0:00:02 > 0:00:05We lead such busy lives that most of us don't get a chance
0:00:05 > 0:00:07to know our neighbour.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11Well, today, in this street, all that is about to change.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13One, two...
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Because we're throwing a party, and everyone's invited.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20We want to pay tribute to a local couple, Chris and Lynn,
0:00:20 > 0:00:24who have spent years helping the elderly and disabled in their town.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27I don't think Chris and Lynn realise
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the impact they've had on people.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Despite having had their fair share of troubles,
0:00:32 > 0:00:36they've dedicated their lives to helping others.
0:00:36 > 0:00:42I am just so proud of both of them for everything they've done.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44We think it's time their kindness is recognised,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46so we are going out into the neighbourhood
0:00:46 > 0:00:48to find items we can sell.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Oh, yes, they're all right, there we go. A tight fit.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55It won't all be plain sailing.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Come on! I need to get into the house.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00We'll send some treasures to the saleroom auction,
0:01:00 > 0:01:04the rest we'll sell on bric-a-brac stalls and at our street auction.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08And we are going to use the money
0:01:08 > 0:01:11to give Chris and Lynn a surprise thank-you.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15But how will they react when they find out all of this is for them?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Today we are in Nailsea, a small market town in Somerset.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25It's home to a drop-in centre
0:01:25 > 0:01:28that's a lifeline for many people in the community.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32It provides support and advice for the disabled and elderly
0:01:32 > 0:01:35and is run by Chris and Lynn Baker.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39We told them we're making a film about communities.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Chris and Lynn met in a dance hall, married nearly 50 years ago,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and have lived in Nailsea ever since.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Their children, Jason and Sharon, grew up in the town.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52My mum and dad are a really traditional couple,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55they absolutely love spending time together.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59They're inseparable. They love going out and about, sightseeing.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02And they love each other very, very much.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Chris worked as a lorry driver,
0:02:04 > 0:02:08and in his spare time threw himself into local activities,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11like running Jason's youth football team
0:02:11 > 0:02:14and volunteering as a retained fireman.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17But when Chris was just 45, tragedy struck.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18It was a shock.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20It came out of the blue.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22One minute he's feeling quite well,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24the next minute he's had a heart attack.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27It was the start of major health problems.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31A few years later, an operation left him partially paralysed.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Life just changes,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36it completely changes when something like that happens.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Your lifestyle has got to change.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41He had to give up work, had to completely change his lifestyle,
0:02:41 > 0:02:46and it had a massive impact on him and my mum's life.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51It was probably worse for Lynn than what it was for me,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54because I was probably horrible to live with.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58She always... She was always there, you know.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03She was... It wasn't always, "Oh, poor Chris."
0:03:03 > 0:03:07It was never, "Poor Chris." It was always, "Yes, you can do this."
0:03:07 > 0:03:11And giving up wasn't an option for a man who'd once been so active.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16I think my dad found the change from being somebody
0:03:16 > 0:03:21who'd been a very hard worker, being out all day,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23he found the change of not being able to work,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25relying on other people,
0:03:25 > 0:03:26he found it really, really hard.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29But he wanted to do something.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32He didn't want to give up on life.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Chris and a friend opened a drop-in centre
0:03:34 > 0:03:38and the local MP cut the ribbon when it expanded.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42I needed something for me to say,
0:03:42 > 0:03:47"I'm a disabled person and I need to do something."
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Chris and Lynn then had to face another challenge
0:03:49 > 0:03:52with the birth of their first grandchild.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57My son is profoundly physically disabled.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58He has cerebral palsy.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01He stopped breathing when he was four days old.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05My mum and dad again have always just been there for us,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07on top of all their problems.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Jamie can't walk.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12He can't use his arms.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17He's got to be fed through his stomach.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19He can't speak.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20He can't speak at all.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23And he's...
0:04:25 > 0:04:29He's the most happiest lad I've ever seen.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34And the way he fights, I wish I could fight like him.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36He is...
0:04:36 > 0:04:38He is my best mate.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41After 13 tireless years helping the community,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Chris and Lynn are retiring.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46A perfect time to say thank you.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49As they've worked so hard for others,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52we'd love to treat them to a luxury break away.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I'm going to set us a target of £800.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Now all we have to do is raise it.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00And this is how we're going to do it.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Well, the plan is, we walk the streets of Nailsea
0:05:02 > 0:05:05knocking on as many doors as possible today,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08asking all of Chris and Lynn's friends to donate
0:05:08 > 0:05:11any unwanted or unloved items we can have
0:05:11 > 0:05:13so we can sell them in our pop-up auction,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16which is happening here in about a month's time.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Now, it's going to be a really big ask
0:05:18 > 0:05:20to get a van full of kit to sell,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22but it's going to be an even bigger challenge
0:05:22 > 0:05:26to keep this a secret from Chris and Lynn until after the auction.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Tough ask, so I have called our bargain-seeker
0:05:31 > 0:05:34and upcycling queen Irina Aggrey to help me.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Morning. - Morning, Paul, how are you?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Bang on time. Give us a hug.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44- What's the plan?- We need to fill this van full of unwanted clutter
0:05:44 > 0:05:47from all of these houses.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I tell you what, you do that side and I'll do that side.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51That's a good start, OK?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- All right, come on.- Good luck.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56But which of us will gather the most donations?
