Wheeler Dealers moving back to UK minus Ant Anstead

[bob6600]

Just read this morning that Wheeler Dealers will be moving back to the UK next year. Unfortunately, Ant will not be coming back and will remain in the US so new co-presenter Elvis (Marc Preistley) will take over the mechanical side. He already did the 'Dream Car' series which wasn't great but Marc himself was quite good.
After Edd I didn't know if I would watch it but Ant really grew on me and I will miss him from the show. Apparently he will be doing other shows in the US so hopefully something car related.

I always thought Ant was over the top ,supposed I missed Edd,
Think the program would be so much better without Brewer imho.

There is so much better content out there on YouTube going into proper detail on builds.

Check out Taverish for example.

I can't believe the "man hours" declared on the current program.
Only watch now if there is a car I'm interested in.

If anyone watches the Car Throttle youtube channel you will see Mike Brewer does not take himself too seriously which is always a refreshing thing to see with TV personalities. "Hold Out Yer Aaand"

Ah that’s a shame, quite liked Ant. For me the jury is still out on Elvis.

I enjoyed both Edd and Ant to be honest, Ant was a bit livelier but I enjoyed Edds cool delivery.

Does he work down the chip shop as well?

Cheers,

Interesting to see that they're hoping to move into the Bicester Heritage centre.

Looking forward to the show coming back to the UK.

Just couldn’t relate to many of the American cars so lost interest.

sitting watching YouTube videos just doesn’t have the same feel for me.

That’s good news. I was disappointed when Ed left and I have never enjoyed watching Ant - I found him annoying. I’ve seen Elvis in the other show and I liked him.

Like a lot of these shows, success tends to go to their heads and ends up ruining the show - Gas Monkey Garage for instance

Shame, I like Ant . . . PMA

Shame i liked Ant . I still watch these two on Quest at 6pm on a night . The last series i hated . Hope its about doing the cars up not a talk show.

Watched a few of these with Ant and I like him. Any programme that entertains AND educates gets my vote. OK, a lot of it is low level stuff for some on here, but great for me. I think he has a knack of explaining things clearly - for instance today I learnt what a flywheel does. Can take or leave Mr. Brewer......

 

[optimusprime]

Brewer and his words, like,, free of that,, and one thousand and free ,and free times .And firty free ha ha but i love um . And i will be watching them both again at 6pm or the tt raceing .

I've seen a few of the WDs with AA and he is OK.

However, I've always found Edd China's style of explaining things more engaging.

I don't mind some of the American cars they featured (like the Dodge Ram with the Viper engine etc.).

Even found some of the older cars quite interesting as I learnt what came before the cars I started with in the early 90s.

They should film it with me. Chris drops the car on the jack and complete screws it up!

There has been the odd mess up on WD... I remember Edd had a new screen for an Isetta (something like £1k or £1.5k I think it was) and he broke it so they had to buy another.

Sh*t happens as they say... and it usual does to all of us at some point or another.

It's what makes us human.

How dare you suggest I'm only human!?!

I saw that one quite recently. Funnily enough, when they did one on Car SOS it worked fine.
