[MUSIC PLAYING] NARRATOR: It's the nation's favorite antiques expert-- Yeah.

Super cool.

How about that?

NARRATOR: --behind the wheel of a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.

The aim?

To make the biggest profit at auction.

But it's no mean feat.

There'll be worthy winners-- Yes.

NARRATOR: --and valiant losers.

Blast it.

NARRATOR: Will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?

This is the "Antiques Road Trip."

Oh, yes.

Well, [INAUDIBLE].

Antiques broker David Harper and first-time Roadtripper auctioneer Angus Ashworth are in Scotland.

But it's not the scenery that's stood in their hearts.

Oh, no.

ANGUS: Do you know I-- I love Carmen?

- She is-- - She's beautiful, isn't she?

--pretty special [INAUDIBLE].

Yeah.

NARRATOR: She can sing too and is also our 1973 VW Supermodel.

I think her dress sense is perfect.

Silver with red, it's a great combination.

Silver with red?

Red.

I didn't see it yet.

Yeah.

I thought you were referring to your trousers.

Well, no.

They're called orange.

Yeah.

Well, I'm colorblind, [INAUDIBLE]..

I can tell.

They've just been just this-- DAVID: I'm surprised your clothing isn't as bright as mine.

NARRATOR: David, nobody's clothing is as bright or as tight as yours.

On this road trip, our color-challenged gents are zigzagging around Scotland before dipping down into Lancashire and Yorkshire en route to a final auction in Northumberland.

Well, it's Ayrshire.

We've crossed from the east to the west.

We've got the coast over there, which is absolutely beautiful.

ANGUS: Absolutely stunning.

So you know, new area, new stuff, another day.

Right?

I'm excited.

Good.

NARRATOR: So am I. Angus' initial 200 pounds has dwindled slightly.

And he sets out this time with 172 pounds and 20 pence in his piggy.

David also put a dent in his original budget, but he is a fiver ahead with 177 pounds and 70 pence.

It's close.

If we keep on this road, we're both down to about 175.

By the end of the week, we'll be down to zero.

And then, we'll, on the last day, thousands.

NARRATOR: You have to admire that Yorkshire optimism.

With an auction in Cambria beckoning, our pair will be wending through southwest Scotland on this leg.

And after dropping off Angus, David's bound for Kilbarchan.

And the first shop of the day, Gardener Antiques.

Gosh.

The strides are bright.

Won't get knocked down wearing those.

Anyway, the Gardner family had been selling antiques in this former farm since 1950.

David Gardner's minding the shop today, all 11 rooms of it.

Look out, David.

Barometer.

If only I had enough money for another barometer.

NARRATOR: What?

So it could bomb at auction like the last one?

Get up those stairs and find something that'll make a bob or two, boy.

Who are you then?

Oh, a shop dog.

Every antiques shop has to have shop dog.

Every antique shop has to have a shop dog.

You are gorgeous.

You are gorgeous.

NARRATOR: If only Dan, the dog, was for sale.

Probably is.

What have we got?

Something oriental.

Let's have a look.

OK. Oriental panel.

Interesting.

Chinese or Japanese.

Japanese.

There is Mount Fuji.

They look like silk panels.

Don't they?

Stitched onto the original kind of packing paper.

But if I just fold the material back-- no.

If you turn it over, that is just a fabric.

It's almost like a-- ah, it is.

OK.

So it's a crushed velvet.

Very, very fine velvet material.

Tourist pieces from a period in time from the early to not quite the late 20th century, when tourists traveling to Japan had plenty of money.

And so tourist pieces were not tat.

They were reasonably good.

So the colors will be pretty much as they were 80 odd years ago.

A pair is always so much more desirable than, obviously, a single.

They're really good.

They are not gonna set the world on fire.

I'm not going to make a fortune.

But I think they are coming with me.

And I think they'll make me a tad of profit.

NARRATOR: So how much might a tad of profit be in Japanese then?

I would like those, please.

- 24 pounds.

- 24.

That's fine.

Thank you very much.

NARRATOR: Leaving him 153 pounds 70 p. Let's have a look at you.

Isn't he gorgeous?

NARRATOR: Yes, he is.

He blends with my coat.

Dan, we're matched.

All you need is a pair of bright orange socks and we're done.

NARRATOR: What?

Come on.

Good boy.

NARRATOR: David, he's not yours mate.

I shouldn't really be taking-- I'm not-- I'm not gonna take you.

I'm not gonna take you.

I promise you.

I'm just gonna say goodbye.

Bye, Dan.

See you.

Good boy.

You stay there.

Good boy.

Go on.

You stay there.

That's it.

Face that direction.

And in.

Good boy.

NARRATOR: Well, well, well.

No dogs were abducted in the making of this program.

Meanwhile, before he hits the antique shops, Angus has ventured south down the Firth of Clyde to the town of Irvine, with its fine views to the Isle of Arran.

Our former soldier is headed for the Scottish Maritime Museum on a reconnaissance mission to discover how a pioneering boat designer came to the rescue of wartime RAF crew who ditched at sea.

