London: So, Johnny Vegas is at it again! This time, he’s diving into the world of smart meters. You know, those little gadgets that help you keep track of your energy use? He’s a beloved figure in British comedy, and now he’s swapping the big screen for something a bit smaller.

He even brought a film crew along for the ride. Not everyone would do that, but hey, it’s Johnny! They filmed everything from booking the installation to getting the smart meter set up. It’s all part of a new mini-series he’s working on.
