0:00:02 > 0:00:04Do you know your neighbours?
0:00:04 > 0:00:05Well, lots of us don't.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07We are trying to change all of that.
0:00:08 > 0:00:13Shortly, this street in Dorset will be jam-packed full of people for one
0:00:13 > 0:00:15big task.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19One extraordinary person lives here who's had a life-changing accident.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23Life doesn't end because you've lost your hand.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Despite his injury, this chap always goes beyond the call of duty to put
0:00:26 > 0:00:28others first
0:00:28 > 0:00:32and we think it's about time that this kindness is recognised.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34He's a real trier. He just never gives up.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- Well, he's a lovely person. - He's amazing.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38We are raising money by selling items
0:00:38 > 0:00:40in a pop-up auction right here
0:00:40 > 0:00:43that have been donated from all of these houses.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47But will the local community all rally together and open their doors?
0:00:47 > 0:00:48I think that means a "no".
0:00:48 > 0:00:50It's going to be a tough task.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Are the items going to be worth anything?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55He's got a shed full of junk.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56I'm sorry, I shouldn't say...
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- It's not junk.- Can I get in there?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Well, if you want to.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Will our local hero rumble us?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Fingers crossed, he doesn't suspect a thing.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06And how will he react when he finds
0:01:06 > 0:01:09out that the money is going, well, to him?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11CHEERING AND CLAPPING
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Today, we're in Beaminster in Dorset,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19a small town of about 3,000 people
0:01:19 > 0:01:23that was once home to a thriving woollen and linen industry.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27We're pulling this community together for one person.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And this is who all the effort is for - Rob Holt.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Hello, load of logs?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Thank you very much. - That's all right.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Normal place?- Yes, please. - Right you are.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41We've told Rob we're making a film about neighbours and communities.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44He's an all-round good guy.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48He'll help anyone in need and is known to everyone in the neighbourhood.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Well, he's a lovely person. He's a really lovely, huge,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54great, red-headed bearded person.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57To find out more, I went to meet his partner, Lorraine.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01So, what's Rob like as a sort of husband, father...?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03He's an amazing chap, he really is.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06He's a big gentle giant.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08You have to be open and honest like he is,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10and that's the type of person he is.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13He's firm, he's fair, and he's like an open book.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16And like a great big Viking.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22But on one fine spring day, Rob's life would change forever.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26I was shopping with my daughter,
0:02:26 > 0:02:31I was on my way home and my mobile phone rang, and I ignored it.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33And then it rang again, and then it rang again.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35And Zach, that's Rob's son, he said,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37"Oh, Dad's had a really bad accident."
0:02:37 > 0:02:41And my heart sort of came up into my throat and I thought,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44"Right, OK. OK. Right, let's go find out what's going on."
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Rob was felling a tree with his 14-year-old son Zach
0:02:47 > 0:02:49when the accident happened.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Now, Zach was...
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Well, he was an absolute star, he really was.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57He drove the Land Rover across the field to go and get help.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Well, he must have been in shock, as well.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01He was, he was only 14 at the time.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Steve, the guy who works for us, he...
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Well, Rob owes him his life, he really does.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- If it wasn't for him, he would be dead.- Mm.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I didn't really think much about it at the time, you just
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- go into autopilot, really.- Sure.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I was down there with his son.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21We were just stood by the tractor, just chatting away
0:03:21 > 0:03:23and there was a crack.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27You know, when you hear a crack when somebody's sawing, that's not good.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30As Rob was chopping a five-tonne ash tree,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32it split and came crashing down.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40Just looked round and we just saw the tree split up and go over,
0:03:40 > 0:03:45and then just came down like a giant fly swat and just hit him.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Rob tried to get out of the way,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50but slipped and was crushed by the massive trunk.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52The pain was quite immense.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Zach was there with me and I just didn't really want to scream out
0:03:56 > 0:03:58and frighten him to death, poor little chap.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01He was in bits and pieces as it was.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04And he'd done really, really well holding it together for me.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I've never seen, sort of, anything like that before.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Only in a film.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12It sort of looked like something out of a horror film, really.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I knew I was hurt really, really badly.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Obviously, because my hand was hanging off.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I was extremely concerned that I wouldn't be able to work again and
0:04:22 > 0:04:25provide for my family, and my partner, Lorraine,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28because I'm a bit old-fashioned like that.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32And that was it, that was 999.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I ran back up the slope, first aid kit.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Big bandage... Took my shirt off, ripped it up into bits.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- Just chatted to him, then.- Yeah.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Saved his life.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44He owes him his life.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Rob's injuries were so severe, his arm could not be saved.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56It was amputated at the scene.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Eventually, the coastguard helicopter had to lift him out
