Nigel Havers welcomes five more sellers to the Bidding Room, where they try to sell items to professional dealers who are on the lookout for interesting pieces, with help from expert Simon Bower.

First through the doors today is another Nigel, with a 拢20 note he has had for the last 30 years. It is missing the Queen鈥檚 head, and has been verified as a genuine printing error by the Bank of England, so could this rare novelty piece turn out to be a licence to print money for Nigel?

Anika and her daughter Amelie arrive with a silver bowl that young Amelie picked up from a car boot sale and has used to store hairbands. The bowl, thought to be over 100 years old, was made by the White Star Line, who equipped the Titanic. Can the pair convince the dealers to spend big and sail away with a profit?

Alvin has brought in a poster from the 1970s West End production of The King and I, signed by its star, the legendary actor Yul Brynner. With 70s styling en vogue, will the poster be given a fashionable spot on one of the dealer's walls?

Next is Carlo, with an Edwardian-era plafonnier - a dramatic French glass lampshade. It鈥檚 a large piece, best suited to a big space, but dealer Jane's clients have large country homes, so could she be the best bet to give Carlo the deal he wants?

Last to face the dealers is Anne, with an unloved family heirloom - a gift from her mother that she thinks takes the biscuit. The Edwardian biscuit barrel by royal jewellers Mappin Brothers (now Mappin and Webb) has been hidden at the back of Anne鈥檚 cupboards for decades, and she has decided now is the time to find it a new home. Will the dealers offer crumbs for it or the solid-silver deal it deserves?

Today's dealers are Ian, Jacqui, Adi, Jo, James, Jayne, JB and Tash.
