Episode 15
Rita and Gary鈥檚 dad has dementia, and they must clear his house and sell his collectibles to afford care home costs. Saf rescues worn chairs, while Izzie takes charge at auction.
Rita and her brother Gary must clear their parents' former home of its furniture and boxes of collectibles before they can sell it. Since their mother's sad passing 15 years ago, their father Maurice has developed dementia and now requires care. The urgent sale of the house and its contents is crucial to providing him with the help he so desperately requires.
Auctioneer Izzie Balmer not only makes incredible finds but also uncovers some remarkable family history. As a younger man, Maurice was a respected, top-level football referee and built up a huge collection of items related to the sport, while Rita and Gary鈥檚 mum was a fan of motorbike racing, collecting autographs and photos of the famous and most handsome riders of the day. Izzie also discovers some valuable jigsaws and a jewellery box, full of gold.
A battered 1960s sideboard proves a challenge for restorer Saf Fakir. In a brave move, he uses a hot iron on the wooden top, reviving it back to its former glory. And four dining chairs need reupholstering, but can the work be done in time?