Standing by to help is assistant curator Matthew Bellhouse Moran to take us back to the dark days of 1940, when the Battle of Britain was raging overhead.

Look at those shots.

I think average life expectancy for a pilot in the RAF was about seven weeks at the time.

And certain types of pilots working in bombers, their life expectancy was only about two weeks in the air.

NARRATOR: Young airmen, with an average age of 20, faced the dual danger of deadly attack in the skies and perishing in the freezing waters below.

It was really important to try and minimize the loss of life wherever possible.

And of course, this is where a life-saving craft really came in.

NARRATOR: As sea rescue became a priority and the Museum is home to an example of an engine-less emergency shelter, designed to be tethered to the seabed, this stripped out shell is ASR-10, 1 of 16 of these steel lifeboats moored out in the English Channel.

It had bunks for 6 and was equipped with radio and life-saving essential.

Not the most luxurious.

I mean, they are, basically, just a bathtub only.

No chocolate or rum in here, I see.

- Not any more.

- No.

No.

That's a shame.

I was looking forward to that.

NARRATOR: However, downed airmen could not rely on ditching close enough to these ocean hostels, as they were their known, and only two lives were saved in them.

But with trained air crew at a premium, the RAF was desperate to minimize loss of life and a solution to the problem literally dropped from the heavens when boat designer Arthur Fox came up with an ingenious new idea to parachute lifeboats from the air.

This is a actual parachute boat then that was used during the war?

Yeah.

This is one of the very rare survivors.

Fantastic.

NARRATOR: Arthur Fox lived on the Isle of Wight and had been wedded to the sea from an early age.

He ran a successful boat building business and pioneered new sailing techniques, but he also had a personal interest in the plight of downed pilots.

His stepson, a man called Bobby Sax, actually ditched at sea during the war and was captured by Germans, which was really a driving force behind his almost obsession with designing a practical, useful parachuted life-saving craft.

He did have a few attempts at this.

One of them was to drop directly from the aircraft onto the water, which was, obviously, quite dangerous and complicated.

And the vessel often didn't survive very well.

So he then had the idea of, actually, parachutes.

NARRATOR: The 27-foot craft was secured to the underside of a customized Vickers Warwick plane.

Airmen saved by these droppable boats were known as members of the Goldfish Club.

How British is that?

This was actually a very successful method of life saving.

These vessels saved about 600 lives at sea over the course of the war.

And hugely more successful than the-- the earlier stationary boats for survival?

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

And of course, these did wonders for Arthur Fox's reputation as well.

They were a very successful design.

And we're very pleased to have one in our collection.

ANGUS (VOICEOVER): And a very important part of the war effort.

MATTHEW (VOICEOVER): Exactly.

NARRATOR: The last port of call today is back up river to the town of Clydebank, a place of mighty industrialization, where liners like the Queen Mary and the QE2 were built and where 36 million sewing machines were manufactured by Singer.

And it's an industrial unit that David is headed to now.

And he's going to be first to arrive, keen on antiques, which is kitted out with all manner of antique vintage and retro.

Oh, look, one of those 36 million sewing machines.

beautiful.

David has found shop owner, Ryan.

Hi, Ryan.

Hi, Ryan.

Ryan?

Ryan.

RYAN: These are just in.

They are Edwardian.

They're a pair of club chairs.

What sort of condition are they in?

So little tubs, some mahogany frame, satin wood inlay.

And is it inlay or painted?

RYAN: No.

It's inlay.

It's inlay?

Yeah, OK.

So you just rub your nail across that.

Yeah.

I can feel it.

So that's not a bad sign, is it?

So it's-- it's unusual to find period Edwardian chairs with their original material.

Yes.

And I-- when these things were new, they were often upholstered in this new modern material, which was a kind of a late 19th century invention, which looked like leather, but was cheaper than leather.

I think that's original.

Cabriole legs, never had any casters on.

What's cheap for a pair of Edwardian tub chairs?

How about 30, the pair?

30 quid?

I'd do it for 25.

Yeah.

We can do 25.

They're cheap enough.

Thanks, Ryan.

I do appreciate that.

NARRATOR: So you should.

Very nice, indeed.

Plenty more to sift through here though.

Oh, look.

Here's Angus.

I wonder what he'll fancy.

He's wasting no time calling Ryan.

Ryan, I've just seen this here, which [INAUDIBLE]..

It suits-- suits me.

I'm a country gent.

Yeah.

Nice cane there.

Silver top cane, it's got the hallmarks on it there, little anchor mark there, which stands for "Birmingham."

RYAN: Yeah.

Probably sort of Edwardian, late Victorian in dates.

Hasn't got my initials in it, unfortunately.

Somebody's scratched their initials in it there, which always is a downside, because you need somebody with those initials.

Yeah.

So we got a ticket price of 30 pounds on there.

Where-- where could we be on that?

Well, best price, really, would be 20.

20 pounds.

Yeah.

- Excellent.

I'm not gonna say no to that.

I'm happy with that.

Thank you very much.

