VOICEOVER (VO): Some of the nation's favorite celebrities... Sensational!
VO: ..one antiques expert each...
I know what you need, you need a history book.
VO: ..and one big challenge - who can seek out and buy the best antiques at the very best prices... What is the man saying?
VO: ..and auction... 55, a new bidder, thank you.
VO: ..for a big profit further down the road?
Who will spot the good investments?
Who will listen to advice?
And who will be first to say, "Don't you know who I am?!"
Time put your metal to the pedal.
This is the Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
Yeah!
Yeah, you're right.
This is a 1963 Aston Martin.
It moos, hah-hah, no purrs, actually.
And how could you possibly beat that?
Well, with two achingly cool icons of the silver screen.
And sexy with it.
VO: It is difficult to hear the words "Bond babe" without thinking of HER.
She's the original Avenger, turned Bond girl, turned Cool Britannia legend... Get outta here now.
VO: She's... (CLEARS THROAT) Miss Galore.
She's Honor Blackman.
HONOR (HB): Now, how much do you know about antiques?
BRITT (BE): Well, I really don't know that much about antiques.
I opened some storage boxes and I found photographs of myself the size of this car.
VO: And this erotic Nordic goddess has been in our hearts since the swinging '60s.
One-time wife to Peter Sellers and Bond's sidekick in The Man with the Golden Gun.
Look at that tummy.
Do we need to discuss my age?
VO: She's Miss Goodnight - she's Britt Ekland.
HB: You've had some marvelous cars, haven't you?
BE: I have, yes.
My first car was a Lotus Elan.
My second car was a Bristol Viotti.
My third car was the brand new Mercedes and then I had a Maserati Ghibli and in one of my sheds... VO: Wow!
Two sheds!
As celebrated and capable as they are, we can't expect these fabulous girls to go it alone, so we've got them some eye candy.
CHARLIE (CR): Oh... Sir!
VO: He's a veteran auctioneer and Road Tripper.
But he's occasionally lost for words.
(THEY LAUGH) CHARLES (CH): He is mounted with nuts... VO: He's now fully recovered.
He's Charlie Ross!
That is the worst thing I have ever seen in my life.
VO: And I know what you're thinking.
Who's this daring, demonstrative, Derbyshire dandy?
Well, I'll tell you - he's a fine young auctioneer.
He's Charles Hanson.
CH: Cross breeding rabbits with chickens?
MAN: Yes.
CH: And it worked?
No, of course not.
VO: OK, so he's not the sharpest tool in the box!
And, whilst the Bond babes enjoy their cool wheels, our experts have to make do with a petite 1967 Triumph Vitesse.
My dad had one of those.
CH: Ooh, my God.
CR: We are with two of the most famous actresses to have been on the big screen.
I can't wait, Charlie, I really can't wait.
You and I, we are going on a double date.
(THEY LAUGH) I hope that my antique expert is not a young man.
It's been over 25 years since I last had a young man, so let's hope that he's old and fat.
HB: I don't want mine to be old and fat, I want him to be very knowledgeable, to make up for me.
And I hope fun, sense of humor, that's all.
CH: Hot, hot, hot.
(LAUGHS) VO: Now, you be careful what you wish for, girls!
Now, let's see where we're going.
Cambridge kicks off the competitive road tripping - ending at auction in glorious Greenwich, southeast London.
So, today's mission begins in this handsome, sun-drenched university city.
Home to punting, cycling, studying and hopefully shopping.
CR: Be careful of the bicycles, there's a lot of bicycles in Cambridge.
How do I look?
You're looking absolutely gorgeous.
No, seriously... You've had a haircut, haven't you?
Well, yeah, well, I thought, you know, we're meeting some serious talent, might as well try and look the part, OK. Shall we pull a pose?
Best behavior.
Absolutely.
CR: Ladies.
BE: Hello.
CR: Hi, I'm Charlie.
BE: I'm Britt.
You won't know me.
Is it Honor?
Lovely to meet you.
HB: And you.
CR: How's her driving?
It's absolutely brilliant, actually.
Is it?
It's a very difficult car to drive.
First go off.
I'm sure it's not easy.
Allow me to take your coat, my dear.
Thank you.
Are you a car person, Honor?
I like motorbikes, but not now.
Oh, dear, I'm all of a flutter!
Now, we've got to pair up, girls.
This is how we do it.
What do we do, eeny, meeny, miney, mo?
Ole, dole, doff.
Kinke, lane, koff.
Koffe, lane, binke, bane.
Ole, dole, doff.
There we are.
(MOUTHS) What, er, what is all of this?
CR: I think he's lost for words.
CH: Why don't I go with Britt?
CR: Yeah?
Because, you know, I'm the younger one of us two, and a bit more... HB: Oh, that's a bit much!
BE: See, see?
CR: My word!
VO: Charles, how could you?!
Yes.
Honor, I will be honored to take you shopping.
Yes, right, right.
And you come shopping with me, let's leave these two.
Alright.
After you.
I knew it, I knew they'd give me the young one.
I'm delighted.
VO: Good luck everyone... especially Britt!
Ha.
You'll need it.
You've got £400 per team, instructions to shop, and remember - if you're captured we must deny all knowledge of your actions.
Oh, my God.
How long have you had your license?
About 10 years.
10 years?
Yes.
I'm quite in control, I think, just, you know, driving an iconic lady to me is just priceless, you know, more than any antique in the world, I've got you in the car with me.
BE: We're talking antiques now, aren't we?
Yes, yeah, we are, yeah we are, sorry, sorry.
CR: Almost too good weather to be shopping, isn't it?
HB: The kind of shopping I can't bear is for clothes and this I'm really looking forward to.
Look in the window.
Can you see... ?
I know.
So many things.
Ooh!
Yes.
You're going to have to concentrate here, Honor... Oh, I know.
It's not going to be easy.
There's so much to choose from.
CR: We'll find something.
HB: Will we?
CR: After you.
Are you courting?
No, that was beautifully put.
Are you looking for love?
No.
I've got a dog.
VO: Crikey, Charles, you're not wasting any time mate!
Moving in.
HB: Oh, my goodness, look at that.
CR: Do you like it or not?
HB: No!
Thank God for that!
We're on the same wavelength here, Honor.
CR: I have to say... HB: Yes... ..that's awful, isn't it?
There's so much.
VO: I know, there really are loads of items in David Theobold Antiques crowded shop, and here, for your shopping enquiries, is owner, Mr David Theobold himself.
