Why let your antiques collect dust in the attic when you can sell them? Take money on the spot from a dealer - or if you think the item’s worth more, turn the dealer down and choose to sell at auction instead. Host David Dickinson keeps an eye on the deals and give advice when needed: should you take the dealers’ cash or gamble at auction?

When is Dickinson's Real Deal next on TV?

In the UK... it's next showing on ITV1 London Today, 2:00pm and on ITV1 London Tomorrow, 2:00pm. See more...

    I wonder if you can explain why every programme of Real Deal that I have watched and I am a keen watcher, when the competition starts on every programme the viewer is told that the competition has already closed. Unless I am mistaken how can you stand a chance of being in the competition at any time if you do phone in. It really puzzles me so can you please explain.I still keep watching even if I have no chance. Jean Hutt

    We are fed up of David Dickinson "creeping in" when an experienced dealer, is just about to close the deal. Dickinson advises the seller to go to auction, because the item is worth more.When at auction, and the reserve or price isnt met, and doesnt bring as much as the dealer offered, he must forget what he said to the seller, -he just says 2well thats auctions for you"!! And i agree, no way should he be called the Duke. He definatly is not one. Also he bidded against another bidder at the auction today, and won a clock. Thats not on.

    I am racking my brains to determine the nationality of Ian Towning, I think he is brilliant and a great addition to Real Deal, A perfect replacement for David Dickenson.

    I believe Ian said he was born and educated in India hence his accent. [ his father in the army there.]

    Wow! I just love Ian! He maybe gay but I think he is very charismatic and my focus never deters when he is on the screen! He did say recently he was born and bred in India. I just love his flamboyant personality. Does he have a fan club?

    Yes I enjoy the programme especially from the beginning but I am finding myself irritated by David Dickinson's constant unnecessary interruptions as the 'Dealers' are about to do the business. He keeps putting is head between the punter/dealer even when the "flow" is on for a Deal. We all know why the show is so named but let us the public enjoy the barter, objects & the lovely people who make this 'so far' a very educational & interesting. programme. The Dealers are wonderful & honest, if they were allowed to do the bis.

    Me thinks he is getting TOO big for his boots, in my opinion.

    I am fascinated by dealer Ian Towning, especially the jewellery he wears. There are two pieces which intrique me the ring he wears featuring what I think is an old amethyst and the gold collar with the emerald drop from it. Is Ian descended from Romany's as he purchased a rather lovely miniature tea set in Crown Derby and did say he was keeping it? My own particular area is Scottish painting 1600-present. I also have a love of good emeralds but can't afford them!

    Could you please tell David Dickinson that

    nobody is going to steal the camera's so

    Please stop looking into the camera when you are talking to a Seller, & also please stop repeating the Amounts that the auctioneer has just said on the screen,it gets so annoying. Though David is not the only Presenter to do this "Tim Wannacot" also thinks that someone will steal the Camera whilst he is not looking. K.C.

    I think Ian Towning is just fantastic, he is so charismatic and charming I would love to meet him and have a chat and cup of coffee or perhaps a glass of wine. The programme is great but I love it more when Ian is on, and I am a woman of lets say mature years.

    We are getting fed up with dickinsons patronising manners.Not content with interfering and advising he is now ordering the dealers to offer more.He talks over the auctioneer as though we cannot hear what is being said and talks to the camera as though we were all slightly backward.

    I am going to ban my husband from watching as he keeps swearing at the TV.

    Solution- we tape it and watch later so we can fast forward through all his boring bits.

    Hi, I have a watercolour painting which is of a boating scene and is signed in the right hand corner by a R Gould 1919. It is in a very old battered frame.

    I also another frame that contains a drawing signed J F Millet I believe the picture is called Le lecon de lecturer. The picture is in the middle and in the left hand top corner written in pencil is Helen Th. Rousseau Barbizon-

    Under the picture itself again in pencil is written Marcel Jacque- En souvenir de votre visite ici Barbizon le 6 avril (1772 0r 1972), Marcel Jacque-

    In the bottom right corner again in pencil it reads Eau forte et aquaull de Marcel Jacque d'apres le dessin de J F Millet

    Very faintly at the botton the actual picture is written Marcel Jacque

    The paper this is on beige in colour

    I also have two very old prints of SS St Louis, they are black and white and the frames appear ancient. I believe the prints are of its maiden voyage?

    Any information on any of these pictures would be much appreciated.

    Julie Lewis

    I acquired these at boot sale about 10 years ago because they looked interesting.

    Don't get me wrong I do like David Dickinson, but I do feel that sellers should be the option before a program is filmed, that if they wish to an opinion from Mr Dickinson can be ivited rather than him constantly popping in and out every two minutes. no disrespect intended. Many Thanks Mrs B. Nicol

    hello, in the background of one of the auction houses used in the filming of dickinsons real deal,there is a print/picture depicting a boy slipping on ice out in the country.he is being harrassed by dogs who are trying to steal his christmas fayre, ie chicken,sausages etc.i think the picture is by someone called beardsley. i have inherited a print of this which has been in my mothers family for about 100 years give or take a bit.the condition is not very good but i have loved it since i was a little lad.now is it possible to get an idea of its value, and also can i get a new copy anywhere. youre assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated by many members of my family.thanking you in anticipation of a reply. keep up the brilliance that is dickinsons real deal.yours faithfully, phil little.
