Vintage Hunter
SERIES 2 NOW AVAILABLE!
Flea market junkie Dominic Johnson-Hill takes us on a journey across Asia to find captivating curios and antiques, both valuable and intriguing! It can be like finding a needle in a haystack, but whatever happens, it's a road trip that Dominic always gets a kick out of. Flea markets are haunts for colourful characters from all walks of life. As the Vintage Hunter, Dominic gets a different peek at history via its collectors and their prized possessions. But it's all about making the deal! The thrill of the chase begins in Dominic's adopted home city of Beijing, where he gets an eye-opening look at the real and fake market he thought he knew all about. In modern Singapore, Dominic makes a secret connection to WWII POWs and the city's thriving underground vintage culture. Behind Tokyo's polite veneer, Dominic unravels the intense Japanese fixations with old boy's toys - Godzilla figures, anime toys and Samurai swords. In the Malaysian cities of Kuala Lumpur and Malacca, Dominic finds tradesmen who have kept their vintage tools, furniture and trinkets intact since the old colonial days. In Ho Chi Minh City the Vietnam War provides both an exhilarating and serious history lesson. Jetting off to Mumbai, Dominic is dazzled by Bollywood's history - through the kaleidoscopic film collectibles that Mumbaikers hoard.
