0:00:02 > 0:00:0740 years ago people knew at least 50% of the people
0:00:07 > 0:00:10living in their street, but today we barely know our neighbours.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Well, all that's going to change
0:00:12 > 0:00:14for this particular street in Wiltshire...
0:00:14 > 0:00:16CHEERING Let's go.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20..because later on today it's going to be jam-packed full of people
0:00:20 > 0:00:21for one massive task,
0:00:21 > 0:00:24and for one extraordinary person who's lucky to be alive.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27You know, I wasn't the person that I was before.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31We don't even know now as to what his prognosis is.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Despite a life-changing brain injury,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36he now dedicates himself to his community.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38He's been very, very good, very supportive.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41I know he does think of other people a lot.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Facilities like ours couldn't survive without people like Jim.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Should his kindness be rewarded?
0:00:46 > 0:00:48We certainly think so.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51We're raising money with a street auction with items
0:00:51 > 0:00:54that have been donated by all the neighbours around here.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57But rounding them up will have its challenges.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Well, there's no-one home, I'm moving on.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Three in a row, everyone out.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05And we'll have to work round the clock to reach our cash target.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06- It does work.- I'd better get it out of here
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- before you change your mind. - Absolutely.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10It's a 1930s Poole Pottery.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12But will it be worth it...
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Going once, twice, sold.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18..and how will our local hero react
0:01:18 > 0:01:21when he discovers that this is all for him?
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Been an amazing boy.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Today we're in Calne, a medieval Wiltshire market town
0:01:30 > 0:01:34that's become a modern-day magnet for young families.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37The residents here may be new or long-established,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41but whoever they are, they're likely to know of one local man
0:01:41 > 0:01:44because of the tireless work he does for others.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46His name - Jim Sutton.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Same time next week? - Same time next week, yeah.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Yeah, round the corner.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53We've told Jim we're here to make a programme
0:01:53 > 0:01:58about neighbours and communities, a subject that's close to his heart.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Whether it's assisting at the community hub,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02acting as a volunteer bus driver...
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- See you next week, yeah?- Oh, yes. - OK.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08..or coaching the youth cricket club,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Jim is sure to be the first in line to help.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15But how can he be motivated to do all of this on top of having
0:02:15 > 0:02:17a life-changing injury?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Well, I'm off to meet one or two of those closest to him.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Claire?- Hello.- Hello.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Oh, hello! What's your name?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- This is Headley.- Headley.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Hello, Headley.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Jim and Claire married in 1997.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32They had two boys, Oliver and Ben,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35as Jim forged a successful military career.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39When we moved to Calne, Jim was in the Air Force,
0:02:39 > 0:02:40based at RAF Lyneham.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43He often went away.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46He went to Yugoslavia, he was in Iraq.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48It was quite a varied job for him.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53In 2004, Jim's all-action life came to an abrupt halt.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55While out jogging, he tore an artery,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57restricting the blood supply to his brain.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Jim recovered, only for this life-threatening
0:03:01 > 0:03:05and rare experience to happen again, four years later.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07But this time it was even more damaging.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10The damage the second time was worse for him.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13His character had really changed.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17When they did the cognitive assessment they did say
0:03:17 > 0:03:21there and then to him that actually there was brain damage.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23We don't know whether that will ever happen again.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27And as if that shock wasn't hard enough to absorb,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Jim was in for more bad news.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Unable to fulfil his RAF duties any longer,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35he was medically discharged from the service.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46We want to raise £500 so Jim can make a special trip to Canada
0:03:46 > 0:03:51to visit the grave of the man who inspired him to join the RAF -
0:03:51 > 0:03:52his uncle Fred.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Fred was a trailblazing pilot who tested the latest fighter jets
0:03:58 > 0:04:02across the Canadian prairies in the 1950s.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04But on one dangerous test flight,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Fred's jet crashed and he was killed.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10It's been Jim's lifetime wish to visit the grave
0:04:10 > 0:04:12and pay his respects to his hero.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17It was something we'd perhaps plan for future future,
0:04:17 > 0:04:18but obviously with Jim,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21we don't quite know how long that potentially is going to be there.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26So to get it sooner for him would be a little tick on his bucket list.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30'And it's a box we'd like to tick for him.'
