0:00:04 > 0:00:07Do you know your neighbours? Well, many of us don't.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10We lead isolated lives and keep ourselves to ourselves.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Well, all that's going to change for this village, because, hopefully,
0:00:13 > 0:00:17later on today, it's going to be jam-packed full of people.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21The whole community coming together to raise £700
0:00:21 > 0:00:23for two very special people.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26And here they are, Ilona and Fay.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Despite difficulties in their own lives,
0:00:28 > 0:00:32they have dedicated themselves to bringing their community together.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35They're so selfless.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37You know, they'll just put everybody before their own needs.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And we think it's about time they were rewarded.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42And how are we going to do that?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Well, we're going to have a street auction.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47ALL: Three, two, one!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Yes!
0:00:49 > 0:00:51But it all depends on the neighbours.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Will they step up to the plate and donate enough?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I love the red one. He's a little devil.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58This is a real find.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Collectors are going to go absolutely crazy for this.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03And it's not going to be easy.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05I don't think there's anyone in.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07That's the one I wanted.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- You'll give me no chance?- Absolutely none whatsoever.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11OK. But I can try.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13And how will our local heroes react
0:01:13 > 0:01:16when they discover this is all for them?
0:01:22 > 0:01:27Today, we are in Rogiet in South East Wales, a village of 2,000
0:01:27 > 0:01:30that owes its growth to the expansion of the railway.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34At one time, seven shops were the beating heart of this community.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39But most of them are now closed, including the vital post office.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43It feels like the community and Rogiet has been fractured a bit.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Everything was changing,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47and the village didn't know how to change with it.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50But this once-close village is coming together again,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52thanks to the community cafe,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56started from nothing by Ilona Watson and Fay Baxter.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00They work tirelessly to keep the cafe open and provide a vital hub
0:02:00 > 0:02:03for the community to meet and chat.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05They don't ever think about themselves first.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07It's always about somebody else.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08And they've done all this
0:02:08 > 0:02:11despite battling with different circumstances at home.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Ilona's husband had a life-changing fall,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18and Fay's mum suffers from advanced dementia.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20To find out more, I'm meeting Mandy,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23a close friend and fellow volunteer.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24What are Fay and Ilona like?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30They're brilliant. They're very giving, they're very loving.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Ilona has an eight-year-old little girl and she has a disabled husband,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36so she's full-time carer for him.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Ilona has lived in Rogiet for most of her life,
0:02:38 > 0:02:42and has been married to Andy for 21 years.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Lilly came along, you know.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48We became a family, finally, after all those years.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And we couldn't have wished for anything better.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55But their lives were transformed six years ago when Andy collapsed from a
0:02:55 > 0:02:58blood clot and fell badly on the floor.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Spinal surgeon, he took one look at me and said,
0:03:03 > 0:03:04"You've broken your neck, mate."
0:03:10 > 0:03:13And even then, it still didn't go into my head,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15"Oh, my word, what's going to happen?"
0:03:16 > 0:03:19An immediate operation on his broken neck was needed,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21but a terrible decision had to be made.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26They had a choice, fix my neck, or save my life.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29So, it was the natural thing to do, was to disperse the blood clot
0:03:29 > 0:03:30and save my life.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34It was a very quick decision they had to make.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Even six years down the line, it's really hard to talk about it,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42but he's been very unlucky, let's just say that.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48One of the friends Ilona came to rely on was Fay,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51who had moved back to Rogiet with her children, Joe and Rose,
0:03:51 > 0:03:55to care for her 95-year-old mother, Pat, who had dementia.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Obviously, with dementia, she forgets things.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04She forgets that she hasn't eaten.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06She forgets she hasn't drunk.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10She forgets who everybody is, including me.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Deep in her heart, she knows exactly who I am,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18and she knows who her family are and her grandchildren and her
0:04:18 > 0:04:20great-grandchildren.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23She just needs, sometimes, someone to say,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26"This is who it is and you're OK.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29"They love you, you love them. It's all OK."
0:04:29 > 0:04:31What could they benefit from?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34The money that we're going to raise, what could we do?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Like, some downtime.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Some time away. Just 24 hours, or something like that,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41where they can just go, find themselves.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Have a laugh?- Have a laugh.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44And have just a good time together,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I think would be absolutely brilliant for them.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51So, we want to send Fay and Ilona on a weekend break to London.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53And the cost will be £700.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56And this is how we're going to raise it.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Well, the plan is to ask all of Fay and Ilona's friends and neighbours
0:05:00 > 0:05:03to donate any unwanted or unloved items to us,
0:05:03 > 0:05:07so we can sell them here in a pop-up auction on the street.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Now, that's a big enough ask, but the real challenge
0:05:09 > 0:05:14is keeping it a secret from Fay and Ilona until after the auction.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17But I can't do this all on my own,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19so I've called in favour from a mate,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21auctioneer extraordinaire Tim Weeks.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Good timing, Tim.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26- How about that?- Hello.- Good to see you.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28And you've got the van. Come on.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Have you got your running shoes on?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- I have.- I've always got my running shoes ready.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Here we go.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I think he'll need them today.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37We've got a lot of ground to cover.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Do you want to do odd numbers and I'll do evens?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Well, I'm odd, so I'll go with the odd numbers.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45All right. Good luck. I'll see you halfway through the day.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46- OK.- Take care.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Odds and evens, well, that's betting talk.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51So, who will collect more, I wonder?
