Episode 3

Izzie and Robin explore a Blackpool home filled with puppets and showbiz paraphernalia. No strings attached!

Martin from Morecambe has always been obsessed with the world of entertainment. Well, his uncle was a lion tamer after all! So, after sharing the bill with greats like Ken Dodd and Danny La Rue, he was bitten by the performing bug and settled in the showbiz capital of Blackpool. An avid collector with a penchant for puppets, Martin鈥檚 home has gradually been taken over by a whole host of circus-style paraphernalia, and it鈥檚 time to evict some.

Izzie Balmer and Robin Johnson are on hand to clear some space and raise some funds so that Martin can fulfil his dream of launching a puppet museum. Izzie has just one day to work her way through Martin鈥檚 eclectic bonkers collection, while Robin will be adding extra value restoring those items in need of a bit of TLC, from a ventriloquist puppet who has lost his strings to an out-of-key musical machine. There鈥檚 no denying today鈥檚 challenges are unique.
