0:00:02 > 0:00:04Most people would agree that a close-knit community can be
0:00:04 > 0:00:07a lifeline for families or individuals that are feeling vulnerable or lonely.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Yet we lead such busy lives today, it's hard to get to know
0:00:10 > 0:00:13your next-door neighbour, let alone help them.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Today, all that is going to change, because the whole community
0:00:16 > 0:00:18is getting together right here on this green
0:00:18 > 0:00:21for an incredible fundraising street party.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24And all the proceeds are going to a magnificent couple, who,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27despite their personal problems...
0:00:27 > 0:00:28His whole life changed.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Brendan did get severely depressed.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34I've been so low at one point, I actually had all my meds out,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37and I was going to take them all.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40They have gone above and beyond to help others.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Together, they're just a ball of energy.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44When the both of them are in the building,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47you know things are happening for the community.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51We think it's about time their kindness was rewarded,
0:00:51 > 0:00:55so we're going to raise £800 to send Brendan and Sarah
0:00:55 > 0:00:57on the honeymoon they never had.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And we're going to do it by auctioning off items
0:01:00 > 0:01:02donated by their neighbours.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Sold, yes, £47!
0:01:04 > 0:01:08But rounding up the items will have its challenges.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Maybe not.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12We're going to have to work tirelessly to reach our cash target.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14I'm going to jump on you as you walk out your car.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I think that's very generous of you.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Can we keep this a surprise for Brendan and Sarah?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- I'm terrible with secrets.- Yes, so am I.- Absolutely terrible.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25And how will this special couple react when they realise
0:01:25 > 0:01:27this has all been for them?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31LAUGHTER
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Today, I'm in Matson, a small village that lies on the slopes
0:01:38 > 0:01:40within the Gloucestershire Hills.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43It grew significantly after the Second World War,
0:01:43 > 0:01:48but despite being home to a ski centre, the suburb retains a rural
0:01:48 > 0:01:51feel, with sheep who still have grazing rights.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Matson is a tight-knit community, and today,
0:01:53 > 0:01:59everyone is coming together for one extraordinary couple.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Three... I can do this, I can do it.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05We've told Brendan and Sarah that we're here to make a programme about
0:02:05 > 0:02:07community groups.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12They married nearly ten years ago, and their big day was perfect.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16We just had it how we wanted it, an absolutely fantastic day.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20But then, six months after their dream wedding,
0:02:20 > 0:02:21their world was rocked
0:02:21 > 0:02:25when Brendan began experiencing serious health problems.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27He kept passing out.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29That then happened every day, so, obviously,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31we took him to the doctors and said,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34something don't seem to be quite right here.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Brendan was diagnosed with narcolepsy,
0:02:37 > 0:02:41a disorder that causes him to fall asleep at inappropriate times,
0:02:41 > 0:02:45whilst also robbing him of truly restorative rest.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Brendan could no longer get a job because of this life-shattering condition.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I wouldn't leave the house.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I was paranoid about people talking about me, whispering about me,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03falling asleep in the street, or a field or wherever.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Just people rushing around panicking.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08I thought, I can't deal with that. I just locked myself away.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14And Brendan's condition didn't just take a toll on him.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17It kind of felt like I'd lost my husband, because he'd gone from
0:03:17 > 0:03:21being an independent man to having to have somebody
0:03:21 > 0:03:23with him all the time.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26But Sarah stuck with Brendan.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32He's my husband and I took my wedding vows for sickness and health.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38I can honestly say, if Sarah hadn't been here for me the way she has...
0:03:46 > 0:03:49..I wouldn't be here today.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Thanks to Sarah's encouragement,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Brendan was able to leave the house after years of living as a recluse.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04And now he volunteers at two community centres in Matson.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I might not be doing anything exceptional,
0:04:08 > 0:04:13but I feel like I'm contributing a bit now to society.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15So it kind of makes you feel useful again.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19In fact, today, alongside raising their two daughters,
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Lauren and Harriet, both Brendan and Sarah work tirelessly for their community.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29The people that we've got in the centre love talking to them,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32love spending time with them, and they have helped so many.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35For which we want to give them a surprise thank you.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39When they married, money was tight,
0:04:39 > 0:04:40and they weren't able to have a honeymoon,
0:04:40 > 0:04:45so we want to put that right now and raise £800 for a romantic trip
0:04:45 > 0:04:48to mark their tenth anniversary.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Thank you.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54So, a few weeks ago, I arrived here in Matson to get the ball rolling.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59We are going to knock on as many doors as possible in Brendan and
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Sarah's neighbourhood, asking all of their friends,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05relatives and neighbours to donate any unwanted or unloved items
0:05:05 > 0:05:09they have so we can sell them in a pop-up street auction right here
0:05:09 > 0:05:10in a few weeks' time.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Now, that is a big task, but there's a greater challenge -
0:05:13 > 0:05:17keeping it a secret from them until after the auction.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I can't do this all on my own,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22so auctioneer Tim Weeks is here to lend a hand.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Tim is the king of collectables.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27He specialises in toys.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- How's it going?- Not so bad. I need your help today.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Yeah? I'm here. What's going on?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34OK, a great couple called Brendan and Sarah,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37they both throw themselves at community work and charity work.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40They're well loved around here, so now it's our turn to help them.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43OK. So, what have we got planned for them, then?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45We're going to send them on the honeymoon they never had.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- They've never had a honeymoon?- No. - Well, we've got to do it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Right, time to get to it and find out what hidden gems
0:05:51 > 0:05:52the street has in store.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- I'll take that one? I like the look of that one.- You can.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56That looks like the best house.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- It does. I'll start over here. - I'll go over here.- Good luck, Paul.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02We'll send any collectables we find that have real worth
0:06:02 > 0:06:03to an antiques sale room.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- First one of the day.- I can't even get the letterbox open!
