From the makers of The Repair Shop, comes a new BBC One daytime series, The Bidding Room. Set in an emporium deep in the Yorkshire countryside, a group of expert dealers will attempt to outbid each other to buy extraordinary items brought in by the public. Nigel Havers welcomes people with an item they'd like to sell, introducing them to a valuation expert who gives them the specialist information they need to drive a hard bargain.

The competition will be fierce and the sellers will need to haggle get the best possible price for their item before finally shaking hands and doing a deal.
