antiques experts... RAJ: That's me.

PAUL: I like that.

VO: ..behind the wheel of a classic car.

TIM: Hold on!

IRITA: (SQUEALS) VO: And a goal, to scour Britain for antiques.

En garde!

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

But it's no mean feat.

I don't believe it!

VO: There'll be worthy winners... PAUL: Yes!

VO: ..and valiant losers.

I was robbed.

VO: Will it be the high road to glory...

Right, come on, let's go.

VO: ..or the slow road to disaster?

DAVID: Oh, Roo!

Oh, Roo!

ROO: (SQUEALS) VO: This is the Antiques Road Trip!

Uh-oh!

Howdy doody.

We're on the east coast of Scotland.

STEVEN (SM): Is that the silvery Tay?

NATASHA (NS): Um... Maybe that's why they call it the silvery Tay.

Oh, you'll have had your "Tay".

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: The happy joy continues with auctioneer Natasha Raskin Sharp and ceramics expert jolly Steven Moore.

I can't believe we've coming to the last leg.

SM: I know.

NS: It's really gone so quickly I don't want it to end.

I know.

Who will you miss more, me or Lady Lavinia?

(TUTS) Do I need to say?

SM: I know, Lady Lavinia.

NS: Lady Lavinia.

Yes!

VO: Lady Lavinia is the swish 1960s Rolls Royce.

She was made before seat belts were mandatory, don't you know?

You're dressed for the season.

I've left the best till last.

Yeah.

I thought a 1920s car coat made of Steiff teddy bear mohair... Is it?

It is, it's mohair plush, that they make the actual Steiff teddy bears from.

You're a living, breathing teddy bear.

Well I'd already figured that out on this trip.

From his original £200, he now has £267.74.

Natasha's pockets are stuffed to the max, with a bountiful £405.88 pennies.

NS: Look at that gentlemen, he was just changing his wheel.

Just... See, that's why I don't go for a cycle on a country lane.

SM: No.

NS: Because having to do that.

We really should've stopped and helped him.

We probably should've, yeah.

VO: (CHUCKLES) We began in North Yorkshire, meandering around the North East, crossed the border into bonny Scotland, and will conclude in Perthshire.

This is a bittersweet moment, because so much to look forward to, what are we gonna buy?

NS: But then it's done.

SM: I know, it's the end.

It's not the end of us though, darling, is it?

No, of course.

No.

Especially if you let me borrow that coat.

VO: Oh no!

You've crossed the line.

For this showstopper finale we will be selling at a saleroom in the village of Thurcroft, in South Yorkshire.

But first the city of Dundee beckons.

How lovely.

The home of Desperate Dan, the RRS Discovery, and Scotland's first design museum, the ultra-hip V&A.

Oh crumbo, they're sharing a shop, look.

Clepington Antiques and Collectables.

SM: To the shop.

What lies ahead, Steven?

Well antiques, apparently.

NS: Fingers crossed.

NS: Knock-knock-knock.

SM: Oh!

VO: Whoopsie!

Careful!

VO: Now, feast your eyes in here.

The shop's packed with stuff.

NS: Steven must be in his element.

I mean he's always talking about his ceramic children.

There's ceramic children everywhere.

This is his entire family tree.

With over £260, who will it be?

Nephew?

Grandfather?

Who's this distant cousin?

Well first of all it's very stylish.

It's French.

And it's by an interesting company.

I'm not really sure how you pronounce it, it's R-O-B-J, so Robj, I think is how it's pronounced.

They were a shop that selected the best designers, and the best makers, and they kind of married them together to make luxury products.

This is a little sort of spirit flask.

Her hat must come off, if I do it very gently.

Oh.

It dates to 1925, 1930, so it's the time of the Eiffel Tower.

This is central art deco.

It's a really good maker, and it is...

It's £38.

I don't know whether that says "cracked."

Ah, yeah, there we are, all the way down there.

It's a rather small crack.

But you know what?

It's £38.

A little wiggle room in the price.

I think that's a bargain, that is going dans mon poche, as they say, en France.

I think that's me done.

Celebration.

VO: OK, mon petit chou.

While Steven sinks into the world of ceramics, how is Natasha finding her bon ami's porcelain utopia?

It doesn't make it any easier when you just don't know where to start.

I wish I had less money, is that bad to say?

I feel like I'm daunted by my budget.

VO: And with over £400 Natasha has plenty of scope.

