Paul Laidlaw and Claire Rawle start their adventure in Northumberland before heading for auction in Darlington, behind the wheel of a classic TVR sports car.
Paul discovers the sporting mecca that once was The Morpeth Olympics and Claire finds out about the female Indiana Jones of the early 20th century, Gertrude Bell.
Everything's rosy until Claire mentions she loves militaria, Paul's specialist area! Worse still for the veteran Road Tripper, when Claire's World War One collectable goes under the gavel, it makes a small fortune.
