Overview
- A repeat BBC Two episode originally filmed in 2024 gained tabloid attention after airing, with coverage published Thursday that focused on the auction results and the size of each team's losses.
- On the show Matthew Wolfenden and expert Hettie Jago saw a vintage stereoscope bought for £20 sell for £7 and an Art Deco rouge pot bought for £90 sell for £16.
- Roxy Shahidi and expert Steven Moore had a Derbyshire pietra dura paperweight bought for £15 sell for £14 despite an on-screen claim it was worth at least £100, and a magic lantern bought for £236 sell for £30.
- Final tallies shown on the episode recorded Roxy and Steven with a loss of £284.38 and Matthew and Hettie with a loss of £225.46, making Matthew and Hettie the winners by incurring the smaller deficit.
- Participants reacted with disbelief and humour on camera, and the coverage highlights the wider point that television appraisals and expert enthusiasm do not always match real auction demand.
