Fun
I agree with Hanno and Richard, it looks like it's created as entertainment with larger than life characters and a lot of set up or otherwise contrived situations against a background of historic military vehicles. I can't imagine any serious collector/dealer giving away all his secrets like that!
It's had a lot of work done in developing the storylines for each episode and the chemistry between the rogue-ish lead character, his staff and customers is entertaining.
There's a lot of work done by the director and film crew to shoot things from different angles, making people repeat things to match and make coherent sequences most viewers don't even think about when watching it. They do a reasonable job of making it feel like you the viewer are an observer of real events.
It's obviously not done at the cheapest end of production values (certainly not the more expensive end either) but is a good standard for the market niche it lives in.
I've only had time to watch a few segments but found myself enjoying it on that level.
