Voiceover (VO): It's the nation's favorite antiques experts...

I don't know what to do.

(HORN) VO: ..with £200 each, a classic car, and a goal - to scour Britain for antiques.

What a little diamond.

VO: The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.

Back in the game.

Charlie!

VO: There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.

Oh!

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

Oh!

VO: This is the Antiques Road Trip.

VO: Yeah.

VO: It's the final leg of this week's adventure for Natasha Raskin and Philip Serrell.

TASHA: I don't know how to tell you this but I'm in love with you.

You don't seem too moved.

You seem quite throwaway, casual about it.

Well you know, it happens all the time.

VO: You big fibber!

As we all know antiques expert Philip is a road tripping veteran, who loves to lead the way.

I am of course the captain of this ship.

Shortest way up, longest way down.

No no.

Longest way up, shortest way down.

VO: Lordy.

Smiley auctioneer Natasha is still learning all the Road Trip rules.

Away from the pots, away.

They're so shiny.

VO: Our pair have been cruising across the country in this lovely 1957 Porsche Coupe.

And their competitive spirit is alive and well.

Oh, I've got a sneaking suspicion that Serrell might just sneak another road trip under his belt.

No, because there's every likelihood with me I'll go and do something stupid, like buy a sheep.

VO: I say!

It's been a bumpy ride for Natasha.

After starting this trip with £200, a few losses along the way now has her total sitting at £165.64.

VO: Philip's fairing much better.

After starting with the same £200 stake he's now in the lead with a fabulous £325.40 to spend on this last leg.

Cheer up.

I'm really, really sad because we are just heading towards our last auction.

Isn't that sad?

It's a little bit sad isn't it?

It's a bit weird as well because I've got used to it now.

VO: Well, we better make this a good one then.

Our two experts started out in Narberth in Pembrokeshire.

From there they've traveled several hundred miles, covering Wales and southern England, and will end their trip today in Salisbury, Wiltshire.

Before their final auction, they're kicking off this last leg in Eversley, Hampshire.

TASHA: (LAUGHS) Are you OK there?

PHIL: Good thank you.

VO: First stop today is Eversley Barn Antiques.

TASHA: Hello.

Hi there, you must be Hilary?

I'm Tasha, lovely to meet you.

Hi, Philip, how are you?

Nice to meet you.

You have got a veritable barn full of stuff here.

It is rather full.

It's beautifully appointed as well.

The thing is, everyone is looking for something different so you have to have... PHIL: We've all got different eyes haven't we?

PHIL: Which way are you gonna take yours?

I don't know.

That way?

You going to go upstairs or?

I might just sneak outside.

OK, I'll stay in.

I'll leave you to it.

You've obviously spotted something.

VO: While Phil hijacks Hilary, Natasha heads upstairs.

Oh.

This looks good up here.

Yes, in the attic.

A bit more my cup of tea.

Tile top coffee tables, modern, yes, I'm into this.

TASHA: Oh, I actually thought I liked it up here because it was modern but I love this cellaret.

It's totally cool because in the very beginning of the 20th century when this would have been produced, I reckon, this is taking the wine from the cellar and then bringing it to the dining room but keeping it cool in a cellaret.

So a mini wine cellar.

VO: This looks more like a plant pot holder... ...or jardiniere to me.

Nice thing though.

TASHA: It's not perfect, it's a little bit worn but it's gotta be late 19th century/early 20th century so we'd expect that.

TASHA: This is £88 and as I'm saying that I've actually just clocked the fact, it's got blinking woodworm in it.

Aw, how did I not notice that?

So woodworm aside I only want to spend £35 or £40 on it which is a bit cheeky, but it's what I want to spend.

TASHA: I want to make a profit at the end.

VO: As does Phil.

Spotted anything yet?

PHIL: That little rocker's sweet... HILARY: It is, isn't it?

Good condition too.

So this is what, 1950s is it?

Yes, I think so.

And it's got this little piggy and the bunny rabbit.

PHIL: That's quite sweet isn't it?

You've got 30 on it.

What could you do that for Hilary?

I'm selling that for a friend so probably about 24?

Would £20 buy it?

I knew you were gonna say that.

HILARY: Yes, £20.

Yes Hilary, I think that's lovely.

I'm gonna buy that off you.

Oh lovely.

I'm gonna buy that.

Thank you very much indeed.

PHIL: Thank you.

VO: So, that's the first lot bought on this final leg.

Hopefully Natasha is faring well back inside.

I love revolving bookcases and this looks like a really nice one.

