VO: It's the nation's favorite antiques experts with £200 each...

I love that.

VO: ..a classic car and a goal to scour Britain for antiques.

Yippee!

My heart's slightly racing.

VO: The aim?

To make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.

There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.

Evening all!

VO: So will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?

Jonny, are we going to end up in a dead end?

VO: This is the Antiques Road Trip!

VO: Yeah!

VO: Today we're on the road for the final adventure with our bewitching antiques experts Anita Manning and Jonathan Pratt.

# Bread of heaven... # Bread of heaven... # Feed me now... # No eh... # Feed me till I want no more.

# I want no more.

# Feed me till I want no more.

# VO: That's right, we're in Wales.

Anita Manning is a no-nonsense auctioneer that plays it super cool when she goes in for a deal.

Give me a better price on it, give me it for a fiver.

VO: And she has a real penchant for hats.

That's for your granny's wedding.

Yeah I know.

VO: This is Jonathan Pratt.

He's a rather savvy auctioneer who knows how to make a buck or two.

I'll come round here.

Go on, have a look.

If anyone comes in I'll serve them.

10%, is that alright?

Yeah go on then.

VO: And he doesn't hang about when it comes to making decisions.

Oh no!

I was doing so well.

VO: At auction Jonathan has had his highs... ..and his lows.

But Anita's gamble on unusual items has really paid off.

VO: Jonathan has tried, though, his very, very best.

From his original £200 he has a rather tidy sum of £337.77 weighing down his purse.

But seizing the lead is the winning Anita Manning.

From her original £200, she has an impressive £471.03.

She looks pleased doesn't she?

And our excitable antiques luvvies will be making their final journey in, of course, the 1964 stylish MG. Who needs to go to the south of France when you can come to Wales?

VO: Quite right.

Anita and Jonathan are traveling over 400 miles from the city of Glasgow all the way to Llangefni on the Isle of Anglesey.

On today's show, first stop is the town of Colwyn Bay.

And they will auction in Llangefni.

ANITA: Look, the sea.

JONATHAN (JP): Ah lovely.

The sea!

VO: The seaside town of Colwyn Bay is the birthplace of the former 007 actor Timothy Dalton and is the location for Anita's first shopping assignment.

And she's like a whirling dervish who's licensed to spend.

Oh lordy, stand by.

I am feeling a wee bit dangerous today.

Is this the shop I could spend all my money in?

VO: It seems Anita is on a mission and her first task is to cozy up to owner Frank.

Hello.

Hi.

VO: Good luck, Frank.

ANITA: I'm Anita.

FRANK: How are you?

ANITA: Is this your shop?

FRANK: It is, yes.

Oh, it's a great shop.

You like it?

VO: The charming Anita sure is cozying up to the owner.

It's usually small, sparkly jewelry Anita falls for, but there is nothing tiny about this chandelier.

Oh no, just look at it, it's a brute.

When I look at it, it's molded glass, it's not cut crystal.

Fairly modern.

There is a nice quality to it, there's a lot of weight, you see.

Yeah, yeah.

Hold it up, Frank.

If there were two of them, you could use them as earrings.

It would be a big lady that could wear a pair of earrings that size.

VO: No need to say it like that, Frank.

Quite a lot of quality there, isn't there?

Well it's not bad, but it's not the best.

But maybe we could do something with that for you if you've got your eye on that.

Well I will tell you, there's another couple of items.

Let's go.

And if I can... what I want to do, Frank... Is marry a few things together.

I want to spend, spend, spend.

Right.

VO: Lordy, he looks frightened.

I fancy this wee table because I like the idea that it's like a miniature.

I like the idea that you can use it as a single table or you can separate it out.

That's right.

I like these things.

It's functional.

It is... And I like the idea that it's functional.

Another item that I was looking at and again I'm thinking for function... VO: What's she up to now then?

It's very unusual for Anita to get so excited by furniture, but she's found yet another decorative table.

