0:00:02 > 0:00:04Now many of us live on estates like this one,
0:00:04 > 0:00:06all over the United Kingdom,
0:00:06 > 0:00:08sharing the streets with people we barely know.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Well, today, for this street, all of that is going to change.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16And it's all because a Cornish town wants to honour one unique woman.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20A strong independent woman
0:00:20 > 0:00:25who is coming to terms with her situation by helping others.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27You can't get more magnificent than that.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Despite being profoundly deaf and with a crippling spine condition,
0:00:31 > 0:00:34with the help of a faithful hearing and assistance dog...
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Socks!
0:00:35 > 0:00:39It makes a huge difference whether you've got your dog by your side
0:00:39 > 0:00:41or not.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Push!
0:00:42 > 0:00:45..she's dedicated her life to helping others.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Considering the obstacle she has to overcome,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51she's incredibly positive and she's an inspiration.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55'So we want to thank her by holding a street auction...'
0:00:55 > 0:00:56It's going once, twice...
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Sold, thank you.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00'..with items donated from her neighbours.'
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Let's get it loaded up.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04I can see it's been up there 20 years.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06You can see the string line.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07'But it's not going to be easy.'
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Don't know how to get in. - Try the other one.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Oh, this one's just peed up against the dog!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15'And will they be able to part with their treasures?'
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Oh, my word, what's this?
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- Scheurich.- Yeah. - West German, 1970s.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24'And how will our local hero react when she discovers
0:01:24 > 0:01:26'this is all for her?'
0:01:26 > 0:01:28You really are a champion.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Redruth is a small town in Cornwall that was once the centre
0:01:38 > 0:01:41of a prosperous tin and copper mining industry.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44It has a population of almost 15,000,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47but no-one works harder for that community than one resident
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and her special four-legged friend.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Former teaching assistant Tammy Thorne
0:01:54 > 0:01:57and her hearing and assistance dog, Tatum.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01We've told Tammy we're making a programme about neighbours
0:02:01 > 0:02:04and local communities,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06but little does she know it's all about her
0:02:06 > 0:02:08and the vital volunteer work she does...
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Come on, then.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11..including Hearing Dogs for the Deaf
0:02:11 > 0:02:14and now the Cornwall Air Ambulance.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Tammy and Tatum brighten our day -
0:02:16 > 0:02:18that's the best way to describe it.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23They come in and they're both such a positive force of energy.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26It just gives you a sense of self-worth
0:02:26 > 0:02:29and you can help other people.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32But life wasn't always so positive for Tammy.
0:02:33 > 0:02:3516 years ago,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38a severe ear infection left her profoundly deaf
0:02:38 > 0:02:41and feeling very much alone.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43My life changed quite a lot.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I was very withdrawn for a long time...
0:02:46 > 0:02:50and had my first hearing dog, Frankie.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53He made a big change to my life and gave me a lot of confidence.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Tammy learnt to lip-read and after Frankie retired,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00she was given another hearing dog, Boots.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06But in 2009, Tammy's life took another turn for the worse,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10when she developed a crippling spinal condition.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I'm in constant pain 24/7.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Yeah, painkillers only take off the edge of the pain.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21They just make it bearable to cope with.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Doctors did all they could to help Tammy
0:03:24 > 0:03:27but her condition progressed quicker than anyone expected,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30leaving her confined to a wheelchair.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I thought I had years...
0:03:35 > 0:03:37perhaps left of that treatment.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Erm...
0:03:46 > 0:03:50It's hard just to, you know, to sort of...
0:03:50 > 0:03:54to know that those options aren't going to be there for you any more.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I don't know how she copes as well as she does with the frustrations
0:04:01 > 0:04:04that she has to cope with on a daily basis.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Tammy needed someone new to change her life for the better.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Push. Good girl.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Well done!
0:04:11 > 0:04:14And that was Tatum, a hearing and assistance dog.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21You don't have to ask people for so much help
0:04:21 > 0:04:26because she can grab things for me and pick things up for me,
0:04:26 > 0:04:27hand over my purse,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31so it just gives you that much more freedom
0:04:31 > 0:04:35and she just knows what to do and just loves her job.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41What an incredible woman and what incredible dogs as well.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45They really are man's best friend, but they make the perfect team.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Now, we've heard that Tammy loves outdoor pursuits
0:04:47 > 0:04:51and we'd like to send her on an adventure weekend.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54It's our way of saying a huge thank you
0:04:54 > 0:04:56to Tammy for all her kindness.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01The cost is going to be £800 and this is how we're going to raise it.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Well, the plan is we're going to ask everybody here in this community,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09all of Tammy's friends, family and neighbours
0:05:09 > 0:05:12to donate any unwanted or unloved items they have,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15so we can sell them in a pop-up street auction,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18which is happening right here on this very spot
0:05:18 > 0:05:19in about four weeks' time.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21It will be absolutely brilliant.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24It's a big challenge but there's a greater task.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27We've got to keep this a secret from Tammy until after the auction.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30But I can't do this on my own
0:05:30 > 0:05:33so I've called in boot-sale bargain hunter
0:05:33 > 0:05:36and upcycling queen Irina Aggrey to help me.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Irina!- Morning!- Hello. - Hi, nice to see you, Paul.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- Oh, we've got a big task today. - Have we?
