VOICEOVER (VO): The nation's favorite celebrities... Oh, that is good.

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

I like that.

VO: ..and a classic car.

Feeling confident?

Er... VO: Their mission?

To scour Britain for antiques.

(GLASS SMASHES) Look at you.

You're really good!

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

(GASPS) Is it a find?

VO: But it's no easy ride.

XAND VAN TULLEKEN: Hey, come on!

VO: Who will find a hidden gem?

(MIMICS DUCK) Take me with you.

VO: Take the biggest risk?

Have you got a tow truck?

VO: Will anybody follow expert advice?

I might have bought rubbish.

Who knows?

VO: There will be worthy winners... Yay!

Whoo!

VO: ..and valiant losers.

Come on.

Someone else!

Someone!

VO: Put your pedal to the metal!

Aah!

VO: This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.

Yeah!

VO: Today, we're joined by two fleet-footed stars of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.

Husband and wife, Aljaz Skorjanec and Janette Manrara.

Ho-ho!

Did you see that?

There was a bit of a squeak from the tire!

MUSIC: "Let Me Entertain You" by Robbie Williams VO: Do drive carefully, chaps!

That's a 1960 Mercedes 190SL, which predates the time when seat belts were mandatory.

It suits you!

Massive steering wheel.

A little window!

Never going to get out of it now.

All you're going to want to do is get a weekend car now like this!

That would be a dream!

VO: Yes, it is rather swish.

Slovenian Aljaz is a 19-time national ballroom champion and winner of Strictly Come Dancing in 2013.

You're the guy that knows a little bit about everything, so I reckon you're going to be really, really good today.

I'm not sure about haggling, though.

I can't remember the last time I did it because in UK shops it doesn't really work, does it?

No!

VO: Cuban American Janette is a television presenter, choreographer and professional dancer from Miami, Florida.

After finding fame on the US series So You Think You Can Dance, she appeared on eight series of Strictly before becoming co-host on Strictly Come Dancing, It Takes Two.

How competitive are you?

I'm not competitive at all.

ALJAZ: No?

JANETTE (JM): No!

That's why I was only in one final on Strictly!

(THEY LAUGH) VO: And I never made it to the final!

Now, your moment to shine.

I mean, obviously, there's going to be a winner at the end.

Yeah.

And do you care who wins?

I know it's gonna be you.

JM: I'm like... ALJAZ: Don't say that.

Come on, you've got to at least try!

(THEY LAUGH) VO: Sounds like you could do with some expert help.

And I know just the pair.

Are you doing your nails?

I was trying to, but it's a bit bumpy.

You want me to drive a bit more smoothly?

Would you mind?.

You do your nails then.

Go on, I'll let you do them.

IZZIE: David Harper!

DAVID (DH): Sorry about that!

It's the road.

VO: Oh, yeah.

Out for a spin in their 1970 Jaguar E-Type are dealers extraordinaire, David Harper and Izzie Balmer.

How excited are you about...

Yes, go on.

..Aljaz and Janette?

Whooo!

I know, a bit of Strictly Antiques Road Tripping!

How's that?

We are bringing the glamour and the glitz and the sparkle to Antiques Road Trip.

VO: Maybe you'll even learn a few moves.

Now, can you dance, David?

I can...not dance.

What about you?

I see you as very nimble.

I have in the past done sort of like Lindy hop and rock and roll sort of dancing.

DH: Really?

IZZIE: Yes.

OK, alright.

So maybe you can give me some lessons.

Well, I was rather hoping you'd be the strong leader!

Well, I might be able to pick you up and walk with you, but I don't think I'd be able to dance with you!

VO: I expect to see a cha-cha-cha or a foxtrot by the auction, please!

JM: So, if I win... ALJAZ: Yeah.

..you have to take me to the most beautiful, romantic dinner in the city.

ALJAZ: If I win... JM: Yeah, go on.

..if I win, I can go online and I can start looking for my classic car.

Ahhh!

What about that?

I mean, fine.

Deal.

High five.

ALJAZ: Deal?

JM: Deal.

VO: Crumbs, the stakes are high this time!

On this trip, we will be mostly shopping around Oxfordshire.

We begin in Wallingford.

Before a final showdown in Saffron Walden, Essex.

But we're parking up at the Wallingford Arcade.

ALJAZ: Alright?

That was very comfortable, wasn't it?

VO: This is the resident pooch.

Hello, boy.

Don't bite.

Have a sniff.

Right, well, break a leg.

Don't break any China, though.

JM: Alright.

ALJAZ: I'm gonna go meet Izzie.

I'm gonna find David.

ALJAZ: Good luck.

JM: See you.

Good luck.

VO: That's right, time to grab your partners - if you can find them.

Bit of a warren in here.

ALJAZ: Hello, Izzie!

IZZIE: Hello, Aljaz!

ALJAZ: Nice to meet you.

IZZIE: You too!

Hi.

So, have you been around antiques before?

Not really, no.

I mean, I watch the show.

I'm a big fan, Izzie.

Aw, thank you!

Well, likewise!

Nice to meet you.

Have we got any tactics?

No, I don't have a tactic.

I know we have, like, sort of a set amount of money, and then we need to get a few items.

So maybe not spend everything at once at the beginning, which is going to be really hard for me.

Oh, really?

Are you a spender?

Do you like shopping?

I do, and I don't.

Whenever I go to do any shopping, I always tend to get something that is nice, so I can keep it for a long time.

Yeah.

And I know that here we need to get a few items.

So I'm going to have to hold back a little bit, and I really need your advice.

IZZIE: OK. ALJAZ: Please look after me.

Oh, I'm here for that.

I will, I promise to look after you.

And how are you at haggling?

Let's see!

I think I'm gonna be OK!

I think just flash that boyish smile, you'll be absolutely fine.

Work the Aljaz charm.

I hope it's a lady that owns this shop.

Oh, me too.

Absolutely.

VO: They've got their tactics sorted!

What about our other pair?

David?

DH: Oh, hello!

JM: Hello!

Do you normally do this?

Jump out?

I do tend to jump, as a dancer.

This room is magical.

I'm just so excited to start rummaging and looking around.

DH: Shall we go rummaging?

JM: Yes!

OK.

I'm going to follow your lead.

Oh, my gosh, OK. Go on.

Head in that direction.

VO: As well as expert help, both our celebs have £400 to spend.

Let's quickstep to it, shall we?

ALJAZ: Izzie!

IZZIE: Aljaz!

Oh, there you are.

Have you found anything?

I think I have.

What do you reckon to this punch bowl?

I love it.

It's glass.

It's big.

How much is it?

It's cheap!

IZZIE: It's cheap.

ALJAZ: £18.

This is what I like the most, is the cheap part.

