Find It Fix It Flog It (2016-2022): Season 2, Episode 4 - Episode #2.4 - full transcript

Hey, hey!

The homes of Britain are
stacked with old possessions.

Mm, now I've got my first item.

It may look like junk but it could
be worth a small fortune.

I think you're in the money. We are.

Cor, I haven't seen one that big,
darling for a while!

Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien
can turn that clutter

into cold, hard, cash.

We're going to get great money
for them.

For Henry and his mechanic...

I don't think you should be looking
at that, mate.



...they'll fettle metal and restore
old furniture.

Well, that's looking great, hey?

Whilst upcycling genius Simon and
his restorer

love turning everyday objects into
fantastic furniture.

That's perfect.
Look, feast your eyes.

I reckon you've done great things.

Can we go on? Yes, you can!

They may have different tastes

but they'll always make the old turn
to gold.

You are going home today
with £800.

How about that? Brilliant.

On today's show, Henry is in heaven.

Oh, Utopia, mate, check it out, man.

The nirvana of motor cycles.



Simon has finally gone over
to the dark side.

Is that it?

And Henry gets thrown overboard
at the second search.

No!

I love that by the way,
if you don't mind me saying.

What? That little cruise
we just had.

What, you enjoyed the ferry trip,
did you?

You call it a ferry trip.

I like to call it a cruise.

Today, Henry's taken Simon off the mainland

and on to the beautiful
Isle of Wight.

But it is, beautiful, though,
isn't it?

It's absolutely gorgeous.

Queen Victoria spent many of her
childhood holidays on the island

and helped popularise it
as a holiday destination.

King Edward, who used to race...

Oh, yeah? ..he got really into yachting,

and he used to race against
the Kaiser.

Really, what, at yachting?

Yes. Sailing? Racing around
the Isle of Wight.

But today it's not about the sea
but the land

and somewhere Henry
would feel at home.

Prepare yourself to be amazed.

Prepare myself to see lots
of motor bikes,

that's what I'm preparing
myself for.

There might be a few,
but you need to look underneath.

They are meeting motor bike-mad
Vincent Faithfull,

whose sheds overflow with motor
cycles and all things petrol-based.

I like to collect anything

that possibly other people don't
find interesting.

Henry and Simon, when they come
down, will really, really enjoy

looking at the collection of items
that I've put together.

Vince, how are you, mate,
lovely to see you.

This is Simon.

Very nice to meet you.
Thank you for coming down.

I promise you...

Motor bikes, motor bikes.

Vince, please tell me there's other
stuff as well.

Oh, there's lots.
Good. There's lots.

You are coming into my crazy world.

Thank you. Cheers, mate.
We'll see you in a bit.

Any money the boys make for Vincent
will go towards a holiday

for him and his daughter, Poppy,

so they'd better get searching
for the two profitable items.

Oh, Utopia, mate.

Check it out, man.

The nirvana of motor cycles.

I want this.

This is one of my
favourite sports bikes.

Is it? It's a ZRX1100.

And I won't bore you.
It's 1998, probably.

Let's have a quick look, yeah.

And, um, sorry, just excuse me.

It's a bit knacked.

Lights come on, yeah,
hang on a sec.

ENGINE STARTS

COUGHING

Does that do something for you,
or what?

Yes, it makes me cough!
It makes me cough, Henry.

Honestly, man, that is a dream bike
for me.

And suddenly, Henry is in
a happy place.

First pick.

I need to save him.

I think they're worth
really good money.

Styled like an '80s muscle bike,

the ZRX would reach 60
in 2.9 seconds

and continue to a fear-inducing
143 miles per hour.

It's a runner, but Henry can spot
the bike's a mess of worn-out parts.

I have to say, if you didn't take
a motor bike home today,

I'd be highly...
In fact, I would be worried.

But the killer today
is you take one as well.

No. Come on!

No, not going to happen.
Mate, live a little!

So Henry has his first item,

the unloved Kawasaki ZRX1100.

Look at it up here, man.

Excuse me. Please.

Oh, man, it just gets
better up here.

Now then. Ignore the cans.

Leave it.

Oh, yeah, little pea shooter pipes
off a British bike.

But they're lovely in themselves,
aren't they? Mm-hm.

Oh, here we go. Look at them, on the
wall, next to each other like that,

uplight, downlight.

Yeah, I can see it.

This man is getting enthused
about motorcycling.

Let him have them.

I'm done. I've got one.

The collection of chrome exhaust
pipes are Simon's first pick.

Your second item is yet
to be decided.

I know, there's more stuff back here.

No, I'm not taking a motor bike.

Something very strange
is happening to Henry.

That's beautiful.

I mean, you don't see that
in a bike shop, do you?

No. I can't believe
what's happening here.

You are surrounded by two-wheeled
things with engines.

I've got a ZRX1100.

