VOICEOVER (VO): Some of the nation's favorite celebrities... Why have I got such expensive taste?

VO: ..one antiques expert each... Oh!

Oh, yeah.

VO: ..and one big challenge - who can seek out and buy the best antiques at the very best prices.

Answers on a postcard.

Oh!

VO: ..and auction for a big profit further down the road?

There'll be trouble if you're wrong!

VO: Who will spot the good investments?

Who will listen to advice?

Do you like it?

No, I think it's horrible.

VO: And who will be the first to say "Don't you know who I am?!"

Well done us.

VO: Time to put your pedal to the metal - this is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip!

VO: Yeah!

VO: We're in the green and pleasant heart of England for another celebrity battle to create colossal profits from antiques.

Venturing out from behind the microphone are two giants of the airwaves, each clutching £400 - Radio 2 stars Janice Long and Ken Bruce.

So here we are.

Two days, out on the road.

Thelma and Louise all over again with one slight difference.

Phew, we're not going off a cliff, are we?

Well, that wasn't the difference, no!

VO: When he's not doing a poor impression of Thelma... Or was it Louise?

..Ken Bruce reaches over eight million listeners a week with his morning shows on Radio 2 and he's definitely the "Popmaster".

The great thing about radio is that we're paid to have fun, isn't it, you know?

It's a shame to take the money.

We'll carry on taking the money, of course, but it is a shame to take it, because it's a great laugh, isn't it?

Yeah.

VO: Since then, the tracks of his years have included 25 years commentating on the Eurovision Song Contest.

And he clearly had a premonition of today's battle.

Much as I love spending the time with you, Jan, I do intend to win this, I'm going to absolutely... (JANICE CHUCKLES) ..grind your face into the dirt on this.

I'm gonna make a fortune.

You wanna bet?

Yeah, no, no actually, I don't.

VO: I'm not taking sides.

But you'd have to concede Ken's mastered the 1980 Corvette Stingray with aplomb.

Anyway, back to formidable women.

Janice was there for Live Aid and regularly hosted the iconic Top of the Pops.

It's nice to hang out with you because we work different hours.

Yeah, cuz I mean you're finished at two in the morning.

At two in the morning.

And I don't come in until eight in the morning, so...

I'm surprised you don't hang around just to see me.

No, I hang around the station in the hopes I'll see you.

Hang around Marylebone.

Ah, yes, that's where we have our secret little trysts of a morning.

Our brief encounters.

Yes.

"Hello."

BOTH: (CHUCKLE) VO: Actually, these veterans are number one when it comes to broadcasting, and Ken wants the same from his antiques expert.

I hope I'm going to get somebody really experienced... Yeah.

..who's got the best eye for a bargain, somebody who's been around a long time.

Perhaps an older person.

VO: Someone just like Christina Trevanion?

I was born the year that Ken Bruce started work on Radio 2.

Now, magic.

He's going to love that, isn't he?

VO: Yes, our Radio 2-some are en route to rendezvous with antiques experts Christina Trevanion and Paul Laidlaw and Christina's feeling frisky!

Oh.

I tell you what, this is living the dream, isn't it?

Isn't it just?

Driving through the English countryside in a beautiful car, with a handsome man.

Ho-ho!

Who's he?

Is there somebody in the boot?

I wondered what that banging was coming from the back!

VO: There's not much room for a man in the boot of their 1964 MGB convertible.

But it's no problem, Christina finds other things handsome.

I think I've fallen in love with a brick.

VO: She learned to spot appealing things while training at a major London auction house, and now heads up the jewelry department of an auctioneer in Shropshire.

An avid collector of teapots, she also writes and lectures on things with bling.

Wow.

I'm quite liking that.

VO: Burning the rubber is Paul Laidlaw.

An antiques geek from childhood, he's never stopped being fascinated.

That's working on many levels for me!

VO: After a brief flirtation with accountancy, he abandoned totting up in favor of lotting up.

My kind of shop!

Good man, good man.

VO: And realizing auction houses were a good place to indulge his passion for arms and armor and all things Georgian.

As long as it's not the car that's making that smell.

That burning smell.

It might be me.

Cuz you're on fire, baby!

Yeah, baby!

VO: Well, I hate to douse the flames, you two, but you've a road trip to think about.

VO: Hot pursuit of the perfect purchase begins in the Northamptonshire town of Brackley, takes a delightfully dotty meander to the Chilterns and Cotswolds, and ends a mere 11 miles from the start, at an auction near Banbury in Oxfordshire.

Ta-da!

VO: Christina and Paul are first to arrive in Brackley, a traditional, quiet market town for 364 days of the year.

Hey!

But today is Brackley Carnival day, and you'll never guess who's accidentally taking part.

JANICE: Ken.

KEN: What?

How did you get us involved in this, a carnival?

I blame you, you're the navigator, I'm simply the driver.

I recognize that two.

Ah!

There they are.

That's a cool car.

They've got expert written all over them!

Hello.

I take it you're lost?

Yes, yes.

How did you manage to get here?

We've been very lucky.

He went, "I want to be in that carnival".

It's show business, you see, I've got to be in it, I've got to be in it.

Brilliant, well, we won't hold you up, we'll see you in a second.

Find us a way out, that's it.

VO: A few nifty maneuvers later, it's time to get properly acquainted.

Here we are.

Here we are.

Hello there.

How are you doing?

I'm Paul.

Very good, Paul, good to see you.

KEN: Hi, Christina.

PAUL: Janice.

Straight in there, I like it.

Good to see you.

Are you well?

You've lost the wheels, where are they?

Ah, I've left them back up there, I've got...

The pipe band are looking after them for me.

They can always be trusted.

Is that your own personal pipe band?

They follow me everywhere, it's like a private army.

PAUL: A good look!

KEN: Yeah, yeah.

So what happens now?

We're gonna buddy up.

Lady's choice.

Erm... A mix?

I don't mind.

I'm gonna split these mighty Scots up, because I think they might be too strong, and also...

So, there we are.

..I'm a bit of a Popmaster fan.

VO: Gosh, she is keen on Ken!

Come with me.

I'm really sorry you're losing today.

Fighting talk!

VO: With teams decided, everyone's starting their quest here in Brackley.

So, have we got a plan?

Well, no, no.

In a word, no.

I just think, you know, I'll look for something nice.

Something nice, something that you like.

Well, something, if I think it's attractive, then surely somebody else will think it's attractive, and they'll pay lots of money for that.