Do you know when it was made?

I would say it's probably Edwardian.

It's 1910, 1915-ish.

But what I love is you've got the etched, frosted decoration on it and it's just so elegant, which is very, very typical of the Edwardian period.

But importantly, do you like it?

I mean, this is absolutely gorgeous.

I wish we could fill it up with punch to actually try if it works, which would be amazing.

But should we look at something else as well?

Yeah, why not?

Let's see what else we can find.

I do love it, though.

VO: Well, they seem pleased as punch!

How are Janette and David getting on?

Janette, have you ever heard of an actor called Ernie Lotinga?

JM: No!

No, not very many people have.

But in the day, he was big news.

A big performer on the stage and in movies.

And in the early days of movies, you know, the black and white, non-speaking, silent movies.

VO: Ernie Lotinga was an early 20th century British comedy actor.

In 1921, he had a successful run producing a variety show in Australia.

And this here is, as you probably know, you're looking at the sofa.

You think I'm talking about the sofa, don't you?

Yeah.

What am I looking at?

The boomerang.

Oh, this piece?

Oh, my God.

Have a read of that.

'Ernie Lotinga Esquire, for his great kindness, from Jack Grant, Tivoli Theatre, Melbourne'?

Melbourne, yeah.

This is from Melbourne?

And it's dated, I believe?

It's dated December 1929.

DH: Right.

JM: Wow.

Now, that is at the height of Ernie's fame.

Oh, this is a very special piece.

I think it's special.

I mean, first one of the day, and pretty good already!

Yeah!

JM: I love that.

DH: I do.

Let's talk about price.

VO: 48 on the ticket.

Well, I think it's a very good contender.

I really like it.

But I want to see what else we can find first.

DH: OK. Leave it there.

JM: Yeah.

It's safe and sound.

I'll follow you.

OK, let's go.

VO: We'll see if that comes back around later!

In the meanwhile, there's more shop to explore.

ALJAZ: Oh, hello!

JM: Oh, hi.

Oh, hello, ljubica.

What is that?

This is an understated headpiece, which I think suits me.

And I think I'm going to go for this gorgeous hat, darling!

Oh, beautiful!

ALJAZ: Very you!

JM: That is very you!

I think so.

How's it going with the shopping?

Yeah, it's going alright.

How's yours?

Yeah, it's going alright.

Yeah?

Have you found anything?

Well, some items that I think you would actually love!

How many items?

Maybe two.

OK. What about you?

18.

JM: No, you did not!

ALJAZ: Yeah, we did.

I thought we said we're not going to be competitive with each other.

We're not.

Just as we're not competitive with hats.

Great hat, though.

I think you win the hat action!

It's actually a headpiece that you're wearing.

ALJAZ: Is that a...?

JM: This is a hat.

You're wearing a headpiece.

OK.

I'm going to go back.

Can you keep it on?

Wow.

OK.

I'm gonna go back.

VO: Back to business, please.

Izzie, what's that?

That looks beautiful.

Ah, you've got good taste, Aljaz!

This is a game dish or a pie dish.

They originated sort of in the early 1800s when we were at war with France and it was really difficult to import flour.

And flour became very, very expensive.

So unless you were very, very wealthy, you couldn't really afford to make pastry.

You know, we're British.

We all love a pie.

But how can you have a pie without pastry?

Because flour for the pastry.

So what they did, because flour was so expensive, they made these pots, these dishes, that were made to look like the pastry.

Then you'd pop your filling inside, steak and ale, chicken and leek, whatever you fancy.

Pop it inside and then you've got your lid on and you sort of have this as your pie without your pastry.

Is there a maker's mark on it at all?

On the bottom?

Let me see.

Oh, yeah.

Villy... Villyvoyt.

IZZIE: Pillyvee?

ALJAZ: That's exactly...

I might be pronouncing it wrong.

VO: It's pronounced "Pillyveet," actually.

Pillivuyt are the makers.

They were established in 1818 by two brothers, who were Swiss, actually.

The pheasant, grouse, bird head is hand-painted and there is a market for these.

Pie dishes are really collectable.

So I think it probably depends on the price of it, really.

ALJAZ: Well, it's £29.

I think it's worth a shot.

Should we get it or should we keep looking?

Izzie, I think we need to get this one.

I think it looks beautiful.

It's a gorgeous little piece.

And I like the little sort of tie in with the pies.

I think that's great.

IZZIE: Let's go for it.

ALJAZ: Let's go.

If I don't break it.

VO: OK, Aljaz, time to work that boyish charm on Rita, the dealer.

ALJAZ: Hello, Rita.

RITA: Hi, Aljaz.

Scared you there!

I'm sorry.

So, first of all, you have a beautiful antique shop.

It's absolutely stunning.

Thank you.

And we found a couple of items.

This is one of them.

What is this again?

IZZIE: A game dish.

ALJAZ: It's a game dish!

And we found a punch bowl as well.

Lovely.

And the prices are, this one is £29, and the other one is £18.

But I'm really bad at maths, though.

What does that come up to?

VO: £47.

Yeah, I'll do that one for 20.

The 18, it'll have to be 15.

I can do that maths.

That's 35.

Yeah, that's 35.

Thank you!

That's a great deal.

VO: 35 spent, leaving £365.

IZZIE: Thank you so much.

RITA: It's been a pleasure.

Pleasure doing business with you.

RITA: You too.

ALJAZ: Thank you so much.

Let's go!

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Bye bye.

VO: Two lots in the bag, that's a great start from Aljaz.

Adios, Amigos!

Now, back with Janette and David.

JM: What is this?

What is this...?

This, I believe, is a Jack Russell.

Oh, that's adorable!

Oh!

I'm drawn to this one.

OK. Tell me why.

Well, firstly, I like the copper colors of it.

I like it.

I like the design.

But it says it's a tea caddy, an Indian silver tea caddy.

DH: I think it's absolutely gorgeous.

And that, to me, looks very Anglo-Indian.

Yes.

In your expert opinion, do you think this could possibly sell well in an auction?

OK, how much is it?

JM: It's £68.

DH: 68.

I think it's all the money, as we would say in the world of antiques.

VO: Meaning there's not much room for profit.

The one thing it is missing is its liner.

Ah.

It would have a liner in there, like a lead liner or a tin liner.

JM: Protect the tea.

DH: But that's OK.

It could be a little jewelry box.

It could be a trinket box, it could be a biscuit box.

It could just be a nice sculptural thing.

It doesn't necessarily have to be used for tea?

It absolutely will never be used for tea ever again.

It's just a thing of beauty.

I think it's a cool thing.

I love the combination.

It's exotic, it's different.

Yes, it's quirky.

Mm.

And if you think you're good at negotiating...