But can she see anything but china through the china jungle?

These are quite sweet.

These are dress buttons.

And don't ask me for a demonstration, but I think that's how you attach these buttons to your different items.

So it's a shame that's missing.

I think that would have been a little brooch, almost, to keep your collar in place.

On top of the design, the wreath, and the kind of striations, the enamel has been poured.

And that technique's known as guilloche enamel.

So these are guilloche enamel dress buttons.

The colors are amazing, because I think this is a subtle suffragist move.

Not suffragette.

So if you're a suffragette you're willing to do whatever it takes to demand the vote for your sex.

You will take direct action, you could even take quite violent action, because you were so passionate about your cause.

But if you were a suffragist, your campaigning was much less direct.

It was done by the letter.

And if you considered yourself to be more in that group, you might think "Well, actually, "my buttons can very subtly send a message.

"So my buttons are in the color of white and violet, W and V. "Women's votes."

I love that.

How smart.

VO: Yeah, that's one possible for Natasha.

Now what's Steven up to?

SM: I've seen...

This isn't to eat your dinner off.

This is a plate to put in a cabinet.

It is by Aynsley, top-notch English maker founded in 1775.

Erm... they specialized in this raised gold work on this lovely blue ground.

This is a lovely hand-painted scene.

Who doesn't like a dog, who doesn't like a golden retriever?

This is a nice thing.

There's too much...

I never though I'd say it - there's too much china in this shop.

I'm getting... dare I say I'm getting china fatigue?

Danger, danger, Steven.

VO: Indeed.

The Aynsley plate isn't priced.

But you've got nearly £270.

Oh, Derek!

I found this upstairs, priceless.

It's £45.

£45.

Is that the ticket price?

Or is that the very best pretty please price for Steven?

Price for Steven... £35.

OK.

Right.

This, I've...

It's £38 - is there a tickle left in that?

Yeah, I could take that down to 30.

VO: Makes 65.

I'm gonna... before you change your mind.

60 and five.

OK, thank you very much indeed.

So, thanks, good to see you again.

Thank you, bye.

VO: That's Steven all done and dusted in here.

How's the fair Natasha?

I'm not usually into medals.

I'm not really excited by a medal that's never been engraved.

One of my favorite cataloging terms in the world, a "vacant cartouche" here, for you to place whatever you wish.

The winner of X, Y, Z race, or whatever tournament, goes around the border.

VO: Antique Road Trip Auction Champ?

The thing I love about it the most, the more that I look at it... Well actually, I suppose it would be pertinent to see how heavy it is in my hand.

Not that heavy.

But it's silver, it's solid silver.

But the best thing is surely this box, because it doesn't rattle around in that box.

Look, it has its hook.

Two items in their original presentation boxes.

Imagine that together in an auction catalog.

They go together, that works.

VO: The dress buttons are not priced, and the medal?

At first glance that looked like 15, and now I'm questioning, is it 95?

It can't be 95.

VO: Let's go and find out from dealer Paul.

This little silver medal here is marked up at either 95 or 15.

Is it 15?

15, yeah.

Oh, it is, OK.

Thank goodness.

Cuz it's not the world's heaviest bit of silver.

So Paul, I'm going to go with this... PAUL: OK. NS: ..at £15.

Thank you for that.

And then the same dealer has this case set as well, of enameled buttons.

I was wondering what your best price would be on those?

We could do that one, just for you Natasha, 15 as well.

Two for 30.

Just for you.

£15?

I cannot say fairer, that's amazing.

OK, well, I'll take those two.

That's 20.

That's 10.

Thank you very much.

VO: How very generous.

And a brilliant buy for Natasha.

Meanwhile, Steven has skedaddled to the city's Victoria Dock.

Berthed on the calm waters here lies a mighty survivor from the Georgian navy.

One of the oldest wooden warships in the world, HMS Unicorn.

Launched in 1824, she is the fighting frigate that never went to war.

Now a remarkable museum.

Steven is meeting with Finlay Raffle, from the Unicorn Preservation Society.

So is this... this?

Absolutely.

OK.

This is a model of what HMS Unicorn would have looked like had she been fully rigged, and masted.

So she was never rigged?

She was never fully rigged for sea service.

She was built down in Chatham in the early 19th century, and designed as a 46 gun frigate for the Royal Navy.

She was one of a large class of ships known as leader class frigates, and they were built between 1805 and 1832, and many of Unicorn's sister ships fought in the Napoleonic Wars.