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- I'll catch up with you later, OK? Good luck.- Bye-bye.- Bye-bye.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Now, the plan is we're going to ask all of Jim's friends and neighbours
0:04:41 > 0:04:45in this street to hand over their unwanted and unloved stuff.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48And we're going to sell it in the street in a pop-up auction.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I'm going to be the auctioneer, so that should be good fun,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54but we do need to raise money, so the pressure is on.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56We've got to find a lot of things
0:04:56 > 0:05:00and also we've got to keep this a secret from Jim.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03He cannot find out until after the auction.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Now, I can't do this on my own so I'm calling in a favour
0:05:08 > 0:05:12from my wheeler-dealer mate, Danny Sebastian.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Danny.- Morning, Paul.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Good morning. How are you? One big empty van.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20And hopefully that's going to be full at the end of the day.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Well, hopefully. Well, they're big houses,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- there's probably a lot of gear here. - Yeah, and I reckon it's going to be
0:05:25 > 0:05:26in the garages and sheds.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I think anything that's worth £5 or £10 or £6 or £8,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- it all adds up to that big pot. - Of course it does, yes.- Doesn't it?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Yeah.- So what side of the street do you want?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Rock, paper, scissors? TOGETHER:- Rock, paper, scissors.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Oh, you win.- I win. - You wrap around me.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40- I wrap around you.- You win.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- OK, what do you want, odds or evens? - I'll go for evens.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44- OK, look, good luck.- Good luck.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Put it there.- Thank you, Paul.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49We've got a big task ahead,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52and today we're going to need some great donations, so,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55good people of Calne, what have you got for us?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Nope.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58We'll come back later.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Well, if I open the gate then you can go down the side?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Oh, fantastic.- Okey dokey, then.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Please be in, please be in.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07No. Three in a row, everyone out.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Brilliant. I'll take that one. - All right.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Nice little push-bike.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- OK.- Bits and bobs.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Don't know who's handing out the good luck today
0:06:14 > 0:06:16but they're not giving me any.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I bet Danny just knocks on the door and they go, "Yeah, come in!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21"Here it is."
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Electric guitar, saxophones.- Yeah.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Danny's picking up quite a few second-hand kid's toys
0:06:27 > 0:06:30and as long as they're in good condition, they'll always sell well.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33All we're missing, I think, is the kitchen sink.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Yeah.- Maybe that's to come. We might find it in here.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37You might find it in that lot.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39It can't be five in a row. Come on.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Thank you very much.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I think you've done really well there, and it's a good start.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Yes, yes, no, thank you very much.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47That's us.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51'Surely someone must be on my side of the street?'
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Hi, hello.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Are you Welsh and gorgeous?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- You are.- Am I?- You're are. - I'm Welsh and gorgeous.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- What can I tell you?- There you are. Who are these guys?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02This is Toodles and this is Sparky.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- You know Jim?- I know Jim. - You know Jim.- Yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Have you got anything that we can have a rummage with and, you know...
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Anything that you can have a rummage with?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Can I have a rummage?- Anything that you can have a rummage with?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- You can take that mirror.- We're going upstairs. What mirror?
0:07:15 > 0:07:16- That mirror? - You can take that mirror
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- because I don't want that one. - Really?!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Honestly.- It's a modern contemporary mirror.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23It's not bevelled glass but it's got the look and I'm sure
0:07:23 > 0:07:26it's going to suit our street auction, and that's what counts.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29You can take these prints because they're really old.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- You don't want the prints? - No, take the prints,
0:07:31 > 0:07:32if you can get in there.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Anything, absolutely anything.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37'The pictures are prints of wooden Chablis cases -
0:07:37 > 0:07:39'a French white wine.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42'They may look old but they're actually mass market modern prints
0:07:42 > 0:07:44'made to give a vintage look.'
0:07:44 > 0:07:45- And do you know what?- What?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I think this could do all right.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Oh, bless!- They're very decorative.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- As long as it helps.- But they're easy to place.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53They're clean, they're ready to go.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Modern they may be but they're still attractive and we should hopefully
0:07:56 > 0:07:58get a fiver for them on the bric-a-brac stall.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Yeah, I've got a few knick-knacks in my garage.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05If you want to take a look, you're more than welcome.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06That sounds brilliant.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Don't bring that dog, though, he's growling already.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10He's all talk and no action.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Oh, he's all bark and no bite. - Let's see what do you think.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16And what a surprise is in store.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Well, there's plenty of bits and bobs here.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21It just depends what can go. That old radio's fine, yes.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23It does work.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24- Does it work?- Yes, apparently.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Is it valve?- Yes.- Oh, lovely.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Wendy's valve radio was popular during the 1920s and '30s
0:08:31 > 0:08:34and was made by a Cambridge-based firm called Pye.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37It's a wooden radio, however, and a bit battered.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39I'd better get it out of here before you change your mind.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Absolutely, absolutely. Let's raise some cash.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I think the bric-a-brac stall is the best place for it.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I'd love it to get £20.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Wendy's daughter Tracy has something for us, however,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51which might prove a little more valuable.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I brought this round.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- I don't know if that's any good. - That's nice.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56My grandmother gave it to me.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57- Did she?- Yeah.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- I'm not sure...- That's quite nice, actually.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02..if that's any use.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04It's a nice heavy lump, a nice bit of coloured grass.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06It looks like Murano, Italian.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Murano glass comes from the Venetian island of the same name.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14This isn't actually Murano but it's still high-quality glassware.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Can see this is well made.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Some glasses are pressed together, this one isn't.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22It's actually a blown piece because you can't see where the seam is.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25It's got a nice weight to it as well, it's a nice heavy lump.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27No chips. You won't need no fish with this.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I heard it was for a good cause and it's something that my nan
0:09:31 > 0:09:35was very much like that - she was very giving and very charitable.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38If she's so giving and it's all about giving then I think
0:09:38 > 0:09:42the two of them kind of marry together, which is really nice.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44That vase will definitely go to the auction
0:09:44 > 0:09:46and could raise as much as £30.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49'That's a great find for Danny,
0:09:49 > 0:09:53'but after a slow start, I'm not doing too badly either.'
