00:00We've got two celebs for the price of one, haven't we?
00:01Oh dear.
00:02Because he's helping more of our best-loved celebrities...
00:05Hello!
00:06Hey!
00:07Tuck your shirt in.
00:09Yeah, well, I've been working.
00:10...turn their belongings into cold, hard cash.
00:13Come on!
00:14This is my grandma's old wireless.
00:17He visits their magnificent homes...
00:19It's not often you come to somebody who has a windmill.
00:22...seeking out collectibles...
00:24Yeah, this looks nice.
00:25What do you think of this?
00:26No!
00:27...keepsakes from their careers...
00:29Please don't drop them.
00:30Those are staying.
00:31I was just looking.
00:32...and stuff they no longer need...
00:34We have this fridge here.
00:35Yeah, okay.
00:36...to sell back at his auction house...
00:38Oh dear!
00:39Wow!
00:40This is like an Aladdin's cave for me.
00:43Well, it looks fantastic here.
00:45...turning their possessions...
00:465,100.
00:47Like it.
00:48...into piles of money.
00:51Boom!
00:59Yeah, what do you think?
01:12Why are you singing?
01:13No, I'm practising because I'm going to go see somebody and if I'm good...
01:17...you never know.
01:18Could I be a duo?
01:19Could I get an album?
01:20I mean, they've got four Brit Awards.
01:21Who are you seeing?
01:22Russell Watson.
01:23Oh!
01:24Russell Watson.
01:26He's been belting out operatic bangers for 25 years.
01:30Singing his way into the nation's hearts and shifting 7 million albums in the process.
01:36He's performed world over to presidents, popes and even premier league footballers.
01:43Not bad for a lad from Salford.
01:45Can you imagine if I walked on stage and went...
01:48You alright, our kid?
01:49I've got a couple of numbers for you now.
01:52We're going to start, right, with Pacini and this and Dorma.
01:56Are you up for it?
01:58Wow, Angus.
01:59You were in for a treat.
02:00Who knew Russell fancied himself as a bit of an impressionist?
02:04Whenever I try to do like an impersonation of anybody speaking Italian, I end up sounding like Jose Mourinho.
02:10It's when I do this thing with my voice and then all of a sudden I think, wait a minute, I've become Jose.
02:18Ever since I could speak, I've mimicked everyone around me.
02:22No, seriously, I mean, I think when I do the Paul O'Grady, it's spot on.
02:28Not bad, not bad.
02:30The man of many talents lives with his wife Louise in this gorgeous Cheshire farmhouse, which they moved into three years ago.
02:38We wake up every morning, we can't believe our luck, can we?
02:40Yeah, it's an amazing place.
02:42Hidden jail.
02:43Fell in love with it the moment we drove up the pathway to it and saw the open countryside and the beautiful view.
02:49That was it.
02:51So far, so good. So, why the call to Angus?
02:55I'm a hoarder, a natural hoarder.
02:57I don't like to get rid of things because certain specific items to me denote memories from certain times.
03:05But stylistically, this place is very different to the other house that we lived in. This house has got lower ceilings, it's got beams.
03:13The other place had more of a modern feel, so a lot of the stuff hasn't quite worked.
03:19Oh my word, look at that as a view. The menagerie waiting, we've got sheep, horses, animals everywhere.
03:26I tell you, this looks like my sort of house, this does. Incredible.
03:31We're hoping Angus is able to take some stuff away today, hopefully.
03:35I'm sure he'll do his best, Louise. Now, Angus, compose yourself. For this job, you'll need to be pitch perfect.
03:43Aha!
03:45Morning!
03:46Hello there, how are you?
03:47I'm very well, thank you.
03:48This is my wife, by the way, Louise.
03:50Hi, how are you doing? You all right?
03:51Lovely to meet you.
03:52Yeah, and you.
03:53We have coffee and crumpies at the radio.
03:54Oh, brilliant. I'm definitely coming in.
04:00What an amazing place you've got, I mean, this is just incredible.
04:03Well, the view's what sold it us, it's amazing.
04:05Clearly a huge love of animals.
04:07Just a little bit.
04:08How is that?
04:09I mean, a lot of people obviously talk to their animals a lot, which is really important.
04:11Do you, like, sing to them when nobody's around? Is it a...?
04:14I do. My shih tzu's sort of, like, crawling around the floor here somewhere.
04:18She follows me everywhere, and when I do start doing my scales,
04:22she'll sit, literally, down by the side of me.
04:25And as I start, particularly when I start going up for the higher notes,
04:28she will howl with me.
04:31Thank God!
04:32How is it that I can help today?
04:33You think I'm a hoarder, don't you?
04:35Everything's sentimental. Everything's got a story.
04:38Yeah.
04:39But we can't keep everything, Angus.
04:41You've got an accumulation of items, and you need to just have a little for now.
04:44Yeah.
04:45Yeah.
04:46Well, shall we have a look round, then?
04:47OK.
04:48Don't worry, Russell, it'll be fine. It'll be fine.
04:52Show you the way.
04:54OK.
04:55Right. Let's see what Russell's got planned for the overture.
04:58Oh, wow.
04:59It's a snooker room.
05:01What have we got here?
05:02Oh, well, yeah.
05:03This one's very special to me.
05:06It's my first gold disc.
05:08100,000 sales?
05:10Just in the UK?
05:11In the UK alone, yeah.
05:12So, obviously, I'm not taking the gold disc.
05:14But what we have got, and this is the platinum disc of my second album.
05:21OK.
05:22Encore.
05:23Yeah.
05:24I'm sure we'd definitely find some massive fans that would love that.
05:27Yeah.
05:28Ooh, very show busy.
05:29Putting the money towards anything that we raise?
05:31Yeah, I'd like to donate some of the money to brain tumour research.