0:05:01 > 0:05:04because the air ambulance, they couldn't get him off the slope.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13And it didn't really sink in until we got to A&E at Bristol
0:05:13 > 0:05:16where he was laying in a bed with his arm missing.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Rob's desperate for a prosthetic hand
0:05:21 > 0:05:23which would be life-changing for him.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26It will look and feel realistic and won't need a harness,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28so it won't cut in when he wears it.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32And that's why we want to raise a whopping £2,000
0:05:32 > 0:05:33towards the cost.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42And here's how we're going to do it.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Well, the plan is we're going to ask all of Rob's friends and neighbours
0:05:47 > 0:05:49to hand over their unwanted and unloved items
0:05:49 > 0:05:53so we can sell them on the street here in a pop-up auction.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I'm going to be on the rostrum, it's going to be lots of fun.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57And that's one challenge.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01The next challenge is we've got to keep this a big surprise from Rob
0:06:01 > 0:06:02until after the auction.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04If we're given any quality items,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07we'll send them off to a sale room auction.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10It's a tall order and I'm not entirely sure
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I can pull it all off by myself.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15So, I've roped in my mate, Danny Sebastian,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17wheeler dealer of all things old and aged.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19He knows a lot about everything.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Hey!- Come on, Danny. We've got a big mission.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Get out and join me in the rain.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- How are you? - I'm all right, thank you.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I'm getting wet.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28It's good to see you.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30We've got a chore in front of us today, haven't we?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Big mission.- Big mission. - Very, very big ask.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Rob Holt, local resident, OK?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38His friends are scattered all over this part of Dorset.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41He lost an arm - he's a tree surgeon - in a tragic accident, OK?
0:06:41 > 0:06:42- He's still working...- With one arm?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Yes. Don't ask me how he does it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- We can do it.- Well...
0:06:46 > 0:06:47I think... I can do my share.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Thank you very much. - I can do my share!
0:06:50 > 0:06:51The big question is...
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Let's get going!- ..can you match me?
0:06:53 > 0:06:57No, I think the big question is who's getting this van this morning?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Have you got a coin on you? - Yes, I have.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- You get the van first. - I get the van first.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Well, at least I'll be in the dry.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- OK. OK. I'll see you at lunchtime. Good luck.- Good luck.- Good luck.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Danny may have the van, but while he's cruising the country lanes,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I can get a head start with the rummaging.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17We need people to open their front doors,
0:07:17 > 0:07:21their attics and their garages for us.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Have you got anything you can donate?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- I've got a jug.- Oh, brilliant!
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Brilliant, thank you very much. - Would you like that now?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Here you go. Is that any good? - Yes, yes, please. Yeah.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Thank you very much. - I don't know whether I could find something else, but...
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Not a bad start.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Hopefully, those items should be worth a couple of pounds each.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I've only got a wormery for you.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- You've got what? A wormery?- Yes.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Oh, I'd love that!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46LAUGHTER Yeah! Yeah!
0:07:46 > 0:07:49The most bizarre thing. That is brilliant, thank you.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52What a charming lady.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53That is brilliant.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55A wormery is a really effective way of turning waste
0:07:55 > 0:07:58food into fantastic compost.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Gardeners love them. This would cost around £30 new.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Hopefully, that's a tenner.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07It looks like Danny's got the golden touch today.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10He's only gone and stumbled on a treasure trove in the village.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- It's an old dough trough?- Yes, it's an old dough trough.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Fantastic. That's lovely.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18A dough or bread trough was used for centuries for bread-making.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It's where you knead the bread dough
0:08:20 > 0:08:22and then leave it to rise before baking.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24That is a fantastic piece.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I bought it when I had a much bigger house.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Could I be cheeky and say, is there more?- Yes.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Because we've got a big figure to reach.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Every little helps.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Does it work?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Yes, I have spun with it, yes. It's a long time...
0:08:37 > 0:08:39And away we go.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41That is fantastic.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Yarn spinning in Britain goes back before the Romans and is currently
0:08:45 > 0:08:48enjoying a revival due to the interest in rural crafts.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52A new spinning wheel is likely to cost upwards of £200.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54This is a bit of history
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and I'm sure it's going to get a good result on the day.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03'I've stumbled across a local residents' meeting in the church hall.'
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Hello. Good morning, everybody.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08'That's a bit of luck, it looks busy.'
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Do you have anything you can donate to our pop-up street auction
0:09:13 > 0:09:15which we're having on the village green just there?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17We're going to have a big street party...
0:09:17 > 0:09:21'I've got to keep the faith, but at least Danny looks like he's on a roll.'
0:09:21 > 0:09:23There's a pram behind there.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Can you manage?
