Antiques experts travel across the country, competing to make a profit at auction. Charles Hanson and Catherine Southon hunt for antiques around Sussex. Charles also learns the stinky story behind Brighton's sewers, while Catherine hears how a big drill stopped a cholera epidemic. Cruising around in a 1950 MG Midget, the expert duo visit shops in Storrington, Petworth, Lewes and Peacehaven before heading to an auction in Paddock Wood, Kent. While Catherine plumps for English silver, Charles goes continental and gambles a significant proportion of his ú200 budget on a German Black Forest ink stand.
