In 2001 Jonty was approached by Leopard Films to present a new antiques show for BBC television called "Cash in the Attic". Jonty appeared in the first ever recording and for the past ten years has been in all seventeen subsequent series including six series of "Cash in the Celebrity Attic".

Alongside Angela Rippon, Jonty has made six series of BBC's "Sun Sea and Bargain Spotting" and all four series of the popular programme "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is."
