Antiques Road Trip S18 E21-E25 (1280x720p HD, 50fps, soft Eng subs)
E21
Ex-military man and auctioneer Angus Ashworth challenges David Harper to an antiques duel in Braveheart territory. Armed with a nutcracker, a bear and a swan, will Angus be able to fight off David's punchbowl and shooting stick?
Bootscrapers and barometers are pressed into service from antiques emporia in the shires of Stirling and Perth as the campaign marches to the banks of the River Tay. And while David visits the most majestic of trees at Scone Palace, where Scottish monarchs were once crowned, Angus heads to Gleneagles to discover the story of falcons serving king and country in the Second World War.
This is a battle royal, but who will raise the standard at auction in Dundee?
E22
Angus Ashworth puts both his left feet forward in a spot of Lancashire clog dancing, while David Harper reads from a secret diary written in code which reveals explicit details of a relationship sealed in what might be Britain's first gay marriage, 200 years ago.
A pact to surprise one another results in things taking a continental turn - David takes up the accordion, a vintage Italian one, while Angus hopes a French pipe in the shape of a cockerel won't go up in smoke at auction. Unsurprisingly, Angus has to go cap in hand to his last dealer to secure a last purchase, intent on blowing his entire stash once again.
Who will salvage their fortunes this time as they make their way to a saleroom in Angus's beloved Yorkshire with a boot load of chimney pots, old cases and a galvanised steel washtub? As they say in these parts, where there's muck there's brass.

The Yorkshire Appreciation Society continues its tour of the Ridings, from Halifax to Harrogate. New expert Angus Ashworth and veteran David Harper are happy to be on home turf, but they are becoming ever more competitive. David travels local-style, driving a vintage tractor at the David Brown museum, while foot soldier Angus pays his respects to Annie Bindon Carter, a Sheffield artist who created a business employing First World War amputees.
While David plumps for a vintage trouser press, scales and a chestnut roaster, Angus takes up the sword and the powder flask as his weapons of choice. Will military might prevail at the Harrogate auction?
E25
It is the last leg for Angus Ashworth and David Harper, and they park the classic VW and go for a walk. Angus takes the pilgrims' watery route over the sea to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, and David Harper hoofs it up the longest avenue in Scotland at Marchmont House.
Raiding antiques shops on both sides of the border, they bag some booty in a last-ditch attempt to win the day. With his head full of saints and relics, Angus is drawn to two rather gothic purchases, while David gets in touch with his militant feminist side, snapping up some hat pins he thinks are of Suffragette origin. As they career towards the finishing line at an auction in Alnwick, it is the last chance for them to show what they are made of.
