(CAR HORN) VOICEOVER (VO): The nation's favorite celebrities...

It's not worth a tenner.

VO: ..paired up with an expert... You're learning.

VO: ..and a classic car.

This is very exciting, isn't it?

It is.

VO: Their mission, to scour Britain for antiques.

Got a nice ring to it.

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

Come on.

VO: But it's no easy ride.

RICHARD: Brake.

DOMINIC: I can't!

VO: Who will find a hidden gem?

I hope I don't live to regret this.

VO: Take the biggest risk?

We've definitely got a problem.

VO: Will anybody follow expert advice?

You'd never catch me buying anything like that.

VO: There will be worthy winners... (THEY CHEER) VO: ..and valiant losers.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

VO: Put your pedal to the metal.

VO: This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.

VO: Yeah.

(CAR HORN) RICH: Aah!

DOM: Aah!

RICH: Oops!

What did you do?

I'm crunching the gears.

Are you in second?

I am now.

VO: It's Dick and Dom in da car.

Hey, this is nice.

Oh, isn't it lovely, driving in second all the way down this country line.

I'm too scared to change the gears.

VO: Easy on the gearstick, chaps.

It's just a loaner, you know.

The boys are driving a 1965 Land Rover Series II.

Nice!

DOM: Oh, hang on.

Oh, look, incoming tractor.

Oh, no.

What're we gonna do here?

That's massive.

Are we alright down that side?

Yeah, you need to pull in.

RICH: I'm trying to pull in.

RICH: Thank you, Mr Tractor.

Or Mrs Tractor.

Or just Tractor.

VO: Richard McCourt and Dominic Wood, aka Dick and Dom, are an award winning comedy duo who became household names after presenting eccentric children's TV in the noughties.

Nowadays, they're drum and bass DJs performing at festivals and clubs internationally.

What do you know about antiques?

We are antiques now, really, aren't we?

I mean, we... You know, we've been together 27 years.

Yeah.

So, uh, yeah, we're kind of verging on being antiques actually.

I know.

You can tell we've been together a long time when we even co-ordinate our wardrobe.

We're both wearing brown corduroy.

That's the age we've got to, mate.

I know, I know.

VO: Oh, don't be silly.

You two are still whippersnappers.

Now, our celebs both have £400 to spend, as well as expert advice from two experienced Road Trippers, Irita Marriott and David Harper.

DAVID: Where are you?

IRITA: I'm here.

I am trying to sail away.

We're in the right place, aren't we?

I know.

We're not going sailing.

DAVID: No.

We are going shopping though.

We're going shopping.

Yeah.

With... IRITA: Dick and Dom!

..Dick and Dom.

Do you remember Dick And Dom In Da Bungalow?

I don't, no.

I wasn't in England at that time.

DAVID: OK, why don't you go with Dick?

I'll go with him.

OK.

I'll go with Dom.

I'll go with Richard.

IRITA: Good luck and have fun.

You're gonna need it.

VO: We'll leave them to carry on looking and rejoin the boys.

Are you gonna be relying on Irita?

Well, course I am, course I am.

She's the expert.

What about you with David?

Yeah, I think he's... You know, he knows what he's doing.

I have not got a clue.

VO: You're in safe hands, don't worry.

Oh, he is having trouble with those gears, isn't he?

Is that second?

Can I have a go in the back?

Yeah, hang on a minute.

Whilst you're parked, let me jump in the back.

RICH: In the back?!

DOM: Yeah.

Right, park.

RICH: I am parking.

DOM: Good.

DOM: Hang on.

Let me see what it's like in the back.

Hang on, seat belt.

RICH: You alright in the back there?

It's like taking the kids out.

Are we there yet?

Are we nearly there yet?

(CAR HORN) VO: We'll get there when we get there.

On this action-packed road trip, we'll mostly be shopping around Hampshire, before a final showdown in Bristol.

But, first of all, we kick things off in Portsmouth, just a stone's throw from the sea wall called Sally Port, from which our first shop takes its name, Sally Antiques.

DOM: Right, are we here?

RICH: This is us.

Sally's.

RICH: Right.

Let's go and get some antiques.

DOM: Yep.

Game on.

I'm going in first.

DOM: Can you let us out of the back?

Hello?

Dirty gameplay, that is.

Dirty gameplay!

Hmph!

VO: You snooze, you lose, Dom.

Sprawling across four floors of a historic dockside inn, there's an incredible amount of antiques and collectibles on offer here.

That's the owner, Ross.

Good man.

Now time to match our pairs up.

RICH: Ah, Irita, hi.

IRITA: Hello.

RICH: Rich.

IRITA: How are you?

RICH: Nice to meet you.

IRITA: Oh, Rich.

RICH: Yes.

That was gonna be my first question.

Oh, what should you call me?

IRITA: Richard, Dick, Rich.

RICH: Dick.

Let's go with Rich.

IRITA: Rich.

RICH: Friendly terms.

Oh, I like that.

Is this going to be a friendly match... RICH: Well... IRITA: ..between you two?

..you're the ex... Oh, well, against him, you mean?

The fight is on.

Oh, is it?

Yeah.

He always wins though, that's the problem.

And I always come second.

So, this time, Irita, we're gonna do it.

VO: No pressure, Irita.

Upstairs, David and Dom have just met.

DAVID: Is this a natural environment for you?

Do you feel happy and comfortable in this environment?

I really do.

Yeah, as a kid, Mum and Dad took me to antique shows and antique shops all the time.

They were always picking stuff up, and Mum was always hustling and bargaining for good deals on stuff as well.

OK, well, we're gonna get into your taste... Mm.

..so let's wander and you show me what you would buy for you so we can then all ruthlessly judge your taste.

How's that?

DOM: Sounds ruthless.

DAVID: Marvelous.

VO: The game is afoot.

Remember, each team has 400 smackeroos in their war chest.

IRITA: Oh, what about one of these?

RICH: A grand?

(WHISTLES) IRITA: I know.

RICH: You've gotta like Meccano.

IRITA: Oh, you definitely have to like it to have it.

RICH: Yeah.

VO: Our experts are here to advise, but it's down to Rich and Dom to make the big decisions.

This Dalek.

Maybe that's a bit too weird to have in your house.

Retro phones.

IRITA: Oh, do you remember... RICH: I like those.

Yeah.

IRITA: Were you ringing Dom on those?

Took you about an hour to get the number in.

IRITA: I know!

I know!

Wasn't that amazing?

A wired phone.

Who would've thought?

IRITA: Who would have thought that we would go as far from... RICH: Yeah... IRITA: ..phones as we have done?

..to buy it in a shop for how much?

30 quid.

IRITA: I know.

That one's 75.

RICH: 75?

IRITA: Yeah.

Special phone.

The bat phone.

I bet you've got yours, your old one, still in the attic somewhere.

Oh, it probably is, yeah, yeah.

VO: I wonder if Dom and David have dialed in to any potential buys yet.

Oh, this looks nice.

Look at this.

Are you ready?

Lose.

There's the swing ticket, yeah.

Several hundreds, I would think.

DOM: 500 quid.

DAVID: 500 quid.

There you go.

That's it!

I'm just gonna buy that.

Show over.

DAVID: Yeah, go home.

DOM: That's a real shame.

I might just buy that for my house, cuz that is so cool.

Well, there's the oddity that would look great in a house.

Yeah, yeah.

Really would, a talking piece.

Yeah, yeah, it really would.

DAVID: Yeah.

DOM: It really would.

OK, we're getting to know what you like.

DOM: Yeah.

DAVID: That's very good.

I'll have just one more go, see if I win.

Then, if I win, maybe I'll ask them for half price.

DOM: Yeah.

Hang on, where's it gone?

Oh, it's broken.

DAVID: Oh, he's broken it.

OK, move on quickly.

VO: That's just a joke.

Nothing was broken.

Silly boys.

Downstairs, Rich is closely inspecting the sales tickets.

Smart move.

Irita... IRITA: Yes.

The glove box.

It's a quality piece, isn't it?

IRITA: It is lovely.

So that's hand painted?

IRITA: Yes, yes.

So all of this would've been hand painted.

RICH: Mm.

IRITA: The little faces are actually enameled.

RICH: Wow.

IRITA: Do you know what is it made out of?

No.

It feels like, early plastic or something, doesn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's actually paper mâché.

