NARRATOR: The nation's favorite celebrities.

Ooh, I like that.

NARRATOR: Paired up with an expert.

Oh, we've had some fun haven't we?

NARRATOR: And a classic car.

It feels as if it could go quite fast.

NARRATOR: Their mission?

To scour Britain for antiques.

[ACCORDION SQUEALS] Yes!

Fantastic.

Now do that in slow-mo.

NARRATOR: The aim?

To make the biggest profit at auction.

Come on, boys.

NARRATOR: But it's no easy ride.

Ta-dah!

NARRATOR: Who will find a hidden gem?

Don't sell me!

NARRATOR: Who will take the biggest risks?

Go away, darling.

NARRATOR: Will anybody follow expert advice?

I'm trying to spend money here.

NARRATOR: There will be worthy winners.

Yes!

NARRATOR: And valiant losers.

Put your pedal to the metal.

This is the "Celebrity Antiques Road Trip."

Yeah.

On today's show we're joined by a pair of legendary children's television presenters and old "Blue Peter" pals, Peter Duncan and Sarah Greene.

Oh!

[GIGGLES] NARRATOR: Actress and presenter, Sarah, became a familiar face on our TV screens back in the 80s when she paired up with Peter to host "Blue Peter."

She went on to front a number of other hit children's TV shows.

It's going right back.

Going right back.

I sort of got into it by accident because of having been in a drama, and you, you were meant to have been in it before anyway, weren't you?

Yeah, I was going to do it before, because Biddy Baxter wanted me to take over from John Noakes, and being an actor I thought, no, that's the end of acting.

And then she phoned me again and said do you want to do "Blue Peter" now?

I switched on the telly that day.

I was just about to go on holiday and there you were doing your first ever program, and I saw you and Simon.

I thought, God we could-- what a fool I would've been not to do this.

NARRATOR: Fellow actor and presenter, Peter, was best known as the daredevil and action man of "Blue Peter" in the 80s.

Theatrical memorabilia is a thing I have a bit of a weakness for, so see an old poster, or like, you know, something that an old-- Grimaldi's funny trousers or something.

Something like that would be fantastic.

NARRATOR: This morning our celebs are starting their journey in this 1965 Jaguar E-type Coupe, up late.

How's it feeling?

The car.

Oh, well it's a thrill beyond the thrill, isn't it?

You're loving it?

Yeah.

It's that sort of large, frontage to the car that makes you feel very much a man, you know?

[LAUGHS] NARRATOR: Oh gosh.

On this trip Sarah and Peter will be joined by auctioneers extraordinaire, Natasha Raskin and Catherine Southon, who are slipping along in this beautiful blue 1959 Porsche 356.

I don't know if you knew we were getting a blue car, because we both dressed to match.

We did, we matched the car.

But it's so exciting seeing as it's blue, talking of blue, "Blue Peter."

Oh yes!

Exciting to have Sarah Greene and Peter Duncan.

Oh my goodness.

Sarah Greene, Peter Duncan, were my heroes.

Really?

Of the '80s.

I was glued to "Blue Peter."

I wanted to be, in particular, Sarah Greene.

So Sarah was your sort of style icon and you wanted to be her?

You've got to shop with Sarah then.

Oh.

Oh.

It has to be that way.

NARRATOR: Once paired up our teams will hit the road with 400 pounds in their pockets.

Starting in Guildford they'll embark on a buying bonanza around Surrey, Hertfordshire, and Northwest London before making their way to Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire for auction.

You are kidding me.

Look at this car.

Look, I can-- [LAUGHS] Hello!

Lovely to meet you.

Nice to see you.

Thank you.

Good morning, Sarah.

Hello.

Nice to see you.

How are you?

I'm very well.

Catherine said to me in the car as we were driving along that you were her style icon when you were on "Blue Peter."

Oh no, no pressure.

You're mine, Catherine.

- Oh, thank you.

You're mine.

And she told me that Peter was as mad as a clown, so we went together really nicely.

So I think I'm going to just shuffle over beside you, Peter, because apparently we're a couple of clowns.

Yeah, that's good.

As mad as a box of fish.

You've got some of your clown trousers on.

Listen, you guys have-- Porsche 356, I can't believe it!

I'm so excited!

- Let's get in it.

Let's get in it.

We'll see you later.

Have fun!

Oh, it's quite low.

Seat belts then.

Seat belts.

You just turn that?

No no, it's your buttons.

Buttons.

I've never seen that before.

Oh!

Peter, when I was in school I was busy trying to get the boys attention and they were giving me none because they were too busy watching "Flash."

Oh, "Flash."

I was only on screen 28 seconds, it was a very short short cameo, but-- Have you sat there with a stopwatch?

But it lingers.

No, I counted it.

Yes.

"Blue Peter," it was a massive, massive flick, "Blue Peter."

I only did it for three-- I mean I know when you're little three years is a long time, and actually for me it was an amazing experience.

But what you were fantastic at was making things.

There was a TV program once, "Willo the Wisp" or something?

Yes.

Kenneth Williams.

Yes.

Yes.

And you made the Evil Edna.

The great Kenneth Williams came into the studio and was on the program with me.

And that was a big thrill, a big thrill.

That was another thing.

I mean, you met so many amazing people and that's why, Sarah Greene, I wanted to be you in the 80s.

Oh, Catherine.

NARRATOR: Bless.

You're well known as an actor.

You've been known as a daredevil.

You're you're not afraid.

How do you reckon you're going to handle the full throttle activity of haggling with an antiques dealer?

Well, I used to I used to travel.

I used to make these docs, take my kids around the world, and we obviously, one of the features like this TV program, I mean you go into filming it, you know?

And you go into a market, and I found the best technique was to send the kids in.

So I'd send the seven-year-old son in to do the haggling, and of course that would have a wonderful effect, because he charmed them.

Absolutely.

We can't do that today.

NARRATOR: Afraid not.

This morning Peter and Natasha have pootled five minutes along the road to their first shop in Compton.

They've arrived at Old Barn Antiques where they're hoping dealer Chloe will have something special.

Lady of the house, wipe that.

Hello.

Wipe that dust off, we might buy it.

[LAUGHS] Hello, how are you?

I'm Peter.

Hello.

Hello.

Nice to see you.

How are you?

I'm all right, thank you.

You're well.

Are you excited to welcome us to your wonderful shop?

Well, I don't know whether excited is the word, but it's different.

What about a huge discount for a ride in my E-type Jag?

I think I'll stick to my Land Rover if you don't mind.

NARRATOR: Doesn't look like charm will win you a discount here, Peter.

Although compact and bijou the shop is jam packed with the combined treasures of six dealers.

- It's interesting isn't it?

