People Have Been Sending Mike Brewer Death Threats And Edd China Isn’t Happy
Judging by the response to our story about Edd China leaving Wheeler Dealers last week, it seems a lot of you are sad to see him go. However, some have chosen to take their anger about the trigger for Ed’s leaving - the production company ‘dumbing down’ the show - out on presenter Mike Brewer.
China today released a video mentioning that Brewer and his family have been on the receiving end of vitriol from angry Wheeler Dealers fans. He said: “Mike called me at the weekend and told me that over the past few days; not only he, but also his wife and daughter had been receiving a lot of abuse and even death threats, because of my leaving the show, and that’s really NOT cool.” Not cool indeed.
While he conceded Mike is “probably not” his “favourite person at right now” and that “I know for sure I am not his,” he urged fans to move on and look forward to the prospect of potentially having two great workshop-related shows to watch - Wheeler Dealers, and whatever China does next.
It’s sad that China had to make this video at all, but hopefully the abuse aimed at Brewer and his family will now die down.

I am a fan of wheeler dealers and yes it is disappointing to see him leave, the show will be different without him. But the fact that there are people out there getting so wound up over it that they feel the need to take sickening actions such as this is quite sad. Its not the end of the world people. Do these people seriously not have anything better to do than to contact people theyve never met and send death threats over something that doesnt really matter? I mean im not the biggest fan of mike brewer but no one deserves to have this happen to them over something that wasnt really there fault. These people need to get a hobby or something.
Beware Death Threats Issuers, China Is Gonna Sue You…
J.clarkson leaves TG gets no death threats but the bbc, edd china does and he gets death threats
logic
Dude is awesome
It’s terrible that that’s where we are as a society. When something happens that we don’t like we instantly move to death threats against the whole family.
sad times, as you program was a good insight as what can be achieved - But i can’t believe what some people will be like - You are a top chap, and i will be keeping an eye out for what happens next with your own project. I wish you all the best.
Can’t believe what some people would say. I was shocked to hear of the split, but in saying that i am sure it won’t be too long before we all see you in a new program. I wish you well in whatever it is you do -
Edd needs his own show, possibly even on YouTube
Or introduce hime to The Grand Tour as their new mechanic. (I’d love to see the Top Gear trio, the Stig (aka Ben Collins) and Edd together in one show!)
