BBC Two - Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, Series 9, Episode 16

Broadcaster Mariella Frostrup and designer Pearl Lowe rummage through antiques shops.

Broadcaster Mariella Frostrup and designer Pearl Lowe rummage through antiques shops and uncover Norwegian jewellery, African sculpture and some traditional English furniture. 

Velvet-voiced journalist and broadcaster Mariella Frostrup is joined by her friend, the fashion and interior designer Pearl Lowe, in their adopted county of Somerset. Both are paired with personal shoppers offering sage guidance, dealer Raj Bisram and auctioneer James Braxton. But who will haggle the hardest when it comes to making a deal?

Our celebrities and experts rummage through the antiques shops and uncover Norwegian jewellery, African sculpture and some traditional English furniture. 

A rather circuitous route means long before arriving at a London auction in Southgate, they discover the story of one of Britain’s very first animal rights campaigners and learn about the quirky folk revival of the Minehead Hobbyhorse.
