NARRATOR: It's the nation's favorite antiques experts.

What a job.

NARRATOR: With 200 pounds each, You with me?

NARRATOR: A classic car Buckle up.

NARRATOR: And a goal to scour Britain for antiques.

Oh, sorry.

Aha!

NARRATOR: The aim?

To make the biggest profit at auction.

But it's no mean feat.

They'll be worthy winners Yes!

NARRATOR: And valiant losers.

So will it be the high road to glory?

Or the slow road to disaster.

Have a good trip.

[LAUGHTER] NARRATOR: This is the "Antiques Road Trip."

[MUSIC PLAYING] NARRATOR: Yeah.

Get your hankies at the ready.

It's the road trip finale for our fun loving experts Raj Bisram and Catherine Southon.

How do you really feel now that we are at the end?

This is it now.

The last leg of our journey.

Thank God for that, Catherine, [LAUGHTER] RAJ BISRAM: Just joking.

I'm only joking.

NARRATOR: They're in a classic 1967 MGB GT headed for beautiful Warwickshire.

And with just 4 pounds in it, there's everything to play for.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: It's good that there's only a few pounds between us it shows that there's somebody else as bad as me and they aren't winning.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

That's not the way to word it.

OK.

I'm just thinking, I'm glad you stepped your game up.

NARRATOR: But will Raj finally be able to let go of those purse strings?

By the end of today, I want to hear from you that you've really spent some money today.

Today is your day to spend it all.

NARRATOR: Indeed it is.

From his original 200 pounds Raj has upped his coffers to 395 pounds, which is not bad.

While Catherine is in the lead by just a whisker.

Her original plot has grown to a glorious 399 pounds and 66 pence.

RAJ BISRAM: The first potato grown in Britain that was brought back by Sir Walter Riley was grown in Warwickshire.

- Was it?

- Yeah.

I can tell you're impressed with that.

Really?

You're sure about that?

I am now.

NARRATOR: Check your facts.

Our pairs road trip kicked off in Cambridge and continued around eastern England headed north to Lincolnshire then Derbyshire before winding its way down via the West Midlands to Worcestershire.

Now the 600 mile trip will conclude in Bristol.

The final leg will begin some 70 miles north in Statford-upon-Avon.

How lovely.

Catherine's first shot today is in Shakespeare's hometown.

Tragedy, history or comedy, methinks.

Well, Catherine.

Here we are.

And in front of the jester.

The fool!

He's the fool from "King Lear."

Question is, to buy or not to buy?

[LAUGHTER] That is the question.

I bid thee farewell.

NARRATOR: Parting is such sweet sorrow.

Let's hope there's no drama in Catherine's first shop, Henley Street Antique Center.

There are two floors to rummage through, so she is spoiled for choice.

Hello.

What's this?

A silk.

Love the colors here.

The peacock perching on the branch.

Japanese.

Really good, vibrant colors.

When you're looking for something like this it's important to make sure that the colors aren't faded.

There's a few bits of wear, but generally speaking that's a really nice, clear image.

I'd say it's something that's probably really made more for the tourist market.

Going to be early-to-mid 20th century.

But it's still nice.

What's on that?

65 pounds.

One to think about.

NARRATOR: Let's leave Catherine to mooch on and catch up with Raj.

He's headed five miles southwest to Long Marston, a small village which harbored Charles II during the Battle of Worcester in 1651.

Raj is seeking refuge at the Barn Antique Center, where he's got over 13,000 square feet to explore.

It's a biggie.

Now, stay focused Raj.

Laura.

Yes Can I ask you some questions?

Of course you can.

I'm really being cheeky, OK?

There's a bit of a back story to this microscope that I'm interested in.

NARRATOR: A ticket price of 55 pounds.

Look out, Laura.

We were at an auction yesterday, and it was a really good auction.

But the one thing that didn't actually make any money was a microscope, which Catherine bought.

And I think it would be so cheeky of me if I can get that really cheap and it goes to auction and makes even just a little bit of profit, I'd be happy.

That is cheeky.

It is cheeky.

I know.

I know.

But ah, that's me.

Could I buy that for 20 pounds?

