Charlie sells the worldly goods of two farming brothers retiring after 50 years.

Following the auctioneers at Thainstone Mart. A lunchtime crisis occurs. Charlie sells the worldly goods of two farming brothers retiring after 50 years.

Thainstone Mart is one of Europe's biggest livestock markets, and in this programme, a Shetland farmer is relying on Finley to get the cash he needs to feed his flock over the winter. There's a crisis in the kitchen when a deep fat fryer fails with lunch minutes away and 900 portions of potatoes required. And auctioneer Charlie sells all the worldly goods of two farming brothers retiring after 50 years, but their trusty tractor lets them down at a crucial moment.
