Kelso 10

Roo Irvine is in the market town of Kelso in the Scottish Borders, with a mystery object to show to shoppers. It’s small, made of silver, and has two ebonised wooden ends – but what is it? While you figure that out, two teams are bargain-hunting at a packed antiques fair. In red are married couple and keen dancers Graeme and Jackie, who plan to groove their way to victory. Their opponents in blue are long-time friends Sue and Marion, who are both into crafting.

Animals are the first things to catch the teams’ attention. At one stall, expert Irita Marriott picks out a small silver elephant for Jackie, while close by, Graeme spots a wooden model of a bull, but the pair keep mooov-ing. Meanwhile, David Harper and his blues find a bronze Romanesque tazza decorated with leopards. It’s well spotted, but the price is too high! With their shopping bags bulging with collectibles, the teams head south to Carlisle, where auctioneer Paul Laidlaw gives his all-important estimates before the bids go live and, ultimately, a winner is declared.
