Find It Fix It Flog It (2016-2022): Season 3, Episode 17 - Episode #3.17 - full transcript
Oh, my God.
The sheds, garages and barns of Britain
are stacked with old possessions.
This is heaven, mate,
I mean that's the only way to
describe it, isn't it?
What looks like valueless junk
could be worth a pretty penny.
I've just fallen in love.
Man, that's gorgeous.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brian
reckon they can fix this redundant rubbish...
...and, once restored,
sell for a profit.
That's immense, mate!
For Henry and his mechanic...
That's it!
...it's all about restoring
retro relics and vintage classics.
Oh, my God, it goes!
While Simon and his upcycler
repurpose the unwanted
into fantastic furniture.
Oh, my word, that is amazing!
Have a look, what do you reckon?
I think it's remarkable,
it's breathtaking.
All right! Hey!
They may have different approaches,
but together they'll turn a profit
for the owners.
You're going home, mate, with
6,220 quid, how does that sound?
That sounds brilliant!
Today, Henry's feeling affectionate...
Get off, get off!
...Simon's got a hungry workforce...
Phil, get out here,
I'm doing a barbecue.
Come on! Yeah, you won't need that
yet. Aw!
...and the boys are doing well
at the valuation.
The price I've been mulling over,
and it keeps going up in my head
all the time,
and I've reached
my maximum now.
The boys are back on the road and
Henry is in a generous mood.
I've got a little treat for you
today, mate.
It already is a treat -
we're up North!
Yes, today the boys are in Lancashire,
near a place called
Martin's Mere,
which is an Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty.
It's really famous around here for
the migrating birds.
Do you know, I've seen a few,
sort of like, you'd call them
flocks of geese? Yeah. Yeah.
For Henry's choice of location,
they will be flocking
to a farm owned by his friend, Nick,
who collects aviation memorabilia.
We excavate the remains
of World War II aircraft.
This shed here is particularly full
of parts.
Hopefully, all to go to
a local museum shortly.
I think I've been collecting junk
for long enough now
and we really need
a bit of room.
Nick, nice to see you,
this is Simon.
Simon, hi, Nick. How are you?
Tell me right, a little birdie has
told me that you're into planes, or?
I dig them up. World War II wrecks, basically.
Honestly? Crashed aircraft, yeah.
OK, how do you get started
digging aeroplanes up?
Some daft beggar did
a documentary about it
when I was little and I was just
absolutely taken by it.
Do you get the metal detector out?
Yes, we have specialist metal
detectors which go down about
30 feet and will detect an engine,
or something large.
It's not just bits of aeroplanes
in your garages and sheds, no?
No. I don't sell the bits of
aeroplanes anyway,
they're strictly history.
Great. And if we do make you money,
Nick, what would you spend it on?
The wife wants the bathroom doing.
Well, hopefully you might get more
than a tap.
Henry and Simon have to find
two items that can be
fixed up and flogged for a profit.
All right, come then.
Is there going to be
a Lancaster Bomber?
Oh, there's lots of lovely stuff.
Mate, will you take a look! Oh!
Triumph Herald! Yes, correct. Yeah.
MG. Yeah, absolutely.
It says it there. Yeah? Oh, does it?
OK.
I'll tell you what, mate, that's
got hot rod written all over it.
Yeah, look at that sign over there.
That sign over there.
Well, interestingly,
they are dated.
Woo! Hoo!
He stitched me up
like a kipper.
There before me in Simon's hands
is the most beautiful brass
boat lamp.
It's like taking sweeties
off a kiddie.
We see lots of replicas of these,
but that - that's an original, innit?
The nautical searchlight
is believed to be from
a World War II German torpedo boat
and, when fixed up, could fetch
a pretty penny.
That's beautiful. I've got my first
item. What's the enamel sign like?
It's a little bit broken!
Oh, hang on, I've seen
something else over here.
What's that man?
That's a camper van.
It's a Winnebago, I believe.
It's a Tonka! Yeah.
Yes, boys, you're both right.
This is a Tonka Winnebago
from the early '70s,
based on the classic
Winnebago Brave, released in 1973.
Oh, the lid open... Oh, look,
you've got some tennis balls.
You're thinking about taking this
as an item?
Be quite cool, wouldn't it? Restore
it, give it a new paint job.
What's the... There's a Triumph
Herald, there's an MG... Yeah.
...and you want to take the
very small Winnebago Tonka toy?
Yeah, cos it's cool. I can put
one of me Action Men in there.
You're such a big kid.
You just don't see those kind of
things any more.
I can't wait,
Guy's going to go mad for it.
I think I might have found
my first item.
Mate, I think as long as I can get
the tennis balls with it, I'm in.
Come on. One set all!
Hey, hey!
This Tonka was popular on
both sides of the Atlantic
and is equally popular with Henry.
One item a piece,
the boys head out side to discover
what other vintage delights await.
Oh, it's a slider.
Oh. Oh! Oh, look!
Go on, mate, you can do it. Urgh!
It's lovely.
Your jokes, right, are just getting
a little bit cheesy.
That is so light.
It is incredibly light, because
I guess it's aircraft
and it's made of aluminium.
I also guess that it's my item.
No, no, no, there's a rule.
The rule is if you touch it first,
it's yours.
I think you'll find that I touched
it first, so it's my item.
No, I'll tell you why,
because you threw me a googly
just literally in the last shed.
You know what? What? I'm so pleased
with that lamp, you can have it
with my good grace because I...
Just hold it like that.
No. Get off, get off!
I don't quite know
how I got that off him.
That, I guess, is from
a World War II plane,
but it certainly wasn't
the pilot seat.
It's probably a passenger seat.
Correct, Henry, it belongs to
a World War II training aircraft
called an Avril Anson.
These craft were used to train
the aircrew that would later
man the Wellington
or Lancaster Bombers.
That does mean I've got two items.
Does it?
Oh, it does. What have I done?
With Simon gifting Henry
his final item...
One last shed.
...the heat is on for him
to complete his search.
Oh, now then.
Ah! Man, that's cool. Ah!
Come on out.
You know what time it is?
What? Time for your second item.
Yes, looks that way doesn't it?
Hey listen, I think this is a system
clock. What does that mean?
It means you would have had
several clocks
all run by one central
electrical board.
Oh, OK, so they all told
the same time? Yeah.
These clocks were indeed run off
a synchronous wire system
and could be found on airfields and
in factories or railway stations.
Well, what would you
do with it, man?
Well, I'm going to get it working
again, but I've got another idea.
What? Well, it's not going to end up
back on the wall,
I'll tell you that much.
He'll probably make it worthless.
I'm saying no more, time will tell.
You know what time it is now,
don't you? No.
Time to go and find Nick.
Two items each. Oh, yeah. Come on.
So, the boys have their items - if
Nick's happy for them to be taken.
I start with the clock
on the end there,
am I right it's a system clock?
It is, yes, that one,
as far as I can remember,
came from the old
Burtonwood base.
Now, if it's OK, I'd like to take
that as my first item.
Yes, I've always wanted something
to be done with it.
Now then, talking of seeing. Oh!
Talk to me about the solid brass
searchlight, where's it from?
I bought that on a car-boot sale
in France.
What's it off, do you know?
It's off a torpedo boat.
Is it? Yes, World War II
torpedo boat.
Wow! So that's my second item,
if that's OK?
Yes. That would be good. OK.
Hey, Nick, now look, right,
that incredible seat -
incredible because it's so light.
If it's all right with you,
I would love to do some wondrous
things with that.
Quite a historic piece.
I would like to see it done,
sort of, you know, sympathetic.
It will be, you'll love it.
Now, tell me about your camper van.
I think it was about £1
off a car-boot sale.
Well, look, I'll tell you what,
I want to give it
a new lease of life, really.
Brilliant. Thank you
very much indeed. Thank you so much.
Coming up...
Gemma's impressed...
What about the top
of a coffee table?
Ooh, I like that.
...Henry's shocked
at Simon...
Oh, you can't be serious,
man? Yeah. That's had it!
...and the lamp
is full of surprises.
Oh! Urgh!
Now, I'm no brainbox
by any stretch
of the imagination,
but I'm more or less convinced
World War II
finished in '45!
Oh, come on then.
Simon O'Brien and Henry Cole
are creating money from metal...
Will you take a look?
...and Henry is revealing his finds
to his restoration
partner Guy Willison.
First up, the chair from an Avro
Anson World War II training plane.
Have you felt
how light it is? No.
Oh, that is surprisingly light.
Yeah, this is what I want to do -
get rid of the leather seat,
use it as a template, and
get Paul, our leather man,
to construct a beautiful,
studdy, red replacement
with diamond stitching.
The difficult bit - oh, yes...
HE CLEARS THROAT
...there's polishing
the ally frame.
Discuss. Ooh!
This is very, very corroded.
A lot of this metal's
got to be taken away.
Have a go, see what happens,
then we'll take a view.
Henry's next item is a toy version
of a 1973 Winnebago Indian Brave.
Be quite nice to keep
it original if possible. Yes.
And also, we need to deal with the
corners here. Yes. Do you like it?
Yes. Oh!
I had to think though
but, yes, I think I do.
Look, man, once we've done
the corners and we've re-sprayed it
and it's beautiful again,
I think you love it. Yeah.
I'm only worried about
making money on it.
We won't make any at all.
Oh, OK, well that's all right then.
Guy starts on the chair
by removing the seat.
I think it's very simple,
if I undo this screw
I think it will all slot off.
I'm going to lift off here.
Right there's the template
for Paul the leather man.
The Winnebago has been
sent to a design house
who specialise in customised
motorcycle helmets.
