6. Four Rooms (Channel 4 and coming to Discovery)
Essentially a play on the American Dealers. Twelve (Four per show) of the wealthiest antiques dealers in the UK battle it out for some of the rarest and quirkiest items. The seller visits each dealers room and negotiates the best deal but once they go into the next room that offer is forever gone. Its as much about the negotiations as it is about the items. This is a show that has items youd want to buy from pop culture items like original Beatles posters and Vivienne Westwood hats to the odd with mummified mermaids and 19th century electric chairs. It also allows up and coming artist to showcase their work and get it get it featured in some of the biggest galleries in the world. A US version is currently in the works for Discovery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug2yE8cCBv8
