Got some proper bling here.
NARRATOR: Paired up with an expert.
Calm down.
What, what?
NARRATOR: And a classic car.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] Their mission, to scour Britain for antiques.
All breakages must be paid for.
This is a good find, is it not?
NARRATOR: The aim, to make the biggest profit at auction.
But it's no easy ride.
Who will find a hidden gem?
Who will take the biggest risks?
Put on my antiques head on.
NARRATOR: Will anybody follow expert advice?
Oh, this is horrible.
NARRATOR: There will be worthy winners.
This is better than Christmas!
NARRATOR: And valiant losers.
Time to put your pedal to the metal.
This is "Celebrity Antiques Road Trip".
[THEME MUSIC] Yeah.
[JAZZ MUSIC] On today's road trip, two Titans of British acting Clive Russell and Tim Healy are braving the elements.
It's getting quite spooky, isn't it?
It's almost misty.
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC] Good weather for a horror movie.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC] CLIVE RUSSELL: It's actually getting darker.
TIM HEALY: It's not normally like this, the road trip, is it?
No, they're usually in summer frocks and shorts.
NARRATOR: Fear not chaps the tranquil world of antiquing will be a walk in the park for such a hardy pair.
Tim and Clive first met on the set of British sitcom "Heartburn Hotel".
TIM HEALY: I think it was 1999.
We did two series and a Christmas special.
[INAUDIBLE] in antiques, are you?
CLIVE RUSSELL: It fascinates me in a way, yeah.
TIM HEALY: There's a clutch on the left-- All right, all right.
Left hand side's the clutch.
[LAUGHTER] NARRATOR: Yeah.
Remember it's a left hand drive, Clive.
They're burning rubber and gears in a 1964 Mustang.
Oh, yeah.
SINGING: Mustang Sally.
The Mustang was manufactured before seatbelts were mandatory, which is why our celebs aren't wearing any.
From humble beginnings as a welder in a factory, Tim shot to fame in the 80s hit "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet".
He's since taken on many roles for example, "Still Open All Hours" and as transvestite Lesley in hit comedy "Benidorm".
Clive too has had a colorful career, starring as Blackfish in international phenomenon "Game of Thrones".
He's also featured in British classics such as "Great Expectations" and cult drama "Ripper Street".
Armed with 400 pounds each, they're going head to head.
But after 16 years of friendship, I wonder how competitive they are?
CLIVE RUSSELL: Are you a good haggler?
TIM HEALY: I am used to haggling a bit when I'm abroad, and I've just come back from Spain from Benidorm.
You know, you never pay the price they ask for.
CLIVE RUSSELL: It's sort of really, really, really doesn't matter who wins, as long as it's me.
TIM HEALY: As long as it's me, pal.
I'm a little bit nervous about your international experience, at the international haggler.
Haggler.
- The haggler.
- Haggler Healy.
Healy the haggler.
Healy the haggler.
NARRATOR: Crikey.
Haggler Healy, hey?
Don't worry Clive, here to even out the playing field of dealer's David Harper and Margie Cooper.
DAVID HARPER: We've only worked once together.
Why do I sense I've worked with you for 48 years?
[LAUGHS] - Why?
Because you talk a lot.
I pack a lot in.
DAVID HARPER: Who's winning so far, then?
MARGIE COOPER: Uh, you.
DAVID HARPER: So you need to get me-- - Oh, I will.
- On this trip.
I will, definitely.
NARRATOR: This is going to be one competitive road trip.
David and Margie are eating up the miles in a 1974 Jensen interceptor and very much looking forward to meeting their celebs.
DAVID HARPER: So we've got two pretty cool characters today.
MARGIE COOPER: Yeah, we have.
They seem to know each other well, don't they?
"Auf Wiedersehen, Pet", which I remember really well.
It's hard to remember that.
MARGIE COOPER: I loved that series, never missed it.
I can't resist a Geordie.
NARRATOR: Uh-oh, look out Tim.
On today's road trip we're traveling through Tim's home County, Northumberland and across the border into Scotland, ending up at an auction in Leith in Edinburgh.
Our journey starts by the beautiful walled city of Berwick upon tweed.
DAVID HARPER: I could hear a crunch, I could hear it.
Oh.
That is a-- Oh, it's a Mustang, not going very quickly.
MARGIE COOPER: Oh, hey.
DAVID HARPER: Margie, you're dripping all over me.
Go and get your Geordie fella, go on.
Off you go.
Go on.
MARGIE COOPER: Oh, hey!
Good morning.
DAVID HARPER: Good morning.
TIM HEALY: Good morning!
[LAUGHS] DAVID HARPER: Clive, come into to my umbrella.
Good to meet to you too.
CLIVE RUSSELL: Can we go somewhere warm?
NARRATOR: It's a quick hot foot into the nice and dry shop called Auction House Ferric.
[CHUCKLES] That's confusing.
MARGIE COOPER: Are you into any antiques in any way?
Well, my lady Jewel actually, she's the antique fanatic.
She collects these little pigs.
All right.
- Porcelain pigs.
- All right.
All different types.
Yeah, I've got hundreds of them.
All right.
Yeah but-- Let's see if we can find them.
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC] NARRATOR: Will they find what they're looking for?
Well, it's a nice looking box.
TIM HEALY: Yeah.
MARGIE COOPER: Right.
Lovely mahogany box, beautifully made.
Look at that.
TIM HEALY: Yeah, yeah.
MARGIE COOPER: Some kind of early printing press.
TIM HEALY: Right.
MARGIE COOPER: 28 pounds.
Cheap.
NARRATOR: This mahogany box was used to store items for printing purposes such as movable type.
MARGIE COOPER: Lovely bit of mahogany.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] TIM HEALY: 1930s?
MARGIE COOPER: No, it's earlier than that.
- Older than that.
- Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
All right, and that's tipping into the late Victorian Edwardian.
TIM HEALY: Really?
Well look, shall we just give it-- let's tuck it away.
So we're in the shop with those two.
OK.
So let's tuck it away.
- Yeah, yeah.
- So hide it.
Hide it.
[CHUCKLES] NARRATOR: That's one possible purchase squirreled away.
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC] How are Clive and David getting on?
DAVID HARPER: Do you have any interests in antiques?
I think in the broader sense it's really fascinating.
Oh, yeah.
The history of objects and what they represent and stuff like that.
But as far as being in any way knowledgeable, no.
NARRATOR: Not to worry Clive, well, David loves a challenge.
DAVID HARPER: Let's see if we're on the same wavelength when it comes to things that we like then.
Yeah.
DAVID HARPER: So I'm stood next to this sofa.
I absolutely love it for a number of reasons, but what do you think?
CLIVE RUSSELL: That's a delicate feminine sofa, I'd say.
Yeah, it is.
And That's very pleasing.
