[THEME MUSIC] TIM WONNACOTT: The nation's favorite celebrities.

Ooh.

Just want to touch base.

TIM WONNACOTT: Paired up with an expert.

Boo!

TIM WONNACOTT: And a classic car.

Yay!

TIM WONNACOTT: Their mission-- to scour Britain for antiques.

My office now.

TIM WONNACOTT: The aim-- to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no easy ride.

Who will find a hidden gem?

I like that.

TIM WONNACOTT: Who will take the biggest risk?

This could end in disaster.

TIM WONNACOTT: Will anybody follow expert advice?

But I love this.

Why would you buy something you're not going to use?

TIM WONNACOTT: There will be worthy winners and valiant losers.

No, I don't want to shake hands.

TIM WONNACOTT: Put your pedal to the metal.

Let me get out of first gear.

TIM WONNACOTT: This is the "Celebrity Antiques Road Trip."

Yeah.

[MUSIC PLAYING] Welcome to Northumbria and a special safari edition entitled-- Hills and Tompkinson, the further adventures of, and our first in the northern hemisphere.

Absolutely.

TIM WONNACOTT: Today's celebrities are Hayley Mills and Stephen Tompkinson, actors who became firm friends on a South African game reserve in TV's "Wild At Heart."

We never had much greenery to look at.

Yeah.

A lion or a giraffe isn't going to-- STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: No.

--jump out from behind the hedge.

Different kind-- different kind of wildlife in the northeast.

TIM WONNACOTT: Oh, aye.

As a child star, Hayley was cast in lead roles in several Disney favorites, including "The Parent Trap."

Stephen's big break came in the early '90s with the classic satire "Drop the Dead Donkey."

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: I watch a lot of these programs.

Yes.

You know?

I do-- Being a typical actor.

HAYLEY MILLS: I do watch them.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Have you antiqued before?

HAYLEY MILLS: Never with-- With experts.

--experts, people who really, really know what's what.

TIM WONNACOTT: Well, I don't know about that, Hayley, but we do have dealer David Harper and auctioneer Christina Trevanion to provide some assistance.

You know who we've got today.

I do.

Two massive names-- Hayley Mills.

She's screen royalty, isn't she?

She truly is.

And I loved her in "Wild At Heart."

She was magnificent.

And the lovely Stephen Tompkinson.

I have so much to thank that man for.

What for?

Well, he played a character with the surname Trevanion.

Of course.

He made my name pronounceable for the world.

Is that right?

OK. TIM WONNACOTT: Sounds like our pairings may be sorted out then.

What about the wheels?

E-type Jag.

A V12.

Primrose yellow.

Manual.

I get-- what does that even mean?

Is this a Jaguar?

TIM WONNACOTT: It is, and our stars, with 400 pounds each to spend, are currently piloting a vintage Rolls-Royce.

Well, Hayley's dad, Sir John Mills, used to have one, so why not?

So have you-- have you got a strategy for the-- the upcoming days?

My strategy is to find something for 5p that's worth 1,000 pounds.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Why didn't I think of that?

Yes.

That's genius, Mills.

Genius.

TIM WONNACOTT: Yes, she sounds like a natural.

Now they just need to meet up at some clearing or other and we can get this expedition started.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: They're heading towards us.

They're heading towards us.

Stop the car!

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Brake!

Lift you legs.

HAYLEY MILLS: It's all right, I do know where the brake is.

Oh, you do!

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: That helps.

Lovely to meet you.

HAYLEY MILLS: How are you?

How are you?

I'm very well thank you.

DAVID HARPER: Stephen, great to meet you.

Great to meet you.

- Good morning.

HAYLEY MILLS: Hello!

CHRISTINA TREVANION: How are you?

Right, OK. HAYLEY MILLS: Yes.

Who are we going to go?

Who are we going to go?

DAVID HARPER: We think the Trevanion family should stay together.

Ah, so you've got the short straw.

Definitely not.

Come over here.

Come over here.

DAVID HARPER: And I think we're going to nab the Rolls, right?

- Are you happy with the Jag?

- Oh yeah.

Let's go.

TIM WONNACOTT: Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.

Today's journey will commence in the town of Powburn and take a tour of the northeast before heading to West Yorkshire and an Ossett auction.

But what will they be looking for?

I love poking around-- Oh.

--people's knickknacks.

Pardon?

You know.

In the nicest possible way.

Please don't poke around.

I'm fascinated by the journey that an object's taken.

If only they could talk.

If only they could tell you-- STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Yeah, yeah.

-where they've been and what they've done.

You want to know the stories, and I'm in the business of storytelling.

TIM WONNACOTT: This could be fun.

DAVID HARPER: What would your dream purchase be?

Maybe an old dress that turned out to belong to Ellen Terry or something that belonged to a great actor.

That would be-- OK. --very, very exciting.

DAVID HARPER: You're quite a romantic, aren't you?

HAYLEY MILLS: Am I?

TIM WONNACOTT: I think she is.

Stephen too by the sound of it.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: What are you looking for?

Anything that reminds me of the film world.

Of course, yeah.

So if we come across a Maltese Falcon I might have that.

TIM WONNACOTT: Good plan.

I quite like statues of famous people as well, busts.

So we will be poking through the knickknacks trying to find a bust.

Yeah!

What's wrong with that?

TIM WONNACOTT: Nothing whatsoever.

And right now on day one things look much more boom than bust.

So 400 pounds to spend.

Well, it sounds like a lot.

It does.

Do you feel like you want to blow the lot?

It wouldn't make much sense to spend everything in one fell swoop because then we have to go home.

TIM WONNACOTT: Oh no, please don't do that.

So when you were in Africa she kind of became your great mate, really good friend.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Yeah.

So how are we going to beat her?

Oh.

No, it's how are we going to beat Harper.

Hayley's too lovely to beat.

We'll just do one over on David.

Oh, I'll be up for that.

I haven't actually ever really beaten him.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Oh.

TIM WONNACOTT: Well one advantage David, our northeastern dealer, might have is local knowledge.

Are you ready, madam?

Oh yes, I am.

Really-- If I can get out.

--whetting my appetite.

TIM WONNACOTT: He doesn't live very far from Powburn after all.

DAVID HARPER: Beryl, hello.

Oh, hello, David.

Nice to see you again.

- Nice to see you again.

- Yes.

- This is lovely Hayley.

- Oh hello, Hayley.

- Hello, Beryl.

Pleased to meet you.

I've heard a lot about you.

Hope it's all good.

It's a great pleasure to meet you.

No, it's all terrible if I'm honest.

So this is Hayley's very first shop on our journey.

Right.

So you don't have much money then if it's you're-- No, we've got 400 quid.

We've got-- we're loaded.

- Ooh 400 now!

We're loaded.

Ooh, that's lucky for me it.

DAVID HARPER: Yes it is.

You never know.

TIM WONNACOTT: Beryl seems pleased, but then who wouldn't love to have a movie legend casing their cabinets?

DAVID HARPER: Got a little crystal vase there.

It'll be Chinese.

It's very modern, but it's painted from the inside out.

Oh, I thought there was something in the vase.

Can we open this?

DAVID HARPER: Yeah.

HAYLEY MILLS: I've never seen anything like that.

DAVID HARPER: Have you never seen that before?

Well, they paint on the inside.

Literally you will have an artist painting with his brush inside the pot.

18 pounds.

18 pounds.

No money.

Where will you find another one?

Well, I've never seen anything like that before in my life.

Well, exactly.

And you'll probably never see another one, Hayley.

Never.

Oh!

TIM WONNACOTT: Cheeky.

HAYLEY MILLS: Is this one of these?

Yeah.

Wash your eyes out.

You couldn't drink out of it though, could you?

HAYLEY MILLS: Well, we could.

Very small tot.

TIM WONNACOTT: Getting along famously.

But the other two should have arrived at this nearby shop by now.

Oh dear.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Ah, poor car.

Sounds really sad, doesn't it?

Oh!

Good lord.

TIM WONNACOTT: Got a voice of its own.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: This is like watching a really bad actor doing a dying scene, isn't it?

You are watching a really bad actor.

TIM WONNACOTT: Welcome to the road trip, Stephen.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: We're going to thumb a lift.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Yeah.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Yeah.

