Series 5: 19. Accordion
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\nFirst through the doors is Molly, hoping the dealers will make life a picnic for her. The 1950s picnic hamper she’s brought along has been loved and used by her, but now it’s time to sell it on to raise some funds for a beekeeping course. Will the dealers offer her enough money to make some honey? \n\nNext in are Sue and Dave, with a pair of lamps that have caused division at home. The 1970s fat lava lamps appealed to Dave, but Sue is not a fan, so she's got them out of her house and into the room, where she and Dave are hoping the dealers will see them beauty in them, even if Sue doesn’t. \n\nThird to arrive at Edinburgh HQ is Leith local Theresa. She’d like the dealers to put their cards on the ornate dining table that’s been hosting many a dining party over the years. \n\nFourth in is Pembe. A 1920s accordion she once found in a wardrobe in Australia has now made its way to the room in hopes of squeezing out some bids from the dealers and raising some money for a cause close to Pembe’s heart. \n\nFinally, it’s Damien with his daughters Ana and Ola. They’ve brought a Lego structure with hopes it’s built up in value over the years. The family’s master construction of retro toy bricks may be the only one ever made, but will the dealers be able to piece together the right price for it? \n\nThe dealers today are Ian, Melissa, Sam, Jo and James.