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Oh, I like that.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28It's got to be over 100 years old.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Probably, yes.- You know? Any by...
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- It's a Victorian pram. - It's a Victorian pram.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Danny's making this rummaging lark look like child's play.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Look at the spring, look at the suspension! Fantastic!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41This pram may look in quite a state,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44but there are collectors who like to restore them.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Among the most collectable names is Silver Cross,
0:09:46 > 0:09:50started in Leeds in 1877.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Thank you very much. Have a good day.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53- Thank you.- Bye-bye!
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Still, this is no time for me to throw my toys out of the pram.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I've still got things to find.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- I've got you a few bits.- Brilliant, can I come in?- Yes.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04DOG BARKS
0:10:04 > 0:10:05I don't know if any of those are any good.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Oh, this is brilliant.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10This lovely couple are called Margaret and Nigel
0:10:10 > 0:10:11and we've struck it lucky here.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15They're offering us their quirky collection of ceramics.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18These were popular tourist souvenirs in the early 1900s.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Today, they sell for around £3 each,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23but rarer ones can make about £15.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27So, tell me a little bit about them. How have you come by all of this?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Well, we had a hotel in Eversholt
0:10:29 > 0:10:34and we had a big collection of all this stuff around the hotel.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Cheese dishes would be our speciality, I think!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Margaret had the biggest collection of cheese dishes in the country.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40I think 600 or something.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- And when we sold the hotel, I let them all go.- The lot!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Apart from those boxes there which are still full of them!
0:10:45 > 0:10:46What is it about cheese dishes?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I don't know, I just thought it would be rather fun to collect,
0:10:49 > 0:10:50so we had quite a selection.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51So it was quite good.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Some of these ceramics are damaged,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56but are still collectable if they have the right look.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Let's put these into the saleroom, the auctioneer can split them up.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03What he doesn't want to sell, I can sell on the pop-up rostrum.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I have high hopes for this little lot.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08They should be worth around £30 to £40.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13Do you know what? I was feeling very despondent five minutes ago.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Oh! Look, you know, you've been brilliant.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- You've been brilliant.- He said he'd go to the attic.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Thank you so much.- You're welcome. - I can't believe...
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I can't believe you've given me so much, do you know that?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- You're very welcome.- Most of this is going off to the auction. Thank you.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31If we can find more people like that, we're going to do this.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33But I'm still worried.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Well, beat that, Danny!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41If you want to compete with me, you'll have to use your charm.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I say, you do look lovely.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Thanks very much.- We're doing...
0:11:45 > 0:11:47We're doing some local fundraising
0:11:47 > 0:11:50for an amazing guy who's lost his arm.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Yeah, Rob' Logs, yeah. I know him.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- He delivers to me.- And he's still doing it.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- I think he... - Oh, yeah. He still does it.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58He lost his arm last year, didn't he, I think?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01That's right, yeah. We're looking for donations, really.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04You might have a mirror, you might have kids' books.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05You can come and have a look if you want.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Fantastic.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09He's got a shed full of junk.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said junk...
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Can I get in there?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16If you want to. If you can get in amongst the sawdust,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- you can have a look.- Can I get in there?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Let's put that there, then.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Go on!
0:12:21 > 0:12:23You're more than welcome.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26You're more than welcome to have a look.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Wow, this is great.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- How about that ladder?- You can have that if you want.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Yeah, that would be great. We can probably do some...
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I'm sure it'll sell because they are quite in vogue.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37And that chair's quite nice, also.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39How about that fishing rod?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Yeah, you can have that.- Can we have this?
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Yeah, you can have that, as well.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Fishing's become one of the nation's top leisure activities
0:12:46 > 0:12:49and there are growing numbers who now collect fishing memorabilia.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51You've seen hundreds of these...
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Oh, you're a good man.- You've seen hundreds of them.- That's a nice one, that.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56It's an old plane, isn't it? What's that? Mortise?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58No, that's your shaper.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Do different shapes on, these sorts of things.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03You'll get a tenner for that, for sure.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Well, I'll make sure we do get a tenner for it, now!
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- John?- Yeah?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Pleasure. That'll do.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13There's a chair inside the shed, I think it belonged to, maybe,
0:13:13 > 0:13:14your family's...
