I would use the above short video extract as a listening activity to introduce the following colloquial expressions, or as a vocabulary review activity:
BLING
OTT
DOSH
NO WAY!
COST A BOMB
Once the students know the meaning of the words I would ask them to make up their own mini dialogue using the above and then act it out in front of the class. An alternative would be to get students to create their own video film in small groups or pairs and then view them open class.
I am certain students would find this sort of activity challenging and great fun.
Have a go yourself and see what you can produce and then report back here, if you like. Good luck!

Wow! This is really clever - I had to watch it twice though, is it possible to also make these videos longer... okay, off to go find out.

Thanks! Yes, it is possible to make the videos longer. In this particular example, I just wanted to use the visuals as a brief introduction to the vocabulary. Also, I wanted to see what I could create in a very short space of time. Good luck with your creation. Let me know how you get on.
Hi Janet,
Back to say WOW, thanks for the tip.
I made two and playing around with a third. I think I can turn these into a series of businees english idioms for my student blog,
gives an audio quality to them - which was missing!
Again, ta very much!
The two I've done so far are here:

Hi Karenne
I am very impressed with your 2 lovely videos. They are just the right length and great fun to view.
Take care
Janet
