VO: The nation's favorite celebrities... Wow.

VO: ..paired up with an expert... Ow.

Ow.

Get it sorted.

VO: ..and a classic car.

She's beautiful.

We're steaming.

VO: Their mission - to scour Britain for antiques.

Is that antique?

I'll take it.

I'll take it.

I'll take it.

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

(GAVEL) VO: But it's no easy ride...

There's a dog chasing us!

VO: Who will find a hidden gem?

I love that.

VO: Who will take the biggest risk?

Ah!

VO: Will anybody follow expert advice?

Yeah, uh, OK, I know what that means.

Whoo-hoo!

VO: There will be worthy winners...

Yes!

VO: ..and valiant losers.

Disaster.

VO: Put your pedal to the metal.

Let's go shopping.

Woo-hoo!

VO: This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip!

VO: Oh yes!

(MUSIC) Dancing Queen by Abba VO: Having the time of your life!

See that girl!

Watch that scene!

Oh yeah!

It must be hilarious for people on the road going "what's Anneka Rice driving in a cab with that silent witness woman"?

VO: I quite agree!

What I'm liking is the way that we can't look at each other.

I know.

And that we're back to back.

I feel very Abba.

It is very Abba.

VO: Oooh.

I'll be Bjorn!

Ha!

Anneka's black cab harks back to the 50s and the original, iconic London taxi.

One problem though.

Liz, I can't hear, actually, one word you're saying.

LIZ: That's why cabbies shout.

Yes.

It's the only way to communicate.

VO: Explains a lot.

Are you competitive?

D'you know, I haven't got a competitive bone in my body.

Anyway, I wouldn't ever be competitive with my friend, would I?

I am competitive.

Oh, really, Liz.

You've rather disappointed me, me having laid my cards on the table and really seeing you just as a friend, and therefore I couldn't be competitive.

(LAUGHS) VO: Action packed Anneka Rice is a British television icon from the 80s, famous for wearing jumpsuits.

Do you remember being in this neck of the woods before?

Yes, I do, I do.

Because I have flown around most of this stretch of Britain.

Did you ever have any near misses?

Yeah, we had a lot of near misses, and I sometimes did end up in A&E after filming.

Ah!

VO: Crikey.

Not on this production, thank you!

Our other road tripper is actress and comedian Liz Carr.

Best loved for her role as a forensic scientist in a hit crime drama.

May I compliment you on your driving, Anneka?

Oh, thank you.

She says, as you fling me around the corner.

VO: Our duo have been friends for nearly 10 years.

Do you remember that day we met, Liz?

How could I forget?

Bunch of disabled people, you came in to tell us how to be a presenter, most of us couldn't jump out of helicopters.

That put paid to our presenting career.

I know, it was a strange choice, wasn't it, getting sort of the person who's known as an action girl...

I know.

..to come and talk to people in wheelchairs.

Look at her.

Look at her running around the countryside.

(LAUGHS) VO: Ha ha!

Joining our celebs on this treasure hunt are two all-action experts.

But no jumpsuits for James Braxton nor Phil Serrell.

D'you know, you and I must've bought some antiques in our time.

No, I can't remember it, no.

We have.

I'm not having people going round saying things like that about me.

I tell you what, you could fill up a lot of big skips, couldn't you?

A lot of big skips with what I've bought.

Yeah.

VO: Yeah.

James is behind the wheel of a sleek Jaguar XJ8.

I'm very excited, James.

Very very excited.

Why are you so excited, Phil?

Well, Anneka Rice, she was an absolute pin up for men of a certain age.

And I'm a man of a certain age.

Yeah, she was.

One of the issues I might have is that when she did the Challenge Anneka, she was used to getting things for free, wasn't she?

God, just think what she's gonna be like with 400 quid.

Lethal.

You're gonna get some stuff.

We... Well, we'll probably come back with £400 and a boot load of treasure.

And what about Liz?

Well, I think she's very brainy.

You don't feel intimidated by that, do you?

JAMES: No.

PHIL: Really?

I...I...I...

You know, we all have our different talents, OK?

Yeah.

Mine's flannel, and she is obviously... She's obviously brains.

VO: Well I think we know who is going to be wearing the trousers there, then.

Ah, woah, Jim.

VO: Let's get them paired up and on the road.

Oh, they can barely get out of the car.

They can barely get out of the car.

I don't feel so bad now to be fair.

Yeah.

They're making me look Paralympian.

Good to see you.

How are you?

Good afternoon.

PHIL: How are you?

LIZ: Morning, wherever we are.

How are you?

Phil, how very nice to see you.

JAMES: James.

ANNEKA: Hello.

Hello.

Liz, Liz.

LIZ: Hello James.

JAMES: Good to see you.

What kept you?

His driving.

The car, it's absolutely enormous.

VO: I'm not sure that taxi is going to be any easier!

So James will be playing cabbie to Liz.

Perfect!

DOOR SLAMS VO: And Anneka will be in the driving seat of the Jag with Phil.

Is it business or pleasure?

(LAUGHS) Right.

We're offski.

Ooh, we are moving.

Seeing James Braxton drive a taxi is a first, and I am actually really enjoying it.

VO: And they're off!

I wanna know, who's more competitive, you or Liz?

I haven't a competitive bone in my body.

What skills do you think you can bring to antique hunting?

To those of us on wheels, you often can't go in places, or very far, so in shops I'm very good at going in and almost scanning in this Six Million Dollar Man superhero way, going do-do-do-do-do.

Then, a-ha.

I see that over there.

That over there.

Yeah.

LIZ: And sieving out... JAMES: Yeah.

..the gems.

That will be useful.

There's gonna be bragging rights for this.

Right?

Now, so it's all very well you saying, d'you know what, I'm just happy to be here.

If we don't win, you from Liz, me from James, we are both gonna get it.

Yeah.

So, I think we need just to ramp it up a bit.

You need to... You're trying to get me... Yeah, I know.

Yeah.

In the zone.

I should warn you, I have a great love of camp and kitsch.

And what will Liz be looking for?

I'm just hoping that Liz's wheelchair careers into a whole glassware section and she turns up into the auction with just a box full of broken glass.

VO: I say!

Woo-hoo.

The gloves are off already.

Everyone is headed for auction in Greenwich... VO: ..but there is plenty of maneuvering around the Midlands before then.

Liz and James's first shop is in Shakespeare's birth place, Stratford Upon Avon.

All's well that ends well.

They hope.

Right, here we are, Liz.

Meter off!

VO: Thank you.

Liz and James have arrived at Bonds, set over two floors with around 40 dealers.

