There's a fact for you.
VO: ..paired up with an expert... We're like a girl band!
VO: ..and a classic car.
Give it some juice, Myrie, give it some juice.
VO: Their mission - to scour Britain for antiques.
I'm brilliant at haggling.
Who knew?
VO: The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.
I can't believe that!
VO: But it's no easy ride.
What's that smell?
The clutch!
VO: Who will find a hidden gem?
That's very art deco, innit?
VO: Take the biggest risk?
It's half toy, it's half furniture.
VO: Will anybody follow expert advice?
That's irrelevant.
VO: There will be worthy winners... VO: ..and valiant losers.
No!
VO: Put your pedal to the metal.
Woohoo!
(BOTH LAUGH) VO: This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip!
Nice!
VO: Wotcher!
It's a brand-new Road Trip.
With top geezer, Danny Dyer, and his little nipper - also Dani, but with an "I".
BOTH: Whoa!
Shut up!
(LAUGHS) Can you believe what we're doing?
Me and you, put together... Me and you together.
VO: What a diamond duo, eh?
You see, I love it.
I'm very excited about it.
See, this has always been your thing, though, innit?
This is the perfect opportunity for me to mince around... Mm.
..in little antique stores and get all excitable about it.
And have a laugh.
Yeah.
VO: A 30-year acting career from Brit flicks to soaps has seen this geezer play many a hard man.
Recently, Danny discovered a royal relation - none other than King Edward III of England.
Ah, I feel like I own the roads.
(LAUGHS) Just an old squire... with his great big motor.
VO: With such a regal lineage, it's no wonder that daughter Dani is queen of British reality TV.
Obviously, I'm a future king of England.
Where's your picture?
Well, usually I take a little picture of Kind Edward III with me and I stick it up... No, you don't.
..whenever I'm driving, just so I've got him with me.
That's why I want to get into antiques, because our bloodline.
Right.
Maybe we can find something a bit royal.
DANI: Maybe we could.
DANNY: Get on the royal vibe, you know?
VO: The obedient servants for their Royal Highnesses are auctioneers Natasha Raskin Sharp and Phil Serrell.
NATASHA (NRS): I think if we're in Essex, you have to have a nickname.
OK.
So I can't be calling you Philip.
What am I calling you?
Call me whatever you like.
Old geez.
(BOTH LAUGH) VO: Old geez - ha-ha!
- is wrestling with the mighty Dodge Dart from the 1970s.
It seems as though you're having to reach up to the steering wheel.
I think it's a bit of a lowrider... Well, I... Yeah.
The front of the bonnet looks about 300 yards away.
You see, that's an age thing, isn't it?
Cuz if I was with Dani, I should say it's 300 meters.
I'm very imperial.
VO: They're all at this royalty caper now!
How's Big Dan finding the 1960s Mustang 289 - made before seat belts were mandatory, don't you know?
This is a right nutty steering wheel.
Look at it, look.
Look at it, it's mental.
Oh, yeah.
Do you think you'd have to be rich back in the day to have one of these?
Yeah, I think you'd have to be caked, yeah.
VO: And do we have a father-daughter action plan?
Let's have a little wager on the side, then.
I'll bet you a bull's-eye - that's 50 quid or two scores and a cockle... (SHE LAUGHS) ..that I win.
Why don't we bet that and a Chinese?
Listen, I'm that confident, I might be ordering duck.
You're funny!
You know you're having a feast... Yeah!
.. when you get half crispy shredded duck.
Why is that?
So you better get ready to put your hands in your pockets, darling.
We'll see.
We shall see, Dad.
VO: Ooh!
We've got a right couple of high rollers here!
A blast around Hertfordshire and the county of Essex awaits, but we're building up to a mighty auction showdown at Bourne in Lincolnshire.
But first, we all have a shopping date at Potter's Bar.
DANNY: Oh-ho-ho-ho!
Look at this gaff, look.
Here we go.
Proper, this, Dan.
I want to run in there.
Race you in!
VO: Someone's keen!
Inside Canonbury Antiques, there's a veritable feast for the eyes, from big angry bears to lots of chairs.
Father and daughter each have 400 big ones.
Let the good old mooch begin!
DANNY: Cop for that lizard, look.
I know plenty of lizards, I'll tell you that now.
It's a nutty-looking thing.
In antique terms, it's a nutty bit of kit.
VO: No'ed!
Our founts of antique knowledge, aka Tash and Phil, are already having a good old rummage around.
I don't suppose you've got any chairs for sale, have you?
VO: Hey, you should be on stage, Phil.
Oh, Natasha.
How are you, my darling?
You're playing with some ponies.
I'm so buzzed to meet you.
Are you kidding?
And you... You're instantly going straight into cockney rhyming slang.
No, you literally have got a couple of ponies in your hand, and a pony is obviously rhyming slang for... NRS: For, remind me?
DANNY: ..20...25 quid.
Is this a good gaff, would you say?
Is it nice?
I think it's great.
You have to do all the haggling.
OK.
Please, please, I need to see you in action.
Let's go... OK, let's have it, girl.
Right... Let's have it.
VO: Elsewhere in the shop, what are Dani and Philpot up to?
Arr!
Arr, arr!
You alright, Phil?
Oh, hi, how are you?
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, you must be Dani.
What are you doing?
I was just...just a moment.
DANI: Nice.
PHIL: Yeah, absolutely.
Do you know anything about antiques?
I'm not a professional like you, actually, no.
Like who?
Who are you talking...
But I love an antique.
Oh, right.
Here I am.
Come on, off you go.
Right, let's go.
VO: Comedy central with Phil today.
PHIL: What have you found, Little Dan?
DANI: I like this clock.
PHIL: Why?
There's just something different about it.
Looks very old.
OK... Is it old?
How old do you think it is?
60 years old?
It's 1920s.
It's marble... Yeah.
..so it's kind of what we call art deco in period.
What's really fun about this, right, is that when I started in work - I won't tell you when that was - but things like this weren't really that old.
You know, this is like 100 years old now.
Wow.
That is old.
Thanks for that.
Why do you like it?
I just feel like it just stands out.
It's an unusual clock.
You don't really see clocks like that now.
No.
Would you have it in your home?
DANI: I would.
PHIL: Really?
I think I would.
That's a result.
Not in my main room, but it would be in a room.
VO: You love it THAT much, do you?
It doesn't have a ticket price, so one to add to the potentials, maybe.
Are you having a nice time, Dad?
Weird, innit?
A bit freaked out by these chairs, to be honest.
Watch your nut on these chairs.
How are you getting on?
Not bad... Oh-ho-ho-ho, you are taking this seriously, ain't you?
No.
There's a lot at stake between me and you.
A bull's-eye and... And a Chinese... with crispy duck.
BOTH: A big Chinese.
DANNY: Almost a banquet.
DANI: A feast.