05:35In that period, 2006, that was what took the train off the tracks for a while.
05:41Russell had been experiencing terrible headaches for a year when he received a shocking diagnosis.
05:48The first tumour came along and was operated on.
05:51And for a while, everything seemed all right.
05:53The second one came along and went to bed one night.
05:56And unexpectedly, the thing had grown twice the size and haemorrhage while I was asleep
06:01and left me unconscious.
06:02And I had to have emergency surgery on that.
06:04Thankfully, survived.
06:05Started 25 treatments of radiotherapy.
06:08And the recovery from that took a very long time.
06:11You know, I got so much incredible support and letters and flowers and everything coming
06:17through every day.
06:18It was really quite touching.
06:21That was a point where I began to reassess and re-evaluate my life.
06:25I wanted a better balance between family, friends and work.
06:30And that's pretty much what I got.
06:32We'll try and endeavour to do as well as we can.
06:35We'll take good care of that one.
06:37Now, what's next on the concert programme, I wonder?
06:40This may also be cliché, but do you, like, practice in the shower?
06:43You're singing or is that...?
06:44Not usually.
06:45If I'm doing regular vocal scales, I'll come in here,
06:48because this is one of the most resonant rooms in the house,
06:51because it's got hard flooring and...
06:53And a pair of keen opera buffs by the look of it.
06:56Imagine you could probably sing, actually, Angus.
06:59Let's try a...
07:01La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
07:07La-la...
07:09Wow.
07:10That's shocking.
07:11I think it's time to do what you're best at.
07:16Yeah, fine, fine.
07:17It's awful.
07:18Sorry, Russell.
07:20Just through here?
07:21The only tenner Angus knows anything about
07:23is the one that folds up into a wallet.
07:26Welcome to my man cave, Angus.
07:28Wow!
07:29It's quite the room of accolades.
07:30I mean, how many?
07:32Yeah, four Brit Awards.
07:34Russell picked up his first classical Brit Award in 2001.
07:39They're not for sale, by the way.
07:40No, no, well, I didn't think they were.
07:42I mean, you know, I'll just check it, yeah.
07:44But I do have something that is for sale from that era.
07:48Oh, okay.
07:49This is the white silk suit that I wore
07:52when I collected my second two Brits.
07:55Wow.
07:56I had this handmade by a chap called William Hunt,
08:00who's a Savile Row tailor.
08:02Yeah.
08:03And it's pure silk, this, I believe.
08:05It's a marvellous suit.
08:06It's just unfortunate about the colour.
08:09But under the light, actually on the night,
08:11it did look pretty good.
08:13Yeah, I think somebody that's a big fan of yours
08:15is going to love that.
08:16Yeah.
08:17It's the suit you wore at the Brits,
08:18and I think that just adds that bit of gravitas.
08:20If there's a dapper Russell fan on sale day,
08:23this could make up to £200.
08:26I mean, are you happy for me to just have a wander?
08:29I think so, yes.
08:30Just don't take too much stuff away.
08:33All right, leave me to it.
08:34I'll have a look round.
08:36Louise, I think, is happiest for me to take anything.
08:38Russell, I think he'll let a few bits go,
08:40but, you know, he's quite attached.
08:41Everything means something.
08:42And I get it.
08:43I've just got to tread that line
08:45between keeping Russell happy, Louise happy.
08:49Get some bits away, but maybe not too much.
08:51We'll see what I can get.
08:53Well, now you're off the leash to roam free, Angus,
08:56you can, er, take your time.
08:59Mmm, this looks nice.
09:01The Ulysse Nardin.
09:03And it's probably a make that a lot of people aren't familiar with
09:05unless you're really into your watches and timepieces.
09:09It was founded in 1846 in Switzerland,
09:11home of all the top watchmakers.
09:14But what Nardin did was they specialised on chronographs.
09:19In fact, they are arguably the world's leading manufacturer of chronograph watches and timepieces.
09:26A chronograph is a timepiece with a stopwatch mechanism.
09:30Russell was gifted this 18-karat gold one as a thank you after a performance.
09:35We're probably somewhere between $1,000 and $2,000 on a watch like this, so, er, really nice thing.
09:45Uh-oh, not more singing.
09:48La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
09:56Hang on, what's going on here?
09:58La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
10:06Yeah, very funny, Russell.
10:08Anyway, this fender of yours is off to auction.
10:11It can get a closer look back in Kirby Moorside.
10:15As well as the guitar, there's a clarinet up for grabs.
10:21So, once that and those musical mementos are loaded up, it could be job done.
10:33Hey.
10:34Oh, unless Louise wants to sneak something on the van too.
10:38Is this your saddle?
10:39Yeah, it has been on my previous horses.
10:41Yeah.
10:42But it's no use for it now.
10:43Oh, OK.
10:44Made by British saddle maker Albion, this dressage saddle could add around £50 to the pot.
10:51Plenty of horse riders round here.
10:53We'll take that.
10:56And with that, it's almost time to hit the road.
11:00What a day.
11:01Not a huge amount to sell.
11:02There's a few choice bits.
11:04Obviously, the watch is probably the star item in terms of value.
11:07It's platinum disc.
11:08But I've had a wonderful day.
11:09And, you know, I've just got to practise hard now, ready for our duet on sale day.
11:14Oh, please say he's joking.
11:16Thank you very much.
11:17It's been an absolute pleasure.
11:19It's been lovely.
11:20I'm going to practise in the van on the way home.
11:21See you soon.
11:22La la la la la la la la.
11:24It's nice to see him putting so much effort into it as well.
11:27Yeah.
11:28Stay sharp, Angus.
11:29If you pitched this sale right, Russell could be in for a nice little earner.
11:44Now, then.
11:45What a glorious day.
11:46What's he got?
11:47Yeah, not a lot, but some interesting bits.
11:48A white silk suit.
