NARRATOR: The nation's favorite celebrities-- I like surprises. VO: ..paired up with an expert... I got excited then! Ooh! VO: ..whoopsie! And a classic car. BOTH: Here we go! (CAR BACKFIRES) Wowzer! VO: Their mission? To scour Britain for antiques. Am I on safari? (WHISTLE BLOWS) VO: The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction. (GASPS) VO: But it's no easy ride. Oh, dear! VO: Who will find a hidden gem? (NEIGHS) VO: Who will take the biggest risk? (LAUGHS) VO: Will anybody follow expert advice? I hate it. VO: There will be worthy winners... (LAUGHS) VO: ..and valiant losers. Double drat! Oh, no! VO: Put your pedal to the metal... Spend, spend, spend. VO: This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip! VO: Yee-ha! (HONKS HORN) Yay! Woo! VO: Today we are road tripping with actresses Helen Flanagan and Jorgie Porter, in bonnie Scotland. JORGIE: Oh, that's beautiful! HELEN: That is so beautiful! BOTH: Wow! That is gorgeous. Wow. That would be perfect for a picture. We need to stop every so often for selfies because these backdrops are incredible. I know! VO: L-O-L, eh? Ha ha ha. This pretty as a picture pair have starred in some of Britain's favorite soap operas, with Helen appearing in long-running favorite Coronation Street since the age of nine. Currently she is busy with some youngsters of her own, how sweet! But today the only thing she has to nurse is this Mercedes SL 300. I love how they've trusted me, though, to drive this car. I know! JORGIE: I think I am quite a good driver. HELEN: Yeah? HELEN: I remember when I was younger my driving examiner was like, "I think you just need to drive an automatic". JORGIE: They don't let us drive this long in soaps, it's illegal. VO: Oh, the drama! Jorgie is currently starring in Fame the Musical. But she is best known for her eight-year role in Hollyoaks as Theresa McQueen. And that's not the end of her talents. HELEN: So babe, do you know much about antiques? JORGIE: I'll tell you a secret, actually. My grandma used to collect a lot of antiques. So I'm actually quite, probably, a secret expert. HELEN: So you know what I would love to find, babe, like some beautiful, like, Chanel, or like, Dior, antique handbag. That would be amazing. Very wise. What would you say makes something antique, like? Old? VO: Well, while we're on the subject of old treasures... let's meet our experts Phil Serrell and James Braxton. Well here we are in bonny Scotland, James. Aye! Are you feeling bonny? Aye! You want to knock that on the head, you'll get locked up. Aye! (LAUGHS) PHILIP SERRELL (PS): So what do they make malt whisky out of? I think it's malted barley and water, isn't it? VO: Wee drams are for later, you two, as James is behind the wheel of a 1970s TR6, driving to meet our celebs. JAMES: I think I may have seen them both on I'm A Celebrity. We should go on that. JAMES: We'd lose weight, for a start. PHIL: We'd lose about 10... "I'm an antiquarian, get me out of here!" VO: Oh dear, oh dear. HELEN: I think, I think they'll help us. We need help, don't we? I think it'll be fun. Yeah. I wonder if they could like, cope with us, though? I think they'll have enough of us, to be honest. Do you think we'll have our faces up in shops, like antiques shops, "Do not let these women in!" VO: Oh dear! Ha ha. Before this trip kicks off, and in the shadow of the mighty Forth bridges, let's get them paired up. Phil Serrell Goodness me. PHIL: Hello, lovely. JORGIE: Did we roll back? JAMES: Hello, look at you. Lovely... JORGIE: Hello, nice to meet you. PHIL: Yeah, you too. VO: Helen will pair with Phil in the Mercedes, and Jorgie and James will team up with the TR6. Who's gonna win this? I'm gonna win, Jorgie, sorry. I mean, I hope we do win, but I mean... JAMES: We'll just buy quirky not kooky. JORGIE: Yeah. We're gonna buy style, aren't we? Yeah, we're gonna find... PHIL: Absolutely right. ..the antique handbag. JAMES: Handbags are big, aren't they? This could be handbags at dawn, couldn't it? JAMES: It could. Shall we go shopping? Yeah, let's do it. The good news is we've got this car. Come on. JORGIE: Leaving, we're leaving. You're driving, aren't you? VO: And they're off! How's this car going, you getting on with it? This is a cool car to drive. It's a very cool car, isn't it? Yeah, I really really like it. I had the roof down before, but I didn't want to get my blow-dry all messed up. No, well you and me both. Might blow... might blow this off. This is the first time I've ever ventured out of a theater in Scotland, actually. But to be honest, they're the loudest audiences we've had, the Scottish. Are they? Yeah, they're incredible. It's been a year on tour. We go to the West End, which has been my dream since I was a kid. Oh, fabulous. Yeah. Now I need a new dream. Well, have you got a favorite period in history? I've actually always been really interested in history. It was my favorite subject at school. I do find everything about like, World War II really fascinating. The 50s. Any kind of history, I do find interesting. 50s. I was born in the 50s, Helen. JAMES: Do you collect antiques? Actually, my grandma always used to take us to car boot sales... Yeah. ..and antique fairs. But I'd always want, eh, beanie babies. Beanie babies? Yeah. But I don't think they'd make much money now. They're not worth a thing? That's... Sorry. ..that's all my pocket... That's been all my pocket money for months and months. Oh, dear. Maybe they'll have their day one day. Yeah, I've got like 150 of them. Really? They've got to be worth something. You've... you've gone long on beanies. Yeah! VO: Ha ha! VO: They are all heading for auction in Kinbuck, Stirlingshire. But we start this antique search in the town of Inverkeithing in Fife. This is the antique shop. Here we are. See, browsers welcome. We're not browsers, though. We are buyers! We are buyers. VO: Jorgie and James have arrived at Flemings Furniture and Antique Centre, with £400 to spend. JORGIE: I have no idea what to expect. Yeah, there will be lots of old things. JORGIE: Yeah. Show me your old things, immediately. VO: He's an old hand at this. VO: There's lots to see. Jorgie? She's on the lookout. My grandma had one of these, nutcracker. Brass, I think. I think that was an expertise word. "I think it's brass". And it... it's a nutcracker, obviously, for obvious reasons. Oops. Oh! Oh yeah, you really get them nuts in. JAMES: I like this. JORGIE: Ah! Nice compass. JORGIE: Yeah. JAMES: Glasgow, the Clyde. Responsible, what was it? In the year 1900... Mm. ..something like 85, or 90% of the world's ships are being made on the Clyde. Wow! VO: Well, it was actually around one fifth, but still a staggering amount! Now, could it still navigate you there? Yeah, not bad, eh? Look, north's there. North's there. Yeah, it definitely works. Would people carry that around? I mean, it's just a collector, innit? Well no, it's a collector. But you're getting quite a lot for your money. You've got a gimballed compass, its box. People like nautical stuff. Yeah. And actually it's an opportunity for haggling. 