00:00All the people I've fallen out with in my home town,
00:02I just want to walk around and just go,
00:04I said, good day, sir!
00:07This time...
00:08It's our last weekend.
00:10As the shop's short-term lease comes to an end.
00:13Let's sell everything that we've got in this shop.
00:16Johnny's head is turned by high-end antiques.
00:19That is really, really...
00:21I know.
00:23He tries his hand at puppeteering.
00:25All right, Mum.
00:26Are we having oven chips again?
00:28And considers his future as a dealer.
00:31I don't want to shut the show.
00:36To millions, Johnny Vegas is known as an award-winning stand-up comedian.
00:40Good evening, Billy Joe!
00:42Much-loved actor...
00:43I've got no range, but distinctive is what I do.
00:47..and celebrated artist.
00:51But he's also a collector of vintage.
00:54The odd...
00:55This was once the pilot of a flying badger.
00:58..and the extraordinary.
01:00Why I bought this and what I paid for it, I'm taking the fifth.
01:04Now, after years of dreaming,
01:06he's turning his hobby into a business.
01:08Oh, wow, it's massive.
01:10..by opening his very own vintage and collectible shop.
01:14Oh, now it feels real.
01:17So, with the help of lifelong friend and assistant Bev...
01:20Well done. ..he's finally parting with some of his collection.
01:24I'm really attached to it.
01:25..and hitting the road...
01:26God, we look like swingers.
01:28..in search of hidden treasures to stop the shop.
01:31Ooh!
01:33..buying low...
01:34..30 quid.
01:35No, not 60...
01:36..just go to 70.
01:37Are there any other monstrosities in pages?
01:40..in the hopes of selling high.
01:42200 quid.
01:43Deal done.
01:44I like it.
01:45But as a first-time dealer...
01:49..has Johnny got what it takes?
01:51Auctions are not a good place for Johnny.
01:53Spank double the budget.
01:55You don't trust me, do you?
01:56No.
01:58It's been a tough week.
02:00..to turn his lifelong passion...
02:02Get in!
02:03There you go, brother.
02:04There we go.
02:04..into the business of his dreams.
02:07Do you know what I'm doing?
02:09Right, OK, let's get stuff moving.
02:29Thank you for your patience.
02:31We are open for business.
02:32We've just had a little bit of setting up...
02:34..because we sold a lot of stuff last weekend...
02:36..and we've been trying to restock.
02:38..welcome to the shop.
02:40Come in.
02:41I had a friend like that, but it was a monkey.
02:44LAUGHTER
02:47Johnny's short-term lease on his pop-up shop...
02:50..feel free to browse.
02:51Ask on prices.
02:52There's Wiggle.
02:53..is coming to an end.
02:55Have you seen these down here?
02:57Have you wanted a bit of fun?
02:58Look at the titles they've got.
03:01I'll put this grip and crawl about.
03:03LAUGHTER
03:05That's a really sweet little piece, though.
03:07..I'm in sales, my mum.
03:10So far, he's been doing a roaring trade.
03:13Yeah, done. Thank you very much.
03:15Aw.
03:16Do you all right, Tana?
03:17..selling most of the items from his buying trips.
03:20It is one of the best examples of studio ceramics I have bought
03:24in a long, long time.
03:26Well done.
03:27LAUGHTER
03:28You are.
03:29And pieces from his personal collection,
03:31including prized treasures...
03:33Didn't think he'd let it go.
03:34..well done.
03:35..well done, you.
03:36Cherish it.
03:37..he thought he would never part with.
03:40Right.
03:41Who's next?
03:44Hiya, mate.
03:45Hi.
03:46I'm guessing you want to talk to me about something.
03:49Nice.
03:51Right.
03:52Nice.
03:53I've had it in my kitchen,
03:55and I thought some chefs might buy it,
03:57but they didn't.
03:58Who's it for?
03:59Is it for you or for you?
