Series exploring the weird and wonderful world of Britain's collectors. The team meet a man who has over 3,000 miniature bottles of spirits.

Eddie is crazy for miniature bottles of booze, but his collection has become an unruly cocktail, so Jasmine goes to visit to see if she can help organise over 3,000 bottles. A family tragedy is what triggered him to start collecting, and now he believes he has the largest minibar in the country, but he knows very little about his bottles and doesn't even drink spirits...

Mark visits 81-year-old Bryan, who is dedicated to his collection of Regency to Victorian porcelain. All of his pieces come from H&R Daniel, an obscure factory in Staffordshire, and he's on a mission to collect all of the pieces with other enthusiasts. Very beautiful and very expensive in their day, these things do not attract the prices they once did as they don't fit in with modern homes, but Bryan believes fashions will change.

Finally, Jasmine and Mark visit former punk rocker Gary, a collector with a passion for original punk promo posters from iconic bands. He started collecting in the 70s when they weren't thought to be of value, but they now considered works of art, including highly sought-after Sex Pistols posters. They also helped him find his soulmate - he bumped into partner Daisy at a punk exhibition, and between them they are fast running out of wall space... Mark and Jasmine are on hand to help Gary showcase the posters and find out if they were a good investment.
