Episode 6 of 25

David Harper and Izzie Balmer motor through the Scottish countryside. All hope rests on a little monkey and a Georgian silver fruit ladle making big profits at auction.

Dealer David Harper takes on auctioneer Izzie Balmer in a new expert match-up. These antiques seekers have very high hopes, and 拢200 each, as they head off into the Scottish countryside in a 1980s Mini.

This time they begin in the Borders at Moffat and make their roundabout way towards Hamilton in Scotland鈥檚 central belt. Both experts decide to go for Japanese antiques, but will it be the print or the vases that makes the most profit at auction?

Along the way, Izzie visits Galashiels to see the magnificent Great Tapestry of Scotland, while David goes to Ettrick, the home of a herd of Britain鈥檚 largest sheep breed, the Border Leicester.

But when it comes down to brass tacks, who will win auction number one?
