The Travelling Auctioneers

Series 1

Episode 9

Duration: 43 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Northern Ireland HD

Will and Christina travel to Shropshire to meet Andrea and her son James. Andrea has MS and finds it difficult to negotiate her home in a motorised wheelchair. James has moved back in with his mum to care for her, but they’ve called in the Travelling Auctioneers to help them declutter their packed farmhouse.

Christina is confronted with a house and barn overflowing with things brought back from foreign travels, antiques collected over the years and piles of things stored for friends and family. Will restores some damaged furniture, which he hopes will make big money under the gavel. Andrea hopes the auction will raise much-needed cash to make the necessary wheelchair-friendly improvements and alterations to their home.

Will and Christina find plenty to restore and sell at the bespoke auction at Stafford Castle, including a fine ship’s bell, Andrea’s kitchen table and a Chinese vase that’s taller than Christina. Show less