I'm sure we can do something for you, Raj, but what I will have to do is call the dealer and ask.

OK, if you would.

Yeah, absolutely, no problem at all.

NARRATOR: So let's leave Laura to make that call and shoot back to Stratford-upon-Avon and Catherine.

Now, what does dealer Stephen got in his counter?

Your little brooch there, OK. With the music-- what is it, music notes?

Yeah, little music notes.

I think, yeah.

What's that little sea pearls?

Yeah, sea pearls.

14 karat gold.

I think, as well.

Is it 14 carat?

Has it been tested?

- Yes.

It's been tested, that one.

I quite like that.

It's quite fun with a little musical notes.

I know brooches aren't really in vogue at the moment, but I think that's quite sweet.

What's the price on that?

For you, 30 pounds.

A special price.

OK. And what about this one, Steven?

Lovely little piece.

Bought both at a reasonable price.

Oh, did you?

NARRATOR: Watch out, Steven.

Yeah.

Can they be sold at a reasonable price.

That is the question.

Hopefully.

So this one you say was around-- 30 pounds, we'll let that one go at.

And this one to help you out, 80 pounds.

80.

Could I possibly buy that at 25?

Woo.

And what did you say for that one?

80, ideally.

Shall we say 100 for the two, then?

Can we do that?

Yeah, 100 for the two.

Oh, Steven I like you.

I'm glad I came in.

Right.

I shall pay you before you change your mind.

NARRATOR: Yes, quick.

That's a great deal, you know.

Catherine's off to a flying start.

Thanks a lot.

Bye.

NARRATOR: Right.

What news has Laura got on that microscope?

We wouldn't normally go down so low, but it turns out he's got quite the cheeky sense of humor like yourself and he said, yes.

Oh, fantastic.

Thank you.

Thank you so much, Laura.

No problem at all.

That's fantastic.

Well, that's great news.

20 pounds for it.

It isn't as good as the one that Catherine bought, but this is going to be interesting, isn't it?

I can't wait for the next auction now.

NARRATOR: Well, that was a successful, cheeky first buy for Raj.

Anything else?

RAJ BISRAM: These are quite nice chairs.

I mean they're not really my thing.

These are very, very modern design.

They almost look like they're Danish.

Let's have a look.

Yeah.

This says Danish designer chair.

It's got 35 pounds on the ticket.

That's for each chair.

NARRATOR: Oh, yeah.

210 pounds for the set, but they're no antique.

RAJ BISRAM: They're probably around 1970s, 1980, these chairs.

They're in good condition.

This is a real possibility.

NARRATOR: Time for some help.

Dealer Liz, you are needed.

I have to say, it's just so out of my field.

But I like them.

I think they are great design.

They're nice design.

Nice, clean design and simple.

RAJ BISRAM: What would be the best on them?

If I say 140, is that any good for you?

RAJ BISRAM: I'll be honest.

It's not a bad price.

What about 90 pounds?

OK if you can do 95.

95?

We'll have a deal.

At 95 pounds, I'm going to shake your hand.

Lovely.

That's great.

NARRATOR: Well done.

At 20 pounds for the microscope, and that's a spend of 115 pounds.

Raj, you have outdone yourself.

Meanwhile Catherine has taken our journey 17 miles north to Royal Leamington Spa in the heart of Warwickshire.

Catherine is headed to Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum to hear about the town's connection with the free Czechoslovakian army during the Second World War and an audacious plan to assassinate one of Hitler's inner circle.

Following the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1939 the Czech army was disbanded.

However, with men still willing to fight one option was to volunteer for the Allied armies leading to 4,000 military personnel from Czechoslovakia being deployed to Leamington Spa to take up training.

One of those men was George Pavel.

His family still live in the town, including his daughter-in-law, Georgina.

How these foreigners basically were integrated into British society, into Leamington Spa?

They were welcome.

Families took them home for dinner.

They were very kind to them.

Very good musicians came with the army and so they did concerts here in Leamington Spa.

They played football.

They were having actually quite interesting social life.

So they were really brought in to the families.

That's fantastic.

Many of them met English girls and even married them and had their children.

