Raiding antiques shops on both sides of the border, they bag some booty in a last-ditch attempt to win the day. With his head full of saints and relics, Angus is drawn to two rather gothic purchases, while David gets in touch with his militant feminist side, snapping up some hat pins he thinks are of Suffragette origin. As they career towards the finishing line at an auction in Alnwick, it is the last chance for them to show what they are made of.

It’s the final leg with auctioneers Catherine Southon and Tim Medhurst, as they explore the rolling Cotswold hills in their 1970s off-roader.

But who will win out at the final auction in Devizes?
Avuncular veteran road tripper James Braxton takes a spin across the south east with youthful novice Izzie Balmer. She’s an auctioneer with a penchant for jewellery, but will she take the crown with her jewels? James gets waylaid by a heady brew of beer and witchcraft, and Izzie bumps into painted ladies and monarchs while discovering how the art of tattooing became popular in the west. A potter’s wheel encourages James to channel his inner Patrick Swayze, while Izzie reveals herself to be more in tune with famous Scottish bard Robert Burns. Tring Tring! Tring Tring! Hello? Yes, they’re on their way to the Hertfordshire town for auction. Who knows whether age or beauty will triumph?
The sunny Izzie Balmer tours Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire with her self-confessed curmudgeonly counterpart James Braxton. However, Izzie’s cakes soon have him eating out of her hand. Izzie goes on a strictly declassified mission to Bletchley Park, where code-breakers cracked messages from Hitler, while James dons a bandana and takes on the cream of English badminton. Mr Braxton takes a measured approach with some wooden rulers and applies his weight test to a Chinese table, and Miss Balmer is dazzled by an expensive ring made of lava from Mount Vesuvius and some glassware made of depleted uranium. Sparks may fly!
James and Izzie are off and running again, and the going is flat. That’s because they’re in the eastern counties of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. Izzie gets her skates on and finds her bandy legs on the ice for a go at a winter sport that began in the Fens, while our resident gourmand drops a 'clanger', a local delicacy that was once a staple food of those who laboured on the land in these parts.
Izzie and James visit the most easterly town in the country. Izzie potters about in Lowestoft learning about the porcelain 'trifles' manufactured for the 18th-century tourist trade, while James goes crabbing in Cromer. True to form, Izzie just can’t resist the attractions of chairs - Edwardian and Georgian. And James can’t say no to a gigantic wine rack to go with his French cafe table. James is all fired up by a cannonball from a 1672 naval battle, and Izzie is charmed by an art deco necklace. Will age or beauty win the day at auction in Banbury?
For the final leg of their road trip, Izzie and James are touring Izzie’s native Derbyshire, where she tempts the gourmand with some local delicacies.

Needless to say, Izzie continues her chair obsession with a matching pair. There’s a blast from the past as James is carried away by the news from the 1780s, while Izzie follows in the tracks of Winston Churchill. But whose will be victory at auction in Lincoln?
We’re travelling in style with antiques experts Arusha Irvine and Angus Ashworth, who are out for a wee saunter around the country lanes of Northern Ireland in their stately, yet elderly, Rolls-Royce. Angus gets a musical welcome to his shopping and has designs on a piece of Victorian furniture made from an unusual material. Roo, meanwhile, seems to be fixated on collecting one particular type of jewellery. But will their tastes match those of the bidders? On their travels, Roo hits the dancefloor to have a go at Irish dancing, while Angus is put through his paces when he trains like a US ranger. They end their journey crossing the Irish Sea and attending a Welsh auction in Wrexham.
Experts Roo Irvine and Angus Ashworth hit the B-roads of south west Wales on the second leg of their hunt for antique treasures. After losing a bundle on the last auction, Angus is having to stretch his tiny budget a long way if he has any hope of catching up with his rival. Roo has no such worries, although the luxury car lifestyle that their Rolls-Royce affords them has gone to her head. Amidst all the shopping, Angus takes to the water in a particularly Welsh boat, while Roo finds out exactly what the Welsh do with all those sheep. They’re heading to an auction in Carmarthen, where there might be a few surprises, one of which relates to Angus’s ancestry.