I like to go to sleep on a sofa.
NARRATOR: I think that means he likes it.
DAVID HARPER: And if you like sleeping on sofas, can I just demonstrate something?
As tall as you are-- Yes, go on.
You could sleep on this.
Let me show you.
CLIVE RUSSELL: Go ahead.
DAVID HARPER: One arm, CLIVE RUSSELL: One arm, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
This, Clive, is a double armed drop on sofa.
You could recumbent.
I'm not going to lie on this.
Please do.
One moment, please.
I'll do it this way.
Yeah.
So you've got the pillow ready?
Oh, my God, that's fantastic.
How tall are you?
Somewhere 6'5", 6'6".
NARRATOR: Just a bit taller than David then.
Normally, they drop on just one, but this with a double drop is a really good feature.
CLIVE RUSSELL: I'm assuming it's a the Victorian, Edwardian?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, I think safe to say described as Edwardian.
NARRATOR: A sofa of this quality nowadays could cost you thousands of pounds.
Yeah, I think we should go for this.
NARRATOR: Time to call on dealer Steve.
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC] Nice trousers, Steve.
- You look so good-- - Color blindness.
--in what you're wearing.
- I'm colorblind too.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES] Now then, Edwardian sofa.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
Is it cheap?
STEVE: I've spoken to the vendor and he would be happy with somewhere around the 200 pound mark.
Uh, right?
It's going to kill us, Clive.
It needs to be 50 quid, and I don't want to be cruel-- No, no, no, I fully understand.
It has to be that for us to get it into sale.
I'll see the best I can do.
I mean, you said in 50 pounds, you haven't moved upwards yet.
50 to 70.
Tell him that sort of range.
STEVE: Right.
And it's a sale today, it might go in auction, you might not get a bid on it.
NARRATOR: David's taken the lead on this one, so it's now a waiting game.
Back with their rivals, Margie's onto something.
That is a coronation chair.
All right.
The coronation chair is in Westminster Abbey.
Yep.
And if it-- Oh, look if it was silver.
They fetch about 120 quid.
Well, it's not silver.
NARRATOR: Which is why its ticket price is just 10 pounds.
But what about the box Margie secreted away?
Busy man today, Steve.
We're just thinking, but we haven't decided about that box down there, the one with the printing thing.
It's a bit of a useless thing actually.
Awful nobody's going to want it.
STEVE: Is that you trying to get a discount?
[CHUCKLES] NARRATOR: Oh, yes.
Stand by.
STEVE: It's a lovely belt.
MARGIE COOPER: It is, yeah.
STEVE: Yeah.
TIM HEALY: What is it?
STEVE: It's on at 28.
MARGIE COOPER: Yeah.
It's a lot more money.
What are you looking at me for?
NARRATOR: Is the notorious Haggler Healy about to reveal himself?
TIM HEALY: I would have thought about 14.
14?
But it's 14 quid.
14?
Anything you see in Benidorm, you see how much is out of place.
NARRATOR: Certainly a tactic you could try.
STEVE: I can do 20.
So let's see, 16.
We've got-- [LAUGHS] BOTH: 16.
Well, are you sure you want it?
Yeah.
I'll have it for 16.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] Well done.
That's one thing we've got, that's good.
We're on the way.
NARRATOR: Well, that was quick.
So that's one in the old bag.
Oh, look out, Margie's on the warpath.
No access?
TIM HEALY: No access.
Well, we're not going to bother about that, right?
No access.
Let's go.
Quick.
Feel like a naughty schoolboy.
NARRATOR: Maverick Margie is leading Tim astray here.
Oh, crikey, Denise.
Denise my ex-wife, yes.
Oh, your ex.
And one of her scripts.
NARRATOR: In typical soap fashion.
You just never know when an ex-wife is going to pop up in a basement.
It's nice to see the old face.
[CHUCKLES] You'll get into trouble for that.
I don't mean the old face.
The familiar face.
Familiar.
NARRATOR: Watch it.
Clive and David are on the move again.
What period is that?
I think that's 1950s.
It reminds me of my childhood.
Does it?
These boxes particularly.
Dad comes home from work at 6 and we say, come on let's go have a picnic on the beach and have sandwiches.
But it's funny, isn't it, how an item an object can suddenly just take you back in time, what 50 years to when you were a kid?
- Yeah.
I think it's got you, hasn't it?
It's grabbed you, this thing, hasn't it?
Absolutely.
NARRATOR: Clive's found another item he loves.
Now all he needs to find is Steve.
What on Earth has happened to you?
The face of a grandmother clock just knocked me.
Well, you see the dangers of the antiques business.
[INAUDIBLE] are still standing there.
Well we want talk about this thing.
But first of all, let's cover the sofa.
STEVE: Would you go to 80?
Yes.
Sorry, I didn't consult you there.
You've done it, you've done it.
That's fine.
NARRATOR: Clive's quick to take control, but perhaps a bit quick to say yes.
Let's see if he can improve on the picnic hamper.
How much is it?
Well with a thermos missing I'll be looking for about 40 to 50 pounds.
CLIVE RUSSELL: It's a little bit scrubby, isn't it?
STEVE: It is.
It needs a [INAUDIBLE].
DAVID HARPER: It is damaged.
Down there, a little bit down there.
[INAUDIBLE] Yeah.
No.
You don't hang about you, Clive, do you?
No, I Iike it.
You're loading here.
[BOTH LAUGH] Mr. Nice Guy has gone.
CLIVE RUSSELL: So can you come down to something like 25 for that?
25 pound, there's a missing thermos.
It's a bit scrubby.
Yeah, I think that's reasonable.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Have you done another deal of late?
- Yeah.
- That's great.
Well in, Steve.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] Totally, totally.
Yeah, it's the Clive show.
Well, that's two things I really like we've got.
That's really, that's terrific.
NARRATOR: They're on a roll with two items in the bag for a grand total of 105 pounds.
Tim and Margie are still out of bounds, though.
Any bargains in the basement?
MARGIE COOPER: Ah.
Well, those look nice.
Yeah, they're silver.
Those are those-- Well, there's no silver mark, but it feels like silver to me.
There's a maker's mark.
NARRATOR: It's a traditional Scottish brooch that would hold tartan fabric in place.
Would have been in Edinburgh, of course.
Yeah.
So it might be quite popular, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's good it's got a-- it looks like silver.
Yeah.
But there's no marks telling us it is.
Right.
Let's just find out.
NARRATOR: Time to call on Steve again.
We quite like these.
I'm a bit worried that there's no silver mark, Steve.
Do you know if the-- They are definitely silver, I've had them tested.
NARRATOR: The owner is looking for around 100 pounds for the two brooches.
TIM HEALY: I was thinking 25 each.
[LAUGHTER] Would be about right, wouldn't it?
25 quid each?
