BBC One - The Travelling Auctioneers, Series 1, Episode 6

Can Will and Christina find enough treasure to fund 88-year-old Pattie’s trip to Menorca?

Will and Christina visit 88-year-old Pattie. Widowed and forced to downsize, it’s time for her to declutter and enjoy a holiday with the proceeds of the pop-up auction.

Master furniture restorer Will Kirk and auctioneer Christina Trevanion are traversing the backroads of Britain in their blue van, helping members of the public declutter their homes and make money from their unwanted antiques.  

In Oxfordshire, they meet 88-year-old Pattie and her daughter Tricia. Forced to downsize after the unexpected death of her beloved husband Ray, Pattie has ended up with all the antiques they collected over the years moved in her new flat. She is hoping Will and Christina can help her declutter her home and raise enough money to visit her friends in Menorca for the first time in eight years.

Will shares a trade secret when restoring one item of furniture, and Christina uncovers an item she thinks will attract interest at auction. Will she be proved right when her pop-up rostrum pitches up at a museum in Worcestershire?
