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.
Woo-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: Yee-ha!
MUSIC: "Venus" by Bananarama VO: Ha!
Prepare yourself.
We've only gone and got a couple of pop smashers from the '80s!
Bananarama's Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward.
Oof.
And we're off.
Our road trip.
How exciting.
Very exciting.
Beautiful Chilterns.
How's the car?
The car takes some getting used to, but I've got a high boot on, and I should have put the flat pump.
Should have put your driving shoes on.
Should have done a lot of things, Kez.
(LAUGHS) VO: The girls have been best friends since the age of four, and became Bananarama in 1981.
Do you know as much as I do about antiques?
I think I've got a very good eye, but that will just be for things I like.
Cuz I know nothing.
Apparently you're supposed... Only buy glass that's pre-war.
Are you?
Ooh, someone has been revising.
MUSIC "Karma Chameleon" by Culture Club VO: Ooh.
In keeping with the '80s feel, we have the super swish Jaguar XJS.
In tomato red.
Nice.
(MAKE SCREECHING NOISE) KEZ: Easy, girl.
They've got us really hunched.
Yes, you are, you're driving like that.
Yes.
Like an old lady.
That's not how you normally drive.
I've only just got into the car, so...
I'm getting the measure of it, Kez.
Yeah.
Relax.
VO: Bananarama, the biggest chart-topping girl group of the 80s, are primed and ready for their antiques adventure.
MUSIC: "Love in the First Degree" by Bananarama SARA: You'll be buying Georgian wardrobes, won't you?
That's what you like, isn't it?
No.
When did I ever buy a Georgian wardrobe?
I don't think we'll have enough money for a Georgian wardrobe, to be honest.
I don't think they're as expensive now, apparently.
VO: Talking of money, there's a kitty of £400 each.
C'mon buddy, c'mon!
VO: Mmm, they're revved up!
VO: Now, Charles Hanson and David Harper will be their road trip knights in shining armor.
MUSIC: "Mah Na Mah Na" by Piero Umiliani Hello!
Aww.
Bananarama.
Bananarama!
I can't believe it, David.
It could be slippy.
And they're gorgeous girls as well.
You know, gorgeous girls, I hope we can be the suitors to match for them.
Do they scare you, Charles?
David, they are rock 'n' roll.
So do they scare you?
Yes, a bit.
(THEY LAUGH) MUSIC: "Robert De Niro's Waiting" by Bananarama VO: Cor, you're a big girl's blouse.
The gents have the rather matronly Rover P4 from 1961, manufactured at a time when seatbelts were not mandatory.
Which is why they are not wearing any.
Seatbelts, that is.
Think 1981, how old were you in '81, David?
'81, I was 14.
I was four years.
'78 to '89.
Ooh, sorry David.
I was... A good bit of driving.
I was 81 years... You were 81?
You're looking really good, Charles, I gotta say.
VO: He certainly is.
So who've you got?
We'll see, won't we?
When we arrive.
VO: Indeed you will.
The fellas are primed and ready.
The song that takes me right back to the period is Robert De Niro's Waiting.
That was... And we're waiting.
That's it.
Just like Robert De Niro was waiting.
David, that is a perfect link.
And that's a Bananarama song.
That is the perfect link, honestly.
We're waiting like Robert De Niro.
You're brilliant.
(CAR HORN) There they are.
SARA: Woo!
DAVID: Couldn't be any better!
Hello!
Here we are!
Doesn't Charles look dapper?
Oh my gosh, I can't believe it.
DAVID: Hello, good morning.
The perfect vehicle for you two.
CHARLES: How are you?
It's lovely to... Bananarama.
I can't believe this is happening to me.
VO: Yeah.
Try and be cool, David!
Kisses and cuddles all round, lovely.
It is coupling up already.
Yeah well look, I think it's a good combo.
I mean, I must admit, you know, that yeah...
I've got the memo.
Well I think that's it then.
I think you're in the Jag, we'll take the Rover.
Fancy a ride?
Hop in.
KEZ: Please, darling.
CHARLIE: See you later!
DAVID: Alright, shall I drive?
SARA: Yeah.
DAVID: Right.
SARA: Sure.
DAVID: Well good luck, you two.
SARA: Good luck you two.
VO: Shame about those shorts.
KEZ: Woo!
SARA: Help!
VO: Let's get cracking, gang!
DAVID: You've been a popstar for 36 years!
I know, that is... That's ridiculous!
I know.
And I feel so lucky that in the '80s it kind of went global, so we can now still tour all over the world.
And it's such a lovely life, and I feel really blessed to be able to do that.
CHARLES: I wanna take you back.
I want to take you back to maybe some Tudor history, some maybe Georgian romance.
Yes.
The art deco times.
I'm up for both history and romance.
We can flap, we can... We can dance.
We can dance.
We can sing.
CHARLES: We can make some memories.
VO: While they get into the swing of it, let's take a look at our route.
We'll kick off in Hertfordshire, gallop across the Chilterns, and aim for Leicestershire and an auction in Broughton Astley.
First stop, Rickmansworth.
We're going to try our luck in here, hopefully by not driving through the window, Charles.
Oh gosh.
Wow.
After you.
Thank you.
There you go.
VO: He's such a smoothie.
VO: With an absolute stash of goodies inside, what will Keren find to tempt her?
Anything jumping out at you?
That.
Not.
That's horrible.
CHARLES: Don't you like that?
KEZ: No.
If you were seriously waking up in the morning, and you had a glass of milk poured onto your cereal, wouldn't that give you a smile?
Jovial good morning?
KEZ: No.
CHARLES: Wakey wakey.
No.
It's colorful, it's cheery.
Yeah, it's not what I want in the mornings.
OK.
I think it's quite...it's quite amusing.
I think it's quite decorative.
Probably a 1930s cockerel.
I quite like '30s stuff though, I quite like that period.
Exactly.
The 1930s, all that humor, and just, cheerful colors in between the war years.
Yes.
Then we have a problem.
Exactly.
Get out of here.
(LAUGHS) Get out of here.
VO: Let's leave Keren to rummage, and zip over to Sara.
She has arrived in the town of Wendover just at the foot of the glorious Chilterns.
DAVID: So is this the first time that the team has been broken?
(LAUGHING) Yes.
Oh my gosh!
What is gonna happen?
It's the end of Bananarama!
I will secretly say that I'd like to win.
I don't really know how you go about that, but I've heard you're really really good.
Really?
So I'm pinning all my hopes on you.
Oh, don't.