I hope she's alright.

This is a Louis XV style.

That's right.

And it's the type of lady that might buy it, I think, is the type of lady who would have, em...a nice guest house.

She likes luxurious surroundings and I think that sort of thing would fit in the bill.

VO: What does she mean "fit in the bill"?

Doesn't she mean "fit the bill"?

Anyways, this is Louis, Louis XVI style I reckon.

It looks a lot more than what you would be expected to pay for it.

These plaques for instance, you see on here, are porcelain and as you say, it's got that Louis look.

Yes.

And the thick marble so it's not good just being knocked over, you know, it's a good all-round piece.

VO: Now, looks like Anita is going in for a multi-buy.

The original ticket price on the chandelier is £150, £75 for the twin-pedestal table and £85 for the marble topped table, giving a combined total of £310.

Wow, this is chancy.

I was thinking 50, 50, 80.

That's 180.

To help you to sell them and I can more or less guarantee you'll make a good profit on these and not a pound or so, I will do them for 200 for the three for you.

200 for the three.

Ah, you are a darling!

Oh!

VO: Oh, you're enjoying that Frank.

Well, we got there in the end with a masterclass of smiling negotiations from the alluring Anita.

Jonathan meanwhile, is in nearby Rhos on Sea.

And the smallest chapel in Britain, Chapel St Trillo is located here.

How's our young gun getting on in his first shop of the day?

JP: OK, so a little brooch.

It's got a 50s style about it, like a... almost a Scandinavian influence.

Stamped 18K, so it's continental.

VO: A brooch eh?

Well, the lad has done well on jewelry before and owner Shawna has a cabinet full of the stuff.

Would you mind if I see this little gold and diamond, circular brooch, the Victorian one?

A few diamonds in.

Nicely made isn't it?

This sort of bead work.

I wonder why it's got a milled edge though, isn't that funny?

It's almost like a coin because they had the milling.

SHAWNA: It does look a little bit like a coin, doesn't it?

JP: Diamond is a nice color but it's internally flawed.

SHAWNA: Yes, it's just a dress brooch.

It's a pretty thing, pretty thing.

VO: Seems Jonathan's in brooch heaven today.

And he's not finished shopping yet.

He's on the prowl for more booty.

I'm going to step away from the cabinets for a moment and have a look around.

The little spill vase, the 1970s style with the rustic base.

It's by Deakin & Francis by the look of it, D&F.

You would call it a spill vase, it would be for something like putting a little flower in, I think spill was something else, like rushes for lighting fires and things but you've got this lovely little rusticated base, it's weighted alright and it's got a little bit of age.

VO: And he has got his eye on something else!

Crikey Jonathan, there's no stopping you today.

I quite like that design.

That's quite sweet isn't it?

Has a sort of almost a carpet pattern, Spanish, Mexican or something.

Basically what you've got here is a vesta case, a vesta case is a matchbox case, you would carry your matches around with you, it's a 19th century sort of thing.

VO: So Jonathan decides to go in for a job lot on the Victorian gold brooch, the 50s gold brooch and the silver vesta case and vase.

The combined ticket price on all four is a whopping £520.

Make it 290 then.

290 and that will do me just fine.

That's what I was going to ask.

£290, thank you very much.

Four items, one shop.

VO: £290 blown already.

The boy is certainly going for it.

Gosh.

And Jonathan even has auntie Anita providing a chauffeur service.

She is taking him onwards and upwards to his next shop in Llandudno Junction.

And it looks like she has taken the scenic route, look at that.

ANITA: How did we manage to go the wrong way, Jonathan?

It's your blethering.

Your blethering has put me off.

Of course it has Anita.

Of course it has.

VO: Oh he's such a chatter box isn't he?

JP: Well Anita, well driven.

Even if you did go the wrong way.

Watch it, Jonny.

Drive safely.

Do you know where you are going now?

Do you know where you going?

Do you want a map?