Yeah.

Let me get you some money.

20 pounds.

- 20 pounds.

Brilliant.

Can I give you that to put on the side?

Because I'm not finished looking around yet.

There might be something else.

- Yeah.

Brilliant.

Right.

Hopefully.

I'll go look around, find some more.

Great.

- You keep looking.

NARRATOR: Yeah, you do that.

Ryan.

Over here, Ryan.

David wants you now.

DAVID: I do a lot with classic cars, right.

And accessories for classic cars are always incredibly good news.

If this came off an Austin it would quite likely carry a stamp somewhere.

Yes.

But it has that look, I've got to say.

And of course with the handle designed so you unstrap it at your final destination.

And literally it's light enough.

So that's a very light case.

It then doubles up as a suitcase.

Yes.

That's pretty cool.

And then you go into your hotel room and literally lays on the floor or on a bed.

It's quite a cool thing.

Yes.

Similar material strangely enough to the Edwardian chairs.

Just 20 years later.

How much is it?

It is priced up at 45 pounds.

What could it be, 30?

Yes I would do 30.

- Let's have it.

- Shake on 30?

Shake on 30.

Thank you very much.

No problem.

Fantastic.

NARRATOR: David is certainly finding plenty to spend his money on.

Two purchases, show me something else.

Well, if we come in here.

NARRATOR: The man's insatiable.

Well I do have these available.

Right, so you've got seven cases.

What dating early 20th century?

Maybe up to the 1950s, probably?

Any nice labels on them, transport labels?

There is one on this case.

I'll move these off.

Yeah.

What is it?

We've got Travel Goods Phoenix, that's the company name.

Look on the inside, kind of like a wallpaper lining.

The smell even reminds me of a leather case almost identical to that I had when I was about seven.

Brings it all back?

Does bring it back.

Just lift these ones back up for you.

I mean, I assume they're like so cheap it's ludicrous.

I'll tell you what we'll do.

For the lot.

I could do the seven for 20 pounds, no less.

NARRATOR: 20 pounds, excellent work.

Brilliant.

Thank you, Ryan.

So that's three purchases.

And I make that 75.

Yes, 75 that's correct.

NARRATOR: That's 20 for the cases, 25 for the chairs, and 30 for the traveling case.

Great buys, do appreciate it.

And a real pleasure meeting.

- Yup, you as well.

Thanks, a lot.

Yeah and good luck with Angus, you're going to need it.

Yeah, thanks.

NARRATOR: Talking of Angus.

Now just the man.

You are the Yorkshire cap man.

I'm glad you've got that right.

[INAUDIBLE] Have you not seen one of these before?

Yeah, of course, I've seen one of those before.

Well, what do you think?

You look like a right wally.

Well you know what I like that.

Well you buy it then.

Anyway, what are you up to?

Have you bought anything?

I've actually spotted some really good things.

Go for it.

Trouble is, I think I'm going to spend all my money again.

Well, do it.

ANGUS: I will, I will.

DAVID: Move on, move on.

I'm so chill.

Good luck.

ANGUS: Don't need it.

Put this back on again now.

I quite like it.

NARRATOR: Fighting talk, eh, but time is marching on.

Ryan, there's a few bits on this sideboard that I've seen that quite like.

Yes.

Obviously, the giant hip flask.

Just because that's just a great bit of fun.

Yeah.

It's had a hard life, fairly dented.

Where are we on that?

Well it's marked up at 18 pounds.

How about 10?

10.

I think it's just a great bit of fun.

OK, that's a very possible.

But while we're here-- Yeah.

I've found loads of things that I like.

All right, good.

The other one is the little, wee chair.

The wee kids chair?

Yeah, just because I've got little kids.

And they're always popular, people put a teddy bear on them, or a doll, or a little child.

Started to get a little bit on the rush.

I think you've got 45 on it.

What-- - 45.

Where could we be on that?

Look, I could do you a great deal.

I could do it for 20 pounds.

I can't say no at that.

OK and the last final thing, which I absolutely love-- Yeah, I love that as well.

Is this lovely little thing there.

But if you turn it open, open it up there, it's actually a traveling inkwell.

Looks like olive wood, so probably sort of continental Mediterranean.

Got a little crack in there but just a nice novel little thing.

18 pounds on it.

15?

15 pounds.

15, 10, 20, 45 for the three.

45, why don't we say 40 for the three?

And we can shake on it.

I can't turn that down.

I'm probably buying way too many items.

But 40 pounds for three, you've definitely got a deal.

- Yup.

- Thank you very much.

Great.

NARRATOR: Sold to the man in the flat cap.

40 pounds.

I'm going to grab these.

And I'm going to get out your hair.

- Yeah, no problem.

- Bought more stuff than-- Can you get them all?

I can get all those.

That's great, thank you.

Great, thank you.

NARRATOR: Don't forget the cane.

And with that, they are off.

What are we going to have for dinner?

Are we going to have something Scottish?

Oh, absolutely.

What do you reckon?

West Coast, got to have some fish.

I think.