NARRATOR: Look how Haggler Healy is back in action.
TIM HEALY: 30 quid then.
There, we're going up by five.
Well, look, there should be 100 pounds, and they should be.
I'll go to 80.
You still in with a good shout there.
Do you remember upstairs, when we saw that cheap little chair-- Oh, yeah.
MARGIE COOPER: --that was like a money ball.
TIM HEALY: It was-- yeah.
80 pounds and I'll throw the chair in.
I did you a real good deal on the box.
Well, she's 75.
Meet her halfway.
I haven't, I haven't primed him.
75.
I think it's only worth five that chair.
75 and a [INAUDIBLE].
77.50 pounds.
77.50.
Done.
OK. Well done.
[CHUCKLES] Steve, you deserve a kiss for that.
[KISSES] [LAUGHTER] You're not getting one.
NARRATOR: Oh, lordy, Tim strikes a hard bargain.
That's three items snapped up, 21 pounds for the box and throne, and 72 pounds 50p for the brooches, making Tim's total spend 93.50 pounds.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] BOTH: Hey!
- Hey big.
Hey, big fella.
- How's it going?
- Oh, it's going.
Very good.
Oh, we are very relaxed.
How about you two?
Yeah, we've had a great morning.
We have, yeah.
Have we?
Yeah, we've got a star purchase, haven't we?
Good for you.
Don't look at me like that, you've just got that little overconfident looking in you.
Does he?
You used to be so likeable.
Things have never changed.
Come on, let's go on.
Nice seeing you guys.
We'll follow you out.
There you go.
[JAZZ MUSIC] NARRATOR: Clive and David are back in the car.
Thankfully, it's brightened up.
[JAZZ MUSIC] I'm competing against somebody I know rather well, who beat me at golf.
[CHUCKLES] He's heading for a fall.
So we're going to try and beat them, then.
I think there's no point in coming out second best.
NARRATOR: Sounds like a man on a mission to me.
Now, in such a show like "Game of Thrones", that's a phenomena, isn't it?
Yes.
That is a completely one off in my life.
I've never been involved in anything with quite that visibility.
When I was chosen, the blogs were who the, who, who, who is this?
NARRATOR: Clive and David have crossed the border into Scotland and are heading to the small coastal town of Eyemouth, a seemingly tranquil fishing port, but Clive and David have come to learn about the brave community whose rebellious nature and fearless fishing practices led them to fall victim to one of the worst British fishing disasters of all time.
CLIVE RUSSELL: Hi.
PETER: Hello.
Hi, I'm Peter.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] I'm Clive.
Hello, Peter, David.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you very much for coming.
Welcome to Eyemouth Museum.
NARRATOR: In the 19th century, Eyemouth was a thriving fishing town, home to a fleet of 45 boats.
The whole community was involved in the industry.
[SOMBER MUSIC] PETER: This was the booming fishing port in Scotland.
And so through the 1860s and 1870s in particular, almost in every tide your family's from the Buchan headlands to the Cornish inlets arriving at Eyemouth to make a living.
NARRATOR: The fishermen of Eyemouth were notorious for braving the seas in all weathers.
PETER: There's at least a dozen occasions in the 1860s, 1870s leading up to 1881 when the Eyemouth fleet alone were the only fleet out that day.
They then came back with good catches, there was high prices because the market was empty of fish.
So they became used to taking risks.
NARRATOR: They also had a reputation for being a rebellious unruly bunch.
PETER: People wouldn't go to church, people didn't get married so much, they didn't really care.
Children were born out of wedlock, why did that matter?
Children didn't go to school.
Why would we send children to school when we need them on the boats?
We don't want to do that.
They're quite rebels, aren't they?
It's a town of rebels.
The wild east.
The wild east.
The ministers and the local counsel and the [INAUDIBLE],, they were virtually tearing the hero.
NARRATOR: Their anti-authoritarian attitude can be linked to a fallout with the church dating back to the 1840s.
PETER: The Church of Scotland suddenly realized that only at Eyemouth, they were entitled to demand a full 10% of the fishermen's earnings and something called the fish tithe.
And over the next 20 years or so, a row erupted.
At times it was a violent row, there were riots on the streets.
There was also quite sophisticated political pamphleting.
NARRATOR: Eventually, the Lord advocate intervened.
The church surrendered its claim to their catch and in return, a one off payment of 2000 pounds was issued.
PETER: That loan which they had to borrow money from the bank doesn't expire until 1878.
So that lost 30 years when other ports Anstruther, Wick, Peterhead, Fraserburgh, all these other places got substantial government money, Eyemouth got nothing.
NARRATOR: This meant that plans to improve the treacherous harbor entrance to make it accessible at all tides were never implemented, something that would have dire consequences on that fateful day on the 14th of October 1881.
PETER: But if you have a look at the stonework, you can see the original harbor wall.
It was deeply unsuited to the needs of the fishing industry, but it's what they had on October the 14th.
DAVID HARPER: So on that fateful day, where did it all go wrong?
Everybody knew that there was a storm coming, but one crew decided they wanted to go off.
And the important thing about the fleet here in Eyemouth was if one board decided to go, the entire fleet was by on our duty bound to follow, and that's what happened.
NARRATOR: What they didn't know was that Eyemouth was about to be hit by one of the worst storms of the 19th century.
PETER: The main boats had got out there about 12:00, 12:15, the others were just making up there.
They'd start to clean out their lanes to fish for the haddock, when everything seemed to stop for a moment.
And then suddenly, the hurricane broke with amazing rapidity.
Those boats which had seals up, the sails were ripped to shreds within minutes.
The other switch had got sails up with bare poles, they were rocked and tossed the boat and the entire fleet was scattered.
NARRATOR: The skippers of the boats had a choice try and get through the perilous rocks back to harbor or head out to sea and enter the eye of the storm.
PETER: From 19 boats, for 129 men, it was the wrong choice.
NARRATOR: Most boats that tried to re-enter the harbor were destroyed on the rocks in full view of the men's families.
CLIVE RUSSELL: And how long before the whole thing about who had died was resolved?
Was that weeks or days?
It did take several days.
The bulk of the boats which survived that day, 26 boats did survive.
Didn't attempt Eyemouth harbor, so boats were landing in Bridlington for a couple of days afterwards, and other parts of Yorkshire.
And other boats, one boat in particular, a boat called The Aerial Gazelle, two days after the disaster it managed to sail home into Eyemouth Bay.
The captain of The Aerial Gazelle said he felt heart sorrow as he climbed up the pier railings and onto the key sail, because he knew all the women that we're looking at we're going to be disappointed except for one, his own wife.
It was a terrible, terrible tragedy.
129 men were killed, yes, but there were 73 women widowed, and there were 263 children left without a father.