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Yes, it was, it was a nursery chair.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18They used to cut the legs off, didn't they,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21so that they could change the babies easier and that.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- That's right.- Yeah. - I think it's beautiful, I must say.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Really?- Can we put it in the auction?- By all means, have it.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31So, Danny's got a fishing rod and not one, but two chairs.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Treasure, treasure!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36And they're both crying out to be upcycled.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38That will sell, not a problem.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Easy £10, £15.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42And people like to upcycle, as well,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45so even if they sanded it down and brought it to its raw self,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47or if they sand it down and then repaint it.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50It's what's in vogue at the minute.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I must say, this little one's nice.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55That would be great in a kids' bedroom.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58We had a nice hit today.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Yep, stripping off the old paint and then repainting them
0:14:01 > 0:14:05will be enough to liven them up and increase their value.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Everyone seems keen to help Rob
0:14:07 > 0:14:11and I wanted to find out what makes him so special.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Rob's a really great and helpful guy.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15He's the sort of guy that if you got stuck in the mud,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17he would get his tractor and pull you out.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19If your cat was up a tree, he'd get a ladder
0:14:19 > 0:14:21and go up and rescue the cat for you.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23He took my son on when he was learning how
0:14:23 > 0:14:25to do the chainsaw work and the forestry.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Rob gave up a lot of his time for Luke.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29He took him under his wing, taught him all about forestry,
0:14:29 > 0:14:33tree-cutting and carpentry in a lot of ways.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Put a lot of time in.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37And he's a thoroughly good guy. He is one of the best.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Everybody sort of knows me and I know them.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43And if somebody needs a hand, just give them a hand.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46It's not all about money, life.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48It is not. It really isn't.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50You help people, they will help you.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51As well as helping others,
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Rob's day job involves delivering logs all over the area.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58And it's clear his work as big-hearted Rob
0:14:58 > 0:15:01makes an impression on everyone he meets.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Wonderful guy. Very helpful. He supplies us our wood.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07He actually lives just up the road from us, as well.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10He's a very nice man. He works very hard.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11He's not a defeatist.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Big, tough, strong man.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15And he's part of the community here.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Really cheerful.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21And Steve, the person who saved Rob's life,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23has a great item he wants to donate.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Let's have a look. - There you go.- Oh, that's lovely.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Oh, that is fantastic.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30It's got a big initials on here somewhere. There we go.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32This silk Edwardian top hat
0:15:32 > 0:15:35was made by Lincoln Bennett & Co of Piccadilly, London -
0:15:35 > 0:15:36top-hat makers to the king.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Now, that's real quality.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Top hats are still worn for special occasions
0:15:41 > 0:15:44and a new one can cost upwards of £600.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47And a box like that is worth at least £50.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50With a bit of saddle soap on that, that's got the look,
0:15:50 > 0:15:52that patina will come right up
0:15:52 > 0:15:54and that will do well in the auction room.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Thank you very much.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Now, I'm off to meet some lads who all know Rob.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Hi, guys. My name's Paul.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04They're the emergency team who helped save his life.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08And I want to find out more about what happened on that day.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Can you talk me through...
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Talk me through that day when you arrived?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13What was the first thing you saw?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15So, we were mobilised from here,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18obviously, responded on blue lights
0:16:18 > 0:16:21and we were waved down by his son on the road
0:16:21 > 0:16:23just outside where it happened.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26And at that stage, you realised you had to deal with not only
0:16:26 > 0:16:28a chap that had lost his arm, but also a tree?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30And you had to get it off of him, basically?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Yes. Yeah, that's right.- You weren't able to get him out of the field?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Where the incident has happened,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37it was on a really steep slope in the woodlands.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40We couldn't get any vehicles close by.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43That's where the coastguard and helicopters came in.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Well, you know what we're doing, don't you?
0:16:45 > 0:16:46I don't know if you can do anything.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48We can come along with a fire engine,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- show everybody the kit that we carry...- Great.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52..put some buckets out, do some collections.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54We're going to do this. I'm feeling confident.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I've got four guys to help me now.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58It's not just me and Danny, there's now six of us.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02And, speaking of Danny...
0:17:02 > 0:17:04HORN TOOTS
0:17:04 > 0:17:06PAUL CHUCKLES
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- How are you?- Good to see you.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I want to see what's in the back, there.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11I'm depending on you, Paul.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15I don't think there's that much gear or money's worth in the back, here.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Come on, get out. Get out.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19It's your turn for the brolly.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21And to be quite honest with you...
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Give us those keys.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23..I had the harder job!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I did! I had the harder job!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Got a fishing rod, with the eyes.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Oh, that's nice. Look at that!
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- That's beautiful.- Pair of chairs.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I don't think it's going to amount to £2,000.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43It's not quality, is it?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- What do you mean, it's not quality?! - You were fibbing. You were fibbing.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- You said you'd gone for quality. - What about that plane?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Maybe, between us, we've got 400 quid.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Still a long way from our target. - Still a long way to go. Come on.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Danny, good luck.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Good luck to you, too.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00You might need it. See you later, Paul! Good luck!
