VO: Some of the nation's favorite celebrities... Why have I got such expensive tastes?
VO: ..one antiques expert each... Oh!
(LAUGHS) Do you want me to cry?
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?
Good evening, viewers.
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, Celebrity Road Trip is a battle of the soaps.
Yes, it is north vs south, tripe vs jellied eels, Weatherfield vs Walford.
How do I open the door?
VO: Starring EastEnders' Shaun Williamson.
Right, there's no door handle.
VO: And Coronation Street's Vicky Entwhistle.
Hey, we could do like a Starsky and Hutch and just jump over.
20 years ago... Well, I'll push you.
..I'd have taken you up on that.
VO: And just getting in this stunning 1998 TVR Chimera has already got them into a bit of a lather.
VICKY: Ah!
SHAUN: Hey.
Well done.
It's under the wing mirror.
Hey, that's posh.
Why?
VICKY: Oh, it's very low, in't it?
Yeah, it's very low.
Right, now don't mess my hair up, because I've got loads of hairspray on.
I've got my... em, some breakfast for us.
Oh.
VO: No rush, Shaun, there's only TV gold to make.
Two pieces of toast, one with raspberry jam on and one with Marmite.
VICKY: Can I have the jam?
SHAUN: Yes.
I hate Marmite.
It's one of them, isn't it, you either like it or you don't.
I wish I had dark sunglasses on.
We're like Thelma and Louise.
Yes!
Who was who?
I never knew.
I hope we find our Brad Pitt, that's all I'm saying.
VO: Well, look no further, Vicky, you can take your pick from either of these two fine specimens of manhood in a fine 1971 TR6 are the racy Mark Stacey... You're a big soap fan, aren't you?
VO: And the rugged Paul Laidlaw.
I just...
Which leads on...
I can see you during the week with your onesie and your one big slipper on with a cup of cocoa.
Have you been stalking me?
I...
I... D'you know, I've got a webcam.
(BOTH LAUGH) VO: Paul Laidlaw was an amateur collector for years, before becoming an auctioneer and an expert in militaria, and he just loves shooting from the lip.
Shaun, Celebrity Mastermind winner, I believe.
MARK: Oh, so you and him will have a lot in common.
Yes, yes.
Anorak central, is it?
Well, I wasn't saying that, Paul, but I think a lot of people have just said... nodded, nodded in agreement at home.
Mmm knowingly, mmm.
And I think Tim's listening and he's having a good giggle at that one.
VO: I couldn't possibly comment, Mark.
But what I will tell the viewers is that you're an independent consultant, valuer and dealer with 25 years experience who simply loves Coronation Street.
And we used to work together.
MARK: I love Coronation Street.
VO: See?
And I know you're a huge fan of Shaun's now and I love Coronation Street, so we know where we're going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, it don't get better than this, alright.
VO: Here here.
But Shaun and Vicky might be a while yet.
They're having some soapy bubble with the car.
So, the one on the left is a clutch.
Oh.
Right, we're in gear.
Right.
Thunderbirds are go.
VO: Thank goodness for that.
It would've been a short show otherwise.
So, how do our actors think they might cope with the world of antiques?
You see, obviously in EastEnders Barry was a bit of a wheeler and dealer.
He would know nothing about antiques.
The only antique he ever came into contact with was Pat Butcher.
But the good thing about Barry was he'd be able to blag it.
I bet some of her earrings were antique.
Some of Pat's earrings?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They were as big as sideboards.
What about Janice?
Janice Battersby would be useless.
I think because she'd only be interested in the gold sovereigns.
Give me your Chipperfields.
Where's your little carved mice?
Is it Chipperfield or is that a circus?
That's a circus, I think.
Is it?
God we're going to be useless.
Oh, it's going to be grim, isn't it?
VO: Both of today's soap-soaked teams have £400 to spend on their road trip, which will take them from Hemingfield across South Yorkshire, before going up and round the beautiful North Yorkshire Dales, and then taking the long road back down south to auction 140 miles away in Birmingham.
This looks rather nice.
Hello there.
MARK: Hello.
SHAUN: There we go.
That's some chariot you've brought.
It is.
Oh, this is very nice, isn't it?
SHAUN: We've only just learnt how to open the doors.
So, have we gravitated into teams by any chance?
I think we've...
I...
I...
Yes.
We might have done.
Mark, see you there.
Good luck, Barry, lovely to see you.
Hey, we're going to the same shop.
Oh, we are.
I'm going to see you soon.
Get in the car.
They've got the fast car.
We need to go first.
VO: With the teams decided and Paul and Shaun just about fitting in the Triumph it leaves me to say... Oh!
Right, let's get it on.
I've never seen a knob do that before.
VO: Hmm.
Ladies and gentlemen - start your engines!
Like the Blues Brothers.
VO: First out into the stunning South Yorkshire countryside are Vicky and Mark.
MARK: Are you competitive, Vicky?
I'll even get competitive in Cluedo.
No?
Yeah, I try and look in the envelope when no-one's looking.
Oh, you d... Oh, that's cheating.
Well, yeah.
That's not competitive.
But I'm liking it.
VO: Cheeky!
Not too far behind are Shaun and Paul.
PAUL: Right then, Shaun, it's me and thee in a classic car on a mission to buy antiques.
Is this... Is this uncharted territory, or..?
Oh, just when I thought life couldn't get any stranger.
MARK: But I think what we'll do is try and work as a pair.
Yeah.
And I will be blunt, but if you pick up things that are signed by a well-known artist that I refer to called C Rap.
C... (LAUGHS) I will be telling you that that is not acceptable.
VO: That's her told then!
The teams are going just over a mile down the road to Elsecar, home to Elsecar Heritage Centre.
First through the doors are Vicky and Mark.
After you.
Oh, thank you, you gentleman.
Oh well, I try you know.
Oh, God, I feel lost already.
Cabinets everywhere.
VO: With dozens of dealers over two huge floors, getting lost is going to be easy, Mark.
Vicky and Mark will need to be quick round the cabinets to exploit their head start over the boys.
And they're on our tail here.
VO: They certainly are!
They're bric-a-brac and then buy more.
What's this here?
VO: Vicky spots something sweet.
That's a sugar caster, I think.
VO: And so does Mark.
Oh, I don't think it's quite my color.
D'you not?
It would've done very well in Brighton.
I thought that was a very early one then, but it isn't.