It’s the midpoint of the road trip for antiques experts Roo Irvine and Angus Ashworth as they continue to scour the shops of south Wales for all things antique. After a huge profit at the last auction, one expert takes a big punt on a piece of local history that might not be that local after all. Another has to shop more cautiously, having lost a bundle last time out. But it seems memorabilia from Hollywood’s golden age is very affordable. Away from the shops, Angus goes down to the beach to hunt for a particular Welsh delicacy, and Roo ventures on the high seas to find the story of a boat that has saved thousands of lives. They cross the border for an auction in the Cotswolds, but will the people of Wotton-under-Edge rate their purchases?
We’re wandering the West Country with antiques experts Roo Irvine and Angus Ashworth. As both of them are fans of a clotted cream tea, it’s little wonder why they’ve ended up in Devon and Somerset. Roo is having to make her money go a long way yet gets her hands on some hefty items. Angus, meanwhile, seems to find reminders of his home everywhere he looks. Away from the shops, Roo comes face to face with Exmoor’s equine inhabitants. Angus bares all at a once quite exclusive beach that can only be accessed by tunnel – though he wishes the water were warmer. The duo end up at an auction in Exmouth, where they find out if their lots bring them success or disaster.
It's the end of the road for two enthusiastic experts Roo Irvine and Angus Ashworth, hitting the antiques shops of the West Country once more in search of interesting artefacts to take to their final auction. Roo is having to manage her money very carefully, but she’s got her eye on a very large and dangerous-looking farming implement. Although he’s in a much better financial position, it’s Angus feeling the pressure, but he still has time to knock out a 'tune' on one of his purchases. Roo takes a break from shopping and heads off to a funfair where, as well as winning a coconut, she finds out how the travelling fairs helped to boost morale during the Great War. Angus heads to Plymouth to discover the turbulent history of gin, before having a go as a master distiller, chin chin. It all comes to the crunch at their final auction in Clevedon. Who will emerge victorious?

At the auction, the two experts go head to head with classic Scottish souvenir ware, but who’ll come out on top?
It’s the midway point for Phil Serrell and Steph Connell as they cruise Caledonia in their 1960s classic car. Steph becomes puppet master as she tours the Scottish Borders in pursuit of profits, but Phil is distracted by the local cuisine. At the end of the first day’s shopping, all he’s bought is some lunch. With a belly full of square sausage, will he have the energy to find antiques to take to the auction in Hamilton or just suffer from indigestion? When the shopping finally gets underway, it’s a chic French sign that excites Steph, while Phil continues to be distracted by food with the most peculiar buy of the trip so far - a very old potato chipper. One thing’s for sure: one huge antique purchase certainly won’t fit in the boot of the classic car.
We’re back in Scotland for the penultimate leg of this road trip with expert antiquers Philip Serrell and Stephanie Connell. Phil finds his sea legs with a spot of sailing in the Firth of Clyde, whilst Steph tries her hand at weaving tartan on a traditional Renfrewshire loom. Perhaps a new scarf for Phil? A visit to a salvage emporium means Phil is in his element as he discovers a cabinet that once displayed one of the world’s most expensive books. There’s a nautical theme when our pair navigate their way to an auction showdown in Dunfermline: Steph is up a creek with her paddle, while shipmate Phil’s binnacle makes waves.
It’s Steph Connell and Phil Serrell’s final adventure, and they’re crossing three counties in pursuit of north east England’s most profitable antiques. With Steph playing catch up, Phil makes the most expensive purchase of his trip, but will he be struck with buyer’s remorse? Will Steph’s discovery of a gramophone be music to her ears? Steph tries her hand at playing the bagpipes in Hexham, whilst Phil finds out how coal mining led to the development of Britain’s rail network. He gets the jitters before the final auction in Darlington, but is he right to be worried?
