You've heard of the expression - money for nothing. Well, imagine discovering a priceless antique or picture that's been in your home all along and you didn't know it.

Host Alistair Appleton (House Doctor), aided by experts, Jonty Hearnden and Paul Hayes, walks one family through the process of turning what they thought was trash into treasure.

Be it a trip to Disney, a flight to New Zealand, or a brand new patio, Cash in the Attic works with families who want to raise money for a specific project. Invited into the family's home, the show's experts, Jonty Hearndon and Paul Hayes, help them go through their possessions, sniffing out potential items of value. Anything that is found then goes to auction.

While the object is clearly for the family to make enough money for them to achieve their goals, the outcome is by no means a foregone conclusion. Combining fascinating tales of family history with circumstance and the unpredictability of the auction room, Cash in the Attic is guaranteed to get you rummaging through your closets.