Well, it's a vague plan.

KEN: Yeah.

CHRISTINA: Yeah.

Let's go.

VO: Can this be the same Ken who was going to grind Janice into the dirt?

Without further ado let's see if Team Bruce can up their game amidst the delights of Brackley Antiques Cellar.

It is huge.

VO: Spread over 30,000 square feet, it has over 160 dealers in antiques and collectables.

A preliminary scoot around reveals Ken's diverse tastes.

And he gravitates to his own field of expertise.

Here's a radio, let's see who's on it.

CHRISTINA: (LAUGHS) Oh... Radio 2.

Ah, but that's... Actually, it's on long wave, so it would now be Radio 4.

So this pre-dates 1978.

I've got this dated already.

Yeah you have, very impressive.

This is '60s or '70s.

There's a Radio Times here as well.

Do you think you might be in it?

Probably.

Which year was it?

1937.

Oh, yes, I am!

VO: So, collectable but not antique yet, Ken!

Come in, we're open.

Where are they?

I don't know, already probably buying stuff.

Is that them with a shopping trolley?

VO: Janice and Paul are hot on the heels of Ken and Christina if they can work out a plan.

Right, where shall we start?

What are you likely to be drawn to?

Are you jewelry, is it gonna be something random and...

I like sort of sculptures.

Mm-hm.

It might be a painting.

Erm...

It could be a box.

Er...

It could be a rug.

Frankly, it could be anything, I think, is what we're saying.

VO: Yeah, anything, eh?

Go for it, Paul!

What's your kneejerk reaction to the bamboo easel?

Quite ugly, but at the same time, it's got an appeal.

Ugly nice, not just ugly ugly.

I love bamboo furniture.

When it's of an age, and in this instance...

So how old is that?

That's a Victorian piece.

VO: Oh.

The manufacturing of mass-market bamboo furniture peaked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Just about anything that could be made from it was - from beds and tables to jardinieres and whatnots.

I think that would be quite striking.

I'm loving this, keep selling it to me!

PAUL: (WHISPERS) No price tag on that.

Can we put that on the list, do you think?

I think maybe we can.

How much is it?

£75, there you go.

At 75 it's got legs, but I'd love to be able to buy it for 50.

OK, that's one that might have potential.

VO: Janice and Paul might be onto a roll - and Ken definitely is.

(DRUMROLL) Oh, drumroll.

I like it.

Yes.

Yeah, oh.

Is that for my... Keep that noise down, Bruce!

(THEY LAUGH) How did she know?

Well, I think we ought to go for something musical, really, hadn't we?

It's not a very good snare, though.

Is it a little bit rickety?

Yes, it's pretty light.

I'm a drummer.

You are a drummer.

In a band.

So what do you call yourselves?

Well, we started off calling ourselves No Direction...

But I think Bandwidth is what we call ourselves.

Bandwidth as in... KEN: More to do with the waist.

CHRISTINA: Right, OK. VO: I wonder if they'll get a record deal?

Speaking of which...

Excuse me.

Do I sense a bit of self-indulgence here?

Sorry!

I was just looking at that, way before my time, this Top Of The Pops album, but very funny when I was a kid, because they always had these albums, and generally the woman on the front was in a crochet bikini.

VO: Was it itsy bitsy teeny weeny too?

Ooo arr!

Better get back to business, eh?

A wooden plaque here with some age, and I can tell you straight away that you're almost certainly at the 19th century, and no later than let's say 1920s.

VO: I'm guessing it's not love at first sight here.

Why am I looking at that?

Well, we've ascertained... Tell me why.

It's horrible!

It's not.

Look at the quality of the workmanship there.

That's...

I'll need to get closer.

It just looks really tacky from there.

That's not some 1920s chap doing a little bit of DIY arts and crafts metalwork, that's a trained artisan.

That's good work.

Now, you put that in any sale and I'm telling you that's worth £30 to £50.

Look at the price tag.

15.

If it was about numbers, we'd be looking at this, and do you know what, it is about numbers, and I'm gonna take it off the wall.

Unless you say, "Laidlaw, I'm disowning you if you do.

(CHUCKLES) "You're on your own!"

I think I'm disowning him.

Erm... You hate that, don't you?

Look... We don't have to take it home.

Well, I'll think about it.

Honestly, I'll take your advice, but I just find it particularly ugly.

VO: Persuading Janice that it could ever make a profit is going to be tough, Paul!

Christina's letting Ken's preference, rather than profit, guide their browsing.

This, um, little curling stone, cuz I actually was captain of curling at school, I played curling.

Really?

Yeah, for about four years at school in Glasgow.

And I became the captain of the curling team.

In Scotland it's still a big sport cuz there's natural ice of course in many places.

Mm.

Usually in the summer!

VO: The stone is a charming little ink well, but even Ken's not convinced.

On the other side of the Cellar, Paul and Janice have decided to buy the bamboo easel, so it's time for a pep talk on haggling.

What are you like at turning on the charm, are you...?

I am absolutely useless at haggling, but in this instance I will do it.

My advice?

PAUL: Cry if need be.

JANICE: OK Do what it takes!

Beg!

VO: You're shameless Mr Laidlaw!

The dealer isn't there, so Cellar owner Jim Broomfield steps in.

There are a few missing, I would call them paterae or targets.

Erm... That's our route in, would you mention that to them?

Give them a ring and be straight back in two minutes.

JANICE: Thank you.

Thank you.

PAUL: Really appreciate that.

VO: Paul's hoping to get the easel for £50.

Here's our man, he's got a big smile on his face.

I phoned the dealer, and, erm...

He's a big fan of yours, Janice.

JANICE: Is he?

JIM: He is.

JIM: 45.

JANICE: Thank you!

Loving your work.

Lovely, thank you very much, thank you.

You're welcome.

Get in, thanks Jim.

Magic.

VO: Inspired, Janice decides to buy the brass plaque she hates.

Is the dealer gonna be glad to see the back of that?

I would be.

Janice will be!

Don't slip it in my suitcase.

VO: Jim's call to that dealer reveals another Janice fan and a discount from £15 to £8.

We'll go with that, definitely.

I don't think that's a difficult one.

That's brilliant, absolutely brilliant, you've done a great job for us, thank you.

VO: That's two items and one very manly hug in the bag.

Meanwhile, Ken's still pursuing his passions.

Ah-hah!

Now, look.

Bus stop.