VO: At the time of her construction and design it was the heart of the Industrial Revolution.

Surveyor of the navy Sir Robert Seppings was breathing new life into ship architecture, with the addition of iron.

Unicorn is the only real surviving example that shows this move or transition from the 18th century craftsmanship, wooden shipbuilding, into the modern 19th century iron shipbuilding.

So she was built to last, and last she has.

Absolutely.

Because unicorn was built in the 1820s, it was during a period known as Pax Britannia, or British peace, and that was a period that lasted from 1815 up until 1914.

So ships like Unicorn, although built for war, no war came around for them to fight in.

VO: It was during her time in reserve that the Royal Navy added the protective roof covering, common practice when ships were not at sea.

If a ship like this had been going out to service she would maybe have only lasted 20 to 30 years, and the sea and the battles would have taken their toll on her.

It actually means that a huge percentage of the ship is original.

Somewhere between 90 to 95%.

VO: And this peace time insured Unicorn is the most original historic vessel left in the world.

As a warship with no war to fight, Unicorn lay unused for nearly 50 years.

But it wasn't the end for this Georgian survivor.

Dundee was requiring a new training ship for the Royal Naval Reserves.

The RNR, as they're known, had been set up in 1859 and Dundee had been quite a substantial RNR division, and Unicorn was deemed to be the most suitable, and so on the 9th of November 1873 she was brought up the east coast of the UK, and arrived in Scotland's sunniest city.

VO: The move from Georgian fighting frigate to a fully fitted drillship for naval reserves would be a role she would serve for nearly 100 years.

She was used in World War One and World War Two as a recruiting center for the war effort.

At the outbreak of World War One in 1914, Unicorn's reserves were some of the first to be called into action.

VO: Although HMS Unicorn wouldn't engage in conflict, at the end of World War Two, she would come face to face with the enemy.

One of the German U boats, which was German U-2326, came up the Tay to surrender to the local naval commander.

And because he was based on HMS Unicorn, the crew had to get off of the U boat, and they had to come in and surrender on board.

VO: Remarkably, Unicorn is the only Georgian ship to accept the surrender of a German U boat.

In the 1960s the admiralty considered scrapping this great survivor of the British Navy.

One of the previous captains of Unicorn, Captain Jack Anderson, he asked the admiralty if they could move Unicorn, rather than scrap her, and they agreed to.

And so it a day in October of 1962, they carefully moved the ship out, back onto the River Tay, and brought her down to Victoria Dock, where she's remained ever since.

The Ministry of Defence handed the ship over to the Unicorn Preservation Society, and Prince Philip, he took the ship on behalf of the society.

And they've been taking care of Unicorn ever since.

I have to say this has been absolutely...

It's brilliant to see something I knew nothing about, and to see a ship which is not only so beautifully preserved, but has such an amazing history.

Thank you so much, it's been really fascinating.

You're more than welcome.

We've loved having you on board.

VO: While Steven's been stepping back in time to the golden age of sail, Natasha's getting the final-adventure blues.

I'm really gonna miss Steven, actually.

I'm really learning to love his dress sense, which is brilliantly wacky.

And I'll miss that voice.

Such, such a lovely voice.

Very soothing.

VO: Aw!

But this is a competition.

Let's get buying.

VO: Natasha has traveled south to the village of Guardbridge in the northeast of Fife.

Where did the rain come from?

VO: It's tipping down.

With giddy excitement, Natasha is sprinting into Malcolm Antiques and Collectables.

There's a gaggle of goodies in here, from Georgian to vintage.

And with over £370 to splurge, our girl is in the money.

Something I aspire to in life is a really nice hall.

VO: Okey dokes.

It's an oak, very humble looking, arts and crafts, and I would say umbrella stand but I think it's more of a stick stand.

Because were it an umbrella stand we would expect a tray.

Arts and crafts, move away from the machine.

Make things with your hands, move away from the industry of the Victorian era, and get back down to how things were originally made.

Wooden items.

And I just think that's really smart.

VO: And the price?

£58.

Hmm.

This is on the list.

Yeah.

Do you know what, the more I hold it, the more I like it.

VO: What else for our wealthy gal?

This is really attractive.

This is so smart.

You have this fan shape, this crescent panels of wood, which looks like teak.

VO: Let's get a better look.

This is really heavy, because those shades are molded glass, and it's a brass frame.

But I just wanted to...

