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.

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.
