Series 74: Ardingly 22

A poster collection tops the bill in this episode from West Sussex.\n\nIn Horsham, Charlie Ross marvels at historic posters collected by local man William Albery. Examples include an appeal for a stolen fat sheep, a concert to raise money for the victims of the Titanic and instructions on how to avoid catching Spanish flu. Each poster demonstrates the bold typography and social history that Albery loved so much.\n\nHoping to post the biggest profit at auction is the red team, friends Kully and Arti, who reckon that the blues are going to lose. Their opponents are mum and daughter Judith and Tilly who are in it to win it.\n\nAmong the stalls of Ardingly antiques fair, Kully spots colourful signs painted on scaffold boards, including one about kite flying – until expert Jonathan Pratt decides it may crash at auction. Inside, Judith spies a silver bookmark in the shape of a trowel. She’s thinking constructively – but expert Kate Bliss isn’t impressed by its lack of age.\n\nIn Buckinghamshire, auctioneer Hugo Lemon works hard for the teams, but what can JP rustle up for his bonus buy – with only one pound to spend?
