Charles buys a straw pipe from the Napoleonic era, while Margie goes for a mysterious brass object - but it's a gamble as no-one knows what it actually is. Even a call to knowledgeable Paul Laidlaw draws a blank. In a Gateshead pub Charles is advised how best to use a sword when dancing, and Margie appreciates unlikely works of art produced by coal miners in the 1930s. It's a busy auction in Burnley. Will anyone know what Margie's brass thing is? Can Charles's Qianlung-period dish attract big bids? And who will celebrate with a bottle of 1966 champagne?

Tim Medhurst and Christina Trevanion squeeze into an MG Midget and hit the puddles of a rather rainy south west England. Christina travels at high speed on a historic rescue boat developed by Lawrence of Arabia, while Tim aims for the sky to tell the story of unsung hero, early aviator Bertram Dickson. Christina makes some canny speculative purchases, but Tim, all guns blazing on his first ever road trip, blows more than half his budget on a rare collection of military memorabilia. Who dares wins?
Episode 2
Experienced road tripper Christina Trevanion and her new travelling companion Tim Medhurst continue round the south west of England. A classic car and a historic boat help them advance their adventure in antiques. Christina goes caving to uncover the little-known story of maturing cheddar cheese before setting her sights on a very old egg. Tim, meanwhile, has a lesson in firefighting. An emu, a kangaroo and a frog all head to Exeter to go under the gavel. Excitement around one lot leaves an expert with a very fat piggy and loads of cash to take on the next trip.

After an encounter with some wild ponies in the New Forest, Christina Trevanion turns farrier while Tim Medhurst buys a horse, hoping to gallop after her.

In the spirit of the Auld Alliance, Christina spies some Scottish treasure while Tim fancies some French fashionistas of a bygone age.
Episode 5
It is the final stretch, and Tim Medhurst and Christina Trevanion head through the Cotswolds and on to Wales. Tim gets to ring some very big bells while Christina calls in on a design museum and harks back to the utility furniture of the war and postwar era.

And who will be crowned winner?

Charles traces the family tree of a dog, while Margie hears about a precursor to the NHS set up to help deprived people in Scotland's remote highlands and islands.
