BBC One - The Travelling Auctioneers, Series 1, Episode 15

Christina and Will are in Buckinghamshire to find treasures and fix broken furniture.

Christina and Will help a mother and daughter sift through family heirlooms. Some jewellery is worth an unexpected sum, and Will saves furniture from going to landfill.

Christina Trevanion and Will Kirk head to Buckinghamshire to help a mother and daughter who are overrun with antiques and unwanted objects. The storage space in Sarah and Georgie’s house is full of items of stock left over from Sarah’s late father’s antiques business, and they don’t know what to do with it all. The task for the experts is to work out what it’s all worth, but they’ve got to find it first.

Auctioneer Christina finds a cache of very fine timepieces and learns about Sarah’s dad’s profession as a watch repairer. Meanwhile, restoration expert Will is on the hunt for items of furniture that need a little sprucing up and shares a restoration tip that sees him raiding the fridge. 

A very fancy chair needs some delicate specialist attention, and a collection of silver items with a nugget of gold hiding among them need careful inspection. A valuable collection of jewellery belonging to Sarah’s late mum might be harder to part with. 

Their travelling saleroom pops up on the riverbank in Oxford, an ideal spot for a punt in more ways than one. As well as helping to find homes for over 100 items, the aim of this auction is to raise funds for a family trip of a lifetime. But will any of the items going under the hammer float the bidders’ boats?