Honor?
Yes?
How's it going?
Erm... delicate shapes don't seem to work any more for the present generation and it's the present generation in general that's buying.
VO: Yep, I'm afraid it's us delicate people who like the delicate things, darling.
David, what I know is popular are great plates that you put on the kitchen wall... Mm.
..that... pretending to be a farmhouse, so many people build wonderful kitchens and that's what they try to achieve - do you have anything...?
There are one or two in the window.
Are there?
Yes, I can show you these.
Forward, lead me.
VO: Oh, well, we're just getting started and Honor has a plan already.
You know, that's a decent sized one... Yeah... ..and it's in beautiful condition.
It is.
CR: I like that visually.
HB: So do I.
You see, it's Davenport stoneware.
CR: Yeah, yeah.
HB: Right?
1810, 1815.
VO: Now that's what I call a proper antique.
Potter John Davenport began making his fine earthenware from 1785, and this handsome, decorative meat dish is a fairly early example, hence the price of £215!
Almost as much as a joint of meat would cost today to put on it.
Hah!
CR: The label with the price on it is very faded.
And it's... You mean it's been in the window for a long time?
Exactly!
You've hit the nail on the head.
So, therefore, do you think it was priced a little high CR: to begin with?
HB: Oh.
Well, I don't know.
If you bought that, Honor, I would be right up behind you.
Right.
Well, David, don't let it slide off, whatever happens.
VO: So, the pressure's on, Honor - is this the big plate you were hoping for?
And can you risk the investment?
What are we trying to do?
Are we trying to make money?
HB: Make money.
Make money.
CR: Yeah.
I love that, but unless David can do that for, you know, near £100, you're going to be risking a lot of your money.
Presumably you can't do that for £120?
DAVID: It's a loss.
Think of the taxman - he'd be so cross if you showed a loss in your books.
Yes.
If I give you a couple of photographs you could sell them...
Yes!
A signed photograph of Honor Blackman.
Yes.
Well, in that case, yes.
CR: (LAUGHS) CR: Honor... HB: Yes?
Yes?
You're a star, you're a pleasure to shop with.
One hundred... and 20.
Thank you very much indeed.
HB: 120?
CR: Yeah.
I thought we were getting it for 100.
Oh, you thought we were getting it for 100?
No, I did say 120 in the end, didn't I?
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
I'm afraid I did.
OK, right.
If it sells for 110, you can... shoot me.
Yes!
VO: Well, a license to kill already.
Not bad for a morning's work!
Well, well done you!
What did you want?
A big plate.
Yes.
CR: What have we bought?
BOTH: A big plate.
CR: You bought a proper antique, you know... HB: Can't be bad.
VO: Well done to you both - the day's just beginning and there's a chunk of the early 19th century in your swag bag already.
However, Britt and Charles have yet to find an antique... or, indeed, a shop.
If I could be a born again man and I could choose any male specimen, Roger Moore, absolutely and if you ever see him, just tell him that.
I will.
He is the ultimate male, in my opinion.
He was gorgeous.
Absolutely.
I mean, Sean was your rough and ready... BE: Yeah, grr... ..but Roger was smooth and sensual and... BE: Roger was sophisticated.
CH: Oh, yes.
He was a sex object.
He was, he was.
If we are going to talk about physical, I go for more... Suave, sophisticated?
No.
Skinnier... Skinnier?
That's good.
VO: They don't come much skinnier than you, Carlos, but this is not a date.
I'm sorry, everyone, especially Mrs Hanson.
Look, look, look, antiques.
CH: Oh, my goodness.
Yeah.
BE: Excellent.
CH: Let's do it.
VO: Steady!
Hold on, hold on.
It's done on purpose so I can escort you out.
VO: He's such a gent, Charles.
Well, tries to be.
Hold on, Britt, I can't open the door.
I'm sorry about this.
Britt, just push on your door a bit please.
VO: (LAUGHS) Charles!
Britt, just push down on the handle, just pull that really hard.
VO: Dear, oh dear, oh dear!
Gets a celebrity, now look.
CH: Hold on Hanson, think about it, Hanson, why ain't the door opening?
VO: Anybody got a coat hanger?
Look out, here she comes.
Ooh, that's good.
CH: After you.
VO: Quite nimble.
VO: So, that went well, Charles.
But you have at least found a shop.
Ha!
Welcome to The Hive, with Bill and Julia in attendance.
CH: There's some really nice things here, Britt, just let them talk to you, Britt, let the objects talk to you.
Look at this.
This I know nothing about.
It's an Egyptian bronze of a royal lady and that's fourth century BC, so I think it came, you know, from the time of the great age of the pyramids and that's history, isn't it?
When you look at these things and you think my goodness me they can go back two or three thousand years and you can handle them and believe that history, doesn't that... BE: No.
CH: ..get you excited?
No.
It does not excite me.
VO: Oh dear.
Top marks for trying, Charles, however, you might need to try even harder.
This girl knows what she likes.
I hear what he says, I understand what he says, but we don't have the same taste.
I think we do.
When you talk about taste, what I mean is the things...
I can see something specific, as can you.
Yes.
We might not see the same object.
Yes.
We have a chemistry?
We have a chemistry, yes.
Yes.
And it stops the minute the camera goes off.
Yes.
Yes.
He's a married man, his wife wants children.
VO: Right, let's leave this awkward, embarrassing, modern relationship and relax with something more old fashioned, like Charlie Ross, for example.
Forward into battle.
I'm afraid I'm not Sean Connery.
I'll just have to do today.
(ENGINE STALLS) Sorry about this.
(ENGINE STARTS) Look, the Cambridge Antiques Centre.
HB: Ah!
CR: This is where we need to be.
VO: Indeed it is, Charlie, with owner Steve here to help you, although perhaps you've met before?
You're giving me a knowing look.
We've met before?
A long time ago.
How long ago?
17 years.
I ask myself, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Yes, yes.
Ah, well, he's smiling, so it can't be bad.
We used to come to your saleroom a lot, then you came to DEALER: my house when I moved... CR: Yep?
..because I couldn't take all my stuff with me.
And we sold some of it?
You sold most of it and got me jolly good prices.
Jolly good prices!
That's a stroke of luck, isn't it, Honor?
He's gonna look after... VO: In my experience and knowing what I know, I'd say there's good karma here.
CR: Very decorative little pine miniature chest of dr... well, it's more like a wash stand because of course it's got a shaped back to it, but I love the almost oak leaf, maple leaf.
