Episode 6

It's a trip to the frozen north of England for antiques experts Natasha Raskin Sharp and Charles Hanson, on the opening salvo of their epic expedition together. It's not the first time these two have gone toe to toe, and the competitive spirit is high, not least in respect of who can drive their vintage vehicle better. Their transportation is the oldest car ever to grace the trip, a 1932 Riley Monaco. It's not always the easiest motor to handle, but it looks the part as they head off to shop with their £200 starting kitty.

In antique centres all across the north east, our pair get rummaging. Charles unearths a rather fine 19th-century Japanese find and some items from closer to home but further back in time. Natasha relies on some obscure primary school knowledge to decode one of her finds and gets her hands on an item that's ecclesiastical in nature.

In a break from shopping, Charles heads to Morpeth to hear the harrowing tale of one famous resident's part in the struggle for women's right to vote. Natasha learns about the race to find a safe form of lighting to protect workers in the region's largest industry and discovers how the inhabitants of Newcastle got their nickname.

Then it's off to the fabulous Bowes Museum to find out how well their purchases perform at auction.