VO: Antiques at Wendover, here we come.
Nice stag.
Go on, let's get in a nice, cool antiques shop, shall we?
Yeah, let's.
VO: Sara has money to spend.
£400, to be precise.
This is your first shop, so...
It is, Mr Harper.
It is, it is.
Let's go.
So this is where I discover what you really like.
OK.
So, I want you to look with your eyes, and tell me what you like.
OK, and then you'll tell me if it's worth anything...
I will.
..cuz I want to win.
Oh really?
You are getting very competitive now, aren't you?
Yes.
VO: Now, where shall we begin?
Is that a lute?
VO: It is.
SARA: Excuse me... DAVID: (LAUGHS) I love that.
DAVID: Do you?
SARA: Yes.
Can you play it?
SARA: No.
DAVID: Oh.
But let's see how much that is.
Is that 25,000?
No.
No no.
This is not popstar world.
It's £25.
Is that authentic, or do you think that's a...?
Well, it's authentic, it's 20th century.
It's kind of 1950s, something like that.
Oh.
Doesn't get me excited.
That's no good.
I thought it might be from Tudor times.
Sadly not.
VO: While they continue to rootle about, is Keren having any luck parting with any of her £400 kitty?
Do you know, it is quite sumptuous.
Why do you like that?
It's just incredibly delicate, and I really like the gilt and the rich blue, and just thought it was very pretty.
Where was it made?
Any ideas?
No, of course I don't.
If I said to you, the greatest town in the country?
VO: Here we go, from the son of Derby!
The greatest town.
Derby.
Derby.
Thank you very much.
Good answer, and you know a good town.
Oh, I love it.
I mean, just put your finger on that cup and feel the giltwork.
How it's raised over the surface of the porcelain.
Derby, yes.
It's beautiful.
It impresses me.
How old is it?
I would say it would date to around... Oh, there's a date code for 19...30.
In the '30s, you had the art deco.
But for the traditional, noble, affluent home, wanting the very best that porcelain could buy, in a certain tradition, this is it.
On the bottom of the saucer, you've got the Derby crown mark, but you've also got the fact it was retail darling, through Phillips on Mount Street in London, so that there is a retailers.
So a little bit of Mayfair?
Exactly.
So it's Derby to Mayfair, darling.
I think it's great.
There is no price.
Let's go and find out.
Come on.
Perfect.
VO: As things look promising with Keren, what of Sara?
Oh, hello!
First off, I love that little tiny pug.
OK. One moment.
(LAUGHS) Thank you.
Yeah, go on.
Give us the rundown.
They're actually not working.
They need a clean.
(LAUGHS) What are they made of?
What do you think they're made of?
You see, I'm passing it...
Bronze?
Well, brilliant!
Brilliant.
Ooh, look at me.
I know!
Who would want to buy that?
DAVID: Collectors of bronze... SARA: Oh, OK. ..people who love dogs...
Yes, exactly.
We're humans.
We love dogs.
They're our best friends.
Would you go for the small one?
I'd go for the big one.
Would you?
Can we get them out?
Yes.
We need to get 'em out.
See if it's open.
(CLICKS KEY) No, I'll go find someone, because... Don't set the alarms off, David.
Oh, I know.
(LAUGHS) VO: Crumbs, let's get dealer Mike over, eh?
Erm, could be... (ALARM) Oh, goodness.
It's... so the pug doesn't escape.
Um, big pug or little pug?
Shall we go with big pug first?
OK. How does he feel?
SARA: He's heavy... DAVID: Yeah.
He's very detailed.
Yeah.
There was a famous maker of high quality, small, cold-painted little animals made out of bronze, called Franz Bergmann.
OK. Franz Bergmann would mark his pieces with a B, in a little cartouche.
And there's no B there.
So I think they are in the style of Franz Bergmann.
VO: But this old dog is bereft of a B.
Dealer Mike, how much for the two?
The best would be about 200 for the pair.
OK.
Personally, I would just go with them, but I understand this is your first experience, and I have to bow to you, obviously.
I've just stepped in the door.
I'd like to have a look round.
VO: You tell him, girl!
Go and have a mooch.
Mike, Sara would like to talk to you.
Okie-dokes.
What's your best price on the big pug?
On the big pug, absolute death is £115, and that's it.
110?
VO: You're good at this, Sara.
Well done.
Thank you very much.
90, 100... 110, perfect.
VO: The big bronze old dog for £110.
Look at him, eh.
First purchase of the day.
First.
Isn't that wonderful?
He's lovely.
Could he be also a member of Bananarama?
He's gonna make us...make us millionaires.
He could.
And that's my first purchase.
Well done.
Thank you.
VO: Now, is Keren any closer to spending any money?
Ah, they've found dealer Dave.
That's a start.
Hello, David.
KEZ: Hello.
CHARLES: Hello.
What have we got?
Cup and saucer.
We have a cup and saucer which we think is rather pretty.
Royal Crown Derby?
Yeah.
David, there's no label on it, price... Cuz it's priceless.
Exactly.
Like my wing-lady here.
How much?
VO: Charmer.
I will do that for you for £25.
Really?
25.
I mean, just look at it.
It's lavish.
£25...
I think it's worth it.
If I collected, which I'd quite like to collect cups and saucers and bits, I would pay £25 to have that in my collection.
Whilst I'm here, David, what's caught my eye, if you don't mind, madam... No.
..are those three brooches there.
Aren't they nice?
So, just look at them.
I'm fairly sure, David, these are Georgian, or early Victorian, memorial brooches.
And they've got plaits of hair in, of people from the Georgian times.
Do people collect things like that, or is it not just a bit spooky?
D'you know, it's really interesting.
On the market for jewelry at the moment, the most commercially popular sector now is memorial jewelry.
Is it?
Because it's...
I suppose it's memories.
How much are they?
If you're looking at all three... Yeah, go on, all three.
£60 for the three.
Your very best?
To a humble man, and a lady with fantastic hair?
We may...
I'm being serious.
We may be able to get down to 50.
Really?
I mean, it doesn't sound ridiculous... CHARLES: No.
KEZ: ..ridiculous price.
If you think they're collectable.
I mean, I would say it's a yes to the cup and saucer.
Agreed?
Yes.
Shake the man's hand.
£25, we'll take that up the M1.
With your blessing, Keren, I'm gonna shake this man's hand and say we'll take these 1830s wonderful early brooches.
They are memories, and for us, they'll be memories today for auction.
KEZ: OK. DAVE: Pleasure, sir.
