VOICEOVER (VO): The nation's favorite celebrities... Oh, that is good.

VO: ..paired up with an expert...

I like that.

VO: ..and a classic car.

Feeling confident?

Er... VO: Their mission?

To scour Britain for antiques.

(GLASS SMASHES) Look at you.

You're really good!

VO: The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction.

(GASPS) Is it a find?

VO: But it's no easy ride.

XAND VAN TULLEKEN: Hey, come on!

VO: Who will find a hidden gem?

(MIMICS DUCK) Take me with you.

VO: Take the biggest risk?

Have you got a tow truck?

VO: Will anybody follow expert advice?

I might have bought rubbish.

Who knows?

VO: There will be worthy winners... Yay!

Whoo!

VO: ..and valiant losers.

Come on.

Someone else!

Someone!

VO: Put your pedal to the metal!

Aah!

VO: This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.

Yeah!

Who's up for some big stars in a suitably stylish car?

RYAN (RT): Whoo!

KIMBERLY (KW): Ha-ha-ha!

RT: Go on, Kim!

KW: (CHUCKLES) She is a beauty.

God, I forgot how much I love a good classic car.

Handling this snazzy Corvette Stingray is pop superstar Kimberly Wyatt.

And riding shotgun is her very good pal, soap legend Ryan Thomas.

The story everybody's wondering, how you and I KW: know each other.

RT: How we know each other.

10 years ago, was it?

RT: Was it 10 years ago?

KW: Yeah.

In the desert, on the playa.

RT: At Burning Man.

KW: Burning Man.

To see each other in feathered, glittered outfits in the middle of the desert, to going round the country roads... KW: Oh, my God.

RT: ..of the UK... (THEY CHUCKLE) ..looking for antiques.

(THEY LAUGH) VO: Trust me, it's just as exciting.

Missouri-born Kimberly took the pop world by storm as a member of the massive girl group The Pussycat Dolls.

Since then, she's not only competed in celebrity talent shows but has even been a judge herself.

Her chum Ryan was a fresh-faced teen when he rocked up on Britain's biggest soap, Coronation Street, and stayed for 16 years.

He also won the hearts of the nation winning a TV reality show.

But do either of them know anything about this game?

How's your antique knowledge?

RT: Not great.

(THEY CHUCKLE) So you've already got the head start, I believe.

Well, me and my mum used to go KW: antique shopping a lot.

RT: Great, great... She loved antiques... RT: Just what I want to hear.

KW: But that was in America!

I don't know if there's gonna be any similarities whatsoever.

KW: This country is a lot older.

RT: Right.

VO: Well, we have pounds instead of dollars to spend, 400 of them each, in fact, but the rest of it should be no different.

I am not a haggler.

OK, neither am I. I can't do it.

KW: I can't do it.

RT: I can't do it.

I tried a few times.

They're like, "OK, it's £20."

"I'll give you 15."

"I got to take 20."

"OK." (THEY LAUGH) We're too nice!

KW: Exactly.

RT: We're too nice.

We can't go in for the kill.

We are, we are.

VO: You just need some expert help.

Shame the two on duty today seem a bit starstruck.

NATASHA (NS): How exciting to meet a pop star!

SERHAT (SA): I know.

NS: And a proper soap star!

I've got a feeling they're stylish people.

Oh, I bet they are.

I bet they look like celebrities.

SA: (CHUCKLES) I think experts Natasha Raskin Sharp and Serhat Ahmet both scrub up pretty well too, especially in this '70s Alfa Romeo GT.

Do you love a bit of Pussycat Doll?

Well, you know, I'm really looking forward to spending a couple of days with Kimberly cuz she is quite the dancer, so I'm hoping she's gonna show me how to bust a few moves.

Can you cut a rug?

What does that even mean?

I'm guessing from your answer, no.

So, Ryan is such a familiar face to me from my uni days of watching soaps.

And, excuse me, NS: he was in Neighbours.

SA: Ah!

Was he?

I mean, we're dealing with some big names here, Serhat.

So... you go with Kimberly, I'll go with Ryan and then we'll reconvene tonight and talk about... ..how uncool we are compared to them.

VO: Yes, they are quite cool, aren't they?

Purrs like a kitten, roars like a lion.

(ENGINE REVS) RT: Oh!

(CHUCKLES) I mean, I could go shopping for antiques all day long if I'm in KW: a car like this.

RT: Easy!

VO: Well, today we'll be doing just that, where Ryan grew up, in and around Manchester.

They'll eventually wind up in Haslingden.

But let's kick things off in Atherton and the Atherton Antique Centre.

Here we are, look.

Just give me a five-minute head start.

RT: No head start.

KW: (CHUCKLES) Are you ready for this?

Let's do this.

VO: And it's a big one to start you off with.

Lots of cabinets owned by lots of dealers with lots of potential money spinners to sift through.

You could probably do with a bit of expert help, couldn't you?

Well, they're around here somewhere.

Ryan, hello.

So good to see you.

How are you?

I'm very well, Tash.

NS: Relaxed in an antique shop.

RT: Yeah.

Not at all thinking this is worrying or scary?

It's all calm, it's all calm.

Right, OK, follow me.

Let's go find some stuff.

Alright.

VO: One celebrity in safe hands.

Let's sort out the other one.

KW: Hiya!

SA: Kim!

Hi.

So...

I'm dying to know what... what do you like?

Well, I grew up doing a lot of antique shopping with my grandmother and my mum.

Oh, right.

So this, I feel like I'm back at home, as like a little girl in all the antique shops.

That's a great start.

So why don't we walk around and you can show me... What I'm into?

SA: ..what you like, yeah.

KW: OK.

So what will they find?

Something super, smashing and great?

Wow!

Wow!

Look at that, how much is that?

£50?

VO: Or completely electrifying?

KW: What in the world?

It's an Edwardian shock machine that's still working.

I'm sure somebody will be into that, right?

(GIGGLES) VO: Maybe a steer from an expert to ease them in gently.

NS: Ryan?

RT: Yes, Tash.

I'm looking at something that is very much my cup of tea, but I'm not sure if it's gonna be yours.

So, at first glance it looks like a little tea caddy, but in fact, it's just a biscuit tin, and that really charms me.

OK, let me be honest with you.

Hit me.

It doesn't scream out to me as the prettiest of biscuit tins.

I don't know if William Crawford & Sons is... a thing.

It's a big name in biscuits.

RT: Oh, is it?

NS: Yeah.

VO: Founded in Edinburgh in 1813, they were one of Britain's oldest biscuit makers and renowned for shortbread.

Are you a dunker?

I am definitely a dunker.

NS: Are you a dunker?

RT: Yeah, of course.

We can't hang out any more.

I'm so sorry.

RT: Are you serious?

NS: You're seriously a dunker?

Of course.

Who dunks in this day and age?

Soggy, wet biscuit all over.

(CHUCKLES) VO: Mm, lovely.

Until it falls in your tea.

In good condition they're worth £25 at auction.

RT: OK. NS: In this condition, might it be 15, 18?

The price is £10.

If it's your cup of tea, we can have a biscuit to go with it, can't we?

But I don't want maybe to dive in too quickly because you're not digging it too much.

RT: I'm trying to be nice.

