That oafish gentlemangoes by the name of Heavy D

Probably because his real name is Colin

Ah, that's it! Not AFTV, but from the (very poor) UK version of Storage Wars.

I got strangely obsessed with the US version at one point, but the UK version was terrible. The storage units were invariably filled with a load of old tat and piles of dirty rags.

Exactly so. They offer a long-distance view of the contents for about 30 seconds and then encourage bids. The US one was quite good as people would have old cars and guns and cool stuff like that in the containers. The ones over here were mostly full of fúcked up old bits of lawnmower and shít like that.
