VO: ..one antiques expert each... Oh!
(LAUGHS) That is good, isn't it?
I love it.
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?
Definitely having them.
Yes!
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: On this Road Trip, two petrolhead celebs are vying for pole position.
Let's kick this show up a gear, with James Martin and Jodie Kidd.
I am actually quite impressed with the E type jag, I have never driven one before.
No, I think they are lovely.
They are really smart aren't they?
Very smart, got quite a bit of power.
VO: Supermodel Jodie Kidd began sashaying the catwalks as a teenager in the mid-90s.
Since then she's become one of the most recognizable faces in fashion.
And she's something of a high-born adventuress competing in polo, show-jumping and golf.
Bloody women drivers.
There you go.
VO: Chef James Martin first sautéed his way into our favors on Ready Steady Cook.
And, of course, he now tempts the nation's tastebuds on much-loved brunch bash, Saturday Kitchen.
James also loves his cars and has a large collection of classic vehicles.
Today this high-performance pair are driving a stunning 70s chick, the Jaguar E-type.
Oh it is a lovely car.
Oh my goodness gracious me.
VO: And in an E-type all of their own this morning are a couple of antiquarian experts who're also motor-mad.
I am really quite excited about today you know.
Well I am very excited being in an E type V12.
Hello, this is one of the sexiest cars on the planet.
VO: Road Trip veteran Philip Serrell runs a Worcestershire saleroom, and certainly has a great face for auctioneering.
PHILIP (PS): What gets me is they get a really sexy car and put us in it.
How does that work?
It improves it.
VO: While David Harper is a County Durham antiques meister who brims with confidence no matter what the occasion.
That is why it is the sexiest car ever in the history of mankind - because we are in it.
You are utterly deluded.
What I am really excited about is that we have got James and Jodie and you know, you and I are utter petrolheads, they are two fabulous petrolheads.
VO: On this trip, all four of them begin in Lewes, East Sussex, take a mini-tour of the southeast, and end up at auction.
Oh.
Back in Lewes.
Highly irregular.
So now we're just pulling into Lewes.
Is it 'Lewis' or 'Loos'?
I've no doubt voice over will tell us.
VO: It's 'Lewis'.
And don't call me Voice Over, I'm Tim.
No less than the legendary designer William Morris said of Lewes "on the whole it is set down better than any town I have seen in England".
So an ideal place for our four to meet.
DAVID: It's going to be exciting isn't it?
Car mania.
Here we are.
Hello.
How are you doing?
Good to see you.
Hi there.
James, Philip, how are you?
Jodie, lovely to meet you.
VO: Let's get teamed up - Jodie will pair with David, making James and Philip our second twosome.
I must say I'm quite pleased, I'd rather be in an E-Type with you than with him!
VO: Charming, David.
Both of the teams start the Road Trip with £400 to play with.
James and Philip are heading off into their first shop of the day, Pastorale Antiques.
PS: This is it, our first shop.
JAMES: The first one.
The first one.
And they've got a cafe, you might get a part time job in here.
VO: Hey!
Cheeky, Philip.
They're meeting the proprietor, Andre.
Andre.
Hello.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
VO: Crikey, he's a big lad.
I'm going to find a stool to stand on.
What's going on?
VO: You're shopping, Philip.
Look smart.
Andre's shop is a sprawling beast, crammed with items and in proportions befitting of the man himself.
Better get going then.
I haven't got a clue to what I am looking for to be honest.
PS: How much is the cupboard there?
£345.
Do you know, Andre you are not really trying.
It is not mine.
If I did this in my restaurant, well steaks, could be 18 quid, could be 43 quid, I don't know.
PS: I tell you what Andre... Just let you eat it first then we'll decide.
VO: Andre the giant is quite a character, and definitely not to be trifled with.
I hope I am not making...
I am not intimidating you too much with my height.
What no, no!
Lord help us.
Quite frankly I just want to get out of here.
I have got one of my headaches coming on.
Upstairs?
Sure.
VO: So luckily for Philip's fragile noggin - and ego - it looks like James might have spotted something upstairs.
He bought them, I can't remember where he bought them but originally they come from East Germany.
You know, the sort of railway station job.
How much could they be Andre?
I have to ring the chap who owns them.
VO: It's an East German wall clock, possibly from an industrial property.
Philip thinks it might date from the 1960s.
What is the best you can do on those?
40 quid, 40 quid.
35 and he's got a deal.
35 and you've got a deal, Simon!
Is that good enough?
PS: That's good enough for me.
VO: I don't think you need that phone Andre - Simon could probably hear you anywhere.
Anyway Simon, it's a deal, 35 quid.
OK, cheerio, bye.
VO: Deal done.
But maybe it's an idea to actually pick it up?
How old is that then?
That's actually brand new.
VO: A timely discovery, Phil, now you've bought it.
What's the year on it?
They've been controlled in 1989.
VO: Hm.
It's really not as attractive proposition with an 80's provenance.
But there's another timepiece which does look like it ticked through the 1960s, back in the old GDR.
I would go for this one actually, if I were you.
That is quite a nice retro look.
ANDRE: I would go for that one.
VO: Jolly good.
Now for the bargaining skills of a Yorkshire man.
James?
You have got to phone up your mate and get a better deal, that was 35 quid for a big one... We want the smaller ones cuz those are brand new.
Alright, alright.
It has got to be 25 quid for that one.
It is tiring this job sometimes.
ANDRE: Yes, Simon look, tell me how much are the small one, the little one, the little square one.
30 quid he says, 30 quid.
25 quid and we've got a deal.
He says actually 30 quid for small one, OK. PS: Are we going to buy this?
OK, we are making 30 quid Simon, congratulations.
Thanks very much.
Quick, we've got to get out.
I take the money.
Lovely to see you, bye bye.
VO: James?
That's better.
Now, Jodie and David are only a short stroll away.
Lewes, actually I don't really think I have ever walked down this main street or had a little snoop around in the shops.
VO: With their own budget of £400, they're heading into the stoutly-named Emporium Antiques Centre.
This is a lot.
Welcome to my world.
Yup.
Thank you very much.
VO: And David's keen to impart his antiquarian wisdom to Jodie.
This business is very much instinct-led, and you've either got an eye, or you haven't.
VO: So what sort of taste does Jodie have?
DAVID: Do you furnish your home with antiques?
Well, yeah.