After cleaning off years of grime,
they are repairing the damaged lid
with a fibreglass resin.
Let's get it on there
and let's get it shanked up.
Yep, that's going off already.
After a layer of multi-sanding,
filler is added.
It's sanded and primed and the
patina is created using a scalpel.
Which is a case, although I
don't usually like to say it,
is a trial and error.
Meanwhile, the van is painted
in its original colours,
plus a new re-creation
of its classic Indian branding.
So now, I've cut the stencil out
and this is what were going use
as our mask to paint through
onto the side of the van.
Let's do it!
The newly-painted van
will be delivered to Henry
ready for some finishing touches.
In Liverpool, Simon is
showing his selections
to his upcycler Gemma Longworth.
What do you think? Well, they're
interesting, aren't they?
Let's start with this, yeah?
So, I'm thinking... What about
the top of a coffee table?
Oh, I like that. Glass top.
Get some simple metal
legs made for it.
Yeah, lovely idea.
OK, that's that.
Now, what do you think of this?
Oh, well we've seen
something like this before.
We have, although its provenance
is slightly dubious. OK.
I think it came from German torpedo
boat from the Second World War.
OK. But, it's all brass,
it's beautiful,
clean it up, get it
working, OK. OK.
Simon starts off by designing
a base for the brass lamp.
Right that's the design.
And he dispatches it
to the blacksmith to build,
whilst handyman Phil gets
to grips with the clock.
OK, I need to get this apart,
so I can good scrapie-scrapie!
So, Phil takes it apart,
protecting the face...
...cleans the metal
with an angle grinder
and polishes it up for Gemma.
That looks brilliant.
But he wants it black.
Oh, it seems a shame
to paint that now.
It does, don't it? But
I'm thinking, "Black band."
I definitely do agree with you.
Let's not paint at all, so
it's two against one then. Yes.
Phil sprays the black band
onto the rim of the clock.
And, in Oxfordshire, Henry's
taken delivery of a motorhome.
Aye-aye, let's have a look
at this paint job, eh?
Oh, mate, check this out.
Man, that's come out even better
than I ever thought it would.
That is a fantastic job.
Look at the front, it's a
radiator grill and all that.
Beautiful.
The boys just have to clean
and rebuild the interior.
Across town, Henry has commissioned
leather specialist Paul
to make a new seat for the chair.
The toughest thing about doing
a job like this is getting
the pattern right.
Once the pattern is right, you
know it's going to look good.
Having measured the
different pieces,
Paul sews the piping
and creates the
diamond stitched back.
I think it's going
to look very pretty.
In Liverpool, Simon
is designing again.
This time, the legs
for the clock table.
What I've got in mind is
just a really simple kind
of three-legged iron frame.
With just one little touch,
I'm going to make the
feet mirror the fingers.
While Simon dispatches the design...
That's Ian's design,
let's get it to him.
No time like the present.
...Phil busies himself
with reassembling the clock.
He re-attaches the glass.
And, having attached a working
modern clock mechanism
to the original face, all Phil has
to do is put it all back together.
Do you remember how
look back together?
Yeah, I've just got
to take my time with it. OK.
Well, don't slack, because
you're on the clock!
But that can wait,
as Phil also has a urgent
business with the lamp,
which has just come back
from the blacksmith
with its base attached.
I need to take certain bits off
it and have a good little look.
So...
Jeez, it's heavy!
Oh!
Whilst taking it
apart for polishing,
he notices something peculiar.
Hello, what's this?
Searchlights!
I'm thinking something to do
with Frenchie-wenchie there.
And a date...
24th of the sixth, '66.
Now I'm no brainbox, by
any stretch of the imagination,
but I'm more or less convinced...
...World War II finished in '45.
And as he delves deeper,
this mysterious lamp offers up
some more clues about its origins.
Oh! Huh!
Erm, unless...
Bolton were colluding with
the German's in the 1966 War...
This was made...
...in Bolton, Lancashire, England.
So, the lamp is, in fact,
post-war British,
rather than World War II German.
Never mind, it'll still
polish up beautifully.
But now it's time for
today's second search
at Simon's choice of location.
He's hopped down the road to meet
retired builder and renovator Alan.
In the last 30 years,
I did more renovation
rather than building
and I can't throw things away.
But after a career of collecting,
Alan wants to create some space.
They can take the lot if they want.
Mate, this place
is amazing. Yeah.
We're just outside of Southport
and were going to see a
lovely fella called Alan
who's been collecting
things for 50 years.
Do you think machinery things?
Oh, all sort's of things.
What kinds of things?
Alan, how are you? Hi, how are you
doing? Pleased to meet you.
How are you, mate?
Pleased to meet you.
And so, were you a builder?
I mean, there's load
of stuff around here
all beautifully,
regimentally laid out.
Well, I started in the
building game 55 years ago
and I can't throw things away,
I just bring them back here.
Fantastic, so we
can help, hopefully,
to relieve you of the odd
item. Oh, yes, please.
Now, if we were to make you any
money, what would you spend it on?
We haven't been away this year
and I'd like to
spend it on a holiday.
So, we'll get going and we'll see
later. Lovely, cheers, come on.
Thank you so much, mate.
Enjoy yourself.
So, the boys are off and Simon
soon spots something very old.
Oh, take a seat.
We're not going to
take it, it's too chunky,
because this is bluestone.
It's an igneous rock, right?
But bluestone forms one of the most
famous things in the whole world.
What is it, Henry?
Someone's patio?
What? Stonehenge!
Think about that.
Some people managed to move
the slabs of Stonehenge
140 miles from Wales to
where they stand now. Come on.
You've got to humour Simon,
like he humours me
when I tell him a little bit
about a motorbike or something.
Oh! Ah!
Onto the next barn.
I think I'm going to do a jump.
But it's Simon who leaps
into his first item.
Oh! Oh! Over to you.
I can see it, mate.
Oh, not over to you.
Oh, it's a pew.
So, is that what
they are, pews? Yeah.
They look like some little
Methodist chapel, aren't they?
because, you can see each one
has only got one pew end.
What does that mean?
It means they were
built into the wall.
So, they'd only fashion
the ends for one end.
Do you like these?
I love them.
Yeah, great, are
you going to have one? Yes.
Are you to sort out
which end to have?
I'll tell you what, man, Si
is the man to sort that out.
And he's going to
make Alan some money.
Would you keep it that length?
I don't know.
What you mean you don't know?
Listen, my prayers have been
answered. I've got a first item.
Simon's first item is in the
bag and he soon spots another.
Past the land drains.
What we're you saying "Ooh" about?
Past the troughs, look.
That's nice. I mean, I can see
what you going to do with it.
Not that - this!
Oh, you can't be serious, man.
That has seen better days.
It has, but it's lovely
though in itself, isn't it?
Simon's spotted a cast
iron range cooker.
They were common from Victorian
times until the 1930s,
when electric or
gas ovens took over.
That's had it!
No, no, no this is solid.
This is cast iron.
Nothing wrong with that.
A bit of rust, surface rust.
Do you know what? I've got an idea.
If we just raise it up
a little bit, right,
and put in barbecue in here.
Oh! So you've got barbecue
with its own flue.
Cool!
Range barbecue.
Oh, listen, wow, I'm on fire!
See what I did there?
Range, two items to me.
That is, man, a shocker.
In my head, I have a picture
of how it could work.
Two problems with that.
I don't know how to do it
and I don't know how
much it will cost.
Two items down and Henry's
barely had a sniff.
Yeah, don't go on
about it, all right?
So, desperate times call
for desperate searches.
Anyway, look, we do have
one more shed to go,
which looks like a small house,
but actually it's a workshop.
Here's one for you.
Oh, ya-ya-ha! Oh, that's beautiful.
There you go.
Oh, what's that?
Local hero, a man after
your own heart, Henry.
Joseph Livesey.
Yeah, pioneer of total abstinence.
He formed the teetotallers he was
from Preston, just up the road.
Do you know why they were
called teetotallers?
I have not got a clue. Urban myth
has it,
that Livesey had a slight stammer.
So, when he was addressing
the crowd he said,
"What we need is t...
...total abstinence."
At his right-hand man, realising
everyone was starting to snigger
said, "That's right,
teetotal abstinence!"
And made it sound like
he done it on purpose,
and that's where
teetotallers comes from.
Is that original?
Because it feels it.
It's definitely original, isn't it?
Cos it also feels like it's wrapped
up and ready to go, mate.
So, Henry's passed on the plaque,
which is in too good a condition...
HE CLEARS THROAT
Hang on.
...quite unlike the next
items to catch his eye.
Lovely pair of cans, mate.
Hey, what do you reckon?
For an ultimate petrolhead,
you're sitting in bed,
you think to yourself,
"Ooh, I'll just switch
the light off."
And then you go, "Darling, would
you switch the other light off?"
Bedside lamps.
Those two cans,
they're not valuable,
we're not losing a lot
if I do wreck them -
which I won't.
That's one item though, yeah?
Yeah, yeah, no, that's the one.
OK. Carry on! Hmm!
Right, I'm venturing
upstairs son, OK.
Henry's taking a chance on the cans.
So he needs a safer bet
for his second item.
Oh!
Feast your eyes, son.
I know what you're laughing about,
but you know I love a trestle table.
They're a perfect example of
something that really,
with just a little bit of love,
you can make serious money.
Mate, we're holding, folding.
I've got two items.
Henry reckons the table
will easily make three
figures for Alan's holiday.
But what will Al make
of the rest of their picks?
Starting with the pews.
Well, they come out of
a Methodist church in Preston.
Well, you've rescued them and now
I'm going to give them
some love. Brilliant.
