Cash in the Attic is a British television programme that aired on BBC One from 4 November 2002 to 24 May 2012.[1] The programme's tagline was The show that helps you find hidden treasures in your home, and then sells them for you at auction. The show was revived by Channel 5 in November 2021 for broadcast in 2022.[2]

Format[edit]

In the show, the presenter visited a family's house to find out what they need to raise money for. They then explored the house and its surroundings, finding antiques and valuing them, with the help of experts. The family then goes to auction with the aim of making their financial target. The auction never takes place on the same day as the rummage; often it can take place several weeks later.

Presenters and experts[edit]
