The Bidding Room: Episode 19 (S3EP19 BBC One Fri 29 April 2022)

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.

First through the doors are Joe and Ingrid, with a bizarre collection of pink toy rabbits. Joe’s assortment of Duracell bunnies need to go, so it’s down to them to persuade the dealers to buy.

Next is Darren, with a set of antique skittles he thinks will bowl over our bidders. Can he strike a great sale and top his valuation?

Third into our Yorkshire HQ is Tracy, with a bottle of wine she hopes will be to the taste of the dealers. Will wine lovers James or Adi be willing to take a chance on an old bottle?

Luke loves his colourful 1980s Danish table, but his partner doesn’t. It is nostalgic and stylish, but will any of the dealers pay him the price he wants?

Last in is Paul, with an electric pen that he thinks will leave a mark on our bidders. Is he right?
