Episode 20 of 25

Five dealers bid against each other for items brought in by the public, including some navigation lights, a watch repair kit, a vintage corkscrew, a mirror and two plaster heads.

Nigel Havers welcomes five more sellers to the Bidding Room, where they try to sell items to five professional dealers who are on the lookout for interesting pieces, with help from expert Simon Bower.

Kicking off proceedings today is Helen, with three vintage lamps rescued from an old yacht. Will she sail off with the cash she’s after? Leon has brought in an antique watch repair kit. It’s both useful and unique, but will the bids be high enough to persuade Leon to sell? Luke is the owner of two unique and bizarre plaster heads. He admits they are not everyone’s cup of tea, but he is confident one of the dealers will warm to them. Next, Paula wants to sell a gold Rococo-style mirror. Will she be reflecting on a good deal done when the bidding is complete? Finally, Gail's Edwardian corkscrew delights both Nigel and Simon during the valuation. Can she uncork a great deal when she takes on the dealers?

Today's dealers are Adi, Ian, James, Jane and Tash. Will any of them match – or even top – the valuation placed on each of the items?