11:49To be honest, that's more you than me.
11:50I don't think it is me.
11:51Russell's modest haul will need to be researched, put into lots and entered into the online catalogue
11:55in time for the auction.
11:57There are two names that are synonymous for guitars.
12:12Gibson and Fender.
12:13And we've got here Russell's Fender Stratocaster.
12:16So, Fender, sort of, as a corporation, was properly founded in 1946.
12:21And their first, sort of, well-known guitar was the Esquire, which later became a Telecaster,
12:26that came out in 1950.
12:28Then, in 54, Leo Fender, who was the founder of the company, wanted to, sort of, do a change design.
12:35And from that design came the Stratocaster.
12:38The Stratocaster's slimline, contoured shape was a revolutionary design,
12:43making for a comfortable fit into the player's body.
12:47So, the Stratocaster's quite popular in, sort of, blues, rock and stuff.
12:51It's got a very versatile sound.
12:53Eric Clapton had one.
12:55Jimi Hendrix had a white Strat that was famously played at Woodstock.
12:58That sold for two million.
13:00Wowzers.
13:01And Russell's?
13:02So, at auction, Fenders always do well, especially Stratocasters.
13:06With this one being a late 2000s model, you're looking at an estimate of, sort of, six, nine hundred.
13:11I think it'll do comfortably within that range.
13:13Possibly a bit better, depending on the day.
13:19Hi, Charlotte.
13:20Hi, Angus.
13:21I'm just having a look at this ring, and I'm not quite sure if it's 18 karat white gold or platinum.
13:26The mark in there, it's a very tiny stamp anyway.
13:30And I can see that it says something 50, but I can't see if it's 750 or 950.
13:35Ah.
13:36A 750 stamp indicates the piece is 75% gold and 25% other metals, like nickel or palladium,
13:45which give it its white colour.
13:47950 means it's 95% pure platinum.
13:51So, you're going to try and sort of clean that?
13:53Yeah.
13:54Because, I mean, there'll be a big difference in price.
13:56It's got some weight to it, so, I mean, it's 32 grams.
13:58Yeah, 32 grams, platinum, 450, 500.
14:01White gold, you're pushing 1500 pounds, aren't you?
14:03Yeah, so, sort of, triple the price, really.
14:04Yeah.
14:05Russell was given this ring by a concert promoter following a show in Tokyo.
14:10Fingers crossed it's 18 karat.
14:11Well, I'll let you get it cleaned up.
14:13Let me know, Charlotte, all right?
14:14I will.
14:15Oh, hi.
14:16How are we doing?
14:17Louise and Russell have travelled up with Shih Tzu Muffin and Pomeranian Wolfie.
14:33How are you?
14:34Lovely to see you.
14:36Looking very dapper.
14:37Well, you know, try.
14:39Hey, Russell.
14:40We've got the family.
14:41The family, all right.
14:42And how are we feeling about the auction?
14:43Excited.
14:44Great.
14:45Yeah, looking forward to it.
14:46It's my first one, so...
14:47OK.
14:48Come on in and have a look round.
14:49Come on.
14:50Thanks, Angus.
14:51Wonderful, just head on through and I'll catch up with you in a bit.
14:56Thank you very much.
14:57Thank you, Angus.
15:00Ooh.
15:01Wow.
15:02This is cool.
15:03This is where it all happens.
15:05Yeah.
15:06Really excited.
15:07You know, not a lot of lots in, but they've got some good bits.
15:09I always dreamt of being things that I wasn't very good at.
15:13Like a rock guitarist.
15:15Oh, yeah.
15:17Now, I can strum out a tune on a guitar, but I ain't no Jimmy Page.
15:24Russell has set a couple of reserves, which might be a little bit ambitious, but we'll see.
15:30Oh, the watch.
15:32Hoping for great things from that today.
15:35The watch is probably a standout item, so we'll see how we get on.
15:40Starting to get excited, actually.
15:41You can feel the tension in the room is palpable.
15:43I am looking forward to seeing if my saddle will sell.
15:48Yes.
15:49I'm hoping it will.
15:50Yes, because that saddle has been in the way for years.
15:54Russell and Louise have ten lots in today's sale, and a line-up of top talent to help shift them.
16:00Our divas waiting in the wings for internet bids are the two Charlottes, while the three tenors, Joe, Mark and Sammy, all have phone buyers on the line.
16:11But this moment belongs to our very own maestro.
16:15Here he comes, the Yorkshire Pavarotti.
16:18It's Angus!
16:21We've got Russell here.
16:22How are you? Are you OK, ladies?
16:24And he's even given me singing lessons.
16:27Go on.
16:28La, la, la, la, la, la.
16:30I've got a bit of a chest infection. It's not working today.
16:33First up, the ring, which Charlotte scrubbed up and found to be 18-carat white gold, which is good news for Russell.
16:41You got this, was it on tour you got this, didn't you?
16:44Yeah, from Tokyo. I was presented with the ring.
16:47I just don't like jewellery. I struggle to wear my wedding ring.
16:51I bet you do.
16:52Well, no.
16:54That's welded on, is that one.
16:57Wish me for this one. We can open at £1,200.
17:00£1,200, open your bid.
17:02At £1,200 and bid.
17:03£1,200 and bid.
17:04£1,250.
17:05£1,300.
17:06£1,350.
17:07I've got £1,380.
17:09£1,4?
17:10£1,400.
17:11I'm out.
17:12At £1,400 it is then.
17:13At £1,400 it is then.
17:15For the Tokyo Tour ring, selling at £1,400.
17:20Not bad, eh, Russell?
17:22Hey!
17:23It's the Fender Stratocaster next.
17:25But any wannabe Hendrik says will have to fork out at least £900, which is Russell's reserve.
17:31I don't want this to sell.
17:32I reluctantly let it go on my wife's recommendation.