Antiques Road Trip veterans Catherine Southon and James Braxton are on the second leg of their five-part expedition, acquiring the very best antiques their budget allows. Pride and profits are at stake, and with Catherine in the lead after winning the last auction, James is determined to close the gap. This time they hit the road in Worcestershire, Warwickshire and the West Midlands. James ends up on stage for an impromptu performance at the Royal Shakespeare Company, while Catherine discovers the little-known history of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. Both experts go potty for papier-mâché, but will it be the pretty writing box or the pair of prop cannon that makes the most profit? That’s if James and Catherine make it to the sale room - there’s confusion as to whether they’re heading to the correct auction. Will they ever make it to Shropshire?
With a mere £70 between them, the battle is on! Catherine Southon and James Braxton are back on the road in their fabulous 1969 Rover, county hopping from Leicestershire to South Yorkshire. ... But when the gavel comes down in Elsecar, South Yorkshire there can be only one winner.
It’s the fourth leg of Catherine Southon and James Braxton’s road trip, and success at the last auction means one expert has double the kitty of their rival. There’s pride at stake as our pair head across Derbyshire and Leicestershire to an auction in Bedford in their stately classic 1969 Rover. The twosome’s shopping choices could not be more diverse. How do Catherine’s 18th-century caryatid carvings measure up against James’s very old bowl of marbles? And away from the antiques, Catherine gets steamed up on the heritage Great Central Railway, and James goes potty about pottery. It’s a romp and a half, and with a mix up over one item and a costly gamble on another, who will come out on top in the penultimate auction?
It is crunch time! With just six pounds separating them, veteran antiques trippers Catherine Southon and James Braxton battle it out on the final leg of their adventure. They travel through Cambridgeshire and Suffolk to Bourne in Lincolnshire in their smart and stately 1969 Rover P5. Along the way, Catherine meets a stallion in Newmarket, the home of thoroughbred horse racing, and even takes a ride herself. And James dips for wildlife on the Fens while discovering the influential banker whose passion for the environment led to conservation as we know it today. Back on the antiques trail, our terrific twosome seek out the best buys as they go head to head at the Lincolnshire auction. But will a jug in the shape of an owl or a biscuit tin in the form of a travelling trunk make the biggest profit?
Road Tripping favourites Charlie Ross and Izzie Balmer start their antiques hunt in the bucolic Cotswold town of Stow-on-the-Wold. They’re pointing their 1960s classic car to Wales via Gloucestershire in the hunt for profit-making collectables. Charlie’s campaign for brown furniture is momentarily put on hold when he picks up a military first aid kit for a quite intimate area. Can he secure it for a rock-bottom price? Izzie’s eclectic mix of buys include a toast rack and a tutti-frutti bowl. Izzie detours from the shops to head to the oldest Welsh mountain pony stud in the world to discover the incredible history of one of Wales’s native breeds. Meanwhile, Charlie finds himself in Cirencester unlocking the city’s fascinating past at the centre of the Roman Empire. The story is right beneath his feet! A nail-biting auction in Cardiff concludes this first leg, and an unexpected big profit puts one Tripper firmly in the lead.
Charlie and Izzie continue their B-road romp, pointing their classic car towards Surrey. Gemologist Izzie finds a piece of jewellery that causes quite a stir at auction, while Charlie’s passion for furniture in all shades of brown sees him uncover a very rare table that sparks a frenzy of bids at the Dorking auction. Ditching the classic car, Charlie heads down river in a desperate attempt to keep eels swimming, while Izzie looks up to the sky in admiration of Britain’s first female astronomer.
Experts Charlie Ross and Izzie Balmer find themselves weaving their classic car through the B-roads of the North Wessex Downs. Charlie decides to play Izzie at her own game and hunts for sparkly antiques. However, he's soon distracted by an exquisite Edwardian box that holds a surprise. Izzie rolls up her sleeves and rummages in a shop's store room. What goodies will she uncover? During a break from shopping, Charlie learns how an ancient Egyptian toe has relevance to advances in medical science today, and Izzie discovers how silk production moved from China to these shores and why the location of a mill made the area famous for the luxury fabric. Then it's on to an exciting auction in Exeter.
