What has Jon swapped out his faithful VW Transporter for? Who are SOFAA and do they have anything to do with couches? Who would pay £1,200,000 for a packet of curry sauce? These questions and more may or may not be satisfactorily answered in this episode as your antiques-addicted hosts ramble through a range of topics and play a few games along the way. Clearly Jon's tolerance of Alexander's love of puns is wearing thin, but he perks up significantly at the sight of bikini-clad maidens posing either side of a ludicrously expensive and historically questionable piece of furniture. What the heck-fire is going on? You'll have to listen and find out.

This episode is driven by listener emails, taking Alexander and Jon on a ramble through the issues of 'antiques flight' - English and French antiques leaving our shores by the shipload and ending up in America - through to the allure of handmade marbles. Along the way there's a return of the ATG Pun Down and in 'Did They Get It Wrong', Jon airs his opinion on toy dealers and collectors. Spoiler - it's not glowing!

In Episode 16, Jon and Alexander talk about corner cupboards, why furniture is always at the end of an auction (well, mostly) and why timed auctions are like Marmite. They also discuss the ongoing antics of Sexy John Rolfe, see the welcome return of 'Did They Get it Wrong' and introduce a new Antiques Trade Gazette featurette. All this and also having time to talk about yet another Titanic watch.