I am very lucky to have got a lot of things from my grandmother.
I'm a country girl, so I love things that are all country, so I would say very traditional.
Good.
VO: Traditional taste inherited from an illustrious family perhaps.
Jodie's great-grandfather was the first Lord Beaverbrook, and there are titles on both sides of her lineage.
VO: And she's also a keen sportswoman - how might that impact on proceedings?
You seem kind of competitive.
No (!)
Yes.
I am slightly competitive, especially when it comes to James.
Really?
Is there some history there?
Yeah because we love cars and we have raced against each other and things like that.
We have to win then.
Seriously competitive.
What happens if we don't win?
What happens to me if we don't win?
Am I in trouble?
No, I am going to have to kind of...
Kill me?
Yes.
OK, fair enough.
At least we know exactly where we stand.
No pressure, no pressure.
VO: Quite.
And with that in mind, Jodie spotted something she thinks might be a winner.
JODIE: That's really cool.
DAVID: It is cool.
Is that really £12?
VO: It's an East Asian table, dating from the 19th century.
Ticket price is a tiddly £12.
DAVID: Beech frame, and then we have a lacquer top.
JODIE: It is quite cool.
I think I can get it for like eight.
I tell you what, I am such a bargainer.
Are you good at that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you get it less?
I'll get it less.
Let's see how good you are at negotiating.
VO: Dealer Steve doesn't know what he's in for.
Nice to meet you.
Steve, how are you?
This is Jodie.
Hi.
Now, Jodie is interested in the little Victorian tilt top table.
JODIE: But it is in a real mess and there is a lot of work that needs to be done here.
What do you want for a tenner?
Well a bit more than that don't we Jodie?
I'll do it for eight quid.
As it is taking up space.
Eight quid, we'll shake for eight.
OK, no problem.
Brilliant, thanks for that, that's marvelous, thank you very much indeed.
VO: Deal done at a bargain £8.
But Jodie's soon found something else she thinks might be a copper-bottomed buy.
JODIE: Right, copper hot water can.
That is really quite interesting.
JODIE: It is quite, I have never seen...
I must admit I was brought up in a house, we did have copper, we always cooked with copper.
Yeah.
Em... and my mum always loved little bits of copper hanging around the kitchen.
DAVID: Yeah.
Let's have a look at it.
It is something I would like.
It is a cool kettle.
It is the coolest kettle I have ever seen, is it for you as well?
But it's the style and the design that's appealing, because it's arts and crafts.
VO: The pared-down artisan style of the turn-of-the-century Arts and crafts movement is indeed very saleable.
Well spotted Jodie.
JODIE: I think I want to buy it personally.
DAVID: It is fantastic.
Do you know, I said earlier on about having the eye, and I am not just saying this I promise you, you have the eye.
You have got it.
Do I?
There's hope for me yet.
I'm going to give up modeling.
Give up modeling, no money in modeling.
Just become an antiques dealer like me.
VO: Well, let's not be too hasty eh?
But ticket price on the kettle is a hefty £89.
They could be in hot water unless Steve can do them a deal.
What would be the best on that, bear in mind we are going into a general sale.
This is the problem.
I think it is very small... ..margin of people that would actually like that.
£70 at a push.
Can you do any better than that because...
Sink or swim with this don't you?
You sink or swim in a big way, yeah.
And I think with a general auction we are going to be in real trouble at 70.
I think you might be right, 50 would be better.
50 would be...
50?!
Do you want to make a phone call?
I'll try, make a phone call.
VO: Steve will call the dealer who owns it.
What's the best you could do?
You've got 89 quid on it at the minute.
VO: Ah, he's back.
£50.
Can I have it for 45?
No, no, no!
Oh!
Where did that come from?
VO: Jodie is a hard-haggling natural at this and they've got the kettle for £50.
Thank you very much.
That's brilliant.
Two really good objects.
VO: And they're heading onwards.
Very good, You are a queen shopper.
You are good at shopping.
VO: But there's no respite for dealer Steve today, as James and Philip are wandering on to his shop.
JAMES: That is quite cool.
PS: Have a look at that then.
VO: And they've developed a plan to look for items that reflect James' twin passions in life.
We're trying to develop a cooking theme... ..and a bit of a car theme.
VO: And they've already spied something in the window.
JAMES: I like this, can I grab it?
STEVE: Yeah grab it, yeah, yeah.
PS: This is quite cool, what does that do then?
I think it does pounds to kilos and grams to ounces you see.
VO: It is indeed a little cookery tool for converting imperial measurements to their metric equivalents, and vice versa.
So eight new pounds is probably one old pound.
VO: Ticket price is £8 and zero ounces.
I like that.
Would you put that by?
STEVE: It is cheap enough.
PS: Do behave.
Put it by and we'll come and look at that in a minute.
Right, let's see what else... VO: It's the first candidate to be included in a job lot of kitchenalia that they want to try and build.
PS: I like that.
VO: And they've soon spotted something else on a gastronomic theme.
JAMES: What is it?
PS: It is like a wine holder of some sort isn't it?
Don't know how old it is, I just think it has a bit of a look.
1933.
Can we have a look at this please Steve?
STEVE: Sure.
PS: What is that thing there?
I have no idea.
Now we can all read Steve.
(ALL LAUGH) A wine pitcher.
A wine cooler.
Is that a wine cooler?
Well a guess, for putting a wine bottle in.
PS: Let's have a look.
STEVE: Shall we open it up?
Yeah, if we can have a look please.
VO: It's a so called handled wine-holder, or jug - made by early 20th century French artisan Gerard Lafitte.
So what is it?
Is it oak?
Right, this is oak.
This is beaten copper and that is sort of typical of that late art deco.
VO: Ticket price is £56.
Should we put a little parcel together?
Put a little parcel, I quite like that, it is unusual.
VO: With a couple of items reserved, they're looking for anything else they could add to the lot of kitchenalia.
What about these sweets jar?
Books, you haven't got a James Martin cook book in here?
We could get you to sign it couldn't we?
Yeah.
That's why I was hoping for a chopping board, you see.
VO: But once again the volume of stock seems to be rather daunting them.
There has got to be a plan B.
Have we got a plan A?
No, but if we've got a plan B, plan A will come.
VO: Ever the optimist, Philip.
I am going have a quick fly down...stairs.
Right.
(LAUGHS) I'll put it back.