I'm not, but I'm going to give it a good go.

Give it a go.

Shall we give it a go?

Yeah.

Go on.

Let's give this one a go.

DH: Follow me!

JM: OK. VO: Let's see if Rita's still feeling generous.

JM: Hi!

RITA: Hi.

So, I've got a question about this amazing tea caddy.

Really intrigued to buy off of you.

It's priced at £68.

I wonder if I can offer you £45 for it.

VO: That's a bit strong!

RITA: Ooh.

DH: Ooh.

That's a bit of a shock!

I don't know who's shocked more!

No.

Well, it's up to you!

How about 55?

Should we lock in 55?

RITA: That'd be great.

DH: Right.

You've done it.

Well done.

Well done.

DH: Now then, boomerang.

RITA: Boomerang.

DH: A boomerang.

JM: It's priced at 48.

But, you know, it's a beautiful piece.

It is.

48, could we start at 35?

Oooh!

Oh?

Was that a pleasant surprise?

Yeah, it was.

35, fair enough?

That's really good.

Well done!

Look at you!

I'm going to take you shopping every day!

(THEY LAUGH) Great!

VO: Well done, Janette.

That's £90 in total for the tea caddy and the boomerang.

JM: We've done well!

DH: Well done, you did well!

VO: That leaves this pair with £310 to shop with.

DH: Safe and sound.

Let's see if it closes.

VO: Toodle-oo!

Izzie and her petrolhead companion are taking a time-out from shopping, steering the Mercedes towards a mecca of British motoring... ..Abingdon on Thames.

This town was once home to a maverick mechanic and visionary salesman who changed the way we see cars forever.

Manufactured here for over 50 years, we are, of course, referring to the mighty MG. John Day, president of the MG Car Club, will tell us how it all began.

ALJAZ: Hello, John.

JOHN: Hello, Izzie.

Hello, Aljaz.

Good to see you.

There are two key players in the MG story.

William Morris, famous for founding Morris Cars, and Cecil Kimber, who was initially an employee of the company.

I have to tell you, Morris Cars, they were beautifully made in that period, vintage period, very good materials.

But they were slightly dull, they were ordinary.

They were meant to take people for journeys.

Kimber was very much of the idea that cars could be fun.

He said that a car should look like it's doing 70mph when it's stationary.

Yes, these look outdated to us now, but in their time these were the epitome of style and class.

And it shouted, "I like speed!"

VO: Kimber was a motorcyclist at heart with a passion for going fast.

He tuned Morris' cars to get better performance, repackaging them into smaller, racier models.

At a time when most carmakers were aiming at a broad market, Kimber created a new product for a previously nonexistent market.

He created the first affordable sports car.

When was the real heyday of MG?

I would answer that it's never stopped.

But the moment when MG became such a well-known brand was in the 1930s because MG had gone from selling modified Morrises to cars that could go quite well and because they could go quite well, specialist people started tuning them, they went faster and faster.

So you can imagine the momentum this built up.

VO: Kimber understood that racing could give his sports cars credibility.

In 1931, land speed record breaker George Eyston would set new records driving MG's Magic Midget cars.

During World War II, American troops in Britain fell in love with the MG, driving a post-war sales boom, which made MG the number one sports car in the USA.

The one that's really caught my eye is this red one - it's beautiful.

VO: The MGA, built in the '50s, predating seat belts.

JOHN: Shall we go for a spin?

ALJAZ: I'm in.

ALJAZ: Let's do it.

JOHN: Good.

Let's go.

ALJAZ: Sorry, Izzie.

IZZIE: No, go have fun!

I'm sorry.

Look, my shoes are matching and everything!

Bye, Izzie, I'll be back.

Yee-ha!

Nice!

There we go.

You like that, don't you?

When did you fall in love with the MG?

When I was old enough to afford one, which is about when I was 30 years old.

VO: Tragically, Kimber died in a train accident in 1945.

However, his legacy lived on.

The 1955 MGA and MGB were the most popular sports cars of their time.

And where MG blazed a trail, others followed, with the Austin-Healey Sprite and Triumph TR2 emulating MG's success.

What was it about the MG specifically that drew your attention?

I suppose it's...

It's the dream, isn't it?

It's the...

It's the open car, the sound of that lovely exhaust note.

It's the driving experience.

It's a whole package of reasons why.

VO: One dark day in 1980, the final MGs rolled off the line in Abingdon and the factory closed.

In the end, Morris and Kimber didn't just make a great car, they also shaped a generation of sports cars.

Classics, which can still be seen whizzing down the back lanes of Britain.

It's a very, very nice car, this MGA 1959.

Look at that!

Look at that!

Get in!

What a beautiful car!

VO: From one British motoring icon to another... Janette and David are in the E-Type.

Did you come to the UK purely for Strictly?

I did.

Well, I came to the UK many years ago, about 12 years ago actually to do a show in the West End.

And that's when the producers then found me and brought me on board to the show.

This would have been my tenth year on Strictly if I was still competing as a professional dancer.

DH: Right.

JM: Yeah.

But it was amazing because my family's Cuban.

JM: I'm from Miami.

DH: Yeah.

I think I pretty much started dancing as soon as I was able to start walking.

Did you really?

There was no escaping the dancing in a Cuban household.

DH: It is a Cuban thing.

JM: Oh, yes.

Yes.

And as my mum would say... (CUBAN ACCENT) ..she was dancing since she could walk because my mum has a heavy, heavy Latina accent.

Right.

Yes.

And she would love you, David.

DH: Oh, I would love her.

JM: She would love you.

Miss Manrara would love you.

VO: All the mums love David!

These two are en route to Oxford - a beautiful city with stunning architecture, history and culture.

JM: Alright.

DH: There you go.

Look.

DH: Look up.

JM: Antiques On High.

Yeah.

VO: After leaving the motor around the corner, they're making it to this place.

An Oxford institution since 1997, Janette and David still have £310 to spend in here.

Vincent is the owner, and he stocks a veritable smorgasbord of antiques to choose from.

Oh, stylish.

Right, Janette.

Let me show you some pair of candlesticks that I think are devastatingly stylish.

JM: Ooh!

DH: Tell me what YOU think.

Oh, do you know, I like the color.

DH: Color's good.

JM: And what is it made of?

Because it's got loads of cracks in it.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's fine.

It's on purpose that way.

Yes.

It's just in the glaze.

Ah!

It's old glaze.

These are art nouveau.

So from the art nouveau arts and crafts period, late 19th century.

Oh!

Really, that far back?

Yes.

Made possibly when Queen Victoria was on the throne.

So you think of Queen Victoria, you think of things being old-fashioned and black.

These are pink and funky.

Now, I saw the ticket.

Tell me, did I misread this?