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Hello. It's Paul Martin from the BBC.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I've got a few baby clothes. I don't know if that's...
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Yes, that's exactly...- ..any good. - That's perfect.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Can I bring the guys in?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Two people, both at home, so Tim and I are off to a flying start.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Fantastic, thank you very much.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23But which of us is going to bag the best bootie?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I don't know whether this is worth anything?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Oh, do you know what? I thought it was a print to start with,
0:06:28 > 0:06:29but it's not, it's an oil, isn't it?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- On card, yes.- Yeah. - I bought it from...
0:06:33 > 0:06:37It's new, isn't it? It's contemporary. It is.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39It's a well executed painting.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I think we can sell that on my pop-up rostrum.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I hope to get around £50 for it. A fantastic start.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50But is Tim having as much luck at Louise's house?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Oh, wow. These are great.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55In very good condition. You must have a very well behaved baby.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- A friend of mine's mother knitted it...- Really?- ..part of it.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00This is good stuff.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04These will be especially popular as they're hand-knitted and they have
0:07:04 > 0:07:06the vintage look.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- That's great stuff.- Thank you.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- That's lovely. - What's your daughter's name?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- This is Emily.- Emily. And she doesn't mind us having them?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14No, she doesn't. She's one on Friday.
0:07:14 > 0:07:20- Oh, wow.- She won't be wearing them again.- Happy birthday.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22That's quite a nice vase, isn't it?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Back at Ann's, the donations are coming thick and fast.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- That's nicely enamelled.- Coalport. - Yeah, Coalport.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Coalport china was established in the late 1700s in Shropshire.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36They were well-known for their flower-encrusted ornamental wares.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- A bit of Coalport. - Lots of children's books - Disney.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Are these the grandchildren's? - They were, yeah.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- And how many grandchildren have you got?- Ten.- What?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Ten? Have you really?- Yeah.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Ann's house has been a treasure trove.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Wow. What a generous lady.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- Thanks very much.- See you at the party.- Thank you.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Hey, Tim.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Good start?- Yeah, brilliant start.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Baby clothes. Good condition, loads of it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Well over 50 items, I reckon.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Who got the best house?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Joking aside, as Tim's baby clothes are in good condition,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16they should sell like hot cakes on the bric-a-brac stall.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21It's a great start towards our £800 target.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22I just hope my luck holds now.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24DOG BARKS
0:08:24 > 0:08:25The dog's in.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Hello.- Hello. Oh, hello, you.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Hello. I get to have fun with lovable Wendy...
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Oh, you're ever so pretty.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36..whilst Tony kindly finds me a donation.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Down. Good girl. Roll over.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Look at that. Well trained.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- That looks nice.- It's my mum's, was.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- And I'm pretty old.- Oh... Are you sure you don't want it?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- It's hand painted. - I can see that.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54- Yeah.- Whether it would work...
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Hand-painted items are usually worth more than mass produced transfer
0:08:58 > 0:08:59printed wares.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I like the fact that it's hand-painted.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Yes.- That's nice, isn't it?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- It's not a transfer print. - No.- That's a proper collectable.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- It's not chipped.- No, it's in very good condition.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Should be worth a fiver as bric-a-brac.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Tony, thank you. It's a pleasure to meet you.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- And you.- Shake my hand. - Bless you.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19This is empty, OK?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21There's no sausages, no biscuits.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23But we'll have something at the street party.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Wendy's a real cutie.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I wonder if Tim is a dog lover.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31DOG BARKS
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Maybe not.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36He might not be a fan of our four-legged friends...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40..but Tim does seem to enjoy a good door knock.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46I can't believe a knocking technique as enthusiastic as Tim's
0:09:46 > 0:09:48isn't yielding any results.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50We'll see who answers first.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54It's a draw.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Whereas, I've got off to such a great start,
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I've got time for a quick detour.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Good morning.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02And I've spotted another friendly looking pooch.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Pleased to meet you. I'm Sam.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Sam.- Claudia.- Claudia. Hi, it's Paul.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- And who's this?- This is Flossy.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Hello, Flossy. What are you doing to Flossy, just a little trim?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Yes, she has a clip and then she gets scissored.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Fantastic. Can you help us out?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Have you got anything we can sell, maybe a donation?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I was going to say, can I make a donation?