NARRATOR: However, with war still raging across Europe it wasn't long before a number of Czech soldiers were chosen to train as paratroop agents by the British Special Operations Executive.

They would be tasked to carry out sabotage missions in their homeland.

They started to train people like my father-in-law to come to do covert actions in what used to be Czechoslovakia.

NARRATOR: A top secret commander unit was assembled, and with a visit from Winston Churchill there was little doubt about the importance of their missions.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: So this is the army here?

Yes.

They saw Churchill.

Yes, inspecting them.

And literally inspecting them.

I mean he really is, isn't he?

The way that he's looking at them.

GEORGINA: And of course, President Benes was also very proud that Churchill actually came to see the Czechoslovakian soldiers.

NARRATOR: A select few were enrolled into what was to become known as Operation Anthropoid an assassination attempt on one of the main architects of the Holocaust and close confidant of Hitler, Reinhard Heydrich.

GEORGINA: It wasn't easy because he was guarded, and they had to find the way how to do it.

We.

Have here the order when it was decided.

You can see here.

Oh this is a copy of the order that they were given.

Yeah.

Oh fantastic.

And it says here, the object of the operation is the assassination of Herr Heydrich.

The time and the place of this operation will be decided on the spot, but the two agents concerned have been trained in all methods of assassination known to us.

Yes.

I'm afraid.

Yes, brutal.

Yes.

NARRATOR: This high risk plan was further fueled by obergruppenfuhrer Heydrich's violent destruction of the Czech resistance.

Heydrich was seen as a natural successor to Hitler.

His death would be a psychological, if not strategic, victory for the Allies.

And so it fell to the two key players of Operation Anthropoid Jozef Gabcik and Jan Kubis to carry out the attack.

On May the 22nd, 1942 news arrived that Heydrich was shortly to leave Prague.

En route near Prague Castle Heydrich's convertible car slowed to take a sharp corner where the anthropoid pair lay in wait.

Gabcik opened fire only for his gun to jam but Kubis threw a grenade, fatally wounding Heydrich.

And what was the fate of the assassins?

Did they manage to escape?

I'm afraid not.

They were hidden in a crypt in a church in Prague by the resistance.

They were betrayed, and Nazis surrounding the whole church.

There was a big fight for hours, and then eventually they wouldn't survive and saved their last bullets for themselves.

That's very sad Yes.

NARRATOR: The killing of Reinhard Heydrich was the only assassination of a senior Nazi figure during the war.

The repercussions were brutal.

13,000 arrests and hundreds of men and women were executed on Hitler's orders.

After the war many soldiers returned to Czechoslovakia, but some, like Georgina's father-in-law George, built a new life in Leamington Spa.

The generosity shown to members of the once exiled Czech army continued in the years that followed.

I think the British people understood how difficult it was for them, and Czechoslovakia was overrun and what they were facing.

So they were very supportive of them.

NARRATOR: A memorial fountain, in the shape of a parachute, sits in the town's Jephson's Gardens.

It commemorates the courageous men of the free Czechoslovakian army and their time in Leamington Spa.

Meanwhile Raj is back on the road and heading for the charming Warwickshire village of Little Alne and the location of his last shop.

What's the mood in the MGB?

RAJ BISRAM: Well, I'm really happy with today's buys.

My really, really cheeky buy, which is either going to make Catherine very happy or very grub, Is my microscope I saw it I had to have a go at it.

NARRATOR: Let's hope Catherine doesn't have a go at you, Raj.

But what can you find in Fabulous Finds Antiques?

There are three showrooms over two floors so lots of stock, but where to start eh, Raj?

Well of course, you can always take a [INAUDIBLE] at it.

I mean this is a lovely shaped 19th century Canton dish with a sort of famille rose pattern.

NARRATOR: Ticket price?

85 pounds.

Famille rose actually just means pink family.

That's it-- what it means literally translated.

It's a very, very unusual shape.

It has got a downside.

And the downside is that we can see that we've got a crack that runs all the way through on the top.

And if you turn it over it's got another one that goes through here.

If I can get that at the right price that might be a very nice little lot.

NARRATOR: Well that's a cracking start.

Raj is on a roll today.

RAJ BISRAM: And this is a blue and white Chinese, 19th century mug.

