VO: Some of the nation's favorite celebrities... Why have I got such expensive tastes?

VO: ..one antiques expert each... Oh!

(LAUGHS) That would be amazing.

VO: ..and one big challenge - who can seek out and buy the best antiques at the very best prices...

Answers on a postcard.

Oh!

VO: ..and auction for a big profit further down the road?

You're the expert!

VO: Who will spot the good investments?

Who will listen to advice?

Do you like it?

No, I think it's horrible.

VO: And who will be the first to say "Don't you know who I am?!"

Well done, us.

VO: Time to put your pedal to the metal - this is Celebrity Antiques Road Trip!

VO: Yeah!

VO: Today's multi-talented celebrity road trippers are the comedy coupling of Miles Jupp...

MILES: I'm not really a car person but it looks like one.

VO: ..and Nina Wadia.

Well I love cars, so...

Sounds like you should drive.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'll be in charge of the stereo.

VO: The very driven Nina is today driving a gorgeous 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider.

(ENGINE STARTS) I'll...I'll navigate.

I've got no sense of direction but I'll just do what I can.

VO: Nina's career has taken her from the fast lane of comedy to the streets and squares of Walford.

She played the much put-upon Zainab Masood.

MILES: How competitive are you?

Um...I'm competitive.

Specifically within the field of antiques or is it...?

I know nothing about antiques if I'm perfectly honest.

I'm someone who, if I go for something, I really go for it.

So already, are you getting quite pumped about the competitive aspect?

I'm going to beat you.

Then I'm competitive too.

Oh, OK. VO: Riding shotgun is funnyman Miles Jupp, who has been doing stand-up since he was a student.

Do you ever take motorbike taxis?

Yes, yeah, the passenger bikes, they're amazing.

I think it's really exciting.

Really?

It's a great way to see London or whatever when you're suddenly skimming from... Yeah.

But I didn't realize that, despite having like bikes, I hadn't realized that if you're on the back, there's handles behind you, I assume so I can...

So the guy dressed me up in the kit and he put the gloves on and stuff and then he got on and he said "right, you're getting on behind me" and I assumed what you were meant to do was hold him, sort of cuddle him from behind, and he went "there's actually handles if you want to..." "..if you'd rather hold the handles."

VO: He first became famous as Archie the inventor in kids' show "Balamory"... ..before moving onto political satire "The Thick Of It" and religious comedy "Rev".

We're about to meet antiques experts, is that right?

That's right, yes.

And they will choose us, I think.

Is that how it works?

Oh really?

VO: That's how it's going to work today, Miles.

And in a 1960 Morris Minor, the duo doing the choosing today are the incorrigible Thomas Plant... THOMAS: Morning Bradley!

(LAUGHS) VO: ..and the insatiable Catherine Southon.

Very nice legs, actually.

Do you like a cyclist?

I do like a cyclist.

My husband's a cyclist.

Yeah, you do, don't you?

VO: When he's not busy being Michael McIntyre's body double, Thomas loves a good auction and is an expert in jewelry, watches, silver and James Bond.

Yes, James Bond.

We've got everything on side today.

We've got this lovely Morris Minor, beautiful Morris Minor, we've got the sun shining, I've got you, what could possibly go wrong?

VO: There's nothing like tempting fate, girl!

Ooh, the pressure, the pressure!

VO: Our Catherine is an expert in scientific and medical instruments as well as maritime works of art, so who does she want controlling her compass today?

I think girls in the sports car, definitely.

Do you think so?

Yes.

So you're with Miles and I'm with Nina.

Do you think either of them know about antiques?

I...No, I don't.

I think Miles would, a little bit.

Do you think?

Actually, he could be a bit of a dark horse, couldn't he?

He's quite posh.

Don't you think this road is getting narrower and narrower?

I feel like we're all of a sudden... ..in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", we're going down to that little door.

It is getting narrower!

Where we go into the land of Oompa-Loompas.

# Oompa-Loompa... # VO: I can assure you it's not the land of the Oompa-Loompas you're heading to on this trip.

Because with £400 each to spend this trip we'll see our dynamic duos dealing and dueling across southwest England.

Starting off in High Wycombe, they'll be taking the backroads of Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Surrey and criss-crossing the Home Counties before heading to auction over 100 miles away in Gloucester.

Where are our celebs?

NINA: So what do you think they're going to look like?

Uh, Lovejoy, I presume.

CATHERINE (CS): Hello!

NINA: Oh, hiya.

Hello.

Working hard?

Oh yes.

Hi Nina, nice to meet you.

Sorry.

Hello.

Thomas.

Miles.

Hello.

THOMAS: I'd like an ice cream.

How much is that?

That's 3.60.

3.60.

There we are, that's...

Thanks very much indeed.

Ooh, he's already getting out the money.

But you didn't barter.

Oh, is that what...

Yes, that's what you've got to do.

There's always another price.

You can't barter with an ice cream lady!

Why not?!

Why not?

Thomas barters with anything.

Give us our money back, please.

It's alright.

It doesn't work!

VO: Before Thomas negotiates the 99 down to a 79, it's time for our teams to get going.

Come on.

NINA: Bye Miles.

MILES: Happy antiquing.

Good luck.

See you later.

See you later.

Bye Miles, see you.

We're so beating them.

VO: So, the boys might be in for a licking, but first they've got a slight problem - Miles is driving.

THOMAS: Mine's a bit tight.

Make the day run really smoothly.

I'm warming...I have to warm up for this.

I'm in a car... VO: The go-getting girls on the other hand seem to find this driving lark a whole lot easier.

Oh, perfect!

Well done, Nina.

VO: As the girls tear up the highway to their first shop, Miles is still struggling.

MILES: Oh... Oh no, I've done that "please overtake me maneuver".

Oh.

It's absolutely marvelous.

Are we turning left here or...

I think we're turning right.

That's it.

Go, you can turn right, it's fine.

That's pretty much the worst news I've ever had.

No, you'll be fine!

VO: After some tears, bad language and terrible driving, Miles and Thomas eventually complete the six mile trip to Marlow.

V At least the car is one piece.

MILES: Oh, for... You've broken it!

VO: Marvelous Marlow, or Great Marlow as it was known until the late 19th century, was given by William the Conqueror to his Queen Matilda after 1066.

She only wanted new shoes.

The town was passed down through various royal hands over the years before becoming a borough and changing its name.

So with £400 secreted about their persons, the Jupp-Plant combo meet Zoe Hynes of Buckingham Antiques.

THOMAS: Hello.

MILES: Hello, I'm Miles.

Hi.

Hi Miles, I'm Zoe.

Hi Zoe.

Hi, I'm Thomas.

