Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

snt043005 I was really disappointed to hear that Edd had left the show. But I've been hooked on the show for years, and decided to watch the past 2 seasons with Ant as the new mechanic. To be honest, I think Ant has a strong personality of his own, and brings his own talents and spin to the show. It's still a great show and worth watching. I do miss Edd, and I enjoyed him for years on this show. I was going to pout and boycott the show when he left. But I'm glad I stuck with the show and gave Ant a chance.

jason_a_ellis Was a great show. It had that same quality Mythbusters had, it was entertaining, educational and I didn't have to worry of my 10yo daughter walked in the room because it was all kid safe if not kid interesting. The real star of the show was Ed and in the last couple of seasons it seemed to really fly with more time in the workshop than the tedious stuff about Mike looking for car on the internet. You could overlook the ridiculous "profit" that didn't include what would often have been thousands of pounds flying out to a city where a car was, renting a car to visit the car, towing it to a shipping agent and containering it back to the UK (or just putting it on a low loader when they moved to the US). You could ignore the £60-100 per hour in mechanics fees or Ed's tool collection that would cost many thousands of pounds to accumulate. You could ignore Mike selling cars for 1/2 what they're worth just to move them on. You could even ignore the obviously special deals Mike got from specialist repair people and manufacturers. You could do this because Ed's workshop bit was very good. Coming to the show recently and streaming the shows, I often skipped through the boring bits of the early shows where Mike bought a car and spoke to owners of a tidy example in the very early seasons watched Ed's section than skipped to the next episode when it got to Mike's sales bit. Mike was best when used as the parentheses around the Ed China Mechanical show, the cheeky chappy that told you what car they were going to get and why, sometimes offering insight on how not to buy a bad car, occasionally buying a few bits and then had a bit of fun at the end with the finished car. The thing is, you watch the shows and you get to think of Mike as the funny bloke down the pub and Ed as your mate that helps you fix your motor. So Ed leaving the show because the production company Velocity, thought they should cut the mechanical side of the production as it was too expensive to make has really broken the show. It's like Happy Days losing The Fonz. If Velocity think that Ed's mechanical bit was too expensive to produce, I imagine they'll find the whole show pretty expensive as people stop watching and resale and ad revenues fall. I can't watch the new series now "me old China" has gone.

kevinbruce I love this show, but feel in need to talk about the times in other reviews that people talk about the profit margins, I'm sorry but you are missing part of the show Edd and Mike are in the deals together, Edd is already getting paid by Mikes Garage and the profits from the show, the profit from the sales are a Cherry/ Bonus. So please don't worry about Edd, Mike does not keep him in a tool chest until he needs him, Edd has a few Guiness world records all of his own and is famous for quirky vehicles i.e drivable sheds and toilets. The Show is awesome, Mike makes it very clear he could make more profit but he needs to keep the cars moving so they can buy the next one add to that the flux of the used motor trade and some times the bottom line is low but that's not really why these guys do this.On a side note, ***SPOILER**** Very sad to see that Edd has decided to leave the show now he will be missed.

selenium-72743 First the good news, the format is great. I like the idea behind the show and watching Ed spanner his way through the renovation of some varied vehicles from the esoteric to the mundane, however...........I just wish Ed would learn to use another word other than "actually". I just watched an episode where he said something like "...it's actually designed to actually improve the aerodynamics and actually....". Seriously, c'mon. It's really amateurish and annoying, something that should have been dealt with long before the 162nd episode.The writers must be the laziest in the business because you can skip through almost the entire buying phase at the beginning of the show, the mid-point where Mike Brewer visits the workshop to check on progress and the last part where they sell because it's ALWAYS, ALWAYS the same.The test drive is lots of "Whooahh" Fantastic! Wow!! This fing goes like the clappers, it's great!!" as if he's never driven anything more powerful than a Reliant Robin before. This is followed on the way home by "It does have a few issues" (reels off long list).Then there's actually the actually interesting part where Ed actually diagnoses problems and actually begins to actually deal with them.Then Mike turns up and says "Why 'aven't you done nuffink? You spent how much?".Then there's actually an actually interesting bit where Ed actually does some actually interesting repairs and actually finishes the job.Then Mike comes back and says "I fink we cud ask plenty of fahsends of pahnds for this". Then a buyer turns up an Mike makes nowhere near the "Fahsends" he says he would. Oh, and then the totting up of how much the job has cost except it's not really accurate as they conveniently forget to include labour costs. I don't think I've seen a single project that would even have broken even without the free labour element.In its way this series is about as realistic as 'Top Gear' but with far more interesting content.