Oh, that's another sugar shaker.
I...
I'm into my sugar shakers.
I can see that, I mean I can see you're...
Shake your sugar.
That's quite fun, isn't it?
It's a little Meissen dish.
VO: In 1710 the Meissen company was the first European firm to successfully copy the Chinese method of producing porcelain.
It's still in business today and its famous trademark of two crossed swords is believed to be one of the oldest in existence.
That's rather nice, you know.
Let's get that.
And if nobody buys it we can just put olives in it.
Oh, hark at you.
Be nice.
VO: Ticketed at £34 that's one item put aside before Shaun and Paul even get there.
They might even manage a second before the boys arrive.
Yeah.
I love that.
VO: Vicky loves visiting churches, so this stained glass is right up her street.
It's really pretty, isn't it?
I think it's gorgeous.
I love stained glass.
I just think it's so pretty and... and the way that, you know, it's made.
It's such an artform.
...Here or not?
They're here.
Can you see them?
They're here.
They're here.
VICKY: How much is it?
Well, it's... 135 was it?
135.
It's a lot of money, isn't it?
It's quite a lot of money.
It looks like it could be a painting.
If that was going into the auction we're going into, they'd probably estimate it at something like £80-£120.
Really?
So, we'll need to get it down a bit, really.
Yeah.
But you don't see a lot of them.
I think it's really nice, actually.
VO: This glass dates from the late 19th century.
It's pre-Raphaelite in style - they were a Victorian art movement who took their inspiration from the early Renaissance.
VICKY: I love it.
MARK: I...
I like the fact that your eyes lit up when you saw it.
Yeah.
I think she's really bonnie.
Really sweet.
There they are, there they are.
Are they carrying... Look at that.
Sneak up behind them and see what they're talking about.
Parting with money.
Can you, can you pop that with our other item.
Certainly, yes.
Thank you very much.
And I think... Oh, no.
Oh.
Quick, hide.
Hide everything.
Well, we've got... You spent any money?
We're being very tactful.
We've got a few things on hold.
Five or six at least at the moment.
What?
Is... Is that because you got here an hour before us because you put that sugar in our petrol tank?
Now, off with you!
Carry on.
Good luck, have fun.
Bye.
Good luck.
You're gonna need it.
VO: But will they need it?
Boxing fan Shaun seems a bit of an expert on some of the items.
I can spy Frank Bruno and Henry Cooper.
There's some boxing stuff up here as well.
PAUL: Tell me about it.
I mean, there's some lovely stuff of Henry Cooper.
Unfortunately, I mean, I've got a lot of stuff like this, so, you know, obviously it's beautiful and it's worth what someone's wanting to pay for it, but I think there's so much of it, you know, you'd only make a fiver profit or... OK. Tenner, tenner profit.
Though I'd love to get hold of a piece of boxing memorabilia to auction.
VO: A nice bit of expertise from our celeb there, but it still leaves them empty handed.
Over in the other corner, it's Mark and Vicky's final round.
Ding, ding, seconds out!
They're going for the Meissen dish and the stained glass.
Both items belong to local dealer Carl Masters.
Can they box clever and get a knockdown on the glass?
Em, you've got a reasonable-ish sum on it.
What could you do on that one?
Purely because my beautiful daughters are massive fans... Oh.
..of The Street and they'd murder me if the other team win.
Ooh.
This is looking hopeful.
Oh.
I knew that program would come in handy one day.
VO: The Corrie connection is coming up trumps already.
Price of 135.
I'll do that at £80 for you.
VICKY: Ooh!
MARK: Woah, hold on.
VO: Stay calm Vicky, you're supposed to negotiate, girl!
MARK: And what about the little dish?
Eh, the little Meissen dish, eh, 34, the price.
I'll do it at 20.
So 100 for the two?
100 for the two.
See, that stands a reasonable chance.
If I was very cheeky, Carl, and said 90, would that be possible or not?
I don't want to push you unnecessarily, so I don't want you to be too close, but if we could get it for 90 we'd be over the moon, wouldn't we?
What about if I said I'll give you that lovely little anointing spoon brooch?
Oh, gosh.
Solid silver.
I've not dated it, Mark, but it's clearly hallmarked on the back.
VO: And a freebie too!
It's a little ...
Isn't it sweet?
VO: Carl's daughter must be a big fan.
Yeah, that's sweet.
And it is hallmarked, actually.
And it's a little brooch.
Yeah.
It's quite unusual.
It is.
Yeah...
This is the jubilee mark.
1935.
VICKY: Shall we do that?
MARK: £100 including that.
I love you.
Thank you very much, Carl.
My daughters...
Thanks Carl.
My daughters will love me if you win.
Give him a little hug.
They'll love this.
VO: There's one for the Masters' family album!
So gonna win.
VO: So that's the dish, spoon and the stained glass for 100 smackers and one big smacker from Vicky.
Ooh.
Mwah!
MARK: Honestly, it's like Blind Date here.
VICKY: Hey, sod the antiques.
VO: Shaun and Paul are still on the hunt for their first item and Paul's spotted something that's definitely got legs.
Where's Shaun?
Yeah?
Gonna blow your mind.
VO: There's a promise!
OK. A turnover-top tea table.
Very genteel.
Ta-da.
OK. And I'll wager this turns... Yeah, so you turn that 90 degrees and open it out.
So, it closes up and it can sit on the side of the room.
Period, William IV.
1830-1840.
Yeah?
Proper antique.
But this, well, at this period many are on columns, little pillars and platform bases.
This with this wonderful horseshoe-like support, does that do anything, Shaun in any way, is that...?
I really love it and I love when it folds out, the em... Oh, look at this.
It's beautiful.
VO: I'm not sure a turn-over top table constitutes mindblowing, but Shaun is impressed.
Can they reduce the already reduced ticket price of £250?
I'm wondering if the guy wants to see the back of that.
I wonder if he would...
I wonder if there's slack in that price yet.
VO: Only one way to find out - ask the dealer, yes it's Corrie fan Carl.
PAUL: Carl, good to see you.
It is in the sale at 250, but I'll do it at 150.
PAUL: 150?
CARL: Yeah.
And that's the death?
SHAUN: I don't want all this Coronation Street nonsense to sway you.
That's what you're going to get off my daughters.
My daughters are avid fans, so... VO: But don't count Shaun out yet.
PAUL: Gonna make a play?