Thank you, sir.
That's great.
Thank you.
VO: OK, that's three Georgian brooches and a Royal Crown Derby cup and saucer, and they're all going to go up the M1, for £75.
Into the boot?
These'll get lost in the boot.
VO: Well, bung them in the glove box, then.
You might wrap the china first, oh.
Now are you a big animal lover, Sara?
Yes, I am.
What about horses?
Yes, my sister rode as a child but I didn't, so I kind of rode later.
We've got a bit of time.
For a bit of a treat, we're gonna go and visit some horsies.
How's that sound?
That sounds great, yeah.
VO: We've arrived in the glorious village of Speen in the Buckinghamshire Chilterns, for a peek into the history of the working horse in 19th century Britain.
VO: Passionate about all things equestrian, Jeanette Allen of The Horse Trust can enlighten us further.
Giddy up.
You must be Jeanette?
Hi, David, welcome.
And I think you might recognize Sara.
Sara, I certainly do.
Yes, lots of song lyrics going through my head right now.
(LAUGHS) Go for it!
No no no, no, really, I'll leave that to the professional.
VO: Victorian London was the largest city in the world, and as such relied heavily on a battalion of horses.
As many as 300,000 would keep the wheels turning in the big smoke.
And the most famous cab horse was a 50 million best seller.
Black Beauty was really groundbreaking when it was written, because it's written as an autobiography of a horse, it's written in the first person from Black Beauty's perspective, and the various different homes that he goes to, and the various jobs that he has to do.
And one of those jobs is a London cab horse, and that really did inspire our founder, Ann Lindo, to help specifically London cab horses.
VO: Black Beauty's treacherous time owned by a London cabbie was a reality for many.
It highlighted the jostling exhaustion of over 40,000 cab horses pounding the city's cobbles day and night.
But instead of just feeling it was sad, she decided to do something very practical.
And she got together some wealthy friends, and they created what was then called the Home of Rest for Horses.
And it was very practical.
It understood the difference between cruelty and poverty.
It was there to help London's poor, as much as it was to help the horses.
VO: A healthy horse would be loaned until the overworked horse had bounced back to vitality.
And about three months usually was the average, you'd be able to swap the horses back.
VO: When World War I began, over six million horses played a role, over a million being used within the British Army alone.
The charity became a refuge for the lucky ones that survived.
Probably our favorite one is Roger, who was found wandering riderless on the Somme battlefield.
He was a German officer's charger, in fact, and a British officer spied him and thought "ooh, I like that."
And went and got him, and he rode him for the rest of the war.
And they became so bonded that that officer paid for him to come back to the UK, and then paid for him to stay with us for the rest of his life.
VO: In Anna Sewell's novel, Black Beauty escaped wretched exhaustion working in London and lived happily ever after in the country.
Let's meet one of the residents enjoying his retirement.
OK, so this is Romulus.
And he served for eight years as a police horse with Thames Valley mounted section.
He's very special, though.
He's actually got two chief constable commendations for bravery.
DAVID: Wow!
SARA: Oh my gosh.
Doing what?
Do you know what it was for?
Yeah.
Riots.
Riots.
So dealing with protestors throwing objects at him and his rider.
I can't get over the size of the feet!
(LAUGHS) You don't want that standing on you.
No, I can promise you.
He weighs... How much does he weigh?
Probably about 850, 900kg.
So I was wondering if maybe you guys would like to swap your Jag for something a little bit more traditional.
What do you think?
Yes please.
I think so.
Lovely Star will be taking you for a little drive.
So do we just leap on the back?
So hop on up, yeah.
After you, Sara.
Thank you.
Very nice.
It's got some suspension as well.
(LAUGHS) Take us to the local pub.
(LAUGHS) We're not currently married, are we?
This is slightly... (LAUGHS) VO: Inspired by Anna Sewell's novel, Ann Lindo set out to safeguard the welfare of horses and to give them the sanctuary they deserved.
VO: In the words of Black Beauty, My troubles are all over and I'm at home, standing with my old friends under the apple trees .
How lovely.
VO: Now, where art thou, Keren and Charles?
So we've got left, how much?
325.
225.
No, we had...
Didn't we start with 400?
£400 we started with.
So we've got 325 left.
225.
We spent 75.
Oh, sorry, you're right.
Sorry, my dad's, yes, my dad's an accountant.
VO: Didn't rub off on you, then.
No, we can't stall.
Oh no, we've gotta get... Oh, gosh.
Sorry.
(LAUGHS) It's OK. (LAUGHS) Sorry.
VO: Charles!
VO: We're off to the fair city of St Albans in Hertfordshire.
VO: And we're going in here - Three Wise Monkeys Vintage and Arts Emporium.
D'you know, it feels very sleepy round here.
It does, doesn't it?
VO: Don't get too relaxed, there are antiques to be bought!
Blimey, that's not David's legs in there is it?
Cor, huge, look.
Over 3,000 square feet of all sorts to tickle the old fancy.
Come on Charles, dazzle us with your expertise.
"Hello.
What's your name?"
It is a nutcracker.
Why don't you have a feel of that.
Oh, it's really heavy, isn't it?
So it's...it's...it's a bronzed based metal, and we'll...
Put your finger in and see if it works.
Ow!
Ow!
Yes it did.
Thanks a lot!
VO: Whoops.
Look over here.
Now that's a terrier isn't it?
VO: No it's not.
No.
It's called Cheerful.
Look.
Ready?
Hold on.
VO: Could be a Dachshund.
(COGS WHIRRING) VO: Look at that.
(DOG SQUEAKS) VO: He likes you, Charles.
Yeah, I quite like it.
You're not kidding?
He walks forward, shakes a head.
It goes right and left, it wags its tail, it yelps, its mouth opens... And in this day and age, who would want that?
It's what you call a Japanese battery-operated, probably 1970s toy.
And the Japanese market for battery-operated toys is improving all the time.
(COGS WHIRRING) No, I quite like it.
Because to me, it captures the essence of a decade.
Doesn't it to you?
Well, I was around in that decade, and it doesn't capture it for me.
Did you have one when you were young?
No.
VO: Well, the auction's online, Keren.
And it will reach a global audience.
£40.
And to me, this is the collectable of the future.
But look into his eyes now.
Doesn't he say to you "take me to Leicester?"
"Take me to auction."
You know... (SQUEAKS) VO: That's more like a mouse.
(LAUGHS) God, you really are barking.
I suppose dogs are the nation's best friend, aren't they?
