Antiques Road Trip is a popular British television show where experts compete against each other to buy antiques and then try to sell them at auctions for a profit. Season 20, episode 12 takes us on a journey with two of the show's favorite experts, Charlie Ross and James Braxton, as they drive around the county of Devon in South West England.

The episode starts with Charlie and James setting off from their starting point in Exeter, Devon, with their trusty blue and red vintage cars. They plan to visit various antiques shops, markets, and fairs in the county to find unique and valuable items to buy. The experts are always on the lookout for interesting and unusual pieces that they think will make a profit at auction.

Their first stop is an antiques shop in the picturesque town of Topsham. The store is filled with a vast array of vintage and antique items, including furniture, paintings, housewares, and jewelry. Charlie and James have to negotiate with the shop owner to get the best deal they can. They both find some fascinating items, but they don't always agree on what will sell well at auction.

Next, they visit a market in Newton Abbot, where they hope to find some hidden treasures. The market is bustling with people selling all kinds of items, from rare books to antique toys. There are too many stalls to explore them all, so Charlie and James split up to cover more ground. They find some exciting items, but not everything they buy will make a profit.

In the afternoon, they go to a specialist shop in Totnes that sells antique scientific instruments. The store has an incredible collection of items, including microscopes, telescopes, and barometers. Charlie and James are both fascinated by the collection and try to haggle the best price they can for some unique pieces.

The experts then visit an auction house in the town of Ashburton, where they hope to make a profit on their items. They take their seats in the auction room, and the auctioneer begins to sell off the lots. Charlie and James are nervous as they wait for their items to come up for sale. They've invested a lot of money and time in their antiques, and they hope to make a good profit.

The auction is filled with excitement as the bidders battle it out for the lots. Charlie and James have some nail-biting moments as they watch their items sell for different prices than they expected. But, as always, there are some surprises, and some of their items sell for much more than they anticipated.

After the auction, they count up their profits and losses to see how successful they were. The episode finishes with a trip to the seaside town of Paignton, where Charlie and James reflect on the highs and lows of their journey around Devon.
