The Bidding Room

Series 3: Episode 16

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.\n\nFirst through the doors is Christine, with a wooden anchor man. The dealers are fascinated, but who will offer up to Simon’s valuation?\n\nNext up is Jack, who is taking a gamble on a recent restoration job. His antique games table gets mixed reviews, but can he still score a great sale?\n\nReturning seller Naveed turns up with some items he has inherited. His decorative Koran stand and intricate scroll are both rare and very old. Which of our dealers will want them to be theirs? \n\nSharon wants to sell a pristine set of antique pen nibs from a top maker. With functionality and uses for display, there’s a market for Sharon’s nibs, but which of the dealers will want them the most?\n\nLast in is John with a collection of puppet heads from kids TV show Rainbow. The Zippy, George and Bungle heads are a hit with the dealers, but who is the biggest fan of the show and will part with the most money? \n\nToday's dealers are Ian, Tash, Adi, Estelle and James
