If you like cars or just good TV you'll like Wheeler Dealers. It's one of the view car shows on TV these days that isn't absolute trash or has douchebags on it like Gas Monkey. For those of you unfamiliar with the show, the main host Mike would go out and find a car in rough, but overall fair shape, buy it in hopes of making money on it. He would then hand the car off to the shows mechanic Edd China who would do the work on the car and great thing about this show is it would show you what work went on. Edd would also give you some handy tips too, and tell you off a particular job was diy or not. Anyway back to the story.
Edd is leaving because Velocity(the channel the show airs on) wanted Edd to cut corners. Apparently his scenes were the hardest to film and Velocity didn't like that. Edd stood his ground saying that he felt like these scenes were crucial to the show and cutting them would be bad. They couldn't come to an agreement so Edd is leaving. I am sad now because it was such a good show.

Sorry, I haven't been able to be around much lately. I will miss Edd on the show, but not Mike. Never liked him to begin with. I only watched it because of exactly why Edd id leaving - They want to shorten or cut out the tips and methods that he shows you things work and what it take to repair them. He's a mechanical genius in a way and you can tell he has made many of the diagnostic tools he uses himself. If anything I'd rather a show of more Edd and what he does than the way the show had been. I also believe he will go in in some manner and will continue to be successful without WD. He's a great teacher.

Well that's a shame, that's one of the few television programs I would watch