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Who are we raising money for, then?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47All of these doors, we're knocking on. She's a great lady.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- She's called Tammy. OK?- Mm-hm.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51She volunteers for so many different charities
0:05:51 > 0:05:52and she's always helping other people,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54especially the Cornwall Air Ambulance,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56so now we've got to help her.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Let's raise as much money as possible.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Well, we better get to it.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Let's hope the locals are a friendly bunch.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I'm going to hedge my bets that way.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- I'll take this way.- Mm-hm. - Don't forget she lives just there.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- All right, then.- So... - Mum's the word. Good luck.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10- Thank you.- See you later.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13And if we find anything really special,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16we'll send it to an auction house to make more money.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I'm itching to start rummaging.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Don't know how to get in.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Nobody's in. I'm going to try the other one.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28It's got a special lock on it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- DOG BARKS - Is your owner in?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Can you let them know that I'm here?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- There you go, there you go. - Hello, anyway!- Good morning.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40We're going to have a street party here.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43What we want is unwanted or unloved items.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46We've got chairs and pouffes that are quality condition.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Great. Where are they?- I'll get them for you.- OK. I'll wait here.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Thank you very much.- No problem. Thank you so much.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I couldn't work that.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56'Opening Sharon's gate might have been tricky...'
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I still can't work that out.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02'..but we're getting a warm doorstep welcome.'
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- There's those. - Oh, brand-new as well.- Yeah.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Thank you.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Author Daphne du Maurier lived in Cornwall,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11so Mary's collection of her books should sell well.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I don't use them because I don't like that type of story.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- You don't. Why?- I'm more soppy. - Are you?- Yeah!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20And she knows our heroine Tammy too.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Oh, just very nice.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I imagine she could help anybody out if she wanted to.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- That's what she does.- Yeah. - And what's her doggy like?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Oh, lovely.- Cos it's a new one. - It's a golden Labrador.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- He's handsome.- Is he?- Yeah!
0:07:30 > 0:07:31'And talking of handsome...'
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Oh, fantastic!
0:07:33 > 0:07:37'..Sharon's furniture donation is in very good nick.'
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- I believe that's it. - That's brilliant.- OK, my lovely.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Thank you.- No problem. You're very welcome.- Thank you very much.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- You want something to auction, do you?- Yes, please.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I'll see what I've got.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51And what keen gardener Des has to donate is a little prickly.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53So you're happy with me taking this one?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Yeah, go on, take that one. - Thank you very much.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Pot and all, obviously.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Look at that. Teamed with a lovely pot.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Very neutral. I like that.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08This is a Christmas cactus and it needs lots of light,
0:08:08 > 0:08:09so it's in a right area.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- What colour flowers does it produce? - Pink.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15The long-living Christmas cactus comes from the tropical forests
0:08:15 > 0:08:20of South America and blooms for the festive season.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23The original one was about 50 years old.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24- 50?- Yeah.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- So is this a cutting from it?- Yeah.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29So I think you've definitely got green fingers.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Judging from your garden, which is stunning.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35It certainly is. But we've no time to admire the Dahlias...
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Thank you very much.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39..we need to get more donations.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Josephine, great to meet you.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Yeah, I don't think there's much here that you...- Oh.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46You're all living in one room down here, aren't you?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I am, yes.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- You've got an en-suite, look.- Yeah!
0:08:50 > 0:08:52PAUL LAUGHS
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Cover that back up. I didn't expect anybody to call.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Oh, bless you, Josephine.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Right. Have you got anything we can have to sell or...?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Well, I don't know about that picture.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- What, that picture there? - Yes, that one there.- Are you sure?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I mean, I don't want to just come in here and take things off the wall.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- No, you have it.- Are you...? - It's no good to me.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13There's no sentimental reason or whatsoever.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14You're welcome to take it.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Well, it's a lovely... It's a print, isn't it?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Yes.- It's sort of a landscape. - I don't know what it is exactly.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I've had it for about 20 years.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I can see it's been up there 20 years. Look at this.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27You can see the string line.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29'We're all guilty of that one
0:09:29 > 0:09:33'but Josephine also has a nice bit of pottery to donate.'
0:09:33 > 0:09:36That's lovely, isn't it? Where did you get this one from?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38A pottery at Scorrier.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- It's Cornish, isn't it? - Yes, it is Cornish.- Yeah.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44'Cornwall became a haven for potters in the 20th century.'
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Oh, thank you for that.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49'This little Cornish jug should fetch a couple of quid.'
