Episode 11 of 25

Roo Irvine and Steven Moore are antiques hunting in the north east. Vintage luggage and a pill box surprise at auction, while Steven gets familiar with a Sunderland sailor鈥檚 story.

Scottish dealer Roo Irvine is joined by Geordie dealer Steven Moore in a glam 1968 Rolls Royce on the first leg of their road trip through north east England.

On this outing, Roo鈥檚 magpie instincts lead her to pick up several silver and shiny pieces, while Steven pins his hopes of a big profit on vintage gym equipment - but will any of them sell well at auction?

Steven learns how a heroic Sunderland sailor helped coin a famous turn of phrase, and Roo takes a detour to discover how locals are trying to promote sustainable fishing by encouraging people to try new varieties of fish.