04:00LAUGHTER
04:01She said she'd buy half it.
04:02She said how much you think he'd sell it for.
04:04I'd love 400, I'd let it go for 350.
04:07What was you thinking?
04:10About that.
04:11What, 350?
04:12Yeah.
04:13You didn't.
04:14You said 300.
04:15LAUGHTER
04:16I know, but if I can come down from four
04:18and you can come up from three...
04:20In the middle.
04:21..and we do 350...
04:23Deal.
04:24Don't know who I'm going to put it.
04:25Wonderful.
04:26Do you know what?
04:27It's just...
04:28It's a brilliant, brilliant talking piece.
04:30I've had my fun with it.
04:31Been in the kitchen,
04:32everyone's like,
04:33where the heck did you get that?
04:34You'll have the same fun out of it.
04:36It's utterly cathartic.
04:41It's gone.
04:42I've sold it,
04:43and I've not lost money.
04:44I've made 100 quid.
04:45Yes, I've sat on it for six years,
04:47but whilst I've been sitting on that knife,
04:50which sounds wrong,
04:51it's held its value,
04:52and more so.
04:53I'm not as torn.
04:54I can be torn over an object this big.
04:57It's a massive knife.
04:58I'll never have another one,
04:59but they've got it now,
05:01and it's theirs,
05:02and I love the fact that they want to take it home.
05:04They're going home with that,
05:05and they're going home with that,
05:06and they're going to go,
05:07where the heck did you get a giant knife?
05:08And they go,
05:09Johnny Vegas.
05:10Once again,
05:12Johnny has proved he has an eye for the unusual.
05:15Walks for motorists.
05:17The irony of that when I'm ready.
05:19Let's do it for 12.
05:20That can turn a profit.
05:22Right, see you later.
05:25It's a weird mix.
05:27I've run out of stuff.
05:28Empty shelves,
05:29blank walls.
05:31Keen to fill the gaps on his shelves with a few signature smalls,
05:34there's just enough time to squeeze in one more buying trip.
05:40So where are we going?
05:41Going to a castle.
05:42Ooh.
05:43Today,
05:47Johnny and Bev are travelling over 100 miles northeast to Harrogate.
05:52Fellow Dagfields dealer John Eggleston has invited them to a prestigious trade show.
05:58For me, if it's John, it's going to be higher end.
06:03But it's an unknown quantity other than idyllic surroundings.
06:07Yeah.
06:08You can finish your map of great scones of Britain.
06:12Is that what I'm doing?
06:14I'll go and test the scones.
06:16But I don't know if it's going to prefer, no pun intended, on smalls.
06:20I'll have a mooch.
06:21I'll have a mooch and I will keep an eye out for some smalls for you.
06:24That just makes you sound like a curdo who's buying me under.
06:28He does!
06:29Do you know what? The minute I said that!
06:31I'll have some nice underpants for you.
06:35This exclusive ticketed fair is held twice a year
06:39and set in the grounds of Ripley Castle,
06:41a 14th century stately home
06:43situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
06:47It's the perfect backdrop to showcase carefully curated antiques
06:51and architectural salvage from traders all across the country.
06:55Ripley Castle has always been one of my favourite fairs.
06:58I used to stand here years ago numerous times.
07:01Great atmosphere, great buyers.
07:04Perfect place to come today for Johnny to find some really good quality items.
07:09It's a change from Johnny's usual shopping trips
07:12and a chance to test his knowledge
07:14and flex his dealing muscles in a new trading arena.
07:21Oh, oh, this is it.
07:22Oh, oh.
07:23God, it is fancy, isn't it?
07:25You won't find dirt under the nails here.
07:28Just got a vision of me setting up with 19 gramophones going,
07:31I've had no successful trips.
07:33Oh, actually, this looks very nice.
07:41Hello there.
07:42All right, Johnny, how's it going, mate?
07:44Good to see you.
07:45How are you, John?
07:46Great.