Dear me.
Let me have a quick look downstairs then we will go back into the front shop.
PS: This doesn't get any eas...
I've just dived off the top step.
VO: Careful, Phil, it might be safer for everyone if you two split up for a while.
James will search in another room.
It is really difficult I tell you.
It's not easy.
See I have spotted it, I am trying to find... See these, these are what I love, old rolling pins.
They don't make them like this any more.
They have got grease over time on them.
And these are much better than the modern new rolling pins you see.
What is it six quid?
Three quid, signed?
VO: Heh.
Underestimating the value of your autograph there old fruit.
Fantastic.
VO: And meanwhile, Philip's upstairs and has found two items that chime with their automotive theme.
It's a pair of very modern column clocks bearing the enamel badges of Jaguar and Rolls Royce.
We are driving a Jaguar and James has got a Rolls Royce.
They may or not... there is no age to them.
They might be quite good fun things for him.
VO: Ticket price on the pair is £24, and Phil is keen.
But will James agree?
Oh mate, you have got to have them.
Do you like those?
Definitely having them.
VO: Good-o.
They're definitely interested in the copper jug or wine cooler thing, two badged clocks, and the metric-imperial converter and rolling pin.
The latter two being the start of a job lot of kitchen items.
JAMES: I think they are quite fun.
VO: So this pile would give them three lots total from this shop.
Combined ticket price on all of it is £94.
The idea of that... Best wishes James Martin.
I think that is quite a fun... Have you had that long?
Has that been here long?
No.
Looks like it is 45 quids worth to me really.
I think you are right.
45 quid it can be.
Really?
No I'm taking about all of it.
No, I am talking about all of it.
Are you serious?
Oh no!
VO: He is and Phil's resorting to his customary bargaining tactic.
That is demeaning your front window.
That, the James Martin autographed rolling pin, no one bought any of those.
And we don't know what that is.
Give us 50 quid that'll buy them, 50 quid - that's fair.
Do you know, I'm too soft, by half, honestly.
VO: Deal done at 50, despite Philip's grumblings.
PS: We have just been robbed haven't we?
Yeah.
You haven't got a big black felt tip have you?
It's permanent.
Oh look at this, what a boy.
There you go.
Do you want me to do Jamie Oliver's as well?
VO: Ha!
That won't be necessary James, but let's hope they're now on a roll.
VO: Now, Jodie and David are in the car and motoring onwards.
And they seem to be enjoying the E-type.
Eh?
How cool is that?
VO: They're driving to Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex.
Now, both David and Jodie share a passion for cars - and Jodie has even raced competitively.
With this in mind, they're going to take their feet off the accelerator a little this afternoon, and pay a visit to Bexhill Museum, which celebrates the town's proud place in the history of high-octane motoring and commemorates the special role of one unusual car in particular.
VO: And here on Bexhill seafront, they're meeting Museum Chairman, John Betts.
DAVID: Are you John?
JOHN: I am.
We have found you, hello John.
Welcome to Bexhill.
Thank you very much.
David Harper.
This is Jodie.
Hello John.
How are you?
Pleasure to meet you.
And yourself.
So why have you asked us to meet you here?
Well, this is where British motor-racing all began in 1902.
VO: Bexhill-on-Sea is indeed the cradle of British motorsports.
It was here, in May 1902, that the first ever British race-meet was held.
The vehicles careering, in fact, over this very spot.
JOHN: The track then was starting up the top there.
Right.
And we are down in the middle of it here.
So racing right along the sea front?
One kilometer.
One kilometer from... JODIE: How amazing.
JOHN: ..just up there.
VO: Motor racing in those days was largely the preserve of the moneyed and titled, and it was a local landowner - the 8th Earl De La Warr - who was responsible for bringing motor racing to Bexhill.
De La Warr had been bitten by the motor racing bug on a visit to France, and decided to bring the new sport back home to share with his rarefied social circle.
JODIE: So Bexhill was quite a kind of cool place to be in the early 1900s.
JOHN: It was.
VO: The early motor racing at Bexhill ran sporadically in various forms over the next few years.
DAVID@ These race meetings would have drawn crowds from all over... JOHN: 50, 60-70,000.
Wow.
It was quite incredible.
Incredible.
And what a sight that must have been to people who were so used to horse and cart.
Well yeah.
VO: The vehicles back in 1902 were of course a little different to the super-charged racers we know today.
In fact, many of them didn't even run on petrol.
JOHN: All forms of propulsion were used - steam, alcohol, petrol, electric cars.
DAVID: Electric cars?
JOHN: Yes there were electric cars.
DAVID: No.
The speed record was held by a steam car.
And it came here... JODIE: Incredible.
..it held the world speed record of 75mph.
DAVID: Well I never.
JOHN: It was the last steam car to hold the world speed record.
VO: John's going to take Jodie and David into Bexhill Museum, where they have a replica of this extraordinary vehicle.
JODIE: Wow.
DAVID: Ah ha, I say John.
Pretty cool.
This is the Bexhill Museum motoring gallery.
VO: The world-beating car was made by steam-carriage manufacturer, Serpollet.
JODIE: So was she a French car?
The original was a French car.
Right.
VO: It was known as the Oeuf de Pâques, or Easter Egg.
Vive la difference.
It was named that because the racing took part, took place on Easter weekend in this when it took the world speed record.
DAVID: And did this race here at Bexhill?
JOHN: It did, in Bexhill it hit 54mph which was Britain's highest speed record, yeah.
VO: This is a modern replica of the Easter Egg, but its method of production is scarcely less extraordinary than the original's.
JOHN: This was built by local schools in 2002 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the races.
JODIE: You have some seriously brilliant children.
DAVID: Amazing.
They are all engineers.
It is as near a copy as you could get without having any original plans because the original cars disappeared in France somewhere, so this a copy taken from photos.
Right.
Did they build Concord?
VO: I think they probably could.
Little brainiacs of Bexhill.
I think it's just absolutely brilliant.
VO: It is.
But it's time for Jodie and David to be motoring on.
Now, James and Philip are still back in Lewes, and have ambled towards their next shop, Cliffe Antiques, where they're meeting dealer, Chrissie.
PS: Hello.
CHRISSIE: Hi.
James, nice to meet you.
Hi, Philip, good to see you.
How are you, you alright?
Well thank you.
How you good on shellfish James, any good?
Shellfish?
