Eric Knowles takes a trip down memory lane when he speaks to a young collector of vintage advertising signs. Ben Bush shows Eric his extensive collection and shares some tips on how to tell the difference between original and replica signs. \n\nAt a wet antiques fair in Wolsingham, County Durham, two teams of friends compete for the biggest profits at auction. On the red team are old pals Claire and Caroline, guided by Colin Young. In blue are mates Teri-Anne and Tilly, led by Irita Marriott. Early in their shop, the reds stumble upon a scratch-built piggy bench but decide it’s too risky to take to market. Then, a vintage toy poodle called Colin has the team and their expert in stitches. Meanwhile, the blues spot a pair of 1920s ladies shoes with flashy buckles, but the team soon kicks them into touch.\n\nFor the auction, the teams head to East Yorkshire, where auctioneer Caroline Hawley whips up a crowd of bidders at Beverley Racecourse. Who will be first past the post?