0:09:49 > 0:09:51There's a lady called Tammy.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- She has a wheelchair. - Oh, I know Tammy. Lives up the top.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Yeah, got a dog, a hearing dog. - That's it.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- All this is for her.- Oh, lovely. - It's a big surprise
0:09:57 > 0:09:59and we're going to send her away on a lovely activity weekend.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Oh, brilliant. - Something she can do with the dog.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Yeah, she deserves it.- She does, doesn't she?- She deserves it.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Thank you very much. - I can tell my friend
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I've had Paul Martin in my bungalow!
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Oh!- She'll be very envious. - Oh, brilliant.- She loves you.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16What a warm and giving neighbourhood this is.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17All right, Pat?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Look at that. Look, the dog's getting a lift.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21That's brilliant!
0:10:21 > 0:10:23'And everyone seems to know Tammy.'
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Tell me a bit about her, then, what's she like as a person?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- She's a very pleasant little girl. - Yeah.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31It's very sad to see her in the wheelchair like that.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34But she seems to get involved in a lot of things.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35She's as good as gold. We have a chat.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38We go out for walks and I take the dog out.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41She takes her little Labrador out with her on her wheelchair.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42So, yeah, it's lovely.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45She hasn't gave up at all. She's a really strong character...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47and dogs, I think, helps with it as well.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I think they're really good companions.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Behave!
0:10:50 > 0:10:52We all love her around here.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Tammy's neighbours are only too happy to help...
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Would you be willing to make a cake for us?
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Of course I would.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03..including Denise who is donating these two side tables.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Oh, wow. Oh, my God, they're so kitsch. Thank you.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- And there's one there as well. - A matching pair.- Yeah.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11This is so nice.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Cos usually you get the nest of tables, don't you?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16That's what you usually get but I haven't seen anything like this.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Thank you very much for those.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Absolutely chuffed, I am.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23A 1970s classic.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Nesting tables aren't a modern invention.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Renown British furniture designer Thomas Sheraton
0:11:29 > 0:11:35drew plans for a nest of tables called the quartetto in 1791.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Brilliant!
0:11:36 > 0:11:40I bet our upcycling queen has plans for these.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Great little pair. Can sell these off as one or two.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46I'm definitely going to paint them the same colour.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Wonderful storage space maybe for magazines, your remote controls
0:11:50 > 0:11:54or something like that and it's a drop-leaf with a twist.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Now, there's one couple who know Tammy better than anybody else
0:11:59 > 0:12:01and that's obviously her mum and dad, Janet and John Thorne.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05So let's go and meet them and they live right here.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Hello, is that John?- Yes. - It's Paul Martin.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Hello.- Hi, Paul.- Hello. Hi, Janet.- Hello.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13'Now, I know that Tammy is at work all day,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16'so there's no chance of her finding out about my visit.'
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Well, she's a very outgoing person.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23She's very friendly with everybody, you know.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26She enjoys all kinds of activities although she's disabled.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30She likes canoeing and sports like that, you know.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34'That activity weekend is definitely the right thank you
0:12:34 > 0:12:35'for all her volunteering.'
0:12:35 > 0:12:37How do you think she'll react to this?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I think she'll have tears in her eyes.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Take care.- Yeah, bye!
0:12:43 > 0:12:46'They must be so proud of Tammy.'
0:12:46 > 0:12:48What lovely parents.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- Oh, thank you very much. - Don't know if you want it or not.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Across the street, Denise has found some more stuff to donate,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55including some cufflinks...
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Oh, thank you. So generous.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Oh, my word. What's this? - That one there needs a battery.- OK.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02..and a last-minute grandfather clock.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- And you're happy with just donating this to us?- Yeah, of course, yeah.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Only in the cupboard doing nothing.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Grandfather or longcase clocks have been around
0:13:10 > 0:13:12since the end of the 17th century
0:13:12 > 0:13:16and were once the most accurate form of timekeeping.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18It'll go to a nice new home. Thank you.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20This modern battery-run model
0:13:20 > 0:13:23should strike a tenner on the auction day.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Oh, quite happy with the haul that I've got so far, I tell you.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Everyone's chipping in for Tammy's big day.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- Thank you!- Take care.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33But to find out more about her special dog Tatum,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I'm meeting up with Samantha
0:13:36 > 0:13:40who now looks after Tammy's retired dog, Boots.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Tell me about her new dog Tatum.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46She's much more energetic than Boots ever was.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48She's just...bouncy.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Tigger would've been a good name for her actually
0:13:51 > 0:13:52cos she's so bouncy.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55How has Tatum improved Tammy's life now?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Tatum now is a dual assistance dog.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00It's not just a hearing dog, Tatum isn't just a hearing dog.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04She helps with other things like loading the washing machine,
0:14:04 > 0:14:05opening doors.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08It gives her the confidence to go places.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12She's always got something or someone with her, if you like,
0:14:12 > 0:14:13and that is the thing with her -
0:14:13 > 0:14:16it's the determination to do as much as she can
0:14:16 > 0:14:18and to be as normal as possible.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Tatum really is Tammy's lifeline.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25She's amazing.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29She can pick anything up as small as a 5p coin.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Good girl. Push. Push!