NARRATOR: It sports a 75 pound ticket price.

This is in good condition.

There's no markings to the base of it, but you can definitely see that it's a nice 19th century one from the glaze that's on the inside.

It's got a nice pattern on it.

There's a lot going on on this.

This is really quite nice.

NARRATOR: Time to talk money with dealer Caroline.

Standby.

RAJ BISRAM: I quite like it.

This side's fine.

But can you see here?

It's got this huge crack all the way across.

What's the very best on it?

I think I could probably do that 50.

50 pounds?

What about if we put this into the equation?

If I were to buy the two as one lot.

What could you do for two for?

I think if you brought the two, I could do them for 100.

What about if I said 80 for the two?

OK.

I think that's a little bit tight.

Could we do 90?

Meet halfway.

I'm not going to quibble.

90 pounds.

Let's shake hands.

- Thank you.

Thank you, Caroline.

Thank you very much, indeed.

Well, that's great because I'm going to put those two as one lot.

Oh.

OK.

So I've still got money to spend and I'm going to keep looking.

NARRATOR: Good grief, Raj.

You are a man on a mission today.

What in the world will you find next?

RAJ BISRAM: A globe.

I love globes because they tell you about the social history of the world and how the world, especially today, has changed.

And this one is dated 1946.

And so countries that some people have never even heard of.

For example, Ceylon comes to mind.

Belgian Congo-- places that don't really exist.

French West Africa.

Lovely thing.

I mean what's the price on the price ticket.

We've got 90 pounds on the price ticket.

I mean at auction that's going to make 40 to 60 pounds.

That's what they fetch at auction.

NARRATOR: Time to speak to Caroline again.

This globe.

I quite like it.

- Yes But I think you know as well as I do what they're going to make at auction.

I do.

How about 40 pounds?

[GASPS] 40 pounds?

RAJ BISRAM: I think at 40 pounds I've got a chance but only a slight chance.

I love them, though.

They are wonderful, aren't they?

I think so you've got a chance at auction we'll do it then.

You're happy with that?

I think we'll do-- Yes 40 pounds.

Let's do that.

I'm definitely going to buy it.

Thank you so much.

- No, you're welcome.

- Fantastic - You're welcome.

Brilliant NARRATOR: Raj is actually spending some cash today.

At 90 pounds for the famille rose dish and the Chinese mug to add to the 40 pounds for the globe, Raj has spent 130 pounds all in one shop.

Blow me down, all at once.

That's all the shopping done for today then.

Time for Catherine to join Raj in the MG.

So what has been your favorite part of the journey so far?

I love the sea and I love that Suffolk coast that we were on.

I don't remember that, sure.

I think you were there.

You're right, Raj.

That's why it was memorable.

I wasn't there.

Oh maybe that was the-- maybe that was last year on holiday.

NARRATOR: Nighty, night, then.

It's a tough start today too.

Emotional, also.

Get your hankies out.

This is our last shopping day together, Raj.

This is the end.

- I know.

I know.

Don't.

I'm sad.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Tragedy.

RAJ BISRAM: Catherine, this is a little bit dicey we're coming up to a fjord here.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: This is not a fjord, this is a river.

RAJ BISRAM: Oh.

Can you swim?

Well done.

Was that well done?

Yes.

Raj, why are you holding on?

I don't know.

NARRATOR: Heh.

Heh.

His age dear.

Well, he's certainly not been holding back from the buying.

So far Raj has bought four lots-- the set of six Scandinavian chairs, the boxed microscope, the Chinese dish and mug, and the 1940s Philips globe.

Leaving him with 150 pounds.

This.

Is going to be interesting.

NARRATOR: Meanwhile, Catherine has just bought one lot so far-- the Edwardian brooches.

Can they be sold at a reasonable price?

That is the question.

NARRATOR: Leaving her with a substantial 299 pounds and 66 pence to spend today.

Revved up and ready to go, Catherine's dropping rush off in Solihull where he's got a date with a local legend which came into being just down the road in Birmingham, the iconic Northland motor bicycle.

Museum director James Hewing is going to guide Raj through the story of the most famous name in British motorcycle racing history and reveal how it played a significant role during the Second World War.