That's your second item?

Yeah, because I can sit on this
and look at the bike.

That thing will come up beautiful

and will be worth a nice little bit
of smash for Vince.

2-1. 2-1.

Henry's got a really good
pick there.

The wooden bench is a repro,
and no more than 30 years' old,

but Henry is pushing himself out of
his comfort zone,

so now Simon's decided
to do the same.

You say you won't take any one
of those bikes.

It's out there somewhere, Simon.

Just choose yourself
something that says you.

What Simon O'Brien is all about.

Henry's been nagging - nag, nag,
nag, nag, nag, nag, nag.

"Take a motorbike,
take a motorbike, take this."

And in the end, you know what,
I caved in.

OK, I've picked one.

Have you? I've got my second item.

Really? Yeah. Have you really?

Yeah. You're not
just hoodwinking me.

No. Go on. Go on.

The design classic for Simon's
second item is a Honda C70 moped.

With over 85 million of them made,

it's not the rarest item
in the world.

Is that it?

But as Simon also knows,
size doesn't really matter.

Should I ask you why you chose that?

Because it's cool.

There is one other reason?

Yeah? My dad used to have one and he
had one of those helmets as well,

just the round bit
and the leather coming down.

Little pudding basin. He used to go
off to work every morning.

He had a C90, that's a C70.

Beautiful, this. Let me tell you,
man, those aren't emerging classics.

They have arrived.

Today I'm pleased that I finally
joined in

and went down the motorbike route.

I can't believe you're taking
a motorcycle.

Really? I know.

That's the two items each
and the search is done.

We'll start with the classic,
shall we?

The little Honda 70 there.

What a great choice.

I'm absolutely chuffed with that,
if it's OK to take that?

It is indeed. My other choice is
more my kind of thing

but I stayed automotive,
I stayed motorbikes.

The exhaust over there,
the exhaust boxes.

Very nice.
British motorcycle exhaust.

They are about to become a lovely
set of wall lights, mate.

That's my two choices.

I'm absolutely chuffed with them,
mate, there you go.

Now, Vince, right - my dream bike.

A beautiful bike.

You know, I mean I just had
to take it.

There's lots of stuff that just
needs to be sorted on it,

isn't there?
I just want to get it mint.

And if that's OK, Vince,
I'll take that.

Now, next, the pew.

Beautiful, isn't it?
It is lovely, isn't it?

It is lovely. If it's OK with you,
I want to take

two rather eclectic,
I may say, items.

Vince, you've turned our
world upside-down.

It's been an absolute pleasure,
mate. Cheers.

Coming up: Henry's restorer guy
thinks Christmas has come early.

Is it Christmas?

Yeah, come on mate.

One of my favourite bikes
of all time.

Simon's sidekick is dumbfounded.

This is a Henry item.

I can't upcycle that.

And Henry's bench restoration
hits a snag.

What's the problem? It doesn't
look right, does it?

Restorers and upcyclers
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien...

Excuse me. Please.

...are turning rubbish into real money.

No, I'm not taking a motorbike.

They've both picked up two items
each from Vincent's yard

on the Isle of Wight is that they
hope our profit potential.

Henry's back at his workshop in Oxfordshire...

Is it Christmas?

Yeah, come on, mate.
That... Is a...

...revealing his latest pics to old friend

and master mechanic Guy Willison.

I've been looking at it.
There's a bit of trouble here.

Have you seen the drawers? Yes.
They're a bit of trouble as well.

Yes, so if we painted these and the
drawers the same colour,

I think that would look quite nice.
That's exactly what I thought.

With the hastiest of plans agreed on
the bench,

the boys can move on to the main event.

Oh, yes. Hmm.

Much better. Yeah, I thought you
might like it.

ZRX1100 - one of my favourite
bikes of all time.

However, there is a word of caution.

There are issues, as you can see.

Yeah, I'm going to say to you...
Off you go. Get your wallet ready.

If you're not careful, you're not
going to make any money.

I hate these mirrors -
they need to come away.

We need to get standard. Yeah.

We need to put seals in the front
forks. Yes.

Also, Andy needs to re-cover that.

Yeah, definitely. Are you happy?

Very happy. I wish you'd bring more
of these.

With the knackered old seat removed
and dispatched to a specialist,

Henry reaches for the trustee green
gloop, or degreaser to you and I,

before he blasts off years of oily dirt.

It is a nice bike, isn't it?

It's going to be great, mate.

And while Guy dries the bike,

work on the seat is already underway.

In the capable hands of Andy, the
classic bike seat fabricator,

the cracks are filled,

bonded and shaped using fresh foam,

then re-upholstered with a new cover.

At their base, the boys are working
on another seat - the pew bench.

I think there's a slight problem.

Come round here.

What's the problem? A mismatch?

It looks very new as well,
doesn't it?

It doesn't look right, does it?