It's the fourth leg of our trip with experts Izzie Balmer and Charlie Ross. After a quick lesson in how to identify different wood, Izzie gambles on some brown furniture – but is it made from beech or ash? Charlie, meanwhile, ends up in a shop's storeroom and uncovers an antique he's never before seen but is confident will excite the bidders of Sidmouth. Izzie rests from shopping and goes on a nature ramble in the footsteps of one of the world's first ecologists, Gilbert White, the man who influenced Charles Darwin. And Charlie hears a story of industrial espionage, religious persecution and people smuggling, and why all this meant one small town would become world famous for... carpets. All roads lead to auction in the seaside town of Sidmouth. But who will be buying celebratory ice creams for the journey home?
Captain Izzie Balmer and first mate Charlie Ross are sailing to the Isle of Wight for their final leg of this road trip. It's an action-packed episode – Charlie rips his trousers while on horseback, Izzie ditches the classic car in favour of a speedboat, and will they miss the last ferry back to the mainland? ... Our experts go into auction battle one last time in Battle, East Sussex. Izzie's silver brooch is up against Charlie's silver pen, but which expert will take gold and win the final leg of the trip?
The start of a brand new Road Trip with a fresh-faced expert making a debut appearance. Old hand Angus Ashworth is showing 'new boy' Steven Moore the ropes in the first of a five leg adventure. Steven is a former dealer, auctioneer and museum curator and has been valuing antiques on the telly for years. However, has he got what it takes to beat veteran Tripper Angus when it comes to finding valuable antiques? Their 1960 Hillman Super Minx fires up in the Scottish Borders, and purrs towards an auction in the Lake District at Crooklands, near Kendal. As well as lots of top treasure seeking, today’s episode also includes the story of the country’s greatest archers and a trip to a part of Scotland that’s slowly revealing its secrets to archaeologists.
It’s the second leg of the trip and our two chums, Steven Moore and Angus Ashworth, plus their shiny, white Hillman Super Minx called ‘Betty’, are shopping their way along the byways of Scotland. Yorkshireman Angus bags something aromatic and coffee related, while Geordie new boy Steven plumps for a little treasure from his fellow tripper’s back yard in Yorkshire. But will their plans pay off at the auction? On the way, we visit Scotland’s largest lowland loch to find out about a fascinating former resident who made a dramatic escape from imprisonment and also take a crash course in chemistry. All before heading to the sale room at Kinbuck.
It’s the halfway point of our treasure trip, and experts Angus Ashworth and Steven Moore are still having fun in bonnie Scotland. Today they take the low road which is just as well considering their 1960s Hillman Minx has serious issues with hills! Auctioneer Angus, a Yorkshireman, thinks his Scottish name might somehow help him in the haggle. While Steven, a Geordie and former auctioneer, dealer and curator - prefers to subtly roll his ‘R’s… On the way to a saleroom back below the border in Clitheroe, they discover the well-spring of water polo and enjoy a very soggy Highland Games. Expect swimming costumes and caber tossing.
It’s the fourth leg of our trip with experts Steven Moore and Angus Ashworth and they get an awful lot closer to home. After clocking up the miles in lovely lowland Scotland their Hillman Super Minx will today be hitting the byways of Derbyshire and Yorkshire. Angus and Steven also visit a couple of venerable survivors from the Industrial Revolution and enjoying yet more delicious indigenous pastry products, before heading off to an exciting auction in the North Yorkshire town of Bedale. But will Angus’s crystal ball prophecy prove correct?
It’s the final leg with our experts and new-found chums Steven Moore and Angus Ashworth. Not to mention their sparkling white 1960 Hillman Super Minx called Betty. Today they’re out and about in the North East of England. The extremely circuitous open road having somehow taken hundreds of miles to get there from nearby Melrose in the Scottish Borders. There will be Whitby jet, the sheep of the beautiful North York Moors and even a trip back north to Dundee. Plus, Steven takes up painting in the footsteps of the ‘Northern Impressionists’ and Angus decides to go for gold and parts with a small fortune. He’ll need a good sit down afterwards though!
