Wheeler Dealers - NEW new series! ~ Lotus content

[Andy G]

For me it is far superior than TG or 5th Gear and more relevant to a car fan. It at least imparts some knowledge about car mechanics and restoration methods. Sure, Brewer is a comedy sidekick but it works well to balance out the more in depth sections where Ed is changing camber etc, even if he is a little in your face.

You have to be kidding - Chris Harris is about the only thing worth watching, but at least TG isnt wooden, and 5th Gear presenters actually can present.

These guys are absolutely shocking. Not many times I look at a TV show and think I could do better, but in this case, anyone could. Talentless muppetry that robs you of time you'll never get back

I like it, got to take it all with a pinch of salt though.
If you actually tried to make a living the way these guys go about things you'd be bankrupt in no time.

I don't watch it for the production or presentation qualities, I watch it for the mechanical / restoration insight and tips. I appreciate it is on a fairly basic and superficial level, but I still enjoy it. Sometimes I admire their upgrades, but mostly assess where I would spend the money differently. I also enjoy the reminiscing over cars from my youth. Looking forward to the new series.

I'm not a fan of Harris. I find it hard to connect with him - but that is very obviously a personal thing. I enjoy WH for what it is, a somewhat informational show with classic cars that I like to see / hear about.

You disagree and I appreciate that.

I was SO dissapointed with their Lotus effort that ended it for me.

I genuinely think it could be an awesome show, but you need someone more personable than Brewer, and his lines seem so strictly scripted - there is no real story or depth to the programme at all.

Still amazed so many people watch it - its right up there with Antiques Roadshow in terms of desire to watch for me.

Just pictured Brewer presenting the Antiques Roadshow. "Hold out yer annnd!"

Pretty much sums up my view on the show

£350 for a pair of carbon vent covers when you are trying to make the max for selling on, muppet.

I agree - great concept but the execution is dire. Mate watches it for Ed's mistakes (whilst mocking his "special" gloves).