Yeah, real ones.
VO: Let's keep looking, shall we?
They're nice.
Pretty.
But do you know what, they are very nice.
OK, the label says Turner and Simpson, Birmingham, 1948, silver and enamel teaspoons.
And are they collectable, teaspoons?
Yeah, they are.
These were made, what, just three years after the end of World War II.
VO: British silversmiths, Turner and Simpson, were popular in the 20th century and would create luxury goods from candlesticks to clocks.
Made in Birmingham.
They carry a line mark to confirm they're sterling silver.
OK. 92.5% sterling.
VO: They're priced at £65.
I feel as though we're getting closer towards a purchase.
Mmm.
Well, we can always go and ask and see what we can get them for.
Good.
VO: Dealer Steve is the man to talk money with.
Steve?
We found these very pretty spoons.
They are, aren't they?
We just wondered if there was much room for negotiation.
Because we just, simply, they're stylish, and they define...
They are.
They're elegant.
If you could do the big four oh, if there's a margin...
I can't go to the big four oh.
45?
45, we can do.
Wow.
I think that's very generous.
That's £20 off the asking price.
There's a dog downstairs, Steve.
You might know the one, with the red Japanese plastic casing.
We could buy the two.
I don't want to leave with...
The dog?
We can put it in the back in a seat.
We can just pretend it's a real dog and just say "oh, hello dog, are you OK?"
Stroke it.
VO: Think you might be pushing it a bit here, Charles.
Can I go out and get the dog for you now, see it very quickly, and show you it?
Yeah, by all means.
OK, ready?
I'm going downstairs.
You go and get it.
VO: Remember, the pooch was priced at £40.
Talk amongst yourselves, viewers.
I can hear it already.
Watch.
(DOG SQUEAKS) I don't know what to say.
I think we'll have to take it, won't we?
Well listen, you can always blame me at auction.
And do you know what?
We have to stick together regardless.
And there's fever at auction, there's emotion, there's drama.
And I kid you not, these two will give us the ultimate drama.
I think we're going to take them both, she said through gritted teeth.
Look at me.
Are you happy?
Yes, I'm thrilled.
Thanks for coming.
Yes!
We'll do it!
We'll take them both, so 45 and 40, it's £85.
Good stuff.
I'm sure you won't lose.
Really, I don't want to go through this tomorrow again.
VO: D'you know, you're right!
That dramatic buy brings us to the end of the shopping for today.
Completely barking.
CHARLES: So hopefully tomorrow, I won't drive you round the bend.
KEZ: No, of course you won't.
Hope not.
Although I will point out that you don't have to look at me when you're talking to me, cuz I can hear you.
Well I like looking at you.
Well you should be looking at the road.
Sorry?
Look at me.
(LAUGHS) Look at me.
So what shall we do tonight?
Pop back to a nice country pub, and have a glass of sauvignon or a gin and tonic.
VO: Sounds like the ticket.
Also, have a glorious rest.
Sleep tight.
VO: Good morning!
Our super cool gals are refreshed and on the move once more.
See I normally would be driving my Jag, but due to the inappropriate footwear, I've allowed you to have a go.
How are you finding it?
It's very kind of you.
It's the only car I've ever wanted that I've never owned, a Jag.
CHARLES: Don't forget, these girls, they are so important in the history of pop, and what they achieved in their top 50 hits, by numbers over the '80s, over the '90s.
David, they are mega hits.
We need to be their number ones.
Come on, David!
Come on!
Let's get on stage talk.
Pump it up!
VO: Settle down, David.
VO: While the boys wait for the girls... David, you know what?
So many ladies like little handbag dogs.
Handbag dogs, yeah.
And just the love for this dog was very much caught when I did this... (COGS WHIRRING) Go on.
I think he's an absolute abomination of a creature.
I love dogs.
I love dogs, real ones, nice ones.
I've got a dog.
But look at his face, watch.
(DOG SQUEAKS) David, look.
VO: You big meanie, David.
CHARLES: Good morning, ladies!
Good morning.
Good morning.
Oh, I thought she was gonna leave us.
(LAUGHS) Keren, when you saw the dog, you were deciding to drive off, were you?
I was tempted!
La da da!
VO: Alright, Charles!
Thank you, darling.
Do a little spin.
You look beautiful, I love your dress.
Stunning.
Wow!
Keren, I'm intrigued to know how you feel about the dog.
I have to say initially, absolutely anti-dog.
Right.
Once I actually held it and felt its little paws working, it was quite sweet.
Look look look.
Now look, he's... Cocked his leg there.
He's cocking his leg.
No you can't go to Sara, you're staying with us, OK?
Happy, he's happy.
What else have you got?
This is our throwback.
These are 1948, Birmingham hallmarked, coming out of World War II, they are our escape to victory.
Sir, what do you pay for them?
30 quid.
Sara, what about you?
I don't know, about 75.
Thank you very much.
How much?
This lady has taste, David.
(LAUGHS) How much?
£45.
45.
Bang in the middle.
Alright, fair enough.
Yes, they are silver.
Solid, solid silver.
In their original case, as well.
OK, well Sara, I think we should show them what a dog really should look like.
Keren... CHARLES: Oh, that's cute.
KEZ: (GASPS) CHARLES: Is it a pug?
DAVID: It is a pug.
SARA: Yes!
CHARLES: It's a pug.
It's a cold-painted bronze pug, late 19th century.
It's really heavy.
It's all about the weight.
SARA: That's the keyword.
CHARLES: Is it heavy?
KEZ: It's really heavy.
That's light.
It's all about the weight, Charles.
There's no weight there.
(LAUGHS) Actually, that's...
I think it's heavier than this one.
(LAUGHS) Oh you are a pain actually.
I don't like you very much now.
VO: While they get motoring, here's a reminder of what else they bought.
VO: From her £400, Keren also bought the Royal Crown Derby cup and saucer, and the three Georgian brooches for £75.
You really are barking.
VO: True.
Keren has £240 to spend today.
As we know, Sara has just one solitary item, the lovely little old dog.
Brilliant!
Look at me.
I know!
VO: She has a big wodge of £290 to play with.
Will that dog run and make a profit?
That could just become a stranded rescue dog needing some help, and I hope that's the case.
And what did you think of their dreadful choices, by the way?
(LAUGHS) You're very mean.
I know!
I think the response from the losing team, particularly from Hanson, was pretty good on the pug.
It was, wasn't it?
Yeah, he liked that.
He knows a good pug when he sees one.