Hi Thomas.

VO: It doesn't take long until something catches cricket fanatic Miles' eye.

There's a matching... Look at that, a little Staffordshire set.

I don't know the fact that I really like cricket is going to affect the price that the thing is going to sell at at auction.

No.

VO: No, I don't think that will affect the value, Miles.

You are the seller, old boy - not the buyer!

Thomas spots an enameled dressing table set that he thinks might be a goer with a ticket price of £200.

THOMAS: This is guilloche enamel, which is a translucent enamel.

The silver has been made by a silversmith and then engine turned...

Pardon?

Engine turned.

This designing is called engine turned.

VO: Engine turned engraving makes the precise pattern on the base metal, which is then visible under the enamel.

And then the enamel, which is basically glass beads, has been applied over, and then it's fired to give it this design, and then the mirror is put in.

Right.

It's got a bevel to the mirror as well, so there's another sign of quality.

VO: But Miles isn't impressed.

MILES: I don't...

I mean, I don't really like it.

These are very commercial at the moment.

Very commercial?

Yeah.

I mean, you don't have to like it to buy it.

No, I hear what you're saying.

It does seem like a lot of hair brushes.

This is showy.

Mm-hm.

So this comes at the auction, people will see it, "oh, that's a nice set".

MILES: That's good.

There's five of them in blue.

Five of them, etc.

It's blue, it's shiny.

One is for clothes, one's for your hair.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, if you want to buy it, as I never tire of saying to completely random strangers, you're the expert!

VO: Yes, he is the expert.

So watch and learn, Miles.

Is there any movement on that price please?

I could do a little bit for you.

What do you mean "a little bit"?

Take you down to 180.

The 180 is a bit more than I wanted to pay.

Is there any way you can work some magic for me?

175.

That's a £5 discount.

I was thinking maybe a little bit more than that.

Is this your haggling stance?

It's...I'm...

Yes, it is!

VO: Watch, don't interrupt, Miles.

I'm picking up tips as well.

You are, you are picking up tips.

Right, absolute best price 170.

I know this isn't haggling, but 15% sounds like a pretty good discount to me.

Shh!

VO: That's the opposite of haggling, Miles.

So unfortunately 170 would be bottom price.

I think we should go for it.

Yeah, I'm... Are you happy?

I'm absolutely up for that, yeah.

£170, very reasonable.

Not reasonable, I had 140 in mind!

OK.

But there you are.

Anyway, 170.

VO: Having sabotaged Tom's deal, Miles now needs to hand over the cash to Zoe.

Whoa!

I hope they're clean socks.

MILES: There you are.

Oh, I have a question.

Do you really work at the shop?

(ALL LAUGH) VO: Having confirmed Zoe's credentials and accepted Tom's expertise, Miles is happy to continue.

Catherine and Nina, meanwhile, have made a nine mile journey through Buckinghamshire, between High Wycombe and their first shop in Burnham.

Time to discuss tactics.

Do we go for like one massively huge item, or do we...don't take a chance like that and just buy little things?

CS: We'll probably buy about four or five items, and buy... Aw!

CS: No?

NINA: Nh-nn.

No?

OK!

I say if you're going to go down, go down in a blaze of glory.

What do you reckon?

And then, if things don't go right for us, then we drive off a cliff in this car.

What do you reckon?

Thelma and Louise style.

Yes, let's do a Thelma and Louise, absolutely, I like the sound of that.

CS: And here we are.

Burnham Village.

Yay!

This is our first stop, this is where our first shop is.

VO: In the Middle Ages, beautiful Burnham was the overnight stop-off point between London and Bath.

But in the 20th century it earned some fame as a movie location for some of the Carry On films and Kevin Costner's Robin Hood.

This is our first shop.

VO: Will Nina and Catherine be robbing the rich to give to the poor or will it turn into a bit of a carry-on?

First stop for them and their £400 is Burnham Emporium.

Never been to an antiques shop?

Never.

This is going to be fun.

VO: And in charge of the fun are dealer Judy Ditchburn and Ann Ford, the manageress.

Right, let's go!

What are we going to buy, Nina?

Uh, I think we should go that way and look for something.

CS: Jade.

NINA: Jade!

VO: According to Chinese folklore, laughing Buddha figures like these can bring good luck.

You might need it today!

Oh, he's beautiful, look!

You can feel the good luck.

You have to rub their bellies like that.

And feel...the good luck?

The good luck!

Absolutely.

Before an audition, that's what I used to do... We need it.

We need good luck.

..rub my dad's belly.

£150.

CS: I don't think we can afford that.

No, we have £400!

The most important thing with jade is really to look at how well carved it is.

I feel real, real good luck from him.

Do you?

I really do, I'm not joking.

I don't think it's terribly well carved, though.

Oh, I do.

VO: Hmm, I sense there may be some differing opinions ahead from these two.

Should we look around as well in case there's something else, because you're making me nervous now you're saying it's not carved properly.

I think it's really mean, that Buddha's crying now.

VO: He's clearly devastated.

Right.

We need something really strange and...

There must be something in here.

What about buying a group load of, like, silver?

Yeah.

You're not interested in that, I can tell.

Is it in my voice?

Yeah.

I thought Nina was going to go with the flow, but she's very fixed on what she wants.

She's a lady that likes to say no.

She's a hard woman to please!

I'm very sorry.

But hey, I'm up to a challenge.

VO: But Judy thinks this little pooch, painted by French artist Pierre Rinsard, might get a "yes" out of Nina.

Looks amazing.

It looks amazing.

I actually really don't like these dogs at all.

Oh really?

VO: Catherine may not like it, but these sketchy kitsch early 20th century animal prints are currently, apparently, rather popular.

What do you think?

I mean, I can take, obviously I can do better than I put on there.

I can do about 65.

I think we'd need to go... ..a lot lower.

..further down.

What's "a lot lower"?

£20.

Oh no, no, no, I can't, there's no way I can... Gosh, she is a haggler!

No, I can't do it for 20.

Could you do it for 40?

That would be...Yeah.

Please.

45 and then I'm making about a pound on it!

Shall I leave you to think about it?

Yes, please.

Yes, let's leave us to think about it.

VO: Catherine and Nina are struggling to get an item until a spot of patriotism takes hold.

CS: Oh, that's very English, all the bunting.

VO: I think you'll find that's the British flag.

MUSIC: "Rule Britannia" Look at that, look at that, that's beautiful.

I just think it's lovely.

How much is it?

Oh...£55.

How much?

55.

I mean, we'd want to pay about 20.

VO: Hm.

55 seems a bit high, so Ann gives Sarah, the owner of the bunting, a call, to see if they can get it for £25.