Bus stop, this is perfect for me.

Oh, why?

Because I have buses.

You have buses?

Yeah.

Buses, plural?

Cor, it's heavy.

(METAL PINGS) Proper London Transport Request bus stop.

Right, OK.

I am a bus man.

Erm...

I bought a bus along with some friends a few years ago, and we now have a total of six.

VO: Ken's a real enthusiast who knows all about authentic liveries, period wing mirrors and the like and he passed the test for a bus driving license.

There's a big transport memorabilia thing, and very often, these things are reproduction, but this looks totally original.

It does, certainly looks like it's been, yes, liberated.

And I think...

I do like this.

I know a lot of people who are also interested in this sort of thing.

OK. That is music to my ears, brilliant, OK. What's the price on that?

KEN: £68.

CHRISTINA: £68.

VO: Ken and Christina call in owner Debbie Perry.

Price tag says £68, which I think is a little bit on the high side for this.

The best we can do is 50, but I think... That is very re-sellable, I think you could do very well with that.

Well, I'd be happy to pay £50 for that, if Debbie would be happy to accept.

I'd be very happy, yes, that'd be great.

Brilliant, there we go.

Sounds like a deal.

Sounds like a deal, let's shake your hand.

Thank you Debbie.

I don't have a spare hand, otherwise I might... Do you want me to take the sign?

CHRISTINA: Shake over the sign.

KEN: Thank you, Debbie.

VO: So, the Ken Bruce buying spree has started with a stop sign.

VO: But it's Ken and Christina's cue to head for Wythall in Worcestershire to indulge his passion further.

VO: The journey is Christina's chance to put the question she's been itching to pop.

It must be quite odd being a radio personality, do you get recognized a lot?

No, not a lot.

Out and about?

No, not too much.

Er, I get, sometimes I get some looks as if to say "Do I know you from somewhere?"

which could have been the pub probably.

And sometimes when I speak, people suddenly do a sort of double take.

I can imagine.

And then they say, "Goodness me", you know, "There's that young man's voice coming out of an old bloke."

(THEY LAUGH) VO: Ken and Christina's road trip is making a Request stop that should be heaven for a bus enthusiast.

Hello, hi.

Hi, I'm Christina.

Hello, I'm Pete.

Hi, Pete.

Hi, Ken, good to see you.

Welcome to the Transport Museum, Wythall.

We've got vehicles ranging from the '30s to the '70s up there.

Gosh, right through, whole spectrum.

Right through.

And you've got some more inside?

Yes, yes.

Would you like to come this way?

Let's have a look.

Brilliant.

VO: The museum's volunteers are dedicated to the restoration of West Midlands public service vehicles, including Midland red buses.

The collection's oldest bus is part-way through restoration.

Oh, wow, this looks amazing.

This is a beauty, isn't it?

This is our 1913 Tilling-Stevens petrol electric...

Petrol electric?

Petrol electric, so you have a petrol engine... CHRISTINA: (GASPS) ..driving a generator, driving an electric motor.

Right.

So when they talk about the modern motors, with petrol electric drive, they've got it in 1913.

Yeah, it's 100 years old.

Yes.

Exactly 100 years old, oh, my goodness.

Can we go inside?

Yes, you can go in.

VO: Ken's buses all date from the 1960s, so this centenarian is unfamiliar.

Oh, it's quite a leap, isn't it?

Leap of faith.

VO: Ooh, and there's lots to learn!

Heave-ho!

The vehicle that you're sitting on, the body that you're sitting against is the only original part of the vehicle, which actually was used as a greenhouse.

That's how we found it.

There's nothing else, there's only a wheel and a handbrake.

Handbrake, yes.

We need to acquire some more things, like the control gear in the front.

Oh, right, I was wondering.

But you've got the steering wheel!

That's good, wheels move.

VO: With a top speed of 12 miles an hour, thank goodness bus technology has moved on.

And it's all here for Ken to enjoy, but he seems easily diverted.

There's one thing I notice, Pete, there's all these buses and then I see this, which is demonstrably not a bus.

Well, it's a fire engine.

I thought that, I thought that.

This is a 1935 Leyland fire engine.

But the ladder that you see on it is a Metz ladder.

That's a German ladder, and this was built obviously before the war started.

VO: The ladder was used to rescue people from burning buildings, notably during the bombing in Coventry in World War II.

These days it's simply a fascinating window on the past.

With early vehicles, your accelerator was in the middle.

The brass pedals have got A, B and C - accelerator, brake, clutch.

So if you forget, you can have a look!

But not while you're driving.

Well, not while you're driving.

Yes, probably wise.

But you are an emergency vehicle, so...

Stand well back!

(BELL RINGS) Is that what you said?

Come on, stop playing, we're talking about buses.

VO: Well said, Christina!

Well, I think you'll recognize this one, Ken.

Ah... A Routemaster.

Yes, but your vehicle is a RM.

KEN: Yeah.

PETE: Ours is a RCL... VO: RM?

RCL?

Come on, Christina.

Hang on a second.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Start again, this is a Routemaster bus...

It's a Routemaster bus, yes.

It's a Routemaster coach.

Right.

This is a coach.

What does that mean?

It means it's more comfortable inside, it's got a parcel shelf inside and it had a different diff.

VO: If you're finding this diff-icult, it boils down to a vehicle designed for longer journeys out into the Home Counties.

It's a country cousin to Ken's buses.

We've got, erm... Green ones?

KEN: No, we've got red ones.

CHRISTINA: Oh.

Mm-hm.

And, yeah, I occasionally go out and drive them myself.

Oh, brilliant.

So would you like to drive one of ours?

KEN: Oh, now you're talking.

CHRISTINA: A proper one.

Lead on!

Lead on!

Here's your bus that you're gonna drive.

Oh, wow!

Oh, right.

A nice 1950s Birmingham City Standard.

Hup!

Well done.

Amazing what they can make a man of my age do.

Right.

VO: Ken's all set, but Christina's a rookie at life on the buses.

Righty-ho.

If you stand here, you can be like the clippie.

(BELL RINGS) CHRISTINA: Ooh!

That's to stop, but to go is... What's to go?

(TWO RINGS) OK, are you ready?

I think so!

(TWO RINGS) PETE: OK, start it up.

Let's go, go, go.

VO: It's all looking good apart from two backseat drivers.

Where's he going?

Oh, he's going the wrong way!

But it's alright.

You're supposed to be going right!

But watch this tree, OK?

