Antiques experts travel across the country, competing to make a profit at auction. James Braxton and Charles Hanson travel south from Glasgow, shopping in Ayrshire and Lanarkshire, before selling at an auction in Hamilton.

James stops in Ardeer to hear why the local beach is connected to the Nobel Peace Prize, and Charles stops off to hear about a local man who became a pioneering social reformer.
