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.

This is getting to be something of a habit. A run of regular shows and then a big gap. "Okay, we know, and we're sorry, but we really do have a good excuse this time". So apart from Alexander's explanation for the haitus, the two antique podsters get stuck into answering a question posed by a lovely listener which is . . . how does someone get a career in the antiques world? And while answering this head scratcher, Jonny gives his honest opinion about the state of the industry (no spoilers, but it isn't great) and Alexander does his best to use the word 'bankable' as many times as possible within an hour. All of this while enjoying a snifter of a single malt whisky from, of all places, Cheshire.
