I stopped watching when Edd China left.
Same here.
The show went to shit when Ed left
I watched the show because of Ed China and the garage work being explained in a no bull way by a guy who was excited to be there doing what he loved, fixing junk that should probably have just been scrapped, the breakdown of costs at the end never adds in the 500 man hours that went into the car.
Mike Brewer is a bit of a knob and whilst a presenter is an important part of a show, you do need to be likeable. Mike unfortunately is not particularly likeable or charismatic. Ed was the show, that is why we all watched it. Sorry if this is not a popular statement.
I like the idea of Edd and Ant doing a show...great idea jonheron...
When Ed left wheeler dealer I left… brewer is totally painful…
. . . and yet it was, and still is Mike Brewer, that made things happen. Ed China and Ant wouldn't have been heard of without Mike Brewer being the bright spark that made it all, and I mean ALL go in the right direction. Pity too many of the oily rags brigade are jealous of his unique abilities . .
To put it bluntly Brewer is a straight out pain in the arse & when China left I stopped watching it as well!! Ed held it together not that horrible little round man who always has far too much to say coupled with his sheer arrogance!!
U FOOL Mike is The BRAIN'S Behind W/D U Don't bite the hand that Feed's YOU That's TV./ . ED did
i met ant a couple of years ago when he was visiting the uk. he was at a car restoration place just a couple of miles from where i live which is also near where he is from. he was very busy with quite a few people there but he still took a minute to say hello and let me take a selfie. that says a lot about a person. we all know how some celebs can be. nice guy.
Calling Ant Anstead an immediate fan favourite is stretching things a bit, as many fans felt Edd China was the heart of the show and that heart had been ripped out when he left. Anstead seems like a likeable guy and a competent mechanic, but let's face it: he didn't get to do even half of the work China did, which was the main reason why China left the show. Ratings took a hit and I can't shake the feeling that in retrospect Anstead can't have really liked being a skilled mechanic that only did fast-service type jobs so Brewer could get more screen time.
Wheeler Dealers started out as a show around "Wheeler Dealer" Mike Brewer, who would find a neglected car that showed promise for a quick profit, fix it and spice it up a little and then sell it. Kind of what his spin-off series "Trading Up" showed. But because Brewer wanted to be more than just another dime-in-a-dozen "Wheeler Dealer", he set out to buy more exotic cars, which meant that Edd China was added to the show for the more complex fixes. This added a value that other shows at the time didn't have. China quickly became the fans favorite, so his role was expanded, inevitably reducing Brewer's screen time, something that Brewer probably didn't mind too much in the beginning, as the show hugely gained in popularity because of China. But as China's role kept growing, Brewer must have felt his role was being diminished a bit too much and he stepped in to do more of the work than just buying and selling, like looking for the hard-to-get spare parts or the master craftsman that could fix/replace some part(s) that were no longer available. I'd say that this is the period that the show was at its peak popularity.
Then the show was sold out to the Americans and they moved to the US. After a couple of shows, the Americans decided that they wanted to squeeze more profit out of the show, so the more complex fixes had to go. China, just like many of the fans, felt that this really dumbed down the show and reduced "Wheeler Dealers" to just another dime-in-a-dozen quick car fix show, so he left. Fellow skilled mechanic Anstead jumped in, but as he left rather quickly after only two seasons, it's hard not to think that in hindsight he also wasn't happy with how much the part of the mechanic was dumbed down and even worse continued to be dumbed down, causing him to leave after only two seasons.
Wheeler Dealers saw a huge drop in popularity when fan-favorite China left and then, as the show kept being dumbed down for the sake of more profit, the fans that did hang on to see how Anstead would fare, started leaving as well. Brewer doesn't even seem to care how much the popularity of the show has declined or about first China and then Anstead leaving, as long as he keeps being paid a nice salary. For many of the "old" fans of Wheeler Dealers, Brewer has sold out what was once a very informative show that went way further with showing how successfully buying, fixing and selling cars for a profit actually works and reduced it back to being "just another Wheeler Dealer show where cars are bought and flipped for a profit."
