The show aired on BBC Two on Wednesday, December 28, after they were spotted filming in Norfolk back in August. 

In the opening sequence, Richard said "it is very bucolic", as he referred to the pleasant aspects of the Norfolk countryside.

The team's first stop was at Wymondham Antique Centre before they headed to Norwich. 

Ingrid and antique expert Raj Bisram were greeted by Reverend Canon Andy Bryant at Norwich Cathedral and sat in the cloisters to learn about our city's relationship with dragons and Saint George.

Right on cue, as in tradition, the much-loved Snap the Dragon was spotted through the Cathedral cloisters.

As they started their second day travelling through the county, Richard said: "I had such an amazing day yesterday, it is kind of idyllic round here - the sunshine and antiquing."

The show visited Timeline Antiques Centre in North Walsham, Letheringsett Water Mill Holt Antiques and Interiors Centre before the husband-and-wife duo went to the auction house.
