Bargain Hunt Famous Finds

Toyah Willcox and Kiki Dee (2x9)

Air date: Apr 01, 2009

Rock chicks Toyah Willcox and Kiki Dee have shared the same bill in the past, but never for bargain hunting. The two women, both queens of the music business for over a quarter of a century, try to prove who has the best talent at spotting bargains. They both search an antique centre in Farnham, Surrey for treasures which will then be sold at an auction in Chiswick, London. During the shopping Tim Wonnacott takes time to discover what Toyah and Kiki enjoy collecting. Toyah admits to a love of Troika, so Tim takes a look at the St Ives pottery with her and shows her some examples of an earlier Cornish potter, Bernard Leach. Kiki brings along a delicate linen tablecloth made by her grandmother, a haberdasher, so Tim shows her a piece of needlework from around 1900 made from a kit sold by William Morris & Co.