The old varnish Henry's removed was
hiding mismatching pine planks.

How come it looked all right and
now it don't look all right?

Just because you've removed the
stain from it

that equalled it all up.

You thinking of painting the
whole thing?

Yeah. I don't know what to do, mate.

While Oxfordshire's hit the buffers,
up in Liverpool,

there is only expectation.

Yeah, baby.

THEY LAUGH

What...? And a little surprise.

What are you thinking?

This is the Henry item.

I'm here to upcycle things.
I can't upcycle that.

There's one thing I'd like you to
have a look at on it. OK, go on.

Because part of its charm, I firmly believe,

are these lovely kind of plaid
tartan bags,

but they have seriously seen better days.

They certainly have seen better days.

Can you kind of do it like a repair
on them so at least if you carry

something in the rain it would be
waterproof?

Right, well, I'll give it a go.

The Honda Cub's a surprise hit with
restorer Gemma.

Onto the exhaust pipes.

On the wall, up light, down light.

I like it. Yeah.

Yeah? Yeah. Watch out, Henry.

Firstly, Simon gets Phil,
his local handyman,

to drill out the chrome exhaust

ready for the electric up lighters
to be fitted.

But Gemma also has a job for him.

The Honda Cub won't start.

Phil? Hello, hun.

Look what Simon's brought back.

Hmm.

It is cool, isn't it?
That takes me back.

And I think this is going to have to
be a job for you.

I'll get stuck into this.
Yeah? Oh, aye. Well, here you go.

Here's the keys. Cheers, hun.

The Honda Cub was initially designed
for an Asian market.

Easy to ride and cheap to run,
it became a global hit.

Let's see if it starts.

ENGINE SPUTTERS Ooh.

But this one is going nowhere,

so Phil will have to dismantle the
bike to discover

why the engine is not firing. No.

In Oxfordshire, the men of machines
are also struggling.

Do you know? I find it so dull doing undercoat.

Three coats later, and Henry and Guy
face a colourful dilemma.

Now then...

Fire brick red or inky blue?

If you say red, we're doing it read.

I tell you what, that's thick.

Yeah, it's organic, that's why.
Why? What does that mean?

Well, it's full of herbs and spices.

Can I say something?
What? I don't like it.

Now I've opened it, I want the blue.

Now, that is nice.

Does it look lovely?

Henry's bench is in fact a variety
of seating

known as a monk's settle.

Some old versions would hinge the
seat back, up and over

to convert it into a long table.

These were also known as hutch tables.

Come round here.

What do you thing? Do you know what?

That is really out of our comfort
zone, but another coat,

polish of the wood and it's going to
look beautiful.

But before these old bikers are lost
to pine,

motorbike parts arrive to save them.

You've gone mad. Let's run through
this just that...

Hang on a minute. Mirrors.

Not too expensive, all right, and we
need them.

Yes, you've got to have those.

Spark plugs, fork seals.
Yes, got to have those.

Parts for this kind of era of bike
now are big money,

so if you go and spend a fortune on it,

you're not going to realise much profit.

I know that logo on the box.
I know what's in there.

They are shock absorbers,
you're right.

Now, tell me they're bottom of the
range to maximise profit?

Absolutely, they are... not.

Top of the range.
Right, let's get going.

I'm not even going to talk money.

HE LAUGHS

In Liverpool, Simon calls upon the
skills of local electrician Neil to

create his exhaust pipe up lighters.

Here's the idea. On the wall...

Up light, down light.

Yeah? Yeah, OK.

Two of them, these two,
are going as a pair.

These two are going as singles,
but, in both cases,

they're going to be mounted on these
chrome bars.

However you can work your magic...

Seems straightforward enough.

OK? Nice one. It'll be exhausting
work, this, mate.

THEY LAUGH

In their other workshop,

Phil has moved on to giving the
Honda Cub a new coat

of colour-matched yellow paint.

That is a nice yellow.

I'm more than happy with that.

We'll have to at least touch these
bit up

that it's been primered over.

With work well under way on their
first finds,

it's Simon's turn to pick a rummage location.

That's really nice.
Do I have to eat me salad?

Yes, you do have to eat your salad.

So, come on, then, where are you
taking me?

We're here. What do you mean, we're
here?

We're here. If you look over there,

see the big outhouse? Yeah.

See the little marquee thing?

Yeah. There it is. Take your time.

See? You know, when I pick a place,
it works out well.

Jay Chapman has just taken over the
oldest pub in Ben Bridge

on the Isle of Wight.

We got the keys, unlocked the door,

and there is just loads of stuff in there

we just didn't know what to do with.

There's been a pub there the 250 years.

I've no idea what they're going to find.

Jay, how are you?

Good to see you. And you. Yourself?

You do a lovely lunch.
Thank you very much.

I'm glad you managed to it a bit of
time in for that, really.