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Knowing what's in the back of the van,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Danny's going to have to turn on the charm big-time
0:18:05 > 0:18:07if we're going to hit our target.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Just after any donations at all,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11if you might have anything that we can...
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Sorry!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Anything at all?- No.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16No? OK, thank you very much.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I think that means a "no".
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I almost feel sorry for him.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26But I can't hang around to help.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30I'm on my way to see Lady Sandwich, who's keen to donate.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33She knows Rob because Rob was working on her estate
0:18:33 > 0:18:35when the accident happened.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Hopefully, I can find something for our pop-up auction.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I want to come back with it full, it's as simple as that.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51I know you've heard all about Rob, haven't you?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- The accident happened here on the estate.- Yeah.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57He's been very, very robust about it.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Absolutely wonderfully robust about it.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I've got some things here...
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- Really?- Otherwise, you can simply put...
0:19:03 > 0:19:05If you like, you can put Mapperton House on the skip.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07You can take the whole thing with you.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Give us half a chance and we would!
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- Is that your handbag?- Yes, it is, actually.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Can we have that?- You're very welcome to have it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18And here's another book that I know you'll all want,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20which is called The Kindness of Women.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21I'll read that.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Lady Sandwich's box includes a vast array of items
0:19:26 > 0:19:28from trinkets to one of her own handbags.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33My next call is going to be the most challenging.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I'm getting a bit nervous now.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Rob lives here.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Now, I've got to knock on the door
0:19:41 > 0:19:44and make out I'm putting the flyers around...
0:19:45 > 0:19:50because I can't let him tumble that I know about him.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Fingers crossed he doesn't suspect a thing.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Otherwise, game over.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02- Hello.- Hello.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Well, luck's on my side. Rob's out.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06What have we got in here?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09There's some bits of sort of costume jewellery and all sorts.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- And you don't mind us taking all of these?- No, no.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Lorraine, who's obviously in on the act,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15has some things to donate,
0:20:15 > 0:20:20like this pietra dura brooch made using finely cut and polished stones
0:20:20 > 0:20:22to create an image.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Oh, no. Rob's back!
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- We've got visitors.- Oh, have we?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Time for an Oscar-winning performance.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29- Hello.- Hi.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Pleased to meet you.- Hello, hi.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33We're filming with the BBC.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- My name's Paul.- Yeah, I know who you are!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37THEY LAUGH Who are you?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Rob.- Rob, hi.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Well, we're rummaging through your...
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- If you don't mind. - They're just rummaging.- Carry on.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45We're after things for our charity auction.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- We're having a big street party. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50And all the proceeds are going to good causes in the area, so...
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Yeah, yeah, yeah. You carry on.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Oh, wow, look at this.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54This is really nice, a little Parker pen.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55'Parker's a good name.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58'These are damaged, but they're in their original box,
0:20:58 > 0:20:59'so they should be worth around £10.'
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I used to have one of these when I was at school.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03- This was my grandad's.- Was it?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Oh, I'm not that old! - No, I know you're not!
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I'm not implying that you're my grandad.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Thank you so much.- That's quite all right. Nice to meet you.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It's brilliant. Yeah, nice to meet you, as well.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- And you.- And you, mate. - Oh, what happened there?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I had an accident last year...
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20..with a tree, a tree split out and took me hand off.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- What were you doing? - I was a forester.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Oh, is that what you do?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Yeah.- Oh, I'm sorry.- On the estate.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- On this estate?- Yeah. I've got several different adaptations
0:21:31 > 0:21:34which fit on there to help me throughout the day to do different things.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- So you can get about?- Yeah. - That's brilliant.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I've got a ball on the steering wheel and that fits on
0:21:39 > 0:21:41the ball and then I can drive a car
0:21:41 > 0:21:44or a lorry just like anybody else can.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- That's fantastic.- Life doesn't end because you've lost your hand.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- No.- There is things I can't do but,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53you know, I still earn a living.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Yes, that's the main thing, isn't it?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57We've met the cats.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Have you? - THEY LAUGH
0:21:59 > 0:22:01They've got more rights than what I have.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- That's what you said, didn't you? - That's what I said, yeah!
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Cheerio.- Cheerio, nice to meet you. - And you.- Bye.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13We got away with that. We got away with that.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Wow, what a lovely couple and isn't Rob a cracking guy?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19He just... I said, "You're a big bloke, aren't you?"
0:22:19 > 0:22:22And he went, "Yeah, used to be in a tug-of-war team for England.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23"I was the anchorman."
