Antiques experts travel across the country, competing to make a profit at auction. Philip Serrell and Catherine Southon set off from the midlands in a 1970 Citroen DS20 on a brand new road trip. They hunt for antiques in Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon, before heading to an auction in Salisbury. Phil spends a lot of his cash on a 19th-century butter churn, whereas Catherine finds two attractive 1940s compacts. When they are not shopping, Phil discovers the roots of lawn tennis, and Catherine uncovers the story of how a third of the world's needles once came from Redditch.
