Antiques Road Trip is a British television programme that offers a journey through the UK's incredible culture of antiquities and collectibles. In the sixteenth season, episode ten, the expert duo of Christina Trevanion and Mark Stacey set off on a road trip to explore the hidden treasures and valuable antiques of the Kent and Sussex region.

The show revolves around the concept of two antique experts traveling in a vintage car, visiting antique shops, and markets in search of antiques to buy and sell at auction. The challenge is to purchase antiques that are bargains and hopefully sell them for a higher price at auction. One of the most interesting aspects of the show is that the expert who makes the most profit at auction is declared the winner.

In episode ten of season 16, the two experts start their journey in Sussex and head towards the Kent region. Their first stop is at Rye, a small town, which is renowned for its cobbled streets and historic buildings. In this charming town, they visit antiques shops in search of items that they can sell a higher price. Christina and Mark, along with the antique shop owners, share their knowledge on antiques and collectibles, provide insights into the history and origin of each of the items they encounter.

The pair then move on to Folkestone, where they encounter a different type of antique shop. Here, they come across marine nautical items and art pieces that reflect the town's connection to the sea. Mark and Christina take time exploring the items and learn invaluable insights into the value of each of the items.

Their next stop is Dover, undoubtedly the most historically significant place to visit in the Kent region. The town is known for the famous White Cliffs of Dover, a symbol of Britain's strength during the second world war. Dover is also known for its superb chalk hill fortresses, which offer a stunning view of the English Channel.

In Dover, Christina and Mark visit small antique shops, where they find items for their auction challenge. They discover some hidden gems in the shops, including a curious artefact found to have connections with local history, dating back to ancient Roman times.

The duo's location next, is Ashford, where they visit an antique centre. This vast market features almost everything from furniture and ornaments to vintage and industrial items. The space offers the opportunity to look out for bulk purchases, giving Mark and Christina the chance to look for good-value items that they can potentially make a profit on.

The final stop for this episode is in Tenterden, a small town in Kent, known for its historic architecture and beautiful countryside. The town's main street is lined with independent shops, cafes, and artisan stores. Here, Christina and Mark spend their time visiting antique shops in search of the perfect items for the auction.

The episode is filled with fun, competitive bickering, and fascinating moments of discovery when they come across items and artefacts they haven't seen before. However, it's all with the ultimate goal of buying the antiques and selling them for the highest possible price at auction.
