Thank you 😅

Ed and Mike will still be the best tv car fixers ever! period.

I think it shows a lot about Edd’s character that he has had numerous chances to slander Mike but has remained perfectly pc where as Mike literally spit flames about him since they have parted. Edd is a gentleman. The class is built in.

This is undeniably the best channel on KZread at the moment, the variety, quality of content and guests is leagues ahead of anything else out there. Jonny, you should be very very proud of what you have achieved in a short space of time. Mr Porter, of course, a legend, I’ve been following Sniff since the beginnings, and Ed China, so nice to see someone who actually does what they say they’re doing, if you’re welding a part on we see the whole thing, not someone touching a torch against something and then a jump cut to the finished article (naming no names). Top entertainment as always.

what a guy i love edd china he is proper english mad scientist, just goes to show who kept that show on the road !!!!

I love the genuine honesty in all your “Idol chats” you allow the guests to speak openly and honestly. I think Edd is such a nice person, I admit I lost my love for wheeler dealers after Edd left but that wasn’t for any petty reasons, I always enjoyed the fact that Edd explains everything, I don’t care if I have to watch 15 minutes of someone changing suspension, if it’s someone like Edd as you come away from it with a sense of enlightenment. I have been following workshop diaries since it began, it’s fantastic because it explains so much. Much like the late brake show, Jonny makes honest and engaging content, which you enjoy end to end, regardless of content, though I admit my favorite part is “barn finds” Thanks again Jonny for the great content

The episodes I have watched with Ant have just as much major repairs and in depth explanations as when Edd was on the show. They even gave Ant his own series where he built an entire car from scratch. Edd chose to leave because he didn't get his own way and his unhinged fans have been harassing Mike about it for years when it was literally nothing to do with him.

Some years back myself and a friend went to the (new) Nurburgring with Ed, we were the 'half time entertainment' at an F1 truck GP. It ranks as one of the best vehicle weekends i've been involved in. I was in a 700cc race-tuned 14' Monbar speedboat that sat on a Robin Reliant chasis (built by Andy Saunders) and as i roared down the start/finish at 77mph i was overtaken by a skip, powered by a 1300 MG Metro engine! Ed defines the words Petrol-head, he epitomises the creative madness, a place where most fear to tread. This channel is the dogs danglies.

Totally agree with Edd's comments about mainstream TV. Wheeler Dealers is like a parody of it's former self with awfully scripted segments dreamed up by those who will never understand why the original format worked so well. There is car content on KZread that puts the mainstream media to shame, the reason why I and many others barely watch it. Keep up the great work Jonny & Edd 👏🏻

@@Renlondonhome Indeed, but I have to say that Ant and Marc bring a different dimension in their approach the cars Mike chucks their way. Marc seems a lot more active outside the workshop than the others were, so in some sense the format has evolved in giving more time back to the mechanics again. Still wish they'd cut back on the time given to the car buying and the "testing" section at the end to give us more time on the work done to the cars. After watching the more recent interview with Mike Brewer, time for them to bury the hatchet and move forward to produce the 20th anniversary mega build with all 3 mechanics. I could see why Ed would be ticked off with Mike for seemingly not standing up to Discovery in terms of the format changes that took place whilst in the USA, but that's several years on now amazingly. It would be nice to see the skills of the 3 key mechanics used for an offshoot series a bit like Overhaulin, West Coast Customs, etc. making so more radical cars UK style. Without the involvement of Mike it may well be more likely that we'd get to see them all share a screen by removing that Wheeler Dealers head from the project. Then again, would a TV network commit to spending some cash doing this, and wouldn't want some reality TV "celebrities" coming on wanting their cars blinged up for an ego trip!

Definitely kindred spirits, allowing each other to talk and follow the thought processes, with a light sprinkling of madness!

Great stuff! Edd made a good point about "mainstream TV" and how it really does not know how to deal with the rise of good quality KZread stuff, I for one watch more on KZread than anything else.

Ed is awesome, such a lovely normal down to earth kind of guy. He's one of those people who I could never imagine gets upset with anyone or anything.

thanks for reminding me about 'run to the sun', that brings back memories. Ed on the early wheeler dealers episodes was great and I really wish they'd stuck to that formula

1: Deduct some of Richard's pay, he did sod all in that 🤣 2: You really need to get Edd sat down doing a full, proper Idol Chat in his workshop some time in the future. Really get the feeling you only managed to scratch the surface of his stories and ideas in 35 minutes.

