Episode 1 (2017)
Sarah Moore is at Altrincham Recycling Centre, Greater Manchester, where she is on the lookout for three things that she can transform into fabulous furnishings. Sarah's first find of the day is a granite worktop that she thinks has designer Daniel Heath written all over it. Will he be able to turn this hard material into hard cash? Sarah also spots potential pounds in a scientific microscope heading for the skip. With this quirky piece in need of a revamp, Sarah entrusts robot maker Mark Haig to give it a new lease of life. Sarah then turns her attention to her own project, some wire mesh from an old chicken coop.
Episode 2 (2017)
Sarah Moore is at Witley Recycling Centre in Surrey. She nabs a collection of 1980s dining room chairs in need of a total revamp, but can upholsterer Ray Clarke transform them on the budget? Her second find is a set of carpentry moulding planes around a century old. These were designed to carve and plane wood. When Sarah takes them to furniture designer Rupert Blanchard, he surprises her by deciding to use them in the way they were intended and creates something entirely new for her to sell on. The final item is one for Sarah to work on, and this time it is an old tin chest in need of a brand new purpose. Will Sarah and the rest of her designers be able to turn a profit?
Episode 3 (2017)
Sarah Moore is at Walsall Recycling Centre near Birmingham. First up to be saved are a pair of brown atomic chairs. Upholsterer Anthony Devine is the man to turn these boring, tired and mouldy chairs from drab to fab. Sarah then diverts a mid-century hall unit from the dump and gives designer Daniel Heath the challenge of bringing it bang up to date. Sarah's own money-making makeover comes in the form of a collection of vintage spectacles. Can the team pull off these tricky transformations and produce a profit?
Episode 4 (2017)
There's never a dull moment for presenter Sarah Moore at Witley Recycling Centre in Surrey, as the cars keep coming with tons of unwanted stuff that's ripe for the picking and perhaps perfect for making a pound or two. Today Sarah's three items are something of a challenge. An old card table gets a new deal when Sarah decides to take it to furniture designer Norman Wilkinson. Together they decide this little winner could do with a sparkling new top. Sarah's second item immediately appeals and that's because of its potential to be totally made over. It's a lightweight wardrobe with ample space to be completely transformed by wallpaper guru Emma Walker. And for Sarah herself this time, it's a bag of high-end vintage clothes that catch her eye. Can our intrepid entrepreneur and her band of highly creative makers turn this lot into money for nothing?
Episode 5 (2017)
At Altrincham Recycling Centre near Manchester, entrepreneur Sarah Moore is on a mission to find three items to save from the crusher. She has special permission to raid the rubbish in the hope she can turn the trash she picks into cash. Each item she finds will be given to some of Britain's elite designers and makers to transform into bespoke pieces worthy of making a profit for their original owners. Today Sarah saves a set of wrought iron gates, which go to Blacksmith Bex Simon for a new lease of life. Sarah also nabs what was once a kid's chest of drawers. Adorned with animal stickers, and even a picture of Lassie the dog, Sarah decides this is one for furniture designer Rupert Blanchard to get his teeth into. Sarah's third and final item is one for herself to work on, and it couldn't be more left field - a wad of natural sheep's wool used to keep packaged food cool. Could this be her biggest challenge yet? Will this lot pull in the pounds, or should Sarah have steered well clear of all of it at the tip?