Hold on.

Am I gonna risk it?

Yeah.

I just wanted to see it from below.

It's kind of got a bit of a Spanish feel to it.

But it's also really of a time.

VO: Someone's had her porridge.

'60s, '70s, very on trend.

This is '65.

Oh, but the stick stand.

Maybe together there could be a deal done.

Two for one, right?

VO: Cor!

She's a one, eh?

Let's find the lady in charge.

Caitlin?

NS: Man alive, that is heavy.

Right, I've had a good rifle around.

For whatever reason, I'm looking at this arts-and-crafts stick stand, which I really like, I think it's just humble and really unassuming.

And then a bit more flashy.

This sort of boomerang ceiling lamp.

DEALER: Yeah.

Let me remind myself.

This one was 58.

So that 65, so together, 123.

Right.

OK. Are you up for it Caitlin, NS: are you up for a haggle?

DEALER: Yes.

(THEY CHUCKLE) Hit me with it.

Hit you with it.

Yeah.

So my offer is gonna be cheeky.

Final leg, final push.

I'm gonna chance my arm.

What would you say to 75?

Yeah, I could do that.

Shall we do it?

Let's do it.

Oh Caitlin, that's cool.

OK, right.

That's an amazing discount.

Thank you.

75.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Right, OK. VO: 45 for the arts-and-crafts stick stand and 30 for the ceiling lamp leaves Natasha with just over £300.

And reunited, our pals are back in the comfort of the Rolls.

What is the specialty of Dundee, other than marmalade?

No, no.

That's what we're having for dinner.

NS: We're having marmalade.

SM: Marmalade?

NS: Yeah.

SM: Paddington Bear!

Teddy bear!

Exactly.

Exactly!

Marmalade sandwiches!

VO: Scrummy!

Huh.

Nighty-night.

VO: Good morning, Perthshire.

Look at that.

NS: We have raised a few eyebrows as we've driven around.

You know, people do respect the car, don't they?

It's rather marvelous.

They do, they do.

It's that stately pace, and of course they do like the little... (HORN HONKS) Oh, that's lovely.

VO: Certainly is.

Natasha has clung on to her cash, spending £105 on the combo lot of the Edwardian dress buttons and the silver medal, the arts-and-crafts stick stand, and the vintage ceiling light.

This is really attractive.

VO: Leaving Natasha with a whopping £300.88.

Meanwhile, Steven has doled out £65 on the art-deco spirit flask and the golden retriever cabinet plate.

This is a nice thing.

VO: Giving Steven just over £200 to play with.

You see this is the sad thing, final shopping day, final proper outing with Lavinia, and look how you've mastered her, just, just as we come to an end.

I think she likes a firm man in charge of her.

Do you think so?

But it won't be me.

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: Oh, those giggling Gerties.

He-he!

Steven has dropped Natasha off in glorious Perth.

VO: Many centuries ago it was once the capital of Scotland, and the playground for kings and queens.

But today it is the stomping ground of Natasha.

With the grand sum of £300 pounds in her pooch, this shop has floor to ceiling goodies.

Yes.

That cabinet is screaming to me, it says, "You have money in your pocket, "and you might just be able to afford something I have."

VO: Oh, this is exciting!

I don't actually know what that is.

That clicks into place.

It's quite a satisfying thing, that goes down.

That's cool.

That is cool.

That's for warming your toddy.

That's really nice.

Oh, what an amazing thing, that's solid silver.

So L&S is the maker, so that's Levi and Salaman, long established mid-to-late Victorian Birmingham makers.

So I think you pour spirits on to that little mesh area here, you set that alight, and it creates a little flame, you pop your whisky in here, you close the lid, and your toddy is warmed.

VO: And the price?

NS: Just at the top of the label, really faintly written, 245.

Genuinely in love with this item - really glamorous, really expensive.

Oh no!

Right, OK. VO: Well, let's keep looking.

What's next?

I'm shutting this over for a second.

I've seen what's inside.

It's so sweet.

Anything novelty, and cast in brass, with a good patina... ..it's got to be Victorian.

VO: Let's see inside then.

Da-da-da... An inkstand.

Definitely going to call her Doris, and I really enjoy Doris's style.

Oh, I'm getting a bit carried away with Doris's style because I haven't looked at the price.

£85.

That's quite good, actually.

VO: Also armed with the pricey toddy warmer, let's see what dealer George can do.

George, may I interrupt you?

