A million pounds of property, drowning in newspapers, and one man who can't throw anything away.
In a pretty English village in the stockbroker belt of Surrey lives the infamous Mr Wallace, whose hoarding habits have spread across a million pounds worth of property that used to belong to his parents. His detached bungalow, four-bedroom semi-detached house and separate double garage are all literally stuffed from floor to ceiling with newspapers and other household items. Cutting Edge is given unique access into his intriguing home, where no one has ever ventured.
