The Isle of Wight: known for its picturesque scenery, charming seaside towns, and… dinosaur footprints? In the series 29 finale of Antiques Road Trip, Catherine Southon and Ishy Khan conclude their friendly competition amidst this unusual backdrop. While the prospect of a decisive auction always looms, this concluding episode appears to offer a touch of the prehistoric alongside the usual antiques hunt.
With the trusty Toyota Starlet as their chariot, Catherine and Ishy traverse the island’s charming byways. Among their discoveries, a 19th-century birdbath cayches Catherine’s eye, while Ishy, perhaps inspired by the seaside setting, opts for a collection of pewter ducks. However, it isn’t all porcelain and poultry. The pair’s explorations lead them to the island’s beaches, uncovering ancient dinosaur footprints – a touch of Jurassic Park in the typically genteel world of antique dealing.
As the final auction approaches, superstition seems to be in the air. Catherine seeks a wishbone, hoping it might grant her an edge, while Ishy chooses lucky horseshoes—a classic gambler’s charm. Will these talismans influence the final outcome?
Antiques Road Trip airs Friday, November 29 at 4:30 PM on BBC One.
