Episode 9
In Lincolnshire, Charles spends a fortune and bakes a cake, while Natasha gambles on a rare plate and comes across a Nigerian prince in the most unlikely of places.
It鈥檚 the penultimate trip with auctioneers Charles Hanson and Natasha Raskin Sharp. This time they are exploring the fens and wolds of Lincolnshire in the bygone glamour of the 1932 Riley Monaco, the oldest vehicle to ever feature on the show.
Charles is gloriously minted, and with dreamy abandon he aims to spend big in every shop. He snaps up quite an eclectic haul, from a very large Victorian sideboard to a dainty Edwardian silver inkwell. Amongst all this hard work, Charles finds time to visit a fifth-generation baker to find out about a Lincolnshire delicacy that has been wowing the locals since the turn of the 20th century.
On Natasha鈥檚 swirl around Lincolnshire, she is at first cautious with her money but then decides to spend every single penny on a gaggle of goodies including her big gamble buy, a Liberty and Co. Tudric pewter plate. She makes a detour to Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre to discover the heroics of a Nigerian prince who renounced his title and travelled over 3,000 miles to the UK to join the RAF in World War II.
Who will clinch auction victory this time round?
