Series 5: 29. Football Table

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 Mike, with a vintage poster from 1920s Paris. An avid buyer and collector of vintage artworks, Mike has a house bursting with iconography and not enough room to display it all. This wartime poster of actress and dancer Colette Andris should capture the imagination of the dealers, but will their bids be high enough to see Mike dancing all the way to the bank? \n\nNext in is Joe, with his team of boys, Fabio and Gino. They’ve brought a late 20th-century football table that has been in Joe’s house longer than his children, but the time has come to move it on. They’re hoping for a fair match and some high bids in the room before the final whistle. But which of the dealers will be the star player today? \n\nThird into Edinburgh HQ are Kate and Dan, with an item that’s more than what it seems. The 1980s globe conceals a bar within, so they’re hoping the dealers will be serving up some healthy bids to help fund a family holiday. \n\nFinally, it’s Peter, with a collection of ephemera he bought in a lot at auction. The deeds box contains some fascinating memories of one woman, allowing the dealers to delve into some important social history. And Peter has some tricks up his sleeve to try to sell his collection for the best possible price. \n\nThe dealers today are Ian, Melissa, JB, Jo and Craig.