Both teams have £400 to spend, but where to start?

Scanning.

I tell you what I'm picking up on my scanning radar.

LIZ: What?

JAMES: Quite high prices.

How do you know what's actually an antique and what's just been made to look old?

That's, that's, that's experience.

But I like to call it wisdom.

Is that why you're here with me?

Wisdom, yeah.

Sort of like an old owl.

VO: Actually, he's a hoot!

(CHUCKLES) Back to business, please.

She has got no arms.

That makes me love her.

What would you say?

She's very heavy.

So, she's made of cast iron.

Yeah?

So, the material.

Nice, heavy material.

And this is one of my great tests.

The Braxton weight test.

But she's been damaged, hasn't she?

She's fallen over or something.

Does that mean, are you gonna get less money because she's damaged?

Well, one of the hallmarks of our business is condition, condition, condition.

Right.

You're seeing merit in the total reverse.

It's funny, isn't it?

Yeah.

Exactly, cuz I'm thinking that's why I'd want it.

Funnily enough, I want it because in conventional terms it's broken.

Yeah?

But I see a beauty in that.

Yeah.

But I guess people often see things, like bodies that are different, or whatever, as broken, and I just think that's just unusual to me.

Yeah.

They've said damaged, so they've priced it down.

But it has age.

1930s.

1930s.

So, it's almost 100 years old.

It's amazing, isn't it, to think... Can I keep her on my maybe list?

I think so, because actually, you're projecting something on to her that I haven't seen before.

Yeah.

You're teaching me to look at things in new eyes.

Likewise.

VO: Here's to that.

VO: Meanwhile Anneka and Phil have pointed their classic car in a Birmingham direction.

I think it's Challenge Anneka time.

What does that mean?

Well, rather than go to a shop, why don't we go and try and find somewhere that's a bit, you know, off the beaten track?

Yes, yeah, I like the sound of that.

Perhaps a farm or something?

VO: Oh here we go!

I like the sound of that.

You know, I like a bit of jeopardy, off the cuff, yeah.

Follow that tractor, Anneka, follow that tractor.

Yes, there's...

Follow that tractor.

(LAUGHS) Turn right, turn right, turn right, turn right.

Cottage farm.

VO: I don't know why we bother.

Dun diddle-un, Dun diddle-un, Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun.

Oh, I'm very happy up here.

Very happy with this.

What a place.

Shall we head into the house?

Hello?

Hello?

VO: Keen viewers will know farmer's son Phil is a fan of agricultural antiques .

It's not uncommon for him to head off the beaten track.

Look out, farmer John.

John, we'd like to buy something off you, if we could.

Buy something?

Seriously... Something that's old.

But something that's old.

That you don't mind getting rid of.

And we'll take it off your hands.

I've got a load of it out in the field.

Can we see?

Let's go and have a look, then.

I'm very happy with the way this road trip is developing, because I just love busking, you know, being on the road.

In my element.

And cows.

What about you?

Can we leave with one of you?

Eh?

Can we leave with one of you?

Don't run off.

It'd be nice to leave with something, wouldn't it?

VO: Luckily John has a whole hoard of treasures inside also.

John, you've gotta have a bit of a clear up, you really have.

JOHN: Have I?

PHIL: Yeah.

No, not in my time.

What, leave it for somebody else?

Yeah, leave it for somebody else.

What's that?

What about... Are those old ammo boxes, over there?

Ammo boxes?

There.

Would you want to sell those?

What's inside them?

Shall we get one outside?

Go on, bring 'em outside.

And em... Oh, look at that.

I wondered where that had gone.

(LAUGHS) What would you want for the four?

Ooh.

You tell me.

Oh, here we go.

I think four of them at auction might make between 15 and 30 quid.

So, we've gotta try and buy 'em off you for a tenner.

A tenner?

Is that all?

Yeah, it is.

Bloody hell, he's a very mean devil, isn't he?

Hey, can I just tell you something?

Do you know why I'm a mean devil?

No.

Farmer's son.

Oh, that's it then.

You'd understand now, wouldn't you?

I would, oh yeah, yeah.

That explains everything.... Yeah, it explains everything.

VO: Sure does.

Meanwhile, back in Stratford, how are Liz and James faring?

That's quite fun.

"Vintage Crown Devon nibbles".

I think it's 60s.

This would've been the fulcrum of fun.

Wouldn't it?

Oh, I do like it a lot.

Cheesy, nibbly bits.

Sort of smoked meats.

What do people have?

Cheese boards.

LIZ: Olives.

JAMES: Olives.

It's... That's a bit, bit exotic isn't it?

What about a silverskin onion?

They would've had those.

Oh, yes.

I would have this at home.

Absolutely, I'd have this at home.

Would you?

I would be proud to present my nibbles... Would you?

..in this, in this ensemble.

VO: That's one to think about, then.

What's next?

Yeah, now this.

So that's... That's pretty, isn't it?

Oh, ho, ho, ho, look at this.

"A 19th century", it says, "brass student's microscope."

And then it's got some slides in there, has it?

Oh, yes it has.

This a bit of Clarissa in you, is it?

I'm guessing so.

I mean, I didn't realize that she was so embedded in me.

I love that.

And it's pretty, because it's gilt brass.

Mm-hm.

OK?

So, it's got that gilded look to it.

And it's functional.

It works, doesn't it?

Yep.

And I like the fact that it's got its little accessories.

The tweezers, and the slides.

Yeah.

It's been looked after.

That box is very good condition, isn't it?

I mean, what date would this be?

Probably late 19th century.

But, you know, this would be a really prized object.

It would be.

It would be expensive.

It would have been very expensive.

Presumably, so you would, I would think you really would look after it.

You would.

What, what's the price?

So, it's £85.

£85.

I think it's very pretty, and I think it's sort of slightly...you, isn't it?

It's really me.

It's on the list, isn't it?

It's definitely on the list.

VO: The list keeps getting longer.

You'll have to make a decision soon.

Wow!

VO: Meanwhile, somewhere off the M42... (COCKEREL CROWS) ..Phil's unorthodox approach to antique shopping has kept his celebrity busy on a farm.

Before the deals, let's speak to the boss.

Farmer John's wife, Mary.

How are you?

Fine, thanks.

I'm sorry to appear on you.

But we'd like to buy some things off you if you would sell 'em to us.

If you're happy for us to have a deal with his master, about the... Yeah, well he's in charge.

Really?

He told us that you were.

He told us you were.

VO: So, with Mary's seal of approval... ..hm, it's down to business.

What would you be happy with?

Oh, as much as you like.

