Original subtitles

JOHNNY: No, it's happened again.

Bev!

NARRATOR: This time, holiday memories...

I snogged a woman and she was 70, if she was a day.

Oh, that's so wrong!

...misspent youth...

I'd take up smoking again and stand there in a kimono.

(LAUGHS)Just looking out the window going, "Morning, Blackpool."

...and big boys' toys...

Ooh, I want that joystick!

To millions, Johnny Vegas is known

as an award-winning stand-up comedian...

Good evening, Benidorm!(CHEERING) ...much-loved actor...

I've got no range, but distinctive is what I do.

...and celebrated artist.

But he's also a collector of vintage. The odd...

This was once the pilot of a flying badger.

...and the extraordinary.

Why I bought this and what I paid for it, I'm takin' the fifth.

Now, after years of dreaming,

he's turning his hobby into a business...

Oh, wow, it's massive!

...by opening his very own vintage and collectibles shop.

Oh, now it feels real.

So with the help of lifelong friend and assistant, Bev...Well done.

...he's finally parting with some of his collection.

I'm really attached to it. And hitting the road...

God, we look like swingers!(LAUGHS)

...in search of hidden treasures to stock the shop.

(GASPS)

Buying low...30 quid!

No, not 65. Just go to 70.

(LAUGHS) Are there any other monstrosities you've purchased?

...in the hopes of selling high. 200 quid.

Thank you.Deal done. I like it.

But as a first-time dealer...

has Johnny got what it takes...

Auctions are not a good place for Johnny.

I've spent double the budget. You don't trust me, do you?No.

It's been a tough week.

...to turn his lifelong passion...

Get in! There you go, buddy. There we go.

...into the business of his dreams?

(WHISPERS) I do know what I'm doing!

I hope my favourite plane is still here.

What's your favourite plane? The one with the black and white striped nose.

I don't know what it's called. Just a plane. I like the colours. I like the style of it.

I don't know what it does, what it was used for, but I like that one.

Will you just stop bombarding me with technical details?

(LAUGHS)

Today, Johnny and Bev are on their way to the Newark Air Museum in Nottinghamshire.

They've been invited by Johnny's old friend and museum curator

Kevin Graham to investigate a vintage aeroplane

that could be of some value to his shop.

KEVIN: Yeah, Johnny's been here a couple of times. He's like a kid in a sweet shop

when he comes here, he loves it.

If he's interested, he can have a look and I can offload and make some space.

It's a Canberra PR.7, ready for scrapping.

Oh.It's been beyond saving for many years.

Told the owners to remove it from the museum 'cause of its state, they immediately donated it to us.

I'm not adverse to puttin' some stuff in the shop that's repurposed.

Okay.Basically, we'll see what's available on the plane...Yeah.

...that hasn't already been claimed.

There might be a joystick that takes me eye.

Small parts and joysticks.

Sounds like my autobiography.(LAUGHS)

Meeting Johnny and Bev at Newark to run the rule

over this plane is Johnny's old friend Stu.

With 17 years' experience as an aviation engineer,

he's now an expert at turning scrap planes into bespoke furniture.

So with aircraft, the key is history and vintage.

Something old,

ex-military or civil, that people recognise.

How historic is it, and can people connect with it?

They're the key things to look for.

All right.

Group hug.

Hello, gents. As you were.

Hello, buddy.The man with the plan. How are you doing?

Yeah, great. Great.

Kevin.How are you doing?

They'll let anyone in these days.

Kev, I've not told him yet.

Shall we show him or tell him?

We'll show him. All right, Go on, pick a plane, any plane.Ohh!

This is what we are...

disposing of.

That's mint. That's massive.

Capable of operating at altitudes of 14,000 metres

and speeds of 900 kilometres per hour over a range of 5,000 kilometres

without needing to refuel, the Canberra was the perfect reconnaissance plane.

Active since 1953, it played a key role

in intelligence gathering throughout the Cold War

and in conflicts from the Suez Crisis to the first Gulf War.

There's still two or three that I know of still flying.

NASA fly these now.

They're the only ones in the world that are flying.Why?

I don't mean why, like, how come? Because they were so good and so ahead of their time.

Canberra's are... the RAF flew these 'til the early 2000s

and they had... The Eurofighter was in development and flying,

but they still flew these 'cos they were so good.

