Antiques experts Natasha Raskin Sharp and Steven Moore point their 1960s Rolls Royce north and to the Scottish Borders before heading on to Edinburgh for another auction. Natasha wastes little time when shopping, enchanted by a tobacco barrel manufactured by a quality maker. She also decides to buy a travel case, but only after she discovers the velvet-lined secret compartment it hides within. Away from the shops, Natasha visits an area renowned for its luxurious knitwear and the heritage of a once-booming local industry. Meanwhile, Steven may be in Scotland but his discoveries include a rare 18th-century teapot from Liverpool and an Italian glass vase. He also finds time to take in the sights at a site of international importance, where the Roman Empire found home in Scotland. Steven flushes out a bargain while visiting the loo in one antiques shop, finding some 18th-century tea bowls hidden away by the toilet. A break from shopping sees Steven set sail to South Shields and learn about the incredible restoration of a quite remarkable lifeboat. Meanwhile, indecisive Natasha makes a slow start, struggling to make a purchase before embarking on a spending spree and scooping up some fantastic buys including a pair of charming art deco vases. She manages to fit in an excursion to discover some secret tunnels and hear the murky past of those who once lived along the North Yorkshire coast. A humble-looking 17th-century box becomes the star lot of the Newcastle auction.