0:05:56 > 0:05:57There's only one way to find out.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Nailsea, here we come.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06'And we're off. Alison's got something for me.'
0:06:06 > 0:06:08A bit of Carlton Ware. Do you want it? Can we have it?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11It was Granny's, but I'm sure she wouldn't mind.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Oh, thank you, thank you very much.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- It's OK. Crown Devon, I think. - Brilliant.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23That's nice, that's a nice bit of earthenware, nice old cream jug.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25'The cream jugs are unglazed earthenware
0:06:25 > 0:06:27'and could date from the 1970s.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29'I reckon they could bring in £3 each,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32'but I'm more excited about the Carlton Ware dish.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34'It's decorated with the foxglove pattern,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37'which was produced between the '30s and '60s.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41'This plate alone could easily make us £5 for the cause.'
0:06:41 > 0:06:44There we are, three items for our bric-a-brac stall.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Good start.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Irina has had no luck at the front doors so far,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51but someone's flagged her down.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Oh, hello.- Hello.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54My name is Marlene.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- I've made these. - Amazing, this community.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Wonderful.- I am sure you'll get something for them.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Yes, they're great colours. They are very in at the moment.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Handmade jewellery is popular right now,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07as everyone wants something unique.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Marlene's beaded bracelets are right on trend
0:07:10 > 0:07:12and I hope someone will pay £5 each.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14And she knows Chris and Lynn.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Oh, they're lovely people, yes.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Very caring people.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Yes, they really are.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Next up, it's neighbour Ivor.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26We need stuff for our pop-up auction or bric-a-brac stall.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Anything you can give us?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I'm in the process of digging some stuff out now.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35Brilliant. We will be going back to see Ivor in about an hour.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Oh, hello.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37DOG BARKS
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Sally and her dog know Chris and Lynn from the drop-in centre.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I've been in there for advice.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46It's made it easier to fill in forms and...
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Very complicated, aren't they?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50You know, just that sort of thing.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52That's why we are here today,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54to see whether anybody's put anything aside
0:07:54 > 0:07:58for a donation for the pop-up street auction next month.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Yes, I know about that.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02And I've just had a massive clear-out.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I haven't got anything, I'm sorry.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Don't lose heart, Irina.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07This house looks promising.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09A little Wedgwood pot here.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14- Right.- And the other is brand-new. It was bought for a cat
0:08:14 > 0:08:18and the cat never used it, so it is brand-new.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Just amazed. Maybe he was just a lazy cat. Thank you.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24This would be perfect for a cat that's not allowed outside
0:08:24 > 0:08:26to keep those claws off the furniture.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30New, these cat gyms retail at over £30.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- We've got a couple of bicycles in the shed.- Oh, fantastic!
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Really old, though, and a bit cobwebby.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Brilliant!- Really?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Yeah.- They do need a lot of work doing to them.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Yeah. I don't mind.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47'Raleigh dates back to 1885.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50'It's one of the world's oldest bike manufacturers.'
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Do you know what? They're lightweight,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54they're not clumsy, heavy mountain bikes.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55They're good road bikes.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57You've sold it already.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00'I'd love to find a classic 1970s Raleigh Chopper.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02'They can fetch around £1,000.'
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I think that's great - someone that works in Nailsea
0:09:05 > 0:09:08or the surrounding area, can't afford a car,
0:09:08 > 0:09:10maybe a student, got a second-hand bike.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14That's great. Ten gears.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17That's brilliant. Absolutely thrilled to bits.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Thank you so much.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22'Keith and Val's bike should make us £20-£30.'
0:09:22 > 0:09:26These are lovely, these are lightweight racing road bikes.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Ten gears, as well. I haven't seen stuff like this for a long time.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Hello!
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Oh... There's... Hi.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Where can I catch you?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40There's an old antique table which will fetch a bit.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Gorgeous.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Because I absolutely love the colour of the wood.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Len's walnut table is known as a tilt top as it folds up
0:09:50 > 0:09:54so it can stand against the wall when not in use.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55This one has a lovely tripod base
0:09:55 > 0:10:00and I think it should go straight into our saleroom auction.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Is there anything else you could possibly donate...
