Paul Hayes

On valuation day, a woman seeks to pay off her student loans by offering up a cash register, and the arrival of a pair of garden clowns gives both Paul Martin and Paul Hayes food for thought.

In Lancashire, Paul Martin takes on antiques expert Paul Hayes in a race to find hidden treasures to auction. Items that tempt the pair include a collection of mediaeval coins and a jewellery box.

As Paul Martin and Paul Hayes vie for first choice of a 1950s record player, art nouveau doorhandles, and an enamelled silver trinket box, they must both attempt to deduce which item is the most valuable.

Locals bring in collectibles for valuation as Paul Martin and Paul Hayes look out for more high-value items. While a Chinese medicine tablet might be just what the doctor ordered, a silk woven stevengraph threatens to turn the tables.

Paul Martin goes head-to-head with Paul Hayes in their final battle of the week. Faced with the choice between classic and kitsch statues, the pair use their expertise to select the piece they think will get the highest bid.

The experts are tempted by an omega watch, antique golf clubs, and two ornate Chinese vases.