Wait till we see a car.

TIM WONNACOTT: I don't think it's far.

Maybe 10, 15 miles.

How's Hayley?

HAYLEY MILLS: I think it's silver.

And it's 48 quid.

HAYLEY MILLS: What?

DAVID HARPER: What does that say?

It's got all those stamps-- the silver marks on it.

They are called silver marks.

Yes.

But put a faux in front of them.

Faux silver marks.

Fake silver marks.

Not real silver marks.

Seriously?

Yes.

Yes.

I've been duped.

TIM WONNACOTT: Sterling performance though.

Now-- Little doll's house.

DAVID HARPER: Now, did you have a doll's house-- HAYLEY MILLS: Yes.

DAVID HARPER: --as a child?

Right.

My doll's house was-- was long and thin.

DAVID HARPER: OK. HAYLEY MILLS: This is homemade one, isn't it?

DAVID HARPER: Absolutely right.

This is something made probably by Dad-- Yes.

--for his daughter.

TIM WONNACOTT: There doesn't seem to be a price label though.

DAVID HARPER: I think the sofa gives us a good idea as to when that house was actually constructed.

HAYLEY MILLS: Uh 1940?

DAVID HARPER: '30s, '40s.

Look at the shape of that chair.

That rolled arm.

Yes.

Such an art deco looking chair, isn't it?

It is, isn't it.

And there's the occupant.

- I just think it's charming.

- Gorgeous.

DAVID HARPER: I just think it's charming.

HAYLEY MILLS: Isn't it?

The only thing is that the lady who owns the house, she's got to come out through the front door to go to the dining room.

DAVID HARPER: [LAUGHS] TIM WONNACOTT: Access issues aside they do seem keen.

DAVID HARPER: Shall we get the price?

Yeah, let's have a go.

OK, let's go and see Beryl.

OK. OK, and I'm going to leave all the negotiating to you.

Are you sure?

I'm absolutely sure.

Are you quite sure?

TIM WONNACOTT: I think he is.

Beryl, we have found something we like.

BERYL: Good.

And we hope we like the price.

This little doll's house.

BERYL: Right.

HAYLEY MILLS: How much do you want for it?

How about 20 pounds just for you.

20 pounds.

Can't go any lower than that.

Well, what do you think?

What do you think?

Yes.

OK, is that-- have we done the deal?

HAYLEY MILLS: I think so.

DAVID HARPER: We're going to have it, Beryl.

BERYL: Oh good.

HAYLEY MILLS: Yes.

BERYL: Good for you.

- Thank you.

- Very good.

- Thank you.

Thank you, David.

TIM WONNACOTT: Great start, Hayley.

HAYLEY MILLS: 20 pounds.

- She's on fire.

TIM WONNACOTT: And luckily there's room for a house in the back of their Roller.

Ah, the sumptuous leather seats.

It's like we're driving in a living room.

HAYLEY MILLS: And it's ours.

DAVID HARPER: Yeah.

TIM WONNACOTT: Indeed.

It's been a nice stroll anyway, hasn't it?

TIM WONNACOTT: Now, better late than never.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Excited now.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: It looks big.

Are you getting excited?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Yeah!

TIM WONNACOTT: Knickknacks beware!

Hop, skip, and a jump.

1, 2, 3.

TIM WONNACOTT: Because there does seem to be a lot to get excited about.

Getting to handle my first bust.

TIM WONNACOTT: Busts aside, what's going to appeal?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: An old discus.

There's something you don't see every day.

Good paperweight.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Are you a discus player?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: No.

I mean, that is incredibly weighty, isn't it?

But it's also a nice ornament.

Just-- CHRISTINA TREVANION: You wouldn't want to stand in its way though, would you?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Bit of a-- bit of a talking point.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Very nice.

So one to bear in mind.

Yes.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: One to bear in mind.

TIM WONNACOTT: Sure to have a story to tell.

What do you think the plan should be?

The plan is there's no plan.

The plan is-- It's going to-- it's going to find us.

Oh really?

Speak to us.

Oh, OK.

He looks terribly guilty.

He's just been caught.

TIM WONNACOTT: Seems in his element, doesn't he?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: I don't want to come away empty handed in here when there's-- there's such a treasure trove, and I don't think we will.

TIM WONNACOTT: Well, he is a former TV sleuth.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: These are lovely.

They're so cool, aren't they?

25 pounds.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: What, for the lot?

Yeah, it says so.

Oh, I do have them.

I think they're really lovely.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: I love the fact that you've got each one in a different color.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Yeah.

And what's important is that everyone has got its trio- cup, saucer, side plate.

I like a lot.

There's a little spark in your eyes just arrived.

Oh, I really do.

I-- I'd have those.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Alfred Meakin.

OK, yeah.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Is he good?

TIM WONNACOTT: Popular factory, certainly.

This typical 1950s Meakin production now has retro appeal.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: At auction I'd put them in at 20 to 30 quid.

Yeah, so knock that down.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Ask politely.

TIM WONNACOTT: Now, what's Christina got up her sleeve?

And tell me whether you love it or hate it, OK?

OK.

I quite like it.

It's a-- It's a film poster.

Yeah.

It's "How the West Was Won."

TIM WONNACOTT: In Italian.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Do you see there's three different directors and they all told a different story of how the West came into being.

Have you seen this film?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Yeah, and you see all the stars in it-- Jimmy Stewart, Eli Wallach, John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, and the list goes on.

Henry-- Harry Morgan was Colonel Potter in "M#*A#*S#*H." You know, silver hair, glasses.

Yeah.

Raymond Massey.

You have a bit of an encyclopedic knowledge of this.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: It was shot using a technique where three cameras were used rather than one.

Mm.

And they shot simultaneously and then spliced the images together so it could be the biggest cinema-- Extravaganza.

--screen size ever.

TIM WONNACOTT: Cinerama, Stephen.

He knows his stuff, all right.

It's quite cool, isn't it?

It is.

Expect it'd be great for a man cave.

TIM WONNACOTT: In Italy, but there's one big problem.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: It says half poster.

Ah, right.

If you look-- Yeah there's a cutoff point.

There's obviously a lot more.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: You're missing-- I mean, it's got a price tag of 150 pounds on it.

Are we thinking we might spend big?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: It's probably worth a punt.

I would imagine even at an auction it would be like-- there'd be internet interest.

I wouldn't want to go over 100 if they do a deal.

Good find?

Very good find.

Well done you.

All right, shall we keep wondering?

Yeah.

See if we can buy something else?

TIM WONNACOTT: Happy trails, partner.

Now what's he got?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Come and have a look at these.

Collection of boxing magazines from 1951.

Yeah.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: They feature some of the greats of heavyweight boxing.

Rocky Marciano.

My granddad was a fan of the heavyweight fights and I sat on his knee when Muhammad Ali beat George Foreman.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Ah, it's quite gruesome.

Well, yes.

That's Jake LaMotta Jake LaMotta was played by Robert De Niro in the film "Raging Bull."

Mm-hmm.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: And they had three encounters with Sugar Ray Robinson.

Yeah.

And that's a still-- Who won?

LaMotta won one and Sugar Ray won two.

Ooh, you'd be a bit cross, wouldn't you?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: That's Charlie Atlas.

He was the first famous body builder.

- Oh, was he?

- That, you know-- He's got some very tight pants.

Most people look at his muscles.

TIM WONNACOTT: Liar.

What about the price?

65 pounds?

Get them down to 50 maybe.

To a collector and a fan of boxing I think they're dynamite.

TIM WONNACOTT: OK, seconds out then.

Time for a round with proprietor Mark.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: We found a couple of items we might be interested in.

- OK. - Just a couple.

Are we playing hard to get?

Is that what we're doing?

Right.

- Yeah, OK. One of them is your wonderful Western film poster.

MARK: Yes.

If I could have picked out one thing in this shop that you would have gone for, it would not have been that tea service.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: There you go, you see?

Full of surprises.

Yeah, exactly.

I like people that surprise me.

- Good.

- So-- Boo!

TIM WONNACOTT: Lordy.

OK, not that kind of surprise.

