BBC One - Antiques Road Trip, Series 25, Episode 22

Izzie and James uncover a story of forbidden love on a trip through Wales and Shropshire.

Izzie Balmer and James Braxton visit Wales and Shropshire to buy a rare item from 1832. Expect stories of forbidden love and a forgotten Welsh cycling hero.

Experts Izzie Balmer and James Braxton are back on the road, travelling through Wales and Shropshire on their quest to find profit-making antiques. Their nippy 1970s two-seater is perfect for the twisting miles of bucolic back roads. There’s even a spot to pull over for a picnic.

Chocolate tiffin consumed, it’s soon time for shopping. Izzie splashes a three-figure sum on an 18th-century oak coffer and falls in love with a sampler stitched in 1832, both of which she thinks will make her a profit at the auction in Tring. James, meanwhile, has high hopes for a pair of 1911 silver scallop-shell butter dishes and an Edwardian mahogany table.
 
In a break from buying antiques, Izzie heads to Oswestry to find out how a forbidden love story set during the Second World War was uncovered. James takes a jaunt to Llandrindod Wells to learn about one of the first professional Welsh cyclists, who became a 19th-century world champion.
 
Then it’s off to the impressive Gwrych Castle to find out how well their purchases perform at auction.