We’ve popped over the Irish Sea for a road trip that takes in all the delights that Northern Ireland has to offer. Antiques experts Louise Gostelow and David Harper are on the tourist trail in their classic Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet, seeing the sights and snapping up bargains. David discovers a whole new way of haggling - the Ballymena Bargain - while Louise, who employs a more traditional negotiating technique, gets to grips with a tin toy till. But will either of them cash in when they get to auction? David visits the oldest distillery in the world for a drop of 'uisce beatha', the water of life, while Louise heads to the coast to sample some seaweed. Then it’s off to the big city, Belfast, for an auction that goes on into the night.
Louise Gostelow and David Harper continue their adventures in Northern Ireland. As they hit the shops, David gets quite a shock when he gets his hands on a Victorian cure-all. He also sneakily muscles in on Louise’s strategy for success at the auction. She finds an ally whilst out shopping, someone who knows David of old and has a score to settle. But which tactic will reap the most rewards? Along the way, Louise discovers the inspiring story of a formidable Belfast woman who fought tirelessly for social change, and David travels back to Ireland’s ancient past to hear the tales of this land’s legendary heroes. Then it’s time to say goodbye to Northern Ireland as they head off to an auction in Lancashire for a dogfight.
Our two roadtrippers, Louise Gostelow and David Harper, embark on the north western leg of their antiques odyssey - as soon as they work out which way up the map goes. They hit the B roads in their old VW Beetle, scouring Lancashire and Cumbria for items of interest. After David came a cropper at the last auction, courtesy of a pair of pooches, he finds another four-legged friend to fall in love with. Louise makes a furry friend of her own, but she’ll have to do some extreme rummaging to unearth the all-important missing key. Along the way, Louise gets down to work in a dairy, finding out about the man who standardised the method for making Lancashire cheese, and David heads into the Lake District to find out why the woods around Windermere once rang with the sound of industry. Then it’s off to Cheshire for an exciting auction in Runcorn.
We’re wandering through Wales in the company of Louise Gostelow and David Harper, on the fourth leg of this trip. They’ll be practicing a few 'useful' Welsh phrases, hoping to endear themselves to the antiques dealers in the area. On their travels, Louise samples a British first - a drink that sold all around the world before it took off in its hometown - and David heads to the coast to hear the melodious sounds of a Welsh male voice choir, before unleashing his own vocal stylings on an unsuspecting audience. On the shopping front, Louise is hoping to be sitting pretty with her ever-growing collection of chairs - and the odd bit of ammunition thrown in for good measure. David, meanwhile, is trying to step out of his comfort zone. He’s on a mission to buy things he doesn’t have the first clue about. We’ll find out which strategy pays off when they hit the auction room in Liverpool.
We’re nearing the end of the road for our two adventurous antiquers, Louise Gostelow and David Harper. They’re out on the windy moors of West Yorkshire, hoping to bag an item or two to take to their final auction. Louise is looking to clean up as she gets her hands on a very early labour-saving device, as well as an illuminating bit of retro chic. David takes a shine to some theatre seats, but things get complicated when he tries to work out how many he can afford. He also has his eye on a saddle for a camel, which is bound to be indispensible in Yorkshire. Whilst out and about, David heads to Huddersfield to hear about the history of rugby league, before facing off against two big players of the game, both in reputation and stature. Meanwhile, Louise has her honour fought for by an actual knight in shining armour when she finds out about the development of jousting. Then it’s off to their final tournament in the seaside town of Scarborough. Who will emerge victorious?

Natasha splashes out on an expensive French sunburst clock, and a Victorian scent bottle has her swooning with the romance of a royal love affair.

Raj's expensive collection of uranium glass might glow in the dark, but will it go nuclear at auction? Natasha's head is turned by a posh suitcase from Fortnum & Mason, but is it a case of all fur coat and no knickers? And Natasha just doesn't see what's coming when Raj asks to borrow a tenner.