Let's start with the earliest Norton in the collection just through here.

Fantastic.

NARRATOR: The firm was founded in 1898 by James Lansdowne Norton originally producing bicycles, however, when the company was contracted in 1982 to make frames for a powered bicycle, it inspired Norton to launch its own motorbike the Energette.

JAMES HEWING: Well this is one of three of the earliest surviving machines made by Norton, dating from 1903.

RAJ BISRAM: All this kit.

What are these levers for, for example?

JAMES HEWING: On early motorcycles the throttle, as it were, the air mixture, the timing, everything was controlled by levers so much more complicated.

And you can imagine your hands would have been going like this.

You were very busy just keeping the thing running properly.

NARRATOR: With the focus now solely on motorcycle production the Norton name was destined to become associated with sporting success.

And it wasn't long before Norton bikes were winning major races around the world, including the biggest.

JAMES HEWING: Next we've got one of the pride of the collection, Raj.

We've got the Norton that actually won the first TT in 1907.

- Is this it?

- Yeah.

It is, indeed.

Yeah.

Wow.

JAMES HEWING: A lot of people have heard of the TT because it's still going today and very famous road race on the Isle of Man.

The most challenging motorcycle race in the world, for sure.

And we're lucky enough to have the machine that won the first event.

So how fast did this one go?

Well this one actually averaged over the course about 42 miles an hour.

And that doesn't sound a lot, but if you think about the rough road conditions, the size of the tires, the lack of brakes, he was probably 65, 70 miles an hour heady speeds to actually average 42 miles an hour.

RAJ BISRAM: I noticed that this number plate is the same one that's on that bike there.

So is that the guy who rode that bike.

That's right.

Yes.

It's a gentleman called Rem Fowler.

And that's a contemporary picture from the time of this very machine.

Yeah.

Fantastic.

But there's one thing I've got to do before we go.

This is the child in me.

[HONK] Everybody does.

NARRATOR: I bet.

The outbreak of World War II would change Norton.

It became one of the most important military motorbike producers of the conflict.

Its machines were used for reconnaissance, convoy control, and escort duties.

JAMES HEWING: What the military loved about these Norton singles, and they call them side valve slugger's because they were low revving and they slogged away.

And there were very, very reliable.

They proved to be very reliable in some very adverse conditions.

Can I have a sit on it and see how comfortable it was?

You have a sit.

Yes.

I mean they covered some ground on this, and I mean a lot of bouncing up and down.

A lot of bouncing up and down.

Yeah.

You had to be quite fit to, uh-- Yeah.

Yeah.

I think a lot of these guys-- obviously they trained as regular soldiers before they were seconded to be dispatch riders.

But they have to be extremely fit.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: At the end of the war Britain was financially destitute and the government encouraged manufacturers to sell their products abroad.

Consequently, Norton motorbikes were made almost exclusively for export and rare to buy at home.

James, there has to be something really special about this bike because there was 849 in there and there's one out here.

Why is this one so important?

Well Raj, this one was actually given to George Formby of the ukulele fame presented to him at the factory gates in Bracebridge street in 1947.

Huge publicity obviously for them because you've got to remember what a big star Formby was post-war and to get a bike new in this country was unheard of.

Well you had to be George Formby.

Is this a bike, James, that I'm allowed to sit on.

Well, you know, Raj, we can do more than that.

Let's go out on it.

- Wow.

Let's take her for a spin.

NARRATOR: Uh-oh.

There goes our bovver boy.

GEORGE FORMBY: (SINGING) I'm the ukulele man.

NARRATOR: Well, I never.

Meanwhile Catherine is headed to Coventry and Green's Home and Garden.

- Hello, sir.

- Oh.

Hello.

- Who might you be?

- Charles.

Hello Charles.

I'm Catherine.

NARRATOR: And she has a smidge over 299 pounds weighing down her purse.

Aha.

OK.

I'm not a big doggy person, but look at these Staffordshire poodles.

NARRATOR: Little porcelain doggies like these were popular ornaments in the early 20th century.

Oh gosh they're actually really horrible.

They're 1920s.

I would say.

I think I like them because they're so horrible.

