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.
TRISHA: What's that smell?
AMIR: The clutch!
VO: Who will find a hidden gem?
That's very art deco, innit?
VO: Take the biggest risk?
EAMONN: It's half toy, it's half furniture.
VO: Will anybody follow expert advice?
That's irrelevant.
VO: There will be worthy winners... CHRIS: (GROANS) RUFUS: (LAUGHS) VO: ..and valiant losers.
No!
VO: Put your pedal to the metal.
Woohoo!
VO: This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip!
VO: Drop dead gorgeous!
VO: Today, it's a Premiership road trip, as we're joined by two familiar faces from the world of football.
KAMMY: Sharp turn here, Jeff.
JEFF: Yep.
Do we lean in, like it's a racing car?
KAMMY: (LAUGHS) Just get that weight on this side.
VO: Tackling the roads in a 1979 Aston Martin Oscar India are legendary sporting presenters Chris "Kammy" Kamara, and Jeff Stelling.
KAMMY: Why don't you drive when I'm with you?
I like being chauffeur driven.
Parker, that's what I like to call you.
VO: A former professional footballer of 20 years, Kammy is renowned for his energetic commentary as a football pundit on British TV.
VO: Which is where he met fellow tripper Jeff, a sports journalist who is one of the top figures of sports broadcasting.
JEFF: They've got the right people, haven't they?
Cuz we are antiques I mean...
Speak for yourself!
JEFF: No!
VO: Today they'll be swapping sporting antics for a spot of antiquing.
You are competitive, and I think, over the years, I've never beaten you at anything.
JEFF: But you know what the difference is?
Your day'll come.
KAMMY: (LAUGHS) JEFF: Yeah.
And you know why?
Because this isn't about physicality or strength.
This is about what's up there.
This time brain beats brawn.
VO: Talking of brains and brawn - ha!
- today's experts are the burly Angus Ashworth, and the brainy Roo Irvine.
Are you a football fan?
Uh...not massively, no.
I know that sounds terrible.
Well, that makes two of us, so you're alright.
VO: This will be interesting - ha!
They're in a pre-seat belt era 1965 Morris Minor.
We'll have to see how many football puns we can get in.
As long as you don't score any own goals.
ANGUS: I hope not, no.
I mean, it's going to be like a World Cup final at the auction, isn't it?
VO: I'd relegate the pair of you for that effort.
And speaking of, it looks like the Aston's been benched.
KAMMY: Jeff, it's broke down.
You've broken it?!
Well, it won't start.
JEFF: You're having a laugh?
(ENGINE WHEEZES) Well, how are we going to get anywhere?
We're going to have to hitch a lift.
JEFF: Come on.
Let's go.
(SIGHS) Oh, God... KAMMY: It's not my fault.
JEFF: It is your fault.
You were driving.
JEFF: It's not my fault, I was the passenger.
VO: I'll organize a tow, while you thumb it.
VO: This great Leicestershire road trip will take in much of the county before ending at an auction in Bolton.
VO: But we kick off today's qualifier in Leicester.
VO: Famed as the birthplace of local radio, the package holiday, and a Premiership-winning team, Leicester is also home to our first stop of the trip.
VO: Freemens Common Antiques Centre.
JEFF: Finally, we're here.
Finally.
KAMMY: It's not my fault.
Look, the experts are here before us.
JEFF: That's a surprise, isn't it?
VO: Hey, enough bickering, let's get shopping.
VO: Somewhere amongst this treasure trove are a couple of priceless experts.
KAMMY: Roo, I've been looking for you!
I've found you!
Oh, Kammy!
On me head, son!
KAMMY: Wahey!
(LAUGHS) Not quite football, but the next best thing, eh?
No, not at all.
ROO: We want to beat them, don't we?
We want to beat Angus and Jeff.
KAMMY: Yeah.
Absolutely.
I can't let Jeff win.
Alright.
Well, in that case, let's head in this direction, and see what we can find.
VO: That's one pair up and running, now for the other two.
Matching jackets, very nice.
Angus, hey.
How you doing?
You alright?
Well, I am now.
I'm glad to see you, cuz I am befuddled and bewildered by all the stuff in here.
It's just amazing.
I mean, I'm relying on you.
No pressure on me, then!
JEFF: No.
Well, you've done this for a while, haven't you?
Yeah.
Just, yeah, 20-odd years.
ANGUS: But, um, yeah, OK, let's go have a look.
OK, let's go.
VO: Jeff and Kammy have £400 each to spend under the supervision of our experts, but it appears some require more supervising than others.
Hey, Dr Roo!
(IMITATING DALEK) Where are you?
I am a Dalek.
ROO: (LAUGHS) Do you know, as adorable as that is, that's a diver's helmet.
KAMMY: Oh, it's a diver's helmet?
ROO: Yeah.
VO: More yellow submarine than sonic screwdriver.
ROO: Definitely not something from the world of science fiction, but it suits you.
KAMMY: It's great, though, isn't it?
Oh, it's beautiful.
What's the price on it?
KAMMY: 190 ROO: Mm... A bit steep?
It'd really need to be close to about 100.
ROO: The tricky thing is, for diving helmets, it's one of those purely decorative things that sits on a table, never gets used, but just people ooh and aah at.
VO: Yes.
VO: Best to move on before you sink too much into it.
Ha!
VO: Hold the press!
What's Jeff turned up?
JEFF: When I started in journalism, this is the sort of thing that we would use, and Olivetti's, as I remember, they were regarded as sort of Rolls-Royce's.
They were the top, top one to have.
The top one.
That was what you bashed out your copy on.
ANGUS: Typewriters are actually really collectable, and from an interior point of view and sort of dressing a shop window, that sort of thing.
But you know, there's some big collectors out there.
Tom Hanks is a massive typewriter collector.
ANGUS: One like that, good make, but it's not quite the stylish earlier type... JEFF: Yeah.
..that makes a good display piece.
So, I don't know, probably, at auction, 40 to 60, something like that.
What have we got on it?
JEFF: Oh!
130.
I'll be honest, I don't think there's a profit in it.
Look, shall I just type in "No bargain".
ANGUS: (LAUGHS) VO: He types like me - ha - one finger.
VO: Let's keep looking, though.
JEFF: So, Angus, these two little fellas... ANGUS: Yeah.
..they remind me of home.
You're from Hartlepool, aren't you?
I am from Hartlepool.
One of the local rugby clubs put the monkey on their club ties and their club shirts.
And there's a statue of the monkey in the town.
It's a very famous thing in Hartlepool, isn't it?
Yeah.
Oh, absolutely.
VO: Cheeky monkey!
JEFF: I'm not sure about the aesthetic value of these two, but... ANGUS: I mean, they're great fun, but they're a modern sort of composite, you know, so there's not a lot of old to them.
So, I think maybe give those a miss.
Yeah.
VO: Sorry, chaps, not today.
ROO: Kammy?
KAMMY: Oh, Roo.
ROO: Ooh.
KAMMY: I'm in my element.
Look at these classics.
Stevie Wonder, Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Cash, Rod Stewart, Johnny Mathis!