Are you alright?

ANITA: Shut up.

JP: Are you sure?

VO: Yes you tell him, Anita.

ANITA: Have a good time.

And you, see you.

Good luck.

VO: We'll catch up with Jonathan later but for now Anita is traveling to Conwy, to visit a splendid and ancient town house.

And she's decided to treat us to a medley of Bassey hits.

# The minute you walked in the joint # I could tell... # No.

VO: Oh crikey.

Try again.

# The minute you walked in the joint # I could tell you were a real big spender # A man of distinction.

# Oh no, that is not it.

# I...

I who have nothing.

# I... no.

# I...

I who have nothing.

I...

I who have no one.

# I'll get arrested if I do any more of this stuff.

VO: That's exactly right.

Anyway, that might be a good thing.

Stick to the day job, Anita.

ANITA: I wonder who this was to keep out?

VO: Uh...the Welsh?

VO: The town of Conwy is enclosed within a ring of 13th century walls and protected by a mighty Norman castle.

In the narrow streets stands Plas Mawr.

It's a townhouse built for the influential Welsh merchant Robert Wynn.

Wynn was a well traveled courtier and trader and the house stands as a symbol of a prosperous, buoyant age.

The style and design symbolizes Wynn's wealth and status.

This architectural delight is considered to be the finest surviving Elizabethan townhouse in Britain.

Anita is meeting with property manager Rachel Skelly to learn more.

It's lovely to be in Plas... Mawr.

Tell me, what does that mean?

Plas Mawr means big house or as we like to say, great hall.

It is the finest example of an Elizabethan merchant's townhouse.

It has been compared to a modern day footballer's house.

It would have been the latest fashion of the period.

Modern, up to date.

So it's a big bit of bling?

It certainly is.

Can we go up and have a look?

You certainly can.

VO: I'm looking forward to this.

Robert wanted to demonstrate this success and wealth with the latest in 16th century design.

We have Robert Wynn's bed chamber.

Ah right.

So he would have his big four-poster here.

You certainly would, in front of the fire.

And is this his coat of arms here?

This is the Wynn coat of arms.

And that is... 1577.

And as we were talking about the footballer's modern day house.

Here we have a garderobe.

Oh right, so this is our 16th century ensuite.

It certainly is.

Very modern.

I wouldn't like to smell that though.

I can't see Wayne Rooney in there.

No!

VO: Wynn was proud of his Welsh ancestry and commissioned specialist plasterers to create decorative schemes that incorporated heraldic emblems of his family.

Again, this symbolized the might of Wynn's wealth.

Ah, now Rachel, this... this is the room that I can see myself in.

It certainly is.

I think this is wonderful and the first thing that strikes me, really, is this very colorful plaster work.

I mean, what are these female figures all about?

RACHEL: These are called caryatids and they are what we believe to be Robert's interpretation of the Greek priestesses on the columns.

ANITA: So he was a well educated man... RACHEL: He was.

..who had traveled and what he wanted to do was show the world and his guests that he was a traveler.

He was showing off again.

He was showing off again.

And I mean look at the ceiling, it's like a Christmas cake.

It's absolutely won...

It's very cheerful, but again, it's a bit over the top, there is no subtlety here.

No.

It's bling...

BOTH: All the way.

And what I love as well is the light, the windows, these windows are marvelous.

RACHEL: They certainly are and they again show his wealth.

And did you know back in that day, if you moved house, you took your windows with you.

Because glass was very expensive.

So expensive.

VO: While Anita enjoys the grandeur of this splendid Elizabethan townhouse, let's find out how Jonathan's getting on in Llandudno Junction.

Well, he doesn't have much money left in his purse but owner Nicky tries to point Jonathan in the right direction.

NICKY: How about something like that?

I know it's a bit... but Gaudy Welsh looking.

Oh I see, yes I see what we are talking, yes, yes.

I know it's not but... in your budget.