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Well, you're not having this. - ..please? No, no, it's fine.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- We make walking sticks, you see. - Oh, you make walking sticks?- Yes.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10In fact, Len's an amateur craftsman,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13making these walking sticks from hazel -
0:10:13 > 0:10:15a light but very strong wood perfect for the job.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21And he's kindly giving us two of them.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Oh, you can't hide!
0:10:23 > 0:10:24No.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- Did you get a flyer?- Yeah.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Can you help us out? Do you know what it's about?- Yes.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Matching pair of lamps with some shades, that's great,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35we'll take those.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I'll pick those up, you pick up all the bits and bobs.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Lovely.- That's good for our bric-a-brac stall.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Brilliant, Kate. Brilliant.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Now...
0:10:43 > 0:10:46now that you've given me something, I can tell you
0:10:46 > 0:10:47- what this is all about, OK?- Yes.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Have you heard of the Nailsea Disability Initiative
0:10:50 > 0:10:51- run by Chris and Lynn Baker? - Yes, yes.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53They're my auntie and uncle.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54- No, I don't believe it.- Yes.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Really?- Yes.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58How do you think they'll react on the day?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I think they'll be very surprised and hopefully they will love what
0:11:01 > 0:11:04we're doing for them, so, yeah, I'm hoping they'll be really,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- really pleased. - Yeah, let's hope they turn up.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Yeah, hopefully!
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Morning. Good morning.- Morning.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15'Kate's told me that her mum, Judy, Lynn's sister,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17'lives across the road.'
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Can we come in and have a chat? - Yes, certainly.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21'Judy's seen how Chris and Lynn came through
0:11:21 > 0:11:24'everything life threw at them.'
0:11:24 > 0:11:27They took it on the shoulder and got on with it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Stuck together, pulled together.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- They sound really, really great. - They are. Yes.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33And you know, it's onwards and upwards, isn't it?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Well, it has to be, doesn't it?
0:11:35 > 0:11:36- Yeah, exactly.- Has to be.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39He'd rather be out helping somebody else.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41What kind of people
0:11:41 > 0:11:43has Chris been helping out?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Everybody is different, everybody has a different need.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Like what?- If he couldn't do it...
0:11:48 > 0:11:50It went from people with help with drugs
0:11:50 > 0:11:53to people that didn't have a penny coming in
0:11:53 > 0:11:55and didn't know where their next penny was coming from type of thing.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58And there's so many people that were entitled to benefits
0:11:58 > 0:12:01that didn't even know they existed.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Chris and Lynn's first-hand experience
0:12:03 > 0:12:05has been invaluable to people using the centre.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10We come in and say, look, you know, "Sit down,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13"we'll discuss your problems."
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Sean, who volunteers, became disabled after landing on his head
0:12:17 > 0:12:19in a fall.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I'm a quadriplegic, so I filled out all the forms.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Some will struggle on.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27They're perfectly entitled to benefits, they just need help.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29The centre also supports carers.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Who's there for the people that are doing the caring?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37And that is a good question because sometimes you think,
0:12:37 > 0:12:38"Oh, who's there for me?"
0:12:38 > 0:12:42You can tell people where they can go to get support.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Now, Chris and Lynn are leaving to enjoy a much-deserved retirement,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49spending more time in the garden with their family.
0:12:49 > 0:12:55I am just so proud of both of them for everything they've done.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I'm proud of my dad for coming up with the idea,
0:12:58 > 0:13:02seeing it through, proud of my mum for standing by him
0:13:02 > 0:13:06and supporting him all the way through with it, which she has done.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I'm going to meet Chris and Lynn at home to see if they'll
0:13:09 > 0:13:11donate some items themselves,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14hopefully without being rumbled.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15I'm going in there for a good old rummage,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18hopefully get them to donate stuff for their own cause.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21That's the bit I like, but we've got to find out about them.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23So wish me luck, OK? Wish me luck.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Did you get a flyer through your door?- Yes, we did.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31About a big street party and a pop-up auction
0:13:31 > 0:13:33that's happening next month?
0:13:33 > 0:13:34What are your names? What's your name?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Linda.- Linda, pleased to meet you.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37- And what's your name?- Chris.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Chris, pleased to meet you as well.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- This is a...- A cellar!
0:13:41 > 0:13:44This is going to be my first cellar today.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I love that.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Absolutely love that.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Lovely old wooden chest.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Number two. I wonder who WEG is?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56'He may well have been a carpenter who made his chest
0:13:56 > 0:13:59'to keep his tools in, whoever he was.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01'This one is a one-off and it would look great
0:14:01 > 0:14:03'in a country-style house.'