RICH: Huh?

IRITA: know.

IRITA: So it's literally layered paper.

It's bizarre.

IRITA: I know.

Cuz it's solid.

IRITA: It is solid.

RICH: Yeah.

Wow.

IRITA: Yeah.

RICH: There's a bit of a nick on it.

IRITA: Oh yeah.

Would that cause an issue?

Well, it doesn't help it.

It's not 100%.

No.

It's not like it's completely come off.

IRITA: It's been knocked.

RICH: Mm-hm.

But this would've been a souvenir thing.

Right, OK. Cuz all the ladies used to wear the beautiful silk gloves... RICH: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mm-hm.

IRITA: ..or little lace gloves.

And glove boxes were the thing.

Right.

Cuz if you had some very expensive gloves... RICH: No, I like it.

..you wanted to keep them, you know, neat and tidy.

RICH: This might not be used for gloves anymore, but you could use it for loads of different things, couldn't you?

RICH: Stationery, watches, pens.

IRITA: Yeah.

Anything.

It's quite a practical thing.

Mm-hm.

£85 though.

IRITA: Um... Too much.

Too much.

But the price doesn't really matter.

You're buying something that you really like.

RICH: Mm-hm.

So...

I think it's a... IRITA: Go with your gut.

Well, let's try some haggling.

Let's see what I've got.

Shall we see how good you are at this?

RICH: Give it a go.

Yeah.

IRITA: Come on then.

VO: And while they head to the front desk, we'll check in on Dom and David.

I just caught in my corner of my eye this little fella here.

DOM: The rabbit?

DAVID: The rabbit.

You take him out.

I've seen this model before and I love him.

Take him out?

DAVID: Yeah, go on.

DOM: OK.

He is drop dead... Oh, look what's... DAVID: ..gorgeous.

DOM: ..in his belly.

DAVID: Yeah, look at him.

DOM: Can I pull that?

Gently.

Pull it gently.

Oh, look, there's a little handle to turn.

DOM: Look at that.

DAVID: It's a tape measure.

It's a little tape measure.

Oh my goodness.

I mean, how much pleasure would you get out of measuring something with that?

I mean, they would never make anything like this now.

DAVID: Never.

DOM: Never!

I mean, this is a cross between a practical tool... Yeah.

..and an ornament.

An ornament, a piece of art.

I tell you what, Dom... That's really sweet.

..I really like that.

DAVID: This is probably... Hmm, what would it be?

It might be pre-Second World War.

Might be 1930s.

What does it say?

Uh, 1940s.

DAVID: 1940s.

DOM: Very good.

It's probably not 40s because the 40s was pretty dominated by the war.

DOM: Yeah.

DAVID: Yeah, ended in 45, but there was an awful lot of aftermath and they weren't really producing things like this.

Right.

More likely to be 50s or 30s.

DOM: Yeah.

DAVID: I'm going to go 30s.

DOM: Yeah.

That's great.

DAVID: What's the ticket price?

DOM: It's 110 quid.

110.

So you're gonna do the bargaining for this, cuz it's 110 quid.

DAVID: No, no, no.

DOM: No?

No, Dom, this is your Antiques Road Trip.

So I wanna step back and relinquish all responsibility in case it all goes terribly wrong and it's gonna be your fault.

How's that?

DAVID: Over to you.

DOM: Great.

Shall we get on?

DAVID: Yeah.

VO: Downstairs, Rich and Irita have tracked down Ross.

RICH: Hi, Ross.

ROSS: Oh hi there.

IRITA: Hello.

RICH: Now... ROSS: How're you, alright?

We're alright, yeah.

We've spotted this.

Lovely, isn't it?

RICH: Detailing on the front, yeah, 19th century.

But the one thing we did see, it's got a chink on the top and some damage in the side as well.

Yes.

Well, it's... RICH: So 85's probably not gonna work for us.

Well, this, we call this patina... IRITA & RICH: (LAUGH) ROSS: ..which adds to its authenticity.

Oh, OK, yeah, yeah, it's been used.

Good try, good try.

ROSS: It is lovely, yeah.

So... What about, would you do half, half price on it?

ROSS: Ooh.

Right.

RICH: Cuz of the chink.

I'm gonna need to sit down now.

RICH: Yeah.

(LAUGHS) Half.

Um, OK.

Probably couldn't do half.

I'd do 65.

65.

Alright.

ROSS: Is that alright?

What I've... You know, I've just spotted, we were talking about the phones earlier.

IRITA: We were, yes.

Retro phone.

ROSS: Oh, yes.

IRITA: Yes.

A pottery ph... Harrods as well.

VO: That looks to me like one half of a butter or cheese dish.

IRITA: It's quite cool.

RICH: It's wicked.

ROSS: Yeah.

RICH: How much is that?

IRITA: That would've probably been as an advertising piece.

10 quid?

Wow, I really like that.

IRITA: It says as seen.

ROSS: Oh yeah.

IRITA: As is.

So is there damage?

ROSS: It's got a crack in it there.

RICH: Oh, it's got some damage.

ROSS: Yeah.

RICH: But from the front... IRITA: You can't tell.

RICH: No, you wouldn't.

I'd definitely have that in my house.

IRITA: It's a decorator's thing.

What about, then, if we throw the phone in as well?

ROSS: I'll do you 65 for the pair.

RICH: Alright, done.

ROSS: Cuz this was 65.

RICH: That's a good... IRITA: That's it!

RICH: It's a deal.

Cheers, Ross.

ROSS: Thank you.

RICH: Look at that.

ROSS: Thank you.

IRITA: He was born to haggle.

RICH: Quick as!

ROSS: He's a natural.

He really is.

Yeah.

VO: We've barely begun and Rich has bagged two lots already.

That's £55 on the glove box and 10 on the phone.

Well, that was interesting.

RICH: Yeah.

Good buys.

VO: Back inside, Dom and David are still perusing the shelves.

Not many people know that, these days, me and Rich are DJs.

We go around the UK and we DJ everywhere.

But when we lived together, we used to collect vinyls.

DAVID: Right.

DOM: So seeing something like... DAVID: Yeah.

DOM: ..this is really exciting.

Let me have a feel of that.

Hang on.

What's this?

What's the history behind it?

DAVID: That is very unusual.

That's an enamel sign.

So it's metal and enamel.

DOM: Right.

DAVID: It's obviously an advertising thing.

DOM: Mm-hm.

So HMV, you know, famous record label founded in 1901.

So they've been around a very long time.

Mm.

But these long-playing vinyls were introduced in about 1913.

DOM: Right.

DAVID: This was designed, made and produced by this company... Yeah.

..and supplied to record shops to advertise this newfangled, long-playing vinyl.

And I'll tell you what, let me just have, while you're... Yeah.

..looking, let me just have a quick look at it.

I mean, it sounds good.

DOM: What's on the back?

DAVID: Oh look, lots of rust.

DOM: Yeah.

DAVID: Good bit of paint.

Hang on a minute, I haven't looked at the price yet.

DAVID: It'll be a load of money.

DOM: I just spotted it.

It'll be a load of money.

DOM: Ah!

You were right.

DAVID: Ouch.

DOM: I wasn't prepared for that.

DAVID: How much?

It's £295 at the moment.

Do you think... DAVID: OK. DOM: ..that's reasonable?

I have never, ever seen that before.

I think it's fabulous.

Hey?

Hey?

DJ?

What kind of music do you play as a DJ?

Uh, drum and bass.

Do you?

Don't think that was around when this was pressed.

Shall we have a go?

Let's have a go.

DAVID: Let's have a go.

DOM: Yeah.

VO: Ross is ready to get into the groove.

DOM: Right then.

DAVID: Hey Ross.

ROSS: Hi, guys.

Ross, how are you doing?

Alright?

I'm good thanks, you?

Good.

Well, I've got the goods and I've got the money.

DAVID: Oh.

ROSS: Wow.

Uh, and now this is where the fun starts, right?

Yeah.

DOM: We've got this beautiful little rabbit.

ROSS: Yeah.

DAVID: Yeah.

DOM: And, uh... ROSS: And this piece?

Hmm.

How long has that been in the shop?

Uh, not long.

Oh.

But it's already grown on me while it's been here.

VO: The rabbit is 110 and the enamel sign is 295.