DH: How much?

JM: This says 40 quid.

40 quid.

Absolutely... JM: For the two of them?

DH: For the two of them.

Absolutely...

I feel like this is an obvious... ..winner-winner, chicken dinner!

Winner-winner, chicken dinner?

That's another one of my favorite sayings.

I'm having that one.

Yeah.

(THEY LAUGH) JM: Right.

You take one, I'll take the other one.

We're gonna have them, aren't we?

We're in.

Come on.

Before someone else buys them.

VO: They'll leave those by the till.

Now, I'm sure there's something else to be found.

Ooh.

What's this about?

VO: That's Chinese cinnabar lacquer.

Known for its striking color, the pigmentation comes from mercury sulfide.

It's been made in China for thousands of years.

JM: David... DH: Ooh.

Oh, hello.

What do you think?

I like it instantaneously, but tell me, why do you like it?

Just feels really ancient.

Yeah.

Like there's so many years on this.

I would say so.

What does your expert eye say to you?

Well, that's 19th century, 150 years old.

A nice metal dish, and then overlaid, or rather dripped, literally dripped onto it, lacquer.

It's called cinnabar lacquer - that lovely luscious red.

I love this.

Now, cinnabar is prone to chipping, so...

It's got a little bit in the back, doesn't it?

Yeah.

OK.

There is.

I can be forgiving.

JM: I saw the price.

Oh, it's ridiculous!

Absolutely ridiculous.

JM: Do you reckon?

DH: Yes.

It's too cheap.

It's...

So we should take it before they realize?

Yes, we should.

We should.

And your eye is doing very well.

I got better.

I was nervous.

Sometimes it wavers.

VO: Browsing done - time for a deal.

(BELL DINGS) VINCENT: Oh, Lord!

DH: Cruel.

I love surprises.

Yeah.

Don't you just!

Well, first off, you have a beautiful shop.

Thank you.

JM: We found so many things.

VINCENT: Good.

But this was the one that we fell in love with.

This amazing Chinese...plate.

VINCENT: Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

JM: It's gorgeous.

And the price is fantastic.

Yeah, absolutely.

Of course.

JM: £25.

VINCENT: Yeah.

And we also love the two candle holders.

Oh, so they're 40.

JM: Yeah, so... VINCENT: That's 25.

Yeah.

So 65 for the two, then.

VO: Well, that was easy.

65 spent and 245 remaining.

Thank you very much.

DH: Brilliant.

JM: I think we've done well.

We have done very well.

Vince, always good to see you.

DH: Thanks a lot.

Take care, David.

Cheers.

Thank you.

Bye.

JM: Alright!

DH: That's it.

I think we did well.

I think we've done phenomenally well.

DH: It's celebration time.

JM: Yeah.

VO: Well done, Janette.

You're a natural at all this antiques business.

I think that the punch bowl is gonna do really well.

IZZIE: It's nice, isn't it?

ALJAZ: Very nice.

How are you feeling?

Has that worn you out or you've got loads more energy?

No, I...

I actually really, really enjoyed myself and never thought I was going to like it as much as I do, actually.

DH: Fantastic!

I want...

I want more now.

All I want to do now is just go from antique store to antique store.

VO: Aren't we all?!

Nighty night.

VO: It's morning and our Strictly couple are reunited back in the Merc.

JM: New day.

ALJAZ: New dawn.

JM: New shops.

ALJAZ: New shops.

New antiques to check out.

And a beautiful day!

Yeah, the sun's out today.

It's nice.

VO: And how we feeling on day two of our shopping spree?

I think this is the first time in our lives that we are actually seriously, I mean, competing against each other, isn't it?

Someone's gonna have to win.

But more than anything, I just love doing this with you.

Aw!

I... Driving this beautiful car, meeting David and Izzie.

I've loved it.

Yeah, but I'm still feeling a bit competitive.

I'm not going to lie.

I didn't think I would, but I feel it a little bit.

VO: Glad to hear it.

Now, let's see if those experts are awake.

Gosh, David, I don't know what's louder - the V12 engine or your shirt!

How was your day yesterday?

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

How was your day?

We bought two items yesterday and we were actually really happy to pay the full ticket price for them.

Yeah.

And he just sort of smiled at her, was about to pay the money, and she said, "Oh, well, actually, you can have that for that and that for that."

Ah!

That is brilliant.

So he didn't even ask for a discount and yet his boyish, charming smile... DH: Oh, I'm so jealous of that.

IZZIE: ..just got money off.

I'm so jealous of that.

If I tried that, they'd put the price up.

VO: Well, let's be fair, David, you don't look quite like Aljaz!

Now, back with the Merc for a bit of show and tell.

JM: Oh!

ALJAZ: Oh!

Hello.

ALJAZ: Is that a boomerang?

JM: It's a boomerang.

And it's got an amazing... ALJAZ: It's beautiful.

JM: Yeah.

It was handmade in Australia - in Melbourne.

ALJAZ: Did you try it?

JM: No!

No!

ALJAZ: OK. JM: It's a collector's item.

VO: What a kidder, eh?

And that's not all Janette acquired.

(BELL DINGS) (SHE LAUGHS) VO: She also bought a pair of candlestick holders, a Chinese cinnabar dish, and an Anglo-Indian tea caddy... Well done, you!

I'm going to take you shopping every day.

Great!

VO: ..while Aljaz purchased an Edwardian punch bowl, and a French game dish.

Thank you so much!

Let's go.

JM: A game dish game.

ALJAZ: Game.

Yeah, you can't put the PlayStation in there.

No, you don't put PlayStation in there, like, they would...

It was for pies.

Well, you bought a boomerang!

I think I'm smashing it.

Sorry.

JM: Just saying.

ALJAZ: OK. ALJAZ: I think we did that.

JM: Yep.

Let's put that back down.

Don't be sad.

VO: Oops.

Trouble in paradise.

Let's get back to the shopping, shall we?

Aljaz is dropping Janette off en route and making his way to Upper Wardington on the outskirts of the historic market town of Banbury.

With £365 in his pocket, he's meeting Izzie at the Banbury Antiques Centre.

Multiple dealers operate out of here dispensing an array of fine antiques, collectables and vintage items.

Hey.

Hey.

You look like you need a partner.

Exactly what I need.

Do you want to play?

IZZIE: I'd love to.

ALJAZ: Go on.

OK, so my...

I don't...

There's probably, like, a rule that I should do because you've gone there.

I'm just going to go there.

Perfect.

Now, I spotted this because when I was little, my grandpa taught me how to play chess.

Yeah.

And it was kind of our little thing.

Oh, I love what you've done here, Aljaz.

You've picked a games table for us to play on.

I mean, it's like... brings back so many beautiful memories.