- Oh no!

Oh gosh.

See that?

It's a slippery egg holder.

Juggling.

It's super sweet.

Happy birthday it says all over it.

CHLOE: Oh no!

NARRATOR: Whoops.

I hope you're haggling is better than your juggling.

I mean, that's quite cool, what you've just picked up there.

Horn letter opener.

What an unusual handle, like a spiraling, spiraling shell.

Like a Peter Pan-ish almost, isn't it?

It is really cool.

I like that, but I have no idea that anybody would want to buy that.

I mean, it's a bit of a punt isn't it?

It's not sharp.

It's safe, child friendly.

It's a really pretty thing.

I like that, but it's all about whether or not you like it.

I think it could have a chance (WHISPERING) if we got it for a tenner.

NARRATOR: The vendor has priced the unusual horn letter opener at 16 pounds.

Time now for Peter to attempt his first haggle.

Look out, Chloe.

What she put on there, 16?

16.

And it does say trade one.

What does that mean?

You can only take one off.

1 pound?

Yes, to make it 15.

There's two of us.

That's trade two, at least.

But, see we could make it 15, so how about 12?

12.

What about sticks 11?

Go on then.

11.

Thank you very much.

Glad you found something anyway.

NARRATOR: That's Peter out of his shopping starter blocks, spending 11 pounds on his first lot for auction.

Good man.

Bye.

NARRATOR: Meanwhile Sarah and Catherine have headed to Runfold, near Farnham in Surrey to begin their shopping.

They've arrived at the Antiques Warehouse.

We must remember, though, that we're not buying for ourselves, sadly.

I know, and and will you do me a favor, Catherine?

Will you keep reminding me of that?

Because I will forget.

- I will.

I will.

I'm not buying for me.

This is an Aladdin's cave, isn't it?

- There's a lot to see.

- Hello.

Hello.

How nice to see you.

Very nice to meet you.

Lovely to meet you.

Hi Sarah, hi Catherine, nice to meet you.

NARRATOR: Set in two Elizabethan barns, shopkeeper Hillary has an array of fine furniture and collectibles belonging to around 20 dealers.

This looks like the sort of kitchen area.

How does kitchen-alia do, Catherine?

Depends what it is.

Just thinking about the success and popularity of shows like "Bake Off" and this sort of Renaissance of baking, whether there's something like cake forks.

Something like that.

Do you think?

Yeah, no, I think we're on to a good thing.

If we're going to go for something like cake forks, I think maybe not silver plated ones.

We need to go for something silver.

Well, let's go and have a look.

NARRATOR: OK. Silver cake forks, where are you?

Right.

Silver, silver, silver.

I'm slightly overwhelmed.

There is so much here.

There is so much here.

That's quite sweet.

And the only reason I'm looking at that is because it's a pocket watch.

And it's heart shaped.

I have to be honest, pocket watchers in general are a bit of a no-no unless there's something quite special about them, or unless they're gold or by a particular maker.

Well, that's a fob watch.

That's the latest fob watch and form of a heart I think it's quite sweet.

Yes, and it could be worn as a pendant anyway.

It could be worn as a pendant, yeah.

NARRATOR: Looks like the girl's fallen in love with a heart shaped silver fob, which has a ticket price of 90 pounds.

Anything else you fancy, girls?

There was something quite big downstairs that I saw.

Oh, OK.

Heavy.

NARRATOR: Sounds interesting.

What are your feelings about using the chimney pots as big planters?

So just like a piece of garden statuary, really?

Yes, yes.

These, I love.

Yeah, I'm not talking about these, I'm talking about that.

Good, because these are so much more standard, and kind of almost fairly common-ish.

Yes.

But I love the shape of that one.

No, no, that's what caught my eye as we swept in, but my worry is that if I was going to get this, I'd want two.

I'm just wondering if there's another one floating around.

Hillary?

Hello.

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, we like your chimney pot.

Is it on its own?

No, I think they've been split up and I think there's another one buried over there somewhere.

Can I go and have a quick look down here?

Shall I come and help you?

HILLARY: I think it's tucked behind this this shrub here.

How does it look?

Because the key thing is really condition on these.

HILLARY: I think there might be a little chip out of one of them at the bottom somewhere.

What I love is down the bottom this sort of smokiness.

I mean this has really had a lot of wear.

Yes, yes.

It feels good, it looks good.

I mean this has got a good 100 years on it, hasn't it?

Does that classify it as an antique then?

Oh yeah.

I can actually say that that belongs in there.

Yeah, absolutely.

NARRATOR: At 85 pounds each the combined ticket price for the 19th century terracotta chimney pots would be 170 pounds.

What is your absolute very best on these if we were to buy a pair?

Let me just think, I've got to do a little calculation.

I could make them 120.

How does that sound?

120 for the pair?

For the pair.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: It's a really big discount.

It's a big discount and I'd say we're getting there, Hilary.

We're getting there.

NARRATOR: Hard-nosed negotiator Sarah isn't quite ready to seal the deal as something else has caught her eye.

A set of French art deco hors d'oeuvres servers.

SARAH GREENE: I'm thinking once upon a time they would have been in a really nice presentation set.

They probably would, yes.

Haven't got a box for them or anything, didn't come like that?

HILLARY: They didn't come with a box.

Are they actually silver, the handles?

HILLARY: Yes, a French silver so they won't have the English hallmarks on them, but they are.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: So these are probably sort of silver gilt?

HILLARY: It's silver gilt, yes.

And these are silver.

They're very light.

Mind you you wouldn't want anything heavy when you're serving something, but they are quite light.

I mean, they're quite big and butch looking, but I quite like them.

I absolutely love those.

I think they're good.

How much though?

HILLARY: I think it says 75 on the ticket.

I'd like to talk about combining.

Can I offer you for this and the chimney pot 130?

HILLARY: I could come down to 40 on those.

That's nearly half price.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: So that adds up 160 for the two.

SARAH GREENE: Can we take it to 150?

Oh dear, you do drive a hard bargain, don't you?

Well, as I've had this for an awfully long time I think I might just be prepared this once to do it.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I'm on my bended knee saying thank you.

NARRATOR: These two aren't finished yet.

They're both still keen on the silver heart shaped fob watch.

What can that be?

What's the bottom price on that?

HILLARY: Can you remember what was-- It was-- I think it was on it for 90.

I could come down to 75.

I think that's still too steep for us.

I think, to be perfectly honest, I think the only way we'd be interested in it if it's more sort of 40, 50 pounds.

If it can be around that then possibly.

It's got to be 60.

I'd hoped you'd say 55, but you know what, Hillary?

Go for it.

You've been so helpful.

60.

HILLARY: That's great.