There's a cult following for these. There's a massive provenance for them.Yeah.

But for this Canberra PR.7, the war is definitely over.

As you can see...

Oh, wow. Blimey. That's why she's going.

It's seen better days.Yeah.

Before it's consigned to the scrap heap,

can Johnny and Stu rescue some parts to upcycle and preserve

as unusual items to be sold in the shop?

Ohh!

Ohhh!

If nothing else,

could I have that?

Could I have this section for me?

Are you literally going to cut it up? I'm going to cut it up. Yeah.

This is my thing now.

Graphics.

Decals, you know what I mean? Stuff that hasn't been clipped. That's gorgeous.

I need...

stuff off this that can be a pretty quick turnaround.Yeah.

Good to go. But I just love that. I love that flag up there.

I think that's got a little bit... Well, we'll have a look on the other side,

see if that's in better nick. Right, okay.

But the Canberra PR.7 isn't just beautiful on the outside,

it's inner workings can cause a particular reaction in men of a certain age.

(EXCITEDLY) Ohhh...

Throttle reverse, that section there!

With a whole host of parts, great and small,

that could potentially be converted into collectibles.

We could save that.

But I'm just blinded by bits of brilliant little objects.

Has it got... Please tell me.

Please tell me. Oh, I want that joystick!

That's not a joystick. It is not a computer.

Well, what is it? That's your control column.

Yeah, it's a joystick.

(GASP) Look at that.

You're literally just cutting bits of plane out, or I am...

Yeah...and straightening them up and making them presentable.

There's not a lot of overheads, and you could charge a decent amount for some of that.Okay.

So we need to capitalise as much as we can off it.

But I don't see as capitalising. I see it as preserving.

If we're getting it all for now, or we can make a donation from the sale of them.

There's wheels, there's tables, all the parts with the decals on.

All of this is material that can be used quickly.

Little things. Little trinkets that people could have and he could sell in his shop.

This is mega, mega, mega.

So the plan is preservation.

Yeah.Just historical preservation.

We'll sell it. Donate some of the money back to here.

We're just... We're just saving it for somebody...

put it on the shelf, or have it in the house.

Yeah.Admire it, it's their talking point.

I'd say something like this is what made British aviation as good as it is.

This, Concorde, the Vulcan, the Lightning, nailed on.

They made British aviation as good as it is.

Well, then it'll be a privilege, won't it? Preserve it, share it.

I'm proud when we get to...

rescue pieces like this and it's got to go.

Anything we do, anything we take off this plane

is a positive, carries it forward, helps the museum, helps us

and Stu's talking quick turnaround.

So it's all feasible.

Little goldmine, a little morally

in-corrupted gold mine.

Makes me proud to be British.

Now, is it all right to call that a joystick?

No, it's a control column.

Just get your geek on, you two. I did tell him. I did tell him.

2 Forty quid for the pair. And a picture? Yeah, fine.

If 40 swings it, I'll do it for 40, but I won't go any lower than that.

Back at Johnny Vegas' pop-up collectibles and antique shop, business is brisk,

with small items flying off the shelves.

So the shop is... I have empty shelves.

I'm going out on a buying trip now.

I've got to bear in mind, I don't want stock sitting around.

Buy with the same passion but buy smart.

Keep small, buy stuff you know you can sell.

And on the search for those small items, Johnny and Bev

are making a shopping pilgrimage to the Vegas of the North.

Blackpool!

Today they are heading to The Regent.

Still active as a cinema, this 1920s listed building

is also now home to three floors of antiques

populated by over 50 different dealers.

Overseeing proceedings is Carole Moran.

There is always a deal to be made here at The Regent.

It is a total mismatch of absolutely everything.

Antiques, collectibles, vintage, retro.

With so much choice available, this day out by the seaside

is not just a shopping opportunity.

It's a trip down memory lane.

I do. I get proper flashbacks here. Every other week,

I'd do a coach trip to Blackpool and we'd go to t'Palace.

It was the best place ever, it had three dance floors.

You organised that?

If you could dance, if you was a mover and a shaker.

Was you down there? (LAUGHS)

I was upstairs, there was stag and hens,

sort of worse for wear. You were up there.

