George Best bottle of wine

Builder Terry McCauley brings a bottle of red wine to the dealers. What makes this bottle special is that it was produced by the legendary footballer George Best.

In the early 1990s, George Best attempted to launch his own brand wine label.

While Andrew and Gordon struggled to value the bottle, Jeff struck the final deal, noting that the bottle is, 'a rare thing'.

Sold to Jeffrey Salmon for £1000.

19th century Canapé chair

Seller Gigi's father bought the antique 19th century Canapé chair for her as an investment. It's a replica of the fashionable French Louis XIV 18th century interior design.

The dealers had a mixed reaction: Emma raised concerns about the condition, noticing there had been, 'a little bit of repair under the leg'. Gordon absolutely 'loathed it'. It was only Jeff who wanted to buy it for his daughter, but Gigi wasn't swayed by his offer of £2100.

Unsold.

Mummified mermaid

This peculiar item was described as 'quite a frightening looking thing' by a grimacing Andrew. The mummified mermaid from the island of Fiji is in fact part monkey, part fish and belongs to collector Suzette.

She bought the popular side show exhibit to draw in the crowds to her shop in London. 'It's a great part of the cabinet of curiosities,' said Emma.

Sold to Gordon Watson for £2900.

Morbid anatomy

'Ghoulish and grotesque,' was how Andrew described this wax collection of diseased body parts. The collection includes a medical moulage of a diseased leg and a model named 'Anthrax in the face of a Tanner'.

Emma's favourite was the 'diseased leg'. 'Most of my life I've felt like a freak,' admitted the collector before walking away empty handed.

Unsold.

Death mask

Neil Storey wanted to sell his death mask. The mask is an imprint of the head of James Blumfield Rush, the notorious 19th century murderer.

It was made from plaster within two months of his public execution in 1849.

The seller wanted six figures for his scary mask and left with no sale.

Unsold.

Ghanaian coffin

It is a Ghanaian tradition to bury people in tailor-made coffins that often reflect their jobs.

Jack Bell has a pilot's airplane coffin that he has brought to sell. The hand-carved coffin has a pink silk interior.

Turning down all four offers from the dealers, Emma joked that, 'I'm not sure pink's my colour' when Jack tried to persuade her to buy.

Unsold.

Bunny girl collection

Barbara hoped to sell her collection of Playboy bunny memorabilia. It represents an enormous part of her life and she was hoping to pay off her mortgage with the proceeds of the sale.

The collection comprises of original bunny girl outfits, an engraved watch, her name tag with her 1, 3, 5 and 10 years of service medals and the bunny girl training manual, which instructs on the job including how to do the 'bunny dip'.

Gordon exclaimed that the manual was 'the best thing!'
