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 Abdullah, with a piece of childhood nostalgia he hopes will fly. The retro ride-on aeroplane was bought for him as a child, but now he’s got bigger flights of fancy and would like to fulfil his mum’s dream of seeing the Niagara Falls – will any of the dealers’ bids be enough for a contribution towards a plane ticket?\n\nNext in is Peter and his son Giles, with a vintage film projector. Once in situ in a Liverpool cinema, the projector is now in need of a new home. But can any of the dealers find enough space – and the right money - for it?\n\nThird to arrive at the Edinburgh HQ is Amy, with everything but the kitchen sink! She’s hoping her well-loved 1970s camping kitchen will find favour amongst the dealers and they’ll pitch it above Simon’s expert valuation. \n\nFourth into The Bidding Room is Mike, with an arts and crafts wardrobe. It once stood proudly in his Somerset home, but since downsizing, the need to move the wardrobe on has become pressing. Will it be furniture king Ian, or any of the other dealers that pays the right price to rehome it? \n\nFinally, returning to face the dealers are avid antiques hunters Kirsty and Mike. They’re trying to downsize their supersized collection, which has spilled over into Kirsty’s grandparents' house, and on the Bidding Room table today is their ruby red collection of glassware. \n\nThe dealers today are Ian, Estelle, Moses, Lucy and Mac.