- A good bit of fish.

I had haggis for breakfast the other day.

No, who would have thought?

Haggis for breakfast.

It was fabulous.

NARRATOR: Mine's mince and tatties.

Nighty, night.

Well, our wee lambs are on the move again.

Full of the joys taking in the Ayrshire coastline and admiring the views to the lonely island of Ailsa Craig out in the Firth of Clyde.

It's a fantastic shape innit?

It's like a giant souffle.

It also looks like one of those Scottish tea cakes.

[LAUGHING] NARRATOR: So it does.

Yesterday, during a spending spree in Clydebank, Angus was taken with a silver top cane.

So explain the country gent.

NARRATOR: And a child's chair, an inkwell, and a hip flask.

Leaving him a pocket full of 112 pounds and 20 pence.

While David snapped up seven leather suitcases for a song.

I assume they're like so cheap it's ludicrous.

NARRATOR: And a pair of tub chairs, two Japanese fabric panels, and a traveling car case.

So he sets out today with 78 pounds and 70 pennies.

ANGUS: Well I've sussed out your tactics.

What's that?

Just buy everything for 20 pounds.

Well if it was as simple as that it would be marvelous.

It really would.

NARRATOR: Well we'll soon see who's the big spender today.

David is being dropped off this morning in the Ayrshire town of Girvan.

What will he unearth at Artemisia Antiques and Vintage.

[MUSIC PLAYING] Plenty on offer here.

Time to chat with owner, Ingrid.

I mean, Staffordshire dogs, it's all-- they're always nice to see.

But nobody buys them anymore, do they?

No, but then with the new trend, granny chic, might come back in fashion.

Granny chic, who on Earth is granny chic?

Is she local?

No, no it's like crocheted lampshades and-- What?

It's a style?

NARRATOR: Get with the program, Granddad.

Right, come on Ingrid.

What else have we got?

Art deco standard lamp, I would say 1930.

It's not the kind of, the second period art deco.

So after the war when things kicked off again in manufacturing when you look 1950s.

It's a good thing on little bun feet.

It's odd, isn't it?

Because you see the art deco decoration which screams 1920s, 1930s then there's almost a little nod to the Victorian bun feet.

Mhm.

See how the design sort of progressed didn't they?

- Uh huh.

- I think it's fascinating.

Mhm.

A few dings in it.

I love the fitting, red is on, black is off.

I know, I love that.

That's so clearly deco, using the colors.

So would 25 get it?

No.

[LAUGHING] No, so what's the best?

Uh, 30.

Good.

Just because I've had it for ages.

- Oh, so you can't sell it?

- Nope.

[LAUGHING] Yes, yes.

There's loads of people-- - 30.

They've just not been to the right place.

Should we have it for 30?

30 is fine.

I'll have it for 30.

Thanks, Ingrid.

That's fine.

Thank you very much indeed.

NARRATOR: If just to prove to Angus that you can spend more than 20.

[MUSIC PLAYING] While David keeps looking, let's catch up with Angus as he heads further south into Dumfries and Galloway.

And to a historic place with a new story to tell as Scotland's national book town.

Here we go.

We've come into the town of Wigtown.

Well that's how I'm pronouncing it, it's spelled wig town but I reckon it's Wigtown.

There's bookshops everywhere.

Unbelievable, you'd think bookshops would be dying off but actually this place is full of them, fantastic.

NARRATOR: A bit like hay on wine.

But it's the next chapter in his antiques saga for Angus now, set in Traditions Antiques.

And while owner, Russell is busy restoring furniture in the back shop Angus can get rummaging.

Now these are classic.

Real classic, traditional candlesticks.

I'm just going to take that candle out there so I don't drop it on the floor.

Lovely, heavy weighted bases.

Corinthian column corbel tops there.

Lovely, classic design.

I mean that just speaks antiques.

Very traditional, but very me.

Although I'm young I'm quite traditional.

48 pounds, I think there worth a go.

I'm going to go speak to Russell on that and see what we can do on those.

Because I like those.

Russell?

Yeah.

Got these candlesticks.

I don't need the candles.

OK. And this is slightly sort of Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Adding to the character.

Are you from Yorkshire?

No.

Well you're negotiating like a Yorkshireman.

Got 48 on them, where would we be on those?

They could be 35 for you.

35 pounds, thank you very much.

How very kind.

I can't argue with that.

I'll have those definitely.

- OK. - Thank you very much.

- Well done, yeah.

Get you some cash.

[MUSIC PLAYING] 40 pounds.

I'll get some change for you.

- Thank you.

- There we go.

Thank you very much.

- That's wonderful.

Great.

I'm going to carry on looking around because you still got plenty more stuff to look at.

Thank you.

NARRATOR: Meanwhile, how's Grandad doing in Girvan?

[MUSIC PLAYING] Oh my goodness grac-- the car box I bought yesterday.

This is absolutely crazy.

NARRATOR: Calling Ingrid.

Now Ingrid the car storage box.

How much is it?

Is it really very cheap?

Because I might put it with my other one.