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Do you want to come have a look in my garage?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56- Can we have a look? - Of course you can.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Nice kitchen.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59DOG BARKS
0:09:59 > 0:10:01'You're never quite sure whether
0:10:01 > 0:10:05'you'll find a Chihuahua or a doberman behind closed doors.'
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Oh, some little kid will be really pleased with that.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Stereo? I've got a huge stereo.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yeah, we'll take that.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15It's a big sound system, isn't it?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Time to make some noise.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Back in Wendy's garage, there's one very special pledge,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24courtesy of her own engineering company.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Well, I might be able to help you there.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I can donate a VIP
0:10:29 > 0:10:33British Touring Car Championship ticket for Silverstone.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Wow.- Whoever gets the ticket will have a fantastic day.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37- I'm sure they will.- VIP.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I might even start bidding myself, if that's going up for grabs.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42What an amazing family.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46It looks like this community is right behind our street auction.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Not surprising, though, as Jimmy's such a good neighbour.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Alison is just one resident who's benefited from his kindness.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Brilliant. Half a dozen DVDs.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Thank you so much.- Wonderful. - That'll be great.- Thank you.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00So, tell me a bit about Jim.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- I gather he helps...?- My third child has got severe autism.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08He actually has been a really great help with him,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10and his wife, actually,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13have been a really great help with Evan
0:11:13 > 0:11:17and are very, very understanding of his needs and everything.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Jim's a really lovely guy.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23He's really easy-going and I think children pick up on that.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Yeah.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28It's obvious how well Jim is loved by his friends and family,
0:11:28 > 0:11:32but they know only too well how he has struggled since his injury.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38The artery tear damaged the part of Jim's brain that controls his memory
0:11:38 > 0:11:43and thinking skills. That left him vulnerable to low self-esteem,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45social withdrawal and depression.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48It was probably at its worst when I realised, you know...
0:11:51 > 0:11:53..that something needed to be done was that
0:11:53 > 0:11:57I couldn't bear even hearing the noise of my children playing.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00And I couldn't understand why that was.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Oliver remembers Jim from before his injury and he remembers Jim being
0:12:06 > 0:12:11a very happy, outgoing dad who used to play football a lot with him,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14they used to be outside all the time.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18So life stopped for him and the boys found it really hard.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Certainly for Oliver, who's a little bit older,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26he'd been used to Dad before and couldn't understand Dad afterwards.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28As his depression deepened,
0:12:28 > 0:12:32cracks began to appear in Jim and Claire's once solid marriage.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36It's very hard to admit that something is wrong
0:12:36 > 0:12:38and that those that love you
0:12:38 > 0:12:42and support you are actually being affected by it as well.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Mmm. I think it's, um...
0:12:49 > 0:12:53..knowing that Jim had such a risk with his life
0:12:53 > 0:12:55and that that happens every day.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57When the times were really difficult,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00when perhaps our relationship wasn't great
0:13:00 > 0:13:03or that he was being really difficult,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06even though I knew it wasn't him, there were moments when
0:13:06 > 0:13:10it would have been easy for me to be able to say, "I've had enough."
0:13:11 > 0:13:14But because I love him, you know,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16we've stuck together and it's made us stronger.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20You're doing a good job there.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Back on the streets,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24eagle-eyed Danny has possibly spotted a treasure trove.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I can see that garage is full.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28You can't even get your car in.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- No, no.- There's plenty here. What needs to go?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33And with Steve wife's Anne joining...
0:13:33 > 0:13:35That can go.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38..we're taking everything from dog baskets, bikes and more.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43There's a few bits of furniture coming out of that garage, too,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46including a modern but dull wooden sideboard.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50In its present condition, £10 would be optimistic.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I'd like to see how much stuff Paul's got.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I'd put a pound to a penny he's got less than me.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- Danny, all of that?- All in one hit.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59We needed a lorry.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00BICYCLE BELL RINGS
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- And that bike as well? - And a Raleigh.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Raleigh has been making British bikes for over 130 years.
0:14:06 > 0:14:12It's in good second-hand condition, as is the always popular BMX bike.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I'm hopeful we'll get £10 for each of them.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Danny's pulled out all the stops here.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20So it's about time I got a move on, too.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- Hello.- Hello. Hi, My name's Paul.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24- What's your name?- Rachel.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Rachel. Have you got anything in the house that you could donate
0:14:28 > 0:14:29- to this auction?- I haven't as such,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31but I've got my own cleaning business
0:14:31 > 0:14:34and I'm quite happy to donate a couple of hours' cleaning.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Can you donate some of your time?