They're looking at your bunting that's in cabinet number one, what would be the best price on it?

OK, hold on.

She can do it for 30, that's the best she can do.

OK, thanks.

Bye.

I like the flags.

The bunting.

Do you want the pooch and the flags?

Unless... We could get a deal maybe on the two.

OK. Let's try.

Do you want to see if you can do that?

Yeah, let's do it.

VO: They're going to try and get a deal on both of them, but with different owners for each item, that could prove tricky.

I will shave a couple more pounds off the pooch.

VO: Especially with the uncompromising Ann as the go-between.

CS: And do you think your lovely friend would shave a couple of pounds off hers?

No.

It's 30.

What do you think, Buddha?

Talk to me.

Oh, he says you're right.

Does he?!

Yeah, he says we should get these, so I think we should.

Thanks, Buddha.

OK, let's do it.

Yes and yes.

OK, done.

VO: So with £30 paid for the bunting, £43 for the painting and the Buddha left to meditate, Catherine and Nina hit the road.

Which is what Miles would be doing if he could master the Morris Minor.

Ha!

THOMAS: That's it, you've pushed to no gear at all.

Just put it in second.

Can you smell burning?

Yeah, but don't worry about that, you're fine.

MILES: # Baby we were born to run.

# Du-du-du-duh.

# VO: After a lot of blood, swearing and tears, Miles and Thomas finally make the five-mile trip north from Marlow back to High Wycombe.

While they're in the area, they want to find out more about the industry that put the town on the map.

This corner of England is famous for furniture and the craftsmen and artisans of the town not only revolutionized the industry, but gave the whole empire something to sit on.

MILES: # Baby we were born to run.

# VO: Educating our boys is Wycombe Museum curator Catherine Grigg.

She's sure going to have her work cut out.

Hello, I'm Thomas.

Hello, I'm Catherine.

Welcome to Wycombe Museum.

Hello, I'm Miles, I'm a learner driver.

(ALL LAUGH) Right, come on!

VO: Loads of local beechwood, good transport links to London and a surplus of labor caused by the mechanization of the local paper mills meant High Wycombe was perfectly placed to take advantage of the demands of an expanding empire.

The town produced all manner of furniture, but it was chairs that High Wycombe left the rest of the world's behinds behind in.

The first mass-produced chair in the world was built right here and named the Windsor chair.

It was so called because the chairs were shipped from nearby Windsor to London, and then to the rest of the empire, in a surprisingly modern way.

CATHERINE: You could take the whole of the back bit off, and you would be left with a stool.

All the top bits slot into the seat, into little holes from the top.

THOMAS: So it's a bit like your flat-pack furniture of today, but 19th century?

Yeah.

The ones that were shipped around the empire were shipped flat-packed.

MILES: Then there's effectively an industry standard for size, everyone makes the same length legs, everyone makes the same size backs or whatever.

Lots of people were making specifically a Windsor chair, I suppose.

Yes.

How many chairs were made like this?

Hundreds of thousands?

Well, I can tell you that in 1877, when Queen Victoria came to visit, they were making 4,700 chairs per day.

That's an unbelievable amount to think about.

What is it, a six-hour, six-day week... VO: I can hear the cogs whirring in his head.

A six-day week, six times four is 24,000, seven sixes is another 42, so that's 28,200 chairs a week.

That is...

Stunning, isn't it?

That's a busy old High Wycombe.

VO: That's right, Miles - over a staggering 28,000 chairs produced in a week, flat-packed and then shipped around the world.

But who made these chairs?

Well, in the early days, craftsmen based themselves out in High Wycombe's woods to make legs for the chairs using green timber, which, when assembled, helped to make a sturdier construction.

The men making the legs were known as bodgers, but it was their colleagues in the workshops who are providing a lot of amusement now for Miles and Thomas.

There would be a different man who would make the chair seats and his job was known as a bottomer, cuz he was shaping the chair seats.

Right.

Someone else would put all the parts in the chair... Another job, I dare say, you could take on, perform with some panache.

THOMAS: Do you get kids coming in here?

And I bet you can't keep a straight face.

They giggle, we get the school classrooms...classes of schoolchildren in every week, and that's the bit they always remember.

Would you be a bottomer or a bodger?

Ooh... Where would you like to be, in the woods or in the factory?

I think I'd like to be in the woods.

Yeah, I would like to be in the woods, actually.

Yeah.

Do you want to have a go at bodging?

I'd love a go at bodging.

Yeah, yeah, great.

Have a go and get the idea.

Oh right.

Go on, you have a go.

If you get a sort of rhythm going, you can get really... VO: Although the word "bodging" has come to mean making a bad job of something - like Miles is doing here - the bodgers were actually skilled artisans.

It's a real skill, isn't it, proper wood-turning.

CATHERINE: It really is.

VO: Not only were they skilled craftsmen, they were designers, as this rather clever upside-down chair demonstrates.

CATHERINE: If you went out in the morning to your garden and you wanted to sit down and relax and it had rained overnight or...there was bird poo on it, you could simply turn the chair the right way round - and it works just as well the other way round.

So it's exactly the same, it's like a mirror image of each other?

It's a mirror image.

I can't believe these aren't made now, it's a brilliant idea.

You've got one, have you?

No, I haven't.

We want to find one of these in our travels.

Could I sit in it?

I'm really sorry, we don't let people sit in our chairs, and this one's particularly fragile and we only know of one other chair like this in existence, so we can't let you...

But it's got two sides, I mean...

But you might break it.

Could I sit in one of them?

I'm sorry, you cannot sit in both sides.

OK.

I think we need to work on the design for this, because we could market it, couldn't we?

Yeah, well, I've not sat in it, I don't know if it's worth it.

But you're now a turner, I've seen you.

You're a bodger, you could have a go.

I could be a bottomer.

Come on.

Just wanted to sit in it.

Come on, let's go.

VO: So with Miles' and Thomas' plans for a future furniture enterprise yet to be worked out, let's say chair-io to High Wycombe.

Both teams now have purchases under their belts and Catherine and Nina are heading four and a half miles up the road to Maidenhead.

As a high flyer in her own career, Nina's come here to Maidenhead Heritage Centre to find out about female high flyers of a completely different kind.

Just some tricky parking to deal with first.

I can't believe I did that after all that!

No way!

In we go... Oh... VO: Oh.

Nearly.

And again?

You are... VO: Well done!

You are a top dog!

VO: You think parking an Alfa Romeo Spider is tough, Nina?

Well, wait until you find out more about the amazing women of the Air Transport Auxiliary and their vital but largely unknown role in helping to win World War II.

It's all detailed here in the "Grandma Flew Spitfires" exhibition, curated by John Webster.