Oh lovely, good.

That brings us to a total of-- we were at-- 150 so 210.

NARRATOR: Correct, Catherine.

The newly acquired fob watch is added to the 19th century chimney pots they bought at 120 pounds and the art deco hors d'oeuvres servers that they got for 30 pounds.

Wow.

Back with Peter and Natasha and they've made their way to Woking.

During Peter's days presenting on "Blue Peter," he was well known as a daredevil and a sportsman.

So Natasha is taking him on a trip that he's sure to enjoy at the hockey museum.

They're meeting curator Mike Smith to find out more about the history of one of the world's most popular sports.

Yes sir, the obvious question we want to know is how did it all begin?

MIKE SMITH: Hockey.

No definitive answer to that.

We know that a stick and ball game was being played by the Egyptians 2000 BC, so that's 4,000 years ago.

And all manner of communities, civilisations, played what would be a stick and ball game.

It started to evolve in the 18th century.

They were playing a primitive form of hockey in schools, and different schools formulated their own rules.

NARRATOR: The game's popularity grew through the 18th and 19th centuries, and by the late 1800s an official Hockey Association was formed.

So the hockey that we play now by the rules now, how did that spread around the world?

I think the catalyst for that was hockey getting into the Olympics in 1908.

And is it popular now?

Is it gaining popularity worldwide?

Because I know the Indians and the Pakistanis play, don't they?

Well, the Indians and the Pakistanis do play, but that's thanks to the British army that took the game out there in the latter part of the 19th century, early 20th century.

And the officers had probably played hockey at school and at University, so they took it with them and got got them in playing hockey.

So hockey became a very strong sport within the services.

NARRATOR: Once considered too dangerous a sport for females, it wasn't until the 1880s that women's hockey was introduced in British schools.

Scary.

Because I sort of remember as a kid that actually girls played hockey more than boys.

That's very much so, yes.

At the back end of the 19th century, the ladies had to fight very hard to be able to play it as their fathers and their brothers were playing the game.

Almost a suffragette type of movement, they had to sort of form their own clubs, and they didn't get a lot of help from the blokes because it wasn't seemed to be ladylike to play sport.

People were so sexist in those days.

NATASHA RASKIN: Absolutely.

And good on them for persisting.

My real connection to it is that I in the 80s I made a "Blue Peter" film, and I was dressed up as the goalie, and Sean Curley and all that team, I was just a dummy standing in goal.

And you know, they were whacking these balls as hard as they could.

And when they hit you, you know, you were doing all this, you know.

You wouldn't want to do that sort of thing because it's dangerous, really.

NARRATOR: Now that sounds like a challenge if ever I heard one.

And with Natasha being a hardy Scot, well, she's up for it.

Scary.

NATASHA RASKIN: Peter, your time has come.

I know.

I'm in goals this time.

Are you ready for a bit of competition?

I have my balls.

You've got just two there.

I'm going to give you five.

Five, OK. - Five shots at goal.

- Yeah.

Best of five.

Best of five.

Wins.

OK.

So if I get three I win, if you get three-- I lose-- two-- if three-- Yeah.

Enough about the rules.

Shall we just play?

NARRATOR: Better than doing the math.

Anyway, it's perfect hockey weather here in Woking.

Peter stepping up for the first ball.

Can he score?

PETER DUNCAN: [LAUGHS] NARRATOR: That'll be a no then.

Does that one count?

NARRATOR: I'm afraid it does, old chap.

Right.

Can he hit call two properly?

OK.

But way off the mark.

That's 2-0 to Natasha.

He shoots, he scores.

NATASHA RASKIN: Oh, nice!

Oh!

NARRATOR: Back of the net.

It all comes down to the final ball.

Go on, give it some welly!

What a save.

NATASHA RASKIN: Sorry, Duncan!

This time goalie wins.

Don't worry, you're still my teammate.

[LAUGHS] High five hockey stick.

Ow!

NARRATOR: Back with Sarah and Catherine it's more shopping that's on the agenda, so they've motored along to Ripley in Surrey.

Originally a 17th century coaching inn, J Hartley Antiques is packed with everything from period furniture, to quirky collectibles.

Look at that.

There's all sorts in here, Catherine.

I have to tell you, probably the most unusual thing in here has caught my eye.

I actually love this.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: I love it.

I love this ladder.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: I love it.

Are we allowed a ladder?

CATHERINE SOUTHON: We can have whatever you want.

SARAH GREENE: I imagine that in some way that's extremely modern and stark.

Interior or exterior in any garden.

It's kind of a bit shabby chic.

It is, but it's been done quite well I think.

I wonder where it comes from.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: I don't know.

Shall we ask?

NARRATOR: Better call dealer John over.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: John?

Hello.

We quite like your ladder.

JOHN: That actually belongs to Deirdre.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Right.

Who's Deirdre?

The lady who has this room.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Has it actually got a price on it, Sarah?

She may have it hidden under the fabric.

Let's have a look.

I can't see it under there, no.

JOHN: Has she actually got a ticket on it?

SARAH GREENE: It's free.

NARRATOR: You wish.

John's off to ask Deirdre for a price.

Deirdre?

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Why do you love that so much?

SARAH GREENE: It's about where I can see it being placed.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: The possibilities are endless for interior design, aren't they?

I mean you wouldn't use this as a ladder.

It looks very rickety.

SARAH GREENE: No, I wouldn't.

That's the one thing I wouldn't use it for.

Quite right.

NARRATOR: John's back.

What's the news?

Deidre says it's 80 pounds and it's a French orchard apple ladder.

Apple orchard.

I'm kind of loving it more now.

SARAH GREENE: Really?

So if it came from an abattoir in Swindon, you would have not wanted it.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: [LAUGHS] No, I wouldn't have liked it then.

SARAH GREENE: OK. Shall we have a little look around?

I'm all about that.

Yes.

NARRATOR: Doesn't take Sarah long to spy another unusual item.

Look at those.

[GIGGLES] CATHERINE SOUTHON: They've got a bit of age to them.

But I would have those, just again, a little bit like a ladder thing downstairs, you know.

Just on a wall somewhere.

I mean, just to be funny, because they are quite funny.

They're quite comical in a sort of way.

I don't want poles.

I don't care about poles.

- No, no, no, no me either.

You just want the skis.

SARAH GREENE: Yeah.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: 55 pounds sum them.

Actually they look in pretty-- I mean they're rusty in that they've been here ages.

But-- SARAH GREENE: Oh look, oh look.

This isn't coming-- CATHERINE SOUTHON: But we're not buying them to use, are we?

Oh, no, no, I'm just thinking about, I'm just thinking about the negotiation, that's all.

If we got those for 25.

