BBC One has shared its plans for a brand new daytime show that will be fronted by Coronation Street legend Nigel Havers.

The Bidding Room, which comes from the makers of The Repair Shop, will see members of the public bring in extraordinary items to sell to a group of expert dealers, who will attempt to outbid each other.

Havers will be guiding the hopeful sellers, introducing them to valuation experts who will give them all the advice they need to face the dealers and get the best possible price for their item.

The sellers will then go into 'the bidding room' where the five expert dealers will face off against each other in a bidding war.

"Everyone has something at home they'd love to sell if they knew where to go," Havers said in a statement. "Now, the secret's out – The Bidding Room is the place to come and I'll be there to help them get the best price."

Carla-Maria Lawson, Acting Head of BBC Daytime, added: "The Bidding Room introduces BBC One Daytime and iPlayer viewers to a line-up of exciting new expert talent. Each of the bidders are at the top in their individual fields. They'll be daunting opponents – not just for the sellers – but for their own peers."

The 30-part series will be set against the backdrop of a picturesque emporium in the Yorkshire countryside and is an adaption of popular German show Bares für Rares (Cash for Trash).

Havers is best known for playing the role of Corrie villain Lewis Archer, who was killed off on New Year's Day of this year, and for his appearance on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2010.

In other words it's a straight knock-off of Channel 4's "Four Rooms"? :roll:

Can TV get any cheaper or be dumbed down even more? This is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Of course it'll fit; you just need a bigger hammer.
