It鈥檚 all to play for, as the final auction beckons for ceramics queen Irita Marriott and jewellery king Ishy Khan. Who will reign supreme by the end of this leg?

With 拢200 each in their back pockets, they start today鈥檚 search for antiques and artefacts in Hingham, Norfolk, the ancestral home of the 16th president of the USA, Abraham Lincoln. Greatness takes root at their first shop too, where Irita gets stuck on a 19th-century French mantel clock, a vintage ink standish and a Wolverhampton-made copper jug. Ishy blows his cash on Chinese bellows, a vintage glass salt dish and an early 20th-century inkwell.

Taking a trip to Norwich Castle, Ishy envelopes himself in the little-told story of Margaret Fountaine, an important Victorian lepidopterist who hasn鈥檛 quite had the attention she deserves, until now! Because along with a guerrilla art movement, Irita is broadcasting Margaret鈥檚 importance in the form of an unofficial blue plaque.

With brass hooks, barometers and much more along the way, who will reign victorious at the final auction in Lichfield?
