Edd China leaving Wheeler Dealers

[njbray]

A lot of people (me included) now spend more time watching Youtube. There is so much good motoring content you can spend hours watching!
Too many of the tv shows just seem to be restoring the same old muscle cars, and then pretending to be stressed by unrealistic time tables! It soon gets old!

I have never watched a complete episode of Wheeler Dealer. Most of the "Reality Show" genre has been a real turn-off for me especially the ones that migrate into personal drama, and away from more informative content. Watching that first video that BruceH linked, lead me down an hour-plus YouTube rabbit hole ending with Richard Hammond's rocket car crash and recovery. ...and now without having seen an episode of Wheeler Dealer, I'm a big fan of Edd.

True, especially since Roku / Apple TV and smart TVs, etc can access YouTube directly. I'm really tired of the juvenile, scripted 'tension / ego strutting' Velocity channel shows.

Edd was the reason I watched the show, certainly not Mike. I am interested to see what Edd comes up with. As for Wheeler Dealers, bye bye.
