VO: The nation's favorite celebrities...

There's a fact for you.

VO: ..paired up with an expert... We're like a girl band!

VO: ..and a classic car.

Give it some juice, Myrie, give it some juice.

VO: Their mission - to scour Britain for antiques.

I'm brilliant at haggling.

Who knew?

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

I can't believe that!

VO: But it's no easy ride.

What's that smell?

The clutch!

VO: Who will find a hidden gem?

That's very art deco, innit?

VO: Take the biggest risk?

It's half toy, it's half furniture.

VO: Will anybody follow expert advice?

That's irrelevant.

VO: There will be worthy winners... VO: ..and valiant losers.

No!

VO: Put your pedal to the metal.

Woohoo!

(BOTH LAUGH) VO: This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip!

Nice!

VO: Today's star-spangled spree features one awfully large automobile and two very excited celebrities.

Road Trip!

Yeah.

PHILIPPA (PP): Please keep co-driving... cuz I am not used to a car A, this wide... Hey, stop!

Ooh.

Keep on the road!

PP: Agh!

VO: At the wheel is top psychotherapist Philippa Perry and in charge of the off-side, her pal, the super duper supermodel Jerry Hall.

JERRY: This car is made to drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas at 130 miles an hour.

PP: Do you mind if we do Great Missenden to Wendover instead, darling?

At 20 miles an hour.

PP: Yeah, at 20 miles an hour.

VO: Jerry, from Texas, has been cover girl, artist's muse and actor in her long and fabulous career.

PP: Are you competitive, Jerry?

Just with gin rummy and croquet.

(BOTH LAUGH) Competitive and bad at everything, that's me.

And so talented!

At writing books.

VO: Yes.

Londoner Philippa is not only a best selling author, but she is a renowned psychotherapist too.

Oooh!

PP: Jerry, we met at parties, didn't we?

cuz we're party girls!

We used to be party girls.

We always have a laugh, don't we?

I always stood next to you at those art parties... cuz you were the most fun.

VO: Our buddies in the Buick Boattail will have £400 each, and expert advice from the fellas in that sleek 1970s E-Type.

I'm loving the length of this bonnet.

I don't know quite where it ends.

CHARLES (CH): If you... TIM: A smooth operator, just like yourself.

Yeah.

VO: But are Tim Medhurst from Dorset and Derby's own Charles Hanson just a little bit in awe of the celebrity world they're about to enter?

Well of course, we're meeting two greats.

We are.

Icons... CH: Two great ladies.

I wonder how they'll take us, you and I. TIM: Humble antique hunters.

CH: Humble antique hunters.

I'm going to play it quite cool, I think.

Will you give it some American twang?

TIM: Hi.

CH: Hey, I'm Tim... Hi, Jerry.

CH: Hey, I'm Timbo.

TIM: Hi.

VO: Never fear.

Back in the Buick, that feeling is very much mutual.

So excited about meeting the experts!

Me too.

I'm a bit starstruck.

Watch out!

That way, that way.

Left, left, left.

Slow down.

Slow down.

VO: The home counties hoedown will take them towards Oxfordshire and Berkshire, but they begin in Bucks, at Wendover.

There's also one in Utah, apparently.

I wonder if that has such nice antique shops.

Doubt it!

JERRY: How exciting!

A shop!

Car, Jerry.

JERRY: That's for you to drive.

PP: Me?

Definitely.

Yeah.

Oh, how exciting.

VO: Now, time to track down those experts also at your disposal.

What does he think he is?

David Bailey!

Oh, work it.

Work it, Jerry.

JERRY: Hey, Tim!

You've seen a few of these in your time.

Yeah.

Oh, it's lovely to meet you, and...

I'm such a fan.

Oh, good!

Well, antiques.

Are you a fan of antiques?

JERRY: Yes.

TIM: Excellent.

I am.

Em, I know a little bit, but this is exciting.

Good.

Well, now I've found out that you are a big fan of antiques, I'll let you lead the way... Well, a little, a little.

VO: One down.

And there's the other.

PP: Aha!

CH: It's very nice to meet you.

Very nice to meet you too.

CH: Get out of here.

(LAUGHS) So tell me, what's your passion?

PP: I like a bit of patina.

CH: Yeah.

I like a bit of something where you can see someone's handled it and that's added to its beauty... CH: Yeah.

PP: ..and its story.

But what I really like is profit.

Come on!

Let's do it!

CH: Come on.

PP: Let's hunt.

VO: Tally ho!

There's no doubt who's in charge here.

TIM: You've got the whole world in your hands.

That's right.

I love a globe.

It's probably what we would class as vintage now, isn't it?

It's 1980s.

I know, I think it's pretty... Yeah.

Now you've globetrotted, haven't you?

I've been everywhere.

I left home when I was 16.

Wow... Left Texas.

That's a big thing.

Were you really nervous at 16 to leave?

I was too stupid to be nervous.

I was so lucky.

I met Helmut Newton, the photographer, and I ended up on the cover of French Vogue, and... Wow.

Yeah.

Adventure.

TIM: Yeah, definitely...

If you could point to anywhere on the globe right now, out of all the places you've ever been, what would be the place to go to?

Well, I think the most interesting was the Amazon rainforest.

TIM: Wow.

JEERY: But lots of ants.

Wouldn't want to live there... Well, I tell you what, Jerry, I've got ants in my pants for antiques.

(LAUGHS) VO: Yes.

Wendover is the center of the universe right now.

Look at this down here.

PP: Oh, wow, what's that?

You've got here a collection of recipes and remedies.

Yeah.

It reads, "how to create a cordial".

And it says you mix syrup and you do other bits and pieces.

So this would date, I reckon, Philippa, to around 1700.

And that's old English inked writing.

PP: I'm really interested in recipes...

Right.

..and I'd be interested as a punter to know what that said and have a go at making it.

We could make one together maybe later.

How cordial would that be?

VO: Ticket price, £18.

CH: It's not a lot, is it, for £18?

No.

I mean, I'd buy it.

CH: Would you?

I'd like to frame it up and put in my kitchen, you know?

CH: Yeah... Be a talking point and maybe a fun thing to do the recipes.

CH: Exactly.

PP: Mental note - I'm quite keen on this.

VO: Well, I'll drink to that.

Jerry, what do you think of this?

Ooh, what'd you find?

TIM: Isn't that lovely?

JERRY: Beautiful.

TIM: Such a nicely-made top hat.

And what grabs me is... Oh!

..I mean, a top hat isn't that special on its own.

TIM: But what's wonderful... JERRY: Nice!

TIM: ..it's got its original box.

Well, I have worn these a few times in photoshoots... Well, it suits you.

