Episode 4

We’re on safari with Road Trip pals Margie Cooper and Ochuko Ojiri as they get up close and personal with some Worcestershire wildlife in their vintage Jaguar. It’s their fourth leg and, pockets bulging with profits from previous auctions, there’s nothing to stop them from spending big apart from their own nerves. At the shops, Margie makes a beeline for some of her favourite stuff, silver. But it’s a collection of 19th-century porcelain with a fascinating history that really grabs her attention. Meanwhile, Ochuko’s eye is drawn to a piece of 1970s modern art that might be a bigger find than even he realises. Taking a break from the shopping, Margie discovers how Victorian ingenuity transformed the kitchen and started the boom in culinary gadgets. Ochuko heads to Malvern to find out about a wartime invasion of scientists and the top-secret invention that would change the course of the war. Then it’s off to the auction with big profits on their radar.
