Over the last seven years, bride-to-be Kay has been in a collecting frenzy. Every surface and room in her 400-year-old barn conversion is crammed with curios and collectibles. But fiancé Peter is desperate for Kay to say ‘yes’ to clearing out the mess.

With a dream honeymoon on the line, proceeds from the auction will fund the postnuptial trip. But will it be Bognor Regis or the Bahamas? Auctioneer Christina Trevanion plays a game of antiques bingo with owner Kay, who is reluctant for too much to go to auction. With collectibles from around the world on display inside this Hertfordshire home, Christina finds a Japanese cabinet, Chinese vases, Persian ewers and Indian pots.

A broken bear proves to be far from child’s play for restorer Robin Johnson, who struggles to reattach some thread to bring the toy back to life. He also resorts to surgery to resuscitate a three-legged table broken into several pieces. But will it stand up at auction? And in a bedroom, Christina finds an Italian woman in a risqué dress that both Peter and Kay want out of their house. How much will the seductive signora fetch at the Luton auction? Show less