We can do £90 on the rabbit, so we're knocking off over 20% on that.

ROSS: I could go to 255 on that.

VO: 345 in total.

325 for both, would that be good?

ROSS: I'll do that for you.

DOM: You'd do that?

ROSS: Yeah, yeah.

Of course.

DOM: That's 300.

ROSS: Three.

Yeah.

DOM: We've not had lunch yet, have we?

Would you do us a fiver?

ROSS: Go on, with my blessing.

DOM: Go on, then.

ROSS: It's a pleasure.

DAVID: Good man.

DOM: Thanks Ross.

Thank you very much.

Right, grab the stuff.

And get out of here... ROSS: There you go.

DAVID: ..before he realizes.

ROSS: I hope you do well.

We'll let you know how it goes.

ROSS: Thank you.

See you later.

DOM: See you later.

DOM: Cheeky Dom.

That's very generous of you, Ross.

They've paid 70 for the rabbit and 250 for the enamel sign, leaving them with just £80 to spend.

DAVID: Well hey.

DOM: Well, David?

DAVID: Well done you.

DOM: Good start.

DAVID: Fabulous.

VO: And not a penny on lunch.

Ha!

Out on the road, Rich and Irita are trundling along in the Landy.

How did you two meet?

So at the age of 18 I was working at the BBC in London, and then Dom actually started at the same age.

So he'd just moved from home as well, neither of us went to uni.

And so we became mates immediately.

RICH: I was renting my flat out and it had a spare room became available.

So Dom then moved in.

So we were sharing a flat for five years, and can you imagine what that was like?

Oh yeah.

Absolute chaos.

RICH: You know, we used to have things like food fights... RICH: ..in the house.

IRITA: Oh my God.

Which is bizarre, because then the show we actually ended up doing on the telly was The Bungalow, and that was the premise of it, was this big creamy muck-muck fight at the end where you'd have a food fight in the living room of the bungalow, you know?

Wait a minute, so you were friends and... DOM: Yeah.

..literally living out the show before the show even happened?

That's right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So you were quite... And then, well, boss then saw that we'd become really good friends off screen, like, you know, best mates, so... And then we both became separate presenters, but he said, "D'you know what?

For a change this week, why don't we stick you both on together and see how it goes?"

So we did, and it just happened.

And that was it.

From that day on, we were always known as Dick and Dom.

VO: 254 episodes, two BAFTAs and oceans of creamy muck-muck later, the rest is history.

Rich and Irita are now making their way to Gosport, specifically to Browndown Beach.

Over 170 years ago, this lonely stretch of shingle was the setting for the last fatal duel fought by Englishmen on home soil.

Rich and Irita are meeting historian John Mullan to hear a local legend about love, honor and death.

So this is where it happened then, the last duel?

The newspapers at the time refer to both Browndown and Stokes Bay.

RICH: Right.

JOHN: This is the end of Stokes Bay and the start of Browndown, that direction there.

So it's my belief that this is as near as dammit... JOHN: ..where it happened.

RICH: Right.

And who were the men involved?

Well, the men involved were a chap called Charles Hawkey, who was a lieutenant in the Royal Marines, and James Alexander Seton, who is described in the contemporary newspapers as Captain Seton.

VO: Lieutenant Henry Hawkey was a young man married to a beautiful woman called Isabella.

She certainly caught the eye of wealthy cavalry officer James Seton.

The three would first meet in 1845 while socializing at dances and balls.

It wasn't long until Seton began to pay special attention to Isabella, much to the chagrin of Hawkey.

The two men had had words about this and Seton had really just brushed him off.

And then on the night of the incident, Hawkey had said, "This is not...

This has got to stop."

JOHN: The men were separated by friends and acquaintances.

Hopefully should have simmered down, but as they were going into supper, Seton was kicked up the backside by Hawkey as he went into the dining room.

VO: No gentleman of the time could accept such an affront to his honor, especially not in public.

So early the next morning, Seton called Hawkey out, and the lieutenant gladly accepted the challenge.

Dom and David are meeting Victorian etiquette expert Emily Sheath, who certainly looks the part, near the scene of the duel.

DOM: Emily, lovely to meet you.

EMILY: Nice to meet you.

So, explain, why are we here?

We are here because, in 1845, a duel took place here.

Not that I'm considering it, Emily, but how would one initiate a duel?

Is there a protocol?

There is.

You can either throw a gauntlet, like a knight would.

DAVID: Mm-hm.

You can throw a glove, or you can slap somebody with a glove.

So why would someone, let's say if they were offended by someone else, why would they want to just take part in a game that killed the other person?

A man's honor was everything.

Being chivalrous was the way you climbed society and the way you remained in high society.

And if your honor was in jeopardy, you would have to sort that out right away.

It was settling a score, and it was one of the most honorable ways to do it, instead of having an argument or... DOM: Yeah.

It was so that everyone knew, "Right, this happened, that's the outcome of the duel.

Case closed.

We're moving on now."

VO: Dueling was falling out of favor in the 19th century, but was still popular within the military.

One high-profile case involved the Duke of Wellington, who fought a duel against the Duke of Winchilsea in 1829.

Although dueling was technically legal, laws against violence, manslaughter and murder made the practice difficult.

Hawkey and Seton agreed to meet for a secretive shootout using flintlock pistols at Browndown Beach the next day.

Were there any rules to it at all?

What did they all look like?

Unlike how we see duels represented normally in the cinema and things like that - you know, with the duelists back-to-back, walking away from one another, turning and firing - it was nothing like that at all.

That's kind of disappointing.

I know, you wanted the classic Hollywood moment.

JOHN: They would've set on their marks... IRITA: Yeah.

JOHN: ..and... ..on the command "go", they went.

Literally that?

VO: Seton fired first... (GUNSHOT) ..missing.

Hawkey returned the favor... (GUN COCKING) ..but his pistol misfired.

Each man fired a second shot.

(GUNSHOT) Seton missed again.

(GUNSHOT) But Hawkey did not.

He struck Seton on the hip.

A fatal wound.

Seton died two weeks later, while Hawkey fled to France.

After a year on the run, Hawkey returned to face trial for murder.

He was acquitted and reunited with Isabella, and dueling was officially banned by the military.

DOM: We understand what a duel is now.

I really fancy giving it a go, cuz it almost seems like a sport, but...who would I have a duel with?

Hm.

VO: I can think of someone.

RICH: Duel.

DOM: Duel.

On five!

One, two, three, four, five!

IRITA: Come on!

You can do it, Rich, do it!

Woo!

(LAUGHS) Woo!

IRITA: (LAUGHS) VO: Back inland, and after drying off, time to call it a day.

Well, it's taken me all day, but I think I'm about used to driving this now.

It's good.

DOM: You've got it, haven't you?

RICH: Yeah.

You've got your head around shopping for antiques... Good day shopping.

Yeah, we got some good stuff.

Well look, we've got another whole day of antique shopping to do, haven't we?

Yeah.

So there's only one thing for it.

DOM: What?

RICH: Beer.

Lots of it.

Lashings of ale from a blacksmith down the road.

Blacksmith!

VO: I think you'll have better luck at the pub.

Nighty night, chaps.

RICH: Can you see over the steering wheel, and the tire?

DOM: Shut up.

RICH: You're only little.

VO: Ooh, cheeky.

Right, do I go into third?

If you want to.

Where's third?

Up there.

Brake.

I can't!

Dead squirrel!

RICH: Aah!

DOM: Argh!

RICH: Roadkill.

Are we actually gonna make it to the antique shop?

Course we will.

Course we will.

VO: In one piece, hopefully.

Those shops are literally just full to the rafters of antiques, aren't they?

You don't know where to start, what to pick, how much anything is actually worth.

It was quite an expensive shop.

I was surprised.

How do you know that it was expensive?

DOM: Well, just the fact... RICH: Just felt expensive.

..that I bought something for around 300 quid.

Did you?!

Ha!

Yeah, I blew a lot.

Oops.

I blew a lot on the first... RICH: Oh dear.

DOM: I got overexcited.

VO: Easily done, I'm afraid.

Antique fever gets the best of us.

How much money you got left over?

I'm not telling you that.

Oh, go on, tell me.

Nah, it's a competition.

RICH: I'm playing the game here, mate.

I'm not telling you anything.

DOM: Just tell me.

RICH: No.