0:10:22 > 0:10:29Can I give a free haircut and a full groom, any size dog, it doesn't matter.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Any size dog? Haircut and groom?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Yes.- Fantastic. And that'll be great towards our cause.- Absolutely.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- No problem.- Thank you very much.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Bye-bye.- Bye.- Nice to have met you.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44I should be able to get around £30 on the pop-up for that doggie haircut.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47But is Tim warming to man's best friend?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49DOG BARKS
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I'm beginning to think dogs can sense something about Tim.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Well, at least Emma has dug out some items for him.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Books as well. Fantastic.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02This is nice, all in good condition.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- What's your name? - INAUDIBLE
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Are you going to come on the day and spend all of Mummy's money, then?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Yeah.- Great. Good man. Yeah.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13A decent pile of kids' toys and books.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Give me a high five. Put it there.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19They should go down a treat on the bric-a-brac stall.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Take care. OK, thank you. Bye.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I'm going to jump on you as you walk out your car, is that OK?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- And it looks as if Tim is now on a roll.- Oh, look at this.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Fantastic. Great.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Good work, Tim. We should get a couple of quid for those plant pots.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Let's see if I can do as well.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Right, what have you got for us?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39My daughter's just been sorting out her bedroom.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41This is some of her clothes, spare bags.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Fantastic.- A picture there. - That's great.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Got some vases as well, in the lounge.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Are you sure you don't want them? - No, we're changing colour.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Oh, bless you. Thank you.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Looks like I've popped in at just the right time.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Shall we go and find the bread bin?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Tim's coming up trumps at Lindsey's house, too.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59What a great idea. We'll call it a shoe bin.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Thank you so much.- That's OK. - It's going to make a big difference.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- See you on the day.- Bye.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Thankfully, Tim has a better rapport with children than dogs.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13We've already collected quite a pile of goodies for our street party,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15all for a very special couple.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I'll be learning about Sarah later,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21but now I want to get to know more about Brendan.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Hi, hello, everyone. It's Paul from the BBC.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Who's in charge? Who can I talk to?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- That would be me. - What's your name?- Sandy.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Brendan volunteers at the Matson Gateway community centre,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35where he gives help and free advice to local people.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- He's been in this morning?- Yes. - We've just missed him, then?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Yes, he's literally not long gone home.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Tell me a little bit about the type of guy he is.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- He's comical.- Is he?- He's always cracking jokes, always.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52He brightens up our morning.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54He's got one or two health issues.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Yeah, unfortunately, he's got narcolepsy.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Obviously, we are all used to it now,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01so we just help prop him up if he falls asleep, bless him.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04And then he just, like, gets up and laughs it off.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07It's just part of him, you know.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08And we love him for it.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12As well as volunteering at the Matson Gateway,
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Brendan also gives his time to the Redwell community centre,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20where his upbeat outlook is a real asset.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21I missed a spot today, look.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26He's got an amazing heart. He's always in it for what other people...
0:13:26 > 0:13:29You know, to try to help other people get what they can out of life.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31That was funny.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34He's definitely shown me that you can keep going,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36you can keep finding the positive.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Will that be all right? - He's done a lot for me.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41That's why I'm getting a bit soppy.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Brendan puts his heart and soul into his work at the Redwell.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49He set up a fishing group and runs weekly art classes where everybody's
0:13:49 > 0:13:52problems have to be left at the door.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53You're very good at this.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Brendan's art class, because it's run by Brendan, who is this big,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02jovial guy who is used to the community, it's packed every week.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05You know, kids, it's not too late for boarding school.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08They look forward to it, and they continue to come to it.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I don't know what to draw now I've sat down.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Brendan is respected and much-loved by everyone at Redwell
0:14:16 > 0:14:17and the Matson Gateway.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21That's why Sandy is donating a few things for him and Sarah.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22This looks brand-new.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- They are all brand-new. - Where did all of these come from?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Out of my cupboard. - Out of your cupboard?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Were all of these Christmas presents that you never
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- gave away to people? - Yes, basically, yeah.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Sandy, you have been so generous.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38They must mean a lot to you.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41They do. They do.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Couldn't have picked a better couple.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45As they're all boxed and brand-new,
0:14:45 > 0:14:50a couple of Sandy's toys are likely to find their way onto the pop-up.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55And we certainly need to pull out all the stops to reach our £800 target.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00But I'm worried that Tim may have become a little distracted.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Look at these sheep, walking down the street.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I've never seen anything like it in my life.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Look at this!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Off they go. It's crazy.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Come on, Tim. Back to work.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Let's have a look at this chair. - I'm always in a mess, don't worry.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- So am I.- I don't know what sort of chair it is.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- How long have you had it? - About 20 years.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- OK.- I've never used it, actually. I just put things in there.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27There's a good bit of age to it, isn't there, at least?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30It must have something. I think it's a nursing chair, originally.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I totally agree. I wonder if we might want to do a bit of
0:15:33 > 0:15:34reupholstering on it.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Cathy's chair is definitely one for upcycling.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40It's kind of early-ish 20th century chair.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Not really in fashion, these days.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Particularly not colours like this,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48but they're good quality bits of furniture, well made.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Legs are pretty decent and in good condition, at least.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54But, I think, this has to come off, reupholster it.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Then we have a nice looking chair. It's comfortable, that's for sure.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Good find, Tim.- Yes!