I think he needs to learn which is left and right.

PETE: So you're turning right.

CHRISTINA: Right.

Watch the car.

VO: Despite the racket from the back, Ken is a smooth operator, and that's exactly what's worrying Paul Laidlaw.

Ken, is he a canny Scot or is he gonna be very, very shrewd in his purchasing?

He's very benevolent when he goes to the pub.

VO: Janice and Paul have left Brackley behind and are heading for the Oxfordshire village of Hook Norton.

VO: It's best known for its brewery, but our dedicated duo pass it up in favor of an antiques establishment nearby.

Out we get.

VO: Janice and Paul have come to navigate through a vast selection of goodies, with help from James Holiday.

That looks like a big barn.

It's a big barn.

PAUL: Full of... JAMES: Treasure.

Love it.

VO: James Holiday Antiques has three warehouses crammed with furniture, pottery, porcelain and quite a few surprises too!

PAUL: (GROANS) What is it?

Heavy.

More marbles than you can shake a stick at.

Wow, I used to love them.

And there's some old ones in there.

Now, we've got common, or garden cat's eyes... Yeah.

..you and I played with, but look at the wear on some of these.

They're ancient marbles.

(WHISPERS)If that was inexpensive, that's got to be worth 40, 50, 60 quid at auction, hasn't it?

Really?

They're cracking.

VO: Have a good rootle Janice, and assess whether Paul's lost his... ..marbles?

That's good fun, is it not?

19th century, late 19th century novelty desk ornaments.

Geckos, lizards, skinks, call them what you will.

One-eyed, that little chap.

Green glass eyes, brass, and then an agate sphere, bauble, ball, but his buddy...

Ink well.

Ink pot.

So could be paperweight or simply an ornament, and the well.

And he's got two eyes.

He's all there.

VO: Fancy inkwells had their heyday from the late 16th to the late 19th centuries, but the arrival of reliable, refillable fountain pens around 1880 was the beginning of the end - and the invention of the ballpoint pen made them redundant as all but novelties.

Very pretty.

You want to feel them, don't you?

Tactile, they are, aren't they?

Pricey?

Er...

They can be 45 quid for the two.

Let me show you something else.

OK.

This purports to be a Bronze spearhead.

Looped, so we have a leaf-shaped blade... ..a socket for the shaft, and these loops here were used to whip it.

Right.

Secure it to the shaft.

VO: That's all very well, but is it bronze age, or bogus?

Look at the damage.

OK.

Right.

That hit something, and was deformed.

And maybe for that reason, was lost or discarded.

Yeah.

I think if you're faking something like this, I don't know that you contrive the deformation and the damage.

I'll tell you what, if it's not expensive, it's a gambler's piece to take to auction.

(THEY CHUCKLE) I'm not gambling.

I've got to ask the question, James, what do you want for that?

It can be £40.

It's too much.

Bottom line, if we took the three, in the real world... ..what's the pounds, shillings and pence on it?

65 for the three.

I still don't know if it's real.

There is that.

And I wish I could hand on heart say to you... "I understand these things and it's definitely period".

Alright, James, if the spearhead is rejected by my compadre, as I fear it has been...

They can be 40 quid for the two, and that's it.

I think that's a deal.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

An honorable gentleman.

(THEY LAUGH) VO: With a deal on the lizards, and the spearhead on the back burner, Janice and Paul hunt for other treasure and ponder the lifestyle of the late-night radio host.

I'm really lively at 2.30, three in the morning when I get home, because the adrenaline's still running.

I've nobody to talk to, and so I'm...

So I have to listen to music, go online, and come down before I go to bed about 5.30 in the morning.

You're nocturnal, aren't you?

I'm not really, I'm a morning person, if the truth be known.

VO: You'll still be here come morning at this rate!

More browsing turns up an inkstand that's attractive, but at £80, the price isn't.

It's crunch time.

What do you want to do?

(WHISPERS) We want to buy something else today.

Do you want to buy a bucket of marbles?

No.

Do you want to buy a potentially bronze age artifact?

There'll be trouble if you're wrong.

But...

But we'll go with the Bronze made artifact thing.

Is that a deal?

VO: So, the spearhead and lizards are eventually snapped up for £60, with a caveat.

And if it doesn't work and you feel yourself sitting on something sharp later, you'll know what it is!

VO: Ouch!

Best to call it a day right there, teams!

Night-night!

VO: It's a new day, and as they hit the roads of Oxfordshire, Ken and Janice are comparing notes on purchases.

We got something really good.

Did you now?!

Really, really good, yeah.

OK.

It's definite, a definite winner, I'd say.

Really?

VO: Meanwhile, Christina's keen to impress Paul with Ken's purchase.

It was very relevant to what his passions are and his... Oh... ..hobbies and things, so I was very pleased about that.

Right.

VO: Paul won't be outdone.

Waded in, bought just about everything I needed yesterday.

Oh, really?

Four things.

CHRISTINA: Oh, wow!

PAUL: Four things.

Gosh, so the pressure's off you today, then.

Eh, well, I hope so!

(THEY LAUGH) VO: So far, Janice and Paul have spent £113 on four items...

The bamboo easel, the brass lizard desk set, the purportedly bronze age spear and last, and definitely least in Janice's eyes, the arts and crafts brass plaque.

It leaves them with £287 to spend today.

What fun!

Well, I won't divulge how much but I have some money left.

Money?

Substantial amount I think.

So what you bought yesterday, basically, was all tat is that what you're telling me?

No... Just cheap rubbish!

Tuppence!

VO: Ken's in no position to mock!

He and Christina have only made one purchase, spending £50 on the bus stop sign.

They'll have to buck up and get busy if they're going to spend the remaining £350 today.

But Ken's preoccupied with professional matters.

Shall we put the radio on?

See who's on the radio at the moment?

See if there's anybody good on?

Mind you, there can't be anybody good on, cuz we're both in the car, aren't we?

KEN: Yeah.

JANICE: No point.

No, no, no.

Leave it off.

VO: One day with Janice has rubbed off on Paul.

Antiques are the new rock 'n' roll, have you heard?

No, I haven't.

And I don't think I'll ever hear that again!

VO: Our fab four are making their way southeast to the foot of the beautiful Chiltern Hills, to the village of Tetsworth.

CHRISTINA: There they are.

PAUL: Here they come.

VO: Our two teams are reuniting here.

Janice is raring to go and a stuck car door can't stop Ken.

