Sitting here watching Car SOS and enjoying watching shows like Wheeler Dealers and seeing cars refurbished, it's great to see mechchanics like Fuz Townsend, who I had a chat with at the NEC recently and comes across as a genuine guy, and Ed China, again saw at the NEC, rebuild classic cars to there former glory and it is great. I know it's entertainment T.V . and not as it seems but why do they pair them up with imbeciles such as Mike Brewer and Tim Shaw.
To make your Black Lab look passive and obedient you need someone walking along behind with a yappy Jack Russell.
Showing my age here, but Shed and Buried is about the only TV show that I retain an interest in.
His motorcycle trips are good too, essentially because, yes, I've done most of them a long time ago. Tearful sometimes.
Totally agree with you, great progam and two likeable guys

"Highway Thru Hell" which about a firm doing heavy truck recover in the snowy north of Canada on Netflix is addictive.
Tim shaw is an idiot, how he is still working in the entertainment industry is beyond me.
Mike brewer on the other hand is a top bloke stuck playing the role of a wide boy car dealer.
Shed and Buried is one of my favourites - Henry Cole is, in real life, an immensely clever bloke but who comes across as one of the lads - a bit of a
hippie, a bit of a clown. When you look closer he's the producer of most of his shows, an ex-TV cameraman in war zones, etc.
I reckon the travel channel wouldn't survive without him! (But he probably owns half the channel...)
Mike brewer 'playing the role' of wide boy dodgy car dealer - he doesn't play at he is
He seemed OK to me when I met him, certainly no where near as annoying as he is on wheeler dealers.
Funny you should say that "the duck" he appeared reasonable at the NEC too so why act a pratt for the tele. Good job the TV program makes him money though, many cars he buys for Wheeler Dealers make a few hundred quid profit yet take into no account the labour costs and facilities that Ed China provides.