..over the years.

Now this is a gorgeous one.

TIM: It's a good fit as well.

Yeah, I think it's great.

Ooh!

Maybe I can talk the price down a bit... You could.

Well it's priced at £75 which, to be honest, with an original box, doesn't seem too expensive to me.

TIM: But I think if you... JERRY: Try for 50.

TIM: ..try for 50.

JERRY: Yeah.

Because in an auction, I could see it selling between 50 and 80, so we could... OK. ..be in with a profit with that.

Let's put it in the memory bank, carry on looking, cuz we've got so much to see here.

JERRY: OK. See what else grabs your eye.

VO: Hang on to your hat, eh?

Ah, Charles goes solo.

Let's see how Philippa fares.

Jewels!

Oh my God, that's a lovely watch.

How much is it?

It's only £44, so that's not real gold, is it?

Wow.

I like that.

I haven't heard of a watch called Henry before.

VO: I think Philippa and Jerry will be finding some unusual objects.

This is fabulous.

This is a Max Mara... VO: Italian, founded 1951, based in Reggio Emilia.

..which is a mid-range designer.

That would probably have been £120 new.

It's now £15, and it's got very popular cats on it, so I think that is a possible purchase for profit.

It's very fine silk.

I'm going to ask Charles about that.

Charles!

CH: Hello.

What have you found?

I've found a Max Mara, which is a good make.

It's got a cat pattern.

It's quite contemporary.

It's quite cute.

And there's another one here, of the same vein, this one, but I don't know the make.

CH: I love fashion.

I mean, look at my waistcoat, for example.

Hm.

VO: (CHUCKLES) I might, if I can, have some advice from you about what to perhaps wear in my later life.

Drop the gendered clothes.

CH: How do you mean?

Well, look - what I'm wearing, a man could wear it, a woman could wear it.

CH: And what do you call that style then?

My clothes.

CH: Right.

VO: Let's get back to the goods, eh?

CH: How much is that one?

This is 10, and this is a slightly better known make and this is 15.

Why don't we have a go with them?

Because... Alright.

..you might not think I'm a fashion guru, but I do see taste.

I do.

No, I do.

OK, let's buy the shirts... Let's try.

Come on.

VO: We've gone all What Not To Wear all of a sudden.

Hi, Jerry, how are you getting on?

Oh, darling, I tell you, I quite fancy this, but everything's so expensive.

And that's brown furniture.

JERRY: It's a Bible box.

PP: It is beautiful, actually, I really love it.

But listen, this is a competition.

Oh!

Oh, yes, it is.

(LAUGHS) And we are on a quest... To make money.

No.

To beat each other.

Yeah!

I'm going to let you get on.

OK. VO: Please do.

We have certain items on the shortlist, but no dealers have been disturbed as yet.

That's Dave, by the way.

Hm.

VO: Jerry does look serious about those, however.

JERRY: Tim?

TIM: What have you found, Jerry?

JERRY: I love these.

Oh, they're smart, aren't they?

What draws you to those?

Well, my house is sort of 1720.

OK.

Early Georgian.

And I've been looking at lots of Georgian antiques, and I think... Mm-hm.

..these are beautiful.

Well, they're certainly Georgian style.

I would say they were probably made in the early 20th century, maybe the 1920s.

They copied a lot of Georgian designs in that period.

What are they priced up at?

JERRY: 75.

TIM: Well, I mean, silver-plated ware isn't necessarily as popular as it used to be.

However... JERRY: That's right.

..they are top quality pieces.

And I think if you can get them down a bit, in an auction, they might be sort of 40, £60.

If they were from Queen Anne period, George I, you'd be talking many thousands of pounds.

So being silver plate... JERRY: Ah.

TIM: ..they are within our budget.

JERRY: I definitely want these.

TIM: I love them.

VO: It's all happening.

JERRY: So Dave, I found these lovely silver-plated pots.

It says 75 for the pair.

OK. What's your best price?

Em, we normally do 10%.

So...

So it's not just these.

I'm interested in the Henry Heath top hat.

DAVE: Oh, the one with the nice box.

Yeah, and that also is the same price, 75.

So I'm thinking as I've got, like, two 75s, can I make them both 50 each?

100 all in.

Can't squeeze another tenner?

See, then I might not make money, and I've got to beat Philippa!

DAVE: OK. JERRY: Thank you so much!

Thank you very much, Dave.

Thank you, Dave.

JERRY: £100.

DAVE: Lovely.

JERRY: Woohoo!

DAVE: Thank you.

JERRY: Thank you.

VO: Woohoo it is.

Ah!

Well there we are!

JERRY: Exciting!

VO: £100 spent, with 300 left over.

Let's hit the road, Jerry.

I have to say, I never thought I'd be jumping into a Buick with Jerry Hall.

VO: So while those two make themselves scarce... ..let's catch up with Philippa and Charles.

There's lots and lots of small items, ornaments, trinkets.

One thing has jumped out at me.

The sledge.

PP: And me.

Jumped right out at me... CH: Why?

Because that just looks like a family good time.

You could get Mum, Dad and two kids if they all veed up nicely.

CH: Yeah.

It's quite well made.

Just look at the ticket.

PP: "1940s World War II Special Forces sled "used in Scandinavia.

"£278."

VO: Crikey!

It's a wonderful object and it's got all that history, and it probably did bring supplies to someone.

It's more like a cart than a sled... CH: Yeah, yeah.

In fact, I don't know if it would even go down the hill, cuz it hasn't got thin runners, it's got flat things.

But you know what, if we waxed the bottom of these... CH: Yes.

..it would go faster.

VO: She's quite literally waxing lyrical.

PP: Look at the little carving that... That's right.

..someone's done on the bottom, and that has got a very Scandinavian feel to it.

Yes, it has.

PP: What if we could get it for 120?

CH: Mental note.

OK. 120, not a penny more.

VO: Hear that, Charles?

Now, remember this little item?

PP: Charles, there's a watch I want to show you in here.

A watch?

VO: It is rather good, isn't it?

This watch is sort of purple and rose gold, and it's quite...'70s?

Mm.

PP: The make Henry has been engraved on the back.

Japan movement.

Oh, that's better.

PP: Oh, is it?

What does that mean?

It's not so generic.

This is the emerging Japanese market... PP: Ah!

..crafting really good watches, so actually, Henry could even be the retailer over here rather than being the manufacturer.

PP: So £44.

20?

CH: Mm.

PP: I think that's great for our man about town.

It's a looker.

Let's buy it!

Let's take it with us, and we can look at the other things we've already thought about.

When I watch this program... CH: Yeah?

..I never think they bargain hard enough.

Really?

I'm going to go for it.

