Find It Fix It Flog It (2016-2022): Season 1, Episode 20 - Episode #1.20 - full transcript
Whoa. Look at this!
The homes of Britain are stacked
with old possessions.
There you go, look at that.
That's lovely.
What looks like junk can
actually be worth a pretty penny.
What could you use that for?
Never seen anything like that
in my life before.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien
are here to help turn that clutter
into hard cash.
We can get serious money for that.
£100,000? Yeah.
Upcycling genius Simon...
That looks cool.
...and his restorer
love turning everyday objects
into fantastic furniture...
Gemma, come on.
Absolute winner.
...whilst for Henry
and his mechanic...
That is stunning, Guy.
...it's all about restoring retro
relics and vintage classics.
She's off! It runs!
Despite their differences,
they always come good and they'll
turn a tidy profit for their owners.
In total you're going to put
in your pocket £10,630.
Absolutely brilliant.
Today, Henry's swapping petrol power
for pedal power...
I think these are very saleable.
...Simon's in for a nasty surprise...
Hold her!
...and there are high hopes
at the evaluation.
They've come out really nice.
Cross fingers,
that could be very valuable.
Henry, Henry, Henry, you are in
for a treat today.
You've said that to me on a number
of occasions.
Listen, listen, we are going to
visit probably
one of your relatives.
The boys are back on the road.
And this time they've come to the
south-west of England to Somerset.
Renowned for
its cider apple orchards,
Somerset is also famous
for the Cheddar caves,
where Cheddar cheese was
accidentally made 800 years ago.
We are steeped in royal history
around here.
Yeah. On our left-hand side is the
site of the battle of Sedgemoor,
where James, Duke of Monmouth, tried
to seize the crown from James II.
Failed. Very historic battle.
For today's first battle,
Simon's chosen the location.
We are going to see a man called
Sir Ben.
Oh, my word, that's a slight
departure, isn't it?
There you go. Yeah.
You see? You see?
Sir Benjamin.
It'll be like minds with you!
Sir Benjamin Slade is the owner
of a 13th-century manor
called Maunsel House
in north Somerset
which he shares with his partner,
Jane Blackmore.
His estate comprises of
outbuildings, barns and sheds,
overflowing with curiosities that
have lain hidden for centuries.
There's a lot of stuff here. Some of
it actually came up from Dorset
when we moved up here all those
hundreds of years ago,
so we've got junk going back
a long way.
He likes to hoard all his stuff,
don't you, Ben?
Only seven sheds full!
The house is currently used
as a wedding venue,
and so Benjamin hopes that any
profit made by Henry and Simon
will go towards a much-needed
upgrade of the catering equipment.
I think I'm going buy something
to roast hogs.
We want to do some more
of our roast hogs.
Oh, my word!
That is beautiful.
Sir Ben, how are you?
ALL TALK AT ONCE
Hi, how are you?
Welcome to Maunsel House.
Thank you so much.
How long has the family been here?
Well, coming up for 300 years.
But we're considered new
around here.
I mean, some of them have been
in the village since the Stone Age!
I'm sure after 300 years
there must be some bits and pieces
lying around.
Yes. If we can, we will then
pick two items each.
How does that sound?
I think it's a brilliant idea.
I wish you could take
some more of the junk away
because I need the money, actually.
Brilliant. Well, look, we're up
for it. It's lovely to see you,
and we'll be back later
with a few items hopefully.
OK. Brilliant. Fantastic.
Henry and Simon must find two items
each to fix up, then flog on,
to raise money for Sir Benjamin's
hog roaster.
Hello! Hello!
No, nothing in there.
Nothing in there, mate.
I know what that means.
What? There's a bit of agriculture
machinery in there, isn't there?
There's nothing. Open the door.
Ah, as I thought!
Well, it is a Massey 35.
We need to look at how many
cylinders it's got.
Now, there are four-cylinder ones
that don't start very well
and three-cylinder ones
that are very desirable.
One, two, three. Hang on, I'll just
be with you. Wait a second.
All right, so this is
a three-cylinder diesel,
which is excellent news.
With vintage tractor enthusiasts
willing to pay thousands
for a Massey like this,
it's a possible find,
if it is in good working order.
Clutch.
Gearbox.
CLICKING
Not bad!
Fantastic. OK, that's a possible.
Is it? Yeah, it is a possible.
First one and that's a possible?
It needs a lot of work,
so Henry will only go with it
if he can't find something better.
There's a door here. Come on.
Is that a small opening?
It's a small opening.
I'm in. Watch out.
Ooh!
Whoa there.
Oh, my word, Henry...
You know when you have a moment
when you find something
very, very special indeed?
'In the most unlikely part
of the estate,
'I found something that I can only
say is the most exciting thing'
I've found in a barn or a shed
for as long as I can remember.
It's a cupboard.
I think these might be Elizabethan.
What? I think these could be
500 or 600 years old.
I'm actually having palpitations.
I know, I can feel that.
The old wood panelling
could be Tudor
and date back as far as Henry V11
in 1485.
Over the years it's been used
as an old cabinet.
This is amazing.
But in recent years
it's been left to rot.
I guess this will be one of your
lots, then, will it?
I guess this is what you would call
a definite definite.
Definite.
So, Simon is definitely
off the mark!
And their search is moving on
to the farm buildings.
Oh, blimey look at that.
I have no idea what it is
but that's beautiful.
It's looking Chinese, isn't it?
Something like that.
Oh, look at that! Mate, that's got
my name on it, cos I love it.
Painted oriental chests such as this
one can sell for thousands
if they are from the right era
and in good condition.
This one is looking tired
and is missing its legs,
which seriously devalues it.
They're a funny thing, these,
the oriental stuff, isn't it?
You either find out
they're worth about £60
or you find out they're worth,
like, ten grand,
just depending on what period
they're from
and what the market's like
at the time.
But I tell you what,
I'd love to have a go with it.
I think it'd sit rather well
with my tractor.
It's kind of not fair, is it?
That's my kind of thing.
It hasn't got an engine.
It's not metal.
Actually, why did I let him
take that? That's ridiculous!
Chin up, Simon, you never know
what's behind your back!
Oh, I do like that. Wow.
It's a hay rickshaw.
Ah, yes, a hayrick... A hayrick!
Hay rickshaws were used
on farms to transport hay.
But this pocket-sized rickety
rickshaw has seen better days.
Do you know what? Yeah.
It's kind of all there, innit?
Yeah, but I mean, mate, I mean,
look, it was nice, once.
Simon thinks there is a market
for this
as a decorative garden feature.
You almost want to
lift these pieces off,
which are falling to bits
as we speak...
Which probably could be
quite easy to do. Yes.
And then you've just got
to repurpose the chassis
without it looking too fancy,
haven't you?
Yeah. Hang on,
am I right that could be
the base to my table?
Henry may have just fallen
on his feet.
Finding the original legs for
this oriental cabinet
will significantly increase
its value,
and with time running out,
it's decision time for Simon.
You take the tractor,
I'll take the hayrick.
Really? Yeah.
Go on, then, mate.
What have we done?
We're in a lot of trouble,
aren't we?
Sounds like the boys have a deal.
But what will Sir Benjamin
make of their haul?
Now, you may see that there are
only three items there... Hm.
...because the fourth item,
or the one for me,
is your Massey Ferguson tractor,
your 35.
Do you know when that last ran,
that tractor, or not?
Oh, it was running
the other week, wasn't it?
Oh, God!
How many times have I heard that?!
So it hasn't run for about 20 years.
I cannot say!
I am going to take a punt on that.
Now, also, I love that cabinet.
My great-grandfather was out there
in the Boxer Rebellion.
And that is possibly
where he brought it back.
It's got some history. Yeah.
I think I have two beautiful pieces.
Those two old panels, I think
they could even be Tudor.
How far wrong am I?
You're about right. Because
there's a Tudor design on them.
They came out of the stables,
which are Tudor.
We have a 1618 ceiling
in the coach house.
And that was all part of that.
That's my first choice
and my second choice is this lovely
gorgeous little model hayrick.
I think it could be
a gorgeous thing.
That used to be for moving the
plants around the garden
and we used to use it as a planter.
Brilliant. Fantastic. There we go!
It's been an absolute pleasure.
Pleasure to meet you.
Coming up... As restorations get
under way, Simon's in pieces.
Gemma, it's broken!
Don't laugh!
Henry's not pulling his punches.
Oh, look at that leg there.
That is mullered.
And at the second search,
Simon has murder in mind.
You will be exterminated!
Exterminate the Cole!
Upcyclers and restorers
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien
are on a crusade
to turn trash into cash.
I think these might be Elizabethan.
After grabbing two items
each from Sir Benjamin Slade,
the boys have returned to
start their restorations.
In Liverpool, Simon's revealing his
plans for the hayrick
in tudor oak panelling
to restorer Gemma.
Gemma, do you want the sublime
or the ridiculous?
Give me the ridiculous first.
Good place to start. Come with me.
Gemma Longworth runs an Arts and
Crafts business in the city.
With a keen eye for design, she is
the perfect sidekick for Simon.
Gemma and I work well as a team,
to a point.
Because we discuss things and then
she does what she
wants to do anyway!
But we love each other really.
It's like a love/hate relationship.
Oh, what's this?
It's a beautiful miniature hayrick.
It looks... like it's
going to fall apart.
Don't... Yes!
With a lot of TLC,
this will, again,
be a gorgeous garden ornament.
But don't touch it. OK, I won't.
Not a good start,
but there's always the panelling.
Wow! I think this could be
500, 600 years old.