0:14:30 > 0:14:33'She can open and close doors for me.'
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Good girl.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36She can load and unload the washing machine.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Good girl. Well done!
0:14:41 > 0:14:45She works to the alarm clock in the morning,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47the door bell, the smoke alarm.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49ALARM CLOCK BEEPS
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Keeps you safe and you have that peace of mind.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Socks.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03She can fetch my shower towel when I'm in the shower.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06But she's not very keen on showers.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09One day, she didn't fetch me my shower towel,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11she fetched me my umbrella.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15I think that's part of her that she didn't want me to get wet!
0:15:17 > 0:15:22It makes a huge difference whether you've got your dog by your side
0:15:22 > 0:15:24or not.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Good girl.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32So, for me, it's a real bonus and I wouldn't have it any other way.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34What a remarkable duo Tammy and Tatum are.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38But to get them that much-needed break,
0:15:38 > 0:15:42we need more donations and Samantha has just that.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46I've got a little pair of silver and lapis earrings.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Oh, they're nice, aren't they?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50'Lapis lazuli is a semi-precious stone
0:15:50 > 0:15:53'and was once used by Renaissance painters
0:15:53 > 0:15:55'to make the colour pigment ultramarine,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58'the most expensive paint they used.'
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Oh, how lovely. Thank you.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- And they are sterling silver, are they?- They're 95.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Yeah, look at that.- And you've got a little banded agate ring.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Oh, that's sweet as well, isn't it? - Just a little silver as well.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12'Agate is a type of quartz known for its bands of colour.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16'It's mostly found in volcanic rock and lava formations.'
0:16:16 > 0:16:18There's a certain allure to it, isn't there?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- You sort of zoom in on it and go, "Oh..."- "Isn't that beautiful?"
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Yeah, and it does vary.- Yeah.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Well, look, your jewellery, I think,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- we should put into a proper sale room...- Lovely.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30..because I think we'll get more money for it
0:16:30 > 0:16:32than on a bric-a-brac stall or the pop-up rostrum
0:16:32 > 0:16:34because people don't really appreciate the work
0:16:34 > 0:16:35- that's gone into something like that.- No.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37So we'll get it into a sale room.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Back on the street...
0:16:38 > 0:16:39He's just woken up.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42..Tammy's neighbours just keep on giving.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- You can have it.- Brilliant. Let's get it loaded up.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Thanks a lot for your stuff. - Thank you.- Take care.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50- Thank you. Bye.- Bye-bye. Bye!
0:16:50 > 0:16:53They're all entertainment books. Oh, thank you.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- That any good?- Yes! - Yeah?- Old TV stands.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00And a little bedside cabinet there.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02OK, thank you very much.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04You've got a lovely smile.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05All my own teeth too!
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Someone's got a brave sense of humour and that person is Roy.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- Oh, my God!- Hello.- How are you? - I'm all right, thank you.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Wow, look at this.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22'They love their gardening in Cornwall.'
0:17:22 > 0:17:24This is brilliant. This is brilliant because you know what?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Gardening is big.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Everyone loves to look after their garden.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32'As well as donating a strimmer and some other gardening tools...'
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Proper job, eh? - Hey, proper job.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Say that again, me handsome. - I'm a...
0:17:37 > 0:17:40THEY LAUGH
0:17:40 > 0:17:44'..Roy's also donating a lawn mower and that should be an easy tenner.'
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Thank you.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49'But he and his wife Pauline aren't finished there.'
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Oh, thank you.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- You have it there. - Oh, it's a little basset.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58'Jack Russells Bill and Ben are saying goodbye to an old friend.'
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- You've been ever so kind. Thank you. - Yeah.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Wow! Hey!
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Oh, this one's just peed up against the dog.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07'That would be Ben.'
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- Oh!- Oh, he hasn't!- Oh, he has. He's just peed all over that.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Oh, give it to me.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14- We better not take that one.- No.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I knew you were going to do that!
0:18:17 > 0:18:20'Well, given a good wash, we can still sell him on the toy stall...'
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Naughty boys! Naughty boys!
0:18:23 > 0:18:25'..for a couple of PEE!'
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Across the street...
0:18:28 > 0:18:31It's so colourful. Look at that.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33..Lauren's tattoo has caught Irina's eye.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Clothes? - I've got, like, baby clothes
0:18:35 > 0:18:39that my, like, three-month-old's just grown out of.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42It seems not-so-little baby Thoran is growing up fast.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43OK...
