Olympic gold medallists Dame Kelly Holmes and Sally Gunnell OBE know a thing or two about competition, and there's no stopping them when they head off in search of antique bargains. Dame Kelly's running mate is her mum Pam, while Sally brings along her best mate Emma for support. The teams scour an antique centre in London and find a number of items which they hope will break all records at auction.

Actors Christopher Timothy and Lysette Anthony are right at home on a television set or in a theatre, but put them in an auction sale room and it is quite a different story. The pair shop for bargains at the Barkham Antiques Centre in Berkshire with their finds going up for auction later in London. Christopher is partnered for the show by actor friend Richard O'Callaghan and assisted by antiques expert Kate Bliss. During the shopping day Christopher discusses his passion for Elvis Presley with Tim and is shown some Elvis collectables, including a replica Elvis jumpsuit worth 3,000 pounds and some of 'The King's' hair, validated by his barber. Lysette is partnered by friend and yoga teacher Michelle Pernetta. Antiques expert Mark Stacey helps guide the team through their buys. Tim begins by showing her a selection of tea cups from the Royal Worcester Museum, including one that was owned by Lord Nelson and valued for at least 10,000 pounds. Among the items the teams find is a rather special old railway sign and an Art Nouveau lamp base, assumed to have once lit a stylish railway dining compartment. But will the items make any profit when they are sold?
