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. Show less
