Antiques Road Trip S23 E021-E25 (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.

E21
Dealers Margie Cooper and Paul Martin travel through Somerset and Wiltshire on their first road trip together. Margie is a veteran road tripper, but this is only Paul’s second outing, so there’s much at stake as they compete to find profitable items to sell at auction. What will entice them to spend their £200 budget? In a strawberry red Jaguar, they are both on top form, uncovering an eclectic mix of items, from Edwardian furniture to East African tribal art. Along the way, Margie learns about the first safari park outside Africa, and Paul discovers one town’s historic link with safety on our railways. But who will come out on top at the end of the day when their lots go under the hammer?

E22
Margie Cooper and Paul Martin set out on the second leg of their trip with their classic car pointed to Somerset. Paul falls in love with a juggling clown called Clever Willie and pulls some strings to get a discount on some other antiques. Margie’s attempt of finding quality collectables goes down the pan when she settles on a toilet bowl dating from 1860. It’s not all about shopping, though. Margie detours to discover a fascinating hidden story in the most unlikely of locations, and Paul hears how a famous shanty man helped to preserve traditional songs for future generations to enjoy.

E23
Dealers Paul Martin and Margie Cooper are heading in a westerly direction in their elegant red Jaguar, and this time they are scouring the countryside of Devon for all manner of antiques.

Two auctions down and one expert is confident in their unassailable lead, though their rival has a strategy they believe will prove victorious. Paul gets swept up in the romance of the east with a hanging lightshade and buys an item that no self-respecting pirate should be without. Margie’s magpie eyes focus in on something she is certain will make a profit at auction. Margie takes time out from shopping to try her hand at crafting some local pottery, with hilarious results. Meanwhile, Paul visits a local fishing village transformed by a very forward-thinking woman.
As Margie and Paul cruise through the Cornish countryside, only one thing is on their mind – the third auction of this trip. Will one expert’s lead be in question?

E24
It’s the fourth leg of a Wild West adventure featuring antiques experts Margie Cooper and Paul Martin.  Margie’s new strategy is to play it safe with traditional antiques, and she falls for a 1930s child’s chair and a 19th-century milking stool. Paul, however, takes a chance on a 1920s car horn that’s in good working order – and very loud. Both experts buy mirrors, but could this prove a costly mistake for one? In a break from shopping, Paul learns about the formation of the light infantry and the brave actions of one soldier turned pacifist, while Margie tries a tea grown entirely in Britain. How refreshing.

E25
Margie Cooper and Paul Martin head for Plymouth on the final leg of their journey. The competition has tightened, and only a few pounds separate the rivals. Along the way, Margie hears the story of a footballer, once forgotten but finally being given the recognition he deserves. And Paul is all at sea discovering the tale of a lighthouse, built in the 18th century, that became a beacon of engineering prowess. On this final outing, it's the shopping that takes centre stage. Silver expert Margie finds some lovely art nouveau pieces, while a sergeant major’s swagger stick gets Paul’s ‘atten-shun.’ A humdinger of an auction unfolds as this exciting trip comes to a climax.