And don't forget Shakin' Stevens!
KAMMY: Shakey, I'm not forgetting him!
ROO: Have you found your album in there?
I'm looking for it.
ROO: You might be somewhere between Stevie Wonder... KAMMY: No, I'll tell you what it is, it's sold out!
KAMMY & ROO: (LAUGH) VO: That explains it!
So, a no-no for purchase?
Unless you're buying a whole group of them and they're rare or early songs, rather than the '80s.
ROO: You know, '30s, '40s, '50s, and if they're signed by the artist, even better.
ROO: It's got to tell a story, as opposed to be something you can just pick up in a shop for 1.50.
VO: Not for us, then.
Best keep looking.
KAMMY: Roo, anything interesting?
ROO: I was drawn to this punch bowl and cups.
It's carnival glass.
ROO: Now, this was very big in the 1920s, so 100 years ago.
ROO: And the reason it's called carnival glass is this was given away at carnivals.
ROO: So you know how we win a prize of a teddy bear nowadays?
Back then, you were giving away these beautiful, iridescent glass bowls and vases.
VO: The color comes from minerals and metallic salts added to the glass.
But I love the fact it's a big punch bowl.
At Christmas time, you have mulled wine, in the summer, you're going to have Pimm's, aren't you?
Absolutely.
ROO: Lots of fresh strawberries, get the friends round, this is about the heart of entertaining.
KAMMY: 25 ROO: Is that per cup?
No, it's the whole lot.
I think, at £25, that could double its money.
ROO: Do you like it?
Is that good to go?
KAMMY: I love it.
ROO: Really?
Let's do it.
VO: Now we're getting somewhere!
VO: Oh, Angus, going anywhere nice your holidays?
VO: Should have guessed!
(LAUGHS) VO: But there's quite a lot of shopping to be done first.
JEFF: Kammy!
Kammy!
KAMMY: Yes?
JEFF: Look what I've found.
A car that not even you can break.
Let it go, Jeff!
Let it go!
It's being fixed.
Have you found anything?
JEFF: Yeah.
KAMMY: What?
Well, I'm not saying.
Go on!
You'll find out sooner rather than later.
VO: Yeah, you keep your cards close to your chest, very wise.
I need to go and see Roo because we are going to trounce you.
In your dreams.
JEFF & KAMMY: (CHUCKLE) VO: There'll be no trouncing if you don't start buying.
VO: So, what's next?
JEFF: That's interesting.
I'm not sure what it is, but it's interesting.
Well it's basically like a desk set.
I mean, originally I think it would have been a smoker's thing.
ANGUS: You'd have your cigarettes in there, that acts as a little ashtray.
That's Japanese, Mount Fuji.
Ever been to Japan?
Yeah.
I mean, it brought back a few memories, because Kammy and I, as fans, we went to the 2002 World Cup in Japan.
VO: Evocative, and only £25.
JEFF: Would we make anything on it at auction?
I think there's a chance we'll make a small profit on it.
ANGUS: This is probably early mid 20th century, so, you know, it's going back a while.
ANGUS: But it's a fun little piece.
Smoking bits have sort of gone out of fashion, but it's still a nice, decorative sort of desk piece.
So, I mean, at £25, I don't think you can go that far wrong with that, and a bit of reminiscing for you and Kammy.
Yeah.
I think we should give that a go.
ANGUS: Yeah?
Shall we go for that?
Let's go for that.
VO: You'll need to have a word with the shop owner, Liam.
LIAM: Hello.
JEFF: Um, so we like this little fella here.
It's priced at 25 quid, which I think is a good price, I'm not going to try and haggle about that.
Take it as it is.
Thank you very much.
No problem.
VO: Great.
With the first item under their belts, it's time for Jeff and Angus to make tracks, taking their remaining £375 with them.
VO: Now back to Kammy and Roo.
ROO: What have you got there?
KAMMY: I love this.
I love my animals, and this German Shepherd...oh, he's beautiful, he's beautiful.
Would I get the jet washer on him?
ROO: Oh, no.
KAMMY: No?
No, no, don't, no.
You might take his nose off.
KAMMY: Oh, dear.
ROO: (LAUGHS) I don't want to do that.
ROO: You probably could, but the thing with these garden ornaments is they look better with age.
KAMMY: OK. ROO: So, actually, if he was pristine and shining and sparkling, he would look like he's 10 years old.
VO: Or 70 in dog years.
ROO: That natural weathering of being outside, that actually adds some value to it because it shows that it's not just made yesterday.
ROO: In terms of age, he's probably maybe 50, 60, 70 years old, because he's got quite a bit of weathering on him.
KAMMY: I'm sold, I'm sold.
35 quid.
ROO: (WHISPERS) £35?
KAMMY: Mm.
ROO: But I think at auction, if someone's a dog lover and they have a German Shepherd, they'd happily spend £50, £60 to put that in their garden.
Rudy, you're coming with me.
KAMMY & ROO: (LAUGH) ROO: Yeah, I'll let you carry him.
KAMMY: I'll go and buy him first.
VO: Probably for the best.
Rudy, stay!
ROO: Liam, you've got a lovely shop, we've spotted two great items that we love.
LIAM: Brilliant.
ROO: There's the carnival glass punch bowl set.
LIAM: Yeah.
ROO: And the German Shepherd stone garden ornament.
£25, £35.
We're happy with that, aren't we, Kammy?
Oh, delighted.
60 squid?
KAMMY: 60 squid.
ROO: Pay the good man.
VO: Two items in the bag and £340 left.
Good work.
And with the items making their own way to auction, it's time to hit the road in the recently repaired Aston.
VO: Yep, keep coming.
Left a bit.
A bit more.
VO: Ah, there you go.
VO: Now let's catch up with Jeff and Angus in the Morris Minor.
You've had quite a career, haven't you?
Ha.
Yeah, I've been a very lucky boy, really.
JEFF: I've done the same job for 28 years now, and it's hard to think, actually, of a sporting event, a big sporting event that I haven't been to.
ANGUS: And Kammy, I mean, obviously you've worked together... JEFF: (LAUGHS) ..but you are a good mates, you know, outside of work, aren't you?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, well he's the best.
JEFF: We live at opposite ends of the country, so we don't see each other every day, we don't see each other every week.
But he's got an infectious enthusiasm ANGUS: (LAUGHS) which everybody loves.
VO: Just like our Angus, then!
Must be a Yorkshire thing.
Ha ha!
VO: The next stop for this pair is the medieval heart of Leicester to find out how a remarkable discovery in 2012 forever changed our understanding of King Richard III, one of our most notorious monarchs.
VO: Learning and interpretations manager Rachel Ayrton is here to explain more.
RACHEL: Richard's one of those really interesting characters.
Yes, he was king for only two years, but we've always thought of Richard as being this villainous, you know, murderous, evil bad guy.
VO: Richard had long been held responsible for the disappearance of his nephews - the Princes in the Tower - in a ruthless bid to secure the throne.
RACHEL: What did happen to those two young boys?
Did he murder them?
Did someone else murder them?
Did they die of natural causes?
