So now look forward to an advertising programme interspersed with shots of angle grinders and welding flashes and the cast bad mouthing each other..
Saw this last night - Ed was the show IMO. I always found Mike annoying and he didn't really do anything. Reducing the restoration part of the show defeats the initial idea of the show. I hope Ed's new projects get televised.
Apparently Ed was fed up with spending 400+ hours working on the cars to make an average profit of just £300.
Aaron Kaufmann walks out of Fast n loud......... Edd China walks out of Wheeler Dealers.......... They'll be the car show equivalents of the Manic Street Preachers after 1995
I remember a usa one on channel 4 or 5 , it had an English guy who would have to throw a staged tantrum at some point, utter monkey jism.
Surely having several million viewers means the original idea works? Why mess around with a proven winner to save a few bucks and then lose your audience - doh! Don't mind Ant Anstead but if his role is to just polish the finished restoration for the camera, hardly worthwhile viewing.
That one is terrible. So scripted and acted out, the English fella is the worst person on TV. I do however have a man crush on Paul O'Neill, from his BTCC driving days, who gives the valuation at the end.
Brewers bit could be 10 mins max but he always waffles on. Mid way through probably season 6 ish he was even blabbing on after the first advert. Ed is the real talent of the program.
We could always watch that show with the Scottish bloke that set up a garage in Spain and throws a hissy every two minutes. Now what was that called?
Just watched another old one last night. Edd is superb, and undoubtedly the star of the show for me. Can't bear Mike. At best he's just cringeworthy, at worst unbearable, and the whole premise of the show is totally unrealistic as the unaccounted for umpteen hours of labour in an expensive, well equipped garage outstrips 'profit' by miles and doesn't represent the average DIYer at all excepting some of the simpler fixes, but as a programme based on non-profit personal restoration projects it's brilliant.
