The Great Auction Showdown with Paul Martin

This week, Paul Martin's in and around Lancashire as he takes on one of the North West's most prolific antique experts; Paul Hayes. In their first challenge, locals bring their antiques and collectibles to a valuation hub, but only the best items will be put under the hammer. Will either auctioneer be tempted with a selection of mediaeval coins, a black forest jewellery box, or the Vermeer styled masterpiece? As they head into the second round, they find themselves against the clock, as they race around the Preston Antique Centre in search of hidden treasures that could make them a profit in the sale room. The third challenge gives both rivals the chance to bag a big money star lot which could transform their fortunes. Who will gain the 18th century tall boy and who will end up with a pair of urns, that could be highly desirable? It's all to play for as the final auction takes place, but who will take the crown as the day's winner.