Traditionally Victorian in its style.
VO: A rather sweet and simple piece, at £88.
But will it turn Honor Blackman's discerning head?
You look as if you're... sniffing as if you've found something.
I've seen something that just might be a possibility.
Yes?
I thought it would make... ah, a little jewelry casket for someone's bedroom.
Yes?
I would change its knobs, to begin with.
Very decorative on the top.
Yes, it is.
I think it's only spoilt by the knobs.
You can always change a knob.
Yes, yes.
(THEY LAUGH) CR: So, what do you think?
HB: Well, I think it's very good for the purpose you suggest, and it would help somebody like me.
One necklace gets caught up with another necklace... Mm, mm.
He says, "For God's sakes hurry up!"
And you can't disentangle it.
You know what I think it would make at auction?
I'll guess.
65?
Oh, you're very good at this, aren't you?
Steve, is there, is there a monstrous discount on this or is there just a shaving to be had?
Not for you, Charles, but for Miss Blackman.
Ooh, ah!
I'll cozy up.
I'm going to, I'm going to leave the room.
And for you I'm going to half the price.
£88, so how about 44?
(SQUEALS) You're lovely!
Thank you very much.
No, no, no, you're supposed to now say "But how about 40?"
Ah.
I have to do that?
I'm not very good at that.
You have to haggle.
Yes?
Well, you've haggled for me.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
You're very welcome, it's my pleasure.
VO: Such is allure of the Bond girl, Steve has actually haggled himself down to £40.
Charlie WILL be proud!
I heard a squeal.
What happened?
HB: We can have it for 40.
HB: In... in... CR: Miss Blackman, 10 out of 10.
Where's the money?
Oh!
So like a woman.
Absolutely.
VO: Another able acquisition from our antiques avenger.
Right, forward.
VO: No wonder our dithering double agents want to creep up on the competition.
Those two, they're worse than children.
I can see Pussy Galore.
What about the chap that played Goldfinger, yeah?
Oh, he, he was a very nice man.
He said "How do you do", and Gert said... Go find out.
Go, go.
(HORN HONKS) CR: What is going on here?
(THEY LAUGH) How are you?
Very well.
We are cruising, we are happy, we are content.
Are we in your way here?
Are we... ?
Not in the slightest.
Yes, you are!
Yes you are.
CR: Oh, yes you are, sorry.
HB: Yes you are.
CH: OK. BE: Do you want us to go?
Yes.
Well... OK, fine... ..no, we... Fine, that's fine.
We have to do what we have to do.
VO: Well said, Honor.
With nothing yet in their swag bag, Britt and Charles must get to work.
Do you think I should wear moisturizer?
Of course you should...
But I'm a real man, you know, I'm a real man.
Yeah, and then you'll look like a real old man soon as well.
CH: I like this.
BE: Yeah, me too.
I have one in cut crystal and the top is silver.
I think it's something which actually... BE: I love cocktail shakers.
CR: ..although it's plated, a young, retro, Greenwich market... Yeah, no, I love cocktail...
I'm an expert at this.
What you do is...
Yes?
Put your crushed ice in here.
OK. You put, er, one measure of plain vodka... Wow!
Then you put a quarter measure of peach schnapps, and then you put one full measure of cranberry juice, then you do a Tom Cruise cha-cha-cha.
VO: Ah, so it's shaken, but not stirred.
It's excellent, my favorite drink in the world.
How much is this?
Ah, £18.
Too much?
BE: Yeah.
CH: If we offer £10.
It's got to be worth like £25, surely.
(WHISPERS) What's the best... Don't tell him.
The very best, for you, a £10 note.
OK, fine.
It's, it's, it's...
I'm hoping we might be able to offer eight.
I don't know.
We'll split the difference, nine.
OK. What do you think?
D'you know what?
I think it's a fairly... ought to be a safe bet.
BE: I'm 100% with you.
CH: Shall we go for it?
BE: Yep.
And a cocktail from it as well, later on?
CH: Made by your fair hands?
BE: That can easily be arranged.
Oh, my God.
What do you think?
£9, going, going, buying it, gone.
BE: Bing!
CH: We'll take it.
VO: Congratulations, Britt and Charles, a purchase finally made.
But are you keeping up with Pussy Galore, etcetera, next door?
You can't usually go wrong with a bit of silver and I just spotted this.
Pepper pots, and those are modeled as capstans from a ship and there's a set of four of them.
I think they would almost double up as salt and pepper.
Post war, 1948.
They're 98.
I'm going to whisper to you, then I'm going to run away because you are the ace negotiator.
VO: I think that sign means "try it at 50!"
- quite a drop from £98.
However, coded hand signals could be a good tactic today.
Bill would probably show me the door and probably give me a good spanking, but see if you can do something on those, I have faith in those.
HB: Yes.
CR: I'm going to run away.
Now, Bill, what do you think you could do for these?
BILL: I'd go 80.
£80.
HB: Because... BILL: That's a good price.
HB: That's all?
Could you make it 70?
75 and we've got a deal.
Charlie?
Bill can do it for 75.
It's not enough.
CR: We've gotta, we've gotta be hard here.
Can you do them for 65, Bill?
BILL: No.
CR: No?
BILL: £70.
£70.
CR: He said that very quickly.
70 quid?
Do you like them, Honor?
Yes, I think they're charming and unusual beyond belief.
Great!
We've got a deal.
VO: Meanwhile, Britt and Charles have a view to a killer item, at £39.
Right, let's just look at these... oops.
Oh, my God!
Sorry, Britt.
So, these are Cartier cards.
I know.
Priced at 39.
Heard of Cartier?
What d'you think I'm wearing?
The watch... it is Cartier, sorry Britt.
CH: Oh, the ring's Cartier.
VO: Idiot!
Sorry, Britt, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but you are just a classy...
Sorry Britt, come back, I'm sorry.
Come on, I'm sorry.
(HORN HONKS) Sorry.
Oh, wow, look, they're gilt... they're golden as well.
BE: I would say that they are not very old.
Now, this...
Yes...
It's gold, isn't it?
It's gold.
VO: Oh, don't be such an idiot!
I don't know what you do with a man like this.
You send him back home to his wife.
DEALER: Well, you certainly don't marry him.
CH: No, it is gold.
I like that, personally, for...
I saw it but I thought, no, I'm not going to go there.
OK, well, let me make it really, really tempting for you.
CH: Yes?
