Margie Cooper and Tim Medhurst embark on their final Antiques Road Trip adventure together, exploring the South Wales valleys in a rather unusual, electric-powered former fire engine. Their journey culminates in Cardiff, but not before some intriguing stops along the way. This episode promises a blend of historical insights, competitive auction action, and the duo’s signature camaraderie.
From pottery obelisks that seem to channel otherworldly energies to a set of psychic sketches, their antique hunting takes a mystical turn. Viewers are also introduced to a secret language of antique enthusiasts – who knew such a thing existed? The discovery of an antique fan adds a touch of elegance to the proceedings, and we can only hope it doesn’t end up sparking a bidding war between our two antique aficionados.
In Brynmawr, Margie looks into the flamboyant life and career of Adrian Street, a Welsh wrestler known for his theatrical performances and glamorous attire. Meanwhile, Tim tries his hand at wrestling, learning a valuable lesson about grappling with the Welsh. It seems there’s more to it than meets the eye!
As they approach their final auction, the tension mounts. Who will emerge victorious, and who will be left figuratively “on the mat”? Will Margie’s keen eye for detail prevail, or will Tim’s strategic bidding snatch the win? Tune in to witness the final showdown and see who takes home the bragging rights.