Just tell me!

You've blown all your secrets.

I'm keeping it to myself.

I've got a hundred quid left.

Yeah, well, I'm not, I'm not... No comment.

What's the point in not telling me?

Because I'm playing the game.

How much have you got left?

I'm not telling you.

VO: Can't keep it secret for long though, Rich.

Time to park up and compare purchases.

DOM: Right then.

RICH: Let's reveal.

DOM: The moment of truth.

Let's reveal.

(FANFARE) What is that?

It's tiny!

It is a tape measure rabbit.

RICH: Course it is.

VO: This little rabbit wasn't Dom's only purchase yesterday.

He also picked up a rather expensive enamel advertising sign for HMV... DAVID: Be a load of money.

DOM: Ah!

DAVID: Ouch.

DOM: You were right.

I wasn't prepared for that.

VO: ..leaving him with just £80 to spend today.

It was quite expensive.

It was on for 450 quid.

RICH: What?!

DOM: (LAUGHS) It's rusty!

I know, but I got it down for... Ah, no, character.

And I managed to get it down to, uh, 250, I think it was.

(WHISTLES) So it's knocked about 200 quid off.

VO: Rich was more frugal with his shopping.

He has £335 left because he only spent £55 on a late 19th century chinoiserie decorated glove box, and made a £10 impulse buy at the counter.

RICH: Retro phone.

ROSS: Oh yes.

A pottery ph... Harrods as well.

RICH: Spotted that out of the corner of my eye.

And I thought, now, that's the kind of thing I was looking for.

Retro.

And it was only a tenner.

Well, there's a reason why it's only a tenner.

RICH: Why?

DOM: Well, look at it.

DOM: It's cracked.

RICH: Yeah?

What, how're you gonna sell it with a crack?

But look.

From the front.

DOM: Look, there's character... From the front you can't see it.

So I just need to get some toot like that.

RICH: That's not toot.

DOM: (LAUGHS) Right, so I'll go and spend my millions.

You've got 80 quid.

VO: Once Dom's dropped off Rich, he has a rendezvous with David in Emsworth, former home of Jeeves and Wooster creator PG Wodehouse.

The boys are shopping at Chalcraft Antiques.

DAVID: Right, we're looking for an antique shop.

DOM: Oh.

There's one.

DAVID: It says antiques.

The world's smallest antique shop.

It's tiny.

Small but perfect.

I know about that.

Well, there you go.

Nothing wrong in that.

Wow.

Oh, this is beautiful.

What a cute little shop.

VO: After their big spending spree, Dom and David are hoping for big wins at low prices.

They only have £80 in the kitty.

I mean, I love grandfather clocks.

There's no point me talking about it, I've blown all my money, but there's just something about them, they're almost due a renaissance.

DAVID: Yeah.

You look at the workings inside and... DAVID: Yeah.

..I'm just fascinated by them.

VO: The name comes from the song Grandfather's Clock by Henry Clay Work in 1876.

DAVID: You've got the ticker going.

It's beautiful.

Even the movement of the ticker, it's pulsing... DAVID: It is.

..as opposed to ticking.

DAVID: It is.

DOM: It's wonderful.

VO: What about the price?

You've only got £80, chaps.

Tick tock.

850.

850 quid.

I mean, it's no money, is it, when you think of it?

DOM: No.

DAVID: For what it is.

OK.

But we haven't got it.

DAVID: But the other one, that octagonal shape... DOM: Mm-hm?

..similar sort of age, 1800, maybe a little later, 1820.

DOM: Yeah.

Uh-huh.

DAVID: Now, you can see that it's had little sockets.

Like, the holes in the long case.

DOM: Yeah.

DAVID: It's had socket holes.

DOM: Oh yeah.

DAVID: So it... Oh, they're in there?

So I would imagine if it's been filled and it is running, it's the same time...

It is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

..then it's got a modern movement in it.

It's got a battery movement in it.

DOM: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

VO: Let's take a closer look.

DOM: Oh, hello.

Oh... DAVID: Go on.

DOM: I mean, this is...this is a work of art.

It really is.

DAVID: It really is.

And the face has yellowed over time.

DAVID: And to create that... DOM: Yeah.

People try and replicate it, but it's very difficult.

VO: The original mechanism has been removed and this fine old clock has been rescued from the scrapheap with the small addition of a battery powered movement, giving it a new lease of life for the modern age.

So wall clock, circa 1830.

Absolutely bang on.

DOM: Yeah.

DAVID: Now with a battery movement, priced at...£38.

What?

38 quid?

DAVID: 38 quid.

DOM: That's fantastic.

DOM: We'll have a look at another couple of things, but... (CLOCKS CHIME) Clocks everywhere.

DAVID: It's a sign.

DOM: Isn't it just?

DAVID: It's a sign, Dom.

DOM: Time to buy.

VO: That's one on the maybe pile.

But time to check in with our other pair, 10 miles away in Southsea.

A gorgeous coastal town on the southern side of Portsmouth, and Parmiters Antiques, a quirky emporium offering striking pieces from fairgrounds and film sets.

Irita's already scouring the shelves while Rich has been dropped off.

RICH: Hi, Irita.

IRITA: Hiya.

RICH: You alright?

IRITA: How did it go?

Well, I've seen what they've bought.

IRITA: And?

RICH: They've splashed the cash.

320 quid gone.

IRITA: What?

RICH: Yeah.

So they've only got 80 quid today, so they'll only be five minutes.

VO: It's a road trip, not a race, Rich.

Parmiters Antiques specialize in pieces with visual appeal.

And with £335 to spend, Rich can take his pick.

Oh, wow.

Look at that.

It's old film.

Irita?

IRITA: Yes, boss?

RICH: Look at these.

It says, "A Starlight Film comedy."

This is right up my street.

IRITA: 1920s, 30s?

Now hold on a minute.

I don't wanna...

I wanna... IRITA: Do you like old movies?

Yeah, I do like old movies.

And, you know, this is obviously an original.

I dunno what year it would be.

IRITA: Well, the boxes look like they would be 19... Ooh.

..1920s, 30s?

Right.

IRITA: The old tin ones.

RICH: And then trying to see who... God, it's so small.

IRITA: Isn't it crazy... RICH: Can you see that?

IRITA: ..how this is how a movie came?

RICH: Yeah, just...yeah.

IRITA: In a tin box?

And they had to keep changing the reels when it ran out.

IRITA: I know.

RICH: But this... IRITA: And you could see the change and it would just keep flipping, and... RICH: Look, there's an actor there with a lovely dinner suit on, but I can't tell who it is.

I mean, are these... You know, are these something that's valuable?

IRITA: Well, if you find something that is someone who you can recognize... RICH: Yeah.

IRITA: ..put a name to, attach a movie to... Oh, OK. IRITA: I think if there was a bigger quantity of them... RICH: Yeah, OK.

Right.

Like a whole film?

IRITA: Yes.

Yeah.

RICH: Yeah.

Right.

And if we knew who it was and what film it was.

IRITA: I actually like the tins more.

Yeah, the tin...The tins are cool, aren't they?

IRITA: Yeah.

RICH: Yeah, yeah.

IRITA: 20, 30 quid, maybe, in auction.

Oh, OK.

Right.

VO: Best keep looking.

Let's hop back to Emsworth now, where Dom and David already have an eye on one item.

Anything else, chaps?

DOM: Quite like this picture... DAVID: Mm.

..because peacocks are very fashionable with interiors at the moment.

A lot of wallpapers have got peacocks... DAVID: Uh-huh.

DOM: ..on them.

DAVID: It's a good quality thing.

It's probably late Victorian, very early Edwardian, so 1890 to 1910.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

DAVID: Let's have a look at him.

So he's kind of raised... DOM: He's raised.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I spotted that.

The gold around the edge as well, that's really nice, isn't it?

I mean, it's quite dramatic.

Yeah.

DAVID: I think it must've been like impressed and then colored.

DOM: Right.

Yeah.

DAVID: But look at the colors, look at the feathers.

DAVID: Very detailed.

DOM: Uh-huh.

DAVID: And look at the body, look at the chest.

DOM: Mm.

DAVID: And I don't know whether that's an original finish or it's just something that's happened over time.

DAVID: D'you see how it almost has a crackle to it?

DOM: Yeah.

DAVID: Like a porcelain crackle.