17:36Well, actually, you went out for a cup of tea and she said, Angus, get the stuff in the
17:40van.
17:41That's what she said.
17:42At £5,400 at £5,400 at £5,400.
17:43Ah, come on, it's worth all of this.
17:45£5,600, let's go.
17:46At £5,600, come on ladies and gentlemen.
17:47I mean, this gentleman's sung for the Pope.
17:49£5,80, that's done it.
17:50£5,80, £600, £600 a bid.
17:52£6,20, £40, £60, £6,60, £6,60.
17:55At £6,80, £700, £700 a bid.
17:57At £7,20, £40, £60, £7,80, £800.
17:59At £800, £8,20, £8,40.
18:01Come on, Angus.
18:02At £8,80, £8,80.
18:03At £8,80.
18:04At £8,80 it is.
18:05Then at £8,80, £900 I have.
18:07At £900 it is.
18:09Gobbles up.
18:10Last call at £900.
18:12Oof.
18:13Angus just about got that one over the line.
18:16Ah!
18:18Next, it's Russell's platinum disc, which he's popped a £200 reserve on.
18:25I'm sure if somebody pays a good price, we can get it personally signed
18:28and dedicated to you at the back if you like.
18:30Yeah.
18:31£100, start me.
18:32Uh-oh.
18:33Oh.
18:34100 pounds, surely.
18:36100 pounds for the platinum.
18:38100.
18:39We're off at 100.
18:40At 100 it is then.
18:41At 100 pounds it is then.
18:42At 100.
18:43At 110, 10, 10.
18:44120.
18:45130.
18:46140.
18:47150.
18:48150.
18:49160.
18:50160.
18:51170.
18:52180.
18:53180 pounds.
18:54Do you know how many albums he had to sell for this?
18:55At 180 here.
18:56We're all done at 180.
18:5820 pounds short of the reserve.
19:02Angus shuts down the sale.
19:04Oh blimey.
19:05Let's hope there's some snappy dresses out there.
19:08Don't know what you're thinking wearing this at the Brit Awards, but seemed like a good idea at the time.
19:13Right, where should it be for this?
19:14A couple of hundred pounds for it.
19:15Oh, come on.
19:16It's iconic.
19:17Bit of British music history.
19:20200 pounds?
19:21I think nobody wants to take it from you.
19:22That's the...
19:23Ah, I appreciate it.
19:24Yeah.
19:25Ah, well.
19:26This shiny number's heading back to Cheshire.
19:27Maybe Angus can get the punters G'd up again with Louisa's lot.
19:40The dressage saddle, there we go.
19:42As used by a very prestigious dressage rider.
19:45I'm not sure about that.
19:46It's very kind.
19:47Wow.
19:48Ah, there we go.
19:49And we go straight in.
19:50I've got a 30 pound bid.
19:51At 30 pound, at 30.
19:52Let's go.
19:53It's a good start, all this.
19:5430 pound.
19:5532, 5, 5, 8.
19:5638 pound.
19:5738.
19:5840, 40, 42, 2, 2.
19:5942 it is then at 42 pound.
20:00A bid at 42.
20:01555.
20:02888.
20:0348 pound a bid.
20:0448 it is then at 48.
20:0550.
20:0650 it is then at 50.
20:0750 it is then at 50.
20:08It's like a horse race, isn't it?
20:1055 it is then at 55.
20:1260.
20:1360 a bid at 60 it is then.
20:14At 60 it is then at 60.
20:15I'm trying at 60.
20:1660 at 60.
20:17At 60 it is then at 60.
20:20This one's cantered off to a local bidder.
20:23Wahey!
20:25Thank God that's gone.
20:29Don't look away yet, Muffin, cos over the next few minutes,
20:33Angus sees off another four lots, including...
20:3642.
20:37A Victorian rocking chair with faux leather seat and tapestry footstool and...
20:44It's 70 pounds.
20:46The clarinet by London instrument makers Boozy and Hawks.
20:53That's good.
20:54Yeah.
20:55Which brings this performance to its grand finale.
20:57The Olysse Nardin 18 carat gold chronograph watch that Russell was given as a gift.
21:04Great watch is this.
21:05There we go.
21:06We've got three phone lines.
21:07Yes.
21:08Where are we?
21:09One, two, three.
21:10Straight in at 3,600.
21:11Three, six.
21:12Three, six.
21:13Three, seven.
21:14Three, seven.
21:15Three, eight.
21:16Three, eight.
21:17Three, nine.
21:184,000 a bid.
21:19Four, two.
21:20Four, three.
21:21Four, four.
21:22Four, four.
21:23Four, five.

21:27At 4,600 it is then.

21:29The bid's on commission.
21:30I'm going to go to line one.
21:31Four, seven.
21:32No, four, seven.
21:33Four, eight.
21:34Four, eight.
21:35Four, nine.
21:36Two phone bidders are out.
21:38And the third?
21:39Four, nine.
21:40Oh, that was exciting.
21:41All the phone bids are out.
21:42At 4,800.
21:44At 4,800 it is then.
21:46Four, nine.
21:47Ooh.
21:49I've got two of you come in.
21:50I've got five, one here.
21:525,100.
21:53Blimey.
21:54We're all done.
21:55Final call for the watch then at 5,100.
21:56Phone lines are out in the cell.
21:58At 5,1.
22:00How's that for a high note?
22:02Aye.
22:03Congratulations.
22:04I've just won that.
22:05Marvellous.
22:07That was you done.
22:08Russell is hoping to donate some of today's cash
22:11to brain tumour research.
22:13So let's hope Angus has a healthy sum for that.
22:16A healthy sum for the pot.
22:27Hello.
22:28Hello.
22:29I thought you were brilliant.
22:30We were so impressed with your artistry
22:33and how you move things along so incredibly quickly.
