Manta Ray Pop

Episode 11 of 15

Izzie and Mark hit the road on their epic east coast odyssey. There’ll be intriguing art, cocktail party accessories, Victorian beauty hacks and auction dramas to boot.

We’re winding through Yorkshire with experts Izzie Balmer and Mark Hill in a red sporty 1970s Opel Manta on the first leg of their trip from the north of England all the way down to the south coast. There will be plenty of seaside shenanigans to enjoy as they hug the east coast of the country.

On their travels, our duo come across all manner of goodies. Mark takes a shine to a piece of 20th-century art, which he hopes is the right way up, while Izzie plans the perfect party with the purchase of some very fancy cocktail sticks. They also come across a hidden high street and learn how Victorian ladies spent a lot of effort – and risked their health – to look as if they weren’t wearing make-up at all.

Then, our fresh-faced pair head to auction to see which of their items get a glow-up.