To be fair, it does look it.
My thoughts are, let's just make
a very simple cupboard.
Yeah, we don't want to go over the
top with this, as we'll ruin it,
if it is of that age.
I do not want to put a single cut
into any of these panels.
No.
Having committed to two ambitious
woodworking projects,
Simon starts on the trickiest -
restoring the miniature hayrick.
Here's the thought process, the
wheels and the axles are good,
more or less, but what I want to do
is strip it back to just the base.
What I'm trying to avoid
is using new wood.
To keep the hayrick looking as
authentic as possible,
Simon wants to only
replace the wooden chassis.
It's so fragile, if I slip, the
whole thing will disintegrate.
But the job of dismantling it
is proving precarious,
to say the least.
Over there. Only this screw...
is now holding
the whole thing together.
Gemma, it's broken!
It was broken to begin with, Simon.
Now it's wrecked!
This main strut here,
that goes across
the ceiling mechanism,
is what you would call
absolutely knackered. Yeah!
As is the central spine.
But if I replace those two pieces...
...with new wood, and then put all
the old bits back on,
you shouldn't see the new wood.
What? Don't laugh!
The revival! It starts here.
In Oxfordshire, Henry has brought
restorer Guy
to a local tractor yard to
show him his two finds.
Well, mate. What do you have in
store for me here, is it a beauty?
It's not a exactly a beauty.
No. There it is, look.
Oh, my God, is that the best you
could do? That a shocker.
A mechanical mastermind, Guy shares
Henry's love for anything on wheels.
Me and Guy go way back, right,
to when we were 15.
Henry's passion is the same as mine,
it's motorcycles.
He likes riding them
and wrecking them,
I like fixing them for him.
He can fix almost anything,
but Henry's first find might even be
beyond his capabilities.
Now, I saw that in a barn.
I didn't get it out. Yep.
And now it's out...
that is awful.
But, done, is it quite a
desirable little tractor?
If that was fully mint restored,
between 6,000 and 8,000 quid.
OK. But, obviously,
there is a lot more
to do to it
than I initially thought. Yes.
The tractor
hasn't gone down well.
Perhaps the oriental chest will get
a better reception.
What do you reckon on that?
That's beautiful. The inside is
better than the outside.
Well, for obvious reasons, really.
Yeah. Yeah. OK, basically,
I have to admit to you,
I have brought back, potentially, a
couple of wrong 'uns, haven't I?
Well, we don't know yet.
Let's wait and see.
As the tractor needs
a major makeover,
it will need
an expert assessment
before Henry and guy
can start work on it.
So they are leaving it in the
capable hands of Patrick Edward,
the local classic tractor mechanic.
But his initial assessment
is not good.
The tractor, I would think, is a
tractor that's been put in a shed
20 or 30 years ago and basically
been robbed of bits
to keep other tractors
going for the last 30 years.
Not a great start.
But Patrick will have to get under
the bonnet
to see if this old Massey
is worth saving.
Back at the workshop,
Henry and Guy start working
on their antique Oriental cabinet.
What are we going to do, man?
Just clean it?
We are going to
straighten the hinge.
I think you should brush it and
hoover it out
and get the worst of
the dust off.
So what we are basically saying is
we shouldn't touch this?
I think you're right. I mean, what
are we going to do, paint it?
Clean it. Yeah. I mean, we're not
going to
paint it Cotswolds Green.
Oh, no, no, no.
Restoring the intricate and valuable
lacquered paintwork
is a specialist job. Doing it
themselves would only devalue it
in the eyes of the collectors.
So they're opting just
to clean it and polish it.
IF this is a priceless
Oriental cabinet,
it would be letter left
to an expert.
Look how light the green is
underneath the hinge.
Do you think it
was that colour originally?
Definitely a lot lighter.
Yeah, I prefer it this colour. Yeah.
Closer inspection reveals that the
cabinet has been knocked about a bit
during its centuries
of travel to Oxfordshire.
Look at that leg there,
that is mullered.
Might have been chipped off
by a Chinese emperor, though.
It could be, when he got a rage on.
It's looking beautiful.
In Liverpool, Simon has begun
reconstructing the hayrick.
So this is the central spine.
This is the new piece I'm going to
put on underneath
and hopefully hide it
with the old one.
That's the theory.
To create a rigid chassis,
Simon doubles up the wooden slats
and then screws the old ironwork
into place.
This is going to work.
With the chassis now finished,
Simon strengthens the rest of the
original structure
with a regular wood glue.
That...
Before reattaching the sides back
onto the base.
OK. That should now be...
...a solid hayrick again.
All that's left to do is to paint
it to disguise the new wood.
So, buoyed by his success, Simon
moves on to his other find,
the tudor oak panelling.
Goodbye, poo.
Henry and I have spent
a lot of time...
cleaning off bird excrement.
Simon needs
a wardrobe carcass built,
so the Tudor panels
can be used as doors.
So he's called in
carpenter Rob Byatt to help.
So, my thoughts are,
with your skill,
just get some fabulous oak boards...
OK. ..nice white boards, and just
almost frame these lovely pieces.
Yeah. Let's repurpose them.
Get them back to life. Cool.
Having decided to use the oak panels
as doors for
a custom-built wardrobe,
Rob gets to work.
Simon has opted for a high quality
kiln-dried oak,
which - whilst more expensive -
he hopes will produce
a high-quality finish
and more profit for Sir Benjamin.
What do you think?
It's coming together, isn't it?
Oh, yeah. We're getting there.
I'm liking the idea now.
Now I can see this,
the contrast against that,
when it's waxed up and it's
all chocolate brown.
It's brilliant.
In Oxfordshire, Guy has straightened
out the crooked hinge
with some careful hammering.
What do you reckon?
Mate, you've done really well there.
So well you should get a duster.
And all their antique cabinet needs
is a polish with furniture wax.
OK, mate, well, look, good.
That's as best as we can do, then.
Well done on the hinge.
At least the doors close.
That looks a lot better.
It looks a lot better, actually.
It looks ten times better than when
we got it covered in dust -
and it's now in a fit state for the
valuer to come and appraise it.
With restoration of Sir Benjamin's
items well underway,
it's Henry's turn to use
the next candidate for a clearout.
So he is bringing in Simon to meet
engineer and mechanic
Paul Kelling from Suffolk.
I've had this lock-up
for about five years.
I've just been accumulating gear
in there.
I've got about 80 motorcycles,
which my wife keeps telling me is
too many.
Paul's wife just hopes that the boys
might clear
her husband's cluttered lock-up.
But Paul plans that any money raised
will help him pursue
his passion for
buying more old bikes.
Good morning, Paul, how are you?
Hiya, very well, thanks.
Good, mate, lovely to see you.
This is Simon.
Hi, Simon. Now, tell me is there
anything we can't have in that shed?
There is one or two items in there
you can't have, but most of it,
I'm hoping that because you are
selling it for me, you can have it.
Come on, then.
Let the dog see the rabbit.
Let's have a look.
As always, Simon and Henry need
to pick out two items each
that they think
that they can restore
to make money.
Loads of vehicles with two wheels.
Yeah, mate. Happy days.
Come on!
I can already see, looking in here,
I have got my work cut out
to find anything.
You might need that.
Oh, I might...
THEY LAUGH
I can repurpose this!
Around my head!
Full of bikes, it doesn't take long
for something to catch
Henry's eye. But it's not the
bicycle that's exciting him,
it's the bolt-on engine
at the back.
It's a little mini moto,
in fact, it's called a power pack.
So you have a regular bicycle in the
'50s, you are peddling along,
and then with this handle,
you put this down,
on the wheel... And it engages.
...it engages,
and then you trundle along.
Power packs like this
are becoming rare,
and if still working can sell
for £500 to £600.
To me that is something that needs
to be restored.
It needs to be restored right now.
That is an amazing part of
automative history.
Henry's banked his first item,
the little bicycle engine.
Come on, then! Now we're laughing!
Now we've got to enjoy ourselves.
Come on!
Meanwhile, Simon seems to have taken
a shine to some pieces of metal.
DALEK VOICE:
You will be exterminated.
Exterminate the Cole,
exterminate the Cole.
It struck me there was a lot of
offcuts and interesting pieces
of stainless steel there.
I tell you what I have
in me mind.
I think I'm going to make...
Yeah?
A deer scarer.
What? A deer scarer is
a Japanese water feature,
traditionally made out of bamboo.
The device works
by collecting rainwater.
As it fills up... Yeah. ..it tips.
And as it tips, it makes a banging
noise and it scares the deer away.
It will be a challenge,
but I'm very excited about that.
Because if it turns out right,
it will be absolutely fantastic
and a one-off.
So, the lads have bagged
one item each.
And it looks like Simon has
hit his stride,
finding two pieces
of wooden furniture
amongst all the bikes and engines.
This is good wood.
That is quite funky, that.
This is just veneer.
That's more complete.
This is better quality.
The thing about the chest
of drawers,
it was never
a collector's item.
But it does have some nice lines.
As soon as I see nice lines,
I then know that Gemma
can weave her magic on it
and turn it into
a really nice, saleable piece.
So, Simon has found his second item,
leaving Henry looking for one more.
Check this out.
A butcher's bicycle.
Generally, I think these
are very saleable.
Oh, they are.
People use them for advertising,
they put them outside the cafe
and there you go.
Promotional vehicle.
I mean, it doesn't need too much
doing to it,
apart from it is
missing one major thing.
The basket? Absolutely. Yeah.
And with the butcher's bike bagged,
today's hunt is over.
Now, then, Paul.
