Antiques expert Tim Wonnacott (BARGAIN HUNT) sets off on a fascinating journey investigating the scenic towns and cities of Britain and the antiques and collectables that define their particular area. Towing his vintage Airstream caravan, Tim visits a lively local event at each stop on the map to explore the surroundings and history of the area as well as meet some of the locals - owners, enthusiasts, collectors - who've brought along their precious treasures for him to look at. Tim draws on his immense knowledge of antiques to unravel their histories and provenance, which often takes him on visits to see relevant collections of historical importance. His travels take him to Glasgow, Bakewell, London, Windsor, Hay on Wye, Cambridge, Derby, Bristol, Worcester and Manchester where he encounters a wide variety of objects from a vintage car to Georgian porcelain and fine glass, as well as the quirkiest of items from a peep egg to a dongola oar!

He examines the great legacy of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, looks at some classic motorbikes made in Bristol and discovers the success of the Bristol brass industry which flourished in the 1700s. London Tim Wonnacott is in London's Covent Garden to put the capital on the Great Antiques Map of Britain.