Now, tell me, why are you asking us
over here?

Well, we've decided that we're going
to expand our restaurant,

and we're going to build a new
little restaurant

in the barn and stable area,
which is what it used to be.

We'd also like to spend a bit of
money on the youth football team

as well - a few nets and a few balls
for them.

Oh, brilliant. In that case,
we'd better get going.

Thank you. Cheers. So, that way?
Yeah, come on.

They'll have to find two items each
that will deliver Jay

some cash for his projects.

And it's going to be...

Oh... Oh, wh... what's happened
here?

Hello! The only thing that was in
the first shed was an echo.

I'll tell you what,
it's a beautiful building.

It is a beautiful building. Perhaps
we can take this and restore it.

Tell me there's a whole plethora there.

Nothing.

Ah. So, the neatest and
emptiest location

the lads have ever come across.

I think it's over there, the stash.

Where, where? There. Through the
oblong window.

Ah-ha.

Hang on, careful.

I suddenly see a ship's wheel and,

for some unknown reason, well,
I quite like it.

It could be nice, couldn't it?

Could be nice. Here you go. Go on, Captain.

Oh! It's very windy. Oh, Captain!

That'll be a force...
I think that might be...

No! ..captain!

Is that a friendly thing to do?

I don't think it is, really.

But I think I took it on the chin,
and on the front,

and mainly on my trousers.

You get that every now and again,
just these freak waves.

Looks quite nice from here.

You could cut those out and make it
a mirror or something.

That would be quite cool.
Come on, let's give it...

That is a definite maybe.
OK. All right, just for us.

A rather soggy Henry definitely
maybe has his first item.

Hey, Si, a little baby.

Hmm? That's a sweet one.
I'll take that with me.

And a second baby wheel clinches the
deal for Henry.

So, item one, little and large
ship's wheels.

Ah, this has put the spring in my
step. Look at this lot.

Onwards and Simon has spotted
something of interest.

Ooh, what's that?

It is... Now, look. Oh, man, that's
great. Oh, that is cute.

So, it's a sewing box? Yeah.

Gemma would go mad for that.

Wouldn't she just love that? Yeah.

I think I might have a buyer for
this. What, Gemma? Yeah.

Gemma will love it

and I'm going to try and make her
buy it.

I like that, though. It's simple,
not too fussy.

Well, we've kind of got one item
each, then. We have.

So, Simon has taken the Victorian
dark wood sewing box

as his first item.

And there's more.

Ah.

A bit of that glass, maybe?

No, never mind that. Look at this.

Blimey! What era's that?

Do you like that? '70s?

'50s. Is it? Yeah. I like that.

Don't you like it? That's got nice
lines and I think...

Hang on. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, look. There you go, mate.

Ah... Except...

Missing the central leaf.

I think I can make a piece to go in there.

Then it would have to be painted.

But if you contrast some nice '50s
colours with the base

and the top... Yeah, nice.
It could work.

I'd just like the lines of that.

It is getting a new lease of life.

Just because it was designed so well
in the first place,

I have to take it.

It's got a little bit of something
about it.

Actually, do you know what?
I hate this item.

That's absolutely horrible. Why are
you getting two items straight away?

Just shake my hand. You've done your
two items. OK. OK.

You don't have to like it, Henry,
as it's not your item.

The '50s table is Simon's second pick.

I quite fancy a little drink to
celebrate, seen as we're in a pub.

Look, will you do be a favour?

Just chill out, out here in the
sunshine. OK. All right?

I'll have a pint of bitter.

So, I head off to the boys' room,
but on the way, man, hey...

Hey, Si. What? What do you reckon
on this, mate?

That. What do you reckon on that,
man? It's lovely, isn't it?

If you've got a key for it,
it doesn't matter about the age.

They have a certain value, these,
you know.

Henry's spotted an old safe.

Dating from the turn-of-the-century,

this could be valuable if it's still lockable.

Keyless, it's just scrap metal.

There might be a load of money in there.

Who knows? This is the point, isn't
it?

It could be stuffed with gold bullion.

If we could only get the key,
that would be fantastic.

Hey, you know, you've got to have
use for a safe

in this day and age, surely.
Yeah, probably as a safe.

Are we done? Excellent. Go on, I'll
give it a go.

If Jay's got the key, happy days.
Otherwise, I'll hatch a plan.

The safe is Henry's second and final item

and, if he manages to get it open,
who knows what might be inside?

You're not going to buy that pint,
are you?

No. I'm just going to dry me trousers.

Trousers dried, it's time to find Jay.

Jay, the first couple of items that
I'd like to take away with me

are a couple of little ship's
wheels.

Obviously, the larger one has seen
quite stormy weather.

Yes, very true.

But if it's OK with you, mate,
I will be taking those two. Perfect.

Now, onto a...

safer item.