..we're talking about 80 quid's worth of Chinese.
Oh, he's going for the 80 quid!
DANNY: On your way.
DANI: See you later.
I've clocked something over there.
VO: 80 quid's worth of Chinese!
Now what's this?
What a nutty bit of kit, that is, Tash.
Talk to me... Do you know what it is?
Eh, I know that's a prism.
Mm-hm.
That is a scientific instrument.
Yeah.
It looks very late 19th century.
Do you see a maker anywhere?
Uh, Duboscq.
That's a great marker - French, late 19th century, if I remember correctly.
The scientific instruments market is, believe it or not, very hot.
I know it's the kind of thing that people would love to have on their desk.
I don't know what I'd do with it but...
It must have something to do with the color spectrum, being a glass prism, but look how nibbled that glass is.
It must be the original glass.
So, the maker you said, Duboscq, is absolutely what will sell this.
VO: Jules Duboscq was a 19th century French instrument maker.
His company was the go-to firm for the leading scientists of the day.
It doesn't have a ticket price, but it looks like a strong possible.
Dealer Amy is first to experience the Danny Dyer haggle.
Stand by.
Good gaff.
Thank you very much.
DANNY: Plenty of chairs.
AMY: Yep.
Amy, this is a proper little thing, this, innit?
How much is this little bit of get-up?
It's £ .
80 quid.
Right, OK...
It is.
Any chance I could nick it off you, not nick it, 30 quid?
I need it higher than that... Yeah, right, OK, what about 40 quid?
I don't want to take liberties.
Let's say, £50.
OK, so a bull's eye?
A bull's eye, 50 quid, yeah?
50.
DANNY: Thank you so much.
AMY: £50, sold to you.
We'll have that, yeah?
We'll have it.
Thanks, Amy.
Bless you very much.
Hopefully I'll make a few quid on that.
There's your bull's eye.
Good luck.
Let's slip off, Tash.
AMY: Farewell!
DANNY: Ta-ra, babe.
AMY: Bye.
NRS: Thank you, Amy.
NRS: Thank you so much.
AMY: That's OK.
Thank you.
VO: With one nutty buy down and £350 left, I can't wait to see what else Danny chooses.
Look at that glass catching the light... Yeah, that's what I said.
All the colors.
That's what I'm saying, mate.
That's how we roll.
Duboscq.
Right, jump in.
Let's do the slips.
There we go.
We're prism nuts!
VO: Back inside, how's Little Dan getting on?
PHIL: Have a look at those, tell me what you think.
I don't love them.
Right.
What are they?
They're a pair of urns that would've sat either side of a clock.
Oh...
So you'd have a mantel clock.
And with those either side, you'd call it a clock garniture.
Probably above your fireplace.
Absolutely spot on.
And they're made out of marble and ormolu.
Ormolu is gilded brass, which is the kind of the metal on there.
But I mean, as a rough rule of thumb, although it's not obvious, if you look at that little screw that's holding it all together in the bottom... Yeah.
That is showing a bit of age, isn't it?
Yeah.
Even smells old, doesn't it?
Yeah, they're probably turn of the last century.
They're nice, actually.
And the fact that they're old, I like that.
VO: Yet another item without a price.
Any top tips for haggling, old geez?
So, £45 for those two.
£45 for the clock.
DANI: Oh, I can do that.
PHIL: Can you?
I've done loads of boot sales.
PHIL: Have you really?
DANI: Mm.
Martin!
VO: Alright, Phil!
I'm going to unleash you to the power of Little Dan.
Go on, hit him, girl.
You alright, Martin?
I love the shirt.
Thank you, that's kind of you.
Basically, we want to buy... Are they - what are they called?
Little urns.
We're going to buy these little urns and there's a really lovely clock over there.
No.
It's a really nasty clock over there.
A really nasty clock... Don't tell him... Yeah.
..over there, and we want to buy both of them for £90 really.
So if I say, for the two pieces, £120?
How does that grab you?
I'm really sorry, Martin.
We're only... MARTIN: Oh.
DANI: ..gonna go to, keep to 90.
MARTIN: Even money, £100.
PHIL: No.
That's not 90, is it?
It's not 90.
I'll take it off you.
Love you, Martin.
You're welcome.
VO: Good golly!
She's a chip off the old block.
£45 for the art deco mantel clock and 45 for the pair of 19th century urns.
Nice going, Dani.
That leaves you with £310.
Crikey!
Onward and upward.
Come on, Phil.
I'm taking you on a date.
That'll do great.
(BOTH LAUGH) VO: Now, where are Danny and Natasha?
NRS: You do EastEnders, you'll still find the time to do something like a Pinter play.
Yes, I was very good friends with Harold.
Yeah.
He was like one of my mentors.
He was my only mentor, really.
He's so brave in his writing.
You know, it's so real and raw, and so it used to roll off my tongue really easy.
VO: Our duo are on the edge of Epping Forest here in Sewardstonebury.
This very locale was crucial to the survival of one of the world's most successful movements.
Oh!
Not bad, Tash, is it?
NRS: Scouts HQ.
DANNY: So... NRS: Are you prepared?
DANNY: ..be prepared.
NRS: Yeah!
VO: This is Gilwell Park, the international mecca and training ground of the phenomenon that is the Scout movement.
Spawning an estimated 500 million Scouts since its creation over 100 years ago.
That screams Scout Hall to me.
VO: Danny and Natasha are meeting with Scout leader, Caroline Pantling.
NRS: This is lovely.
VO: Dyb, dyb, dob, you two.
You must be Caroline.
Hi, Natasha.
NRS: Hello.
CAROLINE: Hi, Danny.
DANNY: Caroline.
CAROLINE: Hi.
This is the main man.
Lovely to meet you both.
Thank you for having us.
Oh, it's an honor.
How did the Scouts begin?
So Scouts were the brainchild of a gentleman called Robert Baden-Powell.
He had had a career in the British Army and he thought that there was a need for a scheme that would help young people achieve their potential.
VO: This idea would develop into the international bestseller Scouting For Boys, which to date has sold over 100 million copies.
Here we have his handwritten manuscript for it, which is amazing.
What, the actual original?
Oh, wow.
And so, he included things like illustrations on how to do knots.
Oh, they love a knot, don't they, the Scouts?
They do, we do love a knot.
(LAUGHS) He didn't want to just write a book and launch it.
He wanted to test his ideas with real young people first.
So he organized a camp on Brownsea Island, which is in Poole Harbour, and he took 10 boys from fee-paying public schools, and then 10 boys from the local Boys' Brigade, so mixing social classes, which would be really innovative for that time.
VO: By 1909, Scouting For Boys had been translated into five languages, and a Scout rally in London attracted more than 11,000 Scouts.
NRS: Were you ever a Scout?
I went Cubs once, but it wasn't as grand as this.
