Johnny Vegas' Little Shop Of Antiques | Preview (Quest)

Johnny Vegas' Little Shop Of Antiques is an 8x60 series which will see the comedian open an antiques shop in the North West. Viewers will follow Vegas as he hunts and repairs antiques to add to his collection, and aims to make enough profit to make the shop a permanent business.

The show will show a new side to the TV personality which promises hilarious disasters, unusual finds and touching moments as he attempts to turn his ramshackle dream into a reality.

In the first episode, Vegas prepares to opens a pop-up shop called Vintage Vegas in Cheshire. However, it quickly becomes apparent that his personal pieces, including a giant knife, may not cut it in terms of stock, so he visits some specialised vendors. But, in his excitement, will a failure to haggle prove costly?

Elsewhere, the comedian and actor is to embark on his most personal project in an artistic love letter to his hometown. Johnny Vegas: Art, ADHD and Me, a two-part series for Channel 4, will see one of Britain’s best loved entertainers and trained potters take on the biggest artistic challenge of his career: to create a piece of public art for St. Helens in Merseyside. 

What starts as a creative endeavour turns into a journey of self-discovery when Johnny receives a diagnosis of ADHD. Though the original artistic vision falters, the documentary uncovers a silver lining—an honest and heartfelt conversation about mental health and understanding yourself.

Johnny Vegas' Little Shop Of Antiques begins Tuesday 8th July on Quest.