Mate.... I have to say, as
it's displayed on the trolley,
I'm thinking I should just
take the trolley instead.
It's worth good money,
the trolley, man, I will say.
But where did that come from?
That come out of
Joseph Livesey's house.
Did it? Preston, yes.
As in the plaque that was
in there as well? Yeah.
It's got history, mate. Yes,
it's got... It's got provenance.
And now I'm going to give you
one last chance and I'm thinking
about turning it into a
fancy barbecue of some sort.
HENRY LAUGHS
What? Why's everyone laughing?
So, what do you think?
Good luck!
Alan? Yes.
I, hopefully, am the rationale here.
Let's talk glorious two-gallon
petrol cans, shall we?
Yes. I'm going to create some
beautiful bedside lamps.
You said that he was mad.
But I promise you, mate,
I'm going to make you
some money out of those.
Hopefully, he'll be convinced
with the next item.
Tell me about that
glorious trestle table.
That's my paste table.
OK, it's not any more,
if that's OK? Yes.
Great, mate, because I'll tell you
what, it's going to be beautiful.
So, overall, Alan,
what do you think?
I'm watching this space!
I think you should, mate!
Thanks very much indeed.
It was a pleasure to meet you.
Absolute pleasure. Coming up...
Gemma reads Simon the riot act.
Have you got mad?
Well there's more, by the way.
Oh, great! Yeah!
Henry's signing up
for Queen and country.
British craftsmen and women
are very much alive today.
And it's thumbs up at the valuation.
Hi, lovely items by the way.
Brilliant, thank you.
Yeah, I think they look great.
Restorer Henry Cole
and upcycler Simon O'Brien
are turning rubbish into readies.
I think I'm going to do a jump.
They both picked two items
each from Alan's place.
And Simon is back in Liverpool
showing off his picks
to restorer Gemma.
Have you gone mad?
Well, there's more by the way.
Oh, great. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Brilliant.
The other bits aren't
as good as this.
Oh, great, this is the good stuff.
Look, I've got an idea
for this, I want to make
it into a crazy barbecue.
OK. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah?
Simon's also picked
a pair of pews from a church.
What I'm thinking is to use
these two as a donor
to make one beautiful bench.
Good plan. OK? Yeah. OK.
What are you thinking, colour?
Well, yeah, let me have a think.
Definitely on board with this,
yeah, yeah.
OK. Good, well I guess you're going
concentrate on this? Yeah.
Yes, definitely, I'm just going
to put that to the back of my mind.
Oh, I'm not inviting
you to the barbecue, then.
I don't want to come.
I'm not eating anything
off that, don't want to come.
So, Simon cracks on with
the barbecue,
which is one big cast-iron
3-D jigsaw.
Now, that goes there.
And that...
So now I know what I've got,
I can design a new barbecue frame.
So Simon has to design a new frame
to hold the old range pieces together.
And order a fire pit
to provide the heat.
Meanwhile, Gemma works on a colour
scheme for the bench.
What are we doing, then? Is it...?
I'm just sorting me colours out,
a deep purple, a maroony,
a dark blue. What?!
Like, deep colours.
All right, I'll do you a deal.
I promise not to interfere
in your colour scheme
at all if you do something for me.
What's that?
Is it a deal?
You're not going
to interfere at all?
No, I promise you. Yeah?
All right then, got a deal.
Is it a deal?
Here you go.
Couldn't clean the rest
of that range for us, could you?
Are you joking?!
SHE SIGHS
I know how Cinderella feels now.
And Simon's no Prince Charming.
While Cinders scrubs, Simon needs
to remove an end from one pew
to attach to the other.
OK, time to go up a gear.
How are you getting on, Simon?
That didn't do it.
That nearly did it.
Going to get something else.
Desperate times call for power
tools and a wood saw.
Easy.
In Oxfordshire, Henry's showing Guy
the former pasting table.
Now I reckon all it needs
is a straight sand, wax it,
then, mm, what do we do
with the legs?
Sand them, stain them,
I think it'd look lovely.
Because they're in fairly
good condition,
they're not moth-eaten and horrible.
No, they're in really good nick.
It's just a lovely thing, you know,
I see them all the time
in kind of delicatessens with
nice little,
you know, boxes of fruit
and stuff on them.
How often do you go
to a delicatessen?
Not very often. Next item.
OK. Surprise, surprise,
two petrol cans.
Yeah, now, what I want to do,
because I've always wanted to do this...
Yeah, OK.
...is make a pair of lamps.
But no ordinary lamps, right?
These lamps, you can have,
either in a workshop,
or they're going to be so lovely,
you're probably going to want
them in your sitting room.
I would love, if possible,
to put a lamp here.
So it mirrors this
when this is polished.
No lampshade, just the bulb.
No, I don't think so, I think
it should be just simple,
kind of industrial,
but at the same time,
it will look symmetrical.
So Guy gets started on the cans
by washing them out
to ensure they're not ignited
by any drill sparks.
So now the time has come to mount
these light fittings.
So it's going to be a bit fiddly,
so I'm going to drill the holes,
put the screws in,
check they're all OK.
Then disassemble and send it to Daz.
So once the fittings are drilled out
and fixed,
they can go off to Daz
to be powder coated.
Guy moves on to the pasting table
which Henry wishes to sell
as a profitable display unit.
It's one of my favourite things
to do
because all it needs
is a really good sanding all over,
and then wax it
and then polish it.
And it will look beautiful.
So Guy can sand away
to his heart's content.
In Liverpool,
whilst awaiting delivery of
the fire pit for the range,
Simon is getting busy
spraying an undercoat
of fireproof paint,
before working out exactly
how to build his barbecue.
Phil, get out here
I'm doing a barbecue.
Come on.
Yeah, you won't need that yet.
HE SIGHS
Not funny, mate.
I'm starving as well.
You will need them.
OK.
Look, frame, then we're going to put
the old range in it.
We're going to make
the coolest barbecue ever.
First thing, cut...
The boys work together to cut
the pieces down to size.
And whilst Phil joins the frame together,
Simon moves inside
to attend to the bench.
Got a new tenon joint cut here,
all I have to do now
is cut the top rail back.
And it should, in theory, slide on.
So a bit of persistence
and lots of hammering.
And our pew is complete.
This allows Gemma free rein to
paint the bench
in the winter theme of blues, greens
and purples,
topped off with some detail
at the ends.
Well, there we go.
Those colours are looking
a touch more vibrant
than I thought they would.
But once the wood dyes on, I think
it's going to bring it all together.
Outside, Simon is taking delivery
of the newly constructed fire pits
for the barbecue.
I hope it fits.
All he has to so is slot
it into the newly constructed frame.
Will definitely fit.
But I've got to take all
the top off.
HE LAUGHS
Spanner, spanner.
So Simon undoes all of
Phil's hard work.
And when it still gets stuck, improvises.
Knew it'd fit, easy.
In Oxfordshire, the cans are back,
complete with a new paint job.
The petrol cans have come back
from Bobby Dazzler, in the colour
Henry wanted, this sort
of lilac purple.
I've got another purple cable.
So, what I've got to do,
is get this cable
in there and out there.
That is not going to be easy.
After a couple of failed attempts...
I don't know how
I'm going to do this.
...Guy has a brainwave...
Just got to bend that
at 90 degrees, really.
...using a dummy cable
to lead his cable through.
I've got a bicycle brake cable,
I've stripped this wire back,
crimped it on,
hopefully, it's in there
tight enough
not to come out
when I pull this through.
Keep your fingers crossed
this wire doesn't come out.
It might do.
But hopefully, if I can keep
the tension off it...
There we go.
Perfect.
So Guy attaches the light bracket,
the newly polished caps
and finally the bulb,
before testing out his handiwork.
They look lovely.
With the lamps lit, Guy
is finishing the trestle table
by applying a layer of wax.
As you can see, when you put
this on,
it does go quite a bit darker.
Which is what I want,
but if I put some stain in it,
it would have been too dark.
So I think this is spot on.
Finally, out comes the buffer to add
a shine to the old table.
In Liverpool, Simon's first items
are being finished off.
First up, Simon's design for a pair
of matching legs for the clock
has been realised by the blacksmith.
The clock table is being put together,
and I'm pretty pleased with it.
I think Simon is going to love it.
And it's half past 12,
that's time for lunch.
Simon is busy putting the final
touches to the searchlight lamp.
Gemma?
Wow, look at this!
Gemma, let me light up your life.
Oh, that is fantastic.
Brilliant, isn't it?
It really is.
I have to say, Phil has worked
tirelessly on this.
Well done, Phil.
Well, I designed the base.
Phil done the work.
I drew a picture, though.
Well done, Simon.
I've got a light now if I need to
draw another one as well.
In Oxfordshire, Henry's also admiring
the newly reupholstered chair
from today's first search.
Now, look right.
I say.
Is that it?
Well, it's all right, isn't it?
Is that all you're going to say?
Look at it.
Ooh, careful, careful!
I mean...
You're over the moon, aren't you?
Aren't you?
Yeah, it's all right.
Come on, let's have
a decent look at it. Eh?
I mean, that is a work of art.
Just how I imagined it to be.
Hey, but I tell you
what it does show,
that British craftsmen and women... Mm.
...are very much alive today.
But there's no time to rest
on those laurels, boys,
as there's a Winnebago to finish.
There you go, you're in.
There you go, look at that.
The boys add the Perspex
for the windows.
Go on!
That's it.
Henry slides in the interior...
You're doing quite well.
...adds in the details...
Steering wheel.
...and finally, they're ready
to add the renovated roof.
Watch your windscreen.