We still don't know the answer, and I think that's what makes it such a really interesting story, even today.
VO: Richard's legacy was further muddied by his portrayal as a weakened, disfigured monster in Shakespeare's Richard III play.
VO: But as it turns out, he wasn't the feeble man we'd been led to believe.
VO: At the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, Richard led a heroic charge against the usurper Henry Tudor.
RACHEL: He was the kind of king who led his army from the front, so he was there fighting in the thick of it.
RACHEL: And we know now, that he was killed by two blows to the head because of the evidence from the skeletal remains.
Wasn't he the last of his line?
He was the last of the Plantagenets, yes, and Henry Tudor, who won the Battle of Bosworth, becomes King Henry VII, first of the Tudor dynasty.
VO: Jeff and Angus are heading inside the Richard III visitor center to see his grave, and find out how this story takes an unexpected turn.
RACHEL: After the Battle of Bosworth, Richard's body was brought back to Leicester and he was put on display for a couple of days so that people could see he was dead.
And then he was buried under the Grey Friars church building, and then, less than 100 years later, Henry VIII causes the friary to be demolished as part of the dissolution of the monasteries.
So, the friary building and church are demolished, but Richard's body is still there under the floor.
VO: Over the next 400 years, the city of Leicester expanded and evolved until the whereabouts of his remains were lost in time.
RACHEL: In 2012, a team from the Richard III Society, the University of Leicester and the city council start an archaeological dig in what's now a car park, and uncover the remains of Richard III.
JEFF: How could they be so sure it was him?
RACHEL: Well, the big factor was DNA testing.
They had already identified two people who were related to Richard's family, Richard's 16-times great niece and nephew, who kindly gave a DNA sample, which they tested against DNA that they'd extracted from the skeleton.
And did you learn anything from the skeleton, from the bones?
RACHEL: Absolutely.
The headline news was that Richard had a condition called scoliosis, which causes a curvature of the spine.
RACHEL: So, while Shakespeare always painted Richard as being a hunchback, actually, he did have something wrong with his back, but it was a sideways curve rather than a hunch, and we don't think it hindered Richard a great deal.
VO: Thanks to the remarkable research carried out, centuries of the exaggerated tales were laid to rest, and the remains of Richard III, King of England, were finally given the burial they deserved in Leicester Cathedral.
VO: Back outside, whilst Angus has mysteriously gone AWOL, Jeff is about to experience some of what the knights of Bosworth would have felt, with the help of medieval re-enactor Jed.
JEFF: I feel like a sardine in a can.
But is this the sort of thing that Richard III might have worn?
Absolutely.
You are completely dressed for battle.
His armor would be a bit posher than that, but he would... this is the sort of thing that he would see on the battlefield 500 years ago.
JEFF: Yeah.
How much does all this weigh?
JED: So, a fully armored knight, you're looking at someone wearing somewhere between five to five and a half stones.
So, that's about 35 bags of sugar, the next time you go shopping.
JEFF: (LAUGHS) I feel sorry for the poor horses.
JED: Definitely!
I mean, if you were to get on a horse, you'd have a mounting block, so you'd be able to step up, but knights in this, they would be able to do forward rolls, handstands.
JED: I wouldn't try it if I were you, but it is possible to do it, because it's so flexible to be able to move in it.
Mm.
I'll never complain about trying to get into my clothes, my normal clothes again, not having worn this.
But I'll tell you what I have thought, though, is...this has given me an idea.
JED: Oh!
Kammy, I'm coming to get you!
VO: Ha ha!
Very scary!
But let's save the swordplay for later.
VO: Meanwhile, Kammy and Roo are taking a scenic route five miles south towards the village of Blaby.
ROO: Were you as nice on the football pitch as you in an antique shop?
When I first started, yes.
ROO: Really?
KAMMY: (LAUGHS) KAMMY: And then I became a midfield enforcer.
Was that a bit tougher?
KAMMY: Yeah, a bit tougher.
The word "enforcer" gives it away.
Yeah.
The occasional sending off.
Ooh!
So, this is a side of you that I have not seen.
ROO: So, I want you to get into character... KAMMY: Yes you have.
Get out of the car!
KAMMY & ROO: (LAUGH) VO: Oh, lordy!
ROO: I like bad Kammy, he's cool.
So, when we're in the next shop, I want the enforcer... KAMMY: The Enforcer... ROO: ..to walk into that shop.
KAMMY: Oh, God.
ROO: You hear me?
KAMMY: Oh, you're on.
VO: Stand by, everyone!
VO: Our next shop is Blaby Antiques Center, owned and run by dealer Jane.
VO: And there's a wide variety of items for them to rummage through here.
Sorry, wrong number!
VO: I hope that wasn't a customer calling!
Ha!
Right.
This is alien.
20 quid.
"Vintage telephone".
That means I'm vintage!
God!
Or just old.
What's he up to now?
VO: Putting his feet up, by the look of it.
Roo!
Get me a cup of tea.
He's not doing any shopping, is he?
VO: It would appear not.
It's always to me to do the hard work.
VO: Right, enough lazing about.
You still have £340 to spend, you know?
KAMMY: Roo, come and see.
ROO: What have you found?
KAMMY: In '66, England won the World Cup, right?
Did they?!
They did, indeed.
I was eight years old.
KAMMY: We beat the Germans in the final.
World Cup Willie.
That was the mascot the whole way through.
MUSIC: "World Cup Willie" by Lonnie Donegan # Dressed in red, white and blue, he's World Cup Willie... # VO: Being the first-ever official mascot for a World Cup, memorabilia like this money box was very popular at the time.
It's a bit pricey, though.
ROO: How much?
KAMMY: 120.
ROO: (INHALES SHARPLY) What do you think?
Hm, that will be priced because of what it represents.
ROO: There's a whole money box market, people who will collect just money boxes, but this is appealing to the England football crowd.
Will you barter for me, or shall I do it?
ROO: I tell you what, you love it, so I think your heart will lead the way, and remember, bring out the enforcer.
ROO: (WHISPERS) The enforcer.
And if you need backup, you've got me as your heavy.
You'll take a fiver and like it!
KAMMY & ROO: (LAUGH) VO: It's a potential, but I'd save the tough talk for later.
VO: What's next?
ROO: Ooh!
What do you think of that?
KAMMY: What is it, a drum?
ROO: This is actually a copper planter, but I think this is completely home-made.
KAMMY: Oh, right.
ROO: Because you can see round the edge of the copper, it's been cut from something, maybe some kind of barrel.
Soldered, brass screws put on, wooden feet from furniture.
ROO: I think this is a proper home DIY piece.
VO: Nice and shiny, though.
ROO: That in the garden, people will be willing to spend £40, £50 on, just to put their pansies in.
ROO: Do you like it?
Yeah, I do, but how much?
ROO: (INHALES SHARPLY) Let's see.
£44.
44 quid.
That's not a bad price for a huge chunk of copper.
If you believe in it, then I'm with you.
VO: Another for the list, then.
Time for one last look.
KAMMY: Roo, what do you think?
Suits me?
ROO: I love...I think that suits you really well, have you ever worn a pocket watch?
