DESCRiPTiON

Two of the recognised causes of hoarding are loss of a loved one and growing up
with a family member who hoards. Cardiff based 82 year-old Brian has experienced
both. His mother was a hoarder and when his wife died almost 20 years ago his
hoarding habit began in earnest. His three-bedroom home has a well-kept, tidy
garden but step inside and clutter and chaos is taking over every room. From
pieces of old shoes to boxes of supermarket magazines and obsolete TVs, Brian
believes everything he has kept has a purpose and a use, however since breaking
his back from falling off a ladder in the garden his daughter has decided to
take control. But getting him to agree to throw anything away is going to prove
harder than even getting around the house. Over in Florida 74 year-old Sandy is
an extreme hoarder. Despite the pristine exterior of her home every single surface
within is littered with rubbish. After having a heart attack, Sandy couldn t
bear to throw anything away, she slipped into a way of life that no one was aware
of. Eventually though a friend uncovered her secret and called in help. A
specialist team of cleaners come to clear the house, but as they move piles
of rotting debris they discover more than just the odd cockroach and in the
kitchen there are some rather disturbing things amidst the mounds of coffee
filters and out of date food
Finally we meet Paul. The 52 year-old Bristolian has been cultivating his hoarding
habit for 14 years and it s not only his flat that is full to the brim; his van
and his two cars are packed with all sorts too. Paul has been seeing his girlfriend
Sharon for six months, and we join them as she comes to visit his flat for the
first time. Despite her arrival he hasn t cleared much out and it is so packed
that to show her around the whole flat they have to leave through the front door
and go round to the back door, just to access his kitchen. Will this be the
wake-up call he needs and will she stick around to see the end of his hoarding days?

Enjoy!
