This fascinating documentary series goes behind-the-scenes with the kings of high-end pawnbroking. Just where do the rich sell their fast cars, fine wines and designer goods when they need money? When it comes to pawning luxurious items, James Constantinou's company, Prestige Pawnbrokers, is the place to go for the upper class wanting fast cash, and it's an empire on the move. Along with his quirky team of experts, James seeks to sort the fakes from the fortune making. It's a crazy world where anything luxurious and sometimes unimaginable has a possible ticket on it. Ranging from incredible jewels, to original art masterpieces and even submarines, behind every precious item there is a story to tell.
In this episode, ex-model Cathy is looking for a loan so she can launch a range of unusual women's lingerie. In the 1980s she shared the catwalk with the likes of Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. Shortly after the birth of her two children Cathy was taken ill with Cushing's syndrome, which meant she gained an abnormal amount of weight. She has now recovered, and has raided her designer bag and jewellery collection in the hope of using them as collateral for a £50,000 loan to launch her underwear business. But will she get the money she needs? Also in this episode, Prestige MD James gets some unwanted attention when he goes for a spin in a client's Ferrari, a young mum wants to pawn her grandfather's First World War medals to raise money for her mother's funeral, and an inventor turns up at Prestige to pawn his precious watch.