65 quid. JORGIE: I could practice haggling. OK, you could practice haggling. VO: Yeah, this 1920s compass was made by Glasgow company Simpson Lawrence, who starting making nautical equipment in 1893. And you could find your way. Find your way, go on, head south. Go for the sun, go for the sun. VO: Now, where on earth are our other pair? VO: Ah! Ha! Pit stop! Or lippo stop? Look at that, that's a work of art isn't it? Look at that girl go. You'll have to do mine later, kid. Right, there we go. VO: Finally, they are on their way to the town of Dunfermline in Fife. Oh look, there's the shop there. Oh yeah. VO: Yeah, here we are, visiting The Secret Door. Shh! Shh! Quiet. You know you said vintage handbag? How about that, look? Is that... Yeah, no, I don't think that's quite me. I don't think we've found the one yet. The look says it all, doesn't it? PHIL: That's not Fendi. That's more like "offendi". Right, I think I know my place. Swiftly moving on. VO: Dear oh dear! Ha. I really love this trunk. You see, my house is quite modern, but I think this would look amazing, I love it. Yeah. It's gorgeous, isn't it? I like that. As like, a cool coffee table. What makes it nice is the labels on it, isn't it? Lift that suitcase up. You want to make sure there's not a great big hole underneath the suitcase, or something. Good if we could find a Louis Vuitton one. Eh, yeah. I don't think it's bad that it's scratched, I think it looks really cool. This is only 60 quid. Yeah, we'd like to try and buy that for 35 or 40, £40 really. Wouldn't we? Hmm. Leave that to me. You do the... I think you might have to do the haggling. ..you do the choosing, and I'll... you do the choosing and I'll do the dealing. But I think we should have a look round, see what else we can see. Do you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. VO: And doon in Inverkeithing? (SQUEAKING) VO: Lordy. What's that? James? Yeah. What's happening? I'm on my loom. Oh! It's a loom, it's a spinning wheel, isn't it? Ah, ace. You're, you're the top dancer, you'll be able to... Oh! One leg'll be bigger than the other. I'll walk around in circles. How much was that? Eh, £120. You're joking, are you? I... I... Do you want that? No. No, I don't want that. Sick! James! Yup? What have you found there? I found a really cool cane. That looks a weapon. Yeah. What is it? I think it's a walking stick. Yeah. I think it's a sort of band leader's thing. Premier is the big drum maker, isn't it? Ah, cool. Don't they march? Don't they go like... They're sort of like that... Oh! OK. Like that. Give it some. You've got the rhythm. I could have a... I could have a new walk. You're the dancer. I could have a new walk with this. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. Brass band, and off we go. Do-do-do. There we are. Hm! VO: Honestly, whatever next!? VO: Well, march straight up to that till and find out the price of that mace. Very nice, it has a lovely... Oh, ow. Lovely rhythm to this. VO: Dealer Carol is at the ready. Poor love. JAMES: We found two items. We like the compass, don't we? JORGIE: Mm, yeah we do, we do. And we like the mace. We love the mace! How much is that? 95. 95! That's a lot, isn't it? Only Beyoncé could afford that. Beyoncé would love this. VO: Yeah. And the compass is priced at 65. Perhaps Carol can do a deal for both. We could do that one for 70, and the compass for 50. That's a-macing. A-macing. That is... Oh, very good. Very good. Give the lady the cash. Go on... Oh, Carol! Make her day. This is great. VO: At 120 for the two... CAROL: Thank you. VO: ..our first pair are off the mark, with 280 still in their pocket. JAMES: Off we go. VO: Back in Dunfermline, Helen has spotted something her football fiancé would approve of. Oh, this is cool. What's that, then? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, because you know that I have a... a strong connection with Celtic. Yeah. They were the first British side to win the European cup, weren't they? I think about 1967. HELEN: Well, I know that Celtic's got a huge history. Green and white hooped shirts, aren't they, Celtic? Yeah. Ah, that's lovely. I think we're getting a message from above, here, you know, Helen. We're getting divine guidance. What we've got is a Subbuteo table football game, which is a bit like tiddlywinks on a baize cloth, where you use your fingers to flick the footie teams around. You could buy football teams for all over the world, you know. And clearly, England and Brazil, who were the great teams of the 60s and 70s, you know, I think those teams are fairly common. Some of these team sets, the rarer ones, can be worth an awful lot of money. Whether these are or not, I've no idea. VO: Subbuteo was created in the 1940s. There have been more than 700 strips made, and at peak popularity over 300,000 miniature teams were sold each year. So you've got some programs here, and... and all sorts of football memorabilia. But I think we should try and buy all of that lot there. What do you think? HELEN: Yeah, no, I agree. Do you think this'll make money? Well it depends how much the price is, but yeah. You're gonna have to smile, and charm, and flash those lovely eyes at him. Come on, let's go and see what we can do. VO: The collection of football memorabilia is priced at £60, as is the vintage trunk. Time to chat with dealer Stuart. I could do the two for 90. That sounds pretty good. No! Shh! What about 85, Stuart, is that alright? 