22:37Good.
22:38Any particular lot you were happy with?
22:40The watch just kept going up, didn't it?
22:42Which was really good.
22:43Lots of people in it.
22:44Good, good, good watch.
22:45Watch market strong.
22:46So you'd be taking home a grand total of £7,007.
22:50My gosh.
22:51There we are.
22:52That's pretty good.
22:54From our perspective, it was a great experience.
22:56I'm really pleased with how it went.
22:59Great day.
23:00Lovely part of the world.
23:01Sun shining.
23:02What more could you ask for?
23:03As an experience, brilliant.
23:05And we sold some stuff as well, which was great.
23:08The wash, we thought it'd do well, but that was the absolute star of the show.
23:11Delighted with that.
23:12Overall, quite a decent sum of money.
23:15I think Louise will be ringing me when he's out on tour to come and clear the rest of it out.
23:26You all right, Jay?
23:27I am.
23:28How are you?
23:29Yeah, I'm in character, look.
23:30I can see your Yorkshire outfit on.
23:32Well, I'm going to see somebody from, well, some would argue one of the best soaps.
23:37Certainly, Location's the best, I think.
23:39EastEnders.
23:40It's in London.
23:41Coronation Street.
23:42Wrong side of the Pennines.
23:43Emmerdale.
23:44Emmerdale.
23:45Yorkshire, yeah.
23:46Yorkshire's their own soap.
23:47So I'm going to see Roxy play Leila in Emmerdale.
23:49Oh, wow.
23:51Roxy Shahidi, the screenwriter, yoga guru and podcaster, is a bona fide fess.
23:58Starting her acting career on the stage back in 2004, before radio, then TV beckoned.
24:04Her biggest role came in 2008.
24:07That of ditzy and fun-loving Leila Harding on Emmerdale, setting God's Own County.
24:13I think the experience rubbed off on her a bit.
24:16Oh, my God.
24:17I love Yorkshire so much.
24:18I think they're the friendliest people in the world, the best rolling hills, best tea shop.
24:22I get up to so much crazy stuff.
24:24It's rock and roll in Yorkshire with me.
24:27Roxy's rock and roll hangout is this cute 19th century period home near the centre of York,
24:34that she shares with her husband, daughter and two cats.
24:38It's a Victorian terrace and we've got all the classic fireplaces and the original floor tiling.
24:44And then just all of these little quirky things that make it feel unique.
24:49They've been here two years.
24:51Plenty of time for Roxy to market with her own personal style.
24:56I'm a collector of what my husband would probably call tapped.
24:59But what I like to call is like vintage finds.
25:02So I love a picture.
25:03I love a vase.
25:04I love a rug.
25:05A side table.
25:06I've always got stuff from like vintage shops and auctions.
25:11Lovely home and nice things.
25:13So why the call to Angus?
25:15We'll be moving house soon and I've just decided to clear just some little bits and bobs
25:21that I just didn't want to kind of take with us.
25:24Gotcha.
25:25Angus, it's over to you.
25:27I hope Roxy's in when we get there.
25:28I always have this, you know, horrible vision that we get to her house and...
25:32Well, you got the wrong day.
25:33Yeah.
25:34I never really feel sad to see things go.
25:37It sounds so cheesy, but we don't really own anything, do we?
25:40We just take care of objects.
25:42And I like lots of objects, but I'm really good at just giving them away.
25:46Well, you won't be giving anything away on Angus's watch, Roxy.
25:50He'll do his best to make you a nice pot of cash.
25:53Hi!
25:56How are you doing?
25:57Angus.
25:58Nice to meet you, Angus.
25:59Charlotte.
26:00Nice to meet you.
26:01Come on in.
26:06We're delighted to be in York, aren't we?
26:08Our favourite city.
26:09I fell in love with York because I got my first ever professional theatre job here.
26:14And I remember feeling like it was, it's like a set.
26:18It's so beautiful.
26:20And then when I've got Emmerdale, eventually convinced my husband that we should relocate
26:25to York.
26:26We've really enjoyed it.
26:27But we're now moving again.
26:28Okay.
26:29You like to move around.
26:30I do.
26:31I don't mean to.
26:32But every house I move into, I'm like, this one's forever.
26:33And then something will come up.
26:35So we're moving, which is one of the reasons why you guys are here.
26:40Well, shall we have a look around and see what's potentially to go?
26:42Yeah, I've got something that I want to show you.
26:44Brilliant.
26:45Okay.
26:46Charlotte, prep the van.
26:48First stop for us is the kitchen.
26:50I wonder what Roxy's serving up in here.
26:53So, have a look at this.
26:56It's super sweet.
26:57I bought this about 20 years ago now.
27:00I've got two of them.
27:01I'm happy for both of them to go because I've always struggled to find a place for them.
27:05Yeah.
27:06The other one's in the attic.
27:07So I think if they're going to go, they should probably go together.
27:10This is by a local artist called Jessica Owen, who is known for her scenes featuring Brooding Skies.
27:17Art can be tricky, but, you know, somebody else is going to love that, like you.
27:21I'm excited to see how that does.
27:23Cool.
27:24Could be a nice lot when we can find the other one.
27:27The start to a promising dame, he thinks.
27:30It's wonderful to be in York, but also to be with Roxy.
27:33I mean, she's an absolute delight.
27:35She's definitely got a taste for the mid-century.
27:37The whole house, you can see that sort of vibe flowing through it.
27:41So I think things that don't fit in that are probably going to come with us.
27:44It'll be interesting to see what she's got.
27:46Looks like Charlotte's got her mitts on something already.
27:49Who are you, Charlotte?
27:50Hi, Angus.
27:51Knew you'd find the jewellery, eh?
27:52So we've got this smoky quartz cocktail ring.
27:55Lovely.
27:56Which is really nice.