It's in me book.(LAUGHS)

I snogged a woman, she was 70, if she was a day.

She took a shine to me.

And the worst thing, she said,

"You remind me of one of me sons."

Oh, that's so wrong.

I know.Oh, God.

Oh, my word. Oh, my word.

(GASPS)

What's up?

I'd move in that. You could what?I'd live in that. You would, wouldn't you?

I'd take up smoking again and stand there in a kimono,

just looking out the window going,

"Morning, Blackpool."

Hello. Is it Carol?Oh, hiya, Carol.

How you doing?How you doing?

This is fabulous. It is. It's an amazing place.

Honestly, I think just looking around, I think you've reinvented the word eclectic.

(BEV AND CAROL LAUGH)

If you can't find something in here...That's it.

...your soul has already departed your body.

(BOTH LAUGH)

In this den of delights, finding low-priced,

easy to sell items, known in the trade as smalls, will be far from easy.

Oh, God, there's too much.

This is...

That's not to say it won't be fun.

Bev.Yeah?

(GASP) God, your mom would have loved this place.

Look at these.Yes, she would.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Yeah, he's gonna love having a mooch in here for sure.

So it'll be interesting to see what he comes back with at the end of the day.

Ohh!

Oh, that's horrible.

That's beautifully horrible.

See, what I love coming to a place like this is it just...

It's like it lets your ADHD off the leash.

And with Johnny off the leash, things are about to get random.

(SIGHS)

That's a brilliant title, isn't it? "Lake District Walks For Motorists."

(LAUGHING)

Out of my way!

That's got to come home with me.

Ohh!

Oh, this place. Can I just live here?

Oh, fabulous.

God.

For generations of holidaymakers, Blackpool was the home of holiday romance.

What's in here now?

To which Johnny Vegas has just discovered a suitable soundtrack.

I think...

maybe it's me, but in terms o

erm, this should be a request, not a demand.

(LAUGHS)

The track after that is Am I Wasting my Time?

I'm not making this up.

Wowzer.

And from old-school romance, Johnny's next find

is a love letter to the beautiful game.

Oh, this could be nice.

Fifteen quid in the graphics alone.

I think I'm more suited for ballet.

Red versus White at the... It's complete.

Oh, I like this.

Yep, that is coming with.

It's 15 quid. I mean, there are times...

I'd just take that out and frame that.

Honestly, I would. I like that.

But honestly, I'd... I'd had that point of going,

I think I've seen too much but...

I'm looking at vintage cards.

Some of them been written in, some of them haven't.

I think they're absolutely adorable.

Some are three quid, some are four quid, some are two quid, some are one quid.

I literally would love to say,

"Can I hand-pick a bundle of maybe 100?"

And ask what price would be acceptable for that.

I'd love to give them to people.

I'd love the romance of if they get posted somewhere,

great. If they get written in, great, it's not marketing.

It's just a lovely, lovely way to go,

"Thank you for coming in the shop."

With Johnny in his happy place,

the discovery of a doll's outfit knitting pattern

triggers a long-buried Vegas family trauma.

That I just...

It reminds me of when I came home with my first perm.

It rocked the family to its very core.

From postcards to perms, the eclectic Regent continues to deliver for Johnny.

Yep. Be-de-boo-boo.

Vintage, West German, ceramic brown colour plant pot.

Having that... have a bit of that. I like it. Yeah.

Now watch me drop it.

(CRASH)Shit, it happened again.

It's two quid I'll never see back.

Sorry.

Bev.

Bev.

Got some of these. I love Elvis.

Bev, that's my, "I broke something," call Bev!

With Johnny already two pounds down on the day and having not even made a purchase,

the last thing he needs is something pricey catching his eye.

Oh, my God.I know! Absolutely stunning.

They're 600 quid, though. Overpriced, but they're lovely.

But they're stunning, aren't they?

So much stuff in here.I know.

Oh, my God.

2 At The Regent antique and auction centre in Blackpool,

Johnny Vegas is in buyers' seventh heaven...

Oh, there's good stuff.

There's good stuff everywhere.

...discovering a treasure trove of seaside specials.

I'm not making fun. I like that.

But for some reason they've signed it, "Bingo."

I think what I'm going to have to do

genuinely is just try and focus on smalls for today.

