Series 5: 9. Stash in the Attic 7,000 Bears!

Suzanne’s home in Johnstone is fit to burst. Years of avid collecting and inherited items have left every room overflowing. With 7,000 Beanie Babies, packs of Pokémon cards, vintage toys, ornaments, furniture and an attic jam-packed to the rafters, she’s living in a house where she can barely move. But with items from her late mother and others carrying memories of her children growing up, making this long-overdue clear-out is emotional. \n\nDetermined to finally reclaim her space, Suzanne calls on her aunty Margaret for support and auctioneer Izzie and restorer Robin for expert help. But with only one day to sift through thousands of collectibles, our travelling auctioneers must move fast, hunting for auction-worthy gems hidden in a sea of Suzanne’s precious belongings.\n\nIzzie gets busy in the attic sifting through thousands of teddies, Pokémon cards and pop culture memorabilia that, until now, Suzanne has refused to part with. \n\nRobin, meanwhile, is thrown into a full day of firsts. He hand-builds a bespoke Harry Potter wand box, crafts a pocket-watch stand and tackles a detailed repair on a vintage leather jacket – an intricate job he’s never attempted before. \n\nFor Suzanne, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Her four chihuahuas are like her children, but two are suffering serious health issues, and the vet bills are spiralling. Every penny raised at auction will go towards their care. \n\nOn auction day, the anticipation is high, and the last-minute addition of a family coin collection adds further excitement to the sale. But can the team raise enough to give Suzanne’s beloved dogs the care they desperately need?
