Fasten your seatbelts, comedians Lloyd Griffith and Rhys James are hitting the road on “Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.” This Wednesday, they’ll be tearing through Wales and southwest England in a rather stylish Jaguar E-Type, all in pursuit of antique treasures. Accompanying them on this potentially chaotic adventure are jewellery expert Hettie Jago and coin guru Tim Medhurst, who will hopefully keep the duo on track.
Rhys unearths a peculiar find in Pontypool: a picture frame that also happens to be a radio. Lloyd counters with a quirky sporting scoreboard discovered in Monmouth. Will these oddball items bring auction glory? Only time (and some competitive bidding) will tell.
But the real entertainment isn’t confined to antique shops. A behind-the-scenes trip to Bristol’s Zoo Project promises some messy and undoubtedly hilarious moments. The zoo visit is a perfect blend of the comedians’ offbeat humor and the series’ inherent silliness, practically ensuring comical chaos. The quips fly as fast as the auction bids as Rhys and Lloyd attempt to outdo each other to become the winning antique hunter.
Catch the comedic clash on BBC Two this Wednesday, March 26th at 7:00 PM.
