An old beer bottle and a fish kettle whet James’s appetite for profits in East Sussex and Hampshire while Irita hopes a 19th-century puzzle box solves her auction woes.

James Braxton and Irita Marriott are on the third leg of their grand tour of England’s south coast. They’re searching for antiques in East Sussex and Hampshire in their classic car from the 60s.

A novelty beer bottle and a fish kettle whet James’s appetite for a profit while Irita hopes a 19th-century puzzle box will solve her woes at auction.

On the way James gets up close and personal with some octogenarian sea turtles in Brighton. Irita makes a stop of her own at the historic Portsmouth Docks to learn about a Victorian philanthropist who dedicated her life to helping the sailors of the Royal Navy.

Together they head to Dorset for an auction face-off, with Irita gambling all her funds in an effort to catch up to James’ commanding lead.
