Episode 7 of 25

Tim and Irita’s second trip. She’s on top and in the Suffolk pink, while he has a bit of a breakdown before giving her a terrible fright. Will bidders love the sweetheart brooch?

Rookie road tripper Irita Marriott sets out to win, but wily Tim Medhurst hunts for rare items he knows will pique bidders’ interest.

In any case, Irita’s in the pink, the ‘Suffolk pink’, and she’s on a mission to discover exactly what the authentic colour of the local charming cottages really is.

Meanwhile, Tim is in canny mode, forking out but a fiver for one of his purchases. However, he’s also keen as mustard on a fine art nouveau piece that he hopes will boost his chances. In the middle of it all, their classic car, the Reliant, proves it can’t live up to its name, and after a breakdown Tim decides to have a little light relief at Irita’s expense.

Who will come out on top when they gather at Knebworth House to watch their items go under the hammer?
