Antiques Road Trip S201E01-S20E05 (1280x720p HD, 50fps, soft Eng subs)
E01
The Home Counties host antiques experts Catherine Southon and James Braxton, paired together for the first time. It's friendly but competitive from the off as they settle in to their stately motor, a 1969 Rover P5. / / The duo banter, barter and browse as they shop for bargains to take to auction. And they both take detours along the way. Catherine hears how one of the UK's most popular flowers was saved from extinction, while James takes a ride in a car manufactured in 1902 and learns all about a family business that began in the late 19th century and still makes vehicles today. / / But their focus is firmly fixed on finding the best antiques, with a starting budget of £200. For Catherine small is beautiful, while James prefers the large and noisy. / / Who will win the day and make the most profit when their items go under the hammer in Bourne End?
E02
Antiques Road Trip veterans Catherine Southon and James Braxton are on the second leg of their five-part expedition, acquiring the very best antiques their budget allows. / / Pride and profits are at stake, and with Catherine in the lead after winning the last auction, James is determined to close the gap. This time they hit the road in Worcestershire, Warwickshire and the West Midlands. / / James ends up on stage for an impromptu performance at the Royal Shakespeare Company, while Catherine discovers the little-known history of Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. / / Both experts go potty for papier-mâché, but will it be the pretty writing box or the pair of prop cannon that makes the most profit? That's if James and Catherine make it to the sale room - there's confusion as to whether they're heading to the correct auction. Will they ever make it to Shropshire?
E03
With a mere £70 between them, the battle is on! Catherine Southon and James Braxton are back on the road in their fabulous 1969 Rover, county hopping from Leicestershire to South Yorkshire. / / Both borrow their rival's tactics this time around. Catherine buys whatever takes her fancy - and that includes a very Braxton-style purchase in the shape of a table. Meanwhile, James goes arts and crafts crazy and, in a very Catherine-like move, spends just a fraction of his budget. / / Away from the antiques hunt, Catherine learns all about the bravery and glory of the Staffordshire Regiment, their very proud doggy mascot and the story of the most decorated soldier of the Great War - a man who never fired a gun. / / James discovers the local delicacy little known outside the region but key to sustaining the pottery workers in the 18th and 19th centuries. And he gets baking with a local baker who still makes traditional Staffordshire oatcakes today. / / But when the gavel comes down in Elsecar, South Yorkshire there can be only one winner.
E04
It's the fourth leg of Catherine Southon and James Braxton's road trip, and success at the last auction means one expert has double the kitty of their rival. / / There's pride at stake as our pair head across Derbyshire and Leicestershire to an auction in Bedford in their stately classic 1969 Rover. / / The twosome's shopping choices could not be more diverse. How do Catherine's 18th-century caryatid carvings measure up against James's very old bowl of marbles? / / And away from the antiques, Catherine gets steamed up on the heritage Great Central Railway, and James goes potty about pottery. / / It's a romp and a half, and with a mix up over one item and a costly gamble on another, who will come out on top in the penultimate auction?
E05
It is crunch time! With just six pounds separating them, veteran antiques trippers Catherine Southon and James Braxton battle it out on the final leg of their adventure. / / They travel through Cambridgeshire and Suffolk to Bourne in Lincolnshire in their smart and stately 1969 Rover P5. / / Along the way, Catherine meets a stallion in Newmarket, the home of thoroughbred horse racing, and even takes a ride herself. And James dips for wildlife on the Fens while discovering the influential banker whose passion for the environment led to conservation as we know it today. / / Back on the antiques trail, our terrific twosome seek out the best buys as they go head to head at the Lincolnshire auction. But will a jug in the shape of an owl or a biscuit tin in the form of a travelling trunk make the biggest profit?
