This is the pig for me.
VO: ..one antiques expert each... DAVID: Celebrities!
JOHN: Captain Jack JOHN: and the wingman.
DAVID: Wingman.
VO: ..and one big challenge - who can seek out and buy the best antiques at the very best prices...
It's a Johnny Cash!
Do I look country and western?
VO: ..and auction for a big profit further down the road?
Oh, my goodness!
VO: Who will spot the good investments?
Who will listen to advice?
And I tell you what - it goes with your eyes.
Does it, yeah?
VO: And who will be the first to say, "Don't you know who I am?!"
Cuckoo!
VO: Time to put your pedal to the metal.
This is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip!
Yeah!
Today's Road Trippers are positively sparkling with talent!
It's showbiz pals John Barrowman and Myleene Klass.
JOHN (JB): # Some are happy # Some are sad!
# Whoa BOTH: # You gotta let the music play... # VO: Yeah!
Our leading man is best known not only for playing time-traveling Captain Jack Harkness in science-fiction drama Torchwood... but also for being one of our most well-known musical-theater performers and shiny-floor-show regulars.
MYLEENE (MK): OK, so you're gonna want to buy what, exactly?
I'm gonna look at decorative things.
I like things that you can use.
MK: I know nothing about antiques!
MK: I like shoes!
JB: Really!
VO: Why am I not surprised?
John's opposite number is another achingly-talented performer.
A classically trained pianist who first shot to fame in Hear'Say - a talent show-winning pop group - over a decade ago.
MK: Woohoo!
VO: Ha-ha!
And they're charging towards their antiques challenge in this terribly sexy 1968 AC Cobra.
JB: What's your take on our antiques experts?
MK: I'm gonna feel pretty short-changed if one doesn't have a tweed jacket.
Just as long as I get someone who... doesn't kind of impose what they like on me.
So you want them to just to let you... be the expert!
No, no!
(LAUGHS) VO: And for our sparkling celebrities, we have two dazzling experts.
Sauntering to the start point in the classic that is the 1968 VW Beetle, it's a double whammy of Davids - yes, it's David Barby and David Harper!
DAVID BARBY (DB): This is nice being with you, David, I... DAVID HARPER (DH): Oh, thanks, David.
Nice to be with you.
You are a classic gentleman, David Barby.
Oh, I don't know about that!
If you feel comfortable in a '70s look and it brings back your youth... DH: (LAUGHS) (CRUNCHING) Sorry, sorry.
It's the gearbox, it's not my hand.
VO: Oh yes.
Fascinated by antiques and everything collectable from the tender age of 12... Really nice quality, some lovely, lovely pieces... VO: ..it's no surprise that our David went on to become one of the youngest valuers and auctioneers in the country.
Look at me!
18... 18... 18.
VO: And of course with experience comes great wisdom.
(LAUGHTER) DB: That'll be telling.
So, what do you think about Myleene and John?
I've seen them once or twice on television.
DH: Once or twice?
Hear'Say.
Christopher Columbus!
That was years ago.
What, when you were young?
DB: Yes.
DH: Yeah.
VO: Ooh!
David Harper has been amassing knickknacks since he was a nipper.
A bit of wheeling, a bit of dealing.
VO: All grown up and with 20 years in the antiques trade, he has penchant for... well, just about everything.
I think that's rather nice.
You'd have your servant pushing you.
VO: It would be fair to say he's a man obsessed.
Funny enough, I'm not on a stamp anywhere in the world at all.
Can you believe that?
Now, I'll tell you something interesting about John Barrowman.
What's that?
He won recently Rear Of The Year.
Oh right.
Yes.
And has this been exposed regularly?
Regularly.
Obviously, that's what has won the award.
DB: (LAUGHS) VO: We kick off our road trip in beautiful Bristol and we'll wind up at auction in Foncysyllte near Wrexham on the Welsh-English border.
Vibrant Bristol, the regional capital of the South West of England, is where we get the show on the road.
JB: This is the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge.
Do we have to pay?
50p - that's a bargain!
Very nice.
VO: Myleene and John each have £400, two days of fabulous shopping and one showstopping auction, which will reveal who has turned the biggest profit.
(CHEERING) DB: Oh, wow, look at that.
MK: Hi!
DB: Hi.
You two look very good in there, I've got to say.
JB: Oh!
DH: Oh.
JB: Right, hello.
DB: Hello, David Barby.
JB: David.
John Barrowman.
Nice to meet you.
JB: Two fantastic experts... DB: Yeah.
JB: ..and two fantastic... DH: Oh of course.
..people who don't know anything.
You look a lovely partnership - you're both in white.
And also, Myleene said she wanted someone with kind of a tweed jacket on.
DB: Oh.
DH: OK, well, it's white pants together.
I've got you!
(THEY CHUCKLE) JB: The battle... DH: Yes.
JB: ..has begun.
DH: Yes, exactly.
MK: You'd better believe it.
MK: See you later!
JB: See you later!
(CHEERING) DH: Watch the cameraman, David!
VO: Myleene and David Barby are headed over to Bristol's Bedminster area to start their shopping spree.
DB: There's an antique shop.
MK: Look at that!
I like all those little nick-nacks.
DB: Oh, my God.
MK: What?
So tell me about your dad - you said he was on a ship?
Well, he started off as a salvage diver, so you want to talk about nick-nacks?
My Wendy house was a decompression chamber!
(THEY CHUCKLE) Oh, I love that.
I love that.
Are you a good negotiator?
Yeah, I think so.
VO: Good, well, you'll have an opportunity to try out those skills in your first shop of the day.
(THUD) MK: Ooh.
VO: Ouch!
MK: That'll be the curb.
VO: If David manages to park, that is!
Granny Barbarella.
Come on Granny Barby, put it in first, let's go.
Christopher Columbus!
See, I like that already.
Er... VO: You've got your work cut out here, David.
He's looking for a Hear'Say album.
How rude!
Why?
Because we're in an antique shop.
(THEY CHUCKLE) Oh my gosh!
Now, I've met him, and he actually was dancing on a table.
# You make me feel like dancing # Dance the night away.
# Barby, you've got the moves.
DB: I think we should go next door, come on.
VO: That's what they all say.
Right, next door is Michael's Antiques - father to Rachel's Antiques - which is absolutely crammed with all manner of goodies.
Oh, my goodness me!
There's so much in this shop.
VO: And top man Michael is more than happy to help.
Antique tiles.
How do tiles sell?
Tiles sell well, but they've got to be a certain type.