Yeah.

SARAH GREENE: I think I might go for the ladder.

Do you?

NARRATOR: Crafty.

Best talk to John.

John!

SARAH GREENE: Your skis.

JOHN: They were my father's.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Oh.

And he skied on those, and I learned to ski on them, so because of sentimental I don't really want to slash them out.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Well, we have a proposition.

We have, but of course when we thought about this figure, we had no idea about the back story.

25.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Without the poles.

We didn't need the poles.

Oh boy.

I should have been sitting down.

Knowing dad, he would have knocked them down for about 40 pounds.

Can we meet somewhere?

Can we meet in the middle?

35?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

JOHN: Right.

Absolutely.

JOHN: Deal done.

NARRATOR: A generous price gets the girls the vintage 1950s skis for 35 pounds.

Sarah's still after the French apple orchard ladder so she's asked John to see if Deirdre would accept 50 pounds.

I'm afraid the absolute best on that is 58 pounds.

SARAH GREENE: 58, OK. Hello, Catherine.

You're going to have to-- You, you are the auctioneer.

Please don't make me make that decision.

You know.

Let's make a decision.

Let's make it together.

Do we want it?

NARRATOR: Well, do you?

I say yes.

Yes.

Yes.

[LAUGHS] Oh no, what have we done?

We're buying a ladder for 58 pounds.

Are we going to do it?

Yes!

NARRATOR: They got there eventually.

So they bought the French Orchard ladder for 58 pounds, and the vintage skis for 35.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: I really thought we were going to buy jewelry today.

I had it in my mind.

We were going to buy gems.

SARAH GREENE: Bye!

Thank you we couldn't have gone further away.

NARRATOR: I'll say.

And after that peculiar spot of shopping, both team's first day is done, so nighty night.

Sleep well.

It's the next morning and Sarah and Peter are together again.

Awe.

PETER DUNCAN: It's a quite tight road, have you noticed I'm in a tree bunk?

SARAH GREENE: Yeah.

You are very, very, very skilled at navigating these nadgery lanes.

Nadgery is an official word meaning very narrow and winding.

NARRATOR: Catherine and Natasha are also back on the road, making their way to Shendish in Hertfordshire to meet their celebrity partners.

Yesterday was wild.

I think we went across every single genre possible, and we bought the craziest things you can imagine.

Give me a clue.

What kind of genre?

[LAUGHS] Sporting.

OK. Um, and then we did go a bit traditional, and then we went a bit-- we went a bit wild, too.

OK.

This could mean anything, Catherine.

These are not clues.

NARRATOR: Peter and Natasha have only bought one item so far, the unusual horn letter opener, which means they're still loaded with 389 pounds to spend today.

While the girls have had a much more successful shopping spree buying an impressive 5 lots.

Vintage 1950s skis, the French apple orchard ladder, the rare, silver heart shaped fob watch, the pair of 19th century terracotta chimney pots, and the French art deco hors d'oeuvres servers, leaving them with just 97 pounds to play with.

PETER DUNCAN: How many of your things have you gotten?

SARAH GREENE: Shall I tell you how many I've got?

Am I allowed to tell you?

I've got 5 things.

See, I don't hang about, Peter.

I don't hang about, but the other thing is we have got some money left over so we might add-- PETER DUNCAN: Well, can I have the left over then?

No.

NARRATOR: Harsh, but you've got plenty of your own cash, Peter.

Stop!

Good morning!

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Hello!

PETER DUNCAN: Howdy, howdy.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Good morning.

SARAH GREENE: Good morning, sweetheart.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Excited?

SARAH GREENE: Yeah, absolutely raring to go.

I've arranged this for us, this weather.

Thank you.

Yes.

SARAH GREENE: Are you happy about that?

- Good morning.

- Hello.

PETER DUNCAN: You all right?

NATASHA RASKIN: Well, wish us luck, ladies, because we need it more than you do.

Be positive.

Be positive.

Positive thinking, positive thinking.

You always start out so sweet and nice, and then there's this undercurrent of competition.

- Oh - Surfaces.

What?

Never.

No.

Peter is really the competitive one, not me.

NARRATOR: This morning our two teams will recommence their road trip in the historic town of Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire.

I want a bit of shopping today.

We have a job on here.

I mean, clearly the opposition have streaked ahead of us.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: They're getting worried.

I think they are getting worried.

I think Natasha is getting slightly worried, because they only bought one item.

NATASHA RASKIN: We need to be calm and cool and focused.

You need to make me happy, Natasha.

I'll try.

And we need to spend some money, 11 quid.

How much did we spend?

11 pounds, of 400.

They got lots of things to buy today.

NARRATOR: Better get on with it then.

Both teams have arrived in Berkhamsted, where they'll begin their day at Heritage Antiques.

Oh look, they're coming.

Got to have a game plan.

Look, look at that sort of striding walkway.

You know what you need?

You need a hat.

NATASHA RASKIN: [LAUGHS] We just walked so casually, the sass coming off of you two.

See, you've got five, I've got one, I'm going in.

Are you?

Are you?

PETER DUNCAN: Oh, I'm Sorry.

Are you sure?

I found a "Blue Peter" book that you're in.

You look much younger.

We're not like that.

After you.

- I know.

After you.

Thank you, Catherine.

Thank you.

We didn't care about you then.

NARRATOR: Now, now, Peter.

Crammed with antiques from 31 dealers there's plenty to go around, and straight away Peter's clocked something he likes.

PETER DUNCAN: Just saw it as I came in, because I bought one of these in France when I was-- What have you got?

Oh, the burner.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Look, so it's it's a wood burner, but this is art deco it says.

So you put all your wood in there.

That's right.

I've got one exactly, only a French version of this at home.

I think it's beautiful.

- You think it's beautiful?

- It's 125.

You know what I have to tell you?

I really like that.

I think it's super cool.

You're just saying that.

No, I have recently become quite obsessed with wood burners, obviously the very modern style, but these ceramic pieces, they just the evoke a nice era, don't they?

That must be what?

30s then.

Yeah, well, I believe so.

NARRATOR: Uh-huh but the ticket price of 125 pounds, it's down to Peter to do the deal.

So Pauline's got the owner on the phone.

Well done, Pauline.

Peter, I've got Tony on the phone.

Oh, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

Hi, Tony.

I've just seen your beautiful art deco log burner, but what price could I have it for?

100?

So that's only 25 off.

Can we-- what about 85?

Can't do 85?

Can we somewhere in between?

95.

95?

95 going once, going twice, Tony it's done.

95.

NARRATOR: Blimey, Natasha's in shock.

Peter's gone and bought the early 20th century wood burner for 95 pounds.

Now, where are the girls?