Exactly this. I loved the older shows because I learned something. I don't even watch wheeler dealers anymore. I still watch Edd's new show tho.
Definitely, the part of the mechanic was almost made out to be easy, after being one for nearly 40 years, some of the jobs they did were properly big jobs, and Mike would make out that it was an easy job, so we would then get customers saying "oh they only took 10 minutes to do that on wheeler dealers" completely missing the fact that 2 hours of stripping the engine before you get to the part to be changed wasn't on screen.
Also when Edd was doing it, it encouraged some people to try and tackle the easier jobs themselves, some with positive results, some not so, but at least they were having a go, and got to realise that it's not as easy as they first think, at least we then get a little appreciation lol
@@Sennaxm71 Agreed, Edd was as much a teacher as he was a mechanic.
But there was a second thing the show made clear without ever saying it: if you want to do a job properly, you'll need lots of professional tools, skill and a garage.
Brewer tried to sell the "everyone can be a Wheeler Dealer because fixing neglected cars is simple", whereas Edd showed that although some cars seem relatively easy to fix, it takes a lot of work, skills and tools to fix them right. And that to me was the real strength of the show: you can do it, but only if you really know what you're doing.
This is so typical of American Executives, they take something that works well and then (because they think they are so AWESOME) squeeze it for profits and kill the essence of what it was.
In my country, whenever Americans buy out a company, all the locals leave because they know that American management practices will be incoming.
Agree 100%
I have been watching wheeler dealers for years and have a high regard for Edd China and Ant anstead who I saw were Excellent mechanics and who would explain t all the actions required to restore a car the production company might not have wanted so much attention to detail though the mechanics among us viewers would have apreciated
the details. I admire Edd China for being able to work with Mike Brewer for so long
Yes, I don't think i could have worked with him for that long, I bet Edd can handle being married easily after that lol 🤣
I liked the detail, being a mechanical 'Noddy'. I learnt a lot watching him explain stuff. Nuff said 🙂
You do know it was all an act and that it was the production company that caused Eddie to leave.
WD's was unwatchable to me with AA taking over from EC..his constant face gurning, made me itch..Elvis is great 👍
Edd is the man!
No Ed is our favourite presenter..
Never liked him, the way he treated those around him when he was building the replica Alfa....he attitude was so derogatory. Whe you said he was policeman, ah, makes sense.
Excellent comment and spot on. Most who join the police are of the authoritarian personality and only join to have power over their fellow humans. Ant is no different, who in their right minds wants to be a firearms officer anyway
Never took to the guy, cant put my finger on why just something about him, never got that feeling with Ed China or Elvis ..
He's a ex copper, that may explain it
Armed response . . And was a pro goalkeeper
@@davecrewe9074 - Calm down dear do you want tp go and have a cold shower?
@@DirtyDingusMcGee 💯% 👍
It’s because he’s so far up his own arse he’s in danger of disappearing.
Seen all three, Edd, Ant and Elvis but csn't get over Edd being head and shoulders above the other two, and i'm not talking about his physical height.
I watched Wheelers Dealers from the start, loved Edd China, love Marc Priestley, and thought of Ant as "The Peacock"... With him it was always about him, not the cars. Still don't like him.
Edd has his own TH-cam channel 👍
Never understood why he got involved with Mike Brewer . The program was daft because they didn’t take into account the endless hours of his labour fixing the cars . So they all sold at a great loss .
I personally find Mike very much look at me am so fantastic it's all about Mike how great of a dealer he is .
The encyclopediac knowledge and skills that both Ed and Ant possess is impressive. I sometimes wonder who is behind the scenes...Don't you ?
I'd love to know who does what on the show. Does Mike really find the vehicles, or help finding them? The buyers also don't seem for real allt he time. And do the mechanics stop working when the camera is turned off?
I imagine they will study the topics in depth before recording. You can't remember everything.
I always thought the same, but learned that the show had a few talented researchers on hand to help with the repairs.
Mike's dodgy wig is a classic 😂
Mike doesn't wear a wig? Why do you think that?
@@stephennoble2647lol ok
Never liked the ahow after Ed
Easier to fix a broken car than a relationship.
