Episode 5
It's crunch time in Wales for our antiques experts. At the final auction, Izzie Balmer pins her hopes on two auspicious vases, while Tim Medhurst hopes that his letter box delivers.
The time has come for Izzie Balmer and Tim Medhurst to conclude their epic road trip around Wales in a classic car. With only one auction to go, time is running out for our dynamic duo to scour the country's antiques shops for items that will sell for a profit when they go under the gavel.
While Tim goes on a veritable spending spree that includes an arts and crafts letter box, Izzie hopes that two Chinese vases bearing the symbol for good fortune will prove to be an auspicious purchase. As always, our experts find the time to step away from the antiques shops to delve into some local culture. Izzie tries some laver bread, a Welsh culinary delight made from seaweed foraged from one of the country鈥檚 most stunning beaches, and Tim goes all Poldark as he gets to grips with a scythe to discover traditional farming methods still being used today.
Then it's down to brass tacks: the final auction. Who will be crowned the winner of this road trip? There鈥檚 a big surprise in store for one expert!
