Good to see Edd back, makes a mockery of Mike Brewers claim that Edd felt he had become too big a TV personality to do the donkey work. I think Mike was looking in the mirror and talking to himself when he made that statement, mind you, it would have had to have been a pretty large mirror to fit that much ego in to it

i like watching the Wheeler Dealer shows (much to my kids distaste but its got to be better than reality shows Whistle )

but good old Mike does very little to enhance the image of 'dodgy' car dealers...some of the so called tricks of the trade that he has employed or confessed to over the years have been a bit below the belt.

I wouldn’t trust that Ed China to work on my car. You can’t even trust him to put a T Shirt and a jumper on in the right order. Whistle

I used to really enjoy the old wheeler dealers (still watch the repeats too) but then it pandered to Mikes desire to be an American and the program lost it's way. We know that most of what we saw was scripted and due to filming schedules there was more than Edd who did some of the work to get the cars ready for sale. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater of Mike, I actually think he brought an extra dimension to the show with his brash Essex boy way and the partnership he had with Edd seemed well balanced, I just wish they had stayed within Europe and spent a bit more time showing the work being done rather than have the two of them going out on a jolly at the end of each episode.

When they went stateside I went off the program, it seemed to get cheesier. I always felt a bit sorry for Ed as he seemed to do all the hard work while Mike swanned around. But the formula did work. Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018

They have had a couple of interesting cars on the USA version, Escort Cossie, S3 LR, Austin Healey 3L and such like. But generally most of the cars have just been relatively dull American things, although the new mechanic Ant does seem to be very good at all sorts of fabrication and other work that Ed China never did.

There were so many more European cars they could have covered in the original shows, I always wanted them to do the MK2 Astra GTE as that was one of my favourite 80's/90's cars.