TIM WONNACOTT: The ticket prices on those things add up to 240 pounds, by the way.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Mark, what would your best price be for the three items?

What about 150 for everything?

Pretty good.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Shall we go for it?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Yes.

TIM WONNACOTT: Let's.

That's the poster for 100 pounds, the tea set for 20, and the mags for 30.

We've boxed clever there.

TIM WONNACOTT: Knockout.

Did it live up to your expectations?

Oh, surpassed them.

Oh, magic.

TIM WONNACOTT: So while they look for a mechanic let's see what our Rolls-Royces are up to.

Now, Hayley, I think I have a bit of a treat in store for you.

Really?

Are you partial to a nice cup of tea?

Are you offering me a cup of tea?

DAVID HARPER: So you like a good cup of tea?

HAYLEY MILLS: I love a good cup of tea.

Do you enjoy gardening?

I adore gardening.

DAVID HARPER: OK. TIM WONNACOTT: Those two have just motored to the Northumberland village of Howick.

Oh, look at that.

TIM WONNACOTT: And grade II listed Howick Hall.

DAVID HARPER: Imagine arriving here in your carriage.

TIM WONNACOTT: You just have.

It's renowned for its gardens and arboretum.

The tea house too.

Not surprising since the Hall's most famous former resident is the 2nd Earl Gray.

I like milk with mine.

How long has this beautiful place been in your family?

It's been in the family for a long time, since the early 14th century.

TIM WONNACOTT: Hayley and David are here to meet the great man's descendant, Lord Howick.

So for a traditional country house English garden it does have a bit of an exotic feel as well.

LORD HOWICK: Yes, it does, because we've always been interested in plants in foreign places.

They were helped a lot by the climate up here.

Our winter is relatively mild.

The 2nd Earl Gray in the early 19th century was quite a keen gardener and he loved his trees.

My grandparents took it over in 1920.

They were keen, as you can see, on wildflower meadows-- HAYLEY MILLS: Yes.

LORD HOWICK: --which, again, was fairly advanced in the 1920s.

HAYLEY MILLS: The gardens are beautiful.

But what about your wonderful tea?

Your famous tea?

LORD HOWICK: Well, the 2nd Earl somehow or other met a Chinese Mandarin merchant, complained about the quality of his tea up here, and the Mandarin offered to blend one for him to suit the water, and that's how they introduced a lot of bergamot to offset the taste of the limestone.

And it proved very popular.

But sadly, from our point of view, they never registered the trademark.

Howick and the family have never received a penny of royalties.

That is incredible.

LORD HOWICK: It's tragic.

- It is.

It is.

- It is.

Are you sure it's not too late?

LORD HOWICK: Yes, I think so.

TIM WONNACOTT: But as well as the tea and the gardens, the 2nd Earl Gray, who's buried here at the Hall, has yet another claim to fame because as prime minister in 1832 he presided over the passing of the great Reform Act, modernizing and democratizing our electoral system.

The great strength that Lord Grey had was that he was trusted by all parties.

And in the end, after a hell of a battle, he got the Reform bill of 1832.

TIM WONNACOTT: Grey's act made parliament more representative, doubling the number of voters, and giving the new industrial towns more MPs.

So what it demonstrated was that you could have constitutional change without having a written constitution and without having to have rebellions and civil wars as all other countries in Europe ended up by doing.

TIM WONNACOTT: I'll drink to that, with Earl Grey, of course.

Now then, lemon or milk?

DAVID HARPER: Hayley, I did promise you a very good cup of tea.

Now, Lord Howick, I really do hope this is a very good cup of tea.

I would also hope so.

It would be very disappointing if it's not.

Lovely.

Well, thank you very much.

What a lovely visit.

Yes.

It was very nice of you to come.

- Yes.

- [INAUDIBLE] Do you like Earl Grey tea?

Yes, but-- I shouldn't say this, but I do in fact drink lapsang souchong.

TIM WONNACOTT: [LAUGHS] How sweet.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Northumbria that yellow E-Type is enjoying a new lease of life.

Very gentle.

Very.

Very gentle.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Very gently.

TIM WONNACOTT: They're nursing her towards the county town of Alnwick.

I'm glad we're back off and running because a lot of these lanes are very hard on the feet.

Yes.

Up, up, up, up, up to the next shop, OK?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Bring it on.

TIM WONNACOTT: That's Alnwick Castle, a popular movie location.

That's our antique shop.

Cue our popular actor.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Purring like a cheetah.

TIM WONNACOTT: Well, he should know.

Now that has got David Harper written all over it.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Hello.

Christina.

- Eileen.

- Hi, Eileen.

- Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Hi, Eileen.

Stephen.

- Hi.

- Nice to meet you.

I lean on the bar, and you buy the drinks.

I like it.

TIM WONNACOTT: Eileen's emporium has a lot to like too, but they've shopped well today.

What can you see?

What can you see?

TIM WONNACOTT: So the pressure's definitely off.

Bring me the antiques.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: It's a potato peeler.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Ooh!

Which I've never seen the like of.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: So would it-- it would tumble them for you?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: I guess.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: What's in it?

I don't know.

Not sure how it opens.

TIM WONNACOTT: Maybe had its chips.

What can Christina come up with?

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Hey, that's nice.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Scent bottle.

That's exactly what it is, yeah.

So a little bohemian scent bottle.

Quite underrated really.

If you think about the workmanship that's gone into this.

So this is white glass or milk glass overlay.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Mm-hmm.

And then you would slice back the milk glass to reveal obviously the clear glass underneath.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Bohemian glass is doing quite well at auction at the moment.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: All right.

Yeah.

What about the stopper?

What do you think about the stopper?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Is it the-- the original?

CHRISTINA TREVANION: What's it made of?

Is that porcelain as well?

That's porcelain and that's?

That's glass.

Do you think they started life together?

I don't know.

Yes?

- No.

- No.

- No.

So it's not-- CHRISTINA TREVANION: So it's what we call a marriage.

TIM WONNACOTT: But not a happy one.

What about clothing?

A novelty scarf.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Are you a first aider?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Well, I could be after this.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Yeah.

That's all you need to know, isn't it?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: That's spectacular.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: What is that?

I guess if you've broken your jaw or-- Oh my gosh, yeah.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Yes, and toothache.

I think that's quite cool.

What's it got on it?

25 quid.

Vintage wartime sling bandage.

Just in case you didn't know where the end was-- Yeah.

--it tells you.

TIM WONNACOTT: Vitally important.

For use by Girl Guides.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: He looks a bit like Robbie Williams.

Hey, well, if it ties around there and stops him singing I'm all for it.

TIM WONNACOTT: Take That!

But are we moving in One Direction?

Who writes this stuff.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: That's slightly bothering me though.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: You know when you said to me this morning you want to know its history-- Mm-hmm.

--you want it to be able to tell a tale.

So that does.

Without that we wouldn't know that it was-- I mean, can you imagine all those little Girl Guides dib dib dobbing, dob dob dibbing.

- Authentication.

- Exactly.

And no-- Provenance.

Exactly.

The key word.

Yeah, we could put provenance.

Rossalyn Tait, 1st Wooler Girl Guides.

Are you haggling on this one?

No.

Have you given up on the haggling?

- I'm not good at it.

- OK. All right.

Leave it to me.

TIM WONNACOTT: Come on, Eileen.

We think this scarf is quite fun, Eileen.

Would a tenner be able to secure it for us?

How much is on it?

25?

How much did you say?

10 pounds.

- All right.

- Yeah!

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Ah.

- You're an angel.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Thank you.

- Right.

Now you can buy the drinks.

No, no.

No.

Still not.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Still keep trying.

TIM WONNACOTT: That's it for today, but there's just enough time for a game drive before sundown.

Nighty night.

[MUSIC PLAYING] Next day, Hayley's in the mood for shopping.

Yesterday just whetted my appetite-- - Yes.

- --for today.

Good.

And I've washed my hair.

Oh well.

And I had a good night's sleep.

So I'm ready.

TIM WONNACOTT: Well that's good to know because that doll's house barely dented her funds.

Have we done the deal?

I think so.

TIM WONNACOTT: So she still has 380 pounds available for today's purchases while Stephen was very busy picking up a movie poster, some boxing magazines, a sling, and some crockery-- Oh, I'd have them.

