Johnny Vegas to Carry on Glamping for new series

‘Johnny Vegas: Carry On Glamping’ has been recommissioned by Channel 4 for another season.

The original series saw the 51-year old comedian and his assistant Bev set out to create the UK's grooviest glamping site located in the North Yorkshire countryside, made out of vintage, repurposed cars with the help of bus enthusiasts.

The new six-part series will follow Vegas and Bev around as they set about developing their glamping business, after two years of hard work it finally opened its doors in 2021.

Johnny said: "It blew both Bev and I away how lovingly received Carry On Glamping was - I still think it should’ve been called What Can Go Wrong Will Go Wrong.

"Still, the success of our wee field and the joy every vehicle brought to so many was heart-warming. Between Patricia and Lol’s Bar [named after his nickname for his Dad] it definitely helped keep their memory alive and gave me the bug for rescuing more vehicles in need of a loving home.

"My bank manager, accountant and, of course, Bev are all thrilled that we we’re not stopping at just one Maltese bus. We will dearly miss our field and friends in Yorkshire, but the search for a new home to park our dreams upon has indeed begun, as planning meant we couldn’t expand and I’d have nowhere to park my new, well presently knackered, helicopter –UK bought as Bev has said strictly no more imports or burning ferries."

The series will show the struggles Vegas had to overcome to make his dreams a reality, from ferry fires to devastating car crashes.

The site became a success, but denied planning permission means they will have to find a different alternative to expand their ever-growing business - which they hope to host events and music gigs at - as Vegas is hoping to restore more vintage vehicles including an old helicopter.

Jonny Rothery, commissioning editor for Channel 4, said: "Following Johnny’s journey to open his glampsite was a rollercoaster of emotions, funny, heartfelt, perilous and poignant. I’m so pleased Johnny and Bev are back to do it all again, and in a longer series commission, as we see them attempt to bring even bigger plans to life."