Get some pre-sales in, and if I do well, I'll come back

and look at some of the ceramics again.

Having refocused, Johnny is now ready

to cut his first deal of the day with antique card dealer, Anne.

Anne? Come over.ANNE: Hi.

Hello.You've got some lovely stuff! Thank you.

Everywhere's got lovely stuff.

I am a genuine sucker for... greeting cards.Yeah.

And especially antique greeting cards.Okay.

So, they were sent to be kept.

The collecting of antique cards is known as Ephemera Collecting,

with keen buyers always on the lookout for items with personal

or unique historical connections.

They were treasured.Yeah. Some of these will come from the trenches and stuff like that.

I had some sweetheart ones just recently,

I sold them, that were sent by women to their husbands in the war.

And they were gorgeous. Yeah.

Look at that!

"The old wish from the old home." (GASPS).

I've a letter in me house off me mum, framed.

And it says, "Never forget. You can always come home."

Aww.It was a postal order.

So when you see something like that and you go...Yeah.

We all send text messages these days and there's nothing,

there's no sentiment in them. Yeah, I know.

Well again, when was the last time you re-read an email?

Yes, that's right, yes.

I've got to ask you.

These are kind of priced...

per item.Yeah.To go.

How many cards could you let go today?

And if you did, at what price do you think you could do it as, er...

Obviously, I can, yeah, work with you, um... ...speaks to me. But I want to...

What would you look at per card, maybe? And we can go from there.

I'd say for 50, if I gave you...

you're gonna hate me.

No, go on.20 quid.

Thirty quid, tops.

Yeah. Yeah, I'll do that.

Really?Yeah.

I'll come back and go, "How much for 200?"

(LAUGHS)

Oh, they're fabulous.

Is this just a jigsaw puzzle?

Yes, it's a game.It's a game? It's a 1950s game. You can take it out of the bag if you want.

What have you got on it? I've got 10 on it but I can do it for less.

What would you say?I'd say 10.

You've done me a good deal on the cards.Okay.

That was just a last-minute...Yeah.

Hoo Zoo? I can't wait to play this.

I love board games where it ends with a tiger...

(LAUGHS) Yeah....finding its kill.

Hoo Zoo.

And it's not only Johnny who's been hunting down bargains.

I've bought a ring. I've bought a vintage silk scarf.

I've bought a disco ball for my camper van.

I bought a hip flask. I bought some Elvis fridge magnets.

I've had a brilliant day out.

But can Johnny be as decisive?

Carole wants to lock up and I don't want to leave. I just want to keep walking round.

I wanna keep picking up objects. I just want to keep looking at

what every individual trader has got. It's great.

And with only the greeting cards and a board game in the bag,

before closing time, Johnny must cut a deal with Carole to make today's visit worthwhile.

And I don't know what to do on this because the prices are already,

if I'm really honest, are really good.Yeah.

So I don't know what room you've got. I'm basically,

the more I save, the more smalls I can buy.

We have a discretionary 10% discount.

Yeah, 10% off would be...Sorted.

Er...

With a 10% discount in the bag,

Johnny can now fill his boots with some proper Blackpool bargains.

That, then?Yeah.

It's nice. I like it.

This type of mid-century West German pot,

with its distinctive lava glaze, has had a recent resurgence

on the collectors' market, with pristine ones especially holding their value.

The graphics are fantastic.

The graphics were painted by someone who's never played football in their life.Hm, yeah.

"A Cup final every day!"

This 1960s game was manufactured in Glamorgan in Wales

and has become quite a collectible toy.

# Do-do-be-do-boo #

Found some more stuff.

Can we discuss... Great collection of stuff.

This, I'm just taking that out of circulation so nobody's gonna buy it.

Hailing from Liverpool while The Beatles were still in school,

Russ Hamilton was climbing the charts in both the UK and the US

with We Will Make Love.

Er, "Lake District Walks for Motorists," I just love.

At just two pounds,

Johnny's hoping that this purchase will pay for itself in laughs alone.

Today was absolutely magnificent.

It's great. Got wonderful smalls and some larges at small prices.

And the stuff we've got will definitely work on behalf of the shop.

We maintain some credibility

and we have got that little bit of sort of the quirky.

Never a bad day in Blackpool.

Ooh, I didn't pay you! I broke something round there.

