This is the Late Brake Show Idol Chat, where Jonny Smith brings his brown chairs for a special interview. This episode features famously tall TV mechanic Edd China, who talks openly to Jonny and Grand Tour script editor Richard Porter about his life of cars before, during and after Wheeler Dealers.
Thank you for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
This interview was recorded live at The Late Brake Show Live on Tour on September 11th 2021.
Edd now has his own RU-vid channel - Workshop Diaries - where you can find weekly videos of the orange gloved mechanic massaging vehicles back to health.

Jonny and Richard 'Sniff Petrol' Porter record a weekly podcast called Smith and Sniff, which airs every Monday. Loosely based around car chat, Smith and Sniff often deviates into idiotic directionless banter, yet is reasonably respected amongst its listeners. Have we sold it to you?

What’s great about that interview is that you let Edd talk. That’s what people want to hear! Maybe an hour with Edd could be arranged. Great work. The best channel I’m subscribed to. Great production values and quality content

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 RU-vid 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.

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.

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

A good friend of mine's brother is the producer for the show and by all accounts Ed is the Diva. Mike is chill as. But i do agree that he brings a level of something that isnt easily quantifiable

@jeffsymons7084 3 года назад

@@rtorbs I would absolutely believe that. His whole story that he left because they wanted to cut back on the repairs and technical explanations doesn't even add up. 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.

@Renlondonhome 3 года назад

Wish he carried on that series.

@stephenvalente3296 Год назад

@@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!

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.

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 💜✌️

Coming from Edds YT page to see the answer to the Mike Brewer question. And it was good to hear. As much of a dick Mike was (a salesman first and foremost rather than a car nut like Edd), death threats is a step beyond! But that is the sad thing about media today - some people think they deserve to be heard and have the right to (sometimes horrible) free speech. Hopefully the people that posted the death threats were properly identified and prosecuted!