35 quid for plastic lobster.
Here you go, these, three quid.
We are in, I am liking the sound of this already.
What is that, that's potty.
You wouldn't want that looking at you.
VO: So failing a commode that stares at you, James has found a couple of items that bring back happy memories of how he first got into cookery.
JAMES: When my granny passed away and she was the person who taught me how to cook, she had nothing, she had the old enamel gas stove that she used to make the most amazing bacon sandwiches on.
She used to serve it on these boards and these are the only things that I have got to remind me of her.
I just think they are fantastic, they have a great feel of them.
PS: She was the matriarch cook?
She was the inspiration in everything that I do and everything that I still do, she used to collect her pension on a Thursday and go to the shops and squeeze every loaf of bread to get the softest milk loaf and then get the best bacon and she used to serve it on boards just like this.
PS: Here's a question for you, are your bacon sandwiches as good as hers?
No way.
Hers... hers are just legendary.
My mother's roast potatoes are better than mine.
Really?
What's your mum's secret is it duck fat?
I don't know what it is, she won't tell me.
VO: Combined ticket price on the two breadboards is £15.
James really wants them for his cookery-themed job lot.
I tell you what, I'm going to give you the money.
I'm not going to give you any more.
VO: Philip's going to give James only £10 to do the deal with.
You're a stern taskmaster, Philip.
I am going to sit down and take this in, soak in the atmosphere.
Right, I would like these.
You would?
I would really like these.
Certainly that is £3.
Yeah, what about this one?
That one could be 10.
All I have got is a tenner.
Can you do them both for a tenner?
Go on.
You do that?
OK, yeah.
Fantastic.
Thank you very much.
VO: Well done James.
He's got the two boards for very little bread.
And with that, all our happy roadtrippers are back in their cars and bidding the day a fond adieu.
Night night my beauties!
VO: But nothing can keep teams this competitive off the bargain trail for long and morning greets them back on the road and comparing notes on the ride so far.
JODIE: David told me that I should act on gut so I should walk in and whatever I initially see or what interests me, we should get.
So you bought a pair of shoes then did you?
I didn't.
What did you buy?
I bought some really weird things.
I bought things that were totally out of my comfort zone.
And that were... one was oriental.
VO: Careful Jodie - it an unwritten Road Trip rule that teams try to keep their buys secret.
Why would you show him your hand?
What was it, a wok?
JAMES: It was like a... a wok?
JODIE: It was a table.
A table?
It was like a beech table.
VO: Oh dear.
And there were stunning revelations in the other car as well.
I have got some 6'3 hulking great Yorkshire bloke in the car and you've got a gorgeous girl, how did that work out?
She is 6'8.
VO: She's 6'2 David!
And she probably seems taller from down where you are.
It is the coolest kettle I've ever seen.
Me too.
Is it you as well?
VO: So far Jodie and David have spent £58 on just two lots - the arts and crafts copper kettle and the Victorian east Asian table, giving them a generous £342 to spend today.
Thanks.
Thanks for that, that's marvelous.
Thank you very much indeed.
VO: While James and Phil have been shopaholics by comparison, spending £90 on four lots - the industrial wall clock...
Thanks very much, quick, quick, quick I take the money.
Thank you.
Bye bye.
VO: ..the copper wine cooler, the two car-themed column clocks, and the job lot of kitchenalia.
JAMES: A bargain.
VO: So they still have £310 left.
Fantastic.
VO: And it sounds like yesterday's buying has given James the measure of this game.
I quickly realized after the first 10 minutes - this antiques sort of business - they just make it up.
Yeah, they do.
VO: Don't tell anyone eh?
They're starting off today in Horsham, West Sussex.
Horsham holds the proud honor of being the place the heaviest hailstones recorded in Britain fell.
That was in 1958, and they were almost the size of tennis balls.
Golly.
Happily, today's weather looks much more clement.
JODIE: How does the barnet look after that?
Barnet looks good.
They beat us!
Does it look alright?
VO: It does.
Best get paired up and on the road.
Speedy Gonzalez.
Good luck.
You'll need it.
Go, go, go, go!
VO: James and Philip are on their way to the environs of Weybridge in Surrey PS: I'm really looking forward to Weybridge.
VO: Yesterday Jodie and David discovered the cradle of motor racing at Bexhill, and today James and Philip are heading for Brooklands Museum to find out what happened next.
JAMES: Brooklands.
PS: I've never been.
The home of motorsport.
You've never been?
Nah nah nah nah.
VO: Motor-mad James and Philip both collect cars, so they're in for a real treat this afternoon.
Navigating them through this heroic tale will be Museum Director, Allan Winn.
Welcome to Brooklands.
Hi there, James, nice to meet you.
Philip, how are you?
ALLAN: Philip... PS: Good to see you.
Good to see you.
Nice motor car.
VO: Once Bexhill had pioneered racing on existing roads, the next logical step was to build a purpose-built race track.
And the very first in the world started construction here in 1906.
It was here that motor-racing really took off, and began to evolve into the sport we know today.
The track here was constructed with two huge and hazardous banked sections of nearly 30ft in height, which allowed the new racing vehicles to attain previously unheard of speeds.
On it, the great victories of early British motorsports played out.
Allan's taking our lads to see one particularly special car from the 1920s, which raced in another very important Brooklands first.
JAMES: Look at this, what have we got here then?
ALLAN: Right, 1926 Halford Special.
This is one of seven cars that took part in the very first British Grand Prix, which was held here at Brooklands in October 1926.
Fantastic.
The very first Grand Prix?
The first British Grand Prix.
VO: Motoring Grand Prix originated on the continent, but it was here that these competitions first came to Britain.
ALLAN: This is quite a powerful car, this is about 150 brake horse power.
These are really advanced cars for their era.
VO: Allan's taking them on to see another beautiful vehicle which is unique in Brooklands' history.
JAMES: Wow, it's like a toy shop in here.
Certainly is.
PS: Look at that!
This has got to be one of the most famous cars around here?
It certainly is, the fastest car ever round the Brooklands track.
It did an average speed of 143.44mph in 1935.
So what power is this then?
A 24 liter Napier Lion aeroplane engine.
535 horse power at 2,500 rpms.
A massive torque.
It'd be good for about 165mph.
VO: The lap record is held by the legendary racing driver John Cobb - a local man.
JAMES: Wow!