0:18:43 > 0:18:45These are lovely.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Is this hand-knitted? - Yeah, that is. It's by my nan.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Aw, it's lovely.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Hand-knitted baby clothes
0:18:51 > 0:18:54will surely be worth a couple of pounds each
0:18:54 > 0:18:56and Lauren's happy to donate
0:18:56 > 0:18:57because when she was younger,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Tammy was a teaching assistant at her school.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03She was, like, the person to go to if you needed anything,
0:19:03 > 0:19:04wanted to talk to.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06She was like a real trouper.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08It was, like, really good to see.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11She's, like, really inspirational.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14It seems Tammy has always been there for other people.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Thank you very much.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17But it's the Cornwall Air Ambulance
0:19:17 > 0:19:20which is especially close to her heart.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Tammy's been coming here for nearly four years now,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26giving her time and it means so much to us,
0:19:26 > 0:19:30to have her here in the office, her and Tat.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31I just love it.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34You meet such a variety of people.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39It gives you a sense of purpose and helping the community.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41You're giving something back.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I think she's certainly inspirational for those of us
0:19:44 > 0:19:46who are able-bodied.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I think we're all too quick to say, "Oh, I can't do that."
0:19:48 > 0:19:50But she doesn't say things like that.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52She gets on and does it
0:19:52 > 0:19:57and actually seeks out more than perhaps you might expect her to do.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01There's a huge wave of warmth and respect
0:20:01 > 0:20:04for a strong, independent woman,
0:20:04 > 0:20:09who is coming to terms with her situation by helping others.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12You can't get more magnificent than that.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Tammy couldn't be more deserving, could she?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17So, in one final push, I'm hitting the town centre
0:20:17 > 0:20:22to see if I can get a donation from any local shops.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Hello.- Hello there. - It's Paul from Street Auction.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Hello, Paul. Nice to meet you. - What's your name?- My name's Al.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Al. We're having this street auction here in a month's time, OK?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Is there anything you can donate?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Because I'd love to sell something of yours.- Yes, of course.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- Some 20th-century modern because it's all the rage.- Have a look.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- How about a nice floor vase? - That one?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41That one or this one, whichever you prefer.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- What do you think?- Do you know what? - I like the look of that.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- It's nice, isn't it?- Yeah, it's got a bit colour to it, hasn't it?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Yeah. We're happy to donate that. - Oh, that's a lot of money.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51- £60. Are you sure?- Yes, of course.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Tell me a bit about it, then.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Scheurich.- Yeah.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57West German, 1970s.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00'The Scheurich company became one of the largest manufacturers
0:21:00 > 0:21:05'of ceramics in Germany from the 1950s to the 1980s.'
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- It's got the texture of an orange peel.- Absolutely.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09This is where it gets the fat lava name,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- from this sort of lava glaze.- Yeah.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15'Lava glaze is an unusually thick, often flowing glaze,
0:21:15 > 0:21:19'which appeared on many German mid-century pots.'
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- Isn't that cool? You've been a star. - Thank you, Paul.- Thank you.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25This pot is definitely one for the sale room.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Although I'm not sure we'll get £60 for it
0:21:28 > 0:21:30but here's hoping.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31With our rummage complete,
0:21:31 > 0:21:35it's time to unload the van to see who's collected the most
0:21:35 > 0:21:39and to find some items to send over to the sale room.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40- That's the end of a long day. - I know.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- It's been a good day, though, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- I've met some characters. - Have you?- Oh, gosh, yes.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Now, I think you've done exceptionally well.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Well, you know, I was chopping and changing,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52going down lots of different streets, you know.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- Yeah, I'm happy...- Well done. - ..and the grandfather clock.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Yes! Not to mention old Father Time.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03'Denise's grandfather clock might be high-street modern,
0:22:03 > 0:22:07'but it's got the look and I think we could get £10 to £20
0:22:07 > 0:22:08'on the pop-up rostrum.'
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- What have you got for upcycling? - Those little tables there.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- My little pair of occasional tables. - What will you do with those?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Well, because they're damaged at the top
0:22:16 > 0:22:19and they're MDF, I can't bring out any grainage or anything like that.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I'm going to do some decoupage and then just paint the sides,
0:22:22 > 0:22:26maybe a neutral colour so it can really attract a wide market.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28And with a bit of upcycling magic,
0:22:28 > 0:22:33I can see this pair making £15 at the pop-up auction.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Great. Well...- Your side?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38I mean, I didn't get you anything to upcycle.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Nothing came along. But I've got an eclectic mix.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42You know, kids' toys, all sorts of things.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- Lots of bric-a-brac.- Yes.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48I've got three things that we can take off to the auction room.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Earrings. One ring.- OK.- I mean, not a great deal of money
0:22:51 > 0:22:56but I think each lot might be worth around £15, £10-£15.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59'And my final item to send to the auction house
0:22:59 > 0:23:00'is the German garden pot,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03'which I'm hoping to get a good price for.'
0:23:03 > 0:23:06That was a donation from a shop in the heart of Redruth,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09who, you know, is a 20th-century modern specialist.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- I was really pleased with that. - It really does scream quality.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- I can just see it right there. - Yeah, it does.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Two great line-outs, one great day,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- one great champion. - Thank you very much.- Well done.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- I couldn't do this without you. - You're welcome.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Well, what a day we've had.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27The people of Cornwall have been so generous, they really have.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I've loved being here in Redruth and do you know what?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I can't wait to come back because that line-out,
0:23:32 > 0:23:33well, that's just the start.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36A lot more will happen from now until the day of the street party
0:23:36 > 0:23:40and I can't wait to see Tammy's face at the end of the day.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Well, that day is finally upon us and there's so much to do.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Thank you.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53'There are the stalls to put up...'
