The Sacred Art of Brewing

Episode 9 of 20

Slick dealer Danny Sebastian and auctioneer queen Irita Marriott blast to Suffolk for the penultimate leg. Snapping up a cider flagon and sad-looking puppy, it’s a riotous adventure.

Dealer Danny Sebastian and queen gavel-wielder Irita Marriott are in Suffolk in their all-electric classic Beetle.

Danny grabs a great big cider flagon, a delicate 19th-century ormolu trinket box and a natty hat stand. Danny also does Danny, with the usual hijinks, including singing, playing a piano and having a go on a kiddies’ scooter.

Irita is playing it super-cool and is slow to part with her cash but finally revs up to dish out the dosh on a variety of goodies, including a pewter plate she adores and a little cold-painted doggie.

In amongst all the shopping frivolities, we also squeeze in a visit in Cambridgeshire to the first Japanese-owned brewery in Britain. We discover the sacred art of brewing sake and how it has evolved to become synonymous with Japanese culture.

And if all that wasn’t enough, there’s the high-octane auction as well. Who will clinch the win?