Carl, there's...
There's seven crisp 20s there.
(PAUL LAUGHS) CARL: I'm not even going to argue.
Really?
140?
140.
Oh, thank you very much.
I'm a traitor to Coronation Street though, aren't I?
My daughters will... My daughters will murder me.
Well, thank you very much indeed.
You've... You've got us off to a great a great start.
Thank you very much, Carl.
Bless you.
VO: Vicky and Mark are already on their way to their next shop, just two and half miles up the road in Wentworth.
But for Corrie fanatic Mark, it's still a chance to find out more about one of his favorite characters, Janice Battersby.
How much of Janice is in Vicky?
Well, when I first started, I used to think very little, you know, we're completely different people.
But then after a while of playing her, I kind of started merging into her, which I didn't like, you know, and became - according to my husband - very argumentative, very opinionated, and loud.
And we'd watch it and he'd go "oh, I recognize that tone of voice", you know what I mean, and I think he's much happier that Janice has kind of been put to bed.
VO: Aw, we love you as you are Vicky and so hopefully will the people at Wentworth Antiques - Jan Sweeting and David Smith.
MARK: Now, if you see anything, you know, that you like, don't be frightened to tell me, will you?
Right.
More cabinets is it?
Not quite so crammed this time, are they?
VO: Mark spots something that might just raise the spirits when they go to auction in Birmingham.
Ooh, now that's interesting.
It says there something from Birmingham.
1872.
We're selling in Birmingham.
VICKY: They might like it.
MARK: They might like that.
VICKY: Yeah, let's have look.
This here?
That's it, yes please.
Now, what have we got here?
"A keepsake from Birmingham 5 May 1872".
Wow.
VO: These neat little hip flask used to be silver plated but it's worn away over the years.
Leather embossed.
£45.
Hmm.
It's quite a bit, really, see that comes off.
Ah.
So then when you pour your nip in there, you can use it as a glass.
VICKY: Really?
DAVID: Yeah.
DAVID: That's gotta be worth £40 on its own.
Yes.
Even without the top flask.
Can you put it at the counter?
You see, I like this.
VO: I like it too.
It's a very fetching three piece art deco tea set.
VICKY: Yeah, I like that.
Cuz you like a cup of tea, don't you?
Mm, I do like a cup of tea.
This is silver plate.
But isn't it... Now, what shape is that?
Art deco.
That's why I like it.
I'm leaving.
You don't need me.
My work here is done.
I don't need you.
Bye, Mark.
(LAUGHS) VO: The art deco style dates from the 20s, and like this tea set uses straight lines and geometric shapes.
But it is really nice, isn't it?
It's a pretty shape isn't it?
And this is faux ivory.
VO: Also known as Bakelite.
But again I think it would probably be estimated at 40-£60.
VICKY: How much is it?
85.
Ooh, gosh.
It's expensive isn't it?
Bit way off.
Do you like it, though?
Ah.
I don't know if I like it that much.
Really?
Well, I do like it, but I think if we're not going to get the 85 back, we can't go there, can we?
Well, of course, you'd only put an estimate of 40-60.
It might well... And then if I went round kissing everybody again... We might get 20 or 30.
(LAUGHS) VO: Nothing else seems to be tickling their fancy so it's down to business on the spirit flask and the tea set.
Hello, we're back.
Hello.
VO: First up it's the flask and Mark is using Vicky as his excuse for a cheeky offer of £10.
This is Coronation Street vs EastEnders.
JAN: Is it?
MARK: Yep.
We need to know where your loyalties lie.
So it's... you know.
Versus Southfield.
VO: And now they're appealing to their Northern loyalty - shameless!
Wait, that's a different show isn't it?
MARK: What do you think, Vic?
VICKY: Well if we're going to buy this as well.
I mean, it is a very striking piece.
Correct, and at £85.
Look at me when I'm talking to you.
That is a great price.
It is a great price.
But because it's for Vicky.
Ooh, he's gonna... Ooh!
You big meanie!
Coronation Street.
For Corrie.
For Corrie, yeah.
£55.
(BOTH GASP) DAVID: You can't believe how cheap it is, can you?
Did he actually say what I thought he said?
Yeah.
I think if we said 55 for the two would be lovely, wouldn't it?
Ah, that would be great.
I would love you forever.
Because I think there's a chance at a profit, and there'll be a cuddle all round, won't there?
Yeah, and a kiss.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You'll never get him off.
And even... And even one from Vicky.
Have we got any tablets here?
(LAUGH) Are you feeling ill?
VO: Wait a minute, is that Jim Bowen behind the counter?
We would, we would be happy with that.
Thank you.
Go on.
Let me give you a cuddle.
And she's going to give him one.
VO: So with another big smacker dished out it's time to dish out the big smackers.
£10 for the spirit flask and £45 for the art deco tea set.
Thank you very much.
I don't know about you, but I need a sit down and a cup of tea.
So do I.
Thank you very much indeed.
See you later.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Wasn't that amazing?
VO: The boys have now finished up in Elsecar and are heading 11 miles east to Cusworth Hall outside Doncaster where there's a special surprise for boxing fan Shaun.
PAUL: And you've boxed in your youth?
I...
I...
I boxed for the Royal Navy.
I just felt that I...
I...
I.. needed to find out what it was like to get into a boxing ring, if I was going to watch other people beating each other up.
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you can feel the punches yourself now when you're watching it?
Yeah, and, and, and when people say to me now, you know "do you get nervous before you go on stage", it's nothing.
It's nothing compared to waiting to go into a boxing ring.
The worst thing...
The worst thing that can happen in the theater is that somebody rustles a bag of sweets in the front row.
VO: The majestic Cusworth Hall is an 18th century Grade I listed building which now hosts the Museum of South Yorkshire Life.
Paul and Shaun have come here to meet local historian Giles Brearley who managed to track down a lost piece of art featuring hero of the noble art.
GILES: I understand you're very interested in a very famous Yorkshire heavyweight boxer?
I am.
I am indeed.
The great Iron Hague.
Well, we've actually got a few little treats in store regarding the Iron and his career.
If you want to follow me and... Can't wait.
Thank you very much.
VO: Over 100 years ago James William 'Iron' Hague was a real-life Rocky who came from nothing to become English Heavyweight champion and to fight the best in the world.
He was a local hero to the thousands of ordinary people who lived in South Yorkshire and earned a fortune, before giving much of it away and returning to obscurity.
