Nigel Havers welcomes five more sellers to the Bidding Room, where they try to sell items to five professional dealers who are on the lookout for interesting pieces, with help from expert Simon Bower. \n\nOpening proceedings today is Sean, with a very quirky and very orange item. Although it is truly bizarre, he hopes it will make our buyers smile and reach for their wallets. \n\nNext, Keeley is selling a plate she bought for just £5 at a car-boot sale. With a link to a famous name in the world of ceramics, she reckons she bagged a bargain and can sell for a tidy profit.\n\nDavid has brought in an enormous light from an old operating theatre that he bought in an online auction. The dealers are bamboozled at first. Will any of them be persuaded of its potential and agree to buy it?\n\nOur fourth would-be seller is Nasiba, with a box that is a real puzzle. Will any of our dealers be able to work out how it works and what is inside?\n\nFinally, Naveed has brought in a tiny and rather mysterious piece of Chinese silver. Can anyone in the bidding room shed any light on its origins, and if so, will the dealers decide to bid on it?