And after a bit of a fiddle,
we have one winning Winnebago.
Oh, that really is cool.
That's something worth saving,
isn't it?
It is. Eh? Yeah.
Oh, happy days, man.
Lovely little thing.
But will Henry have a happy
day at the valuation?
Aviation collector Nick who wants
some money for a new bathroom
is back to take a look.
Hey, Nick.
How are you, mate?
Good to see you.
Good to see you again.
Lovely to see you.
Well, Nick, feast your eyes,
go and have a look.
See what you reckon. Right.
I almost don't
recognise that at all.
Wow...
What do you reckon
on the seat, Nick?
That is very, very nice.
Thank you.
Come and join us, eh?
So, Nick, what do you reckon?
It's more than just sort of fettling
them up for a quick sale.
It's really nicely restored items.
I'm thrilled that you like it,
but have we made you any money?
Well, Adam, our valuer, is here.
With two decades' experience,
auction house owner Adam Partridge
can accurately value anything.
Hi - lovely items, by the way.
Brilliant! Thank you!
Yeah! I think they look great.
OK, mate, lets spend
a moment in time
talking about the little table there.
Yeah, you won't find
another, will you?
You won't.
It's in fully working
order, I can tell you.
The discarded clock was turned
into a table
after £80 was spent on the legs.
I think it's quirky and fun
and creative, and £125-worth.
That ticks up a £45 profit.
OK, now talk to me, then,
about the searchlight,
which we actually found out, mate,
when we took the back off it,
it's not Second World War.
Oh, right.
It's late '50s, early '60s,
believed to be off a fire engine.
And I think it
turned out fabulously.
Yeah, I think it did.
It does look good.
The rusty lamp was polished
up and wired as a light for £60.
The price I've been mulling over,
and it keeps going up in my head
all the time,
and I've reached my maximum now...
Go on.
£300.
Shining brightly for a £240 profit.
Hey, look, now we're on a roll.
Yeah.
Let's sit down, shall w?
And enjoy the aircraft seat.
What a wonderful thing, isn't it?
Well, it is a wonderful thing, mate.
And you've done a no-expense-spared
job on this one,
like a bit prestige finish.
It really was no expense spared,
as the seat upholstering cost £400.
I wouldn't like to see it sold cheaply
so I'm going to suggest £600.
The chair's flying high
with a £200 profit.
OK.
Now, here we have a lovely original
Tonka Toy camper van.
Go on, then.
It's pleasing, isn't it?
I'd never thought I'd see
it looking like that.
It clearly looks as though
it's had a lot spent on it.
The cost of re-spraying this classic
camper was £100.
I would suggest the old - 180!
The Winnebago drives into the sunset
with an £80 profit.
So with all our costs taken
out, Nick,
total money you're taking home is
565 quid.
That's going to go some way
towards getting the bathroom done.
So that's £565 profit
for Nick to take away.
I think Simon and Henry done
really well with the items.
They are items that I wanted to see
something done with,
and it's happened.
Coming up - Simon's barbecue
plans go up in smoke.
I was getting the coals
and lighting the barbecue -
you were getting
the sausages and the burgers.
I never said I was going to do that.
YOU did.
And at the valuation,
Adam is suitably impressed.
Nice little, quaint kitchen
cottage table, isn't it?
Good waxed finish -
shows the natural work.
I think that's very pleasant.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien
are turning rubbish into readies.
Oh, it's a slider! Oh, look!
Henry's choice of location
made £565 for Nick.
That's going to come some way
towards getting the bathroom done.
So, Simon's trying to beat
it with his choice of rummage spot.
In Liverpool, Gemma's
finishing off the church pew.
The last thing to do
on the pew is the wood dye.
I want this nice and dark,
so I'm going to put plenty on.
Wood dye usually retails
for about £10
and is a great way
to add a dark finish.
The wood dye is on.
It's brought that wood up lovely.
It's merged all those colours together
and I love it.
But the big question is, is Simon
going to love it too?
But Simon's too busy
to look at the bench now,
as he has a barbecue to serve.
He's turned the rubble of a range
cooker into a smoking hot barbecue
and it's time to reap the rewards.
Gemma! Have a look at this.
Told you it would work and look,
look, that's for keeping all your...
...there you go, keep
everything warm in there.
Very nice. All fully functional.
I'm quite surprised, actually.
Right, OK, well, it's getting
dark and it's raining,
so where's the food?
No, no, no.
I was getting the coals and lighting
the barbecue,
you were getting the sausages and
the burgers.
Simon, no. I never said I was going
to do that, you did.
I lit the barbecue!
That was my...
Oh! We've got no food? No.
And it is going to rain
as well, isn't it? I'm starving.
Shall we go to the chippy? Yeah.
In Oxfordshire, Henry
is readying his final finds.
Well, mate, look, I've got to tell you...
...they are different.
Very different! Well, they're not,
they're identical, actually.
What were the options on the purple?
Don't you like it?
I like it... Hmm.
...but I'd have preferred them just
slightly darker.
So, do you not like them,
or do you like them?
Mate, they're a petrol
can, I love them.
And I'll tell you what, once
these stickers are on,
they'll look great.
Pratts was an oil and petrol distributor
from the early 20th century.
Three, two, one, go!
What do you think?
Yeah, yeah, that'll do.
That's all right.
I can tell you're not over the moon,
I'm surprised with your addiction
for cans.
I love them, I'd just like for them
to be a little bit darker.
But, other than that, mate,
you've done a great job. Thank you.
And your part of the job
has gone beautifully.
Shining with success, Guy moves
on to showing Henry his table work.
That's lovely.
It's come out really well.
This widens the spectrum of punter.
And Henry is well-placed
to put his theory to the test,
as he is attempting to sell
the table
to a fellow wood
enthusiast and deli owner.
Kim, I don't want you to get excited
too much about this.
I like it, it's good.
Now, look, I do really
want 150 quid for it.
I was hoping to pay a little bit
less, to be honest. OK.
125.
All righty.
All right, darling, brilliant.
But how will Henry's wheeler dealing
go down at the valuation?
Alan is after a holiday,
but will the boys' restoration
leave him sunbathing or burnt?
Alan. Hello! Good to see you.
How are you? You all right?
Long time no see, mate.
How are you mate?
Very well. Good to see you.
Good to see you.
Is it good to see that lot?
Go and have a look!
That is one crazy revolution.
I tell you what, I am amazed.
Yeah, it's all a bit crazy, I like
it. What do you think?
Well, I was trying to work it out
in my head what you'd do with that
and I am really surprised.
We've had a go on the old barbecue.
Yeah?
Although Gemma did forget to get
the sausages, though. Did she?
Yeah. But, anyway, have we made
you any money?
Well, joining us is our valuer, Adam.
Adam's back to run his eye
over the boys' work.
Well, it looks good,
pair of Pratts there.
What, here?
See what he did there?
Trying to be subtle.
Shall I start, then? Yeah. OK mate.
Well, let's talk about our
nice pair of cans then. Yeah.
Nice colour, it's not your usual
colour, looks lilac,
it's a bit of a feminine side, there.
Well, the whole point of it being
slightly on the feminine side,
perhaps, is that we could take
a man cave item
and bring it into the house.
It cost just £80 to paint and
wire up these rusty cans
into a pair of table lamps.
I reckon a price of £60 each,
making £120 for the pair.
That's £40 profit on the cans.
OK, well, let's go from that
to the pasting table,
which I don't think
is a pasting table any more.
Not any more, it's a nice little,
quaint kitchen cottage table,
isn't it? Good waxed finish, shows
the natural wood.
I think that's very pleasant.
Nothing was spent on this
sympathetic restoration.
I don't think you will want to paste
on that any more,
not with the price tag of £120 on
it. Ooh, mate, OK.
Well, look, I actually have flogged
it for just about that, 125.
So, that's a very sturdy £125
profit.
OK, moving on.
I'll go jump in with the pew.
Yeah! Well, it's very big.
I might have made it a bit smaller
to make it maybe more commercial,
but I like what you've done with it.
However, it cost a very commercial
zero pounds
to restore and paint
with leftover samples.
And it's a sensitive painting.
Erm, 200.
OK, I've sold it, mate, for 190.
Hallelujah, the pew made £190.
Now then. They laughed, you know,
they laughed, Adam, when I picked
up the rusty old range.
What do you think
of my range barbecue?
How many bits was it in?
In many, many, many bits.
Uncountable, mate. Really?
Yeah. Well, I'm very impressed then.
Well, I like what you've done
there, it's a good job.
It's brilliant.
I think that would work now
in an outdoor context, wouldn't it,
as a barbecue and it's a functional
piece as well, isn't it?
Yeah, absolutely, completely.
For an apparently useless collection
of old parts,
it only cost £150 to put it together
and re-purpose it as a barbecue.
I like it very much.
I think you'd struggle to buy
that for less than £350, really.
I think it's a really nice thing.
So, that's a £200 profit
the range has cooked up.
This displays us at our
best actually, Henry.
I agree with you, mate.
I think they're lovely.
I think they're all -
every single one is perfect.
Nice one, mate.
And you're going home with £555.
How does that sound?
Very, very good.
So Simon's choice of barn
has re-claimed £555 for Alan.
I think Simon and Henry
have done very, very well.
Every single item is unbelievable.
But with Henry's choice of location
making 565,
he's today's winner by just £10.
Small, but perfectly formed
victory, in my opinion.
But still a victory.
Yeah, yeah, OK, I'll give you that.
But I don't care what you say, I am
so proud of what I did
to that rusty old range.
No-one thought I could do
anything with that.
Yeah, I have to admit, you're right.