85, yeah go on then. You're a gentleman. Shake his hand quick. Thanks very much, thank you. STAURT: Thank you. He's a scholar, isn't he? VO: So that's 45 for the football set and 40 for the trunk. Leaving them 315 still to spend. VO: Now, how are our other pair? How do you find the car, Jorgie? I'm really, actually, getting used to this now. At first it was quite, like, scary, wasn't it? No, I'm... I'm totally unfazed. I think you're very good. Really? Yeah. Oh. I was holding my breath. I nearly passed out. Are you really old enough to drive? Yeah! I'm really old. I'm... Ooh! Oh, God! Oh, pretend that didn't happen. VO: They are heading north to Falkland, a small village in the Kingdom of Fife. Where they are going to discover more about a sport which was imported to this part of Scotland from France. And went on to influence a game which has taken the modern world by storm. VO: They've arrived at Falkland Palace and Garden... We're at a palace! I didn't know it was a palace. It's a palace. VO: ..where duty manager Dr Katy Jack is here to tell them more about this royal venue, and its unlikely connection to a sport of kings. Katy, what is this place? It's a royal hunting lodge. It was used by the Stuart monarchy to come and relax, really. There was a castle here first, that was used by the earls of Fife up until 1425 when the Stuarts took the land, and they decided, "we don't need a castle, what we need is somewhere that we can come and relax, and put our feet up, get away from court life". And that's what this place really became for them. It's a remarkable building. It looks almost continental. Absolutely, it's got this distinctive French feel to it. And I think the reason for that really, is James IV and his son James V. They had close ties to France, particularly James V, who had two French wives. And really, you can feel that influence here, in the palace. You see it in the architecture. And it's one of these finest surviving examples of renaissance architecture that we have in Britain today. And a lot of that owes to his wives. So it's a lady's touch really, isn't it? Absolutely. VO: James V's second wife, Mary of Guise, had a huge influence on the design, as she arranged for a group of masons from France to assist in the building work. And their daughter, Mary Queen of Scots, was said to be enchanted by the place. She finds a lot of comfort here when she comes back to Scotland in 1560. You know, she'd spent the majority of her childhood really in France. Yeah. And I think having to come here to a place that she'd been away from for so long, you know, it's... it's unknown to her really. Yeah. But this provides some comfort, for it's like the chateaus that she's used to spending time in France. It's pretty, yeah. So this is just a second home for her, really. VO: Her appreciation for the palace may also be down to her love of the outdoors and sport. And she played a game known as the sport of kings, right here on this very spot. The 480-year-old real tennis court is still in use today. Look at this, what a place, isn't it? Oh, wow. This is our real tennis court. So built in 1539 for James V. Tennis, it's undoubtedly originating in France. Even that word tennis, obviously it comes from "tenez", which is "take heed". So it's really the word that you shout as a server to the receiver. You can almost imagine Mary Queen of Scots screaming it across the court as she's... JAMES: Yeah. ..just about to serve. A really popular game, you know, in Europe at the time. And that's why I think you see it come over here to Scotland, and it really takes hold. JAMES: And this is the oldest one in the country, is it? Yes, the oldest one that's still in use, certainly. It seems quite dangerous. It's made of cement! JAMES: Made of stone! Are we still able to play on it? Absolutely, yes. VO: There are tales of Mary Queen of Scots playing here in breeches, fancy that! Luckily, these two have brought their tennis whites. JAMES: Ah, you look the part. Oh, so do you, James! You look great. Hey, look at this. Hi. Hello. VO: Ewan Lee from the Royal Tennis Club is here to explain more about the game. Real tennis is a very very old rackets game, which has been played for over 600 years. And it's much older, obviously, than lawn tennis. Now, as you look around the court, the only comparison is the net. Yeah. Apart from that, it's quite a different game. Starting with the rackets. If you look at the real tennis racket, it's not straight. And the reason why it's got this shape is because it's supposed to represent the palm. And that takes us back to 12th century France, where the game was called le jeu de paume. Wow. Then there's the ball. That's what the ball looks like inside. That's the core. Yeah. Corks. Champagne corks, of course... JAMES: Really? ..are ground up, and wrapped in wadding, and stitched. And that is the end product. JORGIE: So what are the rules? If I were to explain all the rules, I would probably need about two years... Really? ..so shall we just play, and see what happens? Yeah, lovely. EWAN: Good! JORGIE: OK. VO: This should be good. Strawberry, anyone? You need to anticipate the ball coming up over what's called the service penthouse. Over the... the roof? The roof. And it has to bounce over the red line there. And you can hit it back, over the net, anywhere you like. It's just do what you want, really. Well, shall we see? Yeah! Let's go for it. That's it. JORGIE: Wow! EWAN: That's fine. Yes, come on! Tenez! Oh, well done. Yes! JAMES: No! EWAN: Great. Now, it bounced twice on the line six. So you would say, "chase six yards". And we would come back to that later. Blimey. VO: I think this is going right over James' head... Yes! VO: ..like most of the balls. What are the holes in the wall? The holes in the wall are called lunes. Now if you hit the ball through the hole, you win a point. VO: Blimey. Huh! Lawn tennis, which was derived from real tennis in the 1870s, was a more accessible game and quickly surpassed its predecessor in popularity. But real, or royal, tennis is still enjoyed today, and I wonder how our two will fare against hot shot Ewan? Oh yeah, high five. Yes. Yo, girl! Oh! VO: Careful, he's not cheap. You. Ah! No! Well done. Well played, Jorgie. Thank you. Well played. Thank you very much. Ewan, thank you very much indeed. Thank you, well played. Yes! We won! Yes! Oh, come on. VO: Back with Helen and Phil. How did you actually get into Coronation Street? I just went to like, um... like, a drama class after school that my mum used to take me to. And then you'd have, like, auditions, I was just... just lucky, really. I would really like to see Rosie, though, be a mum. Calmed down and settled? There's got to be a little bit of Helen in Rosie, hasn't there? Hmm, little bit. And there's