0:14:35 > 0:14:36- Yes.- Oh, fantastic.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- OK?- Thank you very much. See you at the auction.- Bye.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Great. Your own cleaner for two hours.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45That's sure to attract bids at the street auction.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48But what if some neighbours can't actually be there?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Well, this one is still keen to help raise money for Jim.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Are you collecting now? - Yes, we are.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Because we're moving out today.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58You're moving out today.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- There you go.- Oh, thank you very much.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02How sweet is that?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06He's just moving house and he's not going to be here
0:15:06 > 0:15:09but he's donated a tenner. Just goes to show,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12there's still a lot of nice people left in the world.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Come on. Let's see what else we can get.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Well, I've got another donation - an old wooden writing desk.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23It looks very Georgian in style but it's actually a 1920s copy.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26We'd be lucky if we got £15 for it,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28but I might have an idea to make it more profitable.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Come on. Have a read of this.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Meanwhile, Danny's trying his luck with Jim's four-legged neighbours.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Here you are, have a read of this.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Stick to people, Danny, they are friendlier.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Is there anything you've got?
0:15:39 > 0:15:44- Any old kid's toys, anything I can rummage around with?- Um...
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- I've got a table.- Would you mind donating that...
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- No.- ..for our street auction? - No.- Are you sure?- Yeah, have it.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Because, fingers crossed,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- we might be able to get £15, £20, £30 for that.- Yeah, yeah.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59As well as the coffee table, there are four toys in great condition.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02These are perfect in an area with lots of children.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- Come to the street party. - Oh, we will.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07And I think this is a great way of bringing the community back together
0:16:07 > 0:16:09because so many people lead busy lives.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12You know, we're always doing so much and you don't know what's going on
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- around the corner with your neighbours.- Mmm.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16I know you don't know Jim,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19but he is a real angel - he helps everyone in the community.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22It was time spent at Headley Court,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26a rehabilitation unit for injured military personnel,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29that helped Jim focus on the future -
0:16:29 > 0:16:31a future of helping others.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Seeing how they all support each other so well at Headley Court,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38it just made me feel as though
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I could maybe do something to help.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44It just opened his eyes to a different world
0:16:44 > 0:16:47and he said he thought then he could actually be involved
0:16:47 > 0:16:50in some sort of volunteering or caring role.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Jim is a massive asset because he does
0:16:54 > 0:16:57let us have loads and loads of his time every week.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Clubs like ours and facilities like ours couldn't survive without people
0:17:01 > 0:17:04like Jim and I think he's just a great example
0:17:04 > 0:17:07of what community coaching and volunteering is all about.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08It gives me a warm feeling, you know,
0:17:08 > 0:17:13and it makes me feel as though I'm doing something worthwhile
0:17:13 > 0:17:16and it has helped my self-esteem and confidence.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20He's really pulled himself up and I see the character coming back out
0:17:20 > 0:17:24in him that we haven't seen for a long time...
0:17:24 > 0:17:27and Jim's discovered that life is still worth living.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35'Well, it's time to meet the man himself,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37'without giving the game away, of course.'
0:17:37 > 0:17:40WHISPERS: I've got to go in and talk to Jim.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I know he's sitting in his front room, that's why I'm whispering,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44cos his window's slightly open.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I think he is a bit suspicious.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49But this is key, cos I want to find out all about Jim,
0:17:49 > 0:17:50what drives him...
0:17:51 > 0:17:55..more about the man, and I want to let him tell the story
0:17:55 > 0:17:57because if I dig too much he might rumble me.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00'Now, I don't want to blow this,
0:18:00 > 0:18:05'so as far as Jim thinks, we're raising money for a local cause.'
0:18:05 > 0:18:09We've got something in here that we're quite happy to let go.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I don't think it's of any great value, to be honest with you.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14But it's...
0:18:14 > 0:18:15I'm not a ceramics person.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- Some Carlton Ware, so... - Oh, brilliant!- Yeah.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21'Carlton Ware was a prolific pottery based in Stoke-on-Trent.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26'Some good Art Deco designs from the 1930s can reach thousands of pounds,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29'but other pieces can be found for as little as a fiver.'
0:18:29 > 0:18:31It's a nice thing. Great.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Good.- What the dog's name? - Headley.- That's an unusual name.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Where does that come from? - I was at Headley Court.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- What's that? - It's the military rehab centre.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- What were you there for?- I had a brain injury when I was in the RAF.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43So you're not in the services any more?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46No, I was discharged, medically discharged, a couple of years ago.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53No, I've sort of made a pretty good recovery so I'm doing OK, thank you.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Upwards and onwards, so they say. - Absolutely.- That's right, yeah.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58'Jim's mum, Babs, lives with the family,
0:18:58 > 0:19:02'and as she's in on the secret, she's look out a few things for us.'
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Any silver hallmarks?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- I don't know.- I've never looked at them, to be honest.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08No, they're silver plate.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- I think they're just...- Yeah, EPNS. - Yeah.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13'EPNS is where a very thin layer of silver
0:19:13 > 0:19:15'is applied to a nickel base.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18'It was first introduced in the 1840s
0:19:18 > 0:19:20'as a cheaper alternative to solid silver.'
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- That one's got the silver hallmark on it.- Oh, has it?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Silver's right on its knees right now, even for scrap value,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28silver's selling at around £8.50 an ounce.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Five years ago it was £30.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36So a little teaspoon like this would have been worth £5 or £6
0:19:36 > 0:19:39but, sadly, today it's not worth 50p.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40And it all goes to melt.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41But we won't be melting this.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Hi, guys.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45'Upstairs, Jim's two boys, Ben and Oliver,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48'have found some things they'd like to donate, too.'