(LAUGHS) Well, how about... Well, we were kind of thinking as little as you like.

Oh, that's bad then, in't it?

20 quid or something?

Well, 25 how's that?

I'm happy with 25.

Go on then.

JOHN: She's happy with that.

ANNEKA: Thank you.

You are, you're a star.

Look at that, thank you very much, yeah.

I'll have to hide that quick, before she has it off me.

Well, I'm, I'm gonna go and tell her.

Oh!

VO: So that's four metal ammunition boxes, a galvanized water can and bowl - all for £25.

And Mary has thrown in a cup of tea.

Help yourselves to sugar.

VO: And some Battenberg for free.

Oh, I love Battenberg.

VO: Haven't had that for years.

I feel very happy with our purchases.

Cheers.

Very happy.

And here's to you.

Thank you.

VO: Ha ha!

Back in Stratford-Upon-Avon, I wonder what's to be, or not to be?

Oh, no!

Liz and James have gathered their favorite items and are taking stock with dealer Neil.

First up, the £85 microscope.

Here we go.

Well, you've presented me with a slight problem, because it says no trade.

It's just so very Silent Witness, Neil.

It is, very Silent Witness.

You know?

And for that reason I'll give you it for 80.

I would all the years of pleasure that that show has given you... (LAUGHS) VO: Let's hope he's a fan!

75.

That's as low as I can go, if that's alright?

Thank you.

Brilliant.

Yeah.

VO: Good man, but what about our armless lady?

I see...

I know what you see.

I know.

I see a loss.

D'you know what, the microscope is Clarissa, the nibbles dish is very Liz.

I am going to take those two.

Okey doke.

Yeah?

VO: That's the microscope for 75 and the nibble dish at the ticket price of £19.

Do you normally shop with a porter?

(LAUGHS) You have your uses.

VO: With a spend so far of £94 they have 306 left for their last shop.

Where to, madam?

Where to?

Onwards.

Onwards and upwards.

Onwards.

VO: Back in the Jag, Anneka has a confession.

I don't know a lot about antiques.

I'm gonna come clean.

PHIL: You're in good company.

ANNEKA: Yeah.

Yeah.

Because I'm an artist, a painter, I tend to see stuff that I might see in an antique shop, I see it as an opportunity to give it another life as something else.

VO: After their detour they are heading for Birmingham, finally, for another pit stop that artist Anneka should enjoy.

It's quite interesting, cuz where we are, in Warwickshire... Yeah?

There's this arts and crafts movement, and a lot of it was based in this neck of the woods.

Cuz, I really like that whole arts and crafts thing, cuz it was a movement against all of that industrialization going on wasn't it?

Absolutely right, yeah.

VO: Birmingham, one of the industrial powerhouses of the 19th century was at the forefront of the arts and crafts movement, where advocates of social reform and a return to traditional skills gathered.

That's fantastic.

I love that.

VO: The city's museum and art gallery has many fine examples of their work.

Designs which hark back to an older, simpler time.

Anneka and Phil are here to find out more in the company of artist, Ana Rutter.

The industrial revolution, which had really been going on since the sort of 1700s, had completely altered manufacturing.

Furniture, jewelry, silver, probably not paintings, but just about everything else was mechanized, wasn't it?

It put hundreds of people out of work immediately.

Yeah, yeah.

And all this creativity, nowhere to go, in a way.

And that was part of these changes to the arts education system, that things like painting, sculpture and fine arts, and architecture and design were all sort of aligned and brought together.

And that was the sort of the beginning of the arts and crafts movement.

Art schools came together in different areas of the country and there was this rise in this sort of belief that things needed to be readdressed and looked at differently.

I'm dying to see the School of Art.

Shall we head over there and have a look?

Yeah, can we go?

I would love to see that building.

VO: One of the catalysts for the arts and crafts movement in Birmingham was the 1885 opening of the School of Art.

The country's first purpose built municipal art school.

It remains a working establishment today, as part of Birmingham City University.

Oh, wow.

That is just glorious, isn't it?

People have often described the front of this building as kind of a cathedral, a cathedral to art education.

VO: The grade one listed Venetian Gothic style building was designed by John Henry Chamberlain, it's thought to be his finest work, but he died before the first brick was laid.

It took 16 months to build and cost just over £21,000 - the equivalent of about two and half million in today's money.

The funding of the building of the School of Art was really sort of made by local industrialists, with this idea of putting money back into the city and the education of people in the city to develop its manufacturing processes and the skills in the city.

VO: This progressive take on art education influenced schools around the country.

Highlights included its purpose-built workshops, the revival of traditional techniques and a focus on producing items that were designed in class.

Many associated with the school were at the forefront of the arts and crafts movement, and they became known as The Birmingham Group.

The Birmingham Group were really a sort of a loose collection of staff and students that were really based here at the School of Art, and one of the things that was really interesting about them is that they spanned a number of disciplines, so there was fine artists, there was architects, there was designers, and there was makers in a range of different ways.

Because the architectural side of it is very important, isn't it?

And it brings into the arts and crafts movement a lot of the ideas around making whole spaces and making things all work together in a holistic way.

I wonder if the group at the time realized they were pioneering this movement.

So influential.

When you're in it...

I think you probably don't.

What a thrill for an art student, to come here and be able to sort of branch off in all these different areas.

I think that's one of the things that made it so successful, the building of these sorts of art schools, the development of these sorts of art schools fundamentally just changed art education, design, and manufacturing even in the country.

VO: Our twosome in the taxi are on their way to Warwick.

But Liz is considering a U-turn.

I feel a bit guilty for not taking my Dutch woman.

Do you?

I championed a Dutch woman with no arms and then I gave her hope that she was gonna find a home... And then you dashed it.

And then I dashed her hope at the last minute.

James, we spent £94 on two objects.

Yeah?

So, we've got, what, 306 left.

I tell you what, the meter's 150 already.

VO: Ha ha!

They are heading to Warwick Antiques Centre.

The ramp tells me this must be it.

It must be it.

I've been here before.

It's very good.

Have you?

OK.

Very good.

Very nice people.

In we go.

Now, I wanted to show you this.

Being an epicurean sort of foodie person.

Right?

I've found something that I haven't seen many before.

It's silver.

So, you've got the silver hallmarks there, and it's Danish Blue.

And it says "a cheese flag".

Yes.

So, you pop it in the cheese...

I mean, it's really quite cute, isn't it?

Yeah.

I like anything kind of little.

"Help, help".

(LAUGHS) Help, help.

Just gonna look up the date letter.

OK, and where's that?

How do you know?

So, the date letter's on the back.