got to be a bit of Rosie in Helen? A little bit, yeah. Just a little bit. Yeah. Not too much. Only the good bits, only the good bits. Only the good bits, yeah. Yeah, only the good bits. VO: They are on their way to Alva, a small town in Clackmannanshire. It's quite fun, isn't it? It's nice actually looking round the shops. I wasn't very good at haggling, was I? This is tough for me, right, but I can play the miserable old man role. VO: He's certainly good at that. VO: Here they're visiting Alva Antiques and Collectables. VO: They have £315 to spend. And Phil is using his head. It really suits you, actually. You look like a police officer. Just like that. Aw Phil, these are lovely. VO: Helen has sniffed out a mini perfume holder set. They're quite sweet, aren't they? Oh, they're so lovely. How old do you think these are? I think they're pretty much brand new, possibly. They look really old though, don't they? Yeah, so do I. £12. £12. And you... you don't think they're an antique? Oh, absolutely not. But that doesn't necessarily mean that someone might not give more than 12... I'm very happy if you want to buy those. Very very happy. Maybe I'll find something else. Shall we have a think about it? Yeah. VO: What else is there to dwell on? Helen, have a look at this. You see I think this is really cool. Now you've got two little girls, haven't you? Yeah, no, I would never let them play with that. Really? No! I've watched too many scary films. Like... It could be, like, haunted, or something. I wouldn't... See, it's got all the bits in there. Da-da-da-da. Is there someone creepy coming down the stairs? Oh come on, I was only joking! I think we should keep on looking. Like, let's see what else we can find. That'll be a no, then. VO: Yes, Phil, best leave her to it. I think Helen's doing a really good job, here. And I think she's learning a lot from me. You know, you have got to try and have a deal. Otherwise, I mean, you know... we've got to try and win. Oh, this is nice, I don't know if it is old though. VO: It's modern, actually, made in Venetian style. Bellissima! Like, I would actually have this in my house, so I do really really like it. It's £18, that's nothing. You know, I'm sorry, I'm not doing this haggling thing. I'm just gonna buy it, like, £18 is nothing. Phil said buy with your heart, so that's exactly what I'm gonna do. VO: You spoke too soon, Serrell! It'll be an easy shift for dealer Tom. Hi! Hi there. I really love this vase. So is it £18? £18 it is, yes. And keep the change. Result, thank you very much! Thank you! VO: That a girl! Bye! Thanks a lot. VO: Phil will be pleased. I've been looking for you. Oh, I bought something. You bought something? Oh, that's cool, I really really like that. What was the ticket price? Eh, it was £18, but I gave him 20. He was a really nice guy. He was really nice. Right. VO: Don't worry, Phil, you still have 295 left for tomorrow. VO: And that is shopping done for the day. That has been a day. What a day. And then tomorrow... Oh! ..just really more of the same. Game head on. Concentrate. And be great. Be better. Be better! Yeah. Well, have you enjoyed today? No, I have really enjoyed today. And I'm excited. I think it's time to hit the hotel, and rest up for the challenges ahead tomorrow! VO: Sleep tight, you lot! VO: Rise and shine, it's a brand new day! And we are back on the road with our soap star lovelies. HELEN: It was interesting, though. Like, I did actually, like, spot some, like, interesting things. Did you find anything? Do we say that yet? Did you find anything? I don't know if we're allowed to tell each other. Oh no, is it a secret? I don't know, are we allowed? Oh. The thing I kind of found is a bit out there. I feel like Beyoncé would have one. Really? Yeah. So if somebody says to me, "Oh, this is £20" in a shop, it almost feels rude, doesn't it, to go, "Oh you know, give it me for £10", doesn't it? Like, it just feels really uncomfortable. It was a really fun day. We played some tennis. You played tennis? Yeah. I wonder if I'll play tennis today. Are you gonna play tennis? I don't know, I'm not very good at tennis! I'm not very good at finding antiques, haggling, or tennis! VO: Ha ha! And what's the chat in the TR6 this morning? This area, Perth. We're on the banks of the Tay, here. It's gorgeous, isn't it? Isn't it lovely? Do you own much of the Tay? No I don't. Tide lines. I've never fished the Tay. Have you not? Have you fished it? No. And so, what did you buy yesterday? Anything good? Anything good? Winners? Huh! Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Really? Oh yes, yes. I'm really excited to see what you've got. I know, I'm very intrigued by yours. You shouldn't be, it's ridiculous. I can't wait to see what you've bought! Oh my... That is so funny. VO: Well, wait no more, as it's time for a quick show and tell. There we are. Morning! Hello. Morning, girls. BOTH: Hi! How are you, lovely? Good, how are you? You chipper? How's your tennis elbow? Yeah, fine! Yeah? I feel really good, how are you? Good. Come on James, show us what you've got. What on earth is that? Jorgie, what is that?! Voila! And voila! Oh, I like that. North is that way, isn't it? Is it? Well it is, according to that. It's totally accurate. Well then must be, yeah. It's made in Glasgow. What did you pay for that? 50. He's gonna say something. What is that? It's a mace. I just thought it was like a really fancy walking stick. But it's actually like... You know with the bands. Brass bands, when they start... Oh, that is cool! It's cool, innit? That is cool. Cool. 70 quid. All the best. We got it down as well, didn't we? Yeah, we did. It was a lot more. It was a lot more. VO: Yes, their hard bargaining means they have £280 still to spend. Anyway, stop being rude about our items. Come and look at quality. Let's go up, we want to be rude about yours. Look at quality. No no no, this is quality. There we are look. Look, what's that? Oh! Subbuteo! JAMES: Subbuteo. JORGIE: Oh, that is like old school, innit? JAMES: Really? They were priced at 65, and we got them for 45. JAMES: What's that? PHIL: It's a piece of art glass. JAMES: Is it? Oh, what was the price tag on that? What was the price ticket? Oh... It was £18. Yeah. Is that all? Why don't you ask what we gave them for it? I just gave him £20. You gave extra money! JAMES: That's nice, isn't it? You're spreading happiness and love. But Phil, is that