Raj Bisram and Irita Marriott - Day 1

Episode 1 of 25

Experts Raj Bisram and Irita Marriott hit the road again, winding each other up, cracking bad jokes and looking for exquisite antiques in Wales. It’s going to be hair-raising!

It’s been no time at all since antique experts Irita Marriott and Raj Bisram last road-tripped together, but they are back by popular demand! There is only one thing our riotous rivals love more than finding quality antiques, and that’s winding each other up. It’s hair-raising stuff, quite literally in this episode. Kicking off in north Wales, they have £1,500 each in spending money and a fabulous Vanden Plas Princess to travel around in.

The last time these two met, it was Irita who took the crown, so Raj is after all the help he can get, even consulting a practitioner of the mystic arts to gain the upper hand. Meanwhile, Irita’s shopping turns into an assault course as she tackles the stairs leading into a loft crammed with antiques. But can she turn on the charm to get some tasty discounts?

It’s back to school for Raj as he heads for a remote but stunning stretch of Welsh coastline to discover how the national language was brought close to extinction before becoming a defining feature of modern-day Wales. He also picks up enough vocabulary in the class to order his afternoon tea. Bendigedig!

Then, having bought everything from barometers to Shelley tea services, it’s time for round one of this best-of-five auction showdowns.