Normal car mad down to earth guy who I could watch for hours. He’s got a real likability about him and his banter with Rich on Smith and Sniff is downright stomach hurting funny at times 😂😂😂👍🏻

Both Edd and Johnny produce high end content. Better than free to air stuff. Thanks

Brilliant episode Jonny! Edd China, what a top bloke! I was hooked in the first 2minutes! More please!👍😊👏👏👏

Hurrah been waiting for this. Was at the live show but had to leave before this. Remember meeting Ed at silverstone. Really nice guy

I went to the event and heard it first hand, but still got lots out of hearing Edd again.... Jonny asking short but open questions and letting Edd speak... Really relaxed day for the watchers but I'm sure Jonny was on edge throughout.. but never seemed that way. Great day and great interview.

I've watched Edd from the beginning and this is most I've ever heard from him - a fascinating and rather everyday kinda person that happens to be an out of the box automotive guy - wonderful stuff Jonny, just wonderful!

Brilliant Idol chat with Edd. Great to see him just nattering on. Top bloke.. and you Johnny 👍 and Mr Porter 😉

This is the first time that I have heard Ed outside of W.D. An eye opener! Creative people like that are amazing.... I would be so proud to raise a son that was that interesting and that creative. Top guy! Brilliant interview.

Thanks for this all, ironically the first ever issue of max power I bought with my pocket money was the one with Edd's driving bed.

Brilliant to hear Edd talk on how he started his career great interview and setting he is a very interesting guy :-)

Terrific. Thanks for sharing this with those of us who couldn’t make it to the show. 👍

Love your channel and these chair interview videos are just ace! Thanks Jonny and your team .

What a genuinely nice guy and blimey hasn't he done a lot, more than I realised. Another top notch interview, brilliantly done Jonny, you will really need to dig deep into your little black book for the next show!!

Another cracking Interview✌️👍💜 The point Edd makes about schooling brings back memories for me, design, woodworking, metal work, yes we had a forge too. My dad, not all that long ago, was called in, with a friend, both were retired, to teach wood turning at the local school because the tech teacher didn't know how to use a lathe. They also ended up teaching metal lathe skills etc too (his friend was ex merchant navy engineer as well). It took a lot of red tape and paperwork and my dad stated that ALL mobile phones were banned as full concentration was required for the machine work. The kids loved it, engrossed with it all. In addition our live steam garden railway encouraged several to take up engineering when they went up to university, others merely took up the all encompassing hobby of railway modelling, very therapeutic. We were also fortunate to raise funds for charity from open days too. Sadly health and safety etc has gone from zero (when I worked with my hands) to stupid now, along with insurances and red tape. Happier times prior 💜✌️

Ed’s needs to build a counter tash. Like a countache, but a counter with a moustache 😬

I am so glad Edd made the reference to this talk from his Workshop Diaries channel, or I might never have discovered it. Awesome interview, especially where you let Edd make remarks about Wheeler Dealer and Mike. I think I glean from your comments a desire similar to mine, that Edd and Mike eventually do something together again. Their chemistry is undeniable. Kudo's from across the pond, and awesome channel sir. I am now subscribing.

Love all these 'Idol Chat' programmes! Almost like radio in the fact you seem to get the real person shining through.Many a time I just relax and just listen to the audio, without looking at the screen.Look forward to more in the future.

Great, silly, fun! Thanks Edd, Jonny, & Richard.

Fantastic to hear Edd talk so openly. Great questions Johnny

Edd is one of the nicest blokes in the engineering building of vehicles on KZread .jonny you get the best guests

Ed is such a natural infront of the camera 👌🏻

Jonny, the Tall Man is most definitely a one of, unlikely to occur again. There is something both so special and so warmly human about him- not succeeding at a project is possible- failing isn't, not really- Edd has always found a great take away. So glad you brought this to us- Edd would never think we would be so interested, on his own show- I think he is "not correct" about that! Stay Awesome! FR

Brilliant! Thank you Edd, and thank you Jonny for all that you do, I love your channel. Would love to see an interview with Vicky Butler-Henderson if you could tempt her, cos she is such a fun character, and I bet she has some stories to tell. Tiff and Jason would be fun guests too I reckon. And maybe the three amigos, Clarkson, Hammond, and May, just speaking frankly about what got them into cars etc. But keep it up Jonny, so refreshing to see a show that is not constrained by 'WOKE' 'PC' tv execs.

Love it ! Thanks for having Edd on ! 👏🏻😎