Of course you can, Natasha.

Let me pop down my metal items.

Your wares.

So I wonder if I would have a better chance of securing a discount on said toddy warmer if I threw my friend Doris, little Doris here, into the mix.

Everybody loves a tortoise, eh?

Aye, the wee inkwell.

She's marked up at 85, this one's marked up at 245.

Mm-hm.

VO: Total, 330.

NS: Yeah, how about 220?

Sounds good to me.

NS: Are you sure?

DEALER: Mm-hm.

NS: Are you positive?

DEALER: Positive.

That's really cool, OK. Yeah, that's amazing.

Thank you so much.

There we go, 220.

I'll take this, and this, and I will say George, sincerely, thank you very much.

Much appreciated.

Cheerio.

VO: That bold buy leaves Natasha with just £80.

Where's our chum Steven, then?

I'm really quite sad with... it's my last day with Natasha and we really get on really well, she's so nice.

And we have a really good giggle.

VO: Steven has traveled to the village of Doune in Stirling.

Renowned for making pistols in the 17th century, let's see what fires up Steven in here.

From mustachioed mannequins to a plethora of items from antique to vintage, this emporium specializes in the unusual.

SM: Hello.

DEALER: Hello.

VO: Sharon is the lady in command here.

Steven has a smidge over £200 to play with, but what will he rootle out?

DEALER: (CHUCKLES) VO: Suits you, sir.

These are sprig molds.

You're thinking, "What is a sprig mold?"

Well there's a kind of a clue on the side.

it says Wedgwood.

Wedgewood of course were famous for their jasper pottery, which has these sprigs on, and the clay was pushed into the mold, scraped off with a knife, and then they'd use a knife just to lift it out there, allow it to dry slightly, and then applied as decoration.

So these were in use from the 18th century right up to today.

These were actually once hot currency if you were a potter.

Now they're kind of just a curio.

But it's fascinating to see.

For someone like myself who is a bit of a ceramics geek, this is kind of the DNA of Wedgwood.

VO: But it's not quite what Steven is looking for.

Anything else?

I love an open cabinet, it's like an invitation.

VO: Mm!

What's that you've got?

(HOLLOW TAPPING) SM: What does that tell you?

Different metals have different sounds, and... it looks like it could have been something to hold matches, an ashtray or whatever.

But this copper bottom, this is bronze.

It wouldn't ever fit my wrist, but this has been a bangle or a bracelet, and it probably comes from North Africa or the Middle Eastern area, but at £24?

Is it one to go for?

It's certainly got age.

I mean, even the base you can see has been a long time.

And it's got this gorgeous kind of just natural patina of ages.

VO: And before you can say cashmere jumper... Yeah, definitely take this.

DEALER: OK. SM: Thank you very much.

Wish me luck.

I might need it.

Take care now, bye-bye.

VO: That neat little buy leaves Steven just shy of £180.

Now, where's his antiques buddy?

Natasha is in the town of Cupar.

She's popping in here to find out more about the origins of the great chieftain of the pudding race - haggis.

Owner Stuart Minick can explain more about how haggis became the national dish of Scotland.

Hello, hi.

You must be Stuart?

I am indeed.

Well I've come to you, Stuart, because I believe you know a thing or two about haggis.

Just a bit.

We're fortunate enough to have won a couple of prizes, and we're very proud of it.

Is it presumptuous or just wrong to think that this is a fine Scottish delicacy?

You know what?

Nobody invented it.

Everybody, every country in sort of Europe, all over, has had a go at haggis.

In the... Back in the days if you were killing an animal or hunting, it was a good way to preserve the offal.

Offal goes off quickly.

NS: Mm-hm.

STUART: The meat you can keep.

So the best way to protect that is to cook it, simple as that.

VO: A reason that haggis is commonly associated with Scotland today may be the war-torn years of the 17th and 18th centuries.

The Scottish economy had taken a devastating downward spiral.

Meat would be expensive, making the offal-based haggis a staple for the masses.

NS: What is in haggis?

What's in haggis?

It's basically the pluck, the pluck of the sheep, which is the Scottish term for heart, liver, lungs.

And that's bulked out with suet, onions, two different sorts of oatmeal, and spices.

And then you fill the whole thing into a natural bung, which is an intestine.

VO: And guess what... Lucky Natasha is going to have a go at filling this natural bung.

After a good mix of onions and offal and a few secret ingredients, the haggis is ready to be created.

