Antiques Road Trip

It’s been no time at all since antique experts Irita Marriott and Raj Bisram last road-tripped together, but they are back by popular demand! There is only one thing our riotous rivals love more than finding quality antiques, and that’s winding each other up. It’s hair-raising stuff, quite literally in this episode. Kicking off in north Wales, they have £1,500 each in spending money and a fabulous Vanden Plas Princess to travel around in. (First aired on iPlayer 13/11/23)

We’re only at round two in our cross-country jaunt with antique experts Irita Marriott and Raj Bisram, and already they’re winding each other up.

Things get a little tense in the Vanden Plas Princess as our pair give each other the silent treatment. But there’s no way that can last for long. (First aired on iPlayer 13/11/23)

This road trip’s halfway point sees experts Irita Marriott and Raj Bisram meandering through the Midlands in their 1967 Princess Vanden Plas classic car. They take a bow in Birmingham, where Raj learns about the crucial role the Hare and Hounds played in the UK’s reggae explosion of the 1980s. Basil Gabbidon, guitarist and vocalist in groundbreaking Brummie band Steel Pulse also helps Irita form an impromptu band so they can all enjoy a jam. (First aired on iPlayer 13/11/23)