Now, those are standard Victorian tiles.
MK: Those are beautiful.
I like this.
DB: And they would have covered a hallway, or a fireplace or something like that.
I've only been doing this two minutes, I'm filthy already!
VO: Can we get some overalls for Myleene, please?
DB: Now... MK: Wow, what's that, with the ladies?
DEALER: It's a 1930s lamp.
It's actually... DEALER: The ball went in it... MK: Look at this!
..and it hung the other way up.
MK: Is this yours?
DEALER: # Gimme the moonlight.
# DB: Can we have a look at it?
DEALER: It hangs that way... VO: Oop!
Mind the camera!
MK: I love that.
What is it made of?
DEALER: Well, these are chrome, and I assume by the weight, that's brass underneath there.
DB: Yes, it is.
DEALER: Yeah.
DB: I think that's great fun.
MK: It's brilliant.
You know what these remind me of?
The Rolls Royce figures... MK: Yes, yes.
DB: ..on the front of a car.
VO: Well, that they may be, David - but it's far more likely that the figures are inspired by Josephine Baker, the African-American dancer, singer and actress who became a muse to writers, artists and designers, from Picasso to Christian Dior, in the early 20th century.
She had a figure too.
DB: How much is that?
DEALER: It's 120.
DB: How much?!
But cuz you're so handsome, I can make it 60 to you.
But it should fetch a lot more than that.
MK: Can I ask one question?
DEALER: I'd like to show you... MK: Can I put these down?
DEALER: Yeah!
(CHUCKLES) VO: Yes, my 'andsome, you put 'em down - there's a lot more shopping to do.
Or you could just try on more hats, girl!
Look, bonnet.
It just seemed like you.
(THEY CHUCKLE) DB: Just tell me what you think about those chairs.
I don't know, I don't really know what I'm looking for in chairs, if I'm completely honest.
These date from round about 1900, 1910.
Gustav Stickley, and he designed for the arts and crafts movement in America, and these are natural wood oak.
And what is extraordinary is that the covers are the original covers.
Oh!
(SHE CHUCKLES) Are they comfortable?
No, they're not, I'll have to be honest.
DB: Well you... MK: You need some cushions.
What's the one word that comes to your mind about Victorian furniture?
Opulence.
Over... Egging... Ornate!
(THEY CHUCKLE) It's bad as charades!
This was the reaction... OK. ..from that very ornate... OK.
It went the other way, it balanced out.
Other way, and you've got this.
Absolutely stunning.
It's such a big risk to take, though, cuz two chairs, that's... We'll go and see how much it is.
Get some change back.
VO: But something else has caught David's eye.
Oh right, is that a Burmantoft?
This is a startling piece of art pottery.
VO: The name Burmantofts refers to the area of Leeds where this pottery was produced in the late 19th century.
Referred to as art pottery due to its famously decorative style, it happily plagiarized ideas from other potters.
However, through making consistently good quality ceramics, it became well respected in its own right.
It's got a chip on it, just at the edge.
It's not major restoration.
MK: OK. DB: I like that.
MK: I love the color.
We might be able to create a deal on the three objects.
DB: Mick... DEALER: Yes.
DB: Crunch time!
DEALER: Crunch.
Right, Mick, so we have the lampshade, DB: and you quoted 60.
DEALER: Yes, yes.
DB: And on the chairs... DEALER: I had 150 each on them, can do them at half of that.
£75 each.
Oh, I couldn't do £75 each.
They are very rare chairs.
How much for the Burmantofts?
The Burmantofts was £100.
Oh!
I paid 90 for it 20 years ago.
In Bridport.
But it was more popular then.
I think it's on its way back.
It's a long way to travel.
(CHUCKLES) So that comes to £230.
230?
That's the lampshade, the chairs and the Burmantofts.
That should be 500 or something!
Seriously?
But, erm, seeing as you've got such a smiley face, and such a cheerful chap...
..I'm gonna say one price only to you, cash, £200.
£200 for the lot.
For the lot.
VO: Some impressive haggling there - but Myleene needs to agree, or the deal's off!
DB: He's prepared to take 200.
I mean, this is re... Cuz it's tricky, isn't it?
Cuz we're both buying things that we like, as opposed to... Um...
But is there any other way to buy things?
You buy things that reflect your own taste.
OK.
Partner.
VO: Not many men could be that persuasive while wearing a silly little hat like that.
Well done, David!
I've had a word with my companion and we'd like to go with that price you quoted for us.
Yes.
Thank you very much indeed.
Wonderful.
MK: Thank you.
DEALER: Thank you, Myleene.
Oh, you!
Thank you!
Oh, my!
VO: Don't wash for a week!
Another star turn there from our glamorous couple who, for the knock-down price of £200, get the art-deco lightshade, the large and almost intact Burmantofts pot and of course, David's hard-won arts-and-crafts chairs.
Not a bad start to the day.
But no hats.
Meanwhile, John and David are making their way half an hour north, to Chepstow.
JB: Antique wise... DH: Yeah?
..what I like are things that are ornamental.
What are you like at negotiating?
I'm like a big Spanish bull.
DH: No!
JB: I go in there - voomf!
Seriously?
JB: And I have - mm!
- to... DH: No!
To just kind of go, "How 'bout this?"
I'll be cheeky.
DH: Really?
OK!
Well, we'll do it together.
VO: Gosh - so much testosterone!
Chepstow not only boasts a fine example of a Norman fortress but was also once the largest and most significant port in Wales, during medieval times.
Today it's a vibrant and charming town with some delightful antique shops.
And John and David's first port of call is Foxgloves Antiques.
Don't you love the name?!
JB: Hi.
DEALER: Hello.
JB: I'm John.
DEALER: Hello, I'm Lesley.
JB: Nice to meet you.
DEALER: And you.
Hi, Lesley, I'm David.
DEALER: Hello, David.
DH: Nice to see you.
JB: Oh!
DEALER: Gosh!
DH: This is all yours, is it?!
DEALER: Yes.
JB: I already spotted something.
You've only been here for three seconds!
I know, I know, but I really... DH: Go on, tell me.
JB: Look.
DH: Ah, Staffordshire dogs.
JB: Right?
Staffordshire dogs.
We call them wally... wally..?
Wally dugs.
Wally dugs.
DH: Wally dogs.
JB: Wally dugs.
No, you got to get the "du... " No, wally DUGS.
DH: Dugs.
JB: Dugs.
DH: Wally dugs.
JB: Wally dugs.
Right.