Now you are sitting where John Cobb sat.
That is proper innit?
And that is how you would go record breaking in the 1930s.
This is incredible.
Incredible thing.
Amazing.
Absolutely amazing.
We've got to see some more cars haven't we?
It's a big boy's playground this isn't it?
It is, yeah, yeah, I'll catch you up.
VO: A car nut's playground this is indeed.
The museum houses cars and displays which bring the story of motor racing right up to the present day.
In another room, there's a simulator that allows visitors to see what it would have been like to drive on the Brooklands track, but in a modern McLaren Formula 1 vehicle.
Perhaps you would like to drive the Brookland circuit?
PS: No, no, after you.
JAMES: Is it me?
Yeah, it's you.
Well, I can't... PS: Ready, steady, cook!
VO: Very good Phil.
ALLAN: 130mph plus around here.
JAMES: They were brave guys.
PS: If you made a mistake, you'd only do it once.
I am on it, I am on it now.
He is going for it.
Turn left here and ugh!
You told me to turn left!
PS: Not doing 140!
(BOTH LAUGH) It's a really unusual way to park, that.
VO: So, no luck on the virtual track - how about a go on the real thing?
The historic track's surface is very uneven - James needs to take it easy on the precious Jag.
Phil on the other hand has no such worries.
PS: Call yourself a driver?
VO: And once again history is made on this iconic track - the first time an E-type Jag has been over taken by a golf buggy.
Right you two, now that you've desecrated this hallowed ground, time to get back on the open road.
See you later.
Thank you very much.
PS: Cheers now.
ALLAN: Enjoy the race.
Amazing.
Want to go up there?
PS: I don't mind where we go.
That is incredible isn't it?
They would have been going round here at what 140?
140 really, yeah.
VO: Now, Jodie and David are in their car and en route to their first shop of the day.
And Jodie's reflecting on why she likes antiques.
I suppose I was brought up in a house that always had, everything has been handed down.
Yeah.
So that is why I'm not a modern person, I don't like all these modern bits and pieces and new architectures.
I am a real oldy woldy girl.
Good!
The dream woman, Jodie, in so many ways.
Really?
Yes.
Aw!
Bless your heart!
VO: You are smitten, aren't you David?
And who wouldn't be?
They're aiming for Dorking, in Surrey.
Pretty Dorking in the Surrey Hills can lay claim to a place in world history - one of the Pilgrim Fathers who sailed to America hailed from the town.
Let's hope David and Jodie can be as bold this morning as they head for their first shop.
Talbot House Antiques Centre, where assistant manager Wendy will assist.
JODIE: Oh, here we go.
DAVID: It is a bit posh.
David, hi there, marvelous.
We have a lot of work to do.
We better get stuck in.
Come on then.
VO: They still have a generous £342 left to spend.
So I had a very interesting conversation with James when we were overtaking you.
About cooking?
No not about... Not cooking?
No, not about cooking, about what they bought.
You didn't tell them what we'd bought did you?
JODIE: No.
DAVID: You didn't, promise?
JODIE: No.
DAVID: Well done, good.
Let's get going.
We'll get going.
VO: Oh dear.
Don't say I didn't warn you Jodie.
But the good eye Jodie displayed yesterday seems to be carrying her through.
JODIE: That is a great hip flask.
DAVID: That is a good hip flask.
JODIE: Edwardian, cut glass.
VO: It's a hip flask dating from around 1910, fashioned of glass and silver-plated metal.
Ticket price is £64.
JODIE: Have a look at this.
I will give it a bit of a pull.
JODIE: Oh look!
DAVID: There is your cup.
No!
Isn't that wonderful?
Fantastic.
Oh, I love it.
That is good, isn't it?
I love it.
VO: Everyone's agreed.
But what are this hard-bargaining team going to offer for it?
JODIE: Realistically, what do you think?
I think you know, let's be honest, it is going to be estimated at £30-50.
We try and push for 30?
That would be a really, really, tough hard bid.
VO: Wendy will call the dealer who owns it.
WENDY: Hello, I wonder if you could do me a best price on an item here.
DAVID: For team Jodie.
WENDY: For team Jodie.
That you are a member of.
That I am... apparently I am a member of this team Jodie.
You're in.
..for the television... Show.
Versus James Martin that terrible chef.
Terrible.
VO: Oi!
The gloves have really come off now.
WENDY: Well, they are asking sort of 30-35...
The best is 45.
That is going to be at the higher end of the auction.
Yeah, I think it is going to be too difficult because we have got to pay commission as well.
He is not part of the team.
Do you want to ask him if he wants to be part of the team?
Just as him, does he want to be part of the team?
David is asking if you would like to be part of the team?
And that actually means, can we do a better price?
Shall I have a word with him?
Hold on a moment Andrew, I will just pass you over to David.
Andrew, I want you to be part of the team but I am going to put you now onto Jodie Kidd and she is going to see if she can do a bit better.
Haggle for 30.
Charm him.
Andrew?
Hello, how are you?
I am sorry for us completely like hassling you but it is very important that I beat James Martin and it is all about that chef, that terrible chef.
OK 35.
Is he in the team?
Yes, he is in the team.
He is in the team.
He is in the team.
Right, bye.
Oh hang on.
Thank you team member number four.
I'll put you on to number three.
VO: A most unusual bargaining tactic, but it has secured them the hip flask for a bargain £35.
Cheers!
Lovely.
Thank you very much indeed.
Well done.
Number three, you have done remarkable well, thank you very much indeed.
Thanks.
You're amazing.
VO: Now, James and Philip are still in search of more buys, and have doubled back to Horsham.
They're aiming for their first shop of the day, Queens Street Antiques, where dealer Jonathan resides.
JONATHAN: Good morning.
PS: Hi Jonathan, how are you?
PS: James.
JONATHAN: James, hi.
VO: And James has soon unearthed another item for his lot of kitchenalia.
One that's quite out of this world.
For God's sake.
We have got to buy this!
This bloke's mad.
No.
You've got to buy this.
You have to buy...
I've never seen one of these before.
It's a light... lamp.
VO: He's speechless, James.
This is a first.
It is - clearly - a lamp made out of an old tin of instant mash.
Yummy.
No, I want to go now.
This would be brilliant.
Yeah, OK, you can have it.
VO: But there's no ticket price on it - so best get upstairs and ask Jonathan what it can be.
