Series 5: 13. Heartbreak Clear-Out to Reach Dad’s Big 100!

Karen and Nigel have a home packed with heirlooms – a collection that’s been growing for years. Karen is the custodian of inherited pieces that have been passed down through four generations of her family, but the sheer volume of items has now become overwhelming. The couple are desperate to clear space, but more importantly, they also need to raise funds for a very special celebration – the 100th birthday of Karen’s father in Florida. Can Bee and Saf help them make it to America to celebrate this family milestone?\n\nAuctioneer Bee has her work cut out. She discovers a pair of US military boots that belonged to Karen’s father and which tell the story of an extraordinarily brave man. Bee becomes emotional as she uncovers two bowls with connections to the suffragette movement, but could it be the collection of silver that shines come auction day? \n\nMeanwhile, restorer Saf has an unusual method for repairing a tired tea caddy and brings a new lease of life to some classic Scandinavian furniture. His skills are tested as he restores a collection of 19th-century handmade toys. That is, if he can resist the urge to play with them! \n\nIt’s an emotional auction day as Karen and Nigel bid farewell to family heirlooms. Saf’s hard work pays off, and the toy soldier collection marches on to a new home. But have Bee and Saf raised enough to send Karen and Nigel across the pond to celebrate her father's big birthday?