SARAH GREENE: They've got so much outside we can look at today.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Oh, this is lovely.

This is perfect.

This is just for us today, and I feel very relaxed.

I feel like we should just pull up a chair, and sit all day, and just at them.

NARRATOR: While the girls are busy being smug Peter's got his shopping head firmly on.

Right, what have you got in there?

I didn't even know all this stuff was outside.

I know, I know, look at this.

Look what you've got.

So I have been to Africa quite a lot, and when I was there I bought a fantastic thing that's very, very similar to this.

Sort of East African, and they're kind of I think something to do with fertility, and obviously praying to gods, but they're beautiful, aren't they?

SARAH GREENE: They're really nicely done.

PETER DUNCAN: - Feel the weight to them.

OK, give me one.

Oh, I tell you what, they are weighted beautiful.

Wood, I have to confess I don't know the wood, but it's very beautiful.

Do you know the price?

PETER DUNCAN: No, there's no price on them.

NARRATOR: Better get Pauline and her trusty phone back to call Stuart, the owner of the ticket-less fertility figures.

I've got Peter from "Blue Peter" here.

He would like to talk to you about your pair of carved bodies.

OK. [LAUGHS] Hello, mate.

Wonder really what price you could do them for?

For both?

Yeah, 30 pounds for both.

What about 25?

He's getting the hang of this.

OK. All right, 30 pounds, yeah.

15 each, yeah.

Do you know I'm enjoying myself so much that I am not in the mood for haggling anymore?

30 quid, it's a deal.

NARRATOR: And just like that Peter's bought another lot for auction.

Catherine, when you come to places like this where you've got this great big old mixture of stuff, do you ever find any proper sort of historical treasures?

Oh, yes.

Yes, we just got to look.

Got to look high and low, looking everywhere; on the floor, under things.

And I'm also looking at hats.

NARRATOR: That hat doesn't look very historic to me, Sarah.

SARAH GREENE: I don't know.

What do you think?

CATHERINE SOUTHON: It's tiny.

It is a bit small, and it's not really-- I wanted to take a peek, but I don't think that's right at all.

No.

Oh no, that's too high for you.

It's a bit too high, isn't it?

Yeah.

NARRATOR: While the girls are playing dressing up, Peter's playing puppets.

PETER DUNCAN: Oh hello, everybody!

And it says on it, look.

Look, it says vintage Pinocchio.

So it's a vintage, which is-- and it's beautiful.

It's 33 quid.

Could get that down a bit, but it's really old.

Is it old?

NATASHA RASKIN: It's not that old.

I'd say it's probably about 1970s.

Now what I'm worried about, not worried at all, is these two letters AF means as found, so there must be some sort of damage on it somewhere.

Just the strings?

The strings.

Is that the only bit of damage you can see?

Yeah, and I can fix that because I'm in theatre.

I think I quite like him.

Shall we go and speak to Pauline about him?

Should we take him with us?

Before we do that shall I show you what I've come up with?

Yeah, yeah.

OK, come with me, you two.

My little man with me.

NATASHA RASKIN: So, behold.

It doesn't look very impressed.

I know.

You wanted something in a pair.

Yeah, I like pair things.

NATASHA RASKIN: A pair of brass, oriental vases.

PETER DUNCAN: Oriental?

They're quite exciting.

They're trumpet shapes, but how nicely turned this trumpet shape is.

And such a good price.

Such a good price.

Now believe it or not-- Are you a double act?

These belong to Pauline.

Now they're not going to change anyone's life.

No, no, no.

But have you seen the ticket price?

10 quid, yeah.

I'm not even going to bargain with you on that.

Done.

Wow, thank you very much.

[LAUGHS] Well, I wasn't going to suggest that.

I was going to say let's get them at half price.

But you know what, Peter?

You're an honest man.

Let me show you this other thing.

OK.

I found another pair, of leaded windows.

So this here is named Transvaal, which is a colony of South Africa that was founded in 1910.

Then to go with it we also have Cape Colony, so another South African area.

Wow.

Around the Cape of Good Hope.

So they're not stained glass, they're painted glass with leaded panels, but it's certainly an attractive pair, and what I think is interesting is that these probably came from a whole set.

These are not the only two colonies in South Africa.

So I would imagine that they've come from a grand home, which had every single colony painted and their crest.

Nice sturdy oak frames, good weight.

We've got a lot of money to spend, but not as much as on the ticket.

Don't tell Pauline that.

NARRATOR: With a ticket price of 118 pounds for the pair, Peter is taking the helm again, and calling the vendor.

Stand by.

Hello?

Listen, I love your windows.

I'm just wondering what price I could have them for?

100.

Did you pay more than 80?

I see.

There's a couple of other things we're going to look at.

Nice to talk to you.

Thanks very much.

All right.

Bye bye.

Bye.

OK, so what was the best price, 100 pounds?

100 really, because she paid 94 and she's got to make a profit.

NARRATOR: While Pete is considering another purchase the girls are back out in the sun.

SARAH GREENE: Flaky chairs.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Bistro chairs.

SARAH GREENE: They're a little bit like the ladder, aren't they?

CATHERINE SOUTHON: There's a couple.

They are, they've got that same look, but shall I test?

SARAH GREENE: Yeah, have a test and see if you think would you sit on and lean back on that in comfort?

- No.

SARAH GREENE: Really?

No?

[LAUGHS] I feel very lopsided.

In that case I think you've made the decision for us.

And I'm going to get flaky paint all over the car.

NARRATOR: Having already secured five lots and nothing here tickling their antique taste buds the girls are heading off.

Peter on the other hand, still has some haggling to do.

I do want to buy Pinocchio, because I think that's-- I think it's beautiful, and it's funny, and I think maybe people would you buy it for a child, or a child, or somewhere to sit.

So let's what can we have-- what's the price?

We've got 33 on it.

Yeah.

I think 25.

25, twice my age.

Yeah.

Done.

Done.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

So 25 on the puppet, 10 on the trumpet vases, 30 on the things, 95 on the wood burner.

wait a minute, already we're at four or five items.

So what do you think about these windows?

I like the windows.

To be honest I love both your items, but I like the windows more than the the 10 pound vases.

You've dealt on the vases.

I've dealt in the vases, I've got to have the vases.

I'm sorry to tell you you've got to have the vases.

You want to go for these windows?

PETER DUNCAN: Yeah.

NATASHA RASKIN: You're sold on those, 100 pounds?

Yeah.

Do the deal.

100 pound?

Yeah.

Yeah.

How much are we up to now?

I'm not sure what I did there, but anyway it feels good.

NARRATOR: He's a buying machine, spending a whopping 260 pounds.

PETER DUNCAN: 260.

