Series 22: Episode 2

Roo Irvine and David Harper are driving around Yorkshire and Country Durham in a noisy and sporty 1960s motor, seeking out antiques to sell at auction. \n\nDavid buys an old fishing stool in the hope of landing a big profit at the Newcastle auction. However, the joke may be on Roo, who splashes out on an unusual purchase of a parachuting clown. \n\nA detour from the antiques emporia of York sees David discover a little-known 19th-century inventor whose incredible innovations are as relevant today as they were in his time. For Roo, there’s a trip to Durham and the chance to hear the story of a mining association that shook up the industry, giving its workers a voice for the first time and thereby improving their lives beyond measure. \n\nBack on the trail for auction glory, the competition heats up as one of our experts takes a tumble and the other leaps into the lead.
