Antiques challenge. Roo Irvine and James Braxton scour the shops of Liverpool and Manchester, and uncover the history of black seafarers along the way.

Antiques hunters Roo Irvine and James Braxton scour the shops of Liverpool and Manchester, on the lookout for beautiful old things. En route, they hear the David and Goliath story of women's football at the turn of the 20th century, and in Liverpool, they uncover the history of black seafarers. James makes a beeline for some brass and copper tea-making equipment, while Roo is smitten by an enormous piece of ceramic. But who will be victorious when the hammer falls at auction in Rotherham?