TASHA: I'm hoping that underneath this jug... yes, there is, a really nice sort of Edwardian inlaid cartouche.

TASHA: A little bit of marquetry which is always good but what's really nice about is that you've got books all the way around and it revolves, so let's check out... Oh.

TASHA: It's a little bit stiff actually, it's not quite got that slick...no.

TASHA: It's actually a bookcase that's sort of a tale of two stories really.

You've got the early 20th century up here with the lovely Edwardian motifs then you've got late 20th century down here... with dodgy plastic castors that everyone is trying to forget.

TASHA: So, let's have a look at the price because that's probably reflected here.

Revolving bookcase 55 quid.

So it's not quite a revolving bookcase, it's a bookcase that revolves, if you know what I mean.

VO: I think so.

Another possibility.

Downstairs, Phil's found a lovely set of boat steps.

Ticket price £165.

PHIL: I think they are fun things.

There will be one or two uses.

They are either the sort of thing that someone is gonna hang in a seaside cottage or they're the type of thing that someone might have in a library or, for me, they are the type of thing that you actually, and I'll just work this out... Aren't those a cool set of shelves to hang up somewhere?

HILARY: Brilliant.

Yeah, they would on a wall.

PHIL: Yeah.

I think on a bad day, those are gonna make £60 or £70.

On a good day they might make 120/130.

PHIL: That's what I think.

I'd like to try and buy them for somewhere between £80 and £90 if I could.

PHIL: I really like those.

HILARY: How about £90?

PHIL: Are you sure?

HILARY: Smashing, thanks very much.

VO: A very generous £75 off the ticket price.

How's Natasha getting on?

TASHA: These are really sweet.

These are napkin rings and they are, I think, Bakelite, which is a sort of early plastic and kind of dates them to probably the 1930s or 40s.

And they are novelty, the dog lovers would like them but they are quite sweet.

They are a tenner each.

They are marked with this code, EBA, and so is the bookcase, so I don't know who the seller is but I reckon that's their initials and if they want to get rid of both these things, maybe they could do it in one fell sweep.

One fell swoop!

VO: Turns out the jardiniere is marked EBA too, they're all owned by the same dealer!

With a collective ticket price of £163, will Natasha try a cheeky offer for the three?

Bet she does.

TASHA: Altogether 75, but that's my opening gambit, Hilary, we know how it works!

We do.

Hit me with your... HILARY: I'd like 85.

TASHA: 85?

If that's possible, because we do like to make a bit, a little bit.

Can you do 85?

I definitely can, because that's still a massive chunk off.

But you're cool with that.

HILARY: Brilliant.

TASHA: I'm cool with that.

VO: A great deal for three interesting items, well done Natasha.

VO: Does anything else grab you, Phil?

PHIL: This is just an interesting tray.

It's late 19th century, it's in mahogany, but all this decoration, which is inlaid, it's inlaid into the mahogany base, is marquetry.

Now, there's two issues with this.

The first thing is condition, because we've got a bit of a crack there.

And the second thing is it's completely and utterly out of fashion.

PHIL: So a tray like this in good order, 15 years ago, would have been between £200-400.

PHIL: This is now priced up at £55.

What's it going to make at auction?

In my eyes it's going to be making £30-40, so I've got to try and buy it for around £20-25.

VO: Cor!

VO: Better get your bartering head on, old bean.

PHIL: I'm hoping I can try and buy it off you for around the £20 mark.

How does that...

It's a bit low.

A bit low.

PHIL: It's the condition, really, isn't it?

HILARY: Cuz it's priced as damaged, but...can you do 25?

Yeah, go on, you're an angel.

HILARY: Alright.

Brilliant.

PHIL: Thank you very much.

VO: So Phil's also bought three lots in the first shop.

Bold buying.

VO: After that storming start, Natasha's decided to take a break from shopping VO: ..and is headed 20 minutes south to Aldershot.

VO: She's come to the Military Museum to find out about the American cowboy, Samuel Franklin Cody, who became Britain's first aviator.

Great mustache.

She's meeting author of "The Flying Cowboy", Peter Reese, to find out more.

TASHA: Oh and there's the man himself.

PETER: There he is.

TASHA: He's looking pretty dapper, isn't he?

Some style, my goodness!

PETER: Well, he looks like Buffalo Bill because he modeled himself on Buffalo Bill.

TASHA: Ah, see when I saw the surname Cody, I thought of Buffalo Bill because that was his surname, was it not?

PETER: It was.

Cody changed his name from Cowdery to Cody.

TASHA: Ah, to be more like Buffalo Bill.

PETER: To be more, yes.