VO: Watch out, Mike, they're heading your way.

Hey, Mike.

We're ready to do business, Mike, if that's alright with you... That's very exciting.

PP: Is it?

Oh, good.

We went shopping and we saw a big thing, didn't we, first of all.

What was the big thing you saw?

The sleigh.

Well, the person that I got it from, his father was in the Special Services... No!

Oh, wow... ..and he had a huge collapsible canoe as well.

And it's lightweight, because that came down by parachute.

PP: Oh, wow.

CH: Isn't that wonderful?

We're in it to win it.

Of course you are.

So what's the best, best price?

I would take 120 for it.

You wouldn't go to 110?

You're right.

I was just checking.

115 and we'll call it a deal.

Thank you very much, Mike.

115, and we'll take it, Charles?

VO: Yes!

Thanks, Mike.

So the other thing we saw, you liked... ..is this watch.

MIKE: Oh, yes, the watch.

Which I put in my pocket.

I hope the CCTV picked that up.

MIKE: Oh, it did.

PP: Oh, good.

Yeah, you're a marked woman.

Marked!

(ALL LAUGH) PP: And it's marked at £44.

MIKE: Yeah.

And I was hoping you'd give it to me for 25.

Because of the glasses, 29.

Thank you, Mike!

We also, Mike, like your shirt.

We like your shirt a lot.

But that's not for sale, is it?

But we did see... PP: Yeah, a couple of shirts, both kind of feline themed, and I would like to purchase the both of them...

Right.

..for £10.

We'd be happy to let you have them both for £10.

That's fine.

Mike, thank you so much.

VO: Well, that all went very well.

20, 40... VO: £154 paid... PP: Wow!

CH: Done it.

Loving your boot, Charles.

CH: Pleasure.

PP: Woohoo!

VO: ..leaving 246 for next time.

Bye bye, you two.

VO: Back to the Buick, squeezing through yet more country lanes.

So Tim, how are you finding driving this old car?

Oh, this is a joy.

Listen to this.

(ENGINE ROARS) JERRY: Whoa!

Whoa, tiger!

Now you can get carried away with the roar of these engines.

(BOTH LAUGH) TIM: Do you feel in safe hands, Jerry?

Uh-uh!

(BOTH LAUGH) TIM: Now Jerry, you have had a fantastic and interesting career.

I have.

I've been so lucky, working with all these great photographers... TIM: Mm.

JERRY: ..and fashion designers.

Then I had a lot of fun in the theater.

One of the highlights was getting in the Guinness Book Of World Records.

Oh wow, what was that for?

Yeah, my kids were so impressed.

I was put in it for being in the most West End plays in one night.

Six plays in one night.

What?

You must have been exhausted.

Lots of coffee.

JERRY: Yeah, that's a good idea.

VO: Jerry and Tim are taking a brief coffee break from the shopping amongst the ancient streets of nearby Oxford to find out how Jerry's favorite pick-me-up influenced that city's academics at the History of Science Museum... JERRY: I think you're doing an excellent job, Tim.

TIM: Thank you.

VO: ..where they've studied the link between Britain's first stimulant and the university.

So beautiful.

VO: Curator Dottoressa Federica Gigante.

BOTH: Hi.

So, Federica, where does coffee come from?

Coffee came from Ethiopia originally and then through Yemen came into the Ottoman Empire.

Initially, coffee wasn't even drunk, it was eaten.

Ah!

Because it was made into a powder and baked into bread.

Coffee made it to the court, to Istanbul, where it was such a popular drink that the first coffee houses started to open in the 16th century.

Here in Oxford, in some of the colleges, those people who were going out to the Middle East for research brought it back, and started to drink it as a very exotic drink.

Mm.

So it's no wonder that it was in Oxford that the first coffee house in England opened in about 1651.

Wow.

And we still have the oldest coffee house in the country, the Queen's Lane Coffee House, which opened in 1654.

VO: The stimulating bean was introduced from Turkey at a time when Britain was briefly a republic, and flourished because it was a sociable but non-alcoholic drink.

If you think about before coffee came, which was before tea came in, there weren't any stimulants.

The only drinks were alcoholic drinks.

And of course, going out to a pub wouldn't have made for a very pleasant environment to share ideas and thoughts.

Well, coffee has created the perfect atmosphere.

In Oxford in particular, many students prefer to sit in a coffee house than go into a college.

We even know that certain books could only be found in coffee shops and not in libraries.

Hm.

And these intellectuals sat and discussed the news.

Some of the first learned societies, one of which then became the Royal Society, of which the president was Isaac Newton, started meeting in coffee houses.

So how many coffee houses were there?

In the first half of the 17th century in Oxford, there were about 10 to 20 coffee houses of which we have record.

However, by 1708, in London alone, there were about 500 to 600 coffee houses.

Wow.

VO: Then, during the 18th century, the British coffee boom began to wane, with tea slowly taking over, partly thanks to that drink becoming much more affordable, but also for geopolitical reasons.

Coffee houses had signs outside.

People couldn't read, and the most popular sign for a coffee house was a Turk's head.

So the Turkish connection would have been very much up front.

Some said, "Oh, if we drink coffee "we'll become like our enemies, the Turks, so we shouldn't."

While others said, "Well, the Turks are a mighty people and they have all sorts of illnesses that can be cured with coffee, so we should imitate them."

I think it sounds like a great cure.

(ALL LAUGH) VO: Time to taste a proper Turkish brew in Britain's oldest continually serving coffee house.

So what these walls must have heard!

And all of this in front of coffee.

Oh!

VO: Ha!

Mucky pup.

TIM: Trust me.

JERRY: Mmm!

That's good.

So what makes it Turkish coffee?

Well, Turkish coffee has the ground beans that sit at the bottom, giving it its richness and roundness.

Cin-cin.

Mmm!

VO: Mmm!

Mwah!

Now, time to catch up with our E-Types.

Ha-ha.

What's the mood in there?

I'm nervous because it's obviously a valuable car.

I'm carrying great cargo, in yourself.

Charles, you are a magnificent driver.

You being serious?

Yes.

I've never felt more comfortable in an E-Type Jag.

I've never been in an E-Type Jag before, but... VO: I think Charles may be undergoing a bit of mobile therapy.

There's this thing when you're a bit of a Venn diagram and you've got a shaded area in the middle.

I think we've got that.

We have...

I think we've got overlap.

VO: Those two, eh?

Or are they just one?

They're on their way to their second shop of the day.

But what to buy?

Should we keep a special eye out for sculpture?

Something that speaks to you, something that moves your soul.

That's what I'd like to see.

That's a really nice way of... Yeah, that's nice.