Mm-hm.

It's quite new, in fact.

It's 1972.

Now, that's a very good year.

Why is it a good... Just a very good year.

Is it?

A woman never gives away her age.

(LAUGHS) But I'm just saying it's a very good year.

It's a very good year.

Yeah.

I like it.

Let's keep looking.

OK, OK, OK. LIZ: James?

JAMES: Hello.

I wanna show you something.

I'm all eyes.

LIZ: So, this cabinet... JAMES: Yeah?

..really excites me.

I loved history at school and I think this looks almost like a museum.

It does.

Here are sort of pieces from Roman period, early medieval period.

It's a... And these.

Can I show you these?

"A very good group of four bronze horse harness bells".

Horse harness bells.

Look at that.

What are "crotal bells"?

They sound almost painful.

It sounds like a medical problem.

It does doesn't it?

VO: Don't ask!

This type of bell would alert people to approaching horses.

As well as being decorative they were thought to bring good luck, and highlight the owner's wealth.

Nice sound, aren't they?

Aren't they?

It's very satisfying.

And these would be made of... Do they say?

Bronze.

Oh, they say bronze.

And I like that they were found in an excavation in Nottinghamshire.

I like the sense of history.

I like the fact of holding something that was around back then.

That excites me.

Historical bells, or a cheese flag?

Where are we gonna go?

(SIGHS) You're making, you're making the cheese flag seem sort of frivolous.

LIZ: Well, it's frippery.

JAMES: Frippery.

If it's anything, it's frippery.

It is frippery.

Whereas this is history.

VO: They are priced at £75.

Time to talk money with Colin.

Colin?

Really interested in these bells, which we've now discovered are crotal bells.

And we wondered if you're in a position to negotiate.

Well, we can do a bit on them, but I mean, they're quite rare and they're in very good condition for the age.

They're quite small, as crotals go.

And I see them at about sort of a tenner each, myself.

60?

How's 60?

Too strong for us.

I think we'd lose money at auction at 60.

Is there any way you could do it at 50?

Yeah, 50 without the box.

JAMES: Perfect.

COLIN: Alright.

Colin, thank you.

COLIN: Thank you.

LIZ: Colin, you're a gentleman.

JAMES: There we are.

LIZ: Thank you.

VO: Success, the crotal bells are theirs.

Liz, let's run before he changes his mind.

(LAUGHS) To the hackney cab.

To the hackney cab.

VO: It's been a busy old day.

Home time!

So, supper is something I'm looking forward to.

Supper would be good.

A small glass of wine.

Because I feel we can celebrate, because we've got through the day.

Absolutely.

And we haven't argued.

No, no, we'll never argue.

Because I'm living the dream.

I thought I recognized that tree.

Are we going round in circles?

I'm just saying.

Do you think we're going round in circles?

I mean, these roads kind of all look the same.

D'you actually know where we're going?

I think we've only passed that tree three times, haven't we?

OK.

It's a nice tree, so it's fine.

VO: (CHUCKLES) Well, good luck Liz.

Sleep tight!

VO: Rise and shine.

It's a brand new day, and things are looking bright.

Taxi!

Taxi!

(LAUGHS) Oh my God, Liz.

Recognize it?

So, you like it then?

Have you got jumpsuit envy?

What d'you mean, have I got jumpsuit?

We've all got jumpsuit envy.

It even says summer fun.

I just love you.

(LAUGHS) (LAUGHS) Sensational!

You look amazing.

Should we go and sort of vaguely do some antique hunting, though?

I thought this might, you know, we could do it even faster today.

OK. Maybe we will find some antique jumpsuits.

VO: Brilliant!

Now, what's the chat in the Jag?

Did you have a good day with Liz?

I had a lovely day with Liz.

She's a very nice lady.

I didn't know she was a stand up comedian.

Well, I was gonna say, she strikes me that she's got a vicious sense of humor.

She has.

So, I decided to challenge Anneka, and send her on a treasure hunt.

Really?

Where do you think we ended up?

Knowing you, a farm.

How did you know that?

Well, I know you, Phil.

And you bought something rusty, presumably.

I couldn't possibly comment, James.

LIZ: Annie?

ANNEKA: Yeah?

Eh, if you see a phonebox at the roadside... Yeah?

Could you pull over?

I want to get changed.

I thought you were gonna stay in that for at least until April.

Well, I mean it's very comfortable.

I can see why it was a choice for you, I just don't think James could cope, with his age.

He might be a bit over excited, I do agree.

I just...

I don't wanna risk it, so... OK, I can see a phonebox, actually.

Great.

Yes Milady.

I like playing Parker to your Lady Penelope.

VO: Yesterday, Anneka and Phil were too busy having fun on the farm to make a dent in their budget.

Wow!

VO: They have spent just 25 of their £400.

I feel very happy with our purchases.

VO: Liz however splashed out on three items.

I love that.

VO: From kitsch...

This would have been the fulcrum of fun.

VO: ..to crotal.

It sounds like a medical problem.

VO: She has £256 left.

And now she's back in her civvies it's time for a sneak peak at each other's buys.

Reveal your objects.

What on earth is that?

Look at that.

What is it?

Is that... That's a military sort of thing, isn't it?

But we want to know what you think.

Well, not a lot, really, Anneka.

I've have never liked him, never.

Here we are.

VO: Play nice you two.

Ours is quite different.

This is...

This is your thing, isn't it?

Yeah.

This is a little treasure.

It's a little microscope.

Microscope.

With the slides.

A little microscope for Clarissa.

How much was that?

None of your business.

Oh, it was pennies, really.

Our piece de resistance, look at these.

Yes, look at them.

Balls?

Balls.

Not just balls.

Ah, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

Not... Bells.

ANNEKA: Oh.

JAMES: Bells.

Listen, listen to this.

It's actually balls.

Anneka, I've just had enough of this.

Let's go.

It's embarrassing.

Yeah, good luck, as well.

I think you need it.

VO: Fighting talk, eh?

But what do they really think?

Do you know what?

I sort of hate to admit it, but I really liked it.

I knew Phil would be instantly drawn to any metal that was slightly corroded.

Rust, he loves a bit of rust, Phil.

Do you know, there's another tractor.

Do you think we should follow that one?

Oh, God, don't.

No, we've said no more farms today.

No, we're gonna try and be, gonna try and be a bit more in the spirit of the show... Yeah, absolutely.

..which is called the Antiques Road Trip.

Antiques road trip.

Rather than 'On the farm with Phil and Annie.'

VO: Exactly.

VO: Today their destination is Castle Donnington.

