From solving crimes on the mean streets of London to scouring antique shops in the Lake District, “Dempsey and Makepeace” stars Michael Brandon and Glynis Barber reunite for a friendly rivalry on “Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.”
Trading their detective skills for a keen eye for vintage treasures, the real-life husband and wife team embarks on a buying spree from Kendal to Keswick, accompanied by experts Roo Irvine and Izzie Balmer – and their adorable maltipoo, Gigi.
Michael unearths a retro heater that could warm even the coldest Cumbrian night, along with a Buddha lamp that’s likely to raise a few eyebrows. Glynis, meanwhile, sets her sights on a collection of Victorian gold brooches, hoping they’ll bring sparkle to the auction.
Will their marital harmony survive the cutthroat world of antiques dealing, or will the competitive spirit drive a wedge between them? Tune in to find out who has the better eye for a bargain.
“Celebrity Antiques Road Trip” airs Wednesday, February 19, 2025, at 19:00 on BBC Two.
