Ardingly 23

Charlie Ross uncorks an episode of the show fizzing with fun and excitement at the South of England Showground in West Sussex. Among the stalls at Ardingly antiques fair, he quizzes punters about a mystery metal object. While they ponder its purpose, two teams of antiques hunters search for three profitable items to take to auction.

On the red team are friends Alex and Ollie, skippered by expert Jonathan Pratt. Against them are the blues, pals Lesley and Rachel, who are shopping with expert Kate Bliss. Early in their shop, Kate spots a silk handbag that looks as if it's art deco but on closer inspection is revealed to be something later, so it goes back in the cabinet. Over with the reds, the lads spy an Edwardian desk set, but Jonathan doesn’t think it’s very practical, so it fails to make the grade.

With minutes left on the clock, one team relaxes with a cake and a cuppa, while the other rushes to bag their last buy. In Buckinghamshire, auctioneer Hugo Lemon is ready and waiting to sell the teams’ items, but can he hammer out profits for either of them?