You don't happen
to have the basket, do you?
No. It's a shame.
Good.
Your little power pack,
little bicycle there,
I want to take that away and make
you some money.
Am I OK to do that?
Yes. Marvellous.
I think that will sell well.
Good. All right.
Now, Simon is going to tell you what
he's going to do with a few poles.
I just thought, "Deer scarers."
Now, you know what I'm talking
about, don't you?
Yeah. I think you have
took the hard route!
Moving on, my second
item, that old cabinet.
Yeah, over the moon that you are
taking that.
Are you over the moon that
I'm taking those two as well, Paul?
Not quite so over the moon.
HENRY AND SIMON LAUGH
Coming up - wooden wonders...
Wow, Rob! Hi, Gemma.
This is brilliant. Good.
...tractor woes...
This main rear casting
is all broken through here.
...and at the first valuation,
Sir Benjamin is reunited
with his possessions.
Oh, I've been looking for that!
Upcycling experts Henry Cole and
Simon O'Brien are on a mission
to turn trash
into profitable pieces.
I think these are very saleable.
After both choosing their final
two items,
it's back to their respective
boltholes to begin work.
BELL RINGS
In Oxfordshire... Ey up!
...Henry's testing the butcher's bike
under the watchful eye of
restoration guru Guy.
It's all over... Does it stop?
There's no brakes!
Can you get off?
What do you reckon, man?
Do you know what? From 100 feet,
I could tell that this isn't
what it purports to be.
It's from either the Far East
or India or somewhere like that
and it's a copy
of an old English thing.
Basically, it's got reflectors
on it, so straightaway,
in this sunlight,
I saw them glinting
and that's just a dead giveaway
that it's not old.
The butcher's bike may be
a modern reproduction,
but Guy's convinced Henry's
other bike is the real deal.
If we can get it running and clean
it up and check everything works,
I think that's as far as we go. The
major issue with this is getting it
running and checking it's all safe
to ride. All right.
They're two nice items, actually.
Before tackling the power pack's
engine,
Guy notices that the rear mudguard
has snapped,
so he fashions a new bracket to
solve the problem.
As always, the plan of attack with
these sort of motors that have been
lying around for ages is,
first thing, get a spark.
If you've got a spark, assuming it's
happening at the right time, then,
if you add fuel, you should have
motion, hopefully,
or at least a running motor.
Despite finding a spark, the power
pack's engine still won't start.
But if anyone can get it working
again, it's Guy.
It's been sitting around.
The carb's going to have to come off
and be cleaned.
These things never run without
the carb being cleaned.
To remove the build-up of dirt and
grease that's clogging up the
carburettor, guy uses a brake and
clutch cleaner which is available in
auto centres for under a tenner.
And after fitting a dummy fuel tank,
it's time to see if he's managed to
get the power pack
back up and running.
Yes! It goes!
That's not bad.
That's better than I expected.
It never ceases to amaze me that
these decrepit old motors
that have been abandoned,
with a little bit of TLC,
you can get them fired up and running.
There we go.
Fantastic!
With the engine now working,
guy just needs to connect up the
original fuel tank and this old
power pack should make Paul Kelling
a healthy profit.
In Liverpool, Simon's revealing
his plans
for that collection of steel offcuts.
Simon, I'm trying to work out
exactly what this actually is.
Don't bother. It's lots and lots of
different bits of stainless steel.
Oh, so it's not one thing, then.
No, no. Simon's plan is to turn it
into a stainless steel deer-scarer.
So it's a garden feature, basically.
OK. But it will be, it's a
mechanical thing, as well.
His other item is much more up
Gemma's street.
I'm liking the look of this.
Oh, you see, as soon as I saw this,
I knew you'd like it.
Yes, I really like the shape of it,
although it is in pretty bad
condition, isn't it?
It is. It needs a really good clean.
A good sand down, some nice paint
on it, maybe some new handles.
This is my comfort zone.
I like this. You deal with that.
No problem. And I'll go and get the
pad and do some drawings for this.
OK. What have I done?
Simon's done a design for the
deer-scarer,
which Gemma's showing
to blacksmith Ian.
Hi, Gemma.
Hiya, Ian, you all right?
What we got today? Simon would
like to make a deer-scarer
out of them. Do you know what one
of them is?
I've got an idea. Yeah?
OK. Can you read that?
He's got some good sizes on there.
So he's got plenty of steel for you
to work with, but...
I mean, this is your speciality,
not mine.
OK, let's get them on the van.
All right. All right, thank you.
Ian's taking the steel to his smithy
where he'll weld the pipes together,
following Simon's design
for the deer scarer,
leaving Gemma to begin work on the
chest of drawers.
First, she applies an undercoat.
Then, to really revamp the chest of drawers,
Gemma's using a contemporary
putty-coloured paint.
This that I'm putting on
is just a satin wood paint,
so you can use this
on any interior wood.
And I'm putting it on with a roller
because it's easier to go on with
on big surfaces.
Looks better already!
In Oxfordshire, Guy's turning his
attention to servicing the butcher's
bike. I'm just trying to sort out
the rear wheel alignment.
It's a country mile out.
Meanwhile, Henry's been to the local
village in search of a basket.
Oh, no. Here comes trouble.
Looks lovely.
I've made a lock stop here,
so that it doesn't go round and
break all these rods.
I've replaced all the rods.
The brakes work. Wow!
So, lock stop,
so it doesn't do horrible things.
Hey, do you want the piece de
resistance? Yeah, go on. Stay there.
I was actually going to have a
wicker basket made,
but I was just passing a little shop
in Burford, just down the way,
and lo and behold,
basket person selling loads,
and actually, bingo,
there was one that I was sure was
the right size.
I told Guy I'd measured it.
I just winged it, basically.
That's... pretty good. What do you
mean, "pretty good"? That...
Yeah, all right, just squeeze it in
a little bit.
You've done quite well, there.
That's it, mate.
That's ready for sale.
It's lovely, isn't it?
In Liverpool, Gemma's decided to
dress up her chest of drawers,
so she wants to have a new
glass top made.
I thought the best and easiest way
to do it would be to draw around...
and then I know exactly what shape
and size I'm going to need.
Template finished,
she'll send it off to a glass cutter
to have the top made.
Next, she's adding a new set of handles.
So that's where we need to drill.
A cheap and effective way to refresh
the tired old chest of drawers.
There we go.
Simon's next job is to finish
his first set of finds
from Sir Benjamin's.
The idea was originally to keep it
kind of, you know...
The real antique wood.
But, as I got on with it,
I realised I was going to have to
add so many new pieces
that it started to look a bit of
a mishmash,
so I've decided on a nice mute
green will do it.
There are a few joints, as you can
see from the tape, still setting.
But this hayrick is no longer rickety.
Carpenter Rob is also putting
the finishing touches
to Simon's wardrobe,
made with the original Tudor panels.
Oh, wow, Rob!
Hello, Gemma. This is brilliant!
Good! It really sets off these
panels, doesn't it?
Yes, it's nice to re-use them, isn't
it? After all these years. Yeah.
In Oxfordshire, Henry and Guy are
also turning their attention to
getting their items ready
for the first valuation.
The Oriental cabinet has already
been cleaned up, but they're still
waiting to hear from Patrick about
the condition of Sir Ben's tractor.
So they have come to find out
what's going on.
Morning! Morning, Henry,
morning, Guy!
Morning! What's this - a new means
of transport?
Probably better than that one, mate.
At least it's running!
Which is more than we can say for this.
Come on, then. Tell me
what I overlooked.
This main rear casting
is all broken through here,
which will mean that, you know,
it's going to be a new casting,
cos you won't be able to repair
that. Not to be... That's a fortune,
isn't it?
That's going to be... A massive...
Yeah. Substantial.
Yes. You spend money on it,
you're going to spend more money on
it than what it's worth when it's
restored. He probably looked at it
in a very dark shed!
But all's not lost.
The tractor still has value
for spare parts.
Come on, then. If you were going to
buy this off me,
in this state of repair, which
obviously it ain't repair, how much?
750.
Oh, well, I have to tell you, mate,
that's better than I thought you
were going to say.
OK, mate, look, what I've got to do
is, I've got to go back to
Sir Benjamin and tell him that news.
And also offer him a bid of 750
for it, as a breaker.
Thanks, Patrick. With Patrick's
once-over costing Henry £50,
it's really not good news,
but at least there's 700 on the
table for Sir Benjamin.
But will there be more luck
with the other items?
It's time to find out
at the first valuation.
Simon's choice of salvage spot was
Sir Benjamin Slade's estate in
Somerset. Now Sir Benjamin and Jane
have arrived to inspect Henry and
Simon's restoration efforts
and to find out if they've make him
enough money
to purchase a new hog roaster
for his wedding business.
Have a wander round.
Have a look.
This one's come up a little bit better.
Oh, I've been looking for that.
I had to buy another one the other
day!
THEY LAUGH
So, Sir Ben, Jane... You can see
what we've been up to.
What do you think?
The panels look good.
Yeah. They do. They've come up
really nice.
Cross fingers, that could be very valuable.
Shall we find out?
Yeah, let's do that.
Because, with us,
we have our valuer, Adam.
Auctioneer of 20 years,
Adam Partridge can accurately value
almost anything.
Yeah, come on, Adam. Be nice to us
today, mate.
Well, what an array of objects we've
have got here, gentlemen.
Let's start with the tudor panels.
Simon spent £180 on new oak to
re-purpose the tudor panels into a
wardrobe. But the contrast of old
and new isn't to everyone's taste.
