanted her check back.

JR: She cashed it now.

"I wondered where that went."

VO: Lucy's last chance to get into profit now, her oak library steps.

So, so far, they've liked royals.

They don't like booze.

Let's see if they like going up steps.

(CHUCKLES) TERRY: Start me on this one.

BIDDER: 30.

TERRY: 30 straight in thank you.

LP: (GASPS) Oh, we're gonna need to do a bit better than that, aren't we?

Oh, no!

At 40.

Five.

At 45.

50.

£55.

Right now, it's your second biggest loss.

Oh, I feel vindicated, then.

At £70.

Have you all done at 70?

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: You've got to laugh or cry, I suppose.

I've just remembered I need to be somewhere else.

OK, yeah..

So you could all just go...

I might, I might do that.

VO: Despite some brave purchases, Lucy only made a small profit.

She started off with £400, and after paying commission, overall, made quite a loss, finishing this trip with £200.08.

While Jenny also had £400 to spend, she was much more frugal with her buys.

She made a smaller loss and spent less money, so, after saleroom fees, she wins the day with £385.28.

Oh well, that was fun.

I've got the auction bug now.

I know.

Shall we just go straight to another auction?

JR: Absolutely.

LP: (CHUCKLES) JR: Look at that!

LP: Look at this!

That is... Oh, this is what you want, isn't it?

That's straight out of a book.

They've probably got some 'tiques.

Yes.

Oh, imagine, imagine what you would see if you went into these houses.

Just knock on.

We could just break in.

It could be like a sort of stealth... stealth Antiques Road Trip.

Where you just break into people's houses and have a look at their antiques.

JR: Antiques Jail Time.

LP: (CHUCKLES) VO: Toodle-oo, ladies.