I can't get the door open.

He's stuck.

Wait a minute.

How do we get you out?

I think I'm going to have to... ..do a climb.

PAUL: Dukes of Hazzard style!

Go on, just jump.

Oh... That's it.

Whoa!

A single bound!

VO: Barring further hiccups, both teams will be exploring The Swan, a former coaching inn that's now home to over 80 traders, spread over 40 rooms and dealing in everything from country furniture to fine art.

Ken and Christina get off to a slightly shaky start though.

I thought that said £45, so I was thinking it was a bargain, but it's 450.

(THEY LAUGH) You need to go and get some new glasses.

I think I need new glasses!

Either that or a hopeless optimist.

VO: An optimist in need of an optometrist!

And speaking of spectacles... Janice, Janice, Janice.

This isn't the biggest thing you've ever seen.

Wait, wait... You might need this.

Hang on a minute, get my tool out.

Oh, a magnifying glass!

Can you see it?

I can see your future!

That didnae work!

I love magnifying glasses.

PAUL: You love them?

JANICE: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Go on, then, love that.

So it's...it's alright?

Oh, you're icky about the horn?

Yeah.

Lose no sleep.

Not an endangered species, nothing exotic, that's a ram.

It's a sheep.

OK.

I would lose no sleep over the sheep.

OK, well that's fair enough.

No, I love magnifying glasses.

Oh!

I can see even more wrinkles!

20 quid.

PAUL: In your hands... JANICE: Mm.

..for £20, a Victorian pocket magnifier.

Well, I think we should go for it.

I think we've found it.

I like them, you've drawn me to it.

We reckon that we can make money on it.

Yeah.

It's a deal.

Done.

Vamoose.

Done, done, done.

VO: Paul's confident of a profit on the magnifier, so he and Janice hand over the ticket price of £20.

Not far away, a caddy has caught Christina's eye.

That, I think, is quite fun.

I mean, Georgian ones, the solid tortoiseshell ones, or Georgian ones, are incredibly valuable, but this looks quite a lot later, and it... VO: Dealer Julia has had a chance to study it.

It's imitation tortoiseshell.

It's actually a form of early celluloid that's printed.

But...

So it's printed with a tortoiseshell pattern?

Yeah.

It certainly looks the part, doesn't it?

And I like the way that...

I mean, the Georgian ones originally were tea caddies.

Yeah.

So you would've opened up them up and you would have had your divisions, whereas this is much later.

It's made in the '20s, and I think it was still made, probably, as a caddy.

VO: Julia's prepared to reduce the price from £275 to £160, but Ken and Christina decide to check out some other options before deciding what to do.

Mm, that's unusual.

Mm.

It's an ocarina.

So a whistle.

You blow through there, there's a whistle.

Right.

You're the musical one of us!

I'll try.

(ETHEREAL TONES) Oh, wow!

Oh, gosh, so you put your fingers on the holes and it adjusts the..?

Erm, the ocarina was used, very famously, in the recording of Wild Thing by The Troggs.

Oh, right.

The instrumental break in the middle has an ocarina.

Hardly ever used in popular music but it was used in Wild Thing.

Oh...

I can't play that, I'm afraid.

I can make...

I was getting excited there, yeah!

Sorry.

VO: A rootle amongst stock that's just arrived is fruitful.

So there's a set of four blue glass piano castors.

And they're all in perfect condition as well, which is what's quite nice, because quite often you find pairs.

And musical...musical... Again there's a musical link.

Yeah.

Brilliant.

That's brilliant.

What sort of money are we looking at on those, Julia?

I think, erm, probably 25 quid for the four.

OK, so those might be a possibility.

I...

I like those.

I think they're attractive.

Yeah.

That's the sort of thing I would go for.

They're just such a great, vivid color.

They're a fantastic color.

VO: Piano castor cups prevent damage to floors and carpets.

These glass ones would have been made in a mold, and similar ones can be found in a range of colors.

The castor cups and the caddy seem good contenders for the auction, if Christina can clinch a deal.

Go, girl!

And I think you said 160 on the caddy, didn't you, and 25 on the feet?

Yeah.

Would there be any movement in there at all, if we were to sort of, say, 150 on the caddy and possibly 20 on the soles, so 170 all in?

Yeah, I think if you make it 175, that would be... We'd have a deal.

Ken Bruce!

How often do you get Ken Bruce... Well, this is true... ..in your, in here?

"Thankfully not very often," she says!

Do you know what?

I could leave him here with you!

You've been really, really kind.

170 would be brilliant, if you can stretch that far, it would be really, really kind.

Yeah, go on.

Oh, you're a star!

Oh, what a star!

Thank you very, very, very much.

You're welcome.

Thank you, Julia, you're an absolute star.

That's great.

170.

That's fantastic.

VO: On the road, Paul and Janice are squabbling over the brass plaque he persuaded her to buy.

Are you going to beat me round the head if it makes a fiver at auction?

With a wet kipper!

"You said it was gonna make a profit!

"You silly man!"

VO: Silly or savvy, the jury's out.

VO: But with no wet kipper so far, Janice and Paul are bidding adieu to Oxfordshire in favor of Gloucestershire, and the town of Northleach.

Hi, Keith.

Hello, lovely to meet you.

Lovely to meet you too.

What a lovely sunny day you've brought us!

Welcome to our Museum of Mechanical Music.

Thanks very much.

If you'd like to come this way.

Thank you.

VO: Keith Harding's World Of Mechanical Music houses an ever-changing selection of self-playing musical instruments.

For Janice, who's spent her career playing vinyl records, and their successors, it's an insight into the popular music of past centuries.

Well, the oldest instrument we've got in the museum is this English chamber barrel organ, made in 1740, in London.

It's a lovely piece of furniture but the front's all dummy, you see, because this comes out and you can see the mechanism.

Oh, yeah.

And the essential thing is the programming device, which is this cylinder.

And when I turn the handle, the cylinder goes round, operates the keys and the bellows, and you get the sound, you see?

(BARREL ORGAN PLAYS) Oh, that's great.

That's fantastic.

VO: A beauty like this would only have been found in a grand house, but the advent of cylinder musical boxes made things more affordable.

This is a very nice box, beautifully inlaid, you see.

This was the music center of the home, so they had this wonderful inlay.

It's got bells as well as the music combs, you see.

Wow!

Look at that.

It's wound with a lever, like that.

And here goes... (TINKLING MUSIC PLAYS) That's lovely.

