Paul Laidlaw is a Scottish auctioneer, known for his appearances on television game-shows related to antiques.

He was subsequently asked to screen test for the show, and now makes regular appearances as an expert advisor,[1] where his role is to assist a team of two lay people in competition with another team, who aim to make the most money by buying antiques and collectables, then selling them at auction.

[9][10] As of June 2021, Laidlaw lives in Carlisle, with his wife Maureen and their daughter and twin boys.
