Antiques experts travel across the country, competing to make a profit at auction. Charles Hanson goes missing as he sets out with his metal detector, while Catherine Southon sticks to antique shops in her quest to find items to take to a Nottingham auction. Starting in Macclesfield, Charles moves on to Leek to learn about the birth of Britain's canal network. It's edge-of-the-seat excitement at auction when Catherine's Victorian deck chair goes head to head with Charles's antique ear cleaner.
