The Return of Edd China
Always enjoy watching Edd China in his TV workshop with the spanners working on some old car.
Looks like he may kick off another show on these lines if this pilot takes off... hope so. Edd China's Garage Revival Good luck to him. Hope Edd fills the massive void in shows like Top Gear and The Grand Tour because of the known spannerphobic journalist Clarkson et al. |

Brilliant news! I loved Edd on Wheeler Dealers, don't watch it without him, he inspires me to try jobs myself with his top tips. Do we just watch on YouTube?

I too watch Wheeler Dealers. I record all the programmes even the ones I've already seen. I fast forward through Mikes input & just watch & learn from Edd. Superb!!1`

Whilst a lot of people may admire Edd China, regarding Wheeler Dealers, let's not forget the mechanics/technicians/engineers that you never get to see & the only acknowledgement these people get is their names flash by in a split second during the credits!!
The point I'm making is that he has several people in the background advising him too although I'm sure he's very knowledgeable. |

What I mean is, whilst Edd may come across on screen as 'knowing' about everything he works on, that's not always the case.
I'm not talking about when anything has to be sent away for specialist work to be done or the additional help he has because of time constraints. He has technical advisors the names of which flash by during the credits. |

They're the ones who usually appear as his "mate" who's just giving him a hand.

I must admit I just can't get away with Ant Anstead , I'm sure he's a really nice guy and he knows his stuff , but he just grates on me

Thanks for the heads up, I certainly will be watching. Edd is one of the good guys, he's got such a calming manner in how he goes about his work, you certainly learn a thing or two.
