Five dealers bid to buy a pair of large brass candelabras and some Star Wars figures.

Nigel Havers hosts as five dealers bid to buy items brought in by the public, including a pair of large brass candelabras and some Star Wars figures.

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 Rebekah, who hopes her ornate pair of grand brass candelabras with delicate milk glass flowers will secure her a good deal. Connor wants to raise money to treat both his grandads to a Newcastle United football match, but will his complete set of Star Wars figures get him the money he wants? Former soldier Sue has brought in a First World War gun sight. Which of the dealers will invest in a piece of military history? Yorkshire local Jeff is next in with a sculpture of the female form, which he found in a nearby charity shop. Will the dealers see it as a masterpiece and splash the cash? Bringing with him all the fun of the fair is our last guest, Jonathan, who wants to sell a double-sided hand-painted dodgem sign. Can he get the dealers to roll up, roll up and get on board to bid high on his unique piece? 

Today's dealers are Adi, Jo, JB, Jane and Tash.