Cracked cylinder head? Leaking hoses? Broken halfshafts? Rotten rusted sills?
Easier than love and duty. Hence many of us petrolheads retreating to our man-sheds.
Mike and Edd were a dynamic duo, with Ant the chemistry was altered and coupled with the change in format the show was never going to meet expectations, finally some balance has returned with the suave Elvis being the witch hazel the show needed. I just wish Edd could knock out more content. how long has he been working on that range rover. Look at salvage rebuilds they're turning cars in the same day sometimes. Best of luck to everyone. Shout out to Cassey's Customs!!
Mike Brewer put me off the show.
Well.said.he.was.an
Annyoin.southern.prick
It’s ironic how both Ant and Edd made the show. Mike is a car salesman 🤷🏻♂️
He iis actually a buga mina like our zulus say here in South Africa which means look at me. Arrogant know it all but knows nothing
Believe it or not , the whole idea was to buy a car, repair the car and SELL the car.
You mean a wide boy, don’t you?
What I liked about ed was he explained thoroughly not like some cooking programmes where they say heres one I did earlier
His over exaggerating and arm and neck movement pissed me right off
So does your needless grammar put me off
Charisma and Antstead should not be used in the same sentence...
I was skeptical when Edd left, but Ant eventually won me over. I watched the show for the work and effort that Edd & Ant put into each vehicle. Same thing with Elvis, he's very knowledgeable. I think we can all agree that Mike Brewer is nauseating.
master mechanic my arse!
maybe i'm being a bit picky but it really annoys me that everytime mike is talking about a car renovation he always says 'me and Ed', 'me and Elvis', 'me and Ant'. i know he's probably not that well educated, and doesn't need to be to be a secondhand car trader i suppose, but please, learn some proper grammar lol.
Show is still ok but stopped watching it when ed left
Cant stomache the program with Mike Brewer in it!
Mike came across as way too cunning to ever get his hands dirty.
i more suspect he isn't capable as a mechanic ....
Edd & Ant worked hard doing these restorations , Mike just ate all the profits....
Who really cares about it. Let them just live their life as we are allowed to do, without all of the crap from media that controls them 24/7.
Never the same without edd bit like two and a half men without charlie
It would be great to see all Ant's wonderful restorations and one off builds.
Formula 1 is going the same way with the Yanks in charge🙄
If they replaced Mike Brewer the show would improve. Any used car salesman could replace Mike Brewer.
Blokes a real belter cant stand him!!
I like him and I don’t believe the show would improve without him, there are plenty of other car shows out there that don’t hold the same level of interest or longevity. Things don’t last this long purely on luck, there is a lot of hard-work being done by Mike and the team.
Don't talk wet, you sapp! Mike brewer is wheeler dealers......
Don't think it would be as popular without Mike, he may be a bit Marmite for some like Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear ( I know plenty of people that hate him ) without Jeremy the show would not be in the place it was back in the day and proof of that was Jeremy's farm show it was a huge success and showed alot more of the real Jeremy and people who hated him on top gear somehow grew to at least like him a bit either way he is entertaining to watch, I have watched plenty of interviews after Edd left the show and yes things changed out of both of there control but I really think Mike got the raw end of the stick whether you like him or not he is only human and at least he stayed with the show and it had its dark days in America but it is still going and I still love it with Elvis he is a genius, I watch Edd on TH-cam as well and he even says that Mike doesn't deserve the stick he got, I think if they replaced Mike in America with even someone already famous like Richard rowlings from gas monkey who I also like the show would have flopped the only thing that kept me watching was the familiar face good old Mike and they picked wellcwith Ant but he was already working on the show well before Edd left so was behind the scenes but pretty much ready to take over, can't remember who replaced Ant but we ended up with Elvis who with Mike make the show great again back in the UK
😂 It's Mike's show so how can thay replace him it's like saying replace Simon Cowell he also owns the show WHAT A PLUM
Ant is a " look at me man" he does know some stuff but he becomes irritating with his fake ness
Ant has my support and admiration, he will never regret spending time and living on the same continent as his son, kudos my man Ant
Almost like he is scared to come back to the uk for some strange reason? Hmmmm…. Maybe, just maybe he’s not such a nice person?