TASHA: His dates are a wee bit later than Buffalo Bill's, is that right?

PETER: They are, he's much younger than Buffalo Bill.

VO: Wannabe cowboy Cody left home at a young age, training horses and working the cattle trails across Texas.

But by the 1880s, the wild west was disappearing.

So, after Buffalo Bill started to tour Europe with a cowboy show, Cody followed with one of his own.

PETER: Cody's act of the west is Cody himself; his horse, his lasso, his gun, his pistol.

TASHA: A one man show.

One man show.

TASHA: Oh wow, a one man wild west show.

PETER: Absolutely.

VO: Cody's wild cowboy performances won him the love of the British public.

And, out of the limelight, he was becoming fascinated with aviation.

A hobby of building big kites soon developed into something much more.

And, while working with the British army, he designed the airplane that would see him fly for the first time.

PETER: This period, we are behind the Americans.

The Wright brothers have flown at the end of 1903 and the French are also getting into the air, so we are behind.

TASHA: Oh no.

And as an American, he must have been itching to get in front.

As Cody, he would!

TASHA: A-ha, not as an American but as Cody!

And on the 16th October 1908, Cody actually makes his first flight and his first flight is successful.

PETER: It's 440 yards, 27 seconds.

Ends up with a crash and he gets cuts and bruises, but he has flown.

VO: After being crowned the first man to fly a powered flight in Britain, Cody's aviation obsession grew.

The following year he became a naturalized British citizen, so he could enter flying competitions, often with cash prizes, to help fund his passion.

PETER: Before that, he was rejected because he was a foreigner.

So this cowboy is now a Brit.

He's a Brit, he's a Brit.

And he signed his papers on the town clerk's shoulders to the local band playing, you see, Cody did it very quietly, modestly.

TASHA: (LAUGHS) PETER: (LAUGHS) VO: In 1910, the final flying competition of the year was the Michelin Trophy for the longest distance round a closed circuit.

VO: On 29th December, fellow aviation pioneer Thomas Sopwith flew a seemingly unbeatable 150 miles non-stop.

Two days left in the year, so he hasn't done it.

He doesn't do it.

The odds are against him.

And the weather's bad.

But on New Year's Eve, he's up very early in the morning, he's striding his lawn in the frosty grass and he decides to have a go.

PETER: And the first three hours, you can imagine, they're monotonous.

He's frozen, but he continues in this solid progress for three hours.

TASHA: Pure adrenaline.

PETER: His intake pipes are freezing up so he's getting awful build-up of ice, but he staggers on, staggers on, staggers on and he doesn't give up until 4 hours, 40 minutes, and he has flown 185 miles.

Oh my goodness, he's really gone the extra mile.

PETER: He has.

TASHA: Oh, that's amazing!

PETER: So 35 miles more.

VO: Cody continued to win more prizes, and by 1913, he was setting his sights on the aviation challenge of the era - a non-stop flight across the Atlantic.

An extraordinary feat many thought impossible.

Sadly, Cody would never get the chance, as on the morning of 7th August, tragedy struck.

PETER: He's flying at Aldershot, he's taking up a famous cricketer, W.H.B.

Evans, and they're coming down to land, and suddenly the wings just fold up and the plane plummets to the ground, the two of them were thrown out, and Evans breaks every bone in his body.

PETER: Both are killed instantly.

And it ends as Cody would like it to end, cleanly and in the air.

VO: Cody was buried with full honors at Aldershot Military Cemetery.

Around 100,000 people paid their respects as the celebrated cowboy and amazing aviator was laid to rest.

And so the world bid farewell to one of its most colorful pioneers.

VO: Phil, meanwhile, has headed half an hour north to Reading, VO: ..hoping to uncover something special at his next shop.

He's meeting Will.

PHIL: You must be Will.

Phil, Will.

PHIL: Will, Phil.

Phil, Will.

WILL: Pleased to meet you.

How are you doing my friend?

WILL: Not too bad.

PHIL: What did this used to be then?

WILL: It used to be an old meat depot.

PHIL: My dad used to be a butcher.

And me granddad.

Well, there we are.

Many people reckon I have been in my time... You're built like a butcher, if you don't mind me saying.

VO: Like a butcher?!

More like an athlete.

And it's not long before something else catches Phil's eye.

PHIL: I love that.

Originally it would have been one of a pair, wouldn't it?

WILL: Yeah, of a gate post, I'd imagine.

PHIL: Yeah.

What's the ticket price on that one?

Well, I think the problem with that is it's been here so long that we've obviously had... ...a bit of a sort out this weekend and it's suddenly appeared.

