S12 Episode 1
Paul Merton v Suki Webster
Starting in Kent and (breakdowns notwithstanding) heading for an auction in Windsor, doyenne of the deadpan Paul Merton and his wife and fellow comic improviser Suki Webster clutch everything from a millennia-old ammonite to a set of bridge pencils.
Along the way, the couple discover something of their adopted county’s fascinating - if violent - agricultural past. And of course, not knowing an awful lot about antiques themselves, they have experts Margie Cooper and Charles Hanson squeezed into the back of a classic motor with them.

Geeta Guru-Murthy v Krishnan Guru-Murthy
Broadcaster Geeta Guru-Murthy and her brother, TV newsman Krishnan Guru-Murthy, visit a cornucopia of antique shops in the Home Counties in a 1965 Ford Mustang. They’re ably advised by cub reporters - and experts - Tim Medhurst and Steven Moore.
The journalists also enjoy a colourful stop-off beside the Thames, finding out how to create natural, sustainable clothing dyes from plants in the English countryside. Then, clutching everything from a butcher’s display pig to a coronation stool, they head towards their suspenseful sibling showdown at an auction in Swanmore, Hampshire.