It's the Glaswegian name for china dogs, JB: Staffordshire dogs... DEALER: Oh...
So china's "wally", don't ask me why.
Oh.
I wrote about it in a book, so... buy the book if you wanna know the full story!
DH: OK, OK. JB: It's a while.
JB: I can't remember!
DH: Exactly!
I might need to buy the book, cuz I didn't understand that all!
VO: D'you know, nor did I!
Ha!
Traditionally these dogs were always bought in pairs and are, of course, worth more together, though being so abundant and currently quite unfashionable, they wouldn't fetch much at auction.
It's a dog's life, you know!
So it's just taste?
DEALER: Exactly.
DH: Yeah.
Like my monkey!
VO: Oh, each to their own... love!
That I absolutely love.
RAF.
Because Captain Jack was in the RAF.
I just like the look of it.
I'll just...
I'll just explain something.
Captain Jack isn't real but he... he actually thinks he is!
DH: OK?
So just so we know that.
DEALER: OK.
He's real to me!
DEALER: It's your special friend.
JB: Yes.
DH: Yes, special friend.
JB: He's real to me!
DH: Come... Do you want something really unusual?
We love unusual.
Well, downstairs there's the most amazing birdcage.
I'm going down!
OK.
I'm coming down with you.
OK. That's quite fun.
It's 295.
I think it's a risky one for auction.
Sure.
I really do.
I had...
I had budgies as... as a kid.
I had eight.
They were really loud!
DH: Were they?
JB: Yeah.
DH: They keep you awake?
JB: No.
Why?
Because I never slept with them!
(THEY LAUGH) I've never slept with a bird in my life!
This is g...
This is just me personally... Yeah?
I love that clock.
The reason I'm drawn to it, I kinda know what the sentimental value is... DH: Yeah.
JB: ..but the grandmother clock, the tin bath that used to be under my Aunt Jeanie's bed in the tenement flat, the lawnmower that was a push one, with the rotating stuff... JB: Yeah.
DH: ..you know, from the '50s, all that old stuff that we brought over was binned... DH: Right.
JB: ..just thrown out.
And I... now that I'm older, I think that's a part of family history... DH: You've got loads of passion, obviously, and you've got passion for that.
It's shouting 20th century, 1930s.
It's got a bit of a deco thing going on there.
Now, have you found anything in Aladdin's cave?
DH: Yes.
W... JB: I really love this.
How much is the little grandmother clock there?
DEALER: 50.
DH: 50 quid?
And do we have the key for it?
Would you do it for 30?
I will do it for 30.
Mm-ba, mm-ba-ba-ba!
DH: Is that our first buy?
JB: I think that's our first buy.
Well done.
And you went in for it.
DH: I love that.
JB: Is that alright though?
It's fine.
£30 for a clock, that's a proper antique...
Listen, if it doesn't make money, I'll buy it!
VO: Well, actually, you're not allowed to do that, John.
Lesley... Lesley, thank you very much.
VO: But congratulations on your first purchase and some direct haggling.
£30 for the grandmother clock - the grand mother of clocks.
Not bad.
VO: Myleene and David are following in the other team's tracks and are also making their way half an hour north, to Chepstow.
This is the hat I prefer, actually, to all those that you were trying on in that shop.
MK: I think you're underselling yourself.
You've got a good face for all those hats.
DB: Have I really?
MK: Yeah!
Well, that's nice, innit?!
MK: I'll say anything - you just gave me chocolate!
DB: Oh, I love chocolate.
MK: So, you and I can share a box of chocolates?
Yes.
I'll eat all the dark ones... with the hard centers.
Oh, that's good, cuz I like the soft centers.
Oh, it's kismet!
Got some money?
No!
No, I'm serious - I haven't got any!
That's the same story all the damn time!
DB: Alright... (THEY LAUGH) BOTH: Chepstow!
DB: Yeah!
MK: Yee-ha!
Oh, my gosh, it's so blustery!
I've got the most important job for the day.
Absolutely.
Mustn't lose this.
My sanity goes with it!
"Welcome to Wales"!
VO: Myleene and David's last shop of the day is St Mary's Street Collectables.
We made it.
See what's in here.
OK!
VO: With time wearing on today, some swift and decisive shopping is required here.
Oh, look - Myleene has found one of her biggest fans.
D'you know, there's just too many toys to play with here.
I can't keep my mind focused.
Oh, no - this is one place Myleene's not coming into!
It's one place she's not even gonna come into and look.
VO: Very wise, David.
MK: He's clearly excellent at what he does.
The way his mind works, he's like 100 miles an hour, but he's just so funny.
(CLATTERING) Christopher Columbus!
Have you heard him?
"Christopher Columbus!"
That's so funny!
There's a little doll in there.
Myleene!
MK: Hello!
What about the dolly?
Oh, my God - it's the scariest thing I've ever seen in my life!
What, the hat?
The... the whole thing!
Look at her teeth!
Oh, that's good.
It's good to have the teeth showing, yes.
Really?!
They're almost as white as yours!
You!
So you're gonna charm me into buying this?!
No!
I think we ought to have a look at it.
VO: Antique dealer Dawn has the key to unlock David's latest find.
MK: Those dolls really freak me out!
They can be a bit scary, right?
And I'm sure they move at night!
I...
There!
See?
This is what I'm saying!
I think because often we've had teddy bears and dolls in the shop... and we nearly always find them in different positions.
That's... You're telling me that's not scary?!
God!
She's just took her head off!
Her hair's fallen off!
Sorry.
Well, look, I've been through that... D'you know what?
I think it...
I think... DB: (LAUGHS) MK: Christopher Columbus, this is not good!
DB: Oh, that is an awful hairstyle, isn't it?
DEALER: But it's original.
MK: I just think she's gonna come and scratch my eyes out or something, in the night.
DB: I...
I...
I shall sleep with her, so that it won't... won't disturb yours.
Can I please, just even... just put her head back on.
Be the only woman in your life that won't answer back, then!
(THEY LAUGH) DB: Made in Germany.
You had two main groups of doll manufacturing in Europe.
The major one was French.
Then the Germans stepped in and started producing them en masse.
And this one is modeled on a French doll.
These existed up until, let's say, the First World War - 1880 through till about 1914, that sort of period.
What you've got to consider is this was knitted by some granny... Oh no, you see, this is crochet.
My mum makes this all the time.
See, I like that bit - That's...
I think that's nice.
So that has an element of social history, and that's nice, and even down to the little underslip.
So how collectable are these dolls?
