Series 28: 8. Parrots and Pests

We’ve reached the tipping point in the epic antiques battle between good chums but fierce rivals, Natasha Raskin Sharp and James Braxton. In this episode, they find themselves deep in the Black Country, with only their wits, £200 and the contents of James’s harvest jug to see them through the day.\n\nAs they hit the emporia of the West Midlands, James is distracted by sweets, but he still manages to find an enormous specimen of a rather famous bird and also buy a somewhat noisy antique. Natasha gets her hands on a rather macabre little curio and goes gaga for some ceramics. On the way there’ll be cricket... and encounters with other insects!\n\nAway from the shops, Natasha visits one of the largest places of worship in the UK to find out how a centuries-old tradition of embroidery helped women from Punjab find work and self-worth in the British textile industry. Tash tries her hand at a spot of sewing too, with mixed results.\n\nWhich expert will be celebrating a win at the auction?