I'm not too sure how old it is, though.

This one I would call vintage.

I don't think it's that old.

It looks like it's probably been made from plywood or something, doesn't it?

Uh-huh.

But I love that even the...

I mean, this one's got a heart in.

Have the other sides got the diamond and...

They have their own little... Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean...

So I would call it vintage, but game tables, they go back hundreds of years and you can get some really beautiful sort of Georgian games tables that can sell for lots of money.

And this is sort of a modern version of those, really.

So is this a contender?

Do you... Are you thinking of buying or are we just passing the time of day?

It's a little bit expensive.

What is it priced at?

It's a price of 120.

Well, I think, you know, you love it.

And that's always important when buying.

Some people would say buy with the head, but I think it's important to buy a bit with the heart as well.

ALJAZ: Yeah.

Just one.

IZZIE: Exactly.

So why don't we keep looking?

We know it's here.

Not quite ready for checkmate yet.

No, I like what you did there.

Nice.

Nice.

IZZIE: I'll go this way.

ALJAZ: I'll go that way.

VO: Leave some jokes for me, Izzie!

These pithy one-liners don't write themselves, you know.

ALJAZ: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh, I know what you've found.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I think I know what you're thinking.

Have you ever auctioned a feather boa?

IZZIE: No.

ALJAZ: No?

IZZIE: No.

Have you?

ALJAZ: No.

Have you ever danced with a feather boa?

No.

Do you want to do it?

IZZIE: Yes!

ALJAZ: Go on.

Do you mind if I take the pink one?

No, I think you should definitely...

The pink suits you so much better.

Oh, thank you.

Shall we do some dancing?

OK, but I can't dance.

ALJAZ: Trust me.

IZZIE: OK. Trust me.

I'm Slovenian.

VO: This should be interesting.

Have you ever done a salsa?

IZZIE: Nope.

ALJAZ: Come on.

So...starting with the left.

Going forward.

And forward and back.

Back and forward.

Side and close.

Brilliant.

Side and close.

Little shimmy.

Go.

OK.

I'm shaking my bum!

That was a great shimmy.

If...

If you agree, Izzie, I think we should keep these feather boas on for... Oh, absolutely.

..the rest of the browsing.

I think we should, too.

In fact, I'm going to salsa my way around the shop.

Da-da-da!

VO: It's a seven out of ten for me.

Fun over now.

Put the boas away.

Go on, children.

Ooh, Aljaz, what have you found?

I found this hand rest.

What do you think?

I very much like it as a hand rest.

Yeah.

However, I've got some news to break to you, Aljaz.

Tell me.

IZZIE: It isn't a hand rest.

ALJAZ: No?

What it is... We call it a torchere.

And you would use it to display a plant pot, basically, or a jardiniere.

So put a plant on there.

Some people nowadays might use them as a telephone table.

You could always pop a telephone on there, but it's basically a stand used to display something.

So actually you're right, you could display your hand on it.

What I really like about this one is it's mahogany and you've got these lovely claw and ball feet on the bottom.

The Victorians absolutely loved using that sort of claw and ball feet on the base of things.

And then, I mean, it's just...

It's very sort of...

It screams 19th century design in it and it actually does look like it's got some decent age to it as well.

Sort of beautifully carved leaves here.

You've got this writhen, reeded design here.

I think it's a nice piece.

How much is it, Aljaz?

Well, it's priced at... 120.

Ooh, you're picking the expensive items today.

Are we trying to blow the cash?

I don't know.

But I just really like it, though.

So I think it's one of those ones it's a little bit of a risk.

But if you like it and if we get a good price for it, then I think it's worth going for.

ALJAZ: Shall we go for it?

IZZIE: Why not?

Maybe if we auction it as an actual hand rest because no one else has done that before.

Exactly.

I bet no-one's ever seen a hand rest before.

This is a rare, unique hand rest.

I know how to do that.

Look!

VO: Sounds like it's time to get owner Peter involved.

Hello, Peter.

Hey!

How are you getting on?

Very good.

Beautiful shop.

You're very kind.

We found a few things that we like - two specifically.

First one was the old games desk, and the second one is this beautiful torcher... IZZIE: Torchere.

PETER: Torchere.

Torchere.

That was good, that.

Touche torcher.

And we would love to get both.

The price is 120 on each.

Now, if we could get this down to, I don't know, maybe 80 per item, would that work?

If you could come up a little bit, just by £10?

ALJAZ: To 170?

PETER: To 170.

I think I can make it work.

ALJAZ: We've got a deal.

PETER: It's a deal.

Thank you very much.

You're so welcome.

VO: Very generous, Peter.

£85 on each item.

ALJAZ: Thank you.

IZZIE: Bye bye.

I'll take the torcher.

VO: Aljaz is left with £195 and those purchases will be packaged up later.

Well done, you.

Two items!

I think we did really well.

And you did a great haggle.

There's no stopping us now.

No.

On a roll.

VO: We'll see them in a bit.

But now let's check out with the E-Type.

Janette and David have arrived in Stratford-upon-Avon... ..hometown of the Bard himself, William Shakespeare.

But it's another local literary great we have come to learn about.

A Victorian bestseller, an eccentric local celebrity who once glided down the Avon in this - a Venetian gondola.

Oh, my!

Boat master Nick, dressed for the part, will explain more.

DH: It's gorgeous.

Now, that is a very flash-looking gondola, Nick.

Who did she belong to originally?

Well, originally she belonged to an author who lived in Stratford called Marie Corelli, and she lived here between 1899 and 1924.

And, at the end of the Victorian period, she was the world's best-selling novelist.

I mean, it's fantastic.

It's the only one that looks the way it does, doesn't it?

Where did it come from?

Yeah, well, it's quite unusual.

It did come from Venice.

It was built in Venice in 1904 for an exhibition in London and sent over, we think, by train or boat.

And Marie Corelli bought it at an auction after the fair and brought it to Stratford to put on the river to show off.

VO: Marie Corelli was christened Mary Mackay in 1855.

But soon after her first successful novel was published, she reinvented herself by taking on an Italian persona.

Her work was often sneered at by critics, but she wrote 30 best-selling novels and counted Queen Victoria and prime minister Winston Churchill amongst her readers.

Well, we can see it looks very different, Nick.

Is it particularly different or is it just on the surface?

It is a bit different because, in Venice, all gondolas are a standard size.

They're 36 feet long and this one is only two thirds the size, 24 feet long.

And we think that's just for ease of shipping over here.

But that does make it unique in the world because it's the only one which exists like that.

So our colleagues in Venice are fascinated by it.

So do we get to go on a little ride in it?

Absolutely.

We can go out for a spin.

JM: Shall we?

DH: Absolutely, yes.

Let's go, then.