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Powerful bloke.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28But you know what, if he was a smaller guy,
0:22:28 > 0:22:32he wouldn't have survived that accident. He's as strong as an ox.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Now it's my turn to be as strong as an ox.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39We're going to do this. We're going to get that new arm.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44The day is almost over and our target's still looking a long way off.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Time for one last push.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- Great, thank you very much. - Not at all.- I say, Mum's the word.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Well, I've got a pair of oars here that I'm sure they might clean up
0:22:53 > 0:22:54and go well in your sale.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- You're welcome to have them. - Oh, they're fantastic.- Old oars.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Well, you might be thinking rubbish,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01but there are people who love quirky items.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03These should look great mounted on the wall
0:23:03 > 0:23:05and should be worth around £20.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Some old books. Quite nice. I mean, these are decorative items.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10What have you got here?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13I've got a compost bin, you know, a plastic one, a big one.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- It could be useful.- Oh, yeah, yeah. - If you're interested in that,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- you're very welcome to have a look at it.- I'll have a look.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Oh, I love that.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Do you like that?- Oh, isn't that sweet?
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Can we have that?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Yes, we'll take it. Yeah, I mean, we're not being choosy.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Well, that's good, that's excellent.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Right, we're done.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Let's see who's triumphed on our rummage.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Well, look at what Danny's scooped up.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36I think he's won this one.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- I like that, Danny. - That doesn't look bad, does it?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- No.- We'll soon spin up some money with that, I'm sure.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Very good. I've got a top hat, silk top hat with leather case.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- What, inside?- Inside, that's going off to auction.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Lots of china, lots of pledges.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I'm right down the back here.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- You are, you have gone for quantity. - What's happened?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- I've got to say that.- With a little bit of quality in it, as well.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Well, I didn't know about that, but those chairs have real potential.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Re-paint, bit of upcycling.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03I'm sure, yes.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06We want to get as much as we can from this lot,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09so some better things are going off to the saleroom auction,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11including Steve's Edwardian top hat
0:24:11 > 0:24:13and Lorraine's boxes of gold watches,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Parker pens and jewellery.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Do you know, I can't wait to get it all out on the bric-a-brac stall
0:24:18 > 0:24:22because, you know, three quid, four quid, £5, £2, £1, 50p.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Soon mounts up.- It does, doesn't it?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I tell you what, though, I'm not sure
0:24:26 > 0:24:28whether we're going to get to £2,000, but...
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- No, not at this rate.- Not at this rate. What are we going to do, Paul?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- We going to do it on the day. - We're going to do it on the day.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- We've got pledges, as well.- We've got pledges, of course we have.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38We've got some good pledges. I've got a great bottle of wine,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I've got things going off to auction.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I've got to admit, it's been harder than I thought.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- It's been extremely hard.- It's been really hard, hasn't it?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- Yes, it has, yes.- Well done, Danny.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Well done, Paul. You're the champ.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Today's the day of our street auction and there's lots to do.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Morning, everyone.- Morning. - You're our volunteers helping out.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Thank you so much for helping out.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I can't shake all of your hands,
0:25:06 > 0:25:07but I'll see you all throughout the day, OK?
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Rob's friends and neighbours have also turned out in force to help us
0:25:11 > 0:25:13hit our target.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Fingers crossed it's all going to work.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21Raising the £2,000 from unwanted stuff is an ambitious goal.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I've got to work hard on the rostrum,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25you've got to work hard selling behind the stalls.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- That's all we can do.- Enjoy it. Smile!
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I'll definitely enjoy it, but whether we're going to reach the
0:25:31 > 0:25:33target or not...
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Good luck.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Now, it's time for us to get stuck in.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Tell you what, I think we're getting there now, Jordan.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48It's amazing to see a community pull together for such a good cause.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Oh, gosh, here comes the fire brigade.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52They turned up, brilliant!
0:25:52 > 0:25:53This is going to be fabulous.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Brilliant, that's perfect.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08A bit of Portmeirion, that's quite nice.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13Portmeirion pottery was founded in the 1960s and is still being made today.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17A new large bowl and jug could cost £100.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18We like that.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20The Helleborus pattern.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Look at this. I mean, this is great.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28You know, 50p each maybe, £2, £1, £4.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32It all adds up and within one hour of those stalls opening,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35I can see £30.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39People are dropping things off and one colourful item's caught my eye.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Poole Pottery. Well, it doesn't get any better than that, does it?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45We're not far from the coast, we're not far from Poole here in Dorset,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47so a bit of local interest.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I think that's a classic bit of 1970s in perfect condition.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53That's got to be worth £25.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Brightly coloured Poole Pottery from the 1960s to 1980s is proving
0:26:57 > 0:27:00popular with those after a retro look.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02As the stalls are taking shape,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Rob's partner Lorraine has arrived to help out.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08I didn't recognise you with the shades on.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Hello.- How have you been?- Oh! Yeah.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13I've been like that, believe me,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15all the pressure's on me, not on you.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Does he suspect anything? - I don't know.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19There's been a bizarre phone call this morning to his son
0:27:19 > 0:27:22saying, "Well, there's something going on and you'd better tell me
0:27:22 > 0:27:24"what it is." So...