The frame itself as well is really... DAVID: It's good.

Yeah.

DOM: You know, it's...

It's not quite joining together here... DAVID: Yeah.

DOM: ..on the right angle.

DAVID: Yeah.

No.

Do you know what I mean?

You can park a bus through that.

VO: Or a Land Rover Series II.

Ha!

Is it sacrificial to sand down and paint or re-stain that frame?

I think not.

A lot of people will be screaming it is.

DOM: Really?

DAVID: I don't...

I don't agree.

I think the world of antiques is the most environmental world you can be in.

DOM: Right.

DAVID: And if you as a buyer want to paint that white or cream or green... Yeah.

..and you are recycling and reinventing that thing for use for another generation... DOM: Yeah.

DAVID: ..or more, then... DAVID: ..you know what, that's a really good thing to do.

Price is 28.

I think it is delicious.

DOM: Yeah?

DAVID: I really do.

D'you know, the funny thing is, if it wasn't just against a white background, I'd be less interested.

DOM: It's the iconic image of that peacock bang against a white plain background and surrounded by this beautiful gold paper.

DAVID: OK, shall we... DOM: OK. Shall we...Shall we see how we go?

DOM: Yeah, let's do it.

OK. DAVID: OK. VO: Time to do a deal with owner Martin.

DOM: Hello.

MARTIN: Hello.

DAVID: Hey, Martin.

DOM: Hello, Martin.

MARTIN: Hello, Dom.

DOM: Great to see you.

DOM: You alright?

DAVID: Good to see you.

MARTIN: And you.

Hello, David.

DAVID: Very good to see you.

MARTIN: Very good.

DOM: So, we've got two... MARTIN: You found something?

Yeah, we have... Well, not just one thing but two things.

Oh good.

So, firstly, we're really interested in this.

Oh yeah.

Good.

This beautiful piece of art.

Yes.

It is nice.

It is such a shame I've got to take it to auction.

DAVID: Yeah.

MARTIN: It's nice, isn't it?

You get another one of these, let me know.

Yeah, I don't think I will.

I'm sure you won't.

And the other thing is a beautiful clock in there, it's the one that doesn't have the working mechanisms.

MARTIN: Oh, yes.

We'd be interested to know what you would take for this and the clock.

How about 60?

Would 60 be alright for you?

If I laid 50 on your palm, then we could take both and walk out of the shop.

You've got two nice things there, so... DOM: We have.

Say...say 55, Dom.

Can we... (CLOCK CHIMES) ..do that?

And then we're... 55.

Well, the clock went ding and I think that means it's deal time, so... DAVID: It's a compromise.

DOM: So, I think... Yeah.

VO: Quite a haul.

That's 35 for the clock and 20 for the peacock picture, leaving Dom with £25.

DOM: Job done then.

DAVID: Job done.

DOM: Job done!

What a collection.

Look at all of this.

VO: Back in Southsea, have Rich and Irita had any luck?

RICH: Irita, look at this.

IRITA: What've you found?

RICH: Well, it looks like a theater chair.

IRITA: It is.

RICH: Yeah.

IRITA: That's exactly what it is.

Aye, it's rather cool looking.

RICH: It's really nice.

And actually, it's very comfy.

IRITA: Well, it needs to be.

Could easily imagine... IRITA: You would be sat there for two hours watching a movie.

Well, in your lounge, with a newspaper, it'd be lovely.

IRITA: Would you have that in your house?

Possibly.

Yeah.

I mean, it is, like you say, it's really kitsch, isn't it?

RICH: I mean, I don't know how old it would be.

IRITA: 1940s, 50s... RICH: OK. IRITA: ..is my...is my guess.

RICH: Yeah, yeah.

IRITA: The seat is nice and clean.

RICH: Yeah.

The leather's good.

IRITA: Yeah.

What about the back of it?

RICH: Yeah, there's a bit of damage again.

IRITA: Oh, that's OK. RICH: My worry of damage.

IRITA: It's easy polished out.

RICH: OK. IRITA: And you just would put a little bit of staining on there.

RICH: Yeah, yeah.

But I like the way it kind of connects to me and Dom.

You know, we've just done the theater tour and... IRITA: I was just gonna say that.

You know, part of our lives, looking at those chairs.

Usually empty as well.

I highly doubt that.

But, you know... Yeah, I think it's quite cool.

Has it got any labels?

You know... RICH: Let's have a look on the back.

IRITA: ..any indication where it might have been from?

What does it say?

RICH: It says Brazil.

IRITA: I mean, how did a cinema chair from Brazil get to England to an antiques shop here?

Who knows?

Does that make it worth more, though, cuz it's from a different part of the world?

IRITA: Find another one.

RICH: Mm.

Yeah.

How many of them made it here?

RICH: Totally.

Right.

Uh-huh.

IRITA: Do you know what I mean?

VO: The art deco style chair is mid-20th century, but there's no ticket price.

RICH: As well, it's really nice wood whatever that is.

IRITA: It is really pretty.

Yeah.

I think let's... Let's see how much that is.

VO: Time to speak to dealer and artist Ian, who uses his art to manage the effects of Parkinson's disease, something he's lived with for over 10 years.

RICH: Hey, Ian.

IAN: Hello.

Alright?

How are you?

RICH: Yeah, good.

You?

IAN: Good, thank you.

Good, good.

Your Brazilian cinema chair.

We're pretty interested in it.

IAN: Yeah?

It's really, a really cool item.

I even want it myself, to be honest.

But what are you thinking for that?

I'm asking 120.

120.

Possibly a little bit over what we want to pay.

Um... IRITA: He's very good at haggling, Ian, I have to say.

Yeah, I would want to ideally go for...

I would like 80.

IAN: I'd do 90.

RICH: Yes!

IRITA: Yes.

RICH: 70, 80, 90, IAN: Lovely.

Thank you.

IRITA: Thank you.

RICH: Thank you very much.

IAN: Thank you very much.

RICH: Good man.

IRITA: See you soon.

RICH: See you.

VO: The £90 they have just spent on the chair leaves £245 burning a hole in their pockets, and only one shop left to spend it in.

IRITA: Oh.

RICH: Sorted.

IRITA: Let's go to the beach.

RICH: Look at us just wandering down the road with... IRITA: I know.

(LAUGHS) RICH: .. a cinema chair.

VO: Meanwhile, out on the road, Dom and David are having fun with the Land Rover.

(CAR HORN) I've gotta say, Dom, when I said to my daughter, who's 27... Yeah.

..that I was gonna do an Antiques Road Trip with Dick and Dom, her face lit up.

Wow.

DAVID: I remember those days watching... DOM: Yeah.

..you boys jumping around on screen, entertaining us all.

DAVID: But not... DOM: I know.

..just the young, the parents as well.

It's just funny when you say your daughter who's 27 now... DAVID: Yeah.

Myself and Richard have been working together, have been best friends for 27 years, and now we are still performing to the kids that grew up watching us.

DAVID: Mm-hm.

But we're DJing to them in clubs and in festivals all round the country.

So...

It's really interesting.

It's just really lovely.

Like, it's just our same people.

DAVID: Yeah, yeah.

The same people that grew up watching it are now in the clubs.

But when you do it, are you in Dick and Dom mode?

When you're doing the DJing?

There's an element of performance to it.

DAVID: Yeah.

We don't throw any custard pies around anymore... DAVID: No, shame.

DOM: ..or anything like that.

DOM: We're a little bit too old to do that.

But there's still an element of expectation from people in the crowd... Yeah.

..as to what they want to see.

Yeah, they don't want you to be overly serious.

DOM: No!

No, I don't think we can.

We know how to get the crowd going.

We know how to whip them up into a frenzy.

DAVID: Yeah.

DOM: So it's great.

Yeah.

We were talking about this the other day, saying, "Well, what next?"

Do we grow with the audience again soon and we'll be... Yeah.

..presenting Gardeners' World and they'll be watching it?

Antique programs.

Yeah!

And antique programs.

Exactly.

You never know.

VO: I'll put a good word in for you with the bosses, Dom.

These two are en route to Horndean, originally a Saxon village that developed as a staging post on the London to Portsmouth road, also known as the A3.

The gents are shopping here at Shambles.

This family run business clears houses and it has a very eclectic stock.

(CHIME) VO: Hope it's a good one, you only have £25 to spend.

