Antiques Road Trip S19 E11-E15 (1280x720p HD, 50fps, soft Eng subs)

E11
Avuncular veteran road tripper James Braxton takes a spin across the south east with youthful novice Izzie Balmer. She’s an auctioneer with a penchant for jewellery, but will she take the crown with her jewels?

James gets waylaid by a heady brew of beer and witchcraft, and Izzie bumps into painted ladies and monarchs while discovering how the art of tattooing became popular in the west. A potter’s wheel encourages James to channel his inner Patrick Swayze, while Izzie reveals herself to be more in tune with famous Scottish bard Robert Burns.

Tring Tring! Tring Tring! Hello? Yes, they’re on their way to the Hertfordshire town for auction. Who knows whether age or beauty will triumph?



E12
The sunny Izzie Balmer tours Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire with her self-confessed curmudgeonly counterpart James Braxton. However, Izzie’s cakes soon have him eating out of her hand.

Izzie goes on a strictly declassified mission to Bletchley Park, where code-breakers cracked messages from Hitler, while James dons a bandana and takes on the cream of English badminton. Mr Braxton takes a measured approach with some wooden rulers and applies his weight test to a Chinese table, and Miss Balmer is dazzled by an expensive ring made of lava from Mount Vesuvius and some glassware made of depleted uranium. Sparks may fly!

E13
James and Izzie are off and running again, and the going is flat. That's because they're in the eastern counties of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.

Izzie gets her skates on and finds her bandy legs on the ice for a go at a winter sport that began in the Fens, while our resident gourmand drops a 'clanger', a local delicacy that was once a staple food of those who laboured on the land in these parts.

E14
Izzie and James visit the most easterly town in the country. Izzie potters about in Lowestoft learning about the porcelain 'trifles' manufactured for the 18th-century tourist trade, while James goes crabbing in Cromer.

True to form, Izzie just can't resist the attractions of chairs - Edwardian and Georgian. And James can't say no to a gigantic wine rack to go with his French cafe table. James is all fired up by a cannonball from a 1672 naval battle, and Izzie is charmed by an art deco necklace. Will age or beauty win the day at auction in Banbury?

E15
For the final leg of their road trip, Izzie and James are touring Izzie’s native Derbyshire, where she tempts the gourmand with some local delicacies. Our keen ambassador for her home county is also on a mission to find Blue John.

James, meanwhile, falls for a pretty lady and hopes that an Ashbourne slate fireplace will fan the flames of success. Needless to say, Izzie continues her chair obsession with a matching pair. There’s a blast from the past as James is carried away by the news from the 1780s, while Izzie follows in the tracks of Winston Churchill. But whose will be victory at auction in Lincoln?
