Episode 14
Ochuko Ojiri and Charles Hanson drive through the Midlands, picking up collectables and curios. They plump for a very old clown and an even older piece of silver.
It鈥檚 the fourth leg of the trip for antiques experts (and strictly amateur in-car disco dancers) Ochuko Ojiri and Charles Hanson. Their classic car is pointed south, towards the Midlands. Charles may well be the favourite, with a string of Road Trip victories under his belt, but newbie Ochuko is proving to be a worthy challenger.
In Stafford, a clown with a red ruffled collar catches Ochuko鈥檚 eye. Charles鈥檚 weak spot for anything with rococo detail means he spends most of his budget on a 220-year-old unusual find.
While buying antiques to sell at auction is the aim of the game, our experts make time to further their knowledge. One learns about a forgotten Second World War bomber rediscovered in Russia, while the other encounters several monkeys in a garden in Stoke-on-Trent.
As Charles and Ochuko cruise around the gorgeous summer countryside, there's only one thing on their minds: the penultimate auction.