0:16:03 > 0:16:06My next stop is going to be a bit more challenging, though.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Right. It's time to meet Brendan and Sarah.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14They think I'm in the area on a special local community project,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16raising money and funds.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20So, now's my chance to find out a little bit more
0:16:20 > 0:16:23about this generously spirited couple.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25But they have no idea this is all about them,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27so I mustn't give the game away.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Wish me luck.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32- Hello.- Hi, it's Paul Martin, from the BBC.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- Pleased to meet you.- Hello.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36We're knocking on all the doors in the street.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- There's two teams, we've got a big van at the end of the road.- OK.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Were asking for unwanted or unloved items.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Everything's in there. - Brilliant. Brilliant.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Brendan's taking me to the garage
0:16:46 > 0:16:48so I might not get to meet Sarah right now.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- The kids don't mind, anyway? - No, no.- Are you sure?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Yeah, absolutely. - So what do you do, then?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I'm a volunteer at the Redwell centre gateway.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59That's something you do just as a hobby, then?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02No. I lost my job a while ago now.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03You got made redundant?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Kind of. I've got narcolepsy. - That's falling...
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Falling asleep at the drop of a hat sort of thing.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Become a bit of a liability, so...
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Don't know what else we got in here but...
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Will that be with you for the rest of your life?- Yeah.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18What triggers that off, then? I've never...
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I've heard of it but I've never come across anyone that's got it.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23It's frustrating.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27So many things could've triggered it off but, basically,
0:17:27 > 0:17:31it's a chemical immune imbalance, or something like that.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I can tell the difference with night and day but my brain can't,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- if that makes sense.- Yeah.- That's the easiest way to describe it.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39So, any moment, you could just go, sit down and fall asleep?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41All of a sudden, fall asleep and hit the floor, yes.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44And hit the floor. That's when it's dangerous, then.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Yes. But I might bounce!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50There's that sense of humour I've been hearing about.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53It's great that you help people, it makes you feel better.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Yes. It keeps me busy.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Brilliant. Well, I'm so pleased for you.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59You're getting up and getting on and doing things rather than
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- just sitting at home.- Before I went to Redwell, I did just sit at home.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- I wouldn't leave the house. - Was that depressing?- Yeah.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08A spade and fork, if you want that?
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Yeah. Don't you do any gardening, then?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Yeah, but I've just got, pretty much, two of everything.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- Gosh. You're busy, aren't you? - I try to be.- You need a holiday.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Yeah, don't we just.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19As if Brendan hadn't been generous enough...
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Seesaw?- Oh, brilliant.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24..he's got more items for us in his back garden.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Thank you very much. And I'll see you at the street party.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Any time, Paul. Definitely.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- I'm going to knock on the neighbours now.- Thank you.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35What a great guy. We got away with that, didn't we?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37He's so generous. Just wants to help.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40That's the sort of people we want to help.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44So, we need to collect as many items as possible to make the street party
0:18:44 > 0:18:46a success.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I hope Tim is still on the case.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50So, why are their sheep all over the streets?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- What's going on?- Well, they live at the top but they wander about
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- in the daytime.- Do they? - Yeah.- That's amazing.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Do you like seeing the sheep?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- You like sheep, don't you? - Yeah.- A bit of fun, hey?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- I chase them.- Do you chase them?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Wow!
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Tim, you're meant to be hunting collectables, not sheep.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Wow, this is brilliant.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Maybe the sheep talk was just a clever ploy to get Chas talking,
0:19:13 > 0:19:14as she's now donating quite a lot.
0:19:14 > 0:19:20Fantastic. Look at these. Some original Polly Pockets.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23This lot is right up Tim's street as toys are his speciality.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- And are you OK with us taking them? - Yes.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29We're going to raise some money for a really good cause, OK?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Thanks to you. That is very cool.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Phoebe is such a generous young lady...
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- That's it. Bung him in, Phoebe. - Well done.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39..donating her toys and Mr Panda, too.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Thank you so much.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45My favourite is definitely all the Polly Pockets.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48These are the earlier 1980s, early 1990s,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50that people don't think are worth money
0:19:50 > 0:19:51but they're so collectable now.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Vintage toys can certainly make big bucks and I'm sure these will
0:19:55 > 0:19:58raise a few pounds for our cause.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Having talked to Brendan earlier, I'm now keen to meet Sarah...