It could be 25.

Could it?

OK, let me have a look at the condition.

Can we get it down?

NARRATOR: Oh dear.

Do you trust me to climb up?

NARRATOR: No.

- Yes.

- OK. Well, what about this chair?

Can I use this chair?

How long has it been up there for Ingrid, in years?

About three.

Three years.

Oh my gosh.

What hope have I got of selling the other one?

NARRATOR: So why bother with this one?

Right, can I dispose of the baskets to you?

Don't want a picnic basket, as well?

I do not.

A picnic basket.

Right, this is like Groundhog Day.

Let me have a look on the inside.

Oh.

Same lining.

What's that?

I don't know.

Underwear.

NARRATOR: Nice.

Yes, take it away Ingrid.

OK. Ah, that's interesting.

That one's got a makers mark, Brexton.

Ingrid?

Would 20 buy it?

NARRATOR: She's binning the pants.

- Uh huh.

- Yeah.

- That would be OK. - Good.

Uh huh.

OK. NARRATOR: 20 knicker minus the knickers.

Job's done.

Off with you then Mr. Harper.

Now, let's get an epilogue from Wigtown.

[MUSIC PLAYING] Not another candlestick surely.

What have we got here?

It's different, quirky.

A vintage gyroscope.

Eight pounds.

Quite tactile actually you can-- sort of like a vintage desk toy.

Probably early 20th late 19th century.

Possibly been off something else, got a hole through there you might have threaded something through it.

It's just a thing of purpose.

Somebody would know exactly what it's for, but I just like it as a-- trying to think.

NARRATOR: Looks to me like one of those things we had as a kid called a gyroscope, sort of spinning top.

Do you know what?

I bought that inkwell the other day at 10 pounds, which is a little bit weak on its own.

So that with the inkwell together makes a really interesting lot.

I'm going to have that.

Russell?

RUSSELL: Yes.

I keep dragging you away from your work.

I've just found this-- just don't really know what-- it's just a nice vintage, quirky, spinny thing.

NARRATOR: Spinny thing, physics, and stuff.

I'm going to take that.

If that's all right.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

OK.

Correct money.

8 pounds, there we go.

Yeah.

- Thank you very much.

- That's great.

You've been an absolute star, Russell.

Thank you very much.

Cheers.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Bye-bye.

NARRATOR: Pocket 43 pounds lighter and Angus' antiques quest continues.

[CAR DRIVING AWAY] David, meanwhile, is traveling North.

Back up the Clyde coast to Prestwick.

The only place in Britain visited briefly by the king, when Elvis Presley touched down in 1960.

But it's another crown Prestwick is wearing today, a sporting one.

This is the place where the Open Championship began and David is off to Prestwick Golf Club to meet secretary, Ken Goodwin.

And hear how it became possible for working-class men to become kings of the fairways.

Look at that lot.

Well in the 1850s when the club was formed, it was two quite distinct social classes of-- particular of golfer.

You had the gentleman golfer, independently wealthy, didn't need to work spent their life hunting, fishing, shooting-- Gambling.

Absolutely.

And then you had the working classes.

Those who made a living from actually playing golf or being in the golf business.

They would be either caddies, carrying the clubs and helping the gentleman golfers.

Or making golf balls, making golf clubs, or looking after the links that had been laid out.

And did the caddies and the gentleman mix socially?

No, certainly not.

The gentleman would use the clubhouse.

Caddies wouldn't be allowed into the clubhouse.

So they were segregated.

It was almost-- I hate to say it-- they knew their place.

NARRATOR: Among those caddies were many talented golfers and Prestwick is associated with one of the most successful.

The son of a weaver who by his 20s was among the best golfers in St Andrews.

Tom Morris certainly is probably the best known to everyone known as the father of the game of golf.

He came down from St Andrews in 1851.

And he laid out the original golf course here at Prestwick.

So he designed it.

He did.

Surely that gained him membership.

No.

In those days I mean, the distinct social classes were such that the caddies, the working classes, they didn't cross the threshold.

NARRATOR: And while snobbery prevailed inside golf clubs for the next 100 years, things took a democratic turn out on the links when Prestwick Golf Club introduced a competition which allowed men of all classes, from any club to challenge each other on level terms.

And there's the minute there.

Which says that the challenge melt tomorrow and an all future occasions until it be otherwise resolved shall be open to all the world.

What a historic document.

Absolutely.

Anybody who has the remotest interest in golf, that's vitally important.

Yes, absolutely.

NARRATOR: It was an historic moment for the sport.

And a hole in one for working-class men as caddies and gentlemen competed as equals.

Tom Morris went on to win the championship four times.

The winner got the championship belt, which he was only allowed to take away if he left 25 pounds.

DAVID: A lot of money in those days.

A lot of money.

Really to make sure that he returned it the following year.

NARRATOR: Morris's son, young Tom, also won the belt four times.

And after three in a row, the rules allowed him to keep it.

And he still is the youngest ever winner, not just of the open, but of any major golfing championships.

You've got the open, you've got the US Masters, the US Open, and the US PGA.