20, 40, 60, 80, 100.

20, 40, 60, 80, 100.

20, 40, 60.

NATASHA RASKIN: He's throwing it at you, Pauline, for God sake's.

- Could you check that, please?

I've got six-- Oh, come on.

That was-- She runs a tight ship.

I used to be a bank teller.

I know what I'm doing.

I've got the thumb.

You're short.

You're short 20 pounds.

Usually works.

Yeah, see?

I thought you were short.

NARRATOR: You could lose your "Blue Peter" badge for that.

Having bought all their lots for auction Sarah and Catherine are taking the afternoon off, and have journeyed 15 miles down the road to Stanmore in Northwest London.

Sarah has a passion for aviation after setting up her own aerial filming business with her late husband, Mike Smith.

So Catherine has brought her to Bentley Priory, which played a pivotal role during the Battle of Britain as fighter command HQ.

This was when one of Britain's darkest moments also became a finest hour, thanks to a man called Sir Hugh Dowding and the innovative air defense system he created.

It is sensational.

NARRATOR: The girls are meeting Bentley Priory trustee, Natasha Brown, to find out more.

NATASHA BROWN: This was fighter command in 1936.

The RAF had it from 1926 when it stopped being a school, and as notoriously happened during World War II, a lot of the mansions were taken over by the army, the RAF, to be prisoner of war camps, or intelligence centers, and this was fighter command.

Why was this fighter command?

Strategically, it's placed right in front of the London basin.

So you can see London.

SARAH GREENE: You can see the views from here.

NATASHA BROWN: Exactly.

And this man.

SARAH GREENE: I was going to say, he's looking out over us now.

NATASHA BROWN: Sir Hugh Dowding, yeah, was actually in charge at the time from 1936 to 1940, and he is pivotal in the whole of the Battle of Britain, and us was winning the war.

NARRATOR: Fought in the skies, the Battle of Britain took place during World War II between July and October 1940.

A crucial victory for this country, it made Hitler's invasion plans all but impossible.

Heavily outnumbered by the Luftwaffe which was the largest Air Force in the world at the time, Britain's success is largely credited to Sir Dowding and his air defense system.

NATASHA BROWN: So this was the nerve center.

SARAH GREENE: This is like going backstage in the theatre.

NATASHA BROWN: I know.

It's amazing, isn't it?

SARAH GREENE: Like the back of a set, all the the bits of scaffold and wood.

Well, this is actually a complete recreation of what was actually here.

So we went into the archives of the RAF to find out, and there were plans of what he did.

NARRATOR: Dowding System brought together technology, ground defenses, and fighter aircraft into a unified system of defense.

Radar gave early warning of Luftwaffe air raids, which were also tracked by the observer corps.

Information on the incoming aircraft was first filtered at Bentley Priory, then passed onto various group HQs, and sector stations, who would scramble fighters into action.

NATASHA BROWN: So the map that we have in here is from the Scottish coast all the way down and across the South coast.

So this is looking out to sea, really.

This is what's approaching us.

So what the radar were great at was distance, and what this information brought in was the number of people, and so that was the strength.

And then also the height at which they were coming in, because that was critical for us where we had such a fewer number of planes to fight these guys, we had to make sure that what we did, we did precisely, and it wasn't just where they were located, but the height at which so that we knew how high we needed to come down in order to get them.

And what's the speed involved here in terms of them getting the information, and then getting our aircraft to go and intercept it?

It was a really quick turnaround.

So we're looking at something about 4 minutes on a quick turnaround basis.

So every 30 seconds you'd get new information coming through so you could follow the path of everything coming through.

Once they knew that it was really an enemy aircraft approach, that's when the information went through from the teller up at the top, through to the special operations room.

NARRATOR: As well as processing huge amounts of information quickly, and managing the position of the fighter aircraft, the operations room also directed other elements of the defense network, including anti-aircraft guns, searchlights, and barrage balloons.

So this was the operations room.

This filled the space at two levels with balconies and a big map in the middle.

You can see that in this model, this model again is taken from the archives, so we took all the information and this is placed from photographs in the archive drawings to show with the map in the middle, that this time the map is centered on the country, and not on the sea.

So this is observer corps information also being filtered through into here, so that they can really plot and plan where the planes are going.

This is the Dowding System.

This is the culmination of working with the radar, working with observer corps, working with all of these new technologies, and this new information, to actually make sure that we didn't overuse them, but we used them strategically, and that we lost as few as naught as possible because we had this brilliant information.

After the Battle of Britain Hitler realized he couldn't win in the skies, and that was our big win.

He then couldn't invade us in the way that he had wanted to.

We have so much to be thankful for, don't we?

Mm-hmm, absolutely.

NATASHA BROWN: It's an amazing story that people need to remember.

NARRATOR: Peter and Natasha have also made their way to North West London.

They've come to Pinner for their final spot of shopping at A and C Antiques and Collectibles.

Last chance to spend some money.

Hello, hi.

CHRIS: Hi there, love.

Hi, I'm Natasha.

Oh, hello there.

I'm Chris.

Chris, this is Peter.

You all right?

Oh, is that for sale?

[LAUGHS] NARRATOR: Naughty.

Peter's keen to spend all of their remaining 129 pounds and spotted something outside that could fit the bill, a pair of birdbaths.

PETER DUNCAN: I love these.

They're definitely old, don't they really?

Well, I mean certainly the rust gives a little bit of an idea of age, but yes, these are typical Victorian I guess cast iron.

Really heavy, heavy.

Just like the back of our wood burner.

And how much do they cost?

Shall we go and ask Chris?

Do you want me to go and get her?

Oh.

Chris?

Chris, do you know the price of the birdbaths?

Yeah, they were 125 each or a couple hundred for the pair.

It's way out of our league I'm afraid.

The very, very, very best would be 150 for the pair, that would be the best.

But we don't even have-- We don't have 150.

Shall I tell you how much we have?

So I've spent 271, so I've got 129 left.

OK then, yeah, for 129.

Well, Peter, Chris has made your wish come true.

Wow.

They are very nice, they are very nice.

That's great.

They are lovely, yeah?

Well, that's a bit of a shock.

OK then, 129.

That's a very good deal.

NARRATOR: I'll say.

That generous discount bags Peter and Natasha the birdbaths for 129 pounds, which they'll add to the wood burner to create one lot for auction.

Steady on, old chap.

[STRAINING] NARRATOR: Crikey.

Shopping complete for both teams, it's time to get an eyeful of each other's lots.

NATASHA RASKIN: Bum, bum, bum!

I'll get rid of these.

You went with Pinocchio.

NATASHA RASKIN: That's exactly who it is.

PETER DUNCAN: Yes it's in need of sight repair, string wise.

