Uttoxeter 3

Natasha Raskin Sharp presents this episode from the East Midlands – but she has to get there first! Fortunately, she’s arranged for a bus to pick her up, but it’s not just any old bus. It’s one of a fleet of heritage buses based in Lincolnshire run by the same family since the late 19th century. At their depot, Natasha learns about the single-seaters and double-deckers that shuttled thousands of locals around the county, including soldiers returning from the Second World War.

She alights at Uttoxeter Racecourse to host two teams of bargain hunters with £300 in their pockets and an hour on the clock. In red are sisters-in-law Marie and Dawn. With Irita Marriott by their side, they sweep the stalls, looking at a silver toast rack and a coopered barrel that has been turned into a dog bed. Meanwhile, friends Andrea and Mel are crazy about winning. They take a fancy to a funny-looking cake slice until John Cameron points out that it’s a fish slice – and back it goes!

In Grantham, auctioneer Kirsty Pearson works the sale room, while the reds consider Irita’s Dutch delight, and the blues decide whether to snap up John’s bonus buy.