It was in East London and I think I sobbed me heart out on the first day, and me mum took me home.
I didn't persist with it.
I was very young.
I think I had an issue around the socks.
Yeah, we're not so rigid on sock wearing... You're not now, no?
..today.
It's a bit more flexible.
VO: But it wasn't just for boys.
Baden-Powell recognized that girls dearly wanted to be involved, too.
And one of the things we have in this book is, on the first page, a lovely quote that the girls who wrote this book had copied out from the Scout magazine about Baden-Powell, saying he thinks that girls can get just as much healthy fun and enjoyment out of scouting as boys can.
So, in August 1909, he says that he's going to launch a separate organization called the Girl Guides and they start the following year.
VO: Following the First World War, the movement had lost at least 7,000 leaders and older boys.
To ensure the future of the Scouts, a training ground was vital.
Gilwell Park was the perfect location.
Training and camps began here in 1919.
CAROLINE: This is known as the Gilwell Oak and it's on the edge of the training ground.
The oak tree's a really important symbol in scouting.
In 1929, Baden-Powell did a little cartoon, and he said that the Brownsea Island camp was the little acorn from which the mighty oak of scouting grew.
What about Baden-Powell as an individual?
You know, obviously at this point in the 21st century, people are looking back and scrutinizing the actions of people from history.
Do his actions bear close scrutiny?
One of the things that often is brought up is was there a connection to the Hitler Youth?
Because Hitler took quite a lot of the ideas about healthy living, being a strong individual, looking after yourself, and twisted them to make his own idolatry of racial supremacy, anti-Semitism.
So he took some of Baden-Powell's ideas and twisted them for his own means.
VO: Essentially, the ultimate aim of Baden-Powell was to create a movement that didn't discriminate against gender, class or race - a stark contrast to the Hitler Youth.
How did the movement become international?
So really quickly, actually.
Initially, through a lot of the British Empire.
So there was awareness of what young people were doing back in the UK and people wanted to be part of that.
And I think there's only six countries across the world now where scouting doesn't have a presence and there are 57 million Scouts across the world.
So, if you think of those 20 boys on Brownsea Island, that's quite a success story.
VO: Before we skedaddle, Scout leader Caroline has laid on a treat for our wannabe Scouts.
In true Scout fashion, we're all kitted out to race in a makeshift raft.
Good luck!
DANNY: Here we go.
NRS: Go, go, go.
Here we go, don't be shy!
Boot their raft.
Boot it!
That's it.
Agh!
VO: Very motivational, Danny.
We've got to take the outside lane.
OK, Danny.
Do it through backwards, backwards... Backwards, backwards!
Oh, my days!
OK!
Here we go, we're in the home straight!
Agh!
Keep going!
We're in the home straight.
Keep going!
We're in the home straight!
VO: I think we're on the home straight!
Straight!
No, they're all over the gaff, this mob!
Oh... Come on, then.
Row faster, team...
Yes!
NRS: Woo!
DANNY: Yes!
VO: Blimey, I feel quite exhausted now.
Oars together.
Yes!
VO: Let's go and find Dani and Phil.
PHIL: You're a dental nurse.
Yeah.
(MUMBLES) (SHE LAUGHS) They are all my own.
Are they?
That's so good... Yeah, all my own.
A lot of metal, but they're all my own.
Do you floss?
Did you say, did I flush?
DANI: Floss.
PHIL: Flosh?
Isn't that a dance, isn't it?
(GIGGLES) No!
VO: The gigglers are making their way to the town of Sawbridgeworth in Hertfordshire.
PHIL: Top job!
DANI: Me and you, Phil, against the world.
Oh, living the dream, babe.
Madame.
After me.
After you.
VO: Antiques & Chic is a family-run business, and it's absolutely chocka!
I think I've got to breathe in a bit here.
Oh, you couldn't be claustrophobic, could you, Phil?
Claustrophobia.
I'll tell you what, I wish I hadn't had that extra piece of cake.
I love it in here, all this... Lord above.
..artwork.
VO: Dani and Phil have 310 smackers.
Oh, I love this.
What is it?
It's a bangle.
I'd wear that.
Try it on.
I'm scared.
Do you like that?
I love it.
I would imagine nine carat.
It's got a snake.
A snake bangle and it looks like it's got some stones around...
There's... Rubies?
..little stones, and they're pink... Rubies.
Yeah.
Rubies or garnets, but probably rubies.
It's a nice little bangle, isn't it?
Yeah.
And people like snakes.
Yeah, I think it's different as well.
VO: For millennia, the snake has been popular in jewelry, and is thought to symbolize everlasting love.
And it doesn't have a price tag.
Would you wear it, Phil?
Not in public.
(LAUGHS) Good girl.
I'm enjoying this, Phil, me and you...
This girl's on fire.
I feel like we should do this more often.
We will.
I could be your personal shopper.
Well... DANI: Yeah?
PHIL: ..I am.
VO: Onwards, you two.
What's next?
PHIL: Dani?
DANI: Yep.
Come and have a look at this, hon.
What do you reckon to that, then?
Like that.
PHIL: Do you?
DANI: Mm.
What do you know about gobstoppers, then?
Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory.
What?
Everlasting gobstoppers, remember?
No, I've never seen that but... What, you've never watched Willy Wonka?
No.
VO: Come on, Phil.
Even I've watched it!
See, the thing that I remember is going to the tuck shop at school, and they gave you this thing like a gobstopper that was the size of a billiard ball and you... You...
Wait, you got sweets in your tuck shop?
Yeah.
I got a milk and an orange.
You went to the wrong school, kid.
Yeah.
And you've got these things and you sucked them and they lasted for hours and hours and hours.
Mm.
So it looks to me like it's an old sweet shop sign or something like that for gobstoppers...
I'm sorry, I still can't get over that you ain't watched Willy Wonka.
I just can't get over it.
Really?
Yeah, I'm in shock.
I want to watch it with you.
VO: I doubt he'd get it, Dani.
PHIL: What would you do with it?
I think if you had, like... You know, like a vintage kind of room with random signs and photos and stuff in it.
Spot on.
It's a kind of a good decorator's lump, isn't it?
I...
I really like that.
Oh, I do like them, um, strawberry pencils.
Really?
Love a strawberry pencil.
See, I'm much more of a chocolate person, me.
Oh, I bet you like licorices.
Yeah, but I like the ones that have got hundreds and thousands around the outside.
DANI: Yeah.
PHIL: And the marzipan.
So you do like sweets.
Your face has lit up.
All I want to do is cuddle you.
Oh, Dani, you're lovely.
All I want to do... Why are we having a heart-to-heart over a gobstopper sign?
VO: I haven't seen Phil this cheerful since the '90s!
Ha!
Right, the gobstopper sign is also unpriced.
Steady yourself, dealer Nick.
Nick, we really like this gobstopper sign, don't we?
