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. Show less
