The Travelling Auctioneers is back for a new run of episodes and Izzie and JJ roll into Oxfordshire, not for a leisurely browse, but a race against time. Stephen and Sarah need to clear their home, overflowing with 40 years of automobilia. Stephen’s rare disease necessitates a move to a bungalow, but first, they need to tackle a mountain of collectibles. Beyond the practicalities, Sarah harbors a heartfelt wish: to visit her great-grandfather’s WWI grave in Belgium. Can the auction proceeds make this dream a reality?
Amidst the model cars, vintage tins, and car parts, Izzie unearths a jewelry box with potential. Will it hold a hidden treasure? Meanwhile, JJ gets busy restoring a nest of tables, a sideboard, and an old water pump. But a risky maneuver with a power sander could impact an item’s value. It’s a high-stakes game of restoration roulette.
With the items prepped and polished, Izzie takes the reins at the auction. Will the gavel fall in their favor, bringing Stephen and Sarah closer to their pilgrimage? It’s a heartwarming story with the potential for a happy ending.
The Travelling Auctioneers airs Monday, January 6, 2025, at 4:30 PM on BBC One.