No, I haven't.
ROO: I think you should, because that's made for you.
KAMMY: Is it too classy for me?
ROO: No.
Chris Eubank, Chris Kamara.
No, I think you're too classy for that.
ROO: I like that, because pocket watches are collectable, they're desirable, they're old-world glamour.
ROO: What does it say on the ticket?
KAMMY: It says... "Silver, Chester, 1895.
H Samuels, Market Street, Manchester."
VO: Harriet Samuels started the company as a mail order business in 1862.
ROO: So that's Victorian.
And what does the weight feel like?
ROO: Does it feel quality, and weighty in your hands?
Yeah, it does.
It feels really good.
I don't think you can go wrong with a pocket watch.
VO: Famous last words.
VO: Priced at 75, it's time for a chat with Jane.
We're absolutely spoilt for choice in this shop, you've got so many cool things, but...Kammy is in love with little World Cup Willie.
VO: Priced at 120.
Could you do 80 quid?
We could.
Oh, brilliant!
Get in there!
ROO: Well done.
One nil Kammy.
ROO: And then we have the pocket watch, which is 75, that's quite a smart thing.
Could you do £50 on that?
We could do 50 on that.
KAMMY: Oh!
I should have went lower!
Two nil!
KAMMY: Oh, no!
VO: Finally, for the hat trick, it's the planter, priced at 44.
ROO: What do you want for it, Kammy?
24?
No, sorry.
That's a little bit too low.
A bit too low.
What do you reckon?
30?
JANE: We could do 30.
KAMMY: You could do 30!
ROO: Really!
KAMMY: Oh!
ROO: Three nil!
Hat trick, Geoff Hurst.
Get in there!
KAMMY: World Cup Willie's brought us luck!
ROO: Jane, thank you.
You really have been amazing.
VO: She certainly has.
VO: World Cup Willie, with the watch and copper planter, leaves our high scorers with £180 for tomorrow.
ROO: Not bad, eh?
I wanted to carry that, but I couldn't be without my Willie.
ROO: Oh, yeah!
VO: Eh.
And on that note, our teams reach half-time on their buying extravaganza.
JEFF: The car's amazing, really, isn't it, you know?
I wonder when it was first manufactured whether people ever dreamt that so many years later, A, it would still be running and, B, it would be such a head turner.
ANGUS: There is something really quite nice about being in a classic car.
ROO: We've done the shopping, we've put in the hard graft, we've done a good job at negotiating.
ROO: I think now we need to unwind with good food, maybe a camembert to share.
KAMMY: Ooh!
ROO: And then we'll be all set up for tomorrow.
Yeah?
Oh, I love a bit of camembert!
VO: Just make sure you get some shut eye.
VO: Ha ha!
Nighty night.
VO: It's a new day on our Leicestershire antiques adventure.
JEFF: Well, Kammy, I said I was never getting back in this car with you again, so do not break it again today.
KAMMY: (LAUGHS) It's sounding a bit noisy.
It doesn't sound in the best of health.
It's a bit throaty.
A bit like me, actually.
VO: Travel sweets in the glove box, Jeff.
VO: Now, how's it going in the Morris Minor?
ANGUS: Did you have a good day yesterday?
ROO: Oh, a wonderful day.
I have to say, Kammy is an absolute sweetheart.
ROO: What about you?
ANGUS: Really good, actually, We didn't...we didn't buy a lot.
We've actually bought five items.
ANGUS: No!
Oh, come on!
ROO: You know what I'm like, Angus!
If you find the items, the prices are good, just buy, buy, buy.
VO: And buy, buy, buy they did.
VO: Spending £220 on the carnival glass punchbowl, the Victorian dog ornament, the copper planter, the silver pocket watch and the World Cup Willie money box... You'll take a fiver and like it!
ROO: (LAUGHS) VO: ..leaving them with £180.
VO: While Geoff and Angus had a more frugal day, spending just £25 on the Japanese smoker's desk set... That's interesting.
I'm not sure what it is, but it's interesting.
VO: ..leaving them with £375 for today.
VO: But before buying recommences, it's time for a quick pit stop to check out what's in the boot.
KAMMY: Right, I'll show you my goodies.
Ha ha ha!
JEFF: Oh-ho, there he is!
And how much did you pay for him?
Well, they wanted 120.
JEFF: £1.20?
KAMMY: (LAUGHS) 120.
No!
That's what you call an antique.
You are what is called a mug!
KAMMY: (LAUGHS) JEFF: How much did you pay?
I got them down to £80.
Wow.
What a bargain.
KAMMY: What is this?
JEFF: It's a cigarette holder, and ashtray.
It's a work of art.
KAMMY: Yeah... (LAUGHS) JEFF: £25.
That...that is what you call a bargain.
25 quid?
That's a bargain.
You're having a go at me, and you spend 25 quid on this!
And it's broke!
He's broken the car, and now he's broken the antique.
VO: Right, enough ribbing.
Time to get going.
Kammy's dropping Jeff off in the town of Market Bosworth.
VO: With 375 still to spend, Jeff has made a beeline for Bosworth Antiques, where Angus has already started searching.
Now, to me, that's quite nice.
It's different, isn't it?
JEFF: I've no idea how clocks really do at auction or not, but it is a little bit unusual.
I quite like that.
VO: Priced at 75, this would be considered a grandmother instead of a grandfather clock, as it's under six foot three inches in height.
(CLOCK TICK TOCKS) And it...it makes the same ticking sound as the Aston Martin, when it's idling.
VO: Not your typical selling point.
Ha!
Let's move on.
Wow.
A coal scuttle.
With coal inside it.
VO: An added bonus, but not for us.
Anything else you're warming to?
I've never, ever seen anything like this before.
I just wondered what it was, and it tells us it's a patent feet warmer.
So, presumably, you pull the cork... VO: Oh, whoops!
Well, break the cork.
VO: Oh, you break it, you buy it!
Hot water inside.
Almost like an early vacuum flask, isn't it?
VO: Worth mentioning to Angus.
I've never seen anything like this before.
JEFF: I've never seen... ANGUS: We like to call them toe breakers.
JEFF: (LAUGHS) ANGUS: Can you imagine that in the bottom of your bed, you know, cold, and you, "Oh, argh!
", stub your toe.
VO: Ouch!
ANGUS: But that's basically an early hot water bottle that you've got.
That stoneware that sort of insulates the heat and radiates the heat.
It's glazed.
The cork, sadly, is broken, but that would have come out, and you know, filled it up with hot water...
I don't know how the cork could have got broken.
It's a shame it's broken, really, cuz that's, you know...it would have been worth a lot more if it was intact.
Oh, no.
ANGUS: Why, what have you done?
VO: Time to fess up.
Well, I tried to get the cork out.
ANGUS: (LAUGHS) JEFF: So... Did you think there was something nice inside it?
And unfortunately, just the top just broke off a little bit...
It's not the end of the world to make a new cork.
So, that's quite nice cuz it's got a bit of detail on it.
ANGUS: It's Doulton as well, so Doulton, who later became Royal Doulton.
