The staff at Lots Road are preparing for their biggest sale of the year and, with their annual bonuses on the line, hope that a special 'gift auction' of jewellery and designer handbags will help them hit the £180,000 target.
It's the start of a new year for the staff at Lots Road and owner Roger Ross resolves to be nicer to his staff, while manager William vows to clamp down on time-keeping. Valuer Nick is in search of the perfect Afghan rug.
Roger challenges his general manager William Shuttleworth to come up with a special Valentine's Day sale to attract new customers. William plans to hold a date night where singletons can find love as well as bargains.
With owner Roger Ross planning to take some time off, general manager William Shuttleworth plans to impress with a themed-auction to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo. Lots include a single strand of Napoleon's hair.
Major William Shuttleworth has survived his probationary period as general manager and now owner Roger Ross must decide whether to keep him on. A potential replacement for William, Nick, holds a garden-party auction.