If this makes 800 quid, we'll be laughing.
If that makes 800 quid I will take my clothes off and whistle three choruses of Rule Britannia whilst eating a packet of Crawford's crackers dry.
Can I put that online as well?
Yeah.
How much is this?
A fiver.
PS: Oh behave!
JAMES: A fiver!
Where did you buy that from?
I made it.
It's fully electrically safe as well, even earthed.
VO: But Phil's not convinced at a fiver so they're browsing on.
And it looks like Phil's been doing his homework.
PS: I looked online last night and I am now in the presence of the champion carrot slicer aren't I?
You diced a carrot... No...
In the Guinness Book of Records... Buggs, come on Buggs tell me.
In the Guinness Book of Records for the world's fastest peeler and chopper of carrots.
I did 28 carrots peeled and chopped in one minute.
VO: Cor that's impressive James.
You're clearly a cut above.
Heh.
Radios.
VO: They've thoroughly cased this joint but James' heart is really set on the instant mash lamp.
Oh dear.
So, aimed with a solitary one pound coin, Phil's going to try some hard bargaining.
PS: Can I buy the Smash light for that?
JONATHAN: That is such a small amount of money.
Go on Jonathan, be a gent.
I'll do it for three.
Two and you've got a deal.
VO: Don't throw it away.
Two and you have got a deal.
Otherwise...
Otherwise we can't get it.
We can't get it.
OK. Jonathan, we're mad.
Thank you very much indeed.
Yeeeess!
I've got my lamp!
VO: And that's as excited as anyone's ever been about instant mash.
Deal done!
Now, Jodie and David are still back in Dorking, and about to trip off into their next shop, Christique Antiques, where the owner goes by the name of Chris, funnily enough.
Lovely to meet you.
Thanks for coming.
Hi Chris, I'm David, nice to see you.
VO: And Jodie's got a strong idea of what she's looking for.
Anything motor racing, anything horsey.
DAVID: Point us in that direction.
VO: One room in here is stuffed with what we might term "mantiques" - lots of items relating to sports and adventure - right up Jodie's street.
A little golf ball there.
Oh motor racing!
VO: And Jodie's spotted something with a link to her very well-connected family.
JODIE: Douglas Bader was a very good friend of my grandmother's and I have got pictures of him having tea and dinner with my grandmother.
My gosh.
You know everybody don't you?
Well no, my grandmother did.
Just absolute heaven, I love this room.
Were you a bit of a tom boy as a girl?
Yes, definitely.
Were you?
And I think being the youngest of five I have always had to prove myself and I have always had to participate in everything, I couldn't be a quiet little one, otherwise you would get shoved to the ground.
I had to, you know, stand up for myself.
VO: Although there are lots of wonderful things in that room, David's not sure there's anything they can turn a profit on, so he's gently steered Jodie back out into the rest of the shop... ..where she quickly spots something that simply couldn't be more feminine.
JODIE: I saw this just as we were walking through and I think it's a perfume, I think it's what you put perfume in but I just thought it was really different.
Oh my goodness me.
I think it's absolutely out of this world delicious.
VO: It's a late Victorian perfume bottle of cut glass and silver, hallmarked to a Birmingham manufacture.
Gosh, tell me why you like it then.
It is something that you would see in a movie or something that's full of the elixir of life or something.
Yeah.
You know, it's quite...
I mean, that is absolute glamour.
Isn't it?
VO: It is!
Ticket price is a whopping £230.
But what could Chris do for our ruthless bargainers?
Original stopper.
What is... what is the best price to us?
Well I know you love it so 110?
Is that any help?
110, I mean... Chris, would you mind blocking your ears?
Shall I leave the room?
Put your hands over your ears and don't listen to what I'm about to say, right?
I think we could even be a little cheeky in a very nice way.
If you can get that for 75 or 80 quid.
OK. VO: Blimey!
That certainly is cheeky David.
Luckily Chris seems receptive to your cause.
Open your ears Chris.
Would you accept 75?
You're really pushing me now aren't you?
I couldn't go as low as that but I am prepared to go a little bit more, say 80?
I think, we will definitely, let me shake on that right now, for 80.
Wonderful.
VO: For a ferocious discount of £150 - ha!
- they get the delightful perfume bottle.
And they're all bought up.
Seriously, that is...
I think it will be a winner.
..best object so far.
VO: Now, James and Philip are still back in Horsham, and strolling onwards.
And they've just spotted somewhere that looks intriguing, it's a stained glass studio, Clifford Durrant and Son.
Stained glass, this might be interesting mightn't it?
I love stained glass.
Do you really?
VO: Where owner Cliff is kindly willing to help.
Hi there.
James.
Good morning gents.
Hi Phillip, how are you?
Philip, good morning.
VO: Cliff's firm both creates new pieces of art glass and undertakes the restoration of antique stained glass.
PS: Oh, this is fantastic.
CLIFF: This is the work bench.
This is where it all happens.
VO: They do have a number of glass pieces in the studio that they might just be willing to part with.
JAMES: That is nice, what is that?
CLIFF: That's not stained glass but of course it's painting on glass, that is quite an unusual piece that I bought many, many, many years ago off of an old stained glass artist.
VO: It's a design for the arms of the Earl of Coventry, reverse painted on glass - possibly created for the 9th or 10th earls, who held the title from the Victorian period up to the outbreak of World War II.
Phil seems smitten with it.
The achievement of the arms of the Earl of Coventry.
CLIFF: That's it.
PS: Do you like that?
I like it, as a chef I love all this, seeing the guy work like that, I love anything that's hand made.
If we buy this, I want to be fair to you.
Do you know what it's worth?
I have got an idea.
All those years ago, I think I paid him £20 for it.
JAMES: How many years was that ago for 20 quid?
22, 23.
It wouldn't surprise me if that went into auction and made 80 quid and it wouldn't surprise me if that went into auction and made 500 quid.
Would 150 quid buy it?
If you put 150 smackers in my hand, you can take that away with you.
Shall we get it down?
PS: I think this is absolutely beautiful.
You can have the dust as well.
I think this is absolutely beautiful.
Yeah, sold, hand him the money.
VO: So, after spending paltry amounts for nearly two days, they suddenly splash £150 on one item.
Let's hope the gamble pays off.
PS: You are a gentleman, thank you very, very much.
Lovely, thank you very much indeed.