And there he is.
This is the man himself.
SHAUN: Wow.
That's a great picture, isn't it?
GILES: Yeah.
Lovely picture.
SHAUN: So, who would have commissioned this picture?
Eh, the National Sporting Club would commission the picture.
Every heavyweight champion that they had had their portrait done.
VO: Due to a dispute in the boxing world, this painting of him by H Lancaster was thought to be lost forever until Giles started doing some research into Hague's life for a book.
And what a life it was.
Hague came from Mexborough, a nearby mining town when mining was one of the worst paid and most dangerous jobs in the country.
But boxing offered a way out, first fighting for his colliery and then in a traveling fair before becoming town champ and then county champ.
He was offered a crack at the English heavyweight title in London against Gunner Moir in 1909, and was given a tremendous local send off.
SHAUN: And of course in those days when there wasn't, you know, this instant... You know, you couldn't watch it on telly, there was no mobile phone use.
No, what actually the people did as the fight was on the next day, the people went up to the telegraph office on the High Street and at 10pm at night the street was full of people all around the telegraph office waiting for the telegraph to come up with the result and when the result came up the whole town cheered.
SHAUN: Can I pick those gloves up?
Of course.
Am I allowed to?
Of course.
Don't tell me these are the actual ones that...
These are the actual gloves that, em, that put Gunner Moir down in 1909.
VO: Hague lost his title in 1911 having earned over a million pounds in today's currency.
He spent his fortune on his family and on good causes - it's said he bought shoes for barefoot children he saw in the street.
In 1914 he joined the Grenadier Guards but was gassed at the Somme.
His later years were dogged by ill health, but he did however live to be a grandfather as this picture shows.
And Giles has a surprise in store for Shaun.
SHAUN: Are any of the grandchildren still alive?
Em... yes, actually, Jeanette.
We'd like to take you to meet Jeanette.
What, now?
We can... Yeah, yeah.
Come on.
SHAUN: Really?
GILES: Yes.
So this, this baby...?
This baby, yes, yep.
Jeanette's here.
She's sat outside, have we to go and have a natter with her?
Yes please.
Wow.
Is that them there?
Yeah, over here.
I've just seen a picture of you as a baby, and do you know what... JEANETTE: Me?
You haven't changed a bit.
Have you got any memories of him?
JEANETTE: Oh, yeah.
SHAUN: Really?
Yeah.
I've got memories of him giving us thruppence and saying "Go and get some chips from the fish shop".
That's a proper grandad, that is, isn't it?
Fantastic.
VO: But what about that painting?
Well Iron Hague might have remained only in the memory of his family and local boxing fans if it weren't for that detective work by Giles.
JEANETTE: We lost that portrait many many years ago, and it was only by speaking to Giles that I said it was down in London and we couldn't find it and he said "do you want it back, Jeanette?"
And I said "Yes".
And he did all the spadework to get that portrait back.
Where did you trace it to?
I tracked him down, actually Barry McGuigan was a great help to us in helping track it down and we found him in actually in storage in Croydon, so I managed to persuade the people that it was still the family property, I wanted it to be returned back to South Yorkshire to his home and to the museum, so they agreed.
VO: Cusworth Hall was only too happy to give the painting pride of place and ensure future generations of visitors will now know the story of 'Iron' Hague.
SHAUN: You have got that beautiful portrait hanging up in that beautiful house, so what can you say, the Iron Hague, gone but never forgotten.
That's right.
Never forgotten Thank you so much.
Thank you.
That's it, you're welcome.
VO: It's been an opening day of purchases and pugilism here in South Yorkshire and with both our teams feeling a bit punch-drunk it's time to say nighty night!
VO: It's another day in paradise, well Yorkshire actually, for our soap-sudded, star-studded duos.
And Shaun seems quite taken by the antiques game.
VICKY: Do you think you could do it full time?
I'd like to because it's just a lovely life, isn't it?
The life of the antique dealer, you know.
It would be nice sort of mincing around the Yorkshire Dales.
A bit of a Lovejoy?
In an open-topped sports car.
Yeah.
A Cockney Lovejoy.
I suppose like anything it is a lifetime of knowledge and expertise.
VO: And with Paul's lifetime of knowledge and expertise to rely upon Team Williamson spent a hefty £140 on one item - a William IV mahogany tea table.
Vicky and Mark spent a miserly £155 on four items.
A 19th century pre-Raphaelite style stained glass panel depicting winter at £80, a Victorian silver plated and leather spirit flask for £10, a 19th century spoon tray costing £20 and a lovely little art deco three piece tea set for a very agreeable £45.
Mark is a right case.
It's like Carry On Antiques when we get together.
He is Kenneth Williams, I am Babs Windsor.
But no, he is fun.
VO: So our teams are getting on well but with only one item purchased yesterday, the pressure is on Paul and Shaun.
Having crossed South Yorkshire yesterday.
Today will take both our teams through the beautiful dales of North Yorkshire, starting off in the historic spa town of Harrogate.
Harrogate's health-giving waters were discovered in the 16th century and it's been a popular tourist destination for over 300 years.
In 1982, it hosted the Eurovision Song Contest and the winner that year was German teenager Nicole, with A Little Peace.
Vicky and Mark picked up a few little pieces yesterday so they can relax, but Paul and Shaun need to get going.
SHAUN: So, how are you?
You all fit?
MARK: Oh, yeah.
You seem...they seem quietly confident don't they?
Ah, yeah... We are not quietly confident, but we had a very successful day yesterday.
we were happy.
We managed to bag a few items, didn't we?
And of course they absolutely...
I am amazed that they love Coronation Street up here.
We are up north, you see.
Yeah.
My manor.
You're gonna have to... We're gonna have to film a rematch in the east end.
Alright, have a good one.
Have a good day.
Yes.
MARK: We are not in a panic, are we?
VICKY: Are we heck, we're chilled as anything.
I think we need to go and find a cup of tea, Vic.
Let's go to Betty's tea rooms.
Shall we?
Shall we go to Betty's tea rooms?
It's in the bag, they think.
Yeah.
Well, it ain't over yet.
We're gonna prove 'em wrong, buddy.
We've got a leisurely day ahead of us.
I'm gonna read the papers, have a nice cup of tea... ..and a f... a fondant fancy.
Ooh, I do like a nice fondant fancy.
