Before setting off on their road trip, the antiques experts are given a budget of £200 each, and their goal is to buy and sell the most valuable antiques they can find within five days. With limited funds and just a week to explore the city, the antiques experts face a daunting task.

The episode then takes us to a local flea market, where the antique experts try their luck at finding hidden treasures. They search through stalls filled with old books, antique dolls, and other interesting items. At one stall, Margie discovers an old photo album, which contains rare photographs of Norwich's past. She decides to buy it, hoping that she can uncover something special as she investigates further.
Next, the experts visit a unique store in Norwich that sells antique textiles. Will is fascinated by the array of colorful fabrics and intricately designed carpets on display. He starts to negotiate with the shop owner, hoping to get a good deal on a valuable piece.