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Hi, hello!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05..and I've heard she's at the Redwell Centre,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08where she volunteers alongside Brendan.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Sarah thinks we're raising money for community groups but everybody else
0:20:13 > 0:20:16at the centre knows the truth, so mum's the word.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Hi, everyone! Hello! So, you all live locally?
0:20:19 > 0:20:24- Yes.- If you've got any unwanted or unloved items, OK...
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- Does that include me?- Not you! LAUGHTER
0:20:27 > 0:20:30No, no loved ones!
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Stuff that's in your garage, or attic.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I think you've already been to see my husband, Brendan.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Gosh, I've seen so many people today.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40You were literally there.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Ah, right. Oh, I know. We got some kids' bikes and stuff.- Yes!
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- SHE SIGHS - Yeah, that's my husband.- Has he given away all your stuff?- Yeah.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50And you do lots of things for the community as well?
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Er, little bits.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56- She does loads.- She also provides PA work for me and my wife, here.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Excellently, as well.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Ahh, brilliant.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05For the past year, Sarah has worked as Scott and Katie's personal assistant.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08For me and Kate, Sarah...
0:21:08 > 0:21:10does...everything.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15We really bond and she's really helped me to feel more confident
0:21:15 > 0:21:17and it means a great deal.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Aside from her job,
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Sarah cares for her daughters and keeps Brendan in check.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25And, incredibly, she also finds time for voluntary work.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27What have you cooked today, guys?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Pizza!- Pizza?- I don't know what we're doing next week.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Sarah is a natural caring person.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37It all boils down to a good heart and her wanting to do better,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39to support people to do better for themselves.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Sarah set up a programme called the Redwell Diner,
0:21:42 > 0:21:46which provides cooked food in the holidays to children
0:21:46 > 0:21:48who usually receive school meals.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52She wanted to be able to feed the community and she wanted
0:21:52 > 0:21:55to be able to reach out to her neighbours.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59She's really passionate about making sure that people are well fed
0:21:59 > 0:22:00and well looked after.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I don't think Sarah's realised this is about her.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Cheese!
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I reckon we've got away with it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14She's such a big-hearted lady,
0:22:14 > 0:22:19we must do everything we can to send Sarah and Brendan on a belated honeymoon.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23And it looks as if Tim has come across some interesting items.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25So, why did you collect these?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28It was just a hobby that I'd started
0:22:28 > 0:22:33- and I'm not doing it any more, so they can go to charity.- Sure.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36You've got the certificates, which is great for the collectors.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Well done. Always adds to the value.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Dolls like these were produced in limited editions,
0:22:41 > 0:22:45so the certificate shows how many were made altogether
0:22:45 > 0:22:47and proves that the doll is authentic.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Kim is kindly donating four dolls.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55Thank you so much. You might have to get the door for me. Sorry.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56- Bye, Kim.- Bye!
0:22:56 > 0:22:58You know, every collectable has its time.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Unfortunately, these have probably had theirs now.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04But, they're with the boxes, they're with the certificates,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06in great condition, so on the day
0:23:06 > 0:23:09it might just start a new collector's collection.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12I think Kim's dolls will sell well on the pop-up.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Pencil sharpeners.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15But we haven't found anything yet
0:23:15 > 0:23:18to send to our professional auction house.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21So, that's my mission before we tot up our items.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23They're quite new, though, aren't they?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- They're sort of, what, '50s, '60s, '70s?- Probably, yeah.- Yeah.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Watch.- Ooh!
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Can we have this?- Mm.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35The lady's watch Richard is donating has an open face
0:23:35 > 0:23:37and dates from around 1890.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I think we send that off to the auction room.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- OK.- Let the auctioneer decide.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I think that's very generous of you.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Gold prices are on the way up,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50so I hope it will make around £50 in the saleroom.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Thank you.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Little Whimsies figures.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57We might get £2 or £3 each for those.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01'Whimsies were first made by Wade Ceramics in the 1950s as miniature
0:24:01 > 0:24:03'collectables, made of porcelain.'
0:24:05 > 0:24:07That's quite unusual, isn't it?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10We've got that lovely old bellows camera.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14So, the little piggies are looking on in amazement, saying,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17this is home entertainment for the first time.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Pigs are a popular subject matter for collectors, you know.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Piggies make good money and so do owls.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27'This little trinket tray was made in Germany around the 1890s to be
0:24:27 > 0:24:30'exported to countries like Britain.'
0:24:30 > 0:24:33We should send that off to the auction room
0:24:33 > 0:24:36because this little piggy should go to a decent market.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40'And with a bit of luck, we should get about a tenner for it.'
