I was really disappointed to hear that Edd had left the show. But I've been hooked on the show for years, and decided to watch the past 2 seasons with Ant as the new mechanic. To be honest, I think Ant has a strong personality of his own, and brings his own talents and spin to the show. It's still a great show and worth watching. I do miss Edd, and I enjoyed him for years on this show. I was going to pout and boycott the show when he left. But I'm glad I stuck with the show and gave Ant a chance.

I watched about five minutes of wheeler dealers with Mike Brewers new co-host. He just doesn't have the same charisma as Ed China.He doesn't explain things the way Ed did whether this is by design or by choice this in my opinion takes away from the show. I discovered wheeler dealers recovering from knee replacement.I will watch old reruns with Ed but not with the new guy.

Don't know if this a spoiler or not. Without Ed it just isn't the same show. The new guy Ant was OK but it just wasn't the same show. To me Ed was the biggest part with his look in the camera I'm telling you this now pay attention people. Well maybe I'll watch again in a few months, maybe Ed will be back.

First the good news, the format is great. I like the idea behind the show and watching Ed spanner his way through the renovation of some varied vehicles from the esoteric to the mundane, however...........I just wish Ed would learn to use another word other than "actually". I just watched an episode where he said something like "...it's actually designed to actually improve the aerodynamics and actually....". Seriously, c'mon. It's really amateurish and annoying, something that should have been dealt with long before the 162nd episode.The writers must be the laziest in the business because you can skip through almost the entire buying phase at the beginning of the show, the mid-point where Mike Brewer visits the workshop to check on progress and the last part where they sell because it's ALWAYS, ALWAYS the same.The test drive is lots of "Whooahh" Fantastic! Wow!! This fing goes like the clappers, it's great!!" as if he's never driven anything more powerful than a Reliant Robin before. This is followed on the way home by "It does have a few issues" (reels off long list).Then there's actually the actually interesting part where Ed actually diagnoses problems and actually begins to actually deal with them.Then Mike turns up and says "Why 'aven't you done nuffink? You spent how much?".Then there's actually an actually interesting bit where Ed actually does some actually interesting repairs and actually finishes the job.Then Mike comes back and says "I fink we cud ask plenty of fahsends of pahnds for this". Then a buyer turns up an Mike makes nowhere near the "Fahsends" he says he would. Oh, and then the totting up of how much the job has cost except it's not really accurate as they conveniently forget to include labour costs. I don't think I've seen a single project that would even have broken even without the free labour element.In its way this series is about as realistic as 'Top Gear' but with far more interesting content.