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- He's twigging, is he?- Mm. - Where is he now?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28He's doing some bits with his tractor.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Thank goodness for that. Keep him away a bit.- Yeah.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Keep him away, OK?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Then our neighbour's bringing him here about 2.45.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Brilliant, that's just about right, isn't it?
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Yeah, yeah.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Lorraine's friend Terry is helping out on the bric-a-brac stall.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45She first told us about Rob.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- So, it's all down to you. - Unfortunately!
0:27:49 > 0:27:52And on the day of the accident, her husband, Carl,
0:27:52 > 0:27:53was in the thick of it.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- Hello.- Morning. - I've met the other half, Terry.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- Good, are you OK?- Yeah, so you're a close friend of Rob.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- How long have you known him?- Years.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03And you were there the day the accident happened?
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I was called out with the fire brigade, yes.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07I'm a retired fireman, as well as a tree surgeon,
0:28:07 > 0:28:11so I'd known Rob through the trees for years,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13but was called out that day with the fire brigade.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15He was, unfortunately, in the wrong place at the wrong time.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18He was brave, I mean, right the way through, he never made a fuss.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19- Really?- No fuss whatsoever.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22How do you think he's going to react to this at the end of the day?
0:28:22 > 0:28:26He's one of these people that doesn't like a fuss made of him.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28He just plods on, no matter what anyone does to him,
0:28:28 > 0:28:30whether they're trying to stop him,
0:28:30 > 0:28:32he'll just bulldoze through and he'll just keep going.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- He's one of them sort of people that never, ever gives up.- Yeah.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39- Does everything for everybody else and doesn't expect anyone to help.- Absolutely, yes, exactly.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Exactly. But I think, deep down, he'll be pleased.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44I'm still short of a few lots for our pop-up auction.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45Let's see what's around.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51That's early 19th-century and that's a lovely bit of fruit wood.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54I think it could appeal to those interested in old rural crafts.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Hopefully, it'll make at least £30.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Danny did well to find that on the rummage day,
0:29:00 > 0:29:03but I think I can hold my head up high, too.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07There's the wormery. I found that wormery just by the church.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- Oh, it's looking great. - I'm going to give you a hand.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- I want to get involved.- Please, please.- I want to get involved.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Danny's been roped in to hang bunting.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17It is quite nice with that dipping, though.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20I hope people appreciate the artistic work here.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21Oh, don't you worry!
0:29:25 > 0:29:26It's just about to kick off.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- How do you feel?- Well, I'm a little bit apprehensive, really,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31but I suppose we've got to keep uplifted, haven't we?
0:29:31 > 0:29:33We've got to. We've got to be upbeat about this, yeah.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35But I'll tell you what, I am worried.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36There's a lot of people here, though.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38There's a lot of people, but I'm still worried.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40- I'm very worried.- I'm a little bit, to be honest.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Come on, let's get on with it.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Ten, nine...
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Come on, Danny.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- Eight, seven, six...- It's half past one. Let's get this party started.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- Good luck.- Good luck.- Here we go.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59CHEERING
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Well, that was a fantastic opening.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18All of a sudden, it looked like the whole community descended on this close.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19There's plenty of people now.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23Fingers crossed they start spending some money because we need a lot of it.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27You'll sand them down, they'll look nice.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28Can we sell this?
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Lovely to see you, beautiful.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32We'll do a good job for you, so thank you very much.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Well done, that's what I like to see.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37People with their purses out, full of money, spending it, as well.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42I want all you four down the front, doing some of that.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44OK?
0:30:44 > 0:30:45I've got the girls organised.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50There's plenty of money changing hands here and what's more,
0:30:50 > 0:30:52items for the stalls are still flooding in.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54What have you found there? That's lovely, isn't it?
0:30:54 > 0:30:56That's quite a nice little tantalus.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Someone has just turned up and donated that.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01'A tantalus is a wooden case for holding decanters.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03'The booze can be locked into it -
0:31:03 > 0:31:07'traditionally, to stop servants and staff from taking a nip of brandy.'
