Funny-man Brian Conley and broadcaster Nick Owen take a trip through Shropshire and Worcestershire. Assisting Nick is auctioneer Philip Serrell, while jewellery and gem expert Kate Bliss helps Brian. A Sinatra figurine, a Georgian toddy ladle and a Morecambe and Wise poster attract much interest. Despite shopping on a deadline, there's still time to detour from the emporiums. Phil takes Nick to hear about the heartbreaking story of unrequited love endured by his favourite poet. Kate and Brian, meanwhile, learn why brave Shropshire men have played a part in some of the most significant moments in history. It all comes to a head when smoothie Nick tries to beat rough diamond Brian at auction with some unexpected results.
