Antiques Road Trip presenter uses one word to sum up trip

Antiques experts David Harper and Catherine Southon each used one word to sum up their time on the BBC One show.

The pair have been touring the south coast this week and were in Devon for Friday's instalment of the popular daytime show. Having a natter in their car, Catherine asked: "If you had one word to sum up this trip what would it be?"

David said it's been "heavenly" while Catherine said she would use the word "hilarious". David added: "Oh good. Heavenly and hilarious, a very good combination."

Elsewhere, David shared a tip when hunting for pieces you think would suit your home. Picking up a beaded West African fetish doll, he explained the statement piece would be offered as a gift at weddings and is "full of love and good luck".

David said it wasn't old and estimated it would be lucky to be "15 or even 20 years old".

However, he added: "In antiques, strictly speaking, something needs to be 100 years old," he added. "But it's just got the look. And the look in antiques and interiors is more important than age."

The statement piece was priced at £35. David added: "I love buying things that other people hate. This brings all your senses alive."

The doll ended up selling for £95 and certainly did bring good luck.