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Oh, wow. Oh, daylight.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- I like that, WEG, that was obviously the owner.- Yes, yes.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14And the date.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15It's not WG Grace, is it?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17THEY LAUGH
0:14:17 > 0:14:22Not quite. It's got a lovely, lovely original coat of paint on it,
0:14:22 > 0:14:23which I love.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Well, look, this is going to come in handy.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I think we can send that off to auction and hopefully get,
0:14:30 > 0:14:35I don't know, £20 or £40 for it, but it's going to help.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37What's your passion? What do you like doing?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I see you like a bit of gardening.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Yes, he does potter in the garden, don't you?
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Yeah, I do like to garden.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Obviously I can't do as much as what I would like to do.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Why? What's happened to you?
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- Have you lost...? - Lost the use of his right side, yes.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55What happened?
0:14:55 > 0:14:56- I had a...- Artery.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00..artery pressing on me, and my vein.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02So I don't know, eight or nine...
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Eight- or nine-hour operation.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09And it left me with...
0:15:09 > 0:15:15with the right side of my body, doesn't work.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- You're a real star, mate. - Thank you.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20He's always done community things, ever since he moved here.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Thank you. Thank you.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Cheerio.- Cheerio.- Bye-bye. - Bye, thank you.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Enjoy the rest of the day.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29'I think we got away with it.'
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Have to keep quiet because they're still in the garden.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Not only did we get a lovely chest to send off to auction
0:15:35 > 0:15:39but I got to find out all about Chris and Lynn,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42and to see the extent of his injuries
0:15:42 > 0:15:45and find out how hard he works
0:15:45 > 0:15:48and what he does for other people.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Boy, what a lovely guy, what a lovely guy.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Meanwhile, Irina is going up in the world.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Tight fit.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Angela's got a treasure trove of clothes in the attic.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05I have a skirt that I've never wore.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Really?- Still got the tag on it.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Hi! 'Remember Sally who was walking her dog when Irina bumped into her?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15'Turns out she has found things for us after all.'
0:16:15 > 0:16:16A little tea caddy, isn't it?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Yes, I know, but they're Sri Lankan.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Yeah, that's where all the tea comes from.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25'Antique tea caddies usually lock to protect the vulnerable tea.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27'While an old one made of mahogany could cost hundreds,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30'this one should make us a few pounds.'
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Two lovely little caddies,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34one would be for green tea and one would be for black tea, I guess,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37or you could mix the blends up. But it is a touristy thing, you know.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- A really old bike. - Nice colour.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Oh, it's not that old.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43You're making it out as if it's something...
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Yeah, probably needs a new tyre.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- New tyre.- That's fine.- Refurbishing.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50A new kid's bike could cost £100 or more.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I bet someone will pay 20 for this one, surely.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Hello, Oliver, it's Paul again.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Hello, dogs.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57There's a mirror there.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Lovely mirror there.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Oh, brilliant.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Brilliant! Oh, I love that.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- I love this because, I tell you what, we can repaint those...- Yeah.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- ..we can upcycle those. - Well, that's what I thought.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Irina will love that. We'll take the pot.- Yes.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Hello!
0:17:12 > 0:17:14And the dogs don't bother you?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16No, they're best buddies. They play.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Oh, the dogs look after you.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Yeah.- Thank you very much.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21You are very welcome, good luck.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23See you at the party, hopefully. Bring your wife along.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- Yeah, thanks very much.- And you can watch your stuff being sold off!
0:17:27 > 0:17:28And then go, "Oh, no!"
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I've got this chair for a start.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Oh, my word.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34That's lovely.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Thank you.- It's old, but it's my husband's grandfather's.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Hello. What's the story behind this chair?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42It's my grandfather's.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44It was one of 12 dining chairs and that was all that was left,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47so we thought we'd have it, but we don't want it now.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50It's a lovely chair. I think Irina has hit the jackpot here.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51And that's not all.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Ian and Jill have dug out even more treasures.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59These Victorian-style candleholders
0:17:59 > 0:18:00are made of pressed glass.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Pressed glass is moulded, not blown,
0:18:02 > 0:18:06and was first used in the 1820s to make door knocks.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11And in the summer house, would you believe it? More treasure for us.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12An old camera.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Oh, my word.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16So who owned this, then?
0:18:16 > 0:18:17- My cousin's.- She's 92.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21This is a twin lens camera and they're quite collectable.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25A basic one like this is worth around £20,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28but if you found a rare model made by Rolleiflex,
0:18:28 > 0:18:29it could make £1,000.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Are you going down there in a minute?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Yeah, I'm going down there, that's our van.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Now, what's your name?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- William.- My name's Paul. Did you get a flyer through your door?
