In a 2017 episode of the Antiques Road Trip, expert Charles Hanson accidentally broke a timeless relic. The series, known for valuing unusual items for large amounts of money, took an awkward turn as Charles made an unfortunate mistake that cost him. The episode featured Charles and Christina Trevanion on a road trip to Manchester, where Charles made an error while handling a duelling-type pistol from the year 1833.
The show has captivated audiences over the years, as seen in a recent 2021 episode where expert Paul Laidlaw made history by turning a £60 find into a five-figure profit. While searching through a cluttered store, Paul stumbled upon an optical instrument priced at £75. After some negotiation, he purchased it for £60. At the auction, the instrument’s bidding went into the thousands before reaching a record-breaking price of £20,000, leaving Paul “flabbergasted” at the outcome.
