From lockets of Whitby jet to bracelets made of human hair, Victorian mourning jewellery is a fascinating area of interest for collectors. Danny Sebastian meets one woman who has an array of items from the mid-1800s, including lockets containing hair and messages from deceased loved ones. At Newark Showground, two teams of friends search the stalls for bargains to sell at auction. Lynne and Hannah are certain they will win despite Lynne never having been to an antiques fair, a car boot sale or even a second-hand shop! Competing for a golden gavel are pals Adam and Scott, who think they will be cautious shoppers as they both work in insurance. \n\nGuided by expert Izzie Balmer, the reds pick a pair of transfer-printed vases, but Izzie isn’t convinced they’ll make a profit at auction. Ben Cooper and the blues spot a giant papier mache head of Hollywood comedian Stan Laurel, but at £450, it’s a fine mess they can’t afford to get themselves into! The teams then head to Nottingham, where auctioneer Hettie Jago gives Danny her estimates on their items before they go under the hammer - but who will come out on top?