0:18:41 > 0:18:42- I did, yes.- Can you help us out?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Yes.- He lives in there, I'll be seeing you in a minute.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48You carry on with that and I'll see you in a minute.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50That's very good of you.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Hello.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- Hello.- Hello.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55I got a nice kiss there.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57We're going upstairs. Come on, then.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- And here...- What is in there?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05It's a glass...
0:19:06 > 0:19:08..TV corner unit.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Brilliant. All we've got to do is get it down the stairs.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Well, that's easy enough. - That's easy enough, isn't it?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Let me test the stairs out.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Have a look at this.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Oh, yeah, they're all right. Here we go!
0:19:19 > 0:19:20THEY LAUGH
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Right.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31You don't mind old dogs, do you?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- I love old dogs.- I know you do.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- And mine is old. - Oh, I've had old dogs.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Oh, don't get up, the legs are gone.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Yeah.- Oh, don't get up, stay down, stay down, stay down, stay down.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Good girl, stay down, stay down.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Oh, hips have gone.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48My German shepherd's back legs went like this.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- Yeah.- She's 13.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- Not too bad, but... - He's 13.- Yes, 13 she was.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- He still goes out for a walk. - Oh, I know, I know.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Just looks painful.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Oh, crikey, what, all of this?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01'Now, I've hit the jackpot at Brian's.'
0:20:01 > 0:20:03This is lovely, it's Picquot Ware.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05You can see it's all machine turned.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06And it's all quality.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09When you flip the lid, you feel that.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11That's good British engineering.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13It's great manufacturing.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17But it's so typical, it's so evocative of the '30s to '50s.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20It's a nice thing, it's a really nice thing. But it's got the look.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23With the tray as well, I think that's really nice, that's good,
0:20:23 > 0:20:28contemporary 20th-century British modern at its very best.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I love it. I think we could stick that into the auction
0:20:30 > 0:20:34with a value of around £60-£80 and hopefully get that.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. - A lot of stamps.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I don't know if... These boxes...
0:20:40 > 0:20:42There's stamps and there's...
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- ..coins in here.- Oh, brilliant.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Good for you.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49'Brian is donating his collection of stamps,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52'first-day covers and medallions.'
0:20:52 > 0:20:58I think we put all of this here, all of this collection, all of that,
0:20:58 > 0:21:02that and that into the auction as one lot,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04and we'll let the auctioneer sort that out, OK?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Because there are collectors out there
0:21:06 > 0:21:08that will search online for those.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Thank you so much.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13You've been so helpful.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15And bye-bye, you, as well.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16You are gorgeous.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20'But just when I thought it couldn't get any better,
0:21:20 > 0:21:21'there's one last surprise.'
0:21:23 > 0:21:27"I have some toys, etc on the grass if they are of any use to you.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28"Thank you."
0:21:30 > 0:21:32That looks like toys.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Kids' toys, kids' games in really, really good condition.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I see 50p, £1, £2, that's fantastic.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Two bikes. A little doll's buggy.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Let's pick up some of these and put them in the car.
0:21:47 > 0:21:53"Lots of love, Paul Martin."
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Two kisses.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I will put that through their door, let them know that we've got it,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01it's all safe and it's going up for sale.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04There. Brilliant.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09It's time to have a look at everything Irina and I have found
0:22:09 > 0:22:12and work out what we can send to a saleroom auction.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Someone is already sniffing around our treasure.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19First, I've got an upcycling project for Irina.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Now, look at this, something for you.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24That's bevelled glass, so it's a quality mirror.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- It's a good size for a hall or bedroom.- I know, I know.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I could do something really funky with that.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- I like this. The amount of cats we've seen today...- I know.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Brand-new, practically. - Tilt top table.- Fantastic, isn't it?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Has it got its tilt top? - Yes, it has.- Yes, it has, hasn't it?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- The mechanisms... Let's put that into the saleroom.- Yeah.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Yeah, tell me about this.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Well, they're just sort of commemorative coins
0:22:46 > 0:22:49collected in the '70s, stamps from the last 50 years,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- first-day issues, all that kind of thing.- Nice.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Royal memorabilia.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Yeah, I think we might have missed something, actually.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Look what I picked up.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58This, apparently, is over 100 years old.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Yeah, that's an Edwardian copy of the Queen Anne chair. That's nice.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04'Queen Anne-style furniture has a curvy look,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08'often with these lovely S-shaped cabriole legs.'