CLIVE RUSSELL: As somebody who's obviously got a direct family connection, how do you go forward with it?
How has that taken on?
As a child growing up and being given stories of Black Friday, which is what people on Eyemouth would refer to the disaster day as, I became fascinated with the story but also quite angry that history didn't accord a single footnote to this dreadful, dreadful thing.
It's important that people are aware of what happened, why it happened, and how this community won threw against all that adversity.
NARRATOR: It took over a century for the population levels of the community to recover.
Tourism has now taken over from fishing as Eyemouth's primary industry, and the town is once again a thriving hub.
The memory of the brave and maverick fisherman however, is still strong with those who live or have connections to the town just like Peter.
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC] Tim and Margie are traveling 15 miles west to visit the picturesque town of Duns.
MARGIE COOPER: This is your world, isn't it, this area.
TIM HEALY: Well-- A bit north.
This is what I call God's allotment, which is Northumberland.
I mean, it's just unspoiled, isn't it?
It's beautiful.
MARGIE COOPER: So Benidorm, my word.
It's my sixth year.
Sixth year?
Just finished and Oh, it's the best job.
NARRATOR: The word Duns is derived from the Gaelic word done, meaning fortress or hilltop.
TIM HEALY: Nice to meet you.
JOHN: Pleased to meet you.
Thanks for having us.
It's a pleasure.
NARRATOR: They're visiting Duns antique center, where they're meeting dealer John who's got a wealth of interesting wares on offer.
Speaking of which.
This came from a very, very old village just outside Duns, we just got it yesterday.
NARRATOR: Tim and Margie still have just over 300 pounds left to spend.
It's quite interesting, because garden ornaments do sell.
Boss.
All right.
As long as they're old.
But there's no price on it.
No, there's no price on it.
It's just literally in.
I was looking for 65 on it.
TIM HEALY: What?
65 for a little rock?
Ah, but it's a carved lump of old rock.
Rock, 65 quid?
No.
Well, I was going to suggest 12 quid when I first saw it.
You thought 12.
- Well, shall we have a little-- - [INAUDIBLE] We'll have a little-- JOHN: Right?
We'll have a pow wow in the back.
Lovely.
Thank you very much.
Have we fallen out with this?
[CHUCKLES] Not at all.
NARRATOR: Honestly, we're not in Benidorm now Tim.
Luckily, John is thick skinned.
Is this for fishing?
It is.
It's-- Yeah for one salmon fishing pole, yes?
It's a wade and staff.
Yeah.
Yes.
With some good edge to it as well.
How old is this?
Probably around the 1900s.
NARRATOR: It's a bamboo and steel wading stick used to help fishermen across slippery surfaces and to check the water depth.
You can also remove the end and put a landing net on it.
Any names on it or anything that gives it's anything a bit special.
I think the top could possibly be Hardy.
What's the little price on that?
Thought maybe something like 18 pounds on it.
Which you know for fishing-- Lots of the big [INAUDIBLE],, aren't we?
And you've got something here.
JOHN: That's a Hardy rod, yes.
I know that things like this can be interesting.
NARRATOR: Hardy's is a prestigious brand of fishing equipment that has been around since the 19th century.
The fishing rod is priced at 40 pounds and the wading stick is 18.
And there's also that stone birdbath, remember.
MARGIE COOPER: So what would be the absolute minimum on that?
I could do 35.
I'll be happy with 30.
We're going to carry on that.
I'll be happy with 30.
JOHN: You'll be happy with 30, would you?
Yeah.
Shake my hand.
- Oh, cool.
- Good lad.
Good lad [INTERPOSING VOICES] 30 quid for a lump of rock with a bird on.
And not the right type of bird.
NARRATOR: Tim is yet again focused on the deal, his method seems to be working.
We bought one thing.
TIM HEALY: That's good, that's fine.
So we're going to carry on our way?
Excuse me, those are my sunglasses.
Well-- well I thought they were mine.
Sorry.
No, just put them [INAUDIBLE] Do you want your watch back?
[CHUCKLES] NARRATOR: Honestly, you can't take him anywhere.
What's Margie spotted now?
MARGIE COOPER: We've got a horse's hoof, some deer horse.
Horse that somebody decided to take his hoof up and make it into an inkwell, which is quite common.
It's Edinburgh silver and it's 1891.
Yeah.
It's quite good.
Horse people would go for that.
Usually they have the name of the horse or pony on.
It's a memory.
- It's a memory.
[INAUDIBLE] TIM HEALY: I've never seen something like that before.
It would have been Edinburgh silver.
Yeah, yeah.
We're all going to Edinburgh, aren't we?
So shall we get John back?
Yeah.
Give him another headache.
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES] NARRATOR: Its ticket price is a hefty 125 pounds.
John, are you-- are you free?
NARRATOR: But is John willing to do another discount?
JOHN: Do you want to make an offer or do you want-- what would you like to do?
NARRATOR: Lord, you don't ask him that.
Well what can you give it for if I take that.
Yeah.
Wading staff.
Well, what about-- [INAUDIBLE] Well, what about the-- Yeah.
Inkwell, the rod, Hardy rod, and the wade and staff-- Yeah --for 110.
There seems a lot of money to me, I was thinking about 70.
80.
77 and a half.
- OK then.
- Great.
Done.
I have been.
Thank you very much.
We got there in the end.
We did, we did.
NARRATOR: Haggler Healy strikes again.
40 pounds for the inkwell and 18.75 each for the waiting stick and the fishing rod.
That makes Tim's total spend 107.50 pounds.
After all that wheeler dealering, it must be time for some shut eye, so nighty night.
[JAZZ MUSIC] A new day has dawned, but has Clive finally mastered the left hand drive?
TIM HEALY: Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
NARRATOR: Apparently not?
CLIVE RUSSELL: Your own chauffeur.
It's a classic car, Classic car.
Only a few inches from the-- Terrified.
CLIVE RUSSELL: I'm really looking forward to today.
I'm assuming that you're feeling very confident now after you're buying.
Well, I am actually.
Yeah, you've got that look.
I am actually, yeah.
Just on the edge of overconfidence.
TIM HEALY: Well, we'll have to wait and see, won't we?
CLIVE RUSSELL: I'm in good hands with David, though.
He's really, really good.
Yeah.
And so is Margie.
NARRATOR: Gosh, they're even competitive over who's expert is best.
Speaking of which.
DAVID HARPER: How's Tim?
Oh, he's lovely, he really is.
He's lovely and he's pretty good.
He's got this tough north you know, Geordie bit.
Yeah.
He goes-- Well, no, I was thinking 77.50 pounds.
You know if it's 18, we got two deals and 77.50 pounds.
Clive is loving it, and Clive is lovely to me, incredibly clever, and has a great sophistication that comes out when he's looking at objects.
NARRATOR: Oh, a budding bromance.
