Antiques experts Raj Bisram and Irita Marriott put their foot down, cruising into Oxfordshire on the third leg of their east-to-west odyssey.

Irita finds some hefty items for the auction, but it鈥檚 a struggle just to get them to the counter to buy them. Raj finds the ideal item that no self-respecting gardener should be without, or so he thinks. They each go a bundle on items with an art nouveau flavour, as well as both finding something to keep them toasty and warm in the car.

Away from the antiques, Irita discovers the inspiring story of Britain鈥檚 only female Nobel prize winner in chemistry, who used her status to effect big changes on the world stage. Raj heads to a Bristol sports club to find out about its long history with table tennis and is challenged to a game by one of the club鈥檚 most experienced players.

A former railway station hotel is where they watch the next auction, complete with its own train line at the bottom of the garden, but which of them will be steaming ahead when their lots go under the hammer?
