Ep 6. Brian Cox CBE and Philip Jackson

In this episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, physicist Brian Cox CBE and actor Philip Jackson set off on a journey through the countryside of Devon and Somerset. With a budget of £400, each celebrity is challenged to find hidden treasures at various antique shops and auctions.

First, the duo stop by a local auction in Somerset, where they bid on a wide range of items including a vintage record player, a porcelain figurine, and a pair of antique walking sticks. Though the competition is fierce, both celebrities manage to score some great deals.

Next, they head to a local antique shop, where Brian is immediately drawn to a beautiful glass paperweight. Meanwhile, Philip spots an unusual piece of furniture that catches his eye. They both haggle with the dealer before making their purchases.

Throughout the episode, Brian and Philip's playful banter keeps things light and entertaining. They take turns driving each other in their vintage cars and share funny stories about their acting and scientific backgrounds.

Later in the day, they visit an antiques expert who helps them appraise their purchases and provides some interesting historical insight. Brian is particularly excited to learn about the origins of his paperweight, while Philip discovers the backstory of his unique furniture find.

As the episode comes to a close, Brian and Philip compete in a final challenge to determine who has the best collection of antiques. They present their treasures to a panel of experts, who evaluate their items based on their rarity, value, and historical significance.

Ultimately, only one celebrity can be crowned the winner of this episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip. But regardless of who comes out on top, both Brian Cox CBE and Philip Jackson leave with a newfound appreciation for the world of antiques and the fascinating stories behind each unique item.