BE: Yeah?
Erm... how about a tenner?
Oh my God!
Oh!
My goodness gracious me!
That's how happy...
If you're so keen to sell them, that's really, really helpful... VO: Oh no, Charles - no!
You've just had a terribly generous 75% reduction... What kind of a man would try to haggle further?
I'm a hard, a hard man, so I would go in and offer £5 and just see if it's worthy of the opportunity, so...
Absolutely not!
Not for you.
You ask me.
You have no shame!
No, because we're in it together.
There, it's on a plate for you.
BE: The problem I have... CH: Look at me.
..is now... this wonderful man has to make a living.
We've already bought a cocktail shaker as well, haven't we?
Nine quid is not going to make his dinner!
I have a pension, don't worry about me.
You've got a pension?
And you can pay for your skin cream?
Absolutely, and for you the price can be £5.
But please don't haggle any more.
I never haggled!
Group hug.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind.
No, I don't mind at all.
VO: Sorry Steven.
Being kissed by Charles is not everybody's cup of tea.
We usually just go for handshakes on the Road Trip.
When you did the Bond films, Sean Connery was actually driving the cars, presumably?
Yes.
I'm now feeling suitably nervous driving you along.
There's a guy who's bought my helicopter out of Goldfinger and he's waiting to give me a ride and I'm... Oh, how fantastic!
..I'm waiting for him to give me a ride, yep.
VO: Doesn't Cambridge look lovely in the afternoon sun?
So unassuming, so tranquil, so learned, so full of spies!
Once the scene of the most serious espionage scandal in modern British history.
CR: Now, what about Odd Job?
CH: Oh, that famous hat.
Oh, that hat.
VO: In a dastardly, double-plotting detour from their shopping assignment, Honor Blackman is bringing our Checkpoint Charlie to the library of Cambridge University, uncovering the archive of Britain's secret history... or history of secrets!
Here they come.
There.
Won't you allow me, ma'am.
A man waiting to greet us, in your fictitious car.
VO: Sh!
No ordinary man.
He's on the inside.
He's librarian John Wells, so try not to blow his cover.
CR: How do you do?
Charlie Ross.
JOHN: Nice to meet you.
John.
HB: Hello.
CR: John, and this is... JOHN: Nice to meet you.
CR: ..Honor Blackman.
JOHN: Welcome to the library.
CR: Thank you very much indeed.
Do come in, come on in.
VO: The library has existed since the early 15th century, but is now contained in this handsome modernist structure built in the 1930s, which was Cambridge University's most politically tumultuous period, with some frankly dodgy students.
So, this is the Cambridge five.
Burgess, Philby, Maclean, Blunt and the fifth man, Cairncross.
These are the student record cards which were compiled by clerks in the university offices and you can see that it's just very standard academic careers.
They were recruited while they were in Cambridge in the 1930s.
They were spying for Russia...
But how did they get at them?
Did they... meet somebody, having a drink in a pub, or... ?
Well, Cambridge in the 1930s was a hotbed of Marxism and Communism.
The Communist Party at the time was seen as the bulwark against the rise of Hitler's Germany.
VO: Cambridge has always been a training ground for Britain's political elite.
With the great ideological schisms of the early 20th century, spy-masters turned their eyes to the new generation of potential political players.
Burgess graduated to work for the British Embassy in Washington, with Maclean working at the Foreign Office in London, both passing information to the Soviet Union.
The pair famously vanished without trace in 1951.
A press conference in Moscow five years later confirmed their defection.
But there is evidence of spying reaching way back into our past.
JOHN: This is a 12th century manuscript, a beautiful Anglo-Norman script.
It's William of Malmesbury's History of the Kings of England.
CR: Yep.
JOHN: And it includes the story of Alfred the Great and one of the stories which used to be something which every schoolchild knew is that he was a spy for a short part of his career.
When he was hiding out in Athelney, with the Danes all around, he needed to know more about what was going on in their camp, so he dressed up as a minstrel.
He hazards an enterprise of great daring and danger and goes into the Danish camp and comes out with all the information he needs.
How extraordinary.
And the date of that?
That was happening in 878.
VO: In war, a little bit of spying can go a long way.
HB: I suppose spying really is common sense, isn't it?
I mean, if you wanted to know what was going on in the other camps... CR: Yeah.
I mean, ultimately, over the years it's saved a huge number of lives, hasn't it?
Mm.
What dull lives we live.
Well, no, you've touched on a lot of this, Honor, haven't you?
VO: Indeed she has.
From William of Malmesbury to Ian Fleming and John Le Carre, espionage has always pricked our attention, making great stories, novels and, of course, films.
And as with all good fiction, the roots are often in real events.
JOHN: These are papers from the archive of a man called Samuel Hoare, who was later Viscount Templewood, and he was an interesting man.
He was a Conservative MP at the start of the First World War, and joined the army and became first section head in St Petersburg for MI6, and later sent to Italy as part of the military mission there, working for MI5.
What a fascinating career!
Isn't it, yes.
Ooh.
This is a letter from Mansfield Cumming to Samuel Hoare, giving him his instructions for St Petersburg.
CR: Yeah?
And Cumming was the first head of the Secret Intelligence Service, um, MI6 as it became... Yep... ..and you can see he's signed his signature in green ink, and if you remember the James Bond books, M... ..the spymaster there signs his letters in green ink.
Oh, right.
He always signed his letters in green ink and it's a trait of MI5 heads even today.
John Scarlett, who was until very recently head of MI6, confirmed that he still signed his letters in green ink.
Why do they write instructions?
Shouldn't everything be secret and only a walk in St James's Park, for two of you together?
VO: Obviously you should always burn instructions after reading.
Fortunately this was often forgotten - hence the wonderful double-dealing archive here at Cambridge.
Thank you very much indeed, John.
JOHN: It's been my pleasure.
CR: It's been fascinating.
VO: It's now time for everyone to come in from the cold.
Cambridgeshire must provide a debriefing and shelter for the night.
Sweet dreams, Road Trippers.
And no sleeping with the enemy - particularly you, Charles.
VO: It's 0-0-7... hours - ha!
- in the morning and our happy shoppers are straight back at it.
Concentrate.
I don't want you hitting cars.
Steady, Hanson, steady.
Don't kill an old man.
BE: You know, I don't think that people in general understand that being an actress and being a mother is probably one of the hardest professions, don't you think so?
Well, I think so, but I think probably a surgeon might say the same thing.