Yes!

VO: Corelli's life contained many of the hallmarks of contemporary celebrity - fame, fortune and famous fans, like Oscar Wilde.

She arrived in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1899 and fascinated the locals with her eccentricities, as she was often seen being ferried about in her beloved gondola.

Now, this is...

It's similar, you know, when we look at an item in an antique shop... DH: Yeah.

..and you hold it in your hand.

You know how we were saying, you kind of... JM: It speaks to you sometimes.

DH: Yes.

You feel the artistry, you feel the maker, you feel the story behind it.

DH: Yeah.

Sitting in this gondola gives me that same kind of feeling.

There's a history in it.

And you feel it sat down, don't you?

Yes.

And we're connected to the soul of this gondola.

And this gondola has lived on these waters for how long, Nick?

Well, she's been here since 1904.

JM: Wow.

DH: 1904!

She only spent a few years on the river because when the Italian gondolier who came with the boat got into a fight and was sent home by Mary Corelli... DH: Great!

..her gardener took over as gondolier.

DH: Right.

JM: Oh!

And he was unfortunately killed in the First World War in 1917.

And Mary Corelli never used the boat after that.

VO: When Corelli died on the 21st of April 1924, her fame had already somewhat dimmed as literary trends moved on.

She left her estate to long-term partner Bertha Vyver, and when she died in 1942, the gondola was auctioned off and disappeared.

DH: Wow.

JM: Right.

Well, thank you, Nick.

That was absolutely fantastic.

Was it a good experience?

I loved that.

How did it end up back in Stratford?

Well, I started some research on Marie Corelli about 20 years ago, even more, and managed to track down the gondola through a couple of leads to London.

But then, about 12 years ago, Marie Corelli's gondola came up for auction.

And so straight away we went and bid for it and made sure we got it to bring to Stratford.

We restored it and put it back on the river here.

JM: Oh!

DH: That's ama... Amazing story and a great final circle.

An auction!

Oh, my gosh.

So we think it's very apt that the boat's back here, reminding people about Marie Corelli and her swanning up and down the river, showing off, which is, I think, what she loved to do.

I think she'd appreciate two fellow show-offs as well... Oh, yeah.

DH: ..boating.

JM: We loved it.

(THEY LAUGH) I'm sure she'd have loved to have you on board.

Do you think we could push our luck and get another go?

Actually, yes.

Can we use it to go to the next shop we're going to?

Why not?

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

Thank you.

Before he changes his mind!

VO: Today, Marie is once again being recognized for her extraordinary place in Victorian literary society.

And her gondola rides the water once more in her adopted hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon.

And just a few miles down river... ..Aljaz and Izzie are motoring on to their next destination.

What is the strategy for the final buy?

IZZIE: We go in there.

ALJAZ: Yeah.

IZZIE: We scout out the joint.

ALJAZ: Yep.

And then you will bring out the piece de la resistance, which is the Aljaz charm.

VO: Not sure that's playing fair!

Anyhow, these two are heading to Warwickshire's county town, Warwick.

IZZIE: Here we are.

It looks a good one.

Oh, beautiful!

ALJAZ: After you.

IZZIE: Thank you.

VO: They have £195 to shop with at the Warwick Antique Centre.

Okeydokey, then.

What's this?

Oh, what do you have there?

Do you know what?

Something about this pair...

I don't know why.

..but it reminds me of you.

I think it's because he's such a dapper, good-looking chap.

And then you've got his lady here and the costumes are just so over the top, and beautiful and elegant and Strictly is all about over the top and glamour and sparkle.

And I don't know, I just quite like them.

Do reckon this is in our price range?

I highly doubt it.

But, hey, you never know.

Let me see.

I can't see a price on this one.

Let me see if I lift it.

Oh, there we are!

It says £450 for the pair.

We'll put it back down.

Hide the price quickly.

But that's beautiful, though.

Let's... Let's keep looking.

Keep looking.

Thank you.

Thank you for your time.

VO: Meanwhile, Janette and David have also arrived at their final stop off in Wootton Wawen.

This is Sims Vintage Antique Centre.

And this is it.

This is it.

Go on in.

VO: It's a family-run business with over 50 resident dealers and is packed full of cracking stuff.

I'm ready for war.

VO: She means business.

What's this?

David spotted something.

Coming through, everybody, coming through.

Whoa!

This is a monster of a weight and a monster of a beast.

Let me help you.

Wait, wait, wait.

Oh!

DH: Tell me what you think.

JM: Oh.

JM: What is that?

DH: It's a dog.

It's a dog.

It's a mythical dog.

A Shishi dog.

Or it could be called a Buddhistic dog, a foo.

JM: What?

DH: It's a mythical beast.

I've never heard of it.

It's fantastic.

VO: It's fearsome.

The traditional foo dogs are actually lions, yet they resemble Chow Chow and Shih Tzu, which led them to be called foo dogs in English.

DH: It's a protector dog, but if he's your dog, Janette, he's going to look after you.

Oh, so he like a protector of the home.

A protector dog.

Date-wise, they've been making Shishi dogs, Buddhistic lion dogs like this for well before the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty, 1368 to 1644.

Yeah.

So, you know, 1,000 years or more.

I think he's probably more vintage.

JM: Oh, really?

DH: You know, 50 years old, something like that.

JM: OK. VO: Reduced from £100 to £50.

Interesting.

I'm worried about the price going down, though.

Isn't that a sign that people aren't buying it?

Yes.

Yes.

JM: No?

DH: Yes.

But maybe just not the right person has been in the shop.

JM: Mm.

The mythology behind these things is fascinating.

Well, I have to admit, David, you are very passionate about it.

I love it.

If you are very passionate about it, you're the expert, you're the guide.

I'm going to go with your gut.

DH: I think we should buy him.

JM: You think so?

DH: I really do.

JM: OK, I'm in.

DH: Happy?

JM: I'm in.

We've got a Shishi dog, named David, to sell.

David, the dog.

(SHE LAUGHS) JM: I'm in.

DH: Good.

You're in.

Done.

VO: And while they track down the dealer, we'll catch up with Aljaz and Izzie, who still have £195.

Oh, wow!

Izzie, I think I've finally found a pocket watch.

IZZIE: Oh!

ALJAZ: Beautiful.

Well, it's not a pocket watch, but it is a really interesting item.

It's a vesta case.

So it's been modeled as a pocket watch, and it's actually that style of watch you would call a half-hunter.

So you have an open-faced pocket watch, which is when you can see the full face.

Then when it's got a cover on, like that with a hole in the middle, that's called a half-hunter and then a full hunter is when that cover would be all silver and you can't see any of the face.

But this is not an actual watch?

No, it's not.

So if you open up the lid... Should have a flip, like a flip hinge.

