Cash in the Attic is a UK television show on the BBC. The show, made by Leopard Films, premiered in September 2001 and has run for six series. The tagline of the programme is: The show that helps you find hidden treasures in your home, and then sells them for you at auction.
In the show, the presenter goes to a family's house to find out what they need to raise money for. They then go around the house finding antiques and valuing them, with the help of experts Paul Hayes or Jonty Hearnden. They then go to auction with the aim of making their financial target. The auction doesn't always take place on the same day as the rummage; often it takes place weeks later.
The show has been presented by Lorne Spicer, Ben Fogle, Alistair Appleton, Angus Purden, and Jennie Bond. Appleton, the staple host for five series, left the show in 2005.[1]
Cash in the Attic last aired on February 24, 2006.[2] Repeats are currently showing on BBC America and New Zealand's The Living Channel. In January 2007, BBC America stopped using the original closing titles, which sometimes featured bloopers that occurred during the recording, in favour of their own in-house credits, and on occasion they ran the wrong ones.
A new series of Cash in the Attic is being made at the moment with Lorne Spicer, Jennie Bond, and a new presenter hosting.
[edit] Trivia
- During a BBC programme commemorating the first anniversary of the 7/7 attacks in London, a ten-second clip of Cash in the Attic was accidentally broadcast.