VO: So far, Pussy Galore and Agent Ross have shopped steadily, spending £230 on three items - the Davenport meat dish... ..the miniature washstand - with controversial knobs - and the silver capstan pepper pots.
Honor and Charlie have £170 left to complete their mission.
Take him by the hair, and remember my...
Yes, you couldn't do that with me, could you?
VO: Meanwhile, Miss Goodnight and her international man of mystery have played it very cool, spending just £14 on two items - the unstirred cocktail shaker and the appropriately stylish playing cards.
Britt and Charles have a healthy £386 left to exchange for antiques... or... information.
Naughty!
We're getting to know each other, aren't we?
Yeah, but business is more important than knowing each other.
We can do that after.
VO: Now, pay attention BBC 002, the Road Trip is relocating this assignment.
15 miles south from spy-infested Cambridge to the handsome town of Saffron Walden.
Yeah.
What we have so far is very, very cheap.
I'll buy whatever you like for you.
OK.
But within budget.
OK. Do we know where we are?
I haven't got a clue where we are.
I think we're probably back where we started.
VO: First to make it to this rich, new antiques mine are Britt and Charles.
Let's hope they can steal a lead on the day's shopping.
Here we are, Britt.
This is where now we've got to really go for it.
Last shop.
Don't put stress on me now.
I know, but I'm obviously thinking we've got an hour, an hour to shop.
Let's go, Britt.
OK, hang on, let me get my bag.
OK. Just pull your handle and we'll go.
I am pulling my handle.
VO: Oh no!
This is taking valuable shopping time.
I know, I know it is.
Just... let's think about this for a bit.
If you just turn that handle there upwards.
I did.
VO: Right, this could take a while.
Fortunately though, the wonderfully adept Honor Blackman has managed to disembark from that lovely Aston Martin and has brought Charlie along to lovely Lankester Antiques - Paul Lankester himself is limbering up for some tense negotiations.
Oh dear, I don't like that.
But perhaps we should buy something we don't like but we think is very Greenwich.
VO: Well, perhaps, Charlie, but you might want to think more about your iconic traveling companion.
Well, am I allowed to call you an icon?
Could you walk down the street?
Well, I mean, some people are absolutely enchanting, most people are lovely.
Yeah, yeah.
It was if they got drunk that it was difficult...
Yes, yes.
..because people feel they know you very, very well, because you've been on their television screens... Yeah, yeah.
I was called out for fights, of course, in The Avengers, if people were drunk, yes.
Oh.
Ask you to dance, and then say "You can't really do it, can you?"
and all this, and "I'll see you outside..." VO: How awful.
Surely no-one would want to pick a fight with the lovely Honor Blackman.
Still perhaps this tough, former leather-trousered goddess could offer our Charles some inspiration?
Rather than fisticuffs!
Paul, sell us something.
Well, there's a lot of bicyclists around in Greenwich I'm sure, and here's a very ancient Lucas King cycle lamp, but the interesting thing is it's a petrol lamp.
Can you imagine that?
Petrol.
Oh my goodness!
It's not in great condition.
CR: Great bit of history... HB: Fascinating.
I like the idea of you on a motorbike with this, Honor.
There's got to be a sentimental reason.
If I saw that at auction I would expect it would probably make between £20-30.
I'm asking 35.
Mm.
HB: You've just said... CR: Yep... ..it would get £20.
Between 20 and 35, I said.
VO: Hmm.
I've got a funny feeling that Charlie Ross is about to slope off... You know, for tactical reasons.
Right I'm going to disappear, Paul...
Right.
..and leave you at the tender mercies of Miss Blackman.
I'm sure she'll be safe... but will I?
Yeah... You know that we can't afford more than something like £10.
Goodness gracious!
I know, it's terribly sad.
Could you ever go that far?
How would you feel about giving me 25, so I just at least get my money back, and then hopefully you can make a profit?
Well, I have to ask the boss.
Are you not the boss?
Well, maybe I could be today.
Tell you what I'll do.
Yes?
Absolute rocky bottom price, £20.
How does that...?
You're a good man, Paul.
I shall call my partner.
Charlie!
Oh my goodness, I've had the call!
Paul has been terribly generous.
He's down to 20.
That's fantastic, isn't it?
I think so.
I think that's...
I just love that vision of you on your motorbike, Honor.
Yes, yes, I know.
Shall we go for it?
Yes, I think so.
We'll have a deal.
VO: Honor Blackman, you've done it again and no need for high-kicking in the car park on this one!
Oh, speaking of car parks...
This is taking... Britt, if you just turn your handle to about half past seven, pull it up... That's it, hold it there, so you've now opened it.
Hopefully, if I do this... it'll open.
Brilliant, brilliant, there we go, madam.
Old cars!
I know.
VO: Yeah, old cars and young auctioneers - a deadly combination!
Now, let's get you pair safely into an antiques shop, and leave the door on the latch!
Britt it's this, it's this way.
Where?
Right up here, Britt, come on.
Well, you suddenly know!
Follow me, Britt.
Yeah, well put your heels on and you'll walk the same speed as me.
Jeepers creepers Hanson, for the first time you could be in trouble.
What does he think he's gonna find?
You know what they say, Britt, when the going gets tough you and I get going, come on.
Come on Wonder Woman, let's strut your stuff.
VO: Now, Britt, you need to be productive today, darling - those bargains won't find themselves and the shopping moments will soon be behind you.
Actually, this is quite nice.
You know you mentioned art nouveau... Yeah?
Look at those nice lines.
No, I can't...
The only thing I don't like is the gilding on it, but I could live with it.
It's made by Doulton.
Yeah, I know.
It would date to around 1910 and you could use it for flowers.
It's got a lovely rim.
What was its use originally?
Have a guess.
Potty.
As a potty, exactly.
Under your bed... What would you pay for it?
I would say... nnnn... £23.
39, and you're quite right.
If we were going to make a silly offer you would offer £15 for it, because at auction it might make between 30 and 40.
BE: Really?
CH: Mm.
VO: So, without being too potty about this, every problem has a solution, and like all dealers, Paul, he's here to help.
Britt and I, we both quite like this, it's got a certain art nouveau style about it.
BE: Mm-hm.
CH: What's the best price?
It's £39.50, which isn't that dear to start with.
No, Paul... What would you say if I said that you could have it for £25, absolute minimum price?
We are quite desperate, aren't we, sweetheart?
Well...
I don't think we are that desperate.
No.
(WHISPERS) We are really.
