Episode 1 of 25

Roo Irvine and David Harper begin their trip in Lincolnshire, where they find chocolate moulds and opera glasses. Roo takes refuge in a nuclear bunker, and David heads offshore.

Dealers Roo Irvine and David Harper hunt for antiques to sell at auction. Starting off in Lincolnshire, they travel far and wide in their powerful – and very loud – replica 1960s AC Cobra. Using their highly tuned antiquing skills, they scour the shops in an attempt to seek out the best items their budget affords.

Along the way, they step away from the antiques shops to discover unusual historical sites. David visits Hull to test out his sea legs, heading out to sea on an unexpected adventure. Meanwhile, Roo uncovers the secrets of a Cold War bunker, situated in the middle of an unassuming housing estate near York.

Which of our cheery chums fares best when their door knocker, chocolate elephant mould and opera glasses go under the gavel in Essex?
