Shipping Container Haul

BBC One - The Travelling Auctioneers, Series 2, Shipping Container Haul

A pricey watch that time forgot is found, and JJ Chalmers saves a milk maid’s blushes.

Janine inherited two shipping containers filled by her antique collecting dad. What treasures hide within? Christina finds a gold watch and a silver owl to put under her gavel.

After Janine’s father died, two huge shipping containers packed full of his antiques and collectables arrived on her front lawn. Sorting through her late dad’s belongings proved to be too emotional, but she hopes there’s treasure within as her teenage son needs £3000 to pay for a trip to Italy to represent his country at an international sporting event. 

Janine’s husband, David, has just received a life-saving liver transplant and is unable to help sort through his father-in-law's varied collection of curios. However, auctioneer Christina Trevanion goes for gold and discovers a watch that time forgot. While it’s missing its hands, she’s convinced this rare timepiece is worth a small fortune. 

Back in the shipping containers, restorer JJ Chalmers escapes seven years of bad luck when he brings a mirror back to life. He also saves a milk maid’s blushes when he gets his tools on her stool. 

Christina the Conqueror lays siege to a castle on auction day, but will she make enough to send young Ryan to Italy for Team GB?
