Series 5: 10. Cellarette

Nigel Havers welcomes sellers of collectibles and curiosities to the Bidding Room's home in Edinburgh, where they ply their wares to five dealers. \n\nThe first hopeful seller is Dawn, with a Georgian wine cooler, or cellarette. It would have once resided in a stately home but has lived in Dawn’s Walsall flat for the past four years. Bought at a charity shop for just £8, the cellarette could carry a hefty price tag. Will the dealers offer Dawn the money she needs to treat her partner to a big birthday holiday? \n\nNext, ready to clean up is Frank, with a retro piece that can be found in most houses. The 1950s hoover has serviced three generations of Frank’s family, but it’s been gathering dust in the basement, so it’s time to move the vacuum cleaner along. \n\nThird to arrive at Edinburgh HQ is Carolyn, and she’s brought back-up in the form of pooches Tess and Basil. They have another dog, a 1960s brass whippet, which Carolyn wants to sell to raise money for two charities close to her heart. \n\nNext in is familiar face Geoff, who has sold a tricycle in the Bidding Room before. This time, he’s ready to cook up some bids for his family heirlooms. A set of 1950s weighing scales and a 1930s cook book are on the table for the dealers, but will any offers be enough to outweigh the sentimental value of the collection? \n\nFinally, it’s David, with an item he’s hoping the dealers will fall head over heels for. As a handler for the International Edinburgh Festival, David rescued a theatre prop that was destined for the skip. Ready to move it out of his spare room and on to a new home, Nigel is on hand to shine the spotlight on the jester’s chair in the Bidding Room. \n\nThe dealers today are Ian, Viki, JB, Jo and Jacqui.
