Episode 9 of 25

Nigel Havers hosts as five dealers bid to buy items brought in by the public, including an antique cherub, a butterfly mirror and an Alice in Wonderland tin.

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 is Chris, with an ornate lead cherub he believes began life as part of a water feature in a stately home. Will the dealers think it鈥檚 heavenly enough to bid big on it? Next, Polly is hoping the reflective glory of her butterfly-shaped dressing-table mirror will enchant the dealers. All dressed up is today's third guest, Turuna. She has come as her favourite children鈥檚 book character, Alice, in the hope that it will help her sell a decorative Alice in Wonderland tin. Trevor is selling a magic lantern - a stunning eighteenth-century projector illuminated by candlelight. Will the magical moving images be enough to convince the dealers to part with their cash? Finally, Jason hoping to get the dealers revved up with an animated car mascot in the shape of the bird. The money raised will go towards his move to Australia, so he has high hopes that the dealers will flock to bid on his classic car piece.

Today's dealers are Adi, Jo, JB, Jane and Tash.