So that's quite a unique double.

That the father is the oldest winner of the open and the son, the next year is the youngest.

And we've got their scorecards there as well.

Again, these are historic documents aren't they?

Little snapshots of that day when these numbers were so vitally important.

NARRATOR: The Open continued annually at Prestwick for the next 12 years before evolving into the championship we know today.

Outgrowing the ability of its birthplace to provide it with a home.

It would be a great honor and great fun for me to have a look at one of Tom's original holes.

I mean is it within walking distance?

Yes, well the 17th hole, the original second, it's still true to the layout that Tom devised.

So let's go out and have a look there.

- Can we have a go?

- Yeah.

Marvelous.

I'll follow you.

NARRATOR: This I am very much looking forward to seeing.

Fore!

This might get me back into golf you know.

- Make this a good one.

- Oh, I will.

I'll try.

Here we go.

Oh, oh!

Well that is very good.

OK. Oh.

Oh my gosh that was almost in!

That was very good.

- Thank you very much.

- Well done.

It's been fantastic.

Well done That was the best shot of the day.

It was.

NARRATOR: While David's been showing off on the golf course Angus has left Wigtown and is feeling a bit chuffed with his own achievements thus far.

I do feel sorry for David because he's an old veteran, and therefore, he should be wiping the floor with me.

But actually, I've lulled him into a false sense of security by not doing very well on leg one, which is all part of my game plan.

And then bang, I'm going to hit him later on.

Huge profits and he's just going to be bewildered, not know what to do.

I'm just going to say that's how it's done, David.

Come on then clever dick make your way to your last shop.

Must be further down there.

Let's have a look because that can't be right.

This looks a bit more like it.

NARRATOR: Angus has traveled west to where the Rhins of Galloway meet the makars.

He's bound for the farm buildings housing the Glenluce Antiques Centre.

ANGUS: It's a dream, auctioneers dream in here.

Absolutely brilliant.

[MUSIC PLAYING] This is epic.

Look at it, it's just stacked up everywhere.

Oh this is great, wonderful.

NARRATOR: And while Angus is happy as a pig in the proverbial, owner Chris is presiding over his barns stuffed with well, stuff.

I'm sure it has its uses, probably medical.

Some lamps up there.

Got to look up, always remember to look up.

Some steps here.

OK. Brass miners lamp, they're quite nice, they're decorative.

Not the earliest one I've seen, but they're still quite collectable.

Anything sort of mining, railway [INAUDIBLE].. And that's another one there with this sort of mesh gauze type, a bit more unusual.

They're a possibility.

I'm going to put those down there.

I don't think that will quite fill my budget, but metal work, could get something to go with that quite well.

That'd sit well with that as a lot.

He said look through drawers, so-- Few bits in here.

Wait.

Hmm, they're interesting.

They're bronze.

First glance you'd say they're oriental but they've got a British military stamp on them.

They're quite interesting.

I'm not sure originally what they would have been made for.

But metal-ware, depending what price they are they could sit well with those two lamps.

I like those.

Chris are you about?

Yes.

I found these.

I thought was a nice little metal work group, lots.

Yes, yes.

What sort of money are we looking at on those?

Well these come out of a shed just up the road.

The best I could do on those would be 40 pounds a pair.

40 pounds a pair.

And the pots?

The pots, uh, I could probably do them for the same, 40 pounds.

So that would be 80 for the lot?

Yes.

I'm going to come straight with you.

OK.

I've got 69 pounds and 20 pence.

I was going to say 70 on the two lots.

I'm 80 pence short.

I think we should be able to do that for you.

Brilliant, thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Let me get you some money.

69, 20-- you're an absolute legend.

Thank you very much, Chris.

I shall get out of your hair.

- Probably, thank you.

- See you later.

Thank you.

Bye.

NARRATOR: And with that he is cleaned out again.

I do like his style.

Talking of style, time to scoop up David and head south.

DAVID: Southbound.

ANGUS: Yeah, back to England.

Back to England.

It's going to be a shame to leave Scotland actually, isn't it?

- It is actually.

It's stunning.

I've really enjoyed it actually.

And eventually we're going to end up in the greatest place in the world, Yorkshire.

You know what?

We will, won't we?

- Yeah-- We'll be go-- I know, I know you're excited about it.

We'll be going home, Angus.

Yup.

I know, can't wait.

NARRATOR: All in good time then.

Next stop Cumbria after some shut-eye.

Good morning, Westmorland.

Sunny Crooklands to be precise, a few miles from Kendal.

In this scene, a bucolic splendor, our experts are gambling today to 1818 Auctioneers, who are about to enter their third century of gavel bashing in a decidedly 21st century building.

Lake districts.

I love the lakes.

Don't you?

- Oh, I love the lakes.

I'm only on the doorstep of the lakes.

This is home territory for us.

Well it's getting very near Yorkshire but I'm going to pull it back.

Do you get more confident the closer we get to Yorkshire?

Yes.

Oh don't you worry later on in the trip-- Oh, later on.