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Thanks very much. You've been a big help.- Pleasure.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45'What a great way to bring our day to a close.'
0:24:45 > 0:24:47They go off to the saleroom.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50It's now time to see what's for the bric-a-brac stall,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53what can go to auction, and what can be upcycled.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Well, Tim, it's been a really positive day.- Yeah.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Lots of kids' things, that's encouraging.- That's going to sell.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03'The bric-a-brac stalls are going to be bursting and
0:25:03 > 0:25:05'should raise a good bit of cash.'
0:25:05 > 0:25:09These were would-be Christmas presents that never got given away.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11'We can also earn some serious money
0:25:11 > 0:25:13'with the items going under the hammer at auction.'
0:25:13 > 0:25:16I think the gold half-hunter, the lady's watch,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18it's not working but it's the scrap.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19It's the melt value.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23'And amongst the donated items, we've also found a silver thimble.'
0:25:23 > 0:25:26That's melt value. I mean, it's only worth three or four quid.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29But we won't get that in bric-a-brac.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32'So we'll put the thimble together with the gold watch
0:25:32 > 0:25:33'and sell it as one lot.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36'We'll also send our little piggy trinket tray off to auction
0:25:36 > 0:25:39'and, hopefully, it'll bring home the bacon.'
0:25:39 > 0:25:41So, there's two lots to go off to the saleroom.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Great. Well done. What about anything for the pop-up auction?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47These pencil sharpeners, what we don't sell in bric-a-brac,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I will lot up in groups of five
0:25:50 > 0:25:55- and we'll sell that oil on board on the rostrum.- OK.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57'We've also got a candidate for upcycling.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00'Cathy's nursing chair could be revamped.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02'We'll start by giving it a clean
0:26:02 > 0:26:05'and then remove its old-fashioned skirt.'
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Well, I think, looking at it positively,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11£300 could be there today.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Yeah. Add the face paints, the cake stalls, the raffle,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- all going to help. - Yes, it will, won't it?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Thank you, Tim. Thank you.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Yeah, we're not there yet.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23But as Tim says, come the day of the party,
0:26:23 > 0:26:27when everybody comes together to join and embrace this whole event,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30for two very special people, I know we can make it work.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36'It's the morning of the street auction.'
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Oh, perfect!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39'There's bunting to be hung.'
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Right, now a lot higher.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42'A rostrum to erect.'
0:26:42 > 0:26:44The most important bit.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46'And sheep poo to clear.'
0:26:46 > 0:26:48SHEEP BLEATS Yeah, I heard that.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50'So much to do.'
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- Morning, all.- Morning.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56'But luckily the ladies from the WI are here to lend a hand.'
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Come on. Yeah, absolutely.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Morning, everyone. Thank you, our volunteers.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04We need to hit a target of around £800.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06It's a big ask. That's why you're here.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09We couldn't do it without you. Together, we can do this.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- Can we?- Course we can!
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Yes!
0:27:14 > 0:27:16The items from the rummage day have arrived.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Gift for you.- Ah, thank you! For me? My favourite! Wow!
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I'm going to make an art wall underneath the bunting over there.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27We'll put these under the hammer on the pop-up rostrum.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30I think we might be relying on the kids' toys a bit today,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33because we've got some good, unused bric-a-brac.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Isn't that cool?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37'And a last-minute donation arrives in style.'
0:27:39 > 0:27:42How about that? You've even got a built-in stereo.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44So, what's in the trailer?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- Oh, that's nice.- It's a music box.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52'Musical boxes were first made in the late 18th century.'
0:27:52 > 0:27:55MUSIC BOX TINKLES TUNE
0:27:55 > 0:27:59# La-la-la-la-la! #
0:27:59 > 0:28:03'They were powered by clockwork and were first produced by watchmakers.'
0:28:03 > 0:28:06How many airs has it? How many tunes does it play?
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Just the one, I think.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09'Tony's is a modern one
0:28:09 > 0:28:12'but it'll raise a few quid on the bric-a-brac stall.'
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Thank you very much. - You're very welcome.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- Tim, I've got a good feeling about today.- I've got a great feeling.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- That's a well-oiled machine, isn't it?- It is, yeah.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24'So many generous people have donated their time and their belongings
0:28:24 > 0:28:28'to help us raise money for a very special couple.'
0:28:28 > 0:28:29Books, DVDs.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31That's nicely organised.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33The bric-a-brac stalls.
0:28:33 > 0:28:3650ps, £1s, that's great.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38So, what are you going to sell this for today?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- Perhaps try 15, something like that. - £15? I think that's a good place
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- to start it. See what happens. - 15, and come down if need be.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46But when someone comes to buy it, I want to see your poker face.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Try and get 20.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- All feeling good about this? ALL:- Yeah.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- All ready?- Yeah.- Great.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53About a half set.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56'Good swing, Tim.'
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Fore!
0:29:00 > 0:29:02'And another last-minute donation has come in,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04'courtesy of Alan and Joan.'