your, like, haggling tactics? To give them more money? It's a novel approach. It is a novel approach. It's a novel approach. VO: Helen and Phil also bought that vintage trunk. It's gorgeous, isn't it? I like that. VO: And they have 295 for today. JAMES: Er... Ooh, yeah, uh-huh! Phil, yeah, you love it, yeah! Whoop whoop! Yeah yeah! Ooh! I'm gonna get in the car. JAMES: Right, come on. PHIL: I'm going. I'm going. Are we off? You're off. Woo woo! Woo! VO: Right, let's get back on the road. Do you really like that mace? Yeah, it's cool. I like that. Why? I just think it's quite cool, like, for like dancing. It's like a broom handle. Oh no, I like it. I think it's cuz it's girly as well. Like, you know. Well, lord above. I quite like it. I give up. I'd rather have what we've got than what they've got. I mean, I do like ours better. Oh! But... Oh, you're allowed to say that. Yeah? Course you are. Helen, giving a little tip to the dealer. Have a coffee on me. She's so generous! But... Yeah, yeah. ..I don't think that's tactical. No. So, do you reckon you'll get into antiques now, Helen? I think I've got a bit more knowledge about things. Well, you've been working with an antique. Maybe you teach me to be a bit more competitive. I mean, you did in tennis. Take heed! Take heed! Take heed! Take heed with ye heid! Heid! VO: I think they may have lost their heids here. Ha! VO: To start the day's shopping, Jorgie and James are heading to the city of Perth. Nicknamed the fair city, so no cheating you two! VO: Here they're visiting Vectran Vintage Antiques. Hey, isn't this lovely? This is nice. VO: Yeah. But on what to spend their £280, I ask? We've got this, like, a magazine stand, here. Yeah. But that's quite fun, because you've got... It's useful. It's useful. And you've got two elements to it. You've got the, sort of, the oak, you've got the wood. Yeah. But then you've got the gilt brass... I like brass. ..which is quite flashy. I'm into brass, and shiny things. Yes, it's bling. Yeah, bling. VO: One to store for now. Moving on... Oh, how gorgeous. Don't break it. Just gonna hold it. This is pretty. Oh! People need to walk around more with these, I think. VO: There is no price tag on this 1950s handmade wax paper parasol from Hong Kong. I really like this. This is cool! I've actually got flamingo wallpaper at home. It's 65 quid! I'm gonna ask Gordon if he does it for 20 quid. Worth a try, innit? VO: Time to take "stork". I like that magazine rack downstairs. Do ya? Do ya, yeah? I like the bling of it. Yes. What do you like? I like the parasol. Why don't you get the parasol? Oh yeah, OK. And we'll do battle with Gordon. OK, good. La, la, la, la, la. What... what... what's that you've got there? Eh, it's flamingos. Flamingos. Do you think it's gonna make money? Is that... I think I just like it. You like it? OK, well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. OK. VO: Well, the items are racking up. The Edwardian magazine stand is priced at £110. Gordon? What... what could that be? Can it be bought for under 75, then? Like, 60? Could I squeeze you to 70? Or 65? I think 65 can do it. Oh, yeah! Gordon is my favorite, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! VO: Good man, but what about Jorgie's favorites - the parasol and the flamingos? Why don't we do the flamingos and the parasol, which wasn't priced... Oh, which wasn't priced. ..for £30? Oh, go on, get your money out. Now that's something you can't refuse. Yay! VO: I say! That's 65 for the magazine stand, and 30 for the flamingos and parasol. Leaving them with £185 for a final splurge. Whoa! Are you pleased? Very happy. VO: Meanwhile, Helen and Phil are just south of Perth on their way to the small hamlet of Craigend. You live in Scotland now, don't you? But you're a Bolton lass, aren't you? Yes, I do. So, my fiancé plays for Celtic. Yeah. And I love living in Glasgow. We've lived here for three years. I absolutely love Scotland. And Scotland's got a great tradition of sport, hasn't it? Mm, yeah. VO: Well, they're on their way to learn about another Scottish tradition - the kilt. Do you know anything about kilts? Not really. Have you ever worn a kilt? Not really. But I'm quite fascinated by Scottish history. Yeah. VO: Overlooking the beautiful Strathearn Valley is bespoke kilt makers, Askival of Strathearn. I'm Phil. How are you? I'm Marion. Hi, Phil. This is Helen. Hi, Marion, nice to meet you. Hi. I love your tartan. Oh, thank you! Thank you. VO: Owner Marion has been making kilts since she was 16, and she runs courses here at her workshop. HELEN: So how come kilts are important to Scottish culture? Well, the... the kilt is entrenched in Scottish culture. It was the everyday garb of the Highlander. They used it as a blanket, and they folded it to wear during the day. The first tartan that has been found was near Falkirk, here, and that was 300AD. Way, way, way back. Initially it used to be just folded round the body. It wasn't stitched. The stitched kilt came later. Shona, would mind just getting up and showing us how it was worn? VO: Shona here is modeling the Feileadh-mor, which is Gaelic for "big kilt", or "wrap". This is an example of the original kilt which was an untailored piece of long fabric, wrapped around the body and tied at the waist with material secured over the shoulder with a brooch. It was the ideal dress for the ever-changing Highland climate. But that isn't all the kilt had to weather. In the 18th century, the British government banned the kilt after the Jacobite rising. MARION: The British recognized what it did to the... the warriors. It just gave them courage and strength. They tried to get rid of all that, so they banned the tartan, the bagpipes, a lot of the culture. VO: The ban was in place for almost 36 years. But in 1782, it was finally lifted. Tartans, as I understand it, always relate to a clan? It doesn't always relate to a clan. They didn't call it the Campbell clan, or the Mackenzie clan in those days. It was only after the government allowed the tartan to come back to wear, that they decided they better collect the knowledge of the tartans, the patters. And so they wrote out to all the chieftains, to say, "Now, send us a sample of your clan tartan". And that's how they collected it and started building up a register again. I think somebody needs to try one on. And I think that should be Phil. Well... Have you got enough cloth? Yeah! Really? How much yardage