Yesterday Clive was a willing student and bought two items he loved.
An Edwardian double drop arm sofa and a 1950s picnic box.
It reminds me of my childhood.
Does it?
NARRATOR: They spent 105 pounds.
Tim unveiled more of a love of haggling than antiques.
Anything you see in Benidorm, you say, how much is that?
Your trough price.
NARRATOR: And picked up six items for 210 pounds.
A mahogany printing box and miniature coronation throne, two silver brooches, a bird in a bath.
30 quid for a lump of rock.
NARRATOR: And finally, a Victorian hoof inkwell and fishing rod with wading stick.
[ENGINE REVVS] DAVID HARPER: I hear a Mustang.
That is a Mustang.
Oh, look at that.
Looking cool.
MARGIE COOPER: Very cool.
Good morning, Tim.
DAVID HARPER: Good morning.
Gorgeous, isn't it?
Isn't it better, isn't it?
[KISSES] - Nice to see you.
- You're with me.
- I'm with you.
Yeah.
NARRATOR: Our couples are heading North this morning to Scotland's capital, the beautiful city of Edinburgh.
CLIVE RUSSELL: Go David, go.
NARRATOR: Clive and David are traveling to the suburb of Newington.
CLIVE RUSSELL: I'm really looking forward to today, but Haggler Healy is.
[LAUGHS] I've heard about Haggler Healy.
He works in 50 pence.
[LAUGHTER] CLIVE RUSSELL: Haggler he'll inevitably is kind of spooky.
NARRATOR: You're not the only one, Clive.
You're 6'6" and you are an imposing figure, so that's something to celebrate.
CLIVE RUSSELL: I think the truth is that my physicality has been the secret to my longevity.
In the same way that Tim is being a small pugnacious looking at.
DAVID HARPER: Yeah.
[LAUGHTER] NARRATOR: Don't let Tim hear you say that.
Clive and David are visiting Anteaques, a traditional tea house which also specializes in antiques.
Meeting them today is [FRENCH] Cedric.
DAVID HARPER: This is a very posh tearoom.
Good morning.
DAVID HARPER: Good morning.
NARRATOR: Clive still got just under 300 pounds left to spend.
Any tactics today, boys?
DAVID HARPER: Now we're going into an auction so we want to be taking something that-- That people want to buy.
NARRATOR: What a good idea?
DAVID HARPER: And that maybe they haven't seen, so we need to be finding the extraordinarily different.
You think very well as my big brother.
NARRATOR: I'm not sure big is the correct word.
CLIVE RUSSELL: I don't want to lose.
No, no.
Do I?
No.
No, you don't.
No.
Mustn't show it.
No, don't tell anybody, but I don't want to lose either, right?
OK. NARRATOR: I won't tell a soul.
Not that anyone has been particularly quiet about wanting to win.
DAVID HARPER: I've spotted something that I quite like.
Do you like the aesthetically pleasing?
Yeah.
I'll have to try.
I'm going to quiz you.
Now, what do you think they might be?
They hold something down.
It's a rest for cutlery.
Are you kidding?
- No, it's a knife rest.
- Seriously?
Yeah.
CLIVE RUSSELL: They've got a full set there.
Full set there.
But I just see the name on the box which is very exciting.
Daum.
Ah.
French glass makers incredibly upmarket, very posh.
NARRATOR: It's quite rare to find this object in its original packaging, and that will add to the value significantly.
I'm getting ridiculously excited about it.
NARRATOR: Time to call on Cedric.
We're very interested in these.
I think they're very, very lovely.
You have good taste.
CLIVE RUSSELL: What kind of price are you talking for that.
CEDRIC: The best price I could do for you on the set of 12 is complete and the all in perfect condition.
DAVID HARPER: It's a big build up by the way.
It's 90 pounds.
NARRATOR: Sacre bleu!
CLIVE RUSSELL: I was thinking 60.
You're thinking 60?
I was.
Hmm.
Right, OK. - OK, thank you very much.
- That's it.
- You're welcome.
- Thank you.
You have done it.
Clive, I think that was beautifully done.
Yeah.
I would have given you anything.
But you know, I'm sorry about him.
Honestly, he's awful.
I can't take [INAUDIBLE].
You complete ratbag.
NARRATOR: For 60 pounds, Clive is now the proud owner of 12 Daum crystal knife holders in their original box.
There's still plenty more to uncover, Cedric.
DAVID HARPER: I've spotted this box here.
Most people watching this will be screaming, well, that's just a boring old plain black box, but to me actually, I find that incredibly exciting.
Because?
Because it is a late 19th century piano box, there's no doubt about it, very Sherlock Holmes from that kind of period.
But the most exciting thing for me is the fact that, that material without any shadow of a doubt is original.
If you bend down, have a feel of that and look at that, it's a fake leather, something called rexine that was invented during the 19th century.
And most pieces of furniture that were made in wreck scene have been re upholstered several times.
NARRATOR: It also has a maker's mark for Morrison and Co of Edinburgh, who were a very high end cabinet making company in the 19th century.
As a historic thing, it's of museum quality because it's in its original material.
But you know what, ruthlessly, it has to be cheap.
Got to be 20, 30 quid?
DAVID HARPER: Cedric.
You found something else?
We have.
I told you, you have good, good taste.
- Do you like it?
- Oh, yeah.
I love it.
- Do you?
Actually used to be mine.
Is it cheap?
It's affordable.
OK. How affordable?
How affordable?
I could do 100 pounds for you.
What do you think, Clive, over to you.
40 pounds.
DAVID HARPER: Oh, he's gone up, he's gone up.
40?
I know it's ridiculous.
Up from what?
NARRATOR: Well, at least Cedric is still laughing.
I said 20, he goes 40.
No chance.
Is that how you say, nothing, nay chance?
[LAUGHTER] NARRATOR: We like you Cedric.
Cedric, can I ask.
There's bits and pieces of old silver plate and stuff, is the box complete?
Do we get everything that's in it?
This get worse and worse.
[LAUGHS] And everything else?
[LAUGHTER] If-- can you make it 50?
I'd like to do a deal at 50.
It's yours.
DAVID HARPER: Clive, beautifully done.
[LAUGHTER] You're so tall.
NARRATOR: That been noted, Clive, good bit of negotiating.
NARRATOR: Yep, he's certainly getting better.
For 110 pounds, Clive now has two more items under his belt and a cuddle from an incredibly charming Frenchman.
Thanks very much.
Pleasure doing business with you.
- Likewise.
- Thank you.
Thank you again, Cedric.
[JAZZ MUSIC] NARRATOR: Tim and Margie are back on the road chatting about Tim's time as part of the Parachute Regiment in the territorial army.
MARGIE COOPER: What made you want to do that?
TIM HEALY: I was working as an apprentice welder, and I hated every minute of it.