And they're horrible pebbledashed mane.

49 pounds.

If I could get those for about 20-ish, somebody at the auction will love them because they're poodles.

I'm sure.

The thing is they're not uncommon.

These things were produced en masse but to find a pair in good condition they are a possibility.

And I have just seen enamel brooches.

Two of them.

Look at those.

They're stunning.

Let's have a look.

This one straightaway-- I'm turning it over and I can see that it's not silver.

And there are no marks whatsoever.

But the butterfly itself is beautifully enamel.

There's no cracks.

There's no damage.

Because once this chips it's really hard to repair.

Now this one I love.

It is silver which is a good sign.

I think together they could work.

What's the price?

68 pounds on the silver one.

I'm 20 pounds on that one.

NARRATOR: Time to talk to Charles.

OK.

This is not me, and this is not the norm.

This is not something I would normally buy, but poodles.

There are 49 pounds on those.

Do you know what you could do on those?

CHARLES: 35, maybe.

Not sort of 25.

30.

30.

OK.

Right.

Keep that thought in mind.

I also saw these two brooches.

What about prices on those?

OK. We could do that one-- we could go down to about 13 on that one.

40 on that one.

53 then for the two.

Call it 50 for the two.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: And what did we say for the poodles?

I think we finalized on 30.

30.

If I took it all, could we say, 25?

And could we say, 40?

65 I'd-- - Go on.

- Go on.

One poodle-- Yes, one poodle lover to another.

You're buying three items, so we can do that.

Yes.

OK.

Put it there.

OK. NARRATOR: A few more lots for auction.

Well done, Catherine.

Now how about Raj?

He's headed for Coventry and his final shop Antiques in a Barn.

He's got 150 pounds burning a hole in his pocket.

Hello.

DIANE: Hello.

- I'm Raj.

Hello Raj.

I'm Diane.

Have a look around and hopefully you'll find something nice.

Catherine will be here soon.

OK. You don't have to be so nice to her.

OK.

I'm just joking She's lovely.

She's absolutely lovely.

NARRATOR: Better make the most of that head start then.

Oh.

There's something really lovely here.

It's a Scottish mall which is a snuff box.

NARRATOR: A snuff mall is a Scottish term to describe a snuff container which almost always is in the form of a lidded ram's horn.

I love them.

I can't see the price ticket.

Diane.

NARRATOR: This looks promising.

DIANE: It's beautiful.

Isn't it?

It's absolutely gorgeous.

DIANE: It's only just come in, that has.

RAJ BISRAM: Has it?

It's 265.

NARRATOR: Oh, dear.

That's more than I've got.

Do you know what the very best on that would be?

- I'll go and find out for you.

- Would you?

OK. Do you want to carry on looking at it and I'll-- Yeah.

I'll keep looking at it because I love it.

I think it's gorgeous.

I mean it's a really lovely piece.

And he's got 265 on it.

These usually make at auction between 300 and 400 pounds.

I've got 150 pounds left.

It is a long shot, but I would love to take that to auction.

It's a gorgeous, gorgeous piece.

DIANE: Right.

The best he can do on it is 200.

As I say, it's only been since last Thursday so it's-- I mean.

I know.

That's fair enough.

I've got 150 pounds.

He won't do that.

He won't do that.

No.

That's all I've got.

Yeah.

If it was old stock then-- - Yeah.

No.

No.

Fair enough.

No.

I totally understand that.

I think it's lovely NARRATOR: Raj, perhaps you shouldn't have spent all that cash earlier.

But look what's arrived.

And Catherine still has over 200 and 34 pounds still to splash.

Are you having a good time?

To be honest.

Have you spent more than five pounds?

I have spent nearly all my money, Catherine.

I don't have hardly anything left.

Let me go and do some shopping.

OK you go and do some shopping.

NARRATOR: Has dealer Malcolm got any tips for Catherine?

CATHERINE SOUTHON: What have we got?

It's beautiful.

Georgian, probably.

I believe so.

Yes.

NARRATOR: That looks familiar.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: David Lindsay.

So he was the farmer?

Most probably.

There's certainly somebody of that name in the area today that is farming.

- Oh.

Really?

