When popular antique dealer Clive Attrell decides to bring some new blood into the industry, he had no idea that the five enthusiastic young ladies who were to vie for the coveted apprenticeship would give him such a hard time. The competitors undergo all manner of lessons, tests, competitions, and challenges. They need to learn about buying and selling, how to identify and value antiques, and about the cut-throat world of auctions and antique fairs. Above all, they need to do all that quicker, and better than their fellow apprentices. As they are reduced from five down to three, and then to a final two, the girls use every trick in the book - both fair and foul - to try and ensure they are the one chosen as Clive's Antiques Apprentice.