Fancy a barbecue? Come on.
Subtitles by Red Bee Media
The sheds, garages and barns of Britain
are stacked with old possessions.
This is heaven, mate,
I mean that's the only way to
describe it, isn't it?
What looks like valueless junk
could be worth a pretty penny.
I've just fallen in love.
Man, that's gorgeous.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brian
reckon they can fix this redundant rubbish...
...and, once restored,
sell for a profit.
That's immense, mate!
For Henry and his mechanic...
That's it!
...it's all about restoring
retro relics and vintage classics.
Oh, my God, it goes!
While Simon and his upcycler
repurpose the unwanted
into fantastic furniture.
Oh, my word, that is amazing!
Have a look, what do you reckon?
I think it's remarkable,
it's breathtaking.
All right! Hey!
They may have different approaches,
but together they'll turn a profit
for the owners.
You're going home, mate, with
6,220 quid, how does that sound?
That sounds brilliant!
Today, Henry's feeling affectionate...
Get off, get off!
...Simon's got a hungry workforce...
Phil, get out here,
I'm doing a barbecue.
Come on! Yeah, you won't need that
yet. Aw!
...and the boys are doing well
at the valuation.
The price I've been mulling over,
and it keeps going up in my head
all the time,
and I've reached
my maximum now.
The boys are back on the road and
Henry is in a generous mood.
I've got a little treat for you
today, mate.
It already is a treat -
we're up North!
Yes, today the boys are in Lancashire,
near a place called
Martin's Mere,
which is an Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty.
It's really famous around here for
the migrating birds.
Do you know, I've seen a few,
sort of like, you'd call them
flocks of geese? Yeah. Yeah.
For Henry's choice of location,
they will be flocking
to a farm owned by his friend, Nick,
who collects aviation memorabilia.
We excavate the remains
of World War II aircraft.
This shed here is particularly full
of parts.
Hopefully, all to go to
a local museum shortly.
I think I've been collecting junk
for long enough now
and we really need
a bit of room.
Nick, nice to see you,
this is Simon.
Simon, hi, Nick. How are you?
Tell me right, a little birdie has
told me that you're into planes, or?
I dig them up. World War II wrecks, basically.
Honestly? Crashed aircraft, yeah.
OK, how do you get started
digging aeroplanes up?
Some daft beggar did
a documentary about it
when I was little and I was just
absolutely taken by it.
Do you get the metal detector out?
Yes, we have specialist metal
detectors which go down about
30 feet and will detect an engine,
or something large.
It's not just bits of aeroplanes
in your garages and sheds, no?
No. I don't sell the bits of
aeroplanes anyway,
they're strictly history.
Great. And if we do make you money,
Nick, what would you spend it on?
The wife wants the bathroom doing.
Well, hopefully you might get more
than a tap.
Henry and Simon have to find
two items that can be
fixed up and flogged for a profit.
All right, come then.
Is there going to be
a Lancaster Bomber?
Oh, there's lots of lovely stuff.
Mate, will you take a look! Oh!
Triumph Herald! Yes, correct. Yeah.
MG. Yeah, absolutely.
It says it there. Yeah? Oh, does it?
OK.
I'll tell you what, mate, that's
got hot rod written all over it.
Yeah, look at that sign over there.
That sign over there.
Well, interestingly,
they are dated.
Woo! Hoo!
He stitched me up
like a kipper.
There before me in Simon's hands
is the most beautiful brass
boat lamp.
It's like taking sweeties
off a kiddie.
We see lots of replicas of these,
but that - that's an original, innit?
The nautical searchlight
is believed to be from
a World War II German torpedo boat
and, when fixed up, could fetch
a pretty penny.
That's beautiful. I've got my first
item. What's the enamel sign like?
It's a little bit broken!
Oh, hang on, I've seen
something else over here.
What's that man?
That's a camper van.
It's a Winnebago, I believe.
It's a Tonka! Yeah.
Yes, boys, you're both right.
This is a Tonka Winnebago
from the early '70s,
based on the classic
Winnebago Brave, released in 1973.
Oh, the lid open... Oh, look,
you've got some tennis balls.
You're thinking about taking this
as an item?
Be quite cool, wouldn't it? Restore
it, give it a new paint job.
What's the... There's a Triumph
Herald, there's an MG... Yeah.
...and you want to take the
very small Winnebago Tonka toy?
Yeah, cos it's cool. I can put
one of me Action Men in there.
You're such a big kid.
You just don't see those kind of
things any more.
I can't wait,
Guy's going to go mad for it.
I think I might have found
my first item.
Mate, I think as long as I can get
the tennis balls with it, I'm in.
Come on. One set all!
Hey, hey!
This Tonka was popular on
both sides of the Atlantic
and is equally popular with Henry.
One item a piece,
the boys head out side to discover
what other vintage delights await.
Oh, it's a slider.
Oh. Oh! Oh, look!
Go on, mate, you can do it. Urgh!
It's lovely.
Your jokes, right, are just getting
a little bit cheesy.
That is so light.
It is incredibly light, because
I guess it's aircraft
and it's made of aluminium.
I also guess that it's my item.
No, no, no, there's a rule.
The rule is if you touch it first,
it's yours.
I think you'll find that I touched
it first, so it's my item.
No, I'll tell you why,
because you threw me a googly
just literally in the last shed.
You know what? What? I'm so pleased
with that lamp, you can have it
with my good grace because I...
Just hold it like that.
No. Get off, get off!
I don't quite know
how I got that off him.
That, I guess, is from
a World War II plane,
but it certainly wasn't
the pilot seat.
It's probably a passenger seat.
Correct, Henry, it belongs to
a World War II training aircraft
called an Avril Anson.
These craft were used to train
the aircrew that would later
man the Wellington
or Lancaster Bombers.
That does mean I've got two items.
Does it?
Oh, it does. What have I done?
With Simon gifting Henry
his final item...
One last shed.
...the heat is on for him
to complete his search.
Oh, now then.
Ah! Man, that's cool. Ah!
Come on out.
You know what time it is?
What? Time for your second item.
Yes, looks that way doesn't it?
Hey listen, I think this is a system
clock. What does that mean?
It means you would have had
several clocks
all run by one central
electrical board.
Oh, OK, so they all told
the same time? Yeah.
These clocks were indeed run off
a synchronous wire system
and could be found on airfields and
in factories or railway stations.
Well, what would you
do with it, man?
Well, I'm going to get it working
again, but I've got another idea.
What? Well, it's not going to end up
back on the wall,
I'll tell you that much.
He'll probably make it worthless.
I'm saying no more, time will tell.
You know what time it is now,
don't you? No.
Time to go and find Nick.
Two items each. Oh, yeah. Come on.
So, the boys have their items - if
Nick's happy for them to be taken.
I start with the clock
on the end there,
am I right it's a system clock?
It is, yes, that one,
as far as I can remember,
came from the old
Burtonwood base.
Now, if it's OK, I'd like to take
that as my first item.
Yes, I've always wanted something
to be done with it.
Now then, talking of seeing. Oh!
Talk to me about the solid brass
searchlight, where's it from?
I bought that on a car-boot sale
in France.
What's it off, do you know?
It's off a torpedo boat.
Is it? Yes, World War II
torpedo boat.
Wow! So that's my second item,
if that's OK?
Yes. That would be good. OK.
Hey, Nick, now look, right,
that incredible seat -
incredible because it's so light.
If it's all right with you,
I would love to do some wondrous
things with that.
Quite a historic piece.
I would like to see it done,
sort of, you know, sympathetic.
It will be, you'll love it.
Now, tell me about your camper van.
I think it was about £1
off a car-boot sale.
Well, look, I'll tell you what,
I want to give it
a new lease of life, really.
Brilliant. Thank you
very much indeed. Thank you so much.
Coming up...
Gemma's impressed...
What about the top
of a coffee table?
Ooh, I like that.
...Henry's shocked
at Simon...
Oh, you can't be serious,
man? Yeah. That's had it!
...and the lamp
is full of surprises.
Oh! Urgh!
Now, I'm no brainbox
by any stretch
of the imagination,
but I'm more or less convinced
World War II
finished in '45!
Oh, come on then.
Simon O'Brien and Henry Cole
are creating money from metal...
Will you take a look?
...and Henry is revealing his finds
to his restoration
partner Guy Willison.
First up, the chair from an Avro
Anson World War II training plane.
Have you felt
how light it is? No.
Oh, that is surprisingly light.
Yeah, this is what I want to do -
get rid of the leather seat,
use it as a template, and
get Paul, our leather man,
to construct a beautiful,
studdy, red replacement
with diamond stitching.
The difficult bit - oh, yes...
HE CLEARS THROAT
...there's polishing
the ally frame.
Discuss. Ooh!
This is very, very corroded.
A lot of this metal's
got to be taken away.
Have a go, see what happens,
then we'll take a view.
Henry's next item is a toy version
of a 1973 Winnebago Indian Brave.
Be quite nice to keep
it original if possible. Yes.
And also, we need to deal with the
corners here. Yes. Do you like it?
Yes. Oh!
I had to think though
but, yes, I think I do.
Look, man, once we've done
the corners and we've re-sprayed it
and it's beautiful again,
I think you love it. Yeah.
I'm only worried about
making money on it.
We won't make any at all.
Oh, OK, well that's all right then.
Guy starts on the chair
by removing the seat.
I think it's very simple,
if I undo this screw
I think it will all slot off.
I'm going to lift off here.
Right there's the template
for Paul the leather man.
The Winnebago has been
sent to a design house
who specialise in customised
motorcycle helmets.
After cleaning off years of grime,
they are repairing the damaged lid
with a fibreglass resin.
