Actors Derek Fowlds and Bill Simons of Heartbeat fame set off from Helmsley, North Yorkshire, and patrol the county before concluding with an auction in Ilkley, West Yorkshire. Phil Serrell and Kate Bliss are on hand to assist. The road trip goes awry when the classic car proves unreliable.
Bill is arrested by some local history when he hears about Victorian law and order. Derek, meanwhile, learns how bars of chocolate found their way to World War One's trenches at Christmas. Derek charms his way to some great discounts. Bill's eye for the unusual secures him some unexpected lots.