Where they are visiting Once Removed Antiques and Collectables.

Oh, this is a nice shop, isn't it?

This is very nice.

Oh, my goodness.

I've already seen something.

What, that?

Immediately.

VO: A 1930s trolley basket.

Interesting.

The man in charge is also a Phil.

From a factory in Lancashire.

Is it out of a mill?

Laundry.

Yeah, a laundry basket or whatever, yeah.

Oh, I like that very much.

No you don't.

Shhh!

Sorry, no, I hate...

It's really rubbish.

Sorry.

Will you please play hard to get?

So, why do you like it?

ANNEKA: I think it's unusual.

PHIL: Yep.

I've never seen anything like it.

I like the provenance of it.

You know how we were saying we liked a story, a bit of social history?

Philip's just told us, you know, that it was a laundry basket.

That's, that's seen some action, hasn't it?

I think it's a cool thing.

VO: Very cool.

And a cool ticket price of £180.

You're not going to get me pushing you round in it, Anneka are you?

I just want...oh.

You see, if I was four, this would keep me amused for a year or two.

Can't believe I'm sitting in a laundry basket VO: That makes two of us.

Can we get it to two figures, not three?

Em... Wince, go on...

I don't mind you wincing.

Two would be 95, really.

It's a step in the right direction, Phil.

If we could put a package together.

If you were to buy one or two other things I could perhaps do a better deal.

I better let you out.

You can come out now.

You've been a good girl.

Honestly, I could spend hours in there.

VO: Each to their own, eh?

Right, what else is tempting in here?

The other thing I really like a lot are these scales.

There's just something utterly beautiful about that to my mind.

They're really cool.

I mean, scales and I are strange bedfellows, we don't get on very well, but they're actually... "French Berkel scales, vintage, 1950s."

That is a really beautiful piece.

It's a...

It's a stylish look, isn't it?

That you would have on display, wouldn't you?

You wouldn't ever put that away.

That is really, really cool.

D'you think it's too niche for auction?

No, no, I love 'em.

Do you?

No, no, we're gonna buy 'em.

We're gonna buy that and we're gonna buy that.

Oh, God.

VO: The scales sport a ticket price of £70.

Anything else to weigh up?

Ha!

Have a look at this table.

Basically, if you tip it up, oak, 18th century, 1740, 1750, little table.

Lovely little drawer, look.

That's good, isn't it?

PHIL: It is.

ANNEKA: Yeah.

That's the good bits.

ANNEKA: Yeah.

PHIL: There's the bad bit.

Can you see the difference in color?

Yeah.

Yeah.

See, it's got, it's either got two new leaves on it, or two leaves that somebody's stripped clean.

Does it matter?

If someone's buying it... Yeah, it does.

..cheaply at auction, they just want it for their home.

Yeah, but it's got to be £20.

Yeah.

VO: It's priced at £50.

Time to make a plan, perhaps?

Well... Ooh, it's tense work, isn't it?

It is, it is.

Now... Looks so easy on the telly.

(SIGHS) I think we say to Philip 100?

Yeah.

For the three.

How d'you feel about that?

And then I'll pick him up off the floor.

VO: Gird ye loins, Phil.

We wondered how you'd feel about £100 for the little table, the scales and the chest?

Ooh, yeah, that's a little... A little harsh for three.

I just, I thought, I thought it sounded an easy number.

I could probably...125.

Oh really?

What you do now is you say we'll give you £110, right, and stick your hand out very quickly, so he goes to shake it.

Right?

And when you say £110, nod your head like that, and he'll nod back.

You try it.

So, Philip, how do you feel about £110?

Er... Well, since it's you, yes.

Oh!

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, thank you.

Thank you.

VO: That's another three things to take to auction and 265 still to spend.

Now, whither James and Liz?

Liz, what is your job title in Silent Witness?

So, my character, Clarissa Mullery is a forensic examiner.

Well, funnily enough we're gonna take a detour to find out about the history of forensics.

Oh, brilliant.

We, we could take them our microscope.

Technology has...

I've seen you on the program... has moved on slightly, hasn't it?

Yes, well slightly, slightly.

VO: James is taking Silent Witness star Liz to Nottingham, for a bit of busman's holiday.

They've an appointment at an Edwardian police station.

Is Braxton about to feel the long arm of the law?

What are we heading towards James?

I don't know.

Impending doom I think, isn't it?

VO: Of course not, they're at the National Justice Museum, to hear how one man changed criminal investigation forever.

The credibility of forensic science today owes much to the early 20th century work of Bernard Spilsbury.

Described by the press at the time as a 'real life Sherlock Holmes' Curator Bev Baker, a 'real-life Dr Watson', is on hand to help our pair investigate two of his most famous cases.

So, at what point did he start to make his name in forensics?

It was actually a particular case in 1910.

And it's the case of Dr Crippen.

An American lady called Cora Crippen, a musical singer, had disappeared.

When they initially interviewed her husband, Dr Crippen, he told them, "Oh, she's gone back to America to see friends and family."

But there was just something about his demeanor that the Chief Inspector Dew actually felt was a bit suspicious.

So, he went back to the Crippens' house.

And they actually came across some human remains under the cellar.

VO: Crippen fled to Canada with his mistress.

But the pair were recognized by a keen-eyed ship's captain and brought back to the UK to stand trial.

However, the only remains recovered was a torso.

And Crippen denied all knowledge.

Without an identifiable body, Crippen looked destined to escape the hangman's noose.

There's one particular piece of evidence found under the cellar at the house that made the name of Bernard Spilsbury.

VO: Spilsbury discovered a piece of scar tissue consistent with Cora's medical history, and convinced the jury the body was hers.

Was Spilsbury's presentation of evidence, was it different to others'?

Remarkably, actually.

So, Spilsbury's actually the first forensic scientist and expert witness to actually use non scientific jargon.

He actually put things in simple layman's terms so that the jury and the public could actually understand what was being presented to them.

VO: The jury took less than half an hour to find Crippen guilty of murder.

He went to the gallows, and Spilsbury into the history books.

Spilsbury's impressive displays in the courtroom brought him national recognition.

And he made perhaps his biggest splash with a case known as the Brides in the Bath .

Spooky!

Just a little!

(LAUGHS) So, tell us about these brides.

It actually started in 1914 and it's the case of not just one murder, but three murders.

VO: Alice Burnham was found dead in her bathtub.

But with no obvious signs of violence, it appeared a tragic accident.

However, when two other almost identical cases were brought to light, Alice's husband became the prime suspect.

George Joseph Smith, a 43 year old ex convict is arrested on suspicion of murder.