DANI: Yeah.
I think... PHIL: Yeah.
..it stands out actually.
Like, I'd have that.
We have found something else, haven't we?
Mm.
This bangle.
Oh yeah, it's nice, that, isn't it... DANI: How nice is that?
NICK: Yeah, really nice.
And it stood out to you, didn't it, Phil... You're supposed to be playing it, playing it down.
Don't tell him how nice it is.
No, it's...
Honestly, Phil loved it.
Yeah, and we were kind of thinking that if we put the two together... Yeah, definitely.
How much for the pair of them together?
Like, the lowest you'd go.
So you want the best deal possible?
Yeah.
175 for the pair and that is a good deal.
That's really kind.
Shall we do it?
Get the money out of your pocket and pay the man.
DANI: Yeah?
PHIL: Yeah, absolutely.
Counting the dollar.
Come on, then, you.
Off we go.
I'll drop you home.
Home James.
Thanks, Nick.
VO: That fizzy little shopping spree breaks down to £100 for the gold and ruby snake bangle and 75 for the large, shiny gobstopper sign, leaving £135 in the kitty.
That's it.
Shopping is over for today.
DANNY: I'm going to teach you about proper cockney slang.
OK.
So that when the Old Bill are about, we can talk and the Old Bill won't know what we're talking about.
Are we expecting a visit from the Old Bill?
Well, they're always on the prowl.
That scarf you've got on today.
My daughter bought me this.
Just amazing.
Only real men can pull off a scarf like that.
Oh, well, what a girl.
Do you know...
I mean it.
Oh, shut up.
VO: What a belter of a day.
Nighty night.
VO: Good morning, Essex.
It's Little Dan's turn driving today.
(WHINES) Now you're in a Mustang, you're a bit more patient.
I am.
Because in your other motor, you was knocking wing mirrors off for fun.
Go to... That's it, over there, there you go, darling.
VO: Whoopsie!
Now, what about this wager?
DANI: I am confident that you will be continuing to buy me my Chinese.
Oh, oh, OK... You know what?
There's a fine line between... DANNY: Yes.
DANI: ..arrogance... DANNY: Yeah, eee... DANI: ..and confidence.
..aah!
VO: Crumbs!
Now, how about their best buds in the Dodge?
NRS: Em... Tash, are you sure about this?
And what would Danny do?
Well, "Go for it, girl!"
And what would Dani with an I do?
Go for it, girl!
Oh, it's a family thing.
It's OK, it's OK... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Am I going too quickly?
Phil.
Oh!
We did it.
How did you do that?
VO: They're like a giddy Thelma and Louise.
You are due to buy me a Chinese, because... Yeah, you know what?
Well it's been 25 years, you've never bought me one.
That...
Yes, I have!
No, you haven't.
The only thing you ever bought me was vegan.
DANNY: Cheers (!)
VO: Ha-ha!
Time for this twosome to have a gander at one another's goodies.
Oh!
What a gaff... How lovely is this?
What a gaff.
Do you know what I love first thing in the morning?
Being wrapped around corn.
Wrapped around corn?
I love being wrapped around corn.
I treat you nice, don't I, Dad?
Yeah, course you do.
Always look after me, don't you?
That's what it's about, life, innit?
VO: Little Dan and Phil have been buying for Britain.
Oh, I love this.
VO: They spent £265 on the art deco mantel clock, the pair of 19th century urns, the golden ruby bangle and the great big gobstoppers sign, leaving them with £135.
Oh!
So, eh... Two of these.
Oh, OK, so that's a pair.
Yep.
You ain't got a couple of old girls in there, have you?
What do you mean?
Well, you could've had Maude in here and Ethel in here.
Oh, yeah, they look like ashes.
Sort of open it, and all of a sudden... That's what I'm saying.
That's what urns are.
Oh, I didn't look at them like that.
I mean, yeah, it's a strong bit of kit.
What did you pay for them?
I paid 90 for the two.
So these, and then the clock.
The clock and all.
Let's see...
I love that clock.
I'd have that clock.
I feel like you'd have that clock... Oh, it's got...it's a bit of weight, innit?
I know.
Phil told me all about it.
OK, so you paid 90 quid for this... And then, the little urns.
..and the two urns?
Yeah.
God, you have done well, you and Phil, ain't you?
Oh my God.
Guess what?
Do you know Phil never watched Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory?
DANNY: What?
DANI: Never watched Willy Wonka.
You're joking.
Have you got any facts about this, then, Dad?
Well, it's...French.
Right.
And basically, it would go in some sort of professor's study.
It's the stand that's worth the dough cos it's by a French geezer called Dubosch or something.
It's...
I think it's over 100 years old.
Stop.
Oh my goodness.
And I can see things from other angles.
DANNY: Right.
DANI: I like this one.
Well, it's well worth a bull's-eye to be able to see behind you.
DANNY: Innit?
DANI: Well done.
Oh, good, thanks.
VO: Leaving Danny and Tash with 350 smackers.
Dad...
But don't get too excitable.
No, I won't, I won't.
Because, um... You know, this antiques game, it's got a mad way of throwing things at you that sort of... Yeah.
..you know, can be upsetting.
Alright.
Especially, when there's Chinese involved, ribs.
I can't wait for you to shred it.
Crispy duck.
Half...half a crispy duck... You will be shredding the duck.
Half a crispy duck, not a quarter.
Alright.
VO: Do you know?
I'm peckish now.
(LAUGHS) VO: Danny has now made it to the village of Blackmore in Essex.
What a gaff.
Quaint.
VO: Megarrys Antiques and Teashop is next on Danny's hit list.
Established since 1994, this cozy emporium is crammed with all things pretty.
There's even a lovely tearoom, perfect for Big Dan.
Danny has 350 nicker to spend.
Now, Tash should be in here somewhere.
Oh, there she is!
But Danny has another girl on his mind.
DANNY: Judi?
JUDI: Yes, yes.
How are you?
I'm fine, thanks.
Who are you?
Eh, my name's Danny.
Have you seen EastEnders?
Oh, gosh.
Yes, yes.
You haven't, have you?
Well, I usually watch Coronation Street.
Basically, what I'm trying to do, Judi, is I'm trying to impress you, because I do want to buy some stuff from this shop.
And what a wonderful shop this is.
Thank you.
But obviously, it's backfired on me quite badly... ..and it's slightly embarrassing for me.
VO: Quick, speak to the doggy.
This your beautiful dog?
It is.
What's the dog's name?
Stanley.
You are amazing.
You're the best boy, aren't you?
But I bet you hate the theme tune to Corrie, don't you, really?
Poor little Stanley.
VO: I'll bet Stanley's watched all of your films.
Now, where is Ms Dyer?
VO: Dani's hot-footed it to the village of Great Baddow in Essex.
Hey, beautifully parked, Dani.
