Episode 5 of Antiques Road Trip season 7 sees experts Catherine Southon and Tim Medhurst travel through the picturesque countryside of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire in search of hidden antiques. Splitting up for the day, Catherine sets off for an auction in Oxford, whilst Tim heads to a private estate in Stow-on-the-Wold.
Catherine's auction is packed with potential treasures, with items ranging from antique books to porcelain figurines. Catherine is particularly drawn to a collection of vintage paintings, which she thinks could fetch a high price at auction. However, she is also faced with some tough competition from other bidders, who are willing to pay top dollar for the most sought-after items.
Meanwhile, Tim visits an estate filled with vintage furniture and curiosities. He meets the owner who has collected an array of unique items over the years, including a stunning grandfather clock. Tim also takes a closer look at some of the antique tools and machinery that have been stored in the estate's barn for decades, many of which are in excellent condition and still fully functional.
As the day draws to a close, Catherine and Tim reunite to compare their finds and head to their final auction in Stroud. This auction is packed with lots of exciting antiques, from vintage clothing to unusual ornaments. Catherine and Tim have their eyes on several prizes, but they know that they'll need to bid smartly if they want to come out on top.
As the auction gets into full swing, tensions rise as rival bidders compete for the most valuable lots. Will Catherine and Tim be able to outdo their rivals and secure the best items for their collection? Or will they leave empty-handed, with nothing to show for their day of hunting?