Ant is a great mechanic and tv personality. I love him on wheeler dealers.🎉🎉
About time mike brewer retired . For good
Ant is a great mechanic, hope he can someday teach his skills to his Son !!
There’s a few people that have had financial pain caused by mr a
Yeah sack Brewer and bring in Ed to team up with Ant ! Thats the theory.
ED WAS THE MAN 👍
I record the show, skip all the bits with Mike in and only watch the workshop done in 20 minutes.
Ed was the best in my not so humble opinion - top bloke and really knew his stuff
When Edd left so did I.
Mike brewer was a typical car salesman all teeth and smarmy if I go anywhere and they come at me like that I turn around and walk back out
Ant is the most american-like english guy I've seen. He'd be mad to leave, pretty sure the americans will love him.
Ant is a prize tumshie, when he said the head bolts were finger tight on a Saab 93 in one of the videos
Never watched it since Edd left.
Got kicked out of the force something to do with providing mots for a back hander, apparently.
Can you back that allegation up?
How do you know that?
Smarmy count.
Why can't they do an american version with ant and someone else . Like jay Leno doing Mike's job ?
Edd was the best
Good bloke Ant is. 👊🏻
I know from first hand experience, Edd is not only a top mechanic, but he's a great bloke too......even my sister liked Edd China. Mike was okay, but Edd was 70 % of the show.
It's a bit close between Ant and Elvis, in my view! But Elvis, Edd and Ant all made fantastic shows both teaching you and entertaining you. Thanks Mike for making it all happen.
Mile Brewer= Bubble Car
Ed and Ant could be a perfect show. The both are technicals and could buy great cars. The program would be so much better.
I thought Ant explained this thoroughly and in depth his vocabulary was plain methodical easy to listen to, Edd good guy spoke to fast and not plain , Elvis capable but must chose the correct time to speak to make heard. I thought Ant was better than Brewer who has an accent and gable's on.
Ed China and ant anstead should do a car repair show together 👍
I liked Ant on for the love of cars
Bring back ED !
I dont want to watch a back street mechanic as in china
@@ianlee487 Go polish your Beema
Met Edd at the old place where the show was filmed. Top bloke. He spoke to me as a human being and showed me around the place. Saw the "fastest sofa" and a few other toys! Stopped watching after Edd left. Fortunately, Mike wasn't around. Didn't want to meet him anyway as I find him too up himself. Also qas told that Paul did quite a lot of off camera work on the cars but he never seemed to get any credit. Didn't gel with Ant as much as Edd but at least Ant is more watchable than Brewer.
Ant seems to be a nice guy but I couldn't get through the entire video. To say that Mike Brewer is the star of the show indicates that someone is absolutely clueless as to the show's audience. Or to good taste. The cars and the mechanics are the stars of the show and always have been. Mike Brewer is merely - and barely - tolerated in his too frequent sweaty soundbites. How is it not possible that the producers of this show don't know that? Do they not watch the show? Are they perfectly content riding on the reputation that the mechanics, particularly Ed China, are responsible for? Are they stupid? No. Nobody is that stupid. It's clear that Brewer has a manila envelope full of incriminating information and/or photos on those very same higher-ups. He's a stain on what could still be a good show. But I suppose there's not that much Oxi Clean in the world. Not that I have an opinion on the matter.
So, what has Ant done with himself now (2024?) Ex english policeman, why? Watched a show where he built a car, he came over as very arrogant. Neither Edd China nor Marc Priestley have ever been like that when I have met on and off camera. Same goes for Mike Brewer to be honest. All three have been very decent people to meet and work with. Now, just don't get me started on various Motor Bike magazines and the complete up there own arseholes the riders are. Not all but most. "Do you know who I am?).......nope, do you know who I am? Nope. Aleast we have something in common, my reply.
