Stoneleigh 11

Eric Knowles and the teams are limbering up for an action-packed show at Stoneleigh antiques fair in Warwickshire. Eric meets the eldest son of a local legend, Jamaican-born weightlifter Louis Martin, who moved to Derby as a young man. After winning world and Olympic titles, he became known by many as Britain’s greatest weightlifter.

Experts Caroline Hawley and Tim Weeks are on hand to coach two teams of antique hunters as they scour the stalls. On the red team, engaged couple Natasha and Joe fall in love with a cute silver chicken pin cushion, but will it hatch a profit at auction? Their opponents in blue are mother and son Shelly and Dickie. Expert Tim guides them towards buying a striking Bakelite item, but when they reach the saleroom in Derby, things don’t quite go to plan!