Another day, another dollar says the shopkeeper.

Alright there, Gordon Gekko. I'm enjoying... I know, yeah. Go get him! Sell, sell, sell.

Do you know what I like with the shop now?Yeah.

I have me little bit of,

"what am I not doing right?" But I don't beat myself up.

It's a positive way of the ADHD going,

"think about that shelf, think about this, let's do that, let's move that."

That little bit, it's like Open All Hours.(LAUGHING) Yeah, I was gonna say that!

When you're setting up and you're going, "I can process me thoughts today".

And then the minute the doors open, you just go... the selling bit's bliss.

But it's not all domestic bliss at Vintage Vegas.

This is quite a random shop... It's not.

The graphics are brilliant. The box is brilliant. That will appeal to...

Hunters. ...a toy guy. I just wish it was complete. I wish I'd checked.

How much did you pay for it? Doesn't matter. It says, "Hoo Zoo."

What bloody mindset were you in in Blackpool, buying all of this?

Because it's... Visually...

I'll go and get Dave.

Basically, smalls allow you to keep the space going.

Normally, the large items tend to go to dealers.

But in the interim, whilst you're ticking over, again, you're not curating a museum,

so the smalls, people come in, they can walk away.

And they're taking home a story.

Five minutes' chat with someone and I can shift all this.

Once they understand where the irony, the charm, the beauty of it lies.

I'll enjoy selling this stuff. I'll enjoy proving Bev wrong.

And helping Johnny prove Bev wrong

and price up the Blackpool haul is dealer friend Dave.

Hiya, rocker. Hey, how we doing?

You've been buying, haven't you? I've been buying.

I've been buying but, like, I haven't bought big.

The little bits I've bought, you know what? They're all just making me laugh.

Bev can't get her head round them.

Save your favourite till last because last time you did your best first.

So do your best last. Honestly, there's nothing.

Or do you just love it all? I'll tell you, I'll give you my most sensible first

and it's at this end and it's boxed.

It's good to go. Oh, I'm loving it already.

Tabletop soccer. The fact that it's in the box.

Apart from the ball inside, this is the real deal.

That is the real deal.

It's the box, again, that does it for me.

And the thing is, what you imagine,

that's the first thing that puts the smile on the face.

I'll ask you this time, what would you comfortably put on that in the shop?

'Cos I know what...45, 45. I'd go more.

Really?I would've comfortably put...

to give you some wiggle room, you know, 55, 65 quid on that.

The vase.

Not the most stunning example...

but 12 quid and it's West German.

It's of that era.

They actually... they gave me a discount.

Yeah, of course. We've been looking for a dog bowl outside

for biscuits and stuff.Absolutely.

That's what that's now become.

Now I've seen that chip.

You know when you go, "Yeah, it's dog biscuits."Yeah.

(BLEEP)

Unfortunately, having bought it without seeing it was damaged,

Johnny's lost any hope of it making a profit.

Right. "Lake District Walks For Motorists."

(LAUGHS)

If you can't see the irony in that.

It's worth it just for that, innit?

Again, bought it on graphics. Hoo Zoo.

Hoo Zoo? The game that shows you how life really is in the wild.

Yeah.Me and Bev tried to play it earlier, and the next thing

she'd sunk her teeth into me arm.Yeah.

I won't see much more on it.

I just...You're not gonna get a lot on it. 15, maybe 20 at absolute push.Yeah. No, 15.

Turn it round, go on.Go on.

"We will..." Oh, my God.(LAUGHS)

"We Will Make Love." Not "Please Can We?".

"We Will Make Love." "We Will Make Love."

Believe it or not, it was only four quid.

Yeah, that don't surprise me but it's worth it.

I think it's a tenner for a giggle. It's worth it for the giggle.

And these, I'm a sucker for them.

I handwrite a lot of letters anyway, but they're just vintage postcards.

Some are written on, some aren't, and I'm thinking,

I might just give them out like, almost like a receipt with every purchase.

Some of these are lovely, aren't they?Yeah.

All right, listen, cheers, Dave.

No, thank you.As always, mate.

No, anytime. Anytime. Just give us a shout. Do me a favour.

If you bump into Bev, tell her, "He did right."

I will.Okay.I think you have.

Yes, I'm happy to do that.