Ant for me was the best mech / engineer and presenter
I migliori per me come competenza e simpatia sono EDD e ANT,comunque e' in gamba anche elvis
Having left WD about the same time Edd China did, not even Mr. Antstead's formidable talents were going to save what was fast becoming another "Discovery Reality" whizz bang. It was not the first good show they ruined with created drama. I soon realized that traditional TV in the US was all already that way or getting there. Sorry, Any, about the American broad; some of Christine's lesser sides sometimes did show through the thin veil of the editors seeking any and all "higher drama" to spike the ratings with, so you should have been warned.
First of all - I don't know how anyone could work for an extended period of time with Mike Brewer. He just makes my skin crawl.
Secondly - I suspect that Ant Anstead's relationship with Renee Zellweger might have had something to do with his decision to stay in the US
Finally - what is a "die-lemma"?
Well that was a hugely informative video.
Well that was a hugely sarcastic reply....😂😂😂
It's never been the same since velocity took over and asked edd
Its mike that needs to go
Anstead claims he’s a master mechanic. How did he manage that ? Considering he was never trained. People forget there is an army of advisors assisting these so called mechanics. All they do is the posing in front of the camera
Sick to death of hearing of these sack Mike and get some new people 😮
I wouldn’t mind if ourTV network would stop repeating the same bloody shows over and over and over again some I have seen more than 10-12 times
I got tired of Mike's antics, he was just too English for me a Aussie, Ed was the only reason I watched the show as long as I did, Ant did a reasonable job as well. Often the cars picked would not appeal to the US or Australian viewers
Worst mechanic they ever had. So glad they ditched him.
I don't know why they didn't make a longer programme , say two or three hours instead of one ,would of been just as good if not better ,they could have gone into more details about building the vehicles.
Why is it that the marriages don't last as long as they used to in the old days. Maybe do a show about marriage restorations.
Edd made the show. Mike comes across as a typical dodgy car dealer, don't know if that is what they wanted him to look like for the show, but he comes across as a typical dodgy car dealer.
Ant came in and because of his marriage at the time to Christina Hall, who is big in Reality TV on HGTV, after the first season on Wheeler Dealers he was given a follow on series called "Ant Anstead Mater Mechanic" 😂 Never heard of him before Wheeler Dealers and within a series he's called a Master Mechanic 😂 Straight away I thought is this a stich up or what.
Edd made the show, the new dude Elvis isn't too bad, obviously a good mechanic being involved in F1 somewhere, but lost interest after Edd left.
Never really liked Mike, or Ant when he came along, which is when I stopped watching it only catching one every now and then.
I can’t believe how many people making comments seem to think they speak for others using we or our , YOU don’t speak for me or anyone else . I got to like all the mechanics , Elvis being my favourite with his F1 background but Brewer is a pain especially when he has to try his hand at repairs or hovering over someone’s shoulder when they’re working , I hated folk doing that to me and they would be told where to go . Any replacement for brewer would be most welcome .
Mike Brewer ate him
😂😂😂
There are so many shows very much same where the buy cheap cars/ motorcycles and then see how much profit they make at the end however, man hours are never taken into the equation, there again its just a tv show at the end of the day.
ANT & ELVIS , their work was A1 . Pity not on TV together working on Cars
like most people i stopped watching it after edd china as the workshop content got less and less and the mike bits mr essex doesn't gel with me
Ive loved them all, mike is the house hold name and back bone of the show who actually writes it all. Get over your selves...
I don't dislike Mike either. He's that quirky sales guy but he's not a bad guy really? I could see that Edd was a fair bit more feistier and a little bit less showy? Ed worked to a standard so where their personalities clashed was mostly around budgets and Edd not willing to do a half arsed job for the sake of his reputation on TV series? So he went around Mike a few times to ensure the projects were done correctly? I could also see Edd showing his value when he would justify the additional expense on his passion project (the crazy amphibious car project I think that nearly broke poor Mike?) But even though Edd did do the wrong thing a couple of times going over budget, you could see the he really tried to make up for this by cutting huge costs in many of the other projects that were less sentimental to him? Mike being Mike he's always going to want to make more profits cause he's the car sales guy?