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Our little cafe area looks fantastic.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57'..vans to unload...'
0:23:57 > 0:23:58How can we forget you?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01'..and, of course, the bunting.'
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Well, being in Cornwall, I thought I'd arrive in shorts, you know,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07in case there's a chance of nipping down to the beach
0:24:07 > 0:24:08first thing in the morning.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12We've got a full programme of local entertainment today,
0:24:12 > 0:24:16including dancing and a choir has arrived to sing,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19if not for their supper, for the Redruth locals.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Carole, nice to meet you. - Yes, nice to meet you too.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- Are you excited about today? - Yes, thank you.- Me too.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- And you're singing a cappella, aren't you?- Yes, we are.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28We're Champagne Cornwall Ladies Barbershop Chorus.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- Oh, yes?- Based in Par.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32How long have you been established, then?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34We've been established for 30 years.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Great, well, make sure after you've sang,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38tell the girls to go around the stalls
0:24:38 > 0:24:40and start snapping up bargains, OK?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- We need to raise as much money as possible.- OK.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I'm sure they'll hit the high notes, Irina,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48but will this latest donation?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52It's an earthenware vase, as you can see, and it's incredibly heavy.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Do you know what? I'm going to sell that on the pop-up rostrum.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59I think he's got potential.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01He could look happier about it!
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Just put it on her collar.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Tammy's arrived to volunteer with Tatum...
0:25:05 > 0:25:08You're going to get your own little ribbon!
0:25:08 > 0:25:11..and she still doesn't have a clue it's all for her.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14We've got stalls dressed with things to sell
0:25:14 > 0:25:16and I'm suited and booted too.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Now, I usually find a few things I can sell on the pop-up auction
0:25:20 > 0:25:23for a little bit more money but today, I haven't found anything.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26My only hope is...
0:25:26 > 0:25:31by the time I start the auction in three and a half hours,
0:25:31 > 0:25:33something else turns up.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Time to say hello to the team and meet Tammy for the first time.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Morning, everyone! ALL:- Morning!
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Good morning, our volunteers, and thank you so much.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45There's so many of you. We've got a lot of volunteers today.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49This is all about raising money for a very good cause in your community
0:25:49 > 0:25:52and you just might be able to help me on the rostrum if you want to.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Can you hold a gavel?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55PAUL CHUCKLES
0:25:55 > 0:25:56So, can we do it?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- ALL:- Yes! - Everybody to your stations.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04This community has come together to make this street auction a success
0:26:04 > 0:26:06and it's wonderful to see.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Open for business.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11But if we're going to hit our target of £800,
0:26:11 > 0:26:15we need the people of Redruth to show their support.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16So will they?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Well, of course they will!
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- ALL:- Three, two, one!
0:26:21 > 0:26:25It's now or never. Here we go. CHEERING
0:26:26 > 0:26:29# Shoo-ba-dooby-dooby-wa-wa
0:26:29 > 0:26:31# Shoo-dooby-dooby-wa-wa!
0:26:31 > 0:26:36# One fine day, you'll look at me... #
0:26:36 > 0:26:37And we do have a fine day.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41It seems everyone's in good spirits and in good voice too.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- # And one - One fine day... #
0:26:44 > 0:26:47But Irina's making sure everything goes for a song.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50So you're buying this? Are you buying those two?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Yeah, go on.- Can you part with £12?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- Yep, no trouble.- Yeah? - Yeah.- Fantastic. That's a deal.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59# Lollipop, lollipop Ooh, lolli-lollipop... #
0:26:59 > 0:27:01It's a medley. # Lollipop! #
0:27:01 > 0:27:04They are fantastic.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05These look gorgeous.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Have they been selling well, then, ladies?- Yes, absolutely.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Been going like hot cakes. - THEY CHEER
0:27:13 > 0:27:14'We've got a great crowd so far...'
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Good boy, good boy! Come on, good boy!
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Yes!
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Look at his ears.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23PAUL LAUGHS
0:27:23 > 0:27:25'..from the young...
0:27:26 > 0:27:27'..to the young at heart.'
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Having a good time?- Yes, we are.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Everyone seems to be spending and winning.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- 80.- 80, yes!
0:27:36 > 0:27:37You've got yourself some highlighters.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- That's for your homework.- I got 25.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Right, yeah. Well done. My God, look at this winning team.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Thank you.- How about yourself?- 45. - And another one.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- Unbelievable.- And you've got yourself a paddling pool.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- I can't believe it. Three in one. - Thank you very much.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53That's a hat-trick. Right, that's a hat-trick.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56We don't want anyone to lose out,
0:27:56 > 0:28:00including Des who donated his Christmas cactus.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02It seems he can't live without it.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03- Do you miss it?- Yes.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Is your windowsill bare now without it?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- I cry every night. - SHE LAUGHS
0:28:08 > 0:28:09There's a couple of quid.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- Is that enough?- Yes, it is.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12It'll go to a good home, I know that.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Thank you. I got it back again. I got my plant back again!