VO: This Staffordshire tea service is in the style of Gaudy Welsh pottery, which was made in England and Wales between about 1820 and 1860.

NICKY: And there's four pieces, and a teapot and stand.

Would you take £20 for it?

I would take £30 for it.

There you go we see.

But it's not mad is it?

Ah... well you know, the condition...

It's a good look, it's a good look.

It's showy.

Four pieces.

Yeah and it looks like the sort of Crown Derby, that sort of thing.

Got a chance hasn't it?

Maybe it has got a chance.

VO: OK, that's one item rooted out, what's next?

That is a big one, haven't seen one that large before.

You probably know more about this sort of thing than I do.

JP: Embossed metal badge for the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.

It's one hell of a cap badge, isn't it?

Big, isn't it?

I have never seen one that big, have you?

Yeah, normally they're quarter of the size.

I rather like that because it has the military touch but it's also got a Welsh regiment there.

VO: Actually Jonathan, this is a pioneer's apron clasp.

The pioneer would lead the fusiliers when on ceremonial duties.

Nicky must be taking pity on Jonathan, he's dropped the price of the tea set by a tenner.

So 20 quid there and how much is this chap here?

NICKY: I'll do that for 20 quid as well.

Eh... if I bought both would you give me a better... would you give me a little bit more off?

Would you say 20 and 10?

No.

No.

20 and 20.

20 and 20 I would do for you wouldn't I?

20 and 15.

Go on £35.

OK, brilliant.

VO: Well that was a busy bout of shopping, Jonathan.

Splendid work.

And as the day draws to a close, it's time for our intrepid adventurers to have a well-earned rest.

Nighty night you two.

VO: It's a brand new day and oh dear, Anita and Jonathan are having to brave the rainy weather of Blighty once again.

So our final shopping day, Anita.

Yeah.

You looked pretty happy about what you bought yesterday, Jonny.

Ah... Oh you don't want to give anything away.

VO: Oh Jonathan's getting competitive.

Here's a reminder of what they've bought so far.

Jonathan is really going for it.

He's spent £325 on five lots - the Victorian gold brooch, the 50s brooch, the silver lot with the little vase and vesta case, the Staffordshire tea service and the Royal Welsh Fusiliers badge.

Lordy, he's only got £12.77 for the day ahead!

And Anita has spent £200 on three lots - the cut glass chandelier, the miniature Regency style table, the Louis XVI marble-topped table, and this leaves a nice portion of £271.03 to spend.

Our daring duo have traveled to the town of Penmaenmawr on the north Wales coast.

The town is famous for its spectacular mountain and coastal walks and lies within Snowdonia National Park.

Anita and Jonathan are sharing their first shop of today.

Mick, the owner, meets them as they arrive.

Let's begin with young Jonathan.

He already has five lots so there isn't any pressure to buy.

But surprisingly Jonathan has found something straight away.

I learned to ski on skis this long actually.

I say they would have seemed this long as I was only probably about that high when I learned but... Now everyone skis on skis about this long.

And they're not made of wood.

These are made of oak.

£32.

£32.50.

It's within the realms of possibility I would say.

I can be persuasive if I want to be.

VO: Oh, fighting talk from JP.

JP: Would you take a tenner for them?

Em...

I don't know if I could do that, you know.

OK, will you take the whole lot, if I give you £12.77 I can't go any more than that.

Will you take the lot?

Oh, go on then.

OK, thank you very much, £12.77.

Good.

Brilliant.

VO: Well done Jonathan, every last penny blown, I love your bravado.

Woops a daisy!

Meanwhile, where is our lovely Anita?

Mick, these are just so beautiful.

And you have a wee notice saying that they're Welsh tapestries.

Yes.

Tell me a bit about them.

I didn't know they made this type of thing in Wales.

They're double woven so they're actually negative and positive.

If you look at the blankets, can you see it goes that way and turn it the opposite side and negative.

ANITA: I've got to buy one of these.