ALJAZ: Yeah.

It does.

Look at that!

You keep your matches inside.

And then on the base, there will be a striker.

Oh, yeah.

Look.

You strike them along there.

ALJAZ: For matches.

IZZIE: Yes.

But I love that it's even got its own Albert chain, to, you know, to look like a pocket watch.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

ALJAZ: I think that's really cool.

I would say it's probably going to be late 19th, early 20th century.

It's white metal.

So that does not look to be silver to me.

OK.

I think it's a really fun novelty item.

ALJAZ: It is £85.

That's not too bad for a novelty vesta case.

Vesta cases, I would probably put that into auction with a guide of £50 to £70.

ALJAZ: OK. Is this a potential or is this an actual buy?

I think that's an actual buy.

Shall we go and see what the best price is?

Yes.

VO: Time for you to speak with Colin, the man in the Panama hat.

ALJAZ: Hello, Colin.

COLIN: Oh, hi.

You've decided on something, have you?

We have.

We did find something.

That's a nice item, actually, that.

ALJAZ: Yeah.

COLIN: Really good.

I think it's such a beautiful piece.

What is your best price on it?

How about 75?

ALJAZ: £75?

Deal?

COLIN: Deal.

Come on.

VO: And that's Aljaz all shopped up with £120 to spare.

Nice to see you.

Yeah.

Goodo.

All the best.

Thank you so much.

You've made him a happy man.

Thank you very much.

Cheers.

IZZIE: We're done!

ALJAZ: We did it!

Yes!

VO: Meanwhile, Janette and David still have some business to conclude.

They have their eyes on the discounted foo dog, remember.

JM: Hello.

COLIN: Hello.

Hi.

Beautiful shop, isn't it?

DH: Great shop.

JM: So many nice things.

Thank you.

But we fell in love with the Shishi dog.

You have.

The tiny one.

JM: It's so heavy!

DH: The tiny, light one.

JM: It's massive!

COLIN: It is.

It's got a price tag of 50, which we think is fair enough.

Yeah.

I assume there's no more.

No, we've just dropped it down to that price.

It's a big beast, literally, and we've just got to move it on now.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, I tried to lift it and I couldn't.

I'm pretty strong.

That's what David's for, though.

Yeah.

I'm the mule in this operation.

Yeah.

So if it's alright with you, £50?

That would be wonderful.

VO: Well, that was easy.

But that dog ain't gonna fit in the Jag, I can tell you.

Thank you, both.

Good to see you both.

Thank you.

VO: We'll have it sent on to the saleroom separately.

There you go.

All done.

We did it - we did well.

Come on, you.

Let's go auctioning.

Let's go.

VO: Both our teams have done all they can.

Now it's in the lap of the auction gods.

Have you been to an auction before?

No.

So you must tell me quickly, what can I expect at the auction?

Well, expect your adrenaline to go absolutely ballistic.

Really?

Because you have no control.

You've just made me very nervous now.

It is nerve-racking, but it's exciting.

I love it.

It's like a live show.

You have been great - on it with the buying.

I think we've been great.

We've been such a good team.

Aw, I think so too.

VO: Some lovely profits at auction would be the cherry on the cake.

Time for some shut-eye.

VO: Let's tango, baby!

It's auction day.

JM: Well, it's a beautiful day.

ALJAZ: Beautiful day.

Let's find out who is the winner.

Ooh.

Because, remember, we made a bet.

Yeah, we did.

If I win, you have to take me for a gorgeous dinner to a beautiful restaurant anywhere in the world.

(HE LAUGHS) JM: But if you win... ALJAZ: Yes.

..you said, "I get to look for a classic car", so you can look all you want if you win.

Great.

VO: We said cheerio to Oxfordshire, and while their prized possessions head to the Chilterns, to Tring, we're making our way to Essex and some lovely ornamental gardens just outside Saffron Walden to meet some lovely antique experts.

JM: Alright.

ALJAZ: We've arrived.

We've arrived.

ALL: Hello!

Hello!

DH: Oh.

JM: Hiya.

DH: Hello.

ALJAZ: Good morning.

This is exciting.

And I didn't imagine it to be in a beautiful garden.

No, it's not normally like this.

Yeah.

VO: While they get their viewing tablets ready at Bridgend Gardens, let's pop over to Tring Market Auctions, where bidders wait in the room and online under the supervision of auctioneer Stephen Hearn.

(GAVEL) Aljaz and Izzie spent a cool £280 on five lots.

Anything catch your eye, Stephen?

The art deco glass punchbowl and ladle, just right for the punch at this time of the year, these long summer evenings.

What's better than having a good punch out of that bowl?

VO: Meanwhile, Janette and David only spent £205 on their five lots.

VO: Stephen?

STEPHEN (SH): The Wardle pink glazed candlesticks, they're nice quality.

We'll see how they go.

They'll fetch a reasonable sum.

VO: Superb.

Now back with the gang, as we get ready to rumba.

DH: Shall we do it?

JM: Let's do it.

See who wins the competition.

JM: Oh, gosh.

ALJAZ: Good luck.

High five.

VO: Up first, Janette's pink glazed ceramic candlesticks.

Gorgeous, aren't they?

They are very you, Janette.

In fact, no, I lie.

They're very you, David.

David, you must have chosen these.

I think I saw them first.

But it was a joint decision, wasn't it?

Yeah.

I like the color.

At £20 and two.

And five.

Go on.

Come on.

At £30 now.

Two I've got as well.

At £32, then.

We're going to have to sell them.

It's a bit of a loss.

At £32.

Thank you.

DH: Ooh!

JM: Agh!

VO: Well, at least it's only a small loss.

I thought they'd make 60 myself.

JM: Did you?

DH: I did.

That's what I thought.

But there you go.

VO: Let's see if Aljaz fares any better with his opening gambit, the games table.

There you are.

That's a nice one to introduce to you.

See, he thinks it's lovely.

Over to you.

40, 30 I'm bid.

He's got 30.

Five and eight now.

38.

And 40 and two now.

At £48 and 50.

It's going then for the £48.

Yes.

Thank you.

Wow.

I thought Janette said she wasn't competitive.

Look at that!

I thought I wasn't either.

VO: Oh, dear.

Let's move on swiftly, shall we?

Oh, guys!

No, you can't fake it now.

We saw the reaction.

We saw the delight.

DH: The sincerity is dreadful.

ALJAZ: Yeah.

VO: Hopefully, we'll see some profit on Janette's cinnabar dish.

Listen, if the world is sane, that should make £50 to £80.

JM: Do you reckon?

DH: It should do.

£40, £30, £20 for it.

£20 for it.

Where are we going to start?

Anybody out there for £10 for it?

