Antiques Road Trip S24 E06-E10 (1280x720p HD, 50fps, soft Eng subs)
Antiques experts set off on a road trip around the UK searching for treasures and competing to make the most money at auction.
E06
Dealer David Harper takes on auctioneer Izzie Balmer in a new expert match-up. These antiques seekers have very high hopes, and £200 each, as they head off into the Scottish countryside in a 1980s Mini. / / This time they begin in the Borders at Moffat and make their roundabout way towards Hamilton in Scotland's central belt. Both experts decide to go for Japanese antiques, but will it be the print or the vases that makes the most profit at auction? / / Along the way, Izzie visits Galashiels to see the magnificent Great Tapestry of Scotland, while David goes to Ettrick, the home of a herd of Britain's largest sheep breed, the Border Leicester. / / But when it comes down to brass tacks, who will win auction number one?
E07
Izzie Balmer and David Harper continue their Scottish antiques adventures in a vintage Mini. This time, Izzie, our Bristolian auctioneer, and David, a dealer from Barnard Castle, have reached the country's Central Belt. Yes, Glasgow itself is up for a rummage! / / David uncovers a Wedgwood brooch and Izzie a pair of tables. On the way to their second auction, David visits a world-famous tea rooms recently restored to showcase some of the finest work produced by celebrated architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his artist wife Margaret MacDonald Mackintosh. Meanwhile, Izzie finds the time to learn about Scotland's Victorian wind-power pioneer, but will the bidders be blown away by our duo's lots at the auction?
E08
It's the third leg of the trip with all-singing, all-dancing antiques experts Izzie Balmer and David Harper. / / Bristolian Izzie and David from Barnard Castle are making their way around Edinburgh and the surrounding towns in a retro Mini. Izzie finds herself out of her comfort zone when she acquires a bubble sextant, and David serves up an Edwardian card tray. / / Our experts take a break from the shopping to learn about the first international rugby trophy, the Calcutta Cup, and to find out about the first all-female Himalayan expedition. / / They end this leg of their trip in Fife, watching the auction play out at the stunning Dunimarle Castle. But who will claim victory?
E09
It's the fourth leg of this Scottish extravaganza with auctioneer Izzie Balmer and dealer David Harper. As it happens, they'll be awfully close to St Andrews, 'the home of golf', so perhaps we should call it leg fore! / / For their rummage around Fife, Perthshire and Angus, Izzie and David have a trusty vintage Mini and whatever funds they have successfully accrued on top of their £200 starting sum. Izzie finds a very rare jar that results in a bidding war at auction, much to David's despair. / / Our experts take a break from the shopping to find out about an education revolution deep in the Scottish woods and to discover the medieval abbey in which one of the country's most famous exports has its roots. / / When they're all shopped up, it's time for the penultimate auction. Will it be birdies or bogeys for our pair?
E10
On the final leg of this Caledonian caper, auctioneer Izzie Balmer and dealer David Harper hit the Highlands proper. These antiques experts will be pootling along both the high and low roads of north east Scotland in this final, nail-biting episode. / / While shopping, David falls under the stare of a man from 1860, but jewellery expert Izzie plays it safe and picks up something sparkly. / / David takes the time to visit the Cromarty birthplace of a Victorian Scottish hero, and Izzie is given a close-up look at some of the last wild cats in Britain. And there's still plenty of shopping for each of them to do before they head towards the climactic final auction. Dress code: tartan!