Hello ladies, welcome, welcome to Maidenhead and our heritage center.

Catherine, hi there, nice to meet you.

VO: The brave women of the Air Transport Auxiliary, or ATA, took over non-military flying duties during the war so that the male pilots were left free to fight the enemy.

They risked their lives flying planes and personnel between airfields, factories and maintenance sites in highly dangerous conditions.

JOHN: Here we have the founders.

Mm-hm.

Gerard D'Erlanger for the men, and Pauline Gower for the women.

VO: At the start of the war, women weren't allowed to fly in the military or the ATA, but thanks to this remarkable woman, Pauline Gower, the ATA took the radical step of letting them join.

She also fought to win equal pay and conditions, making the ATA one of the first equal opportunities employers in the world.

JOHN: There was a tremendous amount of opposition to allowing females to fly the king's aeroplanes.

I can imagine.

Eventually, the powers-that-be relaxed their attitude and the women went on to fly all manner of operational aircraft.

VO: These women with wings flew their planes without radios, little in the way of instruments, and at the mercy of the British weather, using only local landmarks to guide them.

They were often asked to fly types of planes they had never flown before and only had this little guidebook to help them.

JOHN: And a lot of them were single seat aircraft, so you couldn't have someone...

So you didn't have anyone to help you?

You couldn't have someone to help you.

Oh gosh.

All you had was a little book, like this, each pilot was issued... Oh, that's ridiculous.

..with a little set of notes.

There's a lovely remark in this one, which says "the Beaufort will fly on one engine, but needs very firm handling."

NINA: A bit like the car, really.

VO: Perhaps the most famous ATA pilot was Amy Johnson.

Before the war, the glamorous and daring Amy stunned the world with various flying records, most notably being the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia.

Here is a collected...

It's in fact a collection of logbooks bound together of Philippa Bennett, and there are references in here to flying with Amy Johnson.

VO: Sadly, Amy was also the first ATA pilot to die during the war, when she bailed out over the Thames in bad weather, giving her life in the service of her country.

I'm so...

I knew nothing about this...

This is amazing.

..and this is so fascinating, so...

It just shows how brave you had to be.

VO: It's hard today for Nina to imagine what her sisters in the sky experienced decades ago, but there's something here that might just help.

JOHN: Here at Maidenhead, we have built a Spitfire simulator.

Um... And we'd love you to try it out.

Yes, that would be incredible!

VO: Her instructor is Christopher Hobbs.

Right, so have you flown before?

Any sort of plane?

Yes, several Spitfires when I was young.

No, I've never flown before!

Never flown before.

OK, well, we'll start from the basics and we'll work from there.

VO: Let's hope Nina can fly a Spitfire better than she can park.

Will the example of the brave women of the ATA inspire her to reach for the skies, or will she be brought back down to earth with a bump?

Chocks away!

NINA: Got it.

That's it, that's good.

We should really do a roll, shouldn't we?

Oh no!

We're going for a roll.

OK. Watch the horizon, there it goes.

ALL: Wow!

And you'll find it staying there gently.

Ah!

VO: Now let's see if Nina can bring this crate in to land.

Ooh, I need to get the nose down, don't I?

Yes.

So push.

Almost there, almost there.

Whoa!

Push back.

Bit of a bounce, bit of a bounce.

NINA: Oh no, terrible!

Oh dear!

Oh no!

We've got an emergency.

Get the fire out.

That's really incredible.

I think that deserves a certificate, don't you?

Oh no, I can't possibly accept it!

Yes, I think so.

Well done, that was a good flight.

We'll get the landing right next time.

Thank you very much, I will treasure that.

Thank you.

VO: Well, that was the world of the ATA and those magnificent women in their flying machines.

Catherine and Nina are done for the day and so are our not-so-magnificent men in their driving machine.

It's been planes, chairs and automobiles today.

Who knows what tomorrow might bring?

Night night.

VO: Yes, it's a new day and another chance for our antiques experts to do battle!

CS: Did you do anything yesterday?

Did you buy anything?

We bought one thing.

One thing!

That's pathetic!

THOMAS: It was quite expensive as well.

CS: How much?

It was over £100.

VO: Ha!

What you and Miles actually spent, Thomas, is a rather large £170 on one item - a very fetching blue art deco silver and enamel dressing table set.

Which leaves Team Jupp with a fighting fund of £230 for the day ahead.

Nina and Catherine spent a somewhat stingy £73 on some vintage bunting at £30...

It's wonderful.

I love it.

It smells good as well.

VO: ..and a 19th century painting by French artist Pierre Rinsard, costing £43.

Magnifique!

Possiblement.

That little dog leaves them with a big kitty of £327.

But with a day's road tripping behind them, what do our experts think of their fellow travelers?

THOMAS: How did you get on with Nina?

The one thing I would say about her is she actually really has her mind made up.

Showed her something - "no".

Showed her something - "no".

She's a woman who knows what she wants.

Oh my, does she!

MILES: Do you find that you agree about what sort of things you're looking for, what to buy?

Absolutely not.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

What I wanted to do from the beginning was buy one really unusual weird big piece.

Right.

Has it become quite heated?

It did.

VO: So there's some tension on the road.

Nina is desperate to splash the cash on something she really likes.

But can our experts keep our celebrities and their expectations in check?

Yesterday took both our teams through beautiful Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.

But today, Teams Wadia and Jupp will be traveling through stunning Surrey, starting off their day on foot in East Molesey.

East Molesey was once known as the bare-knuckle boxing capital of Britain.

It's a lot more civilized today, but we might yet see a bit of sparring between our experts and celebs.

I've been hearing about your purchases, so just remind me... You told him?!

No, I didn't tell him what we bought, I just...

I'm so upset now.

I told him that we didn't spend a huge amount.

They did.

They spent loads.

We absolutely splashed out.

We did.

We flashed the cash.

How many items did you buy?

One, but it has five component parts.

See, I said that's what I want to do!

One big one.

She's telling me off now!

THOMAS: Come on, let's go buy another better item!

Oh... We're going into there!

I think the first thing I need you to do is just go round here, get a selection of the menus of the local restaurants and then I can have a real proper think about what I'm going to have... ..for lunch!

You're always thinking about lunch!

Come on, in we go.

Well, no, there's other meals.

DEALER: Good morning, hi.

MILES: Hello.

DEALER: Hi, how are you?

I'm fine.

I'm Thomas, hello.

What's your name?

Lesley.

Lesley.

Nice to meet you, Lesley.

VO: The lovely Lesley Denny has been a dealer at Hampton Court Antiques for over 16 years, and the shop is big enough for Thom to indulge one of his odder habits.