MICK: Oh dear.

Oh dear.

Do you not want to sell them?

No, I love them all so much I don't like selling them.

I don't like selling these, what do you mean?

You can look at them but... You don't want me to buy one of these?

No.

VO: Ah, that might be tricky.

I mean you maybe not miss one.

No, I might not miss one.

What you have got to make sure of is the condition inside.

I'll pull it out.

Oh yeah, I like that, that's my colors, isn't it?

God they're awful dear, Mick.

Yeah they are, they fetch more than this on them in sales.

VO: Welsh blankets have been produced in north Wales for centuries.

This one is named after the mill it was made in - Tregwynt.

The original ticket price on this blanket is £125.

Is this one that you would let go?

I would let go of this one, yes I would.

Would you let it go for 50 quid?

Oh Anita, that's breaking my heart.

It's like taking a friend away, it's like kidnapping one of my friends.

You can't let it go for 50 quid.

I tell you what I would do, give me another tenner and you can have it.

There we are.

Another tenner?

60 quid.

60 quid and you've had a bargain.

I think that for 60 quid... ..we are buying something of beauty and craftsmanship.

Absolutely.

Very Welsh.

Absolutely.

Mick, it's a deal.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

ANITA: Ah!

MICK: Thank you.

VO: Ah, Mick obviously loves Scottish women and Welsh blankets.

Thank goodness Anita managed to prize one out of his collection.

ANITA: There is a labyrinth of rooms through there and they're all packed full of stuff.

It's wonderful but this thing caught my eye.

I really like it.

It's colorful and it's fun.

It's front part of a gaming machine, which has maybe been broken up but they've kept this bit here.

Viva Las Vegas and it tells you there is a new £6 jackpot.

That must have been a lot of money so we are maybe talking about 1960s, 1970s.

It's totally useless but I like it.

It's got £17 on it; that's not a lot of money.

VO: Anita collars Mick to go in for a deal.

You've had it for years?

Years and years.

Could you make it cheaper than that?

A little bit yeah, what were you thinking of?

I was thinking of the jackpot.

MICK: Do you know, I am feeling very generous so I think you should take the £6, there we are, cuz you've hit the jackpot.

You are about to be embraced by a grateful customer.

Oh dear oh dear, again?

VO: Cor!

She likes the fellas doesn't she?

So that's the Welsh blanket and the gaming machine fascia for £66 but...

I don't like 66, it's got to be either 65 or 67.

VO: Oh.

So what do you think we should do?

I think we should go for 67.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

That will do me then.

It pays for the lighting.

The extra pound.

That's right, it's another quid.

It's another quid.

Every quid counts.

VO: Ah.

He's a one, that Mick.

But Anita has now bought all her items.

Where's Jonathan though?

VO: He's traveling to Llanberis in Gwynedd to find out about a vital part of Welsh heritage.

Dinorwic Slate Quarry is home to the Welsh National Slate Museum.

It was the second largest slate quarry in Wales, indeed in the world and it covered more than 700 acres.

Wales is rich in slate deposits which have been quarried here for over 1,800 years.

But the slate industry really took off with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.

At its peak in the late 19th century, it was producing 100,000 tonnes of slate annually.

The museum is a time capsule of a once vibrant and bustling industry and celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

Jonathan is meeting with Dr Dafydd Roberts to find out more.

DR ROBERTS: This place was built in 1870 as the engineering workshops for Dinorwic Slate Quarry.

I thought it was... it seemed to me it would have been a lot older than that.

Well, the quarry south has been going since the 1780s and it had an early engineering workshop.

But this was built when the place was going absolutely flat out, employing over 3,000 men.

JP: So if I was to take a holiday somewhere in Europe, where would I find a Welsh slate on a roof?

Literally almost any city in western Europe.

But certainly if you went to Hamburg, lots of Welsh slate roofs there.

Wow.

