Phil Serrell and Irita Marriott continue their Antiques Road Trip on Day 5, traveling through the picturesque countryside of the Cotswolds searching for hidden treasures. Phil, a seasoned antiques dealer, and Irita, an expert in vintage fashion and accessories, are tasked with finding and buying items to sell at auction for a profit.
Their first stop is in the charming village of Stow on the Wold, where they visit a local antique shop filled with unique finds. Phil and Irita give the items a thorough once-over and select a few interesting pieces to take to auction. Next, they head to an estate sale in search of vintage clothing. Irita is in her element, scouring through racks of vintage outfits and accessories, trying to find the perfect pieces to add to her collection.
The duo then moves on to a grand country house, where they are greeted by the owner and given a tour of the impressive estate. They soon discover that the owner has quite a collection of art and furniture, some of which has been in her family for generations. Phil and Irita are in awe of the beautiful items and spend some time examining each piece. They spot a pair of Georgian chairs that they think would be a great addition to any modern home and attempt to negotiate a deal with the owner.
Their final stop of the day is at an antique store located on a farm. Phil and Irita both agree that they need to find something special to end their day's shopping on the right note. They take their time browsing through the various items on display and eventually come across a beautiful Victorian tea caddy. The item catches both of their eyes, and they decide to buy it despite it being slightly over their budget.
The following day, Phil and Irita bring all their purchases to an auction house where they meet the auctioneer and receive a valuation of their items. They're pleased to learn that the items they've chosen have some value and eagerly await the auction.
At the auction, Phil and Irita watch as each of their items gets sold. Some items sell for more than expected, while others don't reach their estimated value. Despite this, they manage to make a decent profit and are happy with how their Antiques Road Trip has turned out.
Overall, Phil Serrell and Irita Marriott's Antiques Road Trip, Day 5, is an enjoyable episode filled with interesting finds, breathtaking scenery, and fun banter between the hosts.