07:47You're looking the part.
07:48And you.
07:49No, I'm looking like your humble servant going.
07:54No, no, no.
07:55I did, I studied for the movie this morning,
07:56I went, what would John look?
07:58What makes me look like a pro?
07:59What makes me look like a seasoned buyer?
08:01Like a pro.
08:02And then all of that was wiped out by pulling up in this.
08:07Good morning, Bev, how are you?
08:08Good morning, I'm all right.
08:09I'm going to have a mooch and leave you two to it.
08:11Cool.
08:12Yeah, it's going to be good today.
08:13This is a real big mix of superb antiques, industrial, rustic.
08:21So, yeah, I think we're going to have a good day.
08:26With John by his side for guidance,
08:28this is the perfect opportunity for Johnny to not only upgrade his stock,
08:32but also sharpen his buying skills.
08:35That's lovely.
08:37As long as he stays focused on the business.
08:40Is it going to fit in with what you want?
08:44No.
08:45No.
08:46No.
08:47It doesn't.
08:48You've got a place for it.
08:49It's got a lovely weathered, worn look.
08:51I've spent my life buying stuff that I haven't got a place for.
08:54It's full, yeah.
08:55Oh, I like that.
08:58The glass.
08:59Yeah.
09:00It is nice.
09:01Got a lovely in my house next.
09:02Next to me in the shop.
09:03There's some great stalls.
09:04I do like looking on these, though.
09:05Ten quid an item.
09:06Might have found a little piece of gold on here.
09:07Ooh.
09:08Giant thunder.
09:09That can't be part of that hat.
09:10It is.
09:11All the people I've fallen out with in my hometown,
09:12I just want to walk around in this going,
09:13I said good day, sir!
09:15Found Bev's birthday present.
09:17What do you think?
09:18No, not me.
09:24Look at these.
09:39These look cool.
09:40That, that one, I like, the gnarly one.
09:42That gnarly one's really good.
09:44good that's a more small so this is 17th century from a chateau called Sam
09:56coach oh yeah yeah Cambrai it's all fallen into disrepair so we were looking
10:02to retrieve really that's a nice one with this the head I like the head on
10:08that that is really really you know what that is go on too much roughage not enough
10:16water go on put me out my misery 250 and that 1175 right I'm not messing about let me
10:31have a wonder let me have a ponder on this yeah it's a beautiful thing it's not what
10:37I left the house to get to there I know but it's just full of credibility and it's got a story you
10:43know what I mean it's one of those they've got a fab look to do that you always want to walk back
10:48burner some from yeah yeah on the front hob on those damn love to walk away now because I think
10:58whoever sees them is gonna so nervous about leaving them behind this is exactly the feeling it's not
11:09just a carving you've got Providence of the chateau so it was what it was to 250 250 and 175
11:17buddle them together so it's 45 I'd like to get them for under 400 375 I I don't want to risk oh bless you
11:28what's the rock-bottom best you can do
11:41new dealer Johnny Vegas is at the Ripley Castle trade fair trying to secure the best price on some
12:03wooden relics from a 17th century chateau what did I say I said to four to five as you've done them
12:09yeah 300 385 love you thank you happy more than that's a great boy
12:22thank you so much it's a pleasure so I think we did okay there we got that for three and five there's a
12:31wiggle room I think if you put the big one on for 300 and you put the smaller one on the fish for 250
12:40these salvage relics came from the ruins of Sancor chateau in Cambrai northern France built in the 17th
12:49century if I get 250 for the fish it means I can keep the large one doesn't it no it just means you're
12:56making profit you can't keep it though yeah but I think I might have a charge a grand for the fish and then I can
13:03keep the other one well we could try right let's carry on having a peruse with over 100 stands all bursting
13:13with rare decorative furnishings and one-of-a-kind pieces Johnny and John have
13:18their work cut out loads of lovely stuff here it's nice graphics it's lovely graphics it's plastic
13:25though I'm not I think John's give them a bit of confidence in the buys to know that there's some
13:31money in them so I think he's tailoring his purchases now to the shop to cover more ground oh I've just
13:38seen something Johnny heads off on his own I'm fascinated what's the story would be happy and
