British tv series about collectors
June 17, 2017 3:30 AM   Subscribe

A few years ago, we watched a UK tv series about collectors who were out of control to various degrees. I can't remember the name at all and am totally failing in searching. The most memorable guy had a Star Wars collections all still in the boxes, taking over most of his children's bedrooms. Help?

It could have been on a major channel or a weird cabley one, but the people on it were all British, definitely not American or Australian.

The show was fairly gentle in tone - Star Wars guy sold some stuff and ended up with a great display, as well as giving his children room back. There was a man who collected VW Bus models and they made his hallway (?) into a display. There was a guy with a huge collection of art, lots of it British contemporary and some valuable, and they talked about the John Soane gallery room in discussing how to display it.

It was airing within the last four years and I saw at least three episodes.

Help!

Best answer: Collectaholics? I know the show you're talking about though and I don't think that's it. Pretty sure it was BBC or ITV though.

Response by poster: DarlingBri, that's it! Episode 3 of series 1 was all three people I remembered. Thanks so much.