What about your kind of ethnic figures?

Well, this is a good story because Peter's wife is a midwife.

Yeah.

And these are for fertility.

SARAH GREENE: They're quite impressive looking, aren't they?

NATASHA RASKIN: They're cool.

PETER DUNCAN: I think so.

Bosoms on their heads and there's a pair here, too.

There is a pair.

So you know you're holding back a bit now, aren't you?

PETER DUNCAN: Yeah.

And you notice I've bought everything in pairs except for Pinocchio, and this object over here, which is my favorite.

This is a light blue woodburner, art deco style.

Look, it comes out like that.

You put your wood in there.

Bit of methylated spirit on that, it'll sell for 200 quid.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: I love these.

Yeah, I think they're absolutely brilliant.

Did you choose them, Peter?

PETER DUNCAN: No, no.

They've got style.

Natasha saw them and she persuaded me that-- and instantly when I saw them I concurred with her that this was a good choice.

Well done, you.

They're a wee bit on my head.

I spent every pound of my 400 pounds to get these things together.

- Have you?

PETER DUNCAN: Every penny.

I have to congratulate you on that.

Yes, congratulations to both of you.

And you did the same, of course.

Of course.

Almost.

NARRATOR: You fibbers.

Time to reveal all.

It's a stepladder.

SARAH GREENE: It's an apple orchard ladder from the 1920s, from France.

Can I reveal back what's under here?

NATASHA RASKIN: Ooh!

SARAH GREENE: There we are.

Ooh!

I thought it was all going to be small.

Chimney pots?

We bought things that we fire, and burning things.

I know.

NATASHA RASKIN: How good are they for the garden?

Plant those out.

That's what they're for.

Yes, that's exactly what they're for.

What do you think are these little devils?

NATASHA RASKIN: Really gorgeous.

The devil's the devil's fork and spoon.

They're deco.

NATASHA RASKIN: Silver gilt.

SARAH GREENE: Silver gilt.

PETER DUNCAN: They are beautiful.

They're French and they are for serving hors d'oeuvres or whatever you want, really.

NATASHA RASKIN: That's a cutie, I tell you, that wee sweetheart little pocket watch.

SARAH GREENE: Do you love that?

Well, when was the last time you saw one in a heart shape?

That's so cute.

I think we've done pretty well.

I think we've all done spectacular.

I am fascinated.

Should we go and talk about ourselves behind our backs?

CATHERINE SOUTHON: I think we should.

Let's go and see.

Let's go and chat.

NARRATOR: Out of earshot, what do they really make of each other's lots?

What do you think of the the African figures?

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Well, they're brand new.

I mean, let's be honest.

They're just off the plane.

[LAUGHS] But you never know, it's a sort of quirky thing that someone might pick up on.

I particularly like the ladder because I'm a comedy ladder man.

I'm always buying ladders, I've got five ladders at home.

Not sure about the strange sort of demonic cutlery, I'm not sure.

I like that.

I do like it, but it's a bit weird.

I don't know.

It all depends who's there on the day, doesn't it?

But-- Whose do you prefer?

Ours.

[LAUGHS] Yay.

We can say that.

I do, I really do.

NARRATOR: No shame in that, Sarah.

After starting way back in Guildford in Surrey, Sarah and Peter are now en route to auction in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.

Honestly, Pinocchio, I love.

Yes.

But I'm quite sad-- Do you think he'll come to life today at the auction?

I hope so, Peter.

Do you think if somebody offers him for a fiver he might sort of spring to life and object to be-- I hope you're allowed-- I mean, I hope he's allowed to do that.

NARRATOR: Hmm.

Me, too.

Natasha and Catherine have already arrived in the historic Riverside town of Tewkesbury and are waiting for their celebrity partners at Church Street auctions.

You hear what I can hear?

I can hear a roaring.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Listen to her roar.

SARAH GREENE: The roar of success!

CATHERINE SOUTHON: All right, carry on.

SARAH GREENE: These gals look ready for action.

You look absolutely beautiful.

Look at this gorgeous dress.

Thank you very much.

That to me is a winning dress.

Is it?

Yeah.

Don't worry, you get to drive it after the auction, too.

Do I?

You sure do.

Oh, we're leaving.

You mean I take it home?

SARAH GREENE: Feeling positive, feeling good.

NATASHA RASKIN: We're just talking about auctions.

Are you feeling lucky?

PETER DUNCAN: Yeah.

NATASHA RASKIN: You feeling lucky?

PETER DUNCAN: All right.

I am.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: We are positive.

NATASHA RASKIN: Shall we take out positive energy indoors?

I think we should.

We'll follow in your wake, I think.

NARRATOR: On this road trip Sarah and Catherine spent 303 pounds on five auction lots, while Peter and Natasha also bought five lots, spending every single penny of their 400 pound budget.

The man presiding over today's auction is Beau Howell.

So what does he make of our celebrities' lots?

BEAU HOWELL: At eight pound.

The Swiss watch I like very much.

A silver one, I think it's lovely.

And the wrought-iron birdbaths.

It's a shame the fire's with them, but I like them a lot.

I think they're great pieces.

NARRATOR: Find your seat, you two, as your first up.

With the brass vases and unusual horn letter opener.

15 anyone?

Come on, they've gotta be worth about I'm sure 15, surely.

Surely.

BEAU HOWELL: Tenner?

Anyone at all?

10 pounds.

Doesn't sound like he's from Tewkesbury, does he?

10 pounder gone.

12 anywhere?

Come on.

Finished at 10.

Come on, surely.

You're finished, you're sure?

[GAVEL STRIKES] Sold for 10?

NARRATOR: Not the best of starts.

Onwards and upwards, we hope.

I think people are not in a spending mood unfortunately.

NARRATOR: Well, Sarah, hopefully someone will want to fork out for your 20th century French apple orchard ladder.

I have a couple of bids on it, and I can go in at 60 pounds.

No!

Yeah!

That's brilliant, sorry.

65 anywhere?

All finished at 60 pounds.

[GAVEL STRIKES] [LAUGHS] NARRATOR: A small but sweet profit there for Sarah and Catherine.

Utterly amazed.

That's very good, you're well in the lead.

I'm really surprised!

NARRATOR: You shouldn't be too shocked, you did buy them.

You might have to get up and do a bit of an act, Peter.

Oh, OK. NARRATOR: Yes, Peter, as it's the turn of your porcelain puppet.

Hello, everybody.

I'm a little-- Would he like to bid?

He would not till someone else does, no.

Would you like to bid?

No, I don't.

BEAU HOWELL: 10 pound for him.

Tenner.

Good little mole, 10 pound.

Come on, he's worth 10 pounds.

