A recent fall resulting in a broken hip has forced a decision for pensioner Terry - now is the time to part with his cherished antiques. To stay in the house Terry has called home for 40 years comes at a huge cost, and this 90-year-old hopes that cashing in his prized antiques will pay for the care he needs. An RAF veteran, Terry has seen action all over the world and has the medals to show for it, but he now wants a simpler, less cluttered life as he continues to recuperate from his recent hip surgery and recover from the loss of his beloved wife of 60 years. \n\nWith just one day to sort through Terry’s 50-year collection, and an assortment of curios including Japanese art, a two spouted teapot and a life-size statue of Jesus, auctioneer Izzy Balmer struggles to know where to start.\n\nRestorer JJ Chalmers is not intimidated by the foul weather as he sets about fixing the legs of an Indian side table, and the hinges of a Japanese folding screen. Sheltering from the storm proves more difficult than JJ first thought. Will the restoration be complete by nightfall or will the bad weather cast a cloud of doubt over the auction?