do you need? Oh, I need a lot of yardage, an awful lot of yardage. You need to lay on your back, you know? Oh no... That's still bad, isn't it? Really? Sounds good to me. Really, this program's looking up all the time. Good. Come on, dear. Hello! We'll be back later. VO: Honestly, Serrell! Can't take him anywhere. Marion, are we having a picnic? You're going to have a lie down here, on this. I'm up for that. Yes. And so this is the belted plaid, or the Feileadh-mor. Right, put your bottom down, Phil. That's good. This is very pleasant. Well done you, well done. OK. Yeah. We're going to fold this over, and Helen, just bring it over this way. That's lovely. Be gentle with me, Helen. OK. Do I look like Mel Gibson? No, not quite. VO: Well, he may not be a Braveheart, but he's a braver man than me! Ready for this? Helen, hold the... Could you just hold these please, Helen? VO: Mm, good grief! And now he is a true Scotsman, he needs to find somewhere to store a wee dram. Now this is a sporran, OK? Yeah. And they were used for... That? Yes. Just putting things in, it was a bag. That's not quite one of your Bond Street handbags, is it? It's not my antique handbag Chanel or Dior, I was thinking. OK, we'll have that back. We'll have to keep looking. Yeah, keep looking. VO: Lovely. After the 18th century ban, the kilt had diminished in popularity. Kilts and tartan as we know it today is thanks to Sir Walter Scott, who was an advocate for its revival in the early 19th century. And it has evolved into the celebrated occasion-wear we know today. Makers like Marion are keeping the tradition alive, and she is teaching our two a basting stitch, regularly used in kilt making. I'd get my mum to do this for me! If I needed anything sewing for the girls I'd just get my mum to do it. "Oh, Mum!" Get her on speed-dial one, now. Yeah, my mum. Oh Lord, I've nearly lost the thread... thread here. You can see how the imagery of the back of the kilt changes, depending on how we're pleating it, to the focus of the pattern, we're pleating it. VO: Wow! How wonderful. HELEN: You know what? You have impressed me. Look at that! That is so good! I've done the... Look at mine! Look at that! Look. That is pitiful. I think I'd stay with this instead of your modeling. That's good! VO: I couldn't agree more, Helen! VO: For a last shopping spree, both teams are heading to the small village of Rait in Perthshire. But Jorgie and James have a headstart. What was your character called in Hollyoaks? I played Theresa McQueen. She was 15. Yeah. But I was 20, so a lot of people thought I actually was 15. Really? Very naughty. But far more fun to play, wasn't she? Yeah! Oh, really fun. I kissed all the boys in Hollyoaks, though! Did you? VO: I say! Well, time to embrace some more shopping, as they have arrived at Rait Antiques Centre. VO: They have £185 left to spend. James. Yeah. I think this is the ultimate... Do you like tapestries? Well, yeah! I think a lot of work goes into them. Also, my mum embroiders, like this. Does she? Yeah. So an antique one is exciting. I took the wrong route. Took the wrong route. Hold on. Oh, it's a... ..risky, risky situation... Yeah I've got it. Oh, be careful! So, why this tapestry? I love this. It feels quite homely to have, you know, a tapestry on the wall. This is not a tapestry. It's just printed onto cotton panel, here. But it feels... It's got quite a rough weave. So actually, when it's printed on, it looks like tapestry. Shall we find out the price? Yes! Let's pray for the tapestry... Pray for the tapestry! Goodness. Which way are you going? Here we are. Here you are. Goodness knows. I just... Are you going... Blimey, you are agile, you know. Well, it's like mission impossible, innit? I know. VO: And speaking of dangerous situations... You haven't seen my boxers anywhere, have you? No. No? Oh I just wondered, that was all. I think you probably left them. Did I? I thought it was a bit draughty. We're off to our last shop, now. How do you think we're going to do? The pressure's on, isn't it? Yeah. Pressure's really on. We've to find something. We can either make it or break it at this next place. VO: No breakages please! What about that tapestry? Bad news. What? £380. Oh, wow. No. It's too expensive. Yeah, OK. Oh. Well, that's life, isn't it? Put it down to experience. VO: Well, no time to hang around. The competition has arrived. We've got to just steal a march, here. JORGIE: Ooh, I like this. Isn't it lovely? Look at that Chinese dragon! Chinese dragon. This looks rubbish. Rubbish! They're straight in, there. I don't know! This looks rubbish! I feel like you've become the expert. James, your cap's older than... older than that. Is it? It probably is, isn't it? Yeah. But it's very heavy. Almost as heavy as you, Phil. Thanks, twiggy. Look at this, eh. Let's go and buy our stuff. Just leave. Bye! Bye. Bye. Enjoy. Bye. Bye, good luck. Yeah, break something! VO: What did I just say? This is a wonderful piece of furniture. This dates to about 1690, 1680. It's called William and Mary. And it's a cabinet on a stand. Have a look at the price. Wow. Wow! Oh my... £32,500?! We'll leave it be then, shall we? VO: Meanwhile, Jorgie and James have been hunting for something they like, and they're getting warmer, with this 1920s thermometer. Lovely. That would have been on the side of a shop. It would have been commissioned by Stephens' Inks. And it would have had a glass tube here, a big bulb. And it's a thermometer. These are quite relevant temperatures now. You know, we had sort of 37 here, and that's almost 100... 100 Fahrenheit. Yeah. It's about your size. Come on, you go over. VO: Well, what isn't petite is the price tag of £165. Dealer Ashley, incoming! It's the largest thermometer I've ever seen. Shame it doesn't work. It's a shame it's no thermometer, innit, yeah. JORGIE: What are you suggesting? So my best was 100, but... £80, absolute rock bottom. 80? 