0:19:48 > 0:19:50So what have you guys got?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I've got some boxing gloves that I don't use.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- You don't use these any more? - No.- Fantastic.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Oh, that's fabulous.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01And it's a small child's size one as well.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03It's a good little...
0:20:03 > 0:20:07'A child's guitar is three quarters the size of a standard instrument,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10'making it easier for a youngster to hold.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14'I'll sell it on the rostrum and see if I can get a budding Jimi Hendrix
0:20:14 > 0:20:15'to pay £15 for it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17'But I'm keen to find out more from Jim.'
0:20:17 > 0:20:20You said you liked travelling. Where would you like to go?
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- Where would I like to go?- Where's on your sort of bucket list?- Canada.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28'That's good. We're on the right track, then.'
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Do you know, everyone loves mirrors. I know it looks a bit dated...
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Yeah.- ..but can we give it a go?
0:20:33 > 0:20:34- Absolutely.- Please.- Please do.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Because I'm after anything. I mean, you know, it might be a couple
0:20:37 > 0:20:39of pounds but it helps, doesn't it?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Absolutely.- What about the sticks?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Can we have the sticks?- You can have this sticks as well.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47By all means. My sticks I have to carry in one of these.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50You're a golfer, then? I am a golfer.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- You like it?- To be honest with you,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55it's one of the things that's got me back into sport was doing it
0:20:55 > 0:20:58through Help For Heroes Battle Back scheme -
0:20:58 > 0:21:01a military scheme to get guys trying different sports
0:21:01 > 0:21:04after injuries, so golf was a real tonic for me.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07And of course meeting up with other veterans
0:21:07 > 0:21:09and doing something we all love, which is nice.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- It's good.- That's important.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- You need to keep in touch. Thank you for this.- That's all right.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Pleasure.- It's been a real help, actually.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17It really has. And, you know,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19everyone's been so kind in the neighbourhood.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20- Did you know that? - That's great to hear.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22We're going to have a great party.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Looking forward to it.- And your mum's has been a star as well.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Yeah.- Old Babs.- Yeah.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30We've got some good items from the family
0:21:30 > 0:21:34and hopefully Jim still doesn't know who we're raising money for.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38I met the man, Jim, this is what this programme is all about,
0:21:38 > 0:21:43that guy there. I got him to admit he wants to go to Canada.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46And Babs has been brilliant. She's had a good old forage.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48We've had a good find in that house.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Right, it's time to meet up with Danny and see how we've got on.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Danny. It's the end of the day.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- It's getting that way now. - We've got a van load.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57How do you think you did?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I tell you what it is, Paul, I think I'm in front already.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I had several houses I knocked on that nobody was in.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I had 14!
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Now, then. Enough of that old flannel.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09I've heard all that before.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Well, let's empty the van
0:22:12 > 0:22:15and line up everything both Danny and I have collected.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17If we spot anything of great quality,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20we can send it to a saleroom.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Selling on 70.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24But before we can even look down the line,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26there's a last-minute donation.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Thanks very much.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31We've got a corkscrew and we've got some buttons,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33some enamelled buttons
0:22:33 > 0:22:35and we have some Poole pottery,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38some 1930s Poole pottery.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Poole pottery was made in Dorset from the late 19th century.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46The brightly-coloured 1970s designs are more popular, but this pair of
0:22:46 > 0:22:491950s vases are in perfect condition.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I reckon they're worth £20-£30.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54And I like the little enamelled buttons. Look at those.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Small decorated buttons like these were popular in the 1920s
0:22:57 > 0:23:01and were made so you could change the buttons on your waistcoat.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I think they could fly in the saleroom. At least £30.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Wow! This is a good day's work, Danny.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I was going to say, an impressive day's work.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Look at the length of YOUR pile!
0:23:12 > 0:23:15It just goes on and on.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16'The Poole pottery and the buttons
0:23:16 > 0:23:18'are definitely bound for the saleroom.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22'But is there anything else in the line-up which can go there, too?'
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- That's a nice little glass, isn't it?- Nice bit of glass.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Yeah! Let's stick that into auction.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Stick that into auction.- Shall we? - That's a good find.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- It's a nice big lump.- And that's kind of topical right now.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Everybody likes that.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Yeah, '50s glass. 'That's three pieces heading to the saleroom.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37'And as for this item,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41'I reckon there's potential for a bit of upcycling.'
0:23:41 > 0:23:44That, in a kid's bedroom, would keep all the toys tidy.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47You know, all the Lego, all the clutter you get,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50all that plastic stuff can go in there and it's against the wall.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52We don't want to paint it pink because it's...
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Predominantly girls.- We don't want to paint it bright blue.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58That is the colour we're painting it, OK?
0:23:58 > 0:23:59We'll paint it that - a neutral colour.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02That'll be great for that. That'll go in a kid's bedroom.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05'There's also a second piece of unloved furniture
0:24:05 > 0:24:07'that could benefit from similar care and attention.'