We are?
Yeah, I think we are.
See, I don't see that we can't just give them the money.
Just shows that we have big hearts.
Oh, dear.
VO: Did she say heart?
Britt, have you really learned nothing from the last two days?
Clearly Charles has failed to bring out the dealer in you, but maybe he's got a plan.
If we tossed a coin, and it was heads we pay 20, if it was tails we pay 15, would you go for that?
Have you got a double headed coin?
You use your coin.
We'll use an antique coin over there, Paul, look.
Who's going to toss it?
I will toss it.
If you'd like to call.
But I...
I've never done this before.
VO: No pressure Britt... well, maybe a bit.
Look at me, look at the coin and think what it's going to come out at.
If you get it right, it's £15.
Yeah.
If you get it wrong, it's £20.
I've got a dog, I've got to think tails.
Come on, tails it must be.
Ready?
Tails it hopefully is.
It's tails.
We've done it.
Oh my God!
VO: Oh Charles.
You've finally managed to impress Britt, alongside your many other skills.
(ROMANTIC PIANO MUSIC) VO: What a sight!
(CHUCKLES) D'you know, that might just be the last deal of the day.
And with only the road ahead left to burn...
I mean I'm a very humble man, and to be in the car with you, Britt, is my career highlight to date, because you are the ultimate... you know, you are, in my opinion, the Bond girl.
You know, you are the Bond girl.
Where are we going now, by the way, Charles?
VO: Good question, Britt.
Charles is still out to impress, taking Britt to see a stonking great stately home - not his place, sadly, to introduce her to his parents - but the grand, fascinating Audley End House, stuffed with history and secrets.
CH: It was once the biggest house in England.
Did it shrink?
It was knocked down... BE: Oh, I see!
CH: ..many years ago.
Hello, is it...?
Charles Hanson.
Charles, yes, welcome to Audley End, I'm David.
Good to see you and my... BE: Hello.
CH: ..partner in crime.
BE: Hello, I'm Britt.
Lovely to see you, welcome.
VO: Tour guide David Glutton is here to help open some dusty, long forgotten chapters in the story of Britain.
Audley End House was completed in 1603 for Thomas Howard - the king's lord treasurer, a man with access to... well, quite a lot of money, I suppose.
DAVID: The very interesting fact about this house is that it was built with embezzled money.
Ah... You see the man that built it was lord treasurer to King James I, and he was taking money out of the till, so he got found out, went to the Tower of London.
CH: So, it was almost built by a crook?
DAVID: Built by a crook.
And this is the original Jacobean ceiling, yeah?
DAVID: It would have been plain white in those days, but, er... BE: Oh wow!
..but it's now embellished with color in the Victorian period.
See that one there?
Why did they leave that white?
DAVID: I don't know.
BE: Oh, you don't know?
..off hand, no I don't know.
It's very complicated...
This is your job!
..very...
Honestly.
Look mate, don't worry about it, OK. VO: Sorry David.
Our antiques agents are deadly, but not always subtle.
I feel almost a very small human being in here, as though I'm just very inferior to the actual room.
You are.
Thank you.
The last family lived here in the 1940s... OK. ..after which it was occupied by the Polish army for a certain period, the Special Operations Executive, and they trained about 300 troops in espionage.
VO: Ah, very clever, Charles.
Suddenly your mission becomes clear.
Special Operations Executive, brainchild of Winston Churchill himself, to coordinate guerilla warfare against Nazi invaders.
A secret organization of foreign nationals intended - in Churchill's words - to "set Europe ablaze"!
DAVID: Let me introduce you to Ian Valentine, who's written a book about the Polish occupation.
BE: Hello.
Britt.
IAN: Pleased to meet you, Britt.
During the Second World War, this was one of the most important houses for the Polish section of SOE, so this whole house would have been a secret training camp where up to 100 people were based and they were learning everything from secret documentation, how to create legends for themselves - so they had to have a pseudonym as a special agent... Ooh.
They had to learn how to use explosives, so it was basically an underground warfare course of a paramilitary nature.
They were parachuted back into, into Poland in civilian clothes, because obviously they had to fit in with the landscape, but then when they joined up with disparate resistance groups they then put on uniforms again, often, with a badge on their arm, which said "Armia Krajowa", which is "Poland fighting".
VO: And fight, they did!
The Poles overwhelmingly refused to collaborate with Hitler's forces.
Of the 316 operatives trained here and parachuted back into occupied Poland, 108 gave their lives.
Together with the Polish resistance, operatives fought and delivered to Britain the first vital intelligence on the Third Reich's appalling mass exterminations and development of the deadly V1 and V2 rockets.
CH: Isn't this all familiar to you?
But I was never a spy.
No.
I was a... a sex object.
It's very interesting you say sex object.
Um, there's various photographs of Polish soldiers here dressed as women.
BE: (LAUGHS) Because, what they found was that women could move around the landscape in German-occupied Poland often better than men.
VO: In celebrating the triumphs and sacrifices of World War Two, it's easy to overlook the bravery and efforts of our allies.
And, to find evidence of secret wartime activities at Audley End House, we must search, appropriately, underground.
CH: OK, Britt?
Where are we going, Ian?
This is the ante room below the butler's pantry in the house and it's one of the few rooms in the house that show evidence of requisition, so you've got labels on the wall here that show Webley .55, which is a revolver, a weapon, a Smith and Wesson .38 caliber, so this would have been an armory.
CH: Gee whiz.
It takes you back, Britt, doesn't it?
I wasn't born in '41.
No, but what I mean though is maybe your training for Miss Goodnight.
You know I didn't train as Miss Goodnight.
I'm an actress!
Sorry.
VO: Charles, you really do "counter" intelligence in so many ways!
Thank you very much Ian, CH: it's been wonderful.
IAN: Fantastic.
IAN: Nice to meet you both.
BE: Thank you.
Britt, we should be going.
My torch is not working, hold on.
Britt, you OK?
VO: The Special Operations Executive or SOE lasted until the end of the Second World War.
But as a new, chillier tussle for European power got under way, SOE personnel were incorporated into the developing MI6.
This corner of Britain sure has its place in our history of tactical resistance and espionage.
Is your... Are your clothes OK?
No.
Look.
It's a bit dusty down there.
I'm covered.
This is antique dust, antique history on you.
Dust is dust!
VO: You wanna brush her off, Charles?
Now, in the grounds of Audley End House, it's time to reveal your shopping secrets.
How was your date?