0:28:16 > 0:28:17You missed it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20And this is all for Tammy.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Her parents, Janet and John, who are in on the secret,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25have just arrived too.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27We're hidden round the corner here
0:28:27 > 0:28:29because Tammy is around the other side.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32So, how are you feeling? What's been going on?
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Great, we just came down here, quite surprised to see
0:28:36 > 0:28:40the number of people that are here and the choir and things.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41Yeah, a lot of entertainment.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Yes, we didn't know exactly what was going to be happening.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Tammy hasn't twigged a thing yet, has she?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- No.- Not so far.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51And that's how we'd like to keep it.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53She hasn't cottoned on. She is feeling really good.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56She's having a good day, erm,
0:28:56 > 0:29:01in herself, and she did say to me earlier on, she said,
0:29:01 > 0:29:03"This must be for Cornwall Air Ambulance,
0:29:03 > 0:29:04"because why else would we all be here?"
0:29:04 > 0:29:06No, no, she does not have a clue.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Not a clue.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Now, Tammy's dog, Tatum, isn't the only clever dog here today.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18That's Boots, that's Tammy's former hearing dog.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20He had to retire because obviously he got too old.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23And one dog I remember from the rummage
0:29:23 > 0:29:25has just found some new owners.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29The naughty little dog came up the garden path and did a tinkle
0:29:29 > 0:29:31on this one. He's gone through the washing machine
0:29:31 > 0:29:34and that's why he is absolutely clean.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Now, what should they call him, I wonder?
0:29:37 > 0:29:39I know - Piddle.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Thank you very much, thank you.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Across the street, Irina is collecting donations
0:29:44 > 0:29:46with the local fire brigade.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49If I pop this nice red bucket, very apt,
0:29:49 > 0:29:50next to your fire engine,
0:29:50 > 0:29:53then please make sure everyone puts a nice donation in.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Now, why would she be doing that, I wonder?
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Don't speak with your mouth full.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00How's it going?
0:30:00 > 0:30:01- HE LAUGHS - Very well.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Very well.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Time to check our takings.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06How do you think you've been doing today?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- So far.- Doing good, doing good.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Ten, 20, 30, 40...
0:30:10 > 0:30:14That's not bad. We're halfway through the day. You've done £70.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I reckon you've done 30 quid.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18That's about right, probably, yeah.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Tombola, how are we doing?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- All gone.- All sold out?
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- How much have you taken? BOTH:- £65.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Thank you.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- 130.- Put it there, Stewart.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30I want to give you a hug.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33You are going to save my bacon today!
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Great so far, but I'm a little worried about our pop-up auction.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42We've only found a few things we think will sell well,
0:30:42 > 0:30:45including this charming wooden Pinocchio puppet,
0:30:45 > 0:30:47and a 1950s oil painting,
0:30:47 > 0:30:50but we do have Irina's upcycled tables.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Remember how they used to look?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57When I got these, they were a dark colour, kind of gloomy,
0:30:57 > 0:30:59slightly damaged as well.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02I decided to paint it a nice neutral colour
0:31:02 > 0:31:06and found this wallpaper which has a bit of sparkle,
0:31:06 > 0:31:09so giving it a bit of lift. What do you think?
0:31:11 > 0:31:12I think you've done a really good job.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Little bit of sparkle, bit of glamour.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18But then that hue of neutralness as well.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20How much do you think we should sell those for on the rostrum?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23I was hoping maybe we could do two for 15.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26OK, I think 15 is a good shout. £15 for the pair.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Well done, you've done a good job with that.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32- Thank you.- You see, with a bit of TLC, bit of love, bit of sandpaper,
0:31:32 > 0:31:36a little bit of paint and some sticky-back plastic...
0:31:36 > 0:31:40you can work wonders. You can save something that is skip-bound,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42and now we're going to turn that into money, and that will help,
0:31:42 > 0:31:46that will help a lot today, because we need every single pound.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48£800, to be precise.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54So while the dancers are drawing a crowd,
0:31:54 > 0:31:56I might as well get my bucket out.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Entertainment doesn't come free.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59HE LAUGHS
0:31:59 > 0:32:00Any loose change?!
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Can I liberate that change from your purses?
0:32:09 > 0:32:10- CROWD:- Woo!
0:32:10 > 0:32:13The dancers have dazzled...