0:24:07 > 0:24:12And this, I think we go for a soft, feminine colour.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Something like an ochre,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16something quite muted and subtle,
0:24:16 > 0:24:18that will sit somewhere in a hallway.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19- Happy?- Very.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21That way we get a better deal.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I think we'll do it, then.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31It's the day of our street auction and, boy, there's lots to do.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35All the bric-a-brac stalls have to be set-up...
0:24:36 > 0:24:38..the bunting hung...
0:24:39 > 0:24:42..and there's more donations arriving at the last minute.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45At least the sun's shining, Danny.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47That's what the doctor ordered!
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Fingers crossed this works.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Hi, stewards. Thank you so much for helping us out today.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I can see a few familiar faces here.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Shall we get started? ALL:- Yes!
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Come on, then. Well done.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Jim's friends and neighbours have come out in force to help us hit our
0:25:00 > 0:25:04target. We've even got a visitor from Hollywood.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Oh, I can be Marilyn any time you want me to be.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11It's time to get stuck in and it's really uplifting to see a whole
0:25:11 > 0:25:14community rally together for one of their own.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- That's a nice bit.- Some lovely bits coming out here.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18If you find a bit that needs to go in the auction,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- for goodness' sake, grab it. - Don't you worry, I shall do.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22I know you will!
0:25:23 > 0:25:28I mean, there's got to be, on this table alone, about £100 worth.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29And we're still opening boxes.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I think that £500 target
0:25:32 > 0:25:36is very achievable with the kit we've got here.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I'm confident, but we need people.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42We need people to turn up so they can spend their money,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44so we can get £500.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48'Jim has arrived, still unaware that all of this is in his honour,
0:25:48 > 0:25:52'to thank him for all the good work that he does for THIS community.'
0:25:52 > 0:25:55All these jigsaws have been checked, so all the pieces are there,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57I'm reliably informed.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I'm just wondering whether or not we needed to do them, just to double check.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- There's nothing worse than having a jigsaw...- He's QUITE quick
0:26:02 > 0:26:05at doing jigsaws, but I don't know if he's that quick!
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I'm very good. Especially if it's only got 40 pieces.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09THEY LAUGH
0:26:09 > 0:26:13And an old RAF friend, Shane, has turned up to help, too.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Did you work with Jim at all?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Yeah, I've known Jim for a very long time.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19- In the services?- Yes.
0:26:20 > 0:26:231993 was the first time I met Jim.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- Down in the Falkland Islands. - Really? Falklands?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27What's he like to work with?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Outstanding. He's the salt of the earth.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31In the forces, the mates are your family.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- Of course they are.- And you do anything for your family.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Is this a really hard career to turn your back on?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40How do you think Jim felt when he was discharged?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Devastated.- Really? - Absolutely devastated.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44So far so good, we've got away with it.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46He's down there, you can see, helping out.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48To be honest,
0:26:48 > 0:26:51how Claire managed to get him out of playing cricket today as well...
0:26:51 > 0:26:54And you're selling books.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56AND...dog food.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Doesn't get much better than that, does it?!
0:26:59 > 0:27:02I'm still a few items short for my pop-up auction,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04so let's see what's around.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07There is something that's been added at a later date, because
0:27:07 > 0:27:10I know Danny and myself didn't find these.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13I love these self-stacking bistro chairs.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15They're great in the garden, great in the dining room,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17they're great in the kitchen.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Spare chairs. And when you finish with them, look,
0:27:19 > 0:27:21you just stack them like that.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Stick them in the shed.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24That's fantastic.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27I want to get 20 quid for that set of four.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30'These chairs are similar in style to those made famous by the Danish
0:27:30 > 0:27:32'designer Arne Jacobsen.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35'They're a fraction of the price, but they'll make a really classy
0:27:35 > 0:27:38'addition to someone's home.'
0:27:38 > 0:27:40That's brilliant. That's really, really good.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44'Meanwhile, it looks like Danny has found something interesting, too.'
0:27:44 > 0:27:47I've just spotted a lovely pair of bevelled-edge mirrors.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I mean, these are absolutely fantastic.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53It's got a little gallery at the top. There's a bevel edge on it.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56People love it. They want to see a bit of authenticity.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57They want it to look old.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02They want it to look real. This oval-shaped, again bevel-edged.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04I don't call it bevel-edged.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05I call it diamond cut.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08The light hits it, you get a great reflection.
0:28:08 > 0:28:15These two have to go to auction and I'm expecting £15-£20 apiece.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17I think Danny is bang on the money with these two.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21But as well as older items, there's also a brand-new one.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25A local business has donated this lawnmower fresh out of the box.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29And it retails at around £350.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Fingers crossed we get over £100 for this.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34I'd like to see £200 upwards.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37That's going on the pop-up rostrum later on today.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41And our up-cycled furniture has just arrived.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45A good job's been done on these, I think.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Fantastic, yes.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49The team has done an absolutely fantastic job.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52And they stuck to the brief, look - same colour!