We've had a wonderful time, haven't we, Britt?
We've had a great time, yes.
CR: Would you like me to show you what we bought?
They're silver, they're pepper pots... What do you think, Britt?
I like them.
Very nice.
They're a set of six.
Are they quite heavy?
CR: Have you been drinking?
CH: No, why?
You said a set of six.
Sorry four, sorry, four.
CR: And with yours... CH: I'm panicking a bit.
Don't panic, we've just had a little bit of fun.
CR: Oh... CH: Look at that.
CR: Cocktail shaker.
CH: Exactly.
There's nothing in it.
Honor, what do you think?
CR: It's quite plain.
HB: Antique?
No, I don't think it's antique.
We are going back to the great age of jazz living.
Honor, do you like it?
HB: No.
(THEY LAUGH) CH: Britt... HB: I'm sorry.
VO: Honor is more of a champagne lady than a cocktail girl, but then you're not here to please each other, are you?
CR: Now... CH: Yes?
Old fashioned here.
Well, I like old... We like... We just liked the decoration on it.
I saw that.
I didn't like the decorations on it.
Oh?
I didn't like the white... No... No, neither did I.
You're absolutely in the same camp... And it's also missing one of its little... CR: Oh it's had a bit of damage.
HB: Yeah.
But then we all have damage.
Not beating about the bush, we paid 40 quid for it.
BE: That's a lot isn't it?
CR: Is it?
I would...
I...
I... yes.
VO: OK, Britt, it's never good to hold back on your feelings and, so far, you haven't.
Right, OK. We're with two strikingly beautiful ladies... Yep?
..who like to wear fine things and my dear lady here likes to wear Cartier.
CH: Oh, right.
CR: Oh, very Bond.
HB: Yes.
24 karat gold leaf.
It's the sort of thing you might buy to give as a present HB: for somebody... CH: Yeah... ..and you might pay 25 quid, if you had a nice friend.
CR: Yeah.
CH: These were a bargain, at... £5.
Oh, no!
No, no!
HB: Well done.
CR: Super.
Well, let's go from the sublime to the ridiculous.
We've got a bit of Davenport.
We are at about 1820.
BE: Visually it is very pretty.
It was marked up at nearly £300, we paid £120 for it and I know we've put our heads on the block, haven't we, here.
Yes, we have, but why did you tell them?
I wanted them to guess.
Because I was absolutely terrified he'd say he thought it would make 50 quid, but he's too much of a nice chap.
Now, look at that.
It's empty.
VO: Well, thank goodness for that!
I have in my kitchen in Sweden a bowl where I keep bread.
My friend Charles, he said flowers... VO: Oh Sh-arles, what were you thinking?
BE: 15.
CH: 15?
£15.
That is downright daylight robbery.
I know, I... Miss Ekland, how do you do it?
Well, I...
I'm just very giving.
Of myself.
Honor was a very keen motorcyclist and I just got very excited about the image.
Yes, I know you did.
Did you wear leathers, Honor?
Oh, stop it!
Sorry.
Did you wear leathers?
Yes, of course.
From top to toe?
Yes, of course.
CH: Wonderful.
HB: Yes.
CR: So, I wanted to try and find something relating to a motorcycle.
The old Lucas lamp, 1910, I should think.
Oh, it's fabulous.
It's a real bygone, isn't it?
Brmmm, you can just see Honor going there.
VO: Now, there's a surprise in store for everyone - a freebie from Saffron Walden.
Big-hearted Paul was so enamored by Honor, she got an unexpected item for nowt!
Oh!
Oh no!
How could you, Honor?
How could you?
Because it was free.
How could you?
He's novel.
HB: He belongs in the pub.
He's just garish and ghastly... CR: Nasty.
CH: ..but he'll sell.
VO: Well, a ghastly sailor rum decanter might be just what you need in maritime Greenwich.
But that's what I think - what do they really think?
I really, really, really think they're in trouble.
You do?
I do.
I think they've bought one good lot and that's those lovely silver peppers.
I think that platter, it's going to make about £60-80 and it cost them 120.
CR: I love a good cocktail shaker.
HB: Yes.
I do not like a cheap tinny cocktail shaker.
No, no, no.
It's gotta be chicer than that.
CH: When that wonderful, magical word came out - Cartier.
Pussy Galore looked pretty upset and poor Charlie Ross could not believe it.
BE: They thought we just bought an empty box.
Exactly.
But how could I be that stupid?
Well done you.
HB: Well done YOU.
CR: Brilliant.
Congratulations.
Mwah!
VO: Well done everyone - you've shopped till you've just about dropped, and there's only one thing left to do.
This Aston Martin DB5, it was a Bond car, because I think this is what... Sean had... That's right.
There was an ejector seat...
It could have been in this one.
..which I thought was rather wonderful.
VO: This epic adventure is entering its finale as our Bond girls and antiques experts travel due south, 46 miles from Saffron Walden to handsome Greenwich, in that great, great, great city of London.
VO: The very next day is auction day and, well, the experts at least have made it on time.
Safely delivered, Mr Hanson.
Are they here yet?
Convinced... Are you doubting... CH: No, I... CR: ..that Britt'll turn up?
No, I'm sure Brit will turn up because we had a real chemistry.
No, we really did.
You've got a new shirt on.
What do you think, seriously?
I think you look pretty dapper.
CH: Here now.
Here now.
Hi girls.
CR: Hi girls.
BE: Hello.
Hi.
Cool, be cool.
How are you, Miss Goodnight?
Good morning.
Great, you're looking gorgeous.
Mwah.
Are you ready for this extravaganza?
I'm thrilled to pieces about it.
Goody.
Arm in arm, certainly.
VO: And here we finally are - the Greenwich Auction Partnership has been selling fine arts, antiques and collectables here since 1999.
And auctioneer Robert Dodd has his own thoughts on today's celebrity offerings.
What a great lot, the cycle lamp and a decanter.
The person who collects drinks memorabilia would probably love the drunken sailor, but he don't want the lamp and vice versa.
The cocktail shaker, I'm not sure how many people use 'em.
It's a shame it's not silver, be worth a fortune.
The chamber pot is interesting, really, really interesting, cuz I don't know anybody alive today that hasn't got a toilet.
VO: Even Charles Hanson... allegedly!
So, our Bond girls began with £400 each.
Pussy Galore and Charlie Ross played it cool, spending a sweet £250 on four auction lots.