TIM WONNACOTT: --leaving him with 240 pounds and much to reflect on.

We got four items yesterday.

Four?

Four.

Oh gosh.

Some of them were in my field of expertise.

Cricket?

Um, I don't want to give too much away, Hayley.

TIM WONNACOTT: Well, as long as we can keep both cars on the road we'll be all right.

What on earth were you doing to it?

Well, you know, I wasn't really looking at the dials, but apparently you're supposed to look at the dials when you're driving.

TIM WONNACOTT: She jests.

Could happen to anyone.

Nice and easy does it though.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Here we go again.

Good morning.

DAVID HARPER: I know.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Here we go.

Are you ready?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Day two.

Round two.

Yeah.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Bring it on.

DAVID HARPER: You have the E-Type.

- Have fun.

- Good to see you.

- Look after her for me.

- You too.

Morning, lovely.

You look fantastic.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Are you ready?

DAVID HARPER: Would you like to drive?

Let's do it.

DAVID HARPER: OK. Have a good day.

And you.

[LAUGHTER] TIM WONNACOTT: Later they'll be going south to that auction in Ossett, but our first stop today is in Barnard Castle.

Christina always wants to be the first to get away in that car.

She's so competitive.

She's so competitive.

And you know what, on these celebrity road trips, Christina and I have done loads and she's never won.

TIM WONNACOTT: Yes.

The other lot do seem a tad more motivated.

Shall we do some stretching?

Stretching?

Yeah.

Limbering up for the day.

Come on.

And a left.

And a right.

Better?

Yeah.

Is that good?

No, I'm raring to go now.

TIM WONNACOTT: Whatever works, hey?

DAVID HARPER: Now, Hayley, you've played a number of characters over the years.

Which character should you take on right now today to really nail this competition?

There were two characters that I played in "The Parent Trap."

Yes.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: The twins who were separated at birth.

One of them went off to Boston and the other one was brought up in California.

She was much more assertive.

Right.

That's who I'll have to embody is Susan.

The Californian.

The Californian.

Or was her name Sharon?

TIM WONNACOTT: Yes, it was a bit confusing.

I'm going to haggle the hell out of it today.

TIM WONNACOTT: Well, there should be plenty of opportunities, Hayley, beginning with Barnard Castle.

DAVID HARPER: So this is it.

This is my hometown.

Oh.

Yeah, I live a few miles away.

- It's beautiful.

- Yeah, well.

It's a beautiful old market town.

DAVID HARPER: It's a lovely old market town.

I'm going to show you some beautiful old things.

HAYLEY MILLS: Yes, sir.

In you go.

HAYLEY MILLS: Great.

DAVE: Hello.

This is Dave.

Hayley, this is Dave.

DAVE: Hello, Hayley.

Hi.

- Hey.

Hello, David.

DAVID HARPER: Good to see you.

I was going to put some bright trousers on but I changed my mind.

TIM WONNACOTT: Yep, I'm sure the goods here can sell themselves, Dave.

Our job is to find something that-- What about her?

DAVID HARPER: Do you like her?

Well, she's lovely, but she's 490 pounds.

Oh.

Made by Darby.

I have got very expensive taste.

You do.

You do.

What these two little silver owls?

DAVID HARPER: Well, look at them.

They're gorgeous.

Now they're not expensive.

They're only 895 pounds.

Oh.

Yes.

It's getting worse.

TIM WONNACOTT: This corner looks a bit more affordable.

Clothing.

Are you into clothing?

Oh.

what-- what's that all about?

DAVID HARPER: Oh, it's-- it's a health and safety poster.

The kind of thing you'd see in a workplace.

Oh really?

Isn't that fantastic?

HAYLEY MILLS: The target for 1968.

DAVID HARPER: No accidents.

HAYLEY MILLS: No accidents.

DAVID HARPER: Quite cool.

HAYLEY MILLS: It is.

Now, hang on then.

So 1968.

Yeah?

What was Hayley Mills doing in 1968?

Oh, don't ask me.

I was living on the King's Road.

DAVID HARPER: How old were you?

HAYLEY MILLS: 22. Who did you know?

Did you know The Beatles?

Yeah, I met The Beatles, yes.

Mm.

Come on.

We need more information than that.

HAYLEY MILLS: No, it was a great time.

So this is-- You don't want to give away any information, do you?

- No.

- You're terrible.

- Come on.

- OK, back to the poster.

I think we ought to think about this.

DAVID HARPER: They were throwaway items.

HAYLEY MILLS: Exactly.

That's why it's amazing-- DAVID HARPER: Exactly.

HAYLEY MILLS: --that these two still exist.

DAVID HARPER: I love them.

I absolutely love them.

I do.

I think they are-- that's art now, isn't it?

That's exactly what it is.

HAYLEY MILLS: They're valid as a pair, aren't they?

DAVID HARPER: I think a pair-- I mean are they 28 each or are they 28 for the pair?

They can't be asking 28 each.

No.

Are you practicing you negotiating?

Yes.

But don't try and negotiate with me.

I'm on your side.

TIM WONNACOTT: OK. Action, Hayley.

Dave, we're interested in these two posters.

Right, the-- yeah.

First of all, we'd like to know what your best price is.

Right.

They're marked at what, 28 each?

DAVID HARPER: For the two.

For the two.

- 28 for the two.

- For the two.

For the two.

No, no, no, each.

Each?

28 each, yeah.

Oh, good luck with this one.

No.

Well, supposing we give you 28 for the two?

DAVE: No, I couldn't do that.

How about 35 for the two?

How about 25.

No, I can't.

I can't.

You've gone down.

TIM WONNACOTT: Yep.

Wrong way.

Aren't you're supposed to go up?

You're going to get confused any minute.

Go on.

Continue.

You're doing brilliantly.

Yeah, I'll end up giving you them.

Best offer, 30 pound for the two.

HAYLEY MILLS: That's good.

DAVE: We'll go for it?

DAVID HARPER: That's a deal.

- Yes.

- We'll shake on it?

- Yes.

30 pound, OK?

- 30 pounds.

- Did that feel good?

- Yes.

- Excellent.

Dave, well done.

Thank you.

- We'll pay you right now.

- Yeah.

TIM WONNACOTT: Off to a brisk start.

Now, that's familiar.

HAYLEY MILLS: What's that?

DAVID HARPER: It's a-- it's a discus, isn't it?

For throwing.

Discus.

That's a cool thing.

I don't think I've ever seen one.

Neither have I actually.

TIM WONNACOTT: Well, Stephen did just yesterday.

Do we want to buy this?

Well, let's have a look at what the markings say.

HAYLEY MILLS: I mean-- It's Helsinki, Finland, isn't it?

Do you speak Finnish?

- I've forgotten all my Finnish.

- Really?

Have you really?

- Yeah.

TIM WONNACOTT: Mine's only conversational.

DAVID HARPER: That says "sparticles" Company Limited.

That's in Finnish.

Right, right.

TIM WONNACOTT: I think it's sportarticles.

- Yeah.

- Well, that's a wood, isn't it?

That's a hardwood.

Can you tell what kind of wood that is?

DAVID HARPER: I'm going to guess it's an oak.

Heavy.

Yeah, no, don't be throwing it.

No.

No, don't.

What's your instinct as to its date?

Oh my word.

Go with your instinct.

1920.

I would say bang on 1920.

Really?

I think that's fantastic.

TIM WONNACOTT: Time for a discus-ion.

What is the battle plan?

What would you like to get it for?

Well, it's for sale for 40.

DAVID HARPER: Yeah.

HAYLEY MILLS: So 20?

20 quid would be good.

Is that the ultimate aim?

Will you pay more?

Yes.

How much more?

Not a lot.

Not a lot.

TIM WONNACOTT: So that's the plan.

Dave?

Dave.

DAVID HARPER: OK. HAYLEY MILLS: You've got it down for 40 pounds.

So-- 40 pounds, yes.

Yeah.

Shall I have a sit down?

What were you thinking?

Well, cash.

No questions asked.

Right.

20 pounds.

Oh.

Half price?

No, we can't do it.

No, I can't do half.

How about 30?

29?

DAVE: Yeah, go on.

