Christina and Will head to Shropshire to help a couple with a deeply emotional downsize.

Auctioneer Christina Trevanion and woodworking wizard Will Kirk head to Shropshire to help a couple with an emotional downsize. Mice make a welcome surprise at the pop-up auction.

Auction supremo Christina Trevanion and woodworking wizard Will Kirk point their little blue van to Shropshire. They’ve been called in to help couple Sue and Chris clear their house as they make the move of a lifetime. 

After a decade of grief following the tragic death of their teenage son Matthew in 2012, Sue and Chris have finally decided it’s time to move on. They’re swapping their rural surroundings for something sunnier down south. 

Christina and Will discover some amazing items, including a collection of pieces by the famed carpenter Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson, and they breathe life back into some neglected furniture. But Matthew’s old toys provide the biggest surprise at the pop-up auction by the Trent and Mersey canal, with online buyers from around the world joining in to bid big.