What are you hunting for?

What have you got?

DOM: Oh, hello.

DAVID: Hello.

Oh, that's a bit glam.

The... Yeah.

Don't think it's an antique though.

No, it's a bit showbiz.

It is a bit showbiz.

Maybe for my dressing room, but not...not...not here.

Not here.

Um...

Anything leaping...?

DOM: This is nice.

DAVID: Oh yeah.

That's lovely Victorian... DOM: Is that Victorian?

DAVID: ..walnut.

DAVID: Victorian.

1870, 1880.

DOM: Right.

OK. DAVID: I mean, lovely thing.

Veneered.

And you've got... Can you see, I know it's got water damage on there.

DOM: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see that.

DAVID: But the way that the veneer's been cut... DOM: Yeah.

..to get that beautiful kind of Rolls-Royce dashboard kind of look.

DOM: Yeah.

Yeah.

DAVID: The burr walnut... ..and then with marquetry inlays.

I mean, in its day that was bling central.

DOM: Oh, is it really?

DAVID: Bang!

DOM: Oh look.

And inside it... DAVID: Oh, it's actually a games table.

DOM: What's this, a games table?

DAVID: Yeah, games.

DOM: This is nice, but this is gonna be outside our budget.

DAVID: Yeah.

I mean, they make no money, these things, these days.

DOM: Yeah.

DAVID: Especially in that condition, because it's gonna cost a fortune to restore, but it's gonna be substantially more than 25 quid.

That can be beautifully sanded down.

Would you love to do that?

Well, course I would.

What would you do to it?

Well, it's funny...

I know...

I know the strange thing is, in 20 minutes I could make this look a hundred times better.

DAVID: It's worth a hundred quid in its state.

DOM: Yeah, yeah.

Anyway, but too much for us.

DOM: Too much.

OK, OK, OK. DAVID: Too much for us.

VO: You never know, a deal could be done.

Keep looking for now.

17 miles away, Rich and Irita have touched down in Chichester.

This cathedral city has been a major settlement since the Roman occupation and is the only city in West Sussex.

Rich and Irita have £245 to spend at Peter Hancock's, an antiques institution.

It's been in business since 1969.

Simon Hancock, son of the late Peter, runs the shop these days.

Aah!

RICH: Reminds me of my granny's old house.

(LAUGHS) IRITA: You know what it smells like to me?

Profit.

RICH: Profit!

(LAUGHS) VO: Someone's feeling confident.

Brace yourselves.

Ah, look at that.

That's really nice.

IRITA: I can hear you've spotted something.

Well, yeah.

You see, kids of today would never know when they've got their mobile phones doing Insta that that was the original way of doing it.

RICH: Look at that camera.

IRITA: Oh, that is nice.

Would that be expensive, do you think?

IRITA: Um, it won't be cheap.

RICH: Oh, right.

IRITA: Cuz things like that that have survived... RICH: Yeah.

..with the original lenses and all the wood intact... RICH: Mm-hm.

..they can fetch good money.

RICH: OK. That's...

I like that cuz that's kind of, again, it's part of our job and stuff.

Cameras... You know, we were always in front of the camera.

Yeah.

VO: This 19th century folding bellows camera was made in Germany and does have its original glass plates and brass fixtures.

IRITA: I've just spotted these.

RICH: Oh yeah?

How do you feel about telescopes?

RICH: Well, we are by the sea.

IRITA: I know.

IRITA: Imagine if they could tell you what they've seen... RICH: Mmm.

IRITA: ..where they've been.

IRITA: This one's 25 and it hasn't got any maker's marks anywhere.

RICH: This one's 65.

IRITA: This is a wood one.

It's so well made.

They are beautiful, aren't they?

RICH: Mm.

IRITA: All brass.

IRITA: And, look, they have three drawers, so they open up.

RICH: Yeah.

Lovely.

Both of them.

This is a wood one.

That one has a leather case.

Yeah.

Looking lovely.

Oh, didn't take the lens cap off!

RICH: Oh, there you are.

VO: Ahoy there!

The telescopes are both Victorian and have all their original brass parts, including the lens caps.

Ah, Simon, how're you doing?

SIMON: Hello.

So, we're at the last chance saloon.

We've got £245.

I'm going straight in cuz that's... SIMON: OK. RICH: ..all we have left.

RICH: That's our last pennies.

SIMON: Yeah, yeah.

But I'm looking at the camera next door, the plate camera.

That is a nice one.

RICH: Uh-huh.

Um, I think there's 280 on the asking price.

RICH: 280, Right.

And we've spotted these two.

They're 65 and 25.

SIMON: Yeah.

OK.

So that makes 90 for the two.

We're asking for a bit... We're literally putting the whole lot in for you.

£245.

The very best on the camera would be 200... RICH: OK. ..which then leaves...

I can do those for 45.

RICH: Oh, yes!

IRITA: Are you sure?

RICH: Did it.

IRITA: Every single... Simon, thank you so much.

IRITA: Every single penny spent.

You can have the whole lot.

There you go.

IRITA: You're an absolute star.

RICH: Thank you so much.

RICH: Yes, we did it.

IRITA: We've spent it all.

We're done.

Thank you.

We'll go and fetch it.

VO: 45 for the telescopes, 200 on the camera.

Rich and Irita are shopped up.

IRITA: You're taking pictures already?

VO: Back in Horndean, Dom and Dave aren't finished just yet.

Oh, it's a real hunting zone, this.

DOM: Isn't it just?

Isn't it just?

DAVID: My goodness me.

DOM: Yeah, I tell you what.

DOM: See these?

DAVID: Oh, yeah.

They probably don't class as antiques.

DAVID: OK. Yeah.

DOM: OK.

However, these really remind me, in the first house that me and my wife bought... DAVID: Right.

..we had a doorway that used to lead to the living room.

But there was a sofa there, so we couldn't have a door there.

Yeah.

So it was a redundant area.

DAVID: Yes.

DOM: So we said...

This is really weird that we've seen this.

So we said, "Why don't we get some glass blocks?"

And we found some really old glass blocks...

Right.

..exactly the same as this.

And my lovely father in law, who was a builder and renovator himself, he fitted them all into the doorway and made a beautiful feature of that doorway using these glass blocks.

DAVID: Exactly the... DOM: Not colored ones.

It was all glass, all just see-through glass.

Yeah.

But the colored ones are kind of beautiful.

You can use this to such great effect.

If you have three of them... DAVID: Oh, there is a third one.

And there's one there.

Yeah, there is three.

DAVID: Right.

DOM: Perfect.

VO: Repurposed and salvaged items like these can be popular decorator's pieces for interior design.

But we've got 25 quid and they're £20 each.

DOM: I reckon... DAVID: Go on.

..we can do it.

DAVID: Well, I...

I reckon...I seriously think we can take all three of these away, £25.

If we can do that, and even if we can get all three on the auction house for, like, 40 quid... DAVID: Yeah.

DOM: ..we've made money.

DAVID: Absolutely.

DOM: OK. DAVID: Shall we go and find someone and talk to them?

DOM: Let's go and find someone, see what we can do.

DAVID: This is going to be interesting.

It certainly is.

VO: Chris is the man you need to convince.

Good luck.

CHRIS: Hiya, Dom.

DOM: How're you doing?

DOM: Great to see you.

CHRIS: Nice to meet you.

DOM: Good to see you as well.

DAVID: Good to see you.

Wonderful place you've got here.

We've seen a couple of things that we really would like to talk to you about.

CHRIS: Yeah?

Only a couple?

DOM: And we wanted... Well, there are many things, but only a couple, probably, within our price range.

CHRIS: Yeah.

What I have here is literally what I have here.

CHRIS: Yeah.

DOM: So there's £25.

Right.

DOM: That's...That's what I have to offer you.

Three glass retro blocks over there.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

1970s ones.

DOM: Yes.

CHRIS: Yeah.

Yeah, that's... Oh, they're 1970s?

Yeah.

And I've got, again, £25 and they...

I understand that they're £20 each at the moment.

DOM: Uh, I could take one, but we would absolutely love you forever if we could have all three.

Well, actually it's £20 for the green ones and 10 for each of the clear ones.

So I'll accept 25 on that one.

DOM: Well, Chris... DAVID: Brilliant.

Brilliant.