Great Baddow Antiques Centre has over 20 independent dealers.
Let's get inside and find Philpot!
From yesterday's splurge, Dani has £135 remaining.
What you got there, then?
I like them glasses.
They're nice.
OK, have a look at the little one in the middle.
This one?
Yeah.
OK. That's a special type of glass, that.
I could do a tequila out of that.
Well, you could.
It's called an illusion glass or a toastmaster's glass.
So basically, it looks like you're drinking loads but you aren't...
But you're only drinking a tiny bit.
Yeah.
Or whatever... What's the point in that?
Yeah.
On that note, we'll put that back, but I think they're quite fun things.
I love little cute glasses.
Yeah.
VO: While they rummage around, what's fresh over in Blackmore?
You did mention to me at one point you wanted to buy some silver spoons.
I've taken these condiment spoons.
There are four of them, and I've... Mm-hm.
..tried roughly to put them into date order.
Mm-hm.
I think we are encountering, across these four spoons, three of your ancestors.
NRS: So, we go from a... DANNY: OK. ..George III spoon.
I think this one is marked up around...
It doesn't have a date on it.
I've been looking at it.
I think it's around 1803 or 1808.
Whoa.
I think.
Then, we've got one, 1821.
That was handily written on the label.
So now we're into George IV.
Lovely.
Then early Victoria, one year on the throne.
Later Victoria, 10 years on the throne.
This is the only one that has what we call parcel-gilt.
So it's partially gilded in the spoon.
That's the only one that has it.
That's the classiest one.
The oldest one is the biggest one.
So, if I'm a collector, I'm ticking off not quite a spoon, almost mini ladle from the Georgian era.
I was going to say, what would you eat with that?
I'm not sure.
Wouldn't put mustard on that.
NRS: I'm not sure.
DANNY: That'd blow your mind.
Some sort of mini ladle.
Could be a deep soup spoon.
I'm not sure.
It's a lovely thing.
VO: The collection of spoons come to a total of £28.
It's got some royal about it, something royal, which excites me, and a bit of silver.
Mm-hm.
So let's...let's do it.
Happy with that?
OK... Yeah, cos we're playing catch-up.
VO: That's a definite contender.
Now, back to Great Baddow.
What I love about my job is things that tell a story.
DANI: Mm.
PHIL: Right, now... VO: Gather round.
..in the middle of the 18th century, the 1750s, we didn't really have porcelain in this country.
And the Chinese, who made fantastic porcelain from about the 11th and 12th centuries onwards... Mm.
..they exported really good quality porcelain from China... DANI: Mm.
PHIL: ..to Europe.
And there were no aeroplanes, so it came over on ships.
Ah.
And occasionally, these ships sunk.
I think it was the 1980s, there was a ship wreck that was discovered, and it was full of porcelain.
And divers went down and they retrieved all this porcelain that was packed in crates.
And it was known as the Nanking Cargo.
And it was all sold through Christie's in London.
And if you turn that plate upside down, I'm pretty sure that'll have a Nanking Cargo label on the bottom.
It does.
Right...
So is that from the ship?
That's from the ship.
Do you like it?
I love it.
I feel like every time someone would come round, I'd get me little plate out and put some biscuits on it.
Yeah.
Couple of custard creams.
Yeah, I like custard creams.
And then, I'll tell them that story.
What about Jammie Dodgers?
Overrated.
Really?
What's the point?
What is it?
VO: It's jam.
The plate's got a hefty price tag though - 225.
You have 135.
Martin!
What's the best you could do that for, please?
Eh, it's not mine, it's another dealer's, so I think I could probably get it down to 175.
VO: Ring that dealer, Martin.
125.
Yes, I'll...
I'll tell Phil, yeah... DANI: We can do that.
PHIL: Yeah, sure.
MARTIN: 125.
DANI: Yeah.
Are you happy?
I'm so happy... Yeah, that's really, really generous.
Thank you very much indeed.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Stephan.
Thank you.
This plate is my favorite purchase.
PHIL: Really?
DANI: Yeah.
VO: That's perf.
Let's get the readies out, then.
There we go.
Thank you ever so much.
Thank you so much.
Gotta bring it with you.
VO: Good work, you two.
The 18th century Nanking Cargo plate leaves you with a solitary tenner.
PHIL: Well done, us.
DANI: Well done, us.
Well done, us.
What a team!
There's no I in team on our team, is there?
No.
And off we go!
Here we go!
VO: Now, how about Danny in Blackmore with his big stash of £350?
Oh!
This is something my old man would love.
This would send my dad insane.
He loves boats.
What's the price on this?
275.
VO: Come on, Tash.
We need your help.
You're looking at what is undoubtedly the most expensive thing in this room.
I know.
This excites me.
Now, it says 275 on it.
It is a bit Trumpy.
NRS: Trumpy.
DANNY: Right?
Yeah, pricey, yeah.
So, but I reckon, cos I've been flirting with Judi a little bit... Have you?
Oh, I heard you talking to someone.
Well... we just gravitated towards each other, it was amazing.
VO: That's what you call it?
What do you think, Tash?
Right, so we're talking scratchbuilt model of a ship.
Right.
Tick, because there's a big market for that.
I can see the label from here - HMS Beagle - so Royal Navy.
So that is a hot market.
Militaria is such a big slice of the auction action.
So you have that here.
VO: There's also the added attraction that HMS Beagle was the ship that Charles Darwin boarded on his first expedition around the world in 1831.
And that's big!
I think that is classy.
I think it will go beautifully in our collection that we are swiftly amassing... DANNY: Mm-hm.
NRS: ..Danny.
Mm.
I'm going to see you in action for the second time.
DANNY: Shall we do this?
NRS: Let's haggle.
VO: Steady yourself, Judi.
Where's my Judi?
I'm here.
I've found a boat.
The Darwin boat?
The Darwin boat, HMS, um... NRS: Beagle.
DANNY: ..Beagle.
JUDI: Yeah.
DANNY: Alright?
..it's a beautiful model, that.
It's a strong bit of kit.
Mm.
Now, we've also come across some spoons.
Now, I was wondering if we could get the spoons and the boat for about maybe one...140?
Where are you at?
JUDI: 140?
NRS: Oh!
JUDI: Oh, it's a bit... NRS: He's bold.
(EASTENDERS THEME PLAYS) Oh, for goodness' sake, yes.
This is wonderful news.
Judi, are you sure you're willing to do this for me for 140?
Yeah, well, I didn't recognize you, did I?
So I feel guilty, so go on.
And I'll take that on the chin.
And it has hurt me slightly, I'm not going to lie, but...
..I'm going to whack down...
There's a ton there.
There's another 40.
Know what?
I'm going to chuck another ching in.
DANNY: That's a fiver... NRS: Oh!
..for young Stanley.
JUDI: Thank you.
DANNY: Get him some... JUDI: I'll get him some treats.
