The Travelling Auctioneers

On the wild coast of Northumberland, Christina Trevanion and Will Kirk meet avid hot air balloonists and obsessive antiques collectors Jennifer and Richard. They need help to move on some of their prized possessions so they can take a trip to the USA to meet the newest arrival to their far-flung family. 

In their scout around the house, our pair of experts get quite literally stuck in. Will gets to work on a music-related piece of furniture with fond family memories, while Christina builds up a collection of fine French ornaments, one of which might not have been as cherished as the others. 

Will finds himself in a room that's his natural habitat, and Christina discovers something in the back of a cupboard that's packed with forgotten treasures. However, a tray full of sparklier items might hold the key to getting Richard and Jennifer to the States. 

The saleroom on wheels rolls into County Durham, with the grand setting of the Bowes Museum as its backdrop. Lots of eager bidders gather to peruse Jennifer and Richard's fine exhibits, but will the couple make enough at auction to send them to America for that first hug with their new grandson?