NS: You are trying to be... And you're perfectly polite.

But let's find something that you love.

And if we can't, we have the tin.

Yeah, we've got this as a backup.

NS: OK. VO: Now, elsewhere, what's calling to our pop superstar?

Oh gosh, this looks like... My aunty used to have this sort of thing.

She had loads of this blue and white stuff.

SA: Really?

KW: She used to have a whole... cabinet full of it.

Bigger than this.

SA: And that pattern?

KW: Yeah.

Yeah.

So that's the willow pattern.

It's a very popular pattern.

You could buy that in the 19th century, even early 20th century.

It's just so iconic.

However, the sad thing is, it's just...

There's no kind of auction value to it.

KW: No.

SA: It's 10 a penny, you know, you can you can buy... All those years of not being allowed to touch it.

SA: Aw!

I ruined it?

KW: And it's come to this?

And this, my grandmother had so much... SA: Oh, wow!

KW: ..stuff like this.

So that's Wedgwood.

It's called Jasperware.

And they did it in pink and blue and yellow.

Lots of different colors.

Oh, yeah, it says there, Wedgwood.

SA: Yeah.

KW: Made in England.

Much value to it?

Not for that one.

It's a bit late for us, but it's nice... My family's collections are worthless!

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: Nonsense - if they love them, they're priceless.

Now, what's Ryan stumbled upon?

What do you have?

You know you're talking about biscuits.

NS: Yes.

RT: Well, we need a cup to dip our biscuits in.

I mean, you do.

I'm not...

I'm not a dunker, OK?

I can't stress that enough.

I just think, I don't know how old these are, but for me...

..I'd have these in my kitchen now.

I'd use these.

Is there a maker on the base?

RT: Yeah.

Beswick.

NS: Oh, Beswick.

NS: Right, OK, nice.

RT: Is that good?

They're the makers of, I think, Hilda Ogden's ducks.

Shut up!

VO: She's quite right.

Actress Jean Alexander always made sure one was wonky before filming.

The iconic Corrie Ducks are what I've been keeping my eye out for and I cannot find them or see them, but ideally we would find them and they would be made by Beswick.

Are you joking?

No!

I would say if we're going to enter into this maker's territory, for you, it would have to be the ducks.

OK, should we hold off for the ducks?

And if we see them, would you buy them?

I would 100% buy the ducks.

NS: Would you really?

RT: Yeah.

VO: Better get looking, then.

Now, upstairs, Kim's got her eye on something else.

Serhat.

KW: Come, come.

SA: Ha-ha.

KW: Look at this chair.

SA: Oh, wow!

Look, I would buy this for our house.

SA: Would you?

KW: This is amazing.

Is this the sort of thing you've got at home?

Yeah, it's the sort of thing we've been looking for, KW: if I'm honest.

SA: OK. Like, it feels old, but there's something kinda contemporary as well.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

It is beautifully made, actually.

They've really thought about the proportions.

I love that high back.

KW: Yeah.

SA: Have you sat in it yet?

I'm scared to sit in it.

No, go on.

You've got to try it.

You can't... You can't buy a chair without trying it.

KW: (EXHALES NERVOUSLY) Oh, it's holding me.

Holding me.

SA: Oh, gosh, it suits you.

KW: It does, doesn't it?

You're gonna want to take it home SA: aren't you?

KW: I am!

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: Well, for the auction, it will set you back £30.

You can see it with just a little blanket over it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Accenting a beautiful corner.

That's definitely one for the back pocket.

Yeah.

Do you wanna go over this way?

I'm really excited about that.

Yeah, me too.

VO: We're definitely getting into the swing of things.

Now, no ducks as yet, but it looks like Natasha has another potential to put forward.

Are you into Greek mythology?

Are you into the wild stories of the gods and goddesses?

I mean, I've just come back from a Greek wedding, does that...?

That'll do!

I've never been to Greece actually, and I love the Greek myths.

And one of my favorites is Artemis, or Diana, the Huntress.

And I'm just looking at this little pad of brooches and you can just see the quality difference, can't you?

Look at how beautifully she's carved out of shell.

Is that out of shell?

Yeah, different layers of shell chipped away.

I mean, cameos are not by any stretch of the imagination in, but it's the Greek mythological link that makes this quite interesting.

Portrait of a lady.

Portrait of a lady.

Portrait of a lady.

Diana, or Artemis, the Huntress.

NS: It just elevates it.

RT: OK. And I think that at £16... £16.

It's not expensive, but at auction, I would expect her to make 25, 35, 40.

Imagine.

NS: Imagine, the dizzy heights.

RT: Imagine!

Listen, I love a gamble and, erm, we've got the biscuit tin.

Oh, are you thinking that's a done deal?

Yeah, I'm thinking...

I think it's a good deal for £10.

NS: Yeah, but let's go speak to our man.

OK. VO: Who in this case is Tom.

He's running things round here.

RT: Tommy!

(CHUCKLES) So, erm, we've made a decision on the two items RT: we want to take.

TOM: Yeah.

RT: The cameo brooch.

TOM: Mm-hm.

And we want the... Crawford biscuit tin.

TOM: Yeah.

NS: Yeah.

RT: £26?

TOM: That's right, yeah.

RT: No barter?

TOM: No barter.

Straight up, give you the cash, walk out, happy... ..with our buy.

VO: Last of the big spenders, these two.

NS: Thanks so much, Tom.

RT: Thank you.

NS: Thank you.

Now, before they head off, there's just time to try out the cafe and brush up on those dunking skills.

Oh, you look quite chilled out on such a busy day.

I'm just having a cup of tea.

As you do.

How are you, Kim?

Yeah, I'm alright.

How's it going?

I'm saying nothing.

I'm joking.

I'm only joking.

KW: Hmm.

RT: Hmm.

Is your work here done?

My work is done here.

KW: Nice.

RT: Do you want a cup of tea?

Oh, mate, there's no time for tea.

I got to get going.

Oh, my girl is keen.

KW: Bye!

RT: You're worrying me now.

VO: Time you got going, too, Ryan, actually.

NS: OK. Two down.

RT: Woo!

We need to spend some more money, though.

You sound like my wife.

(CHUCKLES) VO: (CHUCKLES) Well, you do still have £374 in hand.

Off you pop.

Back inside, the search continues.

Look what I found!

KW: What is that?

It's an early American advertising corkscrew.

A corkscrew?

Is it?

Can you believe that?

Look how tiny it is.

KW: What?

John J Finn, liquor merchant.

VO: £35 on that.

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

SA: (CHUCKLES) KW: What do we think?

Do you think this has some value to it?

SA: Without the case... KW: It's just... SA: ..who cares?

KW: Yeah.

It's nothing, but the case...

The fact that it's still together and in great condition, the writing is still legible.

Really is.

I think it would have been burnt on.

Yeah.

And it would be crazy to find something with an American heritage... KW: Hello!

SA: ..to leave it behind.

I actually really love it.

I think it's so cool.

I mean, the stories this thing could tell.

I think you should buy that.

I'm into it.

KW: I'm into it.

Let's get it.

SA: Yeah.

VO: Time to talk to Tom.

Oh, here we go.

So we have had a lovely time looking through your shop, and we found a couple of pieces... TOM: Right.