Which of them will clean up at the Colchester sale?

Being an auctioneer, Natasha is drawn to an inexpensive and unusual gavel, while Raj gets in touch with his inner child and parts with some of his pocket money for a vintage train set. Next stop? Leicester for a very important auction.
For Raj, the bells are ringing in Loughborough as they rally to the finishing line. But Natasha's in the ring, fighting back, channelling the spirit of a Nottingham bare-knuckle boxing legend. And for their last auction in Cambridge, there's a 1970s theme going on as Raj weighs in with a large set of standing scales with no old 10p coin to check they work. And Natasha can't resist thoughts of cocktail sausages on sticks and shells out for a lazy Susan. Natasha steps aboard a narrowboat antiques shop moored on a canal while Raj rummages in the den of a fantastic pair of foxes and emerges with perhaps his most unpredictable purchase to date. But whose cunning plan will win the day?

Auctioneer, dealer and Road Trip greenhorn Hettie Jago goes up against David Harper, the old hand still rocking those multi-coloured trews. Hettie, Somerset born and currently residing in Nottingham, and Barnard Castle’s David have a 1980s Mercedes 280 SL for their shopping extravaganza. Our pair begin with £1,500 each, and the winner will be the expert who wins the most auctions from their five trips to the sale room. The rummaging starts north of the border in the fair city of Perth, where Hettie gurgles for joy at a pair of fish jugs and David competes on the animal front with a beaded tapestry of man’s best friend. He also flings himself into a visit to the historic castle of Scone, where many Kings of Scotland were crowned. But who will rule the road trip this time around?
The second leg of our contest between David Harper and Hettie Jago includes a visit to the city of Glasgow, followed by the road south through the Scottish Borders. Dealer David, from Northumbria, is a classic car fan who’s thrilled to be behind the wheel of their Mercedes 280 SL convertible. Hettie scoops up an enamel necklace, vintage pens and a Japanese censor, while David trusts his instincts, buying a dusty pair of Victorian portraits and repairing an already much-damaged majolica wine holder. Hettie also has a close encounter with a cow as she investigates the role of John Boyd Orr in the development of the science of nutrition. They started out with £1,500 and have to make it last all week. But who will win the second of their best-of-five auction contest?
We’re approaching the halfway mark with Hettie Jago, David Harper and their delightful 1980s Mercedes 280 SL. This time, they begin in Brampton, Cumbria - 133 miles from their starting point in Perth. Hettie, an auctioneer and dealer from Nottingham, is on her very first Road Trip. She sticks to her first love, jewellery, buying two stunning brooches made centuries apart. Old hand David from Barnard Castle has scoured the entire UK over the years, and today roots out a First World War campaign chest, a stunning copper charger and a Bakelite heart-shaped box. Our pair also attend match day in Workington and discover the brutal delights of a traditional, mass football game called Uppies and Downies before concluding at an auction in Wrexham.
Auctioneer Hettie Jago and dealer David Harper's fourth outing is all about the lakes, and the pair will be hoping that their 1980s Mercedes SL 280 convertible will cope with the challenging roads of the district. These mountains of north west England were once chock-a-block with Romantic poets. But Hettie and David are here for the antiques, not to mention the delicious cumberland sausages. Between motoring and munching, Hettie hunts for animal-themed antiques and finds equine vesta cases and Japanese netsukes in the form of crabs. But will she claw back a profit? David also tracks down a bear and an art deco figurine while making a famille rose bowl sing. Coincidentally, Hettie learns the score in the village of Sedgewick, where she explores the legacy of Victorian musical pioneer Mary Augusta Wakefield.
It’s the end of the tour for seasoned road tripper David Harper and his debutante rival Hettie Jago as they steer the 1980s Mercedes 280 SL towards their final auction. With money to spend and one last chance in the saleroom, they hit the antiques shops and emporia of Lancashire. Hettie invests in varied lots from inkwells to hatstands, then blows the remainder of her budget on one spectacular big-ticket item in a bid to outwit David. And isn’t it typical?