Suddenly appeared?

Oh, I like that...

So I think we can...

If you make me a sensible price.

OK. And I mean sensible.

PHIL: The trouble with it is that a pair would be really, really saleable, wouldn't they?

But one...

But I still think it's quite fun.

PHIL: Would a £20 note buy it?

WILL: Well...

If it gets rid of it, I suppose yeah.

Go on, £20.

PHIL: Alright.

WILL: £20.

PHIL: Oh go on then.

Yeah.

VO: So that's a hefty lot bought.

Now, how about a pig's trough?

PHIL: This is cast iron, isn't it?

Yeah.

And... Pre-war.

That's got to be the 1920s, I would imagine.

WILL: Because after a while they made them galvanized.

Galvanized came in after the war.

PHIL: How much is that, Will?

WILL: Well, we did have 75 on it.

What were you thinking?

It's going to make 30 to 50 quid at auction, innit?

Well, it might make a little bit more.

I'd prefer the 50 to 80, really.

I was thinking...I've got to give you somewhere between 20 and 25 quid.

WILL: No, I'd have to have a little bit more than that.

30 quid's me best.

Dear oh dear.

You got your hand out quick earlier.

It's a round 50, isn't it, really?

Yeah.

So I owe you £50 for the two.

And do you know what, I'm going to put the two in as one lot in the auction.

VO: A great bit of bargaining secures another lot.

And so, the sun sets on a busy day for our road trippers.

And all I can say is nighty night.

VO: The next morning our dynamic duo are back on the road.

TASHA: Well, Phil, our last day of shopping.

D'you know, I do think that I've reduce you to my level.

What does that mean?

With some of the crud that I've bought.

Oh, stop it.

You don't know me very well...

I've always bought crud.

Do you remember how we started off?

Woodworm and rust.

Do you remember?

I'm not really allowed to tell you what I've bought, Phil, but I've bought something with woodworm.

Really?

That's my girl.

Just to take us back to the beginning.

PHIL: You see, the Serrell influence is there.

VO: Not always for the good.

VO: So far, Natasha has three lots.

The wooden jardiniere, a revolving bookcase and the Scottie dog napkin rings, leaving her £80.64 to spend today.

VO: Phil, meanwhile, has bagged himself four lots.

A children's rocking chair, the boat steps, a mahogany tray, and the pig trough and garden ball.

Which means he still has £140.40 to play with.

VO: First stop of the day is the small seaside town of Bognor Regis, VO: ..where Natasha's hunt for more antiques begins.

Go, girl!

Hello, good morning.

STEPHAN: Hi, good morning.

Hi, I'm Tasha.

I'm Stephan.

TASHA: Stephan.

VO: With owner Stephan's 35 years of antiques expertise, he's sure to be harboring some hidden gems.

How cute is your Wemyss pig at the front.

STEPHAN: Right, I don't think it is Wemyss though.

Oh, really?

I think it's another make.

OK.

So in the style of?

In the style of.

That could be quite nice.

Can we have a look?

VO: Wemyss Ware is probably the most collectable and sought after Scottish pottery.

Ah.

A cane!

Let's have a look.

Oh, hook the pig.

Hook out the pig.

VO: This piggy, however, is a piece of Plichta pottery, which, though generally inferior in quality to Wemyss, is still popular.

TASHA: It's super cute.

Look at him face on, he's got a bit of a wonky face, doesn't he?

He doesn't have quite the fine execution of Wemyss, does he?

No, he doesn't.

But he does have the look.

It's hand-painted, is it not?

STEPHAN: It is hand-painted and no damage.

Oh, Stephan, I think there is a wee bit of damage.

I think there is a wee bit of a curly tail option.

STEPHAN: Oh, there is?

TASHA: Yeah.

And I'm the one wearing glasses!

I'm just keeping my eyes peeled.

TASHA: So she's really sweet because the little holes in her snout are mimicked all the way across her body, her ears, all over the place.

Maybe it's for hat pins?

Yes, hat pins.

Oh, cuz it's quite big, maybe it is for hat pins.

Oh, I love this.

The more I hold it and learn about it, the more I love it.

TASHA: Now, I've touched it, which means apparently I've got to buy it, but... We were asking £15, but you've pointed out the damage on the tail.

So now it's a crisp £10 note.

TASHA: A £10 note.

What do you reckon?

I think I can deal with this little piggy for a tenner.

Should we go for it?

I think you ought to.

Oh, Stephan, that was quick!

I wasn't expecting that, I'm glad I spotted her.

TASHA: I'm chuffed.