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Have you heard of Wayne Rooney?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- I have!- They're all authenticated.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12We bought them from an auction in Winchcombe.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Here's Rio Ferdinand. - And that's Rio Ferdinand.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- Again, it's the same authentic... - Yeah.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19'Great things!
0:29:19 > 0:29:22'I'll sell these signed photos on the pop-up rostrum.'
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Who's this one?- Is it Ryan Giggs?
0:29:25 > 0:29:27No, that's Ruud van Nistelrooy.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31'Hopefully, they'll go for around £15 to £20 each.'
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- Thank you for these.- OK.- Thank you.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Community-minded Brendan hasn't twigged that this street party is all for him and Sarah
0:29:38 > 0:29:41and he's turned up to help us out.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Ah, Dave!
0:29:43 > 0:29:46You're helping us out today with a bit of fun, with splat the rat.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- Yeah.- Do you do lots of other things in the community?
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Yes, we put on a lot of events for the community,
0:29:52 > 0:29:56which are always good fun and the kids seem to love it.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Do you think people will turn up to an event like this today?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01If people know about it, they'll be here.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Give me some tactics. Give me some hints. What should I be doing?
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- Hit it as soon as you see it. - All right, nice.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Right, I'll go for it.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Oh, you're tricking me!
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Oh, you nearly had me then.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- Well done. What can I say? - Put it there.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17That is fantastic.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Yes!
0:30:19 > 0:30:20Another good swing, Tim.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25But stop messing around now, as it's nearly time to cut the ribbon.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28The street party is about to start in about ten minutes, everybody!
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Who let the dogs out?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35'Time to get this party started.'
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- ALL:- Three, two, one!
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Hooray!
0:30:46 > 0:30:48'Amazing. The community has turned out in force.'
0:30:50 > 0:30:53'And everybody's appreciating the entertainment.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58'But we've got to make some money, too.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00'So Tim needs to turn on the charm.'
0:31:01 > 0:31:02Hi, guys. How are you doing?
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- Not too bad.- Having a little browse?
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- Yes, we are. - Anything caught your fancy yet?
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- The cakes!- The cakes, they're amazing, aren't they?
0:31:10 > 0:31:11They are, yeah.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15There's loads of really cool toys, in their boxes, brand-new.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18So, make sure you take this one over there to have a good look. All right?
0:31:18 > 0:31:2050p? Happy with that?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- Yeah. Well, call it two quid, then, cos I ain't got 50p.- Really?
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Oh, what a good man. Thank you so much. Brilliant.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29'Brendan's so generous.'
0:31:29 > 0:31:30- You all right?- Very well, thank you.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34'And his friends Scott and Katie have turned up to give their support, too.'
0:31:34 > 0:31:37How have you been over the last few weeks?
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- Tense.- Tense? Trying to keep this a secret?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41I'm terrible at secrets.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Yes, so am I. I am, as well.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- Because I love telling everybody everything, don't you?- Yeah.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48But it's exciting. It's...butterflies.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50How do you think Brendan's going to react?
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Hopefully, politely. In a way that can be broadcast.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- That's the honest truth!- I know.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Whilst Tim rustles up potential bidders for later...
0:32:01 > 0:32:02- What's your name?- Bradley.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Bradley, I hope this goes home with Bradley tonight.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07Come on, then, Bradley.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08..I'm keen to track down Sarah.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Hello. Thank you for coming along today.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- That's OK.- Thank you. And thank everybody at the centre, as well.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Because you did a brilliant job on the rummage day.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- OK, thank you.- Thank you.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25I think Sarah is a little camera shy, but what a lovely lady.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Come and have a look at this. You're not going to believe this.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Remember the chair that Cathy donated?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Can you believe that? That was your chair.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35Look at that!
0:32:35 > 0:32:37We've removed the chair's skirt,
0:32:37 > 0:32:41cleaned and waxed the legs and painted the seat and buttons
0:32:41 > 0:32:44in a chocolate paint, suitable for use on fabric.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Have a sit-down on that. What do you think?
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Look at that!
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- You're going to want to buy that back now, aren't you?- I might do.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- It's so cosy, isn't it? - I know!
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Not bad for a couple of pounds for the paint and a bit of elbow grease.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02I reckon that upcycled chair could get us £30 to £40
0:33:02 > 0:33:04on the pop-up later.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- Let me give him a hug. - Isn't that good? Well done.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Yeah! Look at that. What an item. Well done, you.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Absolute star.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12We're halfway through now.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14It's time to see how much we've made.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- How much money do you reckon you've taken so far?- Over £100.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20And hopefully, by the end of the day, nearly 200.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21That's not bad at all.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25I reckon there's about £20 in there from whack the rat. Right.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30- How much was that you've got so far? About £40?- Yes.- That's just brilliant!
0:33:30 > 0:33:35'It all adds up but we've still got a long way to reach our £800 target.'