VO: With limited physical evidence, the prosecution called again on forensic star Spilsbury.

Bernard actually started to look at all three cases in depth.

He actually started to realize some similarities.

It was the position in which the women were actually found.

On their backs, with their feet out of the water.

So, he actually started to theorize how these women actually died.

And he wanted to demonstrate his theory at the court case at the Old Bailey.

I'd actually like to use you, James, to actually show how George Smith committed these murders.

VO: Nice knowing you James.

So, you want me lying down?

If you wouldn't mind, James.

Yeah, I'll be your stooge.

Bernard Spilsbury did this not, obviously, with just any volunteer.

He actually did this with a championship swimmer.

And so, she was in the bath, and he literally lifted up her legs and gave her a sharp tug.

Ooh.

So, it was just a simple tug them under the water, so the shock meant they inhaled it, went unconscious, and drowned?

Yep.

As simple as that.

He knew what he was doing, didn't he?

Oh, yes.

VO: Smith had changed his name to marry all three of the victims, before murdering them and claiming their life insurance.

Would Spilsbury's courtroom theatrics bring Smith to justice?

Presumably because he showed everybody in court how the murders had been committed, in his view, it was really easy to convict the murderer?

Most definitely, and it only took the jury 20 minutes to decide a verdict of guilty.

VO: Spilsbury's combination of scientific knowledge, layman presentation, and a smattering of self-publicity later brought him a knighthood.

But his keen mind ensured countless criminals faced justice, earning him another well-deserved title - the father of forensics.

VO: For their last shopping spree both teams are on their way to Leicester, but Phil and Anneka have a head start.

I have to say, I think it's fantastic, I'm being driven around glorious countryside in a lovely car, by Anneka Rice.

How cool is that?

Oh, Phil, you say the nicest things.

It's true, it's just fantastic.

VO: Serrell you old charmer.

Ha ha!

They have arrived at Leicester Antiques Warehouse with £265 to spend.

And a whole load of love.

Let's concentrate really hard.

Yeah.

If anything grabs you, just shout at me.

VO: There are thousands of antiques here, but they have arrived before the others and Anneka is putting her feet up.

Why not?

Quietly quite confident that what we did earlier was spot on.

The key is finding the, the one nugget.

So, Phil and I have sort of split up and are having a look around.

But, you know, I'm just sitting here hoping he doesn't notice I'm having five minutes to collapse.

VO: I wouldn't worry about slacking off Anneka.

I've been practicing my impersonations, right?

It's taken me years to perfect this one, but... James Braxton (LAUGHS) VO: Careful, he is on the way!

As long as he doesn't get lost.

Again.

James, we've got one shop left.

Yep?

£256, what's the tactic?

Go big or go home?

I think we should go big.

As long as we pick with our hearts.

VO: Good idea, but I am not sure that's Anneka's tactic.

That's quite interesting.

Has it got a dead body inside, before we even... Well, we'll have a look.

I hope not.

I mean, it's a coaching trunk.

Yeah.

Leather bound.

You can't put anything on the top of a dome topped trunk.

Yeah, yeah.

So, if it's flat... You could make it into a little coffee table or something.

Coffee table or whatever.

So...

So, it's limited use.

Yeah.

It's pretty original, isn't it?

What would this date to?

This date, this is late Georgian, I'd think.

Probably... "18th century".

Yeah, it's probably about 1780-1790.

Wow.

But, what's lovely is this color of this leather.

Yeah, it is, isn't it gorgeous?

PHIL: And stunning decoration.

ANNEKA: Yeah.

PHIL: I'll just lift it up and see what condition the leather is like.

What's that like?

VO: Looks a bit worn to me.

Ticket price £160.

Let's call over Briony.

Briony!

Briony!

Can I just ask you to just cast your eye at the bottom bit as we speak, just to refresh... Me?

Yes, just to refresh your memory.

Yes.

I can see...

Yes.

But it is very old, remember.

So am I.

It's about 150 years old.

It's older than you.

Yeah, we wouldn't want to turn you upside down and look at your rear end.

Yeah, my bottom's gone as well.

Could you get the trunk to around £60 or £70?

No.

You've gone pale.

No.

No.

Bear in mind we would take it away for you.

And we wouldn't charge you any extra costs.

Free of charge.

No, the trunk, it's gotta be 100, I'm sorry.

Could you tick a bit under 100 at all?

Could you do 90 for us?

I can do 90, yes.

VO: Excellent, and with a full trunk of their own they are ready for auction.

Just in time, Liz and James have arrived.

Hello.

Oh, here.

Look.

Hello, hello.

Oh, I've missed you.

How's it all gone?

Yes, very good day.

You?

Well, we're done.

JAMES: No!

PHIL: We're shopped out.

We were getting slightly worried...

I thought there was a certain smugness.

Yeah, I feel that.

No, not smug, just relaxed.

Really?

This is relaxed.

We're just like...

It is, yeah.

We're chilled, we're chilled.

I imagine we'll look like that in a few hours.

But not yet.

Yeah, you, you two could look like us very shortly.

And you're gonna need to cuz they're closing soon.

They're closing in about 20 minutes.

Right.

Supermarket sweep.

LIZ: Yeah, very much so.

ANNEKA: Go!

I'm gonna go.

JAMES: Go on.

ANNEKA: Good luck.

OK. Bye bye.

VO: They're working against the clock, so are going to divide and conquer.

Anneka and Phil are sticking around to help.

OK, the spittoon.

Yes?

The spittoon's over here.

Is that a spittoon?

I... What do you think it is?

I don't know.

Is it some sort of urinal?

LIZ: (LAUGHS) I don't think...

I'm going down a slight theme.

It's got a tap.

D'you know what I think it is?

I think it's a hairdresser's thing.

No.

So it's you know, for that moment where we...

I would just lean back.

I'm doing a demo.

Right, am I leaning back?

Oh, it's actually rather good.

Oh, that's quite nice.

Oh, look.

I could do your hair.

You could do that sort of head massage thing.

Yeah, but honestly, it's quite a good height for you.

It's really quite accessible as well.

I think I do want this now.

How did you pass this up?

I thought it was a urinal.

Yeah I thought it was a spittoon and I still wanted it.

VO: How are the boys getting on?

I wanted you to look at this.

It's well painted.

I know it can't be terribly old.

Um, but I think it has a bit of age.

You wouldn't smash something like that so much, would you?

I would think it's somewhere between your age and my age.

D'you think so?

And we won't tell anybody how old that is.

No, no.

Well... Well, how much... No, it's considerable.

VO: I bet, so they like it.