Her near-sightedness will be my success.

See you later, mate.Okay.

Since the opening of Vint

one item in particular has been the centre of attention for kids and big kids alike,

the customised and still working Speed Racer.

But is Johnny willing to sell this prized item?

You all right, fella?

Oh, the ride.MAN: Yeah.

Now then. There's a story behind that because I've got to ask me son if I can sell it.

Do you wanna have a go on it first?

See how you find it. The only thing is with it, there's no timer on it.

So you'd literally... Once you'd put your money in, it'll keep going.

You need somebody with you to turn it off at the wall.

Give it a go. See how you feel.

The guns either side of the steering, er, they do work.

The red ones.

Well, we just switch it off at the wall. (LAUGHS)

You all right? It's not easy to get off, is it?

So did it make you queasy or excited?

Really?

Ooh. You see, I haven't even... I've not priced that up yet

'cos I thought I'd just have it in here for kicks, for kids to have a bit of fun on.

But me and me son converted that from a '70s spaceship ride.

You've really caught me out now.

Go away, right... No, I don't mean go away like get out.

Erm, have a think on a price for it and let me ask me son.

Yeah. Yeah. Did you have a figure in mind?

No...

All you need is to see off one of your relatives...

BOY: Okay....and they'll leave you some money.

Don't put ideas in his head. (BOTH LAUGH)

Nice to meet you.All right. Cheers, pal. Cheers, brother.

I'm glad... I'm made up you like it.

He's not having it.

Oh, my God.

2 STU: Hello!

Look at it. I brought you some stuff.

Come here, you.Last time you saw this, it was on a plane.

Oh! You all right?

Having worked extra fast to convert Johnny's haul of historic Canberra plane items,

it's the day of delivery by old friend Stu Abbott.

That's really good. I'm well happy with that.

Set for the scrap heap,

what was once a 20-metre long, 19-metre wide RAF Canberra PR.7

has now been given a second life.

The plane's gone now, the plane has been scrapped.

So this is it.

What remains.This is the remains, so we're like, we're preserving history now.

But can you put a value on history?

And will Stu's work get Johnny's seal of approval?

Oh, ho!

Ahh!

Coasters...Yes.Body...

...casing with...The registration number on, in the original paint.

Nobody's doing these.

They're nice, them as well.

They're cheap wins and I've done you ten lots.

I'd sell them for about 25 quid a set.I'd say 40.

Johnny has decided to split any profits from these items

three ways between Newark Air Museum, Stu and himself.

Think about what that is. It's absolutely unique.

It's a one-off.It's the identity of that plane.

That's had it since it was first built, 'til it was scrapped.

And it's absolutely original.

All I've done to that is clean it up and square it off

and there's a hook on the back. If you were selling out your shop...

If that would go in my shop, that'd be 250 quid.

So, let's talk about the roundel.

I'd love to keep it.

How do you start pricing something like that?

It's difficult because they don't come up.

You don't get genuine bits of planes with RAF roundels on

because they all get scrapped in the RAF or repainted.

You'd want a minimum of 500 quid for that, a minimum.

So that's not it. What do you mean? I made something else.

For the final delivery,

Stu is hoping to knock Johnny's socks off with some reflected glory.

Oh, God!

But not just any mirror, I made a mirror.

Taking three days' work,

this decorative mirror with jet engine cowl surround

has been made from highly-polished metal taken from the plane's body.

It doesn't work 'cause I look fat.

You can see the rivets in it, can't you?

So that's been mirror polished. 'Cause if I was putting that in my shop,

that'd start a thousand pounds.

Let's get them home. All right, let's do it.

I don't think of it as selling them.

I think every dealer feels like a custodian of history.

History passes through your hands. When you're a dealer,

or whether you're a collector, history passes through your hands every day.

Back in the present, Johnny gets to work trying to sell his Blackpool haul

along with the pieces he had upcycled from the old RAF plane.

For people who know their planes... Yeah. ...it's a classic. It's a keeper.

And the first sale of the day is a vindication

of Johnny's Blackpool shopping spree.

You have, and I say it all the time, you have a good eye.(BOTH LAUGH)

Isn't that the weirdest album?

Some of the song titles are a bit, erm...Are brilliant.Yeah.

They're brilliant.Yeah. They're wrong but they're brilliant.

