"Cash in the Attic" is a UK television show on the BBC.

In the show, the presenter visits a family's house to find out what they need to raise money for. They then explore the house and its surroundings, finding antiques and valuing them, with the help of experts Paul Hayes, Jonty Hearnden and, for the sixth series, John Cameron. They then go to auction with the aim of making their financial target. The auction never takes 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. Veteran newscaster Angela Rippon also became a presenter in the 11th series of the show, filmed in 2007.

"Cash in the Attic" is still airing on BBC1; its 12th and 13th series are due for production in 2007. These are presented by Gloria Hunniford. Repeats are currently showing on BBC America, in Australia on the HOW TO Channel, and on 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. In the most recent series these bloopers have been dropped on all versions following BBC guidelines.

*Tom Chaplin of pop group Keane revealed how his cocaine binges left him suicidal and led him to quit the band. He revealed: "In late 2005 and the start of 2006, when we were finishing "Under the Iron Sea", I was in a state. Tim would come to my house and I’d refuse to answer the door. I was spending a lot of time at home crying in front of "Cash in the Attic". I was taking a lot of drugs and drinking to alleviate the anxiety of the drugs." cite news | url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/showbiz/3am/tm_headline=chaplin--charlie-did-me-in&method=full&objectid=19025147&siteid=89520-name_page.html | title=Chaplin: Charlie Did Me In | publisher=The Daily Mirror | accessdate=2007-12-21]