I'll say all that, and then I'll pick up a little Peter Rabbit or something.

(BOTH LAUGH) VO: Best to go with the flow, although I'm sure that Bicester will provide, at Robinson's Antiques.

PP: Beautiful.

Nice driving.

Ahh!

Spoke too soon!

VO: Sculptures, anyone?

PP: What have we here?

VO: Woof, woof!

Just under £250 left, remember.

And going solo.

This kitsch little object became very famous when Jeff Koons made a massive one of it.

VO: Sold at Christie's for almost $60 million.

And if you look at it, it's kind of perfectly proportioned.

I would like to own this.

I'd like this on a shelf in my home, so if I feel like that, maybe other people feel like that.

Now, what puts me off, it's got a sticker on the back that says "Art in the City".

That seems like this might be a later copy, in which case £75 is a bit high.

OK. VO: Inflation, eh?

Please yourselves.

Sometimes you almost say a prayer when you're going to auction, praying your objects might make a profit.

And this, I suspect, many years ago, hung in a church or chapel with the very important "Our Father, which art in Heaven" prayer.

VO: Also known as the Lord's Prayer.

On tin, painted, original frame, Probably circa 1880.

VO: And £365.

From scripture to sculpture, of sorts.

PP: I've spotted a cat... CH: Where?

..because I am a cat person.

That is an interesting novelty.

Well done.

PP: Thank you very much.

You got a cat?

Yeah, I've got a cat called Kevin.

How old's Kevin?

Eh, about six or seven years old.

CH: Black and white?

PP: Black and white.

CH: Yeah.

Well, I quite like it.

What's it used for?

Any ideas?

Well, obviously you put things in it.

Now, if you're a nice person, you put your little discreet indigestion tablets in there, or you put poison in it and kill your husband so you can run off with your lover.

It's got a very dark and deep interior... PP: Mm-hm.

..which is quite dirty.

That's a clue.

PP: OK... Because on the actual hinged lid, you've got this little strike section.

So it's...

It's a match!

Exactly.

It's a Vesta case.

VO: Silver puss, ticket price £110.

But hold on.

You're a cat lady.

I'm a dog man.

OK. OK?

And in here, next to the cat... PP: Ooh!

..there's a dog as well.

We've come as a pair.

Maybe they can go as a pair.

Well, if they go as a pair, they'll have to go for 50 quid tops.

VO: Aha!

That's a pass on the pets, then.

No one expects that sort of discount.

PP: This is practically sculpture.

What's drawn your eye to it?

Well, I like the way it's made.

I think it's press molded and sgraffitoed, and I think it's hand-painted.

It's got a kind of honesty about it because there's little mistakes on it, and it's got character.

CH: Yeah.

PP: Can I pick it up?

CH: Yeah.

I quite like it.

Obviously, it's our great Queen, made by Burleigh ware in Staffordshire.

She sits upon that great Edward I throne, and I think you're quite right, it's quite naive.

PP: And it's actually a jug.

It's done sincerely, but it's also quite funny.

It is quite funny.

And how much is it?

Oh!

CH: Go on, let me guess.

£45?

Hello.

PP: 25.

CH: Oh, really?

25?

I think we give the full price.

I like it.

You know what?

I think that will go for 50.

Go and find the dealer.

Yeah.

Come on, then.

VO: They've definitely come to the right place.

PP: Hello.

IAN: Hi there.

How you doing?

Hi, I'm Philippa.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Ian.

Hi, Ian.

I've spotted this.

Fantastic.

It's £25.

IAN: OK. And that's what I'd like to pay you for it, if that's alright.

That's very fair of you.

Absolutely... PP: OK. VO: Ian seems happy enough with that arrangement, and they still have 221 left for tomorrow.

Come on, let's go back to the Jag.

VO: Time to take a bit of a breather.

What a fun day.

That was a good 'un, wasn't it?

Yeah!

Antiques, classic car, coffee.

Perfect.

PP: We're on a roll.

CH: We are.

Oh, I nearly swallowed a fly then.

We're on... Oh!

(SHE SPLUTTERS) Is that...is that a money spider you've swallowed?

No!

VO: Glass of water?

Nighty night.

VO: Next morning, our celebrities are busy comparing experts.

PP: So how did you get on with Mr Tim yesterday?

Oh, he was wonderful, but I should have taken more of his advice.

I love Mr Charles.

He's such a nice man.

But I was a little worried about his fashion sense.

(LAUGHS) VO: I think she might find him a changed man.

I have to say, Charles, I'm quite liking the shirt today.

Actually, it's a lot, which will come off later.

This is one of the items you've bought... Because it's going to auction.

What are you thinking now?

I'm thinking you look gorgeous.

Oh, thank you.

But what do you think about antiques?

I think they're not that blouse.

(BOTH LAUGH) VO: Oh, come on, Tim!

Get with the vintage!

Yesterday, Philippa got off to quite a start, acquiring those aforementioned designer blouses, a commemorative jug, a military sledge, and a watch.

I'm going to go for it.

VO: She did and all, leaving £221 in her kitty.

While Jerry picked up only some silver-plated pots and a top hat.

I have worn these a few times in photoshoots.

VO: So she still has £300 to spend today, as well as looking out for her chum.

Watch out!

There's bikes.

Aah!

Ooh... Hi, guys.

I'm actually used to the car, and I like the car.

I want the car!

No, don't even go there.

It's an old car.

Can't be that much.

VO: Today, they'll be shopping entirely within the confines of Oxfordshire, starting off in Tetsworth... ..at the former village pub turned restaurant and antique center.

Hey, look, they're already here.

JERRY: Ooh, yeah.

VO: That's right.

With their experts already hard at work within - well, sort of - there's time for a quick compare and contrast.

OK, Jerry.

Let's see what we got.

Ooh!

Lovely blouse.

Thanks.

There should be two of them... Ooh.

This is worrying me.

Now I'm a bit worried about this jug.

You should be worried about that jug, because I bought it for £25 and they're going between 40 and 60.

Philippa, I'm so jealous.

That is so cool.

Thank you.

VO: Jerry's turn.

Mm!

PP: You know what I love about this coffee pot is it's got this cute little hinge here... Yeah, that's real pretty stuff.

It's very elegant.

Silver plated.

What about the top hat?

Well, you know, it's beautifully brushed and it's got some nice initials.

Mm.

Oh, that's so cute.

Because the... JERRY: Yeah.

PP: ..initials in the top hat...

Match.

..match the initials on the box... JERRY: I know.

PP: It's a bit small, Jerry.

Well, you gotta wear it kind of like Marlene Dietrich, at an angle.

You're more Marlene than me, babes.

JERRY: I'm going to have to get with it today.