Keren liked it.
I knew she would.
VO: The Buckinghamshire town of Milton Keynes is this morning's choice destination for all of the gang.
This could be trouble.
CHARLES: I mean, it's amazing.
From the royal wedding of '81, and Bananarama, and now.
The journey's been magnificent, and it's just kept on going.
What's been the secret?
Well, I mean the '80s were obviously the most successful period in record sales.
And they were brilliant fun, but exhausting as well.
I mean, it was just a relentless, sort of travelling round the world, and not really putting your feet on the ground at all.
I almost prefer what I do now.
You form a group because you like singing and performing, and writing songs, and all that stuff.
And then in the '80s, you barely got to do it.
MUSIC: "Jump (For my Love)" by The Pointer Sisters VO: Our pair are going for a good old nose in here.
Come on!
The sun is shining.
VO: Charles.
He's like a human bit of spaghetti.
Oh, I say, I love it.
VO: Certainly does.
VO: Keren and Charles have £240 left.
Now that's a lot.
Oh.
VO: Carlos, be careful!
Sorry about that.
Oops.
Help.
Help quick.
Look, just put it straight.
Shh.
Sorry about that.
Hold on.
Quick.
VO: Oh, Charles.
You're such a whirling dervish!
I'll just stay here for the moment.
There we go teddy bear, if I leave you there... OK look, I'll see you later.
Shall I just sit down and wait?
Look, I'll get my hat.
Just... Bye!
Bye.
VO: Oh dear!
Our other set of road trip buddies are here.
VO: Sara has a gigantic £290 weighing down her handbag, and it seems she's wasting no time.
Let's see what they can demolish.
Right, so we need the key to 39A.
Hello, can we have the key please?
Yep, no problem.
Is this what we think it might be, Clive?
It's pre-Columbian as far as I know.
It's lovely isn't it?
Pre-1492.
So just, seriously for a moment...
I really like that.
Just get into the moment, and think about how old that actually is.
How many centuries that has seen.
Yep.
Just for the moment.
I'm thinking.
(LAUGHS) I want you to feel the experience of the antique... Clive, she's got not passion has she?
No passion at all.
I mean, that's the second one I've ever had...
I spotted it.
..in 40 years.
I know.
40 years, this man's been searching for pre-Columbian.
Sara sees it, not really that interested.
No.
VO: The term pre-Columbian refers to the period in the Americas before the arrival of old Christopher Columbus in 1492, when he sailed the ocean blue.
However, the antiquity market is risky.
There are a lot of copies...and fakes.
So we like that, don't we?
It's got a good history.
We do.
Yeah.
Don't drop it.
It's all about the money with this one, by the way.
I know.
She just, she wants to win this...this...this competition so badly, she's thinking "yeah, so what, it's 600 years old.
"Can we make some profit out of it?"
Let's be honest, that's what you're thinking.
Well, I was drawn to it cuz it's beautiful.
You're thinking about the profit aren't you?
Yes.
(LAUGHS) Aren't we all?
How much can it be, Clive?
How much is on it?
100.
£80.
Are you...are you drawn to the Columbian pot?
I think so.
VO: While they ponder... What about this fan?
It's really pretty.
It's nice.
Victorian.
Yeah, look at that.
So that is... On the label it says a Victorian fan.
But it doesn't even look used.
CHARLES: No.
KEZ: Does it?
CHARLES: Isn't that wonderful?
Take it out.
KEZ: Yeah.
KEZ: That is lovely.
Yes, I don't want to go too hard in case I break it.
How does it feel?
When you fan, that's how a Victorian lady...
I feel very ladylike.
..fanned.
And you are very elegant in the way you do it.
This fan, I suppose, is 1895, 1885.
A gorgeous object.
This is ostrich feather around the outer edge, very very soft feathering.
I love the little, almost glass beads to create... And the detail in the middle of the flowers.
..the stamens.
I think it's really pretty.
On a really serious note, I think you've hit on something that's quite good.
Mmm.
Honestly.
It's a remarkable survivor.
It's in nice condition.
And what's the ticket price?
Have a guess.
I would probably think... What would you sell it for, about 50?
Yeah, it's priced at £80.
Priced at 80, but I've never come across one before... Haven't you?
..in such good condition.
Well I was very taken with it.
VO: Fan-tastic!
Who writes this stuff?
OK, one to think about, eh?
Are you really hot?
Yes.
Well look, I'll blow some smoke on you.
There you go.
How does that feel?
There you go.
Oh!
Sorry.
Some soot's come out, sorry!
A bit of soot.
VO: Oh dear!
Hello, you two.
(LAUGHS) We're just, we're keeping cool, OK?
You've got soot in your hair.
I'm ever so hot, yes.
How are you doing?
What have you got?
Erm...
I'm not telling you.
You guys should be under pressure.
You should be feeling restless.
Well we've seen some of yours, so we're not really feeling that much pressure.
DAVID: Yeah.
SARA: The dog.
We're feeling pretty cool.
You're confident with your dog?
Yeah.
It's a bronze.
It's cold water bronze.
Cold water?
Sorry, sorry.
Isn't it cold water?
Darling, cold painted.
Ah!
You'd better get going!
Stop showing off!
Honestly, you try and teach them something, Charles, don't you?
Get outta here!
You're blowing so much smoke, get outta here.
Don't affect my hair, please.
VO: Right, back to business!
Hello there!
How are you?
Good to see you, Tony.
KEZ: Hi Tony.
CHARLIE: We love this fan.
Stylish... KEZ: Elegant.
CHARLES: Victoriana.
We think it's in really good condition, and I absolutely love it, so we were wondering what your best price...
If we said £50.
Can we get near 50?
We can do 50, that's no problem.
CHARLES: Are you sure?
TONY: £50, yeah.
Yeah.
The dealer won't mind at all.
That's very very kind.
And that still gives your dealer a good profit?
He's still got a profit.
We're all happy.
All happy, yes.
Very happy, Tony.
VO: Great deal, £50 for the late Victorian fan.
Thank you.
(LAUGHS) Sorry.
Careful, you almost broke it again.
(LAUGHS) VO: Well, he's her number one fan.
Meanwhile, have Sara and David made a decision?
I think we're gonna go with the pre-Columbian pot.
We fell in love with it as soon as we arrived.
DAVID: And you spotted it.
SARA: I did.
You're the one.
So do you know what I'm doing here, don't you?
So when it doesn't sell...
It's your fault.
