A Scottish adventure with best buds and old adversaries Phil Serrell and Natasha Raskin-Sharp. In the village of Rait, Tash goes retro with some West German kitchenalia and Phil 'hammers' out a fair deal of his own.

Can one extend their unassailable lead or will the other have another win?

Welcome to rookie Danny Sebastian! In Kent, Danny's ready for his first battle with Irita Marriott. Danny plumps for a pair of silver dogs, a jewelry box and a fruit knife, while Irita takes home two tea sets and some antique door knockers.
