The Bidding Room: Season 4, Episode 5

4 - 5: Episode 5

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.

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.