And I got so bored I joined the two year, and it gave me the confidence to throw the gear down at work one day and I just walked out.
I walked out and I went to Durham Technical College and said I'm going to be an actor.
And of course, in those days everybody thought you were mad there weren't any working class actors.
Right.
God, that was brilliant.
NARRATOR: And the rest, as they say, is history.
Tim and Margie are also en route to Edinburgh and the area of Craig Lockhart.
This was once home to the Craig Lockhart War hospital, which during the First World War pioneered the treatment of shellshock, an undiagnosed mental illness similar to PTSD.
Given his military training, this should be of particular interest to Tim.
- It's nice to see you.
- Nice to see you.
- I'm Katherine Walker.
- I'm Tim.
Hi.
I'm Margie Cooper.
Hi, good morning.
What a wonderful day.
It's beautiful.
NARRATOR: Craig Lockhart was built in 1880 and was originally a hydropathic, a sort of spa hotel.
KATHRYN WALKER: It was taken over by the war office as a hospital for shellshocked officers in 1916.
Shellshock, as it was commonly known, was a term that the military didn't really like.
So in our admissions book it's always neurasthenia, which is like a kind of a war exhaustion, a war neurosis.
NARRATOR: Bombs, tanks, and machine guns changed the machinery of war and the injuries they inflicted, not just physically, but also mentally.
Shellshock had never been formally treated or even recognized before the First World War.
So what were-- actually are the symptoms of shellshock as it was called then.
The Symptoms were quite unique, and in some cases, those walking against an imaginary wind, mutism, where people just wouldn't speak, paralysis, sometimes of legs or arms, sometimes it was stammering, bad dreams, hallucinations, migraines.
So there was quite a variety of symptoms.
NARRATOR: Another effect of shellshock were nightmares and insomnia.
At night the men would pace the hallway smoking.
KATHRYN WALKER: These were phoned up a chimney.
And so, for example, the cigarette packet which dates back to the time of the war hospital is very typical of the men's reactions at night, and smoking was actually banned in the building even then.
NARRATOR: The number of people leaving the front with symptoms of shellshock increased but it was still not classified as a serious illness, and the military were anxious to ensure that they were returned to combat as soon as possible.
As a result, hospitals like Craig Lockhart were created.
TIM HEALY: What treatments were there doing these guys to get them back on the front line?
Well, at Craig Lockhart there were two distinctly different treatments.
One was by Doctor Brock, and his treatment was called ergo therapy.
And what he wanted to do was reconnect the officers to things they would have been familiar with and comfortable with.
So he would send you out to perhaps to the town and you could teach at a school or help in an engineering work or help on a farm.
NARRATOR: The other practice used by Doctor Rivers specialized more in psychoanalysis and dream therapies.
TIM HEALY: I suppose this was a very new thing at the time, because it sounds almost like treatment that we would advise nowadays, this for ahead.
So it must have been the very start of that then.
Yes, I suppose it must have been.
NARRATOR: Another thing Doctor Brock encouraged was creative writing.
A magazine was founded here allowing patients a creative cathartic outlet.
So it was a very kind of professional publication, wasn't it?
- Yes, it was.
MARGIE COOPER: Was it done in house?
KATHRYN WALKER: It was published by Pilans and Wilson who were based in Edinburgh.
Yeah, it was put together very professionally.
NARRATOR: The magazine's success was greatly aided by the presence of two very famous writers.
KATHRYN WALKER: Wilfred Owen, the great poet edited six copies of the "Hydra", and Siegfried Sassoon, who was here at the same time.
MARGIE COOPER: Really?
And they got friends here.
[INAUDIBLE] Yes.
NARRATOR: Decorated war hero Sassoon ended up at Craig Lockhart after he wrote his statement against the war, it was read out in parliament.
To avoid being court-martialed, his friend convinced the review board that Sassoon had shell shock.
KATHRYN WALKER: I'm a soldier convinced that I am acting on behalf of soldiers.
NARRATOR: Owen was admitted as he was traumatized from fierce fighting and had been trapped for days next to the dead body of a fellow officer.
KATHRYN WALKER: It was really important for these men to talk about what they'd seen and to communicate their feelings through their poetry.
Here's a modern edition of Wilfred Owen's poetry, which includes Dulce et Decorum est, one of the very famous poems written by him while he was at Craig Lockhart.
Yeah.
[INAUDIBLE] My friends you would not tell with such high zest to children ardent for some desperate glory.
The old lie: Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori.
Which means?
It is sweet and fit to die for one's country.
It is sweet and fit to die for one's country.
That says it all, doesn't it?
NARRATOR: Wilfred Owen was sent back to the trenches.
He died one week before the end of the war.
Sassoon survived his return to fighting and lived to a grand old age of 81.
Shell shock and the innovative treatments received here at Craig Lockhart were influential in changing how mental illness was viewed and helped lay the foundations for a more humane treatment of the mentally ill. CLIVE RUSSELL: Do you remember the old steam trains?
DAVID HARPER: I do.
CLIVE RUSSELL: Do you?
Yeah, I grew up on steam trains.
Clive and David have made their way to South Queensferry on the Southern banks of the firth of forth.
The fourth railway bridge, an iconic Scottish landmark, was built between 1883 and 1890.
It has recently been named a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Clive and David are visiting Sea Kist antiques, and meeting owner Jenny.
Hello.
Hi, there.
Hi, there.
NARRATOR: Clive's still got 185 pounds left to spend, but where to first?
Shall we go rummaging then?
Yeah.
I'll go rummaging there, you go rummaging there.
Oh, you're send me packing, are you?
All right, we'll rummage together.
All right, good.
That's more like it.
Shall I go first?
Do you want to go first?
No, you go first.
I'll go first.
They're like a comedy double act, these two.
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC] We're not really a nautical film, are we?
No, we weren't thinking of being nautical It could be nautical but nice.
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC] I thought that was really good.
Really?
Yeah.
NARRATOR: Let's scrap that double act idea, shall we?
Is there a market for these kind of things, like bits of boats.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah bits of boats are good news.
I've got to say, architectural kind of things.
What about that thing there?
The propeller?
Well, I mean feel the weight of that.
Oh, my god.
Isn't that fantastic?
It really is.
It's amazing, and the shape.
And it's worn as well.
That's knocked off it.
Yeah.
It's a functioning thing.
Look at the way that it's constructed, that is not a mass produced thing.
Look, it's almost raw, isn't it?
NARRATOR: Ticket price is 55 pounds.
At an auction in Edinburgh's port, a nautical themed item could be a good bet.
I think that's bronze.
Rings like a bell, doesn't it?
He's getting excited here, Jenny, I can sense it.
This is a worrying situation, this is very worrying.
No, it's good.
NARRATOR: Clive's been drawn in hook, line, and sinker, but is Jenny willing to do a deal?