One of the things I find oddest about him is that when he's not on camera, he always wears a pith helmet.

But it's very hard to catch him.

I was rather taken with some of the things in this...

Were you?

Yeah.

THOMAS: What's this tantalus marked up at?

Do you like a tantalus?

I like a good tantalus.

What's a tantalus?

A tantalus is a decanter like that, a decanter stand, where you've got three bottles in there, and they would have been whisky, cognac or brandy.

Oh I see, it's got a handle, that's good.

It's got a handle.

That means it's perfect for picnics, doesn't it?

Perfect!

VO: This particular tantalus was made by the famous silversmiths Mappin and Webb.

They were used by the upper classes to keep booze locked away from the staff.

What can I do for you?

This tantalus in this cabinet hasn't got a price tag on it.

Oh, what a surprise.

I'll make a phonecall.

VO: While Lesley calls Steven, the owner, Miles spots something else he'd like to digest.

No, not his lunch.

MILES: Something I've always imagined gets a lot of money is a special Reader's Digest, and I believe...

I mean, what's great about these is you get four novels, and they've all been abridged.

The people of the Cotswolds, they do not have time to read full length books.

This would be absolutely perfect.

That could represent some people's entire retirement reading.

Any news down the wires?

Yes, I have... Is he on the phone?

He is on the phone, and the best possible price for cash is 150.

I was thinking more like two figures, to be candid.

LESLEY: Steven, could you have a word with Thomas?

VO: A deal on the tantalus is tantalizingly close.

Ha!

Hello, Steven?

Hi, how are you?

VO: But Miles' mind has turned to a much more important subject - lunch.

Meanwhile, I've got a menu to peruse so I can get on with the sensible business.

So 120 is your final offer?

OK, OK.

I was really thinking 95.

No, I know.

I know.

OK. Alright.

No, I understand.

I think that's very fair.

Thank you.

I'll have to talk to Miles.

OK. Alright.

Bye bye.

Bye.

Miles, do you want to know about the tantalus?

Oh yes, uh... 120.

Well, 120 sounds alright.

Shall we buy it?

Yeah, yeah.

We'd love to buy this.

OK, we'll take it round to the counter and do the deal.

VO: With a price agreed on the tantalus, Thomas spots another upper class accoutrement for sale.

MILES: Ah, now this is one of these...

Yes, these are great.

These are great, aren't they?

They're fun, aren't they?

A three-room bell indicator box.

It's in our price range.

£45.

Would you do any of your hard negotiations?

I think so.

VO: This is an Edwardian beech bell indicator box, which you used to summon servants, presumably the ones who weren't stealing your booze.

Is this something that you've already experience of selling?

Yes, I have.

They're quite delightful.

And who is in the market for these sorts of things?

Well I think people in the Cotswolds would like something like this, to have in their kitchen, it's quite fun, isn't it?

LESLEY: I can get you a good price on that.

Do you like that?

I think that's delightful.

I think it's fun.

People put it up almost as a novelty item?

As a novelty item to have in one's kitchen, and the kids will say "what is that, Mummy, Daddy" etc, and it's a whole story about when we were rich, once we had staff and there was a bell underneath the table and they'd come scurrying in, etc etc.

VO: Do you know, Thomas has never really got over letting the staff go.

Never mind, he's now got Lesley doing his bidding with the box's owner Tony.

Tom is interested in your indicator box, the three-room bell indicator box.

You've got £45 on it, and I said that you were very generous and you'd give them a very good price.

VO: Oh, Lesley, you sweet-talker, you.

He'll take £10 off, it'll be 35.

Do you think he would be kind enough to take £15 off?

Would you be able to come down to 30?

I told you he was a nice man - he'll do 30 for you.

Isn't that lovely?

He's a very nice man.

Very nice man.

He's a very nice man.

Very very nice man.

VO: He's a very nice man.

OK, thank you, Tony.

Thank you.

I'm worried that you're running away with yourself.

No, no, I don't think so.

I'd like to take two or three hours to choose the next item.

Really?

And I don't want it to cost more than £4.

VO: Just down the road, literally, are Catherine and Nina.

They're checking out Lesley's near neighbor Sue Haswell and her shop, Bridge Road Antiques.

Nice to meet you.

We want to spend some money today, don't we?

NINA: What is that?

Ooh!

What is it?

An armadillo?

Is it alive?

Oh, it's armadillo!

Oh my god, a real one?!

Yeah, a real one.

Oh!

Eek!

VO: Nina is attracted to the more weird and wonderful items.

What is wrong with me?!

VO: While Catherine is interested in things that are a bit more, well, practical.

Do you like these storage jars?

Oh, no.

VO: Nice try, Catherine.

NINA: Oh, what about a rocking horse?

Look at this.

NINA: £475.

CS: Move on!

No, I like it!

No!

Move on!

Why?!

Because it... That's...

I mean, that would sell at auction for about £60.

No!

Honestly!

What if we bargain them right down?

Go on, then.

Go and see what you can get that for.

VO: Nina's been desperate to haggle for something she really likes since yesterday.

Now is her big chance.

Can I ask you something crazy?

Go on.

I really love that rocking horse.

Yeah.

But it's 400 and something.

Mm-hm.

Would you consider something crazy with this?

Depends how crazy.

I mean like seriously crazy, I'm talking like half price crazy, like £200.

Probably not.

Probably not 200?

No.

How about 150?

VO: Yeah, going lower with your price isn't quite how haggling works, Nina.

It's getting better!

I think she wants something that's got a wow factor, and I think that probably has the wow factor, doesn't it, Nina?

Yes, it does, it absolutely does.

VO: Nina is so determined to see everything, she's got Sue bringing boxes of stuff out for them to have a good rummage in.

But eventually they find hidden treasure - well, most of it.

When you've got dressing table sets, all the things that people want, they want the mirrors.

Come on, mirror, where are you?

There's a mirror there.

VO: The dressing table set is looking promising, but Nina is dropping not-so-subtle hints about what she wants to buy.

Looks like you want that horse, don't you?

What made you think of that?

CS: Sue, I think we need your help.

OK.

Put all this stuff together and they'd have a whole set of silver things.

VO: Edwardian Rococo silver sets like this are still popular, but with all the pieces not matching, and a damaged mirror, it's not a stellar item.

But it could still sell for its scrap value.

I think £60 for all of that.

I can't.

We'd want the whole thing together.

I know, but I'm just not going to be anywhere near you, I'm really not.

VO: The girls are trying, but Sue isn't for budging.

SUE: I'd say 120.

CS: My whole problem with this is that it doesn't really all match perfectly.

SUE: No.

I think we would be very happy to give you £100 for the lot.

