On the road in Essex, it’s the continuing tale of two auctioneers - youthful and exuberant Izzie Balmer and young-at-heart Philip Serrell. They clock up the miles as they pass through five counties in their old motor. They’re best of pals, but occasionally the generation gap does start to show a bit.

We go shopping with Izzie, who makes an effort to move away from her favourite tiny, shiny things and tries her luck with some ‘brown furniture’, usually much more Phil’s thing. Mr Serrell has a go at something new, encroaching into Izzie territory with some jewellery. They navigate past some tightly packed shops, security dogs and the occasional zombie.

Away from the shops, Izzie pops into Cambridge to discover how a chapel for a group of medieval outcasts was the starting point for one of the largest fairs in the country. Philip heads underground to discover an amazing chamber, just below a busy main road, the origins and purpose of which are a complete mystery.

Then it’s time to send their prized purchases off to auction in Hertfordshire to see if they can turn a profit.
