Episode 17 of 25

Road trip regular Izzie Balmer and new recruit Ishy Khan head for the Pennines. Expect an alligator and a tale of an eccentric gardener before a Barnsley auction.

Road trip regular Izzie Balmer and a new recruit, south London jewellery dealer Ishy Khan, embark on the second leg of their trip in a golden vintage Volvo. This time they’re crossing the Pennines, rummaging through the shops of Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Ishy picks up an iridescent alligator for just a few pounds, while Izzie goes for jewellery and a very, very long Victorian ruler.

Along the way, they find out about a contralto singer from a village in Lancashire who conquered the concert halls of the world, and an eccentric Yorkshireman they used to call ‘the Shotgun Gardener’, but who will be victorious at the Barnsley auction?
