Antiques challenge. It is the third leg of Anita Manning and Paul Laidlaw's trip. They are on the Anglo-Scottish border hunting for collectibles to take to auction in Cumbria.

It is the third leg of Anita Manning and Paul Laidlaw's road trip. This time they are on the Anglo-Scottish border hunting for collectibles and curios to take to auction in Cumbria. Anita hopes a tiny Victorian mechanical pencil will propel her to a big profit, while militaria man Paul falls for a rather unique sweetheart fob watch from the Second World War in the shape of a Tommy helmet. Paul detours to learn why a butcher and his apprentice from a small town in the Scottish Borders devised a sport that is now a global hit.

Also expect a pack of dogs who are arguably the cutest in Scotland - a breed with a fascinating story and an intriguing name.