10 I've got.

You're kind.

You take me home.

I cook and clean for you.

BEAU HOWELL: 12 pound?

You're finished at 10?

You're not letting it go for that, surely.

Don't sell me, don't sell me!

[LAUGHS] I hate you.

BEAU HOWELL: All done.

[GAVEL STRIKES] Yours, sir.

There you go, mate.

[LAUGHS] They'll be very happy together.

[LAUGHS] NARRATOR: Despite Peter's performance that's another loss.

Rotten luck.

We bought it for 25, it sold for 10.

A good strong second for us there.

NARRATOR: Maybe Sarah's vintage skis will be more to this crowd's liking.

10 pound for them.

Could you sell them separately?

[LAUGHS] BEAU HOWELL: Wow, 10 pound I've got.

There you go.

He's amazed.

12.

14.

16.

18.

20.

22.

Here you go.

BEAU HOWELL: 24.

I'm holding my breath.

Got some actual bidding.

25.

No, 25 pounds straight down there.

All finished at 25 pound?

[GAVEL STRIKES] NARRATOR: Another loss there.

Where are all the "Blue Peter" fans when you need them, eh?

Slightly bizarre.

Do people know something that we don't?

NARRATOR: Surely you're incongruous linked birdbath and early 20th century wood burner will sell well, Peter.

And I go in at 200 pounds.

Yes!

BEAU HOWELL: 200 pound I've got.

220 anywhere?

220.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: That's it, sir.

BEAU HOWELL: 240.

Go on.

250.

250.

260.

270?

Nope.

260 on my right, all finished at 260.

All done.

[GAVEL STRIKES] Yes!

Yes!

NARRATOR: Finally a profit for Peter and Natasha, hurrah.

Well done, well done, well done.

Well done, that was fantastic.

NARRATOR: It was, indeed.

Right.

Can Sarah and Catherine pull in a profit with a silver heart shaped fob watch?

50 I've got.

Is there 55 anywhere?

- Close.

- Come on!

BEAU HOWELL: It's worth a lot, lot more than that.

It is.

Come on.

All finished at 50 pound.

Are you sure?

It's incredibly beautiful.

I have to tell you.

No?

[GAVEL STRIKES] NARRATOR: So close yet so far.

What a shame.

We loved it.

And that's all that matters.

Yes.

It is.

NARRATOR: Well, not if you want to win it's not.

Peter and Natasha's pair of lead glass windows are up next.

40 I've got.

45 anywhere?

45.

50.

You want 55?

55.

I'm out on the floor at 55.

60 anywhere?

All done.

Oh, that's sore.

No!

[GAVEL STRIKES] That's sore.

NARRATOR: Ouch.

It is, indeed.

Another disappointing loss there.

Someone's got a deal there.

There are some bargains being bought today aren't there?

NARRATOR: Time now for Sarah and Catherine's priciest purchase, the 19th century terracotta chimney pots.

60 pound I've got.

65 anywhere?

There's two.

BEAU HOWELL: 65.

67.

Do you want 70?

70 I'm out.

That's it, that's it.

75?

No?

75.

77 anywhere?

All finished at 75?

Oh no, surely not.

BEAU HOWELL: All done.

Come on.

77.

Ah.

Come on.

80.

82.

82.

Come on.

84.

84.

No?

84 on my left.

All finished at 84 pound.

All done.

[GAVEL STRIKES] Thank you.

Now how about the other one?

[LAUGHS] Good.

NARRATOR: Nice try, Sarah.

Nice try.

I wait for the final reckoning.

I know.

NARRATOR: Here it comes, Peter, your last lot.

The pair of carved African fertility figures.

20 pound, someone.

Should say 50.

Look at them.

The weight of them.

Anyone at all?

15 pounds for two African fertility figures.

- Come on now.

- No.

BEAU HOWELL: Come on, they're worth that, surely.

Yes.

Tenner.

Here we go.

Ladies.

BEAU HOWELL: 10 pounds.

10 pounds.

Fiver.

A fiver?

All right, I'll buy them for a fiver.

Yes!

I'll see you at the stage door.

What a hero.

Sold to me.

- Well done.

- Sold to me.

I love that auctioneer.

He's the best auctioneer I've ever met.

[LAUGHS] NARRATOR: Well, they sold.

Just sadly Peter and Natasha end on another loss.

He's bought them for six.

He's bought them for five.

Didn't he bid against himself for six?

No.

Five, OK. NARRATOR: It's been a tough old crowd today, but what will they think of the final lot, Sarah and Catherine's art deco silver hors d'oeuvres servers?

15 anyone?

15 pounds.

15 pound I've got.

17 anywhere?

That's a start.

Come on, 17.

Anyone at all?

17 pound.

Isn't it interesting nobody-- What's happening?

I know.

They were our best.

[GAVEL STRIKES] NARRATOR: Oh dear.

No happy ending there it would seem.

Let's go do math.

- Let's do it.

- Must we?

We must.

We must.

OK, OK.

Yes, yes.

Thank you.

NARRATOR: After beginning with 400 pounds, sadly Peter and Natasha made a loss of 121 pounds, and 20 pence after paying auction costs, which means they end their journey with 278 pounds and 80 Pence.

Sarah and Catherine also kicked off with 400 pounds, and unfortunately they too made a loss after auction costs of 111 pounds and 12 pence, which means they're crowned today's winning losers, says to speak, finishing with 288 pounds and 88 Pence.

So close.

I call that quits.

It's a draw.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: It's a draw.

NATASHA RASKIN: It's a draw.

CATHERINE SOUTHON: Well done, everyone.

PETER DUNCAN: What I've learnt from this experience is all you need in life as an E-Type Jaguar and two lovely ladies to share the passenger seat with you.

Oh, I hope I'm one of those.

Yes, two.

Well talking of E-Types, you've got to jump in it now.

It's the end of the road.

SARAH GREENE: The end.

Not in that car again.

It's been a pleasure.

Thank you.

Well done.

PETER DUNCAN: Thank you.

NARRATOR: And so despite the disappointment our celebrities depart with a smile.

Bye-bye!

Bye!

What's been your best bit about being on the Antiques Road Trip?

[REVS ENGINE] Oh.

[LAUGHS] I thought you were going to say being with me.

PETER DUNCAN: Just sitting in this white E-Type Jag, with you by my side, talking of old times.

I mean, let's forget all the buying and selling, and the extraordinary disaster that happened.

I used to have a model of this when I was a little boy.

This car, you know, so this is like some sort of childhood fantasy.

- It's a dream come true.

- It is.

A dream come true.

NARRATOR: Well, isn't that nice?

Until we meet again.

Ta ta, road trippers.
