The Auction House

When long-serving valuer Bob takes a gamble on a shipping tycoon's rococo-style bedroom suite, descriptions range from "dictator chic" to "a monstrosity."

At Lots Road Auction House, irritable boss Roger has a tendency to shake up staff morale; he decides that Lots Road needs a radical facelift.

It's the morning after the weekly auction, which is the busiest day of the week at Lots Road.

It’s spring. Can Nick hit the targets for his annual garden sale? And will William stay on as manager?

It's New Year. Can Roger and his staff stick to their resolutions? And how will a new female auctioneer fare at Lots Road?

Will the wealthy of Chelsea snap up the handbags & jewellery on offer at the Xmas gift sale? And will it be enough to earn the staff their annual bonus?
