Brown furniture used to command high prices at auction, but sadly it’s not as fashionable as it once was. In this episode, Christina Trevanion meets a man with a talent for transforming unloved tables. In his workshop, Somerset-based painter David Mendel shows Christina how he takes inspiration from classic designs and gives unwanted furniture a new lease of life.

In nearby Shepton Mallet, two teams are shopping for profitable antiques with their experts. Friends and neighbours Pat and Linda have sparkly items on their shopping list, but bizarrely it’s a flamingo-headed walking cane that catches their eye when they go browsing with Raj Bisram! Over with the blues, sisters Jess and Jo vow to move on if nothing jumps out at them, so expert Thomas Forrester has his work cut out! Then it’s off to auction in Devon where the reds and blues’ lots go under the hammer.