KW: ..that I'd like to buy.

This corkscrew being one of them.

TOM: Right.

KW: Love that.

And then there's a chair upstairs that I love.

The £30 chair?

Yes, that's it.

So, that's £65 altogether.

£65?

Yeah.

Go for it.

Go for it.

We're going for it.

VO: That'll leave her with £335.

Let's take our corkscrew and chair and get out of here!

Well, you know, on second thoughts, that chair is never SA: gonna fit in here, is it?

KW: Oh, right.

VO: Yes, the Stingray is not renowned for its trunk capacity.

We'll have that sent on.

SA: And we're off!

VO: Now, time to find out how our local lad has coped with the morning's events.

Have we dropped you into massively unfamiliar territory, taking you into antique shops?

Yes and no.

So, I've got one family member, my Aunty Carol, who is obsessed with antiques.

NS: Aunty Carol!

RT: Aunty Carol.

And she literally has bought that many antiques, she's had to buy a storage unit/shop, and everyone goes to buy antiques there.

So she makes money, but then she defeats the object because she goes and buys more antiques.

I like the sound of Aunty Carol.

VO: We should get her on the show some time.

Ha!

These two are calling a halt to shopping and heading to Ryan's old stomping ground in the heart of Manchester.

Where, hidden in plain sight, amongst all these university buildings, is the best place to go stargazing in the city.

To find it, you just have to look up.

And showing them around this little scientific wonder will be Tony Cross from the Manchester Astronomical Society.

Always wanted to go there.

NS: Hello!

TONY: Hello, Natasha and Ryan.

How are you?

Welcome to the University of Manchester, to the Godlee Observatory, Manchester's gateway to the stars.

Please come and join me.

How could we resist?

VO: Standing proud above the city for nearly 120 years, this observatory was the brainchild of just one man, industrialist and polymath Francis Godlee.

The name doesn't ring a bell to me, but do lots of people around Manchester NS: know his significance?

TONY: Yes.

He's quite well known at the particular period of the 1900s when he owned a cotton factory.

Very, very wealthy man who gave a lot of money to charities and he was connected with the technical college here and found there was something missing in this building.

And that was a... ..observatory, to study the science of astronomy.

So from his own back pocket, he made the donation of £10,000.

Gosh, which year was that?

This was in 1902.

So that's a huge sum of money.

Exactly, yeah.

VO: That money, equivalent to about £1 million today, was used for the construction of this octagonal tower, built into the roof of the existing building, as well as the observatory dome itself.

And Godlee's donation also covered the cost of the two bespoke telescopes housed within.

TONY: The telescopes were cast by Grubb of Dublin.

It was the greatest telescope maker of that period.

A beautiful set of instruments, but dedicated specially for college use, not massive professional use.

And do they still work?

Of course they work!

RT: Wow!

TONY: Of course they work.

So, Tony, I came straight out of school into this college here doing acting diploma, and I never once looked up at this building.

And if by any slim chance you would do the honors of letting us come up there and have a look, that would be a massive privilege.

It would be a great pleasure.

Please follow me to the dome.

To the dome.

Ever since its opening in 1903, this observatory has been used by the city's Astronomical Society to observe all manner of celestial events.

Anthony will meet you up there.

Keep turning to the left.

NS: Oh, that's a tip, is it?

RT: Keep turning to the left.

TONY: That's the one.

VO: It survived two World Wars and the worst of the Manchester weather.

A fact made more surprising once you know that the dome itself is only made out of papier mache to keep the weight down.

And to show them how it all works, Anthony Jennings, the society's vice president.

NS: Look at this.

It's like nothing I've ever seen before.

This is outrageous.

The fact that you've got a telescope this big in a dome in the middle of Manchester.

What you're looking at is an eight-inch refracting telescope and a 12-inch reflector on the other side.

These are counterbalanced.

The major advantage is, this scope is wide angle and this is close-up.

I mean, I can't believe this is over 100 years old and is still used today.

We have actually modernized the telescope.

We put modern adaptors this end, we can use modern cameras, phone cameras.

We can view amazing amounts of detail from modern technology at the bottom end.

VO: Being in the heart of the city, with all the light pollution that comes with it, means that these telescopes can't see deep space objects.

But over the years, the society have observed and recorded all manner of heavenly bodies.

ANTHONY: We can see planets, we can see moons around the planets, ie Saturn and Jupiter.

We can see clusters of stars, we can see double stars.

We can even see remnants of blown-up stars such as the Orion Nebula.

That's amazing, isn't it?

It's fascinating.

VO: Of course, there aren't too many stars to see at this time of day.

Just the one big one, in fact.

So with a bit of help from Ryan... Ah, that's amazing.

VO: ..and a slight reconfigure, as you shouldn't look directly at the sun through a telescope, there's just time for our two to indulge in some solar observations.

This is so wonderful.

So what you're looking at is a projection of the sun.

If you look in detail, you can see the sunspots.

These sunspots are magnetic storms and look small on our screen, but we could fit four or five Planet Earths in them sunspots.

RT: No way.

NS: That is amazing.

They're just tiny dots.

That's so fascinating.

And are there better times of day to view the sun like this?

Preferably when it's not cloudy.

Ah, right.

VO: Which is easier said than done in Manchester.

Ha!

We can't thank you enough for letting us come and see this spectacle.

Shall we just stay here all night?

Let's stay here all night, yeah.

VO: Now with their sights set firmly on shopping, our pop princess and her antique expert are back on tour.

How are you finding the Corvette?

I tell you, I'm like, living the dream right now.

Have you driven one of these before?

So, my dad had a white Corvette.

I'm pretty sure it was the same year as this one.

No way!

How would you describe that color?

KW: Chocolate brown babes.

SA: It is beautiful.

Isn't it, though?

And then you pair that with this.

(ENGINE REVS) SA: Oh, my goodness!

KW: (CHUCKLES) VO: So, they love the motor.

What about their rivals?

Well, we're both really competitive, but we're really good mates, so... Aha.

It's hard to be competitive against each other.

SA: You start off as good mates.

KW: Yeah, right.

You know, "We're just gonna have fun.

"We're gonna compete nicely.

"We're just want to enjoy it."

But you'll see, I think you guys are gonna probably gonna get quite competitive.

Oh, sorry, Ryan, you're going down.

(THEY CHUCKLE) Well, that friendship ended quickly.

Ha!

Their next retail opportunity will be at Radcliffe and Classical Times.

Sounds like our sort of place.

Second shop!

Let's see what we're gonna find here.

VO: An awful lot for your £335 to go on, that's what.

Everything from vintage knickknacks to some rather nice antiquey pieces.

And one or two things our American gal might recognize.

KW: Oh!

My grandfather had a whole collection of these clowns.

SA: Oh, really?

KW: He did have a whole bedroom just filled with clowns.

My poor cousin had a clown phobia.

(THEY CHUCKLE) KW: He was so scared.

I'm yet to meet a person who doesn't have a clown phobia.

VO: I think Serhat's one of them.

I saw a couple of things downstairs.

KW: Did you?

SA: Yeah, do you wanna come SA: and have a look?

KW: Yeah, let's.

VO: Yes, it's a clown-free zone down there.

I can't believe how much stuff is everywhere.

So much.

