I Pit "Cash In The Celebrity Attic!"

OMG, I always wondered what happened to her. She had a talk show for a spell in my area back in the early 70s, I think.

Annoyingly-voiced Angela Rippon! Taking precious TV time away from the adorable Alistair Appleton Angela Rippon! Get the hell off my telly Angela Rippon!

Oh please, like I’d ever want to go to England.

Not entirely on-topic, but every time I hear the title “Cash in the Attic”, I think to myself, “I’ve got junk in the trunk.* Does that count?”

*I do! I’ve got whole landfills in there.

Thanks. Now that’s all I’ll be able to think about when I watch the show. :stuck_out_tongue:

I never can get this show (‘normal’ or celeb). These people claim they dont have any money and have to sell these items for little billys toe surgery and when the presenter comes to raid the house the people selling always seem to have hundreds of expensive items like pearl necklaces, etc. While I fully understand people can receive such items as gifts or they are passed down from generation to generation, it strikes me that these people have lots of money and dont really need to sell their items. It seems they’d rather sell of great-grandads war medals than part with their cash from their bank accounts - grippy assholes!

Bargain Hunt is a silly format. They are buying from antique markets (different from flea markets) and selling at auction when the usual thing done to make a buck is buy at auction and sell elsewhere. Dickinson’s Real Deal is truer to life and far more entertaining.

As David would say, “It’s cheap as chips!”! I think I’ve only ever once seen a couple make a + £100 pound profit.