Let's get it on there
and let's get it shanked up.
Yep, that's going off already.
After a layer of multi-sanding,
filler is added.
It's sanded and primed and the
patina is created using a scalpel.
Which is a case, although I
don't usually like to say it,
is a trial and error.
Meanwhile, the van is painted
in its original colours,
plus a new re-creation
of its classic Indian branding.
So now, I've cut the stencil out
and this is what were going use
as our mask to paint through
onto the side of the van.
Let's do it!
The newly-painted van
will be delivered to Henry
ready for some finishing touches.
In Liverpool, Simon is
showing his selections
to his upcycler Gemma Longworth.
What do you think? Well, they're
interesting, aren't they?
Let's start with this, yeah?
So, I'm thinking... What about
the top of a coffee table?
Oh, I like that. Glass top.
Get some simple metal
legs made for it.
Yeah, lovely idea.
OK, that's that.
Now, what do you think of this?
Oh, well we've seen
something like this before.
We have, although its provenance
is slightly dubious. OK.
I think it came from German torpedo
boat from the Second World War.
OK. But, it's all brass,
it's beautiful,
clean it up, get it
working, OK. OK.
Simon starts off by designing
a base for the brass lamp.
Right that's the design.
And he dispatches it
to the blacksmith to build,
whilst handyman Phil gets
to grips with the clock.
OK, I need to get this apart,
so I can good scrapie-scrapie!
So, Phil takes it apart,
protecting the face...
...cleans the metal
with an angle grinder
and polishes it up for Gemma.
That looks brilliant.
But he wants it black.
Oh, it seems a shame
to paint that now.
It does, don't it? But
I'm thinking, "Black band."
I definitely do agree with you.
Let's not paint at all, so
it's two against one then. Yes.
Phil sprays the black band
onto the rim of the clock.
And, in Oxfordshire, Henry's
taken delivery of a motorhome.
Aye-aye, let's have a look
at this paint job, eh?
Oh, mate, check this out.
Man, that's come out even better
than I ever thought it would.
That is a fantastic job.
Look at the front, it's a
radiator grill and all that.
Beautiful.
The boys just have to clean
and rebuild the interior.
Across town, Henry has commissioned
leather specialist Paul
to make a new seat for the chair.
The toughest thing about doing
a job like this is getting
the pattern right.
Once the pattern is right, you
know it's going to look good.
Having measured the
different pieces,
Paul sews the piping
and creates the
diamond stitched back.
I think it's going
to look very pretty.
In Liverpool, Simon
is designing again.
This time, the legs
for the clock table.
What I've got in mind is
just a really simple kind
of three-legged iron frame.
With just one little touch,
I'm going to make the
feet mirror the fingers.
While Simon dispatches the design...
That's Ian's design,
let's get it to him.
No time like the present.
...Phil busies himself
with reassembling the clock.
He re-attaches the glass.
And, having attached a working
modern clock mechanism
to the original face, all Phil has
to do is put it all back together.
Do you remember how
look back together?
Yeah, I've just got
to take my time with it. OK.
Well, don't slack, because
you're on the clock!
But that can wait,
as Phil also has a urgent
business with the lamp,
which has just come back
from the blacksmith
with its base attached.
I need to take certain bits off
it and have a good little look.
So...
Jeez, it's heavy!
Oh!
Whilst taking it
apart for polishing,
he notices something peculiar.
Hello, what's this?
Searchlights!
I'm thinking something to do
with Frenchie-wenchie there.
And a date...
24th of the sixth, '66.
Now I'm no brainbox, by
any stretch of the imagination,
but I'm more or less convinced...
...World War II finished in '45.
And as he delves deeper,
this mysterious lamp offers up
some more clues about its origins.
Oh! Huh!
Erm, unless...
Bolton were colluding with
the German's in the 1966 War...
This was made...
...in Bolton, Lancashire, England.
So, the lamp is, in fact,
post-war British,
rather than World War II German.
Never mind, it'll still
polish up beautifully.
But now it's time for
today's second search
at Simon's choice of location.
He's hopped down the road to meet
retired builder and renovator Alan.
In the last 30 years,
I did more renovation
rather than building
and I can't throw things away.
But after a career of collecting,
Alan wants to create some space.
They can take the lot if they want.
Mate, this place
is amazing. Yeah.
We're just outside of Southport
and were going to see a
lovely fella called Alan
who's been collecting
things for 50 years.
Do you think machinery things?
Oh, all sort's of things.
What kinds of things?
Alan, how are you? Hi, how are you
doing? Pleased to meet you.
How are you, mate?
Pleased to meet you.
And so, were you a builder?
I mean, there's load
of stuff around here
all beautifully,
regimentally laid out.
Well, I started in the
building game 55 years ago
and I can't throw things away,
I just bring them back here.
Fantastic, so we
can help, hopefully,
to relieve you of the odd
item. Oh, yes, please.
Now, if we were to make you any
money, what would you spend it on?
We haven't been away this year
and I'd like to
spend it on a holiday.
So, we'll get going and we'll see
later. Lovely, cheers, come on.
Thank you so much, mate.
Enjoy yourself.
So, the boys are off and Simon
soon spots something very old.
Oh, take a seat.
We're not going to
take it, it's too chunky,
because this is bluestone.
It's an igneous rock, right?
But bluestone forms one of the most
famous things in the whole world.
What is it, Henry?
Someone's patio?
What? Stonehenge!
Think about that.
Some people managed to move
the slabs of Stonehenge
140 miles from Wales to
where they stand now. Come on.
You've got to humour Simon,
like he humours me
when I tell him a little bit
about a motorbike or something.
Oh! Ah!
Onto the next barn.
I think I'm going to do a jump.
But it's Simon who leaps
into his first item.
Oh! Oh! Over to you.
I can see it, mate.
Oh, not over to you.
Oh, it's a pew.
So, is that what
they are, pews? Yeah.
They look like some little
Methodist chapel, aren't they?
because, you can see each one
has only got one pew end.
What does that mean?
It means they were
built into the wall.
So, they'd only fashion
the ends for one end.
Do you like these?
I love them.
Yeah, great, are
you going to have one? Yes.
Are you to sort out
which end to have?
I'll tell you what, man, Si
is the man to sort that out.
And he's going to
make Alan some money.
Would you keep it that length?
I don't know.
What you mean you don't know?
Listen, my prayers have been
answered. I've got a first item.
Simon's first item is in the
bag and he soon spots another.
Past the land drains.
What we're you saying "Ooh" about?
Past the troughs, look.
That's nice. I mean, I can see
what you going to do with it.
Not that - this!
Oh, you can't be serious, man.
That has seen better days.
It has, but it's lovely
though in itself, isn't it?
Simon's spotted a cast
iron range cooker.
They were common from Victorian
times until the 1930s,
when electric or
gas ovens took over.
That's had it!
No, no, no this is solid.
This is cast iron.
Nothing wrong with that.
A bit of rust, surface rust.
Do you know what? I've got an idea.
If we just raise it up
a little bit, right,
and put in barbecue in here.
Oh! So you've got barbecue
with its own flue.
Cool!
Range barbecue.
Oh, listen, wow, I'm on fire!
See what I did there?
Range, two items to me.
That is, man, a shocker.
In my head, I have a picture
of how it could work.
Two problems with that.
I don't know how to do it
and I don't know how
much it will cost.
Two items down and Henry's
barely had a sniff.
Yeah, don't go on
about it, all right?
So, desperate times call
for desperate searches.
Anyway, look, we do have
one more shed to go,
which looks like a small house,
but actually it's a workshop.
Here's one for you.
Oh, ya-ya-ha! Oh, that's beautiful.
There you go.
Oh, what's that?
Local hero, a man after
your own heart, Henry.
Joseph Livesey.
Yeah, pioneer of total abstinence.
He formed the teetotallers he was
from Preston, just up the road.
Do you know why they were
called teetotallers?
I have not got a clue. Urban myth
has it,
that Livesey had a slight stammer.
So, when he was addressing
the crowd he said,
"What we need is t...
...total abstinence."
At his right-hand man, realising
everyone was starting to snigger
said, "That's right,
teetotal abstinence!"
And made it sound like
he done it on purpose,
and that's where
teetotallers comes from.
Is that original?
Because it feels it.
It's definitely original, isn't it?
Cos it also feels like it's wrapped
up and ready to go, mate.
So, Henry's passed on the plaque,
which is in too good a condition...
HE CLEARS THROAT
Hang on.
...quite unlike the next
items to catch his eye.
Lovely pair of cans, mate.
Hey, what do you reckon?
For an ultimate petrolhead,
you're sitting in bed,
you think to yourself,
"Ooh, I'll just switch
the light off."
And then you go, "Darling, would
you switch the other light off?"
Bedside lamps.
Those two cans,
they're not valuable,
we're not losing a lot
if I do wreck them -
which I won't.
That's one item though, yeah?
Yeah, yeah, no, that's the one.
OK. Carry on! Hmm!
Right, I'm venturing
upstairs son, OK.
Henry's taking a chance on the cans.
So he needs a safer bet
for his second item.
Oh!
Feast your eyes, son.
I know what you're laughing about,
but you know I love a trestle table.
They're a perfect example of
something that really,
with just a little bit of love,
you can make serious money.
Mate, we're holding, folding.
I've got two items.
Henry reckons the table
will easily make three
figures for Alan's holiday.
But what will Al make
of the rest of their picks?
Starting with the pews.
Well, they come out of
a Methodist church in Preston.
Well, you've rescued them and now
I'm going to give them
some love. Brilliant.