I have to admire your creativity,
I suppose,
in making them into an object,
because they were simply
redundant panels,
but, in my view, it's not the most
commercial thing,
and I'm going to have to go with a
value of, I suppose, £200?
I think you're going to struggle to
get more for it.
A disappointing start for Simon.
His efforts to showcase the
500-year-old panels
have fallen flat,
with just £20 profit made
for Sir Benjamin.
Let's move on to the hayrick.
Yes, let's.
Right, right, go on. I think the
hayrick is charming,
and you've done a lovely job in
preserving that and making it into a
serviceable and functional item,
which presumably it wasn't before.
Simon's second item, the restored
miniature hayrick.
Using offcuts of wood and spare
paint, this job didn't cost a thing.
I can see that in a garden centre, or...
(Told ya!)
...decorating a number of places.
And I'm sure that must be £75 worth
of anyone's money.
The hayrick has made Sir Benjamin
a profit of £75.
So, Sir Benjamin, this is the deal
with the tractor.
Basically, I messed up,
because I didn't see that the rear
top linkage was sheared.
Was your original impression, Henry,
this is a rare tractor,
quite excited it might be worth
two or three grand,
and then on inspection you find the
various faults and things like that?
In short, Patrick's offered me
700 quid for it.
Cash.
But that's £700 that perhaps
you wouldn't have had
cos it would have just sort of
rotted in the barn.
So it's not all bad news.
Henry's offer will at least add
a further £700 to Sir Benjamin's
total.
Now, Adam, the cabinet.
Please come good on this.
Well, it's a Japanese lacquered cabinet.
The condition's not too bad.
I notice we've got a few chips
off the feet.
And I think you've done well not to
paint it... Good, OK.
...or do anything to it.
Careful to keep the original lacquer intact,
Henry opted for a gentle clean-up
which didn't cost him
a single penny.
It's sadly not as valuable as you
might think on initial impressions.
Well, there's a great fashion for
all things Oriental at the moment,
but more so the Chinese works of art
than the Japanese lacquered wares.
I would have thought, if you put
that in auction,
a sensible estimate might be £300.
So the Oriental Cabinet nets
Sir Benjamin £300
to complete this round of valuations.
That means, right now, Sir Benjamin,
if you choose to take it, the cash equivalent
of what we have in front of us,
£1,095.
Better than things just languishing,
just sitting there doing nothing.
Well, I can't get a hog roast
for that.
But it will go TOWARDS the hog roast.
Yeah, I'll have to get it on the HP.
It may not have gone as well as
Sir Benjamin had hoped,
but if he accepts the offer
on the tractor,
the lads will have managed to make
him a total profit of £1,095.
A fun day, and with the money
raised, we can just about get home.
We'll have to celebrate in the
motor service station or something,
and that's about it, really.
Have a coffee?!
Coming up, Simon's nerves are
finally shot.
Oh, what was that?
Henry's told to "get on your bike".
300 quid. 300?!
You ARE joking?
And at the final valuation,
the boys rise from the ashes.
That's a good example of upcycling
an item that was destined
for the bonfire.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien are
restoring and up-cycling
people's clutter
into desirable new items,
in the hope to turn a profit
for their owners.
This is brilliant! Good.
Simon's choice of location raised
£1,095 for Sir Benjamin Slade
and partner Jane Blackmore.
Better than things just languishing,
just sitting there doing nothing.
So Henry is under pressure
to do better for his choice -
mechanic and engineer
Paul Kelling from Suffolk.
Come on then, talk to me.
And he's hoping his two bikes
will do just that.
I made a bracket there, I had to
adjust the height of the motor for
friction on the rear tyre,
it was too low,
you couldn't peddle it at all.
Guy's given the
original 1950s bicycle
a complete mechanical overhaul too.
Have you ridden it? Does it go?
It goes and I've had a little pootle
around here on it,
but I want you to take it
up the road. All right.
All it needs is a little legwork
to get the engine sparked into life.
Full power. Go on, son. Go on, mate!
Things are happening.
It's on! I can't stop.
And then let the little motor
take the strain.
HE LAUGHS
This thing just proves you can have
much more fun at 20mph
than you can at 140 on a racetrack,
in my view.
In Liverpool, Ian the blacksmith
has been busy transforming
the scraps of stainless steel
into Simon's one-off designer
deer-scarer.
But will the finished design
be what Simon imagined?
You're a good man, Ian.
So I'm a little deer over here
going, "Nom, nom, oh, nice,
"someone's lovely flowers
that they've spent years and months
"planting and looking after,
they taste nice.
"Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
"Ooh, yum, yum, yum.
METAL CLANKS
"Oh, what was that?!"
Let's hope the deer-scarer's
potential value
doesn't give Simon a similar fright.
Gemma is trying to add value
to the shabby old chest of drawers
and she's got one final trick
up her sleeve.
Now, for the last stage,
I'm going to make
this poor old thing
try and look a little bit
more special.
With a bit of decoupage.
I've found some lovely
old wallpaper,
which I've cut up into pieces and
I'm going to cover the top.
Cover up all that damaged wood.
Finally, Gemma adds a coat
of varnish to seal
and protect her masterpiece.
Hello.
That piece of glass on top
finishes that off.
Lovely. A nice touch, Gem,
a really nice touch.
And Henry's equally happy.
He's been called by the cheese shop
in Burford
who are interested in
buying the butcher's bike.
What do you reckon?
Absolutely fantastic.
£300. 300?
You are joking? I'll give you 200.
No, I'm sticking with 300.
Really? I think it's worth 300.
I should've said 350,
but at the same time,
I just want to do the deal.
Hmm...
250? No.
I really need 300 for it.
Really? Oh, all right then.
I feel bad for you.
HE LAUGHS
Is it that easy?
Go on, then.
A result, but will the valuer
agree with Henry's deal?
It's time to find out
at the final valuation.
Henry chose engineer Paul Kelling's
place in Suffolk.
As ever,
the boys took two items each.
Now he's here to find out
what's been done to his property
and more importantly,
will they raise enough cash
for a few more bikes?
So, look, feast your eyes, dear boy.
That looks a lot better
than when it left mine.
It's good, isn't it?
It was, I think the technical term,
is it was knackered. Wasn't it?
It was. I know the feeling!
Have we made you any money,
that's the key, Paul?
Auctioneer Adam Partridge is back
to value the latest collection
of restorations.
Hi, Adam. Hey, Adam. What about that
lovely chest of drawers behind you?
Let's start with that, shall we?
Well, that's a good example
of up-cycling an item
that was destined for the bonfire.
Giving the tired old
chest of drawers
a contemporary makeover
has cost just £35.
There will be some people that like
it and I would have thought that
person, when we find them,
would give us £70 or so for it.
That's not bad. That's all right.
I'd be well happy with 70 quid
for that. Good lad! Would you, mate?
The chest of drawers has pulled in
a £35 profit for Paul.
OK, moving on.
Stainless steel, 21st-century
deer-scarer-water-feature-sculpture.
Value that, if you dare.
I've been asked to value
some strange things,
but I'm not sure if anything has
been quite as quirky as this one.
Simon spent £125 repurposing
a random assortment of steel
into a one-of-a-kind deer-scarer.
METAL CLANKS
Well, it's not the easiest thing
to value, this,
because you'll never find another.
I think £150 would be a fair price
and you never know,
you might find someone that could
give you a little bit more,
but I'm going to go with £150.
After deducting blacksmith's costs,
that leaves Paul with just
a profit of £25.
Adam, can we talk motorcycles
or things that are relatively close
to being a motorcycle?
I like this object a lot.
It's a post-war pedal bike
with a power pack on the back.
A lot made, perhaps,
of the power packs,
but not many survive to this day.
Guy's expertise was all
that was needed
to get the power pack back to life.
I would say 550
would be a decent price to expect
for one of those in that condition.
So it's a total of £550
in pure profit
for the power pack and bicycle.
Moving on, come on, what about
the butcher's bicycle bicycle?
The butcher's bike,
I think it works really well.
Clearly, it doesn't appear
to be a period example.
I think it's a copy.
A reproduction, fair to say.
It is a copy, yeah.
Henry's only expenditure on the
butcher's bike was the new basket,
which cost £60.
These are very popular,
mainly for advertising reasons,
as I'm sure you've all seen them,
outside various shops.
I'd have thought
you should get...
...£250 for it.
OK, well, look,
I have sold it for £300.
Henry's savvy sale has secured
Paul another £240.
So, look, Paul, I'm sure you'd
like to know the grand total
of the wedge,
the cash that we've got for you.
And that is 850 quid.
Pleased with that. I'm glad
you're thrilled with it, mate,
because that makes all the hard work
worthwhile. Cheers, Paul.
No problem. Thank you so much, mate.
Happy days, good.
Thanks to the lads' efforts,
Paul is walking away with a total
of £850.
Really pleased with the valuation.
The stuff had been up the barn
for ages, weren't being used,
and to turn it into some cash...
and the evaluation
was spot-on the money.
Henry's choice made more than £800,
but it's Simon who's
today's victor.
His selection,
a 2,000-acre estate in Somerset
made Sir Benjamin Slade £1,095.
Mixed feelings about today.
But, you know what,
finished on a high.
Yes, well, we did.
I mean, Paul's well happy, isn't he?
Yeah, absolutely. 850 quid,
that must mean that I've won.
Well, actually,
you've just cheered me up. Why?
Well, OK, Sir Benjamin,
I feel he was a bit disappointed
with how things went,
but he still made £1,095
and if you do the maths,
that means that I have won again.
