Antiques Road Trip S18 E11-E15 (1280x720p HD, 50fps, soft Eng subs)
E11
Anita Manning and Paul Laidlaw traverse the Trossachs in a classic car on the first leg of their adventure. Anita, true to form, is drawn to a cabinet containing a silver brooch, while Paul finds a Nasa space spoon and a very rare stool that a royal derriere may have found comfy in 1953.
Away from the shops, Anita travels to a small cottage workshop at Kinneil House where renowned Scottish engineer James Watt developed the steam engine that powered the Industrial Revolution. Paul, meanwhile, tries his hand at coopering and discovers why this ancient craft has endured to this day and is vital to the drinks industry.
E12
Paul Laidlaw and Anita Manning ditch the classic car for a ship and a horse on the next leg of their Scottish jaunt. With the Highlands behind them it's time to head to the islands and Lowlands. Christmas comes early for Paul when he uncovers a festive antique. Anita, though, is caught by the piercing gaze of a former Lord Provost of Kilmarnock and whisks him away. But when it comes to the auction in Hamilton all attention is on one particular find.
E13
It is the third leg of Anita Manning and Paul Laidlaw's road trip. This time they are on the Anglo-Scottish border hunting for collectibles and curios to take to auction in Cumbria. Anita hopes a tiny Victorian mechanical pencil will propel her to a big profit, while militaria man Paul falls for a rather unique sweetheart fob watch from the Second World War in the shape of a Tommy helmet. Paul detours to learn why a butcher and his apprentice from a small town in the Scottish Borders devised a sport that is now a global hit.
Also expect a pack of dogs who are arguably the cutest in Scotland - a breed with a fascinating story and an intriguing name.
E14
Anita Manning and Paul Laidlaw's road trip sees them journey further south as they scour the Lake District for antiques. The unlikely engineering of a 1950s children's toy excites Paul, while Anita is struck by the poignancy of a child's walking stick from the Victorian era. Paul is distracted from antiques when he gets to grips with a sausage of the long-coiled variety, while Anita learns about the husband and wife who were incarcerated for their beliefs.
Both experts allow their hearts to rule their heads and make some gamble purchases. Will they pay off at the Bolton auction?
E15
Anita Manning and Paul Laidlaw reach the final leg of their road trip. With their classic car pointed to Lancashire and West Yorkshire, what antique treasures can they find? As big fan of hats there is little surprise when Anita splashes out on a deep sea diver's helmet. Paul, however, can't believe his luck when he uncovers a 200-year-old porcelain sugar bowl priced at just ten pounds.
With Anita spending big and Paul keeping the purse strings tight, the result of the final auction in Newcastle might come down to who has played the better strategy.