VO: Which means it's pre 1901.
So, is it collectable?
ANGUS: They're collectable.
They're decorative.
But, I mean, you know, what are they wanting for it?
£9.
Can't go wrong at that, can you?
You know?
And it'd keep our feet warm in the Morris, wouldn't it?
JEFF: It would.
ANGUS: Yeah.
JEFF: It would.
OK. ANGUS: Yeah, I mean, if you fancy it?
Let's bear that in mind, shall we?
Yeah, no problem.
VO: That's one item we've warmed to.
VO: But what else can we find?
JEFF: You know, because of my background, I come from the northeast, so... ANGUS: Great place.
JEFF: Yeah, and I grew up, yeah...and I grew up, because we were on the edge of the Northumberland and Durham coal field.
JEFF: And, you know, a miner's lamp, do you get different brands?
Did every miner carry the same miner's lamp?
ANGUS: Yeah.
I mean you get all sorts, a real range of them.
I mean, this one here, the Eccles type, that's probably the most common that you see, the shape.
ANGUS: But you get different ones, and that one's slightly different again.
ANGUS: Some of them have some nice stamped marks on them that relate to certain collieries, that can make them a bit more interesting and collectable.
JEFF: So, the name on this one here, JH Naylor.
ANGUS: Yes.
JEFF: Is that... ANGUS: Yeah, and the design of that, so that's got a deeper base on it, so it's slightly more unusual.
It's not one of the standard names.
ANGUS: But it's got a crack in the glass, unfortunately.
JEFF: Oh, yeah.
ANGUS: Which knocks it a little bit.
I think out of the two, that's the rarer one.
JEFF: Yeah.
ANGUS: So that has a chance to do better.
JEFF: Even though that's in better condition than... ANGUS: Do you know what, you're really getting the hang of this, Jeff, cuz condition is so important.
But it's also the rarity value.
You can have something in perfect condition, but if there's hundreds and hundreds of them about that you see, then it's not that special.
Whereas something, if you don't see it very often, you can forgive a bit of poor condition, cuz when are you going to get another one?
That's...
When it comes to bad condition.
I know all about it!
All about it.
Come on, let's move on.
VO: We'll put that on the maybe list for now, then.
Jeff, I've picked out a couple of items.
ANGUS: Two bits of silver here, quite different.
We've got this bit, which is solid silver.
ANGUS: 1963, Birmingham mark on it.
But it's unusual, it's sort of a combination fork and spoon, and it's got a cat on it.
ANGUS: You're into your cats, aren't you?
JEFF: Oh, we've got nine cats, so that would go down beautifully at home.
JEFF: I've never seen it before, and I can't imagine quite how you would use it.
Maybe if you have a very spoilt cat, it's for doing their food.
I don't know!
Solid...something solid silver to give your cat.
Yeah.
Well, actually, that would seem logical in my household.
Yeah.
And I think that's just a little bit quirky, it's an unusual design.
JEFF: OK.
Ticket price of £30.
That's about right.
JEFF: Yeah.
And then a slight contrast, which is a nice early silver spoon.
ANGUS: This detail, it's got the initials of who it would have belonged to.
ANGUS: And this is Exeter, 1802.
So, Exeter is a little bit more obscure as an assay office, so it's a little bit more desirable than the standard Birmingham, London, Sheffield.
But it's £55, so, really, I think that needs to be nearer the 40 mark if we were to do anything on that.
ANGUS: But I don't know.
What do you think?
JEFF: I like them both, but I wouldn't know which I prefer, to be absolutely honest.
ANGUS: Yeah.
Maybe the cat connection.
Well, maybe we should have a word and see what we can do on price, and that might swing our... JEFF: OK. ANGUS: ..our verdict.
Well, let's do that.
VO: Sounds like a plan.
VO: Let's see what John has to say.
JEFF: We've found a couple of really interesting pieces, haven't we, Angus?
ANGUS: We have.
I think, you know.
Let me ask you first of all about this silver spoon, which has got a price of £55.
We quite like it.
JOHN: Yeah.
We just wonder whether there is any room for movement on that?
50?
We're thinking more in the region of 40?
48?
ANGUS: (LAUGHS) Are you sure you're not a Yorkshireman?
Yeah, you know all about this, don't you?
I do!
Money's not for spending in Yorkshire.
JEFF: 48 is the best you can do, or could you get a little bit lower?
45, how about that?
45?
OK. VO: A good discount.
You know, cuz we're potentially interested in the other one that's 30, and there's also the foot warmer to keep our feet warmer in the Morris, at £9.
JEFF: Yes.
So, that's 75, 84 overall, if we were to buy the three items.
JEFF: If we were to buy the three items, yeah... We'll do 80, say 80?
ANGUS: 80 for the three?
What do you think, Jeff?
I think that's fair enough, don't you?
Yeah, I think that's good.
ANGUS: Yeah.
JEFF: OK. Well, you best pay the man.
Very good.
£80, it is.
Let me just put those down.
VO: Thanks, John.
So that's the silver Georgian spoon for 41, the engraved cat spoon and fork for 30 and the foot warmer with half a cork for nine, leaving £295 in the piggy.
VO: And whilst they head to the next shop, let's catch up with Kammy in the Aston.
VO: He's zipping his way towards the hamlet of Upton, where he's arranged to meet Roo at family-run Sparkenhoe Farm.
KAMMY: I hope you've brought your wellies.
ROO: I'm wearing them now.
KAMMY: They're suede!
ROO: (LAUGHS) VO: Better watch your step, then.
They're meeting with farm owner Jo to find out how an easily recognizable cheese disappeared, and why it's now making a comeback.
KAMMY: Hi, Jo.
JO: Hello!
Nice to see you!
KAMMY: You look busy.
Oh, always busy!
ROO: (LAUGHS) You've got some hungry cows there, I think.
Yes.
VO: The milk from Jo's cows is the main ingredient in making the iconic Red Leicester cheese here at the farm.
ROO: So, you've got the raw natural milk from the cows, but how do you turn that into cheese?
JO: We add the starter to the milk.
Now, the starter is a bacteria that we add to the milk to give it those cheese characteristics.
VO: But the history of Red Leicester goes back over three centuries, when savvy dairy farmers started dyeing their cheeses orange with marigold leaves to make it stand out from the crowd.
JO: The next stage in the process is to add the annatto.
In the 18th century, when we started importing spices and importing more things from around the world, they replaced the marigold petals with annatto.
JO: And it's made from a nut, and the annatto is what gives the Red Leicester its orange color.
VO: This tradition was continued on farms across the county up until the outbreak of the Second World War, when, faced with shortages, the Ministry of Food banned all cheese production outside of government-sanctioned factories.
VO: Overnight our much-loved regional cheeses were replaced with a bland, rubbery alternative known as government cheddar.
VO: But it wasn't until 2005 that Red Leicester returned to Leicestershire, where Jo and her husband restarted production of the traditionally made cheese.
ROO: It's lovely to know you're still using the methods from the 1800s.
JO: Yes.
So, that's stayed the same all the way through.
VO: The next step is to add the rennet, which starts the curdling process.