29.

Oh, you're a star.

- You've done it.

- Thank you very much.

I didn't say a word.

But yeah, well done.

Well done.

Thanks, Dave.

Thank you very much.

TIM WONNACOTT: One pound change please.

They still haven't spent much.

Now this is one room owned by one dealer.

HAYLEY MILLS: This is-- I think I'm right-- is the MacMillan tartan.

OK.

Which is my mum's tartan.

Oh, how lovely.

HAYLEY MILLS: Yeah!

DAVID HARPER: That suits you actually.

Look at this.

That is a funkmeister, isn't it?

TIM WONNACOTT: A funk what?

1950s flight case.

Oh OK. TIM WONNACOTT: That won't come cheap.

HAYLEY MILLS: Look.

DAVID HARPER: Oh, it's lined on the inside.

And it smells.

It's still got-- Oh.

Oh, old socks and mothballs.

Mothballs, that's what I get from that.

HAYLEY MILLS: Yes.

DAVID HARPER: That's very, very on trend.

HAYLEY MILLS: I love it.

I think it's been restored massively.

- Oh.

- No, no.

Don't-- don't go oh.

That-- go ooh.

- Oh.

- Ooh.

Oh.

Good.

No, ooh.

Because I think that's good.

I think in ropey condition who would want it?

But it's an absolutely-- HAYLEY MILLS: Yes.

DAVID HARPER: --ready to go, isn't it?

HAYLEY MILLS: Yeah.

Would you use that as a sofa?

What's wrong with you?

Could it be a coffee table?

Yes.

HAYLEY MILLS: It reminds me of the film stars-- DAVID HARPER: Yes.

HAYLEY MILLS: --of yore.

Yes.

That-- it's kind of glamorous.

It is glamorous, but it's all the money.

TIM WONNACOTT: 280 pounds to be precise.

We'll get a good bit knocked off won't we?

Probably not a great deal.

You'd be very lucky if you get it down to 200.

Really?

Really?

I would say.

But really the quality is fantastic.

That's basically handmade.

HAYLEY MILLS: Yeah.

DAVID HARPER: To create that new today, something like that would be a couple of thousand pounds.

There's no doubt about it.

Yes.

- Shall we have a go?

- Yes.

Come on.

Be brave.

Come on.

- Good, good, good.

TIM WONNACOTT: Remember, think "Parent Trap."

Sharon, not Susan.

Dave.

Yes.

Can you give us a really good price on that?

What's the ticket-- what's it got on the ticket price?

280.

I mean, normally you'll do 10% DAVID HARPER: That's about 250.

How about 220?

Well, I think that's very decent, don't you?

Well, I do.

Were you thinking any less or not?

210?

She's hard, isn't she?

She's learned-- she's learned very quick.

DAVID HARPER: I'll give her that.

DAVE: All right, we'll go 210.

HAYLEY MILLS: Oh, you're such a hero.

TIM WONNACOTT: You too, Hayley.

I'm sorry, we've got to do a high five.

Yeah!

TIM WONNACOTT: Don't forget Dave!

Well done you.

You are remarkable.

DAVE: Thank you.

TIM WONNACOTT: Now let's grab the discus plus the rest.

Are you all right?

Because these prints are quite heavy.

TIM WONNACOTT: Such a gent, hey?

Elsewhere in County Durham they're on the subject of the beautiful game.

Well, Stephen is.

Yes, lifelong Middlesbrough fan.

Are they-- are they football, or what-- what do they do?

Yes, Christina.

They are football.

OK. Because the family all being from Stockton-on-Tees.

Yeah.

Middlesbrough was the nearest town that had a big football side.

Are they any good?

To me yes, of course they are.

Do they win much?

They-- they-- they-- they take you through all the emotions.

Um, I'm very proud to support Middlesbrough Football Club.

TIM WONNACOTT: Up the Borough.

The E-Types are on their way to the town of West Auckland, home of the miners' side that won football's first World Cup.

Yep, you heard right, The World Cup.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Here we go.

TIM WONNACOTT: And they did it twice.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: How many seats are there?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: No, you stand.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Stand?

You stand.

That's why they're called stands.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Ah, OK. STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: They're not called sits.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: [LAUGHS] TIM WONNACOTT: Stephen and Christina are here to learn about the men who took the trophy in Turin from Chairman Jim Palfreyman.

Hello, Mr. Chairman.

Stephen.

- I'm Jim.

- Hiya, Jim.

- Hi, Jim.

Christina.

Hi, Christina.

Would you like to come down?

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Absolutely.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Jim, West Auckland have one of the most fascinating histories in all of world football.

How did that come about?

Thomas Lipton, the entrepreneur, the tea man, he liked football.

In 1909 he wanted to be the football competition involving teams from various countries, and he wanted a team from England to represent England.

But the FA were not interested at all because it wasn't an official cup, and there's a big mystery as to why West Auckland got chosen.

There is a rumor that we got mistaken with Woolwich Arsenal.

Because of the initials?

Yeah.

But there is a big mystery surrounding why West Auckland.

So they were chosen to represent England?

Mm-hmm.

The other sides were all professional.

JIM: The other sides were all professional.

You know, you've got Stuttgart from Germany, you've got Winterhausen from Switzerland.

It must have terrifying.

I think it was the miner spirit that it was just an adventure.

Did Thomas Lipton fund them to go over?

He didn't.

He didn't, no.

They-- the players that were going and the village as a whole just sold anything valuable-- furniture, jewelry-- to gather the money together to pay for the fare to get them across there.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: So this little team, the fact that they even got to the competition is quite amazing, isn't it?

JIM: It is, and the fact that they won the competition with no goals be scored against.

So they beat Stuttgart 2-0, and then they beat the Winterhausen, which were the Swiss champions, 2-0 in the final to win the cup.

And then two years later they won the cup again, but they beat the mighty Juventus 6-1.

6-1?

TIM WONNACOTT: After that triumph, West Auckland were allowed to keep Lipton's cup.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: It's such a great story, isn't it?

This little team from the middle of nowhere went out and won.

This was really the first World Cup, wasn't it?

Mm-hmm.

But it's not the World Cup that we know it as now.

It's not.

That started in 1930.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: OK. And it's every four years since then.

These were sort of club sides-- They were.

--really rather than national sides.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: This is a replica trophy.

It is.

The original that stood for many years in a local pub and was then put to the working men's club, and unfortunately it got stolen in 1994.

Oh gosh, quite recently really.

JIM: Mm-hmm.

So from the insurance and pictures we had this one made.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Gosh, well done you.

I mean, that is beautiful.

TIM WONNACOTT: That, however, is the real thing.

Can I pick the medal up?

Would you like to try it on?

Ah!

Yeah, would I have ever?

A World Cup winner's medal.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: It's beautiful.

Would you like me to crown you?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Oh please.

- You ready?

- Yeah.

- Ready?

Stephen Tompkinson, World Cup winner.

All right, I'm out of here.

TIM WONNACOTT: So 57 years before Bobby Moore got his hands on the second trophy West Auckland did it first.

Meanwhile, what news of our other actor and expert pairing?

DAVID HARPER: Dad, Sir John Mills.

I mean, that is quite a beginning.

Do you think you were destined to be an actor?

Probably.

I used to go to the studios with my dad when I was little.

Yeah.

HAYLEY MILLS: And so then when it was me in front of the camera I just loved it.

It's getting into another persona, another life.

And that's what's fascinating about antiques.

You pick up an object and you reveal this object's other life.

There is not a single boring thing in an antique shop when I'm with you.

Oh, you're very sweet.

TIM WONNACOTT: Still hitting it off then and en route to the Tees Valley and Darlington where, in 1825, between here and Stephen's hometown of Stockton-on-Tees, they launched the world's first steam-powered public railway.

This shop is a former railway worker's cottage with coal themed artwork by the shopkeeper.

Oh right, OK. HAYLEY MILLS: Amazing.

It's interesting paintings.

DAVID HARPER: There is.

- Was he a miner?

I think he was.

He's been down the pit.

He's certainly been down the pit, hasn't he?

You can tell.

- He certainly has.

Yeah.

Well we've got paintings.

We've got a bicycle.