What are you going to buy?

Something big, bold, expensive.

There's something else that's not here as well.

I got a sled, but it's... JERRY: Oh!

PP: ..too big for the car.

Ooh!

CH: Morning!

VO: Ah!

Charles!

Fear not!

There is no lost item.

I'm wearing it.

You can't...

Morning.

Morning!

Kitties!

..wear the stock!

We're trying to make a profit.

VO: Ah, well.

No sense falling out when there are several floors of antiques to look at, although some of those may be a little "deer".

Tim!

What are you... Hello.

..doing playing croquet?

Philippa, I've just seen she's bought four items.

Four already?

Yeah.

Come on.

We gotta get a move on.

Enough of this playing around.

I'm just going to pick up my balls and I'll be with you.

JERRY: Tidying too!

VO: Quite.

Ha!

They still have £300 to spend, remember.

What about the others?

I'm a psychotherapist, Charles.

And I'm not sure how my clients would feel if I asked them to take a seat here.

If I was lying in luxury, I'd be thinking about stuff.

Maybe if you were my client, I'd have to buy this in specially to make you feel at home.

I would say it's probably French, in that Louis XV revived style, but I think it's going to be over £1,000.

It's for a Josephine or someone.

It's not for us.

CH: Exactly right.

PP: I'd give them 150 for it.

Come on.

VO: There's certainly an awful lot of quality in here.

Tim, what have you found?

This is quite a nice little bit of furniture, isn't it?

It's a nice stool.

Em, but... Lovely.

..the best thing about it is, one, it's a piano stool, but also it's Chinese as well, which you may not think immediately that might be Chinese.

Very simple lines.

Yeah, it is.

And that's what I love about Chinese porcelain, works of art, furniture as well, is that it's pretty timeless so it can fit into any interior, really.

And this stool dates to the late 19th, early 20th century.

So we're looking at a proper antique.

Nice!

TIM: For the price of £35.

JERRY: Oh!

Which I think is a bargain, don't you... You're so clever, Tim!

Let's get it.

VO: Top marks, Mr Tim.

What about the other one?

Found anything, Charles?

Hi.

I have.

I've found a very comfy chair.

I'm liking what you're sitting next to, Charles.

I am so pleased because I think we've found our final piece of the jigsaw.

This bureau.

Isn't it sweet?

PP: It's so cute.

CH: It's unusual.

You've got the mahogany, rich American timber, 18th century, with the cross banding as well.

In style, with these turned knob handles.

It looks to be circa 1800-1820.

PP: Wow.

VO: Wow.

Not cheap, although they do have £200 left to spend.

And the label says, "A Georgian child's mahogany bureau."

So if you were a young, wee lass, you'd pull your desk front down and look at that.

It's so well made.

Look at the shine on the mahogany as well, and you've got your curved thing.

That's such a lovely detail.

More room for a few more papers.

I just think it's a really lovely small piece of furniture.

And it will fit in any home because it's so tiny.

VO: And tiny means desirable.

I'm with it.

Let's get it.

And I think at auction this would make between 150 and 250.

It's got legs to run.

VO: Time to have a word with Paul.

Paul!

Ah!

Hello, how are you?

Have you found something nice?

We're interested in the child's bureau upstairs.

Right, OK.

It's almost like an apprentice bureau, isn't it?

PP: Is that what they call it?

PAUL: Yeah.

Oh, wonderful.

Very small and diminutive.

That's it.

It's priced at 195.

PAUL: OK. We have to make a profit.

Yes.

So I'm very generously, in my opinion, going to start the bidding at... 110.

Well, I could do 160, if that helps.

Tell you what, 150 and we've got a deal.

Yeah?

PP: Please!

PAUL: Em...

Sorry, did I...did I lose form there?

Sorry... No.

We're working really hard, Paul.

Please, Paul.

OK, let's do 150.

Thank you so much, Paul.

VO: He's been very kind.

£71 left.

And Charles is no longer modeling the blouse.

Phew!

So while they say ta-ta to Tetsworth, let's find out if that piano stool is likely to be joined by something else.

Tim, look what I've found.

TIM: Oh, that's cool.

JERRY: A walking stick.

I like that.

So do you know what it's actually called?

TIM: It's got a specific name.

JERRY: No.

It's called a Sabbath stick.

In the 19th century, it was really unpopular to play sport on a Sunday, the Sabbath, and so you would have a golf club walking stick.

Oh!

So if you were down a quiet country lane and nobody was watching, you could have a quick swish and practice your swing... Ooh!

So it was a sort of gent's walking stick.

It was a bit naughty.

Are you a golfer?

I have done some golfing... TIM: Have you?

I have on my granny golfing outfit now...

I love it.

Yeah.

I think I need this to go with my outfit.

(LAUGHS) VO: Very stylish and very rare.

JERRY: It's expensive.

£155.

I mean, that's the top end of what I think it would make in an auction.

But I've seen your negotiating skills.

It's worth a swing.

JERRY: Should we try it?

TIM: Yeah.

Let's go see the dealer.

Let's do it.

OK. VO: Jerry, meet Joe.

Hi, Joe.

Oh, hi, how are you?

TIM: Hi there.

JERRY: Lovely shop.

Found something there?

Yeah, we've got this and the Chinese piano stool.

VO: £35 on that, remember.

And so I was hoping... ..130 for the two of them.

OK.

The best I think I can do on that would be 135 for the stick and 35 for the stool.

So that's 170 in total.

(SHE GASPS) That's the best I can do.

I think it might be worth a go at 135, Jerry.

OK, I'll take it.

Brilliant.

You drive a hard bargain.

VO: Oh, he does.

Still £130 left though.

You really suit that cane.

JERRY: I love it.

VO: ..which they'll no doubt be requiring at their next shop.

TIM: Here we go!

(HONKS HORN) VO: Now, let's check in with our other extremely compatible celebrity-expert pairing.

I've had such a great time shopping with you, Charles, and you know what?

Any time you want to go shopping in London, I'll take you shopping, because I think we complement each other well on the shopping.

I'd love to.

I think we could... From Bond Street to... Maybe New Bond Street.

CH: Exactly.

And we could shop big and...

Lunch small!

(LAUGHS) VO: The sentence-finishing shop mates are heading back towards Oxford... ..and a well-earned afternoon off from antiques acquisition in this delightful inner city oasis.

The Botanic Gardens, where they've come to meet local artist John Blythe... ..and find out about the Victorian scientist's daughter who may have been the very first female photographer - Anna Atkins.

So who was Anna Atkins?

Can you tell me a bit about her?

Anna was brought up by her father on his own, and I think as a consequence she became very much involved in her father's research.

