    The Bidding Room

    Ah, 'The Bidding Room' - the BBC's latest attempt to fill their afternoon schedules with something that's not a game show.

    Part Antiques Roadshow, part Dragon's Den, it features Nigel Havers presenting (in trainers sometimes! It just doesn't look right) in full 'kindly Uncle' persona, and oddly it all makes for mildly entertaining stuff.

    Certainly not the worst thing on during the daytime slot.

    Not the best

    With a cast of dubious Del boys and a host who delights in behaving in an unharacteristicly camp manner this has to be one of the poorest programmes of the genre.

    Awful cheap daytime show

    This has everything that is truly awful about daytime television. Dealer's with no charisma. Participants you have no empathy with. It's like a cheap, cheap, cheap version of Flogit. Don't bother to tune in, you will be bored to death.

    Patronising

    A Very smug and patronising show

    I find this show to very patronising, the so called expert's all claim to love every item that gets brought on the show, but then they all offer an insultingly low amount , And most of them don't even offer anything,so what is the point of the show? To humiliate the participants?

    I don't have a problem with Nigel Havers, he's perfectly adequate in his role

    the problem is with the experts, they all appear smug and act like they are Better than the guest, I Also can't stand the fake fawning " ooh it's fabulous, this item is the best thing ever" then they offer £30

    Simon is really irritating and his predictable jokes add nothing to the show

    Another really irritating thing is when they ask the guest what they will do with the money,

    who really cares? Oh you're going on holiday? Or buying a car? Riveting information
