Road trip becomes boat trip as Tim and Margie set sail for the Isle of Man. Expect a horse-drawn tram, a bargain corkscrew and a sought-after souvenir from the Ivory Coast.

Raise the anchors, set the sails… this road trip is taking to the Irish Sea as Tim Medhurst and Margie Cooper find themselves on the Isle of Man for some antiquing.

Tim gambles on a few purchases, picking up a captain’s chair, a pair of bears and a bronzed sculpture of a footballer. He’s very excited about a find that originated from the Ivory Coast, while Margie plays it safer when she buys an antique corkscrew for just £1! She does splash out on a cocktail shaker and a bygone sewing machine that comes complete with all of its accessories.

Margie makes time to find out about this little island’s big contribution to democracy at the Tynwald Parliament, and Tim takes a ride on the world’s oldest horse-drawn tram in Douglas.

Finally, it’s off to Blackpool’s famous Winter Gardens theatre to view the auction, but can Tim gain any ground on Margie, or will she waltz into a commanding lead?
