The pair, with their vast knowledge of antique items and trading skills, are competing against each other to see who can make the most profit by buying low and selling high.
The first stop for the antique dealers is in the historic town of St. Albans. Here they visit a local antiques market where they hope to unearth some hidden gems. Despite being on the hunt for the same types of items, the competitors have different priorities when it comes to what they hope to find. One is on the lookout for high-end items that fetch a lot of money, while the other hopes to find some quirky, interesting pieces that will attract buyers.
Next, the dealers pay a visit to an antique showroom in the heart of Birmingham, known for its impressive array of pottery and porcelain items.

After carefully examining each piece, they try to negotiate the best possible price before adding the items to their haul.
The road trip then takes the dealers to the picturesque Cotswolds, where they visit a local auction house. The auctioneer shows them a range of items that will be going under the hammer, including antique furniture, artwork, and vintage collectibles. In a thrilling auction, both dealers bid fiercely against each other to secure the items they want.
The dealers then head to Newark on Trent, a bustling market town in Nottinghamshire. Here they visit a large antiques warehouse, famous for housing a vast collection of rare and collectible items. The experts scour the warehouse for valuable antiques, putting their knowledge and expertise to the test as they haggle with the seller to secure the best possible deal.
Finally, the road trip takes the dealers to an antique fair in the town of Bath. Here they have the opportunity to browse a wide range of items, including silver, jewellery, and vintage clothing. With so many potential treasures on offer, the dealers have to be selective in what they choose to buy, relying on their extensive knowledge and experience to make the right decisions.
Throughout the episode, the antique experts banter and compete with each other, using all their skills and know-how to find the most valuable antiques. With plenty of excitement, drama, and surprises along the way, this is an episode that's sure to be a hit with fans of antique hunting and collecting.
