Antiques Road Trip

We blast off with a bouncy new trip in sunny Suffolk with antiques hotshots Raj Bisram and Irita Marriott. This riotous caper sees our pair armed with £200 to spend on something delightfully antique. It's a cautious start for Irita, but she ends up blowing the lot on, amongst other goodies, a supremely unusual 19th-century automaton. She also finds time to discover Lowestoft's local hero from the Great War and how a certain Tom Crisp took to the seas in his wooden fishing smack to fight the dark menace of the German U-boat.

Raj, on the other hand, is full of pep as he energetically acquires a bevy of buys, including a damaged Doulton stoneware flask that Irita thinks is the double of our very own Philip Serrell. During his adventure, Raj finds out why the last maharajah of the Sikh empire made this area his home in the late 19th century and just how extraordinary his daughter Princess Catherine was to early feminism and as rescuer of Jewish families from Nazi Germany.

And if that wasn't enough, we have an auction to attend. Who on earth will be the first champ of this rip-roaring adventure?
