The final leg of Antiques Road Trip’s West Country jaunt takes a cheeky turn as experts James Braxton and Izzie Balmer conclude their treasure hunt along England’s south coast. With only £200 each and the competitive spirit burning bright, the duo scours the shops of Liskeard, Plymouth, Ashburton, and Kingsbridge, hoping to uncover hidden gems and turn a tidy profit at auction.
While Izzie unearths a teacup steeped in 250 years of history, James stumbles upon a rather more risqué find: a glass figurine that’s sure to raise a few eyebrows. Amidst the antiquing, the pair take a detour to explore Plymouth’s rock pools and learn about a remarkable 90-year ocean survey, adding a touch of natural history to their historical pursuits.
The main event though is always the auction. Will James’s suggestive figurine or Izzie’s historic teacup fetch the highest price? Who will emerge victorious in this week-long battle of the bargain hunters? Tune in to BBC One at 4:30 PM on Friday, February 28th to witness the final gavel fall and discover who takes home the bragging rights. One thing’s for sure: their trusty 1949 Morris Minor is in for one last scenic ride.