0:33:35 > 0:33:36Keep on going at that rate, won't you?
0:33:36 > 0:33:40- Yes, we will.- Just keep on going. We cannot go home with any of this.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43'So we need to sell, sell, sell!'
0:33:43 > 0:33:44Thank you.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45There you are, my dear.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Hope you have lots and lots of fun with that.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- Have you just bought that? - Yes, they have.- Put it there!
0:33:50 > 0:33:51What a great buy.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54That face is what it's all about, isn't it?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57The people of Matson are having a wonderful time
0:33:57 > 0:34:00and Claudia has brought along some four-legged entertainment.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09And it looks amazing.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- Are you going to get yours done? - Do you know what, I keep asking, and they'll never let me do it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15I want a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention, please?
0:34:18 > 0:34:22In 15 minutes' time, the stalls will be officially closed.
0:34:22 > 0:34:27But from now on, anything on the stalls is £1.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Clear the lot of it all away.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- So, last push for the last 15 minutes.- No problem.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Let's get money, not items.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35That's what we want. OK? Well done, guys.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Have a look at that. Good man, I love it.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- The missus doesn't like clowns, so...- Perfect. I like that.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Guys, have we sold the bike?
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Yes, I have.- Well done. How much are we buying that one for?
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- £1.- £1, good stuff.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51So, where's the moment? Here we go.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention, please?
0:34:54 > 0:34:58The stalls are now officially closed.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00So, thank you so much.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03While we are counting the money and the proceeds of what we've taken
0:35:03 > 0:35:04already today,
0:35:04 > 0:35:09we're going to leave you in the safe hands of our gospel choir, who will entertain you.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11This is Instruments of Praise!
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Give them a round of applause!
0:35:13 > 0:35:14Thank you.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21# This is the day This is the day
0:35:21 > 0:35:28# That the Lord has made That the Lord has made... #
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Whilst the local gospel choir gets the crowd going,
0:35:31 > 0:35:34we're busy totting up the cash.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38But we've already raised some money at the saleroom in Derbyshire.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Our auctioneer was James Lewis.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45First up, we have the German 1890s trinket tray,
0:35:45 > 0:35:48which was donated by Richard.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50The Continental porcelain dish.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53The estimate is a lowly £5 to £10.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54£5, someone?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56£5 here. Six, for you.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Six, eight.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01It quickly smashes through the top end of the estimate, though.
0:36:01 > 0:36:0216. 17?
0:36:02 > 0:36:0517, 18, 19.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07At £18. Still in the room.
0:36:07 > 0:36:0819 do I see? All sure?
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Selling at £18...
0:36:12 > 0:36:15That's got us off to a flying start.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16Thank you very much.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Next, let's hope the gold watch,
0:36:18 > 0:36:22which Richard also donated, can do just as well.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24We teamed it up with the silver thimble.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29The lady's 14-carat-gold fob watch.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32The estimate is a whopping £60 to £100.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Let's hope the bidders are in the room.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37And I can start the bidding here at £30. Absentee bid.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Five, 40, five, 50, five.
0:36:40 > 0:36:4255. 60, five.
0:36:42 > 0:36:4465, 70. And five beats it.
0:36:44 > 0:36:4675 has it.
0:36:46 > 0:36:4775, 80 now?
0:36:47 > 0:36:50At £75.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51Yours.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Mid-estimate but very respectable.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59Altogether, we've made £93 at the saleroom,
0:36:59 > 0:37:01but what's the running total?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- So, what have we done, Tim? - It's been a good day.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07We've done £428 today.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08Plus the 93.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- What does that work out as? - It's £521.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14That's not bad.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16But, if we're going to reach our £800 target,
0:37:16 > 0:37:22the pop-up auction is vital, as we're still short of nearly £300.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Ladies and gentlemen, let's start the auction.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28First up, it's the three signed football photos.
0:37:28 > 0:37:2921?
0:37:29 > 0:37:3022?
0:37:30 > 0:37:3123?
0:37:31 > 0:37:3224?
0:37:32 > 0:37:3325?
0:37:33 > 0:37:3526? 27?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37£30, thank you, sir.
0:37:37 > 0:37:3831?
0:37:38 > 0:37:39£31.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42It's going once, twice, sold.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13Well deserved.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Well, I missed it. I fell asleep. So...
0:42:16 > 0:42:21The fact that they've all come out and did this for us is, like, wow!
0:42:21 > 0:42:24- And I can't believe they all kept it quiet.- No!
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- But...- I've always wanted to go to Ireland, so, yes, it's lovely.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Yeah. It is amazing.

0:42:58 > 0:43:00I hope you've enjoyed the show.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Keep watching, because we could be coming to your street the next time
0:43:03 > 0:43:07and this auction could be all for you. Goodbye.
0:43:07 > 0:43:12Brendan is looking forward to taking Sarah to Ireland for the honeymoon of a lifetime.