KAMMY: So, what am I doing here, Jo?
JO: Trying to release the whey from the curds.
So, we've set the milk and made it into blancmange, and then we've cut it, and now we need to get as much whey out of the curd as possible.
JO: If you leave the whey in the curd, you'll get a very soggy cheese which is sort of plasticky and bendy, and we don't want that.
JO: We want more of a brittle, crumbly cheese.
JO: So, are you OK to do this for 45 minutes?
Of course!
I'm used to doing 90 minutes, so 45 minutes won't be a problem.
JO & KAMMY: (LAUGH) VO: Yes, but we still have shopping to do!
KAMMY: So, after I've finished my shift, 44 minutes time, what happens after that?
So then we release the curds and the whey and we separate them, so then we're left with a lot of curds and the whey goes away.
KAMMY: No way?
JO: Yes way.
VO: Hey, talk about cheesy!
VO: The drained curds are then milled, placed into molds, pressed and stored for up to 18 months to mature.
VO: Luckily Jo's got some she made earlier, so, after another wardrobe change, it's back outside for the tasting.
On your left we've got the Red Leicester which is about seven months old, and on the right, we've got the vintage, which is about 18 months old.
Which one should I try first?
JO: So, try the one on the left, which is the younger one, first.
Mm.
Beautiful.
ROO: Mm.
It's a very creamy.
Mm.
Mm.
VO: Now for the stronger-flavored vintage.
Oh, that is beautiful.
This tastes absolutely gorgeous.
I can't help but smile when I'm eating it.
JO: (LAUGHS) VO: It's thanks to hard work carried out by locals that one of our most iconic cheeses was finally brought home to the county which gave it its name.
To watch the whole process of cheese being made to actually enjoying the finished article, I think we've had the best day ever, haven't we, Kammy?
Absolutely brilliant.
VO: Well, it's not over yet!
VO: Time to finish up, and get back to shopping.
VO: Meanwhile, our other pair are feeling fortified after a busy morning's work.
ANGUS: I tell you what, we're doing well now, aren't we, Jeff?
ANGUS: You know, a few more buys in the bag.
Yeah.
I hope so, anyway!
And are your feet staying warm with the foot warmer?
Oh, lovely and warm, yeah.
Lovely and warm.
Just hope I don't stub my toe on it, though.
VO: That is for auction, you know?
ANGUS: We've still got a lot of cash.
I think we can probably go a little bit crazy in this one.
Yeah.
ANGUS: Well, not too crazy.
I mean I'm...I'm not allowed to take the excess home, am I?
No, no, no, no, no.
Well we should go a little crazy, then!
VO: Let the insanity ensue, as we head two miles along the road to the hamlet of Shenton.
ANGUS: This looks alright, Jeff.
VO: Just wait until you get inside!
Oh!
Set in a Grade II-listed building, Whitemoors Antique Center is brimming with goodies for Jeff and Angus to go crazy with with their £295.
VO: Anything suit?
JEFF: Wow.
(CHUCKLES) Angus, does that remind you of anyone?
Yeah, although his armor's a bit shinier than yours.
VO: And a tad smaller.
JEFF: Oh, hello!
He's lost his head.
Ha ha ha!
JEFF: He doesn't have that bulge around the stomach that mine had either.
Your armor was quite, you know...girthy.
It... "Girthy".
ANGUS & JEFF: (LAUGH) VO: Delicately put.
But let's get a wiggle on, as look who's turned up!
KAMMY: They're here!
ROO: I know.
They beat us to it, Kammy.
KAMMY: Oh, no!
VO: Not to worry.
There's still plenty of bargains inside.
Kammy, Kammy!
Oh, Jeff!
JEFF: I didn't know you were a bookworm.
Uh...well, it's a Morris Minor.
I'm just looking how to take the spark plugs out.
KAMMY: (LAUGHS) Cuz you're not driving home having jumped ship in my car.
Oh, the Morris Minor is absolutely superb, it's a superb machine.
We have not had a moment of difficulty with it, Kammy.
KAMMY: I know, but you will soon.
JEFF: So you keep your hands off it.
You will soon.
Anyway, look, I'm looking forward to the auction, cuz I know, I know, we are going to beat you.
I can't wait to see it.
You have to wait, you'll have to wait.
VO: But only if you finish shopping first, eh?
VO: So, what will it be?
VO: Ah, the old Sky Blue football magazine.
That wouldn't be very far off.
VO: Spot anyone we know?
JEFF: Ah!
He's there!
It's Kammy!
Ha!
JEFF: Oh, it's brilliant, what a picture.
VO: Nice knees!
Absolutely brilliant.
VO: But not for auction, so let's keep looking.
JEFF: Angus, I've found something that I love.
It's a 1920s HMV wind-up gramophone.
JEFF: It comes with spare needles, it comes with a case of 78 records.
JEFF: You know the best thing?
The best thing is it was £225, and now it's 150, so we've already got a bargain!
Do you...do you think that tells us something?
I think it tells us at £225, it was probably overpriced.
JEFF: But it's a sort of lovely looking thing.
I mean, I can tell you're very passionate about it, and that's fantastic.
And this would have been actually a portable record player.
You know, it's something you could have taken with you around.
ANGUS: I mean, you can't imagine it now, can you?
JEFF: No, you can't.
ANGUS: Playing off your... music off your phone.
Well, that was a portable record player.
ANGUS: And it's lovely, with the chrome and everything.
JEFF: And look at the records, I mean, they're fantastic, aren't they?
ANGUS: Yeah, yeah.
HMV - His Master's Voice records.
I mean, it's iconic.
JEFF: Do you think...you think it's overpriced, don't you?
I do, but do you know, you've almost sold it to me how enthusiastic you are about it!
JEFF: Well, I just think it's an eye catcher, isn't it?
ANGUS: It is.
It's a really eye catching item.
Well, Jeff, it's about what you want to buy, and, you know, it's a great example of its type.
I do think it's...I think it's risky.
JEFF: Do you think that whoever has already reduced it from 225 to 150 might reduce it a bit more?
ANGUS: Well, I think that could be your saving grace, because they've had it a long time, cuz they've already slashed the price.
We might be able to get away with a really cheeky offer, cuz that needs to come down quite a bit.
JEFF: Mm.
Well...
But I can tell how much you love it, so, you know, let's go for it, let's go see if we can do a deal.
Let us try a cheeky offer.
VO: Let's see what sales assistant Jacqui makes of it.
Hiya, Jacqui.
How are you doing?
I'm fine, thank you.
Yourself?
Yeah.
Well, really good at the moment... JACQUI: OK. ...cuz I've found something that I absolutely adore.
JEFF: Well, I quite like it.
JACQUI: OK. Well, it's OK. VO: Ha-ha.
Play it cool, Jeff!
It's this gramophone player.
JACQUI: Right.
JEFF: It's the wind-up gramophone player.
JACQUI: OK. And it's...but it's 150 quid, and I just wondered if there was any room for negotiation on that price?
JACQUI: I'm sure there is.
How's 100 sound?
100, to me, sounds great.