Have you got a key for the safe?

I knew you were going to ask for
that. I'm ever so sorry,

it's the only thing I haven't got.

Oh, mate.

OK, look, either way,

I'm going to try and get a locksmith
to open that Pandora's box.

Well, move on to my two items.

Really cute little sewing box.

Lovely, isn't it?
It is, really lovely thing.

OK, it needs a bit of work.

I'd love to take that, if that's OK.

You're welcome to it. It's a lovely
piece, that, nice.

Now, OK, that lovely extendable leaf
table. Yes.

It's got a '50s vibe about it.
What do you know about that?

It's actually one of my old
grandmother's ones,

and I've been meaning to do a lot
with it for a long time,

but it's never happened,
so over to you guys, really.

Well, one question. When you extend
it, there's normally a leaf...

You want the middle bit, don't you?

Is it... ? I haven't seen it.

OK. I know what it does have, though.

What? It has a bar fully stocked
and it's your round.

Cheers, Jay. Perfect.

It's been an absolute pleasure.

Coming up, Guy gives Henry a piece
of his mind...

Boats and you are a disaster.

...Simon turns mod...

Do I remember how to ride one of
these?

See you later, baby.

...and there's a positive reaction at
the valuation.

They're great, they're nice, they're
beautifully done.

They're very quirky. They'd look
great in a front room.

Captains of clutter
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien

are on the hunt for valuables
in your rubbish.

Look at that! Ship ahoy.

They've both picked two items
publican Jay Chapman.

Simon's returned to Liverpool to
share his haul with his upcycling
partner in crime, Gemma Longworth.

I love these.

These are both gorgeous.

I love them both.

First up is Jay's 1950s
extendable dining table.

There is one slight issue
with this table.

What's that? Open it up.

That's it.

Oh! The leaf's missing.

I'll get a nice piece of hardwood,
easy enough job, go to town on it.

Yes. And, if you like that,...

I am intrigued by this.

It's lovely. Have a look.

Oh, wow! There you go.

Craft! Yes.

I thought I might have a buyer
for this.

I'll buy it! Oh, buttons!

Yeah. No surprises which item
Gemma gets to work on first.

Her plan is to turn the drab
and worn sewing box...

I'm keeping all these as well.

They can go back in
when I've made it beautiful.

...into a bright and pleasing
new sewing box,

starting with a new lining.

This lining has seen better days,

so I am going to get that out.

With the box stripped to the wood,

the entire thing is sanded smooth
to give the best possible base
for a new paint job.

Outside, Simon is joining handyman
Phil to make a new extension leaf
for the '50s Art Decotable.

Are you sure about this?

Yes. We have only got one
go at this, Phil.

I'm all right. It'll do, won't it?

No, it won't do. It will do
as long as it is right,
you know how it works.

You just get your Germans on that.

OK.

Simon's picked an expensive piece
of hardwood to match the existing
table top.

Beautiful.

What is it?

Sapele. Looks like wood.

Sapele.

Sapele is a sustainable hardwood,

a better material to use than
the table's original mahogany,

which is being cut down but not
replaced in the world's rainforest.

Last job is sanding and bevelling
the edges to match
the existing table top.

OK, let's see if this fits.

I'm happy with that.

Gemma can have that to paint.

In Henry's workshop, he's revealing
his finds to Guy.

First item should be
a fairly safe bet.

I've never brought one of these in,
mate. No. Yeah.

I don't think I've ever
dealt with a safe.

So what's the plan? We're going
to open it, clean it,

and we sell it as a safe?

Yeah. If we can't...

What are we going to do, then?
Then it's a table, isn't it?

I reckon if you polish the handles
and everything, it's beautiful,
and you have got it to put stuff on.

Either way, safe money.

Oh, good.

So Henry will call a safe-cracker
and see what can be done.

Next, the little and large
ship's wheels,

which will require
all Henry's salesmanship and tact.

Happy, Guy? Not so happy?

No, no.

No, I'm not. When are you going
to learn...

boats and you are a disaster?

Look, I admit there is
an issue here, isn't he?

An issue? What are we going
to do with this?

That's quite nice.

The rest of it is... Can I just
stop you for one second?

Problem, is it? Problem?

Big problem!

Problem solved. You need
some anger management, you do.

Ah. Well, at least they still
have the small ship's wheel.

In Liverpool, Gemma is inspecting
the '50s dining table.

Phil's done a great job
on this table.

He's put a new leaf in,
and it's perfect.

Now, me and Simon agreed that we're
going to leave the legs as they are.

So I am going to get
sanding this tabletop down.

With the old French polish
sanded back,

the table top matches the new wood
and is ready for the next step.

Well, that's done.

Now I can prime and paint it.

This is looking gorgeous,
even if I do say so myself.

While the paint dries,
Gemma gets on with the sewing box.

