Episode 5 of 25

A secret map once used by the RAF navigates David to potential profits while a fruity 350-year-old book gets Roo’s attention. Who will win the final auction in North Shields?

It’s the last outing for antiques dealers Roo Irvine and David Harper, and they are on a whistle-stop tour of the Lake District, battling each other – and the elements – in a sporty classic car.

David’s hunt for antiques unearths a secret map issued by the RAF, but with time ticking before the auction, Roo gambles on a Georgian longcase clock.

David learns about the Cumbrian sport of hound trailing, which sees dogs running for miles with only the scent of aniseed to guide them. Roo diverts to a country pile to learn about an ancient preserve that’s still enjoyed today. The auction in North Shields is the final destination.
