The second leg of the road trip for Paul Laidlaw and Margie Cooper kicks off in medieval York as they motor their Morris Minor to auction in Darlington. Paul learns about the man credited as the 'father of aviation' and the story of how this aristocrat sent his footman skyward in a hand-built wooden plane, with obvious consequences. Meanwhile, Margie hears about a 19th-century beast wrestler who championed British wildlife. Hoping for a repeat of his £20,000 success in last series, Paul has high hopes for a mysterious little Islamic pot. Margie's on the right track for profits when she secures a great deal on a Hornby train set.
