Loved these episodes of Idol Chat, Beautifully presented and with such warmth! I wholeheartedly agree with Ant when he says that Edd paved the way for others to follow. Having been an avid viewer of WD since the very first episode, I believe everyone who has been on has brought their own unique style to the programme and developed their own setting. Life would be boring if we were all the same. I'm a big fan of Ant and Edd along with Mike and Elvis. 4 amazing people who have brought me through some tough mental health struggles, watching them is my happy place. Along with TLBS and Jonny And the team. I've even got a fleece which is identical to the BFF. Had it for 10 years or more. Always makes me smile when I wear it and I'm watching TLBS Keep up the amazing work Jonny!

Thank you for the kind words Gary. It's warming to know you've enjoyed the shows that TLBS and Edd, Mike and Ant have made to entertain folks throughout tricky times.
Love this. It is a real journalistic skill to just sit there and listen to your guest whilst taking them along on their story.

The Vitriol Ant received for taking on Edds job on Wheeler Dealers was absolutely ridiculous. How the hell was it Ants fault ffs? Yes, those series were fairly different, good or bad but Edd leaving had absofuckinlutely nothing to do with him. He's an intelligent articulate mechanic and builder of cars. Great vid Jonny. I'm still hyper waiting for the Allegro to be finished 🤣😂
