Taunton 13

Christina Trevanion sits down with a cuppa and a magazine to read about the changing lifestyles of women in the 20th century. Writer Philippa Lewis shows her an extraordinary collection of women’s magazines, some dating back 100 years, full of advice about housekeeping and child rearing.

Advising the teams in Taunton are experts Ben Cooper and Danny Sebastian as they go shopping at a gigantic antiques centre in the town. On the red team are dad and daughter Alex and Jasmine, and in blue are engaged couple Immy and Graham, who are hoping to put their prize money towards a wedding.

On the prowl for a quick bargain, the reds pick up a resin model of a leopard. Meanwhile, the blues eye up a pair of opera glasses. At Tim Weeks’s auction near Chippenham, Ben keeps the flame of hope alive with his bonus buy, and Danny hatches a plan to make a profit with his.