VO: In a rare show of unity, Catherine and Nina agree £100 for the dressing table set with Sue.

SUE: OK. CS: Yes?

Perfect.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, thank you.

Sue, thank you very much indeed.

Thank you for being so patient.

You really have been!

VO: Nina still wants that big one item though - will they get it before the end of the day?

Outside however, dastardly deeds are afoot.

Those naughty boys Miles and Thomas have decided it's time for a spot of joy-riding - in Nina and Catherine's car.

How dare they!?

Yeah, this is really nice, it's really comfortable.

Sit in it.

I think we're going to steal this off the girls.

VO: The next stop for them, in their stolen car, is just three miles along the road in Walton-on-Thames.

THOMAS: This is a much better car, isn't it?

VO: And it's a chance for Thomas to find out more about Miles, whose recent role as a trainee vicar in "Rev" could have been art imitating life.

THOMAS: Where did you go to university?

I went to Edinburgh.

And what did you read?

I did a degree in divinity.

In fact now, today, a lot of my best friends are people I met on that course.

Are they all priests?

No, none of them are priests.

VO: But it's his antiques buying skills that Miles would like to be recognized for now.

I'm going to choose whatever it is that we get next.

You're going to choose it?

I'm going to choose.

Shall I just sit back and have a cup of tea?

Yeah.

Or you could nip out and get us some coffees or something.

VO: Ha!

Miles has been learning from the master since yesterday, and now he's finally in charge.

Miles studied divinity, he's played a reverend and in real life his dad actually was a vicar, so it's only fitting that their last port of call has an ecclesiastical theme.

THOMAS: Antique Church Furnishings.

MILES: Oh, I really like church chairs.

VO: Time is running out for the boys, and with only £80 left, so is money.

But Miles still won't let the Reader's Digest debacle go.

MILES: Six, what was it?

Six books - are you telling me in the Cotswolds there's six books?

People would bite your hand off.

And it's not just six books, but each book contains four books.

That's 24 novels.

24 condensed novels.

Disappointingly condensed.

They're not disappointingly condensed at all.

They've taken out all the tedious bits.

Honestly, I'm not listening to this any longer.

Come on.

There we are.

Do you think the girls are going to be angry that we've stolen their car?

Um, I don't know.

Of course, yes, they will, won't they?

It'll be very funny.

VO: In case you hadn't guessed, this place sells church furnishings, and to show them round is Lawrence Skilling.

THOMAS: I love religious artefacts.

I think they're all fabulous because so much devotion and love has gone into them.

Oh look, look, we know all about these, don't we?

Oh, we do.

Windsor chairs.

We do, we know all about the Windsor chairs, we went around the museum.

VO: Oh, dear, are these two going to go all giggly again?

Oh gosh.

Yet unlike at the museum, we can actually sit on them.

We can!

How do you feel?

They're good, aren't they, chairs?

This is fabulous.

If you live in the Cotswolds, you'd want one of these... You could have one of these in your kitchen.

I think you could.

(THOMAS LAUGHS) It's alright, isn't it?

That's good!

"F.A.P."

Answers on a postcard.

VO: I'll save you the stamp.

F.A.P.

stood for First Aid Post and it was part of the civil defense during World War II, offering first aid to civilians after regular bombing raids.

So now you know, Miles!

Do you like that?

This is great, but do you know, I really want to buy a pew.

THOMAS: I think we should get a pew, definitely.

VO: It's now Miles' turn to haggle.

Is God on his side or is the Devil in the detail?

Take a pew like this, this is currently marked at 275.

Now, a pew like this one here for instance, a £90.

That's our kind of loss leader pew, it's a kind of a pew equivalent of those cheap cans of beans.

It's the value range of pews.

That's right.

A pew for every pocket.

What is the best price you could do?

Because it's you, I'd knock a fiver off, make it £85.

£85.

What if I was to say to you £70?

I'd say that's just a chunk too much.

What about 75?

80 would be our "oh my God it really hurts" bottom, bottom price.

Bottom, bottom price.

Can I just interject?

Yes, let's hear what you've got to say.

Lawrence, £80, would you throw in that helmet as well?

LAWRENCE: No, absolutely not.

THOMAS: Go on.

No, no.

We've only got that 80 and we need to buy two more items.

VO: The boys are struggling until Miles has a novel idea - part exchange on one of the items Tom's picked.

We will give you the tantalus.

Tantalus?

No, we're not going to give the tantalus!

It's a special church tantalus and...

I like the idea of a tantalus, my mother-in-law's got one, I've always had a bit of a craving for one.

And what about two pews and a helmet for a tantalus and 80 quid?

(LAUGHS) What's the other pew?

Maybe this.

Where are you going with this, Miles?

Well, I thought if we could trade in a tantalus, I think this is a good thing to do.

Oh no, no.

Two pews and the helmet for a tantalus and 80 quid.

No, no, no!

VO: So that's two pews, a helmet and a dumbfounded antiques expert in return for a tantalus and £80.

That's either genius or madness - the auction will decide which.

Well done.

What a deal!

You were there and you were thinking 'we're going to spend so much'.

I've surprised myself.

Do you know why I've been able to come in and do this?

Why?

It's cuz I had a proper lunch.

(LAUGHS) LAWRENCE: That's the secret, yeah, to a happy life, really.

VO: Back in East Molesey, Nina and Catherine have left Bridge Road Antiques and traveled 200 yards up the road to lovely Lesley's Hampton Court Emporium.

Hello ladies, hello.

Hi, I'm Nina.

Hi, I'm Lesley, hello Nina.

Hello Lesley, I'm Catherine, good to meet you.

Hi there.

VO: They now have £227 left to spend and Nina is determined it's her pick next.

Come on, where are you hiding, this magnificent thing that I'm looking for?

Where are you hiding?

I don't know what you think about this.

Very stylish mirror.

You probably don't like it, but it's the whole thing art deco, which is very traditional, fan sort of shaped.

Yeah.

But what's good is you've got the pink glass as well, which is nice.

Pink glass and... OK. VO: Nina almost seems to like it.

CS: There's a chip at the bottom.

Oh, I didn't notice the chip till you pointed it out.

Is this yours?

No, but I can phone them.

I think that's nice, isn't it?

VO: At £60 it's very nice, but the problem for Nina is she didn't choose it.

Is that theirs as well, that mirror?

That's beautiful.

Now, I like that one.

I think that is gorgeous.

Yeah, that is nice.

VO: This eye-catching 1920s mirror, at £135, combines French and Egyptian styles - a combination that goes back to Napoleonic times.

That has the wow factor?

That has the wow factor for me.

Oh, thank the lord!