She drew illustrations of seashells for a book that her father was working on, and it was after that that she started to develop her own interest in botany.

She started really collecting algae and seaweed, creating a significant collection of specimens gathered from all over the country.

VO: Thanks to her friendship with William Fox Talbot, one of the inventors of photography, by 1841 Anna had acquired one of the earliest cameras.

But to catalogue her botanical collection, she was inspired by another pioneer.

JOHN: John Herschel was a mathematician and an astrologer, and also a chemist.

And he invented the cyanotype, which is the photographic image created by placing an object on top of coated paper.

When it's exposed to light, an image is formed.

But what you're capturing actually is not the object itself, but effectively the shadow of the object.

And that became an ideal medium for her photographs of British algae, cyanotype impressions.

It's the first photographic illustrated book.

CH: Wow.

PP: Once you've made the photograph with this process, how did you reproduce it to make an edition of books?

They're not reproducible.

She was making each one afresh.

Wow.

So that was one of the reasons why she used dried, preserved samples so that she could make multiple copies.

So each book had to be effectively handmade.

Wow.

Beautiful.

VO: Atkins produced three volumes between 1843 and 1853, of which only 17 copies are known to still exist.

She then wrote five novels.

PP: So what was the impact that she had?

Well arguably, Anna Atkins was the first female photographer.

I mean, some people would suggest that William Fox Talbot's wife was the first photographer, but there's no record of her work.

So... Let's give the crown to Anna.

Absolutely.

I think Anna Atkins was a real innovator.

She was the first person to use the cyanotype process to create plant illustrations.

The cyanotype process is actually probably more commonly known as a blueprint.

CH: Yeah.

JOHN: And in fact was most widely used to make copies of technical drawings.

So Anna really was using it in a way that wasn't what it was intended for, but was actually perfect for what she needed.

VO: Atkins' cyanotypes have certainly inspired John, and not just because he's a big fan of the color blue.

The chemicals required to coat the photographic paper are not harmful to the environment, and the process at its most basic can also be very simple.

So if we place our prepared paper... Yeah.

Then you want to put your plant specimen on top of that.

OK. Any position you like.

Thank you.

Get creative.

And then glass goes on top.

CH: Philippa, you've made a mistake.

I have not made a mistake.

It's not in the middle.

It's falling out.

PP: Tell him, John.

Tell him about the edges.

Photography is all about the edges.

Oh, OK. OK, sorry.

PP: Degas was the first person to use the cropped image in painting.

OK.

Photography taught him that.

OK. OK, so now we've got our specimens ready, let's go and make our exposure.

OK. VO: And after 20 minutes under a UV lamp, it's time to see the results.

So let's have a look.

Yours first, John.

Moment of truth.

Oh!

Ooh!

You can see straight away, we've got a really nice impression of the... Yeah.

..specimen there.

So now when we put it in the water, the undeveloped chemistry will wash away.

Let's do it, let's do it... And that should turn white and then the rest will go blue.

Put that in the water like that.

PP: Oh, that's magic... And you can see automatically it starts to change... CH: That's so clever.

PP: I love that!

There's so much movement in the image you've created.

It's sort of like whooshing across the page.

It's like magic.

OK, so let's have a look at Philippa's.

PP: Is this ready now... JOHN: Take it out of the frame.

So let's just slide that in and you'll see already that the color's changing, it's... Yeah.

..starting to go blue.

CH: How are you feeling?

Pleased.

VO: Blue is the color!

Anna Atkins - photographic and a scientific innovator.

Now, elsewhere in Oxfordshire, how do you converse with a supermodel?

Jerry, I'm, um...very passionate about old coins.

Oh, really?

You think that makes me boring?

Oh, so you go around with a metal detector...

I do.

Have you ever been metal detecting?

JERRY: Yes.

TIM: Have you?

Yeah, my son loves it.

Oh, brilliant.

Sometimes he's buried, like... shin deep.

Found anything interesting?

Found a silver top to a pill bottle.

Oh, lovely.

Yeah.

We thought it was a Roman coin because it was a copy of a Roman coin design... Oh.

Ah, that's interesting... Yeah, it was like 1918.

Jerry Hall loves coins.

Love those Roman coins!

VO: Golly gosh!

Well, I'm sure there'll be some in their last shop, named after its central Oxford location.

Ah!

Antiques On High.

Lovely.

VO: Our detectives still have £130 to spend in here.

TIM: What have you got there, Jerry?

Ooh, it's so lovely, it's a biscuit tin.

Tins in general are a massive collecting field, especially biscuit tins, because they come in such a variety.

That one's really nice cuz it's the stack of books, and it's the Huntley and Palmers one.

It's very iconic.

I think it dates to around 1900, so we're talking well over 100 years old.

What's your favorite biscuit?

What would you keep in your tin?

Oh, I like those crumbly oat ones with chocolate on them.

Mmm!

VO: I think we can guess the brand she means.

I quite like the shortbreads.

VO: Phew, more generic.

You could hide other things in here too.

VO: She's right.

Good hidey place.

What's the price?

Ugh, 175.

Oh, I think that might be a bit tight.

I mean, I would advise probably not buying it because I think 175 in auction is quite a lot.

I think it's probably nearer 60 to £100.

But I love it.

I think it's beautiful.

I know.

I feel bad.

Should we maybe hold back on that one and carry on looking?

Cuz there's so much to see here.

Alright.

You lead the way.

Oi!

Put it back.

Put it back.

We're not buying that.

I love that!

VO: He's a tartar.

But the good news is they do have coins.

Jerry, have a look at this one.

So we've got Ethelred II, King of England, 978-1016AD.

So this coin would have been minted over 1,000 years ago.

Little silver penny and you can see Ethelred II on the front there.

This one was minted in Bath as well, which is quite nice.

JERRY: Ah.

TIM: I love Saxon coinage.

VO: Also known as Ethelred the Unready.

Ticket price £475.

Have you ever found any coins?

I've found a few coins, but I have to admit I tend to find the bottle caps and the safety pins, and my wife finds all the decent stuff.

JERRY: Oh, wow... TIM: Yeah.

She's more patient, huh?

She is, yeah.

I'm quick.

I go "beep beep beep beep" and she's more patient.

VO: They seem to be simpatico once again.

Cool, I like that.

VO: Hang on.

He's not got the fashion bug as well, has he?

I'm like Joseph in his coat of many colors.

(SHE GASPS) Tim, that's so you.

TIM: Do you think so?

JERRY: Definitely.

I don't know how to carry it though.

Well, I think since you got me into collecting coins... TIM: Mm.

..I'm going to teach you how to do the catwalk.

Come on!

Oh, dear.