Let's say, Jackie, deal done.
JACQUI: Thank you very much.
Lovely.
And I've got the money here right now for you.
VO: Very generous.
That's 100 paid.
JACQUI: Thanks very much.
Oh, the pleasure's all mine, Jacqui.
Thank you.
VO: And with that, Jeff and Angus are all shopped up.
Well done, lads.
VO: Back inside, and Kammy and Roo still have £180 left to spend.
Have you found anything, Roo?
You know what, Kammy, I think I might have.
KAMMY: Ooh!
I think I might have found something to pair up with your favorite, World Cup Willie.
Oh, right?
ROO: I haven't found another World Cup Willie, but it's a money box, isn't it?
ROO: So many people collect money boxes, so this wouldn't be a football lot, it would be a money box collector's lot.
ROO: And do you know what?
It's £10.
So, bear with me.
I can see you need some convincing, don't you?
VO: Well, just a little!
It's solid brass, it's vintage, it's 1930s, 1940s.
You're the expert.
If you think that's worth a tenner and we'd get money for it, then great.
I think, for £10, it's putting more meat on our bones.
Ah, £10!
ROO: It's nothing!
It's nothing.
ROO: But it's giving us a meatier lot to take to auction.
Great.
Let's do it.
VO: Well, Kammy's convinced...kind of.
VO: Time to speak to Jacqui.
KAMMY: We've found an item.
ROO: Yes.
It split the crowd a little bit, actually.
It's your brass post office money box.
JACQUI: OK. ROO: And it's £10.
ROO: We can't argue with that, can we, Kammy?
JACQUI: That's right.
KAMMY: £10?
Great price.
Can't we give Jacqui 20?
ROO: Kammy, have you not learnt anything?
KAMMY: I know, but it's only a tenner!
VO: Don't spend it all at once, Jacqui.
ROO: Kammy, this is our trophy!
KAMMY: Yes!
It is!
Our last and final item.
Get in there!
VO: And you get in the car, as the next stop's the auction.
ROO: That's us.
We've just got to go to the auction now.
Ah, I'm nervous.
Are you?
KAMMY: Nervous for the auction.
Aw.
If we were to lose against Jeff, to be fair, I'd just strangle him.
You're a good sport.
You'd strangle him!?
KAMMY: (LAUGHS) I almost went into a hedge there!
VO: He's only joking, Roo!
ANGUS: God, it doesn't get much better than this, you know?
Here we are, two guys buying antiques in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside.
ANGUS: Top off.
JEFF: Yeah.
ANGUS: Yeah.
Top off in terms of the car, not us.
ANGUS: Yeah, yeah.
You wouldn't want to see that.
ANGUS: No, you wouldn't.
JEFF: Not in any circumstances.
ANGUS: That wouldn't be good at all, no.
VO: It would certainly turn a few heads!
Nighty night.
VO: Auction day is upon us, and our celebs are back behind the wheel of the Aston Martin.
KAMMY: I'm so looking forward to seeing Roo.
KAMMY: Do you feel the same about Angus?
People thought that Angus and I were part of a boyband!
Because we were wearing the same sort of bluey colored top, and the same white shirts.
JEFF: And we're just thinking, I thought the boyband, we could be called The Antiques!
KAMMY: (LAUGHS) KAMMY: The Old Gits!
JEFF: (LAUGHS) VO: Having already shopped their way through much of Leicestershire, our celebs are now heading to Long Whatton to watch the auction unfold online.
ANGUS: Roo-Roo, are you ready for it?
ROO: I'm ready for it.
ANGUS: And here they come.
ROO: Oh, let the games begin!
(LAUGHS) VO: Whilst they get settled in the grounds of the magnificent 19th century Whatton House, their items have made their way north to Bolton Auction Rooms, where they'll be sold off by auctioneer Harry Howcroft.
VO: But which of Jeff's and Angus' five lots, totaling £205, does he have high hopes for?
(GAVEL) HARRY: The Doulton foot warmer, yes, it's a nice thing.
A pity about the stopper being missing.
Maybe £15, £20.
VO: Whilst Kammy and Roo shelled out £230 for their five lots.
HARRY: One of my favorite lots in this auction is the World Cup Willie money box, together with the other one.
It is a period piece, I think it should do very, very well in our auction.
VO: Thanks, Harry.
Now, is everyone ready?
(BANGS GAVEL) ROO: Auction time.
VO: First to go is Jeff's Japanese smoker's desk set.
ANGUS: Oh, lovely this, innit, Jeff?
It is.
I mean, the last Olympics was in Japan, and I think that, you know, a little bit of memorabilia from Japan.
Hm.
Nice thing, this.
It's got the lid and everything, it's in good order.
Where do you want to be?
I've got 26.
28.
We're in profit.
35, £40 bid.
ROO: Oh, wow!
HARRY: Beautiful, it really is.
55 bid now.
60 anywhere?
On the internet at £55.
Wow!
55 quid?
Thank God he stopped here!
(GAVEL) I think we take a bow.
VO: And a round of applause!
It did scrub up well, didn't it?
It did, yeah.
It really scrubbed up well.
ROO: I have to say, I was not expecting 55.
Fair play, chaps.
That's a good result, that, Jeff.
VO: It's Kammy's round next, with his carnival glass punch bowl.
Colors glistening off it, the side of it...the size of it, you could put punch, you could put Pimm's in there in the summer.
ANGUS: You could.
HARRY: I've got... JEFF: Harry's not wild about it.
..14, 16, 18 bid.
£18 bid.
20 anywhere?
At £18 bid... No, no, no.
Don't stay at 18, please!
All done at £18?
The gavel's up for the last time, at £18.
(GAVEL) ROO: Ooh... KAMMY: £18!
Kammy, I'm so sorry.
Devastated.
VO: Chin up, the auction is young.
That was worth so much more than that.
Oh, who are these people in there?
ROO: I know!
KAMMY: Stop laughing, Angus!
ROO: (LAUGHS) VO: Let's see if he's still smiling after their unusual cat fork-spoon.
I think the spoon is to spoon out food, and maybe the fork is if you're getting it some...you know, some smoked salmon.
ANGUS: It's a spoilt cat with a silver spoon.
Hey!
Smoked salmon for your cat?
ANGUS: Well, ask Roo!
ROO: Mine does!
ANGUS: Yeah.
Sprinkle of caviar, they love it.
HARRY: Good hallmarks.
Where do you want to be?
£30, only bid at 30, only bid.
Is there five anywhere?
At 30 only bid.
ROO: Ooh!
Five?
Five is just in time.
Five.
HARRY: At £35 bid.
You're in profit.
At 35, I'll take 40.
At 35 only bid.
Are we all done and finished at £35?
(GAVEL) He's a cat lover!
VO: Somewhere out there is a very spoilt cat.
ROO: I think regardless, that was my favorite item that you two bought.
I think it's beautiful.
VO: Staying with the shiny theme, it's Roo and Kammy's copper planter.
Where do you want to be?
I've got 18 only bid.
£20 bid.
HARRY: 30, is there?
I'll take 30.
At 30 bid.
Thank you.