I honestly wanted to frame him and just put him up at home.

And then, you know, I had to remind myself, going, I don't want to be single all me life.

Oh, you'll have a laugh with this.

We Will Make Love.

Tenner.

Sold.Thank you.

And if this is going in your vinyl collection, I'd put it at the back.(LAUGHS)

I'm taking this win and I'm going to enjoy it.

Bev!Yes?

Don't ever question me on vinyl again.

(LAUGHS)

And the Blackpool buys continue to attract attention.

Now, then.MAN: Hiya, are you okay?

I'm good. Who's this?

This is me son, and he wants to buy something.

Well, then you're not his son. You're my friend.

What do you want to buy?

Wow, that was... You came in hard on that, didn't you?

What's it out there for?

Fifty.Fifty?

(SIGHS) I'll tell you what.

I did alright on it.

Would you meet me at 40?

40 quid and if you put that online tomorrow you'd get 60.

But I don't want you selling it. (PEOPLE LAUGH)

Are you going to keep it and play with it?

If it's 30 quid.Yeah. Look at your dad with big wide eyes

and say, "Dad, can I have an extra fiver on my pocket money?

"Because I really want that football game."

Go on. Ready? One, two, three.

Yes.Yeah!

I love it when a deal comes together.

Forty quid. You've done well on that.

Bought purely on the appeal of the box art,

Johnny has more than doubled his money with the sale

of this vintage table football game.

But can he shift the bigger ticket items from the plane?

Can you tell me a bit about this? You have a good eye.

I know my husband's a big collector of World War II.

We have Mary tins and all those kind of things.

So, what can you tell me?

I can tell you it's a Canberra jet.

So it's technically it's kind of post-World War II.

Right.Possibly the most

successful jet that the Air Force ever produced.

NASA still use this plane.Oh.

It's come from Newark Museum.

Okay.The owner couldn't afford to maintain it. They had to scrap it.

So we've taken everything off it.

We're doing a portion of the sale is going back to Newark as a charity.Okay.

But yeah. This is its call sign.

It was cut off the plane like this.

We've done nowt to it.

It's a real part of aeronautical history.

So you're telling me it's one-off?

It's beyond a one-off. I'm telling you, it's a steal, 250.

For a collector, this is good.

Okay, I'll have it for 250.

Yeah, you've got a deal. And you've got a cracking... Honestly.

I know lads who'll go mad for this. They'll go mad at me for selling it.

I got there first. You did.

Another piece of history has changed hands at a really good price.

Everyone's winning from this deal.

I can give money back to Newark and they're thrilled.

Her husband will be made up when he sees that.

He has got something nobody else in the country will have.

How can you not be happy?

Vintage Vegas - we are the gift that keeps on giving.

As another day at Vintage Vegas comes to a close,

a returning customer is back in town

to test Johnny's resolve on perhaps his most prized item,

the customised Speed Racer.

Hiya buddy.Hi.How's it going?

Good.What can I do for you?

You know the Speedster out there...

(SIGHS)

(LAUGHS)

I do.

What would be your best offer?

I'd want, only because my son worked so hard on it...

I'd like 900 but there's never been another one made.

We spent two days masking up, painting it, doing everything.

That's a proper part of our history, social history that, so I've gotta say 900.

Okay.What, you will?Yeah.

(ALL LAUGH)

You'll pay 900 for it?Yeah.

Are you...

(SIGHS)

Well done.Oh, my...

You've got a Speeder Bike. You've got the only Speeder Bike.

It was made by Johnny Vegas and his son.

I swear to God, if it wasn't you, I would not sell it.

I've had dealers chasing me over it, and I won't give it to dealers.

You're going to keep it?Yeah. You're going to enjoy it.Yeah.

Take it, enjoy it. Well done.

You've got yourself an absolute bargain.

Thanks.No.

Thank you.That's amazing.

It's the biggest wrench of all the sales I've made.

I've got more memories tied up with that, and it's me and me son in a shed.

I will miss that in way that I...

honestly don't have the vocabulary to express right now.

I'll probably have a little bit of a moment over that.

But that young lad who's took it with him, loves it.

It was the right time to let go.

It's not easy but it was the right thing to do.

We did really good on that. It was a dad and lad thing.
