A Whale of a Time

Episode 15 of 20

Auctioneer Hettie Jago takes on dealer Tim Medhurst for the final time. Can the newbie pull a win out of the bag?

It’s the last hoorah for our two delightful experts in the shiny white Jaguar replica roadster. Auctioneer and dealer Hettie Jago has been travelling the B roads of southern England with numismatist and dealer Tim Medhurst. This time they’re in Devon, territory that’s familiar to them both, as Hettie was born in Somerset and Tim lives in Dorset.

Once again, each of our antiques experts has a budget of £200, and the rummaging commences in the village of Hele (rhymes with ‘deal’).

Hettie spends big on a piece of jewellery she hopes will give her a chance of winning big at the final auction. Tim buys a slice of a nearly 1,000-year-old building and a very interesting treen box.

Then, after a brief break at the met office in Exeter, it’s time to head to the final auction in Lichfield, Staffordshire. Will this new friendship endure their last trip to the sale room?
