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.

That says a lot mate. They often say "don't meet your heroes", as they can often be tools. I haven't met a lot of celebs, but I met Rosco McGlashan at a car show. Aussie land speed record guy. Years ago. I thought he was pretty brave, as in his early days, he basically bought an ex Mirage fighter engine, put it in a car and strapped himself into it. I was talking to this "old bloke" who I thought was one of his mechanics, who seemed to know a lot about it, then a crew member came out and said "Hey, Rosco..." so it was actually him. I got him to sign a poster, and said "my boys will love this!!!" , to which he said "boys?? How many?" I said two. He said "hang on......." he went and got another one, and said "You'll need TWO!!!". He spoke to me for ages. Some bloke turned up in a suit, got out of a Ferrari. He barged in and said "So, how much power??" Rosco glared at him, and said "Hang on mate, I'm talking to XXX (my first name) I'll be with you when we've finished." This bloke huffed and walked off. But he was a hell of a nice bloke. So sometimes you can be surprised.

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.

@Sennaxm71 10 ай бұрын

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

@tjroelsma 10 ай бұрын

@@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.

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 watched the show to see how expert Edd was at repairing vehicles. I wasn't really interested at the business side of it, which Mike Brewer was concerned with. The series needs to be all about the vehicles, not the profit made from selling them. The balance went the wrong way once Edd left.

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 KZbin 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

I record the show, skip all the bits with Mike in and only watch the workshop done in 20 minutes.

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.

Ant for me was the best mech / engineer and presenter

@120FilmUser 9 ай бұрын

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

My thoughts entirely. He also presented a very boring exotic car auction programme- still wearing those scruffy T shirts.

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.

As a total numpty about the mechanics of car ownership, I enjoy watching any good mechanic talk us through the necessary work. I quite enjoy the presentational style of all three incarnations of the show. But we all have our foibles! It must not be overlooked, however, that it is television, not your local garage explaining what's wrong. If, as I suspect, Mike Brewer owns the title, he will remain the lynchpin. I take from it what I need and overlook the window dressing.

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

He once called a water pump impeller a fan. A real expert!

Water pumps have impellers, so was the word fan such a big mistake in spoken language?

@johncrosley1 24 күн бұрын

⁠@@xluumu No but he shows his ignorance on the finer points of technical detail. An impeller works by centrifugal action, fan blades work by slicing through the air (or water as with a propeller on a boat).

I really enjoy watching both Edd China and Ant Anstead. They're both excellent presenters, with loads of charisma, who grab my attention, and it's fascinating to see them doing the work, and so clearly explaining each step. I echo other comments here that Mike Brewer is the weak link in the chain - just so irritating.
