Keep Calm and Bowl On

Episode 9 of 20

Lancashire and the Lakes beckon for James and Natasha on round four of their road trip. Will they be bowled over by what they find in the shops?

The competition hots up for our adventuring antiquers, Natasha Raskin Sharp and James Braxton. There’s everything to play for as we head into Lancashire and the Lake District, but our duo in the Daimler still find time to share a few fashion tips.

In the shops of the north west, Natasha goes a bundle for boxes, as well as eyeing up more brooches, but she draws the line at a historical 'hottie' that’s not that hot. James takes a fancy to some sizeable and suitably heavy items, even if he doesn’t always know what they are, but a big spend leaves him a little light in the pocket. And when the shopping gets too much, there’s always time for a spot of antiques bowling. Not always advisable when surrounded by delicate objects.

As he’s in the Lakes, James gets an introduction to some very local, free-roaming inhabitants to discover how, in a time before roads, they served as the delivery vans of their day. He also gets first-hand experience of just how fast they can go.

Then it’s time for saleroom showdown number four. Who will come out on top, and will heckling help?