Dublin, Belfast but to go further afield as well, if we went to New Orleans... Oh really?

Melbourne, Sydney, you will see Welsh slates.

Really?

This was a product which made its impact worldwide.

VO: The working life of the quarry may have come to an end in 1969, but there was one man who didn't want the memory and story of this quarry to disappear.

MR ROBERTS: My predecessor, a wonderful man called Hugh Richard Jones, almost literally stopped the scrap merchants from moving in.

He saved this place, you know.

Absolutely.

Tucked things away so the scrap merchants and the bailiffs couldn't see them.

So you wouldn't even have had a museum had they had the opportunity to do that because all of this stuff that you can look at now would have been completely melted.

That's right and it would have been a huge shame if we'd lost all of this.

This is part of our heritage for heaven's sake.

JP: Absolutely yeah.

VO: The slate blocks quarried from the mountainside would be split with a mallet and chisel and required great skill.

Quarryman Dafydd Davies lets Jonathan have a go.

So I have to sit down here.

Sorry, I have got a bit of a bad back at the minute.

Now then it is very comfortable, so if you put your legs straight out in front of you.

I'm not sure I can.

OK there we go.

Put that over you, keep you clean.

OK.

Right.

That goes in the left hand.

That goes in the left hand, OK. And this in your right hand.

Right.

Now that's not a hammer by the way, it's a mallet.

Mallet.

Made out of plastic these days.

Right, now then, that chisel needs to be perfectly centered.

OK. Straight in the center?

DAFYDD: Yeah.

JP: Yes.

And on the same angle as the slate.

Ah... yes.

Are you happy with that?

Ah... yes.

OK now make sure it lies flat and now you hit it but not too hard.

And again.

And again.

One more.

That's for luck by the way.

Oh right.

You're OK. You are quite safe.

Now what do I do?

Now give me the mallet back.

Right.

Now place your left hand on the face there.

Yes.

Hold the chisel.

Yes.

And just lever them apart.

If the chisel is a little bit loose you can push it in or you can tap it in.

Wooo!

There you are.

That's how you do it.

Look at that!

Well Dafydd, thank you very, very much, I am so proud now to have a new skill.

And it may, you never know, come in handy in the future.

Yeah, I wouldn't bank on it really Jonathan, but you know you did very, very well so if I were you though, I would stick to antiques.

Well after the next auction you never know, I might need another career change.

VO: Come on Jonathan, time to meet up with Anita and have a look at one another's bits.

Oh sugar, hang on.

# Di dey le di di doooo... # ANITA: Alright.

JP: There we go.

Oh I like, I like this.

JP: That, gold Victorian gold and diamond set target brooch.

I got it for £150.

ANITA: Look at the size of that diamond.

VO: Could Anita be a teensy bit jealous?

JP: Then I bought this one, this is 18 carat gold, yellow gold.

1950s, with this lovely leaping fawn, deer and a little scallop border.

Weighs in at five grams, paid £90 for it, 18 carat gold.

I really hate this, it's not my style.

But you have got a teapot cover and stand, you've got a water jug, you've got a sugar bowl and a milk jug, £20.

ANITA: It's good for £20.

Yeah.

Final purchase here...

I love these, I love that little vesta box.

There are lots of vesta boxes about, but the ones that tend to get the money are ones which are a wee bit unusual and I think that's absolutely lovely.

JP: £25 for that and I bought... ANITA: 25!

Yeah.

And I bought it with this which is a 1970s, it's 1974 silver spill vase so that was another £25.

Good buy and maybe I will have to say goodbye to the lead.

Well I don't know.

There is one other purchase and being a very, very keen skier, I bought these two.

A pair of... Old skis.

Old skis.

About 90 years old.

They should make about 20 quid.

Yeah, about £20 and I need every little helps so you know every little helps.

VO: It does, Jonathan, but what will you think of Anita's buys?

So what I went for was a... little coffee table.

Six good knees.