This is one of the things I wanted to show you.

Oh, wow!

Oh, wow, indeed.

(THEY CHUCKLE) KW: I actually quite like the color.

SA: Yeah?

KW: Yeah.

It's a nice, bold piece.

It's probably for water.

KW: Yeah.

SA: But the subject of it is about wine.

KW: Yes.

SA: And this is Bacchus, the god of wine.

And he's quite drunk in this scene here.

And he's being carried by two satyrs here and here.

And there's grapes and vines all over it.

Nobody's putting water in that jug.

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: £80 is on that.

What do you reckon, Kim?

I like the masculinity on such a feminine vase.

That's a good point, actually, yeah.

KW: It's a good potential piece.

The other one's down there.

Yeah, OK. VO: Something a bit less boozy, perhaps?

Stop, stop, stop.

It's this.

KW: Oh.

(MUSIC PLAYS) It's not playing YOUR music.

KW: Yeah!

(CHUCKLES) SA: But... it's a musical box.

As soon as they op... KW: (GASPS) (DELICATE MUSIC PLAYS) Yeah, that's the bit I was waiting for.

That's a magical moment.

OK, so... historically, these would have been SA: smoking paraphernalia... KW: Oh, yes?

..shall we say?

Perhaps... cigarettes or ladies' cigars.

VO: He's going for the full range of vises today.

I'm sure you could repurpose it for something healthier.

There's movement, there's music.

KW: It dances!

SA: It does.

And it's probably from only the '50s or '60s, I would say.

Oh, no way.

But they're Swiss made and they are quite collectable.

So, in great condition, these can go for the high hundreds.

I can't imagine buying it myself, KW: personally.

SA: Right.

But it feels like a special find.

VO: There's no price on it, however.

Shall we find the dealer and see if we can do a deal?

We shall.

This is where I'm not very good.

VO: Yes, no-one's had a haggle so far.

Come on, Kimberly, show us what you've got!

Hi, Ian.

Hiya, Kim.

So, we've had a look around.

There's a couple of pieces that we're quite interested in.

One being the music box KW: that opens the doors.

IAN: Yes.

And the other, a nice big jug.

So, um, what are we thinking price-wise for these pieces?

I think the jug was 80.

Yeah.

Yeah, it has a slight crack, so, erm...

I'll do that for 40.

SA: Oh, wow, OK. KW: OK. Fabulous.

The music box, I've got 180 on it.

KW: Ooh!

IAN: I could do that for... IAN: 100.

KW: Alright.

I think you should go for it.

140 then, for the two pieces.

IAN: That's great.

SA: Brilliant!

Yay!

VO: Yes, thanks, Ian.

And well done, Kim.

KW: For you, good sir.

IAN: Thank you.

KW: Thank you so much!

SA: Thanks, Ian.

Well done!

What a deal.

VO: And £195 still in hand.

And that is the end of our first day.

VO: It's been a busy one, but our lot are still full of beans.

If the buyers could see me arriving in this car... (THEY CHUCKLE) ..I think it would up the value.

You could auction the pieces you bought from the back of the car.

A boot sale!

You know, everyone would want it.

I agree, I agree.

Right, I know what we need to do now.

Get us back.

Grab your phone, we're phoning Aunty Carol.

(LAUGHS) NS: Come on.

RT: Aunty Carol!

We need to tell her how it's all going.

RT: (CHUCKLES) I need to speak to this woman.

VO: Nighty night.

Rise and shine.

It's another glorious morning in the north.

I think it's a good way to wake up, this car.

It rumbles you awake.

I'm in my element.

I feel... RT: ..the top of cool right now.

KW: Yay!

VO: Yes, you both look very... celebrity.

How did you find yesterday?

I'm quite happy with the items that I got in the end.

I think one, two... four items.

RT: You got four items?

KW: Yeah.

How many have you got?

I got two items.

(CHUCKLES) Slow and steady wins the race.

Yay!

VO: Absolutely.

And of course, we've got the top team helping you out.

It's nice to have the experts.

Tash has been great for me, you know.

KW: Yeah.

RT: She finds things that... like, little hidden gems and I'm like, "How have you found these things?"

My expert has been really lovely to hang about with, Serhat.

I'm almost just looking for the moments where his eyes sparkle a little bit with like a, "Oh, we found something nice!"

Just keep showing him stuff.

"Does this do it?

Does this do it?"

Have you had any luck or does he give you the look, like, RT: "Kim, put it back."

(THEY CHUCKLE) And, talking of our experts, let's go over to the Alfa and get all the showbiz goss.

So come on, Serhat, tell me what it's like hanging out with a pop star.

I am in absolute awe of Kimberly.

Isn't she just a pop star?

Can I just say, to me, she's Kim.

NS: Oh!

SA: We're like that.

He's changed since his brush with fame.

And is she digging antiques?

She's digging antiques cuz her mum has inherited the grandmother's collection.

And her aunt was a collector.

Yeah, Ryan has an Aunty Carol, who is Madame Antiques.

SA: Really?

NS: She knows everything there is to know, and she is so thrilled NS: that he's buying antiques.

SA: Oh, my goodness!

So I think that everything that we purchase has to have the Aunty Carol seal of approval.

NS: No pressure.

SA: No pressure at all.

VO: Maybe that was the reason why Ryan kept his powder dry yesterday, spending a mere £26 on a cameo brooch and a biscuit tin.

If it's your cup of tea, we can have a biscuit to go with it.

VO: So, his budget still stands at a healthy £374 for today's shopping.

Woo!

VO: Kim went the other way, blowing £205 on a music box, a corkscrew, a bacchanalian jug and a rush seat chair.

SA: It suits you!

KW: It does, doesn't it?

VO: So, there's £195 left in her kitty.

Now, time to shine a spotlight on one or two of those finds.

And look, they've got an audience.

Moo-ve over.

KW: Hello!

RT: This is nice, innit?

Isn't it?

So, I've got one of my antiques.

You want to see it?

RT: Go on, then.

KW: (CHUCKLES) I'm just gonna wind it so I can give you the full experience.

OK. Oh, here she is.

(MUSIC PLAYS) KW: (CHUCKLES) Wow!

You've smashed it.

She sings and dances.

RT: Wow!

Go on, then, Kim.

How much you pay for it?

I paid about 100 for it.

£100?

KW: Yeah.

RT: That's amazing.

VO: Hey, don't you wish your antiques were hot like Kim's, eh, Ryan?

After seeing this, it's a bit of an anti-climax, but... KW: Aw.

RT: ..it's a biscuit tin.

And apparently a famous biscuit tin - underneath it's got its mark from where it's from.

How much did you pay?

£10.

Yeah.

Which I don't think is too bad.

No.

I might throw a few biscuits in there just to make sure that it sells.

Right, let's get back on the road, Kim.

Let's do this.

VO: Good idea.

Later, all their items will be off for sale at a Glasgow auction.

But for the buying, we're sticking to the northwest of England.

Next up, Bolton, where Ryan is just arriving at his next shop of the trip.

Unit 2, otherwise known as Gilly's Antiques.

A huge warehouse jam-packed with potential purchases.

It's a good job a scouting party has gone on ahead.

How we getting on, Tash?

Oh, my goodness, you gave me the fright of my life.