VO: Now, with all their items purchased it's time for both our teams to meet up and unveil their buys.
It's a rather lively pub by the looks of it.
Jodie and David are up first.
OK, don't knock it or whip it off and knock everything off.
I won't.
VO: That's you told, David.
Gently... proper, proper.
Don't look like that.
Is that it?
VO: Yes, that's it James.
That is really cool because...
They have those in hospitals.
I was going to say that.
VO: Honestly.
What is it?
It's a kettle.
A kettle?
Yes.
VO: Yes.
As a chef you might have known that James.
That little bottle is quite nice though, that's alright.
JODIE: Now this is amazing, and you pull of the bottom and then you have got this beautiful cup.
DAVID: A drinking cup.
And it's quality Jodie and it's a real antique but if you want to see some really good silver, a cracking lump, that is good enough to stand at any top-end London fair.
VO: Yeah, I think that might be a bit bafflingly girly for those two.
OK, the star item, it is a cracking thing.
How much?
80 quid.
Cheap enough.
I think that could easily do 150.
That's our star buy.
Do you wanna see our star buy?
Yes.
We really want to see it.
Now you've been laughing at ours.
VO: Now, James and Phil's turn.
You are joking me, what is that?
JAMES: This is kitchenalia.
Oh.
VO: I don't think she's biting.
Tenner for two.
However, signed... JODIE: By you.
DAVID: By who?
PS: We got the bloke in the shop to do it.
JODIE: What is that?
JAMES: That is my star buy.
It's a light!
VO: Not a mash fan then David?
It's beautiful James.
The man in the shop...
It's art deco.
Art deco?!
He had it for sale for a fiver.
I bought it for two quid.
I think you got ripped off.
I didn't.
There's mashed potato enthusiasts out there.
That is iconic.
And that's one auction lot?
OK. VO: But surely they like the car-badged clocks?
PS: A Jaguar and a Rolls Royce clock.
Are they quite modern?
Elizabethan we thought.
OK. VO: Very good, Philip.
What about the hand painted crest?
PS: I don't know what that's worth, I have no idea at all but we gave him 150 quid for it because we sort of thought... That's a big punt, I've got to tell you.
VO: Worried, James?
But I think...
I think that is a fantastic... that is one of the best things I have bought on the road trip.
It is very interesting, no doubt about that.
It is interesting.
I think it is time that Mr Martin cooked us a meal.
Do you know what?
I think that is a jolly good idea.
Come on Chef, get on with it.
Lead the way.
You're washing up if I am.
We always wash up don't we Phil?
VO: But will they clean up at auction?
Before that, let's hear what they really think about each other's lots.
JAMES: A lot of that stuff that they got was kind of fashionable... years ago.
Yeah, it is old school taste that.
Yeah.
JODIE: The clock, not really my cup of tea.
No.
But the coat of arms, you just never know.
DAVID: I don't know with that one, it doesn't excite me.
JODIE: No.
DAVID: It really doesn't.
PS: It is a gamble lot in that other people might not see it, it might make only 80 or 90 quid but I am going to be disappointed if it doesn't make over 250.
So you are telling me my lamp is not a gamble?
I have bought dearer packets of crisps than that.
DAVID: Would you swap any of their items for any of your items?
No.
Not one.
Good.
Absolutely not one.
Neither would I ever in a month of Sundays.
Yeah.
Ha ha!
I think what we've done is spread the risk a bit.
Spread the risk?
Spread the risk.
VO: They all seem relatively confident.
VO: On this Road Trip, our pairs of competitive car nuts have traveled all the way from Lewes in East Sussex, touring a grand 150-mile journey through three counties, to finally reach their auction here... in Lewes in East Sussex.
Lewes, William Morris.
Ready for auction?
Good.
James and Jodie are on their way.
But James is being very, very naughty this morning.
JAMES: So at the moment I'm tweeting.
JODIE: No don't tweet, that's really unfair.
JAMES: I am.
VO: No, don't tweet.
What's a tweet?
JAMES: If I promise to cook dinner for 10 people using that kitchenalia.
No way are you allowed to do that.
VO: You are most certainly not James.
The Road Trip rules do not allow for freebies thrown in to sweeten lots.
Oh lordy, it sounds like he's trying to get his mates to bid as well.
Right, 10 o'clock, online.
VO: You, James, are incorrigible.
Speak to you later, bye.
VO: They're nearly at the auction house, Gorringes which has operated in Lewes since the 1920s.
What a good old car.
Hello.
VO: Right, you lovely lot - to the saleroom!
£100 on this lot, anyone bid me 100?
VO: Auctioneering today will be the esteemed Philip Taylor.
Before first gavel-strike though, what does he think of our pairs' lots?
I do like the armorial of the Earl of Coventry with the very nice motto, "firmly and frankly".
The Japanese lacquered table, normally they make £50 to £80 but with that damage to the top, we'll be struggling for £10 to £20 for that one.
VO: James and Philip started this Road Trip with £400.
They spent £242, and have assembled five lots for today's sale.
CLIFF: That's a deal.
You are a gentleman, thank you very, very much.
At least we know exactly where we stand.
VO: Jodie and David also started with £400.
They spent £173 and have only four lots in the auction today.
Today's sale is accepting online bids - so let's hope that gives them all the very best chance!
VO: First in front of the crowd is James and Philip's job lot of kitchenalia, signed by James and rather naughtily promoted by him, to boot.
£20 to start us, this sporting lot at 20?
Thank you £20 bid, opens up at £20.
Five anyone now?
At 20.
25 now.
A £25 bid.
30 anywhere?
£30 against you, 35 with you now?
35 bid.
At £35.
You can sign these chopping boards for Christmas.
It's a signed chopping board.
He might sign it again if you ask him nicely.
At £35 only, have you all... £40 on the internet, on the internet now at 40.
45... VO: Well someone on the internet's bidding!
Maybe James' cheeky tweeting worked.
45 will you?
No?
Shaking his head, it is on the internet now at £45.
At £45, I am going to sell it mind.
You're buying it?
Kelly's buying it, I beg your pardon.
All finished at £45.
VO: Well, well!
The lovely lady who was taking the internet bids actually bought it.
Well played madam.
But she isn't a tweeter, and was just bidding on the kitchenalia so it looks like James is off the hook for dinner for 10.
JODIE: That really, really tickled me.
VO: Now, it's Jodie and David's east Asian lacquered table.
