Kelso 11

Most people capture famous landmarks on their cameras, but Roo Irvine meets a man who makes them out of matchsticks! Michael Tolley measures the dimensions of Carlisle’s buildings by stepping them out. Then, he recreates them in miniature using hundreds of matchsticks. So far, he has made 87 models, including a replica of an entire street.

Over the border in Kelso, can the teams strike any good deals when they go bargain-hunting with experts David Harper and Irita Marriott? The blues are twin sisters Wendy and Gayle, although they weren’t born on the same day! Motorcycling fan Wendy is quick to spot a vintage oil can, while Gayle takes a shine to a white metal pin cushion. Over with the reds, friends Sue and (another) Wendy hope to get a pair of Victorian grape scissors for a snip. At Paul Laidlaw’s auction, the bids come thick and fast, and at the end, one bonus buy sets hearts pounding.