DB: They're still collectable.
DEALER: They are.
But they've got to be the right price.
DEALER: Mm.
DB: What's the price on that?
DEALER: Erm... trade on that'll be 45.
Is that the very best you can do?
Oh, you drive a hard bargain!
40.
DB: I think £40 is a little bit too much.
(WHISPERS) 20.
DEALER: (GASPS) Look, can I get you a seat?
25, there you are.
That's a bargain.
Split the difference.
22.
You promise you'll look after her?
Please, yes.
OK. Alright.
Done.
DB: Thank you very much.
DEALER: OK?
Thank you.
He really will look after her!
Good.
(LAUGHS) VO: Their £22 deal has just saved them £63 off the ticket price.
An unusual little lot, which could leave them sitting pretty.
Aw!
MK: Are you happy?
DB: I... MK: If you're happy, I'm happy.
DB: I'm very happy.
VO: I'm happy, they're happy.
So a valiant effort all round today but in the morrow, the show must go on.
Go now, rest your whirring minds, for tomorrow's performance will decide which team will triumph!
Night-night.
DH: How was your day with the gorgeous Myleene?
DB: Oh, I had a wonderful day!
We've got so much in common!
VO: Rise and shine, road trippers!
There's money to be spent and antiques to find.
And I can safely say there's a lot of lurve on the road!
We want the same cars in life - we both wear white trousers... VO: OK, David - keep your eye on the road, mate!
MK: So, how's it been going?
JB: I'm not telling you!
We're in a competition, babe!
Everybody knows me - everybody knows I have a competitive streak.
I like to win.
Barrowman, you're going down, down, down!
DB: David, could you keep your eyes on the road?
Well, I was...
I like looking at you, David!
Well, that's understandable!
OK, drive!
I've got a picture of you by my bed, you know.
VO: OK - pass the sickbag!
Yesterday our sassy stars forayed into the world of antiques finding.
While John took David H on a nostalgic jaunt... JB: Dugs.
DH: Dugs.
DH: Wally dugs.
JB: Wally dugs.
VO: Myleene had a ball, dressing up and finding all manner of headgear for the newly dubbed Barbarella!
That's David B to you and me.
(THEY LAUGH) VO: Despite all this mucking about, they did manage to buy a total of four items, for the modest sum of £222, including... ..the 1920s Deco ceiling shade... ..the late 19th century Burmantofts art pottery jardiniere, and the pair of arts and crafts chairs.
And who could forget that... (CLEARS THROAT) ..captivating china doll, with the enigmatic smile and the wooly hat?
Leaving them with £178 from their initial £400 budget to spend today.
Captain Jack isn't real!
He's real to me!
VO: Meanwhile, David Harper could do nothing to keep John from slipping into another dimension and picking up a timepiece from a bygone era.
Yes, their one purchase of the day was this 1930s grandmother clock, which, after some astute haggling, they acquired for £30, leaving our time agents with an astronomical £370 still to spend.
Our celebrities now, and their experts, are heading their way to sunny Newport, beginning their second day in the same shop.
VO: Newport made its money when huge amounts of coal were discovered in the Monmouthshire hills in the mid-18th century.
It went from being a little village to a booming town, once bigger than Cardiff.
Ooh!
So are we gonna go shopping, then?
Yes, we are.
Sounds like...
Sounds like you guys need to more shopping than us!
JB: Shut up!
DH: A lot more, a lot more.
DB: In we go.
MK: In we go.
DB: Ladies first.
VO: Myleene is right - the boys have got some serious catching up to do, and with both teams prowling for pieces at the right price here at Strawberry Water Junk, let's hope they can all play it nicely.
DB: Mylie.
MK: Hello.
DB: Now, it's a contemporary print.
But I think it's interesting, sort of primitive.
I'm just confused again, cuz I thought we were looking for antiques!
Well, this... Th... And you're telling me this is contemporary?
Well, it's fine art and antiques... MK: So that's OK?
DB: This comes into "fine art".
MK: OK. DX: D'you like this?
I don't know if I would have it, cuz that's a bit scary for me.
DB: Let's consider this.
Can we find something just less scary?
VO: Yes, David!
Walk away and count to 10!
Meanwhile... DH: This is Japanese.
It could possibly be Meiji period, which is 1868 to 1912.
It's the period when the Japanese were sending humungous quantities of stuff, like this, really decorative, to the western market.
OK.
If it's not that, it's safe to describe it as early 20th century, 1920s Satsuma ware, but all completely hand decorated, so it's a little piece of art on a pot.
Well, the shape's nice, but it's not something I would buy.
Right, OK.
But, as I said, I need to sometimes now take some of your expertise...
Right.
..and take it on board if you think something would sell.
VO: What's that, John?
You... take advice?
Huh, first time for everything, mate!
JB: Having looked at that, the price... DH: 145.
JB: That seems expensive to me.
VO: Shop proprietor John is primed to give the boys a price.
John, I'd love it to be 40.
DEALER: (CHUCKLES) JB: (LAUGHS) DH: He is an entertainer!
I tell you what, I'll do it for 70.
You said 70.
Cuz I thought I heard 50.
DH: I... That's what... That's cropping up in my mind.
DEALER: I'll do it for 60.
That's a risk.
John, if you can't do it for 50, I'll have to walk away from it.
He's tough, John.
Alright, 50.
50 quid.
JB: John, thank you very much.
DEALER: OK. DH: Thanks John, that's brilliant.
DEALER: Thank you.
JB: Really appreciate it.
VO: Uh-oh, Myleene's at it again!
What is it, what is it?
Oh no, oh God, it's terrible.
John!
Barbarella's gone blond!
Oh, you look fabulous.
It's Jason Donovan!
DH: Who's Jason Donovan?
JB: Ooh!
MK: Oh no!
JB: Jason, we love you.
MK: You look very Marilyn.
JB: Marilyn Monroe?
(THEY LAUGH) Sir, you have something in the window which I'd like to get out.
Oh, what are they... What are you conferring about?
Could you..?
JB: Up the price.
It's right in the corner, it's the Doulton piece, I think.
That brown glazed one right at the far end.
Right.
Just hold that, it's like a little ladies' handbag.
It is good, isn't it?
MK: Oh OK, so drinking on the go.
It's very cute.
How old is this?
It's probably dating from around about 1910, that sort of period, and it's copying an old leather bottle.
Oh yes, with the...
If you look at this, you can see the stitching all the way round.
But just look at the decoration.
Here we have a 17th century inn scene, with a woman drawing off liquor, wine, ale, what have you, and filling it in there.