IMITATES HIM: "I've won again."
SIMON CHUCKLES
Subtitles by Ericsson
The homes of Britain are stacked
with old possessions.
There you go, look at that.
That's lovely.
What looks like junk can
actually be worth a pretty penny.
What could you use that for?
Never seen anything like that
in my life before.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien
are here to help turn that clutter
into hard cash.
We can get serious money for that.
£100,000? Yeah.
Upcycling genius Simon...
That looks cool.
...and his restorer
love turning everyday objects
into fantastic furniture...
Gemma, come on.
Absolute winner.
...whilst for Henry
and his mechanic...
That is stunning, Guy.
...it's all about restoring retro
relics and vintage classics.
She's off! It runs!
Despite their differences,
they always come good and they'll
turn a tidy profit for their owners.
In total you're going to put
in your pocket £10,630.
Absolutely brilliant.
Today, Henry's swapping petrol power
for pedal power...
I think these are very saleable.
...Simon's in for a nasty surprise...
Hold her!
...and there are high hopes
at the evaluation.
They've come out really nice.
Cross fingers,
that could be very valuable.
Henry, Henry, Henry, you are in
for a treat today.
You've said that to me on a number
of occasions.
Listen, listen, we are going to
visit probably
one of your relatives.
The boys are back on the road.
And this time they've come to the
south-west of England to Somerset.
Renowned for
its cider apple orchards,
Somerset is also famous
for the Cheddar caves,
where Cheddar cheese was
accidentally made 800 years ago.
We are steeped in royal history
around here.
Yeah. On our left-hand side is the
site of the battle of Sedgemoor,
where James, Duke of Monmouth, tried
to seize the crown from James II.
Failed. Very historic battle.
For today's first battle,
Simon's chosen the location.
We are going to see a man called
Sir Ben.
Oh, my word, that's a slight
departure, isn't it?
There you go. Yeah.
You see? You see?
Sir Benjamin.
It'll be like minds with you!
Sir Benjamin Slade is the owner
of a 13th-century manor
called Maunsel House
in north Somerset
which he shares with his partner,
Jane Blackmore.
His estate comprises of
outbuildings, barns and sheds,
overflowing with curiosities that
have lain hidden for centuries.
There's a lot of stuff here. Some of
it actually came up from Dorset
when we moved up here all those
hundreds of years ago,
so we've got junk going back
a long way.
He likes to hoard all his stuff,
don't you, Ben?
Only seven sheds full!
The house is currently used
as a wedding venue,
and so Benjamin hopes that any
profit made by Henry and Simon
will go towards a much-needed
upgrade of the catering equipment.
I think I'm going buy something
to roast hogs.
We want to do some more
of our roast hogs.
Oh, my word!
That is beautiful.
Sir Ben, how are you?
ALL TALK AT ONCE
Hi, how are you?
Welcome to Maunsel House.
Thank you so much.
How long has the family been here?
Well, coming up for 300 years.
But we're considered new
around here.
I mean, some of them have been
in the village since the Stone Age!
I'm sure after 300 years
there must be some bits and pieces
lying around.
Yes. If we can, we will then
pick two items each.
How does that sound?
I think it's a brilliant idea.
I wish you could take
some more of the junk away
because I need the money, actually.
Brilliant. Well, look, we're up
for it. It's lovely to see you,
and we'll be back later
with a few items hopefully.
OK. Brilliant. Fantastic.
Henry and Simon must find two items
each to fix up, then flog on,
to raise money for Sir Benjamin's
hog roaster.
Hello! Hello!
No, nothing in there.
Nothing in there, mate.
I know what that means.
What? There's a bit of agriculture
machinery in there, isn't there?
There's nothing. Open the door.
Ah, as I thought!
Well, it is a Massey 35.
We need to look at how many
cylinders it's got.
Now, there are four-cylinder ones
that don't start very well
and three-cylinder ones
that are very desirable.
One, two, three. Hang on, I'll just
be with you. Wait a second.
All right, so this is
a three-cylinder diesel,
which is excellent news.
With vintage tractor enthusiasts
willing to pay thousands
for a Massey like this,
it's a possible find,
if it is in good working order.
Clutch.
Gearbox.
CLICKING
Not bad!
Fantastic. OK, that's a possible.
Is it? Yeah, it is a possible.
First one and that's a possible?
It needs a lot of work,
so Henry will only go with it
if he can't find something better.
There's a door here. Come on.
Is that a small opening?
It's a small opening.
I'm in. Watch out.
Ooh!
Whoa there.
Oh, my word, Henry...
You know when you have a moment
when you find something
very, very special indeed?
'In the most unlikely part
of the estate,
'I found something that I can only
say is the most exciting thing'
I've found in a barn or a shed
for as long as I can remember.
It's a cupboard.
I think these might be Elizabethan.
What? I think these could be
500 or 600 years old.
I'm actually having palpitations.
I know, I can feel that.
The old wood panelling
could be Tudor
and date back as far as Henry V11
in 1485.
Over the years it's been used
as an old cabinet.
This is amazing.
But in recent years
it's been left to rot.
I guess this will be one of your
lots, then, will it?
I guess this is what you would call
a definite definite.
Definite.
So, Simon is definitely
off the mark!
And their search is moving on
to the farm buildings.
Oh, blimey look at that.
I have no idea what it is
but that's beautiful.
It's looking Chinese, isn't it?
Something like that.
Oh, look at that! Mate, that's got
my name on it, cos I love it.
Painted oriental chests such as this
one can sell for thousands
if they are from the right era
and in good condition.
This one is looking tired
and is missing its legs,
which seriously devalues it.
They're a funny thing, these,
the oriental stuff, isn't it?
You either find out
they're worth about £60
or you find out they're worth,
like, ten grand,
just depending on what period
they're from
and what the market's like
at the time.
But I tell you what,
I'd love to have a go with it.
I think it'd sit rather well
with my tractor.
It's kind of not fair, is it?
That's my kind of thing.
It hasn't got an engine.
It's not metal.
Actually, why did I let him
take that? That's ridiculous!
Chin up, Simon, you never know
what's behind your back!
Oh, I do like that. Wow.
It's a hay rickshaw.
Ah, yes, a hayrick... A hayrick!
Hay rickshaws were used
on farms to transport hay.
But this pocket-sized rickety
rickshaw has seen better days.
Do you know what? Yeah.
It's kind of all there, innit?
Yeah, but I mean, mate, I mean,
look, it was nice, once.
Simon thinks there is a market
for this
as a decorative garden feature.
You almost want to
lift these pieces off,
which are falling to bits
as we speak...
Which probably could be
quite easy to do. Yes.
And then you've just got
to repurpose the chassis
without it looking too fancy,
haven't you?
Yeah. Hang on,
am I right that could be
the base to my table?
Henry may have just fallen
on his feet.
Finding the original legs for
this oriental cabinet
will significantly increase
its value,
and with time running out,
it's decision time for Simon.
You take the tractor,
I'll take the hayrick.
Really? Yeah.
Go on, then, mate.
What have we done?
We're in a lot of trouble,
aren't we?
Sounds like the boys have a deal.
But what will Sir Benjamin
make of their haul?
Now, you may see that there are
only three items there... Hm.
...because the fourth item,
or the one for me,
is your Massey Ferguson tractor,
your 35.
Do you know when that last ran,
that tractor, or not?
Oh, it was running
the other week, wasn't it?
Oh, God!
How many times have I heard that?!
So it hasn't run for about 20 years.
I cannot say!
I am going to take a punt on that.
Now, also, I love that cabinet.
My great-grandfather was out there
in the Boxer Rebellion.
And that is possibly
where he brought it back.
It's got some history. Yeah.
I think I have two beautiful pieces.
Those two old panels, I think
they could even be Tudor.
How far wrong am I?
You're about right. Because
there's a Tudor design on them.
They came out of the stables,
which are Tudor.
We have a 1618 ceiling
in the coach house.
And that was all part of that.
That's my first choice
and my second choice is this lovely
gorgeous little model hayrick.
I think it could be
a gorgeous thing.
That used to be for moving the
plants around the garden
and we used to use it as a planter.
Brilliant. Fantastic. There we go!
It's been an absolute pleasure.
Pleasure to meet you.
Coming up... As restorations get
under way, Simon's in pieces.
Gemma, it's broken!
Don't laugh!
Henry's not pulling his punches.
Oh, look at that leg there.
That is mullered.
And at the second search,
Simon has murder in mind.
You will be exterminated!
Exterminate the Cole!
Upcyclers and restorers
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien
are on a crusade
to turn trash into cash.
I think these might be Elizabethan.
After grabbing two items
each from Sir Benjamin Slade,
the boys have returned to
start their restorations.
In Liverpool, Simon's revealing his
plans for the hayrick
in tudor oak panelling
to restorer Gemma.
Gemma, do you want the sublime
or the ridiculous?
Give me the ridiculous first.
Good place to start. Come with me.
Gemma Longworth runs an Arts and
Crafts business in the city.
With a keen eye for design, she is
the perfect sidekick for Simon.
Gemma and I work well as a team,
to a point.
Because we discuss things and then
she does what she
wants to do anyway!
But we love each other really.
It's like a love/hate relationship.
Oh, what's this?
It's a beautiful miniature hayrick.
It looks... like it's
going to fall apart.
Don't... Yes!
With a lot of TLC,
this will, again,
be a gorgeous garden ornament.
But don't touch it. OK, I won't.
Not a good start,
but there's always the panelling.
Wow! I think this could be
500, 600 years old.
To be fair, it does look it.