(LAUGHS) I love it, and I'm very confident it is many hundreds of years old.
And I think we need Clive.
Clive, can we talk to you?
Certainly can.
You were talking 80 quid.
Can we do any better, yes or no?
60?
CLIVE: 70.
SARA: Are we gonna go for it?
I'd just go yes.
OK.
Thank you.
Thank you very much, Clive.
You're confident it's pre-Columbian?
I'm 100%.
So am I. VO: We got there eventually.
£70 for the pot.
VO: Now, dare we find out where the heck Keren and Charles have meandered to?
CHARLES: On a serious note, with your twinkle toes operating these pedals... (LAUGHS) I'm being serious.
Do you dance?
I dance in my own way, I suppose.
We have light routines, which aren't very taxing on stage.
I'd like to dance properly.
My parents were very keen on ballroom.
VO: We've made it to the village of Olney in Buckinghamshire.
Now, prepare yourself.
We're going back in time to take a glimpse at some dancing, Georgian style.
And with Charles, that could be dangerous.
# VIOLIN MUSIC VO: Georgian dancer Paul Collins knows the history inside out.
You're dressed, I suppose, at the time of what, the 1760s?
'70s?
That's absolutely right, yes.
CHARLES: Thank you.
KEZ: You're so clever.
Oh, I'm not sure about that.
But thank you very much, I'll take it anytime.
VO: During the reign of the four King Georges, from 1714 until 1830, formal dances were popular with the upper classes.
Not least because it allowed opportunity to meet a future spouse.
Lovely.
Take my arm, my dear, you'll be safe with me.
KEZ: What was the etiquette like?
What would I have to have done if I was at a dance?
There were specific etiquettes.
There was no way that a woman could ever ask a man to dance.
It was definitely the man's place to ask a woman to join him.
Women couldn't just walk onto the dance floor and join in a line of dancers.
They had to have permission to do that, unlike men.
So I'm thinking that when you pass each other, the eye contact, that's pretty much the only way of flirting you had.
There was no other sort of whispering in ears, cuz you weren't close enough.
The whole concept of having a cascading dance, a line of people waiting to be involved in the dance, was a good opportunity to engage socially, because the lady had got away from her chaperone, and could actually flirt with a man, and vice versa.
VO: The increased popularity of formal dance at this time was down to music publisher John Playford.
He created a manual with brief instructions for over 100 dances.
It was the go to book well into the 18th century.
This enabled this information to be disseminated across the country, and it was picked up quite enthusiastically.
Was it all very much set, how you had to be?
Yes, it was.
Playford was less formal than what went before it, but obviously, social mores remain very much the same.
So a lady had to be asked to dance.
If she wanted to join the dancing line, because maybe there were two ladies there to make the numbers, they had to ask permission, whereas a gentleman wouldn't necessarily have to ask permission.
VO: Nearing the end of the Georgian era, we stepped into the Regency period.
It was the time of the Napoleonic Wars, the growth of the British Empire, and a more liberal leaning of social attitudes.
The industrial revolution, by the time of the regency, had been underway for about 60 years, so the full effect of it by then was being felt nationwide, in terms of greater incomes.
And of course income looks for an outlet through leisure.
And people are always looking for new things to do.
Say I went to a Regency dance, and I was looking for a prospective husband.
Could I just dance with one and then say, "oh actually, he's more attractive" and then go off and dance with him?
In actual fact, had you had more than two dances with a gentleman, that would be regarded as quite risqué.
VO: Talking of risqué, a dance arrived from the continent which caused a furore within British society.
As reported in a Times Editorial from 1816.
"We remarked with pain that the indecent foreign dance "called the waltz... "It is quite sufficient to cast one's eyes "on the voluptuous intertwining of the limbs, "so long as this obscene display was confined "to prostitutes and adulteresses, "we did not think it deserving of notice.
"But now that it is attempted to be forced "on the respectable classes of society, "we feel it a duty to warn every parent against "exposing his daughter to so fatal a contagion."
I presume that's because there was more body contact?
Exactly.
So unlike in previous eras, where you're just holding hands, now it's very good news for men, you know.
You get your arm around the girl's waist... Around, and you pull them close to you.
..pull her tightly to you.
VO: But the waltz proved a hit with the young.
Formal dancing fell out of fashion as what we know today as ballroom became popular.
Now, it would be rude to leave without joining in, Georgian style.
Wigs at the ready.
Oh dear.
Brace yourselves.
You old dandy, Hanson!
Mmm, Keren looks very Georgian.
VO: Nifty footwork, Carlos!
VO: In Regency England, dancing was a ritual of courtship.
But the prim and proper formal routines and strict etiquette rules gave way to controversy and the intimate holds of the scandalous waltz.
So, we'll leave you to dance on.
VO: And how are our lovelies getting on in the swish Jag?
If you were to dream about a perfect buy, now that you've had the experience... You've had the full training.
(LAUGHS) Yes.
What would it be?
What should we lust for?
Well obviously something from the 19th century.
Obviously.
Well that's an obvious.
That's a given.
Maybe a Victorian rocking chair for a child.
VO: Sara and David's next stop is the Northamptonshire village of Castle Ashby.
VO: And the Eggshell Gallery.
VO: With £220 still in her purse, let's see what Sara plumps for in here.
I say.
Oh my gosh.
Look at that.
It's a lion mask doorknocker.
Brass?
Solid brass.
That is nice, isn't it?
Ooh, interesting.
SARA: What?
DAVID: Very nice.
Well, the back of anything will tell you more than the front ever will.
Really?
Yeah.
So I'm looking at the way it's made, the castings.
So it would be fitted to a panel or a door, and then screwed in tight with these little brass buns, one missing.
But the way that it's cast... How old is that?
How would you know how to date that?
Do you know what that sums up?
That sums up, actually, the reign of Queen Victoria, 1837-1901.
Height of the British Empire, beautifully made, made to last forever.
Not designed like a lot of things today.
He's lovely.
I really like that.
OK, let's leave him there for now.
That could be my favorite piece.
Could it?
Well it depends on price, doesn't it?
VO: Having a whopper of a knocker on your door in the 19th century was a bit of a status symbol.
And, like this pair, it meant you were swimming in riches.
VO: Let the mooch continue.
I've just spotted these two vases.
OK.
So a pair of...
Which is a good thing, isn't it?
Very good, very good.
And what I like about them is the colour... Yeah.
..and they've got quite an unusual pattern on them.
It's almost like, you know, cake decoration.
OK, yeah.
