In Antiques Road Trip season 19 episode 14, antique experts take a trip through the picturesque Cotswolds. The team of experts, which includes two auctioneers, embark on a week-long journey around the beautiful countryside in search of valuable antiques and collectibles. The experts visit various locations, such as stately homes, antique fairs, and traditional auctions, to try and find hidden gems that could bring them a profit.
The two auctioneers, Christina Trevanion and Timothy Medhurst, have a friendly rivalry that keeps the audience entertained throughout the show. They compete against each other to find the most valuable items, and at the end of each day, they visit an auction house to sell their goods. The experts mustn't buy more than they can carry, and each expert has a budget of £200 per day to spend on antiques.
One of the antiques experts visits a stately home where they meet the owner and learn about the history of the estate. They take a tour of the house and discover some fascinating items with a connection to the family history.

The experts put their knowledge to the test, analyzing the age, quality, and condition of the items to help them decide which pieces to buy.
The experts also visit a traditional auction where they are able to sell their finds from the week. The tension is high as they each find out how much their items sell for, and they take it in turns to get up on stage and sell their treasures. It's an intense few moments where they don't know if they'll make a profit or a loss on their purchases.
Throughout the show, the experts meet some fascinating people who share their passion for antiques. They engage with experts in a variety of areas, from antique textiles to vintage cars, and learn new things about their field.