13:44my share yeah came from a magician's estate oh can I have a can have a convention oh this is
13:53definitely princess Jasmine these two I love him he scares me I can't decide whether he oh yes he's just
14:06got something he's got teeth he's got teeth in extreme sinusitis what is it 75 on a 75 each trade or
14:16for you we do 50 each I can I can do that thank you I love having the fair thing behind them going
14:25somebody's gonna love them I'm always a firm believer in there's a collector for everything I'm the guy for
14:31the stuff that you go it's a bit creepy I might have a bye I'll ring the creepy guy creepy hotline I like
14:39them because somebody took the time to sit down and make them and didn't stop to think whether it
14:43would give children nightmares or not they're just colourful they look great in the shop if they don't
14:49shift I'd be surprised I've been a bad boy magician's estate yeah they are the great pieces of folk art so
15:04what is it what do we pay for those he took a price of 75 instead of I think a nice dealers rate but the
15:10three 50 each oh that's good we're gonna get the ticket prices 75 back on those no problem there's a
15:21very fine line some people will look at them and think it's tasks so either beholder stuff if you're
15:27gonna put your stall out and you're gonna be individual I want to be that kind of individual
15:30as the afternoon draws to a close there's just time for one final flurry on smalls let me show
15:40you yeah yeah yeah and Johnny soon spots a stall with a kind of quirky charm he's been hunting for
15:46I'm having this I'm not bothered oh don't blame you yeah it's good it's got a great look to it a big
15:52tool yeah yeah it's bold in it yeah I love the patina on it the thickness of the handle it's so
16:00great you can put that in the middle of the table and it's a statement piece what's on it 30 we can
16:05double it put 60 65 on it it's a great item over here the sorting trough that one's nice it's big yeah
16:15it's good I like the handles on it I've never seen one with the handles like that I'll see what
16:19it'll do me on that because I think 120 years yeah yeah we could do with that coming down a bit if
16:24you're gonna have it in the shop I have a punch on for antique yeah and those those are real but if
16:32we'd have to look at yeah yeah I've some ones not as nice but at a cheap enough price yeah for entry
16:40level yeah those are very good now we've sort of sorted out what we want yeah I'll go find the
16:47fellow go grab him see what we can do I'm gonna sit down here in the position of power I'm gonna do
16:52my bondsville okay he comes in oh yeah mate sorry I'll get off just last minute you're right this is
16:59the good on there they are lovely I want to build it like a rucksack and see backing put some straps
17:06we're off to the options sorry pricing you've got a jug over there priced at 30 I think you price out
17:16dead dead so I'll just set that that's all right I have got one I've never seen one with the handles
17:27all right I don't know how often they shift yeah I do like it it could be 80 quid to use
17:39salting trays also known as salt pans were commonly made from cedar wood and used from the Middle Ages
17:45through to the 19th century designed for salt curing fish and meat preserving them for storage over the
17:52winter months I love the ducks what's the absolute sort of rock bottom best you can do without you losing out the 320 on the pair
18:03very very best 240 the pair there is money in them you know I mean you've gone quiet yeah I was running the calculations
18:17through my head too far I'd if you did get them you're not going to be getting huge amounts out of
18:24them because you'd have to do them for like 150 a piece it's not massive but it's not a loss is it no
18:30but it could be a quick turnover they've got a nice look they're not a massive earner but I still think
18:34it brings summer to the shop I wouldn't mind putting my neck out on that too far too these early 20th
18:43century wooden decoy ducks were originally used in waterfowl hunting to attract real ducks there's a
18:50big collector's market for handcrafted decoys designed by top makers especially in the US I can
18:57keep one in my house and put one out I did better displayed as a pair no display members appear every
19:02time sure you want to be in in this game for 20 years don't be telling me out this place I'll have