But there must be a catch.

Jane?

I've just made a phonecall, and their best price would be £140.

£140?

I tell you what, it's got real bang.

And I'm going to show this to Liz.

Really?

The thing is, James, at that sort of money, it's a bit like that.

I think it's a little dear.

(LAUGHS) VO: Oh, dear.

But what will Liz make of it?

It's just very male, isn't it?

Do you think so?

I do.

140 quid.

LIZ: Yeah, no.

Not happening.

JAMES: OK.

I think I know the two things I want.

OK. Lead on.

It's a barber's chair with a hair washing unit.

So, you just fill it up there with hot water?

And your head, your head goes... Had back, and then... Yeah.

I love it.

Do you love that?

I really... Well, and it, and it comes with that, so that goes behind it.

But how much?

VO: There's a price of £180 for the barber's bowl and chair.

Seems to be a lot of money.

Yeah, but we've got a lot of money, and I think we can bargain them down.

Do you?

Absolutely.

VO: That's the spirit Liz.

Anything else?

Look, James.

So, what, what, what are we looking... Have you ever seen The Sound of Music?

When they do the puppet show?

I have, yeah.

With the puppets set?

The lonely... the lonely goatherd.

Lonely goatherd.

This is a little puppet theater.

Isn't that sweet?

And I love it.

And it's genuine, isn't it?

Is it?

What can you tell me about it?

It's the right sort of age, isn't it?

Probably pre-war.

I think it's 20s or 30s.

OK, stuck with me as I've been going round, it would be this or the fish.

And I just think... JAMES: £99, though.

LIZ: Yes.

So, you like this, the chair and the bowl?

Yeah.

That's it.

It's about price now.

OK. Let's go and see Jane.

Let's see what we can do.

The puppet theater we can do for 75.

OK. And the chair and the basin, we can do for 120.

Don't look at me like that, Liz.

We've got the money.

Jane, do you think... Could they be separated?

They could, I think.

His best price on just the basin would be £70.

Love it.

So, 145?

145.

It's been a pleasure.

Nice doing business with you.

VO: So, the chair stays, Jane's found the puppets for the theater and Liz has her final two lots for auction.

Hurrah!

Has this road trip been what you were expecting?

I think it's been even better.

Really?

Yeah, cuz I've loved your company, Phil.

Darling, you're an angel.

VO: How lovely.

Sweet dreams!

VO: Wakey wakey!

The big day is here.

Their black cab, now with cabbie, has motored into the Royal Borough of Greenwich, London.

I landed a helicopter there, once.

Did you?

That's how I know everywhere in Britain.

I've done there.

I've done a helicopter... Just places of helicopters.

VO: After starting in Warwickshire Liz and Anneka have shopped their way round the Midlands and are now headed for auction in Greenwich.

VO: On the banks of the Thames, Greenwich is the centre of world time and home to a world heritage site.

But today its top attraction has to be Greenwich Auctions, where our four will be reuniting.

Here we go.

Here are our lovely ladies.

Are they here?

There are our boys.

Are they here?

ANNEKA: Hello.

JAMES: Hello.

LIZ: Thank you very much.

I reckon it's auction room here we come.

ANNEKA: Yeah.

PHIL: Onward, onward, onward.

(GAVEL) VO: Anneka and Phil spent £225 on five lots including this 1930s trolley basket.

Phil loves all these industrial, sort of baskets.

It's a trolley.

I kind of wanna get in there and you to push me.

Yeah.

(LAUGHS) It's...

Anything on wheels makes me excited, to be honest.

VO: Liz and James also had five lots which cost them £289.

One of the most expensive items was this 1930s puppet theater.

Puppet theater.

Oh, look, and they've brought the puppets along.

Well, I'm not sure that is the way to do it.

I think if you want to indulge your children, that's a big indulgence for 75 quid, isn't it?

Yeah.

Cuz, you could actually knock something like that up at home quite... Yeah, well I think someone has.

(LAUGHS) VO: The man with the noisy gavel today is Robert Dodd.

Thoughts please sir!

Selling at 1,000... (GAVEL) The barber's bowl, to me, is a fabulous piece.

Where are you gonna find another one?

The ammunition boxes, and the galvanized items, they're the sort of items I love to have in an auction.

The wackier the better, sometimes.

What people are gonna use them for, I don't know.

I can see them doing alright.

VO: Let's see shall we, Robert's selling to bidding in the room, online and on the dog and bone.

That's phone.

Get it?

Ah.

Now, this is exciting.

VO: OK, first up is Liz's microscope.

This is Clarissa, this is for Clarissa.

(LAUGHS) You should've signed it, "with best wishes, Clarissa".

Bid with me of £30 on this.

I'm looking for 32 anywhere.

32.

Five with me.

38, £40 here.

Looking for 42 anywhere.

Are we all done at £40?

Are you absolutely sure?

No!

Eight, I'm out.

£48 then.

Standing in the room.

Looking for 50.

Well done, well done.

Selling this at £48.

(GAVEL) VO: Oh dear, not the start they were hoping for.

This is much more about the journey, rather than the destination.

Yeah.

But at this rate we will never get there, Phil.

VO: Next up, it's Anneka's ammunition boxes with watering can and bowl.

I'm nervous for farmer John, now.

I'm very...

I feel sick.

..no, he'll do good.

It's £25.

Bid with me, straight in at £25 on this lot.

Looking for 28.

Hello?

Anyone out there?

The metal scraps for that.

Oh 28 on the internet, £30 here.

Yes!

Looking for £32, on the net, 35 here.

Looking for 38.

£38 on the internet.

Get in, Anneka.

Looking for 40.

I'm out.

I'm selling this at £38.

Very good.

(GAVEL) VO: Hurrah a small profit for the farm finds!

Well done.

LIZ: Well done.

PHIL: Yeah.

Give them a round of applause, go on.

It's just the way we roll, isn't it?

(APPLAUSE) VO: And the crowd's gone wild!

Time for Liz's nibbles dish.

Will she get a bite on this?

It's kitsch.

Yeah, it's kitsch.

PHIL: Do people nibble anymore?

ANNEKA: Yes!

Oh, yes.

Nibbles have come back.

I'm a large nibbler.

I've gotta start with a bid with me of...£5.

Oh, I thought he'd say 50!

Wey-hey.

Yeah.

Eight, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, two, I'm out.

£22 I've got, looking for 25.

We're in profit.

Go on... At £22.

(GAVEL) £3!

Yes!

Get in.

VO: At least they're cheery.

A small profit.

I think the way forward is nibbles, isn't it, really?

Yeah.

