This episode takes place in Staffordshire and features Vanessa and Rukun Yorkshire.

Paul Martin teaches people the tricks of the antiques trade. This episode takes place in Staffordshire and features Vanessa from London and Rukun from Yorkshire.

Paul Martin meets two newbie dealers who want to learn the tricks of the antiques trade. They put up their own hard-earned cash to buy items at auction in the hope that they can sell them on and make themselves as big a profit as possible. Under Paul's knowledgeable eye, they have to decide what is best to buy and what will sell easily.

How will they cope with the pressure? How do you find a buyer for a huge fossil which is millions of years old or a 1920s desk clip in the shape of a pistol? Once their selling is complete they meet up again with their tutor who gives them a critique on their selling skills and then announces which of them has made the largest profit and proved themselves capable of dealing.

This episode comes from Staffordshire, and Vanessa Elliot from London takes on Rukun Ahmed from Yorkshire.
