Episode 15

Watchdog’s Nikki Fox and Matt Allwright take to the antiques trail in the Kent countryside. For good measure and expert guidance, our venerable journalists are accompanied by veteran Road Trippers Natasha Raskin Sharp and David Harper. Vintage wheels for their jaunt come courtesy of a 1970s Triumph and a 1950s Land Rover, with plenty of room in the back for all their purchases!

Fortunately, there are no rogue traders, just generous shop owners willing to give a discount on some very unusual finds, from novelty money boxes to ice cream dishes. As they seek out items to sell at auction, our rookie antiques dealers find the time to learn about William Morris’s manifesto to save ancient buildings, as well as discovering the connection between Kentish ragstone and the early Victorian dinosaur hunters.

There’s an auction showdown at a right royal setting, but who will be crowned the winner?