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Shall we put that into the saleroom?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- I think so.- Yes, let's put that into the saleroom as well.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Let's see what it does. Let's see what we get for that.- OK.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16And these are our walking sticks.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18You can let me sell one and we'll put one into the saleroom.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Why not, and compare the prices?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22OK, go on, then, which one are you going to sell in the saleroom?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Oh, I don't know, you pick. I'm partial to both of them.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I will take this one.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29'So, we're upcycling the mirror and sending several items
0:23:29 > 0:23:33'to the saleroom, including Chris and Lynn's trunk,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36'the table, the walking stick and the tea set.'
0:23:37 > 0:23:39'Everything else will go to the pop-up auction
0:23:39 > 0:23:41'and the bric-a-brac stalls.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43'I think we've both done brilliantly,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46'but what we need to know is, who's come out on top?'
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Paul, put it there.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49You are the winner for today.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Well done.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55It's the day of our street auction.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58We've only got a few hours to get this place ready.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03We've got to unload our rummaged finds...
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Forgot the pushchair!
0:24:04 > 0:24:09..set up our stalls and transform the street into a street party.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Everyone is pitching in to help.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Well, nearly everyone.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Hi. Are you coming to our street party later?
0:24:19 > 0:24:20I'm going to try to.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Chris and Lynn's family, friends and neighbours have turned out in force
0:24:24 > 0:24:26to help us reach our target.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Good morning, volunteers. ALL:- Morning.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Well, I've got a good feeling about today,
0:24:31 > 0:24:32but most of you know who this is for.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35We are going to keep our voices down because Chris and Lynn will be here
0:24:35 > 0:24:37throughout the day helping out.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40OK? So, we need to keep them here,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43we need to keep them entertained but also keep them in the dark.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45No-one must tell them.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Right, good luck.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Good luck, so it's OK, man your stations and get unpacking
0:24:50 > 0:24:52all that bric-a-brac and all the craft.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55This is really turning into a family affair,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57as Lynn's other sister, Daphne, has arrived
0:24:57 > 0:25:01with a last-minute donation.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04King Charles spaniels. There's a pair, Staffordshire Flatbacks.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Classic Victoriana.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Are you sure we can sell these?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Yes, I'm positive. - You're giving them to us?
0:25:09 > 0:25:10- Yes.- Oh, thank you so much.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13This was pottery for the masses.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16And it's called a flatback because these two dogs were meant to go
0:25:16 > 0:25:19on the mantelpiece with their backs against the wall,
0:25:19 > 0:25:20because if I turn them around...
0:25:21 > 0:25:23..they're not finished or decorated,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26so always known as Staffordshire Flatbacks.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28These are hollow.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30In order for them to stop exploding,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33you always have a little hole in the back, which lets the air out.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35And looking at the base,
0:25:35 > 0:25:39you can see there's a nice bit of wear on the foot.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44So these look to me as if they are around about 1890, 1900 -
0:25:44 > 0:25:47sort of the end of the Victorian period.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50'In a saleroom auction, they could make around £100,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52'but I'll be selling them on our pop-up rostrum,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56'so I hope one of our local dog lovers digs deep.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58'And the donations keep rolling in.'
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Look, I know it's a bit small for me, but I tell you what,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03somebody has just dropped this off...
0:26:04 > 0:26:05..and I know I can sell this.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08This will bring out the wheeler-dealer in me.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10HE LAUGHS
0:26:10 > 0:26:12It's so inspiring to see a whole community come together
0:26:12 > 0:26:15to support their own.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18And talking of inspiration, remember Ivor's black mirror?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Look how Irina has transformed it.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I remember that.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- Did it have just a solid... - It was. That's it.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26..dark black frame?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Yes, it was quite depressing.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29It wasn't natural wood,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32so I couldn't bring out the natural grains by sanding it.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36So I thought the best coverage would be to stick some wallpaper on it,
0:26:36 > 0:26:38which is a decoupage technique.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Yes, it's quite fun, but time-consuming.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- You just go mad. - I think that's really cool.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45And I love the fact it's a cube,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- and I think that makes it funky. - Yeah.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50It's got a transition between a schoolboy's bedroom
0:26:50 > 0:26:52and a funky office.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- And I tell you what, I'm going to feel great selling that.- Thank you.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59And hopefully we'll find a good home for it and a great price.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Time for a progress check on the stalls.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02It's looking great, Sue.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Brilliant, Terry, you've done a good job. Someone has pinched a carrot.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Hang on, I've found it.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Oh, you see, it's a good job I'm here looking at things, isn't it?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12He's getting it sorted.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14So you're pretty OK with prices, are you?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- You know what you're doing? It's all stickered up?- Yes.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19I've spotted something on the bric-a-brac stall
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I think should really be in the pop-up auction.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26I love dogs, and he's got a really sad face
0:27:26 > 0:27:28which says, "Come on, come and buy me,
0:27:28 > 0:27:32"give me some love." Condition is absolutely brilliant.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35I love this treacle glaze, absolutely love it.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38'Treacleware is a name for any earthenware
0:27:38 > 0:27:40'covered in a shiny brown glaze.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44'It's made into everything from tourist souvenirs to tea sets.'