I've primed my little craft box,
and before I paint it,

which is the best part,
I need to repair my lid.

So, I'm going to use some wood glue.

OK. I'm just going
to sandwich that together.

And then I cut a piece of wood...

...to hold that in place.

With the old lid now braced
and repaired,

Gemma is straight on the painting.

You never get to the end of a tin
of paint,

so I have got loads of little bit
of colours left over.

Lots of tester pots.

I am going to put them all on this,
it is going to be great.

In Oxfordshire,
Henry has calmed down,

and safe-cracker Alan has arrived
to work his wonders on the old safe.

So, look, right, how old is that,
do you reckon, on first look sees?

Absolutely pre-1920.

Oh, really? That early?

And much more likely
to be late 1800s.

Now am I allowed to watch you,
or certain bits?

Right. There's a few things I really
do have to keep as trade secrets.

OK. Hey, well, let's hope there's
something in there.

I can't wait. Safe-cracking
requires very specific skills,

and for obvious reasons, they are
going to remain utterly secret.

That is it, yeah. Pull the door...

Oh, man!

Check that out! I mean,
there's nothing in there!

But... Oh, hang on.

What's in here?

Hang on a second!

Come on, you've planted that before,
haven't you? No, mate, I haven't!

Look at this! It is all 1 pees!

All right, so there's about
a tenner here.

We've made some money already.

Yeah. Eh? Yeah.

With the safe-cracked, Alan
will now make up new keys.

Now it's back in working order,
the safe's value has soared.

Fantastic, mate. Thank you so much.

Brilliant. Any time.

And with that success, it seems
peace has broken out.

We've made up now.

And Guy is restoring what is left of
the other find,

the little ship's wheel.

Here you go. You are just going to
have to hold fire on that a second,

just de-grease this and clean it
before you...

What do you reckon?
Oh, that looks great, man.

Hey, look, we're back in the room,
aren't we?

We are. I've calmed down,
you've calmed down.

You needed to calm down.

Yeah, all right, I know
I've got issues sometimes.

Once every ten years.

I did make a...

...kind of peace offering cup of tea
somewhere, I don't know where
that is.

Did you? Over there.
Oh, I'll go and get them.

You go and get that. OK, so, look,
quick polish.

With Guy back on tea duty,

Henry needs to clean and undercoat
the ship's wheel.

I think it looks quite nice
in white.

Before painting it blue.

Is it just me?
I mean, it looks lovely.

But it looks a lot darker.

You've got your sunglasses on.

I can't believe you've just
done that.

Do you like the colour?
Have I had them on all the time?

Yeah.

Do you like the colour?
I thought you knew.

Ah, bless. Friends again.

Henry can move on to finishing
the fully functional safe.

Look, I've been thinking about what
to do with this little baby.

And, actually, talking to Alan,
he reckons just clean it,

and then sell it,
now we've got some keys.

And then it's up to the new owner
whether they actually paint it

properly, because actually
painting it would cost a fortune.

And we wouldn't get any money
for Jay that way.

To maximise profit and to keep
the old safe looking authentic...

Oh, and there she blows.

Henry opts for buffing up
the brass fixtures.

In Liverpool, it's time
to check out today's first finds,

starting with the lights
that electrician Neil
has been working on.

So, if you want to see where I'm
going. Brilliant. There we go.

Oh, wow!

Oh, they look great, Neil!

Well, all you need to know is
everything has been wired up to
regulations and everythingis safe.

Brilliant. Great. What more
could we ask for?

Glad you're happy.
Thank you. Take care. See you later.

A big quick polish
and the uplighters are ready
for the valuations.

The same can't be said
for the Honda C 70.

Phil has been struggling to get
the old cub to turn over.

No.

With the flaring removed,
Phil dismantles the carburettor and
looks for dirt and blockages

which could cause the fuel and air
not to mix correctly and stop
the engine from firing.

Indoors, there's mixed news
on the old moped's saddlebag, too.

How are the bags coming? Right.

Simon, these are beyond repair.

But... Not to disappoint,
I have ordered some more,

and I have got some new ones.

They are very pretty.
Have we got two?

Yeah, so I've got you two of them.

OK. There you go.

I will take them to Phil.
And that saves me a job.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm a bit disappointed.

You'll get over it.

In Oxfordshire, Henry's also
returned to his first set of finds,

and is refitting the final part of
the Kawasaki Superbike, the seat.

Is that it?

Try it for comfort, then.

Come on, sit on it.

That is lovely.
Less saggy at the back.

That is fantastic, man.

I probably won't want to sell this.

You will, Henry, but not before
taking it for a burn.

In Liverpool, it is also
crunch time.

Phil thinks he has cracked the
problem with the carburettor.

Over to test pilot Simon.

Do I remember
how to ride one of these?

See you later, baby.

That's a sight! He's got second.

It's all right, isn't it?

