Antiques Road Trip

Experts Catherine Southon and Tim Medhurst set off on a search for items, embarking on a journey across the countryside as they travel. They set out from the South Downs and head towards an auction in Christchurch on the Dorset coast.

The programme follows two specialists, Catherine Southon and Tim Medhurst, as they set out together on a focused search. Both are presented as experts, and the series centres on their collaborative effort to locate particular items, using their knowledge and experience to guide the adventure. Their quest begins in the rolling landscape of the South Downs, from where they launch their expedition. The pair travel eastward, moving across the countryside until they reach the coastal town of Christchurch on the Dorset coast, where an auction awaits as the final stop on their route. The journey highlights the transition from the inland hills of the South Downs to the seaside setting of Christchurch. As they progress, the changing scenery underscores the distance covered and the purpose of their travel, which is to attend the auction and seek out the items they are after. Ultimately, the episode culminates at the Christchurch auction, where the experts aim to secure the sought‑after pieces. Their arrival at the auction marks the conclusion of the search, tying together the initial departure from the South Downs with the coastal destination that frames the programme’s narrative.
