Bangers and Cash Cast: Who Is Credited and Who Only Appears
It’s easy to assume that everyone on screen in Bangers and Cash is part of the family business, but the credits are less tidy than the show makes them look. The series first aired on (TheTVDB episode database), and this page separates the credited Mathewsons and narrator Toby Foster from the rest while flagging the personal claims that no source backs up.
Series listed from: 2019 · Narrator: Toby Foster · Mathewson credits: Derek, David and Paul Mathewson, all credited as Self · Series 14 start: (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)

Nine checkable facts anchor the show, and most of them trace back to one local guide, which makes that guide the first place to check any new claim.

Who are the staff in Bangers and Cash?
The show follows the Mathewson family’s classic car auction business in Thornton-le-Dale, North Yorkshire (Thornton-le-Dale local guide). The names with confirmed roles are listed below.
- Derek Mathewson: founder and auctioneer (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
- Paul Mathewson: director, described as often out collecting (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
- Dave Mathewson: director; TV Guide spells the name David (TV Guide cast credits)
- Charlie and Jack Mathewson: listed as cast; Jack collects cars for the business and Charlie is third generation in the trade (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
- Toby Foster: narrator, comedian, actor and long-time BBC Radio Sheffield presenter (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
Is Sarah Crabtree a cast member of Bangers and Cash?
- Sarah Crabtree was office manager in series 1 to 4 and left between series 4 and 5 (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
- A 2019 report named her as office manager of the Mathewson business (Gazette & Herald local newspaper)
- According to Roku’s cast listing, she is still credited (Roku streaming listing)
A name on a credit list confirms a screen appearance, not a job title. Sarah Crabtree is the clearest case, since Roku still lists her while the local guide ends her role at her departure (Roku streaming listing).
The implication: treat Sarah Crabtree as a former staffer for now, because the only Tier 1 account of her role ends with her exit.
Has Derek from Bangers and Cash split up with his wife?
No source in the research supports a separation. The Thornton-le-Dale local guide names Derek as founder and auctioneer, and TV Guide credits him as Self, but neither covers his private life.
Who is Derek’s girlfriend on Bangers and Cash?
- No source in the research names a girlfriend or partner
- The local guide’s profile of Derek covers only his role in the business (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
Where is Derek Mathewson living now?
- No source in the research gives a current residence for Derek Mathewson
- The TV Guide credit for Derek reads only “Self” (TV Guide cast credits)
A show built on one family’s business tells viewers far less about its central figure’s home life than about his job. The credit confirms he appears on screen and nothing more (TV Guide cast credits).
The implication: any answer about Derek’s marriage, partner or home that lacks a named, dated source is speculation, and this page leaves it out.
Why did Sarah leave Mathewsons?
The local guide places her exit between series 4 and 5, but it gives neither a reason nor an exact date (Thornton-le-Dale local guide).
Where did Sarah from Mathewsons go?
- No source in the research gives her next job or location
- Her last recorded role is office manager in series 1 to 4 (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
How old is Sarah from Bangers and Cash?
- No source in the research states her age
- The 2019 report gives her job title but no personal details (Gazette & Herald local newspaper)
A departure dated only as “between series 4 and 5” leaves nothing to check against. Any claim with a specific exit date or reason goes beyond the record (Thornton-le-Dale local guide).
The trade-off: the local guide is the only Tier 1 source on her exit, so the reason stays open until a primary source addresses it.
How many family members work at Mathewsons?
Five Mathewson names appear across the sources: Derek, David or Dave, Paul, Charlie and Jack. The credit lists and the local guide agree on those names, but not on whether they make up the whole workforce (TV Guide cast credits).
How old are Derek Mathewsons sons now?
- A 2019 report names Paul and Dave as Derek’s sons (Gazette & Herald local newspaper)
- No source in the research gives either son’s age
The pattern: the named family line-up is five people, and no source counts the total staff, so any headcount beyond those names would be a guess.
Is Derek from Bangers and Cash a millionaire?
No source in the research gives Derek Mathewson’s net worth. The show is about an auction business, and what a business turns over is not the same as its founder’s personal wealth.
Wealth claims and what sources confirm
- Net worth: no source reviewed states a figure
- Business scale: the family is shown auctioning more than 2,000 classic cars, motorbikes and memorabilia (Gazette & Herald local newspaper)
- Any future wealth figure needs a named publisher and a date, and none is in the research
The catch: an auction count describes stock moving through a business, not what anyone keeps, so the millionaire question remains unanswered.
Timeline of the series
- : first aired (TheTVDB episode database)
- Between series 4 and 5: Sarah Crabtree leaves (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
- : UKTV orders four more series (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
- : series 14 begins on U&Yesterday (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
The pattern: the show’s dated milestones are sparse and come from one local guide, so the gaps between them matter as much as the entries.
Confirmed versus unclear
Confirmed
- The show follows the Mathewson family’s auction business in Thornton-le-Dale (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
- Derek Mathewson is founder and auctioneer (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
- Toby Foster narrates the series, Restoring Classics and Bangers & Cash: Live (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
- Derek, David and Paul Mathewson are credited as Self (TV Guide cast credits)
- Sarah Crabtree left between series 4 and 5 (Thornton-le-Dale local guide)
Unclear
- Sarah Crabtree’s 2026 status, given Roku’s continued credit
- Whether Dave and David Mathewson are the same person
- Derek Mathewson’s marital status, partner and residence
- Derek Mathewson’s net worth and the ages of his sons
What this means: the confirmed column rests almost entirely on one local guide, so a second primary source would strengthen the list more than any new name would.
In the sources’ own words
Three direct statements frame the show and its people. Each comes from a named publisher and is quoted as published.
“Derek Mathewson founded Mathewsons and is the auctioneer at the heart of Bangers & Cash.”
Thornton-le-Dale local guide, editorial
“Toby Foster, the comedian, actor and long-time BBC Radio Sheffield presenter, narrates Bangers & Cash, Restoring Classics and Bangers & Cash: Live.”
Thornton-le-Dale local guide, editorial
“Bangers & Cash follows the Mathewson family as they discover and auction more than 2,000 classic cars, motorbikes and memorabilia.”
Gazette & Herald, local newspaper
What this means: “at the heart of” is editorial framing rather than a formal job title, so the roles to rely on are the founder and director listings, and the 2,000-item figure is a newspaper’s description, not an audited count.
Where the record stands
The record is firm on the family line-up, the narrator and the first air date, and thin on everything personal. For viewers sorting out who is who, the choice is clear: rely on the named credits for roles, or repeat personal claims about Derek Mathewson that no named source has printed.