Yeah, it's that kind of feel.
So in a gilt and blue.
Now if I just get this one...
I would say they are very late 19th century, 1890, typical.
What else could they be?
To maybe 1910.
What's wrong with me?
I like them, and they're very tactile.
I like them.
They just feel really good... Oh God!
..don't they?
Let's get those.
What's the price?
Do you like 'em?
20 quid.
I think we have to get them.
SARA: £20?
DAVID: We have to get them.
OK, let's get them.
We have to get them, yeah.
Shall we take them down?
Let's take them down.
Let's go and see the chap at the counter.
OK. VO: Gird your loins then, John.
We love those.
Yep, very nice.
And we just want them, John.
Yep.
So that's 20 quid.
That's... We owe you 20 quid, that's fine.
OK, that's fine.
The doorknocker - what sort of money is it?
The big brass one.
SARA: Yeah.
DAVID: How much is it?
I was gonna mark it up for 125.
Oh.
What's the death on that, John?
I mean...
I'd do it for 75 for you.
OK, OK, OK.
So 75 quid for the...
I know, are you quite pleased with that?
(LAUGHS) I am.
Trying to act casual.
It's good, it's working, John isn't picking up on it at all.
No, not at all.
(ALL LAUGH) Well we're gonna have it then, aren't we?
Yeah.
OK, shake John's hand again.
Thank you, John.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, John.
So what do we owe you?
20 for these, 75, that's £95 then, please.
95, right.
So I have the money now.
Sara's much too irresponsible.
(LAUGHS) VO: That's it.
The huge lion head doorknocker and the pair of dainty art nouveau glass vases.
Finito for the shopping.
What would you like to eat on a beautiful British summer evening?
Fish, we like fish.
I like a bit of fish.
Well whatever you like, you're gonna get it.
Yeah, great.
I'm looking forward to that.
And it's been an amazing trip.
Now have you enjoyed this whole Antique Road Trip journey?
I have, and I'll be sad when it ends.
I think...
I think... Can we just do it for fun?
And let's just hope the little dog does well at the auction.
Let's hope so.
I really hope so.
It's OK, I won't hold it against you.
(LAUGHS) Cuz I've actually grown to love him.
VO: Aww, that's so lovely.
Next stop, that Leicestershire auction.
Sweet dreams.
VO: Get your best bib and tucker on!
It's auction day!
The village of Broughton Astley in Leicestershire is where we've headed.
Final day, Kez.
I know.
Exciting.
I have been to an auction before... Well, are you excited?
Yes, I am.
I can't wait to get there.
How do you think your electronic dog will do?
Well, I'd rather have your dog.
VO: Today's sale is at Sutton Hill Farm Country Auctions.
There you go, darling.
How are you doing?
You OK?
The fox arrives in Leicester.
Delightful.
OK, are you confident, Sara?
I'm very very confident.
OK.
I think we've got some really good items.
I think we've got some cracking items.
Shall we go sell them?
Game of chance, come on.
Let's go.
Let's go and sell 'em.
We're all winners.
VO: OK, let's get down to business, then.
VO: Sara and David spent £275 on four lots, including their massive lion knocker.
That's it.
That's it there.
Is that a brass one?
That is actually quite nice.
It's really decorative, isn't it?
I mean, dare I say, that could knock on a bit.
I would say it's got some age, probably late 19th century.
Is it?
But good object.
I really like it.
I hate the fact I like it, but I really do.
I would say it's worth one to 150... (GASPS) ..and it cost them £75.
No...
I can guarantee almost a bargain.
VO: Keren and Charles have five lots.
They spent £210 on those sweet spoons, look at that, and the late Victorian fan.
We know you love fans.
I do.
I actually think that's very pretty.
It's a good one.
It's no doubt that it's a good one.
And it would be used for balls, for events.
That has seen a lot of flirting.
Yeah.
I think it's lovely.
Do a bit of language of fans.
And I think... OK, I know what that means.
(LAUGHS) VO: Yeah.
She's not interested.
(LAUGHS) Today's jovial auctioneer is James Moulds.
Thoughts please, sir.
20... (GAVEL) Right, the Cheerful Dachshund.
Now here's a lot, I have my fears.
I might have to work very very hard to sell this.
My favorite item would be the Austrian cold painted bronze pug dog.
Probably the most valuable item that will make the most money in the auction.
Very very sweet item.
VO: Well, let's find out.
There are bidders in the room, on the phone and online.
Take a seat!
The auction is about to start.
I'm a bit blending in with the...the color.
I just look like a torso.
You did it on purpose.
(LAUGHS) VO: First up, the trio of brooches from Keren.
30 bid.
35... Come on.
Here we go.
40, five.
50, five.
Go on.
No?!
At £50, back of the room.
Stuck on the 50.
Come on.
We need one more for the road.
Very cheap.
Have you seen these?
This is your last chance.
Go on, madam.
£50... Go on, madam.
(GAVEL) (LAUGHS) Is that me shot?
That's alright.
Go on, madam.
They were a snip, they were a snip.
Come on, madam.
VO: Plenty more to go, Keren.
It could have been worse.
It could have been worse.
It could have been a lot worse.
Could have been a lot worse.
That was tough.
VO: It's Sara's turn now with her huge brass lion door knocker.
OK, start me at £50 somebody.
Go on.
50 bid.
Good.
£50, and 55 anywhere?
Come on, no money.
55, 65, madam.
70.
Go on.
It's lovely, isn't it?
80, five.
£80.
It's worth it.
You're worth it.
£80, the bid's with me.
You all done?
That's still a small profit.
But it's cheap.
No more interest at £80... All done.
It goes then, 80.
(GAVEL) Ooh!
I am shocked.
Well, that's the world of auctions.
It wasn't a whopping price, but it was a great knocker.
It was a great knocker.
VO: But it didn't command big money.
Pity.
Wouldn't you buy it again at the same price?
Yes, I would.
So, there's no harm done.
Buy it and take it home next time.
I would.
You know what, I would.
VO: Keren's beautiful Victorian fan is next to entice the bidders.
And it is at £80.
No!
SARA: Yes!
CHARLES: £80?
£18.
(LAUGHTER) Don't get too excited.
£18 on the internet.
It's gonna make a lot more.
Go on!
Come on!
20.
Five.
Come on!
Ah yes, you're right.
Come on!
£20, the lady's bid.
Stunning fabric.
It's so fabulous.
Stunning.
He hated it.
Go on, sir.
Surely.
35.
40.
Go on, sir.