VO: With the wow factor found, Lesley gets on the phone to Valerie, the owner.

And she's come down to 80.

Oooh...

I do love that.

That would be amazing.

I'd go with it then.

Yeah?

I do like that mirror.

VO: So with one "wow" mirror in the bag for £80, Nina spots another.

Oh my gosh, look, look, look!

Another art deco mirror.

Wow.

That is nice too.

That's actually really beautiful.

You will love this, it's exactly what you're looking for without the chip.

It's incredible.

VO: We know you love it, Nina.

But put Catherine down, eh?

I saw it earlier and I thought 'oh, that's beautiful'.

VO: But at £145, they need to do a deal and the owner isn't contactable.

Lesley, meanwhile, has been hammering out a deal on the chipped one.

LESLEY: You're very lucky.

Why am I very lucky?

To have a persuasive duty manager!

LESLEY: £40.

NINA: We love you, Lesley.

VO: So that makes £120 for the Egyptian style and the chipped mirrors.

Looks like that's a deal to end the day and keep everyone happy.

But then we still have money left over and I really want to spend it all.

You're exhausting, Nina, that's what you are!

I'm exhausting!

On this hot, sticky day.

Antique dealers, no stamina whatsoever.

VO: There's £107 left, but the problem is that the pristine art deco mirror has a ticket price of £145, and Lesley can only go so low without the owner's permission.

I'll risk 1... ..25.

And that's risking it.

VO: That still leaves them £18 short.

So you can't actually have everything anyway.

No, we can.

VO: It's the unstoppable force of Nina versus the immovable object of Lesley!

Catherine's leaving it to Nina to steamroller the deal.

NINA: So listen, we've got 227, take away... VO: No matter how you add it up Nina, you've still only got £107 left.

..this is 95.

If we can save £20 between the three so they all take a hit.

LESLEY: But they've already taken a hit.

VO: Lesley's gone as far as she can.

The sticking point is still the pristine mirror at 125.

Can you pass me the phone?

VO: Could her boss possibly authorize another £18 off to meet the magic target?

Now, I have come down to 125 but their budget only allows them to pay 107, isn't it, Nina?

We love Lesley.

I love her.

I want to be her new child.

VO: It looks like Lesley might finally have some good news.

OK, the agreement is OK. That's absolutely fine.

Yes!

CS: Who's the boss?

I love you Lesley!

I love you too!

Thank God we've got a deal and you can go now, it's half past four!

VO: So to recap, £40 for the chipped art deco mirror, the magic figure of £107 for the pristine art deco one and £80 for the Egyptian style mirror.

Bless you.

VO: Well, after that marathon, both teams have finally finished business for the day and have got five lots each.

It's time for a bit of a "I'll show you mine, if you show me yours".

Yes, it's the reveal.

First to reveal are Miles and Thomas.

Ready?

Dun-dun-dun.

CS: Oh!

Very nice.

THOMAS: There you are.

Really love your Deco brushes.

That's a really big purchase.

Oh, really?

It was £170.

What?!

For that?!

Mm.

You get five of them.

THOMAS: And this is the verre églomisé bell caller.

I have one of those in my house, but it's digited.

Like it's a digital one.

Come on, let's see what you've got.

OK. Come on, girlie.

One, two, three - woo-hoo!

I do love a vanity set.

I do, look at that, isn't that extraordinary?

We found a load of silver and we just sort of put it all together.

How much?

£100.

£100 for the lot?

Yeah.

That's very good.

Whose is the obsession with mirrors?

No, it's not my obsession!

Well, you started with the art deco one!

VO: I think you'll find it was both of you.

What did you pay, £25 each for those?

Oh shut up, Thomas.

They would have been, wouldn't it, £25 each?

Is that it?

What do you mean is that it?

Is that all you've spent?

We spent everything!

All of it?

Every penny?

Yes, all of the money on that.

That's £400?

Really?

And didn't you spend £400?

Didn't you?

Let's just take a seat and talk you through it.

VO: Nina and Catherine are puzzled as to how the boys have spent £400 on three items - are they sitting on some other purchases?

We've also managed to get this little pew and this little pew.

I went pew crazy.

When we got here, we were down to £80 and I suddenly thought 'I want pews, that's what we want, pews'.

VO: Miles went pew crazy, but are the girls crazy about the boys' purchases?

NINA: The helmet, right, for example.

I know it's only £20 they spent on it, but it's exactly the kind of thing that I like.

And the pews - loved.

Part of me thinks they were a little underwhelmed by the pews.

Oh, really?!

CS: They're nice, but I love the guilloché enamel set.

That was beautiful.

Really nice, I mean, that was the most beautiful piercing blue.

It was lovely.

THOMAS: Anyway, who's going to win?

I think...

I think we could win actually.

Let's go to the auction, I want to go to the auction.

Come on, Nina, we can win this.

Come on!

VO: For auction day, both our teams have to leave Surrey's fields of gold and travel over 100 miles north through the Thames Valley and the Cotswolds to auction in Gloucester.

CS: To the auction we go!

Are you excited?

No!

Really?

Why not?!

Of course I am, I'm very excited.

I'm with Naughty Nina!

Naughty Nina, and I had the lovely Miles, the great Miles.

Mischievous Miles.

Mischievous and funny.

MILES: My antiques expert, I think he will be quite up for this, I think he'll be quite confident.

NINA: You think?

MILES: Yeah.

To be honest, I'm more confident that you're going to win than we are, so yes!

Oh really?

It's the pews.

I love the pews.

I hope the pews do well.

CS: Ah, here they are.

Look at that.

Morning, morning.

How are you?

Nina, where's the excitement?

Hello.

Are you up for it?

Challenge-wise?

We're in a church, aren't we?

Oh, I see.

Do you think... Will there be added value as a result of that?

Added value.

I think there's a few churchgoers who need the odd pew.

VO: Yes, most fittingly the auctioneers, Costwolds Auctions, are holding today's auction in a church hall.

The company started life in the 19th century as part of an estate agent's business and helped sell off the contents of the area's many country houses.

It became an independent business in 1998, when today's auctioneer Lindsay Braune was part of a team that bought it.

But what does she think of our teams' purchases?

Yeah, I think they've bought some interesting pieces, there's a good selection.

I particularly like that little bulldog print, actually, the French one.

Probably between the wars some time, nice little decorative print.

It's looking a bit serious and a bit comical at the same time.

VO: Zut alors!

She thinks the painting of the dog might turn out to be formidable, but the first aid hat might leave them battered and bruised.

I think it's a typical boys' lot, quite frankly.

There's a lot of them around, they survive, they're quite solid, and we may make £10-20 on it.

