Secret Dealers

Season 5, Episode 8

The Secret Dealers are given free run of two homes to place their secret bids on the best items that the homeowners want to sell. Using their own cash, the dealers have to battle each other to take home the goodies, but they’re also up against the homeowners who have to decide whether to keep their items or go for some hard-nosed haggling to get even better prices. Dealers David, Mike and Simon can hardly believe their eyes as they scout around Tony and Helen’s Warwickshire cottage, which holds a stunning collection of art nouveau and arts and crafts antiques from the early twentieth century. A Liberty chamberstick by famed British designer Archibald Knox raises the temperature of the bidding. In the second house, David is joined by Karen and Alison, where a collection of 1930s Hornby trains leaves the dealers feeling well chuffed.