Six good knees, well I have only got one so... No, I like the look of it but I must say that reproduction furniture isn't the easiest thing to sell in the rooms.

It is not the easiest.

I haven't heard how much you paid for it?

£50.

I think it has potential.

Yeah.

OK, what else have you got?

My favorite thing was this wonderful piece of Welsh tapestry.

And I just couldn't resist these wonderful colors.

Yeah, but how much did you pay for it?

I paid £60 for that.

Yeah... that's cheap enough isn't it?

So I found this in one of the... in a corner, in a back room.

Down the bottom.

What's this off?

Is it off a fruit machine or something?

It could be a photograph frame.

That's really good isn't it?

VO: Well, hmm, he's not so sure.

It's certainly different.

ANITA: It's come from a pinball machine of maybe the 60s or 70s.

How much was that?

Well, em...

I was wanting to pay that for it.

Six quid?

Uh-huh, but I paid seven.

Gee wiz, you don't stop do you?

You don't stop, £7.

My last item is my chandelier.

Oh!

Wonderful.

Bit of age?

It's not a Victorian one, I would say the latter part of the 20th century.

OK, so relatively new.

Uh-huh.

Chandeliers don't go out of fashion, people still want to buy chandeliers.

Hmm.

How much was that then?

£100.

OK. Crikey, yeah.

So are you feeling lucky?

Yeah, well I think I might have taken a big gamble on six quid.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

VO: But what do they really think?

The skis, well, he is a skier so he had to buy them but they're full of woodworm.

She's paid too much for the chandelier.

And she won't be able to sell the modern 50s, awful Louis XV/XVI style table.

VO: Hmm.

The handbags well and truly out then.

Let's get back on the road and head to auction.

JP: It's a long old go this isn't it?

VO: Cor, it's been an ambitious finale with Anita and Jonathan battling it out from Colwyn Bay along the north Wales coast to Llangefni on the Isle of Anglesey.

VO: This is the famous Menai Bridge that connects mainland Wales to Anglesey.

I wonder if Anita knows when it was built?

ANITA: This was opened in 1826, Jon.

Was it really?

Yup.

It said it up there.

(BOTH LAUGH) VO: Cheeky.

Our pair of roadtrippers are traveling through the Anglesey countryside heading for today's auction.

But lordy - who will be this week's Road Trip winner?

ANITA: This is your last chance to catch me up, Jonny.

I know.

VO: Founded in 1964, Morgan Evans & Co has a long established reputation.

Jonathan Pratt started today with £337.77 and spent every "p" on six auction lots.

Anita began with £471.03 and spent £267 on five lots.

Right then.

Quiet please!

The auction is about to begin.

25... That's a good start.

JP: Excellent.

ANITA: It's a good start.

Double the money.

VO: Good-o Jonathan, splendid start.

I'm pleased that people like a bit of skiing style, you know, a bit of vintage.

VO: Moving on then, next it's Anita's big, sparkly chandelier.

Am I going to make 100 quid on this chandelier?

I am starting to get a wee bit worried now.

He went 30.

He went like that with his fingers.

Oh right.

Not dear, is it?

Fair play.

Lady's bid, all gents out then.

Hammer's up at £40 and sold.

That's me down 60.

VO: It's only your first loss Anita.

Chin up, girl.

That for me... Is wonderful.

Yes.

At £35, 35, 38, new bidder.

Is that you all out?

At £38.

The hammer is up, mind, at 38 and away then.

VO: Just goes to show you Jonathan - buy for the auction and not for your own tastes.

Oh you're catching me up.

VO: It's Anita's beautiful Welsh blanket next.

Anyway, a good local buy from Anita.

Next it's Jonathan's silver lot.

Will it push him further into the lead?

Standing the bid then?

At £75 for the two, not dear but away they go at £75.

Hammer is up then.

Well done, Jonathan.

75 quid.

You are on a roll.

Aw.

VO: Jonathan is trying hard to hide his excitement.

