Episode 17
Northumberland sees Natasha on safari, and Steven finds an old elephant. Both experts go Georgian, with their treasures going under the gavel in Dundee.
Auctioneer Natasha Raskin Sharp and ceramics expert Steven Moore are on a whistle-stop tour of Tyne and Wear before wandering north to Northumberland.
Natasha wastes little time in the antiques shops, gambling her kitty like an 18th-century taverngoer buying some George III period gaming tokens. She ditches the 1960s Rolls Royce and sets off on a very unlikely safari to catch sight of an ancient creature that still roams the Northumberland plains.
Elsewhere, Steven moves at a more leisurely pace and indulges in some dressing up. He delights at a discovery of a 200-year-old sugar dish and buys a 1930s cuddly elephant. Steven even finds time for afternoon tea in an unassuming Alnwick hotel with a dining room that has the spectacular opulence of an Edwardian ocean liner and shares a close connection to RMS Titanic.
With the antiques shipped to a Dundee auction, our experts are on tenterhooks as the bids roll in.
