Johnny Vegas has landed his very own Channel 4 documentary series and it’s all about camping sites.
The Benidorm comedian will be joined by his long-suffering assistant Bev as they source and renovate five vintage, single story buses and transform them into unique holiday homes on wheels on a site in Wales.
But with no previous experience of running a business or conducting renovations on this scale, the duo have a long battle ahead as they try to establish a must-stay glamping site in time for the summer season.
Yep, George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces has nothing on this.
Speaking about the story behind the new series, Johnny revealed: ‘I bought a bus online. Not because it’s what showbiz folk do, but because my camping van got nicked and it had been my wee bit of creative space heaven.
‘Since then, a number of pub chats, misadventures, an art school virus to create beauty as and when you can, plus a deep desire to save these gorgeous machines from a scrap heap, I’m suddenly, finally trying to turn a “What if?” into a “Well why not?”
‘Borrowing cash, sorting out red tape via Bev and taking a risk on the fact that other folk will want to spend time in a place that feels special. But I get it.
‘As no doubt the bank manager might say, I’m not the most organised person, but I tend to invest in passion. (Ooh, get him!).’
The series is being produced by Plum Pictures, with Managing Director Will Daws saying: ‘Llas Vegas will surely become one of the most iconic tourist destinations in the country – if Johnny can raise the money, buy the buses, sort out planning permissions, keep the locals on side and stick to a schedule.
‘What could possibly go wrong.’
Llas Vegas will air on Channel 4 later this year.