On the other side, we have that gentleman there... ..who's now drinking from it.
That's a lot of drink.
I mean, you're not going to see the end of the day with that.
Are these very rare, are these quite unusual?
DEALER: Unusual.
DB: It's unusual, and... Oh gosh, I've just seen the price, 35.
Sir, what's the very best you can do on that?
DEALER: 25.
JB: Can you do a 20?
DEALER: We'll do it for 20.
DB: For £20.
Don't you think we have to think big?
I've already shown you something, and this...
He's getting cross with me.
He's getting cross with me.
And this is another nice piece, isn't it?
It could be our first lovers' tiff.
DB: I think this is a lovely piece of pottery.
Barbarella, is it going to do what we want it to do?
It is going to make a profit.
VO: Come on Myleene - David seems pretty sure about this one.
DB: I think this is a good buy.
MK: I trust you, I trust you.
Put it in a bag for you.
VO: Yup - you got to have faith.
The boys have spotted something sweet now - a confectioner's display case.
JB: Fry's Chocolate Cream.
This is really weird.
Go on.
But my grandmother, her treat for herself every Friday was a Fry's chocolate cream.
Well, that's very odd, because you know what my mother's treat is for herself?
JB: What?
DH: Fry's Chocolate Cream.
VO: Gosh - you guys have so much in common!
It's uncanny.
As we know, there's loads of other chocolates out there that you can buy...
Plenty, and just as nice.
Exactly.
But I like that.
It's gonna be too expensive.
VO: At £195, I'd say you were right!
JB: How much?
DH: I know.
Let's bring John in on this.
Yes, John.
What kind of money could it be?
Giveaway, 120 quid.
It's original.
And would it be really cheeky, but then again I am a cheeky chappy... What I would like to pay for it, 75-80.
I'll take 100.
90?
Oh jeez.
95.
DEALER: That's giveaway.
JB: OK, fine.
95.
DH: Are you happy?
JB: Yeah, I'm happy.
OK, John, thank you very much.
Good bit of negotiating, by the way.
Great, thank you very...
Thank you very much.
VO: John Barrowman!
You weren't kidding when you said you like to haggle!
And with that, the boys have managed to wrap up their second deal of the day.
Do you like that?
It's not like "oh wow!"
Well, just let's have a look at it.
Now, this was produced for sugar, cream, for your strawberries.
Cute.
That is cute.
So we've got this nice sort of strawberry or cranberry glass, some people call it ruby glass.
The interest in this is that all the little feet are perfect, and that's all pinched.
MK: I love that, it's like when you make a pie.
DB: Exactly.
MK: Then prick it with a fork.
That is such a very, very good comparison.
Also, when it's still in its molten form, that is a thin trail of opaque glass which is put round that as it's being twisted.
So we need to sell that at Wimbledon.
Well, yes.
I think it's nice... ..but I don't think it matches anything in cupboards, and I think people like that.
However, if someone can understand the story behind it, I think they'll love it then.
I think so as well.
What's the very best you can do on that, sir?
You've got 95.
£50.
Can I say 40, sir?
I'd cry.
So would I, if I don't get it at 40.
He will cry.
I don't want to see Barby cry.
40?
(MOUTHS) VO: Good lord David - the man has to eat!
Thank you very much.
VO: Another hefty haggle has left proprietor John somewhat beaten down.
Our David B's certainly a man who knows how to get what he wants - but what's this?
I suddenly realized I think you've got the wrong expert.
MK: (GASPS) DB: I really do.
MK: Do you think so?
DB: You've got the wrong expert.
Aunty Barby, you just want a hug.
VO: See?
I rest my case!
VO: John B and David H are making a dash for their last shop, 15 miles down the road in John's adopted home town of Cardiff.
Cardiff is of course the glorious capital of Wales.
Amongst its many famous sons is Terry Nation - the man who created the dreaded Daleks, and with whom our Captain Jack has had a fair few run ins.
JB: You know, I live in Cardiff.
DH: Yes.
People know me, I'm part of the neighborhood.
Yeah.
I'm like an old lamppost.
I will always be Scottish.
But we fell in love with Wales because of filming Doctor Who and Torchwood.
DH: Yes.
This is the Pump Station.
It's huge!
Seriously.
In fact, I bought my dining room chairs from here.
Cherubs.
Look at those women.
They used to have a huge hand that you could sit in.
DH: Really?
JB: Yeah.
VO: The Pumping Station, built on a site previously occupied by a treatment works, now houses over 40 independent traders and really is a major antiques and collectables destination.
It's a very big place, lots of stuff, and where should we begin?
Oh.
It's an aeroplane.
It's an airplane, one of my loves.
Look at that, that is a... Just gorgeous.
That's not an OLD aeroplane.
No, I know it's not, but do you know what, it's like a statement piece, it's something that's fun, it's, er...
It is you - you love cars, you love aeroplanes, boys' toys.
Is that for sale, that aeroplane?
MARK: 375.
JB: I'm John.
MARK: Mark.
JB: Mark, nice to meet you.
MARK: And you, sir.
JB: We're gonna walk around.
We'll talk later.
That OK?
MARK: No problem at all.
JB: Thank you, sir.
VO: Not sure whether that was a threat or a promise.
JB: Do you ever feel overwhelmed?
DH: So much stuff to take in.
Well get finding!
I just can't create it for you!
We've actually got to find it.
VO: Could this be their first tiff?
John, that doesn't scare you at all, does it?
No, cuz I defeated them.
And also, it was the Daleks actually made Jack realize... Because they killed him, and then he came back to life, so it made Jack realize that he was immortal.
Very worrying.
Though they are modern toys, there's a huge market out there for signed memorabilia of figures.
VO: Oh - and look who's here!
DH: Look at that.
There's you!
JB: It's good, isn't it?
There's you in a cabinet!
I've never actually been with anybody looking at themselves in a cabinet.
I have a six inch figure, and I also have a 12 inch and a 15 inch.
Which one do you prefer?
I prefer the 15.
There's two six inch models.
This one, which is the first edition one, Captain Jack in his Doctor Who outfit.
He does not have his long coat.
It's not real.
VO: Mm, yes.
I did have a hunch.
Thanks though!
I'm David, by the way.
Hi Pete, I'm John.
I think I might have recognized him.
I think you might even have one of his dolls in here, you... You don't sell very well!
(THEY LAUGH) Gee, thanks a lot, mate!
Ah!
Ah!
What have you seen?
No!