80. Would you throw in the hat? Couldn't throw in the hat. It's not mine to throw in. Let's give the lady the money. OK. VO: And their final deal is done, with 105 to spare. Bye bye. Hat! VO: Lovely. Thank you. VO: Back inside... Phil, look what I found. VO: ..what's Helen carrying? I've found this. I love it, it's stunning. Really? Yeah! I love pigeons. Have a look at this first. You love pigeons? How much is that? It's... How much is it? £20. I love it. I think... Come on Phil, it's not just all about you. It's about me as well. No, no. Absolutely right. We're a team, remember? I think it's a fiver. I think it's dreadful. Really think it's... I think we should buy it. Really? Yeah, I think we should. OK, so what do you want to buy? This is a tea caddy. OK. It dates to the end of the Georgian period. OK? And tea was very valuable. So to stop the servants from pinching it, you locked it up in little boxes. OK. And you would have had Indian tea in there, China tea in there, and the mixing bowl here. And you mix your India and China tea. That's quite cool. But what makes it really cool is that most of these are in mahogany, or in walnut. And this is in yew wood. OK? And you can tell it's made out of yew wood by that really rich grain, there. Now, that as a tea caddy, 15 years ago, was probably £300-500. OK. Today, tastes have changed. What's it worth? Dunno. VO: Well, we do know it is priced at 95. What else? I quite like this cuz it's... it's... it's a copy of a Georgian Charles chair. But I like this label here, can you read that, look? "J. Riddoch, wood craftsman. Arbuthnot, Kinkardineshire". VO: That label could make this a canny buy, as regional furniture is very collectable. It has a ticket price of 115. Nice little chance at the auction. Are you happy if we buy these two? Yeah, I'm really happy with them. Because we are a bonded team. Yeah, you know your knowledge. We are a bonded team, aren't we? We are Phil, yes! Right. We're definitely going to have that, aren't we? I don't know if I'm the best at antiques, Phil. Oh, you are. You're... This is... I don't think I'm very good. No, honestly! Andrew? VO: Oh dear! Time to call in dealer Andrew. Now that pigeon is not yours, is it? No. So, we're going to just give you the price ticket for that. Is that alright? That's lovely, thank you. Right, the bird has flown. VO: A bird in the hand, Phil. But what about the other two? Can I give you 100 quid for the two? 115 and you've got a deal. Go on, I'll shake your hand. You're a gentleman, thank you. There's 100, there's a 10, and there's the 15. VO: That's 20 for the bird, 55 for the tea caddy, and 60 for the chair. Leaving £160 in their purse. VO: And with that, the shopping is done. I think we've done good. I think we've got some strong items... Yes. ..and it's in the hands of another now. Oh, it's so nerve-wracking. It's scary, isn't it? Especially at the auction, you'll find... Oh, no! ..you'll have butterflies, you'll be anxious. Oh! I'm gonna scream, take heed! Take heed! And what's your lasting memory? Lasting memory is... Kilt? ..probably you in a kilt. Deffo probably you in a kilt. Yeah, absolutely. Are you sure you haven't seen my boxers? No, no I haven't. I haven't. VO: Keep sniffing. Sweet dreams. VO: Wakey wakey, the big day is here! And our gals are looking like a million dollars, hoping to make a buck at auction. I've been to an auction before, and I... Have you? Yeah. I bought some stupid posters. That is so funny. I've never ever been to an auction before. I think I'm gonna have to be on my best behavior, though! Even if you itch your nose, you could... you could, like, be bidding! That's what happened with me. I accidentally put my hand up, and I was like, "No, I didn't mean to buy this". And the woman was like, "You have to". That is so funny. We're gonna have to be careful. Yeah. Even if you itch your head... Bidded! VO: After starting in Inverkeithing, our soap stars have shopped their way round the east of Scotland. And are now headed for auction in Kinbuck, Stirlingshire. We've got to get through all these cows, first. Never seen so many stinky cows. Whoa! Yeah, I think that might be... Eurgh! Hey! Oh, oh. Oh no, is there a fly? I think so. Has it gone up your nose? I don't know. I don't know if it's my hair or a fly. Rain. I'm not a country kid anymore! I was doing so well, and now it's tickling me! VO: Maybe it's the antiques bug... It is catching. VO: Kinbuck is a small village just three miles north of the town of Dunblane - hometown of tennis champ, Andy Murray. Look! There's his Olympic gold post box. Ha ha! Today it's going to be game, set and match for one of our doubles, who are meeting up at Robertsons of Kinbuck. Come on! Hi lovely, how are you? Hi, how are you? Good. Are you well? Yeah, very good. Good to see you, Helen. Come on, we need to get in there. We don't want to miss any lots. We mustn't miss anything. VO: Helen and Phil spent £240 buying five auction lots, including Helen's vase and pigeon. That's cool! Coo, coo, cool! Coo, Cool! A little birdie tells me that they paid £20 for that. JORGIE: More money back. Would you pay £20 for that? I don't know, I don't think I would. I'm not a big fan of pigeons. No. They're everywhere, aren't they? The best form of pigeon is on a salad, generally. Shall we go? Let's go. VO: Jorgie and James spent 295 of their £400 on five lots. It grieves me to say this, but I think that's a really good thing. I actually want that for my house. Shh! Don't say things like that. But you could have, like... like, vintage copies of Vogue in it. That would look amazing. Yeah, James subscribes to a different sort of magazine... It would look so cool, I love it. ..but, em, we'll be alright. I think the pigeon will soar to victory. Go on, off you go. Ten, any advance on £10? 12. 13 at the door, in advance of 13... VO: The man with the noisy gavel today is Struan Robertson. Thoughts, Struan? The child's chair is a lovely wee item. It's really cute, it's got great workmanship if you look in the back. And it's also named in the bottom, which is a bonus. Unfortunately, somebody's cat's obviously got to the base, so it is a wee bit worn. Still think it will do quite well today. The thermometer enamel sign is my favorite lot of today. The wear and tear in it I think gives it character. If I could afford it, I would buy it. Five, 28, 26. All out... VO: Today Struan will be selling to bidders in the room, and has some commission bids on the book. Bums on seats please! Good luck. Very busy room, isn't it? Ooh, everyone buy our stuff, please! VO: Let the game begin, it's Helen's pigeon and glass vase. I think the pigeon will do well. I was reserved about the pigeon, but now we're in this together I think it's a very good pigeon. Do you think it's good? Oh, Phil! It's a top pigeon. You bonded through the pigeon. We have. Unusual wee coupling there. Unusual wee coupling. £20. 