BBC Two - Collectaholics, Series 2, Episode 2

The team meet two brothers with a collection of 700 cuckoo clocks.

Series exploring the weird and wonderful world of some of Britain's collectors. The team encounter a collection of 700 cuckoo clocks and a man fulfilling his childhood dreams.

In this episode, we meet the man who is fulfilling his childhood dreams. Dave collects toys from the 70s and 80s and loves to restore them and even modify them, usually a no-no in the toy-collecting world. Mark Hill is feeling nostalgic as he looks through the vast collection, but is there any value in his modifications? 

Brothers Roman and Maz have dedicated their lives to the cuckoo clock, but with no children to leave the collection to, Jasmine helps them decide what their options are as they are desperate to keep it together. Jasmine is speechless when she sees the collection - with 700 clocks, it's widely acknowledged to be the largest collection in the UK, if not the world. They have even taken a lease on an old school just to house them.

Artist husband and wife Molly and Rufus collect almost anything and they're the perfect match for each other. Mark and Jasmine visit their 1,000-square-foot studio that houses their extraordinary collections, from vintage clothes and ceramics to the 1950s and musical instruments. But is it all getting out of control? And have these collectors crossed the line and actually become hoarders?