VO: Both teams started the trip with £400, and in a high risk strategy, both of our big spending duos splashed the lot on five lots.

So, with profits going to Children In Need - let's sell some antiques!

The first item is the 1940s Union Jack bunting.

Is it going to fly the flag for Nina and Catherine?

NINA: Wow!

LINDSAY: £10, start me off.

£10 bid, at 10, it's going on at 10.

12.

15.

18.

20.

22 at the back.

25.

28?

28.

30.

At 30.

Yes, yes, come on!

35 here.

At 35.

Yes!

At 35 then, I'm selling.

Did we make any money?

Not after commission.

Oh.

VO: Not so much Lovejoy as killjoy, but she's right.

After auction fees, they're unlikely to see any of that fiver as a profit.

I didn't want to buy the bunting in the first place!

No, I know.

This is too exciting for Miles, the Antiques Road Trip.

VO: Beneath his cool exterior, Miles is bracing himself for the first of his pews.

Will the deal he did on the tantalus bring songs of praise or a requiem Mass?

I've interest in the book at 30, 35.

40, with me at 40.

At 40, who's going on, at £40?

At 45.

50?

At 50, with me again at 50.

Are we all done?

Selling at £50.

Are we all sure?

And selling.

VO: Oh, dear.

The lord obviously preferred the tantalus.

I mean, what would that tantalus have got?

Like a tenner?

NINA: Sorry, did you just make a loss?

We did, yeah.

Calm down.

VO: Now it's the print of the French bulldog that the auctioneer Lindsay liked.

Let's hope this brings a magnifique profit.

Commission's here, so I'm starting at 15, 18, at 18 with me at 18. Who's going on at £18?

20.

Two.

At 22.

With me again at 22.

Five anywhere?

At 22, all sure at 22?

He's a rather handsome chap, I thought.

Again, it's not what I wanted to buy.

VO: Quel dommage.

That sold for just over half of what they paid for it.

The eye-catching art deco guilloché enamel dressing table set was the boys' first purchase, but will it catch any of the punters' eyes today?

60 then to start, £60.

At 60, thank you.

Five.

70.

Five.

80.

Five.

90.

Five.

At 100.

110.

Can't see round the corner.

Oh, look, 110, look at that!

At 110.

20 anywhere?

At 110, are we all done?

At 110 then, I'm selling.

VO: That's a shocker and the biggest loss of the day so far.

So we've lost... We've hit three figures... Yeah, yeah.

..in terms of losses.

VO: Do both teams realize that the point of the show is to make money?

Now it's time for the girls' dressing table set.

Could this lift them back into profit and leave the boys behind?

50, start me.

£50 to start, 50 bid, thank you.

I have 55 here.

She's got a commission bid.

60.

65.

70.

At 70, right in the deep now.

70.

75.

All done at 75?

VO: Not quite as much of a hit as Miles and Thomas took, but it's pushed them further into loss.

I said I don't want to buy them!

VO: Yes, you've already said that, Nina, several times.

Can the servants' bell box help Team Jupp call on a much-needed profit?

Unusual lot, £20, they don't come up very often.

Ten then, start me off, someone.

£10?

Anyone interested?

Ten bid, thank you.

12.

Where are you, 15?

At 15.

At 15, still not much at 15, looking for 18.

Are we all done at 15?

And selling.

VO: Cor, that bell box means their losses are becoming alarming.

Did you make a loss?

Another triumphal loss.

I'm so sorry!

VO: Here's Nina's big ticket item, the Egyptian style mirror.

She's so keen, she's going to make a display of herself.

20 bid.

At £20.

22.

25.

28.

30.

At 30, bid's in the room at 30.

At £30.

32.

35.

She can't hold it up, it's too heavy!

35.

At 35, lovely mirror, at 35.

38.

40 for you?

At 38, bid standing at 38 on the right.

At 38.

At 38.

Are we all done at 38 then, and selling.

What did it go for in the end?

£38.

But you should have worn the apron.

VO: Nina seems remarkably upbeat about the fact her Egyptian style mirror tanked, but maybe she's in de-Nile.

So, with nearly double the losses of Nina and Catherine, the guys have to pray the second pew brings them some redemption.

At 30, 35, 40, with me at 40.

At 40. Who's going on at £40?

At 45.

50.

At 50, with me again at 50.

At 50, very nice pew at £50, who's going on now?

55.

60 is it?

No, more, more.

Bid more!

At £60 then, all sure?

VO: Perhaps instead of studying divinity, you should have studied economics, Miles.

The final item for the girls are the art deco mirrors.

This may decide who is the feistiest of them all.

By my calculations, they need to sell them for over £240 to make an overall profit.

Now, Nina's hoping her portering skills might just help.

Where are they?

Oh, thank you very much, being beautifully held up.

One with green panels and a pink one, two nice decorative Deco mirrors.

What should we say, 30 for these, £30?

30 bid, thank you.

At 30, who's going on?

35.

40.

45.

50.

At £50.

Five anywhere then?

And selling, in the middle.

VO: Disaster!

But one person's loss is another's bargain - someone has just picked up those mirrors for under a quarter of the original ticket price.

Nina, was that a loss?

Am I allowed to punch him in the face on this show?

Yes, yes!

Not just the face.

VO: The final item is the World War II helmet.

This could be the one item today that ends up making a decent profit.

£10 then, start me off, £10.

£10, anyone interested, £10?

10 here.

12 for you?

12.

15, is it?

At £12, don't see them every day.

What's going on?!

15 anywhere?

15 at the back.

At 15.

18 for you?

At 15, in the deep.

Are you sure?

At 15, right in the deep then.

Last chance.

At 15.

VO: The helmet has failed to protect the boys from a loss.

But in true Dunkirk spirit, defeat has brought our teams closer together.

MILES: This has been a complete disaster.

VO: It certainly has.

Both teams started today with a fighting fund of £400.

Nina and Catherine spent the lot and despite making the only profit on an item today, after auction fees, they racked up a whacking loss of £219.60 This left them with just £180.40.

Miles and Thomas failed to make a profit on any item today, but perhaps thanks to Miles' connections to higher powers, they only lost £195.

That means they finished the winners with the ungodly amount of £205.

THOMAS: Right.

NINA: We've had fun, it's been great.

We've had fun.

I'm glad that we've been of help.

I think I might join your crew.

Listen, thank you.

It was actually a lot of fun, thank you.

It was quite fun but it's a disaster!

Congratulations.

No, congratulations.

VO: Even though both teams failed miserably, it's all smiles at the end of the day.

It's been a tough auction, but that's the beauty of them.

Depending on the day you can grab a bargain or lose a bundle.

So, see you next time!

MILES: # Baby we were born to run.