One for the road.
At £40, the lady's bid.
At £40, and I'm going to sell it.
Oh, please.
Get it sold.
(GAVEL) But you got out of that well, because that was gonna sell for what, 25?
And then it took off.
VO: Didn't quite find its wings though, did it?
Is it only me that hated it, then?
Yes, only you.
Only you.
Get out.
VO: Let's see how Sara's pair of art nouveau glass vases fare.
£40, let's start with.
DAVID: Ah.
You've gotta be...
Someone's gone... Amazing.
Well done.
£40, should be hands everywhere!
At £40, I'm selling to the lady.
Well done.
Go on!
Doubled our money there.
SARA: What did we buy them for?
DAVID: 20!
Oh, great.
At £40 they go then... (GAVEL) Thank you madam.
High five, good man.
Yes, brilliant.
Well done.
Well done, sir.
That's a good slap.
VO: You're good at this, Sara.
Best profit of the day so far.
How do you feel, Sara?
After my find?
Your find.
I doubled my money.
I feel very very proud.
VO: Keren's Royal Crown Derby dainty cup and saucer are next up for scrutiny.
10.
I've got 10 bid.
Thank you, sir.
At £10, at £12.
That's so cheap.
It's beautiful.
Of course they should.
12, 14, 16.
That's so cheap.
20, five, 30.
You sure?
Go on!
So beautiful.
Go on!
So delicate.
Come on.
Thank you.
35 is your bid.
At 35, and I'm selling.
Make no mistake, it goes at £35... Wow, well... (GAVEL) Oh, good.
Well done, well done.
It's OK. Humble profit.
I thought for a moment, that wasn't going at all.
VO: Hey, the boy from Derby earns some profit for the kitty.
Squeezing profit.
Just squeezing.
Ugh, come on.
VO: Sara's pot that purports to be pre-Columbian is next.
£20 bid only.
Come on, should be hands everywhere!
Thank you, 25.
30, sir?
Thank you, 30, five.
Could be worth thousands.
Could be worth thousands, seriously.
Go on!
£30, your bid sir.
At £30, at 35.
I should think so.
40, five.
Go on!
Your bid at 45, madam.
At 45, at 50 then.
Ooh!
At 50.
Five?
Come on, one more.
55, at 60.
There's new blood in the room.
DAVID: Ah!
AUCTIONEER: You've woke up now.
Come on!
At £60, the bid's here.
At £60, and I'm selling.
We all done?
Oh, Sara, Sara, Sara.
Last chance, then.
Ooh, just in time, madam.
65.
At 70.
Five.
At least they've bumped it up.
It sells and goes at 70 then...
Very rare lot... (GAVEL) After all that work, it's wiped its face, eh?
Wiped its face.
VO: Not to worry, Sara.
You're still in the lead, girl.
It's wiped its face.
Wiped its face.
It's wiped its face.
Wipe your face off.
VO: Keren's art deco silver and enamel set of coffee spoons next.
I like the spoons.
I liked the little colored tips.
With me at £30.
OK. Alright.
Stir, stir.
35, I should think so.
KEZ: They are so pretty.
CHARLES: Go on.
35 is in the room.
40, five.
At 50, five.
Back of the room.
Oh, one more.
Go on, over there.
Sit down, Charles!
At £50, I'm selling.
All done?
£50... 50... (GAVEL) Still got more than you said.
Look at his face.
Only £15 more.
He's loving it.
I know, I'm much happier now.
VO: Don't hold back, David.
But still a profit, Keren, however small.
It's a funny old game.
It's a funny old game.
VO: Steady yourself, it's Charles' Japanese remote controlled Dachshund next.
Start me at £20 then.
So sweet.
Thank you, 20 bid.
Come on, someone.
It's wonderful.
It's so delightful.
Make a memory.
25, 30, five, 40, five.
Yes!
We've done it.
We've done it.
Even the auctioneer's clapping.
At 55, the back of the room.
All is forgiven!
All is forgiven.
Go on.
At 55, and I'm selling then...
Put it down!
And it barks.
(GAVEL) Well done.
55.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Well done.
Thank you.
Well done, Charles.
Well done, well done.
VO: Have faith in the Hanson expertise!
That was worth sniffing out, wasn't it boy?
David, novelty sells, and it brings the room alive.
Brilliant, brilliant.
You were right!
I can't believe it.
I cannot believe it.
VO: It's the battle of the hounds!
The auctioneer's favorite, Sara's 19th century dog is the last lot of the day.
Super lot!
It does good for us.
Get one going!
It's raced away, £35 bid.
Good.
Ah!
Don't worry, it'll make more.
40.
Five.
50, five.
Come on.
Ooh, it's going isn't it?
60, five, 70.
Go on!
Go on!
80, five.
Thank you, new bidder.
Come on!
90.
We need to get well over 100.
85, and I thought it was gonna make a lot more than this.
At 85, and I'm selling.
Selling it at 85 only... Well done, sir, very cheap.
(GAVEL) Ah, that is cheap.
You're happy.
Yeah, but it's a great object, though, and you were unlucky.
But I'm quite happy about that.
Ooh, sorry.
VO: What a pity, Sara, someone has just bought a complete bargain.
Shall we go and do some calculations, find out who's won?
Shall we?
Sounds good!
Great.
VO: Lovely bit of conga, you lot.
VO: From £400, Sara and David, after all auction costs, made a loss of £49.50.
Their final figure is £350.50.
(GAVEL) VO: Keren and Charles, after all auction room costs, made a loss of £21.40.
Their final sum is £378.60, and because they lost the least, they are today's winners.
Cheer up.
DAVID: Well done, well done.
But we've done very well indeed.
Amazing!
DAVID: Very well indeed.
Very well indeed.
It was so close!
So close.
We're all winners!
We're all winners.
Unlucky.
Thank you so much, take care.
Enjoy.
Thank you so much.
Georgian dandy.
Ciao, let me give you a little... DAVID: There we go.
Seatbelt on.
CHARLES: Bon voyage.
Drive safely.
Shall we give them a push?
Give them a push.
KEZ: Woo!
SARA: Bye darlings!
Bye, see you.
David, come on, let's go with them!
CHARLES: (LAUGHS) DAVID: Come back!
KEZ: So close, in the end.
Yeah.
I thought you'd done way better, but..
I mean, well I think you obviously didn't spend as much, but... SARA: Yeah.
..I think the shock for me was that we didn't lose too much.
VO: Haha!
Bye bye, superstar lovelies!
