The series was filmed in Sealand, Flintshire in Wales, and chronicled the day-to-day activities of pawn shop Regal Pawn, collaboratively run by Mark Andrew Manning, Mark Lever Holland, Marco Peter Holland, Simon Penworth, and Vicki Manning.
A spin-off of the prominent American reality television series Pawn Stars (2009–present), the show's format was similar to the latter show, as it featured an array of collectible, antique and unusual items that people sell or pawn.
[1] Following the success of Pawn Stars, Leftfield Pictures decided to produce a few spin-offs of it.
Executive producer Brent Montgomery opined that it would be "a natural extension of the [Pawn Stars] brand".
Customers were mostly shown selling or pawning "amazing historically significant items".
