Cash in the Attic also Cash in the Celebrity Attic ^[1] is a UK television show on the BBC. The show, made by Leopard Films, premiered in 2002 and has run for fourteen series. The programme's tagline 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 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,^[2] Angus Purden and Jennie Bond. Veteran newscaster Angela Rippon also became a presenter in the eleventh series of the show, taped in 2007.

Cash in the Attic is still airing on BBC1. 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.

During a BBC programme commemorating the first anniversary of the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London, a ten-second clip of Cash in the Attic was accidentally broadcast.