Maybe I shouldn't have brought up those coins.

OK, darling, it's not rocket science.

OK. OK, think of a string pulling your head up straight.

Right.

And then walk on your tippy toes with one foot exactly in front of the other foot.

OK. Stop right here and give the Zoolander look.

OK. Ooh!

(LAUGHS) That was a killer look.

Blue Steel, move over!

VO: Not half!

No sign of proprietor Vince being consulted as yet though.

Unless, of course... Vince!

Jerry.

Shh, don't tell Tim, he doesn't want me... OK. ..to get this, but I love it and I need a really good discount.

OK.

It's got 175 on the ticket.

I haven't got 175.

How about 50?

No?

I tell you what, would 75 do?

Oh, that's so fantastic!

Thank you so much, Vince!

VO: Yes!

Super price, Vince.

I'm going to go and tell Tim what I've done.

OK, good luck.

VO: He's been overruled.

JERRY: Tim!

TIM: Hello.

Guess what I got?

What's that?

Woohoo...

The tin.

Oh, you bought it?

Yeah.

I got him down.

By how much?

Really good.

What did you get it for?

75.

You got £100 off?

Yep, we're done.

Let's go home.

VO: That was all very convivial.

£55 left over as well.

So how was the shopping?

It's surpassed my expectations of how much fun I would have, because I knew I'd like learning from an expert.

Because I hang out with you guys all the time... JERRY: Amazing.

Oh.

PP: ..on the telly.

So it feels like I'm just falling in with old friends.

But I think the icing on the cake is a profit.

VO: That's the hard bit, unfortunately.

TIM: Now, Jerry, what about an auction?

Do you get carried away?

JERRY: Well...

If you want something, do you just... Yeah, sometimes, but... TIM: ..chuck a sneaky extra bid in...

..I hope someone gets carried away about our things.

TIM: I hope so.

VO: Fingers crossed.

Shut eye next.

Lucky dogs!

VO: Auction viewing will take place at Grade II listed Wokefield Park, once the des res of biscuit baron Alfred Palmer.

This building was built in 1760.

Really?

Coronation year of George III.

That's amazing.

I'm very nervous.

TIM: Are you?

CH: Let's be cool.

Let's just, you know, try and take it all in because whatever happens happens at the auction.

VO: Ah!

Here they come.

A wee bit more confident than their experts, we hope.

Darling, I have a feeling that I might beat you.

(GASPS) How can you say that?

I think - if you lose, are you going to cry?

If you lose, will you cry?

Yes, and then I'm going to stomp off in a fit.

(BOTH LAUGH) I'll see you by the bus stop, and I'll be in this car, and I'll just drive past.

"Bye!"

VO: Lordy!

Watch out, chaps.

Best behavior.

Hello!

TIM: Hello, ladies.

CH: Hello!

JERRY: OK, put her in park, baby.

TIM: How are you?

JERRY: Hey!

Alright, ladies, just in time.

Come on, let's go... TIM: Come on.

PP: We're coming, we're coming.

VO: After setting out over in Wendover, our celebrities and their mighty Buick have finally wound up in Wokefield.

Here we are at the Huntley and Palmer mansion.

How do we feel about that?

Very excited, because they made the biscuit tin that I bought.

Oh yes, the biscuit tin...

It's a lucky omen, that, isn't it?

Absolutely.

And you love that tin, don't you?

JERRY: Mm, I love it.

TIM: Mm.

If we win, it's all to our credit.

If we lose, it's all your fault.

(ALL LAUGH) VO: Their items have been dispatched towards Featonby's in North Shields, for sale on the phone, on the net and in the room.

PHOEBE: Go on, one more bid?

VO: Our auctioneer is Phoebe Hoare.

£32... VO: Philippa and Charles parted with £329 for their five auction lots.

PHOEBE: Their World War II sled is an interesting item.

There are a few condition issues there, so it might hold back on its full potential.

VO: Jerry and Tim splashed out a bit more - 345, also on five lots.

PHOEBE: The biscuit tin I really like.

It's one of my favorite pieces.

It's in good condition for its age, so I'm expecting that to do well.

VO: Hear that, Jerry?

The auctioneer's a fan.

May the best team win.

That would be...

Here's to the auction!

Yeah, here's...

Cheers.

Cin-cin.

BOTH: Good health.

VO: First up, we have Charles' wee Georgian discovery.

It's very pretty, Philippa.

PP: Thank you, darling.

JERRY: I would have got that.

And I've got £60, straight in... CH: Come on!

TIM: Oh!

At 62, and five, and eight.

At £68 there, at 68... Come on!

70 and two.

At 72, and five now, new bidder.

At 75 and eight...

I think they're done now.

At £80.

82, it's all online.

Come on!

Great bidding here, at 82, and five... Yeah, but we want the higher increments.

PHOEBE: ..and 88.

CH: In two quids... At £88 now, at 88.

Straight back in at 90.

And two, and five.

Come on!

At £95, still online.

At 98.

Round it up to 100, if you will, 100 bid, thank you.

Now bid in tens.

At £100, 110.

Looking for 120.

Oh, they're climbing, they're climbing.

120 bid, and 130 straight back.

We're doing it!

140 now, and 150.

PP: Yes!

TIM: No!

Yes!

We're in profit!

..now.

At 170.

180?

180, 190.

Come on!

PHOEBE: At £190... JERRY: 190!

PHOEBE: 200?

At £190... CH: I love this auctioneer.

£190.

Selling away, last chance.

BOTH: Yes!

Yes!

VO: They are excited.

The others, slightly less so.

TIM: Well done, guys... CH: Yes!

That was a good profit, well done.

Jerry, you like quality, you love Georgian.

We did it for you.

For you, Jerry.

VO: It's her turn now.

The piano stool that Tim spotted.

If ever there's an object to give me a nervous shudder, this is it because that's worth 100-150 all day long.

It's Chinese, it's flavor of the month, and this ought to really run.

Definitely quality here, and I've got 25 straight in there... CH: It's a start.

It's a start.

TIM: It's a low start.

28.

28 bid, thank you, at 28.

CH: She's moving.

PHOEBE: Looking for 30.

30, thank you.

At £30 there, great quality here... Come on.

Keep going.

Oh, it's cheap!

..any chance at two?

Last chance to all.

Oh!

No!

£30 then, selling away.

PP: No!

JERRY: Lost £5!

PP: I would have... TIM: I can't believe that.

VO: That's what can happen though sometimes.

It is what it is.

I'm glad we bought it because there was a chance.

It was worth a shot.

So you say.

Jerry's not... Guys, stay together.

Stay together.

Look, guys... TIM: If I say sorry... VO: Philippa's find - a watch called Henry.

