I didn't enjoy the episode much. Ed really made the show what it was.

Ant really strikes me as an actor more than a mechanic.

I really liked Ed China also but am now enjoying the program with Mike and Ant. Ant demonstrates his efforts with drawings. I am looking forward to the episode with the W123 wagon.

I can put up with them both . But Brewer is a throw back . I did this and i did that he only kept Edd or Ant in parts to do the job .But i see Brewer is getting his hands dirty in new episodes .

I wonder though how much mechanical work either of them do. We just see what is on the camera.

The full episode was posted on the Facebook W123 group last week. I downloaded it. It was pretty good. I learned some things.

Haven't seen this episode yet. I wonder if Ant will do The Rear Main Seal?


As far as Ant VS. Ed - Ant is OK but Ed was The Real Deal. I agree that Mr. Brewer is unnecessary - I don't think selling the car is the point of the show. If labor is figured in, I can't see where they're making any money of the projects and besides (as I said) 'tain't the point anyhow.


Someone thought "Ant" is a weird name - guessing it's short for "Anthony". Brits are like the French - they have a different word for everything.

Here is a link to the episode if anyone wants


It was quite fun to watch but it seems very unrealistic to me.
