The host and the show’s crew visited The Beehive, Alnwick Vintage and Antique, and Hedgeley Antiques to purchase some items, which will then be auctioned in the show.

The show involves Paul Martin going head-to-head with a rival expert throughout each week of episodes, completing a series of challenges before auctioning off collected antiques at the end of each day.