Yep, there it is.
That is the second one.
I helped with all the clothing, and chose the body.
They put you in a 3D electronic mold there, where they get your face...
Hang on a minute.
Which one's the real one?
Well, this one's about as wooden as that one!
I know what I'm thinking here.
Yes, yes.
Right?
One of those, together as a little lot.
Signed, what we like to call in the business provenance.
JB: Provenance.
DH: Provenance.
At this point, do we actually negotiate on the prices here with this gentleman?
As you winked at me, a fiver, John.
Fiver?
And one of the blue ones, for a pound, is that OK?
DEALER: Yes.
JB: Great, perfect.
VO: A nod and a wink - wow - I wish it was always that easy!
Er!
I'm Captain Jack.
21st century is when it all changes.
And you've got to be ready.
Give us a kiss.
Mwah.
(THEY LAUGH) VO: Hello.
Gosh, you two - you can't be that tired!
DH: Snuggly?
JB: Yeah.
DH: Yeah.
JB: I could spoon.
VO: Oh, lordy.
I was of two minds about what we saw when we first came in.
Not the aeroplane.
Yeah.
Does Captain Jack fly?
Captain Jack has his own spaceship.
Sorry, I forgot about that.
Yeah.
I have my heart set on it.
VO: No point in pillow talk, David - put your jammies on, John's made up his mind.
But with a price of £375, it looks like John's going to have to unleash his charm - again!
Mark.
I'm gonna be right upfront with you.
MARK: OK. JB: OK.
I have this amount to spend, and that's all I've got.
DH: And that means we have not one pound left.
That's it, we've blown everything.
That's kind of a harsh bid, isn't it?
I really, really, really, really, really would love for you to meet me on the price.
Can you go somewhat higher than that?
It's impossible.
Put it there.
Oh!
Fantastic.
We own an aeroplane.
You do.
Mark, I have to give you a hug for that.
Thank you very, very, very, very much.
That is absolutely brilliant.
DH: Really good of you.
Thank you very much.
VO: Yes, yet another dealer has fallen under John's spell!
Well, let's hope your dreams come true, old fruit, and this huge model aeroplane flies at auction!
On the road again - Myleene and Barbarella are making their way 30 miles northwest, to Treorchy, to sample one of the things Wales is so well known for.
The Welsh valleys are famed for their rugged beauty, their coal mining heritage and their world-renowned choral singers.
Taking a well earned break from their shopping trip, David has brought musical maestro Myleene to meet a group of men who together can create a sound which explains why Wales was dubbed "The Land of Song".
Choir member and archivist Dean will introduce them to the fellas.
MK: Yay!
BOTH: Oh!
Hi, I'm Dean Powell from the choir, from Treorchy Male Choir, nice to meet you.
MK: Oh, fabulous.
DEAN: Welcome to our home.
DEAN: Come and see the boys.
MK: You've been here some time?
We certainly have, yeah.
VO: It was in 1883 that the Treorchy Male Choir was officially formed.
Under the firm hand of conductor William Thomas, the choir were soon winning prizes and performing to the aristocracy of the day, culminating in an invitation to perform at Windsor Castle for Queen Victoria.
Since then, the choir has remained strong in numbers and has performed with countless musical stars.
Having recorded over 500 songs, the choir has toured the world stirring audiences wherever they go.
Just look at this.
# Heaven blessed # Bring him home # Bring him home... # # You have always been there... # Here they are.
# You can take # You can give # Let him be # Let him live # If I die # Let me die # Bring him # Home.
# That's just like a personal concert, DB: isn't it?
Absolutely super.
MK: Wow!
Hi boys!
Dean, when did this all begin?
It's such a marvelous sound.
Well being typically Welsh, it started in a pub - where else?
Right!
The beer is warm, that's how we sing so well!
In a public house just down the road, called the Red Cow.
Started way back in the 1880s, 1883 in fact.
DB: And who is your oldest member?
He's been in the choir since 1947, so this is his 65th year as a member, and it's Norman - where are you, Norman?
Norman, hello.
NORMAN: My dear.
How are you?
MK: Pleased to meet you.
What is it as a member of the choir, as the oldest-serving member of this choir, that sets you guys apart from everyone else?
Because we are far better singers!
That's fighting talk amongst the valleys here!
Well being the handsomest and the richest, what else do you want?
MK: Personally speaking, I don't think there's any other sound quite like a male voice choir.
It just... do they put something in the Welsh water?
Because when a male voice choir sings, it's just incredible, and even just walking in and hearing you guys then, just... emotions, it really kicks you in the stomach, doesn't it?
It's breathtaking really.
At the end of the day, we're an ordinary bunch of men together who can hold a tune, just about, then you suddenly find yourself standing on the stage of the Sydney Opera House to a full audience of 2,500 people going bananas.
How do you get into the choir then?
Do you all audition?
Yeah, and they have to stand in front of... Norman's saying he didn't!
HE didn't, but he was pre-audition.
He was, you know...
He was prehistoric pre-audition!
(THEY LAUGH) But, um... (LAUGHTER) Everyone auditions in front of our musical director.
So what kind of pieces do you guys like singing?
Do you like the showtunes, classical?
We feel very much at home singing, DEAN: still singing Welsh hymns.
DB: Yeah.
There's such a great fervor to them anyway, and... One of the first classical pieces I learned was a Welsh... Do you want to give us a song now?
I don't want to get it wrong!
I don't want to get my Welsh wrong!
MK: (SINGS IN WELSH) DEAN: Yeah.
Oh my... Am I the only one that knows that?
I should have practiced my pronunciation!
That was really good!
So would you ever let women into the choir?
(THEY EXCLAIM) What did I say?!
I'm going to take a seat!
What a chauvinist attitude to take!
What did I say?!
VO: Ha-ha!
Just time for one more number before our road trippers head off.
(THEY SING IN WELSH) # Amen # Amen # A-A-Amen # Amen.
# That was wonderful!
MK: Oh!
(LAUGHS) It does what it says on the tin!
(THEY LAUGH) DB: Thank you very much.
# A-A-Amen # Amen.
# VO: But now, here in a rather soggy Cardiff, it's time for each team to reveal what they've bought.
MK: Ta-dah!
DH: Are we going to be worried?
Oh my... Ooh... We've got a little... looks like a jug that would... A handbag for drink on the go.
The girl who needs everything!
DH: How much did you pay for it?
JB: 20?
MK: Yeah.
DB: Yes.
You might make your money back.
DB: Come on.