The little birds.

Yes.

Petits oiseaux, hitting the...

Striking the bells.

..the bells.

How many teeth are on that cylinder?

About 10,000.

What?!

Sometimes, when they're damaged, we have to replace them all.

My word!

And they were...where they individually applied when that was made?

Yes, yes, they would be, by hand, and they still are today, when we re-pin them.

VO: Then, as now, in the music business, technology was soon driving things forward.

About 1875, they invented the first world's first floppy disk.

It does exactly the same as the cylinder, but instead of tiny pins, 12,000th of an inch in diameter, you've got these solid projections.

And as this goes round, it turns star wheels there, which pluck the combs on either side.

So you can see where it's going, can't you?

It's heading towards vinyl.

You know... Well, it is in a way, because... ..the disc... ..the shape is right.

JANICE: Yeah.

KEITH: This is live music... JANICE: Mm.

KEITH: ..but a record plays a copy of a sound made a long time ago, so it's not quite the same thing.

And one of the advantages of this thing is that it plays louder than a cylinder box, so you can have a big machine, coin-operated, in a public house for a public performance, you see?

Wow!

And...

So that was like a jukebox?

Like a jukebox.

I'll show you one of those, if you like.

This is a top of the range machine... ..made in the late 19th century.

This one you can actually choose the tune, you see... PAUL AND JANICE: (CHUCKLE) ..with the, erm.

I don't know if you'd like to choose a tune.

Go on, you choose one.

Oh, my word!

With this?

How good is that?!

Ave Maria will do me.

Would you like to put the silver thruppenny piece in that slot?

OK. Now, in fact I can open this, and you can see inside how it works.

You see, it's lifting the disc and it puts the disc on, which then plays, and when it's finished it takes it down again.

(AVE MARIA PLAYS) Oh, that's beautiful, isn't it?

VO: I think they're all having a little moment here.

Let's leave them in peace, shall we?

VO: I think they're gonna cry.

VO: Ha!

Ken and Christina are dealing with humdrum matters though.

I live not far from here, so I'm on my home territory here.

Ah!

Oh, good, so you can be our satnav.

Well, it doesn't mean to say I'm not going to get lost.

Ken-nav.

Yes!

I could be your satnav voice.

Yeah.

Oh, that would be brilliant!

Go straight across the roundabout.

Take the second exit.

CHRISTINA: (LAUGHS) Oh, no, we're going to take the third exit.

Oh.

See?

I told you I didn't know what I was doing!

VO: What you need to be doing, Ken, is "recalculating", and heading for the Oxfordshire village of Ascott-under-Wychwood.

VO: The exact destination is a beautiful stone house, typical of the Cotswolds.

Parts of it date to the 12th century, and it's the base for antiques seller and restorer Robert Gripper.

Welcome.

Hi, thank you.

Hi.

I'm Ken.

How are you doing?

I'm very good.

I'm Robert.

Good to see you.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you both.

Welcome to Manor Farm.

Have a rummage round, see what you can find.

Then give you a holler if there's anything..?

Absolutely, and we'll go from there.

KEN: Terrific.

CHRISTINA: Rob, thanks.

ROBERT: Fantastic.

CHRISTINA: Thank you.

Perfect.

VO: Ken and Christina's first find is pretty, but puzzling.

Oh, that's rather lovely, Ken.

It's quite nice, isn't it?

"Elizabeth... S-T-W-E-S, it looks like.

Stoves?

S-T... Stives?

Stives, maybe?

CHRISTINA: (LAUGHS) I dunno.

Stewes?

I would imagine that's probably titled "St Ives".

St Ives!

Oh!

Stives!

That well-known artist, Elizabeth Stives!

(THEY LAUGH) Now that you mention it... VO: Glad we sorted that out!

Now, how about some serious shopping, eh?

Two little watches in there.

Yeah, two little watch faces.

They might well be gold.

VO: The watches are more likely to be worth their gold weight, rather than to have much intrinsic value.

Close scrutiny in daylight tells Christina the essentials.

Just take the face out and usually you can find some hallmarks in the back.

Oh, there we go.

That's interesting.

OK, so we've got a nice gold hallmark 375, which is nine carat gold, which means there's 375 parts of gold to every 1,000.

Mm.

So...nice thing if we can get it.

Yeah.

At the right price.

Right.

OK. OK. At least we know.

Speculate to accumulate, Ken.

Good.

VO: The watches go on hold while the search continues.

Oh, this is quite nice, Ken.

What's that?

This is quite nice, look.

A bit rickety but... Come and have a look.

..it's still got the leather... What's that?

A writing tablet, is it?

Writing slope, yes.

So it's got a bit of a spring in it there... Mm, but that's... ..but it's nothing... At least it's still there.

Yes, that's reparable.

Yeah.

So... Looks rather nice.

Yeah, and often you find that these bits have gone.

That might be worth... Yeah.

If, again, at the right price.

Again, yes.

Hand that over to you.

Do the deal.

Thank you.

VO: Ken and Christina have £180 left to spend.

The items aren't priced, so now it's time to see if deals can be done.

Can you give us some sort of vague prices on...

Yes, certainly.

..things that you think..?

This walnut writing box, rather nice, slope, it's got its original... CHRISTINA: Yeah.

..leather, with its gilding.

Yeah.

But then the other thing about these, I don't know if you know, but most of them have secret drawers.

Secret compartment, yes.

We call them sovereign drawers, and I think on this one we pull...this.

Oh, wow!

..and these are our sovereign drawers... Any sovereigns in there?

Robert's looking for £95 for the writing slope and £15 for the two gold watches, but he's flexible on the writing slope.

Yes, now I think I could do you a bit on that.

I could do that one for £60.

£60 for that.

Top end again, isn't it?

It is quite, it is.

I could do it for £45.

How about 40?

Why not?

40?

You don't need me here at all!

KEN: Oh... ROBERT: Done.

KEN: Done.

Deal.

What about... What about doing that little box and that... 50 quid?

ROBERT: With the two little...?

CHRISTINA: Yes.

ROBERT: Why not?

Yeah.

KEN: Right.

Can we do that for 50 quid?

Perfect.

Brilliant.

There you are.

And I wish you both the best of luck with these items.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

VO: With a writing slope at £40 and two watches for a tenner, how much luck will Ken and Christina need, eh?!

Janice and Paul can be the judges of that, as our teams reveal all.

Have you enjoyed it?