Yet another profit.

Can Anita win the jackpot with this unusual glass fascia from a gaming machine.

Oh Lordy, here we go.

Six if you like?

At £5 bid, £5 bid, £5 bid.

Are they six?

Maiden bid, the one and only bid then at £5.

On the market she is at £5, hammer's up at five and away then.

They didn't like it.

That's a shame.

VO: Well, at least somebody bought it.

Next, it's the pioneer apron clasp from the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.

It's usually Anita that's flying high.

Come on girl, let's see if the miniature table can help you up the profit stakes.

On the little coffee table at £10 bid, £10 bid, £10 bid, 12, £12 bid... Come on.

Getting close.

Nice clean, little table at £38 and on the market mind, and 38 and away then.

£38.

Oh oh oh!

VO: Oh oh oh!

Seems they have adopted a new language eh?

Oh dear, yet another loss to add to Anita's collection.

God I have lost... that's another 12 quid I've lost.

Ah!

VO: Right, it's Jonathan's 1950s gold brooch next.

VO: Oh dear.

Jonathan's run of profit has just come to an end.

It's Anita's marble-top Louis XVI style table next.

Can she claw back a big chunk of profit?

It's got to make 100 quid.

Lovely quality little table isn't it, at £50 on it, 50, 40, on that little marble-top table.

20 I am bid, at £20 bid, £20 bid, 25, 30, at £30 I'm bid, at 30 bid, £30... Come on, come on.

Here to be sold, should be more.

At £30, hammer is up then at 30 and away.

Oh God, that's another loss.

VO: That's Anita's last item too.

So can Jonathan push through to the finishing line?

It's exciting.

Isn't this... it all depends on the very last lot.

VO: That's right Anita, how will Jonathan fare with his Victorian gold brooch?

The one that's studded with diamonds!

Breathe in... And relax.

Breathe in... are you alright?

100 bid, 100 bid down the very, very bottom, £100 I'm bid, lovely gold brooch.

Come on, come on, come on, please.

100 bid, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, at 190 bid, 190 bid... Don't stop now, don't stop now.

At 190, 200, 200 bid, 210.

There we are.

You've done it.

220, 230.

At 230 bid, still room to go on him?

230, bid is on the market at 230.

The last lot!

Oh.

Man!

VO: Yippee!

Jonathan's won today's auction!

But who will be the overall winner?

Let's do the maths.

Shall we go and get some fresh air?

ANITA: Yes.

JP: Come on.

VO: Anita started today's leg with £471.03 and, after paying auction costs, made a loss of £100.54, bringing her final earnings to £370.49.

Jonathan, meanwhile, started with £337.77 and made a profit of £50.09, netting him £387.86.

Hey Jonathan, settle down, that's almost scary.

VO: So the winner for this week's road trip by less than £20 is... (DRUMROLL) VO: Jonathan!

(BOTH SHOUT AND LAUGH) Oh, that's unbelievable isn't it?

I honestly thought, I honestly thought I was going to be...

I know.

I'm sorry, shall I... No, that's great.

Aw, well done, Jonny.

VO: All profits our experts make go to Children In Need.

Sadly though, Anita and Jonathan's adventure is over.

But in the past week, we've had a brush with the law...

This is the pride of Glasgow police.

VO: Jonathan couldn't make up his mind.

I don't really want to blow all my money on the first day.

VO: Anita just couldn't keep away from hats.

Evening all.

VO: And through it all, this pair were inseparable.

You're a bad boy.

VO: And Jonathan defied the odds to actually win!

Farewell road trippers, you've been great.

Next week on the Antiques Road Trip, we have a new couple.

Rivals David Harper and Catherine Southon.

There are some things money just can't buy.

No!

VO: Which is just as well.

CATHERINE: We've got to make something somewhere along the line.

DAVID: Well I can't remember what it's like to make money.

I know.

Oh oh.

VO: Until next time.
