Bringing Up the Rear
Antiques legend James Braxton and gemology whizz Izzie Balmer go head-to-head along the south coast from Liskeard to Kingsbridge in a 1949 Morris Minor. Who will win the week?
It鈥檚 the final leg of a week-long road trip, with antiques legend James Braxton and gemology whizz Izzie Balmer going head-to-head in the final decider. As they chug their way through the West Country in their 1949 Morris Minor, they have 拢200 each to splurge on antiques along the south coast of England. They鈥檒l be stopping in at Liskeard, Plymouth, Ashburton and Kingsbridge along the way.
Izzie stumbles across a teacup that holds over 250 years of history, while James finds himself in a fluster as he uncovers a rather risqu茅 glass hiding a woman with her derri猫re on show.
Of course, no drive along the south coast would be complete without a trip to the seaside. Our experts get rock-pooling for critters before delving into the discoveries of a 90-year-long ocean survey in Plymouth.
The stage is set for a nail-biting auction finale. Who will walk away as the champion?