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Well, that colour is quite neutral.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58With a simple sanding and a couple of coats of paint,
0:28:58 > 0:29:01the wooden sideboard looks a million dollars.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03And the newly-painted drawers
0:29:03 > 0:29:07bring this old 1920s desk into the 21st-century.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I think when you get on that rostrum and
0:29:10 > 0:29:13put your mind to selling these, this is where the money is.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16I'd imagine you've got £20, £30 apiece here.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19I kind of agree, but I think £15,
0:29:19 > 0:29:22and I think £10 is a really good starting point.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25If we can build on that, that's good.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Talking of starting points,
0:29:27 > 0:29:31it's almost time to open this street auction to the public.
0:29:31 > 0:29:32But will they turn up?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Of course they will!
0:29:35 > 0:29:38They've arrived in their hundreds to support the cause.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- ALL:- Ten, nine, eight, seven...
0:29:41 > 0:29:43- Good luck, Danny.- Good luck, Paul.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- We've got our work cut out. - We have, but we're going to do it.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48We're going to do it. We know what it's for.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50CHEERING Let's go!
0:29:57 > 0:30:00There's lots of great items on the bric-a-brac stalls,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03but it never hurts to encourage people
0:30:03 > 0:30:05to dig deep into their pockets.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07I have...£2.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- Or purses.- £3.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11£3.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- Done.- Brilliant.- Because it's you, it's that smile.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- Thank you so much.- These are absolutely fabulous
0:30:17 > 0:30:20and I tell you what - they're not big money. They're not, honestly.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- Look at that.- £1 apiece and that's cos it's you.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27And our volunteers are selling hard, too.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29What would you offer me?
0:30:29 > 0:30:30About a fiver?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- Two?- Five?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- Five it is, then.- Thank you very much indeed!
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Babs seems to be doing a roaring trade on the cake stall.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Don't forget that slice you're saving for me.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I'm not going to worry. Thank you, Babs.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46He's my love.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47MY love. I made it!
0:30:47 > 0:30:49THEY LAUGH
0:30:50 > 0:30:52The bric-a-brac is moving.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55That is the best thing because at the end of the day,
0:30:55 > 0:30:57if we haven't sold this, this is dead money.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59We haven't thought about that.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01So all of this has got to go.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Our Marilyn Monroe lookalike
0:31:03 > 0:31:06is turning out to be a box office smash hit...
0:31:06 > 0:31:07A kiss on the cheek.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Thank you!
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- Don't tell the wife! - "Don't tell the wife!"
0:31:11 > 0:31:13..with the male audience, anyway.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16What we're after is your camera phone.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Yes.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- Because this young gentleman is going to have a picture with Marilyn.- That doesn't surprise me!
0:31:21 > 0:31:24No. Well, it will do in a minute. It's going to cost him a fiver!
0:31:26 > 0:31:28- Super. - Is Dad going to have a go?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Have you got a mobile phone?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Jim's neighbour Alison has been buying up all the cakes.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- How are you doing?- I'm all right.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- How are you?- Hopefully, she can confirm that he is still in the dark.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- Where's he gone now? - I think he's behind us.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44In true pantomime fashion, he is behind us.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46He's not aware of nothing as of yet?
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- Not at all.- No. How you think he's going to be when we reveal the great
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- reveal?- He'll be very surprised
0:31:52 > 0:31:54that all this fuss has been made of him.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56He's such a lovely man.
0:31:56 > 0:32:02To have this fuss made over him will really, really just take him aback.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Let's just hope we reach the target.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Fingers crossed.- Yes, you might have to sell them cakes, otherwise.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08You're not having my cakes!
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Save me one just in case there's no more at the stall.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15It's almost time for the pop-up auction,
0:32:15 > 0:32:18but one final push on the stalls can only help.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Right, everyone, we have ten minutes to go before the auction,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25so everything you've got is now half-price.
0:32:25 > 0:32:26It's all got to go, OK?
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Time to get a tally on how the stalls are doing.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31How's the teas and coffees going?
0:32:31 > 0:32:33It's going quite well, actually. The cakes have gone mad.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- How much are you doing on the cakes so far?- Doing well.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- How much?- About 60, £70.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Woo! £60 or £70.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42- Yeah.- Yes!
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Yes! Yes!
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Hopefully, we're still on target
0:32:46 > 0:32:49to reach £500, but don't forget we've also sent some items
0:32:49 > 0:32:52to the auction house, so while the cash from the stalls is being
0:32:52 > 0:32:54counted, let's see if our lots
0:32:54 > 0:32:57can make some money over in the saleroom.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Toby Pin is our auctioneer.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02All done, selling on £15.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04And Jim's mum Babs has come along
0:33:04 > 0:33:06with a friend to see how the items do.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08We're starting with the pair of
0:33:08 > 0:33:111950s Poole pottery donated at the very last minute
0:33:11 > 0:33:13of our rummage day.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17A pair of 1950s period Poole pottery tapered vases.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19They're in perfect condition
0:33:19 > 0:33:21and should reach their estimate of £20-£30.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Who's going to start me? £20 for these.
0:33:25 > 0:33:2720 I'm bid. 22.
0:33:27 > 0:33:2925? 25 anywhere?
0:33:29 > 0:33:3125. 28.
0:33:31 > 0:33:3330. 32.