VO: Here's hoping this little piggy makes a profit at auction.

VO: Philip, meanwhile, is easing into the day, taking a trip to Portsmouth, ..home to one of the most famous warships in the world, HMS Victory.

Best known for her role in Britain's greatest naval success, the Battle of Trafalgar, Victory was the flagship of Admiral Nelson.

And was the vessel where he drew his last breath.

Philip's meeting curator Andrew Baines to find out more.

This room that we're in now, this is Nelson's?

ANDREW: This is Nelson's, this is the great cabin which is divided into four sections.

His steerage, his ante-room, if you like; the dining place; the day cabin where we are now, and then his bed place.

You can just feel like history coming out the walls, can't you?

Yeah, Nelson pacing back and forth here.

Oh, it's just unbelievable.

VO: In her 34 years of service, Victory fought in five naval battles.

But it was the 1805 defeat of the French and Spanish at the Battle of Trafalgar she became most famous for.

You've got the palatial surroundings that we just left, for the one person; and the other 820 are spread throughout the ship, and this is the cooking range?

For everyone on board, whether it's Nelson, an admiral, or the lowest of the ratings on board, the boy seamen, all the cooking is done here.

PHIL: But, see, that just strikes me as being a fairly strange mix, really, because we've got a timber wooden ship, and a fire in the middle of it.

Yeah.

Well, men need a hot meal, so if you look, the stove sits on tiles, and we're very careful, this is the only place you're allowed fire on board the ship, but actually on the morning of the battle, this has been dismantled, so there's no hot meal.

And the guys fight the Battle of Trafalgar on a lunch meal of raw pork and wine.

Oh, great!

ANDREW: Food is incredibly important as a part of morale, so everybody on board gets exactly the same ration.

Nelson's advantage is, as a man of some means, he is able to supplement that ration, so he will bring on board his own pantry of stores, if you like.

However, the men here can do just the same.

You eat and live as part of a mess, as four, six or eight men.

You'll pay into a kitty, and that kitty will be used to buy things like mustard and spices and indeed live animals you might choose to bring on board that are your animal that you will then slaughter and eat as you go through.

VO: To keep up with the hard, physical work on board, each crew member consumed around 5,000 calories a day, a good portion of which came from alcohol.

These chaps are getting about half a pint of rum per man per day, when we're on rum, and the proof of their rum is about double what we call strong now, so it's firewater.

VO: On 21st October 1805, Nelson led the British fleet into battle against the French and Spanish.

It was 27 vessels versus 33.

Some 1,700 British men were killed or wounded, including the great Nelson himself, who was shot on the quarter deck.

Below deck, the ship's surgeon, Mr Beatty, knew Nelson wouldn't survive.

Captain Hardy came to bid his admiral farewell.

ANDREW: He knows he's going to die.

He could really - although he was surrounded by people - be very alone.

He craves human touch, and that's why he says, "Kiss me, Hardy", and Hardy bends and kisses him on the forehead.

Stands up, then actually goes down, bends and kisses him on the cheek this time before apparently overcome with emotion, he leaves the scene.

VO: Not long afterwards, Nelson died.

PHIL: With Nelson's death, he must have been like a national hero before, and afterwards, he must have almost sort of achieved superstar status.

ANDREW: The funeral is huge.

It's the biggest state funeral ever to take place up until that time, and the funeral procession is so long that it leaves Whitehall and Nelson's body arrives at St Paul's Cathedral before the rest of the procession has finished leaving Whitehall it's that big.

VO: In 1922, HMS Victory was placed into dry dock.

Millions have since flocked to visit the oldest commissioned warship in the world, and remember one of Britain's greatest heroes, Admiral Nelson.

VO: Our pair have reunited to make their way to Birdham, VO: ..where they'll share their final shopping experience of this road trip at Whitestone Farm Antiques.

Here we are.

This is off the beaten track.

PHIL: It is indeedy-doody.

TASHA: OK. Let's do it, our last items.

PHIL: This is sad, isn't it?

TASHA: (MOANS) What?!

TASHA: Here we go, I'm ready for it, Phil, are you?

Well, my eyes are watering a bit.

Yeah, let's go.

TASHA: Come on.

Our final foray.

PHIL: Go on, darling, after you.

TASHA: Hello, you must be Jo.

JO: I am Jo.

TASHA: I'm Tasha, lovely to meet you.

PHIL: Jo, we've met before.

How are you?

JO: Philip!

Good, great to see you.

PHIL: Yeah, you too, you too.

TASHA: Oh no, a reunion!

Does that mean he's going to get a better deal than I am?

