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 Heather, with a colourful pair of toys from her childhood. Her 1960s rocket and bouncing bunny are both in excellent condition, with their boxes intact - just the things to trigger a bidding war between our dealers.\n\nNext, Aidan is selling a 1930s gramophone player he rescued from a warehouse. New dealer Jacqui is a fan of early 20th century items and a collector of gramophones, so he has one potential buyer, but it takes two or more to start a bidding war.\n\nMichael has brought in a collection of Edwardian and Victorian glass lampshades saved from his mother’s loft. Will they light up the bidding room and make him the money he wants? \n\nFarhat wants to sell a piece of metamorphic children’s furniture that transforms from a high chair into a rocking chair. Simon and Nigel love it, but will it convert the dealers and make Farhat a small fortune? \n\nThe final seller is Diana, who arrives with her poorly pup Owen, who has a heart problem. Di has with her a gold peacock-feather brooch that belonged to her aunt and symbolises lost love. She hopes to use the money from the sale to pay for Owen's vet fees. \n\nToday's dealers are Ian, Jacqui, Adi, Jo and James.
