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 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?

Alan is selling 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?

Hansi has brought in a decorative purchase from a flea market. With fascinating military history attached, will it 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?

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