VO: After they've sampled the local cakes, Mark and Vicky don't have far to go for their first shop, just a couple of miles up the road to Pannal and the Harrogate Antiques Centre.
VICKY: I love this job.
You've got the best job in the world.
I mean, at times it's wonderful, isn't it?
I must admit driving a luxury car with a leg end.
With a leg end!
I tend to say icon.
MARK: Here we are.
Antiques & Vintage.
VO: And here to meet them at Harrogate Antiques is David Wilding.
I'm Mark.
I'm David.
Nice to meet you, David.
This is Vicky.
Hi, Vicky.
How are you?
You alright?
VO: It's a big space with a lot to look at.
Well, keep looking and shout if you see anything.
I will.
Oh that'd be wonderful.
There's so much in, in here, that I want to look at it all, but I can't see the wood for the trees.
What do you think of this?
VO: Oh, I don't think it's his color unfortunately Vicky.
Or his size.
Yeah.
Goes with your complexion.
And you can put these round, you know, to tie a little bit tighter.
VO: I told you so.
Yes.
Where've you gone?
Oh there you... Oh, aren't you little?
VO: Stop messing about you two!
There's antiques to buy and the clock is ticking.
There's a little, em, a little dish round here.
See, there it is.
Where?
It's like a little loveheart.
Yeah, there's a... A loveheart.
It's £76 though.
Yeah, but it doesn't mean we have to pay that.
Birmingham 1898.
VICKY: Birmingham, you see.
MARK: Yeah, but...
It's the Birmingham theme.
But a lot of...
It's the Brummie theme.
B... BRUMMIE ACCENT: I like it.
MARK: D'you like it?
VICKY: I love it.
Em, David, could I have a look at this little dish please?
The loveheart.
The loveheart.
Em...
I really like that, I think it's dead sweet.
OK. Well then... Let's see what we can get.
Give it to Dave and let's see what we can get.
VO: David phones Roman, the dish's owner to do a deal.
Tell him it's Janice Battersby.
Right it's Janet Battersby.
VO: And Mark's keen to exploit Vicky's home ground.
Have a word with her and see what you can negotiate.
Roman.
Hello.
I'm alright, Roman, thanks, are you?
I'm in love with this little tray, I think it's gorgeous.
Eh, £76 you've got it on for.
VO: Mark's told Vicky to go for an ambitious £20-30.
You've shocked him.
But we have to make a profit and beat EastEnders.
35.
Well, I...I like even numbers.
He's saying he likes even numbers.
I mean, I mean... 36, he says.
(BOTH LAUGH) Right, 32.
Right, I will, 32.
That's lovely.
We'll have that.
Thank you.
Have a... Have a great day.
See you later.
Bye.
Hah!
32 quid and that is less than half price.
Come on, give me a hug.
VO: Result - well done Vicky.
She's secured a bon-bon dish for £32 - a possible companion for the silver spoon brooch Carl gave them yesterday.
MARK: Well.
I'm really pleased with what we've got.
Yeah.
I'm really pleased we found that last item.
VICKY: We?
MARK: Yeah.
I found that.
I. Oh, you're playing that game, are you?
Alright, thanks.
Get in the car.
Don't take the credit for all my hard work.
Get in the car.
Unbelievable.
I thought we were a team.
Priceless.
Honestly.
Vicky Entwhistle.
Priceless.
VO: It wasn't priceless - it was £32.
Meanwhile Paul and Shaun are heading from Harrogate, all through the Dales to Pateley Bridge, 16 miles away.
And it's a chance for Paul to find out more about Shaun's career post-EastEnders.
When you've been in a soap opera for 10 years it does typecast you.
So when Ricky Gervais phoned me up and said do you want to be in my new series, Extras.
"Yes I would love to, what is the name of my character"?
"Barry from EastEnders".
But everybody who agreed to be in that show did it with very good grace, you know, some very famous people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ben Stiller, Samuel L Jackson.
PAUL: Astonishing.
SHAUN: You know... And Winslet, I mean... Kate Winslet.
And she was... Robert De Niro.
VO: Yep, we had all of them on standby if you and Vicky weren't available Shaun.
Maybe next series, eh?
But before then, there's the sweet little town of Pateley Bridge to visit.
It's home to the oldest sweet shop in England, conveniently named the Oldest Sweet Shop In England.
Whoever took a gamble on that name was a genius.
Or psychic.
With no time to waste the boys hit the streets.
I'm looking forward to this, I've got the bit between my teeth.
VO: Crow's Nest Antiques is run by the lovely Linda Hanby and her rather quiet husband Chris.
You OK?
I'm Shaun.
Hi, I'm Linda.
Hi.
Very pleased to meet you, Linda.
How're you doing, I'm Paul.
Hi, I'm Linda.
Good to see you.
VO: With no time to waste can Linda point them in the right direction?
Are you looking for something big, or are you looking for something small?
We're looking for someth... Do you want a big purchase?
I'm looking for something with profit in it.
What about something like this?
This is a lovely gentleman's case.
Yeah.
These are silver, silver topped.
PAUL: Mm-hm.
Here, this has got the original... PAUL: Yeah.
LINDA: ..inkwells.
PAUL: Yeah.
SHAUN: Wow.
That's the original.
That's incredible.
VO: This stylish and ingenious Edwardian gentlemen's case was designed with compartments to contain all a gent may need on his travels from toiletry bottles to some boot hooks to help you get your boots on.
I can do that probably for, let me see, em, 130.
PAUL: What does your heart tell you about that?
I think it's a beautiful thing and I can see why somebody would want it.
LINDA: And it's just in a fabulous leather case.
So you've got some really nice... For me to sleep easy, it'd have to be 80.
You see, it's got to make 100 under the hammer, and that's what it might do at auction.
I think if you shook my hand at 90 then we'd have a deal.
Over to you, boss.
Yeah, I'd, I'd, I'd like to buy it at 90.
Think we've a deal.
Thank you very much.
Smiles all round.
Thanks Linda.
VO: £90 for the travel case and now Linda's got a handle on her customers' tastes.
LINDA: Following the sort of gentleman's route, how about something like this?
I've got a weakness for...
These actually work.
Gentlemen's spectacles.
19th century, ring terminals, telescopic arms.
Come on big man.
Good evening, viewers.
(ALL LAUGH) VO: The boys are keen to make spectacles of themselves and Linda has a few more for them to try.
LINDA: So, I've got these.
And then if you are into Will.I.Am... Then, em... look at those.
VO: I'm not sure who this Will.I.Am is but I can tell you these glasses were designed for shooting.
PAUL: What can the three sets of spectacles be?
How about £55?
You're gonna shake my hand on that.
You really are.
VO: Paul not haggling?
Is that some kind of mind trick Linda has just pulled?
They've still got money to spend though, so can he get his haggling mojo back on some other items?
PAUL: That is rather a pleasing decanter.
It's the silver collar that does it for me.
It has a problem.
And it's this.
Blooming, and that's actually there forever.
Oh, really?
It's a chemical reaction.
It's not dust.
VO: Blooming is a discoloration which can occur on the inside surface of decanters and it becomes invisible when the glass has water in it.
Which Linda is just about to help demonstrate.
And as if by magic.
Dad-da-da!
Tell me it worked.
There you go.
Look at that.
Et voila.
Wow.
It did.
What a transformation.
What do you think of that?
All gone.
Extraordinary.
Price went up again.
Eh, I have no idea what I've got on this.
85.
So, I think, em... 60.
I'm gonna haggle on this one.
I didn't with the glasses.
Oh.
I am.
Em...
I'm going to offer you 40 quid.
Hm.
50?
I'd be happy paying 50 for it.
Lovely.
Very silly.
There you go Linda.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
VO: So with the temporarily blemish-free decanter for £50...
There you go, there's that... Lovely.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much indeed.
VO: ..that means the boys have given Linda £195 in total, leaving £65 for the final item.
Vicky and Mark are now all done shopping and as Vicky is a big fan of churches they've come 19 miles down the road to Ripon.
They're visiting one of the area's most stunning chapels, which has a tragic story behind its construction.
Christ the Consoler church was commissioned in 1871 by Lady Mary Vyner as a tribute to her son Frederick, who was kidnapped and killed by Greek bandits before a ransom could be paid.
The ransom money was then used to help build the church and here to explain more is Rosi Lister of the Churches Conservation Trust.
Freddy was 23.
He was at Oxford, he was a member of the Bullingdon club.
He was a very elegant young man, having the time of his life, and he went with quite a notable group of friends, including Lord and Lady Muncaster, across to Greece, as tourists and they were captured by Greek brigands, and held hostage.
Can I... Can I show you his picture?
Yes.
So, there he is.
VICKY: Oh, he looks very dapper.
Isn't he wonderful?
Wearing his sort of white linen summer suit.
VO: Freddy's mother, Lady Mary Vyner raised over a million pounds ransom in today's money.
But the story goes, political negotiations faltered, and Freddie also refused to be exchanged for a servant who offered to take his place.
ROSI: The really heartrending thing is that this was his last diary entry, so he was sitting there with his friends, knowing what was going to happen and he writes "we must trust to God that we may die bravely as Englishmen should do."
Gosh.
I'm gonna cry.
VO: So as a tribute to Lady Vyner's murdered son, the money was used to commission Cardiff Castle's architect William Burges, to build a chapel in the same Victorian High Gothic style.
The churchyard was designed by Burges as a memorial garden and dozens of weeping birches and willows surround it.
Even Freddy's old dog appears in the sculptures waiting for his master to return.
But it's inside the building that the real splendor of Burges's design appears.
The beauty of the church and the sadness of the story are proving too much for Vicky.
Hey, why are you being so weepy?
Don't know.
I just think it's lovely.
VO: Burges's design is full of visual references inspired by Freddy's fate.
VICKY: Do you think, you know, with it being birds and butterflies, that they're saying that he's free, that he's flown away?
I think, I think there is, that whole kind of nature and Heaven and otherworldliness, I think that's all... Yeah.
..to do with that.
And there is a message along here which is basically...the story is that it's in code and we are led to believe Lady Mary actually wanted to have it put here as a private message to her son, you know, the ultimate sort of goodbye from her.
Gosh.
Vicky, why are you so emotional in these churches?
I don't know.
It's not a religious thing at all.
I'm not religious.
I just feel, I mean, I know I might look sad, but I feel really happy.
I just love stained glass windows, I love the architecture, and the carvings and the stonemasonry.
I just find it so loving and this story is particularly... MARK: Poignant I think, because a young man in the prime of his life died.
VICKY: Yeah.
And, but then this is a lasting testimony to him, and it's wonderful that you are carrying on the work of protecting, keeping this open so that we can all come and look at it.
Thank you so much for showing us around.
Thank you very much for coming.
Thank you.
I'm really happy.
That's good.
I think.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Take care.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Bye bye.
Bye.
Aw.
VO: So there you are, a church that is both a colorful celebration of life and a testament to tragedy.
On that rather somber note, it's time for a gear change.
Let's see how Paul and Shaun are getting on.
SHAUN: Got the eh, the eh trunk, the spectacles and the decanter and d'you know what, I'm really... Really eh confident now.
Happy and confident.
We're on fire, Shaun, we're on fire.
Yeah, yeah.
VO: There's still time for another item, so it's 14 miles back up the road to Pannal and yes, Harrogate Antiques and David Wilding, again.
Here we go.
Last stop.
PAUL: No pressure.
SHAUN: No pressure.
Other than I expect you to find the next amazing buy.
Ah.
VO: And as the other team found out, a shop this big can be overwhelming.
But thankfully David is still on hand to help out.
It looks like a happy hunting ground, this, doesn't it?
It's a nice place.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's certainly plenty of stuff here.
We've got 65 quid to spend.
There's got to be something in here we can get for 65 that we can auction for 100.
You hear that?
What is it?
It's a clock ticking.
Thank you.
I think the time is right for Shaun to... ..put to good use the good training he's had over the last day and a half.
His apprenticeship is served.
I want something different.
I want something different from anything that we've got.
SHAUN: You can tell instantly with Paul if you've picked up something of interest and it's not a mean thing that these experts do, but you just instantly know that you've picked up a piece of old tat, really.
Collars.
Sorry?
I'll take that as a no.
Doesn't matter.
I'm interested in this, but I haven't got a clue what it is.
VO: Come on Shaun, you're an EastEnder - where's that Blitz spirit gone?
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
VO: Shaun's failed in his search so it's up to Paul to save the day.
Our military expert has spotted some crested china.
Dead in the water.
So, why am I telling you about these?