That looks easy enough.

Well, kind of.

It's slithery.

NS: OK, you ready?

Here we go.

Oh, it's coming, oh!

Oh my God!

STUART: No, no!

NS: (LAUGHS) Oh!

Oh, my God!

OK. Oh... VO: Oh dear.

STUART: That's it, you've got it, you've got it.

NS: That's a good one.

STUART: That's not bad.

NS: That is a... STUART: That's a keeper.

That's an excellent haggis.

I wouldn't go that far, but still.

Oh, oh, oh!

Ooh!

VO: Maybe... Maybe... best left to the professionals, eh?

Oh, dear.

Would you sell that in the shop?

Er, no.

No.

OK.

It's not a keeper?

Not a keeper.

Aw.

Thanks for letting me have a go, though.

You're welcome.

VO: He-he.

And before we tuck into the fuel of the Celts, how did this humble dish become a global delicacy?

After the Jacobite rebellion, things were hard.

There was a...you know, it was almost a police state in Scotland, people were subjugating the Highlands, the Lowlands.

It wasn't a good time.

VO: In the 19th century, Scotland was in dire need of a triumphant rebirth.

Literary great Sir Walter Scott was the man to do it in 1822.

The invented pageantry for the arrival of King George IV, resplendent in tartan, sparked an upsurge in demand for all things Scottish.

What was once a humble dish created to preserve offal had become the national dish of Scotland, and in true Scots tradition, it's a must to recite Rabbie Burns's Address To The Haggis.

His knife where rustic labor dight, to cut ye up wi' ready slight, Trenching your entrails gushing bright, like onie ditch.

But o what a glorious sight, Warm, reekin', rich!

NS: (CHUCKLES) STUART: Well done.

VO: Cor, she knows her Burns!

STUART: Ace!

That was really good.

Right OK, so now it's open, it's been addressed, let me take this out.

So this is something else.

Obviously we have the neeps and the tatties, NS: the turnip and the potatoes.

STUART: Yeah.

But it's all about the main event.

Here we go.

Quite nervous that you're going to like it, now.

Oh, don't be nervous.

Cheers.

Mm!

Tell me you like it.

Mm.

I don't like it, I love it.

That is absolutely delicious.

That was the correct answer, well done you.

Oh wow, that is so good.

VO: Let's leave Natasha to chomp away, then.

Love it or loathe it, this Scottish savory is intrinsically linked to Scottish culture.

and is as iconic as a wee dram of whisky.

Where art thou, Steven?

I'll need a bit of luck, because we were neck and neck, two wins for Natasha, two wins for me - it's all down to the last auction.

VO: Indeed.

Steven's motored to the Perthshire village of Rait.

Today he's visiting Rait Antiques.

Over 20 dealers have jammed the shelves in here.

Our man in the teddy bear coat has nearly £180 to splash.

This is a Chinese garden stool.

And of course you'll be thinking, "Well, of course, why would you have "a Chinese china stool in your garden?"

Well of course porcelain is the perfect material, because it can stand heat, it can stand cold, it's very distinctive with this pink, this green, and the gold ground.

And it is, despite the fact somebody has broken it, it is in amazing condition.

I think someone might like to restore this.

It's 165, that would take almost all of my money.

I'd really like to buy a couple of things here.

VO: With £178 and pennies, it doesn't give you a lot of wiggle room.

I kind of quite like this, it's kind of saying... "man cave" to me, which is a bit of a... something I don't have.

But I know they're a thing people look for.

But it's a little display of barrels.

I don't think it's of any great age, but it's certainly not new.

And it's the sort of thing, it could have been in a school, it could have been in a naval training school or college, it's definitely something nautical.

VO: Yeah.

It's priced at £38.

People like sailing.

People who have a yacht might like to put this on their yacht.

Or their dinghy, who knows?

Um... What's tempting me to it is it's reasonably priced.

If I can get a bit of money off... the garden seat, I could splurge it all.

Let's go for it, let's see where we can...

I may need to fan myself down afterwards.

VO: I can see why.

Both items come to a total of £203.

Oh look, there's dealer Hilary.

I've got my eye on that, but there's something else I've seen as well, and the trouble is if I buy that I can't buy both.

How much do you think that would be in extremis?

Oh, I'll say a little prayer while we're on... DEALER: (CHUCKLES) Right, the best I could do on that would be 140.

OK. What else are you eying up?

