  Take one canny car trader, a mechanical maestro, 5,000 and a load of oil, sweat and know-how, and what have you got? Wheeler Dealers of course! Mike Brewer and Edd China hunt for treasure as they find rundown classic cars and transform them into sleek, gleaming beauties ready to sell on to a punter for a healthy profit. Mike starts with a handy 5,000 and then goes on the hunt for a decent motor for the price – looking through the small ads, internet auctions, specialist clubs and garage forecourts to find the perfect second hand car. Once Mike’s found the right car, he uses all his canny experience to negotiate the best price, then it’s back to the Wheeler Dealers workshop where Edd casts his expert eye over what Mike has dredged up – because there are usually more than a few bits and pieces that need a bit of work. Edd then starts on the renovation, giving tips along the way about electrics, structural issues, mechanics, cosmetic touches and finishing work. Once all the work is done, the boys clean it up, get a new MOT and get behind the wheel to take the revamped motor for a test drive. All Mike has to do then is to find a willing punter and get them to part with their cash, with the aim of making a tidy profit.

• Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell (Classic Albums) | DVD | (01/12/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £10.99

  Since its release in 1977 Bat Out Of Hell has gone on to sell an estimated 30 million copies and has become one of the top five biggest selling albums of all time. Released during the days of the disco boom and the advent of Punk Rock Bat Out Of Hell totally bucked the musical trends of the day yet as Meat Loaf recalls is ""more honest than 99% of all records released"". The remarkable story of Bat Out Of Hell is told here by its leading contributors including Meat Loaf himself composer Jim Steinman record producer Todd Rundgren and backing vocalists Ellen Foley and Karla De Vito together with others who helped in the construction of Bat Out Of Hell's ""Wall Of Sound"". Steinman and Meat Loaf first met when Meat auditioned in new York for a role in a Steinman musical. On first seeing and hearing Meat Loaf Steinman realised that he had found the voice and the personality to front the project that would become Bat Out Of Hell. The route to securing a record deal wasn't plain sailing as both Jim and Meat described the audition process that led them to being rejected by dozens of labels who decided that Bat Out Of Hell was ""way too theatrical"" to have any chance of being a success. Jim Steinman recalls how the Bat Out Of Hell project first came to fruition and how a teenage obsession of his to write the ultimate ""car crash song"" led to the creation of one of rock music's most recognised anthems. Record Producer Todd Rundgren reveals how Bat Out Of Hell was reviewed as damaged goods when it was eventually released and how the music critics met it with indifference. Meat Loaf remembers the early days spent touring that often led to him to the point of collapse due to physical exhaustion so determined was he that Bat Out Of Hell would become a success. Featuring archive footage interviews and live performances plus many of Bat Out Of Hell's finest songs including Paradise By The Dashboard Light You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night) Heaven Can Wait and Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad; this is the compelling story of the making of one of rock music's finest hours a true Classic Album.
