The thrill of the auction returns to BBC One with a new episode of “The Bidding Room.” This Wednesday’s collection of curiosities is particularly eclectic, featuring everything from a vintage Soviet-era soccer game to an 18th-century pirate map.
Nick hopes his 1950s tin football game will score big with the dealers, with the proceeds going to an animal charity. Chrissie presents a set of library steps, each step seemingly holding a new story of its past uses. Will the dealers climb to the occasion with their offers?
Then there’s Andy, who’s brought in a true piece of history: a map detailing Captain Cook’s final voyage, crafted by French cartographer Rigobert Bonne. And finally, Abigail and her mum Susan hope their car boot sale find, a Japanese Noh mask, will prove to be a hidden treasure.
With dealers Ian, Melissa, Sam, Jo, and James ready to haggle, and expert Simon Bower on hand to provide his insights, it’s bound to be another lively round of bidding. Nigel Havers presides over the proceedings as always, guiding the sellers through the process. Find out who walks away with a bargain this Wednesday, April 16th at 3:45 PM on BBC One.