HAYLEY MILLS: These beer bottles are interesting.

DAVID HARPER: Quite like them.

I started my interest in antiques by collecting things in old bottle dumps.

If you could find a Victorian bottle dump you could root around, and under about four inches of soil you would find wonderful 18th and 19th century bottles-- HAYLEY MILLS: Oh yes.

DAVID HARPER: --that were thrown away 100 years ago.

These are the kind of things that take me back-- little medicine bottles.

Fantastic.

Look at the iridescence there.

Almost like it's just washed in petrol.

HAYLEY MILLS: That's rather beautiful, that one.

DAVID HARPER: This one?

Yeah.

HAYLEY MILLS: Yeah.

DAVID HARPER: Look at that.

HAYLEY MILLS: Yeah.

DAVID HARPER: Beautiful shape.

HAYLEY MILLS: Something in there that's sort of dry.

Do you want to have a drink of it?

You never know what might happen.

Wow.

What's it smell of?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.

HAYLEY MILLS: Is that an old-- oh no, that's Bovril.

DAVID HARPER: Oh, isn't that charming?

HAYLEY MILLS: Yes.

Even that actually now-- Yeah.

Well, it's a classic thing, isn't it?

--is-- is a bit of a rarity, isn't it?

DAVID HARPER: It is.

HAYLEY MILLS: What would a collection of bottles like this, do you think, make at an auction?

DAVID HARPER: In an auction, you know, I think 10 or 20 pounds maybe if you were lucky because they are the kind of things that people like to find, I think, more than like to buy.

But I think we could use that as a backup.

If we need to buy something we could put a bit of a fun bottle lot in.

HAYLEY MILLS: Yeah.

TIM WONNACOTT: Now this could be interesting.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Thank you.

TIM WONNACOTT: Luckily there's a choice of floors though.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: There's an awful lot of doorknobs.

I don't think I've ever seen so many doorknobs in one place.

TIM WONNACOTT: Still, when in Rome.

Hello.

- Hi guys.

- How are you?

Hello.

Very well.

Buying knobs?

We're just-- just perusing.

Browsing.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Have you had a busy day?

Oh yes.

We've had a very busy day.

Have you?

Yes.

Yeah.

Have you've been buying lots of things?

Because you've got a lot of work to do.

Listen, Hayley has been on fire.

On fire.

Have you ruined any cars today, you two?

Not today.

DAVID HARPER: Really?

We have tried.

Well, you continue looking at your knobs and we'll have a look down here.

- All right then.

All right, have fun.

Have fun.

TIM WONNACOTT: Now, time to have a word about those bottles with proprietor Tony.

Toto?

What sort of money for the lot?

Every last thing in the box of bottles upstairs.

TONY: It's got to be 80 pounds.

There's some very, very unusual bottles that will not have been made after the Second World War and indeed even after the First World War.

DAVID HARPER: I thought 20 or 30 quid for the box, didn't I, in auction.

David, I've got to say, whenever I see you the word constriction comes to me.

- Oh really?

- Yes.

Is that a medical condition?

Particularly-- yes, particularly in this area.

One final offer.

50 pounds.

If you work out the number of bottles it probably works out at a pound each.

DAVID HARPER: What are your thoughts?

You never know.

You never know.

- You never know.

You never know.

Do you like the bottles?

I do.

DAVID HARPER: Can we work just a bit harder on the 50 quid, Tony?

For you and Hayley I'll do 45 pounds.

DAVID HARPER: OK, Hayley, so-- That's really good.

Are you happy then?

I think we should accept that.

I think we should accept it.

Thank you very, very much.

TONY: Hayley, thank you.

David, thank you.

Thank you.

I was worried about what you were going to say there.

TIM WONNACOTT: Quite.

Now, left a bit, Hayley.

Right a bit.

Down a bit.

Back inside, the others are rummaging with some gusto.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: So what is our box?

Siam Colleary.

I mean, it's just an empty box, but-- TONY: No, it isn't.

The equipment that goes inside it-- CHRISTINA TREVANION: Yeah.

TONY: --is there, and it's for assessing the levels.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Oh wow.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: I like that.

So I bow to your better judgment on this, Tony.

What is this?

TONY: In its simplest form, it's a plumb line.

I can see you when I look down there!

TONY: Oh my word.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: It's still working.

God, that's amazing.

Look down there.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Hey, yeah.

You're upside down, but you're looking good.

TONY: Well, that's probably better.

TIM WONNACOTT: There's a fair bit more in those cabinets though.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Tony, what can you tell me about this wagon plate.

That is a wagon plate and it's 60 years old.

16 tons.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Right.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: I just feel that there is quite a healthy collector's market.

- Railway owned.

Exactly.

And it's 28 pounds.

And I think if we could secure that for 20 pounds I think it's-- Yeah.

--worth that.

Would you accept 20 pounds for it, Tony?

Yes.

Oh blimey.

Hey!

Done deal.

- 10?

Thank you, Tony.

10?

5?

Got to say, you've both been quite decisive.

TIM WONNACOTT: Makes a change, doesn't it, Tony?

Now time to shunt off.

[MAKING TRAIN NOISES] TIM WONNACOTT: Because with our shopping complete, let's take a peek.

HAYLEY MILLS: 1, 2, 3.

DAVID HARPER: Come on, Hayley.

[BOTTLES CLINKING] - Ooh.

- Uh-oh.

Damage.

Don't worry.

I don't think we'll affect any value.

Oh.

Oh look what they've got!

DAVID HARPER: What do you think?

CHRISTINA TREVANION: They've going to discus!

DAVID HARPER: Yes!

[INAUDIBLE] Very tactile and so remarkably heavy.

Mm-hmm, yeah.

It's beautiful.

What's this brown edifice here?

DAVID HARPER: What do you mean edifice?

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Well, what is it?

Didn't you have a doll's house as a child?

How much did you pay for that?

DAVID HARPER: We paid 20 pounds.

HAYLEY MILLS: Yeah.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Oh, that's not bad.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: That's very good.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Does it have accessories?

DAVID HARPER: It does have accessories.

Oh, that's dinky.

Got a little-- Victorian table.

HAYLEY MILLS: And it has an occupant.

Oh, hello.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: I don't think you need to talk me through the posters because they look like something that you would normally wear.

Yes, I'd possibly paint in those colors.

Yeah.

Yes.

And you certainly wouldn't miss that piece of luggage on the carousel at Heathrow.

HAYLEY MILLS: No.

DAVID HARPER: No.

It's our big risky one.

Well, it's cool.

It came down quite a bit though.

- Very cool.

- Yeah.

And then what a lot of bottle.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Yeah.

Ah.

Please tell me you paid 2 pounds 20 for those.

Oh my gosh.

But we did get a free drawer.

Yay!

Would you like to reveal yours?

Should we?

I think we should.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Shall we start at the front?

HAYLEY MILLS: Oh.

DAVID HARPER: "Del West?"

Is it original?

CHRISTINA TREVANION: It is.

- Wow.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: It is.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Yeah.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: But it's Italian and it's translated into English.

It was "How the West Was Won."

I really like that.

I do too.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: We have to be delicate.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Quite delicate.

So, ta da!

Oh.

Oh.

DAVID HARPER: Got a bit of 1950s glam going on there.

We have, absolutely.

HAYLEY MILLS: That's railway?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: It's a railway, yeah, wagon train plate, and that tells you the-- the tonnage that it was allowed to take.

HAYLEY MILLS: Yeah.

- What do you fancy?

Well-- CHRISTINA TREVANION: Take your pick.

Take your pick.

Any one.

Well it's obviously a set.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Mm-hmm.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Yes, very much so.

HAYLEY MILLS: Yes.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Little trios.

Alfred Meakin.

- Oh nice.

Really sweet.

They're all in good condition and they've all got their little set to them as well.

This is Stephen's purchase I assume.

HAYLEY MILLS: Is it all boxing?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Yeah, they're all boxing magazines, "The Ring."

CHRISTINA TREVANION: They are fascinating.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: And they've got everyone from Rocky Marciano, Ray Robinson before he was Sugar.

For pugilist fans-- DAVID HARPER: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: --I'm hoping.

HAYLEY MILLS: What is that?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: It's a hoot.

