Wetherby 6
Opportunity knocks for two couples at Wetherby Racecourse antiques fair, with experts Charles Hanson and Philip Serrell guiding them around the stalls.
Knock knock! Who鈥檚 there? It鈥檚 Danny Sebastian banging on about the history of door knockers, from Ancient Greece right through to the lion on the famous front door of 10 Downing Street. In Caroline Hawley鈥檚 saleroom, Danny sees an impressive collection of door knockers, amassed by one man over a lifetime, now going under the hammer. And Caroline is the right woman to be selling them 鈥� it turns out she鈥檚 a massive fan of door knockers too!
Over at the antiques fair, which team is knocking on the door of a profit? Is it partners Rob and Sam, or married couple Janet and Bob? Expert Philip Serrell wonders whether his blues will sail away with a nautical themed jug, and Charles winds up his reds with a bird in a cage automaton 鈥� until they see the price tag. It ain鈥檛 鈥榗heep鈥�!