There's one area in particular that's picked up - military.
We've got the military thing here.
We're looking at... an artillery shell.
And they're really picking up in value.
I'm seeing some great results.
Now, granted, this isn't a rare...
This is entry level, it's not a rare thing.
Arguably military, just at a push, is a bell tent.
Yes?
That's the standard campaign tent of the British army for a century - the 19th.
Maybe we could put a little cluster together and squeeze something out of it.
VO: The owner of the china is David himself.
Sports fan Shaun has seen another small piece he'd like.
SHAUN: The Hambledon cricket jug.
VO: But Paul's not convinced.
Do we need the cricket?
Does that muddy the water?
Do we just go in and say two pieces of First World War period crested china, and that's it?
It's all about the military angle.
This muddies the water.
VO: David's going to help you make that decision.
If you buy those, you can have that free.
How much are those?
That's £8 and that's £5, free.
VO: That's a very generous offer David but can the boys squeeze any more out the deal?
£8 and for free.
It's up to you.
OK, well we'll go with that, then.
Thank you.
Thank you very much, sir.
Job done.
VO: That'll be a no then.
Thank you.
There's some money for you.
Get some change and thank you, there's the money.
Thank you.
Cheers.
VO: So that's three pieces of crested china for £8 and a freebie each for both teams.
That's Paul and Shaun now done for the day.
It's time to meet up with Vicky and Mark by the river for a reveal.
Right then.
Come on, let's have a look.
A double act?
Ready?
Ooh.
Oh.
VO: Mark doesn't exactly seem swept away.
Well, there's some job lots.
Job lots.
Ah.
You're gonna have to open this.
Shall I?
Shall we?
MARK: Please.
PAUL: Quick shufty?
MARK: Oh, good Lord.
Edwardian.
Yeah, absolutely.
Everything the traveling gentleman would need.
That pulls out, so... MARK: Oh, wonderful.
SHAUN: Free standing.
VICKY: Very impressed.
Expensive?
I don't think so.
What would be expensive?
I don't know.
Couple of hundred?
90.
Oh, well 90's alright, isn't it?
That's great, actually.
And your table.
No?
It does have a nice base, but if, I mean I think if you paid more than... ..more than 150 for it, you're struggling.
(PAUL LAUGHS) SHAUN: 140.
PAUL: 140.
Oh, so there might be a £10 profit in it.
And the other bits are quite fun.
VO: Paul and Shaun think they might have some profits in their sights but what do they think of the items Mark and Vicky have targeted?
I love...
I saw the leaded glass.
Yeah.
That is a gorgeous object, anywhere.
SHAUN: How much did you get off?
MARK: Well, actually we paid 80 for it.
Ooh.
I think it's a magic thing.
Em, I've got to ask, the Deco or Modern... Is that silver?
I would love to say they're silver.
You would be worrying.
You would be panicking.
I've been worrying.
No, they are very good quality plate.
I... Great style.
Great style, and I think there's a decorative arts theme in the sale as well, so maybe they'll fit in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's... Let's leave it there.
I think it's too close to call.
I don't know how you feel.
I...I...
VO: But how close are their overall spends?
SHAUN: £343.
Well done.
Waded in.
I take my hat off to you.
VO: Vicky and Mark didn't quite match that.
VICKY: £187.
PAUL: Jessies!
Oh!
Losers!
Paul... Paul Laidlaw, the next time I'm up against you I'm gonna remember that.
VO: Let's have some honest appraisals on the items then.
You, you, you sort of seemed to agree that they were all...
I am polite by nature.
..contenders.
Really?
Really?
I think that... You think that suitcase is gonna stitch us up?
Oh, that suitcase is... That is a real winner.
But I'm still pleased.
He loves your stained glass panel.
PAUL: The glass pane has got to do £100 to make anything, hasn't it?
I wouldnae swap!
How're you feeling now?
I feel great now.
Shall we go and get a cuppa?
VO: So at the end of day two, Vicky and Mark don't seem quite as confident as they did this morning.
With the reveals done both teams are now heading over 140 miles south to the halfway point between the Street and the Square.
You could even call it a crossroads - it's Birmingham.
PAUL: I tell you what's going to be the dazzler today.
It's the reaction.
Oh yes.
Vicky and John.
I think they're going to have a ball.
SHAUN: There's two of us walking in the auction house, only one walking out.
I mean, you know, if this was mediaeval times we'd have to have a duel.
Or you could nominate someone.
If you were a coward you could actually go up...
I nominate Mark.
Yeah, and I nominate Paul.
There you go.
Yeah, there you go.
It's gonna be a fabulous day.
I'm really looking forward to it, Paul.
Yeah, absolutely.
And may the best soap win.
VO: Today's auctioneers are Biddle & Webb who've been carrying out auctions in Birmingham since the late 50s.
Today's auctioneer is Liz Winnicott.
Good name.
Has she seen anything from our teams that she thinks might do some good business?
I think most of the items they have chosen are very good.
We really like the stained glass window item.
It is very pretty, it is very much in genre at the moment.
The suitcase is actually one of my personal favorite items.
I think it is good fun, I love the labels on the outside of it, giving it its provenance, where it has been, imagining where it has traveled around the world.
I think they generally, overall they have done well.
Possibly Paul Laidlaw may sneak a win.
VO: Obviously an EastEnders fan.
Good morning.
Hello.
Hello.
Let me, let me, let me help you.
Oh.
How are you doing?
Oh, you're such a gent, Mark.
I know.
I thought well I'd better show it on camera.
Shall we do this thing?
Shall we?
VO: So to recap, both teams started the trip with £400 and Team Williamson have spent a substantial £343 on five lots.
Team Entwhistle however, have hedged their bets.
They've spent a much smaller £187 - also buying five lots.
So with both teams well scrubbed up and phone and internet bidders ready to go, it's time for the battle of the soaps!
VO: The first item is Mark and Vicky's Meissen porcelain spoon tray.
Is it going to serve up a profit or stir up trouble?
Lovely thing.
Any interest at £30 then?
£30, who'll start me off at £30?
£20?
Any interest at £20?
Oh, I've got £20 on the internet.
Pay attention.
£20 on the internet.
22 anywhere?
I've got £20 on the internet.
£22 anywhere?
£20 on the internet will have it.
That was what you picked.
Ooh, thank you very much, Janice.
Have you seen her starting?
VO: Already the blame game has started.
