The Language of Antique Fans

Season 29 Episode 5 | 43m 20s

The South Wales valleys are the setting of the final outing for best pals, Margie Cooper and Tim Medhurst. Hitting the shops, our pair summon the support of the spirits with a pottery obelisk and some spooky psychic sketches. We learn a secret 19th century language as one antique fan finds an antique, um, fan. But at their final auction slamdown, will it be Tim or Margie who ends up on the mat?