- Yes.

We looked it up on the net.

This is fresh to the market.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: So price?

I can do you a deal on it particularly if you buy one or two more items.

So if I put this by the till and you go and have a look we see what we can do.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: That's quite exciting.

It's a bit of a gamble piece, but you know when you see something of quality you might have talked me into it.

NARRATOR: Might Catherine steal the snuff mall from under Raj's nose?

There's lots of bits and pieces in here.

It's a bit of a minefield, but I haven't actually bought a piece of silver this time.

And I've just seen a bit of silver that I quite like.

It depends who made it and what condition is in.

But this is, I believe it's a telescopic pencil.

NARRATOR: Look out.

Diane's back.

RAJ BISRAM: Tell me what you know about this.

DIANE: It's silver.

RAJ BISRAM: Yeah.

DIANE: It's made by a company called Samson Mortar.

Yeah.

Good company.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's not hallmarked, so I can't date it.

It's not hallmarked.

DIANE: No.

There's no hallmark on there.

I can't find it.

What have you got on it?

155.

What about 100 pounds?

120?

I do this a lot.

What about splitting the difference and calling it 110?

DIANE: Yes.

Got it.

RAJ BISRAM: You sure?

110 pounds.

OK.

Thank you very much.

Let's shake hands.

NARRATOR: Straight to the point.

Well done, my friend.

That's your shopping done.

How's Catherine getting on?

Quite a nice cheap luggage here.

This is lovely.

What a lovely color.

I know it's plain but that is actually a really nice color.

To get locks like that these days-- And strapped inside to keep your woolly jumpers nice and snug.

35 pounds.

It's in the bag.

Malcolm.

I've left him.

The time has come I've had enough.

I'm off.

Well, don't forget to take this with you.

Right.

I found this suitcase.

I think it's quite nice.

Nice color.

You've got-- is it yours?

No.

No.

Whoever has got 35 on it.

I have the power.

Oh.

Do you?

I do.

I like you.

I'll make you an offer on the two.

My offer is 160.

MALCOLM: I'd like to make you a counter offer.

A very, very generous 170 with one condition.

You walk the dogs.

Right.

Here you go.

Here you go.

Here you go.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Oh.I dropped it.

Oh my God.

I'm going to lose his dog.

Oh my goodness me.

Good dog.

Good girl.

Or boy.

NARRATOR: That was a deal then.

That was the suitcase for 30 pounds and the snuff mall for 140 pounds.

Time to return to the MG and that other good boy, Raj.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: So we're we thinking out of the box?

I think so for Bristol.

But it's quite trendy, isn't it?

Yeah it's really trendy.

RAJ BISRAM: I think funky things, unusual things-- You do funky.

I do.

I do funky.

Yeah.

[INTERPSOSING VOICES] RAJ BISRAM: You notice when I say the word funky I start moving.

Did you notice that?

Yeah.

[LAUGHTER] NARRATOR: Hey, all that moving, you must be tired.

Time for some shuteye.

Morning from a beautiful Bristol-- great city whose motto is by virtue and industry, and I'm sure it has more than enough of both.

A big bridge, too.

The Clifton suspension bridge has spanned the Avon Gorge for over 150 years.

Today is the conclusion of this pair's road trip.

After setting off from Stratford-upon-Avon it's now time for that final auction.

RAJ BISRAM: Our final auction.

This is it.

I know.

I know.

I'm sad it's come to an end, but I've brought some friends along.

Your girls.

[LAUGHTER] NARRATOR: Today's sale is held at East Bristol Auctions.

Raj bought five lots to sell here all for a whopping 355 pounds.

While Catherine also picked up 5 lots spending 335 pounds.

Both spent a fair whack of their starting kitties hoping for big profits.

But what do they make of each other's buys?

It's quite funny.

As microscopes go this is way down the bottom of the pile.

What can I say, it's horrible.

He'd paid 20 pounds.

You know what knowing Raj he'll probably make 40 pounds on it, but it's horrible.

This.

I can't believe it's here.

I offered him 150 pounds for this.

And he sold it to Catherine for 140.

Why would he take less?

NARRATOR: You didn't walk the dogs.

Unbelievable.

