Available for years

An antiques expert, a market trader and an upcycler battle it out to make the most money for BBC Children in Need.

In this episode, fine art dealer Gavin Claxton, market trader Gary Barton and aeronautical engineer/part-time upcycler Stu Abbott head to Durham to find some bargains they can turn into some flipping profit.

The experts try to outdo each other by unearthing the best that Durham has to offer. Rummaging through antique shops, scrap yards and flea markets they have just one day to each find any items that will make them a huge profit. We then follow them over the next three weeks in their quest to make the most amount of profit in their own individual styles. As Stu gets mechanical, making money from bits and parts of a Mini, Gavin goes to auction to try to sell his pricey painting, and Gary uses all the Glasgow patter he can muster to sell his art deco bowls in Glasgow's famous Barras market. At the end of it all, who will make the most flipping profit? Show less