18, 15, £15, a tenner, start me ten. Ten bid, advance on ten? Ten. An advance on 12, an advance on 12, advance on 14, £16. 18. Advance on 18. You see, it's climbing. 22, 24, 26, 28, 30. £30! 32, advance on 32, 34... Go on! All out then at £34. VO: Perhaps they'll leave a tip? Ha! So how much profit did we make? No, we've actually lost money. Oh... Technically, technically. I thought we made money? It's just in the detail, Helen, don't worry about it. Detail... It's just in the detail. VO: Next up it's Jorgie's favorite, the band leader's mace. Do you think that'll do well? I think it'll do.. I think it'll do better if you gave it a bit of the majorette. I'm gonna go help. Go on. OK, I'll go help. Go and ask that nice young man. In the house for 15, 18. Advance on 18? 20. An advance on 20? 22. 24. 131 is a band leader's mace by Premier. Oh! OK, as shown here. You can guess who this is. Oh! AUCTIONEER: £80. 70, 60, 50, 40, 40 start me, come on, let's go guys. Come on. AUCTIONEER: £40. 30, then? It's a-mace-ing. AUCTIONEER: £30. 20 bid, 22. 24. 26. 28, 30. 32, 34, 36, 38. 40. 45, 50 at the back. An advance on 50. 55. All out at £55... VO: At least the performance was a winner. What are you doing next Thursday? Because we've got a sale. I could do with someone to hold the lots up. I enjoyed that! I'd do that as a job. VO: On to Helen's child's chair with tapestry seat. They'll never reach the dining table on that chair. No, it's a little child's chair. How will they eat their breakfast in the morning? I'll bid 55. An advance on 55? 55! AUCTIONEER: An advance on 50. A lovely chair, this, guys. Come on, let's go. Come on! At £55 for the chair. VO: Not the result they were hoping for. You just need something to push you over, don't you? You're there, or thereabouts. I need something to push me over the edge of a cliff at the minute. VO: Oh, he's such a drama queen. Moving on to Jorgie's Edwardian magazine rack. Where's Jorgie? Jorgie... Jorgie's gone to the loo. Oh, right. She's gonna miss this. VO: Well, when you gotta go... I'll bid 50, an advance on 50. An advance at 50. Oh, go on, sir. 50, 55 I'm out. Going cheap. An advance at £55, at £55, I'm surprised at this one. VO: Yeah... didn't quite stand up. So we lost money on it. I think Jorgie chose the right time to go to the loo. Is that better? You don't want to know! VO: Moving on! It's Helen's favorite. The vintage trunk. Would you buy it? You can't buy it. I really like it. £20. 20 bid. An advance at 20, an advance at £20. 22, an advance at 22. Hey, new bidding. Advance 24. 24. That is cheap. 26, 28. 30. An advance at 30, 32, 34, 36. 38. Advance at 38. Oh! It's getting there. Go on! All out at £38. VO: Only a small loss, folks! That's a nice trunk. That's a nice... It's nice, isn't it? That's gone for a bargain, that! VO: Halfway there, and it's Jorgie's picks, the parasol and the flamingos. You were a bit more into my flamingos than you were into her pigeon though, weren't you? Yeah. Yeah. And I'll bid 30. An advance at 30? Come on, please. Come on, advance. Advance! At £30, last chance at 30. VO: So that's neither up nor down. Even Stephen inks, ooh! VO: Next for the sales pitch, it's the football items. Back of the net, 1-0, we're in the final. Watch. 50, start me. 40. 30. 30 to go. 30 bid, an advance at 30. 30's bid, 30's bid in the room. 32. 34. 36. 38. 40. An advance on 45, 50. That's profit! At £50. VO: Hurrah! A result! We're buzzing, aren't we? I think I'm your best partner you've ever had. I think you are. VO: Now, things are heating up. It's time for Jorgie's 1920s thermometer. Look at that! I'll bid 60, an advance on 60. 65, 70. 75, 80. Advance on 85, 90. 95, 100. Wayhay! Advance at one. All out then at £100. VO: Well that has raised the temperature. Excellent! I'm happy. I'm happy Ooh, that's good. That's good! VO: Time for Helen's last lot, the Georgian tea caddy. It's yew, isn't it? Sorry? Well, it's yew wood... Oh, right. But it's very you. It's very... No, it's not me, it's you. We're learning a lot in here, aren't we? We've learnt a lot from you two. Is it yew? Yew. We've learnt a lot from yew. Yew. £40 only. £40 over there. 45, 50. 55. He's into it. 60. Advance at 65. 70. 70, well done, profit. At £70 to my right. VO: Jolly good, I'm glad it was someone's cup of tea. It was a nice thing to own. 15 quid. Come on, positive Phil. VO: Now it's Jorgie's final item, the 1920s ship's compass. It's just very big, isn't it? Surely useful on your walking holiday. You could take that, couldn't you? Yeah, in your backpack. Something... Stick it on your wrist. "Where are we off to? Oh south, yeah." I'll bid 100, on advance on one. 100. Oh, it's... Advance on one. 110, 120. Well done you, Jim. 130 I'm out. Any advance on 130? In advance of 130, 140. 150. 160. 170. 180. I think they've just run aground. Advance on £180. All out then at £180. Yeah! JAMES: Well done. PHIL: Well done, well done. Well done, matey. That's amazing! We should have got a compass! I know, yeah. They didn't have one for sale, though! VO: Hurrah! A step in the right direction. Right, shall we go do the numbers? I think we might know the numbers, Jim! Look at the little look on his face. Go on! VO: Time to do those sums, then. VO: Helen and Phil began with £400 and after auction fees made an unfortunate loss of £37.46, leaving a total sum of £362.54. VO: Jorgie and James, who started with the same sum, made a profit. And after auction fees their total sum was £449.40, making them today's winners, hurray! And all that profit goes to Children In Need. You are alright, aren't you? We just feel a little wounded. Why? Well, our pigeon got shot down. Yeah. Yeah. We had the chair pulled from underneath us. And you just lucked your way through the landmines with that compass. That was amazing. The compass. I think that was sheer talent, to be honest. That's... Yeah, it is. What did you just say? Sheer talent. JAMES: Sheer talent. Jimbo. Helen. Are we offskis, then? Yes, I think we're off. JAMES: Go on, go on, we'll see you in. You're going in the winners enclosure. Oh! I will not hear the last of this. JAMES: There we are. Bye, guys! BOTH: Bye! VO: Time for one last scene. Oh Helen, I have had a great time. Jorgie, it's been so much fun. It's been so great! HELEN: I've loved these last few days. Do you think you and me could do our own Antiques Road Trip? I think that would be so funny. We'd have, like, the car full! VO: Cheerio, you two. subtitling@stv.tv .