DANNY: Get him some sweets.
Judi, thank you so much.
It's been a real pleasure.
That's alright, it was a pleasure.
What a wonderful shop.
Anyone wants to come down here and get some antiques, get yourself down here, cos this is the gaff.
Thank you so much.
That's alright.
JUDI: Pleasure to meet you.
NRS: Thanks, Judi!
See you later, darling.
VO: That breaks down to £28 for the George III silver sauce ladle and mustard spoons, and 117 for the scale model of HMS Beagle.
Right, careful, Danny, there's a step.
Oh.
If you fall... Nicely done...
Thanks to the help.
..nicely done.
VO: Hey, I'm not sure that's gonna fit.
Oh, obviously it does.
Right, you're driving?
Yes, let's have it.
There's more readies to be made, OK?
Let's go to work.
(NATASHA LAUGHS) VO: How's it going in the Mustang, I wonder?
What's a podcast?
A podcast?
So, me and my dad do one and it's called Sorted With The Dyers.
Yeah.
So it's sort of like... You know, like a radio station?
Yeah.
So it's like half an hour of us just talking.
And what do you and your dad talk about?
It's funny.
Like, we get people sending in, asking questions, you know, on their dilemmas and their problems.
VO: And as a pro on the airwaves, Dani's going back in time to see where it all started.
A nautical journey awaits in Bradwell on Sea in Essex.
We're off to visit the pirate radio ship that truly rocked the boat of British broadcasting in the 1960s.
Peter Moore is the man to tell all.
DANI: You alright, Peter?
I hear you want to see a pirate ship?
Absolutely, I can't wait.
PETER: Well, if you're sure... DANI: Yeah.
..welcome on board.
Oh, I'm excited!
Are you, Phil?
Go on.
VO: Picture the scene - it's the 1960s, the baby boomers were rebels with a cause, shunning the establishment.
They were sparking a revolution from fashion to music.
We're on our way to visit the enduring symbol of British youth rebellion - the very first pirate radio station, Radio Caroline.
So what was the music scene in Britain like in the early '60s?
Rock & roll was coming over from America, and British bands were emerging.
And you'd think if you were a music lover, it would be a very good time.
But in fact, in the UK, it was enormously difficult to listen to popular music.
VO: The year was 1964.
Commercial radio didn't exist and the BBC were only playing around one hour of pop music a week.
So the only answer was to go outside of jurisdiction and become pirates and play 24 hours of pop music a day.
VO: Since 1964, there have been three Radio Caroline radio ships.
We're stepping aboard the MV Ross Revenge.
She's been on the go since the early 1980s.
Ah... Oh, easy as pie!
Like a gazelle.
VO: You took the words out of my mouth, Phil.
PHIL: Go, girl, go!
VO: A Dublin-born maverick, Ronan O'Rahilly would be the man responsible for bringing pop music to the masses.
PETER: He wanted to manage bands and artists.
But he was continually being snubbed and finding there was a monopoly he couldn't break.
And he realized the way to do it was put a ship outside British territorial waters, break all the rules and play the music he wanted to play.
So where about does Caroline come from then?
He went to America and saw a picture of Caroline Kennedy in the Oval Office, just playing up and distracting the serious business of government.
And he said, "Well, that's exactly what I want to do.
And therefore, the name should be Radio Caroline."
Oh!
PHIL: It's cool, isn't it?
DANI: Yeah.
VO: On Saturday 28 March, Britain's very first pirate radio station was live on the air.
'This is Christopher Moore with the first record program on Radio Caroline.'
So what was the reaction to the boat?
Like, was it successful?
It was so successful within a few weeks of starting, we had an audience of seven million people.
Wow, that's so many people, ain't it?
Seven million!
And it grew.
Colossal... And...and it grew.
VO: Suddenly, the airwaves were alive with music.
480 tracks a day.
Music fans were now being fed 168 hours of new music a week.
Uh-oh, looks like someone's been let loose!
I want to talk into a little microphone or something, do you know what I mean?
VO: Crikey.
You're getting right into this rebel DJ malarkey.
So I'm broadcasting from Radio Caroline.
This is Dani Dyer and I'm playing Ariana Grande.
(APACHE BY THE SHADOWS PLAYS) VO: Looks like Phil has other ideas.
How good is that?
Ah...
So what was it like to be a Radio Caroline DJ in the pirate years?
It was glamorous.
It was instant fame and recognition and tremendous career advancement.
I mean, Tony Blackburn, Simon Dee, people like this, they all became household names very quickly and they still have careers today.
Like overnight, then?
Yeah, overnight and enduring.
VO: The pirate years of '63 to '67 saw 10 pirate radio stations spring up around Britain, broadcasting to a daily audience of between 10 and 15 million.
PETER: The government eventually introduced legislation to try and close the pirates down.
And indeed, all the pirates did close, apart from Radio Caroline.
The reason given was alleged interference to other stations.
But by then it was realized that the public wanted all day pop music radio.
So the BBC were told to create Radio 1, which is still operating today, of course.
And their very first DJ was our very first DJ, Tony Blackburn.
VO: Radio Caroline kept steering through the rocky challenges until she was silenced by exasperated UK and Dutch governments in 1989.
'It appears that we are now being boarded by a Dutch tug.'
(RECORD SCRATCH) DANI: How were you able to survive it, then?
Well, our chief engineer hid as much equipment as he could and started rebuilding the transmitting part of the ship after they'd gone away.
But the listeners were so outraged that they gave us all their record collections.
Aww.
So we now have probably more records than we started out with.
We've got 11,000 records here.
That sort of, they call the Caroline effect, is tremendous goodwill.
VO: Radio Caroline is the original pirate ship that paved the way for Britain's musical revolution - a gutsy radio ship that continues to command the airwaves today.
VO: Talking of gutsy, how goes it in the powerful Dodge Dart?
DANNY: The first audition I had when I was 14 was for a thing called Prime Suspect with Helen Mirren.
And I went in, I read it, I got a phone call the same day and I got the part.
This was 1994.
And I've never really looked back since then, really.
VO: We're off to Westcliff-on-Sea in Essex.
Their final shopping spree is taking place in here - Sally's Out Of Curiosity.
NRS: This is it, Danny - Sally's.
Here we go.
Let's go, Tash.
Come on, liven yourself up.
We're all over this.
VO: This bottle of pop - shop!
- is knee-deep in antiques.
With three items in the bag, £205 left, or two ton and a ching.
Ha!
Oh, it will happen one day, I can tell you that now.
VO: No question, Danny.
Now, let's watch the Dyer in action.
NRS: So, what do you see?
Oh, a little James Bond thing in here.
NRS: OK. DANNY: Any value in it?
Well, you have chosen the sexiest of all the James Bond cars, the DB5, the Aston Martin, Goldfinger.
Would you be Bond?