Let's be honest, that was chucked away.
So its value is tricky.
I could let that go for 30.
I think that would give you a chance.
Probably scrap value.
What would that go as an estimate in auction, I think?
20 to 30?
Possibly, possibly, yeah.
I think 20 quid ish would be good, and there's a possibility of a profit.
But what do you feel?
20 ish.
How near 20 ish could you get?
Ish is sounding good, yeah.
25?
That's a deal.
NARRATOR: As always, Clive is quick to accept a deal.
Lovely, thank you very much.
NARRATOR: Now, Tim would have probably asked to have the boat thrown in for free too.
Speaking of the devil, Tim and Margie are still in Edinburgh and in Newington.
They're visiting Courtyard Antiques, a real treasure trove.
Good enough.
Wow.
Probably a typical antique shop.
That's the size of a real one, innit?
Yeah.
NARRATOR: Tim's got 199 pounds left to spend.
Trying to win, trying to beat that David and Clive team.
NARRATOR: Does Lewis have anything to add to their previous purchases?
What is that?
You could use that for tying flowers.
You would hold them in these grips here and then and then wrap them through.
Oh, gosh.
So what would that cost?
Normally I would ask 25 pounds for that, but you could have it for 10.
That's a thought that could go with our wading stick.
NARRATOR: It's certainly a possibility, but there's more to scout.
I'd like to go upstairs if possible.
If you-- OK. You see that [INAUDIBLE].
[LAUGHS] NARRATOR: Hey, steady.
- Tim.
- Yep.
Feast your eyes.
Blimey.
It's good in here, isn't it?
Huge innit?
Really good in here.
NARRATOR: With such a variety, perhaps a guiding hand is needed here.
I know what we can look at, fishing scales.
Fishing scales.
For weighing your cat.
TIM HEALY: All right.
They're nice.
Well, how much is a little trifle like that?
15.
15?
NARRATOR: Here we go.
If you could do that under a magnifying glass for 15 quid, would you be happy with that?
I thought you were going to say 20, that made sense.
That would have actually made sense.
No.
Well, I'm keeping out of this.
17.
I'm keeping stump, this is your deal.
17, you've got a deal.
NARRATOR: Look out Lewis, he's moving in for a handshake.
OK, good man.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
How am I still messing up?
Am I-- No, man of few words.
I think that's-- Thanks Lewis.
We've got a lot now.
NARRATOR: And then some.
Tim adds this to his lot of fishing rods and wading stick, and with that their shopping is complete.
Time to catch up with the other team and reveal all their wares.
Well, how are you two feeling?
Very good, very good.
- Quite happy.
- A little nervous.
Little nervous.
What you nervous about?
What's he nervous about?
Haggler Healy is what I'm nervous about.
NARRATOR: No I need to be nervous, Clive.
That's quite a lot to reveal.
Oh, my God.
There we go.
Well there's a knife for us.
Yes.
- No, well spotted.
- Oh, dear.
I could never sell these.
Put a knife on, yeah.
What do you mean you could never sell those?
[INAUDIBLE] Is it because you're rubbish at selling things?
Is this Tupperware?
Yes.
Then we've got a propeller.
Is this part of the hotel orgy?
[LAUGHTER] And then we have a late 19th century, effectively it's a duet stilt, piano stilt.
Well, we don't all have huge bottoms.
[LAUGHTER] Yeah.
It's a very good maker, and in its original fabric, the rexine.
Yes.
All right.
NARRATOR: But what about Tim and Margie's buys?
1, 2, 3.
My gosh, that's a heavy birdbath.
Isn't it?
Is it stone?
Yeah, it is, and it's from an estate.
You've left the price tag off, yeah.
No.
No, no, that's a little-- A bird dropping.
Bird poop.
[LAUGHTER] Right.
We did a little fishing, we did parts, though.
Yeah, OK.
Right.
And that's for tiny flies.
That's for tiny flies.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, right.
[LAUGHTER] - This is rather nice.
- Yes, this is good.
Is it?
[INTERPOSING VOICES] No, 1891 Edinburgh.
Is it plated?
No, it is not.
It's silver.
Solid silver, Edinburgh.
1891.
What did you pay for that?
40 pounds.
Well, that's going to double its money.
We've got a lovely pair.
Are they plated?
No, they're silver.
Solid silver.
What's all this about?
Yeah, Yeah.
What, are you nervous?
I'm really nervous now.
That is a rather nice box which held some kind of printing equipment.
The queen's chair.
No, this is a coronation chair.
Coronation chair.
Well, it's a six piggy bank.
NARRATOR: All very cordial so far.
- Right, good luck.
- We'll see you at the auction.
- Thank you.
- See you there.
NARRATOR: But what did they really think of each other's purchases?
CLIVE RUSSELL: There are two very different sets of things to be sold.
I think it's even Stevens.
I was impressed with their stuff.
I've got to say, I was as well.
I reckon-- We've got-- We could have the edge.
Oh, that's fantastic, don't you think?
I think so.
Would you swap any of ours for any of theirs?
No.
No, I'm t-- No, I'm not going there.
Really?
Me neither.
Right, so we're still confident?
I am!
- Yeah, I feel quite confident.
- Good.
And I've really enjoyed it.
Good, so have I.
See you at the auction.
I'll see you at the auction, darling.
- Bye, sweetheart.
- See you.
Safe journey home.
Yeah.
[MUSIC PLAYING] NARRATOR: So it's off to auction in Leith, an area famously home to the five star royal yacht Britannia.
And today, the boys are having a shot in the Jensen.
[MUSIC PLAYING] CLIVE RUSSELL: How are you feeling about this?
Me, I'm really excited, what about you?
I'm quite nervous to be honest.
I'm really pleased with what we bought, but I've really no idea.
TIM HEALY: I bet you would have bought me the rock.
The rock?
It's just a piece of rock.
[LAUGHS] With a bird stuck on the top.
The bird's is going to be the-- somebody is going to buy it because of the bird.
TIM HEALY: What about your rare settee.
CLIVE RUSSELL: Oh, I love that.
I have no idea whether it will sell, but just really intriguing the idea that the thing's come down.
It's going to be quite interesting.
I think probably in the heat of it all happening, it could get a little bit, what's the word?
- Nasty.
- Nasty.
NARRATOR: I guess we'll soon find out.
You're looking remarkably chipper and confident.
No, I think we're going to have a good day.
I do as well, actually.
I think I might win.
NARRATOR: Perhaps not nasty, but definitely smug.
Oh, here we are.
Good morning.
Hello, darling.
How are you?
How are you?
[INTERPOSING VOICES] Come on.
Right.
Margie, David's got your slacks on.
[LAUGHS] Very nice.
And we love these coloured slacks.
Very nice.