How are YOU getting on?

Cuz you've just seen Kimberly's stuff.

I have.

NS: Oh... RT: I'm worried.

Intimidated?

A little bit.

I mean, we're behind because we've only bought two little items.

We've come here today, we mean business.

Between us, we've not really brought that soap opera drama, NS: the cliff-hanger.

RT: (CHUCKLES) I think that we need to end this episode on a dun, dun.

RT: (CHUCKLES) NS: Oh, no that's EastEnders.

Oh!

I'm out of here.

I'm out of here!

VO: Whoops!

A bit of a faux pas there.

Let's leave the soap opera stuff to Ryan, eh?

RT: Natasha, come this way.

NS: Mm-hm.

You're not gonna believe it.

You're not gonna believe it.

VO: He's found the ducks!

I'm so chuffed.

I couldn't believe we didn't see them yesterday.

We were looking for the ducks.

We found the ducks.

I don't know the price of the ducks, which is worrying me a little bit.

NS: They're not, I don't think, identical to Hilda Ogden's and I don't think that they're Beswick, these ones.

No, I did check.

It says here they're from Burslem, L Grieve is the potter, so not as iconic, but come on, these are quite sweet cuz they're also wall pockets.

So you could put, if you wanted, put something in there, maybe a little... RT: Is that why it's there?

NS: ..selection of flowers, if you wanted.

But they're just quite sweet.

They're hand-painted.

RT: They're in good condition.

NS: Yeah.

The only one that's got a slight... NS: Oh, has a wing come off?

RT: A wing and the head.

NS: A wing and a head.

RT: Yeah.

OK, um... RT: But we're winging it!

NS: We are winging it.

I can't believe we found the ducks.

I can't believe it.

I'm so excited.

It's amazing.

VO: They'll definitely be one to ask Graham about.

He's the chap in charge today.

Now, what else can we find?

NS: Ryan?

RT: Yes.

Do you listen to the radio a lot?

RT: I do.

NS: You do?

As do I.

And I never consider Bakelite radios ever to take to auction because I've seen them sell for a tenner far too many times.

But I don't know - this shape, this model.

I know the maker, Ekco.

VO: The British manufacturer produced some of the most iconic wireless sets in the early days of radio.

They also played a big part in developing radar for the military.

But there's something so amazing about it, isn't it?

So '30s.

It looks like an art-deco building, doesn't it?

RT: Is it in good condition?

NS: It's in lovely condition as far as I can see.

But it's also quite funny cuz it looks like it has a wee face.

(MUSIC PLAYS) VO: That's why the model got the nickname, The Robot.

No price on that either.

It's got a little bit of character and you know, we haven't got that larger item yet.

And I think you need a standout piece.

Could this be it?

I don't know, I just haven't seen it.

I would feel bad if we took it to auction and it did what I hoped it wouldn't do, you know.

Listen, I'm like my dad.

I'm a gambler.

I love a gamble.

(CHUCKLES) Should we ask Graham about it?

NS: I think we have to.

RT: Go on, then.

But would you be scared if it was, say, £150?

A little bit.

Me too.

(EXCLAIMS) (CHUCKLES) VO: No harm in asking.

Let's talk to the man himself.

RT: Hiya, Graham.

GRAHAM: Oh, hi.

I'm interested in buying your three ducks.

GRAHAM: Right.

NS: He has to.

NS: He has to do it.

GRAHAM: (CHUCKLES) And you have a really unique radio.

Oh, the Bakelite one.

And then, what sort of price are we looking at?

On the radio, I can do 120.

On the ducks... ..28.

I mean, I know you can hear us, Graham, but I'm gonna do a stage whisper.

(WHISPERS) We haven't seen you haggling.

Get in there.

OK, so you can do the radio for...

I'll do the radio for a straight 100 and you'll do well with that.

So would you take the radio and the ducks for... ..115?

GRAHAM: Go on.

I will do.

NS: Oh, are you serious?

GRAHAM: Yep.

NS: Nice!

OK, cool.

(LAUGHS) Amazing!

This is great news!

VO: Now, how's that for a haggle?

And they finally spent some proper dosh.

RT: You alright there?

NS: Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, it's just... NS: Just a bit heavy.

(CHUCKLES) RT: Go on, then.

VO: And that hefty purchase leaves Ryan with £259 to spend.

RT: Seat belts on.

NS: Safety first.

RT: Safety first and off.

Yeah, those ducks have had enough cracks.

RT: (CHUCKLES) Now you're at it!

VO: So let's see how our American friend is adjusting to life in the North.

We're essentially on Ryan's territory here, aren't we?

We're in Greater Manchester.

It's like, I get to see places that he would hike to as a young boy and, like, really take Manchester in from the spots that I really love, which is more just outside of the city with the most stunning views.

SA: Yeah.

KW: Lots of lovely cows, like, this is my sort of vibe.

VO: Well, it ain't Missouri, that's for sure.

Ha-ha!

Our double platinum-selling pop star and her pal are heading to the town of Rochdale.

They've come to hear the rags to riches showbiz tale of a local lass who became the biggest musical star of her age - Gracie Fields.

GRACIE: # Singing a song # We'll march along the highway.

# VO: To tell the story, Gracie biographer Sebastian Lassandro, and it looks like protective clothing is needed.

Huh.

KW: Hi there!

SEBASTIAN (SL): Hi.

Welcome to Rochdale Town Hall.

They are currently undergoing a multimillion pound regeneration project of this fantastic building.

I notice there's a plaque up there saying Gracie Fields.

Who was Gracie Fields?

Gracie Fields was one of the world's first female superstars, and she came from here in Rochdale.

She's a singer, an actress, a comedienne, a philanthropist.

And many of her return home visits to Rochdale were centered here at the town hall, where she would address the crowds of thousands waiting for her from the town hall balcony upstairs.

Oh, can we see it?

Certainly, yeah.

Let's have a look.

VO: These town hall appearances where Gracie would sing and tell jokes to the huge crowd below came at the height of her career when she was an international star of stage and screen.

A far cry from her humble beginnings.

KW: Oh, wow!

This is stunning!

So did Gracie grow up near this town hall?

Yes, certainly.

So she was born in January 1898, just around the corner on Molesworth Street, above her grandma's fish and chip shop.

So, yeah, Gracie would have known all the sites around this area, definitely.

KW: Oh, my gosh.

SL: Her mum was taking washing for the local theater and Gracie would go and listen to the stars backstage.

And that's how Gracie started her career in show business, by impersonating the people that she'd heard at the local theater.

And eventually she turned professional.

She made her first pantomime appearance in 1914, which set her on the road to stardom.

VO: Gracie's big break came with the show Mr Tower Of London, which she toured the UK with for eight years.

By the time it got run in the West End, Gracie was a household name.

SL: She got to know her audiences locally in local towns, which is why she became super popular, because she'd been all round the country and people knew who she was.

So by the time she started recording gramophone records in the late '20s, people knew, "Oh, Gracie Fields, I remember her coming to our town."

Which is why her popularity really skyrocketed quite suddenly.

VO: Gracie was a huge recording artist with a vast repertoire of comedy songs, often sung in her trademark Rochdale accent.

GRACIE: # Lead me to the altar # And I'll show you Where I'm tattooed.