0:33:33 > 0:33:3435.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Selling them at £32.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- Well done.- That's a good start.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43Next it's the glass jug given by Wendy's daughter Tracey.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47It's not Murano, but a 1970s copy which mimics the style
0:33:47 > 0:33:49and has an estimate of £20-£30.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51A bit of a bargain.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52£28 anywhere?
0:33:52 > 0:33:5428. 30 here.
0:33:54 > 0:33:5632 in the room.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58At £32 here.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59I've got 35 anywhere else?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02At £32 then, Mr Thompson.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Ready for a drink? Are all done?
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Selling then on £32.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Lovely.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Lastly, it's the 1920s waistcoat buttons.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14Since they featured Newfoundland dogs, I'm hoping they'll appeal
0:34:14 > 0:34:16to both button and dog lovers.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18They've only got an estimate of £10-£20,
0:34:18 > 0:34:21but I fancy they could attract bigger bids than that.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Look at those. Lovely. - They are, aren't they?
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Interest here. We've got commission bidders.
0:34:27 > 0:34:3022, 25, 28.
0:34:30 > 0:34:3230 anywhere else?
0:34:32 > 0:34:3430, thank you. 32. 35.
0:34:34 > 0:34:3638. 38.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37I'll tell you when it's too much!
0:34:37 > 0:34:4038! 40. 42.
0:34:40 > 0:34:4145. 48.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43You'll have to round it up.
0:34:43 > 0:34:4548. £50.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Selling then to Mr Dawe at £50.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Thank you very much.- Great.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52I had a good feeling about those buttons
0:34:52 > 0:34:56and added to our other sales, we've made £114.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59But how have we done back on the street?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02The figures are in and it's looking fantastic.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- Go on.- They've raised £558.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- Yes!- That's what I thought.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07That's fantastic.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Well done, you. You've been selling hard.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11You've been doing that.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14That is brilliant. We have got Jim to Canada, right?
0:35:14 > 0:35:18We've also, I can reveal, got £114 from the saleroom.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21It's great news, but once you've climbed one mountain
0:35:21 > 0:35:23why not try and climb another?
0:35:24 > 0:35:28Since his illness, Jim's been on an emotional rollercoaster,
0:35:28 > 0:35:31and by his side supporting him every step of the way has been Claire,
0:35:31 > 0:35:33his wife.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38It would be lovely to be able to send them BOTH to Canada.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39Trip of a lifetime for two of them.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Come on, let's do it. I'm so excited.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- Let's do it.- Thank you so much.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48It's time for our pop-up option, so will everybody gather around?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Come forward, so I can hear you from the rostrum,
0:35:50 > 0:35:52and we'll get the auction started.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Fingers crossed.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58We'll need to raise £1,000 to send them both across the Atlantic.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Let's hope the bidders are ready to dig deep into their pockets.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06I'm going to start straight away with lot number one.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09First up, it's the upcycled storage cupboard.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Can I take 20? Thank you.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Thumbs up. £20.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15I've got £20. 22.

0:40:55 > 0:40:56Right, I'm coming down there
0:40:56 > 0:40:59and I'm going to tell you what this is all about.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04You know when you're raising money for the right person
0:41:04 > 0:41:06when that person is the first to ring up
0:41:06 > 0:41:09and volunteer their services and donate a load of stuff
0:41:09 > 0:41:11for our pop-up auction, OK?
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Now, they thought it was for a community project.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Well, it's not. We told a little fib.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18It's not for the community.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20It's about someone who lives in this street.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Someone who has done so much for this community
0:41:24 > 0:41:25and this part of Calne.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28A man who's really blown me away, OK?
0:41:28 > 0:41:32He works tirelessly for everybody else and he's right here.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33And he's Jim Sutton.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36CHEERING
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Well done. Well done.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Speechless!
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Not only can we send you off to Canada...
0:41:52 > 0:41:55the wife can go as well. Claire, come in on this.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Hopefully, the whole family can go.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Well done. Thank you so much, everyone.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Thank you very much. I had no idea at all
0:42:06 > 0:42:09that this had anything to do with me whatsoever.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12I'm still trying to get over the shock, actually, I think.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14But an awesome, an amazing day.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17I think what made me more emotional than anything is the fact
0:42:17 > 0:42:19that not just family and friends were here,
0:42:19 > 0:42:23but the whole community was here and that was what made it even more
0:42:23 > 0:42:25special. And a lovely atmosphere.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28It's been great to see the town in such a good light.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29Bless you.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31You've been an amazing boy.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37It's fantastic seeing all of Jim's family,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40friends and neighbours come together and show their appreciation for such
0:42:40 > 0:42:45a brilliant guy. In fact, it's brought the whole street together.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49It's been a brilliant day. At one point I didn't think we'd make it, but we have. We've done it in style.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53Now Jim and his wife Claire can go to Canada and enjoy the trip of a
0:42:53 > 0:42:55lifetime. Keep watching,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57because hopefully we're coming to a street very near you soon
0:42:57 > 0:43:00and this auction could be all about you.
0:43:00 > 0:43:01So until then, it's goodbye.
0:43:03 > 0:43:04Well done, well done.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Jim and Claire are now planning their trip to Canada
0:43:08 > 0:43:12so Jim can finally visit the grave of his uncle Fred.