My thoughts are, let's just make
a very simple cupboard.
Yeah, we don't want to go over the
top with this, as we'll ruin it,
if it is of that age.
I do not want to put a single cut
into any of these panels.
No.
Having committed to two ambitious
woodworking projects,
Simon starts on the trickiest -
restoring the miniature hayrick.
Here's the thought process, the
wheels and the axles are good,
more or less, but what I want to do
is strip it back to just the base.
What I'm trying to avoid
is using new wood.
To keep the hayrick looking as
authentic as possible,
Simon wants to only
replace the wooden chassis.
It's so fragile, if I slip, the
whole thing will disintegrate.
But the job of dismantling it
is proving precarious,
to say the least.
Over there. Only this screw...
is now holding
the whole thing together.
Gemma, it's broken!
It was broken to begin with, Simon.
Now it's wrecked!
This main strut here,
that goes across
the ceiling mechanism,
is what you would call
absolutely knackered. Yeah!
As is the central spine.
But if I replace those two pieces...
...with new wood, and then put all
the old bits back on,
you shouldn't see the new wood.
What? Don't laugh!
The revival! It starts here.
In Oxfordshire, Henry has brought
restorer Guy
to a local tractor yard to
show him his two finds.
Well, mate. What do you have in
store for me here, is it a beauty?
It's not a exactly a beauty.
No. There it is, look.
Oh, my God, is that the best you
could do? That a shocker.
A mechanical mastermind, Guy shares
Henry's love for anything on wheels.
Me and Guy go way back, right,
to when we were 15.
Henry's passion is the same as mine,
it's motorcycles.
He likes riding them
and wrecking them,
I like fixing them for him.
He can fix almost anything,
but Henry's first find might even be
beyond his capabilities.
Now, I saw that in a barn.
I didn't get it out. Yep.
And now it's out...
that is awful.
But, done, is it quite a
desirable little tractor?
If that was fully mint restored,
between 6,000 and 8,000 quid.
OK. But, obviously,
there is a lot more
to do to it
than I initially thought. Yes.
The tractor
hasn't gone down well.
Perhaps the oriental chest will get
a better reception.
What do you reckon on that?
That's beautiful. The inside is
better than the outside.
Well, for obvious reasons, really.
Yeah. Yeah. OK, basically,
I have to admit to you,
I have brought back, potentially, a
couple of wrong 'uns, haven't I?
Well, we don't know yet.
Let's wait and see.
As the tractor needs
a major makeover,
it will need
an expert assessment
before Henry and guy
can start work on it.
So they are leaving it in the
capable hands of Patrick Edward,
the local classic tractor mechanic.
But his initial assessment
is not good.
The tractor, I would think, is a
tractor that's been put in a shed
20 or 30 years ago and basically
been robbed of bits
to keep other tractors
going for the last 30 years.
Not a great start.
But Patrick will have to get under
the bonnet
to see if this old Massey
is worth saving.
Back at the workshop,
Henry and Guy start working
on their antique Oriental cabinet.
What are we going to do, man?
Just clean it?
We are going to
straighten the hinge.
I think you should brush it and
hoover it out
and get the worst of
the dust off.
So what we are basically saying is
we shouldn't touch this?
I think you're right. I mean, what
are we going to do, paint it?
Clean it. Yeah. I mean, we're not
going to
paint it Cotswolds Green.
Oh, no, no, no.
Restoring the intricate and valuable
lacquered paintwork
is a specialist job. Doing it
themselves would only devalue it
in the eyes of the collectors.
So they're opting just
to clean it and polish it.
IF this is a priceless
Oriental cabinet,
it would be letter left
to an expert.
Look how light the green is
underneath the hinge.
Do you think it
was that colour originally?
Definitely a lot lighter.
Yeah, I prefer it this colour. Yeah.
Closer inspection reveals that the
cabinet has been knocked about a bit
during its centuries
of travel to Oxfordshire.
Look at that leg there,
that is mullered.
Might have been chipped off
by a Chinese emperor, though.
It could be, when he got a rage on.
It's looking beautiful.
In Liverpool, Simon has begun
reconstructing the hayrick.
So this is the central spine.
This is the new piece I'm going to
put on underneath
and hopefully hide it
with the old one.
That's the theory.
To create a rigid chassis,
Simon doubles up the wooden slats
and then screws the old ironwork
into place.
This is going to work.
With the chassis now finished,
Simon strengthens the rest of the
original structure
with a regular wood glue.
That...
Before reattaching the sides back
onto the base.
OK. That should now be...
...a solid hayrick again.
All that's left to do is to paint
it to disguise the new wood.
So, buoyed by his success, Simon
moves on to his other find,
the tudor oak panelling.
Goodbye, poo.
Henry and I have spent
a lot of time...
cleaning off bird excrement.
Simon needs
a wardrobe carcass built,
so the Tudor panels
can be used as doors.
So he's called in
carpenter Rob Byatt to help.
So, my thoughts are,
with your skill,
just get some fabulous oak boards...
OK. ..nice white boards, and just
almost frame these lovely pieces.
Yeah. Let's repurpose them.
Get them back to life. Cool.
Having decided to use the oak panels
as doors for
a custom-built wardrobe,
Rob gets to work.
Simon has opted for a high quality
kiln-dried oak,
which - whilst more expensive -
he hopes will produce
a high-quality finish
and more profit for Sir Benjamin.
What do you think?
It's coming together, isn't it?
Oh, yeah. We're getting there.
I'm liking the idea now.
Now I can see this,
the contrast against that,
when it's waxed up and it's
all chocolate brown.
It's brilliant.
In Oxfordshire, Guy has straightened
out the crooked hinge
with some careful hammering.
What do you reckon?
Mate, you've done really well there.
So well you should get a duster.
And all their antique cabinet needs
is a polish with furniture wax.
OK, mate, well, look, good.
That's as best as we can do, then.
Well done on the hinge.
At least the doors close.
That looks a lot better.
It looks a lot better, actually.
It looks ten times better than when
we got it covered in dust -
and it's now in a fit state for the
valuer to come and appraise it.
With restoration of Sir Benjamin's
items well underway,
it's Henry's turn to use
the next candidate for a clearout.
So he is bringing in Simon to meet
engineer and mechanic
Paul Kelling from Suffolk.
I've had this lock-up
for about five years.
I've just been accumulating gear
in there.
I've got about 80 motorcycles,
which my wife keeps telling me is
too many.
Paul's wife just hopes that the boys
might clear
her husband's cluttered lock-up.
But Paul plans that any money raised
will help him pursue
his passion for
buying more old bikes.
Good morning, Paul, how are you?
Hiya, very well, thanks.
Good, mate, lovely to see you.
This is Simon.
Hi, Simon. Now, tell me is there
anything we can't have in that shed?
There is one or two items in there
you can't have, but most of it,
I'm hoping that because you are
selling it for me, you can have it.
Come on, then.
Let the dog see the rabbit.
Let's have a look.
As always, Simon and Henry need
to pick out two items each
that they think
that they can restore
to make money.
Loads of vehicles with two wheels.
Yeah, mate. Happy days.
Come on!
I can already see, looking in here,
I have got my work cut out
to find anything.
You might need that.
Oh, I might...
THEY LAUGH
I can repurpose this!
Around my head!
Full of bikes, it doesn't take long
for something to catch
Henry's eye. But it's not the
bicycle that's exciting him,
it's the bolt-on engine
at the back.
It's a little mini moto,
in fact, it's called a power pack.
So you have a regular bicycle in the
'50s, you are peddling along,
and then with this handle,
you put this down,
on the wheel... And it engages.
...it engages,
and then you trundle along.
Power packs like this
are becoming rare,
and if still working can sell
for £500 to £600.
To me that is something that needs
to be restored.
It needs to be restored right now.
That is an amazing part of
automative history.
Henry's banked his first item,
the little bicycle engine.
Come on, then! Now we're laughing!
Now we've got to enjoy ourselves.
Come on!
Meanwhile, Simon seems to have taken
a shine to some pieces of metal.
DALEK VOICE:
You will be exterminated.
Exterminate the Cole,
exterminate the Cole.
It struck me there was a lot of
offcuts and interesting pieces
of stainless steel there.
I tell you what I have
in me mind.
I think I'm going to make...
Yeah?
A deer scarer.
What? A deer scarer is
a Japanese water feature,
traditionally made out of bamboo.
The device works
by collecting rainwater.
As it fills up... Yeah. ..it tips.
And as it tips, it makes a banging
noise and it scares the deer away.
It will be a challenge,
but I'm very excited about that.
Because if it turns out right,
it will be absolutely fantastic
and a one-off.
So, the lads have bagged
one item each.
And it looks like Simon has
hit his stride,
finding two pieces
of wooden furniture
amongst all the bikes and engines.
This is good wood.
That is quite funky, that.
This is just veneer.
That's more complete.
This is better quality.
The thing about the chest
of drawers,
it was never
a collector's item.
But it does have some nice lines.
As soon as I see nice lines,
I then know that Gemma
can weave her magic on it
and turn it into
a really nice, saleable piece.
So, Simon has found his second item,
leaving Henry looking for one more.
Check this out.
A butcher's bicycle.
Generally, I think these
are very saleable.
Oh, they are.
People use them for advertising,
they put them outside the cafe
and there you go.
Promotional vehicle.
I mean, it doesn't need too much
doing to it,
apart from it is
missing one major thing.
The basket? Absolutely. Yeah.
And with the butcher's bike bagged,
today's hunt is over.
Now, then, Paul.
You don't happen
to have the basket, do you?
