Series 73: Kelso 8

Presenter Roo Irvine delivers a reel-y good show from the Scottish Borders. In Kelso, Roo visits a museum dedicated to angling, where she learns about the town’s long association with salmon fishing and the early wooden reels and rods used on the River Tweed. On the river's shore, she has a go at fly-fishing and finds out that women hold the records for the largest salmon caught.\n\nMeanwhile, two teams hope to reel in profits when they go shopping at a busting antiques fair in the company of experts Irita Marriott and David Harper. In red are nurses Katie and Emily, who confess to learning about antiques from watching the show. In blue are James and John, who became firm friends in a university band. The lads are on the hunt for silver, and at one stall, David’s detective work earns the team their first purchase. Elsewhere, the reds reject an umbrella stand with a thistle stamped on it before a jewellery cabinet catches their attention.\n\nCasting his keen eye over the teams’ items is a familiar face to viewers, auctioneer Paul Laidlaw, who makes sure the bids come thick and fast in his saleroom in Carlisle.