Mate.... I have to say, as
it's displayed on the trolley,
I'm thinking I should just
take the trolley instead.
It's worth good money,
the trolley, man, I will say.
But where did that come from?
That come out of
Joseph Livesey's house.
Did it? Preston, yes.
As in the plaque that was
in there as well? Yeah.
It's got history, mate. Yes,
it's got... It's got provenance.
And now I'm going to give you
one last chance and I'm thinking
about turning it into a
fancy barbecue of some sort.
HENRY LAUGHS
What? Why's everyone laughing?
So, what do you think?
Good luck!
Alan? Yes.
I, hopefully, am the rationale here.
Let's talk glorious two-gallon
petrol cans, shall we?
Yes. I'm going to create some
beautiful bedside lamps.
You said that he was mad.
But I promise you, mate,
I'm going to make you
some money out of those.
Hopefully, he'll be convinced
with the next item.
Tell me about that
glorious trestle table.
That's my paste table.
OK, it's not any more,
if that's OK? Yes.
Great, mate, because I'll tell you
what, it's going to be beautiful.
So, overall, Alan,
what do you think?
I'm watching this space!
I think you should, mate!
Thanks very much indeed.
It was a pleasure to meet you.
Absolute pleasure. Coming up...
Gemma reads Simon the riot act.
Have you got mad?
Well there's more, by the way.
Oh, great! Yeah!
Henry's signing up
for Queen and country.
British craftsmen and women
are very much alive today.
And it's thumbs up at the valuation.
Hi, lovely items by the way.
Brilliant, thank you.
Yeah, I think they look great.
Restorer Henry Cole
and upcycler Simon O'Brien
are turning rubbish into readies.
I think I'm going to do a jump.
They both picked two items
each from Alan's place.
And Simon is back in Liverpool
showing off his picks
to restorer Gemma.
Have you gone mad?
Well, there's more by the way.
Oh, great. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Brilliant.
The other bits aren't
as good as this.
Oh, great, this is the good stuff.
Look, I've got an idea
for this, I want to make
it into a crazy barbecue.
OK. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah?
Simon's also picked
a pair of pews from a church.
What I'm thinking is to use
these two as a donor
to make one beautiful bench.
Good plan. OK? Yeah. OK.
What are you thinking, colour?
Well, yeah, let me have a think.
Definitely on board with this,
yeah, yeah.
OK. Good, well I guess you're going
concentrate on this? Yeah.
Yes, definitely, I'm just going
to put that to the back of my mind.
Oh, I'm not inviting
you to the barbecue, then.
I don't want to come.
I'm not eating anything
off that, don't want to come.
So, Simon cracks on with
the barbecue,
which is one big cast-iron
3-D jigsaw.
Now, that goes there.
And that...
So now I know what I've got,
I can design a new barbecue frame.
So Simon has to design a new frame
to hold the old range pieces together.
And order a fire pit
to provide the heat.
Meanwhile, Gemma works on a colour
scheme for the bench.
What are we doing, then? Is it...?
I'm just sorting me colours out,
a deep purple, a maroony,
a dark blue. What?!
Like, deep colours.
All right, I'll do you a deal.
I promise not to interfere
in your colour scheme
at all if you do something for me.
What's that?
Is it a deal?
You're not going
to interfere at all?
No, I promise you. Yeah?
All right then, got a deal.
Is it a deal?
Here you go.
Couldn't clean the rest
of that range for us, could you?
Are you joking?!
SHE SIGHS
I know how Cinderella feels now.
And Simon's no Prince Charming.
While Cinders scrubs, Simon needs
to remove an end from one pew
to attach to the other.
OK, time to go up a gear.
How are you getting on, Simon?
That didn't do it.
That nearly did it.
Going to get something else.
Desperate times call for power
tools and a wood saw.
Easy.
In Oxfordshire, Henry's showing Guy
the former pasting table.
Now I reckon all it needs
is a straight sand, wax it,
then, mm, what do we do
with the legs?
Sand them, stain them,
I think it'd look lovely.
Because they're in fairly
good condition,
they're not moth-eaten and horrible.
No, they're in really good nick.
It's just a lovely thing, you know,
I see them all the time
in kind of delicatessens with
nice little,
you know, boxes of fruit
and stuff on them.
How often do you go
to a delicatessen?
Not very often. Next item.
OK. Surprise, surprise,
two petrol cans.
Yeah, now, what I want to do,
because I've always wanted to do this...
Yeah, OK.
...is make a pair of lamps.
But no ordinary lamps, right?
These lamps, you can have,
either in a workshop,
or they're going to be so lovely,
you're probably going to want
them in your sitting room.
I would love, if possible,
to put a lamp here.
So it mirrors this
when this is polished.
No lampshade, just the bulb.
No, I don't think so, I think
it should be just simple,
kind of industrial,
but at the same time,
it will look symmetrical.
So Guy gets started on the cans
by washing them out
to ensure they're not ignited
by any drill sparks.
So now the time has come to mount
these light fittings.
So it's going to be a bit fiddly,
so I'm going to drill the holes,
put the screws in,
check they're all OK.
Then disassemble and send it to Daz.
So once the fittings are drilled out
and fixed,
they can go off to Daz
to be powder coated.
Guy moves on to the pasting table
which Henry wishes to sell
as a profitable display unit.
It's one of my favourite things
to do
because all it needs
is a really good sanding all over,
and then wax it
and then polish it.
And it will look beautiful.
So Guy can sand away
to his heart's content.
In Liverpool,
whilst awaiting delivery of
the fire pit for the range,
Simon is getting busy
spraying an undercoat
of fireproof paint,
before working out exactly
how to build his barbecue.
Phil, get out here
I'm doing a barbecue.
Come on.
Yeah, you won't need that yet.
HE SIGHS
Not funny, mate.
I'm starving as well.
You will need them.
OK.
Look, frame, then we're going to put
the old range in it.
We're going to make
the coolest barbecue ever.
First thing, cut...
The boys work together to cut
the pieces down to size.
And whilst Phil joins the frame together,
Simon moves inside
to attend to the bench.
Got a new tenon joint cut here,
all I have to do now
is cut the top rail back.
And it should, in theory, slide on.
So a bit of persistence
and lots of hammering.
And our pew is complete.
This allows Gemma free rein to
paint the bench
in the winter theme of blues, greens
and purples,
topped off with some detail
at the ends.
Well, there we go.
Those colours are looking
a touch more vibrant
than I thought they would.
But once the wood dyes on, I think
it's going to bring it all together.
Outside, Simon is taking delivery
of the newly constructed fire pits
for the barbecue.
I hope it fits.
All he has to so is slot
it into the newly constructed frame.
Will definitely fit.
But I've got to take all
the top off.
HE LAUGHS
Spanner, spanner.
So Simon undoes all of
Phil's hard work.
And when it still gets stuck, improvises.
Knew it'd fit, easy.
In Oxfordshire, the cans are back,
complete with a new paint job.
The petrol cans have come back
from Bobby Dazzler, in the colour
Henry wanted, this sort
of lilac purple.
I've got another purple cable.
So, what I've got to do,
is get this cable
in there and out there.
That is not going to be easy.
After a couple of failed attempts...
I don't know how
I'm going to do this.
...Guy has a brainwave...
Just got to bend that
at 90 degrees, really.
...using a dummy cable
to lead his cable through.
I've got a bicycle brake cable,
I've stripped this wire back,
crimped it on,
hopefully, it's in there
tight enough
not to come out
when I pull this through.
Keep your fingers crossed
this wire doesn't come out.
It might do.
But hopefully, if I can keep
the tension off it...
There we go.
Perfect.
So Guy attaches the light bracket,
the newly polished caps
and finally the bulb,
before testing out his handiwork.
They look lovely.
With the lamps lit, Guy
is finishing the trestle table
by applying a layer of wax.
As you can see, when you put
this on,
it does go quite a bit darker.
Which is what I want,
but if I put some stain in it,
it would have been too dark.
So I think this is spot on.
Finally, out comes the buffer to add
a shine to the old table.
In Liverpool, Simon's first items
are being finished off.
First up, Simon's design for a pair
of matching legs for the clock
has been realised by the blacksmith.
The clock table is being put together,
and I'm pretty pleased with it.
I think Simon is going to love it.
And it's half past 12,
that's time for lunch.
Simon is busy putting the final
touches to the searchlight lamp.
Gemma?
Wow, look at this!
Gemma, let me light up your life.
Oh, that is fantastic.
Brilliant, isn't it?
It really is.
I have to say, Phil has worked
tirelessly on this.
Well done, Phil.
Well, I designed the base.
Phil done the work.
I drew a picture, though.
Well done, Simon.
I've got a light now if I need to
draw another one as well.
In Oxfordshire, Henry's also admiring
the newly reupholstered chair
from today's first search.
Now, look right.
I say.
Is that it?
Well, it's all right, isn't it?
Is that all you're going to say?
Look at it.
Ooh, careful, careful!
I mean...
You're over the moon, aren't you?
Aren't you?
Yeah, it's all right.
Come on, let's have
a decent look at it. Eh?
I mean, that is a work of art.
Just how I imagined it to be.
Hey, but I tell you
what it does show,
that British craftsmen and women... Mm.
...are very much alive today.
But there's no time to rest
on those laurels, boys,
as there's a Winnebago to finish.
There you go, you're in.
There you go, look at that.
The boys add the Perspex
for the windows.
Go on!
That's it.
Henry slides in the interior...
You're doing quite well.
...adds in the details...
Steering wheel.
...and finally, they're ready
to add the renovated roof.
Watch your windscreen.
And after a bit of a fiddle,
we have one winning Winnebago.