Done a great job, mate.
Brilliant, this.

Back at their Oxfordshire workshop,

Henry and Guy are finishing off
the monk's settle bench.

Done. Walk away.

What do you think, mate?
Mate, considering what it was,
that is beautiful.

It is just lovely, isn't it?

Yeah. Really nice.

That is worth good money.
You reckon?

Yeah. I'm the one who has got to go
and get it, though, aren't I?

Yeah. It's nice.

As usual. I'm chuffed.

But will fashion store manager
Caroline be equally chuffed,

as she has come to buy?

So is it as nice as you thought
it was?

It's nicer than I thought it was.

Really? I have to say, it is lovely.

It is beautifully finished.
I love the colour.

Depends on the price, but I love it, yeah.

Yeah. I know you love it - would you
love it for 300 quid, love it?

Oooh!

A bit steep loving it there.

A bit steep loving it.
Maybe a 250 loving it?

Can't really... I mean,
I would love to, darling.

270?

270, I will deliver it.

Go on, then. I love it for 270.

Can I get a kiss? Beautiful.
Of course you can.

Did he strike a good deal
for owner Vincent?

It's time to find out,
because it's the first
all-important valuation.

Henry chose to help
Vincent Faithful,

who has come back to see if
the items will make a profit.

Vince. Hi, are you all right?

Hello. Happy days!

How are you, mate? Fantastic.

Well, fill your boots.
Have a wander about.

Have a shifty. What has happened
with the panniers?

Ah, yes. I will tell you about that
in a bit.

No, it's looking lovely.
Yeah, looking great.

Yes, nice. And this one as well.

And the settle as well.

Very nice.

Hm. What can I say about those?

Come back here. Come back here!

Come and join us.

They are great, they are nice.
Beautifully done.

They are very quirky. They would
look great in a front room.

Well, I am thrilled you are happy,
but have we made you any money?

Yes. I certainly hope so.

Well, Alicia is with us.

Alicia Moore runs a store
specialising in upcycled furniture,

and has a good eye for the
market value of restored items.

Let's start with that lovely
little Honda cub.

She's sweet, isn't she? Lovely.

Yeah. Part of the Honda Super,
has lots of different names.

The rusty old Honda has been
brought back to life for £50,

spent on the panniers
and some yellow paint.

I'd say you would easily
get about £1,500.

I think that's a fair valuation.

I have, Vince,
had an offer for 1,400.

£1,400.

The moped has ridden off
with a profit of £1,350.

Let's have a talk about
my lovely exhaust pipe lights.

There is a certain charm to them.

The abandoned exhausts are now
stylish chrome lights.

£40 was spent on fittings, and £70
on the electrician to fit them.

I'd say £75 for the single ones,
and £125 for the double.

And that is a profit of £165.

OK, let's talk settle, pew pew, settle.

Yes, yeah. It is pine.
And you have restored it nicely.

The blue is bang on trend.

Nice hooks, or handles, rather.

Only £10 was spent on paint
and sandpaper,

to give the settle a tiptop finish.

I would say £300.

Very nice, yes. OK, Vince,
I genuinely have sold it,

rather than a valuation, at £270.

Despite selling the bench £30
under the valuation,

the settle has still made a profit
of £260.

Let's talk about bikes, shall we?

ZRX1100 rocket ship, thank you, Alicia.

Yeah, it's a macho bike, isn't it?

The neglected Superbike is back
to its former glory after £700
was spent on new parts.

You have done a lot of work to it.

So I was going to go in a valuation
at £2,000,

but because of all the work, £2,200.

So that is a whopping profit
of £1,500.

In total, you are taking home 3,275
of your finest British pounds.

That is very nice.
How's that, make?

It has been very worthwhile.

So, Henry's choice of location,
the warehouse of Vincent Faithful,

has made a profit of £3225,

but can Simon's location
do better than this?

Overall, they have exceeded
my expectations.

They have put a lot of work in.

Fantastic. Very, very pleased.

Loving it! Coming up, Simon and
Gemma nail their latest projects.

Both of these items, I think,

demonstrate absolutely perfectly
what we do.

And Henry and Guy
are feeling the love.

Right, give us a hug. Happy days.

Is that it?

Simon O'Brien and Henry Cole are
turning neglected possessions

into cold hard cash.

That's beautiful.

Henry's choice of location made
£3,275 for Vincent Faithfull.

That's very nice. How's that, mate?
Yeah, it's been very worthwhile.

But will Simon's rummage spot, the
Hampshire pub owned by Jay Chapman,

possibly top that total?

In Liverpool, Simon's restorer Gemma

is making the finishing touches
to their items.

First, the '50s dining table,

to which she is applying
some gold leaf.

I do love a bit of gold leaf.

At £20 for 25 sheets, gold leaf is pricey,

but Gemma thinks it's worth it.