0:27:45 > 0:27:48In fact, you could keep doggy treats in there.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Yeah, it's a doggy treat jar.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53It's got £3 on it from the bric-a-brac.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54I reckon...
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I reckon I could get £9 for that.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Local dance troupe Jazz On Tap have arrived to entertain the crowd,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05and even Chris's old mates from the fire station are here.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09It's been a race against time but now we're ready to throw a party.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12I tell you what, I was worried two hours ago.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I really was genuinely worried.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- Now you're smiling.- Now I'm smiling, now I'm feeling confident.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Look at this. The fire brigade have turned up,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20we've got our dancers here.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- Look at the stalls.- I know. - I mean, just look at this.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23They are packed.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26We're about to cut the ribbons, so we'll make our way over there.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Everyone is getting in place.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29I'm feeling good. Are you feeling good about this?
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Yeah, I'm very excited.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- We can do this, can't we? - Yeah, definitely.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Let's see if we can smash more than £800.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Word has obviously spread.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40We've got a great crowd gathered and grandson Jamie
0:28:40 > 0:28:42wouldn't have missed this big day.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49- ALL:- Five, four, three, two, one.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Let's go. CHEERING
0:29:08 > 0:29:09How fabulous is that?
0:29:09 > 0:29:10This is the community coming together.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12This is what it's all about -
0:29:12 > 0:29:14people having fun in their own neighbourhood.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17It's just brilliant.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19We've got some great stuff on these stalls.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Let's start selling.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23I think you should buy it now.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- Good storage for wool. - For wool, perfect.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Yarn, knitting needles.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30£2? Yes.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33£2. Thank you very much.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38'This community has shown amazing generously to help us throw a party,
0:29:38 > 0:29:42'but turns out Ivor has donated his wife's favourite vase by mistake.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44'Luckily, they've found it.'
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- And now you've bought that back. - Yeah.- Oh, I'm really sorry.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49- But it's all for a good cause. - Yeah, we bought it back.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51And it's lovely to meet you.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- And now we put a face to the whole picture.- Exactly.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- Thank you very much. - Enjoy the day, won't you?- We will.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Thanks very much.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59'Chris and Lynn are here, thank goodness.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01'Time for me to go into acting mode again.'
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Hello.
0:30:04 > 0:30:05I remember now.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Did we go into an outside cellar?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Yes, we were in the cellar. Yes. - You got stuck.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13I got stuck.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18'I think our secret is safe.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20'But while everyone is enjoying the entertainment,
0:30:20 > 0:30:25'I'm going to check in with Sharon and her family.'
0:30:25 > 0:30:26Thank you!
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- How are you all feeling? - Nervous and excited.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Same here.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Same here. Do you think we'll have tears from Dad at the end?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Absolutely. I guarantee there will be.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43She will look at you, won't she? And she will go,
0:30:43 > 0:30:45"Yeah, I knew it."
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Do you know that? She will, won't she?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Yeah.- Yeah, Mum will probably be calm...
0:30:51 > 0:30:53..pleased. Dad will be very emotional.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57He knows his grandad well.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59I know he does. Yes, yes.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Well, I'll see you a little bit later on after the auction, OK?
0:31:02 > 0:31:05But I've got work to do, more money to find.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06Take care.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11That's two for £1, wow!
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Thank you. Thank you very much.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16- How much for this? - Oh, I would say £1.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- Thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21The refreshment stalls are doing a roaring trade.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Purse is out, purse is out. You going to buy anything else?
0:31:24 > 0:31:26I think we'll have a go on some of the stalls.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Now, that's smelling really good.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31'Welcome to the Great British Crepe Off.'
0:31:35 > 0:31:38LAUGHTER Turn it over.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39I think we'll be giving that one away.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42'Trust me, it tastes better than it looks.'
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Well, Chris was an ex-fireman
0:31:51 > 0:31:54so it's wonderful that the Nailsea Fire Brigade have turned up.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Hi, guys.- Hi, all right? - Oh, look at that.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- You've been busy.- We've been taking donations to have a go on the hose.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Well, so far, Chris hasn't twigged, so that's good.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- Do you know him? - I don't personally know Chris,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07but he retired before I joined. But there's loads down our station
0:32:07 > 0:32:09who knew him say what a great bloke he was.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Meanwhile, bric-a-brac is flying off the stalls.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16But don't forget, we sent a few items off to a saleroom auction.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Our auctioneer is Marc Burridge.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20Yours, sir.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24And some of Lynn's family have come along to watch the sale.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26First up, it's Chris and Lynn's old chest,
0:32:26 > 0:32:30which they didn't realise they were donating to their own cause.
