Episode 15
Tim Medhurst and Margie Cooper shop for a final time, stuffed with celebratory bakewell tarts. A bulldog gong and an old toy do battle at the final auction. Who will take the crown?
It鈥檚 the last outing for Tim Medhurst and Margie Cooper鈥檚 1970s camper van. On this leg, their vehicle is pointed to the Peak District and Greater Manchester. As well as discovering the difference between a bakewell tart and a bakewell pudding, our intrepid antiquing duo also find out about the Victorian from Manchester who was one of the first environmental activists.
Tim opts for an all-or-nothing approach to this final opportunity to shop, splashing a three-figure sum on an old children鈥檚 toy. He also finds a charming Welsh folk art quill stand he hopes will attract bids at the Bourne End auction. Margie, meanwhile, goes puppy-eyed when she spies a bulldog gong, convinced this rare piece of Victoriana will attract bids for higher than the price she paid.
This epic road trip concludes in Rochdale at the Steam Museum, where Tim and Margie watch as their buys go under the gavel. It鈥檚 an exciting finale, but who will be crowned champion?