27:57Quite a big stone.
27:58And then what I find quite interesting is it's a handmade look to it with the band.
28:01Yeah.
28:02And then stamped 375, so nine carat gold.
28:05But it looks like it's set with a diamond there.
28:07Okay.
28:08It's a beautiful, beautiful ring made by a local jewellery maker called Dion.
28:13And I've had lots of bits of the bracelets that I'm wearing now he made, but it's just a bit too big.
28:18And hopefully someone will love it.
28:21Any keen bidders will likely have to fork out up to 200 pounds.
28:26These are silver.
28:27Okay.
28:28Set with citrine.
28:29Citrine.
28:30See, I like a citrine.
28:31They're really nice, these aren't they?
28:33Yeah, lovely colours.
28:34Citrine is a semi-precious stone and a member of the quartz family.
28:39Depending on its iron content, it comes in a variety of shades, from orangey-brown to yellow, like Rox's earrings, which could make around 50 pounds.
28:49These are quite modern.
28:50Yeah.
28:51Like the ring.
28:52Well, well done.
28:53Good find.
28:54Excellent.
28:55While Charlotte boxes up the bling, Angus is looking for something else to, er, round up onto his van.
29:02I mean, most people would be looking at that and going, oh, Emmerdale.
29:05I'm looking at it and going, that's a good Swaledale ram, is that good Yorkshire sheep.
29:09Roxy, found your ram.
29:11Oh, the Emmerdale sheep!
29:14Yes!
29:15So this is really special, actually.
29:17This is given to anyone that leaves the show that's been there for a certain amount of time, because I was there for 16 years.
29:24And did you always know it was going to be that long, or was initially it just a...
29:27No, I remember when I started, my friend Matthew Wolfenden, who was on the show, and he said he'd been there three years.
29:34And then, you know, 16 years later, I'm crying sad tears because I'm leaving.
29:39This precious memento is going nowhere.
29:42You've also done some ice skating.
29:45Dancing on Ice was absolutely terrifying.
29:48I genuinely thought I might die.
29:51Thankfully, Roxy survived her 2024 stint on Dancing on Ice unscathed.
29:57So, future doesn't involve skating?
29:59Not at all.
30:00Understood.
30:02But we need to get our skates on.
30:04What's next?
30:06Oh, my word, look at that.
30:08This is Leila's jacket.
30:10And it's one of the things that I took to remember the character by when I left the show,
30:15because it's so vibrant, and it really sums her up.
30:19But I'm never going to wear it.
30:21This fuchsia jacket-cum-cape, worn by Roxy on Emmerdale, is from London fashion house Ted Baker.
30:28Most importantly in Membrillia is Providence.
30:31Is it genuine?
30:32Obviously, we know it is, because it's come from you.
30:33Yeah.
30:34And I think in its own right, it's a nice thing, you know.
30:36There'll be a lot of ladies who'd love that regardless.
30:38So, I think you get a couple of markets there.
30:40You'd definitely sell.
30:41Lovely bit of clobber there, Roxy.
30:44Anything else?
30:45I may buy a lot of vintage bits and bobs, but my husband buys shirts.
30:50He's got so many shirts, and I'm just so glad that he's parting with two of them.
30:54This one's match-worn, 81.
30:56So, in the prime of Nottingham Forest.
30:59Exactly.
31:00Late 70s, 80s.
31:01Between 1978 and 1982, under legendary manager Brian Clough,
31:07Nottingham Forest won one league title, two league cups, and two European cups.
31:13My husband's from Nottingham, and he's supported them ever since he was very, very small.
31:18And the money that he gets from these, he's going to dedicate to a Nottingham charity called Headway,
31:24which is an organisation that supports people that have been rehabilitated from brain injuries and stuff.
31:31Yeah, we'll take those, and hopefully we'll get a good result on those and help a charity out.
31:35Fantastic.
31:37Vintage footy shirts always do well, and as a single lot, this pair could score big on auction day.
31:43Yes.
31:44This is really nice, but it's just not for me.
31:47OK.
31:48But I know that the artist is local, and I just feel like it could find a new home.
31:55The portrait of David Bowie is by Manchester-based artist Trafford Parsons.
32:01I think it will sell.
32:02Definitely a following for it.
32:03It's contemporary artwork, but we'll be all right.
32:05I'll find Charlotte, and we'll start getting loaded up.
32:07Perfect.
32:08It's time to get all Roxy's bits gathered together, wrapped, packed, and loaded up.
32:15Are we going to go for it?
32:16Yeah.
32:17Including this late 20th-century pine dressing table.
32:20It looked good in your new flatness.
32:22I was thinking that.
32:24Oh, yeah.
32:25Don't forget that other Jessica Owen painting.
32:27Is that the picture?
32:28Yeah.
32:29Combined, the two artworks could bring in 50 quid.
32:32And once they're on the van, it's job done.
32:38Looks like it's been a tiring day for everyone.
32:41Is he asleep?
32:42Mr Leely.
32:43Mr Leely.
32:44Has had a long day.
32:45He has.
32:46There's lots of action today.
32:47Well, we're all loaded up, aren't we, Charlotte?
32:49Yeah.
32:50Fantastic.
32:51So, excited for the auction?
32:52Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it, actually.
32:54I hope all the bits do well.
32:55It'll be nice, because then I can, you know, use that money to buy more stuff on the day.
32:58So, the better I do for you, the better you'll do for me.
33:00Exactly!
33:01I think that's a good way to go into it.
33:03Well, on that note, we'll head down the road.
33:05Not far to go.
33:06Lovely!
33:07And we'll see you soon.
33:08Well, thank you so much.
33:09It's been really nice having you guys.
33:10It's been a lovely day.
33:11Thank you very much.
33:12Small load, but do you know what I really enjoyed today?