There's a little... like a shadow box with barrels in it, that's 38 I think?

Yes, the best on that would be 35.

So the two things is 175.

Yes.

So there's 175.

That leaves me with £3.74.

Wonderful.

That's me off.

That's me shopped up.

I'll bring the car round.

Thank you so much.

No problem.

You're welcome.

VO: And for this shopping finale Steven has boldly devoured his budget with just £3 and pennies left.

Tempus fugit.

We are all done and dusted.

Together again, in the Rolls Royce.

It's our last night before our final auction - what should we do to celebrate?

Fancy a curry?

Lead on.

VO: Enjoy.

Time to get some shuteye.

Good morning to the beauty of the Scottish highlands.

Isn't it lovely?

Our twosome have traveled to the Perthshire village of Blair Atholl, to view their auction finale.

So, our final auction Steven.

And look at where we are going to watch it.

It's another castle.

Oh, this is an old castle.

None of your new castle.

No, none of these Johnny come lately castles.

No, we'll have none of that.

Right, how about that then?

Straight to the front door.

All we need's the butler with the drinks tray.

VO: The magnificent Blair Castle dates from the medieval period, and has hosted many a sparkling guest, including Mary Queen of Scots.

Our pair have sent their crammed to the max bag of antiques to the village of Thurcroft in South Yorkshire, which will be sold in here, at Paul Beighton Auctioneers, a family run auction house that's been on the go since the early '80s.

Jody Beighton is the auctioneer today.

And it's an online auction with commission bids galore.

Let's hear your thoughts on Natasha's five lots, costing £325.

This silver object, I've never seen one before.

It's made of silver, it's rare, so there's going to be plenty of people that are going to want to own it.

VO: Steven very nearly blew the lot by spending £264.

What's your favorite, Jody?

The Cantonese garden seat is a fantastic lot.

Had this been in good condition I could easily see it making £2,000, but the damage is severe.

So who knows where that one will land?

VO: Thanks Jody.

Now, let's glide up to our Highland retreat at Blair Atholl.

I do have a horrible feeling that I might have got a bit carried away a couple of times.

But do you know what, it was fun having money to spend.

(CHUCKLES) So whatever happens, que sera sera.

Exactly.

VO: Online bidders are poised, and Jody's in position.

First up it's Natasha's costly silver toddy warmer.

Commission bid's mine at £60, let's see 65.

I can't watch.

75.

85.

95.

95 again, 100.

110.

It's creeping.

It's not creeping enough.

It's on commission against the internet for £100 and selling.

Oh, he's stopped at 100 Steven!

Can we just go outside and cry?

VO: Disappointing, but we have plenty more to go.

I was maybe a wee bit smug about that one.

Pride comes before... the hammer falls.

It does.

VO: Moving swiftly on to Steven's cabinet plate.

Bids from everywhere online, we're at 30, 35, 40, let's see... We're in profit.

45 bid with Luke's machine.

50, let's see.

At £45 then.

50 will you?

All done and sure then for 45 online?

And selling if we're done... SM: We're £10 up... NS: You'll take it.

..and I'm happy.

Not quite a pedigree, but you know.

VO: Barking into the lead, Steven's happy.

It was a sprauncy bit of china.

Oh, well hats off to your sprauncy china.

Exactly.

£10 profit.

Good dog.

VO: Will Doris the tortoise be just as obedient, Natasha?

Novelty thing, £20.

10 then if you must.

20 we have.

He almost went to 10!

At 24 bid, 26 will you?

It's at £24.

26, 28, 30 let's see.

Creeping.

Oh.

Slow but steady.

At £40, are we all done?

All done and sure now, for £40 and selling... Has Doris wiped her face?

NS: No, I paid 45 for Doris!

SM: Oh!

Doris has still got a dirty face.

VO: Poor Doris.

It's still early days.

It's a good thing I didn't pay full price.

You're telling me.

VO: Can Steven dance further into the lead with the African bracelet?

16 bid online, 18 we're looking for.

Come on, come on.

At £16.

18 will you?

Nothing further, can't tempt you?

At £16 and away... Oh, I'm afraid it's gone on a maiden bid.

It's a small loss.

Yes.

NS: Modest.

SM: £8.

Yeah, you can handle that.

VO: You certainly can.

A mere trifle of a loss.

It's a bronze medal for me, I was hoping for gold, but never mind.

VO: (CHUCKLES) Now, what fate beckons for Natasha's art-deco stick stand?