PHIL: Just old friends!

JO: Never.

You're much prettier.

PHIL: That's not hard, is it?

Be fair.

Can't argue with him, really.

VO: Packed to the rafters with goodies, so what's going to tickle Natasha's fancy in here then?

TASHA: Let's have a look.

OK, so ghouls to the front.

They're not hand-painted, right, they're transferred on.

JO: No, it's transfer but... TASHA: Is the color done by hand?

JO: Hand-painted over the top.

OK, so hand-finished, I guess we can say.

So I'm not so up on Carlton Ware, but that looks like a sort of post-1930s mark, doesn't it, it's quite crisp.

JO: This is very 1930s, but of course it could be as late as 1950.

TASHA: Oh look, 'A Dorset Litany', "From ghoulies and ghosties", AH!

"And long leggetty beasties "and things that go bump in the night - "good Lord deliver us."

Oh!

And now that's got a real nice Scottish feel to it as well.

It does!

Ghoulies and ghosties.

Oh my goodness, I've met a few of those up North, believe me!

TASHA: So it's marked at about £50, which scares me a little bit; not as much as the ghoulies and ghosties, which are terrifying.

Do you want a tempting price though?

A tempting price?

Oh, I don't know.

How tempting?

JO: 30?

30.

That's quite a chunk off.

That's a very generous offer, Jo.

Phil is just eavesdropping, he's so bad!

TASHA: What if I made you a cheeky offer - and it is really cheeky, but it is my last chance to be cheeky - of £20?

£20... TASHA: Oh, what would you do?

25 and it's yours.

25 and it's mine?

TASHA: I'm going to put it down carefully and say Jo, thank you so much, because at £25, it does have a real chance, doesn't it?

I think it's got a real good chance.

VO: Well, it won't be long before we find out.

Now, has Phil found anything?

PHIL: That could be quite interesting, couldn't it?

Actually... No, it couldn't be.

As tables go, that's not what you're looking for!

VO: No indeed!

Those leather chairs look a bit more stable though.

Well, when you're looking at a chair, you just need to make sure that there's no breaks.

People lean back on chairs, particularly people of my size lean back on chairs, and if you lean back on a chair, it breaks there, so whenever you look at a chair, you want to make sure that there's no breaks just there, cuz that is just not a good thing.

I quite like these.

VO: The pair have a ticket price of £110, but generous Jo has indicated he'd be willing to drop to 60.

Wow.

PHIL: I know that you've set these at 60, and at 60, that is too much for me.

Can you come down any more at all?

Because I don't...

I want to try and buy something off you, and I really really like these.

I've also got another question to ask you - if I buy them, have you got any polish, JO: (LAUGHS) PHIL: cuz I just want to try... As long as you don't want me to do it!

No, I'll do it, I'll do it.

But at auction, I see these; what do you think these would make at auction, honestly?

40 to 60.

PHIL: OK. JO: Easily 40 to 60.

Can you do them for 40?

And a bit of polish, and I'll shake your hand.

How about 50 and a bit of polish, and I'll even help you if... No, no, no, I'll do it on me own.

45 and I'll do it meself.

Go on, then.

You're a gentleman, Jo, thank you very much indeed.

VO: Another lot bought.

And Phil's putting in a bit of elbow grease to prepare them for the auction.

PHIL: The thing is, you've got to remember that leather, a bit like me really, it needs feeding.

VO: Thanks for the insight, Phil!

VO: With that last buy, it means our... ...road trippers are all bought up.

Natasha spent £120 on five lots; the wooden cellaret, a revolving bookcase, the Scottie dog napkin rings, a piggy hat pin holder and the ghoulish Carlton mug.

VO: Phil spent £230, buying the children's rocking chair, the boat steps, a mahogany tray, the pig trough and garden ball, and the pair of newly buffed up leather chairs.

VO: What do they make of each other's lots?

I'm going to bow to Tasha's knowledge with that Carlton Ware mug.

PHIL: I mean, I think it's a cool thing, but at £25, you know, it might be a problem.

But if it's rare, it should just see it through.

On the very last leg, Phil had to buy something salvage, he had to do it, and he's come away with a huge, spherical gate finial and a pig's trough.

My pig item is a little ceramic dainty thing; his is a pig's trough.

It just explains the difference between Phil and I, and why opposites attract.

VO: After starting this leg in Eversley, they're now hurtling towards their final destination, Salisbury.

TASHA: You are such a fake grump.

You're the fakest grump I've ever met in my entire life.

No, I like being miserable.