# VO: But it was a ballad that became her most famous song - Sally.

She would sing it at every appearance and it even worked in her first motion picture - Sally In The Alley in 1931.

GRACIE: # Sally, Sally # Don't ever wander.

# All of her films were very much the Lancashire lass who goes to save a town hall or goes on holiday to Blackpool to save this, that and the other.

And it was obviously for the working classes that she was playing for.

I love that even into her film career, that sense of community still stayed.

Oh, definitely, yeah.

It was the era of the Depression and all the working classes were struggling, and Gracie's songs were morale-boosting, energetic chorus songs that the people enjoy.

She was the highest-paid film star in England.

And Hollywood said, "Well, we want a piece of that action," which quite upset Mae West when Gracie signed a contract - the highest-paid film star ever in the late 1930s.

KW: Attagirl.

SL: She made 16 films in total.

Amazing.

VO: Her huge fame and fortune allowed her to work tirelessly for charity.

She set up an orphanage for the children of theater performers, which she funded for 40 years.

And when the war broke out in 1939, she was one of the first entertainers to perform to allied troops stationed all over the world.

GRACIE: # Wish me luck As you wave me goodbye.

# After the war, Gracie returned to Rochdale, performing here, at Champness Hall, to a packed house.

So this hall is quite a magnificent space.

I can dream of her performing here.

SL: That's right.

Yeah.

She was right here in 1947 for her comeback concert to the BBC and performed to her local townspeople, which was quite special for her, I think.

VO: Because of her long and illustrious career, Gracie was given many accolades, including the freedom of Rochdale and a damehood.

She continued to perform, on and off, right up to her death in 1979.

And here, in her hometown, she'll always be remembered as "our Gracie".

Well, Gracie, I think, was one of the world's first real superstars.

And the fact that she came from such humble roots here in Rochdale, I think the town has always been proud of that.

And even today, ask people on the street, "Name something from Rochdale," they'll say Gracie Fields.

And it's amazing that she's still so fondly remembered 40 years after her death.

What an inspirational entertainer.

GRACIE: # To # Me.

# VO: Now, out in the Alfa, do our soap star and his chum have any plans for their final bit of shopping?

I'd like something that was a bit of a statement, maybe a big piece.

You know, I like to take a gamble with something extravagant.

An extravagant gamble?

I like that.

Would you say that's what you took when you left acting school to go on Corrie?

No, that was just a way of getting out of school.

NS: Oh, right!

(THEY CHUCKLE) Leaving Corrie was probably the biggest gamble, cuz you never know, er, what's gonna happen after that, but...

I'll tell you what happened.

You came on Antiques Road Trip NS: and you bought some ducks.

RT: I did!

I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't leave that show.

That gamble paid right off, my friend.

I'm telling you!

VO: Oh, yes, a career highlight, is this.

Journey's end for these two will be in the Lancashire town of Haslingden.

RT: Here we go.

NS: Indicator.

There it is.

Oh, are you gonna drive right in?

Why not?

Right up to the door.

I like your style.

(CHUCKLES) VO: Home of the Rossendale Antique & Vintage Warehouse with off-street parking for one.

Nice little stretch.

Ready for the big shift.

(CHUCKLES) NS: Come on, let's find it.

VO: Well, for a place of this size, it pays to be limber.

There's an awful lot of wild and wonderful things to sift through in the search for Ryan's bit of extravagance.

Mind you, with £259 still to play with, I don't think money will be an issue.

Aye, aye, taking a break already?

Tasha!

(CHUCKLES) Look how comfortable you are in an antiques shop now.

This is your thing.

Well, this, you know, chair represents my confidence in antique buying now.

Or I'm just making it all up as I go along!

VO: You wouldn't be the first, Ryan.

RT: I've come across this.

NS: This?

RT: This.

NS: OK.

So it doesn't scream Ryan Thomas to me.

It's not my taste, but it looks like a proper antique and it looks like it's in good condition.

And I think there was a piece of marble that goes on the top of this.

VO: He is getting the hang of it, isn't he?

It looks like it has a bit of age.

It's late 19th, early 20th century.

Is that what you think it is?

I think so.

Yeah.

I mean, the kind of dead giveaway is, around here, the brass section here, which is what you would describe as swags - like drapery - going all the way around it.

That's so late 19th century - a swag.

And there is something very romantic about this, because those little ceramic inserts, they're courting couples, aren't they?

RT: Mm-hm.

NS: They're courting.

They're falling in love.

VO: Oh!

Sweet.

There isn't a price tag on it, however.

We have plenty of space in here and a little bit of time.

Will you let me mull it over?

Yeah, I'm up for negotiation on that one.

Let's, er... RT: Let's keep looking.

NS: Oh, I'm glad you stood up.

That was... My little leg was starting to cramp.

RT: I know, mine is, as well.

NS: OK, moving on.

VO: That's what happens if you don't warm up properly.

Meanwhile, there's a chocolate-colored Corvette also heading to Haslingden.

I absolutely adore this car.

I feel like we are becoming one now.

We're gonna have a tough time taking this car away from you.

It's true.

It's true.

This is now Kimberly Corvette.

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: It's got a ring to it.

Now, let's talk strategy.

KW: We've got a bit of cash to spend.

SA: I know.

You did so well yesterday.

So we've got about half our budget left.

And I think it'd be nice to just maybe think about going big.

I do, too!

Spend it all buying something amazing.

Yeah.

Something that's gonna be a bit wow!

VO: Well, let's see what you can find at your final destination - Holden Wood Antiques - just down the road from your rivals.

They're splendid premises, aren't they?

SA: I hope that bodes well SA: for what's inside.

KW: Yeah, right?

VO: I don't think you'll be disappointed.

It's a shrine to some absolutely divine old things in here.

Finding one that fits within your £195 budget might be a challenge, though.

Better get busy.

Serhat, look at these beautiful oil lamps.

They look great together, don't they?

They do.

You see, my mum had 72 of these things.

72?!

(THEY CHUCKLE) Were there any others left in the world?

She took all of 'em.

SA: She did.

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: Sadly, these ones are out of your price range.

SA: I think we're just going to have to say goodbye.

And you spent some of your time in America with 72 of them.

KW: You know... SA: Do you need another?

KW: Do I have to leave it there?

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: Another of Kim's family heirlooms that won't make the cut.

Back along the road, Natasha is still trying to rootle out that killer item.

But having spotted that fancy table earlier, Ryan downed tools for the day.

She missed that, Ryan.

Try it again.

Wahey!

Alright, Tash?

RT: (CHUCKLES) Why walk?!

(CHUCKLES) VO: I'd take the hint, Natasha.

Let's grab a dealer.

John!

Come into my office.

Or your office.

(THEY CHUCKLE) NS: Yeah.

Let's get it right.

Yeah.

RT: There's a piece of, um, what do we call it, Tash?

A brass-galleried, circular tripod.

JOHN: Drum table?

NS: Yeah, a drum table.

RT: Drum table?

JOHN: I know the one.

What's the price on it?

I've got 200 on it.

NS: Oh, no.

200?

Whoa.

We were not expecting that.

This is embarrassing.

I didn't even realize the price of it.

I thought I could nick it for 50 quid.