But then when they did that yellow Escort (which was friggin awesome btw) you could tell Edd wasn't happy this time around as it was Mike that sent that project over budget? They had already spent heaps on the colour change being yellow... So there was controversy with that project from and outset and a very much an indifference between them? You could tell that this was where things went sour? I'm not sure if the amphibious car was before or after the escort but the vibe felt very tit for tat with both of those projects?
I personally sided with Mike as I thought the amphibious car was whack and Edd had lost his marbles?
I also don't think Edd calculated the man hours honestly for that project? I think he would have had to have thrown in many many undocumented man hours for free.....just to keep Mike happy? In other words the budget went ball buster fairly quickly. That's when you could tell Mike's tone wasn't happy because he knew that he was delivering an episode that was unrealistically fake and that's not what wheeler dealer was about?
But in saying that most of the audience wasn't really watching the show because they were wanting to became car dealers themselves but more along the lines of self restoration themselves and the idea of keeping to a budget is to prevent heart ache or even potential lost marriages out of a car project lol.
So it was really great to look at the break down of costs at the end of build, as this is the thing that keeps people motivated to keep pressing forward on a difficult old vehicle restoration?
Probably my most favourite car they built was the Polish 3 cylinder 2 stroke Sennor (spelling?) Not a car I am personally interested in, but wow what an impressive restoration that was! It was kind of when the show was at its peak in my opinion
The blue mini moke was when Edd and Mike where synchronised most. Even I thought and crazy white roll bar was going to be a fail?
But your know what, Mike was on the money big time with that car!
I remember watching it and thinking "I know Edd loves these things, but I don't think he realises how much of a steal they got that moke for? Edd knew all the history and all the military background and about where all their faults were.......but Mike knew exactly what they were worth and he knew they were worth way more than Edd was willing to admit?
You could feel this when they had to do all the wheel bearings and you could sense Edd was kind of annoyed at the at the mounting costs just climbing? That's because he didn't really believe that Mike could get what they sold it for?
I told my dad that they could probably get another $2K more for that moke again if they could wait out for it. Wheeler Dealers also had to try sell the cars by certain time due to the budget of the production in doing the series, which is realistic. And that Moke sold quite a few months after it was finished as it was bitterly cold by that time..... almost the worst time of year to sell such a car!
Had they waited till summer and parked it up down at a seaside cafe somewhere that thing would have raked in a mint! You could tell that Mike knew this also.
That's why I didn't dislike Mike. He did his homework
I think Brewer is the problem with Wheeler Dealers...........get him off the show, get Edd back and all will be good again.
Ant was a chancer who shamelessly used the show to further his own 'career'....cant blame him for that.
Ant is very skilled , like the other mechanics. But strange facial expressions and a bit smug , but still watching .
I wasn't a fan of him to start with. After a couple of seasons, he calmed down his on-screen persona, and I started to enjoy the show more. Then he left. I have not watched it since.
I never really liked him as I did with Ed China. He always came over as a smart arse (which in the UK is not such a good thing). However, good for him staying near to his little lad. I just wish MB would get back in a show with Ed.
Ed was the best
I’m sorry but Ant was the worst side kick to Mike and just wasn’t natural i actually stopped watching the show because of him and his stupid faces ! Elvis is a breath of fresh air
Get rid of Mike & I would watch the show. Ed & Ant should do a show.
Didn't like Ant tbh, he was far too animated with his arms and body movements, and the stupid perma grin and wide eyes, like an over excited kid opening a Christmas present. Much preferred Ed's more laid back approach
Any is legend!!! He and Elvis the best what happened to Wheeler Dealers!!! First guy that China was 🤮🤮🤮
I liked Wheeler Dealers, but could not stand Mike Brewer or the "Ant" bloke. Mike is just a vile sweaty little oinker, and "Ant" is a patronising , hey look at at me because I am lovely and so clever, type. Never liked him. His style was like he was talking to a bunch of 5 year olds, just like a kids TV presenter, " This is a screwdriver, be careful, it`s pointy " that sort of crap.
Ed China was great And Marc Priestley was good as well, they knew their stuff, but I reckon " Ant " was shown what to do by folk behind the scenes.
