Ep 20. Episode 20

Antiques Road Trip is a British television show that sees two antiques experts set off in an old car, each with a budget of £200, on a road trip across the UK searching for treasures to sell at auction. In season 12 episode 20, the pair of experts are introduced and set off on their journey.

The episode begins with the introduction of the two experts who will be going on the road trip. The first is a young woman who has been in the antiques business for several years. She is knowledgeable and passionate about antiques and excited about the challenge of finding hidden gems on this trip. The second expert is an older man who has been in the business for many years. He is experienced and knowledgeable and is excited about the opportunity to share his expertise with his younger counterpart.

As they set off on their journey, the pair decides to explore the beautiful countryside of Wales. They visit a variety of locations, including small towns, rural villages, and bustling cities, in search of the best antiques. Along the way, they meet local vendors and collectors who give them tips on interesting places to visit and things to look out for.

Their first stop is an antique shop in a small town in Wales. The shop owner has an extensive collection of vintage jewellery, china, and furniture. The experts spend some time exploring the shop and carefully examine each item, taking note of its condition, authenticity, and potential resale value.

Their next stop is a local auction house where they attend an auction to bid on some interesting items. They are both excited to see what will be up for auction and are prepared to bid on several items they have identified as potential moneymakers. They carefully watch the bidding process and are thrilled when they successfully win several items.

Their road trip also takes them to a local flea market where they browse through hundreds of vendor stalls, looking for hidden gems. They are amazed by the variety of items on offer, from vintage clothing to antique furniture. They carefully examine each item they come across, knowing that the smallest details and signs of wear can make a significant difference in the resale value.

Throughout the episode, the two experts engage in friendly banter and offer insights into the antiques they examine. They also offer each other tips and advice on potential moneymakers. While they have different approaches to identifying valuable antiques, they both share a passion for the subject and are determined to find the best items to sell at auction.

As the episode progresses, they collect an impressive amount of items, from vintage clothing to rare china and furniture. They carefully pack each item away, knowing that being cautious with their antiques is essential to ensure they arrive at the auction house in the best possible condition.

The episode's final scenes see the experts returning to the auction house to sell their antiques. They are excited and nervous, knowing that the auction will determine whether their hard work will pay off. The auctioneer starts the bidding process, and the atmosphere is tense as each item is sold. While some items bring in more money than expected, others fall short of their estimated value.

Despite a few disappointments, the experts are still pleased with the result, and their personal relationship has grown during the trip. They say their goodbyes and head off in their own directions, with the anticipation of doing it all again soon. The show ends with a preview for the next episode, where a new pair of experts will embark on their own road trip in search of treasure.