Next, she cracks on with finishing
the sewing box.

First, Gemma has made a cushion top
for the lid.

Next, she sets about creating a pin cushion

for the underside of the lid.

To hide her staples, she uses a hot
glue gun to attach braiding.

But what will Simon make of her
handiwork?

Loving it. Do you love them?

Honestly, both of these items, I think,

demonstrate absolutely perfectly
what we do.

In Oxfordshire, and after destroying
the larger of two ship's wheels...

Problem solved. You need some anger
management, you do.

...Guy's been busy secretly rescuing it.

But first, they have to finish off

turning the little's ship's wheel
into a feature mirror.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's
the fairest of them all?

Don't start that. Me.

You've been quite busy in your workshop.

Yes, it's a surprise.

Right, come on, keep it in the middle.

As the glass is light,

they only need to bond it with some
fast-setting epoxy resin.

And half an hour later...

That's not bad, is it?

Just not my thing at all, in any way.

Mirror done, Henry can move on.

Locked and with no key,

the old safe needed a safe-cracker
to save the day.

Fantastic, mate, thank you so much.

Brilliant. Any time.

Now a final buff-up for the brass

and a polish of the old patina paint

and the job's done.

Man, I think that looks lovely.

And the best thing about it is, it works.

I can't wait to show Guy, whenever
he turns up.

Well, Guy's been busy preparing his
secret plans

for what remains of the
big ship's wheel.

Wait there. Don't look yet, I'll
tell you when you can look.

I'm not going to look. Right, stay there.

Now, I hope it works.

Now. That's great, man.

I know you like a squirrel cage.

I'm always up for a bit of a cage, son.

All right, give us a hug. Happy days.

Happy days.

But will it stay this happy, as it
is time for the final valuation?

Jay Chapman's new pub was full of
old rubbish he needed clearing.

He's raising money to fund a youth
football team.

Will he be pleased with Henry and
Simon's makeovers?

How are you? All right?

Good to see you. How are you, man?

How are you, all right?
Nice to see you.

Well, have a look. Whoa, excellent.

Go and have a look, mate. Brilliant.

Excellent. The safe looks good.

You found a key, then? Well, there's
a big story there, Jay,

let me tell you. Not half as big as
the ship's wheel.

Come and join us, mate. What do you
think?

Mate, really, really nice.
Better than what they looked like.

Good, I'm glad you liked the items,
but have we made you any money?

Well, to help us with that,

we are now joined by our independent
valuer, Alicia.

Hi, how are you? Nice to
meet you.

Alicia's back to value the latest
assortment of restorations.

Now, Alicia. Go on, then. Shall we
talk with the safe,

because I reckon it's a safe bet.

Yeah, lovely little safe.

The handle is charming.

The locksmith only charged £50 to
pick the old lock

and supply a pair of new keys.

You could easily expect to
get £200.

Bingo. Nice. I've sold it for 200 quid.

Fantastic.

A safe profit of 150 quid.

Let's talk about ship's wheels,
shall we?

We'll start with the small one.

I think it is probably appropriate
for a children's room.

The small ship's wheel has been
turned into a mirror

for just £10 spent on glass.

I would say you could easily expect
to get about £20 for it.

So that's a £10 profit for the
small wheel...

Let's talk about the lamp.

Yeah, I think you've done a good job.

It sort of lends itself to a bit
of a steam punk vibe.

...while the remnants of the smashed
big ship's wheel

were converted to a brass table lamp,

costing £10 for an Edison bulb
and electrical fittings.

You could easily achieve £50 for that.

Together, the old ship's wheels
turned a profit of £50.

Let's start with a kind of 1950s
style gold leafed table.

Lovely. My favourite, Art Deco.

It cost £25 for gold leaf and paint

to bring the '50s Art Deco table
back from the brink.

I think you could, for a quick sale,
I'd say £150.

That's a profit of £125 for the
dining table.

Talk to us about that lovely little
sewing box.

Yeah, I think it's brilliant.

The total cost of saving the
Victorian sewing box

was a mere 15 quid for materials.

I would happily put £80
price tag on that.

I have actually sold it.

I've sold it for £70.

Perfect. There you go.

Slightly under the valuation,

but still raising £55 for Jay's
football team.

You are taking home with you
today, £380.

How about that? That's a result, I think.

Brilliant, isn't it? Absolutely,
thank you very much indeed.

So, Simon's choice of location has
raised £380 from Jay's junk.

Really, really pleased with the result.

Ten out of ten. Well done, guys.

Thank you very much indeed.
Very happy.

But it's not done as well as Henry's
choice of location,

the sheds owned by
Vincent Faithfull,

which raised a whopping £3,275.

It's not fair. I finally succumb
to the petrol-head way,

and I made you £1,400.

That's not fair. Hey, we could both
make like motorbikes.

Ready?