0:05:51 > 0:05:52There's no-one in.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55There's no-one in.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57This isn't going well for me.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58This is very kind of you.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Surely they can't still be in bed...
0:05:59 > 0:06:02But Tim's intrigued by something streetside.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Shall I do that? Yeah, let's help. Let's work together.- It's just...
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Oh, wow! Beanie Babies. - ..Beanie Babies.- No, I like them.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Beanie Babies are stuffed toys filled with small, plastic pellets,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15and were a big toy fad in the 1990s.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16- Mums buy them, don't they? - Absolutely!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18If they're any use to you, you're welcome to them.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Exactly what we want to see.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21And I'm going to have to prise them off you.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I know it's your lovely collection there, but thank you so much.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- They will go to good homes.- I know they will go to good homes.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27They really will.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Some limited-edition Beanie Babies can make £30,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33but we might get 50p each for these.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35And next door has something for us, too.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37What have we got there?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Well, I don't know if it's any good,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- but my daughter left all this when she got married.- OK.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43It's all bits and pieces. Is that any good?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Okey-dokey. Well, I'm sure we could do something.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I think your daughter was a prefect.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Yes, she was.- Yeah, look at that.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52It's a box of odds and ends, which we'll sort out later.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55But Fay and Ilona are well-known on this street.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- And you know them?- Yes.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- So, how do you know them? - Oh, they're lovely.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00They're so good.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- They work so hard.- That's what we keep hearing.- Yeah.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- So, we want to do something for them.- Yes.- Thank you so much.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Oh, that's all right.- But you must keep it a secret.- Oh!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09We don't want them to know. It's going to be a big surprise.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Mum's the word.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Or, in my case...
0:07:14 > 0:07:15.."Not in."
0:07:16 > 0:07:17How's it been?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Well, I've done that house, that house, that house,
0:07:22 > 0:07:23that house, and that house.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I'd done five houses and I've got nothing.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I haven't even been in a house yet. I've got two lots.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Two lots of items already.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- I'm having a great start.- Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33I need some of your magic dust rubbing off.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- No, get off it!- Right, I'm going over there.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I'm going over here.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39And the magic dust seems to be working!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41There's more stuff on the street.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43That's good. Oh, this is brilliant.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45A box full of kids' books AND kids' toys.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46This is our first kids' stuff today.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50A bag of toys should bag us a couple of pounds from the toy stall,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53but there's someone here who wants to play.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Will you be able to come to the street party?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- Definitely.- Thank you, thank you.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Yeah, course he will.- Sorry, mate, no time to play.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02But Tim has, over at one of Fiona's neighbours.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I have got loads of motor cars.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- Really?- Yeah.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07You're talking to the right guy.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Tim specialises in toys and comics.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Look at those!
0:08:12 > 0:08:13This is quite a collection.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15And are you keeping the boxes for these?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Yes.- Good. Because there's the value.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Am I going to be able to get my hands on one of these, or...?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- What do you think?- I just don't display it any more.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- No? Is that all right?- Yeah. - Put it there.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27What a star! Thank you so much.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- That's all right.- That is really, really nice.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33It's made by Paul's Model Art, that make it to the finest detail.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's very, very sought-after.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39This German company has been making model cars since the 1920s.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41With that kind of pedigree,
0:08:41 > 0:08:45it could do well in the saleroom and hopefully achieve £20 plus.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Collectors are going to go absolutely crazy for this.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50This is a real find.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52- Thank you.- That's OK.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Lovely!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Yeah, my missus knows all about it.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Have you got anything you could donate towards our cause?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- It's a Brooks saddle.- Isn't that lovely?- A 1950s Brooks saddle.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08And these are fetching money now.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10It looks nice, doesn't it? It's quite sculptural.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Midlands firm Brooks started making bike saddles for Victorian bottoms
0:09:14 > 0:09:17in the 1880s and are still in production today.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Oh, fantastic! Thank you.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I know they're a sought-after leather saddle, aren't they?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25This really is a bicycle collector's piece,
0:09:25 > 0:09:26and should go to the saleroom.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29We might get £30 at least for it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32What else does Jez have up his eclectic sleeve?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34We've got this African sculpture.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36OK, we'll take that.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- And I don't know...- Do you know anything about it?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I presume it's Nigerian,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43but I don't know any further than that, really, about it.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- It's quite old.- 1920s? Bit earlier?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Probably a bit... I don't know. I really don't know.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51It looks '20s to me. It looks '20s, '30s.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Yeah, it's quite a piece, really.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56African wood sculptures can be tricky to judge.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59They were often made in large numbers just to export.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Best place for it might be on the arts-and-crafts stall.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Well, look, thank you so much.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07And that bike saddle has definitely given me an idea
0:10:07 > 0:10:08how to beat Tim today.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Hi, Tim! Yeah.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16No time to doodle, Tim, the challenge is on.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Hi, sir. How do you do?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Very well, thank you. There's a selection.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- I would certainly sort through them and give you several...- Yeah.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27..if that would be of any interest?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29REALLY interested in this.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Like Paul, over four million people play golf in the UK.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36A second-hand set of golf clubs should definitely sell on the stall.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39£1 a club is bargain.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- A bag which I no longer use. - A nice Hippo bag.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43If that would be of any use at all.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45If we could get some clubs to go in the bag,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47we could sell that on the day.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Yep.- That's exactly what we're after.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- OK.- I think Tim fancies himself as a golfer.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54- It doesn't work, Paul.- No?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Doesn't work.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Paul also donated some garden planters, too.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01They might make £20 each on the pop-up auction.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02You'd let us have those?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Have the strawberry pot and the wheelbarrow, yeah.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07This is exactly what we want. It's going to look fantastic.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Come here!
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Back on the street, I'm off for a cut and blow dry.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Unisex hairdressers.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Let's go in. Hi, everyone!
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Hello. Hi, hello.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Pleased to meet you.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Pleased to meet you. Hello!
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Come and see what I've got in my little garden out there.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Brilliant! A budgie cage.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27I don't know what it is.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31One bird cage without a bird will still sing for a couple of pounds.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Back on the street,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Tim's met Cath and Russ walking their dog.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38As keen Newport County football fans,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Tim might have bagged himself a footy shirt.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43That could be our star item.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44- Could we do that?- Go on, then.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- We'll give him one... - That would be amazing.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Thank you so much, guys.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Should someone tell him they live half a mile away?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Some straighteners.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- And a pack.- Look at this!
0:11:55 > 0:11:56- Oh, fantastic!- You're welcome.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Can I also say, "How about a free haircut?"
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Oh, go on, then. - Can you do that, please?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- I know, I know.- You don't know my sister's the boss.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- I've got to beg. I really have to beg.- You don't have to beg, honest.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08It's Debbie that would say, but I'll say yes.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Debbie?- Yes, certainly, you can.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Hairdresser Pauline has known both Ilona and Fay for years,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18and knows how selfless they are.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Fay, she looks after her mum, who is 95.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- Yeah.- She comes every week to have her hair done.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Ilona, she's been a real good carer for her husband.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Sadly, he had an accident and she really looks after him.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36After life-saving surgery, Andy was left paralysed,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39with only limited movement in his arms.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41But he still had Ilona.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43She's been my rock.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I wouldn't have been able to do half the things
0:12:47 > 0:12:50that I've done, without her.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52She's got to be tough, physically tough,
0:12:52 > 0:12:53mentally and emotionally tough.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58And I would think anybody who's a carer, full-time,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00for a partner in that circumstances
0:13:00 > 0:13:03has to put an awful lot of their own self to one side
0:13:03 > 0:13:07in order to really get the best out of the other party.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10You know, we have bad days and all the rest of it, and...
0:13:10 > 0:13:14But nothing really gets us down for very long, you know?
0:13:14 > 0:13:15She's my sister.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18And I do love her.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21She's very giving. Ilona isn't a quitter,
0:13:21 > 0:13:25no matter what life's thrown at her, wherever she's been.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27She just does not quit.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28I'm a positive person.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Even my blood is B-positive.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34So, let's be honest with you, I've got it running through my veins.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Fay is also a full-time carer.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39And her two children, Joe and Rose,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43know only too well how much time she gives looking after her mum.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Mum does everything for Grandma, everything.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Mum doesn't sleep very well because if she hears Grandma waking up,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51or something, Mum gets up with her.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54She'll get up three times a night or something like that,
0:13:54 > 0:13:55on a regular basis.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I have to be honest, it's...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01it's hard, it's stressful, it really is.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02I always used to say,
0:14:02 > 0:14:05I can leave her up to an hour, then I've got to get back to her.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Now, I don't like leaving her at all.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11She just needs someone to hold her hand and say, "It's OK.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15"We are here with you, and you are safe."
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Meanwhile, Tim's walked half a mile to pick up Cath and Russ'
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Newport County football top.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32This is exactly the sort of thing we want. We'll have great fun with it.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Someone's going to love this. Thank you.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35It's going to make some money.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Thank you so much. It's been great to meet you both.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39You've been so kind. It's been lovely.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- No problem at all. - And what's the dog's name here?
0:14:41 > 0:14:42- Buddy.- Oh, Buddy!
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I could have guessed that. I'd have said, "Hey, Buddy!"
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Today, I'm a Newport fan.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Well, we've certainly won on the sports stuff today.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53It's a local team, so that might score a fiver.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Across the village, another friend of Fay and Ilona's, Sue,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58also has things to donate.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Perhaps ask Malc if he could donate one of his fiery monsters?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Can we have one?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Sue's husband Malcolm has a mate who makes novelty log burners.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Perfect for the pop-up auction.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12And I know which one I want.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I'd love the red one, he's a little devil.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16That'll put a smile on people's faces.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19And it could make £40 at the pop-up auction,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21but what else does Sue have?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23What is that?!
0:15:23 > 0:15:25This is one of those things that you wobble on.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Have you wobbled on it?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28A couple of times, but now it's gone up here
0:15:28 > 0:15:30cos of all the building work.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31It'll come out again later.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32And you like to wobble, do you?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Well, Sue's not going to let her exercise machine go.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41But she's given us some books and they'll sell for 50p each,
0:15:41 > 0:15:42and a box of clothes.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45But I still have to ask hubby Malcolm
0:15:45 > 0:15:46if I can have the log burner.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Can we take the red devil one?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Of course you can.- He looks a lot of fun, doesn't he?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Can we have that?- He's very menacing, but...
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Oh, brilliant. Thank you very much.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- No problem at all.- Get dressed now.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57I will. I will. I'll go have a shower.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- All right.- I don't even like Frozen, but there we go.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03What a lovely couple!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05That was great. See, we got in the shed in the end.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Getting in there, that's key.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10And I've got into another one that belongs to Mark,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12who runs a local garage.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13This is a special donation.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It's through my business, yeah.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Oh, wow.- Unfortunately, we were going to scrap it, so...
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Why were you going to scrap it? Looks like it's immaculate.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22The person wanted a new, modified chair.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Well, we'll take it. We'll load the van up.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- I can give it to charity. - Fantastic! Thank you very much.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Mark bought a specially-adapted car
0:16:29 > 0:16:31which no longer met the owner's needs,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33and the wheelchair came with it.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36It's a bit specialist, so it might be better off at auction,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38but Mark isn't finished there.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40And the punchbag?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Punchbag.- OK. And a little sewing machine.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45There's a golf practice kit you can have.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47And the tent's in there?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50More sporting equipment, camping gear.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53We might have to set up a leisure stall at the street auction.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Just as well we have the chair, to load all this stuff in the van.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Now, what's Tim up to?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01You can have the stepper.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Look at that!
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Yeah, it works. It works. I think we can take that.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- That will be fantastic.- You can have that.- We can have that?
0:17:07 > 0:17:08OK. Fantastic.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11We could get a fiver for Robert's stepper, but Tim has spotted
0:17:11 > 0:17:13something else. Your ceramic elephant stool.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- No, you can't have it.- That's the one I wanted!
0:17:15 > 0:17:17It's my wife's, that is.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Is your wife here?- She is, yes.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Do you think I could speak to her? - You can speak to her, but...
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- Can I try it?- You can try it. - You'd give me no chance?
0:17:24 > 0:17:25Absolutely none whatsoever.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- OK. But I can try? - Of course you can.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29OK, right. Let's try. It's worth a pop.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33The ceramic elephant stool is a modern copy of stools made in the
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Far East, where the elephant is a symbol of good luck.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39But will Robert's wife, Jane, let us have it?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Which one?- The one in the garden.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I said you would not get rid of it.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44Yeah, go on.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Yeah. Give me a hug.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48As soon as I saw it, I had my eye on it.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I would love it, and we're doing it for such a great cause.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Yeah, OK.- Thank you so much.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56This could do £30, £40 at an auction, they often do.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57So many people want them.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59They're hard, sturdy ceramic.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01And people want to put them in their garden.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02They wear well.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04So, this is just the sort of thing we're going to be after,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07just the thing we want. I'm really pleased to get this on the van.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Well, that's something else to raise a glass to.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Luckily, I've found some.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Have they been in the shed or the attic?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15No, they've just been in an attic in a box.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17They are years old. But...
0:18:17 > 0:18:21They're kind of like, sort of...
0:18:21 > 0:18:23little retro glasses, aren't they?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Caroline's glasses are a modern transfer set but unused.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30And in the box, we'll hopefully get a fiver for them.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Can you keep a secret?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Not generally.- Yeah. - Not generally?- He can, he can.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Well, I'll tell you what. You go inside...
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Yes, he can.- I'm going inside. - ..and I'll tell you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42All right. OK. Do you know Fay?
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Whenever you see Fay,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46she's got a smile and she's just absolutely gorgeous.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47She really is a lovely lady.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52We are raising money to send them on a luxury weekend to London,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54to stay in a hotel and go to the theatre
0:18:54 > 0:18:56and out to a really posh restaurant.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Fantastic! That's a brilliant cause.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00So, now, you're helping towards it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Yeah, I'm more than chuffed.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Is there anything else you've got?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Um... Only the husband, really. But I don't know how much he'd get.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- No, and he can't keep a secret, so he's no use.- He can, he can.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14I'm not sure which stall we'd put Hubby on.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Don't want to call him bric-a-brac.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19The day's almost done, but we still need more stuff.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21It is extremely full.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I think that's a chest of drawers coming out of that attic.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31That's a nice piece. It's quite rare to find a small chest of drawers
0:19:31 > 0:19:34with just the two drawers. I've noticed a lot smaller houses,
0:19:34 > 0:19:35cottages in the area,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38that perhaps can't fit larger chests of drawers up the stairs.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40We could maybe upcycle that, give it a lick of paint.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42That would be really good for the day.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Can you help us out?- Yeah, yeah. - Whatever you've got, I'll take.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48We've got some stuff down in the garage.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- Great, let's have a look.- So, do you want to come...?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Oh, fantastic! I love that.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55This was called the Play School chair, in our house.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Oh, that's lovely!
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Because my brother used to sit on it and watch Play School.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Aw, that is so sweet.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- That's a lovely colour, as well, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Thank you.- That's all right. - Thank you very much.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07It's probably about 40 years old.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10That's about right. It's simple, it's honest.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Made of beech wood. It is machine-made, but it is lovely.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19And the fact that it's been in your family and it's been used and loved,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- somebody else can do the same. - Now someone else can do it.- Yeah.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23- Absolutely.- We can recycle it.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Never mind recycle, I reckon this could be upcycled
0:20:26 > 0:20:29to make even more money at our pop-up auction.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34A worthy donation to thank Ilona and Fay for starting the cafe.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37They're so selfless.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40You know, they'll just put everybody before their own needs.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41But they've just got this real passion.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44It's just been a really, really good venture.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48And something that's kind of brought the community together, really,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51and brought that feel back to Rogiet, like we are worth it.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I think, generally, in lots of the villages,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57the post offices have been lost.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00And that's been a huge loss, certainly to, you know, a lot of
0:21:00 > 0:21:02the generations that live in the village.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07And yeah. That would have been the last thread of community, really.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09This hall, I think it's a godsend to everybody.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10I love coming here.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14It's a great place for young and old to meet together.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16And I think often, people are isolated.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19You know, our own adults with learning disabilities,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22or elderly people that wouldn't get to see other people.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26So, everybody, from all walks of life, meet and mix that perhaps
0:21:26 > 0:21:28wouldn't have a chance to do so if it weren't here.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32You get to know more people, as well.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35That's what makes it happy, and more friendly.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Oh, absolutely gorgeous cakes!
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Absolutely lovely.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Both of them, Ilona and Mum, want all these people to be included.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Yeah, definitely. It's kind of...
0:21:45 > 0:21:50It's a place where you'll notice now if somebody's not there.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51People ask questions,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53and people would go in and check on each other now.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57It's weird that their release is still caring for people
0:21:57 > 0:22:01and looking after people, but I think that's just what they do.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- Mm-hm.- It's what they enjoy.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Right, now, this is where I lower my voice,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08because Fay lives in this house.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10I'm not going to point to it, it's right there.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Cos I think they're looking out the window.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16But I've got to go in there, talk to Fay, find out all about her,
0:22:16 > 0:22:17what makes her tick.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22Find out about Ilona as well, but without giving anything away,
0:22:22 > 0:22:26I'm also going to get her to donate to her own little reward,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29and she's not going to know anything about it.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31So, wish me luck.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32- Hello, I'm Fay.- Hi, Fay.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Pleased to meet you. Did you get a flyer through the door?- Yes.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- So, you know what this is all about? - Yes, absolutely.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40We're raising money for a really good cause here in the community.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Yeah.- Can you donate anything for our pop-up auction?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I'm not sure what I've got as far as for the auction,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47or anything like that, but I certainly can do cakes.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I help run the Rogiet community cafe.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Oh, brilliant!- So, we can do cakes.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53I see you like your china.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Mother's china.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Is your mum still alive?
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Yeah, she's 95.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- Oh, wow!- And, um, yes.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- She's been a bit of a collector? - Yes, just a bit.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Does she live with you?- Yes.- Do you look after your mother?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Yeah.- So, you're a full-time carer?
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Yeah. And my friend and I started up the community cafe in the village
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- because our last shop... - What's that?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Have you not heard about our community cafe, Paul?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Oh, my goodness!
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Is it the base we're using for our teas and coffees?- Yes, it is!
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- Oh, yeah, I have heard.- Thank you.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22And "we" is you and...?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24My friend, Ilona Watson.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Ilona. And you're both carers?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Both carers, both bake.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Maybe, could you and Ilona run the cake stand?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- We'd love to.- You know, teas, coffees, and things like that.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Yeah, we'd love to.- She's donating to her own event.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38But her next question puts me on the spot.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Can I ask you what the money is going towards?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Yeah, do you know, we haven't thought about that yet,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44until we know how much we've got.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Cos we don't want to start saying things, and then we haven't got
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- enough money.- Yeah.- What we're going to do is, at the end of the party,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52at the end of the auction, then we can decide how much we've got and
0:23:52 > 0:23:55what it's going to be for. I think that's the easiest way.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Absolutely. I agree with that totally.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Is that all right?- Yeah, of course.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01She asked what it was all about.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I didn't know what to say.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04I think we got away with it.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I think we did.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08And we've got her help on the day.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12And that day is fast approaching.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14So, let's get everything out of the van, and see what Tim and I
0:24:14 > 0:24:17have managed to collect.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19That's two very long lines.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22But I wonder if there's anything we can send over to the saleroom
0:24:22 > 0:24:23to make more money.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Right, Tim,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27it's the end of the day. You've got quite a good line there.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Yeah. I'm pretty pleased with myself.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- I love that. - I thought you'd like that.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35I do like that. That would be my little star, funky item.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Absolutely.- Look at the condition of this!
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Brand-new, is it? - Almost, yeah, almost.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42The wheelchair is definitely going to the saleroom,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44where it can reach a wider audience.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49It's in near perfect condition, so hopefully it will get over £50.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50- Model car?- My favourite.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- That looks quality. - I really like that.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57The model car Craig donated is a 2006 Bentley Azure.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59It's boxed, so perfect for the collectors.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Really good quality.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03High-level detail.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04With the box, isn't that nice?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- That's really nice. - Just had it on display.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- Good condition. - Just away in a cupboard.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Perfect for auction.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13That should reach £20 easily in the saleroom.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I like this one over here, actually.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- I like that.- This is a nice find. - I like that.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- What's that?- Brooks.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22I think we put this into the sale.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- That's got to go into the sale. - That's got to go in the saleroom,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26I think that's £50, £60.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Totally agree.- That's really, really nice.- Very nice. Good find.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Something I actually quite like...
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Would you put it into auction?
0:25:33 > 0:25:34A bit of fun here.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39Ceramic elephant stools were very popular in Victorian times,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42but this modern piece should still achieve £20.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45But there's a couple of pieces of furniture we can upcycle, too.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47We can give this a coat of paint.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Nice to just have the two drawers.- Yeah.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Lick of paint on that one. Good for a cottage,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- that can't get another one up the stairs.- Yeah.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Kids' bedroom. I think, funky colour, kids' bedroom.- That's it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57And we don't have to do much
0:25:57 > 0:26:00to upcycle Catherine's Play School chair either,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03just repaint the wood a bright new colour.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06And I think between us we have got,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10dare I say it, £400-500.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11You'd hope so, wouldn't you?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18It's the morning of the street auction
0:26:18 > 0:26:20and, boy, do we have a lot to do!
0:26:21 > 0:26:24The van's got to be unpacked,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26the stalls have to be set up,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28and a group of female helpers
0:26:28 > 0:26:31want some attention from Tim with their sashes.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32This is my best side.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Pat's going to be trouble, I think.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Bric-a-brac stall.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- It's not bric-a-brac, it's paper. - Oh, paper!
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- Paper.- Don't get us mixed up.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45You'll upset Marge.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I don't think Marge will get upset with Tim,
0:26:48 > 0:26:49quite the reverse.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51He's doing some pole dancing.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Well, if it helps raise a little more money,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I think I need to get the girls in line.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59This is the big day.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Hopefully, Fay and Ilona still don't know this is all for them.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Teas, coffees, cakes?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- Yes.- I've met you before, haven't I?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- It's...?- Fay.- Fay, hello.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Mandy.- Mandy.- Ilona.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11The cafe. Look at that!
0:27:11 > 0:27:12OK, that's great.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- So, we know where we're going for teas and coffees, OK.- We do.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16I think I got away with that.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18And what are you going to be doing for us today?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- I don't know.- He doesn't know.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Right, OK, Coral, what's he going to be doing? Come on.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25He's the general factotum.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26He's doing very well.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27- Is he?- Yeah.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29And I never opened my mouth, then.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31You didn't, did you?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34How did you do that? Have you got your hand up her jumper?
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Fingers crossed, everybody. Good luck, and enjoy yourself.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42And sell with a smile on your face.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- That's the secret.- We always do here in Rogiet.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46You do... Oh, well.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48There's always one, isn't there?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53I think we're going to have fun today.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55And we won't be short of cake either,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58as Mandy's got the community cafe stall ready to go.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- There's about an hour to go.- I know.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- OK? How are you feeling?- Fine.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06And how's it been, working with Fay and Ilona?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Oh, wonderful. They are good.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11And Mandy's also in the team.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12And keeping this a secret?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Oh, my goodness! That was the most difficult thing ever.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16- We haven't done it yet, have we?- No.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Let's face it. There's still the rest of the day to go.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- So, mum's the word.- I know.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24- And it is deserved.- They work so hard, they really do.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26You can't believe it, can you?
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Sounds like we're doing this for the right people.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31New donations are still arriving.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33We've even got a flower stall and, of course,
0:28:33 > 0:28:35there's always the bric-a-brac table.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38I've just been given this basket of goodies, or at least,
0:28:38 > 0:28:41I hope a basket of goodies, for today.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Look at that! A little ink well there.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46That's really nice. It's nice to be complete.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Usually, the lids perhaps can go missing or get broken.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51But they're a perfect example.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Ink wells fell out of use when the fountain pen,
0:28:54 > 0:28:58with its internal reservoir of ink, became more popular.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01I think it could do well in the pop-up auction.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05At least £30. There's also some un-marked china, too,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07we might get a couple of pounds for.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09This will be antique. So, I think,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11get this on the rostrum, get a lot number on it,
0:29:11 > 0:29:13and let's sell it at the street auction today.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Now, I've always liked this little pine wheelbarrow that Tim found.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21I was quite jealous of that.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25And I think, that looks around about £5 to £8 here.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27But I've got a good idea.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28Come with me!
0:29:28 > 0:29:31I've just thought of this, and I think it'll be a winner.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33I want to sell this on the rostrum.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36But, if we fill it full of flowers,
0:29:36 > 0:29:38I reckon I could get £30 or £40 for it.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Hello, ladies.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41- Hello.- Can you help me out?- I can.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Adding a few flowers will turn this wheelbarrow into an instant garden
0:29:45 > 0:29:49feature. But it's not the only thing that's been upscaled.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Remember that tired, brown, two-drawer sideboard?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Some boy, here in Rogiet,
0:29:54 > 0:29:57is going to love getting that back in their bedroom tonight,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00and if you remember when we took it out of the attic, it was done.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03No-one would have wanted it. Now, that could go in the saleroom.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07We spent a few extra pounds fitting these funky new handles,
0:30:07 > 0:30:10and I'm sure I can get £20 for that on the rostrum.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Then also, we've got a child's chair here,
0:30:12 > 0:30:16which we very simply added a bit of splash of red paint,
0:30:16 > 0:30:18nice bright, bold colour.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Wow, what a difference.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22With a lick of paint, Catherine's Play School chair
0:30:22 > 0:30:24certainly stands out.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27It's retro, it's fun, it's funky,
0:30:27 > 0:30:31and someone's going to want this in the corner of their bedroom tonight.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34That upcycled chair will definitely make a tenner, if not more,
0:30:34 > 0:30:37and my flower order's ready, too.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41You say 15. OK, I'm going to try and get £30 on the rostrum now.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- 15.- That's OK, that's pretty good.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Yes, OK.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Now, we're ready for a Street Auction.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Everything is now in place, lots of smiling faces.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Thank you so much and thank you, Tim.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59I am feeling really nervous.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01I'm nervous, I'm nervous, but fingers crossed,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04I think the power of the people could come together today.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06That's what it's all about today, it's going to be
0:31:06 > 0:31:08the community spirit that gets us through on this one.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10It's going to be close, as Tim says, but who knows?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Do you know, I think we can do it.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13Let's open the street party.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Give us a five.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19ALL: Five, four, three, two, one.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Yes!
0:31:24 > 0:31:29It's wonderful so many people have turned up for Fay and Ilona,
0:31:29 > 0:31:34but to reach our target of £700, we need to start selling.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I've been in your house, and you are quite right,
0:31:36 > 0:31:38I think £3 is a fair price for that.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40That'll look nice on the mantelpiece at yours, won't it?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- Three quid.- Three quid, it's a done deal.- Three quid, I'll have that.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- Is this your jewellery?- It is. - You've made all of this?- Mm-hm.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49How much would you normally charge for that?
0:31:49 > 0:31:51£4. Is that all?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53£4? Mm-hm.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Hey, you're underselling.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57£4! Look at that.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- What did you go for? - A little dragonfly.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Isn't that lovely? Fantastic, I love it. But don't stop there.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- No, we won't.- Keep going, lots more stalls.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05I've still got money in my pocket.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Good, good, I want that gone by the end of the day.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09- They'll be empty.- Good, good, I like that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12I think the buyers are working up an appetite.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- How's it going?- Fine.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Yeah? Lots of smiles, happy faces.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Gosh, half the cakes have already gone.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21This lot are a hungry lot.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24There's a wonderful community atmosphere here today,
0:32:24 > 0:32:28with every generation joining in, from the young...
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Don't tell anyone, I'll have a "buy one get one free" deal.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33We'll call it a pound for the two, is that OK?
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- Yes.- There you go, thanks for coming.- Thank you.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36Have a lovely day.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37..and the not so young.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Two, one, go.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42It's a good method, but...
0:32:44 > 0:32:47I tell you what, I'm not playing that any more!
0:32:47 > 0:32:52At the tea-and-cake stall, Fay still hasn't tweaked this whole event
0:32:52 > 0:32:55is for her, and neither has Ilona.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56Oh, wow, look at this!
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Oh, look, there's a few 20s in there! There's lots.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02Hey, do you know what, Madge?
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- We've done really well. - Couple of hundred quid.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Madge and Carol are doing Rogiet proud.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11But over at Pat's table, they've gone one better.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14- How's it going?- Very well.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- Look at all that money!- I know!
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Have you collected all that?
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- We've sold out. It's all been wonderful.- You've sold out?
0:33:22 > 0:33:23It's all gone. Yes.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- Wow.- We're doing very well.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Wow, that is brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Isn't this fantastic? - It's been incredible.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Just look at that, isn't that a great sight?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- It's so busy.- Yah.- Great turnout.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35Cakes nearly sold out,
0:33:35 > 0:33:38one bric-a-brac stall had nearly £200 in the tin,
0:33:38 > 0:33:40one stall's completely sold out,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42the flower stall's doing really well,
0:33:42 > 0:33:43face painting's doing really well.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Fingers crossed we're going to do that £700,
0:33:45 > 0:33:49- and we might just get a bit more. - I'm feeling really good.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53But only if we keep pushing.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Well, ladies and gentlemen,
0:33:56 > 0:34:00I've just been told there's ten more minutes to buy from the stalls
0:34:00 > 0:34:02before everything shuts down,
0:34:02 > 0:34:05so for the next ten minutes, everything is half price, OK?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07So, go out and spend some more money!
0:34:08 > 0:34:11In a moment, I'm going to start the pop-up auction,
0:34:11 > 0:34:15but don't forget we've also sent some items to the auction house.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18So, while the cash from the stalls is being counted,
0:34:18 > 0:34:21let's see if our lots can make some money over in the saleroom.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Toby Pinn is our auctioneer.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Selling that on £32...
0:34:26 > 0:34:29And we're starting with the wheelchair donated by Mark,
0:34:29 > 0:34:32which has an estimate of £50.
0:34:32 > 0:34:3430 to start, 30 I've got there at the back.
0:34:34 > 0:34:3535 here.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40£40, 45, £50, 55, 60 anywhere?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Selling on £55.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44HE TAPS GAVEL
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Great, £5 over estimate.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Next, it's Jez's 1950s leather bicycle saddle,
0:34:49 > 0:34:52which I could think could achieve £30 or more.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53We've got a classic there,
0:34:53 > 0:34:56vintage Brooks professional leather bicycle saddle.