0:31:07 > 0:31:09There's a chip on the collar there, but it doesn't matter.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10- No.- And the key's missing.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12It doesn't lock. But it still looks nice.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- It does, indeed.- It does, doesn't it? Good Edwardian piece.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Great decorative piece.- Lovely. - Worth £50 of anyone's money.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19Worth £50. Yeah.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22It's definitely going on the pop-up auction later.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Meanwhile, Danny's fallen back on age-old methods
0:31:25 > 0:31:26of making money on a hot summer's day.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- How many do you want, sir? - Oh, Danny's selling ice creams!
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- Look at this.- We've got to try and raise this money somehow.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Brilliant. Brilliant, well done.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34- How many do you want, sir? - We'll have one.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35Thank you very much.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Lorraine's running the cake stall.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40I wonder if she's doing as well as Danny.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42220-odd quid.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45220 from just cakes and squash?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Just cake and squash.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49- Brilliant. That's fantastic. Well done.- Thank you.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Already, I'm doing sums in my head, you know?
0:31:52 > 0:31:56We just might do it. We just might do it.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Remember Danny stumbled across two old chairs
0:31:59 > 0:32:02on our rummage day a couple of weeks ago?
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Well, now they've been upcycled and they're virtually unrecognisable.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Yes, nice, these.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10Lovely colour, as well.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11We've given them a good sanding down,
0:32:11 > 0:32:13we've given them a nice paint job.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Really nice in a girl's room.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Nothing stopping you putting it into the bathroom.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Just hope they fetch good money and I know there's going to be a lot of
0:32:20 > 0:32:21bidding going on.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Can't wait!
0:32:24 > 0:32:28It only costs about £5 in primer and paint to get
0:32:28 > 0:32:30each chair looking smart.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32For a few hours of elbow grease,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34they should double their money easily.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Now, what else can I do to help?
0:32:41 > 0:32:46MAN SINGS BLUES SONG
0:32:53 > 0:32:58CHEERING
0:33:01 > 0:33:05Right, now let's spend some money!
0:33:05 > 0:33:08There's a great atmosphere for people to dig deep in their pockets
0:33:08 > 0:33:10but will it be enough?
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- I'm getting worried with the time. - Yeah, so am I.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14It's now quarter to three.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17I'm going to start the auction at half past three
0:33:17 > 0:33:20so we've got three quarters of an hour.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- We've got to keep going. - Got to keep going, yeah.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24- Keep going.- Bonjour.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Are you happy with that?
0:33:32 > 0:33:36I'm going to actually sell that from the pop-up auction.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38I'm going to wheel that up to the rostrum.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- You're a star, sir. Thank you. - That's £1!
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Got to stop the baby from crying somehow.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Let's give it a push.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48But we can do you that one for a pound.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- Yeah.- Oh, what a darling.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Can I have your attention, please?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55The stalls are now officially closed.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58The pop-up auction starts in half an hour,
0:33:58 > 0:34:01so please stay around for that. That should be a lot of fun.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03We still need a lot more money.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06It's been a brilliant day here so far
0:34:06 > 0:34:10and I'm really hoping that we can hit that £2,000 target.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14But don't forget, we've also sent some items off to an auction house,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16so while the team are totting up,
0:34:16 > 0:34:20let's see if our lots make some money over at the saleroom.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23All done, £45.50 here and five.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24To a hand.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Marc Burridge is our auctioneer.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28We're starting with the late 19th-century brooch
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Lorraine donated.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32I really love this and I think it'll fly.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35The Italian pietra dura brooch.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38It's got an estimate of £30 to £40 on it.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Let's see how it does.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42We have 60, 5.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35I can't believe it.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38I just can't believe people have done it for me.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43It's a very funny feeling, actually.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01- You did!- You are so naughty!

0:42:15 > 0:42:17- a new, realistic hand, you know, a lifelike hand.- Thank you.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- And that's what this was all about. - Thank you.- OK?- Yeah.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- Well, that's all right.- Yeah. - Brilliant. Brilliant.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25- Absolutely brilliant. - APPLAUSE

0:42:38 > 0:42:40I am so pleased for him.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41It's you!
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Come here.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46It was a good suggestion.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48You!
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Well, it's obviously been an amazing experience for everyone involved
0:42:52 > 0:42:53and a very emotional one
0:42:53 > 0:42:56and it's really brought the neighbours together.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59It's wonderful to see Rob surrounded by his friends,
0:42:59 > 0:43:00neighbours and loved ones.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02In fact, we brought the whole community together.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04We made it work.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07We've raised a staggering £2,075.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Keep watching the show, won't you,
0:43:09 > 0:43:12because, hopefully, we're in YOUR street the next time
0:43:12 > 0:43:14and this auction could be for you.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16So, until then, it's goodbye.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21Rob has now met with a specialist in silicone prosthetics
0:43:21 > 0:43:24and hopes to have a new, lifelike hand soon.