No. It's a shame.
Good.
Your little power pack,
little bicycle there,
I want to take that away and make
you some money.
Am I OK to do that?
Yes. Marvellous.
I think that will sell well.
Good. All right.
Now, Simon is going to tell you what
he's going to do with a few poles.
I just thought, "Deer scarers."
Now, you know what I'm talking
about, don't you?
Yeah. I think you have
took the hard route!
Moving on, my second
item, that old cabinet.
Yeah, over the moon that you are
taking that.
Are you over the moon that
I'm taking those two as well, Paul?
Not quite so over the moon.
HENRY AND SIMON LAUGH
Coming up - wooden wonders...
Wow, Rob! Hi, Gemma.
This is brilliant. Good.
...tractor woes...
This main rear casting
is all broken through here.
...and at the first valuation,
Sir Benjamin is reunited
with his possessions.
Oh, I've been looking for that!
Upcycling experts Henry Cole and
Simon O'Brien are on a mission
to turn trash
into profitable pieces.
I think these are very saleable.
After both choosing their final
two items,
it's back to their respective
boltholes to begin work.
BELL RINGS
In Oxfordshire... Ey up!
...Henry's testing the butcher's bike
under the watchful eye of
restoration guru Guy.
It's all over... Does it stop?
There's no brakes!
Can you get off?
What do you reckon, man?
Do you know what? From 100 feet,
I could tell that this isn't
what it purports to be.
It's from either the Far East
or India or somewhere like that
and it's a copy
of an old English thing.
Basically, it's got reflectors
on it, so straightaway,
in this sunlight,
I saw them glinting
and that's just a dead giveaway
that it's not old.
The butcher's bike may be
a modern reproduction,
but Guy's convinced Henry's
other bike is the real deal.
If we can get it running and clean
it up and check everything works,
I think that's as far as we go. The
major issue with this is getting it
running and checking it's all safe
to ride. All right.
They're two nice items, actually.
Before tackling the power pack's
engine,
Guy notices that the rear mudguard
has snapped,
so he fashions a new bracket to
solve the problem.
As always, the plan of attack with
these sort of motors that have been
lying around for ages is,
first thing, get a spark.
If you've got a spark, assuming it's
happening at the right time, then,
if you add fuel, you should have
motion, hopefully,
or at least a running motor.
Despite finding a spark, the power
pack's engine still won't start.
But if anyone can get it working
again, it's Guy.
It's been sitting around.
The carb's going to have to come off
and be cleaned.
These things never run without
the carb being cleaned.
To remove the build-up of dirt and
grease that's clogging up the
carburettor, guy uses a brake and
clutch cleaner which is available in
auto centres for under a tenner.
And after fitting a dummy fuel tank,
it's time to see if he's managed to
get the power pack
back up and running.
Yes! It goes!
That's not bad.
That's better than I expected.
It never ceases to amaze me that
these decrepit old motors
that have been abandoned,
with a little bit of TLC,
you can get them fired up and running.
There we go.
Fantastic!
With the engine now working,
guy just needs to connect up the
original fuel tank and this old
power pack should make Paul Kelling
a healthy profit.
In Liverpool, Simon's revealing
his plans
for that collection of steel offcuts.
Simon, I'm trying to work out
exactly what this actually is.
Don't bother. It's lots and lots of
different bits of stainless steel.
Oh, so it's not one thing, then.
No, no. Simon's plan is to turn it
into a stainless steel deer-scarer.
So it's a garden feature, basically.
OK. But it will be, it's a
mechanical thing, as well.
His other item is much more up
Gemma's street.
I'm liking the look of this.
Oh, you see, as soon as I saw this,
I knew you'd like it.
Yes, I really like the shape of it,
although it is in pretty bad
condition, isn't it?
It is. It needs a really good clean.
A good sand down, some nice paint
on it, maybe some new handles.
This is my comfort zone.
I like this. You deal with that.
No problem. And I'll go and get the
pad and do some drawings for this.
OK. What have I done?
Simon's done a design for the
deer-scarer,
which Gemma's showing
to blacksmith Ian.
Hi, Gemma.
Hiya, Ian, you all right?
What we got today? Simon would
like to make a deer-scarer
out of them. Do you know what one
of them is?
I've got an idea. Yeah?
OK. Can you read that?
He's got some good sizes on there.
So he's got plenty of steel for you
to work with, but...
I mean, this is your speciality,
not mine.
OK, let's get them on the van.
All right. All right, thank you.
Ian's taking the steel to his smithy
where he'll weld the pipes together,
following Simon's design
for the deer scarer,
leaving Gemma to begin work on the
chest of drawers.
First, she applies an undercoat.
Then, to really revamp the chest of drawers,
Gemma's using a contemporary
putty-coloured paint.
This that I'm putting on
is just a satin wood paint,
so you can use this
on any interior wood.
And I'm putting it on with a roller
because it's easier to go on with
on big surfaces.
Looks better already!
In Oxfordshire, Guy's turning his
attention to servicing the butcher's
bike. I'm just trying to sort out
the rear wheel alignment.
It's a country mile out.
Meanwhile, Henry's been to the local
village in search of a basket.
Oh, no. Here comes trouble.
Looks lovely.
I've made a lock stop here,
so that it doesn't go round and
break all these rods.
I've replaced all the rods.
The brakes work. Wow!
So, lock stop,
so it doesn't do horrible things.
Hey, do you want the piece de
resistance? Yeah, go on. Stay there.
I was actually going to have a
wicker basket made,
but I was just passing a little shop
in Burford, just down the way,
and lo and behold,
basket person selling loads,
and actually, bingo,
there was one that I was sure was
the right size.
I told Guy I'd measured it.
I just winged it, basically.
That's... pretty good. What do you
mean, "pretty good"? That...
Yeah, all right, just squeeze it in
a little bit.
You've done quite well, there.
That's it, mate.
That's ready for sale.
It's lovely, isn't it?
In Liverpool, Gemma's decided to
dress up her chest of drawers,
so she wants to have a new
glass top made.
I thought the best and easiest way
to do it would be to draw around...
and then I know exactly what shape
and size I'm going to need.
Template finished,
she'll send it off to a glass cutter
to have the top made.
Next, she's adding a new set of handles.
So that's where we need to drill.
A cheap and effective way to refresh
the tired old chest of drawers.
There we go.
Simon's next job is to finish
his first set of finds
from Sir Benjamin's.
The idea was originally to keep it
kind of, you know...
The real antique wood.
But, as I got on with it,
I realised I was going to have to
add so many new pieces
that it started to look a bit of
a mishmash,
so I've decided on a nice mute
green will do it.
There are a few joints, as you can
see from the tape, still setting.
But this hayrick is no longer rickety.
Carpenter Rob is also putting
the finishing touches
to Simon's wardrobe,
made with the original Tudor panels.
Oh, wow, Rob!
Hello, Gemma. This is brilliant!
Good! It really sets off these
panels, doesn't it?
Yes, it's nice to re-use them, isn't
it? After all these years. Yeah.
In Oxfordshire, Henry and Guy are
also turning their attention to
getting their items ready
for the first valuation.
The Oriental cabinet has already
been cleaned up, but they're still
waiting to hear from Patrick about
the condition of Sir Ben's tractor.
So they have come to find out
what's going on.
Morning! Morning, Henry,
morning, Guy!
Morning! What's this - a new means
of transport?
Probably better than that one, mate.
At least it's running!
Which is more than we can say for this.
Come on, then. Tell me
what I overlooked.
This main rear casting
is all broken through here,
which will mean that, you know,
it's going to be a new casting,
cos you won't be able to repair
that. Not to be... That's a fortune,
isn't it?
That's going to be... A massive...
Yeah. Substantial.
Yes. You spend money on it,
you're going to spend more money on
it than what it's worth when it's
restored. He probably looked at it
in a very dark shed!
But all's not lost.
The tractor still has value
for spare parts.
Come on, then. If you were going to
buy this off me,
in this state of repair, which
obviously it ain't repair, how much?
750.
Oh, well, I have to tell you, mate,
that's better than I thought you
were going to say.
OK, mate, look, what I've got to do
is, I've got to go back to
Sir Benjamin and tell him that news.
And also offer him a bid of 750
for it, as a breaker.
Thanks, Patrick. With Patrick's
once-over costing Henry £50,
it's really not good news,
but at least there's 700 on the
table for Sir Benjamin.
But will there be more luck
with the other items?
It's time to find out
at the first valuation.
Simon's choice of salvage spot was
Sir Benjamin Slade's estate in
Somerset. Now Sir Benjamin and Jane
have arrived to inspect Henry and
Simon's restoration efforts
and to find out if they've make him
enough money
to purchase a new hog roaster
for his wedding business.
Have a wander round.
Have a look.
This one's come up a little bit better.
Oh, I've been looking for that.
I had to buy another one the other
day!
THEY LAUGH
So, Sir Ben, Jane... You can see
what we've been up to.
What do you think?
The panels look good.
Yeah. They do. They've come up
really nice.
Cross fingers, that could be very valuable.
Shall we find out?
Yeah, let's do that.
Because, with us,
we have our valuer, Adam.
Auctioneer of 20 years,
Adam Partridge can accurately value
almost anything.
Yeah, come on, Adam. Be nice to us
today, mate.
Well, what an array of objects we've
have got here, gentlemen.
Let's start with the tudor panels.
Simon spent £180 on new oak to
re-purpose the tudor panels into a
wardrobe. But the contrast of old
and new isn't to everyone's taste.