I've had the best time.

I mean, apart from, you know, looking for objects that we think are going to make money, I haven't laughed so much for ages!

It's been two days, giggling, it's just been... At him or with him?

With him, with him.

Brilliant.

Right, I can't wait.

Are we feeling good about the numbers here?

Oh... We'll see what you've bought first.

Let's see what you've got.

Oh, let's see.

You do the honors, Janice, shall we?

One, two, three.

Woo!

KEN: Woah!

CHRISTINA: Oh, wow.

Gosh!

Interesting things!

Oh, that's interesting.

Yes.

What on earth is that, at the front?

It's a spear shaft, isn't it?

A spear shaft?

JANICE: A spearhead, I mean.

KEN: Spearhead?

Yeah, and the shaft goes into it.

Right.

So look, it's actually been used because of the cut... See, I'm talking as though I know what I'm talking about!

An expert!

VO: Sounded good to me, love!

Right, so what did you pay for that?

JANICE: 20.

PAUL: £20.

20.

Oh, that's not bad... And age, vaguely?

Cuz that's the most important thing, really.

I believe that's period, so that's 3,500-year-old bronze age... Three-and-a-half?

..looped, socketed spearhead.

Oh, right.

OK, Ken, I think we need to get slightly concerned!

Oh, yeah!

I'm getting worried now!

I'm worried already, yeah!

That dragon, he's rather magnificent, isn't he?

JANICE: You think so?

CHRISTINA: Yeah.

Janice disagrees with you.

Oh!

Shame you couldn't agree on it.

I think the word I used was "vile"!

Vile?

OK, OK. Come down off the fence!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But apparently this work is beautiful.

Yes.

But you don't agree?

And this was quite expensive, at eight quid!

Eight?

You were done!

£8?

That's quite a good price, I think.

PAUL: But it leaves... JANICE: This.

KEN: What's this, now?

What d'you think it is?

KEN: An easel?

JANICE: Yes.

CHRISTINA: Lovely easel.

Bamboo.

JANICE: Yes.

Yeah.

D'you know, I often wondered what happened to all the panpipes after those albums were made!

This is it!

This is it!

Exactly what I said!

That's what they do with old recorders... And how much was that?

Erm...45.

Well, that's not much, really, is it?

No.

You've come in well under budget.

Last of the big spenders.

Gin and tonics afterwards!

Go for a meal... VO: Time for Team Bruce to fight back.

Da, da-tah!

Oh!

Oh!

This potentially could be a bit of a bargain.

Two nine carat gold cased granny watches.

Little...yeah.

But you didn't pay gold prices for those, did you?

I couldn't possibly say!

No, really.

Come on!

How much do you think?

You didn't get those for less than £50 did you?

Oh, please!

Are you gonna tell him?

CHRISTINA: No, you tell him.

KEN: £10.

JANICE: No!

PAUL: What?!

What did you..?!

Were you packing at the time?!

Did you have a mask on?!

We literally found them at the bottom of a box, so... VO: Paul's twitchy now!

..quite a find.

Oh, now, that's a really smart little box, yeah.

I like that very much.

But a bit of a smart price.

It was a lot cheaper than they were looking for.

It was, yeah.

The label price was 275.

Yeah?

We got it for 150.

JANICE: Oh, good.

PAUL: OK.

So could be...could be a bit hit and miss... That's extremely attractive.

CHRISTINA: Yes, exactly.

PAUL: A lovely thing.

It looks the part, doesn't it?

And we couldn't resist this.

No.

Obviously.

Yeah.

Your passion for buses.

I think there's a market for this sort of thing, because this is an original stop.

Yeah.

London bus stop.

What period will that be, Ken?!

Erm...it's late 17th century, I think.

(THEY LAUGH) It was a bit of a punt.

I think people will go for that.

I'm with you.

How much of a punt?

Well, that cost us £50.

I think it's going to be an interesting auction.

It certainly is going to be.

I wouldn't like to take many bets on this one.

No, it's gonna be close, isn't it?

Well, I hope it's gonna be!

We'll see!

Best of luck, guys.

Well done.

Good luck.

Good luck.

VO: It's all smiles and good sportsmanship in front of the opposition, but what did the teams really think?

Strong purchases across the board.

The sods!

Well, when they did their reveal, I was frankly a bit worried, cuz I thought "Oh, they've got some really lovely stuff there."

We've a problem.

Two nine carat gold cased watches for £10.

Ken, the sign.

Come on!

That's a cool object.

The spearhead is very specialist.

Yeah, that is, yeah.

I mean, they haven't spent a lot on it but it's very, very specialist.

Yeah.

If the right person's not in the saleroom... Quite.

Yeah.

It's risky.

The box... that's a potential hole.

That could be our savior, to be honest.

At the end of the day, we like what we've bought.

Indeed.

We can be proud of our purchases.

Exactly, what can go wrong?

Quite a lot.

Let's toast it.

CHRISTINA: Cheers.

KEN: Cheers.

CHRISTINA: Well done.

KEN: Well done us.

I'll get my own back on Ken Bruce if he wins.

We'll do alright.

Hopefully.

Fingers crossed.

Cheers.

See you at the auction.

VO: Time now for our pop pickers, and lot pickers, to head to the auction, just outside Banbury in Oxfordshire.

And the Popmaster still thinks he's the Antiques Master.

D'you think you're going to win?

Well, I'd like to think so.

I'd like to think so, Janice, but I'd hate you to have to lose.

But I'm afraid you're gonna have to!

VO: All the same, it's a surprisingly low key entrance from the celebrities.

PAUL: Another subtle entrance.

CHRISTINA: Yeah!

Morning.

No jamboree today?

No entourage?

No floats?

I know!

Where's the carnival?!

No, no, no, no, no.

This is very subdued!

Great to see you.

VO: JS Auctions holds fortnightly sales as well as regular specialist auctions of antiques, fine art, arms, armor and militaria.

60.

VO: Auctioneer Joe Smith is the man on the gavel, so what does he make of the teams' eclectic choices?

The Georgian-style silver-plated tea caddy with tortoiseshell coverings, or faux tortoiseshell coverings - is a very interesting piece.

The London Transport sign... Enamel signs are always a good collectable item.

I think this lot could do very, very well.

The spearhead, which, erm, a little dubious about the date on it.

Value-wise we could be struggling.

Could be as little as £20 or £30 for that one.

My favorite lot in this sale is the Victorian lizard and hard stone mounted desk pieces.