DANNY: Would I be Bond?
NRS: Dream gig?
Oh, come on.
It don't get no better than that, surely.
VO: Let's get a better look at it, then.
This is a naughty toy.
Oh, look at that.
Look at the box and all that.
Immaculate.
OK.
So I'm absolutely no specialist when it comes to toys, but... You're joking!
I thought that was your...
I'm sorry!
So sorry... Can't believe this, Tash.
In the film, I think the car is silver.
Oh, look!
Oh!
Oh-ho!
It does work.
Do it again.
VO: Ah, Corgi thought a silver car would look unfinished, so it was made in gold, a nod to the film's title.
It's priced at £110.
No matter what the price, are we going for this?
Well, I'll see if I can knock a little bit of dough off it.
Should we do it?
NRS: Let's do it.
DANNY: Beautiful.
Maybe let's try and find something else before we go.
VO: Get rummaging, Miss Moneypenny and Bond.
NRS: Mr Bond, well done.
Ah.
Family, eh?
I'm trying to find something for Danny, but not actually Danny, for Mick, for Mick Carter, the landlord of the Queen Vic.
And where's the Queen Vic?
It's on Albert Square.
I've found a silver Albert chain for your pocket watch, your kettle.
My only problem is that it's £75.
But then I'm thinking, it's Danny Dyer.
He has managed to get us some amazing discounts, so I'm going to see if he fancies it.
VO: Oh, Danny!
Right, so you have your whistle on, three piece, I imagine... Three piece, yes, yes.
Nice.
Always.
Nice waistcoat, innit?
You have your kettle.
VO: Your pocket watch.
Got my kettle.
You're thinking, "How am I going to wear this effectively?"
Albert chain.
Mick Carter.
Albert Square.
Queen Vic.
Prince Albert made this all the rage.
Yeah.
You pop that through your buttonhole, you pop your kettle on the end, your fob, stick it in, Bob's your uncle.
Let's go and see Sally.
I think I can do something.
I see a glint in her eye.
OK. VO: Steady, Sal, the Cockney charmer is on his way.
I wish I could stay here for days, have a sleepover, and all that... ..but I can't, I've got to get to an auction.
The James Bond motor, the DB5.
Yeah.
Proper bit of kit.
It's 110.
What do you reckon?
What's your best price on it?
I don't want to take liberties.
No, you won't take liberties with me.
DANNY: No.
SALLY: 100.
DANNY: A ton?
SALLY: Yeah.
I'm going to suffer that.
Now, listen... Yeah.
..Tash, the Prince Albert turn out.
Now, what was the price on it?
It's 75, Sally.
It's a beautiful little thing.
Can I have it for 40 quid?
Little bit more.
Alright, do you want me to jump out of a cake at a wedding?
I can do that for you.
Just a little bit more.
OK.
So, OK, what do you reckon, 45 quid?
What do you want, a bull's-eye for it, what?
45.
DANNY: 45.
NRS: Result.
Sal, I'm overwhelmed by your generosity.
Right, there's...
There's 145 there for you.
Thank you.
I could spend crazy in here.
You don't mind if I count it, do you?
No, have a count, yeah.
You must be known in these parts.
DANNY: Hm.
VO: (LAUGHS) Is it all there?
Brilliant.
Course it is.
SALLY: Super.
NRS: Sally, thank you.
Lovely, God bless you.
Thank you so much.
You're a wonderful woman.
Good luck with everything.
Thank you, darling.
Thank you.
See you later, my darling.
Bye bye.
VO: Danny strikes again.
Ha-ha!
A total of £145 on the Corgi James Bond Aston Martin DB5 and the silver Prince Albert chain.
NRS: Done.
Dusted.
DANNY: Yes.
Yes!
Have we done enough to beat the old man?
I think we have, and I feel quite bad.
We have got some really good bits though.
I'm really pleased.
Like, stuff that I would have.
Dani's...
I saw her earlier sort of skipping off, all, you know, really giving it the big 'un.
Cuz she feels like she's nailed it.
But little does she know - hee-hee-hee - Daddy's coming for her.
VO: On that note it's time for some shut-eye.
VO: Oi-oi!
We're viewing the auction showdown in Greater London.
And on their way are two very excitable Dyers.
I've got some real little surprises up my sleeve.
But the whole thing in this is the Chinese, isn't it, at the end of it?
Well, yeah, a bull's-eye, remember?
And a Chinese.
And a big buffet Chinese, and three pots of curry sauce... DANI: Five.
VO: Our rendezvous point is Bentley Priory Museum, HQ of fighter command during the Battle of Britain in 1940.
Tash and Phil have joined their compadres to prepare for a different kind of battle.
DANNY: How lovely, eh?
I mean, it's the nutty four-ball.
It's the four-ball of all four-balls.
And look at our surroundings.
Pretty idyllic.
DANNY: Innit?
NRS: Mm, mm.
DANI: Nothing better, eh?
DANNY: Feel cultured today?
I feel very...
I feel different, Phil.
PHIL: Do you?
DANI: We've really got on.
PHIL: We've bonded.
DANI: We've really bonded.
I feel it's nerves.
Uh, it's the similarity of age, I think, that's probably helped us a lot.
DANNY: Absolutely.
ALL: Yeah.
Same with us.
We've had a right bond up, haven't we?
I was about to say, how did you describe it the other day?
A right bond up.
A real bond up, you know.
VO: After a wallop around Hertfordshire and Essex, the gang have gathered in Stanmore in Greater London, while their goodies have traveled to Bourne in Lincolnshire, home to Golding Young & Mawer.
It's open to online and commission bids across the globe.
Big Dan spent 340 smackers on five tiptop lots.
Let's see what auctioneer Colin Young thinks will make loads of bangers and mash.
HMS Beagle, beautifully scratch built, scale model in a glaze case.
Really good looking thing.
There's going to be plenty of buyers that want this type of marine item.
VO: Little Dan nearly blew the lot.
She spent 390 on five lots.
What's your fave, Colin?
I absolutely love the gobstoppers sign.
A really heavy piece of glass, beautifully decorated.
In terms of signs, it's a really, really good example.
VO: Back to beautiful Stanmore.
DANNY: Shall we do it?
PHIL: Yeah, go on then.
Alright.
Here we go.
Ready, everyone?
VO: Let's begin with the auctioneer's fave - Little Dan's gobstopper sign.
A gobstopper sign.
I've got a good feeling about our gobstoppers.
20 to go then, surely.
£20.
20.
PHIL: £20?
COLIN: £20 I'm bid, 20... That wasn't the plan.
COLIN: 28, 30... NRS: Oh, it's going.
It's going.
32 now, do I see?
At £30 bid.
At 32... Dani, what's going on?
38 bid.
There you go.
40.
That's the spirit.
42...
It's a slow burner... Suck it and see.
45 now, then.
45.
48.
