The Yorkshire Auction House

Angus helps a man sell his sibling's rare books and toys, navigating the valuation and auction process. Meanwhile, a cruise‑ship singer aims to downsize her kitsch collection of mid‑century ornaments, deciding which pieces to keep as part of the Brotherly Love and Kitsch Cats series.

Brotherly Love and Kitsch Cats is a programme presented as an episode‑length feature. Its title suggests a blend of familial assistance and a quirky fascination with decorative objects, positioning the show within a light‑hearted, episodic format. The central narrative follows Angus as he lends a hand to a man who needs to part with his late sibling’s collection of rare books and toys. At the same time, the episode introduces a cruise‑ship singer who is looking to pare down her assortment of mid‑century kitsch ornaments, hoping to simplify her belongings. Angus’s involvement centres on the practical side of the sale. He works with the man to assess the value of the books and toys, arrange their presentation, and connect with potential buyers. The focus remains on the logistics of moving these cherished, yet hard‑to‑price items, highlighting the challenges of handling a family heirloom that holds both sentimental and monetary worth. Meanwhile, the cruise‑ship singer’s subplot reveals her desire to reduce the volume of her decorative collection. She seeks a more manageable set of mid‑century ornaments, aiming to keep only those pieces that truly resonate with her taste. Her quest for a streamlined kit­ch collection runs parallel to Angus’s efforts, tying the two storylines together under the episode’s theme of letting go of treasured possessions.