JB: OK, I know it's kind of of the Deco period, probably, but I don't like it.
Why not?
VO: Oh don't spare their feelings, will you, John?
Why?!
I don't like it because I don't like that there's a lack of detail in...
I can't tell if they're Oriental ladies or they're deco ladies... DB: They're Caribbean ladies.
MK: OK, I just want to show you, because I'm still waiting to fall in love with her.
Barbarella's got this very special relationship MK: with our little dolly here.
DH: Really?
But he says I'm wrong to be scared by her.
I mean, you tell me.
I think she's certainly one for the collectors.
I mean, it's not going to be an impulse purchase for someone who wants to take her home and cuddle her and love her.
I just...
It's a bit ugly.
Oh God!
I'd give her a makeover.
There's more.
DH: Oh.
MK: Oh.
They're a bit granny flat for me.
DB: Don't worry, you'll grow into it.
Will it stand the weight?
JB: Please, this is rear of the year!
Please tell me they're not Mackintosh, are they?
"They're Mackintosh, they're Mackintosh!"
Buy them for sure!
Cute, huh?
DH: They've got a look.
JB: I would recover them.
DH: OK, shall we reveal?
JB: So we do... Oh, cute.
DB: It's typical 1930s.
It's a safe buy.
And you paid around about 35 for it.
MK: No.
JB: 30.
DH: 30.
MK: Wow!
And it might make 70.
But if someone loves their granny, it'll make 200.
It has to be a very deep love.
VO: Ooh, ouch.
JB: This here... DH: Yes.
JB: The Japanese... DH: Satsuma.
You didn't pay that much for it, did you?
DH: 50 quid.
DB: And when do you think it was made?
Circa 1900, 1920.
I think it was made yesterday.
MK: (GASPS) DB: 20 years at most.
VO: David is clearly rattled here.
You've bought something else.
Let me guide your eyes over in this direction, because I bought an airplane.
DB: Oh my God, is that wonderful!
Isn't that wonderful!
Isn't that brilliant?
DB: And how much was that?
£219.
Every last penny.
Oh that's lovely, lovely, lovely.
MK: Oh my gosh.
Aw!
DB: And chocks away.
MK: Oh that's brilliant.
I really think that's a great adventure.
Oh, it's Doctor Who!
DH: No it isn't.
JB: It's Captain Jack.
DB: Oh!
MK: No!
DB: Oh, Captain Jack!
JB: We found two of myself.
It really is an antique, isn't it?!
MK: Amazing.
DB: How much was that?
A fiver and a pound, £6.
Is that what you've been reduced to?
Yes it is.
VO: Well, no-one was pulling any punches there.
Let's hear what else they have to say.
They've got some good stuff.
They've got some risky stuff.
Some of it I didn't like.
The Jack business - that could be their winner.
Yes.
Because if he signs it and he's there, and he's bouncing up and down, as he will be... As he will be.
..that'll go up in value.
We should have brought a Hear'Say doll!
JB: She did not like that doll.
(LAUGHS) Do you think maybe some of the things were purchased because Barbarella wanted them?
I got that distinct impression.
I found one last hat for you.
Oh!
(LAUGHS) It's cute, you know.
VO: Well, now for the main event: it's auction time, which today is 134 miles north in the beautiful village of Froncysyllte, close to the Welsh-English border.
VO: Cooper Barrington is a relatively young auction house, but with its monthly sale turning over up to 450 lots a time, it has people flocking from far and wide in search of antique treasures.
DH: Hello gorgeous!
MK: Hello!
DH: Nice to see you.
MK: Good to see you.
DH: Hello gorgeous!
JB: Hello!
DB: Hello, you alright?
MK: How are you?
Jeffrey Duke's oils on canvas.
12 I'm bid.
VO: And presiding over proceedings today is auctioneer Peter Worthington... 14.
VO: ..who will give us his thoughts on both teams' lots.
The Kingsware flagon could be a bit of a sleeper.
It's an interesting piece and we think it's quite rare.
The Fry's display cabinet, getting very hard to find these pieces nowadays.
I'm looking to see it make somewhere in the region of £150-200.
The aeroplane, it's hung from the ceiling of our saleroom.
I'm hoping that it won't be hung from the ceiling of the saleroom at the end.
It's my real worry of the sale, that one.
VO: Both teams started with £400 each.
Myleene and David B only spent £282, but on six very distinctive lots.
It is going to make a profit.
VO: Meanwhile, John and David H blew their entire wad on six items, which have been sorted out into five auction lots.
Ladies and gentlemen, eyes front.
The auction is about to begin.
First up is Myleene and David's porcelain doll.
Go on.
I'm coming up!
Wahey!
Wahey!
VO: What shenanigans are going on here then?
MK: OK, so starting at 40.
Do I have 40?
Do we have 45?
Or the doll gets it.
No.
PETER: Going once...
Going once, going twice, sold to the gentleman in the fabulous tie... (GAVEL) ..for £40!
MK: Woohoo!
JB: (CHEERS) VO: Highly unorthodox auction tactics, but not a bad start.
Next, John's action figures take center stage.
Two lots, one signed by the man himself.
And not to be outdone, John has taken to the rostrum too.
Oh lordy, this isn't how we do things on the Antiques Road Trip.
Well, let's hope for the best.
And we are starting it at?
PETER: £30.
JB: £30.
JB: Do we have 35?
PETER: Yes.
Do we have 40?
£40, and five.
Oh we do!
PETER: And five!
JB: And 60?
65?
DB: That's enough.
PETER: Five.
JB: Do we have £70?
PETER: Five if you like.
JB: Anybody 80?
PETER: 80, on the net.
On the internet, lovely.
£85.
Going once, 85 going twice.
JB: Sold.
(GAVEL) (CHEERING) VO: Gosh he's good.
And a great profit, considering he's only a beginner.
And that puts the boys in the lead.
Myleene and David B's cranberry glass sugar and cream set is up next.
Missed you.
PETER: Oh!
VO: Here we go again.
Having had a taste for encouraging bidders, there's no stopping Myleene now.
PETER: £40?
30, come on.
£20 then.
At £20, £20, £20, £20, who's having two now?
Two.
22.
24?
24.
26.
28.
£30.
35.
40.
DB: Oh!
PETER: At 40, 40, 40, and again, at £40.
Thank you!
633.
VO: Not quite the cat that got the cream with that lot.
After the auctioneer's commission, breaking even means making a loss.
Time now for John and David's grandmother clock.
Go gran!
