Episode 1 of 4

Duration: 59 minutes

Twenty-eight-year-old Jamie Don directs music videos, but now his father needs him. After giving up his own dreams of music stardom, Gary Donoughue has dedicated his life to the auction house he inherited from his father and grandfather, but with no-one to take over the business when he retires, it faces an uncertain future. He has persuaded his son to give the family firm one last go - to spend a week learning the skills of identifying, valuing and selling stock before running the firm on his own to help him make a potentially life-changing decision. Jamie has spent a lifetime avoiding antiques and has never even thought about taking on the family business, but if he does not, Leeds' last auction house could be gone forever.
