Episode 24
Gloves off and weapons at the ready, experts Izzie Balmer and Philip Serrell scour the shops of Staffordshire and Shropshire. But who will be left standing at the auction?
Our travelling twosome, Philip Serrell and Izzie Balmer, hit the shops of Staffordshire and Shropshire in their penultimate outing. After going a bundle on brooches on the last leg, Izzie makes a vow to steer clear this time out. It doesn鈥檛 mean Phil can鈥檛 buy one though.
It鈥檚 gloves off and weapons at the ready as Izzie and Phil share not one but two shopping opportunities. Izzie鈥檚 new obsession turns out to be serpentine in nature as she gets her hands on a couple of snake-related items. For Phil, there鈥檚 a rather special bit of jewellery from a big-name designer that he has his sights on. There is also a spot of flag waving, some rummaging through other people鈥檚 drawers and a passable impression of a milkmaid.
Away from the shops, Izzie discovers the fascinating history of invention behind a certain field sport and has a go herself. Philip, meanwhile, comes face to face with one of Britain鈥檚 best loved wild animals, and finds out what is being done to save them from extinction.
Then their 1960s classic car whisks them off to a castle to watch their items go under the hammer. Can Izzie consolidate her lead, or will Phil come out ahead?
