Margie Cooper and Ochuko Ojiri's B-road rummage through the antiques shops of the north west gets underway in the mighty city of Liverpool and continues across the Mersey towards Chester.

They point their 1960s classic car to the nearest shop, where Margie finds a silver egg cup with a royal connection, while Ochuko spends £100 on a 1940s fairground ride. This leg of the trip sees an eclectic mix of purchases for their £200 starting budget, including cast iron radiators and an anatomical model arm. But what will excite the bidders at the first auction in Newport, Shropshire?

In a break between the shops, Margie and Ochuko discover how zoos help in the struggle to stem the catastrophic decline of the planet's at-risk animal species and discover the story of the war games that helped win the Battle of the Atlantic.

Antiquers Margie Cooper and Ochuko Ojiri compete to find the most profitable antiques on their route south along the Welsh Border. Their 60-year-old classic car offers not only a little luxury but also has a huge boot for all the collectables and curios they'll take to auction.

A large Victorian oak barrel catches Margie's eye. Noting the craftsmen who made such containers are known as coopers, Margie hopes her namesake will help make her a profit. However, not all her buys are based purely on instinct, with more considered purchases including a jelly mould with a royal connection.

Meanwhile, Ochuko opts for an eclectic mix of buys: a mirror, an American money box and even some Danish egg cups. He raises a glass at auction for one standout find when some Sheffield silver excites the bidders.

Margie breaks from shopping to hear how the wool industry has helped support the needy and elderly in Shrewsbury for nearly 600 years, while Ochuko heads to Stourbridge to learn how immigrants built the industry that made the area world famous. He also turns his hand to glass blowing.
