The Bidding Room

Nigel Havers welcomes five more sellers to the Bidding Room, where they try to sell items to professional dealers who are on the lookout for interesting pieces, with help from expert Simon Bower.

Dawn and her five-year-old grandson Oliver want to sell Oliver's grandad's old Triang toy cafeteria truck, and Oliver has a specific price in mind: £100,000! How much will he charm the dealers into paying for it?

Next, a familiar face returns to the show with a key that conceals a corkscrew. Can super-salesman Steve work his magic on the dealers and unlock another stunning deal?

Marjory is selling a pair of Victorian children's clogs on behalf of a Lancashire charity for which she volunteers, while Jane has with her a pair of magnifying glasses, and to soften the deal she's throwing in a 50-year-old teddy to attract one dealer in particular. Will bear-lover Adi fall for the ploy and go all in for the double deal?

Lastly, musician Connor has brought in an American blues guitar believed to be from the 1930s, and he has composed a Bidding Room song. Will his item hit the right note with the dealers?

Today's dealers are Ian, Jacqui, Adi, Jo and James.

Nigel Havers welcomes five more sellers to the Bidding Room, where they try to sell items to professional dealers who are on the lookout for interesting pieces, with help from expert Simon Bower.

First through the doors is Jocelyn, with a piece of TV nostalgia that she hopes will intrigue the dealers. She wants the sale of her Basil Brush ride-on toy to help her upcoming house move, but will the dealers bid high enough?

Arriving next is Olivia, with a set of brass weighing scales that she spotted in a second-hand shop. It is both decorative and functional, but which of the dealers can she persuade to take the scales home?

Tony has brought in a piece of maritime history that he hopes will see our dealers diving deep into their wallets. The brass and copper diving helmet is certainly a statement piece, but will any of the dealers bite?

Kay is hoping to wring out a healthy profit out of an old mangle. With the proceeds from the sale going to a children's charity, can she push the dealers up to her dream sale price?

Lastly, Cathy wants to sell a beautiful bear that belonged to a lady she cares for. This later version of a Steiff bear is both charming and pristine - guaranteed to cause a stir in the bidding room. Which of our dealers will bid high enough to become the new owner?

Today's dealers are Ian, Adi, Jo, James and Jacqui.

Nigel Havers welcomes five more sellers to the Bidding Room, where they try to sell items to professional dealers who are on the lookout for interesting pieces, with help from expert Simon Bower.

First through the doors is Heather, with a colourful pair of toys from her childhood. Her 1960s rocket and bouncing bunny are both in excellent condition, with their boxes intact - just the things to trigger a bidding war between our dealers.

Next, Aidan is selling a 1930s gramophone player he rescued from a warehouse. New dealer Jacqui is a fan of early 20th century items and a collector of gramophones, so he has one potential buyer, but it takes two or more to start a bidding war.

Michael has brought in a collection of Edwardian and Victorian glass lampshades saved from his mother's loft. Will they light up the bidding room and make him the money he wants?

Farhat wants to sell a piece of metamorphic children's furniture that transforms from a high chair into a rocking chair. Simon and Nigel love it, but will it convert the dealers and make Farhat a small fortune?

The final seller is Diana, who arrives with her poorly pup Owen, who has a heart problem. Di has with her a gold peacock-feather brooch that belonged to her aunt and symbolises lost love. She hopes to use the money from the sale to pay for Owen's vet fees.

Today's dealers are Ian, Jacqui, Adi, Jo and James.

Nigel Havers welcomes five more sellers to the Bidding Room, where they try to sell items to professional dealers who are on the lookout for interesting pieces, with help from expert Simon Bower.

First through the doors is Natalie with an anatomy model called Bart. Will curio collector James pay up to her dream price? Simon and Nigel are impressed by Rafaella's set of letter press drawers from the 1900s, but which dealer's collection would they suit? Derek has brought in one of the most unusual items seen on the show - an ejector seat from a fighter jet. Will the dealers' bids reach the dizzy heights.

Returning seller Gloria is back with a very large and curious magnifying glass. Hoping to use the proceeds for an old people's charity, can she charm the dealers into digging deep for her unusual piece? And vintage toy collector Russell is selling a tin-plate toy telephone exchange from the 1950s. Adi is the obvious buyer, but can Russell use his new intel from Simon to dial up the price?

Today's dealers are Ian, Adi, Jo, James and Jacqui.

Jane and daughter Ceri have decided to sell a 24-foot-long table that has been in their family for over a century. The table, which is on wheels, began life in a sailing loft on Swansea docks and was used to stitch sails. Will any of the dealers go for this massive industrial piece?

Adam has brought in a sign you may well have seen at the front of a queue. It's an illuminated ‘ladies' sign from the 1930s, but will the dealers be lining up to spend a penny and take it home?

Peter has reassembled a pedal fire truck he found in a neighbour's garage. The style of it looks early 20th century, though it's a much more recent model. Will the dealers fall for its timeless charm?