19:13you know I was in Benidorm now with all his ducks in a row it's been a satisfying shopping trip for
19:21Johnny I like this they were good that great boys I love the heads on it oh yeah babe all right yeah yeah
19:30we've got some more stuff a pair it all the decoys decoy ducks a salt in bowl I've got puppets the the
19:37lovely things from the chateau the 17th century they're gonna live in the house for just at least
19:43the night I need them to be close to me the jug of all drugs I ain't taking no risks god this is
19:51like imagine when I was 11 and I had an undersized cagoule I could never get off basically rip it off
20:00of myself god this is fabulous I'm gonna let me put it down around here professional trader a

21:54prices are high qualities low what you asking on it it owes me 250 I'm not doing anything with it so if
22:02you want to just use it as a prop for your shop and put a price on it and we can split any profit and if
22:08not you can just give me back when you don't know brilliant there's easy under quitting it more than
22:12that yeah I'd say five yeah it's not five and I take it on commission yeah of course split with
22:18yeah okay well let's start at five and see how we do oh I work is Christopher Tucker yeah the same guy
22:33because yeah I'd really like that it's just a bit different than the heads isn't it yeah
22:38definitely Johnny previously bought a head cast of the actor John Gielgud created by makeup and
22:45prosthetics artist Christopher Tucker it's artistic is exquisite really well cast actually what's the 150

23:39yeah yeah good that was emotional having Chris here Chris was the first proper I would say shop of
23:49this sort that I'd befriended the first person as a trader who started sending me photos of stuff for
23:57me to then do deals with them standing there that's surreal huh it's like being properly acknowledged
24:04as a deal of myself it's it's like certain things have come full circle Johnny's talk to it like a
24:11duck to water buying and selling he's doing a great job he could definitely hold his own in the antiques
24:15trade now he knows what he's doing really proud of him as a friend you see how much he's loving it
24:20hopefully he'll continue because he's got the gift to do it
24:27look at that like be amused woman sat next to Gloria oh I love everybody sat next to Gloria on
24:41the bench it's the last day stuff's gotta go yeah let's enjoy this is the last chance to enjoy selling
24:48first-to-face yeah I love having a shop I love talking about stuff I love sharing it it's like
24:54when we used work behind the bar you get to know people when they're buying stuff that matters to
24:59you I really really thought that you would just love going out buying and then when you get in
25:05the shop would you enjoy the sales and and you really are enjoying the sales and you're really good
25:12far more than I thought I ever would yeah your finger will he let go and you go do you know what
25:21letting go is a bigger person buying oh god now I never thought you'd say that before the doors open
25:29to the public there's just enough time for a few last-minute tweaks death mask African mask death

27:03right you've had a look at the blanks and you want to see the plugged in version yeah the kiss me
27:14quick one that you just had done a deal could be on the cards for Johnny as one couple has taken a
27:19shine to the blackpool illuminations from his personal collection we've paid for graphics and it's
27:26it's backless but I've got to because the graphics because of the time because what I've been I've
27:34got to ask 300 for that okay well 300 it's less it's ready honest trust me it's less it's good to go
27:41we've just getting the medium and a small one and could you do that for 275 I'm not making out off
27:50that but 275 for me um but you're taking two others make me feel a little bit better give me
27:58to 80 and then I don't you know nobody feels like a schmuck you've spent more than you wanted to
28:05and I sold it for less than I wanted to that's always a sign of a good deal isn't it fantastic
28:12with his sales patter honed to a fine art Johnny's managed to secure a bundle deal for a healthy profit
28:19last day sales stuff's going it's selling people seeing the value the value in what I saw in it
28:28word has spread through the dealing community that Johnny is the go-to guy for quirky one-of-a-kind
28:35items professional traders Rick and Mark have traveled up from Stoke to see what's on offer