They're all blue, aren't they?
NARRATOR: Today at Ramsey Cornish Auctioneers and Valuers, our celebs antiques are for sale online, on the phone, and in the room.
Wielding the gavel or other burrow today is Martin Cornish.
The one item I'm not so keen on is the bread scene picnic case.
We don't get much good weather in Scotland, so it's something that's not so popular.
I think the two items that are probably going to hit high prices are the two plate brooches, their beautiful condition.
I think in Scotland those are something that will sell really well.
NARRATOR: Wheeler dealer Tim and Margie went on a haggling frenzy, picking up 5 lots.
They spent a total of 218 pounds.
Clive and his new best bud spent 240 pounds.
Clive was eager to learn and bought just five items, all of which he loved.
Speaking of which, first up it's his propeller.
DAVID HARPER: It looks like a piece of artwork.
It does.
Yeah.
It's very nice in a garden.
[LAUGHTER] 50 to start it quickly.
50 on bid.
55, 65, 75, 85, 95, 100.
Your bid in the back, 100.
Oh, that's the bad stuff right there.
At 100, last call.
100.
Very good.
Thank you so much mother.
Well done.
[LAUGHTER] NARRATOR: What an incredible start to today's auction.
Next up is Clive's nostalgic 1950s picnic set.
20 pounds and bid for the Brexton picnic case, at 20 pounds 22, 24.
24, in the back, 24, 26, at 26.
In front at 26.
Whoa.
Done well.
Done very well.
He's storming out.
Really good.
NARRATOR: That is a loss after auction costs.
Let's hope Haggler Healy's as smug after his first lot, the mahogany box and miniature coronation throne.
30 for the two, 20 for them.
20 and bid.
25, 30, 35, 40, 45, go on.
45 in the very back.
At 45, at 50.
At 50 pounds.
Standing at 50 in the room, at 50 on the internet at 50.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] Thank you very much.
Thanks very much.
Well done.
Well done.
NARRATOR: A very good start, well done.
Contends collection of fishing paraphernalia land another win.
40 pounds and bid for the 55, 60.
It's going, it's going.
Hardy's are brilliant.
65, 75, 80.
80 pounds on the internet.
At 80 pounds.
- A bit more.
- Yeah.
Come on.
85, 85.
Withdraw the bid.
At 85, against you at 85.
Another offer's now at 85.
Well done.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] Yeah.
No, that's good.
Good profit, good margin.
NARRATOR: Absolutely brilliant, I'd say another great profit.
I think this is going to be a close one.
Time for Clive's music box.
50 to start it.
50, 50 and bid.
50 pounds 55, 65, 75, 85, 95, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180.
180.
180.
I know.
It isn't finished yet.
180, last call.
Done.
- Wow!
You did real good.
Oh.
That was a blow.
It is a blow, isn't it?
A blow.
NARRATOR: Hey, Tim's not looking too happy.
But great news for Clive, as he's more than tripled his money.
Now it's Clive's crystal knife rests.
Let's lob this.
In immaculate condition, All signed.
30 for them to start them.
30, you'll add a bit of glamour to your dining table.
30, 20 to start then.

At 65.
On the right, standing at 65.
New case.
One more would be nice.
At 65.
Just go on, you know you want them.
At 65, that's it.
It's hard to make profit on paper.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] - Oh, no.
No, no, no.
What did you give him?
60.
60.
NARRATOR: Competition is getting rather fierce.
So far, Tim's been rather quiet, but will his bargain basement silver brooches brighten him up?
And I can start the bidding at 100 pounds.
There you go, either way.
100 pounds.
110, 120, 130, 140, 150.
At 150.

Last call, and I'm selling them.
Duff, 150.
Very, very, very, good.
Well done.
You can relax now.
Next, one for-- [INTERPOSING VOICES] [LAUGHTER] NARRATOR: Just as Martin predicted, another item that's more than doubled its money.
Tim's next item was a bit of a gamble.
It's his Victorian hoof inkwell with silver top.
What should we start the bidding at?
80 pounds to get it going.
80 and bid.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] 85 on internet, 90 with me.
90, 95, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150.
Somebody wants it.
150, For the horn.
160, 170, 180, 180.
Go on, say this trotting off or something.
180, last call.
And worth it.
Well done.
Tim, well done.
Well done.
Tim's purchase.
Is that Tim's purchase?
Is that Tim's purchase?
You're getting smug.
Look at him now.
He's come alive now.
NARRATOR: That incredible profit sure has woken Tim up and pushed him into the lead.
Will his Victorian birdbath help maintain the winning streak?
50 to start it.
50 and bid.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] 55, 65, 75, 85, 95, nobody else going at 95, 95, 100.
- Oh.
- Oh.
At 100.
Last call, and I'm selling it at 100.
Well done.
Yes!
How you feeling, big fella?
I'm feeling like that was wrong.
At every level, that was wrong.
Shouldn't have happened.
NARRATOR: Yep, the big fella's not happy at all.
Tim has a good lead but the competition now rides on Clive's final item, his double drop end settee.
50 pounds and bid.
55, 65, 70.
At 70 pounds for the sofa.
It's a good margin.
At 75.
No.
At 70.
Can't be.
Last call at 70 pounds, nobody else at 70?
All the things, of all the things.
Yes!
I'm so sorry.
Yes!
I'm disappointed for you.
[INAUDIBLE] four nil.
Four nil?
No, one nil.
NARRATOR: Gosh, what a shame.
Clive loved that sofa, but who has come out on top?
Cheers.
Well done guys.
I'm so pleased for you.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] It was really good.
It was dreadful.
NARRATOR: It's been a competitive road trip with both teams starting with 400 pounds.
Clive and David made an impressive profit of 121 pounds and 62 pence, leaving after auction costs are deducted with 521 pounds and 62 pence.
Tim and Margie however, emerged victorious with 245 pounds and 30 Pence profit, leaving them after costs with a whopping 645 pounds and 30 pence.
Well done champs.
All profits go, of course, to children in need.
That was phenomenal.
That really is phenomenal.
Margie, you're brilliant.
You're brilliant.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] Congrats, well done.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
I've loved every minute of it.
It's been a delight, Clive.
Thank you so much.
Thank you very much.

OK, bye!
Seven liter motor, here we go.
[JAZZ MUSIC] [ENGINE REVVING] Bye!
Bye!
Love you!
CLIVE RUSSELL: Well, that was just fantastic.
I was really enjoying it.
Wasn't it?
So did I, all week.
It's been a laugh for gas.
It's been a laugh, it's been such a surprise.
Yeah.
[INAUDIBLE] Yeah.
And meeting you.
And meeting you again after all this time.
After 60 years.
[CHUCKLES] Brilliant.
Well done you.
NARRATOR: But I'm both, or should I say, I've vetoed same pets.