What an absolute superstar.

That's amazing.

There's 25 quid and we'll take them out of the shop.

CHRIS: Fantastic.

DAVID: Brilliant.

DOM: Cheers, buddy.

VO: Very generous.

Thanks, Chris.

That's Dom and David all spent up.

DOM: Look at that!

DAVID: I love theses.

DOM: What a result.

But who's gonna win?

I beat you at the duel.

Right?

Well...you soaked me, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

So I think because I beat you at the duel, this is your turn to win.

RICH: Bungalow!

There's a bungalow!

Wahey!

It's called The Bungalow.

That's amazing, it's a sign, it's a sign.

Yeah.

Dick And Dom In The Antique Bungalow.

It's the next show.

VO: Sounds like a winner.

Time for your shut eye.

VO: Wakey wakey!

It's a lovely day for an auction, isn't it?

RICH: Today's the day, then.

We'll find out who the winner is, who's made the most wonga.

RICH: Come on.

DOM: What... We've gotta get to the auction on time.

We've gotta be at the auction on time.

I know, but I'm driving you really well.

If we don't make it, we won't sell our stuff.

VO: Have no fear, chaps.

It won't start without you.

After shopping in and around Portsmouth, the boys are heading west to Bristol, home of East Bristol Auctions, where Irita and David have already arrived.

Are you trying to be really tall?

IRITA: No!

DAVID: You are... DOM: Ah!

Hello there.

Time to make some money.

DOM: We're ready.

DAVID: You're confident.

RICH: Let's do it.

IRITA: Oh, wow.

DAVID: Marvelous.

In you go.

RICH: Come on.

IRITA: You've got energy today.

DAVID: Wow.

VO: Inside, potential buyers are settled and ready to get going, with bidders on the phone and the web too, all under the supervision of gavel basher Andy Stowe.

Selling and away, then.

VO: Rich and Irita spent every penny they had on five lots, with high hopes for this mid-20th century cinema chair.

Thoughts, Andy?

The cinema chair is a lovely piece of interior design.

It's got that wonderful curved backrest.

It screams cinema to you, it screams retro, it screams all of those words.

I think that that will be really popular with our bidders today.

VO: Promising, eh?

Dom and David also spent all their dosh on five lots, including the novel rabbit tape measure.

Is that handy, Andy?

It's very very nicely made.

ANDY: It would've been a very good quality piece back in the day.

And again, you know, sewing is still popular.

The kind of make do and mend attitude is still there.

So a lot of people are back into sewing and this is still a useful and decorative piece, and again, I think it should do quite well.

VO: Thanks Andy.

Now, we'd better take our places.

DOM: Right.

Here we go.

Ah.

Have you guys been to an auction before?

DOM: No.

IRITA: Never?

DOM: No, never, never.

IRITA: Do not lift your hand.

DOM: Very excited to do this.

IRITA: Don't wink.

DOM: Oh!

No, don't wink.

Don't nod.

I'm not very good at keeping still.

No, no, he's not.

He moves all of the time.

I've got fidgety-twitchy disease.

If you fidget and twitch, you'll go home with a truckload.

DOM: Oh.

VO: And we're here to sell, not buy.

Up first, Rich's late 19th century Chinese glovebox.

I think you'll get 30 quid for it.

RICH: OK. DAVID: Yeah, I'm with you.

IRITA: It's alright.

DAVID: Dom.

It was a random buy.

I don't know why I bought it, but... DOM: Papier mâché!

IRITA: But you did like it.

I know, I do like it, but it's not something... No, they're making excuses already.

That's a bad sign.

Where are we gonna be on this one?

Start me at £30.

Come on.

DAVID: Ooh.

RICH: Oh dear.

20 then.

IRITA: Oh, come on!

£20.

20 I'm bid on my screen.

Thank you.

At 20 I have.

Long way to go, that, Dom.

Long way.

Come on.

We've got a long way to go.

Selling on the maiden bid, then?

IRITA: No!

DOM: No one behind you wants it.

ANDY: At £20.

Going once.

DAVID: Ouch.

Ouch.

DOM: Oh.

ANDY: Twice.

IRITA: Oh!

ANDY: Third call.

DAVID: Ooh!

VO: Unlucky.

A loss to start the day, but plenty of time to make it back.

It's fine.

I knew it was a totally random buy, that one.

But did you enjoy the experience of owning it for a short period?

RICH: No, no.

DAVID: No, no?

VO: Perhaps the bidders will find Dom's rabbit tape measure more attractive.

DOM: Right.

We're up next.

DAVID: Yeah.

We are.

Now, it's really funny, because in that antique shop, I'm thinking, this is a jewel.

DAVID: Yeah, the rabbit.

DOM: It's gonna be incredible.

But now you look at it, it's mainly, like, really exciting furniture that's selling.

Yeah.

I'm not sure whether a rabbit tape measure's gonna sell.

IRITA: I genuinely think you have a chance of making a profit.

RICH: What?!

DAVID: OK, so what do you think?

DAVID: A win.

A loss?

RICH: Loss.

DAVID: What do you reckon?

DOM: Loss.

I think a win.

This is lovely.

DOM: Andy, isn't it lovely?

IRITA: Stop selling it.

It's beautiful.

That really is a stunning one.

And I can start straight in here at £30.

DAVID: Oh.

DOM: Ah.

30.

Five.

40 with me.

Here we go.

Go on.

Five.

50 on commission.

With me at £50, I'm bid.

ANDY: Who wants the five then?

Are we all done?

This is really nice.

It's a nice thing.

At £50.

Five in the room.

Oh!

ANDY: 60 online.

65.

DOM: It's got a live bid in.

Come back 70, then.

DAVID: Go on.

DOM: Come on.

Bidder in the room.

Fair warning, internet, then.

Are we all done?

70.

DOM: Go on, 70.

ANDY: Five, sir?

DAVID: Go on, sir.

ANDY: Go on, sir.

Hold on a minute, that's cheating.

You can't... Are you out?

One more, 75.

IRITA: It's got you in profit!

DAVID: Yes!

Come back.

80 anywhere else, then?

Go on, internet.

Nothing like giving in to pressure, sir, eh?

ANDY: At £75, I will sell.

ANDY: Going once.

DOM: Yep.

ANDY: Twice.

Third call.

DAVID: Yeah.

DOM: Yes, nice one.

Well done.

Well done.

Well done.

VO: £5 profit, achieved with some dubious saleroom antics.

Thank you, kind sir.

You're not allowed to start telling the people behind you that they've got to push up another fiver.

It's a hustle, it's a hustle.

It's not a hustle.

It's downright cheating!

No, it's just tactical play, that's all, Rich.

VO: Rich's impulse buy now, the Harrods ceramic telephone.

Is it a working phone?

No, it's pottery.

It's an ornament.

Oh, it's an ornament.

It's not a phone?

It was to advertise Harrods.

Advertising.

You only paid £10 for it.

Yeah, and we only paid £10.

IRITA: And it has a great name attached to it.

It's all about the name then?

RICH: Exactly.

IRITA: Yeah.

That's what we're hoping.

Start me at £20.

Any takers for £10?

Come on.

10 is bid in the room first.

RICH: Profit!

18, madam.

In the room at 18.

RICH: 18!

ANDY: Come back for 20.

RICH: Go on.

20 quid.

IRITA: Come on!

ANDY: 18 in the room.

Are we all done?

DOM: No!

RICH: Harrods!

ANDY: You're thinking about it.

RICH: It's Harrods!

ANDY: At 18.

In the room, then, selling.

Oh, well done, well done.

RICH: Profit.

DOM: Profit.

You're off.

VO: Excellent.

More of that, please.

DAVID: That's a good return.

DOM: Well done.

RICH: Yeah.

DAVID: Good return.

Profit feels good, doesn't it?

It does.

It feels better than loss.

IRITA: Yeah, I know.

VO: Can Dom's 1970s glass blocks turn a profit or will the bidders just glaze over?

Dom, the glass bricks.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, we loved them when we bought them.

We did.

How much did you pay for them?

On reflection... DAVID: 25.

RICH: 25.

For three, Rich, and one's green.

No, I do like the green one, I must admit.

IRITA: That's 24.50 too much.

DAVID: Oh!

IRITA: Ooh!

How much too much?

20 quid too much?

Many uses, very colorful.