TASHA: You're just like, "oh, I'm Philip Serrell, I'm so grumpy.

"I'm in Malvern and come and sell your Worcester with me "because I'm a grumpy man."

No you are not.

You're the nicest guy.

Get out of here.

Let's woefully move on.

TASHA: (LAUGHS) PHIL: I think, infectious, bubbly Natasha, that's what I'm going to miss.

I'm not infectious.

TASHA: That sounds awful.

I sound contagious.

PHIL: You are contagious.

Because you've actually made me smile.

VO: On that bombshell, it's auction time!

VO: The final sale is taking place at Netherhampton Saleroom.

Presiding over today's events is Richard Petty.

What does he make of our expert's lots?

Revolving bookcase, an interesting 1970s upgrade with the casters on the bottom which may put some people off.

£80 to £100 perhaps but it needs a bit of work.

RICHARD: I would buy the pig trough because I think it's an interesting piece.

It would look absolutely fabulous in my garden full of plants.

Sadly I have no pigs.

VO: Some good buys on both sides then.

Right, on with the auction.

TASHA: Ah Philip, here we go.

VO: Here we go indeed.

First up, Phil's mahogany tray.

RICHARD: I will start the bidding at £10.

£10, £10, £10, £12, 15, 18, 20, 22.

25 for me.

25 my bid, 28.

I have got 30.

32, 35, 38, 40 for me, 45 and I'm out.

£45.

RICHARD: 45.

Anybody else?

Being sold this time at £45.

Oh Phil, that's excellent.

VO: First lot and he's pulled in a profit, well done Philip.

That's a good start.

It's...yeah.

VO: Can Natasha's ghoulish mug keep up the profits?

At £12.

15, 18, 20, 22, 25, I am out.

£30.

£30, 32, 32, 35, 35.

Oh, keen crowd.

38, £40, 42, 42, 45.

Gentleman's bid then at 45.

48, 48 on my left 48.

Anybody else like to join in?

48.

Being sold this time then at £48.

VO: By Jove that's some profit on the mug.

Nicely done Natasha.

VO: But will her Bakelite Scottie dog napkin holders prove as popular?

Maybe they will fly and do really well.

Who has got 10?

Thank you.

£10, £10, £10, £10, £10, £10.

I want them!

I want them!

15, 18, £20, £20, at £20.

Gentleman at £20?

£20, £20, anyone else want, 20.

I don't see it.

Being sold this time at £20.

Oh!

Yes!

VO: The Scottie doggies have done our Scottish lass proud.

That's good, that's good, that's good.

TASHA: Double the money.

PHIL: Yeah.

VO: Right Phil, the battle is well and truly on.

Up next is your set of boat steps.

I have got three lots on the steps.

Start the bidding at £40.

£40 I've got.

£40, £40, £40, £40, £40, £40, 40, 45, I've got 50, 55, I've got 60, one for you?

I've got 65, I've got 70.

PHIL: That's a result as far as I'm concerned, it really is.

Someone's gonna come in, someone's gonna come in.

£70, your last chance being sold this time at £70.

Oh Phil, that was close.

VO: Ah, a bit of a loss there.

Someone in Salisbury got a great deal.

VO: Natasha's still in pole position at this auction.

Can she edge further ahead with the piggy hatpin holder?

£7 I have, £10, £10, £12.

That's because they're... Oh, get in!

15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, I am out.

£30.

32.

I'm in trouble here.

RICHARD: 35, 38.

PHIL: I'm in trouble.

£40, 42.

I really am in trouble here.

45, 48, £50.

£50.

Lady's bid in at £50.

Anybody else at 50?

Your last chance.

Being sold this time then at £50.

There may be trouble ahead... VO: You could well be right Phil.

Fantastic return on that little piggy.

VO: The bookcase is up next.

It's nice.

I like it.

And the people round here, forward planning - bonfire night is not that far away... Unbelievable.

100, 70 or 80, 50 it can be sold.

Who's got 50?

Yes!

PHIL: I cannot believe that.

RICHARD: £50, £50, £50, 50, join me when you are ready but be very very quick, 55.

55.

That chap thought he said 15!

RICHARD: £70, 75, £80, 85, 85.

Are you OK?

RICHARD: 85.

Don't think tomorrow, tomorrow will be too late, 85.

85, anybody else, being sold this time at £85.

VO: Fantastic, now that's a profit.

That is a top job isn't it?

I'm so glad that someone else saw what I saw in it, Phil.

Someone else had the vision that you just simply lacked.

Well, yeah.

I'm gonna go and get all the books out and start again I think.

Well done you.

Well done you.