Maria wants to sell a set of Birds Eye advertising posters she rescued from the skip at work. With retro advertising prints ever popular with collectors, will our dealers see the potential and want to shell out for the frozen pea ads?

Lastly, returning seller and part-time magician Gary has with him a macabre theatrical prop - a guillotine. He has a showstopping trick up his sleeve, but will the dealers go for his one-off piece?

Today's dealers are Ian, Jacqui, Adi, Jo and James.

Nigel Havers welcomes five more sets of sellers to the Bidding Room where they will try to persuade one of the five dealers to buy the items they are trying to sell.

Before facing the dealers, each seller meets Nigel and auctioneer Simon who will value their items. Simon will also give them top tips on the history and key characteristics of their piece so that when they enter the bidding room, they have all the information they need to try to haggle the best possible price from the dealers.

All the dealers are spending their own money but have no idea what the sellers are bringing in each day. If they like an item, then they will bid against one another to try to buy it. The more dealers who bid, the more chance the seller has to push up the final price tag. But the sellers don't have to sell if they don't think the dealers are offering enough money; especially if the bids don't reach expert Simon's valuation (which they should wisely keep to themselves).

First through the doors is Natalie with an anatomy model called ‘Bart'. Will curio collector James be persuaded pay up to her dream price?
Arriving next is Christine with a butter churn from the 1900s. With the help of Nigel Havers can she butter up the dealers to bid up to her dream price?

Next in are couple David and Pixie with a set of glass apothecary bottles that they found in the attic of their new house. With an assortment of glass from across the ages can they persuade decorative buyers James or Adi to part with their cash?

Next to face the dealers is Gareth with a 1940s gas meter that he rescued from a demolition site. Nigel Havers has a genius idea for giving it a new lease of life but can he persuade the dealers?

Rowan from Ireland is fourth in today, with his trio of Guinness advertising prints. Which of our dealers will he target and will his sales patter be successful?

Last in is Helen with her granddaughter Imogen. They've brought along a gold brooch from WW1 that's been in the family for seven generations. With a fascinating story behind it, which of our dealers will fight to take their item home?

The dealers in today are Ian, Adi, Jo, James and Jacqui.

First through the doors is Claudette with a vintage toy that's been living in a cupboard for ten years. The tin toy racing cars and track are sure to get the dealers interested but who will win the race to own it?

Arriving next is Alan, with a carved container in the shape of a bear. This mystery item has the dealers guessing but who will finally get their paws on it?

Next to face the dealers is Hansi, with a decorative purchase from a flea market. With fascinating military history attached, can she start a bidding war when she meets the dealers?

Next up is David with a piece of British aviation history. His curious tool for cleaning Spitfire guns has links to the Battle of Britain but which dealer will win a battle to buy it?

Last in is Sophie who has brought along a lamp she bought 20 years ago. The railway piece has the dealers intrigued but can her meditation techniques help her nail a great sale?

First through the doors today is another Nigel, with a £20 note he has had for the last 30 years that is missing the Queen's head. Verified as being a genuine printing error by the Bank of England, could this rare novelty piece turn out to be a licence to print money for Nigel?

Next in are Anika and her daughter Amelie with a silver bowl that young Amelie picked up from a car boot sale and has used to store hairbands. The bowl, thought to be over 100 years old, was made by the White Starline, who equipped the Titanic. Can the pair convince the dealers to spend big and sail away with a profit?

Third in is Alvin with a poster from the 1970s West End production of The King and I, starring and signed by legendary actor Yul Brynner. With 70s styling en vogue, will the poster be given a fashionable spot on one of the dealer's walls?

Next into Yorkshire HQ is Carlo with an Edwardian-style plafonnier – a dramatic French glass lampshade. It's a large piece, best suited to a big space, but with dealer Jane bidding, whose clients have large country homes, could she be the best bet to give Carlo the deal he wants?

Last to face the dealers is Anne, with an unloved family heirloom - a gift from her mother that she considers takes the biscuit. The Edwardian biscuit barrel by royal jewellers Mappin Brothers (now Mappin and Webb) has been hidden at the back of Anne's cupboards for decades, and she has decided now is the time to find it a new home - but will the dealers bid crumbs for it or the solid silver deal it deserves?

The dealers in today are Ian, Jacqui, Adi, Jo, James, Jayne, JB and Tash.

First through the doors is Mel with a dress and umbrella from the London 2012 Paralympic Games. It's a truly unique piece but will anyone pay up to her dream price?

Arriving next is engineer Andrew with a night vision periscope from an army tank. With multiple uses, can a demonstration really hook in the dealers?

Next to face the dealers is Glenda with some brass and copper garden sprayers she's hoping will grow her a great profit – but is she right?

Next up is James with some technical drawings of tanks from WW2. With connections to the Battle of Britain, will 40s lover Jacqui snap them up?

Last in is Rick with a truly unique piece. His seven-foot ice cream figure from Italy has the wow factor, but can he scoop a top deal with the dealers?