Commission bid is in and out at £5.

Ooh!

Just stop!

Looking for six, any advance?

£5, looking for six!

10 bid, 12 let's see.

Bid's at 12, 14 will you?

At 14 now, still creeping up.

16 will you?

I didn't think it would do this badly.

All done and sure then for 14?

No!

16, still going.

18, I'll give you time.

20 we're looking for.

The bid's at £18.

And done and sure then, with the internet for £18, last chance to bid again at £18 and selling... Oh!

That's a wee... oh, twist of the knife.

VO: Gosh, someone's got a bargain there.

Oh.

Oh, darling, it's a bit... Oh, it's death by a thousand cuts here.

VO: Hope not.

Next it's Steven's shadow box with nautical barrels.

A bid straight in online at 30, let's see 35... NS: Go on.

JODY: 30 is bid, 35 we're looking for.

Any advance?

At 30, looking for five, are we all done?

And selling at £30 then, it's a pre-sale bid online.

At £30 and away... Well I'm devastated.

Very close, annoyingly close.

I know, but five quid off the mark.

VO: Despite this, you're still in the lead Steven.

It's cast a nasty shadow over my auction, hasn't it?

VO: Hmm, a bit dramatic, that.

Natasha's mid-20th-century ceiling light is next.

We've got £30, 35, 40 online.

Did I make a profit?

We're at £50, 55 bid.

With a live bid now, 60 will you?

Are we all done and sure now, for £55?

And selling at 55... NS: Ah... SM: Darling, SM: you've made a profit.

NS: I'm chuffed.

VO: Excellent.

About time, too.

Why do profits feel so nice?

VO: Maybe the extra dosh they bring.

Ha!

Next it's Steven's 19th-century Canton garden seat.

Straight in there at £100 online.

Ooh.

Let it build.

110, any advance?

The bid's in at £100 then, 110.

Online at 110, 120 let's see.

At 110 online.

And selling if you're all through then.

Last chance to bid for 120.

At £110 and selling...

He worked really hard for that.

I think he thought it was worth more.

I think he thought that as well.

I thought it was worth more.

VO: A beautiful thing.

But it did have a lot of damage.

Another modest loss.

VO: Can Natasha's final combo lot of the silver dress buttons and silver metal give her the push forward she needs?

20 we have, 22 let's see.

Bid's at £20, looking for two, any advance?

(GASPS) That can't go for 20.

Anything further?

£20 we're selling, make no mistake.

Last chance to bid.

22 we have, thank you.

24, 26 we're looking for.

Come on!

Are we all done and sure then?

£24 and selling... Well, I'm sorry about that.

You are?

VO: What a shame.

Another big bargain for a lucky bidder.

Oh, come on bidders, where were you?

I know.

VO: Yeah, Steven's art-deco porcelain spirit flask is last up.

A good bit of interest, I can start at £80.

85, let's see.

80 is bid on commission.

95 let's see.

95.

100.

JODY: 110, 120.

NS: Steven, that's so cool.

And it's going up.

It's at 120, 130 will you?

Looking for 130, 140, still on commission.

150 will you?

150 online.

160.

170.

Is she going to make £200?

170 then.

We're at £180.

And we're selling, last chance to bid at 180, and away... 180 smackers.

I mean, that's only a profit of £150.

VO: Tremendous result!

Definitely saved the best till last.

I know you thought there was profit - did you think there was that much?

SM: No.

(THEY CHUCKLE) VO: What a spectacular finish.

Let's work out the sums.

VO: After saleroom costs, Natasha made a loss of £130.66, making her final earnings a total of £275.22.

Steven concludes this adventure with £316.16.

After auction costs, Steven has narrowly nudged in front, and is number one on the winner's podium.

All profits go to Children In Need.

SM: That's it.

It's the end.

C'est fini.

For a moment, Steven, that castle was ours.

King and queen of the castle.

MUSIC: "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Eurythmics VO: Boy, what a trip it's been!

You're the king of Fife!

(CHUCKLES) Long live the king!

Thank you, my faithful subjects.

VO: Full of derring-do... Oh, oh, ooh!

VO: ..a touch of glam...

I look like a serious contender.

It's not too much?

VO: ..a passion for antiques... Quite simply the coolest thing I've ever seen.

VO: ..and one another.

You're a living, breathing teddy bear.

I want to be your teddy bear.

VO: Toodle pip, you lovely pair.