Whilst Miss Goodnight and her keen young man got shaken and stirred - but barely opened their purse, spending an embarrassingly small £29 on three auction lots - one, two, three.
VO: So, ladies and gentlemen, please live... and let die...
The auction is about to begin.
Oh, my God, I'm so nervous.
Hold my hand.
Please hold my hand.
I need you to hold my hand.
VO: So do I.
First up, we have... Sh, sh.
Here we go.
VO: Sorry, it's Honor and Charlie's lovely silver peppers to kick us off.
Tension.
Starts with me, straightaway on a bid of £70, so I've got, five, 80 with me, 85, 88, £90, I'm out.
95 there, 100 there, 105 there, 110 in front... CR: Yes!
..looking for 115, 115, 120, 125, 130.
Are we all done at £130?
148.
Yeah, give me applause, quick, quick.
That is a sensational start.
Miss Ekland, if we really need to shake and stir, now is the time, isn't it?
VO: I know the feeling!
And here it comes - Britt and Charles's plated cocktail shaker.
CR: What did you describe it as?
HB: Tinny.
CR: Tinny.
VO: Well, meow.
I'm so charming.
Bid's with me on that at £10 only, looking for 12 on this, it's worth all of that, 14, 15, I'm out, 18 there, 20 I need.
£20, looking for 22.
Why not?
You started it, you ain't pulling out now.
£20 here, 22 I need.
£22 I've got, looking for 24, 24... CH: One more... ROBERT: £24.
Thank you.
Great.
We are back in business.
You wait till they get to my little man.
VO: We'll have to wait for Honor and Charlie's drunken sailor, however their cute miniature washstand is next on sale, and who couldn't love that?
I'm still not fond of it.
No, I know.
And the bid's with me straightaway at £40.
Ooh, straight in.
Looking for 42 on that, Two, five with me.
Looking for 48 on this.
50 with me.
Looking for 55.
Are we all done?
Last time on the little chest at £50.
Charlie...
I think you're bloody lucky.
VO: Ooh, language Miss Goodnight, thank you!
And now let's raise the tone with your suave playing cards.
It's a great lot this.
Come on.
Looking for 18.
Hello!
It's Cartier, hello!
18, 22, I'm out, five there, 28, £30 I want.
£30 it is.
£2, you can't buy a Happy Meal for that, 32 there, 35... One more.
..at £35...
Yes, bid.
38 I've got, I've seen it.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Charles, I've seen it, don't get excited.
VO: Don't be sorry Charles - you need all the extra bids you can get!
Are we all done?
This time seated at £40.
CH: Yes!
BE: Yay!
Whoo.
VO: I suppose we could call a 700% profit a good day's work.
Hats off to Britt and Charles!
I'd like to kiss your hand.
That was brilliant.
VO: Charlie!
Now, what shall we do with this drunken sailor?
Honor and Charlie's novelty item is paired with the cool motorcycle lamp.
Let's hope one doesn't cancel out the other.
Will this be the thing that will divide your morale?
No, nothing will divide us, will it, Honor?
Nothing, ever.
There you are, ever, did you hear that?
Oh, this is an absolute stunning lot, this.
Serious, this is a big bid of £5.
Looking for 8...
It's gone quiet.
..8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, two, I'm out.
22 there, looking for 25... Well done.
Done at £22.
148, give him a round of applause.
You're taking both of these, sir.
I don't know which one you want, but you're taking both of them, you'll be on 22 now.
VO: A slender profit for Honor and Charlie and there's barely a few pounds between our celebrity teams now.
It's coming right down to the wire.
VO: Actually, it's right down on the chamber pot.
Sorry, that was a bit ill-judged!
Bid's with me on this at £12.
Oh.
Looking for 15...
I've got 18 there, £20 there, 22 I need.
It's worth all of that, madam.
£22 there, looking for 25.
25 there, looking for 28.
Are we all done in the middle of the room?
At £25.
635, give him a round of applause.
CH: We've made £60.
BE: Did we?
You've made £60.
I think you're in trouble, you two.
I think we are.
I think we are not in trouble.
VO: Let's see who's not in trouble - Honor and Charlie's Davenport dish is the last lot.
And needs some sort of profit to win the day.
Charlie, do you know what, I really don't know what's going to happen.
It could make £60, Honor, it could make £200.
Everything on this meat plate.
It's gotta start with a bid with me of £80 on that.
CR: Getting there.
Looking for 85, 90 with me.
Looking for 95.
CH: It's good, it's good.
CH: It's good, it's good.
HB: No, don't stop.
Worth a lot more than that.
90, looking for 95... CH: It's a good price.
Are we all done?
Last time.
You'll never get another chance.
VO: Oh, Charlie, do stop begging.
95, we all done?
Last time.
95 with the gentleman in front stood up.
Oh, no!
Looking for 100.
I've got 95.
100... You're a lucky man.
100.
Are we all done?
Last time on this platter.
At £100.
(THEY EXCLAIM) CR: Wasn't that wonderful?
We needed one more bid.
We needed one more bid to beat you.
Yes, I know.
We did it.
D'you know what, Miss Goodnight?
That really is good night.
VO: And it's goodnight from him.
So, our celebrities began with £400 each.
VO: After paying auction costs, Honor and Charlie made a sad loss of £2.36.
I mean, you just can't believe that, can you?
So, Pussy Galore and Ross - that's Charlie Ross to you and me - end their road trip with just £397.64.
Don't look so miserable, Charlie.
VO: Britt and Charles, meanwhile, did quite a lot with very little, gaining £43.98.
Miss Goodnight and the man who would be Roger Moore - that's Charles Hanson - end their road trip with £443.98.
What you call a miracle.
VO: All the money generated by our teams - including the double O's - will go to Children In Need.
Well done, well done, well done.
It was so close.
But we did win.
Absolutely.
Yeah, alright.
Yeah, OK, Britt, OK.
I'd like to rub it in... Charles and I probably won't speak to each other CR: for at least a week.
CH: Oh, course we will.
Let me show you to your car, madam.
Thank you very much.
Well done, congratulations.
VO: It's a bittersweet farewell between legendary Bond girls and smitten antiques experts, especially for Charles Hanson, I feel.
Have a third one, go on.
CR: Bye girls.
It's been wonderful.
HB: Bye.
CH: Bye.
CR: I don't want to go.
CH: Parting is sweet sorrow.
CR: Do not want to go.
VO: Fear not chaps - whatever happens on the Road Trip stays on the Road Trip, I promise.