There you go, it's going up.
50.
PHIL: Come on.
COLIN: £50 bid.
55.
Oh, oh, oh, oh... COLIN: 60.
DANI: Ah!
COLIN: Five.
DANI: Ah!
DANNY: Oh, it's creeping.
PHIL: Here we go, here we go.
70.
75 bid.
He's got to make his money.
COLIN: Five.
DANI: Ah!
DANNY: Got your 75... NRS: Go on.
Got your money back.
COLIN: 75 for the Gobstoppers.
DANI: Come on!
Oh, please!
DANNY: Come on.
COLIN: No?
Oh!
Once, twice, third and final time for you.
Oh, so close!
That got your money back.
Nuts.
That's a shame, isn't it?
Mm.
Silence.
All can I hear is the waterfall in the background.
Which is quite serene, actually.
VO: Serenity is needed right now.
It didn't quite tip the scales into profit.
Bit gutted, I can tell.

A pony is a loss.
Agh... Those are cheap, aren't they?
DANI: Yeah.
I thought... NRS: They were cheap.
..you would've profited on them, to be honest.
DANNY: Silver.
NRS: Ugh.
DANI: And they're old.
DANNY: They're old.
VO: I can't believe they only rustled up a pony.
Look, it's not a massive loss.

You know what it was?
It was faceless.
Just ignore them.
You know what, Phil?
I was really confident.
PHIL: Ignore them.
DANI: I'm upset.
VO: That's a real shame, Dani.
Plenty more to go, love.
It should have made a bull's-eye, shouldn't it?
Should have made a bull's-eye, but it didn't, Phil.
VO: Yeah.
Danny's big spend is next - the Corgi James Bond DB5.
I got excited about this, cos I sort of love a Dinky toy, I like the idea of them.

He was quick.
He was too quick.
He's in a rush.
I don't think he's had his lunch.
VO: The Bond fans are not in town.
A disappointing bull's-eye.
Someone's had a result with that little Dinky toy.
Let them go and play with it.
VO: Next, we have the 18th century Nanking Cargo plate - Dani's most expensive and fave buy.
You've got a... Now, this, 100% I'll be devastated if this don't, like, do well.
Should make 150 plus though.

You know what?
I think that's for nothing.
Well, it's a liberty.
That is really, really for nothing.

It's a good thing, but they obviously didn't think so, did they?
VO: The perils of auction.
What a bargain.
Well, look, it is what it is.
There's still time.

And speaking of time, it's the George V silver Albert chain.

NRS: Keep going!
DANNY: We're in.

Anyone else?
Surely, top me at 50... Make a bull's-eye, come on.
A bull's-eye, please.
Look at the links.
Selling at £48.
Oh!
It's alright, you got £3 profit...
It's not a loss.
They're nicking items for no dough here.
VO: The bull's-eye eludes you.
At least it's a titch of a profit.
It is what it is.
We're still alright.
VO: Little Dan's pair of 19th century urns are next.
I've got my belly churning.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.

You've got to bid.
Last call, then.
Selling at £22.
That's a liberty, that, what's happened.
Yeah.
I'm not even going to get all smug around it.
I really think those are cheap.
VO: Me too.
It's a bit of an ouch, that.
I'm disappointed for you, because someone's had a right result with them urns.
DANI: Yeah.
NRS: Mm, just not you.
VO: Time for Danny's mid-19th century Duboscq prism.
We're loving this.
DANNY: Worried about this.
NRS: Why are you worried?
Because it's a prism on a stick.
I think it's going to make a ton.
You think it's going to make a ton?
Mm.
It's 1860s, '70s.
1860s!

Do you have any more for me?
I will sell it, make no mistake.
I like that.
No?
We sell then at £90.
Oh!
Congratulations, Tash.
I know... No, I know it's a good profit, but I wanted 100.
Let's not be greedy.
VO: Yeah, Tash, it's the biggest profit so far.
We make a very strong team.
If it all went wrong and I got sort of sacked from EastEnders, then me and you could go into business buying prisms on sticks.
Yeah.
VO: Maybe we can slither into the lead with Dani's gold and ruby snake bangle.
This was Dani's buy and I think this is going to do OK. Do you reckon?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thank you, Phil.
If I could, I'd cuddle you.
Well done, Dan.
Well, you did that.
Well done, you.
VO: Finally, a well-deserved whopper of a profit for Little Dan.
You know what?
I'm going to feel good tonight.
Maybe you have got an eye for this.
You know what?
I do.
She has.
I'm really discovering myself, now I'm 25.
VO: It all comes down to Danny's final offering - the scale model of HMS Beagle.
PHIL: Did it sink?
NRS: No.
But it took Darwin to the Galapagos.
Really?
DANI: Oh.
NRS: Excuse me.
Yeah.
£50, anybody?
Can't go for a bull's-eye... Bid me again before I go to under commission bids.
Go on, get the hammer down.

I don't like it!
£85 is bid.
At 85.
There's got to be another.
There's got to be, mate, you're right.

DANI: Oh my God!
NRS: Do you like his patter?
95, get up to the ton.
COLIN: 100, surely?
DANNY: ..get up to the ton.
COLIN: 100 bid.
DANNY: Thank you very much, sir.
At 110, we appear to have settled in calm waters.
120, it's getting choppy again.

130.
At 130.

NRS: Oh, it's, oh... COLIN: 150.
DANNY: 150... NRS: Oh, 150's bid!
DANNY: Here we go.
We sell then.
Are you sure?
Once, twice, third and final time then, and I sell.
Yes!
One and a half, that'll do.
NRS: Yes!
DANI: Wow.
VO: We got over the ton!
Great work, Danny.
Dani, I don't want to worry you, but I think you might be buying your dad a Chinese.
I know.
You know what, though, he deserves it.
Phil, with all of his decades of experience, let's be honest... Decades, yeah.
..it was Dani's item that really swung it for you.
So maybe this is your game.
How do I apply for a job?
You've got one.
DANI: Really?
PHIL: Yeah.
DANI: Can I?
PHIL: Yeah, start Monday.
How much an hour?
It's a pony an hour.
(ALL LAUGH) Pony an hour!
Or a bull's-eye.
VO: Let's tot up the numbers.
Dani and Phil began with £400.
After all auction costs, they have made a loss of £119.40, ending with £280.60.
Danny and Tash also started with £400 and made a loss of £42.34.
They have ended with £357.66, making them today's dazzling winners.
One thing I know though, Dad, is I definitely want to do this more with you.
DANNY: What, a bit of... DANI: Antique shopping.
DANNY: Yeah, no, I'm with you.
DANI: Cuz I've enjoyed it.
No, same.
Maybe this could be our thing.
I'd love that to be our thing.
DANI: I think we should do it.
DANNY: Gorging on antiques.
VO: Laters, you lovely pair.