Oh, that really is cool.
That's something worth saving,
isn't it?
It is. Eh? Yeah.
Oh, happy days, man.
Lovely little thing.
But will Henry have a happy
day at the valuation?
Aviation collector Nick who wants
some money for a new bathroom
is back to take a look.
Hey, Nick.
How are you, mate?
Good to see you.
Good to see you again.
Lovely to see you.
Well, Nick, feast your eyes,
go and have a look.
See what you reckon. Right.
I almost don't
recognise that at all.
Wow...
What do you reckon
on the seat, Nick?
That is very, very nice.
Thank you.
Come and join us, eh?
So, Nick, what do you reckon?
It's more than just sort of fettling
them up for a quick sale.
It's really nicely restored items.
I'm thrilled that you like it,
but have we made you any money?
Well, Adam, our valuer, is here.
With two decades' experience,
auction house owner Adam Partridge
can accurately value anything.
Hi - lovely items, by the way.
Brilliant! Thank you!
Yeah! I think they look great.
OK, mate, lets spend
a moment in time
talking about the little table there.
Yeah, you won't find
another, will you?
You won't.
It's in fully working
order, I can tell you.
The discarded clock was turned
into a table
after £80 was spent on the legs.
I think it's quirky and fun
and creative, and £125-worth.
That ticks up a £45 profit.
OK, now talk to me, then,
about the searchlight,
which we actually found out, mate,
when we took the back off it,
it's not Second World War.
Oh, right.
It's late '50s, early '60s,
believed to be off a fire engine.
And I think it
turned out fabulously.
Yeah, I think it did.
It does look good.
The rusty lamp was polished
up and wired as a light for £60.
The price I've been mulling over,
and it keeps going up in my head
all the time,
and I've reached my maximum now...
Go on.
£300.
Shining brightly for a £240 profit.
Hey, look, now we're on a roll.
Yeah.
Let's sit down, shall w?
And enjoy the aircraft seat.
What a wonderful thing, isn't it?
Well, it is a wonderful thing, mate.
And you've done a no-expense-spared
job on this one,
like a bit prestige finish.
It really was no expense spared,
as the seat upholstering cost £400.
I wouldn't like to see it sold cheaply
so I'm going to suggest £600.
The chair's flying high
with a £200 profit.
OK.
Now, here we have a lovely original
Tonka Toy camper van.
Go on, then.
It's pleasing, isn't it?
I'd never thought I'd see
it looking like that.
It clearly looks as though
it's had a lot spent on it.
The cost of re-spraying this classic
camper was £100.
I would suggest the old - 180!
The Winnebago drives into the sunset
with an £80 profit.
So with all our costs taken
out, Nick,
total money you're taking home is
565 quid.
That's going to go some way
towards getting the bathroom done.
So that's £565 profit
for Nick to take away.
I think Simon and Henry done
really well with the items.
They are items that I wanted to see
something done with,
and it's happened.
Coming up - Simon's barbecue
plans go up in smoke.
I was getting the coals
and lighting the barbecue -
you were getting
the sausages and the burgers.
I never said I was going to do that.
YOU did.
And at the valuation,
Adam is suitably impressed.
Nice little, quaint kitchen
cottage table, isn't it?
Good waxed finish -
shows the natural work.
I think that's very pleasant.
Henry Cole and Simon O'Brien
are turning rubbish into readies.
Oh, it's a slider! Oh, look!
Henry's choice of location
made £565 for Nick.
That's going to come some way
towards getting the bathroom done.
So, Simon's trying to beat
it with his choice of rummage spot.
In Liverpool, Gemma's
finishing off the church pew.
The last thing to do
on the pew is the wood dye.
I want this nice and dark,
so I'm going to put plenty on.
Wood dye usually retails
for about £10
and is a great way
to add a dark finish.
The wood dye is on.
It's brought that wood up lovely.
It's merged all those colours together
and I love it.
But the big question is, is Simon
going to love it too?
But Simon's too busy
to look at the bench now,
as he has a barbecue to serve.
He's turned the rubble of a range
cooker into a smoking hot barbecue
and it's time to reap the rewards.
Gemma! Have a look at this.
Told you it would work and look,
look, that's for keeping all your...
...there you go, keep
everything warm in there.
Very nice. All fully functional.
I'm quite surprised, actually.
Right, OK, well, it's getting
dark and it's raining,
so where's the food?
No, no, no.
I was getting the coals and lighting
the barbecue,
you were getting the sausages and
the burgers.
Simon, no. I never said I was going
to do that, you did.
I lit the barbecue!
That was my...
Oh! We've got no food? No.
And it is going to rain
as well, isn't it? I'm starving.
Shall we go to the chippy? Yeah.
In Oxfordshire, Henry
is readying his final finds.
Well, mate, look, I've got to tell you...
...they are different.
Very different! Well, they're not,
they're identical, actually.
What were the options on the purple?
Don't you like it?
I like it... Hmm.
...but I'd have preferred them just
slightly darker.
So, do you not like them,
or do you like them?
Mate, they're a petrol
can, I love them.
And I'll tell you what, once
these stickers are on,
they'll look great.
Pratts was an oil and petrol distributor
from the early 20th century.
Three, two, one, go!
What do you think?
Yeah, yeah, that'll do.
That's all right.
I can tell you're not over the moon,
I'm surprised with your addiction
for cans.
I love them, I'd just like for them
to be a little bit darker.
But, other than that, mate,
you've done a great job. Thank you.
And your part of the job
has gone beautifully.
Shining with success, Guy moves
on to showing Henry his table work.
That's lovely.
It's come out really well.
This widens the spectrum of punter.
And Henry is well-placed
to put his theory to the test,
as he is attempting to sell
the table
to a fellow wood
enthusiast and deli owner.
Kim, I don't want you to get excited
too much about this.
I like it, it's good.
Now, look, I do really
want 150 quid for it.
I was hoping to pay a little bit
less, to be honest. OK.
125.
All righty.
All right, darling, brilliant.
But how will Henry's wheeler dealing
go down at the valuation?
Alan is after a holiday,
but will the boys' restoration
leave him sunbathing or burnt?
Alan. Hello! Good to see you.
How are you? You all right?
Long time no see, mate.
How are you mate?
Very well. Good to see you.
Good to see you.
Is it good to see that lot?
Go and have a look!
That is one crazy revolution.
I tell you what, I am amazed.
Yeah, it's all a bit crazy, I like
it. What do you think?
Well, I was trying to work it out
in my head what you'd do with that
and I am really surprised.
We've had a go on the old barbecue.
Yeah?
Although Gemma did forget to get
the sausages, though. Did she?
Yeah. But, anyway, have we made
you any money?
Well, joining us is our valuer, Adam.
Adam's back to run his eye
over the boys' work.
Well, it looks good,
pair of Pratts there.
What, here?
See what he did there?
Trying to be subtle.
Shall I start, then? Yeah. OK mate.
Well, let's talk about our
nice pair of cans then. Yeah.
Nice colour, it's not your usual
colour, looks lilac,
it's a bit of a feminine side, there.
Well, the whole point of it being
slightly on the feminine side,
perhaps, is that we could take
a man cave item
and bring it into the house.
It cost just £80 to paint and
wire up these rusty cans
into a pair of table lamps.
I reckon a price of £60 each,
making £120 for the pair.
That's £40 profit on the cans.
OK, well, let's go from that
to the pasting table,
which I don't think
is a pasting table any more.
Not any more, it's a nice little,
quaint kitchen cottage table,
isn't it? Good waxed finish, shows
the natural wood.
I think that's very pleasant.
Nothing was spent on this
sympathetic restoration.
I don't think you will want to paste
on that any more,
not with the price tag of £120 on
it. Ooh, mate, OK.
Well, look, I actually have flogged
it for just about that, 125.
So, that's a very sturdy £125
profit.
OK, moving on.
I'll go jump in with the pew.
Yeah! Well, it's very big.
I might have made it a bit smaller
to make it maybe more commercial,
but I like what you've done with it.
However, it cost a very commercial
zero pounds
to restore and paint
with leftover samples.
And it's a sensitive painting.
Erm, 200.
OK, I've sold it, mate, for 190.
Hallelujah, the pew made £190.
Now then. They laughed, you know,
they laughed, Adam, when I picked
up the rusty old range.
What do you think
of my range barbecue?
How many bits was it in?
In many, many, many bits.
Uncountable, mate. Really?
Yeah. Well, I'm very impressed then.
Well, I like what you've done
there, it's a good job.
It's brilliant.
I think that would work now
in an outdoor context, wouldn't it,
as a barbecue and it's a functional
piece as well, isn't it?
Yeah, absolutely, completely.
For an apparently useless collection
of old parts,
it only cost £150 to put it together
and re-purpose it as a barbecue.
I like it very much.
I think you'd struggle to buy
that for less than £350, really.
I think it's a really nice thing.
So, that's a £200 profit
the range has cooked up.
This displays us at our
best actually, Henry.
I agree with you, mate.
I think they're lovely.
I think they're all -
every single one is perfect.
Nice one, mate.
And you're going home with £555.
How does that sound?
Very, very good.
So Simon's choice of barn
has re-claimed £555 for Alan.
I think Simon and Henry
have done very, very well.
Every single item is unbelievable.
But with Henry's choice of location
making 565,
he's today's winner by just £10.
Small, but perfectly formed
victory, in my opinion.
But still a victory.
Yeah, yeah, OK, I'll give you that.
But I don't care what you say, I am
so proud of what I did
to that rusty old range.
No-one thought I could do
anything with that.
Yeah, I have to admit, you're right.
Fancy a barbecue? Come on.
