Mike Brewer on why Edd China left Wheeler Dealers

[@yannickledantec4118]

I met Edd in Norway at Audi shop while I was waiting for my car to be fixed. I did Ask him why he left the show. He said the new American set-up was all about making more money to the producers thus cutting down on what made the UK version a success - a friendly program for car enthusiasts ....

Edd stated he left because they were cutting back on the workshop segments, so less work to do (reduced time setting up for the multiple camera takes) and Mike says "he wanted to work less". Look at the new show, there's lots less time spent in the workshop, so something doesn't tally up?

I don't know anyone who didn't fast forward through the cringe-fest test drives and haggling Brewer did to get to the actual workshop segments where Ed was actually fixing it and showing us how stuff worked. I don't think he thought he was bigger than the show, I think he knew what the core audience liked.

[@DaHitch]

What the (hard-)core audience likes is often of little concern since die hard fans are often hard to please and easy to anger. Since Discovery is trying to get a program on TV making sure that it appeals to a large audience is more important. I for sure also preferred the workshop segments. Having said that, after Ed left the show still seems to be going strong whereas things have been quite quiet on the Ed front, apart from a KZbin show that apparently ended after one episode and he's now seemingly trying to give it another go but tbh I'm not sure that'll go anywhere either.

[@3DPeter]

It's just a tv show where actors/presenters get hired to do whatever it takes to make the show, so it's just busines and not a marriage. Ed and Mike don't own the WD series, they are just hired and have contracts with producers, studio owners, tv stations, writers, etc etc, so it's just a company where people have a job, and as in every job people work with other people, and new people will come and old people will go and that's life, and that's no difference with tv celebs. And what happend is that they needed to cut the cost, because the show was already running for 15 years so the view rates went down and what they wanted is to cut corners on the detailed procedures of the restoration, because it takes a large crew to record the show, and time is money because a crew get payed by the hour, so to save Ed's salary, they needed to cut back on the details so he should have been happy because less work and get payed the same, but no, his ego got hurt, so it was his way or the highway, and the producers just choose for the highway and hired a new Ed and since then the show went on and new episodes are made, so it still works without Ed, and that proves that everyone can be replaced. We had about 6 actors who played james bond, so when anyone can become the new bond, then sure any mechanic can fix cars on WD. When i would be Ed, i would swallow my pride and begg to get back on WD, because shows like that can pay up to 50.000 dollars and even more per episode, so he could retire in notime.

A mechanic can fix stuff, but they can't all explain the whys and wherefores, Edd could. I watched it for educational purposes, and Brewer and his cameos were a tiny part of any knowledge on offer, and the part I could happily have lived without. I'd have rather seen Edd do the buying and selling too, but that's why his channel is a success. Whereas they've already had two new grafters since Edd left, and WD isn't doing so well for itself. The majority by far of the people that watched WD, watched it for the cars and the fixes. Now Edd gets to do it properly and make money for himself with a wider remit and less prohibitions. His channel is what WD should have been, fixing cars and engineering challenges. Can't say I'm sorry it worked out like this. Unless you're interested in the process of flipping cars, Mike was never worth the screen time.

I also kinda got the feeling from watching the show that Mike felt he was the main presenter, as I'd heard him on more than one occasion say "MY Mechanic, EDD", which at the time smacked a bit of patronising. Was Mike Edd's salesman and go getter? I might be overreacting a bit, but Id thought this before Edd left the series.

[@OldManBadly]

I think that Mike Brewer is being honest to a point here. I don't think Edd is lazy or wanted specifically to do less work. I think the extended work schedule combined with a desire from the network / producers to have less and less technical in the show, more and more "product placement" visits to companies that make and sell parts, and so on. Remember, season 13 was the first season with Disocvery networks at the helm and not Attaboy Productions. So it left Edd with as much work time to do, less actually to do on the shows, and much more a show about bolting on the parts that Mike sourced. So much in the last couple of years that Edd was there changed, from production company to the flow of the show. Gone was the searching the weekly inkies for a car, the purchases were pre-made, the sales at the end were pre-made, and a lot more time spent on companies willing to either pay for space or make their products available for free / reduced rate to the production. The choices of cars got higher end, they needed a lot less TLC and much more detailing and bolting on of shiny bits. I am sure for Edd it was turning into a waste of time, he is at heart a mechanic and a worker, he wants to be doing stuff. Having to work the same amount if not more on the production but actually to be accomplishing less was probably not where he wanted to go. The change of management, direction, and likely a certain loss of power make it not something Edd needed to be part of anymore. Mike's made himself a good life off it and good on him, but I have more respect for Edd getting out before it got silly.

[@mikeyb4610]

I agree 100% with your assessment of the show & it’s change of direction which ultimately led to Ed leaving .... I’d also add that Mike’s ‘interference’ segments where he would fix the interiors of the vehicles made the show look cheap ....this guy had presented himself as the ‘Wheeler Dealer’ who chased down bargain purchases all over the world for over 12 years suddenly became an expert in Upholstery, Cockpit Fitting & Dashboard Instillation overnight rendering Ed both redundant AND effectively surplus to requirement .... I believe Mike had a lot more to do with Ed’s departure than he would care to admit ...unintentionally perhaps but nonetheless he knew the Ed WAS the show .... n yes perhaps even bigger than the show ....

Ant is fantastic with fabrication and some of the work he's done is remarkable. He's clearly talented. Just wish he would wear gloves sometimes though but hey, his hands.

This is called a "Character assassination" Mike Brewer is an unaware midrange Narcissist... Other people are just "Objects" to them. The reality is Mike Brewer is a fat used car salesman and needed Edd China FAR more than Edd China needed Mike Brewer.

I used to watch every show, mostly because of Edd. I thought Mike was a joke, just there for laughs. When Edd was forced out I stopped watching. Never mess with what makes you a success.

Mike was just there for laughs. Another case of the side kick thinking he is the star.

The American producers wanted to shorten the scenes, from when Ed was putting things right from sourcing, removal, replacing/servicing & fitting the parts. Ed’s personality & magic is the main attraction, you can get any old used car salesman to do the other bits. Ed is King 👑

WD's new format send the engine, the interior and everything else out to be restored. While we show you how to refurbish the ashtray. It's all about money, nothing more nothing less.