I have to admire your creativity,
I suppose,
in making them into an object,
because they were simply
redundant panels,
but, in my view, it's not the most
commercial thing,
and I'm going to have to go with a
value of, I suppose, £200?
I think you're going to struggle to
get more for it.
A disappointing start for Simon.
His efforts to showcase the
500-year-old panels
have fallen flat,
with just £20 profit made
for Sir Benjamin.
Let's move on to the hayrick.
Yes, let's.
Right, right, go on. I think the
hayrick is charming,
and you've done a lovely job in
preserving that and making it into a
serviceable and functional item,
which presumably it wasn't before.
Simon's second item, the restored
miniature hayrick.
Using offcuts of wood and spare
paint, this job didn't cost a thing.
I can see that in a garden centre, or...
(Told ya!)
...decorating a number of places.
And I'm sure that must be £75 worth
of anyone's money.
The hayrick has made Sir Benjamin
a profit of £75.
So, Sir Benjamin, this is the deal
with the tractor.
Basically, I messed up,
because I didn't see that the rear
top linkage was sheared.
Was your original impression, Henry,
this is a rare tractor,
quite excited it might be worth
two or three grand,
and then on inspection you find the
various faults and things like that?
In short, Patrick's offered me
700 quid for it.
Cash.
But that's £700 that perhaps
you wouldn't have had
cos it would have just sort of
rotted in the barn.
So it's not all bad news.
Henry's offer will at least add
a further £700 to Sir Benjamin's
total.
Now, Adam, the cabinet.
Please come good on this.
Well, it's a Japanese lacquered cabinet.
The condition's not too bad.
I notice we've got a few chips
off the feet.
And I think you've done well not to
paint it... Good, OK.
...or do anything to it.
Careful to keep the original lacquer intact,
Henry opted for a gentle clean-up
which didn't cost him
a single penny.
It's sadly not as valuable as you
might think on initial impressions.
Well, there's a great fashion for
all things Oriental at the moment,
but more so the Chinese works of art
than the Japanese lacquered wares.
I would have thought, if you put
that in auction,
a sensible estimate might be £300.
So the Oriental Cabinet nets
Sir Benjamin £300
to complete this round of valuations.
That means, right now, Sir Benjamin,
if you choose to take it, the cash equivalent
of what we have in front of us,
£1,095.
Better than things just languishing,
just sitting there doing nothing.
Well, I can't get a hog roast
for that.
But it will go TOWARDS the hog roast.
Yeah, I'll have to get it on the HP.
It may not have gone as well as
Sir Benjamin had hoped,
but if he accepts the offer
on the tractor,
the lads will have managed to make
him a total profit of £1,095.
A fun day, and with the money
raised, we can just about get home.
We'll have to celebrate in the
motor service station or something,
and that's about it, really.
Have a coffee?!
Coming up, Simon's nerves are
finally shot.
Oh, what was that?
Henry's told to "get on your bike".
300 quid. 300?!
You ARE joking?
And at the final valuation,
the boys rise from the ashes.
That's a good example of upcycling
an item that was destined
for the bonfire.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien are
restoring and up-cycling
people's clutter
into desirable new items,
in the hope to turn a profit
for their owners.
This is brilliant! Good.
Simon's choice of location raised
£1,095 for Sir Benjamin Slade
and partner Jane Blackmore.
Better than things just languishing,
just sitting there doing nothing.
So Henry is under pressure
to do better for his choice -
mechanic and engineer
Paul Kelling from Suffolk.
Come on then, talk to me.
And he's hoping his two bikes
will do just that.
I made a bracket there, I had to
adjust the height of the motor for
friction on the rear tyre,
it was too low,
you couldn't peddle it at all.
Guy's given the
original 1950s bicycle
a complete mechanical overhaul too.
Have you ridden it? Does it go?
It goes and I've had a little pootle
around here on it,
but I want you to take it
up the road. All right.
All it needs is a little legwork
to get the engine sparked into life.
Full power. Go on, son. Go on, mate!
Things are happening.
It's on! I can't stop.
And then let the little motor
take the strain.
HE LAUGHS
This thing just proves you can have
much more fun at 20mph
than you can at 140 on a racetrack,
in my view.
In Liverpool, Ian the blacksmith
has been busy transforming
the scraps of stainless steel
into Simon's one-off designer
deer-scarer.
But will the finished design
be what Simon imagined?
You're a good man, Ian.
So I'm a little deer over here
going, "Nom, nom, oh, nice,
"someone's lovely flowers
that they've spent years and months
"planting and looking after,
they taste nice.
"Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
"Ooh, yum, yum, yum.
METAL CLANKS
"Oh, what was that?!"
Let's hope the deer-scarer's
potential value
doesn't give Simon a similar fright.
Gemma is trying to add value
to the shabby old chest of drawers
and she's got one final trick
up her sleeve.
Now, for the last stage,
I'm going to make
this poor old thing
try and look a little bit
more special.
With a bit of decoupage.
I've found some lovely
old wallpaper,
which I've cut up into pieces and
I'm going to cover the top.
Cover up all that damaged wood.
Finally, Gemma adds a coat
of varnish to seal
and protect her masterpiece.
Hello.
That piece of glass on top
finishes that off.
Lovely. A nice touch, Gem,
a really nice touch.
And Henry's equally happy.
He's been called by the cheese shop
in Burford
who are interested in
buying the butcher's bike.
What do you reckon?
Absolutely fantastic.
£300. 300?
You are joking? I'll give you 200.
No, I'm sticking with 300.
Really? I think it's worth 300.
I should've said 350,
but at the same time,
I just want to do the deal.
Hmm...
250? No.
I really need 300 for it.
Really? Oh, all right then.
I feel bad for you.
HE LAUGHS
Is it that easy?
Go on, then.
A result, but will the valuer
agree with Henry's deal?
It's time to find out
at the final valuation.
Henry chose engineer Paul Kelling's
place in Suffolk.
As ever,
the boys took two items each.
Now he's here to find out
what's been done to his property
and more importantly,
will they raise enough cash
for a few more bikes?
So, look, feast your eyes, dear boy.
That looks a lot better
than when it left mine.
It's good, isn't it?
It was, I think the technical term,
is it was knackered. Wasn't it?
It was. I know the feeling!
Have we made you any money,
that's the key, Paul?
Auctioneer Adam Partridge is back
to value the latest collection
of restorations.
Hi, Adam. Hey, Adam. What about that
lovely chest of drawers behind you?
Let's start with that, shall we?
Well, that's a good example
of up-cycling an item
that was destined for the bonfire.
Giving the tired old
chest of drawers
a contemporary makeover
has cost just £35.
There will be some people that like
it and I would have thought that
person, when we find them,
would give us £70 or so for it.
That's not bad. That's all right.
I'd be well happy with 70 quid
for that. Good lad! Would you, mate?
The chest of drawers has pulled in
a £35 profit for Paul.
OK, moving on.
Stainless steel, 21st-century
deer-scarer-water-feature-sculpture.
Value that, if you dare.
I've been asked to value
some strange things,
but I'm not sure if anything has
been quite as quirky as this one.
Simon spent £125 repurposing
a random assortment of steel
into a one-of-a-kind deer-scarer.
METAL CLANKS
Well, it's not the easiest thing
to value, this,
because you'll never find another.
I think £150 would be a fair price
and you never know,
you might find someone that could
give you a little bit more,
but I'm going to go with £150.
After deducting blacksmith's costs,
that leaves Paul with just
a profit of £25.
Adam, can we talk motorcycles
or things that are relatively close
to being a motorcycle?
I like this object a lot.
It's a post-war pedal bike
with a power pack on the back.
A lot made, perhaps,
of the power packs,
but not many survive to this day.
Guy's expertise was all
that was needed
to get the power pack back to life.
I would say 550
would be a decent price to expect
for one of those in that condition.
So it's a total of £550
in pure profit
for the power pack and bicycle.
Moving on, come on, what about
the butcher's bicycle bicycle?
The butcher's bike,
I think it works really well.
Clearly, it doesn't appear
to be a period example.
I think it's a copy.
A reproduction, fair to say.
It is a copy, yeah.
Henry's only expenditure on the
butcher's bike was the new basket,
which cost £60.
These are very popular,
mainly for advertising reasons,
as I'm sure you've all seen them,
outside various shops.
I'd have thought
you should get...
...£250 for it.
OK, well, look,
I have sold it for £300.
Henry's savvy sale has secured
Paul another £240.
So, look, Paul, I'm sure you'd
like to know the grand total
of the wedge,
the cash that we've got for you.
And that is 850 quid.
Pleased with that. I'm glad
you're thrilled with it, mate,
because that makes all the hard work
worthwhile. Cheers, Paul.
No problem. Thank you so much, mate.
Happy days, good.
Thanks to the lads' efforts,
Paul is walking away with a total
of £850.
Really pleased with the valuation.
The stuff had been up the barn
for ages, weren't being used,
and to turn it into some cash...
and the evaluation
was spot-on the money.
Henry's choice made more than £800,
but it's Simon who's
today's victor.
His selection,
a 2,000-acre estate in Somerset
made Sir Benjamin Slade £1,095.
Mixed feelings about today.
But, you know what,
finished on a high.
Yes, well, we did.
I mean, Paul's well happy, isn't he?
Yeah, absolutely. 850 quid,
that must mean that I've won.
Well, actually,
you've just cheered me up. Why?
Well, OK, Sir Benjamin,
I feel he was a bit disappointed
with how things went,
but he still made £1,095
and if you do the maths,
that means that I have won again.
IMITATES HIM: "I've won again."