It's not real gold, but it's real purple.

We think it's a 70s classic.

Like Charles.

A throwback.

Thank you!

£10?

Any interest there at 10?

10 bid.

No one is bidding £10... PHOEBE: At £10, looking for 12.

CH: One more.

12 bid at the back then.

Come on!

In the room, 15 straight back in.

18 now, at £18.

20, new bidder in the room.

Would you like two, 22?

22... Come on, small steps.

..25, thank you.

At 25 in the room still.

Come back in online if you like.

PP: My nerves.

PHOEBE: I've got 25 in the room.

TIM: 25.

PHOEBE: £25.

28.

Would you like 30?

Are you quite sure?

Selling away, last chance, 28... We've lost a pound!

VO: Not so Hooray Henry.

Seriously...

I thought... How did you let me buy that watch?

Well, because it's iconic, it had style.

It had color, like yourself.

VO: Now for Jerry's sneaky biscuit tin buy.

Jerry, if it makes a profit, you'll be the new expert, OK?

You'll take his place.

I mean it.

No, I never go anywhere without my antique expert.

25 bid, thank you, at 25.

Ooh, it's started low... £25 now, at 25.

Looking for eight.

Oh, it's so cheap... PHOEBE: £28.

TIM: Oh, we've got a way to go.

Come on.

At 30 bid.

At £30.

At 32.

Come on!

..looking for five.

PHOEBE: £32... CH: Jerry, any comments?

..for me now.

Last chance to all, £32.

That is so unfair!

VO: Crumbs!

Someone got a very nice place to keep their cookies.

I think Jerry's cross.

Aren't you, Jerry?

Yeah, I thought so.

And I've lost my thingy.

VO: And after biccies disguised as books, a queen that doesn't so much "reign" as pour!

And what age are we thinking?

Is it 30s?

50s?

It's... Oh, it's got to be '53, hasn't it?

It's got to be '53!

Old brainbox!

He's still learning over there.

Still learning.

Lovely quality, at 12 bid.

Come on.

At £12, straight in.

15 now.

At £15, online at 15.

CH: Keep going.

PHOEBE: ..18 elsewhere?

£15.

Surely it's worth more than this.

Any further interest?

God save our Queen.

She's going down.

..£15.

It wasn't the day for wonky jugs.

VO: Time was you could have lost your head for that sort of talk.

Sunday stick next.

Jerry's favorite.

Now this is beautiful.

I'd love it.

It's the perfect height.

Ebony, it's beautiful.

Ebony?

This is very, very unfair!

Wow.

Oh, Jerry is really cross now... That was beautiful!

VO: Supermodel gives super frown.

Oh, that's coming out of your wages, Tim.

Yeah.

VO: Now, do sledges shift in the summer?

We're about to find out.

We've got our biggest loss coming up right here right now.

That's confidence for you.

What do we say?

Start me off at 60?

Thank you.

CH: Come on.

TIM: Oh, straight in... At 60, and two.

At £62 there... We now need competition.

Looking for 110.

Last chance to all... Are you sure?

..I gave you a bit of time.

£100... Oh!

JERRY: You were robbed.

CH: We were robbed.

We were robbed.

VO: Yeah, slippery items, them sleds.

But we're going downhill now.

Do you look these puns up the night before?

I practice a bit now and then.

VO: Jerry's Georgian style pots.

I saw those and said I had to have them.

She did.

"Tim, I'm buying these."

I really hope they do well.

That's right.

CH: Let's do it.

JERRY: Let's do it.

Lovely items, these.

What do we say?

I've got 18, 20, 25, 28.

At £28... PP: 28.

CH: Oh.

It's online.

Any further interest at 30?

New bidder online, and 32 straight back in.

Let's go soaring past 50.

There's hunger here for them.

At £38 there, at 38.

40 bid.

Quick bidding here, at 40 and two.

At £42 now, do I see five?

TIM: Keep bidding!

Five, thank you, at 45.

Looking for eight.

Oh Jerry, we need to get to that 50.

CH: Go on, here we go!

JERRY: Come on.

PHOEBE: 50 now.

TIM: Yes!

Yes!

At 50.

At £50, looking for two.

TIM: We need profit though.

PHOEBE: Quality here.

50.

Are we done?

Online then, £50... Oh!

Broke even.

You paid the right price for those, Jerry.

They didn't lose a penny.

Well done.

VO: You can go off people, you know.

We're still behind in the competition.

VO: Two designer blouses, one of them once worn by top antiques expert.

I can't help noticing that the next item has not been to the dry cleaners as I requested.

You might go to the cleaners on this.

Are you sure that the dry cleaners would have made that much of a difference?

PP: Yes, I am!

CH: Oh-ho-ho!

I've got £10 straight in online.

Oh, no!

£10, looking for 12 now.

At £10.

Are we done?

It's online.

Last chance to all, no interest in the room.

(JERRY LAUGHS) No interest.

I have another bidder.

Thank you.

At £12.

We're in profit!

I can't believe it.

At £15.

Looking for 18 now.

18.

Slow start, but it's getting away now.

At £18.

20 to go on, if you're interested.

Last chance then, it's online.

£18... Oh!

TIM: I can't believe that.

PP: Should've made 30.

Let's just go clothes shopping.

VO: Well, when we have a couple of fashion experts on board, why not?

And talking of clobber, Jerry's top hat and top box.

JERRY: It's very stylish.

TIM: Mm.

But I don't know if someone will pay more than £50.

In original cardboard box as well, and I've got £30 straight in there, at 30.

At 32 now, at 32.

Hoping this goes... 35.

At 35.

At 35 and eight, back in.

Online at 38.

Looking for 40... Come on.

Oh, don't stick there.

40 in time.

CH: Just in time.

40.

Are we there... Don't be silly.

Come on.

Selling then, last chance to all, £40 for the hat.

TIM: Ugh!

JERRY: Dang!

VO: Not to mention thunderation sounds and gosh-all-Potomac.

Did we lose or win?

Unfortunately, we may have lost.

I think we're all losers!

(ALL LAUGH) VO: Which is, strictly speaking, true.

Jerry started out with £400, and after auction costs she made a loss, so she's ended up with £230.48.

Bad luck.

While Philippa, who began with the same sum, made, also after auction costs, a smaller loss.

So she wins today with £358.82.

Not that anyone seems especially bothered.

Road Trip!

JERRY: Yeah!

PP: Yeah!

So shall we go shopping without a camera crew now?

JERRY: Ooh, that might be... PP: Would that be more fun?

That might be more fun.

Yeah.

You know, the sorts of shops we usually go to.

JERRY: Clothes shops?

PP: Oh, yes!