I can't do that.

60 quid and it's yours.

We've got a deal.

NS: So hold on, hold on.

JOHN: Yeah.

What just happened there?

NS: £140 just disappeared.

JOHN: Yeah.

Yeah, because I bought it at the right price, so I can sell it at the right price.

I love you so much, mate!

(CHUCKLES) You've actually made my trip.

VO: He is a very generous man, is John.

And with £195 left over, that's Ryan's shopping done.

(THEY CHUCKLE) NS: I think he's excited, John.

JB: Good, good.

NS: I think he might be excited.

RT: I'm a little bit excited!

VO: Elsewhere in Haslingden, our other two are still on the hunt.

Kim, what do you think of this weird and wonderful thing?

KW: Oh.

SA: (CHUCKLES) KW: Oh I quite like that, you know.

SA: Hello.

KW: Hello there!

(THEY CHUCKLE) Oh, you know, I love that.

I would have that in my house.

And it's got this lovely, lovely feel to it.

It's so tactile.

I want to see this label.

"Very heavy."

(THEY CHUCKLE) "Very heavy 20th century sculpture.

Rare."

I mean, it's not 20th century.

It is a water pulley.

So the rope would go round this bit.

(GASPS) KW: Oh, no way!

SA: And so you could...

So that's why it's, like, got the divots?

Absolutely.

And this is probably 19th century.

KW: Really?

VO: It's hard to know for sure, but it could have been the pulley wheel for a village well.

It's certainly seen some use.

This is old.

SA: And... KW: It feels a bit like a find.

Is it a find?

It's £150.

It's in budget.

And I think... that this is something that could do well at auction.

This is speaking to me.

I'm gonna see how heavy this is.

SA: Oh, my goodness.

KW: Is it really?

Yeah, listen, I'm gonna see you downstairs.

Yeah.

VO: We'll go on ahead and meet John, who's manning the till.

You... take your time.

SA: We're nearly there, though.

KW: You've got this.

(THEY CHUCKLE) KW: I'm here for moral support.

SA: (GROANS) SA: Hi, John.

JOHN: Hi.

Kim's gonna do the talking.

JOHN: OK. KW: So we found this piece that I quite like.

JOHN: OK. KW: Yes.

How much for it?

It says 150 on the ticket, which...

Sounds like a bargain to me.

Is there any sort of deal you could do for us?

How about 120?

Yeah, 120.

I'll do 120.

JOHN: That's great.

KW: You've got a deal.

JOHN: Fabulous.

VO: Lovely job.

And with just £75 left, Kimberly's all shopped up, too.

Thank you so much.

I love this piece.

SA: I love it, too.

JOHN: Enjoy it.

KW: I will.

SA: I'm gonna carry it like a trophy, because I think SA: we're gonna win now.

KW: Yes!

With this piece under our belts.

VO: Well, there's only one way to know for sure.

Have you ever sold anything in an auction?

I don't think I've ever been to an auction before.

Really?

In the States, it's a completely different way of auctioning.

Like, they do this thing like... (MUTTERS GIBBERISH) Hey!

It's not like he's saying anything, but he just makes all these sounds.

Whereas auctions here are a little bit different.

I mean, this could go one way or the other.

This could go drastically wrong and I could end up out of pocket.

Ooh!

Or I could be very lucky and absolutely... wipe the floor with you, Kim.

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: But, before that, let's get some shuteye, shall we?

It's auction viewing day.

Time to find out who's the better buyer - Manchester or Missouri.

How are you feeling about today, Kim?

You know, I'm just excited.

Like, I love the pieces that I found, personally.

I would have at least most of them in my house.

KW: So I bought from the heart.

RT: OK. And we'll just see if that actually pays off.

I'm confident about some of the items.

Yeah.

Confident.

RT: I want to beat you!

KW: Ugh!

I want to beat you!

Well, enough talk, let's get to the auction.

RT: Oh!

KW: See who's boss.

VO: Looks like we're parking the friendship for a while.

After shopping around the northwest, our soap star and pop star have headed to Northamptonshire and Kettering, where they have a rendezvous with some antiques mentors at the Barton Hall Hotel.

NS: Can't lie.

You're making that car look good.

You really are.

RT: Got to turn up in style.

SA: Yeah.

NS: How are you doing?

RT: Very well.

NS: Excited?

KW: I'm so excited.

KW: I can't wait.

SA: Nervous?

Confidently nervous.

Ah, that makes no sense, but come on.

(THEY CHUCKLE) Join us in the orangery.

Confidently nervous.

VO: All their prized purchases have headed way up north to Glasgow to go under the hammer at McTears Auction House, where there are bidders online, in the room and on the books - all under the watchful eye of auctioneer James Bruce.

At £85 here.

VO: Ryan spent £201 on five auction lots.

Let's see if James rates any of them.

The Ekco wireless receiver is a phenomenal piece of art deco.

I've got really high hopes for this.

They're very collectable things and I think this will fly at auction.

VO: Kimberly spent quite a bit more - £325 on her five lots.

What do you think, James?

The 19th century water pulley immediately caught my eye.

If I hadn't been told what it was, I could have spent hours guessing.

I think, with its contemporary sculptural look, it will do very well.

VO: So, pop star versus soap star.

Which one will clean up?

I've been looking forward to this.

RT: All the hard work is done.

NS: Yeah.

SA: Yeah.

RT: Just got to beat Kim now.

(SQUEALS) VO: It's one of Kim's to kick us off, now.

Her corkscrew - a little piece of home.

£10.

£10 with me.

15.

Thank you, sir.

KW: Yes, yes!

SA: Come on.

Come on.

JAMES: 20 online here.

KW: Go on.

JAMES: £20... SA: Yes!

..for the unusual corkscrew.

At £20.

Are we done?

KW: No!

We're not done!

SA: No, we're not.

We're not.

JAMES: If we are, fair warning.

KW: No.

The hammer will then come down at £20.

Ah!

JAMES: Today.

KW: No!

RYAN: Oh!

NS: Are you OK?

KW: It hurts my soul.

VO: And your bank balance.

It's done wonders for Ryan's mood, though.

KW: Reveling in excitement.

RT: Yeah!

Reveling in excitement.

RT: Am I allowed?

KW: (LAUGHS) Cuz normally, I would feel your pain, Kim.

But, right now, I'm like, "Oh!"

KW: You feel no pain right now.

RT: No!

Not pain!

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: It's the battle of the Roman gods.

Now, Ryan's Diana brooch is first into the fray.

Opening at, what can we get - 30?

NS: Oh, go on.

JAMES: £20, then.

If you're in.

Or 10.

NS: Oh, no.

JAMES: I'll take 10 JAMES: if you're bidding.

NS: No, no.

JAMES: It's got to be worth that.

NS: It does.

JAMES: £10.

You're hovering online.

OK, five, then.

NS: Five!

RT: What?!

Five, it starts.

And 10 now?

£15.

JAMES: 15 at the back.

RT: 15!

Starting to pick up a bit of pace here, at £20.

20.

And you're out.

£20.

Yes, it's a profit.

Ha-ha!

(CHUCKLES) Ow!

..bring the hammer down, then, for the cameo brooch at £20.

JAMES: Fair warning here.

RT: You're playing with my emotions.

