Money for Nothing
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.
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?

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?

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?