VO: On to Anneka's 1930s trolley basket.

This is our very favorite lot, isn't it?

Oh, I long to own this lot myself.

Gotta start with a bid with me, straight in of only £45, on this.

Get in, Anneka.

55, it's on the internet.

I'm out.

60, are we all done?

It's just a little smidge of a loss, this.

On the internet.

Last time at £55 on an old laundry basket.

(GAVEL) VO: Oh, shame you couldn't have a bid yourself Anneka.

Well... 55.

You pleased with that?

Disappointed.

VO: Never mind.

Now the focus is on Liz's crotal bells.

I'm quite...

I'm actually moving to the edge of my seat.

Is that excitement, or...

Fear.

PHIL: Oh, right.

LIZ: Fear.

These have got to start with a bid with me at £25 on these.

Oh.

Straight in there.

I've got...

I'm looking for 28... Hello?

Hello, anyone out there?

They're stunned.

Looking for 28 on the crotel bells.

JAMES: Crotel!

ANNEKA: Crot-el, cro-tel.

Here we go.

28, 20, two, five.

Eight, 40, two, I'm out.

Hello.

Anyone out there again?

LIZ: Come on, make 50.

JAMES: Go on.

42, looking for 45, cro-tel bells.

At only £42.

It's a bargain.

At £42.

(GAVEL) VO: Another loss for Liz, but not drastic.

Wey hey... Do you know what, I'm amazed.

VO: Half way there, and Anneka's vintage scales are up next.

They're nice.

I like the chrome.

I like the enamel.

ANNEKA: Yeah.

PHIL: They're sort of...

Beautifully made.

You could have them on a sideboard.

Cuz in your house obviously, you're gonna have a lot of space for sideboards and things, aren't you?

Yeah, we do.

We live in the country.

They live in the country.

They'd fill my flat.

Yeah, actually, he owns the country.

I'm gonna start with a bid with me of £5 only.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Close your mouth, Philip.

I've got, oh, 12, 18, 22, here we go, 25.

JAMES: Oh, well done.

28 on the internet, £30 on the net, looking for two.

35 on the internet, looking for 38.

Get in!

He's coming round the bend, he's... Go on, go on!

35, looking for 38.

Go on!

Selling this lot then at £40.

(GAVEL) VO: It's the small victories that count.

It's over 10%.

I don't like your friend very much.

(LAUGHS) VO: Up for show now is Liz's 1930s puppet theater.

I love this.

It's my theatrical background.

And we've got some puppets as well.

£35 on this.

Looking for 38.

38, 40, two, five, eight, 50, five, I'm out.

£55 standing.

I've got 55.

£60 at the back.

60.

65, sir?

65, five I've got...

Think of The Sound of Music.

Standing at £65.

(GAVEL) VO: Oh dear.

Not the performance they were hoping for.

Loss, small loss.

Oh, is it?

But I don't care.

It's...

But the joy, the joy...

I think we got away with it, didn't we?

VO: Nearly did, James.

Moving on.

Next, Anneka and Phil's table.

Lovely little table this, a lot of age to it.

Yeah, a lot of age, lot of age.

That's a good phrase.

Like you, Phil.

Like you!

Well, it's gotta start, £10, looking for 12.

12 at the back of the room, looking for 15.

You're already in profit.

12, and £15.

18, the back of the room, looking for 20.

Are you sure?

At only £20 on the internet.

(GAVEL) VO: Well done.

They are definitely in the lead here.

But it's profit.

JAMES: Profit.

VO: Now, the auctioneer's favorite.

Liz's last lot.

Any barbers in the house?

I feel invested in this, because we bonded over it.

Anneka, did you help buy this?

LIZ: She sort of did.

ANNEKA: Yeah.

PHIL: Really?

ANNEKA: It was totally my fault.

LIZ: We had quite a moment.

ANNEKA: We had a moment.

If it makes a profit, it's you.

Yeah.

Straight in at only £55 on this.

Looking for 60.

£60 on the telephone.

65 here with me.

Come on.

75 with me, looking for 80.

LIZ: Thanks, Anneka.

AUCTIONEER: £85.

Yes!

Sorry.

(LAUGHS) Anneka, that's not us!

I know, but I'm just invested in this.

95 on the wall, looking for 100.

Oh I am so happy.

£100, I need.

£100, that's cheap.

110, I've got.

Well, Anneka...

I knew it.

So, it's me against three of them.

120 on the telephone, 130 I want.

I've got, on the telephone, on an old hair washing bowl... (LAUGHS) At £120.

JAMES: Hair washing bowl!

(GAVEL) ANNEKA: Oh!

Give 'em a round of applause.

(APPLAUSE) Oh, I'm so happy.

Thank you very...

I'm sorry, Phil.

VO: A fantastic profit.

Has that put Liz in the lead?

Anneka, just one question.

Yes?

Why didn't we buy it?

VO: A very good question!

What you did buy though was this.

Your last lot.

This is a proper antique, isn't it?

It's a nice trunk.

We'll start with a bid with me of only £42 on that.

42.

Looking for 45, 48, 50.

Five, 60, five, 70, five, 80, five, 90.

I'm out.

LIZ: (LAUGHS) Looking for 95.

Got 95 there.

Seated.

100 I need.

I'll take 98 if it helps.

Yes?

Go on.

98 there.

Take 100, sir.

At £100 only.

Thank you very much.

(GAVEL) Well done.

Give 'em a round of applause.

(APPLAUSE) Well, at least it... Well done, Phil.

Well done.

VO: Ha ha!

Their biggest purchase and it made a small profit.

Right, let's go and see who's won.

Come on, let's go.

We survived.

VO: This is gonna be close.

Time for the sums.

VO: Liz and James began with £400 and after auction fees made a loss of £45.46.

Leaving a total sum of £354.54.

(GAVEL) VO: Anneka and Phil, who started with the same sum, also made a loss after auction fees.

Their final sum is £382.46.

And as they lost the least they are today's winners, hurrah!

ANNEKA: What a blast.

LIZ: Thank you.

It's been...

It was a blast.

PHIL: We've loved your company.

LIZ: Likewise.

..a completely mad two or three days.

LIZ: What an experience.

ANNEKA: What an experience!

VO: Time to go.

Taxi!

Goodbye, sir.

PHIL: Bye.

JAMES: Bye.

LIZ: Bye!

ANNEKA: Bye!

VO: Some final thoughts, girls?

ANNEKA: It's like a sort of blur.

We haven't got a career in antiques.

The whole thing has exceeded everything I imagined.

It's been really great fun.

VO: Cheerio, you two.