28:43didn't we have a look at three or four things ever yeah yeah do you want to walk and talk I'm
28:51interested in that if you're looking at stuff in a bundle can we put it together yes because I can do
28:57a deal on that yeah that's what we like to be champion what else then you wills oh the side that's
29:05already really well priced it just fall into free so not yeah but you know what it makes it because
29:13it's falling into pieces you you know I'll let you know now I can't shift that but if we can put it in
29:19here are we starting a bundle yeah well let's check it down how much for the hammer you're breaking me
29:26out because I've priced it you haven't priced it no I don't want to sell it oh but I will but if you
29:32look at it let me get the sign and let me show your hammering days are over I think it's all bloke
29:37should do that he's got two six foot six bloke that is the graphics on that are gorgeous the mallet look
29:45at this do you know what I've owned this so long and I'll be quite honest here I can't remember what
29:53I paid for it um is there anything else what about the circus sign Johnny it's not original but out of
30:03all the reports I bought it looks 50s don't it even though it's one of the best it's super duper yeah
30:09I'd like about 500 on it I think 500 is really reasonable I don't think we're far off right well
30:18if you're still talking about a bundle 450 8 1 13 40 I'll come down 50 on that and you're getting a
30:27massive amount of time for your money for 50 for that a silly money if you knock me a hundred off
30:34that I'll take I can't do it because it's too good to sign it for 50
30:38450 8 1 13 40 I'll come down 50 on that it's the final day in the shop and Johnny Vegas now a
31:02fully fledged dealer is in tough negotiations with professional traders who are trying to drive the
31:08price down on a bundle deal if you knock me a hundred off that I can't do it because it's
31:14too good to sign it for 50 you've done got that yeah that's major trip that's like yeah Alfred
31:26Hitchcock piece isn't it yeah many a night I've realized why I no longer go to the surface well
31:32thank you you've not beat me up I like how you do business yes it's a triumph for Johnny as some of
31:41these pieces have been a part of his personal collection for many years he stuck to his guns
31:47and has managed to get a decent price for the bundle I'm getting respect amongst dealers people are
31:54telling people getting a shot because he's got he's got the weirdest stuff for the best stuff fantastic I can stop having nightmares
32:03I've watched people do this for a living now I'm in it it's nice to feel like people are going it's not
32:11just I'm off the teller he's a proper deal and if I keep doing good deals I could stay in business
32:17spotting another potential sale on the horizon Johnny puts on his game face ready to pounce
32:26who's who isn't it fabulous it is brilliant isn't it it's the graphic on the box it's so wrong

32:46magician right and he made all his own props it's a proper folk art piece it's it's I'm not I'm not

40:51really weird
40:54after decades of collecting unusual treasures
40:57years of dreaming
40:59and months of careful planning
41:00vintage Vegas has turned into a thriving pop-up business
41:05but is Johnny ready to say goodbye to the world of dealing
41:09have you found it then
41:10shutting the door and that's it
41:11it's done
41:12I think it were an experiment
41:14and it's turned into
41:18for mental health
41:19for everything without being too deep
41:21selling stuff has been the most cathartic experience I've ever enjoyed
41:27has it
41:28yeah
41:29because it's brought me out myself
41:30it's been a really emotional
41:33yeah it's been a journey
41:34yeah
41:35we're starting out a virgin business
41:38fabulous
41:39you made me first sales
41:41I feel like I've been married to you for 30 years

42:19you found your tribe
42:20yeah
42:21you're either on stage
42:23and if you're not I struggle to communicate I can communicate when I'm
42:27discussing stuff definitely so with objects I can actually share more about

42:38happy finally gone I think confidence-wise I could make a living from

42:49it whatever that next step is it's been successful and it's something to go away
42:53and think about it was a pop-up it's not now it's an ambition I want to have a
42:58show oh wow so good I'm good good I think I I trust my instincts I'm feeling
