Antiques Road Trip S24 E01-E05 (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.

E01
Experts Natasha Raskin Sharp and James Braxton are in the Devonshire countryside for a brand-new antiques expedition. Both are Road Trip veterans but this is the first time they've squared off against each other. With £200 to spend, and a rather sporty 1970s Porsche to whisk them all over the county, they set off on the hunt for money making treasure. /  / James finds his happy place in an antiques shop's storeroom and, surrounded by bargains, defends it fiercely from his rival. Two decoy ducks, some very expensive ass's milk and a meat platter serve up plenty of interest for James. Meanwhile Natasha goes eclectic, considering items ranging from bovine musical instruments to crustaceans.  /  / Away from the shops, James heads to the river Dart and gets behind the wheel of a rather unique vessel, built to transport tourists in the 1920s. Meanwhile Natasha heads out onto the rugby pitch to find out about England's first black international player. But has she got what's needed to make the first team? /  / Their Devonian adventure ends up at a vineyard for a spot of wine tasting and auction watching. Will they be toasting success, or drowning their sorrows?

E02
Seasoned trippers Natasha Raskin Sharp and James Braxton explore the back roads of Devon and Somerset from behind the wheel of a fiery-red Porsche. They're up for the challenge of finding profitable antiques and even pen the odd verse of poetry along the way.  /  / James has an eye for some Scandinavian furniture ideal for serving cocktails while Natasha indulges her cute and cuddly side as she gets her hands on a menagerie of furry creatures. She also uncovers an item with a sought-after maker's mark, pity about the less than desirable hole in it.  /  / Taking a break from shopping, Natasha discovers a labyrinth of tunnels beneath Exeter's streets which once served as an ingenious solution to the medieval city's water supply. James heads off to the Mendip Hills to experience an extremely destructive form of motor sport... and goes head-to-head on the track with a rather familiar rival.  /  / There's a touch of Baroque splendour to their auction but will they be living in luxury, or down and out once the gavel descends on their prized possessions?

E03
he halfway point of the trip sees experts Natasha Raskin Sharp and James Braxton hitting the shops of Somerset and Wiltshire. However, their Porsche has developed some rude noises and unpleasant smells. Both trippers are strapped for cash so it's time to get serious - James adopts the persona of a 13th century warlord in preparation for haggling. /  / Natasha discovers she has a deep-seated attraction for chairs, while James finds himself in a shop that sells only one type of antique. To stretch his dwindling budget he picks up a few items in not far from pristine condition. /  / Natasha also finds out about a top-secret group of highly trained fighters who helped bring about social reform for women. James heads to Salisbury to discover what it takes to care for the cathedral's stained glass and to hear about the historic vandals who tried to destroy it.  /  / It's 'chocks away' at the auction as our pair settle into a couple of fighter jets to watch their items go under the gavel. Will they reach new heights or simply crash and burn?

E04
Antiques afficionados Natasha Raskin Sharp and James Braxton are on the penultimate leg of their journey. And, after the worrying results from the last auction, they're just scraping by. As is their 1970s Porsche.  /  / James flexes his finely tuned antique finding muscles and pins his hopes on some of his beloved bamboo and a very rude dog. Natasha, meanwhile, must overcome her fear of the haggle to get back to winning ways. Can a famous Dutch masterpiece get her back in the black? /  / Away from the shopping, James discovers a rural idyll in the heart of a busy Wiltshire town and finds out about a forgotten author who had big ideas about ecology. Natasha heads to the Valley of the Racehorse to discover how one small Berkshire village has been a big part of the sport of kings for over 300 years.  /  / Then it's full steam ahead to the auction. Will it be first class all the way, or will they hit the buffers?

E05
It's the end of the tour for Natasha Raskin Sharp and James Braxton as they pilot their Porsche towards Oxfordshire and their final chance to shine. With money in their pockets and a renewed sense of purpose, the competition is heating up.  /  / As they hit the shops, Natasha finds it hard to adjust to a healthier budget. James finds himself in shed heaven as he sidesteps his way through a series of outbuildings chock full of antique furniture. /  / There's time for some sightseeing in Oxford, with James touring the locations of the flights of England's first aeronaut. Meanwhile, Natasha gets a look around an extraordinary interior, a chapel full of carvings created by the 'Michelangelo of wood'. /  / Then it's on to their final showdown. Can nipping terrier Natasha catch up with old dog James?