They think it's shabby but chic.
Philip, today's auctioneer, just thinks it's damaged.
What will the punters make of it?
Any bids at 30?
20 I will take shall I?
Any bids at 20?
Yeah go on.
Somebody bid me something for it surely?
£20 again, in front at 20.
A man of taste.
At £20, very cheap at £20.
I can hardly believe it at 20.
JODIE: Come on guys.
PHILIP: At £20... Jodie Kidd will sign this one.
(LAUGHTER) DAVID: Yes you see!
25 against you now.
£30 sir?
At £30?
£30 is bid.
At 30.
JAMES: Don't bid anymore and I will tell you what she bought it for.
At 35... DAVID: And don't worry, James Martin won't sign it.
At £40, down there at 40, selling then, all finished on £40.
Yes!
VO: A delicious profit!
PS: I think that is absolutely despicable, below the belt and a cheap shot actually.
VO: Oh, cheer up Philip.
There's another try for James and Philip now, the German clock bought from Andre's shop.
What do you say about it?
Rubbish, that is what we say, oh sorry, did I say that?
Someone say £20 to get me started on it?
And bids at 10?
Somebody bid me £10 for this lot.
In good working order, I know it is going, because I am selling it.
Somebody bid me on it, pay £10 for it, surely £10.
Thank you, 10 I'm bid.
James Martin will sign it.
No, I won't sign it.
You could convert it to a wrist watch if you wanted.
At £10 only, £10 only.
VO: Ach nein, That one dive-bombs as well.
I thought these were supposed to be professional these ones.
Well I'm doing alright so far.
But what at?
VO: It's Jodie and David's handsome arts and crafts kettle now.
Rather nicely made, the arts and crafts.
Wow, that's a good little thing.
Going to start me at £30, £30 to start me surely?
Thank you £30 bid.
35, 40, five, 50, five.
At 55 now, I will let it go at 55.
At £55, I will sell it mind at £55.
DAVID: She'll sign it!
PHILIP: £55... 55.
Awww.
VO: Well, it cops a modest profit, but remember, they'll have to pay auction costs on that.
More copper now, as James and Philip's wine cooler thingummmyjig comes up.
Rather well made this is, start around £20 say someone surely for it?
Surely it must be 20?
Any bids at £20?
Ten I will take to start it, thank you, 10 I am bid.
I am only bid now at £10 for the tea.
I can hardly believe it.
VO: Neither can Philip.
At £10 only.
I am selling, any further bids.
She is scratching her head.
Sold it on £10 only.
VO: Oh dear oh dear.
You are not having a good day, are you chaps?
I just want to go for a beer.
PS: Can't afford it.
VO: Another nip for Jodie and David now as their Edwardian hip flask meets the punters.
£20 to get it started, someone start at 20 for the hip flask.
Go on.
Yes!
£20 bid, 25 now.
£30 bid, 35, 35, 40.
On the right the bid is at £40, only bid at 40.
At £40... Come on!
On the right at 40, 45...
Yes!
45... £50 bid.
£50.
At 50.
Have one more sir at 50?
Will you have one more at 50?
It is lovely.
It is beautiful.
The lady on my right hand side at 50.
On the right at 50 it sells.
Yes.
VO: The bidders have a swig and it's another nice profit for them.
Now in this car-themed Road Trip, a car-themed lot - James and Philip's clocks bearing the Rolls Royce and Jag badges.
Surely these have to speed away.
Start it say £30 for the two surely?
Must be more?
£50.
Ooh, opens up at £50.
VO: Hooray!
£50 bid at 50.
At £50 an opening bid at £50.
PS: What my mother is going to do with those I don't know.
Now it is all gone quiet in the room now at 50.
Gone quiet here and all.
I will let it go at two of them at £50 only.
VO: Finally an unabashed winner for James and Phil.
Now it's Jodie and David's favorite lot - the silver and cut glass perfume bottle.
Can they scent a profit?
I like this lot, say 40 the opening bid on it, must be 40.
Surely £40 to get it started.
Silver mounted at £40.
Come on, Jodie encourage them.
Surely £40.
£40 bid, 45 now, 50 bid.
At 55, 60 bid, at £60.
Come on.

70 bid.
At £70.

It is your bid madam at 70.

New buyer.
VO: Ah.
Promising.
75 new buyer, 75, 80 bid, at 80.
Come on.

Will you make it 100 madam?
DAVID: Yes!
PHILIP: £100.
Good.
PHILIP: 110?
DAVID: Go on.
JAMES: I wouldn't go any higher than that.

At 130... Come on.
At 130, all done at 130, finished with the lady behind you at £130.
It is yours madam at 130.
Jodie... We did it.
Again, well done, well done, fabulous.
VO: Jodie did a great job on that lot.
Now it's James' and Phil's star buy - the glass crest for the Earls of Coventry.
Let's "firmly and frankly" hope it flies.
If this makes 250 then we have sort of won.
If it makes 200 we have lost.
If it makes £100 I'm off.
Yeah.
VO: No pressure then, chaps.
Moves onto the interesting lot for you now, it is for the Earls of Coventry.
Big it up more than that!
£50 to start me on it.
50 bid here.
65, at 65, 70 bid, 75, 85, 90 bid.
At £90, at 90, 95, now £100.
110?
120, 130... 150.
150 it has jumped to, 150, £150, all out in the room then?
Here's the bid at 150.
Last time, see it sold at £150.
VO: Oh what a shame, not the flier they'd hoped for.
Well nice seeing you guys, it has been great working with you.
VO: So, Jodie and David - it's safe to say - are the clear victors today.
Is it over?
VO: Not that they're gloating.
It is a great feeling innit winning?
Don't you love it?
You do love it.
You're very good at it, come on.
VO: James and Philip started today with £400.
After auction costs are deducted, they made a not very appetizing loss of £24.70, leaving them with £375.30.
Hard cheese, boys.
Jodie and David also started with £400.
After auction costs, they made a quite lovely profit of £52.50 and so end this Road Trip with £452.50.
JAMES: I'm not gonna say a word.
VO: Well at least everyone's made some new friends.
God bless mate, see you soon.
VO: Bye bye Jodie!
I'm going to miss you girl.
Take care.
Thank you so much.
I can't get these long legs into here.
Yeah, I've got the same trouble.
VO: Oh Philip!