I'm not going to be on fire.

Let's hope not today.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: They're competitive pair but really the best of pals, I'm assured.

David waved goodbye to a total of 149 pounds in return for his five lots which Angus has been scrutinizing.

Just not me.

I mean he didn't pay a lot for it but I think these are dead in the water.

Can't see it these making a profit but you know, good luck to him.

NARRATOR: Sincere or what?

And what will David make of Angus purchases.

He's paired up the cane and the hip flask to make up 5 lots which cost him every penny of his 172 pounds and 20p.

British military cooking pots probably late 19th, early 20th century.

Now, he's a military man.

He loves his military stuff.

And if it's online, which it is, then the military buyers may well get on to those.

But they will not want miners lamps they'll chuck them in the skip.

NARRATOR: Oh.

And what does our wonderfully named, local auctioneer, Kevin Kendall, have to say about our pair's purchases.

The silver topped cane, the date is a little later than we'd thought.

We came in as Edwardian and it's actually 1920s, but it's still a nice little piece.

And the hip flask is huge, isn't it?

So that should do all right.

The leather suitcases, suitcases do really well at the moment.

Shop displays and things like that like them.

There is one of the cases has quite a bit of ephemera in as well and that might just bump up the price a little.

NARRATOR: Right gentlemen, to your seats please.

All right.

Here we go.

Round two.

[LAUGHING] NARRATOR: Angus's idiosyncratic pairing of a gyroscope and an olive wood inkwell is first under the hammer.

10 I'll take for a quick start.

10 pounds, thank you.

10 pounds be-- 10, 12, 15, 15 in the room.

I'll take an 18 online.

20 now.

[GASP] You'll profit.

20 be-- 22, 22, 22, 22 now.

It's the gyroscope what did it.

22 No, look come on somebody else wants this.

22 pounds are we all done?

I'm going to sell at 22.

[BANGS GAVEL] [SIGHS] Well it's better.

It's, it's all right.

I can't complain.

It's all right.

NARRATOR: Well it's a start.

I think you would have made more without the gyroscope, personally.

[LAUGHING] NARRATOR: Next up are David's seven vintage leather suitcases, just like Paddington's.

No marmalade included and hopefully no dirty old underwear.

And I'm at 50 pounds now.

- That's good.

- 50-- 50 pounds made.

50 made, 50 made, Come on.

I'll take five if you like behind.

55, 55, Cheap considering there's a bag of sovereigns in there.

60!

60 made!

60 made!

60 made!

60 made!

I told you to buy this lot.

Did you now?

You said, should I buy it for 20 quid.

I said, yeah.

- So what happens now?

- Here we go.

- 60 pounds Should've said no and bought them myself.

60!

[BANGS GAVEL] Marvelous!

Marvelous!

Isn't that good news Angus?

NARRATOR: His face says it all.

Please look after these suitcases, thank you.

Marvelous!

Hey, I love making this program.

I love it.

NARRATOR: Well right now it's loving you back.

Let there be light!

Angus' candlesticks now.

Got me 20 if you will?

What?

20 pounds for the candlesticks.

20 pounds bid online.

Oh incidentally and now to 22!

25 you like?

22 only!

22!

- What?

- Sell it.

Sell it.

Sell it.

[INAUDIBLE] Sell at 22.

No, don't already go.

Come on, surely.

22 pounds, and be all done at 22.

Oh!

[GAVEL BANGS] Angus, I'm so disappointed!

NARRATOR: No you're not.

That was not a good result though.

I'm speechless.

Yeah, I'm shocked.

[LAUGHING] NARRATOR: Time for David's Japanese prints now.

Who fancies a bit of Mount Fuji?

I think they're awful.

Been in a drawer all their lives.

Yup, they should've stayed there.

20 pounds!

- Go.

- Anybody 20?

No?

Come on.

- I'll take a 10 first out.

- Yeah, it'll take a tenner.

KYLE: Got to sell today.

10 pounds!

- Go on!

- 10 pounds made.

ANGUS: [INAUDIBLE] - 10 made!

12!

12 made!

- Here we go.

- Now we're on the way!

- Go on!

- No!

12 made!

[INAUDIBLE] [INTERPOSING VOICES] KYLE: 15!

DAVID: He's trying.

KYLE: 15 bid now!

DAVID: Come on.

KYLE: 18!

18 bid!

I love how he's working the crowd for you.

He is looking hard, I'll give him that.

18 pounds if we are going to sell it.

18 pounds!

Get the gavel down.

Come on.

And we're selling at 18!

No style.

No style.

I think they've done 8 pounds more than what they're worth.

NARRATOR: Sayonara to those then.

It's meant to-- It's not brilliant.

NARRATOR: Angus military pots and miner's lamps are under the hammer next.

And I've got 40 here.

5, 55, 65, and 70 on the internet!

Yes!

Wow.

That is still more though.

KYLE: 70 made!

70 made!

DAVID: That will do it.

KYLE: 70 made!

75!

75!

75!

Little bit higher.

Needs to do a bit more cover the commission.