33:16I mean, the two standout items, value-wise, potentially, are a husband's football shirts.
33:21Hopefully, we can get a good result on those, because that's probably the bit that means the most.
33:25It's going to go to charity.
33:26And they're doing well at the moment, so maybe now is the right time to sell them.
33:30All we need now is a cup-winning performance from your team, Angus,
33:34followed by an extra-time winner from you on the rostrum.
33:38Safe travels!
33:39Hi!
33:40Hi!
33:41You all right?
33:42Yeah, I'm good, thank you.
33:43Good!
33:44Roxy's goodies have landed in Kirby Moorside.
33:45The dressing table.
33:46She quite likes buying second-hand vintage stuff a lot.
33:59Not a full van load by any stretch, but there are more than 30 items.
34:02What do you reckon?
34:03Just your colour, Angus.
34:04Quite nice.
34:05Is that everything?
34:06Yeah, a little job, but it was local.
34:07Brilliant, thank you very much.
34:10Over the next few days, the team start the process of cataloguing it all in time for auction.
34:14Hi, Millie.
34:15Hi.
34:16Hi.
34:17Hi.
34:18And what have you found here?
34:19This is probably a lamp table in, I would say probably a Hollywood Regency style.
34:20Looks like it, doesn't it, yeah?
34:21This is very exemplary of like a Hollywood Regency style.
34:22It's like very over the top sort of pulling from the Gilded Age in America and then also
34:49sort of the Georgian period.
34:51Hollywood Regency was a lavish mid-century interior design trend
34:55that drew inspiration from the ornate Rococo stylings of the 18th century.
35:01Something like this is very on trend at the moment.
35:03I think Hollywood Regency is back in.
35:06In interiors in general, people are mixing a lot more.
35:08We think this is going to fly, do we?
35:09I think it's definitely a statement piece.
35:11I think something like this being a statement piece is very nice
35:13because it's not overpowering to the rest of the room
35:15and I think it would fit in with a lot of different styles of furniture as well.
35:19I've put 460 on it.
35:20Yeah, I think that's about right.
35:21I think it might do a little bit more.
35:23We'll see you on the day. Right?
35:25Thanks.
35:32I will definitely buy stuff today.
35:34I will be spending more than I'm making for sure.
35:37Roxy's come with friend and podcasting co-host Matthew Wolfenden
35:41who also starred alongside Roxy as David Metcalfe in Emmerdale.
35:46Morning.
35:47Good morning.
35:47How are you doing?
35:48Nice to meet you.
35:49You again?
35:49Yeah, good.
35:50How are we feeling?
35:51I'm genuinely very excited about the auction today.
35:55Yeah.
35:56I'm excited.
35:56I love an auction room.
35:57Tell Angus about when you used to do your thing.
36:00Oh, I used to work at an auction house down in Chelsea.
36:02No way.
36:03So, yeah, way back in the day.
36:04And I was the lad that stood there.
36:06The porter.
36:06Showing here.
36:07Yeah.
36:07I had to shout.
36:08Yeah.
36:09And I need a job, actually, so.
36:11Go on.
36:12Come and have a look round.
36:13Play your cards right today, Matthew.
36:15Matthew.
36:16Matthew, Angus can always use a strapping lad like you.
36:20Ooh.
36:21Here we are.
36:22Oh, rocks.
36:24Oh, my gosh.
36:25Should we buy that?
36:26You can.
36:26We can get back to Harrogate on that today.
36:30I can't wait to see Roxy at the sale room.
36:32You know, she's such a bag of energy, and I think she's really going to enjoy it.
36:36This is the David Bowie picture that you offered to give to me, isn't it?
36:40Yeah, I was going to give you that as a housewarming when you moved.
36:42And now I've turned up, and you've put it in an auction, so I'm going to have to buy it now.
36:46Oh, yeah, I do.
36:47At least I don't get some money.
36:49Flippin' heck.
36:50Not a lot of items, but a few interesting bits.
36:53I think the main lot, really, is those football shirts, and the money's going to charity,
36:56so we're going to do well on those.
36:58This one was match one.
37:00Match one?
37:01Forrest Hay Day.
37:02Yeah, you can tell.
37:02I think we might struggle with one or two bits, but we will do our best, and we'll have fun,
37:09and I'm sure Roxy and Matthew will definitely bring the fun.
37:13This is wonderful.
37:14This is Layla's jacket.
37:15Clearly it is wonderful, but I think it's going to go for a pretty price, Matthew.
37:19I think it is.
37:20Oh, no, we have...
37:21Were you interested in the character Layla in Emmerdale?
37:24No.
37:26They're probably Corrie fans, Matthew.
37:29But there could be an Emmerdale connoisseur or two lurking among this lot.
37:34Keeping tabs on internet bids are Jasper and Charlotte.
37:38So with our two soap stars in position, let's see if Angus can deliver them a clean sweep.
37:45Because I'm a Yorkshireman of a Scottish name, I like to get a good deal,
37:48so we've actually got two slabs for the price of one, haven't we?
37:51Emmerdale.
37:51First up, it's the gold cocktail ring with a smoky quartz stone
37:56that Roxy bought from a York jewellery designer.
37:59That's a lovely thing, isn't it?
38:00There we go.
38:01I've got £80 bid.
38:0280 bid.
38:0280.
38:03Let's go now at £80.
38:03£80 for the gold cocktail ring there.
38:0585, 85.
38:0685, 90.
38:07£90 a bid then at 95.
38:0995 at 95.
38:10100 at £100 a bid.
38:12At £100.
38:13110, thank you.
38:14At 110.
38:15At 110.
38:15At 110.
38:17At 110.
38:17Ring-a-ding-ding, we're off the mark.
38:22Yes!
38:24And when the silver earrings, set with citrine,
38:28also by the same designer, come under the gavel...
38:31£50.