0:32:13 > 0:32:15but I need to drum up some more business.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Ladies and gentlemen, could I have your attention
0:32:18 > 0:32:21for one moment, please? Thank you so much for turning up.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25We will officially stop selling in ten minutes' time,
0:32:25 > 0:32:28so if you haven't bought something, or you already have,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31now's your chance to buy one and get six free,
0:32:31 > 0:32:34because whatever you can carry and pick up,
0:32:34 > 0:32:36whether it is one item or ten items, is £1.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39We do not want to be left with anything.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Time for some last-minute selling.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Anybody interested in this dish? £1.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Let me warm you up for the auction. £1.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Sold, Pat. I think she wants me quiet, yay!
0:32:55 > 0:32:56Everybody's happy.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Including myself.- You can come for dinner now, I suppose.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Aww, she's invited me for dinner.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02I'll be there.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04That's a pound served up on a plate.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05Go on, Mum.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09And I've just received a local last-minute donation too.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- What's your name?- Siobhan. - Siobhan what?- Purdy.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Pleased to meet you. - And you.- You've got talent.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- Oh, this is nice.- Thank you. - This is called My Dear Friend,
0:33:18 > 0:33:212015, and you've signed it.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- Is that a print?- Yeah, it's like an impressionist style.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- I can see that. Look at that. - I'm, like, a local artist.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30'Well, that will help the pop-up auction a bit,
0:33:30 > 0:33:33'which is happening in just a few minutes' time.'
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Ladies and gentlemen,
0:33:34 > 0:33:38thank you so much for turning up in your droves today.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41You have spent and spent and spent,
0:33:41 > 0:33:44and I can now tell you the stalls are officially closed!
0:33:44 > 0:33:46We have stopped selling.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Please stay with us while we count the money up.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53In the meantime, I'm going to leave you in the capable hands of
0:33:53 > 0:33:56our entertainment, courtesy of the Redruth Operatic Society.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58So thank you very much!
0:34:01 > 0:34:03# Tonight, tonight... #
0:34:03 > 0:34:06So, while the crowd is being entertained...
0:34:06 > 0:34:09and the cash from the stalls is being counted...
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Fantastic! This is what I'm talking about.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16..we can find out if the three items we sent to the sale room
0:34:16 > 0:34:18will help us out too.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Our auctioneer today is Tom Keane.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26First up is the agate and silver ring,
0:34:26 > 0:34:28donated by Tammy's friend Samantha.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31I'm hoping it will make £15.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32£10 for it.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34£5 for it. £5, five, give me six.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37At £5 so far. Six, seven, eight?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Eight. I want nine. Nine, nine...
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Ten, ten, give me 12. At £10 so far...
0:34:41 > 0:34:44At £10. Sold at ten.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48A little disappointing, but every little helps.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Next up, again donated by Samantha,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53are the silver and lapis lazuli earrings.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Lot number 54 now.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58I'm hoping they'll attract just a little bit more than the ring.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Five, bid at five, give me six.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02£5 so far, five...
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Six, seven.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Seven. Eight.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Eight's bid, nine's bid Ten now.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09Ten, ten. Come back in.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12I'll take 11. Only for £11 - and gone.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Not the £15 I wanted, but a little closer.
0:35:15 > 0:35:1855, a large West German studio baluster vase.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20I'm hoping the German garden pot,
0:35:20 > 0:35:23donated by the shop on Redruth's high street,
0:35:23 > 0:35:25will strike a good price.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28£10 for it. Vase, £10 for it.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30£5 for it. Five, bid at five.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Give me £6. £5 so far.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I'm bid £5 in the room.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35£5, going to sell at £5.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Going for £5...
0:35:37 > 0:35:41At £5. It's going to sell at £5 only.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42Now, that's a disappointing result
0:35:42 > 0:35:45I don't particularly want to sing about.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47# La-la-la, la-la, la-la... #
0:35:47 > 0:35:50There you are, £26. It's not a lot of money, is it?
0:35:50 > 0:35:54It's not a brilliant head-start, not the one I was hoping for.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58I wish we hadn't have put that West German vase into the auction.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00I believe I could have got a lot more for it here.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04People buying into it, giving more for charity.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06I think that's where our strengths lie.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08That was a mistake but we've got to get over that,
0:36:08 > 0:36:10because now we have to work extra hard.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12But it was disappointing.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15But hopefully, the stalls have been more successful,
0:36:15 > 0:36:18especially since Tammy's dad, John,
0:36:18 > 0:36:21has donated £100 from his own pocket.
0:36:22 > 0:36:27Well, today so far, with the help of this community coming together,
0:36:27 > 0:36:33we have raised £527.30.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Add that to the £26 we made in the auction room,
0:36:36 > 0:36:42that now is a grand total of £553.30.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45That is fantastic. That is absolutely fantastic.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Now I've got to work incredibly hard on the rostrum
0:36:49 > 0:36:52to get that £800 target.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56We don't have much, but what we do have, we want to sell well.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59We need you to dig deep once more for our auction.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03'We still have a crowd, including a sign language interpreter
0:37:03 > 0:37:06'for Tammy's friends from the deaf community.'
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Let's get this auction on the road.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13'First up, I'm hoping Denise's grandfather clock
