Episode 8
Actors Robert Daws and Mark Curry go antique hunting in Lancashire, where they find a real-life Sherlock Holmes and join a drag queen cabaret. Antiquers Roo and Izzie offer expert advice.
Actors Robert Daws and Mark Curry compete to be the award-winning antiquer of stage and screen. Robert, star of Poldark and The Royal, thinks his experience of costume dramas will give him an upper hand over former Blue Peter presenter and West End star Mark. Expert advice is supplied by Roo Irvine and Izzy Balmer.
The foursome motor around Lancashire, scouring emporia for antiques and collectables. Easily distracted, they also make time to celebrate the success of drag in Blackpool and find out about a real-life Sherlock Holmes from Manchester.
Huge gambles see one team splash a three-figure sum on a table, while the others spend big on an 1850s chair. Who’ll come out top after an auction in Lichfield?