It's only just broken even and when auction costs come off, it'll actually be a loss.
Not a great start, eh.
First up though for Shaun and Mark is their military and sporting trio of small china items.
But is three going to be their magic number?
Pretty little lot.
£15?
£15?
Who'll have a little bit of memorabilia for £15?
£10 then?
Five?
£5?
Who'll go for £5?
Our shell is bombing.
VO: Well, you'd know Paul, you're the military expert.
£5 at the back, thank you.
PAUL: Yes!
LIZ: £5 I have, £5.
OK. We're £3 behind you.
See, you laughed at me.
VO: Oh dear, that's an even worse start than Mark and Vicky.
Well the only way is up.
Is the Victorian hip flask from Birmingham going to raise the spirits of the locals?
£20 for this one, then.
Any interest at £20?
£10 then?
£10?
Keep you warm at night.
£10?
10, 12, I've got on the internet, now.
£12 on the internet.
You're up.
15 anywhere?
£12 I have.
Are we all done at £12?
15.
15 behind me.
15, take 15 against the internet now.
What?!
£15 behind me and I'll sell at £15.
Have you been bribing the staff?
What do you mean?
It's the staff bid for that.
VO: Well, staff are allowed to bid but it's hardly worth a bribe.
By the time the auction costs come off that fiver profit, Vicky and Mark won't have enough for a dash of soda.
Let's see if the Victorian decanter is worth raising a glass to.
£50 to go?
£50?
Any interest at £50?
£50 I have, thank you sir.
£50 I have, 55 anywhere?
£50 I have.
55.
55 on the internet it is then.
£55 on the internet and I will sell at 55, if we're all done at 55?
It's hard work this, Paul.
VO: Sadly the decanter hasn't performed any better than the flask.
They won't be toasting those items tonight.
Next for Vicky and Mark it's the bon-bon tray from Brum and the George V spoon brooch.
That bon-bon dish is your item.
I know.
Let's see.
There we go.
£20 for this little lot?
£20?
Any interest at 20?
20 I have, thank you.
22, 25, 28, 30?
What have you got to get?
£28 with you.
£28 there, looking for 30 now.
I have £28 against the Internet now, in the room.
She said "told you".
I said we paid...
I thought we paid 22.
VO: Another loss.
Not so much bon-bon as bad-bad.
Whatever happened to local interest, eh?
Next, it's the gentleman's traveling case.
The boys have high hopes of packing up a big profit on this one.
£80?
£80 I have.
£80 I have.
85 anywhere?
£80 I have.
85?
85 with you now, sir.
85 with you.
85, at the back of the room, and selling at £85 then.
The only consolation that we have got is that it is happening to us both.
Yeah.
VO: It's left luggage for Paul and Shaun, but a great bargain for the buyer, eh?
Right, come on.
Surely the lovely three-piece art deco tea set has got to make some money.
£40 for this one?
£40?
Any interest at 40?
£40 for the tea set?
£30 then?
Who'll give me £30?
It's art deco, it's stylish.
£30?
20 then?
£20?
Take you at... £20 I have on the internet, thank you.
£20, 22 now on the internet.
£22 on the internet.
25?
I've got 22 on the internet.
And I'll sell at £22.
If we're all done?
I need a bloody mary!
VO: I don't know about a bloody mary.
Anyway, that's the biggest loss of the day so far.
Both teams are in desperate need of some profit now.
Paul and Shaun are aiming for a profit with the shooting spectacles and two sets of Georgian glasses.
It's our glasses now.
Here we go.
Come on.
£40?
Any interest at 40?
£40, a bit of social history?
40?
30?
£30?
£30 I have.
32 anywhere?
32, 35, 38, 40, 42, 45, 48.
Come on, come on.
Finished now at £45?
VO: Well they didn't see that coming.
Is anything from our teams going to get these Brummie bidders biting?
Last for Vicky and Mark is the Pre-Raphaelite stained glass panel of a wintry lady.
Can it freeze their losses?
I'm gonna start this one at... £120.
120, looking for 130.
I've got 120.
130, 140, 150, 160... VO: That's more like it - straight in at 120 and shooting up the numbers.
£180 on commission.
Looking for 190 now.
I've got 180.
190 at the back.
200 still with me.
Music to my ears.
220 sir?
200 still with me.
£200, still with me then on commission.
Are we all done?
Well done.
I'm so glad I found that.
You can get lost.
I found that.
VO: Ah, united in victory as well as defeat.
That stunning profit has shot Mark and Vicky into the lead.
Well done, begrudgingly.
Yeah, but... Don't thank him, it's me.
VO: By my calculations Mark and Shaun's turn-over table need to make about £150 profit to turn the tables on Vicky and Mark.
What shall we start at £300?
Any interest at £300?
250 to start?
250?
Any interest at 250?
200 then?
VO: Oh dear, those numbers should be going up the other way.
150?
Shall we go 150?
£150 I have.
£150 I have.
160, 170?
180?
Now we're rocking.
LIZ: 190?
SHAUN: Come on.
LIZ: 200?
SHAUN: Build it.
No.
190 next to me.
200 anywhere before I sell at £190?
VO: Is that too little, too late?
It's a profit.
Well, you made a jolly good profit, which I didn't think you were going to.
Well done.
Does this mean we've won?
VO: Allow me, Vicky.
Both teams started today with a fighting fund of £400.
Shaun and Paul spent nearly all of it and made a loss, after auction fees, of £31.40, leaving them with a grand total of £368.60.
The more cautious Vicky and Mark spent less than half theirs.
But that great profit on the stained glass meant that after auction costs they made an overall profit of £46.70, leaving them, and Coronation Street, the battle of the soap winners on £446.70.
SHAUN: Right.
That was emotionally draining.
It was exhau...
I'm exhausted, actually.
I'm on a bit of a high, I'd say.
You're feeling... We were so close.
I've got every admiration for you and your skills.
I think we had a lot of bad luck there.
No, do you know what I think?
We've had a hard, tough time, haven't we with these two?
Oh, it's been...
Darling it's been awful.
And with my profits I'll take you for lunch.
VO: What Vicky means to say is that all profits will of course be going to Children In Need.
See you later.
See you later.
VO: So they'll be toasting victory in the Rovers Return and drowning their sorrows in the Queen Vic tonight.
Me?
I'll be down the Woolpack.
See you next time - ta ra!