It's a hoot.

This-- it's a bandage in itself.

DAVID HARPER: Wow.

But demonstrates-- CHRISTINA TREVANION: How you're supposed to tie the bandages.

It's fantastic.

How you tie the bandages.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: It's cool, isn't it?

HAYLEY MILLS: That's fantastic.

DAVID HARPER: Quite like that.

Shall we see you at the auction?

- Absolutely.

- We shall.

- Very best of luck.

We'll see you there.

- Au revoir.

Au revoir.

Come on, madam.

TIM WONNACOTT: So, any regrets?

I think they've got some very, very interesting things.

But so have we.

- Yes.

That flight case.

It's a bobby dazzler, but it's a lot of money.

HAYLEY MILLS: That poster.

I like the poster.

Yes.

I'm trying not to like it.

I do-- I do like that.

You feeling confident?

Um, I don't know till I get there.

Quietly confident.

Quietly confident.

Yeah.

TIM WONNACOTT: After getting started at Powburn in the northeast, our celebrities and experts are about to get auctioning in Ossett.

I must say I'm quite excited-- Well yeah.

--about the auction.

I haven't been to an auction for years.

I've- I've never been to an auction.

This is it.

This is the day of reckoning.

Oh!

Don't throw the gauntlet down on me, Millsy.

HAYLEY MILLS: Yeah, yeah.

TIM WONNACOTT: This is Ossett, an Anglo-Saxon name which translates as fold frequented by blackbirds.

Handy.

This is the CWH sale room, a family run business dating back as far as 1880, although internet bidding is a much more recent innovation.

DAVID HARPER: Good morning.

HAYLEY MILLS: Hi!

Morning all.

HAYLEY MILLS: Good to see you.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Looking beautiful as ever.

DAVID HARPER: Come on, this is the exciting bit.

Yes.

Look, she's dragging him in already.

The auction has started.

Go, go, go, go.

DAVID HARPER: Are you excited?

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: I am!

DAVID HARPER: Fantastic.

TIM WONNACOTT: Stephen and Christina parted with a mere 180 pounds for five auction lots.

We've boxed clever there.

TIM WONNACOTT: While Hayley and David spent a bit more-- 334 for their five lots.

You're such a hero.

TIM WONNACOTT: But what does auctioneer Dion Harrison think might wow the West Riding?

DION HARRISON: The big flight case is by far the best item.

I think there'll be a lot of interest in that and I would have thought probably 90 to 120 pounds.

The collection of boxing magazines were very interesting.

There's some fighters mentioned there like Jack Dempsey.

Should be of interest.

The discus is unusual and it is inscribed with the Finnish word for bear, which is virtually unpronounceable.

TIM WONNACOTT: Well, you learn something every day.

Are we ready?

Hayley, do you think we're going to make any money?

I think we have a very, very good chance.

Do you?

TIM WONNACOTT: First we have a small selection of those bottles Hayley and David plunked for.

45 pounds for the contents of somebody's recycling bin?

Now.

Well, a Victorian bottle dump.

20 pounds to start them off.

DAVID HARPER: Go on.

Silence.

MAN: I've got 10.

You've got 10.

DAVID HARPER: 10?

It's a start.

It's a start.

There's a-- Come on.

There's a tumbleweed [INAUDIBLE] Now, now.

DAVID HARPER: We've got another one.

DION HARRISON: Right, 15.

Oh, chappy in the room.

15 DION HARRISON: At 15, at 15.

I'll take 5 more.

DAVID HARPER: Go on.

At 15.

At 20.

At 20.

Oh, he's working the room for you guys.

Yeah, well done.

25 on the other side.

Yes!

Come on.

Hey, he's spotted a gem in there.

It's a slow burner.

It started slowly now it's getting there.

At 25 pounds.

It's not so bad.

25's not so bad.

It's not so bad.

Only lost 20 quid.

I think we've done remarkably well.

That's all right.

TIM WONNACOTT: Agreed.

About what David thought they might fetch when he first saw them.

I don't feel bad about that.

Do you feel bad about that, Hayley?

It's a preview [INAUDIBLE].

I would have liked it to have been a bit more than that.

TIM WONNACOTT: Stephen's turn.

He spotted the sling, remember.

Her mother has one in the downstairs.

Excuse me.

Yeah, she does.

She has it on the wall.

- So-- Happy memories.

Yes, exactly.

Yes, so let's blame mother.

- Yes.

If it all goes wrong.

10 pounds for it.

10 on the internet now.

At 10.

Now 15 in the room.

- Oh look at that.

- Ooh, there we go.

At 15.

At 15.

Have 20 on the internet now.

Doubled.

DION HARRISON: At 20.

At 20.

And 5.

See, this is actually how you're supposed to do it.

Yes, it's supposed to go up and up and up.

DION HARRISON: I have 25 pounds on a bid for him, and I'm selling in the room.

DAVID HARPER: Well done.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Well done, Mum.

Yeah, well done.

Well done.

Phew.

TIM WONNACOTT: Yes, take a Girl Guide badge for profit making.

I was still hoping it would make a little bit more.

Oh, stop moaning.

Well, it's cheaper than [INAUDIBLE] and getting a first aid kit, isn't it?

TIM WONNACOTT: Any doting grandparents here for Hayley's doll's house.

And a very sweet occupant.

I know.

[INAUDIBLE] She's like little Miss Havisham.

Oh she will.

Hope it doesn't set fire to our house.

Exactly.

So how much can we say for this one?

30 pounds to start in.

Quite right.

Ah, there you go.

DAVID HARPER: Go on.

Come on.

20 then.

20.

20 on the left hand side.

At 20.

Now we're looking for a profit.

Yeah, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

30.

30 now.

- 30.

Keep going.

- Yes.

[INAUDIBLE] 35.

Well done, guys.

DION HARRISON: I have 35.

I have 40.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: 40 At 40.

That's called double bubble in the trade.

Doubled your money, yeah.

DAVID HARPER: Come on, get another one.

I'll take another 5 then.

Now at 40 pounds.

And the bid's in the room.

- That's all right.

- Very nice.

- Double bubble.

- Ah, 40 quid.

- Happy with that?

- Yeah, well done.

Congratulations.

Well done.

TIM WONNACOTT: Now they've both had a good lot.

Let's hope this one doesn't hit the buffers.

Oh, she's been thinking about that for days.

TIM WONNACOTT: Yes, it's Stephen's bit of railway-ana.

What do we know about it?

Do you know anything about it?

It's worth a fortune.

Yeah.

You never told us that before.

We didn't.

20 pounds for him.

I have 20 bid then.

Now at 20.

At 20.

At 20.

At 20.

I'll take 5.

All it's worth here now at 20 pounds.

Oh 25.

There you go.

DION HARRISON: 30.

At 30.

At 30.

At 30.

At 30 pounds on the bid for him now.

The bid's in the room at 30 pounds.

Are you all quiet?

- Small profit.

- Yeah.

Good fodder.

Yeah.

TIM WONNACOTT: Not a fortune exactly, but not to be sniffed at either.

I'm not comfortable.

You're not comfortable?

And it's not that I'm pessimistic as you well know.

Yeah.

It's just-- you just feel anxious.

Yes.

It's like-- And responsible.

--sending your lovely children out into the world and hoping they go to a nice home.

HAYLEY MILLS: I know.

But I don't-- as long as I got cash for it I don't care.

TIM WONNACOTT: Now I'm fairly sure that Hayley's health and safety posters failed to have much effect on the seismic events of 1968.

- They match your trousers.

- Yes!

Do they?

I thought were green.

What color is that?

- A kind of yellowy green.

- A yellowy green.

Well, I'm colorblind so I wouldn't know.

I'm sure you have a trouser for every [INAUDIBLE] Are you colorblind?

I am slightly colorblind, yeah.

That explains so much.

It explains so much.

How much can I say?

30 pounds for them.

Go on.

Should be that all day long.

DAVID HARPER: Oh.

20 on the internet now.

That's a [INAUDIBLE] At 20.

At 20 pounds for him.

DAVID HARPER: Come on.

DION HARRISON: And 5 in the room.

25 in the room.

- 30 online.

- Come on.

At 30.

At 5.

At 35.