38:34..they hit their top estimate.
38:37Not bad, that.
38:38A little birdie told me, Matthew, you used to be a porter in a sailor.
38:42I absolutely did.
38:42Yeah, well, go on.
38:44Yay!
38:45Go on, we'll get you lifting the things up.
38:48Unfortunately for Matthew,
38:49the lot he's got to help shift
38:51is that David Bowie portrait by Trafford Parsons.
38:55It was supposed to be his housewarming present.
38:57Yeah.
38:59There we go, where should it be?
39:00£80, starting at £80.
39:01£80 for the artwork there.
39:03£80 at £80.
39:03Come on.
39:0485, 85, 85.
39:0690, 5.
39:07100, 110, 120.
39:09120 it is then at £120.
39:11This could have been yours, Matthew, couldn't it?
39:12Could have been mine.
39:13Now, 120 all done at 120.
39:15The man who sold the world has been sold to a man in Wigan.
39:21Someone got a bargain, I think, though.
39:23I'd have got a bargain if you'd have given it me like you often.
39:25But when the two miniature seascapes by artist Jessica Owen come up next...
39:30Er, £50, start me at £50, at £50, at £50.
39:34It's just not their day.
39:36At £50.
39:37So Angus puts them aside for a future auction.
39:40We'll pass those.
39:44Can he steer things back on course with the next lot?
39:48Roxy, you can model this.
39:49I'll go get it.
39:49Oh, no, you model it, Matthew.
39:51Looks better on you.
39:53You wore this on Emmerdale, didn't you?
39:54This is Leila's jacket.
39:56As you can see, that colour really just pops on Matthew.
39:58Doesn't it lift him now?
40:00Is there any Emmerdale fans in the room?
40:03Oh, yes, yes!
40:05We've got one!
40:06We've got one!
40:07Yes!
40:08You can have a bit of Emmerdale history.
40:10Here we go.
40:11£30, a bit of £30, a bit of £30, a bit of £30.
40:13£30, let's go.
40:14This is a bit of TV history.
40:16Two, two, two, we're off.
40:17£32, thank goodness for the internet.
40:18£35, £38, £42, £5, £8, £50.
40:22£50, it's out.
40:23£50 it is then for Leila's cape.
40:25It's all right, that.
40:26£50 selling it.
40:27£50.
40:28Snapped up by a snappy dresser in Salford.
40:31That's all right for a Jackie.
40:32That's all right.
40:33For a Jackie, you're nicked.
40:34From work, innit?
40:35Yeah.
40:37No need for Matthew's modelling skills any longer
40:40as Angus rapidly sees off five more lots, including...
40:44£45.
40:45The late 20th century pine dressing table.
40:49At £30.
40:52The Hollywood Regency mid-century lamp table and...
40:56I'm going to sell at £40.
40:59A modern Italian-made Chinese-style vase.
41:05Boom!
41:06Oh, wow.
41:07That's done well.
41:09We'd seize this auction round the final bend
41:11and enter the home straight.
41:14The two Nottingham Forest, 1980s football shirts.
41:18One was player worn.
41:19But let's go to...
41:20£20, £230, £240, £250, £260, £270, £280, £290, £300, £320, £340, £360, £380.
41:28£400 I have.
41:29At £400 and bid.
41:30At £420, fresh bid.
41:32At £420.
41:33At £420.
41:34£440, thank you.
41:36£440 it is.
41:37We're all done.
41:38£460.
41:38Back in at £460 it is then.
41:40Selling at £460.
41:43At the end of the day, the boys played a blinder.
41:47Well done.
41:48That was good.
41:49Yeah.
41:50That's you done.
41:51Short and sweet.
41:51With the footy shirts nearly doubling their top estimate,
41:55Angus has netted Roxy a sizeable sum for charity.
41:59But what's the final score, I wonder?
42:01Well, you can ask yourself every year.
42:04I'm sorry if I interrupted you a lot.
42:06She's telling me off here.
42:07It's great.
42:07He's quite chatty for a porter, wasn't he?
42:09He was, but you know what?
42:10I loved it.
42:10You two were just so excitable and, you know,
42:12just brought this energy to the room.
42:14I think it's great.
42:14I think it's your energy, though.
42:16Yeah.
42:16It's fantastic seeing you up there.
42:17With over...
42:17You're like a little rapper.
42:19The rapping orchard here.
42:20Mmm.
42:21A couple of lots didn't go.
42:23Pictures, but that's fine.
42:25Yeah, that's OK.
42:26And I think, to be fair, everything went for a reasonable price.
42:29And most importantly, it's been a really fun day out.
42:32Yeah, have a lovely day.
42:32I've had a great time.
42:33Good.
42:33Honestly.
42:34Well, we've loved having you.
42:35So, obviously, the shirts that go to charities, £460 there,
42:38but the grand total, including that take home, is £801.
42:42Wow.
42:43That's really good.
42:45Tell you what, that's a spa day away, that.
42:47I could get a couple.
42:49I made quite a bit today.
42:50Quite a hefty pack.
42:52Quite a good wedge.
42:53It certainly did.
42:54I'm glad that half of it's going to charity, though.
42:55I think that's a really admirable thing.
42:58Yeah, of course.
42:58I think it's brilliant.
42:59My £339 will be going on a spa day.
43:04Nice.
43:04Yeah.
43:05Are you going to invite me to that?
43:06No.
43:06Oh, Roxy and Matthew, I mean, they brought the energy.
43:09A lot of fun.
43:11One or two bits didn't get away.
43:12I think the important thing was the two Nottingham Forest football shirts sold.
43:17Really delighted they sold well.
43:18And I think they've just enjoyed the day out.
43:21They're quite into this auction thing.
43:22I might be seeing them again, I think.
43:23I might be seeing them again, I think.
43:26I might be seeing them again.
43:45You