0:32:30 > 0:32:36We have this Victorian painted pine carpenter's tool chest there.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38What can we say to start me?
0:32:38 > 0:32:4140 I have, thank you. And five. At the back.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43And 50. Now five.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Go on. 55.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47At £55, the back of the room.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Selling on 55, then.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53And there's a good result for the tilt top table.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Selling at £30, then.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58I've got high hopes for Len's walking stick.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Its estimate is £20-£30.
0:33:01 > 0:33:0330 in the corner. Thank you.
0:33:03 > 0:33:0532. 32.
0:33:05 > 0:33:0732, 35.
0:33:07 > 0:33:0935, 38. Look at me, sir, not her.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- THEY LAUGH - I know she's prettier.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15And 40. 45. 45.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Thank you. Eight. And 50.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Nice round figure. £50, then.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Now, five. And 60.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25And five. £60 the lady has bid in the corner.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Selling at £60, then.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Thank you, madam.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Double its top estimate.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32We also sold the cameras...
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Selling at £30, then.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35..the Queen Anne-style chair...
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Selling on the 20.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39..and the stamps and medallions.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Near the door there at 50.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Finally, it's my favourite find of the rummage day -
0:33:45 > 0:33:47the Picquot Ware tea set.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48£55 in the room.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50In front of me. 60 bid.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52And five. And 70.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54At £70, then.
0:33:54 > 0:34:00Altogether, our lots raised £375 in the saleroom, which is amazing.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Back on the street, it's nearly my turn on the rostrum,
0:34:05 > 0:34:08so it's time for one final push.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11There's ten more minutes before the auction starts,
0:34:11 > 0:34:15so everything that is for sale on all of the stalls
0:34:15 > 0:34:18is now for sale for £1.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Do you want to buy it for £1?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Do you know what? I think I might be tempted.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29I had one of these as a little girl.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- It's exactly the same.- Is it?
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- It's not mine, is it? - THEY LAUGH
0:34:34 > 0:34:35We're finished on our stall.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Everything has gone.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40And another bike gone.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43But are we on target to make £800?
0:34:43 > 0:34:48We've counted up the cash on the stalls and we've made over £500.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Added to the money from the saleroom,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53that means we've reached the magic target already.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55So I've given myself a new goal.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Anything more I can raise on the rostrum will go straight
0:34:58 > 0:35:02to the drop-in centre, so close to Chris and Lynn's heart.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04First up, Len's walking stick.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Who's going to start me off with a bid of £15?
0:35:08 > 0:35:09Thank you. 20 anywhere?
0:35:09 > 0:35:11I have a maiden bid of 15.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13I'm looking for £20 now.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14Surely £20.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16£16?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18OK. I'm selling at £15.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20It's going once, twice, fair warning.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Sold, £15.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29'Next, let's find Daphne's flatbacks a new home.'
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Who's going to start me off with a bid of £25?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Thank you, straight in, 25.
0:35:33 > 0:35:3530 anywhere? £30.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36£30 anywhere? Surely.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Thank you at the back there.
0:35:38 > 0:35:3930. You are now in.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41It's against you, madam, down on the front row.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Can I take 35?
0:35:43 > 0:35:44Thank you, yes, yes.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Now I've got your attention. 35.
0:35:47 > 0:35:4840 at the back.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Yes, thank you. £40. 45.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53It's against you, sir. 15, no, you are nodding.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55£45. I have a bid of 45.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57And I'm selling at £45.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00It's going once, twice, sold, thank you.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03'Now the biscuit barrel I took from the bric-a-brac stall.'
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Doggy will love it.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07So, who's going to give me a bid of £5?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Come on, animal lovers. Thank you, £5, straight in.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11£6 anywhere else?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13£6. Thank you. Six, it's against you, madam.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16I've got six here. I'm looking for £7 now.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Thank you, £7 is with me.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19£7, I have a bid of seven.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Can I take eight anywhere?
0:36:21 > 0:36:22I'm selling at £7.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24It's going once... Oh, yes, there's a bid of £8.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25Thank you very much.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Shout out if I can't see you.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28I've got a bid of £8.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31It's now against you. Nine, £9, it's against you.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Can I take ten? Ten, thank you, £10.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36You are out. OK, I'm selling at £11.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Oh, thank you, £12.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Yes, waving his hand up in the air.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41Can I take 15?