They're really nice pieces.

Somewhere between £50 and £100 should be about the mark for them.

VO: Each of our teams started with £400.

Ken and Christina spent £270 acquiring five lots, while Janice and Paul bought their five for a mere £133.

As the bidding gets under way, our auction novices are apprehensive.

60.

And five.

And 70.

It's in the room now.

How do you feel?

I've got butterflies.

I feel quite nervous, yeah.

Oh, it's like a job interview, isn't it?!

It is, isn't it?!

I've never passed one of those in my life!

VO: First up is Ken's bus stop sign.

I've got to start here at 35, 40 is it now?

Come on!

At £35 for the enamel sign.

35.

And 40.

And five.

And 50, and five.

60...

It's going, it's going.

And 70.

It's in the room now, at £70.

And five anywhere now?

At £70.

We'll take that, thank you very much.

All done at £70.

VO: That's a tidy profit and Christina's hoping three come along all at once!

VO: (LAUGHS) Good result, eh?

VO: Wrong team, Janice.

Well, we're off.

One down.

Well done.

VO: Next is the brass plaque.

Janice thinks it's vile.

£10.

10.

12 anywhere now?

At £10 only.

JOE: 12.

CHRISTINA: Come on, bid, bid.

Come on, it's repousse.

14... You're going to have to explain that one day.

16.

18.

20.

22.

At £22, then.

Last chance.

Selling at 22.

Come on!

VO: Paul's judgment pays off - look.

So he avoids assault with a wet kipper.

How long's he on for?

Is it longer than a radio show?

It seems longer, he's got.

He doesn't even need a microphone!

Mind you, he says the same thing again and again.

So do you.

VO: Now it's the walnut and brass writing slope.

At £60 to start.

Five anywhere now?

At £60.

Five now.

Give it a rattle!

Give it a rattle!

60.

Five anywhere?

At £60.

You're all out in the room?

Come on!

Bid!

Anybody else want a go?

At £60.

VO: Another profit keeps Ken and Christina in the lead.

Great.

Ooh, there's a big tick.

VO: They took a risk on the simulated tortoiseshell and silver-plated caddy.

Now is the moment of truth.

30.

30.

And five.

35.

40.

We've caught a cold on this one.

Look, they're bidding, they're bidding, they're bidding.

Come on, ladies.

60 and five.

Come on, come on.

At 65.

In the back now, at 65.

And 70, seated.

At 70.

75.

At 80.

It has got a long way to go.

It has got a long way to go.

VO: Oh, dear.

This bidding's about as dynamic as a tortoise!

Round it up.

Come on, round it up, come on.

100.

100, the lady.

KEN: That's good.

JOE: 110.

See?

110.

KEN: It's coming.

She's bidding, she's bidding.

110, and she's in shock.

110.

At 110.

20 do I see?

At £110.

All done now?

110.

VO: That wipes out Ken and Christina's profits, but garners sympathy.

That's made me...grumpy!

I'm in a bad mood now!

That's very good of you.

Very kind of you, to be grumpy on my behalf.

CHRISTINA: Aw!

KEN: That's very nice.

VO: Could Team Long's lizard set be the chance to scamper ahead?

35 we can start.

At 40 is it now?

At 40.

They're worth, like, way more than that, guys.

JOE: 50.

And five.

KEN: You're away.

60.

And five.

70.

And five.

80.

And five.

90.

100.

And 10.

It's in the room at 110 now.

Is she coming back on the phone?

At £110 there, now.

At 110.

£110.

Back on the net!

Are we all sure?

Last chance.

110.

VO: The lizards yield a convincing lead for Janice and Paul, but with the opposition's bargain gold watches next, anything could happen.

25 we can start.

30 now.

At 25.

30.

Come on!

Away.

40.

And five.

50 in the very back.

And 55...

Very good.

55.

At 55.

Lady's bid, 55.

VO: A great profit puts Ken and Christina back in contention... Well done.

KEN: Nice lady.

PAUL: Beautiful...

Very nice.

That's good.

That's good.

JANICE: That's good.

CHRISTINA: £45 profit.

VO: While Janice and Paul wait to see if their purportedly bronze age spearhead was a pointless purchase!

Ha!

45.

50 do I see?

55.

60.

And five.

70.

And five.

80.

In the back of the room at £80.

Five is it now?

At £80.

85, standing.

90?

No?

Last call and selling.

VO: The gamble pays off and Paul's safe from a skewering!

Oh, well done!

Can't argue with that!

Yay!

Sure?

And selling.

VO: No-one's bowled over, but it's still a useful profit.

Batting average maintained.

VO: Ken and Christina hope the piano castor cups will be music to their ears.

12 do I see?

CHRISTINA: Oh, she's bidding!

KEN: 12... 15.

Yeah.

It's going up.

Round them up, surely.

Only just.

There and being sold.

VO: Oh, dear, those cups definitely didn't hit the high notes.

It is a profit, technically.

Yeah, until the commission comes out!

That's fine!

We don't need to worry about that!

VO: Perhaps arty lots will fare better.

Paul and Janice have their bamboo easel still to sell.

Whey!

Last call.

And selling.

VO: Team Long's mastered the fine art of making money.

Brilliant, well done.

That was it, Janice.

£40 profit.

Well done.

Brilliant.

Ken and Christina experienced slightly dodgy reception for their choices in the saleroom, and after commission, lost £10.06.

Nonetheless, they end the road trip with a respectable chart entry at £389.94.

VO: Janice and Paul were on the right wavelength though, making a magnificent profit of £137.60, so they're today's victors, ending the road trip as Top of the Pops with £537.60.

Well done.

And any profit made on the road trip, of course, goes to Children In Need.

Absolutely loved it.

Good.

I'll see you back at...

I'll see you back at work.

House of fun!

Do you think you've learnt anything on the journey?

Oh, yes.

What not to buy?

Exactly!

Tortoiseshell caddies!

VO: (LAUGHS) He won't buy a caddy again!

But for Ken, old habits die hard.

Before I go, I just wanna do one thing.

Yeah?

Can I just say hello to my mum and dad, my wife and kids, Aunty Betty and Uncle Willie and everybody else who knows me?!

Yay!

I've always wanted to do that!

I always wanted to do that.

PAUL: A pleasure.

CHRISTINA: Brilliant.

JANICE: Bye.

CHRISTINA: Bye, bye.

Bye.

Safe journey.