A tenner I'm bid.

15, I have.

At £15.

Are you coming back?

DH: Come on.

SH: No.

OK.

It's going to have to be down then.

I'm selling it at the £15, then.

Thank you.

DH: Oh!

JM: Oh, no!

VO: Tough crowd today.

JM: That hurts.

DH: It's heartbreaking.

JM: That hurts.

DH: Heartbreaking.

It looked good there for a while, though.

And then it went all the way down.

VO: Right.

The auctioneer tipped Aljaz's punchbowl to do well.

Here's hoping.

How many people do you know use a punchbowl?

JM: Well, I mean... IZZIE: He's a person that does clearly have parties.

No, I haven't got any friends.

Not a party-goer.

You have us now.

SH: Right.

There you go.

What about £40?

£30?

£20 bid for it.

They're into profit.

SH: £20 for the bowl.

At £20.

IZZIE: Yes, we're into profit.

Obviously, you haven't got a thirst on this morning.

He finds it funny.

He finds it funny selling a punch bowl.

28 and 30 now.

28, then.

It's going at £28.

JM: Well done!

ALJAZ: That was a great one.

Hey, there's a party on, then!

VO: At last!

With that little profit in his pocket, things are neck and neck.

I'm getting a little bit excited now.

I like it.

I'm so pleased it did well, actually.

It's the time of year for it.

So people would want it.

Yeah.

VO: Can Janette's boomerang, given to silent film star Ernie Lotinga return a profit?

I'm crossing my fingers we've got a fan of film and Australia and boomerangs.

What about £30 for it?

£20 for it.

Not feeling good.

10, I'm bid.

12, anywhere?

12, I'm bid for the boomerang.

15, 18.

£20 now.

20 I'm bid.

And two now.

In the room at £20 - it's going down at £20.

Yes, thank you.

Aw!

Not online.

Nobody in Australia.

VO: That's a shame.

The bidder's done well with that hammer price, I tell you.

I thought we were going to do well with that one.

IZZIE: That was the high hope.

DH: I think so because... ALJAZ: A story behind as well.

DH: A wonderful story.

VO: Aljaz's torchere is the next lot - joint highest spend of this trip.

£40, £30, 20, I'm bid.

IZZIE: Oh, dear.

ALJAZ: Oh, no.

At £20.

And two now.

20 bid.

And two now.

It's going.

At £32.

Going down at the £32, then, thank you.

That's an oucher.

IZZIE: That's a disappointment.

JM: Ouch!

Didn't go well, guys.

No, not at all, there.

VO: It's not been our day so far, but plenty more to come.

Team Janette's penultimate item now, the dog or foo sculpture.

I think it might double-bubble.

I think even just in weight.

In weight, it's going to be worth 100.

It's got to be worth 100.

£50 for it.

£50, bid.

30, I'm bid for it.

30, I'm bid.

DH: Come on.

SH: Five now.

And eight now, and 50 now, and five now.

You're in profit!

ALJAZ: Well done.

DH: Come on!

At £55 and 60.

DH: Come on.

SH: No more.

At £55, then, it's going.

It's going to have to be sold, then, for the £55.

DH: Oh!

JM: Oh!

Hey, you know, that still counts as a profit.

It's with skin of our teeth.

VO: However, a fiver is gratefully received in today's market.

We've done really well.

So far, I guess.

Well, no, not generally, just on that one.

I'm just trying to find the positive here, Janette.

I know - I had high hopes for the dog.

VO: Well, a chance for Aljaz to make some money now with his French game dish.

JM: £20, you paid for it.

ALJAZ: £20.

Do you reckon it's going to do good?

Loads of - massive profit.

Where do we start, then?

£10 for it.

12, I've got.

12.

We're moving on very steadily.

Bit cheap.

At £12 and £15 now.

At £12.

I love pie.

You love pie.

I love pie, yeah.

Going down then for the 12.

Thank you.

Is that it?

So quickly.

Less than a good pie!

Exactly!

It's a complete disappointment.

That bird is going to fly away off that pot.

VO: It'll be humble pie for Team Aljaz today, I fear.

It's all about the experience, I think.

Yeah.

I'm pleased you've taken that attitude.

(THEY LAUGH) VO: Every cloud has a silver lining and all that.

Janette's Anglo-Indian tea caddy up next.

We paid £55 for it.

We paid the money.

We did.

So it wasn't exactly cheap, was it?

There we are.

What about that one, then?

I think we ought to be £40 for it.

£30.

20 I'm bid, for it.

Stop going down!

20 I'm bid for it.

And two now.

Five, you're out.

10, 28, 30.

30 I'm bid.

And two now.

SH: Five and eight now.

DH: Go on.

40 now.

And two now.

DH: Go on.

SH: At 42.

And five now.

And eight now.

At 48.

50 now.

Yes!

Yes.

55 and 60, is it?

And five now.

At 65.

And 70 now.

SH: No?

DH: Oh!

At £65.

It's at £65.

Yes.

Thank you.

Yes!

IZZIE: Congratulations.

DH: Great.

JM: Great!

DH: On paper, a profit.

Yeah!

Well done.

VO: Indeed.

Give yourselves a pat on the back for that one, chaps.

Sold - £10 profit.

Yeah, that's OK. We'll take that.

JM: We'll take it.

DH: Yeah.

VO: Our final lot of the day is Aljaz's vesta case in the form of a pocket watch.

30 I'm bid for it.

30 I'm bid.

Two and five and eight now.

At 40 and two now.

Five now.

Oh!

Going down then at £45.

Thank you.

Oucher.

JM: Ah!

DH: What a shame!

It's OK, though.

I think it looked really, really pretty on display and it tricked me.

VO: Don't feel glum, chum.

On another day it could have made a profit.

You know what?

I don't think we even need to do the maths, Aljaz.

I think we know that we have lost.

Just leave it, I think.

Which means you are delving into your pocket to take Janette out for dinner.

VO: Let's just run the numbers first, shall we, Miss Balmer?

Aljaz and Izzie began this trip with £400.

Despite some lovely purchases, after auction fees are subtracted, they've made a substantial loss today and finish up with £255.30.

While Janette and David also started with the same sum, they didn't do quite as badly.

After saleroom costs, they end on £348.34, which makes them today's winners.

Hurrah!

You just need to choose the restaurant and then it's over.

Oh, yes!

DH: Wahey!

Well done, guys.

JM: We did it!

So we are all going to Barcelona.

Let's go!

See you in Barcelona.

Muchos gracias!

ALJAZ: First auction.

JM: First auction ever.

I loved it.

Of course you did, you won!

I won.

I know.

I had a feeling.

Now I get that beautiful dinner.

Better get to working on the reservations for that.

VO: Bon voyage, you two!