A fiver and we got to £20!

It's a roller-coaster.

VO: Looks like the Huntress scored a hit.

I'm really happy with that.

It feels so good to make a profit.

It's like, er...

I was really excited.

(THEY LAUGH) VO: It's the turn of the god of wine, next - Kim's Bacchus jug.

I've got £10 in the book, but we've quadrupled it.

It's been blown away with £40.

SA: Hooray!

NS: Good, good.

KW: OK. JAMES: We have, indeed, 45.

NS: Yay!

SA: Yes!

£55 for the Minton's Bacchanalian jug.

JAMES: 55.

Can we get more?

SA: Come on.

RT: Come on!

SA: Yes, we can.

We can.

It looks to have slowed and I can sell at £55 now.

Oh, nice!

SA: That's good.

That's alright.

KW: OK. VO: Someone's been celebrating that victory.

How about Kim?

You're not buzzing as much as I thought you would be.

Will you be happy with this win, though, Kim?

KW: OK, I'm happy.

Really happy.

RT: (CHUCKLES) SA: Be happy.

KW: Great.

KW: Great.

RT: Alright.

Ryan's tea caddy-style biscuit tin is next.

Let's hope the bidders fancy a nibble.

Can we get £30?

NS: Ooh, Go on!

SA: Optimistic.

£20, perhaps.

Are you bidding?

Yes, please!

£10, then, I will take.

NS: No!

JAMES: £10.

15 now you've bid.

Oh, good.

Good, good.

NS: Profit.

JAMES: 20, if you're coming in.

Another bid, surely?

JAMES: £20 if you wish.

NS: Oh, go on, one more.

NS: Take 18, take 18.

RT: Go on, give us a 20.

Fair warning, at £15, then.

I was hoping it would double up.

But it's a profit.

It's a profit.

RT: We made a profit.

VO: Not quite a slam dunker - ha-ha!

- but definitely a dunker.

We've not made a loss, yet, have we?

Oh, that's yet to come, don't you worry.

Don't say that!

KW: (LAUGHS) RT: Tash!

VO: Now, can Kimberly's music box offer up some success?

I've got £15 commission bid, but you've got 20 online.

NS: Oh.

it could be a climber, NS: could be a climber.

JAMES: £20 it is online.

25.

Thank you, sir.

25.

Are you there online?

It looks like you're out.

KW: I mean... come on.

SA: No it can't be.

SA: Oh, no, no.

£25, then.

Oh!

RT: Ooh.

SA: That's bad.

VO: Oh, Kim.

That just didn't hit the right note with the bidders.

NS: Would you buy it again?

KW: No!

(THEY CHUCKLE) NS: I was hoping you'd say, "Yes, I loved it!"

I never loved it.

But I thought it was very unique.

(THEY LAUGH) VO: Time for some Corrie nostalgia, now.

Ryan's ducks.

The other one's around somewhere.

It starts at 10, but I've got 15 in the book.

Keep them coming.

At 20 now.

And five.

Oh, profit!

30, if you're in.

30, now.

And five.

SA: No way.

40 and five.

I'm so chuffed!

JAMES: Looks like you are.

45.

At £45 now.

Fair warning.

NS: Well done.

KW: Oh, my God, are you kidding me?!

What is going on right now?

I knew it was a good buy!

I knew it!

VO: Yeah.

They're gonna look lovely on somebody's "muriel".

45 quid for three broken ducks.

(THEY CHUCKLE) RT: It's just mental.

RT: It's mental.

KW: Crazy!

The bonkers thing is, though, on another day, they probably wouldn't even sell.

NS: They were so sad.

RT: Oh, no, they'll sell.

(THEY LAUGH) VO: Now, Kim's got the perfect spot for this chair.

But does anyone else?

At £30.

£30, £20.

SA: No!

NS: Don't drop.

£10.

Surely it's got to be worth £10.

£10 online.

15, if you're in.

Seems a shame.

At £10, I can sell.

Fair warning.

At £10, then.

VO: Poor Kim.

It's really not going her way, is it?

I mean, I was so excited about the chair.

I'm now reconsidering my entire... outlook on antiques.

VO: Next up is Ryan's favorite - his drum table.

What have we got?

I've got 15 in the book, but you've doubled it and added five.

It's 35 online.

Who's got 40?

That was some fast maths!

Right, OK, come on.

£35.

Good, sir.

Thank you.

At £40.

I don't want you to be in a bad mood, Ryan.

You're out.

45, it is online.

JAMES: Are we done?

NS: It's close.

JAMES: 45.

NS: Come on.

JAMES: The hammer will come down now.

KW: No.

JAMES: At £45.

No.

It looks like a freeze frame from all of us.

(CHUCKLES) VO: Stunned silence.

Ryan's first loss.

Personally, I think you did pretty well.

You don't have a clue about antiques.

Well, you do.

But... (THEY LAUGH) VO: Last up for Kimberly, her hefty pulley wheel objet d'art.

We have got 35 in the book, but we're going up.

45, 55, 65 online.

65.

Keep going.

I can sell, but 70 and five.

NS: No!

SA: It's going up, going up.

JAMES: 80 and five.

NS: Oh, oh.

90 and five.

100, if you wish.

NS: Go on.

KW: Come on, keep coming.

You're gonna get in the hundreds.

95.

I will sell.

£5 more and it could be yours.

NS: Come on.

JAMES: If not... KW: No!

JAMES:.. the hammer will come down.

£95, it is.

110!

Goodness.

I want 100 for Kim.

But it's now away at 110.

Oh!

Oh, 110!

JAMES: All done.

I will say... SA: No, no, no.

JAMES: ..fair warning for this lot here.

NS: Oh, 110!

So close!

RT: Nearly there!

VO: At least it didn't go for buttons.

A valiant effort, Kim.

You've just thrown a tenner down the well.

NS: Oh, no.

KW: Yeah!

(CHUCKLES) There's no wheel pulley KW: to pull it back up.

RT: Nothing there.

We did.

Oh, dear.

VO: And, finally, Ryan's art deco radio.

The auctioneer's a fan.

Is anyone else on the same wavelength?

JAMES: At £70 in the room.

NS: Oh, no, 70!

But there's bids online.

Five, 80.

80 here.

Five, if you're coming back in.

JAMES: And five.

NS: Keep going.

Any more?

At £85.

NS: No, no, no!

JAMES: Your last chance.

Fair warning at £85 here.

NS: No!

SA: Aw.

Sad?

VO: Just static, I'm afraid.

And that's it.

I'm just doing the maths on this now.

VO: Leave that to me, Ryan.

I've got all the numbers.

Kimberly started with £400, but, after the saleroom fees are accounted for, she took quite a hit.

She ends the trip on £255.40.

But Ryan, who began with the same amount, lost a whole lot less.

After auction costs, he winds up with £371.20.

So he claims victory and all the bragging rights that go with it.

RT: I told you that I would win.

KW: No way!

RT: (CHUCKLES) Yeah, baby!

I'm supposed to be the antique champion right now.

I know!

You said, "Come on, let's do this show, "I know my antiques."

And the underdog wins it.

Hooray!

KW: Oh.

RT: (CHUCKLES) VO: Aunty Carol is gonna be so proud!