VO: Right Phil, if you've any chance of winning this leg, you need to make a profit with your pig trough and garden ball.

Would it have been useful if you'd have had two gate finials do you reckon?

I would never have bought them, they'd have been a couple of hundred pounds.

Too logical.

What the hell do you want with one finial?

Who's ever gonna buy one finial.

Except me.

Is there a sort of a guy with half a house or?

The instructions I have been giving RICHARD: I need to start the bidding at £35.

35 I've got, 35, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 with me.

65, the bid is with me, 65.

How is the phone looking Jen?

65, he's gone home!

Think he's got the speaking clock, I think he's gone home.

Is he packing yet?

He's gone out!

Oh no, he's gone out to the shops.

He shakes his head.

At 65, 70, 75, 80, oh I'm out.

80 in the seats then.

£80, 80, last chance.

£80, 80.

Anyone else?

Being sold this time at £80.

Phil.

That was good that.

That is so good.

£80.

VO: Phil's random garden lot has put him back in the game, great stuff.

This is getting exciting.

It is, isn't it?

VO: Edge of your seat stuff here.

Can Phil bag another profit with his pair of buffed-up leather chairs?

Who has got £20?

Anybody?

Has anyone got 20?

How many?

10?

Thank you, £10 I have.

£10, £10, £12, 15, 18, £20, 22, 25.

25.

£30.

£30 I have.

Phil, it is getting there.

RICHARD: 32.

35, 38.

TASHA: Slowly but surely.

PHIL: Like pulling teeth.

RICHARD: 42, 42?

What a shame.

42, anybody else at 42?

TASHA: One more.

One more.

Help this man break even.

At £42.

I'm so disappointed with that.

After all that effort I put into polishing the wretched things.

VO: Ah, hard luck.

But it's only a little loss so your elbow grease wasn't an entire waste of time.

VO: Now for Natasha's final lot.

The romance of a cellaret.

It's gonna set this saleroom on fire.

At £30 I've got.

£30, £30, £30, £30, 32, 35, 38, £40, £40, £40.

No, no, no, no.

Any advance on £40?

TASHA: I need one more.

No, no, no don't.

Drop the hammer.

PHIL: Drop the hammer.

Drop the hammer.

RICHARD: £40.

TASHA: Oh no!

VO: A small loss there, but Natasha's still in the lead.

There doesn't seem any justice really that that was probably worth a bit more than that wasn't it?

It was worth more but I have to take the rough with the smooth because so many things today have made money that I did not expect to make money.

VO: Yeah, talking of making money, to win this auction Phil will need a romping result on the rocking chair.

10 for you sir, £10.

It's started.

15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28.

28, 28, £30.

£30 fresh bid has it at £30.

£30.

£30.

32, 32, anybody else at 32 your last chance at this lot.

£32.

Anyone else?

Being sold then at £32.

Raaarrrr!

VO: So there we have it, this week long road trip ends on a profit, marvelous.

What a brilliant week we've had haven't we?

It's been so good.

It's been so good.

Shall we go outside and have a little cry?

Who is driving?

The winner.

The winner drives us off.

Come on Philip.

VO: Well, we better find out who that winner is then!

VO: Natasha began with £165.64.

And, after paying auction costs, she's made a pretty profit, of £79.26.

Making her today's winner with a final total of £244.90.

VO: Phil started with £325.40.

After paying auction costs, he's suffered a little loss of £9.42.

This means he may have lost this leg, but he's won the trip, with a fabulous final tally of £315.98.

Well done, old bean.

VO: All profits go to Children in Need.

Oh Phil, well done.

Well, yeah, but you won the evening.

It doesn't matter, the winner overall drives away.

Oh come on then.

I've just got to sit here and cry in the passenger seat.

Ha-ha.

No tears.

No tears.

It's too good.

It's too good.

VO: What a week it's been for a perfect new partnership.

There have been highs.... TASHA: This is a bit exciting.

PHIL: You and I could be Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis.

VO: And lows...

I find your constant smiling, cheerfulness and happiness, absolutely wears me out.

Oh Phil.

Oh that's really horrific.

VO: There's been a little bit of love...

I cannot think of a better way to spend a day, than driving in a gorgeous Porsche with a handsome man like you.

What a girl, what a girl!

VO: And a whole lot of laughter.

VO: Next time on Antiques Road Trip, it's fun and games when old favorites... THOMAS: You're a lot older than me.

VO: ..Mark Stacey... MARK: I hope I haven't shot myself.

..and Thomas Plant...

This looks like a female bottom.

VO: ..hit the road.