It's of sentimental value to me because my grandmother did have one of these, and when we took it to America it was lost in a flood.
VO: (FEIGNS SOBBING) I think I'm gonna burst into tears!
I know, get out your hankie Peter!
VO: Oh dear.
He's doing his sob story again.
Oh lordy, I've never seen this on the rostrum before.
I just can't look.
PETER: 45.
JB: 45 on the internet.
£50.
55 on the internet, do I see 60?
£60.
PETER: 65 there.
JB: £65.
DH: Yes, good man.
PETER: £70 for the lady.
We have £70.
75.
75.
£80!
(HUMS) PETER: 85.
JB: £85.
JB: Do we have 100?
We have 100.
DH: Yes!
MK: Oh my God!
JB: 105?
105!
PETER: 110.
110!
JB: 110, sold.
(GAVEL) DH: Marvelous.
Marvelous.
MK: Well done.
Well done.
VO: John just proving that sentiment sells - plus a good hug.
Now, wasn't that worth 100 quid?
VO: Some would say a grand.
Next is David B's and Myleene's chairs.
PETER: 30 I have, at £30, £30, £30 come on.
Absolutely superb condition as well at £30.
VO: Good lord.
After that loss, you two might well need a seat.
Yeah, I'm very disappointed in those.
VO: Ha!
John and David's Japanese Satsuma vase is up next, and so is John.
£20.
£20.
PETER: 20 we've got.
PETER: 22, there we are.
JB: 22!
26?
JB: £26!
DH: Yes.
JB: Do we have 30?
DH: Yes.
JB: 34 we've got.
36.
DH: Yes!
JB: 42?
PETER: 42 he's having.
48?
Have we got it to 50?!
Now 55.
And we've got a no on 60.
JB: 55, and... sold.
(GAVEL) PETER: Thank you madam.
MK: Well done.
VO: So John, not even your unique style of auctioneering could raise much of a profit for your vase.
Myleene and David will be hoping their Burmantofts pot does better - and cue sales pitch.
Just how gorgeous is this?
50 to start it.
30.
30 I've got.
MK: Oh.
PETER: 35 sir?
35, 40.
45, 50.
50.
50.
50, you can't go wrong at this price.
50.
Come on.
At 55.
55.
60 now.
65.
At £65... VO: Clearly no-one is going potty for pottery today.
Will John and David's Fry's display case be the treat they both remember it being?
We'll start at 100.
VO: Well it will if John has anything to do with it.
JB: 120.
130.
PETER: 140.
JB: 140.
150?
We have 150, so £160.
170 we've got, 180.
180.
180?
JB: Sold.
DH: Yeah!
Well done.
That was really good.
VO: A treat indeed - that's the kind of sweet profit this pair need.
MK: Well done!
JB: That was good.
VO: Myleene and David B really need a profit with their 1920s art deco ceiling lightshade now, but since they've both found some cake, I don't think they care any more.
This is so good.
VO: Never speak with your mouth full.
MK: Mmm!
JB: You're up.
Am I up now?
VO: Cake or no cake, you can't keep a good girl down.
MK: Shall we start at 50?
55?
60?
Can I ask for 70?
60 in the room, going once, going twice.
MK: Sold for 60.
DH: Oh, well done.
Great result, David!
VO: I'm not sure David is that bothered.
With auction costs, they've made a loss there.
It's the moment of truth for John and David's biggest purchase - the huge model aeroplane.
I'm worried about our aeroplane.
And I'm a bit worried about it.
MK: Are you?
DH: Yeah.
VO: Worried or not, John looks determined to use his newfound auction skills to get the room bidding.
PETER: 100 to start.
100 to start then.
100 to start.
£50.
Goodness gracious!
£50 in the back, thank you.
Holy Moley!
For goodness sake, come on!
We have 55, do we have 60 with the man in the pinstripe suit?
DH: Yes, come on, you know you want that!
Go on, yes.
65.
70.
75.
Yes.
80?
85.
90.
Come on!
95.
100.
DH: Come on!
105.
PETER: It's gone very quiet John.
It has gone very quiet.
Er, £100.
Er!
JB: It pains me to say this... DH: Oh!
Sold!
Oh!
VO: Yikes.
Well, despite their plane failing to fly here, the boys are still well ahead in the lead at the moment.
If it's any consolation, it's the only loss you've made.
But it was a huge loss.
Yes.
VO: And finally, Myleene and David's last lot - the Royal Doulton Kingsware flagon.
Will Myleene be convinced that this was a good idea?
David was so sure.
PETER: And I must start the bidding at 100, and 10.
20, 30, 40, 50, 60 to start.
DH: No!
DB: Come on!
Come on!
DH: No!
MK: How did that just happen?!
170, 80, 90, 200, 10, 20, 40.
260.
DB: Come on, come on, come on.
PETER: 300 now.
300, 320.
MK: Woo-hoo!
PETER: 320, 340.
DH: Wow!
PETER: 340, 360.
PETER: 380.
DH: What?!
400.
At £400, the hammer will fall, take fair notice.
420.
420.
Wahey!
440.
For goodness' sake don't drop it!
(LAUGHTER) 460.
480.
500 now.
DH: Whoa, my goodness!
MK: Oh my gosh!
PETER: Come on... 500.
MK: Yes!
500, at 500.
550.
550.
550.
£22!
22 quid it cost!
At £550, and Myleene's not going to drop it... Is that all?!
MK: No, it's going!
PETER: At £550... (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Well done.
Oh my goodness!
VO: How's that for a wow factor, Myleene?
One of the biggest profits we've ever had on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
Well done, David B. MK: You are amazing.
DB: Oh!
DH: Aw, sweet.
Amazing.
VO: John and David H put in a great performance, making a profit of £34.60, meaning after auction costs, they wind up their road trip with £434.60 - a valiant effort.
VO: Whereas Myleene and David B are undoubtedly the unrivaled masters of the road trip, making a staggering £361.70 profit, meaning they wind up their road trip with - wait for it - £761.70.
So this "Klass" act pair are the clear winners... and all the profits generated from the auction will go to Children In Need.
MK: Barbarella!
DH: Barbarella!
MK: You are good.
John, thank you very much.
Pleasure.
Thank you very much, and I actually not only have had a good time but I've learned something - never to buy aeroplanes!
(HORN TOOTS) JB: Bye!
JB: Thank you!
DB: Bye!
I've had a great time.
Come on.
MK: It's been good.
JB: Maybe I'll start a new little hobby, buying antiques.
You and me.
The two antiques king and queen.