NARRATOR: The man with the gavel today is Andrew Stowe.

So what does he make of our expert's items?

The Philips globe is wonderful.

It's exactly what people want on their desks at work.

It's a classic antique but with a little bit of a retro twist, which is exactly what people want.

We've had a lot of interest in the globe and I'm sure it will find a new home.

The pair of brooches are very nice.

They're really nicely detailed particularly the butterfly.

It's bright.

It's colorful.

It's retro and quirky.

It's what everybody wants.

I have every hope that they will do very, very well.

NARRATOR: With bidders online and in the room it's time to take a seat.

Ready for this?

Oh, wow.

Our last auction.

How fantastic is this?

NARRATOR: First up are Raj is set of six Scandinavian chairs.

I think these have got legs.

Who wants to start me at 80 pounds?

[GAVEL POUNDS] - You OK?

I think that was really, really good.

NARRATOR: That's more like it.

Well done, Raj.

That's an all around success.

Thank you for that.

My best buy My only profit.

NARRATOR: Catherine's enamel brooches are next.

You're a brooch man, aren't you?

Oh, absolutely.

RAJ BISRAM: It's a massive loss.

[GAVEL POUNDS] It did look really good up there, actually.

Raj, don't.

Oh.

NARRATOR: Bad luck, Raj.

That better?

That was a big mistake.

NARRATOR: Will Catherine's Staffordshire poodles make her top dog?

[AUCTIONEER CHANT] Oh, they are so ugly.

At 100 on commission, now.

Who wants 110?

Then who wants 110?

I would have thought the internet would come in on that.

Surely.

NARRATOR: No messing about there, Raj.

No lingering.

No begging.

NARRATOR: Will Catherine's music themed Edwardian brooches strike a chord?

At 36 pounds.

At 44 pounds, an absentee bid.

At 44 pounds.

[GAVEL POUNDS] It's hard to know what to say at times like this, Catherine.

Don't say anything.

NARRATOR: Blimey.

That hit a bit of a bum note.

Never mind, Catherine.

Oh.

Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

It's all right.

It's OK. NARRATOR: Last up for Raj is that boxed microscope.

[LAUGHTER] NARRATOR: Actually a microscopic profit but still a profit.

I'm sorry about that.

Can I never do this with you again?

You don't mean that.

I do.

NARRATOR: Finally, the most coveted item of the week, the Scottish snuff mull.

Our last lot.

It's very, very nice at 160.

[GAVEL POUNDS] Oh.

That's lovely.

I've only made 20 pounds.

NARRATOR: Still ending on a profit, Catherine.

Well done.

It's been really close, hasn't it?

Close.

I mean, I think, there's literally that much in it.

Yeah.

And I think you might have just done it.

Should we do it all again?

I'd love to do it all again with you.

Let's start again right from scratch.

NARRATOR: Perhaps we should do some sums first though.

Catherine started with 399 pounds and 66 pence and, after auction costs, she made a loss of 69 pounds and 32 pence, rounding off this trip with 330 pounds and 34p.

Raj started this thing with 395 pounds and, after auction fees, he made a loss of 54 pounds and six pence.

So his winning total is 340 pounds and 94 pence, making him today's and the trip's overall winner by just 10 pounds and 60 pence.

All profits go to children in need.

Your friends are still waiting for you.

I know.

I know.

My fans.

What a trip.

It was fantastic.

I'm looking forward to the next one, Catherine.

I would love to do another one with you.

Come on then.

Let's get started.

NARRATOR: Please do.

You two have been a class act.

Starting off today.

How are you feeling?

Fantastic.

Oh, you are a devil.

NARRATOR: We've had some mishaps.

I just picked something off a shelf, and I dropped it.

And it's gone under the cabinet.

NARRATOR: Some unusual finds.

Isn't this something you pee in?

NARRATOR: And quality bonding... What do you think?

Beautiful.

NARRATOR: Some hard bargaining from the dealers.

I'd arm wrestle you for it.

You would lose.

And one of the closest competitions in road trip history.

My heart was going.

Yours must have been racing.

I have had absolutely great fun.

It has been good.

NARRATOR: Hasn't it just?

See you next time.