At 35 pounds on the bid for it now.

I'd give you more for those.

They're amazing.

DION HARRISON: At 35 now.

Is everybody quiet?

Tiny, tiny profit.

Five pounds.

We paid-- we could have paid the commission.

- I was surprised by that.

- I know.

- Because I thought-- - I know.

Commission.

Haven't we told you about that?

Is that a loss?

No.

TIM WONNACOTT: Sorry, Hayley.

Take a few pounds off.

See now that makes me worried for our big poster now because I thought they had man cave.

Very man cavey.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: If people don't even remember "Del West" and what a marvelous cowboy he was.

Exactly.

TIM WONNACOTT: Well, they may have the other half or maybe speak Italian.

So you know the theme tune to this movie?

Yes.

Give us the theme tune.

(SINGING) Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.

TIM WONNACOTT: Well, he was in "Brassed Off."

How much can we say for it?

WOMAN: 20.

I have 20 pounds on a bid for him now at 20.

More than that.

Come on.

25 and 5 and 5.

Have 20.

Have 30.

Ooh, there's-- ooh, there's bidding guys.

DION HARRISON: Many famous names on there.

Have 35 bid for him now.

At 40.

At 40.

At 40.

At 40.

Keep going.

Have 40 pounds on a bid for him.

And five sitting down.

At 50.

- Oh, he's keen.

[INAUDIBLE] Someone's keen, yeah.

DION HARRISON: 50 pounds I'm bid.

At 50 pounds on the bid for him now.

Oh come on.

More.

DION HARRISON: It's still in the room.

Read some of the names out.

DION HARRISON: At 50 pounds is everybody quiet?

Oof.

I suppose it's half the money for half a poster, isn't it?

TIM WONNACOTT: That's rather a brutal way of putting things.

Hayley Mills, get me out me funk.

It was a good choice.

Thanks, mate.

It was-- it was well worth the gamble.

See, now I'm happy again.

Yeah.

TIM WONNACOTT: From Italy to Finland.

How far can Hayley's discus go?

We paid 29.

Oh, I did.

I got a pound off, didn't I?

Yeah, you did.

You get a pound off.

Oh, well done.

It is worth it?

You're a fierce haggler.

The only thing we can tell you about this it's engraved with the Finnish word for bear, isn't it, Fran?

It means bear?

Must be the model.

I've no idea what type of bear it was.

How much can we say?

This could go on all day.

20 pounds for the discus.

Come on.

Come on.

DION HARRISON: 20 bid.

Thank you at 20.

- Ooh, straight away.

- There you go.

- You bidding?

5.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: 25.

Come on.

That's great.

DION HARRISON: Have 25 pound bid for him now.

I have 30.

- Yes!

DION HARRISON: Are you bidding, sir?

Come on, sir.

That's good.

DION HARRISON: 35.

Come on.

DION HARRISON: 35.

DAVID HARPER: Go on.

DION HARRISON: 35 pound bid for him.

40 in the high chair.

Oh, that's better.

At 40, and 5.

At 45.

This cannot make more than our film poster.

DION HARRISON: 45 pound.

- Come on.

One more.

- Bid's on the right-hand side.

DAVID HARPER: Exciting, this.

45.

45.

- Ah, very nice.

- We made money on it.

We did.

Very nice.

16 pounds.

16 pounds.

TIM WONNACOTT: Do you know, those two have recovered from their shaky start.

You've not lost it, Mills.

No, no.

I don't care what they say.

You're worth a pound of anyone's discus.

TIM WONNACOTT: And in the brown corner, Stephen's magazine collection.

20 pounds to start them off.

Come on.

MAN: 10.

Have 10 in the room then now at 10.

At 15.

At 15.

At 15 pounds this lot.

Gentlemen standing up at 15 pounds.

I'll take another 5.

It should be worth far more.

At 15 pounds.

Have 20 than now.

At 20 pounds for this lot.

Come on.

DION HARRISON: I'll take another 5 then now at 20 pounds.

I think there's Jack Dempsey there and all sorts.

[INAUDIBLE] DION HARRISON: At 25.

At 25.

All it's worth to you now.

It's an internet bid at 25 pounds.

All quiet.

Oh.

Very disappointed.

But it was looking really bad about 10 seconds ago.

Yeah.

TIM WONNACOTT: Positive thinking, David.

I mean, not any of us are really doing amazingly though, are we?

Well.

Now we've got-- Oh well, yeah, watch out.

Here comes the trunk.

TIM WONNACOTT: Yes, very nice but very pricey.

Hayley's big buy.

What's it like on the inside?

- Oh, it's beautiful.

- Is it wood?

It's lined with material.

It's got two lovely carpets.

Got a lovely smell to it.

[INAUDIBLE] - Oh yeah.

- It's mothballs really.

Bit like the Roller.

Yes, that's a distinct smell.

Childhood.

It's got a lovely smell to it, mothballs.

What?

I like mothball smell.

Like a faint mothball smell.

He was raised by moths.

Yeah, clearly.

100 pounds can we say for him.

How many?

MAN: 50.

50 pounds I'm bid.

At 50 pounds.

Come on, but more than that.

But it looks in real life.

I've 60.

I've 70.

At 70.

At 70 pounds I'm bid for him.

Come on.

We've got a long way to go here, Hayley.

Oh dear.

DAVID HARPER: Come on, we've got all day.

DION HARRISON: At 90 on the right-hand side.

At 90.

At 90 pounds bid for him.

100.

Thank you.

At 100.

At 100 pounds bid for him.

100 pounds.

All quiet.

DAVID HARPER: Ouch!

- Oh, is that it?

- Oh.

- Is that it?

Is that it?

- I know.

- No!

That's a whacking loss, isn't it?

- That stung.

- But you were expecting it.

You went into it with your eyes open.

And your intentions were nothing but honorable.

Yeah.

TIM WONNACOTT: Agreed.

It's a very good thing.

I'm still proud of it.

I still love it.

- Yeah.

Would you have bought it again?

TIM WONNACOTT: I think we know the answer to that.

Finally, at the opposite end of the spectrum we present Stephen's favorite buy.

I'm rather partial to them, Hayley Mills, like I am of you.

Aw.

Because they're old and a bit cracked.

- Have 20 on the internet now.

- That's 20.

- Straight away.

- [INAUDIBLE] DION HARRISON: And 5 and 5 and 5.

This is it.

No hesitation.

Think we've still got a chance of winning here so don't worry.

DION HARRISON: At 5 and 5 and 5.

At 35.

- Well done.

Good spot.

Very good spot.

At 40 behind [INAUDIBLE] Yay!

DAVID HARPER: On fire.

So when people say tea services don't sell, we've proved them wrong.

At 40 pounds.

Are you quiet and away at 40 pounds [INAUDIBLE] Well done.

Well done.

Doubled our money.

Well done.

Double bubble.

TIM WONNACOTT: Yes, a happy ending.

Let's go do some calculations, shall we?

All right.

[INAUDIBLE] Let's go.

OK. TIM WONNACOTT: Hayley and David started out with 400 pounds, and after auction costs they made a loss of 133 pounds and 10 pence, so they end up with 266 pounds and 90p while Stephen and Christina, who began with the same sum, made a much smaller loss after costs of 40 pounds and 60 pence, meaning that with a final total of 359 pounds and 40p they are our winners.

HAYLEY MILLS: Well done.

Well done!

DAVID HARPER: Yeah, well, well done.

You've broken your Harper duct.

I know!

DAVID HARPER: I know.

CHRISTINA TREVANION: Thank you.

After 45 years it's taken.

Oh, and I-- it's my fault.

I know, but it's been worth it.

It's been worth it honestly.

I suppose we've got to go now.

You're going to drive off in the Rolls-Royce into the distance.

Yeah.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Put your foot on it, Mills.

Let's see how far we can go.

HAYLEY MILLS: OK. STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: Thanks for the education.

Any time.

- Au revoir.

- Bye!

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

Bye!

TIM WONNACOTT: Off they go, but they might very well be back.

Can we make a date to go antiquing together just us?

Yeah.

STEPHEN TOMPKINSON: And then show off.

HAYLEY MILLS: [LAUGHS] [THEME MUSIC]