0:34:56 > 0:35:0030 I'm bid, 32, 35, 38.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Are we all done?
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Selling, then, on £35.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Never say no to an extra fiver.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Next up, it's Daniel's model car.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Model Minichamps die-cast model of a Bentley Azure.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I'm hoping it could hit as high as £30.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16I've got £10 bid.
0:35:16 > 0:35:2012, 15, 18, 20,
0:35:20 > 0:35:2422, 25, 28, 30 anywhere?
0:35:24 > 0:35:2630 at the back. 32?
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Are we all done then? Selling to the gentleman at the back at £30.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31That's bang on the money.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Lastly, it's Robert and Jane's elephant garden stool,
0:35:34 > 0:35:38which has an estimate of £20-£30.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39And who's going to start me on this?
0:35:39 > 0:35:44£20 I'm bid, 22, 25 here, 28, now 30.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45Are you all done?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Selling, then, at £30.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53I think Nellie hit the right price, but the big question is,
0:35:53 > 0:35:56what does it mean for our target of £700?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58I'm pleased I bumped into you two,
0:35:58 > 0:36:01and I can let you know that the stuff we found rummaging earlier on,
0:36:01 > 0:36:04which we sent off to the local auction, we got £150 for.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Oh, brilliant.- OK, what have you managed to get today so far?
0:36:08 > 0:36:10On the stalls we have raised...
0:36:11 > 0:36:15..£1,038.69.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- That's amazing!- That's so good!
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Add the £150.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23With the auction we got £1188.69.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- That's fab.- That's incredible.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26That is people power.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29We have absolutely smashed our original target.
0:36:29 > 0:36:34Ilona and Fay can have the luxury weekend city break they so deserve.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39But is there anything we can do now to make their busy lives any easier
0:36:39 > 0:36:41running the community cafe?
0:36:41 > 0:36:43If we raise another couple of hundred quid,
0:36:43 > 0:36:44if I can do that on the rostrum,
0:36:44 > 0:36:47we've doubled our original target,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49which means we can put that extra money
0:36:49 > 0:36:51towards some equipment in the cafe.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- That would be amazing. Absolutely. - That would be so good.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Shall we do it?- I think we're going to do it.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57I think it's time I got on the rostrum.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00The people of Rogiet have done themselves proud so far,
0:37:00 > 0:37:04but now I need them to dig deep into their pockets one more time.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Let's start with lot number one, showing here,
0:37:07 > 0:37:10it's the red devil fire pit.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12How fabulous is that, OK?
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Fire pits are very fashionable at the moment,
0:37:14 > 0:37:16so I'm hoping we get at least £30.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20Who's going to start me off with a maiden bid of £20?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Yeah, two bids, straightaway, I'll take 20 and 22, 24, thank you,
0:37:23 > 0:37:25that's a nod of the head, 24.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28You're out? I'll take 25, round it up to 25 and it's yours.
0:37:28 > 0:37:3025, thank you, sir, in the purple.
0:37:30 > 0:37:3425, 28, £30, thank you, sir, £30,
0:37:34 > 0:37:35it's against you, 32 now.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Fair warning, it's... Oh, £35.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41That's what it's all about, this is for a good cause.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45£40. And it's go... Oh, 42, and I'm selling at £42,
0:37:45 > 0:37:47fair warning, it's going once,
0:37:47 > 0:37:49twice, sold.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51That was a really hot price.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Hopefully, the bright and funky upcycled chest of drawers
0:37:54 > 0:37:56will hit my target of £20.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58We've given it a new lease of life.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01It's called upcycling, but look at this chest of drawers.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07How about that? I'll take 22 anywhere?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Make no mistake, I'm selling at 20.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Sold, thank you, sir.
0:38:11 > 0:38:12So far, so good.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Will the revamped Play School chair attract the tenner plus
0:38:16 > 0:38:17I think it's worth?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Any further advances on £12?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Thank you, £14 with me now.
0:38:21 > 0:38:2316, I'll take 16, thank you.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29It's going once, twice, sold.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Thank you, £16.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34For a little bit of work, our two upcycled pieces of furniture
0:38:34 > 0:38:36have raised £36.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Well worth it.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42Up next is the wooden wheelbarrow pot I'm hoping to get £30 for.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43£30 is with you now.

0:38:48 > 0:38:52it's going once, twice, sold at £34.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56Adding flowers to make it garden display-ready definitely paid off,
0:38:56 > 0:38:58and we did the same with the terracotta pot.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Thank you. Late bidder, £16, right behind me.

0:39:18 > 0:39:19can I make that 30?

0:39:26 > 0:39:30But now it's our final item, the antique inkwell.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31It's complete, which is great,
0:39:31 > 0:39:35and I'm hoping we get at least £20 for it.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38I have an opening bid of £20, any further advances?
0:39:38 > 0:39:39A big wave, £25.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06even though they are totally unaware it's all been for them.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08But what have we raised?
0:40:08 > 0:40:11It's so lovely to see a sea of smiling faces.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15You know, without you this would not be possible.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18But I can now reveal how much we have made,
0:40:18 > 0:40:21and it amounts to a staggering

0:40:45 > 0:40:48they give up all their time and their energy,
0:40:48 > 0:40:51despite the fact that they have busy lives themselves
