Antiques Road Trip

Catherine Southon and Tim Medhurst cram their car boot with a range of antiques as they set off for an auction. The pair travel together to Hertfordshire, intent on selling a selection of old biscuit tins and turning a profit at the event.

The episode follows a small team as they set out on a day‑long venture with a car boot packed with various antiques. Catherine Southon and Tim Medhurst are the central figures, and the programme captures their preparation and the anticipation that comes with transporting a collection of vintage items to a new destination. With the boot loaded, they drive to an auction house in Hertfordshire. The journey forms the backbone of the episode, as the pair aim to turn their haul into a financial gain. Their destination is a local auction where they hope the items will attract interest from buyers and secure a decent return. The car boot is brimming with assorted antiques, each piece representing a potential source of profit. Catherine and Tim examine their collection as they approach the venue, weighing the value of each item. Their focus narrows onto a particular set of objects they believe could fetch a good price at the sale, later that day. The duo's primary target is a batch of old biscuit tins, items that often attract collectors seeking nostalgic pieces. They hope these tins will command a respectable sum when the auctioneer puts them under the hammer. Success would mean turning their antique haul into a tidy profit for them in the end.