75 are you all done now?

75 pounds on the internet.

More, more.

Have you done at 75?

[GAVEL BANGS] Just a slight loss.

I knew it would be an internet sale.

- Yeah.

- But it was worth a chance.

NARRATOR: Sadly, most of that 5 pounds 80 pence will be swallowed up in sale room fees.

They could have made 20 quid.

If nobody knew what they were-- Yup, yup.

--you could have lost 40 quid.

So well done.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: It's the turn of David's Braxton traveling cases now.

Very unusual to have a pair together and I bought them separately.

So they're not that rare.

It's unbelievable.

30 pounds bid.

30 made.

A long way to go.

35 on the net.

35, 38, 40, 42!

42!

Come on internet.

KYLE: 42, 42!

We'll take a 5 online if you like.

A 42 in the room.

Sell it.

Sell it.

42 pounds!

And we're selling it at 42!

[GAVEL BANGS] - Yes!

Oh!

Where are all my car buddies?

NARRATOR: You haven't got any.

[LAUGHING] You needed a loss.

You were getting a bit ahead of yourself.

I don't mind taking a bit of a loss.

NARRATOR: Up now it's Angus' Victorian rush seated child's chair.

20 if you like!

20 pounds from going!

20 pounds made!

- Well there you go.

- 20 bid.

Done well.

Yup, be nice to get a bit more [INAUDIBLE] 22!

I'll take 5, 25!

Now we're moving on.

- Yes!

It's still cheap isn't it?

Yes, 25.

25, 25!

Lovely chair.

Put the hammer down.

[INAUDIBLE] Come on.

At 25.

[BANGS GAVEL] It's hard day.

Well done Angus.

NARRATOR: Well it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

I'm still warming up.

NARRATOR: David's art deco standard lamp is up next.

25, 28, 30.

That's enough really for now.

32, 35, 38 without you.

40 now.

40 made.

Go on.

Didn't see that a little bit at KYLE: 45!

- Go on.

45!

48, 48, 48, 48 pounds in the room!

48 pounds-- Want more 50 would be nice.

48!

We knew you-- you done well there.

That's all right.

I'm very happy with that.

18 pounds profit minus commission.

That's all right.

NARRATOR: So it is.

Looks naked without a shade doesn't it?

It's the one that I was worried about.

- Were you?

- Yeah.

Oh, but now you're not worried at all?

No.

NARRATOR: Well let's see how mister confident gets on now with his last lot.

The silver topped cane and huge hip flask.

That's a decent sized hip flask-- Yeah.

Good flask that.

And I'm going to start the bidding with me at 38, was it online?

38 bid!

40 now with me!

40 made!

Oh, they're loving it.

- Ah, it's off, it's off.

- [INAUDIBLE] 42 in the doorway!

42 pounds of bids in the doorway!

You're out on the internet by my time now going to sell at 42!

It's good, though.

[BANGS GAVEL] It's good.

It's good.

Well done.

Good Buy.

NARRATOR: All that lot needed was a top hat.

Nice work Angus.

Well I give people value for money.

Well good for you.

You're like a walking charity aren't you?

Yeah, I've felt like it today.

NARRATOR: Last lot of the day now, David's faux leather Edwardian tub chairs.

And I've got 48 pounds on the internet.

Here we go.

Come on baby.

50 pounds made!

50 made!

Five, 60!

Here we go.

70, 5 online!

75 on the internet!

That's about what they're worth.

KYLE: 75 - Come on.

KYLE: 75, 75 pounds!

80 in the room!

80 in the room now!

- Come on 5.

KYLE: Hey, at last chance 85!

- Ugh, no.

KYLE: 90 now!

That's more like it.

Lovely Edwardian chairs.

Thank you.

100!

Yes, that's more like.

Isn't that more like it?

It's not over yet.

It's not over yet.

120!

Should be at least.

Oh, it's still going?

It's furniture.

120!

120, 130 if you like!

130!

130 now!

What's wrong with the people here?

They've got style and panache.

130!

[BANGS GAVEL] Are you pleased?

For at least the furniture market, if not for me.

Well done.

Well done.

For the furniture market, yes?

Yeah.

Good.

NARRATOR: You have to hand it to him that's a whopping return for a tiny investment.

And I've made lots of money which I'm delighted about and so are you.

Well you can treat me then because I'm commiserating.

And the furniture market's on the up.

- Good.

- Come on Angus!

Be positive!

Come on.

NARRATOR: Yes, let's go and tot up.

Angus spent all his pennies again.

But after auction fees, he lost just under 20 pounds and winds up this time with 152 pounds and 52 pence.

David made some canny purchases.

And after auction costs made a profit of just over 95 pounds.

So he's still top dog with a new total of 273 pounds and 6 p. Oh, into the sunshine, Angus.

What a beautiful day.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Weather wise anyway.

Oh, don't worry, it could all change in a nanosecond.

It will.

Do you know, I'm enjoying myself.

Exactly.

And what a day for another beautiful drive.

It's beautiful.

Look at this.

What a day.