At £30 bid to my left.
HARRY: At 35 bid, now.
40 anywhere?
HARRY: At £35 bid.
I'll take 40.
All done and finished at £35, for the last time.
35.
Come on, someone!
£40 bid.
Thank you, Emma.
ROO: Last-minute bid, last-minute bidding!
HARRY: At £40 bid.
I'll take five.
At £40 bid.
HARRY: Last call, then, at 40.
The gavel's up, then, at £40.
Five just in time.
ROO: Ooh!
KAMMY: Get in there!
ROO: Just in the nick of time!
Living dangerously.
For the very last time, at £45.
(GAVEL) HARRY: Thank you.
ROO: £45.
Nice £15 profit.
Two very last-minute last-ditch bids, there, wasn't there?
VO: Kammy and Roo's first profit of the day.
KAMMY: Well done.
ROO: Well done you too!
(LAUGHS) VO: Time for Jeff and Angus' second silver offering.
The Georgian spoon.
It's a very early spoon, and it's provincial hallmarks.
ANGUS: Yeah, it's enough money.
I've got £35 bid.
Excellent.
HARRY: £35 bid.
Is there 40 anywhere?
At £40 bid.
Five, I'll take.
At £40.
40.
HARRY: At £40 bid.
I'll take five.
Anyone?
At £40 bid.
Are we all done?
On the internet, then, at £40.
(GAVEL) Aah.
Well, no.
We lost a pound.
VO: What's that between friends?
JEFF: We'll take that, won't we?
Yeah.
I mean, we can't win all of them, can we?
VO: Next up, Kammy's pocket watch.
JEFF: So, why did you pick this?
KAMMY: Cuz you can put it in your pocket.
ROO: (LAUGHS) I have got bids at 55, only bid at 55.
Wahey!
Get in!
HARRY: £60 bid now.
60 bid.
HARRY: At £60 bid.
To my left, then, at £60.
Oh... Last call, then.
The gavel's up then at £60.
(GAVEL) KAMMY: It's alright.
JEFF: You've made a profit.
KAMMY: Profit!
ROO: Yeah, we'll take that!
VO: Another respectable result for Kammy and Roo.
It's a profit.
Exactly.
And, actually, it's such a beautiful item, I would buy that again.
VO: Watch your toes, everyone - Jeff's foot warmer's next.
I think, for £9, you're going to double, treble your money.
20 quid?
I'd certainly take 20.
HARRY: Where do you want to be?
Start me, I've got 18, only bid at 18, only bid.
At 18, only bid.
Is there 20 anywhere?
ANGUS: £18!
Doubled up.
Yes, already doubled our money.
HARRY: 20, I'll take.
At £18.
All done at 18?
(GAVEL) Nice.
Doubled your money.
VO: It's better than a poke in the eye.
KAMMY: Well done.
ANGUS: I tell you what, if that cork was intact... Whoa, Jeff, it would've been... Angus, put a cork in it.
VO: We're going from foot warmers to a football next, with World Cup Willie and accompanying postbox.
Listen, chaps, this is our big risk coming up now.
HARRY: I have got bids of £55 bid.
OK.
Minimize the loss.
At 55.
I'll take 60.
ROO: Come on.
HARRY: At 55, I'll take 60.
At £55 bid.
Don't sell at 55!
World Cup Willie at 60...now, thank you, to my right.
He hasn't mentioned my post office money box!
HARRY: Five anywhere?
At £60 bid, I'll take five.
He does, he loves it.
HARRY: At £65 bid.
70 is there?
At £65 bid.
£75 bid.
80, I'll take.
At £75 bid on the internet.
ROO: One more.
Don't forget the postbox!
Are we all done for the last time?
The gavel's up, up, then, at £75.
(GAVEL) HARRY: Thank you.
Ooh.
£15 loss.
ANGUS: It kept climbing.
That's OK. VO: Oh, well, we'll always have 1966.
Well, we could've lost £80.
We could've lost £90!
Looks like we're not winning the World Cup any time soon.
We hardly lost any money on that.
VO: Last up for Jeff and Angus is the HMV gramophone and records.
Sometimes you do get world records.
JEFF & KAMMY: (LAUGH) ANGUS: You know, we might get a record price.
There we go, I've got bids with me at 28, only bid.
HARRY: At 28, only bid.
28?!
HARRY: Anywhere else?
At £28 bid.
30 anywhere?
I've got £30 bid to my left.
At £30 bid.
Now we're rolling.
It's creeping up, it's good, exactly.
HARRY: I'll take five.
At 30 only bid.
Tell them the names of the records, Harry!
To my left, then, at £30.
(GAVEL) ROO: Ooh!
VO: Definitely not the song of success.
Bad luck, chaps.
Hm.
We took a real hammering.
Yeah.
A real hammering.
KAMMY: I'm gutted for you, Jeff.
JEFF: Kammy, you're sounding like a broken record!
KAMMY & ROO: (LAUGH) VO: Try and show a modicum of sympathy.
Our final lot of today is the Victorian ornamental dog.
Now, Kammy fell in love with this wee chap.
Of course!
So, we'll find out in a moment whether you were barking mad to pay 35 quid for the stone dog.
Hey, I'm feeling ruff.
JEFF & ROO: (LAUGH) HARRY: I do have several commission bids.
ROO: Several!
Come on.
HARRY: I've got £80 bid.
At £80 bid, I'll take.
Five... KAMMY: Woo-hoo!
Get in!
I told you, garden ornaments, animals, stone... Lady's bid, at £95 bid.
Oooh!
95!
Music!
ROO: Top tip, now you know what to buy!
HARRY: I'll take 100.
At £95 bid.
It's in the room, lady's bid at £95.
ROO: Come on, one more!
KAMMY: No!
100!
Last time, at 95.
(GAVEL) Brilliant.
95 quid!
JEFF: Well done.
Back of the net.
VO: Looks like we saved the best till last.
Kammy's tail's wagging now!
ANGUS: It is, yeah!
I hate to say it, but in your face!
KAMMY & ROO: (LAUGH) VO: Someone's pleased with themselves!
But how has that affected the final scores?
VO: Jeff and Angus started the trip with £400 in their piggies and, despite some good profits, ended in the red with £340.96 after fees.
(GAVEL) VO: Kammy and Roo also started with 400, and after sale room fees are deducted, they turned a small profit, ending on the winning total of £410.26.
VO: And that final profit goes to Children In Need.
ROO: Yay!
JEFF: Oh... KAMMY: Oh Jeff, it wasn't a competition, but I won.
ANGUS & ROO: (LAUGH) JEFF: It wasn't!
You... You put up a good fight.
(LAUGHS) VO: Win or lose, you've both been brilliant sports, but it's time to hit the road.
JEFF: Do you know where you're going?
Did you put it in the sat nav?
I don't know, Jeff!
That's why you're the co-driver.
I haven't got a map.
No one asks Lewis Hamilton where he's going.
Cuz he goes round and round and round, doesn't he?
Well, that's what I'm doing!
JEFF: Yeah!
VO: You've been a couple of Championship chums.
See ya!
