In this episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip season 8, Nigel Harman and David Bradley are paired up and set out on a road trip to find hidden antiques. Nigel is an actor known for his role in the popular British soap opera "EastEnders," while David is an esteemed actor who played Filch in the "Harry Potter" movies.
The episode starts with the two actors visiting an auction house where they are tasked with finding a bargain item which they can sell at auction later on in the show. Nigel goes straight for a lovely white kettle, while David spots a rare 17th-century silver spoon. Both items are within budget, but the question is, will they sell for more than they bought them for?
After collecting their finds, the pair makes their way to an old country manor where they meet antiques expert Philip Serrell. Philip knows all there is to know about antiques and gives the pair a brief history of the beautiful house they are in. He then takes them to a grand room filled with antiques where they are given a quiz on several items.
The quiz is a bit tough but, they both learn a lot about different antique pieces in the room. They gather more knowledge and find the items interesting while trying to guess the items' values. They were blown away by the final reveal of some of the items in the room and their values.
Next, the two actors get back on the road and head to a beautiful antique shop, where they are hoping to find some hidden treasures. The shop is packed full of antiques, and they are both excited to start browsing. Nigel glides through the shop, and his eyes are caught by a silver teapot. Meanwhile, David becomes enamored with a beautiful wooden figurine.
It's time for the big auction, and the two actor's nerves are clearly visible as the time gets closer. The auction room is packed and full of energy, and the auctioneer wastes no time starting the bidding. Nigel's white kettle sells for more than expected and David's 17th-century silver spoon also sells for a reasonable price.
After the auction, the pair reflects on their experience on the show, with Nigel telling David, "I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I feel like I learned an awful lot." They both share a laugh and fond memories of their road trip together.
