Two familiar voices of the airwaves compete to see if they can cause a bit of a noise at auction.

Radio 2 presenter Janice Long competes against perennial broadcaster and writer Mike Read to see who can find the best buys at an antique centre in London and then sell them for the most profit.

Janice is accompanied by her son, Fred, while Mike is partnered with Ken Wharf, former bodyguard to Princess Diana.

During their time shopping for bargains, presenter Tim Wonnacott takes time out to discuss Janice's interest in wall vases with her and discovers Mike's fascination with the poet Rupert Brooke. Among the items Mike brings along to show Tim are Brooke's reading glasses and diary.

There is great excitement for both teams when their items come up for sale at auction. Show less