Where are we gonna be?

ANDY: £30.

DAVID: Go on.

IRITA: No.

DAVID: They've got to be that.

Any takers for 20, then?

DAVID: Go on.

IRITA: No.

£20 for the three?

No, no, no.

10 and away then.

10 I'm bid.

Get in there.

Oh, boo.

ANDY: Are we all done?

DAVID: No.

DOM: No we're not.

IRITA: Yes.

Fair warning now, then.

Come on, internet.

ANDY: Look good in any home.

DAVID: Yeah.

Or bungalow.

Oi oi!

IRITA: Hey!

Who wants 12 then?

Fair warning.

Going once, twice.

Third call.

VO: Ah, that's a shame.

But things are a bit more even now.

I'm actually just slightly annoyed we paid so much for them now.

I know.

We did get carried away.

Can you believe it?

VO: Rich's turn again now.

Time for his Brazilian cinema chair.

DOM: Brazilian?

We've got high hopes on this one, cuz this is one of our big, biggest buys, you know?

It's nice.

I really like it.

So, where are we gonna be on this one, then?

£50.

From Brazil.

40 and away, then.

Any takers for £40?

40 I'm bid on my screen.

45.

IRITA: Come on.

ANDY: Are we all done?

DAVID: Yes.

ANDY: At £45.

All done.

ANDY: Fair warning now.

IRITA: No!

Going once.

Twice.

Third call.

VO: Ouch.

That's half price.

Very disappointing.

That's two losses you've made now.

Yeah.

Oh, they're... Look, they're dumbfounded.

We are dumbfounded.

You were right, David.

IRITA: Can you tell we're blanking you?

They're furious.

They are.

They're so angry.

DOM: Absolutely... RICH: What's your next item?

VO: I can tell you that.

(CHUCKLES) It's Dom's peacock picture.

We only paid 20 for it.

So, win or loss?

Well, it's not a painting.

Any takers for 20 then?

DOM: Oh yes.

ANDY: 20 I'm bid on my screen.

DAVID: Come on.

ANDY: At £20.

Who wants two, then?

DOM: 22!

DAVID: Yes!

22 is bid.

£22.

They'll be so disappointed when they get it.

Oh, you are horrible!

ANDY: And selling and away at £22.

On paper, it's a profit.

VO: Indeed.

Every penny counts.

That's how you come out on top.

On paper we're winners.

DOM: We made £2.

IRITA: Hmm.

Two quid on that.

DAVID: Yeah.

IRITA: Whatever.

We're doing well.

We're doing well.

VO: Avast, me hearties!

I spy another chance to make a profit with the two Victorian brass telescopes.

RICH: They are very nice.

DOM: They are.

But again, so specialist, isn't it?

I think they'd make nice decorations.

Mm.

You've got two.

You've got two.

You don't agree?

I'm trying to get excited about these things.

DOM: Dr Doom over here.

DAVID: Yeah.

Start me at £30.

Surely.

30 I've got.

Here you go.

Here you go.

You're off.

ANDY: Who wants that five?

35 now.

DAVID: Yeah.

IRITA: Keep going.

40.

Five is bid.

Come on.

One more.

ANDY: At £45.

IRITA: Give us one profit.

Are we all done?

IRITA: No!

RICH: Give us one.

Come on.

Anybody?

Selling and away.

DAVID: Oh!

IRITA: (SIGHS) At £45.

Are we done?

Be sure.

No!

Oh, Rich.

Massive loss today.

VO: They washed their face, but we were hoping for more.

Just ignore that bit.

Yeah, forget it ever happened.

Yeah.

VO: Time for Dom's octagonal wall clock.

£35 for a 200 year old, beautiful... You're selling it.

..handmade clock.

How do you work that out?

Simple.

It hasn't got any workings.

DAVID: Oh, good one, yeah.

It looks good.

See, to me, that's where I think we're gonna go wrong.

Sorry to be a pessimist.

No.

No, no.

Be pessimistic.

Not to be fluffy about it, but I think the fact it hasn't got anything inside it... Start me at 20 then.

Any takers?

Oh!

20 we're bid.

Two.

Five.

Here we go.

Eight.

It's got a battery in it, if it helps.

Are we all done?

DAVID: No.

IRITA: Go on, a little bit more.

30's in the room.

Five.

40.

DAVID: Go on.

ANDY: 40's in the room.

IRITA: Yay!

DAVID: Go on.

ANDY: Come back, internet, if you'd like.

At £40, then, in the room.

Go on.

One more, internet.

Selling and away, then, at 40.

Up, up, up, up!

VO: Ding dong!

Another £5 to the good.

IRITA: Hey, well done, guys.

RICH: Another profit.

Lovely job.

VO: Here comes Rich's big ticket item, this 19th century folding camera cost him £200.

IRITA: The big buy.

The big spend.

This is another one of our big...

This is the biggest buy.

Now, this one, I think you're gonna smash it.

RICH: Do you?

IRITA: Do you like it?

DOM: The camera?

IRITA: Yeah.

I love it.

IRITA: Tell him what we paid.

RICH: £200.

DAVID: Whoa.

Oh.

Your face.

And I'm bid 45.

50.

Five I've got bid.

At £55.

60 I have.

Mahogany!

At £65.

IRITA: No!

ANDY: Any advance, then?

ANDY: Are we...?

70.

IRITA: Come on.

ANDY: 80.

IRITA: It's so cheap.

ANDY: Five.

RICH: It's got the lens.

ANDY: At £85 bid then.

IRITA: Come on.

ANDY: Are we all done?

IRITA: One more.

Going once, then.

Twice.

Third call.

Ooh!

That is unbelievable.

VO: Oh, dear.

Not what we were hoping for.

Very nice piece gone cheap.

DOM: That's a shame.

DAVID: Oh, that's a shame.

IRITA: That's a shame.

DOM: Genuine shame.

It's worth more than £85, that, isn't it?

IRITA: Mm.

DAVID: Well... Well, it's clearly not.

It's clearly not.

I think the market has decided.

VO: And last but not least, it's Dom's big spend, the enamel sign.

Rich, this might just cheer you up, because we might be on the brink of losing a... DOM: Bankruptcy.

DAVID: ..lot of money.

Bankruptcy.

I can go straight in at 140.

150.

RICH: What?

IRITA: Oh.

160.

I'm bid at 160.

Come on, Dom!

170, 180.

RICH: I don't believe it.

190.

200, I have.

At 200.

DAVID: Go on.

ANDY: 220.

DAVID: Yes!

IRITA: Oh my God.

240 I've got.

260.

280 now.

DAVID: Yes!

IRITA: No!

Look, it's still going up!

ANDY: At £280 then.

Are we all done?

No, not yet.

At 280, then.

are we done?

Be sure.

It's a nice thing.

A rare thing.

ANDY: At 280.

DAVID: Oh.

DOM: Come on.

Up, up, up!

ANDY: With fair warning.

Once then.

DAVID: Oh.

Oh.

ANDY: Twice.

ANDY: Third call.

DAVID: Oh.

DAVID: Yes!

IRITA: Oh!

I don't believe that.

ANDY: Thank you so much.

Well done, guys.

VO: Oh, that was exciting.

What a lovely way to round things off.

IRITA: Well... DAVID: Ah.

Unbelievable.

A memorable journey.

RICH: Not for me.

Not for us.

DAVID: It has been!

Has for you.

It is memorable.

Yeah, it is memorable.

You won't forget it.

RICH: Lost a load of money.

VO: Well, let's do the sum, shall we?

Rich and Irita started off with £400, and after calculating auction costs, they made a loss.

They end the day on £174.66.

Meanwhile, Dom and David, who began with the same amount, also have made a small loss.

After saleroom fees, they finished with £350.14 pence, making them today's winners!

DAVID: The walk of confidence.

DOM: Nice.

Oh man.

Brr!

IRITA: That was the feeling.

Oh.

Is that it then?

Is that it?

That's it, that's it.

VO: Well, not quite.

(CAR HORN) DOM: Wow.

Well, I wasn't prepared for that experience.

RICH: Great fun.

DOM: In this.

RICH: In this.

It's a shame it's probably got to go to the scrap after we've finished with it.

Yeah, well, after you've driven it it will.

Unbelievable.

VO: So long, fellas.

We'll have you back in da Land Rover